WhizkidI'm trying to netboot Hardy on an old laptop with a PCMCIA card reader. I've tried one image that always says there are no kernel images. Which boot image should I be using, and if I'm using the right one, how does one get around the kernel issue?02:07

teethdoodI'm about to take the plunge to hardy. Any last words of wisdom?02:50
WorkingOnWiseteethdood: ever run an alpha OS before?02:51
teethdoodWorkingOnWise: yes, ubuntu 6.10, 7.04, 7.1002:51
WorkingOnWiseteethdood: in that case....dive! dive! Dive!  hehe...02:52
teethdood7.10 doesn't excite me anymore :) I need things to break so I can sweat and cuss, and stuff02:52
cwilluooo, so it's time for the unwashed masses to start installing 7.10?! :)02:52
WorkingOnWiseteethdood: ever run Windows? It provides lots of that....02:53
cwillumythtv can provide sufficient cussing too, depending on your expectations02:53
WorkingOnWisesems aroun here all we ever get is a broke xserver sometimes.02:53
teethdoodI want to get my hands on PulseAudio..I hear good things about it02:54
WorkingOnWisecwillu: I looked at mythtv back with 7.04 and decided i'd give it a year to simmer before I tried that brain damage again  :)02:54
cwillu:p02:54
cwilluI had a hauppauge 150 card lying around, makes for a surprisingly smooth install02:55
WorkingOnWiseteethdood: I have it installed...not a clue what it is, but it sure sounds cool!  :D02:55
WorkingOnWisecwillu: of mythtv?02:55
cwilluall it really needs is somebody who didn't grow up with it to point out all the really really stupid configuration options that no normal person should ever see02:56
teethdoodaudio that pulses...what more can you ask for02:56
cwilluyes02:56
* DanaG loves having multiple audio devices.02:56
cwilluWorkingOnWise, better yet, I bought a 500 (150$, dual tuner), and it just worked02:56
WorkingOnWisecwillu: have u messed with elisa?02:56
teethdoodelisa is nice!02:56
cwilluno, what is that?02:56
WorkingOnWisecwillu: really? in Ubuntu?02:56
cwillumythbuntu02:57
cwilluthe base hauppauge cards have good support02:57
cwillu/dev/video0 outputs an mpeg2 stream02:57
teethdoodelisa would be a lot nicer if it allows me to type in a description for each movie file I have on there02:57
teethdoodright now it just lists the movie filenames02:57
WorkingOnWisecwillu: it's in the repos. looks like a media center of sorts. didnt impress me much, but it is much simpler to install that myth is at least.02:57
cwillutv and remote support?02:58
WorkingOnWiseno clue.02:58
teethdoodelisa doesn't do TV02:58
cwilluunder development02:59
cwillugood02:59
teethdoodit's just a nice interface for throwing media files at it02:59
WorkingOnWisei use my laptop as a mini (yeah right....17" display) dvd player sometimes and want a little more integration that totem or mplayer...02:59
cwilluI've got users that depend on their tv02:59
cwilluinherited a blurry 22" monitor, and the roommates' tv blew up at the same time02:59
cwilluour tv is now a blurry 22" monitor ;p[02:59
WorkingOnWiselol02:59
teethdoodsomeone just pointed me to MediaTomb...allows you to stream music/videos to all your networked computers so they work like cable TV03:00
cwilluapparently we've got a 42" projection tv coming next weekend, but they got addicted to 'pause live tv' really really quickely03:00
* DanaG wishes CableLabs weren't 'in bed with the devil', so to speak, and would allow Linux use of CableCard -- even if it's not open-source.03:00
cwilluso, I've got a collection of 16 git repo's, all around 1-2 gigs in size03:01
cwilluthat have never been repacked03:01
cwilluThis, it would seem, Is Not A Supported Use03:01
DanaGWhere 'the devil' is the MAFIAA ( http://mafiaa.org/ ).03:01
WorkingOnWisecwillu: are there any reasonable ways to get a good signal to a laptop for viewing cable tv wirelessly?03:02
cwilludefine reasonable :p03:02
cwilluI know you could stream the mpeg2 output from the capture card to the laptop via netcat or something03:03
WorkingOnWisesome small usb or firewire device as a reciever for the laptop, and a transmiter on the cable tv connection03:03
cwilluI _think_ myth tv would let you use the laptop as a frontend (viewing live the output from the backend containing the capture card)03:03
DanaGOr do this:03:03
DanaGcable -> amplifier -> antenna03:03
DanaGantenna on laptop -> tuner.03:03
cwilluhauppauge sells a box to do that, but they only officially support windows, and none of their usb devices have linux support yet afaik03:04
DanaGBut watch out for the FCC...03:04
cwilluhonestly, if I were doing it, I'd go with having a machine plugged into the cable, and doing something over 802.11 to get to the laptop03:04
WorkingOnWiseDanaG: is that site a joke? MAFIAA?03:05
cwilluI don't need to deal with yet another wireless device on my laptop :p03:05
WorkingOnWisecwillu: i only have 4 now...plenty of room!  :D03:05
DanaGLook at the date.03:06
WorkingOnWiseDanaG: it must be....03:06
cwillu802.11, bluetooth, what else?03:06
cwilludual usb wireless adapters?03:07
cwilluand a cell card for the really remote locations?03:07
DanaGBluetooth is slow.03:07
WorkingOnWiseDanaG: I see the date...that cant be for real....even the RIAA isnt That stupid!03:07
WorkingOnWisecwillu: two 802.11, usb wireless mouse and keyboard for the docking station...03:08
DanaGI tried even PulseAudio's RTP thingy over 11g (at 36 megabits, for some reason), and that was droppy.03:09
DanaGhttp://reports.internic.net/cgi/whois?whois_nic=mafiaa.org&type=domain03:09
DanaGNot any industry name.03:09
DanaGBut anyway, that's off-topic.03:09
cwillubah, forgot about wireless input :p03:10
* cwillu shudders at the mention of rtp03:10
cwillureally, I'm shuddering more at java's implementation of rtp about 6 years ago03:11
UnNaturalHighAfter adding the hardy repositories on a test machine I have noticed that quite a few things will be upgraded. Is it possible to remove the hardy repository and go back to a gutsy repository or is that going to break?03:11
cwillubut the nightmare's are still there03:11
DanaGIt's possible.... but really really unadvised.03:11
UnNaturalHighDanaG, for example, things are going to break-due to configuration files being changed?03:11
cwilluUnNaturalHigh, there's some settings you can put in /etc/apt/preferences to make it not automatically use gutsy repos for upgrades03:11
cwilluif you haven't installed anything, then reverting sources.list and apt-get update'ing should bring you back to a sane state03:12
DanaGOh, I didn't notice that you said you hadn't upgraded.03:12
UnNaturalHighcwillu, I am aware that I can remove the sources.list entry, but I am just curious about being able to move backwards and forwards03:12
cwilludid you want to upgrade completely, or are you trying to just get some upgraded packages in an otherwise working gutsy install?03:13
UnNaturalHighcwillu, exactly03:14
cwilluwhich?03:14
UnNaturalHighI wish to use the latest GCC and kernel for some things I am developing03:14
cwilluyou can just download and install the debs directly, assuming they don't rely on anything03:14
cwilluI run the hardy kernel on that myth box I was talking about above on gutsy, for instance03:14
cwilluthe backports page on the ubuntu wiki shows how to add a repo without using it by default03:15
UnNaturalHighso the best way is to download the individual deb's or can I add the repositories and through some mechanism tell apt to use only certain packages from the hard repository?03:15
cwilluyou probably want to do that, and then install the package you want via synaptic | force version03:15
cwilluor that, yes03:15
UnNaturalHighcwillu, sorry, the later way is the one you would suggest?03:16
cwilluhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports, except use the hardy repo instead of the backports repos'03:17
cwilluit has instructions for the preferences file, which will do the second thing you mentioned (the synaptics | force version)03:17
UnNaturalHighcwillu, perfect, thank you03:18
UnNaturalHighI find this mixing of repositories something lacking in ubuntu03:18
cwilluit's not a recommended state really03:18
* UnNaturalHigh is to sued to rolling update styles such as in archlinux/gentoo03:18
cwilluit's only necessary when you're mixing repo's with very large numbers of packages that aren't designed to work together03:18
UnNaturalHigh*used03:18
cwilluis #ubuntu still full and crazy with compiz issues, or have those calmed down since release?03:21
cwilluI haven't dared to look in a while :p03:21
UnNaturalHighcwillu, have not seen many of those personally03:21
WorkingOnWisecwillu: it has smoothed a bit.03:21
cwillunice03:22
DanaGI have downgraded a system once, and it actually worked.  However, I then missed everything that was new in the newer version, and upgraded to it again.03:22
cwilluI noticed hardy turns compiz on on my radeon now03:22
WorkingOnWisecwillu: biggest things i see now are ppl either not knowing what hardware they have, or trting to force their trident video card with 4mb of vid ram to do full 3d rendering03:24
cwillulol03:24
cwilludid that once (voodoo3)03:24
cwilluyay for software rendering :p03:24
UnNaturalHighDanaG, I have two laptops, and one which runs archlinux and I miss some of the new features on my ubuntu laptop03:25
cwilluwoot, 5 minutes, and not a single compiz issue :)03:26
UnNaturalHighwhich do you guys recommend to use more aptitude/apt-get to install/remove packages?03:26
UnNaturalHighI have read that aptitude is much more robust then apt-get, is that true?03:27
WorkingOnWisecwillu: lol...i haven't had any problems with compiz-fusion at all. real stable.03:27
UnNaturalHighbtw, thx for the info cwillu on the repositories, it works great!03:27
PiciI believe apt-get's behavior is more similar to aptitude's now.  But I personally use aptitude.03:27
cwilluUnNaturalHigh, n[03:27
cwillunp even :p03:27
WorkingOnWiseUnNaturalHigh: I use Synaptic and have never had a problem.03:28
* IdleOne uses aptitude03:28
PiciBut then again, I review what exactly it wants to do, what packages it wants to remove, and all the changelogs as well.03:28
UnNaturalHighI heard that aptitude has better package tracking allowing it to completely remove packages 'properly'03:29
WorkingOnWiseUnNaturalHigh: unless I have a seriously broken package, then I use apt-get03:29
cwilluWorkingOnWise, still needs to do the repo thing, but synaptic supported what he's looking for03:29
* UnNaturalHigh doesn't use synaptic03:29
UnNaturalHighI prefer cli03:29
PiciI prefer cli as well.03:29
PiciI have a shell alias setup to run `sudo aptitude update ; sudo aptitude full-upgrade`.03:30
WorkingOnWisecwillu: I like the fact that synaptic will allow me to backport individual packages and manage repos too...03:30
* cwillu uses apt-get, aptitude, dpkg, synaptic, and occasional direct python hacking of the apt cache :p03:30
* DanaG always uses aptitude.03:30
UnNaturalHighcwillu, doing this method of pinning, will it also update them when I update my system?03:31
PiciWorkingOnWise: I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that it only did that with respect to itself, so if you use another tool, it won't necesarrily pin properly.03:31
DanaGwell, 'always' is a bit too strong, but I use for mostly everything.03:31
cwilluUnNaturalHigh, yes;  it's not really pinning, it's pinning the repo it'll try to download from03:31
DanaGYou can also pin by release name.03:32
WorkingOnWisePici: not sure actually. I only have one package back ported to an old version, and I always uncheck it before I update.03:32
* UnNaturalHigh is excited to get b43 going on this laptop03:32
UnNaturalHighI have heard b43 is much better then bcm43xx03:32
DanaGOh hey, cwillu: you said you have, or had, a voodoo3?  I have one of those lying around, and I'm wondering what, if anything, it's useful for nowadays.03:33
teethdoodwhat is this "Gobuntu"? this is the first I've seen it03:33
cwilluit'll run 2d accelerated03:33
cwillunot much use for 3d03:33
Pici!gobuntu03:34
ubotugobuntu is a freedom-focused flavour of Ubuntu intended for experienced Linux enthusiasts. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/gobuntu for more information and download mirrors..03:34
DanaGAnd where can I go for a "Stopbuntu"?03:34
cwillumight be able to get a second head up on it if it's pci, but you'll lose dri for any remotely sane setup03:34
teethdoodDanaG: this is OSS, roll your own Stopuntu :)03:35
UnNaturalHighit is nice to see all these ubuntu variants spawning with e1703:35
UnNaturalHighe17 has a lot of potential03:35
DanaGAnd 'elbuntu' reminds me of 'elbonia'.03:35
WorkingOnWisewhats e17?03:36
teethdoodthere's an elbuntu?!? what's the world coming me03:36
teethdoodto03:36
DanaGI remember once comparing (in Windows) my voodoo3 to a GeForce2.03:36
iN00DLEe17 = enlightenment 17 WorkingOnWise03:36
Picielbuntu?03:36
UnNaturalHighWorkingOnWise, a "Desktop Manager"; something between a window manager and a desktop environment03:36
DanaGBig thing I noticed: GeForce 2 couldn't do video overlay at the nice resolution (for 19" CRT at that time) of 1280x960.03:36
UnNaturalHighWorkingOnWise, www.enlightenment.org and www.get-e.org03:37
WorkingOnWiseiN00DLE: i see today that 2 way works between evolution and gcal03:37
iN00DLEO.O I hadn't checked WorkingOnWise03:37
teethdoodok here we go...I'm taking the plunge!03:38
teethdood8.04 upgrading03:38
iN00DLEso you preloaded ubuntu+1 channel just in case teethdood ?03:38
WorkingOnWiseI tinkered with Enlightenment a while back but didnt have the time to figure it out. It looks sweet, but was so differant from with I expected/was used to....03:38
teethdoodiN00DLE: I always come here when upgrading...you never know :)03:39
iN00DLEthe only thing I liked from enlightenment was the dock'ish bar, but I came to find I prefer Gimmie over even AWN curves and such03:39
DanaGgimmie?03:40
WorkingOnWisei do like gimmie.03:41
iN00DLEit is proposed for the official 8.04 final release03:41
iN00DLEif you set it in the gnome panel vs on the desktop, it gets even sweeter, especially if you like tweaking your eye candy03:41
WorkingOnWiseiN00DLE: didnt know u could set gimmie on the desktop03:42
iN00DLEtook me a while to figure it out WorkingOnWise , I had seen it but couldn't find the preferences03:42
teethdoodfor the dock thing, I like Kibadock the best03:42
iN00DLEWorkingOnWise, turns out you right click on the gnome panel and there it is under ADD03:43
WorkingOnWiseiN00DLE: I thought that was only to add to a panel?03:43
UnNaturalHighone thing missing is some sort of interface to manage lvm2 (GUI wise)03:43
iN00DLEand preferences can then be set for it as far as the panel goes, and I divided it up, turned it to text only and it is pretty spiffy for my desktop03:43
DanaGWhat is this 'gimmie' thing?03:44
* UnNaturalHigh is also interested in this "gimmi" thing03:45
iN00DLEshould be in the repo, but here is the home page http://beatniksoftware.com/gimmie/Main_Page03:45
UnNaturalHighdoes gimmie require 3D acceleration?03:46
teethdoodGimmie's colors make me want to shoot myself03:47
WorkingOnWiseUnNaturalHigh: no it doesn't03:48
UnNaturalHighWorkingOnWise, that is definitely neat03:48

WorkingOnWiseDanaG: as in aim client, or aim contacts in pidgen?04:05
DanaGContacts.04:06
WorkingOnWiseDanaG: not sure. I use Pidgin and Evolution, and sync pidgin with evolution, and Gimmie shows them all.04:08
DanaGOkay, it sees my AIM account (with a yahoo-looking icon), but it shows 100% of people as offline.04:09
* DanaG tries restarting Pidgin...04:10
cwilluwhat's the standard way of undoing a make install?04:10
cwillumake uninstall?04:10
Piciusually.  or installing with checkinstall the first time around.04:10
cwillugrrrrrr04:10
DanaGNope, now absolutely nobody is shown as online.04:10
Picicwillu: or make remove.  It all depends on what the developer has setup as make targets04:11
DanaGI also have Evolution integration turned off, because I don't use Evolution.04:11
cwilluya, nothing obvious showed up in the makefile, and I was hoping that maybe that was because of some make magic04:11

DanaGgaack, Pidgin doesn't deal well with changing NICs.05:40
WorkingOnWiseteethdood: cool! what?05:40
teethdoodI have my top panel autohide. It doesnt unhide05:41
WorkingOnWiseI always get nick collisions cuz I sign into freenode and ubuntu irc servers at the same time.05:41
WorkingOnWiseteethdood: that could be a bit tricky!05:41
SeveredCrossUh, freenode == ubuntu servers.05:42
DanaGgaack, Pidgin doesn't deal well with changing NICs.  Oh, and I still can't see any contacts.05:42
DanaGIs it a redirect, or just a DNS entry?05:42
WorkingOnWiseSeveredCross: huh?05:42
teethdoodWorkingOnWise: the thing is, it unhides when I move the mouse towards the left or right corners...interesting05:43
SeveredCrossI believe it's a redirect.05:43
SeveredCrossI connect to "Ubuntu Servers" listed in XChat's network list and can join Freenode channels without any issues.05:43
WorkingOnWisesounds like a confilct between compiz-fusions Expose and gnome panel ?05:43
SeveredCrossSo, as far as I can tell, Ubuntu Servers === Freenode.05:43

WorkingOnWiseSeveredCross: hmmm....can't find any....musta just missed some when I was lookin in ubuntu and saw then when I was lookin in freenode05:52
SeveredCross:-)05:52
SeveredCrossLook at your server status window.05:53
WorkingOnWiseso I'll stop loggin to both and causing my nick colission!05:53
SeveredCrossThe Network says "Ubuntu Servers" because that's what XChat knows it as, but the server status window says calvino.freenode.net05:53
WorkingOnWiseI use pidgin for irc....05:54
DanaGI'm going to try something: perhaps 'telepathy' will work with that 'gimmie' thing.05:55
WorkingOnWiseDanaG: have u shut down gimmie and pidgin?05:55
DanaGYeah, I've tried restarting each.  In which order should I start them?05:55
WorkingOnWiseit doesnt matter for me. I would imagine since it is a panel app, start gimmie and then pidgin since gimmie will start before pidgin during a log in.05:56
DanaGI've done it that way already, and all I get is no contacts listed as online.05:57
WorkingOnWisewierd.05:57
DanaGI'm watching with dbus-monitor, and it seems like Pidgin is only ever returning 0 on 'purplebuddyisonline' queries.05:58
WorkingOnWiseare u up to dat with pidgin and gimmie? I have 2.2.2 for pidgin05:58
DanaGI'm using whatever's in the package manager.05:59
WorkingOnWiseI have everything in the repos for pidgin and purple installed....maybe thats it?05:59
WorkingOnWisethen u are up to date there..05:59
WorkingOnWisedo u have all the pidgin plugins installed? and all the stuff for purple? I think there are 2 libs for purple...06:00
DanaGYeah, except for things like 'sipe' and 'thinklight' and 'guifications'.06:01
DanaGPurple is returning 0 for buddyisonline.06:02
WorkingOnWiseI installed all, except things that were guarenteed not to wotk, like thinklight. try just installing everything related to pidgin. reading the webpage, it seems like the person writing it may not be a great documenter of his code. It is possible he is calling some odd function in a seemingly unrelated plugin. I am pretty sure buddyisonline will return 0 for both 0 online, and for not recieving a request since startup. If06:05
WorkingOnWiseit is written in python, so the error handleing isn't very good unless the programer writes good traps06:06
DanaGI also have tried with 'dbus example' plugin both disabled and enabled.06:06
teethdoodwhat alpha version are we on now guys?06:06
WorkingOnWiseAlpha 206:06
teethdoodWorkingOnWise: thanks, doing that bug report06:07
WorkingOnWiseDanaG: where are u looking at dbus info? I'l see what mine is doing06:07
teethdoodbtw, the culprit is the Desktop Wall compiz plugin messing around with gnome-panel06:07
WorkingOnWiseteethdood: yw06:07
DanaGdbus-monitor (in console)06:08
WorkingOnWiseteethdood: thats y i never see it. I turn it off to turn on something with the cube as soon as I enable compiz-fusion06:08
DanaGYeah, buddyisonline is returning 0 always.06:09
DanaGWho knows, maybe it's case-sensitive.06:09
DanaGI just had a buddy sign on, and still nothing.06:09
teethdoodWorkingOnWise: dunno if I should file in launchpad or with the compiz ppl, probably launchpad06:10
UnNaturalHighhave any of you guys tried using rtorrent in hardy?06:10
WorkingOnWiseteethdood: I would do launchpad and let them forward it if needed...06:10
DanaGDo you have 'dbus example' enabled?06:11
WorkingOnWiseno06:11
DanaGNope, didn't fix it.06:12
WorkingOnWisei am not seing anything for buddiesonline at all...06:13
DanaGTry clicking on stuff in the 'people' panel.06:13
WorkingOnWisewow....lots of stuff, nothing for purplebuddiesonline.06:18
WorkingOnWisebrb06:18
DanaGOh, now I no longer see that myself, either.06:18
DanaGOkay, I do see it again.06:20
* DanaG goes to reboot to new kernel, and hopes scheduling is better.06:30
DanaGMost likely, it won't be.   :(06:30
DanaGWell, I compiled 'gimmie' myself, and now it crashes instead of not working.06:54
DanaGAttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'list_addressbooks'06:56
DanaGCan't use it.  I'll just disable that broken feature, and go back to the packaged version.06:57
DanaGdang brokenness.07:08

dirk`I just installed the latest Hardy Alpha and gnome session is hanging on login.  Any fixes?19:12
SeveredCrossNo idea, I haven't seen the issue but I'm due for a reboot after the Alpha 3 upgrade cycle today.19:24
SeveredCrossMaybe it's GFX card drivers...FGLRX got an update today.19:25
Picidirk`: which alpha?19:26
dirk`Pici, Daily build from 1-719:30
dirk`updated19:30
Picidirk`: It doesnt surprise me that a daily build install isnt working.  Those isos don't get even close to the same amount of testing as the alphas do.19:30
dirk`Well. it did the same on alpha 1 and 219:31
dirk`Xfce is working fine, but no Gnome19:31
