solipcystign0ramus: your simple plan has put me on the right path.  but a quick search seems to point to a "known issue" with my motherboard's chipset :/00:15
ign0ramussolipcyst, well at least i got the good news first!00:15
solipcystunfortunately, i guess this means i'm stuck with a near 2 minute boot time00:16
ign0ramussolipcyst, check launchpad for a fix or at least a workaround00:16
ign0ramussolipcyst, not necessarily... what's it hanging on?00:16
solipcystign0ramus: well, just after "* Loading Hardware Drivers... [OK]", I get "ck804xrom ck804xrom_init_one(): Unable to register resource 0x00000000ff000000-0x00000000ffffffff - kernel bug?"00:17
ign0ramussolipcyst, ouch...00:18
ign0ramussolipcyst, have you tried any different kernels? (newer/older)00:18
solipcystign0ramus: yeah, and a quick search of ck804xrom_init_one finds a few people being informed of "known issues" with various nForce chipsets00:18
=== bruno is now known as Guest49642
solipcystign0ramus: no i haven't.  and that actually brings up another question.  this is a fresh install of kubuntu 9.04 x64.  i've noticed that after performing all updates as suggested by the package update manager that it continues to inform me of "8 software updates available".  when i check what they are, all that it lists are 4 (not 8) "blocked updates" that include what look to be updated kernels.00:21

fbvortexI'm trying to boot the Kubuntu Jaunty liveCD to install on a new Fujitsu lifebook with i945 graphics.  After I get the boot splash screen, the system loads but Xorg never produces a visible screen.  I've tried setting the graphics to "safe mode" before starting, with no change in the results.  Checking Xorg.0.log doesn't give me any obvious clues.  I can VT-switch and get the command-line.  What should I try to get xorg to actually come up?01:38

WalzmynProfOak: it must be set as the defalt browser01:40
Admiral_Chicagofbvortex: can you pastebin whats in /var/log/Xorg.0.log if you do tail on it01:41
ign0ramusProfOak, probably because you have it set as system default browser01:41
ProfOakWalzmyn: That's what I was thinkin, how do I fix that?01:41
ProfOakI'm just wondering how that could have happened.01:42
WalzmynProfOak: well, i thought i knew, i was looking so i could tell you01:42
fbvortexAdmiral_Chicago, let me copy the contents off onto a USB stick and pastebin it.01:42
ign0ramusProfOak, you can change it in System Settings > Default Applications01:42
Walzmynoh, i see how to use this thing now01:42
* Walzmyn slaps his forehead01:43
ign0ramusWalzmyn, sorry to step in like that, i didn't see your answer01:43

Serpardumkate keeps crashing when I close it.  any idea why?01:52
fbvortexAdmiral_Chicago, and anyone else who wouldn't mind taking a crack at getting xorg to properly come up on an i945 system: http://pastebin.com/d4736b19701:53
fbvortexAdmiral_Chicago, that is when I tried to use "safe" mode (I guess VESA)01:53
Admiral_Chicagofbvortex: does sudo lshw show you have a VESA card?01:55
fbvortexAdmiral_Chicago, it doesn't specifically say anything about VESA in the lshw output, but the Xorg.0.log seems to find the VESA BIOS extension.  Let me try the default boot again and post that log -- it does correctly detect the intel driver if I don't try to do "safe" mode, but I still don't get a display.01:59
Serpardumevery time I close kate I get an error: "A Fatal Error Occurred... Kate (kate) crashed... signal 11..."  Anyone know the cause?02:00

Taggnostrhello02:10
fbvortexAdmiral_Chicago, http://pastebin.com/d1e707a3202:11
TaggnostrI accidentally removed the application panel (the one on the bottom where all the applications are listed, just that part, I still have the tray the clock and so on), how can I have it back? I'm using kde402:11
fbvortexAdmiral_Chicago, seems like it detects the video modes and screen resolution correctly, but it's stuck on a black screen.02:12
Admiral_ChicagoTaggnostr: go to plasma, hit add...application panel iirc.02:12
Admiral_Chicagoright click on the desktop02:12
Admiral_Chicagolet me look fbvortex02:12
Taggnostrok, thanks02:14
Admiral_ChicagoI ask because Xorg may detect VESA as your driver but you may need a different one...02:15
Admiral_Chicagohave you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?02:15
fbvortexAdmiral_Chicago, no, but what other driver would I try?  the intel driver would be the right one...02:20
fbvortexAdmiral_Chicago, what's the correct way to use  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?  It wants an action option...02:22
Admiral_Chicagofbvortex: let me check.02:23
Admiral_Chicagoaction option?02:24
Admiral_Chicagowhat does the line read?02:24
barrettjoin #xbins02:25
barrett!join #xbins02:25
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about join #xbins02:25
fbvortexAdmiral_Chicago, I missed the hyphen between dpkg and reconfigure.  Telling it not to use the framebuffer apparently worked.  I had to manually kill the "X" process and tried startx, but at least now I'm getting a graphical screen.02:32
fbvortexAdmiral_Chicago, thanks, that did the trick.02:32
fbvortexAdmiral_Chicago, (the dkpg-reconfigure, that is)02:32

_polto__hello all07:07
_polto__I installed a Kubuntu 9.04 on a eeeBox B202. Everything work, but just moving the mouse hit 100% CPU usage, high network traffic also kill the CPU.07:07
_polto__some ideas ?07:07
=== _polto__ is now known as _polto___
alakhiause top to find which process is consuming cpu07:10
xjjkpresumably it's X11 and the kernel07:10
_polto___X1107:10
xjjkrather than any specific process07:10
xjjk_polto___: for the former, are you using desktop effects? try turning them off?07:10
xjjkfor the latter, I have *no* idea07:10
_polto___then I ping flood on my LAN, it's ping programm that use 100% CPU.07:11
xjjk"ping flood"?07:11
_polto___xjjk, I'll try to turn off everything07:11
_polto___ping -f 192.168.0.907:11
xjjk_polto___: sorry, what's a ping flood07:11
xjjk_polto___: hrm07:12
xjjk_polto___: for a second there, thought a ping flood involved executing the ping command many times07:12
xjjkdoing a lot of forking07:13
_polto___xjjk, I will not flood here :) look man ping and search -f07:13
xjjk_polto___: yah, I read it07:13
_polto___no, ping run only once07:13
xjjkright, it's not clear why you'd get high CPU usage with that07:13
xjjk_polto___: did desktop effects do anything?07:13
_polto___I suspect interrupts are not well managed.07:14
xjjkAFAIK the eeebox uses a newer Intel GPU that isn't well supported by OSS drivers07:14
xjjkpossibly07:14
xjjkthat's on top of the bad support of Intel graphics in Jaunty in the first place07:14
_polto___ok, how can I see that it's interrupt related and possibly find and repair the problem ?07:15
xjjk_polto___: it's been a while since I've done that kind of diagnosis, don't recall off the top of my head... one of the files in proc AFAIK07:15
_polto___xjjk, up to here I follow.. :)07:16
xjjk_polto___: try watching /proc/interrupts and see if anything is increasing ridiculously fast07:16
_polto___but then ... ?07:16
xjjkthat's probably not helpful07:16
_polto___they do07:16
_polto___and what is Int 2300?07:18
_polto___how can it be so high ?07:18
xjjkI don't have the expertise to help you =/07:19
_polto___Experts! wake up :)07:19
xjjk_polto___: you may want to try #kernel-newbies or one of the other Linux kernel channels07:19
_polto___good idea07:19
xjjkthey may have seen the problem before, and/or direct you to more info/where to ask for better help07:19

faileasor an older model? there's a zen specific media manager called gnomad212:10
Mamarokfaileas: it's not me who has a Zen :)12:11
faileasahh12:11
* faileas used to have one, and i got it sorta working on linux ;p12:12
MamarokGuest66730: if it has an USB port you can mount it as a simple USB device12:12
faileasi currently have an ipod, but thats cause its got a lot more space than anything else on the market12:12
Mamarokand use it through the "Files" tab in Amarok212:12
faileasMamarok: incorrect. Depends on the model, but most hard drive based models, and larger flash based models use MTP or some other propetary protocol12:13
Mamarokfaileas: I said "if"...12:13
faileasMamarok: even if it has a USB port, it may not have mass storage support12:14
Mamarokfaileas: didn't know that, but I never owned such a device12:23
faileasMamarok: ;)12:23
Mamarokfaileas: anyway, we have a GSoC student who works on this now so it should be mostly solved at the end of the summer12:24

wissami lost my system tray how can i got it again???12:27
Mamarokwissam: only the tray, not the panel?12:28
Mamarokwissam: which Kubuntu do you have?12:28

wissamyes12:32
Mamarokwissam: you should not run 9.10 in a productive system, you know that, do you? and there is no support for it here, discussion about Karmic is in #ubuntu+112:33
wissamoh really?12:33
wissami didnt know12:33
wissami have some broblems with it12:33
Mamarokwissam: Alpha is never for productive systems...12:33
wissami cant run a vmware for example12:33
Mamarokwissam: please take this discussion to #ubuntu+112:34
faileaswissam: vmware kernel support tends to lag behind. Generally you can't expect it to work on a newly released release, let alone a alpha12:34
Mamarokwissam: and this should not astonish you, it's early development, so things break a lot12:34
Mamarokanywa<y, folks, Karmic discussions belong to #ubuntu+1, please respect that12:35

alarmia32libs , nspluginwrapper , what are all those things that need to be installed ?17:58
andreelysthe video card is VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M800/K8N800/K8N800A[S3 UniChrome Pro] (rev 01)17:59
Mamarokalarm: libraries17:59
alarmi need so many things just for a .so to work ?17:59
sheytan_Mamarok: is gf 7600 i guess ( it's my freind computer so i'm not sure), and i think that it should works?18:00
tsimpsonalarm: .so is a shared library (DLL), it has things it depends on18:00
Mamaroksheytan_: well, not with the desktop effects I fear18:00
Mamarokalarm: seriousley, I don't know, wait, I'll check the dependencies18:00
alarmhold on a second18:01
sheytan_Mamarok: the desktop effects are disabled by default, so they're not running18:01
alarmwhy should this then work18:01
alarmwget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz && tar xvfz libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz18:01

alarmno libraries...18:01
Mamarokalarm: it did install those for me too, so I guess yes18:01
alarmthen why do u tell me about the repo plugin ?18:02
alarmdont get it18:02
Mamaroksheytan_: then something else is wrong, but usually if the live CD doesn't work, then the intsll will not work neither18:02
PetiMamarok: yes, from the repos. I'm a newbie when it comes to Linux, so I just typed in nvidia, downloaded and installed a graphics card analyzer, and then installed what it recommended. The OS immediately froze then, I had to force shut it down, and kept on freezing 5-15 minutes after logging in.18:02
tsimpsonalarm: because the package pulls in the 32bit plugin, as the 64bit one has stability issues18:03
Mamarokalarm: check what the nspluginwrapper is, you will see18:03
sheytan_Mamarok: my friend just want to test kubuntu, so i tell her to try the live cd mode. For me it works well. Can it be that the iso did burn wrong?18:03
Mamaroksheytan_: no, if it works on your PC then the ISO is ok, I guess it's his graphics card that has no driver, I wouldn't install it on that PC18:04
Mamaroks/his/her18:04
sheytan_Mamarok: it's other iso then my18:05
MamarokPeti: you are alway better off with the drivers that come with the distribution, at least those are tested18:05
Mamaroksheytan_: then check with your CD, you will know then18:05
PetiMamarok: I don't think those installed with my graphics card, the screen was very sluggish until after I installed one from the repo. Is there a way I can uninstall the repo one and install the distribution one?18:06
sheytan_she lives about 20 km far from me, so it's not so simple. but i'll tell her to download another one and burn it again with slower speed18:06
MamarokPeti: the repositories you have ar those of Kubuntu, hence the distribution, and those are tested to work18:07
MamarokPeti: usually the correct driver is installed by default18:07
* Mamarok needs to restart her konsole, can't read my screen anymore, bbl18:08
Mamarokoh, it's gone :)18:08
PetiMamarok: hmm...should I try reinstalling the whole OS? The first time I installed I didn't have internet, so maybe it couldn't update?18:09
MamarokPeti: define what is the distribution package for you please, I think there is some confusion here18:09
MamarokPeti: also no, this is not windows, you do not have to do fresh installs because one thing is sloppy :)18:10
PetiMamarok: at first I thought the distribution package was straight from the CD, but now I'm not so sure18:10
PetiMamarok: Great! :D18:10
jmhohi, I've got font problems with kubuntu 9.10 alpha, is here the right place to ask?18:11

MamarokPeti: what version is it then? If you are using 9.04 it should be the Nvidia 180 driver18:15
hggHow do I check if I have any>18:15
Tm_Thgg: first off, how it is slower?18:15
Mamarokhgg: no, usually not, slow down can have different reasons18:15

MamarokFernandoLB: ye, but its only recommended for really experienced users, there are some dependency problems18:21
Mamarokhgg: are you installing something?18:22
Mamarokhgg: synaptic should not run default, only if you are installing something18:22
hggi was just downloading clamav because of the slowdown18:22
Mamarokhgg: we already told you, there is no virus, I use Linux since +10 years and have never senn a virus18:23
Mamarokhgg: also, Kubuntu is by default a secure system, the problem is elsewhere18:23

hggoh ok .. sorry18:24
MamarokFernandoLB: well, if one knows how to look for the packages that are missing and on how to use dpkg -i --force-overwrite if there are conflicts, you can give it a try18:25

ToreadorVampireHey all ... random question about an Ubuntu problem I've bee having for a while - and even had in Hardy ... in both Hardy and Jaunty I have ended up solving it the same way (abandon the package manger, install the software myself) ... but what's the deal with bugfixes in repository software?18:30
ToreadorVampire... in this exact situation - the repository software was the nvidia GPU driver - both back when I was using Hardy and now I've started using Jaunty - the first thing I did was to install the repository version of the driver ...18:30
MamarokToreadorVampire: security fixes are sent to the security repository, new versions to backports, everything else in the default repositories18:31
FernandoLBWhat is the difference between flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree ?18:31
Mamarokso if there is a bugfix available for your version, you will get an update notfication18:31
MamarokFernandoLB: one is a transitional package, the current is the flashplugin-intaller18:31
FernandoLBMamarok: Do you mean, just the name change ?18:32
ToreadorVampire... in both cases the repository version had bugs which affected me, and whilst nvidia had released a bugfixed version of the driver a long time ago, there was nothing new in the repos, no update notification etc18:32
MamarokFernandoLB: no, one is used for transition to the new package18:32
FernandoLB:)18:32
ToreadorVampireAnd as said - in both situations I ended up just uninstalling the repos drivers and manually installing the ones I got straight from the nvidia website (credit to nvidia, they make their installers very easy to use)18:33
MamarokToreadorVampire: it's a matter of manpower and people available to do the package backports18:34
ToreadorVampireBut - whilst at first I thought "great!, repository-based software installation", it's uncovered a bit of a weakness that I rely on the ubuntu people to make the updated stuff available18:34
MamarokToreadorVampire: if you know how to make deb packages, you are welcome to jump on board and give a hand18:35
ToreadorVampireMamarok> Sadly, I don't18:35
MamarokToreadorVampire: well, then you will either have to wait or installe by yourself, sorry, we cannot acheive miracles18:35
ToreadorVampireI know nothing about Linux packaging ... I'm a developer, but not a desktop app developer, I do web apps (and in C#/mono)18:35
* ToreadorVampire cowers from the inevitible "eww!"18:35
Mamarokthere is a testing and Q&A policy for packages that have to be respected18:35
petikeHi, I checked and yes the Nvidia driver is 18018:36
MamarokToreadorVampire: you are always free to do what you want, just do not complain about free services :)18:36
petikeI just deactivated both the graphics and wireless drivers...I assume I have to reboot?18:36
Mamarokpetike: no, just run jockey for the Nvidia driver18:37
ToreadorVampireMamarok> No, of course ... I'm not /really/ complaining - I was kind of waiting for someone to say:  "Hey, didn't you hear about [XXX repository I hadn't heard of before]"18:38
tdnAfter upgrading to Kubuntu 9.04, ny disk keeps spinning down, when I am not using it. Even when I'm on AC Power. This is very annoying and probably damaging my disk. How do I make it stop?18:39
petikeOk, I'll be right back. Need to reboot to activate it.18:40
Mamaroktdn: why would this dammage your disk? You have a power management where you can configure your power saving18:41
petikeRestarted...here's hoping that fixes the freezing problem.18:43
ToreadorVampirepetike> Freezing problem?18:44
ToreadorVampireI think I missed your problem description - what was it?18:44
ToreadorVampireBecause I saw you mention nvidia drivers and I was just having some serious problems with nvidia drivers, which I solved by just ditching the repository-installed driver and installing 185.18.14 from nvidia's FTP18:45
ToreadorVampireOr was it 183.18.14 ?18:45
ToreadorVampireNo, no, 185.18.14 is the one I just installed18:46
ToreadorVampireMamarok> could you PM me petike's problem description please?18:46
ToreadorVampireMamarok> Coz he mentioned he had a "freezing problem" and also nvidia driver version 180 (from kubuntu repos) - the exact problem I was having with driver version 180 is that it kept locking up on my and hanging my x server18:47
ToreadorVampireAh, petike is back!18:47
petikeApparently not, removing the graphics driver again. Maybe that does something...18:47
petikeAny other ideas?18:47
Mamarokpetike: check with ToreadorVampire please, he seems to have had a similar problem18:48
ToreadorVampirepetike> What is your problem?  I think I missed when you originally stated it (I came in too late)18:48
petikeToreadorVampire: I just installed Kubuntu and was planning on switching over from Windows 7. Problem is, after I installed the Nvidia graphics driver (version 180), Kubuntu randomly freezes. Used to let me on 5-10 minutes before doing so, this last time it was around 3. So now I removed the driver and hope that that will solve it...but I would like to install it again, preferably without...18:50
petike...having the freezing problem18:50
ToreadorVampirepetike> Yeah - it sounds very much like the problem I had ... I went and spoke to the nvidia dudes about it and their suggestion (which has worked great for me so far) was to remove the ubuntu/repository-installed nvidia driver and manually install the latest nvidia driver from their website18:51
ToreadorVampireBut hang on - will give you more info ...18:51
Mamaroktdn: did you check your power management in systemsettings ->Desktop and systemsettings -> advanced tab -> Power management?18:52
petikeToreadorVampire: problem is, I'm a newbie at all things Linux. Only thing I can do is follow directions to type in commands in the terminal and install from the repositories. :P Never figured out how to install manually.18:52
ToreadorVampirepetike> That's fine ... credit to the nvidia guys they made it VERY easy to manually install their drivers ... VERY VERY easy :)18:53
petikeToreadorVampire: That's great! :D18:53
ToreadorVampireStep 1) ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/185.18.14/ and take a copy of the file that ends in pkg1.run18:53
ToreadorVampirepetike> Save that somewhere you can find it like on your desktop18:54
petikeToreadorVampire: package 0 or 1?18:54
ToreadorVampirepackage 1 (the bigger one)18:54
ToreadorVampireStep 2)  grab a writing implement and something to write on, because I'l have to tell you a command that you're going to need to execute in a pure-console environment ...18:56
ToreadorVampirepetike> That command is:  sudo sh Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.14-pkg1.run18:56
ToreadorVampireDamn, he left18:57
ToreadorVampireProbably lost his xserver again18:57
* ToreadorVampire pastebins the instructions18:57
petikeSo apparently removing the driver didn't help, I just froze again.18:58
ToreadorVampireNo, I know, you need to replace it with a new driver version18:58
ToreadorVampireI'm going to write all of those instructions on a website so that you can refer to them/write them down and not need to worry if your xserver hangs again18:59
petikeToreadorVampire: Alrighty, its on my desktop. Saved :)18:59
petikeToreadorVampire: Thanks!18:59
ToreadorVampireOK - did the download complete before your xserver hung?18:59
petikeno, I just redownloaded18:59
ToreadorVampireCoz if you have a broken download you could be in trouble ;)18:59
ToreadorVampireOK,  cool18:59
alarmhello again. why when i copy from/to a windows partition the transfer rate is SOOOO slow ? meaning of 2-3mb/s ?19:03
alarmmy internet connection is faster than my HDs or what ? :P19:03
Mamarokalarm: because of the unwillingness of Microsoft to open up specifications for ntfs share completely19:04
alarmis that for sure ? cause i cant remember on prior versions of debian something like that19:05
alarmi can remember of rates like 15-30mb/s19:05
alarmbut seeing files being copied sometimes with just kilobytes doesnt sound normal to me19:06
Mamarokalarm: a line is always as fast as it's weakest point, so if there are speed problems on the other side19:06
ToreadorVampirehttp://pastebin.com/m499a6ccb « petike - here you go - here are the full instructions (I rambled a bit, so they look longer than they are)19:06
alarmwhat kind of line ?19:06
alarmdont get you19:06
ToreadorVampirepetike> You might want to write steps 5 and 6 down or print them or something, because at that point you won't be able to get into irc to ask more questions19:07
Mamarokalarm: ok, you talk of a local HD? how is it mounted then?19:07
alarmsata19:07
alarmmounted as ntfs19:07
petikeToreadorVampire: Thanks a ton man, I'll let you know how it went in a bit. :)19:07
ToreadorVampire:)19:07
ToreadorVampireHopefully that will work for you as well as it did for me :)19:08
* ToreadorVampire is just happy now he has compiz performing well on Jaunty :)19:08
petikeI ran that command from Step 2, and it came back with an error saying I'm running x86_64 while the file is for x86. Is that ok?19:09
ToreadorVampireOh19:09
Mamarokalarm: then I don't know, that should not be much of a problem, as you are copying from ntfs19:09
ToreadorVampireNo, sorry - didn't think that you might be running 64 bit19:09
ToreadorVampireSorry19:09
petikeIts all cool19:10
ToreadorVampirepetike> I can direct you to a different file to download19:10
* Mamarok calls it a day, exhausted19:10
alarmokie19:10
petikeToreadorVampire: that'd be great.19:10
ToreadorVampireftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/185.18.1419:10
ToreadorVampirepetike> That's the 64-bit download location19:10
petikeToreadorVampire: I didn't know I was running 64 bit either, windows said its 32. :)19:10
ToreadorVampireOn that one ... try package2:  "pkg2.run"19:11
petikeOk, downloading19:11
ToreadorVampireHmm, well - I'd think that the nvidia driver installer wouldn't be wrong ...19:11
draikIs there an app for KDE that helps get a good syntax view for scripting? KATE is ok, but it doesn't show me if I forgot to close a tag or something along those lines.19:12
ToreadorVampireBut of course, try step 2 with that one and hopefully it will confirm that it's the right one19:12
petikeWill do19:12
ToreadorVampiredraik> Have you tried XML[DEBUG]19:12
ToreadorVampire?19:12
ToreadorVampireI mean - the XML DEBUG syntax highlighting option in kate?19:12
draikToreadorVampire: No. I've only used F11 for showing the line count.19:13
ToreadorVampiredraik> What are you writing?  HTML?  XHTML?  (you mentioned 'tag')  Or some other markup language?19:13
draikToreadorVampire: Sorry, I'm used to HTML so I'm still calling it tags, but I'm writing bash scripts. It's marked for bash scripting, but it won't tell me if I don't have something closed, such as my 'if/fi' and 'case/esac' statements.19:15
tdnMamarok, there is nothing about disk spin down in systemsettings ->Desktop and systemsettings -> advanced tab -> Power management?19:18
petikeGoing on to step 4, I'll be back in a bit19:18
ToreadorVampiredraik> Ah ... well ... the only thing I have for that is watching the code-folding markers (F9)19:19
eagles0513875i swear jaunty hates my laptop and my desktop chipset at least the network manager widget is there still the newer version that is in kubuntu-experimental19:20
=== matteo_ is now known as illusion
ToreadorVampiredraik> Or - just try executing the script?19:25
draikToreadorVampire: It's for my server and I have to FTP then SSH. Bit of a pain to just find out I missed a ;; or closer.19:26
draikYes, I have code-folding markers enabled as well19:26
ToreadorVampireWhich ... brings up an interesting question - does anybody know of a good "bash script sandboxing" environment/application?  Often when we write scripts the only way to really test them is to execute them ... now if it's a script that deals in complex stuff, or it's being executed as root, a runaway script with mistakes could really trash a whole machine ...19:27
ToreadorVampire... does anybody know of a good debugging environment that prevents that?  Something that prevents a script from doing things, and instead echos out "what it would have done"19:27
ToreadorVampireLike:  Script requested to remove directory "FOO" recursively ... Script output 4 lines of text to file "BAR" ...19:28
ToreadorVampireBut prevents it from actually doing those things, so that in the case of a runaway script you don't do a load of damage19:29
Mamaroktdn: your disk spins down because your power management settings are wrong, you probably ask your system to resume to disk within a few minutes or so, go check those settings.19:34
Mamaroktdn: also, it would be nice to stay here when you ask a question, so we could handle this immediately, not just paste a question then diaapear for several hours19:35
Mamarokeagles0513875: there is no swearing here, please!19:35
eagles0513875i know im just using it s a figure of speech19:35
Mamarokeagles0513875: don't, you know the rules!19:36
eagles0513875what im trying to figure out on clean installs of jaunty wifi would work outa the box with the b43-fwcutter and now it wont connect at all to my ap19:36
eagles0513875i do19:36
eagles0513875and now the wired is working outa the box by default on jaunty and on my desktop it doesnt19:36
petikeToreadorVampire: So I'm having some problems, after Step 5 it tells me I need to be in root. How do I switch to root? When I tried rebooting to login as root, it wouldn't accept the password.19:36
ToreadorVampireNo, that's fine19:37
ToreadorVampireDid you prefix the command with "sudo"19:37
ToreadorVampire?19:37
Mamarokok, off for tonight19:37
ToreadorVampirePrefixing a command with sudo tells ubuntu to "become root for this one command, then relinquish root privileges"19:37
ToreadorVampireWhen you use sudo it prompts you for a password, but that is just "your normal user password again" (as a confirmation)19:38
ToreadorVampireI may have missed it from the instructions :s if I did - sorry19:38
petikeThis is what I typed in: sh ~/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run19:38

DanDantdn thnx :) ... do u happen to know anything about fixing / removing a broken package !!? that seems to be too stubborn to even get reinstalled :@20:35

FuriousGeorgehey all20:57
ToreadorVampireHmm, here's a question then ...20:57
FuriousGeorgeim reading that i need to use the hpijs driver for this printer (hp 7300) but where the heck am i supposed to select that driver?20:57
FuriousGeorgei have hpijs installed on the server20:58
ToreadorVampireCan two linux installations share the same swap partition (assuming of course only one of the two is booted at once)?20:58
ToreadorVampireAnd assuming I don't do something stupid and hibernate one then try to boot into the other20:58
ToreadorVampire(I accept that that would invariably be a dumb thing to do if they were sharing the same swap partition)20:58
ToreadorVampireBut otherwise could it be done?  That might make things better, because then I could keep the OS on the USB flash drive and the swap on a real HDD which would be a bit faster21:00

tdnToreadorVampire, you could adjust the swappiness so that the kernel will rarely swap programs out.21:09
ToreadorVampiretdn>  Oh?21:09
tdnToreadorVampire, google > linux swapiness21:09
ToreadorVampireI had just started making preparations for that "move my swap partition to the existing swap partition on my HDD" idea21:09

pedrinhobritowhy network manager isn't attemping to connect to my network?21:10
tdnToreadorVampire, which usb device are you using? I thought flash memory was fast enough for swap. Maybe try with a faster flash device?21:11
ToreadorVampiretdn> Well, it's fast *enough* but when I'm doing something like installing package updates it really starts to chug21:11
DanDantdn .. can you plz check this output for me n tell me whats missing or what went wrong :S ... http://thomasdamgaard.dk/paste/P1320.html21:11
ToreadorVampireAnd since I have a HDD in this laptop with a swap partition that's not being used (well, not being used if I'm booted into Jaunty) then it seem a waste not to use it21:12
tdnDanDan, 21:52 < tdn> DanDan, could you please paste all of the terminal text instead of just the last few lines of output? I would very much like to see all of it. Including the commands you wrote.21:13
ToreadorVampireWell, here goes nothing - have moved my swap partition to my HDD, now to reboot and try it out21:13
tdnToreadorVampire, good luck.21:13
DanDantdn this it from the beginning http://thomasdamgaard.dk/paste/P1321.html21:14
pedrinhobritotdn, have you ever seen this? my network manager won't connect to any network. i've tried at work, at home, at school... is there any command i could run on terminal to connect to my network?21:14
tdnDanDan, I asked you to paste all the text in the terminal.21:16
tdnDanDan, there is clearly more text than what you pasted. I cannot see how it terminates.21:16
tdnGotta go now.21:16

MacTutshi i have a quick question (not even kubuntu just general linux)21:44

MacTutsdo KDE applications work in GNOME?21:45
chaos2fuokey, have u installed the prop.driver?21:46

Captain_Haddockchaos2fu: ah!21:48
Captain_HaddockI kept looking in system settings :S21:49
chaos2fuis ah! similar to yyeess i found it...?;-)21:49
Captain_Haddockyes indeed! :D21:49
Captain_Haddockthanks muchly - installing now :)21:49
chaos2fui have recently installed kubuntu on my laptop with a integrate geforce 7600...21:49
chaos2fui downloaded all the system updates and then the prop. driver..21:50
Captain_HaddockThere's a hardware menu in system settings -> advanced which is very misleading :/21:50
chaos2futhen you should be able to configure your resolution21:50
chaos2fuhehe yeah i know..21:50
WalzmynCaptain_Haddock: one is KDE one is Ubuntu21:51
chaos2fuand to save your configuration (resolution, multiple screens and so on...) u have to launch it with gksudo..21:51
Captain_HaddockWalzmyn: I see. A note in the KDE one might have helped :|21:53
Captain_Haddockchaos2fu: gotcha, thanks21:53
chaos2fuyoure welcome21:53
puffandstuffhello21:53
Captain_Haddock"Downloading and installing" at 0% for the last 3 minutes21:54
WalzmynCaptain_Haddock: the KDE hardware tab is setting KDE options for the hardware. The Ubuntu hardware option is downloading drivers. It's confusing when yer starting out21:54
puffandstuffi've just installed Kdevelop 3.9.91 on xubuntu 9.04 and it only allows creation of QT based projects, it's no more possible to create an autotool based project21:54
Captain_HaddockWalzmyn: It'd have been nice if the Ubuntu one was embedded in system settings not unlike the new package manager etc.21:55
puffandstuffdid i miss something during my install or it is normal ?21:55
puffandstuffplease21:55
Num83rGuyMacTuts: yes21:55
WalzmynCaptain_Haddock: well, see, it's the same thing that's in the gnome flavor and the XFCE flavor. I agree with ya, but it'd be extra effort to do it just for KDE21:56
Captain_Haddockpuffandstuff: package managers usually have a list of recommended packages.. perhaps have a look through them to see if you're missing something21:56
ToreadorVampireHere's an interesting question ...21:57
Captain_HaddockWalzmyn: I see. I guess that makes sense. Ain't terribly userfriendly though.21:58
cyberaloww smuanya21:58
cybergood morning21:58
ToreadorVampireSay I have an application I want to run and I know the name of the application, but I don't know which package would install it - is there a way to quickly (from the commandline) determine which packages I want?21:58
Captain_HaddockThings change too much from version to version in Kubuntu and other distros as well I guess21:58
puffandstuffCaptain_Haddock, It's not my forst time installing it, but the first time having this behaviour. I have kdevplatform  kdevplatform1-libs kdevplatform-data kdevplatform-data-kde4 kdevelop-kde421:58
cyberhellow21:58
ToreadorVampireI tried apt-cache search but (in this case) I have several options to choose from, and really I was left to guess21:59
Walzmyncyber: sudo apt-cache search [title]21:59
Walzmynooops, that was supposed to be to ToreadorVampire21:59
Captain_HaddockToreadorVampire: apt-cache search "title" | grep "refinement"21:59
Captain_Haddockor something like that21:59
ToreadorVampireWalzmyn> Yeah, I tried that - but in this case those search results left me still guessing21:59
ToreadorVampireHere's the example I was working on ...22:00
ToreadorVampire... I know I want /sbin/mount.cifs22:00
WalzmynToreadorVampire: well, then your over my head :)22:00
ToreadorVampireI know that's the application binary/script/whatever that I want22:00
ToreadorVampireBut apt-cache search cifs shows a whole slew of smb-related packages, and even if I eliminate the libs and other "obviously not it" ones, I still don't have a definitive answer22:01
ToreadorVampireWhat I guess I want is apt-cache which-package-installs /sbin/mount.cifs22:01
ToreadorVampire(btw I found the answer in the end by trial and error - it was smbfs - but I had to try a couple of packages first before I found it)22:01
Captain_HaddockToreadorVampire: "apt-file is a command line tool for searching files contained in packages for the APT packaging system. You can search in which package a file is included or list the contents of a package without installing or fetching it."22:06
Captain_HaddockThere are a bunch of other utilities for apt which might be of use22:07
ToreadorVampireHmm, apt-file eh?22:07
Captain_Haddockjockey decided to activate a driver without actually installing it :/22:08
