jfihum, the 3 orange circles of the new default wallpaper is a bug?00:35
coz_jfi,  you mean this one ?  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/Warmlights.jpg00:41
jficoz_, no, this one: http://i.imgur.com/YCn7C.jpg00:42
coz_oooo00:42
coz_I hope that is a bug :)00:42
jfiI hope too, but I don't see any report on launchpad (yet?) :-)00:42
coz_jfi,  check in /usr/share/backgrounds and just open the image in image viewer to see if those ugly oranges are gone :)00:42
jfiAt least I am not the only one: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/ubuntu-1010-default-wallpaper.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+d0od+%28Omg!+Ubuntu!%2900:43
danyRjfi: I so want to see a bug report on the default wallpaper :D00:43
coz_jfi,  do you want the original withouth the oranges?00:43
coz_mm actually lucid one has one orange dot00:44
coz_jfi,    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/warty-final-ubuntu.png00:45
jficoz_, well, I am usualy using a solid back background, so I don't really care about the default background but.....00:45
coz_jfi,   good thinking :)00:45
jfiwell the lucid one does not hurt me, but the new one sounds like if a gimp newbie has quickly tested the brush button :)00:49

SmoodoHow are things with 10.10?  Coming along pretty well?02:32
IdleOneX is broken for some02:32
IdleOneI would wait for release if I was you02:32
SmoodoI've been subscribed to Webupd8 and trying backports of some of the software included in 10.10.02:33
SmoodoDidn't know the state of things on the whole 10.10 enchilada02:33
SmoodoThanks for the heads up IdleOne.02:35
IdleOneSmoodo: I am running maverick as my main OS and really haven't had any major issues I was not able to recover from.02:36

MarkDudeIs there a reason that Ubuntu One keeps repeatedly crashing?04:04
MarkDudeI mean it is dying like a few times every few minutes04:04
* MarkDude is not even using it04:04
MarkDudeHow can I shut it off?04:04
MarkDude& does it relate to PolicyKit preventing a normal shutdown04:05

Bridge|hi all just upgraded to 10.10, prob ismy cpu may have turned off before the install completed cuz when I turned it back on after assuming it finished cuz it was off, the ubuntu 10.01 loading with dots appear and there now ubuntu graphic logo its just text then i hit a command promt promting me for user name and pass i login and just have a unix like interface its just one big terminal/console no GUI04:49

DivecksHey all, are there glaring bugs in the latest (update-manager -d) build of Maverick? I'm installing it on my laptop (nothing important, just got it yesterday :D) Thanks! LD06:59
MarkDudeDivecks, the biggest issue I have seen is policykit stops a normal shutdown07:02
MarkDudeYou just have to tel it to shut down anyway07:02
Ian_cornemy NM crashes sometimes07:03
Ian_corneon my laptop07:03
MarkDudeThe tabs render funny on Chromium if you have a few of them open07:03
MarkDudeOh, Ubuntu one crashes every few minutes, and I am nt even using it07:03
DivecksInteresting.07:05
DivecksWell I don't really use Ubuntu One (not until it's much more polished anyway), but I do like using Chromium. Perhaps that bug has been fixed in a newer build? Does update-manager -d pull the latest daily build or an alpha snapshot?07:06
DivecksI don't think drivers should be a problem, this is a System76 laptop, so I'm going to assume the hardware should work pretty nice with Linux in general.07:07
MarkDudeRight on which model?07:10
DivecksMarkDude, It's the new Lemur Ultrathin (lemu2)07:11
* MarkDude works for Zareason, they have some cool hardware also07:11
MarkDudeThat machine looks cool07:11
DivecksAhh but Zareason does things differently.07:11
MarkDudeEven tho they are competitors of ours, we like them07:12
DivecksOf ours?07:12
MarkDudeIts not a duel to the finish :)07:12
DivecksForgive me :D07:12
MarkDudeI am ZA's Community Manager07:12
DivecksAh right I totally missed your comment about that.07:12
MarkDudenp07:12
DivecksYeah, and System76 doesn't diss you either. I was talking to them on the phone before I got my laptop, and they spoke well of you guys.07:13
MarkDudeOf course, we have been pondering the best way for us to have an alliance07:13
DivecksYou guys should really "get out there" more. Like system76 has a bunch of ads and (I think) a bigger name in the Ubuntu world.07:14
DivecksEspecially with them being part of the Ubuntu Forums mainland.07:14
MarkDudeWhen we deal with the manufacturers, its good to be able to havea solid FOSS friendly deal07:14
DivecksRight.07:14
* MarkDude totally agrees. I am relatively new, we need more visibility07:15
MarkDudeWe have been working on closer relationships with those nice Canonical folks07:15
DivecksAnother thing I should add, is your website needs some work. Not saying that the System76 website is fantastic, far from it, and lots of it is out of date, but I almost dismissed your website as one of those "squatter-spam" sites.07:16
MarkDudelol07:16
DivecksThe layout feels very generic, if you know what I mean.07:16
MarkDudeI do07:16
DivecksAnd it's a shame though,07:16
Divecksbecause you have a really impressive selection of computers.07:16
MarkDudesucks is another words that could be used07:16
MarkDudeimho07:16
Divecks:D07:16
MarkDudeCan I use your quote to show Cathy & Earl?07:17
DivecksSo who's bigger, you or System76? You've got lots more laptops then them.07:17
DivecksNot sure who they are :P07:17
MarkDudeI dont know, they are much bigger as far as nationwide awareness07:17
MarkDudeWe are more known internationally07:18
MarkDudePlus they just offer Ubuntu, we offer quite few Distros in addition07:18
DivecksI suspected. And checking you and sys76 out on youtube, I was really shocked to find literally one video for each of you basically.07:18
DivecksOh I didn't know that.07:19
DivecksWell that would make sense since you guys do the hardware+linux vanilla support thing.07:19
MarkDudeBe prepared for some videos from us soon07:20
MarkDudeDid you get the SSD for your machine or  regular hard drive?07:21
Divecks:) I'd be really interested.07:21
DivecksMarkDude, For the longest time, I really thought I was going to get the SSD.07:22
DivecksBut I called them up and they said that I could upgrade it later should I choose to (and that's a major plus, SSDs are MAD expensive, and theirs are no exception). Plus, I honestly don't think i'll need the speed.07:22
DivecksI'm a 9th grader and I'll (in theory =D) mainly be using this laptop for school work and stuff.07:23
dartafter a update to usbmodeswitch yesterday, my card stopped working. The data card appears as a mass storage device but for only a second and then it disappears. Everything was working fine before the update.07:23
MarkDudeAt 1st I had one of them, I could reboot in less than 10 seconds07:23
DivecksI've got an iMac running Ubuntu that works very well, and that's what I do most of my "stuff" on.07:24
DivecksMarkDude, yeah, so I've heard. But really, the main slowdown on that machine, I think, is the processor/graphics. Even though it's dualcore AND hyperthreaded, with that new intel HD chipset, it still has like little lagspikes which I don't know if they are Ubuntu's problem or the gfx card.07:25
DivecksBut I can play Nexuiz suprisingly well, and I can stream 1080p video via my SSHFS/SaMBa cloud thingy.07:25
MarkDudeGood call, unless you need to do lots of reboots, the larger and more affordable drive is the best choice07:26
MarkDudeThe hyperthreading can cause some weird issues depending on what is happening with you ACPI07:27
* MarkDude has a small bug I have been trying to solve for one of our machines07:27
DivecksMarkDude, Right. But actually, in preparation for soon-to-be SSD, I set up a DynDNS account a bajillion servers on my iMac.. So I essentially save all my work on the laptop and stream all my media from my iMac. It's cool stuff, even though nautilus gives me 300 bugs/hr working with samba shares.07:27
DivecksMarkDude, Interesting. Any odds that Maverick will clean that up?07:28
MarkDudeAfter doing some research , I found that 76 is having a simlar issue07:28
DivecksHmm. What *exactly* is the issue? :P07:28
MarkDudeMeerkat solve most of everything07:28
DivecksAh that's good. The papercuts project for Meerkat is looking REALLY sharp.07:29
MarkDudeThe matching of C states with your system calls07:29
DivecksMarkDude, Oh it's that low level. And what would be the side-effects?07:30
MarkDudeC0 C2 C3 C4 can be not fully C0 in that Intel's chips can require *two* inputs to make it step down to proper state07:31
DivecksI see.07:31
MarkDudeUnder some conditions, it can make the the computer think it needs more power thn it does07:33
* MarkDude has not seen the power issue yet, that part is just a theory07:33
DivecksAnd linux has enough problems powermanaging as it is lol07:34
MarkDudeExactly, see if you can try other graphics options07:34
vishbooooot you crazy iso...! dont be afraid its a VM!07:35
DivecksMarkDude, What do you mean?07:35
MarkDudewhat driver is your machine using?07:36
DivecksMarkDude, I really don't know to be honest. It ships with System76's custom driver pack preinstalled, and nothing shows up under hardware drivers.07:36
MarkDudeOh, I forgot they use custom drivers07:37
MarkDudesudo lspci -vnn07:39
MarkDudeIf you use that in terminal near the top will be the driver used07:39
DivecksOkay so it finished installing and I've rebooted it.07:42
DivecksHowever,07:42
DivecksIt can't connect to my wireless interestingly enough07:42
Divecksthough it sees the name07:42
MarkDudeDo that lspci command07:42
MarkDudeSee what it says for your wireless driver07:43
MarkDudeWith your other machine google for that card & options07:43
* MarkDude guesses you have Intel based wireless07:44
DivecksI think so.07:44
MarkDudeand that your issues lie in its ability to not talk to your router07:44
Diveckscan't see anything in lspci really.07:44
Divecksperhaps a fresh install of maverick would be better?07:44
Divecksthough I'd lose the System76 driver.07:44
DivecksNot sure how much that's actually doing for me though.07:45
MarkDudeUh, without knowing if it is customized , I would not do that07:46
MarkDudetry it somewhere else if you can07:46
MarkDudeThat is part of the reason that my bosses decided to make sure everythng we sell is upstream compatible07:47
DivecksYup policykit DOES prevent reboot.07:47
DivecksHumph.07:47
MarkDudeBut, the downside to that is that 76 has their fingerprint reader working, unlike ours, they have a beta driver they did07:48
MarkDudeDo they have an IRC channel?07:48
DivecksDon't think so.07:48
DivecksBut they're active on facebook, twitter, and the forums.07:48
DivecksI think 10.04 is better to stick with for now.07:49
DivecksInteresting.07:50
DivecksA reboot fixed the wifi07:50
MarkDudeSo you have no connection issues with your machine before?07:50
DivecksNone before Maverick07:50
MarkDudeCheck again just using lspci07:50
Divecksand apparently none now.07:50
Divecksah i got it07:50
DivecksIntel corp Centrino Advanced-N 6200 (rev 35)07:51
Divecksthat;s actually an upgrade from the base config.07:51
Divecksfor like 10 bucks more, it's a much better card.07:51
MarkDudeGood call07:51
MarkDudeGood deal also07:52
DivecksUbuntu REALLY needs to work with Gnome upstream on Appearance Prefs.07:52
DivecksThere's some major leak or something in the Background tab07:52
Diveckstakes like07:52
Divecks10 seconds to query background.07:52
DivecksChrome seems to render multiple tabs OK07:53
Divecksbut i'm using a bleeding edge build from a PPA07:54
Divecks(which, by the way, is awesome.. nice GTK+ integration improvements)07:54
MarkDudeiwlagn is your driver07:56
Divecks1 sec, i'm switching to IRC on my laptop07:56
Divecksexit07:56
Divecksback07:57
MarkDudeThat iwlagn driver is weird07:59
DivecksApparently.08:00
MarkDudeI have not been happy with it08:00
MarkDudeI have it on my machine also08:00
DivecksBut its now working flawlessly.08:00
MarkDudeThats it , its not reproducible08:00
MarkDudeI put an Atheros card in mine to see if I had any errors, NONE08:01
MarkDudeProblem was the range was horrible08:01
MarkDudeWould work at less then half of the range08:02
MarkDudeLenovo machines are producing a similar issue with their wireless08:03
MarkDudeIf it happens again save your relevant logs08:03
MarkDudeEvery papercut like this could turn away potential new users, I dont like that, I should get in touch with 76 next week08:04
MarkDudeIm glad it works now. Try administration >> System Testing  and see what it says before you decide to go with Meerkat08:06
MarkDudeAnd remember that the Intel graphics driver can say that you have more resolutions available than are actually usable,08:09
dartusb-modeswitch has stopped working after an update yesterday and i cant downgrade....someone else facing this problem?08:25

DivecksMarkDude, No it's def.  not a problem like that. 10.04, maverick, or a livecd, the problem is still there. I know it can't be a software thing because it happens before Ubuntu even loads.17:59

DivecksMarkDude, Once the beta hits, I think I'm going to upgrade my main computer. You don't think the beta will have that policy kit problem, do you?18:03
MarkDudeThat may be , I still think anytime Linux gets even a token effort, it helps at least with *awareness*18:03
penguin42their kit gets used a lot for server sutff18:04

lontrahi, i have a couple of quick questions re: maverick. 1) is the intel driver 'better' in maverick than lucid? i occassionally get screen flickering. 2) are the daily ISOs installable. 3) has maverick been relatively stable? I'm use to running debian sid so i can handle instability but prefer having some stability20:31
jfilontra, maverick is alpha, so not stable20:33
lontrajfi: well yes i know that it's stable because it hasn't been released and is in development20:34
lontrajfi: i wonder if it'll be an improvement for me regardless because of the intel issues20:34
penguin42lontra: Still quite a few issues20:36
jfimaybe the best way to know it, is that you give it a try with a livecd, stability may depend on your hardware20:36
lontraok i'll take a look ... i've got everything backed up, i have some time, i can always install maverick, if it doesn't pan out well i can, reinstall lucid20:37
ali1234about that warning in the topic... is it the usual binary driver problems? what hardware does it apply to?20:37
jfiali1234, nvidia is broken (at least for me)20:37
ali1234nvidia always breaks :)20:37
jfiit works with a ABIIgnore in the xorg.conf but that's not very convenient:)20:38
jfilontra, if you can, I think that it is better to install maverick aside lucid and not instead. It will allow you to switch to lucid if there is an update which break too much the system. In alpha stage, there is often updates which break the system and is fixed in the coming hours/days20:43

Shadowwwhi there, on ubuntu 10.10 with latest drivers nvidia kernel breaks and complains about ABI revision. any way to fix this? maybe another nvidia driver?21:32
Shadowwwnvm, just noticed topic.21:36
ali1234apparently it works if you put ABIIgnore in xorg.conf21:37
ali1234but this happens every time with the new xorg21:37
ali1234takes a while for the binary only drivers to catch up21:37
urthmoveris there a way to dist-upgrade to maverick?  Is it smarter to do a fresh install though?21:38
ali1234urthmover: sudo update-manager -d usually does it21:39
ali1234the -d is for development version21:39
urthmoverahh  genius   thanks ali123421:39
ali1234can't tell you which way is best i didn't try it yet21:39
ali1234they're both likely to make your computer catch fire21:40
Shadowwwanother question.. vmware workstation 7.1.1's vmmon doesn't builds on kernel 2.6.35-19 complaining about 'error: implicit declaration of function iommu-unmap-range'21:40
Shadowwwis this known bug or it's a problem with my configuration?21:40
ali1234the vmware modules have to build against the kernel headers, they probably changed21:40
ali1234this often happens with 3rd party kernel modules21:40
Shadowwwso I have to wait for patch from vmware?21:41
ali1234there's probably already a patch on vmware forums or something21:41
ali1234yeah or go in and patch it yourself, it is probably quite easy21:41
ali1234they probably just renamed some function21:41
Shadowwwwill try, thanks :)21:41
ali1234that's what usually happens21:41
ali1234renamed in linux that is21:41
jfi<Shadowww> hi there, on ubuntu 10.10 with latest drivers nvidia kernel breaks and complains about ABI revision. any way to fix this? maybe another nvidia driver?21:41
jfiShadowww, add this in xorg.conf:21:41
jfiSection "ServerFlags"21:41
jfi    Option         "IgnoreABI" "True"21:41
jfiEndSection21:41
ali1234i have had this problem with virtualbox and nvidia dkms stuff when using newer kernels21:41
ali1234it was always quite easy to fix21:42
burnerhelp... my nvidia is all b0rked and i only get X through nv!!!!21:50

charlie-tcavish: isn't it showing whatever is selected as fonts in the browser?21:53
vishcharlie-tca: nah , actually lp fonts are hard-coded21:54
vishthey had something else earlier21:54
vishthere was a bug about it too.21:54
charlie-tcaThey are?21:54
vishyeah , they seem to have just switched to Ubuntu fonts..21:54
* vish looks for bugs21:55
vishbug*21:55
charlie-tcaI see UbuntuBeta on almost everything there21:55
BUGabundome what ?21:56
vishyeah , they seem to have just switched and the comments are using HUGE fonts! :/21:56
charlie-tcaBUGabundo: about the antenna - I am sorry, but I really needed it. Mine was stolen and I needed the replacement. Thanks for understanding... ;-)21:57
* BUGabundo /kicks charlie-tca where it hurts21:57
charlie-tcahmm, well, at least I can read the comments now...22:00
BUGabundowhat comments ?22:00
sebsebsebHi22:01
vishcharlie-tca: yay! its back to normal! :D22:02
charlie-tcaoh22:02
vishlooks like we caught them in the middle of testing ;p22:02
charlie-tcaSo I won't be able to read it easily again?22:02
charlie-tcaBUGabundo: launchpad22:03
BUGabundoahh22:05
vishcharlie-tca: odd! i cant find the bug about lp fonts being hard-coded! :(  sladen was the one who had filed it, but the beta fonts project name has changed and it seems lost.. :S22:13
kklimondahihi, the funny bug with google maps is a good example why including a 3rd party code you have no control over into your code is stupid..22:14
MarkDudepenguin42, is there a pastebin of the common problem?22:15
vishlp and its blackholes! , change a project name and all the closed bugs are lost :/22:15
penguin42MarkDude: Don't know, I'm not an Nvidia user - I just lurk here22:15
MarkDudeIts the X fix - correct?22:15
* vish points finger a penguin42 and yells stranger danger! :p22:16
vishat22:16
penguin42eep!22:16
* MarkDude is at a bug jam right now, I just wanted to share info with the folks here :)22:17
ZykoticK9am i alone in feeling the new default wallpaper is a fail?22:27
charlie-tcatoo early to tell.22:27
MarkDudeZykoticK9, its not really good, but the art deadlines are not yet22:28
BUGabundowhich one is it ?22:28
ZykoticK9MarkDude, well I hope that it's changed then ;)22:28
* MarkDude also22:28
charlie-tcaBUGabundo: purple with orange dots22:35
charlie-tcaNot the prettiest one I have seen, but if you like those colors ...22:36
ZykoticK9with the new Volume control have others lost the album art from Rhythmbox recently?22:47
jfiI have lost it even in rhythmbox since the upgrade to maverick22:50
ZykoticK9jfi, rhythmbox and even the ?popups have the album art - it's only missing from volume for me?  i don't see it as a bug for indicator-sound22:51
jfipopup?22:53
ZykoticK9jfi, the thing in the top right corner that appears?  sorry don't remember what they are called.22:54
jfihum22:54
jfiI have just a panel in bottom left corner of rythmn with cover art which is always the default one for all my soungs22:54
jfiwith lucid it works22:55
jfimaybe a configuration issue on my side, I have never search the reason22:55
BUGabundowhat was that parameter to place on boot/installer, when screen went black ?23:05
patdk-wkafter grub?23:05
patdk-wkthere are two ways, depends on what did it, linux kernel option, nomodeset23:06
patdk-wkor grub command, set gfxmode=text23:06
penguin42those are separate things23:06
penguin42and the set gfxmode one has just gone away in the latest grub/kernel/something23:06
BUGabundoyou know, all those users that couldn't boot the installer23:08
BUGabundojust got one, and I can't remmember how we did23:08
BUGabundolucid was soooo long ago23:08
penguin42oh, the set gfxmode is a maverick alpha only thing23:08
yofelnoapic? I can't really remember it either23:08
penguin42nomodeset as patdk-wk is always a good one; especially for Radeon HD5xxx series on Lucid23:09
patdk-wkoh, lucid, nomodeset23:09
BUGabundono yofel, not that one23:10
BUGabundook,23:10
BUGabundowill try nomodeset23:10
patdk-wkit fixs the old intel video card thing23:10
patdk-wkatleast for my older servers :)23:10
KruyKazeHow do i migrate my favorite PPA's from lucid to Mav?23:24
jjcmHey bestest of friends,23:25
KruyKazehey23:25
jjcmSo just did an upgrade to 10.10a3,23:25
jjcmusing nvidea drivers, which after reading online I've found that they fail if you bump up23:26
KruyKazebump up?23:26
jjcmI take it a switch to nouveau will fix it, but we'23:26
jjcmll see here in a sec23:27
KruyKazeI love nouveau23:27
jjcmKruyKaze: bump up to 10.1023:27
ZykoticK9jjcm, you need a 256 version kernel and to add a couple lines to xorg23:27
KruyKazeif you don't use 3D23:27
ZykoticK9jjcm, see bug 616023 for details23:27

jjcmGood to hear that I'm on the right track23:28
jjcmBut first, lunch and I gotta figure out why my computer smells like burning plastic now23:28
ZykoticK9jjcm, sorry didn't mean "kernel" above but "driver"23:29
jjcmZykoticK9: I figured23:29
charlie-tcahmm, last one I had smelled like burning plastic spit fire out the back to go with the smell23:29
jjcmcharlie-tca: Bonus points for style.23:30
KruyKazecan any one tell me how to easily use my ppa's on a new ubuntu rellease?23:32
charlie-tcaMaybe #launchpad would give more results on that?23:33
KruyKazeoh thanks23:33
Shadowwwhi there. What section of xorg.conf I should add Option "IgnoreABI" "True" to? Device, ServerFlags or ServerLayout?23:49

ali1234well, he'll be back if it doesn't work :)23:51
