dekelaFirst of all I want to say that Hardy is so Beautiful!!00:00
dekelaI just finished installing it from srcath00:00
spookylukeysocketbind, malnilion: would you mind telling me what settings you have in 'Manage Repositories' ?00:00
dekelaI would like to install Nvidia Propriety drivers however my card in not recognized in the Hardware window00:01
spookylukeyI have manually edited /etc/apt/sources.list in the past, but now it is back to standard I think00:01
dekelaI have a G-Force 9600 GT00:01
tomaskowow bleeding edge00:01
dekela01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Geforce 9600 GT 512mb (rev a1)00:01
malnilionspookylukey, I'm on regular Ubuntu, but I know I couldn't upgrade in the past when I forgot the -d tag when I ran update-manager00:01
socketbinddekela: afaik it only works with the recently released 173.08 drivers00:02
dekelaShould I go with the manual driver installtion or there is a deb file somewhere?00:02
socketbindspookylukey, i no longer have kubuntu sorry00:02
dekelasocketbind: I know thanks..00:02
socketbinddekela: i couldn't find a prepackaged driver, but installing it manually is relatively painless00:03
tomaskodekela: i just use the manual installation with my 8300 GS00:03
dekelaI was wondering if there are any plans on getting it into the repositories before the final release00:03
dekelasocketbind: I agree but every Kernel update will require a reinstallation00:03
socketbindyup but i had no choice00:03
socketbindsad thing is that display switching works only with those new drivers for me00:04
spookylukeyOK, cheers, I'm going to try using 'do-release-upgrade' instead00:05
socketbindbtw it seems that gnome guys have a bad habit of removing existing features : |00:05
socketbinddoes anybody have a slider for brightness adjustment in "Power Management Preferences" on the battery tab?00:10
_derspankstersocketbind: No, do you?00:12
socketbindno, and i wonder where is it gone : |00:12
socketbindi hope it didnt't get removed for some reason00:13
_derspankstersocketbind: can't you use the function keys on your laptop?00:14
m0u5eanyone else have problems with multiple displays with hardy rc00:14
m0u5eis it just me or has i810 crt/lcd switcher regressed -__-;00:14
socketbindi could, but this was convenient00:14
m0u5eit used to work in feisty, but doesn't work since then00:14
x0xhello00:14
x0xi have chmod to 700. after that i cant see my website.00:15
socketbindit would automatically set to that brightness when on battery : |00:15
sharperguyok how do i get java to use pulseaudio?00:15
x0xcan anyone tell what chmod i should set?00:15
JohninLexYea I have a problem when I try to use 32 windows everything slows down00:15
Monobix0x, you must place your website in /var/www00:15
MonobiAssuming you have apache2 installed and configed00:15
x0xMonobi00:15
x0xnah00:15
Monobinah what?00:16
x0xi wanna set it to home dir ;p00:16
x0xlike before00:16
MonobiThen go to apache200:16
x0xdude00:16
x0xeverything is ok00:16
MonobiThis is for Ubuntu development ;)00:16

Monobichmod 77700:16

_derspankstersocketbind: I never used it anyway00:17
socketbindwell it is bad that it is gone00:18

x0xto home dir00:18
x0xare you crazy00:18
socketbindi'm going through the source code now but i'm by no means an expert in gtk00:18
Monobix0x, slightly00:19
mikegriffinanyone else chmod /home 711 to annoy others?00:19
socketbindyup, it is really removed i guess i have to fix it for myself somehow00:19
sharperguyseriously guys there must be a way to set the java plugin to output to pulseaudio, otherwise it pretty much ties up the entire soundcard00:20
sharperguyIt only ever seems to do oss, unless i use aoss but thats no use now00:20
socketbindwell i have never tried to make java use pulseaudio00:21
socketbindbut i think pulseaudio had some kind of oss emulation layer or what00:21
mikegriffini have never used java to play any audio00:21
socketbindlemme check00:21
crimsunsharperguy: padsp.  It will probably crash.00:21
sharperguywhy?00:21
crimsunbecause the jvm sucks?00:22
socketbindit is just like aoss yup00:22
crimsun(not to mention padsp does, too)00:22

sonik887Anyone available for a grub question?00:40
mnemosonik887: dont ask to ask, just ask00:41
sonik887i got everything working fine with my ubuntu install, but i had to modify grub to point to root(0,3) instead of root(1,3) that it setup.00:41
sonik887i pointed it to the correct hard drive in the 8.04 installer, but it set up the drive numbering wrong.00:41
_derspanksterbauglir: warum00:41
sonik887i've seen this with previous ubuntu versions as well00:41
sonik8872 sata drives (both 750 seagates)00:42
sonik887once i modified grub, everything worked fine00:42
sonik887i've seen this issue on 2 different computers that each have multiple sata drives.  curious if there's a better way to make it work "out of hte box" versus having to reconfigure grub after installation.00:42
timboyCompiz-Fusion screenshot is not working properly for me. If I hold down Super then click and drag over what I want to take a screenshot it takes it but it is about 2.5 inches above where I wanted the screenshot to happen.00:44
timboyit worked fine before upgrade to hardy00:46
maneyI'm sure I'm wasting my time, but... how come the packages site lists packages that aren't listed in the corresponding Packages file on any mirror (including archive.ubuntu.com)?00:47
crimsunmaney: which packages site?  which package?  which version?00:47
Zambezicrimsun: You got chanop. Can you save us here from bauglir's stupidity/trolling?00:48
maneyeg. vlc - listed in Hardy (universe) by packages,ubuntu.com, version seems to be int he pool (only checked one mirror for that), nowhere in universe/i386 Package file00:49
crimsunZambezi: if it becomes excessive, yes.00:49
Zambezicrimsun: Good.00:50
maneyI noticed that one because the upgrade wanted to throw out the only decently working video viewer I had00:50
crimsun(currently it's annoying but nothing that an /ignore doesn't resolve)00:50
crimsunthere.00:50
markgreeneHey fellas. I am testing out the latest 8.04 release. I am unable to browse a windows network. I go to "Places" -> "Network" -> "Windows Network" and from there i see all the computers. From here I would click the computer I want and be prompted for user credintials. However instead I am presented with nothing but an emtpy window and "smb://[COMPUTER_NAME] in the address bar.00:51

maneysimilarly rhetorical, is there somewhere I haven't yet found where I can get the timestamps of when package versions went into the repository, as I can at Debian's packages site?00:52
maney(now that I've asked, I'm thinking I've asked that before and been told that Ubuntu's version just doesn't do that)00:52
maneynow there's a bug I know the FAQ answer for...00:53
crimsunmaney: don't rely on packages.ubuntu.com; it's on a crontab.00:53
crimsunmaney: the definitive source version is available via rmadison -uubuntu, or launchpad.net00:54
crimsunmaney: launchpad & launchpadlibrarian expose timestamps for accepts, builds, etc.00:54
Zeker_i'm having a problem: when ubuntu is loading something (like a window) or when I'm loading certain pages in firefox, my mouse cursor disappears.  Can anyone offer some help please?00:54
maneycrimsun: uhm, okay, so that would matter if, what, vlc has been dropped from universe altogether since the crontab last fired?00:55
ZambeziZeker_: I have no idea, but if you mention the page, someone here could try.00:55
Zeker_zambezi, it's not just a certain page, it does the same thing even when I'm not online, like when I load the add/remove program.00:56
ZambeziZeker_: Haven't heard of that problem.00:57
crimsunmaney: it was intentionally demoted from universe.00:57
crimsunmaney: it contains embedded source that correctly forced its demotion to multiverse.00:57

Zeker_well it's doing it quite a bit with me zambezi00:58
Zeker_also, I can't get any sound in my system.  Crimsun suggested checking the alsamixer and it looks fine, all the volume settings are up.  Can anyone offer suggestions?00:58
crimsunZeker_: we need info that I requested in #ubuntu.  Please provide it.00:59
maneyah, a mysterious notation that explains nothing!  thanks, got it.  dunno why they couldn't just *say* so.  BTW, I don't see anything on launchpad that would help me figure any of this out - it just says "yeah, there's a version in Gutsy.  somewhere.  go grep for it?"00:59
maneywhich is the kind of stuff that I would have hoped packages.ubunutu.com would help with, and i guess it usually does01:00
crimsunmaney: launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc01:00
maneyby a not so odd coincidence, that's the page I'm looking at01:01
Zeker_crimsun, I'm trying to get it01:01
Zeker_i'll have it ready in just a bit01:01
maneythe page contains the word "multiverse"... why, not at all01:01
crimsun- New versioning scheme to bring attention to the fact that faad and x264 are in the .orig.tar.gz.01:01

crimsunmaney: I agree that it's not clear01:02
maneysure, I saw that cryptic nonsense a long time ago.  if i were a VLC developer i guess I'd understand it right off01:02
maneythat was on packages's listing too.  with the version that must have just been dropped01:03
Zeker_ok i tried the ./alsa-info.sh command and it says "no such file or directory"01:03

_derspanksterI'm running the beta on my laptop. My desktop with a Nvidia 6600 is still running Gutsy. I'm concerned about upgrading the desktop because it has the nvidia gpu, should I be?01:24
DrUnKnMuNkYhey everyone i'm having some trouble with GRUB. i'm able to boot using the 2.6.24-12-server kernel but when I try to boot from the 2.6.24-16-server kernel I get an error 24 (Attempt to access block outside partition) and when I try to boot from the 2.6.24-15-server kernel I get an error 16 (Inconsistent file structure). Any ideas what's wrong?01:31
ShpookHello everyone. Is it possible to just upgrade to 8.04RC? I don't want to have to download and burn another cd.01:31
DrUnKnMuNkYAlso: e2fs returns no error on disk check01:31
_derspanksterShpook: are you running beta now?01:32
Zeker_sorry I took so long you guys01:32
Zeker_here's the pastebin01:32
Zeker_http://pastebin.ca/99016801:32
Zeker_i thought maybe restarting the system would help but it didn't make a difference :(01:33
Shpook_derspankster: Nope, Gutsy01:33
penis there a way to change file system format from reiserfs to ext2 without losing my data?01:34
_derspanksterShpook: I don't know why you couldn't upgrade to the RC, I upgraded to the Beta.01:35
lufisI need big time help. I just updated to hardy through update-manager -d, and I'm having the same problem I was having a few months ago with hardy. Gdm comes up and everything works great until i log in. At that point I get a black screen. Everything else works... just the display is black. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't do anything.01:35
Zeker_crimsun, are you still there?01:35
calcpen: backup, format, copy the data back01:35
lufisI'm on a dell inspiron laptop, btw01:35
Shpook_derspankster: I was wondering how, I did it from Feisty to Gusty, but I can't remember how to force it.01:36
pencalc:  I'm just curious. I tried reiser, it's fine. But is it better than ext3 overall?01:36
calcpen: i like ext3 better since it is more tested01:37
lufis...and i just fixed it. Guess what it was/01:37
Zeker_can anyone help?  I have no sound in my system01:37
lufisit was outputting to the vga port by default01:37
calcpen: but that is probably because i have been using linux a very long time and have been burned by the non-ext3 filesystems in the past01:37
_derspanksterShpook:  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2008-April/000110.html01:38
calcpen: the most used linux fs is ext3 so it is most likely to be bug free01:38
pencalc: ok, but not necessarily faster?01:38
calcpen: not sure which is fastest, iirc it used to be xfs, but then that one definitely ate data for me01:38
xboxkiller88dont sacrifice stability for speed01:39
Zeker_I have no sound in my system and I just checked the alsa mixer and nothing is muted, I checked my hardware and it's all installed correctly, and I just ran the alsa mixer script with this output (http://pastebin.ca/99016801:39
Zeker_) I still get no sound.  Can someone please help?01:39
Shpook_derspankster: Thank you, I just found it on google, it was "update -d"01:39
calcpen: of course it ate data for me around 5-6 years ago01:39
DanaGStupid nvidia.01:39
DanaGI had to reboot because my consoles were blank.01:39
pencalc: that's a long time ago01:39
* calc has been using linux for 13 years01:39
Shpook_derspankster: I appreciate the help. :-D01:39
pencalc: :O01:39
_derspanksterShpook: np, good luck!01:40
DanaGCome summer, I WILL be switching to ATI.01:40
calcaiui part of the reason it ate data was due to it only journaling metadata (iirc)01:40
DanaGPeople may say ATI's drivers are crap, but so are NVIDIA's, in my experience.01:40
_derspanksterDanaG: what nvidia card are you using?01:40
DanaGATI's drivers are also getting better over time.01:40
DanaGCard is GeForce Go 7600.01:40
xboxkiller88im using ati01:40
pencalc: should I wait for ext4?01:40
Zeker_can anyone please help me with my sound problem?01:40
DanaGAnd even if ATI's drivers are crap.... I'd rather have open-source crap than closed-source crap.01:40
xboxkiller88with drivers from there site better that what i get from yum (fedora 8)01:41
calcpen: ext4 probably won't be used until 8.10/9.04 at earliest01:41
DanaGyum?  Sounds like what I say about food.01:41
pencalc: oh01:41
DanaG!botsnack01:41
ubotuYum! Err, I mean, APT!01:41
_derspanksterDanaG: I have a 6600 on my desktop but it's still running Gutsy but without issues.01:41
pencalc: I have heard it's better than it's predecessor.01:41
DanaGI left my system up over the night, running Azureus with Compiz also active, and Xorg hard-locked.01:42
DanaGI killed it with a SAK, and when I logged in again, my desktop was severely slow and laggy -- like it was entirely CPU-drawn, even with metacity.01:42
wastrelsak01:43
wastrelwhat's SAK?01:43
DanaGI went to stop gdm... and found all my consoles to be blank.01:43
DanaGSAK is alt-sysrq-k.  It's a kernel-level kill of everything on the current TTY.01:43
pencalc: well01:43
IcemanV9hardy is coming along nicely!! :-)01:43
pencalc: then should I switch back to ext3?01:43
wastrel"swiss army knife"01:43
DanaGOh, and my dmesg had that "NVRM: Xid" stuff.01:45
DanaGUsually, running azureus + compiz results in a complete hard-lockup of the whole system after a while.01:46
DanaGThis time I was using a cardbus NIC instead of my integrated one, and only Xorg froze.01:46
testing8hello there. just downloaded&burnt 8.04, booted fine, but it doesn't let me use existing partitions.. only all at once01:47
testing8any ideas?01:47
_derspanksterDanaG: disheartening for sure. But, I've not experienced anything like that, sorry.01:48
DanaGSo, in summer, I'll be getting a new laptop (for a host of other reasons), and jumping ship from nvidia.01:49
wastrelazureus is a java program isn't it?01:49
DanaGYeah.01:49
wastrelyou could try with a different jvm01:49
DanaGBut it only causes lockups if I also have a 3D app running at the same time.01:50
DanaGAnd by "3d app" -- even the rss-glx screensavers count.01:50
calcpen: its up to you :) pretty much all of them are better at least in theory its up to how well debugged they are, you may want to search to see if anyone has been having problems with eg reiserfs lately if not you might want to just stay with it01:50
calcpen: er better than ext3 i mean01:51
testing8i can see and mount all the drives, but the installer wants me to make a new partition list...01:51
pencalc: well, I have done some research on those formats before. But almost every format has users who have experienced problems with it.01:57
=== nivek_ is now known as nivek
pencalc: so I'm confused to choose the best one for my computer setup01:57
pixelmonkeyhey there; I'm trying to upgrade my Ubuntu install from 6.10 to the 8.04 release candidate, however when I pull up update-manager -d it says the latest release is 7.10, not 8.0401:57
luderacer8.04 anit out yet is it?01:57
penpixelmonkey: then update again after you get to 7.1001:57
penluderacer: 5 more days for official01:57
luderacer:)01:57
pixelmonkeypen, oh, I need to do it like that?01:58
MTecknologyI think the only other thing I really want to figure out is how to make the login screen not take up 4x the size of my screen. It's just trying to use a resolution that my monitor can't support. Once I log in, it's fine01:58
luderacercant wait01:58
penpixelmonkey: I think so. Since there are too many changes from 6.10 to 8.0401:58
=== bazhang_ is now known as bazhang
penMTecknology: that's interesting... try to change the themes maybe?01:58
calcpen: the one least likely to experience problems at least IME is ext3, but it has had problems as well many years ago, I just didn't get personally burned by it since I was using xfs at the time (i think)01:58
calcpen: so its up to you which fs to use but ext3 is generally the most widely used, and widely used == widely tested/debugged :)01:59
MTecknologypen, will do - I was just wondering the same thing01:59
pencalc: but I don't undersatnd why it takes so much space for just format into it01:59
calcpixelmonkey: the official upgrade path from 6.10 is to 7.0401:59
DanaGwtf?  quodlibet just stopped showing folder contents.02:00
calcpixelmonkey: the only direct upgrade paths to 8.04 are 6.06 (LTS) and 7.1002:00
DanaGThat's b0rked.02:00
calcpen: hmm?02:00
calcpen: you mean what df shows?02:00
pixelmonkeypen, if calc, I see... but at the end of the day, if I do the two-step (->7.10 and then ->8.04) upgrade, that's not going to cause major problems, will it?02:00
pencalc: if you format a fresh partiiton to ext3 the used space is greater than other formats02:00
calcpen: there is a smallish area used for journal and then iirc 5% is set aside for root user for cases of disk full problems02:01
MTecknologypen, nope - same problem02:01
calcpen: you can tweak that with tune2fs02:01
pixelmonkeyat the end of the day, it's just software :-D02:01
penpixelmonkey: it shouldn't be, but try to research it on google and see if anyothers are having the same problems02:01
calcpixelmonkey: it shouldn't cause a problem02:01
pencalc: oh02:01
pixelmonkeygreat, thanks very much for the help guys02:01
penMTecknology: are you using the default theme?02:02
Sergeant_Ponyis there a way to change the default program that opens when I put in a cd?02:02
calcpen: tune2fs -l /dev/filesystem should show you the stats02:02
penSergeant_Pony: system|preferences|preferred program02:02
penSergeant_Pony: something likt that02:03
calcpen: i don't know that it is safe to change settings on a mounted fs though02:03
Sergeant_Ponyok, cool02:03
calcpen: so if you tweak the settings then you probably want to boot off the livecd02:03
MTecknologypen, I switched back to it - same result - it's just that Ubuntu thinks it can use a higher resolution than my monitor can handle02:03
pencalc: would it damaged my data?02:03
calcpen: it might if you do it to a mounted fs02:03
calcpen: i'm not sure02:04
calcpen: which is why i said to do it when booted off a livecd instead, that definitely won't damage it02:04
penMTecknology: when did it start malfunctioning?02:04
Sergeant_Ponypen: I installed vlc and it doesn't list it02:04
pencalc: ok02:04
calceg on my system i have: Reserved block count:     41939602:04
calcwhich is 1.6GB reserved02:05
penSergeant_Pony: hold on. I think it's somewhere else02:05
calcfor a 32GB fs02:05
MTecknologypen, I just installed the system today - i wouldn't consider it a malfunction, just in incorrect setting.... basically, it's bigger than I can see on my monitor but I can still log in02:05
pencalc: I see02:06
calcpen: the reserved space is for the root user so that you don't end up screwing up the machine if a regular user tries to use of all of the disk02:06
Sergeant_Ponypen: preferred applications02:06
calcpen: so it usually a good idea to leave it alone, at least for the root (/ ) filesystem02:06
MTecknologypen, I need gdm using 1280x1024 instead of 2048x153602:07
calcif you end up running (/ ) out of space then logs stop working, etc02:07
calcwell if /var is on the same partition anyway02:07
pencalc: I see, but I see lost $ found folder after I format to ext302:07
DanaGMoving /var is a bit tricky.02:07
penMTecknology: go to xorg02:07
DanaGYou need /var/run and /var/log on the root fs.02:07
penSergeant_Pony: It's somewhere else I remember02:08
Sergeant_Ponyok02:08
penSergeant_Pony: where you can specify what action should take when you insert a cd02:08
calcpen: that is not a problem, that is where it sticks inodes that it can't figure out what to do with, it should normally always be an empty directory02:08
canen_hello02:08
penMTecknology: I mean go to xorg and comment out some of the predefined resolution02:09
penMTecknology: and see if it's still doing that02:09
canen_i am trying to upgrade to the kubuntu rc with the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu02:09
canen_but the "version upgrade" button is not showing up02:09
canen_i have 3 party repos disabled02:10
pencalc: ok02:10
canen_anyone experienced this problem?02:10
MTecknologypen, I tried deleting them completely - no effect02:10
calcpen: files will only show in that dir if the filesystem gets screwed up and it can't determine what to do with the files, eg like on windows with chk0001.dsk files02:10
penMTecknology: is your GtkRC file check box checked?02:10
calcpen: or however they are named, its been a long time since i used windows much02:10
pencalc: i see02:10
pencalc: that makes sense02:10
MTecknologypen, ?02:11
penMTecknology: in login screen under menu system|adminstration02:11
calcpen: if you use ext2 and lose power while writing to the disk it will create files there most of the time, for ext3 it usually can determine what to do about the problems02:11
MTecknologynope - what's that for?02:11
chucklargetimboy you were helping me earlier, are you still around ?02:11
timboychucklarge, yeah just got back on not too long ago. did that work?02:12
chucklargeno, I disabled the onboard ethernet and have some new settings, but still nothing02:12
thompadvds open with the default player and it will not play the menu only one episode.02:13
penSergeant_Pony: sorry, I just can't seem to find it now02:13
pencalc: what do you mean by that for ext3?02:13
Sergeant_Ponypen: it's not preferred applications?02:13
penMTecknology: specify your own GTK options02:13
chucklargetimboy new setup http://pastebin.ca/99020402:13
penSergeant_Pony: well, that's one place02:13
penSergeant_Pony: there is another place for specification02:13
Sergeant_Ponyok02:14
calcpen: since ext3 is journaling fs it can usually recover from power loss problems02:14
pencalc: you mean if I create a text file it would save the file to the disk if somehow my power is off?02:14
calcpen: ext2 is not journaling so it would create files in /lost+found if power was lost while writing to the disk, etc02:14
pencalc: no, ext3 do that too02:15
pencalc: i mean02:15
timboychucklarge, try putting the auto eth1 before the eth1 settings02:15
pencalc: ext3 creates the folder too02:15
calcpen: no ext3/reiser/xfs/etc keeps your disk in consistent state, ext2 can't and so it sees something wrong it moves the inodes entries into /lost+found02:15
calcpen: on ext3 is it an empty dir for you?02:15
pencalc: that's strange. I always see /lost+found in ext302:15
calcpen: on ext2 pull the power while writing to disk and you will see lots of files in the /lost+found dir02:15
pencalc: it's an empty dir02:15
calcthe dir will always exist on ext2/ext3 and probably ext4 even02:16
pencalc: oh, got it02:16
calcits the dir where they stick lost inodes02:16
MTecknologypen, so - after i check that, then what?02:16
DistroJockeySergeant_Pony: you talking about an audio cd?02:16
penMTecknology: do you have any experience with xorg.conf?02:17
MTecknologypen, xorg.conf, yes02:17
MTecknologynot gdm configuration02:17
penMTecknology: go to xorg and change the resolutions available to only the desire one left02:17
MTecknologypen, I said I already did that02:18

DistroJockeyMTecknology: are you restarting the X server after you change xorg.conf?02:22
MTecknologyDistroJockey, normally that doesn't work on this particular computer so I restart02:23
DistroJockeyMTecknology: ahh, k02:23
timboychucklarge, oh ok.02:24
timboychucklarge, and what is your router's ip? 1.1? does your router not do dhcp?02:25
chucklargetimboy , yeah 1.1 .  it does dhcp but this is my fileserver, so static02:26
* DanaG wants to see somebody accidentally put an ascii 0001 (initiates CTCP) in a quit message.02:26
chucklargei can take it off static and see if that works..02:26
timboychucklarge, I was just going to suggest trying to make it try to pull an ip from your router by setting it to dhcp then see if you can ping the router so we can test more variables.02:27

chucklargetimboy, set it to dhcp and restarted network, this is the echo http://pastebin.ca/99022602:34
timboychucklarge, looks like it is a router issue to me. Are there any other computers working on the network? if you set it to static can you ping them?02:36
DistroJockeySergeant_Pony: hmm,   gnome-volume-manager   comes close (but not quite)02:36
Sergeant_PonyDistroJockey it's a pita when I put in a cd and have to close out the "default" program and open up VLC. Hoping I can find a way around that.02:37
MTecknologyI think I may have found the setting that was wrong02:38

nickrud!uuid | L0rd_Rahl there's a link at the end03:07
eltuxhomer_: still no applets though D:03:07
ubotuL0rd_Rahl there's a link at the end: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)03:07
L0rd_RahlAlso the Hardy beta is trying to fsck my encrypted partitions before the crypto loop is setup. Not cool...03:07
crimsunDanaG: yeah, the cyclical part is a pain, but thankfully it won't occur by default.  i.e., a user has to manually run asoundconf set-pulseaudio to effect that cycle.03:08
L0rd_Rahlnickrud: Thanks, I read some of that earlier. I guess sometimes you have to stop supporting devices to move forward.03:08
homer_eltux, sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-bzr awn-manager-bzr awn-core-applets-bzr03:09
nickrudL0rd_Rahl luckily I had everything set by uuid's when I switched to hardy03:09
L0rd_RahlKind of sucks though... one of the strengths of linux was that you could run on older hardware. Now it seems that we'll have to buy new hardware every few years to keep up like the windows crowd.03:09
homer_eltux, and you should have the applets03:09
eltuxhomer_: yeah, i just opened synaptic and did it that way instead :D03:09
L0rd_RahlYeah the uuid thing is no big deal, just lost support for 2 different ata cards. Gonna have to do roll back for now.03:09
crimsunI suppose I could hack alsa-plugins to detect the cycle, but I'm not comfortable doing that for hardy.  In three days.  Right.03:09

duncanmhello, i'm having issues with the nvidia driver03:46

paynitoi have just upgraded from 6.10 to 8.04 via update manager, now all my menus and cancel, ok, login, password only show boxes, some kind of font issue, i can type in the terminal and see the letters fine, i can type and read letters inside of firefox but the firefox window name is only boxes03:48
latituiam using partimage (as backhand of g4l) it says cant read image from block 0. iam trying to make an image... and i cant use some other app. they are too difficult and i want to make an image of the full partition (excluding freespace). how can i check the partition? (i have already done fsck)?03:48
paddy2kcrdlb: it looks the same, i think there#s an extra line at the bottom about the freefontpath03:49
crdlbarg BulletProofX03:50
crdlbthere's no way to see what the real error is unless you stop gdm and startx manually03:50
paynitosorry, make that 6.0603:51
paddy2kcrdlb: thanks for all your help, but it's gettin late here and i think i'm just gonna turn in.03:51
nosrednaekimpaynito: and thats the only problem? awesome :)03:51
crdlbok, I'll be doing the same soon03:52
paynitothanks nosrednaekim, that really puts things into perspective03:52
nosrednaekimpaynito: wounds like some sort of font issue.... try running "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" to make sure you have all the packages, if that doesn't work, try making a new user03:53
paynitoi was watching the terminal window in update manager, it kept saying "can't find En:Au Language, reverting to C"03:54
DanaGEn:Au is mis-capitalized.03:54
jgt157does anyone know if the problems with wine are being worked on?03:54
DanaGGo back to the language thingy in system admin menu.03:54
paynitotons of dependency errors  . . .depends: gnome menus but it is not going to be installed , depend:xorg but it is not going to be installed E:broken packages, this after running03:56
paynitosudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop03:56
nosrednaekimsave those errors, they are important to the ubuntu devs03:57
latituiam using partimage (as backhand of g4l) it says cant read image from block 0. iam trying to make an image... and i cant use some other app. they are too difficult and i want to make an image of the full partition (excluding freespace). how can i check the partition? (i have already done fsck)?03:57
jgt157is there a separate support channel for kubuntu hardy?03:58
nosrednaekimjgt157: nope03:59
nosrednaekimpaynito: and file a bug03:59
jgt157thx03:59
paynitook, i copied it and will file at bugs.launchpad.net??04:01
keanubeen trying the past few days without much of an answer - can someone explain why libsdl1.2debian-alsa is still installed by default instead of libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio?04:01
latitu if i dd if=/dev/hda1 | gzip > /home/hda1.bin.gz      , it will copy data including freespace too or just files ?04:06
=== billisnice___ is now known as billisnice
icanhaskeanu: alsa works better?04:07
keanuicanhas, alsa doesn't work at all04:07
keanuicanhas, tested with rockbox simulator and frozen bubble - no sound unless -pulseaudio is used04:08
icanhaskeanu: Well then configure it :D To answer your question, i'm honestly not sure. I found the same thing to be true (about the default alsa install).04:08
keanuicanhas, there's no configuration to change it04:09
latituif i dd if=/dev/hda1 | gzip > /home/hda1.bin.gz      , it will copy data including freespace too or just files ?04:09
keanuicanhas, since pulseaudio is the default sound server, it makes sense to have -pulseaudio installed by default over -alsa04:10
icanhaskeanu: absolutely that makes sense. honestly i was slightly confused also.04:10
gunashekari dont think pulse audio is a replacement for alsa04:12
keanugunashekar, then explain why -pulseaudio is required for sound in SDL applications04:12
hydrogenpulseaudio is a layer over alsa04:12
hydrogenit's not a replacement04:12
keanuok04:12
keanubut even so, when i tested, libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio was required to prevent segfaulting and sound output - -alsa (default installed) didn't work04:13
gunashekarapplications using ALSA will output sound to PulseAudio, which then uses ALSA itself to access the real sound card.04:13
icanhasThere you go. knew there was an answer :P04:14
timboychucklarge, news?04:14
keanugunashekar, so why doesn't sound work without -alsa being replaced with -pulseaudio?04:14
keanu(on SDL applications)04:14
keanuexample applications being frozen-bubble and the rockbox simulator (frozen bubble being easier to get)04:15
gunashekarPulseAudio also provides its own native interface to applications that want to support PulseAudio directly04:15
keanugunashekar, just to make sure it isn't my system that isn't screwed up, can you try installing frozen-bubble and see if there's sound?04:16
gunashekarpulseaudio aims to act as a sound server04:16
gunashekarok wait04:16
keanudon't want to be sitting here making useless arguments ;)04:16

(i have already done fsck)? it was working fine until i  upgraded to hardy..........04:16
mooboo1please put kernel 2.6.25 in the repo04:16
mooboo1or in hardy-proposed04:16
mooboo1or in hardy-backports04:17
mooboo1or just make a .deb that we can download and install manually04:17
timboyI second that mooboo1 !04:17
wastreli have 2.6.2404:17
wastrelhrm no i have .2204:17
timboywastrel, you are running gutsy if you have .2204:18
icanhasWhat's so special about 2.6.25?04:18
Dr_willisif making an image of a drive with freespace. its often worth wile to zero out the freespace from what ive read/done with Mondo/mindi. otherwise your freespace will be random data. that wont compress very well.04:18
hydrogenI'm pretty sure 2.6.25 is not going to be packaged for hardy04:18
wastrelheh i'm ssh'd into my gusty box04:18
wastrelyeah i have 24 on the laptop04:18
mooboo1icanhas, PIE execute memory randomization, group scheduling, etc04:18
wastreli knew i had 24 somewhere. but i did uname -r to check :]04:18
timboywastrel,  you're just trying to be cool... we all know. ;)04:19
latituhow to completely check a partition? ext304:19
chucklargetimboy, hey.  well no luck.   i see the computer in my router cp with a dhcp address.   In network settings on computer, I see the dns servers show up and search ... .  but i can get any network connections.   aside from that, other odd stuff is happening with gnome, but i am not worried about that right now.04:19
Dr_willisi wonder if .24 could have those optins. and if they are just disabled...04:19
Dr_willislatitu,  badblocks command, and fsck.04:19
mooboo1latitu, fsck04:19
gunashekarkeanu: the sound works well04:19
latitufsck does checks badsecots?04:19
mooboo1Dr_willis, fsck calls badblock if you use a certain parameter04:20
keanugunashekar, and you have libsdl1.2debian-alsa installed?04:20
latituDr_willis what is the badblocks comand ?04:20
mooboo1latitu, yes, if you have a certain parameter04:20
Dr_willislatitu,  whats why i said 'badblocks' specifically.04:20
mooboo1-cfv i think or something04:20
Dr_willismooboo1,  does it? never noticed . perhaps becase i never had badblocks.. :)04:20
gunashekarkeanu: lemme check04:20
mooboo1Dr_willis, hehe, you dont know that :p04:20
Dr_willisoh. its an optional thang eh.04:20
timboychucklarge, ok weird. sorry for all the trouble. I like it more when people say that fixed it... ;)04:20
Dr_willismooboo1,  im a leet haxor. my hardware is perfect! like my os!04:21
Dr_willis:P04:21
rcampbelCan anyone help with nvidia over svideo issues? Everything working hooked to lcd. No video out on TV via svideo once nvidia drivers load :(04:21
mooboo1Dr_willis, yeah, maybe if you made it yourself04:21
gunashekarkeanu: yes it is installed04:21
mooboo1i cry because ubuntu dont come with full disk encryption :(04:21
latituDr_willis mooboo1 i did "sudo touch /forcefsck"     and it checked my distro partition  on reboot. is that enough?04:21
Dr_willisrcampbel,  to enable tv out for my nvidia cards i had to use twinview and set the tv to be cloned, or part of the larget desktop04:21
keanugunashekar, weird04:21
keanumaybe it is just my system then04:21
Dr_willislatitu,  depends on what you are wanting to do exactly. that checked the filesystems.04:21
gunashekarmaybe04:22
latituDr_willis i want to check each and everything possible on the partition. how can i do it. i run my os in that. ubuntu04:22
rcampbelDr_willis: Thanks. I'll try that.04:22
latitu?04:22
mooboo1latitu, not sure04:22
Dr_willislatitu,  badblocks checks the drive for bad blocks, and other erores. fsck checks the filesystem. Run each and see.04:22
latituDr_willis how to run all in one command04:23
Dr_williswhy are you doing all this work onyour hard drive? is ther some actual problem? or are you jsut being parnoid?04:23
paynitoinside the language thingy I think it is the one with the flags04:23
paynitoi can only see boxes, no words like english french etc04:23
paynitowhich checkbox should i check04:23
paynitothe first the 5th ???04:23
latituDr_willis i want to be sure and check04:24
chucklargetimboy, thanks, I really appreciate your help. not sure what i can do either.04:24
timboychucklarge, np that's what we're supposed to be here for... ;)04:25
Dr_willislatitu,  i normally boot a live cd and fsck the various filesystems.04:26
Dr_willislatitu,  thats about all ive ever needed to do.04:26
latitufsck -t ext3 /dev/hda204:26
latituI want to check everything. files badsectors. etc04:27
Dr_willislatitu,  which is basicially iendital to what you did with the touch /forcesfck thing on bootup.04:27
paynitocan some one open the language selector and tell me which check box is english and which item in the drop-down menu?04:27
latituDr_willis how can i check every thing by touch /forcesfck        ?04:27
Dr_willislatitu,  run the badblocks command for each partition beforhand i guess.   seeif it reports any error messages., but im not seeing how badblocks fixs things. Im checking its man pages now.04:27
Dr_willislatitu,  that does a fsck, that does check everthing basicially04:28
latituDr_willis complete command?04:28
Dr_willisfsck.ext3 /dev/devicename04:28
timboyouch that sucks paynito. where's the language selector?04:28
Dr_willistime to check the 'man fsck.ext3' and 'man badblocks' pages.   Im rereading them now.04:29
paynitothere are 3 menus on top of the screen04:29
Peloevening folks04:29
Dr_willisaha. for fsck.ext3 -c     This  option  causes  e2fsck  to use badblocks(8) program to do a read-only scan of the device in order to find any bad blocks.  If any bad blocks are found, they are added to the bad block inode to prevent them from04:29
Dr_willis              being allocated to a file or directory.  If this option is specified twice, then the bad block scan will be done using a non-destructive read-write test.04:29

Pelopaynito,  if you did the upgrade properly you should only have hardy repos,  how did you do the upgrade ?04:48
paynitofrom upgrade-manager it asked me to insert a cd and i inserted a 8.04 beta, not the alt-install beta04:49
ATOMBOMBIIVPelo: the thing about my firewall....i use a firewall that unless i start the GUI i cant use the internet and it requires root privialages to start04:49
paynitoit was downloading alot of stuff, i don't know what it was taking from the cd04:49
Pelopaynito, is that computer connected to the internet ? boot the recovery mode and run  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade , maybe it didn'T get to finish04:50
paynitoi select recovery from grub?04:50
Pelopaynito,  it was probably taking the basic stuff from the cd and the rest from the web04:51
Pelopaynito, yes04:51
paynitothat sounds worth a try04:51

Dr_willisWe had a discussion of this ysterday. :)  I cant seem to get xmms2 to do .. err... much of anytying. heh05:07
penis it good?05:07
VoidedCheckI'm fine with rhythmbox for now05:07
zionpsyferaudacious ftw05:07
Dr_willisaudacious does what i need. Xmms2 is a bit.. extream in what its trying to do from what little i usedit.05:08
penDr_willis: what do you mean?05:08
VoidedCheckxmms2 is recent?05:08
VoidedCheckin the repositories?05:08
Dr_willisinstall it and see. its  like a whole music server/tool, not just a player any more05:08

penDr_willis: does it still maintain the winamp style?05:09
penDr_willis: what is the difference?05:09
Dr_willispen,  technically xmms2 dosent have a gui. :) you install the various front ends for a gui05:09
penDr_willis: What good about the server thing05:09
Dr_willisapt-cache search xmms205:09
Dr_willisand look at all the stuff it has05:09
penDr_willis: I see05:09
Dr_willisi dont need a 'media layer system' i wanted a player. :) plain and simple for my tunes.05:10
penDr_willis: I wonder why xmms is not xmms anymore05:10
zionpsyfermore like fubar 2k than winamp now imho.  Agreed with Dr_willis.05:11
Dr_willispen,  i heard debian droped it due to unfixed security issues.. last  i used xmms - it had a lot of other issues.05:11
penDr_willis: I see05:11
Dr_willisIf you want xmms, you can compile it from source I guess.   Audacious is very close to xmms.05:11
Dr_willisI perfer bmpx since i like to listen to last.fm05:11
VoidedCheckyeah fubar was great05:11
penDr_willis: I tried, but just not used to it. I would wish it's better library management05:11

VoidedCheckright?05:12
zionpsyferDr_willis: Have you experienced any lag or weirdness with streams from shoutcast/etc from audacious?05:12
Dr_willisI really dont mess with  my libary much.. select all, play random..05:12
Dr_williszionpsyfer,  not that ive noticed.05:12
penVoidedCheck: never use that before, what is it like?05:12
penDr_willis: I don't like a separate mp3 tag editor05:13

VoidedCheckfubar is crack for music on windows05:13
Dr_willispen,  i got my tags set.. so i dont need to edit them any more. :)05:13
VoidedCheckit's not pretty, but it gets the job done in spades05:13
VoidedCheckand now it's not as ugly as it used to be05:14
Dr_williszionpsyfer,  im playing some shoutcast with  audious now..  lets see if i have any issues05:14
VoidedCheckor were you asking about ncurses?05:14
bullgard4Dr_willis: I have changed the font that gnome-terminal is using. The GNOME terminal still displays letters blurred. My guess is that the GNOME terminal takes a wrong dpi value (96 dpi instead of actually needed 85) and displays the letters using using anti-aliasing.05:15
Dr_willisI for one would perfer to see all these players go back to a more 'standard/common/normal program interface' then all these themeable Eyesores ive seen so many use05:15
zionpsyferHere's hoping... audacious in 7.10 worked great for local files but took a good 30 seconds to load playlists from shoutcast.05:15
VoidedCheckncurses is basically a way of having some interactive interface to a command line05:15
zionpsyferxmms was my backup for streaming.05:15
DanaGVoidedCheck: comic is xkcd05:15
VoidedCheckyeah  :)  :)05:15
VoidedCheckthat comic rocks05:15
Dr_williszionpsyfer,  Hmm. Im using Streamtuner to get the shoutcast playlist, it then loads/sends them to audacious05:15
penha05:15
Dr_williszionpsyfer,  not even noticed audacious having its own shoutcast listing area. lets ee05:16

VoidedCheck*covered05:18
VoidedCheckwasn't really that hard05:18
zionpsyferstreamtuner... never tried that.  added to my post upgrade list05:19

penomg haha05:20
crimsunpen: install audacious-plugins-extra05:20
VoidedCheckwhee05:20
pencrimsun: k05:20
crimsunif you're using a default Ubuntu install, you probably need to configure audacious to use the pulseaudio output.05:20
Dr_willisYea - it pays to apt-cache search whATEVER for all these tools.05:20
pencrimsun: i did change it to pulse05:20
zionpsyferpulse... I'm a bit apprehensive.05:20
Dr_willisHmm,.. Im using KDE. so i dident need to change it to pulse. :)05:20
VoidedCheckdefault ubuntu install from which source?05:21
pencrimsun: I'm going to install extra05:21
DanaGI want that HP MDPS driver.05:21
VoidedCheckbeta, rc, eh?05:21
zionpsyferheh05:21
penrc I think05:21
Dr_willisPluse- has a lot of neat features. - but ive got like no need for them. :)05:21
penI update05:21
VoidedCheckplease do05:21
penVoidedCheck: I mean I follow every update05:22
VoidedCheckah ok  :P05:22
penafter install the extra still no sound05:22
VoidedCheckdo you have sound on other players?05:22
penI have firefox opened05:22
penI change audio back to alsa still no sound05:23
zionpsyferDr_willis:  The promise of solving the esd, oss, alsa mess would be worth it alone though wouldn't you agree?05:23
Dr_williszionpsyfer,  amazingly enough.. i rarely have any problems with my sound..05:24
DanaG....as long as they fix the "apps eat all RAM if Pulse dies" issue...05:24
VoidedChecksound and video are the major hangs when there are hangs atm05:24
crimsunpen: do you have a Flash applet open?05:24
pencrimsun: flash and applet? maybe05:24
crimsunif so, you have to close Firefox, or you have to install libflashsupport, or you have to use my pulse config diff.05:24
zionpsyferDr_willis: really?  Any gaming?  I have a heck of a time with gaming/voice chat/music.05:25
penI install libflashsupport05:25
pened05:25
crimsunI hate how hackish this all became at the last moment.05:25
DanaGargh, why the **** does quodlibet stop showing any files after a wile?05:25
DanaGwhile.05:25
pencrimsun: why is this not working out of box?05:25
VoidedCheckdid you install flashplugin-nonfree ?05:25
penI did05:25
Dr_williszionpsyfer,  i cant recall any issues. I do recall doing teamspeak while jamming to Kenny G. befor.  and skype.  no issues.05:25
VoidedCheck32 or 64 bit?05:25
penI install all I need to make flash and java work05:25
Dr_williszionpsyfer,  i know a lot of others have issues.. but i enver seem to have any05:25
crimsunpen: because libflashsupport was pinpointed as the culprit of many Firefox crashers with Flash.05:25
Dr_williszionpsyfer,  perhaps its very good that i have a creative sound card. :)05:26
pencrimsun: I install the patch from the perfect setup in pulseausio page05:26
crimsunpen: which patch?05:26
pencrimsun: it's in the perfect setup05:26
crimsunpen: there are a /lot/ of those mentioned.  Which?05:26
VoidedCheckthere's a perfect setup of flash?05:26
VoidedCheck*shocked*05:27
Dr_willisperfect flash = dont use it. :P05:27
Dr_willisit had to be said...05:27
Dr_willisheh heh05:27
penVoidedCheck: yay...hehe05:27
zionpsyferDr_willis: heh, that might be it.  :)05:27
pencrimsun: the one in whcih you have to download the source and compile05:27
crimsunpen: meaning libflashsupport that's in universe?05:27

bullgard4After upgrading, Hardy shows the letters in the GNOME terminal blurred. But the letters of GNOME menu items and Tracker Search are crisp. How to explain this?  My guess is that the GNOME terminal takes a wrong dpi value (96 dpi instead of actually needed 85) and displays the letters using anti-aliasing.05:29
VoidedCheckdid you compile from source?05:29
crimsunpen: that's the old, deprecated version of libflashsupport.05:30
pencrimsun: really?05:30
VoidedCheckjeez05:30
VoidedCheckwhat a mess05:30
crimsunpen: you should be using the version that's in the universe component.05:30
penbtw, this is the error mesg I got from audacious when I click play05:30
penMADPlug-Message: failed to open audio output: XMMS reverse compatibility output plugin05:30

crimsunI sense impending doom.05:30
Dr_willisxmms still haunts us!05:31
VoidedCheckit's just your nerves05:31
DanaGOh wait, the libflashsupport in the repos is old?  Is that why it crashes?05:32
pencrimsun: btw, what version is it in the repos?05:32
DanaG(Or part of it, at least.)05:32
pencrimsun: you said it's the latest05:32
VoidedCheck1.9.0ubuntu105:33
VoidedCheck*1.9-0ubuntu105:33
VoidedCheckthat's the one I see05:33
penthat's the one I got too05:33
penis that the lastest?05:33
crimsunDanaG: no, revolutionlinux hosted the original pulse support05:33
crimsunDanaG: lennart cleaned it up, and it's what is known as libflashsupport in hardy05:34
DanaGaah.05:34
DanaGOh yeah, if you do use the 'default' device, how will you prevent infinite recursion?05:34
crimsunDanaG: answered above.  Currently, no way, and although I can hack up something for alsa-lib, there's no way I'd put it into hardy.05:35
DanaGaah.05:35
crimsuns/lib/plugins/05:35
pencrimsun: btw, even after I close firefox audacious still have no sound when play05:35
DanaGPerhaps you could have asoundconf itself do it?05:35
penMADPlug-Message: failed to open audio output: XMMS reverse compatibility output plugin05:36
DanaGHave asoundconf look at the pulseaudio config file.05:36
penwhat does this mean?05:36
crimsunpen: well, do you hear anything from `paplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav'?05:36
penpaplay?05:36
penI use mpg12305:36
pendoes that make a difference?05:36
crimsunno, use paplay.05:36
crimsunwe're testing PulseAudio output specifically.05:36
crimsunDanaG: I considered it, but that really complicates asoundconf05:37
pencrimsun: wav file?05:37
crimsunpen: yes05:37
pencrimsun: I have only mp305:37
crimsunpen: ...no, you also have wavs.05:37

crimsunpen: no idea.  I'm not familiar with it.05:38

penwhy audacious have sound noise when I switch to oss plugin?05:44
DistroJockeybullgard4: Application, Document, Desktop, Windows title and Fixed width05:44
crimsun...the real question is why are you using the oss plugin if you're not using OSS v4.1?05:44
pencrimsun: I'm not, just experienting05:44
pencrimsun: i'm surprise there is some "sound"05:44
DanaG ô˛ô05:45
kahrytanI just installed Hardy RC.. not bad.05:46
bullgard4DistroJockey: Thank you very much for your help.05:46
DistroJockeybullgard4: no problem05:46
VoidedCheckyeah the hardy rc is amazingly stable05:46
kahrytanWhy did they removed xchat from live cd in the past?05:47
crimsunDanaG: part of the rationale for not cluttering asoundconf with such checks is because it's better to have the logic in a UI05:47
DanaGaah.05:47
kahrytanxchat is a valuable support tool when needing live help05:47
VoidedCheckas is any irc client05:48
crimsunI really should separate the check logic completely, however.05:48
dmsupermanSo when it releases, what are some of the big features I'll be able to see with Hardy Herron?05:48
VoidedChecklike...  irc05:48
DanaGWhere WOULD you put the loop check? That's a good question.05:48
Black_MagicWould anyone know how to make Gnome-Terminal transparent?05:48
Hobbseekahrytan: because xchat-gnome is there, last i checked.05:48
VoidedCheckthat it is05:48
crimsunDanaG: in alsa-plugins, specifically the pulseaudio module.05:48
VoidedCheckand I installed vanilla xchat05:48
kahrytanHobbsee,  It's not in the gnome menu.05:49
kahrytanHobbsee,  or did they different name then Xchat Gnome?05:49
VoidedCheckkahrytan, I think he (?) meant in repositories05:49
DistroJockeykahrytan: Pidgin works for me (didn't like xchat much)05:49
Hobbseekahrytan: oh, that's right.  htey've gone to pidgin now :(05:49
kahrytanVoidedCheck,  I mean installed05:49
Hobbseewhich has irc05:49
VoidedCheckwell, it isn't05:49
kahrytanPidgin is worset client to use for irc, imho05:50
VoidedCheckand pidgin sucks ass05:50
VoidedCheckI prefer dedicated clients05:50
DistroJockey:(05:50
naliothlet us be civil05:50
dmsupermanfor IRC, pidgin does a half decent job. XChat is very certainly better (as is mIRC in windows) but if you don't feel like getting another app just for a quick fix (livecd for example) then it does the job05:50
VoidedCheckit's not a matter of civility, pidgin is awkward and a waste of time05:50
bullgard4After upgrading, Hardy shows the letters in the GNOME terminal blurred. But the letters of GNOME menu items and Tracker Search are crisp. How to explain this?  My guess is that the GNOME terminal takes a wrong dpi value (96 dpi instead of actually needed 85) and displays the letters using anti-aliasing.05:50
VoidedCheckbecause it's multiprotocol05:51
kahrytanPidgin is best client for Instant Msger services05:51
VoidedChecksuch as?05:51
penis there a solution to my audacious problem?05:51
kahrytanAOL IM for Linux really does suck.05:51
dmsupermanall of them...05:51
crimsunbullgard4: are you sure it's not because they're different fonts?05:51
dmsupermanAIM, YIM, MSNM05:51
VoidedCheckall?05:51
dmsupermanthe majors05:51
VoidedCheckIRC for Pidgin sucks BADLY05:51
dmsupermanread my above statement05:51
VoidedCheckand here I am, on IRC05:51
DanaGIRCHelper helps.05:52
dmsupermanIRC isn't instant messenger as well05:52
VoidedCheckit's not through Pidgin, I tell you05:52
crimsunbullgard4: i.e., Sans vice Monospace?  (both Deja Vu ...)05:52
bullgard4crimsun: I have set different fonts. The effect remains the same.05:52
kahrytanHobbsee,  I take you that you dont like the switch either?05:52
=== macd_ is now known as macd
crimsunbullgard4: are you using "Best shapes" or "Subpixel smoothing (LCDs)"?05:52
VoidedCheckbasically, the only protocol I run for IM is IRC05:53
Hobbseekahrytan: not really, but i do understand about limited cd size, too.05:53
VoidedCheckI guess that's just me05:53
VoidedCheckbut here I am05:53
bullgard4crimsun: Monochrome.05:53
dmsupermanI don't really count IRC as IM, I tend to think of AIM / YIM / MSNM as the IM clients, whereas IRC is more a chat type protocol05:53
kahrytanHobbsee,  Before long, DVD might be required. And most modern pcs  have them.  Older pcs barely boot live desktop now anyways05:54
VoidedCheckit's a real-time, text-based chat client.05:54
VoidedCheckif that isn't an IM what is?05:54
wastrelAIM05:54
crimsunbullgard4: did you happen across http://johan.kiviniemi.name/blag/2008/01/12/ubuntu-hardy-fonts/ ?05:54
VoidedCheckICQ?05:54
DistroJockeyso what's wrong with Pidgin then VoidedCheck?05:54
dmsupermanThe typical IM tends to be more 1 on 1 instant messaging between 2 people05:54
wastreldo people still use that?05:54
Hobbseekahrytan: i'd suggest you check the ubuntu-devel mailing lists, as that issue has been extensively discussed already.  it also won't change for this release.05:54
VoidedCheckit doesn't give you an intuitive interface to a CLI05:55
dmsupermanwastrel, I honestly haven't ever met anyone that uses it haha05:55
VoidedCheckif that makes any sense05:55
DistroJockeyVoidedCheck: fair comment05:55
VoidedCheckthat's why I'm using xchat05:55
wastrelxchat is good05:55
dmsupermanI can agree with you there, but it wasn't really designed for CLI05:55
x1250I use konversation05:55
kahrytanHobbsee,  Nor do i expect it. Though, It will probably come to that05:56
dmsupermanVoidedCheck, does XChat have a commandline interface?05:56
dmsupermanVoidedCheck, I like to just use irssi for cli irc05:56
VoidedCheckdmsuperman, hen it shouldn't try to interface IRC, which is entirely CLI05:56
bullgard4crimsun: What is meant by the phrase "to happen across"? Please say it in other words.05:57
Dr_willisi recall some xchat console tool ages ago.. but i think it got discontined05:57
VoidedCheckyes, I'm typing in a cli right now, I can load scripts, jump channels, connect sercers, right from this interface05:57
VoidedCheck*servers05:57
DanaGCD is better:05:57
dmsupermanVoidedCheck, So because IRC is based mostly on text based commands pidgin should just entirely ignore that community? Nobody is forcing you to use it for IRC, and to hardcore bash it for seemingly no reason really helps nobody05:57
DanaGCheaper.  Faster to download.  Faster to burn.05:57
VoidedCheckirssi is ugly  :P05:57
Dr_willis "to happen across" --> to find at random.,05:57
DanaGCD burners are also more prevalent than DVD burners.05:57
XceIIHEY!..Whats up with X?,, i just loaded this 2wice, and when (in my final stages) of setting x right, it reverts to 640, im waiting, what a bunch of waisted time and man power to download a bunch of crap, im disappointment.05:57
DanaGtwowice?05:58
VoidedCheckbut I like the ability of irssi for running on a terminal05:58
VoidedCheckw/o X05:58
dmsupermanDanaG, not really lately, any PC that they sell as a bundle has DVD burning05:58
DanaG"as a bundle"05:58
DanaGStill, it'd unnecessarily restrict the market.05:58
dmsupermanVoidedCheck, agreed, I like to SSH home and irssi to chat, so I don't have to bother with redownloading and configuring a client for every computer I'm on (my school literally has hundreds, so i can't hope to just set it up a few times)05:58
XceIII have a feeling ubunru has been bought off.05:59
XceIIubuntu*06:00
dmsupermanXceII, what makes you say that?06:00
VoidedCheckyeah, SSH is a godsend in this respect, the platform doesn't matter.  I use vnc clients and servers myself, but there's always a loss when you rely on a GUI.06:00
XceII HEY!..Whats up with X?,, i just loaded this 2wice, and when (in my final stages) of setting x right, it reverts to 640, im waiting, what a bunch of waisted time and man power to download a bunch of crap, am disappointment.06:00
dmsupermanVoidedCheck, I have cable, so GUI just runs so incredibly slow (I get _terrible_ upload speeds) so it's really not an option06:00
wastrelyeah we heard you the first time06:00
VoidedCheckouch06:01
VoidedCheckthank my lucky stars for my true DSL conn06:01
dmsupermanVoidedCheck, plus most of the things I ever do remotely are easier with cli06:01
VoidedCheckdamn straight06:01
crimsunbullgard4: roughly, "have you read and made any of the changes mentioned on that page?"06:01
dmsupermanVoidedCheck, it's usually just making some changes to apache or some other sys config06:01
XceIIya ouch, what a unch of garbage, this sure isnt making things look rosey, unless the rose is in the future, u decide06:01
VoidedCheckit's always as easy as editing a text file06:02
dmsupermanVoidedCheck, that's certainly not to say the GUI isn't helpful, for things like text editing I always certainly prefer to have a mouse and gui in front of me06:02
VoidedCheckthat's why I love linux06:02
DanaGMy top reasons for using Linux:06:02
VoidedCheckit works06:02
DanaGAwesome features on touchpad, and great font rendering.06:02
VoidedCheck:P06:02
dmsupermanVoidedCheck, and Ubuntu particularly, for noobs like me who don't always know how to edit the config file, there's usually a gui that you either have or can get to edit it for you :D06:02
DanaG2wice?  twowice?06:02
Dr_willisDanaG,  gee.. normally people say  the font rendering is bad on X/Linux06:03
XceIIlinux is great, but these cats are making things awful hard, for  example, nothing matches, u fogure it out,06:03
VoidedCheckthough that is true, the cli and editing text files isn't as bad as nay-sayers would let you believe06:03
bullgard4crimsun: No, I have not yet read the article which you are mentioning. Thank you very much for bringing it to my attention. I am going to study it now. --  Thank you.06:03
HobbseeXceII: you could try being helpful, instead of just sayign "it sucks".06:03
VoidedCheckit's simple ladder logic06:03
dmsupermanSo who uses the Dynamic option for loading music from last.fm in Exaile (based on your currently playing song)?06:03
DanaGI have it set to subpixel rendering.06:03
VoidedCheckif your brain works, so does linux06:03
DanaGI can't stand Windows Cleartype.06:03
x1250I like font rendering too.06:03
XceIIHobbsee:  im trying, but in the obvious previous events id say itlooks pretty bleek,06:04
dmsupermanVoidedCheck, sure, i'm no stranger to it and get my fair share of info, but sometimes I just don't get enough of the big picture (i'm a recent linux switcher) to know what i'm actually changing overall06:04
Dr_willisi tend to set up large fonts :) so i dont really notice  the diferances much06:04
VoidedCheckdmsuperman, then don't change it until you understand it.06:04
HobbseeXceII: X works for me.  i've yet to see you give any indication of what's wrong, beyond the resolution, or what HW you're running.06:04
x1250Dr_willis: large as?06:04
Dr_willisx1250,  about 1/2 inch tall letters :)06:05
XceIIshould it matter?06:05
Dr_willisor taller. :)06:05
dmsupermanVoidedCheck, but then how can one learn without playing? =) =P06:05
HobbseeXceII: if you're going to be here and contribute, at least be useful and provide that sort of info, if you want a reply.06:05
x1250:)06:05
DistroJockeyXceII: did you upgrade or a clean install?06:05
Dr_williswife has her fonts set about an inch tall.06:05
VoidedCheckby breaking it!  :D  :D06:05
XceIIboth06:05
VoidedCheckANARCHY!!!06:05
HobbseeXceII: if you want to actually see it fixed, then yes, probably.06:05
kahrytanHow much Python does ubuntu use?06:05
Hobbseekahrytan: a lot06:05
x1250kahrytan: a fair share06:06
kahrytanHobbsee,  Good. I want to learn it.06:06
VoidedCheckw/o playing is not what what I was saying btw06:06
VoidedCheckbut common sense, while not that common, is still common06:06
x1250kahrytan: "ubuntu" uses is too generic though. There are some programs, and some shell scripts that use python...06:06
VoidedCheckponder on that if you will06:06
Micrllhello all06:06
x1250"ubuntu uses", I mean06:06
x1250python is a nice language to learn...06:07
DanaGOh yeah, one important thing for good font rendering:06:07
Dr_willis Python - is gettting used all over the place. :)06:07
VoidedCheckit's one of the easiest06:07
kahrytanx1250,  Ubuntu uses certain software to make it what it is now. That software could be python based.06:07
DanaGMake sure DPI is set correctly!  Don't just blindly set it to 96!06:07
VoidedCheckbut I'd recommend learning a "harder" language first06:07
DanaGIf the fonts are too small, increase font sizes, don't decrease DPI settings.06:07
VoidedCheckjust to give you a taste of reality06:07
Micrllwhat is the best way of checking the DPI06:07
MicrllI like fonts much larger than most people06:08
XceIIHobbsee:  you and Dr_willis are nothing but show offs, always ending your statements with the term (I think), this is a tech channel, go other places to show off your plastic talent, while others look for concrete answers, sorry to the channel for my anger, it was ove due.06:08
kahrytanVoidedCheck,  I know...knew... used to know Perl.06:08
DanaGhttp://members.ping.de/~sven/dpi.html06:08
dmsupermanPHP ftw06:08
crimsunHobbsee: show-off!  :-)p06:08
kahrytandmsuperman, I was the reluctant type to switch to php.06:08
VoidedChecklol php06:09
dmsupermanVoidedCheck, PHP4, agreed06:09
wastrelwell that one was mostly spelled correctly06:09
dmsupermanVoidedCheck, but 5 has made some strong steps, and 6 is going to be a good product06:09
VoidedCheckI'm laughing out my ass btw, I don't know the first thing about php06:09
dmsupermanhaha06:09
dmsupermandon't worry06:10
kahrytanVoidedCheck, Do you think Perl is dying?06:10
dmsupermanmost people do the same thing06:10
dmsupermankahrytan, hardly06:10
Micrlloh and also, I will report that I am now running from Hardy RC, insted of windows06:10
VoidedCheckruby is burying it in the sand06:10
dmsupermankahrytan, but PHP certainly is gaining06:10
x1250I like php also06:10
kahrytandmsuperman, I use sites mostly using php now.06:10
VoidedCheckagain, I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about06:10
dmsupermanmeh, i don't want to bother learning another language. I've heard some decent stories about it, but that overall it really lacks in power06:10
Hobbsee!language | VoidedCheck06:10

dmsupermanMySQLi is so awesome06:11
MicrllI was going to say that sounded like a bots response06:11
DanaGWoah, compare /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/background.png to /usr/share/gdm/themes/HumanList/background.png06:11
kahrytandmsuperman,  I hate learning oop.06:11
dmsupermankahrytan, you a single developer?06:11
Micrllthey have us learn java at my university06:12

kahrytanOOP is complicated.06:12
dmsupermankahrytan, do you program php alone?06:12
Micrlloh is there a offftopic chat?06:12
kahrytanI saw that coming a mile away.06:12
Hobbseewhy on *two* channels must he try to be a pain?06:12
wastrelMicrll: #ubuntu-offtopic06:12
dmsupermanyeh...thinking about it this is hardly herron talk06:13
dmsupermankahrytan, are you in -offtopic?06:13
kahrytandmsuperman,  never started. Looking into learning it more. used to do small time stuff in Perl. never oops.06:13
kahrytanOOP*06:13
Micrllstrange I cant get the offtopic section working06:13
dmsupermankahrytan, so you don't program PHP at all?06:14
kahrytanNope06:14
x1250kahrytan: its not complicated at all. Anyway when I started to learn OOP I really didn't get it until I started to code some classes and read some good designed opensource/propietarty programs.06:14
dmsupermankahrytan, ah. If you ever get a job programming, you'll very much definitely appreciate OOP06:14
kahrytandmsuperman,  thought OOP i read was perl modules.06:15
dmsupermanif you're making something completely alone, then OOP is hardly useful06:15
Micrllnow see, I first learned programming in java06:15
Micrllso I am more of a OOP06:15
wastrelperl oop is difficult06:15
kahrytanwastrel,  thank you06:15
dmsupermankahrytan, It's all pretty similar. I'm learning C# right now, and once I learned the syntax differences I pretty much got the whole thing06:15
x1250dmsuperman: why do you say that? I code completely alone, and is very helpfull.06:16
dmsupermanx1250, like I said, hardly. There are some instances where it helps (for example modularizing code) but overall since you're the only one managing the code it just adds extra work06:16
kahrytanIt's probably been 5+ years since I did anything in perl.06:16
dmsupermanx1250, I write my own code with OOP so that later on I can come back to it and don't have to remember what I'm doing, or to allow others to get into my code, but I'm just one of those rare programmers who is really anal about their code06:17
MicrllI like OOP, but again thats what I started with06:18
kahrytandmsuperman,  OSS programmers must both you somewhat?06:18
kahrytan*bother06:18
x1250I code a lot of OOP, in python and php.06:18
* icanhas wonder's what channel he's in06:18
dmsupermankahrytan, certainly not, much of what I code is for the community06:19
kahrytanoh..06:19
dmsupermankahrytan, I don't care what people do with my code to be honest, but when I'm writing it if there's even like extra spaces or anything that's not completely formed well (even indentation is a big issue) I get all freaked out06:20
crdlbfind somewhere else to chat please06:20
kahrytandmsuperman,  You write pretty code?06:20
x1250I'm that kind of guy too, pretty coder06:20
dmsupermankahrytan, join #ubuntu-offtopic, so we don't get yelled at ;)06:21

markgreenedmsuperman, Where can I start debugging the issue? From 7.10 I go to "Places->Network->Windows Network" and then I click the computer on my network and then the shared folder I want to access. On 8.04, I get a blank screen after clicking Windows Network with "smb:///" in the address bar06:24

Dr_willis;)06:43
Micrllthe df -h command, the amount reported does not really match the drive size06:43
Micrllthere seems to be about 10gb missing06:43
Dr_willisa % is reserved for root/lost+found usage. and theres rounding.. and then theres how the companies defind gb. vs how it should be defined. :)06:44
Micrllah ok06:44
Micrllits a 80gb drive06:44
DistroJockey5% reserved by default06:44
Micrllbefore I installed hardy, windows reported a 74gb size06:44
x1250marketing uses 1 byte = 1000 bits. Maybe thats the thing. It should be 1 byte = 1024 bits.06:45
icanhashtop is hot. maybe that's what the h is for06:45
Black_MagicDr_willis: You know anything about  servers?06:45
x1250maybe there are the 10gb?06:45
Micrllnope06:45
Black_Magicwell my servers used to work but something happend and i cant load my own server with my IP06:45
Dr_willisBlack_Magic,  i know that i see a LOT of people in #ubuntu installing the 'server edition' when they dont even know shell basics.. :) and ive yet to figure out WHY they do so.06:45

icanhasDanaG: , I told you Ganad07:22
DistroJockeyicanhas: I've seen 200GB drive formated as FAT07:22
DanaGWhen I play HL2DM, people seem to think the name is pronounced "dannagg"07:22
icanhasDistroJockey: yeah but it sucks lol07:22
Black_MagicvFat really but linux showed it as fat3207:22
bicyclistMDFrostT One hint, try using wicd instead, it helped for me and i find it better thna networkmanager07:22
DistroJockeyicanhas: maybe :)07:23
icanhasaDNGa :D07:23
DanaGOr they'll just call me "Dang"07:23
DistroJockeyanaGrameD07:23
icanhasaGNDa :D it's almost like Agenda!07:23

icanhasthere, call yourself Agenda, it's perfect.07:23

DanaGif I could use tildes, I'd be DanaGo~1  (8.3 version of the folder name I was given when I was in high school)07:23
icanhaslol nice07:24
fatejudgerSo what's going on with flash in hardy now? They removed the libflashsupport package to fix the stability issue, and now it seems that flash hijacks my sound device so that no other program can output sound. Is this a known problem?07:24
Black_Magichere is the grep USB thing http://pastebin.com/f766d2c8d07:24
calciirc vfat just implies long filenames07:25
calcie you can vfat on fat1607:25
calcat least iirc07:25
icanhascalc: that's pretty accurate07:25
fatejudgeris there any way to force flash to output to pulseaudio?07:26
Black_Magicuhm can i see a picture of this thing your talking about to rig this longer uSB cord?07:26

* Black_Magic unplugs everything USB07:27
Black_Magichave a feeling you where going to have me do it anyways07:27
DistroJockeyyup :)07:27
icanhasBlack_Magic: hm.. were ALL those times in dmesg you unplugging/plugging, or was it doing that itself? I'm thinking it's a power issue still07:28

Black_Magicunplugging/plugging07:28
murlidharBlack_Magic, http://www.lifehacker.com.au/tips/clever_uses/07:28
Dr_willisI had issues with a usb drive unplugging/plugging itself in.. due to a loose usb conector once.07:28
Black_Magicyep deffinantly got one of those07:29
Black_Magicnever use it anyways...07:29
Black_Magichow will that help?07:30
icanhasBlack_Magic: It could be a USB 2.0 problem. If your drive is 1.1 and it's connected to a 2.0 hub, timing might be too far off to actually sync up with the drive07:30
Black_Magicits USB 2.007:30
murlidharBlack_Magic, i thought u were uncomfortable with the long cords , if u are watch i first video07:30
murlidharwatch the first video07:31
icanhashm07:31
Black_Magicno i said i think it was the problem with the longer cord07:31
DanaGDamnit, that killed Firefox.07:31
Black_Magicits 6ft and the original is 18in07:31
Black_Magicor it could be the type of cord...07:31
icanhasthat's really odd07:32
Dr_willisi got like a 15 ft usb cord. :)07:33
murlidhar:007:33

icanhasmurlidhar: hm, did you originally compile it from source?07:49

icanhassparr: well that's not the WM's job ;)08:44
ethana2I think there should be two layers08:44
gnub_daemonhmmm...how might I go about allowing myself to connect to SQL?08:44
DanaGTry installing rss-glx and running solarwinds with no parameters.08:45
DanaGThat's exactly how gnome-screensaver runs it.08:45
sparricanhas: and yet, the people who design all the OTHER software assume that it is08:45
RAOFDanaG: So it's not so much that they were removed, but that no one has written a new settings editor (it'd be quite easy).08:45
alex_mayorgaI for one have subscribed to https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/2200708:45

sparricanhas: try convincing the gdm developers that it's the session manager's job to store non-session'd startup programs08:45
icanhassparr: well it is, imho08:46
icanhasgdm needs to have a 'sub session manager' or something08:46

xtknightwhy not?08:50
xtknightit just detects progs that wakeup the cpu i hink08:50
Riskbreakeralright... what am i looking at here08:50
xtknightand gives you possible optimizations08:50
sparrbecause its an intel program that only, as of the last time i checked, worked on certain mobile intel CPUs?08:50
RAOFOh, yay!  Someone has started to actually _write_ a screensaver settings editor, rather than simply bitching about it!08:50

xtknightRiskbreaker, i dont know too much about powertop, but it should lead you in the right direction08:51
Riskbreakertop causes for wakeups08:51
Zoempaynito: what locale is that supposed to be?08:51
Riskbreakerps/2 keyboard/mouse/touchpad08:51
Riskbreakerfollowed by "Extra timer interrupt"08:51
Riskbreakernow i think i know what's going on08:52
xtknightsparr, it can not get "detailed C-state information" for amd cpus08:52
xtknightbut works otherwise08:52
paynitoduring install it kept saying it couldn't download En:Au and would default to C08:52
sparrRiskbreaker: do you have any ps/2 devices attached?  monitoring those interrupts is a horrible waste of cpu time08:52
xtknightactually my intel core  2 cant get the c-state stuff either08:52
Riskbreakerthere is a problem with my laptop. i dont know how to fix it, actually. it's convinced i'm pushing an unnamed key on the keyboard at all times08:52
sparrheh, yeah, that might do it  :)08:52
Riskbreakeri looked at some stuff on the intarwebs using google08:53
sparrelaborate on "unnamed"08:53
Riskbreakerthey suggested updating my bios, which i did, and it didn't solve the problem08:53
Riskbreakerwell, observe my dmesg outpout08:53
xtknightwhat;s your ps2 keyboard entry say08:53
xtknightmine is like 0.1% on this pc08:53

DanaGAnd see how bad it is with no parameters.08:54
kahrytanAnyone know how to remove the oh-so-annoying live search in ff3 url box?08:54

xtknightRiskbreaker, do you know if you're using a cpufreq governor..ok ill put that in english if youd like09:31
Riskbreakerpowernowd i think.09:31
RAOFDanaG: Thinking about it, even without the configuration you raise a valid point; it's a bug that our screensavers have bad defaults.  We should fix that for Intrepid (and work with that guy to make his configuration editor useful).09:31
xtknightyeah09:31
xtknightRiskbreaker, do you know if it's actually throttling your cpu at all?09:32
xtknightcat /proc/cpuinfo  for instance09:32
DanaGI'll submit a bug for rss-glx, with a diff for the config file.09:32
Riskbreakercpufreq applet on the panel says so, yeah09:32
DanaGDefault to 60, and add a spinbox.09:32
RAOFDanaG: Well, we won't add the spinbox (without the config editor thingy), but defaulting to 60 is much much better than 'as fast as possible'.09:33
DanaGAnd enable nice.09:33
xtknightRiskbreaker, looks like for any further improvement you will have to recompile your kernel with the 'force HPET' patch and even then no guarantee anything will be better with the "extra timer interrupts".  what % is that vs the keyboard interrupts?09:33
Riskbreakerxtknight: it varies09:33
Riskbreakerquickly09:33
Riskbreakerevery number i gave you was a ballpark figure09:33
xtknightread the keyboard one only when ur not typing eles itill be inaccurate09:33
xtknightlike just let it stabilize09:33
DanaGAnother useful thing would be to have screensaver thingy set sync-to-vblank for nvidia.09:33
xtknightunless it's constantly fluctuating09:33
xtknighteven when you're idle09:34
DanaGFPS limit at 60 doesn't guarantee lack of tearing.09:34
DanaGOh, and try solarwinds with Jiggly preset.  It's actually a health risk.09:34
RAOFDanaG: Quite true.  Do the hacks offer a --sync-to-vblank option?09:34
DanaGIt's both nauseating AND seizure-inducing at the same time.09:34
mcp_Hi. The new CPU-usage graph is really nice looking, but also useless to me. When my system is idele, ive got 15% cpu-load @800mhz. As soon i switch to the cpu-load-graph, load goes up to 100% @2000mhz. Is this common behavior?09:34
DanaGNope; just the nvidia variable.  :(09:34
xtknightvsync should just be in screens&graphics properties09:35
Riskbreakeryeah you're right, the keyboard/mouse stuff goes away if i dont do anything.09:35
xtknightor screen res whatever they call it now :)09:35
Riskbreakerbut im getting 200 wakeups per second for extra timer interrupts09:35
xtknightRiskbreaker, well then maybe it is not a problem?09:35
gabbsCan someone tell me how to get rid of avahi? Its pre-occupying my ath0 interface (ath0:avahi) so it won't connect to my router on boot09:35
RAOFDanaG: Right, so fixing that would be to patch the hacks to use the ask for vsync.09:35
xtknightat least the kb09:35
DanaGIt's both nauseating AND seizure-inducing at the same time. -- wow, that's quite an achievement.09:35
DanaGSure, it's easy enough to be one or the other.... but both?  Wow.09:35
xtknightRiskbreaker, yeah the extra timers you're pretty much screwed unless you can find out how to enalbe HPET on your laptop09:36
RAOFmcp_: Common behaviour for people with bad drivers*, yes. * - ie: nearly everyone.09:36

DanaGI think I'll file a bug on those bad defaults some time, unless you get to it first.09:36
xtknightRiskbreaker, seems to be a lot of results with inspiron 1501 and hpet09:36
xtknightpositive results i dunno tho09:36
DanaGFlux looks most "tame" with the Regular preset.09:36
RAOFDanaG: I'm off to make dinner, so you'll probably beat me too it.09:37
RAOFs/too/to/.09:37
xtknightRiskbreaker,  supposedly there's a bios option for HPET.09:37
DanaGEeh, going to bed now.09:37
Riskbreakera bios option...09:37
DanaGAnd have to study for a Monday exam, tomorrow.09:37
Riskbreakerso should i be enabling it or disabling it?09:37
xtknightRiskbreaker, try enabling it09:37
DanaG(move 'tomorrow' 4 words leftward)09:37
Riskbreakerbrb09:37
DanaGGood night.09:37
WaSrDthoughts why add/remove keeps freezing?09:38
DanaGSun Apr 20 01:38:27 PDT 200809:38
DanaGyeah, bed.09:38
LynoureWaSrD: Synaptic or Adept?09:38
DistroJockeynight DanaG again!09:38
DistroJockey:p09:38
WaSrDnot synaptic09:38
mcp_RAOF, sad news actually. Especially because i really like the redisinged the resources-tab. Thanks for your reply09:39
WaSrDjust the normal off menu09:39
xtknightmcp_, you just need to install your video drivers.  goto system->admin->hardware drivers09:39
mcp_xtknight, ive the nvidia-drivers installed09:39
xtknightand they are loaded?09:40
LynoureWaSrD: oh, Synaptic then, Adept in KDE is actually called Adept in the menus too. Sorry, cannot help you then.09:40
RAOFmcp_: Yeah, the nvidia drivers really really suck at Cairo acceleratioo.09:40
xtknighti have nvidia drivers and no problem wit hit09:40
xtknightjust looking at cpu load graph/09:40
Riskbreakeromigod09:40
Riskbreakeri'm so stupid09:40
Riskbreakerwe've been talking about HPET for a while now huh09:40
Riskbreakerand we mentioned it stood for "high precision event timer"09:40
WaSrDok...thanks.09:41
xtknightmaybe?09:41
Riskbreakerand i'm sitting here like... i've heard this phrase before... where did i hear it before09:41
RAOFxtknight: It may depend on what GPU you've got.09:41
Riskbreakerwell i looked it up on wikipedia and saw that's what it stood for. anyway, i had heard the phrase before but couldnt remember where09:41
Riskbreakeryeah it was a bios option lololollolol09:41
xtknighti hear gf8 is bad at 2d accel09:41
xtknightah so did hpet help09:41
Riskbreakermy lappy is all quiet now, but still hot, which isn't that surprising at the moment09:41
mcp_xtknight, did you install your nvidia driver with the restricted-driver manager? Or some other driver version?09:42
RAOFxtknight: For me, with a 7600go, the cpu graphs eat up approximately one core, and go jerk. slide... slide... jerk!09:42
xtknightwell first let's see if it's even on09:42
Riskbreakerbut it is cooling down09:42
xtknightmcp_, restricted09:42
Riskbreakerlet me check powertop09:42
xtknightcat  cat /proc/timer_list |grep -i hpet09:42
xtknighter09:42
xtknightcat /proc/timer_list |grep -i hpet09:42
xtknightRAOF, weird09:42
xtknightRAOF, oh it depends how big u make the graph09:42
RiskbreakerClock Event Device: hpet09:42
Riskbreaker set_next_event: hpet_legacy_next_event09:42
Riskbreaker set_mode:       hpet_legacy_set_mode09:42
RAOFYup, that too.09:42
xtknightit's horrible if i make it bigger09:42
xtknightRiskbreaker, well at least we enabled it09:43
xtknightRiskbreaker, does powertop mention extra interrupts now?09:43
Riskbreakeryes unfortunately09:43
RAOFmcp_: So, in short, (probably) blame nvidia :).  The nouveau drivers render that graph nice and smoothly with minimal CPU usage :P09:44
Riskbreakerand the keyboard entries still showing up in dmesg09:44
xtknightwill gobuntu ever include nouveau?09:44
xtknightfor 8.0409:44
xtknightseems .. expedient09:44
xtknightRiskbreaker, yeah keyboard is normal . but that wont be happening during idling.09:45
mcp_RAOF, do you use the nouveau drivers? Are they already capable of some 3d acceleration (i really need tremouous support)?09:45
xtknighttremendous?  tremulus? either way prolly not ;)09:46
Riskbreakerthis is pretty frustrating.09:46
RAOFmcp_: They _might_ run tremulous.09:47
mcp_tremulous was what i tried to type09:47
popeyxtknight: there is a lot of discsussion about the future of gobuntu at the moment09:47
xtknightmcp_, nouveau wouldnt support it now09:47
xtknightit's very alpha for 3d09:47
Riskbreakeri think it has a lot to do with my laptop and its bios issues. so i wont take up any more of your time09:47
RAOFmcp_: The 3d support varies widely from card to card, and you shouldn't _expect_ it to work.09:48
xtknightRiskbreaker, yeah well i enjoy debugging that stuff :p09:48
RAOFmcp_: But on my card, it runs ppracer, openarena, neverball just fine.09:48
xtknightwell the 3d support still causes out of memory right until they use gallium3d?09:48
RAOFxtknight: Oh.  The non-galluim3d never really worked, and is totally abandoned.09:49
mcp_openarena should be pretty much the same than tremulous. I think ill try the novou drivers09:49
xtknightyeah i just wish nouveau would start consistently on my system.. grr.09:49
xtknightit did work for a while09:49
Riskbreakerwell if i make any more progress i'll be sure to come back and let you know09:49
RAOF!nouveau | mcp_09:49
ubotumcp_: Nouveau is an experimental open-source nVidia driver, aiming for full 3d support.  Homepage at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/ - EXPERIMENTAL packages at https://launchpad.net/~raof/+archive09:49
xtknightRiskbreaker, cool.  good luck09:50
RAOFmcp_: Also, that won't do 3d; you need to grab the gallium-0.1 branch from the nouveau/mesa git repository on freedesktop.org.09:50
Riskbreakerhey xtknight09:51
Riskbreakerpowertop... it's telling me something09:51
RAOFmcp_: Don't expect anyone in #nouveau to care if tremulous doesn't work - the 3d is known incomplete and they don't want bug reports yet.09:51
xtknightyeah?09:51
Riskbreakersuggesting that i use SATA power link management or something09:51
xtknightRiskbreaker, oh yeah there are a lot of suggestions, i mean you can try 'em all if you want09:52
RAOFmcp_: On the other hand, _do_ care if it doesn't work for 2d.  They care very much if the randr12 codepath doesn't bring up your screen(s).09:52
xtknighti dont think any are particularly dangerous09:52
RAOFmcp_: Because that code will be enabled by default soon, and then head into the kernel.09:52
xtknightnouveau is heading into kernel tree you mean?09:53
Perundoes hardy has a xen kernel?09:53
RAOFxtknight: No, the modesetting code is heading into the kernel tree.09:53
xtknight!info linux-image-xen | Perun09:54
ubotuperun: linux-image-xen (source: linux-meta): Xen Linux kernel image. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6.24.16.18 (hardy), package size 25 kB, installed size 52 kB09:54
Perunoh ok09:54
RAOFxtknight: Or, rather, the modesetting is heading to libdrm, which will be merged into the kernel tree.09:54
xtknightRAOF, ah so like resolution changing and primitive 2d stuff but not a whole video driver?09:55
Perunwhats better, new install or upgrade gutsy->hardy?09:55
xtknightPerun, new install09:55
Perunwhy?09:55
ZoemPerun09:55
xtknightupgrades can cause package problems and disagreements09:55
ZoemI ran upgrade->hardy09:55
Perunaha ok09:55
xtknightor unveil bugs09:55
RAOFxtknight: Not even primitive 2d stuff.  Just resolution changing, IIUC.09:55
Zoemand with the multiple updates... half my packages got borked09:55
Zoemso I fresh installed09:55
Zoemand it runs beautiful09:56
xtknightRAOF, well so right now drivers like "nv" that are in linux-image, what is in them vs. the xorg .so file?09:56
kahrytanCan someone tell me where libc-2.1 is in repos?09:56
RAOFPerun: Depends, basically.  New install should definately work.  Upgrades are supported, though, so it should also work.  It probably depends on how much time you have.09:56
kahrytanglibc-2.109:56
xtknightkahrytan, ubuntu has glibc 2.709:56
xtknightsure you need older one?09:57
kahrytanxtknight->  Yeah but game requires 2.109:57
xtknightoh i thought that stuff was supposed to be backwards compatible09:57
xtknighthmm09:57
RAOFxtknight: Aaah, that'd be a framebuffer driver.  There's also various *dri*.ko objects, which the mesa drivers use to talk to the hardware; this is where the modesetting will go.09:57
kahrytanxtknight->  Enemy Terroritory09:57
RAOFxtknight: There are also plans for a nouveau framebuffer driver.  Someday :)09:58
xtknightkahrytan, oh ET definitely should run fine09:58
paynitoErrors were encountered while processing:09:58
paynitoxfonts-scalable09:58
paynitoE:Subprocess /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)09:58
xtknightkahrytan, just ignore it09:58
kahrytanxtknight->  Nope.09:58
kahrytanxtknight->  wont install09:58
xtknightkahrytan, aint believing that... it must be something else09:58
xtknightare you running 64bit?09:58
xtknightRAOF, so without the framebuffer dont the TTYs not work?09:58
AlexC_hey all09:58
xtknightor hmmm09:59
Zoempaynito: that is bad09:59
paynitohey AlexC09:59
paynitoreally?09:59
Black_MagicHello09:59
AlexC_with Hardy, is it possible to rename my other mounted EXT3 hard drives/partitions? With Gutsy I could rename them to like 'web_dev', 'storage' etc, but now they are stuck on just '106.4 GB Media'09:59
xtknightobviously my TTYs worked when i used nouveau 2d but i dont know, it must be using a vesa fb or something?09:59
AlexC_kinda hard to remember which one is which just by the size of it09:59
kahrytanxtknight-> It is having problems loading libgtk-1.2.so.010:00
Dr_willisAlexC_,  ive right clicked ->properties (i think) and under gnome i could change their names.10:00
xtknightkahrytan, what are you running it with10:00
xtknightkahrytan, type uname -a10:00
Zoempaynito: I dunno how bad that is, just bad10:00
kahrytanoh wait.... liibgtk1-2 isi n repo10:00
RAOFxtknight: No, that's not right.  You'll still have ttys, but with a framebuffer driver you can have 1680x1500 TTYs :)10:00
Zoempaynito: try rebooting again10:00
paynitorebooting now10:00
xtknightRAOF, oh dont think my video card supports those :(10:00
AlexC_Dr_willis, that is what I did in Gusty, however with Hardy I can only change things like Mount Point, Mount Options etc10:01
kahrytanxtknight->  huh what!? It's an installer10:01
xtknightkahrytan, uname -a10:01
xtknightjust need reuslts of that command10:01
RAOFxtknight: It does, or rather, it could.  As long as it's got enough VRAM :)10:01
xtknightRAOF, it doens't have to bein the fb modes list?  i looked before and hadn't seen it10:01
kahrytanxtknight->  no need. Libgtk-1.2 deb fixed it10:01
xtknightman that guy really was against giving me his uname -a10:02
xtknightprolly installed some deb from sarge or something10:02
Black_Magic:/10:02
xtknightand rammed it in lib10:02
xtknightoh well10:02
RAOFxtknight: That's because you don't have a proper framebuffer driver, and will be using the vesa one :)10:02
xtknightRAOF, nvidiafb?10:02
xtknightnot that i expect that to be good10:03
paynitostill boxes everywhere after reboot10:03
RAOFxtknight: Maybe?  Dunno.  It'll break nouveau (and nvidia, I think), though.10:03
xtknightpaynito, did you upgrade from gutsy?10:03
Zoem...10:03
xtknighti mean like dist-upgrade10:03

paynitook, trying that now10:06
alex_mayorgaxtknight, shall I accept all powertop "advice"?10:06
xtknightalex_mayorga, you should probably be able to make an informed decision based on the descriptions it gives you10:06
Dr_willisI noticed on my laptop some powertop advice. was not doable.. :) it wasned me to enable some features that dident exist on the kernel..10:06
xtknighti'd say go ahead i havent seen it marquee anything deadly by me10:06
paynitocouldn't find package libpango10:06

alex_mayorgalame10:08
AlexC_with Hardy, is it possible to rename my other mounted EXT3 hard drives/partitions? With Gutsy I could rename them to like 'web_dev', 'storage' etc, but now they are stuck on just '106.4 GB Media' - kinda hard to remember what each is just by it's size10:08
xtknighttruly10:08
dekelaok so here is goes: I open an avi file with (totem/mplayer) and it loads without an error, but dosent play, when I move the slider I see the movie frames but it dosent play10:08

AlexC_Black_Magic, by Label do you mean give it a name, instead of just having to remember what it is by the size?10:10
AlexC_yeah, just checking ^^10:10
xtknighttune2fs gives it a filesystem label10:10
Black_MagicAlexC_: yea10:10
xtknightbut wouldnt be picked up by hal i tink10:10

kahrytaneric-> and where you can buy real estate for dirt cheap10:28
erickahrytan, very true lol10:28
orvokkiHow cheap is dirt cheap?10:28

ericI know it's weird10:31
kahrytanAnyone know how to reset mount options in nautilus?10:31
ericeverything else s working pefect10:31
ericI didn't know nautilus has seperate mount points.  I thought it was all done by the fstab10:31
Dr_willisaldi1,  you are using the nvidia driver isntallers from nvidia.com? you have tried the restricted-manager tools yet?10:32

erickahrytan, what did you change and what is happening?10:33
Black_Magici dunno :/10:33
Dr_willisaldi1,  what is your video card? you could just do a 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new'10:34
kahrytaneric-> I added automount in nautilus prefs for partition10:34
aldi1Dr_willis: mz xorg.conf doesnt have driver line, why is that10:34
kahrytaneric->  partition that isnt in fstab10:34
Dr_willisxorg.conf is now useing a very minimal  'featureset'  most of the stuff auto-detects and auto configs10:35
aldi1Dr_willis: how can i change resoluton and driver, i have only 800X60010:37
orvokkiDr_willis: Meh, there were still bugs in it with Beta. I hope they're fixed.10:37
orvokkiDr_willis: Managed to get compiz to crash with one of those "minimal" xorg.conf's.10:37
kahrytanNo one knows how to reset Nautilus mount options for partitions?10:37
Dr_willisaldi1,  once i installed my nvidia drivers.   the various tools let me change the res.10:37
Dr_willisthe nvidia config tools are not installed by default either. they are seperate packages also i recall instgalling them also10:38
orvokkiThey are? o.O10:38
naught101kino isn't in the hardy repos?10:38
orvokkiOh, apparently yes. nvidia-settings seems to be the package.10:39
xtknightBlack_Magic, did Rename work in gutsy?10:39
Black_Magicyep10:39
xtknightBlack_Magic, ok i will file a bug10:40
xtknight might need to put some volume.label property in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi permanently as well, not sure10:40
Black_Magicoksie doksie10:40
erickahrytan, what is happening?10:40
kahrytaneric->  Nautilus is misbehaving?10:40
aldi1Dr_willis: i installed sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx10:42
orvokkinvidia-glx-new is imo a better first choice unless the card is rather old.10:43
Dr_willisI used nvidia-glx-new for my 8800gtsXXX10:43
aldi1i cant find nvidia.ko module?10:43

LynoureI just heard some rumours about hibernation causing filesystem corruption in Hardy? Any truth to it? Which filesystems?11:14
kahrytanLynoure->  and thats not a rumor I want to test .. production system here11:15
zekepossibly...I recently had to reinstall XP and Kubuntu on my laptop...though I think it was fsck that did them in11:15
Lynourekahrytan: I've been hibernating about 20 times with hardy already, so far fine11:15
mcp_How do i disable tracker? I unchecked the entries in gnome session-editor. Trackerd still gets executed11:16
Lynourekahrytan: mostly production here already, but I have lovingly done backups :)11:16
kahrytanLynoure-> I am using RC cuz Mark considers Beta ready for consumers.11:17
kahrytanWell.. It was stable enough for it11:17

murlidharany ideas how to fix that/11:22
murlidhari am forced to boot from gutsy kernel due to non-availability of internet11:23
Lynourekahrytan: you said the hibernation thing is not something you want to test... But do you have any info on it? I only heard a very vague rumour, trying to decide if I want to stop hibernation as the result.11:23
kahrytanLynoure->  Im new to hardy11:23
kahrytanIf it works for you now.. chances are it probably wont11:23

murlidharkahrytan, any idea how do i make internet work in hardy kernel?11:30
kahrytanmurlidhar->  no11:30
Lynouremurlidhar: that's a daunting task, the whole net :) (more seriously: what network card?)11:30
murlidharLynoure, intex ethernet11:31
murlidharLynoure, it works beutifully in gutsy kernel11:32
Lynouremurlidhar: rtc8139d or something else?11:33
kahrytanLynoure->  did you hear .. I want to learn Pyton11:33
Lynourekahrytan: You'll prolly have fun with it :)11:34

murlidharLynoure, it is RTL11:34
murlidharLynoure, u want me to recompile the kernel??!!11:35
* murlidhar is worried11:35
kahrytanYou guys sure it's the kernel?11:35
murlidharyes kahrytan since it is working when booting from gutsy kernel11:36
Lynouremurlidhar: I didn't tell you to do anything yet?!?!?11:36
Lynourekahrytan: I'm not sure of anything yet.11:36
murlidharLynoure, i was worried11:36
Lynouremurlidhar: tune down your mindreadering, it seems jumpy =)11:37
* murlidhar tunes down his mindreading11:37
murlidharnow it will be less jumpy :)11:37
Lynouremurlidhar: hmm, haven't found anything really interesting either way. Have you checked if there is a bug on launchpad on it yet?11:38
Lynouremurlidhar: do you have module 8139too loaded? (I think that's the right module)11:42
murlidharLynoure, ?11:43
Lynouremurlidhar: if you type  lsmod  do you see that module there?11:44
WaSrDubuntu doesn't appear to be detecting any DHCP binaries what to do?11:45
Lynouremurlidhar: uh, some sources say that the chipset is really Silan sc923001 and does not work with 2.6 kernels, but if you had it working in Gutsy, that's weird11:45
murlidharLynoure, didn't find anything with 813911:45
Lynouremurlidhar: try  sudo modprobe 8139too11:45
murlidhari just came out11:46
mnemodoes anyone know if there will be another kernel update before hardy is released? the last kernel update totally screwed me sound (alsamixer wont even start now, it says i dont have a soundcard) ...11:46
murlidharit just came out did nothing11:46
Lynouremurlidhar: if it says nothing, it probably loaded fine :)11:46
Dr_willischeck dmesg output perhaps11:47
murlidharLynoure, what is fealnx?11:47
Dr_willisI was thinking there was at one time 2 or 3 different modulkes for the 8139 chipset.  - I  had a system that worked with one. but not the other.11:47
murlidharis it related to ethernet11:47
Lynouremurlidhar: it's a module for another nic, I think11:48
murlidharLynoure, well it is in my lsmod11:49
murlidharlist11:49
murlidharso is it weird ?11:50
Lynouremurlidhar: some of the Intex cards work with that, it seems. (Never touched an Intex myself)11:51
murlidharLynoure, so fealnx doesn't work with hardy kernel?11:51
Lynouremurlidhar: I really don't know. what's the device id  lspci gives for your card?11:52
kahrytani found a bug in hardy11:53
murlidhar01:05.0 Ethernet controller: MYSON Technology Inc SURECOM EP-320X-S 100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter11:53
murlidharnow thats weird i have an intex card11:53
Lynouremurlidhar: that was one of the cards fealnx was for, I think.11:54
murlidhari have only one ethernet card11:54
Lynouremurlidhar: there should be a device id like 1904:2031 or some other xxxx:xxxx there too11:54
kahrytanLynoure-> I play ET allot and now monitor keeps saying Out of Range ..as if..11:54
Lynouremurlidhar: oh, that's enough data, sorry11:55
murlidharshould i lspci from hardy kernel ?11:55
murlidharand see what there?11:55
Lynouremurlidhar: no need to11:56
kahrytanWhy would Hardy cause a game i play to be out of range for monitor?11:56
Dr_willisIts trying some mode  i guess that your monitor dont like.11:57
Dr_willisstart the game in windowed mode perhaps and change it?11:57
kahrytancant11:57
murlidharor press crtl+alt+  +++/---- to decrease the resolution11:57
murlidharor increase the resolution11:58
Dr_williscant? is that word even ALLOWED in a Ubunut chat room! :)11:58
kahrytanIt doesnt do windows11:58
murlidharDr_willis, any idea why my internet is not working when booted through hardy kernel11:59
Dr_willisHmm... last i tried ET and most any of theother id games they had command line options for a windowed mode.11:59
kahrytanEnemy Territory doesnt do Windowed mode11:59
Dr_willisit may have command line options to select some other fullscreen mode also.12:00
Lynouremurlidhar: no further ideas, seems like a bit troublesome card but should work with fealnx, more problems than for most cards, though :/12:00
Dr_willismurlidhar,  no idea. sorry12:00
kahrytanDr_willis->  nope12:00
gaminggeekalt enter work?12:00
murlidhargotta go srry guys12:01
gaminggeeksometimes that is toggle window12:01
murlidharcya all12:01
Dr_williskahrytan,  looks like you are stuck then.. you might want to double check the et docs, or google a bit on it.     Or manyally alter the configs to change the mode the game uses.12:01
Dr_willisthis is ET? or RTCW:ET?12:01
kahrytanWolfstein12:01
kahrytanETCW>12:02
kahrytanRTCW?12:02
kahrytanits not a game bug12:03
kahrytansince it works in Gutsy12:03
kahrytanSomething in Hardy causes the game to break12:03
Dr_willisWolfenstein™: Enemy Territory   - has a windowd play mode according to the web site. Good Luck.12:04

kahrytanbesides, I want full screen.12:05
rosehey guys, my nvidia driver resets itself every reboot - with the nvidia installer and the restricted-driver manager installer too.12:05
kahrytanHardy has a new bug that needs a fixin12:05
Dr_willisset it to windowwed mode, then try setting to some other modes to see if its just one specific mode thats causing the issue.12:05
kahrytanOutof range means I can't access prefs12:05
Dr_willisI recall some command line options to force it into a failsafe/windowed mode.12:06
toogreenok here's my issue, i always had wifi working fine under Gutsy and even after upgrading to Hardy for a while, and then suddenly lately after an update it completely stopped working, i don't even see my card from anywhere... I think its an Atheros, the brand is TP-Link tho12:06
kahrytanDr_willis->  and there is no --help switch to the binary12:07
Dr_willisgoogleing for enemy teriroty command line options,  is getting a lot of hits.12:08
kahrytanAnyone else care to help me?12:08
Dr_willisi recall those games having so many  optins it was scary12:08

Dr_willishttp://www.rtcw.jolt.co.uk/content/enemy_territory/cmdcvarlist/index.html12:13

Dr_willis+set r_fullscreen 012:16
Dr_willis  or +set r_fullscreen 1 to get to a windowed mode where you can then try the other modes. And you are right - this is just a work around so you can play the game.12:16
kahrytanDr_willis->  And I want full screen12:16
benplaut_aloha :)12:16

kahrytanbenplaut_->  i am on the mailing list for LAUA12:21
axionI have been having freezes with firefox/pidgin..12:21
kahrytanLUAU12:21
axionI solved it by stopping ufw.12:21
axionthe freezes where so severe I had to kill -9 firefox/pidgin several time12:22
Dr_willisits odd that firefox and pidgin are both getting affected12:22
axionskype had no problems..12:23
Dr_willisfirefox seems to contatntly have flash related issues..  havent heard of any issues with pidgin lately.12:23
axionand the load avarage would go beyond 5..12:23
Dr_willisYou  enable ufw and firefox crashes on any web site?12:23
axionthe ufirewall was causing the problems..12:24
axionupon doing /etc/init.d/ufw stop propblems where solved12:24
axionprobably only happens with very slowww harddrves12:24
axionharddrives12:24
Dr_willisok.. what would the hard drive speed have to do with any of this?12:25
axionwell I am using a flash drive with 3 to 5 mb/s write speeds.12:26
Dr_williswell i was going to try to replicate your bug..but cant do that. :)12:27
kahrytanwho?12:27
Dr_willissince i dont have a flash drive axion . I still dont see how the hd speed affexcts that.12:27
Leeuwanyone encountered the infamous 'failed to initialise HAL' bug with tv-card (Philips 713x chip) ?12:27
Dr_williskahrytan,  going to try ti replicate your bug also.. be back in 10 min.12:28
axionwell I have a 1.4 Ghz lptop, with 768 MB ram 8 Gb cf hdd..12:28
axionand I had the same problem with 7.10 before I upgraded..12:29
axionwell betagraded..12:29
axionuntil I stopped the firewall.. nothing helped not even running firefox without any plugins did not help.12:30
kahrytanDr_willis-> game is defaulting to 800x600. A game bug issue but it never caused a problem in Gutsy but it is in Hardy12:31
kahrytani did /r_fullscreen 0 and restart  in thegame12:31
kahrytanIt ignores all config prefs and always defaults to 800x60012:33
Dr_willisHmm its defaulting to 1024x768 here12:34
Dr_willisI cant even get the game to go to 1680x105012:35
Dr_willis but i cant find a mode it cant handle of the options.. some however do not go fullscreen. they stay in windowed mode even if i say fullscreen12:35
kahrytanDr_willis-> Maybe it has to do withthe fact screen resolution cant be changed by the game when it starts?12:36
axionthe compact flash hdd is a cheap 133x cf card available for $25 some internet stores.. combined with a cf->2.5" ide adaptor available for less then $5,- at some ineternet stores12:36
axionthere are also cf->3.5" adapters12:36
kahrytanDr_willis-> It's quake based and can handle widescreen.12:37
Leeuwaxion: how much meg/gig is that nifty li'l thingy ?12:37
kahrytanPrefs in game was setup for widescreen though12:37
axion8G12:37
Leeuwaxion: wow; where do I gettit ?   and what exactly is a cf card ?   like pcmcia ?12:38
axionreads at 14MB/s, only problem is it's sub 5MB/s write speeds12:38
axioncompact-flash card12:38
axionLeeuw, you dutch ?12:38
Leeuwaxion: oh....   didn know about the cf to ide adapters, thatś pretty cool, isn't it ?12:39
axionyeah..12:39
kahrytanHardy doesnt seem to allow to to change screen resolution on start. monitor can do 800x60012:39
Dr_willisYea it has a few widescreen modes..but not the right ones for my monitor.  -  i also notice i got no sound. but it did let me pick a lot of modes.12:39
axionwell seeing as the cf connector is actually a miniature ide-connector.. and the adapter just replicates the pins without any needs for ic's12:40
Dr_willisi got a dvi monitor  - with a 8800gtsxxx video card here. -      i cant find any  modes the game can do that it  goofs up the display12:40
kahrytanfx520012:40
kahrytanI dont like windows mode cuz the desktop is a distraction to me12:41
kahrytanwindowed12:41
Dr_willisi cant even connect to any servers. they all want to download these mod packs - I rember why i quit playing the game now. Heh.12:41
axionLeeuw, can we chat in priv ?12:41
kahrytanDr_willis->  Jaymod .. get it.12:41
kahrytanStable one is best. It doesnt changehow you play the game really12:42
Dr_willis!et12:42
ubotuInformation about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php12:42
kahrytanI didnt know et was valid12:42
Dr_willisI may not have the same vesion of ET.  this one says 2.55 -  i think theres a newer one12:43
Leeuwaxion: thatś amazing... didn 't know that !12:43
axionaha Leeuw also on the isp of choice ..12:43
kahrytanI cant do the security fix12:44
kahrytanserver i play on doesnt use it12:44
Leeuwaxion: how find that out ?   Zit je in Holland ?12:44
axionyep12:44
axionbut this is an english channell..12:45
axionetiquette would be to chat only english12:45
axionbut to be exact: Zuid Holland12:45
Leeuwaxion: hehheeh, and looks like you understand more about pinging and stuff than I do, or is it some IRC command I don know (blijf maar in engels, is beleefder hier)12:45
Leeuwaxion: like I said...12:46
it_rainshello! anybody knows why my laptop can't make any sound?12:46
kahrytanIt sucks that ET breaks in Hardy12:46
Leeuwaxion: you have a clue about the HAL-bug I asked about earlier ?12:46
axion well simply /whois NICK12:46
it_rainsmy laptop is B1906tu12:46
it_rainscompaq12:46
kahrytandue to a bug in a bug in the game12:46
axionLeeuw, Hal bug ?12:46
Leeuwaxion:  Oh yeah, I knew that...:-[12:47
it_rainsprobably it uses ATI SB450 or ALC26012:47
axionno Leeuw don't know anything about the phillips hal bug12:47
axionphilips12:48
Leeuwaxion: yeah; happened after updates; after a lotta searching in launchpad it had to do with tv-card , philips chip; took it out, all works.   Before: no initialise hal, noothing worked, had to reinstaalll at first...12:48
axiondid you try enabling restricted drivers ?12:48
Leeuwaxion: yep, but since no intialise hal, nothing ...   is there a restricted driver for philips tv-chips ?12:49
axiondon't know..12:49
axionmaybe you should manually load the modules..12:49
Leeuwaxion: if there is, I could try install that before I puttit back in..12:49
penis there a way to speed up compiz animation?12:50
Leeuwaxion: thatś good idea; not so sure about how to do that...12:50
penwhy some animations are so laggy, not smooth12:50
Leeuwaxion: I was thinking compile new kernel with philips drivers in it12:50
axionmaybe it has been blacklisted..12:52
Leeuwaxion: loading modules would be easier; how do I do that so they stick around for restart (after putting card back ) ?   Or is that to complicated to say here ?   (then I'll google...12:52
axiontry commenting the drvier in the blacklist..12:52
Leeuwxioblacklisted ?   as hardware for hardy ?   seems not likely... lotsa those chipz around.12:53
axionthe laters update of 7.10 blacklisted all framebuffer-drivers..12:53
Leeuwaxion: oh.. wait, I'm lost, where is that list and whatś it do ?12:53
Leeuwaxion: is tv-chip a framebuffer driver ?12:54
axionso they might have blacklisted tv-card modules as well..12:54
Leeuwaxion: makes sense...12:54
Leeuwaxion: butta.. what where ?12:54
axioncd /boo12:54
axionsorry wrong keyboard12:55
Leeuwaxion: yeah right...12:55
Leeuwaxion: used to dvorak ? ;-)12:55
Leeuwaxion: hey.. yer name is on my monitor !12:56
axionhehe..12:57
axionI thought of that name waaay back..12:57
Leeuwaxion: the one that doesn't work in penguin... 3d screen... other longterm prob12:57
axionand entered in a contest.. which I might have won.. but I'll never know for certain.12:57
Leeuwaxion: why ?12:58
axionbecause I think I used fake name-info.. who used to use thier real name on the internet.12:58
axionall that needed to be correct is your postcode and housenumber.. then the mail would arrive and you would know if the contest was genuinine or just a mail harve$ter12:59
thompaim having a couple problems. One file system check fails and I have to do ctrl + d always12:59
axionLeeuw, check in /etc/modules.d/13:00
axionyou'll find some blacklists..13:00
axioncheck if your card is in the list and comment it out..13:00
Leeuwaxion: ok...   will do ! thanx; have t' go now; will let ya know if I 'm back if it worked !13:01
Leeuwaxion: eh... why blacklists ?   not easier to just remove modules ?   I don 't get the principle of it13:01
thompaon my box i have two partitions: one for 64 other 386. 64 has no sound device anymore and fs check fail on boot, 386 no automount of usb devices like walkman13:02
axionso you can uncomment the one you might need.. adn still have the module laying around..13:02
Leeuwaxion: makes some sense, still don  really gettit though..   will do some googling.   thanx 'n'bye !13:03
axionthompa, try manually running fsck on the partition..13:03
axionlaters Leeuw13:03
thompaaxion: do i have to mount it live first?13:04
axionthompa, no a mounted filesystem cannot be checked13:04
Leeuwaxion: massul !13:05
axionmazzel13:05
thompaaxion: im wondering if I should reinstall instead. move all the files to the 386 partition13:06
thompaaxion: on hardy in 386 usb devices wont work, namely walkman, its same on a couple laptops13:06
thompathey work in 64 though for some reason13:07
thompamaybe not after this update13:07
thompaI need to decide whether to keep 64 0r 386, since I don't want to be fixing both of these. right now the usb issue is showstopper13:08
axionjust run fsck manually on the '4 partition when booted from the 386 partition..13:11
axion'6413:11
thompaaxion: hey good idea13:12
thompaill start there13:12
Carroarmato0How can I see if I'm using the release candidate and not the beta version?13:13
axiondon't forget to make sure the '64 partition is unmounted..13:13
kahrytanDr_willis->  i think that little hardy et issue will be a pain in my side for rest of the the release13:13
thompaaxion: yes thanks,13:13
kahrytanAnyone know what the UTc prefs are for time?13:14
seamus7hi all .. when I upgraded to Hardy I chose to keep my local menu.lst rather than allow it to be upgraded .. now I see that it's booting to an old kernel .. I tried 'sudo update-grub' and it recognize the new 2.6.25 kernel but menu.lst still lists an older kernel ... how can I fix this?13:15
seamus7I meant 2.6.2413:16
kahrytanI have this bad feeling that authorizations applet will be bad thing for Gnome13:16
thompai wonder what the deal is with usb walkman though, here in 64 it comes up sony walkman usb 2, mount point /media/WALKMAN, in 3 other computers running 386 unknown device except i get a usb icon i cant open13:17
kahrytanOne could .. almost set all apps to allow access and not need any password anything13:17
thompathis is worrying me, but nice to see 64 running better for some reason13:17
ompaulCarroarmato0, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade     << that will force all things to RC13:18
thompadoes this mean i cant use 386 on a amd 64? seems like it unless this bug is fixed13:18
ompaulCarroarmato0, or to the place they are at right at this time13:18
Carroarmato0ompaul: oh thx! I only did a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade13:18
kahrytanompaul->  do you subscribe to irc council mailing list?13:19
Carroarmato0ompaul: hmm.... doesn't do nothing... seems like I'm already in RC?13:19
ompaulkahrytan, as I am not a member of the IRC council then I would not13:19
Carroarmato0Isn't there a script or a file I can access to verify that I'm currently in RC?13:22
dns53you can roll forward from alphas to what is current through dist-upgrade, if they are calling the current a rc then that is what you will get13:24
hubuntuwhen are the last changes for the RC applied in the ISO? Meaning when is the daily build actually final?13:24
hubuntuThis is important for me to know because I will be sending CDs to a event, but I have to send them on wednesday, so it means I will have to burn them monday & tuesday... So are the last bits applied on wednesday? Or is it close enough to just use the ISO from monday?13:24
ompaulCarroarmato0, that would be correct you are at rc13:24
ompaulCarroarmato0, it is that simple accept it ;-)13:24
dns53they try not to add anything on the last day unless they really need to13:24
Carroarmato0ompaul: oh ok, thx :D13:25
Carroarmato0ompaul: hmm... Does the Pulseaudio server have any fancy interface to it, or is it just sitting in the background?13:25
hubuntuWe will use 7.10 as the "starring distro" anyway, but I would like to show and install 8.04 to those who want to give it a shot. I guess then 8.04 from monday is good enough then13:25
hubuntu?13:26
dns53well can you wait a few days? it is getting close but who knows13:26
hubuntuI'll test the monday or tuesday ISO and test it. If it works OK I'll just send that. We are focusing on 7.10 anyways... Thanks!13:30

maneyare they truly planning to carry a patched beta release through the life of LTS?13:41
Hobbseevery unlikely13:41
ompaulna the situation is that the beta will fix some security along the way so I can see it get replaced13:41

b4l74z4rthere's a bug in the "Listen" music player on Hardy; the next/previous track buttons doesn't work and when a track is finished playing, it doesn't jump to the next track, it just stops13:58

jaffarkelshacdo you use any video editors14:19

goodhabitHello. Help me please - after update from gutsy to hardy I cannot use two applications with sound, works only one. How I can set-up software mixing?14:22
thompai never even opened evolution yet14:23
kahrytanthompa->  do you even evolution?14:23
thompanot yet, but i will14:23
kahrytanthompa->  I hate the program .. I plan to kill it14:24

kahrytancalender14:25
ikoniathompa: you could investigate sunbird ?14:25
thompakahrytan: what eles is there, i just dont feel like being part of a marekting scheme with google14:26
thompa*marketing14:26

kahrytanWhat? no skype?14:28
thompahes using skype there on a powerbook, dont knwo if they talk14:28

kahrytanIf he uses skype then wouldnt it be better for you to use it?14:29
thompausb and sound are broke on various machines14:29
thompakahrytan: yah maybe, is it free too14:30

CP2Hello folks, I'm still using 10.06. Is a GUI PPPoE client been added to the newer versions of Ubuntu? Or is still necessary to use pppoeconf to setup an adsl pure bridge mode connection? thanx14:31
wigreni have a minor annoyance. when ever i restart my laptop or log out and back in my screen brightness goes to the darkest setting. i have to use the function button to reset it. any ideas on how to fix this?14:31
kahrytanCP2-> I recommend you get yourself a router.14:32
axionproblem solved.. I hope.14:32
ProN00bi am getting an error "WARNING: Error inserting padlock_aes (/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-aes.ko): No such device" when i am trying to do "modprobe aes", does anyone know what that means ?14:32
kahrytanCP2-> thats assuming you have pppoe dsl14:32
axionthe firewall cf files where probably bad..14:32
CP2kahrytan: I could do that, but some distros like SuSE have a GUI client. It's strange that Ubuntu has never inserted a GUI PPPoE client. Yes, I have a PPPoE connection14:33
kahrytanCP2->  Well, a router would fix any need for a gui or login.14:34
kahrytanCP2-> Router logins  for you and all you do is connect to router.14:34
kahrytanCP2->  Nicer that way with live cds ... no special software. Just open firefox and surf.14:34
CP2kahrytan: I know, many ISPs in Italy send their customers ETH modem in RFC 1483 Bridged IP. A GUI setup would be must easy for some people14:36
ProN00buhm, could it be that the 2.6.24 kernel in heron does not support aes-xts-plain ?14:36
ikoniaProN00b: can't see anything in the release notes to suggest not14:41
_Rambaldi_does anyone recommed a webcam that works seamlessly under ubuntu14:41
ikonia_Rambaldi_: most will do14:41
ProN00bhmm, then why does "cryptsetup -c aes-xts-plain -y -s 128 luksFormat /dev/md0" fail ?14:41
_Rambaldi_nothing to install? you just stick it and it work?14:42
ProN00bit works with aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 instead of aes-xts-plain14:42
ProN00boh, keylength too short *_*14:43
rohanthe ubuntu 8.04 cd by default has java installed? free or non-free?14:45
kahrytanrohan->  Thus far on my install... no java14:48
kahrytanThere is java policy pref and java-commom14:49
rohanok, so i won't need to remove it and then install sun java :)14:49
yski have kubuntu 8.4 and i want ubuntu desktop14:49
rohanysk: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop14:49
kahrytanI did synaptic search for java14:49
kahrytanall there is java-common14:49
rohankahrytan: there should be sun-java6-jdk14:50
kahrytanbase packages14:50
rohankahrytan: ah, sun java is in universe i think14:50
kahrytanand not included14:50
yskrohan bhai mein nahi janta k kia kahani hai mujhey wazahat se bata saktey hain aap?14:50
ProN00bhmm, as a filesystem i use ext3, right ?14:50
kahrytanjava5 and 6 are avail14:50
ompaulProN00b, not a bad choice14:51
rohanProN00b: yes14:51
ProN00bompaul, there are no other choices, are there ?14:51
ompaulProN00b, none that make sense14:51
rohanProN00b: there are. reiserfs, ext414:51
kahrytanext3 is the default choice really14:51
rohanompaul: why don't reiserfs and ext4 "make sense"?14:51
yskrohan: i dont know i am windows user can u guide me what u just wrote what it was and how to do it14:51
ProN00bthere is no mkfs.ext414:51
ProN00b*_*14:52
ompaulriser has eaten my data in the past14:52
rohanysk: open a terminal, type that command -- "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop" press enter14:52
rohanProN00b: yes, i don't think it's supported well yet, that fs is highly experimental14:52
kahrytanProN00b->  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems so you know what some of them are14:52
rohanusable, though not recommended14:52
yskdone14:53
rohanysk: that's it, then14:53
ompaulrohan, ergo does not make sense ;-)14:53
rohanompaul: :D but reisferfs does14:53
ProN00bi am thinking of using ext214:53
ompaulrohan, I don't trust it with anything at all - xfs I would trust faster14:53
rohanthough even that is unmaintained now, it seems.. and reiser4 is suspended i guess?14:53
yskrohan bhai there are many updates and i opened it couple of minutes b4 to upgrade14:53
ompaulProN00b, that would be silly14:54
rohanProN00b: no, ext2 is not a journalling fs14:54
yskand now there are many upgrading processes are running14:54
ProN00bbecause i don't really crash often so i don't need that journaling hack14:54
yskshould i restart my pc?14:54
rohanysk: yes, you are installing the complete gnome14:54
rohanysk: no, not needed14:54
rohanProN00b: journalling is not a "hack"14:54
kahrytanProN00b->  Just stick to ext3.14:55
rohanright14:55
ProN00bwell, stuff is written to a journal instead of right in the place they belong, i don't get how that helps with anything14:55
rohanProN00b: that's not how journalling works14:55
ompaulProN00b, there is a reason things are default - learn the defaults then you can compare things to that - starting off in some pseudo experimental configuration is not a great idea14:56
rohanProN00b: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journaling_file_system14:56
rohanA journaling file system is a file system that logs changes to a journal (usually a circular log in a dedicated area) before committing them to the main file system. Such file systems are less likely to become corrupted in the event of power failure or system crash.14:56
FraeonHmh, my RT73 stick and WPA don't mix apparently14:56
rohanthat reminds me.. JFS is an option too! :)14:56
ompaulrohan, xfs tends to be good - this I can say from experience14:57
rohanah yes, xfs too14:58
ProN00brohan, don't you see that that doesn't make sense ? changes are just written somewhere else, corruption can occur there too14:58
rohanbut most distros these days prefer ext314:58
rohanProN00b: did you read the complete article? the Rationale?14:59
zionpsyferProN00b: Trust me, as a person who has used ext2 quite a bit, and dealt with bad superblocks and an unbootable system... hours in fsck..  journaling is the way to go.14:59
zionpsyferI've yet to have the journal cause me an issue.15:00
VadiMy friends X server crashes everytime the screensaver comes in and when he goes to change the screensaver too. What's the terminal command to change it without doing a preview? This is on an 'intel extreme graphics 2' onboard card, because ubuntu refuses to use the better ati radeon one15:00
kahrytanThats something nice about Linux distros these days ...You don't have to sit and wait for hours waiting for defrag to finish.15:00
rohankahrytan: you never had to!15:01
kahrytanin Windows. you gotta15:01
rohanoh, comparing linux and windows, yes15:02
kahrytanLinux desktop is more productive desktop because of the defrag need15:02
rohananyway, i'm off.. cheers to ubuntu, can't wait for hardy :)15:02
rohanbye15:02
VadiOr does anyone know how to get Ubuntu to choose a different card when two are available? Because that would be a lot better (he can't use compiz or any gaming atm)15:03
zionpsyferVadi is the one being used as default an onboard?15:03
VadiYeah.15:04
VadiThe other one is a Radeon 9200.15:04
kahrytanVadi->  turn off onboard graphics?15:05
VadiHow?15:05
zionpsyferBIOS15:05
kahrytanbios15:05
zionpsyferIf it isn't, in System->Preferences->Screen Resolution.  Does it detect both?15:05
VadiWe tried that on 7.10, it has a disastrous effect. We can try again15:05
VadiOk moment15:05
sharperguycan I use audacity with pulseaudio?15:06
kahrytanWhat happened15:06
Vadikahrytan: the other one wasn't being used at all, and he got kicked into the terminal15:06
zionpsyfersharperguy: audacity seems to work ok with pulse on my system.15:06
sharperguyzionpsyfer, well i cant get it to do anything15:06
kahrytanin Gutsy. Pulse dominated sound driver15:06
kahrytanpreventing anyother audio app access15:07
sharperguyand it doesnt have an option for pukse either15:07
kahrytanit wouldntself terminate15:07
zionpsyfersharperguy: despite its promises, pulse only allows me to use one audio source at a time.  anything else using sound?15:07
sharperguynot really15:08
sharperguyanyway if you set everything to pulse it should work, but audacity doesnt have an option15:08
kahrytanpulse sound preview wont activate with sound is used15:09
zionpsyfersharperguy: Hmm, pulse appears in the Audio Output plugin list15:09
Vadizionpsyfer: how can he tell if it detects both?15:09
kahrytani just rested it15:09
BravewolfWhy hardy doesn't recognize my nvidia card (proprietary drivers not listed in the specific application in system->administration)15:09

Vadizionpsyfer: sorry, laptop user here15:22
murlidharmy internet is not working with hardy kernel15:23
zionpsyferBravewolf: if a process is using that file, it blocks access to other processes.  We need to stop whatever is using it.  Temporarily so that you can finish the install.15:23
filthpig_hiya, I have an ironic kind of problem: When I partitioned my hdd a few months ago, I wanted / to be small, so that I could dedicate as much space as possible to my /home partition. When I now try to dist-upgrade to hardy, I get a message claiming "not enough space on disk", because the /tmp folder is on the / partition and I only have approx. 1 gb free space there...... is there some way to tell the upgrade tool to use a folder on my /home15:23
zionpsyferVadi: No, I mean his monitor cable, that plugs into the video card.  He needs to verify which video card the monitor is plugged into.15:23

PriceChildmurlidhar: have you filed a bug?15:38
PriceChild(don't try now)15:38
Gnimshits so difficult to make and receive phone calls, and when my computer is my only way to do that, its a problem.15:38

Gnimshis there a way to do that without reinstalling?15:38
PriceChildVadi: that is a good point.. why is he using hardy on a machine he 'needs' to be able to make phone calls from...15:38
VadiGnimsh: I doubt any OS can do that.15:38
GnimshI upgraded cuz I had video issues in the last one, certain programs would not run.15:38
blotto user:group, should i put the groups as admin or users15:38
Gnimshya, that's what I was afraid of.15:38

murlidharwhat is blotto is doing here15:39
PriceChildmurlidhar: when launchpad comes back online, you should consider filing a bug and trying to help get things fixed rather than just complaining here.15:39
Gnimsheh, at that point I had nothing to lose as 7.10 wasn't exactly working how I wanted either15:39
PriceChildblotto: what version of ubuntu are you using?15:39
bazhangblotto: not sure what you mean15:39
Gnimshnow the video issue is fixed and I can use my audio, just one problem at a time.15:39
murlidharPriceChild, i think i was missing some settting that was not letting me to  connect to the interne15:40
GnimshI kinda doubt that this audio issue will be fixed though because it seems to be more a trademark of linux than a bug15:40
PriceChildmurlidhar: so the card works fine?15:40
murlidharPriceChild, yes of course it is . i am using the same card from gutsy kernel15:40

blottothere really is not much of a market in data destruction. yet.15:40
murlidharPriceChild, i just have to use gutsy kernel to use internet15:41
GnimshSo you're saying that you do not have this problem15:41
bazhangblotto: do you have an actual computer support issue?15:41
PriceChildmurlidhar: gutsy kernel on a hardy install, so does the interface get shown in ifconfig on hardy?15:41

murlidharPriceChild, i didn't check but network manager on the panel shows settings  there15:42
Gnimshset pulseaudio as your default15:42
bazhangblotto: that sounds like someone else's issue15:42
murlidharPriceChild, blotto is is a bot he is just repeating what i said and what other say15:43
murlidharblotto is a mad bot15:43
VadiGnimsh: I don't have skype, but youtube and rhythmbox do work at the same time along with mumble. I'm not sure what's my default sound thing is though (I just left it as it is, because it's workign)15:43
Gnimshwell could you look at least? system>pref>sound15:44
bazhangGnimsh: would not skype cut those others off so that you could hear the call? that would make the most sense15:44
Gnimshit didn't...I tried to make a call this morning and I heard the ringing and then it went silent halfway through15:45
VadiGnimsh: Which category am i looking at15:45
PriceChildskype doesn't play nice with pulseaudio.....15:45
GnimshI could neither hear the other person or be heard15:45
VadiGnimsh: it says "autodetect" for all of them15:45
Gnimshok15:45
PriceChildthat's not a problem with it being 2 apps at once... it just doesn't play nice15:45
VadiGnimsh: and ALSA for sound capture.15:45
Gnimshmaybe I shall try that15:45
WidgetHardy heron comes with kde4 too doesn't it ?15:46

Gnimshwell, we'll see if it sticks when I restart15:58

daningHi, I use ibm x61 laptop. And I install hardy beta. And I update beta to rc. My wireless card don't work well. It works sometimes and don't work sometimes. Do anyone know this problem?16:20
crimsundaning: yes, that's a known issue with iwl*.  Have you tried installing linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r)?16:22
orvokkicrimsun: Btw, does killing off pulseaudio completely disable it and let me use ALSA?16:22
crimsunorvokki: currently, yes.16:22
orvokkiIt isn't going to later on?16:22
socorvokki: yes16:22
crimsunorvokki: I'm investigating the last blocker to make pulseaudio use 'default'.16:23
crimsunorvokki: there's currently a race condition in the load order of the suspend-on-idle and alsa-source modules that will cause it to fail.16:23
orvokkicrimsun: Is it still possible to disable pulseaudio somehow after that?16:23
daningcrimsun: No.16:23
daningcrimsun: what's $(uname -r) means?16:24
orvokkicrimsun: I've put chmod u-x /etc/init.d/pulseaudio to my system spesifically because PulseAudio doesn't support as high audio quality for my sound card as ALSA.16:25
crimsunorvokki: it will always be possible to disable pulseaudio, either by unchecking the "Enable software sound mixing" option in GNOME's System> Preferences> Sound, or by removing one or more of pulseaudio & pulseaudio-esound-compat packages, or [..]16:25
orvokkiAnd run all my sound through ALSA. :)16:25
crimsunorvokki: we don't use the system-wide initscript by default.  Only Edubuntu does.  We use the per-user GNOME session method via esound compatibility.16:25
orvokkiOh? I was unaware of that.16:25
crimsundaning: it's a shell command that means, roughly, "get me the version of the running kernel"16:26
crimsundaning: i.e., it's a literal command.  You need that precise syntax.16:26
orvokkicrimsun: Hmm, apparently disabling it that way also makes it impossible to run any log in and whatever sounds on Gnome. Whatever, I can take that cost.16:26
daningcrimsun: Thx. I am trying this.16:27
crimsunorvokki: if "that way" refers to removing either/both pulseaudio or/and pulseaudio-esound-compat, yes.16:27
daningcrimsun: I have installed this. Do I have to reboot my box?16:28
crimsundaning: that's the most foolproof method, yes.16:28
orvokkicrimsun: "That way" implied unchecking "Enable software sound mixing". Removing the actual pacakges is a bit of a bad choice imo since it also requires removing ubuntu-desktop meta package.16:29
crimsundaning: be aware that linux-backports-modules contains very new software, and it may not work, even, but it's worth a try.16:29
daningcrimsun: Ok. I'm gonna reboot it. Bless me.16:29
daningbye16:29
crimsunorvokki: oh, losing system sounds? Right, that's not that big of a deal.16:29

thompajust curious if 64 is working as well as 386?16:37
Roeycrimsun:  http://rafb.net/p/quCyqR83.html  <-- it says it wants to remove amarok too16:38
Roeythompa:  no youtube16:38
=== jacob_ is now known as jacob
thompaRoey: thats hard to believe16:39
thompai think that is fixable16:39
Roeythompa:  I don't know if we'll see a working youtube till '10 maybe16:39
thompamy problem is that 386 is not opening usb devices as it should, while 64 automounts them16:39
Roeythis is *really* holding back GNU/Linux adoption on the consumer level.16:39
thompaRoey: i think i had youtube working in 64 once16:40
dotechyoutube works here...16:40
crimsunsoc: ok, let's clean up some conffiles first.16:40
crimsunsoc: rm ~/.asoundrc*16:40
thompacant remember if it was ubuntu though16:40
dotech64-bit16:40
Roeydotech:  how?16:40
socok16:40
dotechinstalled the flash plugin16:40
orvokkicrimsun: Actually that doesn't seem to have worked. PulseAudio still started. :) Oh, well. I suppose I can just remove the packages, install ubuntu-desktop back when the release comes and then remove PulseAudio again after release...16:40
dotechand it just works16:40
Roeydotech:  I did too; it doesn't work16:41
crimsunRoey: why are you attempting to remove libpulse0?16:41
thompadotech: are you on 64 bit?16:41
Roeydotech:  i have gnash isntalled too...hmm16:41
dotechthompa: yes16:41
Roeycrimsun:  I thought it's part of pulseaduio?16:41
crimsunRoey: only libflashsupport (if installed) and pulseaudio (if installed)16:41
crimsunRoey: no, I meant /those/ specific packages16:41
Roeyohhhhh ok16:41
Roeylibflashsupport I got rid of16:41
thompadotech: is everything working? what about usb devices16:41
Roeyas you said16:41
dotechRoey: all i did was install hardy, update, open youtube and followed the in-browser plugin thing to add adobe's flash plugin16:41
crimsunorvokki: what doesn't?16:42
dotechthompa: what about usb devices?16:42
Roeydotech:  what's the in-browser plugin thing?16:42
dotechRoey: firefox has a plugin installer16:42
dotechyou should use that to install flash16:42
orvokkicrimsun: Hmm, unchecked the "Enable software something something", logged in again, pulseaudio was started again.16:42
dotechthompa: i use a usb audio decoder, it works16:42
thompadotech: well i am doing a new install of 64 cause my sound device is not found now anymore and I want to see if walkman wont automount16:42
dotechthompa: and it was auto-detected without the need for any software16:43
thompadotech: walkman wont come up in any 386 on a few computers16:43
Roeydotech:  oh... you're using firefox16:43
orvokkicrimsun: But really, I suppose it's a non-issue. Maybe I don't need ubuntu-desktop installed besides just after the release.16:43
dotechRoey: yeah, thats the browser of choice for ubuntu16:43
thompadotech: im hoping it still works in 64 after upgrade16:43
Roeycrimsun:  ok, I removed those packages, but now all I have is a gray box16:43
dotechhardy comes with beta 3b5 now16:43
Roey(on youtube)16:43
Roeydotech:  it's so unfortunate that gnome is the default Ubuntu "brand"16:44
dotechthompa: worst case you can install the 32-bit version of applications16:44
crimsunorvokki: sorry, that's part of the pulseaudio-module-x11 package that's the culprit.16:44
dotechi have to do that if i want java to work in firefox, but i haven't done so yet16:44
crimsunorvokki: (namely, /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio-module-xsmp.desktop)16:44
thompadotech: Its wierd, but I think somehow whatever was fixed in 386 broke the usb, 64 hasnt been fixed to break it yet16:45
orvokkiAh, right.16:45
dotechthompa: if you run "lsusb" do you see your device?16:45
thompadotech: i think the only issue in 64 might be real player. I need that for bbc16:45
adinchello when my desktop starts it takes a while untill the desktopis visible it stays black for about a second. this wasnt the case in the past before upgrading, has someone got an idea what this behaviour could caused?16:46
thompadotech: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 054c:0325 Sony Corp.16:46
orvokkicrimsun: Marking it unreadable should do the trick, right?16:46
dotechits possible that 64-bit real player doesn't function correctly16:46
dotechyou could always install the 32-bit version and give it a shot16:46
soccrimsun: and now?16:46
crimsunsoc: now, let's test ALSA directly:  use multiple invocations of `aplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav' in separate Terminal16:47
crimsunTerminals*16:47
thompadotech: it shows up as only usb in my computer, im moving to 64 anyway so may not waste my time here16:47
thompai feel like i need to file a bug report, cause its broke on all 3 machines running 38616:47
crimsunRoey: is this on x86_64 or ia32?16:47
dotechthompa: give it a shot, i'm using many usb devices in hardy amd64 with an intel core2 quad, works great so far16:47
Roeycrimsun:  I'm runinng an ia32 guest on x86_64 host16:48
Roey(8.04 on 8.04)16:48
adincand when i move windows the content gets black and is not anymore visible during movement of that window16:48
Zoemadinc: that is the delay between loging in and starting the current window manager (eg, metacity or compiz)16:48
thompadotech: 64 works better which is strange16:48
socsoc@desktop07:~$ play /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav16:48
socplay soxio: Failed reading `/usr/share/sounds/startup.wav': unknown file type `auto'16:48

Zoemdunno about black windows16:48
Roeyalsa16:48
adincZoem: but this also happens when login has been done and switching desktops16:48
thompadotech: i would have to say right now 386 is broke for me16:48

sailaway85Question? My router has a firewall do I need one in linux too16:55
tomd123no16:56
tomd123but it depends if you have a good firewall built in or not16:57
tomd123there could be more features in the linux firewall that you might like16:57
tomd123sailaway85: if you want to be safer, go with the firewall on linux16:59
savvasdo you know a command that allows me to print only 1,3,5... or 2,4,6,8,... up to number 32 and separate them with a comma character?16:59
sailaway85Next question: then azureus was running no dl or up's and cpu  when to 40% ... manager showed azureus as the user ... net activity skyrocketed too16:59
crimsunsoc: sorry, you need to rm /etc/asound.conf, too17:00
tomd123savvas: you mean just to print out the numbers w/ comma and that's it? Look into shell programming17:01
Zoemsavvas: or perl, since that doesn't even merit a complete line17:02
Perunhmm have a problem with hardy xen and network in a domU... I use the same conf file like for the other domU's (where it works) and have a eth0 iface in hardy domU but if I try dhcpclient or set manually the ip, it doesnt work... I cant ping my other hosts... is there a bug?17:02
dbmoodbthere is a bug i thinks17:02

soccrimsun: ok17:03
dbmoodbhas the bug with kde 3.5 and compiz been fixed -- it doesn't work with the cube effect for the number of workplaces last time i checked17:05
Perunthats my config: http://paste.debian.net/1177/ ais with other domU's with same conf there is no problem17:05
dbmoodbso hardy is where -- a guest or a host ?17:07
tomd123sailaway85: I'm not familiar with azurues, if you really don't need the net on it then you can put it on the block list.17:07
dbmoodblower the number of connections on your router / modem thingy if it cannot handle them and port forward, sometimes turning off firewall features can help17:08
dbmoodbif you want to torrent that is17:08
Perundbmoodb: guest, host is debian etch + xen backports (3.2)17:09

bullgard4After upgrading to Hardy Ubuntu looses LAN connection after a while. Restarting the computer will bring up LAN connection again (for a while). nm-applet reports then a hardware address but no IP address. sudo ifdown -a followed by ifup -a does not restore the LAN (and thus the ADSL) connection. How to troubleshoot?17:52
crimsunbullgard4: which wifi chipset?17:52
ikoniabullgard4: sounds like a ppoe persitance check, how is your network card connected to the internet, router/modem etc17:53
bullgard4crimsun: Wifi is irrelevant as it is not operational.17:53
ikoniabullgard4: this is a wired connection ? how do you connect to the internet17:54
crimsunbullgard4: sorry, misparsed your statement regarding nm-applet.17:54
bullgard4ikonia: My LAN interface is connected to an ADSL router 'Fritz!BoxFon'.17:54
bullgard4ikonia: This is a wired LAN.17:54
ikoniabullgard4: ok, so your card doesn't appear to be able to hold onto it's IP address, if you do a dhclient on the card when it has the problem, do you see it searching for an address / getting one / failing / complaining ?17:55
bullgard4ikonia: My network card is a DHCP client. --  "sudo dhclient eth0" obtains: "No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping."17:59
ikoniabullgard4: ok, so it appears your network card actually "goes away" rather than just lose an address18:00
ClintegerHey, everyone! I set up Samba on my laptop running Ubuntu. I have this desktop running XP, and I can see my laptop's samba share from XP but I can't see any workgroups in Ubuntu, therefore I can't see any of the computers, either. What do I need to do to fix this?18:00
bullgard4ikonia:  "to go away" is no exact description. What do you mean?18:01
ikoniabullgard4: become unavailable tot he system18:01
ikoniabullgard4: if the card loses IP address but responds to commands, that in my mind is different to the card not being able to participate on the network at a native level (eg: see the dhcp server)18:02
bullgard4ikonia: Yes. And please tell me what I have to do to re-establish network connection besides re-booting.18:02

nemoankit: a decent sb16 never had issues with hardware mixing, but a crappy intel softchip needed a sound system18:06
hyperaireither way pulseaudio's really good whether your sound card is good or bad18:07

ankitwell I'm using esd with festival for text-to-speech... what should I be using?18:08
hyperairpulseaudio? =p18:08
hyperairit supports the esd protocol18:08
ankithow would I configure festival to use pulseaudio?18:08
hyperairjust switch to pulseaudio18:08
hyperairdoesn't matter..18:09
hyperairfestival will automatically use pulseaudio18:09
hyperairmattik:  1:7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.12-16.3418:09
ankitwell when I didn't have a configuration file, festival didn't play anything.18:09
ankitthen I added one for alsa, and that didn't work (device busy)18:09
mattikhyperair: Thank you very much :)18:09
hyperairankit:well if it's configured for esd, then it'll work with pulseaudio18:09
hyperairmattik: you're welcome18:09
ankithyperair: so... esd works... under... pulseaudio?18:10
hyperairankit: if i'm not mistaken, anything configured to use esd will be able to use pulseaudio18:10
hyperairpulseaudio supports the esd protocol18:10
hyperairbut no esd and pulseaudio shouldn't run at the same time18:10
nemoankit: device busy? :)18:10
hyperairapps which are configured to use esd will think that they are using esd, but actually use pulseaudio18:11
nemoankit: sounds like your card is crappier than initially reported :-p18:11
hyperairnemo: agreed18:11
ankitnemo: well I think it's just not properly configured...18:11
nemoankit: nope18:11
nemoankit: I mean, yes...18:11
nemobut even if it wasn't properly configured18:11
hyperairimproper configuration doesn't matter if your sound card is good18:11
nemoyou wouldn't get device busy on a $10 SB1618:11

linasit boots, but that's almost it18:34
mrunagiwhy are they releasing it then?18:34
derspanksternot much wrong with my install18:34
linasI can use konqueror, but only if I'm careful not to touch the gnome panel18:34
bazhanghardy is superb18:34

derspanksterlinas: well, it's not at all18:36
linasI just can't imagine how it got so messed up.18:36

linasI've run other version of ubuntu on another 3-5 machines over the last 2-3 years, and those have been flawless18:38
linasIts just Hardy that is driving me nuts18:39
hyperairbecause you didn't bork your installatino through dist-upgrade18:39
mrunagiand they all have the exact same config?18:39
VadiDanaG: Oh, I really hope that bug gets fixed. These screensavers are sexy18:39
hyperairyou should have used update-manager18:39
DanaGAlmost every time I quite Firefox 3.0, it freezes on IOWAIT for a while.18:39
linasI did update-manager for the first one.18:39
mrunagii think you are doing it wrong18:39
bazhanglinas without specific info then there will be no fixes; you have been venting for quite a while now18:39
linasbut its graphical18:39
DanaGVadi: quick fix for that: edit /usr/share/applications/screensavers/(each screensaver name).desktop18:39
linasand I can't update remotely18:39
VadiDanaG: And change what?18:40
DanaGAdd the parameters '-x 60 -n'18:40
DanaGMakes it 60FPS max, and Nice.18:40
linasso I have the chicken-egg problem: nothing graphical works, so I have to do everything from ssh18:40
hyperairlinas: dist-upgrade has always been weird, especially if you upgrade before the release18:40
linasI don't know what specific info to give.18:41
zionpsyferVadi: Nice!  Glad you got it working. Wish I'd had been more help.18:41

VadiDanaG: With the ' or without?18:42
linasso How do I un-bork it?18:42
bazhanglinas well you have shared your opinion; no need to repeat it ad nauseam18:42
linasI'm stumped.18:43
VadiDanaG: that didn't quite work, at least previewing still hogs the cpu18:43
linasI need a "borked" detector.18:45
DanaGHmm, try running the screensaver itself.18:45
DanaGOh, and without »'« that thing.18:46
ankitWhoa.... suspend... it... worked.18:46
VadiDanaG: What's the command?18:46
VadiDanaG: I'm trying it with the "Helios" one18:46

TATTERSjust installed hardy and my graphics not working how do I reconfigure it to use vesa mode, dpkg-reconfigure is not used anymore is that right?18:49
linasSo ... aside from burning CD's, is there any way to reinstall from a shell command? None of hyperair's apt-get commands seem to be valid18:49
taconeupgrading for gutsy should I add manually relatime to /etc/fstab ?18:50

VadiDanaG: Ok, the .desktop now is "Exec=helios -r -x 60 -n" but same thing18:55
tomd123linas: have you tried reinstalling it?18:55
linasIs there a way to reinstall from the command line?18:56
peter77linas: I agree with derspankster, however if it can be fixed easily without reinstall it maybe worth it depending on how long it would take you to setup a fresh system!18:56
linasI used to be able to install debian in under an hour, once upon a time.18:56
linasbut I don't know what you mean by "set up a fresh system"18:57
TATTERShow do I setup graphic card using cli with hardy?18:57
linasAs I say, the part that I don't get is that I've been running Linux for -- what 14 years, and this is the first time ever that I have to do a reinstall to fix a problem18:59
linasIts mind-boggling.18:59
bullgard4After upgrading to Hardy Ubuntu looses LAN connection after a while. Restarting the computer will bring up LAN connection again (for a while). nm-applet reports then a hardware address but no IP address. sudo ifdown -a followed by ifup -a does not restore the LAN (and thus the ADSL) connection. How to troubleshoot?19:00
linasFor the last 5 years, I've been doing linux kernel development on high-end powerpc machines, and I never had to reinstall anything there. Yet here, ... I'm  stumped19:00
duncanmi'd like to upgraded to hardy on my eee pc19:00
duncanmbut i don't have enough diskspace to do the full upgrade19:00

ikoniabullgard4: the card seems reasonably well supported/stable ?19:04
bullgard4ikonia: 'Fritz!BoxFon' is a well-established ADSL router. It works all right. I am running at the the time in this LAN another Ubuntu laptop computer.19:06
bullgard4with Internet connection19:06
ikoniabullgard4: I'm not aware of the make, hence the question, is the other laptop using the same make/model of nic ?19:07
bullgard4ikonia: No.19:07

savvasgba: what brand/model?19:28
derspankstersavvas: of course, it should19:28
Black_Magicall this fuss with cupsys started again when i tried to install kubuntu-desktop19:28
DanaGHmm, sounds like another hard-to-solve issue.19:28
savvasderspankster: eh?19:28
DanaGIf you use just plain 'dmix' -- what's to make it use the right audio device?19:29
crimsunDanaG: thus, there's no cycle.  Even with pcm pulse plugin defined as default, it looks like:  someALSAapp->pcm pulse plug->PulseAudio->dmix19:29
upsignalsavvas sound mixing is already enabled19:29
gbasavvas, nvidia19:29
derspankstersavvas: sorry, responding to nvidia-settings in terminal19:29
savvasupsignal: try close firefox, log  out and log in again, maybe the flash player crashed or something :)19:29
savvasgba: nvidia wireless 1505 ?19:29
DanaGPerhaps it'd be good to have a UI for blacklisting specific audio drivers.  FOr example, if I had onboard and audigy2, and never used onboard, you could just blacklist the onboard.19:30
savvasgba: woops, wrong user :)19:30
ClintegerHello, everyone! I'm using samba on my Ubuntu linux laptop, and the server portion seems to be working correctly. I have a desktop running Windows XP, and I can see the shares of my linux laptop. However, I can't see any shares from my laptop, so I can't access the windows shares. It's odd to me that it only works one way, because I can see the desktop's shares from the other Windows PCs.19:30
xtknightBlack_Magic, i guess they didn't like bug 21983619:30
ubotuLaunchpad bug 219836 in nautilus "can no longer set volume label of hal drive through nautilus" [Low,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/21983619:30
gbasavvas, wireless graphic card ? o_O19:30
upsignalsavvas, the flash player works fine. the problem is, i can't listen anything else when he's playing19:30
savvassowwy heh19:30
xtknight'wont fix' for hardy19:30
xtknightbut apparently it never worked in gutsy19:30
Black_Magicso could anyone help me?19:31
Black_Magicxtknight: :/19:31
engwarhi, i couldn't find an answer o my problem in the forums. My sound output stutters once in a while, even when i select alsa as default output instead of pulseaudio19:31
Black_Magici coulda sworn it worked...19:31
crimsunDanaG: that's unofficially part of the plan19:31
savvasupsignal: no idea, try filing a bug19:31
DanaGOr another way would be to make hda and ac97 drivers respect "disabled in BIOS" state.19:31
DanaGMany people already do that as a normal part of installing addin sound cards.19:31
crimsunDanaG: well, the respect part is a Linux issue19:32
xtknighti thought disabling in bios prevented it from being advertised over the pci config space19:32
gbasavvas, what is the command that gives me the model of the graphic card so that i can answer your question?19:32
crimsunDanaG: however, you'd need both a blacklist entry and bios tweaking19:32
upsignalwell, theres som much people using hardy already, i can't believe it's a bug. i can only play sound from one application at time. someone has to know how to fix this19:32
DanaGOh yeah, I figured out my "can't boot when TPM is disabled" issue:19:32
savvasgba: that question was for another user :) sorry19:32
Clintegeranyone know?19:32
savvasgba: but lspci should give you the output19:32
DanaGmy dsdt changes based on whether TPM is disabled or enabled.  I was overriding my dsdt in initramfs.... with one from TPM enabled.19:32
Black_MagicUhm this comes in dmesg when getting errors from apt-get or dpkg:http://pastebin.com/f745f327619:33
* savvas away - urgent call19:33
pixelmonkeyhas anyone gotten VMWare Workstation or Player to work with hardy?  I can't get the vmmon module to compile against the 2.6.24 kernel.19:34
xtknightpixelmonkey, yeah youll have to google on this one19:34
linassavvas, no the command-line did not suggest it. But .. wonder-of-wonders -- rebuilding the xorg.conf file fixed many (most?) of the desktop bugs!19:35
edugonchHello I have a problem with my usb memory key, the system is mounting it like readonly..... how can I change this?19:35
gbaOkay, next try: Is here someone who can help me to write a bug report regarding the driver(s) which get installed by the tool "Hardware Drivers" ? My graphic card is a nvidia NV18 [GeForce 4 MX400].19:35
pixelmonkeyxtknight, I already tried the vmware-any-any 116 update, but that gives me an error when running the VM19:35
xtknightpixelmonkey, which error?19:35
xtknightpixelmonkey, cannot connect to peer process?19:35
pixelmonkeyxtknight, no, it's something like vmmon module is unexpected version, expected 167.0 but got 137.0.19:35
xtknighthmmm19:35
xtknightstrange.19:36
pixelmonkeyxtknight, did you use any-any 116 or 115?19:36
xtknightive never seen that before and ive seen all the errors on hardy/vmware under the sun :p19:36
xtknight11619:36
savvaslinas: if you upgraded from gutsy to hardy, you could consider doing a clean install in order to get everything working ok :) I keep my /home in a separate partition, so it's easier to keep configuration of applications by simply formatting just the root / partition :)19:36
DanaGWhat about state of installed apps?19:36
xtknightpixelmonkey, i386 ubuntu?19:36
DanaGYou'd have to remember every app you'd ever installed.19:36
DanaGaptitude-create-state-bundle ?19:36
pixelmonkeyxtknight, yes19:37
xtknighti've got x86_6419:37
pixelmonkeyxtknight, ah, okay...19:37
xtknightdont know if that makes a diff19:37
xtknightpixelmonkey, have you tried vmware-uninstall and vmware-install again19:37
DanaGOOh, at least dmixing doesn't break latency measurement.19:37
gbaCan someone at least tell me where I can get help to write my bug report?19:38
pixelmonkeyxtknight, I'm giving that a try right now19:38
DanaGOh wait, it does sound a bit odd, actually.19:38
xtknightgba, just write what you think is appropriate and people will request detaeils if they need them19:38
xtknightgba, write something initial and ill give you a suggestion so you can edit it, if you want.  and ill triage it19:38
gbaxtknight, okay19:39
DanaGOkay, it seems dmix does add some latency ... enough to make it sound echo-ey.19:39
DanaGYou'd have to dmix ALL devices to overcome that.19:39
engwaranyone experiencing stutter in audio output?19:40
xtknightso if pulseaudio is running but im using alsa audio output, it's not using pulseaudio is it?19:40
jaffarkelshaci find my videos when fullscreen very blocky especially when horizontally panning, any suggestions19:40
xtknighti dont get the point of installing pulseaudio when nothing chooses it by default?19:41
DanaGYeah... and incomplete inclusion seems worse than no inclusion, to me.19:41
DanaGs/and/an/19:41
xtknightthere's not even a  hardy control panel to take control of any of the "features"19:42
DanaGArgh, I get audio freeze for 500ms or so when I close my laptop lid.19:42
xtknighti think that shoulda just been kept to the multimedia verison of ubuntu if you ask me19:42
bullgard4Did the version of the 8139cp and 8139too modules change at the Hardy upgrade?19:42
DanaG8139cp and 8139too?  What kind of naming is that?19:43
bullgard4This are module names.19:43
DanaGWhat I mean is, those names seems silly to me.19:44
gbaxtknight, The bug: After installing the nvidia driver(s) with the automatic installation tool of Hardy and rebooting many applications of the "Applications" menu only open up with a white rectangle where no window border and no application menu is visible. Also it is not possible to kill this application. The shutdown menu - which you get by clicking the right top icon - also shows only a white rectangle. Only with going to the console it is po19:44
gbassible to use the PC after installing the driver(s).19:44
bullgard4DanaG: But this entirely due to you.19:44
DanaGI didn't name them.19:44
DanaG8139cp:  RealTek RTL-8139C+ series 10/100 PCI Ethernet driver19:44
DanaG8139too:  RealTek RTL-8139 Fast Ethernet driver19:44
bullgard4DanaG: yes.19:45
DanaGaah, Realtek named things badly, then.19:45
pixelmonkeyxtknight, I think I figured it out -- the vmmon getversion.pl script was returning the wrong version of VMWare workstaiton for me, I think I can override it with an env variable19:45
xtknightgba, can you link the bug # please ?19:45
DanaGThe "C+" is the difference.19:45
xtknightafter submission19:45
xtknightpixelmonkey, weird19:45
gbaxtknight, Aaaaarrrrrggghhhhh19:45
gba>:-|19:45
pixelmonkeyxtknight, for some reason, that script is claiming I have VMWare workstaiton 4.0 installed19:45
xtknightgba, ?19:45
fadeyHi. I've upgraded to hardy RC. On booting I get :ALERT! /dev/sda2 doesn't exist. How do I combat that?19:45
gbaI didn't open a bug because I first want to "learn" here how to write one "useful" report19:46
pixelmonkeyxtknight, yep, it works now -- amazing! :-)19:46
pixelmonkeyxtknight, do you know of any location for community documentation on VMware and Ubuntu, I figure I should share this in case others run into it.19:46
Black_MagicCould anyone help me im having problems with Cupsys19:46
xtknightpixelmonkey, it would be a great idea to make a page on the ubuntu wiki for vmware if there isnt already one, or add to that19:47
pixelmonkeyxtknight, I'll search around19:47
xtknightgba, ok so from what i get, you use Hardware Drivers aka. jockey-gtk (please mention this) and after doing so, you logout.  then after that, compiz gets enabled probably and then this probably causes your weidr white rectangles19:47
gbaI dn't know what data to include : Do you want the kernel version, do you want the hardware model, or something totally other. Is it even useful to report this bug. Or will it with a big chance "slapped" will not fixed and closed.19:47
xtknightnobody will just close your bug19:47
bullgard4DanaG: Caveat, you lordship: Not Realtek but Jeff Garzik.19:48
bullgard4your19:48
DanaGHuh?19:48
DanaGLook at the CHIP names.19:48
DanaG8139C+19:48
DanaG813919:48
DanaGRealtek did that.19:48
pixelmonkeyxtknight, hmm, interesting -- this page here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Workstation) says that 115 should work with 2.6.2419:48
xtknightpixelmonkey, oh maybe19:48
xtknightpixelmonkey, i think 116 is for 2.6.25?19:48
pixelmonkeyxtknight, possible, and maybe the version bug only affects 116...19:48
xtknighti got vmware to run on 2.6.25 with a giant tug of war19:49
xtknightbut not worth it19:49
pixelmonkeyxtknight, is hardy sticking with 2.6.24 or upgrading to 2.6.25 at some point?19:49
xtknightpixelmonkey, they are sticking with 2.6.2419:49
gbaxtknight, should I include screenshots in the bug report?19:49
xtknightgba, yes19:49
xtknightgba, that would be helpful19:49
xtknightgba, thing is, it's just easier for to submit it now and add that stuff later.  bug reporting is really a progressive thing.  so i'd want to take a look at your bug while i still have the time and add info that i can19:50
pixelmonkeyxtknight, okay, good.  Kernel upgrades are a nightmare.  Now I only have one issue that I have to figure out -- hibernate.  It looks like suspend works on my laptop in hardy (which is awesome, never worked in feisty), but although hibernate works on shutdown, when I boot back up it doesn't restore from disk.  I'm gonna explore a bit.19:50
simion314for me gnash do not plays youtube or google video, on the gnash web site it sais that it is posible. are the packages old or i am missing something?19:50
xtknightpixelmonkey, ah those have never worked for me19:50
gbaxtknight, I will try19:50
gbabye19:51
Black_MagicHello, Could someone Please help with my cupsys thing i cannot install anything without getting again ive even tried purging it...19:52
xtknightBlack_Magic, so you can't successfully purge this?19:53

DanaGcrimsun: I just had an idea of how to dmix all devices:19:56
BluesKajany reports about the 64Bit hardy being more flexible options-wise than previous releases ?19:56
xtknightBlack_Magic, it looks specifically like your problem is selinux but ive never used selinux personally.  do you recall enabling this or something19:56
DanaGHave default.pa use dmix:0 dmix:1 dmix:2  up to, say, 5, in a .nofail19:56
Black_Magicxtknight: Nope19:56
Black_Magici remeber seeing something about selinux in my menu.lst...19:56
xtknightsudo apt-get install selinux-utils19:57
xtknightmaybe it is installed by default  dunno19:57

ikoniabullgard4: I've just got access to a machine with I think the same card as you and I'm trying to re-create it20:01
BluesKajderspankster, ok , so it's still the same as gutsy in terms of 64bit useability I'll bet20:02
derspanksterBluesKaj from what I can tell, yes20:03
BluesKajok thx20:03
xtknightBlack_Magic, oh i dunno20:06
Keulehi there - on my 8.04RC there is a problem with unmounted devices... when they mounted when i shutdown the comp - the folder will be set to root-rights - so everytime one new folder *-1 is set... can anybody help me?20:06
crimsunDanaG: nah, that can be done in the source for the hal-aware parts and the alsa parts20:06
Black_Magicwhens the stable release xtknight?20:06
DanaGBut it'd better be an option for the module-hal.20:06
crimsunDanaG: in the end, however, we should be avoiding dmix; we should fix pulseaudio and libflashsupport20:06
DanaGYeah.20:06
DanaGOh yeah, with the media player app quodlibet:  start pulseaudio. start app.  play something.  stop playing.  kill pulseaudio.  start pulseaudio.  start playback again -- app hangs and needs kill -9.20:07
peter77I'm having problems viewing a tv stream ever since updating to heron20:07

linasWow!  savvas recomendation of rebuilding xorg.conf followed by a session with nvidia-settings fixed almost all of the problems! This if fyi for tomd123, peter77, bazhang, derspankster and hyperair  This is like night-and-day -- X11 used to work before, now it works again, except this time, apps work too. Wow!20:12
DanaGHmm, how would I do that?20:12
DanaGThe gst-launch.20:12
peter77linas, lol20:13

pixelmonkeywith built-in 2.6.24 hibernate, does anyone know if I need to modify the arguments passed to the kernel to include a resume= argument or anything?  Hibernate seems to work fine, but instead of resuming upon reboot, it's just booting from scratch.20:19
rohanpixelmonkey: resume= is not usually needed20:20
linasderspankster, yes install nvidia-settings just a while ago.20:20
crimsunpixelmonkey: resume from suspend-to-disk is broken on a lot of hardware, but I have no idea what portion is regressions from previous, supported Ubuntu releases.20:20
peter77is it possible to install firefox 2 & 3 side by side>20:20
rohanpixelmonkey: but you could set the line as resume=/dev/path_to_swap20:20
crimsunpeter77: yes.20:20
peter77crimsun, how do I go about it without causing conflict?20:21
JediMasterhey guys, I'm desperately trying to find a firefox PDF reader plugin on AMD64, and I just can't find one, anyone got any ideas?20:21
crimsunpeter77: install firefox-2 and firefox-3.020:21
DanaGcrimsun: it seems like pause causes problems, but STOP doesn't.20:21
SeveredCrossJediMaster: What's wrong with Evince?20:21
crimsunDanaG: does quodlibet set the pipeline to NULL like banshee-2 does?20:22
peter77crimsun, ok so basically just install firefox 2 by synaptic as normal with 3 already installed?20:22
crimsunpeter77: sure, that will suffice20:22
DanaGI can't tell; how would I debug it?20:22
crimsunDanaG: you'd need to look in the quodlibet source20:22
DanaGI'll look.20:22
JediMasterSeveredCross: Never heard of it, does it work as a plugin in firefox?20:23
SeveredCrossJediMaster: Evince is the default PDF reader for Ubuntu..Why do you need a plugin so desparately? If you have Evince open, it'll just pop up a dialog when you go to open a PDF that says "Open With: Document Viewer" or something similar.20:23
SeveredCrossPDF plugins are just more likely to crash Firefox.20:23
taconehello, I read that hardy mounts disks with relatime as default. but I mine are not mounted with relatime in /etc/fstab. Shuold I do that manually ? Or is relatime specified elsewhere ?20:23
JediMasterSeveredCross: as I need to have a PDF displayed inline in the browser20:24
SeveredCrossYou can try installing Acrobat Reader (Package acroread, acroread-mozilla for the plugin), but I'm not sure that's in Hardy yet.20:24
DanaGOh, quodlibet is a big python script.20:24
DanaGIt uses pygst.20:24
BluesKajJediMaster, try foxit reader http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/desklinux/20:24
SeveredCrossNot quite sure what's a use case when you'd really NEED that, but Acrobat Reader is your best bet.20:24
SeveredCrossBluesKaj: He wants it to display in Firefox.20:24
SeveredCrossINstead of in an external app.20:25
SeveredCrossThat page suggests Foxit's reader for Linux doesn't do that.20:25
BluesKajoh , nm  ")20:25
jiphexYo, any idea why HAL could fail to start in the hardy rc livecd installer?20:25
JediMasterSeveredCross: It's for a web app that display extra controls above an inline PDF, so it needs to be able to display it inline, and yeah, there's no acroread-mozilla in hardy yet20:26
pixelmonkeyrohan, interestingly, by setting resume=/dev/<my_swap> as you suggested, suspend-to-disk works on my hardware.20:26
BluesKajand I was just considering DLing 64 bit Hardy20:26
pixelmonkeyrohan, not sure why it's not getting detected automatically.20:26
JediMasterBluesKaj: I wouldn't be in this situation if I wasn't using 64 bit Hardy20:26
JediMasternm lol20:26
SeveredCrossEh, why would it be detected automatically?20:26
SeveredCrossThe resume partition that is.20:26
rohanpixelmonkey: strange! but so much the better :)20:27
pixelmonkeySeveredCross, what do you mean?20:27
SeveredCrossThe kernel doesn't know where you put your swap...20:27
rohanSeveredCross: because it always is?20:27
SeveredCrossI think that's just some Ubuntu magic.20:27
DanaGThe installer should know where swap is, though.20:27
SeveredCrossMy Gentoo boxen don't do that.20:27
rohanSeveredCross: my ubuntu here does it.20:27
Rawk02crimson sun, still not taking it, recreated the cache and removed the setting from gconf-editor now it is just showing the Ubuntu icon20:27
pixelmonkeySeveredCross, uhm... so your suggestion is that a user should edit his menu.lst to get hibernate to work?20:27
SeveredCrossIn which case, it's just Ubuntu magic. :-)20:27
rohani've got not resume= line, yet hibernate works properly :D20:27
SeveredCrosspixelmonkey: Nope, just saying that that's a bit of Ubuntu magic that makes that work, not the kernel, at least IMO.20:28
pixelmonkeyrohan, my guess is that it has to do with my setup, anyway -- in feisty I used tuxonice.20:28
pixelmonkeySeveredCross, oh, I see.  I wasn't expecting it to be the kernel, but I think it's actually initramfs that's supposed to help there.  Mine was configured with a RESUME=<some_UUID>20:28
SeveredCrossinitramfs might be doing it, yes.20:28
SeveredCrossI know on Gentoo, you can compile in a default swap partition, but it's not going to be detected.20:29
pixelmonkeywhat's an easy way for me to check the UUID of a disk in /dev?20:29
SeveredCrosspixelmonkey: vol_id -u I think.20:29
mrunagirohan: n=on hardy?20:29
rohanpixelmonkey: cd /dev/disk/by-uuid/20:29
rohanmrunagi: i didn't get you.. n=on?20:29
mrunagion hardy?20:29
SeveredCrossvol_id --uuid /dev/sd[a-z] works too.20:29
pixelmonkeySeveredCross, yea, that did it.20:29
rohanmrunagi: no, i'm on 7.10 right now20:29
mrunagioh ok20:30
mrunagiim hoping hibernation will work for me on hardy20:30
SeveredCrossGraphics drivers seem to be crucial for hibernation to work fine.20:30
rohanmrunagi: which system is it?20:30
pixelmonkeySeveredCross, okay, yea, so this seems to be the problem.  My /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume file seems to have the wrong UUID20:30
mrunagihp dv6000t20:30
SeveredCrosspixelmonkey: Ah, that would do it.20:30
rohanmrunagi: have a look here -- http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/quirk-suspend-index.html20:30
pixelmonkeymrunagi, I'm on an HP DV2000 and hibernate/suspend work for me...20:30
mrunagipixelmonkey: out of the box?20:31
rohanmrunagi: ubuntu now uses HAL for managing suspend/resume20:31
pixelmonkeymrunagi, I know our hardware are pretty close.  Yes, out of box.20:31
rohanHAL and pm-utils, that is20:31
mrunagiit never worked for me20:31
pixelmonkeymrunagi, I was using tuxonice on prior Ubuntu versions, which worked for me.20:31
mrunagiwhat cpu, mobo chipset etc20:31
rohanpixelmonkey, mrunagi: both of you should check out if your systems are added here -- http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/quirk-suspend-check.html20:31
xtknight!hardy | Black_Magic20:31
ubotuBlack_Magic: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu20:31
xtknight4 days20:31
pixelmonkeyrohan, will do20:31
ankitI don't know why... but everything works in Hardy that didn't in Gutsy... and there's NO signs anywhere that it's intentional... but yay?20:32
mrunagi<match key="system.hardware.product" contains=" dv6000 ">?20:32
rohanok, dv6000 and dv2000 are both there20:32
rohanso it should work out of box20:32
pixelmonkeyrohan, wow, dv2000 says it has no quirks :-D20:32
pixelmonkeyrohan, impressive, since this damn laptop has had a lot of quirks, in my experience :-)20:32
rohancool ;)20:33
xtknighti have a dv2000 also20:33
rohanincidentally, the site is also great if you want to check out other things related to linux and laptops --> http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/20:33
mirakhi20:34
DanaGcrimsun: it seems quodlibet doesn't offer any easy way to debug.20:34
rohanpixelmonkey: hehe :D20:34
mirakwith gvfs I cannot acces to ~/.gvfs/ the mounts in it are unaccessible to my user, but with fuse they should since they should be run by my user since gnome is ran as my user20:35
Lunar_LampWhen I insert DVDs into my DVD drive my laptop believes them to be blank CDs.  CDs mount fine however. dmesg shows many errors, of the format shown here: http://pastebin.ca/991164 (briefly, seekcomplete error, lastfailedsense error, failed opcode)20:35
peter77I've installed firefox 2 and for some reason it isn't recognising the installed vlc plugin??20:35
pixelmonkeyquestion about initramfs... so if I want to update this with the right UUID for hibernate, all I need to do is edit the file and run update-initramfs -u, right?20:36
rohanLunar_Lamp: does the same dvd work in windows? on other systems?20:36
Lunar_Lamprohan: yes20:37
rohanpixelmonkey: i think you need to set it somewhere first20:37
Lunar_Lamprohan: it affects all DVDs that I;'ve tried on this system :-)20:37
pixelmonkeyrohan, set it?20:37
pixelmonkeyrohan, set the UUID you mean?  Yea, I think I do that in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume20:37
rohanpixelmonkey: yes, i meant that.. you're good to go then20:37
pixelmonkeygonna give this a shot, we'll see how it goes20:38
philip_how do I enable emerald themes? (I've installed emerald and imported a theme, but nothing happens)20:38
rohanpixelmonkey: should work20:38
rohanpixelmonkey: actually, here that conf file was automatically configured for me - i think the installer does that20:39
rohanLunar_Lamp: strange.. did it work in 7.10?20:39
pixelmonkeyrohan, right, but I did an upgrade, so maybe it never got touched.20:39
rohanpixelmonkey: ah, that should explain it20:39
Lunar_Lamprohan: yes20:39
Rawk02ok I have replaced distributor-logo.png in 22x22 48x48 and distributor.svg under scalabe, deleted icon theme.cache recreated the cache and restarted gnome-panel...still nothing, the only way I can get a result is to change in gconf-editor but that gives me the placeholder and not the png i want20:39
pixelmonkeysorry to keep bugging about hibernate/suspend... but one last thing.  There's basically no feedback while suspending/hibernating or resuming.  Is there a way to enable some feedback with the out-of-box suspend/resume, like a progress bar or even basic log output?20:40
rohanLunar_Lamp: i think you should file a kernel bug.20:40
pixelmonkeyrohan, btw, the initramfs stuff worked -- awesome!20:40
rohanpixelmonkey: tuxonice can do that, but plain suspend resume using pm-utils, sadly, can't20:40
pixelmonkeythanks also to SeveredCross20:41
pixelmonkeyrohan, okay, that is a pity.  I'm going to give the built-in suspend/hibernate a try for a few days, and see if it gives any trouble.20:41
pixelmonkeyso far, it's been working.20:41
rohanpixelmonkey: it should work, seeing that your system is there in the hal list20:41
Lunar_Lamprohan: hmm, I just tried another random DVD and that worked - I cannot see a pattern as to which work/don't work.20:42
rohanLunar_Lamp: tried cleaning your head?20:42
rohani mean, the head of the cd/dvd drive :-s20:42
Lunar_Lamprohan: no, it's a laptop slot-loader :-/20:42
rohanouch20:43
GNUtoohello, there will be selinux in hardy heron...but there is also app-armor...i know that selinux is more secure...but at the policy level which one is better?20:43
rohanGNUtoo: why do you say selinux is more secure?20:43
Lunar_Lamprohan: OK. "Amazing Grace" does not work.  "Sunshine" does.  When a disc fails, DMA gets turned off and has to be turned on again. I can't see any difference between teh DVDs though.20:44
lz1gjdcould anyone tell me how to connect to a vpn in hardy rc , pls ?20:44
bullgard4ikonia: This machine is using the modules 8139cp and 8139too.20:44
GNUtoorohan, because there are papers on the comparison between both and selinux apeared to be more secure...but i don't remember the details20:44
anhdepyeuHi, I just installed from 8.04-beta "alternate" CD, text-based install, partitioned "Guided, LVM encrypted", and everything went OK, until it reports that it can't install GRUB to /target/ (I retried a couple of times).  The logs (http://pastebin.ca/991170) look to me to show something amiss regarding the grub package.  Could anyone have a look at that log and give me an idea?20:44
rohanLunar_Lamp: all of them worked out of box in 7.10 right?20:45
ikoniabullgard4: thank you20:45
Lunar_Lamprohan: aye, but I haven't used a DVD in a while and have had 8.04 on here for >2months, so I can't be sure it's a HW not SW issue.20:45
bullgard4ikonia: The trouble refelects in dmesg output.20:45
bullgard4reflects20:46
rohanLunar_Lamp: you've got any other os you can test on?20:46
Lunar_Lamprohan: no :-(20:46
lz1gjdi tried installing networkmanager-gnome-pptp20:46
lz1gjdbut cant see any vpn setting20:46
zsircusr.20:46
ikonia bullgard4 you have information from dmesg that is worth note ?20:46
rohanLunar_Lamp: not even windows? :o20:46
=== zsircusr is now known as bicyclistmobile
Lunar_Lamprohan: nope, I've been 100% linux for a couple of years now :-/20:47
GNUtoodoes all applications in ubuntu have a policy on both app-armor and selinux?20:47
bullgard4ikonia: dmesg output includes the lines: "eth0: link up, 100 Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1; NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out; eth0: Transmit timeout, status 0c 0005 c07f media 10.; eth0: Tx queue start entry 4 dirty entry 0.; eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is 0008a03c.

DShepherdwhat version of Openoffice.org is going to be included in hardy heron?20:48
Perunhow I can setup the timezone permanently? (have installed with debootstrap)20:48
rohanLunar_Lamp: it's a good thing, except you've got no way of testing right now :(20:49
Lunar_Lamprohan: aye20:49
bullgard4DShepherd: versio 2.420:49
DShepherdbullgard4, thanks20:49
ikoniabullgard4 thats very interesting, the most interesting part is that after the reset the link is brought backup, yet from your comments earlier dhcp cannto be reached. An interesting test would be, once the card is reset in this manner, try assiging an IP address manually and see if it can talk to the network20:49
anhdepyeuNo ideas on http://pastebin.ca/991170 ?20:50
lz1gjdcould anyone tell me how to connect to a vpn in hardy rc , pls ?20:51
bullgard4ikonia: No, I am not going to do that. Setting an IP address by hand would destroy the dhcp mechanism20:51
Lunar_Lamplz1gjd: left click on the network manager icon in the system tray>vpn connections>configure vpn20:51
ikoniabullgard4: it shouldn't do, you just use ifconfig to set an ip address, after reboot it would go back to dhcp20:51
lz1gjdi cant see that icon that is the problem20:52
ikoniabullgard4: as long as you don't touch the itnerface file, nothing is changed on a perm basis20:52
lz1gjdi have a suggestion to the ubuntu developers, why is the ndiswrapper not on the install cd ?20:52
Lunar_Lamplz1gjd: ah, then network manager isn't running for some reason...20:52
ikonialz1gjd: because it's not ubuntu software, and it's not up to ubuntu to provide windows driver compatability20:52
lz1gjdnot the driver20:52
ikonialz1gjd: I back %150 ndiswrapper being left out of the cd20:52
lz1gjdonly the tool20:52
ikoniayes so it's not an ubuntu component20:53
lz1gjdaha, what a pity :( its really confusing trying to set up a connection when you only have a wifi ap to connect to, it would be so much easier, now i have to connect via ethernet just to download thee packages20:53
anhdepyeulz1gjd: why do you think you need it?  There are open drivers of one sort or another for many of the chipsets that used to require it.20:54
lz1gjdanyway20:54
lz1gjdwell in my case the open driver does not work ;(20:54
sielnt_hey, I'm looking for a package called "libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2". Can some one tell me where I might find this package?20:55
ikoniasielnt_: should be in the dc client20:55
ikoniasielnt_: although I don't think anything in hardy is linked against glibc2.220:55
sielnt_ikonia: it's for an application that needs a library in that package20:58
ikoniasielnt_: what application, what ubuntu version are you using ?20:59
sielnt_ikonia: dc client?20:59
sielnt_ikonia: it's a game emulator plugin, I'm running hardy20:59
broonsparrowhello. dunno if this is the place to leave fixes as well as bugs, but i've had problems with running 7.10 on an advent laptop - the screen didn't work unless there was a cable plugged into the video out socket, with Haron it seems to work fine - dunno why but it works!20:59
ikoniasielnt_: thats a gcc package, my mistake20:59
ikoniasielnt_: I doubt it will work on hardy due to hardy being linked against glibc2.420:59
sielnt_ikonia: I'm getting "libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"21:00
ikoniasielnt_: the file is not there or in the linker cache21:00
ikoniasielnt_: if your on hardy, mostlikley not there21:00
sielnt_ikonia: is there any way to get the file? it wouldn't mess with anything else since nothing else uses it right?21:01
ikoniasielnt_: wrong21:01
Tyczekam I only one person, which Xv output isn't working on hh (using latest fglrx)21:01
ikoniasielnt_: it's a compiler library, so your compiler that told to look in that directory would find it21:01
ikoniasielnt_: as your using a 2.4 glibc anything linked agaisnt it would probably not run any how21:02
ikoniasielnt_: putting it on your system stand alone may/may not cause problems dependong on how it's setup21:02
sielnt_wonderful21:02
ikoniasielnt_: but as your missing the rest of glibc2.2 I doubt you'd have any luck with it21:02
ikonia(personal opinion)21:02
sielnt_ikonia: would gutsy work?21:04
filthpig_hiya, I have an ironic kind of problem: When I partitioned my hdd a few months ago, I wanted / to be small, so that I could dedicate as much space as possible to my /home partition. When I now try to dist-upgrade to hardy, I get a message claiming "not enough space on disk", because the /tmp folder is on the / partition and I only have approx. 1 gb free space there...... is there some way to tell the upgrade tool to use a folder on my /home21:04
ikoniasielnt_:  I'm %99 certain gutsy is 2.4 too21:04
ikoniasielnt_: I think 6.10 was the last one with 2.2 stuff in, although I'm not even sure on that21:04
* sielnt_ facepalms21:04
Lunar_Lampfilthpig_: have you done a "sudo aptitude clean" yet? It deletes all the downloaded packages etc (not uninstalls them, but just deletes the deb files)21:08
Lunar_LampIt doesn't affect your system, unless you want to install teh same pacakge without downloading the information again.21:08
nikolamHi. I wanted to compile OpenOffice 2.4 from source taken from Hardy, but it seems that *.dsc file is unavailable: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/openoffice.org  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org_2.4.0-3ubuntu2.dsc Should I report this as a bug?21:08
pixelmonkeyhey, I'm using an nvidia display card and when I go to System -> Screen Resolution, it says "The X Server does not support XRandR extension." and it can't open.  How do I enable this extension?21:09
askandIs there any difference between installing from a live cd or from an alternate?21:09
jacksterhey people21:09
Jaymacaskand: from an alternate cd you have the old ncurses installer as opposed to ubiquity21:10
jacksteranyone know how to get vmware-tools to install properly in hardy?21:10
linaspixelmonkey, try nstalling & runing nvidia-settings -- it fixed a lot of things for me today.21:10
pixelmonkeylinas, ah, okay, let me try that21:10
coz_askand, well as far as I know the difference is in the procedure and the alternate is used for systems that may have less than 256 megs of memory but   there may be other reasons as well21:10
askandJaymac: is therefore installation different in any way? (beside graphics of course)21:10
icanhasSo does this officially become the ibex channel on the 24th/25th? :D21:11
Jaymacaskand: you don't lose any functionality, no21:11
rohanicanhas: yes, though not that soon i guess21:11
Zoemgood morning :)21:11
Jaymacicanhas: probably not for a week or two21:11
rohanicanhas: people still need to party first :D21:11
jacksterI keep getting messages which indicate that it couldn't properly compile the modules for the likes of file sharing or networking and memory management, and I should make sure I have binutils, gcc and the kernel source even though I have those things installed21:11
Jaymacaskand: the text-installer is more suitable for lower spec hardware21:11
icanhasWOoo! party!21:12
Zoemfor todays interesting thing: my mouse buttons 6-8 have stopped being recognized21:12
icanhasZoem: that's a lot of mouse buttons.21:12
derspanksterthat's a lot of buttons21:12
Zoemicanhas: 1: left click 2: right click 3: middle click 4: scroll down 5: scroll up21:13
askand Jaymac:  I see thanks21:13
Zoem6 should be tilt left, 7 tilt right, and 8 side button21:13
Zoemits actually only 8 I'm worried about21:13
bullgard4ikonia: It seems that the computer accepted my command "~$sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.178.22" because "~$ip addr" obtains: "eth0: <BROADCAST, MULTICAST, UP, LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 ...; inet 192.168.178.22/24 brd 192.168.178.25 scope global eth0."21:13

magnus|mscis there a known bug, which only detects 88MB of ram ??21:14
Zoemderspankster: if you have a scroll wheel, you already have more21:14
derspanksterZoem: true, I do have a scroll wheel21:14
Zoemso, the question is... why isn't xev reporting my side button?21:15
Zoemor, does a button need to have mapping in xorg.conf to be recognized in xev?21:15
derspanksterZoem: it seems to me that you can configure your mouse in xorg but I've never done anything but emulate a 3 button21:17
lz1gjdi have point to point connection in the gnome network manager is this for VPN ? i'd like to connect through vpn to an edimax ap21:17
lz1gjdcould anyone point me a solution21:18
Zoemderspankster: the funny thing is... my xorg.conf has changed... it correctly listed my mouse (by model!) before... but after kernel update, and reinstalling video drivers, it has the wrong mouse21:18
Micrllok, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get mythTV working21:18

pixelmonkeylinas, uninstalled xserver-xgl, and all is well again21:20
bullgard4ikonia: I need to go to bed now.21:20
coz_guys out of curiosity.. has the ability to disable Recent Documents been implimented in hardy ?21:20
derspanksterZoem: that's interesting 2.6.24-16 did that?21:21

whatnextfiles21:30
adincZoem: can qemu also emulate 8086? or later?21:30
PeloMicrll, can you open that launcher in  alacarte and tell me what the command is ?21:30
Zoemadinc: umm... I think so?21:30
Micrllpelo: have no clue how to do that, this is my first main linux install21:31

Pelowhatnext, ntfs write is now wholy reliable , I woudln't trust it , in fact I don't21:31
jojo4upelo, whatnext, ntfs-3g has proven pretty reliable, afaik21:32
PeloMicrll, menu > system > prefs > main menu ,  it's an editor for the menu,   look for the entry for printers under admin, toward the bottom   rigth click to opeen and copy the command for me21:32
Alenhelo i have problem with atheros card on RC i cannot setup it,when i open network settings they not alloved me to edit my wireless preferenc21:32
whatnextPelo - Thought so - just as easy to start in Windows and copy files to thumb drive - resart into Hardy then copy em over - thanks for tip.21:33
Pelojojo4u, i've had problems with it , I don't do it any more I prefer using a small vfat partiton to transfer stuff , safer21:33
Micrllok sure21:33
Pelowhatnext,  I made a small fat32 partiton accessible from both to do that21:33
Micrllpelo: usr/bin/system-config-printer21:34
jojo4upelo, what were the problems?21:34
PeloMicrll, thanks,  mine was still at  gnome-cups-manager21:34

Micrllso wait is NTFS write enabled by default or only read?21:35
Peloonly read by default21:35
Micrllcool21:35
Micrllwhen I installed this yesterday at the install fest I debated with some of the guys over writing to NTFS21:36
MicrllI decided to make a 5gb FAT32 partition to share between linux and windows21:36
Micrllas a common file repository21:36
whatnextPelo: Aw - it's becoming clearer now - I remember now a FAT 32 is easy enough and more linux friendly way of doing this - Great! I have a great little boot cd called Boot-It NG that is real easy to use. Will just make a little 5GB part. or so - should be fine huh?21:36
PeloMicrll, it's not a garantied fail , but I had trouble so now I avoid it , I don' tneed to do it all that much anyway21:36
Micrlloh I understand, I have gotten NTFS writting on my mac working in the past21:37
adincZoem: qemu emulates a machine architecture, i would need an assembler development environment21:37
Micrllbut its buggy21:37
Pelowhatnext, you can do that with gparted, from inside ubuntu if you can manage to unmount your ntfs partiton21:37
MicrllIf I can read from the partition thats enough, but FAT32 is incase I want to send files to and from21:38

topylinikolam: okay, but it surprises me that gnu java is suddenly better than sun's :\22:58
Symmetriathe releases for ubuntu are generally a lot heavier on our mirror than the firefox releases, but I think thats because firefox has FAR more mirrors and uses a distribution system to distribute to them22:58
goodhabitWrong button.22:58

scizzo-julie: did you logout and in again to be sure?23:35
juliescizzo-: yes23:35
akkwhat's the right cmdline (non-gui) way to upgrade from gutsy to hardy? I'm having trouble finding a straight answer with google.23:35
JediMasterHey all, I'm just trying to install the RC and straight after selecting install from the cd menu, I'm getting a kernel panic. I installed an earlier beta (but amd64 instead of i386) and had no problems23:35
VSpikecvd-pr: 3000+ = 2000MHz, but 3200+ = 2000MHz also23:36
scizzo-julie: type: locale in a terminal and then put it in pastebin23:36
LaibschHi, I upgraded a dapper installation to hardy and now "reboot" does nothing.I get an error "shutdown: Unable to send message: Connection refused"23:36
LaibschThis is as root23:36
chrisasMiineti, lsusb is better i think23:36
scizzo-julie: also be sure that english is actually choosen as default23:36
Miinetik23:36
akkI have a program called do-release-upgrade which I think I used for feisty-gutsy, but it has no man page23:36
VSpikecvd-pr: also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Athlon_XP_microprocessors23:36
JediMastergetting: ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC        then "Kernel panic - not syncing IO-APIC + timer doesn't work"23:36
Miinetithat just gives me information i dont understand :)23:36
ubuntuROXHey guys, If I have been running the beta and doing all the updates, is there anything else I can do besides a full re-install to get the RC, or will the package manager do the update for me?23:37
chrisasJediMaster,  you could try #linux , i you find no one here23:37
nosrednaekimubuntuROX: its all done in the updates23:37
juliehttp://pastebin.com/m7ee2eaf423:37
soccrimsun: hi ...23:37

chrisasJediMaster,  i had to tweak the bios too , to get 8gb working23:38
sockilling and starting pulseaudio:23:38

chrisasif its only one line , yes (the line which shows your fritz stick)23:40
socseems to be something with pulseaudio ...23:40
scizzo-julie: ouch....I don't know much about KDE23:40
spiderfirewhich is your favorite dwm style wm?23:41
scizzo-julie: I belive there is a kubuntu channel that might help you.....23:41
juliewell thats a f up23:41
lilkreenanyone know how to fix a laptop's shimmering LCD monitor?23:42
juliescizzo-: thats what  I believed too23:42
=== Hydrogone is now known as Hydrogen
spiderfirelilkreen: shimmering?23:42
lilkreenIt's blinking everything imperceptibly in any resolution23:42
lilkreenthe monitor doesn't have any technical info I know of23:43
spiderfirelilkreen: do you mean its split up also?23:43
chrisasMiineti, paste only one line please23:43
chrisasor you need to use the "pastebin" website23:43
scizzo-julie: well like I said I am not 100% sure....however it can be that the menu and stuff in KDE is reading from another system...for example the stuff that is included with KDE...however I am not sure23:43
spiderfirelilkreen: what laptop?23:43
lilkreenno it looks fine it's just blinking everything like an old flourecent tube23:43
Miinetichrisas: in the first line tsays: Bus 005 Device 008: ID [0x] AVM GmbH WLAN USB v1.1 well, thats pretty much of no help for my connection, aint it? :D23:43
lilkreeneverex VA2001T23:43
scizzo-julie: the terminal itself should read from locale...and so you can set different in terminal and X I belive...23:44
alphakampHello need to submit bug report, but figured i would come here first, my latitude 110l doesnt turn the screen back on after opening the lid23:44
cwillulilkreen, it could actually be the backlight (which is often a fluorescent tube)23:44
Hydrogenwow... it didn't take firefox long to copy that feature from opera!23:44
cwilluwhich?23:44
lilkreenwell it works fine in the vista that came with it23:44
sparr_ctwo serious problems with my hardy upgrade.  one was expected, i have to mess with the nvidia driver again.  the other unexpected and i am lost...  i cant connect to the network via my atheros wifi card.  knetworkmanager and nm-applet dont even see wireless.  wlassistant sees the AP and tries to connect, no dice.  ifconfig and iwconfig seem to work properly.  dhclient gives me a lot of "SIOCSIF*: Permission denied" errors and23:44
Miinetias far as my nooby self understands it, the drivers (which are on the stick) are pretty windows dependent23:45
juliescizzo-: sorry did you ask me to do somehting23:45
chrisasMiineti, do you get an ID ? like : Bus 005 Device 008: ID 046d:c018 Logitech, Inc. , you can google for this ID23:45
Miinetiyep, i do23:45
spiderfirelilkreen: dont know about that really23:45
Hydrogenthe site titles of pages in the dropdown23:45
scizzo-julie: no just informing you how to proceed with error testing23:45
* Miineti googles23:46
teamcobradoes anyone know what is going on with the b43 drivers in the newer (port .24-12) kernels? modprobing them doesnt produce _any_ dmesg output, makes it kind of hard to diagnose23:46
TheOriginalRippehmm didnt think i would be back so soon , anybody else having problems with firefox not loading home page and instead showing about:blank? even though its set to eg google.com?23:46
teamcobraport/post23:46
cwilluHydrogen, not following?23:46
lilkreenI wonder if the openchrome drivers would fix it, pity they die horribly on this laptop, heh.23:46
chrisasMiineti, first you have to know what exotic hardware this is, then you can look for the driver, if it would be common it would work out of the box, seems you got bad luck with this one23:46
Hydrogencwillu: when typing a url into the location bar it now shows the title of the site in addition to the url23:46
Hydrogenopera had added that a while back, and apparently firefox did like it always does and took it posthaste!23:47
alphakampAnyone having trouble with laptops lids23:47
chrisasMiineti, Fritz Hardware Sticks have all sorts of hardware in them, just what was the cheapest @ that time23:47
cwilluthat's a good 8 months old, just hasn't been in the released version23:47
jimmygoonAnyone else's thunderbird icon look awful in avant-window-navigator?23:47
cwilluhydroboy, not that there's anything wrong with using good ideas, no?23:47
_Rambaldi_video appears to be blocky when horizontal panning in fullscreen, why is this and how can i get rid of this. my card is nvidia23:47
TheOriginalRippei changed the look of all my icons lol so no idea on that23:47
Hydrogencwillu: When all your ideas have come from others....23:47
Miinetichrisas: thanks23:48
chrisasMiineti,  :-( bad start it seems23:48
Miinetiand how do i manage that? :D23:48
Miinetii knew, that'd happen, this avm stuff is just overpriced crap :S23:48
lilkreenalphakamp: the only trouble I have on this one is if it suspends with the lid open it doesn't respond to the touchpad, heh.23:48
cwilluHydrogen, nevermind I asked, welcome to my ignore file23:48
Miinetieverythin else works so perfectly, i nearly cant believe it :)23:49
chrisasMiineti,  read carefully on the stick (especially small fonts) and google for it23:49
chrisasMiineti,  i must be something exotic23:49
Miinetieven the graca23:49
Miinetinope, nothin small written on it23:49
Miinetionly name, name of company and MAC23:49
alphakamplilkreen: I will have to submit a bug report i guees23:50
teamcobrawhy not do a lsusb23:50
teamcobrato find the exact hardware id23:50
cwilluteamcobra, what brokenness are you seeing?  They work fine on my box after I installed b43-fwcutter, and removed the hackery I had done in gutsy to make it work23:50
poseidonI have been trying to set up my wireless adapter to work in kubuntu with the guide given to me at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400236  I did all the steps, and got this http://pastebin.com/m58bbc68f23:50
chrisasMiineti,  do you know german ? : http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/FRITZ!WLAN_USB_Stick , but the looking @ the description it sucks23:51
poseidonIt says that I should have a connection after that, but I don't.23:51
Miinetichrisas, yea, i do23:51
teamcobracwillu: I have a bcm4311 rev02. b43 works fine, no probs in 2.6.24-12. If I use any later kernel than that, the b43 module doesn;t actually do anything23:51
Miinetiand next time ask me first :P23:51
Miineti;)23:52
cwilluposeidon, that doesn't sound like a hardy guide23:52
teamcobramodprobing it returns no output, the light stays orange, and dmesg returns _nothing_ related to b4323:52
Miinetibut they dont write bout hardy23:52
teamcobrawhich means the module is there, but when loaded.... well, it doesn;t _really_ do anything23:52
chrisasMiineti, do you run 8.04 ? try to start "jockey-gtk" if you have the usb stick in23:52
poseidoncwillu, how do I get it to work in 8.04 then?23:53
ampexMiineti: trying to make a usb wifi device work?23:53
sparrignore sparr_c's problem23:53
lilkreenif the device has a FCC ID listed on it you might be able to get some info from here: https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm23:53
Miinetiwhere the heck is the - on the english keyboard?23:53
chrisasMiineti, http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/restricted-manager23:53
sparrdist-upgrade was non-obviously interrupted23:53
Miinetiampex: yep23:53
sparrfor future reference...  DO NOT REBOOT mid-dist-upgrade23:53
jbroomeduh23:53
ampexoh, right, bad idea23:53
icanhassparr23:53
icanhasI did it once, was fun23:54
jbroomestaring at the sun is also a bad idea23:54
cwilluposeidon, first, burn a live cd and check that it doesn't just work out of the box now (I've only played with one rt71, but it Just Worked in hardy)23:54
ampexit's almost as bad as powering down when you're doing a firmware upgrade23:54
alphakampsparr: i had to on both off my upgrades23:54
sparrthis is the third time ive done it, i think23:54
sparrever23:54
sparrbut this time i didnt know!23:54
cwilluteamcobra, but it still works if you boot into the older kernel?23:54
sparri thought it was done23:54
chrisasMiineti, you have to run it with -c or -u (to update the list)23:54
teamcobracwillu: I;ve never ever had a problem troubleshooting a driver in linux until now.... and only because _there is no dmesg output (!? whose idea was this?)23:54
teamcobracwillu: precisely23:54
sparri lost HAL!23:54
sparrthat was the scariest part23:54
chrisassparr,  :-)23:54
poseidoncwillu, It didn't work on the livecd when I tried23:54
akklosing HAL is a good thing :)23:55
* Miineti doesnt find -23:55
sparrno HAL means no /disk/by-UUID means no automount means no /home!23:55
lilkreenheh, hal doesn't even interface the brightness with anything on my laptop, they haven't fixed it yet after breaking it patches ago23:55
Danish9893 days left till ubuntu 8.04! woohoo!23:55
sparrso now im waiting for some fraction of 2350 packages to [re]configure  :)23:56
teamcobracwillu, I also made sure the backport modules weren;t installed23:56
chrisassparr,  that did not work for me because some of the packages fail on reconfigure , but if you upgrade they same "continuing because distribution  upgrade is in progress"23:56
peter77I were watching a flash video stream in fullscreen and ubuntu froze and all of a sudden the fans went mental, this has happend before23:56
ampexpeter77: your cpu/gpu is overheating?23:57
akkpeter77: Sometimes top can tell you which process went crazy23:57
akk(if you have enough control left to get a terminal and type top, that is)23:57
sparrwhen i built this PC, i went for low weight.  aluminum case, cheap fans, small heat sinks.23:58
sparrnext time, im going for quiet23:58
sparrinsulated walls, huge heat sinks, large heavy expensive quiet fans23:58
chrisasi go for aqua next time23:58
joshjoshi updated and now my sound is compeltely distorted23:58
joshjoshany ideas?23:58
sparrok, fun apt-vs-gui question23:59
chrisasjoshjosh, not really :-(23:59
sparri do all my package management from the command line, and have debconf turned really paranoid23:59
sparrbut, for normal users...23:59
