RovanionAre there Nvidia drivers for 14.04 at this point?01:55
whatisthematrixRovanion: i would think so. i think there's nvidia-319 drivers01:56
holsteinRovanion: you should be able to use whatever nvidia provides01:56
whatisthematrixthere's nvidia-331 drivers01:57
whatisthematrix!info nvidia-33101:57
ubottunvidia-331 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-331): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library. In component restricted, is optional. Version 331.20-0ubuntu7 (trusty), package size 26949 kB, installed size 127722 kB (Only available for i386; amd64)01:57
RovanionThank you for your answer!01:57
whatisthematrixand there 304's, and 173's01:57
whatisthematrixRovanion: sure, you're welcome01:58
RovanionWould you deem it to be stable enough for daily use at this point? I've helped out with pre-release debugging before but this is earlier than the last LTS I jumped on.01:59
holsteinRovanion: no01:59
holsteinRovanion: its testing01:59
whatisthematrixon the Ubuntu desktop i would say no. but i've used Kde and Xfce and seem to have pretty good stability. also...01:59
RovanionWell I'm on awesome so I would just be testing standalone apps.02:00
RovanionAnd then awesome of course.02:00
holsteineven if it were stable as a rock today, its not guaranteed to be that way til its released, and may not be that way later02:00
whatisthematrixi just got done working a long time on compiling/configuring, and  hacking my system to get Enlightenment 0.18.1(e18) compiled and installed02:01
whatisthematrixand it crashed(sigsegv) at first when trying to access menu items when i first fired it up. but after that i rebooted and it sure is nice! been using it for a few hours and it's seems stable, so far02:02
holsteinand it may be.. but its not what you use if you want stable..02:03
whatisthematrixbut it isn't available in trusty... but there's Motif, Cinnamon(i haven't tried it), WindowMaker, IceWM, etc, etc02:03
RovanionPerhaps waiting for the debian import freeze is a good idea as most major system changes should have stopped by then.02:08
whatisthematrixRovanion: what do you mostly use your sytem for?02:09
whatisthematrixsystem*02:09
Rovanionwhatisthematrix: Normal desktop use, surf the web, programming.02:09
RovanionOn my desktop and laptop that is :P02:10
RovanionMy server on the other hand won't see an upgrade until summer I'd venture.02:11
whatisthematrixRovanion: same here. so, i'd recommend it then. i'm loving it anyway. i just recommend not using the ubuntu desktop in it. at least from what i have tried and can tell.02:11
whatisthematrixyou could install it, and then install other window managers to use02:13
whatisthematrixup to you though. only you can decide ;-)02:13
RovanionNormally install from minimal either way02:13
RovanionWhen I feel fancy I even install a display manager :P02:13
whatisthematrixi don't mind minimal, but i like eye-candy as well :)02:14
Rovanionwhatisthematrix: Minimal as in: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD02:15
RovanionEverything is fetched from the net during install.02:15
whatisthematrixroger that02:15
whatisthematrixcool02:16
RovanionSince I don't install any meta-package like ubuntu-desktop I'll end up with only the packages I like.02:16
RovanionNot that it matters but my current install is 2.4Gig of which LaTeX is 1.2 or something like that.02:17
Rovanion!info texlive-full02:18
ubottutexlive-full (source: texlive-base): TeX Live: metapackage pulling in all components of TeX Live. In component universe, is optional. Version 2013.20131219-1 (trusty), package size 14 kB, installed size 91 kB02:18
RovanionWell that says nothing.02:18
whatisthematrixRovanion: if you decide to download and install it, and install X-Windows and graphical stuff i should tell you of a niggle i ran into when i installed it about two and a half months ago02:20
whatisthematrixi don't know if you  run into the same issue now or not02:20
whatisthematrixbut i had to run this command to fix the problem of widget icons not being displayed, they were like a box with a red 'x' in them or something02:21
whatisthematrixsudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-common02:21
RovanionI'll think of that if the problem comes up, thanks02:22
whatisthematrixsure, yw02:22
whatisthematrixwhat were you wanting to know about texlive? the version?02:25
RovanionInstalled size, of coures it only showed the installed size of the meta data which means little.02:25
whatisthematrixyep02:26
whatisthematrixyou'd need a more specific package02:26
whatisthematrix!info texlive-latex-base02:27
ubottutexlive-latex-base (source: texlive-base): TeX Live: LaTeX fundamental packages. In component main, is optional. Version 2013.20131219-1 (trusty), package size 809 kB, installed size 7765 kB02:27

RovanionWhen I Install texlive-full apt-get cites something like 1.2G installed size, you could try it on yours.02:28
RovanionIf you don't already have it installed like I do.02:28
whatisthematrixi have a number of the packages under 'texlive-full' already installed02:29
RovanionOh well.02:29
RovanionRight, on my server texlive-full would pull down an extra 2G of installed packages02:31
whatisthematrixroger02:32
whatisthematrixi'm looking at it in 'aptitude', and i have a good number of them already installed. a few of them just got installed last night when i was installing some things, and one of the 'doc' packages for it was02:33
whatisthematrixa 314 MB download02:33
whatisthematrixmight have been this one...  texlive-latex-extra-doc02:36
whatisthematrix!info texlive-latex-extra-doc02:37

gno1404hi, I'm trying 14.04 with gnome - is there a way to add keyboard layout shortcuts?   it's not working for me02:59
gno1404it was hard enough to 'choose' what keys but when I try them, nothing happens03:00
gno1404I added another language so I just want to toggle to the other and back03:00
whatisthematrixhopefully someone can help you with that. i don't know anything about modifying keyboard shortcuts. i've never done it anyway.03:01
gno1404maybe it doesn't work with live media or?03:03
whatisthematrixthere's the following utility/app, but i don't know anything about it03:03
whatisthematrix!info gkbd-capplet03:04
ubottugkbd-capplet (source: libgnomekbd): GNOME Panel applet for libgnomekbd. In component main, is optional. Version 3.6.0-0ubuntu2 (trusty), package size 4 kB, installed size 50 kB03:04
gno1404whatisthematrix: thanks, good to know03:04
whatisthematrixgno1404: yeah, maybe not. for instance, i don't know if you can get that app installed while running the livecd03:04
gno1404whatisthematrix:  I can't use Kubuntu 13.10 with my smartphone so I'm trying Ubuntu 14.0403:06
gno1404it connects okay and I can load pics from it in image viewer so that's good03:06
gno1404just checking other things out now03:06
gno1404I install extra languages so I was curious how the shortcuts worked03:06
whatisthematrixroger. i've found the ubuntu desktop to be unstable in 14.04, so i use other window managers. i've used 'kde 4.12.0' some in 14.0403:07
gno1404yeah?03:07
gno1404interesting03:07
whatisthematrixwant to hear something more interesting? ;-)03:08
gno1404I'm trying to figure out if is could be related to a kernel ver. issue but only speculating03:08
gno1404yeah, sure ;-)03:08
whatisthematrixokay03:08
whatisthematrixi worked on this starting last night, and then for many hours today03:09
gno1404oh no ;-)03:09
gno1404know how that is... sigh03:09
whatisthematrixi worked hard on compiling/configuring and hacking my system for a long time to get Enlightenment 0.18.1 compiled  and installed on trusty 14.0403:09
gno1404oh nice03:09
whatisthematrixman, it was quite a bear, but i finally got it!03:09
gno1404you are starting to like the ligher window managers? ;)03:10
whatisthematrixusing  it now of course. seems fairly stable, other than when i first fired it up. had a crash/sigsev. but since i rebooted it's seems very good/nice03:11
gno1404not familiar with that one03:12
whatisthematrixi like a lot of the window managers/desktop environments03:12
whatisthematrixnot all of them. i once tried olvwm and i was like, yuk03:12
whatisthematrixbut i don't mind something like Motif(mwm) or WindowMaker, but probably prefer IceWM over those two03:12
gno1404I tried fluxbox a long time ago when I messed around with mythtv ;-D03:12
whatisthematrixi've never tried fluxbox or openbox03:13
whatisthematrixi just installed Cinnamon with aptitude today for the heck of it, but haven't tried it yet03:14
whatisthematrixi've seen a number of people talking about it though03:15
gno1404how do you like it?03:16
whatisthematrixhow do i like 14.04?03:16
gno1404I also have mint installed with cinammon but since the upgrade, I cannot open my photos with any image viewer03:16
gno1404I have to use gimp03:17
gno1404I meant, how do you like the cinnamon DE?03:17
whatisthematrixif you mean Cinnamon, as i said, i installed it but i haven't ever tried it or used it yet. i've seen other people talking about it though. so i thought i'd install it03:17
gno1404kubuntu was my main OS but I cannot get my android phone detected at all - so I am trying out 14.04 with Gnome ;)03:18
gno1404oh, I see03:18
whatisthematrixbut for now, i'm going to use e18 for while since it took so much work!03:18
gno1404understandable!03:18
whatisthematrixgoing to enjoy it for a good while ;-)03:18
whatisthematrixya, cheers :)03:18
gno1404looks interesting but I don't like spending lots of time on configuring stuff :D03:18
whatisthematrixi like compiling and configuring stuff, somewhat03:19
gno1404it's okay sometimes if in the mood ;)03:19
whatisthematrixrgr03:19
whatisthematrixi think it's one of the great things about gnu/linux, it comes with a compiler, for free03:20
gno1404that's true03:20
whatisthematrixand nothing is hidden03:20
whatisthematrixyou can look at anything03:20
gno1404plus, you should be good at setting up Enlightenment :)03:21
whatisthematrixwell, i'm more knowledgeable/experienced now i can say. but still no expert i don't think. it certainly took me a bit of trial and error03:23
MunchorHi there04:29
Munchorhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6676584/04:29
MunchorGetting that on a 14.04 daily build, any ideas?04:29
whatisthematrixhello04:32
whatisthematrixi might be able to help with that04:32
Munchorgreat04:33
whatisthematrixlet me look at it for a bit04:33
whatisthematrixinteresting. i don't show that i have an '8.6' version available to install. 8.5 is available04:36
whatisthematrixi'm updating my apt just to see if 8.6 has just come available04:38
whatisthematrixanyway....04:38
whatisthematrixif you would try the following04:39
whatisthematrixcd /var/cache/apt/archives04:39
MunchorI have a tk8.4.deb and a tk8.6.deb04:40
Munchortk8.4_8.4.20-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb04:40
Munchortk8.6_8.6.1-3_amd64.deb04:40
whatisthematrixokay04:41
whatisthematrixwhat happens if you try...  sudo apt-get remove tcl8.6 tcl8.6-lib tk8.6 tk8.6-lib04:41
whatisthematrixahh! 8.6 is in my list now. 8.6 versions of tcl/tk are brand spanking new. i updated a few hours ago and they weren't available then04:43
whatisthematrixi think the system should be installing 'libtk8.6' instead of 'tk8.6-lib'04:45
whatisthematrixthat is also a recent change. a change in the name of the packages. mine were replaced with the new package name just a few hours ago, but for 8.504:46
MunchorSo just unlucky time to upgrade here?04:47
whatisthematrixmaybe... what happens if you try? --> sudo apt-get -f install04:47
Munchorthe output from paste.ubuntu.com I sent you earlier04:48
Munchoris from apt-get -f install04:48
Munchorwhich I ran after upgrade -f failed with a similar error04:48
whatisthematrixokay, roger04:48
Munchorwhich I ran after a normal update/upgrade with that error too04:48
whatisthematrixhang on a moment04:48
whatisthematrixdo --> sudo  apt-get -d install libtcl8.6 libtk8.604:49
whatisthematrixlet me know when they are downloaded04:49
whatisthematrixif they aren't already04:49
Munchor>Download complete and in download only mode04:49
whatisthematrixokay. now you may get error message, but try the normal command first --> sudo dpkg -i libtcl8.6*.deb libtk8.6*.deb04:51
Munchorhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6676643/04:51
whatisthematrixi'm thinking you're going to need to force something to get stuff working. but try that first04:51
whatisthematrixwhat happens if you try the command it suggested in your first pastebin?  -->  sudo apt-get autoremove tcl8.6-lib tk8.6-lib04:54
holsteinthats the way i usually deal with those.. just remove til i get "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" to complete without error04:55
Munchorhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6676662/04:56
Munchorwon't let me remove packages? huh04:56
whatisthematrixholstein: roger that. i'd rather avoid having to use a "--force-overwrite", but i've done it  many times before to get something straightened out04:56
holsteinwhat did apt-get -f install do Munchor ?04:56
whatisthematrixMunchor: okay, one moment04:57
Munchorholstein, before I got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/6676584/04:57
MunchorShould I try again?04:57
holsteinMunchor: there is no "should".. this is unreleased software04:57
whatisthematrixMunchor: do --> sudo dpkg --force-depends -r tcl8.6-lib tk8.6-lib04:59
Munchortrue holstein that's right04:59
whatisthematrixMunchor: then do --> sudo apt-get install libtcl8.6 libtk8.605:00
holsteinMunchor: what triggered the install of those packages? try and remove whatever is pulling those in as well05:00
holsteinMunchor: i assume you have tried simply "apt-get autoremove"05:01
Munchorwhatisthematrix, that seems to have worked05:02
MunchorI just ran an update/upgrade and it worked just fine after that05:02
whatisthematrixMunchor: cool, cheers m805:02
MunchorDo you mind, though, explaining me what the first command did? I realize it is looking for dependencies of those two packages05:02
MunchorBut what is it doing to them?05:03
whatisthematrixit seemd to think your system still depended on having tcl8.6-lib & tk8.6-lib. but those have  been replaced by new packages named... libtcl8.6 libtk8.605:04
Munchoroh I see05:06
whatisthematrixif by the first command you mean --> sudo dpkg --force-depends -r tcl8.6-lib tk8.6-lib05:06
MunchorThe rename makes perfect sense btw05:07
whatisthematrixthat tells it to remove them regardless of dpkg thinking something depends upon them.05:07
whatisthematrixokay, cool05:07
whatisthematrixi've just looked at my latest updates, and if i go to upgrade, i think i'm going to have something similar to what happened to you Munchor. i haven't run the upgrade yet05:13
whatisthematrixbut something looks amiss in aptitude at fist glance05:13
whatisthematrixfirst*05:13
MunchorYeah it might happen to a lot more people05:14
whatisthematrixYep..05:14
