| csgeek | hey guys. | 01:03 |
|---|---|---|
| csgeek | I'm having some wifi issue with the latest Ubuntu release and I was wondering if anyone had some insight. Well, to be accurate it's issues with the realtec drivers rtl8192cu. under 12.10 I had to compile the drivers from source... which is fine. But with 13.04 It won't compile... seems to be some changes in the kernel headers maybe? | 01:22 |
| bjsnider | csgeek, exact build error please | 01:33 |
| csgeek | sure... give me a sec to flip between usb thumb drive + internet enabled machine | 01:33 |

| csgeek | bjsnider: http://pastie.org/7677805 | 01:37 |
| csgeek | i was about to try their latest from trunk/HEAD off github... unless you have some other suggestions | 01:38 |
| bjsnider | is there newer driver code? | 01:40 |
| bjsnider | is that driver already in the kernel? | 01:40 |
| csgeek | no.. even in 12.10 I had to build it manually | 01:41 |
| csgeek | the latest one I *believe* is: https://github.com/dvdhrm/rt8192cu | 01:41 |
| csgeek | which still errors out.. | 01:41 |
| bjsnider | well, you might have to use an older kernel then | 01:42 |
| bjsnider | i would really recommend getting a nice usb wifi dongle that's well-supported | 01:42 |
| csgeek | I think I have a newer kernel | 01:43 |
| bjsnider | yes but you can install an older one and remove the newer one | 01:43 |
| csgeek | well... this is a usb dongle.. but since my internal built one is giving me issues..and the usb one is doing the same... what would you recommend that IS recommended | 01:43 |
| bjsnider | like a 3.5 kernel | 01:44 |
| csgeek | oh.. can I? | 01:44 |
| bjsnider | yeah just go to launchpad and look for the linux-image package | 01:44 |
| bjsnider | you can grab one from quantal or earlier | 01:45 |
| csgeek | okay. what a supported card that you know would work? any suggestions? | 01:46 |
| csgeek | sweet.. booted into the older kernel and that seems to work for now | 01:53 |
| bjsnider | i knew of a good one at one point but i forgot | 02:05 |

| MonkeyDust | what's Unity's equivalent of alacarte? I'm not able to use alacarte to set --disk-cache-dir=/tmp for chromium-browser | 11:08 |
| Stanley00 | MonkeyDust: you can copy a "*desktop" in /usr/share/applications to your home and edit the exec line | 11:10 |
| Stanley00 | MonkeyDust: copy the edited file to ~/.local/share/applications, and maybe you need log out. | 11:11 |
| MonkeyDust | i'll try | 11:11 |
| Stanley00 | MonkeyDust: the desktop file for chromium is "chromium-browser.desktop" :D | 11:13 |
| MonkeyDust | no .desktop file there | 11:15 |
| Stanley00 | dpkg-query: no packages found matching chromiun-browser | 11:16 |
| Stanley00 | shadeslayer: 1: dpkg -L chromium-browser | grep -i desktop: not found | 11:16 |
| Stanley00 | MonkeyDust: run "dpkg -L chromium-browser | grep -i desktop" and you will see that *desktop file | 11:17 |
| MonkeyDust | Stanley00 ok, seems to have to done the trick, thanks | 11:21 |
| Stanley00 | MonkeyDust: you are welcome ;) | 11:21 |
| ua1 | Hello | 12:16 |
| ua1 | I had a quick question for those using Xubuntu 13.04 beta | 12:17 |
| ua1 | or anyone who has any experience with it | 12:17 |
| ua1 | Any Xubuntu users in here? | 12:18 |
| ua1 | Not too surprised, although I love it myself. Bye for now :) | 12:18 |
| admin_dav | Hello yesterday i told about kubuntu problem on 13.04 beta (black screen with kde plasma desktop) | 12:19 |
| admin_dav | finally I solved it. Thanks to BluesKaj for support | 12:20 |
| admin_dav | For everybody if you have similar problem i solved with the reinstallation of lightdm. Bye | 12:22 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 15:03 |
| penguin42 | Hey BK | 15:03 |
| [diablo] | Good afternoon #ubuntu+! | 15:13 |
| [diablo] | guys, am I missing something or has the RC missed it's target date? | 15:13 |
| penguin42 | as I read it the way it works has changed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReleaseCandidate | 15:19 |
| penguin42 | 'During the week leading up to the final release, the images produced are all considered release candidates' | 15:19 |
| [diablo] | ah ok thanks penguin42 | 15:20 |
| penguin42 | (wth does that page render with the kubuntu.org theme for me?) | 15:20 |
| [diablo] | the link u pasted me? | 15:20 |
| penguin42 | nod | 15:20 |
| [diablo] | got the ubuntu theme here | 15:21 |
| penguin42 | hmm | 15:22 |
| SuperLag | Should ~/Downloads be setgid? | 15:25 |
| * penguin42 has never seen a ~/Downloads setgid | 15:27 | |
| maxb | I can't think of a reason for that to make sense, unless the user was trying to do something unusual involving sharing the Downloads with other users on the system | 15:40 |
| michagogo | Is it safe to assume that on Thursday http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent and http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent will both go live at those URLs? Also, what time of day is the release planned for? | 15:42 |
| SuperLag | penguin42: I saw it on my 13.04 VM. ~/Downloads was setgid, and the user:group was odd, as well. | 16:15 |
| SuperLag | on my native 13.04 installs, nothing like that | 16:17 |
| penguin42 | I've not tried a fresh install for a while, so it's possible that it's on purpose - but odd; what are the user:group - I doubt it's the VMness | 16:17 |
| SuperLag | 1012:src | 16:18 |
| SuperLag | prior to my changing it back to me:me | 16:18 |
| SuperLag | and I don't think it was hacked, because there's no way to reach that box from outside... it uses a NAT type connection | 16:19 |
| penguin42 | that looks like an installer for something has gone nuts; have you deleted a user? | 16:19 |
| SuperLag | yes | 16:19 |
| penguin42 | so that looks like the dir was once owned by that user for some reason | 16:20 |
| SuperLag | I had created a couple extra users, and deleted them | 16:20 |
| penguin42 | (You don't need an inward connection to get hacked - e.g. installing a bad package or looking at a dodgy website that finds a way through will do it) | 16:20 |
| SuperLag | I don't mess with the dodgy websites. But a bad package... that seems more plausible. However, I work to avoid that, as well. | 16:21 |
| SuperLag | I guess if places like Skype and Teamviewer go rogue... then I'm screwed :) | 16:22 |
| penguin42 | ...or the connection that delivers them to you | 16:25 |
| SuperLag | it seems like if that's the case.... distrust should be your stance, in every case | 16:26 |
| penguin42 | correct | 16:26 |
| SuperLag | even for stuff that you'd normally think reliable | 16:26 |
| SuperLag | like stuff from your own work repo | 16:26 |
| penguin42 | (OK, it's actually hard to live like that - but it is safest!) | 16:27 |
| SuperLag | i.e. *nothing* can be trusted | 16:27 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 16:34 |
| samijam | maybe ubottu needs updated with new information :) | 16:44 |
| linuxtech | Welcome to Ubuntu 13.04 (GNU/Linux 3.5.0-17-generic x86_64) Umm, that shouldn't happen. menu.lst has Ubuntu 13.04, kernel 3.8.0-19-generic as the first entry. Any ideas whats wrong here? | 16:45 |
| bjsnider | linuxtech, if you hold shirt at boot time you can get the menu and manually select 3.8 | 16:48 |
| k1l | menu.lst ? | 16:48 |
| k1l | linuxtech: you are running grub1 or grub2? | 16:48 |
| linuxtech | This is a VPS, linux-image-virtual 3.8.0.19.35 amd64 | 16:49 |
| k1l | linuxtech: ah. a vps gets the kernel from the host | 16:49 |
| k1l | so talk to your hoster about the kernel the can give you | 16:49 |
| linuxtech | grub version 0.97-29ubuntu66 grub-common 2.00-13ubuntu3 | 16:49 |
| linuxtech | This is a kvm provider, I didn't have these sorts of issues with xen at Prgmr. | 16:51 |
| linuxtech | OK, I'll google a bit more before contacting them. Thanks! | 16:52 |
| ammini | Re-posting from #ubuntu as its a 13.04 issue. Yesterday the upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04B got interrupted in between due to power failure. What are possible remedial measures for me to complete that upgrade? When I boot my machine now, its coming to grub prompt. | 17:00 |
| bjsnider | try each kernel to see if you can boot one | 17:01 |
| ammini | bjsnider: I'm dropped for grub2 shell. The splashimages isn't reaching. I believe it can't see stage2 of grub2 | 17:05 |
| * ammini is new to grub2 as well. | 17:05 | |
| michagogo | !13.04 | 17:12 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) will be the 18th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 17:12 |
| ammini | michagogo: I believe I'm in the right place. Well, I'm trying to boot off of the LiveCD, then try some recovery. | 17:17 |
| michagogo | ammini: That wasn't directed at you | 17:17 |
| cebor | my LCD dont dims down while idling on battery mode, is this a known bug ?? | 18:05 |
| cebor | i have a thinkpad t430 | 18:06 |
| ThePendulum | Hm, will the login be polished before the release the 25th? | 18:50 |
| ThePendulum | It has this out-of-place bordered login box, not the styling I'm used to | 18:51 |
| bazhang | bug reports are always welcome | 18:52 |
| ThePendulum | I would be surprised if that hasn't been filed yet, it's not something that goes unnoticed :p | 18:52 |
| ThePendulum | Where can I check? | 18:52 |
| ThePendulum | Hm, 13.04 compiz no longer supports having a window stick to whatever workspace you're on? | 18:56 |

| linuxtech | Where do I find the Kubuntu RC images? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/13.04 only has the older beta2. | 20:46 |
| linuxtech | The RC versions were supposed to be out 3 days ago, where are they? Or is something holding it up? | 20:54 |
| jtaylor | probably kubuntu does not do RC's | 20:59 |
| jtaylor | just use a daily | 21:00 |
| lordievader | linuxtech: As jtaylor says Kubuntu doesn't do RC's, Beta 2 is the last one before the release. | 21:08 |
| dmatt | in my experience image from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/ fixed issues I had with beta2 instalation, so use the latest possible | 21:26 |
| helpmeplease | Hi everybody I am becoming mad, I put ubuntu 13 and no settings for hdmi output, could u please let me know what to do? | 22:10 |
| helpmeplease | it's unbelievable that in this release 13.04 they have forgotten to put hdmi output in alsamixer | 22:12 |

| ubottu | Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 22:22 |
| IdleOne | helpmeplease: only thing to do is to reinstall 12.10 if you really need to | 22:22 |
| helpmeplease | ok Idleone otherwise do u think this bug will be solved soon? | 22:23 |
| IdleOne | I have no idea but I am assuming someone is working on it | 22:25 |
| helpmeplease | ok Idleone I thank u otherwise I was becoming mad :) | 22:26 |

| Tex_Nick | 13.04 with gnome desktop ... when setting a new desktop "background/wallpaper" i don't see how to set the image to scale, tile, fill, etc ... as in 12.10 ... am I missing something or is it just not implemented yet ? | 22:27 |
| ammini | Yesterday the upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04B got interrupted in between due to power failure. What are possible remedial measures for me to complete that upgrade? When I boot my machine now, its coming to grub prompt. | 23:14 |
| jtaylor | do you get a root shell? | 23:15 |
| ammini | I'd now access the system with LiveCD/USB. But chroot isn't having the connection to uplink. | 23:15 |
| jtaylor | uplink? | 23:15 |
| ammini | jtaylor: If I boot off the HDD, it just goes till grub> | 23:15 |
| ammini | jtaylor: To internet. I was hoping to resume the upgrade process from the chroot environment, if I'd make the system connect to repos. | 23:16 |
| jtaylor | you might have to copy resolvconf into it | 23:16 |
| jtaylor | have you bindmounted the special folders? | 23:17 |
| jtaylor | dev sys etc | 23:17 |
| jtaylor | well not etc, etc. :) | 23:17 |
| psusi | bind /run.. /etc/resolv.conf is now a symlink to /run | 23:17 |
| jtaylor | what I use: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 23:18 |
| ammini | jtaylor: Yeah, I'm following that from one ofthe Ubuntu Wikis. Hoping that I make network active inside chroot, which command should I run to resume the previously interrupted upgrade? | 23:18 |
| jtaylor | apt-get install -f; apt-get dist-upgrade | 23:19 |
| ammini | Ok. | 23:19 |
| jtaylor | hm why does my pastebinit not work | 23:19 |
