| coz_ | hey guys, under gnome shell or even unity, I ctrl+alt+delete to bring up the shutdown dialog ui on previous ubuntu versions and gnome-session-save-kill to bring up the log off dialog UI however now the ctrl+alt+Delete brings up the log off dialog UI,,, is there another command for the shutdown daialog UI? | 09:37 |
| coz_ | 12.04 again | 09:37 |

| BluesKaj | Hey all | 13:35 |
| DaniG2k | guys I crashed my precise pangolin box with an update yesterday | 13:42 |
| DaniG2k | I think it had to do with a bug in X | 13:42 |
| DaniG2k | anyways, I've booted into the system with a liveCD | 13:42 |
| DaniG2k | and chrooted into the environment | 13:42 |
| DaniG2k | when I try to launch an apt-get update command though I get an error message | 13:43 |
| DaniG2k | such as | 13:43 |
| DaniG2k | Err http://it.archive.ubuntu.com precise/main Sources | 13:43 |
| DaniG2k | Something wicked happened resolving 'it.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) | 13:43 |
| DaniG2k | and I cant seem to fix this | 13:43 |
| DaniG2k | I've tried changing my sources.list to US servers | 13:43 |
| DaniG2k | Swiss servers | 13:43 |
| DaniG2k | but it doesn't work | 13:44 |
| DaniG2k | I'm not able to update my software so I'm unable to get the fixed X package | 13:44 |
| DaniG2k | can anyone offer some help? | 13:44 |
| iceroot | DaniG2k: you can "ping -c 4 google.com"? | 13:49 |
| iceroot | DaniG2k: or only "ping -c 4 8.8.8.8" | 13:49 |
| iceroot | ? | 13:49 |
| DaniG2k | nope | 13:49 |
| DaniG2k | must be a DNS problem | 13:49 |
| DaniG2k | not sure how to fix it though :S | 13:49 |
| iceroot | /etc/resolv.conf is your friend | 13:50 |
| DaniG2k | cat /etc/resolv.conf | 13:50 |
| DaniG2k | # Generated by NetworkManager | 13:50 |
| DaniG2k | that's all it says | 13:50 |
| DaniG2k | I guess I need to initialize network manager but i'm on a livecd now chrooted into the environment | 13:51 |
| Ian_Corne | Daekdroom: | 13:52 |
| Ian_Corne | dani | 13:52 |
| Ian_Corne | he's gone.. | 13:52 |
| iceroot | ... | 13:52 |
| Ian_Corne | to bad | 13:52 |
| Ian_Corne | sorry was alt tabbing | 13:52 |
| Ian_Corne | err -alt | 13:52 |
| iceroot | there should be a big warning "dont use 12.04 if you dont know what you are doing" | 13:52 |
| Ian_Corne | and have joins and quits on ignore | 13:52 |
| Ian_Corne | idd :p | 13:52 |
| BluesKaj | DaniG2k, the there's no way getting around NM , it will aleays generate the nameserver and overwrite any manual settings on the next boot | 13:53 |
| iceroot | DaniG2k: nameserver 127.0.0.1 | 13:53 |
| BluesKaj | in resolv.conf | 13:53 |
| DaniG2k | sorry i got disconnected | 13:53 |
| iceroot | DaniG2k: nameserver 8.8.8.8 | 13:53 |
| iceroot | DaniG2k: put that in your /etc/resolv.conf and do the upgrade | 13:54 |
| DaniG2k | should I add nameserver "127.0.0.1" to my resolv.conf? | 13:54 |
| iceroot | DaniG2k: only the line with 8.8.8.8, the one with 127.0.0,1 was a mistake | 13:54 |
| Ian_Corne | 127.0.0.1 is localhost | 13:54 |
| Ian_Corne | just fyi | 13:54 |
| BluesKaj | Nm will ogverwrite resplv.conf on the nexz boot | 13:55 |
| BluesKaj | resolv.conf | 13:55 |
| * BluesKaj cleans his glasses | 13:56 | |
| DaniG2k | great, it's working! | 13:57 |
| DaniG2k | thanks :D | 13:57 |
| DaniG2k | wow, one little mistake | 13:57 |
| DaniG2k | !! | 13:57 |
| Ian_Corne | tbh the error thrown by apt is not clear | 13:57 |
| Ian_Corne | the message gives hints to us | 13:57 |
| Ian_Corne | but to the untrained eye | 13:58 |
| Ian_Corne | it should show the same error you get when your browser failes to resolve a hostname | 13:58 |
| DaniG2k | yeah | 13:58 |
| DaniG2k | hmm but I don't know if simply upgrading my system will fix the main issue | 13:59 |
| DaniG2k | the main problem I was having was | 13:59 |
| DaniG2k | booting into pangolin after an X update | 13:59 |
| DaniG2k | it completely crashed X | 13:59 |
| DaniG2k | did this happen to other people here? | 13:59 |
| iceroot | DaniG2k: /var/log/syslog is a good start | 14:00 |
| BluesKaj | DaniG2k, do you plan to keep network manager with you permanent install , if so it will overwrite your dns/nameserver settings unless NM has a setting somewhere , I've forgotten , it's been so long since I used it. | 14:00 |
| DaniG2k | yeah network manager was working fine before | 14:01 |
| DaniG2k | i guess something changed with an update and messed the system up a bit | 14:01 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 14:01 |
| DaniG2k | I think this was the error with X | 14:02 |
| DaniG2k | kernel: [ 176.559673] unity-greeter[3183]: segfault at c ip 00ec0090 sp bfb075f0 error 4 | 14:03 |
| DaniG2k | in libindicator3.so.7.0.0[ebc000+c000] | 14:03 |
| DaniG2k | yeah that must be it | 14:03 |
| DaniG2k | is the unity-greeter broken? | 14:05 |
| jo-erlend | are there general breakages now? I'm unable to install either vlc or codecs for totem. | 14:19 |
| BluesKaj | totem ..ppl still use that ? | 14:20 |
| jo-erlend | yes, I like Totem very much. But I also can't install vlc, as I said. | 14:20 |
| Ian_Corne | I also use totem | 14:21 |
| Ian_Corne | jo-erlend: i still havbe broken packages waiting | 14:21 |
| Ian_Corne | (at home) | 14:21 |
| BluesKaj | jo-erlend, ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 14:22 |
| jo-erlend | BluesKaj, that's a meta package. If I can't install the packages it refers to, I won't be able to install that either. | 14:22 |
| jo-erlend | ehrm.. let me test that assumption. :) | 14:23 |
| jo-erlend | it actually seems that ubuntu-restricted-extras can be installed. Perhaps it uses the 64bit libs instead of the 32bit ones. That's fine. I have loads of RAM anyway :) | 14:25 |
| jo-erlend | BluesKaj, thanks for the suggestion. :) | 14:25 |
| DaniG2k | hmm I'm still getting an error when I boot my pangolin box | 14:28 |
| DaniG2k | X keeps crashing | 14:28 |
| DaniG2k | is this a known issue? | 14:29 |
| DaniG2k | it happened yesterday after an upgrade | 14:29 |
| Ziad | hello will the new ubuntu release work in old intel macs? | 14:41 |
| BluesKaj | jo-erlend, the default restricted-extras is whatever your arch you have installed, 64 or 32 | 14:42 |
| jo-erlend | BluesKaj, right. I use 64bit, but I think Totem wants to install 32bit codecs. Still won't play my videos though. | 14:43 |
| BluesKaj | jo-erlend, how about vlc , it works with mostly everything IME | 14:44 |
| jo-erlend | BluesKaj, as I told you before, I can't install vlc. | 14:44 |
| BluesKaj | jo-erlend, that's strange | 14:45 |
| jo-erlend | broken dependencies. | 14:45 |
| BluesKaj | missing some libs ? | 14:45 |
| Ziad | hi, ubuntu 11.10 does not work on mac right? | 14:47 |
| jo-erlend | yup. It was fine a couple of days ago, so I guess it's a temporary situation. | 14:47 |
| jo-erlend | Ziad, this channel is about Precise, not about 11.10. | 14:47 |
| Ziad | i have been trying for sevral weeks but no success | 14:47 |
| bazhang | Ziad, on intel macs? sure it does. as does 12.04 | 14:48 |
| jo-erlend | yup, I was going to tell him about the amd64+mac image, but he left too quickly :) | 14:48 |
| bazhang | ah he quit | 14:48 |
| BluesKaj | so you've run -f install and dpkg --configure -a , and dpkg --clear-avail , there's also sudo dpkg --remove --force-depends nameofpackage(s) , this last command can be tedious , but if you remove the right broken dependencies , it does work. | 14:49 |
| _Marcus | Is Ubuntu 12.04 stable? | 14:49 |
| _Marcus | Like, would it be good for everday use? | 14:49 |
| BluesKaj | _Marcus, not recommended for on the job | 14:50 |
| _Marcus | Oh, okay | 14:50 |
| _Marcus | Thanks | 14:50 |
| BluesKaj | for testing yes | 14:50 |
| blocky | does the alpha have HUD? | 14:50 |
| jo-erlend | blocky, no. | 14:51 |
| jo-erlend | it's not been definitely decided whether it will be included either. I personally hope it'll be postponed to QQ. | 14:52 |
| blocky | because it won't be ready? | 14:52 |
| BluesKaj | jo-erlend, did you see my post above about dependencies , sorry i should have used your nick | 14:52 |
| blocky | it's getting a lot of press coverage, thats how I heard about it | 14:53 |
| jo-erlend | blocky, that depends on what you mean by ready. I'm sure the current feature set can be made stable during the remaining three months, but I think it would be better to add it and replace the menus at the same time, and that can't happen in 12.04. | 14:53 |
| blocky | why not roll it out as optional in 12.04? | 14:54 |
| jo-erlend | that might be an option. | 14:55 |
| blocky | I guess it's a feature that's embedded within unity? | 14:55 |
| jo-erlend | but there's still time, so who knows. | 14:55 |
| jo-erlend | yes. | 14:55 |
| blocky | no chance of using it in gnome-shell? | 14:55 |
| jo-erlend | right. | 14:55 |
| blocky | okay | 14:55 |
| jo-erlend | well.. Gnome Shell developers could add support for it. | 14:55 |
| jo-erlend | but it wouldn't be automatic. | 14:55 |
| blocky | do you use unity for your main desktop? | 14:56 |
| jo-erlend | yes | 14:56 |
| blocky | if I install 12.04 and the ppa I can help test HUD? | 14:59 |
| Pici | blocky: I don't see why not. | 15:05 |
| === rigved is now known as Guest47803 | ||
| passeride | can i use 12.04 as my primary? | 15:41 |
| ikonia | as your primary what ? | 15:42 |
| jo-erlend | passeride, can you fix the problems that you must expect when using a development version? | 15:42 |
| jo-erlend | is so; yes, you can use Precise on your primary machine. As a development version, it's very good. However, it is undergoing active development and changes can suddenly cause big problems. If big problems is a problem to you, then you shouldn't. | 15:44 |

| DaniG2k | how do I switch back? | 17:38 |

| gnomefreak | reinstalling things dont always fix things | 17:43 |

| gnomefreak | DaniG2k: you cant get into a tty to log in? | 18:10 |
| DaniG2k | i can't access the terminal | 18:10 |
| DaniG2k | no | 18:10 |
| DaniG2k | that's why I'm doing it from livecd | 18:10 |
| gnomefreak | did you try using ctrl+alt+f2 | 18:11 |
| DaniG2k | yeah | 18:11 |
| gnomefreak | ok thats odd you shouldnt have lost your terms, they all work here for me | 18:11 |
| DaniG2k | it gets stuck in a loop that tries loading nvidia and then it shuts off, perpetually | 18:12 |
| DaniG2k | I even tried recovery mode | 18:12 |
| DaniG2k | I tried ctrl+alt+F1-12 | 18:12 |
| DaniG2k | nothing worked | 18:12 |
| DaniG2k | :( | 18:12 |
| gnomefreak | DaniG2k: than wait for enseven to add his files to bug and just add the same ones he does manually | 18:13 |
| emefarrr | DaniG2k: working on collecting logs. unfortunately i suck at accessing launchpad via lynx so it will take some time... | 18:13 |
| DaniG2k | thnx | 18:13 |
| gnomefreak | but at the very least attach /var/log/kern,log and /var/log/xorg | 18:13 |
| DaniG2k | ok | 18:13 |
| gnomefreak | ,=. today | 18:14 |
| trism | DaniG2k: what does apt-cache policy libindicator3-7; return | 18:15 |
| DaniG2k | Installed: 0.4.90-0ubuntu4 | 18:15 |
| trism | DaniG2k: alright, that is the latest one, thought maybe it might have something to do with the workaround in 0.4.90-0ubuntu3 (I have nvidia here too but I am not seeing this crash) | 18:17 |
| trism | DaniG2k: if you can, take a look at the logs in /var/log/lightdm/ as well, there may be clues, especially in the greeter log | 18:18 |
| DaniG2k | good catch | 18:19 |
| DaniG2k | there are some errors there | 18:19 |
| DaniG2k | WARNING: File '/usr/lib/indicators3/7/libdatetime.so' does not exist. | 18:19 |
| DaniG2k | and also CRITICAL: g_signal_connect_object: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed | 18:19 |
| DaniG2k | and some others as well | 18:19 |
| trism | that is the issue, install indicator-datetime | 18:21 |
| DaniG2k | k, that will install geoclue-ubuntu-geoip indicator-datetime | 18:21 |
| trism | unity-greeter should just ignore this though and move on, not go into an endless loop, crazy | 18:22 |
| trism | yes that is fine, as long as it didn't try to install geoclue-yahoo, which has other issues | 18:22 |
| DaniG2k | I'll try to reboot | 18:22 |
| trism | DaniG2k: might not even need it, I reinstall it and unity-greeter stopped the endless loop and started up | 18:22 |
| Ian_Corne | alt tab is broken | 18:23 |
| DaniG2k | hmm looking at the log file | 18:23 |
| DaniG2k | i also get this message: CRITICAL: g_error_free: assertion `error != NULL' failed | 18:23 |
| trism | DaniG2k: yeah those are fine (well, not fine but it should work with them) | 18:24 |
| DaniG2k | ok | 18:25 |
| DaniG2k | hope this works :D | 18:25 |
| trism | I see the issue I think, it doesn't check for a NULL indicator object when loading them | 18:29 |
| trism | yeah that seems to fix this issue anyway | 18:41 |
| spaetz | just updated my precise snapshot and lightdm enters an infitite crash-respawn cycle. | 19:18 |
| spaetz | everything works fine if I disable lightdm and start startxfce4 as a regular user though | 19:18 |
| spaetz | so the X server works generally | 19:18 |
| trism | spaetz: is indicator-datetime installed? | 19:20 |
| spaetz | no | 19:21 |
| spaetz | Xubuntu, without many of the indicator things | 19:21 |
| trism | spaetz: are you using unity-greeter though? | 19:21 |
| spaetz | I guess so, haven't disabled anything there. Let me check | 19:22 |
| spaetz | yes, unity-greeter is installed, so I presume that is being used | 19:23 |
| spaetz | haven't fiddled with the default setup beyond using xubuntu. | 19:23 |
| spaetz | dropping into a shell and invoking "lightdm" exhibits the inifiite cycle too, it's impossible to escape it. | 19:24 |
| trism | spaetz: install indicator-datetime then, I believe this is bug 921953 | 19:24 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 921953 in unity-greeter (Ubuntu) "Segfault at 18 ip 00007f5480428f6c sp 00007fffa8aa6760 error 4 in libindicator3.so.7.0.0" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/921953 | 19:24 |
| spaetz | I wonder if I need to pull up another machine and try to test via ssh | 19:24 |
| spaetz | k, let me test | 19:24 |
| spaetz | trismK, gone for a while, rebooting... | 19:25 |
| trism | spaetz: I'll be here waiting for unity-greeter to rebuild | 19:25 |
| trism | spaetz: it seems to occur with other indicators missing too, so if you are still having issues, check the greeter log in /var/log/lightdm/ for warnings about missing indicators | 19:27 |
| spaetz | YAY | 19:37 |
| spaetz | indicator-datetime fixed it | 19:37 |
| spaetz | So it was indeed that bug | 19:37 |
| urlin2u | So what is the process of reporting a panic on the daily cd crashes immediately at the desktop, has been doing this for weeks? | 20:20 |
| aguitel | iceroot, i have some problem ,i cannot report the nvidia-173 bug coz i change 12.04 to 11.10 and there is not problem with nvidia-173 | 22:15 |
| iceroot | aguitel: then open the bug on launchpad directly | 22:18 |
| iceroot | qinstead of using ubuntu-bug | 22:18 |
| iceroot | ubottu: ubuntu-bug linux | 22:18 |
| iceroot | urlin2u: ubuntu-bug linux | 22:18 |
| iceroot | urlin2u: panic = kernel panic i guess | 22:18 |
| iceroot | urlin2u: you are using an eeepc or msi wind (or something else with rt2800pci wifi)? | 22:19 |
| urlin2u | iceroot, lol never happened before to me in this extent | 22:19 |
| urlin2u | iceroot, acre d250 netbook all generic really. | 22:20 |
| urlin2u | acer | 22:20 |
| urlin2u | iceroot, Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) | 22:21 |
| iceroot | urlin2u: ok then its another bug | 22:21 |
| iceroot | urlin2u: you should open a bug against "linux" | 22:21 |
| urlin2u | iceroot, yeah very strange, so I need a launchpad account to report correct? | 22:22 |
| iceroot | urlin2u: yes | 22:22 |
| urlin2u | iceroot, do i have to set up te key and all that? | 22:22 |
| iceroot | urlin2u: its easy to create one and worth having one | 22:22 |
| urlin2u | the | 22:22 |
| iceroot | urlin2u: the key? | 22:22 |
| urlin2u | iceroot, there is a key for having a page of some sort I think not sure really I had an account and with no use it was deactivated, so the process is not familiar to me. | 22:23 |
| iceroot | urlin2u: sorry i dont know what you mean | 22:24 |
| urlin2u | a code of conduct sign as well. | 22:24 |
| iceroot | urlin2u: that is not needed for reporting bugs | 22:24 |
| iceroot | urlin2u: also the pgp or ssh key is not needed for reporting bugs | 22:25 |
| urlin2u | iceroot, cool I will get to it when I have time, thanks for that last confirmation. | 22:25 |
| urlin2u | I'm going to try a disc I just loaded I was using a thumb, it may be the problem, not sure how but you never know. | 22:26 |
| Crazytails | How do I changed the system fonts and default session, in 12.04 ? | 23:09 |
| Crazytails | I want to use Unity-2D because I'm testing it in a virtual machine. | 23:09 |
| urlin2u | iceroot, hey I got installed using a disc, I also removed a sdhc card when booting the disc as well for general info here, the thumb and sdhc card should not be part of the equation here but that was how I proceeded to cut out any posssible problems. | 23:14 |
| blocky | if I want to install 12.04 is it better to download the alpha iso or upgrade from 11.10 | 23:29 |
