[00:11] nautilus breaks on flash drive access [00:11] how so? [00:14] COLUMNS=150 dpkg -l nautilus|awk '/^ii/ {print $3}' [00:14] 1:2.21.6-0ubuntu1 [00:14] that version works fine here [00:14] crimsun! you pop up everywhere [00:14] anyway [00:15] I just accessed my flash drive, and the desktop is black since I closed the flash folder window [00:15] compiz enabled? [00:15] dri enabled? [00:15] (for the latter, /or binary-only restricted driver) [00:16] compiz [00:16] nvidia, never use dri [00:16] can you reproduce it on a fresh boot using the 'nv' X.Org driver? [00:18] I shudder to even think of trying [00:18] well, you need to. [00:18] rule out the graphics driver [00:20] there have been recent updates to nautilus, even as I type this [00:21] recent updates, have broken thinggs that have worked fine [00:21] nautilus, mythtvfrontend [00:21] xorg [00:21] I've been filing bugs all week [00:22] that's why I provided the version of nautilus I'm using [00:24] bug #185108 [00:24] Hardy still can't be properly updated from a fresh install of Alpha 3. [00:24] Launchpad bug 185108 in mythtv "/usr/bin/mythfrontend.real: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libmyth-0.20.2.so.0: undefined symbol: stat64" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/185108 [00:24] Hi [00:25] this was a gutsy install upgraded to alpha2 then updated from there [00:25] I'm currently trying to install xen in Hardy. But dependencies seem to be foobared. Specifically ubuntu-xen-desktop relies on a package called linux-xen which is unsatisfiable [00:25] oh, it works now. [00:25] * cdm10 shuts up [00:26] 1:2.21.6-0ubuntu1 [00:26] my nautilus version [00:27] blkorpheus: and it's reproducible on a fresh boot using "nv" instead of "nvidia"? [00:27] its this machine, so I have not rebooted [00:28] or killed x [00:30] Anyone tried to install xen in Hardy? [00:30] crimsun, after this latest update the issue is not there [00:31] blkorpheus: right, much as I thought. [00:31] The size of the flash drive on the desktop now reports 4g instead of the true 3.7G before [00:34] So, Xen anyone? [00:35] blkorpheus: Sure the units haven't changed? [00:35] I've learned silence is an acknowledgment in the negative [00:35] lol, yeap [00:35] blkorpheus: 4GiB ~= 3.7GB, from memory. [00:35] RAOF, the units increased? [00:35] ohh well I'll have to just figure it out. [00:36] I think not [00:36] its always been a 4g stick [00:36] the true size was reported before and by other distros [00:36] blkorpheus: Yeah, but what does the "G" mean. We've been transitioning from G = Gigabyte = 2^20 bytes to Gi = Gibibyte = 10^9(?) bytes. [00:37] I think it is just a genric name forthe volume [00:37] GB [00:37] the total capasity is 3,7GB [00:38] nautilus would crash after viewing the properties of the drive then closing [00:39] Wheee! Crashhappy nautilus. [00:39] its stable now [00:40] just wish I could get my mythfrontend working again [00:40] its still recording [00:40] soI can just use any viewer to watch the recordings [00:40] but for live tv, I can forget it [00:40] i had a permissions problem in nautilus one time that would cause my entire system to have its permissions changed root:root [00:42] lookslike the detailed view bug in nautiulsis gone [00:42] where the length of text determined the width of the column [00:43] one had to resize the column each time a visit to the folder was required [00:44] My update manager says that I have "broken packages". How do I fix them? [00:45] By not using Hardy, generally. [00:45] This is entirely expected as package versions change, new packages are added, etc. [00:45] RAOF: so, I can reboot my computer and not risk especial stability due to "broken" packages? [00:45] Indeed. [00:46] As long as you haven't *removed* anything critical. [00:46] It says that I can find which packages are broken using the "broken filter", but I've never used a broken filter before and don't know how. [00:47] It's in Synaptic somewhere. [00:47] in the bottom right corner of synaptic select custom filters [00:47] Basically it's likely to be fixed by updates. [00:47] broken is the first one [00:47] im sorry bottom left [00:47] Hmm, now it says 0 broken in Synaptic. [00:47] What are you trying to do/ [00:47] ? [00:48] Just investigating a dialog I got while upgrading, telling me that I have broken packages and that I can find them if I look. [00:48] Hardy certainly is error-prone, but I like filing bug reports, so it's all good. :-) [00:49] hmm. Doesn't it tell you to run a command? maybe sudo apt-get install -f [00:49] that should automagically fix it [00:51] Nope, didn't tell me to run a command. [01:17] hrm [01:18] my laptop sound stuff isn't set up properly [01:19] Does anyone else have an issue with X ignoring xorg.conf? [01:19] I want SHMConfig for Synaptics, and I have it in xorg.conf, but X totally ignores it. [01:20] I like the self-configuring 1.4 server, but that's a terrible regression. [01:20] Launchpad has some related bugs but no workarounds. [01:22] SeveredCross: X isn't ignoring *my* xorg.conf. [01:22] Weird. [01:22] SeveredCross: Want to compare? :) [01:22] Sure. Pastebin? [01:23] http://pastebin.ca/869279 [01:23] what's SHMConfig? [01:23] http://cooperteam.net/xorg.conf :P [01:23] wastrel: google it... [01:23] SHMConfig enables a shared memory area for the Synaptics driver, so that userland applications can change touchpad preferences. [01:23] wastrel: its a synaptics config for X [01:23] wastrel: to use touchpad.... [01:24] I think I'm missing ServerLayout. [01:24] SeveredCross: Aaah. It's probably ignoring your synaptics section because you don't reference it anywhere. [01:24] i have synaptics [01:24] Heh. Great minds think alike. [01:24] And it might be using your mouse section for its input needs. [01:24] but i don't really need to configure it, the defaults are fine [01:25] You can either try adding a ServerLayout, or remove your mouse section. [01:25] I just despise Tap to Click. [01:25] And I like it :). [01:26] * RAOF adds syndaemon control interface for gsynaptics to his TODO. [01:26] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168581&page=3 [01:28] Okay, the changes have been made, now it's time for an X restart. [01:30] Much better. :) [01:30] ah tap to click [01:30] i added an option to turn that off once [01:30] now i have a thinkpad with the touchpoint thing so i don't use the touchpad normally except for scrolling [01:31] GSynaptics works fine for me. :) QSynaptics also works, but is not as nicely integrated. [01:31] With syndaemon, it's perfect. [01:31] It shouldn't be too hard to add a little checkbox to gsynaptics with "disable touchpad while typing" and a delay thingy. [01:32] Also, <3 radeonhd. [01:32] Maybe there's no 3D acceleration yet, but damn it's nice to be free from the clutches of fglrx. [01:32] ah that's the new radeon driver? [01:32] Yup. [01:33] Works great, except for a few minor things that aren't really visible. [01:33] yeah i'm looking forward to that, my work computer has a radeon card [01:33] For some insane reason it adds a lot of noise across the VT's, but they know that happens and are working on a fix, and there's no 3D acceleration which kinda sucks (I was looking forward to Compiz with a free driver) but that'll get worked out in time. [01:50] Where'd the option to enable NTP go in the clock settings? [01:52] Oh, it's in System>Admin>Time and Date. Why does the context menu of the clock applet no longer go to that? [01:53] How can I do to include a new jack version in Hardy release? [01:57] !ubotu slub [01:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about slub - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:59] !ubotu jack [01:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about jack - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:59] !ubotu jackd [01:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about jackd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:00] HellMind: In increasing order of effort and likelyhood of action: (1) file a "needs upgrade" bug against jack on launchpad. (2) Find out whether Debian has a newer jack, and add that info to the needs-upgrade bug. (3a) if there is a newer debian version, work out whether the new debian version builds on Hardy, and ask for a sync (read the wiki!). (3b) Update the Debian package with the new jack version. [02:01] HellMind: In any case, it's getting progressively more unlikely that jack will be updated - we're approaching feature freeze, so new upstream versions are soon going to require a very good reason to be accepted. [02:01] Where should I report a problem with the time-admin program? [02:01] I'm not sure what package it's in. [02:07] RAOF Where is the wiki, and does it explain how to add a "needs upgrade" bug? [02:08] !contribute [02:08] To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [02:09] HellMind: But you really want to be looking at wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [02:09] Since jack is in Universe. [02:10] hrm [02:10] well my little package bug is probably not going to get fixed then eh :] === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [02:21] isn't jack being replaced by pulseaudio ? [02:21] also I posted an email on the devel mailing list, how long should I wait before bugging for a reply ? [02:21] it's a simple thing and I would like it to be done before the feature freeze [02:22] Jack and Pulseaudio actually have different purposes. [02:22] Oh yeah, I hate the new CFS scheduler. [02:22] It makes my Nice +19 and SCHED_IDLEPRIO folding@home processes take up half of my CPU time. [02:22] It's essentially IGNORING nice levels and IDLEPRIO. [02:22] Apparently, it's "by design". [02:23] I'm having trouble with my ATI graphics card. I have fglrx installed, but the module is not being loaded and there is no entry for it in my xorg.conf [02:23] can anyone answer my question about the mailing list ? [02:25] It almost seems like nice levels have been inverted.... [02:25] BlackDiamonds: That depends. You posted to devel-discuss, yes? THere'll be a bit of a ait for moderation (I think), then just wait, basically. [02:25] my nice -19 "cat /dev/null process is getting fr [02:25] BlackDiamonds: What was the email? [02:26] I think xorg is configuring my graphics card settings wrong. How do I fix a problem like that? [02:26] My xorg.conf is here: http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/53108/ [02:28] RAOF I posted to devel [02:28] not devel-discuss [02:29] Any particular reason? devel-discuss is probably the more appropriate list. [02:29] Argh, how is it that a +19 idle process is getting more priority than compiz, which is zero nice? [02:29] oh shoot [02:29] That seems broken to me. [02:29] some one told me the other day to post on devel [02:29] Oh? [02:29] They may have been right. [02:29] Has your email cleared moderation? [02:30] I think so [02:30] it's in the archive [02:30] Right. So which one is it? [02:31] Subject: Package linux-wlan-ng should be installed by default [02:31] Ah, that one. [02:31] it would be really nice to see this fixed before the next alpha [02:32] it's not very hard to do anyways, a simple change in the livecd builing and such [02:32] https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/boinc/+bug/177713 [02:32] Launchpad bug 177713 in boinc "CFS in 2.6.24 kernel needs cpu_share adjustment for "niced" processes" [Medium,Confirmed] [02:32] Used to be titled better. [02:32] DanaG, isn't this an upstream bug ? [02:32] It's also in Ubuntu. [02:33] BlackDiamonds: Ah, right. That seems to make sense. Maybe you can ask in #ubuntu-devel after another day or so. [02:33] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/177713 [02:33] Launchpad bug 177713 in boinc "CFS in 2.6.24 kernel needs cpu_share adjustment for "niced" processes" [Medium,Confirmed] [02:33] Oddly, it says "is not in ubuntu". [02:33] What's up with that? [02:33] thank you RAOF [02:33] I will pipe up in there in a day or so [02:35] Running folding@home even niced to +19 and idle priority is somehow still chopping my framerate in compiz-fusion in half. [02:35] It's also inducing a moderately irritating key lag. [02:37] DanaG: Obviously that means you should't run folding@home. :-) [02:38] No, it means the 2.6.24 kernel's new scheduler is a regression. [02:38] (yeah, I know you were joking.) [02:41] -4-server is broken [02:42] fails during usb hardware detection === Rubin_ is now known as rubin [03:18] I'm about to report a bug on ubuntu-xen-desktop meta package. This is due to an error I recieved while trying to install it using synaptic. The error reads ubuntu-xen-desktop: Depends: linux-xen but it is uninstallable. Linux-xen is not in the repos... any suggestions? [03:19] ok its posted [03:20] Spenser309: that's usually tracked in other ways [03:35] I am having trouble with xorg's configuration of my 3D card. It doesn't have any entry for it in xorg.conf and glxinfo reports that direct rendering is not enabled, which shouldn't be true. lsmod doesn't show any driver for my card loaded, which also doesn't make sense. === thedjatclubrock is now known as theawaydj === theawaydj is now known as tdjacr|sleep [03:57] RyanPrior: Have you tried checking out System->Screens & Graphics? [03:57] Oh, there should be an ->Administration-> in there. [03:57] RAOF: it's completely blank. [03:58] RAOF: In fact, it just crashed and Apport came up. [03:59] Right. Well, there's at least one bug for you to file, then :) [04:00] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/displayconfig-gtk/+bug/146929 [04:00] Launchpad bug 146929 in displayconfig-gtk "displayconfig-gtk crashed with UnboundLocalError in __init__()" [Undecided,Fix released] [04:00] The bug by the same name has already been fixed in 2007. Suppose it's a regression? [04:00] ooh it's written in python? [04:01] I suppose so. [04:01] crdlb: Yup. [04:02] I didn't mean to put a '?' :) [04:02] Official language of Ubuntu(tm) :) [04:03] Okay, I filed a new bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/displayconfig-gtk/+bug/185253 [04:03] Can one of you guys confirm it? [04:03] Or does the program open up fine for oyu? [04:04] Works just fine here. But I've got a pretty complete xorg.conf. [04:05] Mine is really bare-bones. [04:06] And it's exactly what dkpg-reconfigure recreates for xorg when I reconfigure. [04:06] Yeah; X now should autodetect very nearly everything, so... [04:07] RAOF: Would you mind letting dpkg reconfigure your xorg.conf and then running the program? [04:13] Ok. [04:13] Someone should make git cloning the kernel faster. [04:14] I think it's already pretty fast as cvs goes. [04:14] put it on bzr! [04:14] I think bzr might be slower. [04:14] On the other hand, it *might* be faster now, at least for whatc I'm doing. [04:14] I gotta go. Check you guys later. [04:15] Git still hasn't finished thrashing the Ubuntu server. [04:15] From everything I've heard, git is much faster for large projects like the Linux kernel. [04:15] RAOF: that was a joke :P [04:15] I guessed. [04:15] * DanaG wants the old scheduler back. [04:15] CFS sucks with 'nice' loads. [04:16] i started using git after watching linus's famous git talk @ google [04:16] well, i didn't watch at google, i watched the video, the talk was at google [04:20] You know, bzr *may* be faster than git for cloning the kernel. [05:29] hi all, does anybody know of the command as to how to find which package is responsible for some command/some bin file ? [05:29] /usr/lib/command-not-found [05:30] pass the command name as the first argument. [05:32] DanaG: I think I was not right, ok, lemme take the example which will clearly illustrate what i wanna do [05:33] DanaG: for example, I know xrandr is a virtual package but the command works [05:34] so the command /usr/bin/xrandr is packaged somewhere else, I wanna know in which package it came. [05:34] dpkg -S /usr/bin/xrandr [05:34] or use apt-file [05:35] crdlb: thanx, would try both of them. [05:37] Apt-file doesn't work in Hardy. [05:39] bye guys, see u sometime soon [05:57] does anyone have a problem in hardy where compiz window borders do not appear? I cant figure it out, i always revert to metacity === ajmorris|AFK is now known as ajmorris [06:02] oops [06:09] will hardy be released for the PS3? [06:10] a better question would be: who will get hardy on the ps3 first? :} [06:12] ah, i see [06:12] how long did it take to get gutsy on the PS3 after the final release? [06:24] think it was on there during beta :} [06:25] cool. thanks :) [06:37] hmm, I recently did a clean install of Hardy and now I'm having some trouble getting my wacom tablet to work, I've updated the installation and am current with the repository. When I add the InputDevice sections back to xorg.conf and readd the serverlayout section, the x server crashes and restarts GDM when I log in, but the tablet seems to work okay before that [06:37] has anyone experienced anything similar?

[16:49] The Tracker site doesn't seem to have any working links for ISO download. [16:49] tracker site? [16:50] The ISO Trackers site, through Ubuntu.com. [16:51] http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ [16:52] From the looks of the Tracker site, no one has tested the SPARC server edition yet. [16:52] Unless there's another tracking area I'm not aware of? [16:52] Has anyone been testing SPARC? [16:56] what package do I install for testing firefox3 [16:56] Technoviking, firefox-3.0 [17:12] Does pulseaudio lag for anybody? If I change the volume in an application, or pause it, etc, it takes half a second or so to respond === x-spec-t is now known as Spec === Am|NickTaken is now known as Amaranth [17:39] Oli``: in what apps does this occur? [17:40] kripken: It seems to effect all streams. [17:40] Oli``: Then no, it works fine over here. Pause/restart in totem is instantaneous (VLC lags on some media... but it always did, no idea why) [17:42] My bad. Totem works fine. I think it's perhaps effecting ALSA applications that are running into an ALSA sink in PA [17:43] Amarok (for example) is one such app. Xine, another. [17:44] That might be. I don't have Amarok here to test. But Totem and xmms are fine [18:36] I've a very hot laptop! Does one of powernowd, powersaved adjust the fan speed as well as the cpu freq scaling, or is there another deamon/kernel mod involved? [19:09] What's the best way of stopping apt installing recommended pkgs when installing a package? I've set the aptitude option to not do it, but it still does. [19:14] mrtimdog, fan speed is an acpi function, and installing recommended packages is a good idea, as dependencies come into play [19:15] mrtimdog, it's not as if the recommended packages really take up all that much space [19:17] Thanks, silent. So the temp control (via ACPI) is not controlled by software? [19:17] mrtimdog, it can be, by editing config files, but I have to go for nwo [19:19] I know recommended pkgs are a good idea, but I've 4G for my OS (exluding /home) and it's nearly full. Anyone else any ideas on how to configure apt not to install recommended packages? [19:25] mrtimdog, software sources and uncheck recommended [19:26] Hi bardyr: No, that's for enabling/disabling the repo for recommended updates. [19:27] oh, yea :/ [19:27] Just found the solution. Had to remove the config file /etc/apt/apt.cond.d/01ubuntu installed by apt which contains the config for these specific options :) [19:28] Thanks for looking though :) [19:30] is Screen and Graphics control panel empty for everyone else also? [19:32] yes [19:36] Will Hardy be a good choice to switch to amd64 from 32-bit for a regular desktop user, web (flash and such stuff)? [19:38] yea [19:39] nubbe, all the flash thingies and other needed 32bit apps are installed so its almost no hassle [19:41] There has been problems with oo.org, some printers-drivers also, in the past [19:41] but I will probably give it a go this time, (again) :) === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [19:55]
