magn3tsSo, say I just installed raring on a Macbook Air... How do I ensure I don't melt my laptop?07:12
magn3ts12.10 required manual fan control and the ppa isnt available...07:12
bazhangwait for the release, and contact the PPA maintainer about getting a raring version, I suppose07:14
magn3tsCan I test if it will work automatically without just revving it up?07:15

SuperMatthullo hullo12:01
SuperMattI've just had an issue with byobu in raring... /usr/sbin/lightdm-session: 59: /usr/bin/byobu-launch: Syntax error: "fi" unexpected (expecting "then")12:04
SuperMattthat was stopping me from logging in to unity/gnome-shell etc12:04
Fuzzleswhat do you guys think to ubuntu 13.04?14:05
ChristosI have a strange issue. Grub2 is not showed at all on boot with ubuntu 13.04. To tell the truth i see nothing other than a pink screen before my desktop. (no splash screen at all).14:25
jpdsChristos: Tried holding down shift after the BIOS?14:28
ChristosLet me give that a try ;)14:28
ChristosI will report back in a sec14:28
christosThank you for the tip with Shift it works. Now i have an other issue. I get this error while trying to install latest drivers14:39
christosfglrx installation requires that the system have kernel headers.  /lib/modules/3.8.0-5-generic/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system.14:39
christosLatest kernel headers are installed. But version.h is missing14:39

krosonHello, is raring ringtail going to come with a new version of xserver?16:14
smallfoot-I have a broken dependency on python3-pyatspi2, anyone else have that too?16:48
smallfoot-nvm, i think synaptic fixed that16:48
christosHello i would like some help with the installation of radeon proprietary drivers (fglrx) 13.2. The installer complains about missing kernel headers (which i have installed) and also for missing version.h (which is missing and i have no idea why.)17:05
ironhalikdid you instell the propr package for your kernel?17:06
christosi believe that everything is correct17:06
ironhaliklinux-headers-3.8.0-5-generic?17:07
christoslinux-headers-3.8.0-5-generic Yes17:07
christosi am using kernel 3.8.0-5-generic (of course).17:07
ironhalikI had similiar problem with virtualbox-dkms, and installed the wrong package17:08
christos:) Well thats why it seems strange to me and this problem exists on every linux distro17:08
christosi previously had 3.8.0-4-generic. (When i update my kernel the installer almost always complains about missing kernel headers.17:09
ironhalikare you sure you're using the latest kernel? As it turns out, I'm booting into rc5, according to uname -a17:10
ironhalik:>17:10
christosthat is the output of uname -a                          Linux chris-GA-VM900M 3.8.0-5-generic #10-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 7 18:00:50 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux17:11
christosi am searching google for alot of time with no results17:11
christosMy main problems are gaming and that ubuntu fails to boot many times with pre-installed drivers.17:12
christosln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-5-generic/include/generated/uapi/linux /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-5-generic/include/linux/version.h17:19

magn3tsAny tips on getting UEFI booting working on a Macbook Air?17:33
magn3tsIt boots off the NON +mac.iso fine  but the installer doesn't seem to setup grub properly.17:33
magn3tsI'm hopeful that this can be done without using BootCamp/BIOS boot but I'm a bit out of my depth.17:34
christosI know that this is offtopic... But why would you like to install ubuntu on a mac XD?17:37
magn3tsBecause I don't like OS X.17:41
magn3tsUbuntu 13.04 works spectacularly on it. Aside from the non EFI boot.17:41
magn3tsAnd the 3.8 latest RC kernel broke Thunderbolt hotplugging but I seem to be the only person on the whole internet that even noticed that thunderbolt pci support was added.... so ;P17:42
magn3tsThe MBA is just fantastic hardware. If the Carbon X1 from Thinkpad adds a better screen I'll consider switching, but until then it's better than almost anything else I've seen or used.17:42
christosWell as i have heard mac has more games and is more user-friendly. Also arent apple's laptops and phones WAY TOO EXPENSIVE because of Ios and for many things with i infront of their name :)?17:43
magn3tsThe MBA has a bit of a premium yes, but honestly, it's worth it when I don't ruin my computer every year and a half from tripping on the power cable and pulling it off the table.17:43
magn3tsI personally don't think OS X is that much more user friendly. As a developer it pisses me off constantly--- not respecting my env vars, having an outdated, signed version of GDB, no proper package manager, no Wayland, etc17:44
magn3tsanyway, I gotta run. I hope to debug EFI and Thunderbolt hotplug when I get back if anyone is interested in throwing me any debug pointers!17:44
christosWell if you are a dev then you can probably should use linux..17:44
christosWell i know that this isnt the right place to ask but :)... You said you are a developer. So that means you went at college (or whatever) and studied this thing? Is it what you do for living?17:49
christosBecause i really have a dilemma  If i should choose that as a carrier :P17:49
ironhalikif you like IT stuff, then sure, there's cash in it17:55
christosIT?17:55
ironhalikiformation technology17:56
ironhalikjust don't go into it, if you _don't_ like it - there were a lot of people who went into CS because they heard money is good17:56
ironhalikthen there was 80% failure rate at programming 10117:57
ironhalikbut if you're running unstable ubuntu by choice, then you're probably ahead of those 80% ;>17:58
christos:) Lol thanks ;)17:58
ironhalikalso, calculus17:58
christosWell thanks for the info.17:59
christosComputers are what i like the most.(and english included.)17:59
christosSo i believe on of these is what i am going to do in future,18:00
christosone*18:00
ironhalikremember about the math. There's ton of math, calculus, algebra, probability etc18:01
christosWell if i understood correctly probability and calculus (log?) is what i am studing this year at school18:02
christos(Calculus is log and ln and such?)18:02
ironhalikyup18:02
ironhalikand more, much more ;>18:02
christosThese are easy i did them the year before :P18:02
christosIn greece you study at 16 years old :P18:03
christosyou study these*18:03
ironhalikwell then, good luck :>18:05
christosThank you ;)...18:05
blaamannI tried split view in Nautilus. Does not work :-(19:06
magn3tsAlso, yeah, I went to school for programming but I taught myself most of it. Ironically I'm going to be working for MS in a few months time.19:17
AlecTaylorhi19:21
AlecTaylorShould we expect many changes between the kernel freeze tomorrow and the second alpha on the 14th?19:23
* AlecTaylor wants to upgrade from 12.0419:24
hggdhAlecTaylor: they are cummulative -- if you have Raring installed and are doing dist-upgrades, there is no difference. If you download today's image and dist-upgrade, you will have whatever packages there will be next week19:27
AlecTaylorhggdh: But are we talking (estimate if you will) a large download for the alpha 2?19:28
AlecTaylor(doing the upgrade between now and one week from now)19:29
hggdhAlecTaylor: there *might* be some updates, volume unknown (I dist-upgrade every day; the last few days we have had a lot of updates)19:30
hggdhAlecTaylor: remember this is in flux... but, by now, *most* of the updates for next week should already be in. At least as far as KDE is concerned, we just moved to 4.10.19:31
hggdhof course, barring a major bug in some basic dependency, requiring an ABI bump & rebuild of all dependencies...19:32
AlecTaylorhggdh: kk, will wait 3-4 days then upgrade20:06
AlecTaylorThanks20:06
hggdhwelcome20:07
