DanaGWow, some things behave VERY badly when the PulseAudio server dies.01:33
DanaGFor example, Decibel Audio Player will start eating 100% of both cores of my CPU, as well as eating memory at a moderate (i.e. gives you a chance to kill it if you notice it quickly enough) pace.01:34
DanaGIf I had let it go on unchecked, it probably would've eaten ALL of my memory.01:34

jimmygoonare there nightly builds?03:11
Kanoi modified the isolinux.cfg and can boot it via pxe too, just want to know if there is one official one03:11
Kanoalso how about adding a pxelinux.cfg dir on the iso + the very small pxelinux.0?03:14
macogwjimmygoon: yes there are nightly builds03:15
Kanothen you could just export the cd and setup the tftp to that dir too03:15
macogwsomewhere03:15
Kanoand you are done03:15
jimmygoonmacogw, I found it.. they are "daily" builds03:15

Kanonobody using pxe boot?03:17
Kano1 gbit network boot is way faster than booting from a cd...03:19
jimmygoonKano, do you do a pxe boot from the network?03:20
jimmygoonwow, that was a stupid question03:21
jimmygoonthats not what I meant03:21
Kanowell of course i do03:21
jimmygoonI meant do you do the boot from the iso or extract stuff from the iso to prep for the net boot?03:21
Kanowell you need the casper dir03:21
Kanothen you take pxelinux.0 from the syslinux package03:23
Kanoand write a little pxelinux.cfg/default03:23
Kanoyou can export it using nfs or smb03:23
CarlFKKano: i do pxe - love it. and you are right03:24
Kanowhat do you think about the idea to put the needed files directly in the iso?03:24
CarlFKthey were there a long time ago03:25
CarlFKare you sure they arent now?03:25
CarlFKwhat I do now is wget the installer kernel and initrd.gz, then use apt-cacher as my repo03:26

Kanoi fixed the kanotix terminal server and now i test the same with ubuntu03:27
CarlFKim about to run out, but would love to see your config - mind posting it?03:27
Kanoyou copy isolinux.cfg to pxelinux.cfg/default03:28
Kanothen you add just 2 options03:28
Kanonetboot=nfs nfsroot=ip:/path03:28
Kanoin the dir should be the casper subdir03:29
Kanowell you get an error when you do that, therefore i asked if there is an "official" dir03:29
Kanobut it boots03:29
Kanoguess what you only need to do when the files are on the iso, then you dont have to extract it...03:30
Kanoalt least you could override the nfsroot settings03:30
CarlFKI cut/pasted that into my pxelinux.cfg/default - I'll se about geting ti working when I come back03:30
Kanoi am sure it directly boots03:31
Kanocasper and do the same as live-initramfs which i tested first03:31

RAOFgrub2 *doesn't* kill booting for me, which I was somewhat surprised about.05:37

hwildeif I run icewm it's fine05:38

Amaranthoh, then you're not using any compositing05:38
Amaranthso compositing is broken, awesome05:38
hwildebut in default xsession with metacity, if I grab a window and drag it around real fast, I can see the cpu spike and hten it locks up05:38

RAOFMmm, seriously fast 2d.  But not for you.05:40
RAOFWell, not yet.05:41
AmaranthRAOF: I'm hoping by the end of the year I can tell people "only install the nvidia driver if you need power saving"05:42
Amaranthand 3 months later i can just stop telling them to install it05:42
RAOFAmaranth: This seems unlikely, at least in general.  *I*'m certainly hoping to not tougch the blob by the end of the year, but I suspect cards outside the nv4x sweetspot might not be so lucky.05:43
RAOFMaybe I'm wrong, and if so, that'd be awesome.05:43
AmaranthRAOF: Well it sounds like a 3D driver for NV3x doesn't sound so hard05:44
AmaranthRAOF: older than that and I honestly stop caring so much05:44
AmaranthJust need that NV5x05:44
RAOFYeah, certainly.  And nv5x sounds hard, especially since 2d isn't particularly stable at this point for those guys.05:45
AmaranthThat isn't much different from the blob though05:45
RAOFOh, really?  Surely the blob supports nv50 reasonably well?05:45
AmaranthThe sweet spot for people using the blob is something old enough to have gotten lots of driver work but new enough to not get marked obsolete in 3 months05:45
AmaranthThat means NV4x05:45

DanaGI just want it to be not-significantly-worse than NVIDIA.  I don't actually care if the performance is amazing, but I do want it to not do that damn BLINKING (... though I actually haven't had that issue in a while).05:50
RAOFDanaG: Whereas it's re-appeared for me with a vengeance today.  Complete with no-screen-updates between blinks.05:51
DanaGI just want to be sure I won't regret it if I get ATI.05:51
DanaGAnd by "regret it", I mean, for at least a year and a half.05:52
AmaranthDanaG: If you're getting a laptop the answer is obviously X310005:52
DanaGLet me rephrase that: I don't want to find myself hating it every second I use it.  If I got IGP, I definitely would hate it -- can't do HL2 at nice resolutions.05:52
AmaranthIt's not a bad performer now and apparently the gallium driver for it makes the current driver look really slow05:53
DanaGI don't want anything weaker than my Go 7600.05:53
RAOFHaving the specs suggest that the support will generally get better over time for the ATI card.05:53

AmaranthRight, so if you can get a laptop with an rs670 you're set05:53
hwildeI can play full screen games for hours so I do not think it is the card or the driver05:53
AmaranthBecause that's the mobile chip that combines r600 2d with r500 3d or some such thing05:53
DanaGHP 8510p is the one I'm thinking of.05:53
DanaGHD2600, currently.05:54
Amarantheither way they know how to drive it, 2d and 3d05:54
AmaranthDanaG: right, with an HD2600 you'll get probably zero power management and mostly non-accelerated 2d05:54
AmaranthDanaG: in 12-18 months you might get mostly stable 3d05:54
DanaGAre you speaking of the open-source or the closed-source?  It doesn't really matter too much to me.05:55
Amaranthopen source05:55
Amaranthas for closed source, well05:55
DanaGrandom aside: /me wonders what 1920x1200 at 15.4" looks like.05:55
Amaranththey're doing alright now but they don't have a good track record05:55
Amaranth......05:55
Amaranthit looks like that, those were whole words05:55
Amaranthzoom in, you'll see it05:56
DanaGMy current LCD is 1440x900 at 17", for 100DPI.05:56
RAOFMine is 1650x1040 at 15.4", for 130DPI.05:57
Amaranthi've got 1440x900 with 17"05:57
RAOFI haven't actually seen how windows handles that DPI, but Gnome likes it.05:57
AmaranthDanaG: you said you had an HP laptop with a 17" screen and a Go 7600?05:57
DanaGNo, current is Gateway M685.05:58
Assidgnome doesnt like it either05:58
Assidthe fonts loook huge05:58
Amaranthah05:58
DanaGAssid: make sure your DPI settings are right.05:58
DanaGM685 is also known as NX860 series.05:58
Assidincreasing the dpi ends up with more fonts05:58
AmaranthActually if your DPI is set right the fonts should look huge05:58
Assiderr.. bigger fonts05:58
DanaGhttp://members.ping.de/~sven/dpi.html05:58
Amaranththe problem is fonts are resolution independent, everything else isn't05:58
DanaGThat could be a factoid for !dpi05:58
DanaGWith the note to check that Xorg gets it right.05:59
Amaranthi forget how to show what X thinks my DPI is05:59
Assidalso after the laste few updates05:59
DanaGdmesg | grep -i dpi05:59
DanaGer06:00
Amarantherr, no06:00
DanaGgrep -i dpi /var/log/Xorg.0.log06:00
Assidmy fonts are darker in alot of places.. and much thinner in the others06:00
Amaranth(--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (88, 91); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config06:00
Amaranthfail06:00
DanaGNow, my dad's plasma TV: 1024x768 stretched to 42 inches widescreen.... that's rectangular pixels.  If it were square, it'd be 30 DPI.06:00
Assidyou know the gdm login ? see the username there.. its  huge06:00
AmaranthAssid: yay intel06:00
Assid(--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (87, 91); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config06:01
DanaGHmm, I like the heavy text at the login screen.  How did it get that way?06:01
RAOFHm.  They fixed nouveau's gallium build on amd64.  Cool.  Now to fight with the build to try for a 32bit version.06:01
AmaranthAssid: oh, nvidia, wow06:01
AssidAmaranth: it just started in the last few days06:01
AmaranthAssid: Ok, either way, this goes away in hardy+106:01
DanaG(--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (98, 99); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config06:01
DanaGYay for good EDID!06:01
AssidAmaranth: what goes away06:01
Assidthe font being dark ?06:01
Amaranthgdm in hardy+1 will use gnome-settings-daemon so it'll set fonts to 92DPI no matter what06:01
Amaranthno, the fonts being huge at login06:01
RAOF(--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (129, 133); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config06:02
RAOF(--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (129, 133); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config06:02
AssidAmaranth: it just started.. it used to be dine upto before06:02
Amaranththe default on your desktop is DPI of 92 too06:02
DanaGIt should use the REAL dpi value, I'd think.06:02
RAOFNow that's going to be annoyingly small :)06:02
DanaGhttp://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9742/README/appendix-d.html -- note the ConstantDPI option!06:02
AmaranthDanaG: the real DPI is hard to calculate06:02
Amaranthas we've just shown06:02
AssidAmaranth: i dont know.. but the fonts are horrible06:02
Amaranthmost hardware gets it wrong06:02
DanaG"By default on X.Org 6.9 or newer X servers, the NVIDIA X driver recomputes the size in millimeters of the X screen whenever the size in pixels of the X screen is changed using XRandR, such that the DPI remains constant."06:03
Amaranthalso, 100 DPI fonts look like crap06:03
* Assid doesnt know what to do06:03
DanaGI use 99 in gnome.06:03
AmaranthAssid: *shrug*06:03
Amaranthwow, the difference between 99 and 100 is huge06:03
Assidit just started  in the last few updates06:03
AmaranthAssid: you've said that 5 times now06:03
DanaGHuge, but hard to quantify.06:04
AmaranthNo, I mean literally huge06:04
AmaranthThe fonts were 1.5x larger at 10006:04
Assidyeah but i dont want to go blind06:04
DanaGWow!  Mine doesn't change that much.06:04
AmaranthSo what does having Xorg know my correct DPI get me?06:04
DanaGI think it'd help with proper font rendering.06:05
Assidthe thin fonts, on the other hand look scratchy06:05
DanaGOh, and that ConstantDPI thing seems screwy to me.06:05
Amaranthalright, i'll tell it i have 99 DPI then06:05
DanaGChanging resolution shouldn't change the physical size of the screen!  That's just weird.06:06
Amaranthoh, you can't set DPI06:06
Amaranthyou have to set mm dimensions06:06
Amaranthi forgot06:06
DanaGGo to font settings and hit "advanced"06:06
AmaranthThis I know06:06
AmaranthThis I did06:06
DanaGaah.06:06
AmaranthDoesn't much help me in gdm06:06
DanaGaah.06:06
Assiddoesnt help me in regular X either06:07
Amaranthhrm, my terminals got huge06:07
Assidhuge?dark!06:07
DanaGPerhaps the font sizes themselves are too big.06:07
Amaranthyeah, i had the rest of my fonts set to 906:07
Amaranthterminal set to 1006:07
Amaranthbecause 9 looked horrible before, it's good now06:07
DanaGYou can set it to 9.5 by typing the number manually, if you want.06:08
Assidhttp://picpaste.com/screenshot1_1.png06:08
Assidsee that06:08
DanaGOh hey, is there a way to override minimum resolution for an external display?06:08
Assidthose fonts are soo damn bold and huge06:08
DanaGMany projectors at our school have Pin 9 missing, so they have no EDID... and thus appear as 800x600 max.06:09
AmaranthAssid: ah, this problem06:09
AmaranthAssid: bad fonts06:09
AssidAmaranth: worked fine all this time ?06:09
Amaranth*shrug*06:09
Assideven terminal was working fine06:09
AmaranthVista fonts randomly work and don't work06:09
Assidterminal became darker too06:09
Assiddont wanna compare to vista.. mainly cause its vista06:10
DanaGI use the DejaVu fonts.  In fact, fonts in Xorg feel much nicer to my eyes than ClearType.06:10
AmaranthDanaG: set the vert and horiz freq and set a modeline06:10
AmaranthAssid: I mean using vista fonts in linux06:10
AmaranthDanaG: also, 9.5 seems to make the fonts taller but not wider06:10
DanaGI hated when they got rid of the Legacy hinter.06:10
Amaranthmight be because i'm using Consolas :)06:10
Assidi dont think im using vista fonts06:11
Amaranthheh, Liberation Mono is the other way around, wider than tall06:11
Assidi use dejavu sans06:11
Assidand its still messed up06:12
Assideven kvirc input text got messed06:12
AmaranthAssid: Try it with a clean xorg.conf and a clean user06:12
DanaGI'm using the Heron-remix wallpaper, with windeco using Tropic with red-button commented out, and Aurora engine with color set to #E48A3406:12

DanaGI changed to the nice bright orange, and my mood changed literally INSTANTLY!06:14
assid2however what i do notice is the OSD for audio increase/decrease from my keyboard.. shows the proper icon06:14
assid2the way it used to..06:14
assid2my other profile for some reason just shows me the audio level bar06:15
DanaGFunny thing: switch from metacity ↔ compiz and hit volume keys.  gnome-settings-daemon crashes06:15
assid2this might be related06:15

Assidanother bug... when switching users..  and you logout of the 2nd user to come back to the first.. you get a white screen . this is apparently a locked screen where you type a password06:16

AmaranthAssid: that's an nvidia bug06:18
Amaranththe white screen06:18
DanaGSOmething to do with Firefox: set it to default to DejaVu and not allow other stuff.06:18

Amaranthnope, looks fine06:32
Assidwhats wrong with you people!?!?!06:32
Amaranthmaybe a little smudged looking but that's because you seem to have no hinting06:33
Amaranthbut i have no hinting either because i like OS X-type fonts06:33
Assidyes.. i want it like osx type fonts06:33
DanaGI liked the Feisty fonts better than anything else, myself.06:33
Assidhow do i get that06:33
AmaranthAssid: That's what you seem to have06:33
Assidno man..06:33
Assidi got hinting on full06:33
Assidand the text fonts on the left for example look horrible06:33
AmaranthAssid: Which would imply your problem is not what the computer thinks it is drawing but what it displays06:33

RAOFoxigen: Because you don't have software-sources-gtk installed?07:10
Amaranthoxigen: you're not using Ubuntu but rather Kubuntu or Xubuntu?07:10
AtomicSparkhow do i get my linux widgets on my desktop?!07:10
oxigenAmaranth: ubuntu07:10
oxigenhmm, software-sources-gtk...07:10
Assidokay what about the "bold" fonts07:10
Amaranthoxigen: then what RAOF said, you apparently uninstalled it07:10
Assidwhy'd they come07:10
RAOFAmaranth: Yeah, from my PPA that's OK.  You need the nouveau drm kernel modules, and linux-nouveau-modules seemed the easiest way to do that.  At some point I'll convert that to some modules-assistant fun to help the guy who wants nouveau in Debian experimental.07:10
AtomicSparkAssid: your min/max/close buttons on the background window look funny07:11

Amaranthok, this is getting really annoying, pulseaudio hates me07:11
AmaranthAssid: but no shadows07:12
Amaranthevery time my CPU does any sudden increase in work (even jumping from 3% to 15% my audio stutters)07:12
RAOFAmaranth: In what way?  Alsa (or, particularly, l-u-m) was hating me for a while.07:12
Assidand thats bad?07:12
Amaranthevery time someone says my name in xchat-gnome and it beeps my audio stutters07:12

Assidfonts not working ? who knows07:30
hwildebut they were working ?07:30
hwildeor they never worked07:30
Assidused to yes07:30
hwildeok then what changed07:30
Assidby working i mean "getting messed up now"07:30
hwildewhat action immediately preceeded the fonts stopping working07:31
Assidupdates07:32
Assidsame time gdm ended with larger fonts07:32
hwildedo you know which updates specifically?07:32
Assidnope..07:33
hwildepeople here will go a long way to help you troubleshoot, but you have to have some basic building blocks...07:33
Assidits around the same time gdm got the big fonts07:33
Assidwhich apparently people notice07:33
AssidDanaG: http://assid.com/volume.avi07:33
Assidthe  bar intead of OSD07:34
DanaGThat's not gnome-settings-daemon, for sure.07:34
hwildesounds like a profile setting...07:34
hwildecan you make a new user and see if you have the same issues07:34
Assidother user doesnt have this problem07:35
Assidthe osd issue i.e.07:35
Assidfonts yes07:35
hwildeok well that pretty much tells you where to look for osd07:35
hwildeits in your profile settings07:35
hwildeprobably .osd or something07:36
Assidso this happens often?07:36
Assidprofile corruption?07:36
hwildeit's not corrupt07:36
hwildeit's... modified by the user in a way that the user does not prefer07:37
hwildeyou know this is beta right... ?07:37
Assidi didnt do it :(07:37
Assidyeah i know07:37
Assidmy main issue is the fonts really07:37
Assidim not going blind for no software07:38
hwildewell you see in the topic where is says "update without checking what is to be updated"07:38
hwildethat is so you can undo stuff when it breaks07:38
hwildeI don't know which update broke your fonts but if you can figure it out just roll it back to the previous version and you'll be fine07:38
Assiderr ive had tons of updates.. nvidia-glx-new .. xorg.. fontconfig..07:39

Assidlike pixel shifting?07:40
hwildein beta software sure there are tons of unexpected behaviors07:40
hwildethat's part of the fun07:40
Assidhehe yeah i know07:41
hwildeif it all just worked we wouldnt need beta testing07:41
hwildemaybe you would be more happy sticking with the stable system07:41
hwildeyou can dual-boot feisty you know07:41
Assiddecided i might as well do some testing if i expect it to work on my machine "stable"07:41
Amaranthstable means "doesn't change"07:41
Amaranthnot "bug free"07:41
hwildeI mean if you are going to run hardy and get all the updates you shouldn't use that for your main system07:43
hwildeyou should keep another partition that acutally works so when hardy breaks you don't spend hours on here asking why07:43
hwildethat's what I mean by 'stable'07:43

NoWhereManI'm trying to rebuild an image to test an upstream patch08:01
Assidfor no apparent reason i get loads08:01
NoWhereManas I have already built the kernel once with debian/rules binary-generic08:01
DanaG5 in under a minute.  What keeps waking my hard drive?08:01
Assidgoes to 25% (quad core.. so 1 cpu)08:02
NoWhereMancan I rebuild incrementally from where I left?08:02
AssidDanaG:  tick tock ?08:02
Assidokay im outta here.. bbl08:02
DanaGWow, in 5 or 10 seconds, I got 3.08:03
DanaGOddly, I can call it once and get one value, and then immediately call it again and get another increase.08:04
_rubenNoWhereMan: there's ccache .. c compiler that caches stuff that hasnt changed between compile runs .. never used it myself tho08:05
NoWhereMan_ruben, doesn't make rebuild files that changed on his own? it's just that if re-run debian/rules it starts packaging without rebuilding :/08:07
DanaGThose load cycles are increasing ridiculously much.08:09
_rubenNoWhereMan: then whats the problem?08:13
NoWhereMan_ruben, the problem is that I would expect it to first rebuild the files that I have patched08:14
_rubenNoWhereMan: perhaps the patching is flawed? like just adding new files without altering others so they dont get referenced?08:15
NoWhereMan_ruben, I don't think so, I'm manually patching file1.c file2.c; no new file is added08:17
_rubenNoWhereMan: strange .. unless you're editing in a flakey way (not updating timestamps), i wouldnt a reason for it not to be rebuilt08:20
NoWhereMan_ruben, I'm using this line:08:21
NoWhereMan AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic08:21
NoWhereManbut I've tried removing the env vars to see what happened08:21
NoWhereManit started packaging anyway08:21
NoWhereManmaybe I could try touching the file :/08:22
_rubenweird .. tho must admit that i dont have very much experience building deb packages08:22
_rubenyet08:22
_rubenyt08:22
RAOFNoWhereMan: debian/rules is a make file, and you're calling the binary-generic target.  It's probable that binary-generic doesn't depend on any of the files you've touched.08:22
NoWhereManoh!08:23
RAOFIn fact, that it's not dependent on _any_ of the kernel files, just a "I've built everything" stamp.08:23
NoWhereManwhich is.....? :D08:23
NoWhereManI mean08:23
NoWhereManwhich is the timestamp?08:23
NoWhereManwhere does it read it from?08:23
RAOFYou could remove the stamp file, but I'm not sure what that file is; you'd need to read the makefile.08:23

hwildeAmaranth, lol this is like parallel universe10:21
Amaranthhwilde: haha10:21
hwildeX is not crashing it's fine10:22
hwildeit's metacity as far as I can narrow it down10:22
hwildeand I don't think it's the driver because I can play full screen games for hours with no problems10:22
hwildeit's very fast10:22
Amaranthare you sure you are using metacity?10:22
Amaranthcompiz is the default10:22
Amaranthand as i said, only a driver can lock X or the system10:23
Amaranthcompiz uses the driver in a way most driver developers never really tested heavily before10:23
hwildewell there are only a couple things10:23
hwildeif I drag a window and move my mouse around real fast, I can see the cpu spike, then the system locks up10:23
hwildeand if a pdf jumps to full screen it locks up pretty hard10:23
Amaranthit is your driver10:24
hwildeit's like a race between the video card and the cpu and htey crush each other10:24
hwildeyou say that, but I can do much more intensive things with the driver with no problem10:24
hwildethat makes me believe it is the coding in the window manager10:24
mohbanaapt-cache search font ... then?10:25
hwildealso, using the Same driver, in icewm I have no issues10:25
Amaranthand i'm telling you i know something about how this system works, the WM cannot crash the system10:25
hwildeok how do you explain it doesn't crash in icewm10:25
hwildeit is using the same driver.10:25
hwildethe only difference is the window manager10:25
Amaranthyou are obviously using compiz10:25
Amaranthnot metacity10:25
hwildehmm10:25
hwildeif you say so that's fine10:25
Amaranthcompiz is an OpenGL compositing window manager10:25
hwildesomebody once told me metacity --replace10:26
Amaranthdo you have shadows? do you get cool animations when you minimize stuff?10:26
hwildeno I turned all of that off10:26
Amaranthregular WMs are just...WMs10:26
hwildebut if my driver works fine with other wms and with fullscreen graphics then the driver is fine and the problem is in the wm10:26
Amaranththe only thing metacity could do to you is stop letting you move windows10:26
Amaranth*sigh*10:26
Amaranthwhatever, nothing to fix it will ever happen in the WM10:27
h3sp4wnhwilde: agreed - no one cares about doing things right (except the people working on e17)10:27
Amaranthyou're all out to get me10:27
Amaranthit's a conspiracy, i tell you10:27
hwildebut I am still convinced the issue is specific to the wm10:28
hwildeI think the driver is fine10:28
hwildemaybe there is no update for compiz to help and I need the nouveau driver to accommodate the bugs in the wm10:28
Amaranthhwilde: Listen to me. As far as the X server cares the WM is just another client10:28
hwildebut don't tell me it's the driver's fault if other wms work fine and full screen 3d graphics works fine10:28
AmaranthAn X client cannot crash your system unless it hits a bug in the X server or the driver10:28
hwildeI think it overloads the buffers10:29
AmaranthWhich means your bug is either in the X server itself or the driver10:29
AmaranthThe driver is much more likely to be the location10:29
hwildeno I think the wm cues up a billion operations and eventually the video card and the cpu would crunch them10:29
Amaranthmoving a window around rapidly is always CPU intensive, unless you're using a compositor10:30
hwildebut I can do much more intensive video graphics operations than dragging a window around10:30
Amaranthwhich, incidentally, is the main reason compositors exist10:30
hwildethis tells me the driver and the graphics card are fine and the issue is specific to that wm10:30
hwildeadmit you are biased and defending compiz10:30
AmaranthAnd I'm telling you you are a moron10:30
AmaranthMatter settled.10:30
hwildewhy do you have to be like that10:30
AmaranthIf you were using compiz it is possible for compiz to make the system appear to be locked up. But you say you are using metacity10:31
RAOFBecause he has a good working knowledge of the full stack; compiz, metacity, X and the drivers.10:31
AmaranthSo the WM cannot be the thing that crashes the system10:31
hwildewell it might be compiz, whatever the default is10:31
AmaranthYou said you had no effects10:32
hwilderight I turned them all off10:32
kalatiandid you disable compiz entirely, or just turn off the effects?10:32
AmaranthAlthough, again, locks of times when compiz gets "stuck" and I look at where in the code it got stuck it happens inside libGL which is the nvidia driver.10:32
mohbanakalatian, apt-cache search font ... then?10:32
=== bazhang_ is now known as bazhang
hwildeif I just run startx it doesn't crash10:32
hwildeif I then run metacity --replace  it will crash10:32
hwildewith the default install, it crashes10:33
hwildewith icewm it does not crash10:33
Amaranthhwilde: How about kwin 4 with compositing enabled? Does that crash?10:33
hwildewith the default install, starting a full screen game, it does not crash10:33
AmaranthYou may have accidentally enabled compositing in metacity too10:33
kalatianmohbana: I'd suggest you use the other suggestion if you want a command: aptitude search font\~i10:33
hwildeI dunno how do I get kwin10:33
hwildeis that kde4 ?10:33
Amaranthsudo apt-get install kwin-kde410:33
hwildekde is fine.  which doesn't make any sense because it's supposed to be heavier10:34
hwildeyeah I tried that it's fine10:34

oxigenhmm, 32bit java ,huh!10:43
kalatianicedtea works fine for me -- but you have to do something special, add a different repo or something10:43
oxigenis there some cool howto around!? :)10:43
robnhwilde: thanks, i know, but these are supposedly now built into the latest kernel and was wondering if anyone had any success. i've been using ndiswrapper but would prefer to use native10:43
kalatian...so not out of the box, sadly10:43
kalatian(at least not on gutsy)10:43
h3sp4wnoxigen: sun only supports webstart and the plugin atm on 32 bit10:44
mohbanayeh they need to fix the icedtea plugin10:44
h3sp4wn(even on Solaris - if it was ready it would be in Opensolaris already)10:44
oxigeni have no idea now what is 32 now here for flash player on this 64bit thing..10:44

h3sp4wnunless adobe actually did release a native one - I doubt that10:45
oxigeni would like to install that way java plugin too! :)10:45
h3sp4wnYou cannot - nspluginwrapper doesn't support ns7 plygins10:45
oxigenhmm10:46
h3sp4wnmaybe you can find a version of java that has a ns4 plugin somwhere10:46
robnhwilde: have you used the drivers off the realtek site yourself?10:46
oxigenwhat then to install 32bit FF?10:46

napsy_mplayer13:07
h3sp4wnwhat implies wmv about that ?@13:08
h3sp4wnavi = container - codec = xvid13:08

h3sp4wnimplied to me by you13:13

pwuertzslytherin: I did14:15
pwuertzok... I see whats happening here... my fonts should be rendered using sub-pixel-hinting14:15
slytherinpwuertz: then something wrong with your system. By the way, can you post a screenshot somewhere of this weirdness14:15

IdleOneneed some serious help. with alpha5 I can only view google.com and no other sites. what could be causing this?14:21
sochi14:23
soc some time ago there was a blueprint about integarting/upgrading to grub2 ...14:23
soci think it was for feisty ... did anything happen in the mean time or was it just a lack of time/problems/etc?14:23
socthere is a grub2 package in the repos ... but i don't know how integrated it is ...14:23
socwill it be recognized on kernel updates when writing the automagic kernel lists?14:23
h3sp4wnno14:24
h3sp4wnnot automatically anyway14:24
h3sp4wnIt uses grub.conf instead of menu.lst14:25
h3sp4wnand probably if it does have something to do that auto you would have to manually edit kernel-img.conf14:25
socmhhh14:26
socdamn ...i wanted to try out grub-invaders :-(14:27

slytherinsoc: grub2 works fine if yours is not adual boot machine.14:39
slytherinsoc: By the way grub-invaders should work with grub also. grub2 is not necessary14:41
socah ok14:41
socwhich problems can i expect with a dual boot system?14:41
socdoes it just not work?14:41
slytherinsoc: as of now the update script does not detect other operating systems.14:42
slytherinsoc: When you install grub2 it will actually add an entry to existing menu.lst to chainload grub2. grub2 will overwrite grub only when you do grub-install AFAIK.14:43
socah ok14:43
slytherinsoc: And if you install desktop-base package you get a nice shiny sky blue Debian wallpaper as background in grub214:44
socah ok14:46
socthat might be the most interesting feature ...14:46
soc:-P14:46
slytherinsoc: One more interesting is that grub2 can create rescue CD images (apart from floppy). Haven't actually tried using it.14:48
socah ok14:48
soclooks like grub2 can't read ntfs, does that mean it is unable to boot win at the moment?14:48

smurfsloveri want to help testing kde4 but pclinuxos development team is to small to deliver regular kde4 packages19:09
smurfsloverand they are busy with an upcoming release19:09
smurfsloverthen i'll install gutsy instead of hardy and give it a 2nd shot with the next development release19:10
smurfsloveryeah kubuntu even has koffice 219:11
smurfsloveri've beenon kubuntu from 5.10 till 6.1019:12
oliver_g2hello19:12
smurfsloverall the following releases gave me troubles untill gutsy19:12
smurfsloverhi oliver_g219:12
oliver_g2will 2.6.24 be the kernel that will ship with Hardy?19:12
smurfsloverprobably19:14
oliver_g2probably?19:15
oliver_g2mainly I want to know whether 2.6.25 will be considered, as that would probably break my WLAN which uses ndiswrapper :-/19:16
rskyea hehe.19:16
rskyou read kerneltrap i presume?19:16
rskor lkml19:16
oliver_g2rsk: yes19:17
smurfslovereven if they do it's always possible to install another kernel19:18
rskhopefully broadcom etc can do what intel and amd does before that.19:18
affluxoliver_g2: 2.6.24 will be the only one shipped with hardy19:19
oliver_g2afflux: that sounds good :-D19:19
PiciIts way too late to switch to a different kernel19:19
affluxdefinetly19:19
oliver_g2pff... they added gvfs and murrine that late as well...19:20
affluxmurrine came with the artwork deadline19:20
smurfsloverthis one doesn't do a nice job on configuring my fx520019:20
Picimurrine isn't isnt as big of a change as a new kernel is19:20
affluxgvfs wasn't that late, way before featurefreeze19:20
oliver_g2well, it was late enough to make me wonder if a big change like a new kernel would be possible as well19:21
affluxis 2.6.25 going to be released soon?19:22
smurfsloverbbl going to install kubuntu gutsy :)19:22
oliver_g2dunno19:23
* cyphase is liking the new hardy theme20:00
rskafflux: no20:01
rskprobably a month left or soo20:01
zniavrehello i got gnome-apps -install crash is it a known bug?20:06
rubeeshi...i noticed that without gdm front end (i.e. starting up gnome using startx), none of the admin tools work..the unlock button always grayed out20:10
rubeesis there a workaround for this?20:11
=== Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth
ZambeziWhat's apport-gtk? It's using 100% CPU.20:23
ZambeziOh. It's report. Nevermind. :-)20:23
PiciIts what generates the bug reports.20:24
ZambeziPici: I saw that when the gtk popped up. At first it didn't. It's FF again.20:26
TiyukHello... updating my kernel from 2.6.24-10-generic (the latest available version of it as of yesterday) to 2.6.24-11-generic, results in brightness controls not responding on a ThinkPad X61t. Not only that, but its /proc/acpi interface doesn't do anything either.20:26
TiyukIndeed, rebooting into 2.6.24-10-generic fixes the problem.20:27
Tiyuk[   33.387320] thinkpad_acpi: standard ACPI backlight interface available, not loading native one...20:29
ephracisIs network manager 0.7 gonna be in hardy?20:30
=== marko-_-_ is now known as marko-_-
ZambeziOkay. I tried to upload a bugreport, but the database crashed.21:02
=== neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde
andatcheanyone know why the latest xorg in hardy seems to ignore screen dimensions and just sets the dpi to 96x96?21:29
andatchefound a few debain bugs that seem related but nothing I can find will fix it :(21:29
h3sp4wnBecause its stupid21:32
h3sp4wnwhat driver are you using ?21:33
h3sp4wn(I have got my radeon to work right)21:33
h3sp4wn resolution:    106x105 dots per inch21:33
andatcheI have tried with both intel and i81021:33
andatchewith the intel driver I can fix the dpi using xrandr (obvisouly)21:34
andatcheobviosuly*21:34
h3sp4wnI can with radeon but it doesn't fix it for already started apps properly21:34
h3sp4wntake a look at http://paste.debian.net/5044021:35
h3sp4wnperhaps you can do something similar with intel21:35
andatchethat's what I've tried already :(21:36
andatchedoesn't seem to work21:36
h3sp4wnI think the edid part is what made it work for me21:36
h3sp4wnI did spend a long time messing with it21:37
h3sp4wneven longer with xrandr 1.221:37
h3sp4wn(everyone seems to think its gtk2 job to deal with this but I think its the wm21:38
h3sp4wne17 does xrandr 1.2 perfectly sanely21:38
andatchethe funny thing is there is a line in the xorg log saying: intel(0): DPI set to (95, 128)21:38
andatcheyet xrandr still shows it as 96x96 and all the fonts look nasty21:39
andatchethis is using fluxbox21:39
andatcheit's an issue with xorg it would seem21:39
h3sp4wnIt is indead21:40
andatchetis a pita21:41
h3sp4wnWell for me it was oh as well did you get rid of the hardcoded thing in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc21:41
h3sp4wn(if you are using startx / xinit)21:41
h3sp4wnIts hardcoded at 96 in there as well21:42
andatcheI'm still using gdm21:42
fdsjkalfi use mint linux, is there a way to upgrade that to the hardy core21:43
ysth1for some time now, I've been getting "eth1: unknown hardware address type 801" (twice) when doing ifup wlan0_rename22:08
lime4x4did places/network break again after todays updates?22:09
steph_Can someone help me compile b43-fwcutter VERSION 011?22:19
steph_Or tell me where I can find it?22:19
DanaGysth1: if you want to fix the "wlan0_rename" being named as such, look in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules22:26
ysth1DanaG: I don't really care what the name is22:27
DanaGThat name thing is just a cosmetic issue, too.  I think it's the wmaster interface.22:27
lime4x4also now my network transfer speed is 40.3 kb per sec atleast before i was getting 1.5 megs per sec22:27
ysth1ah, there's an entry for eth1 but not wlan0_rename there22:28
ysth1eth1 used to be the wireless until some hardy update long ago when it became wlan0_rename22:28
DanaGPerhaps there's another wlan0 there already.22:29
ysth1just eth0 and eth122:29
DanaGOdd.22:29
mooboo1does ubuntu monitor my S.M.A.R.T hard disk status?22:30
ysth1there's an "auto eth1" line in /etc/network/interfaces22:30
h3sp4wnmooboo1: can do22:30
h3sp4wnmooboo1: smartmontools22:30
mooboo1h3sp4wn, it should do by default22:30
* DanaG finds that checking SMART data can cause the drive to un-idle.22:30
h3sp4wnDon't see why22:30
ysth1everything works (except that error message being issued) so I'm reluctant to change anything22:30
mooboo1DanaG, oh22:30
DanaGOh, and my hard drive doesn't ever spin down, even when spindown time is set to 5 seconds.22:31
mooboo1oh22:31
mooboo15 secs is crazy22:31
DanaGIf I manually spin down the drive, it stays spun down for a while, actually.  Perhaps 30 seconds or so.22:31
mooboo1oh22:31
mooboo1crazy22:31
h3sp4wnI have one that has issues with some ata commands with power management22:34
h3sp4wnneed to disable all of it somehow22:34
h3sp4wn(Only use it as an external drive now though)22:34
DanaGOh, and even -B 254 OR -B 255 sometimes don't work.22:34
DanaGOh hey, now my drive is actually spinning down.22:37
h3sp4wnDanaG: This does work in this case but not when its using a usb->ata22:42
h3sp4wnannoying thing is there is a firmware upgrade but I messed it up by using freedos instead of drdos22:42
h3sp4wn(lazy basically)22:42
DanaGUSB can't pass SMART commands.22:45
h3sp4wnIs that a smart command22:52
mooboo1what package does 'ddcprobe' belong to?23:21
mooboo1and why does my 'ddcprobe' say that EDID fail?23:21
h3sp4wnguess23:41
h3sp4wnDo you know what an EDID is23:41
mooboo1yeah, its the thing in the monitor that communicates wtih the graphics card23:46
mooboo1to tell its what refresh rate its capable of doing and other stuff23:47
