| DoYouKnow | hi. does pangolin have integrated firmware for bcm4312? | 01:47 |
|---|---|---|
| DoYouKnow | I think that's my card... it's under bcm4328, I think | 01:47 |
| DoYouKnow | there are ~2 names for it | 01:47 |
| pangolin | !broadcom | 01:59 |
| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 01:59 |
| pangolin | DoYouKnow: not sure if it is built in or not but the above info will help you get it working | 01:59 |
| TheBuntu | i found this command on http://www.thehosthelpers.com/general-chat/upgrade-ubuntu-11-10-to-12-04-today-1797/ ... is this a true upgrade? ... sudo sed -i s'/oneiric/precise/g' /etc/apt/sources.list .... sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --purge && sudo apt-get clean | 03:52 |
| pangolin | itwill "work: | 04:00 |
| pangolin | not recommended way to do it though | 04:00 |
| pangolin | err this keyboard needs to go | 04:01 |
| TheBuntu | so far 12.04 seems pretty good | 04:02 |
| TheBuntu | what wrong with the keyboard.. key going bad | 04:02 |
| pangolin | my space key | 04:03 |
| nonix4 | TheBuntu: hmm, I haven't yet got it working outside livecd, hitting too many bugs on the way... | 04:03 |
| TheBuntu | nonix4, i used that command i found on the web and upgraded 11.10. Works pretty good... | 04:04 |
| nonix4 | TheBuntu: hitting things that look like Bug #120375 symptoms reappearing for example... | 04:07 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 120375 in mdadm (Ubuntu Hardy) "cannot boot raid1 with only one disk" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/120375 | 04:07 |
| TheBuntu | nonix4, i don't have a raid so i guess thats why it went smooth for me | 04:13 |

| Sil4nc4 | hi why is the precise raw disk space 750MB? It does not fit on my cd i want to burn? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20120114/ | 17:24 |
| pangolin | Sil4nc4: the alpha iso's are sometimes over sized | 17:24 |
| Sil4nc4 | so ... | 17:25 |
| Sil4nc4 | nothing todo about it? | 17:25 |
| LjL | it says "Warning: This image is oversized (which is a bug) and will not fit onto a standard 700MiB CD. However, you may still test it using a DVD, a USB drive, or a virtual machine." | 17:25 |
| Sil4nc4 | ok | 17:25 |
| pangolin | those are your options ^ | 17:25 |
| Sil4nc4 | not about to waste a dvd | 17:25 |
| penguin42 | use a thumb drive | 17:26 |
| pangolin | go virtual :) | 17:26 |
| Sil4nc4 | cant | 17:26 |
| Sil4nc4 | will check usb | 17:26 |
| pangolin | well if none of those options are viable I'm afraid you are out of luck :/ | 17:26 |
| jtaylor | unfortunatly 750mb is a deliberate decision | 18:09 |
| jtaylor | no conincidental oversize | 18:09 |
| jtaylor | pangolin: ^ | 18:09 |
| pangolin | jtaylor: silly decision if Ubuntu is to be accessible to all human beings | 18:10 |
| LjL | yes, i read about that too | 18:10 |
| LjL | but i wasn't sure it was a final decision | 18:10 |
| jtaylor | its weird | 18:10 |
| pangolin | not everybody can afford DVD and not everybody can boot from USB | 18:10 |
| Ian_Corne | pangolin: maybe we should make it 3mb so it fits on a floppy? | 18:10 |
| pangolin | Ian_Corne: maybe you should not be so damn sarcastic and take into account the promise that was made 7 years ago by the founder. | 18:11 |
| LjL | +1 | 18:11 |
| Daekdroom | It was starting to get too difficult to fit an OS like Ubuntu in 700MiB | 18:11 |
| Ian_Corne | pangolin: there are cds that hold 750mb I think even | 18:11 |
| Daekdroom | And Ubuntu would hardly run in a computer that does not have a DVD drive yet. | 18:11 |
| Daekdroom | (Lubuntu, on the other hand) | 18:12 |
| Daekdroom | Up to 800MiB, Ian_Corne | 18:12 |
| Ian_Corne | 700mb was the lcd of all cds | 18:12 |
| Ian_Corne | so it's still possible | 18:12 |
| Ian_Corne | can you still request a free cd? | 18:12 |
| LjL | no | 18:12 |
| pangolin | Ian_Corne: the point i am trying to make is that the people ubuntu is trying to reach ( not so much anymore i think) are the people who can't afford the larger format cd/dvd/usb | 18:12 |
| Daekdroom | I don't see a problem there as long as Xubuntu and Lubuntu still ship in 700MiB, really. | 18:13 |
| pangolin | anyway, it is not an issue for me but it is for millions of potential users. | 18:13 |
| LjL | well then i don't "see a problem" as long as some other distro ships in 700MB, for that matter | 18:14 |
| LjL | people will just switch to it, fine, good riddance | 18:14 |
| pangolin | I am glad my tattoo has more meaning to me than just being an Ubuntu lover. | 18:15 |
| pangolin | Because if this trend continues I am not sure how much more i can advocate for Ubuntu. :/ | 18:15 |
| LjL | at least it's a feeling shared with a few other people, so you know it's not just you. | 18:16 |
| pangolin | LjL: it makes me sad though | 18:17 |
| Sil4nc4 | for me the problem is not the size, but i did not have my usb or a blank dvd disk @ hand | 18:18 |
| LjL | which means it is the size, doesn't it? | 18:18 |
| Sil4nc4 | and since i only had 700Mb CD's to put it on for the moment | 18:18 |
| Sil4nc4 | / had / have | 18:19 |
| pangolin | Sil4nc4: right, now Imagine you did not have the ability to get a usb or dvd | 18:19 |
| LjL | i've used Ubuntu for ages without having a DVD drive | 18:19 |
| pangolin | you would be out of luck and might go looking for a different distro | 18:19 |
| Sil4nc4 | well then i need to wait untill it fits that format no? Or switch to another distro or OS | 18:19 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu can be installed from the ISO in a partition using grub | 18:20 |
| pangolin | Sil4nc4: apparently it will not be fitting on 700mb any longer | 18:20 |
| Sil4nc4 | good to know | 18:20 |
| pangolin | urlin2u: how accessible is that to the new user? | 18:20 |
| pangolin | we are supposed to make linux easy... | 18:20 |
| Sil4nc4 | i never check ISO anymore, since I use to boot them using PXE or USB but that is not the case. | 18:21 |
| pangolin | This is an argument I am really not in the mood for. I am not happy with the current direction Canonical is taking Ubuntu in is all. | 18:21 |
| Daekdroom | What about shipping in 2CDs? | 18:21 |
| Sil4nc4 | for most new people that could be an iso | 18:21 |
| urlin2u | pangolin, every release fits on a cd though, it is not a perfect world where everybodies needs are served in the end | 18:21 |
| Sil4nc4 | issue | 18:21 |
| Daekdroom | urlin2u, the ISO size limit was increased to 750MiB for the 12.04 final release. I don't get what you're saying. | 18:22 |
| Sil4nc4 | once installed one can download the software using the USC | 18:22 |
| Daekdroom | Sil4nc4, nope. Some people don't have good enough internet connection. | 18:23 |
| Sil4nc4 | point | 18:23 |
| Daekdroom | It's a issue as big as the CD thing. | 18:23 |
| Daekdroom | Which is why I don't mind the 750MiB ISO | 18:23 |
| urlin2u | Daekdroom, I didn't know that, I can't get it to run anyway every daily crashes, on my computer. | 18:23 |
| pangolin | try the alternate install | 18:24 |
| pangolin | desktop does that for me also | 18:24 |
| urlin2u | pangolin, gets to the desktop, but crashes there, I have gotten it installed 4-5 times, crashed after update upgrade, ran great when I updated to it right at the beginning though. | 18:25 |
| penguin42 | urlin2u: Probably worth trying to get some logs to find out why | 18:27 |
| urlin2u | penguin42, nah I generally load the pre-releases, but just use them out of curiosity, no biggie. | 18:29 |
| penguin42 | urlin2u: Thing is it might not get fixed for the release if you don't report it and give the info to help figure out why | 18:29 |
| penguin42 | urlin2u: SInce it doesn't happen for everyone it might not be happening for the devs | 18:30 |
| urlin2u | penguin42, I have a pretty generic setup a acer d250 netbook no extra drivers needed I suspect it will be fixed. | 18:30 |
| penguin42 | urlin2u: Well I hope all the acer d250 owners don't think the same way! | 18:31 |
| FernandoMiguel | hey | 18:34 |
| yofel | hm, did firefox suddenly switch to gtk3? It's not using my gtk2 theme anymore | 18:44 |
| Daekdroom | yofel, it depends on libgtk2.0-0 according to 'apt-cache showpkg firefox' | 18:48 |
| yofel | yeah, which is why I'm confused | 18:48 |
| yofel | or it's just ignoring my kde color scheme settings - while thunderbird works fine | 18:49 |
| yofel | seems to just be the color settings | 18:49 |
| Sil4nc4 | precise not good for testing live cd function, since it succeeds in disabling my bluetooth keyboard @ a certain time in the boot process | 18:51 |
| penguin42 | Sil4nc4: That's a perfect test! File it! | 18:51 |
| Sil4nc4 | will do | 18:52 |
| penguin42 | yofel: Still seems to have libgtk-x11-2.0 and stuff from gtk-2.0/ mapped in my instance here | 18:54 |
| yofel | yeah, looks like it does use oxygen-gtk2 here, just for some reason ignores the colorscheme setting | 18:55 |
| penguin42 | yofel: oxygen-gtk freeks some stuff out | 18:55 |
| yofel | still, this worked when I last started firefox like 3 days ago | 18:56 |
| penguin42 | yofel: Do you ever use gnucash ? | 18:58 |
| yofel | nope | 18:58 |
| penguin42 | yofel: I get flickering of the menus under KDE, not figured out if it's oxygen-gtk yet | 18:59 |
| coz_ | hey guys, any easy way to update from natty? | 19:02 |
| BluesKaj | coz_, do you have a /home partition ? | 19:03 |
| coz_ | BluesKaj, well I generally just let ubuntu partition by defaults | 19:03 |
| coz_ | BluesKaj, how is kde on 12.04? | 19:04 |
| varikonniemi | easy? | 19:04 |
| varikonniemi | update manager should update to 11.10, no idea how to get to +1 | 19:04 |
| coz_ | I can probably just download the alternate and let it update yes? | 19:04 |
| varikonniemi | i installed the daily build in my virtualbox and it seems to be working fine. | 19:06 |
| varikonniemi | this is great news since 12.04 alpha was buggy beyond usable | 19:06 |
| coz_ | varikonniemi, cool, I will try alternate update see if that works | 19:06 |
| varikonniemi | ? | 19:06 |
| coz_ | BluesKaj, I am curious about kde on 12.04 :) | 19:06 |
| varikonniemi | coz_, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 19:07 |
| coz_ | varikonniemi, I believe, if memory serves, the alternate cd should allow an update from either synaptic or software center I beleive | 19:08 |
| varikonniemi | then update-manager -d | 19:08 |
| BluesKaj | coz_, , then there are 2 methods , sudo do-release-upgrade -d to 11.0 then again to 12.04 , or burn a daily 12.04 build to media and make 2 partitions , a / partiton beside a /home . The /home partition contains all you present data as long as you don't format it | 19:08 |
| coz_ | BluesKaj, ok understood,, I may just go with the daily build clean install then | 19:08 |
| BluesKaj | oops drop the -d | 19:08 |
| BluesKaj | , use -d when you upgrade from 11,.10 | 19:09 |
| coz_ | BluesKaj, how is KDE? | 19:09 |
| varikonniemi | is do-release-upgrade same as update-manager -d ? | 19:09 |
| BluesKaj | seems fine so far , just a few small prbs with permissions | 19:09 |
| coz_ | BluesKaj, ok cool, I may give that a try then | 19:10 |
| BluesKaj | varikonniemi, it is but " -d " signifies upgrading to a development release like 12.04 | 19:10 |
| varikonniemi | you are just asking for trouble if you install +1 on normal system | 19:10 |
| coz_ | varikonniemi, i dont mind the trouble | 19:11 |
| BluesKaj | coz_, which method are you going to use ? | 19:11 |
| varikonniemi | BluesKaj, all the guides i see have -d | 19:11 |
| varikonniemi | and they are guides to go from 11.04 to 11.10 | 19:11 |
| varikonniemi | not development? | 19:11 |
| coz_ | BluesKaj, I think i will just download the daily build and clean install | 19:11 |
| BluesKaj | that's for upgrading to an alpha or beta release , varikonniemi | 19:12 |
| coz_ | BluesKaj, I am interested in how KDE is going to be for 12.04,, | 19:12 |
| BluesKaj | coz_, good choice | 19:12 |
| coz_ | I have always directed people to clean install over upgrading anyway | 19:13 |
| BluesKaj | varikonniemi, check the guides , they might be outdated , because if you're 11.04 and try do-release-upgrade -d , you'll find that you're upgrading 12.04 not 11.10 ,then you can expects alot of problems | 19:14 |
| BluesKaj | upgrading to 12.04 | 19:14 |
| coz_ | ^^^ | 19:14 |
| BluesKaj | 11.04 to 11.10 the command is: sudo do-release-upgrade | 19:16 |
| coz_ | varikonniemi, I have always suggested clean installs ,, even for daily builds, because ubuntu upgrades are consistently inconsistent | 19:16 |
| udog | hi all, trying to install precise on a netbook, it hangs and stops on copying files | 19:16 |
| udog | is there a way to fix that | 19:17 |
| udog | ? | 19:17 |
| coz_ | udog, not sure,, I am just now trying 12.04 install | 19:17 |
| coz_ | udog, I assume the drive is not full,,,yes? | 19:18 |
| udog | right | 19:18 |
| udog | i've installed oneiric instaed without any trouble | 19:18 |
| coz_ | udog, mm I dont have a netbood available here even to test this | 19:18 |
| BluesKaj | coz_, I just installed the 12.04 daily build about an hour ago and all went well | 19:18 |
| coz_ | udog, unless there are some issues at this stage with installing to netbook | 19:19 |
| udog | seems like ubiquity crashes on copying files, after partitioning | 19:19 |
| coz_ | BluesKaj, excellent ! | 19:19 |
| varikonniemi | i have always done a clean install when upgrading os's | 19:19 |
| varikonniemi | both under windows and under ubuntu | 19:19 |
| udog | 'cause the window freeze | 19:19 |
| coz_ | udog, that might possibly be a bug at this stage,, but I am not sure | 19:19 |
| coz_ | varikonniemi, excellent thinking :) | 19:19 |
| varikonniemi | my parents computers though i have just done upgrade | 19:19 |
| varikonniemi | and they are working fine | 19:19 |
| BluesKaj | i ususally install the OS to / , and keep the data on the /home partition | 19:20 |
| varikonniemi | i have only / and swap on all my computers | 19:20 |
| coz_ | varikonniemi, that's good news,, but I simply dont trust upgrades,,, over the years I have found , particularly ubuntu, upgrades are not consistent | 19:20 |
| varikonniemi | well i have only experience with 2 computers from 11.04 to 11.10 | 19:20 |
| coz_ | varikonniemi, understood,,, I have been at this since ubuntu started ,, | 19:21 |
| varikonniemi | :) | 19:21 |
| coz_ | varikonniemi, before that BeOs and RedHat | 19:21 |
| udog | coz_, what if i try to upgrade from oneiric? | 19:21 |
| varikonniemi | redhat is no longer | 19:21 |
| coz_ | udog, that might work | 19:21 |
| udog | a big boom, maybe? | 19:21 |
| * BluesKaj has too much media to do clean installs ...I will be doing them shortly after I install an NAS box | 19:21 | |
| coz_ | udog, :) I dont think so | 19:22 |
| udog | coz_, thank you | 19:22 |
| varikonniemi | i did try every ubuntu from 8 forwards, and 11.04 was the one that sold linux to me | 19:22 |
| udog | i'll try that way | 19:22 |
| coz_ | BluesKaj, yeah that I understand,, but I have learned from past that backups are important for me because I can be a real "doof" at times :) | 19:22 |
| coz_ | varikonniemi, excellent :) | 19:22 |
| varikonniemi | i briefly used 10.10 but it just felt ancient | 19:23 |
| coz_ | udog, let us know how that goes,, i am certainly interested to know | 19:23 |
| coz_ | varikonniemi, i didnt not like 10.10 much ,, I think I went back to 10.04 at that point | 19:23 |
| udog | coz_, as soon i'll be back to tell | 19:24 |
| BluesKaj | coz i did a clean install to 11.10 totally , but backing 300G worth of media was a time consuming chore, since i had to do it between 2 other pcs | 19:24 |
| coz_ | udog, cool thanks | 19:24 |
| imnichol | Alright, I'm trying to report a bug, but launchpad keeps marking it as a duplicate of a private bug | 19:24 |
| varikonniemi | BluesKaj, don't you have OS disk separate? | 19:24 |
| imnichol | How the hell am I supposed to contribute if I can't even see the bug that I"m supposed to comment on? | 19:24 |
| coz_ | BluesKaj, I understand for sure.. I know guys like you with that much to back up is a PITA | 19:24 |

| imnichol | jbicha, It's marked as expired, should I mark it as something else? | 19:28 |
| coz_ | imnichol, I do see that bug as being markes from private to public | 19:29 |
| coz_ | marked | 19:29 |
| imnichol | coz_, That just happened a few seconds ago. | 19:30 |
| coz_ | ah ok | 19:30 |
| imnichol | But it's assigned to no one and is marked as expired, which is obviously not good | 19:30 |
| jbicha | imnichol: it's expired because there wasn't enough information to do anything with the bug, if you can add more info, you're welcome to reopen it | 19:30 |
| imnichol | jbicha, what should I reopen it as? | 19:31 |
| jbicha | just change the status back to new or confirmed | 19:31 |
| imnichol | Ok. | 19:31 |
| imnichol | Thank you both, jbicha, coz_ | 19:31 |
| coz_ | imnichol, no problem although jbicha was far more helpful :) | 19:32 |
| imnichol | So now what do I do in order to get it noticed by someone since it's currently unassigned? | 19:33 |
| penguin42 | imnichol: didrocks asked for a file - but you didn't supply it | 19:34 |

| BluesKaj | I was hoping to find a differnt source for libdvdcss2 other than the restricted-extras/formats , any ideas ? | 20:07 |
| BluesKaj | restricted draws down too much unecessary junk | 20:08 |
| BluesKaj | unecessary=outdated | 20:09 |
| trism | BluesKaj: just install libdvdread4? | 20:14 |
| BluesKaj | trism, libdvdcss2 isn't included in libdvdread 4 according to the description in synaptic | 20:22 |
| BluesKaj | trism, i followed the commands here and it worked , guess it's a backdoor to medibuntu. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 20:28 |
| trism | BluesKaj: that package has the install-css.sh script | 20:41 |
| BluesKaj | yup | 20:42 |
| BluesKaj | should work tho | 20:42 |
