[01:17] OsakaFoo, in login screen, change Ubuntu Desktop Edition at the bottom to Classic Gnome or something like that. [01:17] oh yeh, forgot about the login screen ^_^ its auto login atm [01:17] thanks, i'll give that a shot [01:19] that worked, now gnomes theme seams to have exploded [01:28] What's the file that needs to be removed to kinda reset the video settings? My lappy is running +1 and has a two inch black bar on each side of the screen [01:30] cjohnston: /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [01:30] That file is not even used by default [01:30] I don't think it's gonna fix your problem [01:30] I don't even have that file. [01:31] Like I said, it's not used by default (anymore) [01:31] yup [01:31] To be honest, there is no file you have to remove to reset the settings. [01:31] :-/ [01:33] Daekdroom: anything I can do to set it back to normal? [01:36] cjohnston, no clue =/ [01:37] Hi guys, can anyone give me their sources.list file to compare with mine, because for some reason unity isn't getting updated when I do a 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'? [01:38] dasen: what version of unity are you running? [01:38] I haven't had an update in a few days now [01:41] cjohnston: I don't know what version it is, how do I check? [01:42] aptitude show unity [01:43] 3.1.3-0ubuntu2 [01:45] That's kinda old [01:45] We're in 3.6.something [01:46] Yeah, that's why I think maybe something's wrong with my sources.list [01:46] pastebin it [01:46] I'm gonna paste them in a paste bin and give u the link to it [01:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/576757/ [01:50] dasen: show apt-cache policy unity [01:51] unity: [01:51] Instalado: 3.1.3-0ubuntu2 [01:51] Candidato: 3.1.3-0ubuntu2 [01:51] Tabela de Versão: [01:51] *** 3.1.3-0ubuntu2 0 [01:51] 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/unity/ppa/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages [01:51] 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status [01:51] 0.2.46-0ubuntu5 0 [01:51] 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages [01:52] dasen: and what's the result of sudo apt-get update ?

[03:08] victory747: did you install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental? [03:08] is that from the standard repos, or experimental repos? [03:08] victory747: standard repos [03:08] libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental 7.10.1~git20110215.cc1636b6-0ubuntu2 [03:09] victory747: it is in universe [03:09] It's in. [03:09] victory747: then I don't know [03:09] I'd check if the nouveau experimental 3D support covers that card. It's kinda old. [03:10] Unity 2D is working (although buggy). [03:10] Unfortunately, #nouveau has no 3D support. [03:10] Compiz effects work with the classic desktop with this card and nouveau. [03:10] What? I thought nouveau was a 3D driver. [03:10] It's a 2D driver. [03:11] The Gallium3D nvidia state tracker that you can use with it is still experimental [03:11] and there is no support for it. [03:11] even in the #nouveau channel [03:12] oh, I see. So basically i need to wait for nvidia to release the 173 driver for the latest xorg. [03:13] Indeed. [03:13] after installing the libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental package, run glxinfo | grep OpenGL in a terminal and pastebin the output, please. [03:14] It might happen that you do have 3D support, but given how recent the code is, it's still not ready to run Unity [03:18] http://pastebin.com/zdm6jFBC (but there are only four lines) [03:18] Yeah, the usual 4 lines that command outputs [03:18] and it seems you do have 3D support. [03:18] glxgears runs [03:19] like I said, the compiz effects (wobbly windows) works on classic desktop, so I assume 3D support is working [03:19] but unity doesn't launch. things seem to crash [03:19] Compiz relies mostly on compositing. [03:19] It must be lacking a OpenGL instruction, no surprise there. [03:20] Is this something that should be reported, or do I just need to wait? [03:21] As far as I know, you shouldn't report against libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental because that package is not supported [03:21] and the 3d support for nouveau will slowly progress anyway [03:22] ok, so I guess it's back to the proprietary drivers for 3D support. [03:22] Thanks for your help. === alisalaah is now known as Camarata [04:32] hi - just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 on a pc with dual boot win7 64x and ubuntu - the new grub does not offer win7 as a boot option - how to fix please.. need in detail because not so much linux background knowledge..

[12:24] hi guys, my question may be classical: in 11.04, can I use gnome shell instead of unity? [12:32] no one? i am a bit lost: gnome 3 or unity. and the 11.04 able to use gnome-shell... cause i read unity is more user friendly more no power users, it s more tactile orientated... [12:33] but if i don t care about this? [12:33] what should I do? [12:33] Guest6608: Ubuntu still uses GDM, so you can select wich desktop environment you want by using the 'Sessions' selector at the login screen. [12:34] Pici, thanks. So from gdm in 11.04 i can choose unity or gnome-shell? [12:35] Guest6608: If you have gnome-shell installed, yes. [12:35] ok this solves everything! [12:35] and do you use a magic trackpad? [12:35] (i like this one) [12:36] cause i read 10.10 support was not as good as 10.04 ,... i d like to know what is about 11.04... [12:37] oh: and in order to install gnome-shell, i must apt!get it. But then, is the gnome-shell –replace command needed? [12:37] or will it be just a choice from gdm and "basta"?

[14:47] brobostigon: yeah, no idea if the same bug could cause different esr/ipehr numbers... fwiw my thinkpad x41 was also crashing in i915gm, but I didn't bother to report it [14:48] Trewas: so do you get the same "gpu lockup" error when it happens in dmesg? [14:50] Hi, I installed natty in a new PC and cannot view any flash though flashplugin-installer is installed, what's missing? [14:50] brobostigon: yes, I don't remember whether the esr/ipehr numbers were the same as in the older bug reports [14:51] and that computer is currently updating to win7 sp1, and will be for a few hours from the looks of it so I can't check :) [14:51] Trewas: ok, maybe you couldfind out aput somesupport one it, so we canget it fixed, please.

[15:18] brobostigon, well, I had to revert the older pc to 10.10 , but the new kernel was also installed (must be an upgrade) , so it still wouldn't boot the new one..I removed it and now all seems ok so far [15:19] BluesKaj: ah, i see, weird. [15:19] the limitations of perfectly good pcs just because they have older HW :( [15:20] agreed. [15:21] I hate to admit it , but it runs very well with W7 [15:22] you didn't happen to attempt a -pae enabled kernel on a non-pae cpu? [15:26] patdk-wk, pae? , not familiar with that term [15:27] enables memory >4gigs on 32bit cpu's [15:29] patdk-wk, 2g RAM, 64bit amd cpu - venice 3200+ ,and I had to use the alternate install , because the live-cd wouldn't get past plymouth [15:30] your using 64bit kernel? [15:32] yes, thought I'd try it for a change..was using 32bit previously , but the pc still needed the alternate to install 10.04 and 10.10 [15:32] 32bit [15:37] maybe the nvidia graphics 7600gt ranks the pc higher up the foodchain somehow and tries to install kernels that will run with that card but not the rest of the HW....dunno for sure , that logic also seems flawed , so I really can't figure it. [15:39] the only difference in terms of kernels would be if you have decided to use i386 but have 4gb or more RAM then you get the pae kernel so you can use the extra ram. otherwise everybody has the same kernel. even the pae change is trivial [15:43] bjsnider, the kernel that itdoes run on is 2.6.36-22 , it upgraded to 2.6.36.-27, but failed to boot , so after 3 tries at repair broken pkges , and restarting X and kdm, I removed the new kernel and settled for the first one that installed [15:47] you have broken packages? [15:48] brobostigon: np, I will check that and report back later today [15:49] edgy: ok, :) [15:50] bjsnider, not anymore , it kept trying to fix some libs that had broken depends , but failed === genii-around_ is now known as genii-around [15:59] hey genii-around , take the plunge ?

[16:11] it would be the generic, it's only got 2G ram [16:11] Not necessarily. [16:11] The PC I had before this had only 1G RAM and it installed the PAE kernel anyway [16:12] well, dunno much about pae , my understanding is if the installer detects more than 4Gram it installs the pae [16:13] Daekdroom, how can you tell what's pae and what isn't [16:13] ? [16:14] CPU-wise? [16:14] kernelwise [16:14] uname -a [16:14] spits out the kernel present. [16:14] for example: Linux marcos-p6645br 2.6.38-5-generic-pae #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 17:48:56 UTC 2011 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux [16:15] what's the indicator that the kernel is pae ?

[19:23] Why did they go with unity? [19:23] Seriously.... Im using it now.... it horrible. I can't do anything. The terminal is horribly hard to find :( [19:24] super key + type term... terminal... not that hard :) [19:24] use Ctrl+Alt+t to find it easy [19:24] even better [19:24] Ya but newbies dont know it [19:24] think of end users [19:24] going from gnome to unity [19:25] users who are.... well ex-windows end users. [19:25] Use this to find the shortcuts - http://askubuntu.com/questions/28086/keyboard-shortcuts-in-unity/28087#28087 [19:25] Oh i know i know, im talkin about people who dont even know how to get x-chat let alone figure out shortcuts. [19:26] going from gnome to unity is not different than going from gnome to kde or xfce, you still learn different ways to do the same thing [19:26] when adding the repositories I get many 404's when doing apt-get update [19:26] Yo added one, right, not all 4? [19:26] But some people like gnome, theve used it for years, there gonna hate ubuntu for this, they might even switch distrobutions, software consistancy is a major selling point for an OS. [19:27] nictrasavios: people who don't know how to get x-chat need a quick way to get to the terminal? [19:27] Heck, im stayin on 10.10 and praying 11.10 is gnome :/ [19:27] then they can use classic desktop, which is similar, but they will hate gnome 3, which is also going to have big changes [19:27] 11.04 will be gnome [19:27] Gnome is also changing... [19:28] I pretty much did what the webpage you posted said [19:28] mhall119, when they google "HOW DO I FIC DIS NOOOWWW!" and they get terminal commands... [19:28] yep. [19:29] in that case, I think pressing the Ubuntu logo'd button and typing "terminal" should be obvious enough [19:29] HerrBert: pretty much is not okay. You should have added a single line for Natty , not all 4 lines for stable releases. Otherwise you get a bunch of errors. Also, did you add the key it said to? [19:29] mhall119: it is not [19:29] That is not at all intuitive [19:30] what would be the more intuitive way of finding an installed application in Unity? [19:30] um, a menu? [19:30] dang it, i g2g, natualius is going haywire on 11.04 [19:30] which menu? [19:30] c yahs before my system gets borked. [19:30] any menu [19:30] but which menu in Unity would you expect to find it in? [19:30] opening a thing that says "find apps" does not tell a user what to do [19:31] wait, is the problem finding the terminal specifically, of finding any app in Unity in general? [19:31] I can find things in any menu in kde, gnome, and xfce. Why does Unity think menus are harder than typing what you need? [19:31] charlie-tca: I did 1 - 4, and when doing the update i get the 404's [19:32] charlie-tca: okay, I misunderstood the complaint, I thought he was saying that the terminal was harder to find that other apps in Unity [19:32] than other apps [19:32] just in case anyone using easycap. after loading the module is it necessary to install the existing hack for it? [19:32] HerrBert: then you did Number 2, which adds repositories that are not for natty, and will give the 404 [19:34] charlie-tca: ok, undid that, still getting "http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 141.30.13.10 80]" [19:35] that is not the debug symbol repository. Did you just add that one? [19:35] but now I have the symbold package [19:35] =) [19:38] just in case if anyone using easycap. after loading the module is it necessary to install the existing hack for it? (sorry.. had to repeat the question due to an outage here) [20:21] does the nvidia binary driver work with natty now? [20:22] judgen, nvidia-current does [20:22] Not sure about the rest [20:22] would i gain anything so far from upgrading from maverick to natty? or should i wait for the main release? [20:22] it is more fun to play with the new software though [20:23] You'd gain bugs to deal with, for sure. [20:23] are there newer kernels too? [20:23] 2.6.38 [20:23] or is that the same as in maverick [20:23] with the legendary performance patch [20:23] and unity! [20:23] .37 i latest in maverick? [20:23] (which is still buggy) [20:23] Hm, I think it's 3.5 [20:23] *.35 [20:23] !info linux | maverick [20:24] maverick: linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.38.5.19 (natty), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 all armel powerpc) [20:24] i do not use gtk or unity so that does not matter to me. [20:24] !info linux maverick [20:24] linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.35.27.35 (maverick), package size 5 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all armel) [20:24] yeah .35 in maverick [20:25] ok then, im going to give it a whirl. [21:17] Does unity fall back on metacity in case of no acceleration? [21:19] arand, yes, it falls back to classic gnome [21:19] arand, in the future, it'll fall back to unity-2d, which will, if necessary, fall back to metacity [21:20] Right, good to know. [21:20] Thanks === BUGabundo1 is now known as BUGabundo [21:49] Anyone remember how to blacklist pulseaudio, disabling it from running at startup. [21:53] judgen, mv /usr/bin/pulseaudio [21:59] judgen, I just remove pulseaudio altogether [22:01] I haven't been able to find any benefits using pulseaudio [22:01] BluesKaj, what do you use instead? [22:02] Daekdroom: I just use ALSA, it works fine. [22:02] the bare essentials , alsa-base and alsa utils [22:02] Right. ALSA has a mixing server in userspace now [22:03] is it possible to use the famebuffer in CLI while still using the nvidia binary module for X? [22:03] pulseaudio just adds another layer of unecessary audio processing on most soundcards causing distortion and noise [22:04] BluesKaj: That is why i wanted to rid myself of it. Started jittering after a while of playing. [22:05] judgen, Daekdroom , I think pulseaudio might beneficial to those with dedicated fancy soundcards , giving more input and output options etc [22:05] might be beneficial [22:05] aaah [22:06] I wish Ubuntu would move to OSSv4 someday. [22:06] i use a emu10k card from creative labs.. [22:06] has worked with alsa for ages [22:06] Daekdroom, I thought OSS was depracated [22:07] BluesKaj: Is not OSS used in all the BSD distros as well as in haiku? [22:07] judgen, yeah , I had one of those yrs ago [22:07] judgen, I have no idea about BSD [22:08] BluesKaj: i put it in after the dsp in the crappy realtek integrated gave up. [22:08] BluesKaj: ALSA is very linux specific [22:08] Doesn't the L stand for Linux? [22:08] wonder what will happen now that i have mv'd the akonadi binaries away. [22:09] Advanced Linux Audio Architecture i think [22:09] but i might be wrong on that. [22:09] yeah judgen , exactly [22:10] But the second a was made into sound later... [22:10] so it became ALSA instead of ALAA [22:11] dunno why [22:11] so long ago, that noome remembers except for the people involved [22:11] I have a coaxaudio out feeding my HTReceiever of an elcheapo integrated nvidia soundchip , and I'm happy enuff with results..movies/music look and sound fine [22:11] off an an elcheapo [22:12] BluesKaj: Nvidia does not do sound cards afaik.. the make the bridge for their licensed Realtek crap. [22:13] i really wish realtek would go out of the sound area and focus om what they are better at. [22:13] ahhh, judgen ok , thought it was another nvidia royalty type licence, like my 2 nvidia cards , both made by different manufacturers [22:13] mvidia graphics cards [22:14] i am off for a reboot... laterz! [22:14] ok, good luck [22:38] trying to install alpha3 hasn't been as smooth as alpha2 ... [22:38] to put it mildly :-) [22:38] but it the end ... here i am [23:06] argh, I recently added the PPA package for gnome-do and failed. [23:06] for some reason my software sources is GONE from my menus. [23:06] what is the command for removing a PPA address? [23:06] wrong page... [23:07] mwilson1023, software sources no longer shows up in the menu by default. You can get there through synaptic [23:07] Software sources are available through the software centre instead... [23:07] synaptic. meh, [23:08] thanks [23:14] I'll epeat here as well, mwilson1023,alt+f2 , gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , you can comment the ppa repos line with a # or remove the ppa [23:14] repeat [23:14]
