scarleoUpdated this morning and now compiz won't start so no panels whatsoever in unity. Also I can't bring up a terminal with ctrl+alt+t. Tried starting compiz from another tty but no luck. Any suggestions?07:37
Jordan_Uscarleo: Did you set and export $DISPLAY before running compiz in another tty?07:39
scarleoNo, not sure how to do that07:40
Jordan_Uexport DISPLAY=:0.007:40
scarleothanks07:40
Jordan_UYou're welcome.07:42
SeverianIt has not been possible to do any installs of narwhall using the alternate installer for any of the alpha releases.  This was addressed in a daily build a bit under a week ago.  So, I have not been able to complete any q. tests for the installer.  Should I wait for Beta or do a test on a daily build and submit it somewhere?07:43
bazhangSeverian, the alternate worked fine here07:43
SeverianI don't know how.  But, I guess that's good.  I tried alpha 1, 2, and 3 on a variety of hardware and it never completed.07:44
scarleoJordan_U: Still cant make it start, "Couldn't load plugin 'ccp'"07:46

AAA_awrightI'm having a problem, the development Ubuntu refuses to keep my default web browser the same, it either gets reset to Firefox, or Chrome which is supposed to be my default, only launches the home page and not a specific page. Anyone see this problem?08:17
SeverianMy default is Firefox and it does not get reset.  If your problem happens a lot, I could try Chrome and see if it resets.  I can't really browse much with Chrome because of its poor security, but I can load it.08:19
AAA_awrightFirefox always loads to the correct page, if that gets erroniously brought up08:19
SeverianI use a non-standard home page and it has never gotten reset on Natty08:20
AAA_awrightUsing Preferred Applications to switch to Chrome appears to always load the homepage, Setting the default to Firefox to enable the "Make Chrome my default" button and then using that seems to fix it, at least temporarily08:20
AAA_awrightAdditionally when Chrome sets the default, it isn't reported in Preferred Applications, it still shows Firefox08:21
SeverianWhen you say Chrome, do you really mean Chromium?08:22
AAA_awrightChrome08:22
AAA_awrightThe colorful red-green-yellow-blue logo08:22
SeverianSo, you go to google and download it?08:22
AAA_awrightGoogle Chrome 11.0.696.16 dev08:22
SeverianSo, you go to google and download it?08:23
AAA_awrightYes08:23
AAA_awrightI compile the bleeding edge Chromium on Gentoo as well I've never had any problems with that08:23
vakhi all08:24
AAA_awrightSwitching from Firefox (or what is reported as such, when the default is really properly functioning Chrome) to Chrome breaks it again08:25
vakare there any widgets or whatever to see resource load in unity desktop?08:25
scarleoSeverian: What poor security in Chrome are you referring to?08:25
SeverianI'll see if I can install Chrome.  I have started reading the terms of service.08:25
* vak finds unity weird without some usual things like clocks, network indicators, CPU load etc08:26
Severianscarleo, Chrome is bad in terms of javascript exploits.  Firefox has noscript, but Chrome does not have anything similar, because Chrome does not have the appropriate hooks.08:26
AAA_awrightThat's a feature08:27
scarleoSeverian: There is Notscripts in Chrome, works the same way afaik08:27
Severianscarleo, It does not work nearly as well.  It can't hook in early enough in the page loading in Chrome.08:28
scarleoSeverian: Ok, thanks for the tip08:28
SeverianIf I needed to use Chrome, I'd use it, but I still would be uneasy about browsing.08:29
vakguys?08:30
vakDon't you use all these indicators?08:30
AAA_awrightNever needed it on the Ubuntu system, I have monitors on all the Gentoo systems for obvious reasons08:32
AAA_awrightBut that's a good question08:32
vakI am trying 11.04 beta and found this absence very uncomfortable08:33
vakwait08:33
vakclocks are here now --  so it was a theme bug08:33
vakmy theme was black and white after a few minutes of use, but it is OK for beta though08:34
vakwell08:34
vakbut I need CPU load etc at glance...08:34
Severianvak, I miss that as well in Unity08:35
AAA_awrightOh, I do have the display/monitor indicator, and sometimes instead of the monitor icon it displays the wireless icon08:35
AAA_awrightBut if you click it's very clearly shows the monitor orientation menu08:36
vakSeverian: So, you indirectly confirm it absent. I see. It's a pity08:36
AAA_awrightNo clue what that's about08:36
vakok08:36
* vak gets back to work08:36
SeverianThere is a gnome applet called System Monitor.  Before Unity, I aways added it and it shows a little chart of CPU load.  It is quite handy.08:37
vakSeverian: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=170113908:40
Severianvak, I had no expectation that Gnome applets would run in Unity.  I have 3 I loaded on every machine and I'll miss them.  Of couse, maybe I won't use Unity.  I am still testing and have not decided.08:42
zniavre_you can use conky or screenlets to display stuff like that no ?08:44
Severianzniavre_, Conky can do most of that.  I don't think it works as well. and it isdifficilt to setup.  Finally, who knows if it works with compiz, which Unity uses?08:46
zniavre_conky can works with unity (at least unity-2d)08:46

bpri just installed an 11.04 build and "alt-f" doesn't skip forward one word.  Does anyone have any ideas why this would be?09:01
SeverianAAA_awright, I am about 2 thirds through the terms of service.  I can say I would not use Chrome on my own behalf.  There are several problems, but clause 20.3 is a deal killer for me.09:25
SeverianAAA_awright, Sorry, I can't install Chrome to test for you.  The Adobe additional terms are just not acceptable and would legally bind me in a way I can't accept.09:39

wompydompyHi. I'm using an up-to-date alpha-version and the whole system freezes from time to time. I know how to make a bug report when a program crashes, but is there any manual on how to handle a whole system crash? I thought about reading out logs etc, because at the time i don't know which component crashes..10:58
BUGabundoo/11:15
Severianwompydompy, When you say it freezes, what do you mean.  I have had X freeze.  I can still ssh to the machine and run commands.  X seems unusually crashy in Natty, but that is probably related to compiz or 3d in some way.11:17
wompydompySeverian: Im not sure if its only the x-system. I havent got a 2nd Computer here to test ssh, but for example i am not able to switch to the terminal via Ctrl+Alt+F1..11:21
wompydompyi thought it might relate to the 3D-driver,but im using Classic Desktop without effects, but it still freezes..11:22
SeverianI don't really understand people with only single digit number of computers.  I'll try switch virtual terminals next time it happens.11:23
Severianswitch -> switching11:23
wompydompymerci11:23
susundbergalso ctrl+alt+sysrq might be worth of trying11:24
susundberghttp://www.linuxhowtos.org/Tips%20and%20Tricks/sysrq.htm11:24
susundbergoh there is no ctrl on that?11:24
susundberg-- Alt+SysRq+r takes keyboard and mouse control from the X server.11:25
susundbergtry that and then the ctrl + alt + f111:25
SeverianOK, I see SysRQ printed in green on the edge of one key.  I don't know what to press to actually get it.  Do I press shift or something?  I have an old IBM model 102, I think they are called.11:27
arand_Well, the best thing you can do is just try it and see what works, Alt+sysreq, Alt+Fn+sysreq, Alt+Cmd+sysreq, or whatever modifier keys your board has...11:31
SeverianInteresting.  Nattyy sets the sysrq to 1 by default.  My maverick machines default to 0.11:40

yofelthe any instructions is what apport is supposed to do with -w, no idea why that would crash18:56
cmyrlandanyway, my first bug was that the unity launcher sometimes forgets to hide. It seems like there is a crash, because it often gets "solid", as in not transparent when that happens. MY quick fix for that is to launch TomBoy and drag the tomboy window over the launcher. Then it pops back.18:57
