dualMoon | so, first off, any *known* issues installing WINE in 12.04b1? | 00:25 |
dualMoon | alright, well I s'pose that answers that. | 00:27 |
dualMoon | so here's what I'm hitting when I try to install WINE. I've tried with and without the WINE Team PPA. | 00:28 |
dualMoon | gettext-base: Conflicts: gettext-base but 0.18.1.1-5ubuntu3 is to be installed. | 00:28 |
dualMoon | gettext-base: Conflicts: gettext-base but 0.18.1.1-5ubuntu3 is installed. | 00:28 |
Pru | Where can I find info about Partial Upgrade to 12.04 beta? | 00:36 |
micahg | dualMoon: that package ins't multiarch'd yet | 00:36 |
=== log is now known as eating | ||
Pru | Becasue "An upgrade from 'precise' to 'oneiric' is not supported with this tool." | 00:37 |
dualMoon | micahg: ah. i think i understand what that means. anyway i understand the consequences. I assume there's no word on when it will be, eh? | 00:39 |
micahg | dualMoon: please file a bug and tag multiarch with steps to reproduce | 00:39 |
Pru | No word on when. But is there a work around? | 00:40 |
meerkats | will 12.04 be released at the beginning or end of 4? | 00:40 |
Daekdroom | !schedule | meerkats | 00:40 |
ubottu | meerkats: A schedule of Precise Pangolin (12.04) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PreciseReleaseSchedule | 00:40 |
Pru | So I made a mistake trying to Update from 11 to 12beta with out sufficient time for a full install and had to run and shut down. Now I can't get to beta. I feel like this isn't the place for such an amateur question. | 00:44 |
Pru | AskUbuntu sent me here... | 00:44 |
tomreyn | shuttng down during an upgrade surely isn't a good idea... you could probably fix it now using apt-get on the command line | 00:46 |
tomreyn | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Upgrades | 00:48 |
Dulak | Is the precise kernel affected by the 3.x kernel power regression or is it fixed? Anyone know? | 00:50 |
Daekdroom | Dulak, I think the fix was backported to the Ubuntu kernel. | 00:55 |
Dulak | Daekdroom: sweet, thanks, gonna try precise out on my netbook, just didn't want to lose battery from the upgrade | 00:57 |
Fyodorovna | tomreyn, try this is a terminal sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install | 00:57 |
=== eating is now known as log | ||
tomreyn | Fyodorovna: i think you want to walk to Pru | 01:00 |
Fyodorovna | tomreyn, ? | 01:00 |
tomreyn | Fyodorovna: you seem to be responding to a question i have not asked. | 01:01 |
Pru | I too am confused | 01:02 |
Fyodorovna | tomreyn, ah Doh sorry.. try this is a terminal sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install Pru | 01:02 |
Pru | Errors... Do you want specifics? | 01:03 |
blair | will 12.04 have gcc 4.7 packages, as it looks like it's releasing next week? | 01:06 |
snadge | luls | 01:07 |
snadge | blair: I would guess.. no | 01:07 |
snadge | unless it happens to fix a bunch of existing issues without creating many more | 01:07 |
blair | snadge, i don't except the whole OS to be recompiled, just wondering if packages will be available; it'll be nice to have more C++11 support | 01:08 |
Daekdroom | We're way past FeatureFreeze, blair | 01:08 |
Daekdroom | !info gcc | 01:08 |
ubottu | gcc (source: gcc-defaults (1.112ubuntu5)): GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 (precise), package size 4 kB, installed size 41 kB (Only available for any all) | 01:08 |
blair | does FeatureFreeze include non-"core" packages? i get that 4.6.3 will be the default compiler, but ubuntu has 4.4, 4.5 also, so it could provide 4.7? | 01:11 |
snadge | im reasonably happy with precise as it stands.. i mean.. i use it on 5 systems | 01:11 |
Pru | So since I messed up during my upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04b and Cannot Partial Upgrade how can I get back to 11.10? | 01:11 |
snadge | you could always install it yourself from a ppa or something like that | 01:11 |
snadge | or use debian sid ;) | 01:11 |
blair | true, somebody will probably make a ppa with it | 01:12 |
blair | well, i'm trying to get our company to move 500 desktops from fedora 13 to 12.04, debian sid won't work ;) | 01:12 |
snadge | lol @ fedora on the desktop.. i have an f16 vm | 01:12 |
snadge | i can see why you're wanting to migrate away from it | 01:12 |
Daekdroom | Pru, getting back to 11.10 is not doable even when 12.04 is working alright. Reinstall. | 01:13 |
snadge | they use systemd.. *shudders*.. im glad ubuntu has resisted that | 01:13 |
snadge | or was that a debian decision.. i dont know | 01:13 |
Daekdroom | Doesn't Ubuntu use upstart instead? | 01:13 |
Daekdroom | Which has its own share of criticism? | 01:13 |
snadge | right but systemd supposedly supercedes upstart | 01:14 |
micahg | snadge: that's not necessarily true | 01:14 |
snadge | i cant remember why exactly.. but the most horrible part about systemd is the ugly new syntax | 01:14 |
snadge | and lack of backwards compatibility | 01:14 |
snadge | at least upstart got that part right | 01:15 |
snadge | systemd appears to throw the baby out with the bath water | 01:15 |
snadge | and uses a confusing way to access it.. systemctl.. when theres already a sysctl | 01:16 |
snadge | http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/why.html | 01:23 |
snadge | fascinating :) | 01:23 |
snadge | http://undacuvabrutha.wordpress.com/2011/04/29/why-ubuntu-should-continue-with-upstart-for-11-10/ | 01:23 |
scientes | snadge, systemd is nice | 01:23 |
scientes | and its alot easier to get your head around than upstart | 01:23 |
snadge | those two articles contain probably more than you could ever want to know about upstart and systemd.. and why ubuntu is still using upstart.. and what makes systemd apparently so much better | 01:23 |
scientes | and does a hell of alot better stuff | 01:23 |
scientes | snadge, socket activation | 01:24 |
snadge | i just wish he had've used something other than "systemctl" to interface with it | 01:24 |
snadge | that annoys me for some reason | 01:24 |
snadge | the guy is a smart guy.. but he sucks at choosing names for things and interfacing with it | 01:24 |
scientes | its fine | 01:25 |
scientes | you are making a bikeshed argument | 01:25 |
jelmer | scientes: socket activation is only useful in a limited number of cases (desktop system with some daemons that are irregularly used) | 01:25 |
jelmer | scientes: upstart can do it too, if necessary | 01:25 |
scientes | jelmer, no, it support persistant socket activation | 01:25 |
scientes | also cgroup clean killing | 01:25 |
scientes | and socket activation is _very_ important for parallel startup | 01:25 |
snadge | the best part about upstart on ubuntu.. is you dont need to know how it works if you're just an end user | 01:26 |
jelmer | scientes: what is persistant socket activation? | 01:26 |
snadge | you can use the service command.. or the original init.d scripts | 01:26 |
scientes | so you can just start everything, and it only blocks when it needs something back, but ifs a one-direction socket it can just write to a buffer | 01:26 |
scientes | and it enables services to restart without interruption | 01:26 |
Dulak | Mmm, keyboard layout is defaulting to the regular english instead of the dvorak one I have set as highest priority... Anyone can confirm this? | 01:26 |
jelmer | scientes: it also means you don't start something until the moment something else opens the socket | 01:26 |
scientes | jelmer, i forget what systemd calls it, but it starts up ont he first connection, and it can controll when to shutdown, not started for every connection | 01:26 |
scientes | jelmer, but if you shut down, then socket activation still works | 01:27 |
scientes | which allows you to be much smarted with RAM usage | 01:27 |
scientes | *smarter | 01:27 |
jelmer | meh, RAM is cheap and the overhead of a daemon that's not doing anything is usually negligable | 01:28 |
scientes | <jelmer> meh, RAM is cheap and the overhead of a daemon that's not doing anything is usually negligable | 01:28 |
scientes | ram is _NOT_ cheap | 01:28 |
scientes | oh, geeze, to that statement | 01:28 |
jelmer | I'd rather just have the daemon started earlier so the response time is lower | 01:28 |
Pru | Thanks Daekdroom! I thought. Maybe in a couple of years Ill be able to hand with all of you | 01:29 |
scientes | systemd is way better | 01:29 |
scientes | it will improve boot times significantly | 01:29 |
scientes | and doesn't require a kernel patch for readahead | 01:29 |
scientes | like upstart does | 01:29 |
jelmer | scientes: the memory consumption of most daemons we're talking about here is trivial if they're idle, so in those terms RAM is cheap | 01:33 |
jelmer | scientes: systemd delays starting daemons until something accesses them | 01:33 |
jelmer | I'd be interested in seeing some comparisons in startup time between systemd, upstart and sysv | 01:33 |
jelmer | anyway, sleep | 01:33 |
scientes | jelmer, how about cups | 01:34 |
scientes | I have a low-power system here that had crazy-ass cupage going on | 01:34 |
scientes | and i've never tried to print anything | 01:34 |
scientes | with systemd it would never be touched | 01:34 |
scientes | until someone actually tried to print | 01:34 |
scientes | same with sshd | 01:34 |
MountainX | scientes: opensuse uses systemd but it has a bug when the box is an NFS client. | 01:35 |
MountainX | And the bug is exactly related to things not starting up in parallel correctly. | 01:35 |
scientes | well nfs is in the kernel | 01:35 |
jelmer | scientes: you can't use socket activation for CUPS, CUPS does broadcasting of the available printers | 01:35 |
scientes | don't need socket activation there | 01:35 |
MountainX | networking isn't started when it should be, so the system takes forever to boot up (if it is an NFS client) | 01:35 |
scientes | jelmer, systemd does socket activation for cups, also there is a big shit-storm about that broadcasting | 01:35 |
MountainX | the solution on opensuse is to switch away from systemd | 01:35 |
scientes | hmm, systemd+debian has worked for me | 01:36 |
MountainX | I had to switch to system v init on opensuse 12.1 to solve my problem | 01:36 |
MountainX | there was no other solution proposed in the thread over there | 01:36 |
Daekdroom | Why not fix systemd instead of switching away? | 01:36 |
scientes | ^^^ | 01:36 |
MountainX | ultimately that exact systemd problem is what drove me over here to try Kubuntu 12.04. (where I got a whole new set of problems ;) | 01:37 |
jelmer | scientes: you should be comparing to a CUPS that's not broadcasting then though | 01:37 |
scientes | MountainX, funny, i have the exact same problem, but with UBUNTU + upstart | 01:37 |
MountainX | haha | 01:37 |
scientes | my computer has to wait for a 60 sec timeout "waiting for network" | 01:37 |
scientes | just because i use interfaces to set up a bridge | 01:37 |
scientes | which i guess upstart doesn't like | 01:38 |
jelmer | scientes: what is the memory consumption of the idle sshd process, and how long does it take to start up? | 01:38 |
scientes | cause i want my virtualmachines bridged | 01:38 |
scientes | jelmer, you know you could benchmark that yourself | 01:39 |

vn | I am trying to install ubuntu on my new boxes, without success so far, except natty x86, will try precise after since I want a LTS...are we supposed to be able to do software RAID in non-LTS GUI installs? | 03:13 |
bjsnider | what do you mean without success? | 03:14 |
vn | CPUs are Core i7-3960X, i7-2600K, FX-8120 and an APU A8-3850, I dont know it its too bleeding edge.. | 03:16 |
vn | bjsnider: blinking cursor at boot, cant get in grub with shift | 03:16 |
bjsnider | i don't know why you'd have any ldm problem | 03:20 |
bjsnider | yes, you should be able to use lvm on non-lts releases | 03:20 |
vn | more like mdadm | 03:20 |
bjsnider | with a blinking cursor you're not getting much troubleshooting data | 03:21 |
vn | indeed, got any suggestions? my friend thinks it's because I have bleeding edge hardware | 03:22 |
bjsnider | can you try just doing a normal install, ie. not raid? | 03:23 |
vn | OK, let me put back the cpu and note partition infos | 03:24 |
bjsnider | i wouldn't call the i7-2600k bleeding edge at this point | 03:26 |
vn | indeed, not that one..but for lucid, it is | 03:29 |
Belial` | anyone having issues with menus not highlighting in orange? | 03:36 |
Belial` | and having to click to get submenus? | 03:36 |
vn | bjsnider: normal automated install = blinking cursor too | 03:51 |
bjsnider | do the livecds work? | 03:51 |
vn | yes | 03:51 |
bjsnider | you've got to be missing something here | 03:51 |
bjsnider | something's not right | 03:51 |
bjsnider | is there something crazy about your hard drives? | 03:52 |
bjsnider | because that's the only difference | 03:52 |

vn | im trying with oneiric, apparently there are patches to circumvent efi | 04:00 |
bjsnider | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting | 04:00 |
bjsnider | i would start out by manually partitioning the drive with gpt instead of mbr | 04:01 |
vn | is that something new? | 04:02 |
bjsnider | gpt is newer and more advanced than mbr, just like efi is more advanced than bios | 04:03 |
bjsnider | i'll bet that's your actual issue, is no gpt | 04:03 |
bjsnider | but it's not a big deal to do that | 04:03 |
vn | ok, trying that | 04:04 |
bjsnider | you should also be using 64-bit, but i assume you are | 04:06 |
vn | im tryin g x86 and 864 as I had experiences where x86 was better than x64 | 04:09 |
bjsnider | i'm not sure if this works at all on i386, so that could be your problem | 04:10 |
vn | livecd wouldnt boot no? | 04:11 |

magn3ts | banshee is configurable, itunes, windows media player quit on close, etc. | 07:50 |
micahg | right with sound menu integration, some people just want the window out of the way | 07:50 |
magn3ts | micahg: but rhythmbox doesn't respect the presence of the sound menu at all. :/ | 07:50 |
snadge | yeah.. i guess an option would be nice.. most chat programs i know of that have that behaviour.. its also configurable | 07:50 |
magn3ts | micahg: because I do understand that use case | 07:50 |
scientes | http://paste.debian.net/159796/ <-- what is going on? | 07:50 |
snadge | sure it does.. its in the volume menu | 07:50 |
micahg | oh? it shows up for me | 07:51 |
micahg | sorry, I meant sound indicator :) | 07:51 |
magn3ts | If I'm not running sound-indicator... I don't want it to keep playing because there's no way to control the music, like for example if someone isn't, cough, running unity | 07:51 |
snadge | theres only an option to pause it in the indicator menu as well.. you cant quit from there | 07:51 |
snadge | then press ctrl-q :p | 07:52 |
snadge | or music -> quit | 07:52 |
magn3ts | snadge: apparently... I'm too used to expose mode. I know that hacker types would probably squiel in terror at how I abuse shell's expose feature | 07:52 |

WilsonBradley | Well, havent had to many issues ... YET | 15:52 |

WilsonBradley | I want to backup everything | 15:52 |

ubottu | WilsonBradley: sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe | 15:59 |
bazhang | not much easier gui than that one | 16:00 |
WilsonBradley | thank you , Ithink I installed that.. just not sure if it would do a restore like System Restore in Windows... (registry) | 16:00 |

WilsonBradley | ? | 16:07 |
bazhang | like windows system restore? doubt it | 16:08 |
bazhang | generally its good practice to have a separate home partition, and regularly do backups, such as above, with rsync or the myriad other tools available | 16:09 |
WilsonBradley | Ya, Iv'e got it scheduled to backup my Home folder.. is that good enough? | 16:10 |
bazhang | sure | 16:11 |
bazhang | but to be absolutely safe /home is the better idea | 16:11 |
bicyclist | Sigh, my gnome 3 installation seems to be broken. No more window decorations. | 16:11 |
bicyclist | Anyone any hints? | 16:12 |
WilsonBradley | ok, thanks Bazhang.. will keep backing up the Home folder | 16:16 |
bazhang | ok | 16:16 |

andrewaclt | So I don't understand why you'r raging, when you're doing exactly as you should be? | 16:59 |
andrewaclt | I think brendand was asking for bugs in stable that you've reported that have been ignored | 16:59 |
brendand | crizzy, those bugs were reported 3 days ago | 16:59 |
crizzy | i'm raging because 11.10 doesn't work a crap either. for example none of the unity BUG fixes that landed in 12.04 hasn't been (and won't be) released as updates for 11.10 | 16:59 |

Bluefoxicy | can somebody pull up update-manager | 17:03 |
Bluefoxicy | and hit 'check' | 17:03 |
brendand | crizzy, so if they haven't fixed it how can it be landed in stable? | 17:03 |
crizzy | brendand: well i can't find the most annoying one (unity breaks completely if you change FONT SIZE), which they fixed for 12.04 unity, but won't release as update for either 11.04 or 11.10 | 17:04 |
Bluefoxicy | When I do this, after it downloads, mine spends 1-2 seconds between updates and updates the list with a handful of packages | 17:04 |
Bluefoxicy | so maybe 10-15 minutes later it finally finishes displaying all 119 updates | 17:04 |
brendand | crizzy, where do you change font size? | 17:06 |

lucas-arg | its neither of those | 22:15 |
cheako | Rule of thumb with linux drivers, find out what microchip you have brand and product names are useless... Un like in windows where two devices can have the same chip but the drivers will claim "That's not me." | 22:17 |

CheckIn | Hello | 22:42 |
cheako | hi. | 22:43 |
CheckIn | I've installed Ubuntu Server on a machine and it's inaccessible because of the Firewall rules. Does Ubuntu server come with a restrictive set of IPchains by default? | 22:43 |
topyli | afaik everything is open by default | 22:44 |
CheckIn | hmm | 22:44 |
CheckIn | where did these rules come from then? | 22:44 |
topyli | also, ipchains died when linux 2.4 came out :) | 22:44 |
CheckIn | topyli: Yes the IPtables are made up of ipchains :) | 22:45 |
topyli | probalby not the firewall anyway | 22:45 |
CheckIn | The sets of ipchains are what make up the iptables | 22:45 |
topyli | i thought iptables just sets rules for netfilter | 22:45 |
CheckIn | topyli: iptables -F fixes the inaccessibility | 22:45 |
topyli | oh so in 2.4 we just added a layer of abstraction? | 22:46 |
CheckIn | Right. Or management if you want to look at it like that | 22:46 |
topyli | maybe ubuntu server does have some firewall rules then. i have no idea why it would, though | 22:46 |
cheako | is TYPE=squashfs valid in /etc/fstab? What about conflicts? | 22:46 |
CheckIn | maybe the server part? :) | 22:46 |
CheckIn | I'll checkin with #ubuntu-server to see | 22:47 |
topyli | CheckIn: that's no reason | 22:47 |
CheckIn | topyli: I'd think it is ;-/ | 22:47 |
topyli | why would there be firewall rules when nothing is even listening to any port? | 22:48 |
topyli | and if you add something that listens to a port, you probably want that port open :) | 22:48 |
cheako | CheckIn/topyli almost nothing should be listening on external interfaces by default. | 22:50 |
