[01:39] <habeeb> Gentlemen, I require some assistance.
[01:39] <habeeb> I'm trying to install Gutsy. I downloaded and burned the ISO and booted it. I'm right now getting no X. I tried "startx" but I'm getting many many errors
[01:39] <habeeb> Most errors are related to the mouse. The rest to AIGLX.
[01:39] <habeeb> I guess that the mouse errors are the most important.
[01:39] <habeeb> The weird one, which I have never seen so far, is "Failed to load module "mouse"";.
[01:40] <habeeb> [end of monologue] 
[01:48] <gnomefreak> habeeb: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xsesrver-xorg (this is something you NEED to know before testing very very unstable releases
[01:50] <habeeb> gnomefreak: done that too.
[01:50] <habeeb> gnomefreak: still getting errors.
[01:50] <habeeb> Still the module mouse, problem.
[01:51] <habeeb> What was the name of the package that allows you to automaticaly pastebin stuff through the console? pastebinit?
[01:53] <gnomefreak> see apt-cache search
[01:54] <habeeb> Nothing related, gnomefreak (apt-cache search paste)
[01:55] <habeeb> But well, still, do you know anything about that error I'm getting? I did a brief google search and found nothing related (A guy solved it by installing xserver-xorg-input-all, which is already installed in me)
[02:00] <gnomefreak> habeeb: without the full error no, but i would think maybe its an odd ball  type mouse and no drivers for it
[02:01] <gnomefreak> habeeb: maker and model of mouse?
[02:02] <habeeb> Microsoft. Wheel Mouse Optical PS/2
[02:02] <gnomefreak> habeeb: shut pc down, remove mouse, plug mouse back in, boot pc
[02:02] <habeeb> brb.
[02:02] <habeeb> (why?)
[02:03] <habeeb> Why would that help?
[02:03] <gnomefreak> habeeb: do it see if it works maybe it loaded wrrong
[02:03] <habeeb> Ok. brb
[02:16] <DanaG> Anything new and exciting since yesterday?

[04:39] <andrew2> I can't get LDAP to start properly. Installed slapd and dpkg-reconfigure -plow slapd....
[04:39] <andrew2> All I get is ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
[04:39] <andrew2> Any thoughts?
[04:42] <andrew2> thanks rahul
[06:19] <gnomefreak> xn: its know and being worked on
[06:20] <gnomefreak> xn: if its just the warning live with it for now if vlc is crashing there is a way around it
[06:20] <gnomefreak> night ;)
[06:21] <xn> But I don't have vlc installed.
[06:23] <xn> Bye
[09:14] <Turms> good morning, yesterday i updated gutsy, with the new kernel 2.6.22 it doesn't even try to start, i had to change the link vmlinuz.old to an older kernel, is it just a my problem or is it a bug?
[09:23] <Turms> coNP: well, then i cannot understand why, i just updated a working gutsy and at the reboot just grub starts then a black screen
[09:24] <Sebastian> After I updated the Gutsy in my VMware today it can't start X anymore. Going back to Feisty now.
[11:13] <marfeath> does kubuntu 7.10 have the kde4 alpha in it yet?
[11:22] <gnomefreak> marfeath: feisty has it in it as well
[11:45] <habeeb> Hello, is there a way to downgrade from Gutsy to Feisty?
[11:45] <habeeb> (Changing the repos in sources.list, and dist-upgrading will do that, or I need moar stuff to do ? )
[11:45] <crimsun> investigate apt-pinning.
[11:47] <gnomefreak> !downgrade
[11:47] <ubotu> Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.
[11:47] <habeeb> Oh...
[11:47] <habeeb> I see.
[12:13] <timing> Hey what does it mean when my whole system hangs and my caps lock light blinks?
[12:13] <timing> kernel panic?
[12:13] <crimsun> normally, yes.
[12:13] <crimsun> at least it got to that point.
[12:13] <timing> k, how can i get more info about the panic?
[12:14] <timing> I think it's the soundcard driver
[12:14] <timing> it most of the time happens when i start a audio or video stream with mplayer or totem
[12:14] <crimsun> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSystemCrash
[12:15] <crimsun> do you use nvidia or fglrx?
[12:15] <timing> thanks
[12:15] <timing> i have ati, and a broken compiz
[12:15] <crimsun> so do you use ati/radeon or fglrx?
[12:15] <timing> i don't know what the latter is
[12:15] <crimsun> did you use the Restricted Drivers Manager?
[12:16] <timing> i started it once, when my system was feisty
[12:16] <timing> but it said i didn't need any restricted drivers
[12:16] <crimsun> ok.
[12:16] <timing> i have a ati radeon 340M
[12:16] <timing> compiz worked at feisty
[12:16] <timing> now it doesn't anymore
[12:16] <crimsun> I'm not a video person, so I don't know offhand if that requires radeon or fglrx
[12:17] <crimsun> you probably could reference it on the web, though
[12:17] <crimsun> as for sound driver - it's possible but fairly improbable
[12:17] <timing> but couldn't it be my soundcard/alsa?
[12:17] <timing> hmm
[12:17] <timing> i had some weird problems
[12:17] <timing> like wrong bitrates
[12:17] <timing> so songs sounded slower
[12:17] <timing> and my volumes acting weird
[12:17] <crimsun> ...that's normally a hardware issue
[12:18] <timing> totem uses gstreamer right?
[12:18] <timing> and mplayer uses mpg321?
[12:18] <timing> because it's only totem which plays slow
[12:18] <timing> mplayer is correct
[12:18] <crimsun> totem can use either gstreamer or xine-lib backends.  It uses the former by default.
[12:18] <timing> but the crashes happen with both mplayer and totem i think
[12:18] <timing> k
[12:18] <crimsun> mplayer uses the mad decoder preferentially for mpeg 1-layer III, yes.
[12:19] <crimsun> (well, at least we set it to in the conffile)
[12:19] <timing> k
[12:19] <timing> i'll dive some more into it when i'm back home
[12:19] <crimsun> I would need a ksymoops trace to see if alsa's involved
[12:20] <timing> k
[12:20] <timing> hmm this Alt+sysRq+1 and +t later
[12:21] <timing> is the kernel able to read that keycombo when there is a kernel panic?
[12:22] <crimsun> depends
[12:22] <crimsun> if you're very lucky, yes.
[12:22] <crimsun> if you're very unlucky, no.
[12:22] <timing> haha k
[12:23] <timing> thanks, be back in 6 hours

[06:49] <frandavid100> hiya
[06:50] <frandavid100> is compiz working for you in gutsy?
[06:50] <omha> nope
[06:50] <omha> but i think that it's VMware's fualt
[06:50] <frandavid100> so, what do you get?
[06:50] <omha> fault*
[06:51] <omha> frandavid100, whats wrong?
[06:51] <frandavid100> I'm getting this error: Type mismatch: Expected `float' got `int' for key /apps/compiz/plugins/decoration/allscreens/options/shadow_radius
[06:51] <frandavid100> and I get no decorations or wobbliness
[06:51] <frandavid100> or cube
[06:52] <frandavid100> http://pastebin.com/931457 this is exactly what I'm getting
[06:53] <frandavid100> any idea how I could fix it?
[06:54] <frandavid100> http://pastebin.com/931459 this is my xorg.conf, I think there's nothing wrong with it
[06:56] <omha> i have no idea
[06:56] <frandavid100> thanks anyway man
[09:16] <shirish> guys does anybody know how to call history in the terminal?
[09:17] <shirish> for e.g. I know I used a command with help of apt-cache something like 25-50 commands earlier but can't remember it, anyway possible to shortlist them?
[09:28] <shirish> DanaG: I tried that, it has something like 500 odd commands here
[09:28] <shirish> DanaG: I was thinking of using history & some kind of grep or something with some key-word, possible?
[09:28] <shirish> ok let it be
[09:28] <shirish> I used to do it so easily in fish - ( a pretty -looking terminal) with lot of functionality
[09:28] <shirish> hope you tried it
[11:13] <shoot^> guys, what is the drill for reporting bugs in feisty?
[11:13] <crimsun> what do you mean by "drill"?

[11:14] <crimsun> shoot^: https://bugs.launchpad.net/
