billybigriggeri have a few questions im hoping someone from this channel can answer...00:02
billybigriggerwith the new 2.6.31 kernel, vbox 2.2.4 and its networking module has quit working...now i see that vobx 3.0 was released to debian testing00:03
billybigriggerwhat are the odds i will see a vbox 3.0 package in repos within the next few days, and if not for a long time, is anyone working on a patch or workaround?00:03
billybigriggeri've been digging around and can't seem to come up with a solution, short of downloading 3.0 from vbox's site, but i'd rather run software from the repos only00:04
Sarvatthttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/virtualbox/+bug/39231400:06
ubottuUbuntu bug 392314 in virtualbox-ose "vboxnetflt module fails to compile on 2.6.31-rc1 due to old the net_device api being removed." [Undecided,Confirmed]00:06
billybigriggerno wonder searching for virtualbox didn't return that :P00:08
billybigriggerSarvatt, thanks a bunch00:08
billybigriggerSarvatt, ok it says fix released, would that be the patch included in that bug page?00:10
billybigriggeror is there a fix coming in my updates00:10
billybigrigger?00:10
Sarvattit says fixed release for the upstream bug, the fix being the svn commit for 2.2.4 thats also in 3.000:11
billybigriggerok00:12
billybigriggerSarvatt, its been awhile since i patched something00:12
Sarvattjust save the patch in the bug to your /usr/src/vboxnetflt-2.2.4/ directory and patch -p1 < whatever.patch00:12
billybigriggerpatch -p1 > VBoxNetFlt-linux.c00:13
billybigrigger???00:13
billybigriggeroh00:13
billybigriggerok00:13
Sarvattpatch -p1 < patchname.patch00:13
billybigriggerjust have to save it in the dir00:13
billybigriggergotcha :P00:13
billybigriggerthanks00:13
billybigriggerbillybigrigger@cabo:/usr/src/vboxnetflt-2.2.4/linux$ patch -p1 < net_device-2.6.31.patch00:16
billybigriggercan't find file to patch at input line 400:16
billybigriggerPerhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?00:16
billybigriggernvm00:17
billybigriggeri guess it patched00:17
billybigriggerSarvatt, now i have to get dkms to reconfigure the module right?00:17
billybigriggerSarvatt, or am i supposed to be patching dkms?00:22
billybigriggerSarvatt, ping01:07
Sarvatt?01:07
billybigriggeri applied that patch, and build the network driver with dkms and installed it, rebooted the system and im still getting the same errors01:07
billybigriggeri know this isn't a support chan...but you seem to be the only guy awake in the last few hours01:08
Sarvattno idea then, i'm sorry man :(01:08
billybigriggerk no prob01:08
billybigriggerstupid stupid01:09
billybigriggerbooted the wrong kernel01:09
billybigriggerhaha01:09
billybigriggerand am i missing something or can you not restart the system from gnome anymore?01:11
billybigriggeryou have to logout back to gdm, and restart from there?01:11
billybigriggerbug or feature?01:11
ionThe System menu01:12
billybigriggernope01:12
ionUpgrade and re-login01:13
bkI have a question, and this is kind of advertisement but not intended to be as its part of the question.01:57
bkIm apart of a site called amahi, amahi.org, and we run a "home server software" ontop of distrobutions, currently the only one we have this working on is Fedora, and are working on a ubuntu version along with others. I dont know if any of the developers that are apart of ubuntu would like to help on this or not but its worth a shot to ask. Would any of the developers happen to be able to help out in getting amahi to work on dist01:59
bkI am also sorry if I broke any rules or if this is not the place to ask this question.02:01
CarlFKbk: this sounds more like you need a bunch of packages ...02:03
CarlFKI am looking at http://www.amahi.org/apps02:03
bkCarlFK: no, not applications, those are oneclicks02:03
bkwe can handle that02:03
bkjust to get amahi itself working on ubuntu02:03
bkits more a home server solution for the end user02:04
CarlFKim not seeing what "amahi" is then - kinda makes me think "linux distro"02:04
ion“We default to using home.com for your home DNS domain. That means your machines at home will be part of this DNS domain.” Ew, EBW!02:04
bkCarlFK: honestly, it kindof is, but it runs ontop of other distros (atm fedora)02:04
CarlFKbk: it is sounding like a package.02:06
bkit is, you install the distro, then install amahi02:06
bkbasically we need to change amahi to work with fedora02:06
bkoops02:06
bkubuntu02:06
CarlFKah... I bet you want #ubuntu-moto (packaging chatter)02:06
CarlFKthis #chan is more for what ubuntu is, not what runs on it.  you 'might' get some interest, cuz it is a nice project... but that would be pulling people away from ubuntu, which would make me grumpy :)02:09
bkCarlFK: ahh ok, im sorry then, I dont want to pull anyone away from ubuntu, I would just really love to see this running on ubuntu (i dont particularly like fedora, always been a ubuntu lover)02:10
wasabiI don't think you've really explained what it is, anyways.02:11
wasabiLooks like a bunch of applications, some of which are already available in Ubuntu.02:11
bkwasabi: its a home server software for the end users. Web based applications,  Ease of shares with different users in a household, backup solutions (from files to bare metal) and other sorts of things, can make it into a web server if wanted, mail server, etc. But easily for the non experienced users.02:12
wasabiHeh. And some of the package descriptions on your site are the exact same as the ones in apt.02:12
wasabiSo is it any unique code, or just a bunch of software repackaged?02:13
bkwasabi: as well as in yum02:13
bkunique code02:13
wasabiNot open, or?02:13
bkyes, opensource02:14
geofftit sounds like amahi is a couple of packages that depend on other packages from the distro (currently Fedora)?02:14
wasabiSo is it just a UI to install packages that already exist?02:15
wasabiThat's the question I'm trying to get at.02:15
wasabi"What is it?"02:15
bkwasabi: i stated what it is above02:15
bkfor the users that use WHS, they can use this as easy as that02:15
bkWHS=windows home server02:16
wasabiYou stated what it is from a marketing perspective.02:16
wasabiNot from a perspective one might expect to require when helping you figure out how to package it.02:16
bkWell, its written in ruby if that helps, im not really the maker, just the outer shell, i really wanted to see if this is the right place02:17
bkthere are about 4-5 users that work on the code currently02:17
wasabiOh. Well. Probably -motu is better then.02:17
wasabiBut they'll ask the same questions I did.02:17
bkk02:17
geofftI still haven't figured out what it is, but my ears perked up because it sounds kind of like what we're doing at MIT, for adding to existing packages02:17
geoffttake a look at http://debathena.mit.edu/ - if that concept sounds like what Amahi is, I can point you at hoe we did it02:17
wasabigeofft, from the ONE screen shot I can find on the Wiki, it looks like a web-ui that sets up various apps.02:18
wasabiLike ebox.02:18
bkgeofft: no, the packages are "one click apps" where you go to say http://apps in the browser, it shows that list of apps, you click install, then its done, then you go to http://appname and it takes you to that application02:18
bkyou can use it anywhere in your home or if your vpn'd into your home, you can use it away as well02:18
geofftIf it involves adding configuration on top of existing Ubuntu packages, then some (a little) of our setup might help02:19
geofftbut obviously we don't have this web installer thing02:19
wasabiWeb installer thing already exists:  apt:// or something02:19
bkok02:19
bkamahi installs like LAMP does02:19
bkinstalls ruby, pearl etc as well02:19
geofftLAMP on Ubuntu (and Fedora) is just installing the Apache, MySQL, and PHP packages.02:19
wasabiSo vague.02:20
bkyes02:20
bkits like a web serverr02:20
bkbut more user friendly?02:20
bkif that makes since02:20
wasabiI'm guessing you don't know much about it technically?02:20
geofftif you get someone with a better understanding of the code to show up, we can probably help more :-)02:20
bkthe user does not have to worry about setting up mysql passwords and databases, along with other things02:21
bkI can send the guy for this part on over, send him to #ubuntu-motu?02:21
wasabiDoes that guy have any questions, or do you?02:21
bkhe will have more than i will02:22
bki know that centos devel was not particularly interested in helping us02:22
bkwanted to make sure before we came on over02:22
wasabiWell, without a question to be asked, there's not much anybody can do to help you.02:22
bkwell ok02:23
bkthanks for your time, he might drop into motu to ask random questions about bigger things if needed02:24
CarlFKthat was odd02:27
CarlFKmakes me feel better about my OT questions :)02:27

silidan1what else besides the files in hom dir .asoundrc and company, and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf , do affekt the routing of audio on ubuntu?18:55
silidan1what else besides the files in hom dir .asoundrc and company, and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf , do affekt the routing of audio on ubuntu 9.04?18:57
dtchensilidan1: the only files that affect audio routing by default in Ubuntu are /usr/share/alsa/pulse*.conf.  the module-init-tools file does not actually affect it.18:57
silidan1did you know that setting audio out trough system->settings->sound doesnt affekt ubuntus theme sound output?18:58
dtchensilidan1: it's a known issue for 9.04 and won't be resolved in that release.18:59
silidan1:O18:59
silidan1so i should upgrade to 9.10 ?18:59
dtchensilidan1: you do not need to unless you want tightly integrated GNOME controls. you can install and use pavucontrol.19:00
silidan1nope i cant it only reports -5 no driver or so19:01
dtchensilidan1: if you need assistance, that's more appropriate in #ubuntu or #ubuntu-audio-help19:01

ryanpriorWhen is the toolchain freeze for Karmic? We've got a GCC 4.4 regression that we're trying to pin down, and it would be great if we could get a patch in to Karmic's toolchain instead of having to patch around the bug upstream.20:40

ballooozahi, dose anyone here know how to get the kernel source to compile (or install I guess) the vmware server (2.0.0) on jaunty, the kernel-source-devel appears to be gone23:09
c_kornballoooza: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=kernel-image you mean that?23:12
=== Snova_ is now known as Snova
ballooozac_korn: that says debian installer, is that right23:14
ballooozac_korn: there is no such package for jaunty23:15
c_kornballoooza: a kernel for which architecture are you looking for? debian installer is correct because ubuntu uses the debian package format .deb23:18
ajmitchc_korn: usually for something like vmware, just the headers for the current running kernel are used23:18
ballooozaI think I found it, ubuntu-headers-genaric23:18
mrooneydtchen: any ideas on how I might debug HDMI audio intermittently cutting out on Karmic?23:46
mrooneyit seems to drop a split-second once or twice a minute, though it continues to play through the laptop speakers just fine23:48
=== FFForever-Away is now known as FFForever
directhexooh, i wonder if karmic will give me working hdmi audio23:49
TheMusodirecthex: Possibly, since 2.6.31 pretty much has the latest alsa code available.23:50
TheMusodirecthex: However, only 2 channel PCM is possible currently, no AC3/7.1 PCM etc is possible.23:51
directhexTheMuso, that'd be a start23:51
mrooneydirecthex: it is working fine for me in Jaunty, this is actually a regression23:52
directhexi get nothin' on my server box23:53
directhexnvidia audio...23:53
mrooneyalso I should file a papercut bug to rename the IEC958 switch to something more discoverable and enable visibility of it by default23:53
ajmitchdirecthex: a server with hdmi audio?23:53
mrooneyotherwise almost no one is going to figure it out23:54
directhexajmitch, well, until i can afford a mythfrontend, it does that job too23:54
mrooneyany tips on a good initial package for the bug? pulseaudio? nvidia-glx-180?23:54
TheMusomrooney: thats a rather difficult thing to do, rename the IEC control.23:55
* ajmitch doubts it'd be anyway related to nvidia-glx-18023:55
TheMusomrooney: Probably alsa-lib, but maybe at the kernel level as well. But please bare in mind taht if its renamed, it will brea a lot of bits/.23:55
mrooneyreally? you can't just change the name in the volume control to anything?23:55
=== FFForever is now known as FFForever-Away
TheMusomrooney: We could make the change somehow in the UI, but not in alsamixer, and by UI I mean GTK/QT.23:56
ajmitchthere'd probably need to be some set of mappings from hardware names to user-friendly names for the volume controls23:56
mrooneyyeah23:56
mrooneyI just mean rename it in the UI so a remotely normal person can figure out that they should enable it to get digital audio23:56
mrooneycurrently the switch is even hidden by default23:56
TheMusomrooney: Right, you want to look at gnome-media then, although teh gnome-volume-control appet uses gstreamer, so you will have to see hwo those too communicate device volume controls.23:57
TheMusoAs for KDE, I don't know.23:57
