* penguin42 really should clean more junk out of his machine before doing upgrades00:28
penguin42woohoo, KDE 4.701:13
penguin42fullscreen might finally work reliably01:25
MrNthDegreeWould any developers here like specific features testing?10:45
penguin42hmm - anyone else using pidgin? In the last week or so the order of the tabs in this here window has gone completely random11:33
WaltherFIbtw, when is the deadline for ubuntu wallpaper contest submissions / when will the "winners" be selected?13:07
pwnsauce81Hi. I am having constant crashes with Banshee 2.1.0 in OO. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.13:17
penguin42pwnsauce81: Best to report the bug with ubuntu-bug and it should gather some useful info13:23
penguin42pwnsauce81: But also try running it from a shell and see if it gives any errors that give any idea13:23
pwnsauce81Hi penguin42. I got some information from the Banshee IRC.  It was related to the libsoundtouch0 package. Downgrading it solved the issue13:24
Roo79Hi all  I've been trying to find out if there is an oneiric minimal install out yet? or if there is a way to do it. can anyone please help?13:25
penguin42Roo79: The server install would probably be smaller13:25
Roo79yeah it's not size so much as I just want to play with a few things like no recomends etc13:27
Roo79recommends sorry13:27
Roo79I haven't used linux/ubuntu in a long time as was kind of hoping to do a custom install13:29
Roo79can that still be done?13:30
penguin42Roo79: The alternate CD gives you a lot more options I think13:31
penguin42Roo79: But you can always remove a lot of packages and just add back what you need13:31
ikoniawhy do you want to do a custom install of a development version13:31
ikoniathe whole point of it currently is to test what's being developed13:31
Roo79I learn best when I can play with things I have the daily builds already but I want to see what I can do from a basic install remove eog and some others which I can't do on the daily builds13:33
Roo79thanks for taking the time to talk13:34
ikoniaRoo79: you're adding no value then13:34
ikoniaRoo79: play with the daily builds, look for issues, add/remove software13:34
ikoniaadd value13:34
Roo79I'll take another look alt install and add value is each to their own I guess some default apps are just not for me, but there are alot more I can remove from the dailies than I could before without breaking things ie gwibber, empathy... which is great but I want to see how far I can push it13:37
ikoniaRoo79: then take a daily build and remove as much as possible, it will give a good insight into what depends on what13:38
Roo79I've been doing that with the daily I have now but I just wanted to see if a minimal install could go a little further like I did back with hardy {the last ubuntu version I used} alot has changed since then ubuntu has come along well credit to you all!13:41
Roo79well got to go thank you all for your time. happy developing guys!13:42
dsdaleI need to report a problem with python-numpy's distutils. It is providing inaccurate locations for  headers and libraries (for example: "/usr/X11R6/include", plus many others). I was advised to use "apport-bug" to provide a report, but when I run that command I get a traceback from apport-kde. Is there another way to report a problem?13:48
penguin42dsdale: just try ubuntu-bug python-numpy    although I thought that was the same as apport-bug13:49
* penguin42 wonders if you have to use apport-bug to report a bug in apport-bug13:49
* penguin42 suspects giving people recursive advice isn't allowed13:51
dsdalepenguin42: that's the same as apport-bug. The problem is the call in apport-kde to import PyKDE4.kdecore, I get an import error that there is no such module as kdecore13:51
penguin42dsdale: I wonder if you can do it with apport-cli ?13:51
yofeldsdale: python-kde4 is currently utterly broken, known issue14:00
yofelsee debian bug 63486014:01
ubottuDebian bug 634860 in python-qt4 "Please switch python-qt4 to dh_python2" [Serious,Fixed] http://bugs.debian.org/63486014:01
yofelor its aftermatch at least14:03
dsdaleyofel: is the PYTHONPATH changing again? I've got PyKDE packages installed in /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.{6,7}, and in /usr/lib/python2.{6,7}/dist-packages/, but the PyKDE4 package that is being found on sys.path is the one in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7, which only contains  __init__ and plasmascript14:05
yofelI'm not a python expert, all I know is that we (and debian) are switching the packaging to dh_python2 and that didn't go too smooth14:06
penguin42fullscreen seems a lot more reliable on KDE on Radeon on OO than it did in NN14:11
erus`how do i install this http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/haskell-platform (a oneiric package) ?15:39
erus`on ubuntu 11 normal15:39
penguin42erus: Well it's listed as being in natty as well, so make sure universe is enalbed in your package manager and tell it to install haskell-platform15:42
erus`its the 2010 version in natty afaict15:43
erus`the one in oneiric is 201115:43
Ian_Cornequick dirty: chance your sources to oneiric, update, install package, change back :p15:44
penguin42eres`: You can ask for a backport, (but I doubt that will happen until Oneiric is released), but you could get the package source and build it15:44
Ian_Cornehttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/haskell-platform15:45
Ian_Cornethere's a ppa with the 2011 version15:45
erus`Ian_Corne: do i just pull that and build it then?15:49
Ian_Corneyou do: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mbeloborodiy/ppa15:54
Ian_Cornesudo apt-get update15:54
Ian_Cornesudo apt-get install haskell-platform15:55
gnomefreaksince i dont have fglrx installed i cant see if it has been upgraded. can anyone tell me if it is fixed yet?16:02

penguin42the xserver-xorg-video-radeon I think16:07

gnomefreakpenguin42: not all that helpful at least for my brain today. is this of help http://paste.ubuntu.com/655726/16:14
gnomefreakcarrion: your not on unity?16:14
carrionno16:14
carrionGnome 316:14
penguin42gnomefreak: OK, that's the same as for me - can you do the whole file?16:15
gnomefreakpenguin42: yeah one sec16:15
gnomefreakpenguin42: http://paste.ubuntu.com/655730/16:16
gnomefreakcarrion: what are you looking for exactly?16:16
gnomefreakGnome 3 means nothing to me16:16
gnomefreakyou are not going to get Gnome 2 in 11.1016:17
gnomefreakcarrion: if you are looking to run unity you need to log out choose Ubuntu Desktop Edition from the choices for Unity16:18
penguin42gnomefreak: That looks good to me, what does glxinfo show ?16:18
carrionwhat are you talking about16:18
carrionwhy would i be looking to run unity if i'm asking about gnome 316:18
penguin42carrion: Did you install gnome3 from the ppa?16:18
carrionywa16:18
carrionyes*16:18
gnomefreakpenguin42: ill let you know once i can install it16:18
gnomefreakcarrion: on 11.10?16:18
gnomefreakhint not likely16:19
carrionyup16:19
carrionwell16:19
carrioni have16:19
penguin42carrion: Have you got gnome-shell installed ?16:19
gnomefreakwhy install something it comes with from a PPA16:19
carrionpenguin42, yeah16:19
gnomefreakcarrion: are you running 11.04?16:19
penguin42carrion: Hmm I think that should work; although gnomefreak has a point - I don't think you need the ppa any more16:20
carrion11.1016:20
carrioni used ppa before i update to 11.1016:20
carrionall i need to know is what theme packages i'm missing16:20
penguin42carrion: Ah, bad idea - always good to remove the ppa's before upgrade16:20
gnomefreakthat log into it16:20
carrionthey are removed16:20
penguin42oh, I see16:20
gnomefreakmost likely it borked. use update-manager -d to upgrade16:21
carriondude16:21
carrioni'm upgraded16:21
carriondear god.16:21
gnomefreakpenguin42: what is the package name for glxinfo16:21
penguin42carrion: The 2 things I can think of are 1) You've got broken graphics drivers and gnome-shell is objecting,  or 2) you've got some droppings left from the ppa that the native version is objecting to16:21
penguin42gnomefreak: apt-cache says mesa-utils16:22
gnomefreakthanks16:22
carrionthink autoremove will clear that up ?16:22
gnomefreakno autoremove clears up packages that you dont really need or use16:23
carrionhmm i cant think what it is16:23
gnomefreakpenguin42: http://paste.ubuntu.com/655732/  i gave you all of it :) you shouldnt need it all. but im confused with the output dir. rend. yes, look at it all be right back need a smoke16:24
carrionbrb a sec16:25
penguin42gnomefreak: From a quick eyeball that looks pretty much the same as mine16:26
penguin42gnomefreak: So what makes you say it's broken?16:26
gnomefreakpenguin42: unity was crashing and it was saying Unity 2D16:29
gnomefreakif direct rendering =yes than shouldnt i be running Unity 3D?16:30
penguin42gnomefreak: Hmm I'm not running Unity on ----> that machine, I'm running KDE on the Radeon machine16:30
penguin42gnomefreak: Yeh that should run 3d unity16:30
gnomefreakany idea on how to check which one im running for sure?16:30
penguin42xlsclients and see if it shows unity-window-decorator which I think is the 3d one only16:31
gnomefreakhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/655733/16:32
* penguin42 thinks that is 3d - it looks similar to mine16:32
gnomefreakhold on let me get something for you16:33
* penguin42 hopes it's a chocolate muffin16:33
gnomefreakthat was a waste :(16:36
gnomefreakdid you know classice desktop isnt being shipped with 11.10 instead it is using QT-based Unity 2D16:37
gnomefreakthat could explain why i have qt packages16:38
penguin42can kind of understand that; is there no metacity?16:38
gnomefreaknot from what im reading16:40
gnomefreakunity or nothing16:40
gnomefreakget a load of this ya it sucks, maybe the ubuntu people don't actually want to succeed anymore, maybe they're secretly trying to tell people to stop using their os.16:41
gnomefreaks/get a load of this ya/get a load of this, ya16:41
Daekdroompenguin42, there is metacity.16:46
gnomefreakmetacity has been removed16:51
gnomefreakwhat happened to xorg.conf :(16:51
penguin42xorg.conf disappeared years ago16:52
gnomefreakyeah im seeing that. and im not seeing anyway to get the info that used to be held there16:52
penguin42it's automagically figured out so you don't need to screw with them - but you can add one if you need to16:53
gnomefreakDaekdroom: http://techie-buzz.com/foss/ubuntu-11-10-will-not-have-the-gnome-classic-desktop.html16:53
gnomefreaki think that link has noise on it :(16:53
gnomefreaksorry bettter link http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-260988.html16:54
gnomefreakbrb need to think16:54
gnomefreakoh hell just search for it i have so many links open i cant find the one i wanted to give you16:55
bjsnidergnomefreak, what graphics chip are you using?16:55
penguin42bjsnider: 4xxx series Radeon16:56
bjsniderradeonhd 4k?16:56
penguin42bjsnider: From his log: [    12.221] (--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon HD 4200" (ChipID = 0x9710)16:57
bjsniderok, so i suppose your preferred driver is fglrx16:58
bjsnideri'm not sure if you're using that or not, but you have that option or the xorg ati driver16:59
penguin42bjsnider: Open driver works nicely for me on the 4350 - but I'm not a gamer (and this machine is on KDE)16:59
penguin42bjsnider: Yeh if you look at the scrollback the conv started with him asking if fglrx had got fixed, and I said why not try the open one, and he said the open one didn't work for him16:59
bjsniderfglrx may be broken at the moment and the foss driver may not work well on that hardware16:59
bjsniderwell, oneiric is alpha software, so i don't know what the big deal about stuff being broken is17:00
penguin42nod17:00
gnomefreakfglrx has been broken for a while17:02
gnomefreakits a 4200HD if that helps17:02
* gnomefreak thinking of the command i need:( its sad i have really been away too long17:03
gnomefreakbjsnider: im not using fglrx, how do i fond out why im running unity 2D17:04
gnomefreakis there a way to see what unity im running17:04
bjsnideryou're running unity 2d because you can't create a composited desktop due to the limitations of the graphics driver17:05
gnomefreakthats what i thought17:06
gnomefreakthanks17:06
bjsniderif that's a pic express card i'd certainly recommend replacing it with something by nvidia17:06
* penguin42 would definitely not recommending it by an nvidia - I like the open drivers!17:07
penguin42OO Radeon drivers seem more stable for me than ever17:07
bjsnidereven a cheap $50 410 or 420 would make all the difference17:07
gnomefreaki have a spare nvidia card but it doesnt like my windows 7 since default card in ati17:08
gnomefreaki cant access somethings in windows7 withou tthe ati for some stupid damn reason17:08
bjsniderpenguin42, apparently the radeon driver doesn't work so well for everybody17:08
gnomefreakFF got rid of the tab rows17:09
gnomefreakit works i just want my 3D back17:09
penguin42bjsnider: I'm not sure gnomefreak actually has 3d problems, as opposed to unity problems - his glxinfo and xorg.0.log look great17:09
bjsnidergnomefreak, can you successfuly run glxgears with a 4-digit framerate?17:10
penguin42mine is vsync locking - not sure how to unlock that17:11
gnomefreakbjsnider: how do i set frame rate?17:17
gnomefreak302 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.315 FPS17:18
=== __mikem is now known as mmiller235
gnomefreakthat is the first line of output17:18
gnomefreakfor frame rate17:18
penguin42yeh, it's sync locking to the monitor frame rate rather than running flat out17:22
bjsniderwell, at least he won't have any tearing on his composited desktop17:25
bjsniderthat is, if he could create a composited desktop17:25
bjsnidergnomefreak, maybe try installing gnome-shell and logging in to that?17:26
* gnomefreak too tired to create much of anything17:26
gnomefreakbjsnider: gnome-shell requires 3D IIRC17:26
bjsniderif gnome-shell works and unity doesn't tht means it's not a driver problem but a unity problem as penguin42 suggests17:26
bjsniderand he wins the extra special prize17:27
penguin42is it a muffin?17:27
rwwno, it's a Kubuntu CD17:27
bjsnidera grizzly bear will drop trow on your feet17:27
penguin42rww: bah, not as tasty - but lower calories!17:28
bjsniderwho would want a kubuntu cd?17:28
rwwpeople with bad internet connections, I guess17:28
bjsniderthere are only about 6 people in the world that use kubuntu17:29
* penguin42 is one17:29
rwwbjsnider: lol.17:29
bjsniderall of them have been institutionalized for observation17:29
gnomefreakbjsnider: penguin42 thanks ill try gnome-shell either tonight or tomorrow i have to get things done around the house17:29
