steve1I installed ubuntu 13.04 beta (amd64) with LVM + whole-disk-encryption.  I'd like to create an LVM snapshot before I mess with some drivers, but I don't know how to do the snapshot.  the articles I've seen either use dm-snapshot or snapshot-merge (which is not in my kernel).  any suggestions?04:58
valoriesteve1: this might be a crazy idea, but dd ?05:00
steve1valorie: yeah, that's one way I suppose.  I was hoping to do it through LVM since that's one of the perks of LVM (right?).05:04
valorieI have no experience with LVM05:05
valorielet's see if ubottu does05:05

Guest57501hello10:51
Guest57501suppose i have my own repository and i want to ask the ubuntu powers/team to include the repo as a possible extension10:51
k1l_Guest57501: you mean you have a PPA and want that to be stock ubuntu?11:00
Touhou11If you are compiling software you would like to appear in the official repositories, your best route is to provide it to Debian first then it will be pulled in automatically11:01
Touhou11Afaik the only software which gets added to custom official repositories is proprietary :S11:02
Guest57501k1l_: not in isos... i 'd like my packages to appear in synaptic by default, without having the user to add my repo to soruces11:03
Guest57501*sources.list11:03
k1l_what sort of repo is it and what programs is in there?11:03

jmnozhello. Found myself unable to login via lightdm today. Turns out I had broken the syntax of my ~/.profile. The only way I could find this was to log in via console and check ~/.xsession-errors. I wonder if this could be made better somehow. Like graphical error reporting lightdm or better error handling.12:30

BluesKajderbarb, "Canonical does not provide updates for gwibber. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community." That's aquote from the package manager and frankly I have no experience with gwibber.13:25

awcI just installed today's updates, and it seems to have broken unity or compiz. The status bar at the top of the desktop and the dash/home bar on the left side of my screen are missing. running compiz --replace in the terminal does nothing. What is the command to restart unity via terminal (typing "unity" tells me that I don't have it installed....)13:35

derbarbim trying to use duplicity from the cli to backup my computer, but it;s asking me for a gnupg passphrase, can someone tell me what this is?14:04
derbarbawc: have you tried unity --replace?14:04
awcderbarb, unity is the neame of a different package14:04
awcname*14:05
awcIf I run that command it tells me that unity is not installed14:05
derbarbtry installing unity14:05
awcderbarb, installing unity doesn't seem to have helped. I installed, then ran it, and all the bars at the top of the windows dissapeared, and I was no longer able to type in xchat.14:09
awcafter restarting the computer, the issue remains14:09
derbarbdid you try pressing alt-f2 and running unity --replace14:10
derbarb?14:10
awcalt f2 doesn't do anything14:10
derbarbcan you ru it from the terminal? unity --replace &14:11
BluesKajawc, alt+f2 , type console then run unity --replace in the terminal14:12
awcderbarb, I get an error that says that another window manager is already running on core 0, then I can't do anything and have to restart my computer14:14
snuggldid something upgrade at the graphics side?14:15
snugglwhole unity runs at 3 fps today14:15
awcsnuggl, yours is working?14:16
snuggland also the login screen never goes away, it stays as a desktop background14:16
snugglno not really14:16
snugglit locks down the computer14:16
awcI get a desktop background, but I don't have unity14:16
awcI have to use the terminal to start all my programs...14:16
snugglhad to reboot to windows to get some work done, that wasnt plesant14:16
snuggli couldnt start apps at all14:17
awcI wonder what is different between our installs...14:17
derbarbanyone know why im getting this error when i try to use deja dup to back up to ubuntu one? Access failed: Ubuntu One credentials incorrect14:17
awcdeja dup? maybe it can't access the unity one account?14:18
snugglthe obvious answer is that you typed the wrong credentials =)14:18
snugglbut if that isnt the case i have no idea14:18
derbarbit never asked me for credentials.14:18
awcI think the idea is that with unity one you don't need to use deja dup, it will just mirror the folders you choose14:19
stefan099hi ihave 13.04 and after installation i have no touchpadmouse and no usbmouse only keyboard works?14:22
snuggl13.04 is quite broken atm14:22
stefan099but on the usbstick before installation all works14:23
BluesKajsnuggl, that's a sweeping satatement that's not true for all who use 13.0414:23
awcBluesKaj mybe you could help us then?14:24
BluesKajawc, I tried but I don't use unity/gnome14:25
awcahh, well thanks :)14:26
snugglBluesKaj: everyone here has problems with unity after the weekend14:26
snugglits obviously something that changed for the worse14:26
BluesKajcompiz seems to be your problem ,but that's as much as I'll guess14:26
snugglBluesKaj: if you arent even using the items that are broken thenit does not apply to you, correct14:27
snugglyes, compiz is a part of ubuntu now.14:27
BluesKajsnuggl, Imight be using some , but you haven't mentioned any14:27

awcBluesKaj running 313 on my GTX 46015:00

BluesKaj313 is barely out of the experimental stage15:01
awcwell then... maybe that is my issue. Do you know the terminal coomands to use xorg or 310?15:02
* BluesKaj wonders if unity is ready for 31315:02
awcperhaps not?15:02
awcthis is what my desktop looks like: http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww158/awc_/Screenshotfrom2013-04-22105834_zpscbeb30c6.png?t=136664291515:03
BluesKajawc, sudo apt-get install nvidia-310 , this will remove 313 nd install 310 , then reboot15:04
atrusseems my user needs to be added to the "video" group to get 3d acceleration now. interesting.15:05
atrusmuch better now anywoys.15:05
awcthanks BluesKaj !15:06
awcBluesKaj no change :(15:11
BluesKajawc, sorry forgot to mention , sudo nvidia-xconfig15:13

bjsniderwait, wait15:22
bjsniderhow stupid of me15:22
awcso i should revert to the basic video driver?15:22
bjsniderit's probably just syncing to vblank15:23
bjsnideryou're getting about 60 fps?15:23
awcyeah15:23
bjsniderright, so it's fine15:23
awcok15:24
bjsnideropengl is set to sync to vblank is all, but i think your setup is fine, and if it seems slow, it's not an nvidia driver issue15:24
awcmy computer doesn't feel slow, I'm just missing the menu bars15:24
BluesKajyeah "Running synchronized to the vertical refresh". that's the default in nvidia15:24
bjsnidera couple of people in here the past couple of days have said a recent update slowed things down15:24
awcthis is a screenshot of my desktop: http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww158/awc_/Screenshotfrom2013-04-22105834_zpscbeb30c6.png?t=136664291515:25
bjsnideri thought i read above you were talking about slowness moving windows and whatnot15:26
awcno, that was someone else15:26
bjsnideryou can check the file .xsession-errors for possible causes of unity issues like you have15:27
awcsure, where can I find it?15:27
bjsnider~/.xsession-errors15:27

awcBluesKaj oops lol15:55
snugglBluesKaj: im not using ubuntu at all, but i can still complain that a major part of the distribution isnt working15:59

snuggltry nuking your settings16:00
awcterminal command to do that?16:00
awcI would like to wipe my user settings, how can I do that via the terminal?16:04
snugglprobably some .unity directory or similar16:05
awcmeh, time for a fresh install i think16:07
BluesKajgnome was ok ,definitelynot my cuppa tea, but unity convinced me to stick with kde16:09

StFSHi. I just installed ubuntu 13.04 on a second HDD but I can't boot it. At first I just got the GRUB prompt but then I managed to boot into my old setup (on my first hdd) and ran grub-install and now I'm getting some message about it not finding the HDD with that entry (and gives the UUID for the second hdd). Anyone have a clue?21:37
StFSsorry... I ran update-grub221:37
wilee-nileeStFS, have you had the installed HD as first read in the bios, soundss like the bootloader was put where do you know?21:38
StFSwilee-nilee: well that was one thing that struck me as weird as well. I remember the installer asking me where I wanted to install the bootloader but this time it didn't, so I had no say in where it got put.21:39
wilee-nileeStFS, Easiest way to see what is up is with this app and the bootinfo summary being rub, post the url of it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair21:40
wilee-nileerun*21:40
StFSwilee-nilee: I'm going to try to figure out if I can tell the bios to boot from the second hdd. Gotta switch computers then.21:40
Jordan_UStFS: Also, what is the exact grub-install command you ran?21:40
StFSwilee-nilee: yeah, I did run that and asked it to repair... that's how I got out of my first pickle (when I got booted into the GRUB prompt)21:41
wilee-nileeJordan_U, You get that steam engine MS installed. ;)21:41
wilee-nileethat was funny21:42
StFSJordan_U: sorry, I ran update-grub2... I never ran install-grub21:42
wilee-nileeStFS, Did you save the url generated for the bootinfo? also Jordan_U Is a awesome helper here.21:42
StFShmm... there was a url? sorry didn't even notice that...21:43
Jordan_UStFS: update-grub only re-writes /boot/grub/grub.cfg, it doesn't install grub or touch any other files.21:43
StFSok21:43
StFSwell.. I can see that it finds my 13.04 installation... and it adds it to the boot list... but when I select it it says that it has the wrong UUID for the disk21:44
StFS"Found Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch) (13.04) on /dev/sdb1"21:44
StFSthis is the last line from update-grub221:44
wilee-nileeStFS, You in the sda HD now in the original ubuntu?21:45
wilee-nileenow21:45
StFSyou mean am I logged in now? then yes... going to reboot now (but my IRC is on a different server so won't miss a thing here)21:46
wilee-nileeStFS, If you are in the original ubuntu you can reload the bootloader to the mbr, sounds like the raring was put in the sda mbr21:47
wilee-nileetheoretical separate HD's and grub in a mbr should work, but at times does not21:48
wilee-nileetheoretically*21:49
StFSwft... I'm looking at the bios and I can't find the second HDD... except it says "This SATA port is disabled because the system has been configured for ATA Mode"21:52
StFSfor one of the SATA ports21:52
StFSI must assume that this is my second hdd21:52
wilee-nileeStFS, The second drive a slave?21:52
StFSyou mean the jumpers on it? no... it's an ssd, there are no jumpers21:55
wilee-nileeStFS, Is the bios set for sata?21:57
StFSno... it seems to be set for ata but I can't change it21:57
wilee-nileeStFS, Not sure then a more knowledgeable helper is needed.21:58
StFSthanks for trying anyways :)22:03

wilee-nileeStFS, With a look on the web I see references to passwords and ATA, the bios can have a password I believe as well you might look around in there for that, and the web.22:40
