[00:16] <snadge> openssh needs to be 20x faster? would never have guessed
[01:54] <atruno> is pangolin impressive ?
[01:55] <bazhang> yes
[01:57] <atruno> thanks
[02:43] <snadge> oh man.. i loled
[02:44] <snadge> im running it though.. me likey.. pro tip though, can we be a bit more snappy about including fglrx-updates ?
[02:44] <snadge> i thought fglrx-updates.. meant that it was actually updated ;)
[02:44] <snadge> we shouldn't have to add the edgers repo.. or *gasp*.. download it from amd
[02:44] <snadge> and the latest catalyst is massively improved
[02:45] <snadge> yeah i know.. the only two reasons to do it are oil rush and minecraft
[02:45] <snadge> but they're great games
[02:59] <Ben64> My wifi speed limited to ~150K/s, anything I can do?
[03:04] <snadge> yes.. use an ethernet cable ;)
[03:04] <snadge> turn off encryption
[03:04] <snadge> try a different operating system
[03:05] <snadge> improve the signal strength by physically moving.. replacing the wifi adaptor and/or wireless router
[03:05] <Ben64> encryption is off
[03:05] <Ben64> this is ubuntu channel :|
[03:05] <Ben64> it worked faster on 10.04
[03:06] <snadge> ahh okay this information is useful
[03:06] <snadge> have you tried 11.10?
[03:06] <snadge> i guess it would help to identify when the regression in performance was introduced
[03:07] <Ben64> i guess i could try livecds
[03:07] <snadge> or usb
[03:07] <Ben64> who would i bring this to once i figure out when it started
[03:08] <snadge> umm.. well im not really an ubuntu dev.. but my guess would be you would possibly submit a bug against the kernel package
[03:08] <Ben64> hmm
[03:43] <imnichol> Is anyone able to use the U1MS with Rhythmbox, or is that functionality just not added yet?
[07:15] <snadge> anyone use sflphone here?
[07:28] <psypher246> gooday all, anyone else been downed to unity-2d since last update, using the default nouveau driver
[10:44] <richard_> Is Unity mandatory in 12.04?
[10:45] <jokerdino> what do you mean by mandatory?
[10:45] <pangolin> richard_: Unity is the default UI
[10:46] <richard_> can I use GNOME instead?
[10:46] <pangolin> !notunity
[10:46] <pangolin> yes.
[10:46] <richard_> without having to crack open my system with a spanner
[10:46] <pangolin> you may want to upgrade your flux capacitors
[10:46] <pangolin> but that is optional
[10:47] <richard_> I think I want GNOME 2
[10:47] <richard_> It works for me
[10:48] <rigved> richard_: like pangolin said, use GNOME fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2
[10:48] <richard_>  what does similar mean?
[10:48] <richard_> Is it GNOME 2?
[10:49] <pangolin> no
[10:49] <pangolin> gnome2 is no longer being developed
[10:50] <rigved> richard_: it looks like Gnome 2. it has Gnome 2 like menu
[10:50] <pangolin> gnome-fall back looks like gnome2 but with some differences
[10:54] <rigved> richard_: there is also the cinnamon desktop environment. it is an attempt to re-create gnome 2 environment using gnome 3 technologies. but it is not officially available in the repos. see this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/cinnamon-project-keeps-gnome-2-style-desktop-alive/
[10:54] <rigved> cinnamon is not officially supported in ubuntu
[10:54] <richard_> ok
[11:14] <psypher246> gooday all, anyone else been downed to unity-2d since last update, using the default nouveau driver
[11:14] <psypher246> although I must say unity-2d is looking way better than in natty
[14:51] <jo-erlend> this new look in Nautilus... It's not supposed to be that way, I hope?
[15:10] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[18:12] <blizzow> Anyone here having difficulty starting xorg?
[18:13] <blizzow> Mine only seems to start about 50% of the time.
[18:13] <blizzow> It looks like /var/log/xorg.failsafe.log has nothing of value in it.
[18:13] <blizzow> I've tried sudo init 3 to drop out to a regular prompt, but even that isn't working.
[18:14] <blizzow> I can't even get to a vty to diagnose and I have to ssh or vnc into the box to do anything.
[18:14] <blizzow> Sometimes doing a system update fixes the issue for a couple of boot cycles.
[18:16] <blizzow> oh, and if xorg comes up, icons only show up as little white squares until I log out and log back in again.  Then they'll show up.
[18:35] <rigved> blizzow: i do not know how to help you with your problem but i would like to point out that Ubuntu uses Upstart, not the SysV Init system. So, there is no way to get to init 3. only init 1, 0 and 6 are possible, afaik.
[18:40] <Ian_Corne> what opens pngs?
[18:40] <Ian_Corne> it's not working atm :p
[18:50] <gnomefreak> image viewer?
[18:51] <Ian_Corne> it doesn't function, what's it's executable?
[18:51] <Ian_Corne> okular works
[18:51] <rigved> Ian_Corne: try using the terminal: xdg-open file-name.png
[18:51] <Ian_Corne> just returns
[18:51] <Ian_Corne> no error, nothing
[18:51] <gnomefreak> currupt?
[18:52] <Ian_Corne> no
[18:52] <Ian_Corne> okular works
[18:52] <gnomefreak> is it only that png or do all have same issue
[18:52] <gnomefreak> ah ok
[18:54] <trism> Ian_Corne: eog by default, but have you updated yet? I just saw a line in the gtk changelog about reverted a change that was causing eog not to start
[18:54] <Ian_Corne> I'll try it
[18:58] <gnomefreak> yay!!! lots of broken packages not updating :(
[19:04] <gnomefreak> anyone else getting pinged with no reason? i get the sound but no highlighting
[19:06] <BluesKaj> gnomefreak,  no pings showing in the server text here.
[19:07] <gnomefreak> thanks
[19:07] <gnomefreak> brb bank
[19:14] <Ian_Corne> gnomefreak: apt-get upgrade went without a hitch
[19:15] <gnomefreak> Ian_Corne: i fixed it i think. i use dist-upgrade most of the time
[19:15] <Ian_Corne> I always upgeade first
[19:15] <Ian_Corne> to narrow the search :)
[19:22]  * BluesKaj goes outside to push some more snow...had a storm last night , first real snow of the season
[20:02] <yofel_> hm, does ubuntu-vm-builder create any kvm images for anyone? Here it crashes with some device-mapper error
[20:45] <litropy> Peeps, indicator-datetime-service is eating as much of my CPU as it can get.
[20:46] <litropy> Just lots of shoulder shrugging in the bug reports ...
[20:48] <Ian_Corne> not for me
[20:53] <litropy> I have no freakin clue what to do next. I tried nicing it and I striaght up froze on what looks like a kernel panic readout.
[20:53] <Ian_Corne> apt-get remove it :p
[20:54] <litropy> Ya, actually Ian_Corne ... what would that do, really ... Do I need it if my alarm clock tells me what time it is?
[20:54] <Ian_Corne> Yes
[20:54] <Ian_Corne> ah no
[20:55] <litropy> gish durmit
[20:55] <Ian_Corne> i don't know!
[20:55] <trism> litropy: attach to it with gdb or strace and see what it is doing?
[20:57] <litropy> It's acting like it's counting time at the MHz level lol ... k will do, once my system successfully boots.
[20:59] <litropy> Jesus ... I keep getting that kernel panicky thing before I can do anything. Gonna let it cool off for a few mins and see if that does anything.
[20:59] <litropy> It's just an eeepc 1005ha. shouldn't take long.
[21:00]  * litropy crosses his fingers in hope it's not hardware
[21:01] <Ian_Corne> what kernel version you on litropy ?
[21:01] <Ian_Corne> also, just load a different DE
[21:06] <Daekdroom> Wow, they changed the overlay-scrollbar design again.
[21:07] <Ian_Corne> I don't get that
[21:08] <Ian_Corne> there's always enough horizontal space anyways..
[21:08] <Ian_Corne> and if you make somethin that scrolls horizontally, you suck :p
[21:10] <Daekdroom> There's enough horizontal space specially now that nearly every screen available is wide
[21:10] <Ian_Corne> yes
[21:27] <lamalex> anyone else having really chopping output on and intel hda card?
[21:30] <patdk-wk> how exactlly does a harddisk controller chop it's output?
[21:31] <Ian_Corne> hda is audio :p
[21:35] <lamalex> :) indeed
[21:35] <lamalex> also i meant choppy
[21:36] <BluesKaj> lamalex, got pulseaudio installed ?
[21:36] <lamalex> yes
[21:37] <lamalex> BluesKaj, ^
[21:38] <lamalex> BluesKaj, maybe the better term is garbled
[21:39] <BluesKaj> setup your audio output to work with your soundcard in phonon/hardware /pulseaudio , lamalex
[21:39] <lamalex> like the buffers are being overwritten before the data is read
[21:39] <BluesKaj> ?
[21:39] <lamalex> did i set it up? .. no i just upgraded to P and this started
[21:42] <BluesKaj> lamalex,  may pulse is the problem , it doesn't play nice with all soundcards but it should be fine with intelhda
[21:42] <BluesKaj> maybe
[21:43] <lamalex> BluesKaj, its always worked
[21:43] <lamalex> this is definitely an O to P issue
[21:46] <litropy> K, got the strace. As stated earlier, indicator-datetime-service is eating as much of my CPU as it can get. pastebin.com/jwPN4KJx
[21:47] <litropy> http://pastebin.com/jwPN4KJx
[21:47] <litropy> ^^ for those clients that look for the prefix
[21:49] <litropy> uname -r: 3.2.0-9-generic, Ian Corne
[21:50] <litropy> th strace ran for about 10 secs ... and this is just a fragment of it. As you can see, it appears to be repeating, anyway.
[21:52] <litropy> the*
[22:37] <litropy> Indicator-datetime-service is eating as much of my CPU as it can get. strace: pastebin.com/jwPN4KJx
[23:47] <Daekdroom> Were there subtle changes to the Ambiance/Radiance theme lately?
[23:48] <Daekdroom> Every button suddenly seems smaller
[23:51] <Daekdroom> Ah. Found the changelog in launchpad. There were changes indeed.
