=== Crazytails is now known as Guest64782 [00:36] 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] updated and upgraded but still stuck. [00:37] It's Precise after an upgrade [00:37] It hangs after Plymouth [00:57] aplay -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/819518/ [00:57] having trouble getting audio to work, doesnt seem like i have a driver loaded, should i pastebin anything else? [01:41] ok guys, just did dist-upgrade and now i have japanese as main language :) [01:42] how do I change language in gnome3? [01:43] I think I found it, nevermind [03:13] So anyone seeing any problems with libreoffice open fine but has a lot of symbols added to documents [03:13] opens* === Guest64782 is now known as Crazytails === Adys_ is now known as Adys [03:34] So anyone seeing any problems with libreoffice opens fine but has a lot of symbols added to documents already made? [03:44] formatting seemed to be set weird all fixed [06:33] hey guys, I have chinese scattered all over the system ,, any solution? [06:33] chinese font rather [06:37] 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] youve been hacked by a chinger [06:42] format and reinstall before you are kidnapped and wake up in china missing body parts [06:42] :) [06:43] haha thats cool [06:43] snadge, cute, :), but do you have a solution [06:43] umm no, maybe check your locale seetings [06:43] i cant remember how [06:43] snadge, did that, this happened after dist-upgrade [06:44] hmm, thats an odd one [06:44] right [06:44] never had this happen in 8 years [06:44] something is set to chinese somewhere [06:44] the question is, what [06:45] exactly or it is a bug [07:50] 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] This one? https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/xul-ext [07:52] alkisg, that k=link says it supports precise. [07:53] isn't it a FF addon? [07:53] Yes, it is [07:53] 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] 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] alkisg, that is common with FF mine does it as well [08:06] * alkisg shrugs... thank you [08:37] is there some place where we can read details of the status from day to day about +1, like a journal? [08:38] Umm.. in #ubuntu+1 on Freenode, is good I hear. [08:41] no it isn't. It's a real-time media. [08:47] Not if you leave it open and like... read it later. :D === Hanmac1 is now known as Hanmac === yofel_ is now known as yofel [12:19] any new news about nvidia-173 drivers in precise ? [12:35] iceroot, you readme ? [12:54] Hiyas all [13:43] is anyone upgrade oneric to precise ? [14:13] I did a month or so ago [14:19] penguin42, it works until now ? [14:20] 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] penguin42, what is your video card ? [14:21] aguitel: I'm running two systems with PP - one with Intel, and one with Radeon (using the open driver) [14:21] ok [14:40] How do I install acroread? It's not showing up in the partners repo as yet. Grab it from oneiric? [14:41] 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] penguin42: evince works fine, except for fancy forms created in some BS proprietary nonsense... [14:42] The joy of applying for foreign visas... :-) [14:43] chmac: Ah I see, still worth giving Okular a go to see whether it will cope [14:44] 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] chmac: Yeuch horrible! [14:46] I know! [14:47] Even worse that the government of Canada publishes documents in this format. [14:47] and I always thought Candians were harmless! [14:47] a [14:48] lol [14:51] Can I safely clear /var/lib/apt/lists/ ? It's at 555M right now! [14:52] yes [14:52] how did it grow so large :O [14:54] 109 and 135M on my 2 machines here [14:56] I was downloading from several mirrors, so I cleaned out all the alternate mirrors, and now it's back to 110M. [14:57] 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] are the header packages still installed? [14:57] jtaylor: Nope, no header packages installed, but maybe it dates back to my pre-precise install. [14:57] I'm not 100% certain if the / partition was reformatted or not. [14:58] Alright, 2.3G of disk space reclaimed... :-) [15:00] Is /usr/lib/libreoffice really ~380M? Seems awfully high... [15:00] libreoffice is a large package [15:00] alone the download is ~70mb so 380 unpacked is realistic [15:01] My /usr dir is 3.4G! [15:01] Oh well, I'm back to a reasonable size overall for /, so that's fine. [15:01] Thanks for the help [15:01] * penguin42 hopes the LO cleanup they're doing will help shrink it [15:02] might be interesting to try btrfs with compression if you need space [15:03] 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] jtaylor: Thanks for the suggestion. [15:07] yeh it's difficult these days - especially during upgrades [15:12] 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] i have had this for quite a few weeks now was kind of expecting it to rectify itself at some point, [15:13] oly: I haven't had that; do you get any errors anywhere? What graphics card are you using? [15:13] its fglrx, so i did wonder if its related to the card [15:13] i dont see any error, where would they be logged for unity ? [15:14] perhaps i need to put terminal into startup, so i can try launching unity manually [15:15] as i cant launch new apps in the normal version :) but my startup apps launch fine :) [15:16] oly: I'm thinking of maybe a segfault logged in dmesg [15:17] oly: You could try starting the unity stuff in a terminal and see if it immediately crashes [15:17] 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] 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] aha cool, beans will try that in a sec [15:41] talking about compression, I wonder if lzo support for grub2 will get into precise [15:41] it was added upstream [16:53] hello, im having problem switching desktops in 12.04 no option in lightdm, am i missing something? [17:02] hi, i just upgraded my system including X and nvidia-current and now x won't start [17:02] is this a common problem= [17:02] ? [18:59] 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] the boot cd crashed as well as the install to be more precise, lol [19:02] and 32 bit [19:42] 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] im having problems login into cinnamon, any ideas? [19:43] penguin42, yeah I haven't had the time I'm swamped with my college course stuff this is my graduating semester [19:43] urlin2u: Ah, well good look with that! [19:44] penguin42, yeah I'm happy it was easy I'm a older student, no biggie. [19:47] urlin2u: What hardware are you running on? [19:53] penguin42, a acer d250 netbook maed to 2 gigs ram 32 bit [19:53] maxed [19:53] I remember there have been a few people on here with problems with d250's [19:53] penguin42, you want my lspci in a pastebin? [19:53] no, it wont help me [19:54] cool [19:54] 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] if you get a chance [19:55] cool will boot to precise and do that === JanC_ is now known as JanC [20:01] lucas-arg: uninstall cinnamon and see if it helps ;) [20:03] 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] not sure really [20:04] urlin2u: when it crashes does it show a screen full of errors or just hang? [20:05] 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] is anyone using nvidia-173 drivers in 12.04 ? [20:06] 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] get* [20:07] urlin2u: No problem [20:07] penguin42, cool [20:48] Hi, I want to test 12 [20:50] what difference does the lubuntu 12.04 have over the standard? [20:50] I'm kinda worried that all the new bling won't work on my budge Intel GMA graphics card [20:52] is this the right place to get the standard build? -- http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [20:54] codepal: as long as you don't have GMA500, you should be fine with Intel graphics [20:57] G33/G31 :'( [20:57] codepal: lubuntu uses lxde.org which is quite a bit different than what the standard Ubuntu uses [20:58] yeah, I'm a long-time lxde user... [20:58] I like light desktops [20:59] what's the process for getting organised to test 12.04? [21:27] jbicha: GMA500 has just gone into 3.3 I think, so that might be good for next time [22:30] 12.04 quite stable so far... [22:55] Bug reporting is giving this error: "Cannot connect to crash database, please check your Internet connection. " when I am clearly connected to the Internet. Is the database down? [23:15] Does anyone know where to obtain the 'Unique Submission Key:' when submitting a checkbox report manually? [23:57] I've a install problem in Ubuntu 12.04 [23:57] :'( [23:58] 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] how do I report this? [23:59] codepal: Run ubuntu-bug ubuiquity if you can get a terminal [23:59] done [23:59] ta [23:59] and say the bug number on here and someone might be able to spot something
