xsachahi, so im looking at 11.10 Additional Drivers and I see two AMD drivers to install00:38
xsachathe first one says 2D display drivers and the second one says 2d & 3D. but what's the real difference?00:38
xsachado i get both?00:39
gnomiexsacha: obviously, one of them will provide you with 3D acceleration. useful for running desktop effects and games00:42
xsachawell the first one says 2D and opengl acceleration (which would be 3D).00:43
xsachaand they are both proprietary drivers. not sure what the first one is meant to be00:43
xsachaEven the opensource driver provides 3D hardware acceleration. So is there 3 different drivers now? Or is jockey listing opensource drivers as well?00:44
gnomieand..?00:45
gnomieno, you cannot have both active at the same time.. try out.. let us know00:45
xsachai'm just wondering what the first one is00:46
xsachaif it's not opensource and it's not the ATI/AMD one .. what is 'Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerator'00:46
gnomieit is a known bug(?).. no one seems to be exactly sure what's with that really00:47
xsachaoh ok00:48
xsachathx00:48
gnomiei have not enabled anything so i assume i must be using the opensource one, which does have limited 3D capabilities00:48
xsacharuns the desktop effects well enough (like blur)00:50
gnomie(i have radeon hd5450 here)00:51
xsacha5650 here00:51
gnomieworks well with unity2d.. but i have no problems with unity3d either00:52
gnomiekinda confusing, i agree00:53
xsachai'm mostly concerned about the opensource driver's battery-life though00:54
xsachalaptop only goes for 1.5 hours :( P.S. when i come back from hibernate (due to dead battery), the battery life is stuck on 0% even though charge is increasing. it finally changed when charge got to 80%00:55
gnomiewell.. yer in time for some testing then00:56
gnomieperhaps you could file a bug against power management on lauchpad if you are so inclined00:58
xsachak00:59
gnomieyou need to register and all that, but one could learn a few things about how opensource works as well, and it's free01:00
corecodehow would i switch to classical gnome?01:04
corecodeinstead of unity01:04
urlin2ucorecode, at the login scree,01:04
urlin2uscreen01:04
corecodewhat do i select?01:04
corecodeUbuntu 2D?01:04
urlin2ucorecode, click your user then hit the popup actually in Oneiric thre is no classic01:05
gnomieahem.. there is only unity and unity2D for fallback, if you want 'classic gnome' you're going to have to use something else01:05
urlin2uthere01:05
corecodegnomie: what does that mean?01:06
gnomiethat means beta1 doesnt offer what you want01:06
corecodeall gnome packages got removed?01:06
gnomie11.04 might still have 'classic gnome' option01:06
corecodeit does01:07
corecodebut that's just a matter of which session manager i use, no?01:08
gnomiethis channel is for discussion of 11.10 only though..01:08
corecodeexactly01:08
corecodei am on 11.1001:08
urlin2uNatty has classic01:10
corecodeyes, yes01:11
corecodebut i am on oneiric01:11
gnomieclassic gnome NOT available under oneiric01:11
corecodeso there is fluxbox and fvwm2, but no classic gnome?01:12
corecodethat's odd01:12
gnomieyou can install what you will.. that's on you though01:13
corecodedo you know what i'd need for that?01:14
gnomieluck01:14
corecodehow so?01:14
corecodeaptitude doesn't seem to register the "(F)orget new packages"01:29

timfrostWhen I attempted to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 using a CDRW burnt using the 64-bit alternative image (ubuntu-11.10-beta1-alternate-amd64.iso), I get errors indicating that the i386 package files can't be read , and the upgrade aborts. The Package.gz files are 20 byes, and gzip reports a zero-length uncompressed file. Is this a known bug with the 64-bit ISO for beta1?  If it is new, what package should I log the bug against, and h09:45
olyit still relevant in 11.10 i updated yesterday to test it,09:46
urlin2utimfrost, is the Natty a 32  bit?09:47
timfrosturlin2u: no. 64-bit.09:47
urlin2utimfrost, 1386 is 32 bit09:48
urlin2ui38609:49
timfrosturlin2u: the ISO has the 64-bit main and restricted packages in the pool/.... tree, but has these empty 32-bit i386 Package.gz files as well09:51
urlin2uI can only say that makes no sense lol09:53
urlin2unot doubting you but a alternative 64 bit with files so it can't work is well starnge.09:54
rbasakIs there a "I can't find X" FAQ for Oneiric?09:55
timfrosturlin2u: recent announcements indicate that the 64-bit systems should now have 'built-in support' for installing 32-bit applications.  I wonder if this is intended to be a step towards getting the 32-bit compatibility libraries onto the 64-bit CD09:57
urlin2utimfrost, not sure you have alink for that info.09:58
rbasakurlin2u: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/TechnicalOverview/Beta1#Improved_handling_of_32-bit_compatibility_on_amd64_systems09:59
timfrost rbasak: that is one of the references that I have seen.  There are others in the mailing lists as well.10:03
urlin2utimfrost, hard to say I never upgrade myself, it would be strange for this to be the case in this part of development, but anything is possible I guess.10:05
timfrosturlin2u: I will take my original question to the development discussion mailing list, or maybe to the devel IRC channel10:06
timfrost rbasak: what is your problem?10:07
almoxarifeI have a suggestion, presently nautilus gksu when applied to opening a file normally opened by gedit will open said file plus an empty file, I believe its due to the %U associated with gedit.desktop as a default, this issue did not occur in 11.04, perhaps there is a simple solution?10:07
urlin2utimfrost, yeah go for it. :D10:07
rbasaktimfrost: the one that comes to mind right now is that my laptop goes to standby on lid close. There used to be an option to disable this under power settings, but now there isn't10:08
* rbasak has failed to find a bug on this10:08
rbasak(but I'm not sure if it's a bug or there's been a decision to move or change how this works)10:08
knightstalkerJust received a partial update regarding compiz,It tries to remove compiz,compiz-gnome,or even ubuntu-desktop and unity but update compiz-core and compiz-plugins-default and decoration lib10:11
rbasakknightstalker: I have that too10:12
knightstalkerAha,I hope this thing goes away,last time I was idiot enough to let it ruin my installation10:13
almoxariferbasak: you want the laptop lid to be ignored?10:13
knightstalkerThanks rbasak,for confirming =)10:13
timfrostrbasak: I am not sure either.  I don't run Ubuntu on a laptop (several desktop or tower PC models which aren't good references for behaviour of a laptop won't count here) so I can't offer any meaningful advice10:13
rbasakalmoxarife: yes, I do! My laptop sometimes crashes on resume from suspend, but also as a developer I often have background stuff going and network connections open that I don't want closed.10:14
almoxariferbasak: look at the last line of  /etc/UPower/UPower.conf10:15
rbasakalmoxarife: thanks, I'll try that. Although I do want the system to lock on lid close, it'll be a good enough workaround.10:16
knightstalkerLast time when I install KDE desktop on Ubuntu 11.10(I had unity and Gnome shell installed),I broke my system,any known bugs about that?10:20

huwshimiSo, after a failed upgrade I can get to a root prompt (from the recovery mode from grub) but I have no network (I chose the "root prompt with networking"). I have tried "ifup eth0" and have added "auto eth0 ... iface eth0 inet dhcp" to my /etc/network/interfaces. Any suggestions for getting it working?10:58
huwshimiI'm trying to get network so I can retry a dis-upgrade10:59
astraljavahuwshimi: Is the driver loaded for the eth card?11:01
huwshimiastraljava: hmm... I'm not sure. I guess it would be if it's showing up in "ifconfig" right?11:01
astraljavahuwshimi: I guess so too. Sorry, I have no idea, then.11:02
huwshimiastraljava: No problems :)11:02
huwshimiIt's not showing an ip address though11:03
huwshimiah added a static ip11:07

astraljavagateway problem? or not finding the dns? What's in /etc/resolv.conf?11:10
huwshimiastraljava: Nothing (well a comment)11:13
huwshimiastraljava: Nevermind, just managed to get a gui and wireless :)11:16
astraljavahuwshimi: Sure. But I do think that you'd have needed an entry for dns server for pinging google. Tried using plain IP address?11:17

syrinx_priestWhen clicking the Dash and then choosing "More Apps", is a list of Apps supposed to show, as in 11.04?  Or is it supposed to remain blank until you type something in the Search box?14:59
thotzi tried and it shows me apps syrinx_priest15:03
syrinx_priestAh, interesting.  Thanks for looking thotz!15:04
gnomie'more apps' is blank here too [unity2D]15:08
gnomieon second look. all categories are blank. except 'find files'15:10
gnomiethen again, i have used 'find files' before. it be odd if it did not show cached files from previous searches [i guess].15:13
bullgard4astraljava: If they did not differ, there was no need for two packages.15:15
gnomiedash search isn't all that great really  :-/  looks nice and all.. but falls short in execution15:15
rigvedhi everyone. i am using the latest beta. i was using a app called workrave. one day it acted wierd, (the interface was blank). so, i killed it. then next day, i tried to start it again and i could not find it anywhere in the system. even software center says that there is no app named workrave. can anyone help?15:16
astraljavabullgard4: Oh, hehe. :) Pardon me, I'm on an amd64 system. :D15:16
gnomieso many search choices within it and yet cannot find a simple file i know exists in my /home15:16
gnomieor maybe i suck at using dash search. which poses another question about actual usability15:19

astraljavaAt the moment, the amd64 version is 1:3.4.3-1ubuntu1, while the i386 version is 1:3.4.2-2ubuntu3.15:29
gnomiei think the list should be populated with some kind of 'default' search to avoid confusion. specially in cases where new user doesnt know what to look for and is just 'exploring' the dash15:30
gnomiewhen i press the more apps lense, am expecting to see more apps .. not a blank tab15:32
IdleOnebullgard4: subscribe, get your answer, unsubscribe :)15:33

gnomiejbicha: fair enough then17:16
micahgrigved: you should use -e also, it'll need a release team ACK since it's techinically a new package at this point, but that should be easy to get17:16
rigvedi have another problem. my mic is not working. in alsamixer, i can see that capture is set to max. in pulseaudio volume meter, i can see internal audio and monitor for internal audio in the input field. monitor for internal audio causes the output sound to get recorded; whereas internal audio does nothing. can anyone help?17:18
rigvedmicahg: ah. ok. i will use that option.17:19
rigvedsorry, that is pulseaudio volume control and not pulseaudio volume meter.17:23

FernandoMigueloias20:01
FernandoMiguelanyone has on hand the devel ML link for the Rolling release proposal?20:01
jtayloryou mean the 1 month release cycle?20:02
FernandoMiguelyep20:02
FernandoMiguelI'm in favor of a faster release cycle20:02
jtaylorit was a bug post, you can find it in ubuntu planet20:02
jtaylorbug=blog20:03
FernandoMiguelbut want to read if anyone addressed the support stuff20:03
FernandoMiguelcause you will face other problems20:03
FernandoMigueljtaylor: I've read the blog post20:03
FernandoMiguelstill have a few comments to read20:03
FernandoMiguelexpected it to be addressed to the devel-discuss ML to at least raise awareness20:03
FernandoMiguelOR ELSE its vaporade20:03
jtaylornot much20:04
jtaylorit was only "big" outside of ubuntu, at least thats my perception20:04
FernandoMiguelFYI for others to know what I'm talking about http://netsplit.com/2011/09/08/new-ubuntu-release-process/20:04
jtaylorthe few reactions I saw all were along the line, the problem is true, the solution will hardly work in practice20:05
FernandoMiguelit's a shame20:05
rwwi like all the people under the misimpression that keybuk musing about release processes means we're turning into a rolling release distro tomorrow or something20:05
FernandoMiguelcurrent cycle is PITA20:05
FernandoMiguelI'm getting to the point I don't like it20:06
FernandoMiguelrww: yes, a few outside devel are starting to think is was a decision20:06
FernandoMiguela big headline in a few new sites haven't helped20:06
rwwthe blogosphere is annoying20:06
FernandoMiguelehe20:08
FernandoMiguelso what most of you POV on this subject?20:08
FernandoMigueldo you feel we need to be set free of the *hard* 6 month cycle?20:08
jtaylorbesides the problems mentioned in the post I quite like the 6 month/2year cycle20:08
FernandoMiguelwhere actualy only a few weeks are for conding20:08
jtaylorallows for having these horrobly broken pre alphas :)20:09
FernandoMiguelwhere the pressure is to provide new features, even if unfinihed rather then fix bugs, stabilize code, and dedicate more time to a new project?20:09
rwwDebian does releases properly. Nobody agrees with me on this, but it's true :P20:10
FernandoMiguelthere are two sides here, that Mark and early founders must have addressed but probably now should be re-evaluated20:10
jtaylorthat seems to be a canonical management problem20:10
FernandoMigueldebian has a great model20:10
FernandoMiguelthe need for Ubuntu to be of 6 months20:10
FernandoMiguelwas to get to MASS users newer versions20:10
rwwrelease the damn thing when it's ready, instead of releasing something buggy after six months so you need to wait another three months or more for all the bugs to be fixed and it's usable by non-technical users20:10
FernandoMiguelwhile the hard date would guarantee a known date to all20:10
rwws/all/enough.20:10
FernandoMiguelrww: I agree with you20:11
FernandoMigueland so does the blog post20:11
FernandoMiguelas do many of the commenters20:11
FernandoMiguelthose that don't, are the ones doing *actual* support20:11
FernandoMiguelnothing can be worse then having someone call you and you have to guess which OS version / Package they have20:12
FernandoMiguelthe rigid *release* allows for you to control that better20:12
rwwUmm, no, releases in general allow you to do that. Debian's as much as Ubuntu's.20:12
FernandoMiguel*but* then limits _common_ users in the seak of new features20:12
jtayloryou will ahve many many clueless users of the rolling release making bug triaging harder ._.20:12
jtaylorjust compare the quality of ubuntu bugs compared to debian bugs20:13
rwwUbuntu is Debian with version number chasing these days. It's a bit sad.20:13
rwwalthough it's always been that to an extent20:13
FernandoMiguelI have to agree with mozilla and google teams on ONE thing:20:13
FernandoMiguelit doesn't matter which version you have, as long as it is the latest20:14
FernandoMiguelin this day and age of *instant* anything , of _Cloud_ , etc20:14
FernandoMiguelwhat matters for most users isn't that they have a package from 2 years ago20:14
jtaylorthat thinking does not apply to distributions20:14
FernandoMigueland even SysAdmins that want _stable_ (which really is arcaic) server versions20:15
FernandoMiguelare an ongoing minority20:15
FernandoMigueljtaylor: big question: "Why not?"20:15
FernandoMiguelisn't and OS nothing more than what allows you to be connectable ?20:15
necreohas the "lets update compiz and remove unity" been fixed yet?20:15
FernandoMiguelto enjoy your digital life?20:15
jtayloryou only need a latest browser for that20:16
FernandoMiguelthe OS is there just to provide HW support and ease the connection to files, memories, web, friends20:16
jtaylorthe whole base can be very old20:16
jtaylorand that is provided via ppa's20:16
FernandoMigueljtaylor: and that's what most users do this days20:16
FernandoMiguelbut *we* don't give them the lastest browser even20:16
FernandoMiguelkeep in mind that once fta support suporting chromium20:16
FernandoMiguelwe will stop having updated versions. no one is picking up that.... for now20:17
jtaylorand thats how its supposed to be, so far I know ppa improvments are planed (= "official" ppas)20:17
FernandoMiguelok... but why does the base need to be old?20:17
FernandoMiguelwhy can't it be *fresh*?20:17
jtaylorwhy does it need to be new?20:17
FernandoMiguelwhy can't it receive updates *as soon* as they are available?20:17
FernandoMiguelwhy can't it be monthly instead of 6 months or 2 y?20:17
jtaylorbecause updating core packages is a huge abmount of works riddled with many many issues20:18
FernandoMigueljtaylor: newer apps bring not only fixes but also newer features20:18
jtaylorand new bugs20:18
FernandoMigueljtaylor: it is only cause we are used to let them go along for very long time20:18
urlin2umonthly makes no sense20:18
FernandoMiguelafraid to touch them, and when we do, we have to touch  a lot of stuff20:18
FernandoMiguelurlin2u: http://netsplit.com/2011/09/08/new-ubuntu-release-process/20:19
FernandoMigueljtaylor: with more rapid releases , with more packages being updated, even core packages, I believe it wouldn't be that much of a pain20:19
FernandoMiguellets go a bit back to debian20:20
FernandoMigueldebian has the 4 pockets20:20
FernandoMiguelstable, testing, unstable, experimental20:20
FernandoMiguelfor anyone that has uses testing, they know it is rather stable, with lots of new features20:20
urlin2uFernandoMiguel, I looked that over at see these posts, whatever happens I will adapt to but the idea is a muse of now.20:21
jtayloryes but its also slower than ubuntu20:21
FernandoMiguelbut our model, even with PPAs, can't get you that20:21
jtaylormany transitions are first done in ubuntu and then in debian20:21
FernandoMigueljtaylor: what is? stable releases? or experimental?20:21
jtayloras ubuntu is allowed to be broken during alphas20:21
jtaylordebian should not be20:21
jtaylorif it can be avoided20:21
FernandoMiguelnor should we breack stables20:22
jtaylorand I really like that20:22
FernandoMigueland we do... for many of them20:22
FernandoMiguelI can't recall the last good stable ubuntu release20:22
FernandoMiguelcan you ?20:22
jtaylorits my oppinion that ubuntus current model helps making debian unstable/testing so great20:22
FernandoMigueland all our devel and non lts release are unfinished20:22
FernandoMigueljtaylor: LOL but we are aimed for our own users20:22
FernandoMiguelnot to make Debian great20:23
FernandoMiguelor maybe we are, and I was fooled20:23
FernandoMiguelmaybe I should go back to debian testing20:23
jtaylorthose goals can be archived at the same time20:23
FernandoMiguelwhich is an idea getting stronger and stronger by the day with this so problmatic 11.10 cycle20:23
jtaylorits just like the cycle before20:23
FernandoMiguelonly worse20:23
jtaylorbroken until beta20:23
FernandoMiguel11.04 was bad20:24
jtaylorits working quite well now20:24
FernandoMiguelmy machine doesnt power off20:24
FernandoMiguelhaven't had that happen in any cycle before20:24
FernandoMiguelhas been like that for two kernels20:24
jtaylormine neither xD but hard poweroff is faster anyway20:24
jtaylorblame the kernel devs for that20:24
FernandoMiguelI don't want nor should blame anyone20:25
FernandoMiguelI thank  them when everything actually works20:25
jtayloryes thats the better attitude20:25
jbicha11.10 won't be a bad release, 11.04 and 11.10 were a lot of work, huge transitions20:27
FernandoMiguelI remember an interview to RH founder, where he said something along the lines: we make a distro with 12 ppl in our garage, and have thoughtans around the world using it.20:28
FernandoMiguelI don't feel sorry for when one user says it doesn't work, I feel marvelous that it works so well for so many20:28
jtayloryes and these needed to be done to get a reasonable lts20:28
jbichayou can't say 11.10 is terrible because you had some bugs a month or two before release20:29
FernandoMigueljbicha: I had to wipe and reinstall my laptop 4 times already20:29
ChrisGagnonAnyone know how to enable the a11y layer in oneiric?20:29
FernandoMiguelI never done that for any other cycle20:29
FernandoMiguelin some I do *one*... most it goes without any wipe20:29
jtaylorI did have t do that yet this cycle20:29
jtaylorbut 3 times last time :)20:30
FernandoMiguelmaybe my HW is just getting toooo old for Ubuntu lead version20:30
FernandoMiguelUbuntu is aimed to 6 months to 2y hw20:30
FernandoMiguelmine is from early 200820:30
jbichaFernandoMiguel: perhaps you don't know how to safely upgrade the development releases yet20:31
FernandoMiguels/Ubuntu/newer kernel/20:31
FernandoMigueljbicha: eheh I usually do it on the day after tool chain :)20:31
FernandoMiguelhave been doing so since .... humm20:31
FernandoMiguel8.04 I think20:31
FernandoMiguelbefore that would be by alpha120:31
jbichaChrisGagnon: what exactly do you need?20:31
jbichaFernandoMiguel: ok, yes there were transitions but why do you think 11.10 will be awful?20:32
FernandoMiguelslow (slower then 11.04), not a good WM20:32
FernandoMiguelseems to use way more ram for the same apps20:33
FernandoMiguelat least browser wise, but that's third party20:33
ChrisGagnonjbicha: I am trying to use accerciser to view accessibility info20:34
photonwhat wine version will be used in 11.10?20:38

john_GI have a question. After updating yesterday I can no longer scroll with the touchpad.21:01
john_GHas the update remove a package or is a driver broken?21:02

C-S-BBeen using Oneric for a while and suspend has been broken the whole time, was hoping an update would sort this but no luck so far. Basically I'm left with a flashing cursor but ctrl+alt+F7 bring me back to the desktop login but network just stops working after that.22:29
astraljavaC-S-B: Have you checked for a bug report for this?22:31
C-S-BHaven't seen anything after searching. Wondering if it's specific to my install...22:31
astraljavaC-S-B: Usually what either makes or breaks the debugging of this, is whether you use proprietary or open source graphics drivers.22:34
C-S-BI'm using the intel gfx on my laptop, I pretty much dont bother with the nvidia.22:35
C-S-BIt appears that its network manager that falls over tbh.22:35
xsinickI unbuntu ever going back to the way 10.10 is but better?22:39
xsinickI this unity things sorted out?22:40
astraljavaAhh... I seem to recall hearing about those problems back in the day, but thought they were all fixed releases ago.22:40
xsinickI almost switch distros becuase of  ubuntu 11.0422:41
C-S-Bastraljava, that directed at me?22:41
astraljavaxsinick: Hard to say when you don't specify the "unity things". But no, ubuntu is not going the 10.10 way, if you mean GNOME2 with that. If not, please elaborate.22:41
astraljavaC-S-B: Yes, sorry for confusion.22:41
xsinickwell22:42
xsinickI think  gnome got worst22:42
xsinickand I understand that  Ubuntu devs want full control22:42
xsinickbut unity  did not seem practical at all when it comes to professional use22:43
C-S-Bastraljava, I had everything working fine in 11.04 so I'm sure it's possible in 11.10. I don't do gfx switching as it never worked for me so it's just onboard intel.22:43
xsinickIt just felt like ubuntu 10.10 gave you fully control on the way unbuntu looked and behaved22:44
xsinickwhy change sometime everyone was happy with22:45
xsinickand reinvent the whee22:45
xsinickwheel for almost every release22:45
xsinickIs there information online  outlining the rreson for such a drastic  change in current ubuntu?22:46
xsinickI've been searching22:46
astraljavaxsinick: I dunno, evolution maybe? Dissatisfaction towards dominant environment is the primary reason for development in the world. But this is not the correct place for such a discussion. If you're troubled with the choice of unity, try http://unity.ubuntu.com.22:48
urlin2uxsinick, yes and stop just posting your feelings this is a support channel.22:48
xsinickthanks you so much22:49
xsinickastraljava:  thank you22:49
xsinickurlin2u: we are all humans  ( be wise)22:50
urlin2uxsinick, being wise is not ranting on a support channel.22:50
astraljavaC-S-B: Well, between most subsequent releases, driver versions change. Also, other contributing bits of software change. If functionality is reduced, a bug is expected to be filed. Otherwise, it might go undetected. It's really hard to say what could have caused it, without debugging the environment where that happens.22:51
xsinickastraljava:  I see so this new step also requires the community to send bugs and such to the dev team22:52
xsinickastraljava:  it not all set in stone22:52
astraljavaxsinick: It appears you're not fully acknowledged by how the way of open source software works. I'm sorry, but I can't help you further, outside of strongly advising you to read up on it as a movement. You might be surprised.22:53
C-S-BAny advice on submitting this but without actually having an error pop up? I have pm-suspend.log22:59
C-S-Bastraljava, ^23:01
=== KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG
astraljavaC-S-B: That could work, and possibly output of lspci, syslog and dmesg. But really, when you file the bug, relevant people wanting to fix it will ask for relevant information. So even if you don't attach anything, you'll be prompted for further information.23:04
