| LSD|Ninja | I just noticed there a new version of the 96.xx.xx nVidia drivers. How long befopre they make it into the repos? | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| Light- | eh, 96.xx.xx is the really old version isnt it? I thought we were up to 176.xx.xx or something | 00:04 |
| Light- | ohwait, I guess the 96.xx.xx drivers are for the really old cards | 00:05 |
| Light- | dont mind me :P | 00:06 |
| LSD|Ninja | Yeah, my Ubuntu machine has a GF2MX400 :P | 00:06 |

| elik | Hi, I am a Debian Lenny user and recently switched over to Ubuntu (Kubuntu actually) Hardy Heron. I am a little disappointed to see that the version of some programs I used is more outdated that on Debian, and I am considering upgrading to Ubuntu I... I... How stable is it compared to Lenny? | 01:59 |
| Light- | Try it and see, stability usually varies from user to user because people use their systems differently | 02:00 |
| Light- | run it in vbox for a while if you want to keep debian around incase you discover its more stable | 02:01 |
| LSD|Ninja | Normal releases are reasonably stable, Intrepid is very much alpha software at present so lots of things are very, very broken | 02:01 |
| elik | Hum | 02:02 |
| elik | I'll give it a try, my system is brand new | 02:03 |
| elik | if it breaks, it won't be too much of a pain to just reinstall it | 02:04 |
| elik | They always told me I was a risk taker :P | 02:04 |
| elik | Is it as simple as changing the sources, updating and dist-upgrading? | 02:04 |
| LSD|Ninja | elik: update-manager -d will do it all for you | 02:05 |
| LSD|Ninja | Probably better to set aside a machine or partition seperate to your main install and use a CD to install though | 02:05 |
| elik | why is that? | 02:06 |
| elik | direct update like that is not so reliable? | 02:06 |
| elik | considering I just installed the system today, is that worth the hassle? | 02:07 |
| elik | as long as my other partitions are untouched, I'm fine with reinstalling hardy | 02:07 |
| elik | hum, update-manager sound like a bad idea, considering I'm on KDE | 02:09 |
| LSD|Ninja | there's probably somethign similar for KDE, I'm not familiar enough with kubuntu to know what it is though | 02:09 |
| elik | yeah, adept installer, but I don't see anywhere where I can change the version | 02:10 |
| elik | anyway, I'll look it up, thx | 02:10 |
| LSD|Ninja | you might be able to download the Alpha CD and ue that as an upgrade source | 02:13 |
| elik | a small 624Mb to fetch, heh | 02:18 |
| elik | lol | 03:12 |
| elik | was not a good idea | 03:12 |
| elik | :D | 03:12 |
| LSD|Ninja | elik: ? | 03:21 |
| elik | well, it messed with the graphic card a bit | 03:21 |
| elik | and nothing would display anymore | 03:21 |
| elik | kernel XX.26 would just show some pink squares | 03:22 |
| elik | and xx.24 didn't work any better :P | 03:22 |
| elik | so I think we'll forget that | 03:22 |
| LSD|Ninja | yeah, usplash has a bunch of issues atm | 03:22 |
| elik | I see | 03:22 |
| elik | well, that's not as stable as I thought, but I guess now I know the true meaning of Alpha stage :P | 03:23 |
| LSD|Ninja | we did warn you :P | 03:25 |
| Hobbsee | heh | 03:25 |
| elik | lol, you sure did | 03:26 |
| elik | It was funny anyway | 03:26 |
| LSD|Ninja | I think the purpose of these first few Alphas is to get the stuff merged in from Debian working happily and then they'll start fine tuning the new stuff | 03:27 |
| elik | yeah, I assume it gets more and more stable as you close in to the release date | 03:29 |
| elik | When did Hardy Heron release? | 03:29 |
| Hobbsee | 8.04 == april 2008 | 03:29 |
| LSD|Ninja | 8.10 is due for release in october so there's still a fair way to go yet | 03:30 |
| elik | indeed | 03:31 |
| elik | anyhow, thanks for your support | 03:34 |
| elik | and keep up the good work on Intrepid Ibex | 03:35 |

| khermans | or is it b0rked? | 04:40 |

| gluer | hi, does alpha 2 address nvidia support? | 05:39 |
| SwedeMike | any idea if 8.10 will support centrino 2 well? (thinking of for instance the lenovo X200) | 06:39 |
| === orkid_ is now known as orkid | ||
| LSD|Ninja | SwedeMike: No reason to assume it won't | 08:18 |
| SwedeMike | it's brand new, it was out after 2.6.26 was frozen, that's why I'm wondering | 08:18 |
| SwedeMike | but hopefully intel has participated in kernel development and put support for the devices ahead of time | 08:19 |
| LSD|Ninja | There doesn't look as though there's that much new to support | 08:19 |

| avik42 | hiya, I just installed Kubuntu Intrepid Alpha 2 .. I can sudo just fine but when I try to use Hardware Driver Manager it says I need to give root password.. what is the root password? I didn't have a dialog to set it at install time and it's not the same as my sudo password .. thanks | 16:26 |
| JontheEchidna | It should ask you for your sudo password... | 16:27 |
| avik42 | that's what I thought .. but when I type in my sudo password .. it says wrong password .. but if I do sudo in terminal it takes it just fine | 16:28 |

| gluer | Hi, Q: I've got a Nvidia Geforce Go 7600 in laptop, ive installed all the latest updates and im still stuck in low res, how can i get 1680*1050 in intrepid? | 22:44 |
| Jordan_U | gluer, AFIK the proprietary drivers are broken currently | 22:50 |
| Jordan_U | gluer, You can try using the 'nv' driver if you are not already | 22:51 |
| gluer | Jordan: nv driver? | 22:51 |
| gluer | off the website? | 22:51 |
| markit | hi, my laptop boots in textual mode with kernel 2.6.24, but can't see anything with 2.6.26 (nvidia), any suggested setup or boot time parameter? | 22:52 |
| AtomicSpark | they should keep alpha as intended. in house/dev only beta testing. :P | 22:57 |
| Jordan_U | AtomicSpark, It's the open source way, release early, release often and warn about the possible killing of your dog | 22:59 |
| AtomicSpark | Jordan_U: people always miss or ignore the warning though :\ | 23:01 |
| gluer | holy crap!! fixed my nvidia! finally | 23:08 |
| gluer | lol | 23:08 |
| markit | gluer: I've problems with nvidia as well | 23:09 |
| gluer | about ffkn time | 23:09 |
| markit | with my laptop | 23:09 |
| markit | oh, no, does not show anything here :( | 23:09 |
| gluer | i followed this, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=856227 | 23:09 |
| markit | with kernel 2.6.24 I've no graphic (error setting MTRR), while with kernel 26.26 I've no output at all | 23:10 |
| gluer | i just modified the xorg.conf file | 23:10 |
| markit | I've not checked closed source (evil) driver | 23:10 |
| gluer | changed the section "device" | 23:10 |
| gluer | then changed the section "screen" to my correct res | 23:13 |
| gluer | for some reason my section "device" was identified as "device1" which i changed to "device0" | 23:13 |
| gluer | nv driver version 173.14.09 | 23:15 |
| markit | gluer: oh, could you pastebin me your xorg.conf please? the relevant (whole) sections? | 23:16 |
| markit | gluer: even if is strange that with kernel 2.6.24 I've graphic image (gray) with X cursor, then returns to textual | 23:17 |
| markit | while with more recent kernels, I've no image at all (nor textual) | 23:17 |
| gluer | markit: sure..ive never used pastebin though, whats the deal? | 23:18 |
| markit | gluer: and where do you find if device0 or device1 or deviceX is correct? | 23:18 |
| markit | gluer: www.pastebin.ca, and copy/paste your xorg.conf, then submit and write here the link it returns | 23:19 |
| markit | or we could go in private and you can paste me some small pieces of config | 23:19 |

| gluer | markit: bugger | 23:27 |
| markit | gluer: what do you mean? | 23:27 |
| gluer | markit: just aussie slang ;-) lol | 23:27 |
| gluer | q: when i boot into gui i hear the drum sound, then when i login the sound doesnt work, any ideas how to fix this? my laptop is a asus fj3 or something | 23:34 |
| markit | ok, let's format and go back to a more stable 8.04 :) thanks a lot anyway, bye | 23:43 |
