Shane_FaganEmpathy isnt too bad01:10
RAOFThere are some nice adium themes.01:11
RAOF*which work in empathy.01:11
Shane_FaganThe UI on empathy is awesome01:12
Shane_Fagancompared to pidgin01:12
BUGabundoI don't think so01:16
BUGabundobut its one of those things01:16
BUGabundoeither you like or you don't01:16
iconicitydoes empathy do IRC well ... or at all?01:16
BUGabundoiconicity: yes01:17
iconicitythat's great ... I hate the way Pidgin hadnles IRC01:18
BUGabundoerr01:18
BUGabundoiconicity: it's the *same+01:18
BUGabundoAFAIK it uses Libpurple to do it! lol01:18
iconicityha!  oh, great!01:18
Shane_FaganIm using empathy now01:19
iconicitywell, hopefully it's the the UI that bothers me, then01:19
iconicityand if that's better in empathy, I'll be happy01:19
Shane_Faganiconicity: It is a lot better, but it isnt that good with the notifications and its really buggy at the moment01:22
iconicityI'm sure the bugs will be ironed out by release time ... Why was Pidgin bumped as the default client?01:23
Shane_FaganBecause it doesnt have support for video and voice calls01:23
iconicityah01:23
iconicitygotcha01:23
Shane_Faganplus ekiga was bumped too01:23
iconicityhow come?01:24
iconicitybecuase one app can do both?01:24
Shane_FaganBecause empathy has ekiga built in01:25
RAOFA number of reasons.  Empathy has voice+video, SIP (so can replace ekiga to some extent).  Empathy is getting cool new features (geolocation, once the needed libraries hit main).  Empathy is better integrated into the GNOME infrastructure.  Pidgin upstream is apparently not the niceset to work with.  And because Empathy is becoming the official GNOME IM client.01:25
iconicityRAOF: thanks!  Looking forward to giving it a try01:26
Shane_FaganYou need to install all the telephony plugins to make all the functionality work01:27
BUGabundoRAOF: cough cough (niceset to work with)01:27
BUGabundo:)01:28
RAOFEh.  Spelling is for the week! :P01:28
iconicity:)01:28
Shane_FaganRAOF: empathy is already the default gnome client01:29
RAOFBut that's new in 2.28, isn't it?  Or was it 2.26?01:29
RAOFAnyway, that's one of the reasons that it came to prominence.01:30
Shane_Fagan2.2601:30
BUGabundo2.2601:30
Shane_Fagan2.28 its the default01:30
iconicityspeaking of defaults ... should I be worried about ext4?01:32
Shane_FaganWell maybe this early in the release01:32
Shane_FaganId say alpha 4 it should be perfect01:33
Shane_Faganalmost01:33
Shane_FaganIts a lot faster a boot time01:33
iconicity-- and that blows my mind, since jaunty already boots so quickly in ext301:33
Shane_Faganthey are aiming at 10 secs boot01:34
iconicityawesome.01:35
BUGabundoyep01:35
BUGabundoand some users are already hitting it01:35
iconicitywow01:36
iconicitythat's goign to be great01:36
iconicityhave they released the new theme yet?01:38
BrunoXLambertI've tried to install the daily build yesterday, and the installer never wanted to start01:38
Shane_FaganNo new theme yet :(01:38
Shane_FaganI really want to get rid of the brown01:39
iconicityAh! But I love the brown and orange!  I must be one of the lonely few ...01:39
Shane_FaganWell sabdl loves it too01:40
* BUGabundo $ sleep in 3,2,1, errrr. No Device Found01:40
iconicityI'm sure some combination of brown and orange will make its way into karmic ... these are ubuntu's token colors, after all01:43
=== WelshDragon is now known as YDdraigGoch
Shane_Faganwell no matter what when Gnome 3.0 hits brown will be gone too01:44
iconicitydang01:44
iconicityoh well01:44
Shane_FaganGnome-Shell rocks the red hat guys are doing an awesome job01:44
iconicityI'll get used to it01:44
Shane_FaganThey are planning to have a preview of gnome 3.0 in karmic01:45
iconicitywhat do you mean by "preview"01:47
Shane_FaganWell they are adding it to the repo01:47
iconicityah, gotcha01:49

iconicityalright, gotta run.  thanks for the cool info, Shane01:49

rolandHi, I'm on karmic and with recent update sound stopped working. Is this a known problem or can I help to eliminate this bug?02:13

RAOF_billybigrigger: Any particular reason you don't simply use 2.6.30-10-generic?  Or wait until 2.6.31-1-generic has passed NEW?05:15
billybigriggerother than i just wanted to test it, no05:16
billybigriggeri think i installed the wrong deb.05:18
billybigriggeri think i should have installed the kernel headers05:18

SeveredCrossSeems like somewhere along the way, regular users lost the ability to access ALSA.05:31
billybigriggeri have05:31
SeveredCrossSince a root alsamixer works fine, non-root reports errors.05:31
billybigriggerrestarted that is, remember the rc kernel problem :P05:31

SeveredCrossPA reports errors.05:33
billybigriggerRAOF_::: so looking at the kernel ppa for the rc .31, i see headers, and source, and image, i don't need to install all the debs do it?05:33
billybigriggerand have i screwed myself over trying to install all of these? or in what order should i be doing this?05:33
RAOF_billybigrigger: You'd need image & headers.  But really, I wouldn't bother.  There'll be an official 2.6.31-1-generic package coming out of the NEW queue in the not too distant future, and you can actually file bugs against that!05:34

SeveredCrossRAOF: Add yourself to the audio group, things should magically begin to work.07:29
RAOFOh?07:29
RAOFRight.07:29
SeveredCross/dev/dsp and all the files under /dev/snd are mode 660, owner root, group audio.07:30
SeveredCrossBut I'm not in the audio group for some reason.07:30
SeveredCrossProbably a vagary of pulseaudio per-user sessions.07:30
RAOFNo; it'll be because ConsoleKit _should_ give the active user access to the sound card.07:34
SeveredCrossHmm.07:34
SeveredCrossTouche.07:34
SeveredCrossTemporary fix seems to be to add yourself to the audio group, until ConsoleKit gets fixed.07:36
SeveredCrossFixes alsamixer, PulseAudio, etc.07:36
RAOFRight.07:37
SeveredCrossI wonder who/what broke ConsoleKit.07:38
Ngremoval of udev-extras is right, right? :)07:39
SeveredCrossRAOF: ConsoleKit hasn't been touched in a while.07:39
SeveredCrossLast changelog is in April.07:39
SeveredCrossNg: Aye.07:39
RAOFSeveredCross: Might be policykit :)07:39
SeveredCrossI'm not seeing any PolicyKit changes relating to audio recently either.07:40
RAOFYou haven't by any chance installed polkit-1 and polkit-gnome-1 recently? :)07:42
RAOFSorry; policykit-107:42
SeveredCrossrI did.07:43
SeveredCrossI think anyway, it's installed.07:43
RAOFRight.  This may well be the source of breakage.  Just because the changelog doesn't mention "break audio for the active console", doesn't mean it didn't :)07:43
SeveredCrossTrue--looks like there were some user permissions changes.07:43
SeveredCrossOn a related note, anyone else find it interesting how more and more projects are standardizing on D-Bus rather than KCop (or whatever KDE's competing system is).07:44
RAOFNo one cares about KDE, that's why :).  Also, got freedesktop'd, and such.07:45
SeveredCrossAh, KDE4 adopted DBus instead of DCOP.07:45
SeveredCrossNot to mention that DBus is more portable, I don't think DCOP worked on OS X or Win32.07:46

ubuntu_Does the Koala have a known bug that blows away menu.lst on reboot?14:35
Hobbseeno?14:35
ubuntu_Damn it14:35
shane_faganI have to say no too14:35
shane_faganDid you delete it yourself14:35
shane_fagan?14:35
ubuntu_Whats going on then14:35
shane_faganDo you do something to it?14:36
ubuntu_shane_fagan: no I saw it do it. I rebooted and pressed e to show someone the syntax for a linux image14:36
ubuntu_I pressed enter and b and it said that it couldn't comply with --no-floppy14:36
ubuntu_I shrugged and choose another entry on the list and that also got wiped14:37
shane_faganhmmm the floppy problem is known but it shouldnt be that much of a probelm14:37
shane_faganproblem14:37
ubuntu_choose a recovery session and that gets wiped14:37
ubuntu_the only entry in the menu when you look at it is root (hd0,1)14:37
ubuntu_how do I get around the no floppy issue?14:37
hoellpubuntu_, i guess you did a "half-switch" to grub214:38
ubuntu_A half-switch ?14:38
hoellpubuntu_, you installed it to chainload grub1 -> grub214:38
hoellpand grub1 doesn't read the floppy entry14:38
ubuntu_I don't know but it's a brand new machine with nothing on the hard drive I formatted it and installed a daily CD from Friday14:39
ubuntu_how do I ensure that it's grub2 on it?14:39
ubuntu_well actualyl ... they may have had a bootloader on the drive the drive itself isn't new14:39
shane_faganOh so you didnt chainload then14:39
ubuntu_no there was nothing on the drive but that doesnt mean that it didn't have a bootloader14:40
hoellpok, then you probably just need to install some updates14:40
shane_faganAll the fresh installs have grub by default14:40
ubuntu_shane_fagan: grub2 ?14:40
shane_faganyep14:40
ubuntu_hoellp: Well when I installed yesterday I ran updates14:40
BluesKajubuntu_, restart your pc with the live cd and then navigate to this site and follow the instructions http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=22435114:40
ubuntu_Today the machine complains about floppy14:41
ubuntu_BluesKaj: \0/14:41
shane_faganhmmm can you get into recovery14:41
ubuntu_BluesKaj: You may have guessed I booted in to the Live CD already14:41
ubuntu_shane_fagan: No when I choose it it wipes the grub entry14:41
shane_faganOoh thats no good14:42
BluesKajwell then go there and you will restore grub14:42
hoellpand very strange behaviour14:42
hoellphmm14:42
hoellpbut what still bothers me, grub2 doesn't use "b" to boot anymore14:42
ubuntu_oh? what does that do?14:42
hoellpit's ctrl+x14:43
hoellpbut it states it clearly when you enter edit-mode14:43
ubuntu_ah right14:43
hoellpb usually just writes a b ;)14:43
shane_faganHmmm the only updates yesterday that I remember were for policykit, maybe that has something to do with it. I lost sound after the update yesterday because of that14:43
ubuntu_hoellp: yes but you would press b when you are not in edit mode14:43
hoellpy, i lost sound too14:43
shane_faganIts a permissions problem14:44
ubuntu_shane_fagan: keep in mind that it would be all updates from last week friday14:44
shane_faganThey are working on the fix14:44
ubuntu_Or thursday I would guess since that's when the CD was made14:44
shane_faganubuntu_: oh14:44
ubuntu_oh that's why I have no sound :) I thought that Ubuntu was just enjoying being the regression king14:44
hoellpubuntu_, can you chroot into the system?14:44
hoellpor is that too much?14:45
ubuntu_hoellp: yes14:45
ubuntu_I'm chrooted over there <-----14:45
ubuntu_tty114:45
hoellpcould you check if your really have grub2?14:45
shane_fagansudo addgroup username audio do this to restore the sound14:45
hoellpand just try grub-install /dev/sda?14:45
ubuntu_BluesKaj: That's a nice tutorial but doesn't work for grub214:45
shane_faganlog out afterwards14:45
hoellpshane_fagan, thx14:45
ubuntu_I get a grub-probe error14:46
hoellpsudo aptitude install grub-pc14:46
hoellpor reinstall if it is installed and dpkg-reconfigure it afterwards14:47
hoellpi still have a problem with my touchpad14:47
hoellpit configures ok with gpointing-device-settings14:47
BluesKajubuntu_, a lot of ppl use another pc to communicate in order fix probs so I usually assume this is the case ..anything on launchpad ?14:48
hoellpbut after a reboot the startingborder for circ scrolling is always reset14:48
hoellpgrub-pc is the package for grub214:48
hoellpdebconf suggests you install it to chainload, but you should probably install it all the way14:48
BluesKajdamn grub2 , what's the purpose , the old one worked just fine :(14:48
hoellpBluesKaj, y, as did unix...14:49
BluesKajnow we can't help those stuck in grub2 hell14:50
hoellpBluesKaj, still, if you use alpha it's kinda your own fault14:50
shane_faganIt has a lot more options14:50
hoellpand that's what we're here for, to prepare the transition14:50
BluesKajsame goes for that dumb packagekit14:50
shane_faganits just not configured right yet14:51
shane_faganIts a lot better than the alternative14:51
BluesKajhoellp, I'm not stuck with grub 2 hell, but I feel that it's unecessary14:51
hoellpBluesKaj, actually, that doesn't bother me much14:51
shane_fagansame here14:52
hoellpif that was reason enough to leave it as it was, there'd be no change at all14:52
Daskreechok the machine froze when I reconfigured grub-pc14:52
hoellpif you can't stand it, you're probably wrong in the market of IT14:52
shane_faganI think we have to update the software to the recent versions14:52
DaskreechBut I decided to use the entry that wasn't wiped and just remove the no-floppy and it booted :-D14:52
DaskreechThanks for the info14:53
BluesKajyeah , so how do you guys help those ppl who are asking , hoellp, shane_fagan ?14:53
hoellpDaskreech, that's a start14:53
hoellpBluesKaj, we try at least14:53
BluesKajtry what?14:53
hoellpto help...14:53
shane_faganTry to answer peoples questions14:53
BluesKajah nm, i already asked how14:54
hoellpDaskreech, could you check what grub packages are installed?14:54
shane_faganSure its change but that is what we have to do to stay up to date and include the best software available14:54
hoellpi upgraded this machine and the transition went from grub1 to grub2 went very well14:55
shane_faganSo although it may be a pain but they will be configured better closer to release14:55
hoellpno hickups or errors at all14:55
Daskreechhoellp: sure14:55
shane_faganWell chainloading shouldnt cause a hickup at all14:56

JamalFanaianHi, is anyone else having issues with the fglrx drivers? I can get them installed but they are not loading.15:46
JamalFanaianI am running Karmic alpha 2, and I have ran updates15:46
BluesKajhoellp, isuspect it's a generation gap thing ..Ive been using IRC for 11 yrs well, before any of these IMs had IRC access15:47
hoellpBluesKaj: i'm using irc for ~8 years myself, but always hated that i need a seperate program15:55
hoellpthough i still love irssi ;)15:55
JamalFanaianHm... am I really the only one having issues with fglrx? That's depressing :(16:04
hoellpjust nvidia ;)16:05
BluesKajhoellp, I like to use the tool that is designed for a specific task , not a swiss army knife approach.16:05
BluesKajJamalFanaian, which atri card16:05
BluesKajati16:06
JamalFanaianIt's an R435016:06
JamalFanaianIt worked fine when I installed Karmic the first time, but I screwed up something and decided to reinstall and it just won't work...16:07
JamalFanaianI'm guessing it's due to some updates to the kernel16:07
JamalFanaian(I think the updates to the 2.6.30 kernel happened in between but I'm not completely sure)16:07
hoellpBluesKaj: i get what you mean, but i guess for me communicating is the thing i wanna do, regardless of the protocol16:08
BluesKajJamalFanaian, my experience is that you have to purge the old driver first before upgrading to the new one.16:16
JamalFanaianBluesKaj, Will using apt-get remove --purge fglrx-* suffice?16:17
BluesKajno, you nedd the exact driver name16:18
BluesKajneed16:18
hoellpapt-get purge --purge ... purges everything16:18
hoellpand apt-get works with wildcards16:18
hoellpso it would be possible16:18
JamalFanaianhoellp, yeah which is why i did fglrix-*16:18
JamalFanaianBluesKaj, Are you referring to the xorg-driver-fglrx package?16:18
BluesKajwell, to be absolutely sure i would still use the drib=ver name as listed in a package manager16:19
BluesKajerr driver name16:19
JamalFanaianBluesKaj, You're confusing me a bit, how do I find that?16:20
JamalFanaianSorry I'm a bit behind when it comes to these things :\16:20
BluesKajlook in adept or packagekit or whatever package manager you use , fglrx will suffice to bring up the installed driver16:21
JamalFanaianBluesKaj, Oh ok, that's how I found that name so I guess that's it. Let me try that. :)16:21
hoellpJamalFanaian: which ui do you use?16:21
hoellpand can't you just use jockey?16:22
JamalFanaianhoellp, UI? I'm using gnome. Is that what you mean?16:23
JamalFanaianAnd what is jockey?16:23
hoellpyou find jockey under system hardware drivers16:23
JamalFanaianAh I used hardware drivers to first install the fglrx drivers. And I was using aptitude and dpkg from terminal to find out which packages were installed, and to purge them.16:24
PiciThe Hardware Drivers tool is jockey.16:24
hoellpcould you explain what the problem was in the first place?16:24
JamalFanaianPici, Oh! Ok, I didn't know it went by that name since I always used it by just going to System > Hardware Drivers16:25
JamalFanaianhoellp, Yeah, direct rendering wasn't working.. and jockey said that the driver was installed and not in use16:25
JamalFanaianI'm trying what BluesKaj recommended, by purging all my fglrx packages and will be reinstalling them in a few16:26
JamalFanaianBrb, I'm going to restart16:26
BluesKajdon't restart16:26
BluesKajuhoh16:26
hoellp...16:27
hoellphopefully the driver really wasn't in use ;)16:27
BluesKajoh well HAL will take care of business, i hope16:27
BluesKajgeneric16:27
BluesKajhe'll have crappy resolution , but one never knows now that Xorg is so depenendent on HAL16:28
hoellpactually i really like how it works now, it's much better than before16:28
PiciWell, its going away eventually.16:29
hoellphopefully X is going the same way sometime16:30
BluesKajlet's hope his card is supported , cuz that's not real popular ati card16:30

BluesKajno fglrxgears16:41
JamalFanaianBluesKaj, Isn't it glxgears?16:41
JamalFanaianBluesKaj, glxgears gives me an error if i try to open it16:42
BluesKajit used to be that xorg.conf was editable to add the 3d and DRI capablilty16:42
JamalFanaianOh ok sorry16:42
BluesKajno, for ati cards it's fglrxgears , but you have to install the app16:42
BluesKajweel either fglrx_gears or fglrx-gears16:44
BluesKajwhat does glxinfo give you , JamalFanaian ?16:46
JamalFanaianBluesKaj, http://pastebin.com/me2990b4 This is what I get16:48
BluesKajJamalFanaian, which command gives that output ?16:58
JamalFanaianBluesKaj, glxinfo16:58
JamalFanaianBluesKaj, well, any fglrx command for that matter16:59
JamalFanaianBluesKaj, glxgears, fglrxinfo also give me the same error16:59

BluesKajgood, so it sees the card17:00
BluesKajJamalFanaian, which package manager do you use again ?17:01
JamalFanaianBluesKaj, Well I installed the drivers using jockey. I purged them and reinstalled them using apt-get in the command line though.17:02
BluesKaji wanted to see which drivers would show up if you typed Radeon HD 4350 into the searchbar17:02
BluesKajof the package manager , like adept or synaptic17:03
JamalFanaianwell i have to admit, the fglrx drivers worked fine in jaunty17:03
JamalFanaianand they worked fine when i first used alpha 217:03
JamalFanaianbut i installed a daily build from a few days ago and that's when it stopped working17:03
BluesKajkarmic being in dev-stage one has to expect drivers to be not quite up to par , but ati is paricularly difficult on linux . That's why I bought a 2 yr old nvidia card GEForce 7600GT , cuz i got tired of struggling with my ati onboard .17:07
JamalFanaianBluesKaj, yeah you're right.. i'm not complaining as I understand I'm running an alpha distro right now17:09
JamalFanaianI just wanted to see if I could figure out how to fix it17:09
JamalFanaianI'll live without direct rendering for now and wait for updates17:09
BluesKajI think there's an ati chat nbut it's not (k)ubuntu specific17:10
BluesKajso which driver is installed , JamalFanaian ?17:11
JamalFanaianxorg-driver-fglrx is the name of the package17:12
JamalFanaianxorg-driver-fglrx_8.620-0ubuntu2_amd6417:12

Le-Chuck_ITAHi, can anybody connect to yahoo messenger today from karmic?20:30
Le-Chuck_ITAI know the protocol changed recently but karmic's pidgin had the issue addressed20:30
DanaGugh, Empathy sucks at IRC.20:31
instructor_Le-Chuck_ITA: might need to change the server it's trying then20:31
DanaGWhen nickserv or chanserv message you, it just sits there BLINKING the icon at you.20:31
MartinoTI have a problem with the last upgrade of xserver-xorg for koala, i wait the fix (hal 0.5.12+git20090626-0ubuntu2) others see it in the mirror, I'm not (by apt-get dist-upgrade)20:31
DanaGBLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK20:31
Le-Chuck_ITADanaG: I agree with you empathy sucks at irc :)20:32
DanaGAnd "manage favorites" has no ADD button.  And there's no support for /join.20:32
hoellphey20:33
DanaGheh, and it just crashed... and left a damaged problem report.20:34
Le-Chuck_ITADanaG: and when it crashes, be careful because sometimes the daemon remains connected to whatever network you were on20:34
Le-Chuck_ITAthey didn't want to mark this as a security problem though :)20:34
hoellpis there a way to get a working /etc/gdm somewhere?20:34
hggdhsum. Seems gksudo is broken on latest karmic20:35
hoellpgdm totally broke here...20:35
hoellpand, dumb as i am, i just deleted the folder instead of backing up20:35
DanaGsudo aptitude reinstall gdm20:35
hoellpand neither gdm nor apt makes a new one20:35
hggdhhoellp, reinstalling gdm should recover20:35
hoellpnope, doesnt do a thing20:35
Le-Chuck_ITAhoellp apt-get remove --purge gdm20:36
Le-Chuck_ITAand then reinstall??20:36
DanaGhmm, you could try switching to console, then sudo dpkg --force-depends --purge gdm20:36
DanaGthen reinstall it.20:36
hoellpthats my status, i purged20:36
DanaGYOu'll need force-depends, or it'll remove tons of other stuff.20:36
hoellpand installed slim, to be able to login20:36
DanaGoh, and ekiga.net won't log in.20:36
hoellpnope, its not too bad, it just deletes fusa as well20:37
DanaGand ubuntu-desktop.20:37
hoellpwhich doesnt remove the rest, like it did before20:37
hggdhgdm and x11-common use /etc/gdm20:38
hoellpstill, it doesnt create a /etc/gdm20:38
Le-Chuck_ITADanaG: exactly :) and empathy is supposed to be better than pidgin just for the video/audio thing20:38
hoellptrying something else, hopefully back in a min20:39

Le-Chuck_ITAhoellp if you want I can give you mine20:39
DanaGbad strings: "replace disk" "erase disk"20:40
DanaGon CD-RW.20:40
DanaGShould be "Eject", not "Replace"20:40
DanaGbecause "replace" implies... erase and overwrite.20:40
dupondjeis firefox 3.5 final now in repo's ?20:40
dupondje:)20:40
DanaGto me, at least.20:40
DanaGIs empathy supposed to be able to voice-chat over AIM?20:42
DanaGAnd where are the audio-device preferences in empathy?20:42
instructor_ok Should I bother and try to fix my audio :(20:43
DanaGoh, and you can't add contacts to IRC!20:44

hoellpthx nixternal...20:54
tormodyou can edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and replace all /usr/X11R6/bin/X with /usr/bin/X20:54
hoellptormod: not even my x alone starts20:54
hoellpbut ill try a failsafe xorg.conf20:54
tormodhoellp, startx does not work for you?20:55
hoellpnot it says i cant run it as user20:55
hoellpif i try with sudo i get a black screen20:56
tormodthat must be broken. is your /usr/bin/X suid?20:56
hoellptormod: that means exactly?20:57
tormodls -l reports -rwsr-s-r-x20:57
instructor_tormod: What's going on?20:58
tormods=suid bit, changes uid to owner of file20:58
hoellpnearly, its -rwsr-sr-r20:58
tormodhoellp, can not be r at the end20:58
hoellpx of course20:58
DanaGgrr, compiz on r100 / rv200 is buggy.20:58
instructor_hoellp: owned by root root ?20:59
hoellpyep20:59
tormodyes20:59
DanaGIt's slow as all hell... until you trigger Benchmark.20:59
hoellpeverything seems normal to me20:59
instructor_having that be SUID is kinda funny :)20:59
tormodinstructor_, why? it's not funny, and it will go away the day we have kms everywhere21:00
hoellpi dont understand why startx doesnt work for the user21:00
tormodhoellp, is your /dev/null ok?21:00
hoellpit seems so21:01
hoellphard to check if nothing is there ...21:01
hoellpbut i can redirect there at least21:01
hoellpand it exists21:01
tormodok I just mean the permissions :)21:01
hoellpcrw-rw-rw root:root21:02
tormodjust remember some complaints about it in another channel without checking to much21:02
pace_t_zuluhoellp: is there a bug report on launchpad?21:02
tormodanyway, a new gdm has been uploaded21:02
hoellppace_t_zulu: i got no gui, so launchpad is not really an option21:02
hoellptormod: not here yet...21:03
instructor_tormod: I mean it's funny that root owwns it and User is SUID it's kinda pointless21:03
tormodwait for gdm 2.20.10-0ubuntu421:03
tormodinstructor_, read man chmod21:03
tormodinstructor_, or google for suid executable21:04
hoellpok21:04
hoellpbut there is another strange behaviour21:04
hoellpif i start gdm now i get a terminal on vc7 pointing to /var/lib/gdm with root21:05
instructor_tormod: bah duh I knew that. What was I thinking21:05
* instructor_ grumbles and curls up with a pillow21:06

sugarMartinoT, yeah, i'm waiting on new gdm from what i hear.21:28
dupondjeoh didn't know21:28
pace_t_zuluanyone know what the status on the new gdm is? or where it can be followed?21:30
Sarvattif you want  you can edit the gdm.conf by hand21:38
Sarvatthttp://sarvatt.com/downloads/0001-saving-uncommitted-changes-in-etc-prior-to-apt-run.patch.txt21:38
Sarvattthats what i needed to do to get it running21:38
hoellpi changed gdm.conf as well now and it works21:41
hoellpso thx everyone and bye for now21:41
pace_t_zuluSarvatt: will applying that patch affect the installation of the new gdm package?21:58
Sarvatti dont even know if the patch applies, i just ripped it out of etckeeper, would change the 4 lines by hand21:59
DanaGoh hey, so did you say there's a problem with the Xorg updates?22:00
DanaGs/you/somebody/22:01
Sarvattyeah :D gdm.conf is pointing to the wrong place for X, change the 4 lines here in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf -- http://sarvatt.com/downloads/0001-saving-uncommitted-changes-in-etc-prior-to-apt-run.patch.txt22:02
Sarvattthe gdm update to fix it is waiting for another xorg update to fix the 10-x11-input.fdi problem since it moved from hal to xorg22:03
DanaGhmm it's easy enough to just wait a while... how will I know when to go ahead and run the upgrades?22:04
Sarvattwhen you see gdm as an upgrade22:04
DanaGOkay.  Thanks.22:05
DanaGOh yeah, what version of the ATI open-source driver does the xinput2 PPA have?22:05
DanaGThe one with ClockGating and ForceLowPowerMode, at least?22:05
Sarvattmaster branch up until the commit mentioned in the changelog22:06
Sarvatthttp://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/log/22:06
Sarvattup until the call hdmi-b commit22:07
DanaGThanks.22:14
MartinoTthx Sarvatt, problem solved :D22:19
tormodif you edit gdm.conf, there will be "complaints" at the next gdm update since you have edited it - say Yes to install the new version.22:23
BUGabundohey everyone22:24
billybigriggersup BUGabundo22:24
tormodthe "clean" way is to edit gdm.conf-custom with overrides, but the best is just to wait an hour for the new gdm22:24
BUGabundobillybigrigger: billybigrigger [[]]22:25
MartinoTThen the new gdm incorporate with that modified by me, no?22:26
Sarvattjust say y to let it override the installed version with the maintainers version22:26
MartinoTI did not understand, if I update returns as before?22:27
Sarvattwhen you update with apt-get it'll ask what you want to do to handle the situation and you can choose to keep yours or install the maintainers anyway22:28
miikwhy my firefox isnt 3.5??22:35

miikimagine in october karmy come, and it will have firefox 3.0?? then everyone will use 3.5 and be waiting for 3.6 maybe if they dont have that already22:38
miikand everyone will be like "check out brand new karmic ubuntu!!!"22:39
miikand ppl will be like "wtf?? it has firefox 3.0?? dude thats old!!1"22:39
miikthe good thing about windows is that you can use latest version of software, if you want22:40
miikbut if you use ubuntu, you're stuck with the old shit for atleast 6 months22:40
miikthen after 6 months, you can get a new ubuntu that ships with new old stuff22:40
billybigriggerwhat do you mean your stuck with old versions of software?22:41
mahfiazmiik, on the brighter side, you don't have to worry about that22:41

miikthen i must wait 6 months, until i finally get to try out that new feature, and by then, he already has something new cool22:43
mahfiazmiik, just go to cvs/svn version or use experimental repositories, and he will be the loser22:43
