[03:29] <johnjohn101> is 12.10 ready to roll again in vmware and virtualbox?
[08:28] <Walther> Hm, is there a documented power regression in 12.10?
[08:28] <Walther> I can barely take 2h out of my laptop's battery
[08:29] <Walther> I used to have >4.5h
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> Walther: do you use hybrid GPUs?
[08:32] <Walther> ActionParsnip: lspci | grep NVIDIA shows for example this
[08:32] <Walther> 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation ION LE VGA (rev b1)
[08:33] <Walther> lscpu - Floating point exception (core dumped)
[08:33] <Walther> also, currently without nvidia-current as it has unmet dependencies
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> Walther: what about just:  lspci | grep -i vga
[08:35] <Walther> nvidia's the only one
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> ok that's good
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> all I can suggest is report a bug
[08:36] <Walther> hm
[08:36] <Walther> it might be related to not having the correct driver though
[08:36] <Walther> so perhaps I just need to wait until the driver arrives
[08:36] <Walther> as afaik the unity 3d uses some new wrapper to handle the drawing on "old hardware"
[08:37] <Walther> it might be that it is heavy on the CPU (at least my loads are pretty high occasionally and the UX is laggy)
[08:39] <Walther> welp, I'll keep updating and upgrading and dist-upgrading :)
[08:42] <Walther> Also, do you happen to know what is wrong with the lscpu
[08:43] <Walther> it just throws a core dump
[08:59] <Walther> (also, system monitor uses an awful lot of CPU)
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> Walther: have you tried the xorg edgers update ppa (less fresh, more stable)
[09:08] <Walther> No, I tend to stick with the official repos as much as possible
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> Walther: it may get the driver installed ok
[09:09] <Walther> hmm
[09:10] <Walther> well, someone here mentioned that the nvidia-current should become installable "shortly"
[09:10] <Walther> (I mean, feature freeze already happened, right?)
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> could hang fire then
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> see what happens
[11:35] <arunkumar413> hi, i just installed the latest development version of ubuntu. Let me know how to test and report bugs.
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> use the OS and report bugs when you see the OS misbehaving
[11:36] <smartboyhw> arunkumar413: Use ubuntu-bug
[11:36] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:36] <smartboyhw> o/ BluesKaj
[11:37] <BluesKaj> hey smartboyhw
[11:39] <johnjohn101> glad to see 12.10 making so much progress.  going to be yet another outstanding release.
[11:40] <smartboyhw> johnjohn101: :)
[11:53] <BluesKaj> lightdm still pixelating the login page here , totally unreadable on (KDE) , gotta TTY and startx to get the desktop
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> BluesKaj: tried GDM instead, se if its the same?
[11:56] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip, gdm , kdm all the dms are the same
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> BluesKaj: ok :(
[18:55] <lamalex> chrisccoulson, we replied to that bug about the FF patch for getting a native handle
