[00:07] I have a MacBook and when I boot up it freezes halfway through the orange bar [00:07] I have to hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to see some text messages, no explicit error though [00:07] But it still won't continue booting. [00:07] I have to hit Fn + Ctrl + Alt + Command + Backspace [00:08] Or some smaller combination of those keys [00:08] then it continues booting fine (without the usplash screen though) === Pici` is now known as Pici [00:15] Hi. is alpha 6 released ? [00:16] i guess not v_v [00:16] ok [00:18] alpha 6 seems to be out [00:19] it's on the dl page at least [00:30] christ [00:31] i pasted the link to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/alpha-6/intrepid-desktop-i386.iso.torrent in 'ubuntu [00:31] and i get banned [00:31] that chan is going to shite [00:31] ha ha - you're Jack_Sparrow? [00:31] no he banned me [00:32] ya they're kinda super peeved over there [00:32] because i announced that it was released? [00:32] well he can go and sh**e [00:32] it would seem that way - i think it's the links they get mad about [00:32] blayde_, coming up to new releases and on release day, torrent links are handy [00:33] you should have been in the release_party channel when hardy came out [00:33] saves on bandwidth, and also spreading the word [00:33] people were getting banned left and right [00:33] blayde_, been there [00:33] generic, blayde_: it's offtopic in #ubuntu first of all. Your current discussion isn't appropriate at all now either. [00:33] ya i always seed the lastest alpha but i just wait til my bittorrent client is yelling at me [00:33] yup thanks jrib [00:33] and i [00:33] 'll be quiet now [00:34] its called dickfear ;) [00:34] but anyway, i have a question i wonder if any od you can help me [00:34] shhh no talking ! [00:34] :P [00:34] ha ha - i say fire away! [00:41] blayde_: what makes you think a whole lot of often new users would be suitable in downloading, and using, a development release of ubuntu, which may eat your hard drive? [00:41] since upgrading to ibex alpha 5 yesterday xorg uses xorg.conf.failsafe for some reason, i have no idea why :( [00:41] i also cant Ctrl+Alt+F5 to restart gdm, all i see is a blinking cursor [00:41] anyone have any idea how i can find out why xorg is using failsafe ? [00:42] sorry, my line dropped [00:42] Hobbsee: umm... i didn't post the link... [00:42] anyone have any idea what could cause xorg to use xorg.conf.failsafe? [00:42] blayde_: as for -release-party, those images occasionally do get changed, before the released mail is sent out, if something major is discovered late - and you wouldn't want everyone downloading the wrong thing, do you? [00:42] blayde_: oh, my error. the first was for generic [00:43] Hobbsee: and i didn't really post any links in the release party either - that's why i saw everyone getting banned [00:44] blayde_: right. just giving you the reasoning for why :) [00:44] besides, i thought we mostly removed this time, not banned. [00:46] ya i don't really know what the policy is... and i hate to say it but i have no idea what to do for you, brainsonfire [00:47] brainsonfire: yeah, hang on [00:47] :( [00:51] brainsonfire: in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf # out ### FailsafeXServer=/etc/gdm/failsafeXServer [00:52] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart - it should give you a text error with the option to view the log === Hobbsee changed the topic of #ubuntu+1 to: Intrepid Ibex Alpha 6 Released | Ibex is still alpha software, and may break your system [00:57] hm, that had no response. [01:09] I have a MacBook and when I boot up it freezes halfway through the orange bar... I have to hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to see some text messages, no explicit error though [01:10] But it still won't continue booting. I have to hit Fn + Ctrl + Alt + Command + Backspace then it continues booting fine (without the usplash screen though) [01:17] oh nice [01:17] it got releasedah [01:19] will f-spot 0.5.0 make into intrepid, or is the freeze solid? [01:21] i hate f-spot [01:21] generic: i am sorry to hear that [01:24] Does changing brightness and contrast work for anyone in totem? Changing their values in here does nothing :( [01:27] hmm [01:27] im no longer able to adjust the brightness on my laptop's LCD [01:51] !ops [01:51] Help! Channel emergency!

[01:54] outbri: people spamming teh channel / breaking the rules / etc. [01:55] breaking the rules <- right answer :) [01:55] so if anyone is breaking the rules you can enter that command? so it's just to get the attention of the mods to kick the person out? [01:55] outbri: pretty much. [01:55] ok [01:55] outbri: although you may well get kicked out if you use it, and it wasn't someone breaking the rules :) [01:56] so I saw [01:57] Hobbsee: I am sure there is a rule about crying wolf :) [01:57] CarlFK: yeah ;) [01:57] (dealing in pm) [01:58] leme guess, it was an accident... [01:58] Odd... Flash just crashed in the MIDDLE of a video. [01:59] CarlFK: no, he wanted to know who the ops were in here. *eyeroll* [02:00] I think we should keep discussion in this channel ontopic... [02:01] Here's an idea for a command that'll tell who are ops: insert spaces between characters. [02:01] S o , t h i n g s w o u l d l o o k l i k e t h i s .

[02:09] Mmm, 50% CPU usage from ntfs-3g, at the moment. === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja [02:40] Hi, why can it be that, my Mobility ATI HD400(well recognized by Restricted Driver Manager) in Hardy, and perfectly recognized in "lspci" list(in Intrepid), now is not listed in Driver Manager? [02:41] lshw says something as "unclaimed", is that a kernel problem? [02:42] is very paradojic as fglrinfo, says there is Direct Rendering [02:42] please any idea about [02:43] yaser: did you file a bug report? [02:45] yaser: I presume that's a Mobility HD 4000, not 400 [02:45] ? [02:46] If so, the answer is likely to be "ATI doesn't support our Xserver yet". [02:46] Carlk, I have never made one [02:47] RAOF: your right its 4000 [02:48] And the reason why you're getting "direct rendering: yes" is because mesa's software rasteriser now supports direct rendering. [02:48] RAOF: umm, but it doesnt imply visual effects, isnt? [02:48] No. [02:49] "direct rendering: yes" has _never_ been equivalent to "you have 3d acceleration". [02:49] It's just been a reasonable rule-of-thumb. [02:49] RAOF: umm, I see, and do you think that will be fixed by release time, as it is with Hardy? [02:50] Hopefully, yes. But we're at the mercy of ATi providing a new driver. [02:50] (So you're in the same boat as the poor nvidia users with geforce4s or lower) [02:52] RAOF: isnt there something as a backport, so that new kernel can at least recognize the card, even when there is no driver then to use it properly? [02:52] yaser: No. [02:52] A backport would imply that it's working somewhere. It isn't. [02:52] There's no later version in which it's working :) [02:53] about configure files update, which letter for append both files? [02:54] RAOF: ok, you have very helpful, so your recomendation is that there is no sense in filling a bug report on this, isnt? [02:56] if i want intrepid, which build should i get? [02:56] nightly? [02:56] tribe? [02:56] arooni: I like daily [02:57] yaser: Yes. there's not much point in filing a bug. [02:58] RAOF: thanks again [02:59] arooni: alpha 6 has beenr eleased today, so probably go for that.. [03:00] so the different alpha releases have names? [03:02] outbri: Not anymore, sadly. We stopped that tradition with Hardy. [03:02] Does changing brightness and contrast work for anyone in totem? Changing their values in here does nothing :( [03:02] hey anyone tested alpha 6? [03:02] RAOF: so what are the different build names for? [03:02] outbri: What different build names? [03:03] x1250: Does your Xv adapter have working brightness and contrast knobs? IIRC, few do. [03:03] ROAF: just above, these arooni: nightly? arooni: tribe? CarlFK: arooni: I like daily [03:03] PRGUY85: im using it right now [03:04] RAOF, no idea, but brightness and contrast works with vlc, xgamma, and with the Fn + Arrows keys. I guess it should work in totem too, but it doesn't. [03:05] yaser: any noticeable changes? [03:05] yaser: Im downloading it right now to test it on virtualbox [03:06] outbri: "Tribe" was from... Gutsy. [03:09] RAOF: oh, hmm. [03:22] * mneptok watches Alpha 6 torrent to the office NFS share [03:23] * ethana2 is torrenting it also [03:26] is it safe? [03:27] For some values of 'safe', probably. [03:28] It's unlikely to accidentally format your harddrive. [03:28] i doubt any puppies will die [03:28] Right. But it's by no means guaranteed that an upgrade won't break stuff you depend on. [03:32] it is a reference to a Steve Martin movie..."is it safe?" [03:33] that sounds more like a reference to "Marathon Man" [03:33] damn you're right === SteveMartin is now known as DustinHoffman [03:34] ok better ;) [03:37] I should read up on Ibex. Last time I upgraded cuz of PulseAudio (still having porblems). I wonder what is the selling point this time around [03:40] does anyone know how to get an intel X4500 video card working in Intrepid? === jason_ is now known as DBO [03:42] it is supported in xorg 7.4 out of the box, i believe [03:42] well [03:42] it crashes dmoerner [03:43] i just get a blacklit black screen =/ [03:43] complete computer lockup [03:43] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_x4500hd&num=1 [03:43] hmm that seems to disagree with you [03:43] at least for them [03:43] file a bug i guess [03:43] there is a bug filed [03:43] its being mostly ignored [03:44] #?

[04:00] RAOF: oh yeah, the new PulseAudio fixes the CPU-devouring pausing. [04:01] I'm still getting lots of droputs, though. [04:01] hey anyone got a link for todays Ibex build [04:01] The dropouts go away if I enable hpet=force... but then I get random hard-lockups.

[04:23] erm the AMD ISO seems to think I havnt got a 64-bit system [04:23] through vitualbx [04:23] You have to define the guest as 64-bit, I'd imagine. [04:24] Do you actually have an x86-64 virtualbox environment? I didn't think virtualbox supported 64bit guests. [04:24] Take a look -- it's been updated recently. [04:24] er, upgraded. [04:24] yes they do with the 2.0 update [04:26] well supposedly, tis not supporting this is it heh [04:29] tuxxy__: I reported that bug already and it's been fixed, you need the *ubuntu2 version of virtualbox-ose [04:30] hmmm [04:31] tuxxy__: Actually, I just tested and the problem still exists.

[05:23] arooni: By successive clicks of the "Update" button.

[05:34] p43; 8600gts ideas? [05:40] Argh, now stupid Flash is crashing in the MIDDLE of videos. [05:46] is it safe to upgrade from 8.04 to intrepid alpha 6 and how? [05:46] Safe? No. How? It's on the release notes (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidIbex/TechnicalOverview) [05:47] how do i get the linux headers for daily build of ubuntu intrepid [05:47] linux-generic is installed [05:47] Install the linux-headers package? [05:48] its a virtual package that can be one of a couple packages [05:48] i'm not sure which to install [05:48] linux-headers-generic. [05:48] its already installed [05:48] Then you've got them. [05:49] nvidia wont compile the drivers because of /asm/semaphore.h no such file or directory [05:50] How are you getting the nvidia drivers? [05:50] i downloaded the package from their website [05:50] Won't work. [05:50] restricted driver doesnt work [05:50] says that it failed to init glx extension [05:51] So, you'd want to pastebin your xorg.conf and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [05:52] ok coming right up!@ [05:57] RAOF, http://pastebin.com/f6e2a87f (xorg log) and http://pastebin.com/f702646ff [05:59] Hm.

[06:02] sorry one sec [06:03] RAOF, http://pastebin.com/f5a8e90e5 [06:03] arooni: Awesome! I suggest reading that log file you posted :) [06:04] Lines 169 onward. [06:04] thats the most descriptive error message i've EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [06:04] <_Zeus_> wow [06:05] <_Zeus_> that is incredibly helpful :D [06:05] isnt that a ridiculous error message? [06:05] * arooni hugs RAOF [06:05] probably cuz i never read docs [06:06] <_Zeus_> yeah, that's insane [06:12] THATS what that damn connector was for [06:13] and now it works [06:13] wow [06:13] * arooni hugs RAOF [06:33] my flash has an issue with crashing a lot and and flickering video i know i know i see that there is a bug report on it i was just wondering if anyone could update me on how that is going? [06:36] supertones: From memory, the next step is to update to Flash 10 RC since the beta has issues [06:37] is that a suggestion for me or something ubuntu plans to do? [06:37] supertones: Flash problems are a well known issue, so I'm sure the devs are doing everything they can (as far as non-free software goes). [06:37] supertones: Something ubuntu plans to do [06:37] do you know if the 64bit is the issue? [06:37] supertones: I also know that gnash is planned to update to 0.8.4 which I'm watching with interest. [06:37] hi guys [06:38] is it possible to install a backup version of intrepid ibex without touching hardy? [06:38] supertones: 64-bit is handled by nspluginwrapper, which has a few bugs atm, but I don't think you'll see anything magically improve on 32-bit [06:38] davidw89: Yes, certainly. On a separate partition. [06:39] davidw89: you could also use something like virtualbox [06:39] davidw89: What do you mean by "backup version"? You will need to install it on a new partition, separate from Hardy [06:39] Hi there. [06:39] BUt that will over-write the GRUB [06:39] and then iam screwed ; ( [06:39] davidw89: No you're not, you can adjust it once you've finished installing. [06:39] Yeah how do you run 2 or more Distros? [06:40] got a link? [06:40] davidw89: You can always run it in a VM (like virtualbox-ose) if you really want to keep it separate. [06:40] the install should find both installations [06:40] davidw89: I don't have a link other than google.com, but adjusting menu.lst and making sure the kernels are in the right place always works for me. [06:40] yeah virtualbox sounds good [06:41] what are you're setup? [06:41] my hdd blew up so i said what the hell and installed intrepid on a spare one ;-) [06:42] who where do i download it? [06:42] cant find it on the main site [06:42] oh and freedom day tmmr [07:16] Hey I just wanted to know if 8.10 is going to be a lot better that 8.04 [07:16] than* [07:17] brandonmpace: better in what aspect? [07:17] it'll support newer hardware, so that's definitely better. [07:17] maybe looks, features [07:21] Is the artwork for 8.10 final right now? [07:33] intrepid suspend sucks, s2ram seems to work however. How can I make it use that? [08:48] !network-manager [08:48] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [08:55] for production machines that we write code on day and day out.... is intrepid alpha a BAD move? [08:55] not production servers; but workstations [08:57] is there a good reason to upgrade? [08:58] my ati card doesn't work anymore (we have to wait for ati driver, which fits the new kernel/XServer) and unfortunately the free driver doesn't work also [08:58] (for me, it seems that other people have no problem with the free driver) [08:59] so, i wouldn't upgrade === DanaG1 is now known as DanaG [09:02] alksldkjfkasld: If stability is a requirement, stick with Hardy for now, until Intrepid is released. [09:03] Hew, when is it realeaseed [09:03] oct 30? [09:03] alksldkjfkasld: yes [09:03] !schedule [09:03] A schedule of Intrepid Ibex (8.10) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule [09:04] mazzen: Intrepid contains a lot of new stuff, so a good reason to upgrade would be if you want a sneek peak or want to help with testing. If you know you are going to have graphics issues at this stage, perhaps it's best to hold off for now. [09:07] Hew: you are right. but if you have productive work stations, which have to run fine, as you do programming, i wouldn't upgrade. you? i upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 alpha6 for some reason (didn't shut down proper, ...) and everything worked fine. after the first updat was my X broken :-/. [09:08] that's the reason i updated so early to 8.10. i hope(d) that it's possible to fix that issue. but as i posted my xorg.conf and xorg.0.log in #xorg and none had an idea... [09:09] mazzen: Exactly. The standard warnings apply when installing alpha/prerelease software. If the machine in question is needed for something important, you should stick with Hardy. [09:10] mazzen: If you're comfortable with installing Intrepid just to give it a go then that's fine, as long as you are prepared for breakage and the possibility that you might have to revert back to Hardy. [09:11] i have no problems with unstable and broken things... as long as it's possible to fix them :-) [09:11] and if i can help to fix them - even better :) [09:11] mazzen: Personally, I don't have any 'critical' tasks I need to perform on my machine, so I run Intrepid and have been helping with testing since Alpha 1. In a worst-case scenario I can always use a LiveCD temporarily, or install the stable version again. [09:13] mazzen: Yep, if you enjoy running the latest version of everything and have little need for stability, then the Intrepid alphas may be for you :-) [09:13] Hew: hm... i'm afraid that's not possible at all. evolution changed the mail database, didn't? [09:13] Hew: *no* :) i need a stable OS. but it has to work :) [09:16] mazzen: Sounds like you're wanting something that doesn't exist. Hardy is probably best for you, and if you experience any bugs, seek support. [09:16] mazzen: I don't use evolution so I'm not sure. [09:20] what's this new landscape-* stuff and do i need to care about it as a normal desktop user? [09:21] during upgrade i get: landscape-client is not configured, please run landscape-config. [09:21] Hew: ? no, no. i guess we're meaning the same, but don't get us. i want that my ati card works in 8.10. and that's why i upgraded so early, so i can make reports and make testing. in general i don't want to use an unstable (testing) OS for productive use [09:21] and then it wants to start some daemon at startup [09:22] mazzen: You could run Hardy and Intrepid on two separate partitions, that way you get the best of both worlds [09:23] vega--: I'm not sure, I just removed it. [09:25] vega--: its not very interessting for desktop users/single machines, its safe to remove [09:25] is Intreped only coming with kde 4.1 not 3.5? [09:42] jockey-kde crashes on every boot in alpha6 is that right?

As of this morning I get "failed to fetch" on apt-get update because of "Hash Sum mismatch". Is there anything like this known? [10:29] Harry2o: are you behind a proxy? what mirror do you use? [10:32] no proxy here, internet works just fine. http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 , universe, multiverse, those three URLs get Hash Sum mismatch. It worked ~15h ago. Maybe sth about Alpha6? I _could_ rm files from /var/lib/apt/lists .... [10:40] hmm, removing the appropriate files from /var/lib/apt/lists helped .... but I still don't know the reason why it all started to fail [10:44] happens every now and then [10:45] hellu. [10:45] i have some strage problems with nm-applet. [10:45] it works but its invisible in the system-tray. [10:45] i can find it and click on it but its like 2x2 pixels in size.

[12:10] or doesnt get posted at all [12:11] gnomefreak: yes, as in ign [12:11] Blinkiz: please pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update [12:11] Blinkiz: most of time ign means nothing for final output [12:12] gnomefreak: A pastebin will not show much. I have three launchpad repositories. Two work and one don't [12:14] Blinkiz: it will show me enough [12:14] if 3 it should show 3 [12:15] hello! Does anybody know which Open Office version will be on 8.10 ? [12:15] 3 i think, even if it's still beta [12:15] nice [12:15] thnx [12:16] gnomefreak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/48276 [12:17] dns53: it will be released end of this month early next month but the person working on it had to leave home due to hurricane but it should get in. the PPA has it for now [12:17] gnomefreak: So what do you think my problem is?

[12:18] gnomefreak: That its not downloading from my third repository on launchpad [12:19] the above was 1 ign than look at bottom for the 3 of them again [12:19] Blinkiz: i would make sure your versionign is correct. but first check with apt-cche policy packagenamefromPPA [12:19] damn [12:19] apt-cache policy [12:20] Blinkiz: BTW comment out backport repos [12:20] gnomefreak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/48278 [12:21] b;apt-cache policy packagenameinPPA [12:21] or damnit [12:21] Blinkiz: give me pacckage name from your PPA that is not working [12:23] gnomefreak: http://img519.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pixmr6.png [12:23] Blinkiz: give me the name of a package that you have in the PPA that you think is not working [12:24] gnomefreak: https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive .

[12:28] gnomefreak: yes [12:28] Blinkiz: yep [12:28] Blinkiz: add them by hand into /etc/apt/sources.list [12:28] gnomefreak: here is sources.list: http://blinkiz.pastebin.com/d2a6b8900 [12:28] wait [12:29] :-P [12:29] is yours the only one that being hit? [12:29] you can get packages from other 2? [12:30] gnomefreak: Yes, I think so anyway. I can browse with synaptic on two repositories from launchpad. [12:30] Blinkiz: cd into /etc/apt/ [12:30] Blinkiz: than ls [12:30] do you see sources.list.d [12:31] gnomefreak: Yes, its a directory that is empty [12:31] Blinkiz: removeit [12:31] remove it [12:31] or rename [12:32] than save and run update command [12:33] gnomefreak: Well, no change [12:33]
