netherHi there. I'm having an issue getting ibus to work under gnome 3 in 13.10. It is configured with ibus-setup and the default IM is set to i-bus. The daemon appears to be running, it does not show in gnome, nor do any commands let me change input method to Japanese (using mozc, which is set as the the ibus default input method). Is there anyone please able to offer suggestions? I couldn't find the answer on google or in documentation.02:31
trismnether: in 13.10 the setup has moved to the keyboard layout settings, if you go to the layout settings and add "Japanese (Mozc)" you will get a keyboard panel icon in the gnome shell panel03:01
nethertrism, oh I see! You're 100% right, actually that was a little confusing because I was so accustomed to doing it the "old way". I had looked at that earlier today but didn't actually search "mozc" within the input selection options - it was already set to Japanese/日本語 which actually did nothing apart from let me type with a Japanese keyboard layout.03:04
nethertrism, thanks so much for that :)03:04
trismnether: it has confused a bunch of us so far, hopefully there will be a release note about it03:06
nethertrism, I certainly hope so! On the other hand, the change is probably for the best in the long run. I think it's easier this way once you know.03:08
trismnether: definitely03:08

ReactoHow do I upgrade to 13.10?12:23
ReactoWhen I have 13.04 and win8 dual booted12:24
Reactodo I have to first remove the 13.04 + grub partitions?12:24
philinuxReacto: to do this in 13.04 open a terminal and use > update-manager -d12:25
philinuxmake sure you on good net connection. alternatively you can upgrade using the iso on a usb stick12:25
Reactoye I'm trying to use the iso12:25
Reactobut the only options are to install alongside oses and wipe everything12:26
Reactothe former would just install 13.10 next to 13.04 and win8 right?12:26
philinuxReacto: supposed to offer to upgrade12:26
philinuxi've never tried it myself12:26
Reactoye I thought so but it doesnt12:26
ReactoInstall Ubuntu alongside them, Erase disk and install Ubuntu12:27
Reacto+ Something else12:27
ceborhi, i user ubuntu saucy on my laptop with an external monitor, when i close the lid an reopen it my internal lcd does not get reactivated. anybody else with this problem, or does it work correctly for somebody?12:28
ceboruser = use12:29
philinuxReacto: what does something else offer12:31
Reactojust a partition screen12:32
philinuxah ok.12:32
philinuxReacto: are you connected to net when trying upgrade from usb12:34
ReactoNo, apparently not12:34
philinuxah you need to be for option to appear apparently12:35
Reactohm12:35
Reactonot sure if there's something wrong with the drivers then12:35
Reactobecause the lancable is in12:35

Reactothought it was a bug12:36
Reactojeez12:36
Reactoi'll try now12:36
philinuxlet me know if works12:37
Reactochecking now12:37
philinuxReacto: that link explains the reason for net being needed12:37
philinuxnews to me too12:37
BluesKajHiyas all12:38
Reactonope, didn't work :(12:41
Reactoand I had net this time12:41
ReactoI'll just do a clean install12:44
philinuxReacto: did you reboot the live usb12:48
Reactoyep12:48
philinuxweird innit12:48
Reactomhm12:48
philinuxI'll have to try that on my 13.04 desktop12:48
philinuxon my 13.10 lappy just now12:48
Reactohm12:49
ReactoHow come my ubuntu partitions are locked in gparted, but they're not mounted?12:49
Reactoumount says they're not at least12:49
philinuxI prefer the utility Disks12:50
elfyswap in use locking extended  perhaps12:50
Reactohow do I disable the swap?12:50
Reactotried umounting the swap partition12:50
elfyswapoff -a12:50
elfyor right click in gparted - swapoff12:51
Reactohm that worked12:52
Reactobut on deleting I ge tthis error:12:52
Reacto"Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sdc5 -- Device or resource busy"12:52
Reactothink sdc5 was the swap12:52
Reactonah, it was the ubuntu partition12:52
philinuxReacto: maybe this why upgrade not offered by ubiquity12:53
Reactohm12:53
Reactoit's a libparted bug12:53
Reactoi'll try clicking ignore and see if it deleted it anyway12:54
Reactohm, gparted says its unallocated after a reboot12:55
ReactoHow can the installer still think I've got multiple oses when I've removed both ubuntu, the linux swap and the grub partition?13:01
philinuxReacto: hang on i'm just cooking the usb with the daily live i zsynced13:07
ReactoI removed the ubuntu partition and what I thought was the grub partition, but I still have grub rescue13:08
Reactoso need to remove that I guess13:08
bekksReacto: Grub is installed in the MBR of a disk or at the boot sector of a partition. Removing the package doesnt affect that.13:08
elfythere is a 'error informing kernel bug' kicking about Bug 122016513:09

bekksReacto: a chroot would not affect what I said above.13:09
Reactoor is there any way to remove grub from the grub rescue terminal?13:09
bekksReacto: You have to manually clean the MBR or the boot sector.13:10
bekksReacto: Do you want to get rid of Ubuntu or do you want to fix your grub installation?13:10
Reactoget rid of ubuntu13:10
ReactoI already deleted the ubuntu partition13:10
ReactoI'm getting rid of it so I can clean install 13.1013:10
bekksYou can do so with grub still being in the MBR/boot sector.13:11
Reactobut the ubuntu installer still thinks I've got two OSes installed, so need to fix that13:11
elfythen don't worry about what grub is saying - just clean install and it will reinstall grub13:11
bekksThen fix the grub menu after installing.13:11
Reactoye but I can't clean install13:11
bekksYou can.13:11
Reactousually there's an option to install ubuntu alongside windows13:11
Reactonow it says install ubuntu alongside other oses13:11
bekksAnd?13:11
Reactoshould I just try that then?13:11
elfythen use the erase and install option13:12
Reactoye but then it will erase win8 too right?13:12
elfyoh yea - don't do that :)13:12
bekksWhy dont you fix the grub menu after installation?13:12
bekksThats more easy than messing around to clean the mbr.13:12
Reactok I'll try that13:13
ReactoHow would I fix the grub menu after installing?13:13
bekks!grub2 | Reacto13:13

ReactoI have three drives, and I'm not sure which drive I installed grub into the last time13:15
Reactowhich kind of sucks, since then I'll have two grub installs if I install grub to a different drive now right?13:15
Reactowait, I guess I can check what HDD I'm booting into normally, I guess grub must be on that one derp13:16
ReactoUnable to install grub in /dev/sda, this is a fatal error13:20
Reactotrying to install to a different hdd13:21
BluesKajReacto. frub like sto install to the mbr , and if you have a particular drive as /dev/sda then that's the logical place to look and install grub to'13:23
Reactoit completed, however it didnt seem to install grub to the drive I chose13:23
Reactobooting it only gives me the grub console13:24
ReactoI guess I can fix this frm the live usb though?13:24
BluesKajusually determined by the hdd drive first in the bios13:24

elfyyea - but if there is a bug then fixing the testcase one won't do anything with it :)13:41
philinuxelfy: except my desktop only has ubuntu on it. just / /swap and /data13:41
elfyperhaps there is an upgrade bug then13:41
philinuxelfy: Ah I wonder if you need the alternate version13:46
philinuxReacto: elfy sussed it. live usb is detecting that I have 13.04 on sda and 13.10 on sdb so it wont offer upgrade13:59
philinuxwould work if there was only sda with buntu on it.14:00

edge731hello, i need help with a graphics card, can somebody help me?18:32
adamkedge731: You need to just ask your question.18:33
edge731(ubuntu 13.10:AMD HD3200M)  i want to use unity and multiple programs that use 3D but: , unity does not work, xfce does, lshw shows card, glxinfo not, i already tried using old kernels from grub, there is a package i should reconfigure, thats related to my card?18:35
adamkedge731: Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.18:35
edge731it was working yesterday before an update18:35
adamkThat doesn't change my response.18:36
edge731adamk: http://pastebin.com/MiPjRHLs18:39
adamkYou installed the nvidia driver, and you're using a radeon GPU. That's not going to work. Uninstall the nvidia driver.18:40
edge731lol, i dont remembering doing that,... ??, what are the names of the packages?....18:41
k1lapt-get remove nvidia*18:41
edge731adamk: it says godbye to opencv-dev and nvidia-[setings-]319-updates... weird, do you know why opencv?, i remember now that i installed it before the problem18:44
adamkPresumably something in opencv requires an nvidia GPU with the nvidia drivers, though I don't know anything about that program, or why that would be a requirement.  Could just be a mistake with packaging, and nvidia is not actually required...18:46
thebishopis anyone getting terrible compiz performance + artifacts as of this weekend?18:48
edge731adamk: its a computer vision library, you could try it, its really good, rebooting18:48

thebishopthen sometime saturday i must've grabbed some bad updates18:50
xarsesthebishop, using it since june, this weekend has been the worst set up updates ever18:51
edge731adamk: thanks, it solved :)18:53
thebishopxarses, i guess i'll just wait for a fix... wish i hadn't installed this on my work pc but i figured the release is close enough that it would be stable18:56
wastrelthebishop: i see it after resuming from suspend sometimes18:59
wastrelv. bad performance18:59
xarsesi have 1 broken wifi driver, NetworkManager is more or less useless, more tearing/viz artifacts, random interpretations of my power (sleep /suspend) policy, broken backlight driver (again). unity-pannel still 100%'s cpu (been weeks for that), compiz randomly misbehaving, usb3 randomly resets with higher bw usage18:59
thebishopwastrel, hmm, it's front and center for me.  intel graphics even.18:59
xarsesintel here too18:59
xarsesthebishop, did you restart with the new kernel?19:00
xarsesit helped some when i was finally able to work around the backlight issue19:00
thebishopxarses, i installed 3.12rc4 from the mainline repo and saw the same problems as the stock 13.10 kernel from 3.1119:01
xarsesok19:01
xarseswhere is that? It might fix my damn wifi19:02
thebishopxarses, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ - scroll to bottom19:03
thebishopyou need the image/headers for your arch as well as the "all" package19:03
