| Darxus | I just switched to gnome classic for the first time in this precise install, and alt-tab doesn't work? | 03:08 |
|---|---|---|
| Darxus | And I'm apparently not the only one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1953792 | 03:13 |
| scientes | Darxus, i use gnome-shell | 04:53 |
| scientes | oh wait ur using gnome classic | 04:53 |
| scientes | wow | 04:53 |
| Darxus | ? | 05:02 |
| scientes | i thought you said you switched FROM gnome-classic, i.e. upgrade | 05:20 |
| scientes | and were just complaining over the new alt-tab behavior that some people dislike | 05:21 |
| Darxus | No. I was looking for a @#%!@# menu of applications to go through to see if they worked with wayland. | 05:25 |
| Darxus | Although I do also find the unity alt-tab behavior infuriating, not being able to get back to a specific gnome-terminal without waiting for it to shitf the view. | 05:26 |
| Darxus | But the alt-tab bug is known: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971051 | 05:27 |

| Yaaaaaa | is it possible to install an oneiric package in precise? | 06:11 |
| scientes | Yaaaaaa, yes, but not all packages | 06:15 |
| scientes | cause you might break your system | 06:16 |
| scientes | Yaaaaaa, what package? | 06:16 |
| Yaaaaaa | scientes: gtkpod | 06:16 |
| Yaaaaaa | I just found a guide about apt showpkg packagename but there is only the one I have installed available I need the one from oneiric ( the new one just crashes) | 06:17 |
| scientes | Yaaaaaa, it wont work with an iPod that has been connected to iTunes at all recently if you do that | 06:17 |
| Yaaaaaa | I've never connected it to itunes | 06:17 |
| scientes | Yaaaaaa, you should report that bug | 06:18 |
| Yaaaaaa | it just crashes all the time. and all the time on "add files" | 06:18 |
| scientes | sudo apt-get install gtkpod-dbg gdb | 06:18 |
| Yaaaaaa | oneiric it worked fine. | 06:18 |
| scientes | and then launch it with gdb gtkpod | 06:18 |
| scientes | then type "run" | 06:18 |
| scientes | and after it crashes type "bt" | 06:18 |
| scientes | and then copy the backtrace and report a bug with a copy of it | 06:18 |
| scientes | Yaaaaaa, it doesn't exactly work like that, there are many thing that could be causing it to crash, and they might not be the top lvl binary at all | 06:21 |
| scientes | (although you can try) | 06:21 |
| scientes | it would really help if you got a backtrace | 06:21 |
| Yaaaaaa | working on it | 06:21 |
| scientes | by fallowing those instruction i gave | 06:21 |
| scientes | awesome! | 06:21 |
| scientes | it might be doing it itsself if you get that "error happened" window | 06:22 |
| scientes | but the manual way also works | 06:22 |
| Yaaaaaa | http://paste.ubuntu.com/918468/ | 06:22 |
| scientes | dont see that one here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtkpod/+bugs | 06:24 |
| scientes | so you should report it with "ubuntu-bug gtkpod" | 06:24 |
| Yaaaaaa | what does it mean? | 06:24 |
| scientes | i cant tell | 06:24 |
| scientes | does the program say anything right before or after that? | 06:25 |
| scientes | cause libc is giving an error "raise" | 06:25 |
| scientes | we should get what that error is | 06:25 |
| scientes | the program might print it when it is dying | 06:25 |
| Yaaaaaa | no it just dies when I select the folder I want to add to my ipod | 06:25 |
| Yaaaaaa | completely closes and prints some crap to the terminal | 06:26 |
| scientes | what does it print, paste that | 06:26 |

| scientes | well try this http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/universe/g/gtkpod/gtkpod_2.1.0-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/universe/g/gtkpod/gtkpod-data_2.1.0-1ubuntu1_all.deb | 06:28 |
| scientes | and do "ubuntu-bug gtkpod" and then copy everything youve pasted so far into it, along with what you said you did when it crashed | 06:29 |
| scientes | http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/gtkpod | 06:29 |
| scientes | <Yaaaaaa> what does it mean? | 06:31 |
| scientes | the backtrace says what the program was doing when it crashed, to some degree, helps people know where to look for problems | 06:31 |
| scientes | #9 0x00007fffe77be747 in add_selected_dirs | 06:32 |
| scientes | precisely what you said :P | 06:32 |
| Yaaaaaa | how do I install that .deb since I have newer ver installed already | 06:33 |
| scientes | use dpkg -i | 06:33 |
| scientes | *sudo dpkg -i | 06:33 |
| Yaaaaaa | I never meant to upgrade to precise early >.< I thought it came out april 1st so Iclicked "update" | 06:33 |
| scientes | well the only thing that makes it ready to release, is people reporting bugs and getting them fixed | 06:33 |
| Yaaaaaa | I don't have a launchpad account | 06:35 |
| Yaaaaaa | or I would | 06:35 |

| MCR | Anyone who got xorg-edgers PPA installed on 12.04 and has Intel gfx ? | 10:34 |
| MCR | Yesterdays xorg-server update killed X for me. Purging the PPA would mean a lot of work as it suggests to remove loads of installed packages. | 10:36 |
| astraljava | Sadly I just returned the laptop a few days ago. :-/ | 10:36 |
| MCR | astraljava: Hi. My 12.04 installation is not blessed :P | 10:36 |
| astraljava | MCR: Hmm... tricky. Can you pastebinit the Xorg.0.log ? | 10:36 |
| MCR | I am on another physical machine right now, so it would be complicated... | 10:37 |
| astraljava | MCR: It's also possible that the edgers just haven't kept up, but will do so in a few days. | 10:37 |
| astraljava | MCR: You don't have ssh access to it? | 10:37 |
| MCR | yes I know. That is my hope. Or my hope was to wake up, make an update and have X back again, but no. | 10:38 |
| astraljava | Oh, this isn't ufoai channel. Heh. :) | 10:38 |
| htorque | purging the ppa is as simple as downgrading the packages, that shouldn't remove other packages. | 10:39 |
| htorque | "sudo apt-get install foo/precise" will downgrade to the precise version of foo. | 10:39 |
| MCR | htorque: It suggests to remove many other packages, so I did not do it yet... | 10:40 |
| MCR | I am trying to get in contact with ricotz, who maintains the PPA - I will wait for his suggestion... | 10:41 |
| MCR | Just wanted to know if I'm alone ;) | 10:41 |
| astraljava | MCR: "You'll never walk alone..." :D | 10:42 |
| * astraljava is somewhat of a 'pool fan | 10:42 | |
| MCR | The funny stuff: I am on Linux Mint 9 (Ubuntu 10.04) here now, Docky is working perfectly here and startup time of the system is incredible fast. Emerald worx also, maybe the best solution is to go back :-D | 10:43 |
| MCR | but I want Unity back :) | 10:43 |
| astraljava | Well, sure, but it'll only be supported for another year anymore. :) | 10:43 |
| MCR | yes, was just joking. | 10:44 |
| astraljava | Yep. :) | 10:44 |
| MCR | Patience seems to be the key here... | 10:45 |
| * MCR is not very patient unfortunately... | 10:45 | |
| astraljava | Especially over the Easter it might be. I believe not many people are working on the release atm. | 10:45 |
| MCR | yep - probably:-/ | 10:46 |

| Almindor | hey | 11:28 |
| Almindor | I just updated to 12.04 beta and am seeing 2 visual issues, wondering if this is known | 11:28 |
| Almindor | 1st is that my java/swing application's main menu is themed wrongly (almost invisible now, font of unselected menu is black on black) | 11:28 |
| Almindor | if I select the menu it's white | 11:29 |
| Almindor | second is an odd "multiplication" of scrollbacks if I scroll , I noticed this only in the android SDK application | 11:29 |
| Almindor | system is x86_64 with nvidia GTS 250 (binary driver) | 11:29 |
| Almindor | anyone else had these kind of visual issues? | 11:30 |
| Onlyodin | Almindor, have you tried the noveau drivers? | 11:32 |
| Almindor | no, I use 3d capabilities (gaming, development, shaders) which the noveau wouldn't provide | 11:33 |
| Almindor | the swing menu thing looks like a java/swing theming bug to me tho | 11:34 |
| Onlyodin | Understood, but perhaps you should try the noveau driver to confirm it's not that. | 11:34 |
| Almindor | well I can do a swintcher and see | 11:34 |
| stegbth | hello everybody | 11:38 |
| stegbth | how does the udev rules work? | 11:38 |
| stegbth | there are some /etc/udev/rules.d/ | 11:38 |
| lucas-arg | hey guys, im having problems with ubuntu startup, sometimes it stops booting with caps lock key blinking... | 11:39 |
| penguin42 | lucas-arg: how often? | 11:39 |
| stegbth | other are in /lib/udev/rules.d | 11:39 |
| lucas-arg | penguin42: pretty often... i have to restart the pc to boot normally | 11:40 |
| lucas-arg | penguin42: i thought i was something related with wifi or something like that | 11:40 |
| lucas-arg | penguin42: im lost | 11:40 |
| penguin42 | lucas-arg: And how far does it get before it dies? | 11:40 |
| lucas-arg | penguin42: not too much, ive disable splash screen to try to check where is the problem | 11:41 |
| Almindor | it seems both the visual problems happen with all 3 drivers (nvidia-current, nvidia-updates and the oss driver) | 11:41 |
| === arand is now known as arand_ | ||
| === arand_ is now known as arand__ | ||
| Almindor | I'm unable to screenshot the tearing of the scrollbar tho | 11:42 |
| Almindor | it refreshes the window on printscreen it seems | 11:42 |
| lucas-arg | i think its an ubuntu kernel problem, i havent have this issue with anyother distribution but ubuntu brand... even mint | 11:44 |
| Almindor | managed to get a screenshot with timeout function | 11:45 |
| Almindor | http://derp.co.uk/89ac3 | 11:47 |
| Almindor | http://derp.co.uk/a2907 | 11:47 |
| penguin42 | lucas-arg: Yeh a crash with flashing keyboard lights is normally a kernel panic - it's quite difficult to debug when it only happens sometimes and very early; if you can disable the splash and stuff then you have a chance of being able to catch the text of the panic and that might tell you what it is caused by | 11:48 |
| lucas-arg | penguin42: is there any log file i can check at least paste so someone can find out whats going wrong?? I think its a wifi card issue, since gnome-networkmanager was working awefull for me i had to uninstall it and use wicd | 11:50 |
| penguin42 | lucas-arg: That depends how far it gets and how it crashes (and whether it has a chance to write to the disk) | 11:51 |
| penguin42 | lucas-arg: You could check /var/log/kern.log or /var/log/dmesg* | 11:51 |
| lucas-arg | penguin42: ill check them when i get the crash.... | 11:52 |
| penguin42 | lucas-arg: But it's probably best if you try and get the boot to always show you the boot messages so that when it next fails you can see it | 11:54 |
| lucas-arg | penguin42: i deleted quiet splash from the kernel boot options... | 11:55 |
| penguin42 | lucas-arg: You might try the nt.handoff= as well | 11:56 |
| penguin42 | vt | 11:56 |
| lucas-arg | penguin42: whats that option for | 11:56 |
| penguin42 | lucas-arg: Not entirely sure, but it's virtual terminals | 11:57 |

| osirisx11 | astraljava: http://pastebin.com/u6VM6tJa my lsusb | 12:22 |
| astraljava | Kyshtynbai: Most likely libgtk2.0-dev | 12:23 |
| Kyshtynbai | thanks | 12:25 |
| astraljava | osirisx11: I'm not sure whether this'll work, I'm not seeing any promising lines from that, but try these instructions: http://ricardocabello.com/blog/post/533 | 12:26 |
| astraljava | osirisx11: Oh, just noticed it's quite outdated. | 12:26 |
| spacebug- | is there no icon for user account indicator for the ubuntu-mono-light theme? Changing from Ambiance to Radiance makes all other icons go dark (since the menu goes light) but that icon is still light and hard to see | 12:26 |
| astraljava | osirisx11: But the midisport-firmware package seems to be in precise, still, so it's worth a shot. | 12:27 |
| astraljava | osirisx111: Also, if you stumble into problems getting it work, I found the link @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1603512, there are helpful further explanations on how to use it. | 12:28 |
| Daekdroom | spacebug-, that icon will change when you start Unity again, I believe | 12:28 |
| Almindor | what was added in 12.04 that interferes with alt+[q, w or e for example]? | 12:29 |
| osirisx111 | astraljava: yeah.. it isn't showing in lsusb.. but i know it is connected to usb because it is powered BY usb and it is on | 12:29 |
| Almindor | it's virtually a game-breaker feature (many games use alt + key for quickslots etc. essential stuff, example one is Heroes of Newerth where alt+q no longer works) | 12:29 |
| stegbth | hm, when i connect a smartcard reader, /dev/ttyUSB0 get owned by group dialout, insteat of pcscd. even when i have 40-libifd-cyberjack6.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/ | 12:30 |
| osirisx111 | ill try restarting | 12:30 |
| stegbth | there i have ATTR{idVendor}=="0c4b", ATTR{idProduct}=="0100", and lsusb shows me the device as 0c4b:0100 | 12:30 |
| spacebug- | Daekdroom: hum ok | 12:31 |
| stegbth | why does this happen? | 12:31 |
| Almindor | ah it's the damn HUD | 12:31 |
| Almindor | I'd suggest you disable the thing by default, or at least don't catch ALT while fullscreen games are running (if at all detectable...) | 12:31 |
| osirisx11 | didn't work.. still does not show in lsusb! what could cause it to not show up at all in lsusb? | 12:33 |
| astraljava | osirisx11: Have you tried another USB port? Otherwise, I have no idea, sorry. | 12:34 |
| osirisx11 | i've tried two ports | 12:34 |
| astraljava | osirisx11: tail -f /var/log/syslog when you stick it in, maybe you will find some clues there. | 12:35 |

| termen | Hi all, I run ubuntu 12.04 and I have a problem/bug with my memory. The longer my machine runs, the fuller the memory gets and finally an application is killed to free memory. | 12:58 |
| penguin42 | termen: If you open the system monitor and look for things using lots of memory does something in particular grow over time? | 13:00 |
| jst | to install latest gnome 3.4 shall I add any ppa, or the packages in the repository are sufficient? | 13:01 |
| jst | i mean gnome shell 3.4 | 13:02 |
| penguin42 | jst: Think it's in the main repo | 13:02 |
| termen | if i close all applications, memory is not freed | 13:03 |
| termen | memory is "lost". no application is using it. | 13:03 |
| termen | when I restart my system i have ~1GB free. Then I use my system and after some time, there is arrount ~100MB free. (I use top watch my processes). | 13:05 |
| penguin42 | termen: OK, so if you are using top, get it to sort by memory used and see which process is growing | 13:06 |
| jst | penguin42, actually it is, but some packages are still 3.2 | 13:06 |
| jst | back to ubuntu after 4 months of arch :) | 13:06 |
| jst | ubuntu is so relaxing :) | 13:06 |
| penguin42 | haha, not tried Arch | 13:06 |
| jst | pengui42, actually it's very good... I enjoyed very much using it and learned a lot... but Ubuntu simply works :) | 13:07 |
| itaylor57 | jst, well i went to freebsd myself | 13:07 |
| jst | itaylor57, that will be the next step :) | 13:07 |
| termen | none specific. top says have plenty of unused ram: | 13:11 |
| termen | 23% java, 11% firefox, 5% empaty, 4% rytmbox, 10* <2%. total <1GB used. | 13:11 |
| termen | free reports: | 13:11 |

| termen | used mem: 1975288 | 13:11 |

| termen | buffers: 31856 | 13:11 |
| termen | cached: 23675 | 13:11 |
| termen | so somehow the memory is disappearing, isnt it? | 13:11 |
| penguin42 | termen: Please use pastebin for pasting large stuff! | 13:11 |
| termen | sorry. I will do so in future. | 13:12 |
| penguin42 | termen: So your 23% in Java seems quite a bit, the interesting thing is to get the same figures in an hour or so when it's nearer to being full and see what's grown | 13:13 |
| termen | @penguin42 as you can see from above free output, its almost full. i have only 100 mb free ram (plus 200mb cached), but applications use only about 1GB. That means, about 700MB of ram was "lost". | 13:15 |
| termen | within 4 hours of usage. | 13:15 |

| Atlantic777 | Hi! How safe it is to upgrade to 12.04 now? I need to do the upgrade on all of my machines but can't wait (I have a free week now...). Should I wait? | 13:25 |
| penguin42 | Atlantic777: Mostly it's OK but still hit a few things now and again and it could still break horribly | 13:28 |
| penguin42 | Atlantic777: I'd work one machine at a time starting with the one you'd least have a problem with if you had to fix it | 13:29 |
| penguin42 | Atlantic777: Are they all similar hardware? | 13:30 |
| Atlantic777 | penguin42: no, netbok (intel atom), amd64 mobile laptop, and amd64 (full) desktop | 13:31 |
| Atlantic777 | desktop is father's it has to work - always, there's 10.04 now | 13:31 |
| penguin42 | Atlantic777: Haha yes I know what you mean, I did my fathers machine a couple of days ago | 13:32 |
| Atlantic777 | I was about to start the clean install on all three. | 13:32 |
| penguin42 | Atlantic777: Do one at a time I'd say, it'll probably OK unless you hit a hardware-specific issue | 13:32 |
| Atlantic777 | penguin42: there's no some exotic hardware. I'm just worried about beta->release transition. | 13:33 |
| termen | Atlantic777: I would not upgrade you fathers machine, because of unity. | 13:33 |
| penguin42 | Atlantic777: Oh the release transition isn't normally a big problem; the bigger problem is whether there are still bugs being fixed that occasionally break something again | 13:33 |
| Atlantic777 | my bad, it's 11.04, with unity | 13:33 |
| Atlantic777 | that's not a problem | 13:33 |
| penguin42 | termen: Hey it always depends on the father :-) I gave him 12.04 install but put the MATE Gnome2 clone on it - he's happy | 13:34 |
| Atlantic777 | I should try MATE then... :) | 13:35 |
| termen | As always, it depends ... | 13:35 |
| Atlantic777 | well, after 2 years on gentoo, how horrible can it be with 12.04 bugs? :D | 13:36 |
| penguin42 | Atlantic777: Heck oh it'll be easy :-) | 13:36 |
| Atlantic777 | Then the problem is solved. Thanks. :) | 13:37 |
| doda | you don't need mate, gnome classic works fine | 13:37 |
| termen | is gnome classic still available in 12.04? | 13:38 |
| penguin42 | doda: Tried it, it's still not as classic as 2 | 13:38 |
| termen | penguin42: do you have an idea how to fix this memory issue? | 13:41 |
| penguin42 | termen: Sorry, missed your pastebin - just let me look at ti | 13:41 |
| penguin42 | termen: That 'free' isn't actually too bad - a lot of the memory is in the buffers/cache which will automatically free itself when needed, so don't worry about it; from the top it looks like the Java is the big boy, but repeat the same thing in a little while and see what's growing | 13:43 |
| topyli | after your machine runs for a while, linux will happily use all available memory and even swap some. it's not a problem | 13:48 |
| penguin42 | topyli: Yeh but he's getting some out-of-memories - and that shouldn't happen! So the trick is to figure out the figures that are important | 13:49 |
| topyli | sure, the kernel might have all kinds of memory management issues, but that's how it's designed to be. when it doesn't work, *then* there is a problem :) | 13:51 |

| atpa8a | hey | 15:28 |
| atpa8a | teach me some linux :P | 15:28 |
| atpa8a | latest kernel fails and reboot with xen... how can i capture the output? | 15:28 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: I thought you could get a text console with one of the xen command line tools; years since I used xen though | 15:57 |
| atpa8a | penguin42: the error happens when xen loads the kernel or initramfs | 15:57 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: How do you know? | 15:58 |
| atpa8a | by the messages... also 3.2.0-20 does load fine, but 3.2.0-22 fails | 15:59 |
| penguin42 | pastebin the messages? | 15:59 |
| atpa8a | that's what i need to figure out :) | 15:59 |
| atpa8a | for 3.2.0-22 it prints the panic (i think) and reboots | 16:00 |
| atpa8a | question is how can i capture that | 16:00 |
| penguin42 | oh, before you have the chance to capture it? | 16:00 |
| atpa8a | yup | 16:00 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: How are you starting it? | 16:00 |
| atpa8a | xen hypervisor then the kernel | 16:01 |

| penguin42 | atpa8a: what command are you using? | 16:02 |
| atpa8a | you mean? it's just grub | 16:02 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: Hang on a sec, is it the host that's rebooting or a xen guest? | 16:04 |
| atpa8a | the host | 16:04 |
| penguin42 | oh ok, sorry | 16:04 |
| atpa8a | np :) good thing it works with 3.2.0-20 and i can even start a couple of guests | 16:05 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: Try adding panic=120 to the command line, that should wait a couple of minutes before reboot | 16:05 |
| atpa8a | cool, will try | 16:06 |
| atpa8a | now... http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Assign_Hardware_to_DomU_with_PCIBack_as_module | 16:06 |
| atpa8a | trying to translate that to ubuntu | 16:06 |
| atpa8a | created /etc/modprobe.d/install-mpt2sas.conf | 16:06 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: You're trying to pass the RAID card to the guest? | 16:06 |
| penguin42 | hairy! | 16:07 |
| atpa8a | trying :) not sure will do that | 16:07 |
| atpa8a | didn't work with other distros | 16:07 |
| penguin42 | I'd get the rest to work solidly first! | 16:07 |
| atpa8a | just thought i've a guest setup, so might as well test it | 16:07 |

| Daekdroom | Let me check if it happens to me too | 16:13 |
| Daekdroom | Try updating | 16:13 |
| lucaspeng | already update to latest using main server. | 16:14 |
| Daekdroom | then it's not a fresh install ^o) | 16:14 |
| Daekdroom | Oh wait. I see what you mean. | 16:14 |
| Daekdroom | Well, it didn't crash for me. | 16:15 |

| Daekdroom | lucaspeng, that bug is a duplicate for a bug report that is marked as 'fix release' | 16:19 |

| AlfE_ | hello | 16:19 |
| atpa8a | penguin42: yes, but only 3.2.0-22 | 16:19 |
| atpa8a | penguin42: 3.2.0-20 works with or without | 16:19 |
| atpa8a | the modprobe.d trick itself doesn't seem to work | 16:20 |
| AlfE_ | i can't set usb storage devices to automatically mount everytime i plug them in | 16:20 |
| atpa8a | i've a hunch that it's somewhere in initramfs but update-initramfs doesn't seem to bring that module config into it | 16:20 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: OK, so add that panic=120 thing and see what 3.2.0-22 does | 16:20 |

| atpa8a | penguin42: didn't work if i add it to the kernel... let's see if it helps if i add it to the hypervisor | 16:24 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: I can't remember the details of how xen boots, you're probably best asking in a xen channel | 16:27 |
| atpa8a | i am :) | 16:27 |
| atpa8a | didn't help for the hypervisor either | 16:27 |
| atpa8a | penguin42: any comment on modprobe.d stuff? | 16:27 |
| lucaspeng | Daekdroom, I found the reason. I tried to use keybinding like Ctrl-Alt-Q, but windows manager interpret it as ctrl-q, so the window close. | 16:27 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: Nah, I've never tried to pass a device through | 16:28 |
| atpa8a | but just in general... am i doing it right? | 16:28 |
| lucaspeng | Daekdroom, but I always use this short cut in previous version. | 16:28 |
| atpa8a | penguin42: just the modprobe.d stuff :) not the specific modules | 16:29 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: I'd be tempted to add ' around the (...) bit, I've never used the softdep bit | 16:30 |
| atpa8a | penguin42: even install mpt2sas /sbin/modprobe etc. didn't work | 16:31 |
| atpa8a | wouldn't mpt2sas driver initialized in the initrd? | 16:31 |
| atpa8a | and thus before the modprobe gets into the picture? | 16:31 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: I'd think it would get pulled in in initrd, but I think update-initrd pulls various bits of config in, now where it pulls in the module config from I can't rmeember | 16:32 |
| atpa8a | ok :) penguin42, thanks a bunch | 16:33 |
| atpa8a | i'll see if i can make some sense out of it | 16:33 |
| atpa8a | hmm | 16:34 |
| atpa8a | it did pull my modprobe.d into the initrd... | 16:34 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: So is this what broke your .22 ? | 16:38 |
| atpa8a | nope | 16:38 |
| atpa8a | it wasn't working before i started messing with modprobe.d | 16:38 |
| georgelappies | hi all, when my screen goes into standby mode (switches of) one of the cores of the laptop starts running at max, as soon as I log back in it drops to normal. How can I determine what this process is thats doing this? | 16:38 |
| penguin42 | georgelappies: Can you login remotely via ssh? | 16:38 |
| atpa8a | penguin42: i got it i think! needed to add xen-pciback to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules | 16:40 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: Ah yeh, so it'll generally add all the modules you think you'll need to get your root and any other critical filesystems | 16:41 |

| Monotoko | hey guys | 16:45 |
| Monotoko | how do I set a screensaver in 12.04? | 16:45 |
| atpa8a | hmm | 16:47 |
| atpa8a | same result tho... | 16:47 |
| atpa8a | i can see the scsi card in the guest but a PV on the raid is not recognized | 16:48 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: Can you see partitions or other data on it? | 16:48 |
| atpa8a | hmm | 16:49 |
| penguin42 | or for that matter do the discs show up in /proc/scsi/scsi in the guest or /proc/partitions? | 16:49 |
| atpa8a | nothing in /proc/partitions | 16:50 |
| atpa8a | /proc/scsi/scsi is empty | 16:50 |
| penguin42 | does the mpt sas module load in the guest? | 16:50 |
| atpa8a | shows loaded | 16:50 |
| penguin42 | anything in dmesg from it? | 16:50 |
| penguin42 | (in the guest) | 16:50 |
| atpa8a | hmm | 16:51 |
| atpa8a | mpt2sas0: _base_event_notification: timeout | 16:51 |
| atpa8a | mpt2sas0: failure at drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas_scsih.c:7628/_scsih_probe()! | 16:51 |
| atpa8a | no worky :( same as with another distro host | 16:51 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: If I had to guess I'd guess at problems with interrupting mapping into the guest - it's not trivial | 16:52 |
| atpa8a | hmm | 16:52 |
| atpa8a | alright :) scratch that idea then | 16:53 |
| atpa8a | just wanted to retest in ubuntu | 16:53 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: It might be possible, don't know - things like some of the VT extensions on the hardware are supposed to help - but never tried to do it | 16:53 |
| atpa8a | seems like it's at best untested to pci passthru a scsi controller | 16:54 |
| atpa8a | penguin42: i've all the VT-d stuff in the hardware and iommu is enabled | 16:54 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: You've made sure the host hasn't loaded the mpt sas controller? | 16:54 |
| atpa8a | with the other distro (i think Arch) that i tried i got the same result | 16:55 |
| atpa8a | penguin42: yes, the pv/vg disappeared from the host | 16:55 |
| atpa8a | #xen said then that it's very untested | 16:55 |
| atpa8a | they mostly passthru vga cards and some such | 16:55 |
| atpa8a | which i imagine is a lot different then scsi controllers | 16:56 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: It looks like someone has managed it on KVM http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg14124.html | 16:57 |
| penguin42 | atpa8a: There are two challenges, the address mapping and the interrupt mapping | 16:57 |
| penguin42 | anyway, time for some TV | 16:59 |
| atpa8a | enjoy | 17:00 |
| atpa8a | thanks for your help | 17:00 |

| davidF | any help from anyone? :( | 17:59 |
| penguin42 | davidF: What error? | 18:02 |
| davidF | i do not recall off hand. I deleted the partition and am now retrying. | 18:03 |

| davidF | partition 1 on dev/sdb have been written but we have been unabke to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result | 18:09 |
| davidF | the old partitions will remain in use. You should probably restart before makibg further changes | 18:10 |
| davidF | hiw can i restart in the middle ofinstalling? | 18:10 |
| penguin42 | davidF: Hmm it shouldn't do that - were you running the installer on it's own or from the 'try ubuntu' bit ? | 18:10 |
| davidF | From try ubuntu. because of the error i got before, which was just a black screen woth an uunderscore, i found a tutorial to fix it by turning off... something, i forget it verbatim, but then it said expicitly to use try ubuntu | 18:13 |
| penguin42 | davidF: OK, make sure before you run the installer you haven't got any of the partitions on the disk mounted | 18:14 |
| davidf | oops ha ha | 18:17 |
| davidf | oha! this is the error i got! | 18:17 |
| davidf | executing 'grub-install/dev/sda' failed This is a fatal error | 18:18 |
| davidf | is this related to the black screen i got earlierk? | 18:19 |
| penguin42 | davidf: Don't think so; the black screen sounds like a graphics problem (given it was fixed with nomodeset), that sounds like a problem with grub/efi or something similar being a Mac - please file a bug | 18:20 |
| davidf | and then i get a x"installer crashed" notification. | 18:20 |
| penguin42 | davidf: So assuming you have a launchpad account, open a terminal and run ubuntu-bug ubiquity and it'll file the install logs | 18:21 |
| davidf | i will file a bug later. My internet is borked for awhile lol. whoch os why my Is are not capittalized and there aee letters next to punctuation | 18:22 |

| BarkingFish | yofel: I think Houston has a very big problem. Somewhere on one of our pools, the precise-security pool, there's a Sources file which is shot. | 20:41 |
| BarkingFish | I don't know who needs to sort this, whether it's me (something bogged at my end) or if this is a pool issue, I suspect it's the other end. | 20:41 |
| Jeruvy | Monotoko, you could try this, http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/10/enable-screensavers-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/ | 20:41 |
| yofel | BarkingFish: define "shot"... hash sum mismatch? | 20:42 |
| BarkingFish | I'l PM you the error message | 20:42 |
| Monotoko | Jeruvy, thank you... do you know why they removed screen savers? Are they planning to put them back or not? | 20:42 |
| Jeruvy | Monotoko, I advocated eliminating them, so I couldn't say with any certainty. Feel free to keep asking :) | 20:43 |
| Dizzi_ | bjsnider how exactly? >_> been a long, long time | 20:43 |
| bjsnider | Dizzi_, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log from a terminal | 20:43 |
| Monotoko | Jeruvy, reasoning? I thought they looked quite nice (not after a flame war or anything, just curious) | 20:43 |
| Jeruvy | Monotoko, I think they are a waste of resources. | 20:44 |
| Monotoko | Jeruvy, human resources or machine resources? | 20:44 |
| Jeruvy | Monotoko, machine :) | 20:44 |
| Dizzi_ | lokay bjsnider I've done that... what am I looking for? | 20:44 |
| Jeruvy | probably human also tho ;) | 20:45 |
| bjsnider | Dizzi_, just pastebin it | 20:45 |
| Monotoko | Jeruvy, I see... I'd just rather see something other than a blank screen when I press the ctrl+alt+L key - is there any way to set it so it just shows the prompt for the password? | 20:46 |
| Dizzi_ | bjsnider http://pastebin.com/Dvedpg7n I can see that it is reading my resolution right | 20:46 |
| Dizzi_ | but it is just not displaying it correctly | 20:46 |
| Jeruvy | Monotoko, you're asking the wrong guy. Sorry. | 20:46 |
| bjsnider | Dizzi_, you're using the vesa graphics driver, is what the issue is | 20:47 |
| bjsnider | use a real driver | 20:48 |
| Dizzi_ | Okay. is that because I'm on a macintosh? or just because it is a brand new install? | 20:49 |
| bjsnider | how old a mac is that? | 20:49 |
| Dizzi_ | 09 | 20:50 |
| ggreer | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_display#Screen_burn-in | 20:50 |
| bjsnider | even an old one should have underlying hardware that offers something better than vesa | 20:50 |
| ggreer | looks like plasma displays suffer from burn-in | 20:50 |
| Dizzi_ | okay. hwo would I change/update them? | 20:50 |
| bjsnider | Dizzi_, pastebin this command: lspci | 20:51 |
| Monotoko | ... how do I take a screenshot? I'm trying to report a bug, pressing the print screen key and nothing is coming up... has it changed from how it used to be? (I ran 10.04 up until a few days ago... so I'm trying to learn my way around, bear with me!) | 20:53 |
| Dizzi_ | http://pastebin.com/Hh5QxQfE | 20:53 |
| Monotoko | ahhh... it won't print screen while I'm right clicked -.- | 20:54 |
| Dizzi_ | lol | 20:54 |
| bjsnider | oh good. they picked nvidia and broadcom. no issues there... | 20:54 |
| bjsnider | i thought they used all-intel | 20:55 |
| Dizzi_ | late 2009 uses all intel I blieve, with the i5 processors etc. | 20:55 |
| Dizzi_ | mine is early 09 | 20:55 |
| bjsnider | well, the preferred driver for that stuff is nouveau. no idea why it isn't being autoselected | 20:55 |
| bjsnider | it should be in the aforementioned log, but you only pastebinned part of it | 20:56 |
| Dizzi_ | nope. that's everything that came up | 20:56 |
| bjsnider | no | 20:56 |
| bjsnider | you used cat | 20:57 |
| bjsnider | use gedit or something and you'll see all of it | 20:57 |
| Dizzi_ | unless I need to do cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log and then lspci in the same window? | 20:57 |
| ggreer | I'm trying to use the alternate installer and I get an error about no kernel modules found | 21:03 |
| Dizzi_ | oops | 21:03 |
| Dizzi_ | okay. so; how can I fix this issue bjsnider? | 21:04 |
| Dizzi_ | Would simply installing something from the software centre work? | 21:04 |
| Dizzi_ | I tried installing "firmware for nvidia graphics cards' | 21:05 |
| ggreer | this is the 12.04 beta 2 for i386 | 21:06 |
| Dizzi_ | going to try rebooting | 21:06 |
| bjsnider | Dizzi_, first pastebin the entire log | 21:07 |
| Dizzi_ | well... That didn't work at all | 21:13 |
| Dizzi_ | so, when installing: I had to use the 'nomodeset' command. and I need to do this every time I boot. Is this a part of the issue? | 21:14 |
| Dizzi_ | bjsnider Any other suggestions? | 21:16 |
| bjsnider | pastebin the whole xorg.0.og | 21:17 |
| Dizzi_ | I did :S | 21:18 |
| Dizzi_ | that was everything that is in the terminal | 21:18 |
| Dizzi_ | http://pastebin.com/Dvedpg7n | 21:19 |
| bjsnider | gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log select all copy paste into pastebin | 21:22 |
| Dizzi_ | http://pastebin.com/RH7kG2Wf | 21:23 |
| ggreer | wow, unetbootin will report success if you unplug the usb stick while it's copying files | 21:25 |
| Dizzi_ | that's a bug 0_o | 21:25 |
| ubottu | Error: Launchpad bug 0 could not be found | 21:25 |
| ggreer | well until recent versions it wouldn't even detect usb drives on OS X | 21:26 |
| Monotoko | lol ubottu | 21:26 |
| ggreer | so... it's gotten better over time | 21:26 |
| Dizzi_ | yeah, I'm on a mac right now and having some wierd issues | 21:27 |
| Dizzi_ | but my harddrives will be read simply | 21:27 |
| Dizzi_ | :P | 21:27 |
| mongo | hrm, shouldn't a kernel upgrade call m-a scripts? | 21:30 |
| mongo | the last kernel upgrade didn't kick off openvswitch-datapath-dkms | 21:33 |
| scientes | mongo, openvswitch is very new | 21:33 |
| scientes | mongo, therefore, its probably a bug | 21:33 |
| mongo | scientes: ya, trying to track it down, it may be due to ubuntu backporting vs. reving kernel version | 21:34 |
| scientes | yeah i thought vswitch was a 3.3 thing | 21:35 |
| scientes | and precise uses 3.2 | 21:35 |
| mongo | scientes: it's in the mainline in 3.3 | 21:35 |
| mongo | but it works fine in 3.2 | 21:35 |
| scientes | a workaround could be to use the mainline kernel ppa | 21:36 |
| scientes | and track the 3.3 kernel instead | 21:36 |
| mongo | na, no apparmor in the mainline kernel | 21:36 |
| bjsnider | Dizzi_, nomodeset is the problem | 21:36 |
| mongo | it works fine, I just have to run m-a | 21:36 |
| scientes | mongo, apparmor has been merged into mainline | 21:36 |
| Dizzi_ | ah. if I don't use nomodeset ubuntu doesn't boot... | 21:36 |
| mongo | scientes: ubuntu's doesn't work with the mainline aa | 21:37 |
| scientes | mongo, 3.4rc1 and 3.3rcX worked fine with precise for me | 21:37 |
| scientes | with no errors | 21:37 |
| scientes | unlike what i got with 3.2rcs on 11.10 before | 21:37 |
| mongo | scientes: did you have the ubuntu special sauce? | 21:37 |
| scientes | mongo, no, pure mainline | 21:38 |
| Dizzi_ | :( | 21:38 |
| scientes | Dizzi_, are you using nouveau, radeo, etc? | 21:38 |
| Dizzi_ | I don't think so? | 21:38 |
| scientes | <Dizzi_> I tried installing "firmware for nvidia graphics cards' | 21:39 |
| mongo | scientes: check to see if it did actually load profiles, mine would not as it wanted 3.2 compat | 21:39 |
| Dizzi_ | I did | 21:39 |
| scientes | AFAIK only radeon has a strong need for non-free firmware | 21:39 |
| scientes | mongo, well, i used bootchart and i apparmor parsing was very big cpu user | 21:39 |
| scientes | otherwise i dont really deal with apparmor | 21:39 |
| bjsnider | nouveau will not work unless kms is enabled | 21:39 |
| scientes | but i know some part of it got merged into mainline, and unlike 3.2 on maverick, i don't get any errors booting anymore | 21:40 |
| skel | with virt-manager / libvirtd, I used to be able to connect without root privs (ie. as my standard) it seems thats changed in 12.04. anyone know how I can get back to that config? | 21:40 |
| Dizzi_ | so, bjsnider, cann I enable kms with nomodeset ? | 21:40 |
| scientes | Dizzi_, no | 21:40 |
| Dizzi_ | well darn | 21:40 |
| scientes | Dizzi_, because nomodeset means "turn off kms" | 21:41 |
| bjsnider | nomodeset is telling the kernel kms=off | 21:41 |
| Dizzi_ | guess I'm SOL them | 21:41 |
| mongo | skel: add the user to the libvirtd group | 21:41 |
| Dizzi_ | *then | 21:41 |
| Dizzi_ | ah. gotcha | 21:41 |
| bjsnider | you'll have to find another way to boot that kernel | 21:41 |
| Dizzi_ | it will not boot with nomodeset on and I'm not experienced enough to know what to do ha ha | 21:41 |
| scientes | Dizzi_, you could try nvidia propritary, which doesn't use modesetting | 21:42 |
| bjsnider | Dizzi_, there are ubuntu wiki pages regarding special issues with crackbooks. you might find one for your flavour | 21:42 |
| bjsnider | eg, macbook 2,1 | 21:42 |
| mongo | I have iPXE booting net installs working on my local apt repo :) pretty sweet | 21:42 |
| scientes | mongo, i like apt-cacher-ng better | 21:42 |
| mongo | scientes: well I don't have the power to put files on the world repos | 21:42 |
| scientes | mongo, apt-cacher-ng just mean you dont have to download the whole thing | 21:43 |
| mongo | iPXE uses relitive paths so it has to live in the netboot tree | 21:43 |
| mongo | but yes if I had the power to put a single text file on the repo http net installs work great | 21:44 |
| scientes | mongo, again, just use apt-cacher-ng | 21:44 |
| mongo | scientes: it doesn't let you add files to the repo scientes | 21:44 |
| scientes | Dizzi_, did you see my suggestion? use nvidia propritary instead of nouveau, that might work | 21:44 |
| skel | mongo: same deal after usermod -G libvirtd <myuser> | 21:44 |
| mongo | I so use it for my hosts | 21:44 |
| mongo | skel: did you log out and back in? | 21:44 |
| Dizzi_ | no I didn't. I'll try that scientes | 21:45 |
| ggreer | "no packages matching running kernel 3.2.0-20-generic-pae in archive" | 21:45 |
| scientes | skel, yeah you have to log out and in, its annoying, but you have to do it | 21:45 |
| skel | mongo: completely or just open a new shell? | 21:45 |
| skel | hmm o | 21:45 |
| ggreer | I'm getting that with the 12.04 alternate installer :/ | 21:45 |
| skel | *ok | 21:45 |
| skel | brb | 21:45 |
| Dizzi_ | I'm assuming that is is "NVidia binary X.Org driver ('current' driver)" | 21:45 |
| scientes | skel, also realize, that adding yourself to libvirtd and then installing lxc is a massive security hole | 21:45 |
| scientes | (maybe i should report that) | 21:45 |
| scientes | Dizzi_, yes, nvidia-current | 21:47 |
| Dizzi_ | sweet. downloading | 21:47 |
| agoodm | very interesting | 21:47 |
| scientes | Dizzi_, that is propritary, which has alot of its own problems, so you should also report a problem with nouveau | 21:48 |
| mongo | scientes: http://pastebin.com/5jUhCEJP | 21:48 |
| scientes | agoodm, what? | 21:48 |
| agoodm | xorg-edgey ppa intel driver and related files provide MUCH better graphical performance on this x220, only one issue encountered so far | 21:48 |
| mongo | if that file existed as the url shoes (self ref) you can install via http and pxe boot | 21:48 |
| Dizzi_ | where do I report the problem? | 21:48 |
| Dizzi_ | first time using linus in years | 21:48 |
| scientes | mongo, whats even cooler, is booting the livecd over PXE/nfs | 21:48 |
| Dizzi_ | *linux | 21:48 |
| mongo | scientes: nfs requires nfs ;) this is all http :) | 21:49 |
| Dizzi_ | (And the first time I did not know what I was doing and wiped my sisters comouter ha ha... ha) | 21:49 |
| scientes | agoodm, xorg-edgers is great :P | 21:49 |
| scientes | mongo, i think i've done it with http with the fedora liveCD | 21:49 |
| skel | libvirtd group add helped, thanks guys =] | 21:49 |
| * skel salutes | 21:49 | |
| mongo | scientes: ya fedora/rhel allows a method= arg | 21:50 |
| agoodm | people suggested id run into severe problems and shouldnt use it unless I wanted to break my install, but ive experienced the opposite so far | 21:50 |
| scientes | skel, note what i said, adding to libvirtd can break your security, esp if you install lxc | 21:50 |
| scientes | ...which im wondering whether i should report | 21:50 |
| Dizzi_ | okay. I installed the nvidia drivers. should I reboot or is that all? | 21:50 |
| scientes | Dizzi_, yes, reboot cause you have nouveau module loaded, and thats the easiest way to unload it | 21:50 |
| Dizzi_ | okay. great. Fingers crossed! | 21:51 |
| Dizzi_ | and I won't need to use nomodeset correct, scientes? | 21:51 |
| ggreer | also, guided partitioning in the alternate installer creates no swap | 21:51 |
| ggreer | and the boot partition is tiny. only 250MB | 21:51 |
| mongo | ggreer: how much ram did you have? | 21:52 |
| ggreer | 1.5GB | 21:52 |
| mongo | 250 is ok for boot IMHO | 21:52 |
| scientes | Dizzi_, well, you should never need nomodeset, but yes, nvidia wont try to use kvm, as it doesn't support it | 21:52 |
| scientes | *kms | 21:52 |
| ggreer | with enough kernel upgrades it gets full | 21:52 |
| ggreer | and with a 160GB hard drive, why not be safe and make 512MB for /boot? it's less than 1% of the size of the drive | 21:53 |
| ggreer | *less than one half of one percent | 21:53 |
| mongo | ya, they should be marking them obsolete | 21:53 |
| * scientes doesn't use /boot | 21:53 | |
| scientes | unless you want dm-crypt | 21:53 |
| ggreer | I do | 21:53 |
| ggreer | that's why I'm trying to get this alternate installer working | 21:53 |
| mongo | ggreer: when you have 100's of guests that adds up :) | 21:53 |
| scientes | ggreer, there is also ecryptfs, which doesn't slow down programs the same | 21:53 |
| scientes | ggreer, which is what the regular installer supports | 21:54 |
| ggreer | the regular installer only let me encrypt my user directory | 21:54 |
| scientes | ggreer, ecryptfs can be setup other ways | 21:54 |
| scientes | ggreer, but yes, home direcyory only usually | 21:54 |
| scientes | ggreer, but with the evil maid attack on the kernel still open, it doesn't really make much difference | 21:55 |
| scientes | unless you keep sensitive stuff in your /etc or /var | 21:55 |
| ggreer | or swap | 21:55 |
| ggreer | it's really easy to leak data out of your home directory | 21:55 |
| mongo | to be fair apps shove lots of sensitive stuff in /etc and /var | 21:55 |
| scientes | ggreer, if you use encrypted home it will encrypt your swap | 21:55 |
| mongo | like pain text passwords | 21:55 |
| mongo | err plain | 21:55 |
| scientes | and the big gain on those is ptrace protections | 21:55 |
| scientes | which ubuntu now has with the mainlines yama security module | 21:56 |
| scientes | otherwise programs can just sniff the passwords out of another apps's ram | 21:57 |
| scientes | e.g. firefox passwords would be accessable to any process running as the same user, even if you set a master password | 21:57 |
| scientes | but not anymore with ptrace protections (if you use a master password, or maybe integration with seahorse(?)) | 21:57 |
| ggreer | I thought you have to be root to read another the address space of another process | 21:58 |
| mongo | scientes: I just confirmed that the mainline kernel ppa is not enforcing aa profiles | 21:59 |
| Dizzi_ | It worked! thanks people! | 21:59 |
| scientes | ggreer, man ptrace | 21:59 |
| scientes | ggreer, certain programs can disallow it explicitely | 22:00 |
| scientes | which openssh does for example | 22:00 |
| scientes | but the yama says you can only ptrace child processes, unless you are root | 22:00 |
| scientes | (or some CAP_SYS) | 22:00 |
| scientes | which means that strace FOO, and ltrace foo, and gdb foo, still work | 22:01 |
| scientes | but not strace -p PID, gdm -p FOO, etc | 22:01 |
| ggreer | the manpage says it only works for child processes? | 22:01 |
| mongo | (Kernel needs AppArmor 2.4 compatibility patch.) | 22:01 |
| scientes | ggreer, " Since Ubuntu 10.10, PTRACE_ATTACH is not allowed against arbitrary matching-uid processes. The traced "child" must be | 22:02 |
| scientes | a descendant of the tracer or must have called prctl(2) using PR_SET_PTRACER, with the pid of the tracer (or one of | 22:02 |
| scientes | its ancestors). For more details, see /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf. | 22:02 |
| scientes | " | 22:02 |
| scientes | thats been mainlined | 22:03 |
| ggreer | this alternate installer is driving me crazy. I'm trying to select "physical volume for encryption" and it silently selects "do not use the partition" | 22:04 |
| agoodm | I wish the dash search thing was a bit faster | 22:08 |
| scientes | agoodm, use "locate" | 22:08 |
| agoodm | presently when I hit super syn and press enter ive pressed enter too fast for it to realise I want synaptic (the first result) and have to press enter again... | 22:09 |
| scientes | gord, works with gnome-shell | 22:09 |
| agoodm | if I do it slower it works first time | 22:10 |
| agoodm | like I just installed gconf editor and cus I wasnt sure if id get the right result I was slower | 22:10 |
| agoodm | super gconf enter and bam in there | 22:10 |
| ggreer | another bug in the installer: I can only select US time zones | 22:17 |
| agoodm | im more frustrated by the mouse acceleration situation :( | 22:17 |

| ActionParsnip | hi guys, If I log into Unity2D and run: compiz --replace the dash doesn't appear.Has anyone seen this? | 23:29 |
| spacebug- | compiz is not used in unity-2d right? | 23:32 |
| Daekdroom | spacebug-, you can use it. | 23:32 |
| spacebug- | ok | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | spacebug-: no, but it appears Unity isn't an option in my login screen | 23:33 |
| Daekdroom | To be honest, I think unity-2d is compatible with almost any window manager. | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | spacebug-: and compiz etc runs ok | 23:33 |
| Daekdroom | It's not a plug in to metacity like Unity is to compiz. | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | just a sec | 23:34 |
| wolfslord | I just updated my ubuntu 12.04 and Gogle Chrome stoped running Flash | 23:34 |
| spacebug- | hum ok | 23:34 |
| wolfslord | any clues why? | 23:34 |
| wolfslord | also Firefox is not running flash, even with the plugin | 23:34 |
| Daekdroom | I had that issue with Flashplugin earlier, but there was an update to the package that fixed it. | 23:35 |
| Myrtti | well there is an update ^ | 23:35 |
| Daekdroom | and by earlier I meant today. | 23:35 |
| Myrtti | my chromium just complains "boo no plugin" | 23:36 |
| wolfslord | mine was working just fine, then I updated | 23:36 |
| wolfslord | and stoped working | 23:37 |
| wolfslord | i'm trying to reinstall the plugin to see if it works, but as Google Chrome doesn't use the plugin I don't know what to do | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | screw it, I'll stay 2D, it's faster anyway | 23:39 |
| wolfslord | So, does anyone knows what can I do to make Flash work again? | 23:40 |
| spacebug- | wolfslord: reinstall flashplugin-installer | 23:41 |
| len | Is is safe to upgrade to 12.04 beta2 if you're using fglrx drivers? | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfslord: can you give a pastebin of the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' | 23:41 |
| === jbroman is now known as jbroman_ | ||
| scientes | ActionParsnip, i don't know about you, but i have a hard time trying to be 2D | 23:42 |
| === jbroman_ is now known as jbroman | ||
| ActionParsnip | len: i'd uninstall them first, then upgrade then reinstall them | 23:42 |
| wolfslord | ok, i just reinstalled flashplugin and firefox is working again | 23:42 |
| wolfslord | let try with chrome | 23:42 |
| spacebug- | ActionParsnip: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop That should install the files again if they are screwed. Look in /usr/share/xsessions to see all you have installed | 23:42 |
| wolfslord | yeah, working too | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | spacebug-: I'm fine with 2D, it runs better anyway, plus no junky compiz breaking stuff :D | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfslord: nice | 23:43 |
| spacebug- | oh well ;) | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | spacebug-: Unity session is available, had to reinstall unity package but boots to wallpaper only | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | 2D is fine | 23:44 |
| spacebug- | I run 2D in virtualbox to get better performance | 23:44 |
| spacebug- | on desktop is not unity I would probably run gnome-fallback and cairo-dock | 23:45 |
| wolfslord | i shouldn't make diference since chrome (as i read) doesn't use flashplugin, but its working again. Strange | 23:45 |
| spacebug- | if* | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfslord: it will use it if it's available | 23:45 |
| wolfslord | well, that explains something | 23:45 |
| wolfslord | also in my gedit the name of the Go language is being tranlated to portuguese "Ir" | 23:46 |
| wolfslord | it should stay untranslated | 23:47 |
| Daekdroom | File a bug report. | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfslord: same in all editors? | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfslord: tried leafpad? | 23:48 |
| wolfslord | well I only use gedit | 23:48 |
| wolfslord | and its the only gui one I have here | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfslord: I gave another to try, see if its only affecting gedit.... | 23:49 |
| wolfslord | ok which should I install to test it | 23:50 |
| wolfslord | ? | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfslord: well....yeah | 23:50 |
| wolfslord | which one? | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | leafpad | 23:50 |
| wolfslord | I only know gedit | 23:50 |
| wolfslord | ok | 23:50 |
| wolfslord | let me do it | 23:50 |
| Q-FUNK | howdy! various commands keep on complainging about not being able to find /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 | 23:52 |
| Daekdroom | Q-FUNK, are you on 64-bitS? | 23:52 |
| Q-FUNK | 32 | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Q-FUNK: I dont have that in 32bit or 64bit | 23:53 |
| spacebug- | I have that lib under a 64bit directory | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | I do have /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | 23:53 |
| spacebug- | actually in three places | 23:53 |
| spacebug- | http://pastebin.com/xijVfZPR | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | http://paste.ubuntu.com/919737/ | 23:55 |
| wolfslord | ActionParsnip: i installed leafpad but it doesn't do syntax highlighting | 23:56 |
| spacebug- | Q-FUNK: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=precise&arch=any&mode=filename&searchon=contents&keywords=libc.so.6 this is the packages that file is in | 23:56 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfslord: yes but is the language correct? | 23:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Q-FUNK: that was 64bit, here is my 32bit install: http://paste.ubuntu.com/919739/ | 23:57 |
| wolfslord | yes | 23:57 |
| wolfslord | and so it is in gedit | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfslord: yes, we have now isolated the issue to gedit | 23:57 |
| wolfslord | gedit is trnalating wrong only the name of the Go prgramming language | 23:57 |
| wolfslord | when I choose syntax highlighting it is showing the name translated to portuguese (which is my systems language) | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfslord: sounds like a bug | 23:59 |
| wolfslord | but it should stay untranslated | 23:59 |
| spacebug- | Q-FUNK: try reinstalling libc6 | 23:59 |
| wolfslord | in fact there is a bug with the same issue for Scheme, Ruby and other languages | 23:59 |
