no0ticnew ATI drivers support aiglx, do you think it's a good thing to advise users to try them?03:33
no0tic(I'm op on -it)03:36
tonyyarussono0tic: "Depends"03:37
tonyyarussono0tic: First, always make sure they understand that fglrx is a closed-source driver, and as such not at all guaranteed nor supported, in addition to personal preference.03:38
no0tictonyyarusso, well, fglrx restricted-modules in ubuntu repository are the same, only a previous release.. or not?03:39
tonyyarussono0tic: Second, make sure their card actually is supported.  For instance, I have an ATI Radeon Mobility X300, and the 8.42 driver still doesn't help me.03:39
tonyyarussono0tic: that's correct03:39
tonyyarussono0tic: Third, installing things from outside the repos can make it difficult to control upgradability depending on how it's done, and is a potential security risk.  If they trust ATI, fine.03:40
no0tictonyyarusso, yes.. they have to reinstall them at every single kernel build upgrade03:41
no0tictonyyarusso, so, it's better to let them now these points and then let them decide03:42

PriceChildtrypglyph, the average user doesn't "just" find it.12:21
trypglyphI've known about this place for quite some time.12:21
trypglyphI'm not the average user. I've told you this before, I'll say it again, I'm old.12:21
Myrtti/me has her doubts12:21

trypglyphMyrtti, that's fine my finnish female friend (alliteration), but I just happen to rotate aliases frequently.12:21

PiciAnyway.  KI4IKL pm'd me last night with this, I'm not sure what our policy is on this stuff12:24
PriceChildAha now it makes sense, hi adriyel.12:24
Pici23:13 <KI4IKL|LAPTOP> hey, if you are there. my friend desertc started a group called ubuntu-students and I have created the irc channel for it. Is there anyway you could put something about it int he topic? we just want anyone that is interested in supporting students using ubuntu... we have a launchpad group and a wiki page ...no problem if youw oudn't want to do that, but I thought I would go ahead and ask.12:24
trypglyphanyway, I know most of the oldies here. It's irrelevant. I'm here because I luf you people.12:24
trypglyphPriceChild, Hi.12:24
PriceChildtrypglyph, This channel is for operator/abuse questions only. You can also see from the topic that the council (of which I have a seat on) reserve the right to remove idlers from the channel. During these days/weeks around a release especially, very sensitive material can be passed through this channel. At this time especially we do not want such important information compromised by randomers.... especially those12:27
PriceChild that have a history of trolling and who have been removed/banned from this or other #ubuntu channels previously.12:27
trypglyphPriceChild, you *really* don't like me do you? (Glances at other idlers casually)12:29
trypglyphwell, I was going to give you a hug, but you can fuh-gedda-bout-it now buddy.12:29
PriceChildtrypglyph, me liking you doesn't come into it... you have a "history" here already.12:29
PriceChildtrypglyph, from the other idlers, I only see one other that I don't know.12:30
jpatrickme?12:30
jpatrick;)12:30
* rob wonders if anyone really thought this place was a big secret in the first place12:30
trypglyphI like that he volunteers. it shows enthusiasm.12:30
PriceChildjpatrick, your cloak absolves you of most sins.12:30
trypglyphrob, why do you think I was surprised?12:30
PiciI think he was referring to solid_liq12:30
robtrypglyph, exactly12:30
PriceChildrob, well unless you scour the wiki, or are pointed to it by someone who's already been (an operator or troll) then you won't know about it.12:30
trypglyphrob, it's a public channel. *shrugs*12:31
PriceChildor if you msg the bot an edit request of course.12:31
robPriceChild, considering just about all of the big channels have a -ops, its not that hard to figure out12:31
PriceChildrob, Yes... but people don't "just" join, and our bantracker shows several removes/bans on him from this channel and others.12:31
robPriceChild, and considering it is not +s, a channel search will bring it up12:32
Pici^ Just on the nicks we know about12:32
PriceChildrob, purposefully.12:32
PriceChildtrypglyph, Do you have any further business here?12:32
trypglyphPici, he doesn't need help. I've never needed to shell around, the nicks anyone who bothers to research would know about are all that there are.12:32
Myrtti/me is puzzled12:32
trypglyphPriceChild, you are free to do as you wish, but given that your justification for this is spurious at best, I'll regard this as an act of spite.12:32
Myrttithis isn't a op/staff fan channel12:33
PriceChildtrypglyph, I think I gave very good reasoning above.12:33
trypglyphNot really. It's a public channel. PM is for sensitive subjects.12:33
trypglyphthere are plenty of non-ops here.12:33
robPriceChild, plus there are better more secret channels then this :P12:33
PriceChildtrypglyph, however they are either bots, ops in channels related or ubuntu members.12:33
trypglyphIt's difficult to inspire cooperation in people you behave spitefully towards. Just so you know.12:34
trypglyphI was here on a friendly tone, you chose to take it to this.12:34
PriceChildtrypglyph, when I see you contributing, and value your input into the community, I might brush over your past.12:34
MyrttiI really thought this wasn't an op/staff fanboy channel12:34
trypglyphWhat you think of me is mostly irrelevant PriceChild, I've made my contributions and have in the past contributed hundreds and hundreds of man-hours of debugging and end-user support.12:35
Myrttiand what does that have to do with #ubuntu IRC channels?12:35
trypglyphYour opinions shouldn't weigh into your decisions. I've made no offense.12:35
trypglyphMyrtti, I was responding to something he said in context.12:35
Myrttiso?12:35
PriceChildtrypglyph, What I think of you is most important actually. And do I really think you'd spend all that time and waste it by trolling?12:35
trypglyphyou can't invalidate that statement of fact when I was responding to a qualitative remark on his part.12:36
trypglyphPriceChild, I was planning on mostly idling. Or idly chatting.12:36
Myrttifor your information, trypglyph12:36
trypglyphYou're making assumptions inspired by spite, please stop.12:36
Myrtti1) this isn't a channel for idling12:36
Myrtti2) this isn't a channel for chatting12:37
* trypglyph smacks forehead12:37
Myrtti3) this isn't a channel for other purposes than op/staff/IRC channel usage reports and such12:37
trypglyphOk, listen. You guys have the right and power to do what you will, yeah yeah, I know that. I'm just perturbed by his abundance of spite.12:37
trypglyphWe've beaten the horse into small molecular bits, either remove or don't. I'll know your reasoning anyway.12:38
Myrttitrypglyph: how about you try to relax a bit and remember that stubborness doesn't really raise sympathy12:38
PriceChildtrypglyph, do you accept you have a history on our bantracker for trolling etc. ?12:38
trypglyphI'm not being stubborn, I'm saying that I'm not challenging your authority.12:38
trypglyphI'm just questioning rationale on PriceChild's part. He's being reactive and spiteful.12:38
Myrttitrypglyph: by being here you seem to12:38
trypglyphI've acknowledged your right to remove me multiple times.12:39
PriceChildtrypglyph, I'd much rather you left of your own accord.12:39
PriceChildtrypglyph, do you accept you have a history on our bantracker for trolling etc. ?12:39
Myrttitrypglyph: and we'd really appreciate if you'd use the /part yoruself12:39

Myrttithank you.12:39

ubotuIn ubotu, nanonyme said: DynamicTwinViw is The XRandR X extension is not presently aware of multiple display devices on a single X screen; it only sees the MetaMode bounding box, which may contain one or more actual modes. This means that if multiple MetaModes have the same bounding box, XRandR will not be able to distinguish between them. This behavior can be disabled by setting the X configuration option "DynamicTwinView" to FALSE.16:08

Piciugh20:23
jdongthis is not the first time that this particular person has posted unsafe/nonrecommended solutions to Planet before.20:24
Seveaswithout even seeing the content I think I can guess the author20:28
SeveasStephan Hermann?20:28
Seveasjdong, am I correct?20:28
jdongSeveas: lol, no20:28
jdongChrister Edwards20:28
Seveasheh20:29
PiciOh. I thought it was that Dennis Kaarsemaker fellow20:29
jdong"I don’t think there are many huge changes between the two, and I have not seen a loss of other functionality"20:29
jdongboy, that's a DEEP understanding of the page-long changelog between the kernels.20:29
PiciI dont pretend to know what the difference is, but there sure is a lot of stuff there.20:30
jdongPici: likewise, not to mention you will be skipping out on future bugfix and stability updates to the kernel20:30
Seveasjdong, the page long changelog of a kernel version is usually exactly that: not much end-user visible changes20:31
SeveasWHICH IS GOOD20:31
PiciI usually scan the changes, seeing if anything pops out at me. But there has to be something there that breaks suspend for him.  To me downgrading isnt a solution.20:31
jdongSeveas: IIRC a lot of important stuff happened between 12 to 1420:31
Seveasjdong, I don't say it's not important20:31
Seveasbtw, still haven't read the post :)20:32
jdonga lot of ACPI and Intel video stuff went on in 13.... lots of culprits to chase down20:34
jdongbut as a person on Planet he should be exemplifying the proper spirit of investigating these changes, not forcing an unsupported kernel on with potentially faulty GRUB configs...20:34
jdongthat's what the forum HOWTO reject queue is for.20:34
jdong  * Don't lose appletouch button release events20:35
jdongpfft, not like that's iportant for macbooks.20:35
jdongwho needs touchpad button release events anyway20:35
Picijdong: You do need to remember that we still have Alberto Milone  (spelling?) 'pushing' envy on the planet.20:35
popeygrrrr20:36
jdongwe do indeed20:36
popeyi would lay money down that a _significant_ portion of people who voted "my upgrade failed" on the forums was down to envy20:36
popeywe have had people in #ubuntu-uk complaining that "gutsy broke" their system20:36
Seeker`what is envy?20:37
Pici!envy | Seeker` 20:37
ubotuSeeker`: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!20:37
* popey gets down off his high horse20:37
jdongSeeker`: video driver upgrade script20:37
Seeker`ah, ok20:37
popey"""""helper""""" script20:37
jdongpopey: the people who used envy would probably have tried to manually install updated drivers if the tool weren't available20:37
jdongpopey: envy's a symptom, not the root cause of the problem20:37
tonyyarussopopey: Well, it broke a few things for me as well, with no envy or anything else.  It broke pretty badly on an upgrade, so I did a completely clean vanilla install, and that's broken too.20:37
popeyif envy did the right thing - downloaded the binary driver and then made a .deb out of it, at least you could easily manage it20:38
jdongpopey: truthfully 90% of the problem is our linux-restricted-modules packaging infrastructure is not modular and does NOT like kernel modules installed externally from it20:38
jdonglrm should detect not to override a kernel module when one already exists in /lib/modules/`uname -r`20:38
popeytonyyarusso: I'm not saying _all_ broken upgrades are down to envy20:38
popeymerely suggesting that it doesn't help20:39
tonyyarussogotcha20:39
popeyI have no evidence to prove it of course20:39
* popey feeds more wild speculation into the channel20:39
jdongpopey: as is true with most upgrade breakages...20:39
jdongI haven't really examined the source code of envy...20:39
jdongpopey: but I have heard that the author and mvo worked out an uninstall API20:39
jdongthat update-manager can call to deactivate envy20:40
jdongat least envy shows some signs of cooperation with Ubuntu.20:40
PiciI know apport ignores crashes if the user has installed automatix, I wonder if it does the same with envy.20:40
