sectechNot looking for support,  just a general question and are looking for a general answer.   Are there still Nvidia restricted drivers in Jaunty?00:33
sectechyes/no is all I am looking for00:33
RAOF__Yes.00:34
sectechGood enough00:34
RAOF__There are also shiny new open-source nouveau drivers, too.00:34
sectechAwesome....  Someone post to our newsgroup saying that there arn't any Nvidia restricted drivers in Jaunty, which made no sense so I thought I would verify00:35
sectechI just bought a 22 inch monitor and are now running dual monitor support lol...00:35
RAOF__nouveau is awesome for that :)00:35
sectechIt probably WILL break when I upgrade.... but I can fix it00:35
RAOF__The nvidia restricted drivers still need an xorg.conf option, because they don't officially support our Xorg version.00:35
sectechFinally though some decent nvidia drivers that arn't closed source.00:36
RAOF__No (supported) 3d from nouveau, though, and no suspend/resume.00:36
sectechmaybe now when I triage bugs and they deal with nvidia stuff I won't be thinking they are up the creek without the paddle...00:36
RAOF__But better 2d performance than nvidia, and nicer dual-head support.00:36
sectechmeh, don't care about 3d that much.... I don't use it00:37
sectechIs there going to be a doc with all the changes when it comes to that?00:37
sectechit might get a little confusing trying to triage nvidia stuff if we don't really know what changed00:38
RAOF__Yeah, the release notes as normal.00:38
sectechIt's a start I guess00:38
RAOF__Well, the nouveau drivers are in Universe; the only people using them will be those who want to test them.00:38
sectechyeah but I end up triaging the reports that come in... (I'm a member of bug-control), I'll talk to my clan about some kind of guideline to go by for those then00:40
RAOF__launchpad.net/nouveau has some guidelines for bug reports against nouveau; basically, they're worthless without an Xorg.0.log _and_ a dmesg log with an appropriate option.00:42

greatcaffeineDoes anyone happen to know why xorg.conf is completely blank in 9.04?06:20
Teknobecause Xorg generates it itself when needed in startup06:21
greatcaffeineSo are the configuration values stored anywhere?06:22
Teknono06:22
greatcaffeineInteresting...  thanks for the info. :)06:22
tritiumgreatcaffeine: if you need to specify specific things, you *can* create one06:22
Teknoyea, it reads xorg.conf, but if some of configuration isn't there, that  will be generated06:23
greatcaffeineWell, what I was specifically trying to do was manually increase the amount of RAM allocated to my GMA 950.06:25
greatcaffeineI know there used to be a "videoram" option, but I'm not sure if it does anything.06:25
greatcaffeineAnd then I was surprised when xorg.conf was totally blank. :)06:25
Tekno:)06:26
Teknobut guess what06:26
Teknoi was very surprised when I found that also FSTAB was empty on my system06:27
jrgp0_)06:27
jrgpfor me /etc/fstab is not in any way empty06:27
Teknoyea, that's only empty if HAL does mounting06:28
greatcaffeineYeah, my fstab has some junk in it.06:28
jrgpmakes sense considering I've a slightly complex hd layout06:29
greatcaffeineHave you guys gotten sound to work in Jaunty?06:31
jrgpgreatcaffeine, it does work06:31

pwnguinok, ive been wondering this for a while now, what determines when a package is held back?07:27
pwnguinfor example deluge torrent07:28
cwillupwnguin, depending on an old version of a package that you don't have, or that other packages need the newer versions of07:28
pwnguineven dist-upgrade won't touch it07:28
cwillupwnguin, mark it for upgrade in synaptic, and see what packages it says will be removed (aptitude would tell you too)07:30
pwnguincwillu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109699/07:30
pwnguini thouhgt dist-upgrade didn't care about removing packages07:30
cwillupwnguin, obsolete packages07:31
cwilluit won't break the dependencies of stuff that is installed though07:32
pwnguinim confident it's fine07:32
cwilluit's just willing to remove packages in order to do it07:32
cwillupwnguin, did update-manager offer to do a partial upgrade?07:32
pwnguinbut im not sure why dist-upgrade won't do this07:32
pwnguincwillu: nope07:32
pwnguinits grayed out in distribution updates07:33
cwillupwnguin, I mean, it didn't pop up a dialog when you started it?07:33
pwnguini dont run the gui tool often07:33
pwnguinbad habit i guess07:33
cwillunot terribly07:34
cwilludist-upgrade in apt-get?07:34
cwilluor aptitude?07:34
pwnguinapt-get07:34
cwilluoh07:34
pwnguini just tested aptitude and it seems willing to do it07:34
cwilluaptitude is recommended over apt-get these days iirc07:34
mvopwnguin: from first glance it might be a glitch with the resolver in apt that you are hitting, that it things the new version is not that interessting because   deluge-torrent-common needs to be removed -o debug::pkgproblemresolver=true will tell you for your07:35
cwillu...because of the dependency handling07:35
pwnguini thought apt-get was just a frontend to aptitude for lamers like me these days07:35
cwilluapt-get is a frontend to dpkg07:35
pwnguinmvo: you got cut off07:35
mvoits really that apt-get and aptitude are frontends to libapt07:35
mvobut aptitude has some additional goodies :)07:36
mvolike a different resolver for dependency problems07:36
pwnguinalright07:36
pwnguini just figured there was some circumstance that triggered these sorts of things07:37
pwnguinobviously dep resolution is complex, if it can be reduced to sudoku07:37
cwillupwnguin, it can also be reduced to packing boxes into your car07:38
cwillu(as can sudoku, as a matter of fact)07:38
pwnguinwell, if its just a failure and not some packaging heurestic i wasn't aware of, i feel better07:39
mvowe usually help the poor little resolver in apt by helping in cases like this with transitional pakcages and this like07:40

cwilluweird, my suspend/pm-utils/dbus/gnome-power-manager issues went away after unhooking the inhibit call, suspending, and then hooking it back up11:10

cwilluwould disconnect the network, and reconnect, but nothing else would happen11:11
BUGabundo'cause it won't manage lcd bright after resume11:11
cwillutraced the execution into the same pm-suspend that I was running by hand:  it was getting there11:11
cwillubut getting caught in a inhibit hook11:11
cwilluwas trying to figure out which one, and changed the inhibited function to always return no11:12
cwillususpended from gnome, worked as expected11:12
cwillureverted the change to inhibited()11:12
cwilluand... it still worked11:12
* BUGabundo is lost!11:13
cwillu(inhibited is in /usr/lib/pm-utils/functions)11:13
cwilluno idea why it's working now, some state must have been changed in a file somewhere to make it start working again11:13
cwillubut it was persisting across reboots, dpkg -P remove's of pm-utils and related, etc11:13

cwillubecause it works around it for the toshiba, apparently :p11:15

historeliabilty15:19
histoIf you can deal with it being broken and possibly having to reinstall due to some update that they are working on then yes install it. Otherwise stick witht he releases.15:19
khalidmianhisto: i have installed kubuntu within windows and dont have any imp stuff in it = can uninstall kubuntu and reinstall it im assuming applies to jaunty too?15:20

histoKeep in mind if it aint broke don't fix it.15:21
histowell in that case then go ahead wth.15:21
khalidmianhisto: ive uninstalled and reinstalled kubuntu quadra million times- a newbie so i just enjoy experimenting with it i guess15:22
khalidmianhisto: which means bottom line im just a regular user not a developer or a wizz kid15:23
histok.  See i use it as my only OS on some machines to installing jaunty on those wouldn't make sense. But I have a box that I just install this sort of thing on just to test and see if there are any bugs with my hardware.15:23
