[12:13] hey guys.. [12:13] ubuntu ist showing me that i have to do a dist-upgrade [12:13] http://pastebin.com/HtKDHujK [12:13] but is that right? [12:13] removing unity and ubuntu-desktop?? [12:19] leo-unglaub, if you do "sudo apt-get upgrade", what gets held back? [12:19] popey: libunity-core-5.0-5 linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic unity unity-common unity-services [12:20] leo-unglaub, what does apt-cache policy unity return [12:20] unity: [12:20] Installiert: 5.12+bzr2439ubuntu0+709 [12:20] Kandidat: 5.12+bzr2444ubuntu0+709 [12:20] Versionstabelle: [12:20] 5.12+bzr2444ubuntu0+709 0 [12:20] 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/unity-team/staging/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages [12:20] *** 5.12+bzr2439ubuntu0+709 0 [12:20] 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status [12:20] 5.12-0ubuntu1.1 0 [12:20] 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages [12:20] 5.10.0-0ubuntu6 0 [12:20] 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages [12:21] leo-unglaub, why are you using the unity team staging ppa? [12:21] popey: because the version witch was shipped with 12.04 was to broken on my system [12:22] i have 3 monitors here [12:22] and that was a hard one to work with [12:25] the staging ppa isn't generally designed for end users to use on a production basis [12:25] i know...and i don't like it at all...but what else can i do if the "current stable" ist to broken on my system? [12:25] it was switching to the staging ppa or to a different distro.. [12:27] there are plenty of options in between bathing the baby and throwing the baby out with the bath water [12:27] anway, which bug is fixed in staging which isn't in the stock unity? [12:27] i.e. which bug is affecting you? [12:30] well, your example is not the same. but what would be the solution for that? ask you guys to backport a patch because otherwize it's not working? [12:31] well I dont know what the bug you're experiencing is yet, so hard to say [12:31] i don't know the bug number...but my problem was... [12:32] if i have 3 monitors connected the mouse starts lagging [12:32] and the application switcher was sooo lame, it was simply imposible to work with [12:34] you left a comment on bug 874619 [12:34] Launchpad bug 874619 in unity (Ubuntu) "Dragging windows around is slow/sluggish/laggy when multiple monitors are enabled" [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/874619 [12:34] i know, but thats not the one witch got fixed yet [12:34] well that one is in commit 2470 [12:35] yes, i know...but thats not the one witch was fixed yet [12:37] which and witch not the same. one has a pointy hat and broom for transportation [12:38] this is all very funny...but it isn't fixing my problem right now.. [12:38] witches cant be fixed. must burn at the stake [12:38] ??? [12:38] what are you talking about? [12:39] me? why are you talking witches? [12:39] ugi, enough.. [12:39] should that be funny? [12:39] leo-unglaub, you could wait until that merge lands in the staging ppa [12:40] and use do "sudo apt-get upgrade" rather than dist-upgrade till then [12:43] popey: but my current problem with the package upgrad is not on witch results from code changes..it's a dependency problem [12:43] in the debian files.. [12:45] Hello how do I enable Unity 3D in VMware? [12:50] leo-unglaub, sure I'm just trying to get you back to using precise and precise/updates precise/proposed, rather than staging [12:50] seems not quite enough, but whichever ... or is that whatever? hmm nm [12:51] popey: i know, but i can't do that because otherwize my desktop is not useable.. [12:51] how do you know that? [12:51] and ican't have a unuseable desktop for a few month [12:51] we release stable release updates for unity [12:51] how i know? i just did the upgrade because otherwize i hade those problems [12:51] they hit proposed then updates [12:52] well this is why I was asking what the bug is, so I could trace where it is [12:53] we cherry-pick updates for precise [12:53] i don't know the launchpad bug number..i have no idea if someone reported that... [12:54] there are so much buigs on launchpad that someone not involfed in the programm has problems to find anything [12:54] i would recommend you purge the staging ppa, and take the version of unity in the precise updates [12:54] and let me know if that's still an issue [12:55] and if it is, file a bug [12:55] okay, if will do that...moment [12:58] Hello how do I enable Unity 3D in Ubuntu 12.04 running in VMware? [12:59] Fifo, does VMWare have some kind of guest extensions / drivers you can install? [13:01] Fifo, personally i use virtualbox in which unity 3d works fine, I've never tried in vmware [13:06] popey: Yes, VMware has VMware Tools, but it doesn't support Unity 3D [13:06] bummer [13:06] popey: I will try to use VirtualBox. [13:07] with virtualbox, do the install and then in the guest just do "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-x11" [13:07] popey: Ubuntu 12.04 needs PAE. How do I enable it? [13:08] Fifo, i have not had to enable that in virtualbox [13:09] popey: But I noticed that it needs PAE to work. [13:09] Fifo, looks like its enabled by default in virtualbox [13:09] in settings -> system [13:09] there's "Extended features: Enable PAE/NX" which on my system is ticked [13:09] and I dont recall ticking that myself [13:10] I have enabled that, it's booting now (why does it take 5 minutes to boot?) [13:10] (I'm running it from a real CD) [13:15] Fifo, takes very little time to boot from an ISO on the hard disk. I rarely boot a VM from optical media [13:17] popey: I didn't want to waste my disk space because my HDD is low on disk space so I deleted the ISO file. [13:18] gotcha [13:20] It's working... [13:20] cool [13:22] :) === james is now known as Guest82665 [14:15] Yo popey [14:20] popey, if you are doing country specific requests in a lens, I suggest using http://geoip.ubuntu.com/lookup or http://geoiplookup.wikimedia.org, in addition of locale. [14:32] davidcalle, yeah, i saw that you'd used that in the wikipedia lens, I'll probably do the same.
