guiriHi.  The installer finished without configuring the user.  it boots to  a guest account.  i tried root and admin as the system password, but neither worked.  is there a way to create a default administrative user?05:06
guiriI guess I'll have to reinstall since rescue mode tries too.  the entire thing boots fine except for the lack of any user other than 'guest'05:14

Airon90Hi you all, I have a problem with Precise: Ubuntu doesn't recognize my mic anymore. Could someone help me in fixing it?09:31
=== kholerabbi is now known as kholerabbi|away
icerootAiron90: is alsamixer showing it?09:40
Airon90iceroot: I just checked alsamixer and it recognized the mic but the level was set to 0. Fixed, it was f***ing easy :D09:45
Airon90Thank you :)09:45
ActionParsnipHas anyone had their whole gui threaten to be uninstalled?09:45
Airon90Now I will test the camera I bought years ago :D09:45
ActionParsnipSeems there is an smb dep (lubuntu) and gvfs dep (ubuntu) which removed the gui apps from 2 installs when I ran apt-get autoremove. Bugs reported09:48

aquariuser. I'm doing a dist-upgrade to get the latest stuff in precise, and I've jsut noticed that it's removing ubuntu-desktop...?10:22
micahgaquarius: yes, fixes are being built now10:24
aquariusmicahg, ok. So... I should not reboot right now, yes?10:25
aquarius:)(10:25
=== doko_ is now known as doko
micahgaquarius: as long as you didn't actually uninstall everything, I think it should be ok, but you should have new binaries within an hour (at least on the main archive) that should not do bad stuff like that10:26
aquariusmicahg, cool. I'll hold on for a couple of hours and upgrade again :)10:28
micahgaquarius: thanks, please let us know if there are any more issues10:28
micahgaquarius: can you switch to the main archive mirror and try updating to see if the issue is resolved?10:36
micahgaquarius: assuming you're on amd64/i38610:36
micahgaquarius: nevermind, I can actually test that myself10:37
aquariusmicahg, k10:45
micahgaquarius: it's not published yet, so hold off :)10:45
* aquarius holds off :)10:47

sskalnikIs there a better way to get an updated version of the daily build than re-downloading the  image every day?15:39
edgysskalnik: zsync15:40
edgyBluesKaj: hi15:40
sskalnikCool15:40
* edgy wonders how people are living on earth and don't know about zsync/rsync15:41
BluesKajhi edgy, sskalnik15:42
edgycan any one help me boot my precise after latest updates15:42
edgyHi, after latest updates I couldn't boot my precise which is a guest in kvm. Now, to debug, I wanted to display grub, I tried shift key but it doesn't display grub menu, I need help15:42
BluesKajedgy, I've only heard of it , and know very little about it15:43
edgyBluesKaj: you just do zsync -i oldimage url and it will sync the differences only15:43
BluesKajedgy, hold the shift key down immediately after the bios scrn , not before15:43
edgyBluesKaj: I tried but nothing happens, the bios in the virtual machine is a virtual one I guess, so this could be a difference?15:45
BluesKajyes '15:45
edgyBluesKaj: did you manage to display grub in a guest machine before?15:45
sskalnikedgy:  A noob is me, that's why. Actually going with jigdo right now.15:47
BluesKajyes but I didn't need to use the shift key15:47
edgyBluesKaj: actually, I wonder why grub is not displayed by default, there is already more than one kernel16:27
BluesKajedgy, do you have auto login turned on16:29
edgyBluesKaj: no16:29
BluesKajwhich OS is the host and which is the guest?16:30
edgysskalnik: gido is good but AFAIK zsync development is active where jigdo stopped development16:33
edgyBluesKaj: both precise16:33
sskalnikedgy:  Correct afaik16:33
sskalnikedgy:  Any advantage of one over the other for mundane use?16:34
=== max is now known as Visionaire
edgysskalnik: I don't know but better be in the safe side16:35
edgysskalnik: I can't even find jigdo files for ubuntu precise, where did you get them?16:36
=== ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu+1 to: Discussion and support for Precise Pangolin | Release schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule | Oneiric Support in #ubuntu | Alpha 1 Released! http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/precise/alpha1
sskalnikedgy:  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/16:37
edgysskalnik: good but you won't find it for http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/16:38
sskalnikI actually went with jigdo because the files were right next to the daily ISOs. Path of least resistance. I'll look at zsync, though, on your recommendation; I do enjoy rsync, so I imagine there's some similarity.16:38
sskalnikedgy:  True, but in this case server is what I'm working with16:39
kelevrinikahey someone just directed me here16:40
edgysskalnik: then it's not a big issue16:40
sskalnikedgy:  Indeed16:40
kelevrinikaare we gonna have better fallback/gnome 2 support in the next release?16:40
kelevrinikai miss the old menus16:41
DaekdroomThere is no "support" for fallback gnome.16:41
sskalnikHrm, zsync does seem simpler than jigdo now that I read up on it. I will use that next time. Thanks for the advice.16:42
kelevrinikado you mean that there will be no fallback?16:53
kelevrinikayour statement seems sarcastic which makes me think you didn't really answer my question.16:55
sskalnikkelevrinika:  Daekdroom is probably not being sarcastic. The question was answered; no support for fallback gnome.16:57

bjsnidergnome-session-fallback is being phased out upstream because they've got llvmpipe able to do software rendering of gnome-shell17:03
bjsniderit was always intended as a temporary situation17:03
edgysirs, I am getting a black screen with blue ribbons when I try to boot PP after latest updates, any help?17:06
kelevrinikaindeed, thank you17:07
bjsnideri wouldn't expect any changes in gnome-session-fallback at all. it will just be like it is and then one day disappear17:08
sskalnikedgy:  PP?17:08
sskalnikedgy:  Oh, nvm17:08
edgysskalnik: precise pangolin17:08
bjsniderthat's a new feature. it's a blue ribbon distro17:09
sskalnikedgy:  Right, took me a second. XD What was updated?17:09
edgysskalnik: nvm means what?17:09
sskalnikedgy:  'nevermind'17:09
edgysskalnik: ;)17:09
sskalnikLooks like we both learned something new17:09
sskalnikBut yes, on the subject of the error you're seeing, I'd check the list of what was upgraded.17:10
edgysskalnik: I guess it's a problem with kdm, can someone confirm?17:11
sskalnikNothing in the bug tracker17:14
sskalnikChecked the kdm log?17:14
edgysskalnik: I am now installing lxdm to check17:15
edgysskalnik: I couldn't even launch grub so as to access grub menu recovery and check17:15
BluesKajedgy why are you running 2, 12.04 OSes?17:55
edgyBluesKaj: I was testing making my main desktop a guest18:27
edgyso I migrated all my host settings and data to a guest18:28
BluesKajso you were just logged in as a guest user , you're not running 2 OSes18:30
edgyBluesKaj: I am running 2 OSes really, my host is precise and I installed another precise in a kvm machine and booting it every time to test the new env18:32
edgyBluesKaj: e.g my host has a hybrid graphics ATI/Intel which is not supported in linux18:33
BluesKajheh , I'm just running 12.04 here and testing as is , and so far so good18:33
edgyBluesKaj: so the guest gives me better support for graphics because the emulated hda performs better18:33
edgyBluesKaj: did you do an update and dist-upgrade today? are you using kubuntu?18:34
BluesKajedgy, yes and yes :)18:34
BluesKajand yes :)18:34
edgyBluesKaj: strange! somehow I lost kde18:35
edgyBluesKaj: did you test the shift key with a guest?18:35
edgyBluesKaj: please do me a favor and test it, it would be a good experience18:38

zleapin 11.04 if i use ctrl-alt num pad it resizes windows20:02
zleapon 11.10 this does not seem to happen,  so was wondering if this happened in 12.0420:03
* zleap is just booting in to 12.04 from cd to have a look20:04
genii-aroundzleap: The ctrl-alt-<numpad +/numpad - > should still work to cycle through available resolutions. it's possible that the video driver only sees one available resolution at the moment however20:04
zleapthis isn't resoultion,20:06
zleapthe combination resizes application windows20:06
zleape.g ctrl-alt-num 6 puts this xchat window in the right had side of the screen, 5 puts it full screen and 4 would put it on the left20:07
zleapit may be a bug,  according to https://launchpad.net/bugs/89236820:16
