| Seven_Six_Two | is alpha2 preferred over the daily build? I have a spare partition, so breakage isn't such a big deal. | 01:01 |

| Seven_Six_Two | 100MB in, and chromium reports "3 hours left". I wasn't planning on staying up that late... | 01:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I just noticed the torrent file. should have scrolled down, but transmission says that the torrent file is not authorized with the tracker. oops?? | 01:38 |
| Seven_Six_Two | fyi, I chose http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/oneiric/alpha-2/oneiric-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent | 01:39 |
| rww | doesn't surprise me. Ubuntu's torrent tracker is... silly. | 01:40 |

| PythonPup | Howdy. What is used in oneiric to replace gconf-editor? I need to fix a couple of things and that is where I have adjusted them in the past. Googling has not helped. I know there is a gconf-editor to install, but it has nothing in it. | 03:59 |
| nit-wit | PythonPup, alt-f2 | 04:02 |
| nit-wit | type in gconf-editor | 04:02 |
| rww | PythonPup: GNOME 3 doesn't use gconf, hence gconf-editor being empty. What "couple of things" are you looking to change? | 04:03 |
| PythonPup | That is no different from running it at a terminal prompt. It still has no keys to edit. | 04:03 |
| PythonPup | The first one is apps/nautilus/preferences. I change it to always show location entry. | 04:05 |
| PythonPup | Next, I go to apps/metacity/genneral/button_layout And, then, I go to apps/update-notifier/auto_launch. | 04:06 |
| PythonPup | So, maybe I should be ggogling for gnome3 and gconf-editor, instead of oneiric and gconf-editor. | 04:07 |
| PythonPup | rww, do you know where to fix those things in Oneiric? | 04:21 |
| rww | PythonPup: I'd imagine dconf, but Google isn't turning up anything and I don't have GNOME 3 handy. | 04:22 |
| PythonPup | I did not see anything useful in dconf. I did try that. I'll keep looking. I just installed and I need to apply updates anyway. I sure am glad the fix from Natty for global menues seems to work in Oneiric. Unity seems improved, but I just started with Oneiric. | 04:25 |
| PythonPup | Is there a way to fix Firefox so it does not start up maximized? I never want it that way. | 05:37 |

| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 14:09 |
| Guest19965 | hi | 14:19 |
| Guest19965 | i have a problem with xubuntu | 14:19 |
| Guest19965 | i juste start using it | 14:20 |
| Pici | Guest19965: On 11.10 ? | 14:20 |
| Guest19965 | 10.04 | 14:20 |
| Guest19965 | and i have not a real graphical interface | 14:20 |
| Guest19965 | just a black screen and a grey bar | 14:20 |
| Guest19965 | at the botom | 14:21 |
| Pici | Guest19965: This channel is for 11.10 support only, #xubuntu would be more appropriate for your question. | 14:21 |
| Guest19965 | i have installed xfce | 14:21 |
| Guest19965 | they just forard me here | 14:21 |
| yofel | what did you tell them before that? | 14:22 |

| Guest19965 | <TheSheep> Guest19965: please go to that channel, ther are people who can help you with testing in there | 14:23 |
| Pici | Because you told them that you were testing the next version of Ubuntu. | 14:23 |
| Guest19965 | no | 14:24 |
| yofel | Guest19965: 10.04 is not the next testing version, that's 11.10 | 14:24 |
| yofel | Guest19965: you said yes to TheSheep's question | 14:24 |
| Pici | Guest19965: You might not have intended that, but as an outsider looking at the conversation, thats what I would infer. | 14:24 |
| Pici | Guest19965: anyway, they're the best people to answer your question anyway. :) | 14:24 |

| DASSADD | hello | 14:25 |
| DASSADD | i have got a question | 14:25 |
| coz_ | DASSADD, cool... what is it ? | 14:27 |
| DASSADD | well is ubuntu 11.10 usuable for productive use | 14:31 |
| jml | hello | 14:31 |
| jml | I just upgraded to oneiric, and I'm getting a kernel panic on boot | 14:31 |
| rww | DASSADD: no | 14:32 |
| DASSADD | i mean not productive | 14:32 |
| DASSADD | but usuable | 14:32 |
| jml | Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) | 14:32 |
| DASSADD | it is not bad if sometimes it did not work quite right | 14:32 |
| DASSADD | because it is private pc | 14:32 |
| rww | DASSADD: It's an alpha version of Ubuntu with alpha-level stability. If you're asking these questions, you care about stability at all, and thus should not be using it. | 14:33 |
| jml | Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.0.0-7-generic #8-Ubuntu | 14:33 |
| DASSADD | well i have got not a problem if it is not so stable | 14:33 |
| yofel | jml: there should be some error above that usually | 14:33 |
| DASSADD | but i do not want to reinstall per day because it did not work anymore | 14:33 |
| DASSADD | anymore | 14:33 |
| jml | DASSADD: "Starting up ..." | 14:34 |
| jml | DASSADD: that's it | 14:34 |
| jml | sorry | 14:34 |
| jml | yofel: ^^ | 14:34 |
| DASSADD | what ? | 14:34 |
| jml | DASSADD: my bad. please disregard. | 14:35 |
| DASSADD | ok | 14:35 |
| yofel | ... no idea, edit the kernel settings in grub and remove "quiet splash" from the kernel command line | 14:35 |
| yofel | maybe that'll print more | 14:35 |
| jml | yofel: how do I interrupt the boot process in order to do that? | 14:36 |
| yofel | holding shift before grub usually comes up should give you the boot selection | 14:37 |

| jml | yofel: no joy. | 14:39 |
| === rcmaehl_fallback is now known as rcmaehl | ||
| yofel | hm, holding left shift pressed at boot is usually the way to get grub up. Try holding it while you're still at the bios screen | 14:39 |
| jml | yofel: 0210: Stuck Key 2A | 14:42 |
| yofel | :( | 14:43 |
| jml | I guess I can try to recover from an external CD drive + natty CD. | 14:43 |
| DASSADD | i have got a question | 14:46 |
| ikonia | best to ask it then DASSADD | 14:52 |
| DASSADD | i already asked it 10 times | 14:55 |
| DASSADD | is ubuntu 11.10 usuable ß | 14:56 |
| DASSADD | or is it to buggy ß | 14:56 |
| jml | DASSADD: many people use it. | 14:56 |
| jml | DASSADD: it's a subjective question | 14:56 |
| DASSADD | ok | 14:56 |
| ior3k | DASSADD: yes, based on my experience | 14:56 |
| DASSADD | should i download daily or alpha | 14:56 |
| DASSADD | hehe | 14:56 |
| jml | OK, I've booted via CD and have the hard drive mounted | 14:56 |
| DASSADD | alpha | 14:56 |
| DASSADD | hehe | 14:56 |
| yofel | daily would be a good mearsure whether it works or not | 14:57 |
| jml | is there something I can do to debug? | 14:57 |
| yofel | expect it to not work at all (although I'm fine) | 14:57 |
| DASSADD | what | 14:58 |
| DASSADD | daily or not | 14:58 |
| DASSADD | do not understand your answer | 14:58 |
| ior3k | DASSADD: install the alpha, then if you feel courageous do an aptitude dist-upgrade | 14:59 |
| ior3k | if not, stay on the alpha until the next alpha is out | 14:59 |
| DASSADD | okay | 15:00 |
| yofel | jml: chroot to the system, edit /etc/default/grub, comment the HIDDEN lines out, remove quiet splash, save, run update-grub and restart | 15:00 |
| DASSADD | and what is if ubuntu 11.10 is out | 15:00 |
| DASSADD | can i get it via upgrade or have i to reinstall | 15:01 |
| yofel | no need to reinstall | 15:01 |
| DASSADD | ok | 15:01 |
| DASSADD | yofel: do you use ubuntu 11.10 too | 15:01 |
| yofel | I'm on kubuntu 11.10 | 15:01 |
| yofel | well, oneiric | 15:01 |
| DASSADD | ok | 15:02 |
| jml | yofel: thanks. | 15:02 |
| DASSADD | i have a problem with unity, it works good but the workspaces i do not like | 15:02 |
| DASSADD | e | 15:02 |
| DASSADD | can you solve it | 15:03 |
| DASSADD | or have i to change to kde | 15:03 |
| yofel | feel free to try KDE, I only tried unity a few times so no idea about your issue | 15:04 |
| yofel | someone else might have an idea if you stick around | 15:04 |
| DASSADD | yofel why did you change from unity to kde | 15:04 |
| DASSADD | do not you like unity | 15:04 |
| jml | *sigh* 32 bit boot cd, 64 bit install | 15:05 |
| yofel | I'm on KDE since karmic. As for unity I neither like nor hate it, but it's not that much better than KDE to make me switch | 15:05 |
| DASSADD | ok | 15:05 |
| DASSADD | and what do you like on kde what gnome not having | 15:05 |
| yofel | more config options :P - but generally the workspace just fits me better, I do prefer unity over gnome2 and gnome-shell to be honest | 15:07 |
| DASSADD | so you like: | 15:08 |
| DASSADD | 1. gnome 3, 2. unity, 3. gnome 2 | 15:08 |
| yofel | nope, 1) KDE > 2) unity > 3) gnome2 > 4) gnome3 | 15:08 |
| DASSADD | ok | 15:08 |
| yofel | actually place XFCE between gnome2 and 3 | 15:09 |
| yofel | bbl | 15:10 |
| === rcmaehl_fallback is now known as rcmaehl | ||

| Pici | Curious. | 15:51 |
| jml | when I ran update-grub I was asked to merge in some other changes... | 15:51 |
| jml | easy enough to remove my debug-related changes & try again. | 15:52 |

| Ian_Corne | what do you need? | 17:37 |
| dupondje | Is shift-lock also not giving numbers ? | 17:37 |
| dupondje | but &É"' etc ? | 17:38 |
| Ian_Corne | under linux, it never does by default | 17:38 |
| Ian_Corne | and it's caps lock,not shift lock | 17:38 |
| dupondje | keyboard tells me Shift lock :D | 17:38 |
| dsathe | in oneric why is the top window bar messed up under gnome shell ? | 17:38 |
| dsathe | any fix ? | 17:39 |
| Ian_Corne | well it acts like caps lock dupondje | 17:39 |
| dupondje | Ian_Corne: But I changed it to 'Caps Lock werkt als Shift met blokkering' | 17:39 |
| dupondje | but still same issue | 17:39 |
| Ian_Corne | ah | 17:39 |
| Ian_Corne | leme try | 17:39 |
| Ian_Corne | try | 17:40 |
| Ian_Corne | caps lock toggles shift | 17:40 |
| Ian_Corne | so all keys are affected | 17:40 |
| dupondje | But if you set 'Caps lock to be a Locking Shift' | 17:41 |
| Ian_Corne | don't have a dutch ubuntu tho | 17:41 |
| dupondje | with caps-locks enabled it should give 123 etc no ? | 17:41 |
| Ian_Corne | yes | 17:42 |
| Ian_Corne | it does for me | 17:42 |
| Ian_Corne | it's the sixth option | 17:42 |
| dupondje | Yep | 17:42 |
| dupondje | but doesn't work here | 17:43 |
