[03:49] hey guys, wondering if anyone can help, i've recently upgraded to saucy and my unity search has stopped working, i think it may be the cause of some of the plugins have been uninstalled/disabled but i'm not sure -> http://i.imgur.com/cWBRFpX.jpg [03:50] SomeoneWeird, Make a list of what you have removed, if you can. [03:51] bleh, don't think I can, it happened over a week ago i've just been lazy about trying to fix it [03:51] SomeoneWeird, You could make another account, just to compare. [03:52] hm? you don't mean what packages have I removed? [03:52] SomeoneWeird, there are unity resets for 13.04 you might try that. [03:52] yeah [03:52] NO to see if it happens there as well. [03:52] ahh, right [03:52] sec, will do [03:53] lmao I think i've really screwed something up [03:53] tried to login to new user and it just crashes back to login screne [03:53] *screen [03:56] yes it seems so, o clones or images of the correct runnig setup? [03:56] no* [03:56] unfortunately not [03:57] everything is alright for this account (apart from search not working) at the moment so I might make a backup and just leave it [03:57] probably not worth the trouble fixing [03:57] (which is probably going to end up being a reinstall) [03:57] clone the install before you tweak it. [03:58] hrm, i just realized the upgrade i did (about 30 minutes ago) now makes my touchpad scroll not work too... [03:58] bleh [03:59] I never upgrade myself [03:59] starting to see why people don't [03:59] this command should reinstall all the stuff you removed: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ [03:59] the ^ is important [04:00] of course, this is +1 so it might just make everything worse [04:00] you can make package install lists save the sources if any extra and their keys and do it much faster [04:00] that is quite possible [04:00] it seems i'm missing a lot of unity-scope-* packages [04:00] what's the ^ do? [04:01] it means ubuntu-desktop is a package group, not a single package [04:01] or something like that [04:01] ah cool [04:01] ok gunna reboot, if i'm not back in a couple minutes then something else has broken ಠ_ಠ [04:05] That command will show a list of whats new to be installed, in other words the missing, good idea. ;) [04:06] hrm [04:06] ok well running that command make things better at least [04:06] the "social network" icon now comes up in the search [04:06] but nothing else [04:07] http://i.imgur.com/gOkZSHY.jpg [04:09] !imagebin | SomeoneWeird that is unreadable [04:09] SomeoneWeird that is unreadable: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [04:10] eh? [04:10] why is it unreadable? [04:10] E: Unable to locate package unity-place-applications [04:10] hrm [04:10] that could be a problem [04:10] the image try a look here. http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/08/reset-unity-and-compiz-in-ubuntu-13-10/ [04:12] same as the 12.10 and 13.04 reset. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/how-to-reset-unity-compiz-in-ubuntu-12-10-and-13-04 [04:13] nup [04:13] --reset-icons replaced the default icons, still nothing more in search though [04:17] SomeoneWeird, That reset needs a reboot or logout I think, at least the earlier ones did. [04:20] wilee-nilee, i did :) [04:20] (rebooted) [04:20] I have a feeling maybe a lens package is corrupt [04:20] gunna purge + reinstall all of them [04:30] hm, nup [04:31] think i've given up [10:35] is MIR now installed by default in 13.10? or is the current iso still only using X11?

[14:39] Hello any one in here knows how to fix the problem that there is no usb keyboard regonized on entering luks password? [14:40] coz since kernel 3.8 + till 3.11 i have no keyboard anymore to enter luks password with 3.8 all work well === txwikinger2 is now known as txwikinger [16:52] can some one plz point me to infos about the bug reporting prozess? [16:52] !bug [16:52] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [16:53] the kernel is a package too? shall i simply write the name of the kernel img? [16:53] hmmm or hmm maybe some one is needed to define that better [16:54] after upgrading the kernel not all moduls get loaded as needed befor luks gets loaded [16:54] what package is that? [16:54] to report a kernel bug it's ubuntu-bug linux [16:54] oh [16:54] Frank81: Hmm so all the modules are there they just aren't being added to the initramfs? [16:54] penguin42: i am right that it is a kernel bug when after upgrading kernel not all needed moduls get loaded anymore? [16:55] Frank81: Hmm that probably depends why they don't get loaded [16:55] penguin42: it looks like that yes [16:55] i upgraded one machine with luks and lvm encrypted the usb keyboard don't gets regonized so i can't enter luks password [16:56] Frank81: If the modules are broken and won't load then that's definitely a kernel bug, if there is a bug in the thing that makes the initramfs not knowing to load the modules then that might be in the initramfs packages [16:56] when i boot old kernel 3.8 all works this applys to all kernels after 3.8 till 3.11 [16:56] Frank81: Do you know that's a problem with modules not getting loaded? [16:57] i am not a mega linux geek only some advanced user and i can't simply expect any other fail [16:57] Frank81: OK, file it against linux because it works with older kernels but not newer [16:57] since it works with 3.8 and i googled this happend to many other distros befor and always it was that hid and usb don't got loaded [16:57] Frank81: can you get it to work with a non-USB keyboard? What hardware is this on? [16:58] i have no ps/2 keyboard here and no adapter at present its a normal home pc with a asus mainboard and a AMD CPU i don't know exact chipset at present [16:58] but normal pc system 8gb ram all standart [16:59] ok, so you don't actually know it's to do with USB keyboards [16:59] it might be broken on your machine with all keyboards [17:00] thats right but i don't think so since it happend on other distros too i googled the whole day [17:00] penguin42 how would you track or debug that? simply getting a other keyboard? or any other alternate? [17:00] Frank81: Report the bug first [17:01] Frank81: I'd try and narrow it down; eg if it's only USB keyboards then you can say it must be something wrong with USB stuff, but if it also fails with a PS/2 then it's probably something else [17:01] i can't report the bug it complains about the old kernel [17:01] [17:02] Frank81: Sigh, that's dumb [17:02] ok so i simply wait some month with the old kernel and maybe reinstall later ^^ [17:02] Frank81: You could try a dialy kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/ and see if that works [17:02] anyway, crumble time [17:23] ok i have a problem i found a real bug i have now verifyed that the usbhid driver gets loaded and status is ok but usb keyboard don't responds. problem applys to all kernels after 3.8 i can't report the problem with the pc coz i have no ps/2 keyboard and when i wanna do a bug report he tells me that my kernel package isn't a supported one for reporting bugs [17:27] Frank81: manually log the bug [17:28] who is "he" [17:28] good question where to do so ? [17:28] ikonia: ubuntu-bug I think [17:29] Frank81: launchpad.net [17:29] Frank81: it would be helpful to get someone else to verify this also and add to the bug report to add weight if it's generic and not specific to your hardware [17:30] ikonia: Except we don't normally do that for Kernel bugs [17:30] why not ? [17:30] (I'm assuming this is an ubuntu kernel package) [17:30] ikonia: For kernel bugs it's normally one bug per user [17:31] penguin42: that's why I'm saying if it's something that's generic/specific to his tin [17:31] ikonia: the normal advice is for kernel bugs to report separate bugs anyway and then figure out if it's shared because common symptoms might reflect underlying cause [17:32] that seems crazy for something that can be confirmed as a mass paroblem as you'll end up with numerous bugs [17:32] ikonia: I kind of agree, I've been around the loop a few times; [17:32] if someone has the same problem and can verify it, it seems crazy to log multiple bugs to verify it [17:32] if things are different, sure, but if the root cause or the actual bug can be confirmed as generic....it's crazy [17:33] Frank81: up to you how you do it, but personally I would try to confirm if it's generic or not and get an additional party to verify it [17:33] ikonia: Right, but how is he going to confirm it's generic or not; he just has something where it isn't allowing him to enter his luks password [17:33] penguin42 get others to confirm the same situation, [17:33] narrow it down from there [17:34] hmm i can't even get it reported logged in browsed the bugs but there was none exact like me one was a bluethoots keyboard and one has problems with a other passpharse [17:34] logging his own bug first then getting (if applicable) additional confirmation [17:35] hmmm i probally can't verify the bug my self with a virtualbox or such? [17:35] coz there it is other hardware the virtual one right? [17:35] Frank81: that will give you an idea of it's generic or not [17:36] ok so i should simply run that on a virtualbox ok [17:36] be interesting to see if you hit the same problem [17:36] we will soon know it ^ [17:41] we will not know it [17:41] virtualbox is now broken too ^^ coz it has updated and whants the new kernel [17:41] :D [21:06] Hi. [21:07] I'm on the GT218 chipset (Nvidia GeForce 210) [21:07] I tried using Mir, and it failed. When Mir cannot be used, it' [21:07] it's supposed to fall back to XMir, correct? [21:08] alfonsojon, it falls back to X.org [21:08] XMir is what runs X applications under Mir. [21:08] Oh [21:08] Well, fallback failed [21:09] -sort of [21:09] I can have a working desktop, but it freezes after a second. [21:09] If I switch to a TTY session then come back, it unfreezes, but only for one second [21:40] that chipset doesnt work well with nouveau anyway [21:43] ali1234, as far as I know nouveau is supposed to use Mir, unlike the proprietary drivers. [21:44] Daekdroom: nouveau does support Mir, but that's unrelated to the hardware support of nouveau [21:45] yofel, yeah, but if fallback happened, then he's probably using the proprietary drivers. [21:45] indeed [21:46] but hard to say unless really checking in Xorg.0.log what's really used [21:46] yeah, what i mean is nouveau freezes and crashes with many NV50 series cards even when you use it with X, so using it with mir probably won't be much better [21:47] also, isn't mir broken on nouveau at this exact point in time, or was that fixed?
