ubottuA schedule of Oneiric Ocelot (11.10) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule00:18
OerHeksOneiric beta 2 runs great, sofar :-)00:41
Kronsbyhow do you upgrade from ubuntu 11.10 beta 1 to 11.10 beta 200:57
rwwKronsby: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade00:58
rww!final00:58
ubottuIf 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.00:58
rww(also applies to milestone dev releases)00:58
Kronsbythanks!00:59
micahghow do I change system fonts size?02:19
Viper550micahg, get gnome-tweak-tool02:19
Viper550cause Gnome 3 happened, and it crippled everything else02:19
micahgViper550: thanks02:19
Viper550it also gives you more themes than just Ambiance/Radience02:19
micahgthat requires shell :(02:20
micahgjbicha: is there a reason for that ^^02:20
jbichamicahg: gnome-tweak-tool crashes if the gnome-shell gsettings schemas aren't installed02:23
Viper550and gnome-tweak-tool can set gnome-shell themes too02:23
micahgjbicha: that seems like a packaging snafu02:23
micahgand a bug in gnome-tweak-tool that it's required :(02:24
jbichamicahg: the upstream dev was blaming dconf/gsettings for it, but maybe a try: test should be used02:25
micahgjbicha: any other packages like this that just require the schemas?02:25
jbichanone that I can think of off-hand, but maybe ccsm will once compiz switches to gsettings02:26
micahghmmm, probably not worth it for one package, but I was thinking gnome-shell-common...02:27
jbichamicahg: yeah, gnome-shell is just one package with a bunch of dependencies02:28
jbichagetting the bug fixed is a prerequisite to getting Unity configs into gnome-tweak-tool which I think a lot of people would like to see02:28
micahgjbicha: the alternative is create gnome-shell-common with the schemas file :)02:29
Viper550Also is it me, or does the installer from "Install Ubuntu" option have no wallpaper?02:29
td123so I heard that unity supports a fallback, or gnome2 interface?02:32
Viper550td123, no it doesn't. Its got a 2D port now02:33
td123oh, did it use to?02:33
Viper550td123, previous version used Gnome 2.x as the fallback02:33
td123oh02:33
td123ok02:33
Viper550due to Gnome 3, they can no longer offer this by default02:33
td123lastly, does ubuntu plan on ever supporting a gnome3 spin of ubuntu?02:37
td123or is it just putting all of its weight behind unity02:37
rwwUnity uses GNOME 3. If you mean "GNOME Shell", no.02:39
rww(Although GNOME Shell is in the repositories, just not a separate spin.)02:39
rww!notunity02:40
ubottuTo use GNOME Shell on Oneiric, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place a new entry in the Sessions dropdown on the login window.02:40
td123ok, ya02:41
td123I was only speaking about gnome-shell02:41
jbichaexcept that gnome-shell is uninstallable today :(02:42
rwwtrue02:42
micahgwhat's broken?02:42
rww23:45 < bjsnider> macer1, gnome-shell 3.2 rc1 is waiting to be built pending the arrival of dependencies. when those are built, the shell will be. i would hold off on updating until then02:43
jbichamicahg: we're waiting on caribou but Debian (bigon) might reshuffle how things are installed and didn't want to do a C/R if not necessary02:44
micahgoh, right, caribou02:44
jbichabut I don't want to wait all weekend so we'll see...02:45
td123thanks, bye02:45
jbichaand the cogl transition happened at the same time02:46
=== pace_t_zulu_ is now known as pace_t_zulu
bjsniderjbicha, i say wait until it's done right. anybody running oneiric right now is fully aware that breakage happens and if they update anyway it's their own fault02:51
bjsnidercaribou was only packaged in debian 2 weeks ago, so it's an infant02:54
jbichalol, it's too experimental to even land in Debian experimental :)02:56
td123hi, just came in to say that I might have spotted a bug in the beta 2 installer, when you select the erase my hdd and click next, it autoselects the /dev/zram or something similar dev node, this is obviously a bug as it shouldn't be there02:58
bjsnidertd123, if you believe that's a bug, submit a bug report to launchpad03:02
rww!bug03:05
ubottuIf you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.03:05
* rww ponders adding "IRC channels are not a replacement for actually filing bugs in Launchpad." a la /topic03:05
td123do you think it's a bug?03:09
bjsnidertd123, no one will come to your house and kill you if it isn't. and if it is you will have helped fix it. the package is "ubiquity" i think03:10
td123hmm, launchpad.net doesn't seem to be working atm03:11
td123nvm03:12

DeviceZer0anyone know why the stable thunderbird ppa has been disabled? https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/thunderbird-stable is it due to ubuntu now using tb?03:23
micahgDeviceZer0: because Firefox 7 isn't released yet?03:24
micahgDeviceZer0: you can still get 6.0.2 which is the current stable03:24
micahgI'll reenable publishing on release day after upstream releases03:25
DeviceZer0well..ive been using the thunderbird ppa on 11.0403:28
DeviceZer0trying to see what ppa's have been built for 11.10 so far...trying to install beta203:28
micahgDeviceZer0: oneiric has 7.0b3 for thunderbird which is latest current03:29
DeviceZer0oh. ok. awesome03:29
DeviceZer0i guess i was still in the mindsight of ubuntu having old versions...03:29
DeviceZer0as iirc has been the case in the past03:29

knightstalkerHeyz,libcogl2 is removed so partial upgrade is necessary and expected?06:11
urlin2uknightstalker, I still have libcogl2,and get the same partial, in general these things work themselves out; by waiting for the packages missing to be included, i other words updae at your own risk.06:14

urlin2uknightstalker, I'm not a developer, but if this is the problem it will be worked out, I'm not updating as well till all is clear, I ran a update && upgrade and it failed as well, before checking the update manager, I rarely use it lol.06:19

Q-FUNKseems that gnome-shell and gnome-tweak-tool both need a rebuild against recent gnome3 depends. is it worth filing a bug for that?08:07
micahgQ-FUNK: gnome-shell is dep-wait08:07
micahgQ-FUNK: gnome-tweak-tool should be fine after gnome-shell builds08:09
Q-FUNKmicahg: ah, it's already queued?08:10
micahgQ-FUNK: yep, 3.1.92 is waiting on caribou08:11
Q-FUNKok, good to know. thanks!08:11
micahgQ-FUNK: gjs needs sponsoring if you're up for it, so gnome-shell won't need yet another rebuild when caribou comes along :)08:12
Q-FUNKI also have another issue, but I'm not usre what is causing it.  even though this desktop has always been configured to use fi_FI, gnoem suddenly thinks that I'm using lv_LV.  since this is gnome3, I have no idea what could cause it. any hint?08:12
Q-FUNKmicahg: I sadly don't have rights to main, except for one package.08:13
micahgnot me, sorry, but some of the other wise people might08:13

ActionParsnipmoin: are there any bugs reported?09:50
ActionParsnipmoin: Unity runs in Gnome3, Unity is not a DE09:51
moinActionParsnip: bug 856481, after a google09:52
ubottuLaunchpad bug 856481 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "gnome-shell is not installable after last upgrade" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/85648109:52
moinActionParsnip: i know unity runs in gnome3, what i care for is gnome3-shell, unity shell, am afraid, sucks!09:53
ActionParsnipmoin: I use LXDE so imho Gnome Desktop in general sucks09:53
ActionParsnipmoin: I do however use it so I can help others09:53
moinActionParsnip: gnome desktop sucks too, i dont differ, but with gnome-shell extensions, its customizable. Unity isnt customizable, that, i beleive is why many *open* source users detaste it09:56
ActionParsnipmoin: I've also seen people with dual screens suffer with it09:57
moinGnome2 interface sucked compared to windows* interfaces, but we still survived as linux users because Gnome was customizable. You could do away with the panels and have awn and cairo dock beutify your desktop09:57
ActionParsnipKDE is nice and simple too09:58
mointell me how i can do away with that dash, or taskbar or whatever unity develpers call it, its almost impossible. Gorcing users to have to do with what comes with the OS, doesnt microsoft do that too, Canonical is slowly becoming the Microsoft of Linux Community09:59
ActionParsnipmoin: install a different DE and you will be fine10:00
hej:)10:00
ActionParsnipmoin: xfce is a lot like gnome2 classic desktop10:00
moinActionParsnip: anyways about Gnome3-shell being installable, i got the answer here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1127711510:00
moinso i'll be patiant till packages arte rebuilt10:01
ActionParsnipmoin: they don't for ce you in any way at all. There is Kubuntu, XUbuntu and LUbuntu which do not use the Unity stuff you dislike. YOU chose to install the gnome based one..10:01
vega-i think canonical tries to mimic apple more than microsoft...10:02
moinActionParsnip: I LOVE gtk3, its cooler than the counterparts used in KDE or XFCE so i'll stick to Gnome, do away with what sucks and live happily ever after. but I cant and I believe even Shuttleworth himself usually experiences trouble with Unity. He just doesnt want to admit it,10:03

gnomefreakconsole-* is safe to remove there was another package with it that is also safe to remove14:18
gnomefreakconsolus maybe the name. hell i dont remember14:19

rigvedok. don't bother. found it. /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf14:53
AkariTakaiMy only guess based on what I'm seeing is that the dots are present in the theme ubuntu ships with lightdm, because changing the background picture via conf optiosn does not remove them.15:01

aqualuki'm running lubuntu 11.10 and i have a big problem with my system language17:05
Wolfsherzjbicha: doh, that is new, right?17:06
aqualuki installed the german language pack to try something (that didn't work but that's not my point) and then removed the language pack (all with the lubuntu gui for languages)17:06
aqualukand my half system is in german and the other half is in english and i can't set it to english17:07
aqualukis that a known bug or do you have any idea what i can do17:07
aqualukok i can solve the problem by myself17:11
aqualukthe solution was to install the german pack and reboot, then uninstall it and reboot one more time17:12
OerHekshi, why is there no option to disable screen power ? http://picpaste.com/pics/scherm-vt783Jnj.1316800345.png17:56
bjsniderOerHeks, that is a gnome 3 issue17:58
bjsniderthere is a way to do it, but it's a more complicated command than just an easy switch17:58
bjsniderand i'm not implying that i know the command17:59
OerHeksi am surpriced, that's all17:59

dizzeyNot sure if this is the rigth channel to ask, if not please point me to the rigth one.  Im running ubuntu 11.10 64bit and i am trying to get 3d acceleration working in "play on  linux" (wine) it seems to be some problem with getting the rigth 32bit libs for my  nvidiqa card18:12
alex_mayorgaOerHeks: no, it says "The update information is outdated..."18:12
OerHeksi would use " sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade " to reload the update information again18:15
Guest1234hello all. I just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 beta2....i did a clean install...and now when i goto log in as my normal user(i kept /home partition)....it goes to login..then drops me back at the login screen.18:20
Guest1234also...there is a guest account(which in this case is good since i was able to login with guest and come here!)...but normally i would not want this guest account by default18:21
dizzeyGuest1234: if you dont have any imported settings delete the . folders in your homedir18:21
dizzeyGuest1234: they usaly have settings for all applikations that may not match the new system18:21
dizzeyGuest1234: .config .gtk etc18:22
Guest1234dizzey: well...specifically which ones? ...ive had this same home partition for YEARS hehe...i have many many settings in dot folders i dont want to loose :)18:22
dizzeythats true =) sadly i dont know exactly wich ones18:22
dizzeybut the ones used by unity if that is the window manager18:23
Guest1234yea18:23
Guest1234hmm18:23
Guest1234this could be a pita finding out which ones18:23
dizzeyGuest1234: hmms but then im guessing you dont actuly need to delete them18:24
dizzeymake a new account from the shell and se if it is working with that user18:24
escottGuest1234, the guest account can be disabled by setting [SeatDefaults] allow-guest=false in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf18:24
dizzeythen we know if it is old settings18:24
Guest1234well..im logged in as the "guest" account18:24
Guest1234and its working18:24
Guest1234so its def something specific to my normal user18:25
dizzeyGuest1234: hmms try moving .folders to some backup dir until it's working18:25
dizzeyGuest1234: then you have backups if your missing someting18:25
Guest1234yea18:25
Guest1234That would work...but a pita. Id love to find just what folders unity or w/e is using18:26
Guest1234im scouring around for solutions18:27
dizzeyGuest1234: Just delete the configuration files/folders of unity in your home folder,. seems like .unity or .local/share/unity18:27
dizzeyand probably the the unity gconf setting. Search in .gconf folder.18:27
Guest1234hmm ok18:28
dizzeythats from google so dont know if it's the rigth answer18:28
Guest1234bah. yea. no ~/.unity/ folder18:29
Guest1234and no unity folder in ~/.local/share18:29
trismGuest1234: you could try: unity --reset;18:30
Guest1234i cant actually get in as that user18:30
dizzeyGuest1234: sure you can18:30
dizzeyGuest1234: do an ctrl + alt + f1 and log in to the console18:31
Guest1234yea18:31
dizzeyif you dont have the trouble that im having on my laptop18:31
dizzeyno graphics in the console18:31
Guest1234it was my impression that unity --reset just restarted your current unity with default settings18:31
Guest1234that didnt work18:32
dizzeytry moving the .gconf folder18:32
Guest1234oh wait18:32
Guest1234i JUST noticed.18:33
dizzeyif they dont have a .unity folder i would not be suprised if they keept all settings in gconf18:33
Guest1234my home folder is not owned by me18:33
dizzeyor d-conf18:33
Guest1234ubuntu did not reset permissions18:33
Guest1234older user = mike...home folder = /home/mike. NEW user = mike...home folder = /home/mike....but the new mike has a diff uid18:33
Guest1234and ubuntu did not recursively chown the new home18:34
dizzeyi should have thougth of that18:34
dizzeyhave happend to me before18:34
Guest1234i didnt notice until i tried poking around the files18:34
Guest1234well...ive never had it happen on a ubuntu install...iave had it happen on different distros18:35
dizzeynowdays i never keep any important files in my home folder so i never keep it18:35
Guest1234doing a chown now.18:35
Guest1234i backup the most important files to spideroak or dropbox18:35
Guest1234brb....hopefully with my normal irc client.18:36
dizzeyi keep all my documents on a svn server and all other stuff on my file server18:36
Fen-is there any way to reverse updates ?19:04
Fen-i mean for example to reverse changes from prev update19:04
Guest1234hello all. Does anyone know the command to restart xorg? /etc/init.d/gdm restart used to work...but has not since 10.10 iirc.19:04
Guest1234I vaugly remember a weird command like "pr restart" or something very short like that.19:05
Guest1234but cannot find it via google19:05
dizzeyFen-: yes and no . you cant but if you where running a filesystem with snapshot support then you could do a rollback19:05
Fen-hmm19:06
Fen-i got ext319:06
rwwso no19:06
rwwGuest1234: sudo service gdm restart?19:06
Guest1234rww: if im not mistaken that does not work either.19:07
Fen-rww:  well some backup software saved snapshots19:07
Guest1234somethign changed in 11.04 iirc and restarting gdm does not actually restart xorg19:07
jbichaGuest1234: I just use sudo pkill X which might not be the best way to do it19:09
Guest1234hmm19:09
Guest1234ok gonna try something brb19:10
Guest1234dammit. no gdm service in 11.1019:13
Guest1234this should not be so hard to find out19:13
Guest1234all i need to do is restart xorg lol19:13
trismGuest1234: probably lightdm: sudo restart lightdm19:16
Guest1234trism: hmm19:17
NickName321trying to restart lightdm does not actually restart xorg19:22
NickName321well...it at least does not make xorg reload the xorg.conf19:23
NickName321pkill Xorg did not force it to reload the conf either19:23

sirninjaI just installed ubuntu 11.10 on my computer, and the installation appears to go fine, but when I reboot, I get the message: "efi invalid arch independent ELF magic" in grub20:48
urlin2usirninja, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1741953  naty but the commands are thesame I believe.20:50
urlin2uyou have to know the partition though20:51
sirninjaurlin2u: I saw that post, but when i get to the command "linux ...." it says linux: command not found20:51
sirninjaand I changed the partitions accordingly20:51
urlin2usirninja, are you sure your making this exactly like this. set root=(hd0,msdos5)20:53
urlin2uyou j\have to get the commands exact20:54
sirninjaif my partition is /dev/sda7 it would be "root=(hd0,msdos8)" right?20:54
urlin2uno msdos7 I believe20:54
sirninjaI tried that as well. It's an ext4 partition, can grub read those or does it need to be ext3?20:55
urlin2upartition type does not matter as far as I knlw20:55
sirninjaI'm not having any luck with the rescue prompt. Is there any way I can just get the installer to do it that way the first time?20:56
urlin2usirninja, that portion is a standard manual boot command set.20:56
urlin2usirninja, are you sure the Ubuntu partition is sad720:57
urlin2usda7*20:57
sirninjacorrect. I'm reading the post and it says "reboot (you should now get a full grub, not just grub-rescue)" but I'm still getting grub-rescue20:57
urlin2usirninja, I would just go to the ubuntu forums and start a thread t will be faster realy.21:01
sirninjaurlin2u: would chrooting in and install grub-pc work instead of what that post said?21:01
urlin2uit21:01
sirninjaurlin2u: Guess I may have to do that. Thanks for your help though21:02
urlin2usirninja, you have grub-pc and grub-commons in ubuntu already, that is not the problem I would guess.21:02
urlin2uno problem, the manual boot is a bit tricky.21:02

gnomiethat being said, 11.04 was much more responsive on this box21:33
gnomieand i did have unity2d going there as well21:33

soeehi, guys do you have problems to run system after upgrade 11.04 -> 11.10b2 ?21:37
genii-aroundsoee: Better to just say how far along it is booting  and then what is happening. eg: grub halts.. or grub goes, then just a purple screen hangs... or so on21:38
soeegenii-around, i can pick system from grup than it hangs with full blue screen with some artefacts at top, when i choose recovery mode it hangs also at the second line (something about ram disc etc) but if i press enter after few second system starts (gdm shows up) and i can login21:40
soee*grub21:40
soeeduring upgrade there were some errors in console about pixbuff and icon-cache21:43
soeethere are also 2 dependency problems: kdepim-dev libboost-dev21:43

soeegenii-around, http://pastebin.com/2Jh8cdnX21:53
genii-aroundsoee: OK. The idea here is to make sure only the nvidia driver loads, which means to change line 11 to read: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"      and then sudo update-grub. For the editing you need admin rights so either kdesudo kate /etc/default/grub  or sudo nano /etc/default/grub ( I assume kde because you were in #kubuntu previous to here)21:56
