phunyguyHello, I am having an issue with smbclient on 12.10 - when attempting to mount, I get "CIFS VFS: Connecting to DFS root not implemented yet" in dmesg.00:29
phunyguydoes that mean anything?00:29
penguin42looks like other people with it00:30
penguin42I see references to it in a 3.4.2 kernel - apparently fixed last month in 3.4.5 - I wonder if it's not in the 3.5.x ?00:32
phunyguyyeah i saw the same thing on a fedora forum00:33
phunyguyhmm apparently there were some updates since this daily build00:49
phunyguythat could fix it, lol00:49
phunyguyyeah the updates didnt fix01:46

DracoDanLRPCmy background is in Red Hat, but I need to use ubuntu for a home project.  I seem to be stuck on kernel 3.5rc7 after having previously downloaded and manually installed the kernel, what's the best way to for it to download the latest standard kernel?03:04
DracoDanLRPCa simple upgrade isn't doing it03:04
trismDracoDanLRPC: what is: uname -a03:05
trismDracoDanLRPC: basically you just need to make sure the correct kernel meta package is installed, and if using apt-get you will need: apt-get dist-upgrade03:06
DracoDanLRPCLinux <you dont need to know my hostname :) > 3.5.0-030500rc7-generic #201207142035 SMP Sun Jul 15 00:35:57 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux03:07
DracoDanLRPCdoing a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade didnt help03:07
trismDracoDanLRPC: make sure linux-image-generic is installed, latest ubuntu kernel is 3.5.0-1103:10
DracoDanLRPCcan you be more specific?  I'm guessing rpm -qa | grep linux-image-generic isn't gonna work on ubuntu :-)03:11
trismDracoDanLRPC: dpkg -l 'linux-image*';03:12
DracoDanLRPCdamn, there are a lot of kernels installed...03:13
DracoDanLRPCdo I have to manually edit grub?03:13
trismDracoDanLRPC: no, but 3.5.0-030500rc7 might sort before the ubuntu kernels, so it might be on the other kernels entry in grub03:15
trismDracoDanLRPC: what is: apt-cache policy linux-image-3.5.0-11-generic; ?03:16
DracoDanLRPC500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages03:21
DracoDanLRPC100 /var/lib/dpkg/status03:21
trismDracoDanLRPC: the Installed: specifically03:21
DracoDanLRPCsorry, 3.5.0-11.1103:22
DracoDanLRPClinux-image-3.5.0-11-generic:03:22
DracoDanLRPC  Installed: 3.5.0-11.1103:22
DracoDanLRPC  Candidate: 3.5.0-11.1103:22
DracoDanLRPC  Version table:03:22
DracoDanLRPC *** 3.5.0-11.11 003:22
trismDracoDanLRPC: yeah that looks good, my guess is that the mainline kernel just sorts before it, so probably just need to select "Previous Linux Versions" or whatever it is called on grub03:23
trismDracoDanLRPC: after that you can remove the mainline kernel and you should get the most up to date ubuntu kernels as the first entry03:24
trismDracoDanLRPC: of course you could check /boot/grub/grub.cfg to verify03:25
DracoDanLRPCI'm used to grub.conf, why did it have to change?03:26
DracoDanLRPCcan I manually edit grub.cfg?03:27
DracoDanLRPC"# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE"03:27
trismDracoDanLRPC: not a good idea in general, it will be regenerated when a new kernel is installed03:28
DracoDanLRPCokay, so how do I fix it?  I can't go and select the correct kernel on every boot03:28
trismDracoDanLRPC: just do it once, then remove linux-image-3.5.0-030500rc7-generic and you should be good03:29
DracoDanLRPCremove how? from grub.cfg?03:29
DracoDanLRPCor remove the package?03:29
trismDracoDanLRPC: no, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.5.0-030500rc7-generic03:29
DracoDanLRPCgotcha, thanks :_)03:29
trismDracoDanLRPC: I'd say do it before you change kernels, but dpkg complains03:30
DracoDanLRPC:-)03:30
trismDracoDanLRPC: though you can force it03:30
DracoDanLRPCforce it to remove the package for the kernel it's running? lol03:35
DracoDanLRPCI've already booted into the correct kernel03:35
DracoDanLRPCwell, it's in the process03:35
trismDracoDanLRPC: all set?04:19
DracoDanLRPCtrism: kinda, I tried to remove the extra kernels but dpkg -l still shows them...04:43

WarOfTheNerdHow is Alpha 3 for stability?13:08
WarOfTheNerdI don't mind if I encounter something unusual, I survived glibc screwups in the past.... but wondering if it will be usable on install? ^.^13:08
smartboyhwWarOfTheNerd: Alpha 3 is more stable then Alphas 1 and 2 at least:)13:09
WarOfTheNerdsmartboyhw, anything I should know of that's major?13:14
smartboyhwWarOfTheNerd: What do you mean?13:14
smartboyhwMaybe the kernel13:14

silverarrowtrouble with browser embedded play13:16
silverarrownot sure how to report back to the testing team13:17
silverarrowhi howlymowly13:17
silverarrowI made a report on launchpad, but then I wondered if the testing team would read it13:18
silverarrowit was general Ubuntu, not 12.10 testing specific13:18

silverarrowlubuntu applications and packages are not listed?13:42
smartboyhwOh, it's been released.13:42
smartboyhwsilverarrow: It's for main packages, I think you'd better ask phillw in #lubuntu.13:43
PiciHuh. lubuntu and ubuntu share the same repositories.13:43
silverarrowthey do13:43
silverarrowbut find gnome-mplayer on the qa.ubuntu13:44
smartboyhwsilverarrow: Anyway it's impossible now.13:44
silverarrowlife usually is13:44
smartboyhwIt's been released, I think13:44
silverarrowwhich means bugs are not care about?13:44
smartboyhwsilverarrow: No, it's just stopped.13:45
smartboyhwI'll ask balloons about 15-30 minutes later about that13:45
silverarrowI will return later then13:46
PiciWhat do you mean by "it's stopped"?13:46
silverarrowppc users are so slack with reporting back13:46
smartboyhwWell, look at http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/13:46
PiciThats just for things that are getting specific focus by the QA team./13:48
smartboyhwHmm, then I don't know, I'll ask balloons or phillw or gema or jibel...13:49

Pici!latest19:58
ubottuPackages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.19:58
PiciIf you don't like it, don't use it. But theres no sense in complaining here like that.19:58
marcusDavidusi dont want to use it this is gf's laptop and she dont want gentoo or sabayon cuz its to hard for her19:59

AlanBellso install 12.04 which is actually released20:00
marcusDavidusto old kernel20:01
marcusDavidusi try xorg edgers ppa maybe that help20:03
penguin42what breaks with the old kernel?20:14
DebolazI just tried the unity testing ppa. It didn't go so well.... Well, it went better than the current 12.10, at least there were no flickering. But the launcher is invisible now. :)20:22
trismDebolaz: might try a: unity --reset; I've had the launcher do that once or twice to me20:23
DebolazI'll try that the next time I boot into it.20:24
Debolazllvmp performance is also pretty poor, though its due to some very specific effects so I suspect if those are disabled when llvmpipe is active, the experience should be fine.20:25
DebolazAlso, is llvmpipe force-enabled now even if 3D acceleration is available? (For the purpose of testing I presume)20:32
trismI'm not exactly sure how to force it to run, I don't think it is used if you have acceleration20:35
DebolazDisabling 3D acceleration from vmware side makes no performance difference at all.20:36
DebolazSo I'm assuming it's using llvmpipe.20:36
trismthere was some issue with vmware being discussed in -devel yesterday, so you may be stuck with llvmpipe there for now20:38
DebolazWell, that's not really a problem considering the only reason I'm using 12.10 at the moment is to test out llvmpipe. :-)20:38
trismyeah I'd like to figure out how to force it to use llvmpipe to give it a try20:39
