| [00:36] <marknigh> Hi all, Did an upgrade of Precise this morning. It get's to a point in boot up to where it has a problem with Plymouth and then it flashes back and forth from a cursor on a black screen to the boot up check list. If I mess with it enough it says there is a graphics problem and prompts me to proceed with minimal graphics. I can view logs and such but that's about it. I boot up with 10.04 with no problem. That's what I'm on. I went to F1 terminal and | |
| [00:36] <marknigh> updated and upgraded but still stuck. | |
| [00:37] <marknigh> It's Precise after an upgrade | |
| [00:37] <marknigh> It hangs after Plymouth | |
| [00:57] <Fudge> aplay -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/819518/ | |
| [00:57] <Fudge> having trouble getting audio to work, doesnt seem like i have a driver loaded, should i pastebin anything else? | |
| [01:41] <coz_> ok guys, just did dist-upgrade and now i have japanese as main language :) | |
| [01:42] <coz_> how do I change language in gnome3? | |
| [01:43] <coz_> I think I found it, nevermind | |
| [03:13] <urlin2u> So anyone seeing any problems with libreoffice open fine but has a lot of symbols added to documents | |
| [03:13] <urlin2u> opens* | |

| [03:34] <urlin2u> So anyone seeing any problems with libreoffice opens fine but has a lot of symbols added to documents already made? | |
| [03:44] <urlin2u> formatting seemed to be set weird all fixed | |
| [06:33] <coz_> hey guys, I have chinese scattered all over the system ,, any solution? | |
| [06:33] <coz_> chinese font rather | |
| [06:37] <coz_> here's an example of what I mean http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshots/Screenshot%20at%202012-01-28%2001%3A35%3A43.png | |
| [06:42] <snadge> youve been hacked by a chinger | |
| [06:42] <snadge> format and reinstall before you are kidnapped and wake up in china missing body parts | |
| [06:42] <coz_> :) | |
| [06:43] <snadge> haha thats cool | |
| [06:43] <coz_> snadge, cute, :), but do you have a solution | |
| [06:43] <snadge> umm no, maybe check your locale seetings | |
| [06:43] <snadge> i cant remember how | |
| [06:43] <coz_> snadge, did that, this happened after dist-upgrade | |
| [06:44] <snadge> hmm, thats an odd one | |
| [06:44] <coz_> right | |
| [06:44] <coz_> never had this happen in 8 years | |
| [06:44] <snadge> something is set to chinese somewhere | |
| [06:44] <snadge> the question is, what | |
| [06:45] <coz_> exactly or it is a bug | |
| [07:50] <alkisg> Hi, I'm looking for an adblock-plus.deb package for Precise, I know those were removed from the archive but I thought they'd be available in a PPA, would anyone know which PPA? | |
| [07:51] <alkisg> This one? https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/xul-ext | |
| [07:52] <urlin2u> alkisg, that k=link says it supports precise. | |
| [07:53] <urlin2u> isn't it a FF addon? | |
| [07:53] <alkisg> Yes, it is | |
| [07:53] <alkisg> I'm trying to find a global way to install it, instead of telling thousands of users to separately install it themselves | |
| [07:53] * alkisg tries installing from that ppa... | |
| [07:56] <alkisg> Hmm it worked but I got a prompt "are you sure you want to install this extension? firefox needs to be restarted... etc" when I launched firefox after the .deb installation | |
| [08:02] <urlin2u> alkisg, that is common with FF mine does it as well | |
| [08:06] * alkisg shrugs... thank you | |
| [08:37] <jo-erlend> is there some place where we can read details of the status from day to day about +1, like a journal? | |
| [08:38] <Essobi> Umm.. in #ubuntu+1 on Freenode, is good I hear. | |
| [08:41] <jo-erlend> no it isn't. It's a real-time media. | |
| [08:47] <Essobi> Not if you leave it open and like... read it later. :D | |

| [12:19] <aguitel> any new news about nvidia-173 drivers in precise ? | |
| [12:35] <aguitel> iceroot, you readme ? | |
| [12:54] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all | |
| [13:43] <aguitel> is anyone upgrade oneric to precise ? | |
| [14:13] <penguin42> I did a month or so ago | |
| [14:19] <aguitel> penguin42, it works until now ? | |
| [14:20] <penguin42> aguitel: The upgrade went well then, and I've been doing upgrades every week since then - occasionally some things break; but not too bad | |
| [14:21] <aguitel> penguin42, what is your video card ? | |
| [14:21] <penguin42> aguitel: I'm running two systems with PP - one with Intel, and one with Radeon (using the open driver) | |
| [14:21] <aguitel> ok | |
| [14:40] <chmac> How do I install acroread? It's not showing up in the partners repo as yet. Grab it from oneiric? | |
| [14:41] <penguin42> chmac: Yeh that's probably the easiest; however, have you tried some of the free pdf readers? I find Okular (that comes with KDE) nicer than the default Gnome one | |
| [14:42] <chmac> penguin42: evince works fine, except for fancy forms created in some BS proprietary nonsense... | |
| [14:42] <chmac> The joy of applying for foreign visas... :-) | |
| [14:43] <penguin42> chmac: Ah I see, still worth giving Okular a go to see whether it will cope | |
| [14:44] <chmac> penguin42: Pretty sure it won't, I read that only acrobat works. :-( http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/faq/if-this-message-is-not-eventually-replaced-by-the-proper-contents-of-the-document.php | |
| [14:46] <penguin42> chmac: Yeuch horrible! | |
| [14:46] <chmac> I know! | |
| [14:47] <chmac> Even worse that the government of Canada publishes documents in this format. | |
| [14:47] <penguin42> and I always thought Candians were harmless! | |
| [14:47] <penguin42> a | |
| [14:48] <chmac> lol | |
| [14:51] <chmac> Can I safely clear /var/lib/apt/lists/ ? It's at 555M right now! | |
| [14:52] <jtaylor> yes | |
| [14:52] <jtaylor> how did it grow so large :O | |
| [14:54] <penguin42> 109 and 135M on my 2 machines here | |
| [14:56] <chmac> I was downloading from several mirrors, so I cleaned out all the alternate mirrors, and now it's back to 110M. | |
| [14:57] <chmac> I've got /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8/10/11/12/13 folders, but those kernels are not installed, also safe to wipe? | |
| [14:57] <jtaylor> are the header packages still installed? | |
| [14:57] <chmac> jtaylor: Nope, no header packages installed, but maybe it dates back to my pre-precise install. | |
| [14:57] <chmac> I'm not 100% certain if the / partition was reformatted or not. | |
| [14:58] <chmac> Alright, 2.3G of disk space reclaimed... :-) | |
| [15:00] <chmac> Is /usr/lib/libreoffice really ~380M? Seems awfully high... | |
| [15:00] <jtaylor> libreoffice is a large package | |
| [15:00] <jtaylor> alone the download is ~70mb so 380 unpacked is realistic | |
| [15:01] <chmac> My /usr dir is 3.4G! | |
| [15:01] <chmac> Oh well, I'm back to a reasonable size overall for /, so that's fine. | |
| [15:01] <chmac> Thanks for the help | |
| [15:01] * penguin42 hopes the LO cleanup they're doing will help shrink it | |
| [15:02] <jtaylor> might be interesting to try btrfs with compression if you need space | |
| [15:03] <chmac> My root partition is 7.5G, 2.3G free right now, so it seems ok. Just don't want to have to repartition. I'm on a 128G SSD running full disk encryption, so space is at a premium. | |
| [15:04] <chmac> jtaylor: Thanks for the suggestion. | |
| [15:07] <penguin42> yeh it's difficult these days - especially during upgrades | |
| [15:12] <oly> hi, has anyone else experienced a problem with the unity launcher bar not loading, it seems to work fine in 2d but not on the normal desktop, i have icons on the desktop and apps launch etc just no bar or unity ? | |
| [15:12] <oly> i have had this for quite a few weeks now was kind of expecting it to rectify itself at some point, | |
| [15:13] <penguin42> oly: I haven't had that; do you get any errors anywhere? What graphics card are you using? | |
| [15:13] <oly> its fglrx, so i did wonder if its related to the card | |
| [15:13] <oly> i dont see any error, where would they be logged for unity ? | |
| [15:14] <oly> perhaps i need to put terminal into startup, so i can try launching unity manually | |
| [15:15] <oly> as i cant launch new apps in the normal version :) but my startup apps launch fine :) | |
| [15:16] <penguin42> oly: I'm thinking of maybe a segfault logged in dmesg | |
| [15:17] <penguin42> oly: You could try starting the unity stuff in a terminal and see if it immediately crashes | |
| [15:17] <oly> yeah i will try that just there is no way to launch a terminal, but if i chuck it in the startup that should work | |
| [15:18] <penguin42> oly: Ah ok, so ctrl-alt-f1 should get you a textual logon, in there do export DISPLAY=:0.0 then gnome-terminal & then ctrl-alt-f7 (or maybe f8) to get back to the graphical | |
| [15:19] <oly> aha cool, beans will try that in a sec | |
| [15:41] <yofel> talking about compression, I wonder if lzo support for grub2 will get into precise | |
| [15:41] <yofel> it was added upstream | |
| [16:53] <lucas-arg> hello, im having problem switching desktops in 12.04 no option in lightdm, am i missing something? | |
| [17:02] <maldive> hi, i just upgraded my system including X and nvidia-current and now x won't start | |
| [17:02] <maldive> is this a common problem= | |
| [17:02] <maldive> ? | |
| [18:59] <urlin2u> So I had a crashing precise at the start of the desktop turned out top be the pae kernel I have just 2 gigs and don't need it, it seems a autoadde to the download not familiar with the changes happening. | |
| [19:01] <urlin2u> the boot cd crashed as well as the install to be more precise, lol | |
| [19:02] <urlin2u> and 32 bit | |
| [19:42] <penguin42> urlin2u: If you're getting a crash with the PAE kernel it would still be good to report it - that really shouldn't happen | |
| [19:43] <lucas-arg> im having problems login into cinnamon, any ideas? | |
| [19:43] <urlin2u> penguin42, yeah I haven't had the time I'm swamped with my college course stuff this is my graduating semester | |
| [19:43] <penguin42> urlin2u: Ah, well good look with that! | |
| [19:44] <urlin2u> penguin42, yeah I'm happy it was easy I'm a older student, no biggie. | |
| [19:47] <penguin42> urlin2u: What hardware are you running on? | |
| [19:53] <urlin2u> penguin42, a acer d250 netbook maed to 2 gigs ram 32 bit | |
| [19:53] <urlin2u> maxed | |
| [19:53] <penguin42> I remember there have been a few people on here with problems with d250's | |
| [19:53] <urlin2u> penguin42, you want my lspci in a pastebin? | |
| [19:53] <penguin42> no, it wont help me | |
| [19:54] <urlin2u> cool | |
| [19:54] <penguin42> urlin2u: if you could run ubuntu-bug linux in a terminal in it and comment in the bug that it was the PAE version that failed it would be good | |
| [19:54] <penguin42> if you get a chance | |
| [19:55] <urlin2u> cool will boot to precise and do that | |
| === JanC_ is now known as JanC | |
| [20:01] <jbicha> lucas-arg: uninstall cinnamon and see if it helps ;) | |
| [20:03] <urlin2u> penguin42, I just had another crash I think it is the sdhc card I had removed, it has a windows psuedo swap on it that may be the actual problem here. | |
| [20:03] <urlin2u> not sure really | |
| [20:04] <penguin42> urlin2u: when it crashes does it show a screen full of errors or just hang? | |
| [20:05] <urlin2u> penguin42, goes to text says something about return to tty but freezes before getting there. The reisub command does not reboot it as well | |
| [20:05] <aguitel> is anyone using nvidia-173 drivers in 12.04 ? | |
| [20:06] <urlin2u> penguin42, running now without the sdhc but getting errors to report, I just don'y\t have the time right now I have to et to the paper due on momday. | |
| [20:06] <urlin2u> get* | |
| [20:07] <penguin42> urlin2u: No problem | |
| [20:07] <urlin2u> penguin42, cool | |
| [20:48] <codepal> Hi, I want to test 12 | |
| [20:50] <codepal> what difference does the lubuntu 12.04 have over the standard? | |
| [20:50] <codepal> I'm kinda worried that all the new bling won't work on my budge Intel GMA graphics card | |
| [20:52] <codepal> is this the right place to get the standard build? -- http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | |
| [20:54] <jbicha> codepal: as long as you don't have GMA500, you should be fine with Intel graphics | |
| [20:57] <codepal> G33/G31 :'( | |
| [20:57] <jbicha> codepal: lubuntu uses lxde.org which is quite a bit different than what the standard Ubuntu uses | |
| [20:58] <codepal> yeah, I'm a long-time lxde user... | |
| [20:58] <codepal> I like light desktops | |
| [20:59] <codepal> what's the process for getting organised to test 12.04? | |
| [21:27] <penguin42> jbicha: GMA500 has just gone into 3.3 I think, so that might be good for next time | |
| [22:30] <lucas-arg> 12.04 quite stable so far... | |
| [22:55] <Vadi-mobile> Bug reporting is giving this error: "Cannot connect to crash database, please check your Internet connection. <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>" when I am clearly connected to the Internet. Is the database down? | |
| [23:15] <Vadi-mobile_> Does anyone know where to obtain the 'Unique Submission Key:' when submitting a checkbox report manually? | |
| [23:57] <codepal> I've a install problem in Ubuntu 12.04 | |
| [23:57] <codepal> :'( | |
| [23:58] <codepal> I've gparted a SSD drive as ext4, want to manually configure the partition in the installer to use that drive & then installer crashes | |
| [23:58] <codepal> how do I report this? | |
| [23:59] <penguin42> codepal: Run ubuntu-bug ubuiquity if you can get a terminal | |
| [23:59] <codepal> done | |
| [23:59] <codepal> ta | |
| [23:59] <penguin42> and say the bug number on here and someone might be able to spot something | |
