dasen1Hi guys, does anyone have  problem with running deluge in the latest natty code?00:49
iktheya, does anyone know how to resize dash?00:59
Daekdroomikt, you can make it fullscreen or use the size it comes as, as far as I know01:01
iktDaekdroom, so if it's full screen, how do I un-full screen it :s01:03
Daekdroomikt, I don't know how. It doesn't seem possible.01:03
ikthrmm01:08
danyRikt: you can use dconf-editor, found in the package dconf-tools01:10
dasen1does anyone here use deluge?01:14
iktdasen1, yep01:14
iktdanyR, thanks :)01:14
dasen1ikt: do you have any  problem running it under natty?01:14
iktdasen1, what type of problems?01:15
danyRikt: you need to change the form-factor under desktop/unity/ :)01:15
dasen1ikt I get a segmentation fault, the version is 1.3.1-1ubuntu101:16
danyRdasen1: just for curiosity, try running it like this: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 deluge01:17
dasen1it worked!!!01:17
dasen1what was the problem, and what does that command do?01:18
danyRdasen1: it's a known bug, currently in progress. affects other apps, like software-center01:18
danyRdasen1: I don't have the bug report here, but it's not on your side, it'll be fixed by an update. it's pretty dark and deep linux stuff :)01:18
dasen1ok01:19
dasen1thanks a lot!01:19
danyRdasen1: got the bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/25921901:19
ubottuUbuntu bug 259219 in mesa (Ubuntu Natty) "Broken TLS support in libGL.so" [High,In progress]01:20
dasen1do you think this bug will be resolved by the time natty gets out?01:22
danyRdasen1: Absolutely :)01:23
danyRthis is clearly a release-blocker bug: it would be impossible for natty to be shipped with this bug01:23

arandpartman failed to load the partitioning step when running the alternate CD, has anyone been able to install on a system with an already present LVM configuration, or is LVM the crux here?01:58
arandAlso, still no LVM support in ubiquity?01:59
penguin42arand: Are the lvm tools there - i.e. if you vgdisplay or the like does it show?02:03
arandpenguin42: Yea, well the syslog shows that partman detects the lvm setup seemingly ok02:05
arandpenguin42: I posted the bug link in -bugs and the logs are attached to it... I don't see what's going wrong though..02:06
penguin42arand: I knowthere is a bug (bug I thought it was for the non-alternate) for the install failing if there were existing unrecognised partitions - but I don't know if it's related02:06
arandI wonder if the unassociated pv messes with things..., that's next on my list to check if nothing else pops out02:07
penguin42arand: I'd bring the volume groups up by hand - I think there is a vgchange -a that needs doing somewhere along the line, and then see what happens02:09
Fluttershydoes anyone know what might be causing the date/time editor to not be updating to the new one in a3?02:10
josh1I am trying 11.04 and I am trying to install it, but the install is taking like 2hrs, this is the xubuntu version, any idea why? oh this is alpha 302:54
josh1how long are installs taking you guys?02:59
josh1has anybody have problems installing alpha 303:04
Fluttershyit took me about 1.5 hours to updgrade from Maverick03:06
josh1Mine has been running for atleast 2 hrs and it is a fresh install off of a flash drive03:07
FluttershyI don't think xubuntu is supported here, though03:07
josh1hmm, there isn't a support channel for natty xubuntu?03:07
josh1I tried xubuntu+1, nothing there03:07
DaekdroomI believe this is the channel03:08
FluttershyI wouldn't know, sorry; what about regular #xubuntu?03:08
DaekdroomDefinitely not there03:09
josh1nobody is talking there, I can't get anybody to answer questions about regular xubuntu there either03:09
josh1I would install the ubuntu version of natty, but I have had better luck running xfce on my laptops03:10
Fluttershyxubuntu is pretty small-scale compared to ubuntu/kubuntu, especially since there's competition in lubuntu03:10
josh1gnome and unity are too much for my laptops to handle03:10
Fluttershyhow old are they? I have Ubuntu Natty running on my netbook just fine03:11
josh1lubuntu is ok, but I have never felt that it was a good fit, not exactly polished, xubuntu seemed better03:11
DaekdroomXubuntu is no longer known for being light.03:12
josh1p4 with 512 ram (old one), new one is a netbook (cr-48 from google)03:12
DaekdroomIt's not as heavy as ubuntu or kubuntu, sure.03:12
josh1actually it is pretty light here, runs much better on the p4 laptop03:12
josh1I can get it down to 100mb of ram or less  at boot by just turning off some startup apps03:13
josh1is there any benefit to using the 64bit version if I have less than 3 gigs of ram?03:17
FluttershyI'm of the opinion 64bit versions are rarely beneficial03:18
DaekdroomNope.03:19
DaekdroomUnless you like enconding videos, compiling etc03:19
josh1I have x64 of 8.04 on my desktop (4 gigs of ram) but I didn't know if I would benefit on my laptop03:21
EvilPhoenixwhere can i get a copy of the alpha (for testing purposes on a non-production machine)?04:15

visual1cemy gaming system is sitting doing nothing... i'd like to run the natty live cd - is there a script or something that runs programmes/tasks repetitively and if/when an error occurs automatically sends a report to canonical?06:36
visual1cei wonder if it will run raid ICH10r06:36
head_victimvisual1ce: I don't think I installed it so it should be default, in the System Menu there is a "System Testing" program that does some tests and offers to send them back to the developers if that's what you mean06:39
visual1cethx06:39
throughnothinganyone here running natty on a macbook?07:28
arandHas anyone here successfully been able to launch partman (partitioning step of d-i) on a already-LVM system past alpha3? I am not and want to figure out if it's due to the LVM or something else...?07:54

zniavreim right now using natty + nouveau driver + unity-2d with compiz , im wondering why i can't use unity (3d) ?13:30
Crashbitzniavre: your natty is updated ?13:32
arandstiannes: hmm, was published 5 days ago, so doubting my suggested reason.13:32
arandstiannes: And looking at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/vim_7.3.035%2Bhg%7E8fdc12103333-1ubuntu4_amd64.deb it seems to depend on ..4, so I don't know what's going on in your case13:35
robin0800zniavre, don't think unity 2d uses compiz?13:36
weldzniavre: I had to install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental to get unity running with nouveau, but i had many freezes13:39
stiannesarand: For some reason, my vim package, using "apt-cache show vim", is showing lubuntu3, not 4.13:41
arandstiannes: might be a muckup in lubuntu13:42
stiannesarand: But why isn't my system getting version 4 if it's released 5 days ago?13:45
zniavrerobin0800,  it was just a "test13:49
zniavreweld,  i did that too but unity does not want to start, do i need to uninstall unity-2d ?13:49
zniavrewhen unity (3d) seems to start the desktop is empty (no launcher , no panel, only the terminal.desktop i put into the desktop)13:50
weldzniavre: can you open the terminal from there and run unity?13:51
weldi didn't have unity-2d installed, but i think it shouldn't matter13:51
zniavreweld,  yes i can open it but it's unusable i can't type in it13:52
weldzniavre: you can switch to a tty? then you can do 'DISPLAY=:0  unity' and see what it says13:53

iktarminmarth,  is indicator-datetime installed?13:59

zniavreit works?14:00

zniavrethe newest one for recent hardware ?14:00
arminmarthno it's not -- i'll install it now?14:01

weldfor me it shows only the nvidia driver at the moment14:02
zniavreok14:02
zniavrei should install it first14:03
weldthe big problem with the nvidia driver for me is that i can't use ttys because they are completely off-screen, just the first line or so is showing at the bottom14:05
zniavreis nt posible to setup the tty resolution ?14:06
weldzniavre: did you have the nvidia driver installed before on that pc?14:06
zniavreyes14:06
zniavre173.14.2814:06
arminmarthOK ikt, I've installed indicator-datetime ; stupid question, but how do I configure it?14:06
weldyou might check if the nouveau module is blacklisted still from the nvidia driver14:07
zniavredoncf-editor no for datetime-indicator14:07
zniavre?14:07
weldlook in /etc/modprobe.d/ if there's a file with nvidia.. blacklist nouveau or smth14:07
welda file named like that, i mean14:07
zniavrethere is not14:09
zniavreno luck with unity :o(14:09
weldzniavre: you should especially check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see which driver is actually used14:11
zniavrenouveau is used14:11
weldi havent tried nouveau since a few weeks now, so I can't say if it works for me14:12

weldit used to, when i last tried, but with freezes14:13
iktarminmarth, not sure sorry, i'll check when i get back14:13

penguin42yeh, that's why we're here17:04
pentesterhow are you liking it, im not not a fan at the moment17:04
penguin42a bit flaky for me17:04
pentesterits almost a, how can we make it look just like apple's os17:05
Blue1will the new version have support for gnome 3, or are the full steaming unity?17:08
penguin42yeh, although I think some of the reason is to make it work with touch displays which I have some sympathy with, and Unity is a LOT better than it was a month ago - I just think it needs that same order of improvement again17:08
DaekdroomBlue1, Unity doesn't replace GNOME, and Ubuntu 11.04 is shipping GNOME 2.32 anyway17:08
Blue1Daekdroom: it is my understanding they will replace gnome with unity17:09
DaekdroomBlue1, nope17:09
DaekdroomBlue1, they're going to use Unity instead of Gnome shell, which is part of Gnome.17:09
Blue1Daekdroom: ahh good == there is been a lot of flak about gnome vs ubuntu in slashdot recently17:10
penguin42Daekdroom: Isn't the problem the Gnome 3 transition?17:10
Daekdroompenguin42, it's a tough transition, indeed, but I think they'd use Unity nevertheless17:10
Blue1i found unity to be pretty pathetic, but then that's just one guys opinion17:10
DaekdroomI'm used to it, but I might migrate to Gnome shell because it looks neater.17:11
Blue1Daekdroom: i have debian in a vbox atm, looking at that17:11
Blue1let me scroll to the top and see when the beta is out17:12
Blue1end of march beta 1 will be released17:13
pentesterim running 11.04 in vm at the moment and honestly i hate the new top panel. seems like there trying to condense things and add more, what seems unneeded17:13
penguin42pentester: The actual moving the menus into there seems actually a good idea - gets me a lot more screen space back; but it's quite touchy17:14
Blue1pentester: are you able to customise the look of unity at all?  I couldn't change am/pm, background pics, etc - no max/min -- and no multi-tasking17:14
Daekdroompenguin42, it's not really necessary in big monitors17:14
Daekdroomand if you have a non-maximized window close to the bottom, it stays too far.17:15

thofkeI tried alpha-3 as Live-USB also, and with that one compiz crashes but it says that it cannot apport due to low memory...17:56
thofkeCan it be a hardware problem, as compiz is also not functioning in 10.10? Or is there somewehere a regression creeped in between 9.10 and now?17:57

arandThe experimental nouveau might work better for a no-restart test, if they work that is21:03

Time to time volume control and keyboard layout icons disappears or behave weird, same thing with bottom gnome-panel and I'm constantly receiving messages that some program (usually aptdaemon and compiz) has crashed. Any way to fix that issues?21:23
