| Arnex | ok cats and kittens, if i have ubuntu 13.10 and do an apt-get dist-upgrade at this very moment, will it take me to the 14.04 beta? | 01:47 |
| rww | no | 01:47 |
| rww | !dist-upgrade | 01:47 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 01:47 |
| rww | You're probably looking for do-release-upgrade -d | 01:47 |
| Arnex | yeah, that is what i'm looking for | 01:47 |
| Arnex | same question, but with do-release-upgrade, will it take me to the beta? or will that only be live on the 17th? | 01:48 |
| rww | Arnex: -d = development version = beta | 01:48 |
| Arnex | ah, okay! thanks! | 01:49 |
| vonsyd0w | rww, ubuntu-server 14.04 questions in here, right? | 01:54 |

| abhra | hi, having a little problem with huawei E355 modem.could use as a wifi hotspot but not working as a wired connection. in ubuntu 12.04 with 3.8 kernel (raring lts backport), it worked. otherwise, the wired connection mode does not work with anyother kernel. any help for xubuntu 14.04 will be appreciated. one way to work it in linux mint, xubuntu 13.10 is mentioned here http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=148990 | 06:26 |
| abhra | neither working in ubuntu | 06:27 |
| Aki-Thinkpad | abhra, you will probably have more luck in #xubuntu or #mint tbh. | 06:32 |
| Aki-Thinkpad | abhra, its sort of like going to a redhat channel and asking for centos support (okay Yah they are now the same entity, but you know what I mean :P) | 06:32 |
| rww | They're asking for help with Xubuntu 14.04. #xubuntu doesn't support 14.04, and Mint's channels don't support Xubuntu | 06:33 |
| rww | and #ubuntu+1 supports the dev version of what #ubuntu supports, which is #ubuntu and official flavors | 06:34 |
| abhra | Aki-Thinkpad, though i mentioned about xubuntu 14.04 specifically, but it is not working in ubuntu 14.04 either. moreover, #xubuntu does not support xubuntu 14.04 and i was advised to present the problem here from that channel. and i mentioned linux mint forum, because the solution was mentioned in that forum. that solution worked in both ubuntu and xubuntu 13.10 with 3.11 kernel series. | 06:43 |
| Aki-Thinkpad | abhra, Oh fair enough; | 06:44 |
| Aki-Thinkpad | rww, someone is in a forgiving mood :P | 06:45 |
| rww | cleaning up our bantracker is easier if there are only four bans to track ;) | 06:45 |
| Aki-Thinkpad | ah well goodnight | 07:00 |
| dangelov | hey everyone - i was directed here from the main #ubuntu channel. I'm running 14.04 beta2, on which my internal laptop monitor doesn't work. It worked previously on 13.10, which was unusable because of lack of drivers for my wireless card. I've been looking for solutions online, but haven't found anything yet - i was hoping someone here may be able to help me out | 07:22 |
| KnownSyntax | Is there any way for you to try to see if it is a missing driver for your monitor? For me this happened after awhile but it was a bad "default" choice Ubuntu set on my graphics card. | 07:35 |
| dangelov | the display works just before ubuntu starts booting (i get a purple rectangle) | 07:38 |
| dangelov | xrandr also shows it as connected in output, with the correct resolution/refresh rate | 07:38 |
| dangelov | and so does Displays in system preferences | 07:38 |
| dangelov | would a screenshot of Displays, or a paste of the xrandr output help in narrowing down the problem? | 07:39 |
| efestito | hello, good morning, i'm trying to enable gesture trackpad, (3 or 4 fingers), i have search about it, and the easier way is using a perl-script, but i recieve that -m parameter over synclient is not recognized. (i'm over 14.04). is there other option to do that? | 08:34 |

| tomboy64 | do i want for desktop use the lowlatency kernel or the generic one? | 09:20 |
| ikonia | why would you need low latency ? | 09:28 |
| === quem_ is now known as quem | ||
| zequence | tomboy64: -generic is fine for most things, especially for servers. -lowlatency is fine for most things, but not for servers | 09:35 |
| zequence | another term used for -lowlatency I sometimes see is -desktop | 09:35 |
| zequence | there are only a few cases when you would need -lowlatency - whenever you need to monitor something going into the computer with lowlatency | 09:36 |
| zequence | ..like playing a soft synth with a midi keyboard | 09:36 |
| zequence | -lowlatency has a bit less data throughput (about 10-20% less), but in return, you get higher preemptiveness | 09:37 |
| zetheroo | this seems to indicate that 14.04 will be released with libvirt 1.2.2 ... is this correct? http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/trusty/main/base/libvirt | 09:45 |

| ikonia | dangelov: how about just tell us your issue | 09:48 |
| dangelov | the screen is off, but everything i check indicates that it's on | 09:48 |
| bekks | !nomodeset | dangelov | 09:48 |
| ubottu | dangelov: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 09:48 |
| dangelov | interesante | 09:48 |
| dangelov | alright, i'll try that, thanks | 09:48 |
| dangelov | the screen is off - not black though | 09:49 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: yes - how did you know!? | 09:49 |
| dangelov | do I still want nomodeset, or should I use | 09:49 |
| dangelov | acpi_osi= | 09:49 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: I am all seeing | 09:50 |
| zetheroo | ;) | 09:50 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: a bug has been logged for it already | 09:50 |
| zetheroo | apparently you are :D | 09:50 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: yes, I logged one myself ... | 09:50 |
| bekks | dangelov: for using that parameter, you would have to decode your ACPI DSDT table first, to see the valid values for your specific ACPI implementation. | 09:50 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: maybe worth finding the other bug then and trying to link to it, rather than have 2 bugs for the same thing | 09:51 |
| bekks | dangelov: So unless you know how to do that, you want to use nomodeset first. | 09:51 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: I have not heard anything back about it ... so I thought I might ask the IRC community ... | 09:51 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: you won't hear anything back about it - you have to push it | 09:51 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: it doesn't just get fixed on it's own | 09:51 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: push it!? | 09:51 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: yes, work with people to get it fixed | 09:51 |
| dangelov | bekks: thanks | 09:52 |

| ikonia | zetheroo: ok, so that's a poor bug | 09:52 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: you need to verify it happens in a clean 14.04 isntall | 09:53 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: make sure it happens in the current 14.04 patch level | 09:53 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: why? many people will be upgrading from 13.20 to 14.04 ... | 09:53 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: not link to a pastebin that expires | 09:53 |
| zetheroo | 13.10 | 09:53 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: yes, but finding out if the problem is a core problem, or cause by an ugprade helps | 09:53 |
| zetheroo | o | 09:53 |
| zetheroo | ok | 09:53 |
| ikonia | so people know where to look and can manage it | 09:54 |
| zetheroo | " current 14.04 patch level" ? | 09:54 |
| ikonia | yes, the current distro patch level | 09:55 |
| ikonia | include the error in the bug report, not a link to a pastebin | 09:55 |
| ikonia | forget the auto enchance feature, thats a seperate issue/task | 09:56 |
| zetheroo | ok, well if there is already another similar bug report out there I won't bother re-issuing this one ... | 09:56 |
| ikonia | basically you've just logged a bug that says "help, stuffs broken and missing" | 09:56 |
| ikonia | and then seem surprised that nothing is happening | 09:56 |
| dangelov | just tried nomodeset | 09:58 |
| dangelov | ubuntu now thinks my external monitor is my built-in one | 09:58 |

| dangelov | so - i tried nomodeset and the acpi_osi=, the internal laptop monitor still doesn't want to start | 10:08 |
| dangelov | when ubuntu is booting, when I set the options, the monitor was working up until "initializing ram disk", after which it turns itself off | 10:08 |

| jack | zetheroo: pretty fresh, no upgrade | 11:46 |
| Teduardo | im sure there is a way to go back to the old way | 11:46 |
| Teduardo | on dell hardware it's called em1 and em2, etc | 11:47 |
| zetheroo | Teduardo: with 14.04? | 11:47 |
| Teduardo | they did all of this so that the same port on the same box on 10000 machines are all addressed the same way all the time | 11:47 |
| zetheroo | Teduardo: I have never seen anything other than eth0, eth1, etc ... at least before 14.04 | 11:48 |
| Teduardo | it might only do the em1, em2, thing on redhat, centos.. but the principal is the same; and the p1p2, etc stuff has been happening for a long time at least since 13 | 11:48 |
| Teduardo | it may only do that on add-on ethernet cards though | 11:49 |
| Teduardo | and not built-in | 11:49 |
| Teduardo | p255 doesnt sound like a real device | 11:49 |

| BluesKaj | 'Morning folks | 11:49 |
| zetheroo | before this we had 12.04.4 and it was always ethx | 11:49 |
| Teduardo | weird, the only ones i've seen are like p1p1 and p1p2 and p2p1 and normal things like that, i've never seen a p255 | 11:49 |
| Teduardo | anyway, to answer your question that's just the way it is now =) | 11:50 |

| ikonia | zetheroo: sysv init is dead, stop using bad habbits | 11:53 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: it was the only way that restarting the networking really worked in 12.04.x | 11:54 |
| ikonia | that's just nonsense | 11:54 |
| zetheroo | well "service networking restart" did not work nearly as well ... | 11:54 |
| ikonia | "work nearly as well" | 11:54 |
| ikonia | sorry - that's just nonsense | 11:55 |
| zetheroo | whats the "new" way? :P | 11:55 |
| jack | zetheroo: http://pastebin.com/bMBdH4VY | 11:55 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: sorry, it just didn't ... not for our networking setup anyhow ... | 11:55 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: it did | 11:55 |
| jack | seems like it is an upgraded raring | 11:55 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: it executes the same scripts | 11:55 |
| jack | sorry ;) | 11:55 |
| ikonia | it's black or white, the network is either down or up | 11:55 |
| ikonia | so how can it work "not as good" | 11:56 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: well we got different results with the two commands ... | 11:56 |
| ikonia | the network is either up or down - black/white | 11:56 |
| ikonia | so I don't know how you can get different results | 11:56 |
| zetheroo | the "restart" command I am talking about | 11:56 |
| ikonia | yes, it's either started, or stopped | 11:56 |
| ikonia | so again, I don't know how you can have different results | 11:56 |
| ikonia | but this is nothing to do with 14.04 - it's your lack of understanding | 11:57 |
| ikonia | so I suggest reading the admin guide | 11:57 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: when I made changes to /etc/network/interfaces and then would do "service networking restart" it would fail half the time ... but with "/etc/init.d/networking restart" the network would restart properly (meaning come back up with the updated settings) almost all the time. | 11:59 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: sure sure, whatever | 11:59 |
| zetheroo | That has been my experience - so I continued to use the "/etc/init.d/networking restart" command ... but if your saying that there is a better way that actually WORKS as well with bridging and bonding etc ... then by all means do tell ... | 12:00 |
| zetheroo | ;) | 12:00 |
| ikonia | read the admin guide | 12:01 |
| zetheroo | You talking about the Ubuntu Server Guide? | 12:06 |
| ikonia | that's a good guide | 12:06 |
| zetheroo | because this is what it says in Chapter 1.4 : | 12:06 |
| zetheroo | Now restart networking to enable the bridge interface: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 12:07 |
| zetheroo | Chapter 1.4 is the chapter on Bridging btw ... | 12:07 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: cool, looks like I was following the guide afterall ... :D | 12:08 |
| ikonia | does it really say that in the guide now? | 12:09 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: and again in section 3.2 : | 12:10 |
| zetheroo | After changing the config file you have to restart the dhcpd: | 12:10 |
| ikonia | what's the URL | 12:10 |
| jack | zetheroo: what should i do now? | 12:10 |
| ikonia | I only see the 13.10 server guide | 12:10 |
| zetheroo | sudo /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server restart | 12:10 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/serverguide.pdf | 12:10 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: 12.04 | 12:11 |
| ikonia | not 14.04 | 12:11 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: yes, and I was saying that is what I WAS doing in 12.04.x and you were calling it "nonsense"! :P | 12:12 |
| ikonia | no, I didn't say what you where doing was nonsense | 12:12 |
| ikonia | I said the results you where seeing where nonsense | 12:12 |
| ikonia | that "one worked better" | 12:12 |
| zetheroo | well you called it a "bad habit" ... | 12:12 |
| ikonia | it is a bad habbit | 12:12 |
| ikonia | as system V is dead | 12:13 |
| zetheroo | when in fact it was a perfectly good habit as per the documentation | 12:13 |
| ikonia | the sooner you stop depending on system V scripts the better you'll be | 12:13 |
| zetheroo | uhm ... not yet ... it's got a few day to go ;) | 12:13 |
| ikonia | good luck with it then.... | 12:13 |
| zetheroo | well sure, but it's not a "bad" habit mate! | 12:13 |
| ikonia | it is a bad habbit | 12:13 |
| zetheroo | rubbish | 12:13 |
| ikonia | and don't call me "mate" | 12:13 |
| ikonia | does ubuntu use system V init ? | 12:13 |
| zetheroo | it's how things were done for the past several years with the latest official Ubuntu LTS release as per the documentation ... so it's not "bad" .... it may be old ... but not "bad"! | 12:16 |
| ikonia | does ubuntu use system V init - yes / no | 12:16 |
| ikonia | even in 12.04 - doe it use system v init | 12:16 |
| ikonia | does | 12:16 |
| zetheroo | So now the documentation is wrong!? | 12:16 |
| ikonia | does ubuntu use system v init - yes/no | 12:16 |
| zetheroo | spinning ... just spinning ... :P | 12:16 |
| ikonia | you seem either unwilling or unable to answer the question | 12:17 |
| ikonia | does ubuntu use system v init - yes/no | 12:17 |
| zetheroo | what use is the documentation if people on IRC know better!? | 12:17 |
| ikonia | does ubuntu use system v init - yes/no | 12:17 |
| zetheroo | you yourself pointed to the documentation repeatedly! | 12:17 |
| ikonia | does ubuntu use system v init - yes/no | 12:17 |
| zetheroo | and now you want to skip on over to something else because the documentation does not suite your opinion that documented instructions for the latest official LTS release are "bad" - HA! | 12:18 |
| ikonia | does ubuntu use system v init - yes/no | 12:18 |
| ikonia | if you answer the question, I can actually explain | 12:18 |
| ikonia | but you seem unable to answer this question | 12:18 |
| zetheroo | why don't you just explain? | 12:18 |
| ikonia | but you seem unable to answer this question | 12:19 |
| ikonia | does ubuntu use system v init - yes/no | 12:19 |
| zetheroo | I am not going to answer because I don't know! But I DO know what the docs say ... and if you know better than the docs why then do you refer to them!? | 12:19 |
| ikonia | ok, that's fair enough, you don't know | 12:19 |
| ikonia | that's all you had to say | 12:20 |
| zetheroo | if you know better than the docs why then do you refer to them!? | 12:20 |
| ikonia | so ubuntu doesn't use system V init - it uses upstart, and there are some legacy links to system v init scripts to call the upstart jobs | 12:20 |
| ikonia | to depend commands from an init system that is no longer in user and being maintained with hacks - is a "bad habbit" | 12:20 |
| ikonia | I'm a little dissapointed that the docs seem to reference this still, however I applaud you following them | 12:20 |
| zetheroo | how is anyone reading the docs supposed to know that... or even what that means!? | 12:20 |
| ikonia | what what means ? | 12:21 |
| zetheroo | "ubuntu doesn't use system V init - it uses upstart, and there are some legacy links to system v init scripts to call the upstart jobs" | 12:21 |
| ikonia | ubuntu not using system V init has been well documented for a while | 12:21 |
| ikonia | as you rightly point out though, that is the documented way of calling the upstart jobs, so that's the right way to do it | 12:22 |
| zetheroo | All that is immediately important to me is "how to restart networking" ... and so I lookup the docs and it say xyz .... | 12:22 |
| ikonia | so you did the right thing then | 12:22 |
| zetheroo | ok | 12:22 |
| zetheroo | so now with 14.04 it's different I am guessing | 12:23 |
| ikonia | I suggest you follow the same practce | 12:23 |
| ikonia | practice | 12:23 |
| zetheroo | or maybe it has been since 13.10 or 13.04 ... ?! We tend to only use LTS releases here so I wouldn't know what's going on with 12.10, 13.04 and 13.10 ... | 12:23 |
| ikonia | not the 13.10 docs (which appear to be identical to the 12.04 ones) seem to suggest the same thing | 12:24 |
| zetheroo | in the 13.10 doc I found this under Bridging: sudo service networking restart | 12:24 |
| zetheroo | 12.10 doc also has "sudo service networking restart" under Bridging ... | 12:26 |
| ikonia | you're not using 12.10/13.04 are you ? | 12:27 |
| ikonia | either way it doesn't matter to the 14.04 build | 12:27 |
| zetheroo | no | 12:28 |
| zetheroo | oh, I found the 14.04 giude | 12:28 |
| zetheroo | hmmm .... it says this now: sudo ifup br0 | 12:29 |
| zetheroo | under Bridging ... | 12:29 |
| zetheroo | so no network restart at all ... !? :P | 12:29 |
| zetheroo | seems in other parts of the docs to still use the "service servicename restart" command ... | 12:30 |
| zetheroo | one other thing I could not do like before (with 12.04.x) was ssh into root@hostname ... it will not accept the root password .. so I have to ssh into user@hostname and then su into root ... | 12:32 |
| k1l_ | zetheroo: why dont you use sudo? | 12:32 |
| k1l_ | !sudo | zetheroo | 12:32 |
| ubottu | zetheroo: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 12:32 |
| zetheroo | k1l_: yes that is an option ... but I rather be in as root ... | 12:33 |
| zetheroo | everything I do is as root anyhow ... | 12:33 |
| Rory | zetheroo: You've set a root password, right? | 12:33 |
| zetheroo | Rory: yep | 12:33 |
| k1l_ | ubuntu is build around sudo. so that is the proper ubuntu way. is there a need to be always root? besides old habbits? | 12:33 |
| Rory | zetheroo: If you find yourself always being root, you may want to re-think your linux usage paradigms | 12:34 |
| Rory | zetheroo: Like when Windows Xp made every account an administrator | 12:34 |
| zetheroo | put it this way, if I was not logged in as root 100% of my commands would have to start with "sudo" in front of them | 12:34 |
| zetheroo | so .. is anyone aware of a "new" security feature which prohibits sshing as root on 14.04? | 12:35 |
| ikonia | it should be blocked by default on all distros | 12:35 |
| ikonia | 1.) the root account is locked 2.) the sshd config should disable any root login | 12:36 |
| k1l_ | zetheroo: again: "i need to always be root" means there is something wrong at all. but do as you like, its your system. but be aware that ubuntu is build around sudo | 12:38 |
| k1l_ | zetheroo: see the ssh server config if root login is permitted | 12:38 |
| ikonia | it should be disabled by default, I'm shocked it's not disabled in earlier versions | 12:38 |
| ikonia | (if it's not) | 12:39 |
| zetheroo | ok thanks ... checking now | 12:39 |
| zetheroo | in 12.04.x it was working out of the box ;) | 12:39 |
| ikonia | enabling it will fail many audits, so be aware of your business has any iso standards, this will void pretty much all of them | 12:39 |
| k1l_ | ikonia: root login was enabled so far, dont know if that changed (which i would prefer) | 12:39 |
| Rory | ikonia: It 100% isn't blocked in Ubuntu 12.04, you can ssh as root if you can write a malicious authorized_keys file to /root/.ssh/ | 12:39 |
| ikonia | k1l_: Rory poor | 12:40 |
| Rory | I agree, it's a terrible default to have | 12:40 |
| zetheroo | ok , I see it as being "PermitRootLogin without-password" | 12:40 |
| zetheroo | so with a swap of ssh keys it is still possible then by default!? | 12:40 |
| Rory | zetheroo: Perhaps it disallows password logins, but allows logins with key-based authentication | 12:40 |
| Rory | zetheroo: Try adding your key to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys | 12:41 |
| zetheroo | Rory: yep ... sounds like that | 12:41 |
| zetheroo | Rory: that worked a treat! | 12:42 |
| Rory | zetheroo: I feel dirty | 12:44 |
| zetheroo | ;) | 12:44 |
| zetheroo | jack: if it's not an upgrade why does your sources.list file contain this: "# deb cdrom:[Xubuntu 13.04 _Raring Ringtail_ - Release amd64 (20130423.1)]/ raring main multiverse restricted universe" ? | 12:51 |

| riverloop | Hi, anyone here? I can't do a DUN using Trusty. | 14:31 |
| riverloop | Anyone experiencing same issues? | 14:31 |
| holstein | riverloop: dial up? | 14:33 |
| riverloop | Btw, I'm talking about bluetooth dialup. | 14:33 |
| riverloop | holstein, yeah. | 14:33 |
| hydruid1 | Is it the 17th YET? lol | 14:33 |
| riverloop | It used to work in 12.04. There were issues starting from kernel versions 3.8, however. | 14:34 |
| holstein | sounds awful, riverloop .. i would test as independently as possible | 14:34 |
| riverloop | Disconnecting dialup connection caused kernel panics, but I think it is fixed in the later kernel releases. Haven't got a chance to try 3.10, 3.11, etc. | 14:34 |
| holstein | should be easy to test with live CD's | 14:35 |
| riverloop | I can confirm it used to work in 13.04 (don't know about 13.10) | 14:35 |
| riverloop | My laptop is an Acer Aspire 4736z, and the phone I'm using is a Nokia 5230, if that makes any difference. | 14:35 |
| holstein | riverloop: likely not, unless nokia has promised to support linux for you | 14:36 |
| riverloop | I'm sorry, I don't have a speedy internet connection. I can't do that right now | 14:37 |
| holstein | riverloop: i would test things as independently as possible.. does the phone work? is bluetooth working? USB, etc.. i would try those with live CDs, and just look for bug reports (if any), though, ideally, it would be nokia that could "Fix" this | 14:37 |
| gad-zllang | \Rory | 14:37 |
| holstein | anytime you say "think", just go in and confirm | 14:37 |
| Rory | gad-zllang: Hello, yes? | 14:38 |
| riverloop | If I should test using a live CD, I should download the ISO first, which is impossible with my current connection speed. | 14:38 |
| riverloop | holstein: yes, it works. I use it in 12.04, it works flawlessly. | 14:41 |
| riverloop | I installed 14.04 in another partition yesterday. Pairing the phone works okay. But when I tick the "Access Internet using this phone", it takes forever to detect the phone configuration, and ultimately times out. | 14:41 |
| holstein | riverloop: no need to install anything | 14:42 |
| riverloop | holstein: thanks for a helping mind. :) | 14:42 |
| holstein | riverloop: use the live CD's to test | 14:42 |
| holstein | riverloop: is bluetooth working? if not, the dial up wont | 14:43 |
| gad-zllang | Rory, i just offline . | 14:43 |
| holstein | riverloop: is USB? that would be necesssary as well | 14:43 |
| gad-zllang | i download a oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms source package from code.launchpad.net . but i cannt built it . | 14:43 |
| riverloop | Btw, it's just bluetooth DUN that is not working. Right now I'm using USB DUN from the very same phone. | 14:43 |
| holstein | riverloop: wow.. i know what i would do | 14:43 |
| gad-zllang | when make , it need unpatched-source. | 14:44 |
| holstein | riverloop: since im not guaranteed linux support for the device from the device manufacturer, id just use it with USB | 14:44 |
| holstein | otherwise, i still dont see that you have tested that bluetooth is working.. bluetooth will need to be working for you to use bt DUN | 14:45 |
| riverloop | holstein: Bluetooth is working. | 14:46 |
| riverloop | holstein: I can transfer files to and fro. No problem. | 14:47 |
| riverloop | issue is with dialup only. | 14:48 |
| holstein | id say, other than letting nokia know you are having a hard time, and troubleshooting with live CD's for different kernel versions, i know i would just use USB tether | 14:48 |
| riverloop | Yeah. I tested it using live USB yesterday. Same problem persists for 14.04. | 14:49 |
| holstein | nothing about linux is preventing that from working, but, its also challenging to expect it to facilitate it | 14:49 |
| riverloop | But I have the option of USB dialup, that's why I installed it rightaway. | 14:49 |
| riverloop | But it would be nice to have bluetooth DUN working. I'm not sure many people use bluetooth DUN nowadays. | 14:50 |
| holstein | i think you'll do better finding a user with that actual device | 14:50 |
| holstein | riverloop: this is not even about bt DUN, as far as we know | 14:50 |
| holstein | could be more about that specific device | 14:51 |
| riverloop | holstein: Maybe not. The phone configuration is not detected at all. | 14:52 |
| riverloop | holstein: Yeah, I better find one person using the same phone to connect to a linux box via bluetooth DUN, to access internet. | 14:53 |
| holstein | riverloop: i say, a few mailing lists/forums might help you find those users | 14:53 |
| riverloop | holstein: do you think submitting a bug report would be a better idea? | 14:54 |
| riverloop | holstein: Yeah. Thanks for guiding. I'll surely look into it. | 14:55 |
| holstein | riverloop: ideally, nokia would have a bug program, and you could submit that there.. i really feel like the burden is misplace to expect the linux kernel to provide support for it, since, its not doing anything to prevent that support.. as a matter of fact, its totally welcoming said support | 14:55 |
| holstein | riverloop: but, an official bug support would be a good idea, if there is not already one | 14:55 |
| holstein | !bug | 14:56 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 14:56 |
| holstein | riverloop: if you find one, you may find a user there who is at least doing bt DUN.. not many are.. which is a challenge for you | 14:56 |
| pseubodot | Is the 17 APR release estimate for another RC or for 14.04 proper? | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | pseubodot, it's the official release, not an rc | 15:12 |
| pseubodot | ok | 15:12 |
| pseubodot | thanks | 15:12 |
| pseubodot | I'm working with a colleague through an issue with CUPS on the 14.04 rc | 15:13 |
| pseubodot | intermittant problem when printing from browse. the argument line to gs uses %stdout instead of %stdout% (per docs) | 15:14 |
| pseubodot | browser, rather | 15:14 |
| pseubodot | and the print job dies | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | pseubodot, hmm, if it's a work machine one has to expect problems with a beta release, not recommended to use on the job yet. It's still bit early days for workplace computing. | 15:16 |
| === jack is now known as Guest19178 | ||
| pseubodot | BluesKaj: the best way to prevent bugs is to find them early. :) | 15:17 |
| BluesKaj | pseubodot, agreed, but let the edgy/devel users find the bugs first before committing and that can up to a month after official release IME. | 15:19 |
| BluesKaj | take up to a month | 15:19 |

| pseubodot | edgy ~= equivalent of debian/unstable? | 15:20 |
| darthanubis | window shade broken for anybody? | 15:20 |

| darthanubis | double clicking titlebar shades window but leaves a ghost outline. Only way back to program is by clicking it's icon in the taskbar. Unity. | 15:21 |
| pseubodot | so similar to debian's 'testing' distro then | 15:21 |
| BluesKaj | pseubodot, I imagine so , haven't used debian testing OS in a while | 15:22 |
| pseubodot | Hmm | 15:27 |

| utusan | done prepping 14.04, and ubuntu installer doesn't offer you anymore choice of what disk to install grub. just install to sda which is wrong/bad | 18:31 |
| bekks | how many disks do you have in your system then? | 18:32 |
| utusan | I have 2 and sda happens to be the usb installer | 18:32 |
| utusan | and I want it on sdc | 18:33 |
| HorusHorrendus | anyone knows of a problem with ubuntu 14.04, intel graphic cards, default (sna) acceleration and black boxes in firefox & thunderbird | 18:33 |
| HorusHorrendus | similar to this bug here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68410 | 18:33 |
| ubottu | Freedesktop bug 68410 in Driver/intel "[bisected ivb] Small black box corruption in firefox" [Normal,Resolved: worksforme] | 18:33 |
| HorusHorrendus | switching to uxa acceleration fixes it, but I would like to use sna :) | 18:33 |
| rberg | HorusHorrendus: I have been seeing the same thing, and also strange white lines in kde once and a while | 18:39 |
| HorusHorrendus | rberg: yeah white lines or white boxes ... also in KDE | 18:39 |
| HorusHorrendus | I mean I also use KDE | 18:39 |
| HorusHorrendus | uxa seems to have no such screen artifcats ... so to me it seems very similar to above bug, but ubuntu 14.04 already has a higher intel driver version than stated in this bug | 18:40 |
| trism | HorusHorrendus: somebody linked this bug a couple days ago: bug 1282867 | 18:43 |
| ubottu | bug 1282867 in linux (Ubuntu) "Frequent hang and render glitches in Xorg, caused by SNA" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1282867 | 18:43 |
| trism | HorusHorrendus: the last comment from about 40 minutes ago says the latest mesa (which was updated yesterday) fixes it, have you updated today? | 18:46 |
| HorusHorrendus | trism: thx for the link, yes I updated but been using uxa since yesterday evening | 18:46 |
| trism | HorusHorrendus: although the changelog says "fix rendering in unity" so might not help kde | 18:46 |
| HorusHorrendus | trism: well I can switch back to sna and see ... will follow the bug for the moment | 18:47 |

| pepee | isn't it great? many ubuntu users could benefit (now and in the future) from trusty, simply by using the latest stable kernel... | 18:52 |
| Meerkat | new ubuntu increased the levels of monitor dimming it seems. Now I have to press the button 48 times instead of 6 or 7. :p | 19:00 |
| patdk-wk | Meerkat, should make it easier to just hold it though :) | 19:08 |
| Meerkat | oh. right. i'm an idiot | 19:08 |
| * Meerkat celebrates good changes | 19:09 | |
| beardtree | So I'm updating my computer to 14.04 but my screen went black all of a sudden and I can't Ctrl+Alt+F<n> to get to a virtual terminal. What do I do? | 19:09 |
| Meerkat | ctrl+alt+f2 should be it | 19:10 |
| beardtree | Meerkat: it's black on F1-F7 | 19:11 |
| Meerkat | if it doesn't work you can do a shutdown by typing alt+sysrq+r,e,i,s,u,b | 19:11 |
| beardtree | I know, but I am in the middle of an upgrade and that will likely leave my system in a broken state | 19:11 |
| Meerkat | I had some black screens too after the screen was locked. | 19:12 |
| Meerkat | oh, fuck. | 19:12 |
| Meerkat | you can't wait it out either because the installer holds the upgrade when asking to update certain config files. But maybe you knew that. Crappy situation. | 19:16 |
| beardtree | So what do I do? | 19:20 |
| quem | hmm, i tried installing the latest daily build (ubuntu server) on an old computer with btrfs for /, but the "installing the system" step failed. now i tried with ext4 instead, and it reached 100%. | 19:21 |
| quem | was looking forward to using btrfs for /. :( | 19:21 |
| quem | now i'm a bit discouraged to try it with my NAS server and primary laptop when i install 14.04 on them during the weekend. | 19:22 |
| quem | or not.. the same error just popped up. | 19:23 |
| Meerkat | quem, same error on ext4? | 19:25 |
| quem | yeah. | 19:26 |
| quem | log is very vague.. | 19:26 |
| quem | a few "Unexpected error; command not executed" | 19:26 |
| quem | nothing concrete. | 19:26 |
| quem | i'll try tomorrow's daily build again. | 19:27 |
| rohan | does anyone know when 13.10 will stop being supported? is it right after 14.04 release, or is there a timeframe to upgrade? | 19:48 |
| holstein | rohan: 9 months support on 13.10 | 19:49 |
| holstein | !13.10 | 19:49 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.10 - Read the release notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseNotes | 19:49 |
| holstein | so, should be somewhere around 3 months from now | 19:50 |
| rohan | holstein: so 3 months af | 19:50 |
| rohan | correct | 19:50 |
| rohan | thanks, holstein | 19:50 |
| holstein | cheers | 19:50 |
| rohan | the 14.04 release notes talk about something called "Oxide" -- anyone have any idea what it is? | 19:52 |
| trism | rohan: I think it is the new browser widget, for the ubuntu-touch apps, etc: https://launchpad.net/oxide | 20:14 |
| rohan | trism: interesting, thanks. wonder why they chose to fork chromium -- the chromium browser receives updates in ubuntu anyway | 20:15 |
| rohan | from the QML api i guess | 20:15 |
| CrazyZurfer | hi, downloaded an 14.04 iso but cannot install it | 20:28 |
| CrazyZurfer | right now Ive choosen try it | 20:28 |
| holstein | CrazyZurfer: cool.. let us konw if you have a question | 20:29 |
| CrazyZurfer | but when choosing if I want to delete my ubuntu 13.10 and install or upgrade or delete windows and ubuntu and install... I choose the delete ubuntu 13.10 and install 14.04 but then doesnt give me the option to continue, the button continue seems disabled | 20:29 |
| CrazyZurfer | brb | 20:29 |
| CrazyZurfer | now works | 20:29 |
| CrazyZurfer | this thing is weeeird | 20:30 |
| holstein | CrazyZurfer: you might just not be patient enough for the live media | 20:30 |
| CrazyZurfer | holstein: might be... lol :) | 20:32 |
| CrazyZurfer | I've got a question... which nvidia driver should I use?? should I keep using bumblebee? | 20:32 |
| CrazyZurfer | or ubuntu 14.04 supports nvidia optimus out of the box? | 20:33 |
| beidl | CrazyZurfer: yes it does, you can apt-get install nvidia-prime nvidia-331-updates | 20:50 |
| beidl | and in nvidia settings you can switch between those two. the change requires you to re-login though. | 20:51 |
| beidl | between the two GPUs* | 20:51 |
| rohan | beidl: do you know if nvidia-prime does power management also? i.e. does it shut off the GPU when it's not in use? | 21:10 |
| beidl | rohan: when you select the intel GPU and re-login it deactivates the nvidia GPU through ACPI trickery (using bbswitch) | 21:11 |
| rohan | beidl: so it's still not as seamless as bumblebee, right? | 21:12 |
| beidl | rohan: you can't run 1 app with the intel GPU and the other with the nvidia GPU, but generally the whole DE uses the nvidia GPU | 21:12 |
| beidl | rohan: I actually prefer the nvidia-prime way | 21:13 |
| beidl | rohan: so either you fully run with intel or fully run with nvidia, depending on your setting in nvidia-settings | 21:13 |
| rohan | beidl: and you keep the nvidia card always powered up? | 21:13 |
| beidl | rohan: nope, only when gaming | 21:13 |
| rohan | but you need to logout and back in to start gaming? | 21:14 |
| beidl | rohan: yup. I actually wrote an indicator that requries no password and automatically logs me out | 21:14 |
| rohan | beidl: any reason you prefer this method over bumblebee then? | 21:14 |
| rohan | i am trying to see the advantage :) | 21:15 |
| beidl | rohan: the whole environment is accelerated, not only one specific app | 21:15 |
| rohan | beidl: but you generally don't have the whole environment accelerated, right, you said you have it only when gaming? | 21:16 |
| beidl | rohan: when I'm done gaming, and wanna do something else before shutting down, I notice it :) | 21:17 |
| rohan | fair enough | 21:17 |
| beidl | rohan: when I'm at school, I run on the intel GPU, when I'm home I generally run on nvidia | 21:17 |
| rohan | ah gotcha | 21:18 |
| beidl | rohan: I agree that more flexibility would be nice but it's not that bad :) | 21:19 |
| cmars | anyone getting stuck at "Installing new version of config file /etc/init/systemd-logind.conf ..." on apt-get dist-upgrade? | 21:39 |
| spikebike | nope, what does top show? | 21:41 |
| spikebike | I've done mostly fresh installs and do_release_upgrades | 21:41 |
| cmars | spikebike, from pstree, bash───sudo───apt-get───dpkg───libpam-systemd:───invoke-rc.d───start | 21:43 |
| cmars | sounds like i should open a bug on libpam-systemd | 21:44 |
| danmarnda | hi installing ppa kernel 3.14 and 3.15 make no control over screen brightnes... | 21:57 |
| danmarnda | have anyone any solution? | 21:58 |
| holstein | danmarnda: dont use the ppa.. or ask the ppa maintainer for maintenance | 21:59 |
| k1l | danmarnda: make sure the kernels are build to support that | 21:59 |
| danmarnda | hm I think they are becous it work like one time over 30 | 21:59 |
| danmarnda | just now get back to mineline | 21:59 |
| danmarnda | I think problem is with intel p-state | 22:01 |
| danmarnda | becous when I activate p-state on mineline same problem | 22:01 |
| johnjohn101 | is it ready? | 22:59 |
| ChibaPet | Hello all. I'm wondering if there's a good place to read about changes in the impending 14.04 release. I'm thinking of trying it on a partition on a 13" rMBP/Haswell/Iris. The help wiki talks about 13.10 and while I don't suspect anything huge to have changed, I'm curious. | 23:05 |
| holstein | !14.04 | 23:05 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) will be the 20th release of Ubuntu. See the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295 for more info. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 23:05 |
| holstein | just try it live | 23:05 |
| ChibaPet | Mm, downloading the beta now. I wanted something to read while it comes down, but that seems to be what you linked. Thanks! | 23:06 |
| holstein | i would get the daily | 23:06 |
| ChibaPet | hrm | 23:06 |
| holstein | but, the beta is fine, if you are already getting it | 23:06 |
| holstein | you'll download it one way or the other | 23:06 |
| ChibaPet | I can get the daily... I pulled it from release.ubuntu.com/14.04/ - where would I find a daily ISO? | 23:07 |
| ChibaPet | s/it/the beta/ | 23:07 |
| holstein | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | 23:08 |
| ChibaPet | Oh, hm, yeah - the beta's a bit long in the tooth now I see. | 23:08 |
| ChibaPet | ty | 23:08 |
| holstein | unless someone says theres something wrong with it, and i dont think there is | 23:08 |
| ChibaPet | The web site was noting 14.04 LTS (cloud at least) being released on the 17th - while things can obviously change, historically are desktop/server/cloud released together? | 23:08 |
| johnjohn101 | hopefully not much wrong 2 days before release | 23:09 |
| ChibaPet | Mm. | 23:09 |
| holstein | ChibaPet: all the official versions should release the same day | 23:09 |
| ChibaPet | I'm looking forward to trying it again. It's been a long time since I tried installing Ubuntu on anything. | 23:10 |
| holstein | no reason to. try it live and see how it works | 23:10 |
| holstein | by the time im ready to "try ubuntu", i already have a pretty good idea of how exactly the hardware supports linux | 23:11 |
| ChibaPet | Well. Yeah. I'm happy to do that. I made some space on a disk where it can live, though. :) I'm happy to give it its allotted 50g. | 23:11 |
| holstein | trying it live is just an easy step in the process | 23:11 |
| holstein | no reason not to try it live, and test the audio, wifi, etc.. see what will work how after you install, and if anything will be problematic | 23:12 |
| ChibaPet | I have little faith in laptops lately. Within the last month I've sent back both a ThinkPad T440 and an ASUS ZenBook, both of which had awful problems with SecureBooting Fedora despite my reading reports to the contrary. I think the MacBook will do okay given that reports of it under 13.10 are positive. | 23:12 |
| ChibaPet | Mm, I will happily try the LiveCD tonight. | 23:12 |
| holstein | i have had no luck with macbooks, and i definitely, personally will not get one to run linux on | 23:13 |
| holstein | if i wanted a machine to run linux on, i would get a system76 that is designed for it | 23:13 |
| ChibaPet | I was really feeling hopeful about the ZenBook and it crushed my spirit, so I went for the Mac as a safe fallback. If it works well I'll be happy. | 23:13 |
| holstein | otherwise, its live CD, and careful testing | 23:13 |
| ChibaPet | The problem there is that I wanted an ultrabook with a backlit keyboard, and those are thin on the ground. I probably should have gotten a Dell XPS Developer Edition, but I was reading horror stories about overheating there. | 23:14 |
| holstein | basically, you are taking on the responsibility of a reseller.. a team of experts at apple makes sure that machine works with all the hardware its supposed to work with. and you are saying "no thanks, i'll handle all that on my own" | 23:14 |
| ChibaPet | System76 and (I forget the name) the other popular equivalent both had systems vaguely like what I wanted, but without the backlit keyboard. | 23:14 |
| ChibaPet | Exactly. Hence, 50g partition shaved off the top, and dual-booting. I keep my fallback. :) | 23:15 |
| ChibaPet | As long as I don't melt the hardware I can restore from back-ups easily enough. | 23:15 |
| ChibaPet | Anyway, thanks for the pointers and advice. Heading home, and I'll write out the daily image to a USB stick and give it a run. | 23:16 |
| holstein | cheers | 23:16 |
| CrazyZurfer | should I install bumblebee or ubuntu 14.04 suppors nvidia OPTIMUS out of the box? :) | 23:21 |
| johnjohn101 | ChibaPet: i think you'll like 14.04. rock solid here | 23:22 |
| holstein | CrazyZurfer: i would just try it and see.. bumblebee didnt work for me, but i mauy have the wrong hardware im testing | 23:22 |
| CrazyZurfer | I've an nvidia Geforce 650M | 23:25 |
| holstein | CrazyZurfer: id say, just fire up the live CD and see. if the open driver supports it, you should be able to tell from there | 23:26 |
| CrazyZurfer | well.. 13.10 didn't find anything in additional controllers, now I see a few options.. it says that now X.org x is being used... I'm affraid that installing any other might have the video card on all the time that's dangerous because of the heat | 23:27 |
