| guest_ | Hey anyone awake here? | 04:33 |
|---|---|---|
| guest_ | #ubuntu isnt helping and i just need to know the command to remove Light gdm please. It keeps crashing and wont let me login to my normal account | 04:35 |
| vish | guest_: light dm? are you on Oneiric? probably try in #ubuntu+1 | 04:44 |
| guest_ | vish, im using 11.04 | 04:44 |
| vish | guest_: then how are you using lightDM? | 04:44 |
| guest_ | installed the ppa | 04:44 |
| vish | ! | 04:44 |
| guest_ | :/ i know | 04:44 |
| guest_ | lol | 04:44 |
| vish | ;p | 04:44 |
| guest_ | it just refuses to login into my main name | 04:45 |
| guest_ | i can only use a guest account | 04:45 |
| guest_ | so idk how to remove it without sudo :/ or atleast make gdm main again | 04:45 |
| vish | guest_: try ppa purge, and hopefully it should reinstall the gdm | 04:45 |
| vish | !ppapurge | 04:46 |
| ubot4 | Factoid 'ppapurge' not found | 04:46 |
| vish | hmm.. | 04:46 |
| vish | !ppa-purge | 04:46 |
| ubot4 | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 04:46 |
| guest_ | can i do this all from a guest account? | 04:47 |
| vish | guest_: i dont think so.. but if you know your admin password maybe. | 04:48 |
| guest_ | i do, but it wont use sudo | 04:48 |
| guest_ | hmm, plus i wouldnt even know where the subdirectory would be for lightdm anyway | 04:49 |
| guest_ | lol | 04:49 |
| guest_ | i guess im screwed... | 04:49 |
| vish | guest_: lesson of the day, "dont screw with core components" ;p | 04:49 |
| guest_ | vish, it was running so well too! (until the most recent update) | 04:50 |
| guest_ | vish, is there a way to access the files under that account? i just want to save my music | 04:52 |
| vish | guest_: try from LiveCD or LiveUSB.. | 04:52 |
| guest_ | vish, can it be a disk from 10.10? | 04:53 |
| vish | guest_: yup, should work.. (but we are really off-topic on this channel..) | 04:54 |
| guest_ | vish, yes. im sorry no one in #ubuntu was helping. (btw this is chewyTree if you are wondering) im part of the bug squad :D. thanks for the help | 04:55 |

| coalwater | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/787600 i just want to make sure the bug watch i added is correct.. is it ? | 06:52 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 787600 in nautilus (Debian) (and 1 other project) "Clicking the active tab in the unactive pane doesn't switch panes (nautilus) (affects: 2) (heat: 14)" [Unknown,Unknown] | 06:52 |
| vish | coalwater: nope.. you should select "Also affects project" not distro.. | 06:53 |
| coalwater | i felt so, ok i'll fix it | 06:54 |
| coalwater | how do i delete it :D | 06:54 |
| vish | coalwater: you can't delete the debian task, after you open the Gnome project task, just close debian task as invalid (with a comment).. | 06:55 |
| coalwater | hm can't find gnome-project | 06:57 |
| coalwater | gnome project or w/e | 06:57 |
| vish | coalwater: click the "also affects project" and select/search "Nautilus" | 06:58 |
| vish | (you have forwarded the bug to Gnome bugzilla) | 06:59 |
| coalwater | ok, so i just put nautilus, without a link to the other bug ? | 07:00 |
| vish | coalwater: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Watches | 07:02 |
| coalwater | yea, that's the link that's already confusing me lol | 07:02 |
| vish | coalwater: specifically » https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Watches#Watching_Another_Project | 07:02 |
| vish | coalwater: just add the upstream link in the options you get after you choose Nautilus | 07:03 |
| coalwater | ok, i didn't know it's 2 different pages, was expecting the url thing to be in the same page | 07:03 |
| coalwater | now invalid to the deb one ? | 07:03 |
| vish | coalwater: yup.. | 07:04 |
| coalwater | how, doesn't let me change it | 07:04 |
| vish | coalwater: hmm, wait it's not a simple change, I'll do that for you.. | 07:04 |
| coalwater | ty | 07:05 |
| coalwater | when ur done could u do little explaining :D | 07:05 |
| vish | coalwater: I first had to remove the bugwatch for the debian task and then had to close it.. (I wasn't sure you had those options available to you..) | 07:07 |
| vish | coalwater: also, could you comment the Launchpad bug number/link in the upstream bug? it would be easy if easy for others to check in both places | 07:09 |
| coalwater | ok | 07:09 |
| coalwater | on the add bug url ? or just a comment | 07:10 |

| vish | i'm not noticing the problem in Maverick.. | 07:12 |
| coalwater | natty | 07:12 |
| vish | coalwater: ok, so thats another you can add in the comment as well.. | 07:13 |
| coalwater | on which bug | 07:13 |
| vish | coalwater: upstream is more necessary | 07:13 |
| coalwater | so i mention my os version or mention that it doesn't apply on urs | 07:15 |
| vish | coalwater: your(broken) version is important when reporting the bug | 07:17 |

| coalwater | what's the difference between it and this https://launchpad.net/~bugsquad-mentorship | 07:29 |
| vish | coalwater: nothing, the alpha one is the new group, you apply to bugsquad mentorship and we add you to the alpha one.. | 07:30 |
| coalwater | so do i need to apply on the wiki page first | 07:31 |
| vish | coalwater: no, just read the wiki page, "How To Request a Mentor" | 07:32 |
| coalwater | vish, is there a place that lists the packages that i might be interested in, just to have a look at what's available | 07:35 |

| bil21al | i want to report the home folder bug what should i run in terminal ??? and one more question | 19:08 |
| abhinav- | bil21al: just curious, what do you mean by bug in home ? | 19:23 |
| bil21al | i have bug in home folder when ever i open my home folder the mose begins to rotate seems like it is loding some thing .. | 19:25 |
| bil21al | the mouse option is begins to rotate like somthing is loading | 19:26 |
| abhinav- | is that happening only with your home directory or all the directories ? | 19:27 |
| bil21al | with home only | 19:27 |
| abhinav- | for example if you run "nautilus /etc/" in terminal, then ? | 19:28 |
| bil21al | if i open it from terminal than its right but when i open it from home folder then it happens | 19:29 |
| bil21al | like it happens when i open it from launcher icon | 19:30 |
| coalwater | so nautilus ~/ is ok right? | 19:30 |
| bil21al | ok | 19:30 |
| abhinav- | and the mouse pointer does not change to normal at all ? like after sometime ? | 19:32 |
| bil21al | yes yes,, | 19:32 |
| bil21al | its about for 30 sec or more | 19:32 |
| abhinav- | might be the case you are running out of space in your /home partition (assuming you have a separate /home) ? | 19:33 |
| coalwater | maybe he can paste his df | 19:34 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| bil21al | no i have to much space in my home folder | 19:35 |
| bil21al | its in 11.10 | 19:36 |
| coalwater | u have it installed or is it a live cd | 19:36 |
| bil21al | no there is no cd | 19:38 |
| hggdh | what is the size of the home folder? Run, on a terminal, 'du -sh', and report the output | 19:38 |
| bil21al | hggdh cannot read directory | 19:39 |
| hggdh | actually, ' du -sh ~' | 19:39 |
| bil21al | ok i again check it | 19:40 |
| hggdh | bil21al: pleas post on pastebin the command and complete output -- http://pastebin.ubuntu.com -- and then post the link here | 19:40 |
| coalwater | du won't really tell how much free space , just how much occupied space | 19:41 |
| hggdh | indeed. One step at a time ;-) | 19:41 |
| coalwater | ok :D | 19:41 |
| coalwater | btw, i applied for bug mentorship, i liked the UDW session :P | 19:42 |
| hggdh | coalwater: :-) | 19:43 |
| bil21al | hggh see this out put | 19:44 |
| bil21al | du-sh~: command not found | 19:44 |
| bil21al | bil21al@bil21al-ThinkPad-T60:/$ du -sh~ | 19:44 |
| bil21al | du: invalid option -- '~' | 19:44 |
| bil21al | Try `du --help' for more information. | 19:44 |
| hggdh | coalwater: but, as I stated there, you do not really need the mentorship, easier to hang on this channel & ask questions when you are in doubt | 19:44 |
| hggdh | bil21al: try: "cd; du -sh" | 19:44 |
| coalwater | i dont know i got little confused adding a bug watch today | 19:44 |
| hggdh | bil21al: er. there has to be a space between -sh and ~ | 19:45 |
| coalwater | u need to put space | 19:45 |
| bil21al | 1.4gb | 19:45 |
| coalwater | yea | 19:45 |
| yofel | launchpad isn't allways intuitive. So feel free to ask questions abou the UI ;) | 19:45 |
| bil21al | out put is 1.4GB | 19:45 |
| yofel | #launchpad can help you too if something seems broken | 19:45 |
| hggdh | not really big... mine, for example, is ~ 25G | 19:45 |
| coalwater | yea, im around the same too | 19:46 |
| coalwater | if launchpad doesn't give me my karma in the next couple of days im gonna stop doing launchpad work :D | 19:46 |
| bil21al | but here in pakistan hard disk are so costly so that way but it not hapen in 11.04 | 19:46 |
| bil21al | yofel my karma is not increasing | 19:47 |
| yofel | hey, we don't work for karma! (well, we do sometimes :P) and it takes a day or two sometimes until the karma gets updated | 19:47 |
| coalwater | mine is frozen since like 5 days :( | 19:47 |
| brendand | no, it's broken | 19:47 |
| brendand | it's not been updated since it got skipped when they made lp read-only when karma was supposed to be updated | 19:48 |
| yofel | ah, I've got more karma than I need so didn't notice ^^ | 19:48 |
| hggdh | bil21al: so. You open Nautilus against your home dir, and you get the rotating pointer. Does it stop rotating? | 19:48 |
| coalwater | but for me it stopped just when i really started to work hard lol | 19:48 |
| yofel | coalwater: added yourself to 5-a-day yet? That's a nicer statistic and karma IMO | 19:48 |
| yofel | s/and/than/ | 19:49 |
| * hggdh just found karma's low... | 19:49 | |
| hggdh | not that I really care ;-) | 19:49 |
| bil21al | yes it stops rotation after 30, to 40 sec hggdh | 19:49 |
| coalwater | yofel, i don't know, i think i could start with 1 a day lol | 19:49 |
| yofel | coalwater: you'll show up here then ;) http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/five-a-day/ | 19:49 |
| penguin42 | don't think I actually manage to do 5 a day that often | 19:51 |
| yofel | vish is still the overlord taking first and second place | 19:51 |
| coalwater | 5 a day means triage 5 bugs a day? | 19:51 |
| yofel | coalwater: roughly yes, it counts the mails that are sent out from your work (filing bugs doesn't count) | 19:51 |
| bil21al | has any body having this problem ,https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/modemmanager/+bug/811612 | 19:53 |

| coalwater | i'll need someone to hold my hand and show me how to do that step by step | 19:53 |
| yofel | coalwater: IIRC you only need a public mail address on launchpad and need to join the team | 19:54 |
| yofel | see the link at the top of the statistics page | 19:54 |
| coalwater | there, im in the 5 a day thing lol, now i need to actually find 5 too easy ones that even i could do | 19:56 |
| hggdh | bil21al: it does not really seem like a bug... run 'ls -R ~ | wc -l', please, and report the number it will print at the end | 19:58 |
| bil21al | i run ls -R than to much detail came but wc -l dosent do any thing | 20:01 |
| coalwater | hggdh, what's wc? | 20:02 |
| coalwater | counts lines huh | 20:02 |
| coalwater | nice | 20:02 |
| hggdh | coalwater: wc counts the lines, words, and chars (actually, bytes) in a file | 20:02 |
| bil21al | now what i do?? hggdh | 20:03 |
| hggdh | so 'wc -l' will count the number of lines in a file (mind you, a line ends with a LF) | 20:03 |
| coalwater | i think he didn't use the pipe | 20:03 |
| hggdh | bil21al: 'ls -R ~ | wc -l' | 20:04 |
| hggdh | I agree | 20:04 |
| hggdh | bil21al: mind the spaces and symbols in the above command | 20:04 |
| coalwater | hggdh, i always needed something that does wc, i usually try to silly hacks using grep lol | 20:05 |
| coalwater | so brendand , any idea when launchpad is getting it's full functionality back ? | 20:06 |
| hggdh | heh. The beauty of Linux (UNIX, in general) is that there is usually a hack already written to do so something. The bane of Linux is there are a *LOT* of them... | 20:06 |
| hggdh | coalwater: probably very soon. The LP folks really care about it | 20:06 |
| coalwater | i've noticed there's quite some bugs reports about changing karma system and karma listing page and such, is this part of the reason ? | 20:07 |
| bil21al | hggdh when i run wc -l than no out put is comming cursor is blinking but no out put | 20:08 |
| coalwater | bil21al, u need to write the whole thing on the same line | 20:08 |
| yofel | bil21al: did you use the pipe? | 20:08 |
| hggdh | bil21al: please post *exact* command you issued | 20:08 |
| bil21al | no | 20:08 |
| hggdh | <sigh/> | 20:08 |
| bil21al | ok sorry i try again | 20:08 |
| coalwater | hggdh, u think a high files count might cause this ? | 20:09 |
| coalwater | wouldn't it just scan 1 level ? | 20:09 |
| coalwater | i mean it ( nautilus ) | 20:09 |
| bil21al | hggdh 539 | 20:10 |
| bil21al | out put is 539 | 20:10 |
| hggdh | coalwater: it could -- nautilus will scan the dirs | 20:12 |
| hggdh | bil21al: and what was the command you ran? | 20:12 |
| coalwater | mine is 13300 :D lol | 20:12 |
| hggdh | coalwater: the '-R' on 'ls' means it will recurse on all subdirectories | 20:13 |
| coalwater | yea :P | 20:13 |
| bil21al | i run ls -R ~ | wc -l | 20:13 |
| coalwater | it kind annoys me that some use -r and some -R | 20:13 |
| coalwater | mind he's running the alpha2 probably | 20:14 |
| hggdh | yes, there is a lack of coherence, but everybody is already using the options as they are for the last 40 years, difficult to change | 20:14 |
| bil21al | yes i m using 11.10 | 20:14 |
| hggdh | bil21al: all your home is local? Or would you have some remote filesystems loaded also? | 20:15 |
| bil21al | no no i hav not loaded any filesystem | 20:17 |
| hggdh | well, this is a bit weird, then. | 20:19 |
| bil21al | hmm | 20:20 |
| bil21al | what i do | 20:20 |
| bil21al | now | 20:20 |
| bil21al | ? | 20:20 |
| bil21al | report a bug or not | 20:20 |
| bil21al | ? | 20:21 |
| hggdh | bil21al: you *could* report a bug. But, right now, I would rather have you opening a question on askubuntu.com, or ubuntuforum.com. | 20:24 |
| hggdh | this will allow for more people to look at it and try to zero in. | 20:24 |
| bil21al | ok | 20:25 |
| * brendand missed what the issue was | 20:45 | |
| coalwater | loading icon for the mouse in nautilus when started from launcher | 20:48 |
| coalwater | stays for long | 20:48 |
| brendand | loading your $HOME? | 20:50 |
| brendand | stays long after the files have been loaded or do the files still not appear? | 20:50 |
| coalwater | i think they do appear, but the mouse stays on loading icon | 20:51 |
| coalwater | for about half a min or so | 20:51 |
| coalwater | home dir isn't stuffed, and running the 11.10 alpha | 20:51 |
| brendand | 11.10? | 20:51 |
| brendand | any updates applied? | 20:52 |
| coalwater | i dont know, he's gone now, he was told to ask in askubuntu or ubuntuforums | 20:53 |
| brendand | oh, it was bil21al had the problem? | 20:54 |

| penguin42 | it's a nasty failure, but there again it's probably going to be nasty to find what fixed it | 22:28 |
| penguin42 | and can I suggest it's set to 'High' 'Has a sever impact on a small portion of Ubuntu users' | 22:30 |
| penguin42 | e | 22:39 |
| hggdh | penguin42: it can be backported, if we are able to zero in the fix (and, of course, there are no nasty dependencies) | 22:55 |
| hggdh | or you could try the Natty backported kernel for Lucid | 22:56 |
| penguin42 | hggdh: The reporter is obviously up for trying new versions, lets see what his answer to my question about the natty and earlier oo alpha was | 22:56 |
| penguin42 | hggdh: Can you set the importance? | 22:57 |
| hggdh | penguin42: yes -- thought you already were in -control... | 23:00 |
| penguin42 | hggdh: It's a nasty bug in the sense that who knows which patch fixed it and it's going to take some rather specific hardware to test | 23:01 |
| hggdh | penguin42: done. Please do us a favour, and apply for -control ;-) | 23:03 |
| penguin42 | well if you put it that way.... | 23:03 |
| hggdh | LOL | 23:03 |
| hggdh | I will be glad to give you a +1 :-) | 23:04 |
| hggdh | penguin42: it would be nice to have them collect the debian-installer log (when it fails, scroll down on the D-I menu, select to start the HTTP server, and then do a wget on the syslog) | 23:08 |
| penguin42 | isn't it easier to scp it off? | 23:12 |
| hggdh | if you have ssh installed... | 23:15 |
| hggdh | which probably is not at this point in time | 23:15 |
| penguin42 | ah I thought the client side was there by default; hohum | 23:16 |
| hggdh | oh, there *is* a d-i syslog in there | 23:17 |
| hggdh | and there are some I/O errors reported, I guess at the point things went south | 23:18 |
| hggdh | penguin42: another thing that could, perhaps, help: add, in the linux command line, 'DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer'. This will add some more d-i messages to the log | 23:21 |
| hggdh | (I mean linux boot command line) | 23:21 |
| penguin42 | hggdh: That was from one of the reporters, not the other | 23:21 |
| penguin42 | hggdh: I did have one suspicion though that it could just be duff disc burns and given a few million users we just hitting the coincidence on drive models | 23:22 |
| hggdh | it could, but one of the posters cooment on using a series of dvds and cds | 23:25 |

| penguin42 | something trying to make a prettier splash? | 23:29 |
| yofel | well, I can live without the splash as long as I get a usable graphics driver | 23:30 |
| hggdh | yofel: I had the same -- nouveau was loaded, and refused to go away even when blacklisted; when I booted in recovery, nVidia would work. Then I installed 3.0.0-5, and it went away | 23:37 |
| hggdh | and I do not have splash at all... | 23:38 |
| yofel | heh, I had this on 3.0.0-5 too though :/ | 23:38 |
| hggdh | ugh! | 23:38 |
