DanaGAnybody know what the "trousers" TPM subsystem can be used for?01:28
DanaGOh yeah, I noticed something about the following two packages:01:28
DanaG!info jaaa japa01:28
ubotujaaa (source: jaaa): audio signal generator and spectrum analyser. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.2-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 37 kB, installed size 176 kB01:28
DanaGThey don't get along with pulseaudio, or even with my bare hda-intel device.  The apps demand mmap.01:29
DanaGWTF?  No applets for AWN.  That's lame.01:44
wastrelawn is from google01:45
DanaGI mean, it doesn't COME with any applets.01:48
DanaGAt least in the Hardy packaged version, that is.01:48
Solarionany idea what's up with nautilus + libeel2?01:49
crimsunthese questions are insanely vague.01:50
RAOFDanaG: Thank you for reminding me.  I need to review the applets package on REVU01:52
crimsunugh, dinner, then more hacking.01:53

mohbanahi, i want to try out ubuntu but i have a few questions02:07
DanaGIf you're new to Linux, avoid Hardy.02:07
DanaGBut if you're just new to this distro specifically, you should at least give yourself a chance to become accustomed to apt and dpkg and such, if you haven't used them before.02:08
wastreldistro02:09
Solarionless vague: nautilus seems to require libeel2-2 >= 2.21.5 but 2.20.0-2ubuntu1 is to be installed.02:10
Solarionhence nautilus is being held back02:10
DanaGDevelopment versions sometimes, or even 'often', have broken dependencies; make sure you know how to deal with them.  Also, make sure you're willing to live with brokenness if need be, or else you should just use released versions.02:11
SolarionDanaG: all well and good, but I'm wondering if it's a known problem and if there's an eta on a fix.02:12
mohbanai am currently running fedora 8, i have an extra partion i want to try out ubuntu 7.10.  How can i make a backup of my mbr and my fedora partion, i have another partion where i can store the images. thanks02:13
DanaGActually, I was talking to mohbana.02:14

Le-Chuck_ITAHi all. Is it normal that tracker in hardy (but maybe also in gutsy where I was not using it) does not do indexing based on file names, so that if I create an empty file called xxxxy I will not find it by searching xxxxy?10:16
Le-Chuck_ITAor is it only on my laptop?10:16
aantipopif i type dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg im not able to select a driver for graphics card anymore ? and mouse protocol ??10:28
kripkenaantipop: I believe that this is due to changes in how XOrg works. Basically it should now all be automatic10:30
kripkenif you look at the xorg.conf files, they are now very short. Not like in the past, where they detailed everything10:30
aantipopworks great: Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".10:31
kripkenI get that when I run the FOSS driver. What are you running now?10:32
aantipopso how do i set nvidia for the driver, manual edit ?10:32
aantipopseems like nv10:32
aantipopbut i want nvidia, and i want to choose my mouseprotocol10:32
kripkenTo use nvidia, just use the restricted-drivers-manager10:32
kripkenit'll do it all for you. No idea about the mouse though, but I believe you can add lines to xorg.conf, they will override the automatic configuration10:33
aantipopit say its using it10:33
kripkendid you edit xorg.conf? anyhow, just change the driver in xorg.conf to "nvidia"10:33
aantipopim on a xorg.conf that got automatically created, because i deleted my xorg.conf10:33
kripkendoes it have a "Driver" line?10:34
aantipoplet me see10:34
aantipopuhm xorg.conf i empty ?10:34
kripkennothing at all?10:34
aantipopthere is no xorg.conf ha10:35
aantipoplet me reboot, i will be back10:35
aantipopor is restarting x enough ?10:35
kripkenI have no idea what'll happen if you restart X without an xorg.conf... bt you can try ;)10:35
aantipophmm will reboot, see you soon10:35
kripkenyes, restart X is enough. Logout-login from GNOME restarts X for me10:35
aantipopk10:35
aantipopit runs without a xorg.conf10:37
aantipopmaybe this is the bulletproof thing ?10:37
bardyrno10:38
aantipopso how do i enable nvidia without a xorg.conf ?10:38
bardyraantipop, xorg has been able to run without a xorg.conf got a long time10:38
kripkendo you still not have an xorg.conf?10:39
aantipopno, no xorg.conf10:39
bardyraantipop, you use the xorg.conf to override automatic settings like selecting binary drivers and changing kayboard layout, etc10:39
aantipopnow i think i created one with dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg10:39
kripkenI would either write a skeleton xorg.conf, or try to reinstall nvidia-glx10:39
bardyrkripken, nvidia-xconfig10:40
aantipopthere is a very small xorg.conf now, missing graphics driver and whatnot10:40
aantipopstrange thing is, retricted manager says: nvidia in use..10:40
kripkenyou can add a line for the graphics driver to set it to nvidia. Or do what bardyr said, I think that will work also10:40
aantipopwill do10:41
aantipopbut my main problem are the mouse-settings10:41
kripkenno idea about that, sorry10:41
aantipopmy logitech mouse runs at 400 dpi, but is capable of 800 i guess10:42
aantipophmm brb10:43
aantipopgot nvidia back, hooray for 2007 backup's10:52
kripkenmouse too?10:52
=== LongPointyStick is now known as Hobbsee
aantipopkripken: mouse works, but im not sure which cpi it uses11:34
kripkenI think it makes sense to file a bug regarding the mouse issue. It appears there is now no good way to do what you wanted11:34

bardyri know there will be a lot work on removing duplication in hardy, but will there be any work on removing obsolete packages?16:24
tritiumbardyr: such as?16:24
blkorpheusI've been looking for the gobuntu kernel16:25
bardyrwell 915resulotion, xmms, etc16:25
blkorpheusif there is a different kernel16:25
blkorpheusbut it seems it uses the generic kernel16:25
tritiumbardyr: people still use xmms16:26
bardyrtritium, yea but they usually dont know audacious exits16:27
tritiumbardyr: it's still a matter of offering choice16:27
bardyrtritium, having a huge amount of packages does not always equal choice16:28
blkorpheusit doesn't?16:29
blkorpheuslol16:29
tritiumHow doesn't it?16:29
bardyrsometime its just bloat16:29
tritiumremoving xmms would reduce the available choices16:31
bardyror it will just get people to use audacious and everyone will be a little more happy16:32
tritiumI, for one, don't use audacious, and wouldn't appreciate being told that I must.16:32
bardyrdo you use xmms?16:32
tritiumNope, but don't assume that I'd be a little more happy moving to audacious.16:32
bardyrif you use xmms, audacious will make you happy, just as moving from a 2.2 kernel to a 2.6 kernel will make you happy16:33
tritiumNot necessarily.  Don't presume.16:34
tritiume.g., I still prefer my 1965 Chevy truck to any of the recent model years.16:34
tritiumnewer != better, necessarily16:34
bardyrtritium, when you need to change half the settings to get it to work, newer is better16:35

blkorpheusall thee forks of xmms16:36
blkorpheusand yet no real compelling reason to switch16:37

Amaranthand Ubuntu isn't about old unix nerds :)16:37
