I don't get the normal top panel nor the unity menu on the left... any ideas? lol [03:15] Vanillalite, can I get a screenshot? [03:16] I can try in Unity 2d now which seems to always work [03:16] brb with a screen shot hopefully :P [03:22] Hello all I'm back with a screenshot :P [03:23] https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bHP88h5Bmg0/Tl2oxjUstOI/AAAAAAAAAVg/cVbUf5Djags/s800/Screenshot%25252520at%252525202011-08-30%2525252023%2525253A18%2525253A25.png [03:23] that's what I get when I log into Ubuntu with regular Unity....

[03:30] larger screenshot.... http://www.abload.de/img/screenshot20at202011-0woj8.png [03:34] Vanillalite, it's a know problem [03:35] the unity plugin didn't get loaded in compiz [03:35] click file, new tab [03:35] then navigate to /usr/bin and open gnome-terminal [03:36] open compizconfig by typing ccsm [03:36] make sure the unity plugin is checked [03:36] I tried to find it on launchpad but I'm terribad at finding my bug on launchpad lol [03:36] after the plugin loads, you'll be left with the borked nautilus window, so in your open terminal type sudo killall nautilus and you should be left with a normal desktop [03:37] im going for a smoke, let me know how that works out for you [03:37] do I have to do this each time I log in or will this be a real fix for me? [03:40] are you fully updated? [03:42] i see the problem still happening on the forums still, but i posted that fix i just gave you like a week ago [03:45] Hello all again! [03:45] Vanillalite, how did you make out [03:46] copied your instructions to a text file and did them... worked [03:46] I assume I have to do this each time I log in? *until a patch comes down the line* [03:47] you quit after i asked you... [03:47] are you fully updated? [03:47] sorry I was in Unity 2d and quit to try your fix :P [03:48] yeah I just updated idk less than an hour ago? [03:48] i posted that fix on the forums about a week ago, and i haven't had it happen for awhile on MY machine, but i think it's still happening to others [03:48] do you have a link to a bug report for it on launchpad? :P [03:49] ill see if i can dig it up [03:50] i meant i posted the workaround instructions on the forums, i'm sure there is a bug report around somewhere [03:51] yeah I got that part I was just looking for a launchpad page in case I could be of any assistance [03:56] thanks a ton btw billy! you rock for the help! :) [04:02] feck i can't find a bug # for it anywhere on the forums... [04:02] Vanillalite, Im sorry, I forgot about you! [04:03] Vanillalite, it looks like compiz is failing to start all together :/ [04:03] Id be looking at your drivers [04:03] compiz is starting, just not loading the unity plugin [04:03] no worries DBO billy says it's a known bug and had a fix for me [04:03] Vanillalite, what was the fix? [04:04] workaround [04:04] yeah more like workaround [04:04] what is the workaround [04:04] load the terminal load up compiz settings and check the unity box [04:04] did you try unity --reset? [04:04] then just task kill nautilus via terminal [04:05] fair enough [04:05] I wonder why your settings got screwed up [04:05] I'll have to poke didrocks about that... [04:05] DBO, it's been happening to everyone at some point [04:05] it's all over the forums [04:05] billybigrigger, thats crazy... [04:05] I've never seen it [04:06] I'm running an ATI card with the ati fxlgr drivers if that matters at all [04:06] must be a packaging issue [04:06] Vanillalite, could just been an ati issue then [04:07] i originally posted the workaround in an fglrx thread :P [04:07] wouldn't surprise me... I've had a bunch of regular unity problems as an ati user during this alpha [04:07] Vanillalite, how are things going for you on ati now [04:07] (if it's not clear by now, I am one of the Unity developers) [04:08] good post big patch last week that fixed the major issue a bunch of us had with unity loading up with black bars/boxes everywhere [04:08] sometime last week a patch fixed that and I was good until well now [04:09] Unity 2d has been perfect tho [04:09] 2d doesn't have to deal with 3d drivers [04:09] do you use the new alt-tab at all? [04:09] i use it every few minutes [04:09] works fine here, always has [04:10] :) [04:10] do you like it? [04:10] yeah alt tab works fine [04:10] i dont like how some icons have shite resolution [04:10] looks tacky [04:10] wellll [04:10] I have one small complaint [04:11] xchat and vbox icons look like poop, they need to be cleaned up [04:11] like when I minimize my browser I get this weird bit of ghosting [04:11] Vanillalite, can you describe it better? [04:12] billybigrigger, are you using xchat or xchat-gnome? [04:12] Vanillalite: bug 837820 [04:12] xchat [04:12] Launchpad bug 837820 in compiz (Ubuntu) "Window minimizing animation leaves decoration trail on screen" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/837820 [04:12] just opened it [04:12] interesting...

[04:33] btw same as you billy in terms of version # [04:34] k cause i thought that update fixed my problems [04:34] nope still issues here sorry :( [04:35] btw if I may ask as a non dev how freaked out are you by the quick 6 month time frame and the fact that beta is coming this week? does it seem crazy fast? lol [04:35] I don't envy you guys and gals at all getting stuff done and fixed so fast :P [04:36] im a non-dev, the 6mth release cycle has been going on as long as i've been using ubuntu :) [04:37] i love it, i love bleeding edge software :) [04:37] Join Date: October 18th, 2005 [04:37] ditto still just seems like OMG it's beta already we got so much stuff to still do lol [04:37] ^^^ my join date on ubuntu forums, i think that was hoary/warty days :P [04:38] ya but feature/ui freeze's are in effect, now it's bug squashing time [04:39] never been a person to try out alphas usually I wait till beta 1 for the jump [04:39] i usually jump in around a2/3 [04:39] i totally missed 10.04/.10 dev cycles... [04:40] I'll be honest something about the name and the cool cat being the animal this time around made me want to jump in on the alpha as silly as that sounds lol [04:40] err no 10.10/11.04 i missed, 10.04 was the last time i was around [04:40] heh i think the name sucks, and honestly haven't bothered to look at the mascot [04:40] i'm more excited for gnome3/gtk3 and oneiric+1 being an lts [04:41] just sort of a sleep cat as the mascot :P [04:41] sleepy [04:46] alright all time for bed!

[06:35] maybe in a few more hours i will be on my gento vm :P [07:20] hi [07:20] i open a .deb file in software center [07:20] i click at "install" [07:20] no installation, just a warning [07:20] "only install this file if you trust the origin" [07:21] how can i install the package anyway? [07:21] or better: [07:21] dpkg -i name_of_package.deb ? [07:22] how can i change the default opener for .deb files to "gksudo dpkg -i $1"? [07:25] zniavre: i know. but i want the default way to work, because the default way to open .deb files is used by my browser [07:28] im not able to find the way to cahnge nautilus properties with deb files [07:30] i got only gdebi as CLI package manager and it is not present in deb properties> open with (and seems not possible to add a path to gdebi) [07:30] but gdebi is availbla in right clic menu [07:41] Is anybody else having issues with their login screen? Mine will show the regular background for about a couple seconds then it just goes to like a black background, older style icons, and the top bar is black also [07:42] I think it might be my upgrade though. Because I just loaded gnome shell for the first time and I was having some display issues there as well, like parts of the desktop looked to be missing, I could click the icons but they looked funny.. === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG [07:47] Looks like Macbook 7.1 only gets wireless g connection in 20 Mhz range .

I can click where they are but it looks like distorted colors and not a icon. Anybody else experience this? [08:50] Anybody else having troubles with gnome shell displaying correctly? [08:55] ssargennto: I think it's because it tries to use unity's default themes [08:55] ssargennto: and now I read your earlier line, you're probably talking about something else, sorry :) [08:56] still though, now that unity is 'in the same field', it might be related [08:58] psalden, do you have any problems with gnome shell? [08:59] would removing gnome-shell and re-installing it help? [09:01] well when I run it, I notice how everything looks crappy. using gnome-tweak-tool reveals it's just trying to use ubuntu's themes, fonts, etc. Assuming the fact that it shares its settings with unity to be the cause of your problem too, I doubt reinstalling would help at all [09:05] GNOME does not provide TeaTime. Can you recommend a substitute? [09:06] gotcha :) === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG [09:17] Hey, I need help on how to configure my keyboard to match an Apple keyboard to reactivate the alt key (for pipes, etc).

[11:43] I'm trying to upgdade via "update-manager -d" [11:43] I am using a lot of PPA's :) [11:44] Milos_SD: I think you'll have to upgrade manually or do a clean install [11:45] well... I used to upgdade without problem before ( to Natty), and I was using bunch of PPA's too :) [11:46] Milos_SD: the transition to GNOME3 might be complicating that, and there are limits to what the installer can do automatically [11:47] jbicha, what did you mean when you sad to manualy upgrade? [11:47] well it's a bit complicated and definitely not supported but... [11:48] you can disable all your PPAs, change your sources.list to point to oneiric; apt-get update and then use Synaptic or something [11:49] to upgrade everything or remove what won't upgrade, so it may take a bunch of time & effort [11:50] jbicha, thanks... [11:50] :) [11:51] there are some things that are held back, and they are not from PPA :) [11:51] libevince and libdocument [11:51] :S [11:52] and bunch of i386 packages :S I don't know where did I get that ...

[20:39] Hello, BUGabundo [20:39] meh [20:40] len in alsamixer use the f5 kay to get all ctrls [20:40] key [20:41] Yeah, didn't think it would be "good evening" yet [20:42] my kwin settings won't hold ...the apps are opening in upper left like small dialogs ...setting them in special windows and special apps advanced doesn't hold the settings I choose [20:48] len or you set the ctrls in alsamixer then save them withe command , alsactl store [20:48] BluesKaj, When I press F5 I get a bunch more bands I can see if I scroll right, but it all has to mics and the digital output I'm not using. [20:49] BUGabundo, did you try the updated gmailchecker yet? [20:49] no [20:49] not using it [20:49] BluesKaj, OK, so if I unmute and do the alsactl store, it should preserve that for next startup? [20:49] it's a recent post at webupd8 [20:50] len , in the terminal , alsactl store [20:50] bjsnider: I remember a old one [20:50] yes . len it should [20:51] OK, I'll do that and reboot to see what happens. Do I sudo that, or does it save the settings on a per user basis? [20:52] len , I think it's global [20:53] anyone here using the ricotz ppa and updated to gnome 3.1.9 yet? [20:55] Hmm, It seems to want it both ways. If I do it as a user (no sudo) if complains I don't have permission, but as if I do it as a supervisor, it complains that the user home dir it not it's own [20:57] is your user part of the audio group maybe? [20:57] should be, and i wouldn't see why you wouldn't be [23:13] just installed the latest snapshot on a spare partition, but it appears that grub is not updated correctly. [23:14] albech, did you do the something else choice where wa grub put? [23:14] was [23:14] urlin2u, negative [23:15] albech, where was grub put then? [23:15] albech, that snapshot has grub control now, [23:16] i believe it was placed on sda [23:16] does another update-grub2 help? [23:17] albech, right that means that the snapshot has grub contri=ol do you want it in another install? [23:17] urlin2u, not sure what you mean.. [23:18] urlin2u, looks like the update-grub2 found it [23:18] albech, when you install grub to the sda from a install it makes that grub have the update control, would you kike it in another. [23:19] urlin2u, no having in on sda is fine [23:19] I can have many grub2 distros which ever one I want to do the update I install grub from it. [23:19] to the sda [23:20] urlin2u, let me try a reboot rq to see if it boots now that update-grub2 found it [23:20] brb === micahg_ is now known as micahg
