| oscarpaats | Hi. How to enable webGL in Google Chrome? | 01:09 |
| oscarpaats | I tried the terminal one but does not work | 01:09 |
| trism | oscarpaats: it works on my nvidia desktop with chromium, but not on this netbook with intel, this page: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1220892 vaguely indicates that mesa < 7.9 is required to work with intel, but we have 8.0 in precise, so that may be a reason | 01:23 |
| simononlaptop | Is it possible to update 11.10 to 12.04 through termianl yet | 01:38 |
| mkultra_ | doubt it | 01:38 |

| NFisher | Hi all! how do i get transperent gnome panels in 12.04? | 01:39 |
| simononlaptop | I have awful internet thats why i asked lol | 01:40 |
| mkultra_ | i would turn compiz on fisher | 01:41 |
| ratcheer | simononlaptop: Upgrading via terminal or GUI shouldn't make much difference for the internet access. | 01:41 |
| mkultra_ | and use transparency plugin | 01:41 |
| mkultra_ | make sure to get the plugins for compiz | 01:42 |
| mkultra_ | and ccsm to enable your plugins to enable transparency through that | 01:42 |
| NFisher | thx | 01:42 |
| simononlaptop | anything is a difference on 20kps down | 01:42 |
| NFisher | did it for me :) | 01:42 |
| trism | NFisher: you can use gnome-tweak-tool to change themes, also System Settings/Appearance lets you change between a few hardcoded themes | 01:43 |
| NFisher | oh ok thx! | 01:44 |
| trism | NFisher: yes, transparent panels weren't working so well with the applets last time I tried | 01:44 |

| mkultra_ | alt + mousewheel opacity on everything | 01:45 |
| NFisher | can you tell me which font was default in 10.04? | 01:46 |
| mkultra_ | nope, 10.04 is really old | 01:47 |
| NFisher | hmm... | 01:47 |
| mkultra_ | i went from 10.10 to 10.04 and it was horrible | 01:47 |
| mkultra_ | lol | 01:47 |

| bitplane- | okay, so how do I add my XPS to the list of devices that will happily suspend/hibernate/resume? I've never had problems with it on this laptop | 02:05 |
| mkultra_ | ive not trusted it since win2k, its a trap | 02:06 |
| mkultra_ | though it does sound much better than years ago from what your saying about it | 02:07 |
| trism | bitplane-: I don't think there is actually a list, it is just disabled for everyone by default, the first answer shows a method to enable it again | 02:08 |
| bitplane- | ah, that's a pretty crappy decision IMO | 02:09 |
| bitplane- | hacking around with settings files in admin mode to enable a bread-and-butter feature | 02:09 |

| NFisher | HI all, me again:)... I just created a Start-up-USB-Stick within Ubuntu 12.04 Beta2 using the given Start-Disk creator. I want to creeate a bootable version of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Now as the creator finished, and i tried to boot from the USB-Stick the following Error occurred (i created it 2 times by now, same error): "Unknown keyword in configuration file: gfxboot ; vesamenu.c32: not a COM32R image ; boot:" what do i do?!? | 02:57 |
| trism | NFisher: I usually use unetbootin to workaround that problem (usb-creator tends to use options older versions of ubuntu don't support, and it is a pain to manually edit them) | 02:58 |
| NFisher | trism, ill give it a try, thx! | 02:59 |
| mkultra_ | yeah unetbootin key works good | 03:03 |
| mkultra_ | nice to be able to boot to it and test if its my end or not | 03:04 |
| RedBunny | i sed pendriveelinux just this week to install ubuntu 12.04 | 03:07 |

| RedBunny | can someone tell me how to set up the google calader function in Thunderbird ,... | 03:08 |
| etfb | Very impressed with 12.04. Can't wait to get the rest of my family onto it. Looking good so far! | 03:08 |
| RedBunny | i have the section but dont know the url to put in ,.... | 03:08 |
| micahg | RedBunny: install lightning-extension | 03:09 |
| RedBunny | yeah i havent been on linux since 2003 and then i was a Slackware fanatic,... this rocks | 03:09 |
| micahg | RedBunny: that is xul-ext-lightning | 03:09 |
| RedBunny | ok | 03:09 |
| RedBunny | actually i think i installed it already but its asking for a google url | 03:09 |
| RedBunny | should it be asking for a google url or have i installed a wrongplugin ,...? | 03:10 |
| micahg | umm, I would think one is needed to access a google calendar, but idr | 03:11 |
| RedBunny | one what ,.. i do have lighting working,,,, but looking to connect it to google calader | 03:13 |
| etfb | One thing I noticed, never having used a pre-release Ubuntu before, is that the automatic upgrade doesn't happen. I can sudo apt-get dist-upgrade whenever I remember, but what do I do to automate the process? | 03:14 |
| micahg | RedBunny: yeah, there should be instructions in google calendar for adding it to clients | 03:14 |
| micahg | etfb: update-manager should be prompting you when there are updates waiting | 03:15 |
| scientes | anyone else finding that cups is broken ? | 03:15 |
| etfb | scientes: I seem to be printing OK, without any extra fiddling. | 03:15 |
| scientes | well im not trying to print | 03:16 |
| scientes | i get dpkg problems | 03:16 |
| etfb | micahg: Not for me. How do I check if it's running? | 03:16 |
| scientes | i tried purging and reinstalling and it didn't help | 03:16 |
| RedBunny | aye good point | 03:16 |
| micahg | etfb: is update-notifier running? | 03:16 |
| scientes | invoke-rc.d: initscript cups, action "start" failed. | 03:17 |
| scientes | thats the error ^ | 03:17 |
| etfb | micahg: Apparently, yes. ps says it is, anyhow. | 03:17 |
| etfb | But I don't think it's ever notified me of any updates. | 03:17 |
| micahg | scientes: cups uses upstart | 03:17 |
| scientes | i am using upstart | 03:18 |
| scientes | but im using a mainline kernel | 03:18 |
| scientes | if that makes any difference | 03:18 |
| micahg | scientes: service cups status | 03:18 |
| scientes | that error makes dpkg unhappy | 03:18 |
| micahg | oh, hmm, on upgrade? | 03:18 |
| scientes | yeah | 03:18 |
| micahg | scientes: hmm, might be worth filing a bug | 03:19 |
| scientes | i had to remove cups in order to upgrade other stuff | 03:19 |
| micahg | I see Bug #968748 | 03:20 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 968748 in cups (Ubuntu) "package cups 1.5.2-8bzr2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/968748 | 03:20 |
| micahg | which is about lpstat not working | 03:20 |
| etfb | micahg: I've switched everything on in update manager anyhow. I'll see if that works. It might have only been checking weekly and I didn't notice. | 03:21 |
| scientes | well i though that i had disabled it, so i did update-rc.d cups defaults | 03:21 |
| scientes | after i tried a reinstall | 03:21 |
| etfb | Has anyone got VMWare Player to work in 12.04? | 03:21 |
| scientes | >VMWare Player | 03:22 |
| scientes | yuck | 03:22 |
| scientes | what OS is the host etfb ? | 03:22 |
| scientes | and well, the person that filed that bug was using 12.04 with vmware | 03:23 |
| etfb | Can't get as far as running a VM, scientes -- it won't compile itself because of problems with the VMWare Network Drivers, apparently. | 03:24 |
| scientes | oh that | 03:26 |
| scientes | just use virt-manager + qemu-kvm | 03:27 |
| etfb | Ah, looking at the errors, it appears they haven't updated yet to handle the latest kernel. | 03:27 |
| scientes | VMWare player is serious anti-feature software anyways | 03:27 |
| scientes | yes, that is the problem, just use the great KVM, which is faster | 03:27 |
| scientes | and has the awesome baloon memory driver | 03:27 |
| scientes | so you can reallocate guest memory on the fly | 03:27 |
| etfb | No, I've tried VirtualBox and the abortive Microsoft equivalent. Both are hideously flaky. VMWare has always been excellent. Unless I can easily port my dozens of virtual machines, I'm not going to try any alternatives. | 03:28 |
| scientes | (if its a linux guest) | 03:28 |
| scientes | virt-manager works on native vmdk files | 03:28 |
| scientes | *qemu does, but virt-manager is just a qemu/virsh front-end | 03:28 |
| etfb | I don't need clever features. I need a VM system that doesn't crash when I do controversial things like moving the mouse or pressing the Ctrl key. | 03:28 |
| scientes | all you have to do is apt-get install virt-manager qemu-kvm | 03:28 |
| * scientes has never had those problems | 03:29 | |
| etfb | Well, if it won't break my VMs, I'll try it. VirtualBox soured me on FLOSS VMs though. Such an ugly, broken piece of software... | 03:29 |
| * scientes doesn't like VirtualBox | 03:29 | |
| scientes | virt-manager and kvm are heavily red-hat funded pieces of software | 03:30 |
| etfb | The only downside to VMWare is waiting up to a month for it to work with each major kernel upgrade. | 03:30 |
| scientes | the only thing you don't get with KVM is it wont work on computers without virt extensions | 03:30 |
| etfb | Ah, that makes a difference. Not impressed with RH or Fedora as distros, but you have to respect a company that can make a billion dollars at something. | 03:30 |
| etfb | Virt extensions? | 03:31 |
| scientes | AMD-V and vt-X, the cpu extensions that make virtualization perform well on cpu stuff | 03:31 |
| scientes | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization#Processor | 03:31 |
| scientes | VMWare, Xen, and kqemu work without those extensions, all the other platforms require them | 03:32 |
| etfb | I'm on a relatively recent ThinkPad, so I'll presume I'm safe. I'll have a look. | 03:32 |
| scientes | yes, you are safe, although intel did segment it's processor market with that feature for a while (AMD never did) | 03:32 |
| scientes | egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo | 03:33 |
| scientes | type that into your terminal to check | 03:33 |
| scientes | wow, that -c is stupid | 03:33 |
| etfb | E: Unable to locate package virt-manager | 03:35 |
| etfb | E: Unable to locate package qemu-kvm | 03:35 |
| etfb | 03:35 | |
| scientes | you have to turn on universe | 03:35 |
| etfb | Funny - I thought I had. Lemme check that... | 03:35 |
| scientes | also, which not strictly required, i recommend running 64-bit OS | 03:35 |
| etfb | Oh, I don't... | 03:36 |
| etfb | I just barely survived the move from 8 bits to 16, and I'm still suffering from the introduction of 32 bits. I don't want to risk doubling down again for at least another thirty or forty years. The nightmares! | 03:37 |
| etfb | Universe is on. Might need a kick in the repositories... | 03:38 |
| scientes | Linux has done VERY well in the transition | 03:38 |
| scientes | however there was some problems with 32-bit compat in 64-bit linux | 03:38 |
| scientes | BUT | 03:38 |
| scientes | now ubuntu has multiarch | 03:38 |
| scientes | so that works well again | 03:38 |
| scientes | 32-bit and 64-bit libraries are co-installable | 03:38 |
| etfb | Ah - apt-get update fixed it. Happier now. | 03:39 |
| scientes | after install you have to do sudo adduser $USER libvirtd; sudo adduser $USER kvm | 03:45 |
| scientes | and the logout and log back in | 03:45 |
| scientes | if you want to use virtual machine as non-root | 03:46 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 925473 in udev (Ubuntu) "USB 3g modems dont switch to ttyUSB until udevadm trigger" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 05:44 |
| frybye | re: I have now been able to boot to the 12.04 b2 live cd by using nomodset. What do i need to do now so that after installing the system (as dual-boot with win7) so that when it starts the screen is not a mess... is there some way to install the proprietory nvidia drivers during the install of 12.04 even before it re-boots? | 05:44 |
| ozzfan76 | but even with the sudo udevadm trigger command, nothing really happens | 05:45 |
| frybye | ah - I have got it - after the install I can still select nomodset on first boot and then install the nvidia drivers.. sorry I was still sleeping apparently.. ok bye now... | 05:46 |
| anthropos | you cna also add nomodeset in /etc/default/grub | 05:47 |
| frybye | anthropos: If i am not mistaken I only need to use it once and then install the nvidia (tm) drivers... | 05:50 |
| anthropos | possibly, but just keep the aforementioned in mind | 05:51 |
| anthropos | if you have the same prob, just boot once by specifying nomodeset manually, then enable it permenantly using /etc/default/grub | 05:51 |
| frybye | snz | 05:51 |
| frybye | anthropos: ok thanks.. (sorry i let the keyboard slip... ;=) | 05:52 |
| anthropos | np | 05:52 |
| ozzfan76 | ok anthropos, i suppose i have to wait for the release so that this is sorted out. | 05:54 |
| anthropos | ozzfan76, I don't know about the bug.. but I would check what I suggested first. i.e., is the module even loaded? | 05:54 |
| ozzfan76 | ok.. i'm on windows on so i'll have to reboot to try it out | 05:55 |
| ozzfan76 | how do i load the module if it isn't loaded already? | 05:55 |
| anthropos | you can use modprobe to do so | 05:56 |
| anthropos | but if it's not loaded, chances are there is a reason | 05:56 |
| anthropos | e.g. its broken or blacklisted | 05:56 |
| anthropos | do you have another comp you can use so you can bei n here while you try? | 05:56 |
| ozzfan76 | anthropos: no :( not right now.. but i'll try later and let it know in here | 05:58 |
| anthropos | k. the output of lsmod and sudo lshw -C network | 06:01 |
| anthropos | could both be useful, if you can save them somehow | 06:01 |
| ozzfan76 | anthropos: ok i'll do that. cya later :) thx. | 06:03 |
| frybye | anthropos: the pc boots straight to win7 and does not offer the grub menu to select os?? Grrr..... hehe | 06:10 |
| anthropos | hold shift as its booting frybye | 06:11 |
| anthropos | see if that brings up grub | 06:11 |
| frybye | ok - thanks - give it a try... | 06:11 |
| anthropos | np | 06:11 |
| anthropos | let me know how it goes | 06:11 |
| frybye | anthropos: nope - still goes straight to win7 | 06:12 |
| frybye | anthropos: perhaps dosen#t help that I have a MS wireless keyboard...? | 06:13 |
| arand | frybye: Did you install the windows bootloader on top? | 06:13 |
| frybye | but the keyboad normally works from first second so... | 06:13 |
| frybye | arand: I just did the installation "parallel to win7" as offered from the live cd | 06:14 |
| frybye | arand: normally I would have expected the os selections menu to appear - cos nothing out of the ordinary was done after the 12.04 dual boot install | 06:15 |
| arand | Maybe it failed to get grub in the mbr then, see if you can boot the liveCD and run the bootinfo script.. | 06:15 |
| arand | !bootinfo | 06:15 |
| ubottu | Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 06:15 |
| anthropos | frybye, you can try to reinstall grub using the live cd | 06:19 |
| anthropos | arand is giving you good advice that will lead to that if necessary | 06:19 |
| frybye | anthropos: how do I do that please? | 06:19 |
| anthropos | there should be docs on it online. folow arand's link or google for something like "ubuntu 11.10 live cd reinstall grub" | 06:19 |
| frybye | anthropos: to be honest i see little point in a lot of diagnostics - just reinstall grub would do it I hope or.ö.? | 06:20 |
| arand | !grub | 06:20 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 06:20 |
| arand | ^ RestoreGrub | 06:20 |
| anthropos | reinstalling grub will probably work | 06:20 |
| anthropos | do the lost grub installing windows one above | 06:20 |
| frybye | hmm.. the lin is on other pc of course.. bit complicated..I wll google with the live install... | 06:20 |
| anthropos | even though you apparently didn't lose it doing that | 06:20 |
| arand | However, if it is indeed the case that it failed to install grub, it would be very nice to confirm that via the bootinfo script and report a bug on ubiquity, so that it may get fixed. | 06:22 |
| RedBunny | how do i add a folder to the file manager ,... i ve added a Websites folder to my home folder but want it to show up on the left | 06:25 |
| arand | RedBunny: You can simply drag it there, I think, or use ctrl+d to bookmark the current folder. | 06:26 |
| RedBunny | ok ill try | 06:26 |
| MCR | arand: I did not know about boot repair yet - interesting :) | 06:27 |
| RedBunny | nope didnt work | 06:32 |
| frybye | anthropos: arand - thanks you guys - this is now working fine.. the nividia driver (tm) had already been installed during install - i did not even have to use nomodset once... | 06:33 |
| frybye | - after install I mean... | 06:33 |
| ozzfan76 | anthropos, i'm back.. i have the output from lsmod and lshw -C network in a text file. Can i post the contents here? | 06:34 |
| arand | frybye: So reinstalling grub fixed it? | 06:34 |
| RedBunny | is there a program manager to force quit a program ,... like task manager .? | 06:34 |
| frybye | arand: yes - using the automatic repair option... | 06:35 |
| arand | frybye: In that case, report a bug on ubiquity (the installer) since failing to install grub is quite a major issue. | 06:35 |
| anthropos | ozzfan76, yes pastebin it | 06:35 |
| anthropos | RedBunny, open a terminal and type 'kill -9 <pid>' where the PID is the process id you get from 'ps aux' or something similar | 06:36 |
| arand | RedBunny: system monitor (gnome-system-monitor) | 06:36 |
| anthropos | or that... | 06:36 |
| frybye | arand: ok - in a bit... | 06:36 |
| arand | frybye: I think you should be able to use "ubuntu-bug ubiquity" for that. | 06:37 |
| frybye | ok - thats cool | 06:37 |
| ozzfan76 | anthropos, here is the output of lsmod, http://pastebin.com/UWjchKJG | 06:39 |
| RedBunny | thanx system monitor worked | 06:40 |
| anthropos | ozzfan76, do you have the output of these for the working version of ubuntu, also? | 06:40 |
| arand | frybye: If it does not automatically please attach the contents of /var/log/installer/ | 06:41 |
| arand | to the bug report | 06:41 |
| ozzfan76 | anthropos, no not right now | 06:41 |
| ozzfan76 | i do have the device id of the CDMA modem | 06:41 |
| ozzfan76 | will that help? | 06:41 |
| anthropos | do you have the output of lshw | 06:42 |
| RedBunny | can someone help... where there are suppost to be 'commas and appostraphies, ,', ', they are showing like o's w/ filagree and stuff ,... how did i get this to happen ,...? | 06:43 |
| RedBunny | whereever somehting has run outt of room to be shown | 06:43 |
| RedBunny | too | 06:43 |
| ozzfan76 | anthropos, here is is the lshw output: http://pastebin.com/xbsAkJGc | 06:48 |
| anthropos | is it the wifi or ethernet you want to get working | 06:50 |
| ozzfan76 | the wifi and ethernet are working | 06:51 |
| ozzfan76 | that is how i am using the net | 06:51 |
| anthropos | so it's a dialup modem? | 06:53 |
| ozzfan76 | what isn't working is a modem, a CDMA modem, device id 1c9e:9e00, which would previously get detected automatically and be listed in the Network Manager so I could connect to the net with it | 06:53 |
| ozzfan76 | yes i think its a dial up modem .. USB 3G modem | 06:53 |
| anthropos | well these devices in lshw aren't it. you might need to use lsusb -v | 06:53 |
| anthropos | or lshw without the -C | 06:54 |
| ozzfan76 | ok checking | 06:54 |
| ozzfan76 | it is listed in lsusb as: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 1c9e:9e00 OMEGA TECHNOLOGY | 06:55 |
| anthropos | any other info? | 06:57 |
| anthropos | it would be best to have access to the working distro | 06:57 |
| anthropos | you need to figure out what module is loaded that correspondsto that when it's functioning | 06:57 |
| ozzfan76 | ok i'll check that when i'm home. Sorry i don't have a working distro here. | 07:01 |
| anthropos | np | 07:02 |
| RedBunny | where do i set the encoding for writting ,...? | 07:04 |

| RedBunny | i somehow loded gnome desktop onto my sys, when i logout it now loads into gnome is there a way to make it just unity | 07:26 |
| Fyodorovna | RedBunny, choose the desktop from the gear dropdown at the login. | 07:27 |
| RedBunny | i know but i want it to auto boot into unity | 07:27 |
| Fyodorovna | RedBunny, it will autoboot the last desktop run. | 07:28 |
| RedBunny | and i looked at my system programs and gnome isnt installed | 07:28 |
| RedBunny | well it booted into gnome andi was in unity | 07:28 |
| RedBunny | the system update must have changed things | 07:29 |
| Fyodorovna | RedBunny, I had that happen once not sure if it had to do with actually rebooting rather then logging out. | 07:29 |
| RedBunny | can some one tell me how to change the system encoding ,......? | 07:30 |

| frybye | so far I have seen no dialogue for some reason...? | 07:50 |
| anthropos | nice | 07:53 |
| anthropos | nobody is talking :) | 07:53 |
| frybye | anthropos: right - so that makes sence... heheh | 07:53 |
| frybye | the general impression from 12.04 is rather clean and tight somehow - good... | 07:54 |
| bodhi009 | i don't care if it remains gnome | 07:54 |
| frybye | it even worked -out-of-the-box with my creative x-fi soundcard.. which in the past has never worked with linux | 07:55 |
| UrB | on 3rd install of 12.04 here and indeed things are starting to look nice and stable, though I am running gnome3 | 07:55 |
| UrB | haven't dared to try out bluetooth yet to not spoil this moment of satisfaction | 07:56 |
| frybye | oh that's an idea - I have a blutooth plugin thingy in this pc .. can see if it works with the nokia headset... | 07:56 |
| frybye | wow - the BT headset works fine... | 08:02 |
| frybye | hmm... the audio settings not showing up when trying to switch back to speakers... | 08:03 |
| frybye | got it - was already open in background... | 08:04 |
| frybye | UrB: perhaps I have encouraged you a bit?? | 08:05 |
| frybye | depends a bit on what one exactly wants to do with BT maybe... | 08:06 |
| UrB | heh | 08:10 |

| RedBunny | how do i add a folder to the left side of my file explorer ,... under the computer heading ,.. i want to add my Websites folder | 10:17 |
| jokerdino | RedBunny: that's not possible, see http://askubuntu.com/questions/79150/how-to-remove-the-nautilus-bookmarks | 10:17 |
| RedBunny | aye | 10:18 |
| jokerdino | but, you can add it under bookmarks heading | 10:19 |
| Onlyodin | I've just upgraded to 12.04 (Beta 2) and finding that the unity/Ubuntu shell leaves me with no panels. | 10:19 |
| Onlyodin | Ubuntu 2D/Unity 2D seems to work (as well as expected, I guess) | 10:20 |
| Onlyodin | any suggestions? | 10:20 |
| jokerdino | Onlyodin: you got only wallpapers to stare at, i suppose | 10:20 |
| Onlyodin | Wallpapers and desktop icons | 10:20 |

| jokerdino | it is a known bug, bug 963633 | 10:21 |

| Onlyodin | ahh right | 10:21 |
| Onlyodin | goodo | 10:21 |
| jokerdino | it will be fixed, pretty soon. | 10:22 |
| Onlyodin | I don't know if it's 12.04 or the "2D" desktop, but these fonts are gonna take some getting used to! | 10:22 |
| jokerdino | as a workaround, you can try running the command unity --reset in a terminal | 10:22 |
| Onlyodin | will do. brb | 10:23 |
| Onlyodin | Hmm. | 10:26 |
| Onlyodin | Now when I log in using "Ubuntu" instead of "Ubuntu 2D" I get the same gumby unity panel that Ubuntu 2D had/has | 10:26 |
| jokerdino | gumby? | 10:27 |
| jokerdino | how sure are you that you are using unity - 3d? | 10:28 |
| RedBunny | i have a 1.5 tb hd from my win install that holds movies & music ,... how do i change the permissions to be able to back up to there ,...? | 10:29 |
| jokerdino | no idea RedBunny.. | 10:34 |
| Onlyodin | Well, unless selecting "Ubuntu" instead of "Ubuntu 2D" isn't sufficiently accurate, then I suppose I cant be sure. | 10:34 |
| RedBunny | aye | 10:35 |

| ironm | Hello. I hope I can report here some ubuntu 12.04 beta issues (or wishes). When I install precise 12.04 beta (all versions including the today's daily one) on HP DL 385g7 servers with additional NX network card there is an error message: "Missing Firmware Files phanfw.bin and nx3fwct.bin". There is no such message when installing ubuntu 11.10. | 13:01 |
| tsimpson | ironm: you should report a bug on Launchpad about it (or look if there already is one) | 13:01 |
| tsimpson | !bug | 13:01 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 13:01 |
| ironm | thank you in advance for any info if this file will be included in 12.04 | 13:02 |
| philinux | ironm: Wishes are out as it's frozen now. Only bug fixes now | 13:02 |
| ironm | thanks a lot tsimpson | 13:02 |
| tsimpson | missing files and error messages should probably be fixed before release though ;) | 13:02 |
| philinux | Correct | 13:02 |
| ironm | philinux, is such issue a bug for you? | 13:02 |
| ironm | thank you both of you :) | 13:03 |
| philinux | ironm: No but I'm running a desktop and a laptop with normal gui desktop | 13:03 |
| ironm | philinux, It is important for the server | 13:03 |
| philinux | ironm: open a terminal and run ubuntu-bug linux and report it | 13:04 |
| philinux | not sure how to do that from a server never run one | 13:04 |

| philinux | ironm: When you use ubuntu-bug linux it collects all the hardware info for the devs from your specifi machine. Sorry but you have to create a user ID | 13:26 |
| philinux | ironm: Not sure how you would do that from a server anywho as it needs a browser to get to launchpad | 13:28 |
| MCR | Sometimes I ask myself why I am doing all those updates, when each time something new breaks :P | 13:29 |
| MCR | This time smtube :'( | 13:29 |
| ironm | philinux, I just try to run ubuntu-bug (on the server without internet connectivity). I hope to save it as text file or like that | 13:29 |
| MCR | I guess it is the new libwebkit, but how can I connect the smtube maintainers ? | 13:30 |
| philinux | ironm: from man page apport-cli or even use the --save option | 13:31 |
| ironm | philinux, I have ust startet ubuntu-bug ...*but* it requires a package name and there is no choice for such "special" install issue like missing firmware files | 13:33 |
| philinux | ironm: E.G. apport-bug linux --save ~/Desktop/linux.bug | 13:34 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest1812 | ||
| ironm | philinux, really thank you very much for all your hints. | 13:38 |
| philinux | ironm: No worries. Good luck with it | 13:38 |
| ironm | philinux, can I sent this bug description to bugs@ubuntu.com or like that? | 13:40 |
| tsimpson | ironm: no, we only use Launchpad for bug tracking | 13:41 |
| ironm | thank you tsimpson | 13:42 |
| tsimpson | you only need to sign up to LP once, and it allows you to track the progress of the bug and for developers to ask questions | 13:43 |
| ironm | yes .. just a new account | 13:43 |

| kri5_ | Hi there | 14:20 |
| kri5_ | I'm currently trying to install 12.04 through pxe with kickstart | 14:21 |
| kri5_ | But installation hangs out on installing the linux-generic package | 14:21 |
| kri5_ | the error is the following | 14:21 |
| kri5_ | "An error was returned while trying to install the kernel into the target system" | 14:21 |
| kri5_ | "Kernel package : 'linux-generic'." | 14:22 |
| kri5_ | Any ideas? | 14:22 |
| MCR | My current summary on Precise Pixel Perfect: | 14:25 |
| MCR | 1) Compiz unusable here: mad flickering all the time, so I am forced to use Unity2d | 14:26 |
| MCR | 2) The HUD feature always crashes on me (Unity2d) and I am already trying to avoid tapping ALT | 14:27 |
| MCR | 3) Docky always closes randomly and I have to reopen it all the time | 14:27 |
| MCR | 4) smtube the smplayer's youtube browser segfaults | 14:28 |
| glosoli | MCR: have you reported bugs ? | 14:28 |
| MCR | 5) google earth was a pain to install and it does not show pictures correctly | 14:28 |
| MCR | glosoli: sure, but many of the problems observed are not Ubuntu maintained packages | 14:29 |
| MCR | glosoli: but it is kind of hard to use a system without applications | 14:30 |
| MCR | 6) chromium browser sometimes needs to be opened twice to start | 14:31 |
| MCR | 7) no way to get Emerald to work and no support ot get it working | 14:31 |
| MCR | *to | 14:32 |
| glosoli | well try Google Chrome not Chromium just in case | 14:32 |
| glosoli | Google Earth depends on wine | 14:33 |
| MCR | 8) minitube does not play all videos | 14:33 |
| glosoli | and Emerald - I don't pay too much attention to smth that old | 14:33 |
| MCR | glosoli: what are you talking about ? | 14:33 |
| MCR | glosoli: "Google Earth depends on wine" == bullsh*t | 14:33 |
| glosoli | MCR: it doesn't ? | 14:34 |
| MCR | glosoli: Chrome is not open source | 14:34 |
| MCR | glosoli: ofc not | 14:34 |
| glosoli | So what ? | 14:34 |
| glosoli | it's not open source but it works | 14:34 |
| MCR | glosoli: but it depends on ia32-libs | 14:34 |
| frybye | Hi - I have 12.04 b2 with sb x-fi xtreme audio and for some reason the sub-woofer is not working - any tips - | 14:34 |
| Riviera | google earth runs in chrome? | 14:34 |
| frybye | I already got hold of gnome-alsa-mixer but made no progress with it... | 14:35 |
| MCR | 9) No way to enable the internal speaker in my machine when I have line-out attached also | 14:35 |
| MCR | 10) I do not want to be forced to pull the cable to change a setting | 14:35 |
| frybye | brb | 14:36 |
| glosoli | MCR: let me check again why can't you try Google Chrome ? | 14:37 |
| bobweaver | Hello thre any one know why qemu launcher is not working with 12.04 ? | 14:37 |
| MCR | glosoli: why should I want to ? I am just reporting that Chromium needs to be started twice on Precise sometimes... | 14:39 |
| E3D3 | Have Beta a troubleshoot webpage ? | 14:39 |
| glosoli | MCR: are you sure it's twice, or it just takes too long ? | 14:39 |
| MCR | glosoli: it is getting pointless ;) | 14:40 |
| bobweaver | MCR, what happenes when you open in terminal verbosely ? | 14:40 |
| slipttees | hi | 14:42 |
| MCR | bobweaver: that is an idea worth pursuing, I will try next time to see the console output... (this is just a minor issue) | 14:42 |
| slipttees | where change keybord layout in precise | 14:42 |
| slipttees | i have IBM keyboard T60 | 14:42 |
| ironm | me again. In the meantime I have signed is and just now on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs looking around how to report an issue for ubuntu server (precise 12.04). | 14:43 |
| ironm | thank you in advance for a short hint (where to find the right link) | 14:43 |
| slipttees | where select ThinkPad layout in precise/ | 14:44 |
| slipttees | ? | 14:44 |
| E3D3 | Boot gives an error: argument not found. How can I solve this | 14:47 |
| ironm | hello again. anyone here familiar with launchpad. I am on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=precise | 14:53 |
| slipttees | i need configure my keyboard layout to thinkpad t60. | 14:53 |
| slipttees | how can help? | 14:54 |
| ironm | and I would like to open a new issue. What I am missing is the link | 14:54 |
| ironm | thank you in advance for any hints ;) | 14:55 |
| slipttees | dead channel ironm ? | 14:56 |
| astraljava | Guys, beta-2 images are fresh outta oven. Give the devs a little break for all their hard work. :) | 14:56 |
| bobweaver | Ok I have a major problem qemu will not launch in 12.04 | 14:56 |
| bobweaver | qemulauncher is not working neither is it from the command line | 14:57 |
| ironm | slipttees, my brain seems to be dead as I don't find the right link (maybe I need some glasses ;) | 14:57 |
| astraljava | bobweaver: Launch it in terminal, file a bug and include the output. | 14:58 |
| MCR | astraljava: I want to apologize for my 10 points officially :) | 14:58 |
| astraljava | MCR: No no, that's not what I meant. :) | 14:58 |
| astraljava | Just nagging about people not responding in a matter of minutes after all that effort... not cool. :) | 14:58 |
| bobweaver | astraljava, I am on it thanks ! | 14:59 |
| astraljava | ironm: For me, the 'Report a bug' link is there on your right hand upper corner. | 15:00 |
| slipttees | i need configure my keyboard layout to thinkpad t60. | 15:00 |
| slipttees | how can help? | 15:00 |
| astraljava | ironm: A little down from your login info. | 15:00 |
| astraljava | !patience | slipttees | 15:00 |
| ubottu | slipttees: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 15:00 |
| ironm | astraljava, it is only a long help page without the right link | 15:01 |
| astraljava | ironm: Not like this? http://astraljava.kapsi.fi/bugpage.png | 15:02 |
| ironm | astraljava, I would like simply an issue for ubuntu server 12.04 beta *but* can't find the entry point | 15:02 |
| astraljava | ironm: What's the problem specifically? It's likely you won't want to file the bug against the whole image, but rather a package in it. | 15:02 |
| ironm | astraljava, yes .. I am already there .. | 15:02 |
| astraljava | ironm: Well, you can see, in the upper right corner, a little down from my name and nick 'Janne Jokitalo (astraljava)' and the log out button, there's the link for 'Report a bug'. | 15:03 |
| astraljava | ironm: Does it not look the same for you? | 15:04 |
| ironm | it is an install issue astraljava .. "Missing Firmware Files phanfw.bin and nx3fwct.bin" when installing 12.04 on HP DL 385g7 with an additional network card (NX chip set) | 15:04 |
| astraljava | ironm: Ok, then the bug should be filed against some linux firmware package. | 15:04 |
| ironm | astraljava, I see it .. but where can I start a new bug ? | 15:04 |
| astraljava | ironm: Let me find the correct package, hold on. | 15:04 |
| ironm | thanks a lot astraljava :) | 15:04 |
| astraljava | ironm: Go here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+filebug | 15:05 |
| ironm | thanks a lot astraljava | 15:06 |
| astraljava | No worries, thanks for helping improve Ubuntu. :) | 15:06 |
| ironm | astraljava, may I ask where have you found this link? (on this page ... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=precise) | 15:07 |
| astraljava | ironm: No, I went to the LP front page, searched for linux firmware, and chose the source package from the hits. | 15:08 |
| ironm | OK .. thanks again. it would be helpful if there would be a link like "file new bug" | 15:10 |
| astraljava | ironm: Well, the link is there, but you have to do a little research before you can find it. Which makes sense, because just blindly filing bugs against wrong packages etc. makes the triagers' work much harder. | 15:11 |
| rmrfslash | can someone paste their apt/sources.list file, I just deleted mine accidentally | 15:11 |
| astraljava | ironm: If you are interested in bug work, I suggest you join the #ubuntu-bugs channel, and ask for guidance there. | 15:11 |
| roasted | Hello! I noticed in 12.04 on this particular laptop, if I hold the super key, I never get the shortcut menu. Also, if I hit SUPER + A (to open the applications lens by default) it does nothing. Has anybody seen any weirdness like this? | 15:14 |
| ironm | astraljava, I have just opened an issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/969304 | 15:14 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 969304 in linux-firmware (Ubuntu) "Regression: Missing Firmware Files phanfw.bin and nx3fwct.bin (precise 12.04 beta)" [Undecided,New] | 15:14 |
| astraljava | rmrfslash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/907346/, please ignore the spotify repository in the end if you don't intend to use it. | 15:15 |
| ironm | astraljava, I hope there is enough info inside ... | 15:15 |
| astraljava | ironm: That's good, thanks. The triagers will ask for additional info if that is required in order to fix the problem. | 15:15 |
| MCR | oh, a libwebkitgtk upgrade :) <- maybe this fixes smtube - we'll see | 15:16 |
| ironm | great .. thank you very much for your kindly support and patience astraljava | 15:16 |
| E3D3 | ? | 15:16 |
| astraljava | ironm: Oh, no problem. We're all in this together. :) | 15:16 |
| rmrfslash | astraljava: thanks | 15:17 |
| astraljava | rmrfslash: You're welcome. | 15:17 |
| glosoli | is there any way to restart Unity Panel without logout or reboot ? | 15:18 |
| astraljava | MCR: What was it about UFO:AI that you spoke about the other day? | 15:18 |
| rmrfslash | astraljava: Do you know how I can correct these warnings http://pastebin.com/1VB4fNS9 (I've run apt-get update a number of times, I still get these warnings) | 15:18 |
| ironm | are there some plans to include MariaDB packages for ubuntu server Precise 12.04 ? | 15:18 |
| ironm | in the tasksel menu there is only postgresql | 15:19 |
| jsebean | Hey folks, I have ubuntu 12.04 beta 2 installed (64bit). I am trying to get OpenJDK running. I can't find OpenJDK in my software centre so I tried the command sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre and it installed, however, when i try to run minecraft openjdk doesnt appear int he open with | 15:19 |
| MCR | astraljava: we branched 2.4 and are in the test-phase for the release: www.ufoai.org/news | 15:19 |
| astraljava | MCR: Oh, right. Okay, I'll do some test-playing over the weekend, then. Thanks! | 15:19 |
| MCR | astraljava: You're welcome. | 15:20 |
| astraljava | rmrfslash: It's likely that some duplicate files are left in /var/lib/apt/lists/ directory. | 15:20 |
| astraljava | rmrfslash: It should be safe to delete them all, and then run `sudo apt-get update` again. | 15:20 |
| anadon | Hey, dd is putting out corrupted data when copying .iso's to USB devices | 15:21 |
| jsebean | I can run it by using command java -Xmx1024M -Xms32M -Xincgc -jar '/home/jbean/minecraft.jar' but how to I get java to show up in openwith so I can set it as default? | 15:21 |
| jsebean | OpenJDK that is. | 15:21 |
| anadon | O-minecraft has a bug right now that they have to fix. This isn't a Ubuntu issue. | 15:22 |
| anadon | I have the same problem. | 15:22 |
| jsebean | anadon: you talking to me? | 15:22 |
| jsebean | anadon: or someone else? | 15:22 |
| anadon | jsbean: yes | 15:22 |
| jsebean | anadon: this isnt a minecraft issue | 15:23 |
| anadon | O, sorry... | 15:23 |
| jsebean | anadon: it's an openjdk issue | 15:23 |
| anadon | jsbean: openJDK is masked I think by icedtea web start. | 15:23 |
| jsebean | OpenJDK isn;t listed in the software centre nor will it show up in open with for when I try to open .jar files (such as minecraft) | 15:24 |
| anadon | jsbean: I have the same thing, but I just created a minecraft launcher and use that. | 15:24 |
| anadon | nautilus should have a setting to modify that menue. Did you try poking around in there? | 15:24 |
| jsebean | I don't know if it's because I'm using 64bit now or if it's something else, since this is my first time using 64bit ubuntu, 12.04 beta | 15:24 |
| anadon | na, it's the distro. It's a small bug. | 15:25 |
| jsebean | anadon: jsebean not jsbean im not getting beep | 15:25 |
| anadon | sorry... | 15:25 |
| jsebean | anadon: it's a bug in the beta? | 15:25 |
| jsebean | anadon: of ubuntu 12.04 so will be fixed in final release? | 15:25 |
| anadon | technically. | 15:25 |
| anadon | Should be, but it needs to be reported.. | 15:25 |
| astraljava | jsebean: Do not assume it'll be fixed without filing a bug about it. | 15:26 |
| jsebean | astraljava: where do I report it? | 15:26 |
| anadon | launchpad | 15:26 |
| anadon | jsebean: launchpad | 15:26 |
| astraljava | jsebean: Ubuntu uses https://launchpad.net for bug management. | 15:26 |
| genii-around | jsebean: Does update-alternatives --list java show proper java version? | 15:26 |
| rmrfslash | astraljava: I completely moved that directory to lists.old, ran apt-get update and received the same warnings... hrmmmm | 15:27 |
| anadon | genii-around: no, it doesn't appear in that either. I have the same issue, but have been ignoring it. | 15:27 |
| jsebean | genii-around: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java | 15:27 |
| genii-around | jsebean: Yeah, that looks fine | 15:28 |
| jsebean | genii-around: then must be a bug ill go report | 15:28 |
| astraljava | rmrfslash: Is it possible you made a mistake in copying the /etc/apt/sources.list from the pastebin? Please pastebin it again (you can install pastebinit package to ease the process if you like, then just run `pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list` and link to it here. | 15:28 |
| astraljava | Ehh... closing bracket missing... whatever. I've had some sparkling. :) | 15:28 |
| anadon | anyways, can someone help me with figuing out why dd is giving corrupted output? | 15:29 |
| astraljava | anadon: What gives you reason to believe it does? | 15:29 |
| rmrfslash | astraljava: http://paste.ubuntu.com/907384/ | 15:29 |
| anadon | astraljava: because I've tested it with several images on 4 different devices, and they're all corrupt despite multiple and re-downloaded .ios's | 15:30 |
| astraljava | rmrfslash: Ok, I'm stumped. Maybe someone else knows, sorry I can't help with you further. | 15:30 |
| astraljava | anadon: And have you md5sum'ed the .iso's? | 15:31 |
| anadon | torrented, so transmission checked a few, I haven't done the others. | 15:32 |
| anadon | astraljava: torrented, so transmission checked a few, I haven't done the others. | 15:33 |
| astraljava | anadon: Ok, I wouldn't know whether there could be problems with the P2P network software. I suggest you file a bug about it, and help triaging the issue. | 15:33 |
| ironm | are there some plans to include MariaDB packages for ubuntu server Precise 12.04 ? .. deb http://mirrors.fe.up.pt/pub/mariadb/repo/5.3/ubuntu oneiric main | 15:33 |
| astraljava | anadon: Wait, what is the procedure that you're using? | 15:35 |
| astraljava | anadon: I mean, trying to utilize the images. | 15:35 |
| rmrfslash | astraljava: well, I don't know if this makes sense but, I removed a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oneiric-partner.list which contained the single line "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner #Added by software-center" which also happens to be in /etc/apt/sources.list. Ran a apt-get update and the warnings are no longer present. | 15:35 |
| bobweaver | I am also haveint troubles with ubuntu software center this is what I get when I launch it http://imagebin.org/206009 | 15:36 |
| bobweaver | having * | 15:36 |
| rmrfslash | astraljava: and by "I don't know if this makes sense" I mean, I hope this doesn't break anything | 15:36 |
| astraljava | rmrfslash: Of course, that was for oneiric. You can't really have two releases at the same time. :) | 15:36 |
| rmrfslash | astraljava: yes,but the contents of that file referred to a "precise" repository | 15:36 |
| rmrfslash | astraljava: which I found odd | 15:37 |
| astraljava | rmrfslash: Right, ok. But it still explains the duplicate warning. | 15:37 |
| astraljava | rmrfslash: I don't know anything about Software Center, so can't explain why it was there. | 15:38 |
| rmrfslash | astraljava: I suppose I'm not really sure why there are these little files and a sources.list | 15:38 |
| astraljava | rmrfslash: It's in constant stage of progress, so I'm not sure either. | 15:38 |
| rmrfslash | astraljava: yeah, it seems to me that the contents of these files can be thought of as an extension of sources.list | 15:39 |
| roasted | Anybody using Unity in 12.04? Does your Super + A key combo work? | 15:40 |
| astraljava | rmrfslash: Yeah, they help in unison with /etc/apt/sources.list, but I'm not sure which tool uses which file. | 15:42 |
| ratcheer | roasted: What is it supposed to do? | 15:42 |
| roasted | ratcheer: you know when you open the dash and select the applications lens at the bottom? Super A defaults to that lens. | 15:42 |
| rmrfslash | roasted: if I hold down the super key I just get the launcher with each icon enumerted, if I press super+a or super+shift+a I get nothing special... just recognizes that I'm holding down the super key | 15:42 |
| ratcheer | roasted: Ok, I'll try it and let you know. | 15:43 |
| roasted | rmrfslash: so weird. yesterday it worked great, today, no dice. | 15:43 |
| rmrfslash | roasted: what's it supposed to do? | 15:43 |
| roasted | rmrfslash: ratcheer: do you guys get a shortcut menu if you hold down the super key for a few seconds? | 15:43 |
| ratcheer | roasted: Yes, it works. | 15:43 |
| rmrfslash | oh, I don't get any shortcut menu | 15:43 |
| roasted | ratcheer: what does, shortcut menu or super A? | 15:43 |
| ratcheer | roasted: Super A. You asked the other question while I was doing that. | 15:44 |
| roasted | ratcheer: drat. wonder why mine doesn't work. | 15:44 |
| roasted | ratcheer: my desktop and laptop do but this netbook doe snot | 15:44 |
| roasted | does not | 15:44 |
| ratcheer | Yes, I get keyboard shortcuts if I hold Super | 15:44 |
| roasted | gahhhh | 15:45 |
| roasted | where did mine gooo :( | 15:45 |
| ratcheer | That is cool, where did you learn this stuff? | 15:45 |
| roasted | I hated the fact that my unity dash doesn't default to apps. I mean, I don't care about recent items. I want my apps. I asked on askubuntu.com and someone told me super A would do that. | 15:46 |
| roasted | I remembered there was a shortcut menu and go figure the shortcut menu told me right there about super A. I just didn't look ahead of time. | 15:46 |
| roasted | problem is, I somehow lost them on this laptop. :( | 15:46 |
| roasted | I did a full update + upgrade, rebooted, no dice | 15:47 |

| rmrfslash | roasted: I described what I get... when I hold down super my launcher is revealed and each icon has a little number over it 1-N, the workspaces icon has a "s" and trash has a "t" | 15:59 |
| rmrfslash | roasted: I'm not really sure what is the utility of that feature... but that's what I get | 16:00 |

| MarcoGuest | I'd just tested the latest 12.04 beta and saw that maximized apps no longer hide the dash. Is there a way to re-enable the old behaviour for maximized apps to hide the dash? | 16:16 |
| itaylor57 | MarcoGuest, look in System -> apperance | 16:17 |
| itaylor57 | behaviour | 16:17 |
| itaylor57 | system settings _> apperance | 16:17 |
| chmac | There was a setting in ccsm where moving my mouse onto a new window would cause it to become active. I just ran some upgrade, now I can't find it... | 16:18 |
| MarcoGuest | itaylor57: There's the autohide option. But (at least in unit2d) it simply automatically hides the dash, the behaviour is not the same that was in 11.10 | 16:18 |
| itaylor57 | i am running 3d not sure what 2d has | 16:18 |
| trism | MarcoGuest: the dodge behavior was removed, it either autohides now or is there always | 16:19 |
| MarcoGuest | itaylor57: Does the autohide option re-enables the old behaviour for maximized apps? | 16:19 |
| itaylor57 | MarcoGuest, what trism said | 16:20 |
| MarcoGuest | trism: hmmm... I'd love to have the option to only hide if there is a maximized app | 16:20 |
| MarcoGuest | than maximize would be the same as fullscreen | 16:20 |

| jeremydei | for me the packages are all broken (deps) | 16:55 |
| bazhang | jeremydei, filed bugs yet? | 16:59 |
| trism | jeremydei: did you try ruby1.9.3? just ruby1.9 tries to select a bunch of packages by regex | 16:59 |
| jeremydei | ahh | 16:59 |
| jeremydei | lemme try the real thing then | 16:59 |
| jeremydei | no bugs filed yet no, but i did search for bugs | 16:59 |
| triscuit | I noticed python 2.7 was listening on like 8 ports today, that was part of a 12.04 update | 17:01 |
| triscuit | right? | 17:01 |
| dash | hey. so i'm using precise and it seems like the menus in all my gtk3 apps are busted | 17:04 |
| dash | in rhythmbox for example, if I click on a menu title the menu either doesn't appear or tries to draw itself as a 3 pixel high thing in the top left corner of my screen | 17:05 |
| dash | and i'll occasionally get stuff like: | 17:06 |
| dash | (rhythmbox:4674): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_width_for_height: assertion `height >= 0' failed | 17:06 |
| dash | i don't have appmenu-gtk3 installed, $UBUNTU_MENUPROXY is not set | 17:07 |
| dash | anybody else seen this? | 17:07 |
| roasted | hello! | 17:11 |
| sddhrthrt | dash: yes! | 17:13 |
| sddhrthrt | dash: happened. but didn't investigated! | 17:13 |
| sddhrthrt | *investigate | 17:13 |
| dash | sddhrthrt: now we just need to find someone who knows why it happens :) | 17:14 |
| roasted | :( | 17:14 |
| tegra | i want precise with kernel 3.2.13 | 17:14 |
| tegra | i need to compile only ? | 17:15 |
| sddhrthrt | dash: haha. no, i left ubuntu 12.04 long ago. had upgraded from 10.04, ruined the whole setup! | 17:15 |
| trism | tegra: 3.2.0-21.34 is 3.2.13 | 17:19 |
| trism | tegra: plus ubuntu patches of course | 17:19 |
| dash | sddhrthrt: so what do you use now? 12.10? :) | 17:19 |
| sddhrthrt | no, LTS! 10.04 | 17:19 |

| jeremydei | trism, sweet, thanks for the tip on ruby1.9.3 works great. the ruby1.9 regex thing was really weird, there's so much output that i didn't realize it was just a regex.. | 17:23 |
| maxb | "resolvconf is now used to manage /etc/resolv.conf on all Ubuntu systems. For systems using Network Manager DNS resolution is now done through dnsmasq, which should help split-DNS VPNs and faster DNS resolution." --- *blink* Wow. That's major, but rather nice. | 17:24 |
| jeremydei | trism, do you happen to know anything about the rubygems? appears it's still 1.8 related, would i need to install from source instead of a package? (sometimes i try to get by with the system's rubygems) | 17:25 |
| oconnore | after the update yesterday, lightdm flashes on and off forever | 17:27 |
| jeremydei | gah, nevermind it's included in the ruby1.9.3 package i think | 17:27 |
| oconnore | lightdm starts up, and works fine until I click my mouse or press a key on the keyboard | 17:28 |
| roasted | hello friends! | 17:29 |
| trism | oconnore: might be bug 967343 , I was getting that yesterday | 17:35 |

| ironm | hello. does anyone know if the current ubuntu live image (precise) would boot from a USB stick on "old" PowerPC based MACmini? Thank you in advance for any hints. | 17:35 |
| trism | oconnore: as a workaround, if you can manage to stop lightdm from a tty, you could install lightdm-gtk-greeter and change unity-greeter to lightdm-gtk-greeter in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf until unity-greeter is fixed | 17:37 |

| roasted | Attention Unity Friends - Can you guys hold down the super key? What happens? Do you get a shortcut menu or does your bar come out with each item numbered? | 17:48 |
| glosoli | yes | 17:49 |
| glosoli | I get both | 17:50 |
| roasted | er, what? | 17:50 |
| roasted | I don't have a shortcut menu. I seemed to have lost a great deal of my shortcuts. | 17:51 |

| glosoli | both | 17:51 |
| roasted | glosoli: have you updated recently? | 17:51 |
| glosoli | yep | 17:51 |
| trism | tegra: -21 was uploaded about 20 hours ago, they probably haven't updated linux-meta yet | 17:51 |

| roasted | maybe I'll try again... | 17:51 |
| roasted | glosoli: what did you run specifically to update? I just want to make sure I'm mimicing what you did since you're having more success than I | 17:52 |
| roasted | sudo apt-get upgrade? | 17:52 |
| tegra | trism, how can i update ? | 17:52 |
| glosoli | roasted: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 17:52 |
| roasted | ah I didn't do dist-upgrade | 17:52 |
| roasted | let me try | 17:52 |
| roasted | appreciate it sir! | 17:52 |
| glosoli | but be warned | 17:52 |
| glosoli | dist-upgrade may try to remove some important stuff | 17:53 |
| glosoli | so watch out all the messages it says | 17:53 |
| tegra | i did apt-get dist-upgrade | 17:53 |
| tegra | but kernel not update. | 17:53 |
| trism | tegra: as I said, linux-meta doesn't seem to be updated yet, but the new kernel is in the repo if you just can't wait and want to install it now | 17:53 |
| roasted | glosoli: you on 3.2.0-20? | 17:54 |
| glosoli | roasted: yes | 17:54 |
| tegra | ok trism | 17:54 |
| trism | tegra: in fact, it was updated 2 hours ago, so give the repositories a bit of time, it should be there later today | 17:55 |
| mongo | is there a project to get ubuntu's app armor ported to the mainline kernel version? | 18:00 |
| bastidrazor | mongo: app armor does fail when using 3.3.. | 18:02 |
| mongo | bastidrazor: yes, it appears the ubuntu patches revert back to an oder app armmor type | 18:03 |
| tegra | ok trism, i changed to US server. | 18:08 |
| mongo | I need to use a mainline as there is an alsa bug in 3.2.0 that was fixed in 3.2.2 but I don't want to lose aa | 18:08 |

| sorin_ | finish next mounth? | 18:10 |
| roasted | updated, upgraded, dist-upgraded, still no super key shortcuts. | 18:10 |

| trism | tegra: yeah should be there on the us server now, I see it on my desktop which just updated | 18:11 |
| trism | mongo: you can't really go by the ubuntu versions, 3.2.0-21 is 3.2.13 (you can see in the changelog when the rebase the kernel to the new releases) | 18:12 |
| tegra | there is a problem with knetattach | 18:12 |

| rodd | Hi, how can I upgrade to 12.04 from 10.04? | 18:13 |
| rodd | the beta version | 18:13 |
| mongo | trism: 3.2.0-21 still has the 3.2.0 alsa bugs with sandy bridge laptops and multi channel audio | 18:13 |
| mongo | trism: i'm asking because I have been working with sid and it aa is fine, if there was a project to try and get off the aa special sauce I would see if anything i've done would be of use | 18:14 |
| mongo | but i'm not finding a link to anything on launchpad | 18:15 |
| trism | mongo: I'm just saying that if the bug was fixed upstream in 3.2.2, then that patch should be in the ubuntu kernels already, and if it still isn't working you should file a bug on launchpad about that | 18:16 |
| roasted | why does my super key hate me :( | 18:16 |

| trism | mongo: do you know which patch fixed it upstream? | 18:18 |
| trism | mongo: I have no idea about the apparmor issue, I am just curious about the alsa bug | 18:19 |
| mongo | trism: I'll have to go look, it was in the commit notes though, it relates to multi channel audio, e.g. laptops like the HP with "beets audio" | 18:19 |

| trism | mongo: I don't really disagree, I just don't know anything about it | 18:22 |
| mongo | trism: I have the feeling it is just because someone needs to go back and clean up a lot of little things, I'll send a note to the kernel team and offer I guess | 18:22 |

| danpsy | After installing recent updates inside of 12.04, xorg isn't working anymore. I imagine the problem ix xorg, because if I run "startx", "Fatal server error: no screens found" is returned. I tried to reinstall xorg, but it still doesn't seem to work. I think the next step should be removing proprietary nvidia driver, how could I do that? | 19:00 |
| Mart1n_ | Hi, does ubuntu 12.04 will have 3d support enabled by default in nouveau drivers? | 19:01 |
| Mart1n_ | I think the name of that technology is mesa 3d | 19:03 |
| EvilResistance | Mart1n_: that's dependent on whether a linux driver has been released with that technology | 19:04 |
| Mart1n_ | as I have red the technology exist, you can install manually | 19:05 |
| Mart1n_ | there are comparisons of performance of nouveau with 3d vs nvidia propietary driver | 19:05 |

| glosoli | aaaa | 20:54 |
| glosoli | outdated then really | 20:54 |
| glosoli | sorry FernandoMiguel | 20:54 |
| glosoli | my mistake :) | 20:54 |
| yofel | outdated? how fast do they burn their version numbers? | 20:54 |
| yofel | oneiric shipped with 14 | 20:54 |
| FernandoMiguel | ahaha | 20:54 |
| glosoli | every month | 20:54 |
| FernandoMiguel | every six weeks | 20:54 |
| glosoli | a release | 20:54 |
| glosoli | same does Firefox now | 20:54 |
| glosoli | :) | 20:54 |

| glosoli | FernandoMiguel: alpha ? | 20:55 |
| yofel | FernandoMiguel: where's that from? | 20:55 |

| FernandoMiguel | 500 mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt/ precise/main amd64 Packages | 20:55 |
| FernandoMiguel | glosoli: aurora, PPA | 20:55 |
| yofel | ah | 20:55 |
| glosoli | FernandoMiguel: aaa gonna check that, alpha would be better for me as it has Speed Dial :) | 20:55 |
| FernandoMiguel | $ pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list | 20:55 |
| FernandoMiguel | http://paste.ubuntu.com/907840/ | 20:55 |
| FernandoMiguel | glosoli: don't call it alpha or beta | 20:56 |
| FernandoMiguel | it's neither | 20:56 |
| FernandoMiguel | you have trunk (nightly), alpha, aurora, beta, stable, lts | 20:56 |
| FernandoMiguel | while chrome has trunk(nightly), dev, beta, stable, outdated(unsupported) | 20:57 |
| glosoli | FernandoMiguel: so Aurora is likely something between alpha-beta ? | 20:57 |
| FernandoMiguel | yes | 20:57 |
| glosoli | FernandoMiguel: so you use it now ? | 20:57 |
| FernandoMiguel | it's my secondary browser | 20:58 |
| FernandoMiguel | on all my machines | 20:58 |
| glosoli | FernandoMiguel: hmm, but it always updates only to Aurora ? | 20:58 |
| glosoli | FernandoMiguel: if there will be bugs that will be fixed in beta, it wouldn't be fixed in aurora ? | 20:58 |
| qrwteyrutiyoup | how can I find out which patches were applied over a vanilla kernel in the default 12.04 kernel? | 20:59 |
| FernandoMiguel | qrwteyrutiyoup: by looking at .patches ? | 20:59 |
| MrChrisDruif | Banshee doesn't play any songs anymore | 20:59 |

| qrwteyrutiyoup | do you have the link handy, FernandoMiguel? | 20:59 |
| FernandoMiguel | no, sorry | 20:59 |

| guntbert | FernandoCueva: don't post random links in a support channel | 21:16 |
| glosoli | :DDD | 21:17 |
| yofel | lol | 21:17 |
| glosoli | I better keep my mouth silent :D | 21:20 |
| bodhi_me | it's wise in china | 21:21 |
| yofel | well, he's used to times when this channel wasn't as busy as it is these days | 21:21 |
| glosoli | yofel: and it's good it is getting more attention, when 12.04 lts will be out I will start asking my parents to switch their computer to 12.04 | 21:22 |
| yofel | agreed | 21:23 |
| bodhi_me | switch? i will install 12.04 into another ufd | 21:23 |
| graingert | where can I get more people to look at this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/966058 | 21:23 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 966058 in openssl (Ubuntu) "SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unsupported protocol" [Undecided,New] | 21:23 |
| graingert | people who know about python and ssl? | 21:23 |
| bodhi_me | not me | 21:24 |
| glosoli | bodhi_me: switch I mean from Windows to Ubuntu :) | 21:24 |
| glosoli | Marks new decisions changed my mind :) | 21:24 |
| glosoli | my parents will get a try this time, it's a pity of them calling me from time to time for viruses and bla bla :D | 21:25 |
| bodhi_me | come on, who the hell is still using windows? people use ios and macos nowadays | 21:25 |
| glosoli | bodhi_me: well when macbooks in my country makes the price of three times your month salary, not a lot of people think of buying one :) | 21:26 |
| glosoli | even though I am sure it would play good with Ubuntu :) | 21:26 |
| bodhi_me | you can see a truck of macbooks and ipads in a cybercafe | 21:26 |
| glosoli | emm? | 21:26 |
| yofel | now, if someone would fix the driver for my dads canon printer I would be able to do the same | 21:26 |
| bodhi_me | at least, in here | 21:26 |
| glosoli | yofel: haha know that feeling :) and it would be good thing for me too, as I would not have to worry about them breaking something, will not give password and that's all :D | 21:27 |
| FernandoCueva | guntbert, me what posting links? | 21:28 |
| yofel | glosoli: exactly ;) | 21:28 |
| glosoli | FernandoCueva: not you he mistakenly pressed tab for guy named FernandoMiguel | 21:28 |
| glosoli | :D | 21:28 |
| yofel | he knows a bit about computers at least so it's not that bad for me | 21:28 |
| glosoli | FernandoCueva: which got kicked for pasting links | 21:28 |
| FernandoCueva | lies he pm me | 21:28 |
| guntbert | FernandoCueva: sorry, I mistabbed, that was not intended for you - i should read more carefully what I write :) | 21:28 |
| FernandoCueva | grrr | 21:29 |
| glosoli | guntbert: you got busted | 21:29 |
| glosoli | :D | 21:29 |
| nabukadnezar43 | hi, i intend to install precise daily on my laptop which has nvidia optimus technology | 21:36 |
| glosoli | ouh | 21:36 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i don't need the nvidia card or the proprietary drivers | 21:36 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i just want a cool laptop with long battery life | 21:37 |
| nabukadnezar43 | what is the best option? | 21:37 |
| glosoli | nabukadnezar43: is there any way to disable nVidia from bios | 21:37 |
| glosoli | ? | 21:37 |
| nabukadnezar43 | cool as in heat :) | 21:37 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i checked but it has no options in the bios | 21:37 |
| nabukadnezar43 | it's dell n5110 15r with i5 2410m | 21:37 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i read this post at askubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/96552/how-well-will-nvidia-optimus-cards-be-supported-in-12-04 | 21:38 |
| nabukadnezar43 | the answerer wrote this: "If your system has a hardware mux - so both the nVidia and Intel GPUs are connected to the outputs - and vga_swicheroo works, you can use that interface to switch between them, but only if you're using the open-source drivers. For 12.04 we plan to ensure that the unused GPU is turned off in this case, which should improve battery life." | 21:38 |
| glosoli | nabukadnezar43: sorry I don't own Optimus card, you might try reading about something called Bumblebee for Linux | 21:39 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i heard about all options, bumblebbe, ironhide, acpi_call, vga_switcheroo etc. | 21:40 |
| nabukadnezar43 | but that answer confused me | 21:40 |
| nabukadnezar43 | if 12.04 has built-in support to disable nvidia card for long battery life, i don't need to do anything | 21:40 |
| glosoli | nabukadnezar43: sorry you would have to wait a bit for someone who has knowledge on that topic :/ | 21:43 |
| nabukadnezar43 | sure, no problem | 21:44 |
| rymate1234 | hey | 21:51 |
| rymate1234 | is Beta 2 stable? | 21:51 |
| rymate1234 | (ish) | 21:51 |
| Logan_ | rymate1234: Yes. I've been running Precise since Alpha 2, and it's been generally very stable for me. | 21:52 |
| rymate1234 | ah cool | 21:52 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i used beta 1 for a while, it was pretty stable | 21:52 |
| rymate1234 | I might try the beta then | 21:52 |
| rymate1234 | :) | 21:52 |
| Logan_ | rymate1234: Might as well download the daily build so it has all of the latest updates. | 21:52 |
| rymate1234 | meh | 21:52 |
| rymate1234 | I just got the beta 2 iso | 21:52 |
| rymate1234 | XD | 21:52 |
| Logan_ | Ah, okay. | 21:53 |
| * rymate1234 burns it onto a dvd-rw | 21:53 | |
| rymate1234 | actually no | 21:53 |
| nabukadnezar43 | waste of GBs | 21:53 |
| nabukadnezar43 | use a cd or a usb | 21:54 |
| nabukadnezar43 | :) | 21:54 |
| * rymate1234 found a cd! | 21:54 | |
| rymate1234 | I don't think my laptop can boot from USB | 21:54 |
| rymate1234 | I can try though | 21:54 |
| nabukadnezar43 | any decent pc can do that | 21:54 |
| roasted | hello! | 21:55 |
| nabukadnezar43 | and installation from a usb stick is much faster | 21:55 |
| nabukadnezar43 | hello roasted | 21:56 |
| roasted | hello | 21:56 |
| roasted | yes installing from usb is crazy awesome | 21:56 |
| roasted | ubuntu 12.04 installed from usb onto a sata3 SSD in about 5 minutes and 30 seconds | 21:56 |
| nabukadnezar43 | sata3 ssd in my dreams :) | 21:57 |
| roasted | we got a lab of them at work | 21:57 |
| bodhi_me | a ssd is too big for me | 21:57 |
| roasted | our macs died, go figure | 21:57 |
| roasted | lol | 21:57 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i actually have a pretty fast pc | 21:57 |
| nabukadnezar43 | hdd is the bottleneck | 21:57 |
| nabukadnezar43 | 7200 rpm sata2 | 21:57 |
| roasted | yeah, definitely | 21:57 |
| roasted | yeah it's the hdd, not even sata2 | 21:57 |
| * rymate1234 backups this USB | 21:57 | |
| * rymate1234 formats | 21:57 | |
| roasted | sata drives can't saturate sata2 ports | 21:57 |
| bastidrazor | roasted: super a and super f do nothing in unity2d for me | 21:58 |
| roasted | bastidrazor, oh, thanks bro. appreciate it. :D | 21:58 |
| roasted | I'm surprised you remembered I asked, lol. | 21:58 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i heard that ssds have short lives | 21:58 |
| rymate1234 | so what's this HUD like? | 21:58 |
| nabukadnezar43 | is it a myth? | 21:58 |
| roasted | pretty much | 21:58 |
| bastidrazor | roasted: super brings up unity for me. i have mine to autohide but i have terminal open and fullscreened | 21:59 |
| roasted | ssd's have a life span that'll likely far outlast even regular hard drives | 21:59 |
| roasted | limited life span? very likely. enough that it'll make a difference vs regular hard drives? nope. | 21:59 |
| bastidrazor | roasted: irssi can help one remember almost anything. | 21:59 |
| roasted | bastidrazor, it's a bummer. 2d is nicer on my laptop but I really like super A | 21:59 |
| bastidrazor | roasted: what is it suppose to do? | 21:59 |
| roasted | bastidrazor, honestly I wish my dash lens came up with the entire apps listed by default | 22:00 |
| nabukadnezar43 | then i may buy one | 22:00 |
| roasted | bastidrazor, can you run 3d? or does 3d not work whatsoever? | 22:00 |
| roasted | bastidrazor, you can check it out in 3d. it just opens the aplications lens by default. | 22:00 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i may even upgrade my phenom ii x4 965 | 22:00 |
| roasted | bastidrazor, like if you open the dash, theres 5 lenses at the bottom. the 2nd one is the applications lens. SUPER A opens that (awesome) and SUPER F opens files | 22:00 |
| roasted | bastidrazor, I kind of like the recent items in the main list. IT's growing on me. But I'm a recovering Gnome Shell fan so having all of the apps listed is a nice touch which I like with Super A, as it shows me them without further clicking around. | 22:01 |
| rymate1234 | Gnome shell ftw | 22:01 |
| rymate1234 | Unity ftw | 22:01 |
| nabukadnezar43 | what's super a, super f? | 22:01 |
| roasted | gnome shell is flippin beautiful | 22:01 |
| nabukadnezar43 | windows button+a and f? | 22:01 |
| roasted | nabukadnezar43, super = "windows key" | 22:01 |
| roasted | yeup | 22:01 |
| roasted | yep | 22:01 |
| rymate1234 | anything but windows metro is good | 22:02 |
| roasted | rymate1234, unity in 12.04 is drawing me away from gnome shell, though. | 22:02 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i hate the shell and unity, thanks god we have plenty options | 22:02 |
| rymate1234 | OoOOOOOooooOOOoooooo | 22:02 |
| roasted | rymate1234, the more I use it, the more it clicks with me. It's weird because I've passionately hated unity since day 1. | 22:02 |
| roasted | nabukadnezar43, amen. Doesn't matter if you like light beer or dark beer. At least you're in the right place. :) | 22:02 |
| roasted | cheers! :D | 22:02 |
| rymate1234 | right | 22:03 |
| rymate1234 | once this usb is done | 22:03 |
| rymate1234 | I'll reboot laptop | 22:03 |
| rymate1234 | :D | 22:04 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i tried metro ui | 22:04 |
| roasted | metro is really nice, but it's terrible on a computer | 22:04 |
| rymate1234 | eh | 22:04 |
| nabukadnezar43 | if i had a tablet, i'd definitely consider it | 22:04 |
| rymate1234 | ^ | 22:04 |
| roasted | yeah, amen | 22:04 |
| rymate1234 | I found a program called ViStart | 22:04 |
| roasted | I actually think it's very nice and intuitive. I just don't need an email icon thats 800x600 in size. | 22:04 |
| roasted | I just don't. | 22:04 |
| rymate1234 | its a clone of the windows 7 start menu | 22:04 |
| rymate1234 | right | 22:04 |
| rymate1234 | usb is prepared | 22:04 |
| rymate1234 | I SHALL BBL | 22:05 |
| roasted | Phone? Small tablet? Absolutely. | 22:05 |
| glosoli | nabukadnezar43: any help you got so far :/ ? | 22:06 |
| nabukadnezar43 | no | 22:08 |
| rymate1234|usb | hey | 22:10 |
| rymate1234|usb | well | 22:10 |
| rymate1234|usb | this is the worst irc client ever | 22:11 |
| glosoli | nabukadnezar43: have you trying asking in askubuntu ? | 22:11 |
| rymate1234|usb | but oh my gawd this is quicker than a live cd | 22:11 |
| * rymate1234|usb installs | 22:11 | |
| nabukadnezar43 | no, i don't really like forums and those kind of sites | 22:12 |
| nabukadnezar43 | but i may try asking there | 22:12 |
| nabukadnezar43 | thanks | 22:12 |
| glosoli | Anyone here using NVIDIA OPTIMUS ? | 22:12 |
| rymate1234|usb | hey | 22:12 |
| remaster | hello how much stable is 12.04 b2 ? | 22:15 |
| remaster | i want to try it! | 22:15 |
| rymate1234|usb | seems quite stable | 22:16 |
| jinjorge | remaster:stable | 22:16 |
| rymate1234|usb | currently trying to figure out which of these partitions is my /home | 22:16 |
| remaster | well i'm user of ubuntu 11.04 but i have | 22:16 |
| rymate1234|usb | and which is my / | 22:16 |
| remaster | graphic errors | 22:16 |
| jinjorge | been running 12.04 since the alpha release on my work computer | 22:16 |
| remaster | when i use a custom theme... a little time before my pc crash... | 22:17 |
| jinjorge | each iteration gets better and better | 22:17 |
| remaster | and another question | 22:17 |
| rymate1234|usb | this is very quick of a usb stick | 22:18 |
| remaster | i have i5 processor | 22:18 |
| remaster | wich version i use? | 22:18 |
| rymate1234|usb | v. good processor | 22:18 |
| rymate1234|usb | erm | 22:18 |
| rymate1234|usb | how much ram do you have | 22:18 |
| remaster | 4gb | 22:18 |
| remaster | ddr3 | 22:18 |
| bodhi_me | come on, who the hell doesn't have 16gb of ram? | 22:18 |
| * rymate1234|usb raises hand slowly | 22:19 | |
| jinjorge | ha ha, me | 22:19 |
| jinjorge | what do you need 16GB of RAM for? | 22:19 |
| remaster | video editor or graphic or much games??? in other way i think thats much unnecesary ram ._. | 22:20 |
| bodhi_me | so i can load the whole system into the ram, such as salix os and boshi (ubuntu) | 22:20 |
| rymate1234|usb | O_o | 22:20 |
| jinjorge | ahhh ok | 22:20 |
| bodhi_me | and all my vms can get 4 gb of ram | 22:20 |
| jinjorge | haven't needed to do that | 22:20 |
| rymate1234|usb | well this is fun | 22:20 |
| rymate1234|usb | ^_^ | 22:20 |
| jinjorge | 4GB works for me | 22:21 |
| remaster | and ... what version of ubuntu may i use? | 22:21 |
| bodhi_me | for example, salix only takes about 1gb of ram | 22:21 |
| bodhi_me | then everything is in the ram | 22:21 |
| jinjorge | remaster: what do you mean? | 22:21 |
| bodhi_me | persistence? no problem | 22:22 |
| remaster | x86 or amd64? | 22:22 |
| jinjorge | you are in the 12.04 beta2 chat room. my guess is that most in here are running 12.04 | 22:22 |
| jinjorge | do you have an intel processor? | 22:22 |
| remaster | i5 intel processor | 22:23 |
| jinjorge | then x86 | 22:23 |
| remaster | ok | 22:23 |
| remaster | thanks | 22:23 |
| rymate1234|usb | okay..... | 22:25 |
| penguin42 | jinjorge: Why did you say x86 - amd64 will run very nicely on an i5 | 22:25 |
| penguin42 | jinjorge: amd64 is just the name for the 64bit arch | 22:25 |
| rymate1234|usb | why is my mouse a permanent spinning wheel thing | 22:26 |
| rymate1234|usb | okay..... | 22:28 |
| rymate1234|usb | its stuck at "removing conflicting operating system files" | 22:28 |
| remaster | uff | 22:30 |
| remaster | well i'm downloading amd64 | 22:30 |
| remaster | 4min to complete the download :3 | 22:30 |
| rymate1234|usb | oshit | 22:31 |
| rymate1234|usb | I think I got my partitions mixed up | 22:31 |
| rymate1234|usb | :( | 22:31 |
| remaster | i only have a data partition of 550gb | 22:32 |
| remaster | and a OS partition of 50gb | 22:32 |
| rymate1234|usb | YAY ITS DOING STUFF | 22:32 |
| rymate1234|usb | AOK | 22:32 |
| rymate1234|usb | ok | 22:32 |
| rymate1234|usb | I think | 22:32 |
| rymate1234|usb | I mixed up my current /home and / partitions | 22:33 |
| ratcheer | 550 GB! WTH? | 22:33 |
| rymate1234|usb | because they were both similar size | 22:33 |
| rymate1234|usb | >.< | 22:33 |
| remaster | ratcheer why? | 22:34 |
| rymate1234|usb | if my calculations are correct (which I hope they aren't) i'm formatting my /home and using it as me / | 22:34 |
| rymate1234|usb | rymate1234|usb: yay | 22:34 |
| rymate1234|usb | I can tab complete | 22:34 |
| ratcheer | remaster: I just wonder what you do with it. The biggest partition on my 1 TB drive is 50 GB. | 22:35 |
| remaster | well i only put random files there... music, videos | 22:35 |
| ratcheer | Well, I do have a 2 TB external drive that is all one big partition. | 22:36 |
| remaster | i have a TimeCapsule 2TB | 22:36 |
| nabukadnezar43 | e-sata? | 22:36 |
| ratcheer | nabukadnezar43: No, mine is USB 3 | 22:36 |
| rymate1234|usb | hmmm | 22:37 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i gave up on externals | 22:37 |
| rymate1234|usb | will not doing anything speed up installation? | 22:37 |
| nabukadnezar43 | too slow too painful | 22:37 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i've a 500 gb for os | 22:37 |
| nabukadnezar43 | and 1 tb for storage | 22:37 |
| ratcheer | nabukadnezar43: I still use one because it is cheap and easy. | 22:37 |
| nabukadnezar43 | that's my desktop | 22:37 |
| nabukadnezar43 | internals are cheaper | 22:38 |
| nabukadnezar43 | well that's if you're using a desktop | 22:38 |
| ratcheer | But not as easy. Just plug in the external and go. They're easy to move among systems if you need to, too. | 22:38 |
| nabukadnezar43 | internals are already plugged in | 22:39 |
| ratcheer | But, I'm not the type that likes to dig around inside my case. | 22:39 |
| nabukadnezar43 | and you can format them in any filesystem you want | 22:39 |
| jinjorge | penguin: didn't know that...... thought it meant cpu type. I stand corrected. Thanks!! | 22:39 |
| nabukadnezar43 | but who cares, that's your choice and this is mine :) | 22:39 |
| ratcheer | nabukadnezar43: Agreed | 22:40 |
| jinjorge | penguin42: didn't know that...... thought it meant cpu type. I stand corrected. Thanks!! | 22:40 |

| spaceneedle | After I type in my password at the login screen it takes too long for the unity screen to appear. | 22:53 |

| Wrostek | Im trying to compile a kernel with 'fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic' after around 20 minutes, sub-make returns error 2 while compiling 'LD [M] drivers/w1/wire.o' ... but there is no debug info... Is there a way to get the kernel build to be more descriptive? | 23:05 |
| Wrostek | ( i would disable Dallas Wire from the config, but you cant, its either built in or module, and I dont know how to fix the problem without debug ) | 23:05 |
| jtaylor | usually its make V=1 or make VERBOSE=1 | 23:07 |
| Wrostek | thanks I will try that | 23:09 |
| penguin42 | I thought even without that it would normally give you the reason for an error | 23:09 |
| penguin42 | Wrostek: Do you know if it's doing parallel builds? | 23:09 |
| jtaylor | I would have expected that too | 23:09 |
| Wrostek | Like using multiple cores? yes | 23:09 |
| penguin42 | Wrostek: In that case, look a little bit further up to see if there was an error | 23:10 |
| penguin42 | Wrostek: when it's doing stuff in parallel you might get the error and then some other ones complete | 23:11 |
| Wrostek | Yes, I looked up the output, but there were no errors ( some warnings ) but no errors | 23:12 |
| meerkats | so in the ubuntu project gnome is no longer in your plans for future releases... you will stick to unity | 23:16 |
| meerkats | right? | 23:16 |
| Daekdroom | meerkats, GNOME is in the plans for the future releases. | 23:17 |
| meerkats | Daekdroom, but as it is now in 11.10? I mean I liked gnome in 11.04, but since 11.10 there are some missing things (I cannot find an easy way to change between open windows) | 23:19 |
| bjsnider | you don't have to use unity, you can use gnome-shell | 23:26 |
| itaylor57 | resistance is futile you will be assimilated to unity | 23:38 |
| bastidrazor | crush all hu-mans | 23:39 |
