[02:35] <yoyoned> I have a GeForce 6100 nForce 430.  The restricted driver manager does not show anything to install.
[02:35] <LSD|Ninja> yoyoned: that's normal right now
[02:36] <yoyoned> LSD|Ninja: any thing I can hack about to get it to work
[02:36] <LSD|Ninja> I'm not sure
[02:37] <yoyoned> LSD|Ninja: ok, thanks
[02:37] <LSD|Ninja> you could install nvidia-glx manually but I think a recent round of updates broke that too
[06:30] <LSD|Ninja> Anyone else getting weird bootsplash corruption and problems with the gdm greeter? O_o
[07:10] <Bernardo> hi
[11:15] <RAOF> LSD|Ninja: Yes, every now and then; maybe it's a race condition in the framebuffer driver?
[11:18] <LSD|Ninja> At least I'm not alone there like I seem to be on the greeter thing. I wish I knew wtf was up with that, even changing from gdmgreeter to gdmlogin still doesn't seem to get me any closer to the GUI. It used to work, soemthing has broken I jsut have nfi what
[11:32] <RAOF> Oh, it works almost all the time for me.  When the framebuffer is messed up, it also messes up X.
[11:34] <LSD|Ninja> It started out that just the progress bar would be screwed up but a recent round of (pre Alpha 2) updates messed it up entirely though it does come good every once in a while and of course I get the greeter crashing message
[11:38] <RAOF> Nah, I don't got that.
[11:40] <s0u][ight> is X fixed?
[11:46] <LSD|Ninja> it depends on how it was broken for you :P
[11:48] <s0u][ight> it wasn't
[11:48] <s0u][ight> i didn't upgrade yet
[11:48] <LSD|Ninja> X appears to work for me, I just can't log in or do anything because gdm keeps crashing
[11:52] <s0u][ight> ok i'll wait some longer before upgrading
[12:15] <Hew> Anyone running Intrepid that can open .diff.gz files with file-roller? I don't seem to be able to. eg http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/file-roller/file-roller_2.23.3-0ubuntu2.diff.gz
[17:14] <LSD|Ninja> >_< latest xorg-xserver-core update restored my greeter but the splash is still b0rked, going to try a final reinstall and see what happens
[17:46] <Klanticus> hi... I'm using kubuntu, and it stopped working after an update... kdm do not work anymore
[17:46] <JontheEchidna> Klanticus: should be fixed in in 4:4.0.98-0ubuntu2
[17:46] <Klanticus> and the bootsplash don't work too
[17:47] <LSD|Ninja> Klanticus: all kinds of weird corruption?
[17:48] <LSD|Ninja> ranging from the bar appearing in three different places to what looks like a siblinal digital message?
[17:48] <Klanticus> LSD|Ninja: no... it just doesn't appear
[17:48] <Klanticus> LSD|Ninja: it show me the console
[17:49] <Pici> In Intrepid?
[17:50] <Klanticus> Pici: kubuntu 8.10 alpha 1 (amd64)
[17:51] <Pici> Klanticus: Just checking ;)
[17:51] <LSD|Ninja> Klanticus: I get that from time to time too but I have no idea if it's something I've done or related to the main issue I'm having
[17:51] <Klanticus> i'm fetching more updates now... let's see if they solve the problem
[17:51] <JontheEchidna> I've not had a splash since I upgraded a hardy install to pre-alpha1
[17:52] <Klanticus> JontheEchidna: I had splash before this update
[17:52] <LSD|Ninja> splash works in Hardy. It's 1280x1024 (I'd rather it be 1024x768) but it works. Intrepid is where is went crazy
[17:52] <LSD|Ninja> works for me*
[18:02] <Klanticus> well... it's not working yet... looks like kdm can't find some theme file
[18:02] <Klanticus> it just show a message complaining about not finding a theme and then exits
[18:03] <JontheEchidna> Klanticus: what version is kdm at?
[18:04] <Klanticus> JontheEchidna: Version: 4:4.0.98-0ubuntu1
[18:04] <JontheEchidna> Riddell said 0-ubuntu2 should fix it
[18:05] <JontheEchidna> *-0ubuntu2
[18:05] <JontheEchidna> so I'd watch for that
[18:05] <Klanticus> JontheEchidna: how do I get it? apt isn't downloading it
[18:05] <JontheEchidna> I don't think it's done building yet
[18:06] <Klanticus> JontheEchidna: ah... ok.. I'll wait them
[18:06] <Klanticus> JontheEchidna: thank you
[18:06] <JontheEchidna> np
[18:09] <cbr> why is opengl (kde4 kwin effects to be specific) broken in intrepid?
[18:13] <jbroome> opengl came up on the "wheel of broken" today
[18:15] <cbr> it has been broken for over a week
[18:24] <Nece228> Does ubuntu will change that dark brown theme in ubuntu 8.10?
[18:26] <Nece228> In alpha 2 ubuntu's look didnt changed
[18:26] <Nece228> Maybe this will be final look ?
[18:27] <LSD|Ninja> I have no idea what they were smoking when they came up with the new theme in Intrepid, people want *less* brown, not more
[18:27]  * JontheEchidna uses kubuntu so he doesn't have to deal with that :D
[18:28] <Nece228> LSD|Ninja: thats it
[18:28] <Nece228> But i that look isn't ugly for me :D
[18:29] <LSD|Ninja> JontheEchidna: you have to deal with KDE, which is worse :P
[18:29]  * JontheEchidna starts flamewar
[18:29] <JontheEchidna> *obligatory
[18:30] <Nece228> LSD|Ninja: >:( kde is not bad
[20:14] <LSD|Ninja> I *hate* ath5k, please put madwifi back in in time for release
[20:24] <LSD|Ninja> what's the way to install nvidia now again?
[20:41] <papabean> LSD|Ninja: I used sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173 for my card.
[20:41] <papabean> Then I used nvidia-settings to generate a new xorg.conf
[20:42] <papabean> I can't validate that that's the preferred method, but it worked for me.
[20:44] <papabean> That brought in the source package which built the appropriate kernel module.
[20:44] <papabean> That being said, that was the third nvidia-glx- package I tried (1 because I was hasty, 1 because my card was listed).
[20:47] <LSD|Ninja> I'll give that a go as soon as the restricted-extras get done installing
[21:16] <papabean> Anyone else using Kmail?
[21:17] <LSD|Ninja> for the love of all that's holy how in the hell do I kill that utterly retarded PC Speaker as a sound card driver? >_<
[21:17] <Unksi> LSD|Ninja: rmmod pcspkr?
[21:17] <Unksi> that should kill it for good :P
[21:17] <Unksi> (and blacklist so it wont be loaded on boot)
[21:18] <LSD|Ninja> Unksi: I tried that and snd_pcsm, neither worked. It still sounds like my hard disk crashes each time I log in
[21:18] <Unksi> ok
[21:24] <yuriy> papabean: I am on hardy. but I'm guessing you're asking about intrepid since you're in here
[21:26] <papabean> Unless you're experiencing crashes right after mail retrieval on IMAP accounts.
[21:26] <papabean> The problem could be the same.
[21:26] <papabean> Hard to troubleshoot what's going on since even running from console gives no good output.
[22:50] <Jordan_U> I have installed linux-restricted-modules but I still can't modprobe ath_{hal,pci}
[22:51] <Jordan_U> I have installed linux-restricted-modules but I still can't modprobe ath_{hal,pci}
[22:55] <LSD|Ninja> linux-restricted-modules are for an older kernel, the ydon't work in Intrepid
[22:55] <LSD|Ninja> which is a shame, because ath5k really, really sucks
[23:07] <Jordan_U> LSD|Ninja, ath5k works great in Fedora 9 for me
[23:07] <Jordan_U> LSD|Ninja, Is it missing features / unstable ( why does it suck ) ?
[23:08] <LSD|Ninja> Actually, ath5k sucked more in Fedora than it does in Intrepid but it still doesn't work anywhere near as well as madwifi
[23:09] <Jordan_U> LSD|Ninja, Doesn't work at all for me in intrepid, what problems have you had with it?
[23:09] <LSD|Ninja> In Fedora it could never keep a connection up for a few minutes whereas in Intrepid it's relatively stable but is dog slow
[23:10] <Jordan_U> LSD|Ninja, Did you have to do anything special to get ath5k to work in intrepid?
[23:11] <LSD|Ninja> Nope, it was as easy to get going as madwifi in Hardy
[23:11] <LSD|Ninja> Well, when I could get into the GUI that is
[23:56] <Jordan_U> Any ideas on how to troubleshoot ath5k not working?
