EdgEyHello, can I expect problems if I download a kernel package for Natty and install it on Maverick?00:16
EdgEyI need 2.6.37 to support my DVB tuner00:16
rwwEdgEy: Possibly. It's completely unsupported.00:16
rwwi.e., if it breaks, #ubuntu (which is where you should be ;) won't help you fix it.00:16
EdgEyIf it breaks I'll just reinstall and make a natty/windows partition, just wondering if there's a decent chance of it working, or if dpkg will just wonder "hey, where's this newer version come from" and break dependencies00:17
EdgEyI used to install newer packages from debian unstable but never tried a kernel00:18
rwwEdgEy: I've used packages from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ on versions of Ubuntu they're not designed for and had it work, so yes, there's a reasonable chance of it working.00:18
yofelnot really, from all unsupported methods the mainline kernels are the most supported ones (and rww was faster :S)00:19
EdgEythanks, well I'll have a go00:19
rwwand yeah, I'd use that mainline link rather than pulling from natty.00:19
EdgEyWould be that I install ubuntu again and get bought a DVB stick for xmas a month later00:20
EdgEyheh00:20
Stevezaucan anyone point me to a website that explains how to configure ion2 based system with xorg.conf? Im using 11.04 (i need the latest kernel for drivers) and when running gfx intensive apps like mythtv my org process is going to 90-100% cpu usage.03:46
OheligQuestion!04:34
Oheligso, I just installed 11.04 alpha, knowing it wouldn't be fully supported, but I noticed 2 things immediately. 1: I don't know how to switch from Unity to GNOME, and 2: There is now a "proxy" user on the login screen04:34
Ohelig:(04:36
geeknikGood evening. Just did an apt-get upgrade (Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha) and towards the end, I see "start: Job failed to start" right after "Setting up apport (1.17-0ubuntu2) ..." Any ideas? =)04:47
geeknikI couldn't find anything in /var/log/messages, etc.04:47
KM0201Ohelig: on the sign in screen, i believe if you click "settings"... it should let you default to Gnome04:47
* KM0201 hates unity04:47
Oheligyeah, I was surprised when they listed Unity being an "upgrade"04:48
Oheligeven more when they made it default04:48
KM0201same here04:48
KM0201at least i don't have to install Gnome.. it's there by default.. but unity is a waste of space IMO... only useful on Netbooks... unless their goal is to dump the NBR edition04:48
OheligI don't even use it on my laptop04:49
KM0201Ohelig: i don't even use it on my netbook04:49
KM0201i hate that NBR04:49
KM0201whoever thought that up needs hit w/ a baseball bat04:49
Oheligare you implying there is a difference between laptop and netbook04:49
KM0201Ohelig: of course... my laptop has a 17in screen, my netbook has an 8in04:50
Oheligowait04:50
Oheligyeah, totally forgot they are04:50
Oheligsmall >_>04:50
KM0201lol04:51
Oheligbut did anyone else have the same problem with the proxy user?04:51
Ohelig>and 2: There is now a "proxy" user on the login screen04:52
Oheligit may have something to do with Tor04:52
KM0201Ohelig: i've not noticed the proxy user.. but i've not messed w/ 11.04 much.. just tossed it in vbox the other day04:53
Oheligare bug reports being taken yet?04:54
lolcatHello05:58

gnomefreakanyone using "Desktop Edition" still have the launcher bar on the left hand side of screen, mine is gone12:31
gnomefreakit seesm "Deskptop Edition" and "Classic Edition" are the same here. there used to be a llauncher panel on left side of screen but it is no longer there. and anyone confirm this12:37

BluesKajhey,.. no run command with alt+F2 ..anyone else have this?15:17
BluesKajok nm, solved ...this dumb K tolocks15:18
BluesKajKB autolocks15:18
AmaranthBluesKaj: if you're using unity you don't get alt-f2, that's a gnome-panel thing15:54
BluesKajAmaranth, no , I'm using a wireless KB on kde and I'd forgotten the darn thing autolocks15:56
coz_BluesKaj,  you can install gmrun which will effecively replace gnome-run or compile gnome-run.c  and place it in /usr/bin  and or /usr/share/bin16:03
BluesKajcoz_, thanks but I have it working16:05

AnAntHello, I heard that Unity will be used Natty's desktop edition, is that implemented in alpha1 ?17:41
charlie-tcaAnAnt: yes, but you should use the daily image to install, there are fewer updates then17:42
AnAntcharlie-tca: I just want to have a look, not to install it. So I think alpha1 should be fine (as long as unity is used there)17:43

magicianlordlet us talk of 110419:24
charlie-tcamagicianlord: at least this is the right channel for 11.0419:32
charlie-tcamagicianlord: Did you have something particular in mind?19:32
smoseris it known bug or intended behavior that I have to use shift-CapsLk in order to toggle CapLk19:54
smoserand also that my keyboard indicator light doesn't change19:54
charlie-tcasmoser: don't know. Could be hardware related too. (as specific to that model or manufacturer?)19:57
charlie-tcaWe have to wait for someone else to jump in on it...19:58
smoseri suppose, but thinkpad. common hardware, i think it just started today or yesterday. i suspect something in x along the way. i've not logged out and back in in  a while but have upgraded many times.19:58
Amaranthsmoser: you enabled capslock as your keyboard layout changer20:00
AmaranthI think it's the default so if you didn't get the debconf screen to set it that would happen20:01
Amaranthsmoser: iirc it's set in /etc/default/keyboard20:01
smoseri do remember seeing that, but just ignored it, and thoguht it was in an emacs context for some reason.20:01
smoserwhat should i dpkg-reconfigure ?20:02
Amaranthyou'll probably have XKBOPTIONS="grp:caps_toggle"20:02
AmaranthI dunno what package did it, that's the problem20:02
smoserXKBOPTIONS="grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll"20:02
Amaranthsmoser: yeah, change that to alt_caps_toggle instead of caps_toggle20:02
Amaranthsmoser: then alt-caps will change keyboard layout and caps lock will work like normal again20:02
Amaranthsmoser: It's going to be udev, console-setup, or xorg-xserver you need to reconfigure though20:03
smoserjust tried console-setup20:04
smoserdidn't show up20:04
Amaranthsmoser: the file says X uses it, udev needs to be restarted for it to take effect, and console-setup is mentioned20:04
AmaranthI know it was the reason my -12 kernel didn't upgrade correctly the first time, that dialog came up after it tried to setup the kernel and update-initramfs failed because /etc/default/keyboard didn't exist20:05
h00kThe keyboard indicator is being silly20:05
* Amaranth digs through logs of updated packages20:07
gesersmoser: could it be the new "keyboard-configuration" (or how the package is named)? I remember about getting asked about a toggle for "national" and "Latin mode"20:08
smosergrep -r "default/keyboard" /var/lib/dpkg/info shows: keyboard-configuration and console-setup20:09
smoserkeyboard-configuration was scary though... select my keyboard was first prompt, and there wasn't a default.20:09
smoserso i just canceled20:09
Amaranthsmoser: that's definitely it20:10
smoseryeah20:10
Amaranthperhaps it was run at a higher level so it didn't ask so many scary questions20:10
* Amaranth just went through it and guessed Apple Laptop for the keyboard20:11
AmaranthI fully expect everything to explode next boot20:11
AmaranthOr before then, control key isn't working anymore...20:11
Amaranth"This package maintains the keyboard preferences in /etc/default/keyboard"20:12
yofeldoes keyboard-configuration somehow changing my preferred keyboard layout from german to us english count as exploding?20:17
yofelwith dpkg-reconfigure I got the layout for KDM fixed, but my ttys are still in US :S20:17
genii-aroundyofel: Did you dpkg-reconfigure console-setup    ?20:22
=== Afwas_ is now known as Afwas
yofelah, no, keyboard-configuration, I'll do console-setup next20:22
qzioanyone but me that have  xserver-xorg-core "have been kept back:" ?20:30
yofelI had that a while ago, but not now, mirror up to date?20:33
Amaranthyofel: I think you also need to restart udev to get the changes to keyboard-configuration and console-setup to take effect20:42
yofelAmaranth: nah, I rebooted - worked :S20:42
yofel:D20:42
Amaranthyofel: well, that will certainly restart udev20:43

coz_well natty installed again...  I am too worried about updating it... does anyone know if the video issue of  booting to  "monitor out of range"  has been fixed?21:11
BluesKajcoz_, I had a couple of X failures after updates , but managed to use the "repair broken packages" with the recovery kernel mode , at least 3 times now21:22
coz_BluesKaj,  ah ok21:22
coz_BluesKaj,  I think i will just wait then...21:23
coz_BluesKaj,  if it goes as it did last time I cant get to recovery kernel because the system wont boot even to gub menu with the "monitor our of range"  happening :(21:24
coz_gimp wants to remove ubuntu-desktop?/ that's odd :)21:24
BluesKajcoz_, which graphics card are you using ?21:25
coz_BluesKaj,  on this system  a old 7600gt21:26
BluesKajcoz_, that's exactly what I use on my den-pc  , never got any out of range errors21:27
coz_BluesKaj,  well whats curious is when that happend  i swapped that card out for an older  6600gt and it booted fine...put the 7600gt back in and got the monitor out of range... the bug has been reported  several times  but  I dont want to go through that again :)21:29
gnomefreakgnome-shell is broken again :(21:29
genii-around"out of range" is usually your monitor complaining it can't do the resolution your card is trying21:30
=== lost is now known as Guest13757
coz_genii-around,   however the problem is with xserver  video packages  not the monitor21:30
rwwgnomefreak: it's not in natty at all right now, is it? or did they put it back in?21:30
gnomefreakrww: yes its there21:31
coz_why gnome-shell over unity?21:31
gnomefreakgnome-shell: Installed: (none) Candidate: 2.31.5-2ubuntu221:31
gnomefreakcoz_: unity isnt running here, it keeps timing out21:31
coz_ah ok21:31
coz_gnomefreak,  go to classic gnome  maybe?21:31
gnomefreaki can start it manually but i havent found a nice way to do that21:32
gnomefreakcoz_: im on classic21:32
coz_gnomefreak,  ah21:32
rwwgnomefreak: odd. LP doesn't think it is.21:32
gnomefreaki just went with policy21:32
gnomefreaklooks like the testing PPA has it working. ill be back in a bit21:33
gnomefreakgoing to start dinner than install it21:35
Guest13757how to update from unauthaurized sources please21:39
BluesKajcoz_, what does apt-cache policy nvidia-current , give you ... or can you get to a tty ?21:40
BluesKajGuest13757, ppas ?21:41
gnomefreak"out of range" try dropping to an older kernel, to install from unauthaurized try grabbing the key, but we really discourage people from doing that since it can mess up your system if you are not careful21:43
Guest13757it asks for untrusted packkages21:43
* gnomefreak kind of back21:43
gnomefreakgrab the key21:43
gnomefreakkeep in mind we do not support using untrusted sources21:44
gnomefreakuntrusted by Ubuntu not by user21:44
BluesKajeven medibuntu is commented out atm :)21:45
gnomefreakmediubuntu does not have nattty packages and not sure if they will at this point. repos are open but empty21:46
Guest13757well i could not figure out what to toggle or to fetch the right key21:46
gnomefreakthan it is a good idea not to use them however:21:47
gnomefreakgpg --recv 37B19B80 && gpg --export -a 37B19B80 | sudo apt-key add -      replace the #s with the right ones21:47
gnomefreakand yes use the - at the end21:47
