elfyhi dkessel12:10
balloonsgood morning all13:30
elfyhi balloons13:31
balloonsI beginning to wonder if it's just me that has issues with hard drives. My new drive containing /home failed yesterday13:32
elfy:|13:32
balloonsI'm beginning to wonder if I need to replace cables again or something13:32
pittiballoons: if it's any consolation, I also got tons of scary "ata1:" error messages with following oopses/freezes/fs corruption yesterday :/13:46
pittiI wonder if that's actually a hw problem or a kernel bug13:46
balloonspitti, hmm, that's kind of coincidental13:49
* balloons replaced the cables13:49
* dkessel wonders "should i really use utopic on my real hardware at home at this point"?14:01
dkesseli should really do that backup i am postponing every week...14:01
charlesalesage, elopio, now that I've seen the new indicator navigation in action, you do have a point about the visibility question:14:04
charlesalesage, elopio, the definition of "visibility" has changed, so we're talking about two separate things here14:04
charlesalesage, elopio, the idea is for the transfer, location, message, bluetooth indicators to not be shown in the top icon bar when they don't have anything in them14:05
charlesalesage, elopio, but they should *always* be visible in the new indicator navigation regardless of their visibility in the top icon bar14:05
charlesalesage, elopio, so the new navigation (which IMO is very cool!) has a bug there, it should ignore the indicators' visibility flags and use them unconditionally14:06
charlesI'm not seeing an existing bug report on this yet14:07
alesagecharles when this came up yesterday I think we were just wanting to make sure that the test plan reflects the design FWIW14:48

elfyballoons: do you know what's going on with the tracker - Final's keep disappearing15:51
balloonselfy, what's disappearing?16:00
elfyhttp://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker16:02
elfyno Final16:03
wxlwonder if this will get fixed before final :( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/138077416:30
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1380774 in debian-installer (Ubuntu) "debian-installer does not find kernel" [High,Confirmed]16:30
balloonselfy, no final will exist there unless posted16:33
wxlso rc is ready to go or not?16:33
balloonshttp://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ certainly has it. For packages, we haven't done intermeadiate milestones16:33
elfyballoons: ok - so please point to me where I can send people to report either the RC or the Final16:34
balloonshttp://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/325/builds16:34
elfyand now it's got builds on it16:34
balloonsthe milestone is called final. It's the last milestone.. it's been called RC in the past but hasn't been done so for a bit16:34
elfyI'm telling you that keeps disappearing16:35
wxlok so it's official16:35
balloonselfy, lol.. I don't NOT believe you, but I've not seen any disappearance16:35
elfyand it WAS on the front page before you got up16:35
elfyI'm getting really fedup with the tracker :|16:36
elfyoh16:39
elfyballoons: I apologise - I kept grabbing the packages one - I'm an idiot16:40
elfyno wonder I thought it kept disappearing :(16:40
balloonselfy, no worries. It's easy to get confused16:41
* elfy casts about for something to blame and settles on the new firefox tab page - packages is where images was lol16:42
balloonselfy, so https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1378423 still exists for me16:55
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1378423 in xorg (Ubuntu) "Virtualbox boots to black screen with daily" [Undecided,Confirmed]16:55
wxlballoons: with ubuntu or xubuntu or what? no issues with me on lubuntu oddly16:55
balloonsubuntu16:55
wxlinteresting that16:56
wxlwe all use lightdm no?16:56
elfyballoons: confirmed16:57
balloonselopio, can you +1 this before I merge? https://code.launchpad.net/~nskaggs/reminders-app/fix-1381828/+merge/23851917:04
wxlmaybe it's a GPU issue17:04
balloonselfy, does it affect xubuntu?17:04
elfyyes - I did say :)17:04
elfyI'll drag down the lubuntu image and see if I see it17:04
wxli'm grabbing xubuntu now to confirm the problem17:04
balloonsright.. so that rules out gpu issue for me; if it doesn't affect lubuntu17:05
wxlgmta ;)17:05
wxlwell it CAN'T be a lightdm issue. that makes no sense.17:05
elfyit might be that it's host issue - I assume balloons like me is hosting on 14.10 not 13.0417:05
wxlif it IS an xorg issue it would seem it would have to be some sort of driver issue17:05
wxli'm on 14.04 fwiw17:05
balloonsindeed very much so. Could be a vbox thing too17:05
elfyballoons: previous issues with vbox didn't appear on other vm tools afaik17:06
* balloons notices new update for vbox from source17:06
wxlyep17:06
wxlgrabbing 4.4.18-96516 while i'm at it17:06
wxl4.3!17:07
balloonswhat version do you run now wxl ?17:08
wxli had 4.3.16-95972 balloons17:08
* wxl is so happy to have more ram in his work computer so he can run multiple vms at a time and still do regular work ;)17:09
elfyballoons: with lubuntu I get menu at the start asking to choose try or install - not the try/install dialogue that xubuntu and ubuntu get later in the livesession boot17:13
wxli assume this fails on live boot or do i need to install first?17:13
wxlelfy: that's normal17:13
wxlit's a feature :)17:13
elfywxl: it's before you get to the desktop - you get just a black screen - vt1 and then vt7 and you should get the try/install dialogue17:14
elfywxl: yea - perhaps that's why you don't get the same issue17:14
wxlic17:14
wxlwell let me confirm xubuntu first elfy17:14
wxli booted to the try/install. does the bug come earlier?17:15
=== roadmr is now known as roadmr_afk
wxloic you get the try/install only after flipping vts17:16
wxli didn't have to do that17:16
elfyyea17:16
wxlbooted right to it17:16
wxlso it MAY be a gpu issue of some kind after all17:16
wxland/or driver17:16
elfybiab17:16
wxli am using 386 too17:17
wxlso i wonder if it's just amd64?17:17
elopioballoons: +1'ed17:18
elfyballoons: ok - so Xubuntu and Ubuntu in vbox - vt1 then 7 and it works - Kubuntu - nada, nothing, zilch :(17:25
elfyfail17:25
elfyKubuntu is the same here as Xubuntu and Ubuntu17:26
wxlany of you have i386 machines?17:27
elfynope17:27
wxli have a real suspicion that's the problem17:27
elfywell ... not working ones anyway - they're in the attic lol17:27
wxlthat amd64 is the issue17:27
wxlheheheh17:27
wxlsend it over :)17:28
wxloops wrong channel :/17:28
elfy:)17:37
elfyballoons: at least hardware works ok - this could be worse :D17:38
=== roadmr_afk is now known as roadmr
wxlwell we got the d-i issue fixed if we can pull down the new apt from debian https://bugs.launchpad.net/apt/+bug/138077419:18

Letozaf_balloons, hi19:42
* Letozaf_ oops need to reboot19:43
Letozaf_balloons, I have just installed ubuntu amd64 on a VM and after reboot I have very low resolution 640x480, have you already reported a bug ?19:56
balloonsLetozaf_, hey.. I haven't yet seen that. I'm about to do a real hw install, but I can do a vm first to see20:03
Letozaf_balloons, :) I have another weired thing: my Virtualbox VM has no menu's I wanted to try to install virtualbox guest additions20:05
Letozaf_balloons, to see if that changes something20:06
elfyI can confirm 640x480 after install - have seen that for a large part of the cycle - but given all the other vbox issues - it didn't seem that big an issue against those - guest additions installs fine20:07
Letozaf_balloons, have you got the VM's menus on Virtualbox ?20:07
Letozaf_elfy, hi20:07
balloonsLetozaf_, what do you mean?20:07
Letozaf_elfy, but have you got the VM's menus ?20:07
* balloons noted nothing in vbox boots. Trying qemu20:07
Letozaf_balloons, well when your VM is started you got the VM's menu for chosing to install VM additions, attach a device ect...20:08
elfyLetozaf_: have menus here - using Xubuntu20:09
Letozaf_elfy, I have Ubuntu amd6420:09
balloonsqemu works fine ;-)20:09
Letozaf_elfy, balloons so I am unable to install Virtualbox guest additions20:09
elfyballoons: good20:10
elfyLetozaf_: try host+D20:10
* elfy can see menu and shortcuts :)20:10
elfyrightctrl+D that is by default20:11
Letozaf_elfy, thanks that worked :) but menus are still missing :P20:11
elfy:)20:11
elfyuse Xubuntu ;)20:11
Letozaf_elfy, hah! could be, but I am an Ubuntu fan :p20:13
elfy:)20:13
Letozaf_elfy, mabye I could install Xubuntu on my laptop :P20:13
elfyI've had just about enough of vbox for one cycle it's got to be said - one thing after another lol20:15
Letozaf_balloons, I managed to install Virtuabox guest additons, but nothing changes, I have the same low resolution20:22
* Letozaf_ is thinking to leave Virtualbox and star using qemu :P20:26
Letozaf_start20:26
balloonslol Letozaf_20:26
Letozaf_balloons, what happened to poor Virtualbox it looks a bit distraught :P20:28
elfyLetozaf_: it caught a cold somewhere round about May and it's not got rid of it ...20:28
Letozaf_elfy, oooh! looks like I have been too busy with autopilot if I found out only now :P20:29
Letozaf_elfy, didn't realize i was not using Virtualbox for sooooo long :P20:30
elfyoh it's been driving me up the wall - and I've been doing the same to balloons I think :D20:31
Letozaf_LOL20:31
Letozaf_elfy, but have you reported bugs about this ?20:32
elfyoh yes20:32
Letozaf_elfy, ok so no use I do it too :P if you got the bug number handy I can confirm it (if this is of some use)20:32
elfywhich bug Letozaf_20:32
elfythe only current one I have is bug 137842320:33
ubot5bug 1378423 in xorg (Ubuntu) "Virtualbox boots to black screen with daily" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/137842320:33
elfyall the others have been fixed20:33
Letozaf_elfy, oO fixed ? how come I am having issues :P20:33
balloonsas soon as one is fixed, more appear it seems20:35
elfyballoons: that sums it up20:35
Letozaf_balloons, ok so I will try to see if someone has reported this bug otherwise I will, right ?20:35
elfyLetozaf_: I'm confused as to which bug here?20:36
Letozaf_elfy, sorry :) I meant that the menus are missing20:36
elfyaah - well I'd not see that one :)20:36
Letozaf_elfy, :)20:37
balloonsLetozaf_, if you menu like the file menu and such, try maximizing and restoring the window20:37
balloonsthere is a bug for that20:37
balloonsif you have in window menus20:37
* elfy has vague recollection of someone talking about menu's missing in Ubuntu recently20:37
Letozaf_balloons, I have already tried to maximize the window but nothing changes20:37
Letozaf_balloons, I got them back!!! I pressed ctrl+c20:38
Letozaf_balloons, to exit from scale mode20:38
elfythat's not a bug - that's pebkac :D20:39
Letozaf_elfy, what is pebkac ?20:39
elfyproblem exists between keyboard and chair  :D20:40
Letozaf_balloons, in scale mode no menus when I exit scale mode the menus come back20:40
Letozaf_balloons, what a tiny VM :P I am already blind... if I have to have such a small VM I will go even blinder :P20:41
balloonselfy, ROFL.. I love it20:42
balloonsnever heard that20:42
elfyreally?20:42
Letozaf_elfy, :O lol20:43
elfyLetozaf_: I agree that 640x480 isn't much use - but I tend to do the install checks - small's ok for those - then do guest adds before the post install20:43
Letozaf_elfy, guest addons did not work for me20:44
Letozaf_elfy, still got a tiny tiny VM20:44
elfyyea :(20:44
elfyat least that one is ubuntu specific20:45
Letozaf_elfy, lol20:45
elfywe've got Xubuntu specific one - and it doesn't appear that we're going to see it fixed in time20:46
Letozaf_ok guys I must go it's getting late, I will be back tomorrow20:49
balloonsLetozaf_, cheers. We'll be at this all week, hehe20:50
Letozaf_good night everyone :-)20:50
Letozaf_balloons, yeah right :)20:50
