[00:02] BTW, iwl3945 should be the default in next version of ubuntu, it does not require the restricted regulatory daemon like ipw3945 do. [00:02] nice [00:04] yuhong: it already is [00:04] yuhong: afaik ipw3945 does not even exist in hardy [00:04] yuhong: but it was not ready in gutsy, intel had not yet certified it [00:07] Thanks, I had to manually blacklist ipw3945 and load iwl3945 in gutsy. [00:09] when is the next hardy alpha coming out? [00:12] rainwalker: Thursday probably. [00:13] sweet! [00:13] thanks [00:13] Aren't there daily builds somewhere? [00:13] BTW, machine check is disabled in the gutsy kernel. [00:13] hey, i have a problem with my X freezing and sound starts to repeat/hack, alt+ctrl+backspace or alt+ctrl+prt scr + k does not work [00:14] And in general there are not as many kernels in ubuntu as in debian. [00:14] im not sure how to debug it or find the sinner [00:15] * DanaG loves Magic Sysrq, but hates when he needs Magic Sysrq. === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|Nexuiz === jacob is now known as jacob|nx === jacob|nx is now known as jacob [01:09] hi to all..

[01:49] Dont use the space in front of /msg [01:51] hmmm...my keyboard has ghosts tonight.... [01:52] can I assume that flash in hardy is broken for the same reasons as in Gutsy and the same solution will (hopefully) work for both? [01:52] yes [01:53] I had java 5.0 and things worked, upgraded to hardy and it broke again [01:53] issue is with java [01:54] I can live better with broke java than broke flash... [01:54] your flash is broke? I misread [01:54] I have no issues with flash [01:54] Me either. === T1m0thy_ is now known as T1m0thy === nivek_ is now known as nivek [01:55] hmmm....just, like rebooted into it 10 minutes ago... finished upgrading to Hardy 64bit and the only error i got was for flash nonfree [01:56] how's flash broke now? [01:56] WorkingOnWise: Perhaps its something else, you are running 64bits... [01:57] some required 32 bit libs are missing in ia32-libs [01:57] I may be assuming too much here. The error was just that it failed to install. I automaticlly blamed it on the change adobe made to the tar [01:57] ball [01:57] so you haven't tested if it works yet then? [01:58] oh yes, I went to yahoo video and it said I needd flash, and none of the vides play [01:58] I always test first :) [01:58] I had that issue with firefox 3.0 on gutsy (32bit) [01:58] it's assuming instantly I know the cause that gets me into trouble sometimes :) [01:59] I don't recall how I fixed it, but the current repo of ff 3.0 on hardy works like a charm [01:59] I wont be going to ff3 till my plugins catchup.... [01:59] was flash working in ff2 on gutsy for you? [01:59] nope [02:00] WorkingOnWise: flash does not work because of bug 180478 [02:00] Launchpad bug 180478 in ia32-libs "pulseaudio support, broken nspluginwrapper/flash" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/180478 [02:01] albert23: ty. looking at it now... [02:03] oh goody [02:04] well....looks like I might not be enjoying flash tonight after all.... [02:05] <|neon|> how can i update from gutsy to heron using apt? [02:05] |neon|, if you have to ask then we advise against it. [02:05] Oh yeah, firefox 3.0 doesn't see firefox plugins, unless you symlink the plugin dir. [02:05] /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/plugins [02:06] And be aware that some Firefox 2.0 plugins crash 3.0. [02:07] <|neon|> DarkMageZ: i know that there is a chance i have to re-install everything again , just curious so i do not have to do a fresh install [02:07] who needs flash anyway... [02:07] |neon|: if you have to ask, don't run it. see /topic [02:08] -d [02:09] and be ready to possibly having to resolve hostname or you wont be able to run sudo [02:09] meep [02:09] be ready for anything [02:09] |neon|: when the time comes that you can go from gutsy -> hardy it will tell you in the update-manager [02:10] |neon|: that is when the release is stable.... === bigon is now known as bigon` [02:10] anyhow, i like the new kernel [02:13] how is heron running atm? is it broken often? === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFCLI [02:16] Seeker`: Its definitely not ready for release [02:43] hewus you around === ajmorris|AFCLI is now known as ajmorris === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik [02:57] jtt: yes [02:57] I just got hardy working this morning! [02:57] I don't really know how tho [02:59] I suspected it was something to do with grub not being able to see my other two HDDs, and after a lot of playing with grub 2 and various switching around, I made another menu for grub legacy and it worked! [02:59] good for you that you have not found an hostname error, Hewus [02:59] hostname error? [02:59] i found it while apt upgrading from gutsy [03:01] Gnine: I have gutsy on my sda1 and put hardy on sdb1. I had huge Error 15: File not found problems with grub. I didn't upgrade, just put it alongside gutsy :-) [03:01] I wish I could pinpoint what it is I did that made it work, from what I can tell my menu.lst is the same [03:01] actually I'll check it in detail now [03:05] apart from a UUID change due to a format/reinstall, it's exactly the same. A very strange issue indeed. [03:06] For the record, sdb is a WD SATA 200GB, in case someone knows there is an issue with that drive [03:07] around 2.6.18 kernels, that drive is not detected in linux (eg debian etch, ubuntu dapper) [03:07] I did a lot of testing on it haha, so much installing and changing of stuff.. [03:18] What kernel is the current dev version on? [03:22] 2.6.24 [03:22] cheers [03:56] Anyone else had issues printing with devices that worked prior? [03:58] ah nvm [03:58] it wanted the usb URI instead of the hp === _ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris [04:14] I see a package in synaptic called irqbalance. it says it can balance interupts among multiple cores or cpus, and that usually interupts are typically serviced only by the by the first core.

[04:47] How is the GUI revisions coming? Anything solid yet? [04:52] where can I pose this question.

[06:49] anyone around? [06:50] vwhydrowv: what's up ? [06:51] im having issues with mounting a removable drive and ntfs-3g not recognizing read/write access [06:52] have u ran into this issue before? [06:53] what's it say? [06:53] what have you done... [06:53] on the mount point should i use the directory or the /dev/ [06:53] what do you mean... it should auto mount [06:53] are you trying to mount manually. [06:54] its not [06:54] yes [06:54] you can try [06:54] mount -t nfs-3g /path/to/device /path/to/directory/to/mount [06:54] change paths obviously [06:55] ok [06:55] ill try that [06:55] other issue with directly with ntfs-3g [06:55] but let me get this first [06:55] you're running hardy right? [06:55] yup [06:55] wait, it finally mounted [06:56] under properties though, its not noticing it as a removable drive [06:56] its a usb drive [06:56] well it is a USB drive right? [06:56] yes [06:57] which should show up as a removable drive right? [06:57] and when i try to change read-only to read+write it says, the permissions could not be changed, sorry, coulnt change the permissions of "drobo" [06:57] drobo being the removable drive [06:58] vwhydrowv: did you mount it yourself or did it get mounted with hal ? [06:58] fairly new to linux, what is hal? [06:59] it mounted it on its own, just took a bit of time [07:02] u still there? [07:03] vwhydrowv: HAL stands for Hardware Abstraction Layer. [07:04] ok [07:04] well im not sure, [07:04] how do i check [07:06] * DanaG wishes ntfs-3g had an automatic fallback to read-only. [07:06] Otherwise, it's so boggling when your volumes simply don't mount. [07:07] its definitely mounting now [07:07] just cant get read/write access [07:11] vwhydrowv: try to mount it manually with umask=007 [07:11] ok [07:12] vwhydrowv: umm... and you have ntfs-3g and ntfs-config installed? [07:12] did you run the config and tell it to make it writable? [07:12] yes [07:12] i do [07:12] yes i did [07:14] vwhydrowv: what do you see /var/log/messages when it mounts it? [07:14] what is the error if you type [07:14] mount -o remount,rw /media/whatever ? [07:14] ok ill try that [07:14] replace /media/whatever with where the drive is mounted. [07:15] hrm [07:15] command went through [07:15] lemme check [07:15] read only [07:16] when i change it via the gui, says permissions could not be changed [07:16] do you see anything in /var/log/messages about it? [07:17] going to it now [07:17] Hello, hardy has a new module for broadcomm wifi cards, yet it automatically loads bcm43xx module, how can I make it automatically load the new module (b43) instead ? [07:17] AnAnt: you can try adding bcm43xx to /etc/modules.d/blacklist or something like that [07:18] oops [07:18] modprobe.d [07:18] Hmm, another bug: 75-persistent-net-generator.rules doesn't create rules for wmaster interfaces. [07:18] says write protect is off [07:18] vwhydrowv: if you type mount [07:19] does it ro or rw in the options for that drive? [07:19] does it say* [07:19] rw [07:19] in the gui [07:20] aslaen: then ? [07:20] ok [07:20] vwhydrowv: ok, so you should be ok then.. if you browse to that directory can you create a file? [07:20] 1 sec [07:20] no, sorry [07:20] read it wrong [07:21] looking at the logs [07:22] im not finding that info in the logs [07:22] cpu[1 x AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ (AuthenticAMD) @ 1000MHz w/ 1024 KB L2 Cache] [07:22] AnAnt: do you have b43-fwcutter installed ? [07:22] vwhydrowv: ya I know [07:22] at the command line [07:22] type "mount" without the quotes [07:23] There is a problem on that line. a AMD Athlon 64 X2 has 2 CPU cores, why does Hardy think there is only one? [07:23] and look at the device you are having problem with. [07:24] alot of stuff [07:24] what am i looking for specifically [07:24] vwhydrowv: it should look like this. [07:25] oh [07:25] $ mount [07:25] Sonicadvance1, i have AMD 64 X2 tl-56 and im seeing 2 cores [07:25] /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) [07:25] see where it has rw [07:25] . /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw, errors=remount -ro) [07:25] does it say rw or ro on the line for your usb drive? [07:25] It used to see two cores [07:26] Until recently when I decided to show someone my specs [07:26] ro [07:26] vwhydrowv: and when you run "sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/usb/disk it works ? [07:27] says no such file or directory [07:28] vwhydrowv: ya you're not supposed to type it just like that [07:28] ok.. let's start over... where did the drive mount? [07:28] /media.... something [07:28] ya i am [07:30] vwhydrowv: where did it mount the drive ? [07:31] . /media/Drobo [07:31] i got someone going to ssh into it, i do appreciate you trying to help though man [07:31] im just too new to this [07:33] So. I'm currently running on one core now. Anyone know how to fix this problem I seem to have gained? [07:36] aslaen: yes I do [07:36] aslaen: actually I modprobe b43 by hand and it works fine [07:37] aslaen: it's just that I want it to get loaded automatically [07:37] AnAnt: uh. ok.. just one sec [07:37] /etc/modules [07:38] vwhydrowv: I'm glad you're running linux, but you should not be running hardy if you are not familiar with Linux.. it can cause problems you may not wanna fix :) [07:40] DanaG: isn't /etc/modules a deprecated method ? [07:42] aslaen, i chose hardy because of ntfs-3g [07:42] lol [07:43] vwhydrowv: you can use GutsyGibbon with ntfs-3g too [07:43] wraund: I run ntfs-3g in gutsy just fine [07:43] Laser87: lol you beat me to it. [07:44] But let's see - unmount /media/Drobo again [07:45] And mount it with umask=007 [07:45] so sudo umask=007 /media/Drobo? [07:45] no^^ [07:46] already unmounted? [07:46] not yet, actually i cant do anything at the present, someone is ssh'd into it and trying to fix it for me [07:46] i can in a few [07:46] if he cant get it working [07:47] its a friend of mine [07:47] ah, ok - then I'll wait - tell if it works [07:47] ok [07:50] But I have a question too - adding a new user destroyed all my rights. I've been in no group anymore. Took an older Kernel and added me to all groups again [07:51] But still I don't have access to "users and groups" in the GUI (and a few other, I guess) [07:52] and HAL also is not working - don't know if that depends (failed to initializ HAL) [07:53] What could it be, that I cannot use "users and groups" after(!) typing in the pwd? [07:55] Just realized, I had Dual-Core Yesterday, and Yesterday I installed some updates. Today I restarted and now I don't have my other core [07:59] I'm in the groups: joe adm dialout cdrom audio dip video plugdev lpadmin haldaemon admin usb - anything missing? [08:02] no idea? And what about the HAL problem? [08:19] ok fixed === DarkMageZ_ is now known as DarkMageZ [09:52] Laser87: I cannot help you much with your HAL problem particularly as you don't state the exact error message. But one hint: I once had a similar error message and got rid of it after I restored the Gnome menu system to its original format.

I'm borrowing a GUI from a neighbouring system atm, but it's not a permanent solution =\ so I decided to appeal for help [22:42] is it reproducible on a fresh boot? [22:43] well yes [22:44] but I don't like rebooting it, I have a few daemon's I'd rather not vanquish :P [22:45] oops, don't know how that apostrophe got in there... [22:45] daemons* === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [22:55] yoda: it's best to see if a bug is filed against the display manager or sessions [22:55] yoda: if not, go ahead and file one using Launchpad.net [22:57] good poa, I'll go ahead and do that, thanks [23:08] Is kde4 packaging broken atm? === amblin_ is now known as amblin [23:33] nothing like a sigsegv-happy evolution while attempting to compose e-mail regarding linux patches. [23:34] yeah there is, there's a sigsegv-happy thunderbird while attempting to compose e-mail regarding linux patches [23:34] I think that's one of the main ideals of open-source, in fact, is that the end-user should have a choice of software... isn't it? [23:35] I don't think so. This isn't utopia; it's IRC. [23:36] oh... I thought... so where's utopia? can I apt-get that? :P [23:38] not any easier than you can apt-get IRC. [23:39] good point [23:40] mind you, I have a sneaking suspicion that "apt-get install irc" would work, I think there's a client called "irc" [23:40] although it might be ircii I'm thinking of [23:41] E: Invalid operation IRC [23:41] likewise: [23:41] E: Invalid operation utopia [23:41] :s that's "apt-get irc" not "apt-get install irc" [23:41] same with utopia [23:42] * crimsun makes sure he typed 'apt-get IRC' four minutes ago [23:43] yeah ok, I get what you're saying [23:43] but I didn't mean apt-get, I meant apt-get install [23:44] :) [23:44] I was under the impression it was a legitimate abbreviation... [23:44] too many legit operations can be given to apt-get :-) [23:45] install, update, upgrade, autoremove, remove, clean, dist-upgrade, check [23:45] any I'm missing? [23:46] yeah, see apt-get(8) :-) [23:47] I'm missing 3 [23:47] autoclean, clean, source [23:47] oh and dselect-upgrade [23:47] so 4 [23:48] 2.6.24-rc7 time.
