[00:01] hi help me [00:01] my problem is that when you minimize a program appears on the bottom bar i`am ubuntu [00:13] anyone got lm-sensors properly working with Precise ? [00:20] glosoli, questions like "does anyone..." are rather unhelpful... try to ask a specific question about the problem you are having [00:21] psusi: well the question was made quite good. I was asking if anyone got it working [00:22] coz for me it doesn't show CPU [00:22] just acpi [00:38] Are crash reports stored somewhere? [00:40] andrewaclt: /var/crash/ [00:43] Hi folks, hoping someone can help me with installing fglrx on precise or at least give me an idea as to why I'm getting compile-time errors with ATI's packages. I am following the guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI but changed "oneiric" to "precise" at the build step. The installer retrieved all dependencies for my system but fails to build. [00:43] trism, thanks [00:44] hi help me i`am problem my problem is that when you minimize a program appears on the bottom bar i`am ubuntu [01:06] Hey, can you help me with making bootloader for usb, but for 11.10? I get wrong checksums error. [01:14] pamposzek: see #ubuntu for help with 11.10 [01:14] I'm actually on 12.04 right now. [01:15] And I can't make boot to USB using 11.10 iso file. [01:17] pamposzek, you're trying to make a bootable 11.10 USB stick? [01:17] Yes. [01:18] Install unetbootin and write the ISO to your thumb drive that way. [01:18] "sudo apt-get install unetbootin" [01:19] It will work even if I'm on live cd? [01:19] Yes. If you've already downloaded the ISO then just choose the ISO option and point it to the file. It will take care of the rest for you. [01:19] Thanks, I hope it will work. :) [01:20] Also make sure your USB is formatted and empty first, and that it is mounted (unplug and replug it) [01:20] If you haven't already downloaded the ISO it has an option to download it for you. [01:44] hi! how to autohide the left app bar on ubuntu 12.04? [01:44] System Settings->Appearance->Behavior [01:46] Alright! I got it [02:07] saludos [02:07] alguien sabe como colocar el repositorio de terceros en ubntu 12.04 [02:08] arielsanflo, english here please [02:09] anyone knows how to put the third-party repository ubntu 12.04 [02:34] hey, I just updated to 12.04 recently, and since the update, the power statistics window is sometimes blank when I open it. the first few times, it's normal, but at some point it stops working, and won't display anything until I restart and try again [02:35] internet searches don't turn up anything. any ideas? [04:09] hi, I wonder if Subversion 1.7 will be included in Precisee repo or not...? [04:28] xrfang: probably not at this point [04:29] thanks micahg, then I will use WANdisco ppa. [04:34] . [05:53] does the installer support btrfs [05:53] debian-installer ("alternate") [06:08] the installer allows btrfs, but doesn't support using compress=zlib [06:34] Hello, I tried to upgrade from Lucid 10.04.4 to Precise beta, but it failed, saying that it cannot compute upgrade path [07:42] how change a keyboard lang in ubuntu 12.04 [07:43] red_: system settings > keyboard layout [07:43] top-right corner > system settings..

I have a kodak termal printer that never has had issues ,, however the printer setting shows no printers connectd [08:56] just out of curiosity, anyone from the debian/ubuntu games team here?

Is this something known? [09:33] Hi there, [09:34] Please help me! Who or what sets the recordfail GRUB environment variable? [09:39] Hi to all! RAID problem on 12.04b1 - more: paste.ubuntu.com/869743 - any ideas? [09:48] I have critical problem. There is a problem. When I am on battery and set my screen brightness to the lowest, I open chrome use it for few settongs, and screen brightness is automatically set max :////// [09:50] hi all, PLEASE can someone help urgently. I tried to install the nvidia propretary driver and due to several issues I uninstalled it. no I cannot get the nouveau driver to work at alkl and i'm stuck on a 1024*768 res, does not detect larger res at all, lsmod does not show nouveau module loaed, help! [09:50] i tried uninstalling and reinstalling nouveau, but still nothing [09:50] glosoli: Hi, I think I found my GRUB problem. System doesn't set recordfail to 0. [09:52] btrfs kernel panic remains in the today linux image. :-( [09:52] hate these problems [09:53] I found that's DIM Problem. [09:54] It trys to DIM screen a bit when I don't do anything for some seconds, and then I move mouse screen brightness is FULL :/ [10:08] hi all, does anyone here know how to kill lightdm correctly so that I may run sudo Xorg -configure to fix a major driver issues? [10:09] psypher246, service lightdm stop ? [10:09] sudo service lightdm stop [10:09] does not work [10:09] ooops too late sorry [10:09] kicks me back inot the desktop [10:10] psypher246, if you have only one display/monitor, remove xorg.conf completely - nouveau driver will be picked via autodetection [10:10] how else can i generate a clean xorg config file so that I can use nouveau? [10:10] rye, that its not working [10:10] psypher246, is kernel nouveau module loaded? [10:11] rye: if i delete the xorg I cannot set resoultuion or detect my 2ndf screen and no it does not load the module [10:11] psypher246, w/o kernel nouveau module you won't be able even if you have xorg configured - the logs should now say you are using VESA mode only [10:11] xorg logs [10:12] rye: thats what i fugred, so how do i force nouveau? [10:12] psypher246, so first you need to make sure that the kernel module is loaded. does modprobe nouveau work? [10:12] it all worked fine 20 mins ago before installing the crappy propretary drivers [10:12] nope [10:12] modprobe nouveau [10:12] psypher246, how did you uninstall them? You may have nvidia module sitting in the kernel still [10:12] WARNING: Module off not found. [10:12] WARNING: Module off not found. [10:13] module off??? [10:13] i used the hardware drivers app [10:13] psypher246, lsmod | grep nvidia ? [10:13] jockey aint it? [10:13] lsmod | grep nvidia [10:13] nvidia 12294232 54 [10:13] psypher246, kill it with fire [10:13] psypher246, rmmod nvidia [10:13] rmmod nvidia [10:13] ERROR: Module nvidia is in use [10:14] psypher246, you need to kill lightdm and Xorg, however it may be used by something else/have structures used in other modules. Have you restarted the machine after driver removal? [10:14] yes [10:14] several times now [10:15] psypher246, ok, so your nvidia.ko is still present - find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name 'nvidia.ko' [10:15] look i had to reinstall nvidia to get a working desktop, so must i uninstall again, reboot and then try rmmod? [10:15] umm [10:15] sorry i forgot I had to install again [10:15] :) [10:15] else i couldn't even open empathy cos gloabla menus don't display cos the res si so low [10:17] psypher246, so, when you remove the driver again, drop xorg.conf before reboot, then perform the reboot, autodetection will pick up nouveau driver. If not - verify that kernel module is present, that nvidia module is no longer available, and check whether there are WW (warnings) EE (errors) in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [10:17] * rye is happy he switched to intel-based machine [10:18] rye: thanks will try that, just gotta put out a fire quick, since i just got my pc running again :/ [10:18] rye, is intel drivers runing well? [10:19] psypher246, except of menus sometimes not drawing properly in compiz - yes; currently fglrx is broken for Xv for ATi cards in precise (ABI change) and nvidia drivers on my 8400 were really slow (and finally my card burned itself in the laptop) [10:19] so intel is so far my best one :) [10:19] rye: i have that menu drawing issue as well [10:20] psypher246, bug #934072 ? [10:20] Launchpad bug 931473 in compiz-plugins-main (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #934072 Menus don't fully appear" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/931473 [10:20] yup [10:20] ah [10:21] that's gtk/compiz bug [10:22] although bug says fix released? [10:24] Anyone here got problems with Screen Dim messing up on battery ? It dims screen but when I move moves it doesn't remember previous brightness state and sets it to full [10:32] hello [10:33] somebody there who knows about unity greeter? [10:36] Encountering a display issue with gcalctool. Using xubuntu AMD64. Wondered if experienced elsewhere. [10:40] Depends on the theme, but most, the display area or buttons are dark gray/black text on a black background. [10:48] After the switch to dconf, all my attempts to change the greeters values have failed [10:54] Hello, I tried to upgrade from Lucid 10.04.4 to Precise beta, but it failed, saying that it cannot compute upgrade path [11:02] AnAnt: you can't upgrade directly like that, you have to go Natty, then oneiric, then precise [11:03] AnAnt: just reinstall, it's easier and less downloading [11:03] wierd, I thought that LTS to LTS+1 upgrades SHOULD work ! [11:03] oh [11:03] damn i forgot about that [11:03] well, I thought that as well [11:04] sorry! [11:04] is there anyone who tried it ? [11:04] AnAnt: you need to wait for final release [11:04] ok that explains it [11:04] it will work ^^ but not in beta [11:05] doesn't really explain it, because this is something that needs be tested before final release [11:05] good point [11:16] uhm is somebody here who is familiar with unity greeter? [11:18] c3sso: not veryb familiar, but maybe I can help [11:23] well, [11:23] After the switch to dconf, all my attempts to change the greeters values have failed [11:24] c3sso: :/ ok thats a bit over my head sorry [11:27] psypher246, gcalctool display okay for you? [11:27] ronsonol: yeah looks ok [11:28] tried it with sudo dconf editor, and as a normal user, but changing the values would not do anything [11:28] I'm getting black numbers on a black screen. [11:28] no mine is fine, and was fine on nouveau and nvidia driver, what card u got? [11:29] Some GTK Warnings in terminal I don't know if are usual. [11:29] ATI, using the non proprietary driver. [11:29] ronsonol: I got those too, but fort apps as well [11:29] for most* [11:30] I was just trying to get an idea of the bug epidemology. I'm on xubuntu AMD64. Get bugs no one else gets. [11:32] There's a couple themes where gcalctool displays in a functional way, but, um, those themes suck. [11:33] And this the same theme I was using in 11.10 -- dunno what happened. [11:33] what theme u on? [11:33] greybird. [11:34] hmmm, sounds like you should log a bug for that theme [11:34] It's several themes. Others, the display area is good, the buttons are black with black numbers. [11:35] Thankfully, I'm old skool enough remember how to use bc. :P [11:35] i hacve issues in empathy when i mouse over people's names, their details pops up, all the text is white on a white background [11:40] c3sso: gsettings [11:40] c3sso: unity-greeting uses gsettings now [11:44] c3sso: I have installed an override in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ with the following contents: http://paste.ubuntu.com/871309/ , and it worked [11:45] c3sso: note that you will need to run sudo /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ after installing the override [12:09] im using ubuntu precise to distill ethanol [12:10] i wonder if thats a first ;) [12:16] snadge: ahahahahahah [12:16] snadge: http://qdb.us/307845 === chrisccoulson_ is now known as chrisccoulson [12:42] hi, I'm currently testing precise. my PC just crashed compleatly and I don't know how to report the crash - could be the kernel or compiz. [12:45] AnAnt: thanks. I have now switched to gtk-greeter which is simple and does what I want. I eventually will try out the gsettings thingie though [13:30] Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't run PAE kernel [13:34] Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't run PAE kernel [13:34] Ubuntu 12.04 with ATI graphics card doesn't run PAE kernel [13:37] Lukas1321: I know its not the proper answer, but you could consider running x64 version of Ubuntu [13:38] What's the point of using PAE? [13:38] if processor supports 64 [13:38] ? [13:38] I'm not too sure about this: I have a Quad-core AMD, Asus motherboard and an ATI integrated graphics card. [13:39] Lukas1321: Yes, it does. It does not support processors that do not support PAE though. [13:40] Lukas1321: with quad-core processor, you can run x64 version [13:40] it will probably be the recommended version for 12.04 eitherway [13:43] some atom processors and old pentiums and the oldest gen of dual core were 32bit [13:43] the rest is 64bit I think [13:43] amd being there before intel too [13:44] Ive got a lappy with the last dual core that was 32 bit :) [13:44] ULV [13:44] ironhalik: may it be the problem for him that PAE not working because he uses Wubi Installer ? [13:45] I'm trying out 12.04 - can someone tell me how I change the theme? [13:45] yt372: Get MyUnity app :) [13:45] yt372: or system settings -> appearance [13:45] Is there a way to add more themes? The default ones are butt ugly [13:46] yt372: No you did not! :O [13:46] ;> [13:46] glosoli: No idea, but since I think wubi is stupid, yeah, why not [13:46] yt372: No it isn't for now, custom themes looks ugly because some things changed in metacity and themes need to be updated [13:46] Well, in my opinion anyway ;) [13:46] yup, true [13:46] custom themes are broken for now, for ma at least [13:46] Ah, I thought it might be possible to use the default Gnome 3 theme which looks nicer [13:46] yt372: I tryed Adwaita Cupertino, Zukini ,ZukiTwo and some of other, they look more ugly now, because of the problems i mentioned above [13:47] yt372: it is [13:47] you can use adwaita for sure [13:47] Ok, that's good to know, thanks [13:47] Btw, guys, anyone know of a oldish but fully functional under linux wifi-n card? For miniPCIe [13:48] I had some broadcom chip that sucked and had no power management enabled in the kernel [13:48] bought for five bucks intel 4965, that was, since intel supports OSS drivers, supposed to be working perfect [13:48] but then, it turned out, it had power management disabled too [13:49] ironhalik: I suggest seeing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported or the FSF: https://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/net/wireless/cards.html [13:49] hmm, nice, thx [13:54] the power management feature, or lack of thereof, is costing me about half an hour of battery life [13:57] ironhalik: same here :) what a pity [13:58] where can I find a 12.04 non-pae mini iso, if indeed such a thing exists please? [14:14] I have issue: the default package manager stalled & I want synaptic :C [14:14] cog: stalled in what way? [14:15] no downloading [14:18] Just use command line to install synaptic, then use that. The official Ubuntu package manager sucks, it's buggy [14:21] y thank u :> how do i enable multiverse packages? [14:23] n/m lol [14:24] I can never thank you enough for your teaching. Thank you & thank reality for such positive energy. May you receive more positive energy than you gave. [14:24] cog: Are you on meth? [14:25] No. [14:25] Should I get on it? :D [14:25] * cog thinks about never having to brush his teeth again & smiles :B [14:32] Does Canonical employ any kernel developers? I ask because I reported a bug, and they just told me to pass it on to the kernel bug tracker instead... [14:37] yt372 - yes, but bugs should always be reported to the upstream kernel tracker [14:38] yt372 - do you have a bug number? [14:45] Huh, I went with a9k based atheros for my WiFi [14:45] I wonder what hidden defects Ill find now :) [14:46] brendand: I was just wondering if this was possible, as I've heard complaints from Fedora about Ubuntu users being told to report bugs there too. The impression is that Canonical don't contribute upstream very much === chrisccoulson_ is now known as chrisccoulson [15:07] does anyone have succes getting wunderlist to work in 12.04? [15:16] Hello, I tried to upgrade from Lucid 10.04.4 to Precise beta, but it failed, saying that it cannot compute upgrade path. I was told that it wouldn't work indeed until precise is released as stable. Isn't there a way around this ? Otherwise, how will the case of upgrading Lucid to Precise will be tested before release ? [15:17] drumusician: I did [15:19] drumusician: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/how-to-install-wunderlist-in-ubuntu.html [15:20] drumusician: in fact everything works perfectly except global menu not, menus are displayed inside the program [15:45] Anyone there has knowlede with ls ? I want it to show folder tree with files [15:46] ls -las [15:48] glosoli, and man is your friend. Shoot man ls :) [15:49] ls -R [15:50] valdur55: nah that was not what i Needed found tree package which gives me exactly what I need [15:51] Is it possible to locally build a package for oneiric from bzr branch on precise, using buildeb plugin ? [15:57] Why does Ubuntu ship GIMP 2.6.x instead of 2.7.x? [15:58] 2.7.x is in development [15:58] :) [15:58] it isn't said to be stable [15:58] 2.7.x is what will become GIMP 2.8 [16:06] questions: in 12.04 beta1, i do not have the quick actions on the home icon, privacy in settings, or the video lens... i ran the upgrade over my previous 11x and had a video lens add on and zietgiest editor add on. How can i restore these 3 feature using 12.04's implementation? [16:08] NOSaturn, I think what you refer to as 'quick actions' are the big 8 icons? [16:09] Daekdroom, no... when i r click on something in the launcher.. it works on the unity icon, and mounted drives, but shouldn't there be one for the home folder icon that launches nautlis? [16:09] i may have had an addon thing that modified that too, but i tried to remove all those before upgrading [16:10] There should be one quicklist for Nautilus, indeed. [16:11] The video lens is available through the unity-lens-video package [16:11] and "Privacy" under system settings should be there by default [16:12] Daekdroom, yeah.... but it seems since i had messed with those before, it broke the 12.4 version. :-/ shouldn't i be able to "wipe" the existing and re-up on the beta bits?

I shift-clicked & [16:39] it failed [16:39] zzecool: you here ? [16:39] glosoli: yes but not for long [16:39] :) [16:39] tell me [16:39] may you try pm me ? [16:39] wana check sms [16:39] yes [16:39] smth [16:40] i did [16:40] cog: what do you mean ? [16:41] if you want to mark multiple packages try one by one [16:41] I want all the educational & mathematical & scientific categories of software available through synaptic so I used shift to select one subset [16:42] but it fails [16:42] "Depends: libbiojava-java but it is not going to be installed" [16:42] hmmm in the normal ubuntu channel they say they dont do normal support but I guess some kind of first time users support. I am on oneiric though.. does ubuntu ahave any channel meant for linux users? :/ [16:42] #ubuntu ? :D [16:44] when I asked a rather simple linnux question, they said they dont get that kinda advanced questions in there [16:44] so I am looking for a normal channel for linux users, which are on this distro :) [16:44] ubuntu-devel? [16:44] no [16:44] mali: ubuntu is a linux distribution for support go to #ubuntu [16:44] here we are beta testing the nexer development release [16:44] next [16:44] thats not a support channel mali === zzecool is now known as zzecool_afk [16:44] mali: #ubuntu is the way to go though.. [16:44] mali: how specific to ubuntu is it? if it's generic, use #linux [16:45] #ubuntu for support if you are on oneiric mali [16:45] blah. :( well no it is ubuntu specific else ye. . I doubt i would use #ubuntu :) [16:45] mali, this is not the channel for it if you are on 11.10 [16:45] mali: there is always the fora, and answers.ubuntu.com [16:45] Err.. i never saw you actually ask somthing in #ubuntu [16:45] mali: shot the question out of curiosity before i leave [16:46] * hggdh grabs popcorn [16:46] * zzecool_afk looking with jealous at hggdh [16:46] * Dr_willis_ eats his porkchops [16:46] * zzecool_afk :O [16:47] well I need to path aka enclose the password var in slappasswd for ubuntu oneiric (server). Debian patched this in january so I presume patching doesn't always trickle too fast .. so I am wondering.. what would I do to make sure I can patch the package, and/or provide it downstream so that either patch is A)available downstream or B) does not ruin my custom patches from another update. [16:48] * Dr_willis_ rereads.. and thinks 'path' means 'patch' at the start... :) [16:49] I refer to zzecool_afk : it would be this patch I guess: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=635931 [16:49] Debian bug 635931 in slapd "slapd fails to install due to configuration error" [Normal,Fixed] [16:49] mali: you can lock the version of the package you are using [16:49] every 6 mo release syncs back to debian i belive. so in 12.X the patch shuld be in there from what ive read. [16:49] try to search "ubuntu lock to current version" [16:50] ok cool. so I patch locally, lock it. report bug to ubuntu, wait till there is an update, then peruse it to make sure the patch I entered is also enclosed in an update, then unlock if I find it satisfactory say? [16:50] 6 months on a server system?? [16:51] mali: i cant see any other way [16:51] slapd fails with "advanced" passwords simply because $1 is not enclosed as "$1" in slappasswd during install.. [16:52] zzecool_afk: bugfixes get backported too [16:52] this is an essential bug for you but if it is only you i dont think it is going to go firsti on the fix list [16:52] I guess I can just run it locally then but ok.. good ot know. I guess perhaps, rolling release servers aren't necessarily less secure. hmm. Thank though zzecool_afk [16:52] but not always [16:52] mali: you have some point about rolling but.... [16:53] But i think you can request it, no? [16:53] im rly afk now [16:53] nah, zzecool_afk : It is not mission critical since one can I think patch it locally; use a less secure password or even run it manually afterwords as slappasswd -s "advanced_funky_password" [16:53] ok thanks [16:53] :) [16:53] How can I restart Unity? It seems to be acting up ( not launching applications when I click on their search results, etc. ) [16:54] I will give the last one a try to confirm as I left ubuntu after that erm thing came... unity or what it was :) [16:54] unity --restart (i think) [16:55] ALT + F2 -------> unity --replace [16:55] im off [16:55] Cool thx [16:58] but since I wont be touching gfx on a server, and debian don't know.. I couldn't find piece with it.. I am trying ubuntu minimal again for the server. [16:58] although 6 month delay on some patching could be a bit strange [16:59] security updates between releases normally. [16:59] I forget the url to what/reasons/how.. saw it detailed on some wiki pages [17:00] ye then why has the failure of setting advanced LDAP passwords *slapd* not been patched.. it was done in jan it seems on debian and upstream have fixed it too iot seems. [17:00] 11.10 came out in November. [17:00] I admit, it's been since 10.10 I was on ubuntu so I am a bit rusty on checking the package versions.. apt-cache search openldap? [17:00] the issue is also in 12.04 then the patch never got merged i would guess.. [17:01] there you go [17:01] I find that strange for a server edition [17:01] mali: apt-cache policy [17:01] especially something like ldap root password script ;/ [17:01] there may be other reasons for the patch not getting moved along. I rarely pay attention to it. [17:01] !info openldap [17:01] Package openldap does not exist in precise [17:01] its only enclosing a password field in brackets.. but I can't remember my launchpad either hehe. I guess I will patch it and send it off to devels [17:02] search launchpad for similer bug reports first perhaps? [17:02] ye well I ended up here talking cos one cant ask normal linuxx questions in ubuntu support it seemed [17:02] only how do i type on a keyboard? kinda questions [17:02] This is not a 'normal' linux question.. and ive seen more complex ones asked in #ubuntu [17:02] (not that I can, myself ,p) [17:02] well , thank god then. Because that is what I got in reply [17:03] and it is not a complex question really, by all means. [17:03] never saw that reply. then again patching stuff is not really common for the majority of users. [17:03] thanks Ian_ btw [17:03] THeres also the #ubuntu-server channel but i never go there. [17:04] so are you saying that 'server' peeps dont have an own chan for support and discussion, only the one along with the well, new to linux users? [17:04] THen theres the askubuntu.com site thats getting better all the time. [17:04] or is that part of canonical's paid support services? [17:04] AHHH, there you go [17:04] I just said theres a Ubuntu-servers channel. :) [17:04] THAT's what I was looking for, I am sorry.. I asked in ubuntu for which channel and that too they failed to say when i asked which channel to go to. [17:04] theres also a #ubuntu-beginners i think. [17:04] yes, you did.. the channel I was meant to be in , however, did not ,( [17:05] I dont even know how many people are even in the server channel on a daily basis. [17:05] thats where most ubuntu users seem to should go in the #ubuntu chan [17:05] but thanks.. [17:05] I never go to the beginner channel either. :) i help out in #ubuntu all the time. [17:05] hi, i'm running precise and just tried to update and now some packages are broken ... could anyone help me investigate? [17:06] wtfdoggie22, some packages, [17:06] Mar 6 17:58:56 Erdbeere AptDaemon.Worker: CRITICAL: gvfs-bin: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [17:06] Mar 6 17:58:56 Erdbeere AptDaemon.Worker: CRITICAL: libglib2.0-bin: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [17:06] !paste wtfdoggie22 [17:07] often during beta.. things get really messed up - then fixed the next day. :) [17:07] !pastebin wtfdoggie22 [17:07] ok ok i use pastebin [17:07] ive not updated in 3+ days.. so cant really advice [17:07] http://pastebin.com/ECzU8PzW [17:08] i few days ago i wondered why there were packages shown in the update manager that were not marked [17:08] wenn trying to install them in synaptics it said it wanted to remove a lot packages in order to install them [17:09] so i didn't install them [17:09] i think ubuntu tried to install them now [17:09] but dont know why [17:11] Is it safe to remove /usr/lib32 now that multiarch has took over? [17:16] how do i make a window go to a workspace [17:16] cog: ctrl + shift + alt + arrow button [17:17] hi, is there any tutoriel to learn how to tweak unity in ubuntu 12.04 by any script (not a program like my-unity)? [17:17] thanks will [17:17] there's a button combo to change workspace too, but i've forgotten how to do that [17:18] ah - it's super + shift + direction keys [17:18] cog: hold super button to see combos [17:19] here is more info about the broken dependency problem: trying to add gvfs-bin in synaptics: http://imagebin.org/202220 [17:19] trying to add libglib: http://imagebin.org/202221 [17:20] vmware modules won't compile... :( [17:30] so it looks like apt-get -f install solved the problem [17:30] but no idea what happend === glosoli_ is now known as glosoli [18:07] synaptic won't open [18:07] cog, open terminal and then shoot synaptic :) Then you get error msg [18:32] hi [18:33] how can I have another panel besides the left one in unity? [18:34] a panel in which I put icons [18:34] you can't === yofel_ is now known as yofel [18:36] hi all! i can't upgrade from 11.10 via update-manager. won't show the new available version. any ideas? [18:37] is editing sources.list an option? [18:38] mp_, is 11.10 your main OS? [18:38] yep [18:38] mp_, not a good move really do you have a clone of 11.10? [18:38] unfortunately not [18:39] is that the way to go? [18:39] *one way [18:39] i always could use alternate install image [18:39] i suppose [18:39] mp_, always have a image is a good idea. Having one will protect you. [18:40] mp_, you might condider dual booting the development can fail. [18:40] consider* [18:40] the data on this machine is not important at all to me [18:40] other then that, use update-manager -d [18:41] so, i might just do a full install [18:41] Ian_: that's what i did [18:41] :) [18:41] mp_, it will be much faster and just a beter move really. [18:41] would this normally run without gksu? [18:41] it didn't work for me [18:41] mp_, gksu where? [18:42] dunno how it's called in ubuntu. after alt+f2 [18:42] mp_, you don't upgrade in root. [18:43] well, update.manager just wouldn't start otherwise. but good to know [18:43] ah tty [18:43] tty? [18:43] cli [18:43] comand line basically [18:43] command* [18:44] mp_: I would advice against updating to a beta if you don' tknow this term [18:44] well, not my terminal. i think it once was called krunner in kde distros [18:44] Ian_: thanks for that [18:45] Ian_, many other flags here but what can yah say eh. :) [18:45] so, editing sources.list to the beta repos is not an option? cause that's what i do in debian when upgrading [18:46] mp_, honestly no. [18:46] any idea what went wrong with my install? [18:47] mp_, nothing it sounds like it is just an area that you seem lost in. UPgarding to a development is not for the faint at heart. [18:47] upgrading* [18:48] Fyodorovna: thanks for your kind words, i appreciate that, really. [18:48] mp_, an upgrade if you got it working might take 4 hours, fresh install 20 min. [18:49] my last ubuntu upgarde must have been 2008, so, i really don't know anymore [18:50] eatmydata it and you get it done in 30min + 10 min :) [18:52] jtaylor, your advising a person unable to even get it started to use another method on a development? [18:52] well, i'm not really in the mood to hook up my usb dvd-rom and do a complete install. i thought i'd get it the easy way. i'll just wait, methinks [18:53] Fyodorovna: well, as i said, the method mentioned on ubuntu.com didn't work for me. i had to become root for som,e reason [18:54] mp_: changing the sources should work [18:54] but make sure you are fully uptodate first [18:54] done that [18:54] and watch out if you have any ppa's installed [18:54] nothing like that. thanks mate [18:55] but i'm curious though _why_ the standard way didn't work for me [18:56] oh, yeah, i also can't switch into tty1-6 [19:00] weird, had to restart my terminal after changing into tty1 [19:24] is kde in the ubuntu repos or are there different kubuntu repos? [19:26] *can't check - upgrade is running [19:26] mp_, the kubuntu-desktop and all its stuff is in the Ubuntu repos [19:26] thanks, will try that later [19:27] so, kubuntu-desktop is the virt. package to go [19:27] mp_, ??? [19:28] hey guys, is there someone who might know how to show me a way to find out why qjackctl will start in RT mode whilst running as su, but not when I'm running it on my user account? I've added myself to the audio group, what else do I need to do? [19:28] oh, i meant if kubuntu-desktop is the name of the package to get the kde desktop [19:28] mp_, yeah. :) [19:28] :) [19:34] so, while i'm still upgrading: how cool is 12.04? more stable than 11.10? [19:34] Anyone has knowledge connecting to ubuntu from ubuntu using Desktop Sharing ? [19:35] mp_: its a 'meta package' to be exact :) [19:36] i always called them virtual packages. but thanks :) [19:39] mp_, not really more stable it is in development, at least that is the rhetoric. [19:40] Theres tons of small improvements [19:40] and some bigger ones [19:40] Generally, its the first Ubuntu iteration that got me to install it on my desktop without dualbooting [19:40] and thats saying a lot ;> for me at least :> [19:41] well, it's beta after all. i just read about the new hud, actually i only saw a screenshot and thought i'd need to see that, that's why i'm upgrading [19:41] Unity is much snappier overall === glosoli_ is now known as glosoli [19:42] even though i'm not a ubuntu user i always liked the idea of unity. 11.10 was just a bit unstable [19:43] good things need time, i think [19:45] ironhalik: what was your other os? [19:46] shhh, I shouldt say the name here ;> [19:46] oh, a classic :) [19:46] anyone know how to make empathy pop open a window in GS [20:12] Has anyone else had issues with qemu and kvm not properly installing? [20:14] any error? [20:15] I have not had time to debug now, but "apt-get install qemu" does not properly install qemu :\ [20:15] There are no errors with its installation [20:16] what gives apt-cache policy qemu? === bufalo1973_ is now known as bufalo1973 [20:17] qemu: [20:17] Installed: 1.0+noroms-0ubuntu6 [20:17] Candidate: 1.0+noroms-0ubuntu6 [20:18] looks good to me [20:19] In the "Software Center" (I do not like to use), says that it has been replaced by a dummy pkg :\ [20:19] never played around with kvm though [20:19] did you find a howto? [20:19] Mega bummer, I just updated, rebooted and now I get this nasty grub-efi boot message that says: "null in the ring Aborted. Press any key to exit." [20:19] where is the any key? [20:20] irc classic [20:20] after I found the any key, I pressed it and get: .alloc magic is broken at 0xd3c9fca0 [20:21] I tried to boot into a livecd, mounted proc,sys,dev,dev/pts, and reinstall grub. That did not help. Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this problem? [20:21] you better find that place in your ram and fix it === Lukas1321| is now known as Lukas1321 [20:26] alright, 70 minutes from s/oneiric/precise/g to telinit 6 and i'm not in the mood to fix what i broke. laters [20:31] at least my tty1 works again :( [20:33] lightdm isn't sourcing my ~/.xsession on login [20:33] anyone know why? === zzecool_afk is now known as zzecool [20:46] hi everyone, when I try to 'kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade' I get "No new release found" when trying to do 11.10->12.04, any ideas? [20:49] jmazzi: just a long shot: did you adjust your xsession-directory in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf? [20:50] mp_: i did not [20:50] i'll take a look at what's set [20:50] jmazzi: ~/.xsessionrc is sourced on login, if you actually want to use ~/.xsession, the .desktop file in the first comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/lightdm/+bug/818864 works (just tested) [20:50] Launchpad bug 818864 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "add support for an “Xclient” fallback session" [Wishlist,Triaged] [20:50] jmazzi: when you copy it to /usr/share/xsessions/ that is [20:51] trism: are you saying i simply need to rename the file to .xsessionrc or do i need to apply a patch from that ticket too? [20:52] legodude: check /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and make sure that prompt isn't set to Never [20:53] jmazzi: if you just want the file sourced, then yes, just rename it, it is sourced in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/40x11-common_xsessionrc [20:53] trism: fantastic, thanks for the help! [20:59] Hi I'm trying to install 12.04 alongside windows 7 so I chose that option but that slider that lets you choose how to allocate disk space between the two does not label which one is for ubuntu and which is for ubuntu, can someone tell me if the slider on the left is for ubuntu or is it the right one, I want to give ubuntu a smaller partition [21:00] chrisg91, ersize Wy with its disk manager [21:00] resize [21:00] W7 doh [21:01] chrisg91, your really better leting windows do thien check that it still works then install ubnuntu. [21:01] Fyodorovna: okay I guess thats the safest way thanks [21:02] chrisg91, make sure you have W7 cloned=image and a recovery disc as well. [21:12] yofel: thought I had changed that in one of the gui programs, but it was set to lts, now working, thanks [21:12] legodude: software-properties-kde doesn't set that right, known issue [21:13] doh, thanks for your help [21:17] Hey, how to know if I'm using beta 1 or alpha? [21:17] fairuz_: if you are up to date [21:17] you are using beta [21:18] it's matter of packages not the name on the iso file [21:18] ok thanks [21:18] or compare the kernel versions [21:41] ARe graphical artifacts on login common under precise? [21:44] ARe graphical artifacts on login common under precise? [21:46] Hello, I'm adding a delay in fsck because luks takes a few seconds to have it's devices identified.... The UUIDs are renamed from (UUID)-unformatted to (UUID)-ext4 or whatever. fsck keeps dumping errors like (UUID)-unformatted file not found, a race condition from when the prog that calls fsck to when fsck is actually run... perhaps I'll see if I can get fsck to take a file handle instead?

[22:00] cwainey: seems like unity-greeter is full of bugs [22:00] cwainey, can we get a screen shot? [22:00] maybe.. [22:00] my advice is to use lightdm-gtk-greeter until the have sorted it out [22:01] they [22:01] Fyodorovna: This could be the initial video memory prior to the first glclear. [22:01] cwainey, I have not seen any problems myself.

[22:05] installing the package lightdm-gtk-greeter [22:05] Simple enough :P [22:06] thats not all: and then set it as default greeter: [22:07] sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -g gtk-greeter [22:07] That all? [22:09] Yes. you can restart lightdm with sudo initctl restart lightdm [22:09] or reboot [22:11] Whaddaya know, it worked... thanks [22:12] good to hear. [22:13] this greeter is propably not too fancy bit mostly works [22:13] I say mostly because the shutdown and reboot entries top left do nothing for me [22:14] haha [22:14] cwainey: could you check that? they also did not work with unity-greeter [22:15] give me a mo..
