mbrushI got a pc that i just formatted the hard drive ... is hardy ready for mainstream use?  or should I just stick with gutsy for now?00:45
AtomicSparkmbrush: better stick with gutsy. ;)00:48
BaD_CrCi'm using alpha 4. i wouldn't suggest using it on a production system or a system where you will have stuff you value.00:48
mbrushit's just for fun00:48
mbrushi wanna see if i can get my LCD working00:48
BaD_CrCtry plugging it in and turning it on?00:49

AtomicSparkyeah just for fun then youll come in here bitching about driver issues. lol jk.00:49
mbrushyeah, probs with 1680x1050 .... i've spent far too many hours trying to get it to work00:49
BaD_CrCget the windows .inf file for the monitor and transpose the resolutions and frequencies into the xorg.conf file00:50
BaD_CrCthat's what i had to do with my 32" wide viewsonic lcd00:50
mbrushI got the HV freqs from the manual00:51
mbrushI've tried a whole pile of different stuff with the xorg.conf ... it goes to 1680x1050 but it's all stretched out and beyond the edge of the screen00:52
BaD_CrCwhat video driver?00:53
BaD_CrCand what's the lcd's native resolution?00:53
mbrushATI AIW (tried 'ati' and 'fglrx') and 1680x105000:55

RAOFCarlFK: The button you may be after is "xrandr --auto"01:21
mbrushanyone know of a site where people post their xorg.conf and make/model of their vid/monitors?01:22

nerdygirl_ellieHi all.02:39
nerdygirl_ellieI just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 on a development machine with update-manager -d.  My grub.conf was set to access the HDD by UID, and that doesn't seem to work.  It's dropping me to a busybox prompt.  Can anyone help?02:40
Dr_willischange the UUID to the  /dev/hd# or sd# perhaps.02:41
nerdygirl_ellieAdditional Data:  if I insmod ide-core ide-generic and ide-disk, my /dev/hd* show up and I can mount them, but I'm not sure how to do that upstream in grub.02:41
Dr_willisi thought most ide disks are now shown as the /dev/sd## type notation .02:41
Dr_willisbefor loading those modules try sudo fdisk -l, to see what disks are seen.02:42
nerdygirl_ellieAFAIK, that's SATA, but I don't know.  (going to get the test laptop, brb)02:42
Dr_willisThe changes to the ide subsystem are making  most of my machines show their IDE disks as scsi disks these days.   I got a few that still show them as  hd##02:43

Dr_willisfrom what i hear just Looking at your laptop battery wears them out.02:55
nerdygirl_ellieAdditional Data point.  My issue does not seem to occur with one of the older new kernels.*  specific version in a second...  The hd was not recognised as /dev/hd* or /dev/sd* on the new new kernel, but is /dev/sd* on the older new kernel.02:56
Dr_willisits amazing how short a lifespan those things seem to have02:56

Mark_MillimanVista that is04:18
FlannelHey 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)04:19
Mark_Millimanwith SAMBA this machine serves up music, pictures and files to the Win boxes and no one knows any different04:20
Mark_Millimanouch!04:20
Mark_MillimanHaven't tried that one04:20
Mark_MillimanI have always gone from current release to current release04:21
FlannelWell, dapper is current04:21
Mark_MillimanGuess so04:21
Flannelnot that edgy -> hardy will work, but LTS to LTS is half the point of LTS04:21
Mark_Millimantrue04:22
Mark_MillimanI just went from Dapper to Edgy to Fiesty to Gutsy to Hardy04:22
asdrubalMark_Milliman, aren't you afraid of hard drive fragmentation?04:23
asdrubalI like clean installs04:23
Mark_MillimanDuring the Hardy upgrade I had a USB device go down that caused me to completely rebuild my system04:23
asdrubalpack that data in there tightly04:23
Mark_MillimanI decided it was time for a clean install04:23
Mark_MillimanI typically keep all of my packages updated04:23
Flannelasdrubal: ext3 doesn't really suffer from fragmentation04:23
Mark_Millimanthat has kept me away from transitional packages04:23
Mark_Millimanext3 and all *nix file systems handle fragmentation well04:24
mcquaidLTS to LTS is a good point. you'd think that should work04:24
Mark_MillimanI keep a running list of all of the non-distro packages I install.  I had to rebuild/compile a handful of packages on this rebuild04:25
Mark_Millimanthat keeps everything fresh04:25
FlannelIt will/does/whatever, people have been testing.  I'm just wondering how it actually does work, since I don't see transitional packages04:25
AtomicSparki hear from other irc users that upgrading will slow your machine down. donno how.04:25
Mark_MillimanLTS to LTS should be supported04:25
mcquaidMark_Milliman, I just remove my checkinstalls/3rd party reps installs before upgrage04:25
mcquaidupgrade04:25
cwilluFlannel, I'd expect the upgrader manually installs new packages rather than letting aptitude handle it automatically04:25
Mark_MillimanSomewhere on the Ubuntu web site there is an explanation of the upgrade process04:26
Flannelcwillu: Isn't that a stupid way of doing it though?  Personally, I'd prefer not to have to use update-manager-core04:26
Mark_MillimanI have only had minor issues when upgrading distributions04:26
AtomicSparkhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSUpgradesHowto?highlight=%28upgrade%2904:26
AtomicSparkdapper > hardy04:26
Mark_Millimancool Atomic04:26
asdrubalDo you guys know what's wrong with the cx88-alsa.ko module in 2.6.24-8? it hasn't worked since 2.6.24-404:27
FlannelWe know its supported, its apparently working too.  Just not how it was supposed to work last I inquired about it (about a year ago)04:27
AtomicSparkthere was a more indepth page but i just found that while searching04:27
Flannelmaybe more like six months, but still.  Seems awkward to not just have proper trans packages04:27
Mark_MillimanIsn't the purpose of the upgrade-manager to make life easier Flannel?04:27
mcquaidok cool. i didn't know dapper > hardy worked04:27
mcquaidso if it can do taht, why not edgy? just curious04:28
FlannelMark_Milliman: Its to make sure people don't screw up their system while upgrading, by removing third party repos, and doing some sanity checks before upgrading.  Thats it.04:28
AtomicSparkhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSUpgrades more about it. states some potential issues.04:28
FlannelIve read that page.  It doesn't address anything technical04:29
AtomicSparkyou have to go from edgy > fiesty > gutsy04:29
AtomicSparkthre is a page explaining you cant skip.. still looking.04:29
Mark_MillimanExactly to make Linux easy for the uneasy04:29
Flannelmcquaid: Technically you could do edgy. It's not supported, but it is doable if you know what you're doing04:29
Mark_MillimanNot all of us are command line jockeys04:29
mcquaidok. just curious doesn't really apply to me. I havea gutsy box and a dapper box that I never got around to upgrading04:29
AtomicSparkwow. its on the main page. lol.04:29
AtomicSparkhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes04:29
AtomicSparkthat explains all.04:30
FlannelMark_Milliman: I prefer it if my server didn't have it's life in some blackbox's script hands.  Not that its source isn't out there, I'd just prefer an actual explanation of why it wasn't done the easy way (and how it actually works)04:30
Mark_MillimanHell, I have been using *nix for 20+ years and I still don't know all of the intricacies of package-manager.  That is why I use the dumb GUI most of the time.04:30
FlannelMark_Milliman: but mostly, its just for my own knowledge, since I know I'm going to have to debug botched upgrades in #ubuntu once may comes around04:30
AtomicSparki just recently discovered using add/remove programs is easier then package manager. ha. i use that now. :P04:30
Mark_MillimanFlannel, I see your point which is why we have both methods.  I also wanted to understand what would happen when I upgraded.04:31
AtomicSparki didnt understand the difference at first. they should explain it better.04:31
FlannelMark_Milliman: basically, transitional packages (along with metapackages) get upgraded, and drag the rest of the versions along with them (metapackages and transitional packages take care of package name changes, like GAIM to pidgin, and whatnot)04:32
Mark_MillimanWhether through the GUI or CLI I always want to know what will be happening and how it will affect my custom kernel, drivers, and non-distro programs.04:32
mcquaidi'm glad they finally added (back) the ability to install without formatting home04:32
mcquaidyou used to be able to, then they removed it from the live cd, i enquired about it and found out it was a feature. lol04:32
Flannelmcquaid: I don't think it ever went away, unless you're talking about some Hardy alpha04:32
mcquaidyes it left from live cds for awhile now.04:33
mcquaidonly the alt installer could you uncheck format filesystem04:33
Mark_MillimanI didn't use the live cd until I had to rebuild from scratch04:33
Flannelmcquaid: In hardy then?  since I know Gutsy allows you04:33
Mark_MillimanIt formatted root and home04:34
mcquaidgutsy doesn't not allow you to.04:34
mcquaiderr does not..04:34
Mark_MillimanFlannel, I have a stupid IRC question.  How are you sending me private messages in the main window?04:34
Mark_Millimanover the years I have become Windows lazy and didn't come back to IRC until a year ago or so04:35
FlannelMark_Milliman: these aren't private, they're simply prefixed with your name, so your client highlights them, just like you juts did to me.04:35
Mark_Millimanaaah04:36
Mark_Millimanso Chatzilla is doing that for me04:36
AtomicSparkyes04:37
AtomicSparki noticed pidgin has an option for ssl. does any irc server actully use ssl?04:37
mcquaidhere's the wiki on this new 'feature' of keeping one's home:04:37
mcquaidhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityPreserveHome04:37
mcquaidwell it's kind of good i guess, it checks if there's an existing nix install and removes basically everything except /home04:38
mcquaidbefore, I did the equivalent manually.  I mounted the part via a live cd.  Deleted everything except home (to get a clean install cause of problems I had)04:38
mcquaidI've done this in the past without issue. But gutsy won't allow you if home occupies the / dir instead of it's own part04:39
AtomicSpark"if it gets approved" you sure its a feature of a current release?04:39
AtomicSparkyou mean if home is not its own partition? ;)04:39
mcquaidi thought they were boasting this as a new feature of hardy04:40
AtomicSparkmaybe it is. it might not be in the current version.04:40
AtomicSparkthe blueprint is hard to understand. :\04:40
mcquaiderr if /home is in it's own part there's no issue.  If one installs all of ubuntu to one part, it forces a format with the live cd (even if you uncheck format part)04:41
mcquaidwhereas the alt cd has always allowed you to uncheck format part04:41
AtomicSparkhmm. i know they're working on moving some features from alt cd to the live cd.04:42
mcquaidi had to redownload the alt cd to accomplish this as I didn't have the space to back up my home04:42
AtomicSparklike encryption and adv partitioning.04:42
Flannelmcquaid: They never removed that feature.  If /home was on the same partition as /, you could never keep /home04:42
mcquaidyes you could.  i did it before04:43
mcquaidbefore dapper what was the release called again...04:43
FlannelHoary04:43
Flanneler, Breezy04:44
mcquaidok with hoary you could04:44
mcquaidor breezy04:44
mcquaidany before dapper iirc04:44
FlannelI'll fire up a breezy liveCD, but I don't think so.  Since that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.04:44
FlannelEr wait04:44
Flannelpre-dapper you can't install from a liveCD04:44
* Flannel isn't thinking.04:44
mcquaidi enquired when I couldn't and found out it was a new 'feature' cause some people installed ubuntu on existing installs (like say an old fedora install) and it caused issues04:44

njolhow to "make install" debian way?05:58
CarlFKnjol: is there a .deb for any version of what you are building ?  (what are you building? )06:00
njolCarlFK: my bad, i also should "make" 1st, it is v4l-dvb driver and i guess i should make deb file and then install it06:01
CarlFKright.  "make a deb" is harder than it sounds06:01
CarlFKso I find some thing similar, use the 'config' from that06:02
CarlFKI have tried 2 or 3 times to make a .deb from scratch.  i gave up06:02
cdm10CarlFK: It depends on what you're making a .deb for... the process can vary widely.06:03
njolmmm i see, actually i have seen some simple commands for doing it, but cant find it now, maybe i wrong06:03
CarlFKnjol: the command is: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -b06:04
njoli'll try that06:04
CarlFKbut it expects a bunch of files in your sources's debiain/ dir06:04
cdm10CarlFK: what? You need a working and configured /debian filesystem for dpkg-buildpackage to work06:04
cdm10ah, yes06:04
CarlFKyup.06:05
CarlFKnjol: don't suppose you can explain to me the difference between v4l and v4l2 drivers ?06:06

[Gutsy]TuTUXGDanaG, so does it make ur swap unrecorgnizable ?07:32
DanaGYeah, when I tried swapon, it said, "can't find swap signature", or something like that.07:33
[Gutsy]TuTUXGDanaG, i have to reformat my swap partition and manually change the uuid in fstab to make it mountable07:33
DanaGTo fix it, use mkswap on the partition -- but be very very sure you have the right partition!07:33

Raspberryall of the applets seem to work, but I can't click on open apps on the bottom tray ... or launchers on the top or the menus on the top10:21

njoldpkg-reconfigure -phigh xorg-server, not sure about "xorg-server"11:38
compwiz18I think it might be xorg-xserver11:39
njolxserver-xorg it is11:40
compwiz18I always get it backwards :)11:40
boxemallso it is "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" then?11:40
compwiz18try one, try the other11:40
compwiz18it's either xserver-xorg or xorg-xserver11:41
scizzo-boxemall: isnt that documented in the xorg.conf file in the top?11:41
boxemallwhat does this "-phigh" mean?11:41
compwiz18# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated11:41
compwiz18# again, run the following command:11:41
compwiz18#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg11:41

capiira_so is ubuntu+1 worse than sid?15:28
Wander_wcapiira_: depends on your definition of worse15:28
capiira_worse like kill the whole system15:33
capiira_so that you need to reinstall15:34
capiira_but i think it can't be that bad so close before being released15:36
Wander_wcapiira_: well, Hardy is available as an live-cd, so you would be quite safe to try out15:41
nDuffinitrd ordering in hardy is broken when using lvm+dmraid -- lvm is in init-premount, while dmraid is in local-top; consequently, LVM tries to come up before dmraid devices are available, and uses the individual disks as PVs rather than the array device  (when in a raid1). There are a few other things that need to be done before dmraid+lvm will work, but the rest are fairly minor patches to the initramfs lvm2 script and some modifications15:41
nDuff to the default /etc/lvm/lvm.conf; if I put a patch together today, is there a reasonable chance of getting this in this release?15:41

CarlFKhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile  steps here arent working for me on hardy.  I currently have just a debian dir, no source.  is there a more up to date page, or know what needs to be adjusted?19:11
CarlFKapt-get source linux-source - maybe soource-source isn't what I wawnt.19:12
CarlFKapt-get source linux-image-generic - bet that is19:13
CarlFKrats. same thing.19:14
graftCarlFK: you want the source for 2.6.24?19:15
graftthe package for that is linux-source-2.6.2419:15
CarlFKthere isn't a meta package that gets the one for your current version?19:15
graftdunno19:16
graftanyway, that gets you what you want, doesn't it?19:16
graftwhy do you want a meta package?19:16
CarlFKso do i apt-get source inux-source-2.6.24 ?19:16
CarlFKlinux19:16

RaspberryI don't know if gnome is leaking memory or what19:19
Raspberrybut if you use the system for an hour or two if you click on the calendar... click somewhere else... then click through open apps, then clikc back on the calendar...the panel will lock up.19:20
Raspberryand now I've having similar behavior on the desktop19:20
Raspberryselect a couple of items on the desktop, right click... choose Trash or Delete or whatever it's called... and it locks when you Move to Trash and the desktop stops drawing -- so grabbing a window and moving it around causes the objects on the desktop to disappear19:21
Raspberrynot to mention the popup right-click menu is still there :)19:21
Raspberrythese behaviors started with the updates from last night19:21
Raspberryyup .. .my panel and desktop are unresponsive :)19:22
RaspberryI'm installing the new gnome-applet update that came out this morning... we'll see if that fixes it19:22
CarlFKgraft: so where does it install the source to?19:23
graftCarlFK: /usr/src? I don't remember19:24
CarlFKusr/src has linux-source-2.6.24.tar.bz219:25
CarlFKsurprised it didn't untar it19:25
graftit hates you19:26
CarlFKjoin the club19:26

CarlFKit works on .24, just 100x slower19:28

graftCarlFK: have you never built a kernel before?19:31
graftCarlFK: type 'make menuconfig'19:31
graftCarlFK: then, configure your kernel19:32
graftthen build it19:32
CarlFKyeah, trying to do it the "make a .deb" way19:32
graftoh19:32
h3sp4wn_There is a few ways - read man make-kpkg (install kernel-package)19:32
h3sp4wn_learn to use the ubuntu kernel build system19:32
CarlFKI need to eat lunch :)19:33
h3sp4wn_(There is docs on that) or there is a target just make deb I think it is19:33
CarlFKwas hoping to let the cpu spin and make sure I had everything19:33
CarlFKI have gotten pretty good with patching app packages.  figured this would be similar19:34
