Roastedhello!00:05
RoastedIt seems as if 12.04's "users" panel is just users and not "users and groups" like before.00:05
RoastedNot sure why this fail was made, but how do I get the old GUI back to get group functionality working?00:06

Will123456in unity 5.10, is the dash -> HUD application icon animation gone?00:15
CaptainKnotsI must say that unity 5.10 is the first release that made me actually stop hating unity and start using it for everything instead00:18
Will123456CaptainKnots: i'm still hoping the bug i've been championing will get fixed in time, then i'll be happy :)00:18
CaptainKnotsI just have a bit of flickering when I rotate desktop cube00:19
RoastedCaptainKnots, I hear ya.00:19
CaptainKnotsI'm wondering if turning off 'sync to vblank' will fix it00:19
RoastedCaptainKnots, I was very vocal against Unity.00:19
RoastedCaptainKnots, but Unity in 12.04 has released my death grip from Gnome Shell. I actually "prefer" Unity now. Scary...00:19
CaptainKnotson my other hard drive I have debian sid with cinnamon00:20
CaptainKnotsbut now I don't really use it00:20
CaptainKnotsit's easier to focus on dev work with Unity00:20
RoastedHUD is addicting as well00:20
RoastedIt's strangely awesome...00:20
CaptainKnotsinstead of being distracted every 5 minutes00:20
RoastedI find that Unity is there when I need it, and out of my face when I don't.00:20
CaptainKnotsRoasted: I would show you my setup but I don't think I can post NSFW links in here00:21
CaptainKnotsheh00:21
c_smithHello, How do I get Conky to read my Wlan speed in 12.04?00:23
Belial`the only thing that's not working well for me in 5.10 is being able to change the launcher and dash color.00:23
Belial`instead of letting the wallpaper decide.00:23
c_smithBelial`, 5.10? that's old school.00:24
Belial`unity00:24
CaptainKnotsBelial`: I can change it for dash, but when I close dash it autodecides back00:24
Belial`CaptainKnots, same here. as soon as i take focus off of ccsm, it changes back.00:24
c_smithoh,00:24
c_smithanyone know if the configuration of Conky in 12.04 is any different from 11.10?00:25
c_smithif it's no different, could I ask in #ubuntu?00:25
ChogyDanso if I upgrade to unity, will gnome-panel still be there with all my current setups?   another question, does dropbox work with unity?00:26
c_smithChogyDan, which Gnome panel are you using? 2.x.x or 3?00:27
Prettodoes anyone knows where can I access the gnome-online-contacts from00:27
CaptainKnotsBelial`: a workaround for that is to make the center pixel of your wallpaper the color that you want your launcher to be00:27
ChogyDanc_smith: whatever is in precise, I mean the package, gnome-panel00:27
ChogyDanso I think that is 300:27
Belial`that's a good idea, CaptainKnots.00:27
Belial`i'm gonna try that right now.00:27
c_smiththen that would be 3, it should be there.00:28
Prettodoes anyone knows where can I access the gnome-online-contacts from  unity system settings? I can reach it from gnome-shell 3 but not from unity00:28
c_smithChogyDan, all your configurations should be there.00:28
CaptainKnotsBelial`: did it work for you? it works on my end00:42
Belial`here's a stupid question...how did you find the center pixel?00:43
Belial`haha00:43
CaptainKnotsBelial`: width / 200:45
CaptainKnotsheight / 200:46
Belial`thanks00:46
CaptainKnotsugh, CEFs for Desurium take forever to build00:48

Roastedare 12.04's repos sort of out of wack?01:34
RoastedI can't find certain packages in 12.04 that I could previously find in 11.10. Currently No-IP2 is a package I can't find01:35
ChogyDanRoasted: have you checked packages.ubuntu.com?01:36
RoastedChogyDan, I have not, but I'm on it now.01:36
RoastedFirst glance, no sign.01:36
RoastedThis isn't the first time this happened. What's up with the repos?01:36
ChogyDanwhats the package name?01:37
Roastedno-ip201:37
RoastedIt's for DDNS with No-IP.com01:37
ChogyDanwas it ever in the repos?01:37
Roastedyup01:37
Roasted11.10 it was for sure01:38
RoastedNo-IP's site even says if you're running Ubuntu just apt-get install it01:38
Roastedwhereas other distros have the tarball download01:38
ChogyDanoh, it is noip201:39
Roastedtried it01:39
Roastedunable to locate01:39
Roastedjust changed my download server, updated, unable to locate01:39
CaptainKnotsRoasted: I know it's not the same, but have you tried ez-ipupdate ?01:39
Roastedno01:40
CaptainKnotsit's a dynamic dns services client01:40
Roastedbut, I shouldn't have to01:40
ChogyDanRoasted: maybe for now, try the oneiric version01:40
RoastedThis isn't the first package I ran into that didn't exist in 12.04's repos.01:40
RoastedChogyDan, is that possible?01:40
ChogyDanRoasted: I think so01:40

buckythis is probably pretty faq... but I can't install ffmpeg because the right version of libav-tools is not available.. is there a ppa available?01:42
ChogyDanRoasted: the issue is with debian, debian removed it on their end01:44
ChogyDannot sure why01:44
RoastedChogyDan, uh01:45
Roastedreally?01:45
Roastedhow did you find out?01:45
Roastedare there any other packages that support no-ip by chance?01:46
fishcookerwhy many distro doesn't have support for battery01:46
fishcooker?01:46
ChogyDanRoasted: I can just kinda tell that it is auto imported from debian, since there doesn't seem to be a specific ubuntu maintainer01:46
ChogyDanI eventually found this page: http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/no-ip.html01:48
ChogyDanRoasted: ^01:49
RoastedI still don't understand why it was removed01:49
Roastedwas it, like, damaging something?01:49
ChogyDanIm guessing the maintainer lost interest, so it was orphaned01:49
Roastedmaintained? It wasn't updated sicne 200801:50
Roastedit works01:50
Roastedwhy not leave it01:50
Roastedwithout the no-ip package, what else am I to use? does ddcdlient support it?01:50
ChogyDanRoasted: RoQA; orphaned, not in stable, RC-buggy01:50
ChogyDanthats the reason stated01:50
Roastedwell01:51
RoastedI wonder what other freebies exist that have packages for ubuntu01:51

ChogyDananyway, there are your reasons01:52
Roastedstill ridiculous, if you ask me01:52
Roastedat least no-ip still has the tarball01:53
Roastedif I can remember how to install them...01:53
ChogyDanprobably config, make, then checkinstall01:56
Roastedso, if I do a make install, and accidentally cancel it, how do I get back into it02:01
Roasteddoing another make install just errors out02:01
Roastedcancel that02:02

DanaGhmm, anyone else find that the linux-crashdump package doesn't work?02:37
DanaGIf I get a kernel panic... it just locks up.  No kexec and dump like I'd expect.02:37
DanaGhmm, so, now I have an X server on my radeon and another X server on the ASPEED (more like AINSTABILITY) management card.02:50
DanaGThe former is auto-login and auto-lock as me; how can I log into the latter without breaking all sorts of assumptions about one-session-at-a-time limits?02:50
DanaG(well, I assume software won't like multiple sessions for the same user).02:51
DanaGEasiest way would be to have the latter default to a different xsession.02:52

dustinspringmanwhatup folks! just setup another 12.04 for a co-worker at the office, that makes 5 of us now.. Only a few more to go! XD03:27
dustinspringmanOn a serious note though.. anyone got any tricks to get REBOOT to work properly? I can shutdown since I upgraded my Dell M6600 to bios v.A07, but still it hangs on reboot... nothing of use really in the dmesg, at least that I noticed... anyone else find a way to fix this or is there some "other log" I should be looking at?03:29

boumawell, after using nomodeset for the installer and then, update-grub from another ubuntu 11.10 cause the install is not bootable, then using nouveau.nomodset=0 once i can boot beta2, after this its working great06:02
boumai'd love to be able to submit a good bug report though06:02
boumaim using fairly standard hardware, asus mobo and asus gtx550ti video card, but nouveau in the install and then the default kernel config causes serious problems06:03
boumai suppose its definately going to be in the final as default?06:04
boumadont get me wrong, the progress of nouveau seems amazing. it was even able to identify and scale the mhz of the videocard (or at least list possible speeds at boot) which i had read was a missing feature.06:05
scienteswhere can i get linux-headers-3.2.0-1906:05
scientesi got a regression06:05
boumapersonally i think the non booting issue is the largest i've seen, because you cant just work around it with nomodeset's06:06

GreyzeHave an odd problem with Skype, when someone calls, I hear the ringing sound.. but theres no actual button or notification I can press to accept the call11:23
GreyzeAm I being dull and its hidden somewhere, or is this some bug?11:23
OnlyodinSounds odd to me too. Is it something silly like resizing the window? (sorry, I don't have skype)11:24
* gnomefreak never used skype11:24
GreyzeTheres literally nothing to see unfortunately11:24
Greyzeskype is just one small window with basic buttons and a contact list11:24
Greyzewhen somone rings, "nothing" seems to change at all on the desktop, no notification, no accept call button no nothing11:25
gnomefreakdoes it cost to make calls from/to?11:25
Greyzethe only thing that happens is i hear an incoming call sound11:25
Onlyodingnomefreak, not to/from other skype users11:25
GreyzeNo, skype is a free service when its Skype to Skype11:26
gnomefreakOnlyodin: cool thanks11:26
Greyzeyou only pay when you want to contact landlines/mobiles etc11:26
OnlyodinThey'll happily take your money for that though.11:26
GreyzeSurely this must be a simple problem though.. Skype has been on Ubuntu for ages, I must be doing something silly11:27
matt__I'm trying to install the 64-bit version, but the installer seems to be stuck on "Removing Conflicting Operating System Files," should I restart, or should I wait it out?11:28
GreyzeBLARGGH!11:29
GreyzeBeing called as I type, theres just nothing on the screen11:29
Greyzeomg11:29
GreyzeWELL WELL!11:30
GreyzeThere is a skype notification when somone calls me11:30
GreyzeIts just at the very bottom corner of my screen, i can only see a few pixels of it, unable to move it11:31
Greyzewhy the hell is the notification all the way down there -_- its supposed to be in the middle of the screen so I can actually accept the call11:32
Onlyodinsounds like a bug.11:32
GreyzeDon't see how I could of gotten this, I installed this 2 days ago, Skype was the first thing I got11:32
matt__Greyze: I've had lots of trouble with Skype reinstating windows or whatever in the wrong place11:34
Onlyodininstalled Beta 2 two days ago?11:35
Greyzeyeah11:35
Onlyodinsounds like a bug.11:35
matt__did you check to see if it's showing up on another desktop?11:35
matt__try ctl+alt+down11:35
GreyzeHmm, nice idea11:35
Greyzeill try that11:35
GreyzeBingo11:36
GreyzeI see it11:36
GreyzeI can't click on it because its outside my monitors resolution11:36
GreyzeI have 2 monitors: Primary @ 1920 x 1080, secondary @ 1920 x 120011:37
GreyzeUbuntu seems to have made the resolution 1200 across all monitors because its the biggest size11:38
Greyzethough its obviously just blanked out the extra pixels on my primary because they don't exist on the monitor11:38
Greyzeeverything else fits to my monitor size correctly, my apps, the dashbar etc.. but the skype notification is outside of the window region11:38
GreyzeAnyone understand what i'm saying, or have I explained this poorly?11:40
matt__Greyze: it might work if you disable the second monitor temporarily, move the notification and then re-enable the monitor11:42
GreyzeOk, ill try that11:42
matt__there's probably a .conf file for Skype somewhere where you might be able to choose the location for notifications, but I have no idea where it would be or how to find it11:44
matt__other than google that is11:44
GreyzeI bet there is, however im a complete newb to ubuntu.. i just wanted to try it out sinse my Windows partition died 2 days ago11:45
matt__Greyze: understandable, but the Beta might not have been the best choice to start with ;)11:46
matt__tons of updates everyday and massive bugginess in almost everything11:46
GreyzeProbably not, however i'm always too tempted to fiddle with new things :)11:47
matt__I completely understand, as I'm sure most others in this channel would11:47
GreyzeOk11:48
GreyzeIt worked11:48
Greyzedisabling my bigger monitor got rid of the empty space that ubuntu created11:48
GreyzeI figured out how the notification works btw11:49
matt__how's that?11:49
GreyzeSkypes notification is "locked" to the bottom corner of the screen11:49
GreyzeI couldn't move it11:49
Greyzeit looks stylish I guess11:49
matt__ah, haha11:49
matt__well, leave it to Skype progs to make something uncontrollable11:49
Greyzehowever it also forced it outside of the screen resolution thanks to my other monitor being larger11:49
matt__that makes sense11:50
matt__;)11:50
GreyzeStill a bug though, sinse all my other programs and Ubuntu itself still follows the resolution correctly11:51
Greyzeonly Skype goes out of the window region11:51
GreyzeEssentially if you go to Displays setting11:52
Greyzemy 2 monitors have a combined resolution of 3840 x 120011:52
Greyzethough obviously my other monitor is "not" 1200, its 108011:53
Greyzeso ubuntu has made a region of pixels that don't exist11:53
Greyzewhich Skype is using11:53
GreyzeWhats also wierd is in the displays setting. It calls my monitor "laptop" which makes no sense11:53
matt__well, it's possible that the manufacturer uses the same monitor for laptops11:54
matt__it seems like you ought to be able to have two totally different resolutions for each screen11:54
GreyzeI should do11:58
Greyzeseems like ubuntu 12 isn't allowing it11:58
matt__what GPU are you using?12:00
GreyzeGTX 480 SLI12:02
GreyzeNvidia drivers installed12:02
matt__ah, well, then it's an issue with the NVidia drivers, since those are the ones controlling the monitor resolution12:04
matt__chances are someone's brought it up, but chances are also that that issue has been ignored12:05
GreyzeI dunno mind, every other problem works perfectly, everything is clipping to my correct resolution, only skypes notification box is going out of the screen12:06
matt__they aren't very fast-paced on their development of the linux driver12:06
GreyzeI just set my larger monitor to the main display actually12:06
matt__you might wanna flip that then, unless it really doesn't bother you12:06
Greyzeso the notification has to be in the region, but guess what? its ignoring the main display and still going to the bottom corner of my smaller window lol12:06

napsyHello. Are there any known font rendering issues in 12.04 (eg. bold fonts being too large)?12:08
matt__Greyze: Murphy's Law12:10
GreyzeI'm not sacrificing usuability just to fix Skype notifications.. ill just enable auto-answer calls12:12
matt__Greyze: yeah, but it's a pity you ahve to choose12:18
matt__Greyze: if they actually updated Skype more than once every 3 years, we might've been able to avoid such an issue12:19
Greyzeits not a huge deal anyway.. when I get my new SSD back I have to put windows back on it.12:19

Greyzeheavily influenced by his girlfriend there, interesting nonetheless12:32
matt__I've been here almost 6 years now, so I guess it's not that bad, but still, I wish I could teach in the US12:33
matt__where someone might actually show signs of giving a crap about what I do12:33
matt__here, if the students don't find you to be entertaining, you're out of a job12:33
GreyzeThat's kind of the same for almost all teaching jobs though tbh12:34
Greyzeexcept if its in University12:34
GreyzePeople are more "grown up" you know?12:34
matt__well that's just the thing, I am teaching in Uni12:34
GreyzeSounds good then12:35
matt__yeah, I'd like to come back and get a masters and then start teaching at Uni12:35
Greyzeyou sound like you have the ability to move anywhere anyway12:35
matt__if you can survive China for this long, I think you can survive nearly anywhere12:35
GreyzeIndeed :)12:35
GreyzeHow do you live with the Great Firewall of China?12:36
Greyzecensorship ftl :(12:36
matt__haha, funny you should mention it, I'm considering settung up a VPN server before I go back to the US12:36
gnomefreakplease keep the topics support related12:36
matt__sorry12:36
GreyzeWoop, mega off topic12:37
GreyzeWell I guess my support request has been fuffilled anyway, nothing can be done to fix it12:37
matt__Greyze: are you using HDMI with your NVidia card?12:37
=== bulldog98_ is now known as bulldog98
dustinspringmanGreyze: what was the question? I've been kicking a** and taking names with nvidia drivers on Precise12:38
GreyzeYes actually, however its on a disabled monitor..12:38
gnomefreaksuprising i like my ati card. i've always beena Nvidia guy12:38
GreyzeWell Dustin12:38
matt__Greyze: did you perchance test audio over HDMI?12:39
matt__gnomefreak: what card?12:39
GreyzeAfter some fiddling and chatting earlier, it seems to be more of a problem with Skype than my drivers12:39
dustinspringmangnomefreak: I had ATI for a looong time, but went Nvidia recently..12:39
gnomefreak420012:39
matt__gnomefreak: I've been thinking about getting an Asus 1225b, but I wasn't sure how the whole APU thing would work out12:39
dustinspringmanGreyze: ahh.. ya know what.. I've not even tried.. I've got better desktop speakers than my LCD has.. but I know it DID work in 11.10, found that out by accident12:40
GreyzeBasically Skype notifications are locked to the bottom right corner of the screen, which is alright I guess. However, my monitors have different resolutions.12:40
matt__gnomefreak: I don't suppose you might know how well that would run a game like PlaneShift, would you?12:40
gnomefreakmatt__: nope i dont play games on my pc, only because i dont know how12:40
GreyzeTo compensate for the different resolutions, Ubuntu seems to have created a fake resolution across the screens to be accurate12:40
matt__dustinspringman: were you just talking about audio over HDMI?12:40
matt__gnomefreak: well, it was worth a shot, thanks anyhow12:41
Greyzeeverything works totally fine, but skype notifications appear "inside" the region of the screen that shouldn't exist12:41
gnomefreakcould the skype problem be related to compiz?12:41
dustinspringmanGreyze: i assume you are using twinview?12:41
gnomefreakmatt__: np12:41
GreyzeYes im using twinview and compiz12:41
dustinspringmanmatt__: yes, audio over hdmi worked for me in 11.10.. havent even tried in Precise tho12:41
Greyzethough I don't know how compiz is involved12:41
gnomefreakcompiz has had issues like that only it was top right corner12:42
matt__dustinspringman: which card were you using?12:42
Greyzeas for HDMI, i haven't tested it.. though in my sound options it says its capable12:42
gnomefreaktop left corner12:42
dustinspringmanNvidia Quadro 3000M12:42
gnomefreaki have a hard time finding HD any different than normal12:42
gnomefreakeven with bluray player12:43
GreyzeIf its something with Compiz, can you guess what setting is causing the issue? i can't see anything in the compiz manager that could cause any problem tbh12:43
dustinspringmanGreyze: i'm not sure on that one man.. i thought it was gonna be something xorg.conf related.. I had to hax mine pretty good to get twinview to work "properly".. as for skype and notifications, i've got zero experience with that..12:43
matt__gnomefreak: a lot of blurays aren't really recorded properly to get the "HD effect", but I would tend to agree that it's not a huge improvement12:44
GreyzeIf you go to displays setting, with dual monitors enabled12:44
Greyzedisplay shows that i have 1 huge monitor (both combined basically)12:44
Greyzewith a resolution of 3840 x 120012:44
Greyzefirst monitor is 1920 x1080, second is 1920 x 120012:44
Greyzeso as you can see its  created some blank space because my first monitor is not 120012:45
dustinspringmanGreyze: yea.. that's twinview in action..12:45
dustinspringmanGreyze: ahhh now I understand..12:45
GreyzeSee thats not an issue, because every application i use, videos, firefox whatever.. properly snaps to the correct size on my monitor12:45
dustinspringmanGreyze: I think you can modify that either in the nvidia-settings control center or via the xorg.conf..  what exactly needs done, not sure12:46
Greyzeonly skypes notification box goes outside of the window region12:46
gnomefreaki would say test it out see if compiz is causing it however im not sure if unity 2d uses compiz or not12:46
dustinspringmanunity 2d does not from what I have seen12:46
dustinspringmanit intentionally disables all 3d support for "troubleshooting" reasons.. at least that's what I've come to understand..12:47
GreyzeThere is a way to solve this in skype according to my readings on google.. you can customize skype with scripts, or use a different notifcation system12:47
Greyzethough this is far out of my ubuntu knowledge12:47
dustinspringmanGreyze: you'd be surprised what you can do with a pot of coffee and www.google.com. =)12:47
Greyzeindeed12:48
dustinspringmanon that note, i needs more coffee.. bb in a few12:48
GreyzeThough its alright now, i'm just ignoring the problem.. ive spent like 2 hours messing around with it and I should be doing work12:48
matt__Greyze: I like the idea of using a different notification system12:48
GreyzeAll I can say is its either skypes problem, or its something to report for this beta12:48
matt__it's Skype12:49
matt__like you said, other apps do it fine12:49
gnomefreakstart with filing a bug in Ubuntu than report one for skype and link them in LP12:49
gnomefreakthat is the best thing to do12:49
matt__why did they do away with screensavers?12:50
gnomefreakmatt__: gnome did but i never got a straight answer other than gnome did it12:51
matt__I guess it kinda makes sense since most don't use LCDs anymore, but my kid loves em so I wish it could've been kept12:51
matt__*CRTs12:52
gnomefreaksad part is i just upgraded gnome-screensaver. If we are not using them why keep them12:53
matt__that is strange, I never even noticed that one12:56
gnomefreakmaybe for kde users?12:57
matt__must be ;)12:57
CaptainKnotsis there a ppa for recent kernels for ubuntu? I only found the site to download deb files manually and I want to keep it up to date with a ppa12:57
gnomefreaknot that i know of12:58
matt__I thought that's what backports are for13:03
gnomefreaki dont think we have ever backported kernels13:04
boumaim having a wierd issue with update-grub13:04
snadgehttp://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/13:04
snadgeis the only source i know of for alternative kernels for ubuntu13:04
snadgeand i wouldn't use them other than for testing.. more often than not, they are more broken than what is currently being shipped13:05
boumai run sudo update-grub /dev/sda from ubuntu 12.04 on sda1, and it finds everything i expect including vmlinuz-3.2.x, an older ubuntu 11.10, memtest etc, but after rebooting with the bios set to boot from sda, (and/or after explicitly requesting a boot override from sda) it brings up the ubuntu 11.10 boot menu? it seems like sda is redirecting to sdc for some reason13:06
boumai asked in #ubuntu but was told to ask in #ubuntu+1 because it involves 12.0413:07

kosmonaut_I got a problem installing teamviewer7 under (k)ubuntu 12.04.13:09
kosmonaut_When do a dpkg -i teamv* -> the process says that TViewer depends on ia32-libs. But those libs cannot be installed, because ia32-libs-multiarch is not available.13:09

gnomefreakkosmonaut_: here look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/932511/  make sure universe repo is enabled13:28
gnomefreakmaybe a PPA you have that is interferring13:29

kosmonaut_yofel: my output is still german13:55
holsteinDie folgenden Pakete werden  ENTFERNT = "the following packages will be removed" ? correct?13:57
kosmonaut_holstein: sure ;-)13:57
=== skyjumpe1 is now known as skyjumper
gnomefreakapt-get -f install gives that output?14:00
gnomefreakif it is that means packages from your non-official repos is causing you problem14:00
kosmonaut_gnomefreak: after trying to install via dpkg -i teamviwer* (fails), then a -f install just removes teamviewer...not much more output14:02
gnomefreakkosmonaut_: teamviewer is not in our repos so we cant be responsible for libs/packages getting along. telll teamviewer to upgrade to use our package14:04
kosmonaut_gnomefreak: sure---14:04
gnomefreakask them to maybe better or even better file a bug upstream14:05
kosmonaut_gnomefreak: still I wonder why i cannot install ia32 that is14:05
kosmonaut_in the repo14:05
kosmonaut_or should be in the repo14:05
gnomefreakkosmonaut_: you cant install it because the version of teamviewer is not compatitble with our libs14:06

skyjumpermainly i want to switch between terminals without doing alt-`14:16
* cypher-neo nods14:17
cypher-neognomefreak, Are the daily builds less stable than current Beta offered on ubuntu.com?14:17
cypher-neognomefreak, Or are they just incrementally more stable leading up to the final release?14:18
gnomefreakcyberdo: daily build is beta14:18
cypher-neognomefreak, Okay. Thanks. :)14:18
dj_segfaultskyjumper: If you create terminals as tabs instead of windows you can configure the key sequence to go from one tab to another.14:18
gnomefreakfor tabs use ctrl+pageup or pagedown14:19
skyjumperdj_segfault: not a bad idea, but it'd still be ideal to have the usual alt-tab behavior14:19
skyjumperdoesn't look like it's configurable in ccsm14:20
gnomefreakthere is a terminal that you can but i cant recall the name14:20
gnomefreakscreen is the name of it14:20
gnomefreakok im out :)14:21
dj_segfaultgnomefreak: Are you thinking of konsole?14:21
skyjumperscreen is great, tmux is anothe rone14:21
gnomefreakdj_segfault: screen14:21

craigbass1976TheSimkin, I was thinking more xfce and lxde as well, but didn't want to miss any18:00
craigbass1976I've had gnome3 and Unity (two different boxes) since December, and I don't think I'll ever like them18:00

TheSimkini too am trying to make myself like it18:02
TheSimkinbut all in all, i'm sick of ubuntu and unity18:02
TheSimkini think i'm going to go back to 100% gentoo boxes.18:02
yofelcraigbass1976: searching for the name usually finds what you need, but for kde, xfce and lxde you'll probably want kubuntu-/xubuntu-/lubuntu-desktop18:03

jbwivguys, I suspect (based on reading bug reports) that pm-utils is causing some unwanted disk writes. I proceeded to uninstall it with apt, but apt wants to uninstall gnome-session as well? Anyone know why/how to get around?18:52
roasted!upgrade19:01
ubottuFor upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade19:01
roasted!final19:01
ubottuIf you install a development version of Ubuntu Precise and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1.19:01
roastedHm, just out of curiosity, would dist-upgrade come down as part of update manager?19:01
roastedLike if I install 12.04 for a user, and 45 days from now they run update manager, would they get the dist-upgrade function from that?19:02
yofelusing update-manager is fine, it does a dist-upgrade19:03
roastedokay, I wasn't sure of that19:03
roastedthank you :)19:03
yofelit doesn't make a difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade (If I remember correctly)19:03
roastedI thought upgrade was for newer packages in the repos?19:04
roastedwhereas dist-upgrade was actually upgrading the distro19:04
yofelno, upgrade just updates packages, dist-upgrade does the same but adds/removes packages as well if the dependencies require it19:04
yofelit's called dist-upgrade because you do use it for that on debian, but not on Ubuntu19:05
jtrucksso unless a beta3 or RC release comes out (or final/production), don't do dist-upgrade from beta2?19:05
roastedah I see19:06
roastedso dist-upgrade isn't like you'd think on ubuntu, essentially19:06
yofeler, no, you can dist-upgrade now, it's really just about the dependencies - so check what it does before you apply the changes, that's all19:06
jtrucksgotcha.19:06
jtrucksoh, if a new kernel is installed with dist-upgrade, does it force a reboot?19:07
yofelnope, you'll just get a notification that you should reboot19:08
jtruckscool.19:08
jtrucksthanks.19:08
jtrucksi see, upgrade won't do kernels unless you specify them explicitly perhaps.19:09
jtruckswehreas dist-upgrade will.19:09
roastedyofel: so just to make sure I'm on the same page... I install 12.04 now... May 1st I open update manager and install updates by simply clicking install updates. I reboot. I've effectively just upgraded my "beta" 12.04 to the latest variant. No?19:09
roastedSo no need for terminal commands, if I understand right. eh?19:09
yofelshould be fine I believe19:10
yofeljtrucks: right19:10
jtruckscool. thanks.19:10
* jtrucks didn't know that was a main distinction there.19:10
manitouhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-April/035037.html so this mean rc6 is disabled in beta2(late mats mnt.)  and enabled in daily_build ?19:11

yzhdubuntu 12.04 LTS is coming in 10 days. When I upgrade from 11.10 in update manager, will I lose any data?20:32
twig11Since an update last Friday or Saturday, I'm getting pixellated printouts on my Brother mfc-j615w printer. Where's a good place to start troubleshooting this issue?20:33
scientesyzhd, you should always backup20:33
scientesyzhd, however, hopefully no, and /home will not be changed20:33
Paradiesstaubhi all20:34
yzhdscientes, I see. Thanks20:34
scientesyzhd, if you do find a bug that causes data loss, its a critical bug and you need to report it as such20:34
scientesgone...20:34
UberDuperI think enabling vhost_net may have fixed my network problems with kvm in 12.0420:35
ParadiesstaubI started a Google Docs document to collaboratively collect 12.04 keyboard shortcuts - goo.gl/lZGrd - everyone can become an editor20:36

twig11Since an update to Precise last Friday or Saturday, all SVG's are printing low-res and  pixellated on my Brother mfc-j615w printer. I've googled to see if this is a known issue and can't find any info. Any recommendations on tracking this problem down?20:40
mongohrm, the flash installer ignores the apt proxy settings also20:45
micahghmm, that was supposed to be fixed last year...20:46

maintouii have i5 sandybridge ultrabook that why i ask about r621:24

mongoyofel: it looks pretty blocky and unfinished on a large display22:03
kbroulikyofel: it looks bad :D22:04
kbroulikI like that background though22:04
kbroulikbut the logo looks done with ms paint *duck*22:04
yofeliirc it's a 800x600 image - anything larger would make the boot slower as it's a static PNG and has to go into initramfs22:04
yofeliirc it was gimp ^^22:04
kbroulikwhat was the reason for the change btw? legal issues because of the new sponsor?22:04
yofelnot really, just that blue-black doesn't fit with kde 4.8 gray22:06
yofelfor the design talk to apachelogger or sheytan in #kubuntu-devel (but neither of them have been online the last few days)22:06
kbroulikbut I just figured out today how I can add alternatives, so I can restore the original one and have that be presented in auto mode so it survives updates :)22:07
yofelmongo: btw. if you feel something needs to be changed file a bug against kubuntu-default-settings22:08

jo-erlend__There are still a large number of packages with broken dependencies in 12.04. Is this to be expected, even this late in the cycle?22:21
jo-erlend__For instance, installing "pixfrogger" doesn't work. Installing multimedia codecs in Totem doesn't work.22:22
jo-erlend__particularly the codec issue is very important, I think.22:22
yofeljo-erlend__: about pixfrogger - something's wrong with the builds for fenix-plugins https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fenix-plugins/0.0.20070803-522:26
