| ethana2 | .....decaf | 00:04 |
| ethana2 | oh, that's right, i should try out java on 8.10 | 00:04 |
| * ethana2 tests | 00:04 | |
| blackvd | can someone please point me to a guide that actually works to fix pulseaudio in Ibex. Mine was working for a while till the update about two hours ago? | 00:05 |
| blackvd | now i cant get sound to play at all | 00:06 |
| * ethana2 is reminded that 8.10 isn't out yet | 00:06 | |
| DanaG | Odd, nouveau is still eating lots of CPU time. | 00:09 |
| DanaG | And gnome login somehow becomes massively disk-bound. | 00:09 |
| ethana2 | What is the recommended way to get a working java firefox plugin on 8.10? | 00:10 |
| ethana2 | I think it asked me about it once, and i ignored it that time | 00:10 |
| wgrant | ethana2: Find a Java site. Click install. | 00:10 |
| ethana2 | ..eww, no | 00:10 |
| ethana2 | only stuff in repos | 00:11 |
| coppro | there are sun java packages | 00:11 |
| wgrant | I speak of the repo stuff. | 00:11 |
| ethana2 | i don't want them if i can help it | 00:11 |
| filo1234 | ethana2: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin | 00:11 |
| ethana2 | thank you | 00:11 |
| ethana2 | well actually | 00:11 |
| coppro | sun-java6-plugin | 00:11 |
| wgrant | Er. | 00:11 |
| ethana2 | meh | 00:11 |
| coppro | yeah, filo1234 got it | 00:11 |
| * ethana2 installes | 00:11 | |
| wgrant | Why not use the OpenJDK one? | 00:11 |
| ethana2 | wgrant: okay, how do i do that? | 00:11 |
| coppro | because a) sun's is almost entirely free anyways and b) sun's works better | 00:11 |
| wgrant | It's even in main. | 00:12 |
| wgrant | icedtea6-plugin | 00:12 |
| wgrant | Ubufox should tell you to install it when you go to a Java-using website. | 00:12 |
| wgrant | And Sun's rarely works better now. | 00:12 |
| ethana2 | wgrant, it did i ignored it | 00:12 |
| ethana2 | it didn't say it would never let me use that dialog again | 00:12 |
| wgrant | It should ask you each time.. | 00:13 |
| * ethana2 install icedtea6-plugin | 00:13 | |
| ethana2 | it should | 00:13 |
| ethana2 | ...odd that it doesn't | 00:13 |
| filo1234 | ethana2: dpkg -l | grep iced | 00:13 |
| ethana2 | Suggested packages: | 00:13 |
| ethana2 | equivs sun-java6-fonts | 00:13 |
| ethana2 | AHA | 00:13 |
| ethana2 | THAT is why java never works right for me! | 00:14 |
| ethana2 | Those are 'suggested' | 00:14 |
| ethana2 | *facepalm* | 00:14 |
| ethana2 | yeah, those are dependencies. | 00:14 |
| ethana2 | if you want things to not not-work, you need those | 00:14 |
| filo1234 | ethana2: ?? so you have icedtea or sun-java-plugin?? | 00:15 |
| ethana2 | i'm installing icedtea now | 00:15 |
| filo1234 | ethana2: se it as default so | 00:15 |
| ethana2 | there's nothing else installed, so.. | 00:15 |
| filo1234 | ethana2: sudo dpkg -l | grep java | 00:16 |
| acuster | hey all, is there a way to put a machine into 'sleep' mode from the command line? | 00:16 |
| coppro | filo1234: apt-cache search much? | 00:16 |
| coppro | acuster: sudo suspend | 00:16 |
| ethana2 | fileo1234: it's not done installing yet | 00:16 |
| acuster | thanks | 00:16 |
| filo1234 | ethana2: sudo update-alternatives --config java | 00:17 |
| filo1234 | and set what you want as default | 00:17 |
| ethana2 | i'll get to that | 00:17 |
| ethana2 | when i have 1 | 00:17 |
| acuster | update-java-alternatives | 00:17 |
| ethana2 | why am i sitting here waiting for it to install fonts for 20 languages i don't speak? | 00:19 |
| ethana2 | what the | 00:20 |
| ethana2 | Netx needs a location for storing cache files? | 00:20 |
| ethana2 | ..open source jnlp client.. | 00:21 |
| ethana2 | well don't ask /me/, I don't know, where do they belong? | 00:21 |
| ethana2 | oh hey, it /doesn't/ need the sun java fonts, ok | 00:22 |
| ethana2 | ...well, java in 8.10 works where 8.04 failed; I'm happy to see that | 00:22 |
| coppro | 8.04 failed with java? | 00:23 |
| coppro | never noticed | 00:23 |
| ethana2 | fixed width fonts | 00:23 |

| pabligeno | any people can helpme? | 00:42 |
| keithclark | I updated to 8.10 recently and have been having some strange problems when I just noticed that my grub menu.lst was not modified. It is still referencing 2.6.24-19-generic and not 2.6.27-7-generic. How to correct this? | 00:42 |
| pabligeno | please | 00:42 |
| === bascule is now known as Guest9734 | ||
| pabligeno | mmmm | 00:42 |
| pabligeno | i have ubuntu 8.10 | 00:42 |
| ballzee | no | 00:42 |
| pabligeno | :( | 00:42 |
| ethana2 | pabligeno: we certainly don't have enough information to do that, no | 00:42 |
| pabligeno | and i not see my wireless card | 00:42 |
| ethana2 | ah, ok, | 00:42 |
| ethana2 | continue | 00:42 |
| pabligeno | mm | 00:42 |
| pabligeno | ok | 00:42 |
| pabligeno | lspci | 00:42 |
| pabligeno | 10:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) | 00:42 |
| pabligeno | this is my wireless card | 00:42 |
| ethana2 | interesting | 00:42 |
| pabligeno | and the modules are installed | 00:42 |
| pabligeno | mmm | 00:43 |
| ballzee | i looked in /etc/network/interfaces in 8.04 and its the same now | 00:43 |
| pabligeno | but in ifconfig ouput i not see my wireless card | 00:43 |
| ballzee | so is /etc/resolve.conf | 00:43 |
| pabligeno | mmm | 00:43 |
| * ethana2 just got confused | 00:43 | |
| ethana2 | i wish pidgin would have selected more different colors for the two of you | 00:43 |
| pabligeno | hot to solve this problem? | 00:43 |
| pabligeno | mmm | 00:43 |
| pabligeno | :( | 00:44 |
| pabligeno | how i can activate my wireless card? | 00:44 |
| ethana2 | I guess... file a bug? | 00:44 |
| ethana2 | it should Just Work | 00:44 |
| ethana2 | if it does not, that's a Bad Thing | 00:44 |
| === Guest9734 is now known as bascule | ||
| ethana2 | in fact, that's probably all i can do for either of you | 00:44 |
| ethana2 | 8.10 isn't out yet, it has bugs, you've run into them | 00:44 |
| ethana2 | be sure they have been reported | 00:44 |
| ethana2 | for workarounds, you'll need somebody who knows more than i do | 00:45 |
| ballzee | ill go baCK to 8.04 i guess wish i could uninstall this | 00:46 |
| DanaG | Hmm, is there anything about the wifi card in /etc/network/interfaces? | 00:46 |
| ethana2 | always have two installs | 00:46 |
| DanaG | There shouldn't be anythign there. | 00:46 |
| ethana2 | I had a borked intrepid in a dual boot for a while | 00:46 |
| ethana2 | I'm going to keep 8.04.1 for quite some time along side intrepid | 00:46 |
| ethana2 | maybe even beside jaunty | 00:46 |
| ballzee | im not dual booting for anything | 00:47 |
| keanu | I've found one small bug and one possible bug | 00:47 |
| ethana2 | yeah, i used to do that too, but i learned my lesson | 00:47 |
| keanu | XChat cleared the network list, which I'm thinking is a possible bug | 00:47 |
| ethana2 | keanu: can you reproduce it? | 00:47 |
| ballzee | takes under an houre to install i didnt waste much time | 00:48 |
| keanu | and when disabling the touchpad, the mouse can still move if started in the top right corner | 00:48 |
| lacqui | i've decided to virtualize instead of dual booting | 00:48 |
| keanu | ethana2, what am I testing? | 00:48 |
| keanu | just closing xchat and restarting? | 00:48 |
| ethana2 | keanu: whatever triggered the buggy behavior | 00:48 |
| ethana2 | if you can describe how to see the bug so someone else can verify it | 00:48 |
| ethana2 | it'll make it easier to get it fixed | 00:48 |
| keanu | ethana2, I installed about 100 updates and restarted my computer =/ | 00:48 |
| keanu | I'll try restarting xchat, in case it isn't saving the settings properly | 00:49 |
| ethana2 | 'running updates' isn't very helpful as a description of what triggered behavior unless you know package names | 00:49 |
| zume | I see there is #kubuntu-offtopic, but does ubuntu have an offtopic room? | 00:49 |
| ethana2 | zume: yes. | 00:49 |
| ethana2 | ..i think | 00:49 |
| zume | ethana2: Wow apparently it does. Cool beans. | 00:50 |
| charlie-tca | zume: Ubuntu would be #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:51 |
| zume | charlie-tca: yea i found it thanks :P | 00:51 |
| ethana2 | i think i'll expand the rule i made for myself | 00:52 |
| ethana2 | from no checking for updates less than 6 hours after checking previously.. up to 8 | 00:52 |
| coppro | I have it on cron | 00:52 |
| ethana2 | heh | 00:53 |
| coppro | and yet still insist on checking every half hour or so | 00:53 |
| coppro | :/ | 00:53 |
| ethana2 | yeah, i had to stop myself from doing that | 00:53 |
| ethana2 | that's exactly why i made that rule | 00:53 |
| ethana2 | to not go all OCD on update-manager | 00:53 |
| coppro | hmm... actually, I should add pbuilder and chroot updates to the cron script | 00:53 |
| coppro | there done | 00:55 |
| coppro | heh, I don't use update-manager even | 00:55 |
| ethana2 | i have a 'check-update' and an 'update' command in my .bashrc | 00:56 |
| ethana2 | I also have a remove function that moves files into the trash directory | 00:56 |
| ethana2 | english words like 'unmount' 'get' 'list' 'enter' 'murder', etc.. | 00:56 |
| ethana2 | One should be able to support Ubuntu CLI with voice | 00:57 |
| prometheanfire | I saw that the nvidia driver in ibex doesnt work with newer nvidia cards (9800gt specificly) | 00:57 |
| ethana2 | sudo apt-get ... isn't english, and it confuses grandmothers and such | 00:57 |
| coppro | lol | 00:57 |
| ethana2 | coppro: you laugh, but if your grandma goes from using nothing to using ubuntu, and you need to provide support, you need all the simplicity you can get | 00:59 |
| coppro | ethana2: you have your grandma using the console? | 00:59 |
| ethana2 | she's not likely to use IM, so you can count on needing to be able to provide support over the phone. | 00:59 |
| ethana2 | coppro: Sometimes you just can't remember every odd menu option, tab, and button | 00:59 |
| coppro | ethana2: true | 00:59 |
| coppro | although you're already one step ahead of me | 01:00 |
| coppro | having convinced your grandmother to use linux | 01:00 |
| ethana2 | coppro: but I'll be sure to set up remote desktop and such before I declare the machine 'ready' | 01:00 |
| keanu | ethana2, did a reboot, and the network i added still stayed there | 01:00 |
| keanu | the other default ones are gone though | 01:00 |
| mib5 | I have a vague ibex problem. everything stutters. from the intro audio when ibex loads, to any music or video i play back | 01:01 |
| mib5 | both audio and video makes me think it's not a soundcard or a video driver problem | 01:01 |
| ethana2 | mib5: how is CPU usage when it does? | 01:01 |
| mib5 | 1 sec i'll check | 01:01 |
| keanu | it isn't a big deal, just thought I'd make it known | 01:02 |
| mib5 | ethana2: very high, but not pegged, doesn't seem to go over 60%, also mem usage never leaves +10% | 01:02 |
| ethana2 | dual core? | 01:03 |
| mib5 | no. | 01:03 |
| ethana2 | ...interesting.... | 01:03 |
| mib5 | oh thank you :) lol | 01:03 |
| ethana2 | see, a dual core can choke without going over 60% ;) | 01:03 |
| mib5 | i figured that was the idea :) | 01:04 |
| ethana2 | so it peaks and stutters at the same time, right? | 01:04 |
| mib5 | also, same issue with compiz disabled, if you were going to ask | 01:04 |
| ethana2 | or jumps, rather i guess | 01:04 |
| mib5 | yes, peaks and stutters at the same time, or jumps.. slowly | 01:04 |
| ethana2 | perhaps not enough data is being written to the sound buffer by the audio system to provide seamless playback under normal usage | 01:05 |
| mib5 | oh this is interesting, i found a way to make it just do it with the audio but have the video be ok | 01:05 |
| mib5 | maybe it is an audio problem | 01:05 |
| dystopia | how to i use inittab to set up serial console client on ubuntu? | 01:05 |
| mib5 | 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) <-- :) | 01:05 |
| mib5 | Yes, an audio thing. I remember in hardy i had to adjust an alsa config file with a certain line, like options mode=auto or something similar | 01:07 |
| keithclark | I'm running 8.10 with an ATI Xpress 200 graphics card along with the proprietary drivers but I cannot get Compiz to work. In Appearance, Visual Effects, Extra it just says that The Desktop Effects Could Not Be Enabled. Any thoughts on what to adjust/change to enable them? They worked fine under 8.04.1 | 01:07 |

| dystopia | how to i use inittab to set up serial console client on ubuntu? | 01:08 |
| nonnii | Can someone tell me, is there still known issues with gdm-guest-session, because it's not working for me. It starts new session nicely at vt9 but nothing comes up. The screen just stays brownish orange (the ubuntu colour I guess). I see that no gnome-session or anything is started for guest user, only x-window-manager or something such, can not remember now. Could try it again though. | 01:09 |

| moobag | if i install the 8.10 release candidate, will i have to do a full re-install to get the full version or will it update to the full release? | 01:11 |
| ethana2 | it'll just update | 01:11 |
| esac | how can i modify the configuration of the guest account? for example having firefox automatically come up, or disable certain apps ? | 01:11 |
| moobag | like, update through the desktop or will i have to download it and install the update through cd ? | 01:12 |
| mib5 | keithclark: your drivers aren't working properl, please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log , although i;m guessing you'll have to reinstall the drivers. | 01:12 |
| mib5 | keithclark: also, may i ask why you're using the proprietary driver? my x200 works fine with the opensource one | 01:13 |
| nonnii | moobag: it'll update normally from the desktop | 01:13 |
| keithclark | Ubuntu chose to do that | 01:13 |
| moobag | awesome, thanks a lot :] | 01:13 |
| mib5 | ... no it doesn't. you have to specifically ask for it, ubuntu never chooses to install a proprietary anything iirc | 01:13 |

| moobag | are there many compatability issues between 64 and 32 bit versions? I have a core2 with 2gb so id like to make the most of it and get the fastest ubuntu i can... | 01:27 |
| mib5 | keithclark: ok, honestly this looks like a bug, i can probably fix it but it will probably happen to others. my suggestion is #compiz-fusion for a temp fix and possibly file a bug report if you get the same results after uninstalling / reinstalling the drivers through jockey | 01:27 |
| moobag | but i dont want any more troubles | 01:27 |
| keithclark | mib5, yes, results have already been duplicated through reinstalling. | 01:28 |
| moobag | so is it worth getting x64 or should i just stick with 32 for the safety? | 01:29 |
| mib5 | i don't want to say this prematurely, but that's probably bad :/ is this an upgrade of ibex or new install? | 01:29 |
| mib5 | keithclark: actually, here's a dumb question, you didn't use xgl on 8.04 did you? | 01:30 |

| keithclark | mib5, Yes | 01:30 |
| keithclark | mib5, I had no issues with compiz in 8.04 | 01:31 |
| moobag | haha what do you mean mostly? is it worth switching? | 01:32 |
| Hobbsee | wow, there aren't a lot of people torrenting the RC images | 01:32 |
| chadeldridge | Can anyone remind me how to fix compiz not restarting after a wake from suspend ? | 01:34 |
| moobag | aarrh im really stuck as to whether to install 64 or 32 :( | 01:35 |
| filth_ | hmm. how would i go about changing the resolution of my bootsplash image? you know, the one at startup, where it loads ubuntu with the orange bar? | 01:36 |
| filth_ | i want to make it smaller, it looks far too big | 01:36 |
| nonnii | moobag: install 64bit using separate / and /home and try it out. If it doesn't work out for you, install 32bit over your / | 01:37 |
| chadeldridge | filth_: not sure there is a way to change the resolution at that screen, i would like to as well. my normal is 1900x1280 and that screen looks 640x480 | 01:39 |
| filth_ | chadeldridge: eh. | 01:40 |
| nonnii | filth_ and chadeldridge, how about /etc/usplash.conf | 01:42 |
| chadeldridge | mine says 1920x1280 ... | 01:43 |
| filth_ | mine says 1280x800. | 01:44 |
| filth_ | chadeldridge: how big is your monitor? | 01:44 |
| filth_ | probably 21" | 01:44 |
| chadeldridge | laptop display on the xps m1710 laptop | 01:45 |
| chadeldridge | and i have a 24" monitor as well | 01:45 |
| chadeldridge | im having a complete brain fart on how to restart compiz after a resume from standby | 01:46 |
| nonnii | why can't that guest-session just work, bugs me out that I have to lend my machine to my friends who don't know anything that they are doing whilst browsing the tubes and stuff :| | 01:47 |
| nonnii | chadeldridge: have you tried compiz --replase or whatnot? | 01:48 |
| chuxxsss | hi all I'm trying to install MS office 2007 to make a flyer but it will not autorun or let me use the setup.exe file any help would be nice | 01:50 |
| ZehRique | chuxxsss: did you check if Wine runs it? | 01:51 |
| chadeldridge | chuxxsss: you will probably have to use crossover or wine to get that to install .. office 2007 is spotty support at best | 01:51 |
| chadeldridge | crossover works | 01:51 |
| ZehRique | chadeldridge: hmm... good. | 01:52 |
| chadeldridge | im running the entire 2007 suite w/o access right now | 01:52 |
| chuxxsss | it did on the old box under 8.04 but I only got word and excel and publisher working | 01:52 |
| chadeldridge | in wine ? | 01:53 |
| chuxxsss | yes | 01:53 |
| chadeldridge | go get crossover .. its awesome | 01:53 |
| chuxxsss | can I use crossover for the games as well | 01:53 |
| chadeldridge | yes | 01:53 |
| chadeldridge | wow runs under it perfectly as does lots of others | 01:54 |
| moobag | huh why have i never heard of crossover :( | 01:54 |
| moobag | what is it? | 01:54 |
| chuxxsss | thank chadeldridge | 01:54 |
| chuxxsss | I have | 01:55 |
| chadeldridge | http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name | 01:55 |
| chadeldridge | its about the best thing that ever happened to wine | 01:55 |
| moobag | oh, its not free :| | 01:55 |
| moobag | that sucks | 01:55 |
| chadeldridge | worth the like 30$ ... but you can get the trial to make sure it works for you, its full featured | 01:56 |
| chuxxsss | support moobag not all is free people need to eat | 01:56 |
| chadeldridge | if you help with regression testing and applicatnion testing for them like I am you can become an advocate and get it free .. but you have to actually put in work for them | 01:57 |
| moobag | hmmm | 01:57 |
| chadeldridge | i gladly pay them for it though, its well worth it to see them continue | 01:57 |
| moobag | if i wanna use it for games etc though | 01:57 |
| moobag | its quite expensive | 01:57 |
| chadeldridge | how so ? 40$ forever | 01:58 |
| chuxxsss | I think so | 01:58 |
| chuxxsss | can you buy one that does games and office plus autocad | 01:59 |
| crimsun | ~ppa2 deb updated for people still experiencing bug 274995 | 01:59 |
| nonnii | chadeldridge: what's the difference between cedega and crossover? | 01:59 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 274995 in alsa-utils "shutdown freeze on alsa shutdown" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/274995 | 01:59 |
| chadeldridge | yes its the pro edition | 01:59 |
| moobag | yeah why not cedega? | 01:59 |
| moobag | why not just use openoffice? what do you need? | 02:00 |
| chadeldridge | nonnii: i used cedega for a while . its utter crap for gaming due to lack of real directx support | 02:00 |
| chuxxsss | let not get into which one is best moobag it like cars | 02:00 |
| moobag | oh yeah i know but for money/effort etc | 02:01 |
| chadeldridge | crossover seems much easier to me .. but thats just imo | 02:01 |
| moobag | you have to renew crossover after a year or you stop getting updates | 02:02 |
| chuxxsss | how do I use it if wine is install chadeldridge | 02:02 |
| nonnii | I tried wine once, notepad wouldn't start so I removed it. I really have no need :P | 02:03 |
| chuxxsss | it not showing up | 02:03 |
| thatguy | so i upgraded and for some reason my sound stopped working. Oddly enough i used to have this problem and it was fixed when i upgraded to 8.04 | 02:03 |
| chadeldridge | chuxxsss : there are some guides around google on installing office 2007 on wine .. its not easy though, so good luck on that one | 02:03 |
| xxploit | nonnii: well if you look at the cedega forums anytime...the users always come off disgruntled with the their support and also unless things have changed cedega used to be subscription based, like 5$ a month i think. Plus I dont think they contribute anything back upstream to wine where as crossover does. | 02:03 |
| chadeldridge | xxploit: exactly right | 02:04 |

| thismamacooks200 | I can switch to guest session, but not login guest session or su guest session | 02:04 |
| chuxxsss | I get unable to find default bottle | 02:05 |
| chuxxsss | in crossover | 02:05 |
| chuxxsss | help | 02:05 |
| xxploit | chuxxsss: are u trying to run an app you didnt install in crossover? | 02:06 |
| xxploit | also chuxxsss #crossover | 02:06 |
| nonnii | thismamacooks200: lucky you, I can't even get the guest session to work at all | 02:06 |
| thismamacooks200 | oh | 02:06 |
| chuxxsss | I trying to load MS office 2007 with crossover | 02:06 |
| chuxxsss | in 8.10 | 02:06 |
| chuxxsss | xxploit, get my last | 02:07 |
| nkei0 | heya everyone | 02:07 |
| nonnii | o/ | 02:08 |
| nkei0 | Anyone want to help me with a video playing in firefox problem? | 02:08 |
| chuxxsss | I havent got a autorun program when I place the disc in | 02:08 |
| chuxxsss | help | 02:09 |
| chadeldridge | chuxxsss: you wont in linux | 02:09 |
| xxploit | chuxxsss: id imagine that is listed in the supported apps whereas you can just click to install it? I've never used it for MS Office since I use Open Office. But crossover should be able to install it without a prob, you should join #crossover for any questions you have | 02:09 |
| tsedreyt | Hey guys, I've been on beta for a while now, no problems...until today when I dled the RC updates and now I have no sound. Anyone else have this problem? | 02:09 |
| chuxxsss | xxploit, thanks and it's not under 8.10 | 02:09 |
| webmaren | just ran the latest batch of upgrades and my monitor reverted to 800x600 | 02:10 |
| chadeldridge | tsedreyt: i think that is a known bug i saw posted earlier | 02:10 |
| tsedreyt | yeah? so I'm not alone/ didn't do anything bad? | 02:10 |
| xxploit | chuxxsss: when you install crossover it places menu entrys for you, goto Install Software then in the list it should have Ms Office etc | 02:10 |
| thatguy | tsedreyt: i have the same problem | 02:11 |
| tsedreyt | chadeldridge: that's at least a little bit comforting... | 02:11 |
| trigpin | to upgrade just sudo apt-get dist upgrade ? | 02:11 |
| U236Willy | i had hardware drivers keep telling me to get the proprietary nvidia 71.?? drivers.. so i did... and it borked kdm | 02:11 |
| tsedreyt | thatguy: haha kind of ironic, I deleted my windows partition today, and I switch back to linux...no sound | 02:12 |
| chadeldridge | trigpin : sudo update-manager -d i think | 02:12 |
| U236Willy | i ended up using a tty and logging in and reverting the xorg.conf which worked but it's still not perfect. | 02:12 |
| thatguy | tsedreyt: well this has happened to me before, i couldn't play sound before 7.10 and 8.04 kept constant | 02:12 |
| trigpin | chadeldridge, ah thanks thats it | 02:12 |
| thatguy | my computer has always had sound issues as it is | 02:12 |
| tsedreyt | well I had sound on the beta until about 4 hours ago | 02:13 |
| tsedreyt | do you know what card you have? | 02:13 |
| thatguy | oh i just upgraded from 7.10 | 02:13 |
| thatguy | no | 02:13 |
| thatguy | how do i check if i'm in beta or rc? | 02:14 |
| chuxxsss | no one is answering in crossover maybe they have crossover already | 02:14 |
| chadeldridge | chuxxsss: do you need to download crossover ? | 02:14 |
| tsedreyt | I'm at that awkward stage in my linux career where I know how to do everything, but I never know what to do.... | 02:15 |
| chadeldridge | chuxxsss: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/ | 02:15 |
| tsedreyt | its like being a teenager... | 02:15 |
| thatguy | i'm at the novice stage where i need to learn how to use my terminal other than irssi and how to configure pidgin | 02:15 |
| chuxxsss | chadeldridge, I have it is now installed autorun not install it is telling me but it said that in wine first under 8.10 | 02:15 |
| chadeldridge | tsedryt: break things and fix them | 02:15 |
| thatguy | so tsedreyt how to i check if i'm in rc or beta? | 02:15 |
| tsedreyt | pretty much if you've upgraded your system today | 02:16 |
| moobag | im really struggling to choose between 32 and 64 bit versions of 8.10 | 02:16 |
| tsedreyt | you are in RC | 02:16 |
| moobag | helpp | 02:16 |
| IsTI37 | Who is using ibex right now ? , it works or it is just like 8.04 , you need to set manually everything which should work ? | 02:16 |
| xxploit | chuxxsss: youll most likely need to install it using crossover, not the autorun program | 02:16 |
| webmaren | i <3 linux, one step fix for my graphics issue | 02:16 |
| chuxxsss | I am | 02:16 |
| chuxxsss | IsTI37, I am | 02:16 |
| U236Willy | it works mostly well | 02:16 |
| thatguy | tsedreyt: i started the upgrade yesterday though | 02:16 |
| chadeldridge | chuxxsss: applications - crossover - install windows products - select office 2007 from the list - specify where the setup.exe file is on the cd - click go | 02:16 |
| thatguy | and i think it was an hour or two before rc was released | 02:17 |
| U236Willy | only a few issues | 02:17 |
| tsedreyt | upgrade again | 02:17 |
| IsTI37 | chuxxsss I suppose that you don't have problems with the network | 02:17 |
| moobag | 64 or 32 bit?!?!?! aaarrrgh :( | 02:17 |
| tsedreyt | moobag: how much RAM? | 02:17 |
| chadeldridge | moobag: every time i do 64 bit i regret it .. | 02:17 |
| moobag | 2gb | 02:17 |
| tsedreyt | 32 | 02:17 |
| moobag | and a core2 | 02:17 |
| chadeldridge | go 32 | 02:17 |
| trigpin | anyone any ideas if over or under clocking possible ? there a simple way ? | 02:17 |
| thatguy | i also had a problem with torrentflux | 02:18 |
| chadeldridge | 32 for sure then | 02:18 |
| nkei0 | so, i'm having trouble playing this video... http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/pac_ctnt_988/text/0,2829,DIY_24936_66001,00.html?videoid=74949&nl=DIY-NL_v156_26 | 02:18 |
| moobag | thank youuu :D il just trust you haha | 02:18 |
| moobag | how come? | 02:18 |
| tsedreyt | you have no need for 64 | 02:18 |
| chadeldridge | ^^^ yep | 02:18 |
| nkei0 | I right click on it and it gives me the option to play with "media player" and it doesn't work either | 02:18 |
| tsedreyt | the problem with 32 is that it can only handle 3.7 gb of ram | 02:18 |
| IsTI37 | try to install windows media player firefox plugin | 02:18 |
| thatguy | mplayerplug-in? | 02:19 |
| chadeldridge | nkei0: just install vlc | 02:19 |
| tsedreyt | vlc is basically the answer for anything movie related | 02:19 |
| xxploit | tsedreyt: yes it is! | 02:19 |
| chadeldridge | sadly .. it seems to be .. mplayer / totem are just meh | 02:19 |
| tsedreyt | I uninstall them pretty quickly | 02:20 |
| IsTI37 | chadeldridge: I have vlc and I have the same problem as him, the answer is to install the vlc firefox plugin... | 02:20 |
| tsedreyt | anyone else loose sound with the RC? | 02:20 |
| chadeldridge | i just played it .. so i would assume so | 02:20 |
| nkei0 | chadeldridge: I just did. | 02:20 |
| trigpin | nkei0, do not think it you im having problems watching to likly site , why you want to watch celling painting secrets would be like watching paint dry heh | 02:21 |
| nkei0 | trigpin: I'm painting my ceilings right now... | 02:21 |
| chadeldridge | will you do mine too .. the white in here is like a sanitarium | 02:21 |
| tsedreyt | my ceilings are cement.... | 02:21 |
| nkei0 | Or rather, about to be, I just scraped all of the popcorn off, I'm filling in all the patches and priming | 02:21 |
| thatguy | i guess i'll go to launchpad | 02:22 |
| chuxxsss | You guys rock but the trail did work | 02:22 |
| trigpin | nkei0, just applie paint to celling no secret to it | 02:22 |
| thatguy | tsedreyt: sounds like you live in a nuclear fallout shelter | 02:22 |
| chadeldridge | chuxxsss : gj | 02:22 |
| nkei0 | trigpin: The tiniest details show up on the ceilings... | 02:22 |
| tsedreyt | no, just a college dorm | 02:22 |
| nkei0 | IsTI37: Where do I find the vlc plugin for firefox? | 02:22 |
| tsedreyt | www.google.com | 02:22 |
| chadeldridge | tsedreyt ... i solved those issues in college by drinking until i forgot there was a ceiling .. | 02:23 |
| tsedreyt | I will be getting there very shortly, don't even worry about it | 02:23 |
| thatguy | mplayerplug-in | 02:23 |
| tsedreyt | but usually I like to do that with music, so I must fix my sound first! | 02:23 |
| IsTI37 | nkei0 just try synaptic , combine vlc with firefox = vlc firefox and you should find the mozilla-plugin-vlc plugin | 02:23 |
| musikgoat | tsedreyt: so is a audio driver running in lspci? assuming its an onboard sound card | 02:24 |
| tsedreyt | musikgoat: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) | 02:25 |
| tsedreyt | and yes, it is onboard | 02:25 |
| thatguy | i have no output when i do lspci | grep audio | 02:26 |
| chadeldridge | probably wont | 02:26 |
| nkei0 | alright, anyone want to help me tackle my problems of freezing almost as soon as i boot up unless i have acpi=off, noapic nolapic and edd=on in my menu.lst? | 02:26 |
| musikgoat | tsedreyt: maybe check this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=921289 | 02:26 |
| thatguy | tsedreyt: in good news 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) | 02:26 |
| thatguy | that's my out put | 02:26 |
| tsedreyt | okay so we are screwed together, good to know. | 02:27 |
| musikgoat | thatguy: next time use grep -i for case insensitive | 02:27 |
| tsedreyt | thank you musikgoat | 02:27 |
| musikgoat | yw | 02:27 |
| chadeldridge | maybe its bad to say but i have the same controller and mine is working fine | 02:27 |
| tsedreyt | ...that killed my good spirits, thank you. | 02:28 |

| ilovegnulinux | hi, unable to upgrade from hardy using 'update-manager -d' | 02:30 |
| chadeldridge | sudo update-manager -d | 02:30 |
| tsedreyt | nice screenname | 02:30 |
| ilovegnulinux | tried that. no new version shown :( | 02:30 |
| [ipc]michael | apt-get update then... | 02:31 |
| thatguy | do alt-f2 and then try it? | 02:31 |
| musikgoat | ilovegnulinux: no sudo | 02:31 |
| ilovegnulinux | did that too | 02:31 |
| musikgoat | ok | 02:31 |
| chadeldridge | what software sources do you have turned on ? | 02:31 |
| musikgoat | check processes, maybe one is sleeping or something | 02:32 |
| nkei0 | Hrm, I installed VLC media player, but that video still doesn't player. | 02:32 |
| nkei0 | play even | 02:32 |
| thatguy | anyway tsedreyt you think zombie mplayer is the problem? | 02:32 |
| ilovegnulinux | the hardy ones, long term support | 02:32 |
| chadeldridge | main . universe . restricted . multiverse ? | 02:32 |
| ilovegnulinux | yup | 02:32 |
| tsedreyt | I am a little biased, I think if its not called VLC, it isn't going to work. | 02:32 |
| chadeldridge | updates section ? | 02:33 |
| thatguy | mplayerplug-in ... | 02:33 |
| tsedreyt | I am probably the wrong person to ask...i like playing with conky... | 02:33 |
| nkei0 | I'm attempting the mplayer one now. | 02:33 |
| ilovegnulinux | hardy important and recommended | 02:33 |
| ilovegnulinux | and in upgrade, long term support only | 02:34 |
| chadeldridge | change that to normal | 02:34 |
| chadeldridge | sudo apt-get update | 02:34 |
| chadeldridge | sudo update-manger -d | 02:34 |
| ilovegnulinux | k, ll try that | 02:34 |
| ilovegnulinux | thnx | 02:35 |
| chadeldridge | may want to try to change your repo location as well .. mine flaked out before and would not pull so i changed it and all was good | 02:35 |
| ilovegnulinux | possible, i use the server in my country | 02:36 |
| tsedreyt | ...which is? | 02:36 |
| chadeldridge | may want to do US just in case your local repo is not updated for some odd reason | 02:36 |
| tsedreyt | I way too talkative for support chats. | 02:36 |
| chadeldridge | lol | 02:37 |
| ilovegnulinux | k | 02:37 |
| tsedreyt | but seriously, id give ubuntu my life if they would just fix their sound and wireless issues | 02:37 |
| Hobbsee | what issues? :P | 02:37 |
| tsedreyt | oh you know | 02:38 |
| chadeldridge | really wireless issue still ? mine is finally working out of box with no wrapper | 02:38 |
| tsedreyt | the part where they don't work | 02:38 |
| Hobbsee | go with intel. no more problem. | 02:38 |
| Hobbsee | mine have worked for ages. | 02:38 |
| chadeldridge | broadcom is the intel bastard stepchild though and they dont work well in ubuntu | 02:38 |
| tsedreyt | I won my laptop...and as nice as that was, I didn't get to configure it, but its not bad except for atheros card | 02:38 |
| chadeldridge | ohh god | 02:38 |
| chadeldridge | atheros are a pita to get working .. have you tried ndiswrapper and the windows driver ? | 02:39 |
| tsedreyt | I swear, I have like 9 drivers installed on my hd | 02:39 |
| chadeldridge | lol | 02:39 |
| tsedreyt | and yes, I have. | 02:39 |
| chadeldridge | i was like that with my original broadcom until i learned of fwcutter | 02:39 |
| chadeldridge | i guess ilovegnulinux got fixed .. lol | 02:40 |
| tsedreyt | supposedly the lwlwifi was supposed to be the gift of man to wireless | 02:40 |
| nonnii | can anyone here help me with gdm-guest-session, because it is not working for me. The new session starts to vt10 (my normal user is at vt9) but the screen stays brownish orange. No gnome-session is started for the guest session, only x-window-manager and d-bus | 02:40 |
| tsedreyt | that worked great... | 02:40 |
| chadeldridge | never heard of it actually | 02:41 |
| Hobbsee | chadeldridge: broadcom always was a pain. they don't opensource their stuff. | 02:41 |
| Hobbsee | or at least, didn't. not sure about now | 02:41 |
| chadeldridge | hobbsee .. yeah i found out the really hard way | 02:41 |
| Hobbsee | chadeldridge: stay away from marvell chipsets too, as a hint :P | 02:42 |
| chadeldridge | i broke down and just bought a new internal card for the laptop .. an intel | 02:42 |
| Hobbsee | haha, smart. | 02:42 |
| ad_ | hey is the 64-bit beta pretty stable now? | 02:42 |
| chadeldridge | best 50$ ever | 02:42 |
| tsedreyt | yes | 02:42 |
| tsedreyt | it is | 02:42 |
| Hobbsee | i bought an atheros card for the other laptop. worked a charm. | 02:42 |
| Hobbsee | only used it up to edgy, though, iirc. | 02:42 |
| chadeldridge | ad_ I am installing it on another machine right now, but i would assume its as stable as any 64 bit ubuntu relase | 02:42 |
| tsedreyt | what kind? | 02:42 |
| tsedreyt | I have this 802.11 a/b/g | 02:43 |
| ad_ | i thought that, not much they can update in 4 days heh | 02:43 |
| === chadeldridge is now known as zomgwifeaggrobrb | ||
| tsedreyt | and some wrote somewhere that it would work if I disabled the A and the B, but that's a little beyond me... | 02:43 |
| tsedreyt | (bummer man....) | 02:44 |
| ad_ | so nvidia card should run fine | 02:44 |
| tsedreyt | yes | 02:45 |

| chuxxsss | hope this crossover works the trial didn't so I pay for it now | 02:47 |
| chadeldridge | chuxxsss: the full just unlocks the trial | 02:47 |
| chadeldridge | so if trial didnt it wont | 02:47 |
| jamesish | Hey folks. The ruby on rails channel is being distinctly quiet, and youse guys always seem to know the answers. Installed Ruby from source, irb works fine but script/console in rails frankly doesnt. | 02:47 |
| jamesish | usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10:in `require': no such file to load -- readline (LoadError) | 02:47 |
| chadeldridge | you need to read the directions i think mine is working fine as well as all the other advocates of 2007 | 02:48 |
| chuxxsss | chadeldridge, the trial work not work so I just pay 60 dollars au for it | 02:48 |
| chadeldridge | chuxxsss there is no diff between trial and full .. its the same app | 02:48 |
| tsedreyt | (chadelridge: is aggro short for aggravated?) | 02:49 |
| nkei0 | so i've tried the mplayer plugin and vlc and neither on of them work, and firefox still wants to open it with totem, but what file do i need to point firefox to to play it with another program? | 02:49 |
| tsedreyt | uninstall totem? | 02:49 |
| chadeldridge | tsedreyt: yeah its her only mode | 02:49 |
| chuxxsss | what happen when I get red state bar for excel | 02:49 |
| chuxxsss | unknown | 02:49 |
| nkei0 | tsedreyt: k, thx | 02:49 |
| tsedreyt | chad: bummer. | 02:50 |
| chadeldridge | its ok .. i ordered her food she will be distracted for an hour or so | 02:50 |
| chadeldridge | lol | 02:50 |
| tsedreyt | hmm, if I ever chose to get married, I will remember that tip | 02:51 |
| tsedreyt | but I don't have to worry about that for a while | 02:51 |
| chadeldridge | the credit card works to placate the savage beast as well ... but that gets costly | 02:51 |
| tsedreyt | anyway, back to linux! | 02:52 |
| tsedreyt | well, at least ubuntu is free? does that balance a little? | 02:52 |
| chadeldridge | lol when you get married you will realize the hilarity of that statement | 02:52 |
| chadeldridge | btw has anyone tried cairo-dock .. its pretty smexxy | 02:53 |
| tsedreyt | I was always an awn fan | 02:53 |
| tsedreyt | takes up less resources too | 02:53 |
| chadeldridge | i had graphic artifacts with awn ... so i gave up | 02:53 |
| chadeldridge | i still am yet to understand why dvd playback just doesnt work out of the box | 02:55 |
| tsedreyt | yeah, I wanted to either run gnome panel or a dock | 02:55 |
| tsedreyt | and I could never get enough out of a dock to get rid of the panel | 02:55 |
| tsedreyt | so I just configured my panel to what I wanted | 02:55 |
| chadeldridge | i always had my panel setup to look exactly like a dock so it wasnt a hard stretch | 02:56 |
| tsedreyt | I don't really do graphical launchers | 02:56 |
| tsedreyt | I use launchy, and I love it | 02:56 |
| chuxxsss | chadeldridge, Thanks it works fine | 02:56 |
| chadeldridge | very interesting .. looking at launchy now | 02:57 |
| tsedreyt | its really great | 02:57 |
| tsedreyt | I hotkeyed win+space | 02:57 |
| Hobbsee | chadeldridge: dvd playback: because it's illegal in some countries. | 02:57 |
| Hobbsee | and, y'know, having ubuntu sued wouldn't be cool. | 02:57 |
| tsedreyt | it brings up this great little window...I type F for firefox, P for pigeon, it adapts to what you use the most | 02:57 |
| chadeldridge | hobbsee: yeah i figured as much, sad and annoying | 02:57 |
| Hobbsee | besides, afaik, the descrambled ones *do* play out of the box | 02:58 |
| chadeldridge | tsedreyt .. that would be awesome for my fluxbox install | 02:58 |
| chadeldridge | hobbsee: yeah we bought the kid a dvd tonight and i tried to play it and of course it didnt work ... so an hour of fishing later i just gave up, i can play it in vlc but no sound | 02:58 |
| Hobbsee | !dvd | 02:59 |

| chadeldridge | all interlaced and nasty lookin | 02:59 |
| tsedreyt | that must have been a bummer for him... | 02:59 |
| * Hobbsee points at https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html#dvdplayback | 02:59 | |
| chadeldridge | yeah i have the restricted extras installed .. thats the first thing i did but it didnt fix everything | 03:00 |
| Hobbsee | but the location has changed, and it's now /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh | 03:00 |
| Hobbsee | no, it doesn't... | 03:00 |
| thatguy | tsedreyt: any luck yet? | 03:00 |
| Hobbsee | restricted extras does *not* contain libdvdcss2. | 03:00 |
| chadeldridge | correcy | 03:00 |
| chadeldridge | and its not a dpkg anymore .. contained in something else | 03:00 |
| Hobbsee | it's a .deb in medibuntu, which is where that script pulls it from | 03:01 |
| tsedreyt | thatguy: not yet... | 03:01 |
| chadeldridge | thats awesome .. its what i was looking for but counldnt find | 03:01 |
| chadeldridge | thanks | 03:01 |
| tsedreyt | my bootup time in Ibex is super long, anyone else that way? | 03:01 |
| chadeldridge | still no audio though | 03:02 |
| Hobbsee | is it muted? | 03:02 |
| nkei0 | christ, i cannot ge!t this video to play | 03:02 |
| tsedreyt | I got an idea | 03:02 |
| nkei0 | http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/pac_ctnt_988/text/0,2829,DIY_24936_66001,00.html?videoid=74949&nl=DIY-NL_v156_26 | 03:03 |
| tsedreyt | do sudo apt-get upgrade | 03:03 |
| tsedreyt | there is one that says totem-plugin | 03:03 |
| tsedreyt | I have no idea what it does, but maybe it'll help you | 03:03 |
| nkei0 | I uninstalle everything totem, and set everything to mplayer | 03:03 |
| nkei0 | holy crap nevermind, it just played | 03:04 |
| tsedreyt | hm, then forget me | 03:04 |
| chadeldridge | nah not muted | 03:04 |
| nkei0 | that's weird though, the video will play but i have no controls for it | 03:05 |
| AirBender | Hello | 03:06 |
| tsedreyt | hi | 03:06 |
| thiebaude | hi | 03:06 |
| AirBender | anyone knows how to remove a package when it's broken? | 03:06 |
| AirBender | well, it's more than broken I think | 03:07 |
| AirBender | the postinstalation process failed | 03:07 |
| thatguy | hi again | 03:07 |
| AirBender | and I can't remove it with synaptic/apt-get/dpkg in the normal way | 03:07 |
| thatguy | sound still a-failin | 03:07 |
| thiebaude | airbender:what about the purge command in the terminal? | 03:08 |
| AirBender | tried... | 03:08 |
| tsedreyt | sadly. | 03:08 |
| AirBender | Errors were encountered while processing: flex-old | 03:09 |
| AirBender | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 03:09 |
| AirBender | I've reported the bug, but want to gain time... | 03:09 |
| thiebaude | airbender:is the package in synaptic listed as installed? | 03:09 |
| tsedreyt | ...sometimes I don't get ubuntu | 03:09 |
| tsedreyt | david@david-laptop:/usr/bin$ Sound: Go! | 03:09 |
| tsedreyt | bash: Sound:: command not found | 03:09 |
| AirBender | nope, it listed as broken | 03:09 |
| thatguy | the googles haven't helped | 03:10 |
| thatguy | though i remember someone saying this as a bug earlier | 03:10 |
| AirBender | sorry, it's listed as installed | 03:10 |
| AirBender | mmm in fact I haven't googled it, because it showed up as a bug since the instalation | 03:11 |
| AirBender | when I installed the package, the postinst process crashed | 03:12 |
| tsedreyt | you know what's sad? now I do not own a windows computer and saved 150 dollars (buying vista) of parents money by putting gOS on their computer (and despite the fact I am a tight college budget) I find it perfectably acceptable to buy an ubuntu shirt. | 03:12 |
| xxploit | someone1 offhand know what the command/setting is that increases the fonts to look better, I used it a while back but cant remember what is was. This is some settings outside the font properties gui app. And it makes fonts look so great. | 03:12 |
| tsedreyt | appearance > fonts > sub pixel smoothing | 03:13 |
| chadeldridge | xxploit: cleartype ? | 03:13 |
| xxploit | nah | 03:13 |
| AaronMT | Anyone experience a problem where sometimes there is no usplash on boot? Other times there is.. | 03:13 |
| xxploit | it was some terminal command I used or some setting I piped into a file. | 03:13 |
| thiebaude | Airbender:hopefully that bug will be fixed soon | 03:14 |
| * Hobbsee updates ubuntu-restricted-extras and friends, to more clearly point out that libdvdcss2 is *not* included. | 03:14 | |
| === BaD-Laptop is now known as BaD_CrC | ||
| AirBender | Hope so... | 03:15 |
| chadeldridge | lol salt in the wound | 03:15 |
| chadeldridge | hobbsee: well i fixed sound, but none of the controls work (go to title menu or dvd menu) ... but at least it plays, looks like arse though interlaced lines if you stretch it to full scresn | 03:16 |
| chadeldridge | ill figure it out later though | 03:16 |
| Hobbsee | strange. | 03:16 |
| chadeldridge | /agreed | 03:17 |
| slestak_ | anyone using nm for pptp vpn succesfully? | 03:17 |
| chadeldridge | network-manager? yes | 03:18 |
| tsedreyt | okay lets make a deal, someone write my paper, and ill fix their ubuntu issue | 03:18 |
| AirBender | lol | 03:19 |
| slestak_ | i was struggling with "no valid secrets" error, but someone at launchpad answers helped me past that. now i am past that, and the same setup I used in gutsy fails | 03:19 |
| tsedreyt | or ever, one issue =one page. | 03:19 |
| chadeldridge | hobsee: do you know if it was a feature in 8.10 to make my wireless on/off indicator light flash with activity or its just a cool circumstance that it does it now ? | 03:21 |
| slestak_ | nm just says VPN connection failed. var/log/messages gives nothing relevant | 03:22 |
| Hobbsee | chadeldridge: it's intended, and tab completion is good | 03:22 |
| Hobbsee | chadeldridge: it was a regression in hardy for a whole lot of wifi cards. | 03:22 |
| slestak_ | chadeldridge: mine flashes steady now when its associated with wap. used to be steady before II | 03:22 |
| chadeldridge | Hobbsee: interesting ... | 03:22 |
| Hobbsee | slestak_: yeah, that's what I thought, too... | 03:23 |
| Hobbsee | slestak_: now the kernel people have decided it should flash with activitity, it seems. | 03:23 |
| Hobbsee | s/it// | 03:23 |
| chadeldridge | and sorry tab completion is good .. but broken left fingers right now .. hard to hit it :-D | 03:23 |
| chuxxsss | this crossover has problem with publisher | 03:23 |
| Hobbsee | oh dear :P | 03:23 |
| slestak_ | a littel distracting :) | 03:23 |
| tsedreyt | has anyone had success with a Gparted liveUSB? | 03:24 |
| EyesOfARaven | i installed ubuntu 8.1 to a flash drive using unetboot and it booted to busybox | 03:24 |
| EyesOfARaven | the desktop edition | 03:24 |
| tsedreyt | I've gotten ubuntu to work of a usb, just not gparted | 03:24 |
| EyesOfARaven | i wasnt answering your question | 03:25 |
| EyesOfARaven | i was asking for help | 03:25 |
| EyesOfARaven | lol | 03:25 |
| chadeldridge | what is the question ? | 03:25 |
| tsedreyt | oh, my bad. | 03:25 |
| EyesOfARaven | i am trying to install ubuntu 8.1 on my eee | 03:25 |
| EyesOfARaven | via usb | 03:25 |
| slestak_ | rebooting, got a new kernel installed. brb | 03:25 |
| EyesOfARaven | and it booted to a busybox | 03:25 |
| EyesOfARaven | with some errors | 03:25 |
| === chadeldridge is now known as afk | ||

| bigfox | Is there a way to make programs running under Wine print? | 03:27 |
| EyesOfARaven | print as in to paper? | 03:27 |
| bigfox | Yes | 03:27 |
| EyesOfARaven | it should wrap to your linux drivers | 03:27 |
| EyesOfARaven | assuming the printer works under linux | 03:27 |
| chadeldridge | bigfox yes it should by default | 03:27 |
| EyesOfARaven | ubuntu 8.1 desktop edition should have a desktop environment | 03:27 |
| EyesOfARaven | right..? | 03:27 |
| EyesOfARaven | o.O | 03:28 |
| bigfox | Hmm. the print dialog won't come up in Wine programs. Works fine in linux programs. | 03:28 |
| tsedreyt | not it's the feature | 03:28 |
| tsedreyt | (yes, it should) | 03:28 |
| tsedreyt | any change you had a faulty install to the usb? did you run the check after you booted it? | 03:28 |
| bigfox | I tried in Wine notepad and it tells me I must install a printer and retry. | 03:29 |
| EyesOfARaven | grub didn't even come from the ubuntu install to the usb | 03:29 |
| EyesOfARaven | it booted to my grub on the SSD | 03:29 |
| EyesOfARaven | and i modified the boot lines | 03:29 |
| EyesOfARaven | to boot to the usb | 03:29 |
| EyesOfARaven | ;o | 03:29 |
| saxonjf | I'm giving this one more try before just reinstalling the whole shebang. I have lost all ability to get any kind of sound. I have no drivers recognized, and volume control won't even give me sliders. It's just an error message. Is there anything I can do to fix this? | 03:30 |
| EyesOfARaven | do you have pulse-audio installed? | 03:31 |
| crimsun | saxonjf: fresh install or distribution upgrade? also, download http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh and run it. | 03:31 |
| U236Willy | anyone able to point me in the right direction for getting my nvidia geforce2 (old) card working right in kde4? | 03:32 |
| chadeldridge | bigfox: this may help: http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/misc-things-to-configure#AEN429 | 03:32 |
| saxonjf | fresh install. The issue came when I upgraded | 03:32 |
| admin_masu3701 | hello there... i have a sound problem..can anybody help me out | 03:32 |
| U236Willy | and ibex of course | 03:32 |
| chadeldridge | saxonjf i am pretty sure thats a known bug right now and its going to fix nothing to fresh install | 03:33 |
| chadeldridge | lots of people are having sound issues in ibex it seems | 03:33 |
| tsedreyt | (me included) | 03:34 |
| tsedreyt | at masu: did it just start when the RC came out? | 03:34 |
| crimsun | admin_masu3701: / tsedreyt: please describe your sound problem. | 03:34 |
| admin_masu3701 | no sound when i want to play youtube | 03:35 |
| chadeldridge | admin_masu3701: do you have any sound anywhere ? | 03:35 |
| EyesOfARaven | shot in the dark: try running ur app from a terminal that wont make sound with "padsp <your app>" | 03:36 |
| mneptok | admin_masu3701: open a terminal and type "killall pulseaudio" (no quotes) and then try YouTube again. | 03:36 |
| EyesOfARaven | because pulse-audio tends to phail :p | 03:37 |
| tsedreyt | okay question | 03:37 |
| bigfox | Maybe its because I am using the development version of wine from the winehq repo. | 03:37 |
| crimsun | well, before we blame pulseaudio, we need to know which arch s/he's using and whether s/he has flashplugin-nonfree and libasound2-plugins installed | 03:37 |
| tsedreyt | I goto sound prefecnes | 03:37 |
| bigfox | I will change to the one in the ubuntu repo. | 03:37 |
| mneptok | crimsun: gnash won;t even display YT videos, never mind deal with audio tracks for them | 03:38 |
| tsedreyt | and its on autodetect, I press the test button, and it says "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused" | 03:38 |
| saxonjf | tse, I have the same problem, but no sound at all | 03:39 |
| crimsun | mneptok: you may have more knowledge about admin_masu3701's issue; does s/he have gnash, adobe-flashplugin or flashplugin-nonfree installed? | 03:39 |
| tsedreyt | I've got no sound at all either | 03:39 |
| tsedreyt | saxon when did that start for you | 03:39 |
| saxonjf | right after I upgraded | 03:39 |
| tsedreyt | today? | 03:39 |
| mneptok | crimsun: i am assuming since the problem was described as non-functional audio that the video is viewable. that requires flashplugin-nonfree. | 03:39 |
| saxonjf | upgrade ---> no sound | 03:39 |
| crimsun | tsedreyt: ah, I bet you're hitting the pulseaudio/canberra-gtk-play race | 03:39 |
| saxonjf | this morning when I rebooted | 03:39 |
| slestak_ | chadeldridge: do you get warn[ctrlp_disp:pptp_ctrl.c:956]: Non-zero Async Control Character Maps are not supported! in daemon.log? | 03:39 |
| tsedreyt | saxon me too | 03:40 |
| crimsun | tsedreyt: try using pulseaudio -k;pulseaudio -D | 03:40 |
| tsedreyt | crimsum: ....what? | 03:40 |
| chadeldridge | slestak_: huh ? | 03:40 |
| saxonjf | would I need to put in sudo before that? | 03:40 |
| AaronMT | Anyone experience a problem where sometimes there is no usplash on boot? Other times there is.. | 03:40 |
| slestak_ | trying to debug my pptp failing to connect. you said yours was working | 03:40 |
| crimsun | tsedreyt: there's a known race condition during GNOME session login during which the pulseaudio daemon /appears/, for all intents and purposes, to start correctly but in fact does not. This results in the symptom you described. | 03:40 |
| tsedreyt | pastebin | david@david-laptop:/usr/bin$ pulseaudio -k;pulseaudio -D | 03:41 |

| thatguy | back to getting angry due to lack of sound | 03:41 |
| tsedreyt | thatguy: we have a lead! | 03:41 |
| tsedreyt | crimsum: any fix? | 03:41 |
| thatguy | okay | 03:41 |
| thatguy | i took the crimsun command | 03:41 |
| crimsun | tsedreyt: yes, a couple. One is disabling sound events. | 03:41 |
| chuxxsss | chadeldridge, crossover keep crashing publisher | 03:42 |
| tsedreyt | you mean the log in sounds? | 03:42 |
| saxonjf | When I tried that, it failed to kill daemon | 03:42 |
| crimsun | tsedreyt: all sound events, but sure, includes that | 03:42 |

| slestak_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/62313/ | 03:42 |
| chadeldridge | slestak_: i do not seem to have those errors sorry | 03:43 |
| slestak_ | ty for looking | 03:43 |
| crimsun | saxonjf: ok, and does `paplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' work audibly? | 03:44 |
| slestak_ | are you running 2.6.27-7? | 03:44 |
| thatguy | yes | 03:44 |
| tsedreyt | oh god, my inner newb is showing,....how do I do that? | 03:44 |
| admin_masu3701 | mneptok: it aint working | 03:44 |
| crimsun | tsedreyt: another method is to further alter the order in which pulseaudio is started during GNOME session login | 03:45 |
| crimsun | tsedreyt: do what? | 03:45 |
| mneptok | admin_masu3701: then PulseAudio is probably not the issue. how did you install Flash? | 03:45 |
| tsedreyt | okay how would I alter the order? | 03:46 |
| wgrant | Oh no, it's mneptok. | 03:46 |
| chuxxsss | chadeldridge, what a waste of money crossover is | 03:46 |
| crimsun | tsedreyt: well, the easiest method is simply to rename the file | 03:46 |
| tsedreyt | crimsum: I'd hate to have you walk me through all this, seeing as I am completely lost, is there a guide you could point me to? | 03:47 |
| admin_masu3701 | mnptok: oh yet...i was having flash problem for a while...i didnt know how to install it...but after it didnt ask me to download flash | 03:47 |
| chadeldridge | chuxxsss: i told you about 20 times that there was no diff between trial version and full, plus there is about 10000 pages of documentation on that site you ignored. There was no point in buying it if trial did not work | 03:48 |
| mneptok | admin_masu3701: in a terminal, "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" (no quotes) | 03:48 |
| crimsun | tsedreyt: sorry, no guide, but it's fairly straightforward: sudo mv /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio /etc/X11/Xsession.d/59pulseaudio | 03:48 |
| crimsun | tsedreyt: please log out of GNOME and back in to test. | 03:48 |
| thatguy | back | 03:49 |
| thatguy | where is the status of the sound problem | 03:49 |
| tsedreyt | crimsum: is that it> | 03:49 |
| thatguy | crimsun: i guess i shoudl follow what youa re saying to | 03:50 |
| crimsun | tsedreyt: sorry, what do you mean by "is that it"? | 03:50 |
| admin_masu3701 | mneptok: what is that command? | 03:50 |
| tsedreyt | crim: ill be back, ill tell you how it goes. | 03:50 |

| chrono13 | I just upgraded my family's computer to 8.10 which fixed some lingering issues in 8.04. On the first account that I logged into, I clicked OK (instead of Upgrade) to the logout menu. I want to change this, and upgrade the logoff menu to the new style and have all of the accounts be the same. How do I bring up that upgrade option again? | 03:52 |
| dick-richardson | system --> preferences --> removable drives and media isn't there anymore | 03:52 |

| tsedreyt | okay | 03:56 |

| thatguy | lback | 03:58 |
| freeksh0w86 | what does that mean then? | 03:58 |
| mneptok | freeksh0w86: take a look in your BIOS settings, too. if you can toggle different IDE modes, try different modes and see if they work. | 03:59 |

| crimsun | thatguy: ok, can you download http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh and run it? | 04:08 |
| thatguy | it'll probably say something like "partial upgrade available" on the day of the release and it will fix a few bugs | 04:08 |
| thatguy | also it is at rc now | 04:08 |
| saxonjf | All right, crimsun, do you think I'm a lost cause, or would a fresh reinstall help | 04:08 |
| tsedreyt | saxonjf | 04:08 |
| tsedreyt | did you try what he told me? | 04:08 |
| crimsun | saxonjf: when you run the alsa-info.sh script, does it return a long url? | 04:08 |
| crimsun | tsedreyt: saxonjf's issue is different | 04:08 |
| tsedreyt | okay | 04:08 |
| thatguy | crimsun: download it? i get the code | 04:08 |
| saxonjf | It doesn't run any url into a website at all... | 04:09 |
| thatguy | or is this some wget thing i'm not aware of | 04:09 |

| saxonjf | crimsun, I have audio in mp3 form | 04:44 |
| saxonjf | I am trying flash and youtube | 04:44 |
| crimsun | chowmeined: the best forum for your comments would be in said bug report | 04:44 |
| chowmeined | interesting | 04:45 |
| crimsun | chowmeined: namely, the Canonical-employed kernel team does not frequent this channel | 04:45 |
| chowmeined | oh, them | 04:45 |
| saxonjf | crimsun, it's looking good. Sounds good and I am up and running | 04:45 |
| chowmeined | speaking of the kernel | 04:45 |
| crimsun | saxonjf: great | 04:46 |
| chowmeined | why is libata so broken when driving PATA controllers (specifically intel ones).. didnt anybody notice the whole 4MB/s throughput? | 04:46 |
| saxonjf | cimsun, is there some place I can write a testimonial for you or something. I feel indebted. | 04:46 |
| chowmeined | not only is it broken now, but its been broken since edgy eft | 04:46 |
| crimsun | chowmeined: seriously, these are questions best posed to either the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list or the #ubuntu-kernel channel | 04:46 |
| chowmeined | crimsun, they dont listen | 04:46 |
| chowmeined | obviously | 04:46 |
| chowmeined | i just would like somebody to bash their face in for being retarded | 04:47 |
| saxonjf | Do you have an ubuntu wiki page where I can praise you or something? | 04:47 |
| crimsun | saxonjf: no need, just enjoy your 8.10 configuration | 04:47 |
| chowmeined | crimsun, to be fair, ive already been through the bug reports | 04:47 |
| saxonjf | crimsun, you went way above and beyond the call of duty, and I wish I could express some appreciation | 04:47 |
| chowmeined | crimsun, people report.. and the only responses are meta-messages from the bug tracking system | 04:47 |
| crimsun | chowmeined: have you considered purchasing a support contract? | 04:48 |
| chowmeined | crimsun, why would i do that? | 04:48 |
| chowmeined | im not spending money on something that cant even get ATA support right (though to be fair thats not ubuntu's fault but the buggy libata implementation in the linux kernel) | 04:49 |
| chowmeined | as usual, ill probably have to fix it myself | 04:49 |
| DanaG | crimsun: I meant package. | 04:49 |
| crimsun | chowmeined: I empathize with the frustration, but venting here is unlikely to accomplish anything for 8.10. | 04:50 |
| chowmeined | crimsun, im aware of this | 04:50 |
| sebsebseb | is KDE3 available for Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex from the rep, it does not seem to be available | 04:50 |
| chowmeined | its too late to really do anything anyways | 04:50 |

| saxonjf | thanks again | 04:50 |

| darthanubis | nekostar, where you get that script from? | 05:25 |
| darthanubis | :( | 05:25 |
| darthanubis | sorry | 05:25 |
| nekostar | darthanubis i got it from someone quite a while ago | 05:25 |
| EyesOfARaven | nekostar: is there not just a "redetect what driver ubuntu was using when it was installed" button | 05:26 |
| nekostar | i think it used to be in a package somewhere | 05:26 |
| nekostar | EyesOfARaven no there's not | 05:26 |
| EyesOfARaven | ;p | 05:26 |
| nekostar | you ran an installer script? | 05:26 |
| EyesOfARaven | yes | 05:26 |
| nekostar | ok gimme bit | 05:26 |
| nekostar | i'll grab the stuff and look | 05:26 |
| EyesOfARaven | thanks mate | 05:26 |
| nekostar | i'm modding my themes rite now | 05:26 |
| nekostar | which as we all know is crucial | 05:26 |
| nekostar | ;d | 05:27 |
| EyesOfARaven | my display resolution and direct rendering are a bit more crucial to me | 05:27 |
| EyesOfARaven | :p | 05:27 |
| nekostar | ok look | 05:27 |
| nekostar | EyesOfARaven | 05:27 |
| EyesOfARaven | yep? | 05:27 |
| nekostar | i'm thinking of punishing u | 05:27 |
| EyesOfARaven | whaifor | 05:27 |
| nekostar | clean_previous.sh sound familiar? | 05:27 |
| nekostar | ~____~ | 05:27 |
| EyesOfARaven | i saw that | 05:27 |
| EyesOfARaven | ;p | 05:27 |
| EyesOfARaven | that fix it? | 05:28 |
| EyesOfARaven | didnt wanna run it blindly | 05:28 |
| nekostar | thats the uninstaller! | 05:28 |
| EyesOfARaven | hehe | 05:28 |
| nekostar | open the file | 05:28 |
| nekostar | look inside | 05:28 |
| EyesOfARaven | why the hell didnt they name it uninstall | 05:28 |
| EyesOfARaven | rofl | 05:28 |
| nekostar | rm -i /etc/rc*.d/*eee*.sh rm -i /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-*eee* | 05:28 |
| nekostar | lol | 05:28 |
| nekostar | no clue | 05:28 |
| nekostar | but hey on the upside | 05:28 |
| nekostar | that'l prolly get all of it!! | 05:28 |
| EyesOfARaven | on the upside im not screwed | 05:28 |
| EyesOfARaven | :p | 05:28 |
| nekostar | then you just gotta delete the nvidia driver u got | 05:28 |
| EyesOfARaven | there is no nvidia driver | 05:28 |
| nekostar | and then run jockey-gtk etc | 05:28 |
| EyesOfARaven | what is jockey-gtk | 05:28 |
| EyesOfARaven | ;o | 05:28 |
| nekostar | or whatever else | 05:28 |
| nekostar | jockey-gtk is the actual app that pops up for restricted hardware drivers! | 05:29 |
| nekostar | i'm sure youll understand how happy i was to finally figure that out | 05:29 |
| nekostar | i had to fix Several hardy installs by hand!! | 05:29 |
| nekostar | anyway | 05:30 |
| darthanubis | nekostar, would you dcc me the script? | 05:30 |
| nekostar | oh yeah htats what i was doing | 05:30 |
| nekostar | lol | 05:30 |
| noaxi | as soon as the fsck completes the system freezes up unless a key is pressed (example CTRL ALT or any other key) | 05:31 |
| nekostar | noaxi eh? | 05:31 |
| nekostar | darthanubis accept ^^ | 05:31 |
| noaxi | from that moment on the system needs at least on key pressed to do anything at all.. | 05:32 |
| darthanubis | :) thx | 05:32 |
| nekostar | just put that in .xchat2 and your good to go next time u start it - there is also under _w_indows a script window where u can load it | 05:32 |
| nekostar | np | 05:32 |
| nekostar | ;> | 05:32 |
| nekostar | saves me the trouble of pastebin | 05:32 |
| nekostar | noaxi wth? | 05:32 |
| noaxi | I was thinking the same thing.. | 05:32 |
| nekostar | what's dmesg give u | 05:32 |
| noaxi | dmesg is frozen as well.. | 05:33 |
| nekostar | also check /var/logs/[sysinfo|messages] | 05:33 |
| nekostar | noaxi try booting with acpi=off noacpi apic=off noapic | 05:33 |
| noaxi | unless any key pressed then the system continues until key released | 05:33 |
| nekostar | sounds wierd but they solve a lOT of pROBLEMS | 05:33 |
| nekostar | :D | 05:33 |
| nekostar | hm | 05:34 |
| nekostar | ok lets get this right | 05:34 |
| nekostar | system hangs unless a key is being pressed actively? | 05:34 |
| nekostar | then it's fine? | 05:34 |
| noaxi | no soft is doing anything.. so no syslog nothing.. | 05:34 |
| noaxi | no error messages.. | 05:34 |
| nekostar | kb/mouse error likely | 05:34 |
| noaxi | no to try noacip.. | 05:34 |
| nekostar | ? | 05:34 |
| nekostar | ah | 05:34 |
| nekostar | btw | 05:35 |
| nekostar | when its working do a: tail -f /var/log/syslog | 05:35 |
| nekostar | then when it quits working and starts etc etc | 05:35 |
| nekostar | you should get some stdout | 05:35 |
| EyesOfARaven | that did not successfully remove it | 05:35 |
| EyesOfARaven | :p | 05:35 |
| EyesOfARaven | it just removed the driver, didnt fix any of the stuff | 05:35 |
| EyesOfARaven | lol | 05:35 |
| EyesOfARaven | im gonna reinstall, as much as that sucks.. | 05:35 |
| nekostar | EyesOfARaven what's broken? | 05:35 |
| EyesOfARaven | the video driver | 05:35 |
| nekostar | no need to reinstall ~_~ | 05:35 |
| nekostar | ok | 05:35 |
| nekostar | your in intrepid rite? | 05:35 |
| EyesOfARaven | yes | 05:35 |
| nekostar | kk one sec | 05:36 |
| nekostar | i'll give you something nasty | 05:36 |
| noaxi | btw I was running nosplash so any dmesg or any other messages should be visible as it is booting | 05:36 |
| EyesOfARaven | i couldnt find xorgtextcfg or xorgconfig | 05:36 |
| EyesOfARaven | or id've mucked with those | 05:36 |
| EyesOfARaven | i suppose u use x11 | 05:36 |
| EyesOfARaven | but i dunno shit about lowlevel configgin that | 05:36 |
| nekostar | HEY | 05:36 |
| nekostar | WHO BROKE APT! | 05:36 |
| nekostar | ~_~ | 05:36 |
| Tim183 | still no support for my ar5007eg on release candidate | 05:36 |
| EyesOfARaven | satan? | 05:36 |
| Tim183 | i thought ath5k was supposed to fix that | 05:37 |
| nekostar | E: Regex compilation error - Invalid preceding regular expression | 05:37 |
| EyesOfARaven | i reckon ur regex was invalid, nekostar | 05:37 |
| EyesOfARaven | :p | 05:37 |
| nekostar | ...... | 05:37 |
| EyesOfARaven | lol | 05:37 |
| noaxi | now It's showing normal behaviour.. | 05:38 |
| noaxi | as in it's not freezing.. | 05:38 |
| nekostar | ok now i'm getting there | 05:38 |
| nekostar | noaxi that might be something to do with it | 05:38 |
| noaxi | hmm 2.6.27 bug ? | 05:38 |
| nekostar | acpi? | 05:38 |
| nekostar | dunno | 05:38 |
| Tim183 | does anyone have any tips to help, ive tried every possible forum post and blog discussion for the last 3 months on hardy... i thought intrepid would be the fix, but it appears not | 05:38 |
| nekostar | you should make sure mobo bios updated and whatnot | 05:38 |
| nekostar | Tim183 ? | 05:39 |
| nekostar | oh | 05:39 |
| Tim183 | still no support for my ar5007eg on release candidate | 05:39 |
| noaxi | acpi was working with 8.04.1 | 05:39 |
| Tim183 | i thought ath5k was supposed to fix that | 05:39 |
| noaxi | ath5k is disabled .. | 05:39 |
| noaxi | 2.6.27.3 should fix ath5k | 05:40 |
| Tim183 | ah ok | 05:40 |
| noaxi | it also has a fix for usb polling wich which might have something to do with the strange freeze I have | 05:40 |
| Tim183 | how do I get that? | 05:40 |
| EyesOfARaven | is AR242x supposed to work? | 05:40 |
| EyesOfARaven | mine is detected but wont connect | 05:41 |
| EyesOfARaven | i can see my network | 05:41 |
| nekostar | hm | 05:41 |
| Tim183 | mine isnt even detected | 05:41 |
| nekostar | oh well | 05:41 |
| nekostar | reinstalling would be faster | 05:41 |
| nekostar | have at it | 05:41 |
| EyesOfARaven | it takes a long time | 05:41 |
| EyesOfARaven | actually, nekostar | 05:41 |
| EyesOfARaven | a good hour | 05:41 |
| EyesOfARaven | im on an eeepc | 05:41 |
| noaxi | ath5k is disabled in the current version | 05:41 |
| nekostar | well | 05:41 |
| EyesOfARaven | so if u can spare me the pain | 05:41 |
| EyesOfARaven | please by all means do | 05:41 |
| EyesOfARaven | :p | 05:41 |
| nekostar | sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia* xserver* | 05:42 |
| Tim183 | noaxi: so how should I approach this then? | 05:42 |
| nekostar | then sudo apt-get clean | 05:42 |
| nekostar | then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or whatever one's your fav | 05:42 |
| EyesOfARaven | nekostar: why do u keep referring to an nvidia driver | 05:42 |
| EyesOfARaven | :p | 05:42 |
| * nekostar shrugs | 05:42 | |
| Tim183 | I'm on release candiate at the moment, just running update manager at the moment | 05:42 |
| nekostar | nvidia or whatever else | 05:42 |
| EyesOfARaven | it is an intel driver | 05:42 |
| EyesOfARaven | :p | 05:42 |
| nekostar | intel? | 05:42 |
| nekostar | oh | 05:42 |
| EyesOfARaven | yes | 05:42 |
| EyesOfARaven | :p | 05:42 |
| noaxi | be patient or be bold and compile 2.6.27.3.......... be warned for ADVANCED users only.. | 05:42 |
| nekostar | what driver? | 05:42 |
| EyesOfARaven | the one that came with the scripts | 05:43 |
| EyesOfARaven | dude | 05:43 |
| EyesOfARaven | just tell me how to reconfig x | 05:43 |
| Tim183 | im not advanced | 05:43 |
| EyesOfARaven | cuz i hav no idea, and im sure that'll fix it | 05:43 |
| EyesOfARaven | i just am not familiar with lowlevel x11 | 05:43 |
| nekostar | oh | 05:43 |
| EyesOfARaven | only xorg | 05:43 |
| nekostar | dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 05:43 |
| nekostar | ^_6 | 05:43 |
| nekostar | at the end do medium | 05:43 |
| Tim183 | noaxi: when will it be fixed? | 05:43 |
| nekostar | frankly EyesOfARaven | 05:43 |
| nekostar | just nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:44 |
| nekostar | and edit the driver | 05:44 |
| nekostar | but that dpkg-reconfigure is nice too to get everything .. /me shrugs | 05:44 |
| EyesOfARaven | the problem is i dont know the original one | 05:44 |
| noaxi | it's fixed in the most recent kernel .. so I'd think whenever it's recompiled and added to repository | 05:44 |
| EyesOfARaven | or i'd just do that | 05:44 |
| Tim183 | noaxi: how long are we looking at? | 05:45 |
| Tim183 | im considering attempting to pull the laptop apart and switching the wireless card over to a compatible one | 05:45 |
| Tim183 | ive been trying to get this thing to work for 3 months now | 05:46 |
| noaxi | strangely enough ath5k is supposed to be included in kernel 2.6.27 so it should work.. | 05:48 |
| digdug | I'm unable to see an external hard drive, that I can see fine in vista (rebooted multiple times to each OS to make sure the drive wasn't being flaky) | 05:49 |
| digdug | I was able to see it in 8.04 as well | 05:49 |
| EyesOfARaven | lol my wifi works in 8.10 while two separate eee-specific distros failed | 05:49 |
| EyesOfARaven | :p | 05:49 |
| Tim183 | how do i check my current kernel? | 05:49 |
| EyesOfARaven | uname -a | 05:50 |
| thatguy | crimsun: thanks it works now | 05:50 |
| digdug | yeah, wifi seems to work well in ubuntu | 05:50 |
| EyesOfARaven | the other distros were ubuntu too | 05:50 |
| thatguy | flash is very slow for me | 05:50 |
| digdug | do they include out of the box broadcom support now, too? | 05:50 |
| EyesOfARaven | and packaged with drivers for my specific hardware | 05:50 |
| thatguy | but that's normal | 05:50 |
| EyesOfARaven | and they failed miserably, it makes me lol | 05:50 |
| Tim183 | 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Wed Oct 22 01:30:40 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 05:50 |
| EyesOfARaven | i cant change my damn resolution to what i need | 05:51 |
| EyesOfARaven | apparently drivers are fine now | 05:51 |
| EyesOfARaven | i added a line for the res in xorg | 05:51 |
| EyesOfARaven | but it didnt work | 05:51 |
| dr_willis | Hmm.. Just upgraded to 8.10 - and it broke networking both wired and wireless for me.. :) on my test laptop.. Bummer.. Trying a clean install now. | 05:51 |
| dr_willis | EyesOfARaven, lately ive seen a few people with X issues that just need a proper 'modes' line in the xorg.conf. | 05:52 |
| EyesOfARaven | i did that tho | 05:52 |
| EyesOfARaven | didnt help | 05:53 |
| Tim183 | noaxi: im on 2.6.27... so why no atheroos support? | 05:53 |
| dr_willis | EyesOfARaven, i got so annoyed at X one day. I just moved the xorg.conf to xorg.conf.why_dont_you_work and restarted X with no xorg.conf :) and it worked.... | 05:53 |
| dr_willis | Still not sure what hapened there. | 05:53 |
| EyesOfARaven | that's a good plan | 05:53 |
| EyesOfARaven | i find that works with many x issues with other files | 05:54 |
| EyesOfARaven | why not the conf | 05:54 |
| EyesOfARaven | i shall try it | 05:54 |
| dr_willis | I got archives of my old xorg.conf for my old machines/releases.. | 05:54 |
| dr_willis | some times i grab one of them. | 05:54 |
| EyesOfARaven | didnt work. | 05:55 |
| dr_willis | bummmer. | 05:55 |
| nekostar | darthanubis http://bayimg.com/MALneAabj :>> | 05:55 |
| noaxi | search in google for LP: #288148 | 05:56 |
| nekostar | EyesOfARaven | 05:56 |
| nekostar | you didnt do the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg??????!?! | 05:56 |
| EyesOfARaven | yes i did | 05:56 |
| EyesOfARaven | :p | 05:56 |
| nekostar | as punishment u also must click on my link for the pix of my desktop! | 05:56 |
| EyesOfARaven | that GAVE me the nearly blank file | 05:57 |
| EyesOfARaven | lol. | 05:57 |
| nekostar | you must have picked some funky options | 05:57 |
| EyesOfARaven | i mostly let it pick for itself | 05:57 |
| EyesOfARaven | :p | 05:57 |
| Tim183 | noaxi: yes I did | 05:57 |
| nekostar | ................. | 05:57 |
| Tim183 | what am i looking for? | 05:57 |
| * nekostar shakes head | 05:57 | |
| nekostar | ok thats it | 05:57 |
| nekostar | go look cauze my desktop's hawter than yours <.> | 05:57 |
| EyesOfARaven | i program my own shells | 05:57 |
| EyesOfARaven | :p | 05:57 |
| nekostar | and now i go to get properly plastered | 05:58 |
| EyesOfARaven | anyway im gonna reinstall ubuntu | 05:58 |
| EyesOfARaven | so i can just forget this ever happened | 05:58 |
| EyesOfARaven | :D | 05:58 |
| EyesOfARaven | ooo i know | 05:58 |
| EyesOfARaven | i can boot the live cd | 05:58 |
| EyesOfARaven | rather, usb | 05:58 |
| EyesOfARaven | and then copy it's xorg | 05:58 |
| EyesOfARaven | into mine | 05:58 |
| EyesOfARaven | :D | 05:58 |
| EyesOfARaven | old trick.. | 05:58 |
| noaxi | Tim183: investigate | 05:58 |
| Tim183 | ok, but I'm a newbie :) | 05:59 |
| nekostar | EyesOfARaven | 06:00 |
| nekostar | no need to boot it | 06:00 |
| nekostar | just go to terminal and pop that puppy in | 06:00 |
| nekostar | manually mount if u gotta | 06:00 |
| Tim183 | sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid | 06:00 |
| nekostar | just stop gdm while yer doing it so that when your done booom its working no installing | 06:00 |
| nekostar | but that wont work i bet | 06:00 |
| * dr_willis has missed the actual problem somehow... | 06:01 | |
| dr_willis | :) | 06:01 |
| Tim183 | will that command work? | 06:02 |
| noaxi | Tim183: sorry I got to go afk.. and eat some breakfast.. wont be back for some time.. | 06:03 |
| digdug | I can't get my external hard drive to show up in 8.10 | 06:06 |
| dr_willis | digdug, ive noticed an issue with exteranal vfat/ntfs thumbdrives also.. but ext2/3 worked.. | 06:07 |
| digdug | ah, it is ntfs | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | had a some error about wrong mount arguments. i recall | 06:07 |
| digdug | fdisk isn't even seeing mine | 06:08 |
| digdug | but lsusb does see the usb device | 06:08 |
| prometheanfire | I installed nvidia-glx-177 before installing xorg-core; I then tried to remove nvidia-glx-177 and cannot becaue apt is having issues, how do you reset apt? | 06:08 |
| dr_willis | I just mounted them manually from the command line.. You are running fdisk as root? | 06:08 |
| digdug | well, as su | 06:08 |
| digdug | sudo -s, I mean | 06:08 |
| dr_willis | if fdisk isent showing the devices.. then.. well. thats a deeper issue. | 06:10 |
| digdug | vista and 8.04 see it fine | 06:10 |
| dr_willis | check 'dmesg' output as ya plugin/remove the device.. | 06:10 |
| dr_willis | could its confused about it. | 06:10 |
| digdug | hmm, didn't even need to unplug it | 06:11 |
| digdug | lots and lots of lines about sdd | 06:11 |
| digdug | basically, this repeated over and over again: | 06:11 |
| digdug | [ 2459.363142] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] Add. Sense: No additional sense information | 06:11 |
| digdug | [ 2459.365132] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] Sense Key : No Sense [current] | 06:11 |
| prometheanfire | has anyone gotten a nvidia 9XXX series card working? | 06:13 |
| digdug | hmm, buffer i/o error on device sdd when I unplug it | 06:14 |
| dr_willis | digdug, Hmm.. to be 'safest' i would boot to windows and check the filesystem on that device.. and perhaps try a different usb port. | 06:14 |
| prometheanfire | I take that as a no | 06:15 |
| dr_willis | prometheanfire, from what i gather a lot can depend on the exact card. | 06:16 |
| dr_willis | I just have an 8800gtsxxx so no personal experience. | 06:16 |
| digdug | alright, thanks for the tips, be back later | 06:16 |
| FFForever | how can i search the ppa for python 2.6? | 06:16 |
| prometheanfire | hmmm, 64bit 8.04 supported the cards but I cannot get it working in 32bit 8.10 | 06:19 |
| dr_willis | sounds like driver/version/kernel issues. | 06:20 |
| dr_willis | 8.10 offered 2 different nvidia drivers in the restricted drivers config tool for my laptop.. perhaps you need tot ry the other driver? | 06:20 |
| prometheanfire | as far as I know only 177 supports the 9000 series cards | 06:21 |
| dr_willis | but wasent the older ubuntu not using 177? | 06:21 |
| dr_willis | I cant keep up with version #'s and the latest cards.. Im too poor. :) | 06:22 |
| prometheanfire | I think it was using nvidia-glx-new which was really an older version of 177 | 06:22 |
| noaxi | dr_willis: you mean your frugal enough to survice the curren crunch ;-) | 06:22 |
| noaxi | survive | 06:23 |
| dr_willis | noaxi, for now.. I work for Chrysler.. so we dont know whats going to happen. | 06:23 |
| prometheanfire | now I cannot remove the 177 driver to install xserver-xorg-core (xserver wants to overwrite a file that is provided by the 177 driver that is already installed) | 06:23 |
| noaxi | I am frual enough to survive any crunch.. | 06:23 |
| noaxi | *frugal | 06:24 |
| dr_willis | Living on Instanat Noodles - sucks. :) | 06:24 |
| prometheanfire | but it is effective | 06:24 |
| noaxi | instant noodles are expensive healthwise | 06:27 |
| noaxi | learn to cook.. | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | I dont use that salt package. :) i use them as a side dish with some steemed chicken brests | 06:28 |
| prometheanfire | spaghetti is good enough | 06:28 |
| noaxi | just as long as u use the rice noodle ( mihoen ) type | 06:30 |
| noaxi | wi:-) | 06:30 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | how do i make ubuntu remember my session so when i restart and login my old session opens | 06:31 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | ? any one | 06:32 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | hello? | 06:33 |
| noaxi | System->preferences->Sessions ^options | 06:34 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | dont have a session menu in that section | 06:34 |
| Tim183 | can anyone help me with my atheros card | 06:35 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | why is there no session menu in there | 06:37 |
| frybye | Hi - how to add gweather?? | 06:41 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | i still got no luck with this " Session^options " | 06:43 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | maybe someone can help me with the next step on my list how can i make my user acount have root permisson | 06:44 |
| dr_willis | sudo adduser billgates | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | :) | 06:45 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | thats a joke right | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | Oh wait.. you want to set up a user with root privilages.. | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | one alters the sudoers and groups for that.. but i forget how. | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | There was some GUI tool for it also. | 06:46 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | i have a user account but want to be able to edit a file in root but dont want to have to go out and login as root | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | |Cyb3rPunk|, if its the first initial user, you would use the sudo command. If that user does not have sudo rights. then you need to give them sudo rights. | 06:46 |
| frybye | dr_willis: looks like he dosent know about sudo etc.. or? | 06:47 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | how do i do that? | 06:47 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | kinda new to linux | 06:47 |
| dr_willis | <dr_willis> one alters the sudoers and groups for that.. but i forget how. | 06:47 |
| DanaG | sudo adduser username groupname | 06:47 |
| dr_willis | so you no longer have your initial user you made during install? | 06:47 |
| DanaG | admin group will give sudo priveliges. | 06:47 |
| dr_willis | ah admin group. :) thats it.. | 06:48 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | i have my inatial user acoutn i'm in it now | 06:48 |
| DanaG | er, misspelled 'privileges'. Yeah, I am obsessive-compulsive about my own spelling, but not about others'. | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | |Cyb3rPunk|, then you should be able to do a 'sudo nano /file/to/edit' and edit somthing as root | 06:48 |
| frybye | can sbdy tell me where the applets are in intrepid?? - I am trying to add the gweather applet but cant find it...? | 06:48 |
| DanaG | Try adding a location to the clock applet. | 06:49 |
| DanaG | Clock applet does weather. | 06:49 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | no easer way to do that so i can point and click :D | 06:49 |
| frybye | thanks DanaG | 06:49 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | like i said new | 06:49 |
| chowmeined | is it possible to continue t he boot process after getting dropped to initramfs shell? | 06:49 |
| chowmeined | i fixed the issue | 06:49 |
| DanaG | ctrl-d | 06:49 |
| dr_willis | Theres some user admin tools in the menus. | 06:49 |
| DanaG | exits shell. | 06:49 |
| chowmeined | thanks | 06:49 |
| DanaG | It works in other places, too -- ctrl-d gives EOF (End Of File). | 06:50 |
| chowmeined | er, it just says the same error again | 06:50 |
| jameswf | when i try to install a os X widget it silently fails.... | 06:50 |
| chowmeined | but the error is untrue | 06:50 |
| chowmeined | it says /dev/hda1 doesnt exist, except it does, and i just mounted it | 06:50 |
| DanaG | Odd. | 06:50 |
| chowmeined | busybox is a liar! | 06:50 |
| === BlinkyToon is now known as Don_Miguel | ||
| dr_willis | busybox is like a whole OS in one little app. :) its amazing what it can do. | 06:51 |
| esac | how do i modify x settings now that xorg.conf is gone ? I need to set nvidia option DPI 96x96 on my system | 06:52 |
| digdug | dr_willis: vista's scan disk found errors in the master file table on that drive, not sure if that fixed it or not, I still have to reboot again | 06:52 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | think i give up... | 06:53 |
| DanaG | Few displays are actually 96 DPI... many are 86 or 99 or something. | 06:53 |
| chowmeined | oh well, i guess ill just do it manually | 06:53 |
| dr_willis | |Cyb3rPunk|, whats the exact issue? Im missing somthing here.. or you are... | 06:53 |
| esac | DanaG, on 8.04 i set it to 96x96 and it looked just fine. whatever the default was, some objects were scaled the wrong size until i did so. | 06:53 |
| DanaG | !google javascript dpi calculator | 06:54 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:54 |
| dr_willis | sudo adduser username groupname, using the admin group as 'groupname' but your Original user is allready in the admin group | 06:54 |
| DanaG | You should set it to the actual DPI of the display. | 06:54 |
| DanaG | if the fonts are too big...... change the font size, not the DPI setting. | 06:54 |
| esac | ok but that still doesnt answer my question. how do i do so if xorg.conf is gone ? | 06:54 |
| DanaG | You can do that in the Gnome appearance properties: the fonts tab, "Details..." button. | 06:54 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | Well i want to edit the folder for amsn and have total admin rights. i also hate having to reopen and load my programs u every time i login so want them to open as sone as i login | 06:55 |
| dr_willis | edit the folder? in what way? one normally edits files, not folders.. Your initial user has 'sudo' rights. and can do root tasks with the sudo or gksudo commands. | 06:55 |
| predator3631 | was i suposed to uninstall wine before i installed cedaga? | 06:56 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | well want to add files and addon to the folder but don't know how to realy use termanal | 06:56 |
| dr_willis | as for the 2nd part.. the gnome sessions settings are some wherein the menus. I saw them yesterday.. but im not on gnome at the moment so cant tell you exactly where they are at. | 06:56 |
| dr_willis | |Cyb3rPunk|, i tend to cheat and isntall 'mc' and use 'sudo mc' so i have a terminalbased file manager i run as root. :) | 06:56 |
| dr_willis | it is worth while to learn the shell. | 06:57 |
| dr_willis | but mc is very very veyr very handy to have/learn also | 06:57 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | i'm thinking soo now | 06:57 |
| dr_willis | mc is a good comprimize :) | 06:57 |
| dr_willis | !info mc | 06:57 |
| ubottu | mc (source: mc): midnight commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 2:4.6.2~git20080311-2 (intrepid), package size 2085 kB, installed size 6256 kB | 06:57 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | is there a book or a somthing for dummies | 06:57 |
| dr_willis | Theres literally 1000;'s of linux bookx and books/sites on learning the shell | 06:57 |
| dr_willis | !shell | 06:58 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 06:58 |
| dr_willis | most 'dummies' books seemto focus on just walking you through/exploring the GUI.. YOu can do that without a book | 06:58 |
| dr_willis | launch every settings app and look at the options | 06:58 |
| legend2440 | |Cyb3rPunk|: open system>preferences>startup programs and enter programs you want to start at login. at least thats how it is in hardy. i don't have intrepid installed right now | 06:59 |
| esac | where do i make changes to x settings now that xorg.conf is gone ? | 06:59 |
| legend2440 | |Cyb3rPunk|: sorry i mean open system>preferences>sessions>startup programs and enter programs you want to start at login. at least thats how it is in hardy. i don't have intrepid installed right now | 07:00 |
| dr_willis | |Cyb3rPunk|, theres also a setting/check box somewhere to auto save sessions so when you logout - it will rember/restart any apps you had open. but that can cause.. issues at times.. | 07:00 |
| |Cyb3rPunk| | ok ...will look into that tomarrow... need to get some zZz... big day tomarrow thanks all for the help (again i dont seem to have this Sesionpart in my menu) | 07:00 |
| predator3631 | n/ i got cedega working | 07:00 |
| dr_willis | system -> preferances -> sessions | 07:01 |
| dr_willis | My preferances menu scrolls off the bottom of the screen... :) | 07:01 |
| dr_willis | Options tab | 07:01 |
| dr_willis | too late... | 07:02 |
| dr_willis | His loss. :) | 07:02 |
| legend2440 | dr_willis: yes either that or he might have to enable the Sessions entry in his menu | 07:03 |
| dr_willis | Install linux, thens spend all day.. getting Cedega/wine working.. instead of learning linux... what am i missing In this picture. heh | 07:03 |
| dr_willis | Im just glad that wireless and hibernate started working on my laptop under 8.10 | 07:04 |
| jameswf | that reminds me install winr | 07:04 |

| dr_willis | got burnt out on Wesnoth | 07:05 |
| dr_willis | well i installed that mag tool using the pet i made.. but cant find the .pet now. :) | 07:09 |
| DanaG | Pet? | 07:11 |
| DanaG | What? | 07:11 |
| dr_willis | my #puppylinux chat got in the wrong channel.. bad dog. | 07:14 |
| dr_willis | :) | 07:14 |
| dr_willis | Puppy uses .pet packages.. similer to slackware | 07:15 |
| digdug | dang it, didn't work, drive still isn't visible | 07:18 |
| digdug | I even unplugged my card reader which was showing up as /dev/sdc, then plugged in my external drive into that usb port | 07:18 |
| digdug | it does have an ntfs filesystem, but even if that were the problem, wouldn't the drive at the very least show up (/dev/sdd, but not /dev/sdd1)? | 07:21 |
| dr_willis | IYea.. sounds like there might be some quirky hardware/kernel/driver issue going on | 07:21 |
| dr_willis | It does work with ubuntu live cds ? | 07:22 |
| aurachron | ntfs should work fine | 07:22 |
| digdug | someone earlier mentioned they were having trouble with ntfs on external drives | 07:22 |
| digdug | I also have an internal drive on /dev/sda1 that's ntfs that mounts fine | 07:22 |
| aurachron | i personally use fat32 with externals, but now that linux has decent ntfs support i don't have to worry | 07:22 |
| dr_willis | I have issues with Gnome auto-mounting ntfs/vfat exteranl drives.. but thats not the same issue as you are having. | 07:23 |
| dr_willis | if sudo fdisk -l, isent even showing the disk.. theres a deeper issue | 07:23 |
| digdug | oh, gotcha; yeah, my internal disk doesn't auto-mount on boot, but gnome-mount still mounts it fine when I click on Places -> sunny | 07:23 |
| digdug | agreed, but I still can't figure out if it's my issue or not | 07:24 |
| dr_willis | digdug, my ntfs/vfat dont wheni do that. I gotta manually mount them.. but that maybe fixed in the recent updates | 07:24 |
| digdug | all 3 of my hard drives are pata; the external one is in an enclosure that goes from pata to usb, of course | 07:26 |
| digdug | I just plugged my card reader into the usb hub on the hard disk enclosure, and my 2gb sd card came up fine | 07:27 |
| dr_willis | digdug, Hmm.. this was a sd card on a laptops Internal card reader - you had issues with? | 07:28 |
| digdug | no | 07:28 |
| dr_willis | or am i getting confused now. :) | 07:28 |
| digdug | sd card was always working | 07:28 |
| dr_willis | i had issues in the past with laptop 'built' in readers - | 07:28 |
| digdug | but I plugged it in through the usb hub of the hard disk enclosure of the hard disk that isn't working | 07:29 |
| digdug | desktop | 07:29 |
| digdug | my laptop's video card got fried last christmas | 07:29 |
| digdug | like 41 days out of warranty | 07:30 |
| darthanubis | what temps are you guys chip running at? | 07:30 |
| darthanubis | (s) | 07:30 |
| digdug | what's a good utility to check that? | 07:31 |
| darthanubis | I use lmsensors via gkerllm | 07:31 |
| darthanubis | gkrellm | 07:31 |
| digdug | gkrellm any better these days; I used that years ago, but it was so ugly I stoped | 07:31 |
| digdug | stopped* | 07:31 |
| darthanubis | lm-sensors | 07:31 |
| darthanubis | I use it with the invisible glass | 07:32 |
| darthanubis | or just called "invisible" theme | 07:32 |
| darthanubis | all I see are stats on my desktop | 07:32 |
| darthanubis | lmsensors seesm to correctly gauged my temps | 07:32 |
| darthanubis | hardy reported a few degrees cooler | 07:33 |
| digdug | I really like the window themes for 8.10; is the darkroom theme brand new? | 07:33 |
| darthanubis | I don't know | 07:33 |
| darthanubis | I use the ubuntustudio theme for dark | 07:34 |
| wgrant | digdug: It is new, and was the default for some of the early alphas. | 07:34 |
| esac | hi all, just installed intrepid today. i cant seem to get libpcsclite1 to install. any ideas ? | 07:34 |
| digdug | it's very nice; I picked that, but then modified the colors a bit so the window was more grey with a touch of blue, and the scrollbars are blue | 07:35 |
| digdug | I don't like how I either have to disable effects to use workspaces, or if I turn on the "rotate cube" option in compiz, that it "flips" to the 2nd workspace instead of slides like it did before | 07:38 |
| sigmabetatooth | could anyone with an atheros card offer some tech support | 07:39 |
| digdug | go ahead and ask your question, not sure I can help, but someone else might be able to | 07:40 |
| sigmabetatooth | well i've been running ibex now pretty much since the initial beta was released | 07:41 |
| sigmabetatooth | before ibex i had been using madwifi to support my atheros ar242 | 07:42 |
| sigmabetatooth | but ibex WAS taking care of it for me | 07:42 |
| dr_willis | I find the rotate cube thing is only good for impressing windows users. :) | 07:42 |
| sigmabetatooth | one upgrade about 2 or 3 week back to the wifi down for about 2 or 3 days until there was a patch put in | 07:42 |
| redwhitewaldo | what's this thing about debian-med? | 07:43 |
| redwhitewaldo | do i need it if I'm not a med student / pro? | 07:43 |
| sigmabetatooth | i took another upgrade today and the wifi went bye bye again | 07:43 |
| sigmabetatooth | any thoughts??? | 07:44 |
| digdug | yeah, and I don't really like the rotate cube thing, I preferred it when it would slide to the next workspace, but I don't know where to set that | 07:44 |
| dr_willis | Hmm.. one of the 100000 compiz settings. :) | 07:44 |
| digdug | hmm, I had my wifi go out on a partial upgrade as well, but a reboot fixed that | 07:44 |
| digdug | atheros card as well | 07:44 |
| dr_willis | disable cube and see what it does do perhaps? | 07:44 |
| ArkoldThos | anyone with intel problems? | 07:45 |
| sigmabetatooth | i've rebooted a number of times to no avail | 07:45 |
| sigmabetatooth | the strange thing is when i look at the hardware drivers it shows the atheros driver with the grey "this dirver is not activated" icon | 07:45 |
| ArkoldThos | haha, intrepid just make my wifi works ;) | 07:45 |
| dr_willis | Intrepid upgrade killed my wireless and wired. :) | 07:46 |
| sigmabetatooth | i hit the green activate and... | 07:46 |
| dr_willis | oops... | 07:46 |
| dr_willis | On my other laptop - wireless worked on it fine. :) | 07:46 |
| sigmabetatooth | "this driver was just disabled, but is still in use" | 07:46 |
| ArkoldThos | intrepid broke 3d acceleration, damn <.< | 07:47 |
| esac | i notice from apt-get packages that have {a} after them now. any idea what that means | 07:47 |
| sigmabetatooth | doesn't make since considering it was saying it wasn't activated | 07:47 |
| digdug | disabling the cube just makes it impossible to get to workspace 2; disabling rotate cube, makes me click on the workspaces launcher on my panel to switch | 07:48 |
| digdug | just nice to be able to hit ctrl+alt+arrow key to move back and forth | 07:48 |
| === sigmabetatooth is now known as SBTooth | ||
| SBTooth | No extra wireless thoughts beside way a few days till the next upgrade? | 07:49 |
| dr_willis | my laptop has some issues with the ctrl-arrow keys to the left it often goes 2+ spaces.. been that way for the last 2 ubuntu releases in compiz | 07:50 |
| SBTooth | suggestions for other rooms that might have some help | 07:51 |
| ArkoldThos | nobody have problems using intel graphics? | 07:52 |
| ArkoldThos | going to sleep | 07:56 |
| ArkoldThos | im tired | 07:56 |

| pen | hi | 07:59 |
| pen | I installed RC | 07:59 |
| pen | but I can't add custom fonts to .fonts | 07:59 |
| pen | I can't open ttf files | 07:59 |
| pen | why? | 07:59 |
| dr_willis | hmm.. I normally just copy them to .fonts and away i go.. | 08:00 |
| dr_willis | You might need to logout/in perhaps? | 08:00 |
| SBTooth | what's the command to see what version you are in | 08:00 |
| === predator3631 is now known as predator363 | ||
| pen | hm | 08:00 |
| pen | dr_willis: maybe | 08:00 |
| pen | let me try | 08:01 |
| redwhitewaldo | hi. i'm in the middle of upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10. Should I "Replace the customized configuration file /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf"?. pastebin is at http://pastebin.com/m224d3db | 08:05 |
| redwhitewaldo | thank you. | 08:05 |
| dr_willis | have you customized that config yourself? if so you may want to keep the original.. or if it was some trival change you did.. use the new. and reapply your changes | 08:06 |
| redwhitewaldo | i don't know/remember if i customized the file myself. 8-( | 08:06 |
| dr_willis | are you evenusing the dhcp server? | 08:06 |
| dr_willis | Keep the original then I guess. | 08:06 |
| redwhitewaldo | dr_willis: how do i know if i'm using dhcp server? | 08:07 |
| redwhitewaldo | i'm a newbie | 08:07 |
| redwhitewaldo | point-and-click newbie | 08:07 |
| dr_willis | If you dont know.. I imagine you are not using it | 08:07 |
| dr_willis | You got a lan? you got a router? | 08:07 |
| redwhitewaldo | dr_willis: we have a wireless router. | 08:08 |
| redwhitewaldo | dr_willis: how can i tell if we have a lan? | 08:08 |
| dr_willis | Its most likely working as a dhcp server also then | 08:08 |
| dr_willis | lan = 1 or more machines networked... | 08:08 |
| redwhitewaldo | dr_willis: i'm on wired, roommate is on wireless. | 08:08 |
| dr_willis | I imagine the router is working as a dhcp server then. | 08:08 |
| redwhitewaldo | how can we confirm whether it is in fact so? | 08:09 |
| redwhitewaldo | and what happens if i do NOT keep dhcp file? | 08:09 |
| dr_willis | turn off both machines.. power up the other.. see if it gets an ip. | 08:09 |
| redwhitewaldo | which other? | 08:09 |
| redwhitewaldo | what other? | 08:09 |
| dr_willis | I imagine it backs up any configs you changed | 08:09 |
| dr_willis | if you machine is working as a dhcp server.. and its off.. then its not going to be used.. | 08:09 |
| dr_willis | I very much doubt if your machine IS being used as a dhcp server. | 08:10 |
| redwhitewaldo | and if my machine is NOT being used as a dhcp server, what are the implications ("so what"?) | 08:10 |
| dr_willis | if its not being used.. then it dosent matter much. | 08:10 |
| dr_willis | dhcp gives out ip#'s to other machines on the lan. the router is doing the same job. | 08:11 |
| redwhitewaldo | the only thing that looks familiar to me from the dhcp file is line 22 ( -prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220;) that's the opendns servers. | 08:11 |
| DigitalFiz | so what happens to this channel in 6 days? | 08:11 |
| redwhitewaldo | so should i choose "replace"? | 08:11 |
| dr_willis | DigitalFiz, it normally closes down for a week or 2, till the next release gets started up | 08:11 |
| DigitalFiz | ah | 08:11 |
| DigitalFiz | i just updated to the RC | 08:12 |
| dr_willis | redwhitewaldo, looks like a DNS setting.. so it proberly wont matter. | 08:12 |
| DigitalFiz | running great | 08:12 |
| pen | dr_willis: no use | 08:12 |
| redwhitewaldo | so should i choose Replace or Keep? | 08:12 |
| pen | still can't open font files | 08:12 |
| dr_willis | pen, :) i can barely rember my name. what was the issue.. oh fonts.. :) | 08:12 |
| dr_willis | pen, installing 8.10 on a laptop next to me.. i will check there... | 08:13 |
| pen | yes | 08:13 |
| pen | oh | 08:13 |
| pen | did you just install 8.10? | 08:13 |
| pen | meh | 08:13 |
| dr_willis | on one machine yes. :) | 08:13 |
| dr_willis | its rebooting now.. I goofed up and installed the server ed. on it earlier today.. doh... had to reinstall desktop ed | 08:13 |
| Jordan_U | ath5k breaking after the release of the release candidate along with not being able to update openjdk is a bit worrisome | 08:13 |
| pen | hm | 08:14 |
| pen | this is not normal | 08:15 |
| pen | because in 8.04 | 08:15 |
| pen | I can view font files | 08:16 |
| pen | hi | 08:25 |
| redwhitewaldo | i've just upgraded. where's the default wallpaper? | 08:34 |
| dr_willis | I just copied some ttf fonts to my .fonts directory and gnome-terminal saw them fine | 08:34 |
| pen | dr_willis: hm | 08:35 |
| pen | dr_willis: gnome-terminal? I mean open them by double-clicking them | 08:35 |
| dr_willis | why would you want to do that? :) i know what they look like. | 08:35 |
| pen | dr_willis: because I can't | 08:36 |
| pen | dr_willis: I want to know if you can | 08:36 |
| dr_willis | now i got to walk across the room.. heh heh.. oh wait.. i can vnc in.. savce me taking 3 steps! | 08:36 |
| pen | heh | 08:36 |
| pen | you lazy bone | 08:36 |
| pen | whatever | 08:37 |
| redwhitewaldo | i've just upgraded. where's the default wallpaper? | 08:38 |
| dr_willis | it loads the font viwwer app.. but that app does not appear to work. | 08:38 |
| pen | dr_willis: so you have the same problem | 08:39 |
| pen | dr_willis: because I can't use my custom fonts now | 08:39 |
| dr_willis | I can USE custome fonts.. that font previewer app seems broken | 08:39 |
| pen | everything under .fonts doesn't show up in appearance | 08:39 |
| pen | wait | 08:39 |
| pen | you are right | 08:39 |
| pen | only the app is broken | 08:40 |
| pen | I can use my fonts too | 08:40 |
| dr_willis | i am testing this onmy Virytualbox install.. its not totally updated | 08:40 |
| dr_willis | Oh wait - im on my vnc/laptop :) not vbox.. its using RC | 08:41 |

| pen | I changed my font and my firefox crashed | 08:47 |
| pen | lol | 08:47 |
| pen | dr_willis: you there? | 08:47 |
| pen | did you say something to me before I was cut off? | 08:47 |
| digdug | the best I can find is that the feature I'm looking for is desktop wall instead of rotate cube | 08:49 |
| digdug | any idea where I can find that setting? | 08:50 |
| pen | digdug: I thought desktop wall is the default? | 08:50 |
| digdug | it is, but it disappeared on me | 08:50 |
| dr_willis | hmm | 08:51 |
| digdug | and the only option I can find when I installed compizconfig-settings-manager is rotate cube | 08:51 |
| pen | dr_willis: did you find the solution to that font view problem? | 08:51 |
| dr_willis | not that i noticed. :) i got parts/joins/quits hidden.. | 08:51 |
| pen | digdug: strange | 08:51 |
| dr_willis | I dont recall ever really wanting to view them. I imagine that app is just broken. theres other font viewer apps out. | 08:51 |
| dr_willis | :) | 08:51 |
| dr_willis | I was thinking at one time i got font previews in the gnome file manager.. | 08:51 |
| pen | dr_willis: but it is nicer to open fonts file and have a general preview | 08:52 |
| dr_willis | but that may been in kde | 08:52 |
| digdug | I really prefer desktop wall, I hate the flipping animation, and I have no practical use for more than 2 workspaces | 08:52 |
| pen | also | 08:52 |
| pen | I'm using gnome-do | 08:52 |
| pen | the newest version | 08:52 |
| pen | I can't open home folder directly | 08:52 |
| pen | weird | 08:52 |
| pen | but I can open other folders | 08:52 |
| pen | digdug: can you try to reset to default? | 08:52 |
| pen | digdug: in preference | 08:53 |
| digdug | that disables switching workspaces entirely | 08:54 |
| dr_willis | i tend to just disable compiz totally | 08:54 |
| pen | digdug: the default disable compiz? | 08:55 |
| pen | digdug: I mean the default settings | 08:55 |
| digdug | yeah, I opened compizconfig settings manager, clicked on the preferences button, then clicked on restore default settings | 08:55 |
| digdug | or reset to defaults* | 08:55 |
| pen | digdug: try reinstall compiz | 08:56 |
| pen | digdug: and delete any .compiz file or configuration in your home folder | 08:56 |
| pen | brb | 08:56 |
| ralpho | not me i have emerald stuff i like bummed it only have works in kde4 | 08:56 |
| ralpho | guess some new themes will come alomg i will like | 08:57 |
| pen | back | 08:58 |
| pen | does it work? | 08:58 |
| dr_willis | I noticed the emerald theme repo-thing-tool is no longer there. :) | 08:58 |
| dr_willis | But its fairly easy to make your own | 08:58 |
| ilovegnulinux | can i upgrade hardy with intrepid rc cd? | 08:58 |
| Jordan_U | ilovegnulinux: If it's the alternate install CD | 08:59 |
| dr_willis | i was thinking the alternative cd can.. but you may want to wait a few days.. till everything gets finalized.. | 08:59 |
| ilovegnulinux | :) thanks | 08:59 |
| dr_willis | oterwise you may download the cd.. upgrade.. then discover you got another 200+mb of updates/upgrades | 08:59 |
| ilovegnulinux | k | 09:00 |
| Jordan_U | So I assume by the fact that there are still many updates that there will be another rc ? | 09:00 |
| dr_willis | i belive the last release had 2.. but the release schedule would be the place to look | 09:01 |
| dr_willis | !release | 09:01 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 09:01 |
| dr_willis | hmm.. not the url i was looking for.. | 09:01 |
| dr_willis | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule | 09:01 |
| Jordan_U | dr_willis: If you schedule ahead of time that you will have a second rc then the first isn't really a release candidate is it :) | 09:02 |
| dr_willis | I think last time they had some big issues... | 09:02 |
| dr_willis | Looks like thers only one RC scheduled | 09:02 |
| dr_willis | i always find the 'artwork deadline, and artwork deadline2, and final artwork deadline' to be amuseing... | 09:03 |
| Jordan_U | dr_willis: I don't think that's updated, I think it's just the schedule as was planned however many months ago | 09:03 |
| dr_willis | its artwork.... :) id rather see focus on stuff then the wallpaper. | 09:03 |
| digdug | I fixed it without reinstalling compiz; when I opened synaptic and searched for compiz, I noticed a package titled compiz-fusion-plugins-main that wasn't installed | 09:03 |
| digdug | I installed that, and desktop wall showed up in the compizconfig settings manager | 09:04 |
| dr_willis | Jordan_U, yep - you maybe right. | 09:04 |
| ilovegnulinux | does intrepid use empathy instead of pidgin? | 09:04 |
| digdug | funny thing is I never uninstalled it; I wonder if it got removed from "apt-get autoremove" | 09:04 |
| dr_willis | I dont see any empathy ilovegnulinux in the menus | 09:04 |
| kulight | empathy is in the repos | 09:05 |
| pen | is it better than pidgin? | 09:05 |
| dr_willis | So i guess the answer to ilovegnulinux is 'no' it does not. :) | 09:05 |
| kulight | but pidgin is better | 09:05 |
| pen | btw, is there any gui irc client other than xchat? | 09:06 |
| digdug | I'm using pidgin now; like it a lot | 09:06 |
| Jordan_U | ilovegnulinux: empathy isn't even in main | 09:06 |
| dr_willis | I hate pidgin for IRC. | 09:06 |
| dr_willis | !info empathy | 09:06 |
| ubottu | empathy (source: empathy): High-level library and user-interface for Telepathy. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.24.1-1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 262 kB, installed size 732 kB | 09:06 |
| ilovegnulinux | :) anyone tried empathy? read about it in gnome 2.24 page | 09:06 |
| dr_willis | Telepathy - is some sort of remote admin tool ibelive | 09:06 |
| pen | it looks almost like pidgin | 09:06 |
| digdug | set up pidgin to keep your IRC windows separate from msn, icq, etc. and it works really well | 09:06 |
| dr_willis | !info Telepathy | 09:06 |
| ubottu | Package telepathy does not exist in intrepid | 09:06 |
| dr_willis | I will stick with xchat for IRC. | 09:06 |
| digdug | I just prefer to have one IM/IRC client installed and running at a time | 09:06 |
| pen | digdug: hm | 09:07 |
| dr_willis | I dont run any other IM clients. :) | 09:07 |
| pen | so | 09:07 |
| pen | xchat is the only standalone client ? | 09:07 |
| prometheanfire | irssi | 09:07 |
| Acky | Hey!# | 09:07 |
| prometheanfire | yo | 09:07 |
| pen | well, I said gui | 09:07 |
| pen | of course I know irssi | 09:07 |
| Jordan_U | dr_willis: There is IM outside of IRC !? | 09:07 |
| Acky | I'm trying to setup ICS from Vista to 8.10 aand just need to know the settings basically | 09:07 |
| Acky | anyone care to lend a hand? | 09:08 |
| prometheanfire | vista makes me cry myself to sleep | 09:08 |
| Acky | its basically so i can fiddle about and try to get my wireless card working on ubuntu | 09:08 |
| Acky | prometheanfire, i've set it up[ on vista just need the IP settings for both | 09:08 |
| pen | prometheanfire: both has it's own strength and weaknesses | 09:08 |
| scopecreep | i deleted the vista partition last night... i feel stangely empowered | 09:09 |
| prometheanfire | ya, it still makes me cry myself to sleep | 09:09 |
| pen | prometheanfire: I like vista with more gaming and some other device support | 09:09 |
| digdug | I would delete vista, but I have this addiction to warcraft, and ventrilo doesn't work in linux; guild requirement | 09:09 |
| dr_willis | Jordan_U, or so i hear.. but last i was in a Yahoo Linux room.. i couldent understand the Leet Speek | 09:09 |
| digdug | warcraft, on the other hand, works perfect in wine | 09:09 |
| pen | digdug: you sure? one of my friends using ventrilo I think.. | 09:09 |
| prometheanfire | I run windows in a vm for ventrillo | 09:10 |
| Acky | ventrilo works in linux under WINE just fine | 09:10 |
| scopecreep | teamspeak has linux binaries i believe | 09:10 |
| Acky | as i have my own server | 09:10 |
| digdug | well, ventrilo is a little weird in wine | 09:10 |
| dr_willis | at one time ventrillo did not work with wine... but i dont keep up with it. | 09:10 |
| dr_willis | :) | 09:10 |
| dr_willis | and teamspeak has linux native binaries.. yes | 09:10 |
| digdug | you can listen, but to talk, the window has to be in focus | 09:10 |
| scopecreep | im too busy dotting people to talk too much. skillcoil. gg. | 09:11 |
| scopecreep | ahem sorry | 09:11 |
| dr_willis | I get burnt out on MMORPG's too easially... | 09:11 |
| pen | do you guys know why my front speaker will also sound if I plug my headphone in before X starts? | 09:11 |
| prometheanfire | nope | 09:12 |
| digdug | a version of ubuntu from 2007 did that to me, even after x started, but no idea why | 09:12 |
| pen | it's annoying | 09:12 |
| pen | I can't tell most of the time | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | I would have to guess its a alsa/pulse issue. | 09:13 |
| pen | and people would complain about my music being too loud :) | 09:13 |
| pen | maybe | 09:13 |
| digdug | I had to manually go in and disable/enable which speakers I wanted to use at the time | 09:13 |
| pen | or hotplug issue? | 09:13 |
| dr_willis | gotta have the heaphones in BEFOR X starts.. or ya get sound of headphones and front speakers eh? | 09:13 |
| pen | no | 09:13 |
| digdug | works perfect for me now with 8.10 | 09:13 |
| pen | quite the opposite | 09:13 |
| pen | if I have my headphone before X starts | 09:13 |
| pen | digdug: you mean autodetection? | 09:14 |
| digdug | yeah, it will autodetect when I plug my headphones in | 09:14 |
| digdug | and I'm pretty sure I can leave them plugged in through a reboot and not have a problem | 09:14 |
| digdug | though, thinking about it, I'm not sure I've actually tried that; I normally don't leave them plugged in unless I'm playing | 09:15 |
| pen | digdug: how about plug in before X starts? | 09:15 |
| digdug | that's what I mean, I'm not sure I've tried that | 09:15 |
| pen | digdug: you can try later | 09:16 |
| digdug | brb | 09:16 |
| pen | digdug: k | 09:16 |
| pen | btw, 8.10 flash-nonfree supports 64biit !!! | 09:16 |
| pen | cool | 09:16 |
| scopecreep | yep, flash was the nail in vistas coffin for me | 09:16 |
| Jordan_U | pen: Didn't it in hardy as well? | 09:16 |
| pen | I don't know | 09:16 |
| pen | this is my first time in 64 bit | 09:17 |
| pen | but | 09:17 |
| pen | I remember | 09:17 |
| scopecreep | didnt for me "easily" in hardy | 09:17 |
| pen | people always complain about installing flash in 64 bit | 09:17 |
| pen | yea | 09:17 |
| pen | that's what I'm saying | 09:17 |
| pen | adobe didn't release 64 bit version of flash | 09:17 |
| petererer | it worked for me | 09:17 |
| kulight | no they didnt | 09:17 |
| Jordan_U | scopecreep: I could've sworn that in hardy it would setup nspluginwrapper automatically if you installed via the package manager | 09:17 |
| pen | kulight: what do you mean? | 09:18 |
| scopecreep | Jordan_U, It very well might have, but it together with no network port made hardy a pain for me, so i kinda skipped it | 09:18 |
| prometheanfire | anyone know why when I load X my screen blanks out (I can still control stuff but not see anything, even when pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1-6) | 09:18 |
| kulight | pen: adobe did no release 64bit version ( i thought u asked ) | 09:19 |
| digdug | yeah, sound played in just the headphones | 09:19 |
| Jordan_U | I'm just amazed at how stable flash 10 final is. I have only encountered one site that it doesn't work with ( no crashes so far ) and it turns out that sight doesn't work with flash 10 on windows either, is it possible the linux version of flash has reached bug parody with windows ;) | 09:19 |
| pen | kulight: yes I know | 09:19 |
| scopecreep | so if i have a directory on another linux box i want to share to my network (all linux) should i use samba or nfs? | 09:19 |
| pen | digdug: hm, maybe the new Xorg fixed that too | 09:19 |
| prometheanfire | it is with the nvidia driver | 09:19 |
| Jordan_U | prometheanfire: Before or after logging in at the GDM? | 09:20 |
| kulight | but the flash 64bir takes allot of cpu power | 09:20 |
| pen | prometheanfire: load X? are you in ubuntu now? | 09:20 |
| pen | kulight: really? it didn't for me. I'm watching youtube video | 09:20 |
| prometheanfire | Jordan_U before | 09:20 |
| prometheanfire | I am | 09:20 |
| kulight | you tube is fine but try speedtest.net | 09:20 |
| Jordan_U | pen: BTW, totem has a youtube browser so you don't need flash for youtube :) | 09:21 |
| petererer | flash on linux takes a lot of cpu power anyway | 09:21 |
| petererer | makes things like speedtest.net require a fast computer... | 09:21 |
| kulight | yes thats not nice from adobe | 09:22 |
| pen | kulight: a little bit CPU | 09:22 |
| pen | kulight: to like 60% average | 09:22 |
| Dedi | yeah are there any news on a native 64bit flash plugin? | 09:22 |
| kulight | thats allot | 09:22 |
| pen | Jordan_U: yea, I know that, isn't that cool? | 09:22 |
| prometheanfire | 60% with flash 10? | 09:22 |
| pen | yea | 09:22 |
| pen | when running tests | 09:22 |
| kulight | its crazy amount for nothing | 09:23 |
| Dedi | adobe sux | 09:23 |
| pen | at least it's working | 09:23 |
| pen | I don't go to speedtest everyday | 09:23 |
| kulight | well maybe but there is nothing else | 09:23 |
| Acksaw1 | hey guys, i've set my theme to dark room but I still need to change the taskbar and such as they havent changed, i heard you have tio change something else for that but i cant find the option?#] | 09:24 |
| Jordan_U | kulight: Just because it's not displaying fancy animations doesn't mean it's doing "nothing". | 09:24 |
| prometheanfire | all it should be doing is downloading a file an timing it | 09:24 |
| dr_willis | its calculating the largest prime in the background. :) | 09:24 |
| kulight | Jordan_U: well just showing a page is not soposed to be cpu killer | 09:25 |
| Jordan_U | prometheanfire: Not sure what it does, but if that's it then flash is overkill, it should just use javascript | 09:25 |
| pen | kulight: probably there is a bug in file transfer? | 09:25 |
| kulight | pen: it even if im not doing the test and it ok on XP | 09:26 |
| Acksaw1 | how do i get the nvidia driver? Everytime i try to get it via desktop effects it says they cannot be enabled, it seems to try to download the driver | 09:26 |
| Jordan_U | Acksaw1: Do you have an older nvidia card? | 09:26 |
| pen | Acksaw1: update your other packages first | 09:26 |
| dr_willis | Acksaw1, some of the servers are having heavy load at this time.. do a update/upgrade and try agian also. may help | 09:26 |
| pen | dr_willis: that's what I did | 09:27 |
| pen | and it works | 09:27 |
| dr_willis | new install.. and had 100+mb of updates | 09:27 |
| dr_willis | :) | 09:27 |
| pen | yea | 09:27 |
| pen | there is not enough updates | 09:27 |
| Acksaw1 | dr_willis: while you're there how do i finish changing to dark room as ive set it buts its not down the taskbars | 09:28 |
| kulight | dr_willis: yesterday there was allot of updates | 09:28 |
| scopecreep | is there a way to schedule transmission to come on when i sleep? would i use cron for that? | 09:28 |
| pen | Acksaw1: try dust, it's better | 09:28 |
| digdug | openjdk won't update because of a ca-certificates-java dependency | 09:28 |
| dr_willis | Acksaw1, never noticed.. let me look | 09:28 |
| Acksaw1 | ill show you whats happening | 09:28 |
| pen | Acksaw1: dust with gnome-colors icon it's a perfect combination | 09:29 |
| Dedi | hm kde4 zoom looks soo ugly compared with gnome zoom | 09:29 |
| pen | digdug: then don't use that. Install sun java | 09:29 |
| Jordan_U | digdug: Apparently a new ca-certificates-java is in the que | 09:29 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sun java | 09:30 |
| pen | dr_willis: I don't understand why don't include dust | 09:30 |
| digdug | it's okay, I don't run anything in java, just being a little ocd when apt-get tells me it can't update something | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | I just set up Darkroom theme, with dust window decor. and it looks nice. :) | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | neither seemto set the panel colors | 09:31 |
| pen | dr_willis: the default panel bg is good too | 09:31 |
| kulight | what is the devs channel i need to find out about a bug ? | 09:32 |
| dr_willis | I am vnc'd in. so the gnome-settings-deamon isent quite working right.. that may be my issue | 09:32 |

When I first installed it all worked perfectly but now I am at home and have changed wifi networkwork, I boot up, it asks for the WEP which I provide.

| rvalles | it's my bro's laptop... he had kdm, and upgrading fux0red it like this (still kdm in init.d, but gdm suddently set) | 09:35 |
| rvalles | probably a bug | 09:35 |
| dr_willis | it seems kdm and gdm have started playing niceer together also.. used to be that if you used gdm to login to kde. you had some issues with the logout fetures. but i dident notice that under 8.10 | 09:35 |

| pen | Acksaw1: show us the screeny again :) | 09:44 |
| Jordan_U | joaopinto: But he mentioned that the solution was a "new ca-certificates-java currently in the upload queue." I assume that the upload cue is for intrepid main rather than the ppa | 09:44 |
| Acksaw1 | sec | 09:44 |
| Acksaw1 | i need to reboot but i will | 09:44 |
| Hobbsee | Jordan_U: he's on crack. there'snothing like that in hte queue. | 09:45 |
| joaopinto | well, he refers to openjdk's ppa, so clearly there is a lack of understanding that the problem is within the official repository | 09:46 |
| Jordan_U | Hobbsee: Oh, that's probably pretty critical then with java being in the release page :) | 09:46 |
| Hobbsee | Jordan_U: well, i'm trying to nominate it, but launchpad's being a POS again. | 09:47 |

| joaopinto | breaking the JRE during RC is not good | 09:50 |
| Acksaw1 | pen: http://i35.tinypic.com/2s7uqna.png | 09:51 |
| joaopinto | aren't the changes now limited to major problems with hard testing requirements ? | 09:51 |
| Jordan_U | joaopinto: On top of that ath5k is *completely missing* from the latest kernel | 09:52 |
| joaopinto | Jordan_U, that was a decision, unlike the broken JRE, I hope :P | 09:53 |
| Hobbsee | joaopinto: yeah, pretty much. doko keeps uploading at leats 1 a day, for some reason.... | 09:53 |
| joaopinto | According to the bug description, ath5k had stability issues | 09:54 |
| htrejh | hi, i tried intrepid RC, and i see that in the gnome menus the ">" are huge, can you change this? it's ugly | 09:56 |
| Jordan_U | joaopinto: Ahh, surprised they decided that so late but I'm glad it was an actual decision | 09:56 |
| joaopinto | so erm, how does a package get's into the repos, without being installed ?, or someone forgot to upload the ca-certificates-java ? | 09:56 |
| pen | Acksaw1: nice | 09:56 |
| Hobbsee | joaopinto: he's done the circular dependancy by accident. | 09:57 |
| Hobbsee | actually, i'ts possible that he's uploaded another one, but it ahsn't hit the queue yet | 09:57 |
| Jordan_U | Hobbsee: Is it really the circular dependency that's the problem? | 09:57 |
| Hobbsee | Jordan_U: looks like it to me. | 09:57 |
| Hobbsee | Jordan_U: that and launcphad has fallen over again. | 09:58 |
| joaopinto | Jordan_U, The ath5k change, bug 288148 | 09:58 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 288148 in linux-lpia "Disabling ath5k in 2.6.27" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/288148 | 09:58 |
| Jordan_U | Hobbsee: I thought apt could deal with circular dependencies, but "openjdk-6-jre-headless: Depends: ca-certificates-java (>= 20080712ubuntu1) but 20080712 is to be installed" Does seem to imply that it can't | 09:59 |
| * Jordan_U needs to get some sleep | 10:00 | |
| Hobbsee | hmm, well, there's certainly an updated version there | 10:00 |
| Hobbsee | which needs to build. | 10:01 |
| Acksaw1 | how do i go about getting songbird installed? | 10:02 |
| pen | Acksaw1: just go to their website | 10:03 |
| pen | Acksaw1: you should know where to find the instructions right? | 10:03 |
| dr_willis | thats what uve always done for songbird. | 10:03 |
| Acksaw1 | im an ubuntu noob mate | 10:03 |
| Acksaw1 | :D | 10:03 |
| dr_willis | I instgall it for my single user. | 10:03 |
| dr_willis | !info songbird | 10:03 |
| ubottu | Package songbird does not exist in intrepid | 10:03 |
| pen | Acksaw1: most of the time if you want to install something, go to their website | 10:04 |
| pen | Acksaw1: if the package is not in the repo | 10:04 |
| Acksaw1 | i downloaded a tar.gz from their site which i know is an arcxhive | 10:04 |
| pen | or the version is out of date | 10:04 |
| Acksaw1 | but it said it couldnt open it | 10:04 |
| pen | you should find a deb or repo right? | 10:04 |
| Acksaw1 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird | 10:04 |
| Acksaw1 | doing that ATM | 10:04 |
| dr_willis | 1) check repos.. :) 2) check medibuntu, 3) check programs homepage., 4) check ppa, 5) if all else fails use source. :) | 10:04 |
| Acksaw1 | i dont even know how to get to the repos ;) | 10:05 |
| Acksaw1 | ive installed it now anyways | 10:05 |
| dr_willis | !repo | 10:05 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 10:05 |

| pen | hi | 10:07 |
| pen | now I'm in irssi | 10:07 |
| joaopinto | Acksaw, there is a songbird package on getdeb, but for hardy, it may work on intrepid | 10:07 |
| petererer | hmm, where is pulseaudio started in intrepid? | 10:07 |
| pen | a little bit lag | 10:07 |
| methods | when does it come out? | 10:07 |
| pen | what music player do most of you guys use? | 10:07 |
| methods | i thought today was the release ? | 10:08 |
| DistroJockey | petererer, sysvconfig will let you enable/disable pulseaudio if that what you need | 10:08 |
| pen | methods: no, we are only in RC | 10:09 |
| DistroJockey | methods, check the homepage | 10:09 |
| petererer | well, in /etc/default/pulseaudio, it's not set to start | 10:09 |
| petererer | hmm | 10:09 |
| methods | the new network manager supports evdo right? | 10:09 |
| methods | is there anyway i can upgrade my network manager only? | 10:09 |
| rvalles | I also have this problem with stable ubuntu... cpufreq won't select the fast speed, even if set to performance governor, not even if forcing with cpufreq-set -g | 10:10 |
| rvalles | err, -f | 10:10 |
| rvalles | is there any way to disable it completelly? (so that ubuntu doesn't load it during boot) | 10:10 |
| rvalles | I suspect it's just the laptop bios that is somehow wrong. | 10:10 |
| petererer | in hardy, gnome-power-manager has cpufreq support | 10:11 |
| pen | rvalles: maybe it's because you enable laptop-mode? | 10:11 |
| methods | hm 5 days | 10:12 |
| Wutz | Hi, my metacity icons (Minimize, Close, Maximize) got switched from right to left after installing a theme, this is really annoying and I can't find out how to switch them back. | 10:12 |
| methods | is there anyway for me to install the new network manager? | 10:12 |
| dr_willis | not without doing a full update/upgrade you mean methods ? | 10:13 |
| methods | yes | 10:13 |
| dr_willis | I doubt it | 10:13 |
| pen | Wutz: what theme? | 10:14 |
| Wutz | mac4lin | 10:15 |
| joaopinto | methods, https://launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive | 10:15 |
| pen | Wutz: is it emerald? | 10:15 |
| Wutz | although i changed it back from it | 10:15 |
| Wutz | no | 10:15 |
| Wutz | the icons are still on the left side | 10:15 |
| pen | Wutz: are you sure it's not emerald? I'm just want to make sure you got it right | 10:15 |
| Wutz | it was not emerald | 10:16 |
| dr_willis | right to left? You mean the icons now auto-allign on the left side? | 10:16 |
| Wutz | yes | 10:16 |
| pen | hm | 10:16 |
| Wutz | all metacity themes do it too | 10:16 |
| pen | Wutz: maybe it's configured that way?? | 10:17 |
| pen | Wutz: try other window border | 10:17 |
| dr_willis | Ive mever noticed any themes affecting that.. actually i dont recall any settings affecting that... | 10:17 |
| Wutz | by window border do you mean theme? | 10:17 |
| dr_willis | window borders are one part of a theme. | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | window 'decoration' | 10:18 |
| Wutz | the metacity theme? | 10:18 |
| pen | yea | 10:18 |
| pen | you should be able to change that in appearance | 10:18 |
| Wutz | i've tried switching | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | metacity controlls the window decorations. :) yes.. | 10:18 |
| Wutz | even the default ubuntu one is at the left | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | I dont recall ever seeing them on the right. | 10:19 |
| Wutz | maybe i upload a pic? | 10:19 |
| pen | yea | 10:19 |
| Wutz | ok 1 min | 10:20 |
| rvalles | pen: no | 10:20 |
| rvalles | it's kernel related | 10:20 |
| rvalles | I need to boot without cpufreq. Is it possible? | 10:21 |
| rvalles | I know I can just delete the cpufreq kernel modules | 10:21 |
| rvalles | but each time there's a kernel upgrade, I'll have the same problem | 10:21 |
| rvalles | is there any other way to just disable cpufreq completelly? | 10:22 |
| marlun | I'm having problems with nvidia-settings. When I try to add an external screen (I'm on a laptop) and save the settings nvidia-settings quits with a segmentation fault. | 10:22 |
| dr_willis | Wutz, perhaps this will help --> http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=937095 | 10:22 |
| joaopinto | rvalles, if it's a module you can black list it | 10:22 |
| dr_willis | they sort of say.. uncheck keep aligned.. drag them over.. then recheck keep aligned | 10:22 |
| DistroJockey | rvalles, is powernowd related? | 10:24 |
| rvalles | DistroJockey: no | 10:24 |
| DistroJockey | rvalles, k | 10:24 |
| aatk | Has anyone had any problems with their wireless in intrepid? For some reason, in gnome, nm-applet connect to it fine, but using a different wm/the console and using ifconfig iwconfig and dhclient, I seem to be unable to get leases... | 10:24 |
| rvalles | DistroJockey: policy is performance, cpu stays at the slow speed | 10:24 |
| aatk | connects* | 10:24 |
| rvalles | DistroJockey: and the max in /sys/whatever *can't* be set to the fast speed | 10:25 |
| Wutz | http://www.freewebs.com/shad0clan/Untitled.jpg - it shows on the top left that the icons are infact on the left | 10:25 |
| DistroJockey | rvalles, just looking in sysvconfig to see what can be disabled | 10:25 |
| rvalles | DistroJockey: thanks | 10:25 |
| rvalles | DistroJockey: but I don't think it'd help | 10:25 |
| rvalles | cpufreq autoloads on startup | 10:25 |
| DistroJockey | rvalles, nope | 10:25 |
| rvalles | the modules autoload, that is | 10:26 |
| rvalles | and the moment they load, it sticks to 800MHz and will never be 1600 again | 10:26 |
| dr_willis | Wutz, ahh.,. youmean the window decoration 'widgets' :) | 10:26 |
| Wutz | What ever it is, i just it back to the right | 10:27 |
| rvalles | I've added it to blacklist | 10:27 |
| rvalles | I'll see if that works | 10:27 |
| rvalles | :/ | 10:27 |
| dr_willis | Wutz, I still have to wonder if you are not using compiz instead of metacity.. try running 'metacity --replace' | 10:27 |
| Wutz | typed that and nothing happened | 10:28 |
| Wutz | compiz isnt enabled | 10:28 |
| dr_willis | Ive never seen a metacity theme that moved those controlls. | 10:29 |
| Wutz | Sorry, got d/ced | 10:30 |
| Wutz | Is there anyway to change this? | 10:30 |
| dr_willis | Hmm.. guess it is some setting.. I see some os-x themes that do have them on the left. | 10:30 |
| dr_willis | You could just go hard-core and delete all your gnome settings to get back to Ubuntu defaults | 10:31 |
| dr_willis | but you may loose your customazations | 10:31 |
| Wutz | oh hmm | 10:31 |
| Wutz | if this changed a setting | 10:32 |
| dr_willis | You used mac4lin correct? | 10:32 |
| Wutz | then there must be a command within that theme which changed it, so maybe i can find it and see what it changed | 10:32 |
| Wutz | yes | 10:32 |
| dr_willis | http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac | 10:33 |
| Wutz | think i found it | 10:33 |
| dr_willis | Now navigate to: apps>metacity>general. On the right double click 'button_layout'. Delete that & type: 'close,minimize,maxmize:menu' (without quotes). Press OK and then quit. The buttons will now be on the left side of titlebar | 10:33 |
| dr_willis | aparently they do move the layout :) in that guide | 10:34 |
| Wutz | yeap, i found this in the theme too gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "close,minimize,maximize:menu" | 10:34 |
| dr_willis | To restore the original layout, just replace the string by 'menu:minimize,maximize,close'. | 10:34 |
| dr_willis | gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string 'menu:minimize,maximize,close' | 10:35 |
| Wutz | that did it | 10:35 |
| Wutz | back to normal, thanks | 10:35 |
| dr_willis | It pays to read the guides. :) | 10:35 |
| dr_willis | we just LOVE gnome and its windows-regiestry-like gconf stuff :) | 10:36 |
| Wutz | sometimes i'd rather shoot myself. =D | 10:36 |
| afflux | do we? sounds interesting ;) | 10:37 |
| * dr_willis backups/compresses/cleans/sweeps his regiestry | 10:37 | |
| zyrorl | anyone has xwinwrap working in intrepid? | 10:37 |
| dr_willis | !info xwinwrap | 10:37 |
| ubottu | Package xwinwrap does not exist in intrepid | 10:37 |
| dr_willis | never heard of it. | 10:37 |
| afflux | me either | 10:38 |
| DistroJockey | heard of it but don't use it | 10:38 |
| zyrorl | basically wraps windows/screensavers/videos (in vlc/mplayer) as backgrounds on your desktop | 10:38 |
| dr_willis | gnome the :'we cant let users change those settings! it will confuse them' : desktop | 10:38 |
| zyrorl | so you can have an animated desktop | 10:38 |
| dr_willis | sounds... err... silly. :) | 10:38 |
| zyrorl | not overly:P | 10:39 |
| dr_willis | sounds like its just taking mplayer and setting it below all, borderless. | 10:39 |
| zyrorl | not just mplayer | 10:39 |
| zyrorl | any executable afaik | 10:39 |
| dr_willis | then again.. MY vidoes are in the 2nd monitor, | 10:39 |
| zyrorl | like | 10:39 |
| Wutz | speaking of which, has anyone else gotten bad video tearing in linux? | 10:39 |
| dr_willis | Im suprised theres not a compiz plugin for that. | 10:39 |
| zyrorl | ie. you could have glmatrix running in the background:P | 10:39 |
| dr_willis | Wutz, depends on the video and the drivers.. and the player. i find. | 10:40 |
| Smegzor | I've upgraded to intrepid, but it had a problem with python-simplejson. http://pastebin.com/d21b50d27 How should I fix it? | 10:40 |
| Wutz | all players do it for me, and i've tried a nvidia card and ati card | 10:40 |
| zyrorl | i think the biggest little annoyance i have right now is network-manager-pptp being broken on intrepid | 10:40 |
| zyrorl | wont read passwords saved in keyring properly | 10:40 |
| zyrorl | so you have to not save a password and type it in everytime you want to vpn in | 10:41 |
| zyrorl | its been reported though... | 10:41 |
| === marko_ is now known as marko-_- | ||
| zyrorl | but no one's fixed it for weeks. | 10:41 |
| Hobbsee | which #? | 10:42 |
| kulight | Smegzor: sudo apt-get install -f might work | 10:43 |
| Smegzor | ok i'll try that | 10:44 |
| Smegzor | kulight: nah it has the same problem | 10:44 |
| Smegzor | reading the pastebin, its some sort of clash with lanshark. not sure if thats a package I installed, but its about to be removed if it is. | 10:46 |
| kulight | !lanshark | 10:47 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lanshark | 10:47 |
| kulight | lan shark is a program for lan analysis so you can remove it | 10:48 |
| Smegzor | it was a deb I got from getdeb | 10:48 |
| Hobbsee | well... | 10:48 |
| Hobbsee | i thought they said to remove any of their packages before upgrading. | 10:48 |
| Smegzor | its unable to be removed either atm. I'm now trying to remove the packages that are tripping it up (fusion-icon mainly) | 10:48 |
| kulight | just remove it fix the problem and if you need it install it again | 10:49 |
| Smegzor | it looks like I have succeeded removing stuff at least. | 10:50 |
| kulight | now try the install -f command | 10:51 |
| Smegzor | all fixed :D | 10:53 |
| pen | hi | 10:53 |
| kulight | Smegzor: very good | 10:53 |
| gaelfx | can you add a guest account to the login list? I thought I remember reading that somewhere | 10:54 |
| Smegzor | should I still uninstall all the stuff I've added from getdeb etc? Right now I have no problems. | 10:54 |

| soulnafein | gaelfx: how to I read syslog? | 11:10 |

| DaveTarmac | morning folks | 11:31 |
| DaveTarmac | anyone had problems with sound output not working? | 11:31 |
| DaveTarmac | in the sound setup, Pulseaudio is selected and the test works, but no other sound appears to want to play | 11:32 |
| soulnafein | DaveTarmac: do you have more than 1 sound card? | 11:34 |
| DaveTarmac | nope - just the onboard one | 11:37 |
| DaveTarmac | sorry - wrong system :s | 11:37 |
| DaveTarmac | yes, I do | 11:37 |
| rconan | which package(s) contain the modules for systemsettings? | 11:38 |
| rconan | I need the one which has the colours section under appearance | 11:38 |
| afflux | that should gnome-control-center | 11:39 |
| rconan | afflux, systemsettings is the kde settings thing... | 11:39 |
| DaveTarmac | soulnafein: yes, I do have more than 1 sound card in - I think I need to add a line to a file, but I can't remember what and where | 11:39 |
| afflux | rconan: kcontrol maybe? | 11:39 |
| rconan | kcontrol doesn't exist anymore, it has been replaced by systemsettings, but installing systemsettings doesn't install all of the modules | 11:40 |
| rconan | i want to know where the modules live | 11:40 |
| afflux | ah that's beyond my knowledge, sorry | 11:41 |
| afflux | (huh, a package called systemsettings, now *that's* a source of confusion, isn't it? | 11:42 |
| rconan | indeed, kcontrol was a much more informing name | 11:43 |
| afflux | at least, you knew where it belonged to | 11:44 |
| zeco | hi, can someone tell me whether something has changed for getting a wireless card to work using ndiswrapper in intrepid? My ndiswrapper lists the driver but modprobe ndiswrapper doesn't give me the wlan0 interface | 11:44 |
| DaveTarmac | ok, soulnafein appears to be AFK at the moment, can anyone enlighten me as to how I edit settings so I have sound coming out of my speakers in the OS, and not just on the Sound Setting test? | 11:46 |
| soulnafein | DaveTarmac: hello again sorry I was adk | 11:48 |
| soulnafein | afk | 11:48 |
| DaveTarmac | no worries soulnafein | 11:49 |
| soulnafein | DaveTarmac: I had a similar problem (2 sounds card)... although I didn't need one (the one integrated on mainboard) so I disabled it from the bios | 11:49 |
| soulnafein | :) | 11:49 |
| soulnafein | I'm sure there is a better way but that worked | 11:49 |
| soulnafein | hehehe | 11:49 |
| DaveTarmac | fair enough, soulnafein. Next time I reboot I'll disable it | 11:50 |
| soulnafein | ;) | 11:50 |

| botanicus | Hi there. I have problem with keyboard, after upgrade to 8.10, the | 11:55 |
| botanicus | keyboard and mouse do not work in gnome at all. Touchpad works. I | 11:55 |
| botanicus | can switch to console, so drivers are OK, just some bug in | 11:55 |
| botanicus | Gnome. Any ideas? | 11:55 |
| botanicus | BTW I found | 11:55 |

| dr_willis | heh heh... | 12:09 |
| dr_willis | botanicus, was this a upgrade? or clean install? | 12:11 |
| comicinker | Latest kernel update broke my atheros WLan. known bug? | 12:12 |
| botanicus | dr_willis: upgrade | 12:13 |
| botanicus | dr_willis: upgrade was OK, no errors, boot correctly, just this gnome issue | 12:13 |
| serengeti | hi, how can I connect to an lpr printer in intrepid? I can only choose LPT#1, AppSocket, SAMBA or "Other" type of connection in the New Printer dialog | 12:13 |
| dr_willis | botanicus, i would try making a new user. seeif it works for them.. if so. then that points to it being some gnome setting issue | 12:14 |
| serengeti | there's an ubuntu question about that, but it remains unanswered: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/46169 | 12:14 |
| botanicus | dr_willis: I've tried it already, new user + startx (so it's not GDM issue) and the same | 12:15 |
| dr_willis | you mean to say the new user has the same issues... | 12:15 |
| botanicus | yep | 12:15 |
| dr_willis | It works in GDM? | 12:15 |
| botanicus | no | 12:15 |
| dr_willis | Hmm.. ok how about another little test.. install a small window manager, like icewm and see if it works for either user in that. | 12:16 |
| erle- | is there ooo3 in intrepid? (maybe in some extra repos) | 12:16 |
| dr_willis | trying to narrow it down. :) | 12:16 |
| dr_willis | botanicus, lets just say that the upgrades ive done.. have not worked well.. clean installs have. :( | 12:16 |
| botanicus | dr_willis: exec openbox in .xinitrc is fine, is it? (Sorry for lame questions, actually I'm mac user and trying to setup ubuntu for my girlfriend) | 12:19 |
| DaveTarmac | that's an odd one - I just tried to access my Home Folder form the Places menu, and for some reason VLC started playing all the media on my desktop | 12:19 |
| DaveTarmac | anyone else had similar things? | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | botanicus, testing any other wm would be a good test.. that way you can prove its a gnome issue even further. | 12:20 |
| dr_willis | botanicus, in the .xinitrc you could try the follow ing 2 lines also.. xterm & exec metacity | 12:21 |
| dr_willis | that would make a xterm. and use the metacity window manager.. see if it works in there... | 12:21 |
| === TeLLuS_ is now known as TeLLuS | ||
| botanicus | dr_willis: OK, do not work in clean openbox, so it must be X.org issue I guess | 12:25 |
| dr_willis | botanicus, ahh.. now we are narrowing it down... | 12:25 |
| dr_willis | botanicus, Hmm.. as a text.. we could move the xorg.conf file to xorg.conf_ORIGINAL, thus 'removing' the xorg.conf, and try starting X with no xorg.conf (thus making X rescan/reconfigure itself) | 12:26 |
| dr_willis | This is a normal keyboard? ps2/usb? not bluetooth? | 12:26 |
| botanicus | dr_willis: normal notebook kbd | 12:28 |
| botanicus | dr_willis: do not work nor when I move the xorg.conf | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | That is weird... | 12:32 |
| emilien | need help ubuntu ibex keeps chainging my filesystem to read only | 12:32 |
| emilien | done wih both my computer now xD | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | emilien, check dmesg output.. it could be the drive/filesystem has some read errors.. so its beging remounted read only as a security/safty feature | 12:32 |
| botanicus | emilien: what do you have in /etc/fstab? | 12:32 |
| emilien | hmm looking at /etc/fstab /dev/sda3 and /dev/sda1 are commented out | 12:35 |
| emilien | this normal ? should i un comment ? | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | are they external usb drives? internal? | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | what filesystem are they? | 12:35 |
| emilien | main internal ones | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | then i would think they should have proper fstab entries | 12:37 |
| emilien | can't change it read only file system | 12:38 |
| mastermolch | i tried to install kde-core on my new ubuntu 8.10 rc installation, but apt-get/synaptic say there is a conflict between version of this package and kdebase-workspace. is this a normal problem 5 days before the release date? | 12:39 |
| dr_willis | this is a normal problem for most relases ive 'watched' :) | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | seems every time i update/ugrade. an hr later theres more updates | 12:40 |
| mastermolch | ok, so i ll wait for a new version of this package :) | 12:40 |
| emilien | what do i do , i could boot live cd recover data , edit fstab from live cd ? | 12:40 |
| emilien | or can i remount ? | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | boot live cd. mount partitions manually.. do whatever you want.. | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | what filesystem are the disks? these are your / partition? or just data? | 12:41 |
| emilien | the whole file system with all my data | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | it may be safest to be VERY paranoid.. and boot live cd. mount disk.. copy data to another fileserver/cd/drive/location | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | then i would fsck the patitions. and see if they get fixed. | 12:44 |
| chowmeined | it seems my hard drive clicks every few seconds, is something wrong? | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | it may be in use.. it maybe going bad.. it may be getting that clickicking all the time due to powersettings problem.. | 12:45 |
| emilien | trying recover mood not sure do anything | 12:47 |
| chowmeined | smart reports no errors, i ran seatools on it (from the dos diagnostics cd) and it said it was fine, it doesnt really sound like the regular in use clicking noise | 12:47 |
| chowmeined | its sounds more like unload/reload click | 12:47 |
| dr_willis | that sounds like that 'overly consertive power saving' issue that was a big deal last year. | 12:47 |
| chowmeined | i thought that only applied to APM systems | 12:47 |
| chowmeined | and even still, its on AC power | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | I thought it was the drive makers 'defaults' that the systems did not override.. | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | batter/ac dident matter. because it was the 'powersaving battery mode' that just showed the problem.. not the fact you were on batteries. | 12:48 |
| chowmeined | oh hmm | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | battery mode - let the drive use its 'defaults' which were overly conservitive in some models | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | the hdparm command could turn off the powersaving stuff... | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | but i lost those notes. :) | 12:49 |
| emilien | ok when im done running fsck , are there any comand to force remount file system ? | 12:51 |
| chowmeined | and there we go | 12:53 |
| chowmeined | dr_willis, strange behavior though | 12:53 |
| dr_willis | the filesystem must be Unmounted befor you fsck it. | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | then you can remountit | 12:54 |
| Runner85sx | helle. i'm using ubuntu8.10 nvidia-settings is chrashing while pressing the "Saving to X Configuration"-Button | 12:55 |

| kiji | will openoffice 3 be in backports or only in the ppa? | 13:00 |
| predator363 | you guys are real great linux fans lol | 13:02 |
| kiji | does pulseaudio work better in intrepid than in hardy? does rhythmbox and flash work together? | 13:02 |
| emilien | dr_willis: ran fsck ,got to boot , get Hal error message when x starts any ideas ? | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | not really. did fsck show any problems/fix anything? | 13:02 |

| zeco1 | can someone help me with ndiswrapper in Intrepid Ibex? | 13:09 |
| chowmeined | dr_willis, ok, got the unload issue dealt with | 13:09 |
| pal | <EyesOfARaven> so what I should to do to install vmware? | 13:10 |
| EyesOfARaven | zeco1: i'm not an expert, but i might be able to help, what's the problem | 13:10 |
| chowmeined | dr_willis, do you know any tricks for fixing disk speed? disk performance right now is pretty slow, doing operations with apt lags out my system | 13:10 |
| EyesOfARaven | pal: i dont quite understand your question | 13:10 |
| wgrant | EyesOfARaven: KVM is a Linux virtualisation techhnology. | 13:10 |
| dr_willis | chowmeined, perhaps some hdparm tweaks.. but othe rthen that.. ive never had issues | 13:11 |
| zeco1 | EyesOfARaven: thx: I installed the proper driver in ndiswrapper and did modprobe ndiswprapper, but I don't get the wlan0-Interface | 13:11 |
| EyesOfARaven | wgrant: there's ANOTHER KVM? that's a confusing name then! my apologies for apparently misleading him | 13:11 |
| pal | <EyesOfARaven> When I execute vmware installation scrippt it reports " You canot install on a system with KVM enabled" | 13:11 |
| chowmeined | dr_willis, ive done a few tweaks, but haven't been able to improve it beyond 4.5MB/s | 13:11 |
| EyesOfARaven | zeco1: do you see it in iwconfig? | 13:11 |
| EyesOfARaven | pal: you will likely need to disable KVM then, apparently it is also a linux virtualization technology | 13:12 |
| pal | <EyesOfARaven> I just want to install vmware | 13:12 |
| zeco1 | EyesOfARaven; no, just the other interfaces (lo, eth0) | 13:12 |
| EyesOfARaven | zeco1: i know this sounds trivial, but did you reboot? | 13:12 |
| zeco1 | EyesOfARaven: of course ;) | 13:12 |
| EyesOfARaven | :D | 13:12 |
| pal | <EyesOfARaven> and how to do this, will it heart other components? | 13:12 |
| zeco1 | EyesOfARaven: I'm on it since thursday (upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid RC. ndiswrapper was working in hardy) | 13:13 |
| EyesOfARaven | zeco1: to my knowledge, this generally means that the driver didn't work properly, there may be something else you can do, but i'm not sure what - perhaps try madwifi if that's an option for you | 13:13 |
| EyesOfARaven | pal: i don't know - you should ask someone else about this, as i'm not familiar with it | 13:13 |
| EyesOfARaven | zeco1: though it won't likely work, you could give ifconfig wlan0 up a try, see if the interface appears | 13:15 |
| zeco1 | EyesOfARaven: "no such device" | 13:16 |
| EyesOfARaven | thought so | 13:17 |
| EyesOfARaven | :/ | 13:17 |
| EyesOfARaven | sorry im not sure what to do | 13:17 |
| san | I upgraded from the beta to the rc and wireless networking stopped working. | 13:18 |
| EyesOfARaven | ndiswrapper? | 13:18 |
| san | before I had to remove some restricted kernel modules in order to get it working in the beta | 13:18 |
| san | nope.. Atheros AR5007EG | 13:19 |
| EyesOfARaven | i've heard something about support for AR5000 support being disabled | 13:19 |
| EyesOfARaven | try a kernel update if you haven't | 13:20 |
| san | EyesOfARaven: why disable a working driver?! And I'm already with the latest version? | 13:20 |
| EyesOfARaven | i don't know, perhaps it *wasn't* working on that version | 13:21 |
| jaksa | how i install tar.gz? | 13:22 |
| kevor | jaksa: it probably is a source package | 13:22 |
| san | tar xvzf filename.tar.gz | 13:22 |
| kevor | first extract it (like san said) | 13:22 |
| jaksa | done | 13:22 |
| kevor | then go into the directory and excecute ./configure | 13:22 |
| jaksa | done | 13:22 |
| EyesOfARaven | jaksa: open a terminal, and goto where the file is, "tar xzf *.tar.gz", "cd name-of-dir", "./configure", "make install clean" | 13:22 |
| kevor | you can try ./configure --help to see the options | 13:23 |
| kevor | you will probably need some development sources, ./configure will fail with a message of what's missing | 13:23 |
| san | EyesOfARaven: where can I find more information about on this wireless driver issue? | 13:23 |
| zeco1 | EyesOfARaven: I wonder whether this would warrant a bug report or what should I do with this. My wireless card (Dell wireless-n 1505 = broadcom BCM4328 (rev3)) isn't that uncommon. Many people will run into this come next thursday. Or where should I go with this | 13:23 |
| jaksa | No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 13:24 |
| kevor | did ./configure succeed? | 13:25 |

| EyesOfARaven | did you try running the screen resolution tool as root? or perhaps editing your xorg.conf? | 13:49 |

| dreamcoder | lol | 13:51 |

| nevoeiro | help? :( | 13:51 |
| EyesOfARaven | atheros 500x card, nevoeiro? | 13:52 |
| dreamcoder | what network card? or wireless etc? | 13:52 |
| nevoeiro | erm.. don't know, wait.. | 13:52 |
| dreamcoder | right brb just installed alsa beta see if that does anything | 13:52 |
| AirBender | there were some chagnes last night with the RC, my atheros driver went back to ath_pci from ath5k | 13:53 |
| nevoeiro | intel pro wireless 3945abg golan.. | 13:53 |
| AirBender | and the leds are blinking again =) | 13:53 |
| predator363 | eyesofraven: sorry i took so long ...iv got the flash codec installed | 13:53 |
| EyesOfARaven | any luck, predator? | 13:54 |
| m1dn1ght | EyesOfARaven: Sorry, was AFK before. Yeah, tried that and no joy unfortunately ;( | 13:54 |
| nevoeiro | eyesofraven: ? | 13:54 |
| predator363 | eyesofaraven: no i was saying iv had them installed for days and this only started happening today | 13:54 |
| EyesOfARaven | nevoeiro: was talking to someone else, what happens when u type iwconfig | 13:55 |
| nevoeiro | EyesOfARaven: intel pro wireless 3945abg golan network connection rev 02 | 13:55 |
| nevoeiro | wait.. | 13:55 |
| EyesOfARaven | predator363: see if it is broken with another browser, seamonkey uses the same plugins | 13:55 |
| nevoeiro | no wireless extensions | 13:55 |
| nevoeiro | ??? | 13:56 |
| nevoeiro | was working great in hardy | 13:56 |
| dreamcoder | nope didnt do a thing lol | 13:56 |
| dreamcoder | grrrrrrrrr | 13:56 |
| EyesOfARaven | nevoeiro: u will need to install a driver for ur wifi, try ndiswrapper (or if your card supports it, madwifi) | 13:56 |
| dreamcoder | well i am going to have to go back to hardy | 13:56 |
| nevoeiro | and now "no wireless extensions" | 13:56 |
| nevoeiro | argh, why did i update, lol.. hardy was great.. | 13:56 |
| nevoeiro | oh well.. | 13:56 |
| predator363 | gotta install seamonkey | 13:57 |
| AirBender | nevoeiro: there should be a driver for your card, you can try booting with another kernel | 13:57 |
| AirBender | for the momment, but I think there's just a detail missing | 13:57 |
| nevoeiro | ok.. | 13:57 |
| AirBender | I can't remember now the name of the modules for this wifi chipset, but you should see if they're loaded | 13:58 |
| AirBender | with lsmod | 13:58 |
| nevoeiro | just to test, where can i get ndiswrapper or madwifi? | 13:59 |
| AirBender | are you with the release candidate? | 13:59 |
| nevoeiro | yes | 13:59 |
| nevoeiro | just updated to rc.. | 13:59 |
| AirBender | madwifi is for the Atheros chipsets, not suitable for your card | 13:59 |
| EyesOfARaven | nevoeiro: ndiswrapper comes by default, you need to download the windows driver for your card, and then run the appropriate terminal commands with ndiswrapper on them | 14:00 |
| AirBender | and ndiswrapper is in the repository, but this is using your winXP drivers... | 14:00 |
| EyesOfARaven | airbender: thanks for clearin that up, i wasnt sure what was supported by it as it's usually referred to pretty vaguely in guides | 14:00 |
| nevoeiro | ok.. thx for the support | 14:00 |
| AirBender | inf fact madwifi is by default with the kernel modules in ubuntu | 14:02 |
| EyesOfARaven | ath_pci is madwifi then? | 14:02 |
| AirBender | you just have to agree with using the ath_hal wich is restricted because it's binary for security reasons | 14:03 |
| AirBender | yep | 14:03 |
| EyesOfARaven | ic | 14:03 |
| predator363 | eyesofaraven: actualy yes flash runs 100% flawlesly in seamonkey and sea monkey also seems to be 10000times faster then firefox! why had i not heard of this before?!?! | 14:03 |
| EyesOfARaven | lol i hate firefox | 14:03 |
| EyesOfARaven | i love seamonkey for that very reason sir | 14:03 |
| EyesOfARaven | :D | 14:03 |
| EyesOfARaven | firefox has gotten bloated with age | 14:04 |
| EyesOfARaven | seamonkey is very old, based on ancient netscape code | 14:04 |
| EyesOfARaven | so it's lean | 14:04 |
| predator363 | i used google chrome on windows | 14:04 |
| predator363 | does seamonkey do tabs? | 14:05 |
| EyesOfARaven | yeah | 14:05 |
| EyesOfARaven | file->new tab if im not mistaken | 14:05 |
| predator363 | how its not in the files menu | 14:05 |
| EyesOfARaven | maybe its tabs->new tab | 14:05 |
| EyesOfARaven | lemme fire it up and check | 14:05 |
| predator363 | oh yea lol it is im just used to it being right in my face | 14:05 |
| EyesOfARaven | yeah it's not quiiiiite as interface friendly as firefox | 14:06 |
| EyesOfARaven | but imo the speed and function is worth the trade | 14:06 |
| z0r | hi. I'm upgrading to intrepid with update manager in a gnome session. When pam was upgraded, it asked which services it could restart. gdm was in the list. I removed it because I thought it would boot me out of gnome if it was restarted, and interrupt the installation. Would it have? Is this a bug? | 14:06 |
| AirBender | may be it's a better idea to do this from the console, out of gnome with do-release-upgrade | 14:07 |
| tux | anyone know is netbook remix will be released next week ? | 14:08 |

| nevoeiro | AirBender: if it's working, don't fix it :P haha | 14:18 |
| AirBender | haha | 14:18 |
| EyesOfARaven | it'd be neat if there was an option to use windows drivers for other things besides wifi | 14:18 |

| AirBender | |Cyb3rPunk|: so, may be it's a good idea to switch to console 1, and change the video driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf from whatever it is to vesa | 14:29 |
| EyesOfARaven | acknix: automatix wasnt even available for 8.04 :p | 14:29 |

| petr4 | and you have something like openoffice-writer but not openoffice | 16:20 |

| dr_willis | #1 -fail in what way. #2. you could always comment them out if you wanted. | 16:30 |
| dr_willis | #3 - the servers are gettting a lot of load lately. so that may be the issue | 16:31 |
| LightTitan | fail as in when I am reloading in Synaptic, they all say fail while all the others say updated | 16:31 |
| dr_willis | which servers specifically? could be they are overloaded. | 16:31 |

| dr_willis | :P | 16:53 |
| EyesOfARaven | i wish i had all the leet xp ircing that u hav | 16:53 |
| dr_willis | whats scary is to google for your own name/nick and find logs/comments/messages from your self dated 20+ years ago.. | 16:54 |
| Don_Miguel | yikes ! | 16:54 |
| Don_Miguel | ... hope you were careful in what you said ! | 16:54 |
| Fiyuri | http://www.clanplanet.de/_sites/index.asp?rn=&clanid=10972 | 16:55 |
| dr_willis | back then.. we talked about computers... there was no XXX chat back then. | 16:55 |
| dr_willis | :) | 16:55 |
| dr_willis | and no spam, and no spambots.. | 16:55 |
| Don_Miguel | some new things are NOT a sign of 'progress' | 16:56 |
| dulak | any gotchas on the RC? | 16:56 |
| dr_willis | every time ive ever seen some one in an IM client chat room.. it seems tobe 99% spamXXX bots.. and 2 people... | 16:56 |
| FFForever | any news on the boot stalling problem? | 16:56 |
| MrLemur | Anyone have a problem with alsamixer? | 16:56 |
| dulak | cuz I'm thinking about upgrading today instead of waiting for the official release | 16:56 |
| Denise | owner in oilonmars | 16:56 |
| Denise | lol | 16:56 |
| EyesOfARaven | i just did something that was plausibly stupi | 16:56 |
| EyesOfARaven | dd | 16:56 |
| Denise | oops | 16:57 |
| EyesOfARaven | i tried to uninstall evolution email client | 16:57 |
| FFForever | ??? | 16:57 |
| batti5 | what is a commas? | 16:57 |
| EyesOfARaven | and apparently it's part of the desktop | 16:57 |
| rmn | i have a desktop machine that used to run debian etch. it boots the alpha-6 live CD ok. It does not start the RC correctly (after splash it blinks an underscore). md5-sum checked. x85_64. any known bugs, or workarounds? | 16:57 |
| dr_willis | dulak, given how sluggish the servers are.. :) well.. go for it! but ive had bad issues with upgrades. i just did 2 clean reinstalls.. | 16:57 |
| dr_willis | EyesOfARaven, the 'ubuntu-desktop' package is a meta-package.. removing it wont affedt much. | 16:57 |
| EyesOfARaven | meta-packages r bundles of other packages rite | 16:58 |
| dr_willis | yep | 16:58 |
| dr_willis | a package that just 'depends' on other packages. | 16:58 |
| EyesOfARaven | it also wanted to remove my gnome-panel-applets | 16:58 |
| EyesOfARaven | :p | 16:58 |
| dr_willis | to make installing a 'suite' of related thigns easier | 16:58 |
| dr_willis | You could always reinstall those./ | 16:58 |
| dr_willis | but why bother removing it... | 16:59 |
| EyesOfARaven | cuz evolution keeps popping up | 16:59 |
| Don_Miguel | but they are so helpful when they are THERE and we can USE them ! | 16:59 |
| EyesOfARaven | when i dont even click on it | 16:59 |
| EyesOfARaven | asking me to set up an email account i dont have | 16:59 |
| FFForever | Don_Miguel, google FTW XD | 16:59 |
| EyesOfARaven | how do i get evolution to stfu | 17:00 |
| FFForever | EyesOfARaven, remove it from synaptic :D | 17:00 |
| dr_willis | I have never seen it pop up. | 17:00 |
| EyesOfARaven | nor have i until today | 17:00 |
| EyesOfARaven | but it has done it some 5 times | 17:00 |
| Don_Miguel | I see that one sometimes,too .. and would like to put a stop to it ! | 17:00 |
| FFForever | only time it popups for me is when i make it open by clicking an email addy :( | 17:00 |
| dr_willis | could bt your session got saved... | 17:00 |
| EyesOfARaven | i never use synaptic | 17:00 |
| dr_willis | or just input fake info.. | 17:00 |
| EyesOfARaven | will synaptic not just remove it the same way apt-get was? | 17:01 |
| dulak | well here's to upgrades, let's hope I don't spend all day today fixing stuff | 17:01 |
| kronk2002de | hi | 17:01 |
| EyesOfARaven | kronk | 17:01 |
| EyesOfARaven | does the de in ur name mean "Delaware" | 17:01 |
| dr_willis | synaptic=apt-get basically. :) they do the same task | 17:01 |
| EyesOfARaven | so it will also attack my gnome applets | 17:01 |
| EyesOfARaven | as i thot | 17:01 |
| EyesOfARaven | how can i make evolution go away peacefully | 17:01 |
| kronk2002de | i have a problem with intreprid. i can't find pand anymore, but i need it for using my Internet Sharing on my HTC phone. Can anybody help me? | 17:02 |
| EyesOfARaven | kronk2002de: delaware? | 17:02 |
| kronk2002de | hi eyes | 17:02 |
| kronk2002de | sorry, de means Germany ;) | 17:02 |
| EyesOfARaven | damn, thot i knew u | 17:02 |
| EyesOfARaven | lol | 17:02 |
| mamers | hi all - 1st: thanks for the upcoming intrepid release! | 17:02 |
| dulak | dr_willis: servers don't seem that sluggish to me, getting about 1 meg/sec downloading right now | 17:02 |
| kronk2002de | sorry for lazy answers ;) | 17:02 |
| * Don_Miguel goes to check Evolution dependencies | 17:03 | |
| dr_willis | dulak, ive had them be up/down all night. it may be the latest batch of updates going through | 17:03 |
| EyesOfARaven | don_miguel: ty | 17:03 |
| mamers | any idea if the udev-fix for is going to be included in the final release? (CD tray keeps closing after ejecting...) | 17:03 |
| dr_willis | I grabbed the isos via torrent faster then the serves.. but it took me 10 min/a dozen tries to get the .torrent downloaded from a server | 17:03 |
| FFForever | can i encrypt all of /home if its its own partition? | 17:04 |
| FFForever | (and its in use right now...) | 17:04 |
| mamers | One problem I ran into after upgrading: The Network Connection on eth0 was broken. (I would have needed to manually configure it in the Network Manager - something I think many end-users might not be willing to do ...) | 17:05 |
| FFForever | ubuntu just downgraded my wine :( | 17:05 |
| mamers | I added a dhcp-line to /etc/network/interfaces, which solved the issue also. | 17:06 |
| kronk2002de | another question belongs to an access problem: i would like to use a Option 3G+ PCMCIA card - in 8.04 64bit edition the needed nozomi module is broken, so i changed to intreprid on beta status. in alpha version it was recognized right, since beta i get an "device /dev/noz0 not found", but it is available :( | 17:06 |
| mamers | Any idea on how to have Network Manager automatically use the network settings -- they have worked out of the box with 8.04 before! | 17:06 |
| coppro | mamers: what did you do to get dhcp working? | 17:07 |
| coppro | I think I need to do that! | 17:07 |
| FFForever | mamers, network manager auto connects for me :/ | 17:07 |
| coppro | for me, having networkmanager running prevents me from connecting, even manually | 17:07 |
| FFForever | coppro, if u killall nm-applet | 17:08 |
| kronk2002de | with wired networks i haven't any problems | 17:08 |
| FFForever | then dhclient eth0 does it work? | 17:08 |
| FFForever | kronk try searhing the help docs and the forums or post on the forums | 17:08 |
| coppro | FFForever: networkmanager keeps disassociating the network card | 17:08 |
| mamers | coppro: I added the lines "iface eth0 inet dhcp" and "auto eth0" to /etc/network/interfaces | 17:08 |
| coppro | (wireless) | 17:08 |
| mamers | coppro: however, that's the *manual* kind of approach, that no end-user would do... (I don't care with my PC at home - still, it's not optimal) | 17:09 |
| kronk2002de | FFForever, i have searched on google and placed threads in ubuntu forum, but nobody can help me | 17:09 |
| kronk2002de | cause of that, i hoped I'll find anybody here, who can help me | 17:09 |
| FFForever | anyone know if i can remotely disable a pdf from my webserver? | 17:09 |
| mamers | FFForever, coppro: yes, "dhclient eth0" worked for me as well - but it's not permanent after next reboot. | 17:10 |
| FFForever | i only use wifi so i cant help you :( | 17:10 |
| FFForever | mamers so a simple fix would to write a bash script #!/bin/bash <newline> dhclient eth0 and add that as a startup script on login for your session :) | 17:11 |
| FFForever | mamers you might need root to run that command though so i would use a cron script instead and have it run that as root | 17:11 |
| FFForever | :D | 17:11 |
| mamers | FFForever :), 'course -- but tell this my mum ... :) | 17:12 |
| FFForever | i like quick and dirty fixes :D | 17:12 |
| mamers | Was just wondering if that's a problem others ran into as well. If so, IMHO it should be looked into for final release. | 17:12 |
| mamers | ( lol ) | 17:12 |
| FFForever | mamers i have a better unfixed problem :D | 17:13 |
| FFForever | my boot/shutdown stalls till i hold down a key for 20secs | 17:13 |
| unavailable | www.myspace.com/yahushuah_hamessiach <-- this page makes firefox hang really bad | 17:13 |
| coppro | I had a similar problem on 7.10 that I eventually fixed by making a script to connect and chmod -x /etc/init.d/NetworkManager | 17:14 |
| coppro | not at all optimal | 17:14 |
| mamers | FFForever, ouch! ... well, put our problems together, and a frustrated enduser (after not being able to connect to the web) can't even shut down the machine anymore !? ;) | 17:14 |
| FFForever | i found out i had to hold a key after pressing and holding my shutdown button the progress bar moved LOL | 17:15 |
| coppro | nope, that didn't help | 17:15 |
| mamers | any idea if so. is looking into the network thing? or whom to talk to? | 17:15 |
| coppro | while networkmanager is running | 17:15 |
| ratpoison | hello! ATI amd64 user. How is fglrx support on 8.10 RC1? | 17:15 |
| coppro | the wireless card refuses to stay associated to a network protocol | 17:15 |
| coppro | (iwconfig says unassociated rather than IEEE 802.11g) | 17:15 |
| coppro | I wonder if I reconfigure network-manager | 17:15 |
| kronk2002de | hi ratposon | 17:15 |
| kronk2002de | currently no fglrx module is available | 17:16 |
| mamers | coppro, do you only use wireless? or do you have the problem with ethernet as well? | 17:16 |
| coppro | mamers: haven't tried ethernet | 17:16 |
| FFForever | i use wifi :D | 17:16 |
| kronk2002de | but you can use the free modules until ATI provides a new module working with ne X.org | 17:16 |
| FFForever | mamers when i plug my eth in it works fine for me :/ | 17:16 |
| FFForever | maybe its ur chipset | 17:16 |
| coppro | I don't think it'll be a problem though, as knetworkmanager seems capable of using dhcp | 17:16 |
| FFForever | what is the lspci for ur eth card? | 17:16 |
| FFForever | coppro this is for ubuntu not kubuntu.... | 17:17 |
| coppro | FFForever: the problem is with NetworkManager, which is on both | 17:17 |
| coppro | nothing to do with the graphical interface; it's the daemon that's the trouble | 17:17 |
| ratpoison | according to this http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=canonical_catalyst_811&num=1 there seems to be | 17:17 |
| ratpoison | can anyone verify that? | 17:17 |
| mamers | FFForever, chipset is nVidia (onboard). however, if I configure it "manually" in NetworkManager, it works. also, the line in interfaces works just fine. -> the chipset is supported properly (basically at least) | 17:17 |
| FFForever | mamers but what is the lspci of it? | 17:18 |
| mamers | FFForever nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller | 17:18 |
| FFForever | mcp :( | 17:18 |
| mamers | FFForever (rev a3) | 17:18 |
| FFForever | i have a mcp67 :/ | 17:19 |
| mamers | coppro: i have no idea about wireless stuff - whether we have the same problem, I don't know ... (might be a wireless-key-configuration-issue, or sth. different?) | 17:19 |
| coppro | mamers: no, it's not the key | 17:19 |
| mamers | FFForever: is that bad news? | 17:19 |
| coppro | network-manager just refuses to let the thing bind to a network properly | 17:20 |
| FFForever | mamers since i bought this laptop mcp has been nothing but hell for me :( | 17:20 |
| FFForever | mamers are you fully up2date? | 17:21 |
| batti5 | why i can`t connect to online play with wormux | 17:22 |
| batti5 | ? | 17:22 |
| mamers | coppro I got the error message "Updating connection failed: nm-ifupdown-connection.c.82 - connection update not supported (read-only).." when trying to change a different ethernet interface ... but this was statically configured in interfaces file ... perhaps this error only occurs if the device is already listed manually in interfaces ... you get a similar error? | 17:22 |
| coppro | hmm... where did you see that? | 17:22 |
| FFForever | batti5, last time i checked wormux didn't have online support (yet...) | 17:23 |
| mamers | FFForever - have just updated any new packages 2 hours ago ... trying again. | 17:23 |
| kronk2002de | is anybody with a intrepid 64bit here? | 17:23 |
| dr_willis | kronk2002de, yes.. it works fine for me.. support in #ubuntu+1 | 17:23 |
| dr_willis | :) | 17:23 |
| kronk2002de | hi dr_willis | 17:23 |
| mamers | coppro when trying to modify "eth1" properties from "static" to "dhcp". (which I actually didn't want to do anyway, since I needed DHCP for "eth0", not "eth1"... however, found out about this later and "fixed" the eth0-problem with interfaces-entry above) | 17:24 |
| kronk2002de | i am in ubuntu+1 ;) | 17:24 |
| FFForever | has flash started support 64bit on ubuntu yet? | 17:24 |
| dr_willis | FFForever, it works here.. for me.. support in.. oh wait...... | 17:24 |
| dr_willis | :) | 17:24 |
| coppro | hmm... I'm going to try again | 17:24 |
| coppro | this time watching my logs | 17:24 |
| kronk2002de | i would like to know, if you have the pand binary available? | 17:24 |
| dr_willis | its using the 32bit compat libs however. | 17:24 |
| FFForever | tail -n FTW! | 17:24 |
| dr_willis | pand? never heard of it.. :) | 17:24 |
| FFForever | pand? | 17:24 |
| mamers | coppro: this popped up in gnome as an error notification window | 17:24 |
| FFForever | anyone know where i can get free binarys of john the ripper :D | 17:25 |
| kronk2002de | until 8.04 it was located in bluez-utils package | 17:25 |
| dr_willis | Bluetooth PAN daemon version 3.26 | 17:25 |
| coppro | mamers: I'm not on gnome | 17:25 |
| dr_willis | its installed. :) | 17:25 |
| FFForever | i wanna see how fast it can crack my password lol | 17:25 |
| kronk2002de | with it i can use the Internet Sharing on my HTC phone | 17:25 |
| coppro | tail -n? tail -f! | 17:25 |
| mamers | FFForever, yes, all packages are up to date - AFAIC see, no related packages have changed since I upgraded yesterday evening. | 17:25 |
| kronk2002de | better to say, with it i can enter a PAN with my phone | 17:25 |
| kronk2002de | it IS available for you, dr_wiliis? | 17:26 |
| FFForever | mamers there is nothing u can do but wait :( | 17:26 |
| mamers | coppro checking... | 17:26 |
| dr_willis | kronk2002de, its installed. it seems.. | 17:26 |
| mamers | FFForever - can I file some information somewhere? | 17:26 |
| kronk2002de | damn, could you locate the package, where it is in? | 17:26 |
| dr_willis | Oh waiot.. thats the fileserver.. ;) its not 8.10 yet | 17:26 |
| kronk2002de | ahhhh | 17:26 |
| dr_willis | i got the wrong ssh shell open | 17:26 |
| kronk2002de | no problem | 17:26 |
| dr_willis | this is the reason for Vastly different/color prompts on each machine. :) | 17:27 |
| FFForever | mamers u could file a bug report | 17:27 |
| kronk2002de | ROFL | 17:27 |
| kronk2002de | yes, it can also be bad, that everything works well good together *smile* | 17:27 |
| FFForever | dr_willis, i have a better one for you :), i did a ssh into an ssh into an ssh into an ssh and i wanted to install something forgetting i was on another machine.... | 17:28 |
| FFForever | i installed it and couldn't figure out why it still said it was uninstalled.... | 17:28 |
| dr_willis | well on 8.10 64bit - i type 'pand' and it dont tellme where to find the command.. i just get command not found. | 17:28 |
| dulak | anyone have a sharp knife and a live chicken I can borrow? upgrade is proceeding... | 17:28 |
| peter771 | is it worth upgrading from 7.10 to 8.10 yet or waiting until the final release to make a decision? | 17:29 |
| dr_willis | FFForever, dont 'ssh -X' to a machine and run syngery either.... | 17:29 |
| mamers | coppro can't find this exact error message in /var/log, sorry. | 17:29 |
| dr_willis | FFForever, that confused things | 17:29 |
| kronk2002de | yes, same here - about three weeks ago it tells me, that i have to install bluez-utils package, but it was installed *grml* | 17:29 |
| FFForever | dr_willis, i don't use -X | 17:29 |
| mamers | coppro, don't really know how to reproduce (since my NetworkManager has disappeared from Gnome-panel after my interfaces-entries) | 17:29 |
| dr_willis | FFForever, the mouse started going from one side of the screen to the middle and back real fast. :) it was amuseing. | 17:29 |
| FFForever | sounds fun :D | 17:30 |
| dr_willis | syngery - is a neat tool | 17:30 |
| FFForever | mamers you could disable it :D | 17:30 |
| FFForever | dr_willis, syngery is fun :D | 17:30 |
| FFForever | i had 4 computers with it :D | 17:30 |
| kronk2002de | mamers, for me the NetworkManager appears for every connection, i use - still on time i use it | 17:30 |
| coppro | there is nothing unusual in my logs | 17:31 |
| kronk2002de | so i get a new nm icon, if i just plug a network cable in | 17:31 |
| coppro | just with networkmanager active, the dhcp fails | 17:31 |
| FFForever | anyways back to learning python :D | 17:31 |
| dulak | peter771: you'll have to upgrade to 8.04 to be able to upgrade to 8.10 afaik | 17:31 |
| dr_willis | for some odd reason (i have kde and gnome bothinstalled) i get 2 network manager icons on the top panel. :) and if using wirless.. i get 2 stregenth meters.. | 17:32 |
| dulak | peter771: unless you are gonna clean install instead of upgrade | 17:32 |
| mamers | hmm - I don't really trust this automagical things anyway (no offense!) :) | 17:32 |
| mamers | too many issues I could misconfigure ;) | 17:32 |
| peter771 | dulak, I'm just going to do a fresh install | 17:32 |
| adz21c | Hi, I am having issues with my Xonar D2 sound card and interpid. Basically first time I installed it didn't (even though after upgrading to alsa 1.0.17 on hardy it worked, 1.0.17 didn't work on interpid), so I tried upgrading alsa to 1.0.18rc3, that worked for 1 boot, after reboot it failed. Then I reinstalled interpid, it was working for several boots last night. I log on now, no sound again, anyone have any ideas? | 17:33 |
| peter771 | dulak, would you say the RC is close enough to the final version to use now? | 17:33 |
| adz21c | ^ didn't work I mean :) | 17:33 |
| dulak | peter771: I'm upgrading right now, I'll tell you in a few | 17:34 |
| kronk2002de | hey peter, it's better to not use non-stable releases on systems you use productive | 17:34 |
| adz21c | oh and after reinstall it was working on 1.0.17 shipped with intrepid ... it is as if it works when it decides to. | 17:34 |
| coppro | I do that | 17:34 |
| coppro | I always upgrade a week or so early to avoid the rush and the overnight (or worse) downloads | 17:35 |
| dulak | coppro: that's exactly why I'm upgrading today | 17:35 |
| coppro | and it's not like much changes at this point | 17:35 |
| mamers | kronk2002de did you do anything special? if I check my processes, there are "NetworkManager" and "nm-system-settings" running... | 17:35 |
| kronk2002de | nope | 17:35 |
| kronk2002de | but - for first connection - i had to start networkmanager manually, then i have edited my wlan settings and it worked for me | 17:36 |
| coppro | kronk2002de: what do you mean "edited my wlan settings?" | 17:37 |
| kronk2002de | do you have more than one connection, mamers? | 17:37 |
| mamers | yupp, eth0 (dhcp -> stopped working with upgrade) and eth1 (statically configured for local network) | 17:37 |
| kronk2002de | coppro, after first upgrade to intrepid, i can't see my wlan, cause it was using channel 13 | 17:37 |
| coppro | ah. That's not the problem I'm having | 17:38 |
| kronk2002de | then i re-installed 8.04, found the hint that 12 and 13 are hided | 17:38 |
| ali1234 | mamers: think i have the same problem as you | 17:38 |
| kronk2002de | so, i reconfigured my wlan | 17:38 |
| kronk2002de | then upgraded to intrepid again, but can't see nm | 17:38 |
| mamers | ali1234 what did you do to get your network up and running again? | 17:39 |
| kronk2002de | on this time, i've started networkmanager manually | 17:39 |
| ali1234 | mamers: i disabled network manager and manually configured everything | 17:39 |
| dulak | 12 and 13 have major problems with cordless phone interference, that's why they are not accessible by default | 17:39 |
| kronk2002de | configured my wlan settings and from this time, it works fine | 17:39 |
| dulak | yer basically begging for any neighbor with the right cordless phone to totally jack your wireless whenever they use the phone | 17:39 |
| theunixgeek | How many wallpapers come pre-installed in the release candidate? | 17:39 |
| mamers | ali1234 (what I did was to manually configure eth0 for DHCP in /etc/network/interfaces, but that's nothing an end-user would do ...) | 17:39 |
| kronk2002de | dulak, i've read, that the problem is, that, eg. the police uses the frequences | 17:39 |
| mamers | kronk2002de: when I manually added eth0 to the network manager, the connection worked, yes. | 17:40 |
| ali1234 | mamers: my problem is eth0 is configured for dhcp and usb0 is static, and is not an internet connection. but whenever i plug in the usb device, it creates a default route (even though i did not specify one in the static config in /etc/network/interfaces) and it also wipes out my resolv.conf | 17:40 |
| dulak | I don't know about that but I thought I'd be slick and use 13 to hide my wireless from casual snooping | 17:40 |
| dulak | every time my g/f would use the phone my wireless would go down | 17:41 |
| mamers | kronk2002de, however, I think it's a problem that the network just "stopped working" after the upgrade -- since it *did* work with 8.04 beforehand. | 17:41 |
| kronk2002de | hmm, does other connections works for you from then on? | 17:41 |
| dulak | so I was down about 60% of the day | 17:41 |
| ali1234 | mamers: so every time i plug the usb device, i have to reconfigure eth0 etc. or just disable network manager | 17:41 |
| kronk2002de | yes, for wlan i can say the same for me - but i haven't checked it with wired connection | 17:41 |
| mamers | ali1234, I can't really remember the exact route anymore, I think it was set to the local eth1-network. | 17:42 |
| ali1234 | well this is interesting. the crash report thing says pidgin has crashed | 17:43 |
| ali1234 | but if it's crashed, how come i'm still here? | 17:43 |
| mamers | ali1234, however, eth0 was not listed in NetworkManager at all after the upgrade ... "ifconfig" did show the interface, but it had a wrong IP address (and the default route should have pointed to eth0-network ...) | 17:43 |
| mamers | ali1234: AFAICT eth0 just didn't use DHCP -- which is why it could not work properly then, of course. | 17:44 |
| ali1234 | mamers: i also did not have the problem in hardy | 17:44 |
| ali1234 | mamers: network manager just crashed on me anyway :/ | 17:45 |
| mamers | ali1234 hmm, seems the NetworkManager might be problematic in some situations... ? | 17:46 |
| ali1234 | seems like every time i boot up at least one program crashes before i get to desktop. usually network manager applet, but sometimes the volume control or another gtk app | 17:46 |
| mamers | ali1234: however, I don't have a real solution for my problem ... just a manual workaround. | 17:46 |
| ali1234 | mamers: oh yeah... very much so | 17:46 |
| mamers | ali1234 have you tried a new user-profile already? (same problem there as well?) | 17:47 |
| ali1234 | mamers: i dont have any per user settings for nm | 17:47 |
| mamers | (or does th eproblem occur even before you log in?) | 17:47 |
| ali1234 | mamers: eth0 is still configured exactly as it was when i first installed and usb0 is configured in /etc/network/interfaces | 17:48 |
| ali1234 | mamers: the problem occurs any time i unplug and plug in the usb device | 17:48 |
| mamers | ali1234, I'm not sure, but the setting "[ifupdown] managed=false" in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf might have something to do with this ... | 17:49 |
| ali1234 | mamers: but then... the usb wouldn't come up at all when i pluged it | 17:49 |
| mamers | ali1234 whether it means not to use NM for interfaces from /etc/network/interfaces, or the other way 'round, I don't know ... | 17:49 |
| ali1234 | mamers: the problem is that it comes up, but then a default route gets created which i dont want | 17:49 |
| ali1234 | mamers: and which i did not ask for. and also my resolv.conf gets wiped, because i did not specify any name servers on that interface, because there arn't any | 17:50 |
| mamers | ali1234 you might try to tell NM *not* to handle anything with the usb-stuff. | 17:50 |
| mamers | ali1234 as you might have guessed, i don't know about the NM either ;), ... but perhaps changing the property above from false to true or the other way round might help (!?) | 17:51 |
| ali1234 | mamers: i will give it a try | 17:51 |
| ali1234 | mamers: but i suspect that will be the same as disabling nm entirely ie i will have to manually ifconfig it every time | 17:51 |
| coppro | ali1234: try making a script; that's what I did | 17:52 |
| peter771 | I'm running 7.10 and thinking about upgrading to 8.10 (fresh install), is it worth waiting until the final release or is 8.10 pretty much ready now in its RC stage? | 17:52 |
| kronk2002de | bye @all | 17:53 |
| mamers | ali1234, did you tell NM anything about your usb-device? | 17:53 |
| mamers | bye kronk2002de, thanks! | 17:53 |
| ali1234 | mamers: no, and if i do, it forgets it all as soon as i replug it | 17:53 |
| ali1234 | no | 17:53 |
| ali1234 | mamers: so... nm-applet has crashed | 17:54 |
| td123 | so is the dark theme going to be the default for 8.10? just curious | 17:54 |
| mamers | ali1234 hmm, sorry, no idea there ... thought that /usr/share/doc/network-manager/* might hold usefull information, but I'm not sure it helps. | 17:55 |
| mamers | ali1234 need to go again ... let's hope the package maintainers can find the time to look into the NetworkManager again until the final release... | 17:56 |
| mamers | bye everybody | 17:56 |
| ali1234 | coppro: what kind of script? | 17:58 |
| bsnider | is there an ubuntu mac channel? | 17:58 |
| acksaw | hey guys, trying to get my wireless card working, not sure where to start, currently using a crossover from my Vista PC and ICS... my wireless card is a F5D7000 and i think the version is 1010 | 18:01 |
| ali1234 | wow, i dont know if an update fixed it or something but it seems to be working now | 18:01 |
| vincenzo_ml | Hi there, I am using intrepid under a virtual machine under windows because of broken intel wireless drivers under linux. Do some of you know how to make it access physical ext3 devices that windows does obviously not use? | 18:02 |
| falstaff | hello | 18:03 |
| td123 | vincenzo_ml: there is no software that does what you want | 18:03 |
| falstaff | i installed ibex rc1 today and i have no virtual terminals. I have to say that this laptop is new, so it might be a problem which exists since a longer time... | 18:04 |
| falstaff | any idea? | 18:04 |
| vincenzo_ml | td123: what do you mean? Is there no way to map physical partitions to virtual devices in linux? did you already try to do this? | 18:04 |
| falstaff | Ctrl+Alt+F1 shows nothing than a blank screen, no cursor, absolutely nothing... | 18:04 |
| td123 | vincenzo_ml: actually, you could try using the ext mount utils for windows, mount them, and create a transparent folder with virtualbox pointing to the mounted ext partition.... It might just work :D | 18:04 |
| falstaff | I have a nvidia graphic card and use nvidia binary driver | 18:04 |
| vincenzo_ml | td123: that would mess up permissions! | 18:05 |
| falstaff | ubuntuforums shows some solution, i tried this (fbcon, vga=791 kernel parameter) didnt work.... | 18:05 |
| falstaff | Any idea? | 18:05 |
| vincenzo_ml | td123: however I can't believe nobody thought of this | 18:05 |
| td123 | vincenzo_ml: I don't speak for everyone... | 18:05 |
| bsnider | falstaff, what graphics card is this? | 18:05 |
| falstaff | bsnider: nvidia | 18:05 |
| falstaff | bsnider: nvidia quadro fx 770 | 18:05 |
| vincenzo_ml | td123: ok I see. Thank you in any case | 18:06 |
| td123 | vincenzo_ml: so what if it messes up permissions though... just don't do anything like rm -rf / | 18:06 |
| vincenzo_ml | td123: I want to share my home directory and there are posix permissions | 18:06 |
| bsnider | falstaff, you need the 177 driver for that | 18:06 |
| vincenzo_ml | if I mount trough windows I don't think I can see modes | 18:06 |
| td123 | vincenzo_ml: well windows is the problem then... | 18:07 |
| falstaff | bsnider: yes, i have this driver | 18:07 |
| falstaff | bsnider: nvidia-settings says 177.80 | 18:07 |
| bsnider | falstaff, and then you need a working xorg.conf file to tell x to load it | 18:07 |
| vincenzo_ml | td123: it is, absolutely :) however ubuntu is a bigger problem - I NEVER use windows, I never did serious work under windows for a decade. But since when intel open-sourced their drivers, I can't work anymore | 18:07 |
| td123 | vincenzo_ml: did you try googling it? | 18:08 |
| vincenzo_ml | td123: yes and I will now retry := | 18:08 |
| vincenzo_ml | ) | 18:08 |
| falstaff | bsnider: im pretty sure this driver is in use at the moment, nvidia-settings wouldnt work otherwise... | 18:08 |
| bsnider | good | 18:08 |
| bsnider | then you're all seet | 18:08 |
| vincenzo_ml | bye all, rebooting and then back | 18:10 |
| falstaff | bsnider: what can i check else? boot splash screen works, so framebuffer seems to work right? When i press Ctrl+Alt+F1 then he does nothing for a few seconds. Then the display switches to black (its more if the screen goes off then displaying black...) | 18:10 |
| superkiwi | Hello, i'm installing ubuntu 8.10 rc server. Why does not 'install automatic updates' and 'basecamp (or whatever it was called (landscape?)) not have a 'go back' option like the rest of the menus?. It is complaining about inserting another cd, I don't have it and I must start ALL over again. Is there a way to go back? | 18:17 |
| SBTooth | howdy folks... anyone with experience with the new atheros drivers? | 18:18 |
| danage | SBTooth: yes, unfortunately | 18:19 |
| danage | please state your problems | 18:19 |
| adz21c | Hi, I am having issues with my Xonar D2 sound card. Basically first time I installed ubuntu interpid it didn't work at all (even though after upgrading to alsa 1.0.17 on ubuntu hardy it worked, 1.0.17 didn't work on interpid), so I tried upgrading alsa to 1.0.18rc3, that worked for 1 boot, after reboot it failed. Then I reinstalled interpid (moving me back to the 1.0.17 shipped with intrepid), it was working for several boots last | 18:19 |
| adz21c | night, watched a DVD etc. I log on now, no sound again, anyone have any ideas? | 18:19 |
| danage | SBTooth: lspci -nv |grep 168c | 18:20 |
| SBTooth | 01:00.0 0200: 168c:001c (rev 01) | 18:21 |
| danage | yes | 18:22 |
| danage | ath5k will support it | 18:22 |
| danage | or wait | 18:22 |
| danage | madwifi | 18:22 |
| danage | SBTooth: you speak german? | 18:22 |
| danage | actually, both should support it but ath5k is too buggy at the moment. you can use a madwifi snapshot | 18:22 |
| SBTooth | ath5k is great when it is working | 18:23 |
| danage | it doesnt at the moment | 18:24 |
| danage | grab a hal 10 snapshot and modprobe it in | 18:24 |
| eagles0513875 | i just upgraded to the rc from hardy and now i have no network connection what so ever | 18:26 |

| freeksh0w86 | Is anyone getting the busybox prompt with 8.10 RC live cd? I get busybox after it does messages about "ext3" or whatever. openSUSE 11.1 beta boots just fine, however. | 18:34 |
| superkiwi | Hello, i'm installing Ubuntu 8.10 server edition, and the text installer is telling me to insert "ubuntu-Server 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release Candidate i386 (2008122.1)'. Ugh? It's only one cd available at the official website, and it is in the cdrom. | 18:35 |
| NET||abuse1 | is there anyway to just load the disk image onto the hard drive, and install by mounting the disc image inline then install? | 18:35 |
| eagles0513875 | NET||abuse1 i dunno | 18:35 |
| NET||abuse1 | The thing has xp on it, so maybe there's a way to setup an install from the hard drive? ... naw.. | 18:37 |
| Guest77984 | doesn't appear that 7.10 likes nvidia | 18:37 |
| eagles0513875 | NET||abuse1 im not sure tbh | 18:37 |
| eagles0513875 | Guest77984 i have 177 install just fine | 18:37 |
| Tom_Davis | question: will the linksys wpc54g pcmcia wireless adapter work this time? | 18:37 |
| NET||abuse1 | I lonly other question i have is,, on the eee 1000h, Hardy or Ibex? | 18:38 |
| Guest77984 | what card are you running? | 18:38 |
| eagles0513875 | only issue i had was my mouse and keyboard wouldnt work so i restored my backup x11.conf file over the corg.conf | 18:38 |
| eagles0513875 | Guest77984 8800gt | 18:38 |
| eagles0513875 | NET||abuse1 hardy | 18:38 |
| NET||abuse1 | eagles0513875: really? | 18:38 |
| superkiwi | The 8.10 server edition is fail. | 18:38 |
| Guest77984 | same | 18:38 |
| NET||abuse1 | eagles0513875: is there issues? | 18:38 |
| Tom_Davis | its fail? | 18:38 |
| Tom_Davis | how so? | 18:39 |
| superkiwi | it complains about putting my cd in. It's allready in | 18:39 |
| eagles0513875 | NET||abuse1 from just upgrading from hardy to intrepid im seeing more issues with intrepid then i was with hardy | 18:39 |
| danage | SBTooth: you won't be very lucky then | 18:39 |
| danage | as they are taking ath5k out of intrepid | 18:39 |
| Guest77984 | they only goofy thing i can think it might be is the bios sets 0:5:0 as the lead slot...sli board | 18:40 |
| superkiwi | as I see in the console, /cdrom is empty. Seem like it's not mounted or somethn. | 18:40 |
| Tom_Davis | ! | 18:40 |
| NET||abuse1 | eagles0513875: oh? I'm on interpid on my desktop, loving it,, some small nvidia glitches, but i'll likely not be able to run compiz on the eee | 18:40 |
| eagles0513875 | Guest77984 sli board as well didnt change anything in bios using default in there | 18:40 |
| NET||abuse1 | eagles0513875: alot of updates is the only issue at the moment, 5 days to launch i suppose means it's busy | 18:40 |
| NET||abuse1 | eagles0513875: what issues you got? | 18:40 |
| eagles0513875 | only problem im having is no connectivity with a wired network | 18:40 |
| eagles0513875 | NET||abuse1 no connectivity im on my laptop atm | 18:41 |
| eagles0513875 | desktop has no connection at all | 18:41 |
| eagles0513875 | its like the network modules were never loaded into the kernel | 18:41 |
| NET||abuse1 | just realised the eee has an sd card slot.... can you boot from sd? | 18:41 |
| eagles0513875 | NET||abuse1 only way to know is to try but tbh i dunno | 18:41 |
| pen | hi | 18:41 |
| eagles0513875 | never tried | 18:41 |
| Guest77984 | I'll try it again | 18:42 |
| ali1234 | NET||abuse1: google says you can | 18:42 |
| eagles0513875 | NET||abuse1 i would google around on www.google.com/linux | 18:42 |
| eagles0513875 | searches all linux related websites | 18:43 |
| NET||abuse1 | hmm, i have an 8GB SD, but i have an issue in that I still have to restore photos from that whicih I deleted on the girlf friend. | 18:43 |
| ali1234 | NET||abuse1: it seems that to boot ubuntu you need at least 2GB SD or USB | 18:43 |
| pen | how to suspend susccessfully? | 18:43 |
| NET||abuse1 | eagles0513875: hmm, nice .. worth a look | 18:43 |
| pen | I can't resume most of the time | 18:43 |
| pen | or I haven't successfully resume from suspend since I install 8.10 RC | 18:44 |
| eagles0513875 | tbh compared to me ur issues arent as frustrating | 18:44 |
| eagles0513875 | pen i have no network connectivity since i upgraded to 10 | 18:44 |
| ali1234 | NET||abuse1: a good tool for recovering deleted jpegs is called foremost | 18:44 |
| eagles0513875 | fyi thats off topic guys | 18:44 |
| pen | eagles0513875: what card do you have | 18:44 |
| pen | ali1234: how do you recover that? that's cool | 18:45 |
| pen | ali1234: foremost? | 18:45 |
| eagles0513875 | pen network card is built onto mobo which is an asus p5n-d | 18:45 |
| ali1234 | pen: it uses libmagic and greps through the raw disk image for any kind of files | 18:45 |
| ali1234 | at least i think it uses libmagic... maybe it has it's own implementation | 18:46 |
| pen | eagles0513875: integrated card usually work... | 18:46 |
| NET||abuse1 | ali1234: foremost work on linux? | 18:46 |
| eagles0513875 | pen thsi has occured since i upgraded to intrepid bout 2 hrs ago | 18:46 |
| ali1234 | NET||abuse1: only on linux afaik | 18:46 |
| NET||abuse1 | ohh, ok,, will it work on an sd card? | 18:47 |
| pen | eagles0513875: maybe you shouldn't upgrade? I don't know why but ubuntu upgrade is terrible | 18:47 |
| pen | never in my life time I can successfully upgrade without any problems | 18:47 |
| NET||abuse1 | ali1234: awsome,, if i get my eee installed and running, with the built in sd port... i can use that to try get photos back... awsome | 18:47 |
| pen | it's really annoying | 18:47 |
| ali1234 | NET||abuse1: yes it should. dont have the disk mounted while you run it though (it operates on the raw device node) | 18:47 |
| NET||abuse1 | yeh, perfect. | 18:47 |
| eagles0513875 | pen that makes me feel better | 18:48 |
| eagles0513875 | lol | 18:48 |
| NET||abuse1 | ali1234: thanks for that golden nuget :P) | 18:48 |
| NET||abuse1 | right, have to blow outa here.. | 18:48 |
| pen | eagles0513875: lol | 18:48 |
| ali1234 | NET||abuse1: oh one other thing, it doesnt distinguish between deleted/undeleted files... | 18:48 |
| pen | eagles0513875: I don't understand why can't ubuntu upgrade be more graceful | 18:49 |
| pen | but if you install from scratch, it always work perfectly | 18:49 |
| eagles0513875 | ya | 18:49 |
| eagles0513875 | and i dont wanna i got tons of data on here | 18:50 |
| NET||abuse1 | just found a 150/160GB wd passport drive, | 18:50 |
| NET||abuse1 | take stuff off that and boot from it. | 18:50 |
| NET||abuse1 | make it into boot drive? | 18:50 |
| eagles0513875 | NET||abuse1 i tried that idea with a usb external drive it didnt work for me | 18:51 |
| eagles0513875 | lol | 18:51 |
| eagles0513875 | then again its been a while since i tried it | 18:51 |
| NET||abuse1 | eagles0513875: awwww. | 18:51 |
| DanaG | Your system has to support USB boot. | 18:51 |
| ali1234 | pxe boot is handy for these laptops with no cdrom... | 18:51 |
| NET||abuse1 | ali1234: pxe? | 18:51 |
| NET||abuse1 | ali1234: must google. | 18:51 |
| DanaG | Are you talking about installing FROM, or installing TO, USB? | 18:51 |
| pen | NET||abuse1: it's possible | 18:51 |
| eagles0513875 | talking bout installing kubuntu or ubuntu to an external usb hd then booting from it | 18:52 |
| DanaG | Should be just as easy as installing to an internal drive. | 18:52 |
| DanaG | You just have to have a system that supports booting from USB. | 18:52 |
| ali1234 | ie anything less than about 8 years old | 18:52 |
| eagles0513875 | DanaG tried that with my other lappy which is 3 yrs old and it didnt work | 18:53 |
| pen | it works for me | 18:53 |
| mnemoc | it's more probable that a device support usb booting than pxe booting | 18:53 |
| pen | you just need your BIOS to support USB booting | 18:54 |
| DanaG | On my laptop, I have to hit F12 (or was it F10?) to trigger the boot menu. | 18:54 |
| mnemoc | on mine it's F8 :p | 18:55 |
| danage | eagles0513875: it is entirely possible and as DanaG said, quite easy | 18:55 |
| pen | mine is F9 | 18:56 |
| unavailable | how do i get kdm out of the shutdown reference? | 18:56 |
| DanaG | I can also set boot order, but I don't want it to always USB-boot. | 18:56 |
| danage | you can also permanently configure the computer so it will boot from usb first | 18:56 |
| danage | ^^ | 18:56 |
| MellowDude | i need some help with KDE4 | 18:56 |
| danage | ANY bios does, today | 18:57 |
| MellowDude | how i edit the xor.conf | 18:57 |

| coppro | on the python website or in the python-doc package | 19:39 |
| EyesOfARaven | admin_masu3701, i love python.. there's a tutorial right in the documentation | 19:40 |
| EyesOfARaven | admin_masu3701, after u get the basics i recommend just coding random stuff with the modules | 19:40 |
| batti5 | whare can i find a desktop snower for linux? | 19:40 |
| admin_masu3701 | EyesOfARaven: where to get the documentation? | 19:41 |
| os2mac | Ok this is mildly annoying. When I go to Places>Home Folder it opens filelight. how do I change that?/ | 19:41 |

| admin_masu3701 | EyesOfARaven: That is good..i would love to know how to program in it | 19:45 |
| admin_masu3701 | EyesOfARaven: what would be a good way to learn it ? | 19:45 |
| EyesOfARaven | admin_masu3701, there are good help channels for third party modules, and a main python help channel at #python on this server | 19:45 |
| EyesOfARaven | admin_masu3701, i recommend going to #python to ask for suggestions, but as i already said, i learned by making programs from random python modules, once i got the basics via tutorial | 19:46 |

| pen | any other mozilla media plugins I didn't know of? | 20:26 |

| edu__ | I think it could be related to V4L2, could it be the case? | 20:35 |
| edu__ | Because flash player 10 supports that, and it shows my webcam video properly | 20:35 |
| ml | hello... can someone recommend a cheap video card | 20:35 |
| danage | ebay | 20:35 |
| cpumanaz | does "defive-mapper target type "raid45" not in kernel mean anything to anybody? | 20:35 |
| edu__ | ml: you can find cheap video cards from nvidia and ati of their previous generations. | 20:36 |
| cpumanaz | ~device mapper | 20:36 |
| edu__ | I have an ati radeon 9200 which is fully supported by Xorg (3d and all) but it's a bit slow. Very cheap, though. | 20:36 |
| ml | edu__: has to be pci express tho | 20:37 |
| danage | ebay | 20:37 |
| danage | 15 bucks including shipping | 20:37 |
| edu__ | Ah, I see | 20:37 |
| ml | i just have no idea | 20:37 |
| noaxi | nekostar: you still there ? | 20:37 |
| edu__ | Perhaps 15 bucks is too cheap. :P | 20:37 |
| ml | it's for a dell insipiron 531 that has no dvdi | 20:37 |
| edu__ | dvi? | 20:38 |
| edu__ | I am not completely sure, but there may be adapters, vga to dvi. | 20:38 |
| ml | isn't the digital out of vic=d card dvi? | 20:38 |
| edu__ | yes | 20:38 |
| noaxi | the noapic was the only option actually needed to let the system boot normally | 20:38 |
| edu__ | Talking about cheese, could I try to fix things by completely deleting the app, then reinstalling it? | 20:39 |
| edu__ | Do any of you have a Dell Inspiron 1520? | 20:39 |
| ml | http://cgi.ebay.com/ATI-Radeon-128MB-X600SE-Video-Card-PCI-Express-DVI-16x_W0QQitemZ370100783486QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item370100783486&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 | 20:41 |
| ml | how abut that | 20:41 |
| ml | about that one | 20:41 |
| cpumanaz | I think it's because raid45 is not in the kernel on the live CD and so even if you go in afterwords and install it from the live CD it won't work | 20:41 |

| nekostar | noaxi ok | 21:06 |
| noaxi | not a hdd problem | 21:06 |
| nekostar | noaxi dell? | 21:06 |
| noaxi | toshiba | 21:06 |
| nekostar | notebook? | 21:07 |
| noaxi | yep | 21:07 |
| nekostar | ok | 21:07 |
| noaxi | i820 | 21:07 |
| nekostar | on the book do this: | 21:07 |
| nekostar | sudo nano /boot/grub/menu<tab> | 21:07 |
| admin_masu3701 | nekostar: what is freenode chennel? | 21:07 |
| nekostar | then in there: ctrl+w defo | 21:07 |
| nekostar | admin_masu3701 that one i gave to you #freenode thats where network support is ^^ | 21:07 |
| nekostar | noaxi for the defo == default options for grub replace the quiet, silent or w/e and put in this: | 21:08 |
| nekostar | acpi=off noacpi apic=off noapic | 21:08 |
| noaxi | prefer vi an / defo but what about it ? | 21:08 |
| nekostar | the four of them | 21:08 |
| nekostar | sure adapt to your fav ed | 21:08 |
| nekostar | ;) | 21:08 |
| nekostar | then when thats done: | 21:08 |
| admin_masu3701 | nekostar: ok | 21:08 |
| nekostar | sudo update-grub | 21:08 |
| nekostar | admin_masu3701 np ;) | 21:09 |
| noaxi | did that.. and in the meantime with noapic the system boots ok | 21:09 |
| noaxi | but this is not the way the resolve the ubutnu BUG | 21:09 |
| nekostar | noaxi both noapic and apic=off and then both noacpi acpi=off | 21:09 |
| nekostar | those are actually different | 21:09 |
| nekostar | dude i'm not writing code | 21:09 |
| nekostar | i'm not shelled in on it | 21:09 |
| nekostar | i'm making it work. | 21:09 |
| noaxi | noapic solved the probelm but does not remove the bug | 21:09 |
| nekostar | solution: some motherboard/cpu/ram/hdd/opticaldrive combos just need to be done that way | 21:10 |
| nekostar | for better stuff you might need a dev bro | 21:10 |
| nekostar | lol | 21:10 |
| nekostar | srry | 21:10 |
| noaxi | nekostar: it's a intrepid ibex only problem | 21:10 |
| nekostar | wth? | 21:10 |
| nekostar | oh | 21:10 |
| nekostar | then compile a diff kernel | 21:11 |
| nekostar | hm | 21:11 |
| noaxi | Busy with that.. | 21:11 |
| nekostar | say 2.6.26 | 21:11 |
| nekostar | go down one | 21:11 |
| nekostar | or up a couple ;D | 21:11 |
| noaxi | I saw a bugfix for a usb option that would look solving this problem | 21:12 |
| digdug | actually, that's not a bad suggestion for me to try getting my usb drive working | 21:12 |
| nekostar | ? | 21:12 |
| nekostar | digdug eh? | 21:12 |
| noaxi | in 2.6.27.3 | 21:12 |
| digdug | trying to compile a new kernel, I mean | 21:12 |
| nekostar | noaxi yeah see latest kernel prolly has some uglyish bug | 21:12 |
| nekostar | digdug oh thats really easy | 21:12 |
| nekostar | go to #debian | 21:12 |
| nekostar | <dpkg> To compile a kernel The Debian Way(tm) "apt-get install kernel-package build-essential libncurses5-dev" and follow the instructions in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz; You should also ask me about <make-kpkg> and <kp mantra>, or just http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html.en, or <kernel build-deps> | 21:13 |
| nekostar | <nekostar> make-kpkg | 21:13 |
| nekostar | <dpkg> well, make-kpkg is the tool that you use for compiling the kernel the Debian Way (tm). It makes a package for your custom kernel which you can install and remove easily using dpkg. See http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-kernel.html man make-kpkg and ask me about <kernel compile> <kp mantra> <kernel build-deps>. | 21:13 |
| nekostar | <nekostar> kp mantra | 21:13 |
| nekostar | <dpkg> kp mantra is probably make-kpkg clean ; export VER=$(date +'%Y%m%d') NAMEEXT="-$(hostname)-$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH)"; make-kpkg --revision=$VER --append-to-version=$NAMEEXT --rootcmd fakeroot kernel_image modules_image . Add --initrd before kernel_image if you need an initrd. | 21:13 |
| nekostar | worx every time | 21:13 |
| DJones | Does the nv driver still exist in Intrepid? if I try to update from hardy I get the warning that a driver for my nvidia card doesn't exist at the moment (old geforce2go in a laptop), as long as the nv still works, I know i can still get my 1600x1200 resolution, but if I had to drop to the vesa driver, I'm not sure if I'd be able to get that resolution | 21:13 |
| nekostar | DJones yeah | 21:13 |
| nekostar | nvidia-glx-xxx | 21:13 |
| nekostar | apt-cache search nvidia glx | 21:13 |
| nekostar | DJones also make sure you have jockey-gtk installed and just run that | 21:14 |
| DJones | nekostar: Thanks, I'd been putting off upgrading because of that | 21:14 |
| bsnider | the nvidia driver won't work with that old thing. the nv driver is still there and installed by default | 21:14 |

| pen | do anyone know why | 21:16 |
| pen | Openoffice is still 2.4 in RC? | 21:16 |
| bsnider | yeah, because they haven't had time to fix all of the bugs in 3.0 | 21:17 |
| bsnider | it will be backported in the next month or two | 21:17 |
| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | what is the absolute fastest and simplest to set up FTP server you can think of - all it needs to do is share one directory using built-in linux auth | 21:17 |

| san | I have a notebook with an atheros wireless device. In the beta I could use the wireless after I removed the linux-restricted-modules* packages. Now I updated to the RC I lost my wireless driver.. anyone got a clue?? | 21:19 |
| bsnider | san, ath5k has been disabled in the regular kernel in favour of a newer version in the backports package | 21:20 |
| sorush20 | Tom_Davis: done kpdf and okular anyone else | 21:20 |
| san | bsnider: so I have to enable backports to get my wifi working again? | 21:20 |
| bsnider | san, install the linux-backports package from synaptic | 21:21 |
| bsnider | reboot | 21:21 |
| san | bsnider: Do you know where can I find information like this in the future? | 21:22 |
| bsnider | i found it on launchpad | 21:22 |
| bsnider | and the mailing list showing changes made to packaes | 21:22 |
| san | bsnider: ah you've got the same issue :) | 21:22 |
| noaxi | I have yet another problem , of less importance, since most fb devices are blacklisted.. | 21:23 |
| bsnider | i use a different card now, but the ath5k driver was causing a hard lockup on this system. presumably the newer one doesn't have that issue | 21:23 |
| noaxi | when booting on a laptop a trident chipset with splash the tridentfb doesn't load.. | 21:24 |
| keithclark | How can I get rid of the ATI proprietary drivers and install the open drivers for an ATI Xpress 200 card? | 21:24 |
| noaxi | even after removing both vesafb and tridentfb from the blacklist | 21:24 |
| noaxi | with nosplash the tridentfb does load.. | 21:25 |
| sorush20 | Hi again.. is it possible if I can send the file to someone here? | 21:32 |
| sorush20 | so that they can see if they can print it? | 21:32 |
| sorush20 | I have used adobe acrobat and its no use. | 21:32 |
| EyesOfARaven | u can use dcc | 21:33 |
| EyesOfARaven | but u hav to find someone who wants to try it | 21:33 |
| sorush20 | dcc? | 21:36 |

| eagles0513875 | does anyoen know why or what keeps nerfing my resolv.conf after rebooting and even after a while of using the net the resolv.conf gets nerfed | 21:48 |
| wgrant | eagles0513875: NetworkManager. It has done so for several releases now. | 21:50 |
| eagles0513875 | this is the first time this has happened to me though | 21:51 |
| eagles0513875 | was doing this in hardy to a degree now in intrepid its completely nerfing the resolv.conf | 21:51 |
| wgrant | Then you are probably wrong. | 21:51 |
| eagles0513875 | maybe but now im noticing there is a problem with dns | 21:52 |
| wgrant | You're *not meant to edit resolv.conf if you are using NetworkManager* | 21:52 |
| wgrant | The comment at the top of the file tells you that. | 21:52 |
| eagles0513875 | then where do i tell knetwork manager what name servers to use | 21:52 |
| Tom_Davis | if youre using dhcp its automagic | 21:52 |
| eagles0513875 | im not | 21:52 |
| eagles0513875 | im using static ips on internal net | 21:52 |
| wgrant | Then edit the connection settings and choose your DNS servers. | 21:53 |
| Tom_Davis | unless they changed it, just edit /etc/network/interfaces and tell it | 21:53 |
| eagles0513875 | whats funny though after upgrading from hardy | 21:53 |
| eagles0513875 | interfaces file still has my ip and everything | 21:53 |
| wgrant | Why would an upgrade replace a user-modified config file silently? | 21:53 |
| wgrant | That would be stupid. | 21:54 |
| chadeldridge | why would it have gone away | 21:54 |
| eagles0513875 | what my resolv.conf | 21:54 |
| Tom_Davis | resolf.conf is not user modified | 21:54 |
| eagles0513875 | there is something really buggy with this upgrade | 21:55 |
| wgrant | Read the first couple of lines of resolv.conf. | 21:55 |
| eagles0513875 | there is only one line | 21:55 |
| wgrant | It's not that hard to work out that things are going to clobber it. | 21:55 |
| eagles0513875 | but now i created a new wired connection but for some reason it didnt appear in the list | 21:56 |
| wgrant | Which list? | 21:56 |
| eagles0513875 | knetowork manager connections list which u configure | 21:56 |
| wgrant | I'm aware. | 21:57 |
| eagles0513875 | is that a known bug out there | 21:58 |
| eagles0513875 | im out for now guys | 21:58 |
| wgrant | What bug!? | 21:59 |

| pwnguin | ripps: ssh is not sshd | 22:19 |
| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | joaopinto, how do i restart vsftpd | 22:19 |
| ripps | pwnguin: both computers have openssh-client and openssh-server installed | 22:19 |
| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | i guess i can killall | 22:19 |
| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | and then rerun it | 22:19 |
| joaopinto | EyesOfARaven, sudo /etc/inid./vsftp restart | 22:20 |

| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | i win | 22:20 |
| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | joaopinto, sudo /etc/init.d/vsftp restart does not work | 22:21 |
| pwnguin | ripps: lemme guess. they're on the same local network, and have private IPs | 22:21 |
| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | joaopinto, sudo /etc/init.d/vsftp restart wants a config file, and complains that the socket is taken if u do it | 22:21 |
| joaopinto | EyesOfARaven, define "does not work" | 22:21 |
| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | it says that it wants a config file, and restart isnt one | 22:21 |
| joaopinto | EyesOfARaven, have you installed the previous ftpd ? | 22:21 |
| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | ? | 22:21 |
| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | i have it working anyway | 22:21 |
| joaopinto | erm, uninstalled | 22:21 |
| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | just dunno how to restart it | 22:21 |
| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | and yes, i have | 22:21 |
| pwnguin | ripps: for the server you can't connect to, can you ssh localhost? | 22:21 |
| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | it is vsftpd that is keeping vsftpd from binding | 22:21 |
| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | i ran a killall | 22:22 |
| ripps | pwnguin: yes there on a local network, one connects to the router via ethernet, the other connects via wifi | 22:22 |
| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | then started it again via "vsftpd" | 22:22 |
| EyesOfAWin32Rvn | wud be handy to hav a cleaner way tho | 22:22 |
| joaopinto | EyesOfARaven, it works fine here, the restart | 22:22 |

| ripps | pwnguin: I'm able to user@localhost, but it gives some kind of eavesdropping warning about my rsa key | 22:23 |

| td123 | ArkoldThos: all I know is intel has a bug in their proprietary drivers which they know about but aren't fixing it... :/ | 22:39 |
| mr_polite | aguitel: you should confirm the md5 checksum on the ISO you downloaded and re-burn your CD; as slow as possible. if you can stand skipping the desktop and just want to install I'd suggest downloading the Alternative disc and installing from there. | 22:39 |
| ArkoldThos | not sure if something is going on with compoosing | 22:40 |
| wgrant | td123: Intel lacks proprietary drivers. | 22:40 |

| ArkoldThos | td123: their drivers are open sourced | 22:40 |
| ArkoldThos | well, i was able to play and all before update to intrepid a week ago or so | 22:40 |
| td123 | ArkoldThos: oh great, now they probably depend on the users to fix it then | 22:40 |
| ArkoldThos | but now i can't even select intel driver, it just crashes | 22:40 |
| wgrant | td123: Cease that at once. | 22:40 |

| bsnider | select the intel driver? | 22:41 |
| bsnider | not sure what you mean by that | 22:41 |
| ArkoldThos | that when i select it and try to get up the X crashes | 22:41 |
| wgrant | td123: First saying that there is a bug in the Intel proprietary drivers, and then spreading anti-FLOSS FUD. | 22:41 |

| Tecumseh | hi there, a question about nvidia drivers and kubuntu intrepid. I'm trying to set my display resolution to 1280x1024 but after every restart I get it back at 1024x768. Nvidia driver used is 177.80 through the resticted drivers applet (the recommended one). With nvidia x server settings I can add resolution 1280x1024 to my xorg config and use that to set my display resolution. After reboot or restart of x it is back again. | 22:43 |
| wgrant | td123: Spreading misinformation when users are asking for support is not pleasant. | 22:43 |
| wgrant | ArkoldThos: Try removing your xorg.conf. | 22:44 |
| ripps | pwnguin: I figured it out. It was ufw that was preventing ssh. | 22:44 |
| wgrant | You shouldn't need one any more. | 22:44 |
| td123 | wgrant: ok, so I got the proprietary part down, but I got the bug part right... | 22:44 |
| ArkoldThos | why? :o | 22:44 |
| wgrant | td123: We don't know that yet. | 22:44 |
| bsnider | it isn't used anymore | 22:44 |
| wgrant | ArkoldThos: Because X no longer sucks so much. | 22:44 |
| wgrant | bsnider: It is. | 22:44 |
| wgrant | It just isn't needed in so many circumstances any more. | 22:44 |
| td123 | wgrant: yes we do, the bug description is clearly stated on intel and the programs website.. | 22:44 |
| bsnider | it's used for proprietary drivers only | 22:44 |
| emilien | ArkoldThos: was going t run fsck , but gives me scary message ' WARNING! rungin fsck on mount system can cause SERVER damage' is it safe ? | 22:45 |
| wgrant | td123: Which? | 22:45 |
| td123 | wgrant: do you want links? | 22:45 |
| wgrant | bsnider: Or obscure input devices. Or Virtual settings for non-proprietary drivers. or any other Xorg options. | 22:45 |
| ArkoldThos | emilien: try getting on in safemode | 22:45 |
| wgrant | td123: Yes. | 22:45 |

| mr_polite | aguitel: you dont need a cd to upgrade just do: sudo update-manager -d | 22:45 |

| td123 | wgrant: this is the part were I get to say, "I told you so." :P | 22:50 |
| bofh80 | Tecumseh, i have the solution to this :D . after you setup the resolution correctly? using nvidia-settings? change the preferences on System > Preferences > Screen Resolution as well. this happened to me for a week before i realised what was going on | 22:50 |
| wgrant | td123: Where was Half-Life mentioned? | 22:51 |
| td123 | wgrant: its a bug in the driver... I don't have to mention anything | 22:51 |
| wgrant | What the? | 22:51 |
| wgrant | You can't just reference an application-specific crash that probably affects Windows only, and use that as evidence that the Xorg crash is caused by that bug in the -intel driver. | 22:52 |
| td123 | wgrant: it happens under linux | 22:52 |
| wgrant | It's also an application crash. | 22:53 |
| bsnider | you guys want to take this outside? | 22:53 |
| wgrant | Which probably means it's a bug in the application. | 22:53 |
| Tecumseh | bofh80: thought I tried that already, but just to be sure I'll do a check again with a restart of x and a reboot. Be back again | 22:53 |
| td123 | wgrant: because of the drivers... | 22:53 |
| wgrant | td123: or because of a bug in the application... | 22:53 |
| td123 | wgrant: it is an application crash because of the drivers, read link 1, 2, they say it 'Explicitly' | 22:53 |
| wgrant | Even if it is a bug in the drivers, it's just one bug which is irrelevant to the original issue. | 22:53 |

| pen | td123: are you using 8.10 too? | 22:54 |
| wgrant | td123: Can I prove irrefutably that a bug in Firefox is caused by Nautilus, because there is another bug in Nautilus? | 22:55 |
| td123 | wgrant: I'm sure if the manufacturer reports that it is a driver bug on the website... then I'm sure they have studied it to a point of coming to a conclusion | 22:55 |
| === Plz is now known as plz_ | ||
| emilien_ | im getting this error on boot Buffer I/O error , dev sr0, sector 187642 ran fsck in recover mood no errors | 22:56 |
| wgrant | td123: They report that it affects Half-Life. | 22:56 |
| wgrant | td123: They do not report anything further. | 22:56 |
| === plz_ is now known as Plz | ||
| emilien_ | feel might be related to cd-rom | 22:56 |
| wgrant | emilien_: That's the CD. | 22:56 |
| td123 | wgrant: so you're telling me the game runs perfect on every other graphics card but 945 and it is still a game bug? | 22:57 |
| Tecumseh | bofh80: thanks, it worked like a charm after restart of x. Think I tried it with kdesudo systemsettings before and not as regular user | 22:57 |
| wgrant | td123: It could be, but we're not discussing that bug. | 22:57 |
| emilien_ | wgrant: whats does that meen then ? my cd rom dead ? should i cumment out in fstab ? | 22:58 |
| bofh80 | Tecumseh, no problem that was driving me crazy. and i'd thought i'd set it before hand as well :) | 22:58 |
| wgrant | emilien_: Do you have a CD in the drive? | 22:58 |
| td123 | wgrant: why, cause you don't want me to quote the website again? :D | 22:58 |
| emilien_ | wgrant: as you mention it yes | 22:58 |
| td123 | wgrant: don't answer that question... this argument is terminated | 22:58 |
| emilien_ | wgrant: try with out | 22:58 |
| wgrant | td123: I cite https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wxmaxima/+bug/43150 as irrefutable evidence that that bug is in the graphics card. | 22:58 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 43150 in wxmaxima "[SRU] maxima frontends fail to connect" [Medium,Fix released] | 22:58 |
| Tecumseh | I must admit that it went smoother this time compared to alpha 5, a lot of improvements since then (as it should considering it's rc now) | 22:59 |
| bofh80 | Tecumseh, i grabbed at the first beta. is working a lot better since that as well. plenty of updates still come down, er, hourly tho. :) | 22:59 |
| td123 | wgrant: ya... judging by you linking to a random bug not on the manufacturer's website... just shows who won this conversation. So stubborn | 23:00 |
| mercutio22 | Hello. Can somone test whether evolution is capable to forward a message with an html message? | 23:00 |
| mercutio22 | I think its doing it | 23:00 |
| mercutio22 | I mean | 23:00 |
| wgrant | td123: It's a bug in Ubuntu. By your logic, that means they are the same bug. | 23:00 |
| mercutio22 | *not* doing it | 23:00 |
| td123 | wgrant: this bug is in ubuntu and windows | 23:01 |
| bsnider | mercutio22, send it to yourself | 23:01 |
| emilien_ | wgrant: by god you were right! boots amazingly fast now no erros | 23:01 |
| wgrant | emilien_: It could well be a dodgy CD. | 23:01 |
| mercutio22 | bsnider, duh, good call | 23:01 |
| wgrant | td123: That doesn't mean it's the same bug. | 23:01 |
| td123 | wgrant: I specifically said this bug doesn't just affect linux/windows | 23:01 |
| td123 | wgrant: omg... shut up.. it says it on the manufacturer's website | 23:01 |
| wgrant | td123: And I really don't care about that bug, as we don't know that it's even slightly relevant here. | 23:02 |
| emilien_ | wgrant: i installed ubuntu from that dodgy cd , oh dear | 23:02 |
| bsnider | i thought this argument was terminated? | 23:02 |
| td123 | wgrant: no but you keep arguing because you don't like to lose arguments | 23:02 |
| wgrant | td123: We have no idea whether it is the same bug as the one you linked to. | 23:02 |
| wgrant | td123: And your reason for continuing the argument is...? | 23:02 |
| NET||abuse | hey guys. just got a 1000h with xp, put ubuntu 8.10 i38 iso on to usb thumb drive, booted up on it :) quite happy.. Now, partitian decisions? boot part 220MB, swap 1GB which is equal to RAM, then have 78GB to split between /home and / | 23:02 |
| td123 | wgrant: my reason is because you keep typing... | 23:03 |
| wgrant | That is pathetic. | 23:03 |
| wgrant | This is over. | 23:03 |
| td123 | wgrant: you're pathetic | 23:03 |
| td123 | wgrant: I can't believe someone is so in denial of losing an argument | 23:04 |
| td123 | (*c*) <--- wgrant got ko'ed | 23:05 |
| wgrant | There is little need to resort to personal attacks. | 23:05 |
| === JontheEchinda is now known as JontheEchidna | ||
| td123 | wgrant: shut up | 23:05 |
| wgrant | Pleasant. | 23:05 |
| Tecumseh | NET||abuse: about depends on what you plan to install with it. Generally 10 GB is enough for /, I have 20 reserved for it but also a larger harddrive | 23:06 |
| td123 | wgrant: don't you just love acting like a troll? | 23:06 |
| dulak | hmmm, everything went really smooth in the upgrade except I can't enable desktop effects | 23:07 |
| * td123 decides wgrant is not worth talking to anymore... (he's a little ignorant) | 23:07 | |
| wgrant | HAHAHAHA | 23:07 |
| bofh80 | and let him never return | 23:07 |
| wgrant | Ignorant!? | 23:07 |
| bsnider | what a pointless argument. it's a bug either way. no matter what it's a bug in, neither of you can do a thing about it. | 23:08 |
| wgrant | We can do something about it. | 23:08 |
| bofh80 | those references he posted where not what you where talking about. and i didn't' see the original problem. did he even have the problem? or was he giving someone bogus information? | 23:08 |
| dulak | any clues about why desktop effects wouldn't let me enable even if the restricted driver is activated and running correctly? | 23:09 |
| wgrant | The original reporter reported something different to those links. | 23:09 |
| wgrant | So I proposed that it wasn't the same bug. | 23:09 |
| wgrant | This proposal was met with denial. | 23:09 |
| bsnider | dulak, which driver? | 23:09 |
| wgrant | Chaos ensued.; | 23:09 |
| NET||abuse | Tecumseh: so boot 200MB, swap == RAM (1GB), and rest between just 20GB for / and ~58GB for /home , or any other partitions? | 23:09 |
| dulak | bsnider: the nvidia 177 one | 23:09 |
| emilien_ | there not in repostries ? | 23:09 |
| dulak | bsnider: I think I found the problem actually | 23:10 |
| emilien_ | there not tremulous in repostries ? | 23:10 |
| bofh80 | is the original poster still about? he have problems with steam and halflife/cs (original ones?) i use them, haven't installed them again yet tho . . | 23:10 |
| dulak | nvidia restricted requires SSE but I don't have a new enough cpu for that | 23:10 |
| bofh80 | dulak, hmm, i though yuo said your pc was 1ghz ? | 23:10 |
| wgrant | bofh80: He never mentioned Half-Life at all. | 23:11 |
| dulak | it's a amd 1g thunderbird | 23:11 |
| dulak | but no sse | 23:11 |
| bofh80 | wgrant, LOL | 23:11 |
| bofh80 | dulak, really? i thought they all had that by the 1ghz mark | 23:11 |
| dulak | apparently not, I just checked /proc/cpuinfo and no sse | 23:11 |
| bsnider | wgrant, is there an ubunut dev with enough experience to patch the intel graphics driver? | 23:12 |
| bofh80 | dulak, damned :S | 23:12 |
| wgrant | bsnider: We do all the time, just not much in those areas. | 23:12 |
| wgrant | I've fixed bugs in code that I don't understand much of. Good code is like that. | 23:12 |
| bofh80 | dulak, oh must be another acronym i'm thinkin off, SSE only intel p4 and AMD 64 UP :S | 23:13 |
| wgrant | bofh80: MMX, perhaps? | 23:13 |
| bsnider | i wouldn't want to try to patch packard's code unless i knew a lot about it (in other words, unless i was packard) | 23:13 |
| wgrant | Right, but some bugfixes are small enough that it's quite feasible to do it oneself. | 23:14 |
| Tecumseh | sorry NET||abuse, been away for a sec. Yeah, that's the general idea. A seperate home is definitly a good practice | 23:14 |
| NET||abuse | Tecumseh; just hoping 20GB for / is enough | 23:14 |
| Tecumseh | NET||abuse: why the seperate boot? That is not needed | 23:14 |
| NET||abuse | oh, ok, | 23:15 |
| NET||abuse | what order should partitions be in? | 23:15 |
| dulak | this is kinda crappy, the older driver from envy worked fine, now I get no 3d | 23:15 |
| NET||abuse | i know there's some concern about putting certain partitions at the front block of the drive | 23:15 |
| wgrant | dulak: You can think nvidia's proprietary drivers for that. | 23:15 |
| wgrant | s/think/thank/ | 23:15 |
| Tecumseh | no particular order needed, but I generally put / first and swap last | 23:16 |
| dulak | mmmm I gotta figure out how to go back to the working driver from envy | 23:16 |
| bsnider | dulak, what? | 23:16 |
| wgrant | dulak: In Intrepid that's not possible. | 23:16 |
| bsnider | what are you talking about? | 23:16 |
| wgrant | dulak: The problem revolves around our newer xserver. | 23:16 |
| NET||abuse | Tecumseh: ah, ok,,, well, thanks :) Just from the live boot off the usb stick, the 3d drivers work! i'm amazed, wobbly windows on eee pc | 23:16 |
| dulak | so basically I'm buggered for 3d | 23:16 |
| bsnider | dulak, what card do you have? | 23:17 |
| bofh80 | dulak, ahh now i see i was lookin at SSE2, SSE was supported in pIII (which makes my understanding of the 1gh correct) but AMD only put in their Athlon XP chips up | 23:17 |
| dulak | nvidia 6200 LE | 23:17 |
| Tecumseh | NET||abuse: I don't know if there are extra considerations for the EEE pc though, can't think of any but you might want to check that out first | 23:17 |
| bsnider | that card does work with the 177 driver | 23:17 |
| NET||abuse | Tecumseh: considerations? | 23:18 |
| dulak | I'm running the 177 driver and glxinfo says the driver requires SSE | 23:18 |
| wgrant | dulak: Unless you can convince nvidia to fix their drives, yes. | 23:18 |
| NET||abuse | Tecumseh: as long as i can get the wifi to work, i can worry about everything else later :) | 23:18 |
| wgrant | Gah. Stupid new keyboard. | 23:18 |
| dulak | So I have 2d out of 177, but no 3d cuz my cpu is just a little too old | 23:18 |
| bofh80 | dulak, if you run dmesg does it report any errors loading the driver ? | 23:18 |
| NET||abuse | Tecumseh: well, 3d seems to be working straight out of the box, intel 945 chipset.. wifi isn't yet. the physical nic i havn't tried.. sooo hopefully that'll be ok.. | 23:19 |
| bsnider | dulak, what's the message if you run "compiz --replace" out of a terminal? | 23:19 |
| Tecumseh | NET||abuse: do you run the standard 8.10 or 8.10 eee-edition | 23:19 |
| Tecumseh | physical nics mostly work out of the box | 23:19 |
| dulak | no errors in dmesg for loading nv stuff | 23:19 |
| NET||abuse | Tecumseh: oh, standard i386 iso | 23:19 |
| NET||abuse | Tecumseh: urr. should i get eee version? | 23:20 |
| NET||abuse | Tecumseh: didn't even know there was one. | 23:20 |
| petererer | is it me, or does intrepid not have an -rt kernel? | 23:20 |
| dulak | it says xgl not present from compiz --replace | 23:20 |
| Tecumseh | it just came up in google, this thread also came up that might help you with the wifi: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=414580 | 23:20 |
| dulak | texture_from_pixmap not present as well | 23:20 |
| bsnider | xgl? that has nothing to do with it | 23:20 |
| petererer | ah, it's not me | 23:20 |
| bsnider | dulak, are you sure the nvidia driver is loaded? | 23:21 |
| NET||abuse | Tecumseh: hmm, nice, thanks.. willread the heck outa that! | 23:21 |
| Tecumseh | NET||abuse: yw, goodluck with it | 23:22 |
| dulak | bsnider: I am absolutely sure nvidia 177 is loaded | 23:23 |
| dulak | bsnider: it's saying it's my cpu that is the problem, so I'm only getting 2d | 23:23 |
| openstandards | Hi | 23:23 |
| ripps | So, does anybody think DRI2 will be ready for Ubuntu+2 or +3 | 23:23 |
| NET||abuse | Tecumseh: cheers :) just cleared commited the partitions :) | 23:24 |
| dulak | bsnider: I can live with it, I was gonna push my current gaming rig down to be my linux box soon anyways, that's a much better cpu and video | 23:24 |
| openstandards | I'm having problems with dvd playback and use only a ide dvd writter from my understanding it doesn't matter if dma is on, correct? | 23:25 |
| dulak | other than that issue which is nvidia being stupid, I had zero issues upgrading from hardy to intrepid, I'm very impressed | 23:26 |
| mo0n_sniper | is the ubuntu 8.10 xserver performance bug fixed? | 23:29 |
| limecat | every time i try to open a DVD through totem, the comp locks up, ram usage skyrockets, and the disk slowly spins up, until totem crashes after 2 minutes | 23:31 |
| limecat | is there a way to fix this :\ got all the dvd codecs etc, and disk plays fine in vlc | 23:32 |
| bsnider | dulak, you might have a parochial xorg.conf file. can you pastebin it? | 23:34 |
| dulak | bsnider: sure, sec | 23:34 |
| wgrant | Aren't we sure that it's because of the old CPU? | 23:36 |
| bsnider | wgrant, he's trying to load compiz and it's talking about "xgl", which the nvidia driver doesn't use or need | 23:37 |
| wgrant | bsnider: It will use Xgl if it is present. | 23:37 |
| wgrant | That's why it's checking. | 23:37 |
| wgrant | But that is normal. | 23:37 |
| dulak | bsnider: http://paste.ubuntu.com/62629/ | 23:38 |
| wgrant | The problem is that the CPU doesn't support SSE. That's all. | 23:38 |
| dulak | I'm pretty sure that's the problem too, I read a bunch of people with my cpu type bitching about it | 23:38 |
| === scientus_ is now known as scientus | ||
| Tom_Davis | well for the most part xubuntu-desktop installs an works right | 23:39 |
| dulak | This is the first upgrade of linux I've ever done in 12 years running linux that had zero issues | 23:40 |
| dulak | I'm incredibly impressed with that | 23:40 |
| Tom_Davis | dont say that too loud | 23:41 |
| bsnider | dulak, so i guess compiz has never worked ont hat box | 23:41 |
| dulak | bsnider: it did in hardy when I used envy to install the older driver | 23:41 |
| bsnider | which older driver? | 23:41 |
| dulak | I believe the version was 150-something | 23:42 |
| bsnider | you could try the 173 driver. it supports your card | 23:42 |
| wgrant | bsnider: 17[37] newly require SSE. | 23:42 |
| bsnider | although i don't think that would fix it | 23:42 |
| dulak | apparently 173 is the version they started the SSE required thing | 23:42 |
| wgrant | There is no solution for this problem with this hardware. | 23:43 |
| dulak | it's ok, seriously I am almost ready for a new gaming rig and when I do that I'll push down my gaming rig to be my linux box and I'll have all the bells and whistles | 23:43 |
| dulak | I can live without the cube for a month or two | 23:43 |
| bsnider | is it possible to have a laptop automatically hibernate after an hour suspended? | 23:43 |
| Jordan_U | How can I get mplayer with support for the compiz video plugin, I have tried compiling with the patch mentioned @ http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Plugins/Video but make fails and I can't find anything even remotely like documentation on this patch | 23:44 |
| Jordan_U | bsnider: You can do suspend2both which will suspend to disk in case you completely loose battery but still keep RAM alive as long as possible for a faster wake | 23:45 |
| ripps | Suspend finally works now, but Network Manager becomes useless afterwards. Is there anyway to resolve this issue? | 23:49 |
| wgrant | ripps: "useless" is a useless term. | 23:49 |
| ripps | wgrant: It's permanently stuck in disconnected mode and it won't detect anything with my wifi card | 23:52 |
| wgrant | ripps: Which variety of wireless card? | 23:52 |
| ripps | wgrant: rt2500 (linksys) | 23:52 |
| wgrant | Hmm, no idea. | 23:53 |
| coppro | ripps: I experience the same thing, but even off a straight boot | 23:53 |
| coppro | I just kill networkmanager and connect manually | 23:53 |
| Tom_Davis | woohoo they fixed the ali15x3 problem! | 23:53 |
| DigitalFiz | anyone have any ideas on how to fix my VirtualBox now that ive installed 8.10? is there something i have to recompile? | 23:54 |
| ripps | coppro: I can never get my card to connect manually, but perhaps I'm doing it wrong | 23:55 |
| coppro | ripps: ifconfig <interface> up; iwconfig <interface> <bunch of parameters>; dhclient <interface> | 23:55 |
| coppro | (all as root/sudo) | 23:55 |
| ripps | coppro: that's what I thought, but It would always fail at the last part. | 23:56 |
| coppro | ripps: with or without networkmanager on? | 23:56 |
| bsnider | Jordan_U, how do you suspend to both? | 23:56 |
| ripps | coppro: last time I tried it was from Recovery mode | 23:56 |
| ripps | so no NetworkManager | 23:57 |
| Smegzor | When I upgraded recently, there were some errors in 3 packages and I didn't see the upgrade do its cleaning up phase. Does that mean there are temporary files hanging around? | 23:57 |
| coppro | hmm | 23:57 |
| ripps | coppro: Though, it's been a couple weeks since I tried, perhaps the issue has been resolved since then | 23:58 |
| ripps | I'll write up a script and try it again some time | 23:58 |
