| unavailable | I commend you guys... coming up for fixes for dang near everything | 02:00 |
| unavailable | anyone have any idea why my nvidia drivers are gone ?? | 02:56 |
| andersk | Probably bug 308410. | 02:56 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 308410 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 "Latest Xorg removes nvidia driver ... conflicting xserver-xorg-video-4" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/308410 | 02:56 |
| unavailable | so any fix yet? | 03:00 |
| unavailable | that seems to go to a waiting list | 03:00 |
| andersk | nvidia has not yet updated their drivers to be compatible with the new Xorg. | 03:00 |
| andersk | You are welcome to try the 180.18 beta drivers from my PPA: http://launchpad.net/~anders-kaseorg/+archive | 03:01 |
| andersk | But you will still need to set Option "IgnoreABI" "True" in the "ServerFlags" section of xorg.conf. | 03:01 |
| woody86 | can anyone help me out? When I try to upgrade to jaunty using 'upgrade-manager -d' it won't find the jaunty repos?? | 03:09 |
| woody86 | 'update-manager -d' ** | 03:11 |
| unavailable | woody if you have nvidia, and wish to have things work right, you may want to wait. | 03:12 |
| woody86 | well I don't have nvidia :) | 03:13 |
| andersk | Check your /etc/apt/sources.list. Perhaps you're set up to use a mirror that doesn't have jaunty? | 03:14 |
| woody86 | that's what I thought, but I have it to the main U.S. Server, does that one have the jaunty mirror? | 03:15 |
| andersk | us.archive.ubuntu.com? Yes, that should be fine. | 03:15 |
| woody86 | yup, let me set it again and try it out | 03:17 |
| woody86 | this is what I get: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/100765/ | 03:20 |
| unavailable | allright, I rebooted after install... then enabled drivers, do i need to restart the x session again?? | 03:21 |
| andersk | unavailable: is X running or not? | 03:22 |
| unavailable | yes | 03:22 |
| unavailable | well, i can see the desktop... | 03:22 |
| unavailable | but do I need to REstart the session?? as in close it then openit again (restart ubuntu again?) | 03:23 |
| andersk | If it's working, I don't see why you would need to. | 03:23 |
| unavailable | i cannot enable effects | 03:23 |
| andersk | Well, in that case, it's worth a try. | 03:24 |
| unavailable | is that broken with this build? | 03:24 |
| andersk | I'm using 180.18 with Compiz, so it should be fine assuming the 180 drivers support your hardware. | 03:24 |
| andersk | woody86: try commenting out the lines in sources.list that reference jaunty-security and jaunty-updates. Those don't exist yet. | 03:25 |
| woody86 | andersk- well thanks :) that seems easy enough | 03:25 |
| woody86 | any idea when they will be enabled? | 03:26 |
| andersk | After the jaunty release. | 03:26 |
| woody86 | ah, gotcha :) | 03:26 |
| andersk | Wait, I also see references to "partner" in your log. That's more likely to be the problem. | 03:26 |
| woody86 | what's that? disable 'partners' too? | 03:27 |
| woody86 | ok, well it's working so far, we'll see if it runs into any other problems | 03:30 |
| andersk | Sure. You can try re-enabling those repositories after the upgrade if you need them. | 03:30 |
| woody86 | the 'partner' ones are still enabled right now, but I disabled 'security' and 'updates' and it's working fine now | 03:31 |
| woody86 | *knock on wood* | 03:32 |
| unavailable | ok. | 03:32 |
| unavailable | that broke x | 03:32 |
| unavailable | i rebooted to a tty | 03:33 |
| andersk | Any useful debugging information will be in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. | 03:34 |

| pwnguin | anyone else have a wierd problem where clicking on the bookmark menu in firefox opens the bookmark this page dialog? | 08:36 |
| lucent | I uh just re-covered my OS software recently from a Stupid Human Trick involving rm -fr and a space between '/' with the rest of the path | 08:47 |
| lucent | now running Jaunty Alpha 2 for the ext4 support in its given Kernel and also for grub2 that has LVM + ext4 support in the repo | 08:48 |
| lucent | what's still bothering me are the broken apps which do something with ipv6 | 08:48 |
| lucent | now that ipv6 is built-in to the kernel I can't work around by blacklisting the ipv6 module - any tips or advice for me? | 08:48 |
| lucent | oh, also wondering how do I do an Alternate install from USB stick | 08:53 |
| lucent | and if a fix has been released yet for X.org | 08:53 |
| lucent | seems that X.org introduced a bug with firefox such that links trigger unpredictable cursor behavior | 08:54 |
| x1250 | lucent, no fix for X and firefox yet. There's a post on ubuntuforums.org that discusses the ipv6 problem. | 08:56 |
| lucent | x1250: mind linking? I've seen a few posts, none address the exact cause of why DNS takes so freaking long to resolve and which apps are broken or why | 08:57 |
| lucent | most are the tune of "well don't use it lol omg just recompile your kernel duh" | 08:58 |
| x1250 | lucent, I you've read them, then you've read them... :) | 08:58 |
| lucent | ah | 08:58 |
| lucent | I'm excited for encrypted home directories to make an introduction | 08:59 |
| x1250 | lucent, have you tried using the usb-creator with the alternate iso? | 09:00 |
| lucent | x1250: yes, I have and the installer boots but it can't find the cdrom, which is a fatal error | 09:00 |
| x1250 | mmm, maybe you should file a bug report on that. | 09:01 |
| lucent | if I switch to a console and do some mount trickery, then I get a little further, but it dies because it can't figure out the release code name | 09:01 |
| lucent | oh | 09:01 |
| lucent | why? the image is a CD image, not a USB image | 09:01 |
| x1250 | it can be whatever you want it to be, if you file a bug report. | 09:02 |
| lucent | hm. I'd rather not pollute the bug tracker | 09:03 |
| x1250 | well, your choice, but eventually someone will... | 09:03 |
| lucent | actually I'm hoping for a way to do an installation to a single LVM partition | 09:04 |
| lucent | to get my all-in-LVM setup I had to install the traditional way, then do my administration task from a livecd usb boot environment | 09:04 |
| lucent | it works though | 09:04 |
| lucent | x1250: what is the x.org / firefox bug anyways? | 09:05 |
| lucent | growing pains, or is it a regression | 09:06 |
| x1250 | on the bug report someone said it was X's fault, and that a patch was available for the next release, but who knows... :) | 09:07 |

| Cpudan80 | Hello all | 17:00 |
| Cpudan80 | I am currently working on Interpid -- but I need to download the source for wpa_supplicant for JJ | 17:00 |
| Cpudan80 | how can I do that...? | 17:00 |
| unavailable | allright, yesterday... i noted that the xorg broke my nvidia, and someone here directed me to a beta nvidia. | 18:28 |
| unavailable | well. | 18:28 |
| unavailable | that broke x | 18:28 |
| unavailable | totally, startx results in an invalid path error | 18:29 |
| CarlFK | unavailable: pretty sure x/nvid needs an update from nvid | 18:38 |
| unavailable | yes but how do I update from cli without x?? | 18:39 |
| CarlFK | i have a gf2, needs v96. I was told downgrade x or wait for nv to release a new binary | 18:39 |
| CarlFK | unavailable: my guess: apt-get install xorg | 18:39 |
| unavailable | no net connection | 18:39 |
| CarlFK | I think that will un install the conflicting nvidia package | 18:39 |
| unavailable | even though the cable is in | 18:39 |
| CarlFK | ifup eth0 | 18:40 |
| CarlFK | more guessing, but this is the stuff I would try... | 18:40 |
| unavailable | i think i'm just gonna drop back down to intrepid for a while... | 18:40 |
| unavailable | there's nothing too important on that install anyway. | 18:41 |
| CarlFK | do you know if the nv driver will let me switch to the svid port? | 18:41 |
| CarlFK | don't need both ports, just the svid is fine | 18:41 |
| x1250 | Cpudan80, you need to add the jaunty "main" repository to /etc/apt/sources.list, then: apt-get update && apt-get -t jaunty source wpasupplicant. But if you really don't need the source and just the deb package (binary), then do a: apt-get -t jaunty install wpasupplicant | 19:39 |
| x1250 | Cpudan80, you may need to add other jaunty repositories, depending on wpasupplicant dependencies, and where are they (in what repo) | 19:41 |
| x1250 | oh, I missed sudo. | 19:43 |
| Cpudan80 | heh | 19:43 |
| Cpudan80 | I figured that much | 19:43 |
| Cpudan80 | But that sounds dangerous | 19:43 |
| Cpudan80 | as I am on an Intrepid install and dont want to break it | 19:43 |
| x1250 | well, its the safest way of getting a jaunty deb package... :) | 19:45 |
| x1250 | Cpudan80, note that doing all of that will not upgrade your box to jaunty. To get a package from jaunty you need to use the "-t jaunty" part, so it is pretty safe. It will only get wpasupplicant and its dependencies. | 19:53 |

| karlp | hi | 20:10 |
| karlp | i can't get flash to work | 20:10 |
| karlp | i do aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree and i get this | 20:11 |
| karlp | download or license refused | 20:11 |
| karlp | The Flash plugin is NOT installed. | 20:11 |
| x1250 | karlp, what version of flashplugin-nonfree ? apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree | 20:12 |
| karlp | hmm, aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree and aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree seemed to install it | 20:13 |
| karlp | i'll see if firefox works with any flash sites (i.e. youtube) again | 20:13 |
| karlp | it's the latest one. 10.0.15.3 ubuntu3 or something | 20:13 |
| karlp | nvm works now | 20:14 |
| karlp | anyway, i don't get why ubuntu does these releases. i always have breakage with every update, so i just try (in spite of all warnings contrary) to use the latest | 20:14 |
| lucent | karlp: I would do dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree | 20:15 |
| karlp | i used to stick with the 6 month releases but i got burned by dapper -> edgy, then again from edgy -> feisty (to a lesser degree). feisty -> hardy was a lot better, but i was hoping for kde 4.1 so i went with hardy -> intrepid almost immediately | 20:15 |
| Pici | karlp: If you are using Jaunty (Which is what this channel is for) then you should be expecting breakage. | 20:15 |
| karlp | intrepid -> jaunty at least looks a lot nicer | 20:15 |
| lucent | karlp: or apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree; apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree | 20:15 |
| lucent | looks nicer? | 20:16 |
| lucent | it looks the same | 20:16 |
| karlp | er, kde at least. i don't use gnome | 20:16 |
| karlp | anyway problem resolved, back to work | 20:16 |
