DeithrianIs there a way to make iBus work with Opera and Kate in Kubuntu?00:14

blairon my 11.10 system it looks like all python modules provide 2.6 and 2.7 versions, while 12.04 only provides 2.7?02:21
bazhang!info python02:22
ubottupython (source: python-defaults): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version). In component main, is important. Version 2.7.2-9ubuntu2 (precise), package size 163 kB, installed size 657 kB02:22
bazhangblair, yes, why do you need something else?02:22
blairyes, i work for sony pictures imageworks and we have ~500 desktops with people doing maya02:23
blaircurrently we're on fedora 13 and i'm pitching to go to 12.0402:23
blairmaya won't be going to python 2.7 for a while and if the distro doesn't provide 2.6 bindings, then that's a lot of work for us to compile modules02:24
blairthis was going to be one of my selling points02:24
blairwho can i email/speak to about getting python modules to build 2.6 also?02:26

skierpageI upgraded to 12.04 Kubuntu Alpha 2 for amd64, and it installed a bunch of i386 packages, and every day wants to install more.05:58
skierpageI think the only 32-bit program I use is wine1.3, yet it wants to install e.g. bluez-alsa (i386), libgtk3-bin (i386), etc. Is this the new multi-arch approach?06:02
skierpageIs it the case that any time you install any library you install in both /usr/lib/x86_64 and /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ ?07:23
skierpageWhy do I still have /usr/lib32 and /usr/lib/ie86-linux-gnu ?07:29
skierpageWell, thanks for the enlightening explanation.07:37
skierpageI have a /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch file containing "foreign-architecture i386" , if I get rid of it will Ubuntu stop installing the i386 version of every package?08:00
micahgskierpage: multiarch is part of precise, you shouldn't disable it unless you know what you're doing08:06
micahghttp://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/08:06
skierpagemicahg I've read that. I have an amd64 system, the only 64-bit app I know about is Wine1.3, yet during package updates my system installs the i386 versions of almost everything.08:08
skierpagesorry I mean only 32-bit app I have is wine1.3.08:08
micahgright, as wine is not a 64 bit app08:08
micahg*pure 64 bit08:08
skierpagemicahg, right. But why is it offering to install e.g. bluez-alsa (i386), which surely isn't required by my 32-bit apps.08:09
micahgskierpage: see ia32-libs-multiarch08:10
zzecoolyou can have some 32bit app running ona 64bit system if you have installed the 32bit libraries     ia32-libs08:10
zzecoolmicahg: you got me in the corner ;p08:10
micahgit basically pulls in the equivalent of the old ia32-libs package08:10
zzecoolIf the application only needs some 32bit libraries you can run it easy if you install "ia32-libs"08:11
skierpagezzecool, I do have ia32-libs installed. So my system is going to blindly install the 32-bit version of every library for as long as I run Wine1.3? (!)08:11
zzecoolif the application has other 32bit dependencies its a no no08:12
zzecoolskierpage: yes08:12
zzecoolexactly08:12
zzecooland it not a problem its not many after all08:12
skierpagezzecool, time to buy more disk ;-)08:12
zzecoolno no08:12
micahgskierpage: no, not at all, it's because of the dependency on ia32-libs which pulls in ia32-libs-multiarch08:12
zzecoolits not that much08:12
zzecoolIm also running 64bit ubuntu and have the 32bit libraries installed08:13
skierpageI guess you're right, 113M /usr/lib32 and 191M /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu. (I thought one was going to be a symlink to the other?)08:13
zzecoolto be able torun adibe air - Tweetdeck08:13
zzecooladobe air*08:14
skierpageI hope Ubuntu gets a more user-friendly explanation than what Debian offers.update08:15
skierpage What's confusing as hell is the system updaters tells me about all these i386 versions of packages, but I can't run `aptitude why bluez-alsa (i386)` for an explanation.08:16
micahgskierpage: aptitude isn't multiarch aware yet08:17
micahgbut it does work :) aptitude why bluez-alsa:i38608:17
micahgalbeit not as clear08:18
skierpagemicahg alright, the colon! That helps a lot, thanks. Shame the KDE Muon package installer shows " (i386)" instead of "i386".08:19
skierpageI mean ":386".08:20
skierpagemicahg, you should write some Ubuntu wiki page explaining Multiarch in 12.04  that no one will ever find in Google search results.08:21
zzecoolIm so happy with precise it feels HELL ALOT  faster and smoother than oneiric08:22
skierpage% aptitude why bluez-alsa:i38608:22
skierpagei   wine1.3             Depends  ia32-libs (>= 1.6)08:22

magn3tsHello. I've come to beg for the 6th release of ubuntu in a row that mouse pointers are fixed.09:19
magn3tscursors rather, but all the same.09:19
ikoniain what way is there a problem ?09:20
magn3tsselect anything other than the default cursor theme in gnome's appearance dialog.09:20
magn3tsand then watch it not appear?09:20
magn3tsalso, for many cursor themes, they simply refuse to show up (at least in gnome2, haven't checked those set of themes in gnome3 yet)09:21
zzecoolFudge: you need the gconf editor09:21
ikoniais there a bug logged for it ?09:21
ikoniasounds like a reasonably high priority bug09:21
zzecooli dont know any other09:21
magn3tsikonia: I don't remember what I found last time I searched Launchpad for it. I'll check09:21
ikoniamagn3ts: if there is a bug, push it with the desktop theme09:21
ikoniamagn3ts: begging in an IRC channel won't get anything fixed,09:22
magn3tsfair enough09:22
ikoniamagn3ts: pushing a well logged bug with the correct team and assisting where possible, will move it forward09:23
zzecoolFudge:  install the gconf editor   -----------> run it ----------> apps ----------> metacity  -------------> general -----------> num_workspaces  change this from "1" to the number of workspaces you wanna have09:23

BluesKajnotlistening, check on launchpad13:20
notlisteningchecked there does not seem to be anything like that there13:23
chmacIn Evolution, I search for messages, open one, then ctrl-pgup or pgdn to move messages. I move between all messages in the folder, not the search results. Is this true for everyone else?13:38
notlisteningchmac try holding down pageup or pagedown on your message list, err crash :P13:39
chmacnotlistening: Doesn't crash for me, just holding pageup when viewing the message list?13:40

notlisteningIt used to crash anyways13:41

BLZbubbahowdy13:50
BLZbubbalooks like precise server still loads upstart & plymouth, any chance of fixing that design flaw?  at least the server should default to showing the grub selection and no splash screen at all13:52
BLZbubbai loved 8.04 and hated 10.04, i really want to use ubuntu again with 12.0413:53
BLZbubbabut running upstart on a server is going to be a tough sell13:53
BLZbubbais there a way to log what upstart is doing, and also a verbose boot mode to see where it is failing?13:54
BLZbubbamy first precise install comes up with a blank screen and blinking cursor13:55
BLZbubbaat least i can get to virtual terminals13:55
BLZbubbabig improvement over 10.0413:55
chmacnotlistening: Ok, phew, that makes me feel better (which is silly, because it would have been easier to fix if it was just me!)13:55
BLZbubbaplus it looks like bond0 + 802.3ad is broken13:55
BLZbubbaalso, the rescue ramdisk doesn't have gdisk13:59
BLZbubbaparted is horrible in comparison13:59
BLZbubbaany chance of getting these fixed?14:01

moo-i hate unity18:42
moo-how do iget gnome classic back?18:42
jtaylorinstall mint18:44
jtaylorgnome classic is gone from everything but that distro to my knowledge, though older still supported ones still have it18:45
PiciI think moo- means the gnome3-classic-mode thing18:45
Picinot gnome218:45
trismgnome classic is still there, gnome-panel was just updated today18:45
moo-yes i want gnome318:46
moo-with gnome-session-classic tha install gnome-panel18:46
moo-but the latest update broke it for me so it logins to unity instead18:46
moo-unity is much better in 12.04 than it was in 11.04, but i still dont like it18:46
trismmoo-: you selected gnome classic in the session selector before logging in?18:47

cmyrlandHi all.. So I'm installing Ubuntu on my friend's old laptop for him to play with, and everything works fine.. of course.. except, of course, the wlan. The chip is a Broadcom BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN accoding to lshw, and ubuntu installs the b43 driver.. but nothing happens. The wireless is dead. It doesn't even appear in the network indicator when b43 is installed.. The card's product name is BCM94311MCG, and all forum posts I can find are from 200820:29
cmyrlandand they recommend ndiswrapper oO20:29
holsteincmyrland: i would say visit #ubuntu ..this is for the 12.04 release.. although, for me.. sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer usually does the trick20:33
cmyrlandholstein, I'm using 12.04 ;) The problem was the same with 11.10 though20:34
holsteinif you must have ndis, just use the ndisgtk GUI20:34
holsteincmyrland: 12.04 is *not* supported right now20:34
cmyrlandI know, I'm just asking around in case there's soe regression going on or whatever20:35
holsteinthis is what i refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx20:35
cmyrlandbrb, I'll just do a reboot to be sure I've not messed anything up before trying20:37
cmyrlandholstein, firmware was the culprit, all right. But why doesn't the restricted drivers-app install firmware, or at least offer it? I think it used to do that..?20:41
cmyrlandthanks for your help, this laptop is now wireless and smokin'20:42
aBoundHas anybody on Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha 2 seen any improvements on battery life while using the newer kernel on a laptop?21:23
yofelwell, it's slightly better than 11.04 here21:29
aBoundUsing 11.10 here.21:37
aBoundBy default I get about 2 and a half hours to 2 hours and 40 minutes.21:38
aBoundFigures, I'd come in here and check to see what somebody else might have on there laptop. Using the newer kernel.21:39
m4yerwell, time is relative ;) got about 12-14 hours here.21:40
aBoundOn your laptop? You're kidding right.21:41
aBoundI know the Macbook is supposed to get around 7hrs but 12-14 hours dang.21:42
m4yerno, thinkpad x220 with 9 cells, but btt, i guess precise brought about 20 minutes to half an hour (if any ;) )21:43
aBoundAhh, no wonder I think I got a 3 to 6 cell battery.21:45
urlin2uManehattan, unetbootin does'nt have a download for 12.04 nor does it check the md5sum.21:46
Manehattanurlin2u: After a reboot, I chose "install without trying" and now it runs through21:47
urlin2uManehattan, cool. :)21:47
Manehattanurlin2u: But unetbootin does have an option "Daily LiveCD" and that one claims to be 12.04 in the installation21:48
aBoundm4yer, Is all of your hardware on your thinkpad supported by Ubuntu?21:48
ManehattanI have to use that one too, since 11.10 and before will install but not boot on this laptop21:48
brodockanyone got 12.04 working on a virtualbox?21:49
ManehattanOh my god YES! It boots! it boots! After only 2 weeks I was able to install an ubuntu on this machine!21:49
m4yeraBound: yes. works everything fine.21:49
urlin2uManehattan, hmm I looked and missed that, personally I always just download the iso then load it.21:49
aBoundHmm, looks like I'll have to grab one of those in a couple of years.21:50
aBoundCause that battery life is insane. :P21:50
m4yerthat was one of the main reasons ;)21:50
Manehattanurlin2u: Seriously, someone should write a findable tutorial for ubuntu with uefi21:52
aBoundHA!21:53
urlin2uManehattan, you mean like this with ubuntu uefi in the search. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting21:53
urlin2uManehattan, gotta have some google foo chops21:53
urlin2u:)21:54
Manehattanyeah that one helped me no bit21:54
urlin2uManehattan, was it that you didn't understand it?21:55
Manehattanurlin2u: It was that it semed to be orthogonal to my problem21:55
aBoundWow, read the tech specs on this top of the line Thinkpad and they have a 9-Cell battery plus slice battery up to 21hrs.21:55
Manehattanit should just say "create an extra uefi boot partition like so, then proceed"21:56
urlin2uManehattan, is this your first shot at open source or ubuntu, does not seem so just asking?21:57
ManehattanaBound: I'd be careful... they claimed my new laptop can have up to 9 hours but up to now I got to to live for 321:57
Manehattanurlin2u: I've been an ubuntu user for 4 years, and a computer scientist21:57
aBoundManehattan, I know what you mean they can claim certain things but you don't know for sure. But it does sound amazing 21hrs is almost a whole day.21:58
urlin2uManehattan, cool, personally I learned from the school of hard knock, I have rarely asked for help or used a wiki, just spent a lot of time on the ubuntu forums and the IRC21:58
aBoundIt will be a while before I get a new laptop seeing as this one is still pretty new.21:59
urlin2ubut I'm a amateur as well21:59
Manehattanurlin2u: The more I do these things the more I still see myself as a noob21:59
urlin2ulol I'm with you there.21:59
urlin2u;)21:59
Manehattanurlin2u: So yes, the adventure began two weeks ago with the purchase of a new laptop22:00
ManehattanInstalled ubuntu, it wouldn't boot22:00
aBoundAlright thanks guys I'm hopping outta here.22:01
Manehattanworked myself through the systems, had a gentoo with grub legacy, that one would boot22:01
Manehattanbuilt it up and it worked22:01
Manehattanthen they brought new pcs into my office at work, I snatched one, installed ubuntu22:02
Manehattanit wouldn't boot22:02
Manehattansuspicious22:02
Manehattanlearned about uefi and all that22:02
Manehattanand finally made it22:03
Manehattanso now I am the only one in the offices who can install an ubuntu, go me22:03
urlin2uManehattan, now you can have that distinctive Ubuntu swagger. :)22:05
Manehattanurlin2u: Un-fire-able!22:05
