Shiiis PulseAudio support significantly improved in jaunty?00:01
Ienorandswegner: there's supposed to be a dedicated #liveusb tried?00:03
swegneroh, I wasn't aware-- I'll check there, thanks00:03
Ienorandswegner: oh, that one seems to be empty00:03
swegnerdo you think this is a jaunty-specific change, or not?00:04
swegnerI can't remember what the intrepid live USB was like00:04
Ienorandswegner: I have no idea, never tried it, sorry00:05
swegnerhmm.. ok.  I'll check in #ubuntu and see if somebody might have an answer00:05

zeldarocksshould I update to 9.04?00:36
jwulf|eeeanyone have the lowdown on compiz at the moment?00:43
jwulf|eeei updated jaunty with the latest updates and it seems to be broken00:43
jwulf|eeeit looks like the compiz packages are being reorganized?00:44
crdlbjwulf|eee: looks like libcompizconfig is missing01:07
crdlbjwulf|eee: because it's in dependency wait01:09
crdlbI'm guessing the problem is that protobuf (which is a new library used by libcompizconfig to cache metadata parsing) is in universe01:10
Hobbseehrm, that can't be good01:12
crdlbapparently it's been approved01:12
crdlband will move once something depends on it in main (ie libcompizconfig :>)01:13
Hobbseecrdlb: looks like that was fixed.  the next fix should hit the main mirror soon01:21
Loungehey guys i have got some major problems going on with module-init-tools in jaunty01:28
crdlbHobbsee: is there a delay before that shows up on launchpad?01:29
kazagistarsome weird dependency stuff just came through... apparently, compiz is to be removed, which seems wrong01:29
Hobbseecrdlb: the binaries will be on LP01:29

ZeZubefore windows did not appear in toolbar at the bottom,  and no title bar on them  now they appear but still no title bar02:16

Slartibartfasthmmm ... here i see noshuttiong down the desktop ... and when trying to shutdown again the whole desktop freezes :-(02:44
hggdheternal_p, you need to set the keyring passphrase to nulls (since you auto-login)02:44
eternal_phggdh: how? :)02:44
|ns|nR8Slartibartfast, the alpha is buggy crap...if you want stability use a stable version02:45
Slartibartfast|ns|nR8: yes yes ... i know02:45
hggdheternal_p, Applications/Accessories/Passwords and Encryption keys; your keyring passphrase is your original login passphrase02:45
Slartibartfastjust wanted to know if there are more people with the same problem02:45

zeldarocksguys, I tried to install jaunty, but the install failed02:52
thiebaudezeldarocks: how did it fail?02:53
zaccourthiebaude, flash plugin non free is installed in synaptic02:53
zaccourmaybe its just an alpha thing i have to wait out02:53
zeldarocksit asked me to select y or n near the end and it apparently froze right there\02:53
thiebaudezaccour: uninstall and re-install02:53
thiebaudezeldarocks: you have an intel card02:53
zaccouri tried that already, not in synaptic though02:53
zeldarocksno, nvidia02:53
thiebaudezeldarocks: ok02:54
zeldarocksI had like 14 minutes left of the install and then it asked me something (can't remember what though) and when I tried to press y and enter, it wouldn't respond02:55
thiebaudezeldarocks: did you burn your cd?02:55
zeldarocksno doing it through my ubuntu install02:56
zeldarocksthropugh internet02:56
zeldarocksapparently my internet connection stopped working or something during install, and then as soon as the install exited, not having been completed BTW, the IRC client connected again02:58
zeldarocksthen I try to restart, and I get a message about my grapgics configuration and 'ubuntu running in low graphics mode'02:59

DanaGhandy thing to replace ctrl-alt-backspace until you re-enable it: alt-sysrq-k.  Super-kills everything on current TTY, which in this case, would be Xorg.03:05
zaccourthiebaude, i did the command in the terminal and it said could not find it03:05
* zeldarocks gets ready to leave03:05
* zeldarocks begs03:06
DanaGzeldarocks: you never explicitly asked an answerable question.03:06
DanaGConsider rephrasing it.03:06
zeldarocksmy install apparently crashed, I was asked to press Y or N with about 15 minutes left in the install process, I'm attempting the install again, what do I press?03:07
DanaGIt'd help to know what the question it was asking you was.03:08
zeldarocksI don't remember, it was something about a default, or somnething. if it helps, the options it gava me were: 'y/I' for yes, I think "D/N" for no03:10
DanaGHmm, was it an upgrade, or a fresh install?03:10
zeldarocksupgrade03:10
DanaGAh, probably about replacing a config file.03:11
DanaGThe thing to do there is to hit 'd' to see the differences, and if you've never customized it yourself, then hit 'y' to replace.03:11
zeldarocksok03:11
zeldarocksthat was it03:11
DanaGThe times you'd want to keep the local version are only when you'd manually chaanged something.03:11
zeldarocksalso, what if it doesn't respond?03:12
DanaGSamba config file is one exception: defined shares get trampled on when replacing the file -- you'd either have to keep local version, or re-set the shares.03:12
DanaGThat's only for system shares, not per-user shares.03:13
dtchenzaccour: what's the issue that you experienced with Flash?03:13
zaccourcan anyone recommend a different distro?03:13
DanaGoh yeah, I want to reboot for a minute... will be back.03:13
zaccourdtchen, all i see is black boxes where flash stuff should be03:14
dtchenzaccour: (WRT different distro - depends on your usage patterns and operating environment requirements)03:14
dtchenzaccour: ia32 or amd64?03:14
thiebaudezaccour: an ubuntu LTS03:14
zaccour3203:15
zaccourdell mini 903:15
zaccourwhoa youtube videos work though03:15
dtchenzaccour: are you using flashplugin-nonfree or adobe-flashplugin?03:15
zaccournonfree03:15
zaccourboth actually03:16
dtchenuhh03:16
dtchenyou should deinstall one of them03:16
thiebaudezaccour: delete the adobe one03:16
zaccoursearch adobe in synaptic?03:16
thiebaudeyes03:17
dtchenor `sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin'03:17
dtchenalthough i don't necessarily recommend removing that in favour of flashplugin-nonfree for other reasons03:17
zaccouri only see flash nonfree in synaptic03:17
thiebaudezaccour: there isn't an adobe flash option on the adobe web site03:18
zaccouryes03:18
zaccourthere is03:18
dtchenno, use the one in the Canonical partner repository03:18
zaccouri have flash nonfree03:19
dtchenwhat's the output from `dpkg -l flashplugin-nonfree adobe-flashplugin|grep ^ii' ?03:19
crdlbwhat's the difference between the two?03:20
zaccouri think i might just use another distro until the final release comes out03:20
zaccourwhat distros are best suited for dell mini?03:20
crdlbthere's always intrepid?03:21
thiebaudezaccour: did you try 8.10?03:21
dtchenor hardy, gutsy, or dapper03:21
thiebaudelol03:21
zaccouryes, but when i installed the first set of updates my wired internet stopped working03:21
Cycom_zaccour: I'd go with 8.04 personally.  most stuff works out of the box03:21
=== Cycom_ is now known as Cycom
thiebaudeCycom_: i agree, the LTS should be more stable03:21
dtchencrdlb: adobe-flashplugin is the official Adobe Flash plugin for ia32 distributed by Canonical in its partner repository03:22
Cycomzaccour: you will have to run one set of updates, but your wired ethernet will continue to work, and your wireless will start working.03:22
Cycomzaccour: you have to do some tweaks for the audio, but they are well documented.03:22
crdlbdtchen: but the binary is the same, isn't it?03:22
zaccourmy wired internet stopped working after the first set of updates03:22
* crdlb is currently using swfdec anyway03:22
dtchencrdlb: flashplugin-nonfree is a community-maintained download wrapper & installer for the official Adobe Flash plugin. It only downloads and installs the 32-bit version regardless whether you're using ia32 or amd64, since nspluginwrapper is used for both.03:22
zaccouris gOS good? i cant find a download iso on their site03:23
Cycomspeaking of audio, my adventure into +1 land is due to an audio problem on 9.04. I have an hp mini 1030nr, and it has no audio output.  It's a STAC 92xx.  Worked in 8.04 and 8.10 with snd-hda-intel model=ref, but now? zilch.03:23
crdlbI see, thanks :)03:23
dtchenCycom: run the alsa-info.sh script and tell me the url it generates03:24
crdlbno more checksum errors when adobe updates the unversioned that way, too, I guess03:24
thiebaude9.04 has alot of problems with intel products03:24

Cycomdtchen: where is the script located?03:24
dtchenhttp://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh03:25

Cycomdtchen: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=28a999536fb912ab60acecdb42efd0ef33823cd603:26
Cycomthe interesting part is that audio INPUT works.03:26
zaccouri think im just gonna try gOS and try jaunty beta when it comes out03:26
Cycommy mic is picked up, I just don't get sound output.03:26
dtchensec, need to `git pull'03:27
dtcheninteresting, a Mini 1000?03:28
dtchenfirst, you need to remove the model=auto quirk03:29
dtcheni'll see if our kernel source supports that particular model03:29
Cycomdtchen: yeah, a 1030nr03:30
Cycomdtchen: bear in mind that before I needed model=ref to get working mic input, but otherwise sound worked ootb.  However, it WAS supported in 8.04 and 8.10.03:30
dtchenCycom: no, it only happened to be "supported" because the quirk used happened to twiddle the correct init verbs03:31
Cycomahh...03:32
dtchenCycom: the correct quirk in jaunty's kernel is actually "hp-m4"03:32
dtcheni recommend you remove the model=auto quirk you've added03:32
dtchenthen reboot and see if the bios correctly initialises the codec03:32
dtchenif it doesn't, try using model=hp-m403:32
Cycomok. give me about 2 minutes.03:33
DanaGodd... PA 0.9.15 refuses to do zeroconf discovery.03:36

I need to test Jaunty for some bug reports but I last time it tried it was X (even without compiz/composite) was just too slow to allow me to spend much time testing it.03:42
DanaGoh yeah, why does vbox setup do a find | grep at every boot?03:42
DanaGit takes 1.5 seconds out of a now 28-second boot.03:43
dtchenCycom: right, you need to check that your user is in the audio group if you use ALSA directly instead of PulseAudio03:43
DanaGwww.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/bootchart/03:43

DanaGAnd they make it so you have to list all modules you want loaded, manually, instead of using modprobe aliases.  That's how they boot so fast.04:09
Cycomdtchen: I'd be interested to see if this works on my mini 9.04:09
DanaGI installed a netbook-remix in a vm, then added their repos.  They also disable the themes and wallpapers tabs.04:09
DanaGIf you add just the source repos, you can build the packages for other architectures.04:09
Zeldarockwhere can I get that theme?04:09
Cycomdtchen: I'm not sure if you're actually going to buy a mini 1030nr, but if you do, don't forget to look under all the packaging for the USB flash drive they include.  It's one of those tiny flat ones.  They put it in a special caddy so that it fits into a hole on the right side.04:10
Cycomit's in a small zip-lock bag.04:10
Cycomthank goodness I saved the box for a week04:11
dtchenCycom: nah, i just go in and boot off a daily-live04:11
Cycomdtchen: make sure you put it on a flash drive, not a CD :)04:11
DanaGoh yeah, they have posted their recovery image now.04:11
dtchenyeah, i have one04:11
dtcheni've been doing this for years04:11
DanaGIt will only deploy to a USB drive, though -- can't do it from CD.04:11
DanaGWhat's the battery life like under Ubuntu on those?04:12
Cycomdtchen: I figured, but I've learned that sometimes it helps to state something, even if you think it's obvious.04:12
CycomDanaG: three-ish hours.04:12
CycomDanaG: not spectacular, but still more than enough for my needs.04:12
DanaGcool.04:13
Cycomthe one odd thing about them is the webcam.  for some reason they designed it for "outdoor use", which means that they put a filter darker than my sunglasses over the camera.04:13
DanaGI already have my EliteBook, though.  The next thing I'd get wouldn't be a netbook... it'd be an Intel SSD.04:13
Cycoma little work with a swiss army knife toothpick got the screen bezel off, and a bit more with some tweezers and a knife got that peeled off.04:13
DanaGAnd honestly, other brand netbooks may be better values than the HP one, afer all.04:13
Cycomdtchen: updates finished. rebooting again. back in a flash.04:13

CycomI was really hoping there... :)04:16
DanaGHere's my laptop: http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=463104:17
DanaGThough I actually specifically opted for ATI, because I know I like to use development versions, and I'd rather have good open-source than sucky open-source drivers.04:18
CycomDanaG: I have a Dell E1505, and I have an ATI X1400 and an NVidia GeForce Go 7300 for it. I have the nvidia in it because the nvidia driver works the best out of all.04:19
Cycomdtchen: what next? should I try model=hp-m4?04:19
DanaGAh, you bought both cards?  Interesting.04:20
dtchenCycom: ok, thanks. have you tried isolating the jack changes? i.e., cold boot with headphones inserted04:20
DanaGI could also buy the Quadro alongside mine, but I'm just dealing with the ATI.04:20
Cycomdtchen: not yet. want me to do that first?04:20
dtchenCycom: there should be no need to add the quirk manually; it's already in patch_sigmatel.c for your SSID04:20
dtchenCycom: yes, please04:21
Cycomok. will reboot with headphones in.04:21
Cycomdtchen: heaphones in, I HAVE SOUND!04:23
Cycomhowever, the speakers do not work with them out.04:23
ZeldarockDanaG, I'm almost to the Y/N section, what do I look for when pressing D?04:24
DanaGOne thing to check: which config file is it asking about?04:24
dtchenCycom: excellent, so it was as i suspected, a jack regression04:24
DanaGAnd then check for any specific options you might have set.04:24
dtchenCycom: after i fix the bluetooth pairing issues for PA, i'll be looking at the jack regressions from 8.1004:24
ZeldarockI just had something fail: VirtaulBox kernel module" Fail...04:24
dtchenso - it's in my TODO04:25
* DanaG wonders why virtualbox does a find | grep in the boot cycle.04:25
DanaGAdds 1.5 seconds to boot.04:25
Cycomdtchen: is there any workaround in the mean time, or do I just wait?04:25
DanaGhttp://www.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/bootchart/04:25
dtchenCycom: you could continue to use 8.10 ;-)04:25
Zeldarockwha to do about the kernel?04:25
Cycomdtchen: not really. it was not running well on this little guy.04:26
Cycomdtchen: I'd rather have no sound and less crashing.04:26
Zeldarockthe differencesa thing showed up, what exactly do I look for?04:26
DanaGoh yeah, bluetooth audio in linux has never ever worked for me.04:26
dtchenCycom: the new jack API is wonky; you may need to plug and unplug headphones to register one actual jack event04:27
ZeldarockDana?04:27
DanaGoh, what file is it, for one?04:27
ZeldarockI can't make out the stuff04:27
Zeldarockreplace or not?04:28
DanaGhmm, what package is it in?04:28
Zeldarockmeaning?04:28
DanaGWhat package is it processing right now, and asking about?04:28
Cycomdtchen: what package is the problem with, do you think?04:28
Zeldarockreplace customized configuration file04:29
Zeldarockwhat do I do?04:29
DanaG.... it should tell you WHICH config file it's asking about.04:29
DanaGThat's what I'm asking.04:29
Zeldarocketc/default/apport04:29
DanaGah, should be safe to say yes, then.04:29
Zeldarockrepalce?04:30
DanaGProbably it's enabling apport by default now.  Or disabling it by default now.04:30
DanaGYeah, should be safe to replace.04:30
dtchenCycom: without a doubt, `linux'04:31
Zeldarockam I going to have to answer to anything else? probably not huh...04:31
Cycomdtchen: you mean the kernel module?04:31
dtchenCycom: it's a jack regression; between 1.0.17 and 1.0.18, there was a huge jack event-reporting overhaul, and it broke quite a few things like internal {d,}mic jack enablement and line-out/hp jack event reporting04:32
dtchenCycom: `linux' is the name of the source package containing the ALSA drivers04:32
dtchen(not to be confused with `alsa-driver', which we only use to ship `linux-sound-base' and `alsa-base' normally)04:33
dtchenanyhoo, time for Z then work.04:34
Cycomk! thanks again dtchen. later :)04:34

Zeldarockcan I save the install?04:50
Zeldarockor am I going to start from scratch?04:50
cotyI'm guessing no one knows how to fix the windows border problem Im experiencing04:50
DanaGI think you just have to re-do whatever you did to install the guest additions.04:50
ZeldarockI can't04:50
ZeldarockI can't even get inot ubuntu04:50
DanaGYou should be able to log into safe graphics mode.04:51

SlartibartfastSO i installed this webkitkde package to let Konqueror use the webkit render engine ... followed the README to make webkit the default .. but this seems not working08:03
Slartibartfaston localhost it still shows "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.2; Linux) KHTML/4.2.1 (like Gecko)"08:04
SlartibartfastBut in View Mode webkit is selected08:05
Slartibartfastanybody who can confirm this?08:05
lucentyou could try the acid3 test08:06
lucentheh08:06
Slartibartfastmmmm ... indeed it gives the 100/100 ...08:07
Slartibartfastso konqueror lies about what it uses :-P08:07
SlartibartfastBut when KHTML was the default and i used View Mode to view it with webkit i got a different browser identification ...08:10
Slartibartfast"Mozilla/5.0 (Konqueror/4.2; Linux) AppleWebKit/527+ (KHTML, like Gecko, Safari/419.3)"08:10

Slartibartfastas expected hotmail through in some javascript error popups .... but also gmail's ajax page won't load :-(08:17
crdlbunfortuanately, my webkit is webkit-gtk, which is even less mature than webkit-qt :)08:19
Slartibartfaston acid3 i get the 100/100 score, but it still has the ugly big red warning square over it08:20
crdlbwarning square?08:20
Slartibartfastyes ... red image ... square ... maybe it's an svg08:21
crdlbheh, there's about 1 pixel more spacing between 'acid3' and the boxes than in the reference rendering08:23
crdlbI guess it fails :P08:23
Slartibartfast:-) ... but the "default" browser identification is hard coded in konqueror? ...08:24
Slartibartfasti mean alternative it can show webkit, but when as default it falls back to it's "dafault identification"08:25

Exilantbut a lot better than ibex final (kubuntu) worked for me09:38
lucentsound is b0rk09:38
GooD2KnoWthat would be ok :)09:38
lucentext4 is b0rk, under heavy usage it results in data loss09:38
GooD2KnoWwhat about the speed? is it really faster than ibex?09:38
lucentmodules are compiled in now that cause b0rk, notably ipv609:38
Exilantdon't have ibex, but it's not really slow09:39
lucentit's noticably slower at web browsing and dns lookups in some setups09:39
lucentthe ecryptfs beginnings do not gracefully handle out-of-diskspace conditions, leading to dataloss09:40
lucentI cannot think of a decent reason to suggest that you upgrade to jaunty alpha 5, and certainly not on a production machine if that's what you intend09:41
GooD2KnoWhm yeah .. i want to upgrade my workstation to alpha 5  :)09:41

Eruaranthanks hggdh14:59
picklesworthIndeed :) I've noticed that its recent version is a complete UI disaster, creating at least two (and on some occasions three) panel applets / windows at once for no good reason, where closing any quits the entire app. It wasn't like that before, and nobody else seems to have noticed, so I'm wondering if it's a compatibility issue15:01

ArcSighterhello, I'm experience with jaunty A5 the same issue I've experienced with intrepid, it's incredibily slow and I'm getting load averages of 2 .3 standard, with huge ups up to 15, do you guys know how I( can determine the source of the problem? Maybe hardware based, maybe a software, I don't know...15:24
PiciArcSighter: Check what top says when you're seeing these load issues.15:25
ArcSighterok, wait15:25
ArcSighterI normally get firefox consuming a lot, but equally to hardy, and the machine wasn't freezing15:25

ali1234yeah same here... i just figured it was time to buy a new computer :)15:30
ali1234it seems to me that the main culprit is firefox, especially if you leave open pages with many flash adverts and stuff like that15:31

You can uncheck auto_launch in gconf: /apps/update-notifier... or change the number of days between it opening automatically15:44

DPicI've been trying to install jaunty on an iMac. I've tried booting from a separate partition, a usb stick, and both 32-bit and 64-bit install CD's17:46
DPicthe 64-bit cd doesn't seem to detect the keyboard, but both of them load enough for me to get a mouse cursor which turns into the spinning thing, but it freezes there17:47
DPici was looking through the jaunty 5 caveats but none of them looked like they would be causing this17:48
PiciAre iMacs PPC?17:49
DPicnot the new ones17:49
DPicthey ditched PPC a while ago (sorta)17:49
geniiAny intel based macs should just be able to use the i386 versions (although may need efi grub versions)17:50
DPicgenii: there is no special version for efi grub... that's a separate issue17:51
DPici've been using the right version17:51
DPici don't think i would've even gotten a mouse if i wasn't17:51
DPici had tried with alpha 4 but gave p figuring it would be fixed by alpha 5 but it still doesn't work17:52
gnomefreakit should be the same as running 386 on PC although not sure if they dropped yaboot or not17:52

gnomefreakDPic: your best to file a bug on that its kind of important although i barely use mouse17:54

DPicmind testing it out for me?20:13
DPicjust go to change desktop background and select any image on your computer20:14
DPicafter restarting, it's gone20:14
DrHalanso why isnt the speed of ati improving?20:14
mnemodpic: reboot or just re-login?20:14
AmaranthDrHalan: to get near fglrx speeds they'd have to do special tuning for each and every different model of ati card20:15
DrHalandon't they?20:15
AmaranthDrHalan: 50-70% is achievable with generic code20:15
Amaranththey don't, they write r300 code, r500 code, etc20:15
Amaranththey don't write X1400 code20:15
DrHalanwhy not?20:16
DPicmnemo, oh damn, never mind it's not a bug. i was adding backgrounds from a partition that wasn't permanently mounted20:16
mnemodpic: ok20:16
AmaranthDrHalan: because it would take ages and it a lot of very hard work20:16
crdlbbecause even if you had the resources to do it, you end up as buggy as fglrx :)20:16
Amaranthit is*20:16
DrHalanhm20:16
Amaranthright, and hand tuning for every card is more likely to create bugs20:16
Amaranthgallium3d might get it up to 70-80% for at least r500 cards20:17
AmaranthI think the older ones are still more special purpose than generic shader engines and gallium3d would essentially ignore the special purpose hardware and run pure shaders20:17
Amaranthalthough there was work to get support for cards that lack certain kinds of shaders so perhaps that is not true anymore20:18
DPicthis isn't jaunty specific, but how do i set a drive to mount automatically?20:26
mnemoDPic: during the stone age it was done in /etc/fstab I think but maybe there is a better way these days... google for it, sound very common20:27
DPici had the chance to do it during installation but i forgott20:27
DPicseems like i still have to edit fstab20:31
danbhfiveDPic: I think the installer just sets up fstab for you20:31
unixdawgso when they going to fix gstreamer for user side20:40
eidHi, I have problem with logging to ubuntu after installing today's updates. I got this error in xsessions-erros "/etc/X11/Xsession.d/60x11-localhost 4: Syntax error: bad fd number"20:41
mnemoeid: its fixed already and the bugfix has been submitted to archive20:41
mnemoeid: if you got "main server" configured you should be able to just run "apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade" to fix it20:42
mnemoeid: otherwise, as a temporary workaround, remove the ">&" token from the last line in the 60x11-localhost file20:42
eidmnemo: mnemo : how can I be sure that I am using the main server, I don't have GUI now I am using irssi20:43
euxneksmnemo, eid haha I was just trying to figure this out when I saw you two talking about it20:45
mnemoeid: if you're not getting a fixed x11-common package through apt-get upgrade you're probably on some mirror (thats the default)20:45
mnemoeid: if you're in CLI mode, just edit the file and drop the >& thing20:45
eidmnemo: I will delete >& only ?20:46
mnemoyeah or change it to &>20:46
crdlbjust delete the20:46
crdlberr just delete the &20:46
crdlbif that script is run by dash, &> won't work either20:47
mnemowhen the next update comes, you should select "choose package maintainers version" anyway20:47
mnemocrdlb: ah ok20:47
crdlbwell, it'll see it as 'command &', which might be bad20:47
theholyduckunixdawg, not to mention gstreamer is horrible anyway20:48
eidmnemo: crdlb Thanks it works :)20:48
theholyduckand any sane developer wouldnt be using it20:48
bruce89hmm20:48
crdlbtheholyduck: -_-20:49
unixdawgbut they need to fix what they break20:49
bruce89what's broken?20:50
mnemobruce89: xorg20:50
bruce89ah, I'll not upgrade that then20:50
eidI have problem with the usplash, I have wrong colors and resolution. I think I made a mistake when I was using 8.10. I want to remove any setting related to usplash and make fresh install, I tried apt-get purge usplash and it did not work !20:51
unixdawggstreamer in user mode20:52
unixdawgits playing back at double speed20:52
unixdawgonly works when you use apps in sudo mode20:52
theholyduckunixdawg, i dont really care because as i said. any sane person will just use libav* directly20:53
theholyduckless chance of stuff cocking up. the ability to include your own UP TO DATE decoder.20:53
theholyduckand just general betterness20:53
* bruce89 thought ffmpeg didn't bother with API stability20:54
bruce89not to mention ffmpeg reimplements everything20:55
eidany idea about usplash ?20:55
theholyduckbruce89, they dont :P20:55
theholyduckbut its easily fixed by making your app use a staticly linked ffmpeg20:55
theholyduckand then update it when you feel ready for it20:55
bruce89that's nice security-wise20:55
theholyduckbruce89, dynamic linking is hell anyway20:56
theholyduckthere is a REASON anyone even semi profesionall doing stuff for linux includes all the libs they use in the install20:56
Amaranththeholyduck: you _must_ be an ffmpeg or mplayer developer20:56
Amaranththeholyduck: everyone else likes releases and dynamic linking20:56
Amaranththeholyduck: vmware includes a copy of every library it uses but will use the system one if it is available20:57
Amaranthit's still dynamically linked, they just ship fallback copies of things they link to20:57
theholyduckAmaranth, am not but i share their views :P20:58
theholyduckbruce89, the only thing dynamic linking promotes is distros not upgrading their libraries because stuff would break20:58
theholyduckand you sit there with MORE security holes and less performance20:58
theholyduckthen you got developers using your libs in unintended ways. and abusing bugs in your software. and when you FIX those. they complain because they needed that buggy behavior.20:58
theholyduckAmaranth, well dynamic linking is GREAT if developers and users were people who didnt cock up20:58
theholyduckif mistakes never happened. and it was a perfect world20:59
Amaranththeholyduck: but we don't consider bugs part of the ABI so...strawman20:59
bruce89gstreamer uses a lot more than just ffmpeg20:59
theholyduckid be the biggest supporter of dynamic linking20:59
theholyduckbruce89, and all of it besides ffmpeg is shit20:59
theholyduckor useless20:59
theholyduckor both20:59
bruce89charming21:00
Amaranth!ohmy21:00
ubottuPlease remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others.21:00
bruce89however, I don't like Phono21:00
bruce89an abstraction over an abstraction is too far21:00
theholyduckAmaranth, but i agree with their releases are stupid policy aswell21:01
theholyduckthe only thing releases does is suck manpower and time that could better be spent doing improvements21:01
Amaranththeholyduck: we _never_ have two copies of something in the repos21:01
theholyduckAmaranth, i know. and i think its a retarded policy.21:02
Amaranthwell, except for 32-bit libraries for 64-bit systems21:02
AmaranthI think it's the only sane way to handle security21:02
theholyduckAmaranth, actually. your mplayer is built with static libs i think?21:02
theholyduckas in static libav* atleast21:02
theholyducksince its over 2 years old21:02
theholyduckand your ffmpeg libs probaly wouldnt work with it21:02
theholyduckim guessing you use its included libass and simlar aswell. while shipping a libass package21:03
Amaranthgah, they did make that change21:03
Amaranththey should have just dropped mplayer21:03
theholyduckAmaranth, built from svn. mplayer is easily the best video player on the unix platform21:03
theholyduckeven the 2 year old ubuntu build is a close call compared to the updated rest21:04
Amaranthha21:04
Amaranthmplayer is the most complicated and finicky player I've ever used21:04
crdlbexcept that it has no plugin support ...21:05
theholyduckAmaranth, meh. i got 8 lines of ~/.mplayer/config and i just have thunar run mplayer filename on any video file21:05
theholyduckand it just works21:05
theholyduckpicks the right audio track, subtitle track, and right vo, etc,etc21:05
bruce89hmm, #ubuntu-offtopic methinks21:05
theholyduckcrdlb, who really needs it?21:05
Amaranthyeah, although I doubt the conversation would last long there21:05
crdlbdistros21:05
theholyduckcrdlb, plugins for what anyway?21:05
Amaranththis is the kind of thing #ubuntu+1 used to be used for, actually21:06
bruce89incidentally, totem does DVDs now21:06
crdlbcodecs they can't legally include by default?21:06
Amaranthcrdlb: see: all of them21:07
theholyduckindeed. ubuntu is allready stretching it by packaging ffmpeg21:07
Amaranthcan mplayer play a movie backwards?21:07
Amaranthlike if you drag the slider backwards does it actually show it playing?21:07
Amaranthsame with forwards, really21:07
theholyduckAmaranth, it hasnt implemented reverse playback no. because thats a pain in the arse to do21:07
theholyduckand useless21:07
theholyduckit can SKIP backwards and show the frames it skips to21:08
Amaranthi find it useful for skipping to a part of a video to watch21:08
theholyduckand it doesnt have a slider to drag21:08
theholyduckAmaranth, well thats not playing backwards though21:08
Amaranthand I think all gstreamer codecs can do it except the ffmpeg ones21:08
theholyduckits just showing the i frames21:08
theholyduckand yes. there is a difference21:08
theholyducka MAJOR one21:08
Amaranthi know21:08
Amaranthgstreamer literally plays the video though21:09
Amaranthhigh speed or backwards depending on what direction you're dragging the slider21:09
theholyduckAmaranth, who the hell has time on their hand to write something as useless as a BACKWARDS frame decoder?21:09
theholyducksure writing a system for displaying the iframes as you're dragging the slider is 1 thing21:09
theholyduckbut ACTUAL backwards decoding?21:09
Amaranthpeople aiming for an exceptional video playback system21:09
bruce89more of a media everything system21:10
theholyduckbut ffmpeg allready does basicly any video format ever21:10
theholyduckadd that to mplayer format to use w32/64codecs for the stuff it cant21:10
theholyduckand i really dont see the need for anything else21:10
theholyduckmplayers ability :P21:11
Amaranthdon't even get me started on w32codecs21:11
theholyduckAmaranth, its a dirty evil stupid hack,etc,etc21:11
theholyduckbut it WORKS :P21:11
bruce89nor is it needed21:11
Amaranthhacky, slow, buggy, illegal21:11
theholyduckbruce89, sure it is21:11
Amaranthand no, not needed21:11
theholyduckbruce89, you need it to play realmedia21:11
bruce89not in my experience21:11
theholyduckatleast some of it21:11
Amaranthffmpeg can handle realmedia21:11
theholyduckAmaranth, not ALL realmedia.21:12
theholyduckand not the mplayer you ship in ubuntu21:12
Amaranthand who the hell uses realmedia anymore?21:12
theholyduckAmaranth, all my old pornos!21:12
theholyducketc21:12
bruce89certainly not the BBC21:12
Amaranthuh21:12
Amaranth!ohmy21:12
ubottuPlease remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others.21:12
theholyduckAmaranth, you cant use the word porno?21:12
AmaranthIt's a very bad thing to be talking about21:13
theholyduckim not talking about them. just giving a reason21:13
theholyduckcurrently just mentioned as a word. not whats in them21:13
theholyduckyou english people are too uppity on what words one can and cant use.21:13
* bruce89 is Scottish21:13
bruce89our telly's full of swearing mind21:14
theholyduckits pretty fun to compare movie ratings between us/england and norway.21:14
theholyduckanything rated 15 in norway will be 18+ in the us21:14
theholyduckbut yeah its a bit offtopic i gues21:15
* bruce89 was saying that21:15
Amaranthyeah, back to the point21:15
Amaranthgstreamer is a framework for media21:15
Amaranthffmpeg is a bunch of codecs in a library21:15
AmyRoseI'm guessing this is also the channel for Kubuntu Jaunty?21:20

bruce89probably21:21
euxnekskubuntu+1 forwards to here so I'm guessing yes21:21
AmyRoseWell, I'm having some Qt 4.5-releated drawing glitches. When I point at toolbar buttons, they look like they're pressed down.21:22
AmaranthIt is the place but no one here actually uses KDE so...21:29
AmaranthBasically there is no place21:29
euxnekshow does one restart xorg in jaunty now?21:35
euxnekssudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart?21:36
jpdssudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart21:37
carl0s-Does anybody know where per-user X resolution settings are stored? I've dropped the resolution too low and I can't set it back as the screen just stays black with the mouse pointer on there.21:41
HaeginUbuntu seems to have an old buggy version of taglib-sharp in the jaunty repos atm, which project should bugs be assigned to?21:41
carl0s-so gdm looks fine, but once I log in I get 800x600 instead of the 1024x600 that I want.21:41
carl0s-also I can't actually login normally since last updates, I get "your session lasted less than 10 seconds.. something died" and have to use failsafe gnome session. Anybody else seeing this?21:42

hggdhFaMott, I do not follow you. What do you mean?22:08
FaMottDid you look at the image?22:08
hggdhnow I did, and this is why I had not follwed you before...22:09
hggdhwow!22:09
hggdhno, it is not22:09
hggdh(supposed to). At all.22:09
gnomefreaki have to get me one of those ;)22:10
hggdh:-)22:10
gnomefreakyou only need 1 X1122:10
FaMottHmmm, How do I go about getting rid of the others, then?22:10
demon_i have a question22:10
gnomefreaki know i read the above, sorry my time to relax after a crap day22:10
demon_is it true that in 9.04 you can use usb stick as ram? just like in vista22:11
hggdhwell, that is a more complex issue... I would do that out of X22:11
gnomefreaknormally they rename X11.1 ect... maybe not .1 but you know what i mean22:11
CycomFaMott: it's a symlink that's recursive.22:11
FaMott... Okay, so If I undo the symlink, it'll be alright?22:12
joaopintodemon_, you can already do that with 8.10, you just need to create a swap partition on the flash device :)22:12
hggdhthen a 'ls -l' should show it22:12
CycomFaMott: I would advise against it.22:13
Cycomit's fine now.22:13
Cycomwhy would you mess with that particular symlink?22:13
Cycomit just points to .22:13
demon_NOOOOOOOOOOOO joaopinto you need to tell how to do that :D22:13
Cycomyou can see this with ls -ls X1122:13
FaMottIs it wasting space?22:13
CycomFaMott: not in the least.22:14
FaMottOk, then I probably don't have to worry about it22:14
demon_joaopinto, can i PM you :)22:14
LSD200quick Q - what in ubuntu stops the title bar at the top of apps from showing - just ran a bunch of updates and it's vanished from my apps22:16
CycomFaMott: in fact, I suspect it would be BAD to remove that symlink.22:16
FaMottProbably.22:17

bz0bok thats what i thought22:24
bz0bthanks gnomefreak22:24
bz0bgnome is in hard freeze anyways so its pretty much the rc right?22:25
gnomefreakbz0b: np sorry for the cruft before i didnt get away from here fast enough :(22:25
gnomefreakright22:25
bz0bnp thanks22:25
LSD200:/ ok it's a gnome fault i was having in jaunty where no title bars showing22:26
bz0bis jaunty pretty stable as of now?22:26
crdlbit varies22:26
gnomefreakdefine stable22:26
LSD200i wouldn't use it for work yet22:26
gnomefreakmuch more stable than 2 months ago but still able to break on you22:27
bz0bas far as everyday use for basic things such as web browsing, watching movies, litsening to music, and an occasional aircrack for proof of concept here or there ;-)22:27
* gnomefreak has some bugs to fix but nothing that cant wait for KK22:27
gnomefreakfirefox has a bug or 100 but ubufox needs to be fixed as it seems to be root cause22:28
gnomefreakseamonkey sunbird lightning and the rest of my toys are all working fine ;)22:28
bz0bi see ok well sounds good thanks for the info22:29
* crdlb hopes that one day ephy can be the default with firefox available for people who want it22:29
* bz0b is buring ubuntu 9.04 amd64 as he speaks22:29
bz0bcrdlb: is ephy any good?22:29
gnomefreakcrdlb: thats bee discussed i think it was hardy devel sycle22:29
crdlbnot yet :)22:30
crdlbwell, with it using gecko, it wouldn't make much sense22:30
gnomefreakits a gnome based gecho browser now choice with webkit22:30
crdlbbut in a cycle or two, once webkit-gtk is mature ...22:30
LSD200i'll stick with opera22:30
gnomefreakyeah mature22:30
bz0bbattle of the browsers nice22:30
FaMottI like Opera >.> but it lacks the extensions I need, all though firefox is starting to yanno, Go bad D:22:31
Amaranthgnomefreak: it's not a gnome-based gecko browser anymore22:32
gnomefreakwe might get the horrible "firefox is currently open" error or whatever it is. I have a work around for 3.1 but still need to work out kinks22:32
LSD200opera is good for work and baffles the "IT admin" so all is good and handles e-mail etc much better imho just a shame it's not included22:32
Amaranthit's a webkit browser with a gecko option that you probably shouldn't use as I don't think anyone makes sure it works22:32
gnomefreakAmaranth: no? it still uses gecko engine with a choice of webkit22:33
gnomefreakor vice versa22:33
Amaranthgnomefreak: the focus is on webkit22:33
bz0bwhat is a webkit browser with gecko if i may ask/22:33
AmaranthWouldn't surprise me if they dropped gecko support after webkit gets good enough22:33
crdlbgecko support _is_ dropped22:33
crdlbin trunk22:33
Amaranththere you go22:33
crdlbthey've been removing some of the abstractions too22:34
* gnomefreak really starting to hate seamonkey so i will get back to it tomorrow night guys22:36
gnomefreaki take that back one more thing to finish22:36
bz0bhey just a question to some of the devs, does ubuntu have a way of being able to compile its packages based upon your system specs in order to get the most out of your system, e.g like gentoo22:36
crdlbno, because the difference is negligable22:37
Amaranthbz0b: no but for the few packages where it actually matters that stuff is done at run-time22:37
crdlbin particular, if you use amd64, you're already dropping all the legacy support22:37
bz0bcrdlb: what do you mean negligable22:37
bz0bi see, just curious so basiaclly everyone have the same pre-configured bins for whatever version of ubuntu they use22:38
bz0bi understand that as the ease of access goes, but when it comes to the hard core guys who want to get the most preformance out of there system thats where you loose some possible users22:38
dnyagaUpdated kernel to 2.6.28.29 [regular updates]. Boot on my machine broke. Can boot older kernel [2.6.28.28]22:39
gnomefreak2.6.26-9?22:39
gnomefreaklinux-image-2.6.28-9-generic  << the one i couldnt find22:40
LSD200think 1 of the regular updates has "tweaked" gnome22:40
bz0banother question, for security purposes isn't using sudo over just having root kind of insecure, considering all someone has to do is get user privledges go sudo, and bam full root access22:40
Amaranthbz0b: no because they now have to find your username and your password22:40
Amaranthand sudo logs everything run through it, although sudo -s kind of breaks that22:41
bz0bAmaranth: right but for the standard user who has one user on the system other than the daemon user accounts, its somewhat insecure22:42
Amaranthbz0b: How so?22:42
Amaranthbz0b: they now have to find your username and your password22:42
bz0bwell one rootkit, on a regular user who has wheel access, run a terminal sniffer and gg22:42
dnyagaInstalled: 2.6.28-9.29; Previous: 2.6.28-9.28; Boot with "newer" kernel - dropped into Busybox with a complaint that it cannot find the root device.22:43
gnomefreakthats the one i getting atm i dont see it being a problem but wont know until morning22:44
digitaloktaydnyaga, kernel-panic?22:44
gnomefreaksudo nor su store sensitive data in clear text22:45
dnyagaYes. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340795 for a little more detail.22:45
ubottuUbuntu bug 340795 in linux "Kernel update 2.6.28-9 in Jaunty alpha breaks boot on Gateway laptop" [Undecided,New]22:45
digitaloktayyes i had this problem yesterday after update with kernel, too22:46
gnomefreakdnyaga: do you delete kernels from grub/system when you update one?22:47
gnomefreakother wise busybox means nothing just boot older kernel22:47
gnomefreaknevermind i thought you said you cant boot earlier kernel in here but bug report says you can22:48
dnyagaNo, I do not. It was a simple update-reboot. My older kernels are still in place.22:48
gnomefreakkey words "ext4 partitions"22:48
dnyagaYes, even now running on 2.6.28.28. 2.6.28.29 is the one that wont boot.22:48
gnomefreaknot yet stable. atm it is a choice but ext3 is default. ext4 should be better in KK at least from what i hear22:49
crdlbext4 broke, what a shock :o22:49
dnyagaConverted my former ext3 partitions when I installed the alpha close to a month ago. Not sure if we should blame ext4 yet though. Working fine with previous 2.6.28 kernels.22:50
gnomefreakdnyaga: kernel version means nothing other than to track it. a module could break ext4 and not ext322:51
bruce89I assume to not bother installing 2.6.28-9 ones, or the ubuntu14 xorg22:51
gnomefreak1:7.4~5ubuntu15 works fine22:52
gnomefreak14 is behind ;)22:52
dnyagaOK. Reported it for info sake, happy for now working with whatever kernel boots.22:53
* gnomefreak didnt fix this upstream didnt touch it and asac hadnt gotten to it. more testing tomorrow22:53

DanaG"Regardless of type, a bubble should appear as a rectangle of color #131313 (regardless of theme) with opacity 90%, corner roundness 0.375 em, and a drop shadow of #000000 color and 0.5 em spread. The bubble should blur whatever is behind it with a Gaussian blur of 0.125 em." -- no, no, no!  Hard-coding colors is RUDE!23:13

bruce89DanaG: yet another nail23:13
DanaGI really have a bone to pick with apps that say "screw you" to my theme colors.23:13
bruce89"Black is what Vista does, we need to do that too"23:14
DanaGOh yeah, and the new PulseAudio has "flat volumes" -- which I find royally confusing.23:15

DanaG  "When there is a kernel oops, a notification bubble appears asking if you want to send the error to the Kernel Oops Web site: “Always”, “Yes”, “No”, or “Never”. This should totally be an alert box instead."23:16
DanaG.... totally!23:16

DanaG.... should pop up?  No thanks.23:19
DanaGWhat if I plug my phone into my laptop to use bitpim.... it'll prompt me to set up mobile broadband?23:20
DanaGWell, for one, I don't have a data plan.23:20
DanaGAnd for another, the setup wizard doesn't even offer Verizon at all!23:20

bruce89tell me about it23:23
bruce89flawed design, worse implementation23:23
Amaranthheh23:24
Amaranthgood design, buggy implementation23:24
Amaranthtoo bad things that want you to do something with them can't automatically be converted to the indicator applet23:24
AmaranthAlthough that's not the only use of the indicator applet so...23:25
crdlbmy only issue with notify-osd now is that they insist on changing all the icons to look good with notify-osd23:25

bruce89we had a pet hamster called Fudge23:32
AmaranthDanaG: that at least is a simple fix23:33
AmaranthDanaG: put the images in the hicolor theme23:33
DanaGCheck out these themes:23:34
DanaGhttp://francois.vogelweith.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=3&Itemid=1423:34
Amaranthoh, even better, that's a bug in the build script23:34
Amaranththey're already being installed somewhere theme-agnostic23:34
bruce89taking their time to fix it23:34
DanaGThey're nice... but since they assume 24-pixel panels, they look horrible with bigger panels.23:34
AmaranthDanaG: I can't read any of that23:35
DanaGThe pictures are what matter, not the words.  =þ23:35
Amaranthnot if I want to install them23:35
DanaGOh yeah, they give you an apt source line.23:36
DanaGoh yeah, and another thing with notify-osd: it's horribly laggy.23:36
FaMottsudo mount /dev/sda123:37
FaMottmount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab23:37
FaMottThat... may be an issue o.O23:37
DanaGTry hitting volume-up and volume-down repeatedly.23:37
DanaG... and while it lags, it eats CPU, too.23:37
Amaranthhuh, nothing shows up at all anymore23:37
Amaranthoh, right23:37
Amaranthsudo mv /usr/share/notify_osd /usr/share/notify-osd23:37
Amarantherr, wrong window23:38
DanaGI symlinked notify-osd to notify_osd23:38
DanaGI figured symlinking is just as good, and will let it fix itself later.23:38
DanaGdeb http://debian.vogelweith.com/ intrepid zgegthemes23:38
DanaGdeb-src http://debian.vogelweith.com/ intrepid zgegthemes23:38
Amaranthit's not lagging for me23:38
DanaGthere's a metapackage, zgegblog-themes23:39
DanaGOh yeah, what video driver?23:39
Amaranthnow brightness, that lags like hell23:39
DanaGI'm on Radeon, R600.23:39
DanaGOh, and try doing "skip track" a lot in a media player app that uses notifications.23:39
Amaranthbut that's true on all distros, it's just gnome-power-manager23:39
AmaranthIntel X3100, UXA23:39
DanaGYou'll find it can start lagging for like 15 minutes, devouring CPU the whole time.23:39
Amaranthnotifications are not showing up at all for banshee23:40
AmaranthDanaG: nope, banshee behaves23:41
DanaGhmm, try with quodlibet.23:41
Amaranthso the app is broken23:41
DanaGLoad a bunch of tracks, then skip forward a bit, and then hit skip-back a whole bunch of times so it indicates first-track multiple times.23:42
Amaranthi'm not going to install and setup a music player I don't want to use just to see a bug in said app23:42
crdlbbecause it doesn't update its old notifications?23:42
Amaranthright, quodlibet is creating new notifications instead of updating the old one23:42
DanaGIn the old one, it'd show all the notifications by replacing old ones with new ones, and by stacking them.23:42
DanaGSo it would get a bunch stacked vertically, but no artificial delay between them.23:43
crdlbright, but there's no reason to see more than one new-song notification23:43
crdlbso it should be updating the old one23:43
DanaGOh yeah, also try simply holding volume-up or volume-down, so it repeats.23:45
DanaGIt'll start doing that distracting blinky thing... rather glitchily.23:45
DanaG... and it'll stay pegged at max volume the whole time, and not let you decrease volume until it's done.23:46
crdlbI prefer the original mockups for volume/brightness23:46
crdlbtrying to have defined increments when you don't control the hardware is stupid23:46
DanaGhold on while I ctrl-alt-backspace for a moment.23:47
Amaranthcrdlb: eh?23:47
bruce89"New vendor-specific caps may be specified as long as they start with "x-vendor""23:47
Amaranthoh, yeah23:48
Amaranththe mockup looks super shiny23:48
AmaranthI wish they implemented the volume like that23:48
DanaGI think they should use a "triangle" thingy for volume, not just a flat bar.23:48
Amaranththey originally did but changed it to a boring bar23:49
DanaGoh yeah, I like non-shiny... take a look at my theme.23:49
DanaGwww.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/screenshot.png23:49
DanaGSure, it's snazzy and bright... but not... glossy.23:49
DanaGOh, and I have changed my lower thing back to a normal panel -- not a dock anymore.23:50

DanaGNodoka engine is nice.23:50
thiebaudei wish i can run 9.0423:51
AmaranthDanaG: mine is a bit more shiny23:51
crdlbAmaranth: why does noitify-osd insist on animating itself? :/23:52
AmaranthDanaG: oxygen for gtk, gnome-colors icon theme (blue), gnome-do's docky23:52
Amaranthcrdlb: eh?23:52
* bruce89 sticks with plain old ClearLooks23:52
bruce89this week, with green colours23:52
crdlbthey had to add a workaround to animation so that animation wouldn't do its own fade effect23:53
Amaranthcrdlb: say my name twice (two lines) in a couple seconds23:53
crdlbie modify the default configuration23:53
crdlbAmaranth: 123:53
crdlbAmaranth: 223:53
Amaranthsuck23:53
Amaranthit doesn't combine them23:53
Amaranthcrdlb: because it's supposed to work with all compositors23:54
Amaranthand there is no "please fade me" request you can make to a compositor23:55
crdlbif a compositor doesn't want to fade notifications, then it won't ...23:55
Amaranththey want it to always fade23:55
crdlband if a user doesn't want them to fade ...23:55
Amaranththey should use OpenSuSE's KDE desktop23:56
Amaranthwe're trying to provide an experience23:56
bruce89yuck23:57
Amaranthone thing I'd like is larger fonts in the notifications though23:57
