ZoffixHey. So far I only managed to see the beta2 from live CD... .Question: is there to get the usual desktop environment that we had in the previous versions on Ubuntu? I'm totally hating the dash thing and other stuff....00:23
taxmanhahaha, so do i00:24
Zoffix:)00:24
xrdodrxZoffix, taxman install the `gnome-panel' package.00:24
Zoffixxrdodrx, thanks.00:24
ZoffixI will if I actually manage to install it. It refuses to install the boot loader :/ I suspect it's because I'm trying to install it on my mirror raid :\00:24

taxmanhow many bug did you find in 12.04?00:33
itaylor57bastidrazor, well i retried pcbsd with gnome and much better (live verison)00:34
=== diegovieiraeti is now known as Guest69117
ZoffixMan, this sucks. Don't know what to install :| I want the latest, but it doesn't want to install... If I do 11.10, then the next update will inevitably break some stuff... *sigh*00:34
itaylor57so i will probably reinstall my entire drive to bsd00:35
taxmanlol00:35
=== Guest69117 is now known as diegovieiraeti
taxmanthere is new bsd00:35
taxmanit's called 'ghostbsd'00:36
ZoffixI don't want to learn a new system either.. I wonder what version of Ubuntu I got at work :/ 11.10 I think...00:36
taxmannew system? who the hell doesn't know bsd, linux, macos and windows nowadays?00:37
ZoffixHm.. I'm actually having a hard time thinking of anyone who does :)00:38
ZoffixLast time I used OpenBSD, I heard 1990s calling....00:38
taxmando you want to say: i have no time...00:38
itaylor57sorry i posted to wrong room00:38
taxmani made a home router with obsd+pf00:39
ZoffixYeah, I definitely don't have time.00:39
taxmanit's quite fast00:39
ZoffixHmm... I wonder if there's much difference between using BIOS to setup drives as RAID or using Ubuntu's "Software RAID" :/00:40
taxmanlvm is not raid00:40
taxmanthey are different00:41
ZoffixWhat's lvm?00:41
taxman...00:41
yofel!lvm00:41
ubottuTips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto00:41
ZoffixI see00:41
yofeland software raid would be dmraid, bios is better00:41
ZoffixHm00:41
taxmani prefer to use a standalone hardware raid box00:42
ratcheertaxman: Big bucks?00:42
taxmanmaybe chinese are making cheap personal raid boxes now00:43
ratcheerYes, probably.00:43
taxmanssd + raid = perfect00:43
taxman+thunderbolt00:43
taxmanthen you can attach this raid to a macbook air00:44
LetterRipohi all - just wanted to mention that during the update - i had update initramfs and kernel module builds of nvidia triggered a huge number of times00:47
LetterRipoi think 4 times00:47
LetterRiposomething that should have happened once for each of the kernels00:48
LetterRipothat were impacted00:48
LetterRipoinstead the latest kernel and the previous kernel had it happen many times each00:48
LetterRipojust thought i'd let you all know00:49
DaekdroomLetterRipo, someone who can work on that will hardly notice it in here.00:51
LetterRipoDaekdroom: ah so noone core to ubuntu dev here?00:52
LetterRipois there an irc channel i can mention it?00:52
penguin42LetterRipo: File a bug00:52
glosoli!bug | LetterRipo00:53
ubottuLetterRipo: 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.00:53
penguin42LetterRipo: There seem to be a lot of things like that which get done on every kernel every time there is an update and often multiple times in one update set because of multiple things that touch it00:53
LetterRipohmm there really should be an easier way to report such bugs00:53
glosoliFor example ?00:53
DaekdroomLetterRipo, there are plenty of people in here who work on Ubuntu development, but they prefer to use the bug tracker.00:54
penguin42LetterRipo: Bugs work pretty well because they're recorded, they're searchable and you can follow them00:54
Daekdroomand you can discuss them if necessary00:54
glosoliAnybody uses Firefox here on Precise  ?00:54
LetterRipopenguin42: i'm familiar with bug trackers - do blender bug tracker maintance occassionaly :)00:54
LetterRipoi am quite aware of their benefits and detriments00:55
LetterRipoglosoli: occassionaly though mostly using chrome00:56
glosoliDo you also get in Bookmarks Tool bar sub-directories with no icons ?00:56
LetterRipochecking...00:56
LetterRipohmm the main entries have no icons for me00:57
LetterRipoi mean all things in my folders have no icons00:57
LetterRipothat are on the toolbar00:57
glosolii mean sub folder icons00:58
glosoliin bookmarks tool bar00:58
glosolifor me folders has but their sub folders doesn't :)00:58
LetterRipowell i didn't have any subfolders - but all entries in the folders had no icons :)00:59

kklimondabah, so I'm trying to use HUD just to realize that I've never really used application menus that much01:26
kklimondaso I can't even see if HUD is of any use to me01:26

frybyehi - is there some way to increase the scroll-wheel speed on 12.04 beta2?04:22
frybyeover on the "dark side" i use intellipoint to fix such stuff but...?04:23
DropsOfSerenityi'm getting a blue tint in youtube videos, since the last flash update, anyone having same problem? video is fine everywhere else.04:33
frybyenot that this problem is very important..04:33
bazhangDropsOfSerenity, disable hw acceleration04:33
DropsOfSerenitybazhang, i can't click the box that would allow me to do that04:36
DropsOfSerenitybazhang, nothin on that?04:48
DropsOfSerenityI cannot uncheck my hardware acceleration box in flash, i've tried tabbing to it and pressing space as well and that doesn't work either.04:49
bazhangno idea, it works here fine04:49
DropsOfSerenityfound the solution, for any having the same problem, you need to fullscreen the youtube video, then you can change the setting.04:51
rymate1234hey05:59
ubuntu_beta2 and same problem as beta1 on eeepc, install hangs at installing packages06:12
ubuntu_live session works fine and media check is good06:13
ubuntu_setup partitions and user etc...06:14
phibxrMy installation of Beta 2 crashed with only partial windows displaying -- after a reboot the system had finished installing fine though. :P06:14
ubuntu_as install proceeds past the formatting of partitions and starts the installing of packages06:15
ubuntu_it just hangs06:15
ubuntu_though the live desktop is still ok06:15
ubuntu_LOL, I had to install xchat in the live session06:16
rymate1234hmmm06:22
ubuntu_hmmm indeed06:23

* nonix4 ponders how to convince udev that SAS devices should actually be used for "persistent" storage, whatever "persistent" means in that case...06:31
gnu-dioSo, I installed 12.04 to usb-flash with the installer from pen-drive-linux. Worked great, until I let it do updates. After that it spent the next 7 hours thrashing (assumption based on very low responsiveness, capped out swap space use) and I had to power-off the machine because I couldn't wait on it anymore. The install is broken now, I'll have to reinstall it. I'm not sure what exactly I want to ask, but is this a known issue? I06:41
nonix4capped out swap = bad; how much ram & swap were available?06:45
gnu-dio512mb ram, 1gb swap.06:45
rymate1234so06:45
rymate1234currently using Ubuntu 12.0406:46
gnu-dioswap on hdd as genuine swap partition06:46
rymate1234haven't touched the hud yet ^^06:46
gnu-diono, I'm in puppylinux atm06:46
gnu-diothat install is totally borked now06:46
Num83rGuyHa! nvidia is broke again.06:47
gnu-dioI'm actually downloading the beta2 iso now, when I reinstall it will be with nehe new iso, so hopefully less updates required. may not freak out (hopefully)06:48
Num83rGuyAlmost all other breakages I can live with but, having to work in 800x600 is a PITA.06:48
gnu-dioI used to be an nvidia guy, but since the amd takeover, I'm starting to like ati much more. Especially that they released enough specs for really working oss drivers to be written... ;)06:51
rymate1234yay06:51
nonix4VM image copy of such borked installation might be useful for debugging/fixing it... but reinstall is likely far less work :)06:52
rymate1234^06:52
Num83rGuyI don't think I'll switch until they really screw up.06:52
gnu-dioIt wasn't used for anything. I installed it, used it for a day, installed a few of my favorite pieces of software, then let it update itself to death... ;) reinstalling is DEFINATELY the way to go for me ;)06:54
gnu-dionow, if someone wanted to try and look at it and find out what happened for development purposes, I'd go to great lengths to get the image to whoever. But I assume nobody wants it, and I certainly have no desire to fix it "the hard way".06:56
* nonix4 notes he wouldn't know, since he has 50 gigabytes swap...06:57
rymate1234how do I install the youtube len on 12.04 beta207:12

rymate1234I get this error http://pastebin.com/vJ24KH1r07:14
frybyeLooks like it might not yet be available for 12.04 - but I am no wizz.. perhaps sbdy else has a comment07:17
rymate1234meh ok :(07:18
frybyethere is the remark about broken packages.. some wizz will be able to advise you on that I guess.. not many active here just now though apparently..07:19
gnu-dioMy reaction is that you'd have to try and pull the missing package from the 11.10 repositories and get it to install. And since it isn't in 12.04 yet, there's no garuntee that it would work at all.07:20
frybyethe old adage: "Don't forget - you have a Beta!"07:38
Num83rGuyLOL too much X crack.07:42

gnu-dioFor anyone who cares about the earlier issue I had(posted almost exactly 2h ago): beta2 does NOT display the same behavior as beta1 when I ran updates. It appears to have worked perfectly.08:40
maximiliusthe people work like crazy. updates, more updates. nice!09:00
astraljavamaximilius: Yeah well, beta-2 isn't in the end of the roadmap. :)09:01
maximilius*nod nod*09:01
astraljavaBut you're right, they seem relentless.09:01
astraljavaAlso, many changes were in a queue, waiting for the beta-2 freeze to vanish.09:02
maximiliusand that freeze happened about yesterday or today?09:02
astraljavamaximilius: Images were released on Thursday.09:03
maximiliusis there an RSS feed with such interesting information by chance?09:04
astraljava...so the freeze was lifted about midnight UTC, between Thu and Fri.09:04
astraljavamaximilius: There is a mailing list that announces all the updates on packages.09:04
astraljavaprecise-changes@lists.ubuntu.com, I believe.09:04
maximiliusoh09:04
astraljava...or was that not what you asked? I'm a little unsure.09:05
maximiliusi was hoping for something i could import into Google Reader :P09:06

* astraljava doesn't know, IRC and email is what he uses. :)09:06
* maximilius smiles09:07
maximiliusanother question maybe? the support here, it moves to #ubuntu as soon as PP turns into "stable" right?09:08

ScG^Dedicatedhello, I am using ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop and normally when you stop working on the laptop and wait a little the screen's brightness dims. but when i manually set the screen brightness it does the opposite instaid it sets the brightness very bright instaid of leaving it at the not so bright settings. any ideas? :)09:11
gnu-dioI'm preparing to migrate my systems to 12.04 from 10.04 sometime after release and testing and such now from a usb-flash install. I'm curious, as I'm finding Unity to be counter-intuitive since I'm used to Gnome/KDE/Xfce, do most of the early adopters like unity? Or is it getting replaced with another WM for most early adopters?09:17
anthroposi think a lot of people dislike unity09:20
anthroposbut i have no hard statistics09:20
anthroposI personally switched, but to gnome shell, which you'd probably find just as counterintuitive09:20
robin0800! notunity | gnu-dio09:22
ubottugnu-dio: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic09:22
gnu-diorobin0800: I already replaced it with xfce4, my personal prefrence. I was asking what anthropos answered, not for help... :P09:23
anthroposunity is controversial09:24
anthroposthat much is certain09:24
maximilius!unity09:24
ubottuUnity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04.  Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity09:24
jokerdinounity debate is never productive09:24
jokerdinoyou either like it or you don't09:24
ScG^Dedicatedhello, I am using ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop and normally when you stop working on the laptop and wait a little the screen's brightness dims. but when i manually set the screen brightness it does the opposite instaid it sets the brightness very bright instaid of leaving it at the not so bright settings. any ideas? :)09:25
maximiliusi force me to like it to stay mainstream :o)09:25
anthroposi tried to like it, but i didn't take.09:25
anthropos*it09:25
jokerdinoScG^Dedicated: sounds like a bug09:26
maximiliususeful would be an introduction video09:26
jokerdinowe have ubuntu-docs documentation which is pretty good.09:26
maximiliusbut that turns out into: go and make one09:26
gnu-diomaximilius: To some extent that was why I asked. If it looks like it's going to become what most low-skill users are using, I NEED to learn it. If not, I'll probably just blow it off...09:26
jokerdinoit just needs some update for 12.0409:26
ScG^Dedicatedjokerdino, I have to submit the bug?09:27
anthroposare you supporting end users or something like this, gnu-dio ?09:27
jokerdinohow did you set your brightness?09:27
maximiliusgnu-dio: its the default for the upcoming LTS so its default for a few years ;)09:27
ScG^Dedicatedjokerdino, i set it with my keyboard fnction butons, it works when I set then brightness in the brightness & lock settings but have to redo that everytime i reboot09:29
ScG^DedicatedI had the problem in 11.10 too09:29
jokerdinoweird, i never had them here.09:30
anthroposis anyone else having trouble with seahorse (the passwd manager) in 12.04? I can't see any passwords I manually added09:30
jokerdinoScG^Dedicated:  can you set to turn off screen after 10 minutes and check if it changes anything?09:30
ScG^Dedicatedsure09:30
anthroposi'd appreciate it if someone could check to see if their password manager is working when adding plaintext passwords by hand09:30
maximiliusand regarding the docs - they are fine. but i am a learner who needs visual and audio support09:30
jokerdinoanthropos: what do you mean by that? you think it is not working?09:31
ScG^Dedicatedjokerdino I believe 10 minutes is the default and I set it to 5, and now back to 10 again09:32
anthroposyes, as far as I can tell it does nothing whatsoever. I create a keyring and try to add some passwords to it and they don't appear. there are some other issues too but they seem more benign09:32
jokerdinothere is no password showing up here.09:32
anthropose.g. when i delete a keyring, it doesn't disappear until I restart seahorse (if I try to delete it again, seahorse complains). but that's not a big deal09:32
anthroposis it remembering your passwords that it automatically catches?09:32
jokerdinoi don't know what it is doing. it used to show all the passwords, now it doesn't09:34
anthroposok, so you agree that it seems broken?09:34
anthroposor perhaps this is a 'feature' ?09:35
jokerdinomaybe09:35
anthroposdoes it seem to be doing anything functional, e.g. autofilling in some passwords still?09:35
jokerdinoautofiling is done by the browser, so i can't tell09:35
anthroposyes, my browser's autofill works fine of course. but for other password prompts it doesn't seem to work09:36
gnu-dioanthropos: Yes, I am the support for the end users in the business I work at.09:43
ScG^Dedicatedbtw another thing, I have both a intel and nvidia gfx card and heard it's called nvidia optimus. is this something that will be implemented in the final 12.04 build?09:43
anthroposi suppose you should probably get used to unity, then, gnu-dio09:44
anthropos12.04 has the nvidia proprietary drivers just like 11.10, so presumably the nvidia card works fine09:45
gnu-dioanthropos: And, I am support for a dozen or so friends&family that I've convinced over the years to jump into Ubuntu from Windows (usually after a malware incident that costs them much data)09:45
anthroposdo you know of some problem with it?09:45
ScG^Dedicatedanthropos, the card works fine but the nvidia is used all the time while it would save me a lot of baterry if it was using the intel card when not doing anything like gaming09:48
anthroposoh, i don't know ScG^Dedicated09:48
anthropossorry09:48
ScG^Dedicatedno problem09:48
ScG^Dedicatedbut isn't this the official place to discuss problems like these? XD09:49
anthroposyes09:49

OldManMagnusi have severe doubts about 12.04 actually being released in april. :)11:45
rymate1234it seems stable11:46
rymate1234the only reason i had to recover my /home was because windows 8 borked my partitions11:46

ihatewindowswhat can I do? please!11:51

Dr_willistry to mount it from the terminal.11:51
ihatewindowshow can I see the device id?11:52
ihatewindowsto use mount on it?11:52
ihatewindowsmount /sda refers to the cd, and mount /sda1 does not exist11:52
Dr_willissda1 would be a partion on the cd.. so i dont think you want sda111:53
ironhalikihatewindows: Im not sure your nick is proper one here ;)11:53
Dr_willischeck 'fdisk -l' output11:53
ihatewindowsi meant /dev/11:53
ihatewindowsfdisk -l doesn't output a thing11:54
ihatewindowsit just goes to the next line11:54
Dr_willisuse sudo fdisk -l11:54
ihatewindowsironhalik: thanks for your caring about windows.11:54
philinuxOldManMagnus: I'm just updating now. It's a new kernel so I'll see once it's in and rebooted11:54

ironhalikto list drives by UUID11:56
philinuxihatewindows: I might have missed something but is this a wubi install11:56
ihatewindowsDr_willis11:56
ihatewindowsthat mounted my pendrive11:56
ihatewindows:<11:56
ihatewindowsIt's a live flash disk11:56
Dr_willisthen you ment to say you have 2 disks.. the pendrive and the internal drive.11:57
ironhalikyou need to specify filesystem when mounting11:57
Dr_willisif sudo blkid, or sudo fdisk -l, is not showing all the disks. then theres a deeper issue at either the bios level. or a hard drive is failing.11:57
Dr_willisironhalik,  not always.11:57

philinuxSee you on the other side11:58
ihatewindowsso there is nothing to do?11:59
ihatewindowswhy do they even ship computers with windows?12:00
ihatewindowsIt sucks.12:00
ironhalikwell, you can try and figure it out by yourself12:01
ironhalikits not windows, you know12:01
ihatewindowsMy computer is gone cause of windows12:01
ihatewindowsthe HDD won't open because it hasn't been closed properly on windows.12:01
ihatewindowsHHD*12:01
ironhalikat most, OS could break the filesystem12:02
ironhalikcheck if the BIOS sees the drive12:03
ihatewindowsthanks ironhalik12:03
ihatewindowsthanks willi, philinux12:04
brobostigonany suggestions to my above problem?12:04
ihatewindowssorry for highlighting though12:04
* philinux is back12:05
philinuxWell whatever oldmanmagnus was seeing I'm not. All  a OK12:06
rcsheetsis there documentation for precise on help.ubuntu.com somewhere?12:09
philinuxrcsheets: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/TechnicalOverview/Beta212:12
rcsheetsok, so nothing like an updated version of https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/installation-guide/amd64/appendix-preseed.html ?12:13
philinuxrcsheets: It's not released yet12:14
rcsheetswell i figured it wasn't released yet, but i assumed there would be a beta of the docs to go along with the beta of the distribution12:14
philinuxrcsheets: Doesnt seem like it12:16
rcsheetsok, thanks12:16
jbicharcsheets: that installation guide doesn't change much12:19
rcsheetsThe syslinux config that I was using successfully for lucid isn't working on precise b2, so I was hoping to figure out if there was something new there.12:20
brobostigoni killed dpkg, and reran dpkg --configure -a, and it seems to be continuing the upgrade.12:20
philinuxrcsheets: How about start a thread here for your syslinux config problem.  http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=41212:36
rcsheetsi'll do a little more investigation and then go do that. thanks.12:36
rcsheetsone thing i noticed is i'm reading docs for a much newer syslinux version than what's being installed on my usb drive by usb-creator12:39
rcsheetsso i'm going to dig into usb-creator a bit to see what it's actually doing12:39
ZoffixMan, so I finally successfully installed Ubuntu. Turns out my HDD was overheating :/  I'm wanting to like the whol Super+whatever interface, but whenever I use it, it brings up the keyboard shortcuts.. Is it a bug? Is there a way to disable this, while still keeping the shortcuts accessible when holding Super?12:43
Zoffixi.e. if I press Super+Up Arrow to maximize the window, it does so, but then brings up the shortcuts :/12:43
ZoffixHeh.. Unity is voted as the most hated environment, and Ubuntu chose to use it by default.... Yup, that's why I dislike  Ubuntu more and more with every new release ~_~ http://sixgun.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4118&p=112:51
philinuxZoffix: Logout and choose classic session12:52
ZoffixI will in about an hour; I have a bunch of software installing. I guess I'm just bored and ranting for no good purpose :) Sorry.12:53
Dr_willis'ranting for no purpose' is common on irc  it seems.12:53
philinuxZoffix: To quote "lies damn lies and stats" lol http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/poll-result-15800-votes-cast-unity-named-most-popular-desktop/12:55
Zoffixlmao :)12:56
Dr_willisUnity works.. could be better. could be worse.. same goes for gnome-2 that everyone has hated... untill it was removed...12:56
Dr_willisim so used to my android phone. i try to do 'android' things on my pc's now.12:57
Onlyodingnome 2 S**ts all over gnome 312:57
* philinux nods in agreement12:57
ZoffixWell, I'm willing to give it a try. I guess I can disable the shortcuts window and will stop popping up when I don't want it.12:57
ironhalikwow, whats about all those anti-unity fanboys? :>12:58
ironhaliktheres xfce for you ;>12:58
Dr_willisgnome2 is/was lacking in a great many ways. Hopefully g3 fix's a lot of the failings.12:58
ironhalikand cinnamon12:58
Dr_willisfor old-skool desktop - i use lubuntu12:58
ironhalikfor me, the only thing unity is lacking is a shell-like software list13:02
philinuxZoffix: Yes the switch is under Experimental13:03
ironhaliksomething that will let you find your software without knowing the name13:03
jbichaironhalik: have you used the Dash's applications lens?13:03
ZoffixFrom what I can tell, you go to Dash, press CRTL+TAB and go down installed apps13:04
ironhalikjbicha: yeah, but youve got all the software at once there13:04
philinuxironhalik: Do you mean installed apps?13:05
ironhalikphilinux: yeah13:05
ironhaliksomple categories would help13:05
bjsnidernot aware of what "failings" there are in gnome-shell or unity13:06
philinuxironhalik: Software Centre then click Installed.13:06
ironhalikphilinux: yeah, but software centre is slow13:06
philinuxironhalik: Not now ;)13:06
Zoffixphilinux: sorry, I'm not following where that "Experimental" is... Where do I go?13:06
ironhalikstill slower then anything 'start menu' like ;>13:06
philinuxZoffix: CCSM > Desktop > Unity plugin > experimental tab13:07
ironhalikgenerally, its just a observation - I prefer typing in my apps, in the dash13:07
ironhalikbut, lets say my mom, wont know she wants 'writer' to write some document13:07
philinuxironhalik: Type doc in dash13:08
ironhaliknot to mention, she wont know you need to click apps lens, then expand installed apps, then scroll through it looking for stuff13:08
DaekdroomHm.. I can't see my mouse cursor. :(13:08
ironhalikhmm, true13:09
ironhalikneed better example :P13:09
philinuxironhalik: Gnome 2 was a learning curve for me. Unity is too13:09
ironhalikphilinux: well, yeah - in g2, I hated that I needed to figure out under which category the developer figured out his app should be13:09
ironhaliknot to mention the thin line between setting/preferences and administration :)13:10
philinuxironhalik: G2 from windows ME was a steep curve13:10
ironhalikwell, the app menu and start menu are similiar ideas13:10
ironhalikgenerally, I like Unity ;>13:11
ironhalikit could be a bit snappier on my lappy though, like gnome-shell13:12
philinuxironhalik: I was glad to see this for peeps who are not to keen on Unity http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/13:12
ironhalikbut in time, Ill either change my lappy, or Unity will get there :)13:12
jbichaironhalik: use the Filter results button in the apps lens to view by category13:13
philinuxjbicha: Ah yes - forgot that. I never seem to need that I just type in dash13:13
ironhalikjbicha: yeah, its there, its just hidden13:13
ironhalikat least, hidden from newbies, not intuitive, IMGO13:13
ironhalikIMHO*13:14
philinuxironhalik: I think Dash should have the option of Text under the bottom row of icons13:14
ironhalikregarding classic gnome in 12.04 - that wont change anything, there always will be a vocal minority hating unity ;>13:14
jbichadesign is tricky, what about if browsing by category is now considered an advanced task, and browsing by name or typing in what you want is what you should be doing13:15
ironhalikjbicha: it kinda is, stats say people stopped using start menu in windows 7, just the search bar13:15
jbichathat new Keywords field should make search quite a bit better for 12.1013:15
philinuxjbicha: Trick indeed. Hovering over the apps icon in dash could have a text pop up13:16
jbichaphilinux: text tooltip saying what?13:16
ironhalikphilinux: dunno whats the solution, Im just thinking that for my mom, pressing dash, then app lens (or tab), then selecting installing apps, and then filters its way too much to get comfortable with13:16
philinuxjbicha: tooltip like Application or Files etc13:16
ironhalikbut the drag and drop to install feature is great, in unity 5.813:16
fyrfaktryUnity rocks!13:17
jbichaphilinux: you can open a bug about that, it depends on what Design wants though13:17
ivap2can I get the beta 1 ?13:17
ZoffixWell, after looking around, I think I like Unity :)  I think I was just still pissed from wasting 12 hours trying to install Ubuntu :)13:17
ikoniaivap2: READ the topic as I've told you twice13:17
philinuxjbicha: It's fine for me I'm thinking first time user. The icons are pretty good though13:17
ivap2ikonia:  reading13:18
Dr_willistheres some way to 'convert' a older iso to the newer one.. but i forget how. :)13:18
ikoniaivap2: you'll get a lot further with things if when people give you info / advice you actually "use it" rather than ignoring it and just re-asking the question13:18
ivap2ikonia: topic is of two links ..reading L(13:18
OnlyodinI like the Unity panel, but I hate the launcher/"Dash Home"/Start/whatever it's called today13:18
philinuxDr_willis: zsync ?13:18
Dr_willisphilinux,  that sounds right. i rarely needed the feature13:18
Dr_willisOnlyodin,  i normally just add one of the classic-menu indicator applets. :)13:19
OnlyodinI'd be happy if I could have the unity panel with the old Apps/Places/System menus.13:19
ironhalikusing zsync between b1 and b2 iso will probably and in downloading the whole is again :)13:19
jbichaI will say that I expected tooltips there, but tooltips are a kind of visual clutter too13:19
Dr_willisOnlyodin,  it adds those. :)13:19
philinuxironhalik: I would agree13:19
Dr_willisbbl13:19
OnlyodinOh, as an icon on the right hand side?13:20
Dr_willisOnlyodin,  theres several. some do that. some add item to top panel13:21
ivap2ikonia: Thank you , a bit of patience from my side would have been better , got the link :)13:21
OnlyodinI want the three menus back at the top left.13:21
philinuxOnlyodin: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/use-classic-menu-in-unity-classicmenu.html not sure if it works in 12.0413:23
philinuxOnlyodin: Or log out and choose classic session13:24
OnlyodinThe "ClassicMenu" Indicator isn't what I'm after, but Cardapio might be tolerable. It's a little too suse/kde for my liking though13:26
ironmhello. May I ask what kind of virtualization has been used on precise server 12.04? (xen, kvm or another one ..). Thank you in advance for any hints.13:27
timbuntuwho is running 12.04 beta 2?13:30
ironhalikprobably most people here13:31
timbuntujust trying to get an idea of how stable it is before i install it13:31
ironhalikironm: Im really not sure, but I think you get KVM by default13:31
Onlyodinironm, I'm using KVM on 11.10 and prior, so I would imagine that is still an option.13:32
ironmthanks a lot ironhalik and Onlyodin13:32
ironhaliktimbuntu: since around beta1, I dont get any software crashesh or bugs on two PCs running precise13:32
ironhaliktimbuntu: but your mileage may vary13:32
ironhalikby bugs I mean any rather critical stuff13:33
=== Sidewinder is now known as Sidewinder1
timbuntuthanks for the info! i want to install it but i can wait if its still got problems13:33
ironmOnlyodin, have you checked I/O-Performance (kvm) compare to flat installation?13:33
ironhaliktimbuntu: I would go ahead, but as always, there are no promises with prerelease software13:34
Onlyodintimbuntu, I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 Beta 2, had an issue with unity immediately, but since then it's been pretty stable13:34
ironmironhalik, I read something, that ubuntu want to support xen again .. I am not sure if it has happened already in 12.0413:34
ironhaliktimbuntu: IMHO, currently its in better condition then 11.10 was at release13:34
trippehtimbuntu: I'm using 12.04 i production (servers)... since alpha something. But on the desktop I've had quite a few stability issues on anything up unitl the last beta.13:34
Onlyodinironm, not really. I only use KVM guests for mundane dev tasks, usually non-interactive13:35
ironhalikironm: you could look at this: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1204_virt&num=113:35
ironmthanks a lot Onlyodin  and ironhalik  :)13:35
timbuntuim so torn on what to do and i have no patients waiting for the release13:36
trippehtimbuntu: But its been ok to me on the desktop for a couple of weeks now.13:36

ZoffixHa! This one last reinstall was an awesome idea (I decided --intall-sugested  option in apt-get was a bad idea). Trying to get proper resolution on last install, I reconnected the monitor cable from DVI to VGA port, and now Ubuntu automatically configured my favorite resolution :)13:51

philinuxBoth cores at 4%14:09
ironhalikhmm, so pretty much the same as me14:09
ironhalikIll need to check out the drivers I guess14:09
philinuxironhalik: Nothing out of the ordinary here. Pretty boring for a beta lol14:09
philinuxToo stable14:10
philinuxironhalik: Memeory is up though. Firefox Xchat and a terminal and I'm using 1.09 gig according to conky14:10

philinuxrymate1234: http://conky.sourceforge.net/14:13
philinuxXabster2: What version are u running now14:14
philinuxrymate1234: conky is in the repo14:14
Xabster211.10, philinux14:14
philinuxXabster2: Is this your main machine14:14
Xabster2yes14:14
Xabster2my own desktop14:15
philinuxXabster2: Then wait till end of april14:15
Xabster2please answer my question14:15
rymate1234its a beta14:15
philinuxXabster2: What desktop are you running now unity?14:15
Xabster2i told you14:16
philinuxXabster2: No. Are you running gnome classic14:16
Xabster2yes14:16
philinuxXabster2: Hang on14:16
philinuxXabster2: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/14:17
Xabster2so it's a yes then?14:17
philinuxXabster2: Upgrading will kepp your installed apps. But the process takes an absolute age. Me I prefer a clean install everytime.14:18
Xabster2okay I see14:18
ironhalikalso, you may loose some configs14:18
philinuxXabster2: Are you willing to risk it for your main machine. Make sure you got pproper backups14:18
Xabster2okay, i'm asking because this is my first install of ubuntu and i installed shitloads of different things and now i got a bloated machine that i don't know how to fix14:19
philinuxXabster2: Then wait till 26th April. Backup your stuff and do a clean install14:19
Xabster2no, i need to fix my pc now14:19
philinuxThen no bloat14:19
philinuxAh ok. Have you got backups14:20
rymate1234this is why I always seperate my /home onto a different partition14:20
philinuxrymate1234: That can cause problems too if unity and compiz got conflicting settings14:21
rymate1234orly14:21
philinuxrymate1234: Easy to fix by deleting the .hidden config folders14:22
rymate1234i know :P14:22
ZoffixMan. Is it just my colourblindness, or did someone decide to display Create New Folder and Create New Document context menu items the exact same way as greyed-out items?14:23
bazhangXabster2, what version of ubuntu are you on14:23
Xabster211.1014:23
philinuxZoffix: Theres a bug but they say thats the way its supposed to be. Right click on desktop is blinding14:24
bazhangXabster2, then dont post in this channel14:24
Xabster2Did you read my question ?14:24
philinuxbazhang: He wants to upgrade14:24
philinuxor clean install not sure yet14:24
Xabster2bazhang is totally on a rage spree14:24
Xabster2better leave him alone14:24
bazhangXabster2, then dont crosspost in #ubuntu14:24

Xabster2did you even read my questions?14:24
Xabster2or are you just in a bad mood?14:24
rymate1234I have a problem with gnome-fallback14:25
philinuxXabster2: Backup your stuff and do a clean install beta 2.14:25
rymate1234alt+right click on the panels does nothing14:25
philinuxXabster2: But be prepared for breakage14:25
Xabster2philinux, I will wait for the release and do a reinstall of 11.1014:26
philinuxXabster2: You can reinstall 11.10 now whats to wait for14:26
Xabster2nothing, i'm not waiting14:26
Xabster2you stopped me from getting up and getting the cd14:26
Xabster2dvd*14:27
philinuxXabster2: Why wait for 12.04 release but then install 11.1014:27
Xabster2because my system is b0rked14:27
rymate1234oops14:27
philinuxXabster2: You lost me now good luck14:28
Xabster2lost you? i have a pc that does not work properly - i was wondering if upgrading to 12.04 would restore all my settings and installed programs in the process14:28
philinuxXabster2: Right if it's bloated and borked now it will be the same after upgrade or worse14:29
Xabster2understood14:29

philinuxI was looking at the text14:41
edgyphilinux: it seems my problem is so serious I can see things that you can't see. may be nvidia has corrupted part of my screen and put a big image on the background that contains strange text like "m/M Control the motor"14:43
philinuxedgy: i can only see whats here http://imagebin.org/20614614:44

philinuxpapasmurf: Thats April 25th then15:54
philinuxpapasmurf: You could use a ppa to get 3.2 in 11.10. Bit of a risk though15:57

astraljavaSo umm... do-release-upgrade -d doesn't work anymore?19:41
=== ubuntu_ is now known as mateobur___
mateobur___I'm trying to install 12.0419:41
mateobur___but the system is stuck in "removing conflicting files..."19:42
mateobur___any clues?19:42
penguin42astraljava: What happens?19:42
astraljavaAn unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:19:43
astraljavaE:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be19:43

astraljavaI disabled all 3rd party repositories.19:44
bjsniderdo a dist-upgrade19:44
bjsniderand -f install19:44
mateobur___anyone knows how to unblock this_19:44
DaekdroomYou disabled them?19:44
DaekdroomDid you revert any packages?19:44
astraljavaDaekdroom: I did not.19:44
Daekdroomdo-release-upgrade itself would revert it once it disabled the 3rd party repos, I think.19:45
astraljavaDaekdroom: Yeah. I tried first as-is, but since it didn't work, I disabled them all in hopes of getting further. No go.19:45
astraljavaDaekdroom: The sad thing about it, is that I find no explanation to why this happens.19:46
bjsniderastraljava, what happens if you try apt-get dist-upgrade?19:49
astraljavabjsnider: I was just about to say that I'll try that, as I won't have this machine for longer than few days anymore anyway. :)19:49
astraljavabjsnider: Oh, you meant right after running do-release-upgrade -d ?19:50
bjsniderright now19:50
karencan I get help with 12?19:50
astraljavabjsnider: Nothing happens. No breakage in packages.19:50
penguin42karen: Explain what the problem is19:51
karenAny ideals on how to get my microphone to work? I tried all jacks (only two)19:51
karensound works fine19:51
bjsniderastraljava, try ppa-purging your disabled ppas19:52
astraljavabjsnider: Yeah, good idea, thanks!19:52
karenok let me try this, is there any special software I need to install? I'm using a compaq evo D series (old computer I know)19:55
karenhmmm I guess no body knows, thanks anyway.19:56
Zoffixkaren, are you trying to hear it from the speakers, or are you recording into something?19:57
penguin42karen: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems might be a start19:57
karenskype19:57
ZoffixAh.19:57
* Zoffix shrugs19:57
penguin42karen: It might be best to try with something other than skype first - it can be a bit odd19:58
karenI need to make a phone call and this is the only computer I have at the time for the windows failed on it.19:58
karenlike what?19:58
bjsnidertroubleshoot that as a skype issue rather than a mic issue19:58
_r00t_g'day... How can I tell if I'm running the very latest 12.04 beta ?19:58
guntbert_r00t_: and don't irc as root19:59
Zoffix_r00t_, I'm guessing sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade19:59
penguin42karen: Not sure, maybe gnome sound recorder or something similar19:59
_r00t_Zoffix, is there anyway to tell other than that ?19:59
Zoffix_r00t_, um... What kind of info are you looking in particular?20:00
karenok, that's what I was asking if there was something else I can download, for I don't know about this system. I use to use ubuntu 10.10 and it was a lot better.20:00
_r00t_guntbert, there's absiolutely no issue IRCing as root. Especially if you're using windows ;)20:00
Zoffixlol20:00
_r00t_Zoffix, I don't want to download the new cd you see20:01
guntbert_r00t_: update your system, no need for the new CD20:01
Zoffix_r00t_, not really following...20:02
Zoffix_r00t_, maybe you're looking for sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -s upgrade     That would run it in "simulate" mode, and you'll see if any packages are out of date.20:02
_r00t_ok thanks20:03
bjsniderjust keep doing updates a couple times a day and you'll be up to date. it's not a big deal20:05
_r00t_thanks bjsnider ... I'm doing an upgrade now - 300 odd packages are coming my way20:06
bjsnideryou can check what distro you're currently using with lsb_release -rs20:06
karenone more thing, I noticed I can't change anything! How do I change the panel? Like the icons on left, I whether have it on bottom and have pink as the color, but options or right click!20:07
astraljavabjsnider: Sadly, didn't help. Thanks anyway!20:07
karenaren't available20:07
karenlike with 10.1020:07
Zoffixkaren, you can log out and select the "GNOME Classic" as session.20:08
bjsniderastraljava, there's a dpkg log you can check for more detail20:08
CestSebastianhi, i am having some issues with ubuntu 12.04 and gnome shell classic ( or gnome fallback), the panels appear over the flash content when flash is fullscreened. Anyone know how to fix this?20:08
Zoffixkaren, then it'd be almost the same as before.. To add to the panel you might have to do Super+Alt+Right Click or just Alt+Right Click20:08
bjsnideryeah, don't use gnome fallback20:08
astraljavabjsnider: There's no mention of the failing parts in do-release-upgrade -d inside the regular /var/log/dpkg.log, are you referring to some other log file for dpkg?20:10
CestSebastiananother issue in gnome classic is that alt + tab doesn't work, when hitting alt + tab the focus moves within the application as if alt wasn't pressed at all. is there a fix for this?20:10
ZoffixCestSebastian, that doesn't happen to me :/20:11
ZoffixUmmm.. never mind actually, it might be because I'm also using openbox20:11
_r00t_Does anyone have a very good understanding of how do-release-upgrade works ?20:12
DaekdroomGood lord. hud-service process is eating 157MiB20:13
trismCestSebastian: might try the (no effects) session as a workaround, I only see the panels over the video in the compiz session (and maybe there is some compiz setting to fix that)20:13
CestSebastiani'll install compiz and see what can be done, thanks trism20:14
bjsniderastraljava, try /var/log/dist-upgrade20:18
ZoffixHey. Is there a way to make "zappcrash" NOT open gedit with crash's text?20:21
ZoffixGod, talk about annoying >_<20:24
astraljavabjsnider: Yeah I found that just recently, apparently some others have had problems with it too. There's one interesting line in main.log:20:25
astraljava2012-03-31 23:18:49,581 DEBUG failed to SystemUnLock() (E:Not locked)20:25
astraljavabjsnider: Ooohhh.... apt.log is riddled with broken packages.20:29
astraljavaOk, I believe this calls for a bug report with the apt.log as an attachment.20:30
Spartan29hallo20:31
Spartan29 I've a trouble. I can't share files from linux to windows, files are in a folder of an NTFS partition mounted on boot time. What i see is that i can't change folder and than in it contained files. Can someone help me?20:31
bjsniderastraljava, probably it's specific to your system rather than an actual bug20:33
shaneo1Hi is anyone here familiar with jack headphone detecting for 12.04 beta 220:37
shaneo1I raised a bug for alpha2, beta 1 and now beta 2, but nothing seems to be happening with it.  When the headphones are plugged in the speaker audio does not mute.  It used to work fine in 11.1020:38
shaneo1https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/94121920:38
ubottuLaunchpad bug 941219 in alsa-driver (Ubuntu) "Speaker Sound does not disable when Headphones are connected. Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2" [Undecided,Confirmed]20:38
shaneo1Yes I raised the bug20:38
astraljavabjsnider: Well, I guess we'll see if someone actually looks into triaging it.20:39
shaneo1is there a dedicated audio team I can speak with to hasten it, seems to be an issue on more than just my laptop,  have the same issue with my HP desktop at work20:40
skyballvideo is out of sync?20:49
CestSebastiancan't find any compiz config related to flash fullscreen20:49
blamihi, anybody with multihead laptop setup (12.04)?21:33
guntbert!anyone | blami21:34
ubottublami: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll.21:34
_r00t_blami how many monitors21:34
blami_r00t_: lvds (laptop panel) + one external will be fine. I run into situation when my laptop without external monitor was suspended, then docked (that means also connected to external dvi display) and awaken21:36
blami_r00t_: screen lock is shown on lvds (I assume it's okay) but my desktop is already shown on external display even without unlocking it21:37
blamiguntbert: sorry21:38
_r00t_cool have you search launchpad ?21:38
blami_r00t_: I don't have http here in my office21:39
blami_r00t_: only irc :/21:39
guntbertblami: no reason to be sorry, I only wanted to to ask :-)21:39
blami_r00t_: is it already reported as bug?21:44
astraljavabjsnider: Right, there was a problem with rhythmbox, which was resolved by simply purging it from my system. Version conflict between that and rhythmbox-data.21:47
bjsniderastraljava, cool21:55
hosokahello all21:59
hosokaneed to report that upgrading to this testing 12.04 with only the lubuntu-core from 10.10 will install the lubuntu-desktop package. This should not happen.22:00
hosokaOn the other side it looks like when choosing for gdm as autologin feature to escape the login you need to enable the lxdm first prior for upgrading to any version of Lubuntu upwards.22:01
hosokaIf not you may encounter the issue where the autologin feature will be disabled.22:02
hosokaFurther more I have noticed that while have selected for the lxdm display manager at 11.10 and upgraded to 12.04 the autologin feature seems to be enabled by default.22:03
hosokathis is realy what I have wanted all the time.22:03
hosokaAlthough when looking at the system and then Accounts setup I see that the password needs to be asked at login which is very strange to see that.22:04
hosokaIf developers can have a look into this.22:05
Guest54522I'm digging the latest Ubuntu 12.04, pretty nice22:26
Guest54522one thing though... I'm not sure why it's going to take 500 Mb just to install wine22:27
Guest54522hmm22:27
Guest54522any suggestions?22:27
jbichaGuest54522: on amd64, it has to download a bunch of x86 libraries22:28
jbichayou're using 64-bit Ubuntu, right?22:28
Guest54522yeah22:28
Guest54522amd6422:28
Guest54522I guess I could compile it for my machine.  I konw that would be a lot of work, but i like to run ilte22:29
Guest54522I'm liking this release way better than the last22:30
kklimondaGuest54522: it won't change the fact that you need all those libraries to run wine22:30
kklimondaGuest54522: so you'll end up with over 500M of dependencies anyway22:31
Guest54522I was thinkig that most of those dependencies are x86 and if I compile it for 64bit then it use less22:32
kklimondaGuest54522: wine has to be compiled as a 32bit binary to run 32bit windows binaries22:32
Guest54522oh oh oh...22:33
Guest54522thanks22:33
Guest54522light went on22:33
Guest54522okay xhcat is really nice22:44
Guest54522I just figured out that i can connect to multiple servers at once22:45
Guest54522oh yeah22:45
Zoffixlol22:47
fainaHi, 12.04 cant connecting to my works wpa2-enterprise network, while 11.10 can. Should I be reporting this as a bug on launch pad?23:10

ZoffixChrist, how are you supposed to setup printers now?23:45
ZoffixThe only thing I seem to be able to do is to add my printer, but I need to configure it and point it to proper PPD :(23:46
ZoffixThis reminds me of my Windows Vista experience.... File manager was left without an "Up Level" button, setting stuff up is akin to navigating a labyrinth of options.23:47
Seven_Six_Twonvidia 6800gt, recommended binary driver, dual-head. After being on for a while, my monitors go black after a few seconds until I move my mouse. gnome-screensaver and xscreensaver are uninstalled. nothing in power settings points to blanking screen (it happens less than a minute after moving mouse). I've got ubuntu installed (upgraded from fresh 11.10), but I'm using KDE right now.23:48
Seven_Six_TwoI've only noticed the blanking in KDE so far, as it just started yesterday (big update). I'll give unity and gnome shell a try, unless someone else knows about the problem.23:49
Dr_willisZoffix,  the cups web interface is still the same as its been for years i belive.23:49
Seven_Six_Twonothing in xorg.0.log, syslog, and dmesg23:50
ZoffixDr_willis, hm, never used the web interface. I've used this tool before, and I installed it from that page, but have no idea WHERE to lunch it from now :S https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/precise/system-config-printer-gnome/23:50
Dr_williswebinterface is like all ive ever used for years.23:51
Dr_willishttp://localhost:631 i belive.23:51
ZoffixDr_willis, seems like it, thanks... Let's see here.23:52
Dr_williswith my brother printer. :) i have to do very little configuring..23:52
MCRSeven_Six_Two: there is a tool called Caffeine: An application to temporarily prevent the activation of both23:53
MCR the screen saver and the "sleep" powersaving mode.23:53
MCRit worx nice here, but I am not sure if it works on KDE23:53
MCRSeven_Six_Two: https://launchpad.net/caffeine23:54
Seven_Six_TwoMCR, I'll give it a shot, although there is no screensaver process running. (and it blanks quicker than a minute)23:54
ZoffixYey :)23:57
MCRSeven_Six_Two: I remember having similar troubles once (it was more than a minute though), with running Caffeine the monitors never go to sleep anymore ;)23:57
ZoffixDr_willis, thanks. I got my printer working :)23:57
MCRSeven_Six_Two: this is also nice for advanced power management control: http://www.jupiterapplet.org/23:57
Dr_willisthe gui printer config tools always seem lacking compared to the cups web interface23:57
bjsnidercups web interface is too complex for average users23:59
bjsniderand most other people23:59
Seven_Six_TwoMCR, looks interesting. Prob is with a desktop, but that may be useful for laptop. thanks23:59
