mhall119anyone know why my BCM4312 wifi doesn't work after upgrading to Precise?01:26
aBoundHey is anybody using Unity 5.0?01:28
mhall119anybody on Precise is01:29
pjswhere do I set boot options to disable the default window manager from loading?01:29
mhall119yay, wifi is working again!01:38

dD0THi 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.03:36
jbichamhall119: is ^ similar to your problem?03:40
mhall119jbicha: sounds it03:41
mhall119but b43 is still blacklisted for me03:42
mhall119I ran dpkg-reconfigure bcmwl-kernel-source03:42
mhall119not sure if that actually fixed it or not, but it worked after that03:43
dD0Tmhall119: Hm. Seems like I have a b43 blacklist entry in blacklist-bcm43.conf. I take it that's the same you see?03:44
mhall119yup03:44
dD0Tmhall119: 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?03:52
mhall119dD0T: try modprobe-ing wl03:54
dD0Tmhall119: Hm. Doesn't seem to do anything without me manually loading b43.03:57
mhall119dD0T: well b43 isn't loaded on mine ,maybe it's a chipset different03:57
mhall119I have BCM431203:57
dD0Tmhall119: 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.03:59
dD0Tseems like that is actually the case. Explains the b43 blacklisting...now the question is how do I figure out why wl isn't working...04:01
mhall119that I can't help with, sorry04:12
dD0TWhat 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...04:12
dD0TUnloading 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.04:23

dnivrahello. I was checking on snort and found that the version available in the repository is quite outdated.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.07:26
dnivrait'll be great if the newer version were packaged instead of an older version, for the next Ubuntu release.07:27

jo-erlendMy 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.14:00
mhall119jo-erlend: I found two possibly related bugs14:07
mhall119https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/92097114:07

ubottuUbuntu bug 918072 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "Selecting other session in login screen doesn't do anything" [Low,New]14:07
jo-erlendyes, I'll just uninstall Unity and see what happens.14:07
mhall119jo-erlend: since this is in light-dm, I'm not sure doing things to Unity will have any effect14:08
jo-erlendUnity cannot possibly start if it doesn't exist.14:08
jo-erlendbrb14:09
mhall119oh, I see what you mean14:09
mhall119jo-erlend: robert_ancell seems to be the person to talk to, but I'm not seeing him online atm14:10
jo-erlendyes, that did the trick.14:10
mhall119jo-erlend: which of those two bugs was most like your problem?14:10
jo-erlendI have no idea. I didn't look at any of them.14:11
mhall119one says there is no icon for changing session, the other says that the session menu just has no effect14:11
jo-erlendfrom the subject, it sounded like the first, since there is no menu to choose from.14:11
