Ponch0from 3.8 to "3.10"01:51
roastedhi01:51
roastedwhat?01:51
Ponch0oh someone asked earlier at some point, what I upgraded to from what, when i stated that my software updater wasn't working anymore01:52
Ponch0since the upgrade01:52
bjsniderdist-upgrade isn't what you probably think it is02:43
bjsniderit is necessary when you've got packages that have to be forced out by conflicts02:44
bjsniderupgrade may be enough in most cases02:44
Ponch0Nooooooo, last time I ran upgrade, it deleted gnome and just put in straight buntu03:00
roastedo.O03:25
Ponch0-_-03:30
roastedI have a question that I'd like to present with the utmost level of respect, but I am so dang curious I want to fire it out there.03:33
roastedIf development for Gnome 3.10 started in May, how is it that 13.10 is still 3.8 bound? I understand that there's little time there, but one would think that 3.10 starting back in May would allow for a considerable amount of time to port things in place.03:34
Ponch0I saw an article that said something about it being seperate or something03:37
roastedI get the stability argument, but I just find it a little :/ to have a "new" distro out that needs a PPA to have the latest Gnome. This seems like it'll be something that travels with Ubuntu GNOME forever...03:37
Ponch0yeah ubuntu is fugly, they should just rename it and call it gnobuntu03:38
Ponch0and make it like a permanent thing03:38
roastedUbuntu GNOME is a permanent thing03:39
roastedand Gubuntu got shot down, if I recall03:39
roastednot sure about Gnobuntu. Sounds awkward to verbally say it :P03:39
roastedthe thing is, Ubuntu positioned its release day 1 month after each Gnome release, which worked in the 2.x days just fine.03:39
roastedBut now, Ubuntu is not in the Gnome camp... this is Ubuntu GNOME's turf now... but in 3.x land, a month is not enough.03:40
roastedWhich basically guarantees that each consecutive version of Ubuntu GNOME will effectively have one version older of Gnome than what's "current"03:40
roastedwell, latest, I shoulds ay03:40
Ponch0I dunno sounds like politics. Preferential elevator stuff I rather not speculate on.03:45
roastedI hear you. It's just with the introduction of another PPA, it sounds like a lot to manage.03:46
Ponch0For sure.03:47
darkxstroasted, there is nothing we can do about release dates! We have to share the archive with Ubuntu03:57
roastedI thought that would be the case.03:58
darkxstand on the plus side saucy is rock solid, since the 3.8 packages had a good cycle to bake. end result is probably 100x more stable than it would have been with 3.10 in it.03:58
roastedI understand.03:58
roastedI'll give Saucy with 3.8 a solid run.03:59
darkxstand as for the PPA's they provide the foundation for Ubuntu+103:59
roastedyou mentioned that to get 3.10 in Saucy we'll definitely need 2 PPAs, correct?03:59
darkxstto get all of 3.10, atleast initially you will need both -next and staging04:00
roastedk, I'll keep it in mind04:02
roastedjust begins to make my knees shake when I hear my DE will be housed under multiple PPAs :P04:02
Ponch0omg darkxst! the hero04:05
roastedthe legend04:05
Ponch0darkxst, question sir: I upgraded to '3.10', software updater isn't working, how do I keep my system up to date from command line? is sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sufficient?04:07
darkxstPonch0, yes sure dist-upgrade is fine, just make sure to always check if it wants to remove half you system (as it will sometimes, if there are broken dependencies)04:08
Ponch0:D haha I remember, ever since then it hasn't asked once if I wanted a partial, and i've been waiting and hoping that it does.04:09
roastedfor what it's worth, your work, time, energy, and contributions are appreciated darkxst and team.04:14
Ponch0for sure, is there a po box i send the xmas gift to?04:14
Ponch0australian beer?04:14
darkxstthanks guy04:15
darkxstPonch0, I can get australian beer down the street ;)04:17
Ponch0haha, I just saw the commercial for "Foster". I'm pretty sure you guys don't like/know about it, alot of the american stuff once it gets here gets watered down.04:19
roasteddo any of you know the answer offhand.. if you're playing music in 3.8 and you right click rhythm box in the message tray, are there buttons for forward reverse pause?04:19
Ponch0I don't sorry04:24
darkxst"Fosters" is crap so we just export it!04:27
ph_darkxst, hey man you here?04:28
ph_darkxst, I just got done but still have the DPI problem and nautilus is 100% CPU utilisation when I open it04:29
ph_darkxst, ubuntu gnome 13.10, then updates restart, gnome3-next ppa, dist-upgrade reboot - nautilus problem detected at this point. gnome3 ppa + gnome3-staging ppa, dist-upgrade and reboot and install hexchat04:31
Ponch0How would one upgrade to 13.10, while already having and keeping gnome '3.10'?04:31
ph_the big font problem is at the login screen so not user related - so that should make it easier to resolve yeah?04:32
ph_darkxst, Any ideas on the nautilus issue either?04:32
darkxstph_, nope sorry04:33
ph_Ponch0, I don't think you can do it04:33
darkxstjust file bugs using ubuntu-bug for both issues04:33
ph_Ponch0, need to ppa-purge first before you upgrade to 13.1004:33
ph_darkxst, bugger!04:34
Ponch0thanks ph_04:34
ph_darkxst, I have the logs from the first reboot where the big fonts problem started do you want to have a quick look at those?04:34
darkxstok04:34
Ponch0I have this pesky wifi problem since always that other users have with the card but seems to have been ignored because I guess not enough people complain, hoping it's fixed in 13.1004:34
ph_ponch0, normally I would recommend a clean build but not with the issues I am having :P04:35
Ponch0ph_, yeah i'm getting desperate ..04:35
ph_darkxst, http://pastebin.com/xmAUQ4Wf04:37
ph_the first few lines with date etc are from the dmesg after the first boot, there was aparmor error - i uninstalled apparmor, not fixed.04:37
ph_the errors from line 12 to 28 are from the last boot without staging of gnome-settings-daemon04:38
ph_from 29 down that is gnome-settings-daemon with gnome3-staging04:38
darkxstI don't see anything there that would be related to messed up fonts04:40
ph_darkxst, that's without logging in04:40
ph_ok I found this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaResolutionXorgConf04:40
ph_see DisplaySize and the text just before that04:40
ph_how it says that if the display size is detected incorrectly it can mess fonts and cursor size up04:41
ph_that's exactly what is happening with me and my monitor is detected as 7" but should be 55"04:41
ph_I tried created an xorg.conf with settings for 55" but it didn04:42
ph_^didn't change the detected size in gnome-control-panel so I assume it's getting it somewhere else04:42
ph_darkxst, this is from /var/log/Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/2rhcaLk404:50
ph_darkxst, can you please grep your log for dpi and see what yours is getting set to?04:50
darkxstDPI set to (85, 86);04:51
ph_there you go - so that is the problem - it's picking up bad edid settings04:51
ph_darkxst, is your monitor at 1920x1080?04:51
darkxstwhat NVIDIA blob are you using?04:51
darkxstmy monitors are 1280x102404:52
ph_well I was just using nouveau - i just installed 319.49 and rebooted before i connected here to see if that made a difference04:52
ph_darkxst, what's a blob btw :P04:53
darkxstproprietry binary only drivers04:53
ph_cool - 64bit also. So I think it would be unlikely if nouveau is having the same issue that it's from the NVidia drivers04:54
darkxstph_ anyway this is either a driver, X or monitor issue, you might have more luck getting help in #ubuntu-x04:54
ph_darkxst, ok i'll try there. What about the nautilus issue? It cam straight after upgrading to gnome3-next. Would it be possible for me to downgrade to the nautilus package from Saucy or that wouldn't be a good idea?04:56
Ponch0Here comes fresh install of Ubuntu-gnome!04:58
NoskcajWhy haven't the support and devel channels been split yet?04:59
darkxstph_, nautilus is on staging, so no you won't be able to downgrade it.04:59
ph_ponch0 - good luck :) let me know if you have nautilus issues after upgrading to gnome3-next ppa05:00
darkxstdo you get any errors if you run from a terminal05:00
Ponch0ph_: I should be back soon, if not my computer blew up :D05:00
Ponch0I have intel on this laptop, so we'll see how the reception is.05:01
ph_darkxst, no I don't now - so doing the ubuntu-gnome build made it less chatty with errors but is there a log perhaps that might have errors thrown by nautilus that wouldn't show on the console?05:01
ph_ponch0, cool :)05:01
darkxstph_, run `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all nautilus`05:02
ph_darkxst, wow this is funny I just ran nautilus from a terminal with sudo su - so as root and it runs fine without 100% cpu?!?05:02
NoskcajCan someone fix the topic to say that beta 2 is the latest developement release?05:03
ph_darkxst, ok getting heaps of these running nautilus as a normal user (nautilus:7143): dconf-CRITICAL **: unable to create file '/run/user/1000/dconf/user': Permission denied.  dconf will not work properly.05:04
=== ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu-gnome to: Ubuntu GNOME Development & Support | Latest Stable Release: 13.04 | Latest Development Release: 13.10 Beta 2 | Download from http://ubuntugnome.org/download/ | Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu.com | http://ubuntugnome.org/community/
ph_darkxst, and running as normal user is 100% CPU - so I think that would be the actual cause right there05:05
ph_darkxst, how can i fix that permission problem?05:06
ph_darkxst, isn't /run for writing pid's etc to?05:07
ph_darkxst, so fixing that with chmod will break on a reboot wouldn't it?05:08
darkxstprobably05:08
ph_darkxst, these are the permissions set on this folder -rw-------05:08
ph_can you have a look at yours?05:08
ph_please05:09
darkxstdo you own the file?05:09
ph_nope root does05:09
darkxstit should be owner:group 100005:09
darkxstor whatever you username is05:09
ph_ok is the user/1000 folder correct or that should be user/username ?05:10
darkxst1000 is correct05:11
ph_could it have something to do with my fstab mount options at all?05:11
ph_ok but it's getting the wrong permissions then - how the hell is that happening?05:11
darkxstrun is not mounted by fstab05:11
ph_good point05:12
darkxstno idea sorry, not likely a gnome issue though, so file a bug and hopefully someone who knows will look into it05:12
ph_it's funny I own the folder user is sitting in but user it'sef is root05:12
ph_^itself05:13
ph_darkxst, ok I worked it out - when i ran nautilus as sudo it created that file and then when i ran it as my user it didn't have permissions to it - but root shouldn't be creating stuff under /user/1000 in the first place yeah?05:15
darkxstsudo is not really root05:17
ph_sudo su it was - but that's the same?05:18
ph_darkxst, G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all nautilus running that as a user it doesn't throw errors - but it show it is successfully registerd at /org/gnome/SessionManager/Client18 but runs at 100% CPU. When running G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all nautilus under sudo su terminal it fails to register but doesn't run at 100% CPU. Could it be some issue with gnome session manager causing the problem?05:21
darkxstprobably not05:24
darkxstdo you have nautilus rendering desktop icons?05:24
ph_no i don't have gnome-tweak installed yet05:25
ph_maybe it could be screwed up user settings for nautilus - i will try creating a new user account and test05:26
ph_brb05:26
Ponch0ph_: No issues what so far, in fact all the issues I had prior to this (besides wifi) are now gone.05:33
Ponch0what so ever*05:34
ph_darkxst, yeah that's it man05:34
Ponch0ph_: No issues whats so ever, in fact all the issues I had prior to this (besides wifi) are now gone.05:34
ph_darkxst, created new user and nautilus issue disappeared. So something in my profile from moving from 3.8 to 3.1005:35
ph_darkxst, will have to migrate and test in new account. I'll let you know if I track down the cause05:35
ph_ponch0, nice one :)05:35
ph_ponch0, mine are superficial errors it seems so not so bad here either ;)05:36
Ponch0awesome!05:36
ph_ponch0, yeah ;) Although bluetooth isn't working for me as the last problem I'm having - are you seeing bluetooth icon in 3.10 ponch0?05:37
Ponch0ph_: yup, and disabled it as usual haha05:37
ph_ponch0, can you do a test for me also to see if you can crash gnome-shell?05:37
Ponch0sure thing.05:37
ph_go to activities, search terminal and run it. type sudo su and enter05:38
darkxstbluetooth icon in shell won't work yet05:38
ph_then nautilus05:38
darkxstbut bluetooth itself should be fine05:38
ph_then flick your mouse up to the activities and see if it crashes gnome-shell05:38
Ponch0ph_ have been doing that since i logged in, i'm getting all my programs in place, no issues.05:39
ph_darkxst, yeah bluetooth is working but no icon - ok that's cool - not an issue then :)05:39
darkxstneeds the new BlueZ, but that is a massive transition05:39
ph_so running nautilus as root from a terminal with sudo su running you can open activities without crashing?05:40
Ponch0ph_: no issues with terminal sudo su, and flicking activities I have no issue05:40
ph_can you try with gedit05:40
Ponch0run gedit from terminal? how do I get out of root?05:40
ph_no stay as root and run gedit05:41
ph_then try flicking to activities05:41
darkxstph_, why would you want to do that!05:41
ph_darkxst, lol for editing grub05:41
ph_ponch0, you still here?05:42
ph_ponch0, did it crash your gnome-shell?05:42
darkxstph_, use vi or something, its not generally a good idea to run GUI apps as root05:43
ph_darkxst, understood but it shouldn't kill gnome-shell like that05:44
Ponch0That did it! :D, once i flicked to activities after gedit opened, it crashed.05:45
ph_darkxst, i only do it for a few things - usually i have nautilus extensions install that run gksu and then the app I want which works without issue but before you install all that on a fresh build sudo gedit is what I have been used to and it kills the hell out of gnome-shell - you can't recover by ctrl+alt+f1 and stop gdm and restart it - you have to reboot your entire computer to recover05:46
ph_ponch0, ok that's great thanks for testing it - just remember not to do that and you won't kill gnome-shell05:46
darkxstit should never crash that hard!05:47
ph_darkxst, I'm going to log a bug - because yeah it shouldn't but it does05:47
ph_trust me I tried killing all gnome processes, X everything i could think of and restarting them all and logging in - nope no gnome-shell it throws heaps of errors in the logs - need to bounce my entire computer to fix it05:48
ph_darkxst, you try it and see if you can recover without rebooting your machine05:48
ph_needs to be sudo su from gnome-terminal then nautilus or gedit do it for me - but try gedit that does it without fail and on other pc's it seems according to ponch005:49
Ponch0but I do have the bluetooth icon05:50
ph_lol - how'd you get that?05:50
Ponch0It was here after install.05:50
ph_ponch0 - have you upgraded to gnome3-next and gnome3-staging?05:51
ph_or just ubuuntu gnome 13.1005:51
Ponch0I'm on beta Ubuntu-GNOME05:51
ph_if it's just ubuntu gnome 13.10 then you are gnome-shell 3.805:51
Ponch03.11.0-9-generic05:51
ph_that's why you have the icon05:51
Ponch0ooooh I see ok "GNOME Shell 3.8.4"05:51
Ponch0just ran version check,05:51
ph_to get gnome-shell 3.10 you need to add the gnome3-next ppa then apt-get distupgrade05:52
Ponch0That's why I have no issues :D05:52
ph_^dist-upgrade05:52
ph_yeah that could be why no nautilus 100%05:52
ph_it's up to you if you want 3.10 or not05:52
ph_if you do then it's better to add gnome3-next ppa, dist-upgrade to that, then add gnome3 ppa and gnome3-staging ppa and do another dist-upgrade05:53
Ponch0No, haha I had that before this reinstall, heeeaps of issues05:53
ph_aaahhh ok05:53
ph_lol05:53
ph_yeah i am tempted to ghost back to my 13.10 with 3.805:54
ph_buuuuut I like having the latest gnome-shell05:54
ph_so i'm gonna stick it out05:54
ph_darkxst, are you still here - did you try gedit to crash your g-s/05:55
ph_?05:55
ph_just going afk for a bit - have a friend over to fix his comp05:56
Ponch0I did like 3.10 alot also05:56
ph_ponch0, sorry i pulled my plug out :P - yeah it's pretty stable if you follow the method above I said to upgrade - but get yourself a copy of clonezilla and put it on a USB then backup your ubuntu as is - it only takes about 5 minutes to do so. try it out and then your can recover if you don't think it's stable enough06:07
ph_or you can do it with jhbuild? darkxst can point u in the right direction for that06:07
ph_darkxst, hey man did you try to crash your gnome-shell the way i suggested yet?06:10
Ponch0Hey guys anyone know how I can get this cpu thing up and running like so here: http://vindsl.com/images/vindsl-desktop-28-apr-2013-1.png06:56
darkxstPonch0, that is conky, but I have never used it07:33
ricotzbetter spend cpu-cycles on something useful ;P07:34
Ponch0thank you darkxst, I have figured it out, it doesn't look as nice as it does in pictures haha07:40
Ponch0lol ricotz, that's true07:40
darkxstPonch0, there are like a million different conky themes!07:51
darkxstricotz, mostly have gjs working except utf-8 tests are still broken07:51
Ponch0Haha I have found those.07:53
Ponch0Ok- going on main ubuntu channel to bother them haha07:56

=== ph_afk is now known as ph_
ph_darkxst, phew - what a nightmare man14:11
Ponch0ph_, how'd you work out?14:12
ph_darkxst, rolled back to next only. Sorted out the nautilus, but can't for the life of me see where the font problem is coming from. Logged a bug anyway, so hopefully someone will see it before the release date so it can get fixed14:12
ph_ponch0, staying with 3.10 but gnome3-next ppa only14:12
Ponch0Ah ok, I had a ton of issues but I didnt have a font issue?14:13
Ponch0personally when i was on 3.1014:13
ph_not going to staging - will just wait for full release of Ubuntu Gnome 13.10, and when gnome-shell 3.10 is fully released I'll install the both together14:13
ph_I'm ok on next 3.10 but staging gave me all sorts of grief unfortunately14:14
Ponch0That's what i'm doing at this point.14:14
Ponch0Just going to wait, need something semi-stable, this computer is where I work on most of my school java stuff14:15
ph_anyways I'm just recovering my software and settings etc still, it's a lot of work14:15
Ponch0I know, I find it easier to back up my files and do a fresh install lol14:15
ph_yeah this is my main PC - media everything pc hooked up to my tv (slash big ass monitor), so it needs to be stable14:16
ph_yeah that's what i do as well, but i don't like copying my old user folder, so I opt for rebuilding and reinstalling apps manually, and just copying config files in place14:17
ph_so it takes me about a day for a full build14:17
ph_but that's about the same with windows so I'm not complaining - but it's better to stay with something stable than screw around with rebuilding every couple of days :P14:18
Ponch0patience is a virtue lol I command you14:19
ph_yeah - mine runs thin at times like this when I dive back into ubuntu and happen to hit an unstable cycle14:20
ph_so your staying with g-s 3.8?14:21
Ponch0Yeah for now, i'm on 13.10 beta 2 and surprisingly it's been pretty stable so far.  I remember when I installed 13.04 beta because 12.10 wasn't working with my hardware.  That was a nightmare14:22
Ponch0so I'm going to stick with 13.10 gnome 3.8 for now.14:24
ph_I had a really nice build from upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 and it was rock solid. Then my SSD crashed and my only option was straight 12.10 when i got the drive back. I did that and jesus everything was screwed up - I have no idea why but it just wasn't the same as doing a dist-upgrade from 12.04 to 12.1014:24
ph_I was really plannig on sticking with that original 12.10 build i had for a while, but I had no choice once i got my drive back so I've been staying with the latest and greatest since then14:26
ph_that was g-s 3.2 or 3.4 I can't remember now it was a year and a half ago now14:27
Ponch0Yeah I understand, I had the pleasure of buying the laptop in december of last year with the new EFI boot "security" from Windows 814:27
ph_I heard that stuffed up a lot of people's installs for a while there14:28
Ponch0WIPED it :) best decision ever14:28
Ponch0Oh it was a nightmare14:28
ph_my pc is uefi but before all that new shite came in14:28
ph_glad i didn't have to go through it14:29
Ponch0Yeah, I have a PC that I never use lol but I have a dual-boot set up, ordered it from one of those, custom built places and it14:30
Ponch0it's awesome cuz they really just leave it open for ya to do anything.14:30
Ponch0No issues, have an external HD with gnome on it and w8 on the original.14:31
ph_yeah that's the only way to go - I only build custom pc's myself - won't ever go back to branded14:31
Ponch0but really, windows 8 trying to lock me out of installing linux just caused me to make it completely useless to me and I since then prefer Linux.14:31
ph_yeah and it14:32
ph_^it's all to showcase there 3 second boot stuff14:32
Ponch0lol is it? I didn't even know that.14:32
Ponch0Not only that, windows 8 is for tablets....14:33
Ponch0why do I want tiles on my desktop......14:33
ph_yeah all that uefi, secure boot, ultra fast mode bios crap was to try and keep it just for microsoft14:33
ph_i boot with ubuntu in 5 seconds14:34
ph_and that's not with the ultra fast boot stuff14:34
ph_it's just straight from an ssd14:34
Ponch0that's awesome.14:34
ph_now granted if you take bios load, and menu's etc it would be closer to 10 seconds14:34
ph_but that actual boot time of ubuntu is 5 seconds14:35
Ponch0that's really good.14:35
ph_microsoft's 3 second boot is from when you click the power button you have a desktop and can start working within 3 seconds14:35
Ponch0Right, personally it doesn't matter to me as long as it doesn't take over a minute lol14:36
ph_google you tube and you can see some in action - it's quite cool but it's only microsoft at this stage14:36
ph_6.3 seconds is mine - just checked it in the logs14:37
ph_so that's not so bad14:37
Ponch0not bad at all, damnit my neighbors having sex again.14:38
ph_lol eeeewww14:38
ph_anyways on that note I'm just gonna finish sorting my machine out14:39
Ponch0np, good luck!14:40
ph_see ya round - i'm sure i'll be in and out of here getting stuff sorted14:40
