| phunyguy | I am having an issue with Empathy on 12.10, and Google Chat. When setting it up under Online Accounts, I can log into google, and authorize Ubuntu to access the account, but it won't connect via Empathy afterwards. I think it has to do with me having 2-factor authentication enabled in GMail, requiring each app to have its own password. I don't have the option to set an app-specific password for Empathy... Any thoughts? | 02:28 |
|---|---|---|
| phunyguy | This place is dead tonight.... lol | 03:01 |
| jbicha | phunyguy: I added Google just fine, used my email & regular password then prompted for the 2-factor code | 03:05 |
| phunyguy | jbicha, I never got a prompt. It just failed to connect. I went into the keyring app and changed the password there to an app specific password and it connected right up. | 03:06 |
| phunyguy | removed and re-added, from scratch., same thing | 03:09 |
| rdf | Greetings! | 03:13 |
| rdf | I upgraded 12.04 to 12.10... now grub2 is b0rked. I manually have to set the kernel and initrd by hand in order to boot. | 03:14 |
| rdf | I've gone and downloaded boot-repair 'cus I suck at grub, but don't know what else to do to ensure the config is correct. | 03:14 |
| rdf | typing the UUID is a PITA. | 03:15 |
| rdf | any suggestions? | 03:15 |
| jrib | RFleming: so what's the uuid you are entering when you boot? | 03:42 |
| RFleming | UUID of / | 03:43 |
| RFleming | same one listed in paste.ubuntu.com/1219789 | 03:44 |
| phunyguy | Not sure if I did something wrong or not... but with a recent batch of updates, did the indicator applet icon change? | 03:44 |
| RFleming | dunno... just put quantal on tonight :) | 03:44 |
| RFleming | I just can't boot unless I give grub2 specific information :) | 03:45 |
| jrib | RFleming: are you saying that grub presents you with a uuid other than 72263c58-9901-4a09-bfa9-af04abbec8e0 ? | 03:45 |
| RFleming | No... I'm saying that grub dumps me in a grub> prompt | 03:45 |
| RFleming | when I type in boot, it tells me I need a kernel first. | 03:46 |
| RFleming | when I enter in linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.5.... and initrd.... I get into a busybox shell | 03:46 |
| RFleming | I have to manually type in search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set [MY_UUID] | 03:47 |
| RFleming | linux /boot/vmlinuz.... root=UUID=[MY_UUID] | 03:47 |
| RFleming | initrd /boot/initrd.img.... | 03:47 |
| RFleming | boot | 03:47 |
| RFleming | ... and then I can boot into quantal. | 03:48 |
| jrib | RFleming: did it ever work? | 03:48 |
| RFleming | when dumped into grub2... root=hd0,msdos1 | 03:48 |
| RFleming | worked in 12.04 | 03:48 |
| jrib | RFleming: did it ever work in 12.10? | 03:48 |
| RFleming | nope | 03:49 |
| jrib | RFleming: when did you upgrade? | 03:49 |
| RFleming | finished the upgrade to 12.10 tonight and had to type in grub. | 03:49 |
| RFleming | I used the update-manager to upgrade. | 03:49 |
| RFleming | specifically 'update-manager -d' | 03:49 |
| jrib | RFleming: k. I don't know. Could be some open issue in quantal. I haven't been keeping up with it | 03:50 |
| RFleming | wilee-nilee, says UEFI remnants in the script | 03:51 |
| RFleming | <wilee-nilee> RFleming, I know but your bootscript dies show there are remnants, insmod efi_gop insmod efi_uga | 03:52 |
| RFleming | s/dies/does | 03:52 |
| wilee-nilee | RFleming, I saw the pings, I never really followed the fix if what I see is your problem, as I am saying it is a guess, but the symptoms and the notation make me think that is the problem. I believe there is a app to clean it, but I would want those that really know help. ;) | 03:57 |
| wilee-nilee | I skipped this part of grub fixing it was a rather rare occurrence on the UF and there are a handful of helper who are on there daily who know this stuff. | 03:59 |
| RFleming | ah well... | 04:00 |
| RFleming | I can google grub2 uefi and try and figure out how to kill it | 04:00 |
| RFleming | or just reinstall | 04:01 |
| RFleming | either way, it's late and my brain is fried | 04:01 |
| RFleming | not doing myself any favours now either way :) | 04:01 |
| phunyguy | Hmmm, yeah still having issues with Google Chat and Empathy... I am on the gmail website logged in, and I can see my online contacts, but only 2 or two show up in Empathy, and then disappear. | 04:22 |

| blazemore | Could you please paste the output from running rhe command "sudo lshw -C network" into http://paste.ubuntu.com and then put the resulting URL in this channel? | 09:27 |
| blazemore | Many wireless network devices can be turned on or off. Check to see if there is a hardware switch, some devices can be switched off from Windows and may need to be turned back on from Windows. | 09:28 |

| blazemore | And you're sure wifi is enabled in Network Manager? | 09:31 |
| Guest8231 | wireless connection is not showing at all | 09:32 |
| blazemore | Can you get a network connection on the computer using some other method? It'll make it much easier | 09:32 |

| blazemore | Under the desktop menu System > Administration > Hardware/Additional Drivers, the STA drivers can be activated for use. | 09:33 |
| Guest8231 | blazemore, there is nothing like that in 12.10 | 09:34 |

| rawburt | egregious! | 17:51 |
| IdleOne | rawburt: it appears to be true | 17:51 |
| bazhang | rawburt, remove a single package | 17:51 |
| rawburt | bazhang: I'd rather not add the package in the first place | 17:51 |
| bazhang | rawburt, complaining here wont do anything | 17:51 |
| rawburt | bazhang: how often does chatting in general do anything? | 17:52 |
| IdleOne | ha, good point | 17:52 |
| bazhang | still not the place for it rawburt | 17:53 |
| rawburt | bazhang: get over yourself | 17:53 |
| IdleOne | lets all relax | 17:53 |
| bazhang | rawburt, lets move on | 17:53 |
| IdleOne | no need to get into an argument over this, although I suspect we all agree that ads are gonna suck | 17:54 |
| jbicha | IdleOne: it's not exactly ads | 17:55 |
| IdleOne | jbicha: what is it then. I just heard about this 5 minutes ago literally | 17:55 |
| penguin42 | IdleOne: It's that the dock search searchs amazon | 17:55 |
| jbicha | any more than using Google search in Firefox is ads, these are just search results that Google or Amazon pays Canonical a commission as part of profit-sharing | 17:55 |
| IdleOne | oh. | 17:56 |
| IdleOne | well that isn't so bad I guess. | 17:56 |
| penguin42 | jbicha: I'm worried this is part of the standard desktop search, if I'm searching for a document on my local desktop doesn't this mean my search terms will be transmitted? | 17:56 |
| trism | I don't think it would be an issue if there was a separate shopping tab, I think it kind of bugs people because it is glued on the to the main search page | 17:56 |
| rawburt | Amazon will get our datas! | 17:56 |
| bazhang | ... | 17:57 |
| trism | but easy enough to remove | 17:57 |
| IdleOne | trism: how would one remove this new "feature" | 17:57 |
| trism | IdleOne: sudo apt-get purge unity-lens-shopping | 17:57 |
| jbicha | penguin42: I think if you switch to the Files lens, there aren't any Amazon results | 17:58 |
| IdleOne | Thank you. Will remember that for when the !factoid is going to be needed | 17:58 |
| penguin42 | jbicha: But the main one will? | 17:58 |
| penguin42 | on the plus side, this week llvmpipe has survived for more than 10 minutes in a kvm guest, still painfully slow | 18:00 |

| omac | Hi everybody. I upgraded to Quantal Quetzal last weekend. Downloading and installing packages took the better part of one night. After rebooting in recovery mode, I was able to get some kind of gui back up, but the gui is not using the AMD CATALYST drivers i had installed before. I had to resort to using gnome-panel/unity-2d as somebody suggested here last week. Thank you for that. Anybody have any suggestions for getting RADEON 7970 graph | 19:48 |
| omac | ics card back up. AWESOME job. hats off. | 19:48 |
| omac | is this the right place to talk about ubuntu arm stuff. I tried the linuxonandroid with a 12.04fullimage. shell runs, openssh runs, but unity seems to be too slow to boot up and display on the Advent Vega. The gui shows up about 10 -20 minutes later and the unity colors are off. Is there a better place to discuss this? | 19:55 |
| penguin42 | omac: There is a #ubuntu-arm | 19:56 |

| jbicha | I don't know, maybe file a bug against ubuntu-drivers-common? | 20:15 |
| yofel | does the ati driver in quantal actually support that card? | 20:19 |
| omac | thx DrHalan | 20:22 |
| AaronCampbell | yofel: maybe, it seems to work mostly, but it has my monitors in the wrong order and I can't seem to drag them into the right order. I have to restart real quick, but I'll keep looking into it | 20:23 |
| omac | bug: when I minimize the terminal, it doesn't come back in quantal queztal. | 20:24 |
| omac | I have to keep it open or else I lose it for good. The odd part is that it shows it being alive in the left tray bar. | 20:25 |
| omac | AaronCampbell: I think you're in the same boat as me. I have a 7970 card. | 20:26 |
| AaronCampbell | Ok, I got all my monitors working and in the right place, but ever since switching from 4 mirrored displays to 4 separate desktops, everything is super laggy. Could this be the new driver? Should I try the proprietary one? | 21:06 |
| AaronCampbell | I'm on an AMD ATI Radeon 6870 | 21:08 |
