=== DanaG1 is now known as DanaG [00:58] alpha-3 out? [01:36] Question, is it possible to use the kernel from Intrepid [01:37] without getting the whole enchilada? [01:37] I'm having some pretty horrible ACPI problems [01:37] and I think 2.6.26 has a good chance of fixing them [01:40] You can, if you're careful, and also get all the dependencies. [01:40] By "all" I mean all those that are part of the kernel. [01:41] And watch out for the changes in nvidia: it's no longer nvidia-glx{,old,new}; now it's by version. [01:41] I suppose the predigested Nvidia modules are a no? [01:41] like as in Envy [01:41] I'm dealing with a seriously broken BIOS [01:42] even patching it up to the latest version didn't help a whole lot [01:43] The package names have changed: now they're nvidia-glx-77 nvidia-glx-96 nvidia-glx-173 (or maybe 177). [01:43] nice! [01:46] And it uses dkms to build itself for new kernel versions. [01:49] DanaG: So what all do I need to install nvidia-glx-177 locally? [01:50] jsut that and nvidia-kernel-source? [01:51] I'm not sure, actually. [01:53] can i download alpha-3 iso yet? [01:59] baron1984: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 worked here... then i edited xorg.conf [02:02] but that also takes being on the Intrepid repos. [02:05] can i install the intrepid theme onto hardy? [02:05] * burner notes we are in #ubuntu+1 [02:05] * burner likes the new theme... screw the naysayers! [02:05] i love it too [02:06] i notice it's smaller and takes up less screen real estate which is nice :) [02:06] ive got 3 laptops running intrepid and 1 with hardy [02:06] waiting patiently for alpha-3 [02:06] ;-) [02:07] i'm waiting till network manager 0.7 hits to take the time to move my laptop [02:07] until rather === baron1984 is now known as izanbardprince [02:34] I would use XFCE [02:34] if it had a nicer wifi management applet [02:34] and easier compositing support [02:35] I really hate the theme in Intrepid [02:35] I hope they don't ditch the old ones [02:35] the Tango icon theme doesn't go well with NewHuman [02:35] everything else is fine [02:38] is Pulseaudio still screwy in Intrepid? [02:54] Does evolution in intrepid know how to use gmail and such or does it still have to ask the user every little annoying thing? [02:55] ethana: still have to configure it [02:59] *sigh* [03:00] It'll be nice when we can match mac mail's ease of use [03:01] i'll be joining you folks in a few days when the livecd comes out [03:01] then i send in my ubuntu inspiron to get a new mainboard [03:01] ...then i'll be back on intrepid, submitting bugs left and right [03:01] see ya [03:51] http://www.hexellent.com/files/26/Screenshot-Update-Manager.jpg <- any idea wht update manager has started doing that (making the name and description fields 2/3-3/4 smaller than they should be)? === crd1b is now known as crdlb === tritium_ is now known as tritium [04:38] hello [04:39] offhand, anybody experience crash and burn with linux-image-2.6.26-3-generic on real hardware? [04:40] cuz i do, it doesn't even panic [04:41] windows and hardy's kernel are fine, so i don't think it's hardware [04:41] it will boot with nosmp or noacpi though. [04:41] also happens on linux-image-2.6.26-4-generic [04:42] kfazz: Nope; no problems here. [04:42] Kindly File A Bug(tm) :) [04:43] i plan to, i just wanted to know if there are any debug boot options that will let me pinpoint the error a bit more beofre i write one [04:44] i tried "debug" but it didn't add any more boot messages than usual [04:53] you use it without "quiet", right? [04:56] is there a cd download for intrepid at this point? [04:57] yes [04:57] but you have to use the text installer [04:57] livecd won't be implemented til Alpha 3 [04:57] the first thing Alpha 2 does is crash [04:57] odd - but that's ok for me [04:57] ? [04:57] you have to drop to the terminal and dist-upgrade [04:58] broken package that ships with the Alpha 2 ISO [04:58] so use the alt-install? [04:58] drop to the terminal [04:58] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:58] yea - no problem [04:58] let it do it's thing, and then sudo reboot now [04:58] you'll also have to configure Pulseaudio by hand [04:58] o? [04:58] there's a guide on the forum for that [04:59] maybe i'll come back once i've done the dist-upgrade [04:59] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=866965 [04:59] theres a wiki for PA [04:59] well, Pulse will try to use your modem as a speaker [04:59] until you do that [04:59] so don't freak out [04:59] * jetsaredim doesn't have a modem [05:00] well, if you hear a screeching, this is why [05:00] heh ok [05:00] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio maybe easier to follow [05:00] @whoami [05:00] gnomefreak: gnomefreak [05:00] good [05:00] so i need the alt-installer iso or the normal installer [05:00] !pulseaudio [05:00] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [05:01] jetsaredim: you have no choice ther eis only a text installer [05:01] Pulseaudio is nuts [05:01] and for me anyway, it caused 10 problems for every one thing it did better [05:02] those were features [05:02] no one told you? [05:02] playing sound through my modem, wrecking my Logitech headset [05:02] bah [05:03] to me, this is like them polishing the chrome before they see if it even starts [05:03] ...but its so shiny [05:04] ok - sad when torrent is slower than straight wget [05:04] I'm in the middle of dist upgrading [05:05] Intel seems to have done a lot of work to get 2.6.26 working with all kinds of crappy ACPI implementations [05:05] jetsaredim: that is normal since people seed off you with torrents [05:05] which I am a victim of [05:06] all these motherboard makers just make sure it works with Windows [05:06] which is extremely forgiving of obvious screwups [05:06] so Linux had to implement Vista-like ACPI error handling [05:06] :P [05:07] so hopefully at least some stuff that is not working now will when I reboot with the new kernel [05:07] this just disgusts me to no end [05:08] oh well, if the mountain won't come to Mohammad..... [05:09] I can't think of any good reason they'd ship a BIOS this screwed up [05:09] except being well paid by Microsoft [05:09] kickbacks, you know I love em [05:14] "Buy Windows Vista" my tail end [05:14] Makes me want to go to Beijing and kick that guy in the nuts [05:18] baron1984: pcspkr, not modem. [05:18] at least, that's the issue I heard about. [05:18] all I know is it sounded like a tin can going through the garbage disposal [05:18] I didn't have that issue, though -- my pcspkr doesn't even work at all once hda-intel loads. [05:18] and I thought my hard disk was crashing [05:18] scared the hell out of me [05:20] * baron1984 wonders how an obvious bug with an obvious fix lives on [05:22] snd-pcsp shouldn't load unless no other audio devices exist, I'd say. [05:22] And even then, it shouldn't take index 0. [05:22] More like 99, or something. [06:00] ok - wait - so if the iso is somewhat broken - how do i get gnome up and running form the install? [06:01] or is the install fine once you dist-upgrade? [06:04] the latter. more or less. [06:04] boot without splash. [06:05] Or fix uvesafb, I believe. [06:05] Hiya Hobbsee [06:05] heya! [06:08] Backs suck. [06:09] but that all comes back after the dist-upgrade? [06:09] * jetsaredim thinks maybe I should shoot for 8.04.1 [06:12] intrepid is not for general use, or mission critical stuff. [06:12] if you're thinking about that, or 8.04.1, you should go for the latter. [06:13] http://www.hexellent.com/files/26/Screenshot-Update-Manager.jpg <- any idea why Update Manager is doing that now? [06:15] I tried resizing the window, didn't help [06:24] How would I disable ping using ufw? [06:25] icmp [06:25] that's the protocol [06:25] how would I disable the echo/rquest [07:25] Oh hey, I have some third-party themes repo installed, but want to prefer official versions of things. [07:26] How would I set the apt preferences file to prefer, say, gtk-engines-nodoka 0.7.0-1 over 0.7.0-1nano (which is from the third-party repo)? [07:26] Time for apt preferences! [07:27] I believe the answer is to set the priority of that repo to 1 [07:29] Hmm, now how to isolate that repo... it doesn't provide a Release file. [07:29] You're looking at "man apt_preferences", yes? [07:30] aah, I was looking at stuff online, but I'll pull up the man pages, too. [07:33] heh, turns out they're the same. [07:33] http://linux.die.net/man/5/apt_preferences [07:34] :) [07:34] http://www.hexellent.com/files/26/Screenshot-Update-Manager.jpg <- any idea why Update Manager is doing that now? [07:34] Because EXA's broken? [07:34] er, that didn't work -- there's not a target release set. [07:36] Aah, have to also pin origin:"Ubuntu" [07:36] Heh; go the other way :) [07:36] Pin everything to a low value, then bump up Ubuntu. [07:36] RAOF: ? [07:37] LSD|Ninja: That's basically a "dunno", but it's an obvious drawing error. [07:37] I want to pin Ubuntu to whatever makes it the same as setting the target release. [07:38] Eeh, I'll go with ... oh, 990. [07:39] priority 990 to the versions that are not installed and belong to the target release. [07:39] Perhaps I should set it to 900... so I don't get the "what happens if it's not installed yet" thing. [07:42] dag-blast it.... update-manager still offers the upgrade. [07:43] DanaG: in hardy you can modify /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [07:44] I don't want to do something that unsupported, though. I just want to un-prefer a specific repo for same-real-version packages. [07:48] oh. [07:48] W: Did not understand pin type version [07:49] oh....kay... [07:49] then I don't know what to do. [07:54] aah, pin by origin www.nanolx.org [07:55] and needs to be Pin-Priority, not Pin-priority [07:57] Thanks! [07:58] Oh yeah, random note: the Ubuntu google start-page still has the old "bleeding" Heron. [07:58] yep [07:59] So long, compiz. Back to nouveau time. [07:59] So long, s2ram, then. [07:59] =þ [07:59] Indeed. [08:00] * DanaG needs his sleep too much. [08:00] Speaking of which..... I should go to bed soon. [08:00] =þ [08:00] I've grown used to not having it. [08:00] :P [08:00] !date [08:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about date [08:00] er [08:00] Thu Jul 24 00:00:31 PDT 2008 [08:00] You can always try nv_bios to get s2ram with nouveau. ;) [08:01] nv_bios? [08:03] A kernel module by everyone's favourite Matthew Garrett to get s2ram working on nv. [08:05] Now to make synaptic obey apt preferences... [08:06] oh wait... it did. [08:10] Yup. Everything should. [08:19] DanaG: That's because aptitude has more smarts than apt; but apt_preferences works right down by the coalface. [08:20] coalface? That's a new one. "Bare metal" is more familiar. [08:21] right under the g-string [08:21] lol [08:21] The coalface is there before the metal even exsits! [08:26] You don't make metal out of coal. [08:26] =þ [08:27] bed now. [08:27] Thu Jul 24 00:27:08 PDT 2008 [08:28] * DanaG goes off §£∃∃¶ing. [08:29] Oh, I just love SCIM + altgr-intl keyboard. [08:29] scim-tables-additional for the "LaTex" table, specifically. [09:50] Hi, I have a question about the icons the upcoming ubuntu intrepid [09:51] will there finally be an icon for PGP encrypted files in human ? [09:51] cause I think it's rather silly that seahorse was in hardy by standard but that it's files just look the same as unidentified octet-stream files [09:54] Bert_2: too early to know artwork is last to get finalized [09:54] gnomefreak: okey, but do you have any idea why there wasn't such an icon in hardy ?
