NET||abusemorning folks, im' in a bit of a pickle today, got an update i think in the last day or two, when i boot up thismorning,, unity isn't appearing,08:36
NET||abuseI get my wallpaper, and no titlebar, dock or anything08:37
NET||abusei can ctrl+alt+t and get a chromelses window up.08:37
NET||abuseI have been using bumblebee/stable and edgers ppa's to get the optimus setup working.08:39
NET||abusei'm in a tty using tmux to work for now :(08:39
popeypurge the edgers ppa?08:44
popeyand see if it works with the repo packages only?08:44
popey(morning btw)08:44
NET||abuse:) yeh, was just thinking that.08:45
NET||abusei'm  a little googless right now, how do i purge a ppa out of the rpeo's?08:45
NET||abuseor is just rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xorg-edgers-ppa*08:46
NET||abuse?08:46
bigcalmNo08:51
NET||abuseno? uh oh?08:51
bigcalmOne moment08:51
NET||abusei've already mv'd the xor-edgers repo out of my repo sources.d08:52
NET||abusedid apt-get clean && apt-get update08:52
bigcalmhttps://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa08:54
bigcalm"To revert to official packages, install the ppa-purge package and run "sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers". Note: This currently has issues in oneiric because ppa-purge there does not work with multiarch. ppa-purge packages from this PPA do purge correctly on precise and newer."08:54
NET||abusenow just purged bujblebee, primus{-libs{:amd64|i386|-ia32}}  and nvidia-{libopencl1-|opencl-icd|settings-}33108:56
bigcalmInstall nvidia-current and go from there08:57
NET||abusehad to install the ppa-purge command08:58
NET||abusei'm on 13.10 i should add08:58
bigcalmAh08:58
bigcalmMove to 14.0408:58
bigcalmIt'll work a lot better08:58
NET||abuseI'd like to as soon as i have a break08:58
NET||abusemight get to it this weekend.08:58
NET||abusei just need to get back to work for today08:59
NET||abusejust get my video card working again, then get an external usb3 disk and backup and do a fresh install09:00
NET||abuseanyway, to retain my steam library between updates?09:00
NET||abusethat would be useful.09:00
NET||abuseok, i got runningn again without any driver re-install09:03
NET||abusewhat driver am i running on?09:03
NET||abuselooks like removing nvidia and bumblebee and doing that ppa-purge, it's reverted to likely just the intel driver09:05
NET||abuseso i have teh intel HD4600 and nvidia GT 750M on the lappy.09:05
NET||abusesomehow it's running09:06
NET||abusehow do i even determine what driver it's running?09:06
NET||abusethat is odd, somehow it's reverted to the intel driver on it's own09:08
NET||abusedidn't think it could do that without bumblebee09:08
popeyNET||abuse: i would upgrade to 14.04 rather than re-install.09:09
NET||abusehmm, maybe09:09
NET||abusewould save a bit of hastle09:09
NET||abuseoh, but the other think is i want to add LUKS encryption to my disk09:09
NET||abuseor whatever encryption i can that will not break my windows 8 partition too09:09
NET||abusethe one and only thing i use that partition for is steam games that dont work on linux yet09:10
NET||abuseeg. Total War Rome II, and Chivalry09:10
NET||abuse:P09:10
NET||abusebut need to encrypt my "work" partition asap09:10
NET||abuseso worth doing a clean install just to get that much done.09:11
NET||abusethen again, could i be arsed :)09:12
NET||abuseif the inplace update will work, maybe i'm lazy enough to live with it.09:13
xplora1alsmod | grep drm shpuld show you what modules are loaded to do display09:17
NET||abusegives me back   drm                   297056  6 i915,drm_kms_helper09:17
NET||abuseso yeh, using the intel driver09:17
NET||abusecool now i know.09:18
NET||abuseso i'm just nvidia'less till i get an optimus /bumblebee setup working again..09:18
NET||abuse:( no counterstrike for me09:18
NET||abuse14.04 does seem like a good idea09:19
NET||abuseanyone had any luck with a gnome3 beside unity seutp on 14.04 yet?09:19
xplora1aso is the intel (i915) on the moterboard and you also have a nvida card installed?09:19
NET||abusewant ot switch a bit,09:19
NET||abusexplora1a: yeh, it's an optimus configuration09:19
NET||abusealot of laptops have this now09:19
xplora1aNET||abuse: ok so I am behind the times on that09:20
NET||abuseyou have the haswell intel chipset and the discrete nvidia card, nvidia have supported windows drivers to seamlessly switch up to to nvidia when graphicaly intesive stuff is started,09:20
NET||abusebumblebee is the project that does per application switching.09:21
NET||abuseand primus is the all nvidia all the time tool09:21
NET||abuseyou can boot your whole environment with primus, so everything is on the nvidia card,09:21
NET||abuseor else you boot on the intel chipset and use optirun (part of bumblebee i beleive) which uses primus as the wrapper to run a single application, so that window only is accellerated on nvidia card09:22
NET||abusebbswitch is the mechanism behind it i believe.09:22
xplora1aok just reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Optimus about this.09:23
NET||abuseproblem i have i think, is that when the nvidia update came in, libGL.so for intel got overwritten by the nvidia version, so when unity tried to run on the intel one, it couldn't get 3d accelleration as it was the wrong libGL09:23
NET||abuseso I got no unity decoration :(09:23

shaunoinsert coffee to continue?12:50
diddledanis there a downside to injecting coffee directly into the veins?12:54
shaunoI'm not actually sure.  but I did find out you can't sell it as such because there's too much natural variation12:58
shaunoI have before pondered using saline solution instead of water in an espresso machine though.  Couldn't come up with a sensible solution that wouldn't cake up the boiler12:59

NET||abusehmm, trying to get a vpn client working for vpnc,, cisco asa 5505 on the server side.15:58
NET||abuseusing vpnc on command line, it asks me for my user password twice.15:59
NET||abusenot sure what else is going wrong.16:00
NET||abuseok, wrote /etc/vpnc/myvpn.conf  put the basic values in there, "vpnc-connect myvpn" works16:09
NET||abusewhat's different?16:09
bigcalmNET||abuse: having the connection details in a file makes things a lot simpler. I've never had it ask for my password twice16:24
bigcalmOne does need to be root to make the connection though16:25
bigcalmThat said, the one VPN that needs vpnc doesn't appear to be working today. I have a feeling my credentials may have been scrubbed from the client's system :)16:27

lubotu3bug 269904 in Compiz "Screen refresh problems with nvidia cards" [Unknown,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/26990417:11
daftykinsthose are some pretty old drivers17:17
Armag3dd0nSup18:23
daftykinshello18:24
diddledanewwo18:29
diddledanthat bug above. why does canonical require a cla for compiz? I thought that was open source18:36
diddledanmy point being that anyone can add code to compiz but canonical won't benefit unless each author accepts the cla? won't the compiz authors just say burger off?18:39
daftykinshmm, i'm working on setting up a standard wordpress install on a new 14.04 64-bit server someone has18:53
daftykinsso if this time i'll just add their username to the group www-data then chmod g+w to /var/www/html/ (as i see the path has changed since 10.04) that'll be fine right?18:54
daftykinsthough, technically i only need to change the group permissions to add write permissions to .../wp-content/ ? :)18:54

Monotokodaftykins, that should be fine19:12
Monotokoit's what I tend to do too19:12
daftykinsMonotoko: thanks :) i have this friend with a paid-for wordpress theme, which in the past seemed to have issues performing this auto gallery-image resizing19:13
daftykinsas long as i create wp-content/uploads and apply permissions such that his user and www-data can both read+write i'd hope to not trip up19:13
daftykinsbut we shall see how it goes, shortly19:13
daftykinsooh-err 8pm already19:13
daftykinswait... /var/www/html/index.html is owned by root yet displays, heh19:28
daftykinsinteresting development19:28
diddledandaftykins o+r19:30
daftykinsdid i mix up group and world?19:30
daftykinssurely g+w adds write permissions to the group?19:30
diddledanyes19:30
diddledanyou said that index.html is viewable. that means it's world readable or at least readable to www-data19:31
daftykinsoic sir19:31
daftykinsyes it is indeed, looks to be 64419:31
daftykinsall the wordpress files are now in, i've changed those to www-data:www-data and they're 644 too19:32
daftykinsdoes that sound wise?19:32
daftykinsseems ok to me19:37
