EmmerPan fresh install has finally become 2 times faster as windows (actually, it is that for some timeI guess)00:01
EmmerPthat is, the installation process I mean00:01
flipstarhm my hardy actually needs about 2mins to start ..00:02
flipstarfrom poweron to desktop00:02
EmmerPI'm around 1:20 I think00:03
EmmerPIn gutsy I had a problem with the splash screen, which caused a delay of 2 min.00:03
EmmerPsetting theright resolution in /boot/usplash.conf fixed it00:04
flipstarhm i have no delay..00:04

RyanPriorWhen I try to access the "Network" page via nautilus, it says "Cannot display network:///"01:38
DanaGOdd... if I disable my TPM chip in BIOS, Ubuntu won't boot.01:40
DanaGIt reaches the point where it'd be starting usplash, and then even if I have splash disabled, the system just mysteriously hangs.01:40
RyanPriorDanaG: Have you tried playing with cheat codes?01:42
DanaGWas that a joke?01:44
RyanPriorDanaG: Not at all.01:44
RyanPriorTry googling "Linux cheat codes"01:45
DanaGIt previously worked fine with the TPM chip in either state: enabled or disabled.01:47
PiciRyanPrior: I found that link in about a minute of searching on launchpad when I had the same issue.02:46
norvRyanPrior: what sort of problem were you having?02:46
Picihttps://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/18575602:46
ubotuLaunchpad bug 185756 in gvfs "Couldn't display "network:///" - Nautilus cannot handle network:locations" [Medium,Triaged]02:46
PiciThat bug.02:46
RyanPriorI'm unable to access my SSH share via Nautilus.02:46
PiciJust do it by typing in   ssh://user@host02:47
* Pici goes back to watching his dvd02:47
RyanPriorPici: That would be fine if I just wanted SSH, but what I really want is drag-n-drop SCP with Gnome VFS support, which is what Nautilus usually gives me.02:47
norvis there a reason SCP is better than SSH?02:48
RyanPriornorv: SCP uses SSH.02:48
RyanPriornorv: using SCP a bunch of times on the command line is a pain in the ass compared to using Nautilus, however.02:48
norvquick-fix is use konqueror, if you can afford the memory/disk02:50
RyanPriornorv: I'm going to try using Filezilla, but I'll give Konqueror a try if that doesn't work out,.02:51
RyanPriorI wish the bug was marked as high priority, though. For people that have remote file management via Nautilus as part of their hourly workflow, having it be entirely broken is a critical bug.02:52
norvyeah, that is a big problem with Ubuntu and IMO most distros02:53
RyanPriorFilezilla works, so that'll be my workaround for now. Thanks.02:54
norvone thing I like about KIO (what konqueror uses) is that you don't have to be a kernel hacker to write "fake" filesystem drivers02:55
norvwell, and the 7zip support. beats the Windows 7-zip gui, and that's why there isn't one for Linux02:57
RyanPriornorv: That's if you're using KDE though, right? Does Gnome use kioslaves?02:58
norvglad you got something that works, though. Can't say the same on this system02:58
burnergnome uses gnome-vfs, but it's transitioning to gvfs or gio?02:58
RyanPriornorv: Filezilla doesn't work on your system?02:58
RAOFGnome used to use gnome-vfs, and is transitioning to gvfs/gio, which is kinda the same thing.02:58
norvRyanPrior: err, other problems regarding video02:58
RyanPriorI think they should just use FUSE-based VFS drivers rather than their own janky systems like gvfs or kio.02:59
RyanPriorOr maybe that's what they're doing and I missed it.02:59
burnerRAOF: are they actually two terms that are the exact same or refer to different aspects?02:59
RAOFThat's (kinda) what they're doing.02:59
norvwell kio can't02:59
norverr, probably can now that FUSE is less platform dependent03:00
burnerRyanPrior: here here!03:00
RAOFThe reason why they didn't do that in the first place is, indeed, because FUSE was linux only, and Gnome & KDE both run on much more than linux.03:00
DanaGIs it "Here Here" or "Hear Hear"?03:00
burneroh right ;)03:01
norvboth gnome-vfs and kio are working to make something so you can mount a slave with fuse. but that's slightly different03:01
RAOFBut gvfs/gio should help this; from memory there's a DBUS API exported, which is intended to be a cross-desktop standard.03:01
burnerooh... fuse mount options would be good.  similar to mounted drives in os x or doze03:01
RAOFYeah.  I think that gio has a fuse interface that can export any gio slave as a filesystem via fuse.  I'm not sure if that's finished, though.03:02
DanaGDang, something's preventing my hard drive from spinning down.03:03
RyanPriorThat will be very useful, and I hope it gets well-integrated with Gnome.03:03
norvI -think- it's finished in KIO. however, it pulls in lots of kde03:03
DanaG"wmhdplop" shows little blobs every few seconds.03:03
RyanPriorAs it is, I'm limited largely to programs that support gnome-vfs, or writing gnome-vfs support into various programs. A FUSE frontend would be accessible to all programs. :-)03:04
burneranyone know if the openchange mapi plugin for evolution is going to get into hardy?03:04
tritiumburner: I don't believe so03:05
burnerbummer, i'm very excited at the prospect of working exchange sync03:05
norvI doubt fuse will replace kio's own implementation though. mostly because of inertia, but how do you implement "man:" in fuse?03:06
norvRyanPrior: it'd be accessible though you'd still have to mount it by hand or in another app03:06
burnernorv: i assume kio could be worked in such a way where fuse only has mount options for filesystems it supports... i.e. smb:// uses fusesmb03:06
RyanPriornorv: You could just add remote drives to your fstab. :-)03:07
burnerman: would be disregarded and not allow a "fuse" connection of sorts03:07
RAOFYou could implement man:// in fuse.  Nothing at all prevents you from doing that.03:07
RyanPriorYou can implement basically anything in fuse, period.03:08
RAOFThe real question is whether you should :)03:08
burnersome protocols just have a clearer need and reason for fuse support03:08
norvI do agree that fuse should be used for as much as possible. but don't take away apt- frontends in the process!03:08
RAOFExcept that neither KDE nor GNOME are going to use FUSE as their backends.03:09
burnerfusesmb, ftp, sftp/ssh seem to be the most beneficial in my eyes...   it's nice to play an mp3 through a fusesmb share with audacious :)03:09
RAOFBecause it doesn't work on !linux03:09
RyanPriorSpeaking of which, I've been thinking it would be neat to write a fuse frontend to apt. Browse packages by folders, double-click to install. :-)03:09
DanaGDagnabbit, kjournald is keeping my hard drive active.03:10
DanaGkjournald and pdflush.03:10
RAOFWrite that journal every 5 seconds!  Go!03:10
DanaGOh, and I fixed the "load cycle" thingy on my PC by making /etc/acpi/power.sh use APM 193 (not 1 or even 128 or even 192).03:11
DanaGOh yeah, is it safe to use noatime?03:12
norvRAOF: doesn't fuse work on most OSes now? except maybe Windows...03:13
RAOFFrom what I remember of LKML, yes.  Unless you're using somithng old and broken, and then it's merely a small inconvenience.03:13
norvThough I most certainly don't like the idea of well it works on linux so you should be happy, which I've seen in other places03:14
RAOFnorv: If it doesn't work on *one* OS, it can't be default - there are plenty of GTK windows programs, KDE wants to release KDE4 on Windows, etc.03:15
DanaGOOh, Amarok for Windows sounds awesome... especially if it supports MusicBrainz.03:15
burnerrhythmbox works on os x :)03:15
RAOFI know theer's some kind of Mac support for fuse, but how mature it is and whether it's compatible I don't know.03:17
DanaGOh, and pidgin is also doing logging.03:17
DanaGHow do I make ext3 write the journal less often?03:18
DanaGHmm, Hitachi drive is rated for 600 000 load cycles, I think.03:18
DanaGI'm currently at 55097.03:18

yuriyhi i'm trying to install hardy and i get "the installer needs to remove operating system files from the install target, but was unable to do so. the install cannot continue"04:54
yuriyanybody run into that?04:54
yuriythis is with choosing to format my current gutsy partition and keep the /home04:54
DanaGIs /home really a separate partition?  If not, that'd be why.04:56
yuriyDanaG: my current set up has /dev/sda3 is / and /dev/sda5 is /home04:56
DanaGaah.04:57
yuriyand that's what i'm choosing in the manual partitioner, as i have been doing since edgy04:57
RAOFyuriy: Maybe you're triggering something in the "install, but preserve /home" code that I think has been added to the intsaller?05:01
FrankQAnyone know how I can troubleshoot why my media keys aren't working in Hardy, even though they did so in Gutsy? Gnome's key shortcuts recognizes an unique code for those keys and dmesg does not report nonexistant keys05:09
FrankQhmm, seems like they work with numlock disabled.05:11
FrankQapologies, looks like my issue has been reported and a fix has been committed. thanks.05:12

FrankQactually, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/GetInvolved might be your best starting point :)05:50
Lachlanthanks. do you know if there is going to be a major theme update in Hardy?05:54
FrankQNope, I'm pretty much new to all this stuff05:55
FrankQI think it's their intention05:55
FrankQthey're certainly looking at using a new theme engine instead of ubuntulooks, like clearlooks or murrine05:56
FrankQwhich could be a big change, I guess05:56
FrankQno idea about icons and stuff like that05:57
Lachlanok thanks06:00
EmmerPhi, anybody using hibernate?06:24
DanaGI use suspend-to-RAM but not suspend-to-disk.06:37
EmmerPsuspend (from the shut-down menu) doesnt work at all06:38
EmmerPfor me06:38
EmmerP(there's an option suspend and hibernate06:38
EmmerP)06:38
EmmerPsuspend just hangs after pressing 'suspend'06:40
DanaGHmm, the file that controls most of how suspend works is /etc/default/acpi-support.06:41
DanaGBack up that file somewhere, then try mucking around with it for a while until things work.06:41
EmmerPbut what is the exact difference?06:41
DanaGLook at the VBE and VIDEO stuff.06:41
EmmerPsuspend doesn't really turn off the whole power?06:41
DanaGSuspend keeps RAM (and some other devices, such as USB port power) awake so it's fast to recover.  Hibernate goes to disk, so it can power off entirely.06:42
EmmerPso I need hibernate if I want to leave home, go to work, and continue my programs06:43
DanaGWell, suspend often uses so little power that it will last a long time on battery.06:45
DanaGFor example, I can be at 5 minutes battery left, then suspend and leave it that way for two hours or more.06:45
EmmerPaha, good to know06:45
EmmerPthx06:46
DanaGJust be sure to save work before suspend, because it's sometimes not absolutely reliable.06:46
RAOFI think my suspend uses < 1 W, so I could easily leave the laptop suspended on battery for 3 days06:46
EmmerPand what's your startup time?06:46
DanaGMy laptop often fails to resume on battery, oddly.  In addition, even when on AC it fails about 1/4 or 1/3 of the time.06:47
EmmerPthat's my primary reason for maybe digging into it, faster startup06:47
DanaGSpeaking of which, I'll try hibernate.  I've never used it.06:47
RAOFMy laptop currently doesn't suspend at all, but that's due to nouveau.06:47
EmmerPnor mine :)06:47
RAOFOh, when I was running nvidia-glx-new, it'd suspend & resume 100% reliably.06:48
EmmerPI've ATI...06:48
RAOFBa baw!06:49
EmmerPmy startup time is around 1:20, and hibernate too06:49
RAOFResume-from-hibernate probably won't take significantly less time than a full boot, really.06:49
EmmerPmaybe the time-saving is in closing the lid in stead of shutting down :)06:51

rskit is?19:28
crimsungenerally, yes.19:30
crimsunyou can, however, do Neat Things with them.19:30
pwnguinlike crash X ;)19:32
pwnguindoes coverity not consider a possible null dereference a fault?19:32
crimsunerr, their checker does flag it.19:33
pwnguinwell, i dont have access to x's listings, so who knows if it was listed or not, i guess19:35
h3sp4wnAnyone any idea of a revision control system (That I can use one solaris and one linux server) and replicate them automatically and easily19:51
Assidyoza19:55
Assidokay i cant report stuff.. cause packages are broken19:59
Assidthis sucks :(19:59
crimsuneh?19:59
crimsunwe're mid-stream Evolution transition, but that's about it.20:00
Assidyeah thats causing my adept to NOT update20:00
Assidand i had a crash i wanted to report.. but adept didnt . cause it says i got old packages20:01
Assidtrying to report as many issues as i can...20:02
Assidfigure the more i report.. the better my chances of getting a stable release20:03
Assidi broke avant20:05
Assidbroke20:10
Assidand i cant report :(20:10
flipstarbut you did upgrade adept ?20:11
Assidyep20:11
Assidevolution transition doesnt let me update20:12
flipstaruhm you can by update-manager -d but i guess there is a sence by holding it back20:13
=== _emgent is now known as emgent
Assidyeah20:13
Assidthing is .. im good at breaking things20:13
Assidso im tyingg to report stuff20:13
Assidi may not be good in manual reports .. so something like apport is kinda required20:14
flipstarapport is still very nice for that20:14
flipstar..when it works20:14
Assidyeah.. thats why i  wanna report using that20:15
Assidnautilis cant handle network:// ?20:32
FrankQNope, and neither can it ftp://, fonts://, sftp:// and obexftp20:33
FrankQthey have upgraded nautilus to Gnome's new GIO system and basically they changed Nautilus to made use of it20:34
FrankQbut they haven't gotten to those things yet and it's not sure whether they will in time for the release :-/20:34
FrankQand i also get a thing with evolution messing up my upgrade ;o20:35
FrankQThe following packages have unmet dependencies: evolution-data-server: Depends: evolution-data-server-common (= 2.21.5.1-0ubuntu1) but 2.21.90-0ubuntu2 is to be installed20:35
h3sp4wnjust do a safe-upgrade with aptitude and wait20:36
FrankQnothing to report?20:39
h3sp4wnWhy would there be20:39
FrankQWell, it's what update manager tells the user to do ;-)20:40
h3sp4wnDunno does it specify this channel explicitly ?20:41
FrankQNo.20:41
h3sp4wnI don't like it - I trust aptitude much much more20:41
awalton__ftp:// will be done as it's a blocker for 2.22, even if everyone has to drop everything to do it.. fonts, themes may have to wait, obexftp is sitting in bugzilla waiting for completion & reviews20:42
awalton__sftp is done, as is smb20:42
FrankQIt's been made a blocker? That's great news.20:42
Assidso trash:// works and thats it ?20:42
FrankQI was pretty annoyed at reading desktop-devel and several going like "well who knows"20:42
awalton__trash, sftp, smb, dav/http, off the top of my head are in working order20:43
awalton__+/- some bits here and there20:43
FrankQI take network:// is either close to working order or a blocker?20:43
awalton__network hasn't even been started, but it should be fast like computer:// was to implement20:43
awalton__it's a "metabackend" that indexes avahi shares and smb://20:43
FrankQThat's good to hear. It's more hopeful than what you read at desktop-devel :)20:44
Assidhrmm20:44
awalton__helps when you camp svn and talk to the devs every other day about it.. *snicker*20:44
h3sp4wnI wonder if gnome will get sensible randr 1.2 support for this release (Only e17 acts sanely I have found so far)20:45
Assidif i can understand monodevelop vs sharpdevelop. i can  start making some apps :|20:45
FrankQI'm glad people are pursuing it. I thought it was quite a severe regression20:45
awalton__yeah, but it's so, so much nicer all around20:45
Assidawalton__: what is?20:45
awalton__gvfs20:46
Assidwhats that20:46
awalton__not a lot is working yet, but what is working works pretty darn well.20:46
awalton__it's the new virtual file system for gnome20:46
awalton__deprecates gnomevfs20:46
Assiderr.. what does that fs do?20:46
Assidwhy do you need a vfs?20:46
awalton__allows applications aware of it to read and write to e.g. network shares, special volumes like bluetooth devices, etc.20:47
Assidkudos20:48
awalton__it even allows applications that aren't aware of it to access the devices through fuse20:48
FrankQI never knew web development could be so smooth until I discovered ftp:// :)20:48
Assidi want flashfxp!20:48
h3sp4wnI don't see what makes that better than just having it mounted normally into the fs thats transparant to the application anyway20:48
awalton__h3sp4wn, it's a lot more difficult to do that in practice.. but it does operate that way if you use it with fuse20:49
FrankQI tried to do ftp stuff through FUSE and it was a pain (couldn't deal with ftp timeouts, would die, etc). Not sure if that was just fuseftp's problem or if a virtual filesystem is just much better for handling stuff like that20:51
h3sp4wnI am perfectly happy with ncftp for ftp (although alot of people recommend lftp)20:51
h3sp4wnprobably I would use lftp if I hadn't used ncftp for years20:52
awalton__I don't use it at all, so it's not a visible regression to me ^_^20:52
h3sp4wnDid the xrandr 1.2 stuff ever work properly in gutsy20:52
awalton__the real question is did it ever work at all, ever20:53
* awalton__ has never had luck with it20:53
h3sp4wnWorks flawlessly with e17 by default (cloned) but its scaled so its at a sane res20:53
h3sp4wni.e 1024x768 on the laptop panel - 1280x1024 on the external monitor20:53
Assid1 day im gonna move my desktop to linux as well20:54
AssidONE day20:54
h3sp4wnand it doesn't screw up the dpi either - or you can have a multi screen setup - noone else has even sort of done it right I have seen20:54
h3sp4wnI would be happy with even using the screen soley set by fn + f7 (or the bios) but doing 1024x768 cloned on both screens and messing up the dpi when you turn one off with xrandr is definately what I don't want20:56
Assiderr weather preferances says it cant load xml20:57
Assidand asked to report20:58
Assidsomeone wanna try that and report20:58
h3sp4wnDon't see any point in reporting anything until the gnome is at least a late beta or release candidate20:59
Assidand when should that take place20:59
* awalton__ hisses hat h3sp4wn.. reminds him to point out nautilus/gio/gvfs flaws asap!20:59
h3sp4wnIf someone is totally broken for everybody I think they people writing it must know21:00
h3sp4wn*the people21:00
awalton__you'd be surprised21:00
Assideveryone just has to think that21:01
Assidand not report it21:01
awalton__lots of strange quirk-like errors crop up all the time.. I've hit about a half dozen phantom bugs myself in the past few days21:01
Assidyeah21:01
h3sp4wnyeah I %^$%$ know. go away21:01
h3sp4wn(never had that response when something is a development release ?)21:02
Assidonce apport starts working for me.. im gonna start reporting21:02
awalton__h3sp4wn, sadly no, but I've not been actively developing in linux until recently21:03
Assidwhat you develop on21:04
awalton__besides, nagging gets things done :]21:04
h3sp4wnawalton__: I guess it depends on the project - apparantly the e17 dev's add a week everytime someone asks when it will be released21:04
awalton__I've been just lending a hand wherever I can.. I wrote docs for gio, I'm in the process of documenting gvfs atm, and I've been trying to hunt down random nautilus bugs..21:04
awalton__h3sp4wn, yeah, the e17 team is even more starved for devs than gnome is..21:05
Assidyou mean the one where you cant recursively delete from ntfs-3g from an external drive21:05
awalton__I still haven't been able to reproduce that one21:05
Assiddo you have an external drive which uses ntfs21:06
awalton__but it might be one of those bugs that's impossible to see while in a debugger or valgrind21:06
awalton__Assid, I've got drives formatted in myriads of flavors just for testing21:06
Assiderr someone else was ale to do it as well21:06
h3sp4wnShould it support zfs-fuse ?21:07
awalton__it "should"21:07
Assidwell use ntfs.. and then have a few directories and files inside the directory21:07
awalton__it should support any regular mounted fs, but not necessarily all of the features of that FS21:08
h3sp4wnAh I was thinking about its features21:08
Assidnautilis doesnt recursively delete .. but rm -rf from terminal does21:08
awalton__and it only happens on ntfs? doesn't happen on anything else?21:08
Assidonly had an external ntfs based drive21:09
Assiddidnt try anything else21:09
awalton__that's just it.. I can't make that happen here.. it works just fine >_>21:09
Assidhrmm21:09
Assidsomeone else here had that issue.. i forgot who21:09
h3sp4wn_which version of ntfs (I guess there is a few - win2k's , winxp's , vista's)21:12
Assidwinxp21:12
FrankQh3sp4wn_: though, there'd be no point to a development/alpha release if no-one'd report bugs ;-)21:14
FrankQI know that I've got bugs that I'd love for others to confirm but no-one does21:14
h3sp4wn_FrankQ: Bugs in anything else (That is considered stable by the upstream people) would be fine21:17
h3sp4wn_No doubt there will be tons of updates shortly after the release as we have become acustomed to anyway21:18
h3sp4wn_Perhaps that won't happen if this release is given 8 months like the last lts (but that happened then anyway)21:19
FrankQmeh, if you read planet gnome you'll see that that doesn't really apply entirely. lots of things that are buggy are kept unupdated (except in backports) if it's not a severe bug21:19
h3sp4wn_Usually at least 300MB of updates within a month21:19
h3sp4wn_Perhaps some are security but Debian has nowhere near that sort of update rate21:21
FrankQmost are security for me. unless you count backports21:22
h3sp4wn_The question is why is a newer version coming through security ever21:23
h3sp4wn_I find ubuntu fine until quite late on then it becomes stupidly slow everytime then gets released21:24
FrankQ...to fix security bugs, I'd think?21:25
h3sp4wn_Dunno exactly why fortunately there is a new +1 shortly after21:25
Assidi still rememeber where alpha was better than the final gutsy21:25
Assidthis was in the last alpha before even beta came in21:25
h3sp4wn_I dunno why exactly I do know some of the Debian maintainers are not happy with the Ubuntu fixes21:26
Assidevverytime i said something .. everyone just said.. wait for next update21:27
h3sp4wn_I prefer slightly more buggy to slow21:27
Assidwhy not both21:27
Assidokay21:28
Assidi need to learn monodevelop21:28
h3sp4wn_You never get both as its too expensive21:28
Assidifi i can write a few applications.. would be nice21:28
Assidquestion is.. what to write21:28
Assidlol21:28
Assidmight as well stick to what i do ... php21:28
h3sp4wn_a gui for octave might be nice21:28
Assidoctave?21:29
Assidim thinking of finishing my gui for powerdns for my hosting control panel21:29
h3sp4wn_gpl matlab clone (a decent gui)21:29
h3sp4wn_There is a few but they suck21:29
Assiderr.. php21:30
Assidthats what i like doing21:30
Assidand matlab and stuff.. kinda outta my league21:30
h3sp4wn_You can write that with monodevelop ?21:30
Assidmonodevelop i gotta yet learn properly.. C# on windows is different than monodevelop21:31
h3sp4wn_I never managed to compile anything with mono myself (packaged stuff has worked fine though) - dunno if it was just me or the fact I used sun studio not gcc21:35
h3sp4wn_to build the mono source21:36
