gluertried do do an upgrade from 8.04 LTS to Intrepid...crashed and burned! LOL01:12
riddleboxwhat kernel is intrepid using?01:22
AmyRosegluer: You know, that just proves that Linux ain't ready for the desktop! :301:22
AmyRose(just kidding, of course)01:22
Pici!info linux01:23
ubottulinux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component restricted, is optional. Version 2.6.26.3.4 (intrepid), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB01:23
Piciriddlebox: ^01:23
riddleboxPici, cool01:24
riddleboxI am getting so sick of messing with my pinnacle 800i card, I am so close to risking an upgrade to intrepid to see if it will work, it is supposed to work in 2.6.2501:25
Vegarwouldn't it be easier to just install the intrepid kernel in hardy?01:28
riddleboxI am not using hardy, gutsy01:30
RAOFriddlebox: Well, you'll need to upgrade to hardy to upgrade to intrepid anyway.  Why don't you see if it works in Hardy?01:37
riddleboxit doesnt work in hardy01:37
riddleboxI already have a bug report in, and a kernel developer for ubuntu has said they will not fix it01:37
riddleboxbut I guess I could upgrade to hardy then install the kernel for intrepid01:37
RAOFThat doesn't sound like a wonderful idea to me, but could work.01:39
RAOFIf it's fixed in 2.6.25, it should work with intrepid's kernel.01:39
RAOFJust be aware that things may break.01:39
riddleboxit just sucks, i have compiled the drivers and stuff, but for some reason do not have audio, so i am wondering if it will work with the kernel01:42
RAOFYou'll need linux-ubuntu-modules and possibly linux-restricted-modules, too.01:43
ASULutzy1Whoops, I got disconnected, sorry bout that. Anyway, has anyone else had any problems with Virtualbox? I can't boot my XP .vdi's. They boot fine in Hardy but in Intrepid they go to the XP screen "safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, ..., boot normally" and no matter what I choose it immediately blue screens... Any ideas?01:53
ASULutzy1Also, any idea why smbmount doesn't seem to work in Intrepid but works just fine in hardy? Output can be found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26342/02:03
td123does anyone know if alpha 2 will fix the pulseaudio no sound problem?02:04
RAOFtd123: If it's not fixed for you now, no.02:04
RAOFAlso, what pulseaudio no sound problems? :)02:04
td123Oh, pulse audio wasn't working but when I switched it to alsa, it works (sound)02:05
ASULutzy1Nevermind on the smbmount problem, apparently it changed from uppercase to lowercase... that's odd. Still no luck with virtualbox though, anyone else experienced any problems with it?02:06
td123RAOF: will intrepid have a website dedicated to problems with it or will it just be the launchpad database?02:06
RAOFtd123: Launchpad, of course.02:07
td123RAOF: ubuntu 8.04alpha had a website of some sort where you can tell about your experience and add comments/bugs about your experience.02:08
RAOFtd123: There's qa.ubuntu.com, but that's only for testing the candidate ISOs, basically.  Things like "Does it install?", which need special handling.02:08
td123nvm I found it, it's http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/02:13
td123thanks for your help RAOF02:13

DanaGUgh, PulseAudio sounds like crap if I use the "simultaneous" device... even if I only have one physical device to actually send it to.03:06

DanaGBy "crap", I mean horribly crackly -- like somebody talking into a microphone while also EATING it.03:06

DanaGOn the positive side... I just found a new torture method.  =þ03:15
RAOFYou don't have the stream volume set to 200% or something silly?03:15
DanaGOh yeah, I have default sample channels set to 6, so perhaps it's adding channels incorrectly.03:16
DanaGBut I haven't usually had this issue, even when using the "combined" sink with 6 channels.03:16
DanaGSpeaking of which... the channel map on the combined sink is wrong.03:17

simihi, i want to try kubuntu 8.10 but i want to install only the core(i do not want to install openoffice or other applications), i need a how to for installing a custom system like in debian10:36
RAOFsimi: Install from the Alternate CD, and do a server instal.  That'll get you a pretty much bare-minimum system.10:36
simiRAOF: i belive it do not ask  if i want to install the server only and i do not seen a link to the server cd for 8.10, i belive that is posible using the alternate kubuntu cd but i am not sure10:46
RAOFYes, it's possible with the alternate CD.10:46
simiRAOF: then i should read the installing manual10:47
RAOFI think it's an option from the boot menu.10:48
