linuxgeek_why??00:07
Hobbseebecause you didn't sudo it.00:07

Hobbseewhen it told you only root could reboot00:07
dtchen_Hobbsee: but they don't share any files00:07
Hobbseedtchen_: oh, don't they?  I'm on a half upgraded system with no devscripts :(00:08
Hobbseeit should definetly be a missing conflicts, though.  This is the section that confuses me every time.00:08
dtchen_Hobbsee: yes, missing Conflicts00:09
Hobbseedtchen_: right.  I'll fix it, then00:09
linuxgeek_guys now jaunty got stuck and basicly died00:11

dtchen_sounds like a great idea. i'll just run that over sound/00:28
_r00t-does anyone have problem with X in latest jaunty ?00:28
bruce89apparently, it was only a VM00:29
dtchen_Cycom: did you file a bug for your headphone jack issue? if you haven't, please do. the kernel team is using SRU policy, so i can't in good faith request a pull from my tree without a corresponding launchpad bug #00:33
dtchen_Cycom: please do that and tell me the bug #; thanks00:33
tretleis there some way of removing the crux and glider themes from jaunty now?00:33
macobruce89: no need to say "help help!" then is there?00:34
bruce89well, that's the point00:34
jscinozhi00:42
jscinozwith a recent upgrade (yesterday) sudo broke00:42
humboltThe new GDM theme is an embarrassment! Totally unprofessional appearance. Let us please get something else and not look stupid. I have proposed a very very nice alternative here http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/18286 and here http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/18143/ . Very unique and beautiful! Please vote on it, if you like it.00:43
SeveredCrossAnyone know if conky is working?00:43
jscinozupon typing the correct password, sudo exits without running the command specified00:43
jscinozsame with gksu00:43
SeveredCrossEven with the default conkyrc, nothing happens.00:43
jscinozluckily i still have root as i enabled a public key login for root over ssh (so i can ssh root@localhost)00:43
jscinozany ideas how i can fix sudo?00:43
bruce89humbolt: can't please everyone, I'm not a huge fan either00:44
Hobbseehumbolt: too late - and lots of people do think it's nice, fwiw00:44
crdlbI like how it ties in with the bootsplash00:45
jscinozhumbolt: newwave is actually packaged for jaunty i believe.00:45
crdlband due to its minimalism, it doesn't really clash with any desktop themes00:45
humboltHobbsee: It is not a good fit, as it is very controverse 50:50, see the voting on Brainstrom. For that reason alone it needs to be replaced. 50% unhappy folks is too much and I am certain one with a higher approval rating can be found.00:46
crdlbbrainstorm is not an accurate representation of ubuntu users :)00:46
Hobbseehumbolt: everyone is never happy with artwork.  And those on brainstorm are not necessarily representative.00:46
Hobbseeand besides all that, we're frozen for beta now00:46
jscinozhumbolt: and i also believe that wall-light cant be implemented due to some limitations in the current gtk engines00:46
Hobbseejust like the forum users aren't (thankfully!)00:46
humboltcrdlb: an accurate representation of the ones who care.00:46
bazhanghumbolt, please dont spam that in #ubuntu ; #ubuntu-offtopic for that please00:47
jscinozor at least it cant be implemented exactly as in the mockups00:47
bruce89brainstorm is a waste of time00:47
jscinozi know that someone made something similar to it though00:47
humboltHobbsee: still a very bad decision. You have the Ubuntu world divided like Bush and Gore did. Not good, not good at all.00:47
jscinozalso humbolt what about the dust theme?00:47
Hobbseewhat is it with troll days today?00:48
crdlbjscinoz: with graphical gdm themes, you can do pretty much anything, can't you?00:48
humboltjscinoz: no idea show me00:48
Hobbseehumbolt: people vehemently disagree with the artwork *every* release.  It doesn't seem to have been a problem so far00:48
jscinozcrdlb: oh i thought we were talking about the gtk theme00:48
jscinozhumbolt: one sec00:48
crdlboh, I didn't scroll down :)00:48
bruce89well, with this one there is disagreement with notify-osd too00:49
jscinozhumbolt:00:49
jscinozhumbolt: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/DustTheme00:49
jscinozsorry link didnt paste first time >_<00:49
humboltHobbsee: just this one is really really far from professional. That's the work of a first grader. Ask anybody who has an art degree.00:49
Hobbseebruce89: yeah.  Oddly enough, gdm isn't the one that seems to get the most complaints.00:49
* Hobbsee hears deja vu00:49
humboltHobbsee: a black screen basically. pff00:49
Hobbseehumbolt: take your trolling elsewhere, please.00:50
bruce89and preferably not #ubuntu00:50
humboltHobbsee: ok, just wanted you guys to be aware of this "solution" on brainstorm00:50
* hggdh thinks the theme is cool00:50
Hobbseehumbolt: the developers do look at brainstorm from time to time.00:50
Hobbseeso, thanks, but people are aware regardless.00:51
bruce89but usually the "ideas" there are impossible00:51
bruce89or just wrong00:51
Hobbseebruce89: heck yes.00:51
jscinozhumbolt: see the gnome-themes-ubuntu package, it contains new wave, dust and dust-sand00:51
bruce89I suspect brainstorm's purpose is to make people think they have an input on the process00:52
bruce89doesn't stop them moaning mind00:52
Hobbseewell, sometimes they do.  But i'm sure this is OT.00:52
bruce89I know, I'll shut up00:53
DaSkreechHallo00:54
DaSkreechUpgrade killed my network card00:54
DaSkreechAny idea on how to fix it?00:54
Hobbseedefenestrate it?00:55
Hobbsee(which one, for a start)00:55
DaSkreechwell it's castrated right now >_>00:55
DaSkreechI was getting an eth0:avahi with a 169 address00:56
DaSkreechwhich I figured wasn't right so I removed avahi-ipups (I think)00:56
DaSkreechWhich gave me back a pure eth000:57
DaSkreechwhich can't see the network or be assigned ip addresses00:57

DaSkreechAnyone knows if I can test if the card (controller really) is any good01:05
VorboteDaSkreech: Hmmm... If the kernel can see the network interface and load the driver, yet there is no chat with the outside world, I would check the the BIOS settings and the cabling before declaring it dead.01:09
DaSkreechVorbote: BIOS settings?01:10

DaSkreechbut I can't see anything from it regardless of connection or OS01:51
crdlboh :/01:52
DaSkreechOr to be more specific it can't be assigned an ip address it seems01:52

DanaGThe Fedora 11 alpha... WON'T EVEN INSTALL02:08
keithclarkI tried pclos and it was the same02:08
DanaGI've been trying for TWO DAYS to get a working F11 partition... but nope, every single install or upgrade route... doesn't work!02:08
xangI love the Fedora thinking and mission..just can't ever get used to the Fedora spins.02:08
xangJust loaded 10 a few days ago...just not that impressed.02:09
xangJaunty however, has been running pretty well.02:09

sebsebsebso upgraded my Ibex to Jaunty tonight, but02:10
bruce89yes?02:12
keithclarkand?02:12
sebsebsebfor a start what idiots removing  log out and shut down from  the  menu,  because it's on that other stupid thing.   Which resulted in me being pissed off,  adding log out buttons to the panel and shut down,  and not being happy where I put them.  and then noticing that  my  panels were all  weird now, because  it woudn't even show what  windows I had open in the usal place.   So  I add this and that to the panels,02:12
sebsebseband  my panels are horrible now.02:12

picklesworthmy grub's menu.lst had the new kernel versions added, but they were being sorted alphabetically and the default was set rather unintelligently03:34
picklesworththus it was still booting 2.6.28-9 even though I had -11 installed03:34

HalowThat's strange.03:35
picklesworth(I swear it didn't do that before)03:35

crdlbit should finally be ready for 2.28 :)07:20
stefano-palazzoi'm looking forward to it07:20
stefano-palazzofor some reason i havent bothered to investigate, the fonts in webkit* are really small for me, and i love that07:21
VSpikeI find whenever I have one of the big batches of updates (kernel, Xorg) my machine hangs/crashes during the update... if I drop out of X or go single user, the update goes smoothly07:24
VSpikeAnyone else see this?07:24
VSpikeHappened about 3 or 4 times now07:24
stefano-palazzoVSpike, do you have a massive amount of packages installed? or little hard drive space left?07:25
VSpikeI don't think so to either.. let me check07:26
asranielanybody using kubuntu with a wireless network?07:26
VSpikestefano-palazzo: any easy way to count packages installed? :)07:28
stefano-palazzoVSpike,  "dpkg-query -l | wc -l"07:29
VSpikethx07:29
VSpike2096 packages installed, 1.5G free07:29
stefano-palazzothat sounds reasonable, i have 225607:30
stefano-palazzo1.5G free is a littel on the low side, but i don't think it should be the cause of your trouble07:30
stefano-palazzohow much ram does your machine have?07:30
VSpikemy instinct is that it's either kernel or X update that crashes the machine, and probably the latter.  I get screen garbage when it crashes07:31
VSpike1.5G07:31
stefano-palazzothat should be enough as well07:31
stefano-palazzoAn update of x shoudln't do anything other than replace some files07:31
stefano-palazzothe kernel regenerates an image on upgrade, but it also shouldn't do anything of impact to your running session, i think07:32
VSpikestefano-palazzo: agreed, it never has in the past07:35
stefano-palazzoother than doing an apt-get clean and apt-get autoremove, i'm all out of ideas07:35
stefano-palazzoit took me about a year to finally do an apt-get clean, and at that point it has freed up about 1.5 gb of disk space, so not a bad idea :-)07:36
LordKowwow what an onslaught of updates... must be beta freeze today07:50
stefano-palazzoi'm doing them now, fingers crossed once again07:52
LordKownone of them are major updates... everything went fine here07:54
LordKowi noticed that the artwork team fine-tuned the gdm theme slightly07:54
stefano-palazzoxserver-xorg-core :-)07:54
LordKowoh some new wallpaper too07:54
stefano-palazzooh thats a good point, does anyone else find the new gdm theme the ugliest thing the world has ever seen?07:55
stefano-palazzoi certainly do07:55
LordKowim fine with it07:55
DanaGYeah, the box is an ugly one.07:55
LordKowyea the box didnt help07:55
DanaGDidn't the background change a bit, too?07:55
LordKowyes.. if you're talking about the desktop bg07:55
DanaGNah, the GDM background.07:55
LordKowwell. the new one has always been just black07:56
zniavreDanaG:  they add a small box ?07:56
LordKowyea.07:56
DaemonDEBhmmm, Jaunty's realtime kernel freezes often, I ended up making my own 2.6.29-rc8 B-)07:56
DaemonDEB*sigh*07:56
LordKowthe coloring on the usplash theme is a little weird too.07:56
stefano-palazzoi think the new gdm theme looks like i made it. rubbish07:56
DaemonDEBI prefer the Dust theme07:57
LordKowwhatever. they *should* switch to plymouth soon but who knows given that nvidia refuses to support KMS07:57
DaemonDEBthough it's about time they changed that ugly boot screen07:57
LordKowand the new one is any better?07:57
DaemonDEBold one looked like crap on my monitor07:57
DanaGI tried plymouth from PPA.07:57
DaemonDEByeah, the new one looks much better07:57
DanaGI liked the Human-esque usplash better than the new thin line one.07:58
DanaGOh, and Plymouth does NOTHING.07:58
DanaGJust goes to text mode.07:58
stefano-palazzowhat i really want for booting is something thats active the whole time, from grub to desktop07:58
LordKowyea that would be lack of KMS or a proper VGA setting, DanaG07:58
DaemonDEBDanaG: You have to set your resolution B-)07:58
DanaGNot true, actually.07:58
DaemonDEBuse vga=ask07:58
DanaGI built a radeon KMS kernel.... still no go.07:58
LordKowhas to be a vesa mode.07:58
DaemonDEBthen copy the hex code to replace ask in your boot line07:58
DaemonDEBthen run update-grub07:58
DanaGI also did plymouth:debug on grub menu, and it did this:"07:58
DanaGIt completely disregarded the default SOLAR plugin...07:59
LordKowDaemonDEB, you shouldnt need to update-grub when changing a boot param.07:59
DanaG... and just loaded details.so.07:59
DanaG.... which is TEXT MODE.07:59
DaemonDEBPlymouth is pretty neat, the Fedora boot sceen is a blue sun with flares coming up out of it07:59
DanaGHow stupid.07:59
DaemonDEBvery eye-candy07:59
DanaGIt even explicitly said, "loading details.07:59
DanaGdetails.so"07:59
DanaGhow about ***** loading SOLAR?07:59
DanaGNope.07:59
DaemonDEBLordKow: If you don't, it'll go back to text next time you update the kernel07:59
LordKowi must say Fedora's plymouth is badass07:59
DaemonDEBof course I refuse to run distribution kernels08:00
DanaGSo, I've just gone back to usplash.08:00
DaemonDEBI always build my own unless I'm on a Fedora system08:00
LordKowDaemonDEB, i changed my vga= setting in menu.lst a long time ago and have done many kernel updates since then and the vga command is still there. you do have to change deb's grub update settings (which are in menu.lst) also08:00
stefano-palazzowhich works great if your resolution is supported, which mine isnt :-)08:01
LordKow# defoptions=quiet splash <-- that one08:01
DanaGI must have bad video karma.08:01
DaemonDEBI've come across a lot of Ubuntu-specific kernel issues, usually resulting from the patently stupid things they do to their "generic" kernel, heh08:01
DanaGPlymouth does nothing (or rather, uses details view only).08:01
DanaGfglrx.... has ALWAYS panic'd for me, even in Intrepid.08:01
DanaGSo, I stick with usplash and plain'ol radeon.08:02
DanaGThough I do build the drm modules from git.08:02
LordKowdo i still need to put rootfstype=ext4 ?08:02
DaemonDEBI don't clone git for anything08:02
DaemonDEBwell, especially not the kernel, if I need something bad enough there will at least be a release candidate soon that has it, that is at least known to build08:03
DanaGI use the packaged 2.6.29 kernels.08:03
DanaGGives me support for my HP accelerometer / freefall sensor.08:04
DaemonDEBI didn't think much about Ext4 til I decided to try it out just now08:04
DaemonDEBI usually go with XFS08:04
DanaGI wish I could speed up my boot, though.08:04
crdlblol08:04
LordKowpersonally, i'll wait for 2.6.30. i remember linux saying ext4 was stable just prior to 2.6.28 release. i could name off the list of major ext4 fixes since 2.6.28 but it would be a very long list.08:04
crdlbif you're used to XFS, I guess ext4 is safe enough ...08:04
DaemonDEBExt3 is painfully slow when you're unpacking tarballs with lots of directories08:04
DanaGyou seen this?08:04
stefano-palazzoExactly what performance boost can you expect with ext4 on any system other than a server thats constantly bombared?08:05
DanaGhttp://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzE1MA08:05
LordKowext4 works exactly how it was intended to be. people just dont understand the whole power-loss/computer hardlock data loss issue.08:05
DaemonDEBPhoronix is crap08:05
DaemonDEBthose people are complete morons08:05
LordKowthey think its the filesystem not working right but no it's working fine. the fact is your computer frooze or lost power before the journal was written.08:05
DaemonDEBtheir file system benchmarks were jsut flat out wrong08:05
DanaGAlso moronic reviews: benchmark an SSD... without timing the frickin' boot time.08:05
LordKowso either (a) someone is complaining about hdd thrashing because the journal is being updated every second or (b) they're complaining about data loss when the journal is updated say... every 60 seconds08:05
DaemonDEBthey don't even know how to interpret Bonie++ results08:06
DaemonDEBand they uild a "test suite"08:06
DanaGI mean, that's one of the SINGLE BIGGEST benefits of an SSD!08:06
DaemonDEBscary.......08:06
* DanaG sets his commit time to 15 minutes.08:06
DaemonDEB*build08:06
DanaGLets laptop-mode-tools work nicely.08:06
DanaGToo bad RADEON eats all my power.08:06
DaemonDEBfirst of all, the file system tests they claim to have done, Ext3 is not even capable of08:06
LordKowmake a backup of / and extract it unto an ext3 partition followed by an ext4 partition. you will definitely notice the difference.08:06
DaemonDEBunder the most ideal of circumstances08:06
stefano-palazzoi'm wondering if i should use ext4 on my laptop08:07
* DanaG uses faubackup for backups.08:07
DaemonDEByeah, Ext4 is good08:07
LordKowi use tar08:07
DanaGBackup volume is ext3 for safety.08:07
DaemonDEBExt4 or XFS, either one will do fine08:07
crdlbXFS on a laptop is really dumb ...08:07
DaemonDEBJaunty can have /boot on XFS now too08:07
DaemonDEB(bonus)08:07
VSpikestefano-palazzo: I did one of those recently :) But thanks for the suggestions08:07
stefano-palazzomaybe with ext4, i will stop aborting fsck every single time ;)08:07
LordKowwell there is a bug i should probably submit wrt pidgin08:07
DaemonDEBnot really08:08
DaemonDEBthe XFS zeroing files myth is wrong08:08
LordKowapparently AIM's buddy list is unavailable right now and the window title is "Untitled window" and it keeps popping up new ones every 20 seconds. currently sitting at 10 open windows08:08
DaemonDEBit had a data loss bug a long time ago that has been fixes08:08
crdlbwell, it's probably better than on an non-UPS-protected desktop, since you at least have a battery08:08
DaemonDEBthat was wrongly explained as "zeroing files for security reasons on a crash"08:08
DaemonDEB*fixed08:08
stefano-palazzowell, if i should really lose 60 seconds of work, due to an unlikely power off on a laptop with a battery....08:09
DaemonDEBExt3 has had more serious corruption bugs than that08:09
DaemonDEBand nobody has tried to spread FUD about Ext308:09
crdlbext3 is very reliable ...08:09
DaemonDEBhah08:09
crdlbslow, yes08:09
crdlbbut I've been using it since 2002; I can hang on a little while longer08:09
DaemonDEBExt3 is slow, wastes tons of disk space, is prone to fragmentation, has a horrible block allocation algorithm......08:10
DaemonDEBand is quite easy to corrupt08:10
DaemonDEByou should not trust any file system enough to have important data that's not backed up08:10
DaemonDEBbottom line08:10
crdlbof course08:10
DaemonDEBbecause any fs is perfectly capable of eating everything08:10
crdlbbut I don't want to push it08:10
stefano-palazzoeveryone was raving on about the speed benefits of MurderFS as well, and i couldn't notice a difference when i tried it08:11
DanaGhttp://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/bootchart/08:11
DanaGmy bootcharts.08:11
DaemonDEBReiserFS is/was better than Ext3 in a number of ways, where it fell short was mainly due to relying on the Big Kernel Lock08:11
DaemonDEBwhich meant it didn't scale well on multiprocessor systems08:11
VSpikeI been running ext4 in my arch linux install on my laptop for a couple of months without a hitch. Subjectively no noticeable difference in speed but I haven't attempted to time boots or benchmark08:12
DanaGHmm, what's a good FS for an actual backup VOLUME?08:12
DaemonDEBReiser4 has a number of very good ideas as well, these have even been copied for Ext4 to some degree08:12
macokwin's compositing: broken for everyone or just me?08:12
DaemonDEBand to Btrfs to a larger degree08:12
DaemonDEBDanaG: Ext4 in theory is what I'd use08:13
DaemonDEBin practice it is still new08:13
DaemonDEBExt4 has exposed some application bugs with its delayed allocation08:13
DanaGI'm currently leaving my backup volume as ext3.08:13
stefano-palazzoDanaG, usplash is using a lot of cpu time isn't it08:13
DaemonDEBso they're already going to hobble the file system in Linux 2.6.3008:14
DanaGBeats me, actually.08:14
DanaGI use data=journal on my / and /home, also.08:14

LordKowglad that happened before release. that is a memory eater08:15
macodone08:16
macooh it turns into a memory leak?08:16
LordKowwell it is in a way08:16
DaemonDEBI built my kernel realtime, optimized for Core 2 Duo, HZ=100008:16
macoi thought it was just an annoying number of popups to see08:16
DaemonDEBit's how Quake Wars suggests you build it08:16
DaemonDEBdoes seem to work better08:16
LordKowmaco, the point is as long as the aim buddy list is not available pidgin will continue to create a new window every x seconds.08:16
macoright08:17
LordKowimagine someone who leaves pidgin open 24/7 and aim is down for an entire night...08:17
macoi was thinking itd just become *visually* annoying08:17

macoi didnt consider that itd be an added memory leak08:17
macoeh itd get OOM killed if it filled swap08:17

DaemonDEBthat they can just make 2 kernels that kind of work, most of the time08:21
DaemonDEBB-)08:21
DanaGWhen it makes Pulseaudio abort... abort... abort... abort... abort... abort... abort... abort... abort... abort... abort... abort... abort... abort... abort... abort... abort...08:21
DanaGthat sucks.08:21
DaemonDEBUbuntu and Fedora are currently the only distributions that have Pulseaudio to where it works most of the time08:22
DaemonDEBif you use it on most other distributions you get all kinds of trouble08:22
eeg3There has to be a way to turn this off, I've never been more annoyed in my life by 902832873 notifications queued up from Pidgin...08:22
DanaGOh yeahzz, I wish Ubuntu could auto-mount eSATA like it does with USB and Firewire.08:22
DanaGI currently have to MANUALLY click it in nautilus to mount it,08:23
DanaG.08:23
stefano-palazzocan someone explain this indicator-applet business?08:24
DaemonDEBI *tried to make Pulseaudio work on Debian Lenny, they still have the old broken one08:24
DaemonDEBand their webcam tools in the repo are too old to really want to work with my webcam08:24
DaemonDEBother than that I would have stayed08:24
DaemonDEBAll of a sudden, many distributions are now allowing you to have /boot on XFS (including Jaunty)08:26
asranielhi there. does the mocrophone work for anybody in skype with ubuntu 9.04 ?08:26
DaemonDEBI'm thinking that they finalyl stopped having to be stupid with their GRUB settings to accommodate Ext408:27
DaemonDEBI don't use skype08:27
macoDanaG: mmm yeah, i think tickless is why08:29
stefano-palazzois the indicator-applet meant to be a replacement for the 'systray' (don't know what its called in english, application names of gnome components are localized)08:29
macostefano-palazzo: instead of every application cluttering up the notification area individually, we're having a unified place to say that you have IMs and emails08:29
stefano-palazzomaco, that sounds quite nice actually. if only xchat and gpodder would support it :-)08:30
macostefano-palazzo: normal notifications will still go in the notification area, but this way you dont have 2 IM clients and a mail client putting lots of icons in there08:30
zniavrebut it only display "no indicators"08:30
macozniavre: im trying to figure that out08:30
macoit works on my vm but not on my hardware08:30
macozniavre: any chance you use kdm instead of gdm?08:30
macothats the only odd thing i can think of about my gnome setup08:31
zniavrenop im gnome user only08:31
crdlbmaco: does the indicator-applet somehow allow apps to run 'hidden', like a system tray does?08:31
macohmm....is notify-osd running?08:31
dtchenDanaG: we use dynticks as of a couple releases ago, so there's no reason to use HZ=100008:31
macocrdlb: yes08:31
* DanaG just uses gnubiff for mail.08:31
DanaGwell, and thunderbird.08:31
dtchenDanaG: so, the argument that we should use HZ=1000 is a red herring08:31
macocrdlb: as of yesterday's upload, pidgin no longer puts an icon in the notification area by default08:31
DanaGThere's nothing quite like having it QUACK at you when you have mail.08:31
crdlbmaco: and doesn't appear in the taskbar either?08:31
DanaGOkay, so when you close the buddy list... does pidgin just quit?08:32
crdlbhow do you open the buddy list then?08:32
zniavreyou can't08:32
macocrdlb: if you hide it with the indicator applet it will not be in tasklist. you can use the indicator applet to unhide it08:32
stefano-palazzomaco, how come pidgin is still in the normal notification area then? just not done yet, or on purpose?08:32
crdlbwhat we really need is a good way to have "desktop services" like IM clients, torrent clients, and music players running08:32
DanaGHow about if you hit the 'close' button?08:32
crdlbwithout them cluttering the notification area08:32
macostefano-palazzo: you have an old configuration08:32
crdlbindicating when there's a new message is a completely separate issue08:33
macoDanaG: then it actually does close08:33
crdlbpidgin is not really using the notification area as a notification area ...08:33
DanaGI happen to LIKE having my music player in the notification area... even when I happen to already be able to have it hide and show on a hotkey.08:33
crdlbit's using it as a windows-style system tray08:33
macoDanaG: if that was not the case, it would go invisible on non-gnome desktops and not be able to be brought back without editing ~/.purple/prefs.xml, which is a pain08:33
stefano-palazzomaco, thats right, im using a version of pdigin i've compiled from source, forgot about that08:33
macostefano-palazzo: well no i mean, "disabled by default" means for new installs08:34
dtchenthe absolute killer for us is the feature regression from feisty, where we had PREEMPT enabled08:34
macostefano-palazzo: if youve already got it set to show the icon, itll keep doing so. if you create a new user, it wont by default show the icon08:34
dtchenat that point, however, having PREEMPT enabled completely killed stability with binary-only blobs08:34
DaemonDEBkernel.org kernels are the only ones I use08:35
* crdlb doesn't use any binary blobs :/08:35
DaemonDEBI removed the Ubuntu linux-generic packages08:35
crdlbthat's fantastic.08:35

macothe darn thing pulls in l-r-m08:35
DanaGI'm using the mainline 2.6.29 kernel from ~apw08:35

elkyDaemonDEB, what are you trying to achieve here?08:39
dtchenin fact, we repacked alsa-driver in Debian for that reason08:39
dtchenmaco: that, too, is untrue08:40
DaemonDEBUbuntu advertises non-free modules even if you don't want them08:40
DaemonDEByou have to click on it just to dismiss it08:40
macodtchen: i uninstall l-r-m after install08:40
macodtchen: that's no detriment08:40
macoDaemonDEB: that's just to make it easy for newbies to find08:41
dtchenDaemonDEB: true, and there is no good way to prevent anyone from adding a third-party repository08:41
dtchenmaco: you're assuming that all hardware matches your specs08:41
macodtchen: *intel* hardware does not require l-r-m08:41
dtcheni did work on intel handheld devices that used said binary-blobs.08:41
DaemonDEBdtchen: The easiest way to avoid that problem is to use onboard sound08:41
maco*sigh* fine!08:42
DaemonDEBit's really nowhere near as bad as it used to be08:42
DanaGAt least radeon is far better than nouveau, at least in my experience.08:42
maconormal intel components for normal user systems08:42
bazhangDaemonDEB, hi08:42
DaemonDEBthat's because radeon is made using specs released by AMD08:42
DanaGnouveau hammers both CPU and hard drive (yes, somehow it hammers the hard drive), and doesn't even TRY to do suspend,.08:42
macoby which i mean things like graphics and internets and cpu08:42
DaemonDEBNouveau is reverse engineered based on Nvidia's closed source driver08:42
DanaGI did specifically buy my laptop with ATI, on purpose.08:42
dtchenmaco: yes, many people use them in their tv sets.08:42

macodtchen:  if you were here, i'd poke you!08:43
dtchenDaemonDEB: the problem with that is that it *was* onboard08:43
DaemonDEBWhat in the hell are they thinking?08:43

DaemonDEBI don't care, "fine" by my definition means I don't feel like buying a sound card cause the onboard chipset works "fine"08:45

gnomefreakto argue please join #ubuntu-offtopic this isnt the place for it08:45
elkygnomefreak, he's already banned from there for this same kind of crap08:45

ikoniaDaemonDEB: this is your only warning08:47
Hobbseeikonia: he had one earlier, which he ignored, fyi08:48
rwwOh a slightly more on-topic note, I noticed the new wallpaper and usplash themes today. Very nice :)08:48
ikoniaHobbsee: thank you08:48
macoi think itd give him more time for going to concerts and spending time with humans afk instead of fixing alsa & pulseaudio all the time08:48
elkyooh, new purdy stuff?08:48
Hobbseeelky: yup!08:48
macooh yeah the new wallpaper's pretty08:48
elkyi should probably install it at some point to see this08:48
elkytonight is not the night, however08:48
macoi'm hovering between the kde 4.2 pretties and the new ubuntu wallpaper pretties08:49
rwwelky: the usplash looks like http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-9-04-039-s-New-Boot-Splash-107165.shtml08:49
macomakes me wish i had two screens on my lappy and could put gnome in one and kde in the other08:49
DaemonDEBALSA and Pulse are generally a decision between what you want to break to get something else to work08:49
Hobbseemaco: install the ubuntu wallpaper pretties on kde?  ;)08:49
bazhang:/08:49
rwwso not too different, but still a nice refresh :)08:49
macoHobbsee: ive got it installed but the themes would clash horribly08:49
Hobbseeah08:49
DaemonDEBthere's stil la few apps you have to kill pulseaudio for08:49
maco...my god, im becomng such a girl08:49
dtchenDaemonDEB: unfortunate08:50
macodtchen: you! no more pointing out when i dont match!08:50
dtchenDaemonDEB: namely, i cannot force vendors to stop taking advantage of ioctl()08:51
DaemonDEBdtchen: I made a startup script for Quake Wars that kills pulseaudio before the game loads, and restarts it when I'm done08:51
DaemonDEBcause if I rely on ALSA, then my microphone does not work08:51
DaemonDEBnor does my USB headset for about half the apps08:51
dtchen`pasuspender -- q3a' would accomplish the same08:51
dtchenif it doesn't, i need to know, because that would be a rather serious threading issue08:52
DaemonDEBwithout Pulse forcing ALSA to not be stupid, it directs to sound for anything non-gstreamer through my speakers08:52
DaemonDEBeven if I tell GNOME to use the headset08:52
elkyi am sensing someone is lacking the ability to know when to stop08:52
DaemonDEB*the08:52
dtchenDaemonDEB: there are several breakages in components there. that's not entirely PA's fault.08:53
macoelky: what? ranting about the state of linux audio is perfectly normal.  try spending an afternoon with dtchen08:53
DaemonDEBit's quite infuriating just trying to use it, I could just imagine trying to do anything important relating to it08:53
dtchen(i dunno, i think i rant because i'm looking at the related code and fixing it)08:54
elkymaco, it's not the point of this channel08:54
macodtchen: thats true. you have first hand experience with the spiders living in it08:54
DaemonDEBwell, part of the idea with Pulse is to not have 50 different crapplets and config files that each control some little thing here or there08:55
elkydtchen, that's perfectly valid then. you're not simply soapboxing08:55
DaemonDEBand the humorous thing is that it has created more panels and settings files08:55
dtchenelky: arguably - and it's a bit of a stretch, yes - users complaining about it gives me data points to fix. but i agree that there's only so far one can go with it.08:55
elkydtchen, feel free to take it up in PM with him. he's making this channel unusable for anything else.08:56
elkyif he continues, i'll have to take measures to render it usable once more.08:56
dtchenelky: true. i think i'll shush and return to work. :-)08:56
macodtchen: shouldnt the sun be rising outside your friendly neighborhood IKEA about now?08:57
macooh...ok then08:57
elkyi think that's a preemptive yes.08:57
DaemonDEBonly if the rotation of the Earth voluntarily gives way to the rising of the sun, otherwise it could expose bugs, better leave it night to be safe08:58

BUGabundotime to go to #hacklaviva! see you guys in a few minutes18:01
DaemonDEBthe biggest gain you'll notice from switching from 32-bit to 64-bit Ubuntu is that the 64-bit CPU no longer lets you compile binaries using the 387 floating point unit (which is what the Ubuntu kernel uses otherwise)18:03
DaemonDEBthe 32-bit kernel is essentially meant for the Pentium Pro circa 199518:03
DaemonDEBit can't make use of most of the features of even the Pentium II or K6 era18:04
josh-lanyone pls18:04
DaemonDEBif you want to do audio mixing using a kernel meant for a CPU from the mid 90's, knock yourself out, heh18:05
tgpraveeni thhought frm dual core only could we run 64 bit oses18:05
DaemonDEBno, you can do SMP on a 32-bit Intel CPU18:05
tgpraveendual core,core 2 duo, quad core etc. pentium for eg doesnt support 64 bit18:06
DaemonDEBthe Core Duo on the mac was a 32-bit dual core CPU18:06
DaemonDEBother than in the Mac your really only saw them in laptops18:06
DaemonDEBalso you could buy a dual socket motherboard as far back as, well, forever basically18:06
DaemonDEBIf I'm not too far off base, most of OS X is actually 32-bit, and the kernel can be either 32 or 64-bit, you can also do that on Solaris, BSD, and Linux18:07

rippsNew issue; any sort of notification makes my compiz widget layer lose focus. Since this is where my terminal is, it's kind of annoying.20:36
=== Ampelbein is now known as ampelbein
=== ka_waii is now known as kanon-mat
tabgalripps, there's something about notifications stealing focus, it's a configuration issue20:49
arp13hello all20:58
arp13I'm having kind of problems with lvm2 package20:58
arp13actually, I'm not sure, that it's about it20:58
arp13but anyway...20:59
arp13I got daily-build of jaunty, planned to install it, using lvm2.20:59
arp13but, later, after successfull installation, when I try sudo modprobe dm_mod21:00
arp13it says - FATAL: no such module21:01
arp13is that a feature or bug?21:01
arp13everything works fine at 8.1021:01
arp13if somebody could test it, I would appreciate that much21:01
Turlhi21:07
Turlis the usplash final?21:07
Amaranthish21:07
jpdsTurl: You've been told yes in -devel.21:07
Turljpds: that guy said he wasn't sure21:07
TurlI want a confirmation21:08
jpdsTurl: #ubuntu-art maybe?21:08
Turlthanks jpds21:08
yofelcan anybody here set the frequency of his cpu with kernel 2.6.28? I can set it with cpufreq-select but the settings are ignored.21:08
Turlyofel: I can21:08
yofelodd...21:09
Turlyofel: I'm using the cpufreq applet21:09
Turlyofel: the one that says "CPU clock monitor" or sth like that (have a spanish Ubuntu)21:10
yofelI'm usually using that too, and the settings get applied, but judging from the cpu-temperature and powertop the get ignored21:10
Turlyofel: I don't think it heats more if the clock is higher but without load21:11
Turltry to compile something and then test with the temperatures21:11
knittlhi. i just upgraded to jaunty, but amarok won't play any music anymore :(21:11
dtchenknittl: kubuntu or ubuntu?21:12
dtchenmore precisely, do you have both GNOME and KDE installed?21:12
knittland it didn't preserve scores and ratings from my old sqlite db21:12
knittldtchen: ubuntu with gnome and amarok21:12
Turlknittl: did you try unmuting your speakers? maybe the upgrade muted them21:12
Turlhappened here some times21:12
knittlTurl: no, i get an error in amarok21:12
Turloh, I can't help you then21:13
knittlsound is kinda weird though on startup. it's cracking21:13
Turlknittl: then I guess it's a pulseaudio/alsa error21:13
knittlor phonon21:13
Turlwhat?21:13
knittlsoundserver in kde21:13
usser_ehm what happened to xchat? wheres the menubar?21:13
yofelTurl: I know, i measure the temperatur with 100% CPU, and i know exactly which temperatures are possible with a set frequency21:14
dtchenknittl: make sure that 1) PCM and Master are not muted or zeroed; 2) your default PulseAudio sink is the intended one (check with pavucontrol)21:14
usser_oh nvm21:14
yofelalso powertop shows that the cpu speeds up although it should not21:14
dtchenknittl: for the crackling, you should use the test kernel at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~dtchen/21:14
HalowThe test kernel worked great for me, by the way. :)21:15
knittli have a selfcompiled kernel, could use that as well21:15
knittland volume is up (rhythmbox is working, and everything else too)21:15
DanaGI sometimes have no sound until I mute and then unmute in pavucontrol.21:15
dtchenknittl: your self-compiled kernel probably doesn't have the necessary patch21:15
dtchenDanaG: known21:16
DanaGIt starts out unmuted... but I have to MUTE it.. and then re-unmute.21:16
DanaGKnown issue?  Cool.21:16
bruce89same here21:16
knittldtchen: this is a jaunty specific problem then? i hadn't had problems with my own kernel in intrepid21:16
dtchenHalow: how so? i.e., what were the symptoms prior and after?21:16
dtchenknittl: yes, specific to jaunty. intrepid did not have a pulseaudio version capable of glitch-free.21:16
dtchenas i stated in another channel, the audio stacks in hardy, intrepid, and jaunty are radically different21:17
knittlok.21:17
HalowI was having crackling and stuttering. With it, everything went very smooth.21:17
knittlhm, i just found a funny "bug"21:17
arp13heh, nobody is using lvm2? :-(21:17
knittlmy volume-keys change volume of analog volume + master21:17
knittlthat's the reason why i can't hear a thing below 50% master21:18
knittli wondered for ages21:18
knittlknown issue?21:19
solariondtchen: how about here? :)21:19
dtchensolarion: it has been rehashed to death in this channel21:19
dtchenknittl: that's your hardware21:20
* solarion shrugs21:20
knittldtchen: is then a way to turn of control of master channel? so the buttons just operate on hardware?21:20
knittl50 % being muted is pretty lame ^^21:21
dtchenknittl: choose different mixer controls via System> Preferences> Sound ?21:21
knittlgrml … too easy, haven't thought of that >.<21:24
DanaGUgh, the GDM background was far nicer when the logo wasn't so frickin' huge.\21:28
DanaGAnd was nestled nicely in the corner.21:28
dtcheni'm convinced that if you're staring at gdm more often than twice per week, something's wrong ;-)21:29
dtchen(obviously i'm biased, as that is one user on one computer.)21:29
knittljaunty's really responsive, i'm astonished21:30
knittlgnome/gui that is21:31
DanaGI also WAS using the gdm background as wallpaper... but now it's gone fugly.21:31
billybigrigger_dtchen: what about on a laptop? i see gdm everyday on my laptop21:32
dtchenbillybigrigger_: your usage patterns are likely vastly different to mine21:33
billybigrigger_probably21:33
dtcheni rarely reboot21:33
billybigrigger_but i dont leave my laptop running 24/7, my desktop is another story21:33
dtchenright, i don't either. i suspend-to-ram and resume from it.21:34
billybigrigger_fair enough, i should get used to doing that :P21:34
DrHalansuspending is slower than rebooting for me :()21:34
billybigrigger_lol what?21:35
* billybigrigger_ just try suspend21:35
billybigrigger_no way thats slower than reboot21:35
solarionactually, there is21:36
=== bruce89 is now known as bruce89bot
solarionunlikely, tho21:36
billybigrigger_cant believe i tried kde again, back to gnome21:36
=== bruce89bot is now known as bruce89
solarionjust never say "no way taht X is possible" 'cause nature will just specifically go out and find a way to show you how wrong you can be. :)21:36
billybigriggersolarion, so true21:36
knittlhm, on restarting amarok i get an error (warning?) that playback doesn't work (something with phonon, blabla) and falling back to default21:40
dtchenknittl: what's the precise error?21:45
dtchenknittl: if Phonon is reporting that ALSA is not available and that it's falling back to PulseAudio, that's expected.21:45
dtchenknittl: (i.e., PulseAudio is the default subsystem in GNOME)21:46
knittlha, it works!21:46
knittlneeded to install phonon-backend-xine21:46
=== Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk
aboSamoordtchen: I was reading about 2.6.29 kernel. It is said that it has patches for alsa codecs. Should I try them ?21:55
atiredmachineHello, since this morning my Jaunty no longer runs in graphics mode.  As soon as GDM is supposed to run I have black and white bars scrolling across my screen and nothing else happens.21:55
dtchen2.6.29 is no less broken21:56
dtchenyou need to try alsa-driver git HEAD21:56
dtchenstable, not unstable21:56
aboSamoordtchen: can I compile alsa driver against 28 kernel ?21:57
atiredmachineI assume a recent XORG update is incompatible with my system.  Is there anything I can do?21:57
aboSamooratiredmachine: look at and paste .xsession-errors ;)21:58
dtchenaboSamoor: sure. you just need headers installed for the target kernel.21:58
atiredmachinealright, I'll boot back up into ubuntu and see what's in there.21:59
c_kornI currently installed the jaunty daily in virtualbox. my gdm does not start after I installed the guest additions: http://pastebin.com/f68d3295f22:02
c_kornis this an ubuntu or virtualbox problem?22:03
aboSamoordtchen: I used to compile the wireless drivers, they have very nice tools to install and uninstall the drivers, are they available if I download git snapshot ?22:03
charlie-tcac_korn: did it work before you installed guest additions?22:03
c_kornyes22:04
dtchenaboSamoor: autotoolised. make {,un}install22:04
charlie-tcaI think it is virtualbox22:05
BUGabundocharlie-tca: hey22:10
BUGabundohumm intuitivenipple is gone22:10
aboSamoordtchen: no autotoolised in the git tar.gz file ! searching for tutorial for compilation ...22:13
bruce89aboSamoor: autogen.sh22:18
atiredmachineHey, where do I find that .xsession-log?22:18
dtchen~/.xsession-errors or what?22:19
=== cyberix_ is now known as cyberix
atiredmachinethat's confusing to me, so xsession runs under a user even though it launches before  a person has logged in?22:20
BUGabundohumm22:20
BUGabundoI think those are the session errors22:20
BUGabundo*after* k/GDM login22:20
aboSamoorbruce89: I have program called autogen, no file autogen.sh I downloaded this file [http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-driver.git;a=snapshot;h=70f7845ac33bf96b6e62178e83c67b82659ae9e5]22:21
dtchenif you're looking for X Window System logs, see /var/log/Xorg.*.log22:21
dtchens/X Window System/Xorg/22:21
atiredmachineok, sorry, so as soon as GDM tries launching my display just goes haywire, and somebody told me to look at a log file, but I don't know where to find it.22:22
BUGabundoatiredmachine: 1st try to choose failsafe session22:22
BUGabundoyou can choose it from k/gdm22:22
atiredmachinegdm doesn't load22:22
aboSamooratiredmachine: vim ~/.xsession-errors22:22
bruce89aboSamoor: read the INSTALL file22:23
atiredmachineI'm saying that nothing graphical (including GDM itself) works.22:23
BUGabundook atiredmachine22:23
BUGabundowhat CPU?22:23
BUGabundoATi?22:24
atiredmachineThinkpad T4322:24
BUGabundoplease reboot into recovery console, and try to run XFIX22:24
DanaGT43?  What video card?22:24
atiredmachineTried it22:24
atiredmachineATI22:24
DanaGI have a Mobility HD3650 (or as HP calls it, the Mobility FireGL V5700), and I just plain can't use fglrx -- it panics.22:25
BUGabundomost probably you have been it by some bug of the new driver22:25
atiredmachine64mb ATI X300 video card22:25
BUGabundoatiredmachine: please reboot into recovery console, and try to run XFIX22:25
atiredmachineBUGabundo, I'm pretty sure I already have to no avail, but I will try again.  I'll be back shortly.22:26
DanaGhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/31460022:26
ubottuUbuntu bug 314600 in fglrx-installer "fglrx versions newer than 8.543 cause system hang and panic" [Undecided,Fix released]22:26
BUGabundohumm22:26
BUGabundoI don't have much experience with ATi cards22:26
BUGabundoI only owned NVs and Intels22:26
BUGabundobut shouldn't at least the OpenSource driver work22:27
DrHalancommunity-themes and gnome-themes-ubuntu seems to be the same now...22:27
BUGabundoeven in bad performance?22:27
BUGabundoNVs always works22:27
atiredmachineI'm pretty sure I've been using the open source driver, as there has been no fglrx driver hitherto for Jaunty, am I not correct?22:27
DrHalani recommend using ati22:27
DrHalanthe open source driver became kinda fast now. At least i can play games like nexuiz on my laptop22:28
DanaGMy biggest gripe with radeon is lack of power management.22:30
sebsebsebI am quite happy at the gnome set up I just did.   some backgrounds will allow   for colours at the top and bottom of them, if they don't fill up the screen22:30
sebsebsebin this Gnome :D22:30
DrHalanoh my god they finally did it. the dust theme is now in ubuntu-desktop =)22:31
sebsebsebset up isn't quite how I  wanted I guess, but  whatever this will do22:31
sebsebsebDrHalan: the dust theme?????22:31
DanaGAnyone know why compiz thinks the r300 doesn't do texture_from_pixmap?22:31
=== negonicrac is now known as Guest33307
DrHalansebsebseb: yes it has been on the wiki for some time, then in community-themes and now it is in gnome-themes-ubuntu which gets installed by ubuntu-desktop22:32
sebsebsebDrHalan: maybe blubuntu GDM should be a default for  GDM.  instead of just in the repo as an option22:32
BUGabundoDanaG: my nvidia even with closed drivers has no way to control the power22:32
sebsebsebDrHalan: I love the blubuntu gdm screen22:32
BUGabundoand from my POV its 90% on 100%22:32
DrHalanits nice :)22:32
sebsebsebDrHalan: used that since hardy or something, not sure how long it's been in the repo for22:32
sebsebsebDrHalan: you know it as well?22:32
DrHalanyeah sure i tried blubuntu22:32
DrHalanbut i think dust is much nicer, i like dark themes but darkroom sucked22:33
sebsebsebthe theme won't work though22:33
sebsebsebwell  errors for the theme22:33
DrHalanyeah i remember i had to remove it at some point22:33
sebsebsebI don't like black on my computer except for like text22:33
sebsebsebso22:33
sebsebsebthat new default ubuntu gdm22:33
sebsebsebI don't like it much22:33
bruce89can't please everyone22:33
sebsebsebI had seen screenshots before going 9.04.  and then I tried it yesterday, after upgrading, and no thanks.   blubuntu for the win :)22:33
bruce89it's always the same22:34
sebsebsebxubuntu's mist theme as an option as well.  or whatever it was.  for gdm.  not sure if I had that before22:34
sebsebsebbruce89: what is?22:34
bruce89the complaining about the theme22:34
sebsebsebbruce89: heh yeah22:34
sebsebsebwell Ubuntu do crappy themes really22:35
bruce89literally22:35
sebsebsebhowever  the darker default background, I quite like that22:35
sebsebsebthis lighter one is ok as well22:35
sebsebsebfor 9.0422:35
* jpds likes the themes.22:35
aboSamoorbruce89: INSTALL file says that I have to run ./configure, but there is no file called configure in the tar file i downloaded !22:35
bruce89aboSamoor: true22:36
BUGabundohere is my desktop/theme today http://fileland.bugabundo.net/fotos/Linux/Desktop/20-03-2009.png.php22:36
sebsebsebyeah if Canocial are reading this right now, or  later on by reading the log. well here is my advice to them.   get a proper Ubuntu eye candy team sorted out,  or  Windows 7 is rather likely to  be better than Ubuntu by a long way, when it comes to default backgrounds and log in screens.22:37
sebsebsebyeah  Microsoft are  getting quite good with  eye candy in WIndows now22:37
sebsebsebstarting to be22:37
bruce89if they are listening, stop being so arrogant22:37
sebsebsebbruce89: lol22:37

sebsebsebit matters22:38
bruce89not everyone22:38
aboSamoorbruce89: I feel stupid :/ sorry  for disturbance22:38
sebsebsebbruce89: well  average computer users do, and isn't that who we would like starting to use Ubuntu?22:38
bruce89aboSamoor: you're allowed to ask questions22:38
bruce89sebsebseb: I don't care22:38
aboSamoorbruce89: the idea there is no configure file in the tar file, what am I supposed to do ?22:39
sebsebsebbruce89: some more  backgrounds can be added from the repo,  and some of those are quite nice, but that's not clear to   newbies22:39
bruce89aboSamoor: I see, the INSTALL files says something22:39
bruce89aboSamoor: line 144, "Compilation from HG sources"22:40
BUGabundostudies show that >85% never change their Desktop theme22:40
rippsThe latest kernel seems to be kinda unstable. I've been getting more freezes and kernel oops the past two days than the entire month I've been using Jaunty22:40
jpdssebsebseb: You're more than free to download the source, and do all the hard work yourself.22:40
bruce89BUGabundo: such as me (usually)22:40
BUGabundoripps: humm what GPU?22:40
barberioHi. Can anyone confirm that the latest python2.6-minimal build lacks zlib support?22:40
sebsebsebjpds: heh I would if I could,   who are you by the way?22:41
BUGabundobruce89: seen mine? nothing in there is standard22:41
BUGabundobarberio: you already asked it on a more "smart" #22:41
rippsBUGabundo: radeon rv35022:41
BUGabundohere you won't find extra details22:41
BUGabundoripps: I blame it on the new driver22:41
bruce89usually I'm lazy22:41
atiredmachineI'm back.  my ~/.xsession-error file is non-existant22:42
rippsBUGabundo: well, I would have considered that, but the driver was updated several days prior to the kernel update and everything was fine.22:42
BUGabundoripps: it just got updated 2 days ago22:43
BUGabundoatiredmachine: it's a mistery22:43
BUGabundobut did you manage to login in a safe session?22:43
atiredmachineto the prompt, yeah, no problem.22:43
jpdssebsebseb: apt-get source <packagename> is your friend.22:43
rippsOh, I must not have noticed an update slipped in more recently22:43
atiredmachinebut if I run startx I see whatever was left in the video buffer, but a glitched version of it.22:44
sebsebsebjpds: yeah what about it?22:44
bruce89jpds: depends what you're doing22:44
atiredmachinewhich in this case was the windows logoff screen22:44
DanaGoh yeah, ALSA no longer uses HG.22:44
DanaGNow I think it uses git.22:44

BUGabundoDanaG: calm down!22:45

BUGabundois that buggy or hw lack of support?22:58
yofelatiredmachine: check if you have xorg-driver-fglrx installed and try reinstalling it22:58
atiredmachineyofel how do I check that?23:00
atiredmachinenevermind, I think I can figure that out.23:00
atiredmachineyofel, if I uninstall the fglxr driver, will it default to the open source driver?23:00
atiredmachineor how do I use the open source driver instead?23:00
atiredmachinenevermind, I figured that out as well23:02
Cycomok, I figured I should share this great success here.23:07
Borg7-9is it true that 9.04 will boot f***ing fast23:07
CycomI'm running Ubuntu Jaunty Alpha 6, Cedega, and Steam.  I just played Left 4 Dead fullscreen with models and textures set to high.  I could shoot zombies.  My voice chat worked.  I was able to quickjoin a game.23:08

CycomBorg7-9: 30 days away. final release is slated for April 23rd, isn't it?23:09
BUGabundoCycom: yes23:09
sebsebsebyes Wine is getting there23:10
sebsebseb,but people should try and run native stuff :)23:10
Cycomsebsebseb: there isn't a native linux client for steam. we don't have the market share yet :)23:10
sebsebsebyeah  market share exactly23:10
Borg7-9damn Cycom :( my b-day is on 20th :( can they release it sooner :P23:10
sebsebsebit really is a joke how programs like Wine are so important these days on Desktop Linux, because the crappy OS has most of the market23:10
CycomBorg7-9: heh. I wish. but wouldn't you rather they release it BETTER!23:10
* bruce89 has never properly used wine23:11
Cycomsebsebseb: well, I'm running office 2007 on here too.  Basically, I'm running the windows software I need / want that I can't get FOSS.23:11
CycomEverything else (video player, web browser, etc. etc.) is all free stuff.23:11
atiredmachinehey guys, thanks.  I uninstalled the proprietary driver and that fixed the problem.23:11
sebsebsebCycom: uhmmmmm tehse are all nice to, but sure will lack certain features that Office 2007 have.   ,but yes these are all nice :)  Open Office, KOffice,  Abiword, and Gnumeric23:11

thiebaudecrappy OS remark23:12

BUGabundoCycom: video too? no closed codec?23:12
Cycomsebsebseb: doesn't support exchange.23:12
BUGabundoonly ogg/vogg ?23:12
thiebaudeie6 is so crap on ubuntu23:12
CycomBUGabundo: oh, yeah, I have closed codecs. Forgot about that. Medibuntu.23:13
atiredmachineEver since I started using Jaunty my system has defaulted to the open source driver, so I have no idea why all of a sudden this morning it had switched over the the proprietary driver23:13
sebsebsebCycom: well I guess it would have by now, but Firefox is Mozilla's priority, hence why  Firefox 3.1 is nearly out, and Thunderbird is still on version 223:13
BUGabundoCycom: no closed Firmware for devices?23:13
sebsebsebwould have been by now above23:13
CycomBUGabundo: not on this box, no.23:13
BUGabundotouchpad, disk, mem, LCD, BT?23:13
