MaximLevitskyePirat: if 3D is broken, you can just remove the compiz for now00:27
ePiratMaximLevitsky: how i do this?00:29
MaximLevitskyePirat: the easist way is to rename the compiz binary00:29

lukusMaximLevitsky, yep - even though updates work .. the counter isn't reset02:20
MaximLevitskylukus: stuff like that is what usualy makes me mad at ubuntu. go figure why something like that fails....02:21
MaximLevitskylukus: really don't know02:21
MaximLevitskyLike now in 10.10 search doesn't work in nautilus if runs as root02:22
MaximLevitskygo figure why...02:22
lukusMaximLevitsky, well - usually I don't have this kind of problem .. I guess I can't be so angry as we're in beta02:22
MaximLevitskylukus: its not really a beta anymore02:23
MaximLevitskywe got something like 17 days till release02:23
lukusi'm not sure if that's true02:23
MaximLevitskydon't expect much fixes02:23
lukusthere are a lot of updates - updates almost every couple of hours02:23
lukusI don't think yr necessarily corrrect02:24
MaximLevitskyIt usually takes few versions or few days of banging the head against the wall for a bug to be fixed...02:24
MaximLevitskyNobody is to blame BTW02:25
MaximLevitskyits just lack of testers and developers02:25

bobthemilkmanThat site seems to be the exact thing I have... I'm gonna try that.12:01

g0bl1nhi, I want to sync my new _empty_ rhythmbox library with my iPod. That is, I want to transfer from the iPod to the rhythmbox library. Does Rhythmbox provide this ? The syncing it is proposing me, it to _erase_ the iPod (probably since the library is empty in the laptop)12:06
bobthemilkmanI did the edits in /etc/modprobe.d/ and then did sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-(latest(-generic12:06
gnomefreakbobthemilkman: im not sure but looks like the device is the issue. it looks similar to the problem i had with broken usb stick12:14
bobthemilkmanI lost my previous mircoSD card, so I haven't used the device in a while.  The microSD card itself works fine on my other machine.12:14
bobthemilkmanI guess I'll try rebooting to see if that fixes it (it did last time o.O)12:14
gnomefreakg0bl1n: i havent tried on 10.10 yet. ive been meaning to just havent found the time to find out12:15
g0bl1ngnomefreak, my question is, does rhythmbox sync both ways ?12:15
gnomefreakg0bl1n: havent tried it but i would think it does12:16
g0bl1ngnomefreak, the preview window, shows a before/after sync. And the after sync shows me an empty iPod :-/12:17
gnomefreakg0bl1n: im not seeing it12:19
gnomefreaki guess it doesnt12:19
g0bl1ngnomefreak, for me to see the  sync preview again, had to delete the /home/.../.local/rhythmbox/sync/ipod_file12:19
g0bl1nthen, connect the iPod, and press the Sync button12:20
g0bl1nbut I'll drag all the files into the library and see what happens :-)12:20
vbgunzI only downloaded the linux-headers, image, etc to 2.6.35-22 (from maverick repo and mainline) and both kernels have a serious problem hibernating12:21
gnomefreakvbgunz: using Lucid?12:22
vbgunzYes, I am on Lucid, both maverick patched kernel and the mainline kernel of 2.6.35 have problems hibernating12:22
gnomefreakvbgunz: Lucid should have the maverick kernel in its archives12:23
gnomefreakwe dont support using 10.10 kernel on Lucid for good reasons12:24
vbgunzI needed a kernel greater than or equal to 2.6.33 for TRIM support. it really helps. my ext4 fs partition increased in read by 60MB12:24
vbgunzbut I just noticed this behavior with both available kernels12:24
vbgunzI searched and it seemed fedora users are running into it too with this version12:25
gnomefreakvbgunz: than upgrade or build it yourself, but doing what you are you can expect a lot of problems12:25
vbgunzI can wait for maverick but I just want to know if this is a known problem or if it isn't even on the radar12:25
bobthemilkmanOkay, well, I just plugged it into my other computer and did sshfs 172.20.1.131:/media/6438-6664 /mnt/network, and it's just as good, I suppse.12:31
vbgunzif it's any consolation, the 2.6.36rc4 kernel doesn't have hibernation problems on lucid.12:47

nemofor multiple reasons17:41
nemo1) launchpad erroring on submission as it loves to do without any way to hit back and see the form you just typed in17:41
nemo2) ubuntu setting chrome as my default browser even though I ran update-alternatives w/ x-www-browser of firefox, this means that my form saving plugin was not active when using the bug reporter17:42
nemo(hm, that or the bug reporter ignored that x-www-browser...)17:42

MaximLevitskyand 'About ubuntu' shows garbage in menus17:57
MaximLevitskyDidn't report the above yet17:57
charlie-tcathe 'About ubuntu' garbage is reported. It is a bug in yelp translations18:06
charlie-tcaAs far as IE8 not working correctly, that is really a microsoft bug. They refuse to use standards.18:07
MaximLevitskyOne other thing that I really hate is new widget theme. Nothing personal, but its first time that happens to me. I really can't get used to it18:08
MaximLevitskyWhy can't you have a package for each ubuntu version, so I could revert back to 10.0418:08

MaximLevitskynemo: look at /etc/pulse/client.conf18:24
nemonow, this laptop is new to ubuntu, but if I killall pulseaudio in 10.10 on this laptop, everything in gnome freezes up and uses 100% of CPU until I restart X18:24
nemothat cannot be ideal behaviour18:24
MaximLevitskynemo: don't know how to fix this18:25

nemobut. I guess I don't see why you'd risk it23:18
nemon/m23:18
charlie-tcanemo: really23:18
nemocharlie-tca: why the need to uninstall, why not overwrite?23:19
charlie-tcaEven reinstalling 32bit with the same /home can cause issues, since 64bit configuration files will not always work in 32bit installs23:19
charlie-tcaI wouldn't uninstall, I would do a fresh installation with the 32bit image23:20
Jordan_Ucharlie-tca: Configuration files are almost always (if not always) text based, and almost all (if not all) applications should need no 64 bit specific preferences. So using a "32 bit" /home with a 64 bit system should be fine.23:30
charlie-tcaIt failed when I tried it. I could be wrong, but removing the configuration files from /home made it work for me.23:31

charlie-tcaif you open it in a new tab, it doesn't lose the main page23:48
nemothat wasn't the problem, problem was finding the dang form23:48
charlie-tcaI just right-click "report a bug" and open it in a new tab23:49
nemothey don't make it easy23:49
nemoI choose "report a bug" and it went to a bunch of instructions23:49
Jordan_Unemo: It's intentional to encourage use of apport (AFAIK). I don't like it either as I often file bug reports where I know the apport info isn't usefull (like when I attatch a patch to fix said bug).23:49
nemoJordan_U: and even less use when apport is completely nonfunctional23:49

nemoyofel: yes. I did say that, didn't I23:50
charlie-tcaThat's why I use the bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ page. The "Report a bug" on it goes right to the bug reporting form23:50

nemocharlie-tca: sure. aaaaand, since it has been broken for over a week now23:51
nemoand presumably they are trying to still get feedback from users23:51
charlie-tcaThat's why we have ways to file direct bugs23:52
nemoperhaps the direct link should be at the top of the page23:52
yofelIMHO the "File a bug" link on launchpad.net/ubuntu is obivous enough, as it's on the top and red23:52
nemoyou know, just for now23:52
nemoyofel: yeah. that's the one I clicked on23:52
nemoand then read through to find the real link23:52
nemohm. actually has been broken for almost 2 weeks now23:52
nemoReported by Robert Collins on 2010-09-1423:53
charlie-tcahmm, maybe I am slipping on filing bugs again then. I did not know that.23:54
yofelI know that the current process is inconvenient, but we had a reason to put it there too, and is it really asking too much that you spend 2 minutes on reading the instructions?23:54
yofeland I reported 2 bugs fine last week, no large attachements though23:54
nemoyofel: ... my point is. your average user just knows the system is failing. maybe they manage to find the page for bug reporting.23:54
nemoyofel: at that point, a note on the current situation could be helpful23:54
nemoand a link to what process they should use instead23:55
nemoyofel: the first time I tried, resubmitting several dozen times it eventually worked23:55
nemoyofel: this time, I tried resubmitting for hours without success, and finally decided I was probably doing a denial of service attack against launchpad23:55
yofelright, but not every apport report will contain large attachments, and I haven't yet seen enough complaints about this yet that changing the wiki would be justified IMHO. Sure, it's a problem, but apport probably works fine in >90% of reports.23:57
nemowell.23:58
