[00:05] hello! [00:05] It seems as if 12.04's "users" panel is just users and not "users and groups" like before. [00:06] Not sure why this fail was made, but how do I get the old GUI back to get group functionality working? === diegovieiraeti is now known as [kernel_3_2] === [kernel_3_2] is now known as revolts [00:15] in unity 5.10, is the dash -> HUD application icon animation gone? [00:18] I must say that unity 5.10 is the first release that made me actually stop hating unity and start using it for everything instead [00:18] CaptainKnots: i'm still hoping the bug i've been championing will get fixed in time, then i'll be happy :) [00:19] I just have a bit of flickering when I rotate desktop cube [00:19] CaptainKnots, I hear ya. [00:19] I'm wondering if turning off 'sync to vblank' will fix it [00:19] CaptainKnots, I was very vocal against Unity. [00:19] CaptainKnots, but Unity in 12.04 has released my death grip from Gnome Shell. I actually "prefer" Unity now. Scary... [00:20] on my other hard drive I have debian sid with cinnamon [00:20] but now I don't really use it [00:20] it's easier to focus on dev work with Unity [00:20] HUD is addicting as well [00:20] It's strangely awesome... [00:20] instead of being distracted every 5 minutes [00:20] I find that Unity is there when I need it, and out of my face when I don't. [00:21] Roasted: I would show you my setup but I don't think I can post NSFW links in here [00:21] heh [00:23] Hello, How do I get Conky to read my Wlan speed in 12.04? [00:23] 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] instead of letting the wallpaper decide. [00:24] Belial`, 5.10? that's old school. [00:24] unity [00:24] Belial`: I can change it for dash, but when I close dash it autodecides back [00:24] CaptainKnots, same here. as soon as i take focus off of ccsm, it changes back. [00:24] oh, [00:25] anyone know if the configuration of Conky in 12.04 is any different from 11.10? [00:25] if it's no different, could I ask in #ubuntu? [00:26] so if I upgrade to unity, will gnome-panel still be there with all my current setups? another question, does dropbox work with unity? [00:27] ChogyDan, which Gnome panel are you using? 2.x.x or 3? [00:27] does anyone knows where can I access the gnome-online-contacts from [00:27] Belial`: a workaround for that is to make the center pixel of your wallpaper the color that you want your launcher to be [00:27] c_smith: whatever is in precise, I mean the package, gnome-panel [00:27] so I think that is 3 [00:27] that's a good idea, CaptainKnots. [00:27] i'm gonna try that right now. [00:28] then that would be 3, it should be there. [00:28] does 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 unity [00:28] ChogyDan, all your configurations should be there. [00:42] Belial`: did it work for you? it works on my end [00:43] here's a stupid question...how did you find the center pixel? [00:43] haha [00:45] Belial`: width / 2 [00:46] height / 2 [00:46] thanks [00:48] ugh, CEFs for Desurium take forever to build === revolts is now known as diegovieira [01:34] are 12.04's repos sort of out of wack? [01:35] I 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 find [01:36] Roasted: have you checked packages.ubuntu.com? [01:36] ChogyDan, I have not, but I'm on it now. [01:36] First glance, no sign. [01:36] This isn't the first time this happened. What's up with the repos? [01:37] whats the package name? [01:37] no-ip2 [01:37] It's for DDNS with No-IP.com [01:37] was it ever in the repos? [01:37] yup [01:38] 11.10 it was for sure [01:38] No-IP's site even says if you're running Ubuntu just apt-get install it [01:38] whereas other distros have the tarball download [01:39] oh, it is noip2 [01:39] tried it [01:39] unable to locate [01:39] just changed my download server, updated, unable to locate [01:39] Roasted: I know it's not the same, but have you tried ez-ipupdate ? [01:40] no [01:40] it's a dynamic dns services client [01:40] but, I shouldn't have to [01:40] Roasted: maybe for now, try the oneiric version [01:40] This isn't the first package I ran into that didn't exist in 12.04's repos. [01:40] ChogyDan, is that possible? [01:40] Roasted: I think so [01:42] http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/amd64/noip2/download [01:42] win [01:42] this 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? [01:44] Roasted: the issue is with debian, debian removed it on their end [01:44] not sure why [01:45] ChogyDan, uh [01:45] really? [01:45] how did you find out? [01:46] are there any other packages that support no-ip by chance? [01:46] why many distro doesn't have support for battery [01:46] ? [01:46] Roasted: I can just kinda tell that it is auto imported from debian, since there doesn't seem to be a specific ubuntu maintainer [01:48] I eventually found this page: http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/no-ip.html [01:49] Roasted: ^ [01:49] I still don't understand why it was removed [01:49] was it, like, damaging something? [01:49] Im guessing the maintainer lost interest, so it was orphaned [01:50] maintained? It wasn't updated sicne 2008 [01:50] it works [01:50] why not leave it [01:50] without the no-ip package, what else am I to use? does ddcdlient support it? [01:50] Roasted: RoQA; orphaned, not in stable, RC-buggy [01:50] thats the reason stated [01:51] well [01:51] I wonder what other freebies exist that have packages for ubuntu [01:51] see these debian bugs: 653957 [01:51] Debian bug 653957 in ftp.debian.org "RM: no-ip -- RoQA; orphaned, not in stable, RC-buggy" [Normal,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/653957 [01:51] dyndns is definitely off the list [01:51] they axed their free service [01:51] 353560 408079 601220 601229 610571 630027 [01:51] 610930 [01:52] anyway, there are your reasons [01:52] still ridiculous, if you ask me [01:53] at least no-ip still has the tarball [01:53] if I can remember how to install them... [01:56] probably config, make, then checkinstall [02:01] so, if I do a make install, and accidentally cancel it, how do I get back into it [02:01] doing another make install just errors out [02:02] cancel that [02:02] I saw an entry for /usr/local/bin/no-ip2 being in use, just rm -rf'd it [02:02] now it works [02:02] Just installed the 12.04 beta, and it works fine, just there is a pause when I try to go from one screen to the other with my NVidia card. Any advice where I should look? [02:22] im getting major issues === Guest54043 is now known as BryGuy71Z [02:23] thinking about doing a fresh instaa [02:23] install [02:23] when i reboot it usually says error cant initiialize x11 [02:23] try running gnome-shell says the same thing [02:24] yofel_, [02:25] is there a way i can reupgrade [02:37] hmm, anyone else find that the linux-crashdump package doesn't work? [02:37] If I get a kernel panic... it just locks up. No kexec and dump like I'd expect. [02:50] hmm, so, now I have an X server on my radeon and another X server on the ASPEED (more like AINSTABILITY) management card. [02:50] The 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? [02:51] (well, I assume software won't like multiple sessions for the same user). [02:52] Easiest way would be to have the latter default to a different xsession. [02:53] Hi. Anyone know what version of mythtv will be shipped with 12.04? [02:53] I couldn't find that kind of info on the website.

Only a few more to go! XD [03:29] On 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? [03:31] nvidia nonfree broke in the last few precise kernels for me === CQ_ is now known as CQ [04:25] 3D totally broken since 3.2.0-20 for me [04:26] with nvidia propritary [06:02] well, 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 great [06:02] i'd love to be able to submit a good bug report though [06:03] im using fairly standard hardware, asus mobo and asus gtx550ti video card, but nouveau in the install and then the default kernel config causes serious problems [06:04] i suppose its definately going to be in the final as default? [06:05] dont 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] where can i get linux-headers-3.2.0-19 [06:05] i got a regression [06:06] personally i think the non booting issue is the largest i've seen, because you cant just work around it with nomodeset's [06:08] !kernel [06:08] The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [06:10] faryshta, NOOOOOOOO [06:10] im looking for an old precise kernel package [06:10] i know how to compile a kernel, i do it all the time [06:10] debian has archives of old packages, everything ever released [06:10] i'm just trying to nail down a regression [07:03] Good morning, half a week ago an HP Pavilion w/small integrated Nvidia faulted on reboot from update and now the desktop won't come up. Sometimes it gives a Compiz error but I can't file it because the keyboard won't work in the firefox window that comes up for apport (minus display manager titlebar etc.) However I can get into tty1 and would like to know how to force Unity to work again [07:03] Packages are up to date [07:09] Hi, I encountered this issue with groupwise and precise: http://paste.ubuntu.com/932173/ [07:10] The groupwise version I use was working fine on oneiric [07:21] does anyone know why there is no povray package in 12.04? [08:57] Hi I can't get software raid working [08:58] Im trying to install here, I make the raid device, but it doesn't show up in the partitioning menu even though the device is there [08:58] LVM devices show up [09:01] Raid devices do not. [09:07] ill try the server release === gord_ is now known as gord [09:37] hi poeple.. I just installed fresh version of the new 12.04 LTS [09:37] I am trying to use the "trash-cli" package [09:38] but it says "The program 'trash' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [09:38] sudo apt-get install trash-cli". Problem is I already have the package installed... [09:38] any idea? [09:55] Good Morning. I have reported the following issue: Regression: Error - Ubuntu-server 12.04 installation as VM on xen-server 6 (use of local iso file) [09:55] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/982430 [09:55] Launchpad bug 982430 in debian-installer (Ubuntu) "Regression: Error - Ubuntu-server 12.04 installation as VM on xen-server 6 (use of local iso file)" [Undecided,New] [09:56] Please confirm if you have had similar problems. Thank you in advance. [09:56] I guess Im just going to go straight to the VM with the usb passthrough enabled [09:56] if f'ing raid dont install raid dont install [09:57] I need 11.10 or 12.04 for the kernel but I can't for the life of me get either one to install on software raid properly [09:57] * DrManhattan bursts into tears [10:02] right...bash no such file or directory ...ia32-libs exist on my computer.. i tried to reinstall bash.. no joy.. Any idea? [10:03] oh ubuntu 12 [10:39] hi, i got some trouble with gnome-user-share or gnome-file-share properties [10:39] it says that some packages are missing [10:45] but it doesnt state which ones === yofel_ is now known as yofel [11:14] so i cant share folders over the network. any ideas? [11:15] What's the client machine? [11:18] are you talking to me? xD [11:23] Have 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 call [11:23] Am I being dull and its hidden somewhere, or is this some bug? [11:24] Sounds odd to me too. Is it something silly like resizing the window? (sorry, I don't have skype) [11:24] * gnomefreak never used skype [11:24] Theres literally nothing to see unfortunately [11:24] skype is just one small window with basic buttons and a contact list [11:25] when somone rings, "nothing" seems to change at all on the desktop, no notification, no accept call button no nothing [11:25] does it cost to make calls from/to? [11:25] the only thing that happens is i hear an incoming call sound [11:25] gnomefreak, not to/from other skype users [11:26] No, skype is a free service when its Skype to Skype [11:26] Onlyodin: cool thanks [11:26] you only pay when you want to contact landlines/mobiles etc [11:26] They'll happily take your money for that though. [11:27] Surely this must be a simple problem though.. Skype has been on Ubuntu for ages, I must be doing something silly [11:28] 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? [11:29] BLARGGH! [11:29] Being called as I type, theres just nothing on the screen [11:29] omg [11:30] WELL WELL! [11:30] There is a skype notification when somone calls me [11:31] Its just at the very bottom corner of my screen, i can only see a few pixels of it, unable to move it [11:32] why 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 call [11:32] sounds like a bug. [11:32] Don't see how I could of gotten this, I installed this 2 days ago, Skype was the first thing I got [11:34] Greyze: I've had lots of trouble with Skype reinstating windows or whatever in the wrong place [11:35] installed Beta 2 two days ago? [11:35] yeah [11:35] sounds like a bug. [11:35] did you check to see if it's showing up on another desktop? [11:35] try ctl+alt+down [11:35] Hmm, nice idea [11:35] ill try that [11:36] Bingo [11:36] I see it [11:36] I can't click on it because its outside my monitors resolution [11:37] I have 2 monitors: Primary @ 1920 x 1080, secondary @ 1920 x 1200 [11:38] Ubuntu seems to have made the resolution 1200 across all monitors because its the biggest size [11:38] though its obviously just blanked out the extra pixels on my primary because they don't exist on the monitor [11:38] everything else fits to my monitor size correctly, my apps, the dashbar etc.. but the skype notification is outside of the window region [11:40] Anyone understand what i'm saying, or have I explained this poorly? [11:42] Greyze: it might work if you disable the second monitor temporarily, move the notification and then re-enable the monitor [11:42] Ok, ill try that [11:44] 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 it [11:44] other than google that is [11:45] I bet there is, however im a complete newb to ubuntu.. i just wanted to try it out sinse my Windows partition died 2 days ago [11:46] Greyze: understandable, but the Beta might not have been the best choice to start with ;) [11:46] tons of updates everyday and massive bugginess in almost everything [11:47] Probably not, however i'm always too tempted to fiddle with new things :) [11:47] I completely understand, as I'm sure most others in this channel would [11:48] Ok [11:48] It worked [11:48] disabling my bigger monitor got rid of the empty space that ubuntu created [11:49] I figured out how the notification works btw [11:49] how's that? [11:49] Skypes notification is "locked" to the bottom corner of the screen [11:49] I couldn't move it [11:49] it looks stylish I guess [11:49] ah, haha [11:49] well, leave it to Skype progs to make something uncontrollable [11:49] however it also forced it outside of the screen resolution thanks to my other monitor being larger [11:50] that makes sense [11:50] ;) [11:51] Still a bug though, sinse all my other programs and Ubuntu itself still follows the resolution correctly [11:51] only Skype goes out of the window region [11:52] Essentially if you go to Displays setting [11:52] my 2 monitors have a combined resolution of 3840 x 1200 [11:53] though obviously my other monitor is "not" 1200, its 1080 [11:53] so ubuntu has made a region of pixels that don't exist [11:53] which Skype is using [11:53] Whats also wierd is in the displays setting. It calls my monitor "laptop" which makes no sense [11:54] well, it's possible that the manufacturer uses the same monitor for laptops [11:54] it seems like you ought to be able to have two totally different resolutions for each screen [11:58] I should do [11:58] seems like ubuntu 12 isn't allowing it [12:00] what GPU are you using? [12:02] GTX 480 SLI [12:02] Nvidia drivers installed [12:04] ah, well, then it's an issue with the NVidia drivers, since those are the ones controlling the monitor resolution [12:05] chances are someone's brought it up, but chances are also that that issue has been ignored [12:06] I dunno mind, every other problem works perfectly, everything is clipping to my correct resolution, only skypes notification box is going out of the screen [12:06] they aren't very fast-paced on their development of the linux driver [12:06] I just set my larger monitor to the main display actually [12:06] you might wanna flip that then, unless it really doesn't bother you [12:06] so 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 lol === Guest80522 is now known as napsy [12:08] Hello. Are there any known font rendering issues in 12.04 (eg. bold fonts being too large)? [12:10] Greyze: Murphy's Law [12:12] I'm not sacrificing usuability just to fix Skype notifications.. ill just enable auto-answer calls [12:18] Greyze: yeah, but it's a pity you ahve to choose [12:19] Greyze: if they actually updated Skype more than once every 3 years, we might've been able to avoid such an issue [12:19] its not a huge deal anyway.. when I get my new SSD back I have to put windows back on it. [12:20] I only use ubuntu for small things, or emergencies [12:20] Interesting having a life that requires Windows lol [12:21] Interesting is one word to describe it :P [12:23] one nice thing about living in China is that a lot of the computers here don't come with Windows preinstalled [12:23] at least, not the ones you buy on their version of Ebay [12:24] I kinda like Linux in certain situations that I get into [12:25] Though being a student, my degree requires windows, so doe's my hobbies, and hopefully future career [12:25] Can't live without it basically, lol [12:25] For now :D [12:26] Oh I dunno, i'm a games developer, mainly DirectX [12:26] i installed 12.4 development branch how can i find which beta version i am on so i can research info to solve some issues im having [12:26] man, 600 updates on a fresh install :S [12:26] matt__ you didn't use the daily iso? [12:27] Greyze: ever thought about getting into HTML5? [12:27] patdk-wk: yeah, I'm an idiot [12:27] Yeah [12:27] Found it quite interesting, also proficient with OpenGL, so it would be cool to fiddle with some web and GL ES [12:28] patdk-wk: I tend to do things without thinking them through too clearly [12:29] Greyze: yeah, I'd really like to get back into blender and try to put something together with HTML5, but I have to htmlfu [12:29] *have no htmlfu [12:29] and I never got very far with Opengl [12:29] At the moment i'm in my last year of my degree, a few weeks left.. so full focus on my work before I can go and enjoy myself with HTML5 or whatever [12:30] I miss school :'( [12:30] Can't wait to get out [12:30] its a pain :P [12:30] it's an even bigger pain as a teacher [12:31] Im assuming your one? [12:32] yeah, English in China, it sucks [12:32] Friend of mine is doing the same as you.. finished Uni last year and suddenly went to china to be an english teacher [12:32] heavily influenced by his girlfriend there, interesting nonetheless [12:33] 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 US [12:33] where someone might actually show signs of giving a crap about what I do [12:33] here, if the students don't find you to be entertaining, you're out of a job [12:34] That's kind of the same for almost all teaching jobs though tbh [12:34] except if its in University [12:34] People are more "grown up" you know? [12:34] well that's just the thing, I am teaching in Uni [12:35] Sounds good then [12:35] yeah, I'd like to come back and get a masters and then start teaching at Uni [12:35] you sound like you have the ability to move anywhere anyway [12:35] if you can survive China for this long, I think you can survive nearly anywhere [12:35] Indeed :) [12:36] How do you live with the Great Firewall of China? [12:36] censorship ftl :( [12:36] haha, funny you should mention it, I'm considering settung up a VPN server before I go back to the US [12:36] please keep the topics support related [12:36] sorry [12:37] Woop, mega off topic [12:37] Well I guess my support request has been fuffilled anyway, nothing can be done to fix it [12:37] Greyze: are you using HDMI with your NVidia card? === bulldog98_ is now known as bulldog98 [12:38] Greyze: what was the question? I've been kicking a** and taking names with nvidia drivers on Precise [12:38] Yes actually, however its on a disabled monitor.. [12:38] suprising i like my ati card. i've always beena Nvidia guy [12:38] Well Dustin [12:39] Greyze: did you perchance test audio over HDMI? [12:39] gnomefreak: what card? [12:39] After some fiddling and chatting earlier, it seems to be more of a problem with Skype than my drivers [12:39] gnomefreak: I had ATI for a looong time, but went Nvidia recently.. [12:39] 4200 [12:39] gnomefreak: I've been thinking about getting an Asus 1225b, but I wasn't sure how the whole APU thing would work out [12:40] Greyze: 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 accident [12:40] Basically 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] gnomefreak: I don't suppose you might know how well that would run a game like PlaneShift, would you? [12:40] matt__: nope i dont play games on my pc, only because i dont know how [12:40] To compensate for the different resolutions, Ubuntu seems to have created a fake resolution across the screens to be accurate [12:40] dustinspringman: were you just talking about audio over HDMI? [12:41] gnomefreak: well, it was worth a shot, thanks anyhow [12:41] everything works totally fine, but skype notifications appear "inside" the region of the screen that shouldn't exist [12:41] could the skype problem be related to compiz? [12:41] Greyze: i assume you are using twinview? [12:41] matt__: np [12:41] Yes im using twinview and compiz [12:41] matt__: yes, audio over hdmi worked for me in 11.10.. havent even tried in Precise tho [12:41] though I don't know how compiz is involved [12:42] compiz has had issues like that only it was top right corner [12:42] dustinspringman: which card were you using? [12:42] as for HDMI, i haven't tested it.. though in my sound options it says its capable [12:42] top left corner [12:42] Nvidia Quadro 3000M [12:42] i have a hard time finding HD any different than normal [12:43] even with bluray player [12:43] If 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 tbh [12:43] Greyze: 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.. [12:44] 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 improvement [12:44] If you go to displays setting, with dual monitors enabled [12:44] display shows that i have 1 huge monitor (both combined basically) [12:44] with a resolution of 3840 x 1200 [12:44] first monitor is 1920 x1080, second is 1920 x 1200 [12:45] so as you can see its created some blank space because my first monitor is not 1200 [12:45] Greyze: yea.. that's twinview in action.. [12:45] Greyze: ahhh now I understand.. [12:45] See thats not an issue, because every application i use, videos, firefox whatever.. properly snaps to the correct size on my monitor [12:46] Greyze: I think you can modify that either in the nvidia-settings control center or via the xorg.conf.. what exactly needs done, not sure [12:46] only skypes notification box goes outside of the window region [12:46] i would say test it out see if compiz is causing it however im not sure if unity 2d uses compiz or not [12:46] unity 2d does not from what I have seen [12:47] it intentionally disables all 3d support for "troubleshooting" reasons.. at least that's what I've come to understand.. [12:47] There 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 system [12:47] though this is far out of my ubuntu knowledge [12:47] Greyze: you'd be surprised what you can do with a pot of coffee and www.google.com. =) [12:48] indeed [12:48] on that note, i needs more coffee.. bb in a few [12:48] Though its alright now, i'm just ignoring the problem.. ive spent like 2 hours messing around with it and I should be doing work [12:48] Greyze: I like the idea of using a different notification system [12:48] All I can say is its either skypes problem, or its something to report for this beta [12:49] it's Skype [12:49] like you said, other apps do it fine [12:49] start with filing a bug in Ubuntu than report one for skype and link them in LP [12:49] that is the best thing to do [12:50]
