[01:03] hey guys. [01:22] 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? [01:33] csgeek, exact build error please [01:33] sure... give me a sec to flip between usb thumb drive + internet enabled machine === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:37] bjsnider: http://pastie.org/7677805 [01:38] i was about to try their latest from trunk/HEAD off github... unless you have some other suggestions [01:40] is there newer driver code? [01:40] is that driver already in the kernel? [01:41] no.. even in 12.10 I had to build it manually [01:41] the latest one I *believe* is: https://github.com/dvdhrm/rt8192cu [01:41] which still errors out.. [01:42] well, you might have to use an older kernel then [01:42] i would really recommend getting a nice usb wifi dongle that's well-supported [01:43] I think I have a newer kernel [01:43] yes but you can install an older one and remove the newer one [01:43] 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 [01:44] like a 3.5 kernel [01:44] oh.. can I? [01:44] yeah just go to launchpad and look for the linux-image package [01:45] you can grab one from quantal or earlier [01:46] okay. what a supported card that you know would work? any suggestions? [01:53] sweet.. booted into the older kernel and that seems to work for now [02:05] i knew of a good one at one point but i forgot === Fyodorovna is now known as wilee-nilee === Guest21823 is now known as Aww === smartboyhw_ is now known as smartboyhw [08:53] Good morning. [11:08] what's Unity's equivalent of alacarte? I'm not able to use alacarte to set --disk-cache-dir=/tmp for chromium-browser [11:10] MonkeyDust: you can copy a "*desktop" in /usr/share/applications to your home and edit the exec line [11:11] MonkeyDust: copy the edited file to ~/.local/share/applications, and maybe you need log out. [11:11] i'll try [11:13] MonkeyDust: the desktop file for chromium is "chromium-browser.desktop" :D [11:15] no .desktop file there [11:16] dpkg-query: no packages found matching chromiun-browser [11:16] shadeslayer: 1: dpkg -L chromium-browser | grep -i desktop: not found [11:17] MonkeyDust: run "dpkg -L chromium-browser | grep -i desktop" and you will see that *desktop file [11:21] Stanley00 ok, seems to have to done the trick, thanks [11:21] MonkeyDust: you are welcome ;) [12:16] Hello [12:17] I had a quick question for those using Xubuntu 13.04 beta [12:17] or anyone who has any experience with it [12:18] Any Xubuntu users in here? [12:18] Not too surprised, although I love it myself. Bye for now :) [12:19] Hello yesterday i told about kubuntu problem on 13.04 beta (black screen with kde plasma desktop) [12:20] finally I solved it. Thanks to BluesKaj for support [12:22] For everybody if you have similar problem i solved with the reinstallation of lightdm. Bye [15:03] Hey folks [15:03] Hey BK [15:13] <[diablo]> Good afternoon #ubuntu+! [15:13] <[diablo]> guys, am I missing something or has the RC missed it's target date? [15:19] as I read it the way it works has changed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReleaseCandidate [15:19] 'During the week leading up to the final release, the images produced are all considered release candidates' [15:20] <[diablo]> ah ok thanks penguin42 [15:20] (wth does that page render with the kubuntu.org theme for me?) [15:20] <[diablo]> the link u pasted me? [15:20] nod [15:21] <[diablo]> got the ubuntu theme here [15:22] hmm [15:25] Should ~/Downloads be setgid? [15:27] * penguin42 has never seen a ~/Downloads setgid [15:40] 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 [15:42] 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? [16:15] penguin42: I saw it on my 13.04 VM. ~/Downloads was setgid, and the user:group was odd, as well. [16:17] on my native 13.04 installs, nothing like that [16:17] 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 [16:18] 1012:src [16:18] prior to my changing it back to me:me [16:19] 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] that looks like an installer for something has gone nuts; have you deleted a user? [16:19] yes [16:20] so that looks like the dir was once owned by that user for some reason [16:20] I had created a couple extra users, and deleted them [16:20] (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) [16:21] I don't mess with the dodgy websites. But a bad package... that seems more plausible. However, I work to avoid that, as well. [16:22] I guess if places like Skype and Teamviewer go rogue... then I'm screwed :) [16:25] ...or the connection that delivers them to you [16:26] it seems like if that's the case.... distrust should be your stance, in every case [16:26] correct [16:26] even for stuff that you'd normally think reliable [16:26] like stuff from your own work repo [16:27] (OK, it's actually hard to live like that - but it is safest!) [16:27] i.e. *nothing* can be trusted [16:34] !release [16:34] 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 [16:44] maybe ubottu needs updated with new information :) [16:45] 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? [16:48] linuxtech, if you hold shirt at boot time you can get the menu and manually select 3.8 [16:48] menu.lst ? [16:48] linuxtech: you are running grub1 or grub2? [16:49] This is a VPS, linux-image-virtual 3.8.0.19.35 amd64 [16:49] linuxtech: ah. a vps gets the kernel from the host [16:49] so talk to your hoster about the kernel the can give you [16:49] grub version 0.97-29ubuntu66 grub-common 2.00-13ubuntu3 [16:51] This is a kvm provider, I didn't have these sorts of issues with xen at Prgmr. [16:52] OK, I'll google a bit more before contacting them. Thanks! [17:00] 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. [17:01] try each kernel to see if you can boot one [17:05] 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. [17:12] !13.04 [17:12] Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) will be the 18th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [17:17] 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] ammini: That wasn't directed at you [18:05] my LCD dont dims down while idling on battery mode, is this a known bug ?? [18:06] i have a thinkpad t430 [18:50] Hm, will the login be polished before the release the 25th? [18:51] It has this out-of-place bordered login box, not the styling I'm used to [18:52] bug reports are always welcome [18:52] I would be surprised if that hasn't been filed yet, it's not something that goes unnoticed :p [18:52] Where can I check? [18:56] Hm, 13.04 compiz no longer supports having a window stick to whatever workspace you're on? [20:29] It seems that libwagon2-java is broken. [20:32] I can't install maven, which has libwagon2-java as a dep. [20:42] min|dvir|us: bug 1171056 [20:42] bug 1171056 in wagon2 (Ubuntu) "2.2-3+nmu1 upgrade fails on conflict with libwagon-java" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1171056 [20:42] trism: thanks! [20:46] Where do I find the Kubuntu RC images? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/13.04 only has the older beta2. [20:54] The RC versions were supposed to be out 3 days ago, where are they? Or is something holding it up? [20:59] probably kubuntu does not do RC's [21:00] just use a daily [21:08] linuxtech: As jtaylor says Kubuntu doesn't do RC's, Beta 2 is the last one before the release. [21:26] 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 [22:10] 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? [22:12] it's unbelievable that in this release 13.04 they have forgotten to put hdmi output in alsamixer [22:15] helpmeplease: I notice bug 1169761 , might be related [22:15] bug 1169761 in linux (Ubuntu) "3.8.0-18 Kernel causes HDMI Audio to stop working" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1169761 [22:21] trism than what do u suggest me to do? To downgrade? [22:22] !downgrade [22:22] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [22:22] helpmeplease: only thing to do is to reinstall 12.10 if you really need to [22:23] ok Idleone otherwise do u think this bug will be solved soon? [22:25] I have no idea but I am assuming someone is working on it [22:26] ok Idleone I thank u otherwise I was becoming mad :) [22:26] testing beta requires a good grasp on your temper :) [22:27] 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 ? [23:14] 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. [23:15] do you get a root shell? [23:15] I'd now access the system with LiveCD/USB. But chroot isn't having the connection to uplink. [23:15] uplink? [23:15] jtaylor: If I boot off the HDD, it just goes till grub> [23:16] 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] you might have to copy resolvconf into it [23:17] have you bindmounted the special folders? [23:17] dev sys etc [23:17] well not etc, etc. :) [23:17] bind /run.. /etc/resolv.conf is now a symlink to /run [23:18] what I use: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [23:18] 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? [23:19] apt-get install -f; apt-get dist-upgrade [23:19] Ok. [23:19] hm why does my pastebinit not work [23:20] hm paste.ubuntu is broken? [23:21] wtf paste.debian too? [23:22] http://pastebin.com/fGU78UWj [23:23] < offline [23:31] Ok, I'd to run dpkg --configure -a === MistaMike|away is now known as MistaMike [23:43] hi, is anyone here running E17 (enlightenment) on raring? http://ppa.launchpad.net/efl has updated with support for raring but I can not seem to find an e17 package? [23:46] jmnoz: https://launchpad.net/~efl/+archive/trunk?field.series_filter=raring because there is no raring package for that [23:47] okay guess the maintainer hasn't gotten around to it yet then. [23:48] I can't remove grub.cfg file. ls -l /boot/grub/grub.cfg shows ???????? on all the attributes. [23:50] ammini: maybe rename instead? [23:50] remove is sort of dangerous [23:50] valorie: mv doesn't work as well. [23:51] !grub [23:51] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [23:51] the troubleshooting link is useful [23:51] valorie: I'm right there on those links :) [23:51] cool [23:51] valorie: I fail while I do update-grub [23:51] I was not happy to chroot, but it worked [23:52] I've teh chroot env ready and working [23:52] * valorie takes off for dinner, and wishes you the best of luck [23:52] Thanks.
