[00:15] <ActionParsnip> bethebunny: did you md5 test the iso?
[00:16] <bethebunny> I'm having trouble booting the install CD. The framebuffer window (with keyboard == human) appears fine, then the ubuntu loading screen is fragmented as though it is attempting to render the image to a different resolution than my monitor
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> bethebunny: did you md5 test the iso?
[00:16] <bethebunny> I'll go do that, but I'm having the same problem with an old 10.04 build on the same machine.
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> bethebunny: why did you not test it before?
[00:17] <bethebunny> ActionParsnip: It might be good practice, but I'm generally not in the habit of md5 testing my downloads >.>
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> bethebunny: you should, the data needs to be perfect
[00:26] <bethebunny> ActionParsnip: Yes, the hash matches.
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> bethebunny: what video chip do you use?
[00:28] <bethebunny> nVidia GT550TI
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> bethebunny: tried the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[00:38] <bethebunny> ActionParsnip: It said something along the lines of "`1' is an invalid value for nouveau option `blacklist'", but then successfully booted without further graphical errors (well, it's not exactly full-featured, but I suspect the remaining problems are due to using a fallback graphics driver)
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> bethebunny: some chips don't like the nouveau driver.
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> bethebunny: you should know basic stuff like that if you want to use pre-release, its not ready for the lay-user
[00:40] <bethebunny> ActionParsnip: I'm sorry I tried dabbling in your deep and dark realm. I'll try growing out my neckbeard. Or maybe I should just switch back to gentoo.
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> did the boot option help?
[00:59] <vivid> bethebunny: nouveau is totally broken for me on that same GPU
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> in updated version its not shabby
[01:00] <vivid> i managed to install using the mini.iso and then manually installing nvidia-current and kubuntu-desktop via a base system
[01:00] <vivid> its still broken as of yesterday, when i cleaned up this system
[01:01] <vivid> so, dont be surprised when you get into a broken gui, be prepared to ctrl+alt+f1 and shut down lightdm
[01:01] <vivid> and quickly, the perpetual loop of lightdm restarts is a pain
[01:03] <vivid> bethebunny: and....i have a totally pimp neckbeard right now.  definitely helps getting through nouveau
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> vivid: have you tried kdm instead?
[01:30] <vivid> no need, default desktop installs lightdm and the aim is to get default working for the majority
[01:30] <vivid> and lightdm works wonderfully
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> vivid: from what you say, apparently not
[01:30] <vivid> the problem is nouveau
[01:30] <vivid> on GF114
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> i see
[01:37] <vivid> ActionParsnip: alternatively, we could argue that no vesa fallback is an issue as well
[05:16] <lapion> is it possible to install quantal to a btrfs-oonly system ?
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> sure
[05:19] <lapion> cannot get it to install grub
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> lapion: can you install it from liveCD?
[05:20] <lapion> yes
[05:20] <lapion> failt to install grub
[05:20] <lapion> *fails
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> isit a known bug?
[05:23] <lapion> do not know am trying to install it again, this time will try to manually install grub before exiting install environment
[05:30] <lapion> it gives me core.img unusually large error
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> http://forums.funtoo.org/viewtopic.php?id=828
[05:36] <lapion> I already found that one and was reading it.
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> ha
[05:37] <lapion> this only happens to systems whose hdd partition table is erased and recreated.
[05:37] <lapion> maybe the default chs should be something like n n 96 or something..
[05:44] <lapion> hmm no xz support in grub-mkimage
[06:23] <lapion> hmm installing synaptics in the live environment seems to make the system totally useless
[07:05] <lapion> has anyone tried to install synaptic in the live version ?
[07:05] <smartboyhw> lapion: You mean live CD?
[07:06] <lapion> yes
[07:58] <lapion> the grub error is a partition related problem solved by "creating" a new partition table, or recrating the mbr
[08:10] <lapion> hmm at least the not enough space error did nit repeat, but still no booting
[09:51] <vega-> seems most of new stuff on 12.10 will be "under the hood" type of things?
[11:00] <lapion> booting with a btrfs is not working it cannot find the files because when you mount the btrfs all files and folder of the fs reside in the folder "@" in stead of "."
[11:41] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:07] <pfarrell> hi, there seems to be a bug in the slepc package in quantal. Where should I report it?
[12:18] <smartboyhw> pfarell: Open a terminal and type ubuntu-bug slepc
[12:55] <lapion> ubuntu cannot handle btrfs
[12:57] <KM0201> i thought it was still pretty experimental
[13:42] <thoong> you guys suffer from nouveau booting problems from kernel 3.4 - 3.5? is it confined to kernel  or distro specific? currently running ubuntu 12.04 and fedora 17.  new kernel updates in f17 is giving me grief. was wondering will future ubuntu suffer same fate?
[15:12] <sandyd_away> bobweaver, http://i45.tinypic.com/14nub5.png

[15:15] <bobweaver> sandyd_away,  what happens when you go to font settings and play with them
[15:16] <sandyd_away> where?
[15:17] <bobweaver> not sure that is a great question
[15:18] <bobweaver> I thought that it was under gnome-control-panel but I can not seem to find
[15:18] <sandyd_away> nvm - fixed the problem
[15:18] <bobweaver> And font viewer is not seeeming to do anything but hang
[15:18] <sandyd_away> ccsm doing funky stuff

[15:19] <sandyd_away> yup
[15:19] <bobweaver> cool
[15:46] <em> hi
[17:14] <Bluefoxicy> Is 12.10 going to use 3.4 instead of 3.5.3 or 3.6?
[17:15] <trism> Bluefoxicy: depends on what you are talking about, for nautilus, yes, for kernels, I think we are sticking with 3.5
[17:17] <Bluefoxicy> kernel
[17:17] <Bluefoxicy> heh that was ambiguous.
[17:25] <trism> yeah too many similar version numbers this release
[19:44] <hd1> hmph
[19:44] <hd1> what happened to /usr/bin/X in quantal?
[19:46] <trism> hd1: -rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 10192 Aug 23 13:37 /usr/bin/X (seems to be there, what's the issue?)
[19:47] <hd1> what package is it to be found in?
[19:48] <trism> hd1: xserver-xorg
[19:49] <hd1> thanks trism, for some reason that package wasn't installed :p
[19:52] <cjohnston_> Is anyone else having a problem with ubuntu-panel-search using huge amounts of CPU? 99+%?
[19:56] <trism> cjohnston: maybe bug 1041354 (though a recent libreoffice update should fix that)
[19:59] <hd1> trism: ok, thanks
[19:59] <cjohnston> trism: that sounds about right
[19:59] <cjohnston> I'm updating right now, maybe ill get it
[20:00] <cjohnston> thanks trism
