[00:00] Hi, Anyone know how I can get weather in the notification area when using Unity? [00:02] ceed^, you need indicator-weather see OMG!ubuntu! for details of how to install [00:07] bug 438868 [00:07] Launchpad bug 438868 in firefox (Ubuntu) "Numerous applications have focus issues after emerging from a screensaver or suspend" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/438868 [00:07] been around for about 5 releases, got worse with natty [00:08] especially now with firefox 4.0 [00:11] robin0800: I can't find any that works in unity. In gnome it was built into the clock. [00:12] and I did try indicator-weather. I can see that it runs, but I can't get it to show up in the notification area [00:13] ceed^, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/indicator-weather-adds-data-caching-extra-weather-providers-and-locations/ [00:16] robin0800: Thanks a lot! There's a PPA it seems. Might give me an updated version. [00:19] It works. Thanks again! :) [00:35] https://demos.mozilla.org/en-US/#globetweeter \o/ === phisko_ is now known as kyofel_ [00:49] are there any solutions to fglrx install errors? [01:03] I've just downloaded and made a liveusb of natty narwhal, and am installing it onto my computer, but I've hit a problem. I've got as far as the screen that says 'allocate drive space', and have allocated the partitions, but now realise there's no buttons or means to proceed further. I'm stuck there, forever. [01:07] Am I supposed to know a certain key, or combination of keys, to press right now? [01:08] Rods_Tiger, did you tell the partition were to mount? [01:09] yes, I've specified the partitions [01:09] but this screen is a dead-end. There's no way forward from here. [01:09] Rods_Tiger, and chosen its format? [01:10] yes, but how do I move forward to the next step? [01:10] There's not even any buttons or arrows or anything I'd expect to move me to the next action. === kyofel_ is now known as kyofel [01:11] Rods_Tiger, something must be wrong then go back and check [01:11] well I know something is wrong. That's what I'm saying. [01:11] !info exaile [01:12] How can a screen ask for information and then leave me there with no way forward? [01:12] exaile (source: exaile): full featured music player written for GTK+. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.2.1-0buntu1 (natty), package size 1116 kB, installed size 5732 kB [01:12] Rods_Tiger, ctrl/alt/delete should work [01:12] to go forward? [01:12] which? or all three? [01:12] Rods_Tiger, no to go back [01:13] why would I want to go back? That doesn't do the job of installing, I should be going forward. [01:13] Going back would do the opposite - not installing. [01:14] Rods_Tiger, it wont let you install if its not right [01:14] but it is right. [01:14] It's just that there's no way to go forward. It seems to be designed with no buttons or arrows or anything like that. [01:15] Rods_Tiger, then you would have a button you don't so it's wrong [01:15] I know it's wrong. There should be a way forward. That's what I've been saying all this time. Not having a way to go forward in an installation is wrong. [01:16] There must be a next step. But there's no way to get there. [01:17] Rods_Tiger, If it accepted your partiton choices it would give you a button [01:17] what would the button say? [01:18] Rods_Tiger, continue [01:18] where would this button magically appear? [01:19] Rods_Tiger, When you have set the partition correctly [01:19] I said where, not when [01:20] And I told you that I have set the partitions correctly [01:20] Rods_Tiger, go back and check [01:20] for what? [01:20] go back how? [01:21] Rods_Tiger, ctrl/alt/delete [01:21] why? [01:22] control alt delete does nothing [01:23] you mean all three at once? [01:23] that does nothing [01:24] Rods_Tiger, perhaps it has crashed then, mouse still working? [01:24] I'm still at the screen that says 'allocate drive space' and there's no way to go anywhere from here. It's a dead end. [01:24] no it hasn't crashed. [01:24] can someone try and reproduce a bug for me? Click on the date in the panel, click time & date setting sand then click unlock - I get a load of boxes rather than any text in the form [01:26] It's highly unusual for an install procedure to have no navigation or buttons at all on a screen such as this. How do I move either forward or back? [01:28] Rods_Tiger, Can you post a picture of where its stuck [01:28] I told you. The screen that says 'allocate drive space' [01:28] Rods_Tiger: Are you on a netbook or something with a small screen? [01:28] a netbook [01:28] normal screen [01:29] Rods_Tiger, this is the live cd? [01:29] Rods_Tiger: Then I think they're off the bottom - see bug 743324 [01:29] Launchpad bug 743324 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Allocate drive space window too large for netbook - can't get to buttons" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/743324 [01:29] live usb [01:29] oh. That's pretty useless [01:29] Rods_Tiger: Yeh, I hit it yesterday [01:29] bugger. Well, that's me fucked [01:30] How do I shut down and give up? [01:30] Rods_Tiger: I plugged in an external monitor; just ctrl-alt-del should do or hold down your power button [01:30] Rods_Tiger, try an alternate iso [01:30] Rods_Tiger: Could you comment on that bug to say you had the same thing please? [01:30] control alt delete does nothing. [01:31] I'll take the battery out. [01:31] Rods_Tiger: Hold the power button down for 10 seconds [01:31] ok [01:38] I'll try ubuntu again in a few weeks then, see if it's been designed properly by then. [01:38] Cheers [01:53] anyone know a workaround for fglrx install errors?

[15:05] ikonia: this computer is shared [15:05] dziadu: did you do the upgrade to 11.04 [15:06] i know it was updated some weeks ago because wee needed some newest version of some libs [15:06] dziadu: did you do the upgrade to 11.04 === cmagina-afk is now known as cmagina [15:08] ikonia: maybe it was me, I was doing some update something like month-two ago to newest version, it could be thait it was 11.04 [15:08] you don't know if you forced an update to the latest development release ? [15:08] What does lsb_release -a say? [15:09] Pici: 11.04 Natty [15:11] ikonia: yes, i was forcing to newest version, but I don't remember number, it could be 11.04 [15:11] my question is: can we do something with this or I should reinstall Ubuntu - and it is the fastest way? [15:11] you've got/had a lot of external repos and earlier versions in your sources file, I'm wondering how solid the upgrade has been [15:12] dziadu: if you can re-install it (more so after you messed trying to hack the glibc versions) I'd suggest it [15:12] ikonia: this external repos I need to install some packages [15:12] yes, but they are for earlier versions [15:13] i use this PC for some analysis, but software you have in official branch, like root-5.18 is so old that I was trying to fin something new [15:13] on the end I installed it from sources [15:13] by hand [15:18] ikonia: reisnatlling is an a option but then I destroy all my installed by hand packages, but if we can do nothing now... [15:30] ikonia: ok, I have fixed it, now I can play with apt-get [15:30] what did you do ? [15:30] ikonia: tell me one this - is glibc6 in natty broken currently? should I afraid to upgrade it? [15:30] ikonia: in fact I forget that mt glibc, which I install completely by hand is 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.7 [15:31] so I edited file 'status' and changed libc from 2.13-0ubuntu9 to coreect one [15:31] and then apt-get is working again but it tries again upgrade glibc [15:31] and because before it bored system then now I afraid to upgrade [15:32] because it seems that problems come from glibc [15:32] dziadu: I told you to do that ages ago, you said you had changed it back [15:37] ikonia: no no, oryginal status was 2.13-0ubuntu7, i was changing to 2.13-0ubuntu9 [15:37] it comes from lates glibc upgrade when it upgraded from 2.11 to 2.13 [15:38] now I set back version which I installed by hand [15:38] hi+ [15:38] hi [15:41] question === DSA is now known as LarsTorbenK [16:06] Hi all. Can someone tell me how to properly report a kernel bug? The latest version (2.6.38-7) will not activate the backlight on my laptop. Same goes for 2.6.38-6, however, 2.6.38-5 is fine. Thanks [16:07] P.S. I've googled this problem to death. I haven't had much lick [16:07] *luck [16:09] pwnsauce: run: ubuntu-bug linux, then fill in your details [16:09] Thanks pici. [16:11] Pici: Will this still work if I am running a different kernel version? Latest version is unusable currently [16:11] pwnsauce: eeh, I'm not sure actualyl. [16:11] Pici: I'll try it all the same. Thanks again [16:13] can you say if 2.6.39 comes in natty ? [16:15] AFAIK LarsTorbenK, 2.6.38 is the current kernel freeze. I'd personally expect to see 2.6.39 to be rolled out in natty's lifetime. [16:16] !info linux-image-generic [16:16] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.

[18:10] i keep closing terminal when i close firefox :( [18:11] Dr_Willis: it's kind of growing on me, and you can add menu items to the launchers to add extra features, I added a "New Terminal" option, although I suppose I could just use File/Open Terminal [18:22] is it just me or is natty so much quicker than maverick? [18:22] its you [18:23] its not ntty here [18:24] desktop cd, somewhere between 3 and 7 minutes to the desktop seems slow to me [18:26] lucky you ! I can't even get to desktop [18:26] heh.

[18:55] maybe purge was not a great idea [18:58] well, If I could affor a MacIntosh tube power amp, i'd buy one ...welcome to 1955 :) [18:58] eheh [19:02] ah nice to see that the Nepomuk indicator is shiped with Kubuntu Natty :) [19:06] Hi guys. Anybody know what Ubuntu 10.10 stops at grup with Sandy Bridge. No I am not using the internal GPU. [19:07] Grub ... sry [19:07] Onryo: join #ubuntu for 10.10 support [19:08] BUGabundo: could it be HD that is causing flash to be in fast forward? [19:08] eheh [19:08] no idea [19:09] that makes 2 of us. maybe tomarrow ill test the VGA cable [19:11] Sure I have tried dropping linux 2.6.38-7 fixed the x-stack with edgers ppa and some other stuff to make Compiz work. Not stable enough yet ... [19:12] That is on 10.10. Natty is really not stable enough to be a host for the VM environment Ill be using. Not to mention all the "Big kernel lock" fixes are not making life easy for any kind of hypervisor. === em is now known as emma [19:54] any known issues that gives problems when dist-upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04? figured maybe I'd take the leap when the beta arrives. === BajK|dinner is now known as BajK === cmagina is now known as cmagina-afk === BUGabundo is now known as BUGa_fewd [20:32] Trying to get natty up and running in a Virtual Box but the guest additions installer keeps complaining that I don't have the kernel headers installed. Tried to install them but apt says they are already the newest version. === BUGa_fewd is now known as BUGabundo [21:13] is it a feature that with an app maximised and the unity launcher autohides, when you put your mouse near it it appears faded until you move mouse all the way [21:14] basically, i just want it to appear full opacity when it does appear.. [21:17] mongy: in ccsm for unity there is an option on the experimental tab: Hide Animation, try setting it to just slide [21:18] gnn, now it slowly slides in lol [21:19] any way to just make it appear fully without putting mouse all the way in. this will do for now tho [21:20] mongy: don't know, I just disable hiding, much easier for me [21:21] on a netbook, very small screen [21:21] the difference with something like youtube webpage is, all the difference [21:25] nvm. i will get used to it. [21:26] QUESTION: I was wondering if there will be any support for SLI or Crossfire, for nVidia or ATI video cards in Natty? [21:35] BbluE, I'm running nvidia 8400gs on natty ..works well with the nvidia-current driver [21:39] guys, is there a way to set autohide to top panel? [21:43] seekandestroy, nope [21:44] no way also usign gconf? [21:44] Not that I know of [21:45] mmm [21:45] bad thing [21:47] BluesKaj, are you by chance running SLI? [21:49] BbluE, no just one nvidia card , one monitor [22:02] Ah, okay... thank you. [22:03] It's not really a necessity, it was just curiosity.. on whether or not that was something that they would have got working. [22:05] I have two systems, 1 with two nVidia 7600GS cards, 1 monitor & the other with two 9800 GT Superclocked cards. It seemed like something many talked about, but never got to completely work. [22:07] BbluE, I've heard of ppl getting 2 monitors working , but I'm not sure what the setups were [22:07] I need a tutorial for the new window manager [22:08] SLI, you would only use 1 monitor.. I've seen people use the dual monitors too.. and I've been quite curious with that as well. [22:08] philip_: here are the shortcuts that have been working - http://askubuntu.com/questions/28086/unity-keyboard-mouse-shortcuts/28087#28087 [22:14] charlie-tca: I actually need something even more basic than that. I can't find the "Preferences" application links. I guess I can do it from the terminal, but... [22:16] charlie-tca: nevermind. Your link answered my question :) [22:18] still, a simple tutorials page to ease ppl to Unity from gnome would be nice [22:21] How can I get a regular dpkg and apt-get at the natty alternate rescue prompt? [22:25] dajhorn: sudo apt-get update [22:26] or sudo apt-get whatever-you-need-to-do [22:26] charlie-tca: The natty dailies don't have apt-get. They just have udpkg. [22:27] Of course they have apt-get. I use it every day on the daily images [22:27] use a desktop cd, run as live desktop then [22:28] charlie-tca: The 20110328 daily doesn't have apt-get, just the deb for it in the /pool. [22:28] Maybe I have a dud daily build. [22:33] Greets all. [22:33] Question, is it true that natty uses xfce 4.8? [22:33] yes [22:34] I think I'm going natty beta then :) [22:37] read the release notes, and then just a update-manager -d [22:37] yeah [22:39] Eh the only note that gives me some pause is ticket 710961 I'll check it out first [22:39] bug 710961 [22:39] Launchpad bug 710961 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "[i945gm] Screen Corruption with new Xorg stack (dup-of: 717114)" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/710961 [22:39] Launchpad bug 717114 in X.Org X server "[i945gm] Screen Corruption with new Xorg stack with terminal programs" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/717114 [22:40] hm, looks like it should be fixed already [22:41] Ah true [23:01] hi [23:01] is this a good place to ask about the Natty nightlies? [23:02] I've downloaded the ISO and installed to a USB stick with usb-creator [23:02] but it doesn't work, it just sits at a black screen with a rectangle, a dot and a circle at the bottom [23:02] gordonjcp: So you don't get a boot menu? [23:03] nope, it goes straight to that [23:05] arand: isn't there some sort of menu? [23:05] what do the symbols mean, anyway? [23:06] Hmm, waht could be wrong is that either the downloaded image, or the written copy on the usb, was corrupted at some stage, try md5summing the downloaded file, and re-copying it to the stick, alternatively try to use a different copying tool ubuntu-usb-creator/unetbootin/use a CD. [23:06] unetbootin doesn't work [23:06] it just writes garbage to the stick [23:06] and I don't even know where I'd get a CD any more [23:07] I haven't had a machine with optical media for about ten years [23:07] well, games consoles aside [23:08] is there a way to get actual text out of it? [23:08] gordonjcp: And the screen you describe sounds like the usb might be garbage as well, there should be a screen with an "use keyboard to interact"-symbol [23:08] And if you press any key, the standard boot menu should appear [23:10] arand: okay, I don't know what I'm looking for there [23:10] there's a rectangle, a dot and a circle at the bottom [23:11] gordonjcp, hit the space bar [23:11] ah, there's the menu [23:11] wtf is this rectangle and circle thing then? [23:12] confusing... [23:13] Meant to convey "press keyboard to interact", otherwise system boots directly to the pre-installation choice screen [23:17] hm [23:17] I'm not sure how you're meant to guess that, but I'm a bit graphic-blind [23:17] it's like dyslexia but with graphics [23:18] incidentally it appeared to be dying because it was trying to mount root off the floppy drive; as a temporary fix I disconnected the floppy [23:18] It's supposed to look like a person inside a circle and a keyboard. [23:18] okay [23:19] how do I get the normal desktop? [23:19] gordonjcp, choose classic [23:20] It should be possible to just wait and let it boot, at which time you will be given an option of live session/install [23:20] Or do you mean the desktop/window manager? [23:20] yes, can I just have normal Gnome? [23:21] ^ His anwser is correct [23:21] At the login screen. [23:21] there isn't a login screen [23:22] If so, try logging out. [23:24] I did that and it appeared to just crash [23:25] right; thanks for all the help [23:25] it's too difficult to use [23:25] I'll stick with XFCE for now [23:29] hellooo folks [23:29] anyone have problems with rhythmbox in natty? [23:29] its not playing [23:30] im using Banshee works fine [23:30] is it the sound? or the codec? [23:30] or something else? [23:31] Scotty: banshee works fine for me to [23:31] but I want to use rhythmbox [23:32] hmm ok [23:33] just opening Rhythmbox and played a song, works fine on mine [23:44] You all have a good night, === cmagina-afk is now known as cmagina
