| 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. | 00:36 |
| marknigh | It's Precise after an upgrade | 00:37 |
| marknigh | It hangs after Plymouth | 00:37 |

| coz_ | hey guys, I have chinese scattered all over the system ,, any solution? | 06:33 |

| snadge | format and reinstall before you are kidnapped and wake up in china missing body parts | 06:42 |
| coz_ | :) | 06:42 |
| 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 | 06:43 |
| 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 | 06:44 |
| coz_ | exactly or it is a bug | 06:45 |
| 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? | 07:50 |
| alkisg | This one? https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/xul-ext | 07:51 |
| urlin2u | alkisg, that k=link says it supports precise. | 07:52 |
| 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... | 07:53 | |
| 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 | 07:56 |
| urlin2u | alkisg, that is common with FF mine does it as well | 08:02 |
| * alkisg shrugs... thank you | 08:06 | |
| jo-erlend | is there some place where we can read details of the status from day to day about +1, like a journal? | 08:37 |
| Essobi | Umm.. in #ubuntu+1 on Freenode, is good I hear. | 08:38 |
| jo-erlend | no it isn't. It's a real-time media. | 08:41 |
| Essobi | Not if you leave it open and like... read it later. :D | 08:47 |

| aguitel | any new news about nvidia-173 drivers in precise ? | 12:19 |
| aguitel | iceroot, you readme ? | 12:35 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 12:54 |
| aguitel | is anyone upgrade oneric to precise ? | 13:43 |
| penguin42 | I did a month or so ago | 14:13 |
| aguitel | penguin42, it works until now ? | 14:19 |
| 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 | 14:20 |
| 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 | 14:21 |
| chmac | How do I install acroread? It's not showing up in the partners repo as yet. Grab it from oneiric? | 14:40 |
| 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 | 14:41 |
| 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... :-) | 14:42 |
| penguin42 | chmac: Ah I see, still worth giving Okular a go to see whether it will cope | 14:43 |
| 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 | 14:44 |
| penguin42 | chmac: Yeuch horrible! | 14:46 |
| chmac | I know! | 14:46 |
| 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 | 14:47 |
| chmac | lol | 14:48 |
| chmac | Can I safely clear /var/lib/apt/lists/ ? It's at 555M right now! | 14:51 |
| jtaylor | yes | 14:52 |
| jtaylor | how did it grow so large :O | 14:52 |
| penguin42 | 109 and 135M on my 2 machines here | 14:54 |
| chmac | I was downloading from several mirrors, so I cleaned out all the alternate mirrors, and now it's back to 110M. | 14:56 |
| 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. | 14:57 |
| chmac | Alright, 2.3G of disk space reclaimed... :-) | 14:58 |
| 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 | 15:00 |
| 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 | 15:01 | |
| jtaylor | might be interesting to try btrfs with compression if you need space | 15:02 |
| 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. | 15:03 |
| chmac | jtaylor: Thanks for the suggestion. | 15:04 |
| penguin42 | yeh it's difficult these days - especially during upgrades | 15:07 |
| 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, | 15:12 |
| 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 ? | 15:13 |
| oly | perhaps i need to put terminal into startup, so i can try launching unity manually | 15:14 |
| oly | as i cant launch new apps in the normal version :) but my startup apps launch fine :) | 15:15 |
| penguin42 | oly: I'm thinking of maybe a segfault logged in dmesg | 15:16 |
| 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 | 15:17 |
| 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 | 15:18 |
| oly | aha cool, beans will try that in a sec | 15:19 |
| yofel | talking about compression, I wonder if lzo support for grub2 will get into precise | 15:41 |
| yofel | it was added upstream | 15:41 |
| lucas-arg | hello, im having problem switching desktops in 12.04 no option in lightdm, am i missing something? | 16:53 |
| 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 | ? | 17:02 |
| 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. | 18:59 |
| urlin2u | the boot cd crashed as well as the install to be more precise, lol | 19:01 |
| urlin2u | and 32 bit | 19:02 |
| 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 | 19:42 |
| 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! | 19:43 |
| urlin2u | penguin42, yeah I'm happy it was easy I'm a older student, no biggie. | 19:44 |
| penguin42 | urlin2u: What hardware are you running on? | 19:47 |
| 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 | 19:53 |
| 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 | 19:54 |
| urlin2u | cool will boot to precise and do that | 19:55 |
| === JanC_ is now known as JanC | ||
| jbicha | lucas-arg: uninstall cinnamon and see if it helps ;) | 20:01 |
| 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 | 20:03 |
| penguin42 | urlin2u: when it crashes does it show a screen full of errors or just hang? | 20:04 |
| 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 ? | 20:05 |
| 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* | 20:06 |
| penguin42 | urlin2u: No problem | 20:07 |
| urlin2u | penguin42, cool | 20:07 |
| codepal | Hi, I want to test 12 | 20:48 |
| 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 | 20:50 |
| codepal | is this the right place to get the standard build? -- http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | 20:52 |
| jbicha | codepal: as long as you don't have GMA500, you should be fine with Intel graphics | 20:54 |
| codepal | G33/G31 :'( | 20:57 |
| jbicha | codepal: lubuntu uses lxde.org which is quite a bit different than what the standard Ubuntu uses | 20:57 |
| codepal | yeah, I'm a long-time lxde user... | 20:58 |
| codepal | I like light desktops | 20:58 |
| codepal | what's the process for getting organised to test 12.04? | 20:59 |
| penguin42 | jbicha: GMA500 has just gone into 3.3 I think, so that might be good for next time | 21:27 |
| lucas-arg | 12.04 quite stable so far... | 22:30 |
| 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? | 22:55 |
| Vadi-mobile_ | Does anyone know where to obtain the 'Unique Submission Key:' when submitting a checkbox report manually? | 23:15 |
| codepal | I've a install problem in Ubuntu 12.04 | 23:57 |
| codepal | :'( | 23:57 |
| 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? | 23:58 |
| 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 | 23:59 |
