nekostarconfirmed its the kernel00:25
nekostartho new bug ;p00:25
nekostarloaded amd64 iso onto disc good burn and all.....00:25
nekostarand kernel not found upon install00:25

UnNaturalHigh2.6.24-7 is a terrible release00:26
UnNaturalHighdoesn't work on any of my five computers00:26
nekostarUnNaturalHigh lol00:26
nekostarprobably something deep is borking it00:26
nekostarand itl be UUBER when it works00:26
* nekostar shrugs00:26
UnNaturalHighyep, I haven't had time to investigate it yet as my research proposal is taking up a lot of my time today00:26
nekostarthink there's a difference between the kubuntu and the ubuntu text based system?00:26
nekostaraww crap booted into wrong kernel again lol00:27
UnNaturalHighnekostar, just change your default kernel in grub00:28
UnNaturalHighor uninstall the current kernel00:28
nekostartoo lazy :P00:28
nekostargonna make this install work00:28

ethana2Does anyone here have a PS3?01:50
ethana2I'm wondering if the PS3 ubuntu hardy spins are functional in their current state01:50
DanaGHmm, channel seems rather quiet for now.02:14
alteregolstrange wine won't work on this 32bit noteboard02:16
mbrushi have a question, but it's absolutely off topic and so stupid, I'm hesistating to ask it ....02:16
alteregolok you came to early or what02:17
rskmbrush:  it's normal if the left nut is bigger02:17
mbrushhahahahaha02:17
mbrushit's about Opera web browser which i'm forced to use now since firefox doesn't stay open for more than 10 seconds02:18
mbrushno answer at #opera02:18
rskright-o02:18
mbrushi can't find the "Home Page" button ... it's so stupid02:18
mbrushand i friggen hate the "qt" look02:18
rskhome page, what would that doo?02:19
mbrushgo to my homepage02:19
rskyou mean the startpage-button thingie?02:19
rskah.02:19
rskare you sure there is such a thing in opera?02:20
mbrushno, I'm assuming any decent browser has a button to go "home"02:20
mbrushotherwise it seems decent enough02:20
mbrushand it stays open for more then 10 seconds02:20
DanaGHmm, what's making Firefox crash?02:20
DanaGTry starting it in console.02:20
rskmost likely flash.02:21
Dr_willisI just hit the newtab button it goes to my homepage.02:21
mbrushprolly, the nonfree thing ... i googled it, none of the fixes did that02:21
mbrushDr_willis, it goes to a blank page, and I don't want a new tab02:21
Dr_willisenable the navagiation bar then.  :P02:22
Dr_willisi see a home buton on it..02:22
mbrushi think it's on?  let me double check02:22
Dr_willisbut its greyed.. odd.02:22
Dr_willisI see a lot of toobar type options in the menus02:22
DanaGTry flashblock, for now.02:22
DanaGIt blocks flash objects by default, so the plugin won't have as many chances to crash.02:23
rski think it's weird02:23
mbrushDr_willis, that nav bar would work, but I don't want another toolbar just for a button that should be in with refresh and back02:23
Dr_willisMainbar panel -as a home button02:23
rskthat flashblock is like 1mb +02:23
rski would expect it to bee 10kb.02:23
Dr_willismbrush,  whatever. :) try draggint the botton to another bar then? or ya could just use a mouse jesture to go to home.02:23
mbrushit's text not buttons02:24
mbrushi'll try anyway02:24
Dr_willishmm i think the older opera let ya drag buttons around  not this one.. wonder what version i got02:24
mbrushDr_willis, no drag and home link in nav bar brings me to opera home page not mine02:24
mbrushI'm running 9.2502:25
Dr_willisapparance - buttons --> browser -> drag the buttons where ya want.02:25
Dr_willisjust worked for me.02:25
mbrushjust downloaded from the ubuntu "partner" repo02:25
Dr_willisi put a home button on every bar.02:25
Dr_willisGot one right next to my address bar now :)02:26
mbrushAHAHAHAHAHA02:26
mbrushthank you02:26
mbrushI saw that there and I was clicking it, but it wasn't doing anything, had to drag it.02:26
mbrushso retarded02:27
mbrushI always thought firefox was alone in being such a ram hog, but now i see opera is much worse02:28
Dr_willisOpera has a lot of settings it seems..   never noticed it being that configurable befor02:28
mbrushyeah, it seems ok, but it's no firefox02:28
Dr_willisdepends on your needs.02:28
mbrushit's really too bad that flash is so ubiquitous02:29
Dr_willisI got so many opera-type-extensions in firefox its scary02:29
mbrushhahaha02:29
Dr_willisi like this speed-dial extension/feature02:29
mbrushdo you have a KDE theme on it?02:29

ChaosParsernope, but I can verify that virtualbox works.07:12
ionstormworks just fine07:13

ionstormis vmware server free07:13

compwiz18virtual box is good also07:15
compwiz18as it qemu07:15

ionstormalthough vmware could b better now07:18
Assidwhen was the last time you tried vmware?07:20
Assidany particular version ?07:20
Assidi have a q6600 .. considering vmware can use 2 of those cores for the guest os.. I guess thats good right07:21

qziogrumpymole: are there any known issues? i didn't have this problem in feisty/gutsy08:22
DanaGNew scheduler sucks.08:22
DanaGAt least, that's one factor for me.08:22
cwillutapas, compiz on?08:22
cwilluDanaG, lol08:22
DanaGOh wait, I seem to remember hearing that the 8-series cards remove 2D acceleration.08:22
cwilluhow so?08:22
TheInfinitytapas: i had this with missing drivers / wrong installed drivers on win and linux some time ago08:22
tapascwillu: nope08:22
DanaGThe new scheduler doesn't respect 'nice' as expected.08:22
cwillu?08:22
cwilluin that nice actually does something?08:23
tapasthis is a clean install08:23
DanaGA Nice +19, idleprio task as root takes 50% of all cycles.08:23
cwilluwhat's the problem you're running into08:23
cwilluDanaG, it's supposed to08:23
Assidtapas: are ytou uising the restricted drivers?08:23
tapasAssid: yep08:23
DanaGWhat it's supposed to do is to take only SPARE cycle.s08:23
DanaGThat's what "idleprio" means.08:23
TheInfinitywas a strange issue, especially because no nvidia drivers worked08:23
cwilluwhat the new scheduler does is make sure that if anything at higher priority wants to use it, the 50% cpu task will get interrupted really really quickely08:23
aantipoplatest alsa updates broke sound on openarena08:23
cwilluDanaG, not exactly, no08:23
DanaGThe thing is, it was slowing down Xorg --- a lot.08:23
cwillu?08:23
cwilluDanaG, don't renice x if you did previously08:24
DanaGI'd press ONE key, and it'd take a half of a second for the character to show up.08:24
DanaGThat's not usable.08:24
tapasi rather suspect it has something to do with the new xorg08:24
tapasthe config file is so damn small, it just feels wrong08:24
DanaGI usually run two instances of folding@home, each set to +19 and idleprio, and each given one CPU core.08:24
tapasafter years of hacking huge and complex XF86Config and xorg.conf hacking ;)08:25
cwilluDanaG, what does top say the wa% is?08:25
tapass/hacking//08:25
qziotapas: im with you on that one :)08:25
DanaGI'm in the old kernel right now, actually.08:25
tapasmaybe i need to explicitly enable 2d acceleration08:25
DanaGOh, and even once I put folding@home to a new user with cpu_share=2 (1 hard-locks the system, and I think 0 is worse), it still slows stuff down.08:26
DanaGIt's not as drastic, though -- it still takes compiz from 60FPS to 45.08:26
tapasthis is a geforce 7500gt08:26
tapaserm 760008:26
cwilluseperate user wouldn't affect anything unless you set up process groups as well08:26
DanaGOh, and I get audio dropouts in ALSA when I close my laptop lid.  I don't get that with the old kernel.08:26
tapas(II) NVIDIA(0): Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture08:27
tapasbut it doesn't sem so08:27
cwilluDanaG, I'm sorry, I think I got confused.  You don't actually want to _fix_ these problems, do you :p08:27
DanaGI do, actually.08:27

cwilluk08:38
cwilluwhat about just plain nice -n 19 cat /dev/zero > /dev/null?08:39
cwilluunder root08:39
DanaGOh yeah, and two of the schedtool'd ones does bring down my compiz frame rate.08:39
DanaGDo you want me to do two of that, or one or two of just 'nice'?08:41
cwillujust one of nice, check if it still causes noticable slowdown08:41
DanaGTrying Timidity with two of the schedtool'd ones actually gives audio dropouts.  I'll try again without pulseaudio.08:42
cwillubAH08:42
cwilluidleprio doesn't use a nice level08:42
DanaGThat's odd.08:43
DanaGNo wonder my schedtool'd things aren't showing up as 'nice' in the Gnome system monitor applet.08:43
cwilluheh08:43
cwilluokay, just normal nice -19, what do you get?08:44
DanaGOddly, removing pulseaudio from the playback path removes the dropouts.08:44
cwilluI've noticed that as well08:44
DanaGBut my Compiz FPS with timidity and the two schedtool'd ones is roughly 25.08:44
DanaGIt doesn't seem significantly different with just 'nice'.08:45
cwillui.e., still laggy?08:45
DanaG30 FPS, and no dropouts.08:45
DanaGAt least I'm not getting severe key lag, though.08:45
cwilluokay08:45
DanaGI think folding is more intensive than just catting /dev/zero.08:46
cwilluonly way it should be is if it's playing with nice levels and scheduling classes on its own, or if io is coming into it (which is something else to check actually)08:47
grumpymoleqzio: yeah, i have 945 integrated graphics and found a similar problem08:47
cwilluhow many nice's can you start up before you start getting issues?  (you're on a dual core you said?)08:48
Assidhrmm i got  a decent nvidia card... works brilliantly08:48
DanaGOh yeah, and even though I have it set to 'nice', and I have cpufreq set to ignore 'nice'd tasks, it's speeding up my CPU.08:48
grumpymoleqzio: reading around, it does seem as if there is a problem with the current intel driver and EXA (i think)08:48
grumpymoleif you change it to XAA, then performance improves08:48
Assidgrumpymole: any suggestions for the nvidia-glx-new ?08:48
DanaGAnd another oddity is that my compiz FPS increases for a moment when timidity first starts.08:48
cwilluyou're running those nice's under root?08:49
grumpymolesorry, only been looking at intel08:49
DanaGYes, the nice is root.08:49
Assidglxgears with compiz on does 10,000 odd fps08:50
Assidis that decent?08:50
grumpymoleqzio: see this thread as an example and some options: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=67231408:50
lz7how you check fps and compiz/linux games?08:50
DanaGglxgears is not a benchmark.08:50
DanaGTry one of the opengl screensavers instead.08:50
cwillujust for comparison, I'm running 11 cat's as root, there's a slight lagginess switching between windows, everything else seems perfectly responsive (mouse pointer, typing, etc);  you seeing about the same?08:50
AssidDanaG: that doesnt show fps rates08:51
DanaGAnother oddity for me is that I get my unminimize animation almost being skipped due to compiz taking too long to start.08:52
DanaGOh yeah, and many screensavers have a '-fps' parameter.08:52
Assidi do find a tiny bit of lag.. but thats ever since the new compiz came out i think. not sure08:52
DanaGAudio stuff may be a better test than compiz.08:52
DanaGAdding more of 'cat' as root nice doesn't seem to make it any slower than with just two.08:52
cwilluokay08:53
cwillustart up folding, and run top08:53
cwilluI'm curious what the %wait shows08:53
cwillui.e., if its any at all, you may benefit from ionice'ing it08:53
DanaGRight now I have folding done idleprio; since that ignores nice, should I make it just run nice instead?08:53
DanaGAnd should it run as root or as the cpushare=2 user, 'folding' ?08:54
cwilluwell, the plodding but scientific way would be to make sure it still does what we expect under idleprio, and then compare that to nice -n 19'ing it08:54
Assidi should probably start running folding@home08:54
cwilluit'd make it easier to do a compare between the two08:54
DanaGAs root, then?08:54
cwilluyep08:54
DanaGI have manually assigned each of the two instances an affinity of one CPU core each (I have a Yonah 1.83GHz).08:55
Assidwhy cant we set affinity through system-monitor like how windows lets you do08:56
Assidi wish they'd add that08:56
DanaGOkay, two started, with just idleprio.  Compiz has slowed, but I'm not getting audio dropouts or key lag.08:57
cwilluDanaG, sorry to keep repeating questions;  64bit or 32bit?08:57
DanaGI think the key lag was with the .24-3 kernel.  Oh yeah, and Yonah is 32-bit only.08:57
cwilluokay08:57
Assidi wish there are some ethernet /ram etc monitoring applets for the docks :(08:57
DanaG(You know you're nerdy when you call things by code names, not marketing names.)08:58

cwilluheh08:59
cwilluthat's what pidgin's do best08:59
Assidsomeone shot it down08:59
cwilluwait% DanaG? :p09:00
DanaGWhere is that?09:00
cwillurun top, it's in the 3rd line (000%wa)09:00
cwillu%sy would be interesting too if it's not 009:00
DanaGCpu(s): 16.8%us,  0.3%sy, 81.8%ni,  0.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.7%hi,  0.3%si,  0.0%st09:01
cwilluwhat framerate are you getting?09:01
DanaG18 FPS right now.  (I'm also running timidity, for audio reference.)09:01
cwilluokay, so about half fps?09:01
DanaGBest is 60, actually.09:02
Assid6702 root      20   0  887m  63m  12m S    5  3.1   5:26.24 Xorg09:02
Assiderr.. is it me.. or does 887mb look bad09:02
Assid887virt09:02
DanaGStopping timidity (but manually setting CPU back to higher speed) keeps it at 21 or so.09:02
lz7ok i checked all screensavers and from what i see they not much different from glxgears in term of graphics, one which look like most heavy, lattice, not support "-fps" option, any other ideas to test 3d? :/09:03
cwilluthat's two running, right?  (sucks that I don't have a dual core, although I'm seeing a bit of latency switching windows;  nothing noticible within apps though)09:03
DanaGTry the sierpinski3D.09:03
DanaGTwo folding? Yes.09:03
DanaG(Sierpinski with really high depth is ridiculously high-poly.)09:04
cwilluhave you tried playing around with any of the sched variables in /proc/sys/kernel?09:04
DanaGCpu(s):  2.3%us,  0.2%sy, 97.0%ni,  0.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.3%hi,  0.2%si,  0.0%st09:05
cwillusounds about right09:05
lz7DanaG: with sierpinski3D i get cpu load less than 10%, but with lattice its almost 100%...09:06
lz7maybe i should use some options?09:06
Assidhrmm09:06
Assidmine was decent too09:06
Assidi found a slight lag09:06
DanaGI haven't seen those variables in /proc/sys/kernel, actually.09:07
Assidnot noticable09:07
cwilluone thought, X server runs as root, wonder if there's some interaction there;  did you say you had tried it as a third user (not yourself, not root)?09:08
DanaGYeah.09:08
DanaGI think the severe-key-lag thing was fixed in an update of the scheduler somewhere along the line, but it still impacts FPS, and still causes dropouts when using PulseAudio.09:08
DanaGI still find it odd that applying nice and idleprio seems to break one or the other.  It should just ignore whichever doesn't apply, not break it, at the very least.09:09
cwillusorry, break?09:10
DanaGOh wait, I got confused -- with my folding, I had not taken out the 'nice' part.09:11
DanaGSo that with folding was idleprio and nice together.09:11
lz7DanaG: and, it seems sierpinski fps is capped at 50 fps... :/09:11
cwilluwhich should be the same as just idleprio09:11
Assidhow doy ou check the fps in sierpinsky ?09:11
Assidhow do you check it for any screensaver09:11
DanaGGaack, died again.09:12
Assidlz7: how do you check the fps of a screensaver?09:12
cwilluDanaG, okay, and with just nice -n 19?09:12
DanaGOkay, with just idleprio, it speeds up my CPU, and is subjectively the same as with nice+idleprio.09:13
DanaGI'll try just nice now.09:13
lz7Assid: i don't know, ask DanaG09:13
cwilluDanaG, I want to compare those two, and schedtool -B, and then try playing with the latency vars09:13
cwilluDanaG, ya, idleprio should be identical to nice + idleprio09:13
lz7he is the one specialist of screensavers benchmarks09:13
DanaGargh.09:14
* cwillu points DanaG at xchat09:14
* cwillu gestures wildly towards xchat09:14
DanaGdied AGAIN!09:14
DanaGI think it's because I killed PulseAudio, and then somebody said my name (which makes it try to play a sound).09:15
DanaGThe Fix: start pulseaudio.09:15
cwillulol09:15
cwillufigures, alsa/esd was just starting to be stable for me :p09:15
DanaGHmm, just 'nice' seems about the same, though a bit more laggy when typing quickly.09:16
cwilluokay, what about batch?09:17
DanaGAnd oddly, there's not a freeze when unminimizing; instead, it's just slow.09:17
cwillu:/09:17
DanaG"-B" With or without nice?09:17
cwilluwithout09:17
cwillu-B implies nice I think09:17
DanaGAnd it's still as root.09:17
cwilluyep09:17
DanaGJust -b is again speeding up CPU, but it's not causing significant key lag.09:19
Jaymachaven't upgraded to hardy yet, just wondering if network-manager 0.7 is being included? (I'm looking forward to some static-ip goodness :))09:19
DanaGOh wait, I just noticed something odd: when folding first starts under -B, it's not 'nice', but then after it drops down and then pops up again, the load is now nice.09:19
DanaGThe client itself must be doing something to its own processes.09:20
cwillucould well be09:20
DanaGIn htop, the two cores are showing up as nice +19.09:21
cwilluHA09:21
cwilluyep09:21
cwilluit's throwing away the class09:21
cwilluI started it as batch, and it's running as sched_normal now09:21
DanaGHow can you tell what it's running as?09:22
cwilluschedtool <pid>09:22
cwilluokay09:22
cwilluit spawns off new processes, and the new processes aren't taking the scheduling class with them, even though that's normaly inherited09:23
cwilluone sec09:23
DanaGOdd, I see 4 things for pidof fahcore78 (that's one client; the other is 81.)09:24
DanaGschedtool `pidof FahCore_78.exe`                     PID 15269: PRIO   0, POLICY N: SCHED_NORMAL  , NICE  19, AFFINITY 0x1                           PID 15268: PRIO   0, POLICY N: SCHED_NORMAL  , NICE  19, AFFINITY 0x1                               PID 15267: PRIO   0, POLICY B: SCHED_BATCH   , NICE  19, AFFINITY 0x1                                           PID 15266: PRIO   0, POLICY B: SCHED_BATCH   , NICE  19, AFFINITY 0x109:24
cwilluDanaG, question:09:24
cwilluyou're runnign stock 2.6.24 right?09:24
DanaGPackaged -Generic, yes.09:24
DanaGnvidia binary driver, too.09:24
cwillubah nvm, got my self turned around09:24
DanaGI wonder why one client is showing four processes, and each is showing a different class.09:25
cwillueach core will be running in a seperate process09:25
cwilluokay09:26
DanaGThe affinity does seem to be inherited.09:26
cwilluso, what happens if you schedtool -D <pid>, where pid is the one showing up in top (for each, that is)09:27
Ayabara_anyone running hardy on a dell xps1530? I'm getting that laptop today, and have to decide if I should install gutsy or hardy :-)09:27
cwilluAyabara_, mailing list may be a better bet;  far more likely to run into somebody with the same laptop09:28
DanaGDoing it for both 78 and 80 (the two clients) doesn't seem to significantly change behavior.09:28
DanaGAnd even though PulseAudio is supposed to be realtime priority since I'm in pulse-rt group, I get dropouts.09:28
cwilluwhat about -B?09:28
cwillure: pulse, you can still get priority inversions09:29
cwilluif the app feeding pulse drops out, pulse can't do anything to fix it09:29
DanaGaah.09:29
DanaGAnd timidity is especially vulnerable: it freezes if it drops out for too long.09:29
Ayabara_cwillu: got it.09:30
cwilluDanaG, okay, what changes if you run it from your own account?09:30
DanaGThe Folding?  I'll give it a try.09:31
DanaGAnd it's still -B on the clients.09:31
cwilluya, it'll be interesting to see what it'll do with the classes when not running under a privileged account09:32
DanaGOOpsie, I don't own the 'folding' user's home.09:34
cwilluheh09:34
Ayabara_is hardy fairly stable atm? I accept the occasional crash and like living on the edge :-)09:35
cwilluI've been using it for a few months, only had about 3 times when I was stuck spending quality time with vt1 :p09:35
DanaGThat reminds me: I can't get PulseAudio to play that file at native res.  It insists on resampling.09:36
DanaGUsing wmhdplop, I'm showing it bouncing between 1.9 and 2.2 megabytes per second.09:37
DanaGOh yeah, and folding set to batch, on my name, isn't causing dropouts now.09:37
DanaGMy FPS is now at 45.09:37
cwilluwhat about on idleprio?09:37
cwillu(and you checked the pids with schedtool after it started?)09:38
DanaGOh yeah, I didn't remember to '-B' them when on my user.09:38
cwilluso that's purely niced then?09:39
DanaGI guess so, then.09:39
DanaGI'm now running them idleprio as myself, and it seems to have been inherited.09:40
cwilluokay09:40
DanaGCompiz is now around 40 fps with idleprio, and compiz unminimize (lamp) still jumps.09:40
DanaGSwitching them all to -B with schedtool gives no change in behavior.09:41
DanaGI'm also still wondering why each 'core' of folding@home is showing four PIDs.09:42
cwilluis it being smart and thinking you want two pids per cpu? (i.e., it already was going to run 2, and you told it to double that?)09:43
DanaGI don't think the 32-bit one is SMP-capable.09:43
DanaGHmm, running folding idleprio as a separate user puts my FPS back to around 35, and there's a slight key lag again; this is without cpu_share adjustment.09:44
Ayabara_wg\here cab09:46
Ayabara_ehh09:46
Ayabara_where can I find dvd releases of hardy alpha 4?09:46
Ayabara_was what I meant to say09:47
AssidDanaG: you use folding@home?09:47
DanaGyeah.09:47
AssidDanaG:  im thinking of doing that. but then i gotta make sure it runs on super low priority09:49
DanaGANother interesting thing:   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=977909:50
ubotubugzilla.kernel.org bug 9779 in Scheduler "Setting cpu_share to 1 freezes system" [High,Closed: code_fix]09:50
Ayabara_anyone? are there being made dvd images for the hardy alphas?09:53
DanaGHmm, using idleprio and setting the user share to 2 gives me 45 FPS.09:53
DanaGAyabara_: it wouldn't be worth the time or the server space, most likely.09:53
Ayabara_DanaG: ok. I so seldom have CDs anymore :-/09:54
tumbleweed__Ayabara_ : you can burn cd images to dvds09:55
Ayabara_tumbleweed__: _that_ I did not know :-D09:56
DanaGOOOOOOooooooooooh, I just had some interesting idea about Intel AMT:  it finally gives a way to boot from ISO images (over the network).  How cool is that?09:56
tumbleweed__well now you do09:56
tumbleweed__;/09:56
tumbleweed__DanaG : there were already ways to do that09:56
DanaGI couldn't find any.09:57
Ayabara_tumbleweed__: :-)09:57
tumbleweed__booting from nic has been an option on many motherboards for ages09:57
DanaGWhat other ways were there?09:57
tumbleweed__not off isos, mind you09:57
DanaGFrom an ISO, though?09:57
tumbleweed__but it's been there09:57

coz_hey guys, if i am not mistaken here,  since both the linux wacom tablet driver and sun java are able to deal with the kernel in hardy  , and its unlikely that either one will be ready before hardy's release,  do you think there will be a delay in the release or a dropping of the current kernel for release/17:46
coz_sorry wacom talbet driver and sun java are NOT able to deal with hardy's kernel17:47
Assiderr.. whats better vmware/virtualbox17:52
Assidim soo confused17:52
coz_Assid, well if you go to #vmware  or #virtualbox  they will say theirs is best :)  I would guess that question is more appropriate for #ubuntu  than here  :)17:54
coz_Assid, I  persoanlly use neither one  so i cant help with that :017:55
coz_:)17:55
Assidcoz_: if i go to any of those channels.. its always biased17:55
Assidso rather NOT ask there17:55
coz_Assid, yeah I think thats what I meant :)  probably for a less biased answer   #ubuntu would be good or better yet  #linux17:55
Assidand if you ever mistakenly ask someone in #ubuntu and mention your using hardy.. they go nuts17:56
coz_Assid, lol  I know17:56
coz_Assid, #linux is probably the best choice then17:56
Assidheaven forbid do they ever READ the question before yelling at you17:57
coz_Assid, or lie about which version you are running in #ubuntu17:57
Assidi dont get what their issue is17:57
Assidseriously17:57
coz_:)17:57
Assidubuntu+1 BECOMES ubuntu effectively so what the hell is wrong with those people17:57
Jack_mcdowellHello, sorry to bother but I compiled a 2.6.25-rc1 kernel and when installing it I get update-initramfs:.... | find: /lib/firmware.... No such file or directory.... etc....17:58
Jack_mcdowellthis is because of the broken dpkg?17:58
coz_Assid, well the perspective of support   it is already a      hand ful to deal with problems with the released versions  and woulld get overwhelming to deal with alpha release problems as well17:58
Assidyes but a question like this doesnt require a rocket scientist or support17:59
Assidlast time i asked about im's17:59
Assiddidnt ask for support.. no dpkg.. nothing.. just im's17:59
coz_Assid, right!  however since the question is not deistribution specific I would ask it in #linux17:59
AssidCould not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might be not installed on the host computer.18:00
Assidhrmm.. virtualbox doesnt like usb ?18:00
cwilluJack_mcdowell, wouldn't be dpkg I don't think unless you actually made a deb that you installed18:01
coz_Assid, ah   well   it could be hardy also for that.... and as I mentioned I havent used either one so I have no way of knowing for sure18:01
Jack_mcdowellcan someone help me about the dpkg? I have a half installed kernel... last time this happened I remember having to manually reinstall dpkg, is this what I should do?18:01
Jack_mcdowellwell I got a kernel from kernel.org and patched it18:01
Jack_mcdowellbut the same thing happened with gutsy when I compiled my own kernel18:01
cwilluJack_mcdowell, I believe the update-initramfs is benign, (I see it on my machines, it doesn't break anything)18:02
Jack_mcdowellcame to the #ubuntu+1 channel and discovered that dpkg was broken18:02
coz_Jack_mcdowell, how did you fix the problem in gutsy?18:03
Jack_mcdowelldownloading the new 'fixed' dpkg18:03
coz_Jack_mcdowell, ah!   mm   well  why reinstall hardy's kernel  and wait until dpkg is fixed?18:04
Jack_mcdowellyes18:04
Jack_mcdowellthat is one option18:04
Jack_mcdowellmy problem is, how do I remove the half installed kernel?18:04
coz_Jack_mcdowell, it depends , I guess, on the reasons you changed the kernel and whether or not you can still do what  you need with the original kernel18:05
Jack_mcdowellbecause it tries to finish installing it on every upgrade, etc... and of course, it fails18:05
Jack_mcdowellwell I can18:05
coz_Jack_mcdowell, oh!18:05
Jack_mcdowellbut I still need noapic nolapic iraqpoll (which overheated and fried my mobo last time :( )18:05
coz_Jack_mcdowell, right now there are a few things not avaiable with this current kernel which is the question I posed when I logged on18:05
Jack_mcdowellwell  I can wait18:06
Jack_mcdowellbut I just wanted to leave everything working so that I could upgrade to a more stable hardy without any problems18:06
coz_Jack_mcdowell, ok  :)  good idea .. that way it causes less frustration18:06
coz_Jack_mcdowell, I see!18:06
Jack_mcdowelldpkg -r linux-image-2.6.25-rc1-custom_2.6.25-rc1-custom-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb18:07
Jack_mcdowelldpkg: you must specify packages by their own names, not by quoting the names of the files they come in18:07
Jack_mcdowellany idea of how to remove it?18:07
Jack_mcdowellthat would be solution enough :)18:08
coz_sudo make uninstall ?18:08
cwilluJack_mcdowell, you made a deb, right?18:08
Jack_mcdowellyes18:08
cwillusimplest way to remove it would be to open synaptic, find the package, and remove it18:08
cwilluat the very least, that'll tell you what the actual package name is that dpkg is expecting18:09
Jack_mcdowellI'll check... I'm just worried because it is half installed... so, any upgrade tries to finish installing it, but it wont let me uninstall it18:09
Jack_mcdowellIll check though, thank you!18:09
coz_well at the end of the day, if nothing else works, it;s just an Os    easily reinstalled ?18:10
coz_:)18:10
tcpdumpgodanyone know of a mp3 to avi converter?18:11
coz_tcpdumpgod, mm  mp3 to avi?18:12
Jack_mcdowellI feel very stupid! I should use synaptic more instead of the command line :) found them in 2 seconds18:12
coz_Jack_mcdowell, synaptic is your friend :)18:12
tcpdumpgodyeah, so i can upload a song to youtube18:12
Jack_mcdowell:) thank you18:12
cwillunp18:13
coz_tcpdumpgod, mm  they dont accept mp3 or ogg or other music formats?18:13
Jack_mcdowelldone! perfect! oh, will hardy final have the .25 kernel?18:14
tcpdumpgodI believe they only accept video format.18:14
cwilludoubt it18:15
coz_tcpdumpgod, I am not sure you can18:15
cwilluJack_mcdowell, unless 2.6.25 stabilizes really fast18:15
coz_tcpdumpgod, what I mean is I am not sure mp3 can be converted to avi   although it never occurred to me18:15
tcpdumpgodI'd imagine they could be.18:17
Jack_mcdowellah... ok, well thank you... I'll need to stick to xp for a while then, because I can have my motherboard melt again now that Im out of warranty... damn hp dv600018:17
cwillu?18:18
Jack_mcdowelloh, the dv6000 overheats (a lot) with noapic and nolapic18:18
Jack_mcdowellto the point that the solder arround the northbridge melts18:18
cwilluand with?18:19
Assidi wish someone fixes support for my webcam18:19
Jack_mcdowellquite a serious problem!18:19
Jack_mcdowellxp works ok though... pclinux did too, but I prefer to stick with ubuntu18:19
cwilluwhat's the problem that you need noapic et al?18:19
Jack_mcdowellright18:20
cwillu...?18:20
Jack_mcdowellthen the cpu is erratic (getting stuck by hard interrupts from irq 7) and really overheats18:20
Jack_mcdowellyesterday it froze and wouldnt start for 10 minutes because it was overheated...18:20
coz_yikes18:21
Jack_mcdowellbut its a kernel problem it seems...18:21
cwilluwell, I'd be more inclined to say "it's work aroundable with a kernel patch";  software shouldn't be able to overheat hardware18:21
Jack_mcdowelland being out of warranty... I cant have it do it again :) (hp was nice enough to fix it last time)18:21
Jack_mcdowellright18:21
Jack_mcdowellthe hp forums are full of people losing their wifi (next to the nrthbridge) and if you look close enough, most of them were running ubuntu :)18:22

Ayabarahow do I disable mouse tapping on my laptop in hardy? I can't find any settings for it in "Mouse"20:54
Ayabaraand xorg.conf is really really small now :-)20:55
avsa242If you mean for the touchpad, I think you still need to install gsynaptics (requires an addition to xorg.conf)20:57
Ayabaraavsa242: I meant touchpad. did that one come automagically installed on gutsy?20:57
ethana2it's easy to do in gutsy, if that's what you're asking20:57
