jtaylorhm seem to have figured it out, sound was set to my hdmi graphic card which isn't plugged in, setting it back to internal seems to fix it00:12
jtaylorI wonder why that happens after starting mplayer00:12
penguin42jtaylor: Ah interesting - KDE or Gnome?00:19
penguin42jtaylor: Last few weeks on KDE I've been getting a message during some boots saying something like 'We've switched to HDMI output on ... because it's higher priority in something'00:22
penguin42and then I have to flip it back00:22
yofelI did get that too, but has been stable for a while now00:23
jtaylorgnome/unity00:24
* penguin42 doesn't know how it decides which way it intends to send the sound00:26
jtaylorthe strange thing was that flash did still ahve sound00:26
jtaylorok lost sound again00:28
jtaylorsomething else is still wrong00:28

Peddyis anyone else's gnome shell crashing with  "gnome-shell-calendar-server[3019]: Got HUP on stdin - exiting"?02:41
Peddyhey jbicha - i'm just going to repeat my issue in case there is already a bug report. Are there any reports of gnome-shell crashing with "gnome-shell-calendar-server[3019]: Got HUP on stdin - exiting"?02:46
jbichaPeddy: I haven't seen that reported yet, but I've experienced that crash03:12
ruffleSguys.. i'm trying to create a live usb but i'm havin' no luck. unetbootin doesn't work and extracting .iso files into the USB flash drive doesn't work either03:17
jbicharuffleS: did you try USB Creator?03:19
ruffleSjbicha i'm on windows, sorry, forgot to mention03:22
urlin2uruffleS, are experienced with linux?03:22
ruffleSurlin2u yeah i think so03:23
urlin2uyou03:23
ruffleSi guess so, yeah...03:23
urlin2uruffleS, cool sometimes new users download a development before release.03:23
jbichaPeddy: I wonder if the root cause for bug 816762 is causing some of our instability though, haven't looked at the code to verify03:23
ubottuLaunchpad bug 816762 in gobject-introspection (Ubuntu) "gnome-shell Alt+F2 can’t run anything" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/81676203:23
ruffleSi've been a linux user for a loooooooooooong time... i'm currently on windows now 'cuz i was not happy with previous 2 ubuntu releases03:24
urlin2uruffleS, sometimes those dailies don't boot as well, in those csases I just try the next days, but I know the thumbloader that works for me.03:24
urlin2ucases.03:24
Peddyjbicha, even though I  updated through the ppa in comment #1203:25
Peddy?03:25
ruffleSurlin2u well... i downloaded the daily build .iso file like 2 or 3 weeks ago, tried to make the live usb but it didn't work so i updated it using zsync and cygwin twice and i'm havin' no luck so far. i know for a fact that .iso file is working under virtualbox03:26
urlin2uruffleS, strange unetbootin should work, there is this one as well. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/03:27
jbichaPeddy: oh, I use that PPA too, hmm03:27
jbichaPeddy: I'm annoyed that gnome-shell didn't release a 3.1.5 version, 3.1.4 is a month old now03:28
ruffleSoneiric daily buil images are now hybrid so i figured something might have changed which would stop unetbootin from working03:29
ruffleSbuild*03:29
Peddyjbicha, oh, I assumed you were on the Gnome development team for some reason. Do you have a say in the matter?03:31
jbicharuffleS: this may be a bit crazy, but can't you try mounting your USB drive in VirtualBox?03:31
ruffleSit got me so pissed i even tried arch and i couldn't get it installed unless i had to wipe my entire HDD clean so it was unacceptable03:31
jbichaPeddy: no, I'm not really even a programmer, I do help with packaging and some minor bug fixes but this is beyond my skills03:31
ruffleSjbicha what do you mean? i think i could access the usb drive in VB if i tried so... i even tried to make the live usb using dd from within cygwin but i don't think i got it right...03:32
jbicharuffleS: install Ubuntu to VirtualBox and then use that working install to burn the ISO to your USB but that's probably a bit of overkill03:34
jbichaalso are you sure that your computer is set to boot from usb first?03:35
jbichaand you could save time by just burning to a CD if you have one03:35
ruffleSjbicha yep.. i can select it upon boot time by pressing F1203:36
ruffleSjbicha yeah.. i could burn it to a cd for sure.. i was just trying to save the cd for when oneiric is released03:36
urlin2uruffleS, what do you see when the thumb is chosen at the f12 prompt?03:36
ruffleSurlin2u well.. on previous ubuntu versions i could see the USB disk option..03:37
urlin2unone now?03:37
ruffleSnone...03:37
urlin2uno usb opton?03:37
ruffleSdefinitely not...03:38
urlin2uthat sounds more like a thumb problem, have you reformatted it for a clean partition?03:38

gaelfxfeature freeze happens when in beta, correct?06:11
gaelfxI mean, they won't change any of the packages in Oneiric after they release the beta, right?06:16
urlin2uchanges go till the freeze at various stages06:18
urlin2uhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule06:19
gaelfxoh, so the freeze happens per release then?06:19
gaelfxyeah, I was checking that, but it's not loading right now (China), so I decided to be a pest and just ask here06:20
urlin2uthe link is probably clearer, but a change has been known to happen if a mistake is made, not often yhough06:20
urlin2uif you click on the info it will sort of explain, lol anything can happen really.06:21
gaelfxyeah, it finally loaded, after about 15 minutes of waiting, I think I found what I was looking for06:22
gaelfxI'm debating whether or not I should upgrade my Maverick install or just wait for the next LTS release06:23
urlin2umaverick will only upgrade to natty not Oneiric06:25
gaelfxhaha, I shouldn't have said upgrade06:25
gaelfxI have it set up so I can reinstall pretty easily, separate / and /home partitions, but my / is on a USB flash drive, so I'm not sure if I should bother with another reinstall now or not06:26
urlin2uyou mean a fresh install try it out first on a thumb or cd06:26
urlin2udifferent desktop then maverick06:27
urlin2uthan06:27
gaelfxwell, I don't have a CD and my experience has been that the liveUSB versions don't really do justice to a full install06:27
gaelfxI thought you could still use the Classic style gnome desktop in Oneiric though?06:27
urlin2uno oneiric is unity and gnome3, although I have heard that one can install a classic don't know for sure06:29
gaelfxwell, I know that Gnome 3 has some major changes compared to Gnome 2, but I'm just worried about whether or not I have to use Unity?06:30
Lynourerecentry on HP Pavalion dv6, Kubuntu does detect that the battery is discharging if I unplug the power, but it still thinks it's plugged in.06:30
urlin2uI believe you have a choice of unity or gnome3, like in natty it is classic or unity.06:31
gaelfxok, spiffy, thanks man06:31
urlin2uno problem06:31
gaelfxoh, do you know how to get the Gnome 3desktop running on a LiveUSB? do I need to add an option when booting it?06:32

defendguinthanks07:45
urlin2uno problem07:46
defendguini heard the boot times were significantly faster in oneiric07:47
urlin2udefendguin, hard to say really there pretty fast really, depends on your hardware to some extent07:48
urlin2unatty boots fast07:48
defendguini skipped natty07:48
urlin2uUbuntu shutdowns are the fastest for any OS I use07:49
defendguinsomeone practically gave me a mac book pro and i've been giving it a spin  for a while and never updated my old pc07:49

allu2Hello, anyidea why in the hum how to say.. the button in upright corner that is used to logout opens me "empty" menu? is this known bug or just me?08:29
allu2problem occured few days ago and i dist-upgraded today yet it stays, i also tried "rm -rf .gc* .gn*" in my home but after restarting X there was no change08:31
htorqueallu2: why would you do "rm -rf .gc* .gn*"? create a new user account and log into that one. if you also get the empty menu there, then it's a system wide issue.08:33
allu2htorque: is it enough to login as a guest?08:33

pr0dHi, I really struggling to fully install my r8168 driver. The install scripts from realtek do not work, although a combination of many workarounds i can insmod the driver but not after a reboot13:50
VolkodavI keep getting the pop up for the password for my wireless for Macbook 7.113:51
BluesKajpr0d, have you tried wicd ..it works with most realteks13:53
pr0dnever heard of it but i shall google it now13:53
BluesKaj!wicd13:54
pr0dseems quite over the top for my requirements13:55
BluesKaj!info wicd13:55
ubottuwicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager - metapackage. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.0+ds1-6 (oneiric), package size 7 kB, installed size 56 kB13:55
pr0dI had this problem with opensuse but the realtek installer work a charm. Seems a shame i cant get the installer to work on oneiric13:58
BluesKajpr0d, what are your requirements ...I assumed you're looking for a wifi connection to work13:58
pr0dno, its a pcie 1Gbe ethernet controller built into my mobo13:59
pr0dI have fixed this problem on other distros but the installer wont work on oneiric14:00
BluesKajok ethernet should work right out of the box14:00
pr0dno, this adapter has never worked with the r8169 driver14:00
Volkodavlooks like they changed the setting in fconf-editor in gnome3 - trying to turn off gnome desktop in xfce along with nautilus - earlier settings just not there ?>14:00

=== STiK_ is now known as STiK
BluesKajpr0d, if it's a pcie 1Gbe ethernet controller, then you should make the choice in peripherals in the bios14:08
pr0dI am using "Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)". This controller is known to not work with the default r8169 module. Following other people with this problem led me to use the realtek driver provided on their website. This works in other distro fine but oneiric gives me "FATAL: Module r8168 not found."14:11
pr0dLooking further into this problem led me to make the driver from source but this also fails with "/src/Makefile no such file or directory"14:12
pr0dwith even more workarounds and headscratching i can finally insmod the driver but my linux skills fail and cannot make this change permanent.14:13
BluesKajpr0d, check this : http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/linux/4020894-ubuntu-natty-and-r8168-lan-driver.html14:14
pr0dHis problems are not related to my problems at all14:17

Volkodavany idea how to turn off nautilis and gnome desktop in xfce ?14:25
pr0dyes, the hardware is fine. After many workarounds for the installer i can insmod the driver and the NIC springs to life14:26
pr0dbut I cant make the change permanent14:26
BluesKajpr0d, that's due to the hw not being permanent in the bios..there's gotta be a way to change it14:27
BluesKajthat's your problem, all the workarounds in the world won't help if the hw isn't recognized at boot14:28
pr0dOpensuse handled this fine, I didnt change anything in the bios i just installed the driver and it worked fine!14:28

pr0di need a proper robust solution really, this is going to be my xen lab14:56
BluesKajpr0d,  one solution is to get a differnt controller card , NICs are cheap theses days , and surely you can find one that works on ubuntu,  without much trouble.15:00
Ian_Corneyofel: he could put it in the earlier run levels15:01
pr0dI already have, i am using an intel pcie adapter right now. But this card will be passed through to VMs and need a backbone controller for Dom0. All expansion slots are exhausted with other hardware i need15:01

charlie-tcabullgard6: as far as I know, there is no substitute15:19
carli2also the nm-applet does not allow me to connect to a network. (i finally edited /etc/network/interfaces)15:19
bullgard6charlie-tca: hm15:19
carli2i chose "Ubuntu Classic (without effects)" in gdm15:19
charlie-tcacarli2: in Oneiric?15:20
charlie-tcawhich now uses lightdm?15:20
carli2charlie-tca: yes, i installed a package15:20
carli2i need the window properties... i need teh window autofocus. why is that feature removed?15:20
carli2i also want to use kmod4 instead of Alt to move windows around15:21
charlie-tcaYou should ask in #ayatana, where those decisions are made15:21
carli2i installed gnome-session-fallback15:21
Ian_Corne!info gnome-session-fallback15:22
ubottugnome-session-fallback (source: gnome-session): GNOME Session Manager - GNOME fallback session. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.1.5-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 5 kB, installed size 196 kB15:22
carli2these sessions shouldnt be using unity15:22
Ian_CorneThis package contains the required components for the GNOME 3 fallback session, based on the GNOME Panel. It can be started from a display manager such as GDM, and doesn´t have specific hardware requirements.15:22
charlie-tcaOkay15:22
Ian_Cornethey use gnome3/gnome-shell I think15:23
carli2:o i can choose between gnome3 and unity? thats weird15:23
Ian_Corneyes15:24
carli2gnome2 was the most advanced and bug-free desktop supporting multi monitor, a customizable panel and other fancy things15:24
Ian_Cornewhy is that weird?15:24
Ian_Cornecarli2: i think you're really looking to stay with gnome2, there's a fork of ubuntu15:24
Ian_Cornethat will support gnome215:24
Ian_Cornefor the moment, I'd advise staying on 10.0415:24
pr0dThats good to know, im no0t a big fan of unity myself either15:24
Ian_CorneI doubt it'll get good support tho15:25
carli2i once shared ubuntu with everyone, but nowadays, i only recommend LTS.15:25
pr0dI think unity still needs lots of work15:25
Ian_Cornecarli2: I always advise LTS to everyone15:26
carli2unity has a lot of fancy delays that make menus look better but destroy usability for a power user15:26
Ian_Corneunless they *need* cutting edge15:26
carli2well, i myself need cutting edge. (but i can compile kernel 3.1 for LTS for myself, too)15:26
Ian_Cornethere's also ppa's15:27
pr0di must say though unity has improved a lot from the 10.04 netbook release :D15:27
pr0dI cant recall ever swearing as much as when i first installed that on my acer one.15:28
carli2what i'm missing most is the ability to change the settings of some things15:28
pr0dor was it 10.10?15:29
Ian_Cornein 12.04 it will be very nice15:29
pr0dhopefully15:29
carli212.04 LTS??15:29
carli2i need the autofocus back..15:30
carli2i'm always closing the wrong tabs in the wrong programs15:30
carli2what i hate at windows is that i have to click on a window when i want to have keyboard focus. oneiric introduced that feature :S15:32
Ian_Cornecarli2: !15:36
Ian_Corneapt-get install gnome-tweak-tool15:36
Ian_Corneand then go to window15:37
carli2gnome-tweak-tool installs mutter :o15:37
Ian_Corneyou can select it there :)15:37
Ian_Corneyeah don't mind that :p15:37
Ian_Corneit works ;-)15:37
carli2i'm using the same gconf than with 10.04 where autofocus is set on. but 11.10 seems to not take care of this flag15:38
Ian_Cornebecause it's not gnome2 anymore..15:39
Ian_Corneget that in your head please15:39
carli2the dialog of the tweak tool is too small and i cant resize it15:40
carli2i have to guess what is written on the buttons15:40
carli2and the tweak-tool's changes dont have any effect on my running system15:41
Ian_Corneit works for me15:41
Ian_Cornebut maybe that's because you're in the "fallback" session15:41
Ian_Cornewhich i have no clue what it is15:41
carli2i'll try to run mutter instead of metacity15:42
carli2aaah :) works15:42
carli2and now the missing settings managers...15:44
Ian_Corneccsm15:47
Ian_Corneis your best bet15:47
carli2not that. gnome-window-properties was the old name15:47
carli2and the settings window is moved to a place where i dont want it after returning back to the main settings menu15:48
carli2ccsm dosent start. i'm working with gconf-editor15:49
carli2oh, the start of ccsm was delayed15:49
carli2and the ccsm window closed when i wanted to disable "composite"15:50
Ian_Cornei'm gonna stop helping you now, you obviously don't want ANY change, and if you don't want that, just stay on 10.04 or move to another distro.15:55
Ian_CorneBye15:55
graingertheya15:55
graingertwhy does installing zsnes on ubuntu 11.10 remove ubuntu-desktop and vlc?15:56
Ian_Cornegraingert: 64 bit?15:56
graingertIan_Corne: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/676630/ yep15:57
graingertit seems a bit dangerous15:57
Ian_CorneI think it has to do with the multiarch problems15:57
Ian_Cornedon't do it.15:57
carli2Ian_Corne: the problem is not that sth is different but that the fastest way to use XYZ on the older system was much faster than on the new system. plus it's unfinished and i'm giving hints where the priority is. are you a developer?15:57
Ian_Corneno15:57
graingertyeah can this package be disabled for newbs?15:57
Ian_Cornewell, not for ubuntu15:57
graingertas they might just mash y a lot15:57
Ian_Cornegraingert: i think the problems should not be there anymore when 11.10 releases15:58
graingertIan_Corne: you hope15:58
graingertalso15:58
graingertubuntu 11.10 seems to have either upgraded my wireless card to 5ghz or hacked into my router and set the 5ghz channel to 2.415:59
Ian_Corne:D15:59
graingertI can't decide what is more likely15:59
Ian_Cornewell, maybe the new module in the 3.0 kernel enabled that?15:59
graingertas I am currently chatting to you one something that shouldn't be working15:59
carli2ah, another question: where can i set the number of virtual desktops in unity?15:59
graingertccsm16:01
graingertafaik16:01
graingertcarli2:16:01
graingert^16:01
carli2the user interface for the settings needs a lot more work. i remember 11.04 had nearly nothing customizable16:02
graingertcarli2: it's not supposed to be customizable16:04
graingertotherwise you will ruin the ubuntu look16:04
graingertwhat happned to the gear/power combined button16:04
graingertit seems to be a power button with a gear hanging from it16:05
carli2:o when i want to have a system with a cool look that is not customizable, i buy a mac.16:05
graingertcarli2: k16:05
Ian_Corneexcept you can still change stuff, just not when you're using unity16:12
Ian_Corneapt-get install any other wm/de and you're good to go16:13
Ian_Corneso stop ragin on unity, you've got options.16:13
carli2hey, that's my feedback.16:13
carli2i could have been changed to lxde like linus, but i want to help improving the std. desktop of ubuntu, because that's what users see first16:14
Ian_Corneyou're giving feedback on descisions already made16:14
carli2to remove some features instead of hiding them?16:14
Ian_Cornethere's nothing remove16:16
Ian_Corneremoved16:16
Ian_Cornethe settings stuff was never there in unity16:16
Ian_Corneit's not added16:16
Ian_Cornenothing is removed16:16
carli2it's a lot of unimplemented or unfinished stuff16:16
Ian_Cornei'm sorry, i'm not gonna discuss further with you16:17
Ian_Cornegoodbye16:17
carli2youre not a developer, so you cant change anything anyways. the only thing you can do here is to defend the "unfinished" status of the project with "it has to be so". that's weak16:18
Ian_CorneI'm worried about the state udev is in, and has been in since a while now...16:24
penguin42Ian_Corne: I'm not aware of having udev problems recently - what are you seeing?16:27
Ian_Cornepenguin42: can you try starting jockey16:29
penguin42sure16:29
penguin42dbus errors on both machines16:30
Ian_Corneyes16:30
Ian_CorneI get dbus errors when I start my machine too16:31
Ian_Cornealtho i don't now, or at least don't see them..16:31
penguin42ooh actually looking at the boot log I'm seeing abunch of udev warnings in 45-libnjb5-rules - they're warnings though16:31
penguin42but they're minor warnings about a pending deprecation16:32
Ian_Corneis that in /var/log/boot.log?16:33
penguin42nod16:33
Ian_Cornei have 6 lines in there..16:33
Ian_Corneno errors16:33
Ian_Corneit seems very little..16:33
Ian_Cornemaybe i should remove the quiet parameter?16:33
* penguin42 wouldn't unless you have a nasty problem16:34
Ian_Cornewhat does that do, except not surpess the log msgs?16:34
Ian_Cornewell, i would like to try the fglrx but I want to install it via jockey :)16:35
Ian_Corneso dbus has to be fixed16:35
Ian_Cornebut i don't see what could be wrong16:35
penguin42Ian_Corne: dbus is just a transport, the jockey error might be dbus itself or something that should be but isn't listening on it16:35
Ian_Corneah16:37
* penguin42 could do with learning more about how to debug python gtk apps16:42

carli2awesome with some tweaks is the best wm for oneiric imho17:36
PunkoffJust installed & updated Oneiric, and can't find keyboard layout settings anywhere. Googling Ubuntu forums suggest that it has been moved to Language Support window, but it's not there.17:58
PunkoffOnly "Keyboard input method system" switch.17:58
carli2its part of the oneiric look&feel that you dont have the settings ;)18:01
carli2and the serious version: oneiric uses a new gnome version and it dosent have all the settings widgets implemented yet18:01
Punkoffcarli2, can I fix the layout via gconf/dconf editor?18:04
carli2Punkoff: some things can be tweaked because they are there but have no interface; other things dont work because the new gnome is kinda written from ground up18:05
PunkoffGnome3 has been released already so I suppose it DOES contain keyboard preferences (:18:06
carli2but things like kbd layout are managed by x afaik.18:06
PunkoffI can fix it with setxkbmap, but would prefer the gnome way18:06
carli2there is no gnome way yet.18:06
carli2the settings manager is now one big app instead of lots of small managers18:07

jo-erlenddo I have to write the desktop files manually now?18:38
jbichajo-erlend: you can try copying the /usr/share/applications/*.desktop to your Desktop or wherever you need it18:39
jo-erlendjbicha, I'm trying to create one, not copy one.18:40
jo-erlendbut I take it I now need to write them by hand?18:40
jbichajo-erlend: you could try alacarte if it still works18:41
jo-erlendit doesn't.18:41
jo-erlendwell, it runs, but it crashes if I try to create an entry.18:41
jbichathen yes... :-(18:41
jbichaalacarte wasn't updated for the gnome-menus update18:42
jo-erlendI don't understand why that had to be removed.18:42
jbichajo-erlend: it had to be removed because we don't ship gnome-panel anymore18:46
jo-erlendso we've come full circle then. This is why I waited so long about switching to gnome. :)18:46
jo-erlendjbicha, hmm? Nautilus used to have an entry to create launcher.18:46
jbichainstall gnome-panel, copy any .desktop to your Desktop, then run gnome-desktop-item-edit name.desktop18:47
jbichajo-erlend: right, but gnome-desktop-item-edit is shipped in gnome-panel so it wouldn't work without that18:47

bjsnideryou can use the i386 flash plugin within an amd64 system without nspluginwrapper20:00
bjsniderall you should need to do is run sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer:i38620:01
jtayloronly if you have a 32bit comsumer too20:02
jtaylorelse you need the wrapper20:02
