| rrva | Hi! I need a guide similar to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_Encryption_with_LUKS_for_dm-crypt#Encrypted_swap_with_suspend-to-disk_support for ubuntu | 00:38 |
|---|---|---|
| rrva | anyone? | 00:38 |
| Daekdroom | Has anyone noticed nautilus is using too much memory? | 03:11 |
| Daekdroom | I just realized it's using 160MB :| | 03:11 |
| Daekdroom | turns out bug 174809 is kinda old. | 03:15 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 174809 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "Nautilus using more and more memory (depending on the system up-time)" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/174809 | 03:15 |
| DanaG | hmm, is there still both "remove drive" and "eject" in Nautilus? | 03:21 |
| DanaG | The way Win7 describes things is nice: if I have an eSATA CD drive, it gives two options: "Eject Disk Name (F:)" and "Remove HL-DT-ST GSA-T50L Optical Drive". | 03:22 |
| Daekdroom | DanaG, as far as I remember, that same thing also happens in nautilus | 03:22 |
| Daekdroom | I remember getting confused about which one using to unplug my cellphone. | 03:22 |
| DanaG | The key is it's not just "safely remove" and "eject" -- it gives the name. Eject *disk name* versus remove *drive name* | 03:23 |
| Daekdroom | So, there is a difference between unmouting something and unplugging it.. | 03:24 |
| DanaG | Yeah, unmount is a third state. | 03:24 |
| DanaG | Analogy: USB SD reader in my dad's desktop: "eject" on drive leter ejects card; "safely remove" removes reader itself, requiring a reboot to get it back. | 03:25 |
| DanaG | er, letter. | 03:25 |
| DanaG | I also kind of wish we had a "device attached" sound. | 03:27 |

| gord | anyone using nvidia on maverick able to confirm really poor 2d performance? | 15:59 |
| IdleOne | gord: what do you mean by poor? | 16:00 |
| gord | IdleOne, gtk takes forever to do anything, scroll windows. render things, anything. happens on my two nvidia machines | 16:00 |
| IdleOne | nope, nothing like that for me so far | 16:00 |
| om26er | gord, that might be appmenu-gtk causing.. | 16:01 |
| gord | om26er, already removed that | 16:01 |
| IdleOne | I do have one issue when trying to play Assault Cube but for the life of me I am not able to describe it :/ | 16:02 |
| gord | xorgs cpu just hits 99% on my dual core as well, its crazy | 16:04 |
| gord | and very much not fun | 16:04 |
| ripps | Is it safe to resize my ext4 partitions? I want to shrink my root partition and expand my /home | 16:06 |
| om26er | ripps, resizing is not safe but worked for me everytime I tried | 16:08 |
| ripps | om26er: I've pretty much filled my /home, but I have a ton unused space in /, so I was hoping I could get a little more space. | 16:09 |
| ripps | What would be the safest way to go about it? | 16:10 |
| om26er | ripps, start the live session and use gparted there I guess. | 16:10 |
| ripps | that's what I figured | 16:11 |
| Andre_Gondim | what is the software that will replace f-stop? | 18:29 |
| Andre_Gondim | what is the software that will replace f-spot? | 18:29 |
| G_A_C | shotwell? | 18:29 |
| Andre_Gondim | yeah, thanks | 18:29 |
| h00k | Yep | 18:35 |
| Daekdroom | When is shotwell replacing F-spot anyway? o.o | 18:50 |
| om26er | Daekdroom, soon | 18:51 |
| om26er | my guess next week. | 18:52 |
| duffydack | I have lucid with just / /home and swap. I have 30gig spare at the end for maverick, can I install maverick with a /boot partition and not affect lucid? | 19:23 |
| toabctl | i updated to 10.10 and now my computer is very very slow. the led of the harddisk is blinking all the time. any known bugs about this? | 20:18 |
| toabctl | eg installation of unity needs about 20 minutes and evolution does not start | 20:19 |
| yofel | toabctl: can you check with 'iotop' what is using your hdd all the time? Or does you system maybe use swap excessively? | 20:19 |
| toabctl | yofel, evolution is using 99% | 20:29 |
| yofel | hm, then the question is why, I personally don't use it so I can't help you, you'll have to wait for someone else who might know more | 20:31 |
| DrHalan | anyone using the network-indicator here? | 20:38 |
| duffydack | to answer my own question, it`ll be fine. just tried it in a vm. | 20:43 |
| DrHalan | what question duffydack | 20:44 |
| yofel | duffydack: it should be fine, only thing that might interfere is grub | 20:44 |
| duffydack | yofel, I told it not to install grub. | 20:44 |
| duffydack | I just booted lucid and ran update-grub and | 20:44 |
| DrHalan | do you guys have a update-grub being triggered when a new kernel gets installed? | 20:45 |
| duffydack | done | 20:45 |
| DrHalan | because i always have to call it manually | 20:45 |
| duffydack | so whats good about this btrfs... | 20:45 |
| yofel | duffydack: that should work fine then | 20:46 |
| DrHalan | duffydack: it has build in raid and backups | 20:46 |
| duffydack | DrHalan, hmm, I dont have any raid setups, and I do my own backups. | 20:46 |
| DrHalan | duffydack: if you cahnge a file in btrfs it does not overwrite it but instead creates a new one. that makes it possible to undo changes | 20:47 |
| DrHalan | its not static time based backups | 20:47 |
| DrHalan | you should do those anyways in case your harddsik may break | 20:48 |
| duffydack | DrHalan, ah. so it uses more disk space | 20:48 |
| DrHalan | afaik it removes old files if free space gets rare but im not an expert | 20:49 |
| duffydack | DrHalan, does it have that 5% nonsense like ext? | 20:49 |
| DrHalan | ? | 20:49 |
| duffydack | reserved space | 20:49 |
| DrHalan | you mean swap? | 20:49 |
| duffydack | first thing I do after every install is tune2fs -m 0 | 20:50 |
| Andre_Gondim | after the last update, when I rebooting Ubuntu, my ubuntu freezing after GDM and I needed to reinstall | 20:50 |
| duffydack | ok here goes, real world install :0 | 20:51 |
| DrHalan | what does that doo | 20:53 |
| DrHalan | a duffydack is gone.. | 20:53 |
| yofel | DrHalan: you can set reserved space that is only writable by the root user so a regular user can't fill up the whole disk and make system services break for out of space issues | 20:55 |
| yofel | by default reserved space is 5% | 20:56 |
| DrHalan | woa.. | 20:56 |
| DrHalan | and that area is still labled free by nautilus? | 20:56 |
| yofel | not sure | 20:57 |
| yofel | it should be labled used I think | 20:57 |
| DrHalan | but 5% is like 6 gb on my system | 20:58 |
| DrHalan | wtf.. | 20:58 |
| yofel | well, that percentage is from the times of 1GB hdds ^^ | 20:59 |
| DrHalan | yeah but why isn'T there a fixed size as limit | 21:00 |
| yofel | use tune2fs -m <percentage> to change it | 21:00 |
| yofel | dunno | 21:00 |
| DrHalan | well i sitl have like 15 gbs free so i don'T bother.. | 21:00 |
| DrHalan | 6gb is like the leftover of WoW when i deleted it from wine ^^ | 21:00 |
| yofel | ok, it seems '-r' is a fixed value | 21:00 |
| yofel | [ -r reserved-blocks-count ] | 21:01 |
| yofel | [ -m reserved-blocks-percentage ] | 21:01 |
| duffydack | my god that was worse than installing win3.11 | 22:09 |
| duffydack | it took me over an hour to get to 67% installing/configuring/preparing using the alternate installer, just as I was about to say Enough and reboot, it locked. | 22:10 |
| duffydack | I`ll wait for a daily-live that will let me choose to not install grub (the last 2 or 3 wont let me) | 22:11 |
| === C-S-B_ is now known as C-S-B | ||
| tmzt | duffydack: it locked? changing vt didn't help? | 22:35 |
| duffydack | tmzt, nope. I proceeded to alt+sysrq rseiub but after the e it dropped me back to an error with installer so I could abort it. this was alpha2, burned onto a usb stick with startup disk creator in lucid. | 22:38 |
| jwatt | when I try to install 10.10 alpha 2 from DVD, after selecting English and choosing Install, I just get a black window with a blinking cursor in the top left | 22:58 |
| jwatt | is that a known issue? | 22:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | jwatt, it sounds like it might be a problem with plymouth if you don't see any graphics when the computer starts. What gfx card are you using? Do you know if the LiveCD for 10.10 (and 10.04 for that matter) work correctly? | 23:02 |
| jwatt | I know I have a late 2008 macbook pro | 23:04 |
| jwatt | I can look up the graphics card for that, but I don't know the answer to the other questions, ZykoticK9 | 23:04 |
| jwatt | the flashing cursor would seem to suggest to me that it could be something other than a graphics problem though | 23:05 |
| jwatt | and note that the install doesn't seem to start | 23:06 |
| jwatt | (as opposed to this being a problem after installing) | 23:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | jwatt, sorry man, I've never owned any apple hardware and have no insights at all into getting it working. Best of luck man. "lspci | grep -i vga" should tell you your graphics info. | 23:07 |
| jwatt | NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics processor | 23:08 |
| jwatt | from my mbp's specs http://support.apple.com/kb/sp499 | 23:08 |
| jwatt | fair enough | 23:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | jwatt, does bug #550950 apply to you? | 23:11 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 550950 in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) "Blank screen with nvidia drivers on Macbook Pro 5,5 13.3"" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/550950 | 23:11 |
| jwatt | ZykoticK9: from the sounds of it that's a completely blank screen - no output at all - so probably a graphics problem | 23:14 |
| jwatt | which sounds a bit different to the flashing white cursor that I have - which sounds like something is stalled | 23:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | jwatt, i get a couple seconds of flashing cursor before plymouth loads with my nvidia right now | 23:15 |
| jwatt | plymouth is used to start the installer too? | 23:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | jwatt, are you still in #ubuntu channel as well? see Dr_Willis's comment from a moment ago. and we believe plymouth is used on the livecd. | 23:24 |
