anthony96Hi, I just made a live CD of 11.10 alpha 3 and when it booted it loaded everything the way its supposed to but the mouse was black is this a bug or because the ATI drivers are not installed?01:15
bp0what does forced fallback mode mean in ubuntu?01:34
jbichabp0: I don't believe that button does anything in Ubuntu02:13
bp0huh02:24
bp0is there some package that allows the fallback mode?02:25
bp0ive got gnome-shell installed02:25
bp0if I set the fallback mode button and then restart into the GNOME session it causes an error and fails02:25
mrdebwho tried 1110 today02:46
jbichabp0: that button is supposed to run the Gnome Fallback session (which requires you to have gnome-session-fallback02:50
jbichaand gnome-panel installed) but I don't think the button will work02:50
jbichaoh nm, it does work, it's just not needed since you can pick your session when you log in02:53

adreanalinkHow can I let my system see packet I installed manually from make??09:31
bazhang!checkinstall | adreanalink09:32
ubottuadreanalink: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!09:32
adreanalinkhave the checkinstall  be supported by the configure file in the packet i'm installing?09:33
tsimpsonadreanalink: no, checkinstall just puts the installed files into a package, so the package manager can see it09:40
adreanalinkok09:40
adreanalinkso what's the goal installing with make?09:40
tsimpsonjust read the link, it shows instructions09:42
adreanalinkyes, it says to me how can I install with checkinstall and I will use it surely09:43
adreanalinkbut now I would know the goal of the make command, thus in the link it says it's not reccomended09:44
sagaciwhat's the equiv for gconf-editor in oneiric09:53
jbichasagaci: some settings are still in gconf-editor, others are in dconf-editor10:02
sagacijbicha: thanks for the advice10:03
jitaif i only do programming in django/python and use vim mostly, could i install alpha 3 without having problems ?11:52
bazhangjita, well it's alpha, so the usual caveats11:53
jitaok will stick with 11.04 for the time being11:53
jitabazhang: do you recommend doing dist-upgrade on 11.04 ?11:53
bazhangjita, the previous alpha worked wonderfully well for me, best to keep on th e lookoout here for problems if you do11:53
bazhangjita, version upgrade you mean?11:54
bazhang!dist-upgrade11:54
ubottuA dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu.11:54
jitabazhang: i havent changed the sources yet11:54
jitabazhang: no it only shows the upgrading of kernel11:54
bazhangjita, thats not the way to do it11:55
jitabazhang: so you dont recommend doing dist-upgrade only apt-get upgrade ?11:55
jitabazhang: i dont want to upgrade to alpha11:56
bazhangjita, from 11.04 to 11.10?11:56
jitabazhang: no i dont want to upgrade to 11.1011:56
bazhangdist-upgrade has Zero to do with version upgrade11:56
jitabazhang: should i use it on 11.04 ?11:56
bazhangjita, are packages held back?11:56
jitabazhang: yes kernel11:57
jitabazhang: newer one is available11:57
bazhangjita, which one11:57
jitabazhang: 2.6.38 i guess11:57
bazhanglsb_release -a in terminal please11:57
jitabazhang: no lsb modules, natty 11.0411:59
bazhangjita, sure, if you wish, or just wait for the other packages12:00
jitabazhang: wait for the other packages ?12:00
bazhangjita, the ones causing the holding back12:00
jitabazhang: currently 2.6.38-8 is installed and 2.6.38-10 is available using dist-upgrade12:01
bazhangjita, your choice really.12:01
jitabazhang: would you do it ?12:01
bazhangjita, probably not, I'd just wait a day or two for the other packages to arrive, then do the whole lot12:02
jitabazhang: apt-get upgrade never installs newer kernels ?12:04
bazhangjita, sure it does.12:05
jitabazhang: why doesnt it install 2.6.38-10 then ?12:05
bazhangjita, held back?12:05
Trewasjita: kernel versions usually change the package name, so dist-upgrade is required12:06
jitaTrewas: is it advised to do that ?12:06
icerootjita: bazhang apt-get upgrade does not install new kernels12:06
icerootjita: bazhang just apt-get dist-upgrade does12:06
Trewasjita: well yes, otherwise you won't get the new kernel12:07

TomSlominskiokay, should I resume normal boot now?14:44
TomSlominskiokay, i resumed and ive got a text login prompt. ill login and try to start lightdm14:46
hvfew questions re oneiric: 1. Has aptitude become noticably slower? 2. Is "man gsettings" broken?14:46
charlie-tcaTomSlominski: MIght have to do a restart yet.14:48
TomSlominskiit lives!14:48
charlie-tcahv: No manual entry for gsettings14:48
TomSlominskiI think it's really weird how Ubuntu sees some wi-fi networks without having Wi-Fi hardware connected to it.14:48
charlie-tcahv: I try not to use aptitude14:49
TomSlominskiwow, Unity is so much faster than Gnome 3.14:49
hvhv: why? what is wrong with aptitude?14:49

Broneksorry 11.10 :p14:50
escotti just updated from 11.04 to alpha my laptop which has btrfs on /. because btrfsck is useless I had removed the symlink from fsck.btrfs to btrfsck which made the 11.04 boot skip the check, but now the 11.10 boot is complaining. any idea why that would be14:51
Picihv: I'm not on Oneiric on this computer, but manpages.ubuntu.com claims that the manpage for 'gsettings' exists, but it appars to be blank. Is that what you're seeing?14:51
spacebug-will there be no option to use a screensaver or to never set the screen to go blank in 11.10 ? (all I can see is to just let it go blank and that option you cannot disable just set different times)14:52
hv/usr/share/man/man1/gsettings.1.gz says Man generation disabled. ...14:53
hvwhere would the manual be then?14:54
Picihv: I'd file a bug, unless its mentioned in the changelogs since the version in natty.14:54

hvTomSlominski: Apparently settings are now kept in ~/.config/dconf/user which is a binary file. Gonna find out how to access this database ...15:33

TomSlominskihv: apparetnly there is a "gsettings command line tool"15:36
hvTomSlominski: yeah, but I cannot find the manual for gsettings15:37
TomSlominskiand you can do things like: "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theeme 'Clearlooks'"15:37
TomSlominskihv: I'm under Fedora 15 right now and I've got the manual for gsettings15:38
TomSlominskihv: is there any way to export it?15:39
hvI guess gsettings is kinda modelled after "defaults" in OSX.15:39
hvwhich implies it is fast, and you should access it through "gsettings COMMMAND ..." commands15:40
hvdconf-editor from the package dconf-tools is good so far.15:40
hvI just need to find the name of the key15:40
hvcan you upload the man page somewhere? (probably the file /usr/share/man/man1/gsettings.1.gz)15:41
