frank23is there a GUI way of mounting file systems in kubuntu intrepid?00:19
Kanowell i could mount it with clicking on the icons on the left side of the filemanager00:20
bsniderthat will be read-only00:21
bsnideryou need a new entry in fstab if you want it permanently mounted with read/write permissions00:22
frank23Kano: bsnider: when I click those icons (like Volume (ext3) ) nothing happens00:22
Kanowell it mounted ext3 here, but did not test write00:22
frank23bsnider: yeah but in KDE 3 i used to be able to modify fstab in system settings00:22
Kanousually ext3 must be set to allow others to write or you have to change the default user00:23
bsniderif you say so. i don't know why people use kde00:23
bsniderbut live and let live i guess00:23
frank23kde4 is not feature complete lets say... I still run gutsy. I'm just trying out intrepid00:23
joebob777as7anyone else having issues with firefox crashing?00:23
joebob777as7I can't browse for more than 5 minutes without browser crashing. seems to be on sites with lots of flash content00:24
bsniderjoebob777as7, known issue00:25
bsniderfrank23, you still run that old kernel?00:26
joebob777as7bsnider, that's good. any ideas on when a fix is coming?00:26
frank23bsnider: you mean from gutsy? yeah. what changed in the kernel since then?00:27
bsniderjoebob777as7, ask mozilla when they'll implement windowless mode support00:28
bsniderjoebob777as7, actually it's coming in ff 3.100:28
bsniderfrank23, the linux kernel is the fastest moving software ever created. everything has changed several times over00:28

=== pretto_ is now known as Pretto
joebob777as7bsnider, do you know if by going back to FF 2 will fix crashing? or if there is a work around for now?00:52
bsniderjoebob777as7, the crash is caused by flash 10's windowless mode00:53
bsniderff doesn't support it no matter what generation you go back to00:53
bsnideryou can use another browser  like epiphany00:53
joebob777as7bsnider, what about going to flash 9?00:53
bsniderjoebob777as7, flash 9 isn't available in intrepid00:54
DanaGHow about just disabling windowless mode?00:58
bsniderDanaG, i'm all for it01:03
bsniderlet's do it01:03
DanaGI did that on my system.  It means I get back that stupid flash-over-content issue... but that's better than a crash.01:03

JediMasterhey guys, after doing a pretty big upgrade (380 packages after about 5 days of not doing an update!) the kernel was upgraded and the nvidia driver stopped working, so I've had to reboot into the last kernel01:30
JediMasterwhat's the name of the command that rebuilds the kernel modules for a new version?01:31
joebob777as7JediMaster, welcome to the club. :) has happened several times to me since alpha 301:31
JediMasterjoebob777as7: heh, I fixed it last time, as it's not the first time for me either, but I can't remember the damn command to rebuild the module lol01:31
JediMasterahh, dkms IIRC01:32
bsniderJediMaster, reinstall nvidia-177-kernel-source01:32
bsniderare uh...you  REALLY a jedi master?01:32
JediMasterbsnider: what do you think?01:33
bsnidercause i'm a sith lord in need of a new hapless apprentice01:33
JediMastershame, already a master01:34
bsniderso was dooku01:35

rickyOKi was successful gettting the alph on my compaq  laptop.....but i am wondering, when the official release comes out, will the updates get me there.....?01:54
frank23bsnider: the main reason i never upgraded to hardy was a stupid little display bug in mythtv when running in KDE. that's been fixed too it seems01:54
rickyOKjust wanted to make sure i would not have to download the whole release again.01:54
jrib!final | rickyOK01:55
ubotturickyOK: If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Intrepid. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console.01:55
bsniderrickyOK, of course the updates will be there01:55
jribrickyOK: you know you can be in more than one channel right? :)01:55
rickyOKi was happy that the latest alpha is oprating my atheros ar5418 chipset ok.....01:55
bsniderrickyOK, i think you'll find it isn't01:56
bsnideratheros stuff isn't supported by network-manager yet. it is a bug that will be fixed in the beta release01:56
rickyOKso i was understanding it right, then? just keep updating as they come out, and i will end up with the same version as the official realease. yea?01:56
jribrickyOK: yeah01:57
rickyOKthe screen still shows the stork, i figured they would change some of those things as we go!01:57
bsniderif there's a new theme it will01:57
rickyOKjrib: yes, i know......about  more than one channel....thanks...01:58
rickyOKmy atheros chipset in the belkin n express card is working right now.....and connecting, that is how i am on the irc channel.01:59
rickyOKi think the official release is for next month, right? six months after the 8.04, release; every six months....that is so good.02:00

danbh_intrepidthats my favorite bug!!02:01
bsniderit's now owned by a kernel guy, not alexander02:01
bsniderwhich is strange because i thought it was a network-manager problem, not a kernel problem02:02
rickyOKmine says it is using the "ath9" and is operating in the network manager OK. it tells me networks are available and i click on them and i am connected.....02:02
danbh_intrepidbsnider: well, they were clear, its both02:02
bsniderrickyOK, you'll have problems with it as time goes by02:02
rickyOKi am checking out the link you sent....thanks....i only use this at open hot spots.....02:02
danbh_intrepidbsnider: the drivers are buggy, and network manager worked around the bugs?  Thats why I say its both02:02
bsniderath5k and ath9k are both considered unstable, but i think it's a network-manager issue from what alexander wrote02:03
Alex_GaynorIs there currently a known issue where flash has no sound in Ubuntu(all packages up to date on intrepid)?02:03
bsniderAlex_Gaynor, if you're not having some kind of flash issues right now not all your dogs are barking02:04
Alex_GaynorHehe, was it caused by one of the very recent ff updates(within the last day or so)?02:05
rickyOKi looked at that link, and mine was kind of buggy at first....but now after doing all my updates, i have not had a problem.....anyway, i am hoping they will continue to work on that driver, at least for the faster speeds of the "n" wireless...02:05
rickyOKi am not too techy, but i like learning things.....it challenges my patience.02:05
bsniderrickyOK, atheros hired a dev to work on the driver you're now using full time02:05
rickyOKyea, i did a little reading the other night on the net....it connects but the "ON" light does not light up, but that isn't that important.02:06
rickyOKis it true that you can use the windows driver with ndiswrapper, and make it work?02:06
rickyOKi have kind of set my heart on Ubuntu, because it is actively being worked on and i like that......02:08
bsniderndiswrapper is slow and buggy02:08
rickyOKi read an article about microsoft telling the pc makers NOT to sell a computer without an operating system...02:09
bsnideryeah, i wonder why...02:09
bsniderthey don't want people looking around for something free02:09
rickyOKthe likely hood is that if you want to put linux on the machine, you will have already given microsoft your money....02:10
bsniderright, the microsoft tax02:10
bsniderjust build your own equipment02:10
rickyOKi think that is sort of the same thing as microsoft, with netscape: ship it with the OS, and the people will use that...02:10
bsnideror buy a linux laptop from dell02:10
Alex_GaynorMeh, just build your own :)02:11
BHSPitMonkeyI don't order pre-made desktops, and my laptop came with linux.02:11
BHSPitMonkeyNo MS tax here.02:11
Alex_GaynorI don't order pre-made laptops :)02:11
rickyOKi have checked in to that: laptops pre-loaded with linux......02:11
Alex_GaynorWhere would the right place to follow flash bugs be?02:11
BHSPitMonkeyYou can order Thinkpads with SLED, or no os02:12
rickyOKi am hoping for something like that in the future....or get someone local to build your computer, then put on it what you want....02:12
bsnideryou can order dell laptops with ubuntu02:12
rickyOKyeah02:12
Alex_GaynorRkc computers(google for it), sells laptops with no OS, I got a barebones from them, built my own and installed intrepid :)02:12
rickyOKfor now i am stuck with the compaq V6310US.....02:13
rickyOKthe broadcom wireless went out at about 14 months, so i bought an express card....to use that.02:13
rickyOKthe OS does not even see the broadcom wireless anymore; it is like it does not exist...02:14
neil_dI was wondering if there was going to be a 8.04.2 release ?02:14
rickyOKhey, thanks for the help....gotta go for now....bye02:19
RezagratsSo im guessing using the alpha of Intrepid isn't too smart02:55
Rezagrats?/02:55
outbriRezagrats: smart?02:55
RezagratsLike if im using it for school work and stuff.02:56
outbriRezagrats: I've got everything working - now. The nvidia driver didn't work, I had to use 173 instead of 177.02:56
outbriBut other than that, I haven't had any problems.02:56
outbriYMMV, of course.02:56
RezagratsIve heard some people say that their stuff gets broken, like actual hardware breaking.02:57
outbriI've gone through the last two alphas and none of that has happened.02:57
RezagratsWell im just asking cause i don't have the money to be replacing my hardware.02:58
outbriOh, one other thing that happened on the lastest upgrade: all my pidgin data is gone. Not that big of a deal, but not sure why it deleted it. So if you upgrade I'd backup everything.02:58
outbriIf you don't want to mess around with stuff here and there, I'd recommend waiting until it comes out in October.02:58
RezagratsI don't upgrade, fresh install always (data is backed up in a partition on the same harddrive thouhg)02:59
outbriI probably won't be doing much beta testing after this: it was too much trouble on the rest of the alphas to get my dual screens configured, various programs stuff, and all the users settings I had to redo. I'm not smart enough to be able to fix everything, though I have so far. I doubt it'll break any physical hardware.03:00

danbh_intrepidDanaG: great!!!03:06
danbh_intrepidDanaG: hehe, I know you are mad, but at least its a step forward.  If you dont restart firefox, it can break.  I was talking with someone that felt that ff should be forcibly killed after an update.03:07
DanaGHmm, but the present behavior is obnoxious.03:08
JontheEchidnaI had just the opposite experience03:08

danbh_intrepidDanaG: what would you like to have happen?  For me, I just get a little notifier in the upper right, suggesting I restart03:08
DanaGHmm, it should show the info bar, and keep it there.  Not spam with it.03:09
DanaGAnd it should say, "must be restarted, or Firefox may begin to behave strangely."03:10

ronny(also the sessings for no effects/some effects/all effects dont work any more)10:39
RAOFronny: So, there actually aren't any "XGL effects" - XGL is just an X server.10:39

ronnyah, sorry for misswording10:39
RAOFNo, that's ok. :)10:39
ronnywell, my windows got things like shadows10:39

ROnewbiehi all13:41
ROnewbiei have a question - how do i go back to gutsy? i know it may sound weird to ask this question on the intrepid channel, but i'm very unhappy with both hardy and intrepid13:42
ROnewbiei've been with ubuntu since Edgy13:42
=== freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t]
HobbseeROnewbie: get a gutsy disk.  install it.13:42
HobbseeROnewbie: there's no real other way.13:42
ROnewbiehmm... thought so. What about my /home directory13:43
ROnewbie?13:43
ROnewbiedo I just copy/paste it into the fresh install ?13:43
ROnewbie(i.e. - backup and copy)13:44
IdleOne!home13:44
ubottuYour home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome13:44
jribROnewbie: well in general that should work.  However some programs may have changed their configs and older programs will get confused.  The safe way to do it in my opinion would be to just copy back your data and reconfig your programs13:45
ROnewbiejrib: thanks a lot. that helps.13:45
ROnewbieon another note, does anyone here know if the stability problems with heron will being fixed anytime soon?13:46
ROnewbie*will be13:46
joaopintoROnewbie, have you reported any ?13:47
ROnewbieplenty13:47
joaopintoThe major stability problems were fixed around .113:47
jribROnewbie: what were some of the big issues out of curiousity?13:48
edgyHi, how can I enable PAE support in intrepid?13:48
* Hobbsee guesses: compiz-based.13:48
ROnewbiemy vlc won't work at the same time with youtube in ff, major freezing happening at random times, usb mouse would be of no use, ...13:48
ROnewbieand many others.13:48
jribflash, yay13:49
IdleOnemice tend to run and hide when not tied up13:49
ROnewbiefunny thing is that gutsy worked out footb13:50
ROnewbieany suggestions?13:52
Hobbseeyeah.    metacity --replace &13:52
Hobbseewon't help the usb mouse, but may well help the other two13:53
jribsound?13:53
jribwell at least I assume it was sound in vlc that wasn't working at the same time as youtube13:54
ROnewbieHobbsee: :-D ... mind the "newbie" part, please ... metacity -- replace ... =?13:54
ROnewbiejrib: yes, it's the sound i'm talking about. sorry, my mistake13:54
HobbseeROnewbie: type it into a terminal.13:55
Hobbseethe whole thing.13:55
jribwith no space between "--" and "replace": metacity --replace &13:55
ROnewbiegot it13:55
ROnewbiedid it13:55
ROnewbiei saw my desktop for a sec, then back to normal.13:56
ROnewbieso what did i just do? :-)13:56
HobbseeROnewbie: it turned off compiz, which is shiny bling.13:58
ROnewbiedamn. everything froze14:01
ROnewbieor nearly everything14:01
ROnewbielogged out and back in14:01
ROnewbiehmm ... maybe installing intrepid while alpha was not such a good idea.14:01
ROnewbieone more question - i used hardy, and updated it daily, until about 3 weeks ago. was .1 out by then? because if it was, i didn't notice any major differences.14:03
ROnewbiesame old problems14:03
Hobbseeit was out14:04
ROnewbiehmmyeah14:04
ROnewbiewell then, i'm off to reinstalling gutsy, no other choice.14:04
ROnewbiebut for some reason i cannot see (in addition to my usb mouse) the external harddrive i plugged in14:05
ROnewbiei need that to back stuff up14:05
ROnewbieany suggestions, anyone?14:05
ROnewbie1yep, had to cold boot it a couple of times before it saw my external harddrive14:16
ROnewbie1so i think i'll reinstall gutsy anew14:16
ROnewbie1thank you for the help.14:16

Rioting_pacifistwhen i use sudo in intrepid i get "sudo: unable to resolve host Juan-Hardy"15:09
Rioting_pacifisti think its because i installed from debootstrap15:09
igormorgadoRioting_pacifist: check your /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname15:15
bsnideranybody still got gmail-notify installed?15:15
igormorgadoRioting_pacifist: I want 50% of your profit in that HOWTO =D15:15
Rioting_pacifisthmm got responsese in 2 channels, normally get zero :D ubuntu IRC likes me again15:18
bsnidercan someone please try installing gmail-notify?15:19
igormorgadobsnider: why I should do that?15:19
Rioting_pacifisterm /etc/hostname had 127.0.0.1 Juan-Intrepid and hosts had 127.0.0.1 localhost15:19
igormorgadohostname wrong15:19
igormorgado/etc/hostname should be Juan-Intrepid15:20
igormorgadoand hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost juan-intrepid15:20
bsniderigormorgado, to help me confirm a bug15:20
igormorgadobsnider: check in bug reports if there is anything like your problem, if dont, double-check your procedures, if its all ok but youre having really a problem, fill the bug report, assure to add every possible informations15:21
Rioting_pacifistthx15:21
bsnideryeah, thanks for the infomration. i had no idea i could do that15:21
Rioting_pacifistbsnider i cant install it im getting broken dependancies15:22
bsniderRioting_pacifist, can you do a search in synaptic for "ligdl" please?15:22
bsniderthe one with gnome in the name should have a completely different version number than the others15:23
Rioting_pacifistnah its 1-0 like the rest but it comes libgdl-gnome-1-0 instead of libgdl-1-gnome15:25
bsniderno, that's not what i'm referring to15:25
bsnideryou're looking at the name of the packages, not the version15:25
bsniderlook at the version column15:25
Rioting_pacifistyeah common is 2.24.0 but gnome is 0.7.1115:27
bsnideri think the problem is they didn't properly rebuild the gnome package with the rest15:29
igormorgadobsnider: is expected packages broken while in alpha stage, if you know know what that means, do not use alpha quality software15:32
igormorgadobsnider: there is to many packages and everyone is packaging and updating, things will broke before the freeze15:32
bsniderok, so i won't report a bug then, since packages should be broken15:34
igormorgadoyes. that kind of thing is REALLY expected. maybe it will be fixed soon. (1 week ) =D15:34
igormorgadobsnider: read the topic15:34
Hobbseehmm.15:36
lamalexDid gnome-terminal remove  the keybinding configuration?15:37

anmarHello guys. I am trying to test today's build but when I boot off the disk, my screen is on but black. I tried switching to alternate terminals but nothing happens16:05
nblracerhello16:12
anmarnblracer: hello16:12
nblracerneeds some, plus i found one bug16:13
nblracerhelp16:13
nblracersorry for my bad english16:13
anmarnblracer: now worries. what is your problem. I can't promise I can help.16:14
ruschiHi - although not stable I upgraded to 8.10. Some odd behaviour in X exists:16:14
ruschisomehow I always have us keyboard mapping at start - I have to change it with setxkbmap although xorg.conf clearly states a german layout16:14
nblracerwell for the bug, the power status on my laptop does not update16:15
nblracerit offten works if i go from battery to power, and vice-versa16:15
anmarnblracer: I am not sure how upgrading to Intrepid will be different than installing it from scrathc.16:16
nblracerbut if i remove the battery and go strictly to AC power, it does not recognize the change16:16
anmarnblracer: I would install alpha 6 on an empty parition and see if the issue still occurs16:16
anmarnblracer: as for the battery, did you check launchpad for a similar bug?16:17
nblracerhow did you know i upgraded?16:17
anmarnblracer: oh.. sorry.. I thought you said you did :)16:18
anmarnblracer: my bad. I mixed a couple of chats together :)16:19
anmarrushi: did you try the issue on a fresh install of intrepid?16:19
ruschino - I only got one system and upgraded using apt16:20
anmarargh... I am more butter fingers today.16:20
nblraceranmar:  not to sound like a complete idiot, how do i search for the bug, search for acpi?16:22
nblraceror gnome power manger?16:22
anmarnblracer: no worries dude.  you need to start at www.launchpad.net16:22
ruschianmar:  in /var/log/Xorg.0.log I find in near end: Option "xkb_layout" "us"16:22
anmarnblracer: I recommend that you register so you can comment and create new bugs if you needed to16:23
anmarruschi: I am sorry but I am no expert on keyboard layouts. One simeple thing comes to mind is to use the GNOME keyboard preference to see if that takes effect?16:24
ruschiI will check16:24
ruschibe back later16:24
nblraceranmar: already registered16:25
anmarnblracer: great :)16:25
regelIs Intrepid somewhat stable now?16:31
regelI'd finally have some time to upgrade my system to 8.1016:31
anmarregel: hehe... that is a hard question to answer.16:31
anmarregel: try the live CD and see if it works for you.16:31
regel:) the live CDs have never worked for me.. :D16:32
nblraceri think the bug is with both acpi and gnome power manger,  when i remove battiery, and re insert it, the status icon in gnome never changes or update16:32
anmarregel: then install alpha 6 on an emptry parition.16:32
nblracerkind of locks it up16:32
anmarnblracer: did you update your system to the latest in Intrepid ?16:33
regelanmar: nah, i have a laptop and a pc, i dont really need 2 stable systems16:33
nblraceracpi dose not correctly regster the difference between battery and no battery16:33
regelshould i download daily or alpha?16:33
anmarregel: sweet.. then get Alpha6 and plug away... GNOME 2.24 is quite nice I must say16:34
anmarnblracer: you can look into the ACPI docs and see... as far as I can remember, you can find a lot of what you kernel is seeing by checking the /proc on your file system16:34
regel:) already looking for an image16:34
anmarregel: cdimage.ubuntu.com16:35
regelyea, but it's incredibly slow atm16:35
regelis there a mirror for cdimage.ubuntu.com?16:36
anmarregel: hmm.. not sure...16:36
anmarregel: if you google for Alpha6 you can find torrents of it available16:37
nblraceranmar, should be updated, i use synaptic package manger often16:37
regelguess that's the best way to go, thanks16:37
anmarnblracer: then in that case, I would file a bug16:38
regeloh, yes, found a mirror in finland :)16:38
anmarregel: great... torrent is the faster instead of downloading from a single source16:38
regelnot with my connection, it aint16:39
regeluh, i should have done this while at university a few hours ago :S16:39
regel2:30 h till ready16:40
anmarregel: that isn't bad ... time for a walk I guess ;-)16:41
regel:) guess so16:42
nblraceranmar: i'm browsing though /proc/apci, and all those files seem emptey when i open them with gedit16:45
anmarnblracer: hmm.. let me see. one sec16:45
anmarnblracer: hmm... then the kernel is not detecting any battery.16:48
=== kunim__ is now known as kunim
anmarnblracer: did you check dmesg and see what the kernel shows about ACPI?16:49
nblracerthe kernel see it i think since apci -V works, just wrong if there is no battery present16:50
anmarnblracer: did you google for people using the same laptop you are using. that might help shed the light16:51
nblracergood idea, will do that next. Thanks, what should i look for in dmesg?16:51
anmarnblracer: browse through it and see any messages pertaining to ACPI. Usually they are in the first 200 lines16:53
nblracerhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=78380 this is very close to what i have! it dated 2005!16:56
nblracerso it may be a specific problem related to my hardware then, and not a bug with the kernel16:57
anmarnblracer: did you install another OS on it like windows?16:58
anmarnblracer: if so, did the battery work?16:58
anmarnblracer: if it did, then you hardware is ok. it could be a buggy bios, which is usually the problem with ACPI stuff.16:59
nblraceryes i'm dual boot16:59
nblracerso is this something i should report in lunchpad17:01

Naborbesides that I had to deaktivate (remove the entry from /etc/network/interfaces) wpa_supplicant20:43
DanaGHandy hint: right-click nm-applet, go to Edit Connections, and make your network into a "System Setting"20:43
TeLLuSNabor: I don't have to since I downgraded it.. work fine. Also tried PEAP at work.. worked fine.20:44
NaborTeLLuS: what did you downgrade20:45
Nabor?20:45
NaborI have to Network Connection things in my System tray20:45
Naborone is the nm-applet20:46
cliechtii upgraded from hardy on a eeepc. but wireless is not working. i have ath5k loaded, but no wireless network card is shown by ifconfig and iwconfig. previously it was working with madwifi but i'd like to use the new driver from the kernel now20:46
Naborand the other one did not tell me, what it is20:46
cliechtiis there something i need to clean up to get that one working?20:46
TeLLuSNabor: Everything with network-manager..20:46
cliechtiyeah the network manager diapeared here too. i had to manually install a package20:47
cliechtithe network applet was split into an other packet that was not in the dependencies20:47
NaborDanaG: what is "System Setting" what does this mean? So what will the nm-applet do than?20:47
Lofde_hi i really need some help :(20:47
Lofde_I was in the process of upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 and when i was doing the upgrade there were several packages i guess that they didnt completely install20:48
Lofde_and im even worse off than i was20:48
Lofde_there is still hope (i hope) because i can log in to enlightment (gnome wont load), somehow many of gnomes packages got uninstalled and i cannot reinstall it20:49
cliechtiLofde_: i aborted one upgrade too, i had to run sudo dpkg --configure -a20:49
Lofde_cliechti,  i ran that several times and things kept failing20:50
NaborBesides that, I like my wpa_supplicant much more than everything that runs, wenn Gnome is running. I remember, one or to years ago, there was an update that damages the XOrg... Gnome didn't start... I was happy, because of wpa_supplicant I had my WLAN also at command line ;)20:50
cliechtiLofde_: apt-get install --fix-missing (or similar) is also helping sometimes20:50
Lofde_like a whole huge list.. several times and then i restarted because it recommened20:50
Lofde_ahh ok20:50
Lofde_let me see if i can run that20:50
Lofde_because im trying to get gnome back and its saying Depends: system-config-printer (>=1.0.0) but it is not installable20:50
Lofde_ Depends: serpentine but it is not going to be installed and i think its because those files arent on the repos20:50
Turlany way to fix firefox???20:50
NaborTurl: Firefox runs fine... what fix do you need?20:51
cliechtiLofde_: also run apt-get update to get the latest list and if its an upgrade, did you change all the repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list?20:51
NaborAnybody how has sound problems?20:52
Turlit's broken... xulrunner-1.9 won't update ok20:52
Lofde_cliechti,  i havent change the repositories at all20:52
NaborI have on my T61p :(20:52
Naborhmm... I don't have this problem Turl... I use Firefox 3.x20:53
cliechtiLofde_: if your upgrading to 8.10 (that is #ubuntu+1 :-) you need to have only intrepid* lines there. if you used update-manager that should have been converted automatically, but maybe check that once20:53
Lofde_alright let me check really fast20:54
cliechtitake your time :-) don't do it too fast, rather precisely ;-)20:54
mvofor upgrrade to intrepid just run "update-manager -d"20:54
cliechtiyep20:54
Lofde_all the lines were changes to intrepid20:55
cliechtiand see your wireless network not working anymore :/20:55
Naborcliechti: ;) it's working...20:55
cliechtiLofde_: hm, then i don't know. i upated my intrepid eeepc a hour ago and all installed fine20:55
cliechtiNabor: not here on my eeepc..20:56
Lofde_see something happened, and like update mananger -d -c it kept having problems with several packages or something, something with Mono-apache2 was holding something up and those never finished and then somehow i uninstalled all those packages using apt-get remove to remove 1 bad one (i was going to do 1 at a time, and it somehow removed 45 packages heh)20:56
Nabordoes the eeepc have also wired networking?20:56
cliechtiNabor: yes, that one is fine20:56
cliechtii need it to upgrade :-)20:57
Naborso you are lucky ;) my wired one is not working20:58
Lofde_is there a way i can tell apt-get install to install Gnome, and to take as many dependancies as it can find and ignore the 2 that it cant find on the intrepid repo?20:58
cliechtiNabor: on an eeepc?20:58
NaborAnd sound is also not working20:58
Naborno, on a T61p20:58
cliechtiLofde_: there is some --force or similar option i think20:59
NaborAnd I am not shure if I like the new Human theme20:59
cliechtihm. i have not seen a difference yet20:59
NaborOne Question, I read about emphathy replacing Pidgin...21:00
Naborwhen will this haben?21:00
Lofde_cliechti,  --ignore-missing ?21:00
NaborAnd will my settings by automaticaly migrated?21:00
nblracertest21:00
cliechtiLofde_: ah, yes, that one sounds reasonable21:00
Nabornblracer: test was fine :)21:00
cliechtiLofde_: but i dont know how easy it will be to install the missing ones later.. :/21:01
cliechtiso no one with eeepc and ath5k (wifi) driver that can help out? mine is not working :(21:03
NaborI'll leave for today, in Germany it's 22:03... Have a nice evening...21:03
Lofde_is there some way to sort of "restart" the install process to 8.10 to make ubuntu check to see that it DID indeed download everything it should have21:05
cliechtisomething like running apt-get install XXX --reinstall for each packet? -- i dont know :-)21:06
Lofde_wonder if i could just download gnome and compile it myself :(21:07
cliechtiapt-get source :-)21:07
cliechtiwell i would not. i'd rather wait and see if the packages are fixed a day later. maybe you are downloading from different mirrors that not all are updates synchronously21:09
nblraceris there a better power management tool for ubuntu gnome  like KPowersave, that can control cpu steping, brightness, hard drive rpm21:09
Lofde_it seems like the only two packages it says it needs are not shure if I like the new Human theme21:10
Lofde_<cliechti> hm. i have not seen a difference yet21:10
Lofde_ops21:10
Lofde_system-config-printer and serpentine21:10
cliechtiand they are not put on "hold"? and did you try apt-get dist-upgrade?  just upgrade is sometimes not enough21:11
Lofde_ill see i saw that juse now on a fourm i was trying 1 sec21:13

DanaGWhy does everyone call it an "Eeepc" (pronounced "eepk")?  It's "Eee PC" -- the name is Eee.21:19
DanaGNot eepk.21:19
SwedeMikethey do? Everybody I know calls it eee-pee-cee21:21
cliechtiDanaG: sorry ;-) but eeepc is the word you can actually find something with search engines.21:22
DanaGWell, I meant that I'd pronounce "eeepc" as "eepk".  Others probably do pronounce it as two words smacked together.21:23

Lofde_low :( ?21:30
Lofde_i need to install gnome.. ;/ what can i do?21:30
Lofde_i guess ill just say forget it and go with KDE until maybe this thing comes outta alpha.. or maybe use enlightment i mean its not bad all the programs are still here its just a change ;/21:35
cliechtior use ION3 ;-)21:36
dystopiaTeLLuS: you know what is odd? now it doesn't work any more, even not with QtNX.. LoL :D21:39
cliechtiheh, wireless is working now. blacklisting ath_pci is required as it also a driver for the same PCI ID21:40
dystopiaseems like i cant play mp3..21:41
cliechtican you play the ogg file in the examples folder?21:42
dystopianope it totally hangs21:43
Lofde_its taking a while to download the 150 mb of KDE21:43
Lofde_heh21:43
cliechtii'd rather use xfce instead of kde ;-)21:44
=== fReAkY[t] is now known as freaky[t]
Lofde_id rather use gnone :(21:44
cliechtidystopia: so its a soundcard/driver problem maybe, and not a missing codec problem21:45
ActionParsniphey all21:45
ActionParsnipqq21:45
ActionParsnipif i install the alpha intrepid21:45
dystopiapulseaudio isnt running either21:45
Lofde_for some reason since the switch now i cannot play an mp4 (aac) using audacious it says unable to connect to server some 8000 port ;(21:45
cliechtiLofde_: well, if its only these two packages, i'd the the ignore missing option21:45
ActionParsnipwhen its released will my packaged apps upgrade to release grade?21:45
Lofde_i tried to install using "sudo apt-get install --ignore-missing gnome" and every combination didnt work, i dont have a good example of the syntax to go off of :(21:46
cliechtiActionParsnip: yes. but until then you might face problems that are not easily solvabe21:46
ActionParsnipcliechti: as long as it browses the web and plays mp3s i'm reet21:46
dystopiawhen i closed firefox it worked :-)21:47
cliechtiActionParsnip: if you want to get help from #ubuntu, stick with hardy, and upgrade in one month.21:47
dystopiasay, has anyone used projectM (Milkdrop for UNIX)?21:47
dystopiai never see the plugin in totem21:48
cliechtidystopia: are you using different auto drivers in the applications? try to set up pulse audio output for all21:48
cliechtis/auto/audio21:48
ActionParsnipcliechti: my use is limited so should be ok, im waiting the month as my install is ok except frets on fire is weird21:48
dystopiathanks for the suggestion everything is now set at pulseaudio21:49
cliechtiActionParsnip: you get the very same firefox on hardy and intrepid right now. so for surfing the web you dont have a real advantage. but for hardy you'll get security upgrades in time21:50
ActionParsnipim fairly security concouos22:00
yao_ziyuani'm in kubuntu intrepid alpha 6. there is NetworkManager running. i wonder if it is necessary?22:01

iddoshould i try to reinstall pulseaudio or alsa?22:46
iddoif i try apt-get remove on them then it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop22:46
cliechtiyou can reinstall without removing. but thats usually only good if oyu lost or destroyed files22:47
iddoi didnt do anything other than apt-get upgrade22:48
iddohow to reinstall without removing?22:48
cliechtiapt-get install <package-name> --reinstall22:49

iddoo22:52
Lofde_ cliechti  the cds?22:52
Lofde_i upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 through the internet22:52
cliechtiLofde_: did you install from a live cd? then you already have either gnome, kde or xfce22:52
Lofde_is there an ISO i can download somewhere if 8.10 to try to do like a repair install over my current installation lol22:52
iddotrying to install audacity now to test it..22:53
Lofde_i did at one point install from a live cd.. 8.04 and i did have gnome until i updated to 8.1022:53
cliechtiLofde_: yes, there are alpha versions of 8.10 available22:53
Lofde_somehow remember through the upgrade the gnome wouldnt load22:53
Lofde_do you have a link to the iso ?22:53
cliechtiLofde_: no, sorry, i used the upgrade method too.. and here it worked to upgrade gnome to 2.2422:54
Lofde_yea i had something happen that canceled the install..22:55
Lofde_so then i had to continue using a "dpkg  -configure -u " or something to that22:55
Lofde_KDE is weird.. like there are no minimize, close, maximize buttons at all for some weird reason..22:55
cliechtiLofde_: hm. did you remove something so that you cant install it again? if it was installed before and refuses to upgrade, it should simply stay at the old version..23:00
JontheEchidnaLofde_: that's not normal23:01

ubottuLaunchpad bug 273015 in meta-gnome2 "cannot install gnome package" [Low,Confirmed]23:07
iddoi actually lost sound completely...  all sound apps dont play any sound23:08
Lofde_somehow i had gnome on 8.04, during the upgrade to 8.10 some packages didnt download, i think the internet got D/ced(wireless) when i reconnected i restarted the upgrade but it was sorta of messed up already, it kept downloading all the packages and then during the install of packages it had issues, i kept pushing it through the install and eventually it restarted into enlightenment, then i tried to push it to install gnome a23:08
Lofde_nd was getting that error, its been an uphill battle :) but a fun learning experience23:08
iddoi think it's because i only see correct controls with alsamixer -c 023:09
iddois there a way to make it behave like before the update? i only typed alsamixer and it showed all correct volume controls23:09
iddoor some other way to fix it to make sound work again..?23:10
Lofde_i wonder if i might just skip intrepid and jump stright to 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope with all this crap im going through :))23:12
cliechtiLofde_: well, you are playing around with APLHA software. try it again in a month and it will be much better. and then if you cant repair it, reinstall from scratch from one of the CDs23:14
Lofde_well i have no real way of going back now :) i mean im not too upset using KDE..23:14
Lofde_i think if somehow the dependancy bug was fixed23:14
Lofde_that i showed on that website23:14
iddothe gnome sound prefs test fails when i try to set it as alsa.. cannot access device.. other options like pulse just dont play anything23:14
Lofde_i would be able to install gnome, i would be back in business23:14

cliechti-Werror is a gcc switch that makes warnings to errors for example23:30
