[13:41] <nonix4> How do I get an useful stack trace out of grub2? Bug #916435 is kinda hard to figure out without one...
[13:41] <ubot4`> Launchpad bug 916435 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "grub-setup crashed with SEGV in __libc_start_main() (affects: 1) (heat: 10)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/916435
[13:50] <Ampelbein> nonix4: There are debug symbol ddebs available, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash#Debug_Symbol_Packages and install grub-pc-dbgsym
[13:54] <Ampelbein> Hmm, or not. Seems the debug symbol generation is broken currently for grub2 in precise.
[14:13] <penguin42> could strace/ltrace it or manually build it with -g and see if you can recreate it
[19:31] <ali1234> i'm trying to test the unity from oneiric-proposed but it wants to remove 135 packages including ubuntu-desktop
[19:31] <ali1234> i followed these instructions https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed
[19:33] <EvilResistance> ali1234:  sounds like the evil precise version
[19:33] <ali1234> nope
[19:34] <EvilResistance> i say that because i saw that error mentioned twice in custom u+1 installs
[19:34] <ali1234> i need to tell aptitude to install unity and unity-common at the same time, otherwise it tries to resolve the dependency mismatch between them by removing the other one and everything that depends on it
[19:34] <ali1234> which in this case means ubuntu-desktop
[19:34] <ali1234> and anything that depends on a window manager
[19:36] <ali1234> right let's try it then...
