| kpennalt | Hello, I'm having an issue with the alpha release of 12.04, and I was wondering if this is the right place to ask for help? | 03:47 |
|---|---|---|
| EvilResistance | i told you in #u-motu, this is | 03:48 |
| EvilResistance | read the topic | 03:48 |
| EvilResistance | "Discussion and support for Precise Pangolin" | 03:48 |
| EvilResistance | aka 12.04 | 03:48 |
| kpennalt | do i just jump right in with the description? | 03:48 |
| EvilResistance | which is in alpha | 03:48 |
| EvilResistance | !ask | 03:48 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 03:48 |
| EvilResistance | ^ | 03:48 |
| kpennalt | When i login, nothing loads on the desktop except nautilus | 03:49 |
| kpennalt | I tried to see if the issue had been fixed with an update | 03:49 |
| kpennalt | by doing "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" in recovery mode | 03:50 |
| kpennalt | but network manager isn't connecting to my ethernet connection automatically | 03:50 |
| * EvilResistance points out those are both separate bugs, one with network manager, one with nautilus/unity/gdm/whatever | 03:53 | |
| * chmac just survived a Compiz crash by ctrl-alt-f1ing to a terminal, killing compiz, and ctrl-alt-f7ing back | 14:07 | |
| * chmac feels quite proud of himself! | 14:07 | |
| ts2 | this is one is the reasons one should always have a terminal emulator open at all times | 14:11 |
| chmac | ts2: Is a terminal emulator different than gnome-terminal? | 15:07 |
| chmac | ts2: The most recent issue I had was the entire screen freezing, so in that case, ctrl-alt-f1 was my only option. :-) | 15:07 |
| ts2 | "terminal emulator" is the generic name for any program which acts like a terminal | 15:08 |
| ts2 | gnome-terminal is a terminal emulator, but so is xterm, konsole, etc | 15:08 |
| chmac | ts2: Ok, I thought that, but wasn't certain of the terminology. I also always have a terminal emulator open, it's just plain useful. :-) | 15:09 |
| ts2 | I use yakuake, useful when you don't want to clutter the taskbar thing | 15:11 |
| ts2 | tilda and guake do the same thing in a gnome environment | 15:12 |
| chmac | Interesting, I leave gnome-terminal running all the time, usually multiple on multiple workspaces. I've never considered "sl/hiding" it. | 15:16 |
| EvilResistance | ts2: +1 to that | 15:16 |
| ts2 | especially when you're doing things where you may want to be reading something and typing on the command line, being able to quickly (and easily) show/hide the terminal is useful | 15:18 |
| ts2 | or just if I'm just not using the terminal, I don't need to see it | 15:18 |
| pangolin | guake is awesome | 15:18 |
| EvilResistance | yeah, there was an #ubuntu-classroom session on it, i was like "GIMME GIMME GIMME" by the end of the session... been using it ever since :P | 15:25 |

| alex_mayorga | Setting up xdiagnose (2.0) ... | 17:35 |
| alex_mayorga | SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xdiagnose/welcome.py', 277, 28, ' xorg_backup_dir = $(mktemp -d -t ${xorg_backup_name}.XXX)\n')) | 17:35 |
| Ian_Corne | fix it! | 17:35 |
| alex_mayorga | No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure. | 17:36 |
| alex_mayorga | Ian_Corne: something more specific? | 17:36 |
| Ian_Corne | not really | 17:37 |
| alex_mayorga | bug 914833 it seems | 17:38 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 914836 in xdiagnose (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #914833 package xdiagnose 2.0 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 101" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/914836 | 17:38 |
| alex_mayorga | supposedly fixed on 2.1, but that doesn't seem to be available yet | 17:39 |
| Ian_Corne | you could swap to the main mirror for this update | 17:39 |
| alex_mayorga | Ian_Corne: I already use the "Main server" but still nothing | 17:41 |
| alex_mayorga | ubottu: xdiagnose | 17:41 |
| trism | alex_mayorga: replace line 277 with: xorg_backup_dir = "/tmp" and then sudo apt-get -f install; or just grab the latest version here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+package/xdiagnose | 17:44 |
| trism | alex_mayorga: that's the fix in 2.1 | 17:44 |
| Ian_Corne | what does the dot operator do in python? | 17:45 |
| trism | alex_mayorga: oh in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xdiagnose/welcome.py I mean | 17:45 |
| Ian_Corne | append string? | 17:45 |
| Ian_Corne | or what is .XXX supposed to do? | 17:46 |
| trism | Ian_Corne: string concat is just + in python | 17:46 |
| Ian_Corne | on a string.. | 17:46 |
| trism | Ian_Corne: the issue is that the person who made the change doesn't understand python and used bash syntax | 17:46 |
| Ian_Corne | ah ok | 17:46 |
| alex_mayorga | trism: thanks | 18:11 |
| alex_mayorga | just tried dist-upgrade once more time and now is there | 18:13 |
| alex_mayorga | Seems like I'm good now | 18:14 |
| * alex_mayorga reboots and hopes for the best | 18:14 | |
| alex_mayorga | I'm back, thanks all | 18:33 |
| hackel | Anyone managed to install 12.04 on a MacBook? Install went fine, but on first boot it's freezing for me after grub. | 18:40 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 914926 in debian-installer (Ubuntu) "no loop module - alternate-amd64.iso current precise" [Undecided,New] | 21:02 |
| gerth | Is there no loop.ko file in Ubuntu 12.04? | 21:03 |
| gerth | lib/modules/3.2.0-8-generic/kernel/drivers/block/loop.ko | 21:04 |
| gerth | Can somebody check if the loop.ko file exists? | 21:05 |
| trism | gerth: the module is compiled in: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y | 21:41 |
| gerth | trism: Is this in the default kernel package or not? | 21:57 |
| trism | gerth: from /boot/config-3.2.0-8-generic | 22:03 |
| gerth | trism: I mean, is it compiled by default? | 22:05 |
| trism | gerth: not sure I understand, it is compiled into the kernel, not built separately as a module (not sure why you get that error, but I don't know much about the debian-installer) | 22:09 |
| gerth | trism: thanks for the explanation | 22:10 |
