[01:20] <Daekdroom> Well, I better check if I have a Ubuntu 11.04 CD in case this update goes awry.
[13:32] <BlouBlou> I have a lot of free time and I want to test new Ubuntu. If I install the new alpha, will I need to reinstall the whole system due to errors and fails ?
[13:53] <charlie-tca> possible
[13:53] <charlie-tca> BlouBlou: development versions are not stable and subject to breaking often
[13:54] <charlie-tca> Depending on your hardware and needs, it is possible to have the system unusable many days
[13:58] <JanC> it's best to keep at least one system around with a stable release, just in case...  ;)
[13:59] <JanC> especially if you need a working computer for job/school/etc.
[14:12] <BlouBlou> charlie-tca, JanC: Okay, I'll wait then :)
[14:13] <JanC> BlouBlou: you can also try dual booting or a VM of course
[14:13] <JanC> or if you have swappable disks, that's another solution
[14:15] <JanC> oh, and checking the backlog of this channel and some of the developer channels before upgrading packages also helps  ;)
[18:36] <penguin42> hmm I'm getting a bit of screen corruption on Oneiric ubuntu-2d in a natty kvm guest
[19:38] <BUGabundo> bjsnider: want to maintain another ppa? http://www.syncany.org/
[19:38]  * BUGabundo hides

[20:12] <BUGabundo> in an hurry?
[20:12] <BUGabundo> there +2 in a repo
[20:12] <BUGabundo> I just saw it
[20:12] <BUGabundo> p-series
[20:12] <Ian_Corne> i want my windows to not fullschreen under the launcher anymore
[20:12] <Ian_Corne> what are you talking about BUGabundo ?
[20:13] <BUGabundo> http://archive.canonical.com/dists/p-series/
[20:15] <Ian_Corne> what's that? :p
[20:17] <BUGabundo> +2
[20:18] <charlie-tca> and I was just hoping to get +1 working
[20:21] <BluesKaj> howdy , how goes the graphics with the new kernel version 3.0-1 ?
[20:22] <BUGabundo> BluesKaj: wfm
[20:23] <BluesKaj> wfm? , BUGabundo
[20:24] <BluesKaj> or do you mean rfm :)
[20:24] <BUGabundo> works for me
[20:24] <BluesKaj> BUGabundo, ok which graphics card?
[20:24] <BUGabundo> nvidia
[20:24] <BUGabundo> 8400
[20:25] <BluesKaj> heh, mine's a 8400gs
[20:25] <BUGabundo> mine is mG
[20:25] <BUGabundo> laptop
[20:25] <BluesKaj> it broke on kernel 3.0-0
[20:26] <bjsnider> BUGabundo, their development team should create their own ubuntu packages
[20:26] <BUGabundo> Linux BluBUG 3.0-1-generic #2-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 15 20:28:47 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[20:26] <BUGabundo> bjsnider: :(
[20:26] <BUGabundo> I couldn't install it on my lappy
[20:26] <BUGabundo> no sun JDK
[20:27] <BluesKaj> BUGabundo, are desktop effects still disabled on the new kernel ?
[20:27] <BUGabundo> were they EVER enabled?
[20:28] <BUGabundo> I haven't seen composite since natty
[20:29] <BluesKaj> they were in the previous one, 2.6.38-8
[20:32] <BluesKaj> oh well, guess I'll wait til the OS is more mature ..I need 3D and DIR for some of my apps
[20:42] <dupondje> Language is broken in Oneiric? Or did I forgot to install something ?
[20:42] <dupondje> cause my desktop is English :)
[21:47] <genii-around> When using plasma-netbook with pager widget.. it seems like virtual desktop 1 is somehow perhaps running unity on it but the others aren't
[21:47] <genii-around> At least the desktop for it
[23:24] <GordonFreeman> is there a general chat for #ubuntu?
[23:25] <GordonFreeman> I want to ask a couple of things about unity and stuff, but I don't think my questions fall under the "support terms"
[23:26] <GordonFreeman> for instance, is unity able to switch to a diff window manager, or is it all like gnome3 where everything is tightly integrated?
[23:26] <charlie-tca> This is for discussion of the next version
[23:26] <charlie-tca> If you are running Oneiric, we can try to answer questions
[23:27] <charlie-tca> yes, gnome3 is going to be usable
[23:29] <GordonFreeman> sorry, I'm not running any ubuntu, I'm just looking for a good set of options :)
[23:30] <GordonFreeman> I'm a prospective ubuntu user on this machine :P
[23:31] <GordonFreeman> but ya, I guess it does seem silly asking in here, I'll ask in the main channel then, thanks
