[00:36] <marknigh> Hi all, Did an upgrade of Precise this morning. It get's to a point in boot up to where it has a problem with Plymouth and then it flashes back and forth from a cursor on a black screen to the boot up check list. If I mess with it enough  it says there is a graphics problem and prompts me to proceed with minimal graphics. I can view logs and such but that's about it. I boot up with 10.04 with no problem. That's what I'm on. I went to F1 terminal and
[00:36] <marknigh> updated and upgraded but still stuck.
[00:37] <marknigh> It's Precise after an upgrade
[00:37] <marknigh> It hangs after Plymouth
[00:57] <Fudge> aplay -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/819518/
[00:57] <Fudge> having trouble getting audio to work, doesnt seem like i have a driver loaded, should i pastebin anything else?
[01:41] <coz_> ok guys, just did dist-upgrade and now i have japanese as main language :)
[01:42] <coz_> how do I change language in gnome3?
[01:43] <coz_> I think I found it, nevermind
[03:13] <urlin2u> So anyone seeing any problems with libreoffice open fine but has a lot of symbols added to documents
[03:13] <urlin2u> opens*
[03:34] <urlin2u> So anyone seeing any problems with libreoffice opens fine but has a lot of symbols added to documents already made?
[03:44] <urlin2u> formatting seemed to be set weird all fixed
[06:33] <coz_> hey guys, I have chinese scattered all over the system ,, any solution?
[06:33] <coz_> chinese font rather
[06:37] <coz_> here's an example of what I  mean   http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshots/Screenshot%20at%202012-01-28%2001%3A35%3A43.png
[06:42] <snadge> youve been hacked by a chinger
[06:42] <snadge> format and reinstall before you are kidnapped and wake up in china missing body parts
[06:42] <coz_> :)
[06:43] <snadge> haha thats cool
[06:43] <coz_> snadge,  cute, :), but do you have a solution
[06:43] <snadge> umm no, maybe check your locale seetings
[06:43] <snadge> i cant remember how
[06:43] <coz_> snadge,  did that, this happened after dist-upgrade
[06:44] <snadge> hmm, thats an odd one
[06:44] <coz_> right
[06:44] <coz_> never had this happen in 8 years
[06:44] <snadge> something is set to chinese somewhere
[06:44] <snadge> the question is, what
[06:45] <coz_> exactly or it is a bug
[07:50] <alkisg> Hi, I'm looking for an adblock-plus.deb package for Precise, I know those were removed from the archive but I thought they'd be available in a PPA, would anyone know which PPA?
[07:51] <alkisg> This one? https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/xul-ext
[07:52] <urlin2u> alkisg, that k=link says it supports precise.
[07:53] <urlin2u> isn't it a FF addon?
[07:53] <alkisg> Yes, it is
[07:53] <alkisg> I'm trying to find a global way to install it, instead of telling thousands of users to separately install it themselves
[07:53]  * alkisg tries installing from that ppa...
[07:56] <alkisg> Hmm it worked but I got a prompt "are you sure you want to install this extension? firefox needs to be restarted... etc" when I launched firefox after the .deb installation
[08:02] <urlin2u> alkisg, that is common with FF mine does it as well
[08:06]  * alkisg shrugs... thank you
[08:37] <jo-erlend> is there some place where we can read details of the status from day to day about +1, like a journal?
[08:38] <Essobi> Umm.. in #ubuntu+1 on Freenode, is good I hear.
[08:41] <jo-erlend> no it isn't. It's a real-time media.
[08:47] <Essobi> Not if you leave it open and like... read it later. :D
[12:19] <aguitel> any new news about nvidia-173 drivers in precise ?
[12:35] <aguitel> iceroot, you readme ?
[12:54] <BluesKaj> Hiyas  all
[13:43] <aguitel> is anyone upgrade oneric to precise ?
[14:13] <penguin42> I did a month or so ago
[14:19] <aguitel> penguin42, it works until now ?
[14:20] <penguin42> aguitel: The upgrade went well then, and I've been doing upgrades every week since then - occasionally some things break; but not too bad
[14:21] <aguitel> penguin42, what is your video card ?
[14:21] <penguin42> aguitel: I'm running two systems with PP - one with Intel, and one with Radeon (using the open driver)
[14:21] <aguitel> ok
[14:40] <chmac> How do I install acroread? It's not showing up in the partners repo as yet. Grab it from oneiric?
[14:41] <penguin42> chmac: Yeh that's probably the easiest; however, have you tried some of the free pdf readers?  I find Okular (that comes with KDE) nicer than the default Gnome one
[14:42] <chmac> penguin42: evince works fine, except for fancy forms created in some BS proprietary nonsense...
[14:42] <chmac> The joy of applying for foreign visas... :-)
[14:43] <penguin42> chmac: Ah I see, still worth giving Okular a go to see whether it will cope
[14:44] <chmac> penguin42: Pretty sure it won't, I read that only acrobat works. :-( http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/faq/if-this-message-is-not-eventually-replaced-by-the-proper-contents-of-the-document.php
[14:46] <penguin42> chmac: Yeuch horrible!
[14:46] <chmac> I know!
[14:47] <chmac> Even worse that the government of Canada publishes documents in this format.
[14:47] <penguin42> and I always thought Candians were harmless!
[14:47] <penguin42> a
[14:48] <chmac> lol
[14:51] <chmac> Can I safely clear /var/lib/apt/lists/ ? It's at 555M right now!
[14:52] <jtaylor> yes
[14:52] <jtaylor> how did it grow so large :O
[14:54] <penguin42> 109 and 135M on my 2 machines here
[14:56] <chmac> I was downloading from several mirrors, so I cleaned out all the alternate mirrors, and now it's back to 110M.
[14:57] <chmac> I've got /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8/10/11/12/13 folders, but those kernels are not installed, also safe to wipe?
[14:57] <jtaylor> are the header packages still installed?
[14:57] <chmac> jtaylor: Nope, no header packages installed, but maybe it dates back to my pre-precise install.
[14:57] <chmac> I'm not 100% certain if the / partition was reformatted or not.
[14:58] <chmac> Alright, 2.3G of disk space reclaimed... :-)
[15:00] <chmac> Is /usr/lib/libreoffice really ~380M? Seems awfully high...
[15:00] <jtaylor> libreoffice is a large package
[15:00] <jtaylor> alone the download is ~70mb so 380 unpacked is realistic
[15:01] <chmac> My /usr dir is 3.4G!
[15:01] <chmac> Oh well, I'm back to a reasonable size overall for /, so that's fine.
[15:01] <chmac> Thanks for the help
[15:01]  * penguin42 hopes the LO cleanup they're doing will help shrink it
[15:02] <jtaylor> might be interesting to try btrfs with compression if you need space
[15:03] <chmac> My root partition is 7.5G, 2.3G free right now, so it seems ok. Just don't want to have to repartition. I'm on a 128G SSD running full disk encryption, so space is at a premium.
[15:04] <chmac> jtaylor: Thanks for the suggestion.
[15:07] <penguin42> yeh it's difficult these days - especially during upgrades
[15:12] <oly> hi, has anyone else experienced a problem with the unity launcher bar not loading, it seems to work fine in 2d but not on the normal desktop, i have icons on the desktop and apps launch etc just no bar or unity ?
[15:12] <oly> i have had this for quite a few weeks now was kind of expecting it to rectify itself at some point,
[15:13] <penguin42> oly: I haven't had that; do you get any errors anywhere? What graphics card are you using?
[15:13] <oly> its fglrx, so i did wonder if its related to the card
[15:13] <oly> i dont see any error, where would they be logged for unity ?
[15:14] <oly> perhaps i need to put terminal into startup, so i can try launching unity manually
[15:15] <oly> as i cant launch new apps in the normal version :) but my startup apps launch fine :)
[15:16] <penguin42> oly: I'm thinking of maybe a segfault logged in dmesg
[15:17] <penguin42> oly: You could try starting the unity stuff in a terminal and see if it immediately crashes
[15:17] <oly> yeah i will try that just there is no way to launch a terminal, but if i chuck it in the startup that should work
[15:18] <penguin42> oly: Ah ok, so ctrl-alt-f1 should get you a textual logon, in there do export DISPLAY=:0.0  then gnome-terminal &   then ctrl-alt-f7 (or maybe f8) to get back to the graphical
[15:19] <oly> aha cool, beans will try that in a sec
[15:41] <yofel> talking about compression, I wonder if lzo support for grub2 will get into precise
[15:41] <yofel> it was added upstream
[16:53] <lucas-arg> hello, im having problem switching desktops in 12.04 no option in lightdm, am i missing something?
[17:02] <maldive> hi, i just upgraded my system including X and nvidia-current and now x won't start
[17:02] <maldive> is this a common problem=
[17:02] <maldive> ?
[18:59] <urlin2u> So I had a crashing precise at the start of the desktop turned out top be the pae kernel I have just 2 gigs and don't need it, it seems a autoadde to the download not familiar with the changes happening.
[19:01] <urlin2u> the boot cd crashed as well as the install to be more precise, lol
[19:02] <urlin2u> and 32 bit
[19:42] <penguin42> urlin2u: If you're getting a crash with the PAE kernel it would still be good to report it - that really shouldn't happen
[19:43] <lucas-arg> im having problems login into cinnamon, any ideas?
[19:43] <urlin2u> penguin42, yeah I haven't had the time I'm swamped with my college course stuff this is my graduating semester
[19:43] <penguin42> urlin2u: Ah, well good look with that!
[19:44] <urlin2u> penguin42, yeah I'm happy it was easy I'm a older student, no biggie.
[19:47] <penguin42> urlin2u: What hardware are you running on?
[19:53] <urlin2u> penguin42, a acer d250 netbook maed to 2 gigs ram 32 bit
[19:53] <urlin2u> maxed
[19:53] <penguin42> I remember there have been a few people on here with problems with d250's
[19:53] <urlin2u> penguin42, you want my lspci in a pastebin?
[19:53] <penguin42> no, it wont help me
[19:54] <urlin2u> cool
[19:54] <penguin42> urlin2u: if you could run ubuntu-bug linux in a terminal in it and comment in the bug that it was the PAE version that failed it would be good
[19:54] <penguin42> if you get a chance
[19:55] <urlin2u> cool  will boot to precise and do that
[20:01] <jbicha> lucas-arg: uninstall cinnamon and see if it helps ;)
[20:03] <urlin2u> penguin42, I just had another crash I think it is the sdhc card I had removed, it has a windows psuedo swap on it that may be the actual problem here.
[20:03] <urlin2u> not sure really
[20:04] <penguin42> urlin2u: when it crashes does it show a screen full of errors or just hang?
[20:05] <urlin2u> penguin42, goes to text says something about return to tty but freezes before getting there. The reisub command does not reboot it as well
[20:05] <aguitel> is anyone using nvidia-173 drivers in 12.04 ?
[20:06] <urlin2u> penguin42, running now without the sdhc but getting errors to report, I just don'y\t have the time right now I have to et to the paper due on momday.
[20:06] <urlin2u> get*
[20:07] <penguin42> urlin2u: No problem
[20:07] <urlin2u> penguin42, cool
[20:48] <codepal> Hi, I want to test 12
[20:50] <codepal> what difference does the lubuntu 12.04 have over the standard?
[20:50] <codepal> I'm kinda worried that all the new bling won't work on my budge Intel GMA graphics card
[20:52] <codepal> is this the right place to get the standard build? -- http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[20:54] <jbicha> codepal: as long as you don't have GMA500, you should be fine with Intel graphics
[20:57] <codepal> G33/G31 :'(
[20:57] <jbicha> codepal: lubuntu uses lxde.org which is quite a bit different than what the standard Ubuntu uses
[20:58] <codepal> yeah, I'm a long-time lxde user...
[20:58] <codepal> I like light desktops
[20:59] <codepal> what's the process for getting organised to test 12.04?
[21:27] <penguin42> jbicha: GMA500 has just gone into 3.3 I think, so that might be good for next time
[22:30] <lucas-arg> 12.04 quite stable so far...
[22:55] <Vadi-mobile> Bug reporting is giving this error: "Cannot connect to crash database, please check your Internet connection.  <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>" when I am clearly connected to the Internet. Is the database down?
[23:15] <Vadi-mobile_> Does anyone know where to obtain the 'Unique Submission Key:' when submitting a checkbox report manually?
[23:57] <codepal> I've a install problem in Ubuntu 12.04
[23:57] <codepal> :'(
[23:58] <codepal> I've gparted a SSD drive as ext4, want to manually configure the partition in the installer to use that drive & then installer crashes
[23:58] <codepal> how do I report this?
[23:59] <penguin42> codepal: Run ubuntu-bug ubuiquity if you can get a terminal
[23:59] <codepal> done
[23:59] <codepal> ta
[23:59] <penguin42> and say the bug number on here and someone might be able to spot something
