alvarohi05:28
alvarosomebody know the reason why can't use directy the nvidia drivers from the nvidia page?05:29
whiprushnvidia drivers are included in ubuntu. (this question is best for #ubuntu instead of here)05:31
alvarobut if I compile the kernel... how install this modules?05:31
alvaroI install the nvidia drivers from the www.nvidia.com and now can't go back to my old configuration05:32
jdubalvaro: why did you need to recompile your kernel?05:34
jdubyou can probably try to build linux-restricted-modules against your kernel05:34
alvarobecause I can't active the dma in my dvd05:35
whiprushif you did rebuild your kernel make sure /usr/src/linux points to the right source, the nvidia drivers should just find it.05:35
jdubalvaro: you can do that without rebuilding your kernel, just use hdparm05:35
alvarowhen I use hdparm say: invalid instruction05:36
whiprushMr. Dub: I hear toronto is a possible location for the next conference?05:36
jdubwhiprush: hrm, not hugely likely; south america more so05:36
whiprushk05:37
whiprushstill cheaper than europe for me05:37
=== whiprush crosses fingers
jdubyeah :)05:37
whiprushalvaro: I usually enable dma on a drive in /etc/hdparm.conf (iirc)05:37
whiprushlemme bust out my laptop and check.05:37
alvaroI tried but not work05:38
whiprushand you're sure the drive supports dma? (I assume so since it's a dvd drive)05:39
whiprushjdub: dude, networkmagic on a laptop is a wonderful thing, I've been suspending and having it Just Work all day long.05:39
whiprushdifferent aps and locations too.05:40
whiprushI'm going to buy thom a big batch of $LOCAL_BEER at the next conference.05:40
alvarothis my problem when y try to activate: HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument05:40
alvaroits a dvd drive, y sure because the driver work with dma in other pc05:41
whiprushyou sure the syntax is right?05:41
alvaroyes05:41
alvaro, /dev/hda because I have a sata hd05:42
whiprushok, I'd do two things, a) submit your hardware config via hwdb-client, and then file a bug in bugzilla.ubuntu.com on it.05:42
whiprushmake sure you put as much detail in the comments in hwdb-client, when it submits it'll get looked at eventually.05:43
alvaroI think that the chipset is the reason05:44
ajmitchjdub: when is it likely to be?05:44
alvaroI try to install the ndorce chipset module...05:44
whiprushwell, when you submit it'll send along the hardware config, the important thing is that you submit it so a developer can get to it.05:44
alvarook, I do it05:45
alvarobut now I can't run X... how can I reconfigure to my old configuration?05:46
jdubajmitch: october, november05:46
ajmitchjdub: great, I'll start saving then :)05:47
alvaroI try to reinstall the nvidia dirvers how in unoficial guide, but I can't run X05:47
whiprushalvaro: most of the people in here are busy fixing up the next release, it's best if you ask in #ubuntu.05:48

sabdflin developing countries, afaics they are all looking to migrate big chunks08:46

whiprushdepends on the contract. Here in the US there are provisions for every federal contract for small and minority-owned busineses. 08:46
Burgundaviathe "buy canadian" thing is also starting to penetrate the minds of canadian politicians08:47
Burgundaviamost especially after the patriot act thing08:47
ivoksour goverment has a contract with MS08:47
whiprushthey won't big contracts but in many defense contracts the big companies will subcontract to smaller companies to win the contract.08:47

Amaranthwell, pyxdg broke it, but smeg needs the latest pyxdg so...09:11
hungerIs there a reason for using pngs as backgrounds for gnome? Saving the image as jpg would shrink it by more than a factor of 20.09:12
Burgundaviais hdd space still a factor anywhere?09:12
Amaranthpng is free09:12
hungerBurgundavia: I find it annoying to waste space.09:13
highvoltagehunger: what's more annoying? a few kb less space, or ugly, distorted images in your working environment?09:14
hungerBurgundavia: And It is a difference whether I have to download 30k or 900k on upload (minus compression from deb).09:14
hungerhighvoltage: ? Do you really see a difference between jpg and png?09:14
highvoltagehunger: yes09:15
Amaranthyes, compressing a png into a jpg will make a smaller image09:15
Burgundaviabut I don't see the win09:15
Amaranthbut it will make an image that looks worse, you're transcoding09:15
Burgundaviaif you have a slow connection, download elsewhere09:15
Burgundaviaor usethe default09:15
hungerAmaranth: The default background does not have that many details that can get lost;-)09:16

hungerBurgundavia: The non-ws one is ~870k as png and ~38 as jpg.09:17
=== hunger shrugs.
hungerBurgundavia: What do you mean by clarity?09:17
highvoltagehunger: jpeg distorts images. if you see it often in highly compressed images, you get sensitive toward it.09:19
highvoltagewhich is why many of us stick to .png (after we've tried to over-optimise some web pages in the 90's)09:19
Amaranthoh, the pngs are lossless?09:19
HrdwrBoBhighvoltage: you know, both png and jpeg have adjustable compression :)09:19
highvoltagenope, but they look much better.09:19
HrdwrBoBAmaranth: they can be lossy or lossless09:19
highvoltageHrdwrBoB: I know, but jpeg is more lossy, afaik09:20
AmaranthHrdwrBoB: I know. :) I was asking if the backgrounds were lossless.09:20
hungerhighvoltage: The factor 20 is with 90% quality setting for jpg. There is no visible difference.09:20
highvoltagehunger: a png with the same compression will be smaller as a jpg with the same compression, and the quality will be better.09:21
highvoltage(ime, anyway)09:21
Amaranthhunger: You looked at them at 640x480 resolution, right?09:21
hungerhighvoltage: Even with a quality setting of 70% the image is basically identical to the png... jpg is ideal for the image that is used as the default background.09:21
hungerAmaranth: I look at the image at 400%.09:22
highvoltagehunger: fine, convert all your ubuntu images to jpeg's then :)09:23
hungerhighvoltage: Sorry, but that is crap... png and jpg use *WAY* different algorithms. You can not really compare the compression technics.09:23
HrdwrBoByou can09:23

=== sabdfl [~mark@sabdfl.silver.supporter.pdpc] has left #ubuntu-devel []
highvoltagehunger: of course you can compare them, even though they encode images differently. anyway, this is a silly discussion. google png vs jpg instead, we're wasting irc space.09:24
hungerhighvoltage: I do know both compression technics.09:26
=== hunger shrugs and shuts up.
pittihunger: in general, jpg is suitable for photo-like pictures, png for drawings (sharp edges)09:26
hungerpitti: I know both jpg and png compression technics.09:27
hungerpitti: The default ubuntu background is a perfect match for jpg compression, which is why I was suggesting to use that.09:27
Amaranthdoes ubuntu use jpg for anything?09:28
pittihunger: right09:28
hungerAmaranth: Most kde backgroungs.09:28
Amaranthisn't there a patent on jpg that just hasn't been enforced? (like gif was)09:28
hungerAmaranth: kubuntu comes with about 50 backgrounds and uses about 5 times the space of the 2 gnome ones.09:29
hungerAmaranth: Not that I am aware of... but possible.09:29
=== Amaranth wonders when you would ever want 50 backgrounds
hungerAmaranth: In fact: So do I;-)09:29
Burgundaviakde is all about more options09:29
Amaranthha, IBM says they've been able to build G5s for laptops this whole time09:30
hungerWell, encode your pictures however you want... I do not have to care about the bandwith to update them whichever format you are going to use.09:32

shackanpitti, I have a question, is it ok if I put the code on berlios ?10:22

pittiHey Kamion 10:23
=== zeedo [~zeedo@www.reboot-robot.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
pittishackan: I don't mind where the code is, as long as I can download it (what's berlios?)10:23
pittishackan: will you use a vcs? Maybe even arch? :-)10:24
shackanhttp://developer.berlios.de/10:24
shackanberlios relies on svn, but it seems they have cvs too10:24
shackanbtw, what is arch ? :)10:25
Amaranthhook him up with bzr? :)10:25
pittishackan: sure, that looks fine; however, please use svn, cvs is soo evil10:25
pittiAmaranth: good idea :-)10:25
Amarantharch is a distributed vcs10:25
pittishackan: GNU arch is another version control system; one particular implementation ("bazaar") is very popular among the Ubuntu developers 10:26
=== Amaranth doesn't know how to explain it
pittishackan: it has a strong emphasis on branching 10:26
shackanmmkay, sorry I didn't know that10:26
Amaranthbasically anyone can work on something with full vcs capabilities on their own branch then just point you to the branch when they're done10:26
pittiwell, svn is certainly fine for now10:26
pittishackan: see Amaranth, right; and then you can merge and cherrypick from each other10:27
shackannice :)10:27
Amaranthbazaar-ng usable yet?10:29
Amarantherr, that should have an is10:29
pittiAmaranth: I use it for pmount now10:29
pittiAmaranth: I emulate "push" with a wrapper that calls rsync 10:29
pittiAmaranth: but pull, commit, diff, log, merge, etc. work fine10:30
Amaranthwhat about pull?10:30
Amaranthoh, pull is done?10:30
pittiyes10:30
pittibzr is a breeze, it's so much easier to set up than bazaar-ng10:30
pittierm, bazaar10:30
pittiit always takes me a while to get a newbie going with baz10:31
Amaranthhrm, didn't debian have a newer version of bzr once?10:31
Amaranthi mean, they had a version newer than ubuntu's version10:31
pittiAmaranth: 0.0.5 is in breezy too, but it's ftbfs10:32
Amaranthah, that's what it was10:32
pittiAmaranth: I nagged bob2___ a while ago, but he didn't fix it yet10:32
Amaranthok, bzr lovers, use debian! :D10:32
pittiAmaranth: I use bzr bzr head :-)10:32
Amaranththat's kinda funny10:32
pittiAmaranth: I just downloaded bzr.dev and do a "bzr pull" from time to time. 0.0.5 doesn't have merge yet10:33
lifelesspitti: lol10:33
pittilifeless: ?10:34
lifeless"bzr is a breeze, it's so much easier to set up than bazaar-ng"10:34
pittilifeless: conceptually10:34
lifelessoh its true10:34
lifelessit was the bzr is easier than bzr thing I laughed at10:34
pittilifeless: personally I really love baz, but explaining all the id and archive setup always takes a while for newbies10:35

Amaranthnow we just need a bzr gnome-vfs backend that does branches on copy (from remote to local) and merges on copy (from local to remote?)10:39
pittiAmaranth: a copy _is_ a branch in bzr (there's no explicit branch command AFAIK)10:40
Amaranthwell, i meant something like DnD from nautilus windows10:40
pittiyes, I meant that branch is essentially already implemented :-)10:41
=== Jimbob [~jcape@c-24-14-115-101.hsd1.il.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
pittiAmaranth: and since merge requires manual resolving, this probably won't happen with DnD10:41
pittiAmaranth: but push would be nice10:42
AmaranthDnD and open gedit with tabs of things that need to be merged10:42
=== Amaranth has never used bzr and doesn't know how this works
Amaranthdoes it crap in your files like cvs does?10:43
=== pitti still prefers a single "bzr push" shell command
pittiAmaranth: I didn't try conflicted merges10:43
pittiAmaranth: my bigger projects with many branches (postgresql) use bazaar, I don't yet dare to use bzr10:43
lifelessAmaranth: what do you mean by crap in your files ?10:44
=== pitti assumes the >>> ORIG <<< NEW thing like CVS does
Amaranthlifeless: Well, cvs dumps something like diff output in your files10:45
nirani spent the last day or so wrapping my head around bazaar and playing with it10:45

Amaranthlifeless: For once, that's a good thing. My idea could work. :)10:46
pittilifeless: I think the bazaar .orig and .rej approach is nicer10:46
pittilifeless: I would just like to get the .rej files in unidiff format10:46
Amaranthwhen merging with conflicts, it could open gedit with a tab for each conflicting file10:46
pittibut AFAIK patch doesn't support that10:46
fabbioneKamion morning 10:46
lifelesspitti: yah. the problem there is repeated merges - bazaar does diff3 conflict foo too if you use merge.10:47
fabbioneKamion: if you want to send me your try i can do easily a test build....10:47
Amaranthsave them and the conflict is resolved10:47
fabbioneKamion: i have 2 buildd's idling ;)10:47
lifelesspitti: hopefully we'll get some interesting results out of bzr and be able to improve this10:47
Kamionfabbione: edit build/config/sparc/sparc64/netboot-2.6.cfg, replace the KERNELNAME value with just 'vmlinuz'10:47
=== fabbione will try
KamionI much prefer CVS/svn's approach to conflicts, FWIW10:48
Kamionalthough as pitti says unidiff .rej files would help10:48
pittiKamion: I'd like to have that in patch in general10:48
pittipatch --unidiff-rej10:48
AmaranthKamion: I like the diff output, I don't like the extra files you have to remove before it considers the conflict resolved10:48
pittiapplying non-unidiff rejected patches is a PITA10:49
Kamionthe CVS/svn approach means that one does not have to either (a) use specialised tools like emacs' 3diff mode or (b) copy chunks of stuff from one file to another in order to resolve the conflict10:49
pittihm, right10:49
Kamionit's just "edit single file"10:49
KamionAmaranth: yeah, 'baz resolved' should remove those for you10:49
lifelesspitti: is there such an option ?10:50
pittilifeless: no, but there should be :-/10:50
pittilifeless: it's badly missing10:50
lifelessKamion: nice idea, care to file a bug ?10:50
Kamionlifeless: sure, doing now10:51
lifelessAmaranth: baz doesn't require the files to be removed, unless one deliberately configures a tree to be like that. it used to require it by default .10:51
Kamionlifeless: it's already filed, https://launchpad.ubuntu.com/malone/bugs/36010:51
lifelessKamion: heh, ok10:53
AmaranthKamion: baz resolved is too much work10:53
lifelessAmaranth: baz resolved --all10:54
AmaranthKamion: whether i've cleaned up the file to remove the diff stuff or not, next time i commit it consider it resolved10:54
Amaranththat's how i think it should be, anyway10:54
lifelessAmaranth: I take it you've never put yourself in merge hell by committing the <<<<====>>>> lines?10:54
Amaranthnope10:55
Amaranthbut you shouldn't blame the user for the failings of the computer10:55
Amaranths/blame/torture/10:55
pittiit's not the computer that failed...10:56
Amaranththen i didn't understand what 'merge hell' was10:56
pittilifeless: indeed, maybe resolved should be dropped and instead bzr should refuse to commit a file if it contains such markers10:56
pitti(and bazaar, too) :-)10:56
lifelesspitti: well, resolved was added by user request.10:57
pittihm, ok10:57
lifelesssome things will annoy some users but please others10:57
pittilifeless: well, it's necessary with external rej files, but also with inline markers?10:57
lifelessI'm sure that I'd get bug reports if we had a heuristic on files - what if you *do* want ====== lines in your file10:57
Amaranthpitti: Actually, I like your idea plus a 'resolved' command for forcing things through.10:58
lifelesspitti: huh? external rej files don't affect commit or not-commit. resolved is 100% UI assistance.10:58

lifelessbut the point is that its a heuristic - its hoping that noone else does that11:00
Amaranthyou could use the file's modified time to figure out if the user edited the file after it conflicted11:00
lifelessvcs tools should not impose limits on what you can store in them11:00

terjesorry to bother, I asked in #ubuntu already. I'd like to customize the startup script that requests Language and Keyboard information on the ubuntu live CD. Does anyone know where that's located on the extracted CD image?05:43
lu|awayterje: https://wiki.ubuntu.com//LiveCDCustomizationHowTo <- in there, somewhere, I believe05:44
terjeI've read that already and it's not in there.05:44
terjethere's a lot of great info in there though...05:44
terjeI'm finished w/ the isolinux part.05:44
lu|awayoh, you want to customize it05:45
lu|awayI had assumed 'customize' meant 'force it to one language'05:45
terjewhat I'm trying to do actually, is have the CD boot and not ask the user any questions.05:45
terjeI'd like to preselect some defaults05:45
wasabi_I am speaking out of my ass, so I don't know anything... but here's what I suspect.05:46

wasabi_debian installer05:47
terjeoh!05:47
terjeok, I gotcha.05:47
wasabi_So, armed with that knowledge, I assume the language selection process is a debconf question05:47

seb128ddaa: ftp://ftp.gnome.org ?06:46
seb128ddaa: yep, there is some issue atm06:47
ddaaI guess the guy in charge is Novell staff :)06:47
seb128rather redhat guys06:47
ddaaI love to get upstream issues fixed by complaining to a co-worker :)06:48
seb128actually jdub is the right guy to complain for that probably :p06:49
ddaaseb128: btw, do you have any clue of the way gnome tarballs relate to cvs branches?06:49
seb128jdub: ftp.gnome.org is private now? :)06:49
Lathiatseb128: yeh we turned it into a warez dump06:50
Lathiatapparently acc have broken something06:50
seb128ddaa: they use gnome-2-n for names06:50
seb128and tag BLABLA_2_N_M for the tarballs06:51
ddaaokay so, for example, libbonobo-2.8.1 likely comes from the the branch gnome-2-8 in the libbonobo module, while bonobo-1.0.22 likely comes from MAIN?06:52
seb128no06:52
seb128-1.0.22 is a GNOME1 stuff06:52
ddaayes... but I have been told it is in the libbonobo cvs history...06:53
ddaamaybe I was told wrong06:53
ddaa(this sort of shit is a bit difficult to figure out)06:53
ddaaSo... you agree with the "libbonobo-2.8.1 likely comes from the the branch gnome-2-8 in the libbonobo module" bit?06:54
seb128yep06:54
seb128jdub probably knows for GNOME 1 stuff06:54
seb128I've started to use GNOME with GNOME 2 ....06:54
seb128http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/ is useful for such stuff06:55
ddaalifeless told me that bonobo ~ libbonobo for RCS purposes...06:55
ddaaseb128: yes, I know, but it's still archaeology...06:56
ddaaAnd I prefer to ask people who know to sanity check my assumptions.06:56
ddaaDon't worry, I'm not going to bother you for each and every gnome package.06:56
