[00:00] <jonpackard> secondly.. install guest additions BEFORE you install any updates.. not sure why but it seems to work better
[00:00] <esac> jonpackard: i just uninstalled virtualbox in favor of vmware as windows xp seems to be doing better in vmware
[00:03] <jonpackard> I've been wanting to try KVM.. but i think it requires AMD or Intel CPU virtualization support.. which I don't have =(
[00:16] <esac> i tried kvm as well, and had a few more stability problems than even virtualbox
[00:17] <esac> the only thing i havent tried is xen as this is on my laptop and i want compiz/nvidia driver support which doesnt work with the xen kernels
[00:21] <jonpackard> that reminds me.. the nvidia-glx-new module fails to load and the official NVidia installed fails with the message that the kernel in use is a Xen kernel.. weird
[00:22] <jonpackard> i have yet to get 3d accel with my 8600GT in intrepid.. thinking about trying the nouveau driver
[00:23] <jonpackard> d'oh i just checked.. Nouveau 3D accel is still in early delevopment.. I thought it was further along =(
[00:24] <esac> jonpackard: its telling you that it is a xen kernel on the generic kernel ?
[00:25] <jonpackard> yep
[00:26] <jonpackard> jon@jon-desktop:~$ uname -r
[00:26] <jonpackard> 2.6.26-2-generic
[00:37] <RAOF> jonpackard: Not only is nouveau 3d accel in early development, support for your 8600gt is in early development.
[00:37] <RAOF> Well, the "early development" isn't quite right; it's works reasonably for me, some of the time.
[00:38] <RAOF> But nv5x is very different to all the previous cards, and support is not so good for them.
[00:39] <RAOF> !nouveau | jonpackard you can try nouveau with the following, but don't expect it to be any better than the nv driver for you
[00:40] <jonpackard> thanks!
[00:45] <jonpackard> raof: I might be a bit off topic here, but when I try to install nouveau from that repo, apt cannot find the package linux-nouveau-modules
[00:45] <jonpackard> any suggestions?
[00:45] <RAOF> jonpackard: Run "sudo module-assistant auto-install drm-modules" first.
[00:45] <RAOF> jonpackard: That'll build the linux-nouveau-modules package for your current kernel.
[00:48] <jonpackard> I might be in over my head here.. having trouble with that command.. here's the error
[00:48] <jonpackard> debian/rules:12: /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make: No such file or directory    ↑
[00:48] <jonpackard>  │ make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/share/quilt/quilt.make'.  Stop.
[00:49] <RAOF> Bah!  I need to fix that!
[00:49] <RAOF> sudo aptitude install quilt.
[00:50] <RAOF> That'll fix that problem.  SOrry.
[00:52] <G_009> is this nouveaux the precursor to how ibex will integrate 3d accel or just an option?
[00:54] <jonpackard> I'm sure RAOF can give u a better answer but in short it is just an option...
[00:55] <RAOF> G_009: It's unlikely (but possibly) that nouveau will be available in Intrepid.
[00:55] <RAOF> Furthermore, even if nouveau gets into intrepid, there is absolutely no chance that it will accelerate 3d out of the box.
[00:56] <RAOF> (Current status of 3d on nouveau is "maybe it works, no developer wants to hear if it doesn't").
[00:56] <G_009> 10-4  it makes for an interesting read too
[00:57] <jonpackard> thanks RAOF.. istalling nouveau now.. I'll let you know how it works for me =)
[00:57] <RAOF> If the needed infrastructure makes it into Intrepid I'll try to get nouveau in, too.  Not because it does 3d, but because it's a _much_ better 2D driver than the 'nv' driver.
[00:58] <RAOF> At least for < nv5x (Geforce 8/9).
[00:58] <RAOF> In many ways it's a better 2d driver than the nvidia driver, too.
[00:58] <jonpackard> just curious.. what improvements are there?
[01:01] <jonpackard> brb.. restarting x to give nouveau a shot =)
[01:04] <RAOF> Hm.  That looks ominous.
[01:05] <G_009> "attempt fail: proceed to autodestruct"
[01:06] <RAOF> jonpackard: No joy?
[01:06] <esac> nouveau would be an interesting time to add support for direct graphics support for virtual machines
[01:06] <jonpackard> I'm running nouveau now.. still getting the occasional black flicker like I was getting with the nv driver.. vesa driver did not have this problem
[01:07] <RAOF> I'm not sure what you mean by 'black flicker'.  Unless it's the full-screen black flash that happens when I run compiz+nvidia.
[01:07] <RAOF> Also, I'm pretty sure I mentioned that your card isn't in the nouveau sweet-spot.  It's great that it's working, though :)
[01:08] <G_009> "luck" is what they call it
[01:08] <jonpackard> it happens whenever I load a program or get a pop-up notification
[01:08] <RAOF> I think you've actually got a bit of kernel-modesetting on your nv5x, actually.  I'm not sure how much of that's actually hooked up, though :).
[01:09] <G_009> the presentation did not address virtual machines at all .. you're out of "luck"
[01:09] <RAOF> jonpackard: As in: the window pops filled with garbage that quickly disappears?
[01:09] <jonpackard> nope.. the whole screen has a very fast black flicker
[01:10] <RAOF> Woah.
[01:10] <jonpackard> im having the exact same issue with nv driver (in intrepid only)
[01:11] <RAOF> Hm.  I'd file a bug against the nv driver, and probably nouveau as well.
[01:11] <jonpackard> I'd like to get my nvidia driver working so I can find out if it does the same thing too
[01:12] <RAOF> There's a patch on ubuntuforums which should allow you to build the nvidia kernel module.
[01:13] <jonpackard> cool thanks for the tip =)
[01:14] <RAOF> Oh, and the advantages of nouveau: on < nv5x you get - faster 2d than nvidia, and XRandR 1.2 support.
[01:15] <RAOF> On nv5x/nv6x you get... currently nothing, really.  nouveau doesn't yet have good 2d accel on nv5x, and nv does XRandR1.2 on nv5x also.
[01:23] <jonpackard> patch for nvidia (intrepid) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833633&highlight=nvidia
[01:23] <jonpackard> installing now.. brb =)
[03:12] <aib> i'm trying to mix some intrepid packages with hardy. i added APT::Default-Release "stable"; to apt.conf and added the main intrepid repo to my sources.list, then ran apt-get -t intrepid install hello, but it still grabs hello from hardy. i followed the debian guide as much as possible http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html
[03:20] <lastent> hi, where can I upload my bugs for the alpha1?
[03:21] <RAOF> lastent: Launchpad.net, same as anything else.
[03:22] <lastent> RAOF, I though it qas qa.ubuntu.com
[03:23] <RAOF> lastent: Do you mean "Where do I document alpha1 install issues", or "Where do I file bugs against programs in Ubuntu"?
[03:24] <lastent> RAOF, bugs against programs in an alpha version
[03:24] <RAOF> Launchpad.net.
[03:24] <lastent> RAOF, ok
[03:25] <RAOF> qa.ubuntu.com is only for checking that the CDs work - that you can actually install from them.
[03:26] <lastent> RAOF, ok thanks
[03:38] <bri-h> I've been working on a strange sound problem and finally figured out how to fix it.  Unfortunately, I have to killall pulseaudio to get sound from flashplugin-nonfree in ff3 or opera.  Here's my question though.  I've been monkeying around with all my sound related packages quite a bit.  Is there a way to get back to the baseline install without a complete reinstall?  I just want to make sure when pulse is fixed, I'll know it.  Sh
[04:29] <jonpackard> molgrum: you asked earlier about the nouveau driver.. I was able to install it in Intrepid but had the same black screen flicker issue that I had with nv
[04:43] <jonpackard> Bug 245290 updated with new back trace.. I think I got all the symbol packages this time.
[04:43] <kristjan_> that's neat. bug 13
[04:43] <kristjan_> bu 1337
[04:43] <kristjan_> bug 1337
[04:43] <RAOF> jonpackard: Incidentally, have you filed that nv bug?
[04:44] <kristjan_> bug 666
[04:45] <jonpackard> not as of yet.. thanks for reminding me =)
[04:45] <kristjan_> I kinda asked the same question yesterday: will intrepid come with xorg 1.5?
[04:48] <jonpackard> my intrepid is running xorg version 1:7.3+12ubuntu2.. not sure what the colon means
[04:48] <kristjan_> jonpackard: that's not xorg version, this is package numbering
[04:48] <jonpackard> ahh thanks.. how do I check the xorg version?
[04:49] <kristjan_> jonpackard: let me think, I have no idea
[04:49] <kristjan_> jonpackard: try this: xdpyinfo | grep X.Org
[04:51] <jonpackard> that seems to have done it.. X.Org version: 1.4.0.90
[04:51] <kristjan_> jonpackard: so it's same right now as in hardy
[04:55] <RAOF> kristjan_: Yes.  1.5 is currently being merged.
[04:56] <RAOF> kristjan_: You may have noticed libdrm 2.3.1 today?  That's the base of the stack needed to get 1.5 in Intrepid.
[04:56] <RAOF> (Next up is Mesa 7.1)
[04:57] <kristjan_> RAOF: do you know if we will have a change to install novueau driver instead of nv?
[05:08] <RAOF> kristjan_: You won't get the nouveau driver without extra work.
[05:09] <RAOF> kristjan_: At the moment, you can get the nouveau driver from my PPA - it's not in Ubuntu proper.  Intrepid _may_ (although this is unlikely) get new enough infrastructure for us to include Nouveau in Ubuntu proper, but it certainly isn't right now.
[05:11] <jonpackard> Reported bug about nv and nouveau drivers causing screen flickers: bug 245383
[05:17] <kristjan_> RAOF: oh well, too bad.
[05:19] <RAOF> It's still possible that we'll be able to pull nouveau into Intrepid; just unlikely.
[05:29] <G_009> nouveau is also based on nv so there is not much to offer .. but its better than nothing right now
[05:30] <h3sp4wn> I thought it was quite a bit better for eg xrender
[05:30] <G_009> xrandr
[05:30] <G_009> 1.2
[05:31] <h3sp4wn> Those are 2 different things entirely
[05:32] <DanaG> odd... I have to run bitpim as root for it to be able to communicate with my phone over the USB cable.
[05:33] <DanaG> Great, and now Nautilus just crashed.... about 10 times in rapid succession.
[05:34] <G_009> you got the bug of the day
[05:34] <DanaG> s/in/...in/
[05:34] <DanaG> and gvfs with samba is way slow.
[05:35] <G_009> actually .. you got yesterday's bug of the day
[05:37] <DanaG> argh, how do I disable single-click mode in kde4 konqueror?
[05:37] <DanaG> the systemsettings thingy has lots of missing panels.
[05:38] <h3sp4wn> Try dcop
[05:39] <DanaG> The shared library was not found.Library "kcm_input" not found
[05:39] <DanaG> Yes, it did smack it together after the period like that.
[05:40] <RAOF> G_009: nouveau is significantly different to nv.  If you had the option, you'd always go nouveau.
[05:40] <DanaG> Too bad nouveau doesn't do suspend2ram.
[05:40] <RAOF> Neither does nv.
[05:40] <hyperair> but there isn't a nouveau package in nv
[05:40] <hyperair> i mean
[05:40] <hyperair> in ubutnu
[05:40] <hyperair> *ubuntu
[05:40] <RAOF> Right.  Because it's highly experimental, and needs stuff we don't have.
[05:40] <RAOF> On the other hand, _I_ use it :)
[05:40] <hyperair> ah
[05:41] <hyperair> how?
[05:41] <hyperair> make install ?
[05:41] <RAOF> Like this:
[05:41] <RAOF> !nouveau
[05:41] <G_009> am not dissing nouveau.. just saying it is based on nv
[05:41] <DanaG> And _I_ am buying ATI next time.
[05:41] <hyperair> aah
[05:41] <hyperair> i see
[05:41] <hyperair> speaking of ati, how is the catalyst driver?
[05:41] <RAOF> Right.  It certainly is based on nv.  And then had the 2d accel and modesetting totally rewritten :)
[05:41] <hyperair> and nouveau doesn't have 3d accel yet right?
[05:41] <RAOF> Kinda.
[05:42]  * RAOF 's does, but you wouldn't want to depend on it for anything.
[05:42] <hyperair> i see
[05:42] <hyperair> is there a page showing how far support for certain cards have gone?
[05:42] <h3sp4wn> Seems like how I feel about compiz
[05:43] <RAOF> Not really. Current 3d support is "nv4x probably works quite a lot.  nv5x has just had some gallium code committed, but not hooked up.  nv3x has some work.  Before then, gallium works against you".
[05:43] <G_009> tinkers' only realm type thing
[05:43] <jonpackard> DanaG: see bug 245290
[05:44] <hyperair> i've got nv18
[05:44] <RAOF> hyperair: Oldschool.  That's... Geforce 2?
[05:44] <hyperair> 4
[05:44] <hyperair> geforce4
[05:44] <h3sp4wn> RAOF: Thats one of the main things that pisses me off with Xorg
[05:44] <DanaG> Wow, bitpim under Linux sucks compared to it under Windows, for some reason.
[05:44] <RAOF> h3sp4wn: What?
[05:44] <RAOF> hyperair: Really?  It's not a Geforce4MX?
[05:45] <hyperair> sorry
[05:45] <hyperair> geforce4 mx 440 agp8x
[05:45] <RAOF> Hah!  Geforce2 :P
[05:45] <hyperair> not that my mobo supports agp8x anyway
[05:45] <hyperair> lol
[05:45] <jonpackard> that card wah the sh!t back in what.. 2001?
[05:45] <hyperair> it's a geforce2 on steroids
[05:45] <DanaG> I found an ATI Rage 128 somewhere today.
[05:45] <hyperair> but the code name is geforce4 mx
[05:45] <h3sp4wn> RAOF: That stuff that perfectly fine gets messed up seemingly without any regression testing
[05:45] <hyperair> my computer was bought in 2004 i think.
[05:46] <RAOF> h3sp4wn: W
[05:46] <RAOF> h3sp4wn: I'm still not sure what part of my comments you're referring to.  Nvidia support has _never_ been perfectly fine, as far as I'm aware :)
[05:46] <G_009> am running nv on a mx4000.. i can wait
[05:47] <jonpackard> im fairly happy with nvidia w/ proprietary drivers.. I use dual screen at work and it is flawless.. i would prefer an OSS solution though
[05:47] <h3sp4wn> RAOF: The r200 support is useless these days and it was once the best supported linux had
[05:48] <h3sp4wn> I worry about similar issues with any opensource driver
[05:48] <h3sp4wn> (as the maker will only pay for the newest stuff etc)
[05:49] <DanaG> !find kcm_input
[05:49] <G_009> this is just alpha2 .. its not so bad
[05:50] <RAOF> jonpackard: I find nouveau's dual-screen to work better than nvidia's (it seems to handle the dynamic switching of monitors better).
[05:50] <jonpackard> are we up to alpha2 already? thought we were still on alpha1.. while I was checking distrowatch though.. 8.04.1 was just released.. an update release already?? weird
[05:51] <RAOF> h3sp4wn: Really?  I thought r200 was still well supported.  How did it go backwards?
[05:52] <h3sp4wn> RAOF: Just bit rot I guess its the little things small glitches etc
[05:52] <jonpackard> RAOF: i might give it a try sometime.. i have a 7600GS and am running Hardy at work.. I don't need 3D.. would you recommend it?
[05:52] <h3sp4wn> RAOF: It was really well polished
[05:53] <G_009> that nvidia fix on amaranth blog didnt work for you jonpackard >?
[05:54] <DanaG> Time to boot Windows again, to use bitpim.
[05:54] <RAOF> jonpackard: I use it on my 7600Go; They're nv4x cards, and are the best supported.
[05:55] <jonpackard> G_009 I found a patch but it was for the last kernel.. I'll check again later
[05:55] <DanaG> wtf? kde4 won't accept font size 9.5.
[05:55] <G_009> bummer
[05:55] <RAOF> For a work machine I'm not sure if I'd recommend them; they are, after all, still experimental.  That said, I use them.
[05:55] <RAOF> And they're faster than the closed-source drivers, which is pretty cool.
[05:55] <jonpackard> RAOF: Thanks for the tips. =)
[05:55] <hyperair> if only they'd support 3d
[05:56] <h3sp4wn> I cannot imagine ever wanting a non xig xserver for work
[05:56] <jonpackard> Bug reported about pulseaudio problem in intrepid: bug 245389
[05:57] <G_009> :-/
[05:58] <RAOF> hyperair: You might be surprised how much you miss 2d acceleration when it's not there.
[05:58] <hyperair> i'm not surprised how much i miss 3d acceleration when it's not there
[05:58] <hyperair> >=(
[05:58] <RAOF> Right.  And, well... you could write the 3d accel? :)
[05:59] <h3sp4wn> Good 2d acceleration is more important for most of what I am doing
[05:59] <RAOF> I don't have anything more for you on that count :)
[05:59] <jonpackard> G_009: Do you have a link for that nvidia fix in intrepid? I can't seem to find it.
[05:59] <hyperair> ...i can't even write a slightly more than simple gtkmm application and you're asking me to write 3d acceleration
[06:00] <G_009> nah.. i killed my session.. but it was in the forums under amaranth's postings
[06:01] <h3sp4wn> Are thye hacking on the video bios as well ?
[06:02] <RAOF> h3sp4wn: No?  Why would they?
[06:02] <RAOF> Someone's writing a bios interpreter I think.  Because that's useful.
[06:02] <RAOF> They're using the radeon, not the radeonhd, method of programming modern video cards.
[06:02] <h3sp4wn> RAOF: I am sure there are things that could be done nvidia has not thought of
[06:05] <G_009> jonpackard: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833633&highlight=nvidia
[06:05] <h3sp4wn> Otherwide you are sitll a slave to nvidia's original design
[06:06] <RAOF> h3sp4wn: Yes and no.
[06:06] <RAOF> It seems stupid to me to not use the code the manufacturer put there to do the boring stuff (initialise the card, reset the 3d engine, whatever).
[06:08] <RAOF> It doesn't seem to me that there's any useful innovation to be done there; those are merely necessary, boring steps to be taken before you can _do_ interesting stuff.
[06:08] <h3sp4wn> I mean more like what they define should be used for what purpose
[06:08] <h3sp4wn> or imply by their current drivers
[06:08] <crdlb> and with ati's bios, you can replace bits that are broken at runtime
[06:10] <crdlb> when you find those infinite resources, then we can worry about that ...
[06:10]  * G_009 installs wine
[06:12] <h3sp4wn> Sun has some pretty decent graphics cards (mid range) that use just a few FPGAs
[06:13] <RAOF> It's possible that I'm wrong; maybe the radeonhd approach will prove to be better at some point.  I just don't see it (and, apparently, neither do the radeon developers).
[06:13] <h3sp4wn> Academia ussually finds time to do one of each type of product correctly
[06:13]  * crdlb doesn't think it's possible for arlied to be wrong
[06:13] <G_009> ATI going opensource is still a myth
[06:14] <h3sp4wn> Who is the main developer of it
[06:14] <crdlb> G_009: ATI releasing specs to facilitate open source drivers is not though
[06:14] <h3sp4wn> (I thought the intel guy and xig were the only people with the experience to write good drivers)
[06:14] <G_009> yah.. a beam of light in the vast darkness of space
[06:15] <crdlb> oh, and they're employing one of the radeon developers now
[06:20] <G_009> am an nvidia fan boy (if there is such a thing)
[06:20] <jonpackard> G_009: thanks for the link.. this is the patch that I tried.. it failed to compile in 2.6.26-2-generic.. I don't see any detailed information about getting nvidia drivers working in this kernel =(
[06:20] <crdlb> I'm sorry to hear that
[06:20] <BHSPitLappy> hey now, it's no longer popular to like nvidia
[06:21] <BHSPitLappy> their drivers aren't free enough!
[06:21] <G_009> that's even better reason for me, bhs
[06:21] <crdlb> time for the pitchforks and such ...
[06:21] <G_009> 'sides.. the logo is pretty catchy
[06:21] <BHSPitLappy> quick, everybody don the masks Stallman sent us!
[06:22] <BHSPitLappy> it's time to march onto nvidia's HQ
[06:22] <G_009> :-/  that's all i got in that respect , jon
[06:24] <h3sp4wn> my nvidia drivers are pretty fast as long as I don't bother with compiz
[06:25] <G_009> lemme add that nv works fine in my x86 (default install)
[06:25] <jonpackard> which card do u have G_009?
[06:26] <G_009> geforce4 mx4000
[06:28] <jonpackard> lol.. u and hyperair.. that card is a classic.. was THE card back in the day =)
[06:29] <G_009> yah.. and still going after so much abuse..
[06:31] <h3sp4wn> Was it I thought the 4mx was just a slightly higher clocked geforfce 2
[06:31] <h3sp4wn> The ti was the one to have
[06:32] <jonpackard> i forgot about that one h3sp4wn, nice memory! =)
[06:32] <G_009> this one is still capable of about a few million polygons/per frame
[06:33] <G_009> makes me nostalgic ..
[06:35] <jonpackard> I think I have a Geforce 2 or 4 AGP in a box in my shed right now.. don't have a PC to put it in though =p
[06:35] <G_009> i have a 1ghz amd that mihgt take it
[06:36] <G_009> this is #offtopic anyway
[06:37] <jonpackard> yeah.. should move it to #geforce-nostalgia =)
[06:38] <jonpackard> so is everybody's nautilus in intrepid broken at this point? seems a good few people have had problems with it
[06:39] <G_009> not mine.. and i have 2 hdd's to look stuff on
[06:47] <jonpackard> looks like I was reporting my problem under the wrong bug report.. this seems to be the right one.. bug 245394
[07:28] <nickwinl> I think the start up menus in Intrepid run faster.

[09:33] <apparle> anyone tried kubuntu alpha
[09:33] <hyperair> not me
[09:33] <hyperair> i'm a staunch gnome fan
[09:33] <hyperair> also i won't be using ubuntu until compiz fusion works again for me. (no nvidia)
[09:34] <G_009> gnome forever!!
[09:34] <hyperair> lol
[09:35] <apparle> is there any channel where we can fight over Gnome and KDE
[09:35] <G_009> footsies in thy interface!
[09:35] <hyperair> doubt it
[09:36] <hyperair> you could always just create a temporary new channel. but don't quote me on that. i'm not taking any responsibilities on what i said
[09:36] <G_009> you could go #offtopic , but thats full of gtk folks..
[09:36] <hyperair> lol
[09:37] <hyperair> i see 8 in total
[09:37] <TheInfinity> apparle: i am kde4.1 tester
[09:37] <hyperair> including ChanServ
[09:48] <G_009> time to find out if i'll get that nautilus bug
[09:58] <apparle> cool
[10:28] <sacarde_> hi

[12:19] <sarthor> Hi, getting help here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ov51x#Compile but the command (sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-uname -r ) Giving the error [E: Command line option 'r' [from -r] is not known.] how to fix this. and I think it shuld not creat any error
[12:19] <sarthor> using Hardy

[12:24] <jonpackard> you could check your kernel version by running uname -r and enter it manually
[12:24] <jonpackard> i think your missing some syntax doing it that way
[12:34] <jonpackard> it looks like bug 245290 has been fixed.. just waiting it to be pushed to the repo i guess =)
[13:00] <jonpackard> sarthor: the correct command is...
[13:00] <jonpackard> sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
[13:00] <jonpackard> i am submitting a correction for that wiki page
[13:01] <sacarde_> h3sp4wn, I ask to boot-list, they tell me that ppc is not supported
[13:21] <Hobbsee> !ping
[13:56] <DanglyBits> anyone else having problems with sound under ibex?
[13:57] <Hobbsee> DanglyBits: sound that sounds scratchy?
[13:58] <DanglyBits> no sound at all
[14:00] <Hobbsee> hm
[16:44] <dholbach> Global Bug Jam Preparation Session in #ubuntu-meeting in 16 minutes.
[19:11] <molgrum> nvidia drivers soon? :)
[19:12] <molgrum> i notice that this bug is still present in Ibex: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/243707
[19:53] <geek_inn2> ohh
[19:56] <geek_inn2> will hibernate work in ibex even blueprints doesnt point anything about this issue
[19:57] <pheeror> it depends on hw
[19:58] <geek_inn2> hardware,well it worked previously in dapper
[19:58] <pheeror> you can wait for live cd and try it then
[19:59] <geek_inn2> u mean next alpha
[19:59] <pheeror> dunno
[19:59] <geek_inn2> on 10th july........alpha2
[19:59] <pheeror> you can check cdimage from time to time
[20:01] <geek_inn2> u mean nightly builds......
[20:01] <geek_inn2> hey why is room very calm
[20:02] <pheeror> ibex is probably rock solid and nobody has problems with it
[20:02] <pheeror> (joke)
[20:04] <geek_inn2> there are no big surprises in ibex,i feel some of my bugs get fixed(screen resolution,tv tuner card,new theme)
[20:04] <geek_inn2> i hate black/brown and dark for now
[20:04] <pheeror> and the new ugly theme, yeah ;-)
[20:06] <geek_inn2> where is bullet proof x server? i get screen resolution probs setting 800*600
[20:07] <pheeror> probably stuck somewhere in the future :-D
[20:12] <tomd123> alpha 1 is pretty stable for me, everything is fixed by the updates except the problem with pulseaudio not working (alsa works though)
[20:13] <geek_inn2> what if i want 2 upgrade 2 hardy 8.04.1
[20:13] <pheeror> doesn't work at all ?
[20:13] <tomd123> pheeror: It's called System->Preferences->Appearance or http://www.gnome-look.org/ (Remember, Linux != Windows)
[20:14] <pheeror> tomd123: no sh*t
[20:15] <pheeror> but still, default matters
[20:15] <tomd123> pheeror: again, windows talk
[20:15] <geek_inn2> i think metacity is waste and shud be replace by single theme...no gtk,no metacity
[20:15] <pheeror> tomd123: actually, this is quote from openbsd documentation regarding security :-)
[20:16] <geek_inn2> pheeror are u dev
[20:16] <pheeror> no
[20:16] <tomd123> pheeror: well I thought you where talking about the theme, that's what we're talking about, isn't it?
[20:16] <geek_inn2> or just user,any brainstorming ideas.....
[20:17] <pheeror> btw acording 8.04.1 - it's only about new installation media
[20:17] <pheeror> if you are updating regularly, the release means nothing for you
[20:17] <tomd123> anyone know when they will 'officially' support usb install? alpha 2 maybe?
[20:18] <pheeror> i've been thinking about making an utility to transform "any" bootable cd to usb, btw
[20:18] <geek_inn2> gr8 newz
[20:18] <geek_inn2> pheeror
[20:19] <pheeror> and I found out that's not possible to do something like that, of course
[20:19] <geek_inn2> why isnt dev's interested in contacting devaintart team,no blueprints,also fonts wont be fixed
[20:20] <pheeror> but maybe with some detecting it could work well enough
[20:24] <geek_inn2> hey how do i enable intel drivers
[20:25] <blizzkid> lo all. I have a bit of an annoying problem. When I boot my laptop; wifi is not working. When I toggle the hardware wifi-switch off and on, it works. Same after reboot. This is happening in both hardy and intrepid. It was working fine in gutsy with a madwifi-patch
[20:25] <blizzkid> Any idea if it'll be possible to fix this annoyance?
[20:27] <pheeror> intel drivers? which one(s) do you mean specifically - because lot of their drivers are open-source and work oob?
[20:27] <geek_inn2> i have intel 845board
[20:27] <geek_inn2> so i want2 enable onboard graphics 2 handle screen resolution 800*600
[20:29] <pheeror> hm, i think it should work out of the box
[20:30] <pheeror> but you can check what gpu you have by lspci |grep VGA
[20:31] <pheeror> xorg should autodetect the needed driver automagically
[20:32] <pheeror> I can rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf and everything (even 3D accel and compiz) keeps working just fine (I have intel G31)
[20:33] <geek_inn2> no.its scambling the screen .flickring when i set
[20:33] <geek_inn2> rm * will distroy
[20:33] <geek_inn2> isnt it
[20:33] <geek_inn2> hey i have intel mobo no graphics card
[20:34] <geek_inn2> so no gpu
[20:34] <pheeror> ah
[20:36] <geek_inn2> hibernate will work on some hw interesting...........
[20:36] <geek_inn2> but more ppl are yelling it doesnt work anymore
[20:36] <pheeror> I guess the gpu is a piece of silicon specifically intended to accel graphics, no matter it's part of mobo or not
[20:37] <pheeror> yeah, most of people are yelling
[20:38] <geek_inn2> i wonder what u want 2 point....i wanna just get that resolution to match my monitor
[20:39] <geek_inn2> u said xorg works great.....xorg sets small resolution for big monitors and big resolution for small monitors
[20:39] <pheeror> my point _was_ that it's a bug and you can find what causes it
[20:39] <geek_inn2> i mean 800*600 good for crt not lcd
[20:40] <pheeror> I don't praise xorg, anyway, has it detected your gpu and set the "intel" driver?
[20:40] <geek_inn2> same for sets lcd:800*600 not 1280*1024 ,while it sets crt:1280*1024 when i need 800*600
[20:41] <pheeror> do you have xserver-xorg-video-intel installed (it should be by default) ?
[20:41] <geek_inn2> gotto login and see.iam quite dippresses with seeing resolution prob so i booted into xp
[20:41] <geek_inn2> list all commands i need 2 try out
[20:42] <pheeror> you can also check "db" of known pciids (if it xorg autodetection works like that :-))
[20:42] <geek_inn2> iam freeekingly new 2 cli
[20:43] <geek_inn2> (never used terminal b4,just sudo apt-get install foo)
[20:43] <pheeror> first of all you should reboot to ubuntu so we can find out where the problem is
[20:43] <pheeror> it's something like shutdown -h -r :-) (in windows ;-) )
[20:44] <geek_inn2> ok then i have 2 set my account in IRC ..using software in xp
[20:44] <pheeror> and install some nice irc client - I personally like xchat
[20:44] <geek_inn2> xchat for linux?
[20:44] <pheeror> aptitude install xchat or click on applications->add/remove .....
[20:44] <geek_inn2> it will take long ..u say i have 2 reboot...u will wait
[20:45] <geek_inn2> and what is the channel name
[20:45] <geek_inn2> wait for 10 minutes i will reboot
[20:46] <geek_inn2> no... iam checking hibernate bug in launchpad
[20:46] <geek_inn2> so wait more
[20:47]  * hyperair wonders if nvidia is due to arrive in intrepid any time soon
[21:01] <geek_inn2> back2basics
[21:02] <geek_inn2> pheeror.........
[21:02] <geek_inn2> iam back
[21:02] <geek_inn2> luckly hibernate works
[21:06]  * molgrum shares hyperair's thoughts
[21:06] <molgrum> after this i will never upgrade to an alpha again :P
[21:07] <JontheEchidna> After alpha 3 or 4 it's usually not that bad...
[21:08] <pheeror> geek_inn2: nice
[21:08] <geek_inn2> ok
[21:08] <geek_inn2> luckly hibernate works
[21:09] <pheeror> and graphics?
[21:09] <geek_inn2> now say what cmds do i need 2 type
[21:09] <geek_inn2> no screen still
[21:09] <pheeror> to do what?
[21:10] <geek_inn2> there should have been nice effect when hibernating
[21:10] <geek_inn2> u said i need 2 type some commands to check for screen resolution
[21:11] <geek_inn2> check gpu etc
[21:11] <pheeror> you can check what gpu you have by lspci |grep -v VGA
[21:11] <pheeror> without -v
[21:12] <pheeror> lspci -nn|grep VGA will also show pci ids (vendor and device)
[21:12] <lamalex_2> dont you mean lspci -v |grep VGA
[21:12] <lamalex_2> grep -v VGA searches for anything BUT VGA
[21:13] <pheeror> sure
[21:13] <pheeror> you're right
[21:13] <geek_inn2> ok for xorg....
[21:13] <geek_inn2> it says intel 82845
[21:13] <lamalex_2> and if you're grepping, doing -v wont do anything sine VGA is only on the first line anyway
[21:14] <geek_inn2> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device [8086:2562] (rev 03)
[21:15] <pheeror> know you can check if you have intel driver installed  sudo dpkg -l|grep intel  - but i would wonder if you didn't
[21:16] <pheeror> ii  xserver-xorg-video-intel  ... is what you want to see
[21:16] <pheeror> or rather what you don't want to see because then you know what's wrong ;-)
[21:17] <geek_inn2> ii  wvdial                                     1.60.1                                             PPP dialer with built-in intelligence
[21:17] <geek_inn2> ii  xserver-xorg-video-intel                   2:2.2.1-1ubuntu13.5                                X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver
[21:17] <geek_inn2> now what
[21:18] <pheeror> you can run xrandr to check what resolutions are really available
[21:18] <geek_inn2> intel 945 guide says to put mode 62 i think in xorg?
[21:20] <geek_inn2> yes ! i did 800*600 is supported but screen filckers when i change thro' screen/resolution >>in system>>pref
[21:20] <pheeror> eh, so you want to lower your resolution?? ;-)
[21:21] <geek_inn2> yes if its possible ....just for a change it should work like robust isnt?
[21:22] <geek_inn2> bullet prooof?
[21:22] <pheeror> xorg and bullet proof? ;-)
[21:22] <pheeror> btw do you have working 3D?
[21:22] <geek_inn2> no i dont have
[21:23] <geek_inn2> no graphics card is real issue?
[21:23] <pheeror> I misunderstood your problem, I thought you were stuck with 800x600 because xorg used vesa driver as a fallback
[21:23] <pheeror> whatever
[21:23] <geek_inn2> no iam in xorg only i think no vesa
[21:24] <geek_inn2> so what u say
[21:26] <pheeror> just out of curiosity if you 'grep drm /var/log/Xorg.0.log' do you see something like (II) [drm] loaded kernel module for "i915" driver. ?
[21:26] <pheeror> or glxinfo|grep DRI and OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) G33 20061017
[21:27] <pheeror> btw did you try different refresh rate ? ;-)
[21:27] <geek_inn2> please tell me exact command:
[21:28] <pheeror> I didn't know this utility supports it because I have only LCDs
[21:28] <pheeror> i don't know wheter xrandr can do it
[21:28] <pheeror> yeah it's --rate parameter but i'd rather use the gui utility you used before
[21:29] <pheeror> and besides setting the resolution also try various refresh rates
[21:29] <geek_inn2> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 845G 20061017 x86/MMX/SSE2
[21:29] <pheeror> from you cli you can do it by xrandr | grep 800x600
[21:29] <geek_inn2> the o/p of glxinfo|grep DRI
[21:30] <pheeror> and then xrandr -s 800x600 -r <various_numbers_you_saw_in_the_output_of_the_grep_command>
[21:30] <geek_inn2> no output
[21:31] <geek_inn2>  VFS: busy inodes on changed media
[21:31] <pheeror> but i recommand use of that sexy gui tool
[21:31] <geek_inn2> dmesg says: VFS: busy inodes on changed media
[21:31] <geek_inn2> which application
[21:32] <pheeror> screen/resolution >>in system>>pref
[21:32] <pheeror> try some other refresh rate
[21:33] <geek_inn2> if it still does....restart?
[21:33] <geek_inn2> i mean if it wont work
[21:34] <geek_inn2> so u have intel g33 mobo and lcd....
[21:34] <geek_inn2> can have ur system specs>
[21:34] <geek_inn2> <dont mind>
[21:37] <geek_inn2> what is cloned output?
[21:37] <pheeror> why? http://pastebin.com/m2416d0c7
[21:38] <geek_inn2> hey i didnt ask ur cli o/p
[21:38] <geek_inn2> i said like intelg33,core2 what pc u have
[21:40] <pheeror> just go through it ;-)
[21:41] <pheeror> there is the rest ... http://pastebin.com/f330a59b
[21:42] <pheeror> that dmidecode is especially intresting
[21:42] <geek_inn2> system information i get should be neat to understand /system monitor gives little:http://i28.tinypic.com/jz72id.jpg
[21:42] <pheeror> Serial Number: To Be Filled By O.E.M. and so on :-)
[21:42] <geek_inn2> thats mine pc
[21:42] <geek_inn2> see:http://i28.tinypic.com/jz72id.jpg
[21:42] <geek_inn2> take screenshot and post it there
[21:42] <geek_inn2> give me link
[21:43] <geek_inn2> got it?
[21:44] <pheeror> nope
[21:44]  * pheeror 's gonna watch 24 tv series
[21:45] <pheeror> did setting different refresh rate work btw ?
[21:45] <geek_inn2> hey have u seen my system specs in system monitor :about
[21:45] <geek_inn2> now show me ur pc
[21:45] <geek_inn2> post it there ur system screenshot
[21:45] <geek_inn2> pheeror dude
[21:45] <pheeror> pfff
[21:46] <geek_inn2> i didnt try ...afraid of crash now
[21:46] <pheeror> kthxbye
[21:46] <pheeror> s/thx//:-DD
[21:46] <geek_inn2> whooooooot.
[21:47] <geek_inn2> i wonder if ubuntu supported mail...service like they supported xchat
[21:48] <geek_inn2> are u ready to give me specs or should i go
