[00:14] <FernandoMiguel> FOR THE LULZ https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671510
[00:16] <Daekdroom> FernandoMiguel, I think whoever filed that bug is missing something important,.
[00:17] <FernandoMiguel> Daekdroom: such as?
[00:17] <Daekdroom> There's no way gcalctool can tell where the denominator ends.
[00:18] <Daekdroom> So it presumes it's only one number, instead of all the set of operations after /
[00:33] <kanliot> alt+printscreen+k is supposed to close x, but i think a bug in my ATI drivers causes it to lock up my pc.  is this a bug, where do I file on launchpad?
[00:36] <jbicha> kanliot: I think you could run ubuntu-bug and report a display problem
[00:37] <Daekdroom> kanliot, don't you have to press CRTL too?
[00:37] <kanliot> ubuntu bug needs a package, um,  i guess i can figure out what package i'm using
[00:37] <kanliot> hehe  good try i'm not testing it :)
[00:37] <kanliot> you try it first :)
[00:38] <Daekdroom> Turns out you don't.
[00:38] <Daekdroom> I thought that because Alt + PrntScreen is a shortcut for a PrintScreen, you'd need Crtl too, but I just tested it and it works with only Alt + PrintScreen + k
[00:39] <Daekdroom> And I'm using the radeon driver. So it might be Catalyst indeed.
[00:41] <glosoli> zzecool: you here
[00:41] <glosoli>  ?
[00:47] <andrewaclt> Can somebody explain "/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Sector 48 is already in use by FlexNet; avoiding it." ?
[00:48] <andrewaclt> I'm not dualbooting at all.
[00:54] <glosoli> Who's FlexNet
[00:54] <glosoli> Hmm Wikipedia says it's some type of licensing
[00:55] <glosoli> andrewaclt: try running "sudo update-grub"
[00:56] <andrewaclt> glosoli, yes, looks like some kind of drm crap
[00:56] <andrewaclt> glosoli, I ran that and it executed fine, no errors
[00:56] <glosoli> So you tryed running that command ?
[00:56] <glosoli> rebooted after that ?
[00:56] <andrewaclt> no
[00:57] <andrewaclt> Does that flush the boot track?
[00:57] <andrewaclt> or is that just fdsik?
[00:57] <lcc>  I'm getting occasional kernel panics with 12.04. I've never had any
[00:57] <lcc>       kernel panics with 11.10.
[00:57] <zzecool> glosoli: yes
[00:58] <glosoli> andrewaclt: I am not sure, just try it
[00:58] <glosoli> zzecool: go sleep :D
[00:58] <zzecool> glosoli: i will soon
[00:58] <zzecool> :D
[00:59] <zzecool> i was trying to import the old ios 3 db to my iphone with ios5
[00:59] <glosoli> zzecool: Are you having laptop ?
[00:59] <zzecool> i made it after all :D
[00:59] <glosoli> zzecool: I wana ask if you got DIM problems
[00:59] <zzecool> yes
[00:59] <zzecool> i have
[00:59] <zzecool> but i have the solution
[00:59] <zzecool> let me go wc
[01:00] <zzecool> ill tell you
[01:00] <zzecool> brb
[01:00] <glosoli> zzecool: Try running it on battery set brightness to lowest, then don't do anything for about 30 seconds, it should do dim screen, then move mouse cursor and boom
[01:04] <bilal> Anyone else having WiFi troubles? When I'm on a WPA-PSK network, my WiFi gets blocked every half an hour or so. Very random, no set duration, and I get a "group rekeying" message on syslog right before WiFi gets blocked. Sandy Bridge i7, iwlagn driver, precise
[01:04] <bilal> By "blocked" I mean, I don't get disconnected from the network, but all network access shuts off. The browser, and all network accessing programs time out
[01:05] <bilal> I need to run a sudo killall wpa_supplicant to fix the issue.
[01:05] <zzecool> im always on wpa and dont have any problem
[01:05] <bilal> I think it has something to do with the driver
[01:05] <zzecool> glosoli: first of all
[01:06] <zzecool> i have a sony vaio and the brightness doesnt work out of the box
[01:06] <bilal> since I don't have this problem on Oneiric, and on my Precise I've cleaned all NM settings, and have even tried ConnMan
[01:06] <glosoli> zzecool: aaa sony ass
[01:06] <zzecool> im using a tool
[01:07] <zzecool> called smartdimmer
[01:07] <zzecool> im using it with a script
[01:07] <glosoli> zzecool: what's that tool for ?
[01:07] <zzecool> dimming on nvidia vgas
[01:08] <zzecool> http://www.toforge.com/2011/02/sony-vaio-brightness-control-script-for-ubuntu-geforce-cards/
[01:09] <glosoli> Doh
[01:09] <zzecool> brightness are the only function keys that doesnt work out of the box
[01:09] <zzecool> in this sony
[01:09] <zzecool> thank god
[01:09] <zzecool> all the other working fine
[01:11] <zzecool> as i thought  libgpod4  is broken for ios5
[01:11] <zzecool> i cant sync music
[01:11] <zzecool> .......
[01:12] <glosoli> can't help laughing
[01:13] <glosoli> :/
[01:15] <zzecool> lol
[01:19] <zzecool> starting price was 778 euros i think or 768
[01:19] <zzecool> i dont remember exactly
[01:19] <zzecool> i paid 238
[01:19] <zzecool> oups
[01:19] <zzecool> wrong channel :D glosoli
[01:20] <hoshi411> how can I change the color scheme ? im running ubuntu 12 and xchat and nautilus are blinding me.  i believe xchat can do it but .... how about nautilus?
[01:20] <hoshi411> im on unity by the way
[01:23] <zzecool> hoshi411: you need themes
[01:23] <hoshi411> so i was able to change the colors for inside the chat window but .... how about the rest?
[01:23] <zzecool> and gnome-tweak
[01:23] <hoshi411> zzecool: themes for unity?
[01:23] <hoshi411> for ubuntu 12?
[01:23] <zzecool> themes for GTK
[01:23] <blocky_> if I want to install the beta on a fresh windows system is it better to install 11.10 and upgrade or install from the beta iso directly?
[01:23] <zzecool> beta iso
[01:24] <zzecool> glosoli: tons of updates today
[01:24] <zzecool> :D
[01:24] <zzecool> im downloading 69 more
[01:25] <glosoli> zzecool: yeeee :/
[01:26] <zzecool> hoshi411: the tool for the themes called  :  gnome-tweak-tool
[01:26] <zzecool> hoshi411: after you install it open the dash and type advanced   , its the one called advanced settings
[01:26] <zzecool> good luck
[01:27] <zzecool> its work both for unity and gnome shell
[01:31] <trism> bilal: this debian bug seems to have the same sort of issues you are seeing, the last post from yesterday indicates a fix may show up in the upstream kernel soon: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=651199
[01:31] <zuti> hmm... pulseaudio -k shouldn't probably kill gnome-shell? :)
[01:32] <bilal> trism: Thanks for pointing it out, you beat me at googling :) I had been searching for bug reports on this for a long time, but never found that one!
[01:34] <hoshi411> zzecool: thanks, i imagine that only gtk3 engines are going to work with the tweak tool correct?
[01:34] <zzecool> i think it support gkt2 too
[01:35] <zzecool> im not sure tho
[01:35] <zzecool> maybe im wrong
[01:35] <Daekdroom> It handles both as long as the GTK2 and GTK3 themes are together.
[01:35] <hoshi411> hmm ... not showing up , the ones that I installed... for example nodoka
[01:35] <hoshi411> my favorite is nodoka-midnight
[01:36] <zzecool> ahh
[01:36] <zzecool> i think oi have a solution for you then
[01:36] <zzecool> wait
[01:36] <zzecool> hoshi411: :)
[01:36] <hoshi411> :D
[01:37] <hoshi411> as long as i don't have to do anything dirty
[01:37] <hoshi411> im uncomfortable with "the grey area"
[01:38] <eruditehermit> does anyone here use gnome-shell and know why the battery meter is not updating?
[01:40] <zzecool> hoshi411: i cant find it now
[01:41] <hoshi411> zzecool, its cool
[01:41] <hoshi411> : )
[01:41] <hoshi411> thanks for trying though
[01:41] <zzecool> found it
[01:41] <zzecool> :D
[01:41] <zzecool> wait
[01:42] <trism> bilal: after a bit more searching, it seems that specific patch is already included in 3.2.0-18.28 to fix bug 911059, but it seems some people are still having problems: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/948235
[01:43] <zzecool> hoshi411: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:satyajit-happy/themes
[01:44] <zzecool> hoshi411: then open synaptic refresh and add the 3 themes  that you will find in this ppa
[01:44] <andrewaclt> To install grub, is it sufficient to simply grub-install /dev/hda or do I have to do anything special after wiping my MBR
[01:44] <zzecool> there is an elementary dark that looks very close to your theme
[01:44] <zzecool> :d
[01:51] <Fyodorovna> andrewaclt, what is the problem overall?
[01:51] <andrewaclt> I install ubuntu to a windows pc (completely overwriting windows), but I get this error "/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Sector 48 is already in use by FlexNet; avoiding it.  This software may cause boot or other problems in future.". I was going to dd over the mbr and reinstall grub to fix?
[01:52] <andrewaclt> That error is when I just apt-upgrade and it tried to install grub, not in the installer
[01:52] <Fyodorovna> andrewaclt, flexnet is a problem, I thought grub had been adjusted, you might ask on the ubuntu forums.
[01:53] <Fyodorovna> andrewaclt, you just have ubuntu now?
[01:53] <andrewaclt> But, if I just dd over the mbr, Flexnet will be gone, yes?
[01:53] <andrewaclt> Yeah, just ubuntu, no windows
[01:53] <Fyodorovna> andrewaclt, yeah dd it. :)
[01:54] <andrewaclt> I just wanted to make sure that the correct step after dding was "sudo grub-install /dev/hda" and I didn't have to pass some ubuntu specific configuration stuff
[01:54] <Fyodorovna> andrewaclt, you have grub 2 right its sda
[01:55] <andrewaclt> Yeah
[01:55] <andrewaclt> Well, I'm not sure it's sda. fstab looks funny these days, with UUIDs heh
[01:55] <Fyodorovna> andrewaclt, you know the dd is just lessm that 512 right
[01:55] <Fyodorovna> less than
[01:56] <zzecool> andrewaclt: more ppl having this kind of problem
[01:56] <zzecool> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1605076.html
[01:57] <andrewaclt> Fyodorovna, good call
[01:57] <andrewaclt> I just want 446 and not the full 512
[01:57] <andrewaclt> right?
[01:57] <Fyodorovna> zzecool, the grub maintainer colin I think the name is was working on this a while back I surprised anyone has a problem.
[01:58] <andrewaclt> It seems like there is a safer way that I could tell grub to overwrite everything
[01:58] <Fyodorovna> andrewaclt, not sure exactly I just know if you go the full 512 it breaks the partition table.
[01:58] <andrewaclt> Fyodorovna, Yes, that's my understanding, so we can't have that
[01:59] <Fyodorovna> not a good thing. :)
[02:02] <hoshi411> zzecool, thanks, installing now
[02:04] <zzecool> np
[02:08] <pdkl> hows unity in 12.04?   majorly improved?
[02:08] <Daekdroom> Yes.
[02:08] <Daekdroom> Much snappier.
[02:09] <Tronic> I guess I'll have to give that a try.
[02:09] <Tronic> KUbuntu has been quite horrible so far.
[02:09] <pdkl> was wondering the same
[02:09] <pdkl> im on kde 4.8 in archlinux
[02:09] <pdkl> i just dont likegnome shell
[02:10] <Tronic> I like both Gnome Shell and Unity on concept level but both of them need much more work.
[02:10] <Tronic> If the good ideas of both were combined, I'd be very happy already :)
[02:11] <Tronic> + a little bit more room for configuration, e.g. allow one to disable screen blanking.
[02:13] <pdkl> well i need something different
[02:15] <jbicha> Tronic: screen blanking?
[02:16] <Tronic> jbicha: Turns off your display after one hour.
[02:17] <jbicha> Tronic: have you looked at gnome-control-center screen ?
[02:18] <Tronic> jbicha: The last time I did, the maximum was one hour and the "Never" option from Gnome 2 was missing.
[02:18] <jbicha> Tronic: Never is there
[02:19] <Daekdroom> It is there indeed
[02:19] <Tronic> Kubuntu has that same problem, actually. The default (if checkbox not selected) is about 10 minutes and the maximum value permitted is 360 minutes.
[02:20] <Tronic> jbicha: Okay, I guess it has been fixed at some point.
[02:20] <jbicha> Tronic: you could also play with dconf-editor and look in org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power but I think Ubuntu has patched System Settings which is easier
[02:21] <pdkl> 12.04 beta 1 is the latest and greatest?
[02:21] <Tronic> Just checked on my laptop (with Unity) and yes, the setting is there. I found it missing with Gnome Shell but that I cannot test right now.
[02:23] <arand> pdkl: There is only one version of Precise - the current one.
[02:30] <pdkl> burning it :P
[02:31] <Dr_willis_> there are the daily build iso's  i recall.. but those can be flakey at times.
[02:31] <pdkl> wonder how much of a performance hit im going to take switching to ubuntu
[02:31] <Dr_willis_> depends on  the details pdkl
[02:43] <ricky-1> I'm currently logged into ubuntu-12.04-beta1-desktop-amd64 on my desktop but there's no visible mouse; I can still click things (like the top-right icons.) I experienced the same thing after I did an "ubuntu-12.04-beta1-alternative-amd64" install; there was no visible mouse while trying to log in or even while logged in: I had to rely on the "Click Ctrl to highlight cursor position." The system said it was up to date. Right now I'm
[02:43] <ricky-1> at the very first screen with "Try Ubuntu" and "Install Ubuntu" tl;dr: no /visible/ mouse. What gives?
[02:49] <Tronic> ricky-1: Which GPU & drivers do you have?
[02:52] <ricky-1> Tronic, I have an ATI HD5850, running with free/standard (?) drivers. Whichever drivers support that card by default
[02:52] <ricky-1> I haven't installed any GPU drivers
[02:53] <ricky-1> Someone suggested I stop X and "set it up myself" so far I've `sudo service lightdm stop`'d and am logged in via console
[02:53] <ricky-1> Not sure what to do next; that was next on my to-google list
[02:53] <ricky-1> rather, they suggested I not rely on hotplugging and set it manually*
[02:54] <ricky-1> Would that help? I mean, the system knows the mouse is there. It's just not visible
[03:02] <quantumlemur> hey guys, ever since I updated to 12.04, my machine has been hanging on the shutdown animation about half the time.  The other half, it shuts down fine with no problems.  Are there any known instances of that, or any troubleshooting / evidence gathering tips?
[03:06] <quantumlemur> also, internet searches seem to point to acpi being the most common culprit, and that disabling part of it can sometimes fix it.  But I like the benefits of acpi...  if I don't find a solution (or don't like the solution), do I need to worry about it if I just have to do a hard shutdown half the time?
[03:16] <scriptwarlock> quantumlemur, could that be a network interface errors? check your log files for any errors
[03:23] <quantumlemur> scriptwarlock, hmm, I can't find anything, but then again I'm not totally sure where to look in the logs, or what to look for
[03:24] <PhotoJim> "Could not install the upgrades" - Error during commit.  Couldn't configure pre-depend libtinfo5 for libncurses5, probably a dependency cycle.  <- got that error trying to install 12.04 beta. ideas?
[03:25] <scriptwarlock> quantumlemur, /var/log//syslog?
[03:26] <quantumlemur> scriptwarlock, that's where I focused my efforts, but didn't find anything obvious.  Is there a tag where a shutdown is initiated?  I searched for HALT and SHUTDOWN and whatnot.
[03:27] <scriptwarlock> quantumlemur, have you tried somewhere on acpi boot options?
[03:29] <scriptwarlock> quantumlemur, something like acpi=off kernel param? actually never done this on newer ubuntus
[03:29] <scriptwarlock> quantumlemur, my machine is bahaving normally
[03:30] <quantumlemur> scriptwarlock, I haven't tried the acpi options yet.  I'll try those in a bit and report back... any other suggestions in the mean time?
[03:32] <North> Hello? I wanna do the remote control from other desktop. could you tell me how to set. I am running 12.04LTS beta.
[03:33] <North> can anyone help me?
[03:33] <Dmole> is there a way to show the "full path" of the current view in the file browser?
[03:33] <Dmole> North: what do you need?
[03:33] <North> I wanna do the remote control from other desktop. could you tell me how to set?
[03:34] <scriptwarlock> quantumlemur, verbose mode on shutdown i guess can let you see the text stuff
[03:34] <Dmole> North: ssh or vnc/etc
[03:34] <quantumlemur> scriptwarlock, oh, yeah, that could be helpful, thanks
[03:34] <scriptwarlock> North, enable the remote desktop
[03:35] <North> Dmole: it might seem I need the detailed instruction.
[03:35] <North> scriptwarlock: how can I set it?
[03:35] <Dmole> North just type "remote" into the search bar
[03:35] <scriptwarlock> North, open desktop sharing
[03:36] <Dmole> North: (in "dash home")
[03:37] <North> i have been using 8.04LTS. I an not familiar with this 12.04LTS beta.
[03:37] <North> i feel tough a little bit.
[03:37] <scriptwarlock> North, check box: allow other users and allow other users to control, if thats your own machine untick must confirm, require paswd, and check auto configure upnp
[03:39] <North> scriptwarlock:  I did set it as your saying. Now I wanna try to remote from other desktop that has Windows OS. Any comment?
[03:39] <scriptwarlock> North, wth you never told us your working on a windows machine
[03:39] <North> I cannot use the remote desktop connection on the Windows OS PC.
[03:40] <North> scriptwarlock: do I need to install the VNC viewer again?
[03:40] <scriptwarlock> North, you can use vnc for windows
[03:41] <North> scriptwarlock: OK let me try
[03:41] <Dmole> North: I like NX but it's not simple to setup
[03:41] <North> Dmole: :)
[03:42] <scriptwarlock> North, you are on your own when configuring windows remote, i'm done with m$
[03:42] <Dmole> North:  youtube is your friend (I did not preview this) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwCQeNXr7Eg
[03:43] <Dmole> we are all  M$ H8ers around here
[03:43] <scriptwarlock> not actually never hate but dont like using my time for it
[03:45] <North> Dmole: Are you serious?
[03:45] <Dmole> semantics :)
[03:46] <Dmole> North: serious about what?
[03:47] <Dmole> North: haha the link was temvewer yah don't do that, but I'm sure you can find something
[03:48] <scriptwarlock> was using teamviewer and its quit simple no more configs on router
[03:48] <Dmole> I think  there are 4 ish options for direct connect NX VNC freeNX thatother one
[03:48] <North> Dmole: you said we are all  M$ H8ers around here.
[03:49] <North> thanks to you, I succeded
[03:50] <Dmole> North: using any OS without a unaversal API (the CLI) and the closed nature is just not worth any effort
[03:51] <Dmole> OSX is nice though
[03:53] <North> Dmole: I understand what you said from the view of computer user.
[03:54] <North> Dmole: on the other hand , User needs the professional technical support like M$ has been doing.
[03:57] <scriptwarlock> North, we have free support from the community and paid from canonical(enterprise?)
[03:57] <North> scriptwarlock: oh really?
[03:58] <North> scriptwarlock: another question, how can I put the terminal on  the launch button panel?
[03:59] <scriptwarlock> North, obviously what we are doing now is a free support, right?
[03:59] <ricky-1> right click it I believe
[03:59] <ricky-1> North,
[03:59] <Dmole> North:and then there is redhat THE "professional" OS M$ can't hold a a candle to that star
[03:59] <scriptwarlock> North, you using unity?
[04:00] <North> scriptwarlock: sorry  I do not know what unity is .
[04:01] <Dmole> North: yes run it the right click on the icon and "lock to launcher"
[04:01] <scriptwarlock> North, your in ubuntu+1 irc supposed your using 12.04
[04:01] <ricky-1> Previously (ie: in 10.10), I could execute `sudo service gdm stop` to stop GUI and drop into a terminal. That doesn't seem to work now. What is the proper way to drop out of fancy X and GUI-land now?
[04:02] <scriptwarlock> ricky-1, you mean ctrl+alt+f1?
[04:02] <ricky-1> that too, but what if I need to stop X
[04:02] <jbicha> ricky-1: substitute lightdm for gdm
[04:02] <ricky-1> jbicha, ah, thanks
[04:06] <Dmole> ah! to get a path from nautilus drag the folder into terminal
[04:06] <North> scriptwarlock: yes, I am using 12.04
[04:07] <scriptwarlock> North, have you done what Dmole suggested?
[04:08] <North> scriptwarlock: yes ihave done.
[04:09] <North> A lot of crash reports poped up. it annoies me
[04:09] <scriptwarlock> North, yeah what is beta
[04:10] <DanaG> How odd... i connected my android device to my pulseaudio server, and the audio was silent until the very instant i connected to vnc.
[04:10] <DanaG> Connected over bluetooth, that is.   Server as sink.
[04:10] <Dmole> North: did you "apt-get update;apt-get -y dist-upgrade;"?
[04:11] <DanaG> Server is on Precise.
[04:11] <North> Dmole:  I will do  it now.
[04:12] <Dmole> DanaG: pulse only starts with a userlogin by default
[04:12] <North> scriptwarlock: if I minimize the certain window, how can i know that a window is opened?
[04:12] <DanaG> I tweaked it two ways: system daemon, and lightdm autologin.
[04:13] <North> what is the super key? when maximizing the window, it requires super + Up?
[04:14] <Dmole> North: the "windows"
[04:14] <Dmole> key
[04:14] <Dmole> or mac
[04:14] <scriptwarlock> North, i set my unity panel icons backlight>active icons on
[04:14] <North> it's lunch time.  I will be back to you soon.
[04:15] <scriptwarlock> pressing down the super key displays the keyboard shortcuts
[04:15] <DanaG_> Argh, need to switch to laptop.
[04:16] <ricky-1> What would the proper way to get my fresh 12.04 install up-to-date using CLI apt-get be? Simply `apt-get update`, then `apt-get upgrade`?
[04:16] <ricky-1> last time i used the GUI it crashed halfway through
[04:17] <Dmole> "apt-get update;apt-get -y dist-upgrade;"
[04:17] <scriptwarlock> ricky-1, update manager can handle the update that requires admin password
[04:18] <ricky-1> scriptwarlock, I got a segfault halfway through, after reboot it said something about partial upgrade so I let it, then i dont remember... but things werent looking up
[04:19] <Dmole> if it fails again just reinstall (it only takes a minute
[04:20] <scriptwarlock> ricky-1, ah yes sometimes i bumped with that msg terminal can save the day :)
[04:22] <ricky-1> hashsum mismatch T_T
[04:22] <Dmole> which repo?
[04:24] <ricky-1> precise/main? libreoffice-draw and libemempi. ran upgrade again and it didnt complain...
[04:44] <North> Dmole: it's strange the windows key works on Ubuntu.
[04:45] <North> scriptwarlock: how did you set unity panel icons bakclight.active icons?
[04:47] <scriptwarlock> North, install myunity
[04:49] <North1> ScriptRipper, using apt-get?
[04:49] <scriptwarlock> North, ?
[04:49] <North1> yes
[04:50] <North1> it's me

[05:01] <ricky-1> Can someone help me figure out why my mouse is simply invisible? It works, I can move it and click stuff; I just can't see it. I have to use the "Pressing Ctrl highlights cursor position" option in settings.
[05:03] <scriptwarlock> ricky-1, is that a ps2 or usb mouse
[05:03] <ricky-1> both
[05:03] <ricky-1> I can use either
[05:03] <DanaG> heh, I love how the update-checking window resizes spastically.
[05:04] <DanaG> ... to fit the strings inside it.
[05:04] <scriptwarlock> ricky-1, and mouse is generic?
[05:04] <ricky-1> scriptwarlock, yea
[05:05] <ricky-1> I'm going to try installing proprietary GPU drivers
[05:05] <ricky-1> /shrug
[05:09] <scriptwarlock> ricky-1, check if you have hwcursor on your xorg.conf
[05:11] <ricky-1> scriptwarlock, I don't know where xorg.conf is located any more
[05:11] <scriptwarlock> ricky-1, yaiks i forgot
[05:13] <micahg> it's been deprecated since karmic I believe

[05:16] <DanaG> oh yeah, so my server isn't completely headless... it has a sucky ASPEED remote access card... that sometimes can't be remote-accessed.
[05:16] <DanaG> But anyway, that "local" interface automatically logs in as me, and then locks.
[05:17] <scriptwarlock> ricky-1, you mentioned gpu have you installed yet?

[05:21] <erappleman> hi, how do i get 32-bit binaries working with wine on 64-bit?
[05:21] <erappleman> ia32-libs is still broken
[05:21] <scriptwarlock> ricky-1, ubuntu 12.04 right?
[05:22] <DanaG> hmm, is fglrx known to be working at this point?  I'd be surprised if so.
[05:22] <DanaG> Considering their usual lag.
[05:24] <scriptwarlock> ricky-1, been here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[05:26] <DanaG> interesting... it's using llvmpipe.
[05:27] <ricky-1> scriptwarlock, Yes, 12.04 b1. I haven't been there. I will look in a second. I'm /assuming/ the "(post release)" ati driver is what crashed jockey-gtk; after I re-ran it, the non "post release" driver seemed to activate just fine

[05:27] <ricky-1> theres a mouse
[05:30] <ricky-1> What is the difference between the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver and the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver ?
[05:32] <scriptwarlock> ricky-1, best answer driver and the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver ?
[05:32] <ricky-1> oops

[05:54] <snadge> i dont know.. but the latest fglrx.. is broken
[05:54] <snadge> amd needs to be administered with fatal beatings
[06:00] <snadge> oh interesting.. so the solution to unity not working with the latest fglrx
[06:00] <snadge> is to use the older fglrx
[06:00] <snadge> even though it has known issues which were resolved with the later fglrx
[06:01] <snadge> well done
[06:27] <scientes> does ubuntu use fdisk to make msdos lables?
[06:28] <scientes> or is it all GNU parted?
[06:34] <scriptwarlock> scientes, gparted?
[06:37] <scientes> gparted is unlikely, but parted (which gparted is a front end for) is likely
[07:52] <Ch_Iossif> Hi to all! RAID boot problem on 12.04b1 - more: http://paste.ubuntu.com/871230/ - Any ideas?
[08:17] <mongo> what package does the indicator-brightness role now? I have no brightness slider but xbacklight works as does the /sys files
[08:22] <tokarbol> Where should I ask about the logon screen in Precise?
[08:23] <tokarbol> Namely, I need to be able to add keyboard layouts in some GUI... and I need to ask is that possible?
[08:23] <tokarbol> Anybody on this channel knows this?
[08:23] <mongo> I don't have an answer but lightdm is the package you are talking about
[08:26] <tokarbol> isn't it some kind of 'greeter' over lightdm?
[08:26] <mongo> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/915468
[08:27] <mongo> theres the bug
[08:27] <tokarbol> I was just in the middle of the bug report list
[08:27] <tokarbol> thanks
[08:28] <mongo> It is working for me but I only have two keyboards
[08:28] <tokarbol> hm... actually this one is that it does not respect some config file
[08:29] <mongo> oh, do you not even have the selector?
[08:29] <tokarbol> do you know if there is a logon-screen GUI where you can set the layout to any arbitrary?
[08:29] <tokarbol> is there one?
[08:29] <mongo> you can with the current one but you need to install the keyboards
[08:29] <tokarbol> I can click "en", but it's just en
[08:29] <tokarbol> which keyboards?
[08:29] <tokarbol> a package?
[08:30] <mongo> go the "gear" in the upper right hand corner and go to "system settings'
[08:30] <mongo> click on keyboard layout and you will see where you can add more
[08:31] <tokarbol> ok, I can add keyboards there
[08:31] <tokarbol> but that's only after I log in
[08:31] <tokarbol> there's no gear on the logon screen
[08:31] <mongo> they will be there when you log out too
[08:31] <mongo> after you add them that is
[08:32] <tokarbol> I added "Bambara" keyboard, but the logon screen shows me just pl
[08:32] <tokarbol> actually, I believe I have english locales installed as well, but there's no "en" keyboard
[08:33] <tokarbol> yeah, it seems that the user keyboard list has no correlation to the logon screen
[08:33] <mongo> odd, I just added bambra and logged out and it was there
[08:34] <tokarbol> (I guess that's the bug for...)
[08:34] <tokarbol> but that's too late, I mean, I need to be able to provide more keyboards to the user who has never logged in
[08:34] <tokarbol> you know, OEM
[08:35] <mongo> it is offering it for me, here let me reboot and make sure
[08:35] <tokarbol> maybe I am using a different menu?
[08:36] <tokarbol> ok, I can see I have an update to lightdm package available
[08:36] <tokarbol> will try that
[08:39] <mongo> I think you would have to preseed the languages you wanted to have
[08:42] <tokarbol> well... I upgraded, but I cannot see the languages on the logon screen
[08:42] <tokarbol> are the preseed values in the templates of lightdm?
[08:44] <mongo> yes I am not sure where, I only have to deal with a few languages per location
[08:47] <tokarbol> but still that's asomething you preseed, right?
[08:48] <KI7MT> Quesiton, can we add the system monitor to the top bar in Unity?
[08:48] <tokarbol> the seed is not in lightdm
[09:02] <jokerdino> my eyes are burning
[09:02] <jokerdino> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/947748
[09:02] <jokerdino> how do i temporarily fix this bug?
[09:02] <jokerdino> suggest an appropriate workaround
[09:07] <mongo> jokerdino: install xbacklight, it will let you set the level
[09:11] <mongo> jokerdino: i went back to xubuntu :) that worked too
[09:11] <tokarbol> Any idea how I can add languages to the unity-greeter screen?
[09:11] <tokarbol> (no user-specific)
[09:16] <jokerdino> lol thanks for the suggestion mongo
[09:17] <jokerdino> tokarbol: you want to change the language of the login screne?
[09:18] <tokarbol> yes, but I want to have more than one
[09:19] <jokerdino> oh i see.
[09:20] <jokerdino> i am not aware of any ways to do that
[09:20] <tokarbol> so why the drop-down menu at all? or is it planned?
[09:20] <jokerdino> i think the dropdown is for the input characters
[09:22] <jokerdino> http://askubuntu.com/questions/92297/how-do-i-set-the-login-manager-to-enable-change-languages-at-login
[09:23] <jokerdino> tokarbol:  may be that is of any relevance to you.
[09:25] <tokarbol> I think this only applies to the GTK greeter
[09:25] <tokarbol> but thanks for the tip
[09:26] <tokarbol> I tried this for unity-greeter, it triggered no change
[09:26] <jokerdino> well, tough luck then
[09:26] <tokarbol> it is

[11:42] <tokarbol> hey, mongo, I found why I could not see the keyboards for my user
[11:43] <tokarbol> a couple of days ago I put "greeter-hide-users=true" to lightdm.conf
[11:43] <tokarbol> because this shows me the "Other" user selection, which otherwise is not shown
[11:44] <tokarbol> when I commented this out and click a user, I actually get selection of user keyboards
[11:44] <tokarbol> Is there a way to retain the "Other" user selection while having multiple users?
[11:45] <tokarbol> Reading this:
[11:45] <tokarbol> https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-greeter/+bug/915390
[11:45] <tokarbol> I get the impression that a long list was removed on purpose,
[11:46] <tokarbol> but for a user that has no keyboard selected, it might be better to list a long one instead of just one... or let him run a chooser or something
[12:03] <candtalan> Hi there. Am looking for novice help about the dash. And lens(es).
[12:23] <AnAnt> how do I change the unity-greeter sound theme ?
[12:28] <brendand> AnAnt, easy
[12:28] <brendand> AnAnt, select Startup Applications from the sessions menu
[12:29] <AnAnt> what sessions menu ?
[12:29] <brendand> AnAnt, in the top right hand corner
[12:29] <brendand> AnAnt, where Shutdown is
[12:29] <AnAnt> is that after login ?
[12:30] <brendand> AnAnt, don't make this difficult :)
[12:30] <AnAnt> I don't see a sessions menu in unity-greeter
[12:30] <brendand> AnAnt, i assume you're using the system in question right now?
[12:31] <brendand> AnAnt, the sound isn't played by lightdm
[12:31] <brendand> AnAnt, you are talking about the login sound right?
[12:31] <AnAnt> no, I am talking about sound played when unity-greeter is started
[12:32] <brendand> the one that sounds like a bounce?
[12:32] <AnAnt> to me it sounds like a drum actually
[12:32] <brendand> AnAnt, yeah
[12:34] <brendand> ok, that one's probably harder
[12:34] <AnAnt> so ?
[12:37] <glosoli> Anyone uses Deja-Dup
[12:37] <glosoli>  ?
[12:38] <scriptwarlock> yo
[12:39] <glosoli> I am interested to know how the backup works, I mean if I delete some folder form my home dir I am ReBackuping, would it remove it from backup too
[12:40] <jack> man duplicity
[12:40] <scriptwarlock> glosoli, make a test folder and try to backup and delete see what happens
[12:44] <glosoli> I know that, just asked firstly maybe someone already knows
[12:44] <candtalan> I press superkey. I see the dash, with focus on the house.  how to get focus on files?
[12:45] <glosoli> you can't as far as I know
[12:46] <brendand> AnAnt, you need to make an ogg file and replace /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/dialog-question.ogg with it
[12:46] <brendand> then restart
[12:50] <candtalan>  for lens testing, how to explain http://popey.com/blog/2012/03/06/improved-unity-files-lens-call-for-testing/  shows files focus?
[12:52] <popey> candtalan: I dont understand the question
[13:03] <candtalan> I press " [super] + F" and I don't see what  you seem to, with the dash focus on files. Have i misunderstood?
[13:05] <popey> candtalan: it certainly should do. super+A = applications, super+F = files
[13:05] <candtalan> ah, thanks, I trust  it is not case sensitive?
[13:09] <popey> well, you dont need shift held candtalan
[13:09] <popey> just press super and the f key
[13:09] <candtalan> ok thx I will  register a bug
[13:22] <scriptwarlock> heh back up tools takes time to upload..
[13:27] <AnAnt> brendand: is /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/dialog-question.ogg hardcoded in lightdm / unity-greeter ?
[13:28] <AnAnt> brendand: I mean doesn't it take dialog-question from the sound theme I use

[14:27] <scriptwarlock> Rabenklaue, wine is working here but its 32 not 64
[14:29] <croffe> Hello. Pangolin install goes to grub rescue for me after install due to FakeRaid setup, and I have not been able to boot it, but this worked on 11.10.  Any tips on troubleshooting? I've seen some posts on dmraid, but no go fixing it yet. I'm missing Ubuntu on my desktop already :(
[14:50] <ph8> hi all, I want to do something crazy, like start joining my linux servers and/or desktops to our windows domain - what's the best way to do that these days? I found articles on centrify but i can't find the package in Precise?
[14:53] <scriptwarlock> ph8, samba?
[14:53] <Ian_> indeed, samba
[14:53] <Ian_> but iirc, it's better to join you windows pcs to a linux network
[14:53] <Ian_> :p
[14:53] <Ian_> it's what we do/did at uni
[14:54] <ph8> ha
[14:54] <ph8> samba looks complicated?
[14:54] <ph8> hence i looked at centrify and one more...
[14:55] <Etherael> So oneiric has been utterly screwed for the past month or so and I got sick of it and decided to try pangolin, after the install it looks like the ubuntu installer silently overwrote the bootblock of my secondary hard disk that contained a truecrypt lock. Wow... that's really amazingly incompetent.
[14:55] <ph8> Likewise-open5
[14:56] <Ian_> Etherael: you should be more careful, it's your incompetence that broke it too.
[14:56] <Etherael> Ian_: True, I did not imagine that it would actually install grub to both disks right over the top of an existing MBR without so much as a warning, when the disk I asked it to install to is completely different from the disk with the truecrypt bootblock.
[14:57] <Etherael> I guess i underestimated just how badly things are getting with ubuntu.
[14:57] <ph8> so the question really scriptwarlock appears to be, Centrify or Likewise open?
[14:59] <scriptwarlock> ph8, well are comfortable with centrify?
[15:02] <Ian_Corne> Etherael: well, i doubt it installed in but, but rather on your first disk or something, with the other one already having grub, which was updated?
[15:02] <Ian_Corne> now, all this doesn't matter, is there any way to restore?
[15:02] <Ian_Corne> and did you file a bug report?
[15:03] <Etherael> Ian_Corne: I don't know if you would even consider it a bug? It didn't i nstall over the top of the truecrypt drive, it just nuked only the bootblock and replaced it with grub.
[15:04] <Etherael> Two drives, one which actually was the target drive, and was installed, and another drive that has a full disk encrypted OS on it that I didn't want touched.
[15:04] <Etherael> It installed to the one it was supposed to, but nuked *both* disk bootblocks and installed grub on them.
[15:04] <Ian_Corne> hmm
[15:04] <Ian_Corne> well that is a bug
[15:04] <Ian_Corne> why would it install grub twice..
[15:05] <Etherael> I have no idea.
[15:05] <Ian_Corne> I've done many installs on multi disk systems, never had it install on more than one disk
[15:05] <Ian_Corne> so you should file a bugreport
[15:05] <Etherael> it didn't install on more than one disk, the other disk is still there, it just installed grub on it's bootblock wiping out the truecrypt loader.
[15:05] <Etherael> which I think might effectively happen to be the same thing as nuking that entire disk.
[15:05] <Etherael> unfortunately for me.
[15:06] <Ian_Corne> so it installed grub on two disks while it shouldn't
[15:06] <scriptwarlock> Etherael, so it's supposed to install ubuntu on a single drive?
[15:06] <Ian_Corne> that's what you have to report.
[15:06] <Etherael> which it did, yes.
[15:06] <Etherael> it just installed grub on all disks attached to the system (two)
[15:07] <Etherael> where do I file bug reports?
[15:07] <Ian_Corne> launchpad
[15:08] <scriptwarlock> Etherael, that happened to me before then the next time i installed ubuntu to the second machine i dettach the second drive which has a lot of files..
[15:08] <Etherael> it may well be the entire drive is actually completely hosed.
[15:08] <Etherael> the one it wasn't supposed to touch.
[15:08] <Etherael> I am trying to mount the partitions via truecrypt now, no luck.
[15:09] <scriptwarlock> Etherael, awtz that hurts
[15:10] <Etherael> Not entirely, partition was mostly just for gaming, I only even noticed it was nuked because pangolin is an even bigger fail than oneiric.
[15:10] <Etherael> I got so sick of it it drove me back to windows.
[15:10] <Etherael> Hey, what do you know, that got nuked too.
[15:11] <nelhage> Just upgraded to Precise. Apparently, suspend no longer locks my screen, I think because I have autologin enabled. Is there some secret setting I can kick to revert this behavior?
[15:11] <scriptwarlock> Etherael, that means ubuntu combined the 2drives to one without prompting you
[15:12] <Etherael> Script I don't think so, it's not mounting those partitions
[15:12] <Etherael> well, at least I hope not.
[15:12] <Etherael> nope, it's not.
[15:12] <Etherael> they're the same size they used to be, just the bootblock is gone, so effectively they're gone too, since the bootblock is the key that unlocks them.
[15:13] <scriptwarlock> Etherael, have hope to recover
[15:13] <Etherael> I don't think I could be bothered trying to find that truecrypt recovery iso, who knows where it is by now, and it's only games, they can be reinstalled.
[15:13] <Etherael> I don't keep any kind of critical data in windows.
[15:14] <scriptwarlock> Etherael, have you reported the incident?
[15:14] <Etherael> Nope, first I want to see if this drive really is definitively gone forever.
[15:15] <scriptwarlock> Etherael, hard lesson to learn eh... be very watchful next time
[15:16] <Etherael> There's no way I'm ever going to expect an OS to nuke a bootblock on a drive it was told not to touch, that's not careful, it's just stupidity on the part of that OS.
[15:16] <Etherael> The lesson to learn is, don't use this.
[15:16] <Etherael> Lesson learned.
[15:17] <scriptwarlock> Etherael, if you can report this to the devs things might change
[15:18] <Etherael> I don't think so anymore, I have spent about a month just trying deseperately to get oneiric to a usable state, it was after getting thoroughly sick of that I finally cracked and decided to give pangolin a shot, as far as I can see the entire edifice of what ubuntu was is just crumbling into uselessness.
[15:18] <Etherael> and this is definitely the last straw.
[15:22] <ior3k> Etherael: would you mind reporting that though? It may be some unusual combination of hardware that's causing this--if you report it, maybe the next person with a similar combination won't get their second hard drive hosed
[15:22] <Etherael> Yeah.
[15:26] <Sidewinder1> Etherael, I most certainly understand how you feel; I've lost data before as well. The two things that I note, always have a back-up if it's irreplaceable data and be especially careful using OSs that haven't been officially released (fixed). But please do file the bug report as ior3k and scriptwarlock suggested.
[15:26] <Etherael> Like I said, it's not irreplaceable data, it's just a bunch of games, I'm just stunned that something so blatantly bad was ever allowed to happen.
[15:27] <Etherael> I dread to imagine what will end up happening when someone does actually lose some critical data because of this or an issue similar to this.
[15:28] <tarvid> I am having a number  of hardware recognition issues on this laptop an Acer 7763Z-4088. Any reason not to try the 12.04 beta?
[15:31] <scriptwarlock> tarvid, what issues could that be?
[15:31] <tarvid> screen and monitor detection, suspend
[15:32] <scriptwarlock> tarvid, we never know until you plug the live usb stick of ubuntu 12.04
[15:33] <brendand> Etherael, what makes you so sure another OS/distro wouldn't have done the same thing?
[15:34] <croffe> Hello. Pangolin install goes to grub rescue for me after install due to FakeRaid setup, and I have not been able to boot it, but this worked on 11.10.  Any tips on troubleshooting? I've seen some posts on dmraid, but no go fixing it yet. I'm missing Ubuntu on my desktop already :(
[15:35] <Sidewinder1> Etherael, I'm in no way doubting your veracity, and it is a VERY serious error, but I'm more than a little curious as to why no one else has experienced this; at least not to the best of my knowledge.
[15:37] <Sidewinder1> Etherael, I know it's a bad time but did you do anything out of the ordinary with the install? And was it a fresh inst. or did you use the upgrade tool oneric--->precise?
[15:37] <Etherael> brendand: Because it would be utterly retarded? The only reason I can think of to actually design this in is because you don't ever want to be in a situation where the drive that is booting does not have a bootblock that boots the OS your user jus tinstalled, and you figure hey whats the worst that could happen, it will just nuke a windows bootblock but grub can boot that os anyway so no worries.
[15:37] <Etherael> Sidewinder1: Upgrade.
[15:38] <Etherael> I've decided to try find my truecrypt rescue disk, reinstalling all those games will probably take longer than that.
[15:38] <Sidewinder1> Etherael, Perhaps that's part of it? Still totally unacceptable.
[15:39] <scriptwarlock> Sidewinder1, i did that before but i never reported the matter because of my carelessness. and now he has the guts to voice out :)
[15:39] <Sidewinder1> Ian_Corne, Yes, but, I'd certainly be a little miffed, in his shoes. :-)
[15:40] <brendand> Etherael, who says it's designed in?
[15:40] <Etherael> Difference between a bug and a feature.
[15:41] <Etherael> if it's not designed in and it was just accidental, that doesn't really make it any better.
[15:41] <brendand> Etherael, i would suggest you describe your scenario to the guys on #ubuntu-installer. they'll tell you if it was intentional or a bug
[15:42] <Sidewinder1> scriptwarlock, Well, I'm an LTS guy; I upgraded (as opposed to fresh, which is generally recommended) from Hardy to Lucid with only very minor issues. The fact that PP hasn't been released is need for quite a bit more caution, IMHO.
[15:43] <tarvid> any easy way to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 beta directly?
[15:43] <scriptwarlock> tarvid, update-manager -d
[15:44] <scriptwarlock> Sidewinder1, true
[15:44] <jack> i'd edit sources.list and apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:45] <Daekdroom> That is a good way to break your system.
[15:47] <tarvid> thanks, I have a decent connection for a few days asnd this laptop is a good place to test
[15:48] <scriptwarlock> tarvid, you sure you wanna do that? were still using beta1
[15:48] <tarvid> of course not
[15:49] <edgy> Hi, I heard good things about electricsheep but I don't know  how to make it my screensaver and how to choose one sheep
[15:49] <tarvid> but I'd prefer to have some input at beta than after the release
[15:51] <edgy> e.g: http://v2d7c.sheepserver.net/cgi/dead.cgi?id=12485
[16:00] <brendand> Etherael, http://pzolee.blogs.balabit.com/2010/07/grub2-and-truecrypt-windows-linux-dual-boot-system/
[16:02] <scriptwarlock> edgy, be aware that you are in ubuntu+1 support, you have any concerns?
[16:02] <edgy> scriptwarlock: yes, I think it's a bug in ubuntu+1 because I read that it should work by default one launched
[16:04] <Etherael> brendand: I'm not sure why you're linking that to me?
[16:05] <bazhang> !find gnome-documents
[16:05] <bazhang> !info gnome-documents
[16:07] <edgy> scriptwarlock: electricsheep doesn't even show in kde screensavers
[16:16] <edgy> I also have an nvidia card and plugged an external monitor to my laptop but it's not recognized
[16:17] <scriptwarlock> edgy, installed nvidia settings?
[16:17] <edgy> scriptwarlock: yes
[16:17] <edgy> scriptwarlock: then what?
[16:17] <scriptwarlock> edgy, mine is working properly what nvidia vc you have?
[16:18] <edgy> scriptwarlock: gtx 560M
[16:19] <scriptwarlock> edgy, enabled the twinview?
[16:20] <edgy> scriptwarlock: no, I don't know how to do that, I used to just plug a monitor in my previous laptop with intel card and I get a pop-up
[16:21] <scriptwarlock> edgy, take a look at your nvidia settings you can find the twinview option if you plugin the second monitor
[16:22] <edgy> scriptwarlock: ok I got it and now the external monitor works but it displays a different screen
[16:23] <edgy> scriptwarlock: ok got it now, I need to choose clone
[16:23] <edgy> scriptwarlock: that is very difficult ;)
[16:23] <scriptwarlock> edgy, :)
[16:24] <edgy> scriptwarlock: seriously, is this the way people do multiple monitors with nvidia?
[16:24] <scriptwarlock> edgy, dunno
[16:24] <edgy> scriptwarlock: for you?
[16:25] <scriptwarlock> edgy, nope
[16:25] <edgy> scriptwarlock: sorry you tried nvidia before?
[16:26] <scriptwarlock> edgy, yes using it now
[16:26] <edgy> scriptwarlock: and when you plug the external monitor you got a pop-up or you need to manually launch nvidia-settings and set it from there?
[16:28] <scriptwarlock> edgy, when i'm using a laptop and wants to connect to the projector its auto
[16:28] <edgy> scriptwarlock: so you just plug the project and viola you got your screen in the projector?
[16:29] <scriptwarlock> edgy, on pc this is only once you configure and save and lifetiime you have dual monitor enabled
[16:30] <edgy> scriptwarlock: I have a laptop and it's not working as you say, is this a bug?
[16:30] <scriptwarlock> edgy, yes with the laptop and i seldom use the fn+f3
[16:30] <scriptwarlock> edgy, with ubuntu 12.04?
[16:30] <edgy> scriptwarlock: yes
[16:31] <scriptwarlock> edgy, i think not all laptops has the same as mine this is just a cheap intel laptop
[16:31] <scriptwarlock> edgy, same behaviour
[16:32] <edgy> scriptwarlock: ok I will try to live with it
[16:32] <edgy> thanks for your care
[16:32] <scriptwarlock> edgy, can be a bug when fn+f... wont respond
[16:33] <edgy> scriptwarlock: on next reboot I will test this fn+f3, actually I forgot to try it
[16:53] <pdkl> installation bug, when install manually,   and your /home is xfs, it doesnt install xfsprogs && xfsdump by default so when it boots it complains about check disk error.
[17:01] <ScG^Dedicated> anyone here that could help me with a problem that I have in AppArmor in Ubuntu 12.04?
[17:17] <bladimirsq> hi there
[17:17] <bladimirsq> hi im just trying Ubuntu 12.04 beta.... i got a problem with internet connetion.... DHCP assignation its ok incluiding defaut gateway address in the network information are ok buttt i cant reach an answer when i ping the default gateway or any address no internet any ideas???
[17:19] <pdkl> ip addr | grep inet
[17:19] <pdkl> test to see if you can ping yourself.
[17:20] <ScG^Dedicated> in 12.04 I added a Firefox profile in AppArmor (completely default I only created it) and now my Firefox does not load anymore. Anyone that could help me with that? :)
[17:23] <bladimirsq> i can ping myself and any machines in my local network i mean plugged in the same switch
[17:25] <tarvid> bladimirsq, check your default route. Do you more than one interface?
[17:26] <bladimirsq> i guess can be a problem with default gatway address maybe the iptables or routing tables Idk
[17:26] <tarvid> if you have more than one avahi does not always make the best choice
[17:27] <bladimirsq> noo its just one interface
[17:29] <tarvid> have you tried to ping the net hop?
[17:30] <tarvid> next
[17:31] <tarvid> easy to have two e.g. wireless and Ethernet
[17:32] <bladimirsq> no i just have ethernet
[17:35] <bladimirsq> ill get a wireless modem to try if the problem is just with the ethernet interface... anyway im completly sure there is a problem with 12.04 becouse 11.10 works porperty
[17:35] <tarvid> what is the gateway when you type route
[17:36] <bladimirsq> ill download wireshark to follow the ping command
[17:36] <tarvid> it is not the interface if you \can access the local lan
[17:37] <tarvid> I am just upgrading to the beta from 11.10
[17:37] <bladimirsq> yeah but maybe its a problem whit iptables or something
[17:37] <bladimirsq> ahhh ok ill try the upgrade
[17:38] <bladimirsq> thanks tarvid
[17:58] <alkisg> Hi, did the wheel of the mouse break in some recent update, or is it a local problem of mine?
[17:59] <alkisg> I.e. wheel works for middle click, but not for scrolling
[18:07] <jbwiv__> can someone point me to instructions for getting three monitors working under 12.04? I have two nvidia cards and three monitors. Not sure if I need to configure xinerama...if so, I did try one of my old xinerama configs and while I can get three monitors showing in Ubuntu 2D, they're all mirrors. anyway, I need to understand the appopriate method of configuration here. thank you very much in advance...
[18:12] <jbwiv__> is there a documentation wiki for 12.04?
[18:13] <ScG^Dedicated> jbwiv: I am pretty noobisch still with linux in general but I would suppose it would not differ that much from how to do it in 11.10
[18:16] <aamir> where should i post crash report, of unity + compiz for 12.01?
[18:17] <jbwiv__> ScG^Dedicated: it didn't work in 11.10. supposedly 12.04 brings better multi-monitor support
[18:18] <coz_> hey guys.. I am getting no options for setting up a printer ,, in this case a kodak thermal printer dock
[18:19] <ScG^Dedicated> jbwiv I cannot help you more then to link you this: http://www.google.nl/search?q=ubuntu+12.04+multi+monitor+support&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:nl:official&client=firefox-a
[18:23] <tarvid> package gconf2 3.2.3-3ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
[18:23] <tarvid> anything I should do?

[18:51] <DrHalan> hey guys.. why isn't empathy updated? it still on 3.3.5
[18:54] <blackbug> anyone here??
[18:54] <trism> blackbug: yes
[18:54] <tarvid> suspend with lid close now works
[18:54] <Daekdroom> 255 and you.
[18:54] <trism> !info libgtk-3-dev | blackbug
[18:55] <brobostigon> !info empathy unstable
[18:57] <blackbug> trism + ubottu: I just updated apt repository and now its recognizing libgtk-3-dev..weird. its installing you, i will update in mins.
[18:58] <trism> blackbug: it seems you will also need libglib2.0-dev and libcanberra-gtk3-dev
[19:06] <lukescharf> Does Precise include Gnome 3.3?  Or is it still Gnome 3.2?
[19:09] <blackbug> trism: i installed libcanberra-gtk3-dev as per your suggestion, and it worked..thanks.. although libcanberra-gtk-dev was installed previously but somehow didn't worked. thanks for helping out.
[19:09] <trism> blackbug: good to hear
[19:11] <trism> lukescharf: we have bits and pieces of 3.3.90 (which I guess is 3.4), still missing gnome-shell and a few others, but that should be coming bug 941755
[19:12] <lukescharf> Is the plan to track 3.40 as it isreleased?
[19:15] <trism> lukescharf: I don't have any more information besides what I can see in the repos and what is in that bug report (and the linked clutter bug it depends on) sorry
[19:16] <SpamapS> Ugh, what happened to ctrl-alt-(left|right|up|down) for workspace switching?
[19:17]  * SpamapS refers to the handy new keyboard shortcut thingy and sees that it is now, for some reason, super-shift-cursor
[19:17] <SpamapS> which is annoying because it makes all kinds of things happen before I switch. :-P
[19:17] <MadEchidna> hello folks
[19:18] <MadEchidna> so I installed the beta last night, and ran all the updates. Now, when I try to launch a program from the dash, clicking the icon does nothing
[19:18] <MadEchidna> is there something I can do to reset unity?
[19:18] <blackbug> i want to debug a core file, but i cannot see it inspite the application crashes with segmentation fault(core dumped) msg. i already checked my ulimit, and its set to unlimited. what could be a reason for this?
[19:32] <eitch> hi guys, does anyone know if locking the screen is broken in precise?
[19:32] <itaylor57> eitch, it is for me
[19:33] <eitch> itaylor57, it is broken for you?
[19:33] <itaylor57> yes
[19:34] <eitch> damm... quite an important feature for me...
[19:34] <itaylor57> i will try agin and see if i still have the problem
[19:34] <lukescharf> trism: Many thanks!  I ran the Oneiric beta, and I'm trying to decide when to upgrade to the Precise beta, and Gnome improvements are something I'm looking for.  Many thanks for the info!
[19:34] <itaylor57> it will cause me to reboot
[19:34] <ScG^Dedicated> how do you lock the screen anyway xD
[19:35] <eitch> itaylor57, on my machine nothing happens. Not if i press ctrl+alt+l or select the action in the system menu
[19:35] <itaylor57> nope it is working for me now after the updates
[19:35] <eitch> ScG^Dedicated, ^^
[19:35] <ScG^Dedicated> :P
[19:36] <ScG^Dedicated> in precise the lock is working for me :)
[19:36] <ScG^Dedicated> just checked
[19:37] <eitch> ScG^Dedicated, ok, thanks.
[19:37] <ScG^Dedicated> eitch: you're welcome :)
[19:38] <eitch> Which package is screen lock, so that i can check if there is a bug report and then maybe report one?
[19:38] <ScG^Dedicated> eitch: I am sorry but that I do not know
[19:39] <eitch> ScG^Dedicated, ok, thanks
[19:46] <pdkl> im trying to get used to unity.
[19:46] <ScG^Dedicated> that's good :)
[19:46] <mongo> if it wasn't for the silly new alt-tab action unity/gnome shell would be fine but it is pretty inconsistant
[19:47] <pdkl> but having two monitors makes it a bit rough, i would perfer just one launchbar, not one per monitor
[19:47] <mongo> it is a lot more mouse driven though which is a bummer
[19:48] <mongo> is vswitch fairly well baked? I am debating replacing bridge-utils with it
[19:48] <pdkl> actually im finding im going to the mouse less often. there is keycombos to switch appilications.. aka <super>"windows key" - 1
[19:49] <mongo> pdkl: I often need to switch between three windows, two of which are the same application
[19:49] <mongo> alt-tab on all other GUI's post windows 3.1 has been LIFO, now I have to think about if it needs to be alt-tab or alt-~
[19:50] <pdkl> mongo, alt tab to the correct window
[19:50] <pdkl> keep holding alt, and arrow down
[19:50] <mongo> pdkl: that requires me to move my hand off home key row
[19:50] <mongo> so a massive step back IMHO
[19:51] <mongo> same as having to use a mouse
[19:51] <pdkl> use vim keys
[19:51] <pdkl> super - j /k
[19:51] <mongo> really I think i'll just help get kerb5 support into xfce
[19:51] <pdkl> i just did it
[19:51] <mongo> krb5 support is the main reason I don't use xfce at work
[19:51] <pdkl> super-j
[19:51] <pdkl> does it
[19:52] <mongo> pdkl: still more than alt tab tab
[19:52] <mongo> which is how every other UI does it
[19:52] <mongo> IMHO they should have made alt-~ the fancy non-power user keyset and left alt-tab the same
[19:52] <pdkl> i was offering how to do it now, now on how others do it
[19:53] <pdkl> hmm pause on alt key does  ittoo
[19:53] <mongo> pdkl: it is still a regresson, it requires thought vs. I want the window I was using n times ago
[19:54] <mongo> they could have put a pause to bring up the fancy window too, so an instant alt-tab-tab would work as before
[19:54] <mongo> gnome has just decided to move to where the money is, in touch centric UI's
