[01:51] from 3.8 to "3.10" [01:51] hi [01:51] what? [01:52] oh someone asked earlier at some point, what I upgraded to from what, when i stated that my software updater wasn't working anymore [01:52] since the upgrade [02:43] dist-upgrade isn't what you probably think it is [02:44] it is necessary when you've got packages that have to be forced out by conflicts [02:44] upgrade may be enough in most cases [03:00] Nooooooo, last time I ran upgrade, it deleted gnome and just put in straight buntu [03:25] o.O [03:30] -_- [03:33] I 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. [03:34] If 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. [03:37] I saw an article that said something about it being seperate or something [03:37] I 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... [03:38] yeah ubuntu is fugly, they should just rename it and call it gnobuntu [03:38] and make it like a permanent thing [03:39] Ubuntu GNOME is a permanent thing [03:39] and Gubuntu got shot down, if I recall [03:39] not sure about Gnobuntu. Sounds awkward to verbally say it :P [03:39] the thing is, Ubuntu positioned its release day 1 month after each Gnome release, which worked in the 2.x days just fine. [03:40] But 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] Which basically guarantees that each consecutive version of Ubuntu GNOME will effectively have one version older of Gnome than what's "current" [03:40] well, latest, I shoulds ay [03:45] I dunno sounds like politics. Preferential elevator stuff I rather not speculate on. [03:46] I hear you. It's just with the introduction of another PPA, it sounds like a lot to manage. [03:47] For sure. [03:57] roasted, there is nothing we can do about release dates! We have to share the archive with Ubuntu [03:58] I thought that would be the case. [03:58] and 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] I understand. [03:59] I'll give Saucy with 3.8 a solid run. [03:59] and as for the PPA's they provide the foundation for Ubuntu+1 [03:59] you mentioned that to get 3.10 in Saucy we'll definitely need 2 PPAs, correct? [04:00] to get all of 3.10, atleast initially you will need both -next and staging [04:02] k, I'll keep it in mind [04:02] just begins to make my knees shake when I hear my DE will be housed under multiple PPAs :P [04:05] omg darkxst! the hero [04:05] the legend [04:07] darkxst, 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? [04:08] Ponch0, 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) [04:09] :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. [04:14] for what it's worth, your work, time, energy, and contributions are appreciated darkxst and team. [04:14] for sure, is there a po box i send the xmas gift to? [04:14] australian beer? [04:15] thanks guy [04:17] Ponch0, I can get australian beer down the street ;) [04:19] haha, 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] do 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? [04:24] I don't sorry [04:27] "Fosters" is crap so we just export it! [04:28] darkxst, hey man you here? [04:29] darkxst, I just got done but still have the DPI problem and nautilus is 100% CPU utilisation when I open it [04:31] 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 hexchat [04:31] How would one upgrade to 13.10, while already having and keeping gnome '3.10'? [04:32] the big font problem is at the login screen so not user related - so that should make it easier to resolve yeah? [04:32] darkxst, Any ideas on the nautilus issue either? [04:33] ph_, nope sorry [04:33] Ponch0, I don't think you can do it [04:33] just file bugs using ubuntu-bug for both issues [04:33] Ponch0, need to ppa-purge first before you upgrade to 13.10 [04:34] darkxst, bugger! [04:34] thanks ph_ [04:34] 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] ok [04:34] I 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 13.10 [04:35] ponch0, normally I would recommend a clean build but not with the issues I am having :P [04:35] ph_, yeah i'm getting desperate .. [04:37] darkxst, http://pastebin.com/xmAUQ4Wf [04:37] the first few lines with date etc are from the dmesg after the first boot, there was aparmor error - i uninstalled apparmor, not fixed. [04:38] the errors from line 12 to 28 are from the last boot without staging of gnome-settings-daemon [04:38] from 29 down that is gnome-settings-daemon with gnome3-staging [04:40] I don't see anything there that would be related to messed up fonts [04:40] darkxst, that's without logging in [04:40] ok I found this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaResolutionXorgConf [04:40] see DisplaySize and the text just before that [04:41] how it says that if the display size is detected incorrectly it can mess fonts and cursor size up [04:41] that's exactly what is happening with me and my monitor is detected as 7" but should be 55" [04:42] I tried created an xorg.conf with settings for 55" but it didn [04:42] ^didn't change the detected size in gnome-control-panel so I assume it's getting it somewhere else [04:50] darkxst, this is from /var/log/Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/2rhcaLk4 [04:50] darkxst, can you please grep your log for dpi and see what yours is getting set to? [04:51] DPI set to (85, 86); [04:51] there you go - so that is the problem - it's picking up bad edid settings [04:51] darkxst, is your monitor at 1920x1080? [04:51] what NVIDIA blob are you using? [04:52] my monitors are 1280x1024 [04:52] well I was just using nouveau - i just installed 319.49 and rebooted before i connected here to see if that made a difference [04:53] darkxst, what's a blob btw :P [04:53] proprietry binary only drivers [04:54] cool - 64bit also. So I think it would be unlikely if nouveau is having the same issue that it's from the NVidia drivers [04:54] ph_ anyway this is either a driver, X or monitor issue, you might have more luck getting help in #ubuntu-x [04:56] 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? [04:58] Here comes fresh install of Ubuntu-gnome! [04:59] Why haven't the support and devel channels been split yet? [04:59] ph_, nautilus is on staging, so no you won't be able to downgrade it. [05:00] ponch0 - good luck :) let me know if you have nautilus issues after upgrading to gnome3-next ppa [05:00] do you get any errors if you run from a terminal [05:00] ph_: I should be back soon, if not my computer blew up :D [05:01] I have intel on this laptop, so we'll see how the reception is. [05:01] 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] ponch0, cool :) [05:02] ph_, run `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all nautilus` [05:02] 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?!? [05:03] Can someone fix the topic to say that beta 2 is the latest developement release? [05:04] 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. === 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/ [05:05] darkxst, and running as normal user is 100% CPU - so I think that would be the actual cause right there [05:06] darkxst, how can i fix that permission problem? [05:07] darkxst, isn't /run for writing pid's etc to? [05:08] darkxst, so fixing that with chmod will break on a reboot wouldn't it? [05:08] probably [05:08] darkxst, these are the permissions set on this folder -rw------- [05:08] can you have a look at yours? [05:09] please [05:09] do you own the file? [05:09] nope root does [05:09] it should be owner:group 1000 [05:09] or whatever you username is [05:10] ok is the user/1000 folder correct or that should be user/username ? [05:11] 1000 is correct [05:11] could it have something to do with my fstab mount options at all? [05:11] ok but it's getting the wrong permissions then - how the hell is that happening? [05:11] run is not mounted by fstab [05:12] good point [05:12] no idea sorry, not likely a gnome issue though, so file a bug and hopefully someone who knows will look into it [05:12] it's funny I own the folder user is sitting in but user it'sef is root [05:13] ^itself [05:15] 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? [05:17] sudo is not really root [05:18] sudo su it was - but that's the same? [05:21] 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? [05:24] probably not [05:24] do you have nautilus rendering desktop icons? [05:25] no i don't have gnome-tweak installed yet [05:26] maybe it could be screwed up user settings for nautilus - i will try creating a new user account and test [05:26] brb [05:33] ph_: No issues what so far, in fact all the issues I had prior to this (besides wifi) are now gone. [05:34] what so ever* [05:34] darkxst, yeah that's it man [05:34] ph_: No issues whats so ever, in fact all the issues I had prior to this (besides wifi) are now gone. [05:35] darkxst, created new user and nautilus issue disappeared. So something in my profile from moving from 3.8 to 3.10 [05:35] darkxst, will have to migrate and test in new account. I'll let you know if I track down the cause [05:35] ponch0, nice one :) [05:36] ponch0, mine are superficial errors it seems so not so bad here either ;) [05:36] awesome! [05:37] 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] ph_: yup, and disabled it as usual haha [05:37] ponch0, can you do a test for me also to see if you can crash gnome-shell? [05:37] sure thing. [05:38] go to activities, search terminal and run it. type sudo su and enter [05:38] bluetooth icon in shell won't work yet [05:38] then nautilus [05:38] but bluetooth itself should be fine [05:38] then flick your mouse up to the activities and see if it crashes gnome-shell [05:39] ph_ have been doing that since i logged in, i'm getting all my programs in place, no issues. [05:39] darkxst, yeah bluetooth is working but no icon - ok that's cool - not an issue then :) [05:39] needs the new BlueZ, but that is a massive transition [05:40] so running nautilus as root from a terminal with sudo su running you can open activities without crashing? [05:40] ph_: no issues with terminal sudo su, and flicking activities I have no issue [05:40] can you try with gedit [05:40] run gedit from terminal? how do I get out of root? [05:41] no stay as root and run gedit [05:41] then try flicking to activities [05:41] ph_, why would you want to do that! [05:41] darkxst, lol for editing grub [05:42] ponch0, you still here? [05:42] ponch0, did it crash your gnome-shell? [05:43] ph_, use vi or something, its not generally a good idea to run GUI apps as root [05:44] darkxst, understood but it shouldn't kill gnome-shell like that [05:45] That did it! :D, once i flicked to activities after gedit opened, it crashed. [05:46] 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 recover [05:46] ponch0, ok that's great thanks for testing it - just remember not to do that and you won't kill gnome-shell [05:47] it should never crash that hard! [05:47] darkxst, I'm going to log a bug - because yeah it shouldn't but it does [05:48] 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 it [05:48] darkxst, you try it and see if you can recover without rebooting your machine [05:49] 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 ponch0 [05:50] but I do have the bluetooth icon [05:50] lol - how'd you get that? [05:50] It was here after install. [05:51] ponch0 - have you upgraded to gnome3-next and gnome3-staging? [05:51] or just ubuuntu gnome 13.10 [05:51] I'm on beta Ubuntu-GNOME [05:51] if it's just ubuntu gnome 13.10 then you are gnome-shell 3.8 [05:51] 3.11.0-9-generic [05:51] that's why you have the icon [05:51] ooooh I see ok "GNOME Shell 3.8.4" [05:51] just ran version check, [05:52] to get gnome-shell 3.10 you need to add the gnome3-next ppa then apt-get distupgrade [05:52] That's why I have no issues :D [05:52] ^dist-upgrade [05:52] yeah that could be why no nautilus 100% [05:52] it's up to you if you want 3.10 or not [05:53] 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-upgrade [05:53] No, haha I had that before this reinstall, heeeaps of issues [05:53] aaahhh ok [05:53] lol [05:54] yeah i am tempted to ghost back to my 13.10 with 3.8 [05:54] buuuuut I like having the latest gnome-shell [05:54] so i'm gonna stick it out [05:55] darkxst, are you still here - did you try gedit to crash your g-s/ [05:55] ? [05:56] just going afk for a bit - have a friend over to fix his comp [05:56] I did like 3.10 alot also [06:07] 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 enough [06:07] or you can do it with jhbuild? darkxst can point u in the right direction for that [06:10] darkxst, hey man did you try to crash your gnome-shell the way i suggested yet? [06:56] Hey 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.png [07:33] Ponch0, that is conky, but I have never used it [07:34] better spend cpu-cycles on something useful ;P [07:40] thank you darkxst, I have figured it out, it doesn't look as nice as it does in pictures haha [07:40] lol ricotz, that's true [07:51] Ponch0, there are like a million different conky themes! [07:51] ricotz, mostly have gjs working except utf-8 tests are still broken [07:53] Haha I have found those. [07:56] Ok- going on main ubuntu channel to bother them haha [07:58] darkxst, great! [09:17] hi [09:17] somebody here? [09:17] ubuntu gnome 13.10 is going to use xmir? [09:19] Vorbis, no [09:21] great!! [09:21] I'll test it === ph_afk is now known as ph_ [14:11] darkxst, phew - what a nightmare man [14:12] ph_, how'd you work out? [14:12] 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 fixed [14:12] ponch0, staying with 3.10 but gnome3-next ppa only [14:13] Ah ok, I had a ton of issues but I didnt have a font issue? [14:13] personally when i was on 3.10 [14:13] 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 together [14:14] I'm ok on next 3.10 but staging gave me all sorts of grief unfortunately [14:14] That's what i'm doing at this point. [14:15] Just going to wait, need something semi-stable, this computer is where I work on most of my school java stuff [14:15] anyways I'm just recovering my software and settings etc still, it's a lot of work [14:15] I know, I find it easier to back up my files and do a fresh install lol [14:16] yeah this is my main PC - media everything pc hooked up to my tv (slash big ass monitor), so it needs to be stable [14:17] 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 place [14:17] so it takes me about a day for a full build [14:18] 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 :P [14:19] patience is a virtue lol I command you [14:20] yeah - mine runs thin at times like this when I dive back into ubuntu and happen to hit an unstable cycle [14:21] so your staying with g-s 3.8? [14:22] Yeah 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 nightmare [14:24] so I'm going to stick with 13.10 gnome 3.8 for now. [14:24] 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 12.10 [14:26] 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 then [14:27] that was g-s 3.2 or 3.4 I can't remember now it was a year and a half ago now [14:27] Yeah I understand, I had the pleasure of buying the laptop in december of last year with the new EFI boot "security" from Windows 8 [14:28] I heard that stuffed up a lot of people's installs for a while there [14:28] WIPED it :) best decision ever [14:28] Oh it was a nightmare [14:28] my pc is uefi but before all that new shite came in [14:29] glad i didn't have to go through it [14:30] Yeah, 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 it [14:30] it's awesome cuz they really just leave it open for ya to do anything. [14:31] No issues, have an external HD with gnome on it and w8 on the original. [14:31] yeah that's the only way to go - I only build custom pc's myself - won't ever go back to branded [14:31] but 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. [14:32] yeah and it [14:32] ^it's all to showcase there 3 second boot stuff [14:32] lol is it? I didn't even know that. [14:33] Not only that, windows 8 is for tablets.... [14:33] why do I want tiles on my desktop...... [14:33] yeah all that uefi, secure boot, ultra fast mode bios crap was to try and keep it just for microsoft [14:34] i boot with ubuntu in 5 seconds [14:34] and that's not with the ultra fast boot stuff [14:34] it's just straight from an ssd [14:34] that's awesome. [14:34] now granted if you take bios load, and menu's etc it would be closer to 10 seconds [14:35] but that actual boot time of ubuntu is 5 seconds [14:35] that's really good. [14:35] microsoft's 3 second boot is from when you click the power button you have a desktop and can start working within 3 seconds [14:36] Right, personally it doesn't matter to me as long as it doesn't take over a minute lol [14:36] google you tube and you can see some in action - it's quite cool but it's only microsoft at this stage [14:37] 6.3 seconds is mine - just checked it in the logs [14:37] so that's not so bad [14:38] not bad at all, damnit my neighbors having sex again. [14:38] lol eeeewww [14:39] anyways on that note I'm just gonna finish sorting my machine out [14:40] np, good luck! [14:40] see ya round - i'm sure i'll be in and out of here getting stuff sorted [14:40] cheers you too === ph_ is now known as ph_afk [16:09] Ponch0, not enough insulation where you live?

I could always pull IMAP in, but then calendars, contacts, tasks, etc are left to the OWA on a browser. :/ [23:29] It seems as if the gvfs bug that plagued earlier releases is still apparent in Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 [23:29] I just tried to pull 1.5 GB from my samba file server.
