ls612Is there a compat-wireless package with the alx driver yet for 12.10 beta 2?00:17
C-S-BMy laptop will not shutdown/reboot once I have logged in. suspend is fine.00:18
trismls612: did you ever get it working for 12.04?00:30
ls612yes, I'm typing this in 12.04.100:31
k1gwbHas anyone tried playing MP3's on Quantal from a Windows network share? I can't get them to play. I CAN, however, open/play ANY other files, movies, other audio formats, PDFs, pictures, etc. And the SAME MP3s that won't work from the network share DO play if first copied to the local machine.00:49
k1gwbAlso this worked flawlessly on 12.04. Can't find any other reports of it so wasn't sure if doesn't affect anyone else, or maybe no one else has tried this use case...00:49
bjsniderk1gwb, is there an error message?01:01
k1gwbbjsnider: Well, in VLC it says Your input can't be opened. Unable to open the MRL (samba path)01:04
k1gwbCheck the log for details. Tried in rhythmbox and mplayer also and rhythmbox just sits there attempting to play whereas mplayer grays out and becomes unresponsive.01:04
k1gwbit's just weird it's ONLY mp3's, and only when on the network share. MP3s play locally, and wav, avi, MP4, etc all play from the same network share.01:05
k1gwbAnyone have Ubuntu 12.10 on one Machine and Window 7 on another? :)01:39
DaekdroomI have them both on the same machine.01:40
k1gwbHmm. Maybe I'll try booting off the live CD to see if I can confirm this as a bug. Still can't play MP3's from a Windows network share no matter what I try. But ONLY MP3's. Everything else works fine off the Windows share, and MP3's work fine off the local machine.01:41
IdleOnemaybe permissions01:42
IdleOneCan't think of anything else01:42
k1gwbyeah I don't think it's permissions though cause I can copy the mp3 from the share onto the local machine and play it. I can also play/open other files from the same share (wav, avi, mp4, jpg, pdf, doc, etc) just fine.01:43
k1gwbAlso, they worked fine yesterday on 12.04. I've been working with them a lot lately.01:44
k1gwbAnd nothing has changed on the Windows computer, and the other machines (both 12.04 and Windows 7) can still play them fine from the share.01:44
k1gwbSo it is really just 12.10 that seems affected.01:44
IdleOnereport a bug,01:46
DaekdroomAgainst Samba.01:46
IdleOneyup01:46
DaekdroomIt's highly unlikely that VLC and mplayer and gstreamer all share the same flaw.01:47
DaekdroomIn the same release :P01:47
DaekdroomCan't think of anything to blame but Samba.01:47
k1gwb1ha yeah. Is the samba version different in 12.10 versus 12.04?01:47

designbybeckRandom question. When Ubuntu comes out with say 12.10.... and they have 12.04.1LTS... do they just build upon that?15:40
designbybeckjust curious as to how they do it15:40
designbybeck.15:40
jpdsdesignbybeck: Build on what15:42
jpds?15:42
designbybeckis 12.10 built on top of 12.04.0115:43
designbybecki guess I'm wondering if all the updates thus far, get put into 12.1015:43
jpdsdesignbybeck: In a way, it continues from 12.04.15:43
designbybecklike when you do a new install, and you already hve some new updates15:43
DaekdroomAll updates there is in 12.04.1 from 12.04 should be in 12.1015:43
jpdsdesignbybeck: That's because the ISO has a fixed set of packages.15:44
DaekdroomOtherwise issues might happen.15:44
designbybeckgotcha15:44
designbybeckI just tried LinuxMint Cinnamon with my laptop I'm on now. It reminded me of Ubuntu 10.04-11.04 as far as how it handled the ATI video card15:45
designbybecksuch a pain. But since Ubuntu 11.10 things have been great15:45
designbybeckI've got a new system coming in the next few days that I was debating on what distro to go with15:46
designbybeckbut I'm thinking I might just have to go with 12.10 afterall!15:46
BluesKajdesignbybeck,  which graphics in the new system ? Some ati cards are having issues in 12.10 ubuntu15:47
designbybeckthe new system will be a 1GB Quadro NVIDIA15:47
designbybeck16GB Ram Quadcore Xeon 256SSD15:48
designbybeckBluesKaj: On my laptop I might just stay with Ubuntu 12.04 which is running decently with this ATI card, or go to something like LinuxMint XCFE15:48
designbybeckso that it is a lil' lighterweight15:48
BluesKajthen you should be ok  , most nvidia run fine on 12.1015:49
designbybeck:D15:49
BluesKajyeah even my laptop with intel graphics is fine on 12.04 , but a friend with ati laptop graphics is having probs with unity so he switched to kde , problems went away ...lesser load on the gpu , a lighter form of compiz in kwin15:52
designbybeckah yes, I've always thought kwin was pretty sleek and polished15:52
designbybeckI haven't tried the beta for Kubuntu 12.1015:52
designbybeckguess I could just wait a few more days to do that15:53
BluesKaji'm sticking with 12.04 on the laptop 'til the end of november , then I'll try 12.1015:53
designbybeckUbuntu or Kubuntu BluesKaj?15:54
servaas xubuntu 12.10 high cpu load for mountall --daemon, gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor15:55
BluesKajoh kubuntu always ..I tried to like ubuntu , but it never did much for me15:55
designbybeck;)15:56
designbybeckBluesKaj:  you ever try LinuxMint KDE?16:00
BluesKajdesignbybeck, no ,but I have thought about it16:03
designbybeckI might have another look at it myself16:03
designbybeckhey BluesKaj, what is your KDE setup like? Do you customize it a lot? Awesome tweaks? change up the docks and such? Or do you stay pretty stock?16:07
BluesKajdesignbybeck, , I'm not big on eyecandy , std themes , no docks , but Iam particula rabout having a different wall paper for each desktop , landscape photos of my area16:09
designbybeckah yes16:10
designbybeckcool16:10
BluesKajor more like lake scapes :)16:10
designbybecknice!16:10
designbybecki've found that Linux Mint comes with some cool ones16:10
designbybeckOne thing I really like about the whole Linux DE community and such is that most all applications will run on other DEs16:15
designbybeckmight not look the same, but most of the time it at least works16:15
BluesKajwallpapers like this one designbybeck ..Wife's Family cottage shoreline and lake view ,http://imagebin.org/23139616:16
designbybecksweet! BluesKaj pretty awesome when it's a place you've been! ;) Most places i have on wallpapers I only dream of going to!16:17
BluesKajit's bit large due to screen size but ctrl - will bring it down16:18
designbybeckah 8desktops! iis that because you have dual monitors?16:18
BluesKajyeah , nothern Ontario , it's actually an ancient crater16:18
designbybeckdo you use all the desktops a lot? I find I don't use the others much because I have a dual screen setup16:18
BluesKajnope I designbybeck , I just like to use one desktop per app :)16:19
designbybeckwhat size monitor do you have?16:19
BluesKajit's actually our TV , 42" panasonic plasma16:20
designbybeckOOHHhhh16:20
designbybeckat home I have a system hooked to my 42" lg16:20
designbybeckpretty good setup for the most part16:20
BluesKajyerah , this pc is a basic media server for audio and video , but wife also has her own pc so get to play on this16:22
BluesKajI get to16:22
BluesKajwe 're both retired ..so I have plenty of time on my hands to fool with linux etc ...gotta fix the hinges on the laptop tho ...one of these days :)16:25
designbybeck:)16:26
designbybeckI was just looking at my LinuxDistro folder, I've got 28 of them in there  for about 24.4GB of space16:27

ubottuIf you wish not to see "More Suggestions" from places like Amazon in your Ubuntu 12.10, simply remove the package unity-lens-shopping.16:27
BluesKajdesignbybeck, any advantages using linux mint over ubuntu other than stability ?16:29
designbybeckwell like I said the headache I had with LinuxMint and the ATI card just turned me off to the whole thing. But what I did see on another system, I was liking Cinnamon, seemed to have the best of all the worlds16:30
designbybeckfelt lighter than Unity16:30
designbybeck....well best of all worlds meaning Gnome/Unity16:30
BluesKajdoes mint offer kde as an option ?'16:33
designbybeckyes16:33
designbybeckas well as XCFE16:33
designbybeckwhich I think they did a good job of bringing some visual elements/eyecandy from Mint to the XCFE at least16:33
designbybeckKDE looks pretty much the same16:34
BluesKajI've tried a few other non-debian-based distros , but the package management systems don't measure up to dpkg , so I felt deprived :)16:36
designbybeckyeah that is what one of the lead developers from Google Said about why they use Ubuntu16:36
designbybeckdid you see that article!? It was great!!!16:36
phoenix_firebrdnepomuk forgets the indexed files after restart. the files are in drives which are mounted manually. Using Kubuntu 12.10 beta 216:37

MonkeyDusttrism  no, not autoselect -- gbachot is the normal user18:49
MonkeyDustmoment18:49
trismMonkeyDust: ~/.xsession-errors might be interesting too (and see if autologin is enabled in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf)18:49
MonkeyDustlog: paste.ubuntu.com/126980118:50
trismMonkeyDust: that looks fine18:53
MonkeyDustnot seen from here18:54
trismthough the lightdm-autologin still makes me think that autologin might be in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf18:54
trismguess that just leaves ~/.xsession-errors to see if anything is crashing in there18:55
trismthough it would be strange for a fresh install for the main user not to work but new users do, did you preserve /home or anything in the install?18:56
MonkeyDustnot better after reboot18:58
trismMonkeyDust: I do notice in auth.log 'auth could not identify password for [gbachot]' do you have any strange characters in the password?18:59
MonkeyDustno, a-z 0-9 characters, the passwd is accepted when i login in a terminal session19:00
trismMonkeyDust: okay, how about ~/.xsession-errors for the user19:01
MonkeyDusttrism, i entered false passwd on purpose, got an error msg, didnt get that before19:01
MonkeyDust.xsession-errors: paste.ubuntu.com/126982419:04
trismMonkeyDust: that is interesting is byobu installed?19:07
MonkeyDustsome byobu error, installed byobu, not better (byobu is an extenion for screen, i no longer use it19:10
MonkeyDust)19:10
trismMonkeyDust: did you preserve /home in this fresh install?19:11
MonkeyDusttrism  yes19:12
trismMonkeyDust: did .xsession-errors change at all after installing byobu? I'm not certain how byobu gets set as default like that so not sure how to disable it19:14
trismMonkeyDust: generally in .xsession-errors when starting the ubuntu session you should see a bunch of compiz plugins loading, so only seeing those couple lines is odd19:15
MonkeyDusttrism  i never liked from the start, i'm used to fallback mode19:16
MonkeyDustliked compiz/unity19:16
trismMonkeyDust: if you install gnome-panel , restart lightdm and try to log in to the Classic (no effects) session does it work?19:16
MonkeyDusttrism  already tried that, not better19:17
MonkeyDustscreen freezes, restart, brb19:18
trismMonkeyDust: I checked line 27 in lightdm-session, and it seems the error is from sourcing .profile, probably not keeping you from logging in but you may want to remove the byobu stuff19:23
trismMonkeyDust: ls -l ~/.Xauthority; out of curiosity, not root owned is it? otherwise something in your home directory is keeping it from logging in but hard to tell what19:25
bandit-ledcould some one check latest libreoffice writer and see if they can paste text into a table?19:26
trismMonkeyDust: maybe some clues in /var/log/Xorg.0.log but otherwise may just need to move/delete your dotfiles out of the way until it lets you log in19:26
bandit-ledLibreoffice Version 3.6.2.219:26
bandit-lednever mind its a wine issue not libreoffice19:27
BvLHi I need a little help, I'm getting a kernel panic on my macbook (2,1), which was not present on 12.04 LTS20:07
BvLI installed Ubuntu on a external hard drive, I built a uefi comparable grub v2.00 in order to use the external drive20:07
BvLI looked in my log files and I couldn’t find this boot time kernel panic,20:07
BvLI came form the #ubuntu channel (I was suggested to try this channel by wilee-nilee), TJ- (#ubuntu channel) suggested i may be able use a "usb serial link" to get the kernel logs, but I don’t have that20:08
smallfoot-when i can haz firefox 16?20:09
BvLany additional advice would be appreciated20:09
TJ-BvL: I think video recording the screen may be the fastest way to grab the panic; without a serial port things get complicated. You can also set up a tcp connection back to a simple TCP client like netcat, but it can be difficult to set-up20:09
BvLTj- after i capture the bug, would i have to retype the whole contents of my kernel log20:11
BvLTJ- i got the the error but its i dont understand the error20:12
TJ-You only really need the lines that detail the PANIC itself, which will include a stacktrace showing where in each function the CPU was when the panic occured20:13
BvLwhats a stacktrace? is it [    0.981514]20:15
BvLeverything seams fine until i get an bug - then i get an oops - and a couple of dozen lines later i get a "kernel panic - not syncing: attempt to kill init!"...20:18
smallfoot-BvL, no a stacktrace is something you get with a debugger (such as gdb)20:19
designbybeckUSB ImageWriter vs UNetbBootin20:27
designbybeckor what else do you guys use for creating USBs20:27
BvL20:27
BvLsmallfoot- I'm still unsure what a stacktrace is, could you point me towards an example?20:27
designbybeckUnetbootin' seems old20:27
BvLin my error I do have a stack, or a call trace but I don’t think your referring to that20:27
designbybeckbut it does the job20:28
smallfoot-BvL, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_trace20:29
BvLsmallfoot-: Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP?20:33
smallfoot-BvL, doesn't look like a stacktrace, but idk, maybe your 'dmesg' output could be useful20:34
BvLsmallfoot-: I cant find the error in my logs, would 'dmesg' still show it? (boot time kernel panic)20:35
TJ-BvL:  Look at this bug for an example of the stacktrace. It starts with the "EIP: [<....." line bug #102970420:36
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1029704 in linux (Ubuntu) "Kernel Oops - Fatal exception in interrupt; EIP is at c13e812c ata_bmdma_interrupt+0x4c/0x1e0 SS:ESP 0068:f4c09f60" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/102970420:36

smallfoot-i can has firefox 16?21:03
bjsniderfirefox is up to 16 now? it will be at 100 by this time next year21:04
smallfoot-ya it is21:12
smallfoot-its 1 new release every month21:12
smallfoot-firefox daily trunk is actually version 1921:13
smallfoot-and google chrome is 2221:13
smallfoot-chrome-dev is v2421:13
smallfoot-thanks for firefox 16!! IM HAPPY NOW!!22:09
smallfoot-firefox <322:09
smallfoot-ubuntu <322:09
smallfoot-unity </322:09
jpdsUnity's great.22:13
smallfoot-jpds, i hate adware23:16
vividfeels like 12.10 is full of it...23:17
smallfoot-yeah23:17
smallfoot-unity is adware23:17
smallfoot-the new ubuntu is adware, it sucks23:17
vividi just disable it all, but it seems like i have to disable more stuff with every release23:17
smallfoot-oh23:17
smallfoot-yeah, i dont even use unity. i want to a menu to run software from, and unity is a slow, bloated kitchenthink that does everything but that... well it can do that, but it does it poorly23:18
vividi disagree, but youre entitled to your opinion23:19
vividremoving unity-scope-musicstores and unity-scope-video-remote helps alot in precise..23:19
smallfoot-and mark shuttleworth can talk about value-added user experience improvement partner content delivery technology, but it basically means ADWARE23:20
smallfoot-yeah23:20
smallfoot-i got a script that removes those 2 packages23:20
smallfoot-but i don't like unity, and i think gnome went downhill with gnome3 too... so now whole linux has gone down23:21
smallfoot-i use gnome fallback session, but it got its bugs and i hear they are planning to remove it23:21
vividi think youll find that unity becomes an excellently accepted desktop....after everyone gets off the i dont like it bandwagon23:21
smallfoot-maybe cinnamon (linux mint) or phantom (elementary) could be something23:22
vividit also feels like 199523:22
smallfoot-unity doesn't seem very well thought out for 24" screens, they made it on their netbook remix for 9" netbooks23:22
vividworks great on my 52" dont see how 24" would be any different23:22
vividclean, simple, effective23:23
smallfoot-doesn't feel so 95 with compiz and fancy plugins23:23
vividgnome legacy will always feel 199523:23
vividbecause its not moving forward23:23
smallfoot-maybe it doesn't have to23:23
smallfoot-a good paradigm is a good paradigm23:23
vividaiming to solve bug #1 doesnt include outdated ineffecient desktops23:24
smallfoot-change for the sake of change is bad23:24
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1 in Ubuntu "Proprietary operating systems have a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/123:24
vividif it did, that bug would be closed23:24
smallfoot-no it doesnt23:25
smallfoot-people want photoshop and call of duty 323:25
smallfoot-does linux have that? no it doesnt23:25
vividit will in the future23:25
smallfoot-doesn't matter how userfriendly or good linux is, its shit and ppl dont want it if doesnt have photoshop or crysis23:25
vividthats not true, i use it every day and im an avid gamer23:25
smallfoot-well, your argument of "if it did, that bug would be closed" doesn't resonate with "it will in the future"23:26
vividand gimp > photoshop23:26
smallfoot-i use linux everyday too, and i use gimp too... but gimp is better than photoshop? what are you smoking?23:26
vividif the state of linux in 1995 (where gnome legacy is) could compete, the bug would be closed23:26
smallfoot-gimp doesn't support cmyk, doesn't support deep color depths23:26
vividit supports me making fantastic artwork and websites23:26
smallfoot-yeah its good, you can do nice stuff with gimp, i use gimp... but claiming it is superior to photoshop is bs23:27
vividsure it is, check the price tag23:27
smallfoot-better = features, functionality, ability to do things, not price tag23:27
vividnot to any business exec, $$ makes things move23:27
bjsniderhow many people actually use photoshop?23:28
* vivid does not raise hand23:28
smallfoot-well then nano is better than microsoft office, because ms office cost money and nano is free23:28
smallfoot-your logic is great lol23:28
vividyea but, libreoffice is better than nano, so you compare apples to ocelots23:28
smallfoot-face it, ms office is superior to libreoffice23:29
smallfoot-and photoshop is superior to gimp23:29
smallfoot-anything else is a outright lie23:29
vividi disagree, again, youre entitled to your opinion23:29
smallfoot-"but its free!" lol, get real23:29
smallfoot-does gimp support 16-bit color depth? no it does not! gimp is great for amateur use, but its not professional software23:30
vividi wonder what the ratio of people using photoshop that bought it versus people that stole it23:30
smallfoot-doesnt matter23:30
vividit does to me, if i was in to stealing why would i use linux?23:30
smallfoot-even if 100% downloaded photoshop, it doesnt matter, ITS STILL BETTER than gimp23:30
smallfoot-i dont know, why wouldn't you?23:30
smallfoot-if you were into stealing, you wouldn't use linux?23:31
bjsnideryou can buy an oem version of photoshop for $10023:31
vividno, id just steal windows 7 and use it..23:31
smallfoot-you imply that if you were into stealing, you would use microsoft windows because it is superior, but since you're not into stealing you use linux23:31
bjsniderit's superior at crashing and getting infected23:31
vividno, youre putting words into my mouth.  its not better23:31
smallfoot-crashing? bullshit, windows is more stable than linux23:32
smallfoot-linux crashes far more often than windows does23:32
vividyea....until you get some ridiculous virus and callhomes23:32
vividafter you agree to that license...23:32
smallfoot-experienced users don't get any viruses, its only idiots who do23:32
smallfoot-and when these idiots start using linux, they will get viruses on linux too23:32
smallfoot-idiocy can not be cured23:32
vividthe majority of the world probably qualifies as "idiot"23:33
smallfoot-and linux is in no way immune to viruses23:33
vividthough, i dont think anyone has urged you to use linux.....if you dont like it youre free to go your own way :p23:33
smallfoot-i like linux, i prefer it over windows, which is why i use it23:34
smallfoot-i also like linux23:34
smallfoot-i also like gimp23:34
smallfoot-but i do admit that photoshop is superior to gimp and that windows is more stable than ubuntu23:34
vividso use those likes to change your attitude and eliminate what you think makes other applications superior23:34
vividpatches welcome23:34
smallfoot-if photoshop were free open source software and available for linux, i would use it because it is superior to gimp23:35
vividif mars were habitable, i would live there23:36
bjsniderphotoshop could be ported to linux without it being foss23:37
bjsnideralthough RMS would blow a gasket23:37
vividcould also be run with wine23:37
vividor a VM23:37
smallfoot-unless its free software i don't want it... gimp is good enough for my needs (i don't do professional graphics work) even though its inferior compared to photoshop23:39
vividi bet i could beat you in a debate on that :p23:42
smallfoot-yeah, with arguments like "gimp is free, photoshop cost money so that means gimp is better" lol23:43
vividi wouldnt even say anything, i would just use it on three platforms and make amazing graphics in realtime23:43
vividthen let you....do the same23:43
vividfriendly debate, of course23:44
smallfoot-thats like "Software X works on DOS, OpenVMS, CP/M, IRIX, HP-UX, and AIX - all these platforms, software Y only runs on Windows, so that means software X is superior to software Y"23:45
vividuh yeah.  thats an excellent factor especially when paired with professional work23:46
vividi mean, i dont only use linux...i have several windows machines and a mac23:46
smallfoot-except that nobody gives a shit about DOS, OpenVMS, CP/M, IRIX, HP-UX, and AIX23:46
vividi was hinting at linux/windows/mac, but those others are possibilities as well23:47
smallfoot-I only use Linux23:47
vividmy philosophy is bug 1 gets solved by supporting all platforms, so the software i write is always multi-platform23:47

vividstop that ubottu23:47
vividif only more influential developers agreed23:48
smallfoot-cross-platform is great, and i think its good that there are ppl who develope cross-platform software, but from a business pov it just increases development time and effort provides negative return on investment23:50
vividyea i have a philosophy on that too23:51
vividand the current state of world economics seems to support it :p23:51
