| shookees | Morning | 08:56 |
| lotuspsychje | AbuDhar: also keep in mind that the system can break in this stage | 11:44 |
| AbuDhar | yeah I just want to read about the improvements.. :P | 11:44 |
| lotuspsychje | AbuDhar: i have it running on my desktop pretty stable | 11:44 |
| lotuspsychje | AbuDhar: as long as it doesnt come out officially you wont read anything much | 11:45 |
| lotuspsychje | AbuDhar: test it yourself in a virtual machine perhaps? | 11:45 |
| AbuDhar | ya maybe I will later. | 11:46 |
| AbuDhar | how well does it work with virtualbox? | 11:47 |
| lotuspsychje | AbuDhar: depends on your system of course | 11:47 |
| AbuDhar | I'll try. Can I get the guest additions etc? | 11:48 |
| lordievader | AbuDhar: Do you have a Linux host? | 11:48 |
| AbuDhar | yes | 11:48 |
| lordievader | Then I recommend using KVM, it is a lot faster than virtual box. | 11:48 |
| AbuDhar | ok. | 11:49 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy all | 12:10 |
| k1l | libregeekingkid: which ubuntu are you on exactly? | 18:34 |
| libregeekingkid | k1l: I am trying it for a trusty VM now | 18:36 |
| k1l | try "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" | 18:36 |
| k1l | make sure the release prompt is set to LTS to get to 16.04 | 18:36 |
| libregeekingkid | k1l: thanks for the instructions. But I specifically need the sources of xenial | 18:37 |
| k1l | can you describe what you are trying to do? | 18:38 |
| libregeekingkid | k1l: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/ this is what I wanted. I am doing some hacks with the ubiquity Installer. taking in ubiquity latest 2.21.* which is there in xenials repos | 18:43 |
| libregeekingkid | k1l: are you still there? | 19:59 |
| k1l | yes | 19:59 |
| nicomachus | Sooo... somewhat stupid question. I installed 16.04 on a VM (virtualbox) and then installed unity 8. But how do I switch over to it? I'm not prompted on login like I normally am for a DE switch. | 21:21 |
| k1l | dont know if that works in vbox at all. | 21:22 |
| k1l | but log out, then change the desktop to start to the mir one. | 21:22 |
| nicomachus | I'll give it a shot. | 21:22 |
| nicomachus | ok, I was able to switch it to Unity 8, but then it freezes on login. checking through some logs now. | 21:40 |
| nicomachus | well, I think I found the error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13837272/ | 22:20 |
| k1l | might not work in vbox. | 22:21 |
| nicomachus | This bug looks to be similar, although it's rather old: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mir/+bug/1366805 | 22:21 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1118903 in Mir "duplicate for #1366805 [enhancement] Mir lacks a software rendering backend" [High,Triaged] | 22:22 |
| lotuspsychje | nicomachus: how did you install unity8/mir? | 22:22 |
| nicomachus | lotuspsychje: `apt-get install unity8-desktop-session-mir` | 22:22 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah try in real install as k1l suggests | 22:23 |
| lotuspsychje | works like a charm on my 16.04 desktop here | 22:23 |
| nicomachus | lotuspsychje: by "real install" do you mean outside of a VM? | 22:26 |
| lotuspsychje | nicomachus: yeah, as in physical install on your machine | 22:26 |
| k1l | on bare metal | 22:26 |
| lotuspsychje | :p | 22:26 |
| k1l | but that doesnt work with prop. amd or nvidia cards | 22:26 |
| nicomachus | well, I could, but it's kind of critical that it work in VM's as well at some point... | 22:26 |
| k1l | *cards drivers | 22:27 |
| nicomachus | for now I'll just stick with unity 7 on this VM, but I'm curious about the bug. | 22:27 |
| lotuspsychje | nicomachus: no bug on my side here, working like a charm | 22:29 |
| nicomachus | lotuspsychje: in a VM or just on desktop? | 22:30 |
| lotuspsychje | nicomachus: on my desktop 16.04 | 22:31 |
| lotuspsychje | running pretty stable here | 22:31 |
| nicomachus | yea, this bug has to do with the vbox drm driver, so it's only affecting VM's. | 22:32 |
| lotuspsychje | i also think so, as k1l suggested it might not work in vm | 22:32 |
| === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U | ||
| nicomachus | right, as of now it doesn't. But it's going to need to before widespread release. | 22:33 |
| lotuspsychje | nicomachus: keep in mind that unity8 is in test stage still | 22:34 |
| nicomachus | yea, of course. | 22:34 |
| lotuspsychje | nicomachus: when officially done, it will more look a desktop version | 22:34 |
| lotuspsychje | now it still looks like phone | 22:34 |
| nicomachus | well 16.04 seems pretty darn stable so far, so that's nice | 22:37 |
| lotuspsychje | yeppers | 22:37 |
| lotuspsychje | im pretty excited about 31dec :p | 22:38 |
| * nicomachus has a doctor's appt that day... but not sure what else is special about it | 22:38 | |
| lotuspsychje | alpha stage nicomachus | 22:38 |
| nicomachus | ha, oh, right... | 22:39 |
