| raymond_ | I couldn't really find an answer.. is there is anyway I can downgrade my X server in quantal? | 02:01 |
| raymond_ | (by searching the web) I just want to downgrade the X server (preferably without building from source) so that the legacy fglrx drivers will work with it. | 02:02 |
| rainchick | Hi everyone. I can't get Font Viewer to work long enough for me to install a few TrueType fonts without crashing. Where are fonts stored in the filesystem? I'd much rather do this from a terminal. | 04:45 |

| zekoZeko | hey everyone | 09:20 |
| zekoZeko | grub trouble | 09:20 |
| zekoZeko | i get to the grub rescue prompt and try to load the normal.mod, but it fails | 09:20 |
| zekoZeko | although it's there | 09:20 |
| zekoZeko | grub rescue> set | 09:20 |
| zekoZeko | prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub/ | 09:20 |
| zekoZeko | root=(hd0,msdos1) | 09:20 |
| zekoZeko | when i ls $prefix/i386-pc/ i see the normal.mod | 09:22 |
| zekoZeko | anyone alive? I'd really like to know if there's any way to boot from grub rescue other than with a rescue cd ot netboot | 09:48 |
| zekoZeko | as i can't do either. | 09:48 |

| ActionParsnip | hi guys, my close/min/max are on the right. Ubuntu tweak doesn't seem to make it switch, can anyone advise how to switch it back. Thanks | 11:05 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy all | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | yo | 11:18 |
| penguin42 | Mornin' | 11:18 |
| BluesKaj | hey ActionParsnip, penguin42 | 11:19 |
| Guest20426 | http://wklej.org/hash/316d3ac1011/txt/ - what's wrong? | 11:29 |
| penguin42 | Guest20426: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Beta1 | 11:30 |
| penguin42 | Guest20426: See the note near the top of that; 12.04 sets update to only upgrade to next LTS by default | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest20426: you'll need to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal | 11:33 |
| Guest20426 | thaks | 11:33 |
| Guest20426 | *thanks | 11:33 |
| BluesKaj | just had an upgrade to kubuntu-desktop , that's a bit unusual | 12:06 |
| penguin42 | ? | 12:08 |
| BluesKaj | usually there are associated packages | 12:11 |
| === Guest21308 is now known as jbicha | ||
| penguin42 | BluesKaj: Changelog shows it was a 'Refreshed dependencies' | 12:52 |
| user82 | !info wine | 12:53 |
| ubottu | wine (source: wine1.4): Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (meta-package). In component universe, is extra. Version 1.4.1-0ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 0 kB, installed size 21 kB | 12:53 |
| user82 | they really stick with wine 1.4 stable until 1.6? | 12:53 |
| penguin42 | I think there might be ppa's of latest-wine | 12:57 |
| penguin42 | user82: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa there is a few day old wine1.5 package in there | 13:01 |
| BluesKaj | penguin42, how does one configure the fonts in wine ...they're unreadable on my monitor unless I'm right up close | 13:04 |
| penguin42 | BluesKaj: I don't actually use wine, don't know | 13:04 |
| BluesKaj | penguin42, ok ... I was curious about it again , hadn't used it in many yrs , but it was unreadable | 13:06 |
| gnomefreak | am i the only one that doesnt have screensavers? does KDE screensavers work? | 13:24 |
| user82 | penguin42 true...but wine develops really fast i dont like the choice of sticking with 1.4 | 13:48 |
| gnomefreak | wish there weas a site that told you what win apps work in winethan maybe i might use it | 13:51 |
| user82 | gnomefreak http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 13:52 |
| user82 | don't you know that site | 13:52 |
| gnomefreak | no i didnt :( | 13:53 |
| * gnomefreak goes and looks | 13:53 | |
| gnomefreak | you cant use warcraft on ubuntu? | 13:54 |
| gnomefreak | mostly games | 13:56 |
| penguin42 | user82: It's hard to keep up with wine though, if you don't pick the release version which one do you decide to put into a release | 14:47 |
| user82 | yes sure...but wine is not "ready" in a way so you could just go the firefox way and update to every version | 14:48 |
| user82 | with most packages i understand they want a stable version...but the wine experience with a so called "stable" 1.4 is not any better than with the newest beta | 14:49 |
| penguin42 | user82: not quite, firefox still has intermediates, the Firefox 15 is still there release; now why Ubuntu doesn't have Wine 1.4.1 is a valid question | 14:49 |
| user82 | it has i think | 14:49 |
| user82 | !info wine | 14:49 |
| ubottu | wine (source: wine1.4): Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (meta-package). In component universe, is extra. Version 1.4.1-0ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 0 kB, installed size 21 kB | 14:50 |
| penguin42 | ah ok, so it is 1.4.1 - so that's what I'd expect | 14:50 |
| Wizard | Yeah, and Europa Universalis stopped working around 1.3 :/ | 14:53 |

| hd1 | i just apt-get dist-upgraded my quantal system, now it's stuck at the "grub restore>" prompt, any ideas? | 16:08 |
| hd1 | am i hosed and need to reinstall from scratch? | 16:09 |
| hd1 | or is there a way around this? | 16:09 |
| BluesKaj | hd1, yes , use the livecd to reinstall grub | 16:09 |
| * hd1 doesn't have a liveCD | 16:11 | |
| hd1 | though i suppose i could make one | 16:11 |
| hd1 | the computer is a netbook, therefore no CDROM drive | 16:11 |
| BluesKaj | hd1, it should work from the media/OS installer you used | 16:15 |
| BluesKaj | usb stick ? | 16:15 |
| hd1 | i installed the system years ago | 16:15 |
| BluesKaj | hd1, do you have separate/ and /home partitions ? | 16:21 |
| hd1 | nope | 16:24 |
| penguin42 | hmm - so on +1 how would I disable the guest login? | 16:37 |
| BluesKaj | hd1, whatever media that works on your netbook you can use to rescue it , a usb stick with the OS installer will work | 16:37 |
| hd1 | BluesKaj: ok | 16:39 |
| penguin42 | well, unity is more stable than last week in a kvm guest - but it's now moving from warm jelly to cold jelly stability | 16:40 |
| BluesKaj | then when the installer page comes up choose "Try Ubuntu", hd1 , do sudo fdisk -l , then sudo grub-install /dev/sdx , xbeing the name of the OS partition listed in fdisk , hd1 | 16:44 |
| hd1 | ok, cool, BluesKaj | 16:54 |
| zekoZeko | hello everyone. I'm having some grub trouble :) anyone willing to help? | 17:04 |
| zekoZeko | basically, i can only boot to grub rescue mode | 17:04 |
| zekoZeko | from which i can see the root/boot partition, but trying to load normal.mod fails | 17:05 |
| zekoZeko | with no such file or some such error. | 17:05 |
| jbicha | penguin42: try http://askubuntu.com/questions/62564/how-do-i-disable-the-guest-session | 17:05 |
| zekoZeko | ls works and i can see all the grub modules in $prefix/i386-pc | 17:05 |
| wilee-nilee | zekoZeko, this the only install or there other OS's | 17:05 |
| zekoZeko | only install | 17:06 |
| zekoZeko | happened yesterday when i updated to grub 2.0 | 17:06 |
| zekoZeko | and the first partition starts at sector 2048, not 63 | 17:06 |
| wilee-nilee | zekoZeko, from grub-legacy | 17:06 |
| zekoZeko | no | 17:06 |
| wilee-nilee | just a grub update? | 17:06 |
| zekoZeko | updated to Q a few days ago and it worked well | 17:06 |
| zekoZeko | yes | 17:06 |
| zekoZeko | i was updating daily for a few days and it all went tits-up yesterday. | 17:07 |
| wilee-nilee | zekoZeko, here are some reinstalls defaults to a live cd reload of the mbr the next is a chroot. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Reinstall_from_the_LiveCD | 17:08 |
| zekoZeko | yeah, i could do that | 17:08 |
| zekoZeko | there's just a few little problems | 17:08 |
| zekoZeko | i don't have a cd burner and an empty CD/DVD | 17:08 |
| zekoZeko | and I can't boot from network, because i only have an USB keyboard and it doesn't work in BIOS, so I can't set the machine to boot from network | 17:09 |
| wilee-nilee | zekoZeko, You have a usb thumb that is loadable? | 17:09 |
| zekoZeko | not handy, but I can get it, that's what I was thinking about | 17:09 |
| zekoZeko | the strange thing is | 17:09 |
| zekoZeko | I can load another grub modul | 17:10 |
| zekoZeko | module | 17:10 |
| zekoZeko | what's it's name, just a sec | 17:10 |
| zekoZeko | minicmd | 17:11 |
| zekoZeko | with insmod (hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub/i386-pc/minicmd.mod | 17:12 |
| zekoZeko | but not with | 17:12 |
| zekoZeko | insmod minicmd | 17:12 |
| zekoZeko | set shows | 17:12 |
| zekoZeko | prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub | 17:12 |
| zekoZeko | root=hd0,msdos1 | 17:12 |
| wilee-nilee | I'm not familiar with that, I have the manual boot saved somewhere, but a live cd on a cd or a thumb is about your best tool you should always have. | 17:14 |
| zekoZeko | OK, that's what I'll do then, thanks. | 17:15 |
| zekoZeko | I usually carry a grub rescue thumb drive with me, but it seems I threw it out of the backpack when I was at home :) | 17:15 |
| wilee-nilee | supergrub is another for booting in and fixing grub, I have a multiload usb with both of those and a handful of other tools. | 17:16 |
| zekoZeko | don't know what happened though, I read here about problems for people that have the first partition starting at sector 63, but I cheched and on this machine it starts at 2048 | 17:17 |
| wilee-nilee | I doubt that is a problem honestly | 17:17 |
| zekoZeko | there is another thing though | 17:18 |
| zekoZeko | this drive is on a promise soft-raid IDE controller | 17:19 |
| zekoZeko | and root id /dev/mappd/pdbsomething1 | 17:19 |
| zekoZeko | err | 17:19 |
| zekoZeko | /dev/mapper/pdbsometing1 | 17:19 |
| zekoZeko | I think I've heard that new grub has some trouble with device mapper root partitions | 17:20 |
| wilee-nilee | I know nothing on raid and grub, always mention anything unusual. | 17:21 |
| penguin42 | jbicha: Wow - there's no gui to turn it off; that's pretty amazing for something that a lot of people would want to do for security | 17:36 |
| tsimpson | penguin42: the guest login is "jail-boxed", so it's not really much of a security issue | 17:37 |
| penguin42 | tsimpson: Experience tells me that every jail box that people have done like that is pretty much useless | 17:37 |
| penguin42 | tsimpson: It's an absolute no-no if you've got anything confidential on the box, especially if you're using full disk rather than home encryption | 17:38 |
