[01:55] yes [01:57] thanks [02:43] oh man.. i loled [02:44] im running it though.. me likey.. pro tip though, can we be a bit more snappy about including fglrx-updates ? [02:44] i thought fglrx-updates.. meant that it was actually updated ;) [02:44] we shouldn't have to add the edgers repo.. or *gasp*.. download it from amd [02:44] and the latest catalyst is massively improved [02:45] yeah i know.. the only two reasons to do it are oil rush and minecraft [02:45] but they're great games [02:59] My wifi speed limited to ~150K/s, anything I can do? [03:04] yes.. use an ethernet cable ;) [03:04] turn off encryption [03:04] try a different operating system [03:05] improve the signal strength by physically moving.. replacing the wifi adaptor and/or wireless router [03:05] encryption is off [03:05] this is ubuntu channel :| [03:05] it worked faster on 10.04 [03:06] ahh okay this information is useful [03:06] have you tried 11.10? [03:06] i guess it would help to identify when the regression in performance was introduced [03:07] i guess i could try livecds [03:07] or usb [03:07] who would i bring this to once i figure out when it started [03:08] 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] hmm [03:43] Is anyone able to use the U1MS with Rhythmbox, or is that functionality just not added yet? === Adys_ is now known as Adys === Adys is now known as adys`nosopa [07:15] anyone use sflphone here?

[10:45] what do you mean by mandatory? [10:45] richard_: Unity is the default UI [10:46] can I use GNOME instead? [10:46] !notunity [10:46] 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] yes. [10:46] without having to crack open my system with a spanner [10:46] you may want to upgrade your flux capacitors [10:46] but that is optional [10:47] I think I want GNOME 2 [10:47] It works for me [10:48] richard_: like pangolin said, use GNOME fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2 [10:48] what does similar mean? [10:48] Is it GNOME 2? [10:49] no [10:49] gnome2 is no longer being developed [10:50] richard_: it looks like Gnome 2. it has Gnome 2 like menu [10:50] gnome-fall back looks like gnome2 but with some differences [10:54] 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] cinnamon is not officially supported in ubuntu [10:54] ok [11:14] gooday all, anyone else been downed to unity-2d since last update, using the default nouveau driver [11:14] although I must say unity-2d is looking way better than in natty [14:51] this new look in Nautilus... It's not supposed to be that way, I hope? [15:10] Hey all [18:12] Anyone here having difficulty starting xorg? [18:13] Mine only seems to start about 50% of the time. [18:13] It looks like /var/log/xorg.failsafe.log has nothing of value in it. [18:13] I've tried sudo init 3 to drop out to a regular prompt, but even that isn't working. [18:14] 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] Sometimes doing a system update fixes the issue for a couple of boot cycles. [18:16] 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] 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] what opens pngs? [18:40] it's not working atm :p [18:50] image viewer? [18:51] it doesn't function, what's it's executable? [18:51] okular works [18:51] Ian_Corne: try using the terminal: xdg-open file-name.png [18:51] just returns [18:51] no error, nothing [18:51] currupt? [18:52] no [18:52] okular works [18:52] is it only that png or do all have same issue [18:52] ah ok [18:54] 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] I'll try it [18:58] yay!!! lots of broken packages not updating :( [19:04] anyone else getting pinged with no reason? i get the sound but no highlighting [19:06] gnomefreak, no pings showing in the server text here. [19:07] thanks [19:07] brb bank [19:14] gnomefreak: apt-get upgrade went without a hitch [19:15] Ian_Corne: i fixed it i think. i use dist-upgrade most of the time [19:15] I always upgeade first [19:15] 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] hm, does ubuntu-vm-builder create any kvm images for anyone? Here it crashes with some device-mapper error === yofel_ is now known as yofel [20:45] Peeps, indicator-datetime-service is eating as much of my CPU as it can get. [20:46] Just lots of shoulder shrugging in the bug reports ... [20:48] not for me [20:53] 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] apt-get remove it :p [20:54] 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] Yes [20:54] ah no [20:55] gish durmit [20:55] i don't know! [20:55] litropy: attach to it with gdb or strace and see what it is doing? [20:57] It's acting like it's counting time at the MHz level lol ... k will do, once my system successfully boots. [20:59] 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] It's just an eeepc 1005ha. shouldn't take long. [21:00] * litropy crosses his fingers in hope it's not hardware [21:01] what kernel version you on litropy ? [21:01] also, just load a different DE [21:06] Wow, they changed the overlay-scrollbar design again. [21:07] I don't get that [21:08] there's always enough horizontal space anyways.. [21:08] and if you make somethin that scrolls horizontally, you suck :p [21:10] There's enough horizontal space specially now that nearly every screen available is wide [21:10] yes [21:27] anyone else having really chopping output on and intel hda card? [21:30] how exactlly does a harddisk controller chop it's output? [21:31] hda is audio :p [21:35] :) indeed [21:35] also i meant choppy [21:36] lamalex, got pulseaudio installed ? [21:36] yes [21:37] BluesKaj, ^ [21:38] BluesKaj, maybe the better term is garbled [21:39] setup your audio output to work with your soundcard in phonon/hardware /pulseaudio , lamalex [21:39] like the buffers are being overwritten before the data is read [21:39] ? [21:39] did i set it up? .. no i just upgraded to P and this started [21:42] lamalex, may pulse is the problem , it doesn't play nice with all soundcards but it should be fine with intelhda [21:42] maybe [21:43] BluesKaj, its always worked [21:43] this is definitely an O to P issue [21:46] 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] http://pastebin.com/jwPN4KJx [21:47] ^^ for those clients that look for the prefix [21:49] uname -r: 3.2.0-9-generic, Ian Corne [21:50] th strace ran for about 10 secs ... and this is just a fragment of it.
