| craigbass1976 | Sounds like it caused problems in 11.10, so I wondered if it was no longer an issue in 12.04 | 00:06 |
| Bender_ | K4R0L15, i did it! | 00:07 |
| Bender_ | K4R0L15, I typed in a terminal: sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* | 00:07 |
| Bender_ | then i installed the driver with the --install --force option, and not --build dpkg. | 00:08 |
| Bender_ | Now the driver works perfect and I have no more warning in the software update :) | 00:08 |
| craigbass1976 | Will sudo apt-get remove gdm-guest-session do it? | 00:10 |

| caravel | Here is mine -- hi everybody. Are there any specifics about running x11vnc over 12.04 beta2... livecd itself ? I tried and failed with some « channel 4: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused » as soon as I attempt to remote login (via ssh tunnel, if it matters). | 01:21 |
| caravel | ( nb. x11vnc -once is what I generally use to assist 10.04 users ) | 01:22 |
| caravel | 2) A user trying 12.04 beta LiveCD is having a crash shown in Apport (if I understand this right, Apport is the equivalent of ABRT here). Is there some way to reopen the submission wizard after it was closed ? | 01:25 |
| GraemeLion | caravel: Has he run an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade? | 01:26 |
| caravel | (I do have the crash report, got it over ssh, willing to submit it myself manually otherwise -- happens systematically at boot, just after session has been open) | 01:26 |
| GraemeLion | There's a chance this is probably fixed | 01:26 |
| caravel | GraemeLion: no, this is a LiveCD (!!) | 01:26 |
| GraemeLion | Straight off the beta2 CD I had a persistant crash that's gone away | 01:26 |
| caravel | (that's beta2 iso) | 01:26 |
| caravel | GraemeLion: fair enough, maybe it's not worth the effort I guess | 01:27 |
| GraemeLion | It might be.. next time it happens, ask him to go ahead and report it. | 01:27 |
| GraemeLion | It'll respond if it's been reported already | 01:27 |
| caravel | GraemeLion: bet I did ask her already :) | 01:27 |
| GraemeLion | her :D | 01:27 |
| GraemeLion | My apologies. | 01:28 |
| caravel | GraemeLion: still I was wondering, can Apport be accessed afterwards to resubmit ? eg. if there were no connexion in the first place, after connecting to the internet.. | 01:29 |
| GraemeLion | I don't know.. honestly have never tried it | 01:37 |
| caravel | GraemeLion: no worries, thanks anyway | 01:37 |
| trism | caravel: the crash report should be in /var/crash/, you can use: ubuntu-bug /path/to/file.crash | 01:42 |
| caravel | trism: yes thanks, as I wrote I do have it already | 01:42 |
| caravel | trism: and cool, thanks for the cli tip | 01:42 |

| _tasslehoff_ | brendand: I think the installer is booted in efi mode on my pc (with an asus motherboard), cause it installs grub-efi. And since I haven't created an efi boot partition, nothing works. | 07:58 |
| _tasslehoff_ | is it possible to choose the type of partition table in the installer? | 08:12 |

| justdave | hmm, so maybe it does start and then quits without doing anything | 16:53 |
| justdave | I just did "start lightdm" and it found it, and claimed it started, but nothing happened. | 16:53 |
| justdave | it showed up in the process list for about 10 or 15 seconds, then disappeared | 16:53 |
| neco198 | Can you explain a little more detail for boot on comand promt | 16:54 |
| neco198 | ? | 16:54 |
| justdave | I don't have a monitor on this box, if it's trying to be smart or something. It normally runs headless and I VNC into it. | 16:55 |
| justdave | maybe it sees that there's no monitor and thinks it shouldn't bother starting. :) | 16:55 |
| justdave | yeah, I bet that's what's going on. If I start an old-style vnc server that runs a separate desktop session that seems to work fine | 17:02 |
| justdave | er, maybe not. things seem a bit crashy. :| | 17:04 |
| justdave | box was upgraded directly from lucis, if it matters | 17:04 |
| justdave | lucid* | 17:04 |
| vebulous | Sorry to just intrude, but I was hoping I can get a quick pointer. My upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 beta2 has somehow messed up. with grub | 17:07 |
| vebulous | none of my kernel entries work. they all say "error: no such partition" | 17:07 |
| justdave | vebulous: did you resize partitions or anything prior to the install? | 17:08 |
| justdave | device order might have changed or something | 17:08 |
| vebulous | no. I simply issed the update-manager -d command (or something like that) | 17:09 |
| vebulous | It's an upgrade from Onric to Precise | 17:09 |
| justdave | I know there's a way within grub to get a grub shell and explore the hard drive a bit | 17:09 |
| justdave | but I forget how off the top of my head | 17:09 |
| natman | anyone using kubuntu 12.04? hows it shaping up? | 17:09 |
| genii-around | natman: I'm pretty happy with it so far. | 17:10 |
| vebulous | I could have probably fixed this with legacy-grub. I never fully go the thang of grub2 | 17:10 |
| natman | genii-around: whats the default IM client and package man? | 17:10 |
| genii-around | natman: Muon is the default package manager. Not sure what the default IM client is, probably Kopete. I'm using Quassel mainly for the IRC | 17:12 |
| eagles0513875 | fyi in kde4 konversation is back genii-around just not installed by default | 17:12 |
| genii-around | eagles0513875: I prefer Quassel but thanks | 17:12 |
| natman | genii-around: cool, Kopete is getting old, was hoping for telepathy to be ready. Quassel is great | 17:12 |
| natman | Kvirc is also nice | 17:13 |
| eagles0513875 | i like kvirc alot | 17:13 |
| eagles0513875 | im on latest master branch compile but i think im due for a newer recompile | 17:13 |
| eagles0513875 | genii-around: do you feel kde as a whole has gotten faster with kde 4.8 | 17:14 |
| eagles0513875 | to me on my netbook it seems a hell of alot quicker | 17:15 |
| natman | i have an older ( 1.6 GHz centrino, 2GB ram, very small Nvida gfx card ), what *buntu would be best, it currently has Xubuntu - but i really dont see any preformance benifits for the xfce desktop | 17:15 |
| genii-around | eagles0513875: Not really for me, it seems relatively the same. But far less buggy apps and crashing etc | 17:18 |
| eagles0513875 | genii-around: and wwhat im really happy about is more control over akonadi | 17:20 |
| eagles0513875 | and nepomuk | 17:20 |
| cypher-neo | I was just wondering if there were any major differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit Precise ISO images. | 17:24 |
| cypher-neo | I remember back on 10.04 and 10.10 that Preview mode only worked on 32-bit. | 17:26 |
| cypher-neo | Has this been fixed? | 17:26 |
| cypher-neo | Can 64-bit users use an Ubuntu 64-bit Precise disc and Try Out the software before installing? | 17:26 |
| trism | cypher-neo: amd64 live usbs work here | 17:29 |
| cypher-neo | Good :D | 17:30 |
| cypher-neo | I'm glad amd64 Live Preview has been fixed. I have a 64-bit user I'm converting to Ubuntu today. :) | 17:31 |
| Arnold | cypher-neo, starting from Ubuntu 12.04, the default ISO you'll be downloading will be 64-bit anyway | 17:33 |
| jbicha | cypher-neo: I've never had a problem with Live mode on 64-bit and I've been using Ubuntu for years | 17:33 |
| jbicha | Arnold: that's not been confirmed, I believe 32-bit will still be default because it works most everywhere | 17:34 |
| Arnold | jbicha, so they are backing up from the early proposition? I just read a few days ago that they are still going to set the 64-bit being the default release for download | 17:35 |
| jbicha | Arnold: but did you read that from an official source? | 17:38 |
| Arnold | jbicha, no, it was not from an official source | 17:38 |
| cuco | hi all, my laptop has one of those dual GPU thingies. I have two problems: no HW acceleration is available for X, and the HDMI connection is not working. | 17:38 |
| cuco | for all i care - if only the intel card will work and the nvidia will not - I am happy | 17:39 |
| aantoon | hi, will 12.04 alternate support ssd+trim+luks out of the box or do I have to do some tweaking? | 17:44 |
| aantoon | knock knock | 17:49 |
| cuco | ssd should out of the box. | 17:51 |
| cuco | what is trim and lucks? | 17:51 |
| aantoon | sorry mean TRIM and luks | 17:52 |
| eagles0513875 | Trim and luks??? | 17:52 |
| eagles0513875 | whats that if you guys dont mind me asking im on 12.04 on an SSD on my netbook and kubuntu is super zippy and happy | 17:53 |
| aantoon | http://askubuntu.com/questions/59519/do-you-recommend-luks-encryption-on-a-ssd-trim-support | 17:54 |
| aantoon | about TRIM on 11.04 it lost my partition table after 1/2 year probably do TRIM | 17:56 |
| aantoon | that is why i ask if 12.04 and the kernel 3(up) will support it | 17:57 |
| cuco | aantoon: sorry, no idea :( | 17:59 |
| aantoon | #ubuntu-motu | 17:59 |
| eagles0513875 | aantoon: that drive encryption or home directory encryption | 18:00 |
| eagles0513875 | aantoon: there is a kernel channel, that youk about that | 18:00 |
| hechu | hi, is there anybody interesting in a M$ office clone (deep compatible with M$) in Ubuntu Linux ? it is not open source, but free. produced by a Chinese company. | 18:00 |
| aboSamoor | Hi, can someone help me with this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/986321? | 18:00 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 986321 in linux (Ubuntu) "READ/Write FPDMA QUEUED failures" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 18:00 |
| hechu | here is the wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingsoft_Office | 18:01 |
| aantoon | drive incryption | 18:01 |
| eagles0513875 | ahh im no help with that | 18:02 |
| eagles0513875 | i did have issues with home directory encryption | 18:02 |
| cypher-neo | hechu, LibreOffice is also free and it's included with Precise | 18:02 |
| eagles0513875 | cypher-neo: its based on the Open office code base but a million times better | 18:03 |
| eagles0513875 | libreoffice is maintained by the document foundation and development is so fast :) and tons of improvements with each new version | 18:03 |
| cypher-neo | eagles0513875, I know that. I use Libre every day. | 18:03 |
| hechu | cypher-neo, yes thank you. I know. but ,,, LibreOffice or OpenOffice are not good enough in compatible, | 18:04 |
| cypher-neo | hechu, Yes, they are! They can export and import from hundreds of office file formats. | 18:04 |
| eagles0513875 | cypher-neo: im actually working on the android port the UI for it :D | 18:05 |
| hechu | http://www.kingsoftstore.com/ this is the home page of the Kingsoft Offic ( only Windows version), now they are developing linux version, and released it's alpha3 version. | 18:05 |
| aantoon | eagles0513875: thanks for trying | 18:05 |
| cypher-neo | hechu, I've heard of people have issues with Open and LibreOffice before, but compatibility has never been an issue. | 18:05 |
| eagles0513875 | cypher-neo: the codebase has diverged quite a bit compared to the OOo.org codebase | 18:07 |
| hechu | cypher-neo, oh. I see. some times I have to exchange some office file with M$ users. it's sometimes a big problem in compatible issues. especially when I have to do some modification on their document. | 18:08 |
| eagles0513875 | hechu: they are constantly improving compatability with microsoft formats. The biggest problem is microsoft not following the ODF standards | 18:08 |
| cypher-neo | hechu, Then you need to convert your friends to Linux. lol | 18:08 |
| eagles0513875 | cypher-neo: not necessarily even if he converts them to libreoffice its a start | 18:09 |
| hechu | cypher-neo, yeah, I am trying convert my friends an my families. | 18:09 |
| cypher-neo | Good job hechu! | 18:10 |
| eagles0513875 | hechu: kubuntu is the best to get them on if they want something that is very similar to windows | 18:10 |
| hechu | cypher-neo, I want to say is this Chinese company, they have a contact with M$ in early of 90s. they have M$ format legally. | 18:11 |
| hechu | * contract * | 18:11 |
| eagles0513875 | bleh | 18:12 |
| hechu | actually, I am a community member of that company, a alpha tester of linux version office software. | 18:13 |
| Lint | no. the reason is that ´community´ is either lazy or incompetent and cannot implement a format properly. | 18:14 |
| cypher-neo | I'm going with greedy and incompetent. | 18:14 |
| hechu | oh, sorry my bad English, maybe you got misunderstanding me. | 18:15 |
| hexa- | hello | 18:15 |
| hexa- | I'm trying to build wine 1.5.2 on 64-bit precise but I cannot resolve the 32-bit xlib development dependency the configure script complains about | 18:16 |
| hexa- | configure: error: X 32-bit development files not found. Wine will be built without X support, which probably isn't what you want. You will need to install 32-bit development packages of Xlib/Xfree86 at the very least. | 18:16 |
| eagles0513875 | hexa-: you would need the ia32-libs installed | 18:16 |
| hexa- | I have | 18:17 |
| eagles0513875 | O_o i dunno then never compiled wine from source | 18:17 |
| eagles0513875 | hexa-: have you tried asking in the winehq channel | 18:17 |
| hexa- | yep | 18:17 |
| hexa- | they told me wine on 64 bit needs multiarch support to be built | 18:17 |
| hexa- | multiarch-support was already installed, ia32-libs too | 18:18 |
| cypher-neo | I don't understand why you're building it. 1.5.2 was released on the PPA source yesterday I think... | 18:18 |
| jtaylor | to build you likely need more stuff | 18:18 |
| jtaylor | apt-get build-dep wine should help | 18:18 |
| hexa- | need to add a custom patch to make diablo 3 downloader working | 18:19 |
| jtaylor | though not all may be coinstallable | 18:19 |
| cypher-neo | hexa-, Oh, I see. | 18:19 |
| essobi | My touchpad doesn't disable while I'm typing.... Hmm. | 18:19 |
| eagles0513875 | cypher-neo: he coudl also download the source package | 18:19 |
| cypher-neo | eagles0513875, Also, that. :) | 18:19 |
| eagles0513875 | hexa-: you tried apt-get source wine package to get it from the source repo | 18:19 |
| hexa- | I did try apt-get source wine first, then downloadaed the source packages - doesn't make a difference | 18:19 |
| hexa- | using the wine ppa | 18:20 |
| eagles0513875 | thats not right O_O | 18:20 |
| eagles0513875 | hexa-: try sudo apt-get build-dep wine | 18:20 |
| hexa- | doesn't make a difference as in they both complain about missing x 32 bit dev libs | 18:20 |
| eagles0513875 | dev libs for what | 18:20 |
| hexa- | already did | 18:20 |
| hexa- | "32-bit development packages of Xlib/Xfree86" | 18:20 |
| essobi | Anyone have an idea why my mousepad doesn't disable? | 18:20 |
| jtaylor | hexa-: check the debian/rules on how its built | 18:21 |
| hechu | I HAVE TO exchange some office document with my friends and business partner ( my client). they are usually M$ user. even LibreOffice/OpenOffice can open M$ Office document, but it's still many different between each other. The Chinese company, because the legally have file format of M$ offcie document, so they produced a M$ file deep compatible office software, called Kingsoft Office. now, they are developing Linux version. I have a alpha package of installa | 18:21 |
| essobi | s/mousepad/trackpad/ :D | 18:21 |
| hechu | tion file. I found the KSOffice can solve the problem of me (compatible with M$ document). | 18:21 |
| essobi | hechu: .... Okay? | 18:21 |
| trism | hexa-: bug 944321 (see the comments) | 18:22 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 944321 in wine1.4 (Ubuntu) "apt-get build-dep script for wine missing xorg and " [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/944321 | 18:22 |
| hexa- | jtaylor: it seems they're building with --enable-win64, but that does not create 32-bit executables unforunatelay | 18:22 |
| hexa- | trism thx | 18:22 |
| hechu | essobi, excuse me. | 18:22 |
| essobi | OKAY! | 18:22 |
| jtaylor | hexa-: so wine in the repository is 64 bit only? I doubt it | 18:22 |
| jtaylor | simplest is just to do quilt import your-patch and build the package | 18:23 |
| hexa- | it isn't | 18:23 |
| hexa- | thats what I was wondering about | 18:23 |
| hexa- | jtaylor with dpkg-buildpackage I suppose? | 18:24 |
| jtaylor | yes | 18:24 |
| jtaylor | -us -uc if you have no gpg key | 18:24 |
| hexa- | alright, thanks. I'll try that now. | 18:24 |
| hexa- | ok | 18:25 |
| mykrobinson | afternoon. Need some help with Download Helper giving me conversion failed errors, whether I use ffmpeg or mencoder. | 18:25 |
| jtaylor | you probably have to do QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt import | 18:25 |
| jtaylor | make sure it lands in debian/patches | 18:25 |
| trism | I don't think it is that simple, see the comments from the wine maintainer on that bug | 18:25 |
| hechu | essobi, my HP laptop touchpad can stop by "synclient touchpadoff=1" | 18:25 |
| essobi | hechu: I don't have a synclient compat touchpad. | 18:26 |

| tiox0 | I have been using an AT&T wireless dongle since Ubuntu 9,04, and I know it works in Ubuntu 11.10, but in 12.04 I cannot get it to work. | 19:14 |
| tiox0 | Network Manager isn't even recognizing it. I tested on a Windows machine with ACM installed and it works. | 19:14 |
| tiox0 | Is there a way to downgrade the Network Manager to get things working, or do I have to install a previous-version kernel? | 19:15 |
| jinjorge | does it make sense to downgrade to 11.10 from 12.04 then do a do-release-upgrade to test the upgrade process? | 19:18 |
| trism | tiox0: might be useful to see what sort of errors you get in /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/syslog when plugging it in | 19:19 |
| glosoli | hmm anyone has an idea hot to mame context menu not so full of everything, to edit it somehow ? | 19:19 |

| jack_^ | What's up with the NVIDIA drivers for 12.04? 173 appears to be broken atm... both in repo and upstream. is this something that can be fixed, or are the older cards not supported? | 19:25 |
| MisterT | hello? | 19:33 |
| bazhang | hi | 19:33 |
| MisterT | have you ever tried to install 12.04 on a macbook? | 19:34 |
| bazhang | MisterT, whats the issue, please describe clearly | 19:34 |
| MisterT | it can't start up. mostly Input/output errors | 19:35 |
| bazhang | MisterT, did you md5 the iso before burning it to cd? do the disk integrity check? burn at very low speed? | 19:35 |
| MisterT | i have no idea how to put the input into a file unless i type it into a text editor as it's trying (and failing) to boot, but it goes too fast | 19:35 |
| MisterT | eh, no | 19:36 |
| bazhang | thats always the first step | 19:36 |
| jesfre | @mistert: how old is the mac? | 19:36 |
| bazhang | !md5 | MisterT | 19:36 |
| ubottu | MisterT: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 19:36 |
| MisterT | yep, the md5 hashes are not the same | 19:42 |
| bazhang | that would be the issue then | 19:43 |
| MisterT | i thought that corruption of files was impossible over TCP | 19:45 |
| guntbert | MisterT: that is a big error :) | 19:46 |
| MisterT | i thought that TCP was created so that would not happen. Though i suppose it happens less than UDP | 19:47 |
| guntbert | MisterT: don't confuse these protocols - they have nothing to do with the integrity of a download | 19:48 |
| MisterT | oh | 19:49 |
| MisterT | yep, this one's not corrupted | 19:52 |
| bazhang | so burn at low speed, do the disk integrity check, and try again | 19:53 |
| MisterT | too bad i had to waste a good CDR learning that the hard way | 19:53 |
| bazhang | MisterT, next time use a usb stick | 19:53 |
| MisterT | i don't think this version of imac will boot from usb | 19:53 |
| MisterT | and as a reward, here's a kick-ass track | 19:56 |
| MisterT | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mCufKBjZKI | 19:56 |
| bazhang | MisterT, this is not place to post such things | 19:57 |
| MisterT | why not? | 19:57 |
| bazhang | MisterT, its a support channel | 19:57 |
| MisterT | fine | 19:58 |
| MisterT | but, whilest one is supporting, it can be boring without some good tuneage | 19:58 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-offtopic for the tuneage | 19:59 |
| MisterT | alright. | 19:59 |
