| Melik | haha wow this is so confusing | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Melik | i installed nvidia-glx-180, and nvidia-glx-96 shows up in hardware drivers | 00:01 |
| Melik | :/ | 00:01 |
| enyc | damn proprietary driver mess | 00:03 |
| Melik | yeah tell me about it | 00:03 |
| Melik | http://i39.tinypic.com/2hf6ib7.png | 00:05 |
| Melik | enyc, theres the screenhost lol | 00:05 |
| Melik | and when i try to click activate it just re-downloads the 96 drivers | 00:06 |
| Melik | and then removes my xorg | 00:06 |
| enyc | ;-) | 00:07 |
| Melik | enyc, do u know where "hardware drivers" gets all its data from? | 00:08 |
| enyc | Melik: no ;-) | 00:08 |
| Melik | damn, if there was some sort of config file | 00:08 |
| enyc | ;-) im sorry i understand your frustration but i dont know | 00:09 |
| Melik | heh, its all right | 00:09 |
| Melik | hopefully i'll run into someone in this channel who might be of help | 00:09 |
| * enyc has display-corruptien in 8.10 64bit on this nvidia | 00:09 | |
| enyc | 'it was not available with acceleration at lal originally but eventually the bugs with 64bit compile were sorted and now it sort of works ;-) | 00:09 |
| Melik | heh | 00:10 |
| Melik | im pretty sure if somehow i can activate the nvidia-glx-180 driver through hardware drivers | 00:10 |
| Melik | im more than positive it will work | 00:10 |
| enyc | nit seems i have to use nvidia-96 for this NV18/mx4000 | 00:11 |
| enyc | have you got it working under 8.04 (hardy)? | 00:11 |
| enyc | 'intrepid includes never xorg and other changces............ | 00:11 |
| Melik | everything in my system was working fine in intrepid | 00:11 |
| Melik | except my webcam | 00:11 |
| ethana2 | Melik: we actually have a club.. | 00:12 |
| ethana2 | -11 kernel will make it work, don't worry | 00:12 |
| Melik | what ethana2? | 00:12 |
| ethana2 | Melik: uvcvideo.. | 00:12 |
| ethana2 | ...which is 2/3 of the webcams I've seen | 00:13 |
| tretle | well its officially the 16th in ireland and the uk and alpha 3 aint out yet | 00:14 |
| Melik | tretle, im pretty sure there almost done | 00:15 |
| ethana2 | Melik: oh? I usually add a day or two for alpha release | 00:15 |
| ethana2 | just so I can get some sleep | 00:15 |
| tretle | are they getting the images ready or is it that there are bugs holding it back? | 00:15 |
| Melik | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/jaunty-alpha-3 | 00:18 |
| Melik | couple more things left | 00:19 |
| tretle | will it be released when the fixed commited bugs are accepted or are we waiting for the triaged ones too? | 00:21 |
| apoka | anyone experiencing gnome/X freezing on them when using firefox? | 00:35 |
| apoka | it might be more than just FF, i havent opened anything else yet.. | 00:35 |
| apoka | or it could just be the nvidia drivers, but either way it's pooched | 00:36 |
| sidney | I wonder will they take some tips from super ubuntu | 01:00 |
| tretle | super ubuntu looks like it kind of sucks | 01:02 |
| doug___ | hey guys i am using ext3 how do i get the features of ext4 without formatng, and do i really need to use ext4 for anything besides speed | 01:02 |
| tretle | including wine, amsn, vlc and mplayer as default arent good things | 01:03 |
| doug___ | why is providing wine a bad thing | 01:03 |
| tretle | either is including the propietary flash player | 01:03 |
| doug___ | how coudl that every be bad | 01:03 |
| doug___ | has no drawbacks, | 01:03 |
| tretle | because wine is the wrong way of approaching the problem | 01:04 |
| doug___ | and what is the right way for someone to run there windows app on linux | 01:04 |
| doug___ | because that is the problem the problem isnt that a linux alternative doesnt exist.. | 01:04 |
| doug___ | becasue that is not the users problem | 01:04 |
| tretle | alcohol never fixes your problems, lol | 01:05 |
| doug___ | LOL | 01:05 |
| tretle | the right way is a native port, alternative etc | 01:05 |
| tretle | wine has done nothing but encourage laziness among devs of gaming project's and also google to some extent with picasa | 01:06 |
| ethana2 | uh. | 01:07 |
| ethana2 | I disagree. | 01:07 |
| tretle | before the problem with game devs was that they didnt think there was enough people using linux now some of the lack of interest is due to the fact that they would rather rely on people having to run wine instead of producing a native port.. Allot of the time using wine as an excuse. | 01:08 |
| ethana2 | you can't rely on a dynamic wine | 01:08 |
| ethana2 | compile it in or it WILL break. | 01:09 |
| ethana2 | and Mattel isn't going to port their software to linux regardless of wine | 01:09 |
| tretle | I dont see the point in including wine in ubuntu, ubuntu is oss and should be endorsing oss software alternatives and not emulating windows closed source apps | 01:10 |
| doug___ | ok i totally disagree | 01:11 |
| doug___ | and here is why | 01:11 |
| doug___ | ubuntu is linux for humans right | 01:12 |
| doug___ | and humans sometimes wnat to use certain apps that they can only find in windows | 01:12 |
| doug___ | whos job is it to code the alternatives users or dev | 01:12 |
| tretle | emphasis on the "linux" there | 01:12 |
| doug___ | who is ubuntu for users or des | 01:12 |
| doug___ | devs | 01:12 |
| ethana2 | that's what I fix. | 01:12 |
| ethana2 | ethbuntu: desktop computing for everyone | 01:12 |
| ethana2 | because if a better kernel comes along, however doubtful that is | 01:13 |
| doug___ | the inclusion of wine is for the user base of ubuntu not for dev | 01:13 |
| tretle | its no ones job, yet everyones job. hence the beauty of oss | 01:13 |
| ethana2 | screw linux; and if it doesn't (probable) | 01:13 |
| ethana2 | the end user shouldn't even need to know what kernel they're on | 01:13 |
| doug___ | no...its not... | 01:13 |
| doug___ | im sorry | 01:13 |
| ethana2 | drop the linux | 01:13 |
| doug___ | my mother uses linux | 01:13 |
| ethana2 | my mother uses an Ubuntu Dell | 01:13 |
| doug___ | its not her job to go out learn c java, perl python...instead of installing her wine apps... | 01:13 |
| tretle | no one is asking her too | 01:14 |
| doug___ | and instead devote her time to learning these lang and make an alternative | 01:14 |
| ethana2 | remove wine if you don't like it | 01:14 |
| tretle | no | 01:14 |
| ethana2 | and making alternatives only goes so fast | 01:14 |
| ethana2 | you can do what you know | 01:14 |
| tretle | install it if you want to use it | 01:14 |
| doug___ | im just saying...adding it to wine is for the good of the users | 01:14 |
| ethana2 | the lumiera and gimp folks can't whip everything else into shape | 01:14 |
| ethana2 | doug___: and I'm with you. | 01:14 |
| ethana2 | I can finally tell people that windows apps will Just Work in Ubuntu | 01:14 |
| ethana2 | that's crucial. | 01:15 |
| doug___ | how could yo not be i mean wine is one of the ONLY ways you can convince smoe people to swtich | 01:15 |
| doug___ | amen | 01:15 |
| ethana2 | most people** | 01:15 |
| doug___ | words rigth out of my mouth | 01:15 |
| ethana2 | in fact I need to get IE working right now | 01:15 |
| doug___ | that is SO huge for linux conversion | 01:15 |
| ethana2 | so I don't have to use school computers to get to myFolder on blackboard | 01:15 |
| doug___ | you tell them...hey use these apps instead but | 01:15 |
| doug___ | if you cant fid one then just install your old ones | 01:15 |
| doug___ | ok wait...i thought firefox could masquerade as ie | 01:16 |
| ethana2 | it's not a useragent issue. | 01:16 |
| doug___ | (sp? maybe) | 01:16 |
| ethana2 | IE actually does something ff doesn't | 01:16 |
| ethana2 | has to do with activedirectory stuff | 01:16 |
| ethana2 | I think | 01:16 |
| tretle | I hqave converted alot of people to ubuntu over the years and when they first start using it there are some questions like how do i install winamp etc but when they figure it out they prefer the alternatives... And out of all of them including my parents non of them wanted to go back to windows | 01:16 |
| ethana2 | my sister still wants MSN | 01:16 |
| ethana2 | because emesene and aMSN aren't there yet. | 01:16 |
| RAOF_ | ethana2: But that's a barefaced lie! Windows apps will _not_ Just Work in Ubuntu, even if we had wine installed by default. | 01:17 |
| RAOF_ | _Some_ windows apps would, but many still wouldn't. | 01:17 |
| ethana2 | RAOF_: I thought there would be a warning and then it'd install wine automatically and run 'em | 01:17 |
| tretle | The only problems which I have found myself arent ubuntu's fault.... Stuff like closed standards implemented with microsoft office | 01:17 |
| ethana2 | ah. | 01:17 |
| ethana2 | RAOF_: I look forward to Gallium replacing wine3d so the wine folks can focus on the actual win* API | 01:17 |
| ethana2 | tretle: yes, they exist. | 01:18 |
| RAOF_ | ethana2: As I understand it, that's technically infeasable. | 01:18 |
| ethana2 | RAOF_: whoa | 01:18 |
| RAOF_ | ethana2: Because to implement a d3d state tracker, you need to implement win32. | 01:18 |
| tretle | ethana2, are you forcing her to use ubuntu or something... theres nothing wrong with someone prefering windows and if they want to use it let them. | 01:18 |
| ethana2 | you can't have .dlls with functions written in gallium? | 01:18 |
| ethana2 | tretle: I have to support it then. | 01:18 |
| ethana2 | I can not support what I do not use. | 01:18 |
| ethana2 | windows isn't worthy of being called an operating system | 01:19 |
| ethana2 | the girl I'm dating uses OSX, and that's fine, it's actually worth something | 01:19 |
| * tretle close to getting ubuntu installed on a secondary partition on every pc in his college | 01:19 | |
| ethana2 | tretle: nice | 01:19 |
| tretle | I have the former head of it on my side | 01:19 |
| doug___ | nic nice | 01:20 |
| doug___ | you guys read abotu the entire country of korea switching to linux | 01:20 |
| ethana2 | doug___: seriously? | 01:20 |
| tretle | the idea is to install it on the second partition and slowly migrate stuff | 01:20 |
| ethana2 | I wish Ubuntu could run windows apps in place | 01:21 |
| tretle | doug___ I heard tha\t alright | 01:21 |
| ethana2 | like a windows chroot | 01:21 |
| ethana2 | and just use almost all the .dll files you paid for in the first place.. | 01:21 |
| tretle | hmmmmmmm.... while we are at it we shold have ubuntu load super nintendo, nintendo 64 and playstations roms as default | 01:22 |
| doug___ | yes its pretty sweet, now its only a corporate switch but still pretty cool | 01:22 |
| tretle | :P | 01:22 |
| doug___ | ok come on that is kinda silly LOL | 01:23 |
| ethana2 | doug___: if people expected that of us, then yes | 01:23 |
| ethana2 | they do not | 01:23 |
| ethana2 | oh, tretle, not doug___ | 01:23 |
| doug___ | i was like um | 01:23 |
| doug___ | LOL | 01:23 |
| doug___ | but yes you are right | 01:24 |
| doug___ | and the HUMAN pop expects wine to be there...because they expect to be able to use all there software in linux | 01:24 |
| ethana2 | wouldn't hurt to recognize the ROM mimetypes.. | 01:24 |
| doug___ | what is the first thing someone asks when you proposition linux | 01:24 |
| doug___ | "can i still run itunes" | 01:24 |
| doug___ | "can i still run (insert game here) | 01:24 |
| doug___ | i think this is huge | 01:25 |
| ethana2 | does amazon have an API open to, say, rhythmbox? | 01:25 |
| doug___ | goal has always been software that "just works" | 01:25 |
| ethana2 | like, could we make an iTunes competitor? | 01:25 |
| ethana2 | it's not just window /software/ | 01:25 |
| ethana2 | those 'designed for windows' stickers are no joke, as any kernel hacker can tell ya | 01:26 |
| doug___ | actually i have a friend who is trying to dev an mp3 aggregater that will be as featureful | 01:26 |
| doug___ | yes you are so correct | 01:26 |
| tretle_ | ethana2 unfortunately they havent released an api people could use in apps like rhythmbox to access the mp3 store | 01:26 |
| ethana2 | tretle: :( | 01:26 |
| doug___ | i know this is way off topic..anyone ever use rosetta stone | 01:26 |
| ethana2 | we need to request that of them | 01:26 |
| ethana2 | doug___: nope | 01:27 |
| doug___ | cries...i want to try it out but i want some feedback... | 01:27 |
| doug___ | someone tha has used it | 01:27 |
| tretle_ | nope | 01:28 |
| tretle_ | ethana2 - banshee comes close to dethrone itunes | 01:31 |
| doug___ | hey what is the best way to rip dvds..i use to use anydvd and clonedvd | 01:32 |
| doug___ | i haveint found much help on the linux side fo things | 01:32 |
| ethana2 | tretle: can you buy music through it? | 01:32 |
| ethana2 | doug___: brasero | 01:32 |
| ethana2 | doug___: new DVDs are obfuscated more though, so _everything_ will fail | 01:32 |
| ethana2 | until it's all updated | 01:32 |
| doug___ | really | 01:32 |
| ethana2 | it comes with ubuntu | 01:32 |
| ethana2 | under 'sound and video | 01:33 |
| doug___ | so no real way to backup recent dvds | 01:33 |
| ethana2 | nope. | 01:33 |
| doug___ | i have it | 01:33 |
| ethana2 | even dd fails | 01:33 |
| ethana2 | I don't know what on earth they did to them, but it sucks | 01:33 |
| ethana2 | no app I've tried even has a helpful error message | 01:33 |
| tretle_ | not yet but they are waiting for the amazon api, I was discussing it with gabaug back when 1.0 was released and theres a few developers ready to jump at the api when released, i doubt rhythmbox will pick up support for the store as quick | 01:33 |
| ethana2 | ah | 01:33 |
| ethana2 | does amazon know this? | 01:33 |
| tretle_ | well yeah, I have sent an email before explaining to them that if they release an api then rhythmbox/banshee devs could integrate it and their service would have more penetration | 01:35 |
| tretle_ | seeing as rhythmbox is default for ubuntu and banshee is default for opensuse | 01:35 |
| doug___ | that is one of the big thigns that held me back for awhile but then i just started downloading everything | 01:35 |
| ethana2 | doug___: if it's not on jamendo.com, I don't hear it | 01:36 |
| doug___ | but i would liek to be able to do easy conversions of avi etc to dvd | 01:36 |
| tretle_ | I would expect them to relesae an api soon though especially after the announcement of drm free itunes, they need to do something to compete | 01:36 |
| ethana2 | I make a rare exception | 01:36 |
| ethana2 | tretle_: yeah, that was kind of their reason d'être | 01:36 |
| ethana2 | I probably spelled that wrong.. | 01:36 |
| tretle_ | doug___ avi->dvd can be done in brasero | 01:36 |
| doug___ | can it... | 01:37 |
| doug___ | i never really tried ot much | 01:37 |
| tretle_ | yup since intrepid or maybe hardy | 01:37 |
| doug___ | nice... | 01:37 |
| tretle_ | indeed | 01:37 |
| doug___ | i only do it for others..i see no need for dvds | 01:37 |
| doug___ | i rather have 12-24 eps on a dvd instead of 4 | 01:38 |
| doug___ | LOL | 01:38 |
| tretle_ | you can create dvd's and svcd | 01:38 |
| tretle_ | :) | 01:38 |
| doug___ | can one run into problems iwth propsed updates and why is it still trying to update to kernal 27 when 28 is out | 01:38 |
| RAOF_ | doug___: Yes, that's why they're in -proposed - to check whether they break, before rolling it out to -updates. And because Intrepid was released with the 27 kernel. | 01:42 |
| doug___ | so it wont update ? | 01:42 |
| ethana2 | doug___: you can dist-upgrade if you trust it to not screw up config files | 01:42 |
| doug___ | would it | 01:43 |
| ethana2 | but wait until jaunty goes stable if this is intrepid you're talking | 01:43 |
| ethana2 | doug___: would it what? | 01:43 |
| RAOF_ | Not to the -28 kernel. But it will have (some) bugs fixed against it. | 01:43 |
| doug___ | woudl it screw shit uo | 01:43 |
| ethana2 | !ohmy | 01:43 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language, attitude and topic to help keep this channel friendly and helpful. Remember, there are kids here! | 01:43 |
| doug___ | ok | 01:44 |
| ethana2 | if you're talking about dist-upgrade, I personally don't use it | 01:44 |
| ethana2 | I do a clean install every time | 01:44 |
| ethana2 | and I dual boot two versions of Ubuntu | 01:45 |
| ethana2 | so if I need a working webcam or skype right now, I can boot into 8.04 | 01:45 |
| tretle_ | anyone got issues with firefox displaying some webpages incorrectly and not displaying some images? | 01:49 |
| tretle_ | also for some odd reason epiphany-webkit uses xulrunner instead of webkit | 01:50 |
| temppy | !schedule | 01:59 |
| ubottu | A schedule of Jaunty Jackelope (9.04) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule | 01:59 |
| Melik | RAOF, | 02:03 |
| lucent | uh, the ISO hasn't hit the mirrors, has it? | 02:20 |
| lucent | I mean it's announced on the wiki but not available for download? | 02:20 |
| lucent | "Get it while it's hot. ISOs and torrents are available at: " | 02:20 |
| ethana2 | lucent: it's announced on the wiki? | 02:20 |
| ethana2 | right now? | 02:20 |
| ethana2 | link? | 02:20 |
| lucent | maybe that should read "Get it while it's not." | 02:20 |
| ethana2 | get it before your delorian runs out of banana peels! | 02:21 |
| Melik | lucent, can u link us? | 02:21 |
| lucent | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/TechnicalOverview | 02:21 |
| Melik | thans | 02:21 |
| Melik | thanks* | 02:21 |
| lucent | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/alpha-3/ is 404 here | 02:21 |
| lucent | Melik: <a href="">us</a> | 02:22 |
| lfaraone | Hey, I need to test out S/R in the new jaunty release, what's the best way to test w/o messing yp my existing install. | 02:22 |
| Melik | install a new partition? | 02:23 |
| ethana2 | lfaraone: flash drive probably | 02:23 |
| ethana2 | oh, yeah, new partition | 02:23 |
| ethana2 | well actually, that will mess with your exisiting install i think | 02:23 |
| Melik | or just install through wubi or something | 02:23 |
| ethana2 | new kernel updates for it won't apply because it'll take over grub | 02:23 |
| Melik | if u are dual booting | 02:23 |
| lucent | what does "Triaged" mean in a bug task anyways | 02:24 |
| lucent | is that like "procrastinated" | 02:24 |
| lfaraone | lucent: it means it has enough info in it for a developer to take a look at it. | 02:25 |
| Melik | http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/triage | 02:25 |
| lucent | ah okay | 02:25 |
| temppy | ethana2: you can use a configfile directive to fix that (in menu.lst) | 02:25 |
| lfaraone | Melik: I'm exlusively 'buntu. | 02:25 |
| ethana2 | temppy: oh? | 02:25 |
| lucent | the word meaning is a bit strange to me. Thanks for the re-phrase | 02:26 |
| lfaraone | ethana2: I currently use LVM. How hard would it be to resize my existing LVM partitions? | 02:26 |
| ethana2 | LVM? | 02:26 |
| ethana2 | logical volume? | 02:26 |
| ethana2 | I'm not sure | 02:26 |
| Melik | best bet is what ethana2 said, a flash drive | 02:27 |
| lucent | how difficult is it to resize the filesystem without LVM? | 02:27 |
| lucent | LVM itself just provides block devices | 02:27 |
| lfaraone | lucent: supposedly lvm makes it easier. | 02:28 |
| lucent | easier to resize block devices, yes | 02:28 |
| lucent | it doesn't magically know how to resize filesystems | 02:29 |
| shadowhywind | hay all i was wondering if anyone was getting kernel panics with jaunty? | 02:32 |
| Melik | nope | 02:32 |
| lucent | shadowhywind: depending on how loud I shout at it | 02:32 |
| lucent | not really | 02:32 |
| Melik | lol lucent | 02:32 |
| lucent | it's mostly obscenities anyways | 02:33 |
| lucent | I don't blame it for wanting to panic | 02:33 |
| lucent | shadowhywind: which hardware configuration? | 02:33 |
| shadowhywind | interesting, because earlier today, my laptop froze for the 5thish time, I restarted, and then constantly got kernel panics, finally had to restore a backup of intrepid | 02:33 |
| shadowhywind | lucent which hardware did you want to know? | 02:33 |
| lucent | x86 or 64-bit, laptop or desktop, are you running anything strange like a fancy graphics card | 02:34 |
| shadowhywind | amd64, HP laptop, no fancy graphics card since its a laptop | 02:35 |
| lucent | shadowhywind: there's ACPI issues that were exposed recently | 02:35 |
| lucent | would try booting with acpi=bios or acpi=off see what happens | 02:35 |
| lucent | also you could just be having overheating issues | 02:35 |
| shadowhywind | hehe thats probably what the cause is, since intrepid has been the first release that i haven't had to use acpi=off or noapic | 02:35 |
| * lucent blares obscenities directed at his dell laptop | 02:36 | |
| * ethana2 blares obscenities directed at lucent's dell laptop | 02:36 | |
| lucent | it refuses to go through with the order I'm placing for a russian bride | 02:36 |
| shadowhywind | I don't think its an overheating issue, since i never had an issue with overheating before + its on a cooling pad. I will try the acpi=off option tomorrow and see what happens | 02:37 |
| lucent | oh I've got an off-topic question | 02:37 |
| lucent | any of y'all experienced with making Windows XP OS install *from* a flash stick? | 02:37 |
| lucent | i.e. no CDROM | 02:38 |
| temppy | !swap | 02:38 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 02:38 |
| lucent | I'm confused, when will Alpha3 ISO's be built? | 02:48 |
| ethana2 | lucent: when the showstoppers have fixes released | 02:49 |
| ethana2 | lucent: I usually count on all alphas being 24 hours late | 02:50 |
| RAOF | Or, rather, when a set of daily isos go through testing without showstopper (install) bugs. | 02:50 |
| lucent | ah okay | 02:50 |
| RAOF | You can help make this happen by _testing_ the isos if you wish, http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ | 02:50 |
| lucent | I don't have CD-R's, or I would help | 02:51 |
| lucent | haven't found a way to configure an alternate ISO onto a flash stick that works | 02:52 |
| ethana2 | RAOF: does a VM install 'count'? | 02:53 |
| RAOF | ethana2: Yes, but mention the vm-ness. | 02:56 |
| RAOF | lucent: I've done it before; it requires messing around with a netinst image or somesuch. | 02:57 |
| lucent | yeah I guess unetbootin is not enough | 02:58 |
| lucent | RAOF: I want an installer that has support for at least LVM and ext4, and then the option to add grub2 | 02:58 |
| lucent | grub2 has LVM and ext4 support, both which I need to boot my machine | 02:59 |
| RAOF | Actually, I think I used a Debian initramfs for the USB stick, but I forget. | 02:59 |
| RAOF | You're not trying boot-on-lvm are you? | 02:59 |
| lucent | I am using it now | 03:00 |
| lucent | yes | 03:00 |
| RAOF | That doesn't work with grub, does it? | 03:00 |
| lucent | boot-on-ext4-on-lvm works with grub2 | 03:00 |
| RAOF | Right. How did you bootstrap that? | 03:00 |
| lucent | did an ordinary install, copied the filesystem offline, set things up from a liveusb boot, and then restored from offline | 03:01 |
| lucent | there's no support in the installer for this | 03:01 |
| lucent | but it works. | 03:01 |
| RAOF | Indeed. | 03:01 |
| RAOF | You just need to add a layer of encryption to make it perfect (and unbootable) | 03:01 |
| lucent | lol @ that | 03:01 |
| lucent | I had whole-disk crypto and decided not to do that | 03:02 |
| lucent | it's too slow on laptop system | 03:02 |
| RAOF | grub2 will apparently be growing crypt support in the nearish future. That's kinda cool. | 03:02 |
| lucent | grub2 will not be adopted by major OS distro though | 03:03 |
| ethana2 | why not? | 03:03 |
| lucent | it breaks too many things in the server market | 03:03 |
| toresbe | Hrm, is there *any* talk about the faulty nVidia drivers on an ubuntu website? | 03:03 |
| ethana2 | we have separate server and desktop versions.... | 03:03 |
| toresbe | I mean, I know it's broken, but I'd love some more info than that. :) | 03:04 |
| lucent | we'll see what happens though with that new Redhat managed boot splash thing | 03:04 |
| RAOF | But that doesn't have anything at all to do with grub2! | 03:04 |
| lucent | if grub2 doesn't support pretty graphics, it won't get used | 03:04 |
| RAOF | It already does support pretty graphics, though. | 03:05 |
| RAOF | Your choice of VESA modes (on x86-like archs, at least). | 03:05 |
| lucent | yeah I'm not arguing for or against grub2 | 03:06 |
| lucent | it works for my situation | 03:06 |
| * toresbe thinks the bootloader having graphics is a bit of a distraction. The bootloader shouldn't have graphics because the bootloader shouldn't be *visible* unless one is dualbooting | 03:06 | |
| lucent | I've always wanted to cram Linux into a single msdos partition and now I've done it | 03:06 |
| toresbe | in which case... text is fine | 03:06 |
| ethana2 | RAOF: VESA != pretty graphics | 03:06 |
| ethana2 | 1440x900 isn't VESA | 03:06 |
| ethana2 | everything is stretched and stuff | 03:06 |
| RAOF | It's not going to be adopted by anyone until it's got an actual release, though :) | 03:06 |
| toresbe | ethana2: actually it is | 03:06 |
| ethana2 | toresbe: it is? | 03:07 |
| RAOF | It is in _my_ video bios, yes. | 03:07 |
| ethana2 | hmmmmmm | 03:07 |
| ethana2 | I suppose my main data is that my VTs are 600x800 or something | 03:07 |
| toresbe | ethana2: that is a VESA standard resolution | 03:07 |
| ethana2 | toresbe: interesting.. | 03:07 |
| lucent | is there a suggested tool to take an Ubuntu live install desktop cd ISO and put it onto an USB stick to use as an installer? | 03:07 |
| lucent | I've used unetbootin | 03:08 |
| RAOF | System->Administration->Create USB Stick | 03:08 |
| toresbe | ethana2: If you're on a PC, the VT is 720x400 | 03:08 |
| lucent | RAOF: that creates an installer, or does it install to a usb stick the running system? | 03:08 |
| ethana2 | toresbe: I am, but why is that? | 03:08 |
| toresbe | ethana2: (though calling it 720x400 is less than meaningful since it is not addressable as graphics) | 03:08 |
| ethana2 | how can I change it to 1440x900? | 03:08 |
| ethana2 | toresbe: well yes, I realize that, but I'm saying.. | 03:09 |
| toresbe | ethana2: You can insert the fb modules, but that really is a bit more trouble than it's generally considered to be worth :) | 03:09 |
| ethana2 | I'd like to use it CLI only off a flash drive as a portable ogg player.. | 03:09 |
| RAOF | That takes a desktop iso, puts it on a usb stick, makes it bootable, and optionally adds a writable storage area. | 03:09 |
| toresbe | http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt :) | 03:09 |
| lucent | RAOF: perfect, thanks | 03:09 |
| toresbe | Nobody here has a link about the nVidia situation, though? | 03:10 |
| lucent | RAOF: I wish it worked from the menu though | 03:10 |
| lucent | RAOF: needs gksu | 03:10 |
| RAOF | It doesn't? | 03:10 |
| * toresbe misses things like... video | 03:10 | |
| toresbe | which nv doesn't have :( | 03:10 |
| RAOF | lucent: Calls with gksudo for me. | 03:10 |
| ethana2 | ah | 03:10 |
| RAOF | toresbe: You'll need a recent geforce card, the -180 drivers, and IgnoreABI until nvidia decide to fix it. | 03:11 |
| toresbe | RAOF: but if I use that, X keeps crashing. | 03:11 |
| RAOF | Failing that, nouveau is _almost_ installable :) | 03:11 |
| RAOF | If you grab nouveau-kernel-source from new, xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is installable, and should offer you sweet Xv. | 03:12 |
| lucent | RAOF: my mistkae | 03:12 |
| lucent | RAOF: I'm guessing then it doesn't want to install to SD | 03:12 |
| lucent | I have a USB<->microSD adapter | 03:13 |
| RAOF | Maybe; it uses HAL to find all the mounted USB sticks, so it might be ignoring your SD. | 03:13 |
| toresbe | RAOF: Hrm, it works better in single-monitor mode :) | 03:14 |
| lucent | RAOF: is that a bug or ... do I do something about it? | 03:14 |
| RAOF | lucent: It might be a bug; perhaps the filter is too strict. I presume your SD card simply doesn't show up? | 03:14 |
| lucent | SD card shows up on desktop as SD image picture | 03:17 |
| lucent | that part works fine | 03:17 |
| lucent | usb-creator doesn't list any devices | 03:17 |
| RAOF | Right. That's what I meant. | 03:18 |
| lucent | is there an over-riding mode? | 03:18 |
| RAOF | No; I'm trying to find that hal-device-browser thingy. | 03:18 |
| lucent | thanks, I will be happy to test any suggestions | 03:19 |
| lucent | RAOF: gnome-device-manager I think | 03:25 |
| lucent | USB Device > USB Mass Storage Interface > SCSI Host Adapter > SCSI Device > SD/MMC Drive > 1.9 GB Volume | 03:25 |
| lucent | RAOF: also "d-feet" | 03:30 |
| * RAOF needs to find one of his USB sticks before he can help compare. | 03:30 | |
| RAOF | WHERE ARE THEY! | 03:35 |
| lucent | none on your keychain? | 03:35 |
| lucent | if d.GetProperty('storage.bus') == 'usb' and \ | 03:38 |
| RAOF | Win! | 03:38 |
| lucent | in /usr/share/pyshared/usbcreator/backend.py | 03:38 |
| RAOF | Right. That's what I was trying to find. | 03:39 |
| RAOF | And your SD card has a bus property of...? :) | 03:40 |
| lucent | trying to figure that out | 03:41 |
| RAOF | _That_ you can find in gnome-device-manager :) | 03:41 |
| RAOF | Although you need to turn on View->Device Properties. | 03:41 |
| lucent | oh, aha! | 03:42 |
| lucent | drive_type is sd_mmc | 03:43 |
| lucent | is that what you want? | 03:43 |
| RAOF | storage.bus is what we're after. | 03:43 |
| lucent | oh | 03:43 |
| RAOF | Since that's what it's searching for. | 03:43 |
| lucent | storage.bus=usb | 03:43 |
| RAOF | Urgh. | 03:44 |
| lucent | storage.drive_type=sd_mmc, storage.bus=usb, storage.removable=True | 03:46 |
| RAOF | Hm. Try running usb-creator from the command line; it may mention why it's rejecting it. | 03:48 |
| lucent | RAOF: it doesn't output verbosely anything though | 03:50 |
| RAOF | Jaunty really is much less responsive while rsyncing the contents of $HOME. | 03:50 |
| RAOF | AHA! There it is. | 03:52 |
| RAOF | if d.GetProperty('storage.drive_type') != 'disk': continue. | 03:53 |
| RAOF | That's why it doesn't see your SD card. | 03:53 |
| * lucent stabs | 03:53 | |
| lucent | so what's the solution though? | 03:53 |
| RAOF | I'd probably file a bug. As long as you can boot from an SD card, I can't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to install to it. | 03:53 |
| lucent | add an option to the interface to allow SD? | 03:53 |
| RAOF | Urgh, no. | 03:53 |
| lucent | true | 03:53 |
| RAOF | Just allow SD cards, too. Make that check more accurate. | 03:54 |
| lucent | SD cards are not generally bootable | 03:54 |
| lucent | it would confuse a lot of people | 03:54 |
| RAOF | Oh, really? Why is yours bootable then? | 03:55 |
| lucent | the card is attached via an external USB memory storage reader | 03:55 |
| lucent | so it's really a USB reader and the BIOS treats it like a USB stick | 03:55 |
| lucent | my internal PCIe attached SD reader is not bootable | 03:55 |
| RAOF | So, still file the bug; it's just not quite such a slam-dunk easy fix. | 03:56 |
| pwnguin | i thought we fixed this for intrepid | 03:57 |
| * lucent agrees | 03:57 | |
| pwnguin | theres already a bug filed iirc | 03:57 |
| lucent | pwnguin: #? | 03:57 |
| pwnguin | whats the package? | 03:58 |
| lucent | usb-creator command, um... | 03:58 |
| lucent | pwnguin: split between app-install-data and usb-creator | 03:58 |
| lucent | mostly usb-creator | 03:59 |
| pwnguin | https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/280336 | 04:00 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 280336 in usb-creator "support for SD cards and removable media" [Wishlist,Confirmed] | 04:00 |
| pwnguin | apparently not | 04:01 |
| pwnguin | lucent: go knock some heads ;) | 04:02 |
| lucent | pwnguin: I'm all out of bubblegum | 04:03 |
| lucent | RAOF: removing that check in two places from backend.py does allow the device to appear in usb-creator list | 04:08 |
| andresmh | i have 64-bit laptop, would you suggest me to try out Jaunty 32 or 64-bit? I am currently running Intrepid 32-bit because I remember having some issues with sound and builtin webcam | 05:53 |
| brandi | hi. Anyone know why I might be getting a blank white screen when starting KDE from KDM in Jaunty? I checked the config file and compositing is set to false. I don't see anything else significant about the issue on the forums or google. | 06:14 |
| genii | brandi: Intel 810 video card? | 06:15 |
| brandi | actually. it's an nvidia | 06:27 |
| brandi | older model. | 06:27 |
| brandi | that was weird | 06:29 |
| brandi | It does seem to be a driver issue though. KDM loads and looks fine. Once in KDE, I can bring up the process manager w/ keyboard shortbuts. | 06:30 |
| brandi | ha shortcuts. | 06:30 |
| brandi | I can not start KDE in "safe mode" however and my NIC is also not detected -- ifconfig -a shows only the loopback device. | 06:31 |
| x1250 | Xorg doesn't seem to recognize Mode 0666 in Section "DRI" anymore. I have to constantly do a manual sudo chmod 0666 /dev/dri/card0, or I get permission problems and no hardware acceleration. I guess I'll file a bug report. Any one else experiencing this? | 07:25 |
| Melik | anyone have an idea when alpha 3 is going to get released? | 08:03 |

| shadowhywind | also, I am having issues with menu's not displaying what they should. they just show the frame of the menu, any ideas on how to fix | 18:01 |
| fosco_ | i'm using alpha2, gnome menu is ok but i can't get the nvidia driver working | 18:04 |
| Ienorand | when is alpha3 due? | 18:14 |
| charlie-tca | when it gets finished with testing by QA | 18:15 |
| fosco_ | maybe in 1 or 2 days | 18:17 |
| charlie-tca | We have hope :-) | 18:18 |
| ArcSighter | hello everybody? | 18:19 |
| fosco_ | wellcome? :) | 18:19 |
| ArcSighter | how is jauntu running? I want to upgrade or downgrade because I had terribly slow down issues with intrepid | 18:19 |
| ArcSighter | what do you people recommend? | 18:20 |
| fosco_ | ArcSighter, jaunty is in a very early stage | 18:20 |
| bazhang | will jaunty run with minimal ram? | 18:20 |
| bazhang | ie 312MB? | 18:20 |
| fosco_ | bazhang, 256mb just as intrepid | 18:20 |
| bazhang | fosco_, thanks | 18:20 |
| ArcSighter | well I'll downgrade to hardy then, because I can't work in my pc | 18:21 |
| fosco_ | if you are low on ram try a lighter desktop like xfce or openbox | 18:21 |
| ArcSighter | terribly slow after upgrading to 8.10 | 18:21 |
| ArcSighter | fosco_: no, hardy ran just fine | 18:21 |
| fosco_ | ArcSighter, yes, you'd better downgrade | 18:21 |
| ArcSighter | with 312 mb ram | 18:21 |
| drakesoft | hello, everybody! I want to download the alpha 3 of kubuntu (jaunty), but the download server says "not found". When is the release of the cd images? | 18:22 |
| ArcSighter | fosco_: do you have any clue of what may be causing this slowdowns | 18:22 |
| ArcSighter | ? | 18:22 |
| fosco_ | not sure, ask in #ubuntu | 18:22 |
| hggdh | ArcSighter, the best place to get info on Intrepid is #ubuntu, | 18:22 |
| ArcSighter | yes i come from there | 18:23 |
| hggdh | heh | 18:23 |
| ArcSighter | they can't figure out anything | 18:23 |
| hggdh | did you look at you memory utilisation? | 18:23 |
| fosco_ | general instructions, keep an open terminal with the top program running to see what is happening | 18:23 |
| ArcSighter | yes sure | 18:23 |
| ArcSighter | I got thunderbird consuming 20% of RAM , firefox 9 and a loadavg of 15.42 8-( | 18:24 |
| fosco_ | sometimes trackerd uses excessive resources, try disabling it | 18:24 |
| hggdh | ArcSighter, top should tell you what is using CPU | 18:25 |
| hggdh | (or htop) | 18:25 |
| x1250 | ArcSighter, try changing to another video driver. Maybe you're having problems with that, and Xorg is slowing down. Try using the opensource driver for your card, or vesa. | 18:27 |
| x1250 | drakesoft, I guess nobody knows yet, but you can always use the daily builds, if you're impatient. | 18:30 |
| ArcSighter | fosco_: I've already done that | 18:31 |
| ArcSighter | (disabling trackerd) | 18:31 |
| ArcSighter | I just said everytime I open a desktop app such as firefox or thunderbird it consumes a lot of cpu/ram | 18:31 |
| ArcSighter | they did fine in hardy, so I'm lost, some say is the unstable kernel | 18:31 |
| ArcSighter | but I don't know | 18:31 |
| ArcSighter | x1250: i'll install the restricted drivers for my ATI card but that wasn't necessary in hardy | 18:31 |
| hggdh | ArcSighter, you still did not tell us what is using CPU | 18:32 |
| ArcSighter | firefox, thunderbird, pigin, xorg | 18:32 |
| hggdh | sigh | 18:33 |
| x1250 | ArcSighter, whats the output of $ glxinfo | grep -i "opengl vendor" ? | 18:33 |
| tretle | hi, i was wondering where i could find daily live cd builds | 18:33 |
| ArcSighter | a second | 18:33 |
| x1250 | !daily | 18:33 |
| ubottu | Daily builds of the CD images of the current development version of Ubuntu are available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ and http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | 18:33 |
| ArcSighter | x1250: DRI R300 Project | 18:34 |
| x1250 | ArcSighter, thats fine. | 18:34 |
| tretle | brilliant, thanks for the link... ext4 here i come :) :P | 18:34 |
| drakesoft | hmm i want to test kubuntu amd64 alpha3 | 18:34 |
| ArcSighter | x1250, i'll log in a different user | 18:34 |
| ArcSighter | to test | 18:34 |
| ArcSighter | wait a minute | 18:34 |
| arcsighter | x1250: i'm in another user | 18:38 |
| arcsighter | I'll test | 18:38 |
| arcsighter | x1250 Im in another user, even with VE enabled and I got no slowdowns | 18:41 |
| x1250 | arcsighter, then try cleaning your gnome configuration for the bad user, and that should do it. | 18:41 |
| arcsighter | exactly which dirs | 18:42 |
| arcsighter | wait, let me open thunderbird | 18:42 |
| arcsighter | for testing | 18:42 |
| arcsighter | ok it's working | 18:43 |
| arcsighter | what should I delete .gconf .gconfd .gnome2 .gnome2_private | 18:43 |
| arcsighter | what? | 18:43 |
| x1250 | arcsighter, yep, try that. | 18:44 |
| arcsighter | all of them | 18:44 |
| arcsighter | ??? | 18:44 |
| arcsighter | a fail-safe gnome won't do fine??? | 18:44 |
| x1250 | I don't know what fail-safe does, so I can't tell. | 18:46 |
| arcsighter | fail-safe gnome session | 18:46 |
| arcsighter | ok I'm off | 18:46 |
| Ienorand | how do I upgrade to latest jaunty from ibex? | 18:48 |
| x1250 | Ienorand, in terminal: update-manager -d | 18:49 |
| Ienorand | x1250: nice cheers | 18:50 |
| Ienorand | x1250: So apt-get is unable to do this? | 18:51 |
| Pici | Ienorand: update-manager does some additional manipulation to properly upgrade to a new release. Including automatically updating your sources.list etc. | 18:52 |
| x1250 | I read in DistUpgradeController.py that it runs with --force-overwrite by default. update-manager-0.96.3/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py seems to have all the magic. | 19:09 |
| x1250 | also, man update-manager has some info. | 19:09 |
| x1250 | well, little info. | 19:10 |
| mvo_ | x1250: what do you want to know? | 19:10 |
| mvo_ | (what specific information) | 19:10 |
| x1250 | mvo_, just reading the thing to get an idea of what it does. I don't know what I'm looking for until I see something interesting. | 19:12 |
| mvo_ | x1250: heh :) check out the DistUpradeQuirks.py then too | 19:13 |
| mvo_ | it deals with the little oddities that creep in | 19:13 |
| mvo_ | (also the quirks section for jaunty is very small) | 19:13 |
| x1250 | oh, ok, thanks, I'll read that :) | 19:14 |

| mikhmv | anybody have problem with random freezing xorg in juanty? | 19:38 |
| woody86 | BUGabundo1 , x1250 , it's an integrated ittel chipset | 19:38 |
| woody86 | intel* | 19:38 |
| BUGabundo1 | intel as been going a bit under the road lately. they used to be so stalbe | 19:39 |
| x1250 | IIRC, there is some info about intel on ubuntuforums.org, but maybe old info. | 19:40 |
| x1250 | woody86, try using vesa, or creating a new user and see if it works better. | 19:40 |
| woody86 | x1250, how can I switch over to vesa? I've never had to switch drivers before | 19:41 |
| x1250 | woody86, put a line that reads: Driver "vesa", on /etc/X11/xorg.conf, under Section Device. | 19:42 |
| x1250 | woody86, then pastebin your xorg.conf, to see if its ok. | 19:43 |
| genii | If it's an i810 they don't like vesa as a driver much, you just get white screen. For them you need specifically i810 driver | 19:43 |
| woody86 | I have the 945gm chipset | 19:44 |
| charlie-tca | x1250: you get the i810 to work in jaunty? | 19:44 |
| aq12s1 | Hi - I upgraded from Intrepid to Jaunty yesterday - Nvidia drivers (v180.22) worked after adding IgnoreABI, my AR5007 chipset (which was unsupported in Intrepid) was detected (as ath5k is now included). Sound worked fine as always. Just wanted to say that the release is looking great and I didn't have any major problems - congrats on the great work you've done. :) | 19:45 |
| x1250 | charlie-tca, IIRC there were some problems with intel on alpha2. Don't know now. | 19:45 |
| BUGabundo1 | aq12s1: is 180 in the repos or PPA? | 19:45 |
| BUGabundo1 | or are you using nvidia version? | 19:45 |

| aq12s1 | http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/nvidia-glx-180 | 19:47 |
| BUGabundo1 | $ apt-cache policy nvidia-glx-180 Installed: (none) Candidate: 180.22-0ubuntu2 | 19:47 |
| BUGabundo1 | you are correct | 19:47 |
| BUGabundo1 | let me try to see if I can make may 8400m G work with it | 19:47 |
| aq12s1 | good luck (Y) | 19:47 |
| BUGabundo1 | so I can bump Xorg that is queued in UM | 19:47 |
| woody86 | x1250, here's my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/105675/ | 19:48 |
| x1250 | woody86, looks ok to me. | 19:48 |
| woody86 | x1250, ok, now ctrl+alt+backspace enough to get it to work, or do i need to reboot? | 19:49 |
| x1250 | woody86, no reboot, just restartx, ctrl+alt+bckspce, or end your session. Getting to gdm will do. | 19:50 |
| woody86 | ok, brb | 19:50 |
| BUGabundo1 | wasn't c+a+d disabled on Alpha2 ? | 19:50 |
| charlie-tca | yes, BUGabundo1 | 19:51 |
| x1250 | BUGabundo1, it can be enabled in Section "ServerFlags", Option "DontZap" "False" | 19:51 |
| charlie-tca | no, sorry, ctrl+alt+bkspace was, though | 19:52 |
| BUGabundo1 | charlie-tca: but I still have it on, and didn't manually changed anyting | 19:52 |
| BUGabundo1 | yeah backspace | 19:52 |
| BUGabundo1 | typo | 19:52 |
| charlie-tca | I haven't been able to use it with alpha3 prerelease either | 19:53 |
| BUGabundo1 | but I do! just did yesterday and today | 19:53 |
| x1250 | BUGabundo1, it was disabled in the new Xorg. | 19:53 |
| BUGabundo1 | but as I said, I still have xorg updates in queue | 19:53 |
| BUGabundo1 | ahh ok | 19:53 |
| charlie-tca | could be me. My emachines can't find the keyboard today | 19:56 |
| woody86 | x1250, nope, couldn't ctrl+alt+backspace, so had to reboot, and then error came up when trying to startx: 'no screen found' | 19:57 |
| woody86 | so had to remove vesa driver to start it | 19:57 |
| x1250 | woody86, that sound like a bug. vesa _should_ work, but well, there seems to be a practical difference between is and should. Maybe open a bug in launchpad? | 19:58 |
| x1250 | woody86, try creating another user, and see how it goes | 19:58 |
| woody86 | ok, lemme try | 19:59 |
| woody86 | the 'unlock' feature is grayed out in 'users settings' | 20:00 |
| woody86 | x1250, is there a way to do it with the command line? | 20:01 |
| x1250 | woody86, $ sudo adduser woody87 | 20:02 |
| woody86 | brb | 20:03 |
| woody86 | x1250, you sir, are a genius! :) | 20:13 |
| x1250 | woody86, thats what my mom says :D, lol | 20:13 |
| woody86 | x1250, now if I remove this new user will it go back to being screwy? | 20:13 |
| woody86 | haha | 20:13 |
| === mvo__ is now known as mvo | ||
| x1250 | woody86, try cleaning up your local dirs, .gnome*, .gconf* and friends. | 20:16 |
| woody86 | x1250, removing them? | 20:20 |
| x1250 | woody86, or moving them, your choice. | 20:21 |
| woody86 | x1250, ok, then what? | 20:22 |
| x1250 | just restart X and your user should be like brand new, or sort of. | 20:23 |
| woody86 | ok, brb again | 20:24 |
| Melik | is jaunty still on freeze? | 20:30 |
| woody86 | x1250, cool, now ho can I remove the fake user completely? | 20:30 |
| Melik | jaunty alpha 3* | 20:31 |
| x1250 | woody86, use deluser command | 20:33 |
| woody86 | ok, I removed it from the 'user settings' page again, but the home folder is stall there? | 20:34 |
| hggdh | woody86, sudo rm -rf /home/fakeuser | 20:34 |
| hggdh | no spaces on the directory name | 20:35 |
| hggdh | better yet | 20:35 |
| hggdh | cd /home | 20:35 |
| hggdh | rm -rf fakeuser | 20:35 |
| woody86 | hggdh, x1250 thanks guys :) | 20:36 |
| woody86 | I'm gonna reboot to test it all out :) | 20:37 |
| woody86 | hggdh, x1250 Thanks again guys! Everything seems to be working great now :) | 20:53 |
| x1250 | woody86, great :) | 20:53 |
| hggdh | welcome | 20:54 |
| mphill | ls -al | 21:11 |
| jnjackins | alpha 3 being released today? | 21:13 |
| mphill | probably not | 21:18 |
| mphill | just get the daily live cd | 21:18 |
| mphill | or run update-manager -d | 21:18 |
| woody86 | well my xorg was working fine, until I closed my laptop lid. Now it's back to eating my CPU :( | 21:41 |
| woody86 | anyone have any ideas? | 21:43 |
| mphill | woody86: do you know which process is sucking up the cpu? | 21:45 |
| woody86 | xorg | 21:47 |
| mphill | try putting " xset -dpms " in your ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc file (no quotes) | 21:48 |
| mphill | then run sudo /etc/init.d.gdm to restart X (this will end your irc session) | 21:49 |
| mphill | sorry " xset -dpms s off " | 21:50 |
| woody86 | mphill, those files in the home dir? I can't find them | 21:53 |
| x1250 | gnome-system-log is getting in my nerves. Why can't it open the damn logs at the las page? Ok, let it open it in the first line, the first time the log is opened, but every time the log is viewed, is just too much. I guess I'll open a bug report on gnome's bugzilla. | 21:56 |

| Hagg1 | Does anyone know how much Alfa3 is delayed? | 21:58 |
| BUGabundo1 | Hagg1: isn't it out yet? autch | 21:59 |
| Hagg1 | BUGabundo1: Alfa3 should be out as of yesterday according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule but http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/alpha-3/ gives HTTP404 | 22:01 |
| apokalyp1 | it's out when QA is finished | 22:01 |
| hggdh | btw, help is welcome ;-) | 22:01 |
| BUGabundo1 | yes it should | 22:02 |
| BUGabundo1 | that's why I ask Hagg1 | 22:02 |
| Hagg1 | maby I'll try with alfa2 for the moment, I only want to use a LiveCD to confim a bug in a DVB-driver, no big stuff | 22:05 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| Hagg1 | hggdh: what needs to be done with the QA, and where do I find it? | 22:06 |
| Hagg1 | BUGabundo1: what do you ask me? I'm confused | 22:08 |
| hggdh | Hagg1, channel is #ubuntu-testing; help with testing the ISOs is needed | 22:09 |
| BUGabundo1 | LOL | 22:09 |
| hggdh | Hagg1, the ISO you will get is pretty much the final ISO (if no problems) | 22:10 |
| Hagg1 | hggdh: is there anything special you want me to test or report (exept from my bug #229879)? | 22:14 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 229879 in linux "My DVB-card is flooding the consol with "recv bulk message failed"" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/229879 | 22:14 |
| BUGabundo1 | Hagg1: if the installer allows you to set 2 partitions (one ext4 and one swap) let me know! | 22:15 |
| BUGabundo1 | there was a bug with it, and it made me postpone my fresh install | 22:15 |
| Hagg1 | BUGabundo1 & hggdh: shall I post output from lshw or something somewhere, to confirm what is working, or do we ignore the working hardware? | 22:16 |
| BUGabundo1 | Hagg1: bug 310083 | 22:17 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 310083 in ubiquity "ubiquity crashed with KeyError in partman_edit_dialog()" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/310083 | 22:17 |
| Hagg1 | BUGabundo1: where can I find a daily ISO where the fix is included? | 22:22 |
| BUGabundo1 | !dailies | 22:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dailies | 22:25 |
| BUGabundo1 | !daily | 22:25 |
| ubottu | Daily builds of the CD images of the current development version of Ubuntu are available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ and http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | 22:25 |
| hggdh | Hagg1, current ISO testing images are at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ if you want to help | 22:30 |
| Hagg1 | hggdh: ok? What is the difference between the images on your link and the images on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ ? | 22:31 |
| hggdh | the link provides the most-near-real ISO images for Alpha3 right now, and probably supersede the latest daily | 22:33 |
| hggdh | i.e., if the tests are successfull, they will become official Alpha3 | 22:34 |
| Hagg1 | ok, it seems to be the same iso at the moment; 20090116.3 | 22:36 |
| Hagg1 | hggdh: where do I find the iso on your link? I only find testcases | 22:39 |
| Melik | anyone know what pktcdvd is? | 22:39 |
| Melik | because i get this error at boot up, something like: | 22:40 |
| hggdh | Hagg1, weird. I can get the images. Each option on the page will navigate you to another page, with the images | 22:41 |
| joejc | whats new in jaunty? | 22:42 |
| hggdh | Melik, packet DVD writer? | 22:42 |
| Melik | mknod /dev/pktcdvd/control | 22:43 |
| hggdh | joejc, pretty much everything, if you are talking about programmes | 22:43 |
| Melik | hggdh, honestly no idea | 22:43 |
| Melik | its some error like that | 22:43 |
| joejc | how buggy is it? | 22:43 |
| Hagg1 | hggdh: ahh, now I found them.. the link is camoflaged :) | 22:43 |

| Melik | bash: cd: /dev/pktcdvd/: Too many levels of symbolic links | 22:45 |
| Melik | melik@matrix:/$ | 22:45 |
| Melik | :/ | 22:45 |
| Hagg1 | *camouflaged | 22:46 |
| hggdh | Melik, you have a /dev/<whatever> file in 9.04? | 22:47 |
| hggdh | joejc, is is -- right now -- quite unstable. Read the channel title ;-) | 22:48 |
| joejc | is it usable as a main os? | 22:48 |
| Melik | what hggdh ? | 22:49 |
| hggdh | joejc, if you know Linux, and you are not afraid of having to recover from bad things, then use it. *I* do, but I have had some very bad experiences | 22:50 |
| hggdh | Melik, Jaunty should not use /dev anymore | 22:50 |
| Melik | hggdh, is there any way to revert back to intrepid? | 22:53 |
| hggdh | Melik, not really, apart from a full reinstall. | 22:55 |
| hggdh | Melik, did you install any non-ubuntu package/programme? | 22:56 |
| Melik | yeah i have a couple | 22:56 |
| Melik | man i just dont want to do an entire install :/ | 22:57 |
| Melik | too long to configure | 22:57 |
| Melik | and remove un-needed bloatware | 22:58 |
| hggdh | would any of these deal with DVDs? | 22:58 |
| Melik | what? | 22:58 |
| hggdh | would any of these non-ubuntu packages deal with DVDs? | 22:58 |
| Melik | oh no | 22:58 |
| hggdh | pity. It would simplify the issue... | 22:59 |
| Melik | eh its fine | 22:59 |
| Melik | i think im going to do a minimal ubuntu install | 22:59 |
| Melik | and just build up from there | 22:59 |
| hggdh | well, yes, you could. | 22:59 |
| hggdh | Melik, pktcdvd seems to be a kernel module | 23:02 |
| hggdh | hum. the module is not present anymore on 2.6.28-4 | 23:03 |
