| Consty | crimsun: Heres the thing with that, even though I put in a refresh rate, it spits me back a horizontal refresh rate that my moniter does not support | 04:45 |
| Consty | crimsun: it seems like the refresh rate you tell it applies to vertical and horizontal, I need one that can take a parm for both | 04:45 |

| crimsun | (I don't use arts) | 04:49 |
| _Church_of_Foamy | what is that? | 04:50 |
| _Church_of_Foamy | artsdsp? | 04:50 |
| Consty | crimsun: I just tried it and I didn't get the same result as you, unless you put in 50hz instead of 60hz which is what I can do vertically | 04:50 |
| crimsun | Consty: you said 60 | 04:50 |
| crimsun | err, you said 50 | 04:50 |
| Consty | 50horiz 60vert | 04:50 |

| Consty | I'll try it though | 04:50 |
| _Church_of_Foamy | artsdsp? | 04:50 |
| crimsun | try the other modeline gen | 04:51 |
| Consty | I know I've tried this modeline before in slack 10.1 and it didn't work | 04:51 |
| Consty | but maybe x.org supports it now or something, I"ll test it | 04:51 |
| _Church_of_Foamy | anyone? | 04:51 |
| _Church_of_Foamy | crimsun whats artsdsp? | 04:52 |
| crimsun | _Church_of_Foamy: it's a wrapper. See the man page. | 04:52 |
| _Church_of_Foamy | kubuntu's manual? | 04:53 |

| Consty | done, alsamixer still doesn't respond | 05:52 |

| Consty | damn | 06:03 |
| KaiL | alsa is devided into 2 parts - the utils and the kernel modules | 06:04 |
| Consty | usually if they were built as modules and not built into the kernel I would think you'd be able to update them | 06:06 |

| KaiL | Jeezis: not anybody, everybody :) | 06:31 |
| crimsun | are you booting with "noinotify"? | 06:31 |
| Jeezis | no, should i be? | 06:34 |
| Jeezis | KaiL: having problems also? :-p | 06:34 |
| crimsun | well, if you like crashes, go ahead and continue booting without it | 06:34 |
| crimsun | =) | 06:34 |
| KaiL | Jeezis: here it did on X-login | 06:34 |
| KaiL | and several people told me the same | 06:35 |
| Jeezis | it's odd, i can log in just fine, and run alright, but several times now the cpu load just jumps to 100% and the system locks up | 06:35 |
| Jeezis | and the only way to get out of it is to do a hard reboot | 06:36 |
| KaiL | stay with 2.6.10 ;) | 06:36 |
| Jeezis | yeah, i'm gonna downgrade tonight | 06:37 |
| Jeezis | had no problems with 2.6.10 | 06:37 |
| KaiL | after that single test, 2.6.11 was forgotten for me ;) | 06:37 |
| Jeezis | this is so weird! i get spikes where my cpu load goes up to 80%+ and drops immediately | 06:38 |
| Jeezis | my system monitor looks like it has a heartbeat :-p | 06:38 |
| crimsun | 2.6.11 from universe has a known "feature" with inotify | 06:39 |

| dell500 | i've hooked up my other monitor so it might be that taking up the power | 08:35 |
| KaiL | how many is "crappy"? ;) | 08:35 |
| KaiL | <500? Then it's still in software mode | 08:35 |

| Trackilizer | using linux for the first time and its great | 02:33 |
| Trackilizer | im using Kubuntu but i want to try Gnome | 02:34 |
| Trackilizer | is that possible? | 02:34 |
| Trackilizer | can i choose wither KDE or Gnome on start up? | 02:34 |
| Trackilizer | either* | 02:34 |
| gdh | should just be a matter of installing gnome-desktop | 02:34 |
| astro76 | Trackilizer: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 02:34 |
| gdh | ah, am thinking debian =) | 02:35 |
| Trackilizer | ahh | 02:35 |
| === regeya [~shane@adsl-sp3-cdale176.micgi.com] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| gdh | yes, you can choose the session type from either kdm or gdm | 02:35 |
| Trackilizer | and how do i switch between the 2? | 02:35 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | and then on start up, click sesion | 02:35 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | and choose one | 02:35 |
| Trackilizer | i see | 02:35 |
| Trackilizer | so its apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? | 02:35 |
| Firetech | you probably want to prefix it with sudo | 02:36 |

| _Church_of_Foamy | i want to use | 08:18 |
| sproingie | how many computers? | 08:18 |
| _Church_of_Foamy | well max 4 | 08:18 |
| sproingie | you probably want to stick them onto a switch | 08:19 |
| _Church_of_Foamy | why? | 08:19 |
| _Church_of_Foamy | i just need a router thast actually good | 08:19 |
| sproingie | because otherwise you'll have to put 5 nics in your linux box | 08:19 |
| _Church_of_Foamy | so | 08:19 |
| _Church_of_Foamy | thats fine | 08:19 |
| sproingie | switch will be faster and cost less, then you have the linux box be the router | 08:20 |
| _Church_of_Foamy | ok | 08:20 |
| _Church_of_Foamy | why faster? | 08:20 |
| sproingie | put the boxes including the linux box on a switch, then set the linux box to be the gateway for the other 4 | 08:20 |
| sproingie | also attach just the linux box to the internet, and now it's a firewall | 08:21 |
| sproingie | if your switch is also a gateway, you can do a "router on a stick", but that's pretty tricky | 08:21 |
| sproingie | faster because the switch is dedicated switching hardware, while the linux box has to handle all the nics otherwise | 08:22 |
| sproingie | trust me, it's a pain | 08:22 |
| sproingie | any old 4-port or 10-port switch from best buy will do | 08:23 |
| sproingie | you could also go wireless and use the linux box as an AP. don't know enough about wireless to tell you how to set that up | 08:24 |

| nmorse | Because I hate GRUB | 08:36 |

| nmorse | Yeah, Debian did that too (with lilo back then) | 08:37 |
| nmorse | Something always went wrong | 08:37 |
| kay | I always hated lilo for that | 08:37 |
| nmorse | And then I'd use my woody disc to rescue the system (but only because I know how to work with lilo) | 08:37 |

| nmorse | I hate messing with grub though | 08:37 |
| nmorse | It doesn't stick to standard conventions | 08:37 |

| nmorse | Not like (0,1) | 08:38 |

| kay | That is Linux device naming of 2.4, and before | 08:38 |
| nmorse | Grub does it like this (hd0,0) for /dev/hda1 | 08:39 |

| nmorse | FreeBSD's bootloader is neet, and dynamic | 08:44 |

| nmorse | I like to use the FreeBSD bootloader to pick which disk to boot from | 08:50 |
| kay | But now, honestly, the kernel upgrade | 08:50 |
| nmorse | That's why having lilo on one disk fix mbr's on others is handy for me | 08:51 |

| kay | Won't it update the kernel in-place? | 08:51 |

| kay | On disk | 08:51 |
| kay | There are patches for booting a kernel from the kernel, too | 08:52 |
| nmorse | No, Debian makes a backup of the other kernel and makes an entry for both | 08:52 |
| nmorse | I know there are patches for it, but it uses lilo for that, no? | 08:52 |
| kay | Kernel developers really like that fast reboot | 08:52 |
| kay | nmorse: The grub stuff on Ubuntu doesn't work with backups | 08:53 |
| nmorse | You've got to be joking | 08:53 |
| sproingie | works fine for me | 08:53 |

| nmorse | Tasksel would make for one disk that could install Ubuntu, Kubuntu, XFCEubuntu, etc, from the internet | 08:56 |
| kay | what is linux-tree-2.6.12 doing then? | 08:56 |
| nmorse | But I didn't see it in the install process once | 08:56 |
| sproingie | and yes, i "sold my freedom" to save $50 for and get purty graphics | 08:56 |
| kay | Here on Breezy, it is available for install | 08:56 |
| sproingie | at least ATI's driver is more or less stable now | 08:56 |
| sproingie | blender runs at amazing speed, faster than the windows version | 08:57 |
| nmorse | I think I'm switching my desktop to Nvidia | 08:57 |
| nmorse | I'm tired of waiting on ATI | 08:57 |
| nmorse | What's available for install, kay, linux-tree-2.6.12? | 08:57 |
| kay | yeah | 08:58 |
| sproingie | i like ATI's visual quality, and the driver for linux is adequate for workstation use, but frankly the packaging sucks | 08:58 |
| kay | And I think, those packages when they get updates, replace the old version, not? | 08:58 |
| nmorse | No idea, won't touch breezy | 08:58 |

| kay | You just need to know how to repair your X installation yourself :p | 08:59 |
| sproingie | i was on breezy, then dbus broke and kde with it | 08:59 |
| kay | Breezy is quite a bit more unstable than Debian unstable :) | 08:59 |
| sproingie | starts out experimental, gradually becomes stable | 09:00 |
| kay | Well, yes, but then the C++ transition hurt | 09:00 |
| nmorse | I know, and I know that I went to Ubuntu for a system that just worked | 09:00 |
| kay | And X is still not working as it should | 09:00 |
| nmorse | Breezy doesn't work | 09:00 |
| kay | I like to have something that evolves | 09:00 |
| kay | Define "work" | 09:01 |
| nmorse | I just realized there's a k7 kernel, scrapping 686 | 09:01 |
| sproingie | i dunno that even breezy evolves well. java-package still doesn't support jdk1.5 | 09:01 |
| nmorse | It runs like it should, smoothly, without unexpected breakage | 09:01 |
| sproingie | it's been what, a year? | 09:01 |
| kay | I only need ant, and yes, java was broken badly for some time | 09:01 |
| sproingie | it still is for sun jdk | 09:01 |

| nmorse | ? | 09:12 |
| kay | if you boot off Knoppix or so, dd is a good way | 09:12 |
| sproingie | dd on the raw device will hose the filesystem you're dd'ing onto | 09:12 |
| kay | Just make sure, not mounted stuff | 09:12 |
| kay | And then, run something to grow the filesystem, what was it? | 09:13 |

| === douglas [~douglas@dpc6745164251.direcpc.com] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| hussam | any ideas? | 09:14 |
| sproingie | because if it's a different size, you'll have to grow the filesystem. which i suppose you could do | 09:14 |
| kay | hussam: Make a backup with tar (use google) and restore it to another partition | 09:14 |
| sproingie | if you have multiple partitions, best to just use tar -p and let the fs figure it out | 09:14 |
| nmorse | That's the easiest way probably | 09:15 |
| kay | sproingie: But I remember that hardlinks get lost that way, correct? | 09:15 |
| sproingie | dd's going to be a lot faster, but it'll work for one partition | 09:15 |
| hussam | kay: but that won't copy boot record | 09:15 |

| nmorse | No, alsa comes in the 2.6 kernel | 09:17 |
| sproingie | and run grub-install | 09:17 |

| sproingie | hussam: which filesystem? | 09:18 |
| nmorse | Alsa is installed, douglas | 09:19 |
| kay | Ah, there is a package ext2resize | 09:19 |
| sproingie | for ext2/3, use ext2resize (google for it) | 09:19 |
| nmorse | By default in Ubuntu and Kubuntu | 09:19 |
| kay | Chances that you can use that, hussam ? | 09:19 |
| nmorse | Arts runs off of ALSA | 09:19 |
| sproingie | for others ... use tar, not dd | 09:19 |
| douglas | I wonder why cedega didn't detect it :( | 09:19 |
| sproingie | parted does filesystem resizing too, it might understand other fs's | 09:19 |
| kay | Ask your money back douglas :) | 09:20 |
| nmorse | douglas: try install alsa-oss | 09:20 |
| sproingie | i wouldn't try resizing reiserfs. xfs might be ok | 09:20 |
| nmorse | I use reiserfs almost exclusively | 09:20 |
| kay | Use what everybody uses, i.e. ext3 | 09:20 |

| === sproingie uses xfs, which is damn zippy on x86-64 | ||
| hussam | The thing is I have two hard disks, hda ( the one that came with computer and has windows ) . I added another 30GB hard disk ( hdb) formatted as ext3 and installed Kubuntu. | 09:20 |
| nmorse | XFS is pretty nice, but not on Mandrake, where everything locks up | 09:20 |
| nmorse | Doesn't XFS on Ubuntu give you lilo by default? | 09:21 |
| kay | hussam: You should be making it a logical volume | 09:21 |
| sproingie | no. however, the grub that ubuntu's install cd ships with doesn't do xfs | 09:21 |
| kay | hussam: That way, you "merge" the two disks it one virtual volume | 09:21 |
| sproingie | and doesn't warn you if your /boot is in xfs | 09:21 |
| sproingie | i ended up reinstalling and creating an ext2 /boot | 09:21 |
| douglas | nmorse: will I need to restart my machine or x or anything? | 09:21 |
| kay | sproingie: Doesn't grub do xfs too? | 09:22 |
| nmorse | You shouldn't need to | 09:22 |
| sproingie | having a separate /boot is nice for other reasons | 09:22 |
| douglas | Thanks | 09:22 |
| sproingie | kay: yep. but not the one that ubuntu installs out of the box. ancient debian packages strikes again | 09:22 |
| nmorse | Like having a seperate /home | 09:22 |

| sproingie | i'm more or less inclined to keep bootloaders off the bleeding edge ... but it'd be nice if it warned me | 09:23 |
| sproingie | thankfully i really did have all day | 09:23 |
| douglas | I haven't been keeping up in the communtity like I should | 09:23 |

| sproingie | a novice user would have been mystified. 'course a novice user wouldn't be using the expert installer | 09:23 |
| nmorse | It's wine with the new directx9 patches in it | 09:23 |

| sproingie | what they're calling a "hypervisor" now, anyway | 09:36 |
| _freak | hi all | 09:36 |
| nmorse | Yeah, go figure | 09:36 |
| nmorse | That just lets you run whatever kernel you want on top | 09:37 |
| sproingie | including l4 i'd imagine | 09:37 |
| nmorse | I like the 'coded to the metal' approach over the 'add abstraction wherever possible' approach | 09:37 |
| sproingie | well that's the idea behind a nanokernel | 09:37 |
| nmorse | Abstraction? | 09:38 |
| nmorse | Run the real kernel on this? | 09:38 |
| sproingie | you do code to the bare metal. the nanokernel just makes it look like there's more bare metal to code to | 09:38 |
| nmorse | Like OpenFirmware? | 09:38 |
| sproingie | dunno anything about openfirmware | 09:39 |
| nmorse | It's on the PPC platform, used in both Apple and Sun boxes, I think | 09:39 |
| sproingie | oh, that | 09:40 |
| nmorse | Basically, openfirmware's coded to the metal and then the OS gets its low-level drivers from it | 09:40 |
| sproingie | that's only used for initializing devices i think | 09:40 |
| sproingie | once it's done, the os driver takes over completely, no? | 09:40 |
| nmorse | Yeah, for the basic IDE and stuff | 09:40 |
| nmorse | No idea, not an OS developer | 09:40 |
| sproingie | naw, nanokernel virtualizes all your devices | 09:40 |
| nmorse | I just read the abstracts | 09:40 |
| sproingie | doesn't give them a virtual interface, just makes them appear available to everything | 09:41 |
| nmorse | For the fglrx driver, do I need to leave the DRI in the kernel? | 09:41 |
| sproingie | it's like virtual memory applied to all devices | 09:41 |
| sproingie | nmorse: no, it uses its own | 09:41 |
| nmorse | Okay, that's what I thought, but I wasn't sure | 09:41 |
| sproingie | well, DRI support itself has to be there, but the DRM needs to go | 09:41 |
| sproingie | can't remember if that's one and the same | 09:41 |
| nmorse | Then add the agpgart for the ati IGP | 09:42 |
| nmorse | Or should I use ATI's? | 09:42 |
| sproingie | internal agpgart should work, but sometimes it doesn't | 09:42 |
| nmorse | I'll build as a module then | 09:42 |

| sproingie | e.g. an ancient card. or for virtual devices | 09:50 |
| sproingie | i guess ipv4 isn't exactly "not much", but there's a good chance the net driver reimplements crc32 anyway | 09:51 |

| nmorse | That irks me | 11:19 |
| nmorse | But I did speed up boot-up time by cutting most services off | 11:19 |
| nmorse | Now if only I could convince it to quit trying to start RAID and LVM devices which I don't have | 11:20 |
| morten | ... So i just have to add that one ?? and then run an upgrade ? | 11:20 |
| gdh | morten: yep that should do it | 11:20 |
