[00:27] <Daekdroom> I hope this upgrade doesn't take too long.
[02:04] <Daekdroom> Sooo. X crashed in the middle of my upgrade to quantal.
[02:04] <Daekdroom> Is there any way I can find out whether it's still running in the background?
[02:58] <litropy> From 12.04 to 12.10, is standard procedure: $ sudo sed -i 's/precise/quantal/g' /etc/apt/sources.list /* and then: */ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade #?
[03:00] <trism> litropy: update-manager -d; or do-release-upgrade -d; should work now that the alphas are out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Alpha2#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_12.04
[03:04] <litropy> trism, Here's what I did: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, which installed fine. I rebooted; lsb_release -a says 12.04; do-release-upgrade -d says No new release found; update-manager -d says I'm up to date.
[03:05] <litropy> Mind you, I did not sudo sed -i 's/precise/quantal/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:07] <litropy> ... and apt-get update is still checking precise directories.
[03:07] <trism> litropy: 12.04 is an LTS so you need to change the upgrades to normal in the settings
[03:08] <Daekdroom> 'software-properties-gtk' command > Upgrades tab > last item, set it to notify you for every version upgrade as opposed to LTS only.
[03:13] <litropy> trism, Daekdroom, thank you.

[11:44] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[13:06] <litropy> I am stuck in a shell after upgrading to 12.10. Xorg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1071215 | dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1071217 | jockey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1071219
[13:07] <iceroot> litropy: dont use 12.10 if you dont like such things
[13:09] <litropy> iceroot, I like troubleshooting.
[13:09] <iceroot> litropy: and when looking at your last messages, 12.10 is not what is what you want
[13:11] <litropy> iceroot, yu're not gonna talk me out of this. Any idea why my driver is failing?
[13:12] <iceroot> litropy: because of a segfault
[13:12] <iceroot> [ 15.431] 3: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so (xdl_xs111_atiddxLeaveVT+0x4a) [0xb6513e5a]
[13:13] <iceroot> litropy: what is the output of "dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii | grep -v ^rc"
[13:13] <litropy> iceroot, one moment.

[13:17] <litropy> iceroot, essentially nothing. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1071239
[13:17] <iceroot> litropy: then the upgrade itself is complete
[13:18] <iceroot> litropy: i guess waiting for a fix is the easiest way

[13:18] <iceroot> debugging backtraces in xorg is like using perl, a real pain
[13:19] <litropy> iceroot, I can't just revert to the previous driver for now?
[13:19] <litropy> iceroot, or is the driver not the problem
[13:20] <iceroot> litropy: as i said, debugging xorg backtraces is not fun
[13:35] <Fudge> hi Tasmania

[15:36] <IdleOne> BluesKaj: I added the xedgers PPA but it does not seem to find the nvidia-graphics-drivers package
[15:37] <IdleOne> what am I doing wrong here? yes I did apt-get update
[15:42] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, it's available here , but I chose the stable file for 64bit https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/unstable/+build/3580505
[15:43] <IdleOne> so you installed -current and not current-dev ?
[15:45] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, I disabled the nvidia riva driver that i was using in jockey and the just ran dpkg -i ~/pathto/nvidia-current_302.17-0ubuntu1~xedgers~quantal1_amd64.deb
[15:45] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, rght
[15:45] <BluesKaj> right that is , not the de
[15:46] * BluesKaj is redy to throw this KB in the trash
[15:46] <BluesKaj> droppig keys left and right now
[15:46] <BluesKaj> idleone , not the dev
[15:47] <IdleOne> err getting dependency errors here
[15:48] <IdleOne> BluesKaj: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1071491/
[15:50] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, which driver are you using now?
[15:50] <BluesKaj> nouveau?
[15:51] <IdleOne> yes
[15:51] <IdleOne> video is very choppy so i thought i would give xedgers a shot
[15:53] <BluesKaj> Yeah , i had the same problem with nouveau altho bjsnider beleives it's a good driver , but maybe it's ok for 2D etc
[15:54] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, which nvidia card ?
[15:54] <IdleOne> 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2)
[15:55] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, that's an onboard card , right ? ....dunno if it can accomodate the 302 driver
[15:56] <IdleOne> it is
[15:58] <IdleOne> so it seems I am stuck with choppiness
[15:58] <IdleOne> this is not an ideal situation
[15:59] <BluesKaj> it should work with the 295 driver which unfortunately has a few different versions , 295.49, 295.53, 295.59 ..check on nvidia's site to see which one is compatible with your 6150
[16:02] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, looks like your card uses the 295.59 ...you could try it , but remove the xedgers pps first
[16:02] <BluesKaj> ppoa
[16:03] <BluesKaj> bbiab ..stuff to do for a few mins
[16:26] <IdleOne> heh I don't know what changed but now my graphics are smooth. i didn't install the 295.59 driver
[16:26] <Daekdroom> So, for who knows what reason my music library is having some track numbers messed up.
[16:34] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, maybe an update/upgrade fixed it ?
[16:34] <IdleOne> perhaps
