raymond_and glxgears too. :)10:19
zekoZekohow?10:22
Streamstormerraymond_: great :)10:23
raymond_zekoZeko, a symlink.  The dri module I needed was in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri, but libgl didn't know to look there.  So I had to symlink the libraries in that folder to /usr/lib/dri10:25

daviIs Ubuntu quantal KDE desktop already usable, that is to say, stable?12:34
davi  I ask because I am thinking about using that distribution as desktop, because it includes some tools which are not on Precise12:35
daviElse I will go with Precise I use backports, manual compilation and so on12:35
BluesKajdavi, is this for home use or work ?12:37
daviI am going to give it a try. I have looked at the quantal tagged bugs at launchpad.net12:37
daviBluefoxicy, work12:37
davifrom home12:37
BluesKajdavi, alpha and beta releases aren't recommended for work situations12:38
daviI on Debian squeeze since 6 years ago. Previously I was on Debian sid12:38
daviI know12:38
daviI was thinking about get a freeze with stable KDE state12:39
daviWell, I will go with Ubuntu precise and backport compile if needed some new tool12:39
davithanks12:39
BluesKajwell ,12.04 is a good choice since i's also a LTS release12:40
daviyes12:40
BluesKaj12.10 will be released officially in about 5-6 weeks12:41

davicool, cool12:42
davi12.10 = quantal?12:43
davioops, I see12:43
BluesKajOctober 18th12:43
daviSo, I think it is more or less stable12:43
daviIs there a ISO or similar to download and install?12:43
daviLet me look myself12:44
BluesKajhttp://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/12:44
BluesKajdavi,^12:44
davithanks. I was getting only the Precise one12:45
tsimpsondavi: if you just want the latest KDE (4.9.1), just grab it from ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports12:46
davitsimpson, Which one is included in the current Quantal?12:47
tsimpsonthe same version, but it saves you having to upgrade the entire OS just to use a newer KDE version12:48
daviack12:48
BluesKajtsimpson, good suggestion ! :)12:55
daviI am going to use the server ISO, because my CD is 700MB max.13:16
BluesKajdavi, which releas are you on ?13:19

aljosaanybody knows when amd/ati drivers will be available? all i'm getting is that xorg-video-abi-11 is required for fglrx but not available14:52
BluesKajaljosa, the fglrx driver is available in the repos14:59
aljosaBluesKaj: yes it is but it's not installable (for me) and i just did update/dist-upgrade. i thought that new fglrx release is required, fglrx is working for other users?15:04
BluesKajaljosa, i assume so , but don't know for sure15:05
trijntjeHi all, after upgrading to Quantal I can no longer boot into windows. The partition is still present, but it does not show up in grub15:09
trijntjeI've already ran update-grub, but that didn't help15:09
BluesKajtrijntje, sudo os-prober ' then run 'sudo update-grub , again15:12
trijntjeBluesKaj: thanks, that seems to have done the trick. Phew, that gave me a bit of a scare :P15:13

PvandeWyngaerdehi, is it normal that i get a grub  in the last step when trying to install kubuntu 12.10 beta to an ssd ?18:41
penguin42PvandeWyngaerde: What do you mean 'get a grub'?18:42
PvandeWyngaerdei forgot error18:42
PvandeWyngaerdea grub error18:42
penguin42hmm, so no you shouldn't get an error (what ever it was)18:42
penguin42did it actually boot or just stop at an error prompt ?18:42
PvandeWyngaerdeit doesn't boot afterwards18:44
PvandeWyngaerdewhere can i find logfiles of the installation ?18:44
penguin42ok, that shouldn't happen - the logs should be in /var/log/installer18:45
penguin42PvandeWyngaerde: Other than having an SSD is there anything else about your machine?18:45
PvandeWyngaerdeits a dual socket opteron 248, brand new ssd18:46
PvandeWyngaerdewhen booting again in live cd modus i see the partition and files18:46
PvandeWyngaerdeoh, and i used the toram option18:47
prodnixhi all, can anyone enlighten me on the situation with fglrx on 12.10?18:47
penguin42PvandeWyngaerde: 'toram' option?18:48
DrHalanprodnix: doesnt work with current XServer yet18:48
DrHalanhopefully it will work soon before the release18:48
PvandeWyngaerdetoram kernel option during boot,   first place my dvd installation medium completely in my 4 GiB ram,   then in runs faster18:49
prodnixwho's side is the fault on, amd or canon?18:49
penguin42PvandeWyngaerde: Oh haven't seen that one - hmm where there any options during the boot?18:49
penguin42prodnix: With a closed source driver you have to wait for the closed source provider to update18:50
PvandeWyngaerdepenguin42: well, its a well hidden option, not documented during boot, you have to know it18:50
PvandeWyngaerdemaybe its a papercut issue ?   but its for powerusers ?18:50
penguin42PvandeWyngaerde: Were there any errors during the install?18:50
prodnixok, im not very confident with AMDs efforts so i wont hold my breath18:50
penguin42prodnix: They normally manage it by release18:51
prodnixwhats release for quantal?18:52
penguin42PvandeWyngaerde: Well is the grub problem you're getting related to that option or is it just a different screw up?18:52
prodnixwhens*18:52
penguin42prodnix: October 18th apparently18:52
PvandeWyngaerdepenguin42: i'm checking, please hold18:52
prodnixthank you18:52
PvandeWyngaerdei can see files on the current ssd partition,    but /var/log/installer does not exist,  or was not copied to this partition, i might have to perform a new installation18:58
penguin42PvandeWyngaerde: What was the state of the machine before you installed - was it an empty ssd? Is that the only disk?18:59
PvandeWyngaerdeyes, empty ssd (during first try, not during second),   only disk19:00
penguin42hmm19:01
PvandeWyngaerdei choose my own disk layout,  single partition full ssd /  ext419:01
penguin42how big is the disk?19:01
PvandeWyngaerdein that screen i can choose the device for boot loader19:02
PvandeWyngaerde60 G  Model Number:       INTEL SSDSC2CT060A319:03
penguin42PvandeWyngaerde: Hmm that should work, please report a bug on it; I'd try with a separate /boot partition19:04
PvandeWyngaerdeboot loader i can choose /dev/sda and /dev/sda119:04
penguin42I'd go for sda19:05
banishedHi, I want to do a bisect according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection but I don't know where to get the debnian/ folder19:05
bjsniderapt-ge source linux-image19:07
PvandeWyngaerdehmm, now i dont get that error,   must have been because i tried another workaround by putting grub on the disk first,   i saw the system now running update-grub19:11
PvandeWyngaerdenothing about grub in installer log...19:14
PvandeWyngaerdeok, it worked now19:17
PvandeWyngaerdeman, that ssd is fast19:17
PvandeWyngaerdei guess the cause was that grub was not on the system19:18
wilee-nileePvandeWyngaerde, did you check how the ssd was being read, ie sda sdb and were you using a usb for install, sometimes these get switched.19:19
PvandeWyngaerdeonly keyboard an mouse usb connected19:20
PvandeWyngaerdesda for sure19:20
penguin42PvandeWyngaerde: I wonder if it installed the grub on the ram disk it had created for it to be from ram?19:20
PvandeWyngaerdei used toram again this time, and no conflicts now19:21
penguin42hmm ho well19:21
