nemobug #54676900:02
ubottuLaunchpad bug 546769 in alsa-driver (Ubuntu) "no sound with Realtek ALC269 - on Sony Vaio VPCEB1S1E" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/54676900:02
nemoHDA Analyzer suggestion by Pistolpete worked perfectly00:02
nemointeresting that he reported the solution 4½ months ago00:03
yofelwell, the kernel team follows a strict process, and nobody bothered to run apport-collect, which they maybe filter for automatically00:05
nemoperhaps people *tried* running apport-collect :-p00:06
nemoaaaanyway. works for me. life is good00:06
nemothat one was really irritating me00:06
nemoshame patching kernel is not quite as convenient under ubuntu as in source based distros like gentoo.  I'd rather stick to the distro sources.00:06
nemoah well, ubuntu still has more advantages than disadvantages00:06
yofelapport-collect will add one attachment at a time, not 20 at once, so it shouldn't be affected by that timeout bug00:07
cjae_Hi anyone running kubuntu meerkat successfully, like logout works and it doesnt freeze on the kubuntu kernel splash screen and such?00:07
yofelcjae_: works fine here (64bit, nvidia card), well, at least it worked the last time I tried it 2 days ago00:08
cjae_yofel: alright thanks, have ati card but should be ok00:10
cjae_yofel: do you know if its beta 1 or 2 yet?00:14
nemoBleah.  I've given up on update-manager to do updates. uses that stupid polkit authentication that fails in ssh -Y, in nomachine and (just recently discovered this) in fingerprint-gui00:20
nemoSynaptic Package Manager may not be as pretty, but at least it isn't crippled00:20
yofelthere is no beta2, the rc is due on the 30th. If you have all updates installed you don't have to bother with that anyway, as you're running the most up-to-date system that there is00:20
nemoyofel: yow. you guys are already approaching RC. man, I was really hoping we could get our game release together before that. clearly not gonna happen. we're all slackers00:21
nemowhiiiich means more begging to get into the next release :)00:21
nemooh. this is driving me a bit bonkers00:26
nemoevery time I open apport, it fires up google chrome00:26
nemoI don't want it to fire up google chrome. all my addons are in firefox, all my settings...00:26
nemoI'd rather not uninstall google chrome since I use it for browser testing.  but is there any way to get it to not do that?00:27
nemoI already ran update-alternatives x-www-browser00:27
nemoand confirmed that a link in nautilus opened in firefox...00:27
yofelI forgot how apport opened browsers, but iirc it was something like... 1) some gconf key, if fails 2) gnome-open, if fails 3) x-www-browser - well, something like that00:28
* nemo fires up gconf editor00:29
nemooh. and here's an odd one.  I right clicked, chose "create launcher", chose "link" in it, and entered http://google.com as the link00:30
nemo('cause I couldn't remember how to make a URL shortcut on the desktop for testing default browser)00:30
nemodoubleclicking on it in nautilus completely hangs nautilus for about a minute00:30
nemoafter which time it opens the link in firefox and does any other operations you'd tried to do in the interim00:30
nemono hits for chrom in gconf00:31
nemolet's try gnome-open00:31
nemoyep. gnome-open calls chrome. damn00:32
cjae_wow does having ubuntu-desktop installed in kubuntu 10.04 break alot of things!00:32
cjae_phonon + pulse ouch!00:33
nemohm. maybe it is because update-alternatives reports chrome as having a higher priority00:34
yofelphonon + pulse works fine so far here..00:34
cjae_beta?00:34
yofelwell, once I told phonon to actually use pulse instead of my HDMI port -.-00:34
yofelcjae_: current00:34
cjae_ok well I did too, and now my volume upom booting kde or gnome is always muted00:35
yofelI heard about the muted on boot issue for gnome, works fine in KDE so far though00:36
cjae_and the volume dial only hits 5 10 14 and 50 the rest of the slider doesnt do too much00:36
* yofel wonders if he's settings are so messed up that his pc can't even properly break things anymore...00:36
yofels/he's/his/00:36
cjae_virtualbox gtk wont load at all00:37
nemohuh. no way to adjust the priorities w/o reinstalling the links and potentially screwing it up in my ignorance00:37
cjae_but virtual box ose will00:38
cjae_yofel: so the 10.10 kde is still in alpha 3?00:40
nemogah. this priority mechanism is ridiculous. chromium literally has a bug for "putting its priority higher than other browsers"00:41
nemoand. if I set browser X as default,  I shouldn't have to fight w/ the system to get gnome-url to use it00:41
yofelhm? no, kubuntu 10.10 has it's beta released, it's just that I'm running a system with all updates installed, and that doesn't have anything to do with the beta snapshot00:41
nemoah-hah. update-alternatives man page does not (that I can see) say where it keeps its config, but there is no hiding from strace00:42
nemoWTH. push google chrome's priority down and gnome-url STILL opens it :(00:44
yofelalternatives configuration is in /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives   (WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH)00:44
yofelwell, ignore the warning if you know what you're doing or don't mind the consequences00:45
nemoyofel: already changed it00:45
nemoyofel: thus my confusion. had reduced chrome from 120 to 1200:45
nemoshows up correctly in --query00:45
nemobut gnome-url still opens it00:45

coreyanyone care to help me with pigin when they get a chance?00:48
yofelcorey: for starters: what's the problem? we won't know if we can help if you don't tell us..00:50
coreyi want to skin pidgin but cant figure out how to do it00:51
coreyi see where in properties it says themes but i have none, cant find any online, and mine didnt come with any axtras even though i downloaded themes from package manager00:51
nemoyep. gnome-open is posessed of the devil00:52
coreyand im also having a problem with my cursor skipin when i type and im sure its not my mouse because i turned it off and it still skips00:52
cjae_so I see that the kubuntu 10.10 senses which desktop should be deployed (plasma-desktop or plasma-netbook) is this the case with the 64 version too! since most netbooks are 32 bit00:52
cjae_my netbook is 64 bit so this option would be good for both my computers00:53
yofelhm.. there are a bunch of things that are checked to make netbook only start when appropriate, but I don't remember it checking architecture00:54
yofelcould have changed since I last looked at it though00:55
nemodesktop/gnome/url-handlers was the problem. and somehow a search on "chrom" did not turn it up in gconf. also I'd swear I did not choose "set as default browser" - oh well. all better00:56
nemolooks like sudo newgrp dropping you to a root shell is a known issue, and the way to avoid it is never ever ever let non-admins run sudo newgrp00:59

ZykoticK9assuming cli applications have an exception to the rules layed out in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy will "ls" be defaulting to base 10 in maverick?03:07

Drooling_SheepI just updated my maverick 32-bit box after a few days of it being off and foomatic-db is failing to install05:07
Drooling_Sheephere is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/pZApTshc05:07

rockhopperHi, last time i downloaded the 10.10 maverick beta, I couldn't boot on my netbook. I tried both UNR, the desktop edition.13:34
bazhangsounds like a corrupt iso or bad burn13:34
rockhopperBut, when i update from the update-manager, I was able to boot from the old kernel, but not the new kernel13:35
rockhopperbazhang, I tried it with a usb key.13:35
bazhangrockhopper, using what to write13:35
rockhopperbazhang, I used the bootable usb app on the ubuntu os as well as the bootable usb application for the windows os given in the ubuntu.com/netbook webpage13:37
bazhangrockhopper, unetbootin?13:37
rockhopperNo, the universal usb installer, i selected the UNR 10.04 for it.13:40
rockhopperas there was no 10.10 option in it bazhang13:40
bazhangrockhopper, should work anyway, if you got the iso.13:40
rockhopperBut, I couldn't boot after updating to 10.10 from the update-manager of 10.04 UNR.13:41
rockhopperbazhang, I couldn't boot from the live-usb13:42
bazhangrockhopper, this sounds like two separate issues13:42
rockhopperIt gives me the options for booting live, installing on the HDD and etc.13:42
bazhangwhat does update-manager have to do with usb installer13:42
rockhopperI can install, but not even boot live.13:43
rockhopperIt just gives me a blinking cursor and nothing happens.13:43
bazhangnot clear what you  mean; two separate issues13:43
rockhopperbazhang, I tried updating to 10.10 from 10.0413:44
rockhopperand the other time, i tried installing the 10.10 from the beta iso from the testing page.13:44
bazhangrockhopper, so currently nothing bootable on that computer?13:45
rockhopperIn both the ways, I couldnt boot.13:45
rockhopperBut when i updated from the 10.04 to 10.10, i was able to boot by selecting the 2.6.32-24 kernel.13:46
rockhopperWhen i try booting from the new 2.6.32-35 i think, I couldn't boot.13:46
rockhopperbazhang, maverick's not bootable.13:48
rockhopperSo, i had to reinstall 10.04 UNR again.13:48
bazhangrockhopper, sounds like a corrupt iso or bad "burn"13:48
bazhangmd5 the iso and try again13:48

crevoxHello, I'm a beginner and I was wondering, once 10.10 is out should I upgrade or still use 10.0414:22
crevoxWhat differences are there between 10.10 and 10.04?14:22
EvilPhoenixcrevox:  i recommend sticking with the LTS14:23
coafcvcrevox: if you want long term support, you'd stick with 10.0414:23
EvilPhoenixwhat coafcv said14:24
crevoxSo I'll keep the 10.04 then.14:24
crevoxWhat bothers me is that I have BIG problems with ati drivers.14:24
coafcvcrevox: which card and what drivers are you using?14:24
crevoxI thought there will be an update that will fix my issue.14:24
crevoxhd4330 on a laptop.14:24
crevoxThose from the repositories...hardware manager.14:25
crevoxI tried the ones from the ati website, and still the same.14:25
coafcvhave you tried using the radeon drivers?14:25
coafcvcrevox: those two are the same.14:25
coafcvcrevox: what are the "BIG" problems you are talking about?14:25
crevoxVideo lag on heroes of newerth.14:25
crevoxI have 4 gb, t4300 intel hd4330 ati..14:26
crevoxAnd I can't play this game :|14:26
BajKso, finally removed pulseaudio from 10.10 and now everything's fine again :914:26
crevoxI have major lagspikes...14:26
crevoxVideo lagspikes14:26
crevoxNot lag as in latency...14:26
BajKdon't know who thought it was a good idea implementing pulseaudio in Kubuntu 10.10 by default, it still sucks as it did in 10.0414:26
coafcvcrevox: you might want to try the open-source radeon drivers. I used the official ATI drivers and my computer froze every now and then. then I uninstalled them and used the radeon driver. it works flawlessly ever since.14:26
robin0800BajK: works fine here14:27
crevoxcoafcv,  Open source drivers only provide 2d acceleration for my card.14:27
coafcvcrevox: oh :( they do provide 3d acceleration for my ati card.14:28
crevoxcoafcv, open source drivers can't provide 3d acceleration on my card, I have checked.14:28
BajKrobin0800: can you choose between multiple/different playback devices? Can you set channels differntially?14:28
crevoxcoafcv, desktop card ?14:28
coafcvcrevox: ATI HD 485014:28
BajKrobin0800: i cannot. fonon just recognizes "Pulseaudio server" and the only audio device displayed in kmix is "Default Audio Device"14:28
crevoxcoafcv,  Laptop or desktop?14:28
coafcvcrevox: Desktop.14:29
crevox:)14:29
coafcvcrevox: sorry, I'm out of ideas then :(14:29
crevoxcoafcv,  Thanks anyway. Only idea is to make them release their source code..14:29
crevoxI'm sick of them...14:29
robin0800BajK: in kde the pulse audio server is not installed by default14:29
BajKrobin0800: it is in 10.1014:30
crevox:D14:30
coafcvcrevox: they are releasing some specs for a while now, I heard.14:30
coafcvcrevox: but your card seems to be too old?14:30
crevoxcoafcv,  They'll better release the drivers or there will be some *nerd rage*14:30
crevoxcoafcv,  My card is not old. :)14:30
crevoxIt's a laptop card.14:30

howlymowly error in Version string '3.1.6-59338_Ubuntu_karmic': invalid character in revision number15:08
Ejdesgaardhi15:23
charlie-tcahowlymowly: you have something outdated in sources.list? maybe a ppa or something? VBox in maverick should be 3.215:25
Ejdesgaardi have installed 10.10 and evolution-mapi... In general it works fine, i have the calender and i can recieve e-mails from everyone. I can send e-mails to external addresses, but not to our local.tld.15:25
howlymowlycharlie-tca: yeah I upgraded from lucid to maverick..  hmm. maybe I should try to "reseet my sources.lis..15:26
howlymowly*sources.list15:26
Ejdesgaarddo you guys think it's a bug locally or some odd setup on our exchange 2007 server?15:26
charlie-tcaTake a look at your sources. See if there is something in there for virtualbox, either from sun/oracle or ppa15:27
howlymowlycharlie-tca: no luck :(15:30
howlymowlyi have now only the two default entries from maverick in my sources.list  but nothing else  but after apt-get update and  upgrade the error still remains15:31
blue_annaI get this error trying to upgrade with the update manager: W:Failed to fetch http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/maverick/Release  Unable to find expected entry  partner/binary-powerpc/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?), E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.15:42
charlie-tcahmm, check synaptic package manager for the version of virtualbox. If it is 3.1, remove and reinstall. If you don't purge, it will work without making any changes to anything15:43
jpdsblue_anna: Why are you looking for partner on ports?15:43
jpdsblue_anna: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/maverick/Release doesn't have any mention of partner/ .15:44
blue_annaI'm not particularly doing that. I'm just clicking upgrade after running the command15:44
blue_anna(LANG=C && update-manager -d)15:44
blue_annajpds, its part of the upgrade script, I suppose15:46
jpdsHmm.15:48
blue_annayes indeed15:54
blue_annajpds, any suggestions for how to work around this problem with the update-manager install script itself being screwed up?15:54
jpdsblue_anna: Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file?15:57
blue_annajpds, sure, thank you.15:58
blue_annajpds, http://nopaste.dk/p246415:59
jpdsblue_anna: Comment out lines 47 and 48 and try again.15:59
howlymowlyalright, charlie-tca  a simpl "sudo dpkg --purge virtualbox-3.1 helped with that error :)16:00
charlie-tcaheh16:00
blue_annawoohoo!16:02
blue_annathank you jpds16:02

nOStahlhi guys16:07

nOStahlthis a known issue?16:08
howlymowlysoo..  another apt-get related problem on maverick:   when trying to upgrade the package "plasma-widget-addons" i get the error:   dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/plasma-widgets-addons_4%3a4.5.1-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb (--unpack):16:12
howlymowly trying to overwrite '/usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet-systemloadviewer.desktop', which is also in package plasma-widget-system-status 0.6-0ubuntu116:12
howlymowlyany idea about this?16:12
howlymowlyor do i just have to wait until a non-broken package is released?16:12
Typherm, what happened to Software Sources?16:13
charlie-tcahowlymowly: try this - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingInstallationIssues#package%20is%20already%20installed%20and%20configured16:14
charlie-tcaTyph: it went away16:14
volodyaok, I must have got the most stupid question ever, but -- is it normal to have load average of 2.0 on a machine that does absolutely nothing?16:15
charlie-tcaYou can see them now in Synaptic Package Manager16:15
Typhcharlie-tca: I can see that.16:15
Typher16:15
Typhcharlie-t: I can see that.16:15
charlie-tcaIt was a duplicate type app; not needed16:15
Typhit appears to be the same app. Just removed from the menu.16:16
charlie-tcasorry, Typh. some people ask things like that to see if they are alone in missing it.16:16
* Typh adds it back to menu16:17
Typhthanks :)16:17
charlie-tcano problem16:17
volodyaoh, I've got a dozen of kded4 process in <defunct> state. Anybody happens to know what that means?16:27
ulisse'lo guys16:30
ulissecan somebody tell me what's the state of fglrx drivers in maverick? I'd like to upgrade, but my card sucks with free drivers...16:31
nOStahlso whats this gnome shell I keep hearing about16:32
ulissenOStahl: gnome-shell is a new GNOME interface, it's ubercool and it is sustantially why I'm willing to upgrade :)16:33
ulissesadly it doesn't compile smoothly on 10.0416:33
ulissenOStahl: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=147624116:33
nOStahlwhats it do different16:34
ulissewell, basically it organizes stuff in a way it won't bug you when not needed16:36
ulisseit has a hidden panel that you call out bi clicking on "activities" on top left, from where you run programm, access places etc16:37
ulisseand when in that mode, you can add/remove workspaces and organize stuff on them16:37
ulisseI find it very usable, but you have to try it yourself to decide if it is for you16:38
ulissenOStahl: what distro/version are you running?16:38
nOStahl10.0416:38
nOStahlnetbook remix16:38
ulisseuhm, on 10.04 gnome-shell is broken atm16:39
ulisseif you were on 10.10 you could easily give it a spin, justi apt-get it and run "gnome-shell --replace"16:39
nOStahlI downloaded daily build this morning of maverick meerkat but the installer drops out to a console before booting into live.16:39
nOStahlwatching youtube vid's right now, looks like it just shows you all your virtual desktops when you want to see everything thats running?16:40
nOStahlis it live view?16:40
nOStahlie if you were watching a movie on virtual desktop 316:41
ulisseyep, it should continue to play16:41
nOStahlneato16:41
nOStahli'll be back later I gotta run and do a delivery.16:41
ulissek, bye16:41
nOStahlso how's maverick meerkat?17:41
charlie-tcaGreat!17:44
nOStahlany ground breaking changes?17:45
Rajasunn0Stahl: Running it for 3 weeks now, there are a few hiccups with some apps (e.g. deluge freezing on quit) but on the whole stable enough for my needs. Some of the repos like medibuntu & getdeb aren't ready for maverick yet though.17:45
Rajasunand no sopcast-player too :(17:46
nOStahlim not sure I like the new netbook thing17:46
cromagi'm trying to upgrade from lucid to mav. but i get the "can not calculate...." error. I'm really not sure what to do in this case17:46
nOStahli'd like to talk to someone about /boot partitions17:47
charlie-tcaIs there a "do it anyway" button?17:47
nOStahli've never had one in the past... what does a boot partition do for me.17:47
plovsnOStahl: it is secure and usually your first partition, on some boxes you'll have boot-problems if the kernel is not located at the beginning of the drive17:49
nOStahlI have an ssd that Im installing on.17:49
nOStahli've always just mount it as /17:49
nOStahland my second ssd /home17:49
charlie-tcassd can still have partitions17:49
nOStahlhow big should the /boot be17:50
plovsyou can look at yor current boot: du -hs /boot17:51
charlie-tcarecommendation is normally 100MB, but keep in mind, if there are too many kernel updates, it will run out of room17:52
IdleOnemy /boot is 40M17:54
RajasunNever ever had a separate /boot partition in my 8 years of using any distro for a desktop. Never saw the need for it, not then, not now.17:57
yofelyou need one currently if you want to use btrfs for root, and it does have a few use cases, not for the general user though18:00
plovsif your comp is new(ish) and you don't want anything fancy (read-only fs, btrfs etc) then it is just complicating things18:01
RajasunAs it stands, and as as far as I recall, btrfs ain't default in Maverick, will consider having a separate /boot if that is indeed what it is required and if and when I decide to switch to btrfs. Anybody knows if nilfs requires a separate /boot partition too?18:04
vishhmm , is there no conky for maverick?18:06
plovsRajasun: anything that grub doesn't understand needs a seperate boot, and ext2 for boot is super-fast18:07
cromagi'm trying to upgrade from lucid to mav. but i get the "can not calculate...." error. I'm really not sure what to do in this case ...18:07
cromagi have universe enabled18:08
cromagbut it seems xorg is making it hard to upgrade18:08
Rajasunplovs: K. Not been updating myself with the latest development with grub so hmmm18:09
charlie-tcaI am running conky on maverick18:11
charlie-tcavish: conky is in universe18:12
vishdoh! hehe been a while since i did a full reinstall :)18:12
charlie-tcaMight have changed the name to conky-all now though18:12

Stormx2Hi all. I can't get nautilus to open. it manages my desktop fine, but when I select something from "places" a file browser doesn't come up. Running from terminal doesn't help - the process just returns straight away23:09
gerzelQ: I downloaded 10.10beta last night and attempted to install it today.  During the boot process it landed in a busybox console and seemed to be complaining that it was unable to mount something called loop4.  Sorry but I didn't write down the exact wording and have forgotten.  Are there any known issues/workaround with the 10.10b amd64 cd I should know about?23:13
bjsnidergerzel, what did you download, precisely?23:16
EvilPhoenixsounds like some kind of wubi thing... o.o23:17
gerzelbjsnider: 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD from http://ftp.wayne.edu/linux_distributions/ubuntu//10.10/  on a Core2 Quad system.23:17
bjsnider!daily23:18
ubottuDaily builds of the CD images of the current development version of Ubuntu are available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ and http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/23:18
bjsnidergrab that instead23:18
gerzelok.  Thanks.  I'll do that.23:18
gerzelDoes it make a difference which I grab?23:19
bjsnidergrab the amd64 desktop image23:19
bjsnider.iso in other words23:19
gerzelI meant which of the two sites I use.  I'm in North Carolina if that makes any difference(if one is particularly close by, say over at UNC.23:20
bjsnidercloser the better23:20
Jordan_Ugerzel: Did you install using wubi ("within windows")?23:24
gerzelJordan_U.: No I did not.  Booted the computer from the cd directly.23:25
Jordan_Ugerzel: You won't have to download as much if you use zsync, "zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/maverick-desktop-amd64.iso -i /path/to/beta.iso"23:26
BUGabundo+123:26
gerzelJordan_U: ah thank you.  I'll try that.23:27
Jordan_Ugerzel: It was the CD that failed to boot not the installed system, correct?23:27
Jordan_Ugerzel: You're welcome.23:27
gerzelJordan_U: I was unable to get the CD fully booted yes.  The live system did not come up and it ended in a session.23:28
gerzeler terminal session.23:28
bjsniderwell the beta you downloaded is 3 weeks old and has hundreds of old bugs, and you also could have a corrupt download23:30
gerzelok23:31
Jordan_UThat's another thing I like about zsync, it automatically checks the md5sum and if you did have a corrupt download previously it will redownload just those corrupt parts.23:31
gerzelok23:32
gerzelJordan_U: I'd think it would have to, otherwise it would have to download all the file to check for different bits.23:40
