[01:26] <mhall119> anyone know why my BCM4312 wifi doesn't work after upgrading to Precise?
[01:28] <aBound> Hey is anybody using Unity 5.0?
[01:29] <mhall119> anybody on Precise is
[01:29] <pjs> where do I set boot options to disable the default window manager from loading?
[01:38] <mhall119> yay, wifi is working again!
[01:41]  * snadge is on precise :D
[01:42] <snadge> on about erm... 6 systems
[01:42] <mhall119> boo, thunderbird calendar extension is broken
[01:42] <snadge> thankfully i dont use it so i didn't notice ;)
[01:42] <snadge> only 2 of those systems had issues.. my htpc, i screwed it royally
[01:43] <snadge> lightdm was failing to start
[01:43] <snadge> but if i logged into console and service lightdm start .. started fine
[01:44] <snadge> and no.. im not a complete noob, i could see that upstart was starting lightdm.. checked the lightdm logs
[01:58] <Fudge> anyone experiencing gnome control center close when in sound
[03:36] <dD0T> Hi there. Running 12.04 on my Dell Latitude 131L and the kernel module for my built-in wifi (BCM4311) doesn't automatically load. I have to modprobe b43 after every boot to get it up and running. Any suggestions on how to best continue for getting this fixed? Thanks.
[03:40] <jbicha> mhall119: is ^ similar to your problem?
[03:41] <mhall119> jbicha: sounds it
[03:42] <mhall119> but b43 is still blacklisted for me
[03:42] <mhall119> I ran dpkg-reconfigure bcmwl-kernel-source
[03:43] <mhall119> not sure if that actually fixed it or not, but it worked after that
[03:44] <dD0T> mhall119: Hm. Seems like I have a b43 blacklist entry in blacklist-bcm43.conf. I take it that's the same you see?
[03:44] <mhall119> yup
[03:52] <dD0T> mhall119: The dpkg-reconfigure didn't change anything for me. Still blacklisted and not loading on startup (just checked). Any hint on the actual reason yet?
[03:54] <mhall119> dD0T: try modprobe-ing wl
[03:57] <dD0T> mhall119: Hm. Doesn't seem to do anything without me manually loading b43.
[03:57] <mhall119> dD0T: well b43 isn't loaded on mine ,maybe it's a chipset different
[03:57] <mhall119> I have BCM4312
[03:59] <dD0T> mhall119: Hm. Maybe one isn't supposed to use b43 anymore and the driver is in wl? Not that familiar with the linux wlan arch. I only remembered the last time it worked it used the b43 so I tried loading that and it worked.
[04:01] <dD0T> seems like that is actually the case. Explains the b43 blacklisting...now the question is how do I figure out why wl isn't working...
[04:12] <mhall119> that I can't help with, sorry
[04:12] <dD0T> What is strange though is that ssb and b44 for the BCM4401 built-in ethernet are loaded automatically...those should be blacklisted...I wonder whether it actually uses that blacklist...
[04:23] <dD0T> Unloading them and trying to load wl still doesn't make it work. I guess I'm back to square one: Any suggestions on how to best continue from here? ;-) Thanks.

[07:26] <dnivra> hello. I was checking on snort and found that the version available in the repository is quite outdated. I found from the launchpad devel page that the version of snort being packaged for precise pangolin is 2.8.5.2-9 while the latest avialable version is 2.9.2-1 uploaded less than a week ago. 2.9 version has introduced several new features and changes-radically different from 2.8.x series.
[07:27] <dnivra> it'll be great if the newer version were packaged instead of an older version, for the next Ubuntu release.
[08:01] <urlin2u> any body seeing any panic on the live cd?

[14:00] <jo-erlend> My lightdm greeter doesn't have a session menu anywhere. Where has it gone, and more importantly, how do I switch to another session now? I'd like to give Unity 2D a try.
[14:07] <mhall119> jo-erlend: I found two possibly related bugs
[14:07] <mhall119> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/920971
[14:07] <mhall119> and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/918072
[14:07] <jo-erlend> yes, I'll just uninstall Unity and see what happens.
[14:08] <mhall119> jo-erlend: since this is in light-dm, I'm not sure doing things to Unity will have any effect
[14:08] <jo-erlend> Unity cannot possibly start if it doesn't exist.
[14:09] <jo-erlend> brb
[14:09] <mhall119> oh, I see what you mean
[14:10] <mhall119> jo-erlend: robert_ancell seems to be the person to talk to, but I'm not seeing him online atm
[14:10] <jo-erlend> yes, that did the trick.
[14:10] <mhall119> jo-erlend: which of those two bugs was most like your problem?
[14:11] <jo-erlend> I have no idea. I didn't look at any of them.
[14:11] <mhall119> one says there is no icon for changing session, the other says that the session menu just has no effect
[14:11] <jo-erlend> from the subject, it sounded like the first, since there is no menu to choose from.
[14:11] <mhall119> ok
[15:09] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[15:46] <articodentro> hi all guys
[15:46] <articodentro> i'm in trouble trying to install precise pangolin on my eeepc
[15:47] <articodentro> seems like ubiquity goes crazy trying to remove conflict files
[15:47] <articodentro> from a formatted partiion
[15:49] <articodentro> i've tried alpha 1 and daily builds with no results
[16:11] <BluesKaj> articodentro,  not sure but there are some caveats about eeepc and power pcs on the DL site
[16:12] <BluesKaj> I thought I saw something about that
[16:22] <aguitel> with the last upgrade my system crash ,no x
[16:24] <aguitel> i am using nvidia-173 drivers
[16:27] <BluesKaj> aguitel,  why not use nvidia-current , if your card is less than 5yrs old
[16:41] <aguitel> BluesKaj, is Geoforce fx 5500
[16:41] <aguitel> BluesKaj, it use 173 series
[16:42] <BluesKaj> aguitel,  does admin/additonal drivers recommend the 173 ?
[16:43] <aguitel> BluesKaj, jockey-gtk say that
[16:43] <aguitel> BluesKaj, nvidia.com too

[17:17] <jonarve> Or is there any way of downgrading from 12.04 til 11.10?
[17:19] <bazhang> full reinstall
[17:19] <jonarve> darn
[17:30] <jonarve> Can anyone help out getting mysql 5.5 up and running on 12.04? Will pay
[17:32] <jtaylor> is the server running?
[17:32] <jtaylor> if not what error do you get on starting it
[17:33] <jtaylor> my guess its some issue with the /run transition
[17:33] <jtaylor> reinstall might help
[17:33] <jonarve> Yes it's running
[17:35] <jonarve> Seems like mysql isn't installed properly
[17:45] <BluesKaj> my other 12.04 pc keeps spitting this out after update/upgrades ,  sh: 1: /usr/bin/gdbus: not found ..I guess not, there's no gdbus in /usr/bin
[17:54] <BluesKaj> any ideas ?
[18:06] <BluesKaj> ahh fixed it , missing, libglib2.0-bin, libglib2.0-0-dbg, libdbus-ruby
[18:07] <cjohnston> Greetings. I was updating my system using update-manager -d.. I got an error about a mirror failed.. Everything had crashed except for terminal, I rebooted the machine, and now I don't get past a blank dark purple screen.. any ideas?
[18:08] <BluesKaj> cjohnston,  can you get to a TTY prompt , ctl+alt+F1 or F2
[18:10] <cjohnston> BluesKaj: no.. the first time i hit ctrl alt f1, there was a brief flash of a cursor, but then back to purple
[18:12] <BluesKaj> cjohnston, did you try holding down the shift key right after the bios scrn 'til the grub menu appears?
[18:19] <cjohnston> BluesKaj: that didnt do anything
[18:19] <cjohnston> i was able to boot an old kernel
[18:19] <cjohnston> and im on tty1
[18:19] <cjohnston> i ran sudo dpkg --configure -a
[18:23] <BluesKaj> cjohnston,  yes was gonna suggest that command,  then do , sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[18:24] <cjohnston> BluesKaj: ty
[18:36] <cjohnston> BluesKaj: i got a ui back
[18:37] <BluesKaj> cjohnston,  desktop ?
[18:37] <Ian_Corne> xserver update safe for ati OS drivers?
[18:38] <cjohnston> BluesKaj: yes
[18:38] <cjohnston> and a compiz crash! lol
[18:38] <Ian_Corne> guess not :p
[18:39] <toasty95> are dual monitor displays going to have more time put into them this round???
[18:41] <Ian_Corne> yes
[18:41] <Ian_Corne> mine is working "flawelessly"
[18:41] <Ian_Corne> even with one monitor turned
[18:42] <toasty95> in 12.04 nvidia drivers are not so good
[18:42] <Ian_Corne> they'll come along
[18:42] <Ian_Corne> I'm using ati atm
[18:43] <toasty95> wanted to know before i upgrade my dist.
[18:44] <toasty95> dual display has come far in linux / BSD also
[18:44] <Ian_Corne> well, if you can't live with an unstable system, don't
[18:44] <toasty95> I love testing, debian at the moment
[18:45] <jo-erlend> how has the x upgrade gone for you people? I'm doing it now.
[18:45] <BluesKaj> toasty95,  depends on your driver and card , nvidia is working very well atm , but i havent tried dual monitors net
[18:45] <jo-erlend> this is by far the least unstable development version of Ubuntu ever.
[18:45] <BluesKaj> yet
[18:45] <Ian_Corne> jo-erlend: you on ati?
[18:46] <Ian_Corne> I'm to scared to try :p
[18:46] <jo-erlend> yes. Radeon HD 5850.
[18:46] <Ian_Corne> ok
[18:46] <Ian_Corne> OS drivers?
[18:46] <jo-erlend> I'm doing it now, so I can tell you. :)
[18:46] <Ian_Corne> I'm on 6850
[18:46] <Ian_Corne> ok nice
[18:46] <jo-erlend> I think I'm using fglrx at the moment, actually.
[18:46] <Ian_Corne> fglrx is a disaster for me
[18:46] <Ian_Corne> last time I tried
[18:47] <Ian_Corne> also to scared to try it again
[18:47] <Ian_Corne> I don't think fglrx will work with the newest xserver
[18:47] <Ian_Corne> it never does, until the release
[18:47] <jo-erlend> Ian_Corne, we'll see.
[18:47] <BluesKaj> 12.04 is working here , nvidia 7600gt graphics , m-audio 192 audio , amd 64 dual core, 3G RAM
[18:49] <toasty95> BlueKaj, Xorg.conf flops every time. Recomended or unstable
[18:51] <toasty95> BlueKaj,- nvidia 7600gt, intel i5 dual core 8gb ram......whats wrong ?
[18:52] <toasty95> same card diff board...
[18:53] <jo-erlend> I think update-manager has become extremely slow lately. I mean the GUI.
[18:53] <toasty95> Is it intel ?
[18:53] <jo-erlend> brb, reboot
[18:53] <Ian_Corne> gl
[18:54] <jo-erlend> thanks :)
[18:58] <jo-erlend> everything seems fine. Fglrx is even working.
[19:02] <Ian_Corne> ok nice
[19:02] <Ian_Corne> you mind trying with OS drivers? :p
[19:02] <jo-erlend> you mean just removing fglrx and use radeon to see if it works?
[19:03] <Ian_Corne> yes
[19:03] <jo-erlend> absolutely not. I usually do that.
[19:04] <jo-erlend> restarting x afterwards should be sufficient, right?
[19:04] <Ian_Corne> not sure
[19:04] <Ian_Corne> probably
[19:04] <Ian_Corne> you can check what's running right?
[19:04] <Ian_Corne> with lsmod
[19:04] <jo-erlend> oh, I need to reinstall Unity again as well then. I removed it to check Unity 2D since there's no session menu in lightdm anymore. :)
[19:05] <jo-erlend> yep.
[19:05] <Ian_Corne> you could still get to it
[19:05] <Ian_Corne> if you switch to another user's focus
[19:05] <Ian_Corne> and then back to yours
[19:05] <jo-erlend> Ian_Corne, -vvv?
[19:06] <jo-erlend> oh, you mean in the login screen?
[19:06] <jo-erlend> I'll give it a go.
[19:06] <jo-erlend> brb
[19:06] <Ian_Corne> thanks
[19:18] <sneumann_> Hi, I have a problem booting a laptop with current 12.04 (actually all the time since 11.10, but 10.04 works fine).
[19:19] <sneumann_> Grub2 drops me into a busybox shell, and has "forgotten" to lvchange -ay, so LVM partitions are unavailable
[19:19] <sneumann_> this is on i386, current 12.04
[19:19] <sneumann_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/596554
[19:20] <sneumann_> The separate /boot is on a non-LVM /sev/sda2
[19:21] <jo-erlend> Ian_Corne, it works, but there were glitches.
[19:21] <Ian_Corne> was just gonna say you didn't return yet :p
[19:21] <Ian_Corne> tell me, are they workable?
[19:21] <jo-erlend> that might not be a driver issue though. It seemed to want to start Unity, which I had uninstalled. I don't know why it attempted that.
[19:21] <jo-erlend> seems fine.
[19:22] <Ian_Corne> ok thanks
[19:22] <jo-erlend> actually, quite smooth.
[19:22] <Ian_Corne> it's working very smooth for me now too
[19:22] <Ian_Corne> with 2x 1920x1200 screen pushing
[19:22] <Ian_Corne> one tiled 90°
[19:23] <jo-erlend> I'm tempted to say that the radeon driver is more smooth than fglrx.
[19:23] <jo-erlend> screen pushing?
[19:23] <jo-erlend> I have two 1920x1080. One is vertical. It's working great.
[19:24] <Ian_Corne> yes, the same then :)
[19:24] <Ian_Corne> well yeah, it has to push more pixels!
[19:24] <Ian_Corne> and i'm using normal unity, with compiz
[19:24] <Ian_Corne> everything is _very_ smooth
[19:24] <jo-erlend> I am too now, though Unity 2D 5.2 is awesome.
[19:24] <Ian_Corne> I find the lack of hotkeys disturbing
[19:25] <jo-erlend> it needs to recreate the alt+tab dialog, and it's missing some keyboard shortcuts.
[19:25] <Ian_Corne> the ctrl alt numpad thing
[19:25] <jo-erlend> ah, right. I didn't test that.
[19:25] <Ian_Corne> anyone with dual gfx card here?
[19:25] <jo-erlend> yes, there are still some minor issues.
[19:25] <Ian_Corne> nvidia preferably
[19:35] <sneumann_> Any early boot / initrd experts around ? I am dropped into initrd busybox, after "vgchange -ay" I can exit and normal boot resumes.
[19:36] <sneumann_> My /boot is ext3 on sda5, my / is ext4 on LVM
[20:04] <Ian_Corne> going into screensaver/lock screen made the rotated screen not work anymore jo-erlend :p
[20:12] <jo-erlend> Ian_Corne, does here.
[20:12] <Ian_Corne> it works again
[20:13] <Ian_Corne> after disable/enable
[20:13] <Ian_Corne> i'm updating
[20:34] <FernandoMiguel> great
[20:35] <FernandoMiguel> latest kernel has no support for my ETH
[20:36] <Ian_Corne> ewhat's an ETH

[20:49] <FernandoMiguel> I don't usually reinstall
[20:49] <aguitel> FernandoMiguel, i did many times with all distros
[21:06] <PatrickC> i keep getting the following error when trying to update to 12.04
[21:06] <PatrickC> http://pastebin.com/qa3SpZg8
[21:09] <hggdh> PatrickC: some of the packages shown are quite old, have you 'apt-get update'?
[21:09] <PatrickC> no i havent
[21:09] <PatrickC> lemme try that
[21:10] <PatrickC> failed to download some files
[21:10] <PatrickC> http://pastebin.com/sw568fEg
[21:12] <hggdh> PatrickC: well... the one that failed states it is for Hardy (and a PPA, at that)
[21:12] <hggdh> and you are running Oneiric...
[21:12]  * PatrickC is a total linux newb
[21:12] <PatrickC> trying to fix that though
[21:12] <PatrickC> well, i know basic linux
[21:12] <PatrickC> but not much
[21:12] <hggdh> :-)
[21:12] <hggdh> don't worry
[21:12] <PatrickC> i use webOs daily, and that has a linux command line on it :)
[21:12] <PatrickC> i actually run a 11.04 chroot on it
[21:13] <PatrickC> so how would i fix that? so i can update to 12.04? :)
[21:13] <iceroot> hi
[21:14] <PatrickC> i have a friend who works for Canonical (sorry if i butchered the name) .. hes trying to get me more into linux then windows :)
[21:14] <iceroot> do we have a strange change on xserver/touchpad? when moving the mouse, stoping it but still holding the finger on the touchpad the mouse-pointer is still moving
[21:14] <hggdh> PatrickC: well. Right now, disregard the error, and try 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[21:14] <PatrickC> running now
[21:15] <PatrickC> and it has to download over 1000 mb lol
[21:15] <PatrickC> im on about a 3mb download
[21:15] <ubuntufan> PatrickC, I have recently tried linux on a big monitor and it seems to behave a lot more expectedly than when I'm using my laptop's monitor, keyboard, and moue
[21:15] <ubuntufan> *mouse
[21:15] <PatrickC> thanks :) ill let you guys know when its done
[21:15] <hggdh> iceroot: I do not quite follow you: are you using the mouse *and* the touchpad at the same time?
[21:15] <PatrickC> thanks for the help hggdh
[21:15] <PatrickC> ubuntufan, huh?
[21:15] <hggdh> PatrickC: yw
[21:15] <ubuntufan> there seems to be some bugs not yet completely worked out in the dell xps m1530's drivers
[21:15] <albert23> iceroot: sounds like bug 921082
[21:15] <iceroot> hggdh: only touchpad
[21:16] <ubuntufan> for keyboard, video, and mouse
[21:16] <ubuntufan> well, not video so much
[21:16] <iceroot> albert23: thanks
[21:16] <ubuntufan> PatrickC, I have a usb adapter for an external keyboard. I also have a large-screen monitor
[21:17] <ubuntufan> PatrickC_Away, when I use those, linux behaves better
[21:17] <ubuntufan> but I'll let you go now :)
[21:17] <PatrickC_Away> thanks :)
[21:17] <PatrickC_Away> hopefully 12.0
[21:17] <PatrickC_Away> 12.04 will install cleanly*
[21:28] <iceroot> this touchpad bug is so ugly....
[21:56] <Fudge> is HUD already in precise?
[21:57] <jtaylor> only a ppa so far I know
[21:58] <Fudge> jtaylor  I guess it would follow the existing menu structures do you think?
[21:59] <Fudge> so should be accessible as any menu item with orca
[21:59] <jtaylor> haven't tried it yet
[22:05] <aguitel> is the driver nvidia-173 working in precise ?
[22:43] <aguitel> is the driver nvidia-173 working in precise ?
[22:45] <aguitel> i have Geoforce fx 5500 (working only with nvidia-173) and with upgrade from today x are not running

[23:31] <pqatsi> trism: amd64 appears to be ok
[23:31] <pqatsi> Version: 3.2.0-10.18
[23:33] <urlin2u> anybody seen the live crash?
[23:34] <urlin2u> actually panic and freeze heading for the tty.
[23:46] <PatrickC_Away> man.. this upgrade is taking forever
[23:46] <PatrickC_Away> and i have no "desktop" icons
[23:46] <PatrickC_Away> like, no task bar or anything :)
