jasoncwarner_thumper did it get uninstalled? like, partial update or someting?00:41
thumperunity is there00:41

thumperI get compiz started00:42
thumpercore initialises00:42
thumperthen it says "unity-panel-service: no process found"00:42
thumperthere is no unity-panel-service installed00:42
thumperthere should be00:42
thumper:)00:42
jasoncwarner_thumper: aye...seems you might have had a partial update. rickspencer3 had one of those yesterday (unrelated)...00:43
jasoncwarner_no bueno00:43
bschaeferthumper, is this your problem? https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/113067900:43
ubot2`Ubuntu bug 1130679 in Compiz "[2013/02/20] compiz/unity don't run, just loading cpp" [Critical,In progress]00:43
jasoncwarner_can you manually install it?00:43
thumperI'm not sure what package it is supposed to be00:43
bschaefer(if you did a dist-upgrade)00:43
thumperhi bschaefer00:43
bschaeferthumper, hello!00:43
thumperbschaefer: I had the same problem with quantal this morning00:43
thumperand I thought that upgrading to raring would fix it00:43
thumperbut no :(00:44
bschaeferthumper, o interesting, someone else was as well00:44
thumperI know that veebers had the issue on the testing laptop00:44
bschaeferChrisTownsend was00:44
jasoncwarner_bryceh in case you missed the above (I messaged bryce nick instead ;) ) - rickspencer3 just started to get a weird visual corruption on his desktop with his i945 device. Any reason he would be getting that?00:44
bschaeferthumper, hmm have you tried starting u-p-s manually?00:44
bschaeferthen starting unity00:45
thumperbschaefer: I can't, it isn't installed00:45
bschaeferthumper, really? very strange, is unity installed?00:45
thumperbschaefer: yes00:45
thumperbschaefer: which may be the reason there is a problem00:45
bschaeferthumper, hmm possibly a --reinstall could bring it back00:46
bschaeferas mine is here; /usr/lib/unity/unity-panel-service00:46
rickspencer3thumper, could you please log a bug00:46
thumperbschaefer: actually, I see the panel service there00:46
rickspencer3and I think there are log files from the update process that might help00:46
bschaefervery strange, as just doing a 'unity00:47
thumperbschaefer: why is it there and not /usr/bin??00:47
bschaefer ' should start it up00:47
* bschaefer has no clue00:47
rickspencer3thumper, have you been abusing this machine for development in your past as a Unity dev?00:47
rickspencer3like, what crazy PPAs are you running? ;)00:47
jasoncwarner_thumper: aye, file a bug and send my way...in the meantime, can you manually install it and get it running? (like will it allow you to install it?)00:48
thumperrickspencer3: none now, another benefit of upgrading00:48
thumperit seems I do have /usr/lib/unity/unity-panel-service00:48
thumperit is executable00:48
thumperbut not in the default path00:48
thumperrunning u-p-s manually didn't help unity start00:49
bschaeferright, which the 'unity' script should be starting that anyway hmm00:49
bschaeferthumper, you could try /usr/lib/unity/unity-panel-service; compiz --replace ccp&00:50
bschaeferthumper, because looking at the unity script it seems to kill u-p-s...00:50
thumperhahaha00:51
bschaeferand if it can't find it, then it'll just kill it...leaving you nothing00:51
* thumper sighs00:52
thumperit fails trying to load the ini backend00:52
thumperwith a programmer error00:52

jbichaseb128: it's a lot more than 5, Contacts, Empathy, Totem, Disks, Font Viewer, Screenshot, Archive Manager, Mahjongg, Mines, Sudoku, etc.14:24
seb128yeah, I guess with the split games and utils you can go up to 1514:27

seb128maybe we should just find applications to replace those with14:28
jbichaI'm sure it's even higher than 15 if you count universe14:28
