yofelozzzy: stale lock files? for firefox it would be ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/lock00:00
simplewyofel: after i save series, i need to run again quilt?00:00
yofelsimplew: just run debuild00:01
ozzzytks... lemme check00:01
yofelozzzy: that would be my first guess if it's really not running00:01
simplewyofel: debuild or dpkg-buildpackage?00:02
yofeljust use debuild as it's less to type...00:03
simplewyofel: but whats the difference?00:03
yofelsimplew: please read the debuild manpage00:04
yofelesp. the DESCRIPTION00:04
simplewyofel: continues not building, but before, i have changed sources to raring, dont i need to change the distro version anywhere also?00:10
yofelwhat does it fail with this time?00:11
yofeland no, it will simply build using what you have and for the release you are running00:11
yofelnormally the release is set in the changelog file, but that's only when you upload to debian or launchpad00:12
simplewyofel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/132789000:12
yofeldid you really disable the patch? doesn't look like it00:12
yofelwait00:13
yofelthat's your old paste00:13
simplewyofel: yes i did disabled the patch00:13
simplewoh00:13
simplewlet me check again00:13
simplewyofel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/132791300:13
yofelyou modified these files by hand, which isn't allowed unless done by quilt:00:14
yofel network-manager-0.9.7.0/src/nm-device.c00:14
yofel network-manager-0.9.7.0/src/nm-manager.c00:14
simplewyofel: i did not00:14
yofelyou did, by accident, by wrongly applying a patch or however else00:15
simplewyofel: so whats my chances now? i need to do all over again from the beggining?00:15
yofeljust unpack the source somewhere else again and copy the original files over00:15
simplewok00:15
simplewyofel: to check the  patches is to run with quilt push -a ?00:19
yofelyes00:19
ozzzyanother stupid question.... why might dolphin NOT want to go to details mode00:20
ozzzyactually... it won't change view modes at all except for 'root'00:21
simplewyofel: quilt has to be run from what dir?00:23
yofelsource dir00:24
yofelas it'll look in debian/patches/ for the patches00:24
simplewbut im inside network-manager-0.9.7.0 and says cant find series file00:25
yofeldid you set QUILT_SERIES?00:26
yofeler00:26
simplewups, sorry :)00:26
yofelQUILT_PATCHES00:26
simplewdone00:26
yofel(as I said, put that in your .bashrc, you'll need it ;) )00:26
simplewalso done00:26
simplewyofel: this is the first output i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/132794300:27
simplewyofel: so those are the patches i need to disable, correct?00:28
yofelsimplew: only dhcpv6-duid-support.patch fails, the others are fine00:28
=== thelionroars is now known as thelionkingroars
simplewyofel: ok now quilt is happy, im gg to debuild00:31
simplewyofel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/132795100:32
yofelsame issue as before, and same fix00:33
simplewok is commencted that patch00:33
simplewyofel: im having the same problem as before00:34
simplewand i did erased the previous files, got a new ones and made the all process all over00:34
yofelhm...00:34
simplewhavent touched in any files manually00:34
simplewonly in series00:34
yofeltry running 'dpkg-source --commit'00:35
simplewyofel: the problem seams to be caused by i have runned "quilt refresh" like was specified in the first build error00:38
simplewso i got a new source file, changed series and run debuild, and now is building00:38
yofelo.O00:38
simplewyofel: because when i run quilt refresh it did said some about those 2 files00:39
simplewyofel: rpm build its far more simple00:39
yofela few years ago the patch management in debian was rather sloppy, and patch systems were optional. But that made some packages rather hard to maintain00:40
yofelnow patch management is really strict. you just have to get used to it00:40
simplewhere i go again with another build error00:40
simplewyofel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/132797000:41
yofelsimplew: delete and .symbols file in debian/00:41
yofels/and/any/00:41
xixoryo, anyone use mutt for their mail program?00:42
simplewyofel: symbols?00:43
simplewah ok00:43
simplewyofel: and now?00:43
yofelthose files contain library symbols so you can track ABI changes when updating a package00:43
yofelnow just build again00:43
simplewfor exmaple now in rom i could just run "rpm -ba --short-circuit foo.spec" to get the binaries build since the make part was already done, is possible that with debuild?00:44
yofeldebuild -nc00:45
xixormy next linux project will be to configure mutt to send and receive email from two custom google apps domains, and my gmail account.  This will be my biggest and most difficult project.  My past triumphs include getting *both* my sound, and graphics cards working00:46
simplewyofel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/132798400:47
yofellooks fine, it just failed because -us -uc was missing00:47
yofelthe build went fine though00:48
simplewyes00:48
xixorI estimate that this project may be impossible00:49
simplewyofel: now regarding the other subject, if i want to move to devel, i changed the sources to raring like you told me, but isnt there anything else to do?00:50
yofelnothing except 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'00:51
yofeli.e. just installing updates as usual00:51
simplewyofel: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.00:52
yofellsb_release -r  says what?00:52
simplewRelease:        12.1000:52
yofel:/00:53
yofelcan you please pastebin your sources.list?00:53
xixorbut still, I shall try, even though I suspect it is a fools errand00:54
simplewyofel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/132799400:54
yofelxixor: you won't know until you try ;P00:54
* yofel never used mutt, but needs to fix the mail relay setup on his server too one of these days00:55
xixorI liken mail configuration on linux to a Brazilian airport.  A chaotic mishmash of ignored standards, and none of the involved parties communicating with one another, yet, somehow, mail (or passengers), get delivered.00:56
yofelsimplew: you didn't switch everything. Try it with 'sudo sed 's/quantal/raring/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list'00:56
simplewyofel: i changed what was possible to change from muon sources00:57
=== nick is now known as Guest8483
yofelthat's not everything00:57
simplewyofel: i didnt knew, as you know im new to deb00:57
yofelsimplew: if you ever have system issues later, support and discussion for +1 is in #ubuntu+100:58
simplewyofel: yeap i know, so your not running raring00:58
yofelsimplew: I did tell you to edit /etc/apt/sources.list - I intentionally mentioned the filename00:58
* yofel has: Release: 13.04, so yes I am00:58
simplew:)00:59
simplewyofel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/132800701:00
simplewseams the extras for raring are with problems01:00
yofelah, comment the lines for that out (line 49 and 50 in you sources.list)01:01
yofelthe partner and extras archive don't really exist for devel. As one is 3rd party stuff and one is for new packages that are added post-release01:01
yofelthey're initialized a few weeks before release01:02
simplewyofel: when doing an upgrade isnt possible to put apt listing the new packages but also showing the versions (instead just showing packages names)?01:03
yofelapt-get can't do that, you can try aptitude's ncurses UI if you want01:04
simplewyofel: yes, how?01:04
yofel'sudo aptitude', you might need to install it01:04
simplewyofel: yes i get it, so isnt possible to have by default apt-get showing also the version instead just packages names?01:11
yofelnot that I know of, maybe you'll find something in the manpage or so01:11

myounisHi everyone.. Is anyone there?13:21
lordievadermyounis: Yes, it is quiet though. Do you have a question?13:21
tobiasBoraHello !13:24
tobiasBoraI've a small problem :13:24
lordievader!ask| tobiasBora13:24
ubottutobiasBora: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience13:24
myounishey lordievader.. Nice to see you. I don't think you'd be rememering my problem last time. It's same. it solved for that time but when I rebooted the system it became slow again.. So I again went to Desktop settings and switched the compositing type to xrender and than to opengl..13:24
myounisand I have to do it everytime I reboot the system13:24
lordievadermyounis: Ah yes, you had installed the driver for your card right?13:25
tobiasBoraI updated recently in Kubuntu 12.10 and some programs are in french (my language), but others are in English, like Amarok or my network manager. In 12.04, they were in french, so I don't understand why they are in english now...13:25
tobiasBora(sorry lordievader for the several lines)13:26
myounisno.. i didn't.. probelm started when I changed teh desktop setting to desktop cube13:26
lordievadertobiasBora: Don't worry, it's better than using <enter> as punctuation :)13:26
yofeltobiasBora: the translation handling changed a bit in 12.10, can you check if frensh is in the list of preferred languages in the locale settings?13:27
yofel*french13:27
lordievadermyounis: What does the jockey say? "jockey-kde" in a terminal.13:27
tobiasBorayofel: yes I've put "french" in the left window part in "favorite language"13:29
yofeltobiasBora: try to add it on the right side13:29
=== rajesh is now known as Guest59819
tobiasBoraeuh sorry right (writting mistake)13:29
yofeldid that install anything?13:30
tobiasBorayofel: yes13:30
tobiasBorayofel: I don't remember the packages name, but if my memory is good yes13:30
yofelis amarok translated now?13:31
tobiasBorano13:31
yofelok, let me check something13:31
=== Vito_away is now known as Vito
tobiasBorayofel: And in Amarok I tried to go in "Help/Switch language", but French isn't in the big list ! It's very strange : serbe language is present but not french...13:34
myounislordievader. It think you're talking about the yellow splat symbol with an exclamation mark in it.. It just says taht Ubundu has experienced an internal error. and tells to restart the computer13:35
yofeltobiasBora: true, amarok 2.6 is missing any french translations13:36
lordievadermyounis: No I'm not actually. Do you know how to open a terminal?13:37
tobiasBorayofel: but in kubuntu 12.04, french was present... I'm sure because before I typed "note:>2" and now I've to write "rating:>2"13:38
tobiasBoraDon't you think it's a more general problem ? Because a second application has the same problem : network manager13:39
tobiasBora*management13:39
myounisOh.. are you talking about terminal/shell.. of course I do.. I got confused with jocky and thought you are asking about the thing that shows errors13:39
myounisBut don't know how to use KDE-jocky in terminal13:40
yofeltobiasBora: amarok 2.5 still had french translations, 2.6 dropped them and I don't offhand know why13:40
yofelthe amarok developers simply didn't ship them13:40
lordievadermyounis: No the jockey is a gui for installing gfx drivers. So run "jockey-kde" in a terminal.13:40
tobiasBorayofel: Oh ok... So I've to wait for an other release ?13:41
myounisokay13:41
tobiasBoraI'm going to try to write to the developper to see if it's normal13:41
myounislordievader, it says that no proprietary drivers are in use on this system..13:43
lordievadermyounis: Ok, are there drivers available?13:43
ziziHi i want an app for remote control  like teamviewer any suggestions?13:43
myounisnop13:43
zizii dont like teamviewer because it depends on wine13:44
lordievadermyounis: What does the command "lspci -v|grep VGA" spit out?13:44
tobiasBorathanks yofel13:44
lordievaderzizi: Take a look at the VNC or RDP protocols.13:44
zizi?13:45
BluesKajzizi, http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux.aspx , no wine required for the deb package13:45
myounisIt came out with this..:13:45
myounis00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])13:45
ziziyeah i installed the deb package still needs wine13:46
BluesKajwhere does it say it needs wine in the dependency list ?13:46
zizijust starts wine13:47
ziziwhen i start teamviewer13:48
lordievadermyounis: That explains why there aren't any drivers. Let's put your cpu in performance mode, perhaps that helps. sudo cpufreq-set -g performance (you might need to install some package for this).13:48
BluesKajzizi, ok , then there's no real linux version , it has the emulator built in ...this borders on a scam.13:50
myounislordievader what packages.. and do I have to install them before running this command or after?13:50
tsimpsonWine Is Not an Emulator ;)13:51
yofeltobiasBora: no problem, I can only tell you that theoretically there are french translations. But amarok 2.6 Final doesn't include them.13:51
lordievadermyounis: Simply run the command, if it misses something it will complain about it.13:51
tobiasBorayofel: and you don't know if there is a package to install it ?13:51
ziziso is there any other app?13:52
yofeltobiasBora: all translations that we have are part of the amarok-common package. You'll have to ask the amarok developers what happened to the french ones13:52
BluesKajtsimpson, what's the prper term  then, if quacks like duck , walks like duck, looks like duck ..it's duck :)13:52
myounislordievader. it says command not found. can you type the command again?13:53
tsimpsonit's an API compatibility layer, it just "translates" the WinAPI calls to native OS (Linux) calls13:53
tobiasBorayofel: I just asked in #amarok and this is the answer : the french translation wasn't complete enough to include for 2.6 unfortunately, due to manpower issues on the kde french team. should be back for the next version13:53
yofeltobiasBora: once amarok 2.7 is out it'll be backported to 12.10, so you'll have to wait13:54
lordievadermyounis: Ah, server command is different from the command on my laptop: sudo cpufreq-selector -g performance13:54
myounislordievader..still.. command not found13:55
tobiasBorayofel: what backported really mean ? It'll be in a ppa, or in the main kubuntu repositories ?13:55
yofeltobiasBora: first in the kubuntu backports ppa, but it should end up later in the official repositories13:56
lordievadermyounis: So it isn't something in the base install: sudo apt-get install cpufrequtils, then try the commadns again.13:57
=== david is now known as Guest17904
myounislordievader.. it's installing.. whta's cpufrequtils btw?13:59
lordievadermyounis: Tools for changing the clock frequency of your cpu :)14:00
myounisOh.. okay..14:00
myounislordievader. I ran the command.. but the commands you gave earlier still don't work..14:01
tobiasBorayofel: a long time after ?14:02
lordievadermyounis: What do you get when you type: cpufreq <tab> (let bash autocomplete)14:02
yofeltobiasBora: hard to say, depends on who does it, that it's not forgotten, and on how responsive the ubuntu backports team is14:03
myounislordievader. bash doesn't autocomplete14:03
myounisI tried14:03
yofeltobiasBora: there will be an announcement on kubuntu.org when 2.7 is out which will tell where you can find it14:04
tobiasBorayofel: ok, thanks for your help !14:04
lordievadermyounis: That is very odd, does it autocomplete for other commands?14:05
myounislordievader. no it doesn't autocomplete but when I press tab a coupld of time it give back options..14:07
lordievadermyounis: Does it give options for cpufreq <tab>?14:07
myounishere is what I got for sudo cpufreq-...14:07
myouniscpufreq-aperf  cpufreq-info   cpufreq-set14:07
lordievadermyounis: Ah so it is the command from my server: sudo cpufreq-set -g performance14:08
myounisokay14:08
myounislordievader. it gave an error... "Error setting new values. Common errors:"14:09
myounisand there were couple things that followed14:10
lordievadermyounis: Can you pastebin the errors?14:10
myounisokay14:10
myounislordievader. check this id 37511 on http://www.letscopypaste.com/14:15

lordievadermyounis: Hehehe, there is the problem.14:36
myounis:) where?14:36
lordievadermyounis: This error  might also relate to the slow performance of the system.14:36
lordievadermyounis: "no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU" <- that line.14:36
myounisoh.. so how can i get rid of it?14:37
myounishow can I sovle this problem?14:37
BluesKajdougl, what are looking to monitor on your gpu ?14:37
lordievadermyounis: Do you know what cpu is running in your system by any chance?14:39
douglBluesKaj, the useage and temp if I can but mostly usage thru ssh while I play a 1080p movie in xbmc.14:39
douglBluesKaj, is a fanless asus nvidia gt52014:40
douglmy microsoft remote just worked (almost) with my 12.10 install... controlled xbmc right out of the box except for an ok key or a select key - anyone have any thots on where to start to look for config for remote?14:41
DarthFrogdougl: I don't know anything about xmbc but you will have a .lircrc directory in your home directory.  LIRC is the IR control program.  Likely the button assignments will be somewhere under that dir.14:43
douglDarthFrog, good show... thanks I will start digging there.14:44
DarthFrogActually, it's .lirc not .lircrc.  And my button assignments for MythTV are there.14:44
douglDarthFrog, you run mythfrontend and desktop same time dual head?14:45
DarthFrogdougl:  You will also want to look at /etc/lirc/14:45
DarthFrogdougl:  Not anymore.  My backend server is downstairs, with my NFS box (11 TB total storage).  My frontend machine in the living room runs off an 8 GB USB stick.  And I have the frontend running on both mine and my wife's computers.14:46
myounislordievader.. I'm using  dell optiplex 280.. I don't know what cpu it uses'14:46
DarthFrogmyounis:  "cat /proc/cpuinfo" will tell you.14:47
DarthFrogmyounis:  Or "dmesg | less".14:47
douglDarthFrog, wierd no lirc config dirs on 12.10 install14:47
DarthFrogdougl: Then it must not be using lirc.14:48
lordievadermyounis: Probably a Pentium 4, but run DarthFrog's command.14:48
douglif not lirc then what - lol14:48
myounisvendor_id       : GenuineIntel. model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz14:48
myounisi did run the command.. it came out with info that i just shared14:49
DarthFrogdougl:  Now you're going to have to read the instructions for xmbc.  Or go on their IRC channel and ask.14:49
douglDarthFrog, very well then - thanks for the help :)14:50
lordievadermyounis: Did you try out the live-cd/dvd/usb? Did it have the same performance penalty?14:52
myounislordievader.. I'm running dual boot.. with windows.. and window work fine..14:54

spidyhey anybody?17:35
spidyI searched whole internet17:35
spidyno words about this17:35
Obsidian1723You are updating or upgrading?17:36
spidyUpgrading to Kubuntu 12.1017:36
Obsidian1723Why?17:36
spidyDon't know17:36
Obsidian1723I wouldn't recommend it.17:37
spidyEven iso bootable doesn't show upgrade opiton17:37

spidyTelepathy17:38
spidyCan telepathy be installed in 12.04 with KDE 4.9.1?17:38
Obsidian1723that I don't know. I guess it would depend on the version of the program you want to install.17:39
spidyokay17:40
Obsidian1723Still, I don't recommend upgrading to an Non-LTS version of Ubuntu.17:40
Obsidian1723LTS or Long Term Support releases are more stable than the non-LTS releases are. The non-LTS releases are really alphas and betas for the next LTS. Ubuntu (and all Ubuntu forks) come from Debian. Debian uses 3 repos ... debian-unstable where the newest software is at, then once it's matured, it goes into debian-testing, from there once the next version of Debian is set to be released and the distro is frozen, everything is moved into17:40
Obsidian1723debian-stable, and this is where all final Debian releases come from. Ubuntu LTS (and thus its' forks) are ultimately sourced from debian-testing whereas the NON-LTS releases of Ubuntu (and it's forks), ultimately come from debian-unstable --- which is called "unstable" for a reason... it's unstable. 12.10 is an unstable release.17:40

ubottuMarius80: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience18:35
Marius80KDE4 is actually playing "Eastern" with me, wherein KDE4 is the easterbunny18:35
Marius80means:  There is a task manager showing "buttons" referring to all the opened windows, right?18:35
Marius80in the panel...18:35
Marius80hard to explain,  but actually it's pretty simple as well18:36
Marius80the "buttons" change places all the time18:36
lordievaderMarius80: Perhaps a screenshot can help.18:36

Marius80so if I think to know where for example "firefox" is or "kwrite", the next time it will be on an other place18:36
Marius80lordievader, I am typing, not pasting18:36
lordievaderMarius80: It was more for if you wanted to post a screenshot...18:37
Marius80actually I would need to make a video18:37
Marius80it's so crazy,  you need to see that18:37
Marius80I even know the reason for the problem18:38
Marius80but I cannot find a way to solve it without recompiling kde18:38
Marius80lordievader, I am going to explain it:18:39
lordievaderMarius80: What are the settings for your task-manager? Specifically Grouping and Sorting (and maybe the filters)18:39
Marius80No grouping18:39
Marius80and the most important thing causing the problem:18:39
Marius80[x] Force row settings18:39
Marius80Maximum rows [2]18:39
Marius80normally,  KDE4 would place the windows from the left to the right,  row-based,18:40
Marius80since I tell KDE4 to force my row settings,  it starts like in kde3 (what I want) and does it column based18:40
Marius80[ window 1]18:40
xixortl;dr18:40
Marius80[ window 2]18:40
Marius80then I open a 3rd window,  and now it happens:18:41
Marius80[ window 1]18:41
Marius80sorry, forget about that18:41
Marius80I start from new:18:41
Marius80[ window 1 ]       [ window 3]18:41
Marius80no, wrong again18:41
Marius80sorry18:41
Marius80It made my head go crazy18:42
Marius80[ window 1]     [ window 2 ]18:42
Marius80[ window 3]18:42
Marius80heh,  thats it18:42
Marius80do you get the problem?18:42
lordievaderMarius80: That is your begin situation?18:43

lordievaderMarius80: Ah I see, have you played with the sorting options? The "Do Not Sort" option might work.18:49
Marius80yes18:50
Marius80lordievader, it's not a problem of sorting18:50
Marius80I've tried all of those sorting stuff18:50
Marius80the problem is,  that the option "[x] Force row settings"  does not work as expected18:51
lordievaderMarius80: For me when I force the row setting a new window opens at the position of firefox.18:53
lordievaderMarius80: I think this too is not what you want?18:53
Marius80at the position of firefox?!18:53
Marius80how ugly is this!18:53
Marius80it should be like this:18:54
Marius80[ window 1 ]    [ window 3 ]18:54
Marius80[ window 2 ]    [ window 4 ]18:54
lordievaderMarius80: Hold on, I disabled the sorting, and now it opens at the end, under your kwrite.18:54
Marius80of course... and now open 1 more window18:54
Marius80just a 5th one18:54
lordievaderMarius80: Like that, yes.18:54

Marius80lordievader, you might be right,  I need to try that out19:08
Marius80lordievader, I hoped that there is an option to set rather than to patch19:09
Marius80lordievader, one last question:19:09
Marius80I tried really hard,  but I could not get KDE 4.9 installed from the backports19:09
Marius80I had 4.8.419:09
Marius80when I tried to upgrade,  I got 4.8.519:09
Marius80I changed the pin (priority)19:10
Marius80and then I only got offered 4 more kde programs to install19:10
Marius80the backports are in my sources.list and I use apitutude19:10
lordievaderMarius80: apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade?19:11
Marius80dist-upgrade would give me kubuntu 12.10 then, right?19:11
lordievaderMarius80: Unless you pinned some version you should be fine.19:11
Marius80I would like to stay at 12.0419:11
lordievaderMarius80: No that is a do-release-upgrade.19:11
lordievaderMarius80: I know how confusing it can be...19:11
Marius80what is aptitude "upgrade" then?!19:11
Marius80don't tell me I misunderstood that for over 10 years of debian and ubuntu?19:12
Marius80lordievader, will aptitude dist-upgrade also work or do I need to use apt-get?19:13
BluesKajalways use apt-get , aptitude is depracated19:14
lordievaderMarius80: I don't use Aptitude, however I can tell you the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade for aot-get. Upgrade will only upgrade packages, it will not remove any packages or make major changes to the system, dist-upgrade does remove packages and installs packages that change the system in a major way. For example kernel-updates is something the regular upgrade wont do dist-upgrade will.19:14
Marius80BluesKaj, what?!  I've read so much about the differences between  aptitude and apt-get,  and  aptitude was always  mentioned to be the better choise19:15
BluesKaj!aptitutde > Marius8019:15
Marius80BluesKaj, nothing happend19:15
BluesKaj!aptitude > Marius8019:16
ubottuMarius80, please see my private message19:16
Marius80lordievader, and a dist-upgrade (which sounds very dangerous) is the only way to get KDE 4.9 ?19:16
BluesKajdist-upgrade is not dangerous19:16
Obsidian1723yeah, it is19:16
BluesKajoh lord , here we go again19:17
Obsidian1723better to unmount /home, nuke and pave, install, remount19:17
lordievaderIt can be, kernel-upgrades kill a lot of gfx drivers19:17
Marius80BluesKaj,  wasn't this the text of a techno song of my youth?19:17
=== kubuntu is now known as Guest84001
Marius80on the other hand:  Will I need KDE 4.9 ?19:18
Marius80I feel comfortable with KDE 4.8.5 actually19:18
BluesKajthe levels of paranoia are becoming silly now19:18
Obsidian1723Marius80: only if you want or need the latest and greatest.19:18
Marius80KDE 4.9 will not change the shuffling problem, right?19:18
lordievaderMarius80: But in most cases it is safe, might be that a simple apt-get upgrade will work, but with dist-upgrade you upgrade all the packages.19:18
Obsidian1723BluesKaj: Not paranoid....experience.19:18
lordievaderMarius80: Euhh, no... It is still present here.19:18
BluesKajMarius80, Im , not into techno so iwouldn't know19:19
Marius80heh, I see19:19
BluesKajObsidian1723, maybe bad experience for yoy , but not for me19:19
BluesKajyou19:19
Marius80comming back to apt-get  vs aptitude19:20
Marius80I tried to install trinity-desktop  some days ago19:20
Marius80aptitude told me about broken dependencies19:20
Obsidian1723BluesKaj: not just for me, for many. Yes, there are those who don't have issues, but isthe risk worth it? Not in my opinion.19:20
Marius80I told the developers,  they thanked me and solve the problem now19:20
Marius80apt-get did not even know about the broken dependencies!!19:20
Marius80that was one more proof for me that aptitude ins more intelligent....19:21
Marius80even when it comes to removing installed software19:21
Obsidian1723lordievader: when you do a dist-upgrade, you are going to go to go from an LTS version to a non-LTS, if you're running 12.04.1LTS..19:21
lordievaderMarius80: Isn't aptitude a frontend for apt-get?19:22
lordievaderObsidian1723: Even without the backports?19:22
Marius80I use it in the shell19:22
Marius80aptitude might use apt-get,  but it solves dependencies much better19:22
Obsidian1723lordievader: correct.19:22
Marius80and when removing packages,  it is also much "better" since it reminds the dependencies19:23
Obsidian1723you can use snaptic as well, if you want a gui.19:23
lordievaderObsidian1723: That is surprising, why? Is that no longer the LTS?19:23
Obsidian172312.10 is a non-LTS19:23
Obsidian1723updates will keep the distro the same, upGRADES will not.19:23
lordievaderObsidian1723: I know... but a dist-upgrade doesnt go 12.04 -> 12.10... so why is it no longer LTS?19:24
lordievaderJust for clarity with dist-upgrade I am talking about the apt-get dist-upgrade.19:24
Obsidian1723lordievader: 12.10 isnt an LTS version.19:24
Obsidian1723I wrote back a bit ago on the differences between LTS and non LTS and why you really want to avoid non LTS if you want stability.19:25
lordievaderObsidian1723: Apt-get dist-upgrade will not upgrade you to 12.10.19:25
lordievaderObsidian1723: I think we have a misunderstanding.19:26
Obsidian1723what one am I thinking of then?>19:26
BluesKaj!dist-upgrade19:27
ubottuA dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention.19:27
lordievaderObsidian1723: Well what I think is you think that I mean with a dist-upgrade a upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10, however I am refering to the apt-get dist-upgrade. The second will not upgrade you to 12.10, just update packages more agressively.19:28
lordievaderObsidian1723: As I said earlier I can see why it is confusing.19:28
Obsidian1723gotcha...19:28
Marius80lordievader, the patch does not work19:28
BluesKajsudo do-release-upgrade if you want to upgrade to the next release19:28
Obsidian1723BluesKaj: thanks. THAT'S the one I was thinking of.19:29

BluesKajthat command should be rewritten , I agree it is confusing  because it used to upgrade to the next release19:29

Obsidian1723I'm a big fan of stabiloity19:31

sithlord48OpenSorce:  im not sure but the ati driver comes w/ a script that will do it when jockey wont, not sure if there is same for nvidia driver.21:57
OpenSorcesithlord48, I'm looking now21:57
OpenSorcesithlord48, btw I'm talking to you from a Comaq TC1000 with a Transmeta Crusoe chip :-P21:58
OpenSorce*Compaq21:58
sithlord48Kubuntu on it i hope :P21:59
OpenSorceNah, Kubuntu is too heavy... not  gonna tell you what I had to put on it to make it work21:59
BluesKajOpenSorce, do you have nvidia-xconfig ?22:00
sithlord48oh i mised the Pentium M part... ouch.. i recently made a Razbuntu install for my headless (server) box. worked nicely22:00
sithlord48that would be ubuntu-server with razor-qt for DE and Kde parts like dolphin.22:00
OpenSorceBluesKaj, yep tried that22:00

OpenSorceUbuntu 9.10 is the only distro that makes the stylus work right without lots and lots of coding22:02
sithlord48a good friend of mine has a tablet like that the wacom was a PITA to get working right..22:03
OpenSorcesithlord48, I know you don't I?22:03
sithlord48OpenSorce:  just from KFN22:03
BluesKajOpenSorce, also nvidia-current-updates is buggy , removing it should prevent future problems , just do a dist-upgrade more oftten22:04
sithlord48im just a penguin no one special .22:04
OpenSorceBluesKaj, probably a good idea... may just want to update to 12.10 getting rid of kdm sounds like reason enough22:05
sithlord48the lack of user icons in lightdm is annoying me22:05
sithlord48i like to see my tux when i log in .22:05
BluesKajOpenSorce, unless you are in workplace and need LTS support22:06
BluesKajanyway , gotta go ..later22:06
sithlord48later22:06
OpenSorceBluesKaj, thanks man22:07
OpenSorcesithlord48, Thanks for the input, think I'll try dist-upgrade and see if it fixes it22:08
sithlord48OpenSorce:  good luck22:08
sithlord48OpenSorce:  i would for sure remove the nvidia driver before doing that..22:08
OpenSorcesithlord48, With a doubt, yeah. Great talking to you :-)22:09
sithlord48OpenSorce:  happy to help22:10
