BUGabundoguys did anyone upgrade from ibex to jaunty from Xubuntu?00:02
BUGabundomy friend ended up with GNOME! ROFL00:02
akiohowdy00:50
akioso when are we going to get the shiny new KMS stuff?00:51
nikolambah, anyane else have dvd/cd drive regarded in fstab as /dev/sdc0 and /dev/scd0 points to /dev/sr001:06
nikolamit is PATA DVD01:07
ali1234nikolam: is that unusual?01:08
nikolamali1234, it used to be /dev/hda before. Also mkudffs /dev/scd0 reports: trying to change type of multiple extents01:11
ali1234all pata ide stuff was changed to sd* ages ago :)01:12
ali1234like a year ago at least01:13
nikolamali1234, don`t know, i used hardy :)01:14
nikolamanyway, can you format blank cdrw or dvd+rw as udf?01:14
charlie-tcanikolam: been a long time since it was hd?01:15
ali1234nikolam: i never tried01:15
charlie-tcaMy PATA dvd is the same way01:15
nikolamI don`t think that is sd* eather i have like sr0 here ..01:15
ali1234that's normal01:16
charlie-tcait is /dev/sr0, but cdrom and cdrom0 work01:16
nikolamok so anyone used to format any udf cdrw or dvd lately?01:16
nikolamin jaunty01:16
ali1234i have sr0 -> scd0 on intrepid01:17
ali1234been that way as long as i can remember01:17
nikolami am testin jaunty01:17
ali1234and my pata hd is sda01:17
ali1234my jaunty machine doesn't have a cdrom :)01:17
nikolambut i have scd0 > sr001:17
nikolamso both floppies and dvd`s don`t count on jaunty? :)01:18
nikolamsince there is no floppy icon eather.01:18
charlie-tcaWhat do mean "don't count"? My drive scd0 > sr0 works fine, from what I have used it for01:19
nikolamOk, sorry01:19
nikolambut floppy is missing01:19
nikolamcan anyone also confirm it can read udf disks01:20
nikolamor make udf formatted cdrw or dvd+rw?01:20
charlie-tcaTry putting a floppy in at startup; see if it reads it then. That works in 8.1001:22
nikolamcharlie-tca, where is startup, i use xfce here. xubuntu jaunty01:23
charlie-tcaWhen you start the computer01:24
nikolamdo you think it should be displayed by default or not?01:24
nikolama haa01:24
charlie-tcaI have seen a bug report on that, and for the reporter it worked if a disk was in the drive when starting.01:24
nikolamok wil try. hm. will get back after.01:24
charlie-tcaI have not been able to use floppies in jaunty01:24
nikolamcharlie-tca, no, same thing. it does not matter if floppy is in drive, there is line missing in /etc/fstab01:32
nikolamand directory missing in /media01:32
nikolamBut I need to know if it is intentionally01:32
nikolametc01:32
charlie-tcaOkay. I can not get floppies to work either in jaunty. I was told it should work before the final release01:33
nikolamok.01:34
=== RAOF_ is now known as RAOF
nikolamhi02:20
nikolamHi to tell what X server driver I use, since xorg.conf is blank?  I installed fglrx with synaptic in jaunty but how to make shure it is used? (reporting standby failure)02:20
Matirnikolam, what it's using would be listed in /var/log/Xorg.0.log02:20
nikolamMatir, how would user change driver used?02:21
RAOFnikolam: As I understand it, fglrx in Jaunty won't work.02:22
nikolamRAOF, but it is in repository02:22
nikolamBut other question how user can change server/driver for X that he wants to use?02:23
RAOFnikolam: Yeah, but only to check for packaging problems, in the hope that a new driver that actually works with our Xorg will be released.02:23
RAOFnikolam: But if you want to try, you will, indeed, need an xorg.conf.  The "Hardware Drivers" manager will create one for you, if you use it.02:23
nikolamRAOF, Hardware device manager seems blank.02:23
RAOFnikolam: Because it knows that there's no fglrx driver that will work for you ;)02:24
nikolamI never realized actually where all those setiings are stored now, after removing of corg.conf by default, anyway02:24
RAOFThe defaults are in the server, but it's all autodetected.02:24
nikolamRAOF, ahaha I will try to make packages for newest ATI driver02:24
RAOFDoes _that_ support our Xorg?02:25
nikolami will see :)02:25
nikolamI am using it on hardy i will make and install jaunty packages for fglrx and come back to tell if it works etc02:26
nikolamRAOF, haha after making package, it is saying that _Later_ package (newer) is inside repository: xorg-driver-fglrx02:37
nikolamchecking..02:38
victory747Hi, i'm running into a packaging issue in jaunty - specifically in bzr - how do I go about reporting this02:44
RAOFhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bzr/+bugs02:47
victory747ok, thanks02:47
burneranyone know how I can fix twinview using nvidia?04:04
RAOF"sudo nvidia-xconfig --twinview"?04:06
RAOFburner: You mean the part where trying to change dual-head settings in nvidia-settings results in an error along the lines of "no metamode for $FOO"?04:06
burnerinteresting, i had no idea that flag was there04:06
burneryeah!04:06
burnerit used to work around alpha2-304:06
RAOFburner: Well, I've fixed that by installing xserver-xorg-video-nouevau :P04:06
burnerdo you have twin view with that?  how do you configure it?  I tried nouveau but it gave me a black screen04:07
RAOFburner: System->Preferences->Screen Resolution.  Nouveau supports XRandR 1.2, so standard tools work fine.04:07
burneri'm hip to trying nouveau, you've been pushing this whole dev cycle ;)04:07
RAOFWriting the twinview stuff to your xorg.conf with nvidia-xconfig will make the binary driver light up all the screens connected when X is started, though.04:08
burnerwell, I'm goign for nouveau again :)04:08
burneranything I have to do to regenerate xorg.conf for nouveau?04:09
RAOFYou need to ensure there's a Driver "nouveau" line in there, but that's it.04:10
RAOFIf it works, huzzah!04:10
burnerbueno... brb04:10
RAOFIf it doesn't, well, there's a new snapshot coming soon :)04:10
burneri feel like such a redhat user with the new "sudo service gdm restart"04:11
burnerit works!  thanks raof04:14
RAOFburner: Cool.  What card?04:15
burnerGeForce 7300 LE04:15
RAOFFunky.  Fast, high quality Xv!04:17
burnerdoesn't look like i have compositing... compiz won't start and I can check the box in gconf-editor for compositing in metacity, but i can't see any indication that it's working04:17
RAOFAlso, if you don't run a composite manager, your Xv is sync'd to vblank on _both_ plugged in monitors!04:18
burnerwell... the administration dialog had real transparency, so composite + metacity works, why not in compiz?04:18
RAOFWell... because nouveau doesn't provide 3d yet :)04:18
burnercompiz is 3d compositing even?  interesting04:19
burneri also have soem weird font chopping bug04:19
RAOFCompiz is an OpenGL compositing window manager; it uses OpenGL to do all its funky effects.04:19
RAOFOooh!  Bugs!04:19
burneryeah, i love it :)04:19
RAOFIf it's annoying, we can start the process of filing bugs :).04:20
burnerit's interesting how it deals with my wallpaper... is there a way to control it better than just spanning one image?04:20
* burner has a launchpad account that will get some work this week with nouveau I'm sure04:20
RAOFburner: No.  The spanned image is nautilus not being particularly dual-head friendly.04:22
burneraww... i guess it's the same with the nvidia driver.. it'd kde that's different04:28
RAOFKWin actually has an XRender (read: lighting fast on nouveau) backend for (some of) its effects.  It's quite a fun window manager.04:30
RAOFAnd, yes.  It's the same with the nvidia driver.04:30
* burner can't switch to kde... something keeps annoying me04:31
RAOFOh, yeah.  But you _can_ use KWin in gnome :)04:32
RAOFAlthough it doesn't handle dual-head quite as well as metacity, so I'm no longer using it.04:32
burnerboth are better than xfwm4 for me on dualhead04:36
RAOFQuite possible.  I've never used xfwm04:36
burnernow if someone could figure out how to full screen a flash video on one side, and still be able to click windows on the other side, we'd be all set :)04:37
burneri've never been able to use this Xrandr control before, it's pretty simple, but smoother than the nvidia-settings04:39
RAOFYes.  It's really good.04:42
RAOFHey.  Fullscreen video on one head & doing stuff on the other doesn't work?04:42
burnernot fullscreen flash04:42
burnerfullscreen totem or mplayer or dragonplayer are fine (my vlc sucks, but that's another issue... could it be that i'm using xvideo out?)04:43
RAOFDoes it take a pointer grab and make any clicks un-fullscreen, or something.04:43
burnerexactly04:43
RAOFXvideo is what you want.  Nice and fast on nouveau, and sync'd to vblank.04:43
burneri bet it's a flash issue04:43
burneri guess my vlc is fine... must have been with nvidia... but it doesn't show up in the video window, but creates a new window04:45
punkrockguy318Uh, is booting into the -7 kernel with grub kernel panicing for anyone else?05:42
SwedeMikeno, works fine here.05:44
punkrockguy318SwedeMike: aw damn I guess i'll have to write the error down, but the kernel is complaining about ACPI and the UUID or something but -6 works fine05:49
punkrockguy318Oh, found my answer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=779799 if anyone is reading this log and has the same problem05:52
CosmiChaosdid anyone get shares-admin to work or even samba?06:27
CosmiChaos** (shares-admin:4603): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '4603'06:27
CosmiChaosi have no startmenu-entry in systemadministration for shares-admin06:28
CosmiChaos:( any idea?06:28
CosmiChaosdid anyone get shares-admin to work or even samba?07:53
CosmiChaosbtw alpha4 with latest dist-upgrade runs well on 64 bit07:55
CosmiChaosi never had a so fast booting os :O07:55
CosmiChaosit's a pitty we dont step on to 2.6.29, hopefuly there will be at least an option to upgrade to 2.6.29 when 9.04 is final. i really dont want to wait for 9.10 for that kernel07:56
CosmiChaosi guess the release rc7 at the beginning of the next week, imho it will be final before kernel freeze, but kernel main version depends on feature freeze ;p bad07:59
CosmiChaosmain version = versions08:00
syockitsure there'll be a new kernel packaged around that time08:42
syockitbtw rc7??08:43
ikoniaI didn't know there was any RC's ?08:43
ikoniathought it was still in alpha/beta cycle08:43
syockiti only had rc408:43
syockitikonia: no, that was about the kernel08:43
syockitI'm running on 29-rc408:44
ikoniaahhh kernel rc's08:44
CosmiChaosgooooooooood mooooorning jaaaauuunty :D08:44
CosmiChaosyes kernel rcs, i guess rc7 will be released about monday or thursday08:45
CosmiChaosi think there will be rc9 maximum rc14 before final08:45
syockitwhy isn't it on kernel.org, this rc7?08:46
CosmiChaosor i dont know, caunting the developement time and try to find it somewhere near the last releases it could maybe go final just on rc808:46
ikoniayou can't judge it on the last release ?08:47
CosmiChaosbecause im speculating :D08:47
ikoniajust because one release went to rc8 - doesn't mean the next would be "around that"08:47
CosmiChaosno but the last 4 release took a approximately developement time08:47
ikoniait's pointless to speculate on this a.) in an ubuntu channel b.) unless your on the development list and following the status in detail08:47
CosmiChaost:D08:48
syockitcannot find it, not even on lkml08:49
CosmiChaosthe path for kernels for jaunty is clear, so ive nothing to say uppon that except of pleasing for a 2.6.29 ubuntu release for jaunty after it goes stable08:50
CosmiChaosenough would be when both are stable and a weeks later there is an option to upgrade08:50
CosmiChaoswaiting for 9.10 seems to be inacceptable for me and maybe other users08:52
syockithmm, I wonder what rt patches do?08:52
CosmiChaosi dont really guess 2.6.29 takes longer than jaunty ;)08:52
RAOFWhat do you desperately need in .29?08:52
CosmiChaosi can tell you that when the final is out08:53
CosmiChaos;)08:53
CosmiChaosat first i want it08:53
RAOFOh.  It's just version number envy.  Right.08:54
CosmiChaosdue of normal innovation ;)08:54
CosmiChaosno not at all just "getting the higher" version08:54
syockitexcept for some bizzare new tech from some unknown hardware, I didn't find anything new in .2908:54
CosmiChaos2.6.29 is an experimenting kernel with lots of new features08:54
CosmiChaosatm i agree that i dont know any :D08:55
syockityeah, like when was the last time we had an experimenting kernel?08:55
CosmiChaoshm so ne version numbering scheme is lying?08:56
syockitん、そうね?08:56
syockitI'm starting to lose....08:57
CosmiChaosdoes jaunty really wants to jump 2.6.29 at all???08:57
syockitI don't think so08:57
syockitnot enough time before freeze08:58
CosmiChaosyi mean overjump08:58
CosmiChaosto generally not to use it at all not even in 9.04.1 or 9.04.0208:58
CosmiChaosnor through a general dist-upgrade08:58
ikoniaCosmiChaos: what are these new experimental featurs you want08:58
ikoniaCosmiChaos: you seem very keen for it - what exactly is it in .29 you want/need ?08:59
syockitextra PAT hacks?08:59
ikoniaI'm curious08:59
CosmiChaosikonia: ill get back to you wait some minute please while i inform myself, at which point i benefit from 2.7.2909:00
syockitGEM's already backported, so what else09:00
syockitbtrfs? incomplete....09:01
CosmiChaosikonia: hold it there are lots of09:02
syockitnew ati drivers>09:02
ikoniaCosmiChaos: I didn't say anything09:02
ikoniaCosmiChaos: I just asked what the features you where after where, the ones that you need/want very keen09:03
ikoniaCosmiChaos: you must know a few core ones to be this keen ?09:03
syockitwimax?09:05
ikoniaok - as there is no real answer, I suggest we stop discussing the kernel stuff, and just focus on the Jaunty development discusion as suggested in the topic09:05
syockityup, my fault. brought it too much offtopic09:06
ikonianot a big deal, but it's now getting into "I want bigger version number" discussion, which isn't really a disussion09:06
syockitthe other day someone was suggesting to reconsider the theme sounds that was proposed for intrepid, but didn't make it09:07
syockitmy life on jaunty's too peaceful right now. strange considering usually alpha4 is a hot period09:08
CosmiChaosikonia: improvements in the kernel's network support features espeacially GRO, maybe new wlan drivers for my new notebook in april, yeah kernel-based ap-function what be nice, lets go on... bluetooth suspend/resume saves energy for me, proper reliable suspend and hibernate, WIMAX will work on my new nootbook in April to, so i need that upgrades in 2.6.29, lets go on ... btrs rocks even more that ext4 could be a nice feature for jaunty09:10
CosmiChaos, HDMI and other 3D improvements for Kernel Modules for Xorg, so thats a lot isnt it?09:10
ikoniaCosmiChaos: it is when you've just cut and paste that and really didn't know that until someone asked09:11
CosmiChaosmaybe i dont need it for jaunty, but i definetly want it :D09:11
ikoniaCosmiChaos: you get much futher if you are just straight with people and lets be honest, you wanted a bigger version number,09:12
CosmiChaosikonia: and where is the problem by that, is the problem that i read about the new things after talking here or what is it?09:12
CosmiChaoscant you just argue on that features and why they are not accepted for jaunty?09:13
ikoniaCosmiChaos: the problem is you made an argument for the development of an operating system based on a bigger number - then when you got pulled on it, you had to go and research it09:13
ikoniaCosmiChaos: who says they are not accepted for jaunty ?09:13
CosmiChaosii read a article that canonical apokesman announced users will have to wait for 9.10 for 2.6.2909:14
CosmiChaosbut there was no argue on that, thats why i just ask09:14
CosmiChaosi find that statement quite dissappointing09:15
ikoniawhy ?09:16
ikoniathe operating system is less then 2 months away from release, and the kernel you want is still not marked as stable ?09:16
ikoniahow could you expect any distribution to swap at such a late time and not be a development release ?09:17
CosmiChaosso no its unstable i dodnt say anything else09:17
syockityou can compile it yourself by the time it's ripe. not that hard09:17
ikoniawhat do you mean "so no it's unstable" ?09:17
CosmiChaosbut that statement told says to me there will be definetly no possibility to upgrade to 2.6.29 in jaunty NEVER09:17
ikoniaCosmiChaos: why should there be ?09:18
CosmiChaoseven not WHEN it gets stable, thats my point09:18
ikoniaCosmiChaos: why should there be ?09:18
ikoniaCosmiChaos: features in ubuntu kernels are normally back ported rather than change the major version for stability reasons09:18
syockitI wonder if there's any point to this conversation09:18
ikoniait's quite common, Redhat have been doing this for years with great sucess on it's enterprise products09:18
CosmiChaoswhy not is ubuntu so unflexible to ignore that09:19
ikoniaCosmiChaos: re-read what I said09:19
ikoniaCosmiChaos: features are back ported09:19
CosmiChaosso you mean 2.6.28ubuntu will be the same than 2.6.2909:20
CosmiChaos???09:20
ikoniano, features from 2.6.29 will be back ported into the ubuntu kernel tree where appropriate ?09:20
crdlbyou can't possibly switch kernel versions in the middle of a stable release09:20
CosmiChaosor even have equal features or nearly09:20
crdlbnobody does that09:20
ikoniaCosmiChaos: features that are deemed compatible/stable/worth while09:20
CosmiChaoscrdlb: you cant force a switch, thats true, but can you add a possibilty for a switch??09:21
ikoniaCosmiChaos: did you read what he said09:21
CosmiChaosyes i do09:21
ikoniaCosmiChaos: he didn't say force any switch09:21
ikoniahe said "you cant possibly" and "no-one does that"09:22
ikoniaCosmiChaos: if you can provide an argument beyond "it has a bigger number that I want" - you'd be in a better place to discuss this09:22
ikoniaCosmiChaos: features are back ported, that should tick your "features I want" argument09:22
CosmiChaosi remembered there was a kernel switch in the last ubuntu versions09:22
CosmiChaosso you do09:22
ikoniaCosmiChaos: really - when ?09:22
ikoniaso do I ?09:22
CosmiChaosi dont know, you say ubuntu never did?09:23
ikoniaCosmiChaos: what release of ubuntu did a kernel updrade  ?09:24
CosmiChaosas i repeat i dont know, maybe im wrong09:24
ikoniaCosmiChaos: ok - so as far as I'm aware it's never happened09:24
ikoniaCosmiChaos: and if it did happen it would be a pretty big desision09:25
ikoniarather than "I want a bigger number, please upgrade"09:25
CosmiChaosso you never happened using the release kernel and at some day before next release you could upgrade to a newer kernel version09:25
ikoniaCosmiChaos: the features you want maybe backported once they are deemed stable, some of the fetures certainly seem worth while, such as the bluetooth standby, I wasn't aware of that, and it would be good09:25
ikoniaCosmiChaos: your not listening09:26
ikoniathe physial numbes on the kernel mean nothing to distros - those numbers are for vanillia kernels, most distros will back port stable features, so the base version will not change09:26
CosmiChaosso lol did i got that right, because of a stable release not fitting that window, you will rather backport every single new feature instead of just adding the new kernel?? looool09:27
ikoniathe physical number is basiclly the snap shot at that moment in time that the packaged kernel was based on09:27
ikoniaCosmiChaos: I'm afraid you don't understand what your saying09:27
CosmiChaosthere where no work is, we create it09:27
ikoniaCosmiChaos: what ?09:27
CosmiChaosis backporting an easy low time efficient job?09:28
ikoniadepends on what's been back ported09:28
CosmiChaoswimax for example09:29
ikoniait depends09:29
ikoniaI think we should probably drop this as its clear your just arguing version numbers, rather than comon sense running of production distros/software09:29
CosmiChaosof course it depends even how the weather shines how long it takes a developer when he does his work ;)09:29
ikoniaok now you've made the discussion silly09:29
ikonialets leave it09:29
CosmiChaos:D09:29
ikoniaI'm not laughing, I dont enojoy wasting my time09:30
CosmiChaosit was silly from the beginning09:30
ikoniait wasn't your initial question was valid09:30
=== Adys_ is now known as Adys
CosmiChaosphew then it was, may the force be with you09:31
CosmiChaosikonia: are the features of 2.6.28 backported to 2.6.27-rt, espeacially quickboot?09:34
ikoniaCosmiChaos:  I don't know what was back ported without looking09:36
CosmiChaosis there a reference was has been backported to rt?09:36
ikoniaCosmiChaos: in the change logs there probably is09:36
ikoniaI've not looked, I normally jusy follow the developers mail list09:36
CosmiChaosi follow the kernel daily09:37
CosmiChaoseven when i just dont understand 2/309:37
CosmiChaos:)09:37
TuTUXGanyone knows about vmware? i got vmplayer 2.5.1 installed but the vmnet configure makes my wireless connection unable to access internet, any options?09:37
ikoniaCosmiChaos: the ubuntu developers list - not lkml09:37
ikoniaTuTUXG: on ubuntu 9.04 ?09:38
TuTUXGikonia, yes09:38
CosmiChaosi you mean jaunty changes?09:38
TuTUXGikonia, i got a script from vmware forum to configure the mods with the new kernel09:38
ikoniaTuTUXG: probably bridging not configured correclty, this is common with qemu and wirless because wirless cards drivers do not all have bridging extensions09:38
TuTUXGikonia, so u mean if i use nat it should work?09:39
=== mvo__ is now known as mvo
ikoniaTuTUXG: no - I mean the wirless card drivers do not support bridging extensions in a lot of cases09:41
CosmiChaosbtw i didnt copied and pasted new kernel features, i wrote it after overlooking the newsarticels i read, and i read them before, i just dont remember in detail what the points were, so the statement of canonical for the new kernel in jaunty was dissappointing09:41
TuTUXGikonia, it worked fine with my old 8.10 installation09:41
ikoniaTuTUXG: your using a new kernel with different modules, I'm making a genalisation - not a factual statment, I've not researched it09:42
TuTUXGikonia, the thing is i can still connect to my router with my wireless connection09:42
ikoniaCosmiChaos: please drop it - it's clear your arguing bigger version numbers over substance09:42
ikoniaTuTUXG: but you can't get beyond your wirless router ?09:42
TuTUXGikonia, but cannot get beyond it09:43
TuTUXGexactly09:43
CosmiChaosikonia: why? because noones arguing about the features i mentioned in jaunty kernel?09:43
CosmiChaosthats not true09:43
TuTUXGikonia, i m guessing it's something wrong with the subnet vmplayer's using for vmnet09:43
ikoniaCosmiChaos: drop it please09:44
ikoniaTuTUXG: I wonder if it's created a conflict ?09:44
CosmiChaosok i drop that kernel and ask generally, is wimax in jaunty features till now?09:44
ikoniaTuTUXG: I have done that myself when I miss-configured a kvm host09:44
ikoniaCosmiChaos: is it in the 2.6.28 kernel ?09:44
CosmiChaosi dont know i can test it first ion april i have no such device09:45
CosmiChaosis it?09:45
ikoniaCosmiChaos: look in the kernel release notes09:45
TuTUXGikonia, i dont know, if my wireless is on 192.168.0.*, which one should be for the vmnet?09:45
ikoniaTuTUXG: what do you mean which one ?09:45
TuTUXGikonia, which subnet?09:45
ikoniaTuTUXG: depends how you set up the vmware server ?09:46
TuTUXGikonia, im not good at subnetting at all09:46
CosmiChaosnarf so it means it is in 2.6.28 i dont want to ask again when its not in 2.6.28 damn09:46
ikoniaCosmiChaos: your not making any sense09:46
ikoniaCosmiChaos: if the feature you want is in the stock 2.6.28 kernel - it is very likley it is in the current jaunty kernel (without checking in detail myself)09:47
ikoniaCosmiChaos: does that make it clearer ?09:47
CosmiChaosikonia: WiMaX is not in 2.6.28, so.. my question will it be in jaunty?09:47
ikoniaCosmiChaos: no09:47
ikoniaCosmiChaos: unless someone decides to backport an unstable features pre-release09:47
CosmiChaosO.o09:47
ikoniaor a feature from a non-marked-stable kernel to be clear09:48
TuTUXGikonia, should the bridged adaptor be in the same subnet with my wireless connection?09:48
ikoniaTuTUXG: it depends how you've set up your vmware host09:48
CosmiChaosand when it becomes stable, will it then be in Jaunty or is that part of the changes users have to wait for 9.10?09:49
ikoniaTuTUXG: you can put the guest on what ever network you like09:49
ikoniaCosmiChaos: it depoends it people decide it's worth back porting, critera such as stability/compatability/benifits/time etc will likley play a key factor09:49
CosmiChaosikonia: thanks for that information09:50
CosmiChaosthe benefits are magnificant09:50
CosmiChaoswimax rocks09:50
TuTUXGikonia, ok, if im going to use nat, should the gateway address be my wireless connection's ip?09:51
TuTUXGikonia, or its doesnt matter...09:51
ikoniaCosmiChaos: poor argument, I suggest you drop the topi now09:52
ikoniaTuTUXG: I think you need to read the vmware setup guide09:52
TuTUXGikonia, i guess so09:52
ikoniaTuTUXG: it should walk you through a basic setup09:52
TuTUXGikonia, the thing is with 2.5.1 they dont have that step by step script anymore....09:53
ikoniaTuTUXG: talk to vmware support then09:53
TuTUXGya, i should try that09:53
* DanaG ponders 2.6.2909:55
DanaGer09:55
DanaGwonders... will Jaunty have it?09:55
DanaGI sure hope so... I'd like to have the improved HP accelerometer driver.09:55
ikoniaDanaG: acording to CosmiChaos canonial made a release that it would not be in jaunty09:55
ikoniaI've not read that myself09:55
DanaGOh, and KMS.09:56
DanaGwould be dang cool.09:56
DanaGhmm, will there be a PPA, at least?09:56
DanaGThat'd be enough for me.09:56
DanaGEither that, or how long until the next development version?  =P09:57
ikoniaDanaG: next release would be 9.1009:57
DanaGI mean, until it has its kernel version available.09:57
DanaGPerhaps I should just file a report on that HP accelerometer thing -- wouldn't be too huge to backport.09:57
CosmiChaosDanaG: that means never to get canonical featured 2.6.29, because 9.10 will use 2.6.30 ;)09:58
DanaGGood enough for me.  =P09:58
ikoniaCosmiChaos: don't make stuff up09:58
ikoniaCosmiChaos: no-one said 8.10 will use .3009:58
DanaGs/8/9/09:58
ikonia9.1009:58
CosmiChaosikonia: was it so bad?09:58
ikoniaCosmiChaos: it can miss-lead people - yes09:58
ikoniaCosmiChaos: more so when you say your reading/commenting on official canonical statments09:58
CosmiChaosikonia: i said that, probably its wrong, but the chances are quite good well never see 2.6.29 in synaptic with a canonical mark,09:59
DanaGOne annoying issue: even on Intrepid, I can't use fglrx newer than 8.543.09:59
DanaGhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/31460010:00
ikoniaCosmiChaos: in 9.04 - yes, but you just said 9.10 will never use it and it will use .30 - that is not fact10:00
ubottuUbuntu bug 314600 in fglrx-installer "fglrx versions newer than 8.543 cause system hang and panic" [Undecided,Incomplete]10:00
ikoniaCosmiChaos: or even theory10:00
DanaG... with fuuuullllll stacktrace!10:00
DanaG(serial-over-lan) + (serial console) == ♥10:00
ikoniaDanaG: serial over lan is a big plus10:01
DanaGWhen I was buying my laptop, I just thought:10:01
DanaGHmm, just 35 bucks to have AMT enabled?  Might as well buy it; I'm sure I'll find a use for it.10:02
DanaGAnd I did.  =þ10:02
DanaGMy biggest gripe with radeon: it's aged my battery quite a bit.10:03
DanaGAnd I've only had this laptop for 2 months or so.10:03
DanaGDrawing 30 watts on battery == bad.10:03
DanaGIdle with fglrx is 19 watts.10:04
DanaGidle with radeon is 30 or higher.10:04
CosmiChaosikonia: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~apw/mainline/v2.6.29-rc4/10:05
DanaGIs that a PPA?10:05
DanaGOr just bare debs?10:06
CosmiChaosi guess bare debs i dont recommend them10:07
CosmiChaosi found it via http://blog.redvoodoo.org/2009/02/jaunty-kernel-bits.html10:07
DanaGyay.10:09
DanaGThanks!10:09
CosmiChaosbecause there are no restricted modules i will not test them because they are senseless for me10:09
DanaGThe only restricted module I use is fglrx.10:10
DanaGHeaders are enough for me.10:10
DanaGAnyway, my biggest things in 2.6.29: KMS (for Radeon), and HP accelerometer.10:10
CosmiChaoshm i use nvidia, is it enough to download latest nvidia from nvidia ftp and compile own modules?10:10
DanaGDon't do it that way; let dkms do it for you.10:11
ikoniaCosmiChaos: that's just someones home dir10:11
crdlbin case you missed the decription surrounding the link, that kernel is a vanilla kernel.org kernel10:12
CosmiChaosikonia: you mean the nvidia ftp mirror? of course it is private, what youd except, virusses? :D10:12
ikoniathe debugging kernel10:12
ikoniaCosmiChaos: what ????? I never mentioned anything about nvidia, I said the link you posted was just someone's home diretory on a web server10:12
DanaGI don't even remember exactly what "sauce" Ubuntu adds, actually.10:13
crdlbwhich is why they're providing vanilla for comparison now :)10:13
CosmiChaosah yes sry that you mean, ok i guess that person build a vanilla kernel of 2.6.29 for jaunty10:13
ikoniaCosmiChaos: forget about 2.6.29 - your getting worked up over nothing10:14
ikoniaCosmiChaos: the guys building ubuntu have years and years of experience, trust their judgment, they know better than you10:14
ikoniaCosmiChaos: they can see beyond version numbers, and have a bigger picture of how things are put together10:14
CosmiChaosuhm yes master lord, you want to indirectly say that im directly stupid, right? ;)10:15
ikoniano10:15
ikoniathat's not what I said10:15
CosmiChaoslittle padawans confused by version numbers, do mean that?10:15
CosmiChaosi just dont like backports10:16
ikoniaCosmiChaos: no - your whole initial argument was based on version numbers, we've discussed what pretty much every distro does to deal with kernel versions, and your still looking around for more 2.6.29 ubuntu package/kenel stuff, I'm saying trust the guys who package/build the distros they are big group10:16
ikoniaCosmiChaos: why don't you like backports ?10:16
ikoniaCosmiChaos: RHEL the most sucessful enterprise distro has been doing it for years with massive massive sucess10:17
CosmiChaosbecause there is no reference whcih features are in and out, the version numbers by lklm are clearly featured releases10:17
ikoniaCosmiChaos: there is if you read the change logs - which you should do before upgrading any kernel10:18
ikonia(in a production or production class environment)10:18
CosmiChaosmassive success? i hated suse i hated redhat and i hated mandriva, would there not been ubuntu i would stuck on win :D10:18
ikoniaCosmiChaos: you hating them does not make them any less of a massive sucess10:18
CosmiChaosoh know but when our teacher gave us suse i saw the massive success ;)10:19
ikoniawhat ?10:19
CosmiChaosand when i tried to deal with redhat i feel the success10:19
CosmiChaos;)10:19
DanaGhttp://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0901.2/00164.html10:19
DanaGOoh!10:19
ikoniaCosmiChaos: if you can't discuss things in a sensible way, please don't bother10:19
CosmiChaostell me what dimension i massive success for you? some enterprises see it as a cost efficient tool?10:20
ikoniaCosmiChaos: your talking nonsense now and starting10:20
ikoniaCosmiChaos: this is nothing to do with ubuntu any more - we are going way off topic10:20
ikoniaas I requested early - lets drop this now10:20
CosmiChaosi just stated that users are forced to review chagelogs of internal version releases if the want to know wich distro to choose for their newest notebook10:20
CosmiChaosthat is a point10:21
ikoniajust read the hardwae compatability lists10:21
ikoniayou don't have to review kernel change logs for that10:21
CosmiChaosit doesnt refer non hardware supported features either10:21
crdlbalso, live cds ...10:21
ikoniaCosmiChaos: to get that info users would have to read lkml change log features10:21
ikoniaCosmiChaos: so they either read the distro - or they read lkml - your argument is void10:22
CosmiChaosno their are massive reviews of what is new in the kernel versions10:22
CosmiChaosby ct, heise and many many others10:22
ikoniact ?10:22
ikoniaheise ?10:22
CosmiChaosits a german it-news prtal10:22
ikoniaCosmiChaos: oh - so they have to subscribe to that then10:23
ikoniaCosmiChaos: the point is they have to read somewhere for the features, it doesn't matter where10:23
CosmiChaoswhatsoever there are thousands of information out there whats new in the kernels10:23
ikoniaCosmiChaos: drop this now - it's getting silly10:23
DanaGGrr, I wish ATI would, at the very least, put some damned power management in the radeon driver.10:24
CosmiChaoswhen a user wants wimax, ie on a new netbook, ubuntu lost them until the integrate it10:24
ikoniaCosmiChaos: drop it10:24
DanaGDynamicClocks doesn't cut it.10:24
DanaG30 watts on battery... my battery has already lost about 10 minutes worth of max capacity, out of 4:10 or so,10:25
DanaG.10:25
DanaGOr perhaps even 15 minutes lost.10:25
ikoniaDanaG: is that all drained from the video card ?10:25
syockit30 watts too much!!10:25
DanaGYeah.  Idle on radeon is 30 watts total, idle on fglrx is 19 watts.10:25
DanaGAll else the same.10:25
ikoniaI had no idea it was that high10:25
DanaGI don't mind so much the not having 3D... but having it wear out my battery... royally sucks.10:26
DanaGNormal max battery life: about 4 hours.  On radeon on battery: 1.5 to 2.10:26

ikoniaEl_Presidente: no, user error16:16
El_Presidentewell what did i do wrong?16:16
ikoniaEl_Presidente: your uid is not 501, and the group dialout (don't know if your in that group) does not have read access16:17
ikoniaEl_Presidente: so you correctly don't have any access to those files16:17
El_Presidentebut why is it 501 and dialout ?16:17

humboltI know nobody loves this kind of questions, but as many distros feel significantly different in speed, I have to ask.17:10
ikoniaplease do'nt ask which is best17:10
humboltikonia: no, I am not asking at that level17:10
ikoniakeep in mind /topic please17:10
humboltWhich compile time differences do you know of17:11
ikoniaare you serious ?17:11
ikoniahumbolt: thats nothing to do with ubuntu / jaunty17:11
ikoniathe differences between distros can be none or huge17:11
humboltikonia: Which ones do you know of. Like Fedora generally compiles with no optimizations at all except for glibc, we do compile all our packages optimized for i686. Therefore the system will be slower on a i586 but feelable faster on i68617:13
humboltFedora and Ubuntu is enough of a comparison for me17:13
ikoniahumbolt: this is nothing to do with jaunty so not really for this channel17:14
humboltAnd compilation strategies probably don't change between releases, so this does concern jaunty as much as it does concern ibex17:14
ikoniai3ooi3oo: are the files executable ?17:14
ikoniaoops17:14
ikoniasorry17:14
ikoniahumbolt: no it doesn't what fedora/cetos/anyeone else does is nothing to do with jaunty17:14
humboltikonia: there is no place to discuss that stuff, really.17:16
ikonia##linux17:16
ikoniabe warned though, the options/patches vary from package to package so you'll need to be very specific17:16
humboltikonia: it does. It should. Watch your competitor.17:16
ikoniaI do watch what others do17:16
ikoniaI'm active in a few distributions, so I'm reasonably aware17:17
humboltikonia: Right, great, to learn from them as well as to not fall for the same traps as them.17:17
ikoniawho said they are not learning from them17:17
humboltikonia: So why would you not share this knowledge.17:17
ikoniaI just said this is not a place to discuss it17:17
ikoniaI'm not - not sharing it17:17
humboltikonia: there is no. #ubuntu will tell me, fedora does not concern us. ##linux will tell me, this is about the kernel not about distros, ...17:18
ikoniayou didn't ask about the kernel, you asked about the distro17:19
ikoniathe distro is not the kernel17:19
ikoniaand other distros kernel compile options do not effect jaunty17:19
humboltikonia: yes, I am aware of that.17:19
ikoniaso please stop asking17:19
Ienorandhumbolt: The guys over at phoronix.com (forum) should probably bee the ones to ask...17:20
humboltforums suck17:20
humboltas nothing seems to be happening in this channel currently, I am asking myself, why it would be so inappropriate to discuss the topic that I posed here. Wouldn't appear to me like this would interrupt any other important conversations going on currently.17:39
l337ingDisorderI know this is more an ubu-dev oriented channel but I'm gonna ask this here because I figure there's probably someone in here who knows about modding LiveCDs17:42
humboltOr let me rephrase the question: What is the compile strategy for jaunty? Will all packages be optimized for i686?17:43
l337ingDisorderI'm trying to create a LiveCD that launches partimage on bootup instead of gnome. I've managed to create a LiveCD iso with partimage working on it, but there's no /home/ubuntu dir (and thus no .bashrc to modify). Can anyone explain how I can set an app to launch on startup of the LiveCD? (it doesn't HAVE to replace gnome, it could run on top in gnome-terminal)17:44
crdlbhumbolt: afaik, it's all i38617:56
crdlbubuntu might be using -mtune, but I don't think they are17:57
humboltcrdlb: But with optimizations, as I heard.17:57
humboltright17:58
crdlbreal optimisation comes from using SSE (or similar) with the few apps that implement it17:58
crdlbor by using amd6417:58
humboltI notized that older versions of ubuntu (dapper) where running significantly faster on my old laptop than newer ones (crusoe).17:58
macohumbolt: yeah we know. performance went to hell after feisty18:06
macoa lot's to do with "more easy = more features = more code" probably18:07
humboltmaco: really, you know? Do you know the reason also?18:09
humboltmaco: Kernel?18:10
macosoftware in general18:10
macothe easier they try to make any software, the more code is needed. the more code is needed, the bigger the software is and the slower it runs18:10
macothey could certainly try to optimize the code18:11
humboltmaco: Generally, I have to state, that I had a more responsive system back in the 300Mhz PC times with -ck realtime  kernels, than I have now with 2 GHz!18:11
macohumbolt: the kernels were smaller, the software was smaller...18:11
humboltmaco: but there is no one kernel or compilation decision that made things slower?18:11
macodifferent schedulers get different performance for different use-cases...maybe changing it would help...18:12
macobut that's on an individual basis18:12
macoi know someone went through gnome-panel and found where things were happening in tight-loops that only needed to happen once or maybe only in the outer-loop, and they fixed those18:13
macoand im *sure* that exists in a lot of places18:13
macothere's got to be a lot of code that could be optimized for fewer cycles by fixing those sorts of things or realizing that something's happening O(n^3) and restructuring the algorithm to fix it18:14
macoand people who are very good at algorithms could go through and find those things and improve them18:14
humboltGnome is an nightmare anyways! Hope gtk will be buried soon, now that QT is LGPL.18:15
joaopintohumbolt, keep dreaming18:28
humboltjoaopinto: Wet dream, I know. Pride. Pride is just so damn stupid some times.18:29
crdlbis it conceivable that gtk might actually have some merit other than its license?18:32
humboltcrdlb: none that would actually hold up in an objective reasoning.18:36
humboltcrdlb: The performance is just soooo incredibly bad!18:36
crdlbresizing sucks, yes, but gtk will soon stop using subwindows, which will help there18:37
humboltcrdlb: That it might me nicer to code with or the such, can hardly compensate that.18:37
humboltTo many or those shortcomings in there18:37
humboltjust compare simple things, like the gnome to the kde file manager18:38
ali1234the gnome one is much better, so what?18:38
crdlbsubjectively, I find gtk+ looks much better than qt18:38
ali1234just look at the kde start menu - a complete mess18:38
crdlbI'm sure you disagree, but that's the point; it's an opinion18:38
humboltIt takes ages to display a directory structure in nautilus compared to konqueror.18:39
ali1234qt font rendering is a joke18:39
humbolteven freaking windows in a VMware VM does a better job18:39
ali1234i could go on about this for several hours18:39
ali1234qt and gtk both have their problems18:39
humboltsure18:39
macocrdlb: um, resizing on kde currently sucks too, doesn't it? the whole "omg the screen artifacts are eating me" thing jaunty kubuntu users keep complaining about?18:40
humboltit is just, if you take all them together it always turns out that kde is both faster and more memory efficient18:40
humboltmaco: right, that sucks!18:40
macocrdlb: qt3 or 4?18:40
ali1234but kde has a worse users experience18:40
macoi agree, qt3 is UGLY18:40
macoi refused to use KDE because of that for years18:41
macokde 4.2 is pretty though18:41
crdlbboth, although qt3 is definitely worse18:41
humboltali1234: true, but this has nothing to do with frameworks again18:41
ali1234who cares if your desktop uses 1mb less ram and loads 2 seconds faster, if it doesn't actually do the things you want?18:41
macoali1234: but yes, kde4 is currently only half-there18:41
macognome has *much* better integration18:41
humboltali1234: no no no, it is not about that. in use gnome is slower!18:41
crdlbmaco: is that resizing issuse caused by Qt or by compositing?18:41
humboltjust compare nautilus and dolphin or what it is called in kde18:42
macocrdlb: not sure. i have a ton of artifacts, but i dont resize windows...just maximize them all. and im not using compositing18:42
macohumbolt: er...nautilus is faster than dolphin18:42
macodolphin has a freaking loading bar18:42
humboltcrdlb: see that without compositing enabled also18:42
humboltmaco: then something is wrong with my system. which can't really be the case on a vanilla install.18:43
ali1234well how about the fact that in general gnome apps make better use of screen space than kde ones?18:43
humboltmaco: On my older ubuntu install it is even worth - horrible to be exact18:44
humboltali1234: again, you are talking about frontends not frameworks18:44
ali1234well yeah, because i am a pragmatist18:45
macoive got gnome and kde on the same system, and dolphin makes me wait around18:45
humboltI say, gnome UI is mostly better because simpler. But they might consider using qt instead of gtk.18:45
ali1234to me there is nothing to chose between qt and gtk, i can only tell the difference because of the way gnome and kde apps are designed18:45
humboltmaco: really, hmm18:45
macoat least it feels like it does18:46
humboltali1234: In my opinion KDE should have spent those two years to optimize their usability not add yet more bling18:46
ali1234what is the killer app for qt?18:46
macocould partially be because i always feel like im waiting for it to load the image thumbnails...because the stupid thing doesnt do thumbnails18:46
ali1234gtk has gimp and inkscape18:46
macohumbolt: um, they were optimizing usability18:46
macohumbolt: kde4 started with a TON of usability testing18:46
humboltI don't need all the compositing bullshit. But I would like KDE to have a useful file association interface.18:46
macomost of the apps were rewritten to new usability standards18:47
humboltmaco: Then they are plain stupid18:47
macoali1234: skype is Qt318:47
humboltmaco: The start menu, horrible (except for the search input field). The back button thing is simply to small and is overlooked also.18:48
humboltand the rest is, lets be Vista and MacOSX bullshit18:48
humboltIf I could, I'd stick with KDE318:49
macohumbolt: what?>!18:49
macothe kmenu is WONDERFUL in kde318:49
maco*kde418:49
macothe old one sucked18:49
macoit was like the old gnome menu where there's not enough division and all the targets are too small18:49
macoand it wont go off the screen like gnome's preferences menu does ><18:49
humboltmaco: not responsive, there is some delay built in, when switching the menu context, ...18:49
Alexia_Deaththere seems to be an animation, yes18:51
Alexia_Deathbut If you bitch about it enough, perhaps devs add an option to turn it off.18:51
Alexia_DeathWhat I like is the search. The heck I need to surf the menu, if I want something specific.18:51
humboltAlexia_Death: I'll do that18:51
macoAlexia_Death: theres no animation if you turn off compositing18:52
ali1234it's so over-complicated that pretty soon they'll need to put a start menu on the start menu (so you can start while you start)18:52
macoits not a start menu. what is this? windows. ><18:52
Alexia_Deathmaco: My compositing is off now. the animation is still there.18:52
macoi dont see any animation18:52
humboltThe whole, let's get rid of the icons on a desktop idea, I am not very comfortable with that either18:52
macosure it's not just an eye-trick?18:52
macoi always try to keep my desktop empty18:53
ali1234putting the desktop icons in a little windows... reminds me of windows 3.118:53
Alexia_Deathhumbolt: I like it. Never like the stuff piled on my desktop.18:54
* Alexia_Death uses her desktop as a custom button area instead on the panel.18:54
humboltall I am complaining about in the kde menu is this back arrow18:54
humboltthe sensitive area is just to narrow18:54
Alexia_Deathhumbolt: besides, you can set it upp as it used to be, with icons now18:55
Alexia_DeathIs sthe compostiting bug fixed in Xorgs now?18:55
Alexia_DeathCan I upgrade?18:55
humboltjust want the arrow to be wider18:55
humboltand the animation to be instantanously18:55
Alexia_DeathComplain18:55
Alexia_Deathwhat I don like about kde is is that kwin STILL does not handle gimps utility windows right.18:56
macoAlexia_Death: what is "right"?18:59
macoim not sure how these are supposed to work18:59
Alexia_Deathmaco: like they dp in gnome18:59
Alexia_Deathnot registering in the taskbar and always above the active window19:00
oCean_My Fn key combination for 'sunup/sundown' (backlight control) does not work. Or, it does, but it's only darkest or brightest, nothing in between. The slider from the brightness applet works..19:00
Alexia_Deathminimizing with the last window19:00
macoAlexia_Death: er you mean "like they do with metacity" then, right?19:01
macobecause i dont think compiz does that19:01
Alexia_Deathcompiz is supposed to do that do now.19:02
Alexia_DeathI hear19:02
Alexia_DeathBut yes, as metacity is more correct.19:02
macoi dont use a window list in my panel, so i never noticed that19:02
macothe staying-on-top part was all that i had trouble with19:03
macoi also dont minimize things19:03
maconow, if the utility windows and gimp stayed together for alt+tab, thatd be nice19:03
macoi *think* they show as separate windows in alt+tab19:04
macoits been a while though19:04
Alexia_Deathmaco: how do you do it without window list?19:07
Alexia_DeathI always have one, At least 3 rows:D19:07
Alexia_Deathwhen kde 4.1 didnt let me have multiline I was REALLY annoyed:P19:08
custombrushi use the avant window navigator19:08
macoalt+tab19:08
Alexia_DeathThat list is such a bother to navigate.19:10
Alexia_Deathwhen all thats needed is one click19:10
Alexia_DeathThat list is usually more than 10 entries for me.19:11
macoi only have it list what's on the current desktop19:12
maco3 of my desktops usually have 1 window each19:12
macoit's only the one that holds pidgin that has multiple windows. and i try not to let them overlap19:13
macoi *really* wish a window manager existed that had the scale/exposé feature AND did tiling19:13
crdlbwhat's the point of scale if your windows are already tiled? :)19:30
macocrdlb: multiple workspaces19:34
crdlbso you really just need expo :)19:35
macocrdlb: compiz calls exposé "scale"19:35
macoi put a few windows on each desktop so they're still big enough to use. i might want to view all windows on all workspaces though19:35
crdlbexpo, not exposé19:35
crdlb(I'd love to know who chose that name ...)19:35

hggdhLOL22:33
cwillutux_, jaunty isn't production ready.  Even if everything works today, stuff may break tomorrow, badly.  If you have to ask whether a particular piece of hardware works (rather than just trying it, posting bugs/patches for the things that don't work, etc), then jaunty may not be the best choice for now22:34
mneptokmaco: separate my wheat from chaff, BABY!22:34
mneptok*sigh*22:35
cwillutux_, feel free to try it and post bugs for anything that doesn't work, but I don't think you're going to find any guarantees :p22:35
hggdhon the other hand, if you tried a MSI wind ot medion akoya (and I have no idea of what they are) and its not working, a bug would be warranted22:35

ali1234import accounts from my old ubuntu install? i'm gonna format it and i have 12gb of files in the old partition, so how is that gonna work?22:36
maxbali1234: I think the short answer is "It's not". You can't import data from an installation you're overwriting with the new installation you're doing.22:47
ali1234i figured, so i didn't select it. already backed it all up anyway22:48
maxbThis is an excellent reason to have /home on a different partition :-)22:49
maxb(If you're the kind of person who likes to play with fresh installs often)22:49
ali1234i dont really like to do fresh installs, i just wanted to try ext422:50
ali1234and whenever i do multiple partitions, i always run out of space on one or the other22:50
cwillumaxb, jaunty is supposed to detect old installs properly now22:51
cwilluhaven't tried it myself yet though22:51
maxbI mean, it's physically impossible to import data from one install to another if the new one is overwriting the old partition22:52
ali1234cwillu: it detected an install on the partition that was about to getformatted, and where /home contained more files than could possibly fit in ram22:52
