| cjohnston | Greetings, I installed the daily last night. When I get to the login screen, I click on my username, and then I just get a background and a mouse.. No toolbars, no enter password, nothing.. Any ideas? | 01:46 |
|---|---|---|
| cjohnston | If I ctrl alt f1, I get a terminal and can login through that.. I ran update and upgrade to no avail | 01:47 |
| cjohnston | I just found out that if I click on my username is when it goes blank, but I can select other, type in the same username, password, and then it will log me in | 02:01 |
| snadge | does someone know off hand if the xorg-edgers ppa version of libva/libva-dev is patched for xvba support? | 03:11 |
| antihero | Argh, any idea why my gdm says "failed to load session Ubuntu"? | 09:19 |
| jbicha | antihero: gdm or lightdm? | 09:33 |
| antihero | jbicha: gdm. Looking at .xession-errors it seems that glx isn't loaded. I've done nvidia-xconfig and now it fails to load X as apparently my nvidia module isn't loaded | 09:36 |
| antihero | modprobe nvidia fails to find the module | 09:36 |
| jbicha | yeah, there are problems with the Nvidia drivers | 09:37 |
| antihero | jbicha: In that they entirely don't work? I'm sure I did have it working at some point. | 09:37 |
| jbicha | I uninstalled xserver-xorg-video-nouveau and reinstalled nvidia-current to get my wife's computer working | 09:37 |
| jbicha | but that may not be the "right answer" | 09:38 |
| jbicha | antihero: yes, the nvidia drivers worked until fairly recently | 09:38 |
| antihero | Are ubuntu working towards using nouveau then? | 09:38 |
| antihero | I'll reboot | 09:39 |
| jbicha | bug 811701 maybe | 09:40 |

| jbicha | I think nouveau is loading itself too early even if blacklisted by the Nvidia drivers | 09:40 |
| antihero | jbicha: Aye, I remember a similar problem when a nvidia related module loaded early in order to provide a high res console, and preventend the actual nvidia module loading. | 09:42 |
| antihero | lol apparently I'm running out of battery (I'm on mains) | 09:42 |
| antihero | The new settings panel sucks, where is appearance settings etc? | 09:43 |
| jbicha | antihero: that's a GNOME 3 design decision | 09:45 |
| jbicha | you can change your background but for other stuff, you may want to install gnome-tweak-tool | 09:45 |
| antihero | jbicha: That's pretty unfair to all the countless theme creators :\ | 09:46 |
| penguin42 | hmm a new unity-panel-services crasher today | 11:39 |
| penguin42 | yofel: How's KDE being for you in +1 ? | 13:08 |
| yofel | nice, but for you everything that somehow uses kate, or has an embedded texteditor should be broken at least | 13:09 |
| penguin42 | hmm not sure I use any of those | 13:10 |
| * penguin42 only has this <--- machine on +1 at the moment which is Gnome, and am thinking doing that machine ----> which is mostly KDE | 13:12 | |
| penguin42 | unity-panel-services is quite unstable on Gnome at the moment | 13:12 |

| jakubo | hi, is there a way to reset volume and input settings in pulse audio? | 15:46 |
| jakubo | or rather output | 15:49 |
| BluesKaj | jakubo, both input and out can be turned up full with, alsamixer -V all | 15:55 |
| jakubo | and if alsamixer isnt working? | 15:56 |
| jakubo | pulseaudio seems to be autonomously | 15:56 |
| penguin42 | jakubo: paman | 15:56 |
| BluesKaj | jakubo, if alsamixer isn't working then your pulseaudio won't either , pulseaudio get's it's signals from alsa afaik | 15:57 |
| jakubo | how does pulseaudio store its output settings? | 15:57 |
| jakubo | besides, its alsamixer thats not working not alsa itself | 15:58 |
| BluesKaj | jakubo, install pavucontrol , that will hold your settings, but alsamixer has to be working | 15:58 |
| BluesKaj | type alsmixer in the terminal , make sure there's no M in the boxes at the bottom of the ctrls | 15:59 |
| jakubo | i tried with pavucontrol | 16:00 |
| BluesKaj | pulse audio is just another layer soundserver , it needs alsa to work | 16:00 |
| penguin42 | one more turtle on the pile | 16:01 |
| dupondje | What would be the best place to report a bug in Intel Wireless driver ? | 16:02 |
| jakubo | i asked for it before... ill recapulate | 16:03 |
| jakubo | sound is there put very quiet although all pulseaudio bars ar up to 120%, alsamixer saays there is no mixer device, it seems that my chip CM-6501 is seen as USB and maybe has some oss mixer which is obviously deprecated, at least the alsa site says so. sound has been working quite well until i changed the output to analog stereo and then back to analog speakers. any idea? | 16:03 |
| jakubo | i just want to get back to where it was, ... for now, i tried to purge pulseaudio and pulseaudio utils, nothing changed after reinstall | 16:04 |
| jakubo | and pulseaudio hangs sometimes, but thats a different story | 16:05 |
| BluesKaj | jakubo, install alsa-utils | 16:05 |
| jakubo | please DO read my posts | 16:06 |
| jakubo | im sry, my fault | 16:06 |
| jakubo | it is installed | 16:06 |
| BluesKaj | no need to purge , the utils gets taken out with pulseaudio | 16:06 |
| jakubo | but not the configurations obviously | 16:07 |
| BluesKaj | then, sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base , them alsa-utils ...your audio driver conf files have stripped with the purge | 16:08 |
| BluesKaj | err them=then | 16:08 |
| jakubo | treid that the last time aswell | 16:09 |
| jakubo | my driver conf files did "what"? | 16:11 |
| jakubo | usually pulse audio is treated as a card in alsamixer on its own isnt it? | 16:13 |
| babilen | Hi all. Would oneiric be the suite that new packages should be based on? Which mirror contains oneiric if that is the case? | 16:17 |
| bjsnider | jakubo, the userland config files are in hidden directories in your home directory, such as ~/.pulse | 16:22 |
| jakubo | ok thx | 16:23 |
| dupondje | Nobody around with a "Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230" ? | 16:23 |
| bjsnider | the guest account doesn't use those files so you might try logging in as guest and testing sound | 16:23 |
| babilen | Is oneiric available on the mirrors? | 16:23 |
| bjsnider | if sound works as expected in the guest account it's a userland problem | 16:23 |
| jakubo | ok ill try | 16:24 |
| jakubo | is anyone else not able to logout properly? | 16:26 |
| bjsnider | does _anything_ work on that system | 16:27 |
| bjsnider | does the frigging mouse pointer still work | 16:27 |
| jakubo | actually yet, everything else | 16:27 |
| jakubo | i got the logout problem on my laptop too | 16:28 |
| jakubo | i guess thats something with light dm | 16:28 |
| jakubo | its rather quiet on the guest account too | 16:30 |
| bjsnider | well then it's probbaly an oeniric bug | 16:30 |
| bjsnider | unless it's bad hardware | 16:31 |
| bjsnider | but you can test that with an older livecd | 16:31 |
| bjsnider | oneiric _is_ alpha software at this point | 16:31 |
| jakubo | you think its bad hardware if i triggered itvis pulseaudio configs instantly? | 16:31 |
| bjsnider | you don't have any right to demand stability | 16:31 |
| jakubo | i didnt i just ask for advice how to set things back | 16:32 |
| bjsnider | well, the easiest way is to clean install natty | 16:32 |
| bjsnider | you can get that done in 15 minutes | 16:32 |
| jakubo | not if you are having a software raid set up | 16:33 |
| jakubo | but i would be too lazy even if i didnt | 16:33 |
| bjsnider | copy your home directory to an external backup source like a hdd | 16:33 |
| bjsnider | or you could report a bug and wait for a fix to be released | 16:34 |
| jakubo | there are bug reports on the net... there have been for years actually... | 16:35 |
| jakubo | at least for the alsa driver | 16:38 |
| BluesKaj | bjsnider, is there command to dircect dd to use mulitple cpu cores while copying to iso ..one core is at 20% and the other at 95% while copying and the reslts were fine on one disc but total pixellation on another | 16:51 |
| BluesKaj | correction on=from | 16:53 |
| penguin42 | what was the dd command you used/ | 16:53 |
| penguin42 | they really shouldn't use much CPU | 16:54 |
| yofel | you want to increase the blocksize, uses more memory but less CPU | 17:04 |
| BluesKaj | I just used bs=1024, means byte size I think | 17:09 |
| yofel | block size, 1024 would be 1KB, if you're copying an iso $((1024*1024)) == 1MB would be faster | 17:09 |
| yofel | default is 512 bytes which takes ages for that amount of data | 17:10 |
| bjsnider | would the seek/write cycle of the drive be the biggest choke point in dd? | 17:13 |
| bjsnider | i mean is the cpu time iowait? | 17:13 |
| BluesKaj | ok , so , M =1024*1024 | 17:13 |
| bjsnider | if your cpu is up at 90% is most of it iowait? | 17:13 |
| BluesKaj | one core is ar 95% , the other is only at 20% ..wouldn't sharing the load be more efficient | 17:14 |
| BluesKaj | iowait? | 17:15 |
| bjsnider | yeah, input/output wait | 17:15 |
| bjsnider | means the cpu is waiting for hardware to give it info it has requested | 17:16 |
| BluesKaj | yofel what's blocksize command ..I have the man page open but... count=BLOCKS , .what size ? ..speed isn't necessary just accuracy | 17:24 |
| penguin42 | if it's showing a core at a % it's not normally iowait | 17:35 |
| * penguin42 would use bs= at least 2048 on an iso to a drive; CDs basic sectors are 2k (for data) | 17:35 | |
| yofel | BluesKaj: no, bs= is blocksize, you don't need count= if you're dd-ing a fiel | 17:36 |
| yofel | *file | 17:36 |
| BluesKaj | ok, yofel thanks , looks like the disc is problematic ...not dd | 17:39 |
| === jacob_ is now known as jacob | ||
| BluesKaj | odd tho , when I play the disk , it works fine , but when I try to dd or cp , it's totally pixellated and unwatchable | 18:10 |
| BluesKaj | the first disc in this set dd 'd fine to an iso , the 2nd plays ok , but seems uncopyable | 18:13 |
| BluesKaj | anyway k9copy worked , copied the 2nd disc to an iso without a hitch | 18:44 |
| bjsnider | you shouldn't need any extra software to copy a disc to an iso, just right-click and select copy disc | 18:48 |
| penguin42 | BluesKaj: Is it just data or is it video/audio ? | 18:51 |
| BluesKaj | video/audio | 18:52 |
| penguin42 | DVD? | 18:54 |
| BluesKaj | bjsnider, the playback on vlc was totally corrupt on the 2nd disc iso with dd and cp , the first disc dd to iso, plays fine ...go figure | 18:55 |
| BluesKaj | penguin42, yeah dvd | 18:55 |
| bjsnider | maybe the disc was still encrypted. maybe libdvdcss2 couldn't grab the key | 18:55 |
| penguin42 | BluesKaj: None-data discs are a bit special; their sectors are actually different sizes for the audio and video data; I've never tried dding one directly | 18:56 |
| BluesKaj | this pc is our media server , so i'm copying our fav dvds to the hdd, | 18:57 |
| BluesKaj | penguin42, well, this packaged set , Cream at the Royal Albert, the first one dd > iso and plays fine on vlc , dd-ing the 2nd iso wasn't playable ...rather odd, no ? | 19:00 |
| penguin42 | indeed | 19:01 |
| * penguin42 prefers Clapton when he was playing alone | 19:01 | |
| BluesKaj | k9copy seemed to do the trick on the 2nd , anyeay | 19:01 |
| BluesKaj | anyway | 19:01 |
| BluesKaj | penguin42, well for my generation , the Cream reunion was historical | 19:03 |

| dsdale | Hey folks, I think there might be an issue in numpy's distutils that needs to be patched for 11.10. In /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/numpy/distutils/system_info.py, the default_x11_{lib,include}_dirs are pointing to nonexistent directories, and should be changed to | 21:30 |
| dsdale | default_x11_lib_dirs = libpaths(['/usr/lib/X11', '/usr/lib'], platform_bits) | 21:30 |
| dsdale | default_x11_include_dirs = ['/usr/include/X11', '/usr/include'] | 21:30 |
| micahg | dsdale: that doesn't sound right, considering multiarch | 21:32 |
| dsdale | well, /usr/X11/lib and /usr/X11/include don't exist | 21:33 |
| micahg | dsdale: oh, that's definitely wrong :) | 21:34 |
| micahg | dsdale: can you file a bug for this? | 21:34 |
| dsdale | sure. Could you please provide a link? | 21:35 |
| micahg | dsdale: ubuntu-bug python-numpy | 21:35 |
| dsdale | Sorry, that doesn't mean anything to me | 21:35 |
| micahg | dsdale: you can just run it on the command line | 21:36 |
| dsdale | ah | 21:36 |
| micahg | it'll open up launchpad with some information about the package | 21:36 |
| dsdale | thanks | 21:36 |
| dsdale | Traceback (most recent call last): | 21:37 |
| dsdale | File "/usr/share/apport/apport-kde", line 36, in <module> | 21:37 |
| dsdale | apport.fatal('Could not import module, is a package upgrade in progress? Error: %s', str(e)) | 21:37 |
| dsdale | NameError: name 'apport' is not defined | 21:37 |
| micahg | ugh, I guess apport is broken as well | 21:38 |
| micahg | yofel: any ideas ^^ | 21:40 |
| yofel | dsdale: works for me, does 'apport-cli python-numpy' in konsole fail too? | 21:42 |
| dsdale | no | 21:43 |
| yofel | uh, now that's fun, from the trace it seems that an import error happens, but before apport is loaded, then the error message tries to use the not-imported apport and that call crashes too | 21:44 |
