Would not boot. Tried to reinstall from my usb pen drive, it booted. It won't boot without the pen drive and boots right up with it in. Any thoughts? [02:13] marknigh, sounds like you got grub on the pendrive, boot to 11.10I will give you the commands to put grub in the HD's mbr. === tardis is now known as rww [02:15] ok [02:16] marknigh, the HD and pendrives get reversed at times, so once in run sudo fdisk -l to confirm the hd as sda or sdb, or another set, no partition numbers needed. [02:17] i set it up as sda [02:17] i'll check [02:17] marknigh, you may have had the pendrive being read a sda though they get reversed.

[02:31] Thanks urlin2u I've been working on and around this all day! :) [02:31] you can run the sudo fdisk -l to confirm how the set up is when you boot from a usb, or use the somnething elase option in thewhere to install, or loook a the hd with gparted, or the disk utility. [02:31] sorry for the spelling my cat is attacking me for attention [02:32] okay thanks again I might be able to sleep now! [02:32] no problem:D [03:40] is it me or does nautilus seem to be missing icons for files and folders? [03:40] 0.o [03:41] just happened to open it for the first time and.. looks pretty bland to me [03:42] gnomie, hit crtl-h to show the hidden files. [03:43] i mean, the icons themselves.. they all look the same [03:44] across the board.. same icon for files AND folders [03:45] it's in development [03:46] just checking. is a bug or what then? [03:46] o.o [03:47] am guessing you arent seeing the same thing in your nautilus [03:47] I'm in natty right now. [03:47] :-/ [03:48] oneiric is really buggy on my end, no unity and and gnome3 barely works, when it opens to it. [03:50] am having way better luck then; i still would like confirmation from someone on the beta1 [03:51] in fact, scratch that last bit.. am going off to bed or sumthing [04:22] hey, so i'm upgrading from 11.04 -> 11.10 beta on a netbook i use for messing around on... it has taken about 12 hours so far and says it has about 4 hours left... this is REDICULOUS... there is about 1200mb free memory and the cpu doesn't seem maxed, what could be causing the slowdown? [04:23] bandwidth [04:23] slow update mirror [04:23] i tried to upgrade to 11.10 and am now getting an error with installing ubuntu-desktop after the reboot [04:25] rww: no... it finished downloading about 11 hours ago [04:25] SirFunk: oh. no idea, then [04:25] yeah it's crazy... i can't figure out what the bottleneck could be [04:28] it seems ubuntu-desktop depends on libatk-adapter but that package isn't found [05:33] crsh [05:33] yipeee the gnome shell works most of the time. ;D [05:36] does aptitude changelog work? (Please try something, e.g., "aptitude changelog apt", and see if it works). It does not work here, and I am trying to see if I need to install something to make it work ... [05:47] urlin2u, are you back on oneiric now? unity still broken too? [05:48] Onlyodin, yeah but gnome-shell is good. [05:48] same here [05:48] I see kernel 3.0.0-10 has been released too. [05:49] got a cpu indicator installed though from a ppa. [05:50] I see the kernel stuff in the terminal thanks for the heads up. [05:57] Onlyodin, put the window buttons back as well in gnome-shell [06:26] urlin2u, what, through gconf-editor? [06:27] Onlyodin, yeah called configuration edotor now [06:28] editor [06:28] still answer in a synapse search though [06:29] answers [06:29] where abouts? [06:29] gconf is deprecated [06:30] by what? [06:31] desktop-gnome-shell-windows [06:32] 'cause that's easy to remember [06:32] [06:32] button layout change it then hit enter to keep it [06:32] dconf/gsettings [06:33] excellent, that doesn't seem to exist. [06:37] I've edited /desktop/gnome/shell/windows/button_layout, but it's made no difference. [06:37] Do I need to log out/in? It used to take effect instantly with metacity [06:37] Onlyodin, if the edit is set you need to logut and back in [06:38] dconf has a lot of control though I have that installed as well just wanted window buttons. [06:49] oneiric need restart to complete update, I dont think log out and in IRC channel freq is very bad... [06:52] anyone have the update manager disappear during upgrade? [06:59] micahg, running it right now so far so good. [06:59] micahg: not in my case... [06:59] hmm, well, let's see if I can reboot...hopefully be back in a minute [06:59] * micahg meant 11.04 -> 11.10 upgrade [07:17] micahg, so what has you upgrading from natty? [07:17] need to dogfood oneiric :) [07:18] I never upgrade, some do some don't [07:20] I just use fresh install, all I need is the list of installed software :D [07:21] same here. [07:21] and the sources.list and sources.list.d [07:23] hmm [07:24] it seems that every other time I reboot, I get no window borders [07:25] even in gnome-shell [07:30] Hello,on 11.10 I am having problems with nautilus search box,anyone have the same issue? [07:31] knightstalker: would you please be more spec on the error? [07:31] *problem* [07:32] Well,In 9.10 and above(and probably the other releases as well),I could type the whole word to search for a filename,but here,search box disappears after 1-2 letters and when the 3rd letter is inputed it will search for a filename starting with 3rd letter [07:35] Btw,I am not talking about clicking search button and...,I am talking about typing letters when you are on a folder [07:35] knightstalker: never try that, but let me see a moment.. [07:35] okay =) [07:36] knightstalker: work fine with me, may be you break up too long? [07:36] erm,no [07:36] I type pretty fast actually [07:36] I think I can take a movie from it :p [07:37] knightstalker: well, then I dont know, it works fine with me. [07:37] Weird [07:37] It can be hardwares,Ubuntu runs different on every computer I tried [07:38] lol,and,while searching through the search button and while search is in progress,there is one way to cancel the search(using the red button in the bottom),and funny part is,that dodges my clicks,I mean when I try to cancel the search,I can not [07:39] that is not reproduce able as well over there Stanley00? [07:40] hehe, it's weird about the cancel :)) [07:40] knightstalker: I cant click at all [07:40] woah [07:40] so that IS reproduce able? [07:41] so damn hardware wasn't to blame this time :P [07:41] I dont know either. [07:41] I,m afraid to hit the search box so far it crashes my set up. [07:41] lol [07:41] not here [07:42] I did a fresh install anyways,ubiquity crashed trying to update my ubuntu [07:42] so I formatted the HDD completely :3 [07:42] have the latest kernel here goes. [07:42] Me too [07:42] whoa works now. [07:43] knightstalker: I rarely let it update while install, just do that after all. and hopefully, it's work for me :D [07:43] ^.^,so can you try searching for example mp3 in whole file system(I know its pretty stupid,but not doing that search will be done fast enough that the bug can not be viewed),and try to cancel the search without closing the whole window [07:43] using the red X in the bottom [07:45] knightstalker: ah! you can press space to cancel it, since it have focus on default... [07:47] I even have transparent conky working gnome3 in fedora had problems with conkies. [07:52] what about: [07:52] https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/840777 [07:52] Launchpad bug 840777 in unity "No matter if sound is mute or not in LightDM,sound will still play on first login" [Undecided,New] [07:58] test [07:58] test back [07:58] knightstalker: nice bug :-) [07:58] thanks [07:58] :) [07:58] welcome :p [07:59] is there an bug in the installer ? [07:59] jbicha,if it exists,I mean it exists on my device,and it hurts me when my sister is sleeping and I need to turn on the computer [07:59] not sure about other devices/hardwares [07:59] at first boot , it somehow misses an picture or something [07:59] Oh,right :p [07:59] yellabs,my installer was also on a black background [08:00] yeah , right, but i think its searching for an picture, or the slideshow [08:00] or something, wich is missing [08:01] maybe the team is working on an new slideshow ? [08:03] for Ubiquity [08:03] Probably,because the current slideshow while installing is identical to 11.04 [08:03] and they release new slideshows for each version [08:03] okey.. [08:04] knightstalker: if you have a hardware mute button, use that; there's a way to disable the login sound but I'll have to investigate how since it looks slightly different in 11.10 [08:04] seems to be an bug report about it here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/831743 [08:04] Launchpad bug 825259 in nvidia-common (Ubuntu Natty) "duplicate for #831743 File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/NvidiaDetector/nvidiadetector.py", line 87, in __get_value_from_name v = int(name) - ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '173-updates'" [High,Fix committed] [08:06] jbicha,ah,never tried that on 11.10,but on 11.04,my computer got busy running apps and desktop and mute button started functioning AFTER the sound is played [08:06] so no use,but will try on next boot to see if it works on new version [08:07] cant you find the sound in startup applications ? [08:07] its called gnome login sound , or something simular [08:08] on the right top of the gnome menu where also system settings are you find [08:08] no gnome login sound/login sound in dash,yellabs,even if that existed,it doesn't justify having a useless sound settings in LightDM [08:08] startup applications [08:08] let me see [08:08] oh [08:09] okey [08:09] just a thought [08:09] np =) [08:09] I'll try that for now,thanks [08:12] is it possible to move the gnome menu from top to bottum ? [08:12] or is it called unity menu ? [08:12] :P [08:14] yellabs: no, it's not possible to move either the launcher (the left bar) or the menu bar (the top bar) [08:15] yes , is see, reading marks comment on that issue righ tnow [08:15] i see * [08:16] does gnome-config editor have any control on the unity desktop settings ? [08:16] has anyone had any issues with iwlagn in oneiric? [08:18] i dont know, is this the same issue ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1592846 [08:18] I've just upgraded from natty to oneiric. After restarting and logging in, I'm presented with the background wallpaper and the "file, edit" etc menubar, that's it. There's no sign of a unity interface. Anyone familiar with this problem, or have an idea what I need to change? [08:20] same here but only in gnome [08:20] unity and xfce works fine [08:20] Hew: oneiric just on beta testing, so upgrade is not a wise idea. [08:20] actually gnome was fine too until I changed the background [08:21] did the live version run alright ? [08:24] take a read here, maybe it helps [08:24] http://askubuntu.com/questions/37910/after-login-desktop-appears-but-theres-no-menu-bar-and-no-dash [08:25] if not, we have to find an other answer... :) [08:25] an other option is to backup your data to external usb drive or media, and just do an clean reinstall [08:26] but i understand thats not what you really would want in the first place.. [08:33] Stanley00, I understand it's in beta, which is why I waited for beta 1 rather than jumping into alphas this cycle. However as this is the appropriate testing support channel, is there any idea how to fix this problem? Or is unity being broken a known issue. [08:35] Hew: I just suggest that if you want to test oneiric, install a fresh, along side your primary, working OS is a good idea ;) [08:35] Stanley00, so upgrading to oneiric is expected to break unity for beta? Is this a bug I should report? [08:37] Hew: I just say it safer to fresh install, I rarely use dist-updagrade or something like that, so, i dont know at last. [08:39] ok, thanks for your help Stanley00 [08:39] Hew: I think it is supposed to work [08:39] Hew: please file a bug with ubuntu-bug if it's reproducible [08:39] Hew: you could also try by creating a new user (empty homedir), so old settings don't potentially break something [08:40] micahg, ok I'll restart again and see what happens. [08:40] Trewas, good point Trewas I'll try that too [09:14] the missing unity problem was not reproducible.. after logging out and in again unity has appeared. Looks like a one-off after upgrading. [09:16] ^ that's why I didn't use upgrade at all :D [09:20] so. how do i enable the notification area so that i can make the wicd status visible? [09:22] !find wicd [09:22] Found: python-wicd, wicd, wicd-cli, wicd-curses, wicd-daemon [09:24] topyli: you can install dconf-tools and use dconf-editor to find key name indicator [09:24] thanks Stanley00, let me see [09:25] topyli: it's desktop/unity/panel [09:26] change the value to 'all', but I dont recommend this, because it's show some weird on my system [09:26] found it, just need to figure out the process name [09:27] topyli: or just simply use "all" :) [09:27] i seem to remember it doing strange stuff as well :) [09:27] like HUGE icons [09:27] yep, HUGE icon =)) [09:33] !find libguestfs [09:33] Package/file libguestfs does not exist in oneiric [09:33] :| [09:34] topyli: did you figure out the process name? [09:35] topyli: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742311 says it is 'wicd-client.py' [09:40] Hello, I am upgrading to oneiric now, and I noticed that the following packages are being removed: indicator-applet-session, indicator-me, indicator-applet-appmenu, indicator-applet-complete, gnome-panel is that normal ? [09:40] AnAnt: yes, as long as your system still working ;)), I think [09:41] but why are those removed ? [09:41] are they replaced with something else ? [09:41] AnAnt: indicator-me has been replaced with indicator-session [09:42] the indicator-applets don't work in Oneiric yet and you should be able to reinstall gnome-panel after you upgrade [09:43] there are still GNOME 2 panel applets that haven't been ported to gnome-panel 3 though... [10:01] Stanley00: ah yes, i remember that's what it's called in the gnome-shell notification area [10:01] Stanley00: i had to postpone my unity testing for now though, because it keeps crashing :) [10:01] topyli: :) [10:01] (gnome-shell is not very stable today either though) [10:15] ok so I'm having trouble now with the 3G internet connection. I have a Huawei E1762 and up until this latest update of networkmanager, it's been working flawlessly, I've tried reinstalling and fiddling around with it but it just comes up at Modem network ... disonnected - you are now offline - on the notification box. Is there any workarounds and/or bugs about this? [10:15] is there anywhere I can check for error logs, etc? [10:17] i think network-mangler writes logs to /var/log/syslog [10:17] not sure though [10:18] righteo, I'll check that [10:18] in the meantime, you can get connected with 'what's that nice commandline program for this whose name i forget' [10:19] * topyli finds out [10:19] i've tried various cli 3G connection programs, with never any luck :/ [10:19] oh [10:20] your udev rules might be broken then [10:20] besides I'd probably have to install them via the internet which isn't possible at the moment :/ [10:20] topyli, good thinking [10:20] running the latest oneiric build, installed from daily today [10:21] today is a bad day apparently :) [10:22] well networkmanager updated a few days ago and that's when it's started to happen [10:23] "03:17 < micahg> need to dogfood oneiric :)" || ocelots are a type of cat :( [10:25] so how does one go about changing those settings, back in gnome2 it was just in user accounts in that dialogue box with tickboxes that say something like Access a modem, access printers, Administer the system... where is this in gnome3? === Tetsuo55_2 is now known as tetsuo55 [10:30] gnomie: can't you get wired somehow? debugging and fixing your internet connection is a tad difficult without an internet connection :) [10:30] the perfect problem [10:32] yeah I'll postpone this until tomorrow morning when I have a wired connection [10:34] menu bar and side panel positions are not an 'issue'. they are design choices. and they are seemingly unmutable for this edition. [10:39] topyli: i never mentioned i had any wifi issue .. [10:39] * gnomie shrugs [10:39] gnomie: sorry, talking to the wrong person here [10:40] i get that !alot lately.. must be the new nick [10:40] :-P [11:54] howdy all [11:55] just upgraded to the new kernel version...wonder what's in store now [11:56] not much new I don't think [12:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/681809/ - tail syslog for 3G modem failure, I guess I'll just file a bug [12:49] Hello [12:49] hi [12:49] Is there an easy way to enable gallium3d to use 3d version of unity? [12:49] falstaff: is that an video card? [12:50] Stanley00, no, a 3d driver as far as i know... [12:50] Stanley00, I've got a nividia graphic card [12:51] falstaff: I think, when you have your driver fully install, it will be unity 3d by default? [12:51] oneiric seems to come with nueveau by default, I wanted to try that one [12:52] * Stanley00 never heard about nueveau... [12:56] falstaff, look in additional drivers for the recommended nvidia driver , nouveau is the default and is only used due to it's stabiliity on without SD or DR [12:56] ^ insert pc [12:57] admin>additional drivers , I believe ..gnome users can correct me if the path I post is incorrect [12:58] hi [12:58] i'm testing ubuntu oneiric in a server and there is an issue with grub2. if the server is down due to a power cut when it boots it gets stuck on grub menu waiting for keyboard input. i think it's a very dangerous setting for a server... [12:59] goshawk: then, you just have to manually edit grub.cfg file :D [12:59] Stanley00, i did [13:00] Stanley00, but having this behavior by default on ubuntu server does not make the distribution suitable for server IMHO [13:00] goshawk, the timeout ? [13:00] BluesKaj, yeah [13:00] i did this modification.. [13:00] w8 [13:00] =0 [13:00] ? [13:01] hi everyone. [13:01] yeah [13:01] from =-1 to =0 [13:01] in 00_header [13:02] BluesKaj, i suggest to change it for at least ubuntu server [13:02] i am using the latest beta version. my unity session seems to have crashed. the unity launcher does not load. unity --replace gets stuck. but everything is working fine in all the other accounts on this laptop. [13:02] * Stanley00 didnt notice that 00_header have that option :D [13:02] goshawk, edit /etc/default/grub, not the cfg file [13:03] then make sure you sudo update-grub , goshawk [13:03] BluesKaj, yeah i did and i fixed [13:03] modifying 00_header as suggested in stackoverflow [13:03] w8 [13:03] BluesKaj: I think he know what to do then, he just give an feedback in update-grub, I think. [13:04] unity is no longer working. it is working in all the other accounts on this computer but not in my account. unity --replace gets stuck. can anyone help? [13:04] i was checking ccsm when unity stopped working. [13:04] goshawk, what is w8? [13:04] 00_header line 233 [13:04] rigved: did unity --reset do the trick? [13:04] from [13:04] set timeout=-1 [13:04] to [13:04] set timeout= 0 [13:04] Stanley00: i will try that now. [13:05] BluesKaj, what i'm asking if not a solution, i already did it. I'm suggesting to change that odd behavior which will make a lot of server stuck without any reason if there is a power cut [13:06] should i open a bug about that ? [13:06] goshawk: power cut may be make some system failler, so stuck in there is not a bad idea [13:06] Stanley00: unity --reset also seems to be stuck. the last line is: "Initializing session options...done" [13:06] rigved: just wait then [13:07] Stanley00: even unity --replace seems to be stuck at the same line when i tried it earlier. [13:07] Stanley00: ok. i will wait [13:07] rigved: it needs more time to do [13:07] goshawk, also make sure Hidden timeout is =0 [13:08] rigved: did you upgrade from natty? [13:08] Stanley00: no. fresh install [13:08] Stanley00, you said right *may* . but if there are no failures why do i get stuck on a grub menu... it's a really stupid behavior [13:08] expecially on remote servers [13:09] goshawk: maybe you are right about that. [13:10] rigved: then old home folder? [13:11] goshawk, I'm trying help you , but this is the first time I've heard of this problem...have you tried asking in #grub ? [13:11] BluesKaj, i'm trying to find the stackoverflow question [13:11] it's a known thing [13:11] but nobody addressed until now as a bug [13:12] BluesKaj, gimme more time to get the stackoverflow question.. [13:12] BluesKaj, http://serverfault.com/questions/269387/how-to-force-grub-to-boot-no-human-input-regardless-previous-booting-failure [13:13] setting GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT in default/grub.cfg does nothing [13:13] since that fucking "-1" is hardcoded in 00_header [13:14] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/469893/ [13:15] BluesKaj, if u want u can try by yourself... reproducing the behavior is really simple... just install ubuntu beta 1 server, cut the power, make it boot ;) [13:15] yeah right :) [13:16] so now... should i file a bug to give to this problem the proper attention ? [13:17] goshawk, btw , watch the language pls, but we understand you frustration [13:17] ok sorry [13:17] your [13:18] BluesKaj, my frustration is that i've 2 server stuck at 1500km away from me due to this thing... [13:24] goshawk, seems hidden time out should be = -1, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1403517 [13:26] i'll try that on my desktop pc... [13:27] goshawk, check this as well, http://blog.computerant.com/2010/03/22/grub-2-bug/ [13:27] BluesKaj, the second one is like i did [13:27] i just put 0 [13:27] because -1 is manual intervention [13:27] the ubuntu forum contraddicts it [13:28] bbiab , goot boot into windows for a few mins [13:28] this is why i told u that i'll test that [13:30] Stanley00: sorry i went away. [13:31] rigved: never mind about that ;) [13:31] hello, don't ubuntu use gnome 2 (or ubuntu classic) ?
