| haz3lnut | Maybe this is a question for a diff channel, but I'll try it out. If I install 12.04 in a virtualbox, then use remastersys to create a bootable iso, can I take that iso and install it on main physical machine after the bugs are worked out? | 00:00 |

| trippeh | Can the hud be disabled somehow? I've killed global menu/appmenu so its not doing anything useful. | 01:12 |
| trippeh | (global menu works so badly on 3840x1200) | 01:13 |
| Daekdroom | trippeh, you could try changing it shortcut to nothing. | 01:13 |
| trippeh | Hmmm! | 01:13 |
| Daekdroom | It's not available in gnome-control-panel, I think. So you have to install ccsm or edit it through gconf. | 01:14 |
| trippeh | Yeah, figured | 01:15 |

| etfb | Interesting little bug with 12.04 and Emacs - when the window opens, it rolls up like a window shade. Works fine maximised, so it's no biggie. | 03:20 |

| jbroman | Hello all; is there any reason why gnome-panel transitively depends on multiple large packages, including pulseaudio, accountsservice and network-manager*? The GNOME session appears to exist fine without these, but the panel seems necessary for a sane desktop environment (I could be wrong on this; GNOME is not my desktop environment). | 03:56 |
| atpa8a | but then the alieases won't come up | 03:56 |
| jbroman | It seems like it should be possible to have a GNOME session available without requiring that the system include a specific audio subsystem, network configuration system, and account service. | 03:56 |
| jbroman | (The last of which is most troubling, as it appears to interfere with LightDM's dmrc caching functionality when user homedirs are unavailable.) | 03:57 |
| micahg | jbroman: try with --no-install-recommends | 04:04 |
| jbroman | micahg: Hmm. Looks good via SSH; will have to wait until tomorrow until I have physical access to verify that the shell works. | 04:05 |
| jbroman | I'd forgotten that recommended packages were pulled along by default (but not suggested). | 04:05 |
| jbroman | I thought I'd changed that it my apt conf, but this is a new machine, so I guess not. | 04:06 |
| imnichol | So does anyone know how to remove a library from rhythmbox? | 04:06 |
| imnichol | I tried using gconf-editor, but there's no rhythmbox entry | 04:06 |
| jbroman | Is there a good way to mark a package as "don't install this unless I explicitly ask you to", akin to holding an installed package at a particular version? | 04:06 |

| kylen | what U think about new ubuntu is faster then previous version ? | 11:33 |
| kylen | on 11.10 on Sony Vaio E350 Unity sloooooooowly | 11:34 |
| kylen | i know te 12.04 is devel at this momment and debug options is on | 11:34 |
| kylen | but unity maybe a little faster then 11.10 | 11:35 |
| kylen | :( | 11:35 |
| Daekdroom | Unity got faster in 12.04, indeed. | 11:36 |
| ironhalik | kylen: check your video drivers | 11:36 |
| ironhalik | unity is ok on my old GMA950, which is like fifty times slower then enything E350 has | 11:37 |
| notify | unity is a bit divisive, despite the name | 11:38 |
| kylen | ironhalik: thx, i have newest ati driver. At this time i use lubuntu on this netbook and all is oki | 11:40 |
| kylen | glxgears shows 2600 frames | 11:41 |
| kylen | this is good resaults | 11:41 |
| kylen | :) | 11:41 |
| Daekdroom | glxgears is not a benchmark. | 11:41 |
| kylen | i know, but this app good show power of GPU | 11:43 |
| Daekdroom | No, it doesn't. | 11:43 |
| kylen | Daekdroom: what do U suggest ? | 11:43 |
| kylen | Daekdroom: why ? | 11:43 |
| ironhalik | kylen: LXDE is much less gpu intensive then Unity, and also, there may be problems that wont show in glxgears | 11:44 |
| Daekdroom | I remember there's a whole page in X wiki telling why. | 11:44 |
| ironhalik | like for me, binary nvidia drivers make scrolling PITA, causes Xorg to jump to 100% cpu usage | 11:44 |
| ironhalik | while glxgears shows decent numbers | 11:44 |
| Daekdroom | Oooh. It wasn't X wiki | 11:44 |
| notify | glxgears _is_ a benchmark, but not a wholly reliable one | 11:44 |
| Daekdroom | Nope. It's not a benchmark at all. | 11:45 |
| Daekdroom | All it tells you is whether you have vsync on and it might - suggest - you don't have 3D Accel. | 11:45 |
| Daekdroom | http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Glxgears_is_not_a_Benchmark | 11:45 |
| ironhalik | its boolean benchmark - shows that opengl either works or not ;> | 11:45 |
| Daekdroom | 'So to summarize, glxgears only tests a small part of what you typically see in a 3D game. You could have glxgears FPS performance increase, but your 3D game performance decrease. Likewise, you could have glxgears performance decrease and your 3D game performance increase. ' | 11:45 |
| notify | yeah yeah | 11:46 |
| notify | However, it is a very limited 'test'. | 11:46 |
| notify | the title of a blog is not a substitute for reality btw | 11:46 |
| notify | opinion masquerading as absolute reality | 11:47 |
| Daekdroom | But it isn't a benchmark. | 11:47 |
| Daekdroom | It's not about the title of something. | 11:47 |
| brendand | of course it's a benchmark | 11:47 |
| Daekdroom | Anyone can clearly see it does almost nothing a game does. | 11:48 |
| Daekdroom | It doesn't even have textures. | 11:48 |
| ironhalik | it has polygons, though :> | 11:48 |
| kylen | partly shows the power of the gpu card | 11:48 |
| brendand | just because it's not a good one for the purpose some people use it for doesn't make it not a benchmark | 11:48 |
| Daekdroom | How many, compared to OpenArena? | 11:48 |
| ironhalik | Daekdroom: hard to say, you could squeeze a lot into those cogs | 11:48 |
| Daekdroom | It shows you whether you can run OpenGL without crashing X. | 11:48 |
| Daekdroom | ironhalik, they don't. | 11:48 |
| kylen | Daekdroom: u have right, this is not fully benchmark, but partly show about strengh of gpu | 11:48 |
| kylen | :) | 11:49 |
| Daekdroom | It doesn't show strength of GPU | 11:49 |
| Daekdroom | It is limited by a lot of other bottlenecks. | 11:49 |
| Daekdroom | Including CPU | 11:49 |
| notify | brendand: you are right, of course. now glxgears isn't a very good benchmark, but that is beside the point | 11:49 |
| Daekdroom | Even the compositing manager you are using can change the results there. | 11:49 |
| notify | "glxgears is not a very good benchmark". done :) | 11:50 |
| brendand | it tells you perfectly well how good different systems are at running glxgears :) | 11:50 |
| ironhalik | guys, stop freting about it ;> | 11:51 |
| kylen | i know when my gpu card show 300frame, then compiz doesn`t work smoothly, but when i see 1200frame i know the compiz work good :) glxgears is a very littttle benchmark heh | 11:51 |
| brendand | it wouldn't be a benchmark if it didn't tell you, for example, how many fps were achieved | 11:51 |
| ironhalik | it uses gpu and has a number output, it is _some_ kind of benchmark :P | 11:51 |
| notify | it also tells you whether vsync is on or not | 11:51 |
| ironhalik | but who cares ;> | 11:51 |
| brendand | if it was just spinning cogs and no data then it would not be a benchmark | 11:51 |
| brendand | and now i'm done! | 11:51 |
| ironhalik | so, lets compare resaults! :D | 11:52 |
| kylen | hehe:) | 11:52 |
| kylen | oki :D | 11:52 |
| notify | so are we all agreed, unity and glxgears _must_ go | 11:52 |
| ironhalik | Ive got ~2100 on GF8600 and nouveau drivers, ~5000 on nvidias drivers | 11:52 |
| ironhalik | ;> | 11:52 |
| kylen | Sony Vaio E350 ATI 6300 (APU) - on 2399 with out compiz ( on LXDE lubuntu) | 11:53 |
| notify | about 2800 here. crappy 64-bit gpu memory bus | 11:53 |
| notify | nvidia 210 | 11:54 |
| brendand | i get 300, but vsync is on? | 11:55 |
| kylen | we see the benchmark show difference between nouveau drv / nvidias | 11:55 |
| kylen | this test show the glxgears is a little benchmark :D | 11:55 |
| kylen | hehe | 11:55 |
| kylen | when vsync is on glxgears show 60frame max | 11:55 |
| kylen | what benchmark U suggest ? | 11:58 |
| kylen | to compare speed unity between unity 2D | 11:59 |
| kylen | ehh | 11:59 |
| kylen | maybe 12.04 run oki on APU vaio | 11:59 |
| kylen | will see what be ... | 11:59 |
| notify | kylen: yeah or whatever your monitor max sync rate is. mine is 150 but i run it at 85, to save the tube. yes that's right crt monitor | 11:59 |
| ironhalik | sure, check it out | 11:59 |
| ironhalik | and also, try opensource drivers | 11:59 |
| brendand | ah, see with vblank_mode=0 i get closer to 1900 fps | 12:00 |
| notify | anything over 1000 and you can relax | 12:01 |
| kylen | kylen@VAIBUNTU:~$ glxgears | 12:01 |
| kylen | 11295 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2258.922 FPS | 12:01 |
| kylen | 11972 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2394.256 FPS | 12:01 |
| kylen | 11573 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2314.490 FPS | 12:01 |

| mischasworld | hello | 12:24 |
| mischasworld | I recently updated to precise kubuntu beta, suspend to ram via settings in kde settings is not working, if i call pm-suspend via sudo its working any iedas to fix this? | 12:24 |
| mischasworld | almaxorife: is sudo pm-suspend working for you? | 12:27 |
| almoxarife | mischasworld: normal suspend works, hibernate does not | 12:28 |
| almoxarife | mischasworld: have you looked at the logs? | 12:28 |
| htorque | do you guys know if this really is the new gtk color chooser? http://img.xrmb2.net/images/709325.png | 12:29 |
| mischasworld | almoxarife: is your swap partition big enough ? also i found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-desktop-privileges/+bug/812394 | 12:29 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 812394 in Ayatana Design "Disable hibernate option by default" [High,Fix released] | 12:30 |
| almoxarife | mischasworld: 4gig swap, 4gig mem | 12:31 |
| mischasworld | almoxarife: I looked in the logs, didn't find errors, my problem seems to be pm-suspend not being called from kde | 12:31 |
| mischasworld | almoxarife: do you have this file on your pc /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla | 12:32 |
| almoxarife | mischasworld: no, file not there | 12:33 |
| mischasworld | almoxarife: if not try to create it (with root privilegs) and insert this content | 12:33 |
| mischasworld | [Re-enable hibernate by default] | 12:34 |

| mischasworld | Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate | 12:34 |
| mischasworld | ResultActive=yes | 12:34 |
| mischasworld | anyone got an idea, for solving my problem? | 12:35 |
| mischasworld | almoxarife: did it work? | 12:39 |
| almoxarife | mischasworld: didn't try it yet, why can't the same be used for 'suspend'? | 12:40 |
| mischasworld | almoxarife: cause suspend isnt deactivated by (k)ubuntu by default, my suspend is working but only if i call it manualy via pm-suspend oder via the power button. It isn't called by the activated time in kdes systemsettings | 12:43 |
| kylen | to use suspend must have big swap ? | 12:55 |
| Ian_Corne | no | 13:09 |
| Ian_Corne | suspend is to memory | 13:09 |
| Ian_Corne | hibernate puts all memory in swap | 13:09 |
| tomodachi | Ian_Corne: all memory as in ram + gfx ram? | 13:12 |
| mischasworld | suspend to disk is hibernate, suspend2ram is suspend | 13:13 |
| ironhalik | hmm, @hibernation and big swaps | 13:54 |
| ironhalik | devs could do something to make hibernation work without swap >= ram | 13:54 |
| ironhalik | sth like hibersys file | 13:54 |
| patdk-wk | heh | 13:55 |
| patdk-wk | compressed ram -> disk | 13:55 |
| patdk-wk | would make hibernation faster | 13:55 |
| patdk-wk | and even restores | 13:55 |
| * yofel_ agrees with patdk-wk | 14:03 | |
| yofel_ | uswsusp does compress on hibernate though I think | 14:03 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| patdk-wk | ya I think it does | 14:03 |
| yofel | but last time I used a swap file for hibernation it was a bit tricky to set up | 14:03 |
| patdk-wk | I haven't had working hibernation or sleep for years | 14:04 |
| patdk-wk | so I just don't bother | 14:04 |
| yofel | I got it to work for a while a few months ago, but then it just broke for no reason and I couldn't find out what's wrong | 14:04 |
| patdk-wk | technically what I wanted working hibernation for, is vmware :) | 14:05 |
| yofel | and since I put a SSD into this notebook I don't use hibernate at all anyway | 14:05 |
| patdk-wk | it takes so long to put my vm's to suspend on my laptop, even with my ssd | 14:05 |
| patdk-wk | compression on that would be nice :) | 14:05 |
| ironhalik | dunno if uswusp compresses, but it fails if swap is smaller then the ram size | 14:09 |
| ironhalik | ram is cheap, ssd space is premium and swap on secondary HDD is slow :> | 14:09 |
| yofel | well, I guess you could create a swap file on hibernation, but I believe even windows creates a file as large as your memory as you can't accurately calculate how much space you'll need | 14:12 |
| ironhalik | yeah, the hibersys file | 14:12 |
| ironhalik | but AFAIK, its more optimal, dumps only the used ram | 14:12 |
| yofel | uhm, from what I've seen, uswsusp only writes what's used either | 14:13 |
| ironhalik | and with, lets say 8 gig of ram, you wont go to sleep in the middle of some heavy encoding job :) | 14:13 |
| yofel | at least hibernating with 1GiB was faster than with 8GiB used | 14:13 |
| ironhalik | yeah, but currently it seems to check the worst case confition - if swap is smaller then the ammout of ram, it wont work | 14:14 |
| c3sso | hello | 14:14 |
| yofel | well, I don't know what checks upower does to figure that out TBH | 14:14 |
| yofel | for me it says: 'can-hibernate: no', but KDE's powermanagement says I can | 14:15 |
| c3sso | can somebody tell me why my changes to /etc/sudoers in precise work only for 1 reboot? | 14:15 |
| yofel | and for all practical purposes I have enough swap to hibernate | 14:15 |
| c3sso | I mean I reboot the machine and then It asks for password again for things I do not want it to | 14:15 |
| ironhalik | yofel: for me, it may be a bug as well | 14:16 |
| yofel | true | 14:16 |
| c3sso | but sudoers file is correct and I can see the entries I made there are there | 14:16 |
| tomodachi | ironhalik: when writing ram to swap, does one have to have enough space for gfx ram? | 14:16 |
| c3sso | tux ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/ubiquity | 14:16 |
| yofel | tomodachi: I don't think that's saved at all | 14:16 |
| ironhalik | tomodachi: no idea | 14:17 |
| tomodachi | ok i guess it can be regenerated from ram | 14:17 |
| tomodachi | but wasnt sure | 14:17 |
| ironhalik | yofel is prolly right, though | 14:17 |

| rye | sorry, wrong channel | 14:18 |
| doda1 | i have an integrated nvidia gpu and both 12.04 daily build from like a week ago and 11.10 don't work fine from the livecd because of faulty drivers | 14:18 |
| c3sso | anybody? I am using precise and this seems to be a serious issue | 14:18 |
| doda1 | where can i report that ? | 14:18 |
| yofel | c3sso: that looks right... | 14:19 |
| yofel | c3sso: where in sudoers do you set that? below or above the %admin/%sudo settings? | 14:20 |
| yofel | last time I edited sudoers the group permissions overwrote the user settings | 14:20 |
| c3sso | # Members of the admin group may gain root privileges | 14:20 |
| c3sso | %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL | 14:20 |
| c3sso | same where I defined them in maverick | 14:21 |
| yofel | hm, no idea then | 14:21 |
| c3sso | has that changed? I do not think so... | 14:21 |
| c3sso | hm | 14:22 |
| c3sso | I am not really shure whats going on either.... | 14:22 |
| c3sso | I have precise in a virtual machine.. | 14:22 |
| c3sso | when I reboot it, and then open a terminal, enter sudo reboot (which is also defined in /etc/sudoers to not ask for password | 14:24 |
| c3sso | it asks it. | 14:24 |
| c3sso | when I then open the file in gedit (I know, one should not do that...but just open, not edit anything...) and close it, then issue again the sudo reboot | 14:25 |
| c3sso | then is reboots without asking.... | 14:25 |
| c3sso | strange | 14:26 |
| c3sso | where to ask for that????? | 14:28 |
| Pici | What is the question exactly? | 14:32 |
| Pici | c3sso: ^ | 14:32 |
| c3sso | uhm | 14:32 |
| c3sso | I have defined /sbin/reboot to not ask for password in /etc/sudoers | 14:33 |
| rye | c3sso: it caches the authorization for some time | 14:33 |
| c3sso | but when I freshly reboot? | 14:33 |
| Pici | c3sso: Is the entry changed in /etc/sudoers ? | 14:34 |
| rye | c3sso: so sudo cmd1; sudo cmd2 will ask for the first time only | 14:34 |
| Pici | er s/Is/Has/ | 14:34 |
| c3sso | ? | 14:34 |
| c3sso | first time? | 14:35 |
| c3sso | I have exactly the same made in maverick | 14:35 |
| c3sso | and it would always reboot, without asking me | 14:35 |
| Pici | c3sso: Okay. So you edit /etc/sudoers. It works for a little bit. You reboot, it doesn't work anymore. Has the entry that you made in /etc/sudoers changed or disappeared? | 14:36 |
| c3sso | no | 14:36 |
| c3sso | and thats what I do not understand | 14:37 |
| Pici | c3sso: Can you pastebin your sudoers file? | 14:37 |
| c3sso | ok | 14:37 |
| c3sso | paste.ubuntu.com/893684 | 14:38 |
| c3sso | have the same entries on maverick, and there it just works as it should... | 14:40 |
| Pici | c3sso: And the user in question is in the tux group? | 14:40 |
| yofel | the use is tux | 14:42 |
| yofel | or it would be %tux | 14:42 |
| yofel | *user is | 14:42 |
| c3sso | true | 14:42 |
| c3sso | anyways, If there would be some dbus commands to shutdown the machine, I would be glad, too | 14:43 |
| Pici | er, right, user. | 14:43 |
| c3sso | hmm | 14:45 |
| c3sso | I try to remove the entrys but just leave reboot... maybe that helps... | 14:45 |
| c3sso | nope... | 14:49 |
| c3sso | can somebody try that out? | 14:49 |
| c3sso | what would be the dbus shutdown /reboot/ hibernate commands for precise? I am trying to shutdown precise from openbox running.... | 14:52 |
| Ian_Corne | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3696644/linux-shutdown-with-dbus-send | 14:54 |
| c3sso | are you shure that this works with precise? | 14:55 |
| yofel | I doubt that as it has "Hal" in it | 14:55 |
| c3sso | true.. | 14:57 |
| Ian_Corne | :) | 14:57 |
| c3sso | I thought there would be a standarized dbus call to org.Freedesktop to do that | 15:00 |
| yofel | me too, but for PowerManagement all I can find is Hibernate() and Suspend() | 15:01 |

| zerwas | When using the Dash to start applications, every applications is started twice. This only happens for a specific user. What could be the reason for this bug? | 16:01 |
| zerwas | and this *only* happens when i type the name of the application and press enter. If i click on the application icon the dash, it works fine | 16:02 |

| pg345 | I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 with preseeding, here's my config based from the example. As it is, the installation works but the keyboard is not setup correctly. Also, when i replace « ubuntu-desktop » with « lamp-server » the installation just hangs after installing a lot of stuff. | 16:23 |
| bluefrog | is, creating manually a .desktop file, the only way to create a shortcut on the desktop for example? | 16:31 |
| Captain_Proton | if it does not have one on install | 16:31 |
| bluefrog | to create a brand new shortcut | 16:32 |
| bluefrog | I don't a "create shortcut" menu anymore anywhere | 16:32 |
| bluefrog | don't see | 16:32 |
| Captain_Proton | If you are not aware you can create them .local/share/applications | 16:33 |
| bluefrog | well that's the point of my question. only way then | 16:33 |
| Captain_Proton | you may be able to main menu to create them. I create them manually | 16:35 |
| bluefrog | main menu? where? | 16:35 |
| Captain_Proton | search main menu it will not remove icons like in the old days but it should create one for you | 16:35 |
| Captain_Proton | windows key > main menu | 16:35 |
| bluefrog | there's no "create schorcut" menu in there | 16:37 |
| Captain_Proton | you may have to install it sudo apt-get install alacarte | 16:38 |
| bluefrog | ok will do without create shortcut. alacarte is universe | 16:39 |

| nischayn22 | hi I am having problems setting phpunit in ubuntu 12.04 | 19:16 |
| ironhalik | roasted: gconf is working for me | 19:16 |
| roasted | ironhalik: in 12.04? I type it, I can see it come up in unity, but if I click it nothing happens... it's like it's a dead link | 19:17 |
| topyli | gconf still works for apps who haven't migrated to gsettings and dconf. the transition is ongoing | 19:17 |
| roasted | topyli: all I'm aiming to do is enable advanced nautilus permissions. Why nautilus doesn't do it by default like kde/dolphin do is beyond me, but that's all I'm looking to do on this box... is gconf still the way for that task? | 19:19 |
| topyli | roasted: i think nautilus is dconf-editor land now | 19:20 |
| roasted | topyli: I see. I assume needs installed? | 19:20 |
| topyli | yes | 19:20 |
| roasted | unable to locate package | 19:20 |
| roasted | hm | 19:20 |
| roasted | sudo apt-get install dconf-editor ?? | 19:20 |
| topyli | and as to why nautilus doesn't have a ton of buttons and sliders, it's not how we do things in gnome land :) | 19:21 |
| topyli | roasted: yes | 19:21 |
| roasted | topyli: makes zero sense, but we'll agree to disagree on that one. :) | 19:21 |
| roasted | dconf-editor isn't available to install. oh well. | 19:22 |
| topyli | roasted: it's yes i'm wondering about that too right now | 19:22 |
| topyli | somehow, i have it installed | 19:22 |
| roasted | how old is your build? | 19:23 |
| topyli | since alpha 2 or so | 19:23 |
| ironhalik | the package is dconf-tools | 19:23 |
| topyli | oh yes | 19:23 |
| ironhalik | also, try launching gconf-editor from terminal | 19:23 |
| ironhalik | and see what happens | 19:23 |
| roasted | ironhalik: nothing happened if I recall, one sec | 19:24 |
| ironhalik | anyone noticed 'Failed to load terminal capabilities from '/etc/termcap' | 19:24 |

| ironhalik | well then, install it :) apt-get install gconf-editor | 19:24 |

| ironhalik | Package: gconf-editor | 19:25 |
| ironhalik | Priority: optional | 19:25 |
| roasted | got dconf installed... not seeing nautilus anywhere though... | 19:25 |
| ironhalik | Section: universe/utils | 19:25 |
| topyli | nautilus should be somewher in org/gnome/... | 19:25 |
| topyli | yes, there it is | 19:26 |
| ironhalik | in gconf, its in /apps/nautilus :P | 19:26 |
| topyli | gconf is not relevant | 19:26 |
| roasted | oh helloo there advanced permissions | 19:26 |
| roasted | SO nice to see you again | 19:26 |
| ironhalik | hmm, I need gconf to change setting for terminal | 19:27 |
| ironhalik | also, dconf could use a search feature | 19:27 |
| roasted | now, I'm a little confused. was gconf included by default before in the install? I don't recall ever having to install it like I had to do with dconf just now | 19:27 |
| topyli | sure gconf is still around, but not for those gnome apps who have already made the transition | 19:28 |
| topyli | roasted: gconf was always around, otherwise gnome would not work. the same thing with dconf now. but the editors are a different matter | 19:28 |
| roasted | topyli: but I don't recall needing to install gconf-editor to show advanced perms before. Maybe I did and I forget, but it crossed my mind | 19:29 |
| topyli | you did install it, gconf-editor was never installed by default on any distribution i know of | 19:30 |
| topyli | maybe gentoo or something :) | 19:30 |
| roasted | okay, just curious :) | 19:30 |
| roasted | one last curios question... what does sticky do in advanced perms? I see it changes the output to rwxrwxrwt | 19:31 |
| ironhalik | Hmm, I just lost eth0 on my desktop, after the latest update | 19:31 |
| ironhalik | hmm, 'the microsoft patch' fixed it :> | 19:32 |

| treebear | hello | 20:04 |
| treebear | is linux kernel 3.3 going to be shipped with ubuntu 12.04 lts? | 20:05 |
| itaylor57 | i don't believe so | 20:05 |
| treebear | or is canonical going to stick with linux kernel 3.2.x ? | 20:05 |
| Dulak | 3.2 is where they froze, so no | 20:06 |
| treebear | kernel freeze is due to 5th april | 20:06 |
| treebear | if i'm not mistaken | 20:06 |
| kklimonda | it's only for changes to the config and backporting patches | 20:06 |
| Dulak | Hmmm, I thought everything was frozen already... | 20:06 |
| kklimonda | kernel has been choosen months ago | 20:06 |
| itaylor57 | treebear, look at the link http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/precise/beta1 it discusses the kernel info for the release | 20:07 |
| kklimonda | treebear: you'll get newer kernel when 12.10 is released. they'll backport it for 12.04 after that | 20:07 |
| treebear | will i be able to install kernel 3.3 and remove 3.2.x version of the kernel? | 20:07 |
| kklimonda | treebear: why do you need 3.3? | 20:07 |
| treebear | what do you mean by "backporting" it? | 20:07 |
| kklimonda | prepare an official package for 12.04 (supported until 12.10 is EOL) | 20:08 |
| treebear | will i be able to install kernel 3.3 and remove the 3.2.x version of the kernel on 12.04 LTS? | 20:09 |
| johnjohn101 | i'm guessing compiling your own kernel for your ubuntu version isn't a good idea. | 20:09 |
| Dulak | security and bug fix patches get ported to older kernels when possible, it's called backporting. | 20:09 |
| treebear | not compiling, but installing from apt sources | 20:09 |
| treebear | that won't be possible in ubuntu 12.04 for the kernel, right? | 20:10 |
| itaylor57 | treebear, no it won't | 20:10 |
| treebear | i see | 20:11 |
| kklimonda | treebear: you'll be able to install it after 12.10 is released, but why do you need it? | 20:11 |
| treebear | well, the main reason i would like to move to kernel 3.3 is the new features | 20:11 |
| treebear | and bugs being fixed | 20:11 |
| kklimonda | bugs are being fixed in 3.2 too | 20:12 |
| johnjohn101 | treebear, i found this on the net. http://www.howopensource.com/2011/08/how-to-compile-and-install-linux-kernel-3-0-in-ubuntu-11-04-10-10-and-10-04/ but I would use at own risk. | 20:13 |
| kklimonda | mainline kernels have their own ppa | 20:14 |
| kklimonda | so you can just use it | 20:14 |
| micahg | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 20:14 |
| Dulak | He said without compiling though, so I'd assume he means use a package from a later ubuntu | 20:14 |
| kklimonda | but it's not worth it most of the time unless you are hitting some actual bug or need better hardware support | 20:15 |
| johnjohn101 | i agree, i've never had to swap out a kernel. but then again i don't use cutting edge hardware either | 20:15 |
| treebear | that's exactly what i need | 20:16 |
| treebear | thanks johnjohn101 | 20:16 |
| johnjohn101 | treebear: i found this as well http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1915324.html | 20:17 |
| treebear | if i'm not mistaken, this kernel 3.3 is not an RC anymore but a final version | 20:24 |
| treebear | am i right or am i right? | 20:24 |
| treebear | :) | 20:24 |
| itaylor57 | treebear, if you are dead set on using the latest bleeding edge kernel, you might consider another distro than ubuntu | 20:25 |
| kklimonda | treebear: yes, it's been released few days ago | 20:27 |
| johnjohn101 | treebear: you can check here. http://www.kernel.org/ | 20:28 |

| c3sso | or use liquoriz kernel | 20:38 |
| c3sso | what actually are these messages when starting up with plymouth disabled: these Starting... Stopping... messages. they seem to be annother system startup mechnism? | 20:40 |
| treebear | yeah i get annoyed by this plymouth messages, too | 20:41 |
| treebear | how can they be turned off? | 20:41 |
| c3sso | is theis plymouth who produces that messazges? starting and right after that stopping the same thing?I mean I can alter the color of the [ ok ] messages of classic startup items in /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh | 20:43 |
| c3sso | but not for these items | 20:43 |
| treebear | whenever i suspend my system, i see two plymouth messages | 20:43 |
| treebear | what is plymouth anyway? | 20:43 |
| treebear | i see the plymouth mountall command failed | 20:45 |
| treebear | why is this plymouth so annying? | 20:45 |
| c3sso | I doubt plymouth is the problem, it draws the nice ubuntu graphics at startup, I disabled it. I see onle the text messsages then. Also, they seem to randomly show up... | 20:45 |
| yofel | plymouth is what shows you the boot and shutdown splash, and handles and communication between system services and you during that time | 20:46 |
| yofel | *and handles the communication | 20:46 |
| treebear | i see | 20:47 |
| yofel | c3sso: the [ ok ] comes from sys-v-init if I remember correctly, and from the compatibility mode that's used these days, but we use upstart now for service management | 20:48 |
| treebear | why do i _always_ get the plymouth mountall failed message at startup? | 20:48 |
| mongo | yofel: one bit of documentation i've been looking for is how upstart chooses it's order, openvswitch is very broken, it is started way too late and I'd like to just fix that but I can't find good docs on how to set startup order | 20:49 |
| yofel | hm, you shouldn't - mountall is what handles mounting drives from fstab on boot | 20:49 |
| mongo | treebear: you have NFS volumes in /etc/fstab? | 20:49 |
| mongo | treebear: upstart is doing a mountall before the network is up | 20:49 |
| yofel | mongo: there is no startup "order". you tell a service which services need to be up before it can start | 20:50 |
| treebear | so why can't plymouth mount all things in fstab? | 20:50 |
| yofel | and disks need to be mounted before network IIRC | 20:50 |
| treebear | at boottime | 20:50 |
| yofel | uhm, check the logs for drive failures? "mountall failed" is too generic of an error | 20:50 |
| mongo | yofel: see, taht is not always true, which is one of the things they need to flesh out on upstart | 20:51 |
| treebear | where can i find this specific log? | 20:51 |
| yofel | mongo: well, true, currently mountall handels both local and remove filesystems, which doesn't quite work | 20:52 |
| mongo | yofel: root in ro is enough to bring up the network and you could have a network mounted disk that is needed for full boot | 20:52 |
| yofel | s/remove/remote/ | 20:52 |
| mongo | the real problem is that network manager is years behind on debian too | 20:52 |
| mongo | I think that is the problem, network manager interfaces come up in the correct order but /etc/network/interfaces doesn't | 20:53 |
| treebear | and so plymouth can't mount all network interfaces at that particular time at the boottime? | 20:54 |
| mongo | oh ya mountall is pretty simple too | 20:54 |
| yofel | well, can't say anything there as the only system where I don't use network-manager doesn't have any NFS mounts | 20:55 |
| treebear | what's nfs again? | 20:55 |
| mongo | treebear: really it looks like it just calls mount -a multiple times | 20:55 |
| yofel | network file system | 20:55 |
| mongo | which means you can ignore that error | 20:55 |
| treebear | oh got it | 20:55 |
| mongo | if it is from NFS/SMB shares | 20:55 |
| yofel | if mountall would *really* fail, it wouldn't even continue to boot | 20:55 |
| treebear | so how many times is the command mountall fired then? | 20:56 |
| treebear | once? | 20:56 |
| yofel | no idea | 20:56 |
| treebear | and then it persistently mounts things as it boots the OS? | 20:56 |
| treebear | ubuntu in our case | 20:57 |
| yofel | mountall is run once, but I don't know what exactly it does then | 20:57 |
| kklimonda | I think it's launched once and then, when network interfaces are up, it get send signal | 20:57 |
| mongo | well there is a mountall and a mountall-net | 20:57 |
| treebear | i guess i see the error because the network interface is not *immediately* mounted when plymouth mountall command is fired | 20:58 |
| kklimonda | I'd actually use autofs to mount nfs share only when they are accessed | 20:58 |
| mongo | with iscsi/nfs etc....it would be hard to catch all network mounts | 20:58 |
| yofel | hm, mountall-net does seem to send mountall a retry for network drives | 20:59 |
| kklimonda | yes, but mountall quits after we reach rcS | 20:59 |
| mongo | kklimonda: autohome can cause other issues | 20:59 |
| yofel | this is a mess | 20:59 |
| kklimonda | so if you don't get network up soon enough you won't get network shares mounted | 20:59 |
| treebear | rcs? | 20:59 |
| mongo | is there any way to get logging to work to catch what is preventing shutdown | 20:59 |
| mongo | I have that on several systems | 21:00 |
| treebear | what is rcs? | 21:00 |
| mongo | it unmounts and hangs, if I do ctrl-alt-delete it say it is writing the clock but it requires a hard power off | 21:00 |
| treebear | i'm not so familiar with these acronyms | 21:00 |
| mongo | treebear: i'm guessing single mode run level | 21:00 |
| yofel | as mongo said | 21:00 |
| kklimonda | yeah, but something definitely kills mountall at some point | 21:01 |
| yofel | run levels are from sys-v-init days though | 21:01 |
| treebear | yeah... but what? | 21:02 |
| kklimonda | well, it's theory - in practice we won't really get rid of sysvinit scripts for quite a while | 21:02 |
| mongo | didn't fedora must announce they are moving to some brand new init thing? | 21:02 |
| yofel | which would be systemd | 21:02 |
| yofel | haven't looked much into it yet | 21:02 |
| mongo | oh cool it actually looks intresting if it works as they claim | 21:03 |
| mongo | http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/why.html | 21:03 |
| kklimonda | heh, this table is very inacurate | 21:04 |
| c3sso | uhm and the Starting / Stopping messages I get, whats that? | 21:04 |
| mongo | the LSBInit support would fix most of the updstart migration issues | 21:04 |
| kklimonda | there is a lot of fud between debian, ubuntu, upstart and systemd developers | 21:04 |
| mongo | kklimonda: ya, and us users take the brunt | 21:05 |
| kklimonda | but I'd still love ubuntu to use it so we could limit differences | 21:05 |
| treebear | isn't grub the one that spits out those plymouth mountall failed messages? | 21:05 |
| mongo | I would like a real way to say "I want openvswitch to start before failsafeboot | 21:05 |
| yofel | yeah, I'll be happy to get rid of sys-v-init, but then please with something everybody uses | 21:06 |
| mongo | right now I have to go edit the silly "sleep" entries in failsafe to reduce my boot time by 120 seconds | 21:06 |
| yofel | treebear: grub only takes care to load the kernel, mount the initramfs and then launches init, and init is upstart for us | 21:06 |
| mongo | if upstart had honered LSB headers it would be a lot less of a problem too | 21:06 |
| mongo | soon for PC users grub will be gone too | 21:07 |
| mongo | well on single boot machines | 21:07 |
| yofel | well, iirc ubuntu doesn't particulary care about lsb | 21:07 |
| yofel | mongo: to be replaced by what? | 21:07 |
| yofel | uEFI? | 21:07 |
| mongo | yofel: yes, but ubuntu uses a ton of upstream debian packages | 21:07 |
| mongo | yofel: yes direct EFI boot | 21:08 |
| yofel | k | 21:08 |
| kklimonda | yofel: this is pretty much impossible | 21:08 |
| kklimonda | yofel: for example debian is pretty much set on supporting "toy projects" like kfreebsd or hurd | 21:08 |
| kklimonda | and neither upstart nor systemd work on them | 21:09 |
| yofel | well, good point | 21:09 |
| mongo | and ubuntu is about pretty :) where sysv init doesn't work | 21:09 |
| yofel | sys-v-init has no problem with pretty, it has a problem with speed | 21:09 |
| mongo | yofel: yes but with failsafe ubuntu has no claim to boot speed | 21:10 |
| yofel | uh, failsafe isn't meant to be fast, really, it's supposed to work, that's all | 21:11 |
| mongo | go look at those sleep statements in /etc/init/failsafe.conf | 21:11 |
| kklimonda | mongo: well, there are quite a lot server developers for ubuntu | 21:11 |
| mongo | kklimonda: yes but those patches never make it into the release, I have dozens of KVM boxes running ubuntu | 21:12 |
| mongo | I have to deal with the nm not supporting bridges mess | 21:12 |
| kklimonda | mongo: well, nothing does it by itself | 21:12 |
| kklimonda | server folks are not really interested in the desktop | 21:12 |
| mongo | kklimonda: ya I am looking at fixing nm with ovpenvswitch | 21:13 |
| mongo | my main problem with upstart is there is no easy way to fix order problems | 21:13 |
| yofel | you can edit the start requirements for the services | 21:14 |
| kklimonda | mongo: well, you just have to stop thinking about it as "order" ;) | 21:14 |
| yofel | other than that you can only rewrite the scripts | 21:14 |
| mongo | kklimonda: when I get shoved into failsafe because of order it matters :) | 21:15 |
| mongo | yofel: how to I say start this script before thisone? | 21:15 |
| kklimonda | mongo: it's not about order though, but dependencies | 21:15 |
| yofel | mongo: by telling the other not to start before this is finished | 21:15 |
| mongo | kklimonda: same thing in this case, you are stuck in syntax | 21:16 |
| mongo | kklimonda: openvswitch-switch and openvswitch-controller should start before failsafe | 21:16 |
| mongo | unfortunatly they are in apt but maintained upstream so they are LSB | 21:17 |
| yofel | then tell failsafe to start on started penvmswitch-switch... | 21:17 |
| yofel | ok, that's pretty impossible then -.- | 21:18 |
| yofel | other than porting stuff to upstart | 21:18 |
| kklimonda | mongo: why do they have to start before failsafe? | 21:18 |
| mongo | yofel: ya, this is where ubuntu needs to push back more upstream | 21:18 |
| mongo | kklimonda: because I don't like to wait 120 seconds for a machine to boot for no reason | 21:18 |
| yofel | mongo: they're in universe, so feel free to push upstream, canonical won't do a thing | 21:18 |
| mongo | yofel: I know, it is just a pitty because the package is pretty critical to the virtual server bit | 21:19 |
| mongo | yofel: I'm not anti ubuntu but these things are fustrating :) | 21:20 |
| yofel | file a bug and find someone that fixes it, I fear you can't do more | 21:20 |
| kklimonda | mongo: shouldn't it be enough to configure network with /etc/network/interfaces ? | 21:20 |
| mongo | the past several release have been about UI and have ignored the rest it seems | 21:20 |
| kklimonda | mongo: failsafe should quit once both filesystem and static-network-up are emitted | 21:20 |
| mongo | kklimonda: openvswitch is a virtual switch, way past /etc/network/interfaces | 21:20 |
| kklimonda | mongo: what do you mean? | 21:21 |
| mongo | yofel: well if they bump wheezy up to the latest qemu-kvm/libvirt we will probably just migrate to wheezy when it is released | 21:21 |
| mongo | kklimonda: you don't configure the interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces, it is a complete ethernet soft switch | 21:22 |
| yofel | mongo: as I'm not familiar with openvswitch, what do you need to have up for the system to boot? | 21:22 |
| yofel | hm | 21:22 |
| mongo | yofel: to have network | 21:23 |
| mongo | yofel: once they go back to the /etc/rc.? scripts it does come up | 21:23 |
| mongo | but after 120seconds of sitting doing nothing due to sleep 60's | 21:23 |
| kklimonda | mongo: if it completely replaces debian/ubuntu network config then you have to modify its init scripts to emit signals that upstart expects | 21:24 |
| yofel | you could probably throw the "and static-network-up" condition out of the start requirements for rc-sysinit | 21:24 |
| mongo | kklimonda: it works fine with ifup | 21:24 |
| mongo | yofel: I have those | 21:24 |
| kklimonda | mongo: that's pretty much what ifup -a does | 21:24 |
| mongo | but 12.04 starts static entries after failsafe | 21:24 |
| kklimonda | erm, networking.conf | 21:24 |
| kklimonda | but I guess it's too early because some daemon is not yet running | 21:25 |
| mongo | kklimonda: I do have to add in an up and down line in interfaces because there is not a physical device | 21:25 |
| kklimonda | mongo: have you tried editing init scripts so they emit static-network-up when network is actually up? | 21:25 |
| mongo | kklimonda: how do I get upstart to do an init job for network? | 21:25 |
| kklimonda | (upstart nor failsafe really care what handles network - it just waits for this signal to continue) | 21:25 |
| kklimonda | mongo: there is initctl emit | 21:26 |
| kklimonda | man initctl | 21:26 |
| uyaffe_ | Hi, need some help. can't fine MySQL Query Browser after upgrading my Ubuntu to version 12.04 | 21:26 |
| yofel | true, so either /run/network doesn't exist soon enough, or ifup -a hangs | 21:26 |
| mongo | ls | 21:26 |
| mongo | it is a pitty that it didn't make it into the ltr | 21:27 |
| kklimonda | well, it's not too late | 21:28 |
| mongo | isn't it all GUI now | 21:28 |
| kklimonda | but universe packages are maintained by people who care about it | 21:28 |
| mongo | the packages are in universe though | 21:28 |
| kklimonda | them* | 21:28 |
| mongo | kklimonda: this is a base kernel function now as of 3.3 though | 21:28 |
| kklimonda | so it's up to you to prepare a patch and push it if you really need it | 21:28 |
| mongo | or just move to debian | 21:28 |
| mongo | kklimonda: this is a big thing, not some random package like xsnow | 21:29 |
| yofel | uyaffe_: was removed: | 21:29 |
| yofel | Deleted on 2011-11-28 by Colin Watson, requested by clint-fewbar; EOL upstream; fails to link against MySQL 5.5; LP: #896463 | 21:29 |
| mongo | although to be honest the libvirt version is too old to take advantage of it | 21:29 |
| kklimonda | mongo: it's in universe so it's not really a matter of a size/importance but who is responsible for it | 21:29 |
| kklimonda | as it's a complicated package it should be fixed by someone who can actually test the fix and see if it works | 21:30 |
| mongo | kklimonda: well the upstream is debian | 21:30 |
| mongo | kklimonda: there are lots of debian maintained packages that are not universe | 21:31 |
| mongo | kklimonda: e.g. network manager is not ubuntu | 21:32 |
| uyaffe_ | yofel- But I downloaded it 4 days ago... | 21:32 |
| kklimonda | mongo: I don't see the point | 21:32 |
| mongo | kklimonda: ubuntu pulls base functinality packages in all the time | 21:32 |
| kklimonda | mongo: what I mean is that someone has to fix it | 21:32 |
| yofel | uyaffe_: not from precise I would say | 21:32 |
| kklimonda | mongo: Canonical isn't interested in it because no one has paid them for it | 21:32 |
| yofel | it's avaliable in all older releases | 21:32 |
| kklimonda | mongo: most community developers can't fix it because they don't use it | 21:32 |
| uyaffe_ | yofel: I downloaded it from the Ubuntu Software Center | 21:33 |
| mongo | kklimonda: yes but the depricated package is, bridge-utils | 21:33 |
| yofel | uyaffe_: using which release? | 21:33 |
| kklimonda | mongo: you can ask people for help (I'd try #ubuntu-devel and #ubuntu-server) but if you really want to see it fixed then you'll have to get your hands dirty | 21:33 |
| kklimonda | or switch a distribution | 21:33 |
| yofel | uyaffe_: see bug 896463 for more information | 21:33 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 896463 in mysql-gui-tools (Ubuntu) "EOL upstream, should be dropped from precise" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/896463 | 21:33 |
| kklimonda | I don't see any other option - it won't get fixed by itself | 21:33 |
| bearded-sully | I have a dual boot set up with a shared storage partition, Win xp and Ubuntu Precise, I'm trying to change the default file locations of ubuntu to be in the storage partition, which I have auto mounting on boot already. any pointers? It's not how it used to be before unity... | 21:33 |
| mongo | kklimonda: really no, I just want to figure out how to get to go in the right order | 21:34 |
| kklimonda | mongo: I've already told you what I'd try to do | 21:34 |
| mongo | kklimonda: and i'm trying to free up a physical to try it right now | 21:34 |
| kklimonda | great :) | 21:34 |
| uyaffe_ | yofel: so what can I do now? is it possible to get it from somewhere? | 21:34 |
| bearded-sully | was my question too long winded? | 21:35 |
| kklimonda | uyaffe_: you can still download a tar.gz and install it by yourself | 21:35 |
| yofel | uyaffe_: well, the bug says it doesn't work with mysql 5.5, so I doubt getting it from somewhere else will help you | 21:35 |
| mongo | kklimonda: are there tools to parse the order upstart events happen? | 21:35 |
| yofel | unless you downgrade mysql | 21:35 |
| kklimonda | bearded-sully: what do you mean by "default file locations"? | 21:35 |
| uyaffe_ | How can I downgrade? I alsoow to install it found the MySQL GUI Tools.tar.gz but I don't have a clue on h | 21:36 |
| uyaffe_ | I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux | 21:36 |
| mongo | really both /etc/network/interfaces and this should be an net-device-up event | 21:37 |
| bearded-sully | my "video" "pictures" etc folders that show up in the left side of nautilus | 21:38 |
| guntbert | uyaffe_: no offense: but why do you work with a beta system if you are new ? | 21:38 |
| kklimonda | uyaffe_: downgrading isn't supported | 21:38 |
| bearded-sully | I may have found something though | 21:38 |
| bearded-sully | symlinks? | 21:38 |
| yofel | mongo: well, networking.conf runs ifup -a and emits static-network-up | 21:38 |
| kklimonda | mongo: well, you can run upstart with --verbose afair and then you'll see all events in the log (I don't remember which one) | 21:38 |
| yofel | and net-device-up | 21:38 |
| jinjorge | uyaffe: not sure you are going to get a tutorial here on how to install a software package | 21:38 |
| kklimonda | there is no graph, but the log is quite readable | 21:38 |
| jinjorge | may want to google it | 21:38 |
| kklimonda | bearded-sully: you can edit $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs | 21:38 |
| uyaffe_ | Ok, Thanks all. | 21:40 |
| mongo | kklimonda: I need to do that with shutdown, the refusing to reboot without a power cycle is a bigger problem | 21:41 |
| bearded-sully | thank you! Much easier than what I was looking at! | 21:41 |
| treebear | where are the logs for drive failures? | 21:42 |
| guntbert | treebear: all logs are under /var/log | 21:42 |
| treebear | ah | 21:42 |
| treebear | thanks | 21:42 |
| mongo | really I just just make upstart scripts and shove this in my PPA | 21:43 |
| mongo | my poor PPA, tried to get a arm cross compiler to upload there forever but I couldn't figure out bootstrap on the build servers | 21:44 |
| mongo | hrm, upstart uses udev events for this, so that is probably what needs to happen, udev rules? | 21:49 |
| === synaptix|ubuntu is now known as synaptix|TF2 | ||
| mongo | hrm yes, starting it earlier should work, this may be an easy conversion as it does shove it out as a net device in udev | 21:54 |
| metaph | hi evrybody | 21:56 |
| metaph | was forced to shut down when trying gnome-shell and after rebooting cannot go through the login screen! | 21:58 |
| treebar | hey guys | 21:59 |
| treebar | i did a terrible mistake | 21:59 |
| treebar | i removed vmlinuz file from my system | 21:59 |
| treebar | completely | 21:59 |
| treebar | even the vmlinuz.old | 21:59 |
| treebar | what would happen if i reboot my machine now? | 21:59 |
| yofel | boot a live disk, chroot to the system and reinstall the kernel image package | 21:59 |
| metaph | now can only login as guest, even creating a new user with useradd doesnt work | 21:59 |
| yofel | treebar: it won't boot without a kernel | 21:59 |
| treebar | the initrd.img was not removed though | 22:00 |
| yofel | treebar: if you have the system still running just reinstall the kernel image | 22:00 |
| treebar | yeah it's still running | 22:00 |
| yofel | treebar: that's the initramfs, you still need the kernel itself (vmlinuz) | 22:00 |
| treebar | i'm on it right now | 22:00 |
| treebar | shit | 22:00 |
| treebar | is there a quick wy to reinstall the kernel now? | 22:01 |
| yofel | then reinstall linux-image-3.2.0-19-generic or what's current | 22:01 |
| treebar | i'm on Lubuntu 11.10 | 22:01 |
| treebar | got any idea what the command would be? | 22:01 |
| yofel | wrong channel then, this is only for 12.04 support - but there it would be 3.0.0, and same procedure | 22:01 |
| yofel | apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.2.0-19-generic | 22:02 |
| DropsOfSerenity | does anyone know when the compiz patch is coming in that fixes the rebinding of the HUD key problem with alt-tab? | 22:02 |
| DropsOfSerenity | the bug page says the fix is in compiz-core revision 3057, ubuntu is on 3035 at the moment, I'm wondering when 3057 will be included with the updates | 22:02 |
| yofel | using your kernel though - look at how initrd is named | 22:02 |
| yofel | treebar: wait though, *what* did you remove | 22:02 |
| yofel | ? | 22:02 |
| yofel | /vmlinuz, or /boot/<something> ? | 22:03 |
| metaph | is there a way to restore the session without creating a new user?? dont know what happened, but cannot login. Even chrooting the partition from recovery mode to run upgrade & upgrade, in case there was some broken packages, didnt solve it | 22:03 |
| treebar | yofel: just /vmlinuz | 22:03 |
| treebar | and /vmlinuz.old | 22:03 |
| yofel | treebar: those are just symlinks | 22:04 |
| yofel | for example: /vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-19-generic | 22:04 |
| yofel | for me | 22:04 |
| yofel | but reinstalling your kernel package should fix that too | 22:04 |
| treebar | so i can safely reboot my machine? | 22:04 |
| yofel | probably | 22:04 |
| yofel | I would still fix it though | 22:05 |
| treebar | will that file vmlinuz be recreated at the reboot? | 22:05 |
| yofel | no | 22:05 |
| yofel | treebar: what's the highest vmlinuz version in /boot ? | 22:06 |
| treebar | yofel: it's 3.0.0-16 | 22:08 |
| yofel | treebar: sudo ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-16-generic /vmlinuz | 22:09 |
| treebar | thanks mate | 22:09 |
| * yofel isn't sure what even uses those files though | 22:09 | |
| kklimonda | does anything actually use /vmlinuz ? | 22:10 |
| treebar | yofel: yuo are the best | 22:10 |
| kklimonda | grub is configured to point to /boot/vmlinuz-* directly | 22:10 |
| treebar | now vmlinuz is restored in / | 22:10 |
| treebar | thanks again | 22:10 |
| bandit5432 | could some point me in the right direction for mainline kernel version 3.3 discussions? | 22:47 |
| kklimonda | bandit5432: what discussions do you have in mind? | 22:51 |
| bandit5432 | kernel v3.3-precise does not recognize my ide optical drives any thoughts? v3.3-rc7-precise works fine | 22:51 |
| bandit5432 | as precise is still looking at shipping with 3.2 I was not sure where to ask | 22:53 |
| kklimonda | bandit5432: mainline kernels have bugzilla https://bugzilla.kernel.org/ and you can probably report the bug there | 22:54 |
| kklimonda | LKML is also a possibility, but first you'd have to do a git bisect to track a problem | 22:54 |
| bandit5432 | well i always do bug reports like an idiot so i wanted to ask some where first | 22:55 |
| kklimonda | at this point it's an upstream problem and given a number of patches between rc7 and final release it should be rather simple to track it down | 22:57 |
| bandit5432 | i will search the LKML and see if any one else is having issues | 22:58 |
| bandit5432 | for a smart person yes | 22:58 |
| kklimonda | well, it's really a matter of doing a git bisect - it's not hard, but takes some time to learn and do that | 22:59 |
| bandit5432 | git bisect i will go look that up | 22:59 |
| === jalcine is now known as jalcine_ | ||
| bandit5432 | kklimonda, thanks for the information I will see how this git bisect works although at the rate i am downloading it will be a while | 23:12 |
| kklimonda | bandit5432: in the meantime you can contact kernel devs on lkml, i think http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html should still be an accurate description of what the report should have | 23:14 |
| bandit5432 | kklimonda, will do | 23:15 |
| Dbm | Hello guys, ive need help. When i'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 LTS i bootup via USB, all works fine till i get in narea to clear whole HDD and install fresh system. I got some Warning about /dev/sda msdos or something. | 23:27 |
| Dbm | anyone? | 23:31 |
| ironhalik | hmm, my intek 945 runs a whoopin 30 fps in glxgears | 23:41 |
| ironhalik | intel | 23:41 |
| Daekdroom | ironhalik, vsync | 23:46 |
| ironhalik | it would be at 60 with vsync | 23:48 |
| ironhalik | I guess | 23:48 |
| ironhalik | :> | 23:48 |
| Daekdroom | Unless it missed every single vblank while rendering. | 23:48 |
| Daekdroom | i.e. every frame takes two vblanks to render. | 23:48 |
| Daekdroom | Which is weird for glxgears, but might happen. | 23:49 |
| Daekdroom | Are you using the default 300x300 for the glxgears window? | 23:49 |
| ironhalik | yeah | 23:49 |
| kklimonda | there is a way to disable it | 23:50 |
| kklimonda | (vsync that is) | 23:50 |
| kklimonda | but I can't remember the correct name for the variable to set | 23:51 |
| ironhalik | yeah, Ill check it out when I resore my Xorg :> | 23:51 |
| Daekdroom | Why disable vsync? | 23:51 |
| ironhalik | just for testing | 23:51 |
| kklimonda | to see how slow is glxgears really running | 23:52 |
| ironhalik | if its vsync or some driver issue etc | 23:52 |
| ironhalik | you mean how _fast_ it is really running ;> | 23:52 |
| Daekdroom | I'd check glxinfo | grep OpenGL to see whether you're using software fallback for 3D rendering. | 23:52 |
| kklimonda | ah, it's vblank_mode=0 | 23:52 |
| kklimonda | vblank_mode=0 glxgears will work | 23:52 |
| Daekdroom | It's the most straightforward way to see if there's anything wrong. | 23:52 |
| ironhalik | kk sec | 23:53 |
| ironhalik | well, it says it uses mesa 8.0.1 | 23:54 |
| ironhalik | Mesa DRI Intel 945GM, 1.4 Mesa | 23:54 |
| ironhalik | without any extensions | 23:54 |
| kklimonda | I get whole 360 fps on this netbook | 23:55 |
| kklimonda | sounds about right | 23:55 |
| FernandoMiguel | kklimonda: p/ | 23:55 |
| kklimonda | FernandoMiguel: wow, haven't seen you around in a while :) | 23:55 |
| kklimonda | FernandoMiguel: hey :) | 23:55 |
| FernandoMiguel | yeah | 23:55 |
| ironhalik | yup, with vblank overriden, glxgears gives 360 frames too | 23:55 |
| kklimonda | bah, my gpu isn't even strong enough to run unity :/ | 23:57 |
| kklimonda | well, I guess an entire configuration is to blame | 23:57 |
| kklimonda | at least it gives me a reason to play with unity-3d | 23:58 |
| kklimonda | unity-2d even | 23:58 |
| FernandoMiguel | LOL | 23:58 |
| ironhalik | mine manages unity | 23:58 |
| ironhalik | somewhat manages ;> | 23:58 |
| bandit5432 | depends on who you ask some would say that not running unity is a blessing | 23:58 |
| FernandoMiguel | even my Intel is more then enough | 23:58 |
| ironhalik | I'm wondering if I can squeeze some more apparen performance out of it | 23:59 |
