ironhalikwell, I mouted the drive by uuid now00:44

ironhalikyeah, figured that one by myself :>00:46
crizzy-h is an useful switch for it00:46
ironhalikhmm, ok since sda1 is not mounted00:48
ironhalikit has no uuid, so does sda00:48
ironhalikand I want to dd whole sda00:48
ironhalikany id will do for that?00:48
valdur55ironhalik, you booted from grub?00:49
ironhalikno, from live usb00:49
valdur55ok :)00:49
valdur55btw. Use nautilus for hard drive mounting :)00:49
ironhalikI shouldnt mount it if Im dd'ing it00:50
valdur55ok.. maybe it isn't sda anymore...00:50
ironhalikwell, it is, according to udisks00:51
ironhalikah what the hell, ill try to dd it by path :)00:51
ironhalikbut either way, Ive got bad feelings about this :)00:53

mainerrorIs it intended that the launcher doesn't hide when a window is maximized?10:46
mainerrorThat doesn't feel right.10:49
robin0800mainerror: dodge has or is going to be removed so the choice is on or auto hide10:49
mainerroro-O10:50
mainerrorSo, no intellihide anymore?10:51
robin0800mainerror: no I think that was dodge10:52
mainerrorOh god ...10:54
mainerrorI've been an Unity fan since it was introduced but the removal of that feature might drive me away from it.10:55
mainerrorIt is absolutely absurd to hide the launcher when there is no window at all. I mean when you are on the desktop.10:56
mainerrorIs there a bug report for this already?10:56
TrewasI hear it was removed because it is confusing ro users (i.e. thinking they must move windows away to get it to show)10:58
glosoliAnyone can confirm don't getting any effect when hovering on close, max, min buttons in metacity ?10:58
glosolimainerror: If you are talking about dodge, yes there is bug somewhere in launchpad, gonna try to find for you10:58
mainerrorThat was the wrong way to tackle such a problem. There will be even more users confused about how to interact with their system in the first place.11:01
glosolimainerror: would you mind https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/936091 pressing "affects me" ? Because I am sure you get the same problem11:01
ubottuLaunchpad bug 936091 in metacity (Ubuntu) "hovering on close, minimize, maximize has no effect" [Undecided,New]11:01
mainerrorglosoli: What is the expected result?11:02
glosolimainerror: open nautilus, try to hover on close, max, min you should get some light changes, but you don't11:03
glosoliit works in unity, so try to maximize windows ant in global menu panel, hover on max min close, you will get effect11:03

glosolimainerror: On not maximized windows ?11:03
mainerrorYes.11:03

wondermanhi, any devs here that can tell me why everytime i update over the last 2 months it breaks the unity bar settings? starting to wind me up, do people not test these things?11:30
=== ripps_ is now known as ripps
ikoniawonderman: people do test these things, it's in development, so fixes are done in priority order11:36
ikoniawonderman: if you don't want/expect things to break use a stable release.11:36
wondermansorry ikonia i am talking about 11.10, nobody seems to know what they are talking about in #ubuntu, ie no devs tehre11:37
ikoniawonderman: talking to developers doesn't get things fixed directly,11:37
wondermanthe worse thing about unity is the bar autohiding, so i use CCSM to set it not to11:37
wondermanbut maybe they will have more of an idea11:37
ikoniawonderman: 1.) ask in #ubuntu if need help, this is for 12.04 support 2.) log a bug with the best information possible if you believe there is an error in the software11:38
wondermanwell i waited to update packages for a month, because the last time i did it broke the same thing11:38
wondermanand i waited for 2 days to get some reply before, and got nothing in #ubuntu11:38
ikoniawonderman: however as I've never seen anyone complain about this before, I'd suggest (note the word suggest) this is a problem with your setup, rather than the actual software or more people would be complaining11:38
wondermani think reinstalling catalyst might of been my fix before11:38
wondermanbut i cant do this everytime i update a packge....11:39
ikoniawonderman: the fact that you've got no reply in #ubuntu suggests it's a problem with your setup, or people would be saying "me too" or "it's a known problem, here is the bug id"11:39
wondermanbut its not uncommon software...11:39
ikoniawonderman: if the catalyst re-install is fixing it, then it would again suggest the problem is with catalyst drivers and your setup, in which case contacting ATI would be a good move11:39
wondermanor maybe most people like autohiding unity bar11:39
Ampelbeinwonderman: Please do 'ubuntu-bug unity' and report this in launchpad. Then developers are able to look at the problem and can assess wheter it's a bug or a problem with your setup.11:39
wondermani think it blows11:39
ikoniawonderman: most people don't seem to do auto hiding11:40
wondermanikonia: , its the default setting?11:40
ikoniaeither way, it's not for this channel, please take it to #ubuntu or follow the process I've suggested11:40
wondermanlol11:40
wondermanill wait till ive got many hours to wait for a reply11:40
wondermani shouldnt be fearful of upgrading packages11:41
ikoniawonderman: I've just given you the reply and suggestions forward, please don't use this channel for 11.10 support again.11:41
wondermanespecially when my setup is pretty basic11:41
wondermanmost people have ATI or nvidia GPUs11:41
ikoniawonderman: complaining about it won't fix it11:41
ikoniawonderman: please stop using this channel for 11.10 support discussion11:41
Ampelbeinwonderman: does bug 888039 sound related? If yes, there are packages in oneiric-proposed, see the last comment on that bug. All other questions should go to #ubuntu.11:41

ironhalikwrong side of the table :)12:13
sabgentonglosoli: thanks12:15
sabgentonglosoli: If I want to file a but report would it be best to see if PrecisePangolin has the bug and file it for PrecisePangolin instead of oneiric12:16
sabgentonI mean the devs wont care about oneric as much  anymore u would think..12:17
ironhaliksabgenton: Oneiric's support ends 04-2013, so you could do both12:19
ironhalikif its critical bug, theyll try to fix it in oneiric too12:19
sabgentonhmm ok12:20
sabgentonstill I won't care so much if it works in PrecisePangolin :)12:20
ironhalikthere probably already is a bugreport, so you can just confirm it ;>12:22
mainerrorsabgenton: Generally it depends on what bug you want to report.12:36
mainerrorIf something crashed on Oneiric, then report it against Oneiric.12:36

ironhalikim stuck on updating repositories for last 5 minutes12:42
ironhalikoh ffs, a dialog box got hidden on another workspace :)12:42

ikoniasahil_: what have you done to debug this ?17:03
sahil_done nothing as of now...coz if i even move a window...it takes 5-6 seconds for the flickering to stop17:04
ikoniasahil_: ok, I suggest doing some basic debugging17:04
ikoniasahil_: then once you've narrowed it down a bit, ask for specific help17:04
sahil_okey...from where shall i start?17:05
ironhaliksahil_: I would start with video drivers17:05
ironhalikand you can do this via tty, so it shouldnt be that bad17:06
sahil_okey...will give a try...17:06
ironhaliksahil_: the tool ubuntu uses to fetch additional drivers is called jockey - you can use the CLI version, jockey-text17:07

bjsnidersahil_, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon17:24
sahil_this is propietory catalyst 12.1 or gallium 0.4?17:24
bjsnidergallium17:25
dupondjeAre there some improvements for Dual VGA's in Precise17:25
bjsniderthe problem is you're not using the appropriate xorg driver17:25
dupondjeaka Nvidia Optimus17:25
sahil_system info says i have Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300)  insatlled17:25
bjsniderdupondje, no, but thanks for asking17:25
sahil_installed*17:25
dupondjebjsnider: nothing planned or so ? :(17:26
dupondjecause that would be a nice improvement :)17:26
bjsniderdupondje, you have to disable the optimus switching system in your bios/efi17:26
dupondjebjsnider: I have no option to do that in BIOS17:27
bjsnidersome laptops do and some don't17:27
bjsniderit's just unfortunate17:27
sahil_<bjsnider> i have insatlled...now shall i restart or wat? and something oneconf is also crahing...m not sure wats dat17:27
bjsniderrestart17:28
sahil_crashing*17:28
sahil_ok17:28

bjsniderthe ati driver is actually better for most things except high-end gaming at this point when compared to fglrx17:29
FreeaqingmeHi. I'm on the daily build of 12.04, using two screens. That results in 2 unity bars; is there any way to disable the second unity bar?17:31

sahil_ya..i was upgrading via tty...all of a sudden all sript stoped...didnt asked for restart or anything17:37
bjsniderwell, obviously you're stuck in some kind of limbo17:38
sahil_later yet i went to repair mode to see any broken pacakge...it gave me few obsolute pacakge wich it removed17:38
bjsniderrun apt-get dist-upgrade17:38

bjsniderand upgrade17:38
bjsniderand make sure your sources are all precise and not oneiric17:39
bjsniderand no ppas17:39
sahil_ok17:39
sahil_btw the system info says its 12.0417:39
sahil_and hey...no limbo exist for linux...coz here people things about "we" rather then "I"17:40
bjsnideryou could have something like half-precise packages half-oneiric, or missing packages that need to be there17:41
bjsnideryou need to have ubuntu-desktop in there17:42
sahil_m running unity...it feels like using gnome shell at the time ubuntu remix was rleased17:42
sahil_apt-get dist-upgrade done just 1.5mb download.. :/17:44
bjsniderxserver-xorg-video-all and xserver-xorg-video-ati too17:46
bjsniderthe ati module could be blacklisted17:46
imnicholsahil_, did you check your /etc/apt/sources.list to make sure it was all precise sources?17:46
imnicholI didn't see you say that, just checking17:47
sahil_<imnichol>in update manager setting all presice are ticked17:47
imnicholOk17:47
bjsnidercheck /etc/modprobe.d for blacklist files that might be ati-related17:47
ironhalikhmm, it may be stupid, but have you tried to jockey tool? Sometimes the automated stuff proves more error proof17:48
sahil_how to open these file via terminal? cat<location><filename>?17:48
ironhaliknano /path/to/file17:49
sahil_oh..thnx17:49
bjsnidercat will work just to look at the contents17:49
ironhalikyeah, it prints the contents17:49
sahil_and wats nano?17:49
ironhalika terminal based text editor17:49
bjsnidernano is an editor17:49
sahil_like gedit?17:50
ironhalikyeah, just in terminal17:50
sahil_ok..17:50
ironhalikyou can also use gedit in terminal, it will launch the file in it17:50
ironhalikif you prefer graphical interface17:50
bjsnidergiven how slow his setup is, that's probably not wise17:51
ironhalikjust remember to have proper rights, eg. you need root to edit sources.list17:51
sahil_so...sudo i gess?17:51
ironhaliksudo -i17:51
sahil_gues*17:51
ironhaliksudo -i will turn sudo on for the session, until you logout the root or close the temrinal17:52
ironhaliktbh I never got why root account is disabled in ubuntu by default :)17:53
bjsniderin debian17:53
sahil_its still showing premission denied...wow rare encounter17:53
ironhalikto which file?17:53
sahil_sahil@sahil:~/Desktop$ sudo -i /etc/apt/sources.list17:54
sahil_[sudo] password for sahil:17:54
sahil_-bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied17:54
ironhalikfirst, do sudo -i without any file17:54

sahil_-bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied17:55
sahil_O.o17:55
ironhalikand then nano /etc/apt/sources.list17:55
ironhalikit says that because sources.list is not executable17:55
sahil_ok..17:55
ironhalikuse nano :)17:56
sahil_ya...good to see colorful stuff in terminal17:56
ironhalikyeah, check if all the red is 'precise'17:57
ironhaliknano tips: ctrl+w = search, ctrl+c = close the editor, it will ask if you wamnt to save any changes17:58
sahil_http://pastebin.com/vs2ztLbZ17:58
sahil_all red stuff is precise17:58
ironhalikoh, alsa use page up / page down to move around17:59
ironhalikalso*17:59
ironhalikyou pasted only the first page17:59
sahil_oh17:59
ironhalikwell, either way, Im still in favor of trying the jockey tool to install ati drivers17:59
ironhalikjockey-text seems to be bugged for me right now, so you could try jockey-gtk, even while laggy18:00
ironhalikuh, correction, ctrl+x closes nano :)18:02
sahil_http://pastebin.com/mBBF9x9s18:02
sahil_well jockey...u mean the addition driver stuff..one with sort of graphics card icon?18:03
sahil_:)18:03
ironhalikyeah18:03
sahil_here i get confuse between the post release and normal driver...18:04
ironhalikyou can use both18:04
ironhalikeither one18:04
sahil_and hey...amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run and ati-driver-installer-11-11-x86.x86_64.run downloaded in my machine...which of the two can i install?18:06
sahil_i guess i can insatll thse right?18:06
ironhalikyeah18:06
sahil_which one?18:07
ironhalikthe 12.1 I think :)18:07
ironhalikalso, you need to go to the downloads folder18:07
ironhalikcd /path/to/downloads18:07
ironhalikthen chmod +x amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run and ati-driver-installer-11-11-x86.x86_64.run18:07
ironhalikthen ./amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run and ati-driver-installer-11-11-x86.x86_64.run18:07
sahil_i made a folder in home named it catalyst and kept the 12.1 file there18:07
ironhalikcd /home/sahil/catalyst18:08
sahil_wait..i have to insatll both of them? O.o?18:08

ironhaliksahil_: no, you do it on the 12.1 version18:09
ironhaliksahil_: I copied the text, do it on 12.1 only18:10
sahil_okey,,,18:10
icerootalso posted on #ubuntu because its also affecting lubuntu 11.1018:12
sahil_stupid question i knw... chmod vs chroot.../sudo vs root /su vs gksu... where can i find a clear answer?18:13
icerootsahil_: chmod has nothing to do with chroot18:13
jtaylorchmod and chroot are completely unrelated18:13
iceroot!sudo | sahil_18:13
ubottusahil_: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo18:13
icerootsahil_: please ALWAYS use sudo instead of a root shell, and use gksu/gksudo when running gui-programs18:14
jtaylorsahil_: chmod = change file mode bits, is used for changing permissions of file (read write execute)18:14
sahil_okey..thnx guys...18:15
ironhalikiceroot: why would su/sudo -i be not advised?18:15
sahil_:)18:15
icerootironhalik: because there is no need to have a root shell and users normally do things as root where root is not needed18:15
icerootironhalik: and "su" is not working by default on ubuntu18:15
ironhalikyeah, noticed :>18:15
sahil_aone more question gksu is only for gnome or wat??? so is there any kdsu?18:15
icerootsahil_: gksudo is for gnome, unity, xfce4, lxde18:16
bjsniderit's kdesu18:16
sahil_ah.. :)18:16
ironhalikiceroot: so its more of an 'stop using root to do everyday stuff!' issue ;>18:17
icerootironhalik: its more of a "most of the users dont know what they are doing but they are great in destryoing the system"18:18
ironhaliktrue18:18
ironhalik;>18:18
icerootironhalik: so we dont suggest/support root-shells, we always suggest sudo command18:18
ironhalikyeah, I always thought the move to disable root shell by default was kinda lame18:19
bjsniderwho told him to manually install fglrx from the amd installer?18:19
ironhalikbut then, since Ubuntu is supposed to be user friendly, it also needs to be user-proof18:19
ironhalik;>18:19
icerootironhalik: there is no single reason to have a root shell18:19
ironhalikiceroot: if you roam around /etc/, its more convienient to do it from root, then constantly type sudo ;>18:20
sahil_hey my problem is resolved...installing 12.1 vcatalyst solved the issue...12.1 is much better then 11.1118:20
icerootironhalik: as i said, we dont support/suggest root shells18:20
sahil_no desktop tearing atall18:20
ironhaliksahil_: GJ then18:20
icerootironhalik: and when working/editing in an editor with root-access, every good editor (vim) has a great feature to open other files too18:20
imnicholironhalik, it's "more convenient" until you mistype a mv/rm and blow away your filesystem18:20
sahil_gj?18:20
imnicholgood job18:21
icerootironhalik: no need to write sudo everytime18:21
bjsnideryeah, it's solved as long as you keep manually installing fglrx18:21
bjsniderand as long as you like the inferior performance vs. the radeon driver18:21
Ampelbeinironhalik: Everyday there are people who come here, the forums or the bugtracker to report broken issues due to messing up their ~/ with being root.18:21
ironhalikchown -R user:user /home/user/18:22
ironhalik;>18:22
ironhalikanyway, I guess its a good idea to discourage user from using root shell18:23
icerootironhalik: more evil, starting something as root where it is not needed18:23
icerootironhalik: e.g. starting svn-server as root, teamspeak-server as root18:23
icerootironhalik: or the complete gui18:23
ironhalikbut for those who know their CLI, and dont 'accidentally type rm -rf /', root shells are ok18:23
icerootironhalik: no18:23
sahil_hey how to speak to a single person here?like if someone trys to say me something,i get notifyed and text for me becomes red in color(sory for my poor english)18:23
icerootironhalik: and sudo rm -rf / is doing nothing18:23
ironhalikrm -rf ~/18:24
icerootsahil_: just put there name infront of the text18:24
ironhalikrm -rf ~/*18:24
ironhalik:>18:24

ubottuDO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you!18:24

DanaGsay, isn't unity supposed to now show a list of shortcuts upon holding "super"?19:28
DanaGIt's not doing that for me.19:28
DanaGUnity-2D, more specifically.19:29
DanaGoh, it's unity 4.0 I have.19:29
glosoliDanaG: It does show, just hold for a bit longer ;D19:34
ironhalikhmm, nice, unit-2d looks almost like unity19:35
DanaGcorrection: it's 5.4.019:38
DanaGokay, I held it for like 30 seconds, and got the numbers on the launcher, but not the big shortcut-list window.19:39
ironhalikHmm, it doesnt show for me, too19:39
ironhaliksame here19:39
DanaGhah, phoronix "btrfs fsck release is imminent".19:42
DanaGyeah, it's been "coming soon" for like 2 years, hasn't it?19:42
DanaGBut that's off-topic.19:42
DanaG[6] Type mismatch: wanted Float, got String instead.  Main.?.019:44
DanaGin myunity.19:44
ironhalikhuh, I would need to report a bug about the bug-reporter :>19:46
ironhalikhows the crash reported named?19:47
Ampelbeinironhalik: apport19:49
ironhalikthx19:51
DanaGThe program 'gconftool' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:19:56
DanaGapt-get install gconf219:56
DanaG... gconf2 is already the newest version.19:56
bjsniderDanaG, the btrfs devs didn't know how the fs would fail, so they could design a fsck right away20:03
DanaGbjsnider: yeah, that's understandable, but this message states things more clearly:20:10
DanaGhttp://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg12742.html20:10
DanaG"  That 2 week time line has now reached the 9 week mark.  The only update anyone has seen was 7 weeks ago, with a 'maybe today'.   Isn't it time to get that code checked in so someone else can take over, and not have to start from scratch?  Even if there isn't any actual working code, having any failed attempts in source control would still be instructive to whoever takes over delivering an actual fsck tool."20:10
DanaGAnyway, I'll just wait to see what happens.20:11

ironhalikhmm, the new dash reveal mode is cool20:30
DanaGwhat does unity use to index music?20:34
DanaGRhythmbox?20:34
DanaGRhythmbox sees all my music; Unity sees none at all.20:44
trismDanaG: looking at the code, seems to use banshee, so I imagine pretty broken at the moment since the switch back to rhythmbox20:49
DanaGhmm, so installing banshee should fix it.20:55
DanaGor rather, work around it.20:55
faenilcan anybody help me configure hostapd?21:02
trismDanaG: yep, that seems to do it, install banshee, import from rhythmbox, and for some reason, restart unity then the songs appear21:10
DanaGhah, as unstable as it is, I'm finding xfreerdp-server (not packaged) way more usable than VNC.21:13
DanaGVNC is always terribly laggy.  RDP works really well, but tends to stop responding if I alt-tab.21:13
DanaGWhat'd be the ultimate level of awesomeness from the rdp server: to have it behav the same as Windows Server.  Multiple, detachable sessions, with audio redirection.21:14
penguin42DanaG: Are you using this on a physical server?21:15
penguin42DanaG: Or a VM?21:16
DanaGIt's a physical server, with no local monitor.21:20
penguin42ah ok; just say because Spice on VMs is coming on nicely as an alternative to vnc21:20
DanaGYeah, too bad the HP Microserver lacks an iommu.21:20
DanaGnow, how do I get the equivalent of "gnome-screensaver-command --lock"?  Just dbus-send?21:22
trismDanaG: dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver / org.gnome.ScreenSaver.Lock;21:33
DanaGorg.gnome.screensaver doesn't exist in d-feet on the session bus.21:34
DanaGBut gnome-screensaver is not installed... if I install it, is it the modern gnome3 version?21:34
trismDanaG: version 3.2.121:35
ironhalikapt-cache show gnome-screensaver21:35
ironhalikyup, 3.2.121:35
DanaGthanks.21:37
