| DrManhattan | WOL isn't working for me in 12.04 | 01:08 |
| DrManhattan | doesn't matter WHAT I do, the thing wont wake up | 01:08 |
| DrManhattan | I've tried a bunch of solutions | 01:08 |
| DrManhattan | looking forward to final - I hope that's fixed | 01:09 |

| DiabolicalGamer | Hello Everyone | 01:23 |
| DiabolicalGamer | I'm attempting to setup a MaaS server, but my nodes keep running into "init: cloud-init-nonet main process (256) killed by TERM signal" | 01:24 |
| DiabolicalGamer | Any help? | 01:25 |
| fishcooker | thanks for quick response sekllum | 01:27 |
| fishcooker | btw is it possible to change the combination of buttons? | 01:28 |
| skellum | np | 01:28 |
| DiabolicalGamer | I can't even login to my nodes to check the logs. O_o | 01:28 |
| jbicha | DiabolicalGamer: perhaps ask in #ubuntu-server I'm not sure many server folks hang out here | 01:30 |
| skellum | fishcooker: i don't personally know of an option in /etc to do that | 01:30 |
| fishcooker | ok skellum thanks btw | 01:31 |
| skellum | 12.04, only unsecure wireless selectable. secure networks are greyed out. any tips? | 01:36 |
| MountainX | DrManhattan: regarding WOL not working, maybe you need to file a bug report. Otherwise, it might not be fixed in the final. My experience is that many bugs we see at this stage don't get fixed by the release. | 01:42 |
| skellum | lspci | 01:44 |
| skellum | eh, wrong window | 01:45 |
| DrManhattan | Im going to try out 11.10 real fast - I think the reason WOL isnt working is b/c of the driver - which would be a kernel issue | 01:45 |
| DrManhattan | Im using a realtek8111c onboard NIC and I think I have to use the proprietary driver at the realtek site to enable WOL | 01:45 |
| DrManhattan | ( | 01:46 |
| DrManhattan | ugh | 01:46 |
| DrManhattan | http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false | 01:46 |
| DrManhattan | the kernel module will real WOL as capable and working, but it doesn't work in linux - it DOES work in windows | 01:48 |
| Hieberrr | How come I can't re-organize my lenses and snap my windows to the edges on 12.04 (when I could on 11.10)? I also can't install the ATI/AMD drivers through "Additional Drivers" | 01:48 |
| Hieberrr | Anyone :S ? | 01:51 |
| fishcooker | skellum i've problem with asus battery... is ther any option to disable overwhelming feature on my nvidia gt520m | 01:53 |

| Roasted | anybody using a scanner on 12.04? I have both a lexmark and hp that just say no devices available with both simple scan and xsane. | 01:58 |

| kanliot | just updated precise and now I can't start netbeans | 02:04 |
| kanliot | any ideas? | 02:04 |
| kanliot | help | 02:04 |
| MountainX | kanliot: updated precise from what to what? From 11.10 to beta2 or from earlier beta2 to most recent updates? | 02:17 |
| kanliot | i've been running "apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade -y" | 02:18 |
| kanliot | for a long time | 02:18 |
| Roasted | lost connection. Anybody using a scanner with 12.04? | 02:18 |
| kanliot | then i used "update manager" to do an update and it ran for an hour | 02:18 |
| kanliot | anyhow I managed to get netbeans started | 02:18 |
| kanliot | it might have just been a netbeans bug | 02:19 |
| kanliot | i just assumed it had something to do with the update | 02:19 |
| kanliot | :) | 02:19 |
| kanliot | thx mountainx | 02:19 |
| MountainX | kanliot: for beta versions, you should update like this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get --simulate dist-upgrades | 02:19 |
| MountainX | then run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade if everything is OK | 02:19 |
| kanliot | ok | 02:20 |
| kanliot | this is all new | 02:20 |
| kanliot | i'd ask you to explain | 02:20 |
| kanliot | but you don't have time | 02:20 |
| kanliot | is there a wiki page? | 02:20 |
| MountainX | for beta releases, you may sometimes encounter "partial upgrades" or broken packages. | 02:20 |
| MountainX | if that happens, don't go forward with the upgrade until the packages are fixed. | 02:20 |
| MountainX | so simulating the upgrade is an important step. | 02:21 |
| MountainX | if it is OK, then do the upgrade. | 02:21 |
| kanliot | whats the difference between apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade | 02:21 |
| kanliot | ? | 02:21 |
| MountainX | This is really only important for alpha and beta releases. After that packages don't break (as a rule) | 02:21 |
| bazhang | !dist-upgrade | kanliot | 02:21 |
| ubottu | kanliot: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 02:21 |
| kanliot | !upgrade | 02:22 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 02:22 |
| MountainX | In my experience, you always want to use dist-upgrade when working with a beta. If anyone else knows better, please jump in. | 02:23 |
| bazhang | !final | 02:23 |
| ubottu | If 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. | 02:23 |
| Roasted | anybody using a usb scanner on your 12.04 install? | 02:23 |
| MountainX | Without dist-upgrade you won't always upgrade all packages (as the bot said) | 02:23 |
| kanliot | that's probably why the update manager did more stuff than the upgrade on the command line | 02:23 |
| kanliot | thanks | 02:23 |
| MountainX | welcome | 02:24 |
| Roasted | k, very confused now. | 02:28 |
| Roasted | https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/simple-scan/+question/134841 suggests the 5400c works in ubuntu | 02:28 |
| Roasted | why does xsane and simple scan say no device found then? | 02:28 |
| DrManhattan | WOL for realtek 8111c works with the driver from realtek | 02:31 |
| kanliot | drm i have one of those i think in my asus m5a97.... it worked in 11.10 but only intermittently | 02:33 |
| DrManhattan | oh except for WOL it worked just fine | 02:34 |
| kanliot | 8111e | 02:34 |
| DrManhattan | im 8111c | 02:34 |
| kanliot | well it would work on one booting | 02:34 |
| kanliot | then on a cold boot it wouldn't work | 02:34 |
| DrManhattan | this is with the factory driver? | 02:34 |
| kanliot | yeah | 02:34 |
| DrManhattan | did you have automatic updates on? | 02:34 |
| kanliot | hmmm | 02:35 |
| kanliot | not really sure | 02:35 |
| DrManhattan | did you have to recompile/reinstall the driver to make it work again? | 02:35 |
| kanliot | nope i had to install precise to make it work | 02:35 |
| kanliot | and in precise it worked fine with teh default driver (8169) | 02:37 |
| DrManhattan | Im in precise, there's no WOL on that driver | 02:45 |
| DrManhattan | but the compiled one is working well so far | 02:45 |
| kanliot | + ok | 02:48 |
| Hieberrr | I installed Gnome, but I want to remove it now (12.04), how do I do it? I already did sudo apt-get autoremove, but it's still there on the login screen... | 02:55 |
| vishaltelangre | I'm having problem after distribution upgrade. I've submitted my question, please see it. Solution for resolving it is very much needed. Here is the link to the question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/123008/general-error-mounting-filesystems | 02:55 |
| kanliot | sounds like grub is hosed | 03:01 |
| sacarlson | vishaltelangre: ya dependancy problem grub try another repository? | 03:01 |
| vishaltelangre | sacarlson: Okay, I know it's still in beta phase. But how do I try your solution? | 03:02 |
| sacarlson | vishaltelangre: to start to fix you will probly need a 12.04 live cd to work from | 03:03 |
| Kyle__ | I updated to the beta from an 11.10 install, and I got it to work, but dpkg hangs on what I think is the grub setup. | 03:03 |
| sacarlson | or usb o | 03:03 |
| vishaltelangre | sacarlson: Okay, I'll be downloading it very soon. What to do after that? | 03:04 |
| Kyle__ | I have to ctrl-c out of some dpkg steps, so I can't apt-get anything now. Any ideas? | 03:04 |
| sacarlson | Kyle__: oh your having the same problem as vishaltelangre? | 03:04 |
| Kyle__ | sacarlson: Possilby..... | 03:05 |
| Kyle__ | vishaltelangre: is your system hanging in dpkg's config phase? | 03:05 |
| sacarlson | vishaltelangre: if there is anything of value on the system I would move it off with the live cd to start | 03:05 |
| Kyle__ | File descriptor 3 (pipe:[84712]) leaked on lvs invocation. Parent PID 31444: /bin/sh | 03:05 |
| * Kyle__ sighs | 03:06 | |
| * Kyle__ did do a backup to an external drive first, but everything _really_ important was already on ubuntu-one or my basement server. | 03:06 | |
| vishaltelangre | When it downloaded all the upgraded packages (almost 3080), then using dpkg it started installing and setting them... And after few, my computer just stuck down. | 03:06 |
| vishaltelangre | sacarlson: So I was having no option beside shutting down it as nothing was responding! | 03:07 |
| sacarlson | Kyle: see vishaltelangre's link to compare http://askubuntu.com/questions/123008/general-error-mounting-filesystems | 03:08 |
| Kyle__ | Hu. Nope, not the issue I had. | 03:09 |
| Kyle__ | s/had/have/ | 03:09 |
| vishaltelangre | Kyle__: You mean you were in such situation, huh? | 03:10 |
| sacarlson | I also think the repositories are syncing or something as I'm having problems with mini.iso it just gets stuck but not sure this relates to vishaltelangre or Kyle__ problem | 03:10 |
| kanliot | does the mini iso use ubiquity? | 03:11 |
| sacarlson | vishaltelangre: with the live cd try reinstall grub on your system to see what happens, | 03:12 |
| sacarlson | kanliot: no it's just text | 03:13 |
| Kyle__ | vishaltelangre: My upgrade wasn't finishing because dpkg kept on hanging durring config. Ctrl+c enough times, re-run dpkg enough times, and I have a useable system again...but because of the state dpkg left things in I can't install anything/update anything. | 03:13 |
| sacarlson | kanliot: oh maybe | 03:13 |
| kanliot | ? | 03:13 |
| sacarlson | kanliot: I guess ubiquity is a part of the install like script configs | 03:13 |
| kanliot | that's news to me | 03:14 |
| kanliot | i thought ubiquity was the python pretty gui | 03:14 |
| vishaltelangre | I think it may solve the problem if I can get rid of conflict versions of install-info, | 03:14 |
| vishaltelangre | grub-pc-bin, | 03:14 |
| vishaltelangre | grub-pc, | 03:14 |
| vishaltelangre | grub2-common at maintenance shel as I reported in my questionl, isn't that possible? | 03:14 |
| vishaltelangre | Oh sorry | 03:14 |
| sacarlson | kanliot: if you mean graphics then it's a text installer much the same as the alternate cd | 03:14 |
| kanliot | yeah i've had about 6 lockups in ubiquity, but none on the alt installer | 03:15 |
| vishaltelangre | Kyle__: Hmm, I'm also having problem with dpkg, but we do not have common mutualities in our problems. | 03:16 |
| * Kyle__ nods | 03:17 | |
| sacarlson | vishaltelangre: it sounds like the repositories aren't synced yet so they have some conflics | 03:17 |
| sacarlson | vishaltelangre: some repositories will sync before others, wish we knew witch ones | 03:18 |
| vishaltelangre | sacarlson: Hmm, that is possible. Hope the same issue do not remain in final release. I think I should do a fresh install of 12.04. | 03:20 |
| sacarlson | vishaltelangre: if you have the live cd I would at least try it on another partition , I would have done that before I upgraded | 03:21 |
| Kyle__ | Oooh, netbeans is in the repo again! | 03:21 |
| sacarlson | vishaltelangre: I keep test partitions open for this kind of stuf and install with grub menu entries to make it install 10 times faster | 03:22 |
| vishaltelangre | sacarlson: Yes, surely I do try reinstalling grub2 from it before doing a fresh install. | 03:22 |
| sacarlson | vishaltelangre: you can run more than one ubuntu in different partitions multiboot | 03:23 |
| vishaltelangre | sacarlson: Yep, I did same earlier. Thanks btw. | 03:23 |

| pepee | is someone having troubles with synaptics touchpads? | 04:27 |
| roasted | hello! | 04:38 |
| ejo | Hi! Having a little trouble with a 12.04 live CD (actually on USB stick), 64 bit version. I get most of the way through the install pretty quickly, then with only about 2cm to go on the progress bar, with the caption "Installing System"... now no progress is made for over a half hour. The system is not hung, but no further progress is made. | 05:09 |
| ejo | The rest of the process went great, downloaded updates and everything, probably only took about 20 minutes with a good connection. But the installer progress bar has now been around 90% for a long long time. | 05:16 |
| etp | Is there a reason why ia32-libs-multiarch doesn't depend on libpam0g? Previously libpam-ldap pulled it in but libpam-ldap is now on Suggests | 05:20 |
| micahg | etp: if there's a use case where it's needed in most scenarios, please file a bug | 05:22 |
| ejo | Can anyone advise me on my apparently stalled install? Should I just start over and hope for a different outcome? | 05:22 |
| ejo | I dropped to a terminal and looked at 'top'... the main process running is init... with nothing else really using significant resources | 05:24 |
| pepee | is someone having troubles with synaptics touchpads? | 05:39 |

| MasterOfDisaster | fishcooker: as the -dev suffix suggests, files you need when you want to write software that uses the libraries in question | 08:04 |
| fishcooker | i've got my battery drop easily | 08:04 |

| martinphone | are you releasing today a release candidate? | 10:57 |
| CQ | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule ... doesn't look liek RCs are planned, I'm happily running the beta2. | 11:15 |
| philinux | martinphone: There is no RC this cycle | 11:39 |
| philinux | martinphone: Well I spoke to soon. Athough there isnt an officual RC in the release schedule. http://iloveubuntu.net/ubuntu-1204s-rc-iso-call-testing | 11:51 |
| astraljava | philinux: Where are you getting that info? There was a mail to ubuntu-release stating the dates clearly: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2012-April/001083.html | 12:09 |
| astraljava | ...saying the RC creation is tomorrow. | 12:10 |
| philinux | astraljava: the link says the 19th http://iloveubuntu.net/ubuntu-1204s-rc-iso-call-testing | 12:11 |
| astraljava | Yeah, ok so it's the same info then. | 12:11 |
| philinux | astraljava: Yep justa heads up for the guy who asked | 12:11 |
| astraljava | I'd say that's 'official RC in the release schedule' when the release manager says so. :) | 12:11 |
| philinux | astraljava: I did wonder if there would be one. I'm using 12.04 now on main machine. ;) | 12:12 |
| snadge | welcome to me 4 months ago | 12:13 |
| snadge | j/k | 12:13 |
| astraljava | philinux: It'd have been strange if there weren't, seeing as this one is an LTS release. | 12:13 |
| snadge | i must admit i gave up on 11.10 pretty early.. because its a dog turd | 12:13 |
| snadge | and unity in 12.04 is vastly superior :p | 12:13 |
| astraljava | philinux: For the LTS releases, it's often not so hard to start using it quite early on. I think I started back in January, but then I needed to see the fixes live. | 12:14 |
| philinux | astraljava: indeed I was surprised by the omission. Final week of bug removal needed. But I'm not seeing anything crash wise at all here | 12:14 |
| astraljava | Just refrain from having sensitive data _only_ on that machine. | 12:14 |
| snadge | oh its not that bad.. its not gentoo ;) | 12:14 |
| snadge | but sure backups are always a good thing to have of stuff that matters | 12:15 |
| philinux | astraljava: Home on own partitoin | 12:15 |
| astraljava | philinux: Not enough. And sometimes quite hard to live on, when there are config file version changes etc. | 12:15 |
| snadge | yeah but a crappy kernel.. or an incorrectly inserted ram dimm on a non ecc system. etc | 12:15 |
| snadge | ive corrupted filesystems that wern't supposed to corrupt before.. maybe im just getting old | 12:16 |
| philinux | astraljava: I did a clean install and blew away all the config files except FF and EVO. | 12:16 |
| astraljava | snadge: Yeah I'm not saying the technology would ruin your data (in most cases). The worst is that you might just re-install in a whim, forgetting to backup. :) | 12:16 |

| astraljava | snadge: But then how do you test your fixes? :) | 12:18 |
| astraljava | gnomefreak: I hear ya. It's a pain waiting for them to sync to another machine. | 12:19 |

| metalfan_ | hi | 13:47 |
| metalfan_ | how do you run gparted from the precise installer? | 13:48 |
| metalfan_ | its installed, running gparted on the console shows that it would like to start but cant connect to xorg | 13:48 |
| ironhalik | hmm, it worked during installation | 13:49 |
| ironhalik | you probably should file a bug | 13:49 |
| Ian_Corne | well metalfan_ | 13:50 |
| Ian_Corne | you should export display | 13:50 |
| Ian_Corne | when running graphical applications from console | 13:50 |
| Ian_Corne | export display=:0.0 probably | 13:50 |
| metalfan_ | no way to get a "run" dialog from the installer directly? | 13:50 |
| metalfan_ | very nice that worked | 13:53 |
| Ian_Corne | alt+f2 ? | 13:53 |
| Alan | I apologise if this is a flamebaity question, but... what is this obsession with removing every single aspect of configuration? | 13:53 |
| metalfan_ | just started the process, will test that after | 13:53 |
| metalfan_ | what was the common size grub needs at the start of the drive to work 2mb? | 13:54 |
| Alan | so i'm trying out the 12.04 beta, only to discover there is no longer a font preferences thing anywhere? | 13:54 |
| metalfan_ | fonts on your desktop`? | 13:55 |
| Alan | i mean the fonts configuration stuff that used to be in the Appearance settings dialog | 13:55 |
| metalfan_ | ok, just to be sure were talking about the same thing | 13:56 |
| metalfan_ | maybe they moved it? cant check at the moment, im just installing sry | 13:56 |
| Alan | I somehow find it really hard to believe that Ubuntu devs can look at the default look and feel of Ubuntu day in, day out and not just vomit at the font rendering | 13:57 |
| Alan | the default "slight" hinting looks horrible on LCD displays with a PPI below 130 | 13:57 |
| Alan | huh, looks like the unity HUD preview PPA has been nuked too | 14:00 |
| Griwes | hello, I'm trying to upgrade to 12.04, but in apt.log I found something interesting. gconf-service-backend is broken, because it depends on gconf-service. but, gconf-service is broken as well, because... it depends on gconf-service-backend | 14:03 |
| gnomefreak | Griwes: did you/are you upgrading using update-manager -d? | 14:07 |
| Griwes | yes | 14:07 |
| Griwes | ah | 14:07 |
| Griwes | I did | 14:07 |
| fyksen | hey Im rocking a 2 monitor setup in 12.04 with nvidia 295.40 driver. I got a problem with the mouse "sticking" to its desktop if I try to move the mouse from one desktop to the other. Is this a bug or a feature? anyway to turn it off? | 14:07 |
| Griwes | but right now, I'm do-release-upgrade'ing | 14:07 |
| Griwes | pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages | 14:10 |
| Griwes | I guess I will find that circular problem in log again | 14:10 |
| gnomefreak | Griwes: you can always run "sudo apt-get install -f" than see if it fixes it than continnue with upgrade using u-m or do-* | 14:11 |
| gnomefreak | Griwes: run the install command about see if it helps | 14:11 |
| Griwes | I tried, it did nothing | 14:11 |
| Griwes | you know, I tried to google anything helpful before coming here | 14:12 |
| gnomefreak | gbrthere are no held back packages (at least the ones i have installed) | 14:12 |

| Griwes | gnomefreak, logs: https://gist.github.com/2413864 and that circular wtf - https://gist.github.com/2413865 | 14:15 |

| gnomefreak | Xlaits: 11.10 or 12.04? | 14:16 |
| Xlaits | 10.04 | 14:16 |
| Xlaits | 12.02, sorry. | 14:16 |
| Griwes | .04, you meant? :D | 14:16 |
| Griwes | gnomefreak, I tried | 14:16 |
| Xlaits | Whatever it is. I thought it was .02... | 14:17 |
| gnomefreak | Xlaits: do you want java 7 or java 6 | 14:17 |
| gnomefreak | its .04 | 14:17 |
| Xlaits | Is Minecraft Discriminate against them? | 14:17 |
| gnomefreak | april 2012 | 14:17 |

| Griwes | gnomefreak, https://gist.github.com/2413882 | 14:17 |
| gnomefreak | Xlaits: install openjdk-7-jdk | 14:18 |
| Xlaits | There's that "openJDK" thing again... | 14:18 |
| gnomefreak | you stated you wanted it so i found it and gave it to you. | 14:19 |
| gnomefreak | Xlaits: what exactly do you want | 14:19 |
| gnomefreak | Griwes: im not sure what is wrong. try update than run -f install command | 14:19 |
| Xlaits | I'm hating the OpenJDK, due to it's uselessness in doing anything I need it to do... | 14:19 |
| Griwes | gnomefreak, I already tried it | 14:19 |
| Griwes | Xlaits, you should say "I'm hating any JDK, due to it's uselessness in doing anything I need it to do" and it would still be true :D | 14:20 |
| gnomefreak | Xlaits: iirc the non-free packages are in the conical repo. | 14:20 |
| gnomefreak | Griwes: sorry im not sure i woudl file a bug. | 14:21 |
| Pici | shaped like a cone. | 14:21 |
| gnomefreak | we are/did move to the free verrsion of java so soon that is all you will find. hell that is all i found a minute ago | 14:22 |

| dekuked | hey, I'm having trouble installing the beta on an acer aspire using the amd c60 | 14:24 |
| bazhang | dekuked, have you tried the alternate installer cd | 14:24 |
| dekuked | nope | 14:24 |
| dekuked | just going through the bootoptions | 14:24 |
| dekuked | noapm, noacpi and vga=323 and stuff like that | 14:24 |
| dekuked | I mean, is this something where waiting 10 days would benefit me? | 14:25 |
| dekuked | or is the installer kind of frozen at this point | 14:25 |
| bazhang | I'd try the alternate | 14:25 |
| dekuked | k, will do | 14:25 |
| Xlaits | I'm looking to install a Java that ISN'T OpenJDK. Can ANYONE help me? | 14:29 |
| Xlaits | Anyone? | 14:32 |
| === jtrucks_ is now known as jtrucks | ||
| metalfan_ | did you try apt-cache search java ? | 14:32 |
| metalfan_ | did you try apt-cache search java|grep sun ? | 14:33 |
| metalfan_ | that should show you the name of the sun package which you can then install by apt-get install java-something-sun | 14:33 |
| bazhang | !java | Xlaits | 14:35 |
| ubottu | Xlaits: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 14:35 |
| Xlaits | That didn't help me at all. | 14:44 |

| Bluefoxicy | sigh | 14:49 |
| Bluefoxicy | It used to be you could just right click a printer and hit "Share" | 14:49 |

| Bluefoxicy | you have to edit config files | 14:50 |
| metalfan_ | xlaits that oage ideed seems a bit weird | 14:53 |
| metalfan_ | astraljava cant he just use something like apt-get install java-sun-jre and let apt worry about the right packages? | 14:54 |
| metalfan_ | astraljava working with wget seems a bit experimental in this case | 14:54 |
| astraljava | metalfan_: Oracle's Java packages are no longer in the repositories. | 15:04 |

| metalfan_ | why would they not allow ubuntu to redistribute the crap they write? | 15:10 |
| astraljava | metalfan_: Did you read the post behind the link? | 15:14 |
| metalfan_ | yes, there was some kind of security hole | 15:17 |
| metalfan_ | which however was introduced by sun/oracle | 15:17 |
| metalfan_ | ah, another link states that openjdk will be the basis for oracles java | 15:19 |

| roasted | Good morning everyone. | 15:26 |
| roasted | Anybody here running any type of scanner on 12.04? I've tried two different scanners, Lexmark X1185, and HP 5400c, and both fail to be recognized by XSane or Simple Scan. I'm kind of at a loss on how to get either of these scanners working. | 15:26 |
| jtrucks | heh, I think network vulnerability scanner when you say scanner, so I was momentarily confused at the mention of hardware from lexmark an HP :P | 15:29 |
| fyksen | hey Im rocking a 2 monitor setup in 12.04 with nvidia 295.40 driver. I got a problem with the mouse "sticking" to its desktop if I try to move the mouse from one desktop to the other. Is this a bug or a feature? anyway to turn it off? | 15:29 |

| spaceneedle | I wish the developers would fix the jumbled words in the corner. | 15:38 |
| fyksen | alecu, yeah, if I drag the mouse from one desktop to the other, it sticks, at the "gap" between the screen, so I have to really push to get the mouse over.. I hope you understand what i mean. | 15:40 |
| Arnold | fyksen, try to get into System Settings -> Displays and set Sticky Edges to Off. | 15:42 |
| fyksen | okey, Il try it : ) | 15:42 |
| ironm | hello. may I ask what virtualization would you recommend for precise? KVM, row Xen or XCP? Thank you in advance for any hints. | 15:43 |
| fyksen | Arnold, ty so much.. Should have tried to find it myself, but I just kept looking in compiz settings. So thank you for your time! | 15:43 |
| Arnold | fyksen, you're welcome :) I remembered that Unity 5.8 brought new multi-monitor options a while ago, so this was one of them | 15:44 |
| ironm | another question. I have tested shortly virt-manager to manage KVM VMs. Is there a better choice? | 15:46 |
| bluj | hi i'm running a fully updated ubuntu 12.04, can anyone tell me why there is no 'Restart' option in my top right corner? just lock, log out, suspend, shutdown | 15:46 |
| Arnold | bluj, you have to click Shutdown and you'll get three buttons there - one will be restart on the far left side of the dialog | 15:47 |

| astraljava | roasted: I did use a scanner on my precise setup, but it's not here at the moment, so can't give much support. | 15:59 |
| astraljava | It worked, though. One of those HP's all-in-one machines. | 15:59 |

| roasted | astraljava: It's beyond frustrating that I had a lexmark scanner fail, okay fine, it's a lexmark I know they're hit or miss, but to get an HP too and it also fail. | 16:00 |
| roasted | It rages me beyond belief. | 16:00 |
| astraljava | I understand. Sorry to hear that, and hope you get support from someone. Good luck! | 16:00 |
| brendand | roasted, is it connected wirelessly? | 16:07 |
| roasted_ | brendand: no, it's not | 16:16 |

| brendand | roasted, yeah | 16:18 |
| roasted_ | what model printer? | 16:18 |
| === roasted_ is now known as roasted | ||
| Fyodorovna | roasted_, I have a generic scanner that runs on simple scan a umax ultra 1220 | 16:20 |
| brendand | roasted, HP Photosmart B110 | 16:20 |
| roasted | man | 16:20 |
| roasted | I hate you guys :( | 16:20 |
| roasted | two scanners, one being an HP that should supposedly work, no dice. | 16:20 |
| Fyodorovna | roasted, have you tried either with a live disc of say 11.10? | 16:21 |
| roasted | Fyodorovna: no, but I have 11.10 on my work laptop... once I go home for lunch I plan to try it and see. | 16:21 |
| cypher-neo | Odd question... I know that in order to restart the computer you click on Shutdown and then click Restart from the Shutdown dialog. Any expectation that Restart might be added back to the menu? | 16:30 |
| cypher-neo | I don't like extra mouse clicks... | 16:30 |
| roasted | o.O | 16:31 |
| roasted | it's one extra mouse click, no? | 16:31 |
| cypher-neo | Still... | 16:31 |
| Fyodorovna | cypher-neo, I am using the cairo dock it's off button has a restart. | 16:31 |
| Ian_Corne | cypher-neo: it's there because you shouldn't have to restart often :) | 16:32 |
| cypher-neo | I remember that there was a specific mod for GNOME Shell which added the Restart directly to the menu. | 16:32 |
| cypher-neo | I was just wondering if there was a similar mod for Unity, or I could use Cairo Dock. | 16:32 |
| cypher-neo | Also, another question... and this is also kind of anal because I know how to do the said operation in both apt and synaptic. | 16:34 |
| cypher-neo | But if you add a repository how do you force the package lists to refresh in USC? | 16:35 |
| * jtrucks never uses synaptic. what's the advantage? | 16:35 | |
| cypher-neo | I'm just wondering what decided when USC refreshes. Because it doesn't automatically refresh when a PPA is added. | 16:36 |
| cypher-neo | Which is a major oversight, imho. | 16:36 |
| bazhang | cypher-neo, shutting down usc before apt-get update | 16:36 |
| cypher-neo | bazhang, lol! That's the only way? | 16:37 |
| bazhang | cypher-neo, is there not a refresh on usc? I dont use it so cannot say. how are you adding the ppa btw | 16:37 |
| cypher-neo | bazhang, Okay, well... that was what I did. I was just wondering if there was an option in USC (like what exists in Synaptic) to refresh the packages lists. | 16:38 |
| cypher-neo | bazhang, Just for fun I added the package list using Software Sources inside USC. | 16:38 |
| ironhalik | hmm, anyone using gadugadu with piding on precise? | 16:41 |
| roasted | cypher-neo: the mod for Gnome Shell also came about it confused newer users that you had to hold down ALT for additional options in the menu, which I downright disagree with since "restart" is not an advanced feature that should be hidden like that by default. | 16:46 |
| roasted | (sorry wasn't paying attention in channel for a while) | 16:46 |
| philinux | roasted: have you seen the 12.10 top right menu suggestions | 16:47 |
| roasted | philinux: I have not. *googles* | 16:47 |
| topyli | it is a bit odd. the rationale seems to be that users mostly want to suspend and continue their work later | 16:47 |
| roasted | topyli: that would work great, if suspend worked on 100% of computers out there. | 16:48 |
| roasted | topyli: it does not, so I'd disagree to suspend being the only option there. | 16:48 |
| topyli | the reboot/shutdown options will also pop up if you push the power button on your computer, which does make some sense | 16:48 |
| roasted | topyli: agreed there. | 16:48 |
| roasted | topyli: however, most people I know have their tower somewhat hidden, which kind of detracts from the logistics behind that point to some degree. | 16:48 |
| roasted | topyli: but iwth a ton of users being on laptops, it makes a ton of sense. | 16:48 |
| philinux | roasted: http://iloveubuntu.net/ubuntu-1210s-indicator-menus-refinements-published | 16:49 |
| philinux | When you look at the 12.04 menu the shutdown has three dots shutdown... which means more sort of | 16:50 |
| roasted | Why not just have 2 options. "Log out" and "Power options..." of some sort? | 16:50 |
| roasted | hit power options, suspend, hibernate, shut down, restart | 16:51 |
| roasted | clean menu, all functionality. | 16:51 |
| philinux | roasted: I like the 12.10 arrangement | 16:51 |
| roasted | I just didn't agree with Gnome Shell's ALT key requirement to have restart show up. | 16:51 |
| philinux | Hope it gets backported | 16:51 |
| roasted | So many users, even tech people I told about said, wait really? | 16:51 |
| roasted | One guy even said "Now that's some stupid Apple-style crap there". Word for word. Made me LOL pretty hard... | 16:52 |
| topyli | oh well. this is what extensions are for if it annoys you too much :) | 16:53 |
| === philinux is now known as eye-gor | ||
| topyli | i'm happy enough once i finally discovered how to shut down. it's not obvious by any measure | 16:54 |
| topyli | https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/5/alternative-status-menu/ | 16:55 |
| roasted | I loved gnome shell otherwise. | 16:56 |
| roasted | but since getting used to unity in 12.04, I'm kind of a unity fanboy now. It's weird... | 16:56 |
| roasted | never thought it would happen... | 16:56 |
| eye-gor | Same here | 16:56 |
| cypher-neo | Ditto | 16:57 |
| jtrucks | I just type reboot at a prompt to restart. | 16:57 |
| jtrucks | works every time and it isn't hidden ;) | 16:57 |
| roasted | This HUD thing is addicting as well. | 16:57 |
| cypher-neo | I hated Unity, and was quite open about my Unity hatred in 10.10 and 11.04. | 16:57 |
| cypher-neo | But I quite like Unity now | 16:57 |
| roasted | cypher-neo: I was extremely vocal against Unity as well. | 16:58 |
| roasted | Granted, I knew Unity would get better, but I always felt as though for each +1 Gnome Shell would have, Unity would only be +0.5 | 16:58 |
| roasted | Like each Unity step would = two GS steps... | 16:58 |
| topyli | nothing is ready on day 1, and unity too needed some time. i think it's getting there | 16:58 |
| roasted | I just felt like Unity would lag behind and not contain as much momentum as GS. | 16:58 |
| * cypher-neo nods | 16:58 | |
| roasted | topyli: no doubt. I just never felt confident it would solidify into something as solid as I'm seeing in 12.04. | 16:58 |
| cypher-neo | Everyone else felt the same apparently. Didn't virtually every Ubuntu based fork start using GNOME Shell instead of Unity? | 16:59 |
| roasted | I never once thought I'd actually prefer Unity. Never. I always wanted to like it, I always tried to tolerate it, but it just drove me crazy for the most part. | 16:59 |
| roasted | I can only hope Unity will pop up on other distros now that it's proving to not suck so much. | 16:59 |
| roasted | Fedora with Unity would be a nice thing to toy around with, imo... | 17:00 |
| topyli | won't happen. fedora always sports default gnome :) | 17:00 |
| topyli | well mostly | 17:00 |
| roasted | topyli: I never meant by default... | 17:00 |
| roasted | but, an installable option. | 17:00 |
| roasted | kind of like how GS is on Ubuntu currently. | 17:00 |
| roasted | not default, but apt-get'able | 17:00 |
| topyli | yeah, there might be someone interested enough to create an unity repository for fedora, but so far i don't think there is one | 17:01 |
| cypher-neo | lol. That would be nice in Fedora | 17:01 |
| roasted | fedora originally had plans to support it, but canceled when the unity backlash began this time last year | 17:01 |
| roasted | maybe that will change?? | 17:02 |
| cypher-neo | Myself, personally? I'm just so happy that GIMP is back! | 17:02 |
| roasted | Gimp? | 17:02 |
| roasted | Gimp left? | 17:02 |
| roasted | you mean the default CD? | 17:02 |
| cypher-neo | That build-dependancy nightmare at the end of 11.10 left me GIMPless for about 2 months. | 17:02 |
| roasted | I was using 2.7 on 11.10 via ppa. I hadn't ran into any issues. *shrug* | 17:02 |
| topyli | i doubt red hat would support official unity work in the fedora camp, because all the patches would go under canonical's "license agreement" | 17:02 |
| cypher-neo | I mean the updated GIMP PPA with Single Window Mode | 17:03 |
| topyli | or that's how i've understood this | 17:03 |
| roasted | cypher-neo: yeah... that's what I was using. 2.7 (which introduces single window mode) | 17:03 |
| cypher-neo | Mmm, 2.8rc1 is out now | 17:03 |
| cypher-neo | Different PPA though | 17:03 |
| roasted | topyli: so, while unity is open source, canonical still has some sort of EULA with it? | 17:03 |
| topyli | roasted: you have to assign copyright to canonical | 17:04 |
| cypher-neo | roasted, I don't remember all the details, but at one point GIMP wouldn't build because it had unmet dependances. So I went to manually build it. | 17:04 |
| topyli | which honestly isn't any worse than what the FSF does with GNU tools, but still | 17:04 |
| cypher-neo | roasted, Couldn't build the dependancy one tier down because it had unmet dependances | 17:04 |
| cypher-neo | roasted, Went down 7 tiers, and kept finding packages that wouldn't build!! | 17:04 |
| roasted | topyli: yeah... I can see red hat being in a tiffle just knowing they'd have to associate with anything else other than GPL3 or whatever. | 17:05 |
| cypher-neo | roasted, Finally gave up, and figured someone would sort it out and make a new PPA which worked. | 17:05 |
| roasted | cypher-neo: well dang. I didn't have that sort of nightmare, but I didn't use gimp THAT heavily. | 17:05 |
| roasted | I love how the most basic of scripts can simplify your life so much | 17:07 |
| roasted | I just did a quick and dirty bin bash script to run apt-get update twice, upgrade, dist-upgrade, wget google chrome, dpkg -i it, and install a ton of apps from the repos | 17:07 |
| roasted | so now I can sit here as my fresh install on a new laptop comes to life exactly as I want it to | 17:08 |
| roasted | that said, it's lunchtime. cya fellas! | 17:08 |
| skwishy | So I installed xscreensaver, but seems like a different screen locking system, compared to 11.04. Are there no more screensavers bundled by default in 12.04? | 17:09 |
| bazhang | !find screensaver | 17:09 |
| ubottu | Found: gnome-screensaver, libkscreensaver5, libxcb-screensaver0, libxcb-screensaver0-dbg, libxcb-screensaver0-dev, xscreensaver, xscreensaver-data, xscreensaver-gl, gnome-screensaver-flags, kscreensaver (and 12 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=screensaver&searchon=names&suite=precise§ion=all | 17:09 |
| santagada | I have no sound, but alsa found a sound card and all volume levels seems to be on 100% even on alsamixer | 17:10 |
| santagada | when I plug the headphones (ones that I know are working) I don't hear the bleep that you should hear when plugin on a live input | 17:11 |
| santagada | if I try to plug it on the mic input I do hear it... | 17:11 |
| pepee | is someone having troubles with synaptics touchpads, like random cursor jumps while dragging images or selecting text? | 17:11 |
| skwishy | Ok, seems that gnome-screensaver is installed, I just can't find where to configure it to use something other than a black screen. | 17:12 |
| pepee | also, multiarch fail: try installing fp-compiler:i386, you will need binutils:i386, wich will delete lots of packages | 17:12 |
| dekuked | hey, I installed 12.04 via the alternate cd and don't know what to do. I used an ecrypted home + lvm, but now it boots by default and hangs at a pitch black screen (no power going to the display). When I run it in safe mode with networking eth0 still doesn't auto connect, and even when I run ifconfig eth0 129.168.0.13, assigning it an address it still can't connect to the network. | 17:13 |
| dekuked | so the display is effed and I can't even update/upgrade it. What should I do? | 17:14 |
| pepee | dekuked, use dhclient -v eth0 | 17:14 |
| dekuked | k | 17:14 |
| pepee | try fixing dpkg/apt-get | 17:14 |
| dekuked | and what about xorg? I remember I used to use linux, got the display working via xorg -reconfigure or some shit to get a xorg.conf that works. | 17:14 |
| dekuked | what's the recommendationg there? | 17:14 |
| dekuked | pepee: k, ill update it, hopefully the graphics comes around. | 17:15 |
| pepee | dekuked, you don't even need that file, try renaming it to xorg.conf.bkp or something | 17:15 |
| === bulldog98_ is now known as bulldog98 | ||
| pepee | also, startx should give you some output | 17:16 |
| dekuked | also, as a heads up the packages installer (where I selected openssh server and ubuntu desktop) wouldn't let me install anything | 17:16 |
| dekuked | got an error saying something generic everytime | 17:16 |

| BluesKaj | then turn those controls up to the max. | 17:26 |
| grylos | has anybody tested 12.04 beta?? is solved the overheating problem at this version? | 17:26 |
| cypher-neo | grylos, You mean the overheating problem that 10.10 and 11.04 had? | 17:27 |

| heckman | I wish I could get my console working :/ | 17:29 |
| grylos | cypher-neo: these are good news!! | 17:30 |
| cypher-neo | grylos, I haven't pressed my computer really hard, but Unity by itself used to cause me to overheat in 11.10 and Unity is not causing any heat problems for me in 12.04 | 17:30 |
| cypher-neo | grylos, It's very good news!! | 17:30 |
| cypher-neo | grylos, My best sugggestion would be to download the beta and check it for yourself. | 17:31 |
| cypher-neo | grylos, If you have a flash drive you can install using usb-drive-creator. | 17:32 |
| cypher-neo | grylos, Then preview, and try installing and running things | 17:32 |
| grylos | cypher-neo: actually i tried 15 minutes before the suggestion of some guys in some forums, to activate the the pcie_aspm in grub | 17:33 |
| cypher-neo | grylos, pcie_aspm? | 17:33 |
| cypher-neo | grylos, What is that? | 17:34 |
| santagada | BlakJak, didn't work, everything is at 100 and unmutted and it still doesn't work | 17:34 |
| * cypher-neo will be back... shortly. | 17:35 | |
| grylos | cypher-neo: it isn't the best solution because it can invoke problems, but i notice that laptop has lower temperature | 17:35 |
| santagada | BlakJak, any other idea? | 17:35 |
| johnjohn101 | so how close is 12.04 to being done? I've installed all the latest updates and there is 8 days to go. | 17:36 |

| santagada | BluesKaj: http://paste.ubuntu.com/935768/ | 17:44 |
| santagada | bazhang: thanks | 17:44 |
| skwishy | is "gnome-settings-daemon" related to locking the screen? | 17:45 |
| skwishy | or at least is "gnome-settings-daemon" related to capturing keyboard shortcuts? | 17:46 |
| santagada | BluesKaj: hda intel chipset is vt1705 | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | santagada, cat /proc/asound/module . | 17:48 |

| santagada | BluesKaj: 0 snd_hda_intel | 17:50 |
| BluesKaj | santagada, alt+f2 , kdesudo kate /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf . Add this line to the bottom of the file and save it . options snd_hda_intel index=0 | 17:53 |
| santagada | BluesKaj: will use vim but thanks | 17:55 |
| BluesKaj | santagada, sory , thought i was on kubuntu chat ...use whatever editor suits you | 17:56 |
| skwishy | How can I debug what happens after pressing a keyboard shortcut? I'm trying to "see" what fails when locking the screen. Other shortcuts work, but ctrl-alt-l doesnt do anything, however "gnome-screensaver-command -l" from bash works. | 17:56 |
| BluesKaj | santagada, after adding the line and saving the file , you may have to reboot | 17:57 |
| santagada | BluesKaj: done, can't I just do a modprobe to load it? | 17:57 |
| skwishy | I also see "/usr/bin/gnome-screensaver --no-daemon" is running. | 17:58 |
| BluesKaj | santagada, modprobe can't hurt , but alsa may need to be reloaded to see the changes | 17:58 |
| santagada | BluesKaj: I tried "sudo alsa force-reload" but it didn't fix it | 17:59 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, forceing the reload doesn't always work | 17:59 |

| BarkingFish | Evening guys. Can I check something? Is it possible for Gnome and KDE to co-exist in Kubuntu? I have stuff I need from Ubuntu which isn't in Kubuntu, but I don't want to lose Kubuntu, and I want the system to look like KDE... | 19:16 |
| Logan_ | BarkingFish: Yes, definitely. | 19:24 |
| Logan_ | You should be able to install Gnome-based software in Kubuntu. | 19:24 |
| Logan_ | Which "stuff" are you referring to? | 19:25 |
| dekuked | so what am I supposed to do if x is stuck hanging in the boot process? | 19:26 |
| dekuked | cause x is runnign fine when it asks for the lvm pass | 19:26 |
| dekuked | but dies pretty quick right after | 19:26 |
| BarkingFish | Logan_, I'm looking to double up the keyboard support, so I can get something which works in Inuktitut or CAS :) | 19:27 |
| Logan_ | Ah. | 19:27 |
| BarkingFish | I want at least the gnome base, plus a decent gnome text editor so I can use functions and stuff from the same DE | 19:27 |
| BarkingFish | but without losing KDE and having my desktop look all brown and thingified :P | 19:28 |
| dekuked | hello? | 19:29 |
| heckman | dekuked: you could switch to another tty and kill X | 19:30 |
| Logan_ | BarkingFish: You might have to switch to the Gnome desktop environment. | 19:30 |
| BarkingFish | >:( | 19:30 |
| dekuked | heckman: how do I switch tty? | 19:30 |
| BarkingFish | I'd rather eat my gym trainers :P | 19:30 |
| heckman | I think CTRL + ALT + F1 (will put you on tty1) | 19:31 |
| heckman | Once you are done, do the same but with F7 to go back to where X is normally runny | 19:31 |
| heckman | running* | 19:31 |
| Logan_ | BarkingFish: Or Unity. | 19:31 |
| BarkingFish | 0.o | 19:31 |
| BarkingFish | I'll wait till KDE get an Inuktitut language pack out :) | 19:32 |
| Logan_ | BarkingFish: Do you know what the package is called? | 19:33 |
| Logan_ | Actually, it doesn't look like there's a specific package for the Inuktitut keyboard layout (or any of them). | 19:34 |
| BarkingFish | there's no specific package as such, all i need is to install gnome's base, keyboard and language support, and a text editor :) | 19:34 |
| dekuked | I keep seeing a fleeting error saying swap not present or something | 19:34 |
| Logan_ | It's just within the language support. | 19:34 |
| Logan_ | Yeah. | 19:34 |
| Logan_ | BarkingFish: It's really not that bad: http://i.imgur.com/J9Ud9.jpg | 19:35 |
| BarkingFish | i need the features of gnome, without wrecking kde. If using the keyboard support means losing kde, I'll stick with what I have. | 19:35 |
| * BarkingFish puts his sunglasses on, takes a migraine pill and darkens his room down# | 19:36 | |

| dekuked | what the fsck | 19:38 |
| dekuked | uh... | 19:40 |
| dekuked | looking at stuff on google | 19:40 |
| dekuked | how tested is lvm encryption? | 19:40 |
| tomodachi | dekuked: its been around for years | 19:41 |
| dekuked | but the swap error I'm seeing is apparently pretty common with lvm installs... since lvm was introduced | 19:41 |
| dekuked | when I run "sudo swapon -a" I get this: | 19:42 |
| dekuked | swapon: /dev/mapper/hostname-swap_1: read swap header failed: Invalid argument | 19:43 |
| BarkingFish | dekuked, what are you on? ubuntu or kubuntu? | 19:44 |
| dekuked | ubuntu 12.04 | 19:45 |
| dekuked | swapon -a is trying to use /dev/mapper/hostname-swap_1 | 19:45 |
| dekuked | swapon -s list /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 | 19:45 |
| BarkingFish | ok - i don't think i can help you anyhow, if you're using lvm - i have no experience. sorry | 19:45 |
| dekuked | yeah encrypted lvm issue... | 19:46 |
| BarkingFish | normally I'd just tell people to use a partition manager and format their swap, and then remount it. but with lvm, i wouldn't know where to start :) | 19:46 |
| dekuked | ugh | 19:46 |
| dekuked | I don't know wheret to start either | 19:46 |
| dekuked | is there any real benefit to using lvm? | 19:46 |
| dekuked | I mean I kind of did as "what the hell, maybe it's useful/tested by now" | 19:47 |
| dekuked | usually I just encrypt my home fs | 19:47 |
| dekuked | is there any real benefit for lvm on a desktop machine? | 19:49 |

| nemo | The prefs menu in nav still worked fine | 21:23 |
| dekuked | I think that these drivers should be open source and in the mainstream kernel... | 21:24 |
| dekuked | could someone correct me on that assumption? | 21:24 |
| nemo | Even clicking the X to close was ignored. Or right clicking on othello in the Unity app bar | 21:24 |
| nemo | (and choosing close) | 21:24 |
| nemo | checking ~/.xsession-errors, there were a bunch of errors about the app having a timestamp that was invalid or something. Was like suddenly it lost track of the app | 21:24 |
| nemo | anyway. had to use killall to finish it off, which is a bit disconcerting. you'd think Unity would have been able to issue a kill. | 21:25 |
| nemo | oh. also I reallly hate that message bar in the new othello - I don't know how many other apps have it, but it means every game message shrinks the playing area which drives me bonkers | 21:25 |
