| Shirakawasuna | Hi all! I hope this isn't an inappropriate question to ask here, but I wanted to know if the software center has received significant speed improvements for the 12.10 release. It's a bit too slow for me, even with an i7 and 8Gb of ram, so I always use apt-get, but I used to love using it before the switch to html5 | 00:54 |
|---|---|---|
| micahg | Shirakawasuna: if something is prohibitively slow, please file bugs | 00:56 |
| Shirakawasuna | It takes 15 seconds to even start | 00:58 |
| Shirakawasuna | My understanding is that this is normal, for 12.04, as I've used it on several different computers. | 00:58 |
| Shirakawasuna | Just wanted to know if anyone was aware of specific improvements/resolved bug reports on the matter | 00:58 |
| micahg | that might be the current status, but I wouldn't call taking 15 seconds to start normal | 01:02 |
| micahg | took about 10 seconds for me on a i7 w/a 7200rpm drive on precise, not sure about quantal | 01:03 |
| micahg | Bug #945524 | 01:05 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 945524 in software-center (Ubuntu) "Applications Center starting too long" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/945524 | 01:05 |
| ajmitch | as well as multiple apt-xapian-index bugs | 01:05 |
| micahg | aye, that too | 01:05 |
| ajmitch | the latter is probably what kills my system more | 01:06 |
| ajmitch | as a data point: | 01:06 |
| ajmitch | 2012-08-06 13:06:11,256 - softwarecenter.performance - DEBUG - ** main window fully ready after: 25.7654662132 seconds | 01:06 |
| ajmitch | just started it on my laptop with an SSD, with 12.04 | 01:06 |
| * ajmitch does have an unusually large number of things in /etc/apt/sources.list, though :) | 01:09 | |
| Shirakawasuna | micahg: thanks for the response earlier. I apologize for going afk without acknowledging it! That bug report looks very informative. | 05:07 |

| nlsthzn | Hi all. Running the latest daily build of Lubuntu 12.10 in VBox. Just installed the Guest Addtions and Scale Mode works but when I try Full Screen it stays small (1024x768) and doesn't fill the screen... Any ideas? | 14:02 |
| edgy | Hi, I got kernel panic when I modified GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="vga=normal memmap=0x10000\$0x354d80000 memmap=0x100000\$0x1ca170000 quiet splash" | 14:03 |
| edgy | any hint what's wrong? | 14:03 |
| === Fyodorovna is now known as wilee-nilee | ||
| shane_ | can someone please tell me what are the required software sources for ubuntu 12.10, I think I must have deleted one two many when I reas removing some old ppa's where can I get a list please | 18:06 |
| shane_ | my updates have stopped working | 18:07 |
| trism | shane_: default source.list from an install I just completed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1132951/ | 18:11 |
| shane_ | ok thanks I will take a look | 18:11 |
| trism | shane_: though you really only need main (but restricted universe and multiverse are nice to have) | 18:12 |
| shane_ | thanks for your help trism, I was googling everywhere but it never come up with your link cheers | 18:12 |

| ls612 | I was using 12.04, but the support folks on that IRC said that my hardware was only supported in 12.10 | 19:07 |
| ls612 | Where do I go to get 12.10? | 19:07 |
| trism | ls612: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Alpha3 | 19:08 |
| ls612 | trism: that would be a problem, as my issue with 12.04 is that I had no internet. | 19:10 |
| ls612 | or cooling fan for that matter, but that's another story. | 19:10 |
| trism | ls612: there are links to downloading the cd there (and in the topic) | 19:11 |
| ls612 | Oh, duh, I missed that what with it being clearly labeled. sorry. | 19:12 |
| ls612 | trism: one more question, I have an intel i7 Ivy bridge proc. Should I get the PC (Intel x86) desktop CD or the 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD? | 19:14 |
| trism | ls612: depends on if you want to go 32 bit or 64 bit, I always go 64 bit myself now without many issues | 19:21 |
| trism | ls612: if you have 4gb+ ram you should probably go with the amd64 iso | 19:22 |
| ls612 | Cool 64 bit it is. (I have 8 GB of RAM) | 19:22 |
| ls612 | Thanks for your help. | 19:22 |
| Hanmac | some gnome dev say that my udev may be broken ... how can i check this? | 19:56 |
| edgy | Hi, I installed xubuntu-desktop and now the boot screen changed, I want my kubuntu-desktop screens back, how? | 20:10 |
| edgy | I tried sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth | 20:11 |
| edgy | and it's already set to: * 0 /lib/plymouth/themes/kubuntu-logo/kubuntu-logo.plymouth 150 auto mode | 20:11 |
| MrChrisDruif | edgy; if this is for version 12.04 or lower, please refer to #ubuntu for support | 20:12 |
| edgy | MrChrisDruif: this is quantal | 20:12 |
| trism | edgy: you would need to update the initramfs too, so it is usually easier to just reinstall the plymouth-theme-distro-logo package | 20:13 |
| edgy | trism: I did but still nothing changed | 20:13 |
| edgy | trism: I mean I did the initramfs but I haven't reinstalled that, let me try | 20:13 |
| edgy | trism: I now did sudo apt-get --reinstall install plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo plymouth-theme-kubuntu-text | 20:15 |
| edgy | trism: that's it? | 20:15 |
| edgy | I will reboot now and see | 20:17 |

| edgy | trism: still same xubuntu screen | 20:21 |
| Hanmac | for some reason S.M.A.R.T. from udev is not detected anymore :( ... can someone helps me? | 20:21 |
| trism | edgy: yeah seems that the xubuntu ones have higher priority so that won't work, hmm | 20:22 |
| edgy | trism: how did you figure out it has higher priority? | 20:22 |
| Hanmac | and it seems that the xserver does play ugly games with me :'( | 20:23 |
| lamalex | hello, i'm trying to upgrade to quantal- but none of my normal methods are working! i'm doing do-release-upgrade -d and update-manager -d but neither one sees a new development releas | 20:23 |
| lamalex | is there a trick im missng? | 20:23 |
| edgy | lamalex: isn't it better to make a fresh install? | 20:25 |
| trism | edgy: you can see the priority in the update-alternatives list, you may have to set default.plymouth and text.plymouth to your choices manually and then run update-initramfs | 20:25 |
| trism | edgy: or perhaps just uninstall the ones you don't want | 20:25 |
| lamalex | edgy, shouldnt be | 20:25 |
| edgy | trism: but in my case the first entry which is 0 is kubuntu like: * 0 /lib/plymouth/themes/kubuntu-logo/kubuntu-logo.plymouth 150 auto mode | 20:26 |
| edgy | lamalex: trism I think the new version won't be available from that command till the developers think it's somehow usable | 20:27 |
| edgy | trism: but fresh install is always better because you avoid old configuration files and packages that are obseleted | 20:28 |
| trism | lamalex: you need to select all available upgrades in software-properties-gtk on the updates tab, since lts defaults upgrading lts to lts | 20:28 |
| Hanmac | soo ... can someone help me with my udev problem? | 20:30 |
| edgy | Hanmac: what's the command that shows SMART is not detected? | 20:31 |
| chris| | lamalex, vim /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change Prompt to normal, then run update-manager -d | 20:31 |
| Hanmac | edgy: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681311 << there is the bug history | 20:31 |
| ubottu | Gnome bug 681311 in general "can not found SMART, but its available" [Normal,Resolved: notgnome] | 20:31 |
| lamalex | chris|, ah thank you | 20:32 |
| edgy | chris|: isn't that a default? | 20:32 |
| chris| | lamalex, for the future, update-manager uses http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/ to check for new upgrade targets | 20:32 |
| chris| | edgy, not on lts | 20:32 |
| wilee-nilee | Hello, what is the daily zsync link I get a failed URL with this zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/quantal-desktop-i386.iso.zsync | 20:34 |
| edgy | Hanmac: if you run smartctl manually does it work? | 20:35 |
| Hanmac | edgy ... yeah you could see the output that i added as attachment ... | 20:37 |
| Hanmac | i wonder why it does not work with gnome-disks ... | 20:37 |
| edgy | Hanmac: in gnome-disks you get what? | 20:38 |
| Hanmac | "SMART is not enabled" :( | 20:38 |
| edgy | Hanmac: you get that when you click "view smart data? | 20:39 |
| Hanmac | i cant normaly because its greyed out ... | 20:40 |
| Hanmac | its seems to work after i do this 'echo change > /sys/block/sda/uevent' manualy | 20:40 |
| trism | wilee-nilee: looks like it failed to build today (that is the correct link) | 20:40 |
| edgy | Hanmac: on the bug they it's a distro thing, but in my case it works well | 20:40 |
| edgy | Hanmac: is this a fresh installation? | 20:41 |
| wilee-nilee | trism, thanks I was wondering. | 20:41 |
| Hanmac | edgy no its an updated one ... (from oniric -> precise -> quantal) | 20:42 |
| edgy | Hanmac: I guess that could be the problem, can you try a liveCD or a fresh installation? | 20:42 |
| edgy | Hanmac: if that worked, and you are still curious, you can do a diff for the relavent dirs to see the cause but I doubt it's useful | 20:43 |
| Hanmac | hm ... i can test live cd later ... but a fresh installation, will do very later (October) | 20:44 |
| Hanmac | edgy can i ask you about xserver problems? | 20:44 |
| edgy | Hanmac: i am not an expert but feel free to ask | 20:44 |
| Hanmac | i dont know why but sometimes i get an white sceen, (that does not go away) and even the tty are white ... an idea what i can do? (i use ati card with mesa) | 20:46 |
| Hanmac | try to reboot your system when you see nothing :P | 20:47 |
| edgy | Hanmac: you installed the proprietary drivers? | 20:48 |
| edgy | Hanmac: try to use nomodeset on the kernel options or disable the framebuffer with vga=normal e.g | 20:48 |
| edgy | Hanmac: you can also check the X log files for any errors | 20:49 |
| edgy | Hanmac: I have to go now, good luck | 20:49 |
| Hanmac | no i use mesa ... fglrx is gone after last upgrade | 20:49 |
| edgy | Hanmac: did you check the logs? | 20:49 |
| edgy | Hanmac: still try the options I mentioned | 20:50 |
| edgy | bye | 20:50 |
| litropy | So, I'm using my laptop as a wireless repeater. It's receiving my network via wifi, and then I have it wired to another router (this router doesn't bridge). I find that during times of heavy data transfer, my laptop stops sending/receiving packets. It's still connected - iwconfig confirms that. What I have to do in order to resolve the issue is click the wireless icon in the menubar, then click the network I'm connected to. This te | 23:27 |
| litropy | lls network-manager to disconnect then reconnect, and then I start sending packets again. I'm trying to write a script to do this automatically. So, I need to know what command(s) network-manager is running when I do the "click the network again" dance. | 23:27 |
| litropy | Yes, I could rig up a better solution via wires, but I'm short of cash right now. | 23:28 |
| litropy | Furthermore, I understand this issue might be because "There is no any anti-flood protection enabled by default on ubuntu." (link at end), and I'm wondering if there are anti-flood solutions I can delve into. http://superuser.com/questions/320048/ubuntu-network-stop-working-after-heavy-load-of-packets-received | 23:30 |
