| LimCore | linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic is still ownable by vmsplice exploit. is it ok? | 01:04 |
| crimsun_ | sigh. That kernel is not in hardy. | 01:04 |
| crimsun_ | and, as I implied earlier, neither of the versions in hardy are vulnerable. | 01:05 |
| LimCore | I wonder when this will be back ported to 7.10 then | 01:05 |
| crimsun_ | to answer your off-topic question, however, the version in gutsy-security is not vulnerable to the appropriate CVEs. | 01:05 |
| crimsun_ | note that both gutsy-updates and gutsy-security contain the fixed package(s). | 01:06 |
| crimsun_ | linux-source-2.6.22 | 2.6.22-14.52 | gutsy-security | source, all | 01:06 |
| crimsun_ | linux-source-2.6.22 | 2.6.22-14.52 | gutsy-updates | source, all | 01:06 |
| LimCore | 2.6.22-14.52 in gutsy is the same as from 7.10 | 01:10 |
| LimCore | is it? | 01:10 |
| Mark_Milliman | Does Hardy have a desktop manager that should be running? | 01:11 |
| crimsun_ | LimCore: 7.10 == gutsy, yes. | 01:11 |
| Mark_Milliman | I don't have any desktop icons, context menu on the desktop, or File Manager when opening Places>Desktop. | 01:11 |
| Mark_Milliman | for fear of being a noob (I just don't use IRC much anymore) how do I send a message to a person without opening a private chat window? | 01:13 |
| Mark_Milliman | compiz is running along with my panels but nothing else on the desktop. | 01:13 |
| Mark_Milliman | I can't even change my wallpaper | 01:13 |
| spudratic0 | ? how stable is hardy | 01:26 |
| spudratic0 | at this momment | 01:27 |
| spudratic0 | has to be more stable than 7.10 | 01:27 |
| bobesponja | I can't install or remove anything because of pythin-central bug, is there a way around this? | 01:32 |
| sn0 | bobesponja the bug 192992 has a workaround in the comments, but i guess there will be a perm update/fix soon | 01:34 |

| bobesponja | sn0: thanks, what workaround? I tried the one here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/i386/python-apt/0.7.4ubuntu4 but it didn't fix it | 01:35 |
| sn0 | bobesponja what happens? you need to pin the package in /etc/apt/preferences also then try apt-get/aptitude update | 01:35 |
| bobesponja | sn0: I did that | 01:36 |
| bobesponja | sn0: and I still get the same error | 01:37 |
| sn0 | bobesponja strange, could you add that to the bugreport | 01:38 |
| bobesponja | sn0: ok | 01:39 |
| sn0 | bobesponja it would be useful to note is this a fresh install from a daily, or upgraded etc | 01:39 |
| sn0 | im trying fix here too on today's daily | 01:40 |
| bobesponja | sn0: I've just upgraded to hardy, everything went fine exept for this | 01:40 |
| sn0 | fix works here, but fresh install | 01:46 |
| crimsun_ | to be clear, that's not a fix | 01:47 |
| sn0 | sorry fix was the wrong word, i understand its a temp workaround crimsun_ | 01:48 |
| crimsun_ | well, not really a surprise. /var/lib/pycentral/delayed-pkgs is zero-byte. | 01:56 |
| DanaG | OOooooh, look at HP Japan's wallpapers: http://h50146.www5.hp.com/products/portables/personal/zen_wallpaper/ | 01:57 |
| Dr_willis_ | DanaG, how zen-full | 01:58 |
| Dr_willis_ | :) | 01:58 |
| DanaG | The colors are nice, though. | 01:58 |
| Dr_willis_ | ill stick with my wallpaper i grabbed from the national geographic site :) | 01:59 |
| Dr_willis_ | Gotta have a nice 'safe' collection of 'faimly friendly' wallpaper. | 01:59 |
| DanaG | I'm using the background from the "Coming Storm" GDM theme. | 01:59 |
| DanaG | What's with the quote marks? | 01:59 |
| Dr_willis_ | ' " '"'' '' ''" morse code. :) | 02:00 |

| Dr_willis_ | bbl | 02:00 |
| picard_pwns_kirk | mmkay | 02:00 |
| DanaG | I don't use anime characters as wallpaper; frankly, I'd find it kind of embarassing, for some reason. | 02:01 |
| bobesponja | sn0: do you know how I can undo the "fix" so I remove the python-central fix and get back the old one given that I can't install or remove anything? | 02:05 |
| bobesponja | or will the "real fix" fix both case anyway? | 02:05 |
| DanaG | I try to avoid installing anything I haven't read changelogs for. | 02:05 |
| bobesponja | DanaG: ok then you must install ubuntu in a month then :) | 02:06 |
| DanaG | No, I read changelogs as packages come out in update-manager. | 02:07 |
| DanaG | Hmm, 70 updates, zero changelogs. | 02:23 |
| crimsun_ | got it | 02:26 |
| crimsun_ | pyversion's parse_versions() fails to handle a string that is passed pkg info, ala vstring is 'python:Versions=2.4' | 02:27 |
| emgent | crimsun_, see query :P | 02:29 |
| crimsun_ | so, now it's down to whether pkgprepare() should sanitise strings of the above type and only pass in, say, '2.4' or '2.4, 2.5' | 02:29 |
| crimsun_ | I think I'll temporarily hack parse_versions() to handle it. | 02:32 |

| bofh80 | ok fixed the python error by simply pinning the version as advised in the bug. great stuff :) | 03:29 |
| bofh80 | now could anyone tell me why my nvidia driver has died? :( | 03:29 |
| bofh80 | i've had to switch back to NV, i used nvidia-glx-new (using restricted driver manager / now hardware manager) but apparently X doesn't seen nvidia driver at all | 03:30 |
| bofh80 | oh and hardware manager doesn't list it anymore either | 03:31 |
| DanaG | Hmm, I just downloaded the SAME version from nvidia's site, and installed it the manual way. | 03:31 |
| DanaG | Installing the same version means you won't have to disable lrm-manager. | 03:31 |
| RAOF | I just ran OpenArena on nouveau :P | 03:34 |
| * DanaG wonders which he'd be better with: ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 or NVIDIA GeForce Go 8600. | 03:35 | |
| RAOF | ATI. It'll have better free drivers faster. | 03:36 |
| ionstorm | nvidia | 03:36 |
| RAOF | Nouveau doesn't really handle nv5x at the moment. | 03:36 |
| ionstorm | nouveau any good? | 03:37 |
| DanaG | wtf? I press ctrl-a, I get just the letter 'a'. | 03:37 |
| RAOF | Better than nv for everything < nv50 | 03:37 |
| DanaG | Then I press it again while still holding 'ctrl', and I get ctrl-a. | 03:37 |
| DanaG | WTF? | 03:37 |
| RAOF | *Substantially* better than nv on many cards. | 03:37 |
| ionstorm | is it better than nvidia glx new | 03:38 |
| RAOF | On my nv4B, nouveau's 2d is as fast or faster than the blob. | 03:38 |
| RAOF | Since there isn't really any 3d to speak of, that makes it better than the blob. Unless you want 3d, at which point nouveau's 3d support is blocked while gallium is in development. | 03:39 |
| DanaG | Two things I hope for by summer: | 03:39 |
| DanaG | Midrange ATI 3xxx series cards for laptops, and drivers (either open or closed; doesn't matter too much to me) better than nvidia's. | 03:39 |
| DanaG | Xorg is being buggy -- I pressed CTRL+(a,a,a) and got the letter 'a' twice before select-all happened. | 03:41 |
| RAOF | I don't think the latter's likely; nvidia's blob is really quite good, especially compared to fglrx. If you compare free drivers though, the ati will likely win easily. | 03:41 |
| DanaG | I'll just be glad to be rid of the screen flickering and the (rare) hard-lockups. | 03:42 |
| ionstorm | https://launchpad.net/~raof/+archive | 03:45 |
| ionstorm | i see your repo | 03:45 |
| ionstorm | hehe | 03:45 |
| RAOF | No 3d support in there, although I'm considering it. | 03:45 |
| ionstorm | 3d support would be nice | 03:46 |
| RAOF | But basically there's no reason to ever use nv on < nv50. | 03:46 |
| ionstorm | i got a nv34 | 03:46 |
| ionstorm | how is the support | 03:46 |
| RAOF | Should be good. You may even have 3d support. | 03:46 |
| RAOF | (But not with my packages, you'd need to build a mesa branch yourself). | 03:47 |
| RAOF | You also get shiny new bicubic filtering for Xv. | 03:47 |
| ionstorm | where do I find info on building/installing | 03:47 |
| RAOF | Pretty much nowhere, sadly. | 03:48 |
| RAOF | You can install the X drivers from my PPA. | 03:48 |
| RAOF | Building the mesa branch is actually rather easy. | 03:48 |
| RAOF | You get this branch (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/mesa/log/?h=gallium-0.1) of mesa, and build it with "make linux-dri-$(ARCH) DRI_DIRS=nouveau". | 03:49 |
| DanaG | Do you think the ATI drivers will be good by summertime? | 03:50 |
| RAOF | DanaG: Depends on what drivers you're thinking of. Radeon/radeonhd sound like they should do decent 2d accel reasonably soon. As for the 3d support, probably not so much. | 03:51 |
| DanaG | Dang. | 03:51 |
| DanaG | Well, are the closed-source drivers at least usable? | 03:52 |
| RAOF | I've heard it said that if gallium was finished right now, and you had 3 good developers working on it full time, 3d support for nv50 would take at least 6 months. I'd expect r600 support to take about that time, too. | 03:52 |
| RAOF | The fglrx drivers are getting better, yes. | 03:52 |
| DanaG | I'll make the actual purchasing decision around summer time. | 03:54 |
| tumbleweed__ | get nvidia | 03:56 |
| tumbleweed__ | plain and simple | 03:56 |
| tumbleweed__ | it's less of a pain in the ass | 03:56 |
| RAOF | tumbleweed__: The question is: for how long? | 03:56 |
| tumbleweed__ | it is for now | 03:56 |
| tumbleweed__ | no point worrying about what might be | 03:56 |
| RAOF | How about if you're buying in 6 months' time, as the question was :) | 03:57 |
| spr0k3t | my only recomendation... if you want smashing fantastic 3D to play hard core games, get a decent nvidia that is well supported by the drivers in the repo. | 03:58 |
| chrisb_ | i agree | 03:58 |
| chrisb_ | my ati doesn't have driver support | 03:59 |
| spr0k3t | if you don't have a real need to do hardcore 3D, some of the latest Intel graphics chipsets are damn nice... and open. | 03:59 |
| RAOF | But really, if you want to play hard core games, get a Wintendo. Linux driver support doesn't matter very much. | 03:59 |
| RAOF | The group who have to actually worry are people (like me) who do a little casual gaming, some WoW, etc in wine. Hard core gamers use Windows. | 04:00 |
| * tumbleweed__ nods | 04:00 | |
| spr0k3t | I've got a board with built in 965 graphics that handles every bit of 3D I throw at it from things like compiz... granted it's not the best for FPS type games... but damn good for everything else. | 04:00 |
| RAOF | My friend with an integrated Intel chipset is always envious about how much better WoW looks on this nvidia laptop when we play together. | 04:01 |
| spr0k3t | RAOF: which chipset though? | 04:01 |
| RAOF | It's a year-old macbook. What's that? :) | 04:02 |
| spr0k3t | the 915 and 935 aren't that great. | 04:02 |
| spr0k3t | that would be a 915 if it uses the intel chips | 04:02 |
| DanaG | I do gaming in Windows, but not any in Linux. | 04:02 |
| RAOF | Ah. So it's one of the crappy old intels? | 04:02 |
| spr0k3t | yeah | 04:02 |
| DanaG | Big stopper: it doesn't get along with PulseAudio. | 04:02 |
| spr0k3t | DanaG: the intel chips? | 04:03 |
| DanaG | Wine, I mean. Sorry, I didn't specify what 'that' referred to. | 04:03 |
| spr0k3t | s'ok | 04:03 |
| RAOF | Wine needs to learn that the default ALSA device is the default for a reason. | 04:04 |
| spr0k3t | I'm still trying to figure out a reason to use wine for my needs. | 04:05 |

| ionstorm | i have a problem with nvidia-glx-new with the new hardy kernel but not 2.6.24-7-generic | 05:49 |

| Mark_Milliman | update-manager should take you to the -8 kernel | 05:54 |
| Mark_Milliman | use the nvidia-new driver | 05:54 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | already disable it under there | 05:54 |
| Mark_Milliman | you will have to make a symbolic link to get glx to work | 05:54 |

| Mark_Milliman | Some how the schema of the %gconf.xml file for the desktop was corrupted | 06:00 |
| Mark_Milliman | I fixed it but I think I killed a process that starts the Nautilus desktop | 06:00 |
| Mark_Milliman | I agree on the forums | 06:01 |
| Mark_Milliman | ...but this is an alpha | 06:01 |
| Mark_Milliman | should there be some sort of Nautilus daemon running when Gnome starts after login? | 06:02 |
| ionstorm | Mark_Milliman, thans for the tip for glx-new | 06:04 |
| AtomicSpark | hmm | 06:04 |

| DanaG | win-E win-d win-F win-R win-L win-pause ctrl-shift-escape | 06:14 |

| heret1c | noy/not | 06:19 |
| AtomicSpark | have you tried another harddrive on that cable? tryed swapping cables (lols why not)? | 06:20 |
| heret1c | atomicspark> it looks dead as a dodo. | 06:20 |
| AtomicSpark | yeah. | 06:20 |
| AtomicSpark | usually you notice them dying first though... | 06:20 |
| heret1c | don't have a såare. | 06:20 |
| AtomicSpark | like making noises, file system errors. etc. | 06:21 |
| AtomicSpark | i know mine on my desktop is dying. i mean a clean install of xp has file problems. thats something. | 06:21 |

| AtomicSpark | is it even spinning up? :\ | 06:25 |
| DanaG | By "don't use it", I mean actually disconnect the power cable. | 06:25 |
| heret1c | yes and no. | 06:26 |
| DanaG | It's one of those things you reeeeeeeeeally want to catch in time. | 06:26 |
| heret1c | danag> spot on. | 06:26 |
| AtomicSpark | ive never had a harddrive die on me, they just get worse lol. | 06:27 |
| DanaG | Something I hate about USB hard drives is that you can't get SMART data from them; however, I've heard that even SMART data isn't foolproof. | 06:27 |
| heret1c | irony is, the alpha runs from CD without a glitch. up >13 hts, online for > 12. | 06:27 |
| AtomicSpark | how often does ubuntu check SMART? | 06:28 |
| DanaG | Hmm, if it runs fine from livecd with no hdd errors, then it's likely not a hardware failure. | 06:28 |

| BUGabundo | if you use trickled (the daemon) it should be possible, sveri | 09:00 |
| BUGabundo | I've used it successulfy a few times to prevent damage on VOIP | 09:01 |
| BUGabundo | but its seems that the upload limit is borked! | 09:01 |
| BUGabundo | can you please give it a test with any tool? | 09:01 |
| sveri | not bad :-) | 09:01 |
| sveri | yea, i even did | 09:01 |
| sveri | i got the same problems here | 09:01 |
| BUGabundo | please confirm it on LP | 09:02 |
| sveri | i am about to | 09:02 |
| BUGabundo | the strangest thing is that if I just run wget, I'll get many more upload acknolegs and bw usage | 09:03 |
| BUGabundo | if I do a wget with trickle and a download limit of the same bw I have, I use much lower upload bw | 09:03 |
| sveri | so, it is confirmed | 09:05 |
| BUGabundo | I forgot to put the package | 09:05 |
| BUGabundo | editing.... that's a LP usability prob.!! | 09:05 |
| BUGabundo | one doesn't see the package field if using search for similar probs | 09:06 |
| sveri | yea, i wonder why that is not possible, a long time i thought i was to stupid to find that option, but there simply is none :( | 09:06 |
| BUGabundo | its there! | 09:07 |
| BUGabundo | but FF just scroll to much down | 09:07 |
| BUGabundo | and one doesn't see the package field! | 09:07 |
| BUGabundo | in the past I've opened a bug agains LP about that... | 09:07 |
| sveri | hehe | 09:08 |
| BUGabundo | getting OOPS while addin the package!! hummm LP really needs to improve! | 09:11 |
| BUGabundo | sveri: you wrote the you limited the upload rate for 1000K | 09:11 |
| BUGabundo | and that wget used that limit! | 09:12 |
| BUGabundo | that's the intended beahiviour! wight? | 09:12 |
| BUGabundo | *right? | 09:12 |
| sveri | no, i am sveri on launchpad | 09:12 |
| Assid | err i got a major suggestion for the package managers | 09:14 |
| BUGabundo | sorry sveri... I'm not understanding you | 09:15 |
| BUGabundo | lets try again, ok» | 09:15 |
| BUGabundo | ? | 09:15 |
| sveri | ok,no problem :-) i am not a native english speaker or writer ;-) | 09:15 |
| BUGabundo | why did you set a download limit speed on that trickle test? | 09:15 |
| BUGabundo | the idea was to test the upload limit | 09:15 |
| sveri | just to show that it works corret when adding the -d option | 09:16 |
| sveri | it just was an amendment | 09:16 |
| BUGabundo | but since you set also a download limit, and said that you manage to obtain it, it doesn't prove my point | 09:16 |
| sveri | to the problem | 09:16 |
| heret1c | h'm. qtparted can't see my hd. | 09:16 |
| sveri | but i wrote above that i reproduced the same behavior when only using the -u option, maybe its not clear enough? | 09:17 |
| BUGabundo | can you please just test it with the upload limit, sveri and see if it happens | 09:17 |
| Assid | i think whoever packages debs that need kernel modules.. should have a script that needs to be run by every updated kernel | 09:17 |
| sveri | BUGabundo: like i said, i did that, and stated it | 09:17 |
| BUGabundo | ahh, so the results on the lp are from another test? | 09:17 |
| sveri | BUGabundo: should i add another comment to make it clear? | 09:17 |
| BUGabundo | I guess... because I miss understood it | 09:18 |
| BUGabundo | if you don't mind, that is... | 09:18 |
| BUGabundo | lolol | 09:18 |
| sveri | BUGabundo: hehe, ok, wait a moment | 09:18 |
| BUGabundo | don't want to give you any extra work. | 09:18 |
| sveri | no problem | 09:18 |
| BUGabundo | thanks so much | 09:19 |
| BUGabundo | I seem to keep find probs with gnu tools | 09:19 |
| BUGabundo | in the past I've already reported two bugs against wget | 09:20 |
| sveri | BUGabundo: ok, i added another comment | 09:20 |
| sveri | shit, i want an edit function | 09:21 |
| zqwe | BUGabundo: its not clear enough why you trying to set upload limit while downloading with wget | 09:22 |
| DanaG | I do too, even if the time limit is only, say, 15 minutes. | 09:22 |
| sveri | zqwe: i dont see why he sould justify for using the -u option | 09:23 |
| BUGabundo | zqwe: as I mention on a 2nd post, is because of the use of VOIP here on the company | 09:25 |
| BUGabundo | if I set no limit, it would use 25KB/s or more of upload bw | 09:25 |
| BUGabundo | and that would ruin our VOIP calls. | 09:25 |
| DanaG | Why would wgetting use upload? | 09:25 |
| BUGabundo | I'm not | 09:25 |
| BUGabundo | I'm using it for download | 09:26 |
| DanaG | And why not use QoS on switches and stuff to prioritize VOIP? | 09:26 |
| BUGabundo | it already happens | 09:26 |
| sveri | DanaG: *hrhr thats not the question | 09:26 |
| BUGabundo | but since I can't get ubuntu to sign on an Windows Server AD | 09:26 |
| sveri | DanaG: lp.net is about reporting a bug, and that definitely is a *bug* | 09:26 |
| BUGabundo | I'm rirectly connected to the router | 09:26 |
| BUGabundo | *directly | 09:26 |
| DanaG | aah, I see... I'm reading just the end of a long conversation. | 09:27 |
| DanaG | Nevermind. | 09:27 |
| BUGabundo | no prob DanaG | 09:27 |
| BUGabundo | can you please give it a test? | 09:27 |
| BUGabundo | with any tool that you like, not just wget | 09:27 |
| BUGabundo | I've even tried using it to limit my smtp usage in the past, and it also was not obbeyd! | 09:28 |
| zqwe | like curl | 09:28 |
| BUGabundo | anyone else besides sveri as this results? | 09:29 |
| BUGabundo | of course it should be adapted to your BW profile and limits. | 09:29 |

| fdsajfdjk | how do i find backports? if i could get my kernel to be 2.6.24 without using hardy i would be so dang happy | 09:43 |

| fdsajfdjk | nvidia 169.09 driver | 09:44 |

| fdsajfdjk | and 100.xx driver was made before my card, so the 3d rendering is surely not optimized | 09:45 |
| BUGabundo | fdsajfdjk: you can put the hardy source, update the kernel, and reverse the sourses to gutsy | 09:45 |

| Assid | http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.24 | 09:45 |
| fdsajfdjk | BUG do you know what the hardy source (its a repository right)? | 09:46 |
| Raspberry | brrr -11F here | 09:47 |
| Assid | okay i need to finish this code set this week | 09:47 |
| Assid | anyhow! | 09:47 |
| Assid | bbiab | 09:47 |
| fdsajfdjk | is there a backports.deb file somewhere? | 09:48 |
| zqwe | fdsajfdjk: hardy uses release candidate kernel it seems, better compile 2.6.24.2, it was easy with manual i found | 09:49 |
| BUGabundo | yes I know fdsajfdjk! | 09:49 |
| BUGabundo | but why do you ask? don't you think you can use it? | 09:50 |
| fdsajfdjk | ok if its easy enough ill give it a shot | 09:50 |
| fdsajfdjk | i can follow a howto pretty good lol | 09:50 |
| zqwe | fdsajfdjk: plus, 169.09 driver from nvidia have problems compiling for RC hardy kernel, so you required to use hardy deb for nvidia driver too | 09:51 |
| BUGabundo | I think it would be pretty much easyer to just set the hardy reps, fdsajfdjk | 09:51 |
| zqwe | btw why nvidia driver not work with 2.6.22? :/ | 09:52 |
| fdsajfdjk | ok where do i get the hardy reps? | 09:52 |
| mrtimdog | fdsajfdjk: You say you can't use a 2.6.22 kernel and need a 2.6.24 kernel, hardy uses a 2.6.24-8 kernel, which surely *is* a 2.6.24 kernel. I'm confused at to what you're actually after!? | 09:52 |
| fdsajfdjk | ill put those in and do a full upgrade | 09:53 |
| fdsajfdjk | im not on hardy | 09:53 |
| mrtimdog | ok | 09:53 |
| zqwe | mrtimdog: 2.6.24-8 is RC for 2.6.24 kernel | 09:53 |
| fdsajfdjk | im after a 2.6.24 on gutsy | 09:53 |
| mrtimdog | Ignore me then! ;) | 09:54 |
| BUGabundo | I don't have to, fdsajfdjk | 09:54 |
| BUGabundo | you can just update the packages YOU want | 09:54 |
| zqwe | fdsajfdjk: i'm pretty sure 169.09 work with gutsy, i tested it | 09:54 |
| zqwe | with 22 kernel | 09:54 |
| BUGabundo | to be sure download the LIVE CD and test it | 09:54 |
| fdsajfdjk | can you not me zqwe, it kills x, gets me stuck in generic driver | 09:55 |
| zqwe | http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.09/README/chapter-02.html Min Requirement Linux kernel 2.4.7 | 09:56 |
| fdsajfdjk | o shizzle it does say it | 09:57 |
| zqwe | you may have a better way with fixing your error, what Xorg.0.log says? | 09:58 |
| zqwe | but i agree, sometimes i have a problem with installing nvidia driver too, 169.07 killed my X, i have to reinstall ubuntu, 169.09 installed ok | 09:59 |
| fdsajfdjk | hmm i have a partimage backup lol | 09:59 |
| fdsajfdjk | i restore that thing almost daily sometimes | 09:59 |
| fdsajfdjk | hmm if i go on the nvidia website, there is no linux driver at all for the 8400M GS | 10:01 |
| fdsajfdjk | there is for the 8400 gs, but not 8400M | 10:01 |

| Oli``` | slytherin: is a nvidia 8800 hdcp ready? I thought it was, so if so, then yes. I am. | 10:19 |
| Oli``` | But I'm not using it with a "trusted" display | 10:20 |
| slytherin | Oli```: That si what I wanted to know. So that means you get a reduced resolution right? | 10:20 |
| zqwe | lol you missed a point of hdcp | 10:20 |
| Oli``` | slytherin: that only applies for media that demands a "secure" route | 10:21 |
| slytherin | zqwe: Can you please explain it? | 10:21 |
| zqwe | slytherin: you should get normal resolution with linux desktop | 10:21 |
| zqwe | and worry only if you play blu ray, but i dont know if blu ray players for linux even exist | 10:22 |
| slytherin | Oli```: zqwe: My friend is planning to buy an nvidia 8800 card or ATI 3800. And he plans to install Hardy when it is released. So I wanted to confirm if he will get more than 1024x768 HD on his TV attached to PC. | 10:22 |
| Oli``` | slytherin: I can. On certain types of media (AACS protected) providers can demand that the equipment is secure for full res playpack and if not, it defaults to a lower resolution. It has *nothing* to do with the operating system's resolution as that doesn't demand a trusted system | 10:22 |
| Oli``` | slytherin: if his tv supports it, sure | 10:23 |
| slytherin | Oli```: But what happens when you rip the AACS protected media to hard disk? | 10:23 |
| Oli``` | slytherin: you bypass all the protection, removing it and its demands. you get full-res playback | 10:23 |
| slytherin | Oli```: That is a good one. Thanks. :-D | 10:24 |
| sveri | BUGabundo: i looked into the source of trickle, and the problem is, donwlimit is hardcoded to 10 k/s and if its not set via the command call it remains at 10 k/s | 10:26 |
| zqwe | Oli```: btw is HDCP encryption required for running linux on PS3? | 10:27 |
| Oli``` | zqwe: I doubt it but I could be wrong... It is a customised graphics chipset after all | 10:28 |
| slytherin | One mroe question. Does ATI 3800 have any linux drivers at all (open source or not) | 10:31 |
| zqwe | slytherin: no one will recommend you to buy ATI for use in linux | 10:32 |
| zqwe | even if they claim thay have a "driver" for it | 10:32 |
| slytherin | zqwe: Considering that they now have open source drivers, there is at least a chance that drivers will improve | 10:32 |
| zqwe | yeah and they opened the specs... just wait a few years for open source driver to be able to run quake 3 | 10:33 |

| Infecto | some issue? | 10:39 |
| Infecto | issue :) bad word, how to resolve the problem and what can be wrong with it? | 10:41 |
| Oli``` | slytherin: I've got to agree with zqwe. AMD/ATI are still miles behind in getting a decent linux driver to market. | 10:45 |
| slytherin | Oli```: Ok. I have conveyed the info to my friend. I am trying to be kind of free software purist :-P so I will stay with ATI. | 10:47 |
| zqwe | actually i found that "radeon" open source driver can run 3D on OLD cards, but new radeonhd driver not support 3D at all yet... and there is new "noveau" or something open source driver for nvidia, which is demonstrated on running quake 3 on some cards | 10:50 |
| zqwe | "radeon" claim full 3D support for cards like 7000-9200, and even not for 9500, and 9500 is really old itself... | 10:52 |
| zqwe | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 10:53 |
| zqwe | for a software purist its probably better go with intel, they opened their driver, and... open source driver for real video cards will always be years behind closed sourced | 10:55 |
| zqwe | because of complexity of video hardware | 10:56 |
| qzio | anyone using synergy under ubuntu/hardy? | 11:04 |
| qzio | anywas, im using it at work... friday it was all good, but now it laggs _alot_ | 11:04 |
| zqwe | i wondering how fast nvidia will be able to suppot 9600 GT for linux which is releasing this week... since they still have problems supporting 8800 in linux | 11:28 |
| Oli``` | is it wrong that I see that model number and think of the old (well old enough) ATI cards? | 11:29 |
| sveri | zqwe: 8800 gts works great under linux, i have it running one year without problems | 11:29 |
| Oli``` | yeah my 8800 was no hassle way back when I got it | 11:30 |
| zqwe | well i read about problems on a forums, and from recent talk in #ubuntu they still have no driver for new 8800 | 11:34 |
| zqwe | http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html no 8800 GT mentioned | 11:35 |
| zqwe | good it run ok for you | 11:36 |
| zqwe | it took more than a year for nvidia to release fully featured driver for 7900 GTX for WINDOWS | 11:36 |
| zqwe | it was a pain not having fixed aspect ratio working correclt | 11:37 |
| zqwe | y | 11:37 |
| === vega-- is now known as vega- | ||
| zqwe | mmm no, they added support for 8800 GT and GTS 512 in in 169.07... which was very buggy for me... better say 169.09 | 11:47 |
| zqwe | 169.07 Fixed stability problems with some GeForce 8 series GPUs. | 11:47 |
| Unksi | Oli```: i still have one 9600 in my desktop :P so no, its not that old | 11:47 |
| Unksi | they were good cards few years ago | 11:47 |
| Unksi | and are still, though they don't compare to current cards | 11:48 |
| zqwe | i owned 9600 | 11:48 |
| zqwe | ati | 11:48 |
| zqwe | was very happy then i got it, but it was never high end card | 11:50 |

| cwillu | how big is the drive? | 13:42 |
| cwillu | mmm | 13:42 |
| cwillu | okay, sda, if it ever showed up, was a thumb drive of some description; doesn't look like the physical drive ever responded | 13:43 |
| qzio | anyone knows when python-apt will be fixed? | 13:43 |
| heret1c | you're right. | 13:44 |
| heret1c | it's in Harddisk Heaven. | 13:44 |
| cwillu | you could try booting with lapic, and maybe try unplugging the computer for a couple hours (power, network, powered usb hubs, etc) | 13:44 |
| cwillu | if it's electrical, that might bring it back long enough to recover any data you need | 13:44 |
| heret1c | think it'd work? it made some awful sounds. | 13:45 |
| cwillu | heh | 13:45 |
| cwillu | try freezing the drive for a couple hours | 13:45 |
| heret1c | put lappy in fridge? 8) | 13:45 |
| cwillu | lappy? | 13:45 |
| cwillu | ouch | 13:45 |
| heret1c | it'r a dell latitude D500. | 13:46 |
| cwillu | you really just want the drive in the freezer, in a static bag sealed so you don't get frost on it | 13:46 |
| cwillu | then when it's nice and frozen, stick it back in the laptop, fire it up | 13:46 |
| dmakalsky | Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to update evolution from 2.12 in gutsy to the one in hardy 2.21 | 13:46 |
| dmakalsky | or do I need to update everything? | 13:46 |
| cwillu | dmakalsky, check gutsy-backports | 13:46 |
| cwillu | !backports | 13:47 |
| ubotu | If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 13:47 |
| cwillu | heret1c, no guarentees on that though, and it certainly won't make it useable for day to day | 13:47 |
| cwillu | heret1c, there's a package smartctl, which lets you see all sorts of neat info the drive keeps on hand (only works if the drive is talking to the computer though) | 13:48 |
| heret1c | cwillu> I was in the process of making a backup right nefore it died. k3b insisted on dma for the (external) dvd burner, which I couldn't turn on. k3b failed after 10% - then the hd died. | 13:49 |
| cwillu | heret1c, I have an external 500gb usb drive that I do a backup to every night; harddrives aren't reliable, and laptops are even worse. not that it helps in your current state though :/ | 13:51 |
| cwillu | heret1c, try leaving it off for a while, you might get lucky | 13:51 |
| cwillu | heret1c, do you have another machine on the network? | 13:51 |
| heret1c | ni. | 13:52 |
| cwillu | :/ | 13:52 |
| heret1c | have an ancient compaq armada. have no way of connecting the two. | 13:53 |
| cwillu | you can pipe the device directly over the network to another machine if it comes up, but that doesn't help you if you don't have another machine | 13:53 |
| heret1c | h'm. u may have a peek trogh rdesktop, if it works. | 13:53 |
| heret1c | /is any point. | 13:54 |
| cwillu | heret1c, install x11vnc, and then x11vnc -connect cwillu.com -nopw | 13:54 |
| cwillu | I've got a vncviewer -listen running | 13:55 |
| heret1c | can't find package. | 13:55 |
| cwillu | bah, probably in universe | 13:56 |
| heret1c | it may not be in my (cd) sources.list. | 13:56 |
| cwillu | you can enable it though | 13:56 |
| heret1c | adept? | 13:57 |
| cwillu | however you want | 13:58 |
| heret1c | foundit | 13:58 |
| heret1c | yesh | 13:59 |

| heret1c | what then? | 14:04 |
| cwillu | heh, showed up on a different workspace just as I was switching away from it | 14:04 |
| cwillu | you've got the thumb drive plugged in right now? | 14:05 |
| heret1c | yeah. | 14:05 |
| cwillu | :/ | 14:11 |
| heret1c | toast? | 14:11 |
| cwillu | I _think_ that this tree is just the ide interface | 14:11 |
| heret1c | controller? | 14:12 |
| cwillu | but certainly the kernel thinks it's toast (the drive) | 14:12 |
| * heret1c nods | 14:12 | |
| cwillu | I'm almost tempted to try to rmmod the ide junk and re modprobe it | 14:14 |
| cwillu | but that'd disconnect me for sure (have to do it from single user mode, ro | 14:14 |
| cwillu | it's the same effect as rebooting, really | 14:15 |
| heret1c | b my guest. | 14:15 |
| * cwillu 's thinking out loud more than anything :p | 14:15 | |
| cwillu | have you rebooted at all since it stopped working at all? | 14:16 |
| heret1c | yes. | 14:16 |
| cwillu | several times? | 14:16 |
| heret1c | ran kanotix a bit. | 14:16 |
| cwillu | no luck there I presume? | 14:16 |
| heret1c | 2-3 | 14:16 |
| heret1c | spot on. | 14:16 |
| * cwillu grimaces | 14:17 | |
| cwillu | anything irreplacable? | 14:17 |
| heret1c | smells fubar. | 14:17 |
| heret1c | not really. | 14:17 |
| heret1c | nothing a few hrs amuling can't fix. | 14:18 |
| cwillu | I've got nothing left but voodoo and data-recovery services left to recommend :p | 14:18 |
| * heret1c brings out his dried herbs, etc | 14:18 | |
| cwillu | the fact that it wasn't going into udma modes was probably the drive refusing to on 'I'm about to die' grounds | 14:18 |
| cwillu | got a rubber chicken? | 14:18 |
| heret1c | can order one. | 14:19 |
| heret1c | it refused dma long before that. | 14:20 |
| heret1c | or rather, hdparm did. | 14:20 |
| cwillu | a drive can start giving smart drive errors years before it finally croaks | 14:20 |
| heret1c | thought it were a scsi drive. | 14:20 |
| cwillu | that's normal | 14:20 |
| cwillu | mainline kernel started using the scsi subsystem for ide drives a year or two ago | 14:21 |
| cwillu | since edgy at least | 14:21 |
| cwillu | 2.6.18 I think? | 14:21 |
| heret1c | ha. yes. fma workef in fapper. | 14:21 |
| heret1c | ïsh | 14:21 |
| cwillu | hdparm -d isn't the magic incanctation anymore, but on the other hand, it shouldn't be necessary in the vast majority of cases anymore either | 14:22 |
| heret1c | must have some music... | 14:22 |
| heret1c | is it at allpossible to install to dvd rw? | 14:25 |
| * cwillu recommends http://jwz.livejournal.com/842153.html | 14:25 | |
| cwillu | heret1c, you can install to a thumbdrive I know | 14:25 |
| cwillu | or an sdcard if the laptop has a reader | 14:25 |
| heret1c | a 4gb pendrive is 4 beers these days. | 14:26 |

| Laser87 | Hi! | 15:11 |
| pro-rsoft | hi | 15:12 |
| pro-rsoft | is there a quick 'n dirty way to upgrade to the new version? | 15:12 |
| pro-rsoft | i mean to the alpha? | 15:12 |
| ysth1 | so, months ago when I first upgraded to Hardy, my laptop shut down in the middle of the upgrade. for whatever reason, the xorg.conf file was screwed up thereafter, and when I rebuilt it I had no touchpad scrolling support. can someone with a touchpad put their xorg.conf somewhere for me to compare? | 15:12 |
| valberg | hey | 15:12 |
| Sebastian | Is http://phpfi.com/297449 a known issue? | 15:13 |
| valberg | i've been trying to upgrade to hardy heron and i've posted this bugreport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/update-manager/+bug/193300 | 15:13 |
| ccooke | ysth1: I don't think that's configured in Hardy at all, currently | 15:13 |
| valberg | it failes when installing language-selector-common | 15:13 |
| ccooke | ysth1: wasn't automatically enabled on my system, certainly | 15:13 |
| ysth1 | ah. I was hoping that was it for a while. thanks, anyway | 15:14 |
| pro-rsoft | what's the quick way to update from gutsy to hardy alpha? | 15:14 |
| ysth1 | ccooke: did you get it working some other way? | 15:14 |
| ccooke | ysth1: I haven't bothered, yet | 15:15 |
| pro-rsoft | nvm, found it using "update-manager -d | 15:15 |
| ysth1 | valberg: don't have permission to see that bug | 15:15 |
| valberg | ysth1, hmm... why ? i haven't made it hidden or anything | 15:18 |
| valberg | i checked that the maintainer of the package should see it,,, something about security issue | 15:18 |
| ysth1 | that would be it, presumably | 15:20 |
| ysth1 | something like *only* the maintainer should see it | 15:20 |
| valberg | ahh | 15:20 |
| xst | Are there any plans on fixing the broken display config in Kubuntu hardy (#173768)? The bug has persisted since alpha 1 even though one could argue that screen configuration is especially important to test in hardy with the conversion to xorg7.3. Whats the plan with this bug? | 15:22 |
| valberg | ysth1, http://pastebin.com/fdc1ad16 there as a paste | 15:22 |
| Mark_Milliman | Anyone alive in here? | 15:24 |

| Mark_Milliman | oh well | 15:26 |
| Mark_Milliman | Does anyone know where Nautilus is executed on login? | 15:26 |
| Tuv0k | so part of this python bug is to make ~ unavailable? | 15:26 |
| Tuv0k | no nautilus | 15:26 |
| Tuv0k | no mc | 15:26 |
| Tuv0k | no ls -l from cli | 15:27 |
| Mark_Milliman | Nautilus no longer runs when I login. I don't have any desktop icons, right click/context menu, etc. | 15:27 |
| Tuv0k | not from ~ anyway | 15:27 |
| Mark_Milliman | just no Nautilus | 15:27 |
| Mark_Milliman | Places>Desktop doesn't work either | 15:27 |
| Tuv0k | I'm using fluxbox just for these types of emergencies | 15:27 |
| Mark_Milliman | I can open up a Nautilus window from the places menu | 15:27 |
| Tuv0k | and I can't get a ls of my /home folder | 15:27 |
| Tuv0k | weird | 15:27 |
| Mark_Milliman | other users don't have this problem | 15:28 |
| Tuv0k | I can't open nautilus from anywhere | 15:28 |
| valberg | ysth1, can you see the error ? | 15:28 |
| Tuv0k | sad | 15:28 |
| Tuv0k | there is no error to see | 15:28 |
| Mark_Milliman | I can open it from a terminal | 15:29 |
| Mark_Milliman | it starts well then crashes | 15:29 |
| Mark_Milliman | then file manager opens and closes 8 times | 15:30 |
| Mark_Milliman | very annoying with compiz going | 15:30 |
| Tuv0k | does not open in the slightest | 15:30 |
| Tuv0k | screw nautilus, I should still be able to get a dir listing from term | 15:30 |
| Mark_Milliman | from terminal I see that nautilus-share extension is initializing | 15:30 |
| Mark_Milliman | so is seahorsw hautiluse module | 15:31 |
| Mark_Milliman | seahorse nautilus that is | 15:31 |
| ysth1 | valberg: I see your paste, dunno if this is different from things being screwed up right now | 15:31 |
| Mark_Milliman | then I get a warning unable to add monitor. I think that is typical because X already has 0 | 15:31 |
| valberg | ysth1, which things? are there any special things that are screwed up ? | 15:31 |
| Tuv0k | its gvfs | 15:33 |
| Tuv0k | it also added itself to fsta | 15:33 |
| Tuv0k | it also added itself to fstab | 15:33 |

| bofh80 | so, python central fixed then?! works for me now :) jockey don't install tho, bug logged already again lol. i really don't want to install the nvidia driver manually from the website, i don't see what else to do tho, cos i want to play my games :( | 19:33 |
| theholyduck | to fix the nvidia driver | 19:33 |
| theholyduck | in the reps | 19:33 |
| theholyduck | just fix the softlink | 19:33 |
| theholyduck | :P | 19:33 |
| theholyduck | the entire issue is 1 broken softlink | 19:34 |
| theholyduck | :P | 19:34 |
| theholyduck | just relink it | 19:34 |
| theholyduck | and it works | 19:34 |
| theholyduck | bofh80, on the other hand. wine instant segfaults | 19:34 |

| theholyduck | bofh80, you need help finding the correctone? | 19:35 |
| bofh80 | theholyduck, i got myself into this mess because of wine segfaulting, so decided to update :((( hjahahah | 19:36 |
| bofh80 | theholyduck, in fact, a bug in wine was the only reason i upgraded to hardy in the first place :S | 19:36 |
| flipstar | i still have the problem in pycentral .. | 19:36 |
| theholyduck | well. wine segfaults like MAD. on hardy | 19:37 |
| theholyduck | for me :P | 19:37 |
| bofh80 | theholyduck, but no i should be able to install the one from the website ok i guess, i don't understand why the nvidia-glx-new package doesn't make the driver availble :( | 19:37 |
| theholyduck | its because it installs it differntly | 19:37 |
| theholyduck | you need to redo the softlink | 19:37 |
| theholyduck | like ubuntu reads the glx driver from a softlink. | 19:38 |
| theholyduck | but on hardy. that link points to the wrong place | 19:38 |

| DanaG | I guess I should assign the task "Linux" to that bug. | 19:40 |
| bofh80 | theholyduck, that's ALL? :D any ideas where the link is or a website with some info? or what do i search for ? :P | 19:42 |

| DanaG | Or at least commented on. | 19:43 |
| theholyduck | bofh80, il check my command history | 19:43 |
| theholyduck | i forgot where i found it:P | 19:43 |
| bofh80 | theholyduck, cool. holding here :) thx | 19:44 |
| theholyduck | rm /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so and | 19:46 |
| theholyduck | ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.169.09 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so | 19:46 |
| theholyduck | i THINK that was all i did | 19:47 |
| bofh80 | theholyduck, very cool. i'll give it a whirl | 19:47 |
| theholyduck | and then restart xorg | 19:47 |
| theholyduck | bofh80, actually. | 19:49 |
| theholyduck | i think they fixed this one. | 19:49 |
| theholyduck | if you update ALL your packages | 19:49 |
| theholyduck | to the newest one | 19:49 |
| theholyduck | come to think of it. i didnt link it like that | 19:49 |
| bofh80 | lol | 19:49 |
| bofh80 | good timing, i was just tappin in the first line :) | 19:50 |
| theholyduck | try updating all the packages. | 19:50 |
| DanaG | wme:wme_qdiscop_enqueue ht_queue=4,queue=2 pool=0xF qdisc=f727be80 | 19:50 |
| bofh80 | jockey errors, which apparently is supposed to control the nvidia / ati drivers now, jockey is the only package that won't update | 19:50 |
| DanaG | dmesg is being spammed. | 19:50 |
| theholyduck | bofh80, i think i softlinked it into /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so instead | 19:54 |
| theholyduck | i think that was the old convention | 19:54 |
| theholyduck | but the new one seems to remove that softlink. and add a new one into /extensions | 19:54 |
| theholyduck | *extensions/ | 19:54 |
| flipstar | libglx.so have to link to libglx.so.169.09 | 19:55 |
| flipstar | that was correct | 19:55 |
| bofh80 | sod it. i'll try it. and let you know . cheers theholyduck and flipstar :) | 19:56 |
| theholyduck | flipstar, well i think it was in another directory now :P | 19:57 |
| theholyduck | than it was when i fixed it before updating all the nvidia and xorg stuff | 19:57 |
| theholyduck | *it is | 19:57 |
| bofh80 | in my /extensions i have this : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2008-02-19 19:48 libglx.so -> libglx.so.169.09 ////////// -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 762092 2008-02-17 11:02 libglx.so.169.09 | 19:59 |
| flipstar | that means libglx.so is already linked | 20:00 |
| bofh80 | flipstar, right, but i don't have an nvidia driver to select at all, Hardware Manager lists nothing, and if i type nvidia manually as the driver into the config file, then X won't start and goes into low graphics mode . . . | 20:01 |
| bofh80 | *Hardware Drivers that is | 20:01 |
| theholyduck | lol.. | 20:01 |
| theholyduck | bofh80, whats the output of lspci |grep vga | 20:02 |
| theholyduck | hmm | 20:02 |
| theholyduck | not vga | 20:02 |
| theholyduck | VGA | 20:02 |
| bofh80 | also to note, if you didn't see is that jockey aint installing, which i think is the problem here :) | 20:02 |
| bofh80 | k | 20:02 |
| theholyduck | i think my jockey is broken | 20:03 |
| theholyduck | or atleast it WAS | 20:03 |
| theholyduck | until i like manualy uninstalled it. | 20:03 |
| bofh80 | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GS] (rev a2) | 20:03 |
| theholyduck | and then reinstalled all the apps it depended on | 20:03 |
| theholyduck | and then reinstalled itself | 20:03 |
| bofh80 | sounds like fun | 20:03 |
| theholyduck | didnt take much time | 20:03 |
| flipstar | sorry i didnt even knew what joker was until today..i just install nvidia driver 171.05 manally .. | 20:03 |
| theholyduck | if you're running hardy, | 20:04 |
| theholyduck | you need to expect to get down and dirty | 20:04 |

| flipstar | right .. a tool symbol | 20:20 |
| mrtimdog | ? No tool symbol. Are you meaning somewhere in a Nautilus browser window? | 20:22 |

| paulr | i'm thinking of moving to ubuntu for linux dist (having bounced aruond everything else) - would probably just run a hardy alpha as it's a dev box -- is it 'easy' to move between releases without doing a full box reinstall in ubuntu? ;/ | 20:40 |
| flipstar | yes it is paulr | 20:41 |
| flipstar | it just get comlicated when you overjump a release | 20:41 |
| flipstar | but in general its no problem | 20:41 |
| paulr | overjump as in move from an alpha to a final or as in move from 6 -> 8 ? | 20:42 |
| flipstar | no from edgy to gutsy for example | 20:42 |

| Flannel | Hey guys, I've got a question as to how Dapper -> Hardy upgrades are working if there's no linux-image-686 transitional packages in hardy? (or at least, not on the alt CD or in packages.ubuntu.com) | 20:49 |
| paulr | flipstar: now to work out how I want to get from gentoo to hardy ;) | 20:49 |
| flipstar | just run the live cd and check out how it works ;) | 20:50 |
| paulr | dont think running any live cd's gonna help me with that ;) | 20:50 |
| paulr | or any linux distribution either :P | 20:50 |
| theholyduck | paulr, | 20:51 |
| theholyduck | emerge debootstrap | 20:51 |
| theholyduck | :P | 20:51 |
| theholyduck | then use that to install the base system | 20:51 |
| theholyduck | then install the ubuntu-desktop package of your choice in that chroot | 20:51 |
| theholyduck | add the required lines to grub. | 20:51 |
| theholyduck | and you're good to go | 20:51 |
| flipstar | hmn few more with debootstrap .. | 20:52 |
| flipstar | just did that a week ago becorse of raid | 20:52 |
| paulr | theholyduck: erm, something makes me think your being serious :) | 20:52 |
| * paulr goes to hit google | 20:52 | |
| theholyduck | paulr, i am | 20:53 |
| theholyduck | you can install just about ANY linux distro from any linux distro | 20:53 |
| theholyduck | given the right tools | 20:53 |
| theholyduck | to install debian based distros. you need debootstrap | 20:53 |
| theholyduck | i bet there is a simelar tool for rpm based distros | 20:53 |
| theholyduck | install cd's are just frontends to other tools | 20:53 |
| theholyduck | like the ubuntu installcd is just a frontend for chroot and debootstrap | 20:54 |
| theholyduck | pretty much | 20:54 |
| theholyduck | and some disk tools | 20:54 |
| theholyduck | and t3h likes | 20:54 |
| theholyduck | but in the end. anything that can be done by a cd. can be done by hand | 20:54 |

| bofh80 | oh, i feel like such a nub, trying to install the nvidia driver manually, says no matching blah blah, compile yourself, so i downloaded and unpacked the kernel header, but nvidia installer can't find /linux/versions or some such inside that folder, (the /linux/ is there, the versions aint) so it says bye bye :( | 21:02 |
| bofh80 | *kernel source rather | 21:02 |
| flipstar | sure you have the right headers ? | 21:03 |
| nemo | bofh80: that's rather hard to parse... | 21:03 |

| theholyduck | nemo, thats just a softlink though | 21:05 |
| nemo | yes :) | 21:05 |
| nemo | but is the *standard* softlink :-p | 21:05 |
| theholyduck | indeed | 21:05 |

| theholyduck | first of all. | 21:11 |
| MenZa | I mean, my touchpad *works*, but I don't have a scroll on the right, tap and drag and such | 21:11 |
| theholyduck | it reports false cpu temps | 21:11 |

| theholyduck | while. bios says my cpu temp is 30 degrees. and my fan spining nice cool air into my hand says its not 85 | 21:12 |

| nemo | $ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature | 21:12 |
| nemo | temperature: 40 C | 21:12 |
| theholyduck | i even have my bios to cut power at 45 degrees C | 21:12 |
| nemo | which, on my board, is reported from the AMD chip. | 21:12 |
| theholyduck | but yeah. my bios seems to be horribly broken in terms of acpi | 21:13 |
| theholyduck | so i just opened up bios and disabled all acpi functions | 21:13 |
| theholyduck | but there is probaly a upgrade i can do. | 21:13 |
| theholyduck | to fix it | 21:13 |

| theholyduck | thats way easier | 21:14 |
| theholyduck | ANY distro with chroot + mount | 21:15 |
| bofh80 | *sob* - well it compiled. and configured everything. then flicked, and flicked and dropped. sigh :(. did someone say they had a newer nvidia driver i could try? :P | 21:15 |
| theholyduck | can install gentoo | 21:15 |
| nemo | theholyduck: heh. heck, I helped a friend install gentoo on a sun box using the sun network boot :) | 21:15 |
| theholyduck | bofh80, loaded the nvidia kernel module? | 21:15 |
| nemo | theholyduck: machine didn't have an external cdrom drive or any other way to launch it, since it was SANS sun OS | 21:15 |
| MenZa | nemo: sure :) | 21:15 |
| theholyduck | its much more fun to install ubuntu from gentoo | 21:16 |
| bofh80 | theholyduck, it appears you have me again, what is it i'm supposed to do? :) install it? i'll check synaptic now . . . | 21:16 |

| theholyduck | try that atleast | 21:16 |
| theholyduck | nvidia should have COMPILED the kernel module. but i dunt know if it loads it | 21:17 |

| nemo | theholyduck: screen ? | 21:22 |
| theholyduck | nemo, well that too | 21:22 |
| theholyduck | + framebuffer console | 21:22 |
| nemo | theholyduck: screen + w3m + centerim :) | 21:22 |
| theholyduck | i love how mplayer has a framebuffer output | 21:22 |
| theholyduck | and links -g | 21:23 |
| nemo | I like w3m's UI better | 21:23 |
| nemo | navigation and tabs are more pleasant to use | 21:23 |
| nemo | theholyduck: you're aware you can run gtk apps directly against the framebuffer? :) | 21:24 |
| theholyduck | yeah | 21:24 |
| theholyduck | i just never been arsed trying to | 21:24 |
| theholyduck | i dont really have any apps that REQUIRES me to have a gui | 21:24 |
| MenZa | win | 21:25 |
| MenZa | works fine now | 21:25 |
| MenZa | thanks, nemo! | 21:25 |
| theholyduck | do you know any live cd that has support for the broadcom chipsets included? | 21:25 |
| theholyduck | so that i could install gentoo on em. over wifi | 21:26 |
| nemo | theholyduck: ubuntu's doesn't? | 21:26 |
| theholyduck | i havent tried | 21:26 |
| theholyduck | but ubuntu is not OPTIMAL for gentoo install :P | 21:26 |
| MenZa | roll your own then, theholyduck | 21:26 |
| theholyduck | i GUESS i could | 21:26 |
| nemo | yeah, actually... | 21:26 |
| theholyduck | i dont like ubuntus default terminals | 21:26 |
| nemo | isn't that hard to unpack the gentoo ISO | 21:26 |
| nemo | and repack it with the wireless drivers on it | 21:26 |
| nemo | although why you wouldn't just put them on a usb memory stick... | 21:27 |
| theholyduck | well. | 21:27 |
| nemo | theholyduck: waitasec. I've install gentoo using ubuntu and knoppix before | 21:27 |
| theholyduck | id need em compiled for the distro atleast | 21:27 |
| nemo | theholyduck: pretty much anything will work | 21:27 |
| theholyduck | nemo, hmm. last time i tried knoppxi | 21:27 |
| theholyduck | the wifi didnt work | 21:27 |
| theholyduck | on the broadcom laptop | 21:27 |
| nemo | theholyduck: ok. you're a gentoo user and you can't figure out how to compile a generic kernel mod that matches the kernel version of the live cd you are using :) | 21:27 |
| theholyduck | anything will work. but ubuntu has such ugly terminals | 21:27 |
| theholyduck | methinks | 21:28 |
| theholyduck | nemo, :P | 21:28 |
| theholyduck | i can figure it out :) | 21:28 |
| theholyduck | its just lazy | 21:28 |
| nemo | gnome-terminal is ugly? | 21:28 |
| theholyduck | nemo, yes | 21:28 |
| theholyduck | very | 21:28 |
| * nemo shrugs | 21:28 | |
| theholyduck | i prefer something like aterm | 21:28 |
| theholyduck | :P | 21:28 |
| nemo | does aterm finally support utf-8? | 21:28 |
| * nemo checks | 21:28 | |
| theholyduck | i dont do much in terms of utf-8 | 21:29 |
| theholyduck | terminal wise | 21:29 |
| theholyduck | :P | 21:29 |
| Gnine | all hail theholyduck view of terminals | 21:29 |
| theholyduck | Gnine, why? | 21:29 |
| theholyduck | :P | 21:29 |
| bofh80 | theholyduck, guess what :) - (modprobe nvidia) FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia :( - i rebooted. same .... any ideas? | 21:29 |
| nemo | theholyduck: utf-8 kicks ass on the terminal | 21:29 |
| Gnine | not | 21:29 |
| nemo | theholyduck: http://m8y.org/tmp/ibmfilter.txt <- for example, my nethack remap to make it purtier :) | 21:30 |
| lavish | Jouva: hi :) | 21:30 |
| nemo | the actual script not being mine | 21:30 |
| nemo | I think Fwiffo made it | 21:31 |
| Jouva | lavish: I was just joining to ask something else but I was going to let you know the first thing in the topic was probably what you just asked about ;) | 21:31 |
| lavish | Jouva: ahah I'm reading :) | 21:31 |
| bofh80 | ok i just read up, hey flipstar where'd you get that driver from? | 21:32 |
| Jouva | Is anybody aware if the USB issue with Dimension E310s has been fixed in Hardy? Some were blaming it on a bad USB driver in the Linux kernel, yet Knoppix supposedly boots and installs just fine. | 21:33 |
| flipstar | bofh80: which one ? the 171.05 ? | 21:33 |
| bofh80 | flipstar, yes pls, the 169 is giving me fatal error | 21:34 |
| flipstar | you can find it on nvidias ftp ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/171.05/ | 21:34 |
| bofh80 | flipstar, nice one thank you | 21:34 |
| flipstar | bofh80: but remember its a beta driver | 21:34 |
| bofh80 | flipstar, yeh well the stable one aint working :). and hardy is alpha ;p | 21:35 |
| bofh80 | flipstar, there are 2 packages? | 21:35 |
| bofh80 | flipstar, i'm still waitinf ro the read me to load, ftp is slow ass :) | 21:36 |
| flipstar | pkg is the right one | 21:36 |
| flipstar | you could use prozilla to accelerate .. | 21:36 |
| flipstar | *pkg1.run | 21:36 |
| bofh80 | flipstar, ohh it kicked into like | 21:37 |
| bofh80 | life * | 21:37 |
| bofh80 | here we go again :) cheers flipstar | 21:37 |
| lavish | Jouva: ok I read the entire bug report. Now I see there's no offical fix. What's the best thing to do? | 21:40 |
| paulr | theholyduck: thinking a format might be easier ;P | 21:41 |
| paulr | although, does http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php/Debootstrap_Ubuntu_from_Gentoo look like a reasonable set of steps to follow as a process (also the link under 'why') | 21:42 |
| ubuntu_ | erp | 21:44 |
| ubuntu_ | erk | 21:44 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as heret1c | ||
| theholyduck | paulr, its pretty simple eh | 21:45 |
| flipstar | theholyduck: did you ever tried it ? | 21:46 |
| bofh80 | hey up. right, needed to install the linux-restricted-modules, i missed the fact of the 386 version again till i checked on the command line :(. all sorted thanks for your help theholyduck and flipstar got me there :D | 21:46 |
| theholyduck | flipstar, i've installed debian | 21:46 |
| theholyduck | that way | 21:46 |
| theholyduck | a couple of times | 21:46 |
| theholyduck | ubuntu would be even easier | 21:47 |
| Jouva | lavish: I'd know as much as you ;) I was hoping to give Hardy a try myself. | 21:47 |
| flipstar | hm i just installed ubuntu that way and needed about 3 attemps.. | 21:47 |
| flipstar | missed little details every time | 21:48 |
| theholyduck | how can you miss details... | 21:49 |
| theholyduck | hmm | 21:49 |
| theholyduck | maybe ubuntu is more complicated than debian like that | 21:50 |
| weltschmerz | suddenly my windows have no borders, and i cannot select things or really do much of anything. failsafe works. | 21:50 |
| flipstar | like remount proc+sysfs | 21:50 |
| flipstar | so i occured wired errors | 21:50 |
| weltschmerz | anyone know what this could be, or could some sort of xorg.conf reconfiguration fix it? | 21:50 |
| theholyduck | flipstar, well | 21:51 |
| theholyduck | anyone whos EVER done a gentoo install | 21:51 |
| theholyduck | knwos you need to mount proc and /dev | 21:51 |
| theholyduck | into the new chroot :P | 21:51 |
| flipstar | weltschmerz: you probably using compiz without window manager..try install emerald | 21:51 |
| flipstar | theholyduck: right i did that but you need to remount after updating.. | 21:51 |
| nemo | weltschmerz: do you use compiz fusion? | 21:51 |
| flipstar | i missed that | 21:52 |
| nemo | oh. flipstar guessed same thing | 21:52 |
| theholyduck | flipstar, you do? | 21:52 |
| nemo | weltschmerz: they answer the "no borders" thing about twice a day in the compiz fusion channel | 21:52 |
| flipstar | one time, yes | 21:52 |
| weltschmerz | nemo i was using compiz (desktop effects, right) | 21:52 |
| nemo | weltschmerz: you can of course switch to metacity while fixing. | 21:52 |
| weltschmerz | now it says the composite module or something like that isn't available. | 21:52 |
| weltschmerz | lemme try to install emerald. | 21:53 |
| theholyduck | flipstar, im fairly sure i never did that | 21:53 |
| nemo | weltschmerz: naw. just go to #compiz-fusion | 21:53 |
| theholyduck | why would you need to remount. and after updating what? | 21:53 |
| nemo | weltschmerz: they've covered it before | 21:53 |
| weltschmerz | okay. | 21:53 |
| flipstar | after apt-get update and i dont know | 21:53 |
| theholyduck | flipstar, i dont THINK i had to do that | 21:53 |
| nemo | weltschmerz: well. I guess I should say, you don't have to *not* use emerald :) | 21:53 |
| theholyduck | nor did i run apt-get update | 21:53 |
| theholyduck | :P | 21:53 |
| nemo | just don't remember that being in their suggestions | 21:53 |
| flipstar | hmn i had to install dmraid so i had to .. | 21:54 |
| weltschmerz | what is emerald? | 21:54 |
| flipstar | an windows manager | 21:54 |
| flipstar | em decorator | 21:54 |
| flipstar | !info emerald | weltschmerz | 21:54 |
| ubotu | weltschmerz: emerald (source: emerald): Decorator for compiz-fusion. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.2+git20080205-0ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 250 kB, installed size 1312 kB | 21:54 |
| weltschmerz | why would it help me? | 21:55 |
| flipstar | you just said you have to windows decoration.. | 21:55 |
| flipstar | *no | 21:55 |
| nemo | flipstar: specifically an unmaintained window manager, but whatever :-p | 21:56 |
| weltschmerz | Errors were encountered while processing: python-apt, update-manager-core... | 21:56 |
| nemo | flipstar: hm. well, I may be lying there. n/m. | 21:56 |
| flipstar | emerald depends on python-apt ? | 21:57 |
| weltschmerz | that happens no matter what i do with apt-get | 21:57 |
| theholyduck | weltschmerz, yeah. | 21:57 |
| theholyduck | but it doesnt STOP | 21:57 |
| flipstar | yes just ignore that :) | 21:57 |
| theholyduck | what youre installing | 21:57 |
| theholyduck | so just ignore it :P | 21:57 |
| weltschmerz | Package update-manager-core is not configured yet. | 21:57 |
| theholyduck | weltschmerz, again. ignore it :P | 21:57 |
| flipstar | weltschmerz: see topic | 21:57 |
| theholyduck | those packages are broken. and will show up with all apt-getting. but just ignore em | 21:58 |
| theholyduck | your original install will till work | 21:58 |
| theholyduck | *still | 21:58 |
| theholyduck | like if i installed mplayer through apt-get. that error would come. but mplayer would still be installed | 21:58 |
| flipstar | i hope that will be fixxed soon..i have issues with programs that depend on that.. | 21:59 |
| flipstar | like update-manager or command-not-found .. | 21:59 |
| blueyed | Is KDE3 and KDE4 crashing for somebody else currently? | 22:00 |
| weltschmerz | how will i be limited by running in failsafe mode? | 22:02 |
| flipstar | weltschmerz: when you select failsafe from login you just have a shell | 22:13 |
| flipstar | the python-apt thing is fixed. | 22:35 |
| lavish | flipstar: great! | 22:37 |
| lavish | flipstar: sorry for the question... how? :P | 22:40 |
| flipstar | sorry, ask an developer ;) | 22:40 |
| flipstar | just realized it with an apt-get update | 22:40 |
| ionstorm | does wine work in hardy | 22:44 |
| ionstorm | I cannot seem to get it to work | 22:44 |
| flipstar | you might try an older version.. | 22:45 |
| seeitcoming | Sorry to be a pain (I can read the topic...) but does any fix exist for #192992? The lp page is full of useless 'me too' comments and I can't filter out a decent workaround | 23:04 |
| ConstyXIV | installing from alpha4 cd, i got a "grub-install hd0 failed, this is a serious error". anything i can do? | 23:05 |
| flipstar | yes seeitcoming | 23:05 |
| flipstar | just update | 23:05 |
| seeitcoming | flipstar: unconventional fix, I must say :) | 23:07 |
| seeitcoming | only to be replaced by some jockey errors. YA | 23:08 |
| seeitcoming | Y | 23:08 |
| weltschmerz | i think my problems with having no window borders began after i first started using compiz yesterday. | 23:16 |
| flipstar | you started emerald ? | 23:17 |
| ConstyXIV | weltschmerz: are you getting compiz-like effects? | 23:20 |
| ConstyXIV | weltschmerz: pull up a terminal (applications->accesories->gnome-terminal), then type "ps auxw | grep compiz | 23:22 |
| ConstyXIV | no quotes, of course | 23:22 |
| weltschmerz | consty i was getting them yes. | 23:40 |
| weltschmerz | not now. | 23:41 |
| weltschmerz | that ps produces nothing but the search itself. | 23:41 |
| ConstyXIV | weltschmerz: then you're not running compiz at all. run "compiz" in a terminal and see what happens | 23:45 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | the pycentral bug still not fixed? it has been around almost 2 days... | 23:47 |
| flipstar | it is already fixed [Gutsy]TuTUXG | 23:49 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | flipstar, the bug is still open | 23:49 |
| flipstar | did you updated ? | 23:49 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | flipstar, "Sorry, the program "pycentral" closed unexpectedly ... " | 23:52 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | that's what i got | 23:52 |
| dan__ | Hello There. Been looking at the hardy blueprints. Is the new theme still going ahead, i thought it read somewhere that it was postponed till 8.10. Or are the blueprints a little behind? thanks | 23:52 |
| flipstar | [Gutsy]TuTUXG: here it is working | 23:53 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | flipstar, so it's not officially "Fixed"? | 23:53 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | I know there are patches, work arounds, what i need is real fix | 23:54 |
| flipstar | i just updated few hours ago..since then it worked again | 23:54 |
