[00:00] emorris, cool the XP and being on the development channel just checking. :D [00:00] urlin2u, yeah, sorry :-p [00:46] power/settings menu button randomly disappears from menu bar in 11.10 [00:49] 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 [00:50] Troy, gnome 3 has to b installed I believe you using 32 or 64 bit? [00:50] be [00:51] 64bit [00:52] im just so confused lol [00:52] i basically broke my ubuntu because it doesnt work properly and tons of errors [00:54] 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] instal daily beta how does one do that? [00:55] troy should you really be messing with a development? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [00:55] just asking [00:56] no not really [00:56] lol i was foolish to upgrade to alpha [00:56] in the first place [00:57] 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. [00:58] hehe [00:59] Troy, thats just the way roll others go a different route. [00:59] I [00:59] yea im thinking of just waiting to full release of 11.10 or giving arch a go.. not really sure [01:00] Troy, arch is cool use the install wiki it is pretty easy. [01:00] yea hard to use the install wiki when its the only comp you got :S [01:01] or i would install over ssh [01:01] 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] remember [01:02] Troy, is it the gnome 3 desktop you want? [01:02] yea [01:02] Troy, fedora has it stock in 15 [01:03] not a bad OS [01:03] yea i dont really need it... im just saying i was curious as to why gnome 3 wasnt installed with the latest beta [01:05] you know hoestly im a prefered gnome2/xfce user.. just wanted to check out gnome 3 [01:06] Troy, also good DE, not sure abount the dailies, I think gnome 3 is supposed to be in the final release though. [01:08] a live cd of fedora will get you gnome 3 or go here to see it in openSuselive cd. http://gnome3.org/tryit.html [01:09] 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] 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? [01:11] rfkill isn't showing the device blocked, and I'm able to manipulate it with iwconfig. [01:12] The kernel module is loaded and assigned (obviously, otherwise the other methods wouldn't work) [01:52] is gnome-screensaver capturing for you guys? [02:19] people, after i installed gnome shell, i haven't been able to use unity 3d [02:21] i shall give a log, but need to know what's the name of unity 2d, because if i execute unity --replace, i wont be able to give you the log if i dont change to unity 2d again [02:44] Hello === longs|eep is now known as longsleep [02:55] hi..Which will be the default ubuntu enviornments in further releases ? [02:56] Atharva: Unity. [03:10] what an odd question [03:11] there's a lot of written info about that on the web and has been for quite a while [03:13] bjsnider, help I've fallen and I can't browse the web. :D [03:13] i guess [05:15] Installing the DEB program package »keychain«, why does the Synaptic dialog window "Changes Applied" say: "(keychain is being set up.) You have to configure "localpurge with the command 'dpkg-reconfigure localepurge' to make /usr/sbin/localpurge actually to function. Nothing to be done, exiting..."? [05:46] has there really not been updates for oneiric in the last couple of days or so.. ? or is it just my mirror? [05:50] vega-: might be your mirror, but we're in beta 2 freeze [06:14] quite annoying to work with oneiric when there's a popup every few minutes "sorry the program closed unexpectedly" [06:15] sounds awful [06:17] just worried about what the quality will be at final release.. [06:17] probably pretty bad [06:17] although [06:17] it's still a month or so out [06:17] and you haven't ruled out a hardware issue [06:18] 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] let's hope it gets better pretty quickly... [06:19] i think the hardware is ok.. and hey, looking at this list seems i'm not alone: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/ [06:19] oh yeah [06:19] when i tried booting to desktop i got a crash right away too [06:20] good thing my use-case is headless [06:21] never seen a bad release, been using ubuntu since dapper [06:24] I have a dwa-130 dlink adapter which worked with ubuntu 11.04 using ndiskgtk windows wireless drivers. Just updated to ubuntu 11.10 does not seem to work. maybe gnome 3 compatibility issues? any help? [06:24] adam_, you need to reload drivers on a upgrade [06:24] how do I do that? [06:24] adam_, like you did originally I suppose. [06:25] urlin2u, I used ndiswrapper to get it working and now that is not working [06:27] adam_, this is not something I have ever had to do this wiki may help though. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [06:27] Thanks. I have it installed already I just think that it might not be fully compatible with gnome 3 [06:28] Also I am willing to buy a new wifi card for my computer. I want a usb wifi card. Are there any that are specifically plug and play for ubuntu? [06:30] You know how many times in the past I've heard "The Quality Has Never Been This Bad In The Past"? by the time it goes final, it' [06:30] ll work out fine [06:31] I hear it with *every* release.

When updating apt package indexes i get an error message about a bad signature since this morning. Everyone else? Solution? [07:38] diverse_izzue: Being worked on. [07:43] jpds, great. bug no? [07:44] Hi you all, I updated yesterday my pc and now it seems that Lightdm is broken because when it loads, a black screen appears and loading led regularly blinks. Did someone encounter the same problem? [07:52] diverse_izzue: Should be now all fixed. [08:01] On my Oneiric omputer there are running two sshd processes. Is this normal? [08:03] bullgard4: Two /usr/sbin/sshd processes ? [08:03] It seems to spawn a child SSH process for every loging. [08:08] jpds: No. i.) /usr/sbin/sshd -D; ii.) sshd: @pts/5. [08:08] Hi you all, I updated yesterday my pc and now it seems that Lightdm is broken because when it loads, a black screen appears and loading led regularly blinks. Did someone encounter the same problem? [08:08] bullgard4: What I said after that, it's spawns a separate user session for the login. [08:08] jpds: What do you mean by "it"? [08:08] sshd. [08:09] jpds: Is this new in Oneiric? I do not have this behaviour in Ubuntu 10.04.3. [08:10] :ugh: [08:10] 'booting system without full network configuration...' [08:10] thanks, ubuntu, you only wasted 2 minutes of my life waiting for stupid dhcp [08:11] bullgard4: Nope, I have it on an 10.04 system. [08:11] bullgard4: i've noticed that on about every system i've ever used [08:13] jpds: (I am rather new to ssh.) So it must be a matter of my ssh configuration. What could I have configured wrongly in my Ubuntu 10.04.3? So far I have not noticed any malfunction. [08:14] bullgard4: Do you have UsePrivilegeSeparation set to yes in sshd_config ? [08:24] jpds: UsePrivilegeSeparation is set to "yes" in both Ubuntu computers. [08:39] hi [08:39] skype does not work under oneiric because of some missing ia32 libs [08:45] is it true ubuntu+1 has no synaptic? [08:49] vibhav: it is true unless you type "sudo apt-get install synaptic" [08:49] thanks carli2 [08:50] or install it via software-center [09:08] i updated some stuff and now i can't get the network applet to work or connect to any networks.

[09:17] ah expo mode === chrisccoulson_ is now known as chrisccoulson [09:44] has anyone else experienced problems with missing files in oneiric apt-get installs? [09:51] missing files? [10:07] 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. [10:08] (and i think they're pulling from the same repository for both natty and oneiric) [10:09] one (mainly written in python) was missing a load of __init__.py files [10:09] the other was missing some executables [10:09] it's quite possible that it's a problem created by the package maintainer, but i thought i'd ask [10:14] might be perhaps due to some changes to the python packaging helpers between natty and oneiric [10:16] libreoffice updates being kept back for others too? last 3-4 days or so.. === yofel_ is now known as yofel === _compengi is now known as compengi` [10:30] geser: it's entirely possible. === compengi` is now known as compengi [12:28] Hiyas all [13:11] hi [13:11] is there a way to change the default application behavior in oneiric?

I might make the hike to go to the nearsest computer store [15:22] Thanks Lynoure [15:22] Krawnsbie: they are very very different ones and I bet no one has done comprehensive comparisons, so go for a vendor that actually believes themselves too that it works for Linux (seen many in the shops here) [15:23] cool cool I live in the mountains in a college town so computer stores are scarce :( [15:42] How is unity working with the 3d nouveau drivers?

[17:22] sure, that is what dist-upgrade is for [17:22] they are held back, cause they require new things to be installed [17:22] falstaff, that may mean packages have to be removed to make the upgrade happen [17:22] or removed :) [17:23] something besides an update [17:23] dist-upgrade tells me the same... [17:23] have something installed it doesn't like maybe [17:24] When I try to use aptitude, it wants to remove 125 packages...! [17:26] pastebin the whole aptitude output [17:27] falstaff: I'd just wait a few hours to see if it clears up [17:29] falstaff: I support jbicha's advice. [17:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/693909/ [17:30] bullgard4, jbicha, well, I already had several times the problem that aptitude wants to remove a lot of packages.. [17:31] falstaff: You have been told what the reasons might be. -- If you want a more exact answer, do what asked you to do. [17:32] bjsnider, bullgard4, yep, pastebin is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/693909/ [17:47] hmm, it looks like my mirror of choice has some problems... There is a newer package of libreoffice-common available on the ubuntu servers [17:48] X asploded =/ [17:52] 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] or you can switch to main [18:00] can I upgrade from oneiric nightly build to oneiric-stable once it's released? [18:01] yes [18:02] actually, you simply maintain the updates, and you have the same system as 11.10 when it releases [18:02] !final [18:02] 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] ah, cool [18:08] Hi, I downloaded oneiric kubuntu and trying to install. It didn't ask me to partition the disk or choose free space but it just goes forever, I rebooted and there is nothing! [18:45] 3 questions 1. do the fglrx drivers work? 2. how the hell do you access screensaver settings? 3. How do i get the applications icon back in the launcher? [18:46] 1. not to my knowledge 2. not to my knowledge (except different timings, but not "never" 3. apt-get install gnome-icons or something [18:47] 1. no, 2. i'd like to know myself, 3. what launcher? [18:47] bjsnider: the one in unity [18:47] oh, unity [18:47] yep [18:47] shit if they dont work its a good thing i havent rebooted [18:47] i'm an evil devotee of gnome-shell myself [18:48] well, they work in the sense that they make a picture [18:48] lol nice answers Ian_Corne and bjsnider [18:51] gnomefreak, i think you can safely reboot, but don't expect high performance [18:51] bjsnider: i just disabled them im going to try and reboot now. [18:52] gnomefreak: $ sudo apt-get install gnome-icon-theme-full [18:53] hello [18:53] quick question [18:53] will my laptop melt od explode if I try to upgrade 11.04 to 11.10? :> [18:54] i think that's highly unlikely [18:54] hi. has anyone had any luck making a liveUSB out of oneiric's .iso file (x86) ? [18:54] ok, so it prolly wont melt or explode - but will it boot? :P [18:55] it will probably boot [18:55] ruffleS: yeah, it worked for me [18:55] ironhalik: how did you do it? [18:55] have any body got problems with aptitude search status results ? [18:56] dont remember, with iniversal usb installer on windows IIRC [18:56] I get "p" on installed packages, and if I try to install it with aptitude/apt-get its told me already installed [18:56] universal usb installer? ok i will give it a try when i get home. thanks [18:57] ruffleS: I did it the same as with 11.04, used the newer syslinux (ubuntu 11.04 in the menu) and it worked [18:58] ironhalik: i've been trying to make an oneiric liveUSB for almost 3 months now and i can't get it to boot [18:59] i'm using unetbootin but i also used ubuntu's own liveusb creator from a virtualbox setup [18:59] it may be an individual case [19:00] I usually use universal usb installer, or the built in ubuntus one [19:00] if it would not work, I prolly would try manual syslinux 4+ and dd tool [19:02] ok guys, wish me luck, I punched the upgrade button in update-manager -d [19:03] d to work [19:03] damn [19:03] bjsnider: how do i get the default ati drivers to work? [19:04] ironhalik: there is a issue that cups may hang during the upgrade, sudo stop cups will fix it if its hanging [19:04] fglrx disabled and policy shows they are gone. im in update-alternatives and i not getting a choice [19:04] ironhalik: or wait a day or so until the fix hits the archive [19:04] gnomefreak, you mean xf86-video-ati, the open source driver? [19:04] mvo: thanks, ill keep that in mind [19:05] bjsnider: if that is the default ones yes [19:05] * gnomefreak not sure if default is xserver-xorg-ati [19:05] btw, anyone noticed a slowdown for unity on intel's IGPs? [19:05] if you removed fglrx, and deleted your xorg.conf file then it should be there after a reboot [19:05] on 11.10? [19:05] bjsnider: thanks [19:06] hi [19:06] 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 [19:07] bjsnider: not if you remove with apt [19:07] only with jockey [19:07] there's glx libs missing [19:07] bjsnider: where did xorg.conf move to :( its not in /etc/X11 [19:07] then it doesn't exist [19:08] any idea on what could have replaced it :( [19:09] nothing replaces it [19:09] either it exists or the kernel makes the default choice [19:12] 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] i tried installing *-ati and *-radeon [19:17] what if i reinstalled them and removed them with apt this time? [19:18] you installled them and rebooted? [19:19] bjsnider: installed them with jockey. did not reboot. removed them with jockey than rebooted [19:19] if you don't reboot then you haven't actually conducted a test === lolcat^ is now known as lolcat [19:21] gnomefreak, do me a favour and ping me again. i'm testing notifications [19:25] bjsnider: ok [19:26] gnomefreak, try it again in 5 seconds please [19:26] bjsnider: ok? [20:31] 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? [20:32] try loading another session [20:32] like unity 2d [20:32] or gnome-shell [20:32] I did, it falls in the same problem [20:32] nothing changes [20:32] hmm, login from tty and check .xsession errors [20:33] and lightdm logs [20:34] fglrx driver doesn't find my card. How can I force VESA? [20:34] 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 . Not Authorized. OK". About 20 days ago I could mount this partition without any problems. How to fix this problem? [20:37] but how can the display manager start correctly if X crashes when starting my device driver?? [20:38] * Ian_Corne doesn't know [20:38] :p [20:44] how can I manually start unity after a xinit ? [20:44] Ian_Corne, the system are going to kill me: if I select guest session, it starts perfectly! [20:45] :D [20:45] so it's not a video problem, right?
