[00:29] <phunyguy> Hello, I am having an issue with smbclient on 12.10 - when attempting to mount, I get "CIFS VFS: Connecting to DFS root not implemented yet" in dmesg.
[00:29] <phunyguy> does that mean anything?
[00:30] <penguin42> looks like other people with it
[00:32] <penguin42> I see references to it in a 3.4.2 kernel - apparently fixed last month in 3.4.5 - I wonder if it's not in the 3.5.x ?
[00:33] <phunyguy> yeah i saw the same thing on a fedora forum
[00:49] <phunyguy> hmm apparently there were some updates since this daily build
[00:49] <phunyguy> that could fix it, lol
[01:46] <phunyguy> yeah the updates didnt fix
[01:56] <scarrs> hello again... I need some assistance installing the nvidia driver... I need to know how to change the default run level in ubuntu so I don't boot into x. thanks in advance :)
[02:00] <scarrs> (I changed the default run level in /etc/init/ "something or other" but it didn't change anything :(
[02:05] <trism> scarrs: the nvidia driver won't work correctly in quantal until the version after 304.37 comes out, bug 1037896
[02:06] <scarrs> ty trism
[02:06] <scarrs> trism: can you possibly help me be able to emulate compositioning for the cairo dock session :)?
[02:12] <trism> scarrs: maybe xcompmgr?
[03:04] <DracoDanLRPC> my background is in Red Hat, but I need to use ubuntu for a home project.  I seem to be stuck on kernel 3.5rc7 after having previously downloaded and manually installed the kernel, what's the best way to for it to download the latest standard kernel?
[03:04] <DracoDanLRPC> a simple upgrade isn't doing it
[03:05] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: what is: uname -a
[03:06] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: basically you just need to make sure the correct kernel meta package is installed, and if using apt-get you will need: apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:07] <DracoDanLRPC> Linux <you dont need to know my hostname :) > 3.5.0-030500rc7-generic #201207142035 SMP Sun Jul 15 00:35:57 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[03:07] <DracoDanLRPC> doing a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade didnt help
[03:10] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: make sure linux-image-generic is installed, latest ubuntu kernel is 3.5.0-11
[03:11] <DracoDanLRPC> can you be more specific?  I'm guessing rpm -qa | grep linux-image-generic isn't gonna work on ubuntu :-)
[03:12] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: dpkg -l 'linux-image*';
[03:13] <DracoDanLRPC> damn, there are a lot of kernels installed...
[03:13] <DracoDanLRPC> do I have to manually edit grub?
[03:15] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: no, but 3.5.0-030500rc7 might sort before the ubuntu kernels, so it might be on the other kernels entry in grub
[03:16] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: what is: apt-cache policy linux-image-3.5.0-11-generic; ?
[03:21] <DracoDanLRPC> 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages
[03:21] <DracoDanLRPC> 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
[03:21] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: the Installed: specifically
[03:22] <DracoDanLRPC> sorry, 3.5.0-11.11
[03:22] <DracoDanLRPC> linux-image-3.5.0-11-generic:
[03:22] <DracoDanLRPC>   Installed: 3.5.0-11.11
[03:22] <DracoDanLRPC>   Candidate: 3.5.0-11.11
[03:22] <DracoDanLRPC>   Version table:
[03:22] <DracoDanLRPC>  *** 3.5.0-11.11 0
[03:23] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: yeah that looks good, my guess is that the mainline kernel just sorts before it, so probably just need to select "Previous Linux Versions" or whatever it is called on grub
[03:24] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: after that you can remove the mainline kernel and you should get the most up to date ubuntu kernels as the first entry
[03:25] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: of course you could check /boot/grub/grub.cfg to verify
[03:26] <DracoDanLRPC> I'm used to grub.conf, why did it have to change?
[03:27] <DracoDanLRPC> can I manually edit grub.cfg?
[03:27] <DracoDanLRPC> "# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE"
[03:28] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: not a good idea in general, it will be regenerated when a new kernel is installed
[03:28] <DracoDanLRPC> okay, so how do I fix it?  I can't go and select the correct kernel on every boot
[03:29] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: just do it once, then remove linux-image-3.5.0-030500rc7-generic and you should be good
[03:29] <DracoDanLRPC> remove how? from grub.cfg?
[03:29] <DracoDanLRPC> or remove the package?
[03:29] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: no, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.5.0-030500rc7-generic
[03:29] <DracoDanLRPC> gotcha, thanks :_)
[03:30] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: I'd say do it before you change kernels, but dpkg complains
[03:30] <DracoDanLRPC> :-)
[03:30] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: though you can force it
[03:35] <DracoDanLRPC> force it to remove the package for the kernel it's running? lol
[03:35] <DracoDanLRPC> I've already booted into the correct kernel
[03:35] <DracoDanLRPC> well, it's in the process
[04:19] <trism> DracoDanLRPC: all set?
[04:43] <DracoDanLRPC> trism: kinda, I tried to remove the extra kernels but dpkg -l still shows them...
[07:19] <clearout> is anyone aware of the dependency issue with adobeflash-installer and libnspr4-0d?
[08:33] <proti> morning.
[08:33] <proti> May I have your help ? I need some hints to boot an ASUS N53SV into efi mode.
[08:34] <proti> At this time I was able to boot only with noefi on the cmdline.
[12:28] <proti> anybody there ?
[12:30] <penguin42> no, we're all asleep
[12:32] <smartboyhw> proti: What's your question>
[13:08] <WarOfTheNerd> How is Alpha 3 for stability?
[13:08] <WarOfTheNerd> I don't mind if I encounter something unusual, I survived glibc screwups in the past.... but wondering if it will be usable on install? ^.^
[13:09] <smartboyhw> WarOfTheNerd: Alpha 3 is more stable then Alphas 1 and 2 at least:)
[13:14] <WarOfTheNerd> smartboyhw, anything I should know of that's major?
[13:14] <smartboyhw> WarOfTheNerd: What do you mean?
[13:14] <smartboyhw> Maybe the kernel
[13:14] <WarOfTheNerd> as in bug-wise
[13:15] <smartboyhw> ?
[13:15] <WarOfTheNerd> I've not suffered any issues with Fedora's 3.4.x or 3.5.x so I know I won't be bitten by the kernel
[13:15] <smartboyhw> uh huh
[13:16] <silverarrow> I have tested gecko-mediaplayer 1.0.6 packages with gnome-mplayer and it is broken for powerpc
[13:16] <silverarrow> they have the same bug as 1.0.5 packages in precise
[13:16] <silverarrow> trouble with browser embedded play
[13:17] <silverarrow> not sure how to report back to the testing team
[13:17] <silverarrow> hi howlymowly
[13:18] <silverarrow> I made a report on launchpad, but then I wondered if the testing team would read it
[13:18] <silverarrow> it was general Ubuntu, not 12.10 testing specific
[13:21] <smartboyhw> silverarrow: Use packages.qa.ubuntu.com
[13:31] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:33] <silverarrow> hi
[13:33] <smartboyhw> hi
[13:34] <silverarrow> webapps or ubuntu-1 category
[13:34] <silverarrow> ?
[13:35] <silverarrow> are gecko and mplayer web apps?
[13:41] <silverarrow> impossible to use packages.qabuntu  ??
[13:42] <smartboyhw> silverarrow: Why?
[13:42] <silverarrow> lubuntu applications and packages are not listed?
[13:42] <smartboyhw> Oh, it's been released.
[13:43] <smartboyhw> silverarrow: It's for main packages, I think you'd better ask phillw in #lubuntu.
[13:43] <Pici> Huh. lubuntu and ubuntu share the same repositories.
[13:43] <silverarrow> they do
[13:44] <silverarrow> but find gnome-mplayer on the qa.ubuntu
[13:44] <smartboyhw> silverarrow: Anyway it's impossible now.
[13:44] <silverarrow> life usually is
[13:44] <smartboyhw> It's been released, I think
[13:44] <silverarrow> which means bugs are not care about?
[13:45] <smartboyhw> silverarrow: No, it's just stopped.
[13:45] <smartboyhw> I'll ask balloons about 15-30 minutes later about that
[13:46] <silverarrow> I will return later then
[13:46] <Pici> What do you mean by "it's stopped"?
[13:46] <silverarrow> ppc users are so slack with reporting back
[13:46] <smartboyhw> Well, look at http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/
[13:48] <Pici> Thats just for things that are getting specific focus by the QA team./
[13:49] <smartboyhw> Hmm, then I don't know, I'll ask balloons or phillw or gema or jibel...
[13:49] <smartboyhw> Long list there:) LOL
[13:51] <silverarrow> I did make a report on launchpad but it might have been the wrong section for quantal
[13:52] <smartboyhw> silverarrow: Can I see the report?:)
[13:56] <proti> smartboyhw: I cannot boot the install cd without noefi on the command line.
[13:56] <proti> How should I debug that problem ?
[13:59] <smartboyhw> proti: I think try to boot using the EFI shell...
[14:01] <silverarrow> smartboyhw, hhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1039518
[14:01] <silverarrow> I`m in xchat and I cant copy and paste
[14:01] <silverarrow> which is so cumberson
[14:02] <silverarrow> oh, even ubottu is up to date
[14:02] <silverarrow> hmm
[14:06] <silverarrow> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1039518
[14:06] <silverarrow> smartboyhw, one h too many
[14:06] <smartboyhw> What do you mean one h too many?
[14:07] <proti> smartboyhw: Hum, grub-efi is starting ok. I got the selection menu (try ubuntu, install, memcheck).
[14:07] <smartboyhw> Yeah
[14:07] <proti> But then, Each entry I select leads to a black screen.
[14:07] <proti> unless I put noefi in the params.
[14:08] <proti> How efi shell could improve ?
[14:08] <smartboyhw> Hmm
[14:09] <smartboyhw> Maybe ask it in #ubuntu will be better, if not it is a BUG.
[14:09] <proti> Ok, I'll try on ubuntu
[14:09] <proti> btw, it's the same behaviour with precise and quantal.
[14:10] <smartboyhw> That is a #ubuntu problem better then:)
[14:11] <proti> ok
[14:11] <proti> thanks for u time.
[14:11] <smartboyhw> Thanks
[14:16] <Debolaz> Can anyone remember the ID of the bug about the vmware/vbox breakage of Unity?
[14:17] <Debolaz> I can't for the life of me find it in launchpad.
[14:18] <Debolaz> Nevermind, it was just mentioned in another channel.
[14:22] <BluesKaj> lightdm on KDE still crashes into 100 different image pieces at login , haven't tried kdm , or is it permanently replaced by lightdm ?
[14:45] <BluesKaj> seems kdm crashes the same way as lightdm at login , so I have to login to the TTY and startx as the method get to the desktop
[14:46] <BluesKaj> anyone else running kde on 12.10 encountering this ?
[15:06] <genii-around> Ever since last round of updates getting "p11-kit: duplicate configured module: gnome-keyring.module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so" on apt-get update, whether p11-kit is installed or not.
[16:50] <silverarrow> who is howard chan ?
[16:51] <silverarrow> correcting me with bug reports
[16:53] <silverarrow> smartboyhw?
[16:54] <silverarrow> good to get things sorted out and corrected though
[19:03] <penguin42> anyone seeing odd virtmanager behaviour on qq - it seems to be holding onto the focus when I wouldn't expect it to
[19:12] <AlanBell> is it me or is quantal rather completely broken in virtualbox :(
[19:13] <penguin42> AlanBell: I saw another report somewhere of some graphics problems - I run kvm here
[19:17] <jibel_> AlanBell, it is broken and will be until llvmpipe support is stable and released
[19:17] <jibel_> there is a version available for testing in a PPA that should work properly
[19:17] <jibel_> http://www.theorangenotebook.com/2012/08/call-for-testing-compiz-unity.html
[19:17] <AlanBell> jibel_: ok, thanks for that
[19:17] <AlanBell> I think I will be able to install it, I managed to get orca running and ubiquity
[19:18] <AlanBell> accessibility testing has its value!
[19:20] <AlanBell> grr, I think someone broke ubiquity
[19:23] <AlanBell> so booting a live cd doesn't appear to start ubiquity now, goes to the desktop
[19:23] <AlanBell> is that the final plan?
[19:27] <penguin42> AlanBell: The Kubuntu one I've got from last month still shows both
[19:29] <AlanBell> wow, this is broken :(
[19:29] <AlanBell> funny because I am using Quantal daily on my production laptop
[19:29] <penguin42> Well, that's what alpha releases are for
[19:39] <marcus_____> I NEED HELP

[19:44] <marcusDavidus> nice support chanel ty vm
[19:44] <marcusDavidus> going install real distro this si one epic fail
[19:44] <marcusDavidus>  bye
[19:54] <Pici> marcusDavidus: Not sure what you're expecting from a development release.   There is a known issue with drivers and xorg.
[19:57] <marcusDavidus> right
[19:57] <marcusDavidus> i installed  12.04 ... only 3.2 kernles installed 12.10 no drivers
[19:57] <marcusDavidus>  epic distro
[19:58] <Pici> !latest
[19:58] <Pici> If you don't like it, don't use it. But theres no sense in complaining here like that.
[19:59] <marcusDavidus> i dont want to use it this is gf's laptop and she dont want gentoo or sabayon cuz its to hard for her
[19:59] <marcusDavidus> o no really chooice
[20:00] <AlanBell> so install 12.04 which is actually released
[20:01] <marcusDavidus> to old kernel
[20:03] <marcusDavidus> i try xorg edgers ppa maybe that help
[20:14] <penguin42> what breaks with the old kernel?
[20:22] <Debolaz> I just tried the unity testing ppa. It didn't go so well.... Well, it went better than the current 12.10, at least there were no flickering. But the launcher is invisible now. :)
[20:23] <trism> Debolaz: might try a: unity --reset; I've had the launcher do that once or twice to me
[20:24] <Debolaz> I'll try that the next time I boot into it.
[20:25] <Debolaz> llvmp performance is also pretty poor, though its due to some very specific effects so I suspect if those are disabled when llvmpipe is active, the experience should be fine.
[20:32] <Debolaz> Also, is llvmpipe force-enabled now even if 3D acceleration is available? (For the purpose of testing I presume)
[20:35] <trism> I'm not exactly sure how to force it to run, I don't think it is used if you have acceleration
[20:36] <Debolaz> Disabling 3D acceleration from vmware side makes no performance difference at all.
[20:36] <Debolaz> So I'm assuming it's using llvmpipe.
[20:38] <trism> there was some issue with vmware being discussed in -devel yesterday, so you may be stuck with llvmpipe there for now
[20:38] <Debolaz> Well, that's not really a problem considering the only reason I'm using 12.10 at the moment is to test out llvmpipe. :-)
[20:39] <trism> yeah I'd like to figure out how to force it to use llvmpipe to give it a try
[20:41] <trism> comments in bug 1039157 discuss the vmware issue, apparently vmware-tools isn't building with the new xorg
[20:43] <LLStarks> latest update just trashed my fonts
[20:43] <LLStarks> nice job desktop team
[20:46] <MrChrisDruif> LLStarks; You can expect breakages in the development release.
[20:47] <LLStarks> whataever happened to cadence lol
[21:21] <marcus____> yeah installing freeking by compiling kernel also not working
[21:21] <marcus____>  super duper installed all 386 libs all build items need and..
[21:21] <marcus____>  dkms failed cheers pro distro
[21:43] <marcus____> damn imposible to build fglrx
[21:56] <marcus____> wow i build it eh he
[21:58] <marcus____> anyone want builded fglrx drivers for 3.5 kernel ?
[23:50] <semitones> how do you compile something as a regular user, and use it in that context?
[23:50] <semitones> oops wrong channel
[23:57] <FernandoMiguel> nn
