| Stanley00 | yes! at last firefox get back to "normal" ;)) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| min|dvir|us | Hi. I have reset all of my configuration (rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf blah blah). I am able to run unity --reset. However, when I run ccsm, I see the Unity launcher plugin is unchecked. I check it? Compiz quits. | 00:24 |
| min|dvir|us | (No title bars.) | 00:24 |
| Stanley00 | min|dvir|us: did you try relogin after remove your configs? | 00:25 |
| min|dvir|us | Yes. | 00:25 |
| Daekdroom | Unity isn't working here either | 00:26 |
| min|dvir|us | This has been happening for a couple of days now. | 00:26 |
| min|dvir|us | It really sucks. | 00:26 |
| Stanley00 | min|dvir|us: sound strange | 00:26 |
| min|dvir|us | I'm using gnome-shell now, but whenever I try to switch back, desktop explodes. | 00:27 |
| Stanley00 | min|dvir|us: idk, you can try adding new user, if it works, look in your config | 00:28 |
| urlin2u | min|dvir|us, Daekdroom either one of you been tweaking compiz | 00:28 |
| Daekdroom | Nope. It just won't work. | 00:28 |
| Daekdroom | unity --reset doesn't do anything | 00:29 |
| min|dvir|us | I reset all of my settings. | 00:29 |
| Daekdroom | I should try it again after upgrading packages, tho. | 00:29 |
| urlin2u | Daekdroom, isn't there a 2d choice not sure here. | 00:29 |
| Daekdroom | There is a 2D choice. I've been using it. | 00:29 |
| Stanley00 | min|dvir|us: can you tell me what exactly dir you have delete? | 00:30 |
| urlin2u | for unity? | 00:30 |
| Daekdroom | Yes. | 00:30 |
| Daekdroom | Albeit similar, I can tell the diference easily. | 00:30 |
| urlin2u | Daekdroom, sounds like a graphics driver is needd | 00:30 |
| Daekdroom | Nope. | 00:30 |
| Daekdroom | It's a unity issue | 00:30 |
| min|dvir|us | Stanley00: let me check. | 00:30 |
| Daekdroom | It was working alright before some updates. | 00:30 |
| min|dvir|us | Stanley00: `rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity` | 00:31 |
| urlin2u | Daekdroom, have you avoided the partial upgrade, not sure if ut is still there I just went to synaptic and ran the whole thing | 00:31 |
| urlin2u | it | 00:31 |
| min|dvir|us | Also, I just tried to log in to my guest account, and I got a system problem. | 00:31 |
| Daekdroom | I'm pretty sure the whole unity stuff is installed. | 00:32 |
| Stanley00 | min|dvir|us: as I though, need delete .compiz* too ;) | 00:32 |
| min|dvir|us | Stanley00: can I do this without logging out? | 00:32 |
| min|dvir|us | I'll just run unity --reset. | 00:32 |
| Stanley00 | min|dvir|us: I think you should log out | 00:32 |
| Stanley00 | min|dvir|us: and delete .config too ;) | 00:33 |
| min|dvir|us | Hell no. | 00:33 |
| min|dvir|us | I deleted those, and .compiz. I'm not deleting .config. | 00:33 |
| min|dvir|us | I can't believe you'd suggest that. | 00:34 |
| Stanley00 | min|dvir|us: at least .config/compiz* ;) | 00:34 |
| min|dvir|us | OK, done. | 00:34 |
| min|dvir|us | I'll be right back. | 00:34 |
| Stanley00 | min|dvir|us: good luck ;)) | 00:35 |
| min|dvir|us | Stanley00: did not help. | 00:42 |
| elliott | Is gnome-session-fallback really the recommended way of getting a typical GNOME shell? The panel looks ridiculous; much worse than the GNOME fallback in Natty. | 00:42 |
| Stanley00 | min|dvir|us: hmm, bad luck... | 00:43 |
| min|dvir|us | Stanley00: computing is never about luck. | 00:44 |
| Stanley00 | min|dvir|us: did you run unity --replace, and unity --reset when deleting your config? | 00:45 |
| TheBuntu | installed gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme.. but its not showing up in gnome-tweak-tool... so i can use shell themes | 00:45 |
| min|dvir|us | I did not run unity --replace because according to --help, it is the same thing as just unity. | 00:45 |
| min|dvir|us | I did run unity --reset. | 00:46 |
| jbicha | elliott: bug 828392 set your theme to Adwaita | 00:46 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 828392 in light-themes (Ubuntu) "light-themes don't display well in gnome-panel 3+" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/828392 | 00:46 |
| jbicha | and of course, gnome-session-fallback isn't a "typical GNOME shell" | 00:46 |
| elliott | jbicha: Well, it's not just the look. | 00:47 |
| elliott | I'm using a dark theme. | 00:47 |
| elliott | And the system menu, for instance, is gone. | 00:47 |
| min|dvir|us | Anyone have any advice? I can't run the Ubuntu panels at all. | 00:47 |
| elliott | Plus the clock is in the middle of the panel for no apparent reason. | 00:47 |
| jbicha | elliott: you're welcome to move the clock, that is the new GNOME default to make it look more like GNOME Shell, same with removing System | 00:48 |
| Stanley00 | min|dvir|us: one more trial and error, add a user, and check that if that new user can use unity nicely... | 00:48 |
| min|dvir|us | I already did. No success. | 00:48 |
| min|dvir|us | It's definitely a software issue. | 00:48 |
| min|dvir|us | Segmentation fault, every time. | 00:49 |
| elliott | jbicha: Well, okay. But still: the background of the panel is a solid colour rather than a gradient for some reason. That surely can't be intentional, as it just makes the panel look discontinuous and weird. | 00:49 |
| elliott | (And I'm definitely using a dark theme, the default.) | 00:49 |
| elliott | jbicha: And I certainly would change it, but right-clicking the panel doesn't give Preferences, and right-clicking elements don't give Move. | 00:50 |
| elliott | They just have the other menu items. | 00:50 |
| jbicha | elliott: you have to hold down Alt while right-clicking | 00:50 |
| Stanley00 | min|dvir|us: then you have a big problem, sorry, I cant help you out this case, it's out of my ability | 00:51 |
| elliott | How silly. :/ | 00:51 |
| min|dvir|us | Anyone want to help me with my big problem? | 00:51 |
| min|dvir|us | Unity does not work at all. | 00:51 |
| elliott | Still, I don't understand why the panel background has been changed to look so silly. | 00:51 |
| min|dvir|us | Sandy Bridge, using onboard graphics. | 00:51 |
| urlin2u | min|dvir|us, have you tried the 2d? | 00:51 |
| min|dvir|us | Yes, works just fine. | 00:52 |
| urlin2u | sandyt bridge look on the web is your best choice U think as well | 00:52 |
| urlin2u | u=I | 00:52 |
| jbicha | elliott: actually, setting the background to Solid Colour has a nice effect | 00:54 |
| elliott | you mean it makes all the text unreadable against the background? :P | 00:54 |
| jbicha | elliott: text is readable here, what background do you use? | 01:02 |
| elliott | The default. | 01:02 |
| elliott | I guess I'll just have to downgrade if I can't get the panel working sanely... | 01:02 |
| ModalSurrealist | I am having a problem with my computer not recognizing the hdmi output being connected | 01:04 |
| ModalSurrealist | when I had the default nvidia driver it showed an option for the hdmi device but was not actually displaying... and hten after installing the nvidia drivers it has gone away entirely | 01:05 |
| elliott | So, there is no known way to fix the background of gnome-panel in oneiric? | 01:09 |
| urlin2u | elliott, your using a development and you want to download? | 01:10 |
| urlin2u | downgrade | 01:11 |
| jbicha | elliott: try Solid Color, set the style slider all the way to Opaque and use the eyedropper to pick the same color as the window borders | 01:11 |
| elliott | urlin2u: I guess I'm not cut out for the betas. :p But I doubt this will be fixed, since Canonical doesn't seem to care about the Gnome desktop any more, seeing as it's being removed... jbicha: Well, the solid colour that it is now is close to that, it's just that every /element/ of the panel has the expected gradient behind it, so the fact that the gradient is discontinuous and only shows behind the panel elements is really jarring and ugly. | 01:12 |
| jbicha | it's not true that Canonical and Ubuntu devs don't care about the GNOME desktop | 01:14 |
| jbicha | there are very few devs working on gnome-panel though, gnome-shell is nice if you're in to that sort of thing | 01:14 |
| elliott | I guess I'm just annoyed that it's becoming harder and harder to get a desktop I can use each release... sorry. I don't care much for Gnome Shell, I'm afraid | 01:16 |
| Stanley00 | elliott: you want a gnome2 desktop as before? | 01:17 |
| elliott | Stanley00: I'm fine with gnome3 as long as it has the traditional panels around it. | 01:17 |
| urlin2u | arch has a fork, cetos, debian still have it | 01:17 |
| urlin2u | centos | 01:18 |
| elliott | I know. I'll probably just switch to Xubuntu if all else fails... | 01:18 |
| Stanley00 | elliott: gnome3 has a ppa for ubuntu, I think, and you can use a alternate CD to install just what you want ;0 | 01:18 |
| elliott | I have gnome-panel installed right now, I'm just having problems with it... | 01:18 |
| min|dvir|us | Hey, guys. I think I've discovered my problem. | 01:19 |

| min|dvir|us | I'd just like to know if there is anything I can do to mitigate this bug's effects. | 01:20 |
| ModalSurrealist | Follow up: On my nvidia card, if I enable one of the nvidia drivers then it does not recognize the hdmi output (even after installing nvidia-settings and nvtv) | 01:27 |
| ModalSurrealist | However, if I use Ubuntu's default driver... it SEES the TV but it does not actually display a picture on the TV | 01:28 |
| OerHeks | min|dvir|us, did you confirm this bug on launchpad ? | 01:28 |
| ModalSurrealist | Can someone please guide me as to the next thing to troubleshoot it? | 01:28 |
| min|dvir|us | OerHeks: I did not, but I did vouch for it. | 01:28 |
| OerHeks | min|dvir|us, else you can do is reinstall ccsm & unity plugin | 01:28 |
| min|dvir|us | How? | 01:29 |
| min|dvir|us | I already reinstalled CCSM. | 01:29 |
| min|dvir|us | I want to reinstall the plugin. | 01:29 |
| OerHeks | hmm does that plugin come with ubuntu-tweak ? | 01:33 |
| sianhulo | how i enable an screensaver? | 01:34 |
| OerHeks | sianhulo, good question, i find no screensaver nor settings, only energy settings. i guess you have to install them manually ? | 01:38 |
| alex_mayorga | sianhulo: click the gear at the top right, settings, screen perhaps? | 01:38 |
| sianhulo | alex_mayorga, i don't have any gear at the top right | 01:39 |
| sianhulo | i'm on screen and onlys hows screen time out and block time | 01:41 |
| sianhulo | shows* | 01:41 |
| bandit5432 | any one know any-thing about change nautilus icons?? | 02:03 |
| len | I installed Kubuntu Oneiric on an Acer 0722 netbook (new revision with new C-60 cpu and newer radeon), and the touchpad doesn't work at all. I checked the Xorg log and it showed it recognized a synaptics touchpad and loaded the drivers, so I'm not sure why it's not working. Any ideas? | 02:05 |
| bandit5432 | does it have a way to disable it with a switch? | 02:05 |
| bandit5432 | or key? | 02:05 |
| len | I'm not sure, but it worked in Windows 7. | 02:06 |
| bandit5432 | ok have you run kde-config-touchpad | 02:07 |
| len | I went into the touchpad configuration settings. That's for fine tuning the touchpads behavior though. This pad is getting zero response to any kind of taps or movements. | 02:08 |
| bandit5432 | i am looking there was a bug with this problem | 02:09 |
| bandit5432 | does the mouse work on the login screen? | 02:09 |
| len | I don't think so, but I'll log out and see. I have a mouse plugged in, and it works for everthing, just fine--the keypad works for nothing that I know of. I'll log out and see though. | 02:11 |
| len | Nope. Restarted X-server from login screen too, and nothing. Will reboot and test from login. | 02:14 |
| TheBuntu | in gnome shell i can see the normal gnome 2.x.x panel showing thru the shell panel | 02:16 |
| len | Doesn't work after a reboot either. I wonder of all Acer 0722 netbooks are effected, or just the ones shipping in the last month or two with updated hardware. The label on the units themselves even still say C-50 processor, but the latest shipping ones, indeed come with newer hardware (C-60, newer radeon version, and maybe updated mb chipset too since video is onboard. | 02:18 |
| bandit5432 | hmm i wonder if having a mouse pluged in disables the touchpad | 02:19 |
| bandit5432 | have you tried it with the mouse unplugged? | 02:19 |
| len | Yes. The only reason I plugged in the mouse is because the touchpad wasn't working. :) | 02:24 |
| bandit5432 | also have you shutdown this computer and tried? see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics#Synaptics_Loses_Multitouch_Detection_After_Rebooting_From_Windows | 02:24 |
| bandit5432 | i am at a lose did it work ok in the live system? | 02:25 |
| bandit5432 | loss' | 02:25 |
| len | I went right into install with out booting into the live desktop first. I'll try booting off the live Flash to see if it works. Have to change my bios back to boot for usb first though, so it will take me a few minutes. | 02:27 |
| bandit5432 | wait | 02:28 |
| bandit5432 | if this is a fresh install try deleting the .kde in ~ | 02:29 |
| syn-ack | Hey, I've got a question... Since upstream isn't doing it anymore, is Ubuntu going to add actual screensavers to the distro now or are we just gonna have to use something like xscreensaver? | 02:29 |
| urlin2u | b&jy4?<!dC | 02:30 |
| bandit5432 | len, did you install the radeon drivers? | 02:33 |
| len | No, because I read that they would screw up suspend on this netbook. | 02:34 |
| bandit5432 | hmm | 02:34 |
| len | Just booted into live flash, and it's not working from there either. | 02:34 |
| TheBuntu | Cant get gnome shell themes to look the way there supose to.. Because the gnome 2 style panel is showing thru the gnome shell panel | 02:35 |
| bandit5432 | len let me look some where else | 02:36 |
| len | K. I wonder if this is a problem common to all buntu's or just Kubuntu | 02:36 |
| bandit5432 | you dont happen to have a diffrent linux distro or gnome to try do you? | 02:37 |
| bandit5432 | other are haveing issues with touchapds on gnome as well | 02:37 |
| bandit5432 | see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/840857 | 02:37 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 840857 in gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) "Touchpad no longer working on Oneiric on Dell N3010" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 02:37 |
| len | Well, if this this had a dvd, it would be a lot easier to try a bunch of different CD's, but I only have the one flash drive. | 02:38 |
| em | hey syn-ack | 02:39 |
| syn-ack | em Hello. | 02:40 |
| em | haven't i seen you in other channels? | 02:40 |
| syn-ack | I'm sure you have. | 02:40 |
| em | cool :) | 02:40 |
| bandit5432 | len i understand | 02:40 |
| syn-ack | Man I wish I had more ROM space on my Phone so I could run UbuntuONE on it. | 02:41 |
| bandit5432 | len have you tried asking over at #kubuntu ?? | 02:45 |
| len | Hmm. I just found a key to toggle touchpad on off. It's <Fn><F7>, and now it is working! I never turned it off in the first place though, and can't see how I could have hit that by accident, so maybe it is disabling it at start for some reason. I'm going to reboot and see if it is still enabled at startup. | 02:45 |
| bandit5432 | :) yay | 02:46 |
| bandit5432 | any one have any suggetions on a room to ask for help in hacking the nautilus ui? | 02:48 |
| len | Hmm. That only worked on the live CD. When I booted back to the HD it wasn't working again. Tried the toggle again, but didn't work + I don't know if it thinks it is on or off because there is no led to tell you which way it is supposed to be toggled. | 02:50 |
| bandit5432 | some people said that when you open the touchpad options in kde thats when it stops working | 02:51 |
| bandit5432 | have you talked to any one in #kubuntu ??? | 02:51 |
| bandit5432 | i see you are in that channel | 02:52 |
| len | No, I figured they wouldn't want oneiric talk in there | 02:52 |
| bandit5432 | lets ask real quick and see what happens | 02:52 |
| bandit5432 | there is a kubuntu+1 buts its invite only | 02:52 |
| rww | it's not invite only, it redirects here, but you're already here and freenode has odd errors sometimes | 02:53 |
| len | Not really in there, Quassel just auto logged me in 'cause I was there before. | 02:53 |
| rww | well, it is invite only. but it's also +f | 02:53 |
| len | I did not know about K+1 | 02:53 |
| bandit5432 | i see rww | 02:53 |
| bandit5432 | wonder why i get an error when i try and join it | 02:54 |
| bandit5432 | no matter | 02:54 |
| bandit5432 | you think he will get more help here or in kubuntu? | 02:54 |
| * rww sighs | 02:55 | |
| bandit5432 | :| | 02:55 |
| rww | bandit5432: If you're not in #ubuntu+1 and do /join #kubuntu+1, you end up here. | 02:55 |
| rww | There is no separate channel population in #kubuntu+1 | 02:55 |
| bandit5432 | i wondered about that | 02:55 |
| === histo_ is now known as histo | ||
| bandit5432 | but i didnt want to try it | 02:55 |
| rww | If you are in #ubuntu+1 and do /join #kubuntu+1, freenode gives a stupid error message, but it means "can't forward to a channel you're already in" | 02:56 |
| bandit5432 | makes perfect sense | 02:56 |
| bandit5432 | but some one should put that in the channel topic of kubuntu i would think | 02:56 |
| bandit5432 | of course people never read the topic so nvm | 02:57 |
| bandit5432 | is there a dedicated ubuntu or gnome hacking channel that any one knows about?? | 02:57 |
| TheBuntu | Anyone able to tell me why gnome3 shell is runing on top of gnome 2 | 02:58 |
| bandit5432 | i dont frequent irc enough these days | 02:58 |
| len | I logged back into Windows so I could tell for sure what state the touchpad was in. Logged out and back into Kubuntu, and now it is working. It seems like the synaptics driver is working fine, but something funny is going on the changing the enabled/disabled state. | 02:58 |
| bandit5432 | TheBuntu, are you runnin gnome 2 themes on gnome 3? | 02:58 |
| bandit5432 | len kde is having issues with touchpads it looks like they have been for a while now from reading forum posts | 02:59 |
| len | At least it is good to know that driver itself works. | 02:59 |
| bandit5432 | yes | 03:00 |
| TheBuntu | bandit5432: installed kubuntu 11.10... then installed ubuntu-desktop.... then gnome shell... installed gnome shell themes.. and i see gnome 2 panel behind gnome shell panel | 03:01 |
| bandit5432 | len, i would still ask in the kbuntu channel and see what they say | 03:01 |
| bandit5432 | TheBuntu, when you login what desktop do you choose? | 03:02 |
| TheBuntu | gnome | 03:02 |
| jbicha | TheBuntu: what graphics driver are you using? | 03:02 |
| TheBuntu | i have uninstalled unity... gnome panel for gnome 2... metacity... | 03:03 |
| TheBuntu | bandit5432: nvidia 280 | 03:03 |
| len | Now I just need to figure out why the wired networking is flacky and unreliable. This is the first computer, out of a couple dozen or so, that I've ever had any issues with a wired nic in any linux. Usually it's the wireless that is the problem. The really strange part is the the wired nic is Atheros in this system and the wireless is broadcom. I've never seen Atheros wired before, and if it is you'd thing the system would have wireless | 03:03 |
| len | Atheros too. | 03:03 |
| TheBuntu | even have right click on the desktop and gnome3 dont have right click | 03:05 |
| jbicha | TheBuntu: GNOME 3 does have right click, can you post a screenshot? | 03:05 |
| bandit5432 | i think jbicha can help you more than me TheBuntu | 03:05 |
| len | I supposed most people don't use netbooks wired too often. | 03:05 |
| bandit5432 | len, i use wired when ever i can so if i use my laptop even i use it wired | 03:06 |
| bandit5432 | the cards i have been seeing in netbooks and laptops lately have been really weird like that | 03:06 |
| len | I always feel better wired too, but in this case, something is goofy with the wired, and the wireless works better. I'm thinking maybe there is some kind of confict going on with the wired and wireless drivers. | 03:07 |
| bandit5432 | look at you logs and see what they say | 03:07 |
| bandit5432 | i dont have any clue on how to do that with kde though | 03:08 |
| bandit5432 | looks like you would use KSystemLog | 03:08 |
| len | the wired driver to giving off error messages. I'm going to look into it. Just seems strange to have wired driver problems. | 03:09 |
| TheBuntu | bandit5432: http://i.imgur.com/pAOBh.jpg if you look at panel you can see gnome2 menel behind gnome shel panel | 03:09 |
| bandit5432 | TheBuntu, looks like you have nautilus running in the background | 03:10 |
| bjsnider | there's nothing unusual in that screenshot | 03:10 |
| bjsnider | that is indeed nautilus running in the bg | 03:11 |
| TheBuntu | how do i get it out of the background | 03:11 |
| bandit5432 | killall nautilus? | 03:11 |
| bjsnider | i will respawn | 03:11 |
| bandit5432 | ok whats causing it then ? | 03:11 |
| bjsnider | that happens because you have nautilus handling the desktop in gnome-tweak-tool | 03:12 |
| bandit5432 | you reading this TheBuntu ? | 03:12 |
| bjsnider | switch that off and nautilus will not appear like that | 03:12 |
| TheBuntu | that fixed it.... | 03:13 |
| bandit5432 | good call bjsnider and ty | 03:13 |
| jbicha | TheBuntu: but by default the GNOME Shell top bar isn't supposed to be transparent | 03:13 |
| hasen | just upgraded to 11.10, my laptop has an ati video card, and doesn't boot properly | 03:13 |
| bjsnider | he's obviously themed gnome-shell to some degree | 03:13 |
| hasen | it boots when i choose recovery mode, but no 3d | 03:13 |
| TheBuntu | i know... i install gnome shell themes | 03:14 |
| hasen | I'm on the open source driver | 03:14 |
| bandit5432 | hasen have you installed the proprietory drivers? | 03:15 |
| hasen | bandit5432, no i haven't | 03:15 |
| hasen | should i? | 03:15 |
| TheBuntu | jbicha: my GNOME Shell is useing Malys-blackglass theme | 03:15 |
| hasen | I've always done fine without them | 03:15 |
| bandit5432 | well you have to have accelerated drivers for unity i believe | 03:16 |
| hasen | It worked with 11.04 | 03:16 |
| bandit5432 | try installing the drivers and see if it works | 03:17 |
| hasen | ok | 03:17 |
| hasen | I'm kinda worried about them messing the system | 03:17 |
| hasen | but I dont know if it can get any messier :P | 03:18 |
| bandit5432 | that should not mess the system up | 03:18 |
| bandit5432 | click on the dash button and choose more apps | 03:19 |
| hasen | installing now .. | 03:19 |
| bandit5432 | you are fast | 03:19 |
| hasen | I'm talking from a mac here .. | 03:19 |
| hasen | well not really that fast .. | 03:19 |
| hasen | I already knew i have this option | 03:20 |
| bandit5432 | you like the new unity features? | 03:20 |
| hasen | but I don't know, I was worried | 03:20 |
| hasen | oh I love unity | 03:20 |
| hasen | hm, that may have sounded sarcastic .. (it's not) | 03:20 |
| bandit5432 | from what i have used of osx i would think most mac users would like unity | 03:20 |
| hasen | I bought this mac after unity ;) | 03:21 |
| hasen | and yea, I think unity is better than mac | 03:21 |
| hasen | well, the desktop part anyway | 03:21 |
| bandit5432 | i have not used osx enough to much time doing other things | 03:22 |
| bandit5432 | hmmi updated my drivers as well and my vm install is running better | 03:22 |
| hasen | installation done, booted fine now :D | 03:23 |
| bandit5432 | good | 03:23 |
| bandit5432 | looks better with the drivers for me any way | 03:23 |
| hasen | hmm, no shadows .. | 03:24 |
| bandit5432 | uhoh | 03:24 |
| hasen | how can I stop the launcher from hiding? | 03:24 |
| bandit5432 | did you switch to the regular unity at login? | 03:24 |
| hasen | yea | 03:25 |
| hasen | it doesn't believe i have 3d? :/ | 03:25 |
| hasen | hm, and hd video flickers in vlc | 03:26 |
| bandit5432 | let me login to regular unity | 03:26 |
| hasen | are you on a radeon card as well? | 03:26 |
| bandit5432 | no i am in a vm | 03:27 |
| hasen | ok | 03:27 |
| bandit5432 | for the unity launcher look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity scroll down to the 11.10 part | 03:30 |
| bandit5432 | when you login are you getting an error about 3d? | 03:30 |
| hasen | hm, i don't think so | 03:31 |
| bandit5432 | if you are not getting an error and you choose unity at login then you should be good to go | 03:32 |
| hasen | that's what I did .. | 03:32 |
| hasen | i uninstalled fglrx (sp?) using instructions from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:%20%20Need%20to%20fully%20remove%20-fglrx%20and%20reinstall%20-ati%20from%20scratch | 03:32 |
| hasen | and now got the same problem again .. | 03:32 |
| hasen | guess I have to install it again :/ | 03:33 |
| hasen | I should install gnome-shell too | 03:33 |
| bandit5432 | i would reinstall the ati drivers yes | 03:33 |
| bandit5432 | i would only install gnome-shell if you want to try it or dont like unity | 03:34 |
| hasen | well .. | 03:35 |
| hasen | why? | 03:35 |
| * Stanley00 dont know why so many people doesnt like unity... :( | 03:35 | |
| hasen | it also serves for comparison | 03:35 |
| bandit5432 | well yes thats true | 03:35 |
| bandit5432 | Stanley00, i just have not used it and am used to the work flow of gnome 2 | 03:36 |
| Stanley00 | bandit5432: gnome 2 is not supported anymore, isnt it? | 03:38 |
| bandit5432 | some features are not that is correct | 03:38 |
| bandit5432 | but it currently works ok with 11.04 | 03:38 |
| rww | Stanley00: no, it isn't | 03:39 |
| bandit5432 | and i am looking into swtiching to gnome 3 using fallback mode | 03:39 |
| hasen | ok, gnome-shell does say that 3d failed to load (no i haven't reinstall proprietry yet) | 03:39 |
| bandit5432 | you need to install the ati drivers | 03:39 |
| Stanley00 | bandit5432: gnome3 doesnt look like gnome2 either, everything changed ;) | 03:39 |
| bandit5432 | no it doesnt look exactly the same but it looks more like gnome 2 then unity or gnome-shell | 03:40 |
| bandit5432 | i am really interested in using unity on my tablet i think for that purpose i will like it | 03:42 |
| TheBuntu | anytime i open nautilus it opens plus opens in the background... i close it then i have to do the killall nautilus... is there away to stop that | 03:44 |
| hasen | ok, now gnome-shell works fine (3d) but unity still has no shadows ... and feels like unity-2d | 03:45 |
| Stanley00 | TheBuntu: I dont think that's a good idea... nautilus need run in background in case you plug in some USB drive, or some kind of that | 03:46 |
| TheBuntu | Stanley00: i i open it... it opens and i close it.. you see the menu behind my gnome shell top panel... | 03:48 |
| bandit5432 | hasen i dont have a clue about the shadows i dont see where there should be shadows | 03:48 |
| bandit5432 | open a app and then open the dash and see what that looks like | 03:48 |
| TheBuntu | ibut in gnome tweak tool i just truned off let file manager handle desktop and that fixed it | 03:49 |
| Stanley00 | TheBuntu: ah, that the menu of unity, some kind of global menu, never mind that | 03:49 |
| TheBuntu | Stanley00: i uninstalled unity | 03:49 |
| hasen | ok, the dash background is blurred .. but it's a static blur | 03:50 |
| Stanley00 | TheBuntu: hmm, I dont have exp with gnome-shell, just use unity, then sorry :( | 03:50 |
| TheBuntu | allready fixed it so it dont matter | 03:50 |
| hasen | The unity settings don't seem to be respected: the launcher is set to never hides, but it auto-hides | 03:52 |
| hasen | seems like I'm running unity-2d | 03:52 |
| bandit5432 | i had that problem with cssm a logout and logback in seemed to fix it | 03:52 |
| Stanley00 | hasen: you can check via drag an icon out of launcher... | 03:53 |
| bandit5432 | ok that helps ty Stanley00 | 03:53 |
| hasen | I type 'unity' to a command line and it crashed .. :P | 03:54 |
| hasen | lost the window decoration | 03:54 |
| hasen | how do I get it back? | 03:54 |
| hasen | compiz doesn't run | 03:54 |
| Stanley00 | hasen: try press ctrl + alt + del to log out | 03:54 |
| hasen | gtk-window-decorator isn't doing anything | 03:54 |
| hasen | ok, i was hoping there's a way to bring it back without logging out .. | 03:55 |
| Stanley00 | hasen: then type Ctrl + Alt + F1 or so, then rerun unity ;) | 03:55 |
| hasen | that's how it crashed .. | 03:56 |
| hasen | (i typed it into a terminal window) | 03:56 |
| hasen | anyway I'm rebooting now | 03:56 |
| Stanley00 | hasen: that's a good choice ;) | 03:56 |
| hasen | hm, can't move icons outside launcher | 03:57 |
| bandit5432 | looks like the always show the unity launcher does not work if you run anyhting maximized | 03:57 |
| hasen | no my unity is falling back to unity-2d | 03:57 |
| hasen | I don't get it | 03:58 |
| hasen | when I ran it from a live usb, it worked fine | 03:58 |
| bandit5432 | you cant move the icons form the launcher | 03:58 |
| hasen | yes and the workspace switcher is 2d-esque | 03:59 |
| bandit5432 | i dont see much diffrence between unity 3d and 2d maybe mine is not working either | 03:59 |
| sgerbino | hey all, does anyone know if eclipse indigo will make it in 11.10? | 04:00 |
| hasen | oooooh | 04:00 |
| hasen | wait | 04:00 |
| hasen | when I typed unity into the terminal | 04:00 |
| micahg | sgerbino: someone is working on it, but it might not happen | 04:00 |
| hasen | it fails because plugin 'text' is not loaded .. | 04:00 |
| sgerbino | micahg: thanks for the info | 04:01 |
| hasen | compiz (core) - Error: Plugin 'test' not loaded. | 04:01 |
| hasen | ^ text | 04:01 |
| Stanley00 | sgerbino: but you can manually install it. | 04:02 |
| sgerbino | Stanley00: I did, I got it in /opt/eclipse running good now -- just was curious about having it in repo and unity integration possibly | 04:02 |
| Stanley00 | sgerbino: it still galileo, as I know ;)) | 04:03 |
| bandit5432 | i dont have a clue hasen | 04:04 |
| hasen | enabled text plugin, now get 'GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object not supported' | 04:04 |
| bandit5432 | is this a fresh install or and update? | 04:05 |
| hasen | upgrade | 04:05 |
| bandit5432 | hmm some one else is going to have to help you on this one | 04:06 |
| bandit5432 | i am out of ideas | 04:06 |
| hasen | no worries | 04:06 |
| hasen | maybe now I will install fglrx again | 04:06 |
| hasen | (i have the other ati driver now :P) | 04:07 |
| bandit5432 | which are the ati ones? | 04:07 |
| hasen | there's 2 | 04:07 |
| hasen | one for 2d | 04:07 |
| hasen | one for 3d | 04:07 |
| hasen | hmm | 04:07 |
| hasen | jokey thinks fglrx is installed .. | 04:07 |
| bandit5432 | you need the drivers from ati which are the fglrx ones i believe | 04:08 |
| bandit5432 | hasen could you open a terminal and run glxgears? | 04:11 |
| hasen | glxgears works fine | 04:12 |
| escott | bandit5432, glxgears is not a good way to test | 04:12 |
| escott | use glxinfo instead | 04:12 |
| escott | virtually any processor these days can run glxgears above your refresh rate | 04:13 |
| bandit5432 | oh i thought it would give an error if 3d accelration was not working | 04:13 |
| bandit5432 | and for me it does at the start same error as glxgears OpenGL Warning: Failed to connect to host. Make sure 3D acceleration is enabled for this VM. | 04:14 |
| bandit5432 | hasen you dont get an error about no 3d acceleration? | 04:16 |
| hasen | bandit: no, and gnome-shell works fine | 04:16 |
| bandit5432 | so then i would say that unity was working fine as well | 04:17 |
| hasen | no | 04:17 |
| hasen | when i run it from a terminal I do get an error | 04:18 |
| hasen | (I posted it above) | 04:18 |
| hasen | gl_arb_vertex_buffer not supported | 04:18 |
| hasen | google shows that the proprietry driver sucks | 04:20 |
| hasen | someone got that error with it on 11.04 | 04:21 |
| bandit5432 | what card are you using? | 04:22 |
| hasen | some radeon | 04:22 |
| hasen | system76 laptop | 04:23 |
| urlin2u | hasen, you can get sytem76 support on the Ubuntu forums as well from them directly, if needed. | 04:24 |
| hasen | hehe, I don't know .. I'm installing a beta version of ubuntu | 04:24 |
| bandit5432 | hasen try changing the settings in the ati control center | 04:24 |
| bandit5432 | sudo amdcccle | 04:24 |
| hasen | hmm, ok i'll try that | 04:25 |
| hasen | didn't know about that command | 04:25 |
| hasen | thanks | 04:25 |
| bandit5432 | and what does the out put of fglrxinfo show? | 04:26 |
| hasen | hold on, it's uninstalled right now | 04:26 |
| bandit5432 | grumbles | 04:27 |
| bandit5432 | :P | 04:27 |
| bandit5432 | and yes i know no emots in the chat | 04:27 |
| hasen | what? there's a rule for that? | 04:28 |
| bandit5432 | i need to find answers to my issues | 04:28 |
| bandit5432 | hasen, in most of these chaneels there is i assume there is in this one | 04:28 |
| hasen | what were they? | 04:28 |
| bandit5432 | maybe they changed it or i am thinking of a diffrent channel | 04:31 |
| bandit5432 | any way did you get the drivers installed? | 04:31 |
| bandit5432 | hasen, you get the drivers installed? | 04:35 |
| hasen | yea | 04:35 |
| hasen | amdcccle did nothing useful | 04:35 |
| bandit5432 | did you restart after you installed the drivers? | 04:36 |
| hasen | yea of course | 04:36 |
| hasen | ATI mobitility radeon hd 4500 series | 04:36 |
| bandit5432 | then unity is working now? | 04:36 |
| hasen | nope | 04:37 |
| bandit5432 | whats the error? | 04:38 |
| hasen | same | 04:38 |
| hasen | gl_arb_vertex_buffer_object not supported | 04:38 |
| hasen | must some package missing or something .. | 04:40 |
| hasen | because the live usb works fine | 04:40 |
| hasen | or maybe I have a package that's conflicting? | 04:40 |
| hasen | or some legacy setting that's interfering ... | 04:40 |
| bandit5432 | i would follow the instructions here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:__Need_to_fully_remove_-fglrx_and_reinstall_-ati_from_scratch | 04:41 |
| bandit5432 | follow them all | 04:41 |
| hasen | :) | 04:43 |
| hasen | I did | 04:43 |
| hasen | I posted this link somewhere above | 04:43 |
| hasen | it goes back to the original problem: | 04:43 |
| hasen | boot fails with garbles screen | 04:43 |
| bandit5432 | even after you reinstall all of the listed debs? | 04:44 |
| hasen | listed debs? | 04:44 |
| bandit5432 | sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core | 04:44 |
| hasen | i put all these commands in a file and run it from the terminal | 04:45 |
| hasen | yea | 04:45 |
| hasen | you meant packages, hehe | 04:45 |
| bandit5432 | well packages = debs | 04:45 |
| hasen | I suppose | 04:45 |
| hasen | I thought you meant some specific .deb files | 04:45 |
| bandit5432 | i would just copy and paste each command one at a time | 04:45 |
| hasen | as in, you know .. links to deb files to download | 04:45 |
| hasen | what? why? | 04:46 |
| hasen | that's a waste of time | 04:46 |
| bandit5432 | then finaly run the last one sudo apt-get install fglrx-modaliases | 04:46 |
| hasen | hm, I doubht that one is needed | 04:46 |
| bandit5432 | it is if you want the drivers to work | 04:46 |
| bandit5432 | as the instructions say | 04:47 |
| bandit5432 | If you want desktop effects (compiz or KDE) you'll need the glx module loaded. This will not work even after purging fglrx since a hanging libglx.so file is left around. Both fglrx and xserver-xorg-core provide this file so to replace it with the correct version you'll need to reinstall xserver-xorg-core as well. | 04:47 |
| hasen | that's the wrong paragraph | 04:47 |
| bandit5432 | oh it is | 04:47 |
| hasen | that fglrx-modaliases is for when you want to be able to reinstall fglrx | 04:47 |
| bandit5432 | fglrx are the ati drivers you need!!! | 04:48 |
| hasen | fglrx sucks | 04:49 |
| bandit5432 | then enjoy not having a working 3d unity | 04:49 |
| hasen | I already tried it | 04:49 |
| bandit5432 | the whole point of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:__Need_to_fully_remove_-fglrx_and_reinstall_-ati_from_scratch | 04:50 |
| bandit5432 | is to purge the dirvers so you can install fglrx and get 3d accel to work | 04:50 |
| hasen | and that's what I did .. | 04:50 |
| bandit5432 | see the post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743380 | 04:50 |
| bandit5432 | you just said you did not reinstall fglrx cause it sucks | 04:51 |
| hasen | no no I just said that .. | 04:51 |
| hasen | it sucks because it failed after I tried it | 04:52 |
| hasen | it failed from before too | 04:52 |
| hasen | this guide is NOT for reinstalling fglrx | 04:52 |
| hasen | it's for getting rid of it | 04:52 |
| bandit5432 | <hasen> that fglrx-modaliases is for when you want to be able to reinstall fglrx ... is what you wrote | 04:52 |
| hasen | and using the open source driver | 04:52 |
| hasen | um yea | 04:52 |
| hasen | what I mean is | 04:52 |
| hasen | I'm not just being stubborn and hating fglrx | 04:52 |
| hasen | it actually doesn't solve the problem | 04:52 |
| bandit5432 | oh ok | 04:53 |
| hasen | it could just be a bug because it's still in beta | 04:53 |
| hasen | oh well | 04:53 |
| bandit5432 | so have you retried running all of the commands from the page posted and then restarting and see if it works now | 04:53 |
| hasen | aha | 04:54 |
| bandit5432 | incuding the last one sudo apt-get install fglrx-modaliases | 04:54 |
| hasen | no | 04:54 |
| bandit5432 | do that and see if it works | 04:55 |
| bandit5432 | i am going to take a bath and when i get back i hope its working | 04:57 |
| bandit5432 | does any one know if you can add buttons to nautilus 3.x i see where you can hide some? | 05:09 |
| hasen | is there a place that logs what happens when booting? like if anything fails during boot? | 05:12 |
| bandit5432 | yes | 05:13 |
| bandit5432 | and i just realized i have not clue where it is in 11.10 | 05:13 |
| jbicha | bandit5432: no, you can't edit the Nautilus 3 buttons | 05:15 |
| bandit5432 | its under dash>more apps>installed>logging | 05:15 |
| bandit5432 | jbicha, thank you i just found the bug post for it | 05:16 |
| bandit5432 | seems that gnome has turned into apple :C | 05:16 |
| bandit5432 | can any one confirm that the logging show logs? | 05:17 |
| bandit5432 | log viewer that is' | 05:17 |
| bandit5432 | nvm i see its not like the old one that showed some when you open it | 05:17 |
| bandit5432 | hasen, if you use log viewer you need to open the log file to be viewed | 05:18 |
| hasen | yea | 05:18 |
| hasen | which file though? :) | 05:18 |
| bandit5432 | what are you looking for if its about the video driver open up Xorg.0.log | 05:19 |
| hasen | oh ok | 05:20 |
| hasen | path? | 05:20 |
| bandit5432 | should open up to the correct path if not its /var/log/ | 05:21 |
| bandit5432 | /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 05:21 |
| hasen | ok | 05:21 |
| bandit5432 | i am sad now | 05:21 |
| hasen | aww | 05:22 |
| hasen | why? | 05:22 |
| hasen | :P | 05:22 |
| bandit5432 | not with you i am tired of developers deciding just because they dont want something then every one else should not want it either | 05:23 |
| hasen | hmm, something weird | 05:26 |
| hasen | when i do that fglrx cleaning script | 05:27 |
| hasen | it says, while installing packages | 05:27 |
| hasen | that x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf is broken | 05:27 |
| bandit5432 | which line do you get that error on? | 05:31 |
| famine | if I have 11.10 alpha installed...is there an apt command to upgrade my entire system to the latest version? | 05:31 |
| IdleOne | apt-get update; apt-get upgrade | 05:33 |
| bandit5432 | any one running elementary? | 05:33 |
| rww | the Ubuntu derivative? | 05:34 |
| rww | if so, ask the #elementary channel, we don't support it here | 05:34 |
| bandit5432 | i think its just a ppa adon | 05:35 |
| bandit5432 | addon | 05:35 |
| bandit5432 | cool i been asking for help with ubuntu for 2 days no response ask about elemetary and i get told where to go | 05:35 |
| bandit5432 | thanks | 05:35 |
| bandit5432 | hasen, what have you figured out? | 05:37 |
| hasen | reading this | 05:37 |
| hasen | https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/80 | 05:37 |
| hasen | final suggestion that worked for this guy was: | 05:37 |
| hasen | sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-dri | 05:37 |
| hasen | I'll try it | 05:37 |
| hasen | bandit5432, what was the thing you're asking about? | 05:39 |
| bandit5432 | is cool jbicha found the answer for me | 05:40 |
| bandit5432 | i wanted to know if there was a way to change the icon lay out of nuatulis | 05:40 |
| bandit5432 | nautilus' | 05:41 |
| bandit5432 | and there is not per the gnome devs say no and that not being able to change them is by design | 05:41 |
| bandit5432 | hasen, you notice that the command that you put in from the github is included in the commands that i wanted you to copy and paste into your tierminal from the ubuntu wiki?? | 05:42 |
| bandit5432 | terminal | 05:43 |
| hasen | was it? | 05:43 |
| bandit5432 | sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core | 05:43 |
| hasen | oh ok | 05:43 |
| hasen | hehe | 05:43 |
| hasen | I thought only the glx one was included | 05:43 |
| hasen | didn't check | 05:43 |
| hasen | anyway, it didn't work | 05:44 |
| bandit5432 | did you get all the way to the end of the list of commands and restart? | 05:45 |
| bandit5432 | should have been 7 commands | 05:45 |
| hasen | i copy-pasted the entire thing | 05:46 |
| hasen | didn't type it manualy one by one .. | 05:46 |
| bandit5432 | and then the last one | 05:46 |
| bandit5432 | sudo apt-get install fglrx-modaliases | 05:47 |
| hasen | hmm no | 05:47 |
| hasen | hehe | 05:47 |
| hasen | but I did run it | 05:47 |
| hasen | it didn't do anything | 05:47 |
| hasen | in fact it said package has no candidate | 05:47 |
| bandit5432 | just now it did?? | 05:47 |
| hasen | well .. not just now .. | 05:48 |
| hasen | a while ago | 05:48 |
| bandit5432 | ok do you want help or not? | 05:48 |
| hasen | do you have anything new? | 05:48 |

| liar | jbicha: because yesterday when i said it worked on the classic desktop i accidentally invoked gnome-settings-daemon as root. so the conclusion: gnome-settings-daemon invoked as root fixes the themes until i reboot (both on unity and the classic desktop) but if its executed without sudo it does not work | 07:25 |
| jbicha | liar: if you run something as root that shouldn't be, it could mess up your file permissions | 07:26 |
| jbicha | I haven't messed with gnome-settings-daemon much but you could also try sudo chown -R yourname:yourname ~/.gconf | 07:29 |
| jbicha | and sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername ~/.config | 07:29 |
| jbicha | but I don't know whether that's your problem or not | 07:30 |

| binni | not sure about the exact name of the mic but it's on a logitech hd 720p webcam | 09:52 |
| HyperJapan | Hey guys | 09:53 |
| HyperJapan | If I were to install Kubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 right now, when the final or another beta comes round, do I need to do a fresh install or update-manager -d, or can I just run normal updates to bring me to the latest release? | 09:53 |
| binni | HyperJapan: I asked this question earlier today, some guy said that if nothing brakes it's the same install. | 09:54 |
| HyperJapan | binni: Ah right, thanks | 09:55 |
| binni | okay so I managed to get audio recording working in audacity by changing input device from default: Mic: 0 to USB Device 0x46d:0x81b: USB Audio (hw:1,0): Mic: 1, so I guess I need to do the same for skype, going to see if I find any configuration for that. | 09:58 |
| binni | skype says: Microphone: PulseAudio server (local), okay.. so how do I change the mic of whatever that refers to? | 10:00 |

| BluesKaj | Hey all | 12:27 |
| BluesKaj | I see a major desktop update for kde just came down from the repos . Wonder if it'll fix my kwin issues | 12:29 |
| M0hi | cjohnston: I have heard from many people that in chromium, that issue was existing. But was before a month. Not sure about now | 12:34 |
| cjohnston | I don't have trouble on my laptop which is also running +1 M0hi | 12:34 |
| M0hi | that is quite strange. you have multiarch enabled in both the machines right? | 12:35 |
| cjohnston | dunno | 12:35 |
| M0hi | You installed the beta version or is the desktop a version before alpha 3 ? | 12:37 |
| M0hi | From Alpha 3, multiarch is enabled by default | 12:37 |
| cjohnston | b2 on the desktop, the laptop was installed at a2 and upgraded | 12:37 |
| M0hi | err also the bug my friends were talking about was in Opera and not in Chromium. Sorry for the wrong update. | 12:39 |
| M0hi | cjohnston: try flashplugin64 | 12:39 |
| cjohnston | M0hi: I'm not seeing that in my repos.. when searching | 12:39 |
| cjohnston | for some reason, which I'm trying to figure out now, I have two different lists when search adobe on the two machines | 12:40 |
| M0hi | ah! | 12:40 |
| cjohnston | I'm quite confused... | 12:41 |
| cjohnston | I'm not seeing any differences | 12:41 |
| cjohnston | M0hi: on my laptop, I have flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-downloader installed.. they arent available on the desktop | 12:45 |
| M0hi | cjohnston: repositories are the same? | 12:46 |

| Tronic | After updating to 11.10 my network started to disconnect about once a day. The interface still has an IP but communication won't work for some reason until after I restart dhclient. | 14:23 |
| ikonia | why are peopel using beta software and surprised that it's not working | 14:24 |
| ikonia | Tronic: what are you using to configure your network card | 14:24 |
| Tronic | /etc/network/interfaces. networking restart has the same effect (fixing the connection). | 14:25 |
| ikonia | Tronic: can you pastebin it please ? | 14:25 |
| iceroot | Tronic: is ip based communication also not working? or only FQDN-based? | 14:25 |
| Tronic | I'm running a rather complex vlan + bridge setup but had no issues with on 11.04. | 14:25 |
| ikonia | Tronic: have you tried removing the entry from interface file and using the gnome-network-manager tool to configure it | 14:25 |
| Tronic | http://pastebin.com/nq6H4ezL | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | i have odd flash problem ...flvs play ok on the desktop, but flash webcontent has no audio | 14:27 |
| Tronic | The post-up command also stopped working after upgrading to 11.10. Now I have to setup NAT manually every time networking is restarted. | 14:27 |
| ikonia | Tronic: which interface is not coming up | 14:27 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: someone had an issue with an kde update yesterday, they purged the flash package and re-install and it worked, something had been overwritten in the kde update, is that possibly the same issue you are seeing | 14:28 |
| Tronic | ikonia: All interfaces come up as they should, and communications work for about 24 hours. After that all interfaces still are up but I won't get ping/tracepath responses from anywhere. | 14:28 |
| ikonia | Tronic: do the interfaces still have ip addresses ? | 14:28 |
| Tronic | *anywhere on the internet (interface br200) | 14:29 |
| Tronic | Haven't checked the routing table in this faulty state yet, I guess that would be the next thing to do once it breaks tomorrow. | 14:29 |
| ikonia | I'd advise looking at a.) the cards do they all have interfaces still b.) the routing c.) the lease file on the dhcp server d.) the syslog on the client | 14:30 |
| Tronic | ikonia: Yes, br200 still has the proper IP. After restarting networking it still has the same IP. | 14:30 |
| ikonia | Tronic: what about the virtual interfaces | 14:30 |
| BluesKaj | ikonia, I doubt it ...our internet was down yesterday for 14 hrs due to an accident of some kind , so I didn'y get the update til today , and this web flash problem has been around since I installed a new m-audio sound card | 14:30 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: ah ha, | 14:30 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: I did say I was interested as to how you got on with that card, the Linux support used to be terrible, I'm wondering if this is still the issue with those cards | 14:31 |
| Tronic | ikonia: No IPs on them. | 14:31 |
| ikonia | Tronic: is that what you are exepecting ? | 14:32 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: this is a poor test, but if you remove the card, does it come to life ? | 14:32 |
| Tronic | Yes, communication happens via br200. | 14:32 |
| ikonia | Tronic: so routing table and the syslog are your friends when it fails next time | 14:33 |
| Tronic | A wild guess is that STP on br102 is doing something funny because I have a couple of routers there. | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | I love the sound quality . The card works well with drafon player (guess it uses phonon directly like amarok) , but vlc has to be used for didgital passthru for movir audio tracks like DD and DTS ...overall it works quite well if use file associations for different players , buty it would be nice if VLC could play everything | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | scuse the spelling errors :) | 14:35 |
| Tronic | ... but br102 and br100 stay functional, haven't had issues with them. Too bad that I didn't figure out to check the routing table previously. | 14:35 |
| Tronic | Nothing interesting on syslog. | 14:35 |
| BluesKaj | ikonia, does what come to life ? I've set the card driver as default in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf as per some tutorials I found ...the only problem i have is web flash audio | 14:56 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: sorry, I meant if you remove the card does the problem go away when played through the default sound device | 14:57 |
| BluesKaj | yes , ikonia , but I bought this card for sound qulaity which the onboard lacks in spades | 15:00 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: totally get that, I was just wondering the card was actually the issue with flash. | 15:02 |
| bjsnider | if you open the sound menu and check the applications tab when flash is playing something does it show that flash is playing audio? | 15:02 |
| BluesKaj | ikonia, oddly enough it plays flv files ok on the desktop with dragonplayer | 15:04 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: so it,s just flash or through vlc | 15:04 |
| BluesKaj | ikonia, it's just flash web audio content that I can't find a work around | 15:06 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: I wonder what the difference is in flash calling the sound card | 15:06 |
| bjsnider | BluesKaj, see question above | 15:07 |
| BluesKaj | if i "wget" downloadable flv files the audio is fine when played back with dragonplayer, bjsnider | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | bjsnider, sound menu ? | 15:09 |
| BluesKaj | bjsnider, i have youtube running a video , the page source/media tab," type" shows no audio just "images, icons and backgorund"" | 15:15 |
| BluesKaj | well, I'm gonna purge flash , and reinstall..doybt if it'll help ,but what the heck | 15:18 |
| bjsnider | BluesKaj, you should be able to bring up the sound menu using the volume control button | 15:40 |
| bjsnider | i am assuming you're using kde | 15:40 |
| bjsnider | it may look something like this: http://media.photobucket.com/image/kde%20sound%20menu/imageuser/PulseAudio_-_Volume_Control.jpg | 15:43 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 850467 in unity (Ubuntu) "[oneiric] Clicking the maximize/restore button for the dash window loses the keyboard focus" [Medium,Confirmed] | 18:40 |
| bbya | Saamm, i am new to unity, and clicking on the icons on the unity launcher does not toggle the maximize minimize action. Is that a bug? | 18:40 |
| bandit5432 | looks like there might be a fix for the unity bug on the 29 | 18:41 |
| bandit5432 | see https://launchpad.net/unity/+milestone/4.20.0 | 18:42 |
| bbya | genii-around, it worked!! :D ...Thanks a lot! Thank you. | 18:43 |
| genii-around | bbya: You're welcome. | 18:43 |
| Saamm | bandit5432, hi, this is a different bug...After minimizing a window, I cannot restore it on desktop by clicking on its icon on unity launcher | 18:44 |
| Saamm | bandit5432, the only way is to kill it and relaunch | 18:44 |
| bbya | Saamm, I have the same problem. | 18:44 |
| IdleOne | try alt-tab and see if that restores the window | 18:45 |
| ThomasBerends | Hi, how can I get Gnome 2 (classic desktop) @ Oneiric? | 18:45 |
| IdleOne | !notunity | 18:45 |
| ubottu | To 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. | 18:45 |
| bbya | IdleOne, alt-tab restores the window... but every once in a while, the restored window doesn't respond to mouse clicks. | 18:46 |
| ThomasBerends | IdleOne: Both aren't the original Gnome 2 :( | 18:46 |
| IdleOne | ThomasBerends: correct. | 18:46 |
| bandit5432 | ThomasBerends, you can install gnome and use fallback mode | 18:46 |
| IdleOne | gnome2 is dead/dying. | 18:46 |
| Saamm | bbya, yeah this is regression...everything was fine earlier | 18:46 |
| bbya | Saamm, how do I check my unity version? | 18:46 |
| bandit5432 | ThomasBerends, fallback mode is as close as you will get unless you move to xcfe | 18:46 |
| bbya | Saamm, I have unity 4.16.0 | 18:47 |
| bandit5432 | ThomasBerends, also to change things on the gnome panels now you have to hold down the alt key and click | 18:48 |
| bbya | Saamm, oh... I'll update and see if the problem persists | 18:48 |
| bandit5432 | ThomasBerends, see this link http://www.webupd8.org/2011/08/installing-using-classic-gnome-desktop.html | 18:48 |
| ThomasBerends | bandit5432 Hmm. then I choose for Unity.. waiting for Elementary Luna ;p | 18:48 |
| ThomasBerends | bandit5432 that didn't work.. | 18:49 |
| bandit5432 | ThomasBerends, i am in the same boat and not a happy camper | 18:49 |
| bandit5432 | ThomasBerends, working now on setting up everything with gnome3 under fallback mode and seeing if i can get close to gnome2 look and feal | 18:50 |
| ThomasBerends | bandit5432 Hard times.. also waiting for Elementary ? | 18:50 |
| Saamm | bbya, ok | 18:51 |
| bandit5432 | ThomasBerends, dont know i installed the elementary ppa and tried marlin which i like just waiting right now | 18:52 |
| bbya | (btw, when I press ctrl+alt+D, all windows gets minimized except the Google Chrome 14 window.) | 18:53 |
| ThomasBerends | bandit5432 nice, you should check also: Scratch & Beatbox | 18:53 |
| ThomasBerends | text editor & music player | 18:53 |
| === shiny_home is now known as sh1ny | ||
| bandit5432 | ThomasBerends, i use leafpad from xcfe already i really like it as a text editor have been using it for 2 years now | 18:54 |
| bandit5432 | will look into beatbox | 18:54 |
| bandit5432 | ThomasBerends, if you are a heavy nautilus user the new version is nothing like the old and you cannot change the icon in the toolbar unless you want to remove one of them | 18:57 |
| === bandit5432 is now known as bandit-away | ||
| ThomasBerends | bandit-away i just want marlin (a) | 18:58 |
| bandit-away | ThomasBerends, install it from the ppa it seems to work ok | 18:58 |
| ThomasBerends | bandit-away: first re-installing oneiric.. already messed it up :') | 18:59 |
| bandit-away | ThomasBerends, i am only running it in a vm for now | 18:59 |
| bandit-away | ThomasBerends, you probably already know how to install it but if not http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/elementary-file-browser-marlin-is-now.html | 19:00 |
| bandit-away | and now i am really away | 19:00 |
| bbya | Earlier I tried grabbing the screenshot of the active window using Alt+Printscreen, and it grabbed some portion outside the window (the shadow part)... this is how it looked http://i.imgur.com/04Znx.png ...is there a fix for this? | 19:01 |
| ThomasBerends | bandit-away: thanks, always handy (: | 19:01 |
| hasenj | um, in the bug reporting tool, it says: InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" | 19:03 |
| hasenj | what is that all about? | 19:03 |
| hasenj | That's just the OS that came by default with the machine | 19:04 |
| charlie-tca | Usually means you originally installed 10.04 and upgraded | 19:04 |
| hasenj | hm, ok | 19:05 |
| hasenj | I'm upgrading from 11.04 though | 19:05 |
| hasenj | I hope this doesn't cause misunderstandings .. | 19:05 |
| charlie-tca | It won't | 19:08 |
| charlie-tca | Bug people and developers are very good at reading the reports, and the only way to Oneiric is upgrade from 11.04 or fresh installation | 19:08 |
| Tronic | Okay, network disconnect happened again. Nothing strange with routes but the default gateway would not answer to ping. | 19:09 |
| bbya | *I meant fix for the screenshot bug, and not the upgrade stuff _in_ the screenshot... Unintended pun :P | 19:09 |
| charlie-tca | bbya: the shadow is part of the window | 19:10 |
| bbya | charlie-tca, but it makes the screenshot look "ugly". | 19:10 |
| charlie-tca | sorry | 19:10 |
| bbya | charlie-tca, this didn't happen in 10.04 | 19:11 |
| charlie-tca | it is still part of the window, so a screenshot of the window will include the shadow | 19:12 |
| charlie-tca | It did not happen in 10.04 because the windows did not shadows | 19:12 |
| ErickMoreno | Hi everyone | 19:14 |
| bbya | charlie-tca, but it surely is not a feature, is it? | 19:14 |
| ErickMoreno | someone noticed where we can adjust Unity settings in 11.10? | 19:14 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know of any way to turn them off to take a screenshot | 19:14 |
| ErickMoreno | compizconfig-settings-manager is installed but I can't run | 19:15 |
| ErickMoreno | or I did't found a way to run it | 19:15 |
| charlie-tca | ErickMoreno: it runs for me by opening a terminal and typing ccsm | 19:17 |
| ErickMoreno | thanks charlie-tca | 19:17 |
| charlie-tca | you are welcome | 19:17 |
| ErickMoreno | why it is not under system config? | 19:17 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know | 19:18 |
| ErickMoreno | thank you anyway :) | 19:19 |

| CyON | hook : if I go for dualboot what about the boot mbr i will add new entry to grub ? | 19:45 |
| h00k | CyON: that's covered in that wiki, /Dualboot/Windows. You'll have to recover the MBR from a live CD after you install Windows. Windows will take over the MBR on install. | 19:45 |
| h00k | CyON: also, note the 00s in h00k are zeroes, otherwise I don't get a hilight | 19:46 |

| jetsaredim | is there a way to cut down the number of workspaces? | 19:59 |
| jetsaredim | is that more a gnome question or ubuntu specific | 20:01 |
| jetsaredim | i can never tell if something is specific to ubuntu or not | 20:01 |
| Tophan | jetsaredim: install gnome3 | 20:04 |
| Tophan | :) | 20:04 |
| jetsaredim | does anyone even have a clue as to what i'm talking about? | 20:04 |
| jetsaredim | well - i thought gnome 3 wasn't totally supported | 20:04 |
| jetsaredim | last i heard it could cause your computer to implode | 20:05 |
| Tophan | oh, we are on ubuntu+1 | 20:05 |
| Tophan | yeah, I use 11.10 | 20:05 |
| Tophan | and I use gnome3 | 20:05 |
| Tophan | it works great | 20:05 |
| jetsaredim | for realz? | 20:05 |
| rww | GNOME 3 is supported on oneiric. GNOME 3 is not supported on 11.04. | 20:05 |
| rww | oneiric in fact uses GNOME 3 with Unity by default | 20:05 |
| jetsaredim | ah - maybe that's what i was thinking | 20:05 |
| jetsaredim | ic | 20:06 |
| Fen- | i like gnome3 | 20:06 |
| Fen- | :> | 20:06 |
| jetsaredim | does it make that much of a difference? | 20:06 |
| Tophan | yes! | 20:06 |
| jetsaredim | i mean - i could take or leave the unity crap | 20:06 |
| jetsaredim | doesn't bother me but i'm not terribly fond of it | 20:06 |
| Mamarok | I have a very strange problem: | 20:07 |
| jetsaredim | re gnome3 - do i need to sign away my firstborn or something or is there a guide? | 20:08 |
| Tophan | jetsaredim: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell | 20:08 |
| Tophan | thats it | 20:08 |
| jetsaredim | o - for realz? | 20:08 |
| ikonia | Mamarok: now I'm interested | 20:08 |
| Tophan | log out | 20:08 |
| jetsaredim | and then it just shows up in the login menu? | 20:08 |
| h00k | jetsaredim: Gnome 3 is already in use by Oneiric by default. | 20:08 |
| Tophan | change session | 20:08 |
| Tophan | log in | 20:08 |
| Tophan | I'm in love with gnome3 | 20:09 |
| jetsaredim | what are the other differences besides no stupid unity bar? | 20:09 |
| Mamarok | on every apt-get update run the packages install, then it goes to Setting up friendly-recovery and stays there for ages, the starts grub.cfg and that takes about 20 hours to complete | 20:09 |
| Tophan | gnome3.com | 20:09 |
| Tophan | and try for yourself | 20:09 |
| Tophan | you will see | 20:09 |
| Tophan | unity stays | 20:10 |
| Tophan | you can choose unity or gnome-shell at login | 20:10 |
| Mamarok | new laptop, dual boot installation, everything worked fine until about 3-4 days back | 20:10 |
| Mamarok | ikonia: ^ | 20:10 |
| jetsaredim | Tophan: is this what fedora uses? | 20:10 |
| Tophan | idk | 20:10 |
| ikonia | Mamarok: what happened ? | 20:10 |
| jetsaredim | i had installed that in a vm and thought it crap | 20:10 |
| jetsaredim | maybe this is slightly different | 20:10 |
| ikonia | Mamarok: what is friendly-recovery ? | 20:10 |
| h00k | jetsaredim: let me clarify. Gnome3 is in use by default. Gnome-shell is what Tophan is referring to, which is *still* gnome3, just uses gnome-shell and not unity. | 20:11 |
| Mamarok | ikonia: well, that I really don?t know, I didn't install or remove anything, just updates | 20:11 |
| jetsaredim | right | 20:11 |
| rww | !notunity | 20:11 |
| ubottu | To 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. | 20:11 |
| wenexx | hey | 20:11 |
| Mamarok | ikonia: apparently a package that allows easier recovery for a system, but I have never recovered anything here | 20:11 |
| bilygates | hey guys, any idea why compiz doesn't work in gnome fallback mode on startup? it works after "compiz --replace" in a terminal, though. | 20:11 |
| jetsaredim | so gnome-panel might be what i'm after | 20:11 |
| ikonia | Mamarok: sounds a mess, | 20:11 |
| jetsaredim | interesting | 20:11 |
| jetsaredim | i just don't want to divert too far from the main install | 20:12 |
| ikonia | Mamarok: I wonder if it failed to setup on install, so is trying to do that now | 20:12 |
| Mamarok | ikonia: well, I let it run through once over night, and it again does the same thing over and over again | 20:12 |
| ikonia | Mamarok: ok, so that theory is out the window | 20:12 |
