zoraelhow ready for daily use is raring's (kernel's) btrfs?00:08
* penguin42 hasn't used btrfs - imho it's not just hte kernel, it's the tools as well that you need to check are up to date00:12
MechanisMhello! I'm trying to upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 and having same issue as described here http://askubuntu.com/questions/222296/cant-upgrade-to-ubuntu-13-04-development-release02:58
BluesKajtried the 3.7 kernel on 12.10 ...no go , just a black screen , no responses from KB or mouse , so no tty ...had to reinstall the OS02:59
MechanisMwhen I'm running "update-manager -d" it shows new version, I"m clicking upgrade and it's closed. when trying do-release-upgrade it's showing me "No new release found"03:01
BluesKajMechanisM, the 13.04 release uses the 3,7 kernel , good li=uck with it ..your command for a development release is ," sudo do-release-upgrade -d "03:03

bekksfanys: Do you use aptitude?12:44
fanysno, just apt-get12:44
fanysshoud i try it?12:44
fanysshould*12:44
bekksNo :) aptitude has a brokenb multiarch handling afaik.12:44
fanysyeah :D12:44
fanysany idea?12:45
penguin42fanys: So what errors do you get when you do what?12:51
fanyseverything leads to libc6:i38612:52
penguin42so, install it12:52
fanysi can't - it depends on debconf:i38612:52
penguin42so, install it12:52
* penguin42 has libc6:i386 installed12:53
fanyscan't - it ends up in dep hell12:53
penguin42fanys: Can you use a pastebin to show the actual errors you're seeing12:53
fanysyes12:54
fanyshttp://pastebin.com/qwMjJU4A12:54
fanysit is in czech :/12:55
penguin42can you do the same thing proceeding it with a LANG=C please :-)12:55
fanysi'll try to12:55

* penguin42 guesses 'ale nebude se instalovat' is not going to be installed12:56
fanyshttp://pastebin.com/eQzvE9Rs12:58

BluesKajHowdy all14:02
penguin42Hey BK14:03
BluesKajhi penguin42, still no luck with the 3.7 kernel , even on 12.1014:05
penguin42BluesKaj: Interesting; what's the last thing you're seeing?14:18
BluesKajpenguin42, nothing, it wouldn't boot14:22
penguin42you just get a blackscreen?14:23
BluesKajyup. no cursor , no response to KB or mouse , so I had to reinstall , since I couldn't remove the kernel with the live cd or even update grub14:25
penguin42but grub lets you just choose the previous kernel, you don't need to reinstall for one bad kernel14:25
BluesKajthere was no grub menu period, there was no way of bringing it up14:26
penguin42you tried repeatedly banging the right shift straight after the bios?14:26
penguin42it normally isn't displayed at all14:27
BluesKajyup14:27
penguin42that's unusual14:27
BluesKajit is on this pc , i have other OS partitions14:27
penguin42yeh14:27
penguin42BluesKaj: I tend to edit /etc/default/grub to give me a second or two to prod it14:29
penguin42BluesKaj: If you set GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false  and increase GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT  then run grub-update   it should display a message and give you a few seconds14:30
BluesKajI tried to reinstall grub to the / on this partition using the live cd , but it couldn't find it14:31
penguin42if it's booting then you shouldn't need to rewrangle grub14:31
BluesKajyes I have the time out set to 10 secs14:31
BluesKajit 's fine now that i'm using the latest 3.5 kernel14:32
penguin42next time you feel like trying it, install the kernel then follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelBoot   to get it to give all the boot messages and then you have a chance of seeing what's up14:33
BluesKajpenguin42, it's no point , the kernel doesn't boot here, period14:35
BluesKajI'm very famliar with that boot proicedure , I've suggested to many ppl over the yrs14:36
penguin42BluesKaj: It's really really odd to get *nothing* out when booting a kernel though; I mean to stop after a few lines sure, but nothing is relaly odd14:42
penguin42BluesKaj: What CPU is in there?14:42
penguin42BluesKaj: I know someone else who has boot problems with the Ubuntu 3.7, but that's giving him some output and it's stopping at the calibrating TSC, that's on an early 64bit P414:44
BluesKajamd 6414:45
BluesKaj here14:45
gnomefreakubuntu 3.7?14:46
gnomefreakhi penguin42 BluesKaj14:46

gnomefreakpenguin42: cool thanks14:52
penguin42it's thinking14:53
gnomefreaki am too but i bet yours will be done first14:54
penguin42gnomefreak: Do you get that immediately, it's asking me if it's a purely graphical issue or not?14:54
gnomefreakpenguin42: it show the apport collecting than crashes. its not recording crash in /var/crash either14:54
gnomefreakpenguin42: i had that message once or twice but not normally14:55
gnomefreakand yes it is graphical14:55
=== Jikan is now known as Jikai
* gnomefreak wonders if i can get away with filing the bug under gnome than add unity to the bug than apport-collect14:56
penguin42gnomefreak: Are you in a non-english language?14:56
gnomefreakpenguin42: no14:56
gnomefreakpenguin42: i am english as a first language14:56
penguin42hmm, so it's got as far as firefox for me14:56
penguin42gah and then my X has died14:57
gnomefreakthats not good14:57
penguin42it's bug 1043513 which I've done a patch for14:57
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1043513 in xserver-xorg-video-cirrus (Ubuntu) "Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in memcpy() via cirRefreshArea() under KVM virtual machine" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104351314:57
penguin42gnomefreak: But it doesn't look like I've hit your bug14:57
gnomefreakpenguin42: thanks for testing. sorry about X14:58
penguin42gnomefreak: Hey it's only my VM, not a problem14:58
* gnomefreak goes for ssmoke and to think be back soon15:00
penguin42gnomefreak: The reason I mention the non-english is the error looks like a non-ascii type thing15:01
* gnomefreak looks15:08
gnomefreakpenguin42: from this "UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xed' in position 40: ordinal not in range(128)"15:08
penguin42yeh that's what made me think that15:09
gnomefreakif i had to guess i would say that is exactly why its crashing15:10
penguin42nod15:10
penguin42so if you're running in English (like me) where the heck is it getting the \xed from15:10
gnomefreaknot sure15:10
* penguin42 doesn't know Python, so can't really help much15:11
gnomefreaki know a little python but not enough to figure this out15:11
gnomefreakpenguin42: how hard is it to set-up/run a vm?15:12
penguin42gnomefreak: easy15:13
gnomefreakive been using Ubuntu since brezzy dev cycle and still havent tried a vm15:13
penguin42gnomefreak: There are a few choices, I use kvm, some use virtualbox15:13
penguin42I just use virt-manager to run it15:14
* gnomefreak goes in search of a wiki15:15
gnomefreakis kvm gui or cli?15:18
penguin42gnomefreak: kvm is the stuff at the back, virt-manager provides a gui15:19
IdleOneyou might try testdrive15:21
penguin42gnomefreak: http://www.treblig.org/pics/withkvm.png15:22
gnomefreakdoes it use the main $HOME or does it make its own?15:24
penguin42gnomefreak: It's a virtual machine, so it's got it's own disk image, it's all self contained15:25
gnomefreakgood15:25
penguin42gnomefreak: you can completely nuke the vm and not lose anything on the host15:26
gnomefreaktestdrive is the frontend for kvm?15:26
gnomefreaki hated chroot due to it using main home dir, and i lost alot a bunch of times for not shutting it down properly15:27
penguin42yeh chroot isn't really designed for trying new installs in - things are just too complex these days15:30
gnomefreaki was using chroot to test things and build packages15:31
gnomefreakok this wiki looks old https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation  anything more up-to-date with testdrive would be nice to but using search im not finding anything that looks helpful after the pre-install checklist15:32
penguin42gnomefreak: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/VirtManager   is virt-manager, I've not tried testdrive15:33
gnomefreakpenguin42: thanks that looks alot more helpful than all the ones i looked at15:34
yofelpenguin42: testdrive manages testing of ubuntu (and flavour) daily images. You can sync the images and run them in a VM with it16:18
penguin42yofel: Yeh, just never used it16:19
yofelit's nice for quick tests. For the actual install tests I run kvm by hand too16:20
gnomefreaki have to wait until my brain gets back from vacation before i can try it16:21
IdleOneif your brain has any brains it won't come back from vacation16:24
IdleOne:)16:24
gnomefreaklol16:25
penguin42yofel: Hmm screen lock in k+1 is annoying me18:00
yofelwhat's wrong with it?18:00
penguin42hmm18:00
penguin42yofel: When you've got the unlock screen up there doesn't seem to be anyway to get it to go away and relock (I've filed a bug on that) and also sometimes it doesn't seem to want to take my password until I explicitly click in the entry18:01
yofelI didn't really notice the first point, but yeah, the password field focus isn't really reliable yet18:02
penguin42yofel: I notice the 1st one because my computer is next to me and when I'm trying to watch TV in hte dark I like it to be black screen18:03
penguin42yofel: That's kde bug 31111618:05

Guest77324hello, I'm on nautilus 3.6.3 and when selecting "connect to server", I'm entering url like sftp://root@hostname/ but its sends me to user home dir sftp://root@hostname/root so I can't move to filesystem root. how to solve this?18:26
Guest77324in previous versions of nautolus I was able to move over all directories when I'm connected as root18:27
bekksusing nautilus as root is a bad habbit.18:29
Guest77324bekks: I'm connecting to server via sftp as root, nautilus running not as root18:30
bekkssftp as root doesnt make things better ;)18:31
bekksI'd use a SFTP capable FTP-client, instead of nautilus.18:31
Guest77324I love mounting folders18:32
Guest77324and add to favourites18:32
trismGuest77324: can't you just ctrl+L and navigate to /? (or anywhere else)18:33
Guest77324yes I can, but I never used this when was using old nautilus in ubuntu 12.0418:34
trismGuest77324: I see what you mean, though the bookmarks seem to work, might just be a new design decision18:42
Guest77324I know it's sends me to root home dir, so I'll go in / and will add this to bookmarks.18:43
trismGuest77324: as in, I bookmarked / after connecting to the server and it let me auto connect back to / later (didn't bring me to the home directory)18:43
Guest77324After today upgrade from 12.10, some bookmarks lost18:43
trismoh I hadn't upgraded yet, let me look18:44
Guest77324trism: yes, same did I18:44
Guest77324I mean in old nautilus, when I connected as root, I'm jumped to /root folder, but I'm at least have seen / in breadcrumbs. now if I'm connected in new nautilus, it's showing me root as start of crumbs.18:46
Guest77324so I was confused. ctrl +L helped me.18:46
trismGuest77324: oh I see, well it doesn't look like we have any theming done for nautilus yet, so the breadcrumbs may be easier to see once it is themed for ambiance18:47
Guest77324themed nice. I mean there wasn't any option to go somwhere prior root folder(in crumbs)18:49
trismGuest77324: yeah I just noticed that when I looked again, sorry, I thought there would be a little arrow next to it18:51
trismGuest77324: might be worth filing a bug about that if there isn't one already18:51
Guest77324yes, yes18:51
Guest77324sorry it's my bad english. I'm badly explained the probles, but you understand me.18:52
Guest77324problem*18:52
Guest77324ohhh.. I'm unable to create file in nautilus 3.6.3!!18:55
Guest77324there's no any option in context menu18:55
Guest77324I see option for folder, but no for file18:55
bjsniderGuest77324, this has been addressed18:57
bjsniderin your home/Templates folder create an empty file called whatever you want18:58
bjsniderthen you will see the option in the context menu18:58
Guest77324ok, thanx18:58
Guest77324lol, i've used "touch ~/Templates/empty_file", coz I'm was unable to create file yet.19:02
trismGuest77324: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683353 seems related too (comment 6 definitely)19:21
