macogwwow.... hardy's handling of X is even worse than gutsy's.  i'm kinda surprised that's possible.00:08
Arwenmacogw, how so?00:09
macogwgutsy had the info from displayconfig-gtk still at least showing in the xorg.conf00:09
macogwhardy shows no info whatsoever and claims that it's configured00:09
macogwdisplayconfig-gtk is actually dead weight though, so it's not00:09
Arwenthe less crowding in xorg-conf the better00:09
macogwand "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" is STILL broken00:10
Arwenis it? works fine for me00:10
macogwall it does is backup the xorg.conf and quit00:10
RAOFIf by "broken" you mean "writes minimal xorg.conf", yes.00:10
Arwenmacogw, we have xrandr and other yay features in X now00:10
macogwi mean it only asks questions about the keyboard00:10
Arwenno need for 100 page long cons00:10
Arwenconfs*00:10
macogwthere is no offer to pick a graphics driver00:10
macogwor a resolution00:10
Arwenyou shouldn't have to, but..00:11
RAOFmacogw: Yes.  that's right.  Xorg is moving away from static configuration, to hotplugging & stuff.00:11
Arwenif you need to, you can edit the file and force a driver (like for fglrx)00:11
macogwwell how do i change my resolution if displayconfig-gtk is 100% useless?00:11
Arwenxrandr -s resolution00:11
RAOFmacogw: System->Preferences->Screen Resolution doesn't work?00:11
macogwit says its 1280x800 but it looks like 1024x76800:12
void^what's new about xrandr?00:12
macogwscreens & graphics thing shows no options for driver, shows no screens in existence, shows no options for resolution...00:12
Arwen!info firefox-3.0-dev00:12
RAOFmacogw: Yes.  Screens & graphics *is* broken at the moment.00:12
ubotufirefox-3.0-dev (source: firefox-3.0): Development files for Mozilla Firefox. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0~b3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4 (hardy), package size 8 kB, installed size 128 kB00:12
Arwensomeone ought to get around to fixing that00:12
RAOFArwen: What's broken with it?00:13
Arwenlook at the size00:13
Arwencompared to...00:13
Arwen!info firefox-2-dev00:13
ubotufirefox-2-dev (source: firefox): Development files for Mozilla Firefox. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.0.12+2nobinonly+2-0ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 3124 kB, installed size 25048 kB00:13
Kuniflipstar: yes, I had major trouble, what with the restricted-modules not able to be installed for some reason and whatnot.00:13
RAOFArwen: Right, yes.  Ok.00:13
RAOFmacogw: If Screen Resolution says that it's 1280x800, that would be what the driver is reporting.  So, either it *is* 1280x800, or the driver is broken.00:14
macogwok xrandr is a weird thing00:14
macogwRAOF: or i got *really* used to that 1920x1480 on my roommate's old laptop while mine was having 1/2 the hardware replaced00:15
RAOFmacogw: that's not totally unlikely :)00:15
macogwsorry apparently this really is 1280x80000:15
RAOF:)00:15
macogwim gonna go set the font size to 8px...00:15
macogwdot files sure take a long time to copy to flash drives...00:16
macogw9MB copied in 10 minutes O_o00:16
macogwok how do i get vertical scroll back on my touchpad?  is there a new non-xorg way to do that too?00:17
RAOFmacogw: Apparently we will be modifying the driver to not require SHMConfig.  However, at the moment, no.  YOu have to fix it in xorg.conf.00:19
Arwenmacogw, 1920x1480?00:19
macogwArwen: or something insane like that...1920x120000:20
Arwenoh, 1920x1200 isn't that unusual00:20
* Arwen wants a 1920x1440 display. w00t for HD 4:3./00:20
macogwits unusually large for a laptop00:20
macogwespecially considering that laptop is about 3 years older than mine00:21
nemomy ubuntu machine is running 1680x105000:21
nemo8:5 :)00:21
macogwmine maxes at 1280x80000:21
nemosame ratio though00:22
macogwi still think having a gradient of some sort on the panels by default instead of plain white would look nice00:22
macogwthe new background is very pretty00:22
nemomacogw: ... sooo why don't you create a gradient?00:23
nemois not like adding a background image to the panel is hard...00:23
macogwi know ive done it a bunch of times00:23
macogwi mean as part of the default setup on the live system and on first boot00:23
macogwi know its been suggested before on the art page in the wiki00:24
macogwduring edgy or feisty someone suggested a clear glass panel00:24
Kuniarwen: ew 4:3...00:25
macogwi dont get the desire for widescreens...00:25
Kunionce you go 8:5, there's no going back00:25
macogwas far as i can figure, that just means your vertical usable space gets cut00:25
RAOFmacogw: Two emacs buffers side by side, both 80 cols wide :)00:25
macogwer....so?00:25
Kunimacogw: on the contrary. You gain an extra page on the side, rather than losing space on top.00:25
macogwi use vim and it has wordwrap00:26
ArwenKuni, bah, "widescreen" displays are just an excuse to sell shorter monitors00:26
Kunilol00:26
macogwKuni: if you look at Lenovo's charts of screen size, you can see that a 14" widescreen is not as tall as a 14" standard00:26
RAOFmacogw: I find it extremely useful to have two full buffers of code side by side.  Say, the untittests and the code I'm writing for them.00:26
Arwenand wtf, oh newegg there are $1000 monitors that, as far as the specs go, are no different from $300 solutions00:26
Kuniyes, this is true, since it's measured diagonally, macogw.00:26
macogwwell with the current trend for docks, the widescreen gets even worse00:26
macogwbecause now your dock is using up the bottom inch of your screen00:27
Arwenmacogw, you can put the dock on the left00:27
KuniBut that's why I got a 17.1-inch laptop. :D00:27
macogwArwen: AWN can do that now?00:27
Arwen*shrug*00:27
Kunimacogw: no, but you can make the icons smaller.00:27
macogwthen they just get small enough that the precision needed to aim at the icons becomes inefficient00:28
Kunipersonally I love having two pages worth of space. It makes cross-window typing much easier.00:28
macogwoh i use Set Above for that00:28
macogwi hated that i couldnt keep Outlook on top of Firefox so i could reference an email and type in a form at the same time when i had to use Windows at work00:29
* Arwen is listening to Portal: Still Alive by Jonathan Coulton & GlaDOS on The Orange Box [Amarok]00:29
Arwenyay!00:29
Arwen"we're out of beta / we're releasing on time"00:29
Arwenunlike Ubuntu :-)00:29
KuniI guess when it's the difference between 1280x1024 vs 1280x800, i'd prefer the fullscreen. But when it's the difference between 1600x1200 and 1920x1200, give me the widescreen.00:29
KuniArwen: yay!00:29
Arwen1280x1024 is insanity, lol00:29
macogwwhy?00:29
Kuni5:4?00:29
FransQAre they ever going to include that spherical dock in AWN by default.00:29
macogwthat's what we use at my mom's house00:29
ArwenKuni, the correct comparison is 1920x1200 against 1920x144000:29
Arwenmacogw, that's way too square00:30
Arwenand 5:4 isn't very standard00:30
macogwi didnt even know it was 5:$00:30
macogw*5:400:30
KuniArwen: 'cept I'm comparing widescreen as the growing one, rather than fullscreen as the growing one, since widescreen is newer.00:30
macogwi just know its one of the things that 915resolutions can do on that card00:30
ArwenKuni, it's a new conspiracy to sell smaller displays00:30
Kunilol00:30
macogwoh no....upgrading that computer to hardy will be painful.  please tell me the i810 driver isnt going away?00:30
Kuniwell, fine, I'll take a 2560x160000:31
Arwenmacogw, indeed it is00:31
macogwcrap00:31
ArwenKuni, I'll stay with 4000:3000 thank you00:31
macogwthat computer's not being upgraded past gutsy ever then00:31
Kunirofl00:31
Kunidangit00:31
macogwthe intel driver doesnt work on it00:31
Arwenmacogw, you know that the "intel" driver supercedes it, right?00:31
Arwenor not00:31
Kuniwell, adios. I'm off for food00:32
macogwi had a nice long fight with it in december when i upgraded it to gutsy and decided to try the intel driver to see how it was not using 915resolution.  it was blackness.00:32
macogwmy year-old backup of xorg.conf came to the rescue00:32
macogwshe's got a i855, i think.  i guess it's too old for the new driver00:33
vwduderanyone notice today's python2.5 update is missing usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/_bsddb.so00:35
Arwen915resolution isn't supposed to be necessary anymore with intel, but oh well00:35
macogwi know it's not00:35
macogwi was trying intel to get away from 915resolution00:35
macogwbut it turns out that 915resolution doesnt work with the old i855 cards00:36
macogwbah i mean00:36
vwduder(therefore import bsddb fails)00:36
macogw but it turns out that intel doesnt work with the old i855 cards00:36
macogwguess i could just replace it when its time to upgrade...the card's been in its death throes for 3 years now00:37
Arweni855... card? not an integrated chip?00:37
Arwenand according to the manpage, it does cover i8xx chips00:37
macogwwell yes integrated00:37
macogwapparently not very well00:37
macogwi got stuck in a loop of black screen -> failsafe -> i tell the failsafe displayconfig to use intel and 1280x1024 -> black screen...wash, rinse, repeat00:38
macogwthe only way to get graphics was 640x480 (i think...might have gone all the way up to 800x600...?) with vesa00:40

x4caui had install hardy from an upgrade ... but it turns too slow on my laptop .. is it normal?02:09
macowhy does copying my .xchat-gnome from gutsy to hardy not result in my old settings being used?02:09
macoits acting like i have no settings pre-configured at all02:09
macoexample...it's using my login name in here by default instead of the nick i have set in my xchat configuration files02:10
x4caumaco,  I do not change anything on my xchat, and it continues like before02:11
x4cauwith all my confs02:11
macoi just copied my .gnome and .xchat-gnome and everything from gutsy02:11
maconone of my settings were kept though02:11
DanaGMust've forgotten .gconf02:11
macoi had only one panel and certain applets loaded in my old gnome settings... it looks like a default ubuntu install here though02:12

x4cauyeh .. it could be02:17
x4cauthere is a inverse way to fix this?02:17
x4caulike .. uninstall02:17

macoyou could try disabling some of the junk...umm....extra bonus features02:18
macolike tracker02:18
macoand bluetooth02:18
x4caui'll try ..02:18
DanaGWell, there's not quite "no" downgrading, but it's really really really ill-advised, and tricky to do.  I've done it, but I won't do it again -- not worth the hassle.02:18
macosystem -> admin -> services to get rid of bluetooth02:18

ChorcaHeyhey. Got a little CD/DVD installer issue on Hardy, wondering if'n anyone's had this..02:37
ChorcaThis has been happening since like Alpha 4, but I have a Gigabyte GA-7NNXP board with an Athlon XP processor.. When I boot the CD and select something from the menu, like install, or check cd for defects, I get the usplash screen that shows the kernel's booting, then it goes out and toggles my floppy drive like 7 times, then dumps me to a busybox prompt.02:39
Chorcahaven't seen anything on the forums about it yet, thought i'd ask here.02:39
beautifulsnowHey, for those who've updated to hardy.a5, is it worth it at the stage it's at?02:47
Chorcawhat're you at now?02:47
beautifulsnowgutsy and loving it02:48
ChorcaThere's still a few things broken.. I'm on A4 and trying to reinstall with A5 right now.. there's a bunch of improvements, but firefox-3.0 is the default and it's a bit flaky.02:48
beautifulsnowff3? O.o odd.02:49
beautifulsnowWell, thanks for letting me know, I'll wait a lil bit, or maybe try on my other computer :3 *dance dance dance*02:49
Chorcayeh, it's good, but there's a few little things here and there with Java and such. Was an update last night that knocked out nvidia driver support for  abit02:49
ChorcaHeh, yeah i don't know if i'd wanna upgrade a working gutsy install to an alpha hardy right now.. probably better off installing an alpha to a different drive or computer or something to play with it.02:50

macogwwhy'd they go and dumb it down?03:13
macogwno fun03:13
ChorcaThere was some reason, i never saw it.03:13
ChorcaI just know someone high up said that there would never be a screensaver config03:13
coz_macogw, I am not sure how good that will work out though I did it once and it worked but it was just a pain to have to open xscreensaver to use gnome screensaver03:13
macogwhowabout a package for the version of xscreensaver that passes keypresses so you can vote on electric sheep?03:14
macogwwell i think its confusing that gnome screensaver and xscreensaver both show in the menu as just "Screensaver" with the same icon03:14
coz_macogw, no I am not that into xscreensaver   sorry03:14
Chorcaheh, that would be confusing..03:15
ChorcaI don't know much about xscreensaver.. don't use them myself.03:15
macogwthe 2nd one is xscreensaver03:15
coz_macogw, use alacart to remove the one that is gnome screensaver from the menu03:15
Chorcathere hasn' tbeen a config since like dapper though03:15
coz_alacarte03:15
taggieanybody with laptops experiencing heat/battery problems since 2.6.24-10.16? after install, i could burn a hole in my lap.03:16
coz_xscreensaver is already a proven app  and I prefer it but as I said I rarely use screensavers anymore unless I use them with xwinwrap03:16
RayRaspiUbuntu really needs to get a better handle on their System Control Panel kinda stuff -- SuSE's control panel is the best... hell you can even configure all your tablet features from it03:16
coz_RayRaspi,  graphics tablet features?03:17
psyke83hi, has anyone else noticed slow scrolling in firefox 3, especially on Gmail?03:17
RayRaspicoz_: tablet / laptop ..03:17
coz_RayRaspi,  for sure  both suse and red hat excell at that  particularly  tablet configuration03:17
coz_RayRaspi, some people for ubuntu still argue that few people use these features why bother but that is not the right approach03:17
RayRaspicoz_: it just bums me out because I have to keep tweaking all kinds of things on the Ubuntu install -- I'd write a package to do allt he work, but it'd conflict with other packages :)03:18
RayRaspiI'm a developer / photographer and I use ubuntu03:18
coz_RayRaspi, yep they lack in good quality configuration for important things like graphics tablets etc03:18
RayRaspiI own two tablets a Toshiba M200 and a Thinkpad X61t03:18
macogwhmm i think  gnome-screensaver still has *something* going though03:19
coz_RayRaspi,  I am a bit jealkour we had a motion computin tablets03:19
macogwpreview on electricsheep in xscreensaver says electricsheep is already running03:19
coz_macogw, maybe disable it through gnome screensaver and start in in xscreensaver03:19
RayRaspiwe truly need a unified configuration / control panel for X03:20
coz_RayRaspi,  I would be happy with a well installed wacom driver  at this point03:20
RayRaspiwell I've seen SuSE do it with this hardware -- so i know it's possible03:21
RayRaspihowever SuSE's update process and intuitiveness is absolute garbage03:21
coz_RayRaspi,  suse is like single click and off you go if you like their settings03:21
RayRaspiif you want anything outside of the box with SuSE... good luck...03:21
RayRaspiit's slow and a pain to get setup03:21
coz_RayRaspi, I tried suste but i still prefer ubuntu03:21
RayRaspi... adding anything additional, I mean03:21
coz_suse03:21
RayRaspisame here03:21
coz_RayRaspi,  but talbet drivers are essential03:22
RayRaspimy tablet works fine03:22
RayRaspiI had to write my own screen rotate scripts03:22
coz_RayRaspi,  my wacom doesnt work at all on hardy03:22

DanaGplaces->connect to server is back.03:26
RayRaspilast time I tried to use that (last week) it'd just ask me for my password over and over03:26
RayRaspibut if I used Samba4k that worked fine with the same credentials03:27
DanaGAah, "Not Mounted" and then "Access Denied".03:27
DanaGLame.03:27
ChorcaI did the smb:/// thing in Nautilus and then set it to remember the password, after that it automatically mapped it to a desktop icon03:27
RayRaspiso Places -> Connect failed for you too?03:28
DanaGOdd: I connect to my home dir, yet the "sftp on <host>" takes me to the remote.03:29

psyke83hi, if anyone here notices firefox slow when scrolling gmail, let me know. I may have a solution for you to try03:51
ChorcaOh well, installing Alpha 5 now03:51
ChorcaMine was slow scrolling earlier.03:51
RoC_MasterMindi'm kinda just sick of how slow gmail is recently03:51
RoC_MasterMindthe whole thing03:51
RoC_MasterMindit used to be real fast.03:51
Arwenpsyke83, firefox is slow in general for me...03:52
DanaGThat was the most creative hostname anybody has suggested for me.  One of my friends suggested it.03:52
DanaGIt's way better than "m685", which is my model of laptop.03:52
DanaGI wonder what I'll name my next laptop.03:52
Chorcamine's "Lappy386"03:52
DanaGhomestarrunner.com?03:52
RoC_MasterMindyes03:52
Arwenathena@darknode:~$ echo Hello World! <-- yay for non-originality03:52
DanaGIf ATI's Linux drivers are good enough by fall, I'll probably get an HP 8510p.  However, that (8510p) would make a reallly lame hostname.03:54
Chorcai don't use numbers in hostnames.. too slow to type out.03:54
DanaGAnd using names of random anime characters would work, but it'd be a bit silly and embarrassing.03:55
psyke83Arwen, try installing gtk2-engines-murrine and then install my theme: http://connogriofa.googlepages.com/MurrinaHumanTest.tar.bz203:55
Arweneww, themes03:55
ArwenDanaG, anime = stupid cartoons03:55
Arwenthank you03:55
psyke83Arwen, trust me, heh. I believe the problem is widget rendering in Ubuntulooks03:55
=== Arwen is now known as anon32
psyke83all those "checkmark" boxes in Gmail's inbox causes a slowdown, I think03:55
anon32bah, I'm using gtk-qt for my current engine03:56
psyke83anon32, I dunno about that, but all the clearlooks-based engines are slow03:57
psyke83I'm not sure if the qt "translation" causes overhead; I don't have KDE installed so I don't use that03:57
DanaGI beg to differ with the "stupid cartoons".  It's more subjective than that.03:58
DanaGCertainly they're better than the average American cartoons I watched when I was younger.03:59

DanaGLight sensor is for dimming the LCD when in dark areas, and brightening it when in bright areas.05:25

Mark_MillimanChorca, the -8 kernel booted up with the proper nvidia driver05:39
AtomicSparkand what does that mean?05:39
RAOFThat would make sense.  Other accererometers tend be used by userspace tools.05:39
DanaGWell, it means that the device must somehow be exposed to userspace, but it's not a PCI device.05:39
DanaGI wonder where it is, then.05:39
AtomicSparkDanaG: on the harddrive itself?05:39
DanaGNo, it's a feature of the notebook, in this case.05:40
ChorcaUSB?05:40
DanaGPerhaps SMBus.05:40
AtomicSparkhmm.05:41
DanaGAah, DriveGuard and 3D DriveGuard are different.05:41
DanaGhttp://www.hp.com/sbso/special/computing/notebook-design-engineering05:41
DanaG" •A rigid mounting scheme has been tested and proven effective in dramatically reducing shock transmission to the hard drive. "05:42
DanaGSeems backwards to me.05:42
DanaGHeh, their video is a bit funny.05:44
AtomicSparkso. does mine shut down the drive on impact?05:44
DanaGApparently not.05:45
AtomicSpark"A lid switch policy places the system in standby when it's on DC power and the lid is closed, preventing the hard drive head from striking and potentially damaging the disk when the system is banged, bumped, or dropped while mobile." .. not in ubuntu.05:45
AtomicSpark:P05:45
DanaGSee the video?05:46
AtomicSparkno. says ie only.05:46
AtomicSpark:(05:46
DanaGMy Gateway actually has a spot where my palm has worn off the paint, and the underlying white plastic is exposed.05:46
DanaGHit 'okay'.05:47
DanaGJust don't try to seek.05:47
AtomicSparki did. nothing.05:47
macogwDanaG: so does mine on the left click button05:47
DanaGMy Gateway lid also has a floppy hinge on one side, and a bashed hinge cover on the other.05:47
AtomicSparkyeah im leaving shiny spots on mine already. had it less then a year.05:47
DanaGSounds like I could use one of those HP ones.05:47
AtomicSparkick. as you can tell the new hinges are stronger.05:48
AtomicSparkif you break them, you broke the lcd. lol.05:48
DanaGMine actually has a screw coming loose.  No thread locker, apparently.05:49
DanaGAnd the second screw on that side.... the head snapped off.05:49
Mark_Millimanstill can't view Windows client shares through Nautilus05:49
AtomicSparkhttp://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Intel_Real_Mode_Emulation_Problems05:49
Mark_Millimanbut I can see most of the network and servers05:49
AtomicSparkwill they ever get around this?05:49
AtomicSparkMark_Milliman: try "network" and then click on windows network, then the workgroup. :D most people miss that...05:50
DanaGHeh, "One knock is that HP included a plastic dummy insert for the the PCMCIA slot, a flap is preferable as those inserts are tricky and tend to get lost eventually."05:51
Chorcaif clicking network tells you it doesn't support that, then you probably don't have the nautilus update.05:51
DanaGMy cardbus slot flap BROKE on my Gateway.  And the ejector lever.... came out one day, and lost a spring.05:51
DanaGThe ejector lever is supposed to eject the card, not the lever.  Hah!05:51
Mark_MillimanAtomicSpark, did that too. Just have smb:/// in the location and nothing displayed.  There should be 4 machines currently present05:51
AtomicSparkDanaG: i like my insert. i play with it a lot.05:52
AtomicSparkits also not a pcmcia.. its a...05:52
* AtomicSpark looks05:52
AtomicSparkexpress card05:52
DanaGAnd one peeve of mine: PCMCIA is NOT THE SAME THING AS CARDBUS!05:53
AtomicSparkon that was my questoin, what does express card use? pci?05:53
Mark_MillimanWhat happened to Python.  Looks like it broke Miro05:53
Amaranthanyone use virt-manager?05:53
AtomicSpark*oh05:53
DanaGIf Creative calls their sound card a PCMCIA card, I should be able to stick it in an ISA-to-PCMCIA adapter.05:53
AmaranthMark_Milliman: Or Miro is just broken05:53
DanaGExpressCard is PCIe and USB2.0.05:53
Mark_MillimanIt worked just fine earlier today05:53
AtomicSparkneato. my laptop is leet. has new standards. expressy and SD.05:54
AmaranthMark_Milliman: An error log would be helpful05:54
AmaranthWe're not psychic05:54
Amaranth...or are we?05:54
DanaGThe 8510p has cardbus, and expresscard is only in the dock.05:54
AtomicSparkDanaG: you know you want the 6820s. mm full keyboard.05:55
Mark_MillimanNeed to fire up IRC client on Linux box05:55
ChorcaI want that new Thinkpad..05:55
Mark_Millimanto get a traceback05:55
DanaGI'm coming from a 7.5 pound 17" notebook, and I want a good discrete GPU.05:55
DanaG8600M or HD2600.05:55
AtomicSparktalking about full keyboard.. waht the hell is wrong with laptops and the numpad. i have to turn it off and then on again to get it to work. :|05:55
AtomicSparkso annoying.05:55
Amaranthyou have a numpad?05:56
Amaranththat must be a 17"05:56
AtomicSparki have a full keyboard... 17" widescreen lol05:56
AtomicSparkmy first laptop and i'm very happy with it.05:56
* AtomicSpark sighs05:57
AtomicSparki dont like how i have to disable kvm and acpi to just install a linux guest. i mean, they need to fix this.05:58
AtomicSparkinstalling shouldnt take hours.05:58
DanaGCurrrent notebook:  http://consumer.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTEyOSwxLCxoY29uc3VtZXI=05:58
macogwAtomicSpark: with what?05:58
macogwvirtualbox doesnt make you do that...05:59
Amaranthmine http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3010&review=dv8000t+Review05:59
Mark_MillimanLast update really hozed up things05:59
AtomicSparkwell unlike most 14 year olds, i don't use "virtualbox".05:59
DanaGBest thing I did with my notebook: stick a pair of rubber feet from an old SCSI CD tower on it.05:59
RAOFMan, 17"?  I kinda regret buing this 15" lappy :)05:59
AtomicSparkDanaG: why is your laptop so pricy? it doesnt have anything amazing on it. :-\06:00
DanaGHey, don't insult Virtualbox.  It's faster than Qemu/KVM, and it has a better UI than VMWare Workstation.06:00
DanaGI got it as a sort of scholarship, you could say.  It was Gateway or nothing.06:00
RAOFAtomicSpark: Bug report?  I've happily installed Sid under kvm many times.06:00
* AtomicSpark will insult things he never used06:00
macogwwhats wrong with virtualbox?06:01
AtomicSparkhow's KVM in hardy?06:01
AtomicSparkany improvements?06:01
RAOFMany.06:01
RAOFI think it even handles some of the real-mode things which would crash it earlier.06:01
AtomicSparkgood. i like kvm for some reason.06:01
RAOFAnd virt-manager rocks hard.06:01
AtomicSparkoh well that will fix a lot of my problems. :D06:01
DanaGOne thing to try: StarDock BootSkin, for Windows VMs.06:01
macogwDanaG: im never buying another gateway again.06:02
DanaGToo bad nobody makes a nice, powerful, switchable-gpu-or-igp (if possible), 14" tablet.06:02
AtomicSparkmacogw: nothing is wrong with it. i just have this thing about using stuff that is "cool". ubuntu's young following almost kept me from using it.06:02
macogwDanaG: ive had this one for 19 months.  it has been to the shop 3 times so far.  bah!06:02
DanaGThe best GPU in a tablet is the Go 7400 in the Gateway tablet.06:02
macogwAtomicSpark: er... "fast" and "free" dont matter?06:03
AtomicSparkhey did they ever get encrypted lvm in the live cd?06:03
ChorcaIt does kinda suck that the good GPUs are in the lame laptops. :/06:03
macogwas far as im concerned good GPU = intel06:03
RAOFDanaG: I _think_ you can get a ThinkPad X61 in about that sort of form factor.06:03
* AtomicSpark alt cd doesnt work on my laptop06:03
macogwopen source drivers :)06:03
ChorcaX300 :D06:03
macogwRAOF: there definitely is a thinkpad tablet either 14 or 15 inches06:04
DanaGIntel doesn't do discrete GPU!06:04
macogwi was playing on lenovo.com last night06:04
macogwdiscrete gpu?06:04
RAOFDanaG: Not until 2009/10, no :)06:04
macogwall i care is that one of these "restricted modules didnt get uploaded right" things doesnt break the graphics.  having open source graphics guarantees that.06:04
RAOFDanaG: But at least one of the X61s I looked at had a geforce 8600 on it.06:05
macogwall the ati and nvidia users were crying about their lost X in August '06 and i was going about my business, X working dandily.06:05
* AtomicSpark is shamely used envy06:05
* AtomicSpark made up a word06:05
DanaGI read changelogs first, before upgrading stuff.06:05
RAOFYou should be using nouveau, damnit :)06:05
DanaGLink me to this Lenovo, then.06:06
* AtomicSpark wonders if people can see his me commands06:06
macogwAtomicSpark: nope. they're invisible.06:06
* RAOF needs to update his PPA for teh -10 kernel.06:06
* AtomicSpark wonders what -10 kernels are. wonders why he always wants to spell it kernal.06:07
Chorca-10 is the new kernel that just fudged everyone's video06:08
AtomicSparkbut why is it -10? sounds like nice.06:08
RAOFChorca: Speak for yourself.  Some of us run x86-64 :)06:08
Chorcalol06:08
RAOFDanaG: Hm.  I don't seem to be able to; all the X61's seem to be using Intel graphics.06:09
AtomicSparki could.. but i like my flash and dont like workaround.06:09
Amaranthanyone use virt-manager?06:09
AtomicSparkand since most 64 bit software is just recompiled 32 and have no improvements, i lost interest in 64 for now.06:09
DanaGAnyway: what I want:  Durable, 14" or 15", with new midrange GPU.06:09
AmaranthAtomicSpark: What improvements do you think are 64-bit specific?06:09
RAOFAmaranth: Yup.06:09
AmaranthRAOF: you use it?06:10
RAOFDanaG: Oh.  Here we go: some of these (16.54.59|     DanaG)) Intel doesn't do discrete GPU!06:10
AtomicSparkfaster, stronger, better!06:10
AmaranthRAOF: what do you get when you run 'virsh -c qemu://system list'?06:10
RAOFDanaG: http://www-604.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=10000036&catalogId=-36&langId=036&categoryId=4611686018425096212&seriesid=2056940 <- fit.06:10
DanaGBad paste the first time?06:10
AmaranthAtomicSpark: it would be faster only if it could take advantage of the extra registers which the compiler does automatically06:10
DanaGStupid Quadro numbering.06:10
DanaGI can't tell what consumer card it corresponds to.06:11
AtomicSparkwell this website convenced me that unless im running more then 4gb, its not worth it. :\06:11
RAOFAmaranth: "Cannot access CA certificate"06:11
AmaranthAtomicSpark: yep06:11
AmaranthAtomicSpark: and it actually uses more memory in the general case06:11
macogwChorca: didnt fudge my video...06:11
macogwi have desktop effects and everything...06:12
RAOFBigger pointers, bigger longs!06:12
AmaranthIt only 'breaks' nvidia and fglrx because someone upgraded their kernel without making sure linux-restricted-modules was updated06:12
macogwDanaG: what does "discrete gpu" mean?06:12
AtomicSparkdiscrete graphics!06:12
AtomicSparkD:06:12
* AtomicSpark googles06:12
Amaranthmacogw: it has its own memory06:12
ChorcaA GPU that isn't integrated into the chipset?06:12
AmaranthChorca: So I would say if the -10 kernel broke your video you are probably not smart enough to be using hardy.06:13
atrushrm. something in an update in the last week or so broke my laptop's suspend-resume. on resume, the display blinks on, like it's setting a video mode, but then remains stuck on solid black. I can ctrl-alt-delete to reboot blindly, or hit the power button, which halts the machine, but otherwise can't switch consoles or anything else useful. Any suggestions as to where to start looking for the culprit?06:13
RAOFDarn.  Someone's broken virt-manager :(06:13
AmaranthRAOF: yep06:14
AtomicSparkits a deichi!06:14
AmaranthRAOF: i can't create a new image and virsh doesn't work06:14
RAOFAmaranth: I can't run my Sid VM06:14
DanaGDig around in /etc/default/acpi-support for video and vbe options.06:14
DanaGBut first: comment the defaults!  (yes, exclamation!)06:15
* AtomicSpark wants a server channel06:16
Amaranth#ubuntu-server06:16
AmaranthIf it doesn't exist I'll be surprised06:16
Chorca:P06:16
* RAOF knows it exists, because the server team hang in there.06:16
* AtomicSpark wonders why channels dont show06:16
DanaGhttp://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3708&review=ThinkPad+T6106:17
AmaranthRAOF: seems kvm is broken06:17
AmaranthRAOF: or rather the code for dealing with kvm in libvirt is broken06:17
ChorcaI think the fact is that I don't mind, cause I know how to fix it.06:17
Amaranthoh, i'm not in the kvm group06:17
AtomicSparkis there a kvm group?06:18

DanaGHmm, the ThinkPad is still a bit ugly to me.  Hmm, 1 extra pound for the sake of a bigger screen and a nicer appearance?  May be worth it.06:21
AtomicSparkKVM06:21

ChorcaHeh, they're pretty durable though..06:21
* macogw points at my "i should've bought a thinkpad" post06:22
Amaranthman i'd kill for an X30006:22
AtomicSparkDanaG: get one of those toughbooks! acid resistant! sand blast!06:22
ChorcaI'm on a PII-366 Thinkpad 600E06:22
Chorcahinges are still rock-solid, everything works06:22
AmaranthRAOF: So I'm guessing using qemu://session instead of qemu://system is going to make I/O much slower06:23
AtomicSparkhttp://www.panasonic.com/business/toughbook/products.asp06:24
RAOFWell, neither works for me :)06:24
AtomicSparklook how freaky sexy that is. you know you want one.06:24
AtomicSparkespecially the fully rugged ones.06:24
AmaranthI do like virt-viewer's sane approach to mouse/keyboard handling06:24
Amaranthso much nicer than vmware's "lock you into the screen" crap06:25
RAOF"If you've got focus, you've got keyboard focus.  You can get the mouse loked to the screen if you really want"06:25
Amaranthright, vmware is always lock to get any kind of focus until you install their special drivers06:26
Amaranthand even then it doesn't work right half the time06:26
RAOFEep.06:26
jianfeihi, upgraded to 2.6.24-10 nvidia go 7600 only displays res of 800*600 any idea how to fix?06:29

jianfeiamaranth: so no fix for 24-10?06:30
RAOFjianfei: Well, actually usi 2.6.24-8, because 2.6.24-9 wasn't released.06:30
AtomicSparkjianfei: did you install your own kernel?06:31
Amaranthjianfei: The fix is to wait until all the parts are ready before using a new kernel06:31

DanaGvim and emacs come down to personal preference; hard-wrapping is just BROKEN.06:38

makavelianyone have any idea when new envy is suppose to be released?07:57
savvasdencrypt: did you install flushplugin-nonfree ?07:57
scizzo-makaveli: probably once hardy hits stable07:57
savvas*flash07:57
makaveliare u sure?07:58
savvasmakaveli: why do you need envy?07:58
scizzo-makaveli: no07:58
scizzo-makaveli: since envy is a "backport" like project07:58
makavelii ask cause on the site he jus announced the old version is no longer good, and that hes going to release a new one for hardy07:58
scizzo-makaveli: well a third party project07:58
makaveliwhat do u suggest i use ?07:59
makavelicause right now i have nothin installed07:59
makaveliother than default07:59
dencryptsavvas: yes07:59
savvasmakaveli: system -> administration -> hardware drivers07:59
scizzo-makaveli: depends on what card you have?07:59
makaveliand my temps are going crazy whenever i watch a small video clip07:59
makaveligeforce 8600m gs07:59
savvasdencrypt: and everything worked ok?07:59
dencryptsavvas: it's not perfect.07:59
savvasdencrypt: so you had to do nspluginwrapper -i by yourself right/08:00
dencryptbut it works mostly08:00
dencryptno08:00
savvas:\08:00
makaveliunder hardware drivers theres nothing there08:00

makavelinot sure if i shoudl have those installed too08:02
scizzo-makaveli: not needed really08:02
makavelikernel i have right now is 2..24-10 generic08:02
makaveliit was -8 this morning08:02
makaveliafter an update08:02
makaveliit changed to -10.....08:02
scizzo-ummmm08:02
scizzo-2..?????08:03
makavelijust weird cause im getting all these high temps, i cant enable desktop effects, and eveyrthing seems to be runnign slower08:03
scizzo-you do realize that the number between 2.<here>.<here> is really really important08:03
dencryptsavvas: Have you tried to install the older flashplugin?08:03
dencryptr4508:03
savvasdencrypt: for gutsy? nope08:03
savvasbut it worked in gutsy08:03
scizzo-makaveli: well is it just with videos or with rendering and so on?08:04
makavelihavne't tried rendering08:04
makavelibut when i minimize it lags08:04
dencryptsavvas: it's supposed to be more stable. Maybe it would be for hardy too?08:04
makavelibut i cant even activate desktop effects08:04
scizzo-makaveli: using amd64 machine?08:05
makaveli3208:05
makavelicore 2 duo processor, but installed 32bit08:05
scizzo-makaveli: are you sure about the rendering and so on is enabled?08:06
makavelihow do i check?08:06
makaveliits frustrating because i have it running at 800mhz, if i try and turn it to 2 ghz, temp jumps 10-15 degrees08:08
scizzo-makaveli: glxinfo | grep render08:09
scizzo-or something simular08:09
scizzo-makaveli: well you can error search if you can find out what is causing the problem.08:10
scizzo-makaveli: and that may take a while08:10
makaveliXlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".08:10
makaveliError: couldn't find RGB GLX visual08:10
makavelii assume thats not normal?08:11
scizzo-nope08:14
scizzo-makaveli: that one indicates that you are not running nvidia drivers with glx08:14
makaveliprobably the problem then08:14
scizzo-makaveli: and that also tells us that you are not using any rendering extension that is from the nvidia drivers08:15
makavelisounds good08:15
makaveliso what needs to be done?08:15
makavelifirst thing i assume would be the nvidia drivers?08:15
savvasdencrypt: did you do a clean install of hardy or upgraded from gutsy?08:16
scizzo-makaveli: without the nvidia drivers you wont have _much_ luck with the effects and accel for the graphics card08:16
scizzo-makaveli: yes08:16
makaveliok, but it says they're installed08:16
makavelido i have to enable them or something?08:17

braunerHi08:23
brauneri just upgraded from gutsy to hardy08:23
braunerand i noticed something really strange :08:23
savvas..and you have a lot of problems08:23
savvas:p08:23
braunerevery time i run a graphical program (say gvim or evolution), it crawls (strace shows stat64 calls) _every_ directory accessible from my home before actually starting08:23
braunersavvas: appart from that it is ok :)08:23
savvasman, i have to open a psychic centre :)08:23
savvasjust kidding :)08:24
braunersavvas: i don't mean to complaint, but rather to report this strange behaviour08:24
savvasI know i know, sorry, didn't mean to interfere08:25
braunerno problem :)08:25
braunerit also happens with kde programs, so this doesn't seem to be a gnome related thing08:26
brauneras a result, it takes at least 10 sec befor starting some program08:26
savvasdencrypt: i found the problem, leftovers in my /home dir :P08:27
dencryptsavvas: :)08:27
makavelik back08:27
makavelirunning in low graphics mode08:27

makavelisavvas, u here?08:28
scizzo-brauner: and the same effect happens with a new user?08:28
braunerscizzo-: checking08:29
makavelisavvas?08:30
savvasmakaveli: yeah08:32
braunerscizzo-: that's strange, from my session i created a dummy user, then did "su dummy" and launched gvim08:33
savvaslow graphics mode?08:33
makaveliyea08:33
makaveliis that suppose to happen? lol08:33
braunerit still crawls my directory's files (not the ones of the dummy user)08:33
savvasmakaveli: go to system -> administration -> screens and graphics08:33
scizzo-brauner: ummmmmm you are kidding me right?08:33
braunerscizzo-: no, not at all08:33
makavelik there08:33
savvasmakaveli: can you use it to set up your resolution ?08:34
scizzo-brauner: you do realize that I ment create a new user and log in with that one user to a new desktop session08:34
scizzo-brauner: and then try to start programs08:34
makavelino08:34
savvasmakaveli: ok hit cancel08:34

P2502it will be nice to have ubuntu vs kubuntu comparison table which will describe software shipped in both, like [IM/IRC client] Ubuntu - Pidgin | Kubuntu - Konversation10:47
P2502i wonder what features exactly missed in kubuntu vs ubuntu or ubuntu vs kubuntu10:57
naught101is samba-client installed by default in hardy?11:00
naught101P2502: konversation doesn't do IM11:00

naught101Mohero|Work: odd, maybe I installed it11:04
Mohero|Workjianfai: look up Screenlets you'll find some nice stuff wit hthat and a side-bar for it at www.gnome-look.org11:05
naught101but samba worked out of the box. very nice11:05

Mohero|Worknaught101: really.... interesting.... my machine thinks it isn't installed by default.11:05
naught101Mohero|Work: no, I know, perhaps I installed it, but I didn't have to do any config to get it to work with the x-box media centre that's on this network11:06
Mohero|Workjianfei, as flipstar said too gkrellm that's very good, depends what you're looking for screenlets will give you a "vista-ish" side bar (yuk)11:06
Mohero|Worknaught101: I don't think i've ever done any configuring of Samba on Ubuntu since 5.10 :D11:07

P2502Mohero|Work: like netbios over tcp/ip?11:19
Mohero|WorkP2502: it's not the crashes that bother me, it's beta software, that happens, it's more to do with the bar at the bottom of the screen you can't modify outside of the "Theme" and the whole thing looks a little "vista-ish" to me....11:20
nanonymeMohero|Work, opening ports to teh interweb is dangerous, period :p11:20

Milos_SDif it is, then we are ****14:10
TheInfinitybecause Xorg does only start in safe mode choosen while booting14:10

bazhangwhat card?14:49
s0u][ighthello a restart helped :D14:54
jimmy__hey guys, the last system update wrecked my xorg.conf14:54
jimmy__its empty now, and my mouse doesnt work14:54
jimmy__i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it wont "overwrite custom xorg.conf"14:55
chrismurfHow bad is the server version of Hardy at the moment?  Want to move a few robots to ubuntu, and Hardy makes sense from an LTS perspective, but the timeline is a bit shorter than the release date.14:55
jimmy__im using a thinkpad t61 with an onboard nvidia graphics14:55
P2502jimmy__: its "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"14:58
jimmy__yeah ive tried that14:58
jimmy__hold on ill paste the error14:58
jimmy__xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration14:59
jimmy__   file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.2008022709585214:59
jimmy__but nothing happens, my xorg.conf is empty14:59
jimmy__ill pastebin in14:59
chrismurfis anybody here using server hardy?  Or just desktop?14:59
P2502 jimmy__:  you may restore manually from backup or delete file and run command again15:00
P2502but i'm not sure if xorg.conf even required anymore15:00
P2502i'll better look into Xorg.0.log15:00
h3sp4wnchrismurf: You mean the server kernel ?15:00
jimmy__http://www.pastebin.ca/92062315:01
chrismurfh3sp4wn, the basic server install, ie without Xorg and such.  The major 'caveats' for install are all desktop related things, I'm looking at a server install15:01
jimmy__i cant find Xorg.0.log15:01
chrismurfwondering how stable the core is15:01
chrismurfis it ALPHA alpha, or just alpha ;-)15:01
P2502jimmy__: this is NOT empty, and this is actually normal xorg.conf15:02
P2502/var/log/Xorg.0.log15:02
h3sp4wnchrismurf: Its not alpha15:02
jimmy__but it doesnt show my touchpad, my video adapter, screen, anything15:02
h3sp4wnOther than gnome15:02
chrismurfso - fairly usable under the covers?15:02
P2502jimmy__: format of xorg.conf has changed15:02
h3sp4wnchrismurf: Its not like *bsd current is15:02
chrismurfh3sp4wn, what do you mean by that?15:03
h3sp4wnOr fedora rawhide15:03
jimmy__http://www.pastebin.ca/92062615:03
h3sp4wnchrismurf: Its not full of loads of unstable versions of software15:03
chrismurfgreat - thanks.  I guess I'll check it out then15:03
Amaranthand by changed you mean it now autodetects everything that isn't explicitly set in xorg.conf15:03
h3sp4wnI dunno why anyone would use Linux for a server though15:04
chrismurfh3sp4wn,  question is just whether to move a couple of robots to gutsy, or hardy.15:04
h3sp4wnMine uses Solaris dom0 and Linux DomU's15:04
h3sp4wnchrismurf: Why not a RTOS15:04
chrismurfh3sp4wn, "server" just means it doesn't install a bunch of useless crud15:04
chrismurfh3sp4wn, because RTOS's and proprietary OS's make development a pain in the butt15:05
h3sp4wnchrismurf: ecos is GPL15:05
chrismurfh3sp4wn, don't know it, but we don't require RTOS performance15:05
chrismurfh3sp4wn, we have seperate motor controllers and such, it's just the high level control logic that runs on the PC15:05
h3sp4wnSo its full pc15:06
h3sp4wni was thinking something else15:06
chrismurfh3sp4wn, PC104 stack with ~400Mhz x86 proc.15:06
chrismurfthese are big robots: http://blogs.spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/2008/02/06/whois_robotic_excursion_under.html15:06
h3sp4wnI think I would still use uclibc (buildroot 2 is pretty nice)15:06
P2502jimmy__: so you have only problem with mouse?15:07
h3sp4wnstill too much crud in a "server" install for me15:07
jimmy__and graphics, its not letting me use compiz and doesnt "feel accelerated" its very choppy15:07
h3sp4wnchrismurf: article is pretty interesting15:08
P2502 jimmy__: this is because you required to reinstall nvidia driver15:09
P2502check update servers15:09
jimmy__tried :\15:09
jimmy__ill try manually to search for nvidia in synaptic & install it15:10
jimmy__nvidia-glx-new is already installed15:10
P2502from your log file it seems your have parts of old nvidia driver left like glx lib but useing nv ftiver15:10
P2502delete and install again, tried?15:10
chrismurfh3sp4wn, thanks15:10
jimmy__no not yet ill try now15:10
jimmy__ouff now screens & graphics is empty15:12
jimmy__ill restart x15:12
ViakenA broken linux-image package a known thing, or am I having a weird problem?15:13
jimmy__nah no luck15:15
P2502 jimmy__: are you used applet or synaptic?15:16
jimmy__synaptic15:16
P2502it may not make required changes15:16
P25021st was released new kernel, this is what broke your graphics, later was released new restricted-modules and nvidia driver package thru update15:18
jimmy__yeah i downloaded that this morning15:18
jimmy__i couldnt get restricted modules yesterday the package was missing from my repository15:18
jimmy__and now you cant manually select a repository anymore in synaptic so i got all confused15:19
P2502sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list15:19
P2502and Xorg.0.log show no problems with mouse or touchpad, i dont know why its not work15:21
P2502it says they are initialized correctly15:22
jimmy__now that i logged out and back in my mouse is working fine15:22
jimmy__before every click was a double click15:22
jimmy__so i couldnt navigate menus, luckilly the touchpad still worked15:23
P2502press and hold mouse button15:23
jimmy__i just unplugged it :)15:23

wobboWhen copy pasting, there are some new options right? When copying a folder to a location where the folder name is the same, i get "cancel, merge, merge all, skip, skip all" what about overwrite?16:05
makaveliso i was here on last night tryin to fix this low graphics mode16:06
makavelibut still cnt get out of it16:06
makavelialways rebootin in low graphics mode16:07
makavelithis is frustrating, spent hours here trying to fix it and still cant16:10
TheInfinitymakaveli: i dont get anything right in live cd, i just get safe graphics mode to run, bulletproof xorg does not start at all ;)16:11
wobbomaybe not 'overwrite' but 'replace' is the missing option16:11
makavelilol yea16:11
P2502TheInfinity: interesting, you log show you are using vesa driver16:11
makaveliproblem is i had everything working, but then after an update, screen res dropped16:11
P2502TheInfinity: what is your problem anyway?16:12
makavelinow i'm stuck in low graphics mode, and i cant get out. still waiting for hardy envy support16:12
TheInfinitythe funny thing is - booting in safe graphics mode works16:12
TheInfinitywithout safe graphics mode xorg does not start16:12
TheInfinitybut the configuration test works16:12
TheInfinityi just write a bug report ... ?16:13
P2502this is log from failsaif session but required is log from failed xorg startup16:13
P2502filesafe16:13
TheInfinityP2502: how can i get this log?16:14
TheInfinityand - also the failsafe mode didnt work16:14
P2502(21:12:09) TheInfinity: the funny thing is - booting in safe graphics mode works16:14
TheInfinityP2502: and this is the log of usual boot16:15
makaveliwondering if i should jus give upa nd format16:15
jpQuestion for anyone: on a fresh install of hardy, failsafe gnome logs in fine, but with a normal gnome login, after loading the background and playing the sound, X dies (as evident in daemon.log only) and kicks me back to gdm.16:15
TheInfinityi think xorg enteres in vesa mode after getting problems with nv driver16:15
TheInfinityand this is the log of it16:15
makaveliya infinity16:15
makavelii'm on vesa mode too16:15
TheInfinityi think it would be good to have the safe mode log, too16:16
TheInfinityso that devs can understand why in one case it works and in the other not16:16
TheInfinityand why at all i dont get nv drivers to work16:16
makavelisame boat infinity16:17
makaveli:(16:17
makaveliwhat res are you at right now?16:17

TheInfinity1440x900 because i'm in OS-X ;)16:18
makaveliahhh16:18

flipstaris there an alternative for vnstat? doesnt work proper with cron..16:19
Exilantin my xorg log it seems to start going wrong with errors like "drmOpenDevice: Open failed", but with the recent update it at least doesn't whiteout. Anyone has fglrx working, so maybe i just messed up my xorg.conf?16:28
TheInfinityokay ...16:44
TheInfinitynow i have every log ;916:45
P2502TheInfinity: required is from failed session16:46
TheInfinityi have 2 failed session at all16:46
TheInfinitythe usual startup and the failsafe after usual16:46
Arwenanyone here using fglrx?16:46
TheInfinitythe only option which works is choosing failsafe already before launching the kernel16:47
P2502there are 2 meanings of failsafe, failsafe kernel and failsafe gnome16:47
P2502we talk about xorg, so it is failsafe gnome16:47
P2502mmm16:47
TheInfinityfailsafe kernel mode works16:47
TheInfinityfailsafe gnome mode both dont16:47
TheInfinityhttp://files.ernestoruge.de/misc/bugs/normal/16:48
ExilantArwen: me16:48
Exilantbut it's not working for me right now16:48
TheInfinitythese are gnome versions. old is with nvidia, before is while the error message occured, after is after i clicked continue and everything wents black16:49

P2502omg17:15
muszekP2502: file-roller also takes forever... it takes several minutes to extract 700MB file.  It's a decent machine (dell 1720 with 2Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2 GB of RAM... disk is 5500RPM, though).17:16
heret1cP2502: low transfer rates why?17:16

muszekflipstar: it's strange... I have firefox-themes-ubuntu installed, but tools->addons->themes only shows me default theme and NASA one (I installed it manually, fonts still look the same).17:17
Exilantthx flipstar17:17
heret1cP2502: restricted-modules?17:18
muszekP2502: it's not a gnome thing... as I said, I had those low transfer rates while using mc17:18
P2502muszek: Timing buffered disk reads:  226 MB in  3.01 seconds =  75.17 MB/sec17:19
P2502my transfer rates are ok17:19

muszekI've just tried again. it's going @ ~12MB/s now.  Those earlier results were pre apt-get upgrade (over 100 packages, incl. kernel)17:21
muszekinteresting thing: the transfer slows down... 7MB/s now.  Rhythmbox stopped playing (for a few seconds) twice during this 700MB copy.17:22
flipstar Timing buffered disk reads:  248 MB in  3.04 seconds =  81.69 MB/sec ¦>17:23

Yahooada1i was just praying they would work in 8.04 :(19:46
=== Yahooada1 is now known as Yahooadam
flipstarmaybe you have to help them a little19:47
h3sp4wnperhaps have a go with oss (make sure you symlink /usr/src/linux to the kernel headers19:47
h3sp4wnIts nice that with oss you can easily choose what you want each input / output to be19:48
h3sp4wn(and at least with dmix it sounded better with pulseaudio shouldn't be an issue)19:48
Yahooadamwell i sort of have them working in 7.119:49
Yahooadambut the 8187B driver is a total hack and really unpleasent19:49
P2502Yahooadam: what controller and codec you have?19:52
strabeshow do i revert a package back to a previous version? the version of gnome-power-manager in hardy is seems to be having some troubles19:52
P2502with sound19:52
macogwstrabes: dpkg -i --force-downgrade oldpackage.deb19:52

P2502Realtek ALC268 - this is your codec19:55

Yahooadami seem to have some obscure codec or something methinks, in hardy i get the volume control (like 7.1) but i dont actually get any sound20:02
ArthurArchnixAnyone seen a how-to for creating a Heron USB boot disk? I don't have the cdroms to spare, but I've got myself a brand spanking new test partition to do some laptop testing on the alphas and betas now.20:02
MoheroP2502: that sound bug on Toshiba's was a pain. that bug, along with a bug in the Toshiba BIOS that meant we could only see 3GB of the 4GB in the laptop.20:03

P2502Mohero: most mobos have problems with 4 gb20:04
nemoMohero: you mean, same as vista? :) (3g of 4)20:04
MoheroP2502: then I'll feel smug "mine doesn't" ;)20:05
nemoneither does mine20:05
flipstaronly _very_ old mb's20:05
P2502no, new ones too20:05
flipstarmost bioses can handle it20:05
Yahooadamall mobos do (or should)20:05
P2502yeah but you only see 3gb20:06
P2502or 3.2520:06
Yahooadam4gb is a limit of 32bit addressing, but lots is taken up by PCI address space, and video cards eat another chunk20:06
P2502yeah20:06
MoheroP2502: the BIOS update from Toshiba supports 4GB, we've only argued with them for a year about it, they said it must be a problem with Linux - we told them that the BIOS couldn't see the 4GB they said they can't help because we don't have windows on the system - some advice - never deal with Toshiba20:06
nemoMohero: probably they never ran into the bug 'cause their windows machines couldn't address more than 3¼ anyway :-/20:06
MoheroP2502: 64bit can map more than 3.25 - but 32bit processors tend to have that problem20:06
nemoMohero: so they'll never believe you20:07
Moheronemo: true! ;)20:07
Moherofixed now anyway :D20:07
nemoneat20:07
flipstartheres a hack to get 36bit but thats another story ..20:07
Moheroso the laptop is NOW 100% compatible :)20:07
Waterstoffwoah20:07
Waterstoff36bit?20:07
Waterstoffthats definatly a hack20:07
nemoflipstar: are you referring to PAE?20:07
WaterstoffOo20:07
flipstari dont know.maybe20:07
Yahooadamsounds like PAE to me :p20:07
nemoflipstar: or the hack to get PAE in Windows XP ?20:07
nemoflipstar: PAE in linux is old news20:07
P2502with pae 32-bit processor able to use 16 gb ram20:07
Yahooadamalthough i thought PAE allowed more memory then that20:08
Moheronice20:08
nemoP2502: even 64GiB20:08
nemois one reason you should use linux for running Oracle databases20:08
Yahooadams/is one reason/is another reason ontop of the billions of others :p20:08
nemo(well, that and it just runs better - and yes, you should use 64 bit processors, but oracle's 64 bit support sucked until recently)20:08
Moherowell, I'm currently running 4GB - just built a machine for someone - that has 8GB - *ba***rd* think I need an upgrade now.... ;)20:08
Yahooadami was tempted by 8gb for my new machine20:09
Yahooadambut i barely use the 4gb in it, so probably best without :p20:09
Moheronemo: was talking about Vista & Oricle today - we came to the conclusion that Vista only looks good under the same circumstances as Oracle - that is on a slide projector :)20:10
nemoheh20:10
MoheroYahooadam: I think i've only used the 4GB once, and that was because of a bug in my code ;)20:10
Yahooadamooo20:10
ArthurArchnixOh, I read that stuff about the usb install. But I forgot that I've got a 128MB spare boot partition. Does hardy have any network install disks yet? Because I could probably extract the files, copy them to the boot partition, then add the info to grub and boot up the hardy net install.... does such a thing exist?20:10
nemowell, Oracle makes a decent database. it is their appliaction server, oracle forms, oracle reports, oracle we-bought-you-and-now-we-don't-know-what-to-do-with-you  that are crap20:11
Yahooadami only use 4gb when XP does its new interesting bug - that is, copying files between HDD goes through ram - :s20:11
P2502not long ago i was an owner of nforce 4 sli mobo and i useing 3 gb of ram, and if i install tv-tuner BIOS report only 2.75 gb of ram, so it was not even 32-bit cpu issue20:11
nemoMohero: oh. and their enterprise architecture for databases. also annoying.20:11
flipstarArthurArchnix: you could install via debootstrap..............20:11
Moheronemo: yep, agree'd we've been writing ODBC drivers for APL for various databases... which has been a pain...20:12
Moheros/for APL/in APL/20:12
MoheroP2502: that sounds.... strange..... what manufacturer board?20:13
Yahooadamhmm,3stack-6ch and laptop-eapd both work (i use the term lightly) for me20:13
Moherohehe20:14
Moherowork should always be used "lightly" ;)20:14
ArthurArchnixflipstar: Reading over that now.. a bit too much trouble me thinks. For me at least. I'll work on that bootable usb instead.20:14
Yahooadamyou could also network boot :p20:14
P2502Mohero: it was ASUS20:15
P2502A8N-SLI Premium20:15
ArthurArchnixI know there are net installs for Gutsy and previous... but I wasn't aware a netinstall disc for hardy alpha had been released.20:15
ArthurArchnixhmm... what if I started a netinstall of gutsy, but then changes the apt-sources to point at the hardy repos....20:16
bardyrdoes anybody know how i can get my screen brightness to work, so i cant change the brightness? even a software emulation hack is okay20:16
YahooadamArthurArchnix - why not just install gutsy then upgrade to hardy?20:16
Yahooadamyour way sounds like it will fail in rather horrific ways20:17
MoheroP2502: I had one of those..... actually I had 4 of them... bought 1 didn't work, sent it back under warranty, got another one, it broke after about 3 months, sent it back decided I wanted machine to actually use, ordered the wrong board - yep it was the same, and then the new one, and the warranty replacement both broke.... so I build a whole new system - BIOS crapped out everytime.20:17
Oli``bleurgh... is anybody else having issues with libxklavier12_3.4-2_i386.deb ?20:17
flipstartheres a boot.iso on some ftps in hardy dirs ..20:17
ArthurArchnixBah... this is all silly. I'm just gonna install gutsy to my spare partition... create a restore image of it so that it's easy to do for apha5,6 beta1,2 and distupgrade.... yeah... I agree Yahooadam20:17
MoheroP2502: all other hardware is fine - and running in an MSI board as my Media system now...20:17
Yahooadamim running a P5K-Deluxe, and it drives me mad, the whole "JMicron" controller thing is terrible20:18
P2502i running P5B now20:18
Moheroone thing I've learnt is Asus are pretty good at harware, but the BIOS.... they're really rubbish at.20:19
Moherothey're boards are really really good...............as long as they work.20:19
Yahooadami have 2 CD drives, 1 HDD and an eSATA drive on the JMicron controller, and they all often fail20:19
Yahooadamlike, if i plug in the eSATA drive the other 3 dissapear, or if i boot with it plugged in sometimes the HDD doesnt appear20:20

Milos_SDcan I do that somehow?20:29
Milos_SD:D20:29
smeuuhwell, it would involve dlding the .deb, uncompressing it, changing some things in the control file, compressing it again and then installing it, it must be feasible, but i would not risk it, i'm waiting for competent people to fix it20:30

rambo3just get the source , do apt-get build-dep wine , and fallow wine instructions22:11
rambo3that are in wine cource22:11
Raspberryyup I've done an apt-get source wine and apt-get build-dep wine22:12
RaspberryI suppose I have to download the source directly from winehq because the wine source package would be flawed?22:13
rambo3are manuals your kryptonite?22:13
RaspberryI don't want to break the packages so that I can't upgrade22:14
wobbojust after x starts: http://www.documentjes.nl/uploads/MOV00478.MP422:14
Raspberrybecause the README in the wine-0.9.55 tells me to run tools/wineinstall and that to me would just install that app into the system, but not in package format22:16
Milos_SDRaspberry, do you want to make .deb package for wine from source?22:16
Raspberryi found my answer here, I believe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=440266722:16
RaspberryMilos_SD:  I want to try rebuilding the package from the deb package source first -- if that doesn't work, then I'll have to install it from the actual wine source22:17
joumetalActually dri works by default in hardy :) I made mistake.22:17
smeuuhokay, since the last update, every time i close/open the screen on my laptop, i hear an annoying sound. How can i make it disappear ?22:18
Milos_SDif you want to do that, here are the steps you have to do: ./configure  makedepend && make (I think  that it is like this, but it will say what next after ./configure)22:18
Milos_SDand then sudo checkinstall22:18
RaspberryMilos_SD: but I need to download the 0.9.56 source from winehq first, correct?   I can't do this against the deb package source22:19
Milos_SDyes, you need to download source from winehq22:19
Milos_SD:)22:19
Raspberrythanks :D22:19
Milos_SDsudo checkinstall will make .deb file for you and install it22:19
RaspberryI appreciate answering my simpleton questions22:19
Milos_SDI installed wine with 3DMark patch like that22:20
Raspberryi don't build packages enough to do this22:20
Milos_SD:)22:20

macogwoh wait...maybe flash is still in my .mozilla22:21
smeuuhhp, i don't think thatt matters22:22
Raspberryhmm it says no OpenGL library found on this system22:24
Raspberryand libgl1-mesa-dev is up to date22:28
dencryptI had problems with openGL earlier today.22:29
Raspberryi've found a couple links that point to this... yes this references fedora... but it's the same exact error message... http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=962468&postcount=822:31
prasannahey guys, anyone have an alternative to AWN?22:35
RAOFRaspberry: You can just get a gutsy wine .deb from winehq.org.22:36
Amaranthprasanna: if you're looking for more bling and more crashes check out kiba22:36
prasannalol problem with AWN is that it has icons of apps i'm running22:36
prasannaim looking for more of a traditional style22:36
prasannawhere it serves just as an application launcher22:36
Amarantherr, that is the 'traditional' style22:36
Amaranthwhat you want is the cheap knockoffs22:36
prasannaheres the problem with AWN22:37
prasannai open a firefox browser22:37
prasannaand the firefox icon appears the bar22:37
prasannai want it the other way around22:37
RaspberryRAOF: that's still 0.9.55 which segfaults... 0.9.56 isn't available on winehq yet22:37
Amaranthprasanna: if you have the firefox icon down there already it'll just put an arrow under it22:37
Amaranthprasanna: it works just like the OS X dock22:37
prasannahow do i get that icon down there? cause it seems to only appear when i open it manually22:38
Amaranthwhich is what all of the docks are trying to copy, the plain app launchers just get lazy and never finish22:38
Amaranthprasanna: right click on an empty spot on the dock22:38
prasannak22:39
wobbocan nobody tell me howto start in safe graphics mode with the new alpha 5 live cd's?22:39

Milos_SDHere it says that fix is released, but I can't see that package in synaptic. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxklavier/+bug/19622323:13

crimsun_hmm23:13
Milos_SDDo you have that package in synaptic? :S23:13
Milos_SDAs I can see, it is not released yet ... http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libxklavier1223:14
crimsun_Milos_SD: it hasn't built yet.  The source was only uploaded 10 minutes ago.23:14

crimsun_no, pbuild or sbuild it23:47
Arwenwho maintains VLC? you broke the compile....23:47
crimsun_you already have the debianised source package at that point - no point in mucking things up further23:47
