| atruno | is pangolin impressive ? | 01:54 |
| bazhang | yes | 01:55 |
| atruno | thanks | 01:57 |
| snadge | oh man.. i loled | 02:43 |
| 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 | 02:44 |
| snadge | yeah i know.. the only two reasons to do it are oil rush and minecraft | 02:45 |
| snadge | but they're great games | 02:45 |
| Ben64 | My wifi speed limited to ~150K/s, anything I can do? | 02:59 |
| snadge | yes.. use an ethernet cable ;) | 03:04 |
| snadge | turn off encryption | 03:04 |
| snadge | try a different operating system | 03:04 |
| 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 | 03:05 |
| 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 | 03:06 |
| 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 | 03:07 |
| 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 | 03:08 |
| imnichol | Is anyone able to use the U1MS with Rhythmbox, or is that functionality just not added yet? | 03:43 |

| richard_ | Is Unity mandatory in 12.04? | 10:44 |
| jokerdino | what do you mean by mandatory? | 10:45 |
| pangolin | richard_: Unity is the default UI | 10:45 |
| richard_ | can I use GNOME instead? | 10:46 |
| pangolin | !notunity | 10:46 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 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 | 10:46 |
| richard_ | I think I want GNOME 2 | 10:47 |
| richard_ | It works for me | 10:47 |
| 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? | 10:48 |
| pangolin | no | 10:49 |
| pangolin | gnome2 is no longer being developed | 10:49 |
| 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 | 10:50 |
| 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 | 10:54 |
| 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 | 11:14 |
| jo-erlend | this new look in Nautilus... It's not supposed to be that way, I hope? | 14:51 |
| BluesKaj | Hey all | 15:10 |
| blizzow | Anyone here having difficulty starting xorg? | 18:12 |
| 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. | 18:13 |
| 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. | 18:14 |
| 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. | 18:16 |
| 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. | 18:35 |
| Ian_Corne | what opens pngs? | 18:40 |
| Ian_Corne | it's not working atm :p | 18:40 |
| gnomefreak | image viewer? | 18:50 |
| 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? | 18:51 |
| 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 | 18:52 |
| 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 | 18:54 |
| gnomefreak | yay!!! lots of broken packages not updating :( | 18:58 |
| gnomefreak | anyone else getting pinged with no reason? i get the sound but no highlighting | 19:04 |
| BluesKaj | gnomefreak, no pings showing in the server text here. | 19:06 |
| gnomefreak | thanks | 19:07 |
| gnomefreak | brb bank | 19:07 |
| Ian_Corne | gnomefreak: apt-get upgrade went without a hitch | 19:14 |
| 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 |

| litropy | Peeps, indicator-datetime-service is eating as much of my CPU as it can get. | 20:45 |
| litropy | Just lots of shoulder shrugging in the bug reports ... | 20:46 |
| Ian_Corne | not for me | 20:48 |
| 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 | 20:53 |
| 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 | 20:54 |
| 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? | 20:55 |
| litropy | It's acting like it's counting time at the MHz level lol ... k will do, once my system successfully boots. | 20:57 |
| 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. | 20:59 |
| * litropy crosses his fingers in hope it's not hardware | 21:00 | |
| Ian_Corne | what kernel version you on litropy ? | 21:01 |
| Ian_Corne | also, just load a different DE | 21:01 |
| Daekdroom | Wow, they changed the overlay-scrollbar design again. | 21:06 |
| Ian_Corne | I don't get that | 21:07 |
| Ian_Corne | there's always enough horizontal space anyways.. | 21:08 |
| Ian_Corne | and if you make somethin that scrolls horizontally, you suck :p | 21:08 |
| Daekdroom | There's enough horizontal space specially now that nearly every screen available is wide | 21:10 |
| Ian_Corne | yes | 21:10 |
| lamalex | anyone else having really chopping output on and intel hda card? | 21:27 |
| patdk-wk | how exactlly does a harddisk controller chop it's output? | 21:30 |
| Ian_Corne | hda is audio :p | 21:31 |
| lamalex | :) indeed | 21:35 |
| lamalex | also i meant choppy | 21:35 |
| BluesKaj | lamalex, got pulseaudio installed ? | 21:36 |
| lamalex | yes | 21:36 |
| lamalex | BluesKaj, ^ | 21:37 |
| lamalex | BluesKaj, maybe the better term is garbled | 21:38 |
| 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 | 21:39 |
| 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 | 21:42 |
| lamalex | BluesKaj, its always worked | 21:43 |
| lamalex | this is definitely an O to P issue | 21:43 |
| 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 | 21:46 |
