| Troy | i tried upgrading the ubuntu alhpa version got tons of errors and now when i do update and all that its like its not updating to the new beta ebcause i got none of the new unity / gnome 3 and i still get constant popping up errors in gnome classic so im not sure whats going on | 00:49 |
| urlin2u | Troy, gnome 3 has to b installed I believe you using 32 or 64 bit? | 00:50 |
| urlin2u | be | 00:50 |
| Troy | 64bit | 00:51 |
| Troy | im just so confused lol | 00:52 |
| Troy | i basically broke my ubuntu because it doesnt work properly and tons of errors | 00:52 |
| urlin2u | Troy, the beta turned on the app I forget the name that has 32 bit capability in a 64 bit, that can be turned on, but to get help you need to be very detailed in errors, and pastebin them, or just install the daily beta. | 00:54 |
| Troy | instal daily beta how does one do that? | 00:54 |
| urlin2u | troy should you really be messing with a development? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | 00:55 |
| urlin2u | just asking | 00:55 |
| Troy | no not really | 00:56 |
| Troy | lol i was foolish to upgrade to alpha | 00:56 |
| Troy | in the first place | 00:56 |
| urlin2u | Troy, it happens I'm an experienced user and have it installed, but would not even post any problems when I can reinstall or load a clone that was running. | 00:57 |
| Troy | hehe | 00:58 |
| urlin2u | Troy, thats just the way roll others go a different route. | 00:59 |
| urlin2u | I | 00:59 |
| Troy | yea im thinking of just waiting to full release of 11.10 or giving arch a go.. not really sure | 00:59 |
| urlin2u | Troy, arch is cool use the install wiki it is pretty easy. | 01:00 |
| Troy | yea hard to use the install wiki when its the only comp you got :S | 01:00 |
| Troy | or i would install over ssh | 01:01 |
| urlin2u | Troy, you can print it, without it you will probably have problems I know I would, even though I have used arch, hard to rember everything for me. | 01:01 |
| urlin2u | remember | 01:01 |
| urlin2u | Troy, is it the gnome 3 desktop you want? | 01:02 |
| Troy | yea | 01:02 |
| urlin2u | Troy, fedora has it stock in 15 | 01:02 |
| urlin2u | not a bad OS | 01:03 |
| Troy | yea i dont really need it... im just saying i was curious as to why gnome 3 wasnt installed with the latest beta | 01:03 |
| Troy | you know hoestly im a prefered gnome2/xfce user.. just wanted to check out gnome 3 | 01:05 |
| urlin2u | Troy, also good DE, not sure abount the dailies, I think gnome 3 is supposed to be in the final release though. | 01:06 |
| urlin2u | a live cd of fedora will get you gnome 3 or go here to see it in openSuselive cd. http://gnome3.org/tryit.html | 01:08 |
| urlin2u | worth trying out as a live I think to see if it is what you might like at least it was for me. | 01:09 |
| syn-ack | Good evening, people. I just did a fresh install of 11.10 and for some reason my Atheros wifi card won't come up. At first I had a "Device Not Managed" notifer so I went into the network manager conf file and changed "Managed=false" to true, restarted nm and now it's saying that the device is not ready. is there a known issue out there regarding this that I've not been able to find? | 01:09 |
| syn-ack | rfkill isn't showing the device blocked, and I'm able to manipulate it with iwconfig. | 01:11 |

| tjoy | it's still a month or so out | 06:17 |
| tjoy | and you haven't ruled out a hardware issue | 06:17 |
| vega- | based on past experiences yes.. i've started using every release since alpha-1 or alpha-2 and things have never been this bad | 06:18 |
| vega- | let's hope it gets better pretty quickly... | 06:18 |

| urlin2u | adam_, like you did originally I suppose. | 06:24 |

| wrtp | geser: yes. at least two (non-core) packages have been missing some files when i did apt-get on them. both install fine under natty. | 10:07 |
| wrtp | (and i think they're pulling from the same repository for both natty and oneiric) | 10:08 |
| wrtp | one (mainly written in python) was missing a load of __init__.py files | 10:09 |

| wrtp | it's quite possible that it's a problem created by the package maintainer, but i thought i'd ask | 10:09 |

| patdk-wk | sure, that is what dist-upgrade is for | 17:22 |
| patdk-wk | they are held back, cause they require new things to be installed | 17:22 |
| bjsnider | falstaff, that may mean packages have to be removed to make the upgrade happen | 17:22 |
| patdk-wk | or removed :) | 17:22 |
| patdk-wk | something besides an update | 17:23 |

| bullgard4 | falstaff: You have been told what the reasons might be. -- If you want a more exact answer, do what <bjsnider> asked you to do. | 17:31 |
| falstaff | bjsnider, bullgard4, yep, pastebin is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/693909/ | 17:32 |

| jakemp | X asploded =/ | 17:48 |
| bjsnider | falstaff, this problem is because libreoffice-common has not been updated on your mirror to the newest version, it will be cleared up in awhile | 17:52 |

| Pici | !final | 18:02 |
| ubottu | If you install a development version of Ubuntu Oneiric and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 11.10 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. | 18:02 |

| ironhalik | will my laptop melt od explode if I try to upgrade 11.04 to 11.10? :> | 18:53 |
| bjsnider | i think that's highly unlikely | 18:54 |
| ruffleS | hi. has anyone had any luck making a liveUSB out of oneiric's .iso file (x86) ? | 18:54 |
| ironhalik | ok, so it prolly wont melt or explode - but will it boot? :P | 18:54 |
| bjsnider | it will probably boot | 18:55 |
| ironhalik | ruffleS: yeah, it worked for me | 18:55 |
| ruffleS | ironhalik: how did you do it? | 18:55 |
| ant30 | have any body got problems with aptitude search status results ? | 18:55 |
| ironhalik | dont remember, with iniversal usb installer on windows IIRC | 18:56 |
| ant30 | I get "p" on installed packages, and if I try to install it with aptitude/apt-get its told me already installed | 18:56 |
| ruffleS | universal usb installer? ok i will give it a try when i get home. thanks | 18:56 |
| ironhalik | ruffleS: I did it the same as with 11.04, used the newer syslinux (ubuntu 11.04 in the menu) and it worked | 18:57 |
| ruffleS | ironhalik: i've been trying to make an oneiric liveUSB for almost 3 months now and i can't get it to boot | 18:58 |
| ruffleS | i'm using unetbootin but i also used ubuntu's own liveusb creator from a virtualbox setup | 18:59 |
| ironhalik | it may be an individual case | 18:59 |
| ironhalik | I usually use universal usb installer, or the built in ubuntus one | 19:00 |
| ironhalik | if it would not work, I prolly would try manual syslinux 4+ and dd tool | 19:00 |
| ironhalik | ok guys, wish me luck, I punched the upgrade button in update-manager -d | 19:02 |
| gnomefreak | d to work | 19:03 |
| gnomefreak | damn | 19:03 |
| gnomefreak | bjsnider: how do i get the default ati drivers to work? | 19:03 |
| mvo | ironhalik: there is a issue that cups may hang during the upgrade, sudo stop cups will fix it if its hanging | 19:04 |
| gnomefreak | fglrx disabled and policy shows they are gone. im in update-alternatives and i not getting a choice | 19:04 |
| mvo | ironhalik: or wait a day or so until the fix hits the archive | 19:04 |
| bjsnider | gnomefreak, you mean xf86-video-ati, the open source driver? | 19:04 |
| ironhalik | mvo: thanks, ill keep that in mind | 19:04 |
| gnomefreak | bjsnider: if that is the default ones yes | 19:05 |
| * gnomefreak not sure if default is xserver-xorg-ati | 19:05 | |
| ironhalik | btw, anyone noticed a slowdown for unity on intel's IGPs? | 19:05 |
| bjsnider | if you removed fglrx, and deleted your xorg.conf file then it should be there after a reboot | 19:05 |
| ironhalik | on 11.10? | 19:05 |
| gnomefreak | bjsnider: thanks | 19:05 |
| FernandoMiguel | hi | 19:06 |
| bjsnider | the glx alternatives are returned to mesa after removing fglrx and the xorg.conf file forces the kernel to load whatever driver is listed there | 19:06 |
| Ian_Corne | bjsnider: not if you remove with apt | 19:07 |
| Ian_Corne | only with jockey | 19:07 |
| Ian_Corne | there's glx libs missing | 19:07 |
| gnomefreak | bjsnider: where did xorg.conf move to :( its not in /etc/X11 | 19:07 |
| bjsnider | then it doesn't exist | 19:07 |
| gnomefreak | any idea on what could have replaced it :( | 19:08 |
| bjsnider | nothing replaces it | 19:09 |
| bjsnider | either it exists or the kernel makes the default choice | 19:09 |
| gnomefreak | well than im screwed badly i have no working graphics. i can loginto unity 2d but it doesnt have anything in it just my background | 19:12 |
| gnomefreak | i tried installing *-ati and *-radeon | 19:12 |
| gnomefreak | what if i reinstalled them and removed them with apt this time? | 19:17 |
| bjsnider | you installled them and rebooted? | 19:18 |
| gnomefreak | bjsnider: installed them with jockey. did not reboot. removed them with jockey than rebooted | 19:19 |
| bjsnider | if you don't reboot then you haven't actually conducted a test | 19:19 |

| bjsnider | gnomefreak, do me a favour and ping me again. i'm testing notifications | 19:21 |
| gnomefreak | bjsnider: ok | 19:25 |
| bjsnider | gnomefreak, try it again in 5 seconds please | 19:26 |
| gnomefreak | bjsnider: ok? | 19:26 |
| piero | Hi! After I type my password in lightdm the screen blinks and ask me for the password again, and again.. It's different when I type the wrong password, when its doesn't blink and show: invalid password. Where can I begin to solve this problem? | 20:31 |
| Ian_Corne | try loading another session | 20:32 |
| Ian_Corne | like unity 2d | 20:32 |
| Ian_Corne | or gnome-shell | 20:32 |
| piero | I did, it falls in the same problem | 20:32 |
| piero | nothing changes | 20:32 |
| Ian_Corne | hmm, login from tty and check .xsession errors | 20:32 |
| Ian_Corne | and lightdm logs | 20:33 |
| piero | fglrx driver doesn't find my card. How can I force VESA? | 20:34 |
| bullgard4 | When plugging in a USB hard drive, Nautilus recognizes the label of a partition. When clicking on this label, Nautilus opens a message window: "Unable to mount <partion_label>. Not Authorized. OK". About 20 days ago I could mount this partition without any problems. How to fix this problem? | 20:34 |
| piero | but how can the display manager start correctly if X crashes when starting my device driver?? | 20:37 |
| * Ian_Corne doesn't know | 20:38 | |
| Ian_Corne | :p | 20:38 |
| piero | how can I manually start unity after a xinit ? | 20:44 |
| piero | Ian_Corne, the system are going to kill me: if I select guest session, it starts perfectly! | 20:44 |
| Ian_Corne | :D | 20:45 |
| piero | so it's not a video problem, right? | 20:45 |
| Ian_Corne | unity --reset | 20:45 |
| Ian_Corne | might help | 20:45 |
| Ian_Corne | probably not then, no | 20:45 |
| ironhalik | hmm, cool - 11.10 upgrade failed before it started, at least I can boot back to OS :> | 20:45 |
| Ian_Corne | :D | 20:46 |
| piero | something is wrong.. when I login my home directory isn't there.. the encrypted data was not recovered.. these "Access-your-private-data.desktop" files are in the place | 20:46 |
| Ian_Corne | oho | 20:46 |
| piero | so if I try ecryptfs-mount-private it crashes: error while loading shared livraries: libnss3.so | 20:47 |
| Ian_Corne | aha | 20:47 |
| Ian_Corne | try to reinstall that | 20:47 |
| piero | already tried.. not works | 20:48 |
| Ian_Corne | check bug reports | 20:49 |
| Ian_Corne | on ecruptfs thingy | 20:49 |
| Ian_Corne | i have no experience yet | 20:49 |
| piero | ok | 20:50 |

| BluesKaj | looks like i'm going to settle for an M-Audio Audiophile 192 sound card . an upgrade to the 2496 and it's on for the right price in several locations linux support looks good with the Mudita24 Alsa GUI tool and the madfuload firmware loader..going to check this out further before I drop this kind of coin on a soundcard | 22:44 |
| piero | how can I tell apt to reinstall all the packets I have already installed? re-downloading from the repositories? | 22:52 |
