[01:46] 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? [01:47] If I ctrl alt f1, I get a terminal and can login through that.. I ran update and upgrade to no avail [02:01] 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 [03:11] does someone know off hand if the xorg-edgers ppa version of libva/libva-dev is patched for xvba support? [09:19] Argh, any idea why my gdm says "failed to load session Ubuntu"? [09:33] antihero: gdm or lightdm? [09:36] 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] modprobe nvidia fails to find the module [09:37] yeah, there are problems with the Nvidia drivers [09:37] jbicha: In that they entirely don't work? I'm sure I did have it working at some point. [09:37] I uninstalled xserver-xorg-video-nouveau and reinstalled nvidia-current to get my wife's computer working [09:38] but that may not be the "right answer" [09:38] antihero: yes, the nvidia drivers worked until fairly recently [09:38] Are ubuntu working towards using nouveau then? [09:39] I'll reboot [09:40] bug 811701 maybe [09:40] Launchpad bug 811701 in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) "Nvidia driver unfunctional in oneiric since 2011-07-17" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/811701 [09:40] I think nouveau is loading itself too early even if blacklisted by the Nvidia drivers [09:42] 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] lol apparently I'm running out of battery (I'm on mains) [09:43] The new settings panel sucks, where is appearance settings etc? [09:45] antihero: that's a GNOME 3 design decision [09:45] you can change your background but for other stuff, you may want to install gnome-tweak-tool [09:46] jbicha: That's pretty unfair to all the countless theme creators :\ [11:39] hmm a new unity-panel-services crasher today [13:08] yofel: How's KDE being for you in +1 ? [13:09] nice, but for you everything that somehow uses kate, or has an embedded texteditor should be broken at least [13:10] hmm not sure I use any of those [13:12] * 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] unity-panel-services is quite unstable on Gnome at the moment [14:15] why is reqonk defaulting to Catalan when the rest of the system is in English? [14:16] IdleOne: LANG=C reqonk ;-) [14:17] Howdy [14:37] Does lightdm still use xsession files? [14:38] nperry: it should [14:39] nperry: bug 800192 was fixed [14:39] Launchpad bug 800192 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "Sources Xsession.d but doesn't setup required env vars" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/800192 [15:11] sudo service lightdm restart [15:12] any cleaner way to exit back to lightdm, I'm in xmonad atm. [15:16] just quit your session [15:46] hi, is there a way to reset volume and input settings in pulse audio? [15:49] or rather output [15:55] jakubo, both input and out can be turned up full with, alsamixer -V all [15:56] and if alsamixer isnt working? [15:56] pulseaudio seems to be autonomously [15:56] jakubo: paman [15:57] jakubo, if alsamixer isn't working then your pulseaudio won't either , pulseaudio get's it's signals from alsa afaik [15:57] how does pulseaudio store its output settings? [15:58] besides, its alsamixer thats not working not alsa itself [15:58] jakubo, install pavucontrol , that will hold your settings, but alsamixer has to be working [15:59] type alsmixer in the terminal , make sure there's no M in the boxes at the bottom of the ctrls [16:00] i tried with pavucontrol [16:00] pulse audio is just another layer soundserver , it needs alsa to work [16:01] one more turtle on the pile [16:02] What would be the best place to report a bug in Intel Wireless driver ? [16:03] i asked for it before... ill recapulate [16:03] 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? [16:04] i just want to get back to where it was, ... for now, i tried to purge pulseaudio and pulseaudio utils, nothing changed after reinstall [16:05] and pulseaudio hangs sometimes, but thats a different story [16:05] jakubo, install alsa-utils [16:06] please DO read my posts [16:06] im sry, my fault [16:06] it is installed [16:06] no need to purge , the utils gets taken out with pulseaudio [16:07] but not the configurations obviously [16:08] then, sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base , them alsa-utils ...your audio driver conf files have stripped with the purge [16:08] err them=then [16:09] treid that the last time aswell [16:11] my driver conf files did "what"? [16:13] usually pulse audio is treated as a card in alsamixer on its own isnt it? [16:17] Hi all. Would oneiric be the suite that new packages should be based on? Which mirror contains oneiric if that is the case? [16:22] jakubo, the userland config files are in hidden directories in your home directory, such as ~/.pulse [16:23] ok thx [16:23] Nobody around with a "Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230" ? [16:23] the guest account doesn't use those files so you might try logging in as guest and testing sound [16:23] Is oneiric available on the mirrors? [16:23] if sound works as expected in the guest account it's a userland problem [16:24] ok ill try [16:26] is anyone else not able to logout properly? [16:27] does _anything_ work on that system [16:27] does the frigging mouse pointer still work [16:27] actually yet, everything else [16:28] i got the logout problem on my laptop too [16:28] i guess thats something with light dm [16:30] its rather quiet on the guest account too [16:30] well then it's probbaly an oeniric bug [16:31] unless it's bad hardware [16:31] but you can test that with an older livecd [16:31] oneiric _is_ alpha software at this point [16:31] you think its bad hardware if i triggered itvis pulseaudio configs instantly? [16:31] you don't have any right to demand stability [16:32] i didnt i just ask for advice how to set things back [16:32] well, the easiest way is to clean install natty [16:32] you can get that done in 15 minutes [16:33] not if you are having a software raid set up [16:33] but i would be too lazy even if i didnt [16:33] copy your home directory to an external backup source like a hdd [16:34] or you could report a bug and wait for a fix to be released [16:35] there are bug reports on the net... there have been for years actually... [16:38] at least for the alsa driver [16:51] 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 [16:53] correction on=from [16:53] what was the dd command you used/ [16:54] they really shouldn't use much CPU [17:04] you want to increase the blocksize, uses more memory but less CPU [17:09] I just used bs=1024, means byte size I think [17:09] block size, 1024 would be 1KB, if you're copying an iso $((1024*1024)) == 1MB would be faster [17:10] default is 512 bytes which takes ages for that amount of data [17:13] would the seek/write cycle of the drive be the biggest choke point in dd? [17:13] i mean is the cpu time iowait? [17:13] ok , so , M =1024*1024 [17:13] if your cpu is up at 90% is most of it iowait? [17:14] one core is ar 95% , the other is only at 20% ..wouldn't sharing the load be more efficient [17:15] iowait? [17:15] yeah, input/output wait [17:16] means the cpu is waiting for hardware to give it info it has requested [17:24] yofel what's blocksize command ..I have the man page open but... count=BLOCKS , .what size ? ..speed isn't necessary just accuracy [17:35] 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) [17:36] BluesKaj: no, bs= is blocksize, you don't need count= if you're dd-ing a fiel [17:36] *file [17:39] ok, yofel thanks , looks like the disc is problematic ...not dd === jacob_ is now known as jacob [18:10] odd tho , when I play the disk , it works fine , but when I try to dd or cp , it's totally pixellated and unwatchable [18:13] the first disc in this set dd 'd fine to an iso , the 2nd plays ok , but seems uncopyable [18:44] anyway k9copy worked , copied the 2nd disc to an iso without a hitch [18:48] you shouldn't need any extra software to copy a disc to an iso, just right-click and select copy disc [18:51] BluesKaj: Is it just data or is it video/audio ? [18:52] video/audio [18:54] DVD? [18:55] 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] penguin42, yeah dvd [18:55] maybe the disc was still encrypted. maybe libdvdcss2 couldn't grab the key [18:56] 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 [18:57] this pc is our media server , so i'm copying our fav dvds to the hdd, [19:00] 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 ? [19:01] indeed [19:01] * penguin42 prefers Clapton when he was playing alone [19:01] k9copy seemed to do the trick on the 2nd , anyeay [19:01] anyway [19:03] penguin42, well for my generation , the Cream reunion was historical === niekie_ is now known as niekie [19:26] Bugs bugs bugs :( [19:26] :p [19:27] my new laptop got to many exotic hardware it seems :p [19:53] cdbs: You also have an XPS 15 I sse ? [19:55] Well, I upgraded to Oneiric. [20:03] Damn [20:04] gotto love Intel Wireless team :) [20:04] Bugreported, and 2 hours later a good response :) === yofel_ is now known as yofel === vega is now known as Guest10315 [21:30] 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] default_x11_lib_dirs = libpaths(['/usr/lib/X11', '/usr/lib'], platform_bits) [21:30] default_x11_include_dirs = ['/usr/include/X11', '/usr/include'] [21:32] dsdale: that doesn't sound right, considering multiarch [21:33] well, /usr/X11/lib and /usr/X11/include don't exist [21:34] dsdale: oh, that's definitely wrong :) [21:34] dsdale: can you file a bug for this? [21:35] sure. Could you please provide a link? [21:35] dsdale: ubuntu-bug python-numpy [21:35] Sorry, that doesn't mean anything to me [21:36] dsdale: you can just run it on the command line [21:36] ah [21:36] it'll open up launchpad with some information about the package [21:36] thanks [21:37] Traceback (most recent call last): [21:37] File "/usr/share/apport/apport-kde", line 36, in [21:37] apport.fatal('Could not import module, is a package upgrade in progress? Error: %s', str(e)) [21:37] NameError: name 'apport' is not defined [21:38] ugh, I guess apport is broken as well [21:40] yofel: any ideas ^^ [21:42] dsdale: works for me, does 'apport-cli python-numpy' in konsole fail too? [21:43] no [21:44] 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 [23:49] !gnome [23:49] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [23:56] Does anyone know if this is implemented already? http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/27614 [23:58] how do I restore the "Ubuntu classic" option?
