ethana3i think this resolution bug is to obvious to be overlooked..00:00
ethana3but i think i'll check just to make sure it has been filed00:00
bardyrwhat resolution bug?00:00
ethana3radeon picks this huge res00:00
ethana3when my monitor can only do 1280x1024, physically00:01
ethana3then radeon ignores my mode settings00:01
bardyrtried the binary driver?00:01
ethana3eww00:01
ethana3no00:01
ethana3well wait, do you mean the proprietary one, or just a precompiled radeon?00:02
ethana3i'm not going to mess with proprietary stuff; that's not why i'm here00:02
bardyrproprietary00:04
ethana3yeah, my card has long been forgotten by them00:04
bardyrethana3, but how can you survive without compiz :D00:04
ethana3and that's not the future anyway00:04
ethana3i get compiz00:04
ethana3radeon can do compiz easily00:04
ethana3i also play tremulous and nexuiz and all those00:04
ethana3and it will only get better00:04
bardyron the opensource driver?00:04
ethana3absolutely00:04
ethana3and of course00:04
bardyrwow, i didnt think they had gotten so fare00:05
ethana3oh yeah they have00:05
ethana3specs help a lot00:05
RAOFbardyr: Sufficiently old radeons are *better* supported by the opensource driver than by fglrx00:05
ethana3yes00:05

lufisIs it just me or is the hardy alpha *extremely* slow?00:07
lufislike, menus sluggishly opening, video less responsive, etc.?00:07
RAOFIt may be just you, I don't see that.00:07
DanaGMy system definitely seems less responsive.00:08
lufisI wonder if it's the new kernel00:08
DanaGWhen I start Gnome, Pidgin freezes for about 30 seconds simply due to other stuff loading.00:08
ethana3i keep the system monitor in my panel00:08
ethana3so i always see cpu usage...00:08
DanaGI'm sure it is the new kernel -- try booting the old one for comparison.00:08
RAOFI have terrible problems with the -rt kernel, but -generic is OK.00:08
lufisAfter disabling trackerd, seahorse, and whatever else bloat ubuntu has gotten this release it got a bit better00:09
lufisbut it's still not anything like gutsy00:09
lufisspeed-wise00:09
DanaGTry the Gutsy kernel!00:09
DanaGThe new "completely fair scheduler" sucks, in my usage.00:09
lufisI tried 2.6.24 on gutsy, actually, and it was very responsive00:10
DanaGWith CFS?00:10
lufisyes00:10
DanaGOdd.00:10
bardyri think hardy is faster, then gutsy00:10
DanaGI wonder what else has changed.00:10
Gninemy 8.04 has all normal features turned on and its all good00:10
DanaGFor me, Hardy with Gutsy kernel is more responsive than Hardy with Hardy kernel.00:10
ethana3most of my issues are always in either my DE or xorg00:10
DanaGI haven't tried Gutsy with Hardy kernel.00:10
lufisi thought maybe it was swapping too much, so i turned swap off... no speedup00:10
ethana3but that may be just because i screw with things so much ;)00:11
Gnineceleron 2.0 - 1gig ram00:11
Gninenever touch swap00:11
ethana3that's for hibernating and running out of ram ;)00:12
* Gnine is on desktop right now.. laptop is even better 00:12
Gninewith the exception of the suspend issues00:13
lufisVideo skips on hardy, something that i have never had happen on this machine00:14
DanaGI'm getting audio dropouts when I close my laptop lid.00:20
DanaGThat only happens with the new kernel, and only when folding@home is running.00:20
ethana3filed bug on radeon00:22
bardyrDanaG, i think the CFS isnt respecting nice values and making folding eat way to much cpu time00:22
ethana3in the world clock, it doesn't give the correct time for other locations00:22
ethana3it just gives you the right analog clock, then the local time and offset00:23
ethana3'You do the math'00:23

dabbillhow do i install kde4 with 8.04? apt-get install kde4-core dont work.02:31
RAOF!doesntwork | dabbill02:31
ubotudabbill: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.02:31
dabbillgives me a big list of unmet dependencies02:32
RAOFRight.02:33
DanaGArgh, when pulseaudio stutters, sometimes Exaile locks up and eats 100% of (BOTH CORES!) of my CPU.02:33
RAOFThat's probably a temporary problem, and is totally expected at certain times.02:33
RAOFJust try again in a day or so.02:33
DanaGArgh, I'm trying the qprojectm thingy, but it's hella' buggy.02:35
DanaGIt doesn't save preset ratings.02:35
DanaGAnd I get this all the time:  ASSERT: "last >= first" in file kernel/qabstractitemmodel.cpp, line 209502:36
DanaGAborted (core dumped)02:36
DanaGAnyway, that's not a Hardy issue, though.02:36
ethana3Screens and Graphics was intended to be able to do multi-seat, right?02:37
ethana3with better autoconfiguration, I don't see the point of it otherwise02:38
ethana3...but i would /really, really/ love to be able to use it for what I'm trying to do.  That would be amazing02:40
dabbillapt-get install kde4-core gives me Depends: kdebase-kde4 (>= 4:4.0.0) but it is not going to be installed02:42
DanaGI wonder how PulseAudio works with multiseat.02:42
ethana3try this02:42
ethana3oh, i wonder too02:42
DanaGOh, and try aptitude -- it's more useful with dependencies.02:42
RAOFDanaG: Only the active user gets the sound device.02:42
ethana3apt-get install kde4-core kdebase-kde402:42
DanaGBut BOTH are active.02:42
ethana3yes02:42
ethana3and there is only one sound device02:42
ethana3but two of everything else of course02:43
RAOFDanaG: You may me thinking of something different to me when I hear "multiseat"02:43
ethana3two simultaneous users02:43
ethana3two monitors, keyboards, mice02:43
RAOFOh, right.02:43
ethana3which is what i have02:43
ethana3but i haven02:43
ethana3't gotten it working correctly as of yet02:44
RAOFThat's an interesting question; probably badly at the moment, I think.02:44
dabbilllooks like aptitude did the trick02:44
ethana3i'm fine with one user just not getting audio for now; it's not essential02:44
ethana3actually02:46
ethana3i want one user to get the right channel and one user get the left02:46
ethana3yes.02:46
DanaGMono?   Ugh.02:49
ethana3well yeah02:50
ethana3unless i get another sound card02:50
DanaGIf the onboard audio device does surround, you could split the front and rear to act as two separate cards.02:50
ethana3oh.. ok02:50
ethana3it just has one little audio jack02:50
ethana3like, the basic headphone kind02:50
DanaGDang.02:50
ethana3as i said though, that's not a serious problem02:50
DanaGI wonder how expensive a cheap USB sound card would be.02:50
ethana3i'm thinking PCI02:51
ethana3but USB may work too02:51
ethana3most of my USB ports are used02:51
ethana3with the printer, two mice, USB keyboard, thumb drive, and webcam02:51
ethana3the other keyboard is PS/202:51
ethana3the funny thing is that one of those usb ports02:52
ethana3only works under linux02:52
ethana3not windows xp02:52
DanaGAah.02:53
DanaGPCI sound cards are often better, too.02:53
ethana3oh yeah, and that USB port for the webcam, sometimes i use it for my motorola phone with bitpim ^_^02:54
ethana3well, I have one unused PCI slot..  and another with just a dialup modem02:55
DanaGI do bluetooth with my phone.02:56
ethana3yeah, this machine doesn't have bluetooth..02:56
DanaGOh yeah, multiseat seems rather complicated; why are you setting up such a thing?02:57
ethana3because i have the hardware resources02:57
ethana3and i have the need; being:02:57
ethana3two computers, with close to $0 cost02:57
ethana3splitting half and half, each user gets 1.4GHz and 384MB of RAM i think02:58
ethana3plus their own 3d acceleration, of course02:58
ethana3this doesn't have to be complicated, it just needs software to do it via gui02:58
ethana3..that's not proprietary, like whatever that one thing is..02:59
DanaGAah.02:59
ethana3CRT's are free these days02:59
DanaGExcept for the power bill, that is.02:59
ethana3and $40 for another computer..02:59
ethana3well yeah, that..02:59
ethana3$20 for the second mouse, $20 for the second keyboard, it gets reimbursed03:00
ethana3i had to fill out this paper about the purchase and what i was going to do with it03:00
ethana3so if nothing else, I've gone way to far to turn back.. and i don't want to, for a variety of other reasons03:00
RAOFDo they each get their own 3d accel?  Open hardware doesn't support DRI on two X servers at this point in time, IIRC.03:01
ethana3yes03:01
ethana3ohhhhh03:01
ethana3there are two gpu's, one intel integrated, one radeon from a previous machine03:01
ethana3nearly equivalent power03:01
RAOFAh, right.  Yup, each seat can get its own 3d.03:02
ethana3if 3d won't work, fine, we can handle that later03:02
ethana3its a matter of realizing the theoretical via properly coded software03:02
ethana3dual seat happens to be extremely practical for us; i'm in this for the future, because i don't believe we're alone03:03
ethana3so if i can get two seats with no 3d and no sound for the moment, i'm good with it; that's what i need03:03
ethana3or perhaps just 3d on one.. to save on CPU power if nothing else03:04
ethana3the good part is that our community has NDA-free specs for both GPU's03:05
DanaGIntel and old ATI?03:06

ethana3it allows for setting up multiple graphics cards; but you can't use multiple for multi head03:16
ethana3...can you?03:16
ethana3so that would have to be there with the intent of facilitating what I'm doing already right?03:17
RAOFYou can use multiple for multi-head.  Xinerama allows it.03:17

JulesKahnHello. I just accidentally installed Hardy Heron instead of 7.10. I'd like to know the easiest way to get to 7.10 without having to burn a disc08:59
JulesKahnIt was a clean installation over a drive with a burnt out XP install08:59
pwnguinhmm. does shipit still send individual discs?09:02
JulesKahnTo clarify, if it would be overly complicated not to burn a disc, and if I can burn one while running Heron from disc, I would be able to download the correct installation disc right now09:03
JulesKahnAlso, I really don't mind Heron so far, it's just that after I installed it and restarted, I was presented with GRUB and didn't know what to do09:04

Roe1I wasn't thinking10:12
JulesKahnslytherin, no I haven't found one yet10:12
Roe1should have provided a txt file and aa link10:12
JulesKahnI'll look at that link now10:12
JulesKahnBut I don't have Windows installed, just this broken Hardy Heron install now10:12
JulesKahnit works from live cd but won't boot normally as far as I can tell10:13
slytherinJulesKahn, What is broken?10:13
JulesKahnWhen I reboot, GRUB gives me a command prompt with no other options10:14
JulesKahnwhen I type boot, it says the kernel isn't running10:14
JulesKahnand I don't know how to use the kernel command10:14
slytherinJulesKahn, Do you still have old kernel installed? Or did you remove it?10:15
JulesKahnI installed fresh from the hardy heron dvd10:15
JulesKahnI haven't removed anything10:15
slytherinJulesKahn, oops, I thought you upgraded10:15
JulesKahnYeah10:15
JulesKahnI don't have any way of burning the 7.10 iso right now, so I was hoping to be able to boot it somehow from the live cd boot of hardy heron10:16
JulesKahn:-/10:16
Roe1So, now in a better way. This is my gdb backtrace of gnome-appearance-properties: http://www.deinon.net/~roel/gdb.bt.txt10:16
Roe1any ideas?10:16
ethana3wait,if you can get the .iso10:17
slytherinJulesKahn, If you are brave enough, you can do some tweaking to the method described at that link. And you should be able to install gutsy. You don't really need Windows.10:17
ethana3you can put it on a partition10:17
ethana3i think10:17
ethana3and boot off of that like it was an optical disk10:17
JulesKahnethana, that sounds like what I want to do10:18
ethana3i'll see if i can track down the method10:18
JulesKahnbut I do not know how. I'm really quite a noob at all this, it was a stupid mistake to get heron.10:18
slytherinJulesKahn, put the iso in some drive's root and you will need to edit menu.lst file in existing installation10:18
JulesKahnokay. it's in my external's root right now10:18
slytherinJulesKahn, Won't do I think. It needs to be in internal drive's root. And is it 'Alternate CD' iso file?10:19
ethana3http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2894810:20
JulesKahnIt's not the alternate10:20
ethana3that may be helpful10:20
ethana3although i guess there's always the chance that it may not10:20
slytherinethana3, please use nicknames to specify who you are talking to. :-)10:20
ethana3JulesKahn: that may be Hgahh10:21
ethana3JulesKahn: helpful10:21
JulesKahnI'm reading that now10:21
ethana3JulesKahn: k ^_^10:21
ethana3JulesKahn: was your main thing having to download another iso or having to burn another disk?10:22
ethana3JulesKahn: ..cause you're going to need the .iso for the OS version you want10:23
JulesKahnThe main thing was that I only have one drive on this computer10:23
JulesKahnSo I can't actually burn a cd at the moment10:24
ethana3JulesKahn: then i think that link is what you want10:24
JulesKahnI have the iso I need10:24
ethana3good10:24
ethana3i must now sleep; i shall see you all later10:24
JulesKahnI'm reading that now although I am a complete linux noob, so translating it is not really something I feel capable of doing10:24
ethana3somebody please help him10:24
JulesKahnThanks very much for your time and effort though, both of you10:25
ethana3yeah10:25
ethana3'night10:25
ethana3ethana2@gmail.com10:25
JulesKahnI think I might also sleep and do this in a saner way tomorrow with a computer that can burn10:25
ethana3email me if you don't get help in a timely manner10:25

taggieanybody else having really bizarre gtk/gnome issues? metacity seems to be freaking out on me repeatedly. tried re-install to alpha 4 but as soon as i apply updates, back to the same odd behavior13:08
Dr_Willistaggie,  just did a install. and update. Not seeing any issues here.13:17
Dr_Williswhat sort of issue?13:17
taggielockups, where the mouse responds but keyboard doesn't. then suddenly things work again. clicking on apps/places/system doesn't hold the menus open anymore, have to click and drag to get to things in the menus13:23
taggiethe only thing that i did beyond the most basic setup was enable fglrx in the driver manager.13:24
