| tseng | thats silly advice | 01:50 |
| tseng | mixing dists can break things more | 01:50 |
| KaiL_ | install everything from hoary, if you want somethink working :) | 01:50 |
| KaiL_ | somebody should try to explain the people out there, that they can't compare the ubuntu devel versions with debian/unstable | 01:51 |
| Amaranth | i'm fully upgraded in breezy without issues | 01:51 |
| Amaranth | but i've had daniels help me get X running a couple times | 01:52 |
| tseng | lets not all bother daniels every 2 days please. | 01:52 |
| Amaranth | KaiL_: They could with hoary | 01:52 |
| KaiL_ | Amaranth: ? | 01:52 |
| Amaranth | KaiL_: hoary was relatively stable from right after xorg stabilized | 01:52 |
| === mdz [~mdz@ca-studio-bsr1o-251.vnnyca.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Amaranth | which was about a month into hoary, wasn't it? | 01:53 |
| KaiL_ | you can use debian/sid for daily working (more or less), but ubuntu/breezy is currently _NOT_ made for daily use | 01:53 |
| KaiL_ | for that we have hoary | 01:53 |
| KaiL_ | developers doesn't care that much, if breezy currently doesn't work - it's only important, that it'll work in October | 01:55 |
| Amaranth | KaiL_: That's not true. It needs to somewhat work. | 01:56 |
| Amaranth | KaiL_: If they get no testing it won't work in October. | 01:56 |
| Kamion | I care; if it doesn't work, I can't release test CDs | 01:57 |
| Kamion | it doesn't have to work all the time, but it has to at least go through periods of workingness | 01:57 |
| KaiL_ | Kamion: you don't expect a working test CD soon, or? ;)) | 01:57 |
| Kamion | KaiL_: it's overdue | 01:57 |
| Kamion | KaiL_: and bear in mind I am typically not just passively sitting back and waiting for stuff to work | 01:58 |
| daniels | mdz: tricky. i'll have a look later today and see how it goes. | 01:58 |
| Kamion | KaiL_: it doesn't seem productive to hassle people at this precise moment, though | 01:58 |
| KaiL_ | Kamion: that's not what I mean | 01:58 |
| KaiL_ | it's only a bit annoying to explain people in the support chats, that they can not expect, that breezy works | 01:59 |
| tseng | its pretty effective to let them figure that out for themselves | 02:00 |
| KaiL_ | this "do NOT use breezy, if you want something stable" seams not to be big enough ;) | 02:00 |
| Amaranth | we've started a "no help if you're using breezy" thing in #ubuntu | 02:01 |
| KaiL_ | that might help | 02:01 |
| mdke | Amaranth, *laughs* | 02:01 |
| Amaranth | most users are satisfied with backports | 02:01 |
| mdke | bit harsh maybe | 02:01 |
| Amaranth | mdke: we try, anyway | 02:01 |
| mdke | i'm gonna try breezy tomorrow | 02:02 |
| Kamion | KaiL_: you said "developers don't care"; that's simply not true. I'm correcting misinformation, that's all. | 02:02 |
| Amaranth | if someone is willing to use breezy right now they really should be beyond needing help in #ubuntu | 02:02 |
| KaiL_ | Kamion: doesn't care that much | 02:02 |
| mdke | Amaranth, well... sometimes you can get help on complex matters in #ubuntu | 02:02 |
| Kamion | KaiL_: not true either. | 02:02 |
| KaiL_ | =if even one package in hoary is not installable, there will be a bug very very soon | 02:02 |
| Kamion | KaiL_: I care really rather deeply. It blocks my work. | 02:03 |
| KaiL_ | if this happenes in breezy, it's something for the todo list | 02:03 |
| Amaranth | mdke: Well, it's not like we say "using breezy? FOAD" or anything. But if they bring up problems with X, etc and they're using breezy we tell them to go back to hoary. | 02:03 |
| === mdke nods | ||
| Amaranth | KaiL_: uninstallable packages in universe are one thing, uninstallable parts of the desktop seed are another | 02:04 |
| KaiL_ | Amaranth: you run gnome? | 02:04 |
| Amaranth | yes | 02:04 |
| mdz | daniels: I think the keyboard guessing should only be done on first install, and not reconfigure | 02:04 |
| KaiL_ | with kde it's WAY more fun to use breezy | 02:04 |
| mdz | daniels: of course, that breaks the live cd | 02:04 |
| Amaranth | KaiL_: sucks to be you then, you were warned ;) | 02:05 |
| Amaranth | although i have most of kde installed | 02:05 |
| KaiL_ | because there are still many apps in main (!), which can't be build with gcc4 | 02:05 |
| KaiL_ | afaik there's nothing done in breezy/universe... | 02:05 |
| Amaranth | main transition finished already, didn't it? | 02:05 |
| Amaranth | KaiL_: that's a lie | 02:05 |
| KaiL_ | Amaranth: for kde packages | 02:06 |
| Amaranth | https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/CxxLibraryList | 02:06 |
| Amaranth | dude, i have kicker and KDE libs installed | 02:06 |
| daniels | mdz: right. that's the problem, is that it's a probing-type thing. hrm. | 02:06 |
| KaiL_ | Amaranth: and? | 02:06 |
| mdz | daniels: I consider it in a different class than hardware probing, though | 02:06 |
| mdz | hardware probing on reconfigure makes sense to me, but re-guessing the layout (especially if they've changed it) seems counter-intuitive | 02:07 |
| Amaranth | KaiL_: as of right now kubuntu-desktop is installable | 02:07 |
| KaiL_ | Amaranth: amarok? | 02:08 |
| Amaranth | KaiL_: if it's a part of kubuntu-desktop, sure | 02:08 |
| KaiL_ | k3b? | 02:08 |
| KaiL_ | kscreensaver? | 02:08 |
| KaiL_ | all NOT installable | 02:08 |
| Amaranth | k3b isn't kubuntu-desktop | 02:08 |
| mdz | daniels: it seems like the live CD is the odd man out; similar semantics make sense for both a user-initiated dpkg-reconfigure and the LTSP case | 02:08 |
| Amaranth | KaiL_: What is your point? | 02:08 |
| wasabi | mdz, so what's up with java/ :) | 02:09 |
| mdz | wasabi: I sent you some messages in this channel earlier today | 02:09 |
| wasabi | oh | 02:09 |
| mdz | Jun 03 10:47:17 <mdz> wasabi: looks like libxerces2-java is the last free-java-sdk package | 02:09 |
| wasabi | ahh ok will grab it | 02:09 |
| mdz | Jun 03 10:21:27 <mdz> wasabi_: I've updatedhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~mdz/temp/java-main.txt | 02:09 |
| KaiL_ | only that the kde stuff in main is still not done and afaik nobody had time for the packages in universe | 02:10 |
| Amaranth | KaiL_: and all of those _are_ installable | 02:10 |
| KaiL_ | Amaranth: in breezy? | 02:10 |
| Amaranth | yes | 02:10 |
| KaiL_ | http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/testing/breezy_probs.html | 02:10 |
| KaiL_ | uninstallable packages: | 02:10 |
| KaiL_ | amarok(i386) | 02:10 |
| Amaranth | not up to date | 02:10 |
| Amaranth | i'll believe my computer over a static web page | 02:11 |
| KaiL_ | just ran apt-get update and it's still same | 02:11 |
| Amaranth | no offense Kamion | 02:11 |
| Kamion | it's hardly static | 02:11 |
| Kamion | I just updated it, so it's current with respect to the archive | 02:11 |
| Amaranth | KaiL_: just ran apt-get update and they're still installable | 02:12 |
| Kamion | they so aren't | 02:12 |
| Amaranth | synaptic is lying to me? | 02:12 |
| Kamion | you have pre-C++-transition libraries installed locally | 02:12 |
| Kamion | try a fresh chroot | 02:12 |
| Amaranth | ah :P | 02:12 |
| Kamion | e.g. | 02:12 |
| Kamion | Depends: kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.4.0) but it is not installable | 02:12 |
| Kamion | kdelibs4c2 | 4:3.4.1-0ubuntu2 | breezy | amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, sparc | 02:13 |
| KaiL_ | bingo | 02:13 |
| Amaranth | ah well, KDE users get what they deserve :D | 02:13 |
| Kamion | it needs to be rebuilt once all its libraries have been transitioned | 02:13 |
| KaiL_ | amarok needs some fixes to build with gcc4 | 02:13 |
| Kamion | Amaranth: anyone assuming breezy_probs.html is bogus usually turns out to be wrong, I'm afraid. :-) | 02:13 |
| Kamion | at least since I made it mirror at the same frequency as archive updates a little while ago | 02:14 |
| KaiL_ | k3b doesn't look much better | 02:14 |
| Amaranth | Kamion: that explains it | 02:15 |
| Amaranth | last time i looked at it it was out of date | 02:15 |
| Kamion | I really doubt that | 02:15 |
| Kamion | this was a while back | 02:15 |
| Kamion | people often assume it's wrong if they're testing in a non-fresh chroot | 02:15 |
| Amaranth | well, someone it said was uninstallable installed | 02:15 |
| Amaranth | err | 02:15 |
| Kamion | that's no proof of anything; it's looking at whether it's installable with respect only to packages currently in main | 02:16 |
| Amaranth | how can i have packages on my system that can't be setup in a chroot? | 02:16 |
| Kamion | it might depend on stuff in universe, or it might depend on old packages that you still have installed but that have been removed from the archive since | 02:16 |
| mdke | anyone speak spanish? | 02:16 |
| mdke | i was wondering what those comments on the FrontPage of the wiki mean | 02:17 |
| Kamion | most package managers provide a facility to search for obsolete packages | 02:17 |
| Amaranth | yeah, the only 'obsolete' ones i have around are local installs | 02:18 |
| Amaranth | except for the one package for enigma | 02:18 |
| KaiL_ | ia32-libs << compatibility libs to run i386 on amd64? | 02:19 |
| KaiL_ | I wonder, why it lists kleopatra as not installable | 02:21 |
| KaiL_ | ah, needs gnupg2 from universe | 02:22 |

| daniels | mdz: mmm, I suppose. i was thinking of a Debconf question that you could set that got reset to defaul t(e.g. do_reprobe_keyboard). | 02:26 |
| mdz | daniels: sounds reasonable; the default would be off, and casper would set it to true? | 02:34 |
| mdz | and it would get bumped to true on initial installs? | 02:34 |
| KaiL_ | daniels: why don't you use "radeon" as default driver for ATI R200 cards? does that also break S3 as the commercial drivers do? | 02:36 |
| tseng | KaiL_: the ati driver loads radeon | 02:40 |
| KaiL_ | afaik you get no DRI then... | 02:40 |
| tseng | vs loading radeon explicitly? | 02:41 |
| KaiL_ | yes | 02:41 |
| KaiL_ | and I'd like to see "dynamic clocks" autoenabled for the mobile Radeon, that brings us a lot closer to XP in run time | 02:44 |
| tseng | KaiL_: i already asked that, supposedly it greatly kills performance for some folks | 02:47 |
| KaiL_ | I think, those can disable it, if they really care | 02:48 |
| tseng | erm | 02:48 |
| KaiL_ | those guys will also enable fglrx and kill S3 then :) | 02:48 |
| KaiL_ | most people I know ONLY care about run time | 02:48 |
| tseng | i think you are wrong about the ati/radeon no accel thing | 02:49 |
| tseng | i changed to radeon explicitly and its still sucking | 02:50 |
| KaiL_ | "still sucking"? | 02:50 |
| tseng | yeah, like 230fps | 02:50 |
| KaiL_ | that's no DRI... | 02:50 |

| tseng | in that thing that daniels will beat me senseless for calling a benchmark | 02:50 |

| Reza_M | What's the goal of the ServerInstall project? A derivate dist or adding some futures to the standard One-CD ubuntu? | 09:59 |

| Reza_M | So, It's very similar to SBS | 10:02 |

| Mithrandir | the ServerInstallation spec is still very early, it seems. | 10:04 |
| Mithrandir | it doesn't appear to be a derivative, just some features added | 10:04 |
| Reza_M | Base install only option -> rapid installation, minimal questions, auto partitioning (config file defined?) | 10:06 |

| daniels | mdz: sound sensible? | 12:26 |
| daniels | KaiL_: also, enabling DynamicClocks is *bad*. it's not just performance implications, it's that it causes a whole bunch of random laptops to just randomly lock up. | 12:27 |
| mjg59 | daniels: Do we have any idea how to enable the CRT out on Radeons or Geforces? | 12:27 |
| === ogra [~ogra@p5089F78B.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| === susus [~sz@p5089F78B.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| daniels | mjg59: radeons should happen automatically. nfi about geforces. | 12:31 |
| mjg59 | daniels: "Automatically" how? | 12:31 |
| daniels | mjg59: if you start X with a CRT plugged in, it should mirror | 12:31 |
| mjg59 | What if I plug in a CRT afterwards? | 12:31 |
| daniels | ... you lose | 12:32 |
| mjg59 | (And what if the CRT has different DDC limitations?) | 12:32 |
| mjg59 | I... see | 12:32 |
| daniels | if the CRT has higher limitations, it'll just expand | 12:32 |
| daniels | if the CRT has lower limitations, it should set up scrolling | 12:32 |
| mjg59 | But it ought to be possible to rip that code out of the radeon driver and implement a userspace tool to enable/disable? | 12:32 |
| daniels | um, sort of, yeah | 12:33 |
| mjg59 | Um. "Sort of"? | 12:33 |
| sabdfl | how do i prevent the console from blanking? | 12:33 |
| daniels | basically you want RADEON_CRTC_GEN_CNTL and RADEON_CRTC2_GEN_CNTL fiddling, et al | 12:33 |
| mjg59 | Ok, so it's mostly just basic register setup? | 12:33 |
| daniels | but you'd also probably need to program the clocks for that mode | 12:33 |
| daniels | i can't speak as to how complex it might be | 12:34 |
| daniels | the best would be a way to kick the X server, but we don't have one of those at the moment | 12:34 |
| mjg59 | Hmm. So it has different clocks for internal and external? Yeah, I guess that makes sense. | 12:34 |
| mjg59 | Ideally we want to be able to trigger on hotkey events | 12:34 |
| daniels | mjg59: well, on a laptop, it'd probably power down the crtc if you're just using lvds | 12:34 |
| daniels | mjg59: so you'd need to bring it up and then punch in the right parameters to get the mode you so desire | 12:35 |
| mjg59 | Yeah | 12:35 |
| mjg59 | But there's existing code that does that in the X server, right? | 12:35 |
| daniels | theoretically you could tell it to always assume a 1024x768 CRT and use a userspace tool to just force the clocks on and off | 12:35 |
| elmo | sabdfl: setvesablank [guessing though] | 12:35 |
| daniels | but that's, um, kind of nasty | 12:35 |
| trulux | heya | 12:35 |
| daniels | mjg59: yeah, mostly in radeon_driver.c | 12:35 |
| sabdfl | elmo: thanks | 12:35 |
| sabdfl | elmo: i'm trying to debug these lockups | 12:35 |
| mjg59 | daniels: My hacky thing was going to be to use whatever the screen resolution was at the time, and let people use xrandr to set that | 12:36 |
| daniels | heh | 12:37 |
| daniels | crtc always on -> no battery life though | 12:37 |
| mjg59 | Yeah | 12:37 |
| mjg59 | So have the display key generate an event that checks what hardware the machine has, checks what resolution the screen currently is and then calls the appropriate userspace tool | 12:38 |
| mjg59 | Then possibly hack the screen resolution app to update that whenever the user changes the resolution | 12:39 |
| daniels | ideally we'd be able to HAL it up and have X get kicked on display hotplug events | 12:39 |
| === daniels waves his hands some more. | ||
| mjg59 | Yes. Yes, that would be the ideal solution. | 12:39 |
| mjg59 | If you can get that into 6.9/7.0, I will love you forever | 12:39 |
| daniels | ha ha | 12:39 |
| daniels | you do know we're releasing in like august, yeah? | 12:39 |
| mjg59 | Yes | 12:40 |
| elmo | sabdfl: might be worth trying a 2.6.12 kernel at some stage too | 12:40 |
| daniels | mjg59: cool | 12:40 |
| tseng | elmo: are you the person to bother about putting my key in main keyring? | 12:40 |
| mjg59 | (I hasten to add that I won't be writing that) | 12:40 |
| daniels | mjg59: soft. | 12:41 |
| mjg59 | Why will Intel not release 2D specs? | 12:42 |
| daniels | mjg59: because they hate our freedom | 12:42 |
| elmo | tseng: if you've got TB/CC approval, mail keyring@ | 12:42 |
| daniels | ergo, terrorists | 12:42 |
| sabdfl | elmo: thanks, seems to have worked | 12:42 |
| sabdfl | elmo: you at my place somewhere? | 12:42 |
| elmo | sabdfl: mossop street | 12:42 |
| mjg59 | The only public information seems to be "The 2D registers are a combination of registers based on the Video Graphics Array adapter and others that Intel has added to support graphics modes that have color depths, resolutions and hardware acceleration features that go beyond the original VGA standard" | 12:43 |
| mjg59 | THANKS, INTEL | 12:43 |

| Micksa | I'll do whatever I can to figure this out. | 01:39 |
| Micksa | I have the ACPI spec, and I WILL read it | 01:39 |
| Micksa | don't make me do it, cos I will | 01:40 |
| mjg59 | It's almost certainly the kernel drivers rather than an acpi spec issue | 01:40 |
| mjg59 | With the possible exception of us not doing anything with the _GTF method | 01:40 |
| mjg59 | Micksa: Oh, did you put /var/log/dmesg anywhere? | 01:41 |
| Micksa | no. hang on. | 01:41 |
| Micksa | http://knobbits.org/tmp/dmesg | 01:43 |
| Micksa | http://knobbits.org/tmp/dsdt-i6000-a06.bin | 01:43 |
| mjg59 | Micksa: Ah! | 01:45 |
| mjg59 | Micksa: SATA drive | 01:45 |
| Micksa | sata interface | 01:45 |
| Micksa | the drive is actually PATA | 01:46 |
| mjg59 | Micksa: Right, yes, there's a patch to make that work. I'll try to get that into the next kernel. | 01:46 |
| mjg59 | At the moment, if you have SATA it'll all blow up | 01:46 |
| mjg59 | Micksa: Ok, I'll sort out a debpatch for fabbione and we'll get that into the kernel | 01:47 |
| mjg59 | With a bit of luck you'll be able to test it next week | 01:47 |
| Mithrandir | mjg59: if you need testing of that on amd64, I'm all ears. :-) | 01:47 |
| mjg59 | Mithrandir: Before amd64 really has a prayer, someone needs to port vbetool to use x86emu | 01:47 |
| daniels | yeah | 01:48 |
| Mithrandir | mjg59: how hard is that? | 01:49 |
| mjg59 | Mithrandir: Not indescribably, but not something I have time for right now | 01:49 |
| Micksa | mjg: if you can point me at the patch I'll be more than happy to test it :) | 01:49 |
| Mithrandir | mjg59: would I be able to do it if I suddenly was bored during an afternoon? | 01:50 |
| mjg59 | Mithrandir: Yes | 01:50 |
| Mithrandir | ok, I might become suddenly bored, then. | 01:50 |
| mjg59 | Mithrandir: Basically, we just need a shim to convert the lirc calls into appropriate x86emu ones | 01:50 |
| mjg59 | Uh, lrmi (not lirc) | 01:50 |
| daniels | heh, lirc | 01:50 |
| Mithrandir | mjg59: I've just skimmed the x86emu stuff, and it didn't look unsurmountable. | 01:50 |
| mjg59 | Mithrandir: On x86, we want to use lrmi rather than x86emu. On amd64, we have no vm86 mode so need to use x86emu | 01:51 |
| mjg59 | That also gives us the DDC code for video probing on amd64 for free | 01:51 |
| Mithrandir | mjg59: hwinfo gives us that on amd64 for free already. I've been poking daniels to use that for a week or so now. | 01:52 |
| Micksa | oh great, amd64 trashed vm86 | 01:53 |
| daniels | Mithrandir: i've been busy fixing your keyboard :P | 01:53 |
| mjg59 | Micksa: http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/5/23/116 | 01:53 |
| mjg59 | Micksa: More usefully, http://lkml.org/lkml/diff/2005/5/23/116/1 | 01:53 |
| daniels | plus, I have some reservations about hwinfo | 01:53 |
| Micksa | mjg59: thanks muchly | 01:54 |
| mjg59 | t | 01:54 |
| Micksa | now I just have to figure out how to get it into the ubuntu kernel :) | 01:55 |
| Mithrandir | daniels: that's like the five last minutes, but yes. :-) | 01:55 |

| fabbione | hey sabdfl | 02:05 |
| Micksa | is there a page on "ubunto kernel package hacking" that someone could point me to? :) | 02:06 |
| Kamion | tepsipakki: rbscrobbler | 0.0.9r-1 | breezy/universe | source | 02:06 |
| Kamion | tepsipakki: failed to build on all architectures | 02:06 |
| fabbione | Micksa: not really.. what do you need to do exactly? | 02:06 |
| Micksa | add a patch to the kernel and compile | 02:07 |
| Micksa | preferrably for just the one subarch :) | 02:07 |
| tepsipakki | kamion: heh, sweet | 02:07 |
| fabbione | oh you are on #u-k.. let's keep the talk there | 02:07 |
| Kamion | tepsipakki: it's build-depending on python-dev but doing -I/usr/include/python2.3 | 02:07 |
| Kamion | needs to become python2.4-dev and -I/usr/include/python2.4, probably, but test in a clean chroot to ensure it isn't relying on other things from the unversioned python-dev | 02:08 |
| tepsipakki | will do, exams suck | 02:08 |
| elmo | daniels: btw, I have a desktop here where the autoconfig stuff fails to generate a working config (LCD says "out of range"), it's a recent-ish onboard intel gfx, is that already known? [I remember you told me about something to do with intel and X, but not what] | 02:12 |
| daniels | elmo: hrm, out of range shouldn't happen | 02:12 |
| daniels | elmo: using d-sub or dvi? | 02:12 |
| elmo | d-sub | 02:12 |
| daniels | wack | 02:13 |
| daniels | it doesn't say what frequencies it's trying to use, does it? | 02:13 |
| elmo | hum, I don't think it did, in the xorg.conf file at least. helpfully, of course, I've reinstalled it headless | 02:13 |

| Mithrandir | 14:57 < Mithrandir> ooo's patch system is also _really_ nice. | 03:06 |
| Mithrandir | 14:57 < Mithrandir> it actually saves a copy of the patch so you can apply patch, edit patch, unapply patch and it works. | 03:06 |
| Mithrandir | 14:59 < Mithrandir> and why did /usr/share/dpatch/dpatch-run suddenly not become executable any more? | 03:06 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: right, I replied with "maybe dpkg 2 is the final solution -> like dbs, but without the tarball-in-tarball ugliness" | 03:06 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: I always tend to forget that e. g. warty's dpatch does not yet have dpatch-run | 03:07 |
| doko | pitti: can dpkg 2 more than one tarball? | 03:07 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: and I generally find the concept of executable patches ugly; it's a patch, nothing more | 03:07 |
| pitti | but that's just me maybe | 03:07 |
| pitti | doko: ask Keybuk :-) | 03:07 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: dbs with tarball is not bad, but if you like that, cdbs with tarball.mk is the same and you get the cdbs magic | 03:08 |
| pitti | doko: for now I think that the orig.tar.gz _is_ the tarball which is unpacked in a build-tree/, then the patches are applied | 03:09 |
| pitti | doko: there is a documentation about the concept of dpkg 2 somewhere | 03:09 |
| mako | elmo: around? | 03:09 |
| elmo | mako: yeah | 03:09 |

| pitti | Mithrandir: yes, and at the same time you certainly don't want OO.o's patch system for that :-) | 03:10 |
| pitti | so dear Mr. dpkg maintainer, give us a system that is sane and makes everybody happy, kthxbye :-) | 03:11 |
| mako | elmo: so i should really upload these goofy userlinux packages.. | 03:11 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: well, true. Just the _very nice_ property of saving applied patches and using those to unapply. | 03:12 |
| pitti | oh, yeah; and a standard script to edit them | 03:12 |
| Mithrandir | *shrug*; I use emacs. :) | 03:13 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: I wrote cdbs-edit-patch to make it much less pain | 03:13 |

| dooglus | perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: | 08:49 |
| dooglus | LANGUAGE = "en_GB:en", | 08:49 |
| dooglus | eventually it gets to 'setting up locales'. would it be better to do that first? | 08:50 |
| kent | dooglus, breezy is going to be broken lots of time before it gets stable, even more broken that that ;) | 08:51 |
| dooglus | kent: sure. | 08:52 |
| dooglus | kent: I just thought I'd mention it. | 08:52 |
| dooglus | last I heard even X wouldn't start... | 08:52 |
| lamont | dooglus: you could always file a bug about the locales errors during upgrade... | 08:53 |
| dooglus | lamont: i'll do that. | 08:54 |
| kent | dooglus, I dont dare to use breezy becaus of those problems. It seem sane to use it when it freezes to perhaps find bugs etc, but during this early time I guess people things change to much.. (but im no expert though..) | 08:54 |

| tsume | hi there | 09:55 |
| tsume | is there a patch for the xclients? or a temp hack? | 09:55 |
| uniq | the temp hack i used was to put exit 0 in the /var/lib/dpkg/info/xbase-clients.postinst (or preinst don't remember which one, but it's printed in the error) | 09:58 |
| tsume | hmm, okay I'll try. Minute | 09:58 |
| uniq | it's a evil hack to force it. | 09:58 |
| tsume | uniq: if I already upgraded to the broken client, what am I supposed to do to fix it? a reconfigure? | 09:59 |
| uniq | tsume: after editing the file in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ you can run dpkg --configure -a | 10:01 |
| tsume | uniq: what line did you place the exit 0? | 10:01 |
| uniq | at the top somewhere.. directly after set -e | 10:01 |
| tsume | oh :) heh. How dirty | 10:02 |
| uniq | it's very evil :) | 10:02 |
| tsume | now I feel filty | 10:02 |
| uniq | didn't have the time to investigate.. i basically just needed it to check that another package installed cleanly :) | 10:02 |
| tsume | hmm | 10:03 |
| uniq | dpkg --configure -a didn't do it? | 10:03 |
| tsume | no | 10:03 |
| tsume | it starts, but X doesn't display anything | 10:04 |
| tsume | same as before that hack | 10:04 |
| uniq | hum. | 10:04 |
| uniq | well.. then the hack is for the wrong problem. | 10:04 |
| === Nafallo [~nafallo@nafallo.user] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| tsume | :) maybe.. its because I'm trying to run 2.6.12? | 10:04 |
| tsume | frek | 10:05 |
| uniq | that souldn't be a problem afaik. | 10:05 |
| tsume | I set the driver back to nv, and now I'm getting errors for font 'fixed' again | 10:05 |
| uniq | heh.. great. | 10:06 |
| tsume | I already rebuilt the nvidia driver again, so I didn't think it was that. The fonts are not correct | 10:06 |
| tsume | uniq: what do your font paths say? :) If you don't mind | 10:06 |
| uniq | i use a even more ugly hack there.. you don't want to know :) | 10:07 |
| tsume | I don't care :) | 10:07 |
| tsume | I'll unhack my system later | 10:07 |
| tsume | I had the font paths changed, but they keep changing the stupid font paths | 10:07 |
| uniq | i run breezy in a chroot.. and started xfs on hoary.. and added tcp/127.0.0.1:7100 in breezy to make it start. | 10:07 |
| uniq | i didn't change the paths. | 10:07 |
| tsume | it was the paths last time, and I had to change them again | 10:08 |
| tsume | uniq: lol. I don't like your hack | 10:08 |
| tsume | I want to know where the font paths are in this current change | 10:08 |
| uniq | i know. i did that too.. once. i can check the backup of my old breezy /etc | 10:08 |
| uniq | /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc and so on. | 10:09 |
| uniq | is the last working config i had on breezy. | 10:09 |
| tsume | ok fixed | 10:11 |
| uniq | did it work? | 10:11 |
| tsume | I needed to run mkfontdir | 10:11 |
| uniq | ah. | 10:11 |
| === JStrike [~joel@c2-368-1.eno.dial.mweb.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| tsume | you need to edit the sh script 'mkfontdir' the program it runs is no longer in /usr/X11R6/bin | 10:11 |
| tsume | its in /usr/bin | 10:11 |
| uniq | then i'll unhack one of my changes too :) | 10:12 |
| tsume | then you make each directory, and Xorg will work again | 10:12 |
| tsume | Xorg needs the fonts.dir in each font directory, or it won't start | 10:12 |
| tsume | I'm a mr. know it all when it comes to problems, but some problems don't take 3 minutes like this one | 10:14 |
| uniq | then i'm mr. make it work fast. :) | 10:15 |
| uniq | and ugly :) | 10:15 |
| tsume | heh | 10:16 |
| tsume | I like fixing instead of hacking | 10:16 |
| tsume | its so easy compared to your time-wasting-way :) | 10:16 |
| uniq | as i said, i only needed it installed to test another package. | 10:16 |
| uniq | didn't commit my change to a cvs or anything :) | 10:16 |
| tsume | I need the latest and greatest for real work ;) | 10:16 |
| uniq | i use hoary for real work for now. | 10:17 |
| tsume | heh | 10:18 |
| tsume | well, I can't stand bugs in old software | 10:19 |
| dooglus | tsume: is there a trick to get 'gnome-terminal' working? It's all black for me. | 10:19 |
| dooglus | xterm is fine | 10:19 |
| tsume | minute | 10:19 |
| tsume | well.. | 10:19 |
| tsume | gnome's cdburning program was broken last time, so I had to install KDE | 10:20 |

| tsume | the gnome burning tool wouldn't burn all the data to a disc. I had to place less on a DVD or cd for it to burn, like about 550MB when is supposed to hold 700MB | 10:21 |

| dooglus | interestingly, using kde instead of gnome seems to have fixed almost everything. | 11:02 |
| tepsipakki | dooglus: my breezy runs fine with gnome.. | 11:03 |
| herve | mine too | 11:03 |
| tepsipakki | check that all the relevant processes are dead before you login | 11:04 |
| herve | ha yes | 11:04 |
| mako | tseng: sounds totally rasonable | 11:04 |
| herve | that is an issue with gnome | 11:04 |
| tepsipakki | i had to reboot my laptop today for the first time in two months, and I've been running breezy from the day it was opened ;) | 11:05 |
| tseng | mako: great, can we set up a time? | 11:05 |
| === Nafallo [~nafallo@nafallo.user] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Read] | ||
| tseng | mako: i didnt want to just dictate one :P | 11:05 |
| tepsipakki | the reason being that the xorg.conf had wrong font-paths and restarting it messed my console (it stilla does, but at least it's usable) | 11:05 |
| herve | tepsipakki, I doubt laptops are designed to run 24/24 | 11:05 |
| dooglus | when I try running gnome, I just see a completely blank desktop | 11:06 |
| === tsume [~tsume@tsume.user] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| dooglus | it's a uniform brown though, not the black and white pixels you sometimes see | 11:06 |
| dooglus | and the CD light on the pc keeps flashing. | 11:06 |
| tepsipakki | dooglus: are you logging in from gdm? | 11:06 |
| tsume | heh, well by using fluxbox, I increase my GFX card performance by 50 frames | 11:07 |
| Mithrandir | tsume: glxgears is not a benchmark. | 11:07 |
| tseng | holy crap X works. | 11:07 |
| tsume | Mithrandir: no its not, but it means gnome and kde take too much CPU | 11:07 |
| dooglus | tepsipakki: I am, yes | 11:07 |
| tseng | tsume: does it? | 11:07 |
| tsume | tseng: I just was in gnome. I tried glxgears, and the fps was exactly 2233.600 | 11:08 |
| tseng | why dont you decide cpu usage based on top or ps | 11:08 |
| Mithrandir | or flipping a coin. | 11:08 |
| tseng | instead of FPS. | 11:08 |
| tsume | tseng: I don't want to nice every app I use :P | 11:08 |
| tseng | i mean that might sound good in a game review hobbyist site.. :P | 11:08 |
| tsume | well.. with relevence to graphics | 11:08 |
| tseng | but its not real | 11:08 |
| tsume | yes it is | 11:09 |
| tseng | what is gnome cpu usage relevant to graphics | 11:09 |
| tseng | the work should all be on your GPU | 11:09 |
| tsume | tseng: no | 11:09 |
| tseng | thats why you spent all that money on it | 11:09 |
| tsume | tseng: if that were true, C# would be faster/better for writing games ;) | 11:09 |
| tseng | erm | 11:09 |
| tseng | im running glxgears for kicks | 11:09 |
| tseng | its barely using 20% of my cpu | 11:09 |
| tseng | which is scaled down to 600mhz | 11:10 |
| tseng | all the work is on the gpu, thats the entire point of DRI and all that | 11:10 |
| tseng | "direct" | 11:10 |
| tepsipakki | dooglus: your session might be screwed somehow. try moving .gnome2/session out of the way | 11:10 |
| herve | and I thought #u-d was having serious discussions :-) | 11:10 |
| tsume | barely takes any on mine, which it doesn't matter, The screen still has to maintain the screen | 11:10 |
| tsume | s/screen/card/ | 11:11 |
| dooglus | tepsipakki: OK. I'll try rebooting too. | 11:11 |
| tsume | tseng: you need to think out of the box | 11:11 |
| tseng | oh man | 11:11 |
| tsume | tseng: you have tunnel vision | 11:11 |
| tepsipakki | dooglus: no need to, just make sure no gconfs or gnome* is running | 11:11 |
| dooglus | there are 2 gconfs running... | 11:11 |
| tsume | my eyes! | 11:11 |
| tsume | light blue sucks on a white terminal :) | 11:12 |
| tepsipakki | dooglus: so logout, wait for a sec and if they are still there, kill them.. | 11:12 |
| herve | dooglus, the b0rked one and the one you tried later | 11:12 |
| herve | dooglus, rebooting will help cleaning out | 11:12 |
| dooglus | herve: maybe. or b0rked one and b0rked two :) | 11:12 |
| herve | the b0rked twins | 11:13 |
| herve | the new horror movie! | 11:13 |
| dooglus | nope, still no good. | 11:14 |
| tsume | tseng: now.. if I loaded all kinds of apps which had all these pretty effects on the GUI. my framerate would be lower like it should be because the card has to maintain the whole screen, not just the current application | 11:14 |
| tsume | like having the screen filled with icons which also have AA enabled for the text | 11:14 |
| herve | big deal | 11:14 |
| tepsipakki | as if they keep the cpu/gpu busy.. | 11:15 |
| tsume | herve: 50 frames is a big deal here :) | 11:15 |
| tepsipakki | a static screen consumes only your eyes | 11:15 |
| tsume | tepsipakki: no, they don't keep it busy. They just take a bit more to render so the rate drops a bit in gears | 11:15 |
| tseng | if you were playing a game fullscreen, xdamage wouldnt be updating all your fancy window manager effects | 11:15 |
| tseng | theyd not be visible | 11:15 |
| herve | tsume, remember gnome or kde are desktop envs for people working | 11:15 |
| tseng | so your use case stops at glxgears | 11:15 |
| herve | not for seeing gears spinning faster and faster | 11:16 |
| tsume | tseng: heh. If the person doesn't use games? ;) | 11:16 |
| tseng | tsume: then he needs to turn off the flash whiz bang crap and get back to work, I guess | 11:16 |
| tepsipakki | the only thing "moving" on my screen is the clock on the panel | 11:16 |
| tsume | tseng: heh. Well there are some scientific GL based apps. :) | 11:17 |
| herve | althought I'd like to see more things like cairo exploiting the capabilities of my graphics card | 11:17 |
| tseng | tsume: are there scientify GL based candy effects? | 11:17 |
| tsume | tseng: :) | 11:17 |
| tseng | s/y/ic | 11:17 |
| herve | and speeding up screen refresh | 11:17 |
| tsume | tseng: well, there are a few models which mutate and spin | 11:17 |
| tsume | they don't take up the whole screen. | 11:18 |
| dooglus | aaah... it wasn't a b0rked gconfd that was causing problems, but a b0rked nautilus... | 11:18 |
| tepsipakki | dooglus: yes, it is a gnome-specific process ;) | 11:18 |
| herve | tseng, let's ask blender folks if their productivity falls within gnome or kde ;-) | 11:18 |
| herve | dooglus, I thought you rebooter | 11:18 |
| herve | rebooted | 11:18 |
| seb128 | elmo: around? | 11:18 |
| tsume | herve: it won't since the desktop isn't showing | 11:19 |
| elmo | seb128: yes | 11:19 |
| tsume | herve: unless you're a goob who uses blender in window mode | 11:19 |
| seb128 | elmo: can you sort gtkhtml3.8/main for evo build if that's not sorted yet? | 11:19 |
| herve | tsume, same in a game, so big deal if glxgears loses 50 frames | 11:19 |
| dooglus | herve: I am just about to. | 11:19 |
| seb128 | elmo: evo is broken due to eds maj for the moment | 11:19 |
| tsume | herve: its 50 frames :> | 11:19 |
| herve | tsume, and you talked about tunnels? | 11:19 |
| tepsipakki | tsume: in this case about 2% | 11:20 |
| tseng | herve: and boxes. | 11:20 |
| elmo | oh god damn | 11:20 |
| elmo | who pulled in the mono stuff while it depends on insane libgal from the 1700's? | 11:20 |
| tsume | herve: :> maybe I really need those 50 frames | 11:20 |
| seb128 | not me | 11:20 |
| tseng | brandon@lappy:~$ apt-cache depends mono | grep gal | 11:20 |
| tseng | brandon@lappy:~$ | 11:20 |
| herve | tsume, who needs glxgears anyway? | 11:20 |
| tseng | ? | 11:21 |
| tsume | herve: 50 extra frames is good if I'm modifying the engine | 11:21 |
| herve | just run glxinfo to read "direct" or not | 11:21 |
| elmo | o gtkhtml3.0: libgtkhtml3.0-4, libgtkhtml3.0-dev | 11:21 |
| elmo | [Reverse-Depends: libgnome2.0-cil] | 11:21 |
| elmo | [Reverse-Build-Depends: gtk-sharp] | 11:21 |
| elmo | tseng: ^-- which in turn pulls in gal | 11:21 |
| elmo | (2.0) | 11:21 |
| elmo | seb128: done | 11:21 |
| seb128 | elmo: thanks | 11:21 |
| seb128 | hum | 11:21 |
| seb128 | we still have gtkhtml3.0? | 11:21 |
| seb128 | WTF | 11:21 |
| seb128 | there is 3.2/3.4/3.6/3.8 since | 11:22 |
| herve | seb128, I was stuck trying to transition a package using it a while ago :-) | 11:22 |
| tseng | ok its: libgtkhtml3.0-dev (>= 3.0.10) | 11:22 |
| tseng | this should be made 3.8 in ubuntu? | 11:22 |
| seb128 | 3.6 or 3.8 yep | 11:23 |
| tseng | I can do that, np | 11:23 |
| seb128 | 3.8 is really new, 3.6 is the hoary version | 11:23 |
| seb128 | thanks | 11:23 |
| tseng | so 3.6 then? | 11:24 |
| seb128 | should be fine | 11:24 |
| dooglus | rebooting and "adduser"ing a new user has allowed me to use gnome. | 11:24 |
| herve | dooglus, still not your own account? | 11:25 |
| tseng | libgtkhtml3.6-dev (>= 3.6.0) | 11:25 |
| tseng | off we go. | 11:25 |
| dooglus | herve: that's the next thing to try :) | 11:25 |
| dooglus | herve: my own account is ok without my ~/.gnome2 ... | 11:26 |
| tseng | elmo: did you process my key yet? i need to upload mono first or this will all just take a dump on ppc | 11:27 |
| dooglus | herve: and even with my .gnome2. excellent. I've no idea why it wasn't working before, but thanks guys. | 11:27 |
| elmo | tseng: no, and I'm kind of busy with a debian emergency right now, sorry - I'll try and do it later | 11:29 |
| tseng | elmo: k. i can do it some other time then. thanks for pointing it out | 11:29 |
