[00:00] anyone else having trouble starting thunderbird on 12.10? [00:05] no, works fine [00:05] pmatulis: did you install it properly ? [00:06] ;- ) [00:06] silverarrow: ? [00:07] kidding [00:07] did you try launch it in terminal? [00:07] It works fine here [00:07] I am in lubuntu, which should be the same [00:08] I get this message when launching in terminal [00:08] silverarrow: hm, i use lubuntu too. prolly an add-on issue then [00:08] WARNING **: Invalid borders specified for theme pixmap: [00:08] /usr/share/themes/Lubuntu-default/gtk-2.0/images/scrollbar_vertical.png, [00:08] borders don't fit within the image [00:08] thought, there are no problems [00:09] the frames are shrollable [00:09] silverarrow, Your familiar with pastebin I assume. [00:09] yeah, it is only one line though [00:09] silverarrow: interesting, i get some of that output too. but a liitle more [00:10] the paste police is active [00:10] silverarrow, Came as 4 here please use the pastebin. ;) [00:10] 4? [00:10] ok [00:10] silverarrow: you're fine with a couple of lines [00:10] i see 2 lines [00:10] wilee-nilee: what kind of screen do you have+ [00:10] a phone? [00:11] but I will use pastebin, promise [00:11] silverarrow: '-safe-mode' works, so it's prolly an add-on issue [00:12] yeah, maybe a package missing [00:12] or do you sync it with firefox? [00:12] silverarrow: i think this line is key: [00:12] (thunderbird:16164): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.Evolution.DefaultSources' is not installed [00:13] i submitted bug #1061958 [00:13] Launchpad bug 1061958 in thunderbird (Ubuntu) "[Quantal] thunderbird does not start on Lubuntu" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1061958 [00:14] pmatulis: I should set up sylpheed to work really, but thunderbird is idoiot proof [00:15] I alwas have problem with pop and smp what not [00:16] silverarrow: do you have the 'enigmail' package installed? [00:17] let me check [00:18] no [00:18] silverarrow: can you install it and restart tbird as a test? i found another report of the same issue and where terminal output mentions enigmail (like mine does) [00:18] will it wreak tbird totally? [00:19] I am on powerpc iso [00:19] do you think it should matter? [00:19] nah, you can remove it right after [00:20] (but don't you ever need to encrypt stuff?) [00:20] well, I don`t? [00:21] ...installing [00:22] do I need to? [00:22] I don`t notice anything [00:22] need to what? [00:22] encrypt [00:23] no, but a lot of people do [00:23] I have to google enigmail [00:23] so your mail does not go round the world in cleartext [00:24] (any person managing an intervening mail server can scoop up your mail and read it) [00:24] luckily I haven`t that interesting email [00:24] anyway, did you restart tbird after installing enigmail? [00:25] I shall have to get try enigmail out [00:25] yeah works fine [00:25] hm, ok then [00:25] like regular [00:25] what hardware do you have? [00:26] I am on an old iBook G4 that I still like [00:26] but keep enigmail installed, it's very useful. need to get a gpg keypair of course. enigmail just integrates gpg with tbird [00:26] I have not tired quantal on my newer hp yet [00:26] thanks for the tip [00:26] i just built a new machine. 16 GB of memory and an SSD [00:26] cool [00:26] and you prefer lxde ? [00:27] it takes but a second to start up tbird [00:27] same for firefox [00:27] loads of people seem to hesitate using unity [00:27] well, not a second on this computer [00:27] like 10 seconds [00:27] ugh [00:27] lol [00:28] yes, i prefer lightweight. i despise bloat [00:28] well, it is nice to write on, very silent [00:28] i usually don't even install the Recommends packages [00:28] Unity run smoother now though, than when it was launched [00:29] when I first tried Lubuntu, I really liked the gnome mplayer gecko setup [00:29] it wroked with everything I wanted it to in terminal [00:29] not so much on this ppc though [00:29] too many broken packages for powerpc [00:30] which might improve with quantal [00:30] i just use vlc to play music [00:30] and watch videos [00:30] gnome mplayer and vlc is a toss really [00:30] i have both usually [00:31] I have had downloads not work on mplayer, but on vlc, and vise versa [00:32] i noticed that empathy is borked on lubuntu 12.10 [00:32] when installed it gives nonsensical setting icons to configure it. maybe i'm missing something [00:32] so a fix is needed [00:32] did you file a bug report [00:33] not yet [00:33] I could not use xfburn at all in 12.04, but in 12.10 it seems to be fine, the same with pidgin [00:34] bugreports are important [00:35] I think empathy will be fixed [00:35] being a gnome basic [00:35] yeah, i presumed the issue was known [00:35] I plan to set up sylpheed [00:36] i'm quite certain that it can also integrate with GPG [00:36] as soon as I get some guidance, I mess up the config [00:37] I have serious issues with quantal ppc [00:37] no sound, no alsamixer [00:38] no real radeon driver working with graphics card [00:38] but we are a few working on it [00:38] I am totally amateur, [00:38] learning a lot though [00:41] pmatulis: do you think Tbird issues are 64bit specific ? === Cythraul is now known as WelshDragon [00:43] silverarrow: my issue? [00:45] silverarrow: strange data point: i just disabled all extensions and plugins while in safe mode and restarted normally. worked fine. then i enabled each one at a time, restating after each. went through all of them. still works fine. now i'm back with all enabled and it works [00:46] nah, just noticed someting... [00:51] yeah, I was thinking about the tbird trouble [00:52] ah. i have methodically isolated the problem to the following plugin: 'EDS Contact Integration'. thing is, it's a default plugin. can you confirm you have it? [00:53] silverarrow: ⤴ [00:53] oh yes [00:53] and it's enabled? [00:54] yes it lists as active under extentions [00:57] i have to reboot, brb [01:16] any bug reports for amazon/ubuntu one launchers reappearing on every new login?

[02:10] ???? [02:10] Colton_, so you did not do the 3 steps I suggested [02:10] yes i did [02:11] md5 the iso. burn very SLOW, do the disk defect check on the ubuntu menu. you said no to all three [02:11] do you have a voice chat program [02:14] bazhang [02:15] Colton_, [02:17] yes [02:18] yes bazhang [02:18] Colton_, so do the three things I suggested [02:22] ok well im a try to install it again now [02:24] Trying to install it again is not quite the same as checking whether the CD is good or not. [02:27] yep [02:27] a corrupt iso is what I suspect [02:47] Daekdroom, which version of brasero do you have installed? [02:48] 3.4.1-0ubuntu2 (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_quantal_main_binary-amd64_Packages) [02:49] Daekdroom, from the cli, attempt to install gnome-sushi, but do not follow through, just to see what else it will pull in [02:51] Daekdroom, there's a bunch of gstreamer1.0 stuff right? [02:52] bjsnider, right [02:52] that's essentially why i have both versions at the same time [02:52] that and the newer stuff in the ppa depends on it too [03:45] How is everyone doing?

Download the Ubuntu 12.10 beta 2 or just fresh install with beta 1 and just upgrade. I have the beta 1 but not the beta 2. My internet is not that fast. just got a max of 60+KB/s [12:35] nicko_: Either way, you're going to download an amount of download. [12:35] nicko_: Or you could try using rsync to sync the image differences. [12:37] jpds: thanks for the suggestion. Ill try [12:58] Should I expect much churn between beta2 and release? [13:10] Sagi, there are quite few updates/upgrades in the repos atm , altho a daily build will probly give you the latest [13:32] * Sagi takes the leap [14:19] is anyone familiar with the sound trouble shooting page? [14:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure [14:20] the first installation, is there one for quantal? [14:21] step 1 I mean [14:21] silverarrow, why don't you just tell us what you did and what works and what doesn't [14:22] with your sound that ia [14:22] is [14:23] I have no alsamixer in quantal [14:24] I have no loadspeaker icon in taskbar [14:25] I have reinstalled asa-utils and deleted files in modprobe.d [14:25] lines really [14:26] I have launched alsamixer -a basic [14:26] with error messages [14:26] silverarrow, install alsa-base [14:26] it is there [14:27] why have you deleted files in modprobe.d ? [14:28] because that is the usual suggestion for ppc [14:28] and it worked in 12.04 [14:28] what is new name for unity-2d-panel in 12.10? [14:28] silverarrow, never heard that before [14:28] +the [14:28] however, missing alsamixer is not ppc specific this time [14:29] reinstall alsa-base and asla-utils [14:29] BluesKaj: only for ppc for some reason [14:29] I have now,and I shall try launching [14:30] nothing unfortunately [14:31] I`ve been at this for a few days now [14:31] which sound card , silverarrow ? [14:31] not sure [14:32] aplay -l in the termina; [14:32] terminal [14:33] if you don't know which sound card , why are you editing modprobe.d ? [14:35] no sound cards foun [14:35] found* [14:36] then you need to reinstall asla-base and alsa-utils [14:36] BluesKaj, because the fix works for G4s, and I was told to do so on 12.04, and it worked [14:37] I just have! [14:37] right now [14:37] silverarrow, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y --reinstall install alsa-base alsa-utils [14:38] run that command [14:40] done [14:40] cannot open mixer, no such file or directory [14:42] BluesKaj: if you get any ideas on how to go about it, please let me know [14:51] sudo alsa-force-reload . if there's no output , then reboot , silverarrow [14:51] ooops sudo alsa force-reload [15:15] oh [15:15] yes [15:16] for reboot then [15:19] oh brilliant, no alx module in 12.10 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/927782).

I cant start X 2. there are no drivers [16:06] at least the internet doesnt know about them [16:06] BBL ...stuff to do [16:06] but I'll try it again with ssh x forwarding [16:14] and yes jockey-kde dosnt find any drivers [16:21] what about the error [16:21] [ 636.234] (EE) intel(0): [drm] Failed to detect GEM.

[16:28] TheOneRing: Does the motherboard have support for HDMI HDCP? [16:34] it has atleast a hdmi port [16:34] the device is a tablet [16:36] Some intel-based systems have Protected Audio Video Path (PAVP) which can trigger that error. Not sure tablet hardware would, though.

[17:02] I just came here to get some help [17:15] what do you think of skyfall theme XVampireX [17:15] Sounds good, I like the fact that Adele is not a pop singer :P [17:16] (Well, wikipedia does give it the pop tag, lol, but it's not a pop song in any way... soul perhaps) [17:41] hey all, is there a way to choose my session in lightdm? I don't get any button on either of my users to choose the session with [17:41] sure [17:41] hit the wheel and a dropdown menu will appear [17:42] hey, is anyone else having issues with FGLRX causing X11 (or whatever is used to detect relevant hardware) to not detect it when FGLRX is installed and configured with aticonfig? [17:43] I ask because if this is more than just me, I'll be submitting a bug report. [17:43] bazhang: what wheel? I don't get any wheel [17:43] I have two user accounts, and unchecked auto login on my main account, but lightdm.conf still has autologin set to my main user [17:43] jpwhiting, to the right hand side of the password field [17:44] to the right hand side of the password field is an arrow [17:44] when I click it it logs in [17:44] if I right click it it logs in [17:44] never get a menu [17:44] no whele appears [17:44] *wheel [17:44] less enter please [17:44] ok, sorry, my bad :) [17:45] perhaps wheel is the wrong descriptor [17:45] jpwhiting: if this is a default ubuntu install, there are no other sessions to choose from so the session button won't appear [17:45] I've heard there's supposed to be a cog [17:45] jpwhiting, the wheel is above the password field next to the username. [17:45] that would do it [17:45] the wheel that bazhang is talking about. [17:46] trism: ah, I see, I have built my own kde into /usr/local, does lightdm not look there for session files? [17:46] install gnome-shell , gnome-panel or the like [17:46] jpwhiting: I believe it will only look in /usr/share/xsessions/ (but not 100% on that) [17:46] I take it nobody here even uses fglrx? [17:46] jpwhiting: you could always copy a .desktop file there with the correct paths [17:46] trism: ah, ok I'll put a kde one in there, cool thx [17:47] * jpwhiting thought the session chooser would at least have unity and unity 2d or something [17:47] meh [17:47] unity-2d was dropped a while back so just the Ubuntu session now [17:47] they need to be installed, unity-2d [17:47] !find unity-2d [17:48] bazhang: the packages are there but they are empty [17:48] Found: libunity-2d-private-dev, unity-2d-dbg, libunity-2d-private0, unity-2d, unity-2d-common [17:48] jpwhiting, they dropped that in favor of an llvm pipe [17:48] !info unity-2d [17:48] unity-2d (source: unity): transitional dummy package. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.4.0-0ubuntu6 (quantal), package size 7 kB, installed size 84 kB [17:48] trism, so it's fallback now? [17:48] just made from the unity package [17:48] bazhang: yeah it is supposed to fallback to llvmpipe for software rendering [17:48] ok thanks trism [17:49] bazhang, unity-2d essentially stopped existing, correct me if I'm wrong. [17:49] I just went from 11.04 to 12.10 , /ignore me [17:49] and I have kubuntu/lubuntu/xubuntu all installed [17:50] thus the 'cog' [17:50] ah, ok gotcha [17:50] * jpwhiting tries this kde.desktop [17:51] btw, what's the difference between Exec and TryExec in those files? [17:51] gnome-panel will yield the 'classic ' look [17:54] jpwhiting: I believe TryExec is a path to an executable to test for existence for whether or not to show the session, so if you had TryExec=/usr/bin/somesession but /usr/bin/somesession didn't exist or is not executable then it won't show that session [17:55] jpwhiting: helpful since for instance, gnome.desktop comes with gnome-session but you can't use that session unless you install gnome-shell [17:56] trism: ah, ok gotcha [17:56] thanks === yofel_ is now known as yofel [18:07] It is extremely annoying that there's no tool to backup user settings. Something that scans dconf and finds all key values that have been changed from default and saves this to a file would perhaps be helpful. [18:09] I'm particularly interested in backing up keyboard shortcuts. Upgrading to 12.10b2 reset all mine to defaults =\ [18:13] do you think unity 6.x will ever be backported to 12.04? [18:32] johnjohn101, If you look on the web you find these things. http://askubuntu.com/questions/183164/will-there-be-an-backport-of-unity-6-compiz-for-precise https://launchpad.net/~benkai/+archive/precise-unity-backport [18:34] thanks, have you used any of these? [18:37] johnjohn101, I have not I use gnome 3, but I would be hesitant to try the ppa without being sure I could back my way out of it if needed. [18:38] i'll probably upgrade work machine to 12.10. [18:38] i don't like using "hybrid" releases. though it would be nice to mix and match [18:39] johnjohn101, I loaded all my 12.04 stuff to 12.10 to start using it as a regular OS, but I have clones of the 12.04 and the couple other OS on my HD in case needed. [18:40] I never upgrade [18:43] i imagine the 13.04 release of ubuntu will have unity 7? [18:46] johnjohn101: I imagine so since there is already a bug targeted at it, bug 1057528 [18:46] Launchpad bug 1057528 in Unity "Small chunks of the panel shadow appear individually (and very dark)" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1057528 [18:49] Hm, how does one find the author of a package? I need an extra option to gsettings =) [19:21] hi [19:21] I need help getting gtk apps theme back to the default [19:22] I started kde session, and now in gnome, almost all GTK apps use kde theme (gtk+ oxygen) [19:22] pidgin, xchat, deluge ... [19:22] and kde (QT) apps like ktorrent, smplayer, etc, don't have theme at all [19:22] Milos_SD: "gtk+ oxygen" is not a KDE theme. [19:23] It is a gtk+ plus theme. [19:23] bekks, maybe it is not that theme [19:23] but it looks like oxygen [19:24] where is the preferred applications located in 12.10? [19:27] yea, and firefox use that theme too :) [19:27] zoktar_: System Settings/Details/Default Applications [19:27] thanks [19:28] Any one using nvidia binary proprietary driver, could you paste the framebuffers that are blacklisted in modeproble.d. I am using the driver i downloaded from the nvidia website and on a cold boot system hangs after grub [19:28] probably after starting to lod the nvidia driver [19:29] phoenix_firebrd: http://paste.kde.org/563090/ [19:32] if Milos_SD comes back, tell him to wipe ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini [19:32] and ~/.gtkrc-2.0 [19:33] yofel: no, the framebuffer one [19:33] yofel: i got it from a fellow [19:34] ah, that has nothing to do with nvidia though [19:34] yofel: does nvidiafb has problem? [19:34] is that even supposed to work? Haven't tried it in ages [19:35] yofel: no nvidia recommends to disable some framebuffer that may create problem with its driver [19:35] IIRC this system uses vesafb + nvidia-current [19:35] works, but I know the driver shows a warning [19:35] yofel: thats good, i will try vesafb [19:36] yofel: how do i get the kernel message in verbose [19:36] yofel: also afaik there is nothing in the xorg log and kernel log [19:39] well, you get the kernel messages with dmesg. Not sure what would be wrong though if you get no message. Did you boot without 'quiet splash' at least?
