apacheloggershadeslayer: btw.... feature X being present and not working represents a regression over feature X being present and working, so regardless of whether it was remembering passwords before does not matter as an already existing feature is being fixed11:50
shadeslayerapachelogger: righto, I was under the impression that remembering passwords was a new feature, I've never used it, so I wouldn't know ;)11:50
=== pjoe_dj is now known as pjoe_afk
apacheloggershadeslayer: would still be SRUable as long as it does not introduce a new string and does not change the UI significantly :P11:52
shadeslayerbut those things are much more difficult to SRU as compared to fixing regressions ;)11:53
apacheloggershadeslayer: nah just needs to be argued well, and actually I think not remembering passwords ought to be considered a defect rather than a wish anyway11:55
shadeslayertrue11:55
douglok here goes 12.10 install... hopefully you can print from a clean install of that.11:56
SmurphyInstalling kubuntu on my gaming machine... Let's see when I can test Steam on Linux :)12:06
douglaOh damn - is 12.10 buggy as all hell too?12:08
Smurphynot for me ...12:09
lordievaderdougla: Not really?12:09
SmurphyCan't get it to run on my netbok - but the Graphic Chip is too new (Cedarview) ...12:10
douglalordievader, just a very long wait I guess? this is the 9th time installing OS in 3 days - I guess my patience is wearing thin12:11
lordievaderdougla: A long wait for what?12:12
douglalordievader, after it asks the first question after you select install kubuntu? what was the next step?12:15
lordievaderdougla: Phew haven't done an install in a while, also I have never done the 12.10 desktop install.12:16
douglalordievader, not to worry? is progressing now - just seemed like a long time without any disk activitiy so I was getting all reved up to start to whine and complain and get my money back - lol12:18
FruityPancakeswhats the command again to upgrade ?12:20
douglato 12.10 from previous?12:20
FruityPancakesyeah12:20
=== rv is now known as Guest9735
BluesKajHey all12:23
douglaBluesKaj, how are you?12:23
douglaBluesKaj, FruityPancakes wants to know what command to upgrade to 12.1012:23
BluesKajjust fine thanks dougla , and you ?12:24
BluesKajfrom ?12:24
BluesKajfrom 12.04 ?12:24
douglaBluesKaj, better now? had a rough couple of days - 3 machines were down (recovering now) and a UPS packed er in.12:24
lordievaderFruityPancakes: sudo do-release-upgrade12:25
douglaFruityPancakes, what are you at now?12:25
FruityPancakeshey sorry, package at the door12:26
douglaFruityPancakes, you missed it all...12:26
douglathe answers to life were revealed and are now gone12:27
BluesKajFruityPancakes, make sure your package manager has upgrades set to normal , not LTS  m then the command lordievader gave will work12:27
FruityPancakeshaha, maybe but I did just recieve my pint glass in the shape of a boot..12:27
FruityPancakesokay thanks12:27
douglaright the normal option? I knew I wass forgetting something12:27
lordievaderFruityPancakes: Or use the -d switch.12:27
lordievaderTough that might update to a beta.12:28
FruityPancakesi think i got the LTS of 12.0412:28
FruityPancakesi used the -d switch, i guess that ignores the LTS option?12:28
BluesKajFruityPancakes, also update/upgrade and dist-upgrade before doing the release upgrade12:28
lordievaderBut since there isn't a beta release of 13.04 yet, it will just update to 12.10.12:28
FruityPancakesYeah i tried the dist upgrade earlier, had nothing else to update :)12:29
douglabooting 12.1012:29
BluesKajFruityPancakes, no -d doesn't ignore the LTS option , the LTS only upgrade has to be disabled12:31
FruityPancakesi see, I just changed the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades option from lts to normal12:31
BluesKajok , then you should be good to go , FruityPancakes12:32

xixoris it a'ight to mix and match apt-get, aptitude and muon, when installing and upgrading?12:40
BluesKaj!aptitude | xixor12:41
ubottuxixor: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information.12:41
xixorso, is there any problems with mix and matching using apt-get, aptitude and muon on a daily basis?12:42
BluesKajmuon and and apt-get both use the dpkg package management system as does aptitude with the caveat above , xixor12:43
douglawell 12.10 sucked? lets reinstall 12.04...12:43
xixordougla: 12.10 is not working for you?12:43
BluesKajmuon is merely a gui12:43
douglanope12:43
crash_I really liked 10.10, compiz works best.12:44
BluesKaj12.10 is graet on my setup ..depends on your hw of course12:44
BluesKajerr great :)12:45
xixorBluesKaj: ok, thanks, that clears it up12:46
BluesKajxixor, best to stick with apt-get and muon IMO12:47
BluesKajheh, I even used synaptic til 12.0412:47
douglame too12:48
douglasynaptic12:48
xixor12.10 is working fine for me, seems pretty stable so far.  I had a few KDE apps crash frequently in 12.0412:48
BluesKajkde 4.8 was a bit shaky in 12.0412:49
xixorah, makes sense12:51
xixor4.9 in 12.10 seems qutie a bit more stable, at least to me anyway12:51
BluesKajyes it is12:52
douglacan you upgrade to 4.9 in 12.04?12:53
SmurphyJust installed it on my Gaming Computer. i5 2.6GHz, 8GB Ram, GTX660Ti, 2x1TB Disks (1 using Win7, the other KUbuntu) :) XiFi Creatives Audio-Card.12:54

douglausing an old trick I learned from microsoft? format then install...13:02
dougla12.04 grub failed to install13:02
dougla11th time is a charm? lets install 12.04 completely now13:03
BluesKajdougla, your homedir isn't compatible , how so ?13:04
jbeattyHow is your home dir not compatible with 4.9? If your KDE settings are totally broken, you can just delete the one config folder13:04
jbeattynot like KDE is a real pain to configure13:04
myounisHello everyone..  I'm M Younis and this is my first time in Kubuntu.. I've been using Linuxmint for more than a year now.. And  I think it's quite same like linuxmint KDE..13:05
myouniswell I'll see about other differences as I use it for someitme..13:05
BluesKajdougla, have you run sudo os-prober then sudo update-grub ?13:05
myounisI have some questions: The DVD I installed was about 3.27 GBs.. And when I launched firefox it asked me to install it..13:05
jbeattyHowever, the problem with the login screen going black then coming back is one I had in Arch a few months back. I didn't ever fix it (ended up using startx instead). Is this on an updated system?13:05
jbeattymyounis: Yes? Firefox isn't bundled, I don't think.13:06
BluesKajmyounis, only FF installer is packaged13:06
myounisif these kind of useful apps aren't bundled than what stuff consumed that 3.27 GBs??13:06
jbeattyKubuntu doesn't bundle Firefox because we already have a web browser bundled.13:07
myouniswhich one??13:07
jbeattyRekonq, I believe.13:07
BluesKajrekonq13:07
jbeattyBut you may prefer Firefox, which is why the installer is bundled (even if the program is not).13:07
douglaI don't understand enuff to explain what went wrong or what does not work? but I do the install with doug as user? sudo mv doug doug.install# then ln -s doug.kubuntu-12.04 doug and login and my good ole 12.04 and all its config is there? but not so with 12.1013:07
BluesKajwhich is awful13:07
jbeattyAt least it's WebKit.13:08
myounisOkay.. I'll just check it.. Thanks for the support jbeatty and BluesKaj13:08
BluesKajmaybe so jbeatty but itstill doesn't render a lot of sites properly , javascript problems for one13:09
jbeattydougla: why are you doing all those commands? just keep a /home partition and mount it as /home13:09
douglajbeatty, I do13:09
BluesKajwhy all the moving your user13:10
BluesKajdougla,^13:10
myounisis there any channel for Kubuntu general chat? Where people can ask questions that are not so important?13:10
douglaif I let linux just use my old home dir it will fek it up13:10
BluesKaj#kubuntu-offtopic13:10
jbeattyNo it won't.13:10
douglaI believe IMO13:11
BluesKajmyounis,^13:11
jbeattyJust mount the /home partition as /home and let it do its work.13:11
TOM_otakuxtelepathy 0.013:11
douglabeen there done that13:11
douglaand yes it does13:11
myounisthanks BluesKaj :-)13:11
jbeattyWorst case scenario, you end up with incompatible configuration files.13:11
jbeattySo... delete them.13:11
dougladelete the configs I am trying to preserve?13:12
jbeattyIf you want to use newer software, that is sometimes necessary.13:12
jbeattyIf you don't want to use newer software, don't bother upgrading.13:12
jbeattyYou can't have your cake and eat it too.13:12
TOM_otakuxyes, i have the same problem for that XD13:12
TOM_otakuxsometimes you need to remove the config13:12
TOM_otakuxor remove rc13:12
douglaI don't? I want to use 12.04 and all its glory for 5 yrears or 3 or whatever it is13:12
BluesKaj a / partition would solve your /home preservation13:13
BluesKajdougla,^13:13
douglaBluesKaj, / = sda1 /home = sda613:14
douglabeen doing that for more than 10 years now13:14
BluesKajdougla, then what are you worried about ?13:14
jbeatty>more than 10 years now13:14
jbeattywatch out, we've got a badass over here13:14
douglalol - do I sound stressed? no worries, just chatting with you friends here.13:15
BluesKajdougla, I don't understand your concern about your ~/13:16
BluesKajbtw sda6?13:17
dougla12.04 home dir did not work with 12.10 install? and sda6 - I have no idea how that went down sda 1,2,3 one root one home and one swap is good for me (I may have been impaired)13:19
douglaBluesKaj, ^^^^13:19
douglaI am sober now tho13:20
jbeattyYour first sentence doesn't even make sense. The "home dir" doesn't work? Did we get a new FHS in the past six months?13:21
douglaI don't understand enuff to explain what went wrong or what does not work? but I do the install with doug as user? sudo mv doug doug.install# then ln -s doug.kubuntu-12.04 doug and login and my good ole 12.04 and all its config is there? but not so with 12.1013:22
BluesKajdougla, ok , next time you do a clean install , reformat the whole drive with a new partition table ...that doesn't always work , the way it's supposed13:22
xixorDoes anyone else find dolphin takes a while to load?  is there a way to pre-load it?  For example, windows explorer appears in the blink of an eye on windows 7, dolphin takes a few seconds to spool up for me on my machine13:22
jbeattySee, that's why I don't believe you're a ten year user. There is no justification for such shenanigans. If your configuration doesn't work, re-do it. If your /home partition doesn't work, you did something wrong: fix it.13:23
douglaBluesKaj, that is the plan? this partition scheme I have is leftover from gentoo if I remember corectly13:24
yossarianukhi -I need help with compiling the ubuntu kernel - i.e kernel + ubuntu patches..  I know how to compile a kernel generally from  kernel.org (make-kpkg), and I know how to use git to do it .13:26
yossarianukI would like to know how to compile via the linux-source-3.5.0 package....  I notice the kernel source is @ /usr/src/linux-source-3.5.0/linux-source-3.5.0.tar.bz2 - is this just the vinilla source ? what do I do with the debian/ + debian.master/ folders ? Do I use make-kpkg or the standard debian packaging commands13:26
douglajbeatty, hmm - good thing I don't care what you believe or I may be offended? lets be friends13:26

TOM_otakuxi upgrade from 12.0413:31
yossarianukI have compiled my own kernels for years....13:31
yossarianukits not the issue with the kernel compiling but about the linux-source package and the way its built into deb13:32
BluesKaj!who | TOM_otakux,13:32

BluesKajyossarianuk, why not find an oss deb file and install with dpkg?13:32
douglayossarianuk, I have not for years but if I recall debian had an install process that could not be beat? compiling was the usual but the package install really made me happy13:32
