knixYou think everyone in this channel is a developer?01:18
bazhangjust kidding; the topic is not for non-developers :}01:18

bazhangHobbsee: thanks! nice to see (read) you! :}01:44

Hobbseeah, that's it01:47
Hobbseei always get that wrong, for some reason01:47

* BaD_CrC thinks dist-upgrade is gonna happen in the next couple days...02:31
bazhangwow!02:32
silentis anyone here actually running hardy?02:38
bazhangonly the very brave--don't think there is anything in the repos yet, or are there even any repos?02:39
bazhangI had heard the rumour of 11/29 for Tribe 1, but that is salt-grain, etc.02:40
silentbazhang, I'll give it  a few months02:43
silentbazhang, gutsy is pretty epic02:43
bazhangagreed. on both points. though maybe a wee test here.. :}02:44
* nrp is running what there is of hardy02:44
bazhangwhoa.. :}02:45
silentjust judging by the improvements between feisty and gutsy.... we should see a very nice OS out of hardy02:45
bazhangsilent: I can't imagine where they could go from here--Gutsy is just so good.02:45
nrpas of yet, its a newer gnu toolchain02:45
bazhangsay that three times fast02:45
bazhang:}02:46
nrphrm, gutsy is nice, but far from perfect :p02:46
silentbazhang, I imagine they would do tweaking, more options, perhaps more gui configuration options, make it more user-friendly as a major goal since it's being distributed with computers now02:46
silentto the general public02:46
silentit'll be like windows, but wont crash, like os x but not gay... it will be.. ubuntu02:46
bazhanggood point silent; and since it is an LTS, probably make sure c-f works.02:47
* nrp just wants 2.6.23 as soon as possible02:47
silent*like windows in that it's highly configurable through gui02:47
silentwhew02:47
bazhangbut aren't the odd numbered kernels unstable?02:47
nrpthat was odd second digit, but they dont do that anymore02:48
bazhangoh. ok02:48
silenti'm running 2.6.24-rc102:49
bazhangbleeding edge02:49
silent:(02:49
nrp24 is already at rc1?02:49
silentapparently02:49
silentI'm not running it though02:49
nrpoh, heh02:50
silentI wish... I'd inject my system full of Linus02:50
silentand other random european developers whom I'm sure have very large bears02:50
silentbeards*02:50
silentand I bow to them02:50
bazhang#hardy-offtopic?02:51
bazhang:}02:51
silentI need to learn how to do kernel patches02:52
bazhangnrp: how does one get hardy stuff?02:52
bazhangerr packages02:53
silentbazhang, I doubt the repos are complete02:53
bazhangdo they even exist?02:53
nrpedit /etc/apt/sources.list and find and replace gutsy with hardy02:53
silentprobably not yet, haven't checked my local mirror02:53
nrpthen apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade02:54
bazhangso sudo dist-upgrade won't work yet?02:54
silentnrp, will that actually do anything?02:54
nrpitll give you a newer gnu toolchain, which is what is being used to compile the rest of hardy :p02:55
bazhangI suddenly understand the topic.02:55
silentare the gnome preferences for tab size located somewhere else?02:55
nrpbut i imagine as the development summit approaches, real new packages will appear02:55
silentwindow list right click -> preferences02:55
silentthere's supposed to be another tab02:56
silentdid ubuntu move the menu somewhere else to confuse me?02:56
nrptab size?02:56
silentclick help02:56
silentthere are supposed to be 2 tabs02:56
silentthere were before at some point02:56
nrphelp in what?02:57
silentwindow list preferences02:57
silentTo configure Window List, right-click on the handle on the left of the buttons, then choose Preferences. The Window List Preferences dialog contains two tabbed sections.02:57
silent    * 4.9.5.2.1. Behavior02:57
silent    * 4.9.5.2.2. Size02:57
nrpoh, hmm, i see what you mean02:57
silentdo you know if that dialogue was moved somewhere or did gnome fail on their latest release?02:58
silentthere's also supposed to be an option to create new keyboard shortcuts in the keyboard shortcut menu02:59
Hobbseebazhang: there are repos02:59
Hobbseebazhang: and w.u.c/HardyReleaseSchedule is up, but not final.02:59
bazhangHobbsee: sorry to be such a pain.. :}03:00
bazhangand thanks!03:00
Hobbseedist-upgrade may work, but will likely blow up03:00
silentI'll stick with gutsy, I just recently got it working how I want it03:01
bazhangsame here..for now03:01
Hobbseescary to think that i went to gutsy, thsi time, 6 months ago03:01
bazhangwowza03:01
Hobbseeeverything worked except my wifi, iirc.03:01
Hobbseeof course, it was on kubuntu though03:01
Hobbseetends to break less - maybe from less changes03:02
bazhangI want to install Hardy Heron to my eeePC mini-laptop (eeeuser.com)03:02
silentHobbsee, at least your menus arent missing functions that are explained in the help files03:02
silent-_-"03:02
silentbazhang, you have an eeepc?03:03
bazhangyes!03:03
nrpbazhang, howd you get one already?03:03
silenthow big is the keyboard?03:03
nrpare you in taiwan?03:03
bazhanglive in Taiwan03:03
nrpgotcha03:03
bazhangsmallish, but still usable kb03:03
nrphows the linux distro that comes with it?03:03
bazhangbut with Xandros (ugh).03:03
nrpah, heh, enough said :p03:04
bazhangfisher-price mode only03:04
silentbazhang, you can install ubuntu on it03:04
bazhangI almost installed Kubuntu last night--had kanotix working on it, but no wifi03:04
silenthmm03:04
* nrp was considering an eee, but is holding out for OLPC G1G103:05
bazhangthose are nice03:05
silentdoes the olpc still look like something you'd find in a sandbox?03:05
bazhangsugar os03:05
nrpsilent, or toy from a very large expensive cereal box03:05
bazhanghaha03:06
bazhangwho's the op?03:07
nrpbazhang, yea, i played with sugar in QEMU, it has a pretty nifty feel03:07
bazhangnrp: it is nice.03:07
bazhangas is Xandros, but so slow...03:08
silentI have an hp tx100003:08
silentits small enough for me03:08
nrpbazhang, which model did you get?03:08
bazhang4G03:08
bazhangbest wait a couple of weeks for 8G though03:08
Hobbseesilent: heh.  patches welcome.03:08
silentbazhang, you can always add a 8gb sd card03:09
bazhangjoin #eeepc03:09
silentthey aren't overly expensive03:09
bazhangtrue03:09
silentor wait for the new solid-state storage coming out03:09
silentdevices up to 32gb i think03:09
silentfor regular-sized flash drive/sd03:10
nrpis the ssd in the eee user replacable?03:10
bazhangand higher not too distant future03:10
bazhangnot at this point.03:10
nrpi assumed it would be soldered on03:10
silentyeah, potential for actual solid state .. "hard disk drives"03:10
bazhangsoldered on nrp03:10
bazhangerr it's03:10
nrphmm, well i suppose its user replaceable for someone with a steady hand and a maginifying glass :p03:11
nrpand solder station, i suppose03:11
bazhang:}03:12
silenthow much are the OLPCs?03:12
silentlast I heard they were ~10003:12
nrpsilent. $200 each if you buy 10,000 ;)03:13
silentoh wow03:13
bazhangwaiting for ubuntu mobile03:13
nrpGive 1 Get 1 program is $400, and they send you one, and send one to a kid in a country that needs one03:13
silentbazhang, is it ubuntu for laptops?03:14
bazhangsilent for tiny laptops, and handhelds, etc.03:14
silentnrp, what's he gonna do with it? use it for fuel?03:14
nrpwasnt the mobile version of ubuntu supposed to come out along with gutsy?03:14
bazhangnot sure--though they do have a channel, forgot which03:15
nrpsilent, its designed to be used in a classroom environment.  the charger and connectivity are in the school, but the kid owns the laptop and can take it home to his/her family03:15
silentnrp, what if the battery runs out at home?03:16
silentwe're giving them a 200 dollar laptop and no ac/dc adapter?03:16
silentalthough, some of them may not have power03:17
nrpsilent, it lasts 10+ hours in greyscale mode, i believe, but the idea is that hand/solar/whatever powered chargers are going to be available03:17
silentoh wow03:17
nrpsilent, exactly the problem, power is unstable or nonexistant in many places the OLPC is to end up03:17
silent10+ hours is good news03:17
silentfor them and for me03:17
nrpindeed.03:17
silentthat's unheard of in the world of mobile pcs03:17
nrpyep.  theres some really amazing hardware and software development going on with the olpc03:18
nrpapparently the laptop can perform a lot of its functions with the CPU off03:18
silent:O03:18
silentwtf03:18
silentit must have a low-clock cpu to perform certain simple calculations then03:19
nrpi believe the idea was that the display/graphics controller can operate independantly of the main cpu03:19
silentyes but programs need the cpu03:20
bazhang#ubuntu-mobile is the channel03:20
silentor some sort of processing unit03:20
nrpwell, yes03:20
silentwhat sort of processor does it use?03:20
nrpbut in ebook mode, that would mean turning on the cpu for a fraction of a second to pull another page out of flash03:20
silenti assume some sort of low-clock 45nm03:21
nrpsilent, AMD geode03:21
nrp~450mhz, i think03:21
bazhangand cow-powered now03:21
bazhangno kidding03:21
silentits interesting to see development head toward long battery life03:21
nrpbazhang, heh, yea, saw that picture03:21
bazhang:}03:22
silentclassically it's been "we need faster processors and better batteries" end result the laptop has the same battery life03:22
silentI've actually been trying to figure out a way to underclock my turion x2 and kill one of the cores03:22
* nrp doesnt want to think about cpu power usage03:24
nrpit hurts when youre taking a class where you have to design a minimum power cpu03:24
silentit's challenging03:25
silentlots of calculus though, I assume03:25
silentor do you do algebraic solutions to certain situations?03:26
nrpnot much calculus, just painful boolean logic03:26
silenthow much speed are you willing to compromise in design?03:27
nrptrying to find the right balance between small, fast, and low power03:27
nrpheh, yea, thats exactly the problem03:27
silentI'd say around 500mhz would be a minimum03:27
silentyou're making a cpu after all, not a graphing calculator03:27
nrpwell, it depends on what it is youre trying to do.  in my case, its just a basic 8 bit cpu.03:28
silentbut why?03:28
nrpits a class, those are the specs03:29

XVampireXHeya :D07:05
XVampireXYou people should look into this post: http://www.fsckin.com/2007/10/30/in-depth-roadmap-analysis-for-ubuntu-hardy-heron-804/07:05
HobbseeXVampireX: who's the writer?07:08
XVampireXNot me :P07:09
XVampireXBy the way I have a nice idea07:09
XVampireXCan I still make a proposal for a feature?07:10
Hobbseesure, if you want to find people to go and implement it07:11
XVampireXIt's a simple idea...07:12
XVampireXI always thought that the Mixer in Linux really lacks, it really fits like Windows 95/98 fits, really old..07:12
XVampireXSo I thought something a bit more professional like some windows sound cards have for example what I have, realtek HD Audio Manager :D07:15

Hobbseedont know how well it works, though :)12:25
bazhang:}12:25
Hobbseei'll be more motivated to fix it when actually running it, so...12:25
bazhangsurely you put that on a different machine..12:25

Hobbseenah.  xp, kubuntu gutsy, ubuntu gutsy12:26
bazhangjust joking.12:26
Hobbseeit usually runs xp, kubuntu $stable, kubuntu $development12:26
bazhangwhat's the best partition manager--gparted or parted magic?12:27
Hobbseethe one that exists :P12:27
bazhangfor noobs, that is.12:27
bazhangparted magic it is then12:27
Hobbseeparted magic doesnt exist.12:27
bazhangso it's just gparted with another name--just got the torrent from linuxtracker12:28
Hobbseethere's qtparted, gparted, and a windows thing called partition magic12:28
Hobbseethose are the main ones, anyway12:28
Hobbseeand the thing in the alternate installer12:28
Hobbseeparted magic is none of those.12:28
bazhangavoid it?12:28
Hobbseedunno what it is :)12:29
Hobbseepartition magic, OTOH, is OK, although i never found a working version12:29
* Hobbsee just uses the ubuntu installers to partition12:29

Hobbseei dont know how to debug gnome stuff, so :)12:41
Hobbseewell, not gnome-specific stuff, anyway12:41
HobbseeIdleOne: no, this is my main machine.12:41
HobbseeIdleOne: but i have 3 partitions :)12:41
Hobbseeso...12:41
HobbseeIdleOne: i upgraded pretty much at this time of the cycle last time too - had to take advantage of the good bandwidth.  didnt seem too broken, excluding network mangler12:42
IdleOneahhh see all I have is this machine with a 20Gig hd cant realy partition to much here12:42
IdleOnewell when it is done let me know how it turns out. if it isnt to bad 'll go ahead and upgrade also12:43
Hobbseethis is 80, but i was tripple booting on 40 too12:47
HobbseeIdleOne: hm.  seems OK.  should i reboot?  :)12:47
IdleOneHobbsee: does it want you to?12:49

* Worm likes alt+F2 shortcut13:40
IdleOneI just got a software update notification and the upgrade is not done yet :)13:41
IdleOneworm I never use it13:42
WormIdleOne: Well, I don't have any icons on my desktop so I have to use it. I don't use the menu bar so often and that shortcut is very useful.13:45
IdleOnecool Boinc has finally changed it's icon :)13:47
IdleOnehehe looked up and saw a new icon on my panel lmao13:47
cps1966i give up cant get md5sum of cd13:48
ikoniacps1966 what's up13:48
cps1966well Hobbsee asked me for md5sum of burned cd but it keeps saying its a dir13:49
* Hobbsee asked for which packages, and the general issue13:49
IdleOneSetting up libtoastncoffee-dbus1.0(0.6.0-1)13:49
IdleOne?? whats that about13:49
IdleOnehehe13:50
cps1966well its about 7-8 th file it needs is all i can recall13:50

ikoniaIdleOne looks like dbus and cdrw intergration13:51
IdleOneikonia: :)13:52
ikoniaHobbsee: NICE topic13:53
Hobbseeheh13:53
ikoniaDon't run hardy, it probably doesn't work -- this is definitely pre-alpha13:53
ikonianice to see it spelt out13:53
IdleOneso what did we do? jumped to upgrade13:54
ikoniaIdleOne ?13:54
* IdleOne is upgrading right now13:55
ikoniaJaymac aztec west ?13:55
IdleOnecompwiz18: did also and so did Hobbsee  and I believe Amaranth did and prolly a few others13:55
ikoniaIdleOne I think topic is more aimed at "average joe" who wants the latest thing13:56
IdleOneyeah13:56
Hobbseeno, taht's just so people arent surprised when it does die.13:56
ikoniaIdleOne remember all the "I can't get the cube working - this is stopping my life from working"13:56
IdleOneaverage joe will go for it anyway13:57
ikoniaHobbsee m,ost people know it won't work or have massive bugs13:57
IdleOneikonia: yeah I remember that and the entire time Im thinking what cube? why do these people want a cube lol13:57
* IdleOne doeasnt have 3d13:57
ikoniaIdleOne there was one guy Crozaz or something who expected everything to work and wanted to fix everything in channel13:57
IdleOneand Im not to sure I want it13:58
Piciikonia: crozar :)13:58
ikoniahe kept being told "its beta and won't work" and kept saying "others are using it and it works, or "its worked for me so far13:58
ikoniaPici thats the rascal13:58
Hobbseeikonia: no they dont.13:58
IdleOneyeah I remember him13:58
Amaranth!worksforme13:58
ubotuCommon Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/13:58
ikoniaHobbsee most people who are following or interested in the development will know I should have said13:59
ikoniaHobbsee you are correct13:59
Hobbseeyes.  should.13:59
IdleOneHobbsee: you should add " Please see !worksforme " to topic13:59
Hobbseehm13:59
ikoniatopic is fine13:59
Hobbseethat's probably not a bad idea, although it will get long13:59
ikoniaI was just saying its nice to see it spelt out14:00
IdleOneaverage joe needs a definition14:00
IdleOnebrb smoke break14:00
IdleOnealright time for a reboot14:09
cps1966Hobbsee:  i have dpkg.log but it doesn't tell what packages it missed but it skips around a bit14:10

IdleOnewell hardy !worksforme14:16
hydrogenhmm14:16
hydrogenanyone remember sphereXP14:17
hydrogento change the topic to an off topic one!14:17
ikoniaIdleOne !="not"14:22
IdleOneikonia: ??14:22
ikoniaIdleOne select blah from table where blah !=test14:22
Hobbseethe factoid, most likely14:22
ikoniaIdleOne: ! in plssql means not14:22
IdleOneoh14:22
ikoniaHobbsee I was teasing14:23
IdleOnewell what is the symbol for "does"14:23
IdleOne:P14:23
hydrogenPlease add Hydrogen doesn't !workforme to the topic!14:29
hydrogenbecaues i'm not in a topic that often :(14:29
Hobbseeahh! there is brokenness!14:43
Piciaha!14:43
Hobbseesoftware sources does not fun14:43
Hobbseeer, run14:43
rbrunhuberhi14:48
Hobbseeah ha.  nasty hack :)14:48
PiciWho?14:49
PiciOr What ;)14:49
Hobbseeaww, it wont run more often than daily anyway14:49
Hobbseesoftware sources doesnt have a hardy template yet14:49
PiciAh.14:50
Hobbseeso, i did the logical thing, and tricked it into thinking it was gutsy.14:50
Hobbseeto get it to run14:50
IdleOneHobbsee: share the hack please. if you could pastebin instructions or just tell me here if it is simple15:19
Hobbseeyou dont want to use it15:19
IdleOnehehe why not15:19
Hobbseeunless you only want to access it for specific purposes, and not change anything15:20
IdleOneactualy i dont really need to access it I guess15:20

sn9when is the next resync with debian for xorg in hardy?18:59
gnomefreaksn9: awhile, 6.10 release it was in december iirc19:03
gnomefreaksn9: best way to know is wait or ask if you can help with it19:04
sn9edgy? wtf?19:04
gnomefreakafaik we still only have one X dev19:04
gnomefreaksn9: i used it because of time frame19:04
gnomefreakso figure a month or a little over a month19:04
sn9but the xorg in gutsy seems to coincide with lenny19:05
gnomefreaksn9: if i used gutsy it was very late in the release19:05
sn9"used gutsy" ?19:05
gnomefreakit was a month or 6 weeks before release that xorg was done19:05
sn9done in ubuntu, right?19:06
gnomefreakno wait it was feisty that was in dec. not edgy sorry19:06
gnomefreaksn9: yes19:06
gnomefreakbut if we decide to take it from debian that it depends on debian19:06
sn9but feisty came before lenny19:07
sn9before the xorg in lenny, that is19:07
gnomefreakfeisty nor gutsy used lenny we take from sid most of time19:08
sn9i know, but what is now in lenny was then in sid19:08
gnomefreaksn9: me not being a X dev i cant tell you when it will get done but i promise it will be a while19:08
sn9one xorg guy? which video chipset does he personally have, btw?19:09
gnomefreaksid is where we get packages from if we merge from debian not all packages are in sid first19:09
gnomefreaksn9: dont know, most devs have more than one pc and devs test packages before they are put into repos19:10
sn9the reason i ask is:19:10
gnomefreakso maybe xorg gets on 10 pcs and tested before it lands in repos19:10
gnomefreaksn9: to make sure it works19:10
gnomefreakfor the most part atleast, we cant test ever aspect of every app19:11
sn9although my personal strong preference for a distro is ubuntu, i thought i'd give setting up a knoppmyth box a try19:11
sn9the hardware has s3 unichrome19:11
sn9no knoppmyth dev has unichrome hardware19:12
gnomefreakthats strictly up to you. not all my pcs run ubuntu19:12
sn9i did an "apt-get -b source" of ubuntu's openchrome driver on it19:12
sn9it works as well as could be expected, but i had to downgrade xorg for it19:13
sn9the openchrome snapshot currently in hardy is quite old19:13
gnomefreaksn9: same as in gutsy19:16
sn9right19:16
sn9there are launchpad entries saying it doesn't work in gutsy19:17
sn9but the same pkg works on knoppmyth, so that must be a kernel issue19:17
gnomefreaksn9: there will always be bugs in apps unless you fix them, we cant fix all bugs nor cant we keep up with all bugs19:17
gnomefreakhint you want it to change help out.19:18
sn9i understand that -- it wasn't an objection19:18
sn9having only one xorg guy certainly explains a lot, since debian's xorg is so messed up19:21
sn9who is it, btw?19:21
sn9i might be able to help a little on certain chipsets19:23
sn9gnomefreak: hmm?19:30
rabbit64Hi. I've got an idea... to ask to enable boinc in ubuntu installation process. Imagine, that for example million users who do not know what boinc is would donate their processing power. is it so stupid idea?19:57
sn9rabbit64: not everybody has that much processing power. this isn't vista20:01
rabbit64sn9, for example i have core2duo and x1800xt (i dont know if processing power of a video card can be used), but if all distributions will include boinc and linux will become widespread, it can help (or not?)20:03
sn9it could, but there are many boinc-powered projects, and the user should be able to choose from among them20:03
rabbit64so let's make an option to choose a random project...or to make the choice easy or something like that20:05
sn9interesting idea20:05
sn9something like the popcon option in the desktop installer'20:05
sn9as for your x1800xt: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Swap_on_video_ram20:06
rabbit64swap on videoram would be cool...20:06
rabbit64i will check that20:06
rabbit64but imagine that there will be many many computer devices around the world, many people will have many of them. It is true that that processing power eats energy of wireless(laptop) devices, but when a remote power charging becomes standard, the processing power will be quite huge, don't you think?20:10
sn9remote power charging is a pipe dream, like perpetual motion20:11
rabbit64i have read about it, it works with 20% efficiency i think20:12
bmk789_except wireless power is possible20:12
rabbit64google it20:12
rabbit64it is possible20:12
rabbit64I think that if an sci-fi like AI 'society' would exist, they would do it ;)20:14
sn9rabbit64: the benefits of wireless power will never outweigh its costs20:18
rabbit64sn9, as for perpetual motion, maybe if we could use dark energy, we would have unlimited power source, even though it wouldn't be perpetual, but theoretically possible (provided that it exists...), why not?20:19
sn9same idea20:19
rabbit64sn9, 40% efficiency is not so bad20:24
rabbit64or not 40? hmm dunno20:24
