[00:05] i have not nvidia drivers working with last upgrade [00:06] aguitel, you have to reload them on upgrades [00:06] distro upgrades that is [00:08] almost done :) (i think) [00:08] just finished setting up locals [00:11] urlin2u, how reload [00:13] urlin2u, explain to me === PatrickC_Away is now known as PatrickC [00:19] aguitel, look in additional drivers and see if there is one waiting. [00:21] aguitel, did you upgrade from oneiric, or just a update-upgrade in precise? [00:23] aguitel, you can run this command if you have no driver waiting I believe sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [00:32] urlin2u, this is upgrade in precise and nvidia-current is not working with my card [00:32] aguitel, not sure then otherwise sorry. [00:35] my card is geoforce fx 5500 [00:47] aguitel, try nvidia-173 [00:49] bjsnider, this is the driver but when iinstalled x crash [02:14] hey guys. i'm running the 12.04 alpha and only the ... 'default' lens works. all the specific ones (apps/files/music etc.) show nothing - either when i search or not [02:15] are they broken for everyone or is it just an alpha-ish glitch on my end? [02:17] whats a lens [02:17] oh those other icons in the umm.. dock menu thingy [02:17] yes they work for me.. but i never use them [02:18] snadge: really? hm, i guess something's broken on my end then. thanks! [02:18] i wonder if there's a cache or something i can obliterate [02:18] dash.. my bad.. i should be up with the lingo ;) [02:18] yeah.. umm, from experience.. you can delete your entire home directory.. (j/k) [02:19] but theres things in there like .compiz err just have a look [02:19] and also try unity --reset [02:19] when deleting the settings make sure you're logged out of X [02:19] snadge: i think i'll just take a hammer to my harddrive. :P or try unity --reset - i forgot about that one! thanks :) [02:19] try purging gconf and other things failing that [02:19] and if it still fails.. create another user.. and log in with that [02:20] if that works.. blow away your home directory ;) [02:20] tried resetting unity, no luck. i'll check .compiz, but it could be something a bit more backend-y [02:20] (that's a technical term, by the way - i'm not being rude) [02:21] unity.glib.dbusproxy GlibDBusProxy.cpp:276 Calling method "Search" on object path: "/come/canonical/unity/lens/applications" failed <=== that sounds pretty relevent [02:25] hmmm.. something seems busted [02:25] try logging in with a freshly created user [02:26] create a new login...

[02:35] when i got home from letting 12.04 install, i have no desktop at all [02:35] and i have no close/etc. icons [02:35] came home to the command line saying "Errors were encountered while processing: [02:36] flashplugin-installer [02:36] PatrickC: no desktop? does unity 2D work at all?

[02:40] well, unity --reset kinda seemed to maybe work [02:40] you run unity --replace [02:40] unity --reset brought back unity [02:40] how do i check if the distro update went ok? [02:40] cool [02:41] as it errored out at flashplugin [02:41] run the update again is what I would do to see what is in the terminal [02:42] ok [02:43] http://flickr.com/gp/60166159@N06/3fFF34 [02:43] thats what happened to the desktop [02:43] well, it completed successfully [02:44] (sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) [02:44] looks like compiz is dead. did unity --replace not work? [02:44] unity --reset did [02:44] looks like a compiz problem it gas a poor refresh rate unity right, I have the fusion icon on the desktop to re;oad it [02:44] reload [02:44] im installing cinnamon though.. so i wont have to deal with unity anymore :P [02:45] should i do a unity --reload? [02:45] after the unity --reset [02:45] PatrickC: if it happens again, --replace is less invasive. --reset resets all your settings (surprise!) but replace just reloads compiz/unity [02:45] generally you can run compiz --replace it is a compiz problem generally [02:45] ok cool [02:46] is there a place to make sure im on 12.04 now? [02:46] or just the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [02:46] replace or reset I forget, I just have the icon to do it.

[16:16] i installed it with the PPA [16:17] but it works fine for me (except for this little hiccup :)) [16:17] oh, ok. You're adventurous then. An unstable software in a development OS :) [16:17] yep :) [16:17] Ubuntu is my "second" OS [16:17] windows is still my main [16:17] * PatrickC hides [16:18] brb switching back to unity :/ [16:18] nothing wrong with that. In a perfect world, Ubuntu would solve all your problems making Windows obsolete and unnecessary, but the main thing is that you get your stuff done. :) [16:18] yep ":) [16:18] :)* [16:19] methinks I shall give Ubiquity a go and see how well it works. === PatrickC is now known as PatrickC_Away === PatrickC_Away is now known as PatrickC [16:20] whats that? [16:20] * PatrickC just switched back to classic.. ahh :) [16:21] graphical installer from the live cd/usb session. [16:21] ah [16:21] i just did a straight distro update [16:21] one of the things i like about ubuntu. did a distro update and didnt have to reboot!! :D [16:21] Gnome Panel is quite nice. I think it's still missing indicator support. I hope that gets fixed before release. [16:21] :) [16:22] in my opinion, this alpha build is as nice as most production windows builds [16:22] you do in order for everything to be used though... [16:22] hehe [16:22] yes, this cycle is very nice. [16:22] it's probably more stable than the beta for 11.10. [16:23] now, if only we could get major companies like Trillian on board to make their apps compatible with Ubuntu without the need for wine :) [16:23] jo-erlend, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/indicator-applet-ported-to-gnome-3-can.html [16:24] zniavre, yes, I have it installed, but it's not included in the distro, I think. [16:24] no it s not [16:24] sorry for misunderstanding [16:25] I would also like for the super+alt keypress necessity to be patched away for Ubuntu. We don't need to make it look and feel like Gnome Shell. We should aim at making it feel as close as Gnome Panel in 10.04, I think. [16:25] what does super/alt ? [16:26] http://flic.kr/p/biqY3c why would adobe air be giving me this message when gnome-keyring is installed? [16:26] In Gnome Panel 3, you have to press super+alt and right-click to access the menus in order to add applets, move them around, etc. [16:27] PatrickC, this is pure speculation, but it is possible that it was made for the old version of the keyring. The format has changed in Gnome 3 if I recall correctly. [16:27] where is the super button? i dont see the Superman S on my kb :P [16:27] ah [16:27] maybe.. now to figure out how to get around that... hmm.. [16:27] super is the key that causes your Ubuntu keyboard to advertise for Windows. :) [16:28] PatrickC, it would be _very_ difficult. You'd have to either patch AIR or the keyring, I believe. [16:28] but as I said, that's pure speculation. I don't _know_ that this is the case. [16:28] might as well try and update air [16:28] try searching for "Adobe AIR Gnome 3" or something. [16:28] how do i launch the system update? lol [16:29] right. [16:29] cant find the icon :P4 [16:29] :P * [16:29] PatrickC, it's called "update manager". You can launch it by pressing super and entering "up". [16:29] it'll likely be the first hit. [16:29] i love linux command linke [16:29] line* [16:29] (i cant type today lol) [16:30] update-manager launched it [16:30] right. [16:30] I don't think AIR is in the repos though? [16:30] not sure [16:30] i forget how i installed it to tell you the truth :) [16:30] it's not. [16:30] and if I recall correctly, Adobe dropped AIR support for Linux a while back. [16:31] yeah, which is the sad thing [16:31] as a lot of the programs i run need Air [16:31] I've used it all of five minutes myself, and that was a year ago, so I'm not sure. [16:32] a client i use for a blog that i work for uses something called Hipchat and they have a desktop app, but its in AIR :/ [16:34] that's what VirtualBox is for, no? :) [16:34] heh.. dont have a windows install CD :) [16:34] and i have windows on the main partition :P [16:35] unless it's Windows XP, I think you can convert it. [16:35] well... You can convert XP as well, but that takes a weekend. :) [16:42] there will be a wayland preview in precise? [16:45] jo-erlend, sorry, was AFK [16:45] meh, ill just use windows as my main for now still [16:47] lupzz, we have wayland-demos. Seems to be the same version as in 11.10. [16:49] tweetdeck doesnt support ubuntu anymore? :S [16:49] lupzz, this is a very conservative release. I would expect things like that to be held until 12.10 or something. I'm looking forward to it myself. That and btrfs. [16:49] PatrickC, why do you say that? [16:50] cause they dont have it as supported on their website [16:50] oh, ok. [16:51] off to play my guitar for 24 minutes until the daily image is downloaded :> [16:52] that short to download? [16:52] lucky lol [16:56] hmm [16:56] i don't see files on my desktyop anymore [16:57] Ian_Corne, since..? [16:57] eurm [16:57] i normaly don't look at my desktop :p [16:57] so i have no idea [16:58] :) [16:59] there are some changes I don't like in Nautilus. For instance, the desktop folder is hidden from your home directory even if the folder isn't hidden. I think that's a bad thing to do with no config option. [17:01] I still see it in my home folder [17:03] you do? [17:03] heh.. So do I now. Only a couple of days ago, I didn't. :) [17:05] D [17:05] an error ? [17:07] probably. [17:08] it annoyed me for about five minutes and then I moved onto something else to annoy me. :) [17:08] :D [17:08] I wouldn't really care about my desktop [17:10] im a mobile developer. computers are always annoying me with their stupid non-helpful error codes haha [17:12] jo-erlend, thanks. [17:28] Yesterday I started experiencing something when I use two-finger scrolling on my trackpad, the window that currently has focus will jump up several lines [17:29] Anyone else seeing that?
