[00:19] How do I manually set touchpad speed / sensitivity in Xorg.conf? ( right now I have to go across the touchad 16 times to move the cursor from one side of the screen to the other ) [00:43] Jordan_U, this may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5730399 [00:45] x1250: My problem is with the speed of the cursor, not with the sensitivity to tapping [00:51] Jordan_U, synaptics manual claims to cover "Movement with adjustable, non-linear acceleration and speed." [01:01] am trying to install kde from an alpha1 install.. is that cool? [01:02] 285 files .. [01:03] i'll never try that stunt again.. it took close to an hour to install alpha1 [01:07] gx009: Alpha 1? Why are you doing that? [01:08] i still had that one in my stash .. and it still worked.. [01:10] gx009: But it will probably be more downloading to get current than if you had just grabbed alpha 5 [01:11] truth is i wanted kde but the DL links were bad .. so i thought i could use the alpha1 disc and and then install kde .. [01:12] You certainly can, yes. [01:12] but you are right.. if i wouldve DL alpha 5 i wouldve saved a lot of time [01:40] my default settings changed to 800x600 [01:41] and monitor type changed to generic from LG700E, and graphic card chaged to vesa compliant from i810 ,,what to do [01:41] ???? [01:43] anybody hav any idea, I am on intrepid!!! [01:45] this problem is not new and was corrected in gutsy and hardy by configuring xorg properly , but this time it's not doing it, some problem with resolution , during logon it dumps me to low resolution mode [01:45] did ya upgrade to intrepid or clean instlal it? [01:45] upgrade [01:45] yesterday [01:46] i'd certainly start with a totally plain xorg.conf since that file isn't used anymore [01:46] except to load binary drivers [01:46] actually 27 hrs to be precise [01:47] it worked fine for and i rebooted 3 or 4 times with no problem , [01:47] so you are suggesting clean install [01:47] no. i am suggesting running the command to replace xorg.conf with a default version [01:48] how to do it [01:48] i always configure via displayconfigure-gtk [01:48] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [01:48] I am not into development very much [01:49] shut the system down and flea power it before you reboot [01:49] xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration [01:49] file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080907061929 [01:50] so i think it is done [01:51] flea power it before you reboot?? what this mean , what is flea [01:51] drain all power from the baord by unplugging the power cord and holding in the power switch for 30 seconds [01:52] Ok , trying will report back soon , thanks for helping out [02:12] i wonder, has a package of django 1.0 been made yet. [02:13] there's a python-django in here [02:13] Could someone help me figure out why my CD drive isn't recognized under 8.10? [02:13] because it's alpha software? === avis- is now known as avis [02:45] bsnider has left the room but thanks, my system recovered from that error, thanks a lot!!

[02:58] shadowhywind: systemsettings -> region and language -> time [03:03] can we run virtualbox on intrepid, i am having kernel issues and i think it may not be solved [03:04] is intrepid new theme a early April Fools joke? [03:04] vinu76jsr: Yes, I suggest you grab version 2.0 from their site though [03:05] emet i think is true, ubuntu will come with a new theme [03:06] or.. are u saying that new theme is horrible? [03:06] EagleSn, it looks terrible [03:06] okay [03:06] i havent seen it, i use kubuntu [03:06] emet: RIght now it's pretty much the same as Hardy, what are you looking at? [03:06] any capture please? [03:06] http://news.softpedia.com/images/news2/Ubuntu-8-10-Alpha-5-Screenshot-Tour-9.jpg [03:07] emet: Oh, that window decoration is a bug, you don't see it if you use compiz BTW [03:09] oh [03:09] is the planned new theme still secret? [03:10] emet: Not so much secret so much as so far non existent :) [03:11] is it something that takes months to make? [03:11] I am not sure what's involved [03:11] emet: In case you are curious, what Intrepid looks like on my box ( default settings ) : http://trogdoor.googlepages.com/screenshot.png [03:13] jordan_u downloading version 2.0 [03:14] they hav no version available for intrepid [03:15] only upto gutsy is available [03:15] vinu76jsr: The Hardy version works for me [03:15] Jordan_U, are you trogdoor from digg?

[04:03] I burned the new version but I can't get the cd to boot , I hear the confirmation tones like it loaded but no display, even tried safe graphics mode no dice. Any thoughts [04:12] How's the stability in Intrepid, right now? I'm considering upgrading to help with debugging, but I don't want to if it'll just kill my system [04:13] x1250 sorry fot the delay, I am using ssh 192.168.2.89 -p#### [04:13] x1250: if i do ssh-p#### 192.168.2.86 i get bad port '#### 192.168.2.86' [04:26] actraully when i use ssh 192.168.2.86 -p#### i now get coonect to host 192.168.2.86 -p#### port 22:connection refused [04:48] hay all having a pit of a problem with ssh, i do ssh 192.168.2.78 -p#### i get ssh:connect to host 192.168.2.78 -p#### port 22: connection refused [04:52] anyone notice that the folders in 'Places' has strange GNOME icon instead of Human icon? [04:53] yup [04:53] i would presume that's a known bug [04:57] yaeh, its been veryyyyyyyyyy long time [04:57] it must be fix [05:14] is there any way I can change my kde3 themes? === voidmage-away is now known as voidmage [05:14] in intrepid? [05:18] closest way I found to do it was to revert main to hardy, install kcontrol, then change back to intrepid [07:10] is there any good reason why I shouldn't have /usr/include/stddef.h with build-essential installed? [07:30] lost my connection there, does anyone know what I must install to get these headers? [08:15] woot, i just got alpha5 working in virtualbox [09:16] great, evince in intrepid seems to work for most pdfs finally [11:00] EXA stops working on ATI R500 since the last xorg-driver-radeon update [11:01] you need to return back to XAA or everything on Xorg is very slow [11:04] and i find on my xorg log "Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)" [11:05] pepie34; i've got r500 and same problem. how do i revert to xaa? [11:05] on the device section of /etc/X11/xorg.con [11:06] replace [11:06] Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" [11:06] by [11:06] Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" [11:06] but i found something else [11:06] the nvidia thing [11:07] i've nvidia-* package installed that i never asked for [11:07] can you look at it also ? [11:07] I uninstalled it [11:07] should I fix xaa first? [11:08] yes try XAA, you will get normal speed on Xorg but with no glx extension [11:08] I try right now t uninstall the nvidia thing and reload my X server [11:08] see you in few minutes [11:08] brb, need to restart X [11:08] bye [11:16] ok I think i found it [11:16] without this nvidia packaged i vere asked for uinstalled [11:16] everything is fine [11:16] even on EXA [11:16] ... [11:19] taggie [11:19] pepie34: (II) RADEON(0): XAA Render acceleration unsupported on Radeon 9500/9700 and newer. Please use EXA instead. [11:20] can you look at nvidia* packages installed [11:20] but, later in xorg log, i get: (II) RADEON(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA) [11:20] and remove them then go back to EXA accelleration [11:20] i'll try, one second. [11:21] first, do you have nvidia* packages installed [11:21] ? [11:22] yes, lots of nvidia* [11:23] if i remove, synaptic wants to remove linux-restricted-modules [11:23] i assume a reboot is in order? [11:24] brb [11:28] pepie34; no change [11:30] are you still in xAA [11:30] can you put EXA on the xorg.conf file [11:30] is there a definitive way to check quickly? [11:31] cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep EXA [11:31] or [11:31] cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep XAA [11:33] (==) RADEON(0): Using XAA acceleration architecture [11:33] (II) RADEON(0): XAA Render acceleration unsupported on Radeon 9500/9700 and newer. Please use EXA instead. [11:33] (II) RADEON(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA) [11:33] sorry, don't know the pastebin rules, what is the line limit for pastes? [11:33] OK so edit the device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:33] i'll put XAA in [11:34] and change Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" [11:34] to [11:34] Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" [11:34] then relauch Xorg [11:34] one sec [11:34] I don't what is the pastebin limit, [11:34] I'm not admin here [11:35] Ok talks in the wind ------->[] [11:35] glxinfo still core dumps, but EXA is running [11:36] and what about general speed impression [11:36] much better. [11:36] firefox is a critical apps can you run it and see how munch xorg consume spu [11:38] while restoring 4 tabs, 70% cpu, when idle, <1% [11:38] yeah, looks pretty normal [11:39] what happen when you drag down a page [11:40] fluid, fast. no issue. [11:40] firefox takes 30-45% cpu [11:40] no so cool [11:41] ? [11:41] but at east it seems better for you [11:41] yes, this is much better. still no glx, but faster 2d [11:41] i can't do more for you [11:41] thanks [11:44] I think the new "Eject" button in Nautilus is great, I just don't want it on my hard drives. Does anyone know a way to disable it, or if there's a bug report for this? [11:44] I'm having a hard time thinking up search queries for this. [11:54] the latest intrepid kernel won't boot my computer -- it doesn't appear to be loading the correct modules in the initrd stage, and it can't find the hard drive [11:55] also, not with interpid and with hardy, my eth0 device shows a very strange number of dropped packets: RX packets:178 errors:0 dropped:1867048994 (this is about 3 minutes after bootup) [11:56] not just with intrepid* [11:56] the dropped packet number seems to go up by a few hundred million a second [12:05] hello howcome intrepid changed kernel? [12:10] can anyone confirm intrepid has changed kernel? [12:11] now intrepid has the 2.6.27-2-generic [12:11] yes, there was an update to the 2.6.27-2-generic kernel [12:12] don't know why the version number wasn't bumped, havent read the changelog [12:12] I've update it a week ago [12:12] *updated [12:38] hi thunderbird wont start up on my machine, it says: t-bird is already running, but is not responding... any ideas? [12:39] chronographer: type "sudo killall -9 thunderbird [12:40] thunderbird: no process killed [12:40] and I get the same message [12:40] sorry... i don't know [12:41] k [12:41] thanks [12:41] Have you tried ps -x ? [12:41] ps -x | grep thunderbird [12:42] then you should just kill all the pids showing up. Thunderbird comes up 3 times in my ps -x list. [12:42] that command didn't work for me... 'Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'?' [12:43] but I am not running thunderbird ... I am sure of it. maybe i will apt-get purge it and try again/ [12:43] Hold on [12:43] You did type a | and not a / right? [12:43] I copy pasted [12:44] Just try a "ps -x" then [12:44] And manually look for a mention of thunderbird [12:44] then you just need to kill the number in front of it [12:44] not there [12:45] killall thunderbird [12:45] thunderbird: no process killed [12:45] Yes, but that won't work, because thunderbird doesn't run under that name [12:46] well its not running, i can pastebin it to prove it if you like... its a bogus error message. [12:47] Try killall /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin [12:47] That killed it on my machine [12:47] If that doesn't work... well, I have no idea really :P [12:47] Sorry [12:48] I am trying to purge it, got "/usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin: No such file or directory [12:48] " [12:48] How strange [12:50] you know what... it was because I used an old ~/.mozilla-thunderbird folder... [12:50] maybe I had copied it over when t-bird was running? [12:51] I honestly don't know, in my entire ubuntu career, thunderbird has never ever acted up. [12:51] Can't say the same for firefox, though :P [12:52] me too, I have used this same folder since I was on debian with thunderbird! now it bloody wont start! [12:52] yeah, the chrome idea of separate processes for tabs would fix near al of my firefox freezes though! [12:55] Hmm, I hope that doesn't happen to me in the future! [12:56] That's the only idea I really liked about chrome, the seperate processes :) [12:58] I have a problem with getting glx working on an Intel chip but I see a rather odd message in Xorg.0.log: Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [13:00] not quite sure why it assumes I have an nvidia [13:03] Shall I just report it as a bug? I would like to help fix the problem, just not sure where to start with this one. [13:10] glx is nvidia afaik [13:11] what graphics card do you have? [13:11] he said intel [13:12] I dont have intrepid, but I updated to kernel 2.6.27rc5 and I am having problems with getting my graphics driver to work, can someone help me with this or is this the wrong channel? [13:13] chronographer: er yea, intel :) [13:15] try another kernel maybe, perhaps 2.6.27-1-generic which is what I use and which works fine [13:15] JontheEchidna: oh yeah... why would you want glx working? [13:15] it is specifically nvidia right? [13:16] yes [13:16] but that's the problem [13:16] well, glx normally works ok with intel [13:16] ok as it can be anyway [13:16] not nvidia-glx-* ?? [13:17] glx gears or someting like that? [13:17] this is a notebook, n nvidia chips here :) [13:17] glxinfo segfaults [13:17] I get a bunch of Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display.. [13:17] then it segfaults [13:19] hi [13:19] but I think the problem is xorg is not initialising glx because I do not have an nvidia. [13:30] MrKennie [13:30] I missed the nvidia-glx-* thing, there was one package installed and removing it fixed the problem. [13:31] I don"t know why but i get a lot of nvidia-* package installed [13:31] and I'm an idiot because I restarted X without noting down what package it was [13:31] removing it resolve my problem [13:32] yea, I'm not sure why anything nvidia is installed in the first place. [13:33] there was a linux-restricted update [13:33] a few days ago [13:33] ... [13:33] is there a reason restricted drivers are all part of one package? [13:34] wondered that for a while. [13:34] the probleme is that normally resticted-manager installed needed package [13:35] i don't know why nvidia has been installed on my radeon computer ... [13:36] is there anyone using ath9k driver for atheros ? [13:36] not working sin,ce friday [13:59] Hello [14:09] was just checking of upgrading was no longer strongly discouraged... obviously it still it [15:22] I'm having a very strange problem where some websites don't load at all [15:23] they work on other computers, but not mine, regardless of browser (konq, FF, or links) [15:24] it will just say "waiting for planetkde.org" forever [15:25] DNS problems? [15:27] EagleSn: if I try to ping the server it will look up the IP address fine and recieve responses [15:27] but trying to do anything fails [15:28] and it's not just HTTP; trying to use the SVN from svn.kde.org also fails [15:39] is there a mailinglist that this would be appropriate for? === hdevalence is now known as hdevalence|away [15:50] last night I ran a scan with clamTK and it found 3 viruses on my system. Quarantine does not have anything in it.How do I clean/remove these viruses and how do I know they are gone? [15:51] rm -rf ? [15:59] Hobbsee: the problem is I don't see what files are infected [16:00] ah. then i don't know. [16:35] I have to problems with pidgin: (1) I can't use the invisible status, it disconnects with a "read error", and (2) adding friends seems to only save them locally, so every time you restart pidgin it will say there is a difference between your local list and the remote server list, and if you would like to add your friends. I just want to through pidgin in the trash. [16:44] x1250: what chat-protocol? [16:45] MSN [16:45] Ampelbein, I use only MSN, so I don't know if any other === emma_ is now known as emma [16:49] x1250: there could be a problem with your profile. try renaming the .pidgin-folder in your home, then reconfigure msn and try again. if that does not solve it, please file a bug on launchpad. [16:49] for a few days ath9k stops working [16:49] i get authentification time out [16:50] Ampelbein, musictracker was responsible for the "read error" when using invisible status. Disabling it makes invisible status usable again. [16:50] (ath9k ----> driver for new atheros wifi chipset) [16:51] x1250: then please file a bug about musictracker-plugin on launchpad. (in pidgin) then we can send to developers to have them fix the problem. [16:52] yes [17:03] Hi. I'm having big problems getting nvidia and ibex5 working. Now I'm at 800x600 and unable to enable the extra desktop effect [17:04] jakobbg, are you sure you've got the nvidia driver instlaled? [17:05] bsnider: gui says so, and have installed this: http://jakobbg.pastebin.com/m6167befa [17:06] what do you mean gui says so? [17:07] bsnider: I used "Hardware drivers" and enabled it. And they say "In use" there. [17:07] yeah, last i saw jockey's broken so i wouldn't bet on that horse [17:08] open up your xorg.conf file in gedit [17:08] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:08] I vim it, but yes :) [17:08] pastebin its contents please [17:09] bsnider: http://jakobbg.pastebin.com/m2ffc34a0 [17:10] i had to add the vendorname line under the driver line [17:10] to get mine to load [17:11] VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" [17:11] put that int he device section under the driver [17:11] huh. ok [17:11] just insert that and restart x? [17:12] restart x with ctrl+alt+backspace [17:12] yes. 2seconds [17:12] yeah, do it young man [17:13] hm. no change. [17:13] which card do you have?

[17:15] oh yes. very nice, even :) [17:15] good [17:15] you've got the right one installed, the 177 driver [17:16] i tried the two others as well, but no change in appearance. [17:16] v173 and ... an old one [17:16] alright, here's what i'll do. i'll pastebin my xoprg.conf, and you can just copy-paste it into yours, k?
