| penguin42 | bjsnider: bug 216537 for example | 00:13 |

| bjsnider | geomview? | 00:13 |
| penguin42 | ok, no I never used it before, but it's a package still in quantal and that's reproducable | 00:14 |
| phunyguy | wow.... doesn't make one very confident that just filed a bug... lol | 00:15 |
| penguin42 | phunyguy: Your chances are somewhat better on main packages | 00:16 |
| phunyguy | =P | 00:16 |
| penguin42 | ooh, one of my old ones fixed in quantal | 00:19 |
| bjsnider | that code hasn't been touched very much | 00:19 |
| bjsnider | the last time code was committed was march i guess | 00:19 |
| bjsnider | most of it seems to be laying around untouched for years | 00:20 |
| penguin42 | bjsnider: But then you take things like bug 484914 - more subtle | 00:20 |

| bjsnider | http://geomview.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/geomview/geomview/ | 00:20 |
| bjsnider | well, now there's nobody officially paid to work on kde bugs right? | 00:21 |
| bjsnider | and i'm sure there are a lot of kde bugs | 00:21 |
| penguin42 | bjsnider: the only thing that's changed is paid for people to fix kubuntu (not kde generally) | 00:23 |
| penguin42 | (as far as I understood) and that's an upstream bug | 00:23 |
| bjsnider | it's an upstream bug in kate that has been there for years and is reproducible in quantal? | 00:25 |
| penguin42 | yes | 00:25 |
| penguin42 | bjsnider: There's some great little bitesize ones as well; like bug 305831 - 1 char typo in a man page that was reported about 4 years ago, still in quantal; of course it's not important, still a valid bug though | 00:27 |

| bjsnider | well, that's an easy fix, you just create a patch and propose a merge using bzr | 00:28 |
| penguin42 | and send upstream, I was in a triaging mood, so marked it, and marked it as bitesize for someone | 00:29 |

| edgy | BluesKaj: I want to share a folder in my linux system using samba4, no windows is involved | 13:21 |
| BluesKaj | then you don't need samba , just use ssh/sftp in networking, edgy | 13:23 |
| * penguin42 wonders if being able to start a terminal in the remote desktop registration login is a bug - it's done as guest so it should only be as insecure as the rest of it | 13:23 | |

| AaronCampbell | I have an AMD ATI Radeon 6870 video card with 4 1920x1080 monitors attached. It was working well with the proprietary drivers in 12.04. I didn't upgrade to 12.10, I did a complete reinstall, and now it uses the open source driver but everything is REALLY laggy (dragging windows, switching desktops, etc, etc). | 15:41 |
| AaronCampbell | If anyone has any ideas what I could try, or suggestions on what additional info would help, let me know. | 15:44 |
| penguin42 | AaronCampbell: I believe the closed driver isn't yet available on 12.10; it normally manages by release date | 15:52 |
| AaronCampbell | penguin42: Do you think that will likely fix the lag? Or do you think it's some other setting? | 15:57 |
| AaronCampbell | I'd love to use the open source driver (which ever worked at all for be before), but obviously the lag makes it very hard to work | 15:57 |
| penguin42 | AaronCampbell: it's probably best to ask on #ubuntu-x or the radeon driver mailing list | 15:58 |
| penguin42 | AaronCampbell: I use an hd4350 on the open driver with a single monitor and it's happy with KDE | 15:59 |
| AaronCampbell | So many Ubuntu channels :) | 15:59 |
| penguin42 | AaronCampbell: It might be useful to check just which driver it's using | 15:59 |
| AaronCampbell | penguin42: How can I check that? | 15:59 |
| penguin42 | AaronCampbell: In system settings-Xdetails what does it say for 'Graphics' ? | 15:59 |
| edgy | penguin42: ping | 16:01 |
| penguin42 | ack ack | 16:02 |
| AaronCampbell | settings-Xdetails -> "command not found" and I don't see anythign like that in system settings | 16:02 |
| penguin42 | AaronCampbell: Oops | 16:02 |
| penguin42 | AaronCampbell: Sorry, bring up system settings and then go to details | 16:02 |
| penguin42 | my > tends to get mashed into X by synergy | 16:02 |

| penguin42 | hmm odd | 16:02 |
| edgy | penguin42: I'm back, i would file the samba bug now so you can confirm it, please | 16:03 |

| penguin42 | edgy: Sure, just say bug ..... where ..... is the number and I'll do it | 16:03 |
| AaronCampbell | penguin42: http://pastebin.com/i1RiJnHi | 16:05 |
| * penguin42 looks | 16:08 | |
| penguin42 | AaronCampbell: Well there are no errors in there, and it seems to be using the open source radeon driver, so it's doing the right thing - just slowly | 16:10 |
| * penguin42 really should treat himself to another monitor | 16:10 | |
| penguin42 | AaronCampbell: An interesting thing to try that might be interesting would be is it still laggy on one monitor ? | 16:11 |
| AaronCampbell | penguin42: I didn't notice the lag when the monitors were mirrored. I could go back to that and try | 16:12 |
| penguin42 | AaronCampbell: I suspect 4 monitors is an unusual (but very nice) config; so it might not have been tried much, but if you can nail it down to 'it works fine with 2 but breaks with more' type of bug then it would be worth filing the bug | 16:14 |
| AaronCampbell | penguin42: It works fine with 4 when they're mirrored | 16:15 |
| penguin42 | AaronCampbell: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati or ask on there if you're feeling enthusiastic, I'd hope the closed drivers land before full release | 16:16 |

| AaronCampbell | Under the little gear icon in the top right in 12.04 there was an option to set startup applications. Where is that in 12.10? | 16:29 |

| zenx | ahh, got it. ty | 22:03 |
| zenx | well it seems to be working now | 22:04 |
| FernandoMiguel | or dhclient | 22:05 |
| BluesKaj | zenx, I'm no longer familiar with what network manager does or doesn't do anymore ..I'be been using the /etc/network/interfaces file to do the connecting along with resolv.conf for long time now | 22:07 |
| BluesKaj | with static ip instead of dhcp | 22:07 |
| zenx | BluesKaj: Yes I know it is the best practice, atleast you know what goes on | 22:08 |
| zenx | one less target to blame :P | 22:11 |
| zenx | G'night | 22:11 |

| RicardoMArtins__ | hello. I finished the installation of Quantal to use with windows 7, but after reboot it still using the windows boot loader without linux option. neither windows is starting (getting blue screen). any tip? | 22:35 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | (should be dual boot) | 22:35 |
| jtaylor | did you get an error during bootloader installation? | 22:37 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | no | 22:37 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | in fact there was no bootloader installation. i just booted up with usb and installed beside windows 7 | 22:38 |
| jtaylor | you could try to install it again from a liveusb | 22:38 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | i know it is installed, because if i try to reinstall it asks if i want to reinstall | 22:38 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | i tried to reinstall too | 22:39 |
| jtaylor | there should be, the windows bootloader can't boot linux | 22:39 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | now im using the " try ubuntu" option. can i install other boot loader from here? | 22:39 |
| jtaylor | yes | 22:39 |
| jtaylor | run update-grub2 from a terminal | 22:39 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | it says /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of /cow. | 22:40 |
| jtaylor | probably it isn't installed at all | 22:41 |
| jtaylor | then you need to run grub-install /dev/sda | 22:41 |
| jtaylor | if sda is your primary disk | 22:41 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | almost: Path `/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting. | 22:43 |
| jtaylor | hm never seen that | 22:44 |
| jtaylor | you may have to use sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 22:45 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | yes, i did | 22:45 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | i will restore everything and try with 12.04... =/ | 22:47 |
| jtaylor | is /boot mounted? | 22:47 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | how can i check that? | 22:47 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | if i type cd /boot it exists | 22:47 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | and there is " grub" there | 22:48 |
| jtaylor | it may be the boot of the liveusb | 22:49 |
| jtaylor | hm, try umount /boot | 22:49 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | umount: /boot: not mounted | 22:50 |
| jtaylor | hm as you have a install you can probably chroot into it and run grub install from there | 22:52 |
| jtaylor | you can try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_the_LiveCD_terminal | 22:53 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | excuse me, how? | 22:53 |
| jtaylor | it also has a section on repairing via chroot | 22:54 |
| jtaylor | but .6 in that section should work too | 22:56 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | thanks jtaylor | 22:58 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | i guess it will help | 22:58 |
| RicardoMArtins__ | =] | 22:58 |
