Riddellhugs to ScottK-laptop's daughter!00:08
ScottK-laptopRiddell: She could follow the instructions just fine and she's not very technical.00:08
rgreeningnp. still doing more.. just waiting fer dl to complete on DVD and CD00:08

* ScottK-laptop doesn't allow that sort of thing.00:09
ScottK-laptop;-)00:09
* a|wen is scout troop leader for kids that age ... they deserve a hug when they do something good :P00:12
a|wenScottK-laptop: and dist-upgrade testing surely is in that category :)00:12
ScottK-laptopThat's abusive parenting.  Different issue.00:13

ScottK-laptopActually it isn't.00:19
ScottK-laptopThat link will redirect to launchpadlibrarian which is http.00:19
a|wenoh ... that's bad then00:20
* a|wen thinks he should be notified by that by kate00:20
a|wenhmm; opening a http link from konversation doesn't work on a fresh 8.10 install ... after installing firefox opening links now works (they open in firefox)00:34

* Hobbsee glares at the uni00:50
txwikinger2What's wrong with the Uni?00:50
Hobbseelooks like they've put in a harder firewall00:50
Hobbseelooks like they're only allowing 80, 443, and 22 only inside uni00:51
txwikinger2A firewall is just an invitation for circumvention00:51
=== txwikinger2 is now known as txwikinger
Hobbseethat's true00:52
a|wenHobbsee: ssh -D is your friend then00:52
Hobbseebut I can't even ping outside the uni...00:52
txwikingerwell.. stopping ping is easy00:52
Hobbseea|wen: how exactly do I use that?00:53
a|wenHobbsee: "ssh -D 8080 example.com" ... you now have a socks proxy on localhost:8080 through your ssh-connection00:54
txwikingeryou can also an ajax ssh aplication00:54
txwikingerrun00:55
Hobbseea|wen: but, what port do i use to get into the example?00:55
txwikingerthe one that goes through the Uni proxy00:55
Hobbseeso 80 or 443.  right.00:55
txwikingerOr are you saying that they allow no surfing outside the uni anymore?00:56
a|wenHobbsee: start by issuing the command (replacing example.com with whatever your server outside uni is called) ... now open interned settings, tick socks proxy and write "localhost:8080"00:56
a|wens/interned/internet/00:57
Hobbseetxwikinger: they only do on 80 and 443.00:57
a|wenHobbsee: oh ... the ssh -D only solves your problem if port 22 is open00:58
Hobbseea|wen: that's what I thought.00:58
txwikingerWell, you need to have a server outside that runs sshd on port 8000:58
txwikingeror 44300:59
txwikingerthat's how I did it before00:59
txwikingeror that has a firewall that does the reverse translation00:59
Hobbseetxwikinger: do i need to do anything special if i put it on 443?00:59
txwikingerNo01:00
txwikingerYou can configure sshd on any port01:00
txwikingerAs usual, only root can allocate ports <100001:00
txwikingerbut that is the same as 2201:00
Hobbseestill no dice.01:01
Hobbseedebug1: Connecting to hobbsee.com [64.62.190.244] port 443.01:01
txwikingerwhat is running on that port on hobbsee.com?01:02
Hobbseetxwikinger: sshd, it should be.01:03
txwikingerand you do ssh -p 443 <username>@hobbsee.com ?01:03
Hobbseetxwikinger: yes01:04
txwikingerwell.. that should usually work01:04
Hobbseethat's what I would have thought.01:04

rgreeningheh03:26
rgreeningwe need writers/marketing doods03:27

* ScottK-laptop finally got the kid's computer booted in Intrepid.04:17
ScottK-laptopThanks NCommander.04:17
NCommanderScottK-laptop, I highly recommend you never turn that machine off :-P04:17
ScottK-laptopOf course I had to cannabalize the LCD monitor from my wife's computer to do it.04:17
ScottK-laptopYeah, well never ship a new kernel and I'll never reboot it.04:18
ScottK-laptopSo I cranked the resolution down.  Now I'll switch back.04:18
NCommanderrofl04:19
ScottK-laptopYou promised me a boot option to fix this ....04:19
NCommanderpossible04:20
NCommanderI don't know of any offhand04:20
ScottK-laptopOK, well I either plugged the monitor back in or bent a bunch of pins.  I'll know in a minute04:21
ScottK-laptopNCommander: There's a BIOS option for hard disk pre-delay.  Does cranking that up help here?04:22
ScottK-laptopAnd how is it usplash knows enough to determine the right display mode, but X doesn't?04:25
ScottK-laptopIt's back to display out of range again after the reboot.04:27
* ScottK-laptop reads man xrandr04:27
ScottK-laptopUrgh04:30
ScottK-laptopxrandr only works when you're in the running X session.04:31
* ScottK-laptop is running short on ideas.04:31
ScottK-laptopNCommander: Monitor specs say Max Resolution - 1600 x 1200 / 75 Hz04:35
NCommanderScottK, it reads it from a config file04:37
NCommanderScottK, you might need to manually hack your xorg file04:37
ScottK-laptopUrgh.04:37
ScottK-laptopBut I don wanna04:37
ScottK-laptopOnce it boots again I'll look through the old ones and see if anything seems appealing.04:39
* NCommander nods04:39
nixternalScottK-laptop: boot into safe mode, go into system settings, and then advanced, and then services...uncheck that randr crap04:40
NCommanderYou probably need to set the resolution04:40
nixternalthat fixed my issues this week04:40

ScottK-laptoprgreening: I've been throught reconfiguring04:42
nixternalScottK-laptop: you can't even set a bogus modeline in xorg.conf to let you in?04:42

ScottK-laptop.kde only gets touched if a user has logged in, so if I'm going to revert to Hardy, the only user that's screwed is the one I've used, right?12:52
rgreeningJontheEchidna: your bug. could be a pci routing issue. have you tried moving the card to a different slot or enabling some of the apic/pci work-arounds...simply disabling the pci card seems to point in that direction. especially the preempt crash line. If the pci code is hung up, preemp could crash (I think)12:52

ScottK-laptopRegular ext313:01
rgreeninglots seem to have the issue, but all with lvm/raid13:01
usrok, mornfall: thank you you for your answer. Adept 2.0 was slow, but 3.0 is very good, their search filter is very fast. Now it is even faster than synaptic. I think that you are doing a great work with Adept 3.0.13:01
ScottK-laptoprgreening: If you remember the Intel boards that wouldn't work in Linux for a while because Intel planned to ship with no ATA at all and slapped a Jmicron ATA controller on at the last minute?13:01
ScottK-laptopThis is one of those.13:01
rgreeninglol13:01
rgreeningcheck the old hardy kernel and see if a patch existed for it. maybe it wasn't applied for the new tree... and should be13:02

mornfallGlad to be of help.13:05
rgreeningScottK-laptop: or isn't loading...13:05
ScottK-laptoprgreening: It's the SATA one it can't find.13:05
ScottK-laptopIt's a timing issue somehow because if I wait a minute or two and exit initramfs, the boot is fine.13:05
rgreeningyeah, cause something is probing and forcing the right module ot load. might need to force it manually/sooner... or add a rootdelay13:06

rgreeningat least you have a work around, just need to report to initramfs dev to look at13:35

* ScottK-laptop tries 9013:37
rgreeningScottK-laptop: I would suggest...13:37
ScottK-laptopYou suggest it's an initramfs bug?13:37
rgreeningpossibly. Try an older initramfs and do the update-initramfs -u with an older one and see if it works.13:37
ScottK-laptopSeems scary.13:38
rgreening:)13:38
rgreeningbut we devs deal in scary all the time13:38
rgreeningand its halloween13:38
ScottK-laptopI think for this morning, I'll be happy with rootdelay= some right number.13:40
* ScottK-laptop hands NCommander some rootdelay=13:41
ScottK-laptoprgreening: 90 works.  Thanks for the help.13:41
rgreeningScottK-laptop: np13:42
NCommanderAh, so that was it13:42
rgreeningupdate the bug and assign initramsf to it.13:42
ScottK-laptopOK.  Well it's a work around.13:42
rgreeningsee if they can reason why the delay is necessary13:42
ScottK-laptopI'm also going to release note it.13:42
rgreeningdon't send money, just crispy cream donuts... their icing is crack13:43
ScottK-laptopyeah.13:44
ScottK-laptoprgreening: What package does initramfs live in?13:48
ScottK-laptopBusybox?13:49
rgreening1 se c13:49
rgreeningyes13:49
ScottK-laptopThanks13:49
rgreeningdpkg -L busybox-initramfs13:51
rgreeningI think that's the correct one.13:51
rgreeningScottK-laptop: might want to add initramfs-tools too13:56
ScottK-laptopI started there.  That one doesn't exist in Intrepid.13:57
rgreeningwhat?13:57
rgreeningdpkg -S initramfs-tools13:57
apacheloggerrgreening: we are not, kubotu is13:58
ScottK-laptoprgreening: Nevermind.  I can't use Launchpad.  But we all knew that.13:59
rgreeninglol13:59
rgreeningScottK-laptop: anything in /etc/modprobe.d/initramfs14:03
* ScottK-laptop looks14:03
ScottK-laptopFile doesn't exist14:03
rgreeningok. nothing blacklisted14:03
rgreeningI think the problem is initramfs-tools on further looking.14:04
ScottK-laptopOK.  Added that one.14:05
ScottK-laptopEventually something will stick.14:05
rgreeninglol14:05
* ScottK-laptop moves on to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingXAutoconfiguration14:06
* rgreening thinks ScottK-laptop needs to download an older initramfs-tools and update with that one14:06
* jjesse is glad his upgrade to intrepid was as painful14:08
ScottK-laptoprgreening: It boots.  I'm happy.  Currently it only displays with the LCD off my wife's computer.  She gets back in town tomorrow ...14:09
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: you should fix your HTML engine14:09
rgreeningI never seem to have any reall problems (other than the wireless hiccups during alpha)14:09
ScottK-laptopThis is the first time in a long time I've had any trouble.14:09
rgreeningScottK-laptop: :)14:09
rgreeningScottK-laptop: do you get and .xsession-errors or kdm.log or Xorg.0.log with an indication of what is detected/failed?14:10
rgreeningyou should pastebin them for me... I'll look14:10
ScottK-laptopJust starting to look.  OK.14:10
ScottK2I'm multiplying14:12
jjesseor cloning yourself?14:13
rgreeningRiddell: in the OEM GUI install, should we not link the Add/Remove or Adept in the folderview? and maybe have a quickstart readme on how OEM's can install/customize/brand (or a link to such docs)? Too late for Intrepid, but what about Jaunty14:14
jjessergreening: propose a blueprint?14:15
rgreeningyeah, will likely do that. I need to know what currently exists for OEM's. Then I'll gladly do up a spec.14:16
ScottK2I think my problem is that the graphics card will do more than the monitor and X is auto configuring based on just the card.14:18
apacheloggerryanakca: can we somehow get rid of the sidebar for the release news?14:24
apacheloggerlooks pretty supid14:24
apacheloggermaybe create a special content type and do some magic stuff to not display the left region for that type at all?14:25
ryanakcaapachelogger: on the left side? What would happen if a user thinks ``Oh, this is really cool, I want it'' while reading the release news but can't find the prominent download button14:26
apacheloggerthen we add a download button14:26
Riddellrgreening: seems sensible14:27
ryanakcaapachelogger: ok. and, got carried away with other things, before I stick on the planet, any objections to http://blog.ryanak.ca/archives/uncategorized/13 ?14:29

apacheloggerryanakca: you are aware that we will end up with loads of nerdwork? ;-)14:32
apacheloggerryanakca: looking good otherwise14:32
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: the news needs some structure14:32
apacheloggerhttp://www.kubuntu.org/news/8.04-release14:33
rgreeningRiddell: should I blueprint this up? A more fleshed out OEM spec... and is there any OEM docs out there for Kubuntu (or Ubuntu)?14:33
ryanakcaapachelogger: yes. doesn't mean we need to take it all, and if they use [Kubuntu Intrepid], it's good advertising :)14:33
apacheloggerryanakca: I doubt the advertisyness of nerdwork :P14:34
* apachelogger has a unique POV on nerdwork vs. artwork anyway14:34
jjessehow do you add a screenshot to a wiki? never uploaded an image before14:36
jjessewas going to upload my dekstop on my dell mini 914:36
ryanakcaapachelogger: there, fixed it up, better?14:37
ScottK2rgreening: It looks like the video driver is reporting back nothing about the display and so if the display can automatically cope, it's OK ...  otherwise, not.14:44

rgreeningRiddell: for Jaunty, would it be beneficial to extend update-notifier-kde right-click menu for About, Help, and possibly show the dist/devel upgrade options (maybe via an advanced popup) to allow users to access the upgrade that way? Maybe make a persistant version of the icon for the systray?16:58
