=== ubott2 is now known as ubottu [01:26] anyone know why my BCM4312 wifi doesn't work after upgrading to Precise? [01:28] Hey is anybody using Unity 5.0? [01:29] anybody on Precise is [01:29] where do I set boot options to disable the default window manager from loading? [01:38] yay, wifi is working again! [01:41] * snadge is on precise :D [01:42] on about erm... 6 systems [01:42] boo, thunderbird calendar extension is broken [01:42] thankfully i dont use it so i didn't notice ;) [01:42] only 2 of those systems had issues.. my htpc, i screwed it royally [01:43] lightdm was failing to start [01:43] but if i logged into console and service lightdm start .. started fine [01:44] and no.. im not a complete noob, i could see that upstart was starting lightdm.. checked the lightdm logs [01:58] anyone experiencing gnome control center close when in sound [03:36] 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] mhall119: is ^ similar to your problem? [03:41] jbicha: sounds it [03:42] but b43 is still blacklisted for me [03:42] I ran dpkg-reconfigure bcmwl-kernel-source [03:43] not sure if that actually fixed it or not, but it worked after that [03:44] 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] yup [03:52] 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] dD0T: try modprobe-ing wl [03:57] mhall119: Hm. Doesn't seem to do anything without me manually loading b43. [03:57] dD0T: well b43 isn't loaded on mine ,maybe it's a chipset different [03:57] I have BCM4312 [03:59] 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] 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] that I can't help with, sorry [04:12] 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] 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] 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] it'll be great if the newer version were packaged instead of an older version, for the next Ubuntu release.

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] jo-erlend: I found two possibly related bugs [14:07] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/920971 [14:07] Ubuntu bug 920971 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "Lost icon selection session" [Undecided,New] [14:07] and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/918072 [14:07] Ubuntu bug 918072 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "Selecting other session in login screen doesn't do anything" [Low,New] [14:07] yes, I'll just uninstall Unity and see what happens. [14:08] jo-erlend: since this is in light-dm, I'm not sure doing things to Unity will have any effect [14:08] Unity cannot possibly start if it doesn't exist. [14:09] brb [14:09] oh, I see what you mean [14:10] jo-erlend: robert_ancell seems to be the person to talk to, but I'm not seeing him online atm [14:10] yes, that did the trick. [14:10] jo-erlend: which of those two bugs was most like your problem? [14:11] I have no idea. I didn't look at any of them. [14:11] one says there is no icon for changing session, the other says that the session menu just has no effect [14:11] from the subject, it sounded like the first, since there is no menu to choose from.

[18:06] ahh fixed it , missing, libglib2.0-bin, libglib2.0-0-dbg, libdbus-ruby [18:07] 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] cjohnston, can you get to a TTY prompt , ctl+alt+F1 or F2 [18:10] 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] cjohnston, did you try holding down the shift key right after the bios scrn 'til the grub menu appears? [18:19] BluesKaj: that didnt do anything [18:19] i was able to boot an old kernel [18:19] and im on tty1 [18:19] i ran sudo dpkg --configure -a [18:23] cjohnston, yes was gonna suggest that command, then do , sudo do-release-upgrade -d [18:24] BluesKaj: ty [18:36] BluesKaj: i got a ui back [18:37] cjohnston, desktop ?

[18:41] yes [18:41] mine is working "flawelessly" [18:41] even with one monitor turned [18:42] in 12.04 nvidia drivers are not so good [18:42] they'll come along [18:42] I'm using ati atm [18:43] wanted to know before i upgrade my dist. [18:44] dual display has come far in linux / BSD also [18:44] well, if you can't live with an unstable system, don't [18:44] I love testing, debian at the moment [18:45] how has the x upgrade gone for you people? I'm doing it now. [18:45] toasty95, depends on your driver and card , nvidia is working very well atm , but i havent tried dual monitors net [18:45] this is by far the least unstable development version of Ubuntu ever. [18:45] yet [18:45] jo-erlend: you on ati? [18:46] I'm to scared to try :p [18:46] yes. Radeon HD 5850. [18:46] ok [18:46] OS drivers? [18:46] I'm doing it now, so I can tell you. :) [18:46] I'm on 6850 [18:46] ok nice [18:46] I think I'm using fglrx at the moment, actually. [18:46] fglrx is a disaster for me [18:46] last time I tried [18:47] also to scared to try it again [18:47] I don't think fglrx will work with the newest xserver [18:47] it never does, until the release [18:47] Ian_Corne, we'll see. [18:47] 12.04 is working here , nvidia 7600gt graphics , m-audio 192 audio , amd 64 dual core, 3G RAM [18:49] BlueKaj, Xorg.conf flops every time. Recomended or unstable [18:51] BlueKaj,- nvidia 7600gt, intel i5 dual core 8gb ram......whats wrong ? [18:52] same card diff board... [18:53] I think update-manager has become extremely slow lately. I mean the GUI. [18:53] Is it intel ? [18:53] brb, reboot [18:53] gl [18:54] thanks :) [18:58] everything seems fine. Fglrx is even working. [19:02] ok nice [19:02] you mind trying with OS drivers? :p [19:02] you mean just removing fglrx and use radeon to see if it works? [19:03] yes [19:03] absolutely not. I usually do that. [19:04] restarting x afterwards should be sufficient, right? [19:04] not sure [19:04] probably [19:04] you can check what's running right? [19:04] with lsmod [19:04] 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] yep. [19:05] you could still get to it [19:05] if you switch to another user's focus [19:05] and then back to yours [19:05] Ian_Corne, -vvv? [19:06] oh, you mean in the login screen? [19:06] I'll give it a go. [19:06] brb [19:06] thanks [19:18] 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] Grub2 drops me into a busybox shell, and has "forgotten" to lvchange -ay, so LVM partitions are unavailable [19:19] this is on i386, current 12.04 [19:19] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/596554 [19:19] Ubuntu bug 596554 in udev (Ubuntu) "Unable to mount root LVM partition" [Undecided,New] [19:20] The separate /boot is on a non-LVM /sev/sda2 [19:21] Ian_Corne, it works, but there were glitches. [19:21] was just gonna say you didn't return yet :p [19:21] tell me, are they workable? [19:21] 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] seems fine. [19:22] ok thanks [19:22] actually, quite smooth. [19:22] it's working very smooth for me now too [19:22] with 2x 1920x1200 screen pushing [19:22] one tiled 90° [19:23] I'm tempted to say that the radeon driver is more smooth than fglrx. [19:23] screen pushing? [19:23] I have two 1920x1080. One is vertical. It's working great. [19:24] yes, the same then :) [19:24] well yeah, it has to push more pixels! [19:24] and i'm using normal unity, with compiz [19:24] everything is _very_ smooth [19:24] I am too now, though Unity 2D 5.2 is awesome. [19:24] I find the lack of hotkeys disturbing [19:25] it needs to recreate the alt+tab dialog, and it's missing some keyboard shortcuts. [19:25] the ctrl alt numpad thing [19:25] ah, right. I didn't test that. [19:25] anyone with dual gfx card here? [19:25] yes, there are still some minor issues. [19:25] nvidia preferably [19:35] Any early boot / initrd experts around ? I am dropped into initrd busybox, after "vgchange -ay" I can exit and normal boot resumes.
