Sonic11 | Boots still, but it takes like 2 minutes to get past those messages | 03:05 |
Sonic11 | Also says that AppArmor is unable to register before those 2 errors. Why is it that App Armor can't register? | 03:06 |

Hirvinen_ | Ok. | 03:21 |
Sonicadvance1 | You wouldn't want me to have spammed the channel would ya? ;) | 03:21 |
alex_mayorga | RAOF ping | 03:21 |
Hirvinen_ | No, of course not. I just thought that might have been due to dash's echo not supporting -e, which results in escapes supported by bash's or gnu's echo being shown. | 03:24 |
Sonicadvance1 | ah | 03:24 |
Hirvinen_ | Anyways. I suffer from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-guidance/+bug/177504 and as you can see, a few guys claim that it would be fixed in alpha. | 03:25 |

alex_mayorga | and firefox 3, but I don't see that either | 03:28 |
Hirvinen_ | yup | 03:28 |
alex_mayorga | anyone knows? | 03:28 |
Sonicadvance1 | hm, annoying bug | 03:28 |

Michael74 | alright | 05:28 |
Michael74 | also does anybody know about Linksys WUSB54GS v2 | 05:29 |
Michael74 | ? | 05:29 |
Amaranth | Michael74: I'm guessing you need ndiswrapper | 05:29 |
Michael74 | so is there planned support for it? | 05:30 |
Amaranth | uh | 05:30 |
Michael74 | or am I stuck for good with a piece of crap | 05:30 |
Michael74 | adpater | 05:30 |
Amaranth | the latter | 05:30 |
Amaranth | We don't do any work on it | 05:30 |
Michael74 | what do yo mean? | 05:30 |
Amaranth | Some random kernel guy might | 05:30 |
Amaranth | Ubuntu does basically zero driver development | 05:31 |
Michael74 | so you don't know if it is being support | 05:31 |
Michael74 | I know the WUSB54G V4 is support and works but won't connect fully to networks (problem appeared since 7.04) | 05:31 |
Michael74 | sucks how I can't find a single wireless card that works right with ubuntu | 05:32 |
Michael74 | they all worked in 7.04 | 05:32 |
Amaranth | Michael74: If it doesn't "just work" you probably want ndiswrapper | 05:32 |
DanaG | If it must be USB.... | 05:33 |
Amaranth | This is why you should get Intel everything :) | 05:33 |
DanaG | I think Zydas has open-source stuff, but I've never used it to know how well it works. | 05:33 |
Amaranth | belkin sells a USB adapter that is supported in linux and OS X | 05:33 |
Michael74 | last time I used ndiswrapper it took me about 5 hours straight to figure out what in the world the Colsole was talking about | 05:34 |
RAOF | Amaranth: Intel for the no-brainer-win. | 05:34 |
Amaranth | well, they used to sell one, anyway | 05:34 |
Michael74 | well Linksys's WERE | 05:34 |
* DanaG has ipw3945 + e1000. Nice. But not so nice when the e1000 NIC dies and needs a reboot to fix it. | 05:34 | |
Michael74 | in 7.04 | 05:34 |
Michael74 | but something changed in 7.10+ that broke wireless for alot of cards | 05:34 |
Amaranth | Michael74: The whole wireless stack in the kernel was replaced | 05:34 |
Michael74 | I am told that it was the rt200 driver being used now | 05:34 |
Michael74 | and the rt2500 needs to be put in | 05:34 |
Amaranth | no, we're not going back to the old stuff | 05:35 |
Amaranth | better to fix the new stuff | 05:35 |
Michael74 | new? | 05:36 |
Amaranth | the stuff used in 7.10+ | 05:37 |
RAOF | DanaG: That'd be iwl3945, now that it works reliably :) | 05:37 |
Amaranth | wow i'm laggy | 05:38 |
Amaranth | 5s lag | 05:38 |
DanaG | Oddly, iwl3945 still seems to have slightly shorter range, at least for seeing beacons. | 05:38 |
DanaG | Then again, it might be hiding things that it can hear but can't 'shout' loud enough to get a message back to. | 05:38 |
RAOF | I think I see that, too. | 05:39 |
DanaG | Oh, and there's no radiotap support, but I used that as more of a curiosity than as a useful thing. | 05:39 |
* RAOF doesn't even know what radiotap *is*. | 05:39 | |
DanaG | Radiotap is nifty: sniff in promiscuous mode while still being associated to an access point. | 05:39 |
Amaranth | damnit | 05:39 |
RAOF | Just on the off-chance you want to...? | 05:40 |
Amaranth | my connection is spiking hard | 05:40 |
* RAOF stops trying to bruteforce Amaranth's system. | 05:40 | |

Hobbsee | cwillu: i suspect kidalabama was running hardy before, but perhpas not | 11:16 |
cwillu | kidalabama, (this may break more things!) open a terminal, run sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude full-upgrade; and if you get errors out of it, paste the output of the whole mess into a pastebin, and then link us the url | 11:17 |

cwillu | ya, I'm bad for that actually | 11:20 |
cwillu | say, can you think of any way to tell what version of ubuntu was originally installed on a machine, before any sequence of dist-upgrades? | 11:21 |
kidalabama | cwillu: thank you | 11:21 |
cwillu | I'm trying to remember which version I started with on this machine | 11:21 |
Hobbsee | cwillu: err...good question | 11:21 |
Hobbsee | short of looking at dpkg.log...i'm not sure if that ever gets purged. | 11:22 |

DarkMageZ | cwillu, dapper. | 11:22 |
Hobbsee | ah,that works. | 11:22 |
* Hobbsee was assuming old kernels got removed | 11:23 | |
cwillu | yay for never purging kernels :p | 11:23 |
cwillu | unless they did a purge at dapper | 11:23 |
cwillu | but that sounds about right | 11:23 |

XiXaQ | can I ask you people to check something for me? There is a bug in evolution that most users experience. Actually, the only one I know who doesn't experience it, is running hardy, but in my hardy, I have the problem. Create a memo in evolution and select it from the memo list so you can see the content in the section below. Notice if it disappears in 1 minute or less. | 13:49 |
XiXaQ | that bug is driving me insane, and since I do appreciate my sanity, I'd very much like to find the cause of that bug to help someone fix it. | 13:51 |

XiXaQ | kicked myself, that is. | 14:22 |
mrsno | hehe :) | 14:23 |
mrsno | mooper maybe #kubuntu-devel | 14:23 |
mrsno | XiXaQ finally done :) i added a new memo, left clicked it and watching it now on the preview underneath | 15:16 |
mrsno | hasn't dissapeared (yet) | 15:16 |
mrsno | ok now it dissapears, after less than a minute | 15:16 |
mrsno | seems to be 30 seconds | 15:17 |
XiXaQ | :( | 15:19 |
XiXaQ | I think you'll find that it's a precise second. | 15:19 |
XiXaQ | I wish I could find out what happens in that moment. | 15:19 |
mrsno | so would this be more a wishlist bug XiXaQ ? as you would like the preview to stay active | 15:20 |
XiXaQ | I don't think it's designed that way. Why would it be? | 15:21 |
XiXaQ | for me, the memo view is severely limited by that bug, since I often write pretty long memos. | 15:22 |
mrsno | im not an evolution user, but i wonder is that an actual bug, as in should it be doing something else instead of preview going away after 30seconds-1minute | 15:26 |
mrsno | previewing a mail messages does stay previewed until you click away though | 15:28 |
XiXaQ | mrsno, yes. So does everything else. | 15:33 |
mrsno | so its only the memo that the preview goes away in hmm | 15:34 |
XiXaQ | mrsno, it's not a delay. It's a spesific second once every minute,. | 15:34 |
XiXaQ | that means, if you're unlucky, you only have one second to read it. | 15:34 |
mrsno | opening the memo at least it stays open, im not sure XiXaQ why it works different to mail previews though | 15:35 |
XiXaQ | yes, that only happens in memo view. It stays open between 1-59 seconds, depending on when you opened the memo. | 15:37 |

tifine | hello everybody | 19:39 |
tifine | i am using ubuntu 7.10 and want to upgrade to ubuntu8.04 can anybody guide me please ? is hardy is stable ? | 19:39 |
Pici | see topic, and no. | 19:40 |
ToHellWithGA | i would not try dist-upgrading, tifine | 19:40 |
tifine | why ? | 19:41 |
ToHellWithGA | even clean installs are a little buggy | 19:41 |
Pici | tifine: by definition an alpha is not stable. | 19:41 |
tifine | okie | 19:41 |
tifine | so it means no point of installing it | 19:41 |
ToHellWithGA | i hosed my gutsy install *after* downloading the hardy install disc when i tried dist-upgrading | 19:42 |
ToHellWithGA | when things are as unsteady as they are, dist-upgrading is not a good idea yet | 19:43 |
tifine | okie | 19:47 |
tifine | thnxs 4 helping me | 19:47 |
ToHellWithGA | if you want help after installing hardy, tifine, please come back | 19:48 |
ToHellWithGA | i'd recommend installing it as another OS rather than replacing your current (probably working) ubuntu | 19:49 |

slanning | hello - at some point a few weeks ago an annoying flashing thing related to the tracker (which I hate) started always appearing in my gnome panel - I tell it to quit every time I login, but how do I get it to go away forever? | 20:02 |
slanning | I turned off the "Indexing Options" in the preferences, tried to disable the tracker as much as possible | 20:03 |
slanning | I guess it's relatively minor today, though - since a handful of apps reported that they've crashed, cruelly asking me if I'd like to report the problem only to eventually not allow me to report anything without an account | 20:05 |
slanning | :D | 20:05 |
ToHellWithGA | get an account | 20:06 |
ToHellWithGA | www.launchpad.net | 20:06 |
ToHellWithGA | you can help :) | 20:06 |
slanning | I won't register on principle - requiring people to register for an account in order to report bugs is absurd, and I prefer whining uselessly about it | 20:07 |
selckin | resolving them often requires 2 way communication, waste of time if you don't follow up on it | 20:10 |
selckin | hence registering | 20:11 |
ToHellWithGA | when you register and submit a bug you receive email about changes to the bug and/or requests for more information | 20:12 |
ToHellWithGA | it's the difference between user and community member, the choice is yours | 20:13 |

Assid | heya | 20:53 |
Assid | im thinking of trying out hardy.. i dont mind an occassional break here and there to try and help .. but i really would like to have a system that works | 20:57 |
Assid | question is .. should i | 20:58 |
danbhfive | im guessing no | 21:03 |
danbhfive | i think that when they say "break", they mean you system doesn't boot anymore, and you have to reinstall | 21:04 |
danbhfive | *your | 21:04 |
Assid | hrmm damn | 21:05 |
Assid | will wait for beta then | 21:06 |

ompaul | Hi, can someone do this in hardy and let me know what happens: /etc/modprobe.d$ grep fb * | wc | 23:37 |
crimsun | 25 50 1397 | 23:38 |
ompaul | crimsun, thanks for that | 23:39 |
* ompaul goes off to be depressed ;-) | 23:39 | |
thoreauputic | so. is the framebuffer deprecated, hmm ??? | 23:39 |
ompaul | looks like it - or forced deprecation | 23:39 |
* thoreauputic waits for the kernel devs to back-pedal furiously... | 23:40 | |
ompaul | neva | 23:40 |
crimsun | ugh, I broke suspend-to-ram with CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G_OPT=y | 23:43 |
crimsun | oh well, I'll revert that next go-round. Not like I need suspend-to-* anyhow. | 23:43 |
ompaul | crimsun, :-) it is the reversion that counts | 23:44 |
crimsun | I wonder if we're mounting non-ext[23] with UTF-8 as applicable. Hmm. | 23:48 |
