ChogyDanZykoticK9: so what do you want to do?  The only thing that I can give hints on is to remove the package.  Since it is maverick, the package may just be broken atm.00:08
ZykoticK9ChogyDan, i think it's just broken right now.00:08
ChogyDanZykoticK9: well, to remove, I would just delete the connman.postinst script, and then use whatever to remove the package00:09
ZykoticK9ChogyDan, thanks.  I'll try that out when i reboot into Maverick.00:10

VolkodavI added a new drive to the system and now I need to change hd2 to 3 in grub and root from sdc3 to sdd4 - I edit it on the fly in grub but I need to put it in permanently03:40
Volkodav /boot/grub/grub.cfg once booted shows the correct settings03:41
Jordan_UVolkodav: Grub2 uses UUIDs and so should need no modification. I think there is more going on.04:19
VolkodavJordan_U: more going on? what do you mean ?04:39
Jordan_UVolkodav: You should not need to change your grub.cfg when you add a new drive, so if you need to edit anything "on the fly" there is something else going on, like maybe you have an old grub installation that you're now booting.04:45
Jordan_UVolkodav: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt ?04:45

Volkodavhttp://pastie.org/107887404:53
VolkodavI think I know what's up04:54
VolkodavI f I change in bios TO USE THE SDD  instead of sdb it should boot ok04:57
Volkodavright Jordan_U04:57
Volkodav?04:57
Volkodavand I have grub on 2 drives too hmm05:03
DanaGah, two drives, boot order? yeah, can cause major confusion.05:19
DanaGWhen I choose to boot from the "secondary" drive, it becomes hd0 in grub... yet is still sdb in kernel.05:19
VolkodavPITA05:28
Jordan_UDanaG: Most BIOSs make whatever drive you booted from the first one because window's bootloader used to ignore the value passed to it by the BIOS and just assume that the first drive was the drive it needed to read from. Now we're stuck with it (once the kernel starts the BIOS is out of the picture and the kernel does its own enumeration of devices).05:30
DanaGI wish HP's UEFI implementation weren't broken... then I'd use UEFI boot mode.05:31
Jordan_UDanaG: I don't think there is any implementation of UEFI that isn't broken :)05:31
VolkodavSo what's a better solution here ?05:31
DanaGI also wish I knew somebody on HP's business-notebook group -- then I'd give suggestions.05:32
DanaGLike, the addition of rubber bumpers in certain places.05:32
DanaGOh yeah:05:32

ubottuLaunchpad bug 612432 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "UEFI boot needs Experimental branch of Grub" [Undecided,New]05:35
Jordan_UDanaG: Sounds like it is solved by the recent newreloc work, which I expect will make it into maverick before release.05:40
Jordan_UDanaG: IIRC the problem is that on 64 bit systems the initramfs is sometimes being loaded at > 4 GIG even though the kernel is started in 32 bit mode and thus can't access it.05:41
DanaGAh, perhaps you can comment on that, and I'll edit the description to say more precisely "newreloc"05:43
DanaGOh, and earlycon doesn't seem to work with uefi.05:44
DanaGAnd grub-efi serial hangs.05:44
DanaGOh, and my framebuffer claims to be at 0x0 if you try to use GraphicsOutputProtocol.... confuses Windows, as well.  Intel Wifi gives "unable to allocate resources" in Windows.05:46

VolkodavWhat's confusing here is that it says hd2 and sdc3 for root so in kernel eyes it is sdc so the BIOS should read from sda for this setup to work ?05:46
DanaGBetter to use UUIDs, or at least labels.  I finally went around and renamed all my partitions to stop confusing myself:05:47
DanaGwin7 (on ssd).  ssd-docs.  ssd-boot. ssd-root. hdd-docs.  hdd-boot. hdd-root.05:47

DanaGWorst boot thing I've seen, in some Dell Precision workstation: boot menu had only one option for "sata hard drive".  Had to DISABLE port 0 drive to boot port 1 drive!05:49
DanaGTwo "showstopper" bugs for me on Maverick: brightness control doesn't work, and it treats my middle button as a left button.05:53
DanaGSo to press the middle button, I have to press... the middle button and the right button.05:53

aliendude3500Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with my system, but because I know how to manually connect to the internet with dhclient, it's only a bit of an annoyance. My system has two volume control icons in the notification bar instead of just one, and I have no networking icon. Firefox is always stuck in "offline" mode, and even though I'm on a wired ethernet connection, Ubuntu doesn't even attempt to connect me to the interne13:48
aliendude3500t when it starts up, so everytime I get on my computer, I have to go into terminal, type sudo dhclient, open firefox, and put it in online mode (every time I open it, even though I have internet access at this point), just to browse the web. It's been like this for a while. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?13:48
repetealiendude3500, run `nm-applet` and that should allow you to connect to the Internet.  This will also tell Firefox you are on the Internet.13:49
repetealiendude3500, start with that and see if it helps13:49
aliendude3500repete: That's just about the same thing as running dhclient, but it's not an ideal solution, since it's on a session by session basis...13:50
aliendude3500just ran that -- says "Networking Disabled".13:50
aliendude3500I'm on the computer that has the issue right now. Networking obviously works.13:50
timhelppleasei get no package named libglib2.0 is installed, cannot configure13:51
repetealiendude3500, right click on the network applet and see if you can re-enable networking13:51
repetetimhelpplease, might be libglib2.0-013:52
repeteyou have to be annoyingly accurate13:52
timhelppleaseyep gave errors status 13413:53
aliendude3500repete: ah, that seems to have worked.13:54
aliendude3500Also, I still have two volume sliders, one of which is _always_ muted, even though I'm playing sound just fine now...13:54
repetealiendude3500, Are you running Desktop or Netbook Edition?13:55
aliendude3500At first I thought it might be because I'm on 5.1 surround sound, but my rear channels and subwoofer work fine...13:55
aliendude3500Desktop edition13:55
repetealiendude3500, hmmm... that usually happens if 1) you have just done an update and the gnome volume applet is running twice or 2) you are using both sys tray and the sound indicator.13:57
repetealiendude3500, 1 can be solved by just rebooting and for 2 you will have to remove one or the other13:57
repetetimhelpplease, any luck?13:57
timhelppleaseno13:57
timhelppleaseyep gave errors status 13413:57
timhelppleasegave errors status 13413:58
repetetimhelpplease, \o/13:58
repetetimhelpplease, hurray for arcane errors13:58
timhelppleaselol13:58
aliendude3500I'll see if it disappears when I reboot13:58
aliendude3500both are in the same applet13:59
aliendude3500there's only one mail icon13:59
timhelppleasecan i just reinstall all packages from disc?13:59
repetealiendude3500, the mail icon (messaging indicator) is a special icon that only lives in one applet.  Sound indicator is a new applet that replaces the gnome-volume-applet from the sys tray.14:00
repetetimhelpplease, tough one...14:01
timhelppleaseyeah14:01
timhelppleaseI have a feeling that i should have prob stayed at 10.04 for my work pc14:01
timhelppleaselol14:01
repetetimhelpplease, yea, though things are fairly stable by this stage it can be rather thorny... I recommend deja-dup for this reason. :-)14:02
repetetimhelpplease, you can try re-booting with the live CD and I'll send you a link with instructions on recovering you system.14:03
repetetimhelpplease, otherwise, I'm afraid you may need to re-install :-/14:03
timhelppleaseyeah ill dig out a disc14:03
timhelppleasedoes need to be a 10.10 disc?14:03
timhelppleaseand yes backup would have been a good idea14:04
timhelppleaseok dsic in could i please have that uel14:06
timhelppleaseurl even14:07
repetetimhelpplease, I can't find the one I wanted, but try this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery14:10
timhelppleaseok cheers ill try14:11
repetetimhelpplease, np.  If you have an external drive I recommend you backup your home directory while in the live environment.  That way you can re-install if you need to.14:11

yofeljwatt2: it's still in the package list so apt thinks it's available, only the binary was locked on the server14:29

jwatt2that make good sense14:31

wechatyofel: simply programs in  ubuntu after yesterday began to crash (even Screenshot Tool) some times -- It probably cases when i'm closing the apps. It's not annoying but Is it my mistake or it's just not so ideal in maverick for now?15:56
yofelwechat: dunno, could be related to the glib mess currently15:57
yofeltry to update and if it isn't fixed by today evening, file the crashes15:57
wechatyofel: coz i wanna understand the situation -- where to wait to be fixed and where to read man's Ok let the developers do their work -- not a pitty that i had upgraded anyway16:00
wechatyofel: ty for brinning some light to the situation16:01
wechatyofel: what do you mean "file the crashes"? launchpad ? i think it's not a big problem in *developing* version16:06
atrusknows issue with gnome-session depending on a version of gnome-session-bin that's not available? can't log into my gui any more :)16:09
jconnollyanyone test-drive ubuntu-netbook alpha3 on VirtualBox yet?16:12
jconnollyi don't get a menu for grub2, just skips into booting default.  anyone know how to force a menu?16:12
PiciHold down shift?16:12
jconnollyduh16:12
* jconnolly tries16:12
jconnollyand voila16:13
jconnollythx16:13
PiciNo problem.16:13
yofelwechat: well, generally no, but we maverick users are supposed to file bug reports when something goes wrong, if you need help with that go to #ubuntu-bugs - btw, if you could somehow get me an english error message I might be able to tell you more :/16:26
aliendude3500My system seems to crawl to a halt when there is almost no memory left, and I am doing several tasks at once. I have a fairly powerful CPU, and 2 gigs of ram, is there anything I can do to improve my performance?16:28
wechatyofel: ok. all right and some problems with sound from mpg123 - but I believe I understand you about glib (?) - everything is clear. There a lot of other problems not my Don't worry16:29
aliendude3500It may be relevant that I don't have a swap file, as writing to my RAM is much faster than writing to my hard disk16:29
yofelaliendude3500: actually I think I experience the same a while ago (no swap either). I had iotop open as I was debugging something else and IIRC *many* applications suddenly started reading from disk as I got close to out of memory16:31
yofeldidn't investigate much further yet16:31
yofel(and my system came to a grinding halt so that I could barely move the mouse and had to use sysrq+k to do something again16:31
yofel)16:31
atrusokay, this may be a silly question... where is nm-applet under maverick? i can't seem to find any of my notification icons... nm-applet, xchat-gnome, and a few others don't seem to support the indicator yet...16:36
JoshuaLatrus, what happens if yuo start nm-applet from the terminal?16:37
JoshuaLi believe there was a bug where it would be only 1px in certain cases.16:38
atrusJoshuaL: no errors, but it doesn't seem to display anything.16:42
atrusbut the other application i know uses the systray isn't showing up etither.16:43
aliendude3500yofel: I had to do the same thing -- I frequently end up using SysRq + K to unfreeze my system, which is a pain, as I mainly use my system for software development in Java, and NetBeans is a _huge_ resource hog, but Eclipse is a pain to use, and it's not easy to set-up.16:43
jconnollyanyone successfully boot into the netbook x86 alpha3 image?16:44
atruswhat else uses the notification area, that I could try to confirm?16:44
kkojibandi want to develop gcc 4.5 plugin in maverick. i already installed gcc-4.5 and gcc-4.5-plugin-dev. but i can't find header files that are used for compiling my plugin source code16:44
JoshuaLatrus, transmission (after enable it in settings)16:44
atrusJoshuaL: no, that goes in the indicator-applet.16:45
JoshuaLohw16:45
JoshuaLnvm me then :)16:45
jconnollyi get some nasties upon gnome-desktop start: http://pastebin.com/zVN6WfNc16:45
jconnollypolkit broken maybe?16:45
om26erdid anyone tried alpha3 with Wubi?16:46
atrusokay, damn. eggcups, xchat-gnome, nm-applet, mail-notification.... nothing's showing up in the notification area any more.16:51
atrusi know there was talk about the notification area being deprecated... is this by design?16:52
wechatjconnolly: i was said that there are some problems with glib for now Maybe because of that16:53
xabathere is indeed a serious issue affecting glib217:01
xabaa workaround is to revert to glib2.0-0_2.2517:02
wechatthnx | xaba17:02
xabawechat: you're welcome17:03
wechathope it will be solved soon17:03
xabahere is the wget: wget mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glib2.0/libglib2.0-0_2.25.11-3ubuntu1_i386.deb mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glib2.0/libglib2.0-data_2.25.11-3ubuntu1_all.deb17:04
wechatI find new style of volume control in da mix wuth Rhythmbox buttons17:04
xabaand of course sudo dpkg -i libglib2.0-0_2.25.11-3ubuntu1_i386.deb b libglib2.0-data_2.25.11-3ubuntu1_all.deb17:04
wechatxaba: well, I need to install gli2 deb?17:05
atrushrm. notification area came back when i moved it to a horiz. panel, then added something to it. weird.17:05
xabawechat: well reverting back17:05
wechatxaba: quick solution :) just dpkg -i OR remove the previous package before installation?17:06
* wechat privious17:07
xabait might be needed to do an "sudo dpkg --configure -a" in case you had an incomplete upgrade17:07
* wechat privious17:07
xabawechat: dpkg -i should be enough17:07
* wechat previous17:08
wechatgood &&  thanx for the answering17:09
xabaand of course it is a good idea to refrain from upgrading glib2 until they manage to sort the mess17:12
xabafyi bug # is 61424017:13
xabawechat: np17:13
yofelglib should be fine by now on most mirrors, at least as long as you get version 2.25.12.is.2.25.11-0ubuntu117:24
JoshuaLempathy all of the sudden does not remember the settings I have made :o18:59
jwattdoes anyone know if the extra information in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/607643 makes the issue more or less likely to be a problem with plymouth?19:14
ubottuLaunchpad bug 607643 in Ubuntu "Maverick alpha 2 can't install on late 2008 Macbook Pro (Plymouth fails to start?)" [Undecided,New]19:14
mikeconceptswondering if the free level of ubuntu one permits sync of firefox bookmarks once the associated plugin is installed19:15
Picimikeconcepts: #ubuntuone would be a better place to ask that.19:15
mikeconceptsPici: thanks19:16
jwattor does anyone know how I might bypass the problem with plymouth (it that's where the problem lies) and manage to boot my boot 10.10 a3 install?19:17
almoxarifejwatt: I can't recommend removing plymouth, but, I did and have not missed a thing19:19
Volkodavhttp://pastie.org/1080101 how do I fix the grub since I have to edit hd2 to hd3 and sdc3 to sdd3 on the fly and it boots should I install it to sda and uninstall the other 2 or just leave them there ?19:23
jwattalmoxarife: I've no idea how to remove plymouth - I'm new to linux19:24
jwattany pointers?19:24
jwattah, nm19:25
almoxarifejwatt: look at synaptic , its equiv to control panel program/add-remove19:25
jwattthere seem to be some google results for that19:25
jwattok, thank you19:25
jwattalmoxarife: although that sounds like I need to be able to boot, and right now I can't get past plymouth19:26
almoxarifejwatt: the second boot option takes you to a prompt, from there you may be able to remove plymouth, I don't know that the issue is plymouth though, and you will have to use the terminal method of removing/adding which is apt-get19:29
natesmI have just installed maverick a3 and my username does not appear in gdm (no usernames appear), but  my user/pw works fine, is there a way to enable username/password box like it used to be? can't  find it in gconf and I have no idea where ubuntu hides gdm.conf20:01
natesmoh, got it, didn't stick with gconf-editor for some reason but gconftool-2 worked fne20:06

BUGabundoanyone know who I can talk to, about avidemux?23:41
BUGabundo(or maybe gstreamer)23:41

faheynmove to main one to ensure I was getting latest updates as ie mirror was taking its time updating23:44
jpdsHeh.23:44
jpdsBut you'd be hammering the machines which the mirrors world-wide are trying to sync from.23:45
faheynvalid point moving back to local mirrors23:47
BUGabundoor do it like I do23:47
BUGabundotill the day jpds kills me23:47

BUGabundoif that wasn't suppose to work, it wouldn't work :p23:50
BUGabundojpds: no...what does that do ?23:50
BUGabundolucid??23:50
jpdsWhatever.23:50
jpdsBUGabundo: It uses GeoIP to redirect people to mirrors in their country.23:50
BUGabundohaah that has even MORE then me .P23:50
jpdsStill in testing phase, but works.23:50
jpdsBUGabundo: It only uses one at a time23:51
BUGabundoI can add that23:51
