[00:27] <cowsquad> can anybody tell me, what archive manager should i use with quetzal. Im trying to copy files to my zip, but for some reason i cant
[00:30] <cowsquad> anybody in here?
[00:41] <h00k> My empathy is being silly and telling me I'm set to offline, even though all is okay and I am telling it to be online.
[00:42] <h00k> I'm updating a bunch of packages, maybe that'l fix it.
[03:04] <jetsaredim> need a little advice on hard drive replacement
[03:04] <jetsaredim> not quite sure of how to accomplish this
[03:04] <jetsaredim> i'm moving from a 1TB 7200rpm to 256GB SSD
[03:08] <bjsnider> jetsaredim, how much data?
[03:09] <jetsaredim> i only have a minimal install at the moment ~8G
[03:09] <jetsaredim> all the guides i can find for replacing hard drives are for increasing the size
[03:10] <jetsaredim> should i basically try to resize my filesystem down to something below 256G and then ddrescue it to the new drive and then expand to fill?
[03:10] <bjsnider> well, you can clean install and then move your home files over
[03:10] <jetsaredim> i don't really want to go through re-installing all the stuff i have on my system
[03:11] <jetsaredim> plus i have it setup the way i want it
[03:11] <jetsaredim> took me like a week to get it setup how i like it
[03:11] <jetsaredim> with tweaks and whatnot
[03:12] <bjsnider> most of the tweaks are probably in your home directory in hidden files
[03:23] <Tohuw> I just performed a do-release-upgrade, but unity or some higher order element crashed. I was performing the upgrade in a gnome-terminal session. I can see my windows, but there are no window controls and I can use the mouse, but keyboard input is not accepted. However, using another tty (ctrl-alt-6), I am able to type fine. The upgrade is currently awaiting my answer to a prompt (change /etc/default/grub). How can I safely resume this upgrade?
[03:23] <Tohuw> (this is what I deserve for not running the command in a tmux session!)
[03:47] <Tohuw> Is there an onscreen keyboard in Ubuntu? If so, what is the process name and where is the executable located? I need to regain keyboard control over an X session where I can only send mouse input.
[03:50] <jbicha> Tohuw: onboard
[03:51] <Tohuw> jbicha: Thank you. I ended up regaining actual keyboard input, so I can resume my upgrade. What an inopportune time...
[04:33] <Tohuw> Where did unity-greeter.conf go?
[04:40] <cwillu> !info qz2100
[04:40] <cwillu> !info wz2100
[04:40] <cwillu> !info warzone2100
[09:08] <DrHalan> i currently have the problem that the unity launcherdoesn't mark any window as open or focused even though many windows are open
[09:08] <DrHalan> any one else having such a problem?
[09:09] <gnomefreak> not me
[09:10]  * gnomefreak hasnt had but maybe 3 these break since repo opened
[09:10] <gnomefreak> but i expect alot more
[09:10] <DrHalan> ah riiight
[09:10] <DrHalan> i think some packages were held back yesterday
[09:10] <DrHalan> thanks!
[09:10] <gnomefreak> none held back here
[09:16] <DrHalan> compiz in particular
[09:16] <DrHalan> but now dist upgrade seems to work fine
[09:16] <DrHalan> hopefully when i do compiz --replace after the upgrade everything will work again
[09:21] <DrHalan> yay works again :)
[09:52] <graingert_ufo> anyone got any clues on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-messages/+bug/1053406 ?
[10:18] <xut> using 12.10 fully updated, when I boot up it goes to suspend mode
[10:18] <xut> i have to close the lid of laptop and then open it again and press power button to see login screen
[10:19] <xut> anyone any ideas?
[10:22] <ferni> xut: are you sure it goes to suspend? or is the screen just (almost) black
[10:51] <_jupiter_> where can I find the "Open with -> run command" functionality in Nautilus?
[10:54] <xut> ferni, well the screen goes black and i can hear the login noise, then i close the lid and it goes to suspend or sleep
[10:55] <xut> only way i can log in again is by opening lid, never had this issue before, i think it occured yesterday after an update
[11:15] <ferni> xut: yeah, have a similar problem.. starts with almost black screen (no backlight?) if i go trhough grub menu on boot it works fine.. weird
[11:25] <edgy> Hi, I added *.*   /dev/tty1 to /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf and restart rsyslog, now I tried logger test and nothing on tty1

[12:14] <nydel> i'm about to try to upgrade my 12.04 wubi .disk with the quantal beta tar.
[12:15] <nydel> is anyone around who has done this?
[13:47] <pietro10> Hi. I noticed with the latest Kubuntu 12.10 update that the system Sans Seriff ont has changed. I tried to edit ~/.fonts.conf to change it back to Ubuntu, but with no luck. How do I change it back? Thanks.
[13:48] <pietro10> actually wait derp, wrote the wrong font name
[13:48] <pietro10> brb
[13:50] <pietro10> ok tha tseemed to kinda fix it sorta
[13:50] <pietro10> though now the UI font is larger than it should be and konversation is smaller than it should be
[14:03] <dubac0> SwedeMike: ha du kaffe?
[14:09]  * genii-around makes a fresh pot of coffee
[14:21] <dubac0> genii-around: how the heck do i raise and lower windows without any buttons to do so in the new version of ubuntu 12.10?
[14:21] <genii-around> dubac0: I use KDE
[14:23] <dubac0> who is dev for the usual ubuntu gui?
[14:24] <dubac0> @ genii-around
[14:26] <genii-around> dubac0: I think it would be whoever is hanging out in #ubuntu-unity
[14:27] <dubac0> ahhh 9.9 Logic :)
[14:27] <dubac0> tack så mycket genii-around
[14:31] <genii-around> Med lite tur kan det vara i det upptäcker du att svar
[14:33] <dubac0> (*'.'*) Jag prata LITE svenska... men sverige är mitt hem
[14:34] <dubac0> genii-around @ du
[14:35] <genii-around> dubac0: I don't speak Swedish although I can understand some words of it. I used a translator in this case.
[14:38] <dubac0> genii-around: det okaj
[14:58] <Daekdroom> Now that unity --reset is deprecated, what should one do when he/she wants default options for Unity/compiz ?
[14:58] <Daekdroom> Huh, apparently there's a button for that under Behaviour tab in Appearance settings. Nevermind.
[15:00] <Captain_Proton> how do I get the notification icon back after the latest update
[15:03] <Captain_Proton> also the broader change to adwaita one even though it set to ambiance in ubuntu tweak and I can not change it back
[15:06] <dubac0> http://bayimg.com/MAcdoaAeM this problem with menus is not a unity issue - gnome and unity have the same issues
[15:15] <dubac0> will post on ubuntuforums about this.

[16:18] <m4rku5> is there any way I can install 12.10 beta if X won't come up (graphics driver is broken unitl 3.6-rc6)?
[16:20] <kroson> Hi. Does ubuntu install unneeded drivers packages during installation, or only the ones for the drivers detected? Thanks
[16:24] <genii-around> m4rku5: You could try using the boot option of vga
[16:27] <m4rku5> genii-around: I still end up with just a console, X.org won't come up and there is no alernate image for 12.10 :(
[16:34] <genii-around> m4rku5: nomodeset produces also the same result?
[16:35] <m4rku5> genii-around: as additional parameter or instead of vga?
[16:35] <genii-around> m4rku5: instead of
[16:36] <m4rku5> trying right now
[16:38] <m4rku5> nope I still end up on a console :( vesa driver fails with some errors
[16:41] <genii-around> What is the vendor:product code for the video card from the result of: lspci -nn
[16:43] <m4rku5> its an intel GMA 600 0886:4002 - the gma500_gfx has been fixed in 3.6-rc6
[16:44] <m4rku5> that why I wanted a text install and later manually install 3.6-rc6 kernel
[16:46] <genii-around> m4rku5: If it's a desktop you could conceivably put in some temporary card that does work
[16:47] <m4rku5> genii-around: nope it is a tablet
[16:48] <m4rku5> genii-around: however there is a alternate iso (not beta1 but some daily build) for 12.10 - that one should hopefully provide a text-based installer
[16:50] <genii-around> You could probably also use the server install with just ssh server selected
[17:12] <m4rku5> genii-around: damnit the alternate image requires network
[17:14] <m4rku5> can I install ubuntu 12.10 in a VM and then copy the on-disk content to the tablet?
[17:20] <genii-around> m4rku5: The tablet isn't connected somehow to the internet?
[17:20] <m4rku5> genii-around: well it has wlan
[17:21] <m4rku5> but that doesn't seem to work
[17:21] <m4rku5> alternate doesnt even come with iwconfig
[17:21] <m4rku5> guess I will install 12.04 on the tablet and install kernel 3.6-rc6 there
[17:22] <genii-around> Yes, thats annoying. Because you could just do something usually issue wpa_supplicant manually with a conf file and background it
[22:20] <valorin> Anyone experiencing boot issues after the latest updates? My laptop now throws me into a black screen shortly after GRUB and I need to do a force shutdown using the power button to kill it... Not fun...
