=== jrib is now known as Guest71999 [04:33] Hey anyone awake here? [04:35] #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 [04:44] guest_: light dm? are you on Oneiric? probably try in #ubuntu+1 [04:44] vish, im using 11.04 [04:44] guest_: then how are you using lightDM? [04:44] installed the ppa [04:44] ! [04:44] :/ i know [04:44] lol [04:44] ;p [04:45] it just refuses to login into my main name [04:45] i can only use a guest account [04:45] so idk how to remove it without sudo :/ or atleast make gdm main again [04:45] guest_: try ppa purge, and hopefully it should reinstall the gdm [04:46] !ppapurge [04:46] Factoid 'ppapurge' not found [04:46] hmm.. [04:46] !ppa-purge [04:46] 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:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [04:47] can i do this all from a guest account? [04:48] guest_: i dont think so.. but if you know your admin password maybe. [04:48] i do, but it wont use sudo [04:49] hmm, plus i wouldnt even know where the subdirectory would be for lightdm anyway [04:49] lol [04:49] i guess im screwed... [04:49] guest_: lesson of the day, "dont screw with core components" ;p [04:50] vish, it was running so well too! (until the most recent update) [04:52] vish, is there a way to access the files under that account? i just want to save my music [04:52] guest_: try from LiveCD or LiveUSB.. [04:53] vish, can it be a disk from 10.10? [04:54] guest_: yup, should work.. (but we are really off-topic on this channel..) [04:55] 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] np.. [06:47] can someone help me with 1 thing [06:48] hggdh, said u don't bite :D lol [06:48] i need some help with a bug [06:51] !ask > coalwater [06:51] coalwater, please see my private message [06:51] yea yea, i know i just had to make sure someone's around [06:51] bye.. ;p [06:52] 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] 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] [06:53] coalwater: nope.. you should select "Also affects project" not distro.. [06:54] i felt so, ok i'll fix it [06:54] how do i delete it :D [06:55] coalwater: you can't delete the debian task, after you open the Gnome project task, just close debian task as invalid (with a comment).. [06:57] hm can't find gnome-project [06:57] gnome project or w/e [06:58] coalwater: click the "also affects project" and select/search "Nautilus" [06:59] (you have forwarded the bug to Gnome bugzilla) [07:00] ok, so i just put nautilus, without a link to the other bug ? [07:02] coalwater: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Watches [07:02] yea, that's the link that's already confusing me lol [07:02] coalwater: specifically » https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Watches#Watching_Another_Project [07:03] coalwater: just add the upstream link in the options you get after you choose Nautilus [07:03] ok, i didn't know it's 2 different pages, was expecting the url thing to be in the same page [07:03] now invalid to the deb one ? [07:04] coalwater: yup.. [07:04] how, doesn't let me change it [07:04] coalwater: hmm, wait it's not a simple change, I'll do that for you.. [07:05] ty [07:05] when ur done could u do little explaining :D [07:07] 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..) [07:09] 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] ok [07:10] on the add bug url ? or just a comment === paul__ is now known as Elbrus [07:11] coalwater: just comment something like "Bug first reported in Launchpad : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/787600 " [07:11] Launchpad bug 787600 in nautilus (Debian) (and 2 other projects) "Clicking the active tab in the inactive pane doesn't switch panes (affects: 2) (heat: 14)" [Undecided,Invalid] [07:11] ok thanks [07:12] coalwater: btw, what version# of Ubuntu and Nautilus are you facing this? [07:12] i'm not noticing the problem in Maverick.. [07:12] natty [07:13] coalwater: ok, so thats another you can add in the comment as well.. [07:13] on which bug [07:13] coalwater: upstream is more necessary [07:15] so i mention my os version or mention that it doesn't apply on urs [07:17] coalwater: your(broken) version is important when reporting the bug [07:18] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654723#c2 good enough ? [07:18] Gnome bug 654723 in Tabs "Clicking the active tab in the unactive pane doesn't switch panes" [Minor,Unconfirmed] [07:22] coalwater: yup, looks good.. [07:22] ok thanks :D [07:23] maybe i should apply for getting a bugsquad mentor or something lol [07:26] vish, https://launchpad.net/~bugsquad-mentorship-group-alpha what's this [07:28] ur listed as owner [07:28] coalwater: yup, thats for bugsquad mentoring [07:29] what's the difference between it and this https://launchpad.net/~bugsquad-mentorship [07:30] coalwater: nothing, the alpha one is the new group, you apply to bugsquad mentorship and we add you to the alpha one.. [07:31] so do i need to apply on the wiki page first [07:32] coalwater: no, just read the wiki page, "How To Request a Mentor" [07:35] vish, is there a place that lists the packages that i might be interested in, just to have a look at what's available [07:36] coalwater: good Q.. [07:36] * vish looks.. [07:43] brb [07:46] coalwater: couldnt find it.. but not necessary if you dont have anything specific.. === nightwis- is now known as nightwish [08:12] vish, so i need to update my wiki and say that i don't have something specific i'm interested in ? === SuperHark is now known as MichealH === bambee_ is now known as bambee === Abhijit__ is now known as Abhijit [16:40] hello, please reproduce and set status medium to bug 810651 .

Any way to have bug 808551 processed? [18:57] alex_mayorga: Bug 808551 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/808551 is private [18:58] !retrace [18:58] Factoid 'retrace' not found [19:08] i want to report the home folder bug what should i run in terminal ??? and one more question [19:23] bil21al: just curious, what do you mean by bug in home ? [19:25] 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 .. [19:26] the mouse option is begins to rotate like somthing is loading [19:27] is that happening only with your home directory or all the directories ? [19:27] with home only [19:28] for example if you run "nautilus /etc/" in terminal, then ? [19:29] if i open it from terminal than its right but when i open it from home folder then it happens [19:30] like it happens when i open it from launcher icon [19:30] so nautilus ~/ is ok right? [19:30] ok [19:32] and the mouse pointer does not change to normal at all ? like after sometime ? [19:32] yes yes,, [19:32] its about for 30 sec or more [19:33] might be the case you are running out of space in your /home partition (assuming you have a separate /home) ? [19:34] maybe he can paste his df === yofel_ is now known as yofel [19:35] no i have to much space in my home folder [19:36] its in 11.10 [19:36] u have it installed or is it a live cd [19:38] no there is no cd [19:38] what is the size of the home folder? Run, on a terminal, 'du -sh', and report the output [19:39] hggdh cannot read directory [19:39] actually, ' du -sh ~' [19:40] ok i again check it [19:40] bil21al: pleas post on pastebin the command and complete output -- http://pastebin.ubuntu.com -- and then post the link here [19:41] du won't really tell how much free space , just how much occupied space [19:41] indeed. One step at a time ;-) [19:41] ok :D [19:42] btw, i applied for bug mentorship, i liked the UDW session :P [19:43] coalwater: :-) [19:44] hggh see this out put [19:44] du-sh~: command not found [19:44] bil21al@bil21al-ThinkPad-T60:/$ du -sh~ [19:44] du: invalid option -- '~' [19:44] Try `du --help' for more information. [19:44] 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] bil21al: try: "cd; du -sh" [19:44] i dont know i got little confused adding a bug watch today [19:45] bil21al: er. there has to be a space between -sh and ~ [19:45] u need to put space [19:45] 1.4gb [19:45] yea [19:45] launchpad isn't allways intuitive. So feel free to ask questions abou the UI ;) [19:45] out put is 1.4GB [19:45] #launchpad can help you too if something seems broken [19:45] not really big... mine, for example, is ~ 25G [19:46] yea, im around the same too [19:46] if launchpad doesn't give me my karma in the next couple of days im gonna stop doing launchpad work :D [19:46] but here in pakistan hard disk are so costly so that way but it not hapen in 11.04 [19:47] yofel my karma is not increasing [19:47] 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] mine is frozen since like 5 days :( [19:47] no, it's broken [19:48] it's not been updated since it got skipped when they made lp read-only when karma was supposed to be updated [19:48] ah, I've got more karma than I need so didn't notice ^^ [19:48] bil21al: so. You open Nautilus against your home dir, and you get the rotating pointer. Does it stop rotating? [19:48] but for me it stopped just when i really started to work hard lol [19:48] coalwater: added yourself to 5-a-day yet? That's a nicer statistic and karma IMO [19:49] s/and/than/ [19:49] * hggdh just found karma's low... [19:49] not that I really care ;-) [19:49] yes it stops rotation after 30, to 40 sec hggdh [19:49] yofel, i don't know, i think i could start with 1 a day lol [19:49] coalwater: you'll show up here then ;) http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/five-a-day/ [19:51] don't think I actually manage to do 5 a day that often [19:51] vish is still the overlord taking first and second place [19:51] 5 a day means triage 5 bugs a day? [19:51] coalwater: roughly yes, it counts the mails that are sent out from your work (filing bugs doesn't count) [19:53] has any body having this problem ,https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/modemmanager/+bug/811612 [19:53] Launchpad bug 811612 in modemmanager (Ubuntu) "modem-manager crashed with SIGSEGV in mm_serial_port_close() (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,New] [19:53] i'll need someone to hold my hand and show me how to do that step by step [19:54] coalwater: IIRC you only need a public mail address on launchpad and need to join the team [19:54] see the link at the top of the statistics page [19:56] there, im in the 5 a day thing lol, now i need to actually find 5 too easy ones that even i could do [19:58] 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 [20:01] i run ls -R than to much detail came but wc -l dosent do any thing [20:02] hggdh, what's wc? [20:02] counts lines huh [20:02] nice [20:02] coalwater: wc counts the lines, words, and chars (actually, bytes) in a file [20:03] now what i do?? hggdh [20:03] so 'wc -l' will count the number of lines in a file (mind you, a line ends with a LF) [20:03] i think he didn't use the pipe [20:04] bil21al: 'ls -R ~ | wc -l' [20:04] I agree [20:04] bil21al: mind the spaces and symbols in the above command [20:05] hggdh, i always needed something that does wc, i usually try to silly hacks using grep lol [20:06] so brendand , any idea when launchpad is getting it's full functionality back ? [20:06] 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] coalwater: probably very soon. The LP folks really care about it [20:07] 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 ? [20:08] hggdh when i run wc -l than no out put is comming cursor is blinking but no out put [20:08] bil21al, u need to write the whole thing on the same line [20:08] bil21al: did you use the pipe? [20:08] bil21al: please post *exact* command you issued [20:08] no [20:08] [20:08] ok sorry i try again [20:09] hggdh, u think a high files count might cause this ? [20:09] wouldn't it just scan 1 level ? [20:09] i mean it ( nautilus ) [20:10] hggdh 539 [20:10] out put is 539 [20:12] coalwater: it could -- nautilus will scan the dirs [20:12] bil21al: and what was the command you ran? [20:12] mine is 13300 :D lol [20:13] coalwater: the '-R' on 'ls' means it will recurse on all subdirectories [20:13] yea :P [20:13] i run ls -R ~ | wc -l [20:13] it kind annoys me that some use -r and some -R [20:14] mind he's running the alpha2 probably [20:14] 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] yes i m using 11.10 [20:15] bil21al: all your home is local? Or would you have some remote filesystems loaded also? [20:17] no no i hav not loaded any filesystem [20:19] well, this is a bit weird, then. [20:20] hmm [20:20] what i do [20:20] now [20:20] ? [20:20] report a bug or not [20:21] ? [20:24] 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] this will allow for more people to look at it and try to zero in. [20:25] ok [20:45] * brendand missed what the issue was [20:48] loading icon for the mouse in nautilus when started from launcher [20:48] stays for long [20:50] loading your $HOME? [20:50] stays long after the files have been loaded or do the files still not appear? [20:51] i think they do appear, but the mouse stays on loading icon [20:51] for about half a min or so [20:51] home dir isn't stuffed, and running the 11.10 alpha [20:51] 11.10? [20:52] any updates applied? [20:53] i dont know, he's gone now, he was told to ask in askubuntu or ubuntuforums [20:54] oh, it was bil21al had the problem? [20:54] i see [22:26] anyone know about backporting of kernel fixes for LTS - see bug 682159 [22:26] Launchpad bug 682159 in linux (Ubuntu) "Cannot install Ubuntu-Server 10.04.1 32 bit using a NEC DVD_RW ND-35xx PATA DVD drive (affects: 2) (heat: 28)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/682159 [22:28] it's a nasty failure, but there again it's probably going to be nasty to find what fixed it [22:30] and can I suggest it's set to 'High' 'Has a sever impact on a small portion of Ubuntu users' [22:39] e [22:55] penguin42: it can be backported, if we are able to zero in the fix (and, of course, there are no nasty dependencies) [22:56] or you could try the Natty backported kernel for Lucid [22:56] 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 [22:57] hggdh: Can you set the importance? [23:00] penguin42: yes -- thought you already were in -control... [23:01] 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 [23:03] penguin42: done. Please do us a favour, and apply for -control ;-) [23:03] well if you put it that way.... [23:03] LOL [23:04] I will be glad to give you a +1 :-) [23:08] 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) [23:12] isn't it easier to scp it off? [23:15] if you have ssh installed... [23:15] which probably is not at this point in time [23:16] ah I thought the client side was there by default; hohum [23:17] oh, there *is* a d-i syslog in there [23:18] and there are some I/O errors reported, I guess at the point things went south [23:21] 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] (I mean linux boot command line) [23:21] hggdh: That was from one of the reporters, not the other [23:22] 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 [23:25] it could, but one of the posters cooment on using a series of dvds and cds [23:29] anyone an idea what would cause nouveau.ko to end up in initrd? No idea what's the right package to reassign bug 811701 to [23:29] Launchpad bug 811701 in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) "Nvidia driver unfunctional in oneiric since 2011-07-17 (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/811701 [23:29] something trying to make a prettier splash? [23:30] well, I can live without the splash as long as I get a usable graphics driver [23:37] 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 [23:38] and I do not have splash at all... [23:38] heh, I had this on 3.0.0-5 too though :/ [23:38] ugh!
