| alex_mayorga | How can I isolate kubunut packages from ubuntu ones if I've installed both ubuntu and kubuntu desktops? Is there a way to "clean" the icons that "spilled" when I installed kubuntu-desktop from my GNOME session?? | 01:47 |
| Tomcat_ | alex_mayorga: You can install debfoster, run it, and then remove all packages that don't seem to belong to regular ubuntu. | 01:48 |
| Tomcat_ | alex_mayorga: That will remove all dependencies as well, and won't ask for most ubuntu packages. | 01:48 |
| alex_mayorga | Tomcat_, thanks on the advice, seems like I'm not getting my idea through | 01:50 |
| alex_mayorga | problem at hand is I wanted to see the KDE side of things so I went and installed kubunutu-desktop, but now my GNOME menus are "polluted" with KDE stuff and viceversa | 01:51 |
| Tomcat_ | alex_mayorga: And it should be enough to just remove those KDE packages I think. | 01:52 |
| alex_mayorga | bassically I'd like a way to have only KDE stuff (icons) to show if I chose KDE for my session and the other way around | 01:52 |
| Tomcat_ | Ah, alright. | 01:52 |
| Tomcat_ | Well, can't help with that. | 01:52 |
| alex_mayorga | just that I don't wanted removed, just not to show, this is a blueprint maybe | 01:53 |

| tumbleweed__ | mohkohn : nope, you have to use the package from debian sid | 02:40 |
| mohkohn | thanks tumbleweed__ | 02:41 |
| wastrel | it was the desktop wall compiz plugin | 02:55 |

| DarkMageZ | Cavallo, what size is your screen? | 06:16 |
| DanaG | Actually, that looks like gnome-settings-daemon isn't running. | 06:16 |
| Cavallo | 1280-1024 | 06:16 |
| DarkMageZ | Cavallo, 17" 19" 21" 30" ? | 06:17 |
| Cavallo | ups, sorry, 19 | 06:17 |
| DanaG | google for 'javascript dpi calculator' and make sure the Gnome setting is right. | 06:17 |
| Cavallo | gnome ? | 06:17 |
| DanaG | n/m. | 06:17 |
| DarkMageZ | 19" should be ok on that res then. but yeah. gnome-settings-daemon is what you need | 06:18 |
| DanaG | (what do you mean by, "gnome?") | 06:18 |
| Cavallo | hummm mybe Im on the wrong channel :P Because some peoples said to me that for hardy I must ask here but Im using kubuntu hardy ... | 06:18 |
| DanaG | Aah. | 06:18 |
| DanaG | You're using kde. Perhaps you need the gtk-qt-engine installed. | 06:18 |
| DanaG | Or if using kde4, then GTK apps are simply ugly. I didn't use KDE4 long enough to bother trying to fix that. | 06:19 |
| DanaG | (I didn't like KDE4, because it made my 17" 1440x900 laptop feel like a 12" 1280x800 (or smaller) laptop. | 06:19 |
| Cavallo | Id have the same problems in kde4 and kde3.5 | 06:20 |
| Cavallo | I remember that onece I have restarted the comp. the fonts were ok but next time again were crappy and so are now :/ Dunno what to do. If I turn on antialiasing then its better but then are fonts looking much bigger and they are looks like they were bolded :/ Sorry for my English :) | 06:23 |
| DarkMageZ | yeah, the applications you are complaining about are gtk/gnome applications. you need to start gnome-settings-daemon | 06:23 |
| Cavallo | but the fonts are the same in all kde apps, here in konversation, kopete, kontact etc. | 06:24 |

| ryanpg | hi, was just told fglrx + aiglx won't currently work with hardy, any workarounds? | 08:02 |
| ryanpg | hi crdlb :) | 08:02 |
| crdlb | hai | 08:02 |
| ryanpg | crdlb, do you know where lack of aiglx support for xserver 1.4 is documented? I can't find anything on the website | 08:10 |
| ryanpg | everything suggest 1.4 is simply supported - except that it doesn't work of course | 08:11 |
| ryanpg | :) | 08:11 |
| crdlb | ryanpg: well here's someone suffering from the same issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=664202&highlight=fglrx+hardy+AIGLX | 08:20 |
| crdlb | very few people are using 1.4 yet so it's not a very well-known problem | 08:20 |
| crdlb | but if ATI doesn't fix it *really* soon, it's about to enter the spotlight ;) | 08:21 |

| ubotu | Launchpad bug 177713 in boinc "2.6.24-2: Regression with idle cpu cycle handling" [Medium,Invalid] | 08:31 |
| DanaG | completely fair scheduler, my ________. | 08:32 |
| DanaG | I don't call it fair for the kernel to give half my CPU time to a process that asks specifically for "only spare CPU cycles". | 08:32 |
| DarkMageZ | that bug shouldn't be invalid either... someone needs to take responsibility for it. | 08:32 |
| DanaG | Well, now that I made a new user for folding (never had to do that before.......), and set it to a really low share, the impact on compiz-fusion is less severe, but still present. | 08:33 |
| DanaG | Without folding@home running, I get a nice vsynced 60 FPS. With folding running, I'm now getting about 45 FPS. | 08:34 |
| DanaG | c r i m s u n: do you have any insight on this issue? (I'm leaving spaces in your name so it doesn't ping you, so you can answer it whenever you happen to read it.) | 08:40 |
| DanaG | Oh, and odd: "Bug #177713 is not in Ubuntu" | 08:41 |

| kripken | Speaking of the CFS, how are people impressed with it so far? | 08:43 |
| DanaG | I'm not (though you probably already know that from my bug report). | 08:50 |
| DanaG | s/not/not at all impressed/ | 08:50 |
| kripken | DanaG: Yeah, I suspected as much :) . Myself, I don't have any hard evidence, but my experience is that Hardy with CFS is less responsive for desktop use. Especially on slow CPUs | 08:57 |
| DanaG | I actually have a Core Duo 1.83GHz, and when I was running folding as root, it made my system feel slower than an old p2 266 I have around here. | 08:58 |
| DanaG | If I say "idle cycles only!", I don't expect that thing to eat half my CPU time, even if it IS run as root. | 08:58 |
| kripken | well, based on the responses to the bug, *part* of the issue is that Ubuntu configured CFS with that group option. However, since this occurs also when using the same user... it's a serious problem | 08:59 |
| DanaG | Even if it's 'by design', the subjective behavior is a major regression. | 08:59 |
| kripken | yes | 09:00 |
| kripken | Perhaps removing the grouping option will solve it | 09:00 |
| DanaG | I think "idle cycles only" processes should get ALL and ONLY the cycles not needed by anybody else. | 09:00 |
| DanaG | I also still use the old deskbar applet, not the new desk-button-that-opens-a-window applet. | 09:01 |
| kripken | how is that related? | 09:01 |
| DanaG | It's on the theme of regressions that are 'by design'. | 09:02 |
| kripken | oh, ok (I don't use the deskbar, so didn't notice any change) | 09:02 |
| kripken | what annoys me is that when e.g. I compile in the background, on a 1GHz CPU I get sound and video stuttering, which I didn't get on previous Ubuntu versions | 09:03 |
| DanaG | Hmm, since I changed the 'folding' user's CPU share, I see less of a performance hit, but it's definitely still there. | 09:03 |
| DanaG | Heh, trying to delete .Trash from within baobab: | 09:05 |
| DanaG | Could not move ".Trash" to the Trash | 09:05 |

| smallfoot- | i thought it would be same like 7.10 but with new versions | 15:26 |

| nanonyme | smallfoot-, do you know what the concept of alpha is? | 15:27 |
| nanonyme | it's supposed to be buggy | 15:29 |
| nanonyme | heck, if it wasn't buggy, there'd be no reason really to do alpha's and beta's. you could just release right away | 15:30 |

| nanonyme | hydrogen, my point was that if it says alpha or beta, you should be prepared to do bug hunting | 15:37 |
| hydrogen | unless the alpha or beta is prefixed by Google | 15:37 |
| bazhang | haha | 15:37 |
| nanonyme | since in software development terms that means there are a lot of bugs | 15:37 |

| scizzo- | smallfoot-: maybe because its a work in progress to make it standard browser | 16:53 |
| void^ | ff3 isn't released yet, there's only betas out. would be a little unwise to update regular firefox to a beta snapshot. | 16:54 |

| scizzo- | smallfoot-: I am not even sure that all the plugins work for firefox 3 yet | 16:54 |
| scizzo- | smallfoot-: since it is still beta releases of that browser also. | 16:55 |
| smallfoot- | scizzo-, but if i have to install it, its kinda not there | 16:55 |
| WorkingOnWise | cool. I have wanted to take it for a drive, but I already know that like 90% of my extentions don't work in ff3 yet, and I live for some of those extentions.... | 16:55 |
| scizzo- | smallfoot-: like I said....work in progress | 16:56 |

| Assid | okay i broke gutsy big time | 19:26 |
| Assid | i think i should participate in helping with hardy.. atleast when thats released it might not do funny things on my laptop | 19:27 |
| Assid | err.. how "broken" is hardy atm? can X atleast be used? | 19:27 |
| gunashekar | I am using hardy alpha on my laptop | 19:28 |
| WorkingOnWise | with the latest update to Xorg, my nvidia drivers finally work, sorta. | 19:28 |
| gunashekar | most applications seem to be working | 19:28 |
| Assid | WorkingOnWise: im using an old dell d600 and my compiz keeps breaking | 19:28 |
| WorkingOnWise | what video | 19:29 |
| Assid | thinkng if i participate. theres a good chance the final product will work fine for me atleast | 19:29 |

| gunashekar | Assid: If you do not have any critical data on you laptop , i don't see why not | 19:29 |
| Assid | gunashekar: atm.. only using it for irc/msn.. and remote desktop | 19:30 |
| Assid | but i do need a valid X interface incase i go for a meet.. (rare) | 19:30 |
| Assid | okay hook me up.. lets check it out | 19:30 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, one thing that IS screwed up in Hardy: battery reporting. | 19:31 |
| Assid | oh crap.. i use battery quite a bit | 19:31 |
| Assid | is it anywhere near 10% accurate? | 19:31 |
| gunashekar | Assid: I am using hardy alpha on my laptop , both Gnome and Xfce are working nicely, I have installed ubuntu studio as well and am able to run most applications | 19:31 |
| Assid | or am i working on guess work? | 19:31 |
| WorkingOnWise | Assid: i wont be much help with ati. I bought a nvidia laptop because the ati in my last one was such a pita. however, the last O knew, firegl's were very bad news on compiz. | 19:31 |

| Assid | let me update my sources.list | 19:33 |
| Assid | just change gutsy to hardy right? | 19:33 |

| WorkingOnWise | anyone have a working java plugin? | 19:37 |
| WorkingOnWise | for ff2? | 19:37 |
| Assid | wish i could force apt to use 5 simultanous connections | 19:37 |
| wastrel | java works here | 19:39 |
| WorkingOnWise | wastrel: what plugin do u use? | 19:39 |
| lemonade | java+amd64=pain | 19:39 |
| WorkingOnWise | oh yeah...i'm on and64....big pite atm for some things | 19:39 |
| WorkingOnWise | pite=pita | 19:40 |
| Assid | err.. mirrors are slow | 19:40 |
| Assid | only 17K/sec | 19:40 |
| wastrel | hah sry that's a flash thing on java.com | 19:40 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, I had to install java7. | 19:41 |
| DanaG | Java6 doesn't get along with libxcb. | 19:41 |
| WorkingOnWise | what is the curent "right" way to install 32bit firefox | 19:41 |
| DanaG | Assid: what country are you in? | 19:41 |
| DanaG | Try using a different source, such as mirrors.kernel.org if in USA. | 19:41 |
| WorkingOnWise | DanaG: are u on amd64? | 19:41 |
| DanaG | Large universities and such seem to have better connections. | 19:41 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, I'm on 32-bit, actually. | 19:42 |
| === DrPHP is now known as Assid | ||
| WorkingOnWise | hehe...yeah, cuz the students are busy dl'ing movies amd music! | 19:42 |
| Assid | woops | 19:42 |
| WorkingOnWise | DanaG: ah, ok. | 19:42 |
| Assid | my bad.. was on the wrong gateway | 19:42 |
| DanaG | Well, residential networking, at least at Cal Poly, is separate from the labs side. | 19:42 |
| DanaG | I love going into the lab, plugging into GbE, and downloading updates at 30 megabytes per second. | 19:43 |
| WorkingOnWise | DanaG: thay actually have different pipes for each? | 19:43 |
| wastrel | yeah java not working here | 19:43 |
| wastrel | plugin anyway | 19:44 |
| WorkingOnWise | wastrel: yup...have to wait still... | 19:44 |
| DanaG | I don't actually know the topology, but they wouldn't pipe the computer-sci department through residential. Residential is most likely a branch of its own. | 19:44 |
| WorkingOnWise | what is the curent "right" way to install 32bit firefox on an AMD64 system? | 19:44 |
| wastrel | is there a bug in about java plugin? | 19:47 |
| wastrel | not that i see | 19:48 |
| Assid | okay updatemaneger is saying i can only run a partial upgrade | 19:48 |
| Assid | "not all upgrades can be insalled" | 19:48 |
| nanonyme | hmm, where's the release schedule for hardy? | 19:48 |
| Assid | nanonyme: 6 month from gutsy release | 19:49 |
| Assid | so when did gutsy releasE? | 19:49 |
| wastrel | 7.10 | 19:49 |
| nanonyme | i meant the schedule map | 19:49 |
| nanonyme | i don't remember the link | 19:49 |
| kripken | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule | 19:50 |
| nanonyme | right, thanks | 19:50 |
| nanonyme | going to be a lot of alpha's | 19:50 |
| Assid | whats a developer sprint? | 19:51 |
| * Assid watches the upgrade take place | 19:51 | |
| Assid | only 2 hours 35 mins to go | 19:52 |
| Assid | lol | 19:52 |
| Assid | should i just download the iso disc | 19:52 |
| nanonyme | maybe developer sprint is irl activities? ^^ | 19:52 |
| Assid | irl ? | 19:53 |
| nanonyme | in real life | 19:53 |
| nanonyme | that is, dev'd go running together somewhere | 19:53 |
| nanonyme | devs'd even | 19:54 |
| Assid | i need more bandwth | 19:54 |
| Assid | so im going from unstable 7.10 to alpha 8.10 | 19:55 |
| Assid | err.. 8.04 | 19:55 |
| nanonyme | contact your ISP? ;) | 19:55 |
| nanonyme | i'm sure they want to give you more bandwidth if you pay more | 19:55 |
| Assid | yeah well no unlimited usages | 19:55 |
| nanonyme | hum | 19:55 |
| selckin | find a better mirror | 19:55 |
| Assid | selckin: isp goes faster if i have multiple threads | 19:56 |
| nanonyme | it will go even faster if you get a faster connection ;) | 19:56 |
| * nanonyme got 8/1 a while ago | 19:57 | |
| Assid | sweet | 19:57 |
| Assid | maybe i should upgrade tomorrow | 19:57 |
| nanonyme | nowadays the speed limitation is my adsl modem | 19:58 |
| nanonyme | it can't get downloads faster than 750 kilobytes per second at constant | 19:58 |
| Assid | hrmm | 19:58 |
| Assid | currently doing 163K/sec | 19:59 |
| nanonyme | s/at/a/ | 19:59 |
| Assid | 1 hr 34 mins to go | 19:59 |
| Assid | honestly. there shoul dbe better support for LCD's | 19:59 |
| Assid | LCD's have a refresh rate too | 19:59 |
| Assid | generally upto 75hz | 19:59 |
| nanonyme | the refresh rate in LCD's is mostly irrelevant | 19:59 |
| Assid | err.. no | 20:00 |
| Assid | i find alot of difference between 60/75 | 20:00 |
| nanonyme | err.. yes. it's not an electron cannon which will break your eyes with too low refresh rates | 20:00 |
| Assid | lower refresh rates slowly hurt my eyes.. | 20:01 |
| nanonyme | like crt's are | 20:01 |
| Assid | even on lcd | 20:01 |
| Assid | when i get some cash.. thinking of the dell 22" ultrasharp lcd | 20:02 |
| Assid | currently on 17"CRT on my desktop | 20:02 |
| nanonyme | i don't use any crt's anymore except at work | 20:02 |
| Assid | why use crt's there? | 20:02 |
| nanonyme | at work i have 21" crt with 1600x1200@85Hz | 20:03 |
| Assid | sweett | 20:03 |
| Assid | i want one of those | 20:03 |
| Assid | mine does only 1024x768 @85 | 20:03 |
| Assid | one day i plan to move my desktop to linux too | 20:04 |
| Assid | too man unstable and alot of apps required for my usage to wanna shift | 20:04 |
| Assid | and everything said and done. wine has a long way to go | 20:04 |
| === macd_ is now known as macd | ||
| Assid | the other day i wanted to do some development with monodevelop. unfortunately it was different than sharpdevelop | 20:05 |
| Assid | so just got annoyed | 20:06 |
| Assid | also the usage of compiz breaks wine apps as such | 20:07 |
| Assid | and GL apps | 20:07 |
| === burne1 is now known as burner | ||
| WorkingOnWise | wow is there an anoying feature in awn with ff3! | 20:26 |
| WorkingOnWise | during a dl' awn pops up a tooltip of the percent completed about every 2 seconds! | 20:26 |
| DanaG | Last CRT I used was 19"; I used it ah 1280x960 at 85Hz. | 20:28 |
| nanonyme | i'd rather use 1280x1024 | 20:28 |
| DanaG | I'd also use 100Hz, but it whined horribly, and I think that's what made the convergence become so bad after not very long of owning it. | 20:28 |
| nanonyme | your resolution might lead into aspect ratio problems | 20:28 |
| DanaG | Actually, 1280x960 is 4:3. | 20:29 |
| DanaG | 1280x1024 is 5:4. | 20:29 |
| nanonyme | hmm... | 20:29 |
| nanonyme | true | 20:30 |
| WorkingOnWise | is there any real performance gain to running 64bit ff2 or ff3? | 20:30 |
| nanonyme | now that you mentioned it, you're right | 20:31 |
| nanonyme | though 1280x1024 looks a lot better than 1280x960 on this tft | 20:32 |
| DanaG | That's because such LCDs really are 5:4. | 20:33 |
| nanonyme | ah, right | 20:33 |
| nanonyme | all of them? | 20:33 |
| DanaG | Most 17" and 19" LCDs are either 1280x1024 or 1440x900. | 20:33 |
| DanaG | Except in notebooks, that is.... there you can get 1920x1200 at even 15 inch, which seems edging on silly to me. | 20:34 |
| Assid | WorkingOnWise: awn? | 20:34 |
| Assid | the dock? | 20:34 |
| nanonyme | DanaG, what if it can't do a resolution as high as 1280x1024? | 20:34 |
| Assid | i need a new lcd screen for my desktop.. 1024x768@85 sucks | 20:34 |
| nanonyme | since 1024x768 would be wrong aspect ratio according to what you said | 20:35 |
| DanaG | It depends on the LCD itself. Whatever the physical resolution, you want to match it. | 20:35 |
| nanonyme | it would need to be something like 1024x819 or so | 20:36 |
| nanonyme | myeah | 20:36 |
| Assid | btw did hardy fix that ntfs-3g bug? | 20:36 |
| WorkingOnWise | Assyup . Avant Window Manger | 20:36 |
| Assid | WorkingOnWise: sweet.. always wanted to use that | 20:37 |
| WorkingOnWise | it's cool, just no extra applets for it. | 20:37 |
| Assid | apparently if you use an external drive with ntfs.. and you enable the ntfs-write for external through ntfs-config it doesnt do anything | 20:37 |
| WorkingOnWise | just the launcher | 20:37 |
| Assid | you need to copy the hal files | 20:37 |
| Assid | WorkingOnWise: yeah i know. gives it the mac look | 20:38 |
| nanonyme | DanaG, so should i start measuring myself or is that told in some specs? | 20:38 |
| DanaG | It's most likely written somewhere. | 20:38 |
| Assid | man.. my sister is hooked on ubuntu | 20:38 |
| Assid | i told her to move back to windows.. just to pull her leg and well to have her stop bugging me for stupid things.. she just outright refused | 20:39 |
| Assid | and was all pissed off about it like it was a bigggg thing | 20:39 |
| DanaG | I have several things that make me stick with Ubuntu as my primary OS. | 20:39 |
| DanaG | One big one: font rendering. I can't stand Cleartype. | 20:39 |
| Assid | cleartype and subpixel rendering is the same thing right? | 20:40 |
| DanaG | Boot windows: eyes hurt after not very long. Boot Ubuntu: can read all day with no issues. | 20:40 |
| Assid | btw "appearance" is broken.. it just gets stuck | 20:40 |
| DanaG | Well, cleartype is one method, but there are some other methods. I don't know the details. | 20:40 |
| Assid | this is on gutsy btw | 20:41 |
| DanaG | Another thing: nice visual styles. I'm currently using Fedora's "Nodoka" theme, but with a much less "so bright I need sunglasses" blue. | 20:42 |
| DanaG | I like orange, but this theme doesn't seem to work with any shade of orange I've tried. | 20:42 |
| Assid | if you can get all my work to run perfectly with wine | 20:43 |
| Assid | i might move my desktop | 20:43 |
| DanaG | Try XP in Virtualbox. | 20:43 |
| Assid | not the same :9 | 20:43 |
| Assid | rather use native then | 20:43 |
| DanaG | Depends on the nature of work, that is. AutoCAD, for example, won't work, of course. | 20:43 |
| Assid | i got good hardware. but stupid thing slows down cause of the software :( | 20:44 |
| Assid | DanaG: i really want dreamweaver latest and other stuff on it | 20:45 |
| Assid | i got tons of legit software.. including windows | 20:45 |

| gunashekar | not worth it Assid | 21:08 |
| gunashekar | there are so many daily updates | 21:09 |
| Assid | hrmm true | 21:09 |
| Assid | gonna see if i can sit for 1/2 hr more | 21:10 |
| Assid | else will shut it down and continue tomorrow | 21:10 |
| emet | hry | 21:10 |
| Assid | hopefully compiz will still work | 21:10 |
| DanaG | Hmm, if I'm on AC, suspend and resume work pretty reliably, but if I'm on battery, resume never works. | 21:11 |
| Assid | err.. isnt it suspended to ram? | 21:11 |
| Assid | how should it matter between AC/battery? | 21:11 |
| DanaG | Beats me. | 21:12 |
| DanaG | I wish the packaged compiz-fusion had more of the inside-the-cube plugins. | 21:13 |
