[01:19] <slavik> what are the proper packages to install for compiz fusion on gutsy?
[01:19] <SWAT> slavik, it's installed by default
[01:19] <SWAT> compiz-gnome etc.
[01:19] <slavik> not here :)
[01:19] <slavik> but what is the top meta package?
[01:22] <ReL1K> hmmm on the compiz subject, if i go to appereance and hit effects, says desktop effects could not be enabled
[01:22] <tekhawk> i know that most people wont use gutsy for servers till its final but has anyone had bind working properly
[01:23] <_sidd> Ah... so it isn't working anymore?
[01:24] <tekhawk> i havnt got it to work since installing gutsy
[01:24] <tekhawk> ive been running gutsy for 2 weeks
[01:24] <ReL1K> _sidd, right
[01:24] <slavik> how different is compiz-fusion from beryl?
[01:25] <tekhawk> slavik, it has all of beryls features and all of compiz features
[01:25] <tekhawk> slavik, the idea is no more plugins being made for one or other they are all for the same program again
[01:25] <slavik> I meant as far beryl-manager
[01:26] <tekhawk> slavik, beryl-manager is much better then the current config editor i think lol
[01:26] <slavik> I meant the applet part
[01:26] <_sidd> ReL1K: That sucks... I was hoping it would be fixed with these updates.
[01:26] <tekhawk> is there a ubuntu server channel?
[01:26] <ReL1K> hell, i was hoping it would continue to work....compiz is out now :P
[01:29] <knix> whoa, hello gnome-appearance-properties
[01:30] <tekhawk> knix, LOL that broke on me lastnight when i updated
[01:30] <tekhawk> knix, is it fixed now
[01:30] <knix> heh
[01:30] <knix> when did it get fixed?
[01:30] <knix> I did a dist-upgrade this morning
[01:30] <tekhawk> knix, ) :
[01:31] <knix> Oh, I thought you said it is fixed now
[01:31] <knix> Yea, I dunno =P
[01:31] <tekhawk> knix, *&^% well i guess ill live with it for now just glad someone else had issue
[01:31] <knix> It works fine
[01:31] <knix> I don't even notice it
[01:31] <knix> But then I look at system-monitor
[01:32] <knix> it takes up cpu real good :)
[01:32] <tekhawk> knix, mine seemsed to want to wrap around 3-4 viewpoints
[01:32] <knix> I dunno
[01:32] <knix> it seems to work fine for me, it's just taking 100% cpu
[01:33] <tekhawk> knix, bummer guess i should report that bug tonight then
[01:34] <tekhawk> knix, hey if you like to get themes and stuff the art manager programs nice lol maybe everyone knows about it but i just used it for first time last night makes life easier lol just moved from suse to ubuntu last month so still learning new stuff for this distro
[01:34] <ReL1K> anyone else got a t61?
[01:35] <knix> art manager?
[01:36] <knix> I don't use metacity so themes are kindauseless to me
[01:36] <knix> I just use it for changing my background
[01:36] <xtknight> i am aware of the alternate cd, but by any method is it possible to mount a RAID volume and install using ubiquity-installer?  would modprobing mdadm be enough for /dev/md0 to show up *somewhere*?
[01:37] <knix> ReL1K: What about it?
[01:37] <ShackJack>  Any ideas on why my desktop locks up when clicking QUIT button?
[01:38] <tekhawk> knix, i use it for icons backgrounds splash screens and gmd themes gdm themes more then splashes the splash screens dont like compiz much
[01:38] <tekhawk> ShackJack, no but your the second person ive seen ask that today
[01:39] <knix> I guess I just don'tchange my appearance settings much :)
[01:39] <ShackJack> tekhawk: I don't suppose you know the function/app called when the button is clicked, no?
[01:39] <knix> I only go in to change my gdm theme when a dist-upgrade resets it :P
[01:40] <tekhawk> ShackJack, nope sorry
[01:40] <ReL1K> knix: can't get compiz to work after updates early today, thinking the intel xorg updates not sure
[01:40] <ShackJack> Evidentally it's magic...
[01:41] <tekhawk> ShackJack, i know how you can find out though
[01:41] <ShackJack> tekhawk: How is that?
[01:41] <tekhawk> ShackJack, try running the gnome-panel from terminal you should see the message when it calls the applet that quits
[01:41] <ShackJack> Hmmm.. now why didn't I think of that... will give it go ;)
[01:42] <tekhawk> ShackJack, or load the applet trough terminal not sure how to do that though but first idea might give you the applet command to do that
[01:42] <SeveredCross> Anyone know if Firefox is known broken?
[01:42] <SeveredCross> I get an error on startup about some strings and my bookmarks and plugins and stuff is all empty, though the files still exist in the profile.
[01:43] <ShackJack> tekhawk: When I kill panel it relaunches - how do I make it stay dead>
[01:43] <tekhawk> SeveredCross, on amd64 platform it was working this morning
[01:43] <SeveredCross> :-\
[01:44] <tekhawk> ShackJack, hmm i did killall gnome-panel lastnight and couldnt get it to load again had to reboot lol not sure you might look into session options ive only been on gnome 2 weeks since i just moved from opensuse 2 weeks ago
[01:44] <ShackJack> tekhawk: Yeah, it won't start now - sheese... this is way too much effort...
[01:45] <tekhawk> ShackJack, you think thats bad try compiling AWN dear god that thing uses every Lib known to man and doesnt put the lib it makes in to a lib folder on gutsy i had to make and move that file myself.....
[01:46] <SeveredCross> I guess I'll file a bug. :-\
[01:46] <darrend> not sure which one, but a recent upgrade seems to have prevented the brightness control buttons working on my laptop.  Anyone know what might have done this?
[01:47] <ReL1K> anyone else having problems with compiz?
[01:47] <tekhawk> darrend, might have been the xorg input one
[01:47] <tekhawk> SeveredCross, i have like 2-5 of those i have to file tonight when i see how many are still broken
[01:48] <darrend> ReL1K: lots :)
[01:48] <tekhawk> right time to get going got to close shop before i had to church later everyone
[01:49] <darrend> tekhawk: thx.. known issue?
[01:49] <ReL1K> darrend what are you using?
[01:49] <darrend> ReL1K: how do you mean?
[01:50] <ReL1K> hardware?
[01:50] <tekhawk> darrend, no just that is the package that controls keyboards i think so that would likly be the issue or a binding that isnt set anymor
[01:50] <darrend> ReL1K: nvidia
[01:54] <tekhawk> espeaking of compiz anyone know if the screen saver plugin is back yet?
[01:59] <winbond> is it true that most applications do not work in kde4?
[01:59] <pwnguin> i havent used kde4 at all, but i do know one of the core developers for ubuntu likes to close bugs because there's too many to deal with
[02:00] <pwnguin> "there are 350 open bugs, 750 if you include wontfix and invalid"
[02:02] <SeveredCross> Er, why not close wontfix and invalid?
[02:02] <pwnguin> well, i havent reviewed these bugs in particular
[02:03] <verb3k_> guys where can I download the latest gutsy ISO (not the tribes)?
[02:03] <pwnguin> but i dont think a lack of submitter response makes a bug not exist
[02:03] <pwnguin> as was stated on the list
[02:04] <pwnguin> 350 open bugs is the same thing as 700 bugs, half of which you wont fix
[02:07] <verb3k_> guys where can I download the latest gutsy ISO snapshot? (not the tribes)
[02:07] <pwnguin> ...
[02:08] <pwnguin> the tribes are the only published iso snapshots
[02:08] <Jordan_U> verb3k_, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[02:09] <Jordan_U> pwnguin, No, this is an open source project, everything is "published"
[02:09] <pwnguin> Jordan_U: for some reason, i thought the images were only built at tribes
[02:09] <pwnguin> instead of daily
[02:09] <pwnguin> i stand corrected
[02:09] <verb3k_> Jordan_U,  Thanks Jordan
[02:09] <LeeJunFan> is compiz w/ AIGLX working at the moment? won't start correctly for me.
[02:10] <pwnguin> LeeJunFan: which video card
[02:10] <LeeJunFan> ATI 9700 with the open drivers, worked on feisty.
[02:10] <Jordan_U> pwnguin, Tribes are just supposed to have fewer installation bugs and be milestones
[02:10] <LeeJunFan> glx is working fine.
[02:10] <pwnguin> hmm.
[02:11] <LeeJunFan> pwnguin: just checked Xorg log - aiglx is loading fine.
[02:11] <pwnguin> LeeJunFan: im not really an expert on this =(
[02:12] <pwnguin> but they seem to be in the process of weeding out which chips don't work fully with compiz
[02:13] <pwnguin> LeeJunFan: but you get metacity instead of compiz?
[02:13] <LeeJunFan> pwnguin: hrm, maybe it's working, I notice now I have 100 desktops on kde. hehe
[02:14] <pwnguin> ok. back to wiimoteness for me then
[02:14] <LeeJunFan> okay, any idea what the compiz config program is called?
[02:15] <pwnguin> Jordan_U: i picked up a bluetooth usb device
[02:15] <pwnguin> LeeJunFan: there's a program called "compizconfig-settings-manager". it's in universe though
[02:18] <winbond> pwnguin, where can i see the list of current kde4 bugs?
[02:18] <LeeJunFan> pwnguin: got it - thanks. Working now.
[02:20] <ReL1K> LeeJunFan: having issues with compiz myself
[02:20] <LeeJunFan> now, I've just got to get rid of the white outline around kicker and menus.
[02:20] <MukiEX> Anyone have a GeForce 8600? I can't get any compositor to work (Xubuntu, compiz) w/o it restarting X
[02:21] <MukiEX> Clarification : I can't get any compositor to work and run a 3D program w/o it restarting X.
[02:28] <TerraMaster> I keep on getting the error in amrok: Xine output peramiters busy any help?
[02:30] <TerraMaster> I mean amarok
[02:30] <VousDeux> well, I was a little disappointed to see that the updates today did not fix my synaptics shared memory problem :(
[02:30] <VousDeux> I put my two-cents worth in the bug report
[02:32] <TerraMaster> oh my god! IM GETTING SWAMPED IN AMAROKAPPS!
[02:32] <TerraMaster> IM DROWNING!
[02:34] <TerraMaster> excuse me whilst I restarth..... I think my current config with amarok and the fact that all my saongs are repetedly being bounced by the error message is cusing my comp to go haywire
[02:35] <VousDeux> does anyone know anything about why my wifi would stop working after a peroid of inactivity?
[02:36] <TerraMaster> Ive got in my system manager about 3 full pages of amarokapp and more coming and firefox is fading in and out form the shady "no responce" display
[02:36] <TerraMaster> and to top it all off.....
[02:37] <TerraMaster> IM BORED!
[02:38] <VousDeux> !wifi
[02:38] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:41] <VousDeux> I usually can get it going again if I disable/enable it, then reattach, but I found that if I am running on battery, it will disconnect about an hour before the battery is dead, but I can't reconnect even if I reboot.
[02:42] <ShackJack> Well, I figured out why my GNOME session was quasi-freezing when clicking Quit button (in case anyone shows up with similar problem) - I had the power manager daemon unchecked in the startup sessions which was apparently causing the difficulty.
[02:44] <yaccin> hmmm konqueror doesnt work (for webbrowsing), irc works, apt works, lynx works, jabber works, icq seems to work (nobody online?) msn doesnt work
[02:44] <yaccin> currently installing firefox...
[02:55] <ReL1K> man this lack of compiz sucks
[02:55] <ReL1K> not as cool :P
[02:56] <ReL1K> is there a list of updates that were done today?
[02:56] <ReL1K> start rolling back
[02:56] <yellowChicken> what's the target release date for gutsy?
[02:56] <crdlb> ReL1K, do you have a specific error?
[02:56] <pwnguin> /usr/share/doc/compiz/changelog.Debian.gz has the details
[02:57] <ReL1K> crdlb: not sure how to produce an error on this one, compiz is enabled and running, desktop effects are on, and compiz isn't working..it worked fine earlier today and for the previous couple weeks
[02:57] <ReL1K> just stopped working after i think the xorg intel update
[02:57] <ShackJack> ReL1K: Gutsy updated borked my nvidia binary driver ;) I miss Compiz too :)
[02:57] <crdlb> ReL1K, run compiz --replace
[02:57] <crdlb> in a terminal
[02:58] <ReL1K> crdlb: tried that man, it flashes and looks like it starts, doesn't error out, and nothing
[02:58] <ReL1K> actually got an error
[02:58] <ReL1K> grandr
[02:58] <ReL1K> erm
[02:59] <ReL1K> Checking for Xgl: not present.
[02:59] <ReL1K> Blacklisted PCIID '8086:2a02' found
[02:59] <ReL1K> aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
[02:59] <crdlb> interesting
[02:59] <ShackJack> ReL1K: What card do you have?
[02:59] <ReL1K> intel
[02:59] <crdlb> lspci|grep VGA
[02:59] <ShackJack> Hmmm...
[02:59] <ReL1K> gm965
[03:00] <crdlb> hmm ISTR a reason for that
[03:00] <crdlb> +T="$T 8086:2982 8086:2992 8086:29a2 8086:2a02 8086:29a12"  # intel 965 (xv video problem)
[03:01] <ReL1K> hmm
[03:01] <crdlb> ReL1K, LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz.real --replace ccp & gtk-window-decorator --replace &
[03:02] <ReL1K> said fatal glx_ext_texture from pixmap is missing
[03:02] <ReL1K> and now i dont have banners around my windows :P
[03:02] <crdlb> the LIBGL... should have prevented that
[03:03] <pwnguin> it was an and
[03:03] <ReL1K> fixed
[03:03] <ReL1K> nice crdlb
[03:03] <ReL1K> thanks
[03:03] <ReL1K> outstanding
[03:03] <pwnguin> ReL1K: play a video in totem real quick
[03:04] <ReL1K> on it..
[03:07] <pwnguin> ReL1K: did it work?
[03:07] <pwnguin> there should be several "examples" to use
[03:08] <pwnguin> of nelson mandela or desmond tutu, i forget
[03:08] <ReL1K> downloading a trailer
[03:08] <crdlb> it won't unless you use EXA iirc
[03:08] <pwnguin> ReL1K: the point was, it likely wont work
[03:09] <pwnguin> ReL1K: which is why the card was blacklisted
[03:09] <crdlb> that's hardly a reason to stop using compiz though :P
[03:09] <pwnguin> ok
[03:09] <pwnguin> how about, "my fullscreen gl game doesn't  work"
[03:09] <crdlb> I understand them blacklisting it though
[03:09] <hydrogen> whats up with the cups web interface in gutsy?
[03:09] <hydrogen> its giving me all sorts of 404's
[03:10] <crdlb> hydrogen, it's always been crippled
[03:10] <ReL1K> video worked
[03:10] <crdlb> ReL1K, in totem?
[03:10] <pwnguin> in totem?
[03:10] <hydrogen> it wasn't in feisty
[03:10] <crdlb> because it *will* work in mplayer for some odd reason
[03:10] <crdlb> although not transformed
[03:10] <pwnguin> because mplayer uses gl by default, not xv
[03:11] <crdlb> no
[03:11] <crdlb> it works with xv in mplayer
[03:11] <pwnguin> orly
[03:11] <crdlb> at least it did on feisty
[03:11] <pwnguin> the suggestions i saw on the bug that lead to the blacklisting suggested switching gstreamer to gl
[03:12] <crdlb> which still doesn't work really well
[03:12] <crdlb> the best fix involves using the compiz video playback plugin
[03:12] <crdlb> but nobody ever wrote a plugin for gstreamer to use it :<
[03:13] <hydrogen> ugh
[03:13] <hydrogen> now nothing will print
[03:13] <pwnguin> well im happy
[03:13] <pwnguin> i got my wiimote to work as a mouse
[03:14] <nomasteryoda> nice
[03:15] <nomasteryoda> bluetooth is great
[03:15] <pwnguin> cant seem to get the ir camera to show up though
[03:15] <nomasteryoda> except for a2dpd and stereo phones... works, but skips with new kernel
[03:18] <nomasteryoda> i mean, the kernel is great for power management... i get longer run times with gutsy
[03:19] <ReL1K> totem didnt work
[03:19] <ReL1K> fyi
[03:19] <ReL1K> works in mplayer
[03:20] <crdlb> right
[03:20] <crdlb> that's how it's always been
[03:20] <ReL1K> gotchya
[03:20] <ReL1K> alright guys out for a little bit, thanks alot
[03:20] <ReL1K> for the help
[03:24] <hydrogen> whats up with the cups web interface in gutsy?
[03:25] <pwnguin> ReL1K: i imagine that command will have to be run every time, if your chipset's blacklisted
[03:40] <XsteelWolf> anyone using intel 4965agn card?
[03:41] <nomasteryoda> hydrogen, i'm sure its got one or 2 more patches before its ready
[03:41] <nomasteryoda> just my guess
[03:47] <hydrogen> nomasteryoda: what do you mean?
[03:47] <hydrogen> nomasteryoda: why does it need patches at all?
[03:47] <hydrogen> nomasteryoda: its worked fine since cups 1.1
[03:47] <XsteelWolf> Anyone knows how how to configure wireless on Knetwork Manager? After i connect to a network that it appears on the list,no popup for me to keyin wpa-psk key, and it always hang at 28% and then knetwork manager will just crash
[03:50] <Xero> I like toast.
[03:51] <nomasteryoda> hydrogen, updates i mean
[03:51] <nomasteryoda> i'm sure it used to...
[03:51] <hydrogen> nomasteryoda: that doesn't answer my question.
[03:52] <nomasteryoda> i know
[03:52] <nomasteryoda> i'm just another ubuntu geek who is using gutsy
[03:54] <hydrogen> then don't take a stab at an answer you do not know
[03:54] <hydrogen> its dangerous territory
[03:55] <nomasteryoda> ok
[03:57] <nomasteryoda> but won't kill anyone that I know of... unless the printer fell on someone's head I supose
[04:02] <hydrogen> hmm
[04:02] <hydrogen> [ 1296.996000]  audit(1190165084.232:34): operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x" name="/usr/lib/cups/cgi-bin/help.cgi" pid=13156 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd"
[04:02] <hydrogen> that looks related to it
[04:03] <hydrogen> ugh
[04:04] <hydrogen> I hate linux printing
[04:04] <hydrogen> it just worked
[04:04] <hydrogen> without me changing a thing
[04:07] <fulio> is anyone usong aptonCD?
[04:08] <nomasteryoda> anyone else here have issue with firefox and emerald?
[04:33] <ohsoferrety> Hey: Anyone know if there are any flaws in tonight's Gutsy update?
[04:33] <nomasteryoda> lol
[04:34] <nomasteryoda> i love that ... i have a dollar bet there are
[04:34] <ohsoferrety> Yeah...last night's update was a little annoying.
[04:34] <nomasteryoda> the firefox one got me...
[04:34] <nomasteryoda> then again maybe its just me
[04:34] <nomasteryoda> firefox not getting along with emerald
[04:35] <nomasteryoda> but my virtualbox i got working...
[04:35] <nomasteryoda> took a small tweak to the config file
[04:36] <nomasteryoda> and a module build, much simpler than vmware-workstation was for fesity,breezy,dapper,hoary
[04:37] <Hobbsee> apt doesnt segfault today.
[04:37] <crdlb> heh
[04:37] <nomasteryoda> that is good
[04:37] <nomasteryoda> very good
[04:38] <nomasteryoda> i just keep my system on during these times of "turmoil"
[04:38] <nomasteryoda> =D
[04:44] <crackerbox> after i chroot into my test environment... how can i change from the super user to a normal user 'owner'?
[04:45] <benanzo> anyone else experiencing long hang times on gnome-terminal, gedit?
[04:48] <user01> how do i format an external hard drive in gutsy?
[04:48] <benanzo> gparted
[04:48] <benanzo> sudo apt-get install gparted
[04:49] <user01> oh it will be another hour and a half before the updates are done loading before i can install it
[04:49] <user01> benanzo: thought i could fdisk or something
[04:49] <benanzo> yes, or just run parted
[04:50] <crackerbox> after i chroot into my test environment... how can i change from the super user to a normal user 'owner'?
[04:50] <nomasteryoda> user01, you could run cfdisk
[04:50] <nomasteryoda> it works pretty good
[04:50] <nomasteryoda> cfdisk --help
[04:51] <benanzo> crackerbox: "su username"
[04:51] <crackerbox> i get "bash: /dev/null: Permission denied"
[04:53] <user01> how do i figure out which device is my external hard drive?  it is mounted under media/New Volume right now
[04:53] <user01> all i can figure out
[04:54] <arooni> has anyone installed the latest 249 updates?  does everything work OK? (gutsy)
[04:54] <user01> arooni: i am right now
[04:54] <RAOF> arooni: Works For Me(tm)
[04:54] <nomasteryoda> so far so good.. but no reboot on my laptop or desktop today
[04:54] <user01> arooni: i havent restarted yet though
[04:54] <user01> arooni: like it said to do
[04:54] <nomasteryoda> user01, fdisk -l
[04:54] <nomasteryoda> sudo fdisk -l
[04:54] <nomasteryoda> will list all fixed disks
[04:55] <nomasteryoda> and their /dev
[04:55] <benanzo> I'm experiencing random hangs after fresh install of tribe 5 and immediate upgrade to current
[04:55] <arooni> RAOF, have u restarted?
[04:55] <RAOF> arooni: Yup.
[04:55] <benanzo> sometimes to desktop takes several minutes to load,
[04:55] <user01> nomasteryoda: cool thanks
[04:55] <nomasteryoda> np
[04:55] <benanzo> gnome-terminal and gedit hang for a few before opening
[04:56] <user01> nomasteryoda: fdisk -l still listed external drive
[04:56] <arooni> can someone tell me how i can combine the 67GB of free space i have into my existing 20gb or so partition which is /home?  i cant resize via gparted.... i'm guessing cuz the mounted partition would be affected by the resize?
[04:56] <user01> nomasteryoda: sudo fdisk -l showed laptop files
[04:56] <nomasteryoda> but not the /dev/sd?
[04:56] <arooni> the free space + 20 gb are right next each other physically on the disk
[04:56] <nomasteryoda> user01, you using usb?
[04:56] <user01> nomasteryoda: yes
[04:56] <benanzo> crackerbox: sorry, I can't get that to work in chroot
[04:57] <nomasteryoda> lsusb
[04:57] <nomasteryoda> see what it shows
[04:57] <user01> nomasteryoda: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0d49:7212 Maxtor
[04:57] <benanzo> anyone else experiencing random app freezes?  specificall gedit/gnome-terminal
[04:57] <benanzo> ?
[04:58] <knix> My font in firefox seems to always be +1 to my gnome fonts
[04:58] <knix> Is there a way to fix this?
[04:58] <nomasteryoda> benanzo, to confirm, create a new user account and login as that... if no freezes, then your profile would be suspect... as in the .gnome settings
[04:58] <user01> nomasteryoda: /dev/sdb1  1 38913   312568641    7  HPFS/NTFS
[04:59] <nomasteryoda> just my offer of a solution from past experience
[04:59] <nomasteryoda> user01, ok
[04:59] <benanzo> k, brb
[04:59] <nomasteryoda> so that is the drive
[04:59] <user01> nomasteryoda: yep
[04:59] <nomasteryoda> well, then... fdisk /dev/sdb
[04:59] <nomasteryoda> err, cfdisk should show it listed
[04:59] <nomasteryoda> i mean
[05:00] <nomasteryoda> cfdisk /dev/sdb should show the partition on it
[05:02] <user01> nomasteryoda: i dont have to put sdb1?
[05:02] <user01> nomasteryoda: and i unmount it first right?
[05:03] <nomasteryoda> er, yes
[05:03] <benanzo|mobile> I have same problem with new user
[05:03] <nomasteryoda> otherwise it will not let you format
[05:03] <nomasteryoda> ok
[05:04] <nomasteryoda> so confirmed as some bugger then it seems
[05:04] <user01> nomasteryoda: ok ill see how many hours it takes to format
[05:04] <nomasteryoda> i would suspect a gtk issue.... but again, wild guess based on experience
[05:04] <nomasteryoda> lol
[05:04] <nomasteryoda> no, minutes
[05:04] <nomasteryoda> linux will do it fast
[05:05] <nomasteryoda> unless you need lowlevel formatting... which takes ages
[05:05] <benanzo> maybe a theme problem..   I'll have a look
[05:05] <nomasteryoda> ah, you using compiz?
[05:05] <user01> user01: does cfdisk have to be run sudo?
[05:05] <nomasteryoda> yup
[05:06] <nomasteryoda> any such damaging activity does
[05:06] <benanzo> yes, CF
[05:06] <nomasteryoda> ah, and have emerald enabled?
[05:06] <benanzo> not emerald
[05:06] <nomasteryoda> my firefox won't start with that turned on
[05:06] <nomasteryoda> but compiz is ok
[05:07] <user01> nomasteryoda: do i want fat32 or fat32 lba?
[05:07] <benanzo> I just figured it out...
[05:07] <nomasteryoda> what size is the drive?
[05:07] <user01> nomasteryoda: 320 GB
[05:07] <benanzo> Clearlooks GTK theme breaks it...switch to ClearlooksClassic to fix
[05:07] <nomasteryoda> ya
[05:07] <benanzo> Human GTK is broken as well
[05:08] <nomasteryoda> lba ... hang on
[05:08] <nomasteryoda> lba
[05:09] <nomasteryoda> i use ext3 on my external drives..... just because I can and i can put any size file onto it without issue
[05:09] <nomasteryoda> whereas windows will puke if it goes over 4.?gb on a fat32 drive
[05:09] <user01> nomasteryoda: because it is over 8Gb?
[05:09] <nomasteryoda> at least   it always has to me
[05:09] <nomasteryoda> yes
[05:09] <nomasteryoda> exactly
[05:10] <benanzo> vfat has 4GB filesize cap
[05:10] <nomasteryoda> ya
[05:10] <nomasteryoda> so you will be held to that size
[05:11] <user01> nomasteryoda: well i cant think of anything that would be more than 4GB, even dvds are broken doen in to vobs
[05:11] <nomasteryoda> what I do is put the Ext driver on windows systems i really need to access the drive... or just mount and share on my network via samba
[05:11] <nomasteryoda> kool
[05:11] <nomasteryoda> its simple and fast to format that way
[05:11] <nomasteryoda> and quite compatible
[05:12] <user01> right but if i drag it somewhere where there are only windoze computers and i dont have admin rights . . .
[05:12] <nomasteryoda> right
[05:13] <nomasteryoda> i know that was what i mean... fat32
[05:13] <user01> i like xfs the best if it could only be mounted on every computer
[05:13] <nomasteryoda> is what you need
[05:13] <nomasteryoda> ya
[05:13] <user01> fat 32 lba you mean
[05:13] <nomasteryoda> yup
[05:13] <user01> k bye bye ntfs partition
[05:13] <nomasteryoda> like i said, it will take a few min
[05:13] <nomasteryoda> because it only writes the partition table, not the whole disk
[05:15] <user01> nomasteryoda: wow that was fast . . . i tried to format on a windoze computer took an hour and at 99% said he disk was too large
[05:17] <user01> nomasteryoda: how do i change the disk label?
[05:17] <nomasteryoda> ah, now that is simpler with Gparted
[05:17] <nomasteryoda> i forget how to do on cli
[05:21] <Poet_with_a_Gun> can some one link me the latest tribes release? the daily ISo I got a couple days ago is too big for a standard CD
[05:22] <Poet_with_a_Gun> I extracted the ISO and deleted all the windows garbage to get it down under 700 megs...maybe I can just copy all that data to my disk now.
[05:23] <h1st0> Poet_with_a_Gun: I just sent you a link to the download page in #ubuntu
[05:23] <nomasteryoda> if that is in a folder, you might have to remake the iso image file
[05:23] <nomasteryoda> there ya go
[05:23] <nomasteryoda> that will be better
[05:24] <Poet_with_a_Gun> oh okay
[05:24] <Poet_with_a_Gun> thanks I was over when ya posted it
[05:25] <user01> nomasteryoda: hmmm i wrote it out, and then it mounted the device as ntfs in gnome
[05:25] <user01> if i open again in cfdisk it says fat32 lba
[05:26] <Poet_with_a_Gun> ah crap my cdr is making donkey like noises
[05:27] <user01> maybe reboot ubuntu?
[05:27] <BHSPitMonkey> Poet_with_a_Gun, perhaps Shrek is in the drive?
[05:27] <Poet_with_a_Gun> Sounds like it.
[05:27] <nomasteryoda> user01, no hang on
[05:27] <BHSPitMonkey> I'd check that first.
[05:27] <nomasteryoda> user01, disconnected the usb cable?
[05:27] <user01> nomasteryoda: unmount and disconnect?
[05:27] <Poet_with_a_Gun> I've had a rough go with cd burning under ubuntu :/
[05:27] <nomasteryoda> ya
[05:27] <nomasteryoda> then reconnnect
[05:27] <BHSPitMonkey> Poet_with_a_Gun, crappy drive?
[05:28] <user01> nomasteryoda: yeah still shows ntfs
[05:28] <nomasteryoda> BHSPitMonkey, i would bet not... i have had issues with my dvd and cd burners
[05:28] <user01> nomasteryoda: like nothing happened to it
[05:29] <Poet_with_a_Gun> nah this is drive number 2 it's been wonky on.
[05:29] <Poet_with_a_Gun> AT least this time it says it's doing something
[05:29] <nomasteryoda> er, ok then try the extreme...hang on
[05:29] <Poet_with_a_Gun> or sounds like it.
[05:29] <nomasteryoda> i just had it
[05:30] <Poet_with_a_Gun> I got WoW running under linux and it's great, I got everything I had on windows, or better replacements, I got wifi, I got bit torrent, I got everything else (Haven't tried hooking up my printer). If I Could get my vid out to work on my card and cd/dvd burning I'd never have to go back to Bill again
[05:31] <nomasteryoda> i forgot about resetting the drive label... which means you will have to remake the partition again, but no biggy
[05:31] <nomasteryoda> http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/01/editing-fat32-partition-labels-using-mtools/
[05:31] <nomasteryoda> that is the relabel part...
[05:31] <nomasteryoda> now for the fun part....
[05:32] <nomasteryoda> mlabel
[05:32] <Poet_with_a_Gun> I don't know why but I'm hoping GG will magically make all this better, i will seriously rejoice in a field of wild flowers if it does
[05:33] <nomasteryoda> lol
[05:33] <nomasteryoda> well, folks ... gotta crash
[05:33] <nomasteryoda> 11:33 pm here
[05:34] <tritium> nomasteryoda: wear your seat belt, then
[05:34] <Poet_with_a_Gun> I just go for the helmet
[05:34] <Poet_with_a_Gun> and hope the airbags still in there
[05:35] <Poet_with_a_Gun> It's my birthday and apparently I'm expected to spend it with the people I love, thanks for the url and the support gents
[05:35] <Poet_with_a_Gun> and ladies if applicable.

[05:37] <nomasteryoda> =D
[05:39] <user01> nomasteryoda: so i have to install mtools?
[05:45] <nomasteryoda> errum... yes
[05:45] <nomasteryoda> if you can wait on the gutsy updates, then you can just do all with gparted
[05:45] <nomasteryoda> nn
[05:46] <user01> nomasteryoda: oh ok
[05:46] <user01> nomasteryoda: it is almost done
[05:48] <user01> nomasteryoda: so is it actually formatted right now as fat32 but it is just not being mounted properly without a label?
[05:52] <nomasteryoda> not the same label.. this label is like the one windows puts on ... the "signature" that says this is a fat32 drive or ntfs
[05:55] <user01> nomasteryoda: oh so just delete partition in gparted and try again?
[05:56] <nomasteryoda> have it remove all partitions .. yea
[05:56] <nomasteryoda> that should do it...
[05:56] <nomasteryoda> i used partiton magic back in the day
[05:56] <user01> texlive full takes awhile to install . . .
[05:56] <nomasteryoda> and it magically lost my data .. but did wipe the signature out...
[05:56] <nomasteryoda> ya
[05:57] <user01> i suppose i will neve use mongolian package but u never know
[05:58] <nomasteryoda> lol
[05:58] <user01> nomasteryoda: maybe ill want to try throat singing one day
[05:58] <nomasteryoda> ya could be there tomorrow if you were so fortunate
[05:58] <nomasteryoda> lol
[05:58] <user01> i joined the lamest LUG group out there
[05:58] <nomasteryoda> with the clicks too
[05:58] <user01> but the closest one
[05:59] <user01> i walked into the LUG meeting all excited and they were all on internet explorer
[05:59] <user01> i walked passed the hall twice thinking it was a windows class
[05:59] <nomasteryoda> holy mother... man
[06:00] <Matir> where is this lug group?
[06:00] <nomasteryoda> ie4slinux or some such works pretty good and lets you run 3 versions...
[06:00] <user01> apparently the president could get his linux computer to work with the projector
[06:00] <nomasteryoda> good for dev work
[06:00] <nomasteryoda> lol
[06:00] <nomasteryoda> could not
[06:00] <user01> could not sorry
[06:01] <user01> it was free pizza at least and i had my thinkpad with ubuntu at least :)
[06:01] <nomasteryoda> been there, done that...
[06:01] <nomasteryoda> ya
[06:01] <nomasteryoda> wish we had money in our lug.. i'm president and we take no cash
[06:01] <nomasteryoda> only books from pearson education...
[06:01] <nomasteryoda> we do reviews
[06:01] <nomasteryoda> very few, but we are trying
[06:02] <user01> im going to bring my vga to ntsc pal converter next time to see if converting the video signal will work
[06:02] <pwnguin> my LUG is a student org, so we get some accomodations from university
[06:02] <pwnguin> like a private space for lunches on thursdays
[06:02] <user01> i paid $100 for latex book set and pearson couldnt even send me the pdfs
[06:02] <pwnguin> and meeting rooms should we need them
[06:03] <user01> nomasteryoda: there are like a million examples i didnt want to type them all out
[06:04] <user01> my friend got the latex companion box set for free . . . my idea worked for him
[06:05] <nomasteryoda> heeh
[06:05] <user01> i didnt want to do it because it was illegal
[06:05] <nomasteryoda> good
[06:05] <user01> but it worked . . . they even gift wrapped it for him
[06:05] <nomasteryoda> that is not fair of them to do that...
[06:05] <nomasteryoda> to you
[06:06] <user01> well i just wanted to know if my idea would work
[06:06] <nomasteryoda> user01, i have my gutsy working with external
[06:06] <nomasteryoda> Fn+F8 works swell
[06:06] <pwnguin> nomasteryoda: all that does on my laptop is make things looks worse =(
[06:06] <user01> nomasteryoda: whats that?
[06:06] <nomasteryoda> takes about 5 times to sync, but the projector sees it as a source and ... is good...
[06:07] <nomasteryoda> man
[06:07] <user01> nomasteryoda: oh ok
[06:07] <nomasteryoda> oh, the projector to svga
[06:07] <pwnguin> sometimes laptops work better with projectors if you hook them up on boot
[06:07] <user01> i dont have a projector never tried it
[06:08] <nomasteryoda> pwnguin, yup
[06:08] <user01> you will have to let me know how to do it so i can embarass the president
[06:08] <nomasteryoda> hehe
[06:08] <nomasteryoda> simple
[06:08] <nomasteryoda> and with new "unbreakableX" ... haha
[06:08] <nomasteryoda> you can have it detect both...
[06:08] <user01> not that he wasnt already embarassed that i walked in late asking if he was running ie in vmware
[06:08] <nomasteryoda> but that stuff is kinda dorky ... ubx that is
[06:09] <nomasteryoda> heheh
[06:09] <user01> he is into opensuse
[06:09] <igorgue> does compiz now only works with xgl?
[06:09] <igorgue> or its ony me?
[06:10] <user01> ok texlive-african is installing last one
[06:11] <Reaby> igorgue: should work also with nvidia drivers, without glx or aiglx
[06:12] <user01> i really like my t40 i won on ebay for $500 a year ago
[06:12] <igorgue> I have an Intel card
[06:13] <igorgue> but it only works with xgl
[06:13] <user01> it runs ubuntu really nicely . . . compiz is a little buggy
[06:13] <nomasteryoda> i'm using intel and its working... i don't know if its xgl
[06:13] <igorgue> do you have xserver-xgl installed?
[06:13] <nomasteryoda> just sec
[06:13] <igorgue> if you do, well you are using it :)
[06:14] <nomasteryoda> nope
[06:14] <igorgue> weird
[06:14] <nomasteryoda> i'm using standard x i810 driver and loading compiz with the alt+F2 run ...
[06:14] <nomasteryoda> then loading emerald if i want firefox not to launch
[06:14] <nomasteryoda> =D
[06:15] <user01> nomasteryoda: how long does it take for gparted to scan all devices?
[06:15] <nomasteryoda> a couple minutes
[06:15] <user01> nomasteryoda: its just sorta stuck there
[06:15] <nomasteryoda> you started from console?
[06:15] <user01> nomasteryoda: oh ok, long than formatting
[06:15] <nomasteryoda> ya
[06:15] <user01> nomasteryoda: from the applications menu
[06:16] <igorgue> user01: formating its always less than 10 sec
[06:16] <nomasteryoda> ic
[06:16] <nomasteryoda> user01, i would kill the process
[06:17] <user01> nomasteryoda: what do projecters use?  just a vga in dont they?
[06:17] <nomasteryoda> umount and disconnect the drive... then launch gparted from console
[06:17] <nomasteryoda> oh, ya that works for many of them
[06:17] <spasticteapot> I have a problem playing video on my Thinkpad X61.
[06:17] <nomasteryoda> some also take s-vga and standard rca ... i even have one at work that takes the coax like from a stereo
[06:18] <igorgue> spasticteapot: which video card?
[06:18] <spasticteapot> The movie player opens, but instantly closes itself.
[06:18] <igorgue> ahh
[06:18] <spasticteapot> igorgue: Intel X3100.
[06:18] <nomasteryoda> spasticteapot, if it is totem, recommend using mplayer
[06:18] <spasticteapot> Hmm.
[06:18] <nomasteryoda> and/or smplayer
[06:18] <igorgue> start gstreamer-properties
[06:18] <spasticteapot> I tried good old fashioned GXINE. No worky.
[06:18] <nomasteryoda> i had same issue with totem
[06:18] <Reaby> vlc is one good candidate also
[06:19] <nomasteryoda> nor would xine work
[06:19] <nomasteryoda> yes
[06:19] <nomasteryoda> i use that too
[06:19] <nomasteryoda> works almost everywhere
[06:19] <igorgue> spasticteapot: go to the video tab
[06:19] <Reaby> yep
[06:19] <user01> nomasteryoda: should i plug it back in before mounting?
[06:20] <igorgue> spasticteapot: select "X Windows System(No Xv)" in the defaul output, combobox
[06:20] <user01> nomasteryoda: launching i should say
[06:20] <nomasteryoda> user01, no
[06:20] <nomasteryoda> you can have gparted refresh drives
[06:20] <igorgue> spasticteapot: any luck?
[06:20] <nomasteryoda> i think it is your holdup
[06:21] <user01> nomasteryoda: i think it is the fd0
[06:21] <genii> Is something messed up with libc6/libc6-i686 ? apt-get upgrade keeps core dumping
[06:21] <spasticteapot> Nope.
[06:21] <user01> nomasteryoda: let me try to reboot first from all the updates
[06:21] <nomasteryoda> k
[06:21] <spasticteapot> igorgue: It STILL won't work.
[06:22] <spasticteapot> Seeing as how I have yet to monkey with the video settings, for once I'm reasonably sure it's not my fault.
[06:22] <igorgue> which player are you using?
[06:22] <nomasteryoda> genii, aptitude update
[06:22] <igorgue> spasticteapot: ?
[06:22] <nomasteryoda> genii, then aptitude safe-upgrade
[06:22] <nomasteryoda> see if that helps
[06:22] <nomasteryoda> apt was broken in yesterday's patches
[06:22] <genii> Gimme a minute
[06:24] <genii> Nope same
[06:24] <spasticteapot> igorgue: I have an amazing ability to screw up xorg.conf.
[06:24] <nomasteryoda> genii, you do an apt-get clean or similar?
[06:24] <igorgue> spasticteapot: jajajaja
[06:25] <igorgue> spasticteapot: are you using totem?
[06:25] <igorgue> spasticteapot: check if you are using totem-gstreamer version
[06:26] <user01> yeah not working
[06:27] <spasticteapot> igorgue: I tried Gxine.
[06:27] <spasticteapot> It won't even start now.
[06:27] <genii> I've done dpkg build-dep, and audit, as well as previously apt-get clean and when asked each time, dpkg --configure -a
[06:27] <igorgue> no...
[06:28] <igorgue> spasticteapot: try with totem
[06:28] <igorgue> totem-gstreamer version
[06:28] <igorgue> gstreamer-properties is only for gstreamer players
[06:28] <spasticteapot> Durr.
[06:28] <spasticteapot> I don't think that Totem is using Gstreamer.
[06:29] <spasticteapot> I dumb.
[06:29] <Reaby> spasticteapot: sudo apt-get install totem-gstreamer
[06:29] <igorgue> spasticteapot: install it
[06:29] <igorgue> just like Reaby, just said
[06:29] <user01> how long did you say it would take?
[06:30] <spasticteapot> Okay, apparently it WAS installed.
[06:30] <spasticteapot> That was odd.
[06:30] <Reaby> did you try vlc yet
[06:30] <igorgue> spasticteapot: you better get use to that compiz bug... because is a wont-fix bug
[06:30] <genii> maybe I'll force old ver for now
[06:30] <spasticteapot> igorgue: Wha?
[06:31] <cypherdelic> Der Client konnte auf Grund eines CORBA-Fehlers nicht zur Serverliste hinzugefgt werden: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0
[06:31] <igorgue> yeah... that bug is a wont fix bug
[06:31] <cypherdelic> really?
[06:31] <igorgue> the technical board discussed it in the last meeting.
[06:31] <IntuitiveNipple> genii: maybe bug #140739
[06:31] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 140739 in dpkg "Apt segfaults on gutsy" [High,Fix released]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/140739
[06:31] <cypherdelic> igorgue: do you mean me?
[06:32] <cypherdelic> please call my name
[06:32] <genii> IntuitiveNipple: Looking, thx
[06:32] <IntuitiveNipple> genii: quick-fix now is "sudo apt-get install dpkg" if you're affected
[06:32] <igorgue> cypherdelic: no i'm talking to spasticteapot ;)
[06:32] <IntuitiveNipple> you need the dpkg version that ends -14
[06:32] <genii> trying
[06:32] <IntuitiveNipple> (not -13)
[06:32] <cypherdelic> my system is really fucked up since the last updates
[06:32] <user01> oh look more updates just what i always wanted :)
[06:33] <cypherdelic> does anyone know something about that?
[06:33] <spasticteapot> Compiz bug?
[06:33] <IntuitiveNipple> cypherdelic: you'll need to be more specific
[06:33] <genii> nah same now but with again libc6-i686
[06:33] <igorgue> spasticteapot: yeah
[06:33] <spasticteapot> I want to play mpegs!
[06:33] <cypherdelic> Der Client konnte auf Grund eines CORBA-Fehlers nicht zur Serverliste hinzugefgt werden: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0
[06:33] <cypherdelic> oh
[06:33] <igorgue> spasticteapot: but you can
[06:33] <spasticteapot> But I can't!
[06:33] <spasticteapot> I'm downloading VLC.
[06:33] <cypherdelic> nothing works nautilus does not start
[06:33] <spasticteapot> Maybe that will work.
[06:33] <igorgue> spasticteapot: change the gstreamer-properties that I just said
[06:33] <spasticteapot> I did.
[06:34] <spasticteapot> No dice.
[06:34] <cypherdelic> every application produces the error that i posted
[06:34] <Reaby> spasticteapot: best to hope it works..
[06:34] <igorgue> spasticteapot: and you need to use totem
[06:34] <spasticteapot> I am...I think.
[06:34] <cypherdelic> even a termin gives me CORBA error
[06:34] <cypherdelic> i cant ping localhost, but i can ping 127.0.0.1
[06:34] <igorgue> spasticteapot: that's weird... try to disable compiz...
[06:35] <Reaby> damn, he quits
[06:35] <spasticteapot> igorgue: How do I do that?
[06:35] <spasticteapot> Also, VLC will not work either.
[06:35] <igorgue> open a terminal
[06:35] <igorgue> no
[06:35] <igorgue> ALT+F2
[06:36] <spasticteapot> Okay.
[06:36] <igorgue> and type: gnome-wm
[06:36] <genii> bah install dpkg or dpkg-dev still produces segfault, coredump
[06:36] <genii> build-dep also
[06:36] <spasticteapot> igorgue: And then?
[06:37] <igorgue> spasticteapot: so... are you not using compiz?
[06:38] <genii> Hmm
[06:38] <igorgue> spasticteapot: if you are not using compiz, try to open any vid?
[06:38] <spasticteapot> igorgue: Well, I did'nt install it.
[06:38] <spasticteapot> Is compiz preinstalled?
[06:38] <nomasteryoda> genii, have you rebooted since last update?
[06:39] <spasticteapot> I never used it before.
[06:39] <nomasteryoda> just a thought
[06:39] <spasticteapot> (So sue me. I'm a luddite...)
[06:39] <nomasteryoda> lol
[06:39] <nomasteryoda> no, you're using irc and a development distro... not a luddite
[06:39] <igorgue> spasticteapot: yeah... compiz is the Sh*t, but is very buggy :(
[06:39] <genii> nomasteryoda: Since it was what gave me the segfault, not yet :/
[06:40] <genii> 1 minute, pastebin unusual apt-get msg
[06:40] <igorgue> spasticteapot: so... you are now able to watch videos?
[06:41] <genii> did apt-get install pkg-config, then got usual run dpkg --configure -a, then this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37871/
[06:43] <spasticteapot> Gimme a sec.
[06:43] <genii> still getting segfault/coredump however
[06:43] <genii> will clean and reboot
[06:43] <spasticteapot> Whad'ya know?
[06:43] <spasticteapot> It works!
[06:43] <igorgue> yeah is a compiz bug :(
[06:43] <genii> see you in a few
[06:44] <spasticteapot> Here's hoping it gets fixed.
[06:44] <igorgue> spasticteapot: I WON'T
[06:44] <pwnguin> is there a way to restore compiz back to the defaults?
[06:45] <igorgue> spasticteapot: I was in the last meeting and is a wont fix, actually is a non-implemented feature.
[06:45] <user01> did yoda guy leave?
[06:46] <igorgue> spasticteapot: but you have 3 options: 1. Not use compiz 2. Use xgl(sudo apt-get xserver-xgl) 3. Change the gstreamer-properties thing that I just told you.
[06:46] <pwnguin> or you could write the patch to support exa in intel i965 or whatever
[06:47] <pwnguin> but im guessing thats a distant 4th option
[06:47] <spasticteapot> Okay, so Compiz is being removed from the final version?
[06:47] <spasticteapot> I don't really use it anyway.
[06:47] <pwnguin> spasticteapot: not that ive read
[06:47] <pwnguin> just blacklisted on chipsets that don't work fully
[06:48] <genii> Geez it must be getting hit bad, speed is horrible
[06:49] <genii> What dpkg ver is supposed to be, dpkg 1.14.5ubuntu14 ?
[06:51] <igorgue> btw, one of the problems with xgl is that gl animations dont work at al :S
[06:52] <RAOF> igorgue: Really?  What hardware?
[06:52] <igorgue> intel
[06:53] <RAOF> File bugs!
[06:53] <igorgue> RAOF: how to debug it?
[06:53] <igorgue> glxgears fails
[06:53] <igorgue> when I'm using xgl
[06:54] <igorgue> thats the problems
[06:54] <RAOF> igorgue: In what way "fails"?
[06:54] <igorgue> and some games run slowly
[06:54] <igorgue> glxgears trying to start
[06:55] <igorgue> RAOF: how I disable xgl?(I knew that I needed to create a file but I don't remember where :))
[06:55] <RAOF> igorgue: So, there will be a (usually) small performance hit for GL programs under Xgl, but it should be about the same as running 3D programs under Compiz.
[06:55] <Jordan_U> There is a wubi.exe on the current LiveCD, is Wubi going to be a supported method of installation?
[06:56] <RAOF> igorgue: ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable
[06:56] <scheater5> I was in here earlier asking about Archos media players, I've since found out their processors are based on "Davinci Technologies" which are SoCs with "ARM and DSP cores" - can anyone elucidate this for me?
[06:56] <igorgue> RAOF: No is not the same, because Xserver crash when you try to run glxgears using xgl
[06:57] <RAOF> igorgue: >.<
[06:57] <RAOF> igorgue:
[06:57] <igorgue> RAOF: I was close with the file :)
[06:57] <RAOF> igorgue: But other 3d apps work?
[06:57] <igorgue> RAOF: Let me tomboy it :P
[06:57] <RAOF> igorgue: /usr/share/doc/xserver-xgl/README.Debian for more details :)
[06:57] <igorgue> RAOF: some 3d works but slowly
[06:58] <igorgue> RAOF: Like for example Nexuiz
[06:58] <igorgue> but very slow
[06:58] <igorgue> unusable
[06:59] <RAOF> Hm.
[07:00] <genii> scheater5: ""soc" means sytem on chip. ARM is a type of processor. DSP is digital signal processor
[07:00] <igorgue> RAOF: so... how I get a stack trace?
[07:01] <igorgue> because I can't file a bug just saying "No 3d in XGL" :D
[07:01] <genii> scheater5: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2383518867.html
[07:01] <RAOF> igorgue: If apport doesn't do one for you, you can try switching to a virtual terminal and running "DISPLAY=:1 gdb glxgears"
[07:03] <igorgue> RAOF: ok, let me do it
[07:03] <RAOF> Then the rest of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace should help.
[07:03] <philip_> anyone else missing the titlebar in compiz?
[07:04] <igorgue> ahh
[07:04] <igorgue> philip_: disble the png plugin
[07:04] <RAOF> If it's Xgl that's crashing, you may also want to do the "already running programs" bit on Xgl.
[07:05] <Reaby> philip_: or try if changing theme in thememanager helps, it some times fixes the problem
[07:05] <philip_> thanks guys
[07:06] <aslan> hey guys.. anyone having problems with gnome-panel not installing because of dependency issues ?
[07:07] <Reaby> i had some problems with recent updates, but all went ok with apt-get install -f
[07:07] <philip_> wow disabling the png plugin makes firefox turn completely black
[07:07] <igorgue> ok RAOF, saving this log to try tomorrow because
[07:07] <igorgue> @now
[07:07] <ubotu> Current time in Etc/UTC: September 19 2007, 05:07:48 - Next meeting: Edubuntu in 6 hours 52 minutes
[07:07] <igorgue> is to late :)
[07:09] <Reaby> aslan: so nothing new.. it's develpment branch after all :)
[07:09] <ohsoferrety> Is it just me or is DVD playback in Gutsy not working?
[07:09] <scheater5> genii: so then, I could theoretically put a ARM linux distro on the device?  All the typical trappings - hardware support, etc - would be problems, but in theory?
[07:10] <genii> scheater5: Exactly so, yes
[07:10] <igorgue> bye RAOF, I hope that people with a intel chipset switch to XGL because AIGLX have to much bugs on Intel.
[07:12] <scheater5> genii: well that is great news.  So what exactly is a DSP?
[07:12] <aslan> Reaby: ya I know it's development :)
[07:12] <aslan> I've been running it a while now, I've just never has it uninstall gnome-panel
[07:13] <pwnguin> digital signal processor?
[07:13] <aslan> I got it all resolved though.
[07:13] <scheater5> pwnguin: yes, what is that?
[07:13] <genii> scheater5: Usually the DSP is for streaming data, to convert to something the chip can process;eg to digitze music or so
[07:15] <scheater5> genii:  ah - the media player can record tv broadcasts.  So that's not, at least not directly, related to the OS - in terms of what kind of distro I could put on it?
[07:16] <genii> scheater5: No, the distro would be for the ARM processor. The DSP would be a device that would need some kind of driver/instrucions etc
[07:19] <genii> scheater5: So the trick would be then to have a small box for compiling, which can cross-compile for the ARM and knows about the specific DSP in that setup. Then you compile whatever app in that environment, upload to the device by console or however
[07:19] <scheater5> Genii: awesome.  So now I've just got to figure out how to get this device to boot something other than the built in harddrive to test something out.
[07:20] <scheater5> genii: ok, you lost me at cross compiling.  I've only heard that phrase a few times, and certainlly know nothing about it.
[07:21] <genii> scheater5: cross-compiling is when you want to compile a program for a different type of system than the one you are compiling it on, for instance, compile a program for AMD onan intel or so
[07:21] <genii> scheater5: So you can make a program for an ARM cpu on an i386 box
[07:22] <scheater5> O lordy, lord.  Why do I get the feeling as soon as I get this thing I may as well just burn the warranty card!
[07:22] <scheater5> Well, I was really hoping to put an ARM distro on it, such as Debian or the forthcoming UbuntuEmbedded, thus me asking in this channel.
[07:22] <genii> heh :)
[07:23] <genii> Do you have a link to the product page or so?
[07:24] <scheater5> genii: http://www.archos.com/products/gen_5/archos_605wifi/index.html?country=global&lang=en
[07:24] <genii> Bah. apt-get segfault/coredump, same crap same place same Bat-channel once more here... :/
[07:27] <genii> scheater5: Very neat looking, that
[07:28] <genii> Apparently it's already running linux
[07:29] <scheater5> genii:  I like it, but what I don't like is paying extra for codecs and even the web browser.  If I could put linux on it, grab all the codecs I need, stick an RSS reader and vim on it I could leave my laptop at home as a desktop replacement and take this thing to work/class.
[07:29] <scheater5> genii:  Yes, it's running linux but with alot of proprietary stuff on top - I'm not entirely sure where one ends and the other begins.
[07:29] <genii> Hmm
[07:34] <scheater5> genii: well, you've certainly cleared up alot.  It took me forever just to figure out what the architecture is, and I found it of all place on Texas Instruments website, not even Archos'.  Now if I can figure out how to get it to boot a cd, I'll be off to the races.
[07:35] <genii> Maybe it will boot off a USB key, I noticed it has a few of those
[07:36] <genii> They have the firmware fo4r d/l on their site.
[07:36] <scheater5> Even the port is proprietary - won't accept any cable but their's.
[07:36] <genii> I think for curiosity I;ll look at it
[07:37] <genii> heh "aos" extension. Likely tar.gz or so.
[07:38] <genii> Now to look in user manual for how to upgrade firmware :)
[07:39] <scheater5> the info I have suggests you can download the firmware directly on the device's web browser and install it straight-away.
[07:39] <Ahmuck> k, for those of you in kubuntu channel, please pardon me.  it appears that kubuntu creates this "crash" report when things are crashing in kubuntu gutsy, then it wants me to create a bug report on launchpad.  to do so i have to create an account and then log in.  not going to happen.
[07:40] <Ahmuck> it would seem easy enough to me that one could "fingerprint" the system (leaving out the personal details), and submit the fingerprint along with a "formated" report.
[07:40] <Ahmuck> this would remove the "spam" factor and not require me as a user to take time of for another <insert something here> registration
[07:41] <Ahmuck> in addition, bug reports could easily be handled by "bot" intelligence reading from the standard report header for classification and dups
[07:44] <genii> scheater5: Yes, it seems to go to it's site and see for updates. However, instructions say also to plug it to your computer, copy the new firmware to whatthey call "the root" of the device, then select in the device to update firmware, wher eit searches locally now first
[07:45] <genii> AFK
[07:48] <scheater5> I know that plugging the device into a computer will let you recognize the harddrive as a mass storage device.  I'm probably gonna look at some kind of partitioning and then dual boot, assuming the file system is not something wacky.
[07:48] <scheater5> but it's about that time for me
[07:48] <scheater5> thank you for you help.  I'll be looking into this until I make the purchase
[07:48] <scheater5> PEACE
[07:52] <pwnguin> Ahmuck: indeed. there's a program called apport that will automatically report bugs
[07:52] <Ahmuck> so why is kubuntu bugging me out about it?
[07:53] <pwnguin> ive no idea
[07:53] <pwnguin> possibly because kubuntu doesn't support it
[07:53] <Ahmuck> maybe it's a gutsy bug :-) one of those big powerful ones
[07:53] <Ahmuck> with teeth
[07:53] <pwnguin> but then, i dont think ive used it
[07:53] <Ahmuck> lol
[07:53] <pwnguin> in either case
[07:53] <pwnguin> theres little point in anonymous bugs
[07:54] <Ahmuck> then why have a dialog interupt me when i'm working, just set a global standard "ignore bugs" and i'll be done with it
[07:54] <pwnguin> good question, ive not seen that in GNOME
[07:55] <Ahmuck> fingerprinting the system and tying it to an e-mail address would prevent it from being anon.  you could have the e-mail option on the first bug
[07:56] <Ahmuck> i don't mind adding what i was doing at the time of the krash, so the bug could be filed, but it's just another registration, and it caught me wrong three times this evening
[07:56] <Ahmuck> besides, using gutsy means i expect bugs
[07:56] <Ahmuck> and reporting them would be a good thing
[07:57] <Ahmuck> anyhow, i'm tired, nite
[07:58] <Ahmuck> perhaps i've misunderstood it all
[08:04] <jussi01> scheater5: did you ever manage to get that kernel compiled?
[08:30] <mon^rc1> if a theme is causing ff to hang, is it a problem with the theme, or firefox? (the theme+ff works fine in feisty)
[08:32] <genii> scheater5: Still here?
[08:33] <genii> Too bad, I found a linux that will run on that thing
[08:35] <penguincentral> genii: out of my own curiosity, what is it?
[08:38] <tigerz> hi guys, any one has problem with gnome-terminal on gusty?
[08:38] <penguincentral> tigerz: have you done an update yet?
[08:39] <tigerz> yes, i just done an update 1 hour ago
[08:39] <tigerz> i got problem with gnome-terminal from yesterday
[08:40] <tigerz> and gnome-appearance-properties
[08:40] <penguincentral> tigerz: go to system>administration>software sources.  then in the download from box, select Main Server.  Have you done that?
[08:41] <tigerz> let me check
[08:41] <linuxemacs>  does anyone have the typing in caps characters problem?(ubuntu 7.04). i couldn't type caps characters in tty mode.
[08:41] <linuxemacs> the caps lock led is light, but i couldn't type caps characters.
[08:41] <tigerz> yes, it's Main Server already
[08:42] <linuxemacs>  is it a bug of ubuntu 7.04?
[08:43] <penguincentral> tigerz, if you can't get into the terminal, press alt+f2, then type in xterm.  it does the same stuff as the normal terminal
[08:43] <tigerz> penguincentral, ;)
[08:44] <tigerz> yes, xterm and multi-gnome-terminal works fine for me now
[08:44] <penguincentral> tigerz: there you go ;)
[08:44] <linuxemacs> when i press alt+fx, i coudln't type any caps characters in tty. why?
[08:44] <linuxemacs> on ubuntu 7.04 version. laptop is thinkpad t60.
[08:45] <linuxemacs> does anyone can help me?
[08:45] <penguincentral> #ubuntu+1
[08:46] <tigerz> but be honest, i prefer gnome-terminal
[08:46] <penguincentral> tigerz: don't we all
[08:46] <penguincentral> linuxemacs: #ubuntu
[08:46] <penguincentral> use that channel
[08:46] <penguincentral> this channel is for the development versions of Ubuntu, not the stable ones
[08:49] <linuxemacs> thx~
[08:49] <penguincentral> that's ok linuxemacs
[08:52] <tigerz> any suggestion on this error: The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
[08:52] <tigerz> (Details: serial 718 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
[08:57] <tigerz> haha, i found a way to resolve my issue
[08:58] <tigerz> its seems there some problem with configuration of gnome-terminal after upgrade to the latest version
[09:01] <tekhawk> is gDesklets broken
[09:01] <tekhawk> i havnt had that work since i installed gutsy
[09:02] <tigerz> tekhawk, any error message did you get?
[09:02] <tekhawk> one sec
[09:02] <pwnguin> tekhawk: it doesn't work with compiz i dont think
[09:02] <tekhawk> pwnguin: that sucks
[09:03] <tekhawk> well what the hell is the widget layer for in compiz fusion
[09:03] <tekhawk> thank god gnometerminal is fixed
[09:03] <pwnguin> bug 96214
[09:03] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 96214 in gdesklets "gdesklets don't work on startup with beryl" [Low,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/96214
[09:05] <tekhawk> so whats the point of widget layer in compiz fusion
[09:06] <RAOF> tekhawk: You can put stuff on the widget layer, and only see it when you press F9
[09:06] <genii> Damn, finally got upgrade done then dist-upgrade.
[09:06] <tekhawk> how do you put stuff on it ive been trying for days now lol
[09:07] <nanonyme> genii, isn't upgrade deprecated? ;)
[09:07] <nanonyme> i think it's nowadays safe-upgrade
[09:07] <genii> uname -r :2.6.22-11-generiic
[09:08] <RAOF> tekhawk: You need to write a match rule for the stuff you want in the widet layer.  I don't bother, frankly.
[09:09] <genii> nanonyme: Well, after installing apt-tools and pkg-config, it looped a few times in the "run dpkg --configure -a" mode. But then ldconfig was catching something about the libc6 which it deferred, and allowed upgrade to complete
[09:09] <nanonyme> heh
[09:10] <nanonyme> genii, yeah but i meant that at least aptitude complains if you try to use the word upgrade instead of safe-upgrade
[09:10] <genii> nanonyme: Ah, was using apt-get
[09:11] <nanonyme> hmm, it was only changed in aptitude?
[09:11] <nanonyme> now, that's weird
[09:12] <genii> not a peep from it to use safe-upgrade
[09:12] <DanaG> Odd: something seems to be grabbing my delete key.
[09:13] <DanaG> I hit it, I get a window saying only this:
[09:13] <DanaG> Text was empty (or contained only whitespace)
[09:16] <DanaG> Aah, it was a metacity keybinding.
[09:16] <RAOF> ???
[09:16] <tekhawk> anyone know a guide to adding things to widget layer
[09:19] <pwnguin> ok. compiz related problem: i maximize a lot of windows. so when i get alt tab, often times the only thing that zooms out is the gnome panel
[09:19] <pwnguin> fair enough to have that the default
[09:19] <pwnguin> but ccsm doesn't seem to able to turn it off =(
[09:20] <genii> tekhawk: http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/programming/gtk_examples/index.shtml
[09:22] <tekhawk> genii: rightlost me lol
[09:23] <genii> tekhawk: What is it you are trying to do?
[09:23] <tekhawk> genii: im trying to use compiz-fusion's widget layer
[09:24] <pwnguin> compiz-fusion has a "widget layer" plugin that theoretically allows you to put gdesklets etc into compiz
[09:24] <crdlb> tekhawk, http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/WindowMatching
[09:24] <genii> Ah, OK
[09:25] <tekhawk> thank you
[09:30] <tekhawk> crdlb: thank you so much
[09:31] <genii> Some interesting stuff also here alonmg same vein http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=1768
[09:35] <tekhawk> sticky notes via class or name dont seem to send new note to widget layer sadly
[09:36] <tekhawk> even if you create it with widget layer open
[09:36] <tekhawk> change the rule and they all go into the widget layer though
[09:36] <tekhawk> till you make a new one
[09:37] <tekhawk> same with gnome panel i mst be missing something lol
[09:41] <linuxemacs> when does distribute linux-restricted-module-2.22 for gusty version?
[09:45] <tekhawk> ok fixed you must add it to the widget windows under the plug in not just the windows rule plugin
[09:50] <linuxemacs> tekhawk, can i get the 2.22 version of linux-restricted-module through apt-get command, now?
[09:50] <tekhawk> the restricted drivers modual
[09:52] <linuxemacs> do you means that i must download restricted reivers and install it by myself?the lastest version of ubuntu don't distribute this module?
[09:52] <tekhawk> in synaptic i have 2.6.22.3-11.3
[09:53] <tekhawk> linuxemacs: 2.6.22.3-11.3 is in the gutsy repos now
[09:53] <linuxemacs> ok~~~let me see...thx
[09:54] <tekhawk> it was in there the day after it broke
[09:55] <linuxemacs> avm-fritz-firmware-2.6.22-10_3.11+2.6.22.3-10.1_i386.deb
[09:55] <linuxemacs> is that?
[09:55] <linuxemacs> /pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22/avm-fritz-firmware-2.6.22-10_3.11+2.6.22.3-10.1_i386.deb
[09:59] <tekhawk> not sure what you need
[10:22] <linuxemacs> i wanna get restricted-modules for gusty(kernel v2.6.22) by 'apt-get install' command. but when i type 'sudo apt-get install linux-restricted' tab tab tab , i couldn't find the right version of this module for linux-image-2.6.22-generic.
[10:23] <Daviey> linuxemacs: apt-cache search linux-restricted
[10:23] <stefg> why not use the linux-restricted-modules-generic meta-package ?
[10:24] <RAOF> Or even the "linux-generic" metapackage?
[10:24] <linuxemacs> the linux-restricted-modules-generic meta-package has not inlcude ati driver and wireless driver for my laptop(thikpad t60)
[10:25] <AmyRose> I have been trying to upgrade to Gutsy from Feisty for a couple days now and cannot get past this error message related to file permissions or something, even though I'm running the updater as root...
[10:25] <nikolam> Does anyone else have trouble starting OpenOffice?
[10:26] <stefg> linuxemacs: the metapackage does only have the kernel specific restricted packages as dependency... you get the same package. So if it's not in, it won't make a difference
[10:26] <linuxemacs> when i click restrict driver menu panel, the warning message said "you must install linux-restricted-modules-generic module":(
[10:26] <linuxemacs> ok~i try it~~~
[10:27] <nikolam> AmyRose: try sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and again
[10:27] <AmyRose> nikolam: I thought that was discouraged
[10:27] <linuxemacs> have you installed the gusty on thinkpad t60?
[10:28] <nikolam> AmyRose: That is only solution if you cant boot, for instance. i sow some manual about that.
[10:28] <linuxemacs> i don't known why wireless and ati vedio card could not automatically install on gusty.
[10:28] <RAOF> linuxemacs: they should.
[10:28] <linuxemacs> oh thx!i try it tonight
[10:29] <nikolam> There should be calendar component included in Iceape..
[10:30] <nikolam> Latest updated 2.6.22-11 Wont boot!
[10:30] <nikolam> I am runing 2.6.22-10 now
[10:31] <nikolam> At least iceape calendar should be in repository..
[10:33] <linuxemacs> this morning, my ubuntu system had crash when i ran second life game. when i selected the video card option. the system zombie. :(
[10:35] <AmyRose> nikolam: I'm still in Feisty at the moment though--the upgrader never started because of this
[10:35] <AmyRose> One one hand, at least my system appears to be fine, but... still...
[10:35] <nikolam> AmyRose: In your place i would stau with Feisty..
[10:36] <nikolam> I myself use Gutsy as test system only
[10:36] <nikolam> per instance, my system wont boot today :) only when I select different kernel. Dont be.
[10:36] <AmyRose> hahaha
[10:36] <AmyRose> I did this before though...
[10:37] <AmyRose> with Feisty
[10:37] <nikolam> So you are not novel to those things.. :)
[10:37] <laga> gutsy was running fine for me, except for a few oddities with the -rt kernel. it was running fine till i decided i wanted to switch to amd64.
[10:37] <linuxemacs> 64 bits version?
[10:37] <AmyRose> Feisty was the first time I ever upgraded early after using Linux for three years :)
[10:37] <nikolam> i see no difference between i386 and amd64 Same thing. Same bugs. :)
[10:38] <laga> nikolam: amd64 is faster for multimedia apps
[10:38] <AmyRose> But doesn't Flash suck on amd64?
[10:38] <nikolam> Sure, I am stick to amd64. No comming back to i386 ;)
[10:38] <linuxemacs> :)but some driver and app has some problem on 64bit version?
[10:38] <laga> AmyRose: i'll be using a 32bit firefox
[10:39] <AmyRose> Ick, firefox
[10:39] <nikolam> AmyRose: it works for me. there is some script to make it work :)
[10:39] <laga> linuxemacs: none of my drivers have issues on amd64 AFAIK. for the apps, i'll have a 32 bit environment
[10:39] <linuxemacs> my laptop support 64bit(t60) , but i am running 32bit version of ubuntu now.
[10:39] <AmyRose> I'm on Kubuntu and am a happy Konqueror user =P
[10:39] <laga> AmyRose: i'm on kubuntu and i can't stand konqueror.
[10:40] <AmyRose> Aww... why?
[10:40] <linuxemacs> how to build 32 bit environment on the 64bit version of ubuntu?
[10:40] <nikolam> linuxemacs: That is safe bet. If you are having 3Gb ram and less, you dont need to go for 64. But I am tired of 32, anyway :)
[10:40] <nikolam> laga: Try xubuntu`s xfce. faster, simpler :)
[10:40] <linuxemacs> hehe~~~i have 2gb ram~
[10:41] <laga> AmyRose: i can't really tell. maybe it's the whole integrated file manager/web browser approach that reminds me of Ms windows. i do like the kio slaves, though, but it's too kumbersome to move files around with a mouse
[10:41] <nikolam> linuxemacs: hehe me too but 64bit :)
[10:43] <nikolam> Ok, girls and boys, Back to bug reporting ;) the only issue is that my Launchpad password is remembered on 7.04 so I need to reboot.
[10:43] <linuxemacs> but some website announce that some program have problem when they are running 64bit environment. so i afraid install it on my laptop.
[10:44] <AmyRose> laga: Ah. I compiled Gutsy's Dolphin package and installed that :)
[10:44] <laga> i'm still wondering why nvidia.ko is not included in the l-r-m package for the -rt kernel.
[10:44] <AmyRose> laga: To me (on 32-bit PC), Firefox is slow and a memory hog...
[10:45] <laga> firefox is quite fast here, but it's indeed a memory hog
[10:45] <laga> it used to be much worse, though
[10:45] <AmyRose> Yeah, I'm hoping 3.0 looks as good or better than the current alphas
[10:45] <linuxemacs> why don't you try swiftfox?
[10:46] <AmyRose> linuxemacs: Because it's proprietary.
[10:46] <AmyRose> and when I tried it, it didn't seem any better
[10:46] <linuxemacs> :),but i feel it launch more quick than firefox.
[10:47] <AmyRose> linuxemacs: But I notice no improvements in rendering speed, etc.
[10:47] <laga> use wine and IE7! :)
[10:47] <AmyRose> laga: Noes!! :'(
[10:47] <AmyRose> actually, I heard Wine doesn't support IE7 yet
[10:48] <linuxemacs> but i found, if you install flash player plugin. the speed of lauch change slow.
[10:48] <nanonyme> well, wine has gecko replacement anyway
[10:48] <nanonyme> not IE
[10:48] <AmyRose> nanonyme: Not if you use ies4linux
[10:48] <nanonyme> AmyRose, it's not part of wine and is not supported by winehq
[10:48] <laga> alright, time for a reboot. i've just updated tribe 5 to current gutsy.
[10:48] <linuxemacs> if you install ie through wine, the ie couldn't support all website.
[10:49] <pwuertz> hi, I'm having a problem with gutsy. when I log-in for the second time, several gnome-panel applets are not starting up properly. Instead, crash-messages appear, asking me if I would like to remove the broken applets entirely
[10:49] <AmyRose> Who the heck needs IE anyway? I certainly don't! I just tried it for the sake of trying it, not because I've found a site that won't work on a native browser...
[10:49] <nanonyme> AmyRose, some games require hacks that make people think gecko replacement is the real IE
[10:50] <nanonyme> s/people/them/
[10:50] <nanonyme> sigh
[10:50] <linuxemacs> hehe~~
[10:50] <pwuertz> this happens when I kill X and try to login again.. or when I gracefully log-off from a gnome session and log-in again
[10:50] <nanonyme> that is, make games think that blah blah
[10:50] <AmyRose> nanonyme: Oh. I've been using Linux as my only OS for the last 3 and a half years and pretty much shut myself off from Windows games anyway
[10:50] <pwuertz> after rebooting, gnome starts up fine
[10:50] <nanonyme> alright
[10:51] <nanonyme> AmyRose, some windows games require IE which can be bypassed with wine registry hacks + gecko. even more annoying games require .NET which is a problem since mono can't fully replace it :/
[10:52] <pwuertz> I tried to delete ".gnome" ".gnome2", but this does not affect the problem, only a reboot fixes gnome, although no X applications should be alive after killing X
[10:52] <nanonyme> omg, girls :o
[10:52] <pwuertz> is this a known bug?
[10:52] <AmyRose> nanonyme: I've converted several girls to Linux, most of them weren't even geeks, and they thought it was the greatest thing ever
[10:53] <nanonyme> AmyRose, i trust you've heard the "On the Internet men are men, women are men and 15-year-old girls are FBI agents." ;)
[10:53] <linuxemacs> haha ~~~~
[10:54] <linuxemacs> sigh
[10:54] <nanonyme> anyway, i've no idea if pwuertz's problem is a known one
[10:54] <linuxemacs> maybe some men is women on the internet.
[10:54] <AmyRose> nanonyme: Yeah, but that's not true, but many people on-line take on the gender that they feel like taking on ;)
[10:55] <linuxemacs> but some colleague of mine(female) is using linux system now
[10:55] <nanonyme> AmyRose, yes, well. some channels i'm on have more than 50% women
[10:55] <AmyRose> But the secret to converting the average Windows user is to remember that they will be scared off if they are told to learn the command line. =P
[10:56] <nanonyme> imho you still can't survive in linux without command line unless you outsource sysadmin services to eg a friend
[10:56] <pwuertz> any idea which application could be responsible for this? it must be something that is loaded along the first gnome session
[10:57] <pwuertz> but the bug is still present in the next X session
[10:57] <nicox84> good morning
[10:57] <AmyRose> nanonyme: OK, name one thing you'd do on a HOME PC that absolutely MUST be done with the command line.
[10:57] <pwuertz> a complete reboot fixes it
[10:57] <pwuertz> strange
[10:57] <nicox84> i have some problems upgrading xubuntu to gutsy
[10:57] <nicox84> can somebody help me?
[10:57] <AmyRose> nicox84: What sorts of problems?
[10:58] <linuxemacs> plz give more info about your problem.
[10:58] <nanonyme> AmyRose, there tend to be bugs sometimes in graphical intefaces. it's nice to know how to bypass them on command line so you don't just have to wait for the update doing nothing
[10:59] <nicox84> i run it, but the terminal says something about NameError: global name 'os' is not defined , but this bug seems to be fixed from version .53 of update manager, and i have .54
[10:59] <nanonyme> although it's true they're getting better and eventually it won't be a problem anymore
[10:59] <AmyRose> nanonyme: When that happens, I can help my friends through that, and I rarely need to intervene like that.
[11:00] <AmyRose> I mean, one of my non-geek friends hasn't contacted me at ALL in the last 6 months...
[11:00] <AmyRose> She got the upgrade from Edgy to Feisty done without a hitch even :)
[11:00] <nanonyme> yes, i help my friends with that kind of problems too. people just don't like to admit they really can't do what needs to be done on the OS
[11:01] <AmyRose> nanonyme: That doesn't seem to be a problem with me... My friends tend to think Kubuntu is easier than Windows.
[11:01] <nanonyme> there was a problem with network automatic startup with ubuntu long ago and a friend was content just to set up network manually each time
[11:01] <nanonyme> before i went to his place and set it up on the command line
[11:01] <linuxemacs> yes, my friend think too. the kubuntu or ubuntu is very easy for newlies
[11:02] <AmyRose> I've also found that every non-geek I've showed it to thinks Kubuntu is easier than Ubuntu
[11:02] <nanonyme> iirc it was about dns settings not being saved permanently if you do changes on the graphical interface
[11:02] <linuxemacs> which desktop environment do you choose?
[11:03] <AmyRose> I personally use KDE, but I make all my converting friends use both
[11:04] <nicox84> if somebody helps me i can give the full terminal output
[11:04] <nanonyme> i use XFCE
[11:04] <AmyRose> The channel I frequent the most is #kde here :P
[11:06] <CountX> can anyone tell me why my login screen is like 640x480 and then when i log in its 1440x900, like  is that the way is should be cause in feisty the login screen was 1440x900
[11:06] <AmyRose> Most of my friends who use Linux say they've found KDE to be easier to get used to
[11:06] <CountX> AmyRose: i like gnome
[11:06] <AmyRose> CountX: OK.
[11:06] <CountX> AmyRose: just saying
[11:06] <linuxemacs> why don't you choose gnome environment?
[11:07] <linuxemacs> it's very slow?
[11:07] <rojanu> Hi! I have a problem with update, it tells me to run "dpkg --configure -a" but then I get dpkg: error processing gnome-power-manager (--configure):
[11:07] <linuxemacs> or ther reason?
[11:07] <AmyRose> CountX: Have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and making sure your 1440x900 resolution is enabled?
[11:07] <pwuertz> nicox84: I dont think anyone here knows about the internals of update-manager :/
[11:08] <AmyRose> linuxemacs: You asking me why I don't use GNOME?
[11:08] <linuxemacs> all of you~
[11:08] <linuxemacs> ;)
[11:08] <linuxemacs> GNOME is not more difficult using than KDE, i think.
[11:09] <AmyRose> OK, I don't use GNOME because it seems deliberately underpowered. Pidgin seems to be following this path too, even though it's not an official GNOME program. I don't agree that fewer buttons makes it easier.
[11:09] <nicox84> ok thank you anyway. perhaps i must wait till the stable release exit
[11:10] <AmyRose> I just cannot agree that pulling features for the sake of pulling features is an "improvement".
[11:10] <nicox84> because i don't know how to find help, since the output seems to give a bug already fixed in a previous version of the update-manager i have :(
[11:10] <rojanu> any help with dpkg, pleeeeeeease?
[11:11] <linuxemacs> hehe~~~oh amyrose~~do you find the Pidgin consume more ram when you run long time?
[11:11] <AmyRose> Yes, I do, linuxemacs, which is one of many reasons I've been using Kopete these days
[11:11] <AmyRose> For one thing, they actually understand that the non-technical folks actually DO care about what protocol they are chatting on
[11:11] <nicox84> rojanu: a not expert ad: have you tryed to reinstall the package? maybe is broken...
[11:12] <pwuertz> nicox84: since its a python application, it might be possible that a local cache of your old update-manager still exists
[11:12] <AmyRose> Plus I kinda need Kopete's webcam support :)
[11:12] <linuxemacs> do you know, today the Pidgin consume more than 200mb ram. My God~!@!!
[11:13] <AmyRose> linuxemacs: That doesn't surprise me.
[11:13] <nanonyme> heh, my reason not to use GNOME was that - just as KDE - it's a bit heavy and i like having a lighter window manager on my laptop :)
[11:13] <pwuertz> nicox84: maybe you should wait for the final release and file a bug if necessary
[11:14] <AmyRose> Well, I have nothing against ligher WMs, but I do get sick of people who think it's a sin to use KDE
[11:14] <nicox84> pwuertz: so the problem is in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/DistUpgradeFetcher.py if i delete it, how can i replace it? with a --reconfigure?
[11:14] <CountX> AmyRose: when configuring xorg, when it asks for the video resolutions to be used, do you mark the ones you want it to use?
[11:14] <CountX> AmyRose: or do yuo mark the ones u dont want to use?
[11:14] <linuxemacs> beginning, i assume the much more ram has comsumed by second life game. but when i type 'top' command. My God~! Pidgin comsume the hundred of RAM...
[11:15] <nanonyme> :P
[11:15] <nanonyme> try firefox?
[11:15] <linuxemacs> Pidgin
[11:15] <linuxemacs> firefox consumes 60 mb ram on my laptop.
[11:16] <nanonyme> naw, i meant that it's one of the biggest memory hogs ever. it's leaking memory and if you run it for a long time, it can take several hundred megabytes
[11:16] <CountX> firefox is a resource whore
[11:16] <linuxemacs> kopete is looks very nice...
[11:16] <linuxemacs> haha
[11:16] <linuxemacs> i will try it~
[11:16] <AmyRose> CountX: That's why I use Konqueror
[11:17] <CountX> nanonyme: finaly someone who knows firefox's dirty memory leaking secrets
[11:17] <AmyRose> linuxemacs: If you have a webcam, Kopete will be the best choice for you :P
[11:17] <AmyRose> I have one
[11:17] <linuxemacs> thank you, AmyRose
[11:17] <CountX> can you run kopete on gnome?
[11:17] <CountX> nanonyme: i splurge and use x-chat at home
[11:17] <linuxemacs> you must install ked library first.
[11:18] <AmyRose> CountX: Yes.
[11:18] <AmyRose> You can run any program under any DE
[11:18] <linuxemacs> kde not ked, sorry
[11:18] <AmyRose> linuxemacs: It automatically installs those though ;)
[11:18] <nanonyme> that is, my primary instant messaging methods are jabber and irc...
[11:19] <CountX> who, i cant get dpkg to update
[11:19] <CountX> whoa*
[11:20] <linuxemacs> :) i am not use jabber or other IM except IRC and MSN
[11:20] <CountX> AmyRose: whats the latest version of dpkg, what version do you have
[11:21] <AmyRose> CountX: I actually came here because I couldn't even get the upgrader started...
[11:21] <AmyRose> and then we had a conversation here so I stayed :D
[11:21] <nicox84> i'll try with a purge and reinstall
[11:22] <CountX> AmyRose: wow, sry
[11:22] <linuxemacs> AmyRose, do you know how to install gcc 3.2 version on ubuntu (festiy or gusty)?
[11:22] <CountX> AmyRose: try throught the terminal?
[11:22] <CountX> linuxemacs: do it manually?
[11:22] <AmyRose> linuxemacs: I would think sudo aptitude install gcc3.4 or something
[11:23] <linuxemacs> if you type 'sudo aptitude install gcc-3.2', you will recieve an error message.:)
[11:23] <linuxemacs> i couldn't successfully install it on my ubuntu.
[11:23] <CountX> AmyRose: so, when i get to that x config, the part about resolutions, what do i do
[11:24] <CountX> AmyRose: like, do i mark the resolutions i want to use, or mark the ones i dont want to use?
[11:24] <AmyRose> CountX: Just make sure the ones you want are checked
[11:24] <CountX> AmyRose: but i only want one....
[11:24] <CountX> AmyRose: 1440x900
[11:25] <AmyRose> Then only check that one.
[11:25] <AmyRose> :P
[11:25] <CountX> AmyRose:  ok
[11:26] <CountX> AmyRose: it has been done!
[11:26] <CountX> AmyRose: are you still having trouble updateing?
[11:28] <CountX> AmyRose: can you do it from the terminal? like sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade
[11:29] <CountX> becuase i couldnt update dpkg with the gui version, but when i run that it fixes it
[11:29] <linuxemacs> why don't you try 'sudo apt-get install -f' command to fix it?
[11:30] <CountX> linuxemacs: it wasnt showing the latest version of dpkg
[11:30] <linuxemacs> oh~sry
[11:30] <CountX> linuxemacs:  like it was showing a day old copy or something
[11:31] <CountX> linuxemacs: i have a question, from now on, since they arent releasing anymore tribes, can we just "sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade" and keep our gutsy partition, or will we have to reinstall from their beta disc?
[11:33] <slackern> CountX: It should work like that but many prefer to do a clean install when it gets released to have a "fresh start" so to speak
[11:34] <linuxemacs> your means uninstall the old version pakcage first, and reinstall the latest beta version? slackern
[11:35] <slackern> oh maybe i missunderstood without my morning coffee, thought you where asking if a tribe5 installation would just need to keep updated&upgrade to become the final release
[11:37] <jscinoz> have any of you used EPM (ESP Package Manager) to create a deb?
[11:38] <CountX> slackern: thats what i wanted to knw
[11:38] <CountX> slackern: like i dont want to have to reinstall, cause that a bitch, and if i dont have to i wanna know
[11:38] <yeager> jscinoz: no, never. checkinstall is my favorite
[11:39] <slackern> !final
[11:39] <AmyRose> CountX: I didn't try that yet, but I heard it's not recommended...
[11:39] <ubotu> If you installed a Tribe/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Gutsy. To make sure, type  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade  in a console.
[11:40] <jscinoz> yeager, but checkinstall only works when the program has a make install, the things i package are already compiled
[11:40] <CountX> AmyRose: it seems ubotu recoments it
[11:41] <slackern> CountX: You shouldn't need to reinstall but i can't say for 100% if something comes up that break things or anything like that, i usually do a clean install just to get rid of old crap from installing/testing a ton of packages that sometimes are broken
[11:42] <slackern> CountX: There shouldn't be a need to reinstall though unless you want to do it yourself :)
[11:42] <CountX> slackern: true, and i may have to, but i hope not too
[11:43] <yeager> jscinoz: no open source?
[11:43] <AmyRose> CountX: But I'm still on Feisty.
[11:43] <jscinoz> yeager, probably but i cant find it
[11:43] <jscinoz> its a patch for openoffice that add's .docx support, its normally just a tar.gz but i'm building a deb
[11:44] <AmyRose> CountX: I am trying to upgrade Feisty to Gutsy and the upgrader is giving up
[11:44] <jscinoz> problem is epm doesn't like complex package names, i wanted to call the package "openoffice.org-docx" but it doesnt work >_<
[11:44] <AmyRose> as in before anything actually happens
[11:44] <AmyRose> I know I'm supposed to expect breakage, but this is ridiculous :P
[11:45] <yeager> jscinoz: here is a .rpm you can convert with alien. http://download.novell.com/SummaryFree.jsp?buildid=ESrjfdE4U58%7E
[11:45] <jscinoz> cheers
[11:45] <jscinoz> wait
[11:46] <jscinoz> i tried that, didnt work, because ubuntu needs the files in a different location
[11:46] <jscinoz> apparently
[11:46] <AmyRose> I'm trying to pull any remnants of GNOME and XFCE to lighten the upgrade if I have to use the terminal to do it...
[11:46] <jussi01> AmyRose: make sure you file a bug. that way it will actually get fixed. we rely on people like you to tell us when things are broken
[11:46] <AmyRose> I will try again and report the bug then...
[11:47] <jussi01> !upgrade
[11:47] <AmyRose> It did say to try reporting it as a bug first but I wanted to ask around first
[11:47] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[11:47] <CountX> AmyRose: i just avoided that who thing, i got a tribe5 iso
[11:47] <jussi01> !bug | AmyRose
[11:47] <ubotu> AmyRose: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.ubuntu.com/  -  Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots
[11:49] <AmyRose> CountX: But I'd like to do it without wiping my hard drive if possible :P
[11:50] <CountX> AmyRose: you can resize an ext3 partition
[11:50] <CountX> AmyRose: just free up like 5gb of space and then when you go to install gutsy the partition manager will let you resize that old partiton and make it smaller, then you have the 5gb for gutsy
[11:50] <AmyRose> Eh...
[11:50] <AmyRose> That's not what I want to do...
[11:51] <CountX> AmyRose: then you can mount your old /home/ from the feisty patition
[11:51] <CountX> thats what i did :)
[11:51] <CountX> you keep all your settings
[11:51] <AmyRose> and it's not what I want to do
[11:51] <AmyRose> I hate multi-booting
[11:51] <CountX> AmyRose: thats cool
[11:52] <CountX> AmyRose: but i dont trust upgrading from feisty to gutsy, thats just me :)
[11:52] <CountX> BTW is there a quick way to disable desktop effects, like a command for it, so i can make a launcher
[11:53] <AmyRose> CountX: But doing it this way gives me the final on the release day :D
[11:57] <Fade> is there a FAQ of gutsy problems with compiz-fusion? when I start compiz I get a white screen, and nothing else.
[11:59] <Fade> for some reason direct rendering is turned off; this is an nvidia system
[12:05] <jussi01> Fade: #ubuntu-effects
[12:05] <Fade> thx
[12:06] <Fade> it's hard to keep track of all the ubuntu related channels these days.
[12:06] <jussi01> :)
[12:20] <hjmills> hi all - has anybody had interesting things happen since the upgrade?
[12:28] <gnubuntu> hjmills:  here is a screenshot from my gutsy compiz fusion bigdesktop (1440x900 + 1280x1024) working with ati fglrx 8.37.6: http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/7523/compizfusionbigdesktopyl1.png
[12:29] <linuxemacs> nice:?
[12:29] <hjmills> interesting
[12:29] <gnubuntu> yes thats coo! i dont believe thats work now :)
[12:29] <hjmills> dual monitors?
[12:30] <gnubuntu> yes dual monitor but set up as bigdesktop with multiple cubes in cf.
[12:30] <hjmills> im staying clear of compiz since it started randomly freezing for some unknown reason
[12:30] <hjmills> but just after the recent large update my pc froze randomly
[12:30] <linuxemacs> GNOME desktop environment.;)
[12:31] <hjmills> my cpu is also doing "interesting" things
[12:31] <gnubuntu> one bigdesktop works too. i dont habe any freeze or bugs with the latest version.
[12:31] <linuxemacs> but the compizfusion is very slow...
[12:31] <hjmills> X is averaging 10% cpu usage which is loads more than usual
[12:31] <hjmills> and it randomly spikes to 30%
[12:32] <linuxemacs> yes~consume more ram than normal display.
[12:32] <gnubuntu> linuxemacs: i gnome freak :) cf is soo fast with on my ati x1800 and intel core 2 duo.
[12:32] <linuxemacs> but it looks very nice~
[12:33] <linuxemacs> my laptop intel core 2 duo and x1400 video card. but i feel it is slow...
[12:33] <linuxemacs> so i have uninstall it~:(
[12:33] <gnubuntu> linuxemacs: then something wrong with your fglrx driver
[12:34] <jscinoz> what is the device for alsa output in /dev?
[12:34] <linuxemacs> no~~my fglrx driver is right, but the compiz consume much more ram and cup than normal mode.
[12:35] <hjmills> linuxemacs, try asking on #ubuntu-effects
[12:35] <linuxemacs> hehe~~~thx
[12:36] <linuxemacs> i don't wanna optimize compiz,  i only use GNOME environment or KDE.
[12:37] <gnubuntu> hjmills:  so many channels. but thx for the tip.
[12:37] <linuxemacs> but if i install compiz, i found system is very slow when i compile some library.
[12:37] <hjmills> ok, has anybody seen any problems with cpu usage since installing the latest tracker update?
[12:38] <jscinoz> Is there a device in /dev for alsa sound output? it seems /dev/dsp is OSS
[12:39] <hjmills> audio maybe?
[12:39] <hjmills> or adsp?
[12:39] <hjmills> or mixer
[12:39] <hjmills> yes i am guessing
[12:39] <jscinoz> ah mixer would be it
[12:39] <jscinoz> i dont have an adsp :P
[12:40] <hjmills> wonder why I do
[12:40] <jscinoz> darnit that /dev/mixer wasnt it
[12:40] <jscinoz> hmm
[12:40] <jscinoz> i wonder why i dont have an adsp?
[12:40] <hjmills> oh well - can anybody think of a sane reason why my ubuntu (which was installed through debootstrap) wont login to gnome (not even failsafe gnome)
[12:40] <hjmills> jscinoz, what are you trying to do?
[12:40] <laga> hjmills: ownership of your home directory?
[12:41] <linuxemacs> do you use root privilege login to GNOME?
[12:41] <jscinoz> A game called savage, it uses fmod to determine the sound driver, it uses OSS if it is available, however OSS results in slow/crackly sound with this game, and i need to get it to use ALSA, the instructions i found refer to a /dev/adsp which i dont have
[12:41] <linuxemacs> the normal root login to GNOME very well on my ubuntu.
[12:42] <hjmills> linuxemacs, no, thats just insecure :P
[12:42] <hjmills> laga, I think I changed that but I will give it a go
[12:42] <linuxemacs> :p
[12:43] <linuxemacs> i will go home~good bye all~
[12:43] <linuxemacs> :P~~~
[12:46] <hjmills> laga, no, its mine, all mine!
[12:48] <hjmills> laga, just to make things even more odd - sometimes X screws itself so I cant get to the VTTs and have to either ssh in or reboot
[12:50] <nomasteryoda> hjmills, you should edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove the quiet splash vga= part of the kernel line
[12:50] <nomasteryoda> that works for me
[12:51] <hjmills> oh ok, thanks - I'll give it a go
[12:51] <nomasteryoda> the vga= dorks up the VTT
[12:51] <jscinoz> should i have a /dev/adsp?
[12:51] <nomasteryoda> you could just do the edit on boot too
[12:51] <nomasteryoda> to test
[12:51] <hjmills> nomasteryoda, I dont think I have the vga bit
[12:51] <nomasteryoda> that's weird
[12:51] <nomasteryoda> only time i have seen that one ... oh well
[12:52] <hjmills> nomasteryoda, It was debootstrapped so all the grub stuff was manual
[12:52] <nomasteryoda> ic
[12:53] <hjmills> what program can I use to watch a log file?
[12:53] <nomasteryoda> tail /var/log/messages -f
[12:53] <hjmills> nomasteryoda, thanks
[12:53] <nomasteryoda> np
[12:53] <hjmills> nomasteryoda, is messages the one to watch for errors during gnome login?
[12:54] <nomasteryoda> think that one is Xorg.log
[12:54] <nomasteryoda> i have not monitored that one in a while
[12:55] <nomasteryoda> Xorg.0.log?
[12:55] <hjmills> nomasteryoda, im watching it now, thanks
[12:55] <nomasteryoda> yup
[12:56] <nomasteryoda> and the 20 for recession out of X
[12:58] <hjmills> in syslog I am getting GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_get_string: assertion `key_file != NULL' failed repeated 3 times when I login
[01:00] <nomasteryoda> no info on that... i would have to search launchpad or google
[01:01] <hjmills> nomasteryoda, yeah - should have done that before posting as I did find a bug on it with a (slightly botchy) fix
[01:02] <hjmills> nomasteryoda, now it gets slightly further but gdm restarts - The syslog output is here: http://pastebin.com/d38a0dc36
[01:03] <nomasteryoda> lookin
[01:03] <hjmills> nomasteryoda, the last three lines are occuring after gdm restarts and the network manager stuff is the same as my desktop so I think its fine (atm its on the wired connection)
[01:06] <nomasteryoda> which video driver?
[01:06] <fuoco> what's better to test gutsy, reinstall it or upgrade from a feisty ?
[01:06] <hjmills> nomasteryoda, ati
[01:07] <hjmills> fuoco, test it out for your benefit or to test it to find bugs?
[01:08] <jscinoz> In gutsy, should i have a /dev/adsp?
[01:09] <nomasteryoda> hjmills, look at the "/var/log/gdm/\:0.log"
[01:09] <nomasteryoda> see if you can get more info
[01:09] <fuoco> hjmills: both
[01:10] <hjmills> fuoco, if you want an easy install - do it from scratch - if you want to test gutsy properly then upgrade (if it goes wrong you can install from scratch anyway)
[01:10] <nomasteryoda> jscinoz, i have ... for what its worth
[01:10] <nomasteryoda> fuoco, will be faster than doing all the upgrades
[01:10] <nomasteryoda> honest
[01:11] <fuoco> nomasteryoda: what would be faster?
[01:11] <nomasteryoda> installing fresh
[01:11] <hjmills> nomasteryoda, the only errors in there are from those stupid wacom devices
[01:11] <nomasteryoda> upgrading from tribe5 will go faster
[01:11] <nomasteryoda> ok
[01:12] <nomasteryoda> i have those too.. but when the pad is not connected
[01:12] <nomasteryoda> =D
[01:12] <nomasteryoda> which would happen for most folks
[01:13] <fuoco> thing i would have tried the daily cd but it's oversized
[01:13] <nomasteryoda> well then do the upgrade...
[01:13] <nomasteryoda> we do what we can...
[01:14] <edn2> in gutsy, i'm noticing the dcraw process consistently eating up about 40% of the cpu ... i was about to remove it but it appears to now be required by the ubuntu-desktop package - not sure what to do
[01:14] <nomasteryoda> hjmills, you on a 64bit box?
[01:15] <hjmills> nomasteryoda, yeah, sorry, should have mentioned
[01:15] <nomasteryoda> oh well, it seems lots of other seeing this
[01:15] <nomasteryoda> 32 or 64
[01:16] <hjmills> nomasteryoda, i have a 64bit amd turion X2 and I am running the amd64 bit version of gutsy
[01:17] <nomasteryoda> k
[01:17] <hjmills> nomasteryoda, should I just shunt the gutsy partition aside and use feisty for another month?
[01:18] <hjmills> nomasteryoda, I had been assuming it was something I was missing because i used debootstrap to install it all
[01:18] <nomasteryoda> i would ... in fact, if i reboot and same happens my feisty is waiting on second part.
[01:18] <nomasteryoda> some dev issues to be worked out...
[01:18] <nomasteryoda> for sure
[01:19] <hjmills> nomasteryoda, thanks very much for helping me get this far with it
[01:19] <nomasteryoda> np
[01:19] <nomasteryoda> i learned something from it too
[01:21] <fuoco> can someone check if he's got on his gutsy install a kernel module gspca?
[01:22] <hjmills> fuoco, think so
[01:22] <nomasteryoda> i'm searching
[01:22] <hjmills> fuoco, locate tells me something is there
[01:22] <fuoco> i couldn't find it in the list of installed files by the kernel
[01:23] <fuoco> hjmills: in /lib/modules/{gutsy-kernel}/...
[01:23] <fuoco> ?
[01:24] <hjmills> fuoco, /lib/modules/2.6.22-11-generic/ubuntu/media/gspcav1/gspca.ko
[01:24] <hjmills> fuoco, I also have the same for 2.6.22-10-generic
[01:24] <fuoco> hmm
[01:24] <fuoco> ok thx
[01:26] <fuoco> but what's -generic? why not -386?
[01:27] <jscinoz> ugh this is such a bitch
[01:27] <jscinoz> any of you guys played that game "Savage"?
[01:28] <hjmills> fuoco, I think generic is the kernel with everything in and adapts to the right stuff
[01:28] <hjmills> fuoco, and its not i386 because i am on amd64
[01:29] <jscinoz> Anyone know how i can create a /dev/adsp device entry?
[01:31] <jscinoz> is /dev/audio alsa or oss?
[01:34] <jscinoz> ...
[01:42] <yeager> jscinoz: mknod -m 666 /dev/adsp1 c 14 28
[01:42] <jscinoz> does it need to be adsp1 if i dont already have adsp?
[01:43] <yeager> see here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=201138
[01:43] <jscinoz> thank you
[01:43] <yeager> i think alsa should configure them for you
[01:43] <yeager> just symlink adsp0,1,2 or similar to adsp
[01:44] <jscinoz> gah this is so confusing
[01:45] <jscinoz> basically i'm trying to get the game "Savage" to use alsa instead of oss, i finally got that to work, but it guesses which sound device to use which results in crackling sound, a user on their forums says you need to manually tell it where to output to in /dev, however it suggests /dev/adsp which i dont have, and i've tried /dev/dsp /dev/mixer and all the ones in /dev/snd to no avail.
[01:47] <fuoco> hjmills: can you check which package owns  /lib/modules/2.6.22-11-generic/ubuntu/media/gspcav1/gspca.ko for you? (with dpkg-query -S )
[01:51] <hjmills> fuoco, /lib/modules/2.6.22-11-generic/ubuntu/media/gspcav1/gspca.ko
[01:51] <hjmills> linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-11-generic
[01:51] <fuoco> hjmills: ok, clear now, thx a lot
[01:52] <hjmills> fuoco, sure
[01:52] <darrend> is it possible to make the gnome desktop show an application menu on right-click?
[01:53] <darrend> (I'm more used to xfce where this is configurable)
[02:00] <ReL1K> anyone know how to get dual monitors working, one vga, and one lcd, and not use the laptop screen...grandr just sees my laptop screen and my main lcd

[02:02] <Fracture> anyone know if 11.14.19 fixes the black window issue ?
[02:03] <sn0> Fracture it fixes the out of memory black window issue yes
[02:04] <Fracture> sn0: any idea when gusty will have it ?
[02:04] <sn0> when using effects
[02:04] <sn0> oh wait 111.14.19 hmm
[02:04] <sn0> i thought that was fied in .11
[02:04] <Fracture> http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=5f62fe89384a3f2d4a24f557321acf3c&t=98635
[02:04] <sn0> fixed*
[02:04] <Fracture> says Improved GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap out-of-memory handling.
[02:04] <sn0> cool
[02:04] <Fracture> thats in 100.14.19... .11 still has black window  issue for me
[02:05] <Amaranth> Fracture: yes, it's fixed
[02:05] <Amaranth> it'll be in gutsy soon
[02:05] <Fracture> yeehaa
[02:05] <sn0> nice
[02:05] <Fracture> Amaranth: hwat about vid cards with 128mb ram, when using dual screen ?
[02:06] <Amaranth> Fracture: if you use 100.14.19 no problem
[02:06] <Fracture> Amaranth: that's just cool
[02:06] <Amaranth> Fracture: we are not going to do the memory check
[02:06] <Amaranth> we'll probably just make compiz refuse to work on nvidia-glx, only nvidia-glx-new
[02:06] <fuoco> oh great gspca is not on powerpc
[02:07] <Amaranth> so geforce 4 owners with 128MB of vram get screwed, otherwise none of the other cards the 9631 driver supports have a chance of working right
[02:07] <Fracture> ok.. why would anyone not use -new ?
[02:07] <Amaranth> Fracture: they have an older card
[02:07] <Fracture> ok
[02:07] <sn0> thx Amaranth /me goes to make everyone tea
[02:14] <sandy> can anyone help me i have a problem with my gusty ubuntu , its not getting update and upgrade and any site is not getting open in the firefox can anyone help me plzzzzzz
[02:16] <sandy> anyone there
[02:17] <Ng> sandy: how do you connect to the internet?
 throug st IP
 my net is working fine
[02:18] <Ng> if you're not getting things in firefox or any system upgrades, I submit that your computer is not talking to the internet very well
[02:19] <Ng> perhaps you have some incorrect proxy settings?
 recently i upgrade my system during that time the system got off and this problem came
 Now i am able to chat with you that means that net is working fine
[02:20] <Ng> but web traffic isn't working
[02:21] <Ng> which suggests it's a web proxy issue
[02:21] <Ng> (either you're not using one and you should be, or you're trying to use one and you shouldn't)
[02:22] <sandy> so what should i do now
[02:49] <JDahl> did compiz break in latest upgrade? I cannot start desktop effect anymore
[02:49] <virtuelv> Question: is anyone having problems with compiz-fusion and intel GPU's?
[02:49] <virtuelv> JDahl: I am, at least
[02:50] <JDahl> virtuelv, I have a 965 chipset
[02:50] <virtuelv> dunno exactly what's in mine, but it's in a Lenovo X61s
[02:50] <JDahl> virtuelv, I think it's the same
[02:50] <virtuelv> also, control of the LCD backlight broke

[02:57] <ReL1K> JDahl: im having the same problem
[02:57] <ReL1K> JDahl: worked fine for me until i updated last night
[03:03] <Vorbote> A possible solution: Go into single user mode ("sudo telinit 1") go to your home directory "(cd ~luserdir") and rename both .gconf and .gconfd dirs ("mv .gconf .gconf.old && mv .gcond .gconfd.old"). Then go back into multiuser mode ("telinit 2) or reboot (better the latter).

[03:16] <virtuelv> something else broke for me with the latest update: the backlight on my Lenovo X61s is no longer settable
[03:16] <virtuelv> (And, I presume, it doesn't actually turn back on when i go back from sleep)

[03:29] <jussi01> Hobbsee: btw, if you run dolphin, then click go here as root (or similar) in right corner, after doing some actions you close, does your normal dolphin complain about some favourites file?
[03:30] <Hobbsee> jussi01: it was before, i think i chown'd it.
[03:30] <Hobbsee> but it wouldnt surprise me
[03:30] <jussi01> its quite annoying, as you have to change the permissions on that file or remove it to fix it.
[03:30] <jussi01> should I be filing a bug?
[03:43] <Hobbsee> jussi01: upstream.
[03:43] <soc> can someone verify this too?

[04:01] <petal> I just upgraded to Gutsy and now Thunderbird2 crashes with a segmentation fault - Could this be because the 2.0 version of TB I used in Feisty came from a third-party source?
[04:04] <Hobbsee> petal: does it happen with ~/.thunderbird and ~/.mozilla-thunderbird moved out of the way?
[04:04] <branstrom> I upgraded yesterday from feisty to gutsy. I added a repo from launchpad later on, to get the Pidgin 2.2.0 packages: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xhaker/ubuntu gutsy main
[04:04] <branstrom> Now I've removed that repo from sources.list, but there's lots of available updates showing anyways
[04:05] <branstrom> What could be the matter?
[04:05] <petal> Hobbsee: Is .mozilla-thunderbird supposed to be renamed to .thunderbird?
[04:06] <Hobbsee> petal: from 1.5 to 2.0, yes, iirc.
[04:06] <Pici> branstrom: Are you sure that the packages in question are coming from that repo?
[04:06] <branstrom> Pici: not quite, how do I find out for sure?
[04:06] <branstrom> It just shows one version as (gutsy) and the updates as (now)
[04:06] <Pici> branstrom: Make sure that you removed that repo from the sources.list, and do an apt-get update.
[04:07] <Pici> branstrom: I've been getting at least 10 packages to upgrade a day for the past few days.
[04:07] <petal> Hobbsee: The third-party version under Feisty continued to use .mozilla-thunderbird without crashing. Should I try to rename? Or try to reinstall and then copy over?
[04:07] <branstrom> Pici: I'm using Synaptic, and I unchecked the repo and doublechecked to see that it was commented out in sources.list, and then reloaded
[04:07] <branstrom> A minute ago the official repos couldn't be accessed, but now it's fine, but still showing lots of updates
[04:08] <branstrom> Maybe it's just the way it is, though, I don't know
[04:08] <Pici> branstrom: I think if you right click on a package in synaptic, one of the property pages shows you what repo  it is coming from
[04:09] <branstrom> Pici: what's your latest acpi-support? 0.102 or 103?
[04:10] <Pici> .103
[04:10] <branstrom> Ah.
[04:10] <branstrom> Going ahead and upgrading, then.
[04:10] <petal> Hobbsee: Trying to delete EVERYTHING now and then see what happens... If all goes well I might be able to copy over the whole profile (I hope).
[04:10] <Pici> I don't have any unofficial repos either.
[04:11] <Hobbsee> petal: just move it out of the way.  i dont remember, anymore
[04:12] <slytherin> branstrom: Gutsy is still under development. So expect package updates everyday.
[04:12] <slytherin> Anybody here having problem deleting printer from the System->Administration->Printing dialog?
[04:13] <branstrom> slytherin: yes, I just wanted to be sure I wasn't upgrading to all the packages from that launchpad repo in some odd way. The updates showed up when I reloaded after I had added that repo, and then didn't disappear when I unchecked it in Synaptic. Which confused me.
[04:15] <petal> Hobbsee: Hm... the freshly installed one still created .mozilla-thunderbird instead of .thunderbird
[04:16] <petal> Hobbsee: Does that really matter?
[04:17] <Hobbsee> petal: it uses .thunderbird now
[04:17] <Hobbsee> and yes, it will matter
[04:17] <ReL1K> anyone got dual monitors working on intel  gm965?
[04:18] <Hobbsee> so move the .thunderbird one out of teh way, and see if it still segfaults
[04:19] <DanaG> Odd: recent updates have broken my brightness control.
[04:19] <DanaG> It used to work everywhere, including the console.

[04:38] <BockBilbo> any of you using network-manager to access to an OpenVPN server?
[04:39] <BockBilbo> im having trouble with the default route
[04:39] <ShackJack> Hi fellow monkeys!  ARRRGH... I'm having some issue with Gutsy not automountiing USB keys and the like lately... Most times the device will show in lsusb (though sometimes not in the case of my external USB hard drive)... Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issues lately?
[04:40] <ShackJack> (the ARRGH is my attempt to "talk like a pirate" in IM mode - not an exclamation of frustration ;))
[04:40] <CountX> is there anything that can run windows virtually, and run openGL programs effeciently
[04:41] <CountX> virtualbox is very slow at this
[04:41] <ShackJack> CountX: No, not yet...
[04:41] <CountX> ShackJack: damn...
[04:41] <LjL> CountX: vmware has direct3d (but not opengl) support, but it's experimental.
[04:41] <LjL> use wine if you're lucky enough to have applications that work on it
[04:41] <Trewas> I guess font rendering was changed by purpose in new libfreetype6 package from yesterday, too bad that the previous rendering was far better
[04:41] <CountX> LjL: for some reason i cant install vmware
[04:42] <CountX> LjL: nope, the program need .net 2.0
[04:42] <ShackJack> Trewas: My fonts always look great on my 1680x1050 notebook screen :)
[04:42] <CountX> LjL: where would you suggest installing vmware from?
[04:42] <ShackJack> CountX: It's in the repos...
[04:42] <LjL> CountX: vmware-player package from multiverse
[04:42] <CountX> LjL: and that can run d3d?
[04:43] <Trewas> ShackJack: heh, I guess the change is not too obvious with high resolution, this is 12" 1024x768 laptop display so the added blur is quite obvious
[04:43] <LjL> CountX: i think it has the same d3d abilities that vmware workstation has (although it's probably not the very latest version), since easyvmx gives and option for that
[04:44] <ShackJack> Trewas: Yeah my desktop's 19" 1280x1024 monitor is a bit iffy, but not terrible... Though a recent update borked the nvidia driver so I'm missing my eye-candy...
[04:44] <jgm> Is there any news on when the nvidia driver is likely to make a return?
[04:44] <CountX> LjL:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[04:44] <CountX>   vmware-player-kernel-modules: Depends: vmware-player-kernel-modules-2.6.20-15 which is a virtual package.
[04:45] <CountX> LjL: and the solution for that is to not install anything...
[04:45] <LjL> likely that sort of stuff isn't in place yet for gutsy...
[04:45] <LjL> i'm on feisty, so not sure
[04:45] <CountX> poo
[04:47] <CountX> so what am i just totaly effed?
[04:47] <CountX> like, i am seriousy damned?
[04:48] <CountX> this means that there is no chance, like whatso ever for linux to be useful for me.....i mean, like there is no way to run this ONE program, that is like the only program i ever need, truely need, and i cant run it...
[04:49] <CountX> so me spending the past 2 weeks learing about linux, has been a waste of time??
[04:49] <CountX> im going to file a bug report...
[04:49] <LjL> you shouldn't rely on linux to run *windows* programs... sometimes it can run them, but you certainly shouldn't assume it does!
[04:49] <LjL> a bug report about not being able to run a windows program?
[04:49] <CountX> the program runs in openGL
[04:50] <LjL> err... so what, if it's for windows?
[04:50] <CountX> no, a comment on bug#1
[04:50] <LjL> ah well

[04:53] <slytherin> CountX: If you arew looking for 3D graphics design program then try blender. It will take time to learn it but it is pretty good.
[04:53] <CountX> slytherin: who said i was looking?
[04:53] <CountX> slytherin: name one professional business that uses blender as part of their pipeline
[04:54] <slytherin> CountX: The reason professional business don't try something new is because they want to avoid learning curve.
[04:54] <CountX> not to be a D*** but yeah, it kinda doesnt help when everyone already uses a particular program, to go out and learn a completely different one
[04:55] <jepler> CountX: you're welcome to feel that way, but understand that this isn't a place to get sympathy
[04:55] <CountX> slytherin: im not trying to change the world, i just want to get a yob
[04:55] <ShackJack> I'm having some issue with Gutsy not automountiing USB keys and the like lately... Most times the device will show in lsusb (though sometimes not in the case of my external USB hard drive)... Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issues lately?
[04:55] <CountX> ShackJack: i'll let you know tomorrow, when i head over to my work and get me usb drive back
[04:56] <CountX> and/or file a bug report with the most specifics i can
[04:56] <slytherin> CountX: Yes. and that is the thing that is wrong with 'getting job' They are not looking for an artist. They are looking for someone who knows how to use 3dsmax. That is the wrong approach.
[04:57] <ShackJack> 3dsmax? Why not Blender ;)
[04:57] <CountX> jepler, slytherindont: dont get me wrong, i love linux, it just kinda sucks that i missed out on a lot of time i could have been working on learning to use blender :)
[04:57] <slytherin> ShackJack: I haven't observed that till yesterday. But then I am only using my digicam in USB mode and not tried with usb disk
[04:57] <CountX> my laptop has a SD card slot and it works fine
[04:58] <ShackJack> slytherin: Does the cam show up when you lsusb? (just curious?)
[04:58] <CountX> it even puts the icon of a little SD card on my  desktop
[04:59] <slytherin> ShackJack: Didn't bother to check. It just mounts as usb device.
[04:59] <CountX> are there any good .max to blender converters?
[04:59] <slytherin> CountX: no idea.
[04:59] <ShackJack> CountX: Blender reads/write max natively, I beleive...
[04:59] <CountX> ShackJack: no shit?
[04:59] <jepler> http://www.katsbits.com/htm/google_faq.php?subaction=showfull&id=1172781635&archive=&start_from=&ucat=12&
[04:59] <jepler> Q) Is there a blender to .max importer?
[04:59] <jepler> A) There isn't one, at least nothing that's fit for public consumption. The *.max format is similar in principle to Blenders *.blend file in that it saves everything to do a given scene; it's a working format so that's to be expected.
[04:59] <CountX> !blender
[04:59] <ubotu> blender is a free application for 3D modelling, animation, rendering, etc. You can install it from Ubuntu's repositories, and tutorials are at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro

[05:01] <CountX> haha

[05:01] <CountX> ....
[05:01] <jepler> if you're just trying to find out something for yourself, it would be better to: /msg ubotu blender
[05:02] <slackern> I think ubotu is stuffed now :)
[05:02] <CountX> jepler: ok, but, are you trying to say im making the room a little flooded?
[05:02] <CountX> jepler: cause its pretty quiet, theres like 4 people active
[05:02] <jepler> bbl
[05:02] <ShackJack> jepler: The Blender features list says it reads and writes to: 3D Studio - is that the same as .max?
[05:06] <CountX> ShackJack: no
[05:06] <CountX> ShackJack: thats .3ds
[05:07] <CountX> ShackJack: .max is way more recent, like max 8/9
[05:07] <CountX> ShackJack: and the soon max 2008
[05:08] <ShackJack> CountX: Ahhh my mad -- at any  rate... I bet you could save to  a "universal" format they  both understand perhaps?
[05:09] <CountX> ShackJack: that kinda makes the pipeline a little strange, but maybe
[05:09] <CountX> ShackJack: we use zbrush too so its like, theres a good amount of converting already
[05:13] <hjmills> CountX, surely you should be asking the kind developers of max 2008 to support open formats in addition to .max or to open the .max format before complaining other developers haven't bent over backwards to accomodate your preferred software?
[05:14] <CountX> hjmills: you think they care?
[05:15] <hjmills> CountX, well if enough people request it as a feature then they will have to consider it else you could stop using their software
[05:16] <CountX> hjmills: i dont even own a copy, what do they care
[05:16] <hjmills> CountX, do you think the blender devs care (enough to reverse engineer a proprietary file format) when they don't get paid so don't really mind if a few people dont use their software)
[05:16] <hjmills> CountX, then why do you need to convert to their formats?
[05:16] <CountX> hjmills: so i can work at home
[05:17] <hjmills> CountX, what do you use at work and at home?
[05:17] <CountX> hjmills: i use max/zbrush at work, and nothing at home
[05:18] <hjmills> CountX, therefore you are a user at work so should ask the developers of max to support open file formats or to open the max format
[05:18] <CountX> hjmills: what format would you suggest to keep all animation/texture/geometry/lighting/rigging/skin weighting while converting?
[05:19] <CountX> hjmills: as far as i know obj is terrible at that
[05:19] <CountX> hjmills: all cameras go haywire, i dont even want to think about what it does to animation, let alone skin weights
[05:20] <hjmills> CountX, I really don't know anything about the software you are using but I know (roughly) how hard it is to support a proprietary format by reverse engineering it
[05:21] <CountX> hjmills: yeah, well the fact is that there is no universal open source format
[05:21] <CountX> hjmills: they all are good for one specific thing
[05:21] <CountX> hjmills: the only good stuff for all around 3d is proprietary
[05:21] <hjmills> could you not find a windows program to convert .max to .3ds then convert to that before you go home so u can open that in blender and work at home, save in 3ds and convert back to .max at work
[05:22] <CountX> .3ds looses all the stuff i work on
[05:22] <CountX> i do animation, .3ds looses all the skin weights
[05:22] <CountX> which means i would have to do it allll over again
[05:22] <hjmills> CountX, looks like the developers of Max have you in a nice little vendor lock in then
[05:23] <CountX> hjmills: like i said, there is no other format to convert to, there is nothing else that has the amount of detail in saving all your work
[05:24] <CountX> hjmills: if you look at it that way they have provided something opensource apparently cant
[05:25] <hjmills> CountX, well yes, but you do pay for the extra features (and pay for more next time you buy the upgrade probably)
[05:25] <hjmills> CountX, while you cant do everything with open source software, you can do 99% and it comes out a lot cheaper
[05:25] <CountX> hjmills: its yearly subscription
[05:26] <CountX> hjmills: well it doesnt really matter when i dont have to pay for it, the company does
[05:26] <hjmills> CountX, fair enough - but regardless, someone somewhere still pays the developers whereas the developers of blender (and other OSS projects) only get donations
[05:27] <CountX> hjmills: and that makes it better?
[05:27] <CountX> hjmills: its all a matter of 3ds max not making it open source, no the OTHER open source programs
[05:28] <hjmills> CountX, It's logical for people getting paid to produce a better product than people working for nothing
[05:28] <CountX> hjmills: exactly, its just they dont want to loose any money by releasing it open source and people stealing it and calling it something else
[05:28] <ShackJack> hjmills: Wouuld a case study for that assertion be Microsoft WIndows :P
[05:29] <hjmills> ShackJack, exceptions to every rule :P
[05:29] <CountX> ShackJack: thats what we are really talking about ;(
[05:30] <hjmills> CountX, they only have to open the file format - not the whole program - so that other programs can support their files making it easier to incorporate max studio into the production cycle
[05:30] <ShackJack> I do not work in the 3d modeling field, but just from what I seen of Blender final results, it seems like most anything can be done with it :)
[05:31] <hjmills> Another example is the gimp - it is very powerful but the strange interface means people cant find the features they are used to
[05:31] <ShackJack> hjmills: Have you seen Gimp 2.4 in gutsy - big changes - much better usability...
[05:32] <hjmills> ShackJack, I noticed it had a nice splash...
[05:32] <ShackJack> hjmills: Take a second look at the menu structure... it's a bit more familiar, wouldn't you say...
[05:32] <hjmills> ShackJack, now you mention it I did notice some changes (I barely use graphics programs)
[05:33] <hjmills> ShackJack, yeah - much better
[05:33] <ShackJack> Its much more similar to photoshop - not a clone mind you, but easier for someone used to PS...
[05:33] <CountX> ShackJack: agreed
[05:33] <ShackJack> Though I still wish they went with a single window interface, or at least gave the option :)
[05:33] <hjmills> ShackJack, yeah - I tend to run it on a different virtual desktop
[05:34] <ShackJack> I think VD's were made for GIMP :)
[05:34] <ShackJack> Though I like to have my taskbar show windows from all desktops, so it still clutters it up... But I also have PS3 running on WinXP in VirtualBox, so meh...
[05:44] <Le-Chuck_ITA> hi all
[05:44] <Le-Chuck_ITA> gutsy modutils is ignoring my blacklist
[05:44] <Le-Chuck_ITA> is this normal for some reason?
[05:49] <Le-Chuck_ITA> hhmpf
[05:49] <Le-Chuck_ITA> reboot
[05:57] <Le-Chuck_ITA> here again
[05:57] <Le-Chuck_ITA> I was asking how to blacklist modules in gutsy
[06:01] <hjmills> Le-Chuck_ITA, look at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[06:01] <Le-Chuck_ITA> I know but it's not working
[06:01] <Le-Chuck_ITA> I thought that maybe modutils have changed
[06:02] <Le-Chuck_ITA> neither is modprobe.d
[06:02] <Le-Chuck_ITA> oh I meant neither is putting files with .blacklist ext
[06:02] <Le-Chuck_ITA> blacklist thermal
[06:02] <Le-Chuck_ITA> blacklist processor
[06:02] <Le-Chuck_ITA> lsmod|grep processor

[06:03] <hjmills> I have a file called /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. If I put lines like "blacklist thermal" in there and reboot then the thermal module isnt loaded
[06:03] <hjmills> Le-Chuck_ITA, if you just want to unload a module then use sudo rmmod
[06:05] <Le-Chuck_ITA> hjmills: I have the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and I wrote there the two lines mentioned above, I absolutely need that these two modules are not loaded, and they are being loaded automatically. rmmod removes them as it should, do you have gutsy right now?
[06:05] <hjmills> Le-Chuck_ITA, yes
[06:06] <hjmills> Le-Chuck_ITA, hence why I am here (#ubuntu+1)
[06:06] <Le-Chuck_ITA> and you have some blacklisted module and it's not being loaded?
[06:06] <hjmills> Le-Chuck_ITA, I dont need to blacklist any modules at the moment
[06:06] <Le-Chuck_ITA> ok :)
[06:07] <hjmills> check you are using the alias stuff?
[06:07] <Le-Chuck_ITA> hmmm maybe
[06:08] <Le-Chuck_ITA> $ grep -R processor /etc/modprobe.d/
[06:08] <Le-Chuck_ITA> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:blacklist processor
[06:08] <Le-Chuck_ITA> no, there is no alias involved here :)
[06:10] <Le-Chuck_ITA> seems like the file isn't being read
[06:17] <petal> After hours of trying to fix Thunderbird 2.0 + Lightning-Calendar I can surely claim now that Thunderbird2.0+Lightning breaks in Gutsy... at least for now... Just FYI.
[06:18] <slanning> woo, I find 150 updates today - is it getting close to release time? (rhetorical question :)

[07:15] <Mirv> I'd like to test upgrading with the update-manager in order to find out if there are bugs, but it's not offered
[07:16] <Mirv> I did show the upgrade to 7.10 to me a month ago or so

[07:23] <rothchild> also what is the effect called when the windows move around each other as you select them? - I've turned it off somehow and I'd like it back
[07:25] <Mirv> ok, rm -rf .update-manager-core fixed it, I hope it's something that's happening without hacking like I've done

[08:21] <kristjan_> nvidia-glx-always-latest would be great :-D
[08:21] <mon^rch> without me crashing X, can anyone tell me if I can run opengl apps + compiz yet?
[08:22] <mon^rch> really, anyone...
[08:22] <rothchild> is there any reason why usb thumb drives shouldn't be automagically detected at the moment?
[08:22] <scizzo-> mon^rch: you need to have the support for opengl
[08:22] <scizzo-> I am trying to figure out this xgl problem of mine
[08:23] <mon^rch> scizzo-: um, I have support for opengl. X crashes and restarts every time I play a game like quake
[08:23] <mon^rch> if Im running compiz
[08:23] <scizzo-> mon^rch: what happens if you start the game from a terminal?
[08:23] <LinAsH> mon^rch, you're using AIGLX or xgl? if xgl it's likely you will never have good perf in openGL apps
[08:23] <mon^rch> everything is hunky doerey if Im using metacity
[08:24] <scizzo-> ok...I just found out that XGL when running that does not recognize the nvidia drivers
[08:24] <scizzo-> which means that direct rendering is turned off...
[08:24] <mon^rch> hrmmm... how do I tell if im using xgl or aiglx?
[08:24] <scizzo-> mon^rch: what kind of card do you have?
[08:24] <mon^rch> nvidia
[08:24] <scizzo-> nvidia or ati?
[08:25] <mon^rch> ^
[08:25] <LinAsH> mon^rch, I think nvidia have a special version of AIGLX, it should work fine.
[08:25] <mon^rch> lol... ok watch this..., Im going to start quake
[08:25] <kristjan_> mon^rch: what drivers version? disable sync_to_vblank
[08:27] <mon^rch> see, told you it would crash
[08:27] <mon^rch> :P
[08:28] <LinAsH> mon^rch, are you sure you use the nvdia driver? (not nv)
[08:28] <LinAsH> *nvidia
[08:28] <mon^rch> I use nvidia.. I am not THAT much of a novice. I am comp savvy :)
[08:29] <mon^rch> compiz + games = crash
[08:29] <mon^rch> I even locked my pc with opengl screensavers
[08:29] <kristjan_> mon^rch: what version of drivers?
[08:29] <mon^rch> groan
[08:30] <LinAsH> mon^rch, well you can always disbale compiz before playing game...
[08:30] <mon^rch> the latest in the repos for gutsy
[08:30] <kristjan_> mon^rch: not latest really
[08:30] <kristjan_> mon^rch: anyway disable sync-to-vlbank in compiz
[08:30] <mon^rch> I disable compiz for games currently, yes but I really shouldnt have to... I can run compiz and opengl apps on Feisty :/
[08:31] <scizzo-> mon^rch: feisty != gutsy
[08:31] <scizzo-> mon^rch: gutsy is not the latest stable version and you should know that....things can crash still
[08:31] <mon^rch> ok, how do I disable sync to vblank, and what will that accomplish?
[08:31] <jsomers> is it just me or is it still not possible to do an upgrade?
[08:32] <jsomers> there were some issues yesterday with dpkg and libc or something
[08:32] <kristjan_> mon^rch: did you install compiz settings thingy?
[08:32] <mon^rch> scizzo-: I am not complaining... just looking for a solution... I enjoy breaking my system with dev software. an install only takes an hour
[08:33] <mon^rch> kristjan_: yes I did
[08:33] <scizzo-> mon^rch: yeah well you are still comparing feisty with gutsy in the stable vs dev way
[08:33] <mirak> hi
[08:34] <mirak> is there a way to do an upgrade with update manager to gutsy ?
[08:34] <mon^rch> like I said... I was just wondering if I could run my opengl + compiz yet, is all
[08:34] <mon^rch> :)
[08:34] <mirak> or is only a feature for when it's the time ?
[08:34] <tonyyarusso> mirak: there will be when it's final
[08:34] <tonyyarusso> right
[08:34] <mirak> tonyyarusso: it's hardcoded ?
[08:34] <mirak> tonyyarusso: it depends of a update-manager feisty update ?
[08:34] <tonyyarusso> mirak: It's an update to update-manager that gets pushed out via feisty-updates when the time comes.
[08:34] <mirak> ok
[08:35] <mirak> so I will change manually then ...
[08:35] <mirak> I have a dual boot, I just want to check it
[08:37] <mon^rch> bulletproof X is nice btw, guys
[08:42] <_Jaak_> Why is there an old nvidia driver in the gutsy repo? it's the same one as in feisty?
[08:45] <scizzo-> _Jaak_: the nvidia-glx driver is the standard one I guess that will be changed later if I am not wrong
[08:54] <kristjan_> aaaw, after waiting a year they finally fixed the cursed black window bug /me plays with compiz now
[08:58] <nemik> kristjan_: was that the problem with the nvidia card?
[08:58] <gert> good evening everyone
[08:59] <gert> since a few days, doing apt-get install -f gives me a segmentation fault
[08:59] <kristjan_> nemik: exactly
[08:59] <nemik> kristjan_: i should tell my friend, he was bitching about that bug for a very long time. so new nvidia driver fixes it? or new compiz?
[08:59] <scizzo-> gert: what kind of segmentation fault?
[09:00] <gert> it does while 'Preparing to replace libglib2.0-0 2.14.0-2ubuntu1 '
[09:00] <kristjan_> nemik: the nvidia driver
[09:00] <gert> segmentation fault (core dumped)
[09:00] <nemik> so it's in the repos now?
[09:00] <kristjan_> nemik: the latest one, not in repos
[09:00] <nemik> of gutsy, right>?
[09:01] <kristjan_> nemik: nono, you have to install it manually, gutsy has older now
[09:01] <nemik> ah ok cool, from nvidia site then?
[09:02] <kristjan_> nemik: yes 100,14.19
[09:04] <nemik> awesome thanks, my friend will be very happy about this
[09:06] <gert> and using synaptics, I get E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[09:08] <nemik> gert: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=554229

[09:20] <winbond> when dolphin is run as administrator, it then throws an error every times its closed , Unable to save bookmarks in /home/user/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml. Permission denied. is this bug already reported, or is there way to fix t?
[09:25] <gnomefreak> winbond: i dont think that is a bug since you should beable to save to it without running as admin
[09:25] <gnomefreak> winbond: if you can save it without admin i would lean towards not a bug.
[09:26] <gnomefreak> why would you be running it as admin to save bookmarks?
[09:27] <winbond> gnomefreak, i changed the file permissions to user, but it still throws same error
[09:28] <gnomefreak> winbond: sounds more like something on your end with permissions is messed up but file bug anyway see what happens
[09:30] <Killamurk07> umm can anyone help me with cedega?? this my first time using it...Any help
[09:31] <ReL1K> anyone running into the issue where compiz is enabled, 3d cube works fine but only displays 2 desktops, not the 4 that i have?
[09:31] <gert> thanks everyone: problem solved
[09:31] <eeyore_> Hi. After updating to gutsy, I lost my virtual desktops and the applet that sits in the bar no longer has a setting for number of desktops under right click->properties
[09:31] <eeyore_> I mean right now, it's just one virtual desktop and I can see that with the applet
[09:31] <yaccin> will gutsy final enable encryption of the harddisk before installation?
[09:31] <gnomefreak> ReL1K: alof of people have
[09:31] <yaccin> or is it planned for any other ubuntu versions?
[09:31] <ReL1K> kewl, not just me :)
[09:31] <gnomefreak> eeyore_: bug 140519

[09:31] <yaccin> because encrypting the drive AFTER installation is a little bit silly...
[09:32] <gnomefreak> eeyore_: there are more that was one that i just saw somewhere else
[09:32] <gnomefreak> yaccin: i thought it was added already but if not theres not a good chance of it hitting gutsy
[09:33] <yaccin> hmm that means i should try opensuse
[09:33] <yaccin> because it works there
[09:33] <gnomefreak> yaccin: as i said i think it has been implmented alreday but our installer guy is gone for day afaik
[09:33] <eeyore_> heh I got it.
[09:34] <eeyore_> switching desktop effects off, the settings showed up as normal. Set 4 desktops and went back to compiz
[09:34] <eeyore_> now I have the desktops and the cube
[09:34] <yaccin> gnomefreak: who is that guy? :D
[09:34] <yaccin> because last gutsy cd i used hadnt had the option (kubuntu desktop)
[09:34] <yaccin> maybe its an alternate-cd only thingy?
[09:34] <gnomefreak> yaccin: cjwatson
[09:34] <gnomefreak> yaccin: it would be both because iirc its added to D-I
[09:35] <gnomefreak> so it should be in already since we havve latest D-I
[09:35] <yaccin> i have tribe.... uhm something... dont know :D
[09:36] <gnomefreak> yaccin: if not yet wait for next tribe and see or file a bug on it
[09:36] <gnomefreak> although i remember some already being filed on it
[09:36] <yaccin> i would enable it after installation
[09:36] <yaccin> but 1. the wiki instruction didnt work
[09:37] <yaccin> 2. i dont really know where to backup my data
[09:37] <hjmills> Killamurk07, are you paying for cedega?
[09:37] <gnomefreak> yaccin: big is best way to go you should get reply fairly fast with installer bugs
[09:38] <gnomefreak> i dont have a working list of installer bugs anymore :(
[09:38] <yaccin> hmm ok ill try to figure out where to correctly file a bug report on that :)

[09:41] <AmyRose> OK, I'm reporting bug in the Feisty --> Gutsy upgrader itself. What package should I select?
[09:44] <yaccin> :( have to register first -_-
[09:47] <yaccin> gnomefreak: whats the package name? ^^
[09:49] <gnomefreak> yaccin: for the installer?
[09:49] <gnomefreak> yaccin: try debian-installer
[09:50] <gnomefreak> that would cover desktop and alternate
[09:50] <yaccin> oh
[09:50] <Puaff> please, I'm running gutsy and I get a core dump with every apt-get upgrade, doesn't matter the package to upgrade. Maybe the problem is that the cache is broken, is it possible to rebuild it? thx
[09:50] <yaccin> i used ubiquity or whatever its called
[09:53] <Puaff> I'm begin to thing that the only solution is going to be reinstall the system
[09:54] <yaccin> anyone using kubuntu and has the broken kde4beta2 installed?
[09:56] <scizzo-> well...I got the 100.14.19 driver installed now
[09:59] <gnomefreak> yaccin: everyone
[10:00] <gnomefreak> its broken be it on your pc or anyone elses to use anything use the launch app thingy
[10:00] <gnomefreak> other wise there is no menu or much of anything else if that is what you are seeing as broken
[10:00] <yaccin> no thats not what i meant
[10:00] <yaccin> because i had a strange "bug" in kde3
[10:01] <yaccin> and i dont know whjat it caused it
[10:01] <yaccin> and how to reproduce
[10:01] <Hydrarrghgen> where do files printed to pdf end up?
[10:01] <yaccin> i did run kicker in kde4 :P
[10:01] <aguitel> anyone work with chipset Realtec 818x ?
[10:08] <scizzo-> well....the 100.14.19 driver of nvidia-glx is nice
[10:12] <baastrup> hey, im having problems with my geforce 3 ti 500, I cant get the nvidia driver op and running
[10:12] <baastrup> x crashes every time i try
[10:16] <scizzo-> baastrup: everytime you try to start X or do something in X?
[10:16] <baastrup> scizzo-, everytime i try to start x
[10:16] <baastrup> with nvidia driver not the os nv driver
[10:17] <scizzo-> baastrup: do you get any error coming up?
[10:17] <hjmills> baastrup, can you pastebin the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file please
[10:17] <jermes> baastrup, you have installed nvidia-glx ubuntu package or from envy or nvidia.com?
[10:18] <jermes> and does any body have any idea when the new nvidia driver hits the respos ?
[10:18] <tck> is gutsy stable enough for install ?
[10:18] <baastrup> jenda, used restricted manager
[10:18] <jermes> tck, depends usage and skills
[10:19] <tck> jermes, is the new gnome 2.20 integrated ?
[10:19] <jermes> tck, yep
[10:19] <tck> oh nice
[10:19] <tck> im tempted to fix my sources ;)
[10:20] <jermes> tck, if its not a production machine and you are not afraid of bugs i would install it
[10:20] <baastrup> jermes, im in x now with nv, so I have to provoke the error again, but what driver should i try with? nvidia-glx legacy, new ?
[10:20] <tck> beta is out next week, i might just wait..
[10:20] <jermes> tck, i havent have any breakages that left the machine unsuable
[10:20] <jermes> baastrup, legecy
[10:20] <baastrup> jermes, as far as i can see restricted manager installs nvidia-glx
[10:21] <jermes> e/a
[10:21] <tck> im just worried about Virtualbox, have one or two apps on winblows that i need
[10:21] <hjmills> what would I dpkg-reconfigure to change the keyboard options (including the language) for the terminal?
[10:21] <jermes> tck, i run virtualbox 1.5 everyday
[10:21] <tck> did you upgrade via Feisty or fresh install ?
[10:21] <jermes> fresh
[10:21] <tck> hmm this will be an upgrade
[10:21] <jermes> tck,  if you dist-upgrade use the update-manager
[10:21] <baastrup> jermes, so kan i just do a modprobe or do I need to reboot my system to get the new drivers op and running?
[10:22] <jermes> baastrup, you only need to restart x
[10:22] <jermes> baastrup, alt + ctrl + backslash
[10:23] <tck> backspace
[10:23] <jermes> yea, my bad
[10:24] <baastrup> jermes, oki, so I uninstall nvidia.glx install nvidia-glx-legacy, change xorg.conf to nvidia insted of nv and reload x?
[10:24] <jermes> baastrup, yes
[10:25] <baastrup> jermes, brb
[10:25] <jermes> baastrup, btw
[10:25] <jermes> baastrup, is the failesafe X tool in gutsy?
[10:25] <baastrup> jermes, yes there i
[10:25] <baastrup> is
[10:25] <jermes> :D
[10:26] <jermes> i need to break x sometime
[10:26] <baastrup> jermes, works ok, but it takes some seckonds after you clik the ok button (so you get a black screen)

[10:34] <d4rkmonkey> For some reason, I can't enable desktop effects anymore, I used to be able to and they worked fine. Anyone know how to fix this?
[10:34] <jermes> d4rkmonkey, you are fully updated?
[10:34] <scizzo-> baastrup: could you place the xorg.conf in a pastebin?
[10:34] <d4rkmonkey> jermes yeah, it only did that after a recent update
[10:34] <albert24> d4rkmonkey: Intel?
[10:35] <d4rkmonkey> albert23 yessiry
[10:35] <albert24> blacklisted
[10:35] <d4rkmonkey> ?
[10:35] <jermes> albert23, they blacklisted intel?
[10:35] <d4rkmonkey> albert23 why would they do that?
[10:35] <albert24> They blacklisted compiz on Intel, because of video problems
[10:35] <albert24> There is a workaround in launchpad
[10:35] <aguitel>  anyone work with chipset Realtec 818x ?
[10:36] <d4rkmonkey> albert23 that is retarded, because mine worked fine...

[10:39] <baastrup> jermes, the computer freezes
[10:40] <baastrup> I had to reboot
[10:40] <scizzo-> d4rkmonkey: if it is blacklisted I think it will take a long time
[10:41] <baastrup> is there anywhere where I can upload a screenshot so you can see how my screen looks?
[10:41] <d4rkmonkey> scizzo- well, it was working before the updates... so its not like its completely broken... and I'm not in *that* much of a rush to have compiz-fusion working.
[10:41] <baastrup> jermes, ?
[10:42] <scizzo-> baastrup: that is a really messy xorg.conf file
[10:46] <baastrup> jermes, maybe I should just make a bug report
[10:46] <scizzo-> you have so many modes in the config mate
[10:47] <scizzo-> if I was you I would move the xorg.conf file to a backup and then do a: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:47] <baastrup> scizzo-, displayconfig-gtk made it
[10:48] <scizzo-> http://pastebin.com/d2aae5b58
[10:48] <scizzo-> that is my xorg.conf
[10:48] <scizzo-> its also messy but still

[10:50] <unggnu> gnomefreak, Thanks, but it is only a Gutsy problem afaik
[10:50] <gnomefreak> unggnu: i know the problem
[10:50] <unggnu> Or at least only Gutsy has a for me working intel driver.
[10:51] <gnomefreak> unggnu: the people in -bugs will be more helpful sinc ethe bug is already filed
[10:51] <unggnu> albert24, strange :)
[10:51] <gnomefreak> unggnu: and yes there is a problem with the intel i810 drivers
[10:51] <unggnu> gnomefreak, There was already a bug report? I haven't found anyone.
[10:51] <gnomefreak> not just your problem
[10:51] <unggnu> gnomefreak, No, the new experimental driver, i810 works fine for me.
[10:52] <gnomefreak> unggnu: there are a bunch of intel problems in gutsy
[10:52] <unggnu> gnomefreak, you are right, sadly
[10:52] <gnomefreak> since when do we package the experimental drivers
[10:52] <unggnu> I haven't expected that Intel driver are that experimental
[10:52] <gnomefreak> unggnu: i know i am i see the bugs all day long
[10:53] <albert24> gnomefreak: Actually, I am quite happy with this experimental driver

[10:53] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 135141 in xorg "Gutsy: Intel should be preferred over 810" [High,Fix released] 
[10:53] <gnomefreak> what makes everyone think its experimental?
[10:54] <unggnu> gnomefreak, It is the name in displayconfig-gtk
[10:54] <gnomefreak> i seee nowhere does it say its unstable or experimental
[10:54] <gnomefreak> ah ok
[10:54] <gnomefreak> brb goees to look
[10:55] <gnomefreak> btw but 135141 is because the xserver-xorg-video-intel includes the 810- and many more
[10:56] <unggnu> And experimental is logical since I have two hard crash bugs since I use the new INtel driver.
[10:56] <unggnu> This one posted and the one after switching mode.
[10:57] <unggnu> But new driver has many advantages, it is not so easy :)
[10:57] <gnomefreak> unggnu: when they moved to it it sccrewed up alot im thinking because it doesnt know what driver to use atm this could be a Xorg bug more so than driver bug
[10:58] <baastrup> hmm stange
[11:00] <unggnu> It would be great if someone with current Gutsy and an Intel graphic card could check it.
[11:01] <knix> I do
[11:01] <knix> -currnet and 945gm
[11:01] <knix> What am I testing?
[11:01] <unggnu> knix, Do you use the new INtel driver or i810?
[11:02] <knix> i810
[11:02] <aguitel>  anyone work with chipset Realtec 818x ?
[11:02] <knix> unggnu: I have never tried intel
[11:02] <unggnu> knix, New intel driver is needed and this is the bug report/description https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/141063 :)
[11:02] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 141063 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "experimental Intel driver freezes system on video play after suspend" [Undecided,New] 
[11:03] <unggnu> knix, Intel has some big advantages with resolution like widescreen and xv works fine in latest Gutsy.
[11:03] <knix> What's the intel driver called?
[11:03] <knix> I have it installed
[11:03] <unggnu> knix, intel :)
[11:03] <knix> I just have i810 in my config
[11:03] <knix> haha ok
[11:03] <knix> Is this new?
[11:03] <unggnu> the name, yes
[11:04] <unggnu> In Feisty i810 was replaced through the new intel driver and vice versa.
[11:04] <knix> oh
[11:04] <knix> I must have missed that :D
[11:04] <unggnu> knix, Btw. does your suspend work fine?
[11:04] <knix> no.
[11:04] <knix> THe display doesn't come back
[11:04] <unggnu> knix, Than you can't test this :)
[11:04] <knix> It's quite annoying
[11:04] <unggnu> knix, but maybe with the new intel driver it works
[11:04] <knix> I'll try
[11:04] <unggnu> I have read something somewhere :)
[11:05] <unggnu> knix, many thanks
[11:06] <knix> I get like 300fps more in glxgears though!
[11:06] <knix> :D
[11:06] <knix> 980ish -> 1270
[11:06] <unggnu> knix, With new intel driver?
[11:06] <knix> yea
[11:06] <unggnu> Do you use a textirc?
[11:06] <knix> yes
[11:06] <unggnu> not bad
[11:06] <knix> irssi
[11:06] <unggnu> yes, forgot the name
[11:06] <knix> it may be more
[11:07] <knix> my cpu is getting hammered by nautilus for some reason
[11:07] <knix> I don't even use nautilus
[11:07] <knix> even as a desktop
[11:07] <unggnu> knix, This sometimes happen with video thumbs afaik
[11:07] <HenrikDK> Q: how can I see why my firefox keeps crashing on startup ?what is the best way to debug ?
[11:07] <knix> hmm, I think it's this new trackerd
[11:07] <unggnu> HenrikDK, check /var/crash for firefox entries
[11:08] <unggnu> HenrikDK, btw. rename .mozilla to get a new profile
[11:09] <unggnu> knix, Does suspend work?
[11:09] <knix> checking now
[11:09] <knix> nm on the fps
[11:09] <knix> trackerd was hammering the cpu, so it went to a higher clock speed
[11:09] <knix> and glxgears ran faster
[11:09] <aguitel>  anyone have problem with chipset Realtec 818x ?
[11:09] <knix> display still doesn't come back after a suspend
[11:10] <HenrikDK> unggnu, there is nothing in that folder
[11:10] <unggnu> HenrikDK, start Firefox in console to see the output
[11:10] <knix> So why should I be using intel vs i810?
[11:10] <unggnu> maybe it is not writeable
[11:10] <davmor2> Strange request.  With evolutions new mail notifier is there a way to make evolution run in the background with just the icon for access?  In a similar manner to checkgmail.
[11:10] <knix> is i810 dead?
[11:10] <knix> davmor2: I think evo is always running
[11:10] <ConstyXIV> what is with the "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" message after every apt-get now?
[11:11] <unggnu> knix, No, but i810 has problems with uncommon resolutions
[11:11] <knix> Like what?
[11:11] <unggnu> or widescreen, not tht uncommon anymore
[11:11] <unggnu> 1650x1080
[11:11] <knix> I'm using it at 1440x900
[11:11] <knix> I have to use 915resolution
[11:11] <unggnu> knix, i810 doesn't work very well with external screen
[11:11] <unggnu> knix, I know it works, but often not out of the box.
[11:11] <knix> I use an external monitor at 1680x1050
[11:11] <unggnu> knix, intel support xrandr 1.2
[11:11] <knix> it doesn't work out of the box
[11:12] <knix> ok, I'll use Intel then:D
[11:12] <unggnu> knix, Never got this to work with 1680x1050. How do you got it?
[11:12] <davmor2> knix: i810 sucks for resolution.  the new intel driver has full support for randr all the nice stuff to change graphics and stuff
[11:12] <knix> i810 works fine
[11:12] <knix> You just need to set the resolution
[11:12] <knix> I just added 1680x1050 and 1440x900 w/ 915resolution
[11:12] <unggnu> knix, doesn't help for me
[11:13] <davmor2> knix: yes but this is automatic with the intel driver
[11:13] <unggnu> But the funny thing is that 1366x768 work fine without 915resolution :)
[11:13] <knix> davmor2: excellent
[11:13] <unggnu> knix, with i810driver
[11:13] <knix> haha
[11:13] <unggnu> knix, Does suspend work?
[11:13] <knix> not on mine :(
[11:13] <knix> unggnu: no
[11:13] <knix> I mean, it works
[11:13] <knix> I suspend and resume just fine
[11:13] <knix> But my display never turns on :D
[11:14] <unggnu> knix, check /etc/default/acpi-support
[11:14] <Instabin> When i launch open arena all i get is a black screen
[11:14] <Instabin> same thing with chromium
[11:14] <davmor2> knix: You can also use the new RandR graphics config tool on intel but it doesn't work well with i810
[11:14] <HenrikDK> unggnu, I tried that... doing it as root then the firefox process just sleeps while allocating 370 kb
[11:15] <davmor2> so you can set different res's for external stuff etc
[11:15] <knix> I don't even know where this new fancy display config tool is
[11:15] <HenrikDK> but I don't get a window or something
[11:15] <knix> I saw it in some article covering Gutsy
[11:15] <knix> And I was like 'Hey, how come I don't have that'
[11:15] <unggnu> HenrikDK, root isn't needed. So you got no console output?
[11:16] <unggnu> Anyone else who could test the new intel graphic driver after suspend?
[11:17] <HenrikDK> unggnu, just trying root to see if it was corrupt profile data in my user dir... runing as user it does: present my with the strat new seesion or restore... I press strat new.  console is now freed/ended but the firefox proccces is still there sleeping
[11:17] <HenrikDK> no console output whatsoever

[11:22] <unggnu> davmor2, This is no bug, it is a feature, new apple look :-D
[11:23] <davmor2> unggnu: Trust me in xubuntu and kubuntu it is far worse
[11:23] <albert24> davmor2: I only got that during installation
[11:23] <albert24> seems related to using framebuffer
[11:24] <davmor2> albert24: did you use alternative?
[11:24] <albert24> yes
[11:24] <HenrikDK> unggnu, I think I found it... it appears to be a displaymanager-gtk issue... it has set my screen very wide and dual monitor...manually changing that and a reboot fixed it... stilll windoering why the firefox window wasn't listed in the "precess" bar at the bottom
[11:24] <davmor2> yes with alternative I got the bad bar but after that I still got the big title bars
[11:25] <wcham> How can I get fusion-icon in gutsy?
[11:26] <unggnu> displayconfig-gtk makes my xorg unusable. It shows the correct resolution in gui but saves 640x480 and a similar modeline in xorg.conf
[11:26] <albert24> davmor2: for me it was fine after the installation completed
[11:27] <albert24> davmor2: can you check with lsmod | grep fb if you have framebuffer modules loaded?
[11:27] <HenrikDK> unggnu, I used displayconfig to save 2 presents it switches between, and then I manually edited the config of those presets.
[11:27] <unggnu> HenrikDK, Does it work?
[11:27] <unggnu> xorg.conf looks so awful afterwards
[11:28] <HenrikDK> unggnu actually I made a working xorg.conf for each of the two scenarios (standalone and docked with dual screen), and then overwrote the presets in /var/lib/displayconfig-gtk/locations
[11:29] <HenrikDK> unggnu, most of the time.. It appear to pick the right preset the most of the time... dunno why it thought my screen was 2048px wide now though
[11:31] <unggnu> knix, Do you have played a bit with the values in acpi-support or checked tuxmobil.org for workarounds?
[11:31] <knix> no
[11:31] <knix> Because this is a recent problem
[11:31] <knix> Everything worked until a dist-upgrade a couple days ago
[11:32] <davmor2> albert24: no idea but I'm not work at that machine at the moment however I know that there has been a lot of work to try and solve the problem. I have done some work with Bryce to resolve the situation.
[11:33] <albert24> davmor2: You could try and start your system with boot option fb=false. Then try to use the intel driver. That works for me in the installer.
[11:33] <davmor2> albert24: I will probably use it next when I iso test for the beta.  My laptop is the only 32bit machine I have
[11:35] <davmor2> albert24: Yes that stopped the line break up for me but it didn't stop the huge title bar that issue only went away when I changed driver
[11:37] <benh> hi folks !
[11:37] <benh> something weirdo's going on with gutsy's initrd on this powerbook
[11:37] <benh> it doesn't seem to load the modules and then waits forever for a root
[11:37] <albert24> I see. I have never had that title bar problem, but I have 965, not 945
[11:37] <benh> boots fine with the old kernel+initrd
[11:38] <benh> the initrd itself seems to contain all the appropriate modules, but that's a quick look based on it's size, I'll have to crack it open to verify
[11:39] <benh> if nobody has any idea about what's wrong, then I'll dig myself this week-end
[11:40] <ed1t> when is the release date for gutsy gibbon?
[11:41] <davmor2> albert24: it turns out that it is a 950 and is not recognised correctly.  full spec is here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00797501&lc=en&cc=uk&dlc=en&product=3318980&rule=39074&lang=en
[11:41] <tormod> ed1t: see topic
[11:42] <davmor2> myself and bryce think that maybe what is causing the problem
[11:48] <gnomefreak> albert24: davmor2 lot of issues with intel drivers atm with them not being recognized correctly
[11:48] <albert24> davmor2: check this, you do have 945  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA#GMA_950
[11:49] <albert24> just like my graphics is x3100
[11:49] <gnomefreak> and to think intel was the safe choice :)
[11:49] <d4rkmonkey> GAH!
[11:49] <albert24> gnomefreak: except for the installation, I don't have any problem with Intel. Running Compiz and even movies go fine
[11:50] <d4rkmonkey> Nautilus keeps on adding Music, Pictures, Videos, and Desktop to my places, even though I delte them every time. How can I delete that?
[11:50] <gnomefreak> albert24: lots of bugs on intel drivers atm atleast from what ive seen
[11:50] <d4rkmonkey> *stop that
[11:50] <d4rkmonkey> *delete
[11:50] <gnomefreak> d4rkmonkey: gconfig-editor should have setting
[11:51] <d4rkmonkey> gnomefreak ok.
[11:51] <gnomefreak> d4rkmonkey: problem is that with each gnome upate it might reset itself
[11:51] <gnomefreak> *might*
[11:51] <gnomefreak> i kind of like having a couple of them it saves me from making them
[11:51] <d4rkmonkey> gnomefreak arg... I think it did actually start after recent update... is gconfig-editor gconf or something like that?
[11:51] <davmor2> gnomefreak: :)
[11:52] <d4rkmonkey> gnomefreak errr... geconf-editor?
[11:52] <gnomefreak> d4rkmonkey: gconfig-editor iirc
[11:52] <d4rkmonkey> gnomefreak gconfig-editor doesn't work... there is a gconf-editor though, and I''ll assume thats it.
[11:52] <gnomefreak> but dont qoute me on that i havent had to run it since dapper/edgy
[11:52] <gnomefreak> d4rkmonkey: thats it
[11:52] <gnomefreak> sorry
[11:53] <davmor2> gconf-editor
[11:53] <d4rkmonkey> gnomefreak no problem
[11:54] <kal> glade 3.4 is out... will it be part of gutsy ? :)
[11:54] <d4rkmonkey> Also, the "Quit..." applet on my panel looks like a retarded running green guy, was that because of recent updates? its on the same theme as it was before.
[11:54] <IntuitiveNipple> d4rkmonkey: Thats part of the gnome-icon-theme update
[11:54] <davmor2> d4rkmonkey: It is built into the ubuntu desktop meta package I think so any time that package gets updated the folder will be back sorry.
[11:55] <d4rkmonkey> IntuitiveNipple any idea how I can change it back to the power button? because I hate the green guy.
[11:55] <d4rkmonkey> davmor2 ok.
[11:56] <IntuitiveNipple> d4rkmonkey: downgrade to the previous version of gnome-icon-theme
[11:57] <d4rkmonkey> IntuitiveNipple no other way? arg...
[11:57] <IntuitiveNipple> Several of the icons have changed, I noticed (Synaptics is one)
[11:57] <Instabin> my dvd drive is not mounting disk when i insert them
[11:57] <d4rkmonkey> IntuitiveNipple the power one is the only one that bugs me...
[11:58] <d4rkmonkey> Instabin what does it say about your drive when you run lshw ?
[11:58] <davmor2> d4rkmonkey: It'll change with the next batch of updates
[11:58] <IntuitiveNipple> d4rkmonkey: Change the icons in /usr/share/icons/gnome/*/actions/*system-log-out.*
[11:59] <d4rkmonkey> IntuitiveNipple gah... too much work, whatever.
[11:59] <Instabin> d4rkmonkey: it syas logical name /dev/hdc
[12:00] <IntuitiveNipple> lazy bleeder :)
[12:00] <d4rkmonkey> Instabin try manually mounting /dev/hdc ? atleast then you can see if its atleast properly reading disks?
[12:00] <Instabin> d4rkmonkey: yes that works why is auto mount not working?
[12:01] <d4rkmonkey> Instabin I'm not sure... do USB drives and that kind of thing auto mount properly?
[12:01] <IntuitiveNipple> d4rkmonkey: The other gnome-icon-theme packages are here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gnome-icon-theme/
[12:02] <d4rkmonkey> Instabin but, I like the new icons... except for the power button lol
[12:02] <Instabin> d4rkmonkey: yea my usb drive wont auto mount either
[12:02] <albert24> d4rkmonkey: the log-out icon will be reversed in next update: Revert usage of new icon name for logout: it breaks some icon themes.
[12:03] <davmor2> Instabin; What type of disc is it?
[12:03] <d4rkmonkey> albert23 mk...
[12:04] <d4rkmonkey> Instabin maybe it got turned off or something? If nothing will auto mount, its not an issue with an optical drive.. I don't know much about auto-mounting, I just know it works for me, I'm sorry I can't help you more.
[12:04] <davmor2> instabin: what type of disc is it? audio/dvd or data
[12:05] <IntuitiveNipple> Instabin: System > Preferences > Removable Drives and Media

[12:10] <ShackJack> (Because it's happening on two fresh gutsy installs on different computers I'm inclined to think it's an issue with the distro - or an amazing coincidence ;))
[12:13] <ReL1K> ah shit....theres some compiz and xorg updates
[12:13] <ReL1K> anyone having problems with it?
[12:13] <ShackJack> ReL1K: Not me - new nvidia-glx restricted modules update fixed my driver - yay!
[12:14] <ShackJack> (and watch your mouth :))

[12:19] <VousDeux> does anyone know if there is a generic touchpad driver that might work better than the 'synaptics' driver?

[12:24] <davmor2> Fracture: you need to install Virtualbox from innotek website
[12:24] <ShackJack> Fracture: YOu can you the feisty repo of virtualbox on gutsy - works fine...
[12:24] <davmor2> ShackJack: is auto-mount drives checked?
[12:25] <Fracture> ShackJack, davmor2:  taa, I have the innotek repo setup for fiesty, and was just curious what the deal was for gutsy
[12:25] <ShackJack> davmor2: Yes it is - I wasn't sure if you were asking me to toggle or something...
[12:25] <davmor2> no
[12:25] <ShackJack> Fracture: Their feisty repo works flawlessly with my gutsy...
[12:25] <davmor2> ShackJack: what does autoopen line read as
[12:25] <Fracture> ShackJack: excellent
[12:26] <IntuitiveNipple> ShackJack: first thing I'd check is problems with fstab, second I'd look at the Udev rules (checking the logs carefully when attaching devices, and the udev scripts)
[12:26] <ReL1K> anyone know where the latest bug tracker is for the intel and compiz issues? found i tearlier, fix worked
[12:26] <ShackJack> davmor2: autoopen is not checked and autoopen_path is .autoopen:autoopen
[12:27] <davmor2> no idea then
[12:27] <d4rkmonkey> arg, I want the new artwork! package isn't ready for install or something, but it shows up in update-manager
[12:28] <ShackJack> IntuitiveNipple: Will check it out - I don't think fstab lists anything specific pertaining to USB devices... I have a manual entry to mount a USB ext HD - which shows as mounted in "mount" but not as a drive on Desktop on Computer...
[12:29] <VousDeux> I guess I'm gonna try this qsynaptics...I'm getting nowhere otherwise.

[12:30] <ShackJack> IntuitiveNipple: Oh wait, I think I might see the problem - entry made for vbox to be able to mount the USB stuff might be interfering:  none     /proc/bus/usb   usbfs   devgid=1001,devmode=666         0       0
[12:30] <ShackJack> 
[12:31] <IntuitiveNipple> ShackJack: :p
[12:31] <IntuitiveNipple> computers would be fine without users :D
[12:32] <ShackJack> IntuitiveNipple: How do suggest I alter? Just add devgid=1000 in addition?
[12:33] <IntuitiveNipple> First off, try commenting that out and see if it solves the issue, then if it does, find a workaround that allows both to co-exist
[12:34] <ShackJack> IntuitiveNipple: O.K. THanks -- fstab didn't occur to me off the bat... Was following a suggest to get VBox to be able to mount host USB devices...
[12:34] <IntuitiveNipple> It's amazing how the smallest config changes can have large knock-on effects
[12:34] <ShackJack> Vbox works great, at any rate - even on my P4 2,4 GHZ...  I have a little icon for Windows which launches it with one click...
[12:35] <ShackJack> O.K. Logging out - brb :)
[12:36] <IntuitiveNipple> I just wrote a tool to enable hardware VT on this Vaio/Phoenix BIOS laptop that doesn't allow user to enable VT, and now I'm using kvm/qemu and it is very good

[12:37] <HenrikDK> How do i get terminal based programs to use gnome proxy settings when I have a proxy.pac file (automatic config url) ?
[12:37] <benh> console switch to console works, back to X , it locks up
[12:37] <petal> since my upgrade to gutsy, both hibernate & suspend are broken. Worked in Feisty. Is it worth it to try and debug or should I just wait until it magically fixes itself by an incoming update?
[12:37] <benh> and cursor has busted endianness it seems
[12:37] <benh> hrm... more work for me debugging all of that next week it seems
[12:37] <larsemil> petal: you did apt update? that solved it for me after fresh install
[12:38] <petal> larsemil: I'm on my fourth dist-upgrade now - No fresh install for more than 2 years! ;)
[12:38] <Drizzt321> I just did a recent update running gutsy, and for some reason my synaptics track pad no longer does the scrolling. Did something break?
[12:38] <contrast83> Is anyone having trouble running Compiz? It was working fine; I just updated and rebooted and now it won't start.
[12:38] <larsemil> petal: haha then its about time. >P
[12:39] <larsemil> Drizzt321: system > settings> mouse
[12:39] <larsemil> contrast83: yes me. its seems to be something with the ati driver
[12:39] <Drizzt321> larsemil: ahhh..ok. thanks. I'm used to doing that setup manually.
[12:40] <larsemil> Drizzt321: well thats new. :P
[12:40] <Drizzt321> lol
[12:40] <Drizzt321> ok
[12:40] <d4rkmonkey> what is the current version of gnome in the updates?
[12:40] <Drizzt321> I also noticed that qsynaptics/gsynaptics don't work because the driver isn't loaded/Xorg config isn't setup properly
[12:40] <larsemil> d4rkmonkey: 2.20
[12:40] <d4rkmonkey> larsemil k, just checking. Thanks
[12:40] <contrast83> larsemil: That was recently updated?
[12:40] <contrast83> e.g., within the past day?
[12:41] <petal> larsemil: Damn, I just upgraded this afternoon & now there are more than 60MBs of updates again...
[12:41] <petal> larsemil: I'll have a look if it works afterwards...
[12:41] <ReL1K> fixed compiz, had to edit my /usr/bin/compiz config file and comment out the T= # intel965
[12:41] <Drizzt321> heh, yea, tell me about it petal
[12:41] <albert24> contrast83: Compiz on intel was switched of yesterday. What graphics do you have?
[12:42] <contrast83> albert24: ATI Radeon M6 Mobility
[12:42] <ReL1K> contrast83: been having a lot of issues with compiz and intel
[12:42] <SpudDogg> I have a major problem:  I had an IDE drive in my desktop dual-booting Ubuntu Feisty/Winblows.  Now, I installed a SATA drive and tried to install gutsy to it.  I keep getting grub error 17"Cannot mount selected partition".  Please help!
[12:42] <SpudDogg> I'm running BOTH drives, by the way
[12:42] <ReL1K> contrast83:  to get it to work i nano'd /usr/bin/compiz and commented out the T= line that has the # Intel 965 comment in the row
[12:42] <larsemil> contrast83: yes and i have also a ati radeon card.
[12:43] <albert24> contrast83: as far as I know, compiz on ATI was switched of earlier
[12:43] <Drizzt321> SpudDogg: most likely it means that the order in which the devices were enumerated has changed
[12:43] <Drizzt321> SpudDogg: basically, was the ide drive being mounted has an hd, or an sd device?
[12:43] <contrast83> Sorry, switched?
[12:43] <SpudDogg> Drizzt321, well, I can't even boot from either HDD now
[12:44] <Drizzt321> SpudDogg: right
[12:44] <larsemil> albert24: it was just for 24 hours
[12:44] <SpudDogg> grub gives me the error and hangs...no menu
[12:44] <larsemil> contrast83: hmm new packages again. will download and try
[12:44] <Drizzt321> yea, thats because grub is trying to pull from a wrong disk/partition
[12:44] <ReL1K> new package i just tried broke compiz
[12:44] <ReL1K> on intel
[12:45] <Drizzt321> SpudDogg: its the order in which your disks are being detected and enumerated
[12:45] <SpudDogg> Drizzt321, how do i go about changing that?
[12:45] <Drizzt321> SpudDogg: try pulling off the sata disk, it should boot then
[12:45] <Drizzt321> SpudDogg: then check what device the ide drive is set as
[12:45] <SpudDogg> Drizzt321, i tried that, then i get grub error 21
[12:46] <Drizzt321> oh
[12:46] <albert24> larsemil: changelog says ATI was blacklisted 13 Sept.
[12:46] <Drizzt321> hrm
[12:46] <Drizzt321> I'm kind of stumped them :( sorry
[12:46] <SpudDogg> Drizzt321,  could it be that i have 2 installs, both with /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[12:46] <larsemil> albert24: ok. well i removed the blacklist manually and did not bother putting it back. read on the forums that it was just one day thingy so i might be wrong
[12:47] <Drizzt321> SpudDogg: possible, but if only 1 drive is in, I doubt it
[12:47] <SpudDogg> Drizzt321, also, do you know how to look at/edit the mbr on hd0?
[12:48] <Drizzt321> SpudDogg: ah...using the grub-install script/program
[12:48] <Drizzt321> SpudDogg: otherwise, I wouldn't dare manipulating it byte by byte
[12:48] <SpudDogg> Drizzt321, arrrgh that program.  everything i try gives me the error "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device."
[12:49] <Drizzt321> oy
[12:49] <SpudDogg> Drizzt321, but i can mount and use both drives just fine via live cd
[12:49] <Drizzt321> do both drives have a /boot?
[12:49] <larsemil> contrast83: no luck there
[12:49] <SpudDogg> Drizzt321, yea, they do...
[12:49] <Drizzt321> thats good
[12:49] <Drizzt321> ok, what you probably need to do is chroot to one of the drives
[12:49] <Drizzt321> and run the installer from there
[12:50] <Drizzt321> so it'll be on the right drive
[12:50] <SpudDogg> ahh, yes
[12:50] <SpudDogg> just one thing:  how do i do that...never done it
[12:50] <hjmills> SpudDogg, I get that error when the mtab isnt right - if you are inside a chroot then grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab
[12:50] <contrast83> larsemil: i'm about to downgrade to the old ati driver, i'm pretty sure that's the problem...
[12:50] <contrast83> i should just need to restart x after doing that, right?
[12:51] <contrast83> i.e., not reboot
[12:51] <hjmills> SpudDogg, chroot into the drive, use that command to make the mtab then sudo grub-install /dev/hda (or whatever) should work
[12:51] <larsemil> contrast83: could also be the new x that came
[12:51] <larsemil> but you go ahead and try and tell me later
[12:51] <SpudDogg> hjmills, what's the command to chroot though?
[12:51] <larsemil> contrast83: yes only X
[12:51] <contrast83> cool, brb
[12:51] <larsemil> SpudDogg: chroot
[12:51] <SpudDogg> i know 'chroot' but can you give me an example?
[12:51] <hjmills> SpudDogg, chroot <path/to/new/root> </path/to/shell>
[12:51] <hjmills> SpudDogg, e.g. chroot /mnt/ubuntu /bin/bash
[12:52] <larsemil> sudo chroot /media/disk /bin/bash
[12:52] <hjmills> SpudDogg, as root
[12:52] <SpudDogg> ahh, thanks
[12:52] <hjmills> SpudDogg, pure luck i saw it when I came to close xchat - good luck :)
[12:53] <SpudDogg> thanks, but i get the same error
[12:53] <hjmills> SpudDogg, even after using "grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab" as root?
[12:54] <SpudDogg> hjmills, Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[12:54] <hjmills> SpudDogg, thats how I did it when I debootstrapped a system and that was the error I was getting
[12:54] <SpudDogg> hjmills, sorry, the error is grep: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory
[12:54] <contrast83> larsemil: That got it for me. I had to download the driver from here (Synaptic wasn't recognizing it as a seperately available version) - http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-ati/xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.6.193-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
[12:54] <hjmills> SpudDogg, are you using sudo or root for this?
[12:54] <SpudDogg> sudo
[12:55] <ShackJack> ReL1K: Compiz update broke my eye-candy too :P
[12:55] <contrast83> ShackJack: What card?
[12:55] <larsemil> ShackJack: ati driver is not working.
[12:55] <hjmills> SpudDogg, ahh, sorry, exit the chroot (command = exit) and mount proc (command = mount -t proc none /mnt/ubuntu/proc) and dev (Command = mount -o bind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev) assuming /mnt/ubuntu is where you mounted the drive
[12:56] <larsemil> brb will try now then
[12:56] <ShackJack> contrast83: Nvidia 7800GS... Driver's fine - not compiz :)
[12:56] <contrast83> Oh ok. I compile CF from GIT, it's working fine on my other comp (nVidia 7600 GS)
[12:57] <ShackJack> IntuitiveNipple: Thanks for tip on fstab, but alas, no change - thought for sure that was it... Will try some other troubleshooting...
[12:57] <hjmills> SpudDogg, then re enter the chroot with the same command as before and re do the grep -v rootfs line to make the mtab then grub-install
[12:57] <larsemil> contrast83: that solved it for me as well
[12:58] <SpudDogg> hjmills, arrgh.  the dev command gives mount: can't find /mnt/old/dev in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[12:58] <contrast83> larsemil: Cool
[12:59] <hjmills> SpudDogg, where is the drive mounted? /mnt/old?
[12:59] <SpudDogg> correct
[12:59] <SpudDogg> hjmills, correct
[12:59] <hjmills> SpudDogg, then use sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/old/dev
[12:59] <SpudDogg> hjmills, ok, that worked. now for the chroot

[01:02] <SpudDogg> hjmills, i have feisty on an ide drive, and im trying to get grub to boot my gutsy install on the SATA drive
[01:03] <contrast83> Do you all use aptitude or apt-get?
[01:03] <hjmills> SpudDogg, is that as well as booting feisty on the ide?
[01:03] <Pici> I prefer aptitude
[01:03] <hjmills> contrast83, whichever I type first, normally apt-get
[01:03] <SpudDogg> hjmills, yes.  i should tell you i also have an XP install on that IDE drive
[01:03] <hjmills> SpudDogg, so you want to have 3 options in your boot menu, Feisty, Gutsy and XP?
[01:03] <SpudDogg> hjmills, correct
[01:03] <contrast83> I just started using aptitude yesterday. I'm already seeing some of its advantages.
[01:04] <SpudDogg> hjmills, works or not, thank you very much for your time
[01:04] <hjmills> SpudDogg, what os (feisty or gutsy) is on /mnt/old?
[01:04] <SpudDogg> hjmills, feisty is /mnt/old
[01:05] <hjmills> SpudDogg, ok, then run sudo grub-install /dev/hda from inside the chroot (if you have done this then thats fine)
[01:05] <SpudDogg> hjmills, yea, i did that.  should i do it again or reboot now?
[01:05] <hjmills> SpudDogg, then can you pastebin the /boot/grub/menu.lst file from inside the chroot (or the one in /mnt/old/boot/grub/menu.lst)
[01:06] <hjmills> SpudDogg, no need to repeat
[01:06] <hjmills> SpudDogg, you need to do more before you repeat

[01:06] <hjmills> SpudDogg, can you also pastebin the output from sudo fdisk -l
[01:06] <contrast83> Well, I'm out. Peace, y'all.
[01:06] <hjmills> contrast83, ciao
[01:08] <VousDeux> Okay, that didn't help. I tried qsynaptics and using the xfree86 driver. In both cases it still tells me that shared memory is inaccessible.

It's so obvious!!! Is there a downloadable "plugin" that will do that? I tried google but I don't get any answers. I just want a button to click on and then an empty menu where I can put stuff in. And not like that sticky drawer thingy that sticks to the sc
[01:12] <hjmills> SpudDogg, thanks
[01:14] <SpudDogg> hjmills, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37956/
[01:17] <SpudDogg> hjmills, would this be easier for you if you could just ssh in to my computer?  don't worry there are some passwords, but they're crap anyway
[01:17] <hjmills> SpudDogg, if you have a static IP
[01:17] <hjmills> SpudDogg, but I think I am almost done anyway
[01:17] <hjmills> SpudDogg, you want to boot gutsy by default?
[01:17] <SpudDogg> hjmills, it hasn't changed it like a year :)  ok, whichever way you think.  thanks again
[01:18] <SpudDogg> hjmills, yea, i think so...gutsy by default is fine
[01:19] <hjmills> SpudDogg, ok, now run the following command inside the chroot: sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.bak
[01:19] <hjmills> SpudDogg, then gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:20] <hjmills> SpudDogg, and just copy and paste this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37957/ in over the top as a replacement
