There's so many of them I haven't a clue if I picked the one indicated by the download page [05:31] valiant8086: You're after #ubuntu; this is discussion of the development release, Intrepid Ibex. [05:39] Hi. [05:40] er, sorry, didn't need to say hi again, heh. but anyway, I'm downloading 8.04. Is this the right place to ask a question about dual booting with a system that's already dual booting xp and vista? [05:41] valiant8086: Not really; you'd be after #ubuntu. [05:41] darn, heh, so just plain ubuntu. wonder if I can just get mirc to connect directly instead of looking through over 300 channels [05:41] triple booting is a pain atleast it ws for me [05:41] valiant8086: I'd suggest that "/join #ubuntu" is likely to work. [05:42] It's a bit noisy, but you should hopefully be able to get an answer there. If not, ubuntuforums is a good resource. And there's always google; most questions have been asked and answered before. [05:42] yeah and it really should be for me since dual booting vista and xp is already a pain [05:43] ok, I think I'll part and see if I can go confuse someone [05:43] latesx [05:43] er [05:43] rofl [05:51] Argh, it's way hard to tweak the touchpad tap time when even normal clicking is [05:51] ........

[05:59] Nope, it goes to logon screen for me.; [06:01] Bug 250506 it is [06:01] Launchpad bug 250506 in consolekit "shutdown and restart act as logout" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/250506 [06:02] it's rather popular that bugger [06:04] how come its not an issue to add 3rd party soucres with the "hardy" tag to ibex? [06:05] Fredd: What makes you think it isnt? :) [06:05] well i added the wine 1.1.2 sources for hardy and they are working fine [06:05] other than wine phails [06:06] Yup, that'll be the case. Sometimes. [06:07] Basically, packages from other series aren't guaranteed to be installable (because they depend on packages not in Intrepid), or less often because a lib broke its ABI. [06:07] RAOF: although WINE itself is rather resilient to such things if you override the package dependencies [06:08] You might end up missing features because of missing and/or changed libraries but it should still somewhat work [07:00] RAOF: I want to try out nouveau on that old laptop, but xserver-xorg-video-nouveau depends on the unavailable linux-nouveau-modules; how do I build that? [07:00] It doesn't show up in module-assistant, and I don't remember offhand how to build modules while not in a full source tree dir. [07:00] DanaG: drm-modules is the thing you should find in module-assistant. [07:01] DanaG: The nouveau wiki has instructions, but basically you just need to build the drm-modules module-assistant package. [07:01] aah, drm-modules, not nouveau. [07:01] At some point I'll play with dkms and remove the module-assistant fun entirely. [07:04] Cool. [07:04] So the drm-modules 'provides' nouveau-modules, right? [07:04] Right. [07:04] It does so for hysterical raisins. [07:04] Dang, now I'm kinda' hungry. [07:05] =P [07:06] So, what is nouveau currently capable of? [07:07] Fast 2d, dual head. [07:07] Oh, and bicubic Xv rescaling. [07:08] If you feel the need to play with unfinished stuff, it'll do OpenArena pretty well. On nv4x, at least. [07:08] Aah, it'll be good not to have LAAAAG even on things as simple as switching tabs in a console. [07:08] nv4x? Can't say I know nvidia's numbering very well. [07:09] Geforece 6 & 7. [07:09] For example, my GeForce Go 7600 is G73... but I didn't know the 'NV#" name. [07:09] nv4x. [07:09] I'll be using Nouveau on the one that was using the 71.xx drivers for the GeForce 4-is-really-a-2 420 Go. [07:09] (off topic) has anyone here dual booted ubuntu w/ leopard? [07:10] Specifically, that's the number that nouveau reads from the chip on start. [07:10] :) [07:10] I presume that your geforce 4MX will be a nv2x chip. [07:11] (TNT2 is nv04, the earliest card supported by nouveau) [07:11] no, that's TNT [07:11] Oh, I lie then. [07:11] TNT2 is...? [07:11] * crdlb has one :> [07:12] 05 or 06 [07:12] Well, then, nouveau goes all the way down to TNT. [07:14] crdlb: How does nouveau go on your TNT? [07:14] hi, I need an help/suggestion about intrepid upgrade [07:15] update-manager -d was killed (my fault :P) before the end [07:16] rerunning it did nothing, it tried to upgrade packages but nothing happened because there was some error with apt libs [07:17] it has no crash recovery system.. [07:17] I almost solved everything (I think) running dpkg --configure -a, apt-get -f install and upgrading everything [07:18] but I'd like to know if update-manager does anything else after package upgrading that I should do manually [07:19] fargiolas: i think it might remove obsolete packages [07:19] autoremove? [07:19] well, it would remove obsolete packages, not quite the same as apt-get autoremove [07:20] Hmm, I see no visible difference between nv and Nouveau on that old laptop. [07:20] Wait, dpms is working better than nv, at least. [07:20] danbhfive: ok but I think it calls dpkg/apt to do it right? so there is surely a way to do things manually [07:21] Aah: [07:22] .. but that's for 3D, right? I don't really plan to do 3D on it. [07:22] fargiolas: yeah, dpkg. but, you would have to know which packages to remove, or use something like deborphan [07:22] DanaG: ?? [07:22] * fargiolas looks at deborphan [07:23] fargiolas: regardless, clean installs are best : P [07:24] DanaG: It should do dual-head better than nv, I think. It might be a bit faster than nv, too, but your card is both less powerful and less well supported than my nv4x :) [07:24] danbhfive: sure but I have no time do it now and I needed a couple of new libraries.. [07:25] Oh, it does do 2D composite better. [07:25] anyway update-manager *should* have some kind of crash recovery system, it's too critical to fail if killed [07:25] Aah, geforce2 is nv11 and nv14; 4mx is 17 and 18. [07:25] well then I suspect that you wont care much about remove obsolete files. If they conflict with anything, they will get removed anyway [07:26] GeForce 6 (NV4x) [07:26] GeForce 7 (G7x) [07:26] that's what it lists as names. [07:26] DanaG: From where? Because G7x is also nv4x ;) [07:26] Oh yeah, and now it's not mad-flickery like it was before. [07:26] Look in xorg log. [07:27] DanaG: Yeah. There's both nv4x and G7x [07:27] (II) NOUVEAU driver for NVIDIA chipset families : (and that list). [07:27] DanaG: Oooh. If it's a laptop, you'll also get pretty dithering. [07:27] That's quite nice for those with 6-bit laptop panels. [07:27] (ie: almost everyone). [07:27] Yeah, it looked like crap before. [07:28] Worst laptop I've ever used: P2 266 with NeoMagic. [07:28] 16-bit color LCD. [07:28] NOt 18. 16. [07:28] 565? Crazy. [07:28] ... and only 2.5 megs of video RAM. [07:29] 2.5 megs of video RAM wasn't enough to even DRAW the desktop at 32-bit, regardless of LCD type. [07:29] another thing, did anything change with restricted drivers, kernel module management? I had nvperfkit nvidia drivers installed manually and intrepid uses them with no complain and lists them in restricted manager.. that surely did not happen in hardy [07:29] I'm not entirely sure about that panel, actualy. [07:30] Odd: no 3D DRI. Direct Rendering: no. [07:30] Yeah, that's right. [07:31] You'll need to do more than install my packages to get 3d (and 3d is hideously unfinished for < nv3x). [07:31] I don't distribute the 3d part in deference to upstream's wishes. [07:32] Aah. What's the reasoning? [07:32] You can play with the gallium-0.1 branch of their mesa tree, if you want; it's fairly easy (nouveau wiki has details) [07:32] Eeh, on a GPU that old, on a spare system, it's not worth bothering with. [07:32] DanaG: The reasoning? It's horribly unfinished, the devs know it, and shipping it in a package gives an untrue impression of supportedness. [07:33] Basically, they don't need testing of the 3d; there's tons of easy work to do. [07:33] Aah. [07:34] Zwhoa, suspend and resume worked. [07:35] Yes, "Zwhoa" [07:35] What, with nouveau? LIES! [07:35] Yeah, with nouveau. [07:35] Perhaps Ubuntu's scripts did something about it. [07:35] Heh, and my ssh session into the box also resumed. [07:36] Hm. Maybe the 'support some sort of suspend/resume with < nv3x' patches got into the main tree. [07:37] Does Nouveau get along with nvidiafb? [07:37] another little question: is there a way to get boot messages back while waitning for the uvesafb bug to be fixed? [07:37] Very much no. [07:38] fargiolas: For you, yes. Just remove the 'splash' from your grub line. [07:38] RAOF: no splash in the grub line, "ro quiet vga=791" [07:38] fargiolas: Oh, then you can remove the vga bit. [07:39] That's not going to work until uvesafb is fixed! [07:39] RAOF: thanks that's what I wanted to know :P (too lazy to try it ;)) let's remove that vga bit then [07:47] Odd... after DPMS power off and restore... it goes back to being all flickery. [07:48] * RAOF is frankly amazed that it survived a suspend. [07:48] Oh, the other thing nouveau can get you is kernel modesetting on nv5x, should I build drm from that particular branch. [07:49] NV5? What's that one? [07:49] Oh yeah, I think the flickering is just the LCD warming up. [07:49] This LCD in that laptop is really odd... [07:49] nv5x. AKA g80/g90, AKA geforce {8,9} [07:49] Picture this: take every set of adjacent frames sent to the thing, and apply a horizontal-blinds effect between them. [07:50] Aah, I don't own such a card; after my 7600, I'm going to ATI next. [08:13] Is Network Manager failing to automatically reconnect to a wireless network after a remote disconnect (as in, an AP/router crash) a bug or a feature? [08:21] Also, why does an auto-hidden task bar cause windows to move upward/downward when it rolls in/out? [08:41] Hmm, does the packaged Murrine now do transparency? [08:42] I'm getting semitransparent menubars and such. [08:42] Is http://phpfi.com/344807 a known issue? [08:43] (Or maybe there is no issue) [08:43] DanaG: Yes. [08:45] hi all [08:48] DanaG: and roundness menu for application with plugins (rhythmbox eg) [08:49] Roundness menu? [08:49] yes :o) [08:49] I'm asking what you mean; that's not a yes or no question. =P [08:49] Argh, Xorg is using 40% CPU, and making everything slow. [08:49] menu with radius [08:50] wait a shaot 2sec [08:50] shot* [08:51] http://img28.picoodle.com/data/img28/3/8/18/f_radiusmenum_50466df.jpg [08:51] Ugh, at 40% CPU, it's way not usable. [08:51] Aah, "rounded" [08:51] sorry [08:51] rounded >added to brain [08:52] Or you could say "rounded corners on menus" or something like that. [08:52] ok [08:53] I wish I could get the Murrine engine to match the Nodoka engine as closely as looks good (and I actually LIKE the rounded scrollbars in Nodoka). [08:53] http://picpaste.com/screenshot-orange-nodoka.png [08:53] http://picpaste.com/screenshot-orange-nodoka-2.png [08:54] There's a slight difference there. [08:55] Is nouveau not doing acceleration on Composite, or is it just that that video chip is weaksauce? (heh, weaksauce.) [08:56] DanaG: Nouveau _should_ be accelerating Composite; check in Xorg.0.log that it's enabled (and ensure that ShadowFB isn't). [08:56] It's also a weak CPU; P4-Celeron 1.6GHz. [08:58] I like orange; it's a cool color. [08:59] It says composite is enabled; enabling overlay with smart blitter fallback. [09:00] Why not pastebin the log; that's always fun. [09:00] Nouveau the free nvidia driver is in intrepid ? [09:01] !info nouveau [09:01] Package nouveau does not exist in intrepid [09:01] :o( [09:01] thank you bazhang [09:01] zniavre: Don't bother with it yet, you're better odff sticking with nv [09:01] !nouveau | zniavre this is what you're thinking of [09:01] zniavre this is what you're thinking of: Nouveau is an experimental open-source nVidia driver, aiming for full 3d support. Homepage at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/ - EXPERIMENTAL packages at https://launchpad.net/~raof/+archive [09:02] Nouveau doesn't do 3D yet and only barely works in 2D. Without 3D support it really is no better than nv [09:03] LSD|Ninja: "Barely does 2d" isn't really accurate, unless you're talking about nv5x. [09:04] RAOF: Even the team behind it don't guarantee the 2D half, they say as much on their site [09:04] Right. Guarantee != barely works. [09:05] It's certainly still experimental, and things can (and occasionally do) break. [09:06] But it's quite usable for 2d right now; much of the breakage is 'it doesn't build against $NEW_KERNEL_VERSION' [09:06] Point still stands though, if you're going in to it thinking it's a silver bullet for nVidia ills you're going to be sorely disappointed [09:06] Right. [09:07] I wouldn't mind the binary drivers on this old laptop.... but they don't work at all. Won't even start Xorg. [09:07] Although I'd be happy to recommend it to anyone who's satisfied with nv (and has a card older than a geforce 8) [09:07] s/this/the/ [09:07] I'd say, use nouveau only for things not supported by 173 or 177 drivers. [09:07] It has no advantage over nv atm though, there's really no point in going to all the trouble to get it going [09:08] Isn't it supposedly better at 2D? [09:08] ... or is it not really? [09:08] It's faster, and has better quality stuff. And possibly does dual-head better, but I haven't tested recent nv. [09:08] I'd believe that it does look better. [09:08] Certainly on an 18-bit panel it will; it's got better dithering. [09:09] It still looks/feels as crap as nV here [09:09] It's got blob-equivalent dithering. I'm not quite sure why nv doesn't do that, actually. [09:09] Heh, now some workstation laptops are coming out with full 24-bit panels. [09:09] That's 8 bits per color. [09:10] I doubt most people could really tell teh diff between an 18 bit and a 24 bit panel. Those that can probably shouldn't be using LCDs anyway. [09:10] HP has a "DreamColor" desktop monitor with 10 bits per pixel (and thus 30 bit color). [09:10] oh yeah, pastebin: http://pastebin.com/f3724ac39 [09:10] LSD|Ninja: You're right; my external LCD is 24bit, my laptop is 18bit. Once proper dithering is turned on, I can't tell the difference (in their colour reproduction, at least). [09:11] It's easy to notice broken dithering, though, and nv has broken dithering. [09:12] I do find it funny that my 17" laptop LCD is so much dimmer than the LCDs on every one of the 4 or so old laptops we have around here. [09:15] Eeh, it's not "so much"... but it definitely is dimmer. [09:16] Hey =) some keys are missing from my keyboard since going to intrepid. [09:16] I mean, just one.

If I close it, firefox closes/crashes (?) too. === regel is now known as Regel [21:09] my system boot time is really long; especially vol_id it taking a long time - can anybody have a glance at my bootchart and maybe tell me what to do? http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/8355/intrepid200808168ls0.png [21:30] looks like there is an issue with cairo-dock [21:36] is there any known problem with nautilus and drag and drop? I cannot move files nor copy them nor change icon position with the mouse [21:51] Is there a channel for the network manager ? === fargiolas is now known as fargiolas|afk [22:39] re [22:39] found the solution about the middle button-scroll: http://mvogt.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/xorg-evdev-and-emulatewheel/ [22:39] perhaps that could be included? [23:20] did adobe flash plugin + firefox just suddenly getting really slow for anyone else? [23:21] sites that worked well with flash just a few days ago suddenly display _all actions_ (clickable buttons, streaming video, etc.) very slowly [23:25] Hey, I've got new weird things Intrepid has been making to my computer. [23:26] Instead of a loading screen, I get retro-art (really cool b/w patterns) [23:27] And fn+f7, fn+f8 which controls brightness aren't detected by Ubuntu, so no fancy brightness level [23:35] Lunks: you may need to configure such things with xev and xmonad [23:36] I'm sorry, I didn't understand tomasko [23:36] if you're using gnome, i can't really say what you need to do to configure it. the only reason i'm on intrepid is that kde 4.1 is on it stock [23:39] er, sorry not xmonad, xmodmap [23:39] But what does xev do [23:39] xev gives you keycodes to keys like fn and f7 [23:39] if you are on a thinkpad, just install thinkkeys [23:40] XLookupString gives 0 bytes: [23:41] you use xmodmap to assign them to names like Menu, etc. found in a header file on your system... the name of which is escaping me [23:41] state 0x0, keycode 97 (keysym 0xff24, Romaji), same_screen YES, [23:41] then in your window manager, you would ask it to use whatever "Menu" maps to as a shortcut for an action like open up the menu, etc. [23:41] Lunks: yes, the 97 is relevant [23:42] Lunks: google around for xev and xmodmap, there are tons of resources on this [23:42] hmm, well again.. giving but not getting anything. later [23:43] And he didn't ask anything
