IsvaraI just installed onto an SSD drive, and writes are horrendously slow. The errors start at line 1128 of this dmesg output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7958928/07:37
IsvaraI'm guessing there's some special SSD magic I didn't do. Can I do it now, or did I miss something during the install?07:37
koegsIsvara: i would try to use a different sata port and sata cable08:29
Isvarakoegs: Well, well. Third cable I tried and it seems to be working now.09:00

xubuntu410Excuse me, will xubuntu 14.04.1 be available for install via the Update Manager?14:54
wulong710 hello. My wireless is at9287. It is unstable,  disconnect internet after running for a while. Ubuntu14.04 show me error  "ath: phy0: Failed to stop TX DMA, queues=0x18f!".   Error log is here:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2237796. Anyone had met this problem?14:55
xubuntu410wulong710: looks like you're getting good support on the forum.14:57
james0r2xubuntu410, yeah. i think 14.04.1 is just 14.04 + packages upgrades since that time.14:57
xubuntu410jamesOr2: Probably.  But it's not available as an upgrade from the Update Manager, only 12.10.14:58
xubuntu410jamesOr2: I thought it should be available after the first point release.14:58
wulong710 wulong710: yes .I found it one minite ago. Thank you .14:59
james0r2xubuntu410, and you're on what version now?15:03
xubuntu41012.0415:04
xubuntu410(Sorry, neglected to mention that.)15:04
xubuntu410"Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS"15:04
GridCube!12.0415:04
ubottuXubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current !LTS release of Xubuntu.  Download at http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu  Release notes at http://xubuntu.org/news/12-04-release/15:04
james0r2ahh. yeah. then you're supposed to get the LTS notification.15:04
xubuntu410Yeah, and I've checked the box in Update Manager -> settings.15:05
xubuntu410If I set it to "tell me about any new release", it tells me about 12.10.15:05
xubuntu410If I set it to "tell me only about LTS release", it doesn't say anything is available.15:06
james0r2looks like the the omg ubuntu forum there are some folks saying they aren't getting the notification either.15:06
james0r2not sure.15:06
* xubuntu410 is glad it isn't just him.15:06
GridCubeLTS will only give LTS release updates15:06
* xubuntu410 nods.15:06
GridCubeyou wont get 12.10, nor 13.04, nor 13.10, just 14.0415:06
xubuntu410That's what I want.15:07
GridCubethen do sudo do-release-upgrade15:07
xubuntu410Great, I'll give that a go, thanks!15:07
xubuntu410Checking for a new Ubuntu release No new release found15:07
GridCubemmm15:08
GridCubego to the settings manager and look for "software and updates"15:08
james0r2you on an up-to-date repo?15:08
xubuntu410Just got patches on libc stuff this morning.15:09
xubuntu410There is no "Software and Updates" in the settings manager.15:09
GridCubethere go to the third tab "updates" there check that the "notify on updates"is check to Long term releases"15:10
GridCubexubuntu410, launch software-properties-gtk from a terminal15:10
xubuntu410Got it.  It is indeed set to "For long-term support versions".15:11
GridCubeweird15:11
GridCubechange it to any?15:11
GridCubei don't know if thats recomendable tho15:12
xubuntu410If I change that to "For any new version", then update, I get notified about 12.10.15:12
GridCubemmm15:12
GridCubein the first tab are you using the main ubuntu repos?15:12
xubuntu410So I'm thinking there's a trigger it's looking for somewhere in xubuntu land that it's not finding.15:12
xubuntu410Top four boxes are checked.15:12
GridCubeyeah, but the "download from"15:13
GridCubemaybe the repo you are using has not mirrored the new release?15:13
GridCubesorry im guessing here15:14
xubuntu410Download from: "Server for United States".15:14
xubuntu410GridCube: I appreciate the guesses, thanks.  (:15:14
GridCubexubuntu410, mmm that should have it, try changing it to a different one?15:14
xubuntu410Changing it to "Main server" doesn't have the desired result.15:15
james0r2xubuntu410, you tried main server, updated and checked upgrades already?15:16
xubuntu410Yes.15:17
xubuntu410Trying a few different ones just in case...15:17
GridCubexubuntu410, sorry, i would suggest you to fill a bug report agains do-release-upgrade and state your case15:17
xubuntu410Will do.  E-mail?15:18
xubuntu410Or is it on launchpad?15:19
GridCubexubuntu410, it would be ubuntu-bug do-release-upgrade15:20
GridCubebut first try this15:20
GridCubesudo do-release-upgrade -d15:20
xubuntu410Ah, got it, thanks.  (:15:20
xubuntu410Somethings working....15:22
xubuntu410Just not sure what it is yet....15:22
GridCube-d is for --devel version, it should work15:22
xubuntu410"Do you want to start the upgrade?"15:22
xubuntu410Not sure what upgrade it's suggesting.15:22
GridCubedid you remember to change the setting to long term realease back in the settings?15:23
GridCubeif you did then its proposing 14.04 to you15:23
xubuntu410Getting out of that, and now update manager is notifying me of many new updates.15:23
xubuntu410authenticate 'trusty.tar.gz' against 'trusty.tar.gz.gpg'15:24
GridCube!trusty15:24

xubuntu410"nvm"?15:25
GridCubenevermind15:25
xubuntu410Oh.15:25
xubuntu410So how do I kick this upstairs now?15:25
GridCubesorry?15:25
xubuntu410Should I report this as a bug still?15:26
xubuntu410Strange that it works only in devel version.15:26
xubuntu410Schrodinbug.15:27
GridCubemaybe, i don't know, i don't think it would harm if you report it :) probably theres a report already tho15:27
xubuntu410Oh, it's not devel mode for the tool.  It's installing a devel release.15:28
xubuntu410So it looks like 14.04.1 hasn't been marked as stable yet.15:29
GridCubemmhm, that might be it15:30
xubuntu410Meh, it'll do.15:30
xubuntu410If I hit bugs then it'll help make it stable.15:31
xubuntu410Thank you for your help!15:31
GridCubeno problem15:32
xubuntu410GridCube: upgrade completed with some errors.  Gonna kick the box now and see how she does.  If you don't hear from me again, all is well.  Thanks again!  (:15:48

HedgeworkAbove all else, choose your graphics card carefully. :)18:27

xubuntu801no fun replacing caps on motherboard18:37
ali1234it's fairly easy to do and you can buy a kit with all the right caps18:37
ali1234probably not worth it now though, the kit would cost more than the PC is worth18:37

missionhow can I post a feature request for the next xubuntu release? :D21:11
Hedgeworkmission: That would either go in an issue tracker...which one (Xubuntu, Ubuntu, some smaller *buntu team, or upstream) depends on the request...if you expand we can point you in the right direction.21:15
Hedgeworkmission: also, if in doubt, patches are welcome ;)21:16
elfymission: first place would be the -devel mailing list, xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com but also read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Processes release cycle21:20
missionThank you! There is just 1 thing I really miss: the "Wacom Tablet" GUI tool from Ubuntu. For some reason it doesn't start in Xubuntu21:21
Hedgeworkmission: have you looked for it in the repos?21:24
missionit's available in the Ubuntu Software Center as 'Wacom Tablet' but it doesn't seem to work with XFCE :(21:27
elfythat would probably be a bug then mission :)21:29
elfyhave you tried running it from a terminal?21:29
brainwashyou've already filed a bug report some time ago21:30
brainwashbug 132527421:30

brainwashit this the same issue?21:31
elfythanks brainwash21:34
missionyup it's the same one :( still no idea how to make it to work21:39
brainwashmission: so, the "Wacom Tablet" GUI tool from ubuntu is actually an applet for the gnome control center21:51
brainwashtherefore, it will be only visible in the gnome control center21:55
mission:( does it mean I'd have to ask XFCE team to include a similar solution instead?21:55
brainwashnot sure if there is any similar solution21:56
brainwasha solution which does not heavily depend on GNOME or KDE libraries and running daemons21:57
brainwashyou should be able to install the gnome control center (+ additional packages for the wacom applet) in xubuntu21:57
brainwashhopefully it will work just fine :)21:58
xubuntu929Hi all -- I have a question about session manager -- does anyone have any expertise?21:58
missionI think I'm gonna try, but could it break my desktop anyhow? :D21:58

elfyI can boot a vm to check21:59
brainwashmission: well, it could mess with your desktop21:59
brainwashadachan: just ask your actual question22:01
adachani am running some rsyncs that will take weeks to complete (TBs and TBs)22:02
adachanand id like to not have to restart these evertime i log in -- if I use xrdp i can save this session but xrdp is quite buggy22:02
adachanive noticed that the session manager doesnt really seem to save the session, but rather the apps that were running -- is this correct, or am I doing something wrong?22:03
brainwashyes, it basically just launches the previous apps and tries to assign them to the correct workspace if possible22:03
adachanahhh -- ok thats perfect - it wont do what I want, but good to know22:04
adachanthanks!22:04
koegsadachan: if you want to keep the rsync process running, why not start it in a screen/tmux/byobu-session?22:06
adachanthe process does keep running when i exit the ssh Y session that i forward xfce-desktop22:08
adachanbut i can never get back into this when i log in again22:08
adachanim not familiar with screen/tmux/byobu -- can you give a quick description of what it does?22:09
koegsif you start the rsync in a byobu-session, it will keep running if you just "detach" from the byobu-session22:10
adachancan that session be logged into from multiple systems22:10
koegsyes, indeed22:10
