| arunkumar413 | how to install mir desktop | 04:41 |
|---|---|---|
| arunkumar413 | getting this error while installaing the mir desktop : http://pastebin.com/tVsEfvNU | 04:50 |
| wilee-nilee | the start of mir is there already | 04:50 |
| wilee-nilee | !mir | 04:50 |
| ubottu | Mir is the next-generation display server currently under development by Canonical and Ubuntu. It's slated for inclusion in Ubuntu 14.04. For more information on it, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mir/Spec . For code, see https://launchpad.net/mir | 04:50 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, run this command in the terminal and pastebin all the text grep -vr "^#" /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/} | 04:54 |
| arunkumar413 | wilee-nilee: http://pastebin.com/qjxfdgqC | 04:56 |
| arunkumar413 | wilee-nilee: r u there | 05:00 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, You added to much to that sources.list.d it should just be deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mir-team/system-compositor-testing/ubuntu saucy main | 05:01 |
| wilee-nilee | Heh gotta give the helper more than a minute and 1/2 to respond | 05:01 |
| wilee-nilee | You can just gksudo nautilus and navigate to that sources.list.d file and edit it and then run a update then try again. | 05:02 |
| wilee-nilee | gotta go start a wash be back in 10 | 05:02 |
| arunkumar413 | wilee-nilee: this is the content of the sources.list file: http://pastebin.com/3GvayRc4 | 05:06 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, In /etc/apt is a folder called sources.list.d that is where the mir text file is. notice in that command you ran first this. 19./etc/apt/sources.list.d | 05:18 |
| wilee-nilee | you just posted the regular sources.list there two types, additional repos are added to this other one | 05:18 |
| arunkumar413 | wilee-nilee: updating | 05:22 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, I would also in the sources.list open the deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu saucy partner repo by removing the # it has the restricted extras and other good things there. | 05:23 |
| wilee-nilee | Cool, the sources an be a bit confusing till you know. ;) | 05:24 |
| arunkumar413 | getting this error: sudo apt-get install mir-demos unity-system-compositor Reading package lists... Done E: Invalid record in the preferences file /etc/apt/preferences.d/50-pin-mir.pref, no Package header | 05:24 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, Can you paste bin what is in that text file in the sources.list.d folder and the commands leading to the error and all the text, in a pastebin. | 05:25 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, Did you run a update after the edit of that text? | 05:27 |
| arunkumar413 | wilee-nilee: yes | 05:27 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, I see no packages yet in that ppa, not sure you should be trying this anyway to be honest the mir thning is not even done. | 05:28 |
| wilee-nilee | supposed to be in 14.04 as of now it is partially in 13.10, but not a done deal. | 05:29 |
| arunkumar413 | wilee-nilee: i think it's installling now. | 05:40 |
| wilee-nilee | cool, strange that they do not list the packages is all | 05:41 |
| wilee-nilee | might be in another linked ppa, just a guess | 05:42 |
| arunkumar413 | wilee-nilee: done, with installing. how to be sure that it's installed correclty and launch mir | 05:47 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, No idea, there is a wiki on it in the PPA, I assume that is where you started from. | 05:51 |

| streulma | hello, is the daily of 31 Aug 2013 based on XMir ? I tried in Virtualbox and found X Server running | 11:47 |
| Daekdroom | streulma, Mir/XMir doesn't run by default in every hardware/driver combination (and VM is definitely one that it won't run under) | 11:56 |
| streulma | ok Daekdroom, I want to try Ubuntu 13.10 on my Macbook Pro Retina natively, with X Server the fonts are scaled and not good. I don't know how it is with Mir/XMir | 11:58 |
| ikonia | streulma: it's no different | 11:59 |
| ikonia | (or would be no different at this time) | 12:00 |
| Daekdroom | We're 2 days past the feature freeze. I don't think it'll change until the release. | 12:19 |
| Daekdroom | (meh, I just realized we got past the feature freeze and I have yet to test the development version) | 12:19 |
| penguin42 | streulma: There are quite a lot of font settings | 12:25 |
| streulma | penguin42: oh yes ? | 12:27 |
| penguin42 | streulma: I'd first check in the display settings that the resolution it's got is the full retina res | 12:29 |
| penguin42 | hmm - the font settings gui seems to have gone :-( | 12:29 |
| Daekdroom | Possibly has been for quite awhile. I don't remember it being in 13.04 either. | 12:32 |
| penguin42 | streulma: If you install 'unity-tweak-tool' ther eis a fonts tab on it that can change the font scaling factors, antialiasing, hinting and fonts - be careful you can probably make it much worse as well as better! | 12:36 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all again | 12:45 |
| PatrickDickey | Probably a silly question, but how stable is the Alpha 2 release? I mean, is it pretty close to beta quality, or still pretty much dogfood? | 15:20 |
| ikonia | PatrickDickey: hit and miss, until release, you've got to keep the intention of "may break" | 15:51 |
| PatrickDickey | ikonia: So, next week (according to the release schedule) is when Beta1 will be released? | 15:59 |
| ikonia | according to the schedule, yes | 16:00 |
| PatrickDickey | Thanks. I think I'll take the chance and install it. It's on my laptop, so I really won't be out much if it fails. | 16:01 |
| ikonia | that's the right attitude | 16:03 |
| PatrickDickey | Off hand, do you know if they made any changes to Rhythmbox and how it's handled? | 16:04 |
| ikonia | not that I'm aware of | 16:05 |
| jarope_ | hi running saucy but have a graphics issue | 16:29 |
| jarope_ | after running nvidia-settings I thinkit messed up my xorg? | 16:29 |
| jarope_ | i am on a laptop with optimus and overall it has been excellent on 13.10 | 16:30 |
| jarope_ | basically I had the low graphics mode box coming up and nothing would work from that point. I booted to root and reinstalled the nvidia common and now can login - BUT i just get a black screen. I can bring up a terminal and run apps from there. Hence beiong in xchat now | 16:31 |
| jarope_ | however the apps have no system borders or controls and I cannot tab between them. | 16:32 |
| jarope_ | is this xorg OR nvidia please? how can I reset to basic xorg conf as the xorg.conf file doesnt seem to be in the X11 file? | 16:33 |
| jarope_ | right tried an xorg reinstall | 16:35 |
| jarope_ | hi back a reinstall of xorg did not help | 16:44 |
| jarope_ | infact i can no longer login as myself | 16:44 |
| === streulma_ is now known as streulma | ||
| penguin42 | jarope_: ok, go back a step | 16:55 |
| penguin42 | jarope_: What did you install in what order, and what have you had working? | 16:55 |
| jarope_ | hi penguin42 | 17:08 |
| jarope_ | ok I have had everything working fantastic for weeks | 17:09 |
| jarope_ | THEN | 17:09 |
| jarope_ | I tried the nvidia-settings to see if any updates had moved the multi monitor situation forward | 17:09 |
| jarope_ | so nothing changed until I rebooted and was greeted with the "low graphic" mode bix | 17:10 |
| jarope_ | which wouldnt let me change the configs etc just see the log, which I couldnt see any obvious problems in | 17:10 |
| penguin42 | ok, so you're betting it's some nvidia setting that's unhappy | 17:10 |
| jarope_ | yep | 17:11 |
| * penguin42 hasn't run the closed nvidia drivers for a while | 17:11 | |
| jarope_ | now in the past I know you could go and remove the xorg.conf file and everything would sort itself out | 17:11 |
| jarope_ | but xorg.conf isnt in X11 | 17:11 |
| jarope_ | there is .backup and .failsafe | 17:12 |
| penguin42 | jarope_: Right so a normal Ubuntu install doesn't have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:12 |
| jarope_ | and as 13.10 is MIR | 17:12 |
| penguin42 | jarope_: X configs tend to go into /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | 17:12 |
| jarope_ | ok | 17:12 |
| penguin42 | hmm, I don't know anything about Mir | 17:12 |
| jarope_ | me neither and dont think it has anything to do with this | 17:13 |
| ali1234 | it doesn't | 17:13 |
| jarope_ | thanks for confirm ali1234 | 17:13 |
| ali1234 | nvidia stopped using xorg.conf a few versions ago | 17:13 |
| ali1234 | i don't know how you reset the config on new versions | 17:13 |
| ali1234 | probably by uninstalling the driver with jockey | 17:13 |
| jarope_ | well i tried a reinstall | 17:13 |
| jarope_ | apt-get install --reinstall | 17:14 |
| jarope_ | would there be anything in my home area that could be being called? .nvidia-? | 17:14 |
| jarope_ | or in .conf | 17:15 |
| ali1234 | no | 17:15 |
| jarope_ | ok | 17:15 |
| jarope_ | so jockey would be a good place to start | 17:15 |
| ali1234 | nvidia-settings saves settings in ~/.nvidia-settings | 17:16 |
| jarope_ | will try that if there are no other suggestions. Last time I had this I did a reinstall but have set up so much now I am loathed to do that again. I appreciate that it is dev so I am not complaining | 17:16 |
| ali1234 | but that can't affect the login screen | 17:16 |
| jarope_ | well I get the login screen now but after that nothing | 17:17 |
| jarope_ | ctl+alt+t works to bring up terminal | 17:17 |
| penguin42 | jarope_: What happens if you make yourself a new user or login as guest? | 17:17 |
| jarope_ | I am logged in as guest now | 17:17 |
| jarope_ | blank screen no unity | 17:17 |
| jarope_ | no system borders on aps | 17:17 |
| penguin42 | ok, so it's not just specific to one user | 17:18 |
| jarope_ | and they are all stacked one on top of the other so to open anything else I have to open new terminal . penguin42 no affecting all to different extents | 17:18 |
| jarope_ | for me no login just jumps out and back to login screen | 17:19 |
| penguin42 | yeh so I'd agree at trying to use jockey to remove the nvidia stuff and see what state you get to and then add it back | 17:20 |
| jarope_ | ok there was no jockey | 17:23 |
| penguin42 | no jockey-cli ? | 17:23 |
| jarope_ | gtk-jockey | 17:23 |
| jarope_ | oo didnt try jockey-cli | 17:23 |
| jarope_ | ok will be back | 17:23 |
| bazhang | !find jockey | 17:24 |
| ubottu | Found: jockey-common, jockey-gtk, jockey-kde | 17:24 |
| jarope_ | i'm putting gtk in wrong place | 17:25 |
| jarope_ | DOH | 17:25 |
| jarope_ | nope not there | 17:26 |
| jarope_ | anyway removed a nvidia file from my home area so gonna try login to that | 17:27 |
| jarope_ | thanks for help guys | 17:27 |

| koko0 | hi, ive upgraded to 13.10 and now cant switch keyboard layout with Alt + shift | 21:04 |
| koko0 | if i assign other weird shortcuts it works | 21:05 |
| koko0 | anyone can help me figure out why? | 21:05 |
| Fyodorovna | Koko0, make another user and see if it happens there. | 21:06 |
| koko0 | ok... | 21:06 |
| koko0 | btw new users leave garbage on the disk? | 21:06 |
| === Fyodorovna is now known as sporkeee | ||
| sporkeee | No | 21:07 |
| sporkeee | You said you upgraded this a fresh install? | 21:08 |
| koko0 | no fresh install | 21:13 |
| koko0 | from 13.04 | 21:14 |
| koko0 | on the new user its the same | 21:14 |
| koko0 | well its kind of weird, i can't assign Alt + Shift from the Region & language Window | 21:15 |
| koko0 | but from keyboard settings i can | 21:15 |
| koko0 | but it doesnt work... | 21:15 |
| sporkeee | Koko0, have you tried another keyboard or OS? | 21:34 |
| koko0 | one sec, i will try in vm | 21:36 |
| koko0 | working perfectly in an xp vm | 21:37 |
| sporkeee | I would download the daily and try it to get a clean look at it. | 21:40 |
| koko0 | well, cant do this...its still my main os | 21:41 |
| Daekdroom | ...? | 21:44 |
| Daekdroom | Oh. You mean you'd lose data? | 21:44 |
| koko0 | im afraid of daily builds | 21:45 |
| koko0 | cant lose this machine | 21:45 |
| Daekdroom | ... | 21:45 |
| Daekdroom | If you upgraded to 13.10 and is upgrading the packages constantly, you're using the same packages that are shipped within the daily build | 21:46 |
| Daekdroom | (although I can't guarantee that the daily installer works as good :P) | 21:46 |
| koko0 | well, if thats what u mean by daily so yes | 21:46 |
| koko0 | i thought u ment like compile it myself or something | 21:46 |
| Daekdroom | Nah. | 21:47 |
| Daekdroom | !daily | 21:47 |
| ubottu | Daily builds of the CD images of the current development version of Ubuntu are available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | 21:47 |
| koko0 | isnt it the same as apt-get update & upgrade?... | 21:48 |
| Daekdroom | dist-upgrade is needed sometimes, but yeah. | 21:48 |
| koko0 | so im on the daily build | 21:48 |
| === sporkeee is now known as wilee-nilee | ||
| koko0 | this is the ubuntu 13.10 irc channel? | 22:43 |
| penguin42 | yep | 22:43 |
| koko0 | well i was here with keybaord problem, and now tried with live cd | 22:44 |
| koko0 | same problem, not able to choose Alt Shift as a keyboard layout switcher | 22:44 |
