| ActionParsnip | bethebunny: did you md5 test the iso? | 00:15 |
|---|---|---|
| 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? | 00:16 |
| 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 | 00:17 |
| bethebunny | ActionParsnip: Yes, the hash matches. | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | bethebunny: what video chip do you use? | 00:28 |
| bethebunny | nVidia GT550TI | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | bethebunny: tried the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 00:28 |
| 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) | 00:38 |
| 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 | 00:39 |
| 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. | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | did the boot option help? | 00:53 |
| vivid | bethebunny: nouveau is totally broken for me on that same GPU | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | in updated version its not shabby | 00:59 |
| 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 | 01:00 |
| 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 | 01:01 |
| vivid | bethebunny: and....i have a totally pimp neckbeard right now. definitely helps getting through nouveau | 01:03 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| ActionParsnip | vivid: have you tried kdm instead? | 01:29 |
| 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 | 01:30 |
| vivid | ActionParsnip: alternatively, we could argue that no vesa fallback is an issue as well | 01:37 |
| lapion | is it possible to install quantal to a btrfs-oonly system ? | 05:16 |
| ActionParsnip | sure | 05:18 |
| lapion | cannot get it to install grub | 05:19 |
| ActionParsnip | lapion: can you install it from liveCD? | 05:20 |
| lapion | yes | 05:20 |
| lapion | failt to install grub | 05:20 |
| lapion | *fails | 05:20 |
| ActionParsnip | isit a known bug? | 05:21 |
| lapion | do not know am trying to install it again, this time will try to manually install grub before exiting install environment | 05:23 |

| lapion | it gives me core.img unusually large error | 05:30 |
| ActionParsnip | http://forums.funtoo.org/viewtopic.php?id=828 | 05:32 |
| lapion | I already found that one and was reading it. | 05:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ha | 05:36 |
| 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.. | 05:37 |
| lapion | hmm no xz support in grub-mkimage | 05:44 |
| lapion | hmm installing synaptics in the live environment seems to make the system totally useless | 06:23 |
| lapion | has anyone tried to install synaptic in the live version ? | 07:05 |
| smartboyhw | lapion: You mean live CD? | 07:05 |
| lapion | yes | 07:06 |
| lapion | the grub error is a partition related problem solved by "creating" a new partition table, or recrating the mbr | 07:58 |
| lapion | hmm at least the not enough space error did nit repeat, but still no booting | 08:10 |

| 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 "." | 11:00 |
| BluesKaj | Hey all | 11:41 |
| pfarrell | hi, there seems to be a bug in the slepc package in quantal. Where should I report it? | 12:07 |
| smartboyhw | pfarell: Open a terminal and type ubuntu-bug slepc | 12:18 |
| lapion | ubuntu cannot handle btrfs | 12:55 |
| KM0201 | i thought it was still pretty experimental | 12:57 |
| 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? | 13:42 |

| Bluefoxicy | Is 12.10 going to use 3.4 instead of 3.5.3 or 3.6? | 17:14 |
| trism | Bluefoxicy: depends on what you are talking about, for nautilus, yes, for kernels, I think we are sticking with 3.5 | 17:15 |
| Bluefoxicy | kernel | 17:17 |
| Bluefoxicy | heh that was ambiguous. | 17:17 |
| trism | yeah too many similar version numbers this release | 17:25 |
