Haven't they usually been held on -meeting? [10:47] No, they're on testing, isn't it [10:48] S**T I got it wrong [10:48] It's metting, you're right [10:49] For the "n"th time, please join the Ubuntu QA Meeting on #ubuntu-meeting at 1400UTC tmr. [10:50] Chair will be me [11:17] Bye [11:22] Howdy all [11:24] is there such a tool to do a system audit? Like to see the difference between all installed packages and files and the rest? [12:24] When i finish downloading and installing packages for ubuntu 12.10 nothing happens. [12:24] Via Terminal. [12:24] you wanted it to crash? [12:25] Reading package lists... Done ivke@ivke:~$ [12:25] This is the last two lines. [12:25] And when i rebote it's still 12.04 [12:25] how *exactly* did you download and install the packages? [12:26] sudo sed -i 's/precise/quantal/g' /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [12:27] that is a strange way to upgrade [12:27] Do you recomend any other way? [12:30] Steevca: sudo do-release-upgrade ...changing the sources.list and upgrading is not a recommended method [12:30] pretty sure do-release-upgrade does it [12:30] but it's been a long time, as I normally test the iso images, so reinstalls are my main method [12:32] actaully sudo do-release-upgrade -d , for a devel OS , but he left ...he''ll probly be back === ninjak__ is now known as ninjak === ninjak_ is now known as ninjak [14:08] ( I was asking on #kubuntu -- wrong) -> No new for KDE 4.9 RC2 ? ( current (k)ubuntu 12.10 alpha3 still has 4.8.90 ( RC1) [14:09] hello all. I am unable to update/install/remove any packages on my quantal install. I continuously get the following error: Errors were encountered while processing: [14:09] nvidia-current [14:09] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [14:09] can't find any info on it online and no way to remove the nvidia pkg [14:10] psypher246: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) && sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current [14:11] genii-around: can't install the linux headres, get the same error about nvidia [14:12] all it ever wants to do is try install that nvidia pks [14:12] genii-around, do you know if it is safe to go with nvidia drivers on this pre-release (*ubuntu alpha1/2/3) ? [14:13] psypher246: Try first then: sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current then: sudo apt-get -f install ... then the two commands from earlier === okay is now known as centrelink [14:13] can't remove nvidia either [14:13] bretzel|Linux: They work fine for me here [14:13] can't use apt for anything [14:14] any apt command i run wants to install nvidia and failsd [14:14] genii-around, thanks :-) So if I need it I will know it's okay thanks to your test then :-) [14:14] psypher246: Did you do something outside of the package manager like try to manually install the nvidia driver, etc? That would screw it up [14:14] nope [14:15] fresh install of quantal alpha, then weeks lateer tried to upgrade [14:15] bretzel|Linux: I have an older card, 9300 GM [14:15] GS, rather [14:15] i's not nvidia-current then -- it would be nvidia-legacy ? [14:15] psypher246: What does just the: sudo apt-get -f install report back? [14:16] same [14:16] 1 not fully installed or removed. [14:16] and then tries installing nvidia [14:16] bretzel|Linux: No, it's nvidia-current, 302.17-0ubuntu2 [14:16] psypher246: I ran into that problem , a nvidia partial install , i fixed it by using the recovery kernel , "repair broken packages" dialog [14:16] ok so reboot go to recovery and fix? [14:17] genii-around, that is why my sentence ended as a question :-) [14:17] psypher246: it's worth a try [14:17] cool cool cool brb [14:23] I have tried to update ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10,i have some changes but the ubuntu is still reporting it's 12.04 LTS. [14:24] I can't play videos on youtube that run with Flash,but i can ones that play with HTML5 player. [14:30] BluesKaj: runing that repiar did allow me to upgrade all my other pkgs but still not able install/remove/upgrade the nvidia-current [14:31] don't understand why i can't just remove the pkg [14:36] any ideas anyone, or should I just format reload? [14:41] so, 12.10 keeps offering me a partial upgrade, but if I try to do it, it tells me I don't have a meta package installed (ubuntu-desktop), which is said to be the latest version if I try to install it in apt [14:53] anyone running 12.10 alpha? is it stable-ish? [14:54] psyyou have to drop to a tty , login and sudo service lightdm stop (or gdm or kdm or whichever display manager you use ) , sudo apt-get purge nvidia current [14:54] psy [14:55] great :/ [14:56] timmillwood: mine is [14:57] BluesKaj: I upgraded to 12.04 about 2 months early, wondering about doing the same for 12.10. [14:57] of course , I'm on kde [14:59] I was on xubuntu, recently converted it to real ubuntu to try unity, it's actually grown on me. [14:59] timmillwood: I also ran ubuntu/unity/gnome shell for a couple of weeks just to test it and it was stable ,the desktops just aren't to my taste [18:45] is it just me or is xorg all broken as of now? [18:47] Hm [18:53] It looks ok to me. [18:54] burner: Probably just you ... although I'm using xorg-edgers here [18:54] I'm not using xorg-edgers... I think. [18:54] hrm... well I get broken packages like crazy on two different pcs [18:54] * burner pokes around some more... [18:54] thanks for the feedback! [18:55] Could be related to a binary driver. [18:55] I'm not using any. [18:55] well i can't even install xserver-xorg due to broken dependencies... i dist-upgraded without looking at what it removed [18:55] i think i'll just have to wait for new packages [18:57] burner: don't run -proposed in the devel release [18:59] ah hah! Thanks micahg! === ovidius is now known as ovidius2 === Guest41633 is now known as TheLordOfTime [22:47] echo? Echo Echo echo..... [22:47] so hows Alpha3???lots of bugs???
