=== tschundeee_ is now known as tschundeee [00:41] hey i've written a really quick system to enable rating the song currently playing in banshee with a keystroke [00:41] if anyone's interested in playing with it it's here: https://github.com/briprowe/RateSongs [02:40] dear whoever knows, I cnt playback DVD's. Signed this guy. P.S. I have run install-css.sh [02:42] what version of Ubuntu, what video player is in use, are there errors, what are the symptoms (beyond something is broken) [02:42] 11.04 Alpha 3 all updates run with default movie player [02:43] error pops up regarding dvd is encrypted [02:44] never heard of this install-css.sh [02:44] where did you get it from? [02:45] * jameswf waits for someone else (no offense) [02:49] hey whatever, I watch pretty much everything on my Linux boxes (and have since before this was easy), if you want help from someone else thats fine [02:51] FWIW, you probably want libdvdread4, this is not Debian. [02:55] FWIW this is what install-css does thanks for playing [02:56] Hey al. [02:56] I have come for developer level help not newb tricks If it wwas something in the first 15 links on google I would not be here [02:56] I'm trying to upgrade to 11.04 and something has gone wrong... while instaling/configuring libpam, services where restarted including kdm, and my xorg session was restarted [02:57] Now I ps and I see python running a file in /tmp update manager, and that in turn is the parent of a dpkg stuck configuring libpam [02:57] I can't run dpkg (database locked) as root, and update manager fails saying the db is "corrupt"... is there any way I can recover the running update? [02:57] or should I kill the processes and rerun? [03:00] No tips? [03:04] I would rerun, but see if snyone else has advice. [03:04] jameswf: hey, I have been watching DVDs since Debian Slink without that script, you wanna be a jackass about it that is fine with me. [03:04] So kill the process first. yeah [03:06] protip Ubuntu is NOT Debian [03:06] meganerdca: drop it please [03:08] Hmm update manager kindly suggests apt-get install -f [03:09] so go to terminal and type sudo apt-get install -f [03:10] Yeah I'm doing it on a tty, to avoid troubles [03:10] ok [03:20] @Lars_G did the update work for you [03:22] so far it seems it ended correctly, let me restart xorg and test [03:26] ok [03:57] Ok one question... important one... where is the key for encrypted home dirs stored at? [04:39] Sigh ok I think I've not lost my cryptfs or key [04:40] Now I just need to find out why the system wont even boot in rescue mode :) [04:40] And if I mount my home, backup FIRST thing I do === LjL-Temp` is now known as LjL-Temp === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest17328 === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero [06:20] so flash is not working for me :/ [06:21] no problem [06:21] not for you I guess [06:22] was being sarcastic [06:22] switch to gnash [06:23] rww: speaking of gnash, does it run youtube at it's and youtube's current version? [06:23] remind me how [06:23] hifi: probably not [06:24] if it doesn't work for youtube what is the point [06:25] err [06:25] I am not content with this situation at all [06:26] you shouldn't be running natty if you're not content with broken system [06:26] true [06:27] youtube with html5 enabled works [06:27] good enough === badmin is now known as Guest23953 === Guest23953 is now known as admiralf === Guest17328 is now known as LjL-Temp === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest22990 === Guest22990 is now known as LjL-Temp === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest82081 [08:41] Why does '~$ uname -a' produce 3 times in a row "i686"?

[12:26] zniavre: how [12:29] I am trying out Natty right now, but the unity desktop wouldn' t boot with my mobility radeon X300, so i put in nomodeset in grub. I boots now, but it uses the vesa driver. If I specify the radeon driver in xorg.conf, compiz-check says it is using the software rasterizer. Any more ideas to pursue? [12:30] jml, http://i.imgur.com/5Qxbl.png screenshot is more clear than my english [12:33] thofke: When you say it wouldn't boot, how far did it get? [12:43] seems that a GAS error made a build fail. cna it be re-attempted? [12:53] anyone ever had the unity launcher get stuck out ? [12:53] it wont hide for me. [12:54] its set to autohide. but it doesn't go away [12:54] it was working, then something made it stop [12:54] hmm... it seems to have issues with mumble [13:00] hi :) I want to upgrade a maverick install to natty. I use 'update-manager -d', and after a long while waiting during the "evaluating changes" job, the upgrade is refused. What's the way around ? [13:00] it says the cause could be "Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu" which is the case, but there surely is a way [13:00] Elephantman: could you please file a bugreport with the logs in /var/log/dist-upgrade/* ? [13:00] Elephantman: usually its some dependency that can not be resolved [13:01] ok, I'll do that [13:15] hi === yofel_ is now known as yofel [13:24] I'm having problems with unity and my external monitor.

[14:15] BUGabundo: 7 question marks in a row are 6 too many. [14:16] Is it possible to find out why I have a couple lib packages that have been held back for more than a week now? [14:17] bullgard4: and too many opened windows too === BUGabundo is now known as BUGa_jobIntervie [14:19] cjohnston: You can try to do that by using packages. ubuntu.com and finding out the dependencies. [14:19] launchpad will be better at that [14:27] I have a lot of packages in synaptic marked as "Installed (manual)". Is that normal? [14:34] papagno, installed from the live-cd [14:34] BluesKaj, Yes, I installed from the alpha3 cd [14:35] BluesKaj, but I had the same problem after the upgrade from 10.10 [14:35] yes papagno that's normal, it's not a problem afaik [14:36] BluesKaj, ok, thank you [14:37] papagno, np [14:56] Hi. I did a partial upgade and it downloaded all but about 10 files out of 500 plus. The rest are getting 404 and my upgrade stops. Any info? [14:57] ryan_46: Do an update again [14:57] ryan_46: There are probably newer versions of some of the files now [14:58] Well I have several times done it but it is just sticking to the same result. [14:58] I can paste the files. [14:58] which files are 404ing - use pastebin [14:59] OK I pasted [15:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/587368/ [15:00] ryan_46, do you have any ppas still enabled from maverick , if so disable them and update agin [15:00] I don't know. Will check. [15:01] ryan_46: There's a slightly newer version there now; do an apt-get update and then try again [15:02] penguin42: Will do. Thanks [15:02] Thanks all :) [15:04] Hi, after some updates today on natty Flash doesn't work and I get this error when I try to reinstall: http://pastebin.com/bzZWHiXL Any idea what may be wrong? [15:09] hey everyone [15:09] probably not the first to ask this [15:09] but any suggestions on how to fix the flash issue? [15:10] lol Just asked the sam question a few minutes ago [15:10] 64bit 11.04 is giving "no appropriate viewer found for /usr/lub/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so [15:10] same even [15:10] is there a way to get the classic alt+tab with unity running ? [15:10] yeah... [15:11] undergrounDinosa: I get this http://pastebin.com/bzZWHiXL [15:11] it seems like some things were removed from ia32-libs... any way to roll back its version? [15:13] force version is grayed out in synaptic [15:13] otherwise this would be trivial [15:14] undergrounDinosa, sudo install flashplugin-installer ..does it give errors too? [15:14] apt-get thatis [15:14] yes, like I said, it seems to be an issue caused by ia32-libs [15:14] if I can roll that back to an older version, say from a day or two ago, I am confident it would fix the problem [15:15] undergrounDinosa: You can always look in /var/cache/apt/archives for the previous .deb and use dpkg -i on it [15:16] I will try that right now [15:18] sudo dpkg -i /var/vache/apt/archives/ia32-libs_20090808ubuntu9_amd64.deb FOLLOWED BY sudo apt-get -f install [15:18] problem fixed [15:19] thank you for the help genii-around [15:19] alt-tab in compiz is really annoying on multi-screen [15:19] hi :) I'm running natty, seems like nspluginwrapper is broken [15:19] lol [15:19] sudo dpkg -i /var/vache/apt/archives/ia32-libs_20090808ubuntu9_amd64.deb FOLLOWED BY sudo apt-get -f install [15:19] fixes that problem [15:19] if anyone can sticky this [15:20] you will probably be getting a ton of these questions today [15:20] where can I get the deb ? [15:20] should be in that cache [15:20] whoops [15:21] vache = cache [15:21] oops lol [15:21] Unless you've run sudo apt-get clean ;) [15:21] yeah [15:23] was ubuntu10 in my case, and doesn't resolve the issue [15:23] genii-around: thanks for your help [15:23] right, the latest update was ubuntu10 [15:23] but you should have an ubuntu9 in your cache [15:23] undergrounDinosa: You're welcome [15:24] ok, no I did run an apt-get clean, I'll go and get that back [15:24] Fireboy: want me to put it in my dropbox so you can download it? or already have a place in mind? [15:25] yeah I can do with that, packages.ubuntu doesn't seem to show it up [15:26] k, give me a bit... [15:26] google seems more efficient than internal search, got the file [15:26] You can get the older ia32 here if cache is empty: http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/universe/i/ia32-libs/ia32-libs_20090808ubuntu9_amd64.deb [15:27] awesome, even better === DJones is now known as djones [15:33] doesn't seem to resolve the problem for me [15:33] there is already a bug about datetime-indicator calendar and evolution not installed, causes the indicator calendar is not working well ? [15:34] You need to restart the browser [15:34] ceed^: it worked for you I take it? [15:35] undergrounDinosa: Sure did [15:35] ceed^: awesome [15:35] yay! :) [15:35] install of nspluginwrapper fails, so browser restart wont change much [15:37] Fireboy: I used Synaptic to remove and reinstall Flash. I do not know if that makes a difference. [15:37] flash is already removed, that shouldn't affect the issue [15:38] sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree? [15:38] Hi. My upgrade finished in terminal. Should I do apt-get clean before rebooting? [15:38] does nothing, it's not there [15:39] what command did you run and what did it do? [15:39] flashplugin-nonfree is a transitional package, touching that won't do anything [15:39] flashplugin-installer is the right flash package [15:40] not there either, I used apt-get remove flash* just to be sure ;) [15:40] try reinstalling nspluginwrapper then [15:41] well, remove+purge then reinstall [15:41] this strictly aprob on 64bit systems , correct? [15:41] BluesKaj: yes, as it seems to be a ia32-libs issue [15:42] undergrounDinosa: no success [15:42] ubuntu11 was just uploaded which is supposed to fix this [15:42] who wants to try 11? [15:42] I'll give it a go [15:42] k [15:42] cant break it further :) [15:43] true, lol [15:43] got an url around ? [15:43] ok thanks, yofel [15:43] alt+f2, "update-manager -d" I imagine [15:44] Fireboy: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/20090808ubuntu11/+buildjob/2417297 [15:44] BluesKaj: 11 fixed it for you? [15:45] i'm still running 32 bit here , undergrounDinosa [15:45] ah, ok [15:45] * yofel doesn't use 32bit flash so can't test it [15:46] I mistakenly installed 32 bit on lucid and never bothered to change :) [15:46] yofel: nspluginwrapper still doesn't install [15:46] what's the exact error that you get? [15:47] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [15:47] only 3G and 2G Ram pcs here, so I don't it really makes any performance diffs [15:47] think [15:48] Fireboy: can you pastebin the whole apt-get install output? [15:48] yofel: what's the command to get the output in english again ? [15:48] Fireboy: did you try running sudo apt-get -f install? [15:49] Fireboy: sudo LANG=C apt-get ... I think [15:49] undergrounDinosa: I did, same error [15:49] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/362664/ [15:52] hm, no idea why it would crash there... [15:53] does 'sudo nspluginwrapper -a -v -u' cash too? [15:53] he needs to get rid of those directories [15:53] *crash [15:53] * BluesKaj hates that pastebin.com site that uses flash , I can't zoom to read the text on thei slarge monitor [15:53] and let the installers try to rebuild them [15:53] this large monitor [15:54] yofel: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/362667/ [15:54] seems ok [15:54] o.O [15:54] yeah [15:54] destroy those directories [15:54] make sure firefox is closed [15:54] http://pastebin.com/bzZWHiXL..like this one [15:54] uninstall flash [15:55] launch firefox, check about:plugins to make sure it is gone [15:55] Fireboy: does 'dpkg --compare-versions "1.2.2-0ubuntu8" lt "1.2.2-0ubuntu5"' crash? [15:55] close firefox again [15:55] destroy the directories [15:55] install [15:55] be happy [15:55] undergrounDinosa: his issue has nothing to do with flash it seems [15:55] removing the folder resolved the issue [15:55] really o.O? [15:55] yofel: spoke too soon? [15:56] * yofel gives up on understanding dpkg... [15:56] lol [15:56] yeah, weird [15:56] actually I've been using chrome and I like it except for the crappy fonts on the bookmarkbar and tas [15:56] fixed now, flash working [15:56] hey, was there a change somewhere in the flash -plugin thing? [15:56] LOL [15:56] I'm telling you [15:56] this needs to get stickied [15:56] ^^ [15:56] no browser is capable of flash anymore since today, is there a fix? [15:57] redd.it/gepwu [15:57] go there [15:57] I wrote out the instructions [15:57] or full link: http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/gepwu/for_those_of_you_running_1104_who_had_flash_stop/ [15:57] oha, thanks a lot!!! [15:57] no problem [16:03] undergrounDinosa: i dont have that ia32libs... and the downloadlink you posted seems not to work [16:03] works for me [16:03] just clicked it [16:03] http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/universe/i/ia32-libs/ia32-libs_20090808ubuntu9_amd64.deb [16:03] try again? [16:04] hm.. opera did not want to do it =) [16:04] ah, ok [16:06] i can not install that file... I have a later version ("20090808ubuntu10_amd64.deb") installed... [16:06] sudo dpkg -i [16:07] or hell [16:07] put it where the instructions say [16:07] and then you can run the exact code I mentioned [16:09] /proc/sys/kernel/domainname has teh entry "(none)". What programs fill this file with a nontrivial entry? [16:13] is it a xenism or some container thing? [16:13] or is it actually dns? [16:14] hmm maybe nis domain? [16:15] undergrounDinosa: after I did what you said flash did still not work, I tried update+upgrade and the installed "20090808ubuntu9_amd64.deb" was just replaced with the new "20090808ubuntu10_amd64.deb" one... [16:15] you closed your browser before? [16:15] or restarted your browser? [16:15] 11 is in the repo now [16:16] also ubuntu10 is the one that is the problem [16:16] y, closed and restarted... [16:16] ok, i will try the 11 one [16:16] check it in synaptic [16:16] see if your mirror has 11 yet [16:19] nice and easy, the 11 version fixed it, 1000 thanks ;)= [16:19] awesome [17:30] i just ran a quick natty test (with the current daily live cd) [17:31] is it know that compiz is very crashy on gma videocards? i have a x4000 something [17:32] almost any menu interaction would cause it to crash (but i didnt have the required internet connection to report it, and apport doesnt support saving to file for later uploading [17:32] once compiz crashed i would lose the top bar with the clock on it [17:41] Tetsuo55: you can file a bug against compiz at launchpad.net give as much info as you can on your hardware and such. [17:41] also steps to reproduce the crash [17:42] steps are easy [17:43] click anywhere [17:43] haha [17:48] Tetsuo55: also, apport keeps all crashes in /var/crash, file them when you have the required connection [17:48] that wont workf for a live cd will it [17:48] ? [17:49] looks like my connection is still really bad. the speed test link someone gave me yesterday i no longer have anyone know it by chance? [17:49] ah no, unless you save them [17:49] http://speedtest.net/ [17:50] saving is impossible once compiz crashes [17:50] so thats a bit hopeless [17:50] ill do more serious testing later and make sure i have a wireless connection available then [17:50] there is or at least was a bug on reporting crashes using the crash log in /var/crash. apport was crashing while trying. i filied a bug on it but i cant get a damn site to open [17:51] and compiz is known to crash also bug on that [17:52] thanks for the link yofel. once i get to my bug list ill give the bug numbers [17:53] heh, well, I filed my own bug on compiz crashing [17:53] and apport can't seem to retrace it -.- [17:56] * gnomefreak getting the hint i need to call my isp [18:03] well it seems my compiz crashing bug 737667 is fixed [18:03] Launchpad bug 737667 in compiz (Ubuntu) "Compiz keeps crashing in Unity" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/737667 [18:04] oops that was my fault since it hasnt happened [18:14] bye :) [18:16] ok this is starting to piss me off now [18:20] any particular thing? [18:23] penguin42: my connection is very slow and unstable as hell [18:25] ah [18:31] i think im back at least if i can manage to stop closing irssi [18:32] i lost all the controls on term window. well i can close min and max but that is it nothing in upper panel other than file>close [18:34] maybe dbus died? [19:08] I have ubuntu 10.10 installed using gnome. What will happen if i upgrade to 11.4 when it is released ? Will gnome also be replaced to unity? [19:14] Asad2005: classic gnome is still there even on a clean install of natty, you can select it on the login screen [19:26] trism: So it safe to upgrade and it will stay gnome and can be changed to unity if i wish [19:26] Asad2005: Its my understanding that legacy upgrades will use the desktop environment that they were using in the past. [19:26] Yes. [19:26] ok thanks [20:15] upgrade to natty via 'do-release-upgrade -d' failed horribly. just a dark purple screen upon reboot :( [20:31] pmatulis: Can you get into grub by holding shift down? [20:32] * ceed^ is not going to ask why Flash doesn't work...:) [20:52] hey all [21:36] evening folks [21:37] evening [21:37] either my eyes are sharper or something has changed with the fonts (kubuntu natty) :) [21:44] hey guys, could you please help me to fix my geforce card [21:44] I have a geforce fx 5200 [21:44] I activated the driver that ubuntu offered me [21:44] everything else of nvidia is deleted from the synapticmanager [21:44] glxgears work [21:45] but [21:45] the desktopeffects dont work and the flash videos has a slow framrate [22:31] any way to preview the beta 1 release notes before tomorrow ? [22:41] levitta: do it the hard way: install it, and experience it yourself ;-) [22:43] well, yeah, the point is I'd rather check the release notes and see if there's any major bug likely to render my computer unusable [22:43] I don't mind a few bugs here and there and I'm happy to help track them down and report them, but I don't have the time to debug a major bug / reinstall ubuntu [22:43] i've been running the alpha's and updating daily [22:44] no major problems here [22:44] alright, cool [22:44] i'm running the kubuntu flavour [22:44] ubuntu might be a bit more tricky with the new shell [22:44] the synaptics stuff seems annoying [22:45] ? [22:45] yeah, I don't intend to use it. :) [22:45] the alpha 3 release notes mentioned that touchpads could have the wrong speed [22:45] didn't have any problems with that on my laptop [22:46] on the desktop atm [22:47] kubuntu runs fine here too, unity gives me only a compiz crash, and synaptics has a bit odd two finger scrolling here, but works cool most of the time [22:47] Q: How to generate a random string? [22:47] A: Put a fresh student in front of vi and tell him to quit. [22:47] LOL [22:47] nice one :] [22:48] hi [22:48] i teach in gymnasium and i have 18 computers i try use oneconf but it don't work in ubuntu 10.10 if this work just in 11.04? [23:23] is there a set time for beta 1 being released, like is it at 12.01 EST ? [23:23] no [23:23] Normally releases happen before 23:59 UTC on the scheduled release day [23:34] charlie-tca, lol well, ok [23:35] :( [23:36] ahah [23:47] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8To-6VIJZRE [23:47] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8To-6VIJZRE
