[01:45] <cc11rocks> I've been trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 Beta 1 in a virtual machiene. It doesn't even work at ALL in VMWare. If I try in VirtualBox, ubiquity-dm crashes when I go to Something Else > New Patrition > [Plus Button]
[01:46] <cc11rocks> Both are at the latest versions (VMWare and VirtualBox), 64 bit, Ubuntu 12.10, Linux kernel 3.5.3
[01:46] <cc11rocks> Anyone know of this bug and/or how to resolve it?

[06:34]  * gnomefreak learned how to change tabs with keyboard :)
[06:34] <jokerdino> nice gnomefreak  :)
[06:36] <gnomefreak> anyone know if i need python3-aptdaemon.pkcompat?
[06:36] <gnomefreak> thanks jokerdino
[06:37] <jokerdino> gnomefreak: i guess you would need it. 12.10 is to ship with python3 as default
[06:37] <gnomefreak> well damn that sucks badly
[06:41] <micahg> umm, it will ship with some things ported to python 3
[06:41] <jokerdino> btw, why does deja dup crash horribly?
[06:42] <jokerdino> let me find the bug report.. on sec
[06:42] <gnomefreak> dont know i stopped using it. i haqd trouble getting files to back up. it would only let me save folders
[06:44] <gnomefreak> oh screw it what is the worst that can happen
[06:44] <jokerdino> haha
[06:45] <micahg> gnomefreak: it's only a recommends, so need is too strong a word
[06:47] <jokerdino> bug #1033887
[06:47] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1033887 in deja-dup (Ubuntu) "backup fails with error" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1033887
[06:52] <micahg> jokerdino: that function isn't unicode sage
[06:52] <micahg> *safe
[06:53] <jokerdino> micahg: what do you suggest? the backup fails for me
[06:53] <micahg> jokerdino: someone should fix the bug
[06:54] <micahg> jokerdino: is it a regression over precise?
[06:54] <jokerdino> micahg:  i am not sure. i never had it installed in precise.
[09:13] <vega-> worrying that beta1 is almost useless ... graphics randomly just screwed (on external monitor), laggy and sometimes all windows lose keyboard focus (not able to type, mouse commands go through)
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> vega-: report bugs
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> vega-: its a beta, what do you expect
[09:15] <vega-> more, based on what previous betas or even alphas have been
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> vega-: same with all DEs?
[09:15] <vega-> yep
[09:16] <vega-> my choices seem to be default ubuntu, gnome, gnome classic and gnome classic ( no effects)
[09:16] <vega-> no unity 2d anymore
[09:16] <vega-> (which was the one working the best with 12.04)
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> so all gnome then, not tried XFCE or KDE?
[09:19] <vega-> no don't have those installed and not going to use them anyway..
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> uit may just be a gnome issue
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> but, you aren't up for exploring that possibility..
[09:23] <vega-> no time for that at this stage..
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> but you have time for losing keyboard and laggy screen?

[10:38] <oddie> is this the channel if you have issues with 12.10? compiz no longer loads, fglrx is not installing I think, needs dependencies that are no longer in 12.10
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> yes this is 12.10 channel
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> oddie: ah there any bugs reported?
[10:42] <oddie> well nothing loads on the desktop as in unity or compiz will not load, I have a gui but no icons or windows management, im ble to open terminal 'ctrl+alt+t' and then fun firefox etc from there, just no menues for any of the programs.
[10:42] <oddie> where do i find the error report?... logs?
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> oddie: if you run:  nautilus     do you get icons?
[10:45] <oddie> ActionParsnip yep, loads as usual, except no menu at the top and I can't resize/drag the window
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> oddie: try running:  compiz --replace
[10:46] <oddie> ActionParsnip ahhh, segment fault (core dumped)
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> oddie: sounds like a compiz bug then :)
[10:49] <oddie> ActionParsnip im on my way, thanks for your help
[10:51] <BlackPanx> iostat -N should show device names, but it doesnt on one of my servers. do i need aditional package/module in kernel installed to make device-mapper show proper LV's of disk... ? using ubuntu distro.
[10:52] <BlackPanx> LVS names*
[11:08] <oddie> ActionParsnip, fix by uninstalling fglrx...

[11:10] <oddie> there was no answer over at #compiz
[11:11] <md_5> yay they dropped 600mb of package updates
[11:13] <oddie> ActionParsnip, wait, reboot and it fails again... back to #compiz :D
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> oddie: is there a later fglrx on the xorg updates ppa, may help
[11:24] <oddie> just trying to install the ati drivers now from their site

[17:15] <Pici> !schedule
[17:15] <ubottu> A schedule of Quantal Quetzal (12.10) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseSchedule
[17:16] <jetsaredim> anyone know what happened to the pidgin entry in the messaging notification icon?
[17:17] <jacta> does anyone know if its possible to install before release day and get updates?
[17:18] <jtaylor> jacta: that works fine
[17:18] <jtaylor> just install a daily build or beta
[17:18] <jacta> So, technically I could do it about now - (and just get alot of errors)
[17:18] <jacta> and I will still get the newest one when it is ready?
[17:19] <jtaylor> yes, almost everyone here should be on 12.10 right now
[17:19] <jtaylor> yes
[17:19] <jacta> I lost the ability to "see" usb drives somehow :/
[17:19] <jacta> everything I stick in is not getting mounted - cant really live with that :p
[17:20] <jtaylor> what does dmesg say?
[17:21] <jacta> [39072.499669] hub 2-1:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 4
[17:21] <jacta> and alot more :) - but thats the last one
[17:21] <jacta> I pastebin it
[17:22] <jtaylor> hm not very helpful message
[17:22] <jtaylor> if you are not on 12.10 this is a question for #ubuntu
[17:26] <jacta> jtaylor, maybe you seen something like it: http://pastebin.com/FVr9X1bm :p
[17:27] <ChogyDan> jacta: come on, stick to #ubuntu

[19:16] <bjsnider> !find npapi.h
[19:16] <ubottu> Package/file npapi.h does not exist in quantal
[19:16] <bjsnider> swell
[19:17] <bjsnider> !find npapi.h precise
[19:17] <ubottu> File npapi.h found in firefox-dev, kompozer-dev, mingw-w64-dev, thunderbird-dev, wine1.4-dev
[19:18] <micahg> bjsnider: what are you trying to do?
[19:18] <bjsnider> micahg, hold on a sec
[19:19] <bjsnider> i've got a build error here:
[19:19] <bjsnider> fatal error: npapi.h: No such file or directory
[19:19] <bjsnider> firefox-dev is installed
[19:19] <bjsnider> http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/amd64/firefox-dev/filelist
[19:20] <bjsnider> that says npapi.h is there
[19:21] <micahg> bjsnider: yes, it might not be looking in the right place for it
[19:22] <micahg> you need to use the mozilla-plugin.pc file, not any of the other ones previously shipped
[19:22] <bjsnider> i fell like we have had this conversation before
[19:22] <micahg> indeed
[19:22] <bjsnider> has the location changed from precise to quantal?
[19:23] <trism> no
[19:23] <micahg> from precise release? maybe
[19:23] <trism> well, not currently anyway
[19:24] <micahg> no, doesn't look like it
[19:28] <bjsnider> built for precise and oneiric but failed for lucid, natty and quantal, and for 3 different reasons
[19:28] <bjsnider> this is fun
[19:33] <micahg> well, the rest is OT here
[19:33] <micahg> oh, quantal still failed :(
[19:33] <micahg> bjsnider: #ubuntu-packaging might be better
