alex_mayorgaAnyone else experiencing "funkyness" when doing Alt+Tab?00:43
urlin2umy computer plays Pfunk.00:44
Daekdroomalex_mayorga, Alt+tab is very slow here, but Dash is even slower.00:54
alex_mayorgaDaekdroom: what's "Dash"?00:54
alex_mayorgaI get overlapped UI on Alt+Tab00:55
DaekdroomIt's what shows up when you click the "Ubuntu" button in the launcher00:55
Daekdroomtry unity --reset to reset compiz settings to default and have only the new Alt+tab appear.00:55
alex_mayorgaDaekdroom: let me try that, does it need sudo?00:56
DaekdroomNope00:56
alex_mayorgaDaekdroom: a bug I see in "dash" is that the arrow keys doesn't move the selection00:56
alex_mayorgagot a bunch of warnings there, worth reporting?01:02
alex_mayorgahttp://paste.ubuntu.com/666127/01:31
alex_mayorgaabove is the output of  unity --reset so far01:31
alex_mayorgaDaekdroom: is my unity messed up?01:32
pr0dall is not well in the ubuntu camp. http://pastebin.com/Rdv08yqr . Im trying to add a pci device for passthrough in xen 4.1 ubuntu 11.10. Any help would be hugely appreciated, google didnt help01:35
alex_mayorgaDaekdroom: the terminal where I ran unity --reset is yet to return a prompt, would it break anything if I Ctrl+C ?01:37
Daekdroomalex_mayorga, yep01:38
alex_mayorgapr0d: time to bug virt-manager it seems01:38
Daekdroomalex_mayorga, you can use Alt+F2 'unity' so you can close the terminal.01:38
alex_mayorgaDaekdroom: so I better leave it alone until it finishes?01:38
DaekdroomWell, the terminal will be busy as long as that unity PID is running.01:38
DaekdroomI forgot to mention you should have used &disown, my bad.01:39
alex_mayorgaDaekdroom: no worries, did you get a chance to look at my paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/666127/01:39
alex_mayorgaperhaps it does need sudo01:39
alex_mayorga?01:40
DaekdroomNope. Whatever causes those errors is not because you didn't run it with sudo.01:40
alex_mayorgaDaekdroom: mind giving me the complete command once more?01:40
Daekdroomunity --reset &disown01:40
alex_mayorgaI see01:40
Daekdroom--reset specifically sets everything to default01:40
alex_mayorgaAlt+Tab looks better now, though01:41
pr0dcan anyone tell me where the xm vm config file are stored. I cant seem to find the plain text files i am used to on previous distros01:44
pr0dxen*01:44
alex_mayorgaDaekdroom: this is the latest http://paste.ubuntu.com/666141/01:58
alex_mayorgais a compiz crash expected here?01:58
alex_mayorgait also crashed chromium while at it02:00
DaekdroomI can't tell.02:00
DaekdroomUnity has crashed a lot in here, specially the window manager.02:01

PythonPupinteresting command.  I'll try it.  thanks.08:00
magn3tsplease do not remove synaptic08:02
PythonPupThey plan to just remove it from the CD, as far as I have read.  It will stay in the repo, so after you boot up, just go to a command line and   sudo apt-get install synaptic08:03
mvoor install it from software-center even08:03

Rods_Tigeris there a way of quickly disabling the screensaver / screen blanking altogether in ocelot?14:02
jtaylorI'd also like to know that14:02
Ian_Corne22:20:41 < trism> Rods_Tiger: currently I have: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver idle-activation-enabled false; and then xset -dpms; and that seems to have killed it14:02
Ian_Cornedidn't that work last night Rods_Tiger ?14:03
jtaylorwhen the saver kicks in I ahve to crash it to get back to the desktop14:03
jtaylor(luckyly crashing it is very easy ^^)14:03
Ian_Cornejtaylor: hmm14:03
Ian_Cornemaybe it's the screensaver that's slow after suspend..14:03
Rods_Tigerreally? I've used xset -dpms in various combinations but although it keeps the screen alive, there's still something that just draws a 'blank page' over the screen content14:03
Ian_Corneif you wait long  jtaylor it comes back14:04
Rods_Tigerand also another thing, setting it to 1 hour doesn't give one hour - more like a few mins14:04
jtaylorwell I can type into windows under the screensaver so its all still running14:04
jtaylor(typed my user pw into irc because of that once ._.)14:04

Rods_Tigerwhere does that go?14:05

Ian_Corneit's a command14:05
Rods_Tigerok14:05
Ian_Corne"gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver idle-activation-enabled false"14:05
Ian_Cornein the command line14:05
Rods_TigerI'll try that14:05
Ian_Corneit will set that key to false14:05
jtaylorthx I'll try if that setting works14:06
Rods_TigerI've typed it in. Now I just need to wait until nothing happens, to see if it works14:07
Ian_Corne:D14:08
Rods_Tigeractually, I thought of an idea for ocelot for when it is released - implement 'airprint' functionality built in, so that iPads can print to ocelot connected printers. That'd be extremely popular. No idea how to do it myself though.14:11
Ian_Cornebleh apple stuff :p14:12
Rods_Tiger?14:12
jtaylorhurray it worked14:23
jtaylordoesn't oneiric have airprint already? I read a mail about it in -dev a while ago14:24

rlyI would like adhoc networking to work in 11.04, but is appears that you need a fairly new kernel for that to work; one which is available in Ubuntu+1. Are there also backported kernels (with nvidia packages) available?18:29
Picirly: no.18:30
dsathePici: still no luck on either a compile or a install of nvidia on a ck kernel18:30
rlyPici: it is quite disappointing that these basic things don't work (they did work in 10.10, so I have read)18:30
dsatheany ideas ?18:30
jarnosIt seems like Oneiric installation made swap unavailable to other installatons.18:31
rlyPici: will installing Oneriric Ocelot release gremlins?18:31
PiciNew kernel versions aren't backported, and I don't believe that the 3.x release was stuck in the kernel ppa.18:31
Picirly: yes.18:31
rlyOneiric Ocelot*18:31
PiciIts rather often that people are asking in here about nvidia issues :/18:32
jarnosIs it safe to reformat swap partition so that Natty can use it?18:32
dsathefunny these issues seem very ubuntu specific too18:32
dsatheoneric specific more like it18:33
trismdsathe: may be something specific to the ck kernel, I build 3.0.1 with make-kpkg yesterday as a test and nvidia-current rebuilt for it without issues18:36
rlyI find it curious that every single time I just have built the last released kernel everything has worked while distro specific kernels always have more bugs.18:38
trismdsathe: oh, actually as a test I just moved the source directories out of the way so the links to the source would be deleted and just the headers package used and I'm getting the same error you are18:42
trismdsathe: so you may want to try rebuilding the kernel with make-kpkg so you have the built source available18:42
trismdsathe: it seems the linux-headers package is missing some files the dkms scripts expect, but they are present in the source tree (vbox is dying on Makefile_32.cpu here according to make.log)18:49

billybigriggeri'm just doing an upgrade to 11.10, just wondering is lightdm now the default as setup is asking me to choose between gdm and lightdm...20:17
billybigriggerand i would prefer to choose whatever 11.10 is going to use as default20:18
Picibillybigrigger: lightdm20:18
bjsnider!ask20:18
ubottuPlease 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. :-)20:18
BluesKajbillybigrigger, go with gdm, from what I've seen there's bugs in lightdm20:18
bjsniderMrDave, ^^^20:19
MrDavebillybigrigger,  heres a good article on that,  http://www.webupd8.org/2011/07/how-to-switch-between-gdm-lightdm-or.html20:19

dsatheXF86KbdBrightnessUp how can i emulate thi event ?20:19
billybigriggeralright thanks for the input guys :) appreciate it20:19

BUGabundobillybigrigger: WOW you were *really* away :O20:40
billybigriggeroh yeah buddy haha20:40
billybigriggerwhat's the best way to install nvidia drivers....dl and run the .run or alternate drivers via ubuntu20:41
billybigriggererrr...i should say less hassle not best way20:41
BUGabundobillybigrigger: not running blob at all :)20:42
BUGabundobut if you really really want, jockey20:42
billybigriggerwell native ubuntu doesn't like my hdtv, i cant see any of the top or bottom, meaning i have to create launchers for everything on the desktop, ie, /home, terminal, etc etc20:43
billybigriggerhoping the drivers in 11.10 will be better than .0420:43
billybigriggerand maybe i can figure out this resolution problem20:43
ikoniayou do know they are not made by ubuntu right ?20:43
Ian_Cornebillybigrigger: that wont help20:43
billybigriggerxorg drivers20:43
Ian_Cornetvs cut off part of the resolution20:43
ikoniabillybigrigger: yes, you know they are not made by ubuntu ?20:44
billybigriggeryeah, by xorg20:44
Ian_Cornean hdtv is not really 1920x1080 visible20:44
billybigriggeri hate to say this but winblows 7 has no problem, i'd prefer to get it sorted in .10 so i can quit using it on this desktop20:44
Ian_Cornehmm20:45
billybigriggerso if 7 can do it, i'm sure i can get it figured on .1020:45
Ian_Corneweird :)20:45
billybigriggermind you i got it configured correctly via nvidia system control, so i was thinking i'd need the 280.13 drivers in ubuntu aswell20:45
Ian_Cornei've found something in amdcccle, it lets you select PAL as screen size20:45
ikoniabillybigrigger: it's called "windows"20:46
* billybigrigger hates the word20:46
ikoniabillybigrigger: the xorg drivers for nvidia are made by nvidia - not xorg,20:46
billybigriggersince when?20:47
* billybigrigger didn't know that20:47
bjsniderforever20:47
BluesKajbillybigrigger, yup, 280.13 is best so far , works well with my elcheapo 8400gs ..no res probs20:47
ikoniabillybigrigger: since always20:47
ikoniabillybigrigger: they are a closed source product made by nvidia20:47
ali1234HDTV *better* be 1080 visible, otherwise it's only "HD ready"20:47
billybigriggerhmmmm learn something new every day20:47
ikoniabillybigrigger: hence why problems can't really be resolved, as they are closed to all but nvidia20:47
bjsnidernvidia also has its own closed-source opengl system. they don't use mesa at all20:48
ikoniabillybigrigger: they have to be compatible with 200+ distribution using many different versions of libc/xorg/kernel in different combination20:48
billybigriggerwell i guess it's 280.13 for me20:48
ikoniahence why they don't always work20:48
BluesKajali1234, plasma tv here , 1920x1080 res is just fine20:49
BluesKajtv info setting rads 1080p20:50

billybigrigger\?22020:53
billybigriggerÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÈ+*UI?&20:56
billybigrigger_hmm compiz crash already :(20:56
coz_billybigrigger,  do you have the crash report plugin enabled?20:57
billybigrigger_if not enabled by default then no, all i can see right now is my background, im running off my 52" hdtv via hdmi and resolution is messed up20:58
billybigrigger_alt-f2 doesnt work so i have to create launchers for everything off the desktop20:58
billybigrigger_anywho, i see that jockey STILL doesn't show you what version of a driver it's installing...ie i have 2 choices for nvidia drivers, NVIDIA accelerated grapchics driver (version currenct [Recommended] or Experimental 3D support for Nvidia cards, neither show a driver version number21:00
Ian_Cornethe current is 280.1321:00
billybigrigger_yup i know it is21:00
Ian_Corneok21:00
billybigrigger_jockey doesn't say anywhere what version im installing21:01
billybigrigger_how do i know it's installing 280.13? :P21:01
Ian_Corneapt-cache policy nvidia-current!21:01
Ian_Corne:p21:01
billybigrigger_i thought i filled a bug report on this lonnnnnggggg time ago :P21:01
billybigrigger_that's not what i'm getting it21:01
billybigrigger_at21:01
Ian_CorneI know21:01
Ian_Corne:)21:01
billybigrigger_:P21:02
BluesKajbillybigrigger_, stay away from the experimental , nvidia current should be the 28021:03
billybigrigger_i will say this, ubuntu is alot easier to look at compared to winblows 7 on this tv21:03
billybigrigger_BluesKaj, i see that experimental is free drivers, not licensed, so i'm assuming they are very new, i stayed away from them :P21:04
billybigrigger_ok need a restart, brb21:04
BluesKajbillybigrigger_, good cuz i tried the experimental...broke X21:04
billybigriggerdamn resolution, have to hard restart my computer because i canèt see anything21:05
BluesKajbillybigrigger, ok , one thing ..there's a chance you may need to do a nomodeset in grub21:06
Ian_Corneapw: hey21:06
billybigrigger_hmm this is messed right up21:09
MrDaveis the ATi driver safe to install on 11.10, anyone know?21:09

Ian_CorneI've got win7 on here too21:13
MrDavei wish i could have 3 boot options, i would like to have fedora on the same drive21:13
Ian_Cornebut i can't last longer then an hour21:13
MrDavelol21:14
ikoniaMrDave: that would be unwise21:14
MrDavey?21:14
ikoniaubuntu's grub2 configuration is not helpful for multi-distro booting21:14
MrDavei see, what would i need to do that21:15
Ian_Corneand also, running fedora and ubuntu on the same homedir21:15
ikonianothing. its a bad idea21:15
Ian_Cornewill get your sessions messed up21:15
MrDaveoh21:15
ikoniadon't share home21:15
Ian_Corneyou can do it, but it's a hassle :)21:16
MrDavei dont want too, i want to install fedora on a seperate partition21:16
Ian_Cornewell, obviously on a seperate partition :)21:16
MrDavei dont know how to make it so that partition is bootable though21:17
Ian_Cornegparted21:17
MrDaveoh21:17
Ian_Cornebut see, if you don't know this, you're in for a world of pain :)21:17
MrDavecan i use gparted to make say, a HAIKU OS partition bootable?21:17
ikoniaMrDave: did you put a bootloader on that partition ?21:18
MrDavei have not created it21:18

BluesKajerr 42"21:36
Ian_Cornebillybigrigger_: i've searched for font in the system setings, but it's not found anything :p21:36
billybigrigger_alt-f2 run dialog gone in 11.10 too?21:36
billybigrigger_ahhh21:37
billybigrigger_gconf still works :)21:37
Ian_Corneno billybigrigger_21:37
Ian_Corneit should still work21:37
Ian_Corneit does for me21:37
billybigrigger_in gconf /desktop/gnome/font_rendering21:37
Ian_Corneupdating now tho21:37
billybigrigger_dpi is set to 96...i dont really know which way to go with this being a hdtv21:37
billybigrigger_anyone here a font guru? that could lend a hand?21:38
Ian_Cornebigger21:38
Ian_Cornego bigger21:38
billybigrigger_on what scale21:38
Ian_Cornetry 120? :p21:38
billybigrigger_hehe love your random thoughts haha21:38
BluesKajyeah, always wondered where the font settings are in gnome ....kde is application appearance/..set the dpi to 120 ..it's smoother on an hdtv21:38
Ian_Corne120 rings a bell billybigrigger_21:39
Ian_Corne72 also21:39
billybigrigger_any quick ways of restarting gnome these days? i remember ctrl alt backspace used to restart gdm, but not anymore since i'm using lightdm21:39
Ian_Cornelogout21:39
Ian_Corneand login21:39
BluesKajbbl21:40
Ian_Cornewonderful21:41
Ian_Cornetry to update21:41
Ian_Corne"update manager has closed.."21:41
billybigrigger_setting the dpi to 120 did sfa21:41
Ian_Cornesfa?21:41
billybigrigger_sweet eff all21:41
Ian_Corneyou shouldn't have to restart gnome btw :p21:41
Ian_Cornealtho i don't know if you use gconf21:42
Ian_Cornemaybe the gconf settings were for gnome2...21:42
Ian_Cornei've seen some1 use gsettings21:42
billybigrigger_cmon no devs around can tell me how to change the font dpi?21:47
MrDavetheir crabby21:47
MrDaveheheh21:47
=== __mikem is now known as mmiller235
billybigrigger_we are now running gnome3 in 11.10 correct?21:48
Ian_Corneyes21:49
billybigrigger_ok21:49
billybigrigger_atleast i can start looking in #gnome or the web...this is kinda bs considering someone in here knows the answer to a simple question...21:50
Ian_Corne..21:51
MrDavewhats mindmapping21:51
Ian_Cornemaybe they're not around atm?21:51
billybigrigger_#gnome is very helpful :P21:55
billybigrigger_fyi, dconf is for gnome3 settings21:55
billybigrigger_just to let everyone know21:55
billybigrigger_and gnome-tweak-tool lets you freely scale the font dpi, apparently the dpi is all hardcoded to 96 in gnome321:55
Ian_Corneok21:58
Ian_Corneeww21:58
Ian_Corne:p21:58
billybigrigger_gnome-tweak-tool seems the best way to change dpi22:00
billybigrigger_you can change system fonts, text scaling factor, hinting, and AA in there22:00
billybigrigger_i guess you can change gnome3 themes in there too22:01
jonneapt is having issues with a broken package named libmono-webbrowser4.0-cil_2.10.3-1_all.deb . is there something i can do to fix this or do i have to wait for the maintainers to fix the issue?22:04

jonne trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/mono/4.0/Mono.WebBrowser.dll', which is also in package libmono-webbrowser0.5-cil 2.10.1-4ubuntu122:05
jbichajonne: you can manually force remove the 0.5 version and install the 4.0 one, or just wait22:12
jbichabillybigrigger_: alt+f2 isn't gone, it just may not be working as well in new Unity, keyboard shortcuts especially have had issues22:13
billybigrigger_ok thank jbicha22:15
billybigrigger_anyone know how to disable audio via hdmi in with an nvidia card?22:15
billybigrigger_i have dvi out from my 9800gtx+ going to hdmi in on my tv...22:16

jbichabillybigrigger_: no idea, but did you try Sound Setttings?22:16
billybigrigger_music worked fine this way in winblows 722:16
billybigrigger_so i know it works22:16
IdleOneunplug it22:16
billybigrigger_unplug what?22:16
jonnesudo apt-get -f remove libmono-webbrowser0.5-cil  ?22:17
jonnedoesn't seem to work22:17
billybigrigger_IdleOne, unplug what?22:18
IdleOnebillybigrigger: sorry I misunderstood what you were asking.22:19
jbichajonne: yeah, it's not a simple one to workaround, I think I used Synaptic, it's probably safer to just wait for it to get fixed22:23
* micahg made a patch for the mono issue, but we're waiting on a sync from experimental to fix it22:26
jonnewell, x is broken too, so, yeah22:41
