[00:00] <BrandonBolton> necreo: I will try and figure it out with my computer.
[00:00] <Saviq> necreo: you can go to ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[00:00] <Saviq> and put a mimetype/.desktop pair there
[00:01] <necreo> hmm
[00:01] <Saviq> necreo: see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/mime-actions-spec
[00:01] <mrdeb> so do you think this will be the ubuntu to turn into the masses
[00:01] <mrdeb> ?
[00:02] <necreo> ok, get this: I installed maple, it installed locally in my home folder, thusly it wont show up in programs (if I press super and search, wont be found - to be expected)
[00:02] <Saviq> necreo: you can put a custom .desktop in ~/.local/share/applications, too
[00:02] <necreo> where do I need a symlink to the executable so it will be found
[00:02] <necreo> aha
[00:02] <Saviq> and it will show up in programs etc.
[00:02] <Saviq> not an executable
[00:02] <Saviq> a .desktop file with full path in Exec=
[00:03] <necreo> I got one
[00:04] <Saviq> necreo: ~/.local/ is roughly a custom per-user /usr/
[00:04] <necreo> Saviq: ok, I put it there
[00:04] <necreo> do I need to execute a command or?
[00:05] <Saviq> to do what?
[00:05] <necreo> so I can search for it in the app launcher
[00:05] <necreo> if I search for it, nothing comes up
[00:05] <Saviq> no, it should show up instantly
[00:06] <Saviq> that's what it does here at least
[00:06] <necreo> and yes I put the .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/
[00:06] <necreo> when I double click it the app gets launched and it got an icon and everything
[00:06] <necreo> aha
[00:06] <necreo> it needed time to pick up :)
[00:06] <Saviq> yeah, some seconds
[00:06] <mrdeb> do you have a slow pc
[00:07] <necreo> no
[00:07] <mrdeb> ok
[00:07] <mrdeb> well good luck
[00:09] <necreo> ok Saviq thanks man
[00:09] <Saviq> cheers
[00:09] <Saviq> it should show up in 'Open with...' now, too
[00:09] <necreo> in the end I just needed to add an association in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[00:09] <necreo> and it works now
[00:09] <necreo> ah
[00:09] <necreo> did it manually, works either way :)
[00:09] <necreo> ta
[00:09] <Saviq> yeah, that's what it'd do
[01:19] <poolbeck> is nvidia 7300 a no go for 11.10?
[01:22] <poolbeck> i have have had several crashes with compiz (in unity) panel (in gnome 3 fallback)
[01:33] <bazhang> http://askubuntu.com/questions/33605/can-i-move-the-unity-launcher poolbeck as the post clearly states, it's not possible nor even planned on being implemented
[01:33] <bazhang> poolbeck, because crossposting 11.10 issues to #ubuntu is bad form, and not supported there.
[01:34] <poolbeck> great, thanks for the open mindedness, i'm sure you gonna lose a hell of a lot of users on straight ubuntu with this behavoir, but i guess you dont care anyways :-)
[01:34] <bazhang> file a wishlist bug then
[01:35] <poolbeck> sure, dont want to get too emotional about this, i guess i was just happy with gnome 2 cause it did everything i needed it too :-)
[01:35] <urlin2u> adapting is a normal process stagnation is not.
[01:36] <poolbeck> i had a similar experience with kde4
[01:37] <poolbeck> however, when i am reading web pages etc, it does not seem logical to move to the top left hand corner of the screen to access and app :-)
[01:37] <poolbeck> that's a lot of wrist exercise, more than I am used to :-P
[01:40] <urlin2u> poolbeck, personally I just install lots of different distros with different DE's so I am used to a bunch of different ones.
[01:40] <poolbeck> what i can say is that gnome fallback is not stable atm, if that a hardware issue then whatever, I don't have time to debug it. using nvidia 7300
[01:42] <poolbeck> anyhow, all the best with this 10.10, look forward to testing it again when it is officially launched
[01:42] <poolbeck> sorry, 11.10 :-)
[01:47] <poolbeck> one more thing, clicking on dash-home  in normal ubuntu login mode has made unity crash several times already
[01:50] <poolbeck> this is the first beta to contain such show stopping bugs, maybe its all nvidia driver related (280), thanks
[01:50] <urlin2u> you feel better now after ranting. :D
[02:00] <TheRealCrell> Grrr...
[02:01] <TheRealCrell> Hi folks.  I'm trying to update a fresh install of Kubuntu to Oneric.  THe instructions (from the topic) say to run update-manager -d, but when I do so it refuses to run.
[02:03] <TheRealCrell> Any idea what the issue could be?
[02:07] <robin0800> you have to run it in alt+f2
[02:07] <urlin2u> TheRealCrell, first do you have an clone of the kde in case it breaks, second upgrading to a development is not advisable.
[02:07] <TheRealCrell> robin0800: I did.
[02:08] <TheRealCrell> urlin2u: This is a fresh install, so if it goes to hell I haven't lost anything. :-)
[02:08] <urlin2u> TheRealCrell, cool we never know.
[02:08] <TheRealCrell> Yeah, I understand.
[02:09] <TheRealCrell> I normally wouldn't, but David Wonderly (I believe he's on the docs team) suggested I just go all the way as it's pretty stable this time around.
[02:09] <TheRealCrell> If it dies, I can just blame him.
[02:09] <TheRealCrell> (He's a friend of mine from elsewhere.)
[02:13] <urlin2u> TheRealCrell, a fresh install updated should be fine.
[02:14] <TheRealCrell> Should be.  But following the instructions the command it's asking for does not exist.
[02:14] <TheRealCrell> I find no update-manager program.  Which is... odd.
[02:15] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OneiricUpgrades TheRealCrell
[02:16] <bazhang> TheRealCrell, thats kubuntu?
[02:16] <bazhang> check the kubuntu link within, if so
[02:17] <TheRealCrell> Hm.  I was following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OneiricUpgrades
[02:18] <TheRealCrell> And yes, I'm on Kubuntu.
[02:19] <bazhang> wow that link leads to 10.10 to 11.04 not 11.04 to 11.10
[02:20] <TheRealCrell> :-)
[02:20] <TheRealCrell> This is not the upgrade you're looking for.  *waves hand*
[02:22] <TheRealCrell> Would the server upgrade routine work just as well?  (I'm not command-line-phobic.)
[02:28] <TheRealCrell> Shall I try it?
[02:51] <Kronsby> :( Can not get ndiswrapper on 11.10 software center keeps crashing
[02:52] <bazhang> try from the command line and pastebin errors
[02:53] <Kronsby> ok so I got it to work while booted from cd. If I install it from here will the programs I installed in my live session transfer over?
[02:54] <bazhang> no
[02:54] <Kronsby> well crap
[02:54] <bazhang> pastebin errors
[02:55] <Kronsby> give me a sec
[02:58] <Kronsby> how do I get my errors?
[02:59] <bazhang> run the apt-get install command from terminal then paste.ubuntu.com with it and give us the url
[02:59] <Kronsby> will do
[02:59] <Kronsby> well I am doing this without internet
[02:59] <Kronsby> will it still work?
[03:00] <bazhang> of course no
[03:00] <Kronsby> The package is found in the software center. because it is in the disk but it will not apt-get
[03:00] <bazhang> ndiswrapper for what btw
[03:00] <Kronsby> ...wifi drivers
[03:00] <Kronsby> haha
[03:01] <bazhang> yes, which precise ones, please be clear
[03:01] <bazhang> exact chipset
[03:01] <Kronsby> dlink dwa-130 C1
[03:02] <bazhang> thats the model number not the chipset, is this usb or pci
[03:02] <Kronsby> usb
[03:02] <bazhang> lsusb   -----> paste.ubuntu.com
[03:03] <Kronsby> paste.ubuntu.com did not work
[03:03] <bazhang> sure it does
[03:04] <Kronsby> I have no internet
[03:04] <bazhang> you are on right now
[03:04] <Kronsby> on another computer
[03:04] <bazhang> then copy and paste, use a usb stick or just type it out
[03:04] <Kronsby> k
[03:05] <Kronsby> do you need everything or just my dlink?
[03:06] <bazhang> if you can spot it just that one line, no need for pastebin

[03:16] <Kronsby> bazhang, What do? no rush if I am doing so
[03:17] <bazhang> Kronsby, there is an ubuntuforums link for that, but it shows the fix as using debian backports. as much as I dislike ndisgtk, I'd recommend that over the debian way (with ubuntu)
[03:17] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1582673
[03:18] <bazhang> !find ndisgtk
[03:18] <bazhang> !info nidsgtk
[03:18] <bazhang> augh
[03:18] <bazhang> !info ndisgtk
[03:19] <Kronsby> so it does not exist in 11.10?
[03:19] <bazhang> ndisgtk? sure, it does see above
[03:20] <Kronsby> oh i read the first one only. Alright. Thanks
[03:20] <bazhang> realtek apparently has drivers on their homepage for linux
[03:20] <Kronsby> oh really
[03:21] <bazhang> so 3 options, debian backports being dead last
[03:21] <bazhang> RTL8192U Ubuntu   <---- as search terms turns them all up
[03:22] <Kronsby> alright Im going to check out the website. then install ndisgtk thennnnnn give up. then backports
[03:22] <bazhang> sorry not to be of more help
[03:26] <Kronsby> No thank you for what you have done
[03:26] <bazhang> ok
[03:29] <Kronsby> ok so I want to use the ndisgtk version and the problem is I can not get ndiswrapper installed
[04:07] <Barzogh> is flashplugin still working for some of you please?

[05:42] <moose-machine> hello everyone. what do you think of ubuntu 11.10 thus far in comparison to 11.04?
[05:42] <urlin2u> moose-machine, I have Oneriric running great unity with the cube and gnome 3 running well, it is getting pretty good for most.
[05:43] <moose-machine> ok. cuz i was one of those who was disappointed with unity in natty
[05:44] <moose-machine> i had all of those activate too (except gnome 3)
[05:46] <moose-machine> btw, can the taskbar be moved to the bottom or top of the screen now?
[05:47] <urlin2u> I find unity better when I can use the cube, in natty I have docky, in oneirirc I find that having docky auotstart messes with gnome 3 at least about a week ago it did.
[05:47] <rww> moose-machine: no
[05:47] <rww> moose-machine: design team doesn't want to do it, so unity programmers aren't programming it
[05:47] <moose-machine> ok. i see. thank u.
[05:48] <rww> (citation: http://goo.gl/3duPf )
[05:49] <moose-machine> rww, that's great. thx for the link.
[05:51] <bullgard4> micahg: '~$ sudo echo foreign-architecture i386 > /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch; bash: /etc/dpkg//dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch: No permission.' What's wrong in this command?
[05:51] <urlin2u> rww, lol buy Ubuntu.
[05:51] <moose-machine> i think i should stick to mint for a while
[05:52] <rww> bullgard4: sudo echo "foo" > /some/file/not/writable/by/you doesn't work. use echo "foo" | sudo tee -a /some/file/not/writable/by/you
[05:57] <bullgard4> rww: This worked. Thank you very much for your help. --  (I should keep that in mind for the future.)
[05:58] <moose-machine> btw, i'm having some issues trying to tether my iphone via bluetooth. does anyone have any idea which channel i should go to for help with that?
[06:15] <bullgard4> moose-machine: Try #qt-mobility.
[07:31] <bullgard4> How to invoke Nautilus in GNOME 2 graphically?
[07:35] <xgt001> hi there.. i cant move windows in oneiric install which is fully updated ..and window controls dont work as well ...  i mean in Unity 3d... is it a bug?
[07:36] <urlin2u> xgt001, have you messed with compiz?
[07:37] <xgt001> urlin2u: i just set it to never hide... and also i disabled dash blur
[07:38] <urlin2u> Is the move windows plugin clicked
[07:45] <xgt001> apologies for late reply... i am in unity 2d now... urlin2u: can you tell how to make the 2d dock never hide?
[07:46] <xgt001> and yes the move window plugin is enabled
[07:47] <urlin2u> xgt001, not sure I never used it http://www.webupd8.org/2011/07/cool-dock-for-gnome-shell-unity-2d.html   has info on that though
[07:48] <xgt001> urlin2u: thanks :) ..
[07:48] <urlin2u> xgt001, compiz has a refresh problem so if all fails a logout or reboot can kick it.
[07:49] <urlin2u> refresh in unity anyway.
[07:49] <xgt001> ok here is the deal... i used to have only ATI FGLRX proprietary driver in restricted drivers in natty and before... now i have ATI FGLRX proprietary driver along with ATI FireGL... why two drivers ?? :O
[08:45] <oly> hi, guys thought i would pop in and see if anyone can give me some advice on getting this bug fixed ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/774385
[08:52] <cousin_luigi> hello
[08:52] <cousin_luigi> is there a way to have a compiz-like screen magnifier?
[10:10] <JoshuaL> Hello, under 11.10 my magic trackpad stopped working, it does not connect anymore. what pakage do i need to report this bug to?
[10:10] <JoshuaL> its using bleutooth to connect
[10:18] <rigved> JoshuaL: are you using the ginn package? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/AppleMagicTrackpad
[10:21] <JoshuaL> rigved: it is a clean 11.10 install. i was able to set up a connection before but now it does not want to connect (when i set it up the connection was there but no mouse activity could be done).
[10:22] <rigved> JoshuaL: have you tried to pair any other bluetooth device? there may be a problem with the bluetooth package. even i am unable to send/receive file from my bluetooth phone.
[10:22] <JoshuaL> rigved: my bluetooth keyboard works fine
[10:22] <rigved> JoshuaL: ok.
[10:23] <rigved> JoshuaL: then, if you are using ginn, file a bug against it.
[10:23] <JoshuaL> rigved: ok
[10:23] <rigved> JoshuaL: in any case, it will get assigned to the correct package later.
[10:24] <JoshuaL> thanks for the help :)
[10:24] <rigved> JoshuaL: you are welcome.
[10:40] <kjeldahl> I'm still a bit undecided on preferred desktop on Oneiric beta. Unity seems to slow down/hang after some usage, while the Gnome3 shell seems only "partially supported" (wrong color on window titlebars, workspaces only working for single screen, window themes not working). Add to this that none of the normal customization options and/or tools actually run (gconf editor etc), and it's hard not to feel kind of sad. And don't preach the
[10:40] <kjeldahl> "it's a beta thing". That would be the same as saying Ubuntu does not run on Sandy Bridge.. ;-)
[10:51] <rigved> kjeldahl: i suggest that you use KDE in that case. it is visually very nice.
[10:52] <kjeldahl>  rigved: Actually did that, up to one year ago. After waiting more than two years for Kubuntu to get a decent "network manager" applet that worked properly, I gave up. Maybe it has improved since then, but up until Oneiric, using traditional Ubuntu on many of machine just worked and looked decent on all my machines. Thanks for the suggestion though.
[10:53] <Onlyodin> Inserting USB or SD Card media prompts for me to select an action, and selecting "Open Folder" seems to always open f-spot instead of nautilus.  Where can I fix that?
[11:02] <rigved> Onlyodin: it seems that folders are set to open using f-spot. you need to set nautilus to open folders and external media
[11:03] <Onlyodin> and this is configured in...
[11:05] <rigved> Onlyodin: how did you configure this exactly?
[11:05] <Onlyodin> I didn't.
[11:05] <Onlyodin> Not knowingly, at least.
[11:06] <rigved> Onlyodin: it seems that f-spot is configured to open folders. you need to set the default application for folders as nautilus. you must do this explicitely.
[11:06] <Onlyodin> Ok, and default applications are configured in...
[11:07] <rigved> Onlyodin: how did you check the default applications?
[11:07] <Onlyodin> By inserting media. ie. I haven't.
[11:08] <rigved> Onlyodin: hold on. let me check.
[11:12] <rigved> Onlyodin: in the top right-hand side, click on the last icon. then on system settings. in that, click on removeable media and set the options as required.
[11:12] <rigved> i mean in the top panel, last icon
[11:14] <Onlyodin> That's a fail. They're set to "Ask what to do" - which it does. When it asks what to do, I change the action from the drop down list provided from open with f-spot to Open Folder, click Ok, and it opens with f-spot anyway.
[11:17] <rigved> Onlyodin: try setting the option in System Settings to something other that "Ask what to do", like "Open Folder". then check if you still get this error.
[11:17] <Onlyodin> I've also found the same happens in firefox if I select "Open Containing Folder" for a downloaded file. I doubt it's a setting in Removable media.
[11:18] <rigved> sorry i do not know any more than this. you can ask again later when there are more people around.
[11:19] <Onlyodin> No probs. Thanks for the input though.
[11:20] <rigved> Onlyodin: :)

[14:15] <Lynoure> I'm trying to use the Kubuntu Crash Reporting Tool to report a bug
[14:15] <Lynoure> But the progress stops after I've inputted my password, no way to proceed, no error, no way to change my login info either
[14:16] <Lynoure> Any ideas what to do?
[14:22] <scotty^> Is there anything holding back the update of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2:2.15.901-1ubuntu2 to 2.16?  Will this happen before the RC?
[14:24] <FernandoMiguel> guud afternuun minions!
[14:26] <scotty^> Minions?
[14:27] <scotty^> Whose minions, exactly?
[14:29] <FernandoMiguel> scotty^: mine, ofc
[14:30] <scotty^> I think you are suffering from delusions of grandeur.
[14:31] <scotty^> We are nobody's servants.
[14:33] <Lynoure> Basicly my network manager never manages to get the saved password for wlan
[14:34] <FernandoMiguel> Lynoure: wfm
[14:34] <Lynoure> and I cannot report the bug (because of another bug, see above)
[14:34] <Lynoure> FernandoMiguel: pardon?
[14:34] <FernandoMiguel> but I have that stupid bug where chromium keeps asking for keystore pass
[14:34] <FernandoMiguel> Lynoure: wfm = works for me
[14:35] <BluesKaj> !wfm
[14:35] <Lynoure> FernandoMiguel: do you have any other advice?
[14:35] <Lynoure> FernandoMiguel: like what to try? I have already removed the wlan conf, removed the wallet... I'm pretty much out of ideas.
[14:36] <FernandoMiguel> no, not really, other then trying a diff version of NM
[14:36] <FernandoMiguel> or maybe set another password via seahorse
[14:37] <Lynoure> FernandoMiguel: I'm on Kubuntu, no seahorse
[14:38] <Lynoure> oh cool "We are sorry, The KDE Crash Handler closed unexpectedly."
[14:38] <FernandoMiguel> hihi
[14:39] <FernandoMiguel> welcome to devel cycle
[14:39] <tiox> rofl Lynoure
[14:39] <tiox> 11 days until Beta 2
[14:39] <BluesKaj> whenever I open the terminal I get this message , "No command 'Add' found, did you mean:"  it;s not serious of course , but it's bloody annoying ...how to get rid of it ?
[14:40] <tiox> BluesKaj: While i am inexperienced, it could have something to do with the .bashrc file and how it's written.
[14:40] <tiox> 11.10 still uses Bash, y'know...
[14:41] <BluesKaj> tiox, yeah i thought of that and checked the alias listings I have there but there's nothing like "add"
[14:44] <scotty^> Is there anything holding back the update of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2:2.15.901-1ubuntu2 to 2.16?  Will this happen before the RC?
[14:44] <Lynoure> FernandoMiguel: been on alphas before, but this one so far has not gone so smooth.
[14:44] <BluesKaj> ahh, tiox I found it a misplaced # , should have been in the line : Add an "alert" alias for long running commands.
[14:45] <FernandoMiguel> Lynoure: yep. been saying the same
[14:45] <BluesKaj> tiox, thanks for the reminder , btw
[14:45] <tiox> Aha! For once I was right about something!
[14:45] <FernandoMiguel> BluesKaj: fix your darn .bashrc or .profile
[14:46] <BluesKaj> FernandoMiguel, I just did

[17:44] <jakemp> is alt tabbing across virtual desktops something that is going to be the default now?
[17:47] <gnomie> jakemp: not on unity that i can tell; alt-tab switches between apps on current workspace [at least here on unity2D]
[17:48] <jakemp> For  me it's been switching to the most recent application across desktops, and I don't like that, but I am on Unity.
[17:55] <claudiuvlad> hi, everybody
[18:08] <claudiuvlad> hi
[18:09] <claudiuvlad> Hello

[18:13] <trism> claudiuvlad: nobody can help if you don't ask your question
[18:21] <claudiuvlad> oh, I just upgraded to Oneiric on my laptop 3 days ago and it works ok
[18:22] <claudiuvlad> I upgraded my desktop today and I have some problems,

[18:25] <rww> if it's anything like Debian recently, remove portmap and install rpcbind
[18:32] <claudiuvlad> today nfs-common is trying to remove gnome desktop because its conflicting with portmap
[18:32] <kernelpanicker> My friend's laptop keyboard has become unresponsive in 10.10... where do I start? (I'm used to windows troubleshooting)
[18:33] <claudiuvlad> the oneiric desktop seems  to be depending on portmap
[18:37] <kernelpanicker> I'm following some online instructions to build and install google earth... any reason I should stay away from gdebi?  The tut says ddebi will take care of dependencies, which dpkg won't.
[18:38] <BluesKaj> kernelpanicker, tell your friend to do a hard reboot ..he may not have any other choice ...then check system monitor for rogue apps using up his cpu or RAM
[18:39] <kernelpanicker> BluesKaj... hard reboot was tried... what kind of rogue apps we talking?  I do know some linux command line and we've plugged in an external keyboard...
[18:39] <claudiuvlad> I just upgraded to oneiric and I want to see the update log.  Is there something like this ?
[18:39] <BluesKaj> kernelpanicker, if you're on 11.04 , make sure you have lsb-core installed before you proceed with the GE install
[18:39] <kernelpanicker> BluesKaj: we're you meaning a gui system monitor?
[18:39] <kernelpanicker> They're on 10.10
[18:39] <BluesKaj> yes
[18:40] <kernelpanicker> BluesKaj: oh, you mean the GE stuff... I'm also on 10.10
[18:40] <BluesKaj> kernelpanicker, I think you need lsb-core on 10.10 as well
[18:41] <kernelpanicker> ok
[18:41] <jbicha> claudiuvlad: just click the history button in Software Center or look in /var/log/apt
[18:41] <kernelpanicker> so what's the command to determine if it's installed?
[18:42] <IdleOne> apt-cache policy package-name
[18:45] <claudiuvlad> I am on oneiric and stuck with the previous century gtk theme
[18:45] <BluesKaj> kernelpanicker, just do , apr-get install lsb-core in the terminal , if it's installed the output will say so
[18:45] <BluesKaj> apt-get
[18:46] <kernelpanicker> ok
[18:46] <BluesKaj> or IdleOne 's suggestion apt-cache policy lsb-core
[18:47] <kernelpanicker> not a complaint at all (I like building packages... it's cool) but why isn't google earth in the software center for install without a build?
[18:47] <claudiuvlad> what should I dpkg-reconfigure to see Ambiance icons instead of win95 icons ?
[18:48] <BluesKaj> GE changes it's builds quite often as does ubuntu
[18:49] <kernelpanicker> oh ok
[18:55] <kernelpanicker> BluesKaj: I'm just about to 'sudo gdebi googleearth_5.2.1.1588+0.5.7-1_amd64.deb'... is there any chance gdebi will mess up any of the preexisting dependencies?
[18:56] <kernelpanicker> BluesKaj: I just wonder if installers conflict?
[18:56] <jbicha> kernelpanicker: for one thing, Google Earth is not open source
[18:56] <kernelpanicker> bjicha: ok
[18:56] <jbicha> they could get themselves into the partner repository if they really wanted to though
[18:57] <BluesKaj> kernelpanicker, no do this command , sudo dpkg -i nameofgepackage
[18:58] <BluesKaj> typical google proprietary attitude tho ,don't accommodate anyone else ...let them come to us
[18:59] <claudiuvlad> is python-gnomedesktop essential for anything ? i want to purge it
[18:59]  * penguin42 wouldn't be surprised if google earth gets a bit confused by the new multiarch stuff
[19:01] <BluesKaj> penguin42,  I have it working ok ...a bit tentative launching but close the hintbox and it's all fine ...except for the typical non integration of systemwide font settings
[19:01] <claudiuvlad> is oneiric missing some icons ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/687092/
[19:02] <u-foka> Hy! Empathy should work with Live Messenger on 11.10?
[19:05] <kubb> hello! i just installed kubuntu 11.10 but i cannot uncheck "proposed udpates" in software sources in muon package manager after checking it once. any idea what is going wrong? thanks
[19:05] <kernelpanicker> BluesKaj: both installers hang at 'Processing triggers for shared-mime-info...' with a series of error that read 'Unknown media in type 'all/allfiles' with the string all/files also being uri/mms, uri/mmst, uri/mmsu, uri/pnm etc.
[19:06] <kernelpanicker> BluesKaj: worked out, disregard
[19:07] <BluesKaj> kernelpanicker, I was about to say . ignore the so called errors
[19:07] <claudiuvlad> rpcbind is trying to install and remove  portmap and LOTS of libs
[19:08] <claudiuvlad> like 85 libs
[19:08] <BluesKaj> there were probly some small errors ...nothing is ever perfect with GE in the last few offerings
[19:08] <kernelpanicker> I have another issue: the chrome around windows sometimes disappear on certain apps (like google chrome right now)
[19:10] <BluesKaj> kernelpanicker, chromium-browser runs better on linux then chrome
[19:10] <BluesKaj> than
[19:10] <BluesKaj> install then resynch it ...all your settings will return in chromium, kernelpanicker
[19:12] <kernelpanicker> BluesKaj: oh... I meant the old sense of the word 'chrome'... the border around windows that include the close/minimize/maximize buttons as well as the grab bar... that's been missing half the time.
[19:13] <kernelpanicker> I suppose I could upgrade to 11.04 as well...
[19:45] <claudiuvlad> Upgraded to oneiric today and had lots of crashes - so I moved all files from .config/autostart and everything is ok now (Firefox still cant get mouse focus)
[19:46] <claudiuvlad> i just wanted to share
[20:02] <w30> Is there any way to get Unity's desktop to be part of your filesystem? Like download to the Desktop and icons for files  and shortcuts
[20:07] <Ian_Corne> it's already part
[20:07] <Ian_Corne> ~/Desktop
[20:08] <Ian_Corne> or it should be...
[20:21] <FernandoMiguel> can someone reproduce ? https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=96209
[20:26] <w30> Ian_Corne, I can't drag and drop files to my Desktop
[20:28] <w30> Ian_Corne, Is there something like gnome-tweaks to enable it for Unity?
[20:28] <Ian_Corne> hmm
[20:28] <Ian_Corne> i don't know
[20:28] <Ian_Corne> it just works for me...
[20:29] <BrandonBolton> w30: Did you do anything to change it? It works for me. Are you using Gnome3? I know you can't place files on the desktop with that.
[20:32] <w30> BrandonBolton, I have 11.04. Is Oneric changed to allow Desktop icons, etc.
[20:33] <BrandonBolton> w30: I have 11.04 installed on my desktop and Desktop icons work just fine. Same with 11.10 on my Netbook.
[20:36] <w30> BrandonBolton, I updated to 11.04 and just switched to classic because of it. I thought it was just part of Unity.
[20:37] <w30> BrandonBolton, the lack of  Desktop being a folder.
[20:38] <w30> BrandonBolton, I can put things in Desktop but they don't show on the Desktop, just in terminal or Nautilus
[20:39] <Ian_Corne> w30: aha
[20:39] <Ian_Corne> I remember
[20:39] <Ian_Corne> when doing a clean 11.10 installed
[20:39] <Ian_Corne> it asked me if i wanted nautilus to manage the desktop
[20:39] <Ian_Corne> but I have no idea how to get it to do that :p
[20:40] <w30> Ian_Corne, ok, I need to find out how,eh?
[20:40] <BrandonBolton> Ian_Corne: I just did a clean install and it didn't ask me that option. Just if I wanted to encrypt my home drive and the normal stuff.
[20:41] <Ian_Corne> hmm
[20:41] <w30> Ian_Corne, Fedora gnome3 wouldn't until I found the option in the gnome-tweaks utility
[20:41] <Ian_Corne> hmm
[20:42] <Ian_Corne> aha
[20:42] <Ian_Corne> gnome-tweak-tool
[20:42] <Ian_Corne> there's an option "have filemanager handle desktop
[20:42] <Ian_Corne> !info gnome-tweak-tool
[20:42] <Ian_Corne> got it?
[20:42] <w30> Ian_Corne, I need a unity-tweak tool unless Unity is gnome3 underneath.
[20:42] <Ian_Corne> yes
[20:43] <Ian_Corne> it's parts
[20:43] <Ian_Corne> I think
[20:46] <BrandonBolton> Ian_Corne: I just found that option in gnome-tweak-tool.
[20:47] <w30> Ok!! that will solve my reservations about Unity, Thanks Ian_Corne and BrandonBolton
[20:47] <Ian_Corne> well
[20:47] <Ian_Corne> try it
[20:47] <Ian_Corne> because i'm not sure it will help :p
[20:48] <w30> Ian_Corne, I will but right now I am on Lubuntu on my netbook
[20:48] <BluesKaj> is there a method to force kate and dolphin to integrate the system fonts in it's toolbar and menubar when called up as root with krunner. The text in the files is ok, ...this a new bug i seems ..using a large monitor makes it difficult to read . KDE users seeing this as well ?
[20:49] <BluesKaj> other kde users , that is
[20:51] <kjeldahl> If you're testing gnome-tweak-tool, could you verify that you're unable to alter the window themes as well?
[20:51] <Ian_Corne> works for me kjeldahl
[20:51] <BrandonBolton> kjeldahl: When I opened it via terminal it gave me a list of errors.
[20:52] <Ian_Corne> (gnome-tweak-tool:12776): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed
[20:52] <Ian_Corne> these errors
[20:52] <Ian_Corne> but it works
[20:52] <Ian_Corne> and dbus errors
[20:52] <Ian_Corne> AttributeError: ShellThemeTweak instance has no attribute '_shell'
[20:52] <Ian_Corne> WARNING : Error detecting shell
[20:52] <Ian_Corne> GError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.Shell was not provided by any .service files
[20:52] <Ian_Corne> but I can change the window theme
[20:52] <kjeldahl> Ian_Corne: Did you try to change it and verify that they actually change? Also, is shell theme disabled (with an orange asterisk)?
[20:53] <BrandonBolton> kjeldahl, Shell theme is disabled.
[20:53] <kjeldahl> Ian_Corne: The title bar colour/visuals should typically change. Doesn't at my end (at least under the Gnome3 shell).
[20:53] <Ian_Corne> yes, it visually changes kjeldahl
[20:53] <Ian_Corne> I'm using unity
[20:54] <kjeldahl> Ok, that may explain it then. Under Gnome3 it does not change anything, which is sad because those light gray window titles makes my eyes sore...
[20:55] <kjeldahl> I get the same width assertions by the way.
[21:01] <Lynoure> Can someone try if they can actually toggle tunables in powertop?
[21:01] <Lynoure> I don't seem to be able to.
[21:02] <Lynoure> ah, it was just the first one that did not toggle
[21:07] <Saamm> I got really bad problem in oneiric...any screenshot or video I make is corrupted - http://i.imgur.com/kMfXb.png
