DanaGaAH... I see what was going on:00:10
DanaGradeon lies in the log, but actually gets correct dpi.00:10
DanaGradeonHD is the one that assumes 96, and passes it on to apps underneath it.00:10
DanaGI also had to add tormodvolden PPA to get the newer-but-still-Intrepid radeonhd.00:11

dookiefaceHi00:42
dookiefaceI'm having trouble installing ubuntu into my toshiba laptop00:43

johannes_hi, how do i get a n intel video driver (jaunty) on 8.10 installed, it doesnt show on synaptic...00:45
DanaGstupid nvidia 96 drivers... can't resume from suspend.00:52
DanaG... and they also make the LCD flicker at what seems like 30Hz.00:53
DanaGbug 31012601:00
ubottuBug 310126 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/310126 is private01:00
anderskThat's my bug; what about it?01:01
DanaGI'm wondering why it's private when it's been fixed.01:02
DanaG(It does make good sense to make it private before the fixing, judging from the changelog that closes it.)01:03
anderskIt isn't fixed.01:03
DanaGOh.01:03
DanaGxorg (1:7.4~5ubuntu9) jaunty; urgency=low  * Disable terminal function entirely01:04
DanaGxorg (1:7.4~5ubuntu8) jaunty; urgency=low  * Disable terminal to prevent root access (LP: #310126)01:04
DanaGWell, once it is fixed, I'm curious to see what the report is about.01:05
crimsunugh, what a horrible "fix"01:05
DanaGOne idea: make it open a getty in the terminal window, so you still have to log in.01:06
DanaGAnd then get to anything else you need from there.01:07
DanaGHmm, I think I will file a wishlist bug: "HID devices on USB sound cards should control the USB sound card, not the default mixer"01:14
DanaGOr rather, give a choice.01:15
* DanaG goes off for food.01:18
Andre_Gondimi have one problem, i can't upgrade to jaunty, alway show this: W:Falhou ao buscar http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-updates/Release  Unable to find expected entry  partner/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)01:19
* DanaG is back.02:00
* DanaG is pondering what to do with the old cardbus audigy2.02:01
DanaGSome other random thing: changing gnome from 147dpi to 146 or 145 makes it look surprisingly different.02:15
DanaGInteresting: it looks like the ADI1984 may be able to capture two different audio sources, separately, simultaneously.02:18
DanaGAt least, that's what I'd imagine it means, when I have two capture volume sliders and two capture source selectors.02:19
Armagguedeshey02:26
Armagguedeshow do i update from 8.10 to 9.04a2?02:26
crimsunsudo do-release-upgrade -d02:34
crimsunplease note that if you use either/both of fglrx or/and Nvidia that you will experience problems02:34
Armagguedescrimsun, are those the proprietary drivers?02:36
crimsunin that case, you're advised to wait until a further alpha, or, if you're comfortable and familiar with apt-pinning or holding, then pin xserver-xorg, xserver-xorg-core, xserver-xorg-input-evdev (and possibly xserver-xorg-input-synaptics if you have that hardware) to the older jaunty versions02:36
crimsunArmagguedes: yes, they are02:36
Armagguedeswhat if i just use the foss ones02:37
crimsunthen it depends on the hardware02:39
crimsune.g., my Nvidia hardware only works with vesa and the proprietary Nvidia drivers02:39
crimsuni cannot, therefore, use nv02:39
crimsunif you have intel graphics or other hardware capable of being driven by the FOSS drivers, then you're safe to some degree02:40
crimsunof course, there's no guarantee things will work. It is a rather unstable time.02:40
Armagguedeshm02:41
Armagguedeswhen isthe next alpha out?02:41
crimsun15 jan or thenabouts02:41
DanaGcrimsun: don't forget libdrm2 -- another thing to pin.02:42
Armagguedesok thanks02:42
Armagguedesi'll give this a shot anyway02:42
DanaGOh yeah, is there any standard time between committing a kernel fix and getting it in the repos?02:43
crimsunDanaG: true, but i suppose that's only directly applicable to fglrx02:43
DanaGhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/31272102:43
Armagguedesone last thing:where can i find the config file for the Kmenu (i need to look at the list of installed apps)?02:43
DanaGFix committed.. but not yet in repos.02:44
crimsunDanaG: whenever the next upload is scheduled, likely in time for a3.02:45
DanaGCool.02:45
DanaGOh yeah, and:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/26131802:50
DanaGIntrepid-Proposed has it fixed, but oddly enough, the 2.6.28 kernels do not.02:50
Armagguedesdoes multimonitor work yet in 8.10 or 9.04a2?02:52
RAOFArmagguedes: Depends.  It's consistently worked for me since Warty.02:58
Armagguedesi tried today with 8.04 andits bollocks02:58
Armagguedesok thansk anyway02:58
RAOFPresumably with nvidia?  You'll probably want to run "sudo nvidia-xconfig --twinview".02:59
Armagguedesis that with the foss or proprietary drivers02:59
RAOFProprietary.02:59
Armagguedesok cheers buddy03:00
nomasteryodaRAOF, with  the nvidia-settings its simpler to make such work03:00
nomasteryodajust my experience03:01
RAOFnomasteryoda: With the xorg.conf generated by that command, dual monitors just work for me; have them plugged in at X start, and they'll come up.03:08

JibbaDI have installed some deb packages and when I try to install other software with apt it always wants to remove them due to nothing depending on them, did this recently get turned up as far as aggressiveness?04:00
nomasteryodaJibbaD, would those .debs be from the ubuntu repos?04:02
JibbaDyes\04:02
nomasteryodai've seen the autoremove option04:02
JibbaDthings like python2.5-dev04:02

nomasteryodabut then again it is a developing distro04:03
nomasteryodahehe04:03
JibbaDright04:03
JibbaDill poke around some more and file a bug if it continues to happen04:03

DanaGthat is, list the packages you want to mark as not auto-installed.04:13
DanaGHeh, I figured out how to fix the blinking LED and the USB sound card volume control all at once:04:15
DanaG.... stick the control pod from my speakers on top of the sound card.  =þ04:15
nomasteryodaDanaG, lol04:22
DanaGmy speakers: Logitech Z-530004:23
JibbaDDanaG: thanks for the tip but it still wants to remvoe it04:25
DanaGOdd.04:27
JibbaDDanaG: eh looking at one of them there are dependencies not met hence the auto removal so lets just go with "developing distro wait it out" answer04:36
DanaGif you 'sudo aptitude', you can get more info.04:37
DanaGaptitude can be run without sudo, and it'll ask for password later when you go to apply with 'g'.04:37
JibbaDyeah that is how I saw the flags on the autoremove ones..idA04:37
DanaGhit m (lowercase) or M (capital) on those.04:37
DanaGI don't remember which sets manual, but the two (caps and lower) are inverses.04:38
JibbaDyeah that does it but ill just ignore them for the time being cause I don't want to have to babysit them..04:40
DanaGOnce either fglrx is fixed OR radeonhd or radeon get R600 acceleration... I'll be able to play neverball with the laptop.... and that is, with the laptop itself as the input device. =þ04:45
DanaGIt's rather amusing.04:46

x1250CarlFK, try http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html, section 3.10. Also, holding the package may do what you want. Like $ aptitude hold mypackage09:58
somaunnproblem installing realplayer1109:59
CarlFKx1250: what's the difference between pin and hold?10:03
x1250CarlFK, hold will make the package hold its version between upgrades. It makes the package not upgradeable.10:07

x1250CarlFK, you say you want Pin: version 1.5.3-1ubuntu1 for xserver-xorg-core, which is ok, but from where do you want to get that version? Current version is 2:1.5.99.3-0ubuntu3, and thats the version in the repos. If you want 1.5.3, you must provide a path (repo) to that version.10:35
CarlFKhmm, xserver-xorg isn't xorg-server/2:1.5.3-1ubuntu110:35
CarlFKI am trying to get nvida working, yesterday someone here said: it works fine with the current fglrx & nvidia drivers if you pin to the previous versions of xserver-xorg, xserver-xorg-core, xserver-xorg-input-evdev, 7.4~5ubuntu5, 1.5.3-1ubuntu1, 2.0.99+git20080912-0ubuntu6, respectively10:37

x1250afaik you can only get the current version from the repos, unless I am very wrong.10:46

Supersaiyan_IVDanaG, yay indeed, especially iwlagn22:37
crimsunDanaG: i've already discussed that issue22:49
crimsunDanaG: essentially, it appears the community-supported flashplugin-nonfree will always be wrapped using nspluginwrapper (and thus will use the 32-bit one)22:49
crimsunDanaG: the Adobe-supported adobe-flashplugin will install native plugins without nspluginwrapper22:50
DanaGOh, I see... those two packages are now different.22:50
DanaGI didn't realize that before.22:50
crimsunthere will be a bit of a gap until adobe-flashplugin actually offers a release, supported 64-bit version22:50
crimsunAdobe's redistribution terms require actual release, supported versions, not alpha/beta/RC22:51
DanaGAah.22:53
DanaGOh wait... so since the 64-bit native is still beta, it won't be using that one for now?22:54
