hvis it true that you can no longer have two or more cities in the date/time indicator applet?01:40
hvor I am missing something?01:40
coz_hv,   I am not s ure on natty01:51
rmcbridethe original tz behavior should wind up back in the time indicator by release. It is not there now however.01:54
rmcbrideI believe it's being redesigned01:54

dw1hello - looking for some Windows 7 Ubuntu 10.4 dual boot install advice. Anyone here can help?04:36
dw1Windows 7 is already installed. I want to "install them side by side" without changing the size of any existing partitions, so I am torn between "install them side by side......" and "use the largest continuous free space"04:37
dw1I want to do exactly both of these things, but I am asked to choose between them (or go manual).04:37
dw1Which is preferred?04:38
cozziemotodw1,  I would go with  install side by side04:40
cozziemotodw1,  you should then be givine a slider to resize partition if you like for ubuntu04:40
cozziemoto"given"04:41
Volkodavgo manual and do partitions as you like04:41
dw1cozziemoto: OK, Thanks, advice noted04:42
cozziemotoI am noticing that wacom tablet cursor is jittery  almost to the point of trails04:42
cozziemotowho is implimenting the wacom drivers into natty?04:43
dw1Volkodav: CAn you give me a little coaching on the manual option?04:50
dw1Volkodav: I have already 3 primary partitions. I don't want them touched at all04:50
dw1Volkodav: Two are for Windows 7 OS. The third is for my dta files04:51
dw1Volkodav: So I want Ubuntu to manage with 1 extended partion and however many logical partitions in there it needs04:51
dw1Volkodav: Does that sound OK to you?04:51
coz_   dw1   did you read here?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition04:54
dw1coz_: thanks. I'll take a look04:55
dw1coz_: I really need an option that says "Install them side by side, choosing between them each at startup AND for this purpose use the largest continuous free space04:56
dw1coz_:  That would be perfect04:56
coz_cool04:56
coz_mm04:56
dw1coz_:  I I want to select two of four radio buttons, but it will only let me select one04:56
coz_dw1,  generally it installs side by side anyway04:56
coz_mm04:56
dw1coz_:  So perhaps doing it manually is the way to go04:57
dw1coz_:  Ah!!. Your last comment about side by side anyway is reassuring04:57
coz_dw1,   ok  is that link explaining manual partitioning04:57
coz_dw1,  when it gets to the partition manager.. a slider should be available for moving the partiion size around04:58
coz_dw1,  it is by far the easiest way...however ...again... if you want manual paritioning go for it...04:59
coz_I have to break here  ,,, be back in a few04:59
dw1coz_: Thanks v much for your time04:59
victoryI just upgraded to natty, and it seems the "Classic" desktop and the "Ubuntu" desktop are both running the same Gnome panels. Where is the new Unity interface?06:01
sidneivictory, you'll only see Unity if your hardware supports it. i think that means ATI graphics at the moment. i heard there'll be a fallback unity 2d that works for all graphic drivers before final.06:35
victorysidnei, Thanks. I just figured that out. I have nvidia - was trying nouveau, but although compiz works in classic desktop, I get no window decorations in the normal/unity desktop06:53
victorythe 2d is in the repos, but does it work?06:54
sidneidunno. i know there's a ppa with it, which suggests that the repos aren't the latest07:14

SupeR_NovAhelp me now run ubuntu 11.04 nvidia driver Vmware ?13:52
penguin42my understanding is that the nvidia driver isn't available for 11.04 yet - but what does that have to do with vmware?13:54
rumpe1me have nvidia driver ⊙_ʘ13:57
rumpe1but of course not in vm13:58
yofelrumpe1: not available for current X13:59
rumpe1yofel, ? ... and what do i have then?14:00
rumpe1i can use Nvidia X Server settings... thought this would be the nvidia driver14:00
yofelI don't know, check the version of xserver-xorg-core, if you have the nvidia driver installed it probably kept new X back14:00
rumpe1ah... could be14:01
yofeleven the newest beta driver from nvidia segfaults with x-server 1.1014:01
rumpe1have v1:7.5+6ubuntu614:02
rumpe1well ... ok then14:02
yofelthat's xorg, and the old one14:03
yofelcurrent xorg is 1:7.6~3ubuntu4 and xserver 2:1.9.99.901+git20110131.be3be758-0ubuntu414:03
rumpe1and i wondered why to many packages were kept back :>14:03
yofelI'm currently using old X with nvidia too, as nouveau isn't really usable here :S14:03
rumpe1although network-manager is buggy, i'm still impressed with it's overall stability14:04
yofelagreed, I'm on kde though14:05

BUGabundoyou have been here for so long, haven't you ?21:37
charlie-tcasupport is hard work21:37
BUGabundocharlie-tca: [[]]21:37
OmegaIt's a shame two MOTU (that know eachother) would behave like this.21:39
charlie-tcaUm, I don't qualify for that. I am not a MOTU, developer, or programmer. I am simply another user here21:40
charlie-tcaPerhaps you think this a developers channel? Most of us are simple users that run the latest stuff to help test it.21:41

BUGabundoI'm just an Ubuntu Member21:41
BUGabundodon't even Code a line :P21:41

BUGabundoCOC doesn't make anyone MOTU21:42
BUGabundogives them them the title of Ubuntero/Ubuntista21:42
penguin42Omega: Take it easy; no one here is a professional support guy; people do it to try and move stuff forward - so take it easy21:42
BUGabundopenguin42: from my POV21:43
BUGabundotelling someone to be calm, tends to irritate them21:43
penguin42BUGabundo: True :-)21:44
OmegaIf he was honestly trying to be helpfull I wouldn't have made it such a big deal.21:45
BUGabundoif you ask nicely and clearly what you want21:45
IdleOneI can see where Omega is coming from, they are having an issue and it is frustrating, the answer they got were not helpful but were also not violations of the COC. All that said NOBODY owes you anything here. we help when we can and if we feel like it. attitudes should reflect that.21:45
BUGabundoand don't be so aggressive to users that spend their day helping others, you might get a bit more help21:45

BUGabundoMOCP ftw22:15
vishor maybe i'm confusing with someone else :)22:15

vishha!22:15
hggdhpenguin42: how KDE behaving?22:15
penguin42hggdh: Not too bad, I've got a fix submitted for one bug that was annoying me (can't mount luks partitions) but at the moment natty is being flaky for me in both gnome and kde22:16
* hggdh will keep with the known evil, then22:16
penguin42pidgin on here is being flaky I think with libdbusmenu, and the open radeon drivers on the kde box are getting flaky22:17
hggdhpenguin42: weechat (at least the dev version) runs nicely here22:18
hggdh(but no dbus interface)22:19
penguin42hggdh: I don't think it's pidgin's fault from the last crash I got - I think it's libdbusmenu, but now I've got all the debug packages installed it hasn't crashed again yet22:20
hggdhof course22:20
hggdhnow it knows you will be able to zero in the crash ;-)22:20
penguin42yeh22:21
penguin42the radeon crashes are annoying me though - I think it was Sunday when I just had loads of different crashes22:21
hggdhthis is actually something I am getting worried on, I cannot check on UNity right now -- no nvidia drivers22:22
hggdhso it's nouveau and the known issues, with the classic desktop22:22
penguin42hggdh: I tried unity for a while, it was flaky as hell and I didn't like it, so this machine is just running classic22:22
bjsnidernvidia released a new blob a couple days ago that added almost nothing to the previous one, an annoying move by them22:23
hggdhpenguin42: unless you have an Intel card, this is pretty much what works right now -- classic on X 1.1022:23
penguin42bjsnider: I wish I could say welcome to closed source drivers, but unfortunately the open Radeon driver isn't helping me much22:23
penguin42bjsnider: Yeh this box running gnome is i945gm22:24
bjsnidernvidia is hiring more developers and may be shifting their linux strategy in some way22:24
hggdhBTW, grapevine says Dell is buying AMD22:24
penguin42yeh heard that, could be fun to watch22:25
bjsniderwhy the hell would dell want amd22:30
bjsniderdell has been paid for years by intel to use their chips22:30
penguin42Dell often used Radeons22:31
charlie-tcaNothing but Radeon a couple of years22:31
Prettowill natty will be ready to run on laptops with nvidia till april?22:46
penguin42Pretto: It'll probably be a little bit before release22:47
penguin42Pretto: It happens pretty much in every release that the closed drivers take a while to catch up22:47
Prettopenguin42: hehehe i hope so, i was trying it today but had no luck with nvidia drivers22:48
Prettopenguin42: when you install it the xorg is removed22:48
penguin42Pretto: I think that's because it conflicts with the version of the X server22:49
Prettopenguin42: maybe, i hope that it doesnt happen after release, it causes the system to be unusable to an end user22:51
penguin42Pretto: It normally gets sorted out22:51
Prettopenguin42: let's wait :)22:51
