[00:02] event horizon was a great movie [00:03] hmm, how do I fix it, then? [00:05] DanaG: I have no idea, chown it? [00:05] sudo rm /dev/null && sudo mknod -m 0666 /dev/null c 1 3 [00:05] ondisk: It got a bit out of hand towards the end though... [00:06] ah, dpkg --configure -a was it, actually. [00:06] It was inhibiting udevtrigger. [00:10] ienorand: yeah, but scary though! I couldn't sleep after I watched it :) [00:17] Sarvatt have you seen/heard of this ? http://virtuousgeek.org/blog/index.php/jbarnes/2009/05/07/pageflipping_blocking_etc [00:20] * wirechief hopeing for a breakthrough on uxa in karmic === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim [02:28] !arch [02:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about arch [02:29] !puppy [02:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about puppy [02:29] "_ [04:02] any using karmic yet? [04:02] er anyone [04:02] yea [04:03] several [04:03] * calc is considering reinstalling to karmic tonight for his trip to allhands/uds [04:03] ienorand: does it work well for you? [04:03] Very well actually, I've managed not to fall into any of the pits [04:03] anybody using claws-mail ? [04:03] ienorand: is gnome 2.27 in it yet? [04:04] I do have a solid nvidia card though, gnome 2.26 currently [04:04] ok [04:05] * calc is downloading the current desktop disc to reinstall with [04:05] well, actually, i did end up with a broken resolution just recently, but a quick reinstall of nvidia drivers worked out just perfect.... [04:06] ok [04:06] i am using intel drivers for my system [04:06] As always, I'd recommend installing it and running off a usb stick... been doin that all through jaunty 'til now [04:08] ok [04:08] * calc is a developer so probably should be using it as his main system, wasn't sure if it was stable enough to do that yet [04:09] hello [04:10] I'm not sure if I am using tinyirc correctly, can someone acknowledge I am here? [04:10] I won't switch from Jaunty until I get either KMS or 3D with radeon. =þ [04:10] DanaG, can you see my text? [04:10] yeah. [04:10] thanks [04:11] i switched and I paying the Alpha price [04:11] am* [04:11] i am forced back to a cli irc client, but I like this one so far [04:13] starts up fine, but after 90 seconds or so after full desktop the backlight goes banana wacky and it seems like ACPI or something is the problem but my machine becomes very difficult to use after that [04:13] right now i am in recovery mode [04:14] wait no I'm not [04:14] akio: uugh, pain. although cli can be cozy at times... [04:14] i switched to the vesa driver in recovery, but the problem remains after reboot - so I went to the tty [04:15] it's nice to be reminded of my roots [04:16] but I'm not too savvy as to where to look in the logs to see what is going on, iirc i thought there was an acpi log or something [04:16] it doesn't help I'm on vacation in Bogota Columbia with my only machine (and decided to dist-upgrade) [04:16] smoooth [04:17] i'm having weird issues even with jaunty on my new laptop, seems to probably just be intel video driver issues though [04:17] i don't think it is the issue because i force loaded vesa and the problem remains [04:19] * calc sees a new bios for his laptop so will load it before installing karmic [04:19] calc: have you gone for the -proposed intel stuff? [04:19] ienorand: not sure [04:19] how do you do that? [04:19] hmm looks like i haven't [04:19] UXA? [04:20] yeah that helped a lot [04:20] akio: for jaunty only, but you just add proposed in /etc/apt/sources.list [04:20] he was from my hometown [04:20] man this rsync is running really slow :\ i guess my net connection is crap [04:21] holy crap alpha is changing by the minute [04:21] yea, the xserver-video-intel version on karmic is an even newer one than the one in jaunty-proposed [04:22] akio: Yea, mustve been at least ~100 updates coming through today... [04:22] i want the KMS so badly I switched without checking to see if it was addded yet [04:23] running a safe-upgrade now [04:26] Any idea when we'll see radeon KMS? [04:27] calc: There hasn't been any answers in #ubuntu-devel in 5 hours... [04:28] DanaG: 2.6.31 or 2.6.32 [04:28] DanaG: (not karmic) [04:28] Damn. [04:29] oh yeah, so I am awaiting to see what'll come down the pipe, so to speak. [04:29] ienorand: the canonical managers are probably all flying out in the morning to barcelona, i don't leave until monday [04:29] I have a spare drive that has a 32-bit Karmic. [04:30] * calc will be in barcelona may 18-30 [04:32] Ah, keep forgetting that uds is coming up... would be fun to be able to go at some point, but I don't think that'll be in yet a while... need to actually do some developing first :) [04:32] the fall one will likely be somewhere in the US [04:33] really? [04:33] are those things public admittance? [04:34] i have a free round trip ticket and I would love to go [04:34] fall uds is nov 16-20 [04:34] akio: yea you just have to sign up on the wiki (iirc) [04:34] but the location hasn't been determined yet, afaik [04:35] akio: the 9.10 uds is week after next in barcelona may 25-29 [04:35] portland oregon, linus will check it out [04:36] i want to move to the SF bay area [04:37] too expensive for me :\ [04:37] i can get housing here for ~ $40-100 sqft instead of $300+ [04:38] you only need about 10 for a computer ;) [04:38] if you like the area you will be out more [04:39] heh [04:39] when i was there i was always walking around checking stuff out and riding the public transit [04:39] my ~ 1700 sqft home only cost me $72K [04:40] housing leans towards the buyer but I don't want to stay stuck in florida [04:41] i'm in houston which is fairly nice except for the heat and humidiity [04:44] almost done downloading the cd :) [04:49] * calc hopes his laptop isn't dying and that it is just a video driver issue [04:50] i wish i knew how to classify this bug, it is really annoying - a good idea would be to take a video of what is happening [04:50] what is happening? [04:51] does it look like the backlight is going nuts and the system becomes less responsive? [04:53] i rebooted into vesa and so far the issue hasn't come up [04:53] hmm, try blacklisting "video" module. [04:55] for me its drawing trash on fonts and various other graphical glitches [04:55] im not sure what that entails but it sounds drastic [04:57] yea this could be either a driver issue i am seeing or possibly failing hardware, not sure which yet [04:57] but the intel driver is known to be shit in jaunty [04:58] i can't wait for KMS [04:58] !kms [04:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about kms [04:59] what is KMS? [04:59] kernel mode switching [04:59] I want it because I have a non-standard screen size and it will allow proper console font sizing [04:59] without X [05:00] oh ok [05:00] it means alot on a 1024x600 screen [05:00] i have the MSI Wind [05:02] vesa doesn't work for any modern screen [05:02] it as defined before widescreens [05:07] vesa works for my screen it just stretches [05:07] akio: ah, how is the wind in general? I've been considering netbooks for future purchases... [05:07] i have a netbook to use but i like my thinkpad x200 much better [05:08] at 12" its not much bigger physically than 10" netbook but much more usable (of course also more expensive) [05:08] i want a thinkpad but the price is killer [05:08] akio: you can get discount through www.lenovo.com/cpp (familyandfriends) but they are still more than a netbook [05:08] i am going to get my dad the S10 with the 6 cell [05:09] * calc might get a W 15" for his next system since they have nice 1920x1200 screen [05:10] ok i gotta run for a while, going to upgrade my bios and see about upgrading to karmic [05:10] i'll be logged into irc but won't be at the console [05:11] calc: good luck [05:11] thanks [05:11] lol [05:11] oops [05:12] I was thinking of doing a netbook/desktop combo next round, since I use my current laptop as a stationary thingy so often anyways...

Does that mean one can start translating karmic packages on launchpad? [13:39] I'm having cryptsetup problems with karmic: booting with the .30 kernel, it halts at "Waiting for encrypted devices..." (no password prompt), using an older kernel halts at "Loading hardware drivers...". Anything known about this? [13:51] blueyed: loading hardware drivers sounds like you need to re-run mkinitrd or so [13:51] * dazjorz himself is having problems with horrendeously slow Qt or SDL stuff, not sure which of the two [14:04] dazjorz: maybe, but I fear that this results in cryptsetup / the password prompt not working/appearing in the first place, too (like in the new image). [14:07] possibly, yeah [14:08] though [14:08] "waiting for encrypted devices", doesn't that mean something like uuid / device name / device node is incorrect so it can't find the device? [14:08] that's the case with "waiting for root device", anyway [14:10] Good hint, but that would be odd: I've not changed the setup. [14:10] that would be completely normal under these circumstances ;-) [14:29] * dazjorz builds kdebase-workspace and kdebase from the source packages on launchpad [14:32] uh.. I've just regenerated the initrd in a chroot, and it's missing /conf/conf.d/cryptroot - which is in older initrds. however I've not checked if it has been there before the update-initramfs in the chroot.. :/ [14:35] well, it's not in my old 2.6.28-8 initrd either, only in 2.6.24-x. === XenoPhoenix_ is now known as XenoPhoenix [14:54] blueyed: check apt-file search cryptroot or so? :) [14:54] see if a package is missing or broken?

[20:40] okay, more like 5... but it's still damn annoying. [20:50] anybody using Karmic with RAID on root? (I have raid+cryptsetup+lvm) It seems like the raid setup does not get picked up anymore. [20:50] blueyed: better ask on #ubuntu-server === giaco is now known as giaco_way [21:23] BUGabundo: thanks, no response there though. File bug 377395 about it now. [21:23] Launchpad bug 377395 in udev "Karmic: encrypted root device (RAID+cryptsetup+LVM) gets not found" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/377395 [21:23] Off for another round to get the debuglog. [21:36] Can things like "bluetooth support packages shouldn't be installed on systems that aren't bluetooth enabled" be submitted as bugs? [21:38] joetheodd: nope [21:38] they will be closed with invalid or won't fix [21:38] since Ubuntu aims to work with any system [21:38] BT support should be present so that if you connect a dongle or card it works [21:39] if user doesn't wish them they can remove the packages [21:39] but the desktop seed will install it again on upgrades, and currently is builted into the kernel [21:47] Ideally, there should be a hardware detection thingy, so when you plug it in it'll be like "o hai der dongle, want me to get these packages?" [21:48] The same goes with cups, in my opinion. I don't have a printer, and don't ever plan on using one. ubuntu-desktop even requires cups. [21:49] actually on karmic for some reason synaptics is telling me it can remove CUPS! [21:49] I found that very strange [21:54] that hardware detection jawn would be sweet :) [21:54] joetheodd: sounds like a good project for you [21:54] this is FLOSS. feel free to implement it [21:55] devicekit + packagekit integration thing [21:55] BUGabundo: even if it wasn't FOSS you'd still be free to implement it [21:55] lamalex: not as easy, would it? [21:56] i dont see how it would be any less easy [21:56] windows for example sure the source code isn't available, but the apis are still there, otherwise no one could write software for it [21:57] you dont need the source code to every piece of software to write software that talks to it [21:57] frankly you shouldnt look at a projects code when writing another app that interacts with it, only the api docs [21:57] correct [21:57] gents, "/topic" please ? [21:58] this is not off topic enough to warrant telling us to get back on topic [21:58] lamalex: don't go there... [21:59] we're talking about programming, with respect to a daemon that watches for new hardware then offers to install packages you need for it to run [21:59] eheh [22:00] maybe if we were talking about our favourite stir fry techniques you could gives us a nudge about topic [22:01] lamalex, despite you having a printer or not, other software depends on printing functions provide by cups for it's printing, your suggestion with require, print-less software [22:02] that could be done, but make things much more complex [22:03] joaopinto: and what about BT? [22:03] eheh [22:03] joaopinto: CUPS doesn't really fall into scope with this at all [22:04] PLEASE this is 9,10 discussion [22:04] ikonia, were discussing about to remove cups or not from 9.10 [22:04] ikonia: relax [22:04] to make it on topic [22:05] joaopinto: :) [22:05] im sure the technical board will approve that no question [22:06] joaopinto, i think the problem with that is, CUPS is the common unix printing server. Nothing should depend on it that doesn't have to do with printing. [22:07] I always envision GNU as a spiderweb. Some packages are connected, and some aren't, with the core in the middle. CUPS is tied to things that have nothing to do with printing, which is a bad thing.
