| Fredd | hey just ran all of the xorg updates and my sound is not working no more | 03:34 |
| Fredd | if i turn the volume really high i could hear the weird sound that speakers make when their volume is full but im not getting any audio output from any program | 03:35 |
| Fredd | anybody getting the same problem maybe? | 03:41 |
| === jtechidna is now known as JontheEchidna | ||
| JontheEchidna | nope | 03:44 |
| Fredd | JontheEchidna: did u install the updates too? | 03:44 |
| JontheEchidna | yes | 03:44 |
| JontheEchidna | but I don't see how xorg would mess up sound | 03:44 |
| Fredd | well it just did for me after restarting | 03:45 |
| Fredd | i have no sound not even core sound for like login events | 03:45 |
| Fredd | man where is | 03:47 |
| Fredd | ROAF* | 03:47 |
| Fredd | so anybody with any suggestions/ | 03:48 |
| Fredd | i think im going to restart a couple of times and then it will start working just like yesterday | 03:52 |
| JontheEchidna | I did restart since the upgrade since dbus shat itself and killed networkmanager | 03:54 |
| JontheEchidna | maybe it did the same for you and killed the sound server? | 03:54 |
| Fredd | how do i know if its killed? | 03:54 |
| JontheEchidna | I don't know | 03:55 |
| JontheEchidna | I don't know gnome | 03:55 |
| * JontheEchidna uses KDE | 03:55 | |
| Fredd | well i can turn up the volume for the volume control tool though | 03:55 |
| Fredd | and hear the fuzzness | 03:55 |
| JontheEchidna | anyway, I'm turning in for the night | 03:56 |
| DanaG | Oh hey, is it possible to "convert" a 32-bit system to 64-bit? | 04:35 |
| DanaG | .... or at least to match package states and config files? | 04:35 |
| pwnguin | you could dpkg -l > file | 04:40 |
| pwnguin | but i guess the config files are tricky | 04:40 |
| DanaG | Well, luckily, the new laptop (not available until "mid-september" :( ) will offer a way to stick a second hard drive it in. | 04:42 |
| DanaG | I'll be able to keep the old one around for config file retrieval. | 04:42 |

| nteon | hi friends | 05:59 |
| nteon | dumb question: how do I change runlevels in 8.10? 'telinit 3' and 'start rc3' both do nuffin | 06:00 |
| nteon | (both commands run as root) | 06:01 |
| nteon | 'initctl start rc3' also doesn't do what it should | 06:08 |
| nteon | maybe when I finish updating upstart will work correctly. | 06:09 |
| DanaG | how about init 3? | 06:14 |
| nteon | DanaG: no, that doesn't work either | 06:24 |
| DanaG | Odd. | 06:24 |
| G_009 | Doo | 06:25 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, Ubuntu doesn't have anything but '1' and 'everything else' -- upstart doesn't work the same way as runlevels in other distros. | 06:25 |
| nteon | DanaG: really? how am I suppose to kill X then? | 06:25 |
| G_009 | ctrlaltdel | 06:25 |
| DanaG | nope | 06:25 |

| Fredd | i just dont understand how could a xserver update just completely blackout my sound...i have checked every settings for sound and im pretty sure nothing has changed... | 06:44 |
| nteon | I have an unrelated sound query: I hear the noise for when GDM (yay for me for using GNOME!) loads, but once I log in it seems to think I don't have any sound devices | 06:45 |
| Fredd | well finally about time i got it to work lol | 06:53 |

| Technofrood | How do I enable raid4-5 in the kernel? (trying to access an nvidia fakeraid raid5 array, but dmraid claims "ERROR: device-mapper target type "raid4-5" not in kernel") | 12:11 |
| Technofrood | I had it working in 8.04 before I upgraded but it doesn't seem to work anymore | 12:12 |
| ikonia | Technofrood: mod probe it, but keep in mind that fake raid is aBAD technology | 12:18 |
| Technofrood | I did mooodprobe dm-raid-4-5 and got no erros but dmraid -ay still claims its not in kernel | 12:20 |
| ikonia | Technofrood: does lsmod show it loaded | 12:20 |
| ikonia | and again keep in mind fake raid is just a massive problem technology as a whole | 12:20 |
| ikonia | (in my opinion it should be dropped) | 12:21 |
| Technofrood | Except I need it for when I'm in windows | 12:21 |
| ikonia | Technofrood: you don't "need" it | 12:21 |
| ikonia | there are other raid technologies | 12:21 |
| ikonia | windows has a software raid function | 12:21 |
| ikonia | the ame as linux | 12:21 |
| Technofrood | Is there a softwaer raid that works in both windows and linux? | 12:21 |
| ikonia | same | 12:21 |
| ikonia | no | 12:21 |
| ikonia | the whole point of software raid is that its managed by the host OS | 12:22 |
| ikonia | (not the whole point) | 12:22 |
| Technofrood | Thus I wouldbn't be able to share files between the two then | 12:22 |
| Technofrood | which defets the point of trying toi get it to work | 12:22 |
| ikonia | not on the raid partition, but on a seperate non-raid partition would be fine | 12:22 |
| Technofrood | I don't happen to have a spare 1.36TB single disk though | 12:23 |
| ikonia | also keep in mind using 8.10 your using unstable software so trying to get this working for a "stable" purpose is a moving target | 12:23 |
| ikonia | does lsmod show your modules loaded ? | 12:23 |
| Technofrood | dm_raid4_5 73100 0 | 12:23 |
| Technofrood | dm_region_hash 19328 1 dm_raid4_5 | 12:23 |
| Technofrood | dm_mem_cache 12672 1 dm_raid4_5 | 12:23 |
| Technofrood | dm_message 11008 1 dm_raid4_5 | 12:23 |
| Technofrood | dm_log 17540 3 dm_raid4_5,dm_region_hash,dm_mirror | 12:23 |
| Technofrood | dm_mod 61640 3 dm_raid4_5,dm_mirror,dm_log | 12:23 |
| ikonia | all looks great except for the 0 instance of dm_raid4_5 | 12:24 |
| ikonia | what does the syslog say when you are issuing your dmraid commands ? | 12:26 |
| Technofrood | Aug 16 12:26:42 ubuntu klogd: [ 2404.108015] device-mapper: table: 254:0: raid4-5: unknown target type | 12:26 |

| ikonia | can you do a -c on the block device ? | 12:31 |
| Technofrood | silly question which one? | 12:33 |
| siimo | hey.. anyone have issue with boot cd? boot.iso when i try to boot with it i get an error: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(104,1) | 12:33 |
| Technofrood | it lists all the drive idividually | 12:33 |
| siimo | or something strange like that | 12:33 |
| ikonia | Technofrood: one of the ones thats not working | 12:34 |
| ikonia | Technofrood: as in the device mapper device | 12:34 |
| Technofrood | /dev/mapper/nvidia_hbcgcebg1? | 12:35 |
| siimo | anyone? | 12:37 |
| ikonia | well what ever your devices are | 12:37 |
| ikonia | siimo: for some reason it can't see your disk | 12:37 |
| Technofrood | that's what I would use to access it normally but its not there | 12:37 |
| ikonia | Technofrood: ok - so the device isn't created via device mapper yet | 12:37 |
| siimo | hmm this is the boot cd though.. if it cant see my drive then thats a major fail.. | 12:37 |
| ikonia | well, it's not good | 12:38 |
| === jtechidna is now known as JontheEchidna | ||
| ikonia | Technofrood: did the modules auto load, or did you have to force them with modprobe (I know you said you modprobed them beore) | 12:38 |
| siimo | i think even dapper worked on this machine so i cant see why the kernel cant recognize my drive now | 12:38 |
| ikonia | siimo: what has dapper got to do with anything ? | 12:39 |
| ikonia | siimo: your using a development release of a product that is over 2 months away from release | 12:39 |
| siimo | i meant this isnt some new hardware.. sata chip | 12:39 |
| siimo | yes i know that... but it is using a stable version of kernel so it shouldnt fail at such a basic thing even if it is pre alpha | 12:39 |
| ikonia | siimo: 1.) have you checked the vailidy of your CD 2.) have you checked the vailidy of the image you burnt 3.) how certain are you it's actaully booting from cd | 12:39 |
| ikonia | siimo: a stable version of the kernel ??? | 12:40 |
| ikonia | siimo: it's in development | 12:40 |
| siimo | 2.6.26 is final | 12:40 |
| ikonia | siimo: so ? | 12:40 |
| siimo | yes i burnt twice.. i have checked cd | 12:40 |
| ikonia | siimo: how did you check the cD ? | 12:40 |
| ikonia | siimo: how did you check the iso ? | 12:40 |
| ikonia | siimo: how much ram does your machine have ? | 12:40 |
| siimo | by downloading it multiple times from multiple sources and comparing the md5 | 12:40 |
| siimo | 2GB | 12:40 |
| ikonia | siimo: how did you verify the cd ? | 12:41 |
| siimo | how do you verify it when buring? yes i did that | 12:41 |
| ikonia | siimo: how did you veify the burnt cd ? | 12:41 |
| siimo | by using the verify option in the CD burning program | 12:42 |
| ikonia | and that passed %100 ? | 12:42 |
| siimo | yes | 12:42 |
| ikonia | siimo: your not using any form of raid on the disk | 12:42 |
| siimo | no, just a standard sata drive in IDE mode | 12:42 |
| ikonia | part of that looks like a CD error | 12:43 |
| ikonia | or ram error | 12:43 |
| ikonia | as it's unompressing into ram | 12:43 |
| ikonia | eg: the root file system it's trying to mount is squash FS | 12:43 |
| ikonia | that is unompressed into ram | 12:43 |
| siimo | theres no ram error im using old version of ubuntu and has been running stable for 19 days without rebooting.. | 12:43 |
| siimo | before i rebooted to run this CD | 12:44 |
| ikonia | that doesn't really mean much | 12:44 |
| ikonia | have you tried the CD on another machine yet | 12:44 |
| siimo | not to mention i been using suspend2ram a lot too, im pretty sure theres no hardware problem | 12:44 |
| siimo | no, ill try it on another machine now | 12:44 |
| ikonia | siimo: have you ran memcheck for a couple of hours ? | 12:44 |
| ikonia | as for what ever reason it's unable to mount what it consideres a root file system, which on a livecd is squashfs uncompressed to ram | 12:45 |
| siimo | ikonia: like i said theres no need to memcheck this is my everyday machine and is 100% stable.. like you say it could be CD fault or bug in the kernel | 12:45 |
| ikonia | siimo: are there any warnings before that message | 12:45 |
| ikonia | siimo: there is a need to memcheck it | 12:45 |
| ikonia | siimo: every day use does not mean no problem | 12:45 |
| siimo | true but a pre alpha quality software is more likely to be the problem than my stable system | 12:46 |
| ikonia | not nessasry at that problem | 12:46 |
| ikonia | you could have a 1 meg of fault and this hashmap wants to use that 1 meg | 12:46 |
| siimo | CD is fine | 12:48 |
| siimo | just tested in a VM | 12:48 |
| ikonia | well thats a good start | 12:48 |
| ikonia | and an excellent way to test | 12:48 |
| siimo | no i think might be incompatible with my hardware.. or maybe i have too many partitions i have 9 of them and ive had a live CD or two have problem with that | 12:49 |
| ikonia | nah, partitions shouldn't matter as it's unompcressing to ram | 12:49 |
| ikonia | and with 2GB it shouldn't need to touch the disk | 12:49 |
| ikonia | you should be able to boot with no physical disk attatched | 12:49 |
| siimo | i also no that i need to pass the noapic boot parameter othervise kernel panics too | 12:50 |
| ikonia | I don't see that as a major issue | 12:50 |
| ikonia | many boards need boot options | 12:50 |
| siimo | whats worrying is that in VM the cd booted up with the boot screen with various options | 12:50 |
| siimo | in real system it stops at boot prompt | 12:51 |
| ikonia | why is that worring ? | 12:51 |
| ikonia | worrying? | 12:51 |
| siimo | and i type "linux noapic" am i supposed to pass anything else | 12:51 |
| siimo | like kernel name | 12:51 |
| ikonia | no | 12:51 |
| ikonia | you type linux noapci ? where do you type that ? | 12:51 |
| siimo | like i said i dont get the boot screen with options.. i just get black screen with boot prompt | 12:51 |
| ikonia | are you pressing F6 boot boot options ? | 12:51 |
| siimo | pressing F1-6 has no effect | 12:52 |
| ikonia | siimo: what's a boot prompt ? | 12:52 |
| siimo | the word boot and a : after it | 12:52 |
| siimo | rest of the screen empty | 12:52 |
| ikonia | siimo: there is something very wrong there | 12:52 |
| ikonia | siimo: I suspect thats why your getting the wront rootFS | 12:53 |
| ikonia | siimo: your not giving the correct boot options from that boot prompt | 12:53 |
| ikonia | siimo: nor should you be execpted to though | 12:53 |
| ikonia | expected | 12:53 |
| siimo | the spalash menu should work,, not sure why it doesnt load | 12:53 |
| ikonia | yes, thats the problem there | 12:53 |
| ikonia | (not that the splash screen doesn't work - the fact that the splash screen is not there to pass the correct boot options) | 12:54 |
| siimo | ill give it another go brb | 12:55 |
| ikonia | I don't think rebooting will change anything | 12:55 |
| siimo | cool problem solved | 12:58 |
| siimo | i tried pressing f1 to f6 and managed to get txt help.. then typed install noapic and that worked.. i guess linux noapic was wrong | 12:59 |

| cycom | DanaG: not for 3d and compiz... | 22:02 |
| DanaG | Aah, right. | 22:02 |
| DanaG | Well, at least that situation is better than the situation with nvidia 71 drivers. | 22:03 |
| crdlb | cycom: what model is it? | 22:03 |
| DanaG | NVIDIA 71 is just plain broken -- and 'nv' sucks. | 22:03 |
| cycom | crdlb: what model of video card? Mobility Radeon X1300 | 22:03 |
| cycom | DanaG: I was fortunate enough to have a GeForce Go 7300 to stick in my laptop to replace the Mobility Radeon X1400 that was in it | 22:04 |
| crdlb | R500 should have compiz support with latest stuff | 22:04 |
| DanaG | You must've been doubly fortunate to have MXM. | 22:04 |
| DanaG | My next laptop will have an ATI HD3650. | 22:05 |
| cycom | crdlb: with which drivers? | 22:05 |
| crdlb | open source driver | 22:05 |
| DanaG | With the current state of radeonhd and that card, do the closed-source drivers give any benefit over the open ones? | 22:05 |
| cycom | crdlb: if so, AWESOME, because intrepid is the first release to support suspend/resume on that laptop as well :) | 22:06 |
| cycom | DanaG: MXM? | 22:06 |
| cycom | crdlb: I'll have to pull the Alpha 4 iso down and try it | 22:06 |
| crdlb | I know it requires mesa 7.1, which intrepid has | 22:06 |
| DanaG | MXM... a GPU on a card, that's changeable. | 22:06 |
| crdlb | I don't know if intrepid has all the other pieces though | 22:06 |
| cycom | DanaG: oh :) | 22:06 |
| crdlb | DanaG: radeonhd still has hardly any 3d support, right? | 22:07 |

| DanaG | ... anyway, open-source is a big thing. | 22:24 |
| DanaG | ... and nvidia's Windows control panel sucks; frankly, I prefer the ATI one. And ATI's Hydravision is now available on Vista; NView isn't. | 22:24 |
| DanaG | ... and you can use the awesome ATI Tray Tools with ATI..... but not with nvidia, of course. | 22:24 |
| DanaG | Ugh, this dmesg spam is lame. | 22:26 |
| DanaG | dmesg | grep preamble | wc -l | 22:26 |
| DanaG | 1533 | 22:26 |
| DanaG | [65165.329291] wlan0: switched to long barker preamble (BSSID=00:16:01:d6:9b:a8) | 22:26 |
| DanaG | [65168.460223] wlan0: switched to short barker preamble (BSSID=00:16:01:d6:9b:a8) .... over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over | 22:26 |
| cycom | crdlb: ok, compiz.real dumps errors about GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing | 22:35 |
| crdlb | cycom: what does 'glxinfo | grep direct' say? | 22:36 |
| cycom | crdlb: direct rendering: Yes | 22:36 |
| crdlb | cycom: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 22:36 |
| cycom | crdlb: it's the default from the liveCD, just FYI | 22:37 |
| cycom | my Xorg.conf that is | 22:38 |
| crdlb | but that's not what I'm looking for :> | 22:38 |
| cycom | crdlb: I understand :) | 22:38 |
| cycom | paste.ubuntu.com work for you? | 22:39 |
| crdlb | of course :) | 22:39 |
| cycom | http://paste.ubuntu.com/38048/ | 22:40 |
| cycom | there you go | 22:40 |
| cycom | ohho. compiz: found laptop using ati driver. | 22:42 |
| crdlb | ohhhh | 22:42 |
| crdlb | you ran compiz.real directly? | 22:43 |
| cycom | yes. also, I ran it as sudo | 22:43 |
| crdlb | argh | 22:43 |
| crdlb | why on earth would you use sudo? | 22:43 |
| cycom | all my fault. sorry :/ | 22:43 |
| crdlb | but now this makes sense | 22:43 |
| crdlb | run: SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz --replace | 22:43 |
| crdlb | LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 needs to be set for compiz to work on AIGLX | 22:44 |
| crdlb | which the compiz script (upstream: compiz-manager) handles for you | 22:44 |
| cycom | alrighty, so if I tell it SKIP_CHECK=yes, compiz should work? | 22:45 |
| crdlb | CHECKS* | 22:45 |
| crdlb | but yes, try that in a terminal | 22:46 |
| cycom | ok dokie | 22:46 |
| cycom | hrm... | 22:46 |
| cycom | I seem to be getting fading and things... | 22:46 |
| cycom | lets see if wobbly windows works | 22:46 |
| crdlb | press super+E | 22:46 |
| cycom | ah yes, expo works | 22:47 |
| cycom | amazing! | 22:47 |
| crdlb | nice, thx for testing :> | 22:47 |
| cycom | this means that I can install ubuntu on my Toshiba and be happy :) | 22:47 |
| cycom | thanks for the help! | 22:47 |
| * crdlb makes a note that R500 works with compiz in intrepid | 22:47 | |
| cycom | if my laptop comes out of suspend... | 22:48 |
| cycom | OH YEAH! | 22:48 |
| cycom | Works like a charm. | 22:48 |
| cycom | Time for an install | 22:49 |
| === DanaG1 is now known as DanaG | ||
| cycom | hey crdlb, any idea what's up with the psychadelic ptys and such on boot? | 23:27 |
| crdlb | not a clue | 23:28 |
| crdlb | sounds like a feature :P | 23:28 |
| cycom | I'm getting like black and gray or red and gray lines or just a bunch of blocks and things | 23:28 |
| cycom | but then X pops up just fine | 23:28 |
| cycom | very strange. | 23:28 |
| cycom | I can't read any boot messages at all. | 23:28 |
| cycom | more than one laptop too. NVidia AND ATI video cards. | 23:28 |
| JollyGiant | cycom: blacklist uvesafb in the initramfs | 23:43 |
| JollyGiant | cycom: or maybe install v86d | 23:44 |
