| LinDol | hi all | 01:13 |
| darkxst | Noskcaj, thanks, though currently empathy is the only thing in main that requires it? no? | 04:58 |
| Noskcaj | i think i saw something else, forget what | 04:59 |
| Noskcaj | g-clocks, g-maps, empathy, all the variations of webkitgtk | 05:00 |
| darkxst | first two are universe | 05:01 |
| darkxst | Noskcaj, it wouldnt hurt to list all packages in main that have upstream support | 05:02 |
| darkxst | but are currently built against geoclue 1 | 05:03 |
| Noskcaj | ok | 05:03 |
| Noskcaj | g-s-d also carries a revert | 05:10 |
| darkxst | the more the better | 05:16 |
| darkxst | though g-s-d is only in main for the schemas these days | 05:17 |
| darkxst | what about the qt5 positioning thing? | 05:17 |
| Noskcaj | ? | 05:19 |
| darkxst | libqt5positioning5-plugins | 05:19 |
| darkxst | seems odd that qt5 would be using obsolete libraries, but maybe it just is | 05:19 |
| Noskcaj | i'll look into it | 05:25 |
| darkxst | ok | 05:28 |
| GnomieHomie | Hi, I've been using Ubuntu 14.04, upgraded to 14.10 today and my system hangs on boot. | 08:49 |
| GnomieHomie | I see the start-up splash screen, then with all 3 dots highlighted, it hangs. | 08:49 |
| GnomieHomie | My system uses a Asus Maximus VI Hero motherboard, intel 4770k and Sapphire/AMD HD 7950. Nothing is overclocked (except the ram by just a little bit... to match the specs on the box it came in). | 08:50 |
| GnomieHomie | I normally use the official AMD drivers, rather than the OSS ones. | 08:51 |
| GnomieHomie | I can't boot to rescue mode - it won't bring up a terminal, etc, it just stops after a certain line. Currently, I'm using an live disc to access the system. | 08:52 |
| GnomieHomie | The last line that shows in rescue mode is: [ 2.464692] Switched to clocksource tsc | 08:53 |
| GnomieHomie | /var/log/dmesg shows the following after that line. | 08:53 |
| GnomieHomie | [ 2.575723] init: Error while reading from descriptor: Broken pipe [ 2.577537] init: failsafe main process (855) killed by TERM signal | 08:53 |
| GnomieHomie | .. and some other stuff that doesn't look suspect (though, I'm not sure if those lines I've pasted, are from me turning the PC off) | 08:54 |
| GnomieHomie | Pulling my hair out, open to any suggestions please :) | 08:55 |
| GnomieHomie | gdm log's last line is: /usr/bin/X: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: LoadExtension | 08:56 |
| mgedmin | GnomieHomie, the 'failsafe ... killed by TERM' is normal, it doesn't break boot | 09:01 |
| mgedmin | the fglrx_drv error is definitely very suspicious | 09:01 |
| mgedmin | my laptop has intel video so I've no familiarity with amd's proprietary drivers | 09:01 |
| GnomieHomie | hmm, ok | 09:01 |
| mgedmin | can you check if the package versions you've got are up to date? | 09:02 |
| GnomieHomie | mgedmin: if it's display drivers, I could try reinstall/check for update, but for that, I would need to boot the system somehow. | 09:02 |
| mgedmin | how are you accessing the log files? | 09:02 |
| GnomieHomie | live disc | 09:03 |
| mgedmin | nm, found it in backlog | 09:03 |
| mgedmin | you can use chroot to install/remove packages | 09:03 |
| GnomieHomie | no idea how I would do that, any tips on what I should be googling (or want to tell me what to do)? Thanks. | 09:03 |
| mgedmin | open a terminal and sudo chroot /path/to/where/your/system/root/is/mounted /bin/bash | 09:05 |
| GnomieHomie | neato. | 09:05 |
| mgedmin | in there I'd run apt-show-versions | grep -v uptodate | 09:05 |
| mgedmin | to see if there are any packages not matching the version in ubuntu archives (outdated or locally installed or anything) | 09:05 |
| mgedmin | you may need to apt install apt-show-versions | 09:06 |
| GnomieHomie | okay, thanks heaps, I'll give things a whirl and let you know how I get on | 09:07 |
| mgedmin | ideally you'd find someone who has amd video and is running 14.10 successfully on irc, and figure out how your systems differ... | 09:07 |
| mgedmin | by the way, is the live system you're using also 14.10? | 09:11 |
| GnomieHomie | yes | 09:12 |
| GnomieHomie | no, I mean. | 09:12 |
| GnomieHomie | 14.04 | 09:12 |
| GnomieHomie | I haven't downloaded an iso to test if 14.10 works as new | 09:12 |
| GnomieHomie | mgedmin: any idea how to enable network access within the chroot? | 09:19 |
| mgedmin | open a different terminal (so you've a system outside the chroot) and sudo mount --bind /etc/resolv.conf /path/to/chroot/etc/resolv.conf | 09:19 |
| mgedmin | s/a system/a shell/ | 09:20 |
| GnomieHomie | sweet. | 09:20 |
| GnomieHomie | works well... loving this stuff *archives it for later* | 09:21 |
| mgedmin | note that if you end up having to install a kernel or grub from a live system like this, you also have to have more bind mounts | 09:22 |
| mgedmin | specifically /proc, /sys, /dev and /dev/pts | 09:22 |
| GnomieHomie | wow | 09:22 |
| GnomieHomie | ... mgedmin, at a guess, I figured I would reinstall gfx drivers, which uses intrafms (sp?) to put itself into the kernel. | 09:23 |
| mgedmin | no, I don't think they go into initramfs | 09:23 |
| GnomieHomie | Do I therefore need to do more binds, or should the install be OK as is? | 09:23 |
| mgedmin | should be fine | 09:23 |
| GnomieHomie | Hmm, I think it may well have been the gfx drivers, we'll see soon - I've uninstalled them. | 09:33 |
| GnomieHomie | Note to self, in future, before upgrade, uninstall proprietry drivers. | 09:33 |
| GnomieHomie | Install notes on the website say kernel supported up to 3.15, where-as Ubuntu is now at 3.16. | 09:34 |
| mgedmin | wait, did you install fglrx by hand? | 09:34 |
| mgedmin | instead of using ubuntu's own proprietary driver installer? | 09:34 |
| GnomieHomie | nah, there's an uninstall script | 09:34 |
| mgedmin | yeah, that can be a problem | 09:34 |
| GnomieHomie | Correction: Yes, I installed fglrx on my own. | 09:34 |
| mgedmin | but if you'd used ubuntu's jockey (iirc that's what it's called), then I'd expect the system to survive an upgrade | 09:34 |
| mgedmin | ah, ok | 09:34 |
| mgedmin | yes | 09:34 |
| GnomieHomie | well, wish me luck, see ya. | 09:35 |
| nlsthzn | so glad I found out about Alt+F2 then r to restart gnome-shell... some of the extensions sometimes go wonky and now I can sort them out in 2 seconds :) | 11:06 |
| tdg5 | hello all, is there anyone here who can offer me some insight into what I would need to do to get a patch backported/added to the gnome-3-10 branch of the gnome-shell-extensioms project? | 11:25 |
| tdg5 | I don't think it's something particular to my system, but the 3.10 version of the places-menu extension fails to load because it's missing a patch that seems to have only been added to 3.12+ | 11:29 |
| tdg5 | This is the missing patch: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell-extensions/commit/extensions/places-menu/placeDisplay.js?h=gnome-3-12&id=e73752118d30a9c17a6403036ea33d6eb0e70e55 | 11:29 |

| MichaelTunnell | GNOME is reactivating wifi on reboot...is there a way in Ubuntu GNOME to force it to always be disabled? | 18:12 |
| MichaelTunnell | anyone? | 18:15 |
| MichaelTunnell | I suppose rfkill block is the best method for this with a soft block | 18:19 |
| Gnomebuntuknilch | MichaelTunnell: blacklist the drivermodul | 18:20 |
| MichaelTunnell | well need it to work if necessary at some point so blacklist is too permanent | 18:22 |
