It won't even dim after a while. However, setting the timeout manually by "xset dpms 0 0 600" works. Is this a bug with gnome-settings-daemon or something? [10:13] I tried looking at LP but I couln't find any related bugs for trusty, but I rather ask here first, because it has probably already been reported [10:36] 'Morning all [11:15] @bekks mounting removable storage is pretty critical to a normal desktop experience (unless you advocate xubuntu is only for dev/sysops etc..), thanks for pointing out the workaround although still such common use should require a workaround and certainly should be marked low 20 days prior to a release [11:15] should require --> shouldnt require [11:19] It isnt even vital. It is a nice feature, it doesnt break anything at all. The use can stikll work flawlessly, and has to do ONE manual step only. Thats totally acceptable for NOT marking a bug as "showstopper", "breaker" or even "critical". [11:20] It's like you car has a broken window winder, and you are insisting you cant drive that car anymore at all :) [11:20] bekks, we disagree on this, pissing around with a wrapper script with a sleep a solution isnt an out the box solutions, lets just hope its get fixed before release [11:20] its a problem if on launch day all 11,000 preorder cars have fucked wipers yes [11:21] Can you watch your language please? If not, this discussion is over now. [11:21] with a Low priority though its may be like the mess with 13.04 or 12.10 with the stalled login that took 2 minutes [11:22] Even 11.000 broken window winders will nont make cars unusable, in fact. It may be a problem, but that problem doesnt break onee single care. [11:22] car. [11:22] unless it rains.. [11:22] anyway, we disagree.. [11:23] The car will still be usable, even in rain. Wet, but usable. [11:23] yes, but if manufacturers realises 20 days before launch day that they were in this position this might not rank it as low priority to ship a car with working wipers [11:24] And even if it isnt low prio it will not break a single car. [11:24] analogies always break down, we disagree on the matter.. [11:24] No one will jump off a bridge just because this feature isnt working. It isnt critical. [11:24] However. [11:24] although someone might crash... analogies [11:25] Some people even die standing next to their car watching at the broken winder. Possibilities. Analogies. [11:26] i couldnt give someone a USB stick with 14.04 on 26th (assumption - because Low it wont be fixed in ~20 days) on say check on this lightweight distro that out the box just works (just not heavy on resources) when they cant frickin mount a USB stick without a workaround that most wont know how to use [11:27] Then comment on that bug and insist on marking it a total breaker. I dont thing you will be successful but thats your only chance. And dont stop in the middle of the highway ot watch your broken winder. You might get hit by a truck. [11:28] the intent was to get it bumped to High, because plug in USB sticks and drives is a regular task for most users [11:29] what bug number is this? [11:29] regular!=critical [11:29] @penguin42 [11:29] that is what happened to me, even though FGLRX was still installed and loaded in the kernel [11:29] my laptop with Intel 4000 graphics still works fine after the update [11:29] yeah this morning/ last night my system fell over as a partial upgrade broke isc-dhcp-client [11:29] dhcp was also broken for me, yes [11:29] but I believe that is fixed now [11:29] nonuby: Discussing bug in IRC will not raise their priority in launchpad, not at all.

[11:32] nonuby: Given that the upstream bug is still open, it sounds like they need to go and fix it - go get them to fix thunar and then someone could pull the fix in [11:33] how do I find who is responsible then if not the distro? Benedikt Meurer last article is aug 06, yes im runing 14.04 [11:33] mm, ok http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/bugs/1210898 [11:33] nonuby: Because that bug has an upstream bug link [11:34] nonuby: See https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9193 [11:34] bugzilla.xfce.org bug 9193 in General "Automount doesn't work." [Normal,New] [11:35] Normal priority is a little more appeasing.. :) [11:36] nonuby: So, tell me, how easy is it to work around; it says automounting isn't working - but from the thunar gui can you then mount it with a few clicks or do you have to pop a shell open? [11:45] thunar (the default file manager, folder show in an xubuntu install) doesnt seem to show an option to mount it, i believe its something to do with udisks2 calls thunar-volman which then send a message to thunar instance to show the drive [11:47] hmm I would have been tempted to set it a bit higher than low then - I normally reserve low for things that have an easy work around or are totally irrelevant, but I agree mounting a thumb drive is a bit more than that [11:47] nonuby: But in the end , I still think it's upstream that have to go and fix it first [11:49] nonuby: It's going to take someone who understands the innards of Thunar to fix it === LjL-Gay is now known as LjL [12:26] hi, I want to file a bug-report [12:27] ElLute: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu [12:28] make sure its not already there [12:28] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/CrashdumpRecipe?action=show&redirect=KernelTeam%2FCrashdumpRecipe [12:29] im currently reading through this, because the problem appears during startup on my thinkpad if i want to boot with acpi activated [12:30] Is it possible to replace the kernel in the ISO boot image easily? [12:31] Did anybody notice that notification applet is acting up in xfce? [12:32] Elvanor, do you mean use a different kernel at boot/grub? [12:33] majod: how do i set the different parameters for this different kernels? [12:35] ElLute: sorry i cant help you,i dont have experience with this [12:39] BluesKaj: yes [12:39] but it is not present on the ISO, so I must add it manually === beidl_ is now known as beidl [12:44] Elvanor, add the kernel manually, how? [12:46] BluesKaj: to the USB key I boot from [12:46] dont know if it is possible [12:47] Elvanor: yo can modify an ISO, the only problem is the installer works with your new ISO. [12:48] Elvanor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [12:48] Elvanor, not that I know of , you have to add the kernel to grub after installing the [12:48] OS [12:49] that's the usual method [12:50] Elvanor: And yes, after installing the system you can add a PPA repository with your kernel, and update the system [12:51] there's no guarantee that a kernel not included and modded for a particular OS will install the OS properly [12:51] install with the OS [12:51] can someone help me solve my issue with unable to installing .deb files with ubuntu software center? all .debs fail to install, but with dpkg -i it runs successfuly [12:53] majod: try to open terminal and write "sudo -s" and "software-center" [12:54] ok wait, let me download some .deb i dont already have [12:55] Crashbit: what exactly am i supposed to see?

[12:58] and why would i even do that, if i can just download deb, double click and insatll? [12:58] majod: skype already exists in ubuntu [12:58] great. but that doesnt solve the problem with software center installing .debs [12:58] cant install venom, steam [12:58] but steam already exists in ubuntu [12:59] you don't need a .deb [12:59] but what if i want to install with deb? [12:59] why does it have to end with "package installation failed"? [12:59] it's strange [12:59] majod, software center looks at the sources.list for the repositories and all package managers use dpkg as the base for them [12:59] and when clicking on "details" theres no error [13:00] BluesKaj: so what does it mean? [13:00] when i do dpkg -i , it installs fine...when i double click on it, it doesnt install [13:00] !packages [13:00] You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 30000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [13:02] but...thats just avoiding the solution by some workaround, which doesnt even work for every software...when someone just provides .deb file on a website, i cant do anything but to download it and isntall from it [13:02] majod: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/360155/test/Captura%20de%202014-04-06%2015%3A00%3A15.png and I have steam and skype [13:03] majod: but your problem with software-center and .debs is strange [13:03] but i believe you...i can also see steam in software center [13:03] not skype tho [13:04] but when i have .deb on my disk...and doubleclick on it...i expect it to install...not that i have to run terminal and dpkg it [13:04] majod, 14.04 is a devel OS afterall, and skypw isn't really well supported in Linux since MS bought the company [13:04] but the problem is not about skype [13:04] majod: yo can open other programs requiero root access from GUI, for example gnome-control-center user and accounts and unlock it ? [13:04] its about debs [13:04] please... [13:05] Crashbit: let me try but i guess theres no problem with that [13:05] sure, unlocked... [13:05] what happens with software center is: i doubleclick .deb, software center opens and starts to install [13:06] downloads everything, "applying changes" [13:06] and at the end [13:07] i just get an error message saying: "package operation failed: the installation or removal of a software package failed" [13:07] i click "details" and theres simple output from installing but with absolutely no errors [13:08] and the software is not listed as installed...when i do dpkg -i package, it prints the same output, but installs just fine.

[13:24] yes, just tried it [13:25] btw...you said you have skype in software center? which source is it? i checked all but i can get skype only from official page [13:26] majod: I put an image with my sources [13:26] majod: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7212346/ [13:27] majod: but you can try to open a bug with the debugging info [13:28] yeah i was thinking about it but i think i wont...looks like im the only one with that problem [13:28] I undestand you have an updated system [13:28] of course [13:29] Sorry, I can't reproduce your problem [13:29] okay. thank you very much for your help! [13:29] sorry to bother [13:34] hi there, i've been using 14.04, and i've installed gnome-shell, but on the login, i don't find the button to switch DE, am i missing something? [13:34] so who killed UNR? [13:37] what do you mean who killed it ? [13:38] it was retired [13:38] and the product merged into ubuntu [13:41] ikonia: it doesn't work on a 1024x900 screen,all the dialouges are too big [13:42] what doesn't ? [13:42] Unity works fine here on 1024x600 [13:43] bekks: no, it doesn't, the upgrade dialouge is too damn big, it isn't displayed and client is complaning that they can't see buttons [13:45] this is an AOD250, basically an older netbook === miraiE is now known as mamat [13:57] to anyone that cares, the Ubuntu+1 community really needs to offer support for netbooks, else you are all going to take a hit in usership.. fix the netbook release. Or die as an OS, those are the options i see [13:57] ok, thanks [13:57] noted [13:58] Netbooks are actually already dead again. :) [13:58] Thats why displays grew again. [13:58] ikonia: you've been a great friend over the years, and i offer my respect, i hope you can UNR rebooted in time [13:58] I have no interest in unr - it's dead [13:58] I suggest you focus on swapping distros as you said to find a solution [13:59] bekks: I have Arch running on a 13 year old desktop that the ubuntu kerenl wouldn't boot on, what's wrong here? [14:00] nothing to do with this channel [14:00] I dont care a second about arch anymore, which I used myself for about 6 years in the past. I quit using it for good reasons, and all of these are offtopic in here. [14:00] please stop trying to provoke a problem [14:00] you've said you are dumping ubuntu - it doesn't work for you, fine, please do s [14:00] move on [14:00] ikonia: then Cononical is to be accused of the same atrocity that Apple anf Oracle is. [14:00] not interested in that [14:01] I suggest you move onto a distro that meets your needs [14:01] i'll disengage now, good bye [14:01] don't want to discuss it any more [14:01] thanks [14:02] "Oh no, 2 days till deadline and suddenly and unexpected I noticed that something I promised to the customer doesnt work. Now lets see wether I can sue the community to make the world turn into the other direction." [14:03] Isn't it possible to resize the upgrade window? [14:04] Hey guys! Am I the only one who's missing 3 and 4 finger multitouch gestures in 14.04? [14:05] I really liked those in 12.04 [14:25] i have started having a problem with my wireless connection to my hotspot, keeps droping connection for about 2 minutes then reconnects, running off my usb stick with 14.04 it works fine. so there is something in my laptop that is configed wrong , was working fine upto about a week ago. [14:54] I've just realized that there is no settings for add or edit user group in kubuntu system settings [15:05] hello, on Ubuntu 14.04 with stable 3.14 kernel I have a stack trace with indicator-cpufreq [15:19] http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/fxload fxload (0.0.20081013... ) there is a much more current version. Is there any chance of getting it into trusty? [15:20] I forget what the policy is for [universe] stuff [15:28] anyone managed to run popcorn time on trusty? [16:18] hi [16:18] does anyone know how i get the kernel log of a previous, failed startup? [16:19] it depends how far it got [16:19] ElLute: Check /var/log/dmesg or dmesg.0 to see if it's got the previous version in - but if the bootup failed before the logging stuff managed to write it to disk it won't have anything [16:19] i have lvm on dm-crypt, i can enter the password and then it says that it is not able to mount swap [16:20] hmm, that might not be a kernel level issue [16:20] see if there are any logs in /var/log/upstart from that boot [16:20] ok, /var/log/dmesg seems to be the log from the previous startup [16:21] the problem is, i have a new laptop, if i start up without acpi it is working, with acpi i need to debug now :) [16:22] hth does acpi change whether it can mount swap.... [16:23] ElLute: If this is a new laptop I'd try a simple installation without crypt/lvm first and debug your acpi issues on a simple setup first [16:25] the live-start had already the same problems... hanging during startup [16:28] penguin42: I wanted to slide the laptop from development and trial machine directly to production after stable release of 14.04, but it seems i have to setup anyways to steps [16:28] ElLute: What's the laptop and what's the misbehaviour? [16:28] thinkpad t440p [16:28] acpi=off it boots up fine [16:29] default it hangs somewhere in the startup process [16:30] with the encrypted lvm it tells sometimes things about ext4 issues which disappear with acpi=off and other times it just halts [16:31] penguin42: do you know maybe how i can give the crashdump kernel different parameters as the normal? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/CrashdumpRecipe [16:31] I've not used crashdump [16:33] Actually its not even a kernel crash, since the kernel already booted, passed control to init, and dm-crypt is nont able to unnlock swap properly. [16:33] hmm, t440p - I'd look at others hitting similar things; Lenovo sometimes do odd things - I used to have a w520 I had to guess some parameters for [16:34] 12.04.4 seems to work fine, but I thought since I have a machine available for playing around right at the release, I would like to contribute a little bit of testing [16:34] ElLute: Take the 'quiet' off the boot line in grub, and see if you get any more detail on the console - if you get a backtrace or anything then take a screenshot and lets see [16:34] i remove quiet and splash? [16:35] it is quite a long time since I lastly dug so deep in the system (blush) [16:35] ElLute: Yeh get some detail out of it [16:35] ElLute: Does that model have Nvidia and Intel graphics? [16:35] is there a verbouse option [16:35] jup, both [16:36] ElLute: Just a gut feeling, try it on Intel only - I used to have a w520 that lost all its interrupts on Nvidia [16:36] ok [16:36] thanks, i will make a reboot now [16:36] broken bios I think [16:36] get back here later [16:37] has the 440p got the really nice screen that the 540p has got? [16:54] Ok i followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#USB_printer to try to fix it and when i reconnected the printer and ran in that tail command i got a bunch of errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/7210911/ === harris_ is now known as basketball [16:56] basketball: That type of thing normally happens when you have an unhappy usb connection [16:57] penguin42, should i try different cable [16:57] basketball: I would, or a different USB port [16:57] i tried different port [16:57] brb [16:57] gotta restart xchat [16:59] back [17:00] basketball: it's a bit odd with a printer, so I would try another cable; I've seen it with unpowered devices when the port can't supply enough power, or with a bad hub [17:00] penguin42: very good gut feeling8-) [17:00] it is in a hub but everything else in the hub works [17:00] ElLute: It worked with the Intel ? [17:00] and the printer did not work even when it wasnt in hub [17:02] penguin42: not yet. i was not able to disable nvidia in the bios, but during startup I saw something a little strange with the noveau driver and i was able to get an error message which could help the acpi-guys to fix something [17:03] brb reboot pc [17:04] this bug seems to quite tackle my problem down [17:05] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1268669 [17:05] Launchpad bug 1268669 in linux (Ubuntu) "Lenovo T440p (Haswell/NVidia optimus gfx) flaky unless I blacklist nouveau" [Medium,Triaged] [17:07] penguin42, i just switched cable with a brand new one and it still doesnt show up [17:12] kind of silly ubuntuone packages are included since its discontinued but i guess its all frozen and stuff [17:13] i purged em out [17:14] hopefully indicator goes away on relog [17:16] (just upgraded 13.10 to 14.04 -- upgrade mentioned a bunch of errors but no real problems i can see) [17:17] notice unwanted ibus icon so removed that package.. [17:28] Hey. I dont quite get why Steam wont be installed. Software Center tells me that "libc6 (>= 2.15) but 2.19-0ubuntu3 is to be installed" but if I'm reading that correctly, that doesn' really make sense. Can anyone clear that up? [17:40] penguin42, do you think if i fresh install it will fix it [17:44] basketball: Unlikely in my experience [17:44] basketball: What type of printer is it? [17:51] hp officejet 100 mobile printer l4113 [17:52] penguin42, [17:54] basketball: odd, HP stuff normally works ok [17:54] My qdbus appears to be broken. :/ [17:56] when I attempt to start Kubuntu I get a message saying it's not able to start D-Bus. Can you call qdbus? When I attempt to run qdbus it sais qdus could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qdbus': No such file or directory. [17:56] penguin42, what do i do [17:57] basketball: I've not got any good ideas I'm afraid, if you're getting basic reset errors like that on usb [17:57] It is true that no such file exists, but when I run `which qdbus` it sais /usr/bin/qdbus, so I do not know what the reference to this other directory is. Also, symlinking qdbus from the long directory to the one where qdbus actually exists appears to to work. [17:57] penguin42, do you know who might know [17:58] basketball: I'd look for one of the printing places, look for stuff related to that printer or hplip [17:58] penguin42, the weird thing is it worked in 13.10 [17:59] basketball: OK, so file a bug for it since that's not good; you could also try some different kernels and see if it helps - try the very latest mainline and also try an old 13.10 kernel [17:59] i did file a bug and there is no activity [18:00] basketball: OK, I'd say if it's at the USB level then I'd try kernel versions since it's pretty low level [18:00] Also this did work fine earlier today, but then I ran the latest updates which appears to have broken it. :( [18:00] penguin42, idk what a kernel version is [18:01] basketball: Then it's going to be pretty hard for you to debug it I'm afraid [18:01] basketball: You could try a local LUG or the like [18:01] do you think when final comes out it will be fixed [18:02] or is there like a broken file somewhere [18:04] basketball: Not many bugs are going to be fixed between now and final; however if it breaks a lot of people USB devices not just yours then there is a bigger chance [18:04] [18:04] penguin42, i still dont even understand what is wrong [18:08] penguin42, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+bug/1303230 [18:08] Launchpad bug 1303230 in hplip (Ubuntu) "hp office jet 100 mobile printer will not show up in printer list and a bunch of errors when i connect printer and run tail -f /var/log/syslog" [Undecided,New] [18:19] penguin42, i posted on ask ubuntu also https://askubuntu.com/questions/444137/hp-office-jet-100-mobile-printer-l411-will-not-show-up-in-printer-list-in-ubuntu [18:26] Does anybody here have auto-hide launcher enabled? [18:26] Does it work for you on 14.04? [18:26] satmandu: I think I did a few days ago when I was playing around [18:27] satmandu: Worked for me, but now I use gnome [18:27] Any reason to use gnome vs the standard ubuntu gui? [18:27] basketball: You need to add a note to there saying that it worked for you on 13.10 (if it did) [18:28] satmandu: it's my preference, no technical reason [18:28] thanks Crashbit [18:29] I've done some googling, and there's a bit of chatter about the auto-hide not working in previous versions... and I'm just wondering what the best way to troubleshoot this is. [18:30] Unrelated to that: Is there a way to import passwords and networks from a wpa_supplicant.conf to network manager? [18:31] I'd like to get the networks I have already entered on my android device, all neatly saved inside a wpa_supplicant.conf file, into ubuntu, without manually entering everything. [18:36] satmandu: At present I don't even have a working KDE environment because my qdbus is shot. [18:36] BlueEagle: I'd try logging out of desktop, into a text console, and then move all your . files into a 'broken' dir and try logging back in [18:39] penguin42: Well, since I cannot log into the desktop that is out of the question. But I just found the solution. Apparently qdbus-qt5 was not installed. [18:39] penguin42: Looks like a missed dependency that the update today borked. [18:39] penguin42: However, manually installing it resolved the issue [18:39] BlueEagle: Login on the text consoe - from the login page ctrl-alt-f2 should get you a text mode [18:40] penguin42: Yes, I already did. That's where I'm running irssi from now. But thanks anyway. [18:41] BlueEagle: So you should be able to move your dot files from there [18:42] penguin42: Again, it was a matter of a missing qdbus-qt5 package. [18:42] BlueEagle: It's an interesting question why it was missing [18:43] penguin42: It wasn't missing before I ran the upgrades earlier today. Also the qt4 qdbus does exist. Has something stopped usign the qt4 dbus and started to use the qd5 dbus without adding the dependency? [18:44] qt5 qdbus* [18:45] BlueEagle: It does sound a bit odd that, I wonder whether you have a ppa installed [18:45] ppa? [18:46] an extra package archive [18:47] penguin42: I have not added any sources, no. [18:47] penguin42: Do you run Kubuntu? If so, do you have qdbus-qt5 installed, and have you installed the latest updates? [18:48] BlueEagle: I don' t have any qt5 pacakges installed ( dpkg -l \*qt5\* ) [18:49] penguin42: I have quite a few. I am doing some devel on cockatrice, and playing with qt5 too. [18:51] BlueEagle: Right, so I suspect your problem is it's using qt5 in some places and that needs a bunch of other bits of qt5 as soon as you start using any [18:51] penguin42: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7213701/ [18:52] penguin42: But if Kubuntu/KDE starts requiring qdbus-qt5 when other qt5-packages are installed then qdbus-qt5 should be a dependency, should it not? [18:53] penguin42: ie. I am not automatically running any of my stuff, and the issue comes as I attempt to log in, before the desktop shows. [18:53] BlueEagle: Yes - but a dependency on what - kubuntu doesn't need qt5, so it sounds like the act of pulling something in adds that dependency [18:55] penguin42: Yeah, I do not know what is causing the dependency, and I am currently not very inclined to start removing parts of the system to see when it stops requiring it. I'll revisit the issue when I reinstall next time, which might not be until after the stable is released. :/ [18:55] penguin42: unless I find myself lacking stuff to do an evening, of course. [18:56] wait can I put a bot on my channel [18:56] here is my channel #Funbase [18:57] optrusty: I think that might be !ot tbh. [18:57] BlueEagle: On my channel or this channel [18:58] optrusty: If you are talking about an IRC bot, then it's !ot on this channel. What is off topic on your channel must be up to you.

[19:01] question: was MATE removed from the trusty-proposed? I wanted to try it to see how my programs respond to taskbar quit requests. Thanks. [19:02] trism: Indeed it is. [19:02] trism: the error when running qdbus in terminal is: qdus could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qdbus': No such file or directory [19:02] pietro10: cinnamon was removed. mate should be still there [19:02] !info mate [19:02] pietro10: I see mate-desktop in the package list [19:02] Package mate does not exist in trusty [19:02] !info mate-desktop [19:02] mate-desktop (source: mate-desktop): Library with common API for various MATE modules.

[20:50] it's stuck on an ubuntu style with xfce background [20:51] removing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf (which did not work before) did not fix it [20:51] *which did not exist before === majod_ is now known as majod [21:28] Hey folks, I have an interesting issue with the new Ubuntu I was hoping someone might help me shed some light on. I installed this laptop using wubi, so it's a loop file on the Windows partition. [21:30] Now, the loop device is _read-only_. I have confirmed that the host file system is R/W, and I can mount it R/W by adding another loop device. [21:30] But I can't move / to the new device. [21:38] That's really odd. It works on the 13.10 kernel. [21:42] wubi is basically not supported anymore, since it is discontinued. [22:11] Keep forgetting that 14.04 is still beta it runs so good. [22:12] bekks: well, that's fine but dist-upgrades shouldn't break it [22:14] toresbe: It is discontinued, so compatibility with updates isnt checked anymore. [22:23] bekks: so you're saying people are OK with a significant proportion of the user base having their systems break on upgrade, in a way even a seasoned Unix user is puzzled by? That can't possibly be true. [22:30] toresbe: i would rather people spend their time on the supported cases [22:32] I am curious how you concluded significant proportion [22:36] Okay. What's the correct way to change the LightDM greeter used? Thanks. [22:47] CarlFK: you guys aren't Ubuntu developers, right? [22:49] toresbe: I am not [22:49] good, that's a relief [22:52] toresbe: do you have any stats, or are you assuming that "significant proportion of the user base" is like you? [22:54] CarlFK: I know that a lot of people have installed with wubi. That's not something that's controversial to the point where it needs to be substantiated by statistics. [22:55] CarlFK: Although wubi may well not be supported, which is a shame because it's really useful, that doesn't mean that it's OK for a major Linux distro to break on upgrades, rather than checking for the case and handling it (if necessary, by giving an error message on upgrading). [22:55] it is to OK. [22:55] that is the definition of supported. [22:55] and not supported. [22:55] just like it's OK for me to stop wasting my time with this discussion - I mean, honestly. [22:59] what is supported in this case [22:59] supported by canonical or supported by the wubi developers? [23:00] heck if I know. I was more interested in the jump from "I broke my box" to "therefore a lot of people will too" [23:02] also [23:02] and other heavy word choice. [23:02] how do I get gtk+ to use the icons KDE assgined to it again [23:02] because it's not anymore [23:08] ok screw this I'm going to finish making sure quit events work right on unity and then remove it because it's caused everything so far [23:16] I tried following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#USB . When I plugged in the printer and ran tail -f /var/log/syslog , I got the following errors Apr 6 16:12:32 harris-HP-Pavilion-dv6000-RP296UA-ABA kernel: [22075.172263] usb 1-3.2: new high-speed USB device number 13 using ehci-pci [23:16] Apr 6 16:12:37 harris-HP-Pavilion-dv6000-RP296UA-ABA kernel: [22080.584112] usb 1-3.2: device not accepting address 13, error -71 [23:16] Apr 6 16:12:37 harris-HP-Pavilion-dv6000-RP296UA-ABA kernel: [22080.584285] hub 1-3:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 2
