MAXIMUMhey guys00:17
MAXIMUMany one here uses ubuntu 9.04 alpha can reprot any niticible performance gain00:18
DanaGI had to go back to Intrepid; I couldn't deal with the hanging in fglrx or radeon, or the slowness in radeonhd.01:33
crimsunnot surprising.  there will be more breakage soon.01:34
RAOFcrimsun: Anything in particular, or just the unbottling after UDS?01:35
crimsunRAOF: liable to be some sound breakage, but it won't affect people who don't deviate from from default Ubuntu config.  Definitely the latter, though.01:38
DanaGI also have failure to boot with acpi enabled.01:40
RAOFDanaG: Everyone's favourite kernel bug.01:41
DanaGBut handily, I can use AMT Serial-Over-LAN to get messages... even in the case of a panic!01:41
WelshDragonBring on the breakage \o/...as long as it's not libc01:42
crimsunok, want some initramfs breakage?  how about pam?01:44
DanaGNaah, I'd rather use butter.01:44
DanaG=รพ01:44
WelshDragonWell i very rarely reboot, even when it asks be do...So i could probably live with that =D01:44
WelshDragon(what's initramfs?) =P01:44
crimsunok, how about upstart, bash, ar, tar, gzip, dpkg, and e2fsprogs, then?01:47
DanaGWas the breakage of fglrx based on kernel, or based on xorg?01:47
WelshDragonthat could be slightly annoying crimsun =(01:47
DanaGI'm wondering if I would be able to use the Jaunty kernel on Intrepid, for the spiffy accelerometer driver.01:47
crimsunWelshDragon: nothing that can't be worked around using a live cd01:48
crimsunDanaG: you can, normally01:48
WelshDragoncrimsun, indeed, but still very annoying for my only machine =P (shhh on the shouldn't be using it) =D01:49
WelshDragonI trust the devs not to break anything vital...01:49
crimsunhmm?  oh no, I encourage others to use it.  just be aware.01:50
crimsunwe definitely need more testers earlier.01:50
crimsunyeah, the caveat is to use it in a throw-away, e.g., vm or secondary machine01:50
DanaGI'm leaving my Jaunty 32-bit install on my old drive, so I can still USB boot it to test.01:50
DanaGI've just installed a new Intrepid 6-bit on the new hard drive.01:51
WelshDragonWell i don't really do much 'testing'...I just like to have the very latest =)01:51
WelshDragonoh btw, the 2.6.29 kernel in jaunty...That'd be an impossibility right?01:51
DanaGoh yeah, the mute key on this laptop is odd... it does hardware mute of internal speakers, AND software hotkey through wmi.01:52
DanaGThat's actually a pretty good design (the doing it in hardware, not the going over wmi) -- it means that no matter where I am, I can ALWAYS be able to mute.01:52
WelshDragonDanaG, What if you wanted to hear the beep though? but mute the speakers =\01:53
crimsunWelshDragon: impossible?  no.  scheduling is tricky.01:53
DanaGOh yeah, you know of any kernel developers who would have a use for a cardbus Audigy2?  I can no longer use mine, due to lack of cardbus slot.  I'm thinking it'd be nice to just randomly give it to some kernel developer, or something, who could make good use of it.01:54
WelshDragoncrimsun, Oh right kk, Just curious cause i heard the suspend issues should be fixed in that kernel? not sure if that's right or not ^^01:54
crimsunDanaG: well, what do you mean make good use of it?  improve the driver?01:54
crimsun(otherwise I'd freecycle or CL it)01:54
DanaGThat's one fitting answer.01:54
DanaGThe only thing is, the plastic on mine has completely cracked to pieces.  It still works, but it has the sticking-out PCB bare.01:55
WelshDragonlol DanaG how'd that happen?01:56
DanaGThey used quite brittle plastic -- just having it in my laptop bag (not in the laptop) while carrying it was enough.01:56
WelshDragonahh01:56
DanaGAT Translated Set 2 keyboard: unable to handle keycode 46502:06
DanaGArgh, fglrx is broken on Intrepid, too, for me.03:00
DanaGhttp://pastebin.com/f76ab289503:00
DanaGHooray for Serial-Over-LAN!03:00
linuxman410has anyone else tried ubuntu 9.04 beta yet03:15
bazhangits still an early alpha..03:16

Xsss4hellhi19:08
Xsss4hellyou rock!19:08
Xsss4helljaunty runs stable altough alpha :) hope it stays so!19:08
Xsss4hellI installed apache,ssh,git.cvs.svn,bzr,ldap,php and MANY MANY more.. around 3GB applications in one big heap19:09
Xsss4hellmy fav apps.. and it worked fine19:10
Xsss4hellWhat you could do is integrating an Optimized Font configuration, which is missing in every distro without exception.19:11
=== _magnetic is now known as foolano
Xsss4hellsharped cleared antialiased fonts19:12
Xsss4hellJaunty is significantly faster than Intrepid19:12
Xsss4hellI think, what you will have to do now or later is verifiying dependancies of applications removing unnecceary libraries files folders and code.19:15
ikoniawait until you get differentn kernel/libc before making that judgment19:15
Xsss4hellikonia: Linux SGC-Abydoss 2.6.28-2-generic #3-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 4 21:49:06 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux19:16
ikoniaI don't think they will run with .2819:16
Xsss4hellikonia: what won't run with .28?19:17
ikoniaI mean I don't think .28 is the final kernel19:17
ikoniaas in jaunty won't "run" as in go along with .28 as the final release19:17
ikoniaI'd  expect .29 in a few weeks19:17
ikonia(only my opinion19:17
Xsss4hellikonia: ah, yeah of course I'm sure it isn't the final. The Kernel dev's are working very hard, on it. They work on the next version of the kernel just after releasing the stable19:19
calcikonia: i'm pretty sure they are sticking with .2819:19
calc.28 isn't even released yet according to kernel.org anyway, just .28-rc719:20
Xsss4hellah.. it depends on the freeze man :P19:20
Xsss4hellif he freezes it it freezes :P19:20
Xsss4hellhihi19:20
calcXsss4hell: well i'm just going by what i heard the actual Ubuntu guys say in person at FOSSCamp19:20
* calc just does OOo himself, not a kernel guy19:21
Xsss4hellcool19:21
calcjust like we will only have OOo 3.0.1 in Jaunty19:22
calcwell that is also partially caused by the fact upstream won't likely actually release 3.1 until after Jaunty anyway, heh19:22
Xsss4hellcalc I hope you won't have OOo 3.x in jaunty, it is very unstable. I've worked over two weeks with it.19:30
Xsss4hellcrashy thing19:30
calcXsss4hell: 3.0.1 should be better and we have lots of go-oo patches on it so its better than Sun's version in any case19:31
* calc bbiab19:32
Xsss4hellI'm not sure dude.19:32
Xsss4helleven Office 2007 running in codeweavers was more stable.19:32
Xsss4hellhad the recent version of it directly from openoffice.org19:33
calcback19:39
calcoh i have no doubt standard OOo 3 is buggy as hell, they keep pushing back the release of 3.0.1 due to finding more serious bugs19:39
calcthey release a new version like 3.0.0 whenever they don't find any release critical bugs for about a week (afaict)19:39
Xsss4hellI wished they released OOo 3.x as OOo 2.5.x and planned a totally new gui superior to office2007's rubber19:43

rohdefbreak my system in bad ways :D sounds promising. Ok now for my actual questions21:35
rohdefis there any alpha releases?21:36
rohdefany details available on what features I can hope to look forward to? (did I make it clear enough that I don't expect anything to be final?)21:36
WelshDragonrohdef, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule <--- Click Alpha 1 for the download link. As for features....nothing worth mentioning atm21:39
rohdefWelshDragon, not even OOo 3?21:39
DanaGhttp://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd21:40
DanaGOdd... says "3D acceleration is only implemented on R5xx and RS6xx upto now. Also no XVideo on newer chips (needs 3D engine for scaling). Still, fullscreen video is working fluently with shadowfb for many users."21:40
DanaGOh, r_S_, not r_V_,21:41
DanaGaah.21:41
WelshDragonrohdef, There's a dependency wait for OOo 3 atm, so no :)21:41
rohdefWelshDragon, oh :( well hopefully it'll be in place soon21:42
* WelshDragon is rather puzzled by DanaG 21:42
WelshDragonrohdef, hopefully =)21:42
DanaGSorry, I'm just sort of venting randomly, but at least not in a ranting tone.21:42
rohdefWelshDragon, is there some way to become a more "pro" tester than just trying and repoting errors?21:43
WelshDragonrohdef, once the UDS is over there should be a "surge" of new features and breakages =)21:43
WelshDragonrohdef, No idea...I'm not a tester.21:43
WelshDragonI'm not anything =P21:43
WelshDragonhehe DanaG =)21:44
DanaGI wonder what practical difference there is between radeon and radeonhd.21:44
rohdefWelshDragon, ah ok :) since I don't like the idea of using backport modules, and like trying new things, and aren't afraid of messing with stuff I'm considering trying the alpha in an VM and if it works well enough... well breaks my system bad sound like fun :p21:45
rohdefWelshDragon, I'm searching for UDS, but I can't find what it is :S21:47
WelshDragonrohdef, Ubuntu Developers Summit21:48

linuxman410when i enable desktop effects system is flaky i have geforce 4 440 has any else ever had this problem22:14
milos__WelshDragon, nope, everything works fine here22:15
linuxman410have two geforce 4 cards  they both do same thing screen goes white o cert ain parts other than that it works fine22:17
ikoniacalc: what makes you lean towards sticking with .28 ?22:17
calcikonia: i'm not a kernel dev but from what i heard they are sticking with .2822:55
calcikonia: they are still having meetings here at UDS for the rest of the week so the decision might change, but so far it looks like .28 may be the jaunty kernel22:56
