qixcom | hi, I noticed a strange issue and was wondering whether anyone else has noticed... When I open synaptic and it asks for the root password it keeps telling me that the password is wrong when its not... I know that for a fact, whats stranger is that when I open an application with the sudo command and enter the password it works | 00:23 |
---|---|---|
douglasawh-work2 | is it actually asking for root or sudo? | 00:24 |
douglasawh-work2 | those are two different things | 00:24 |
douglasawh-work2 | though, root would be odd | 00:25 |
bcurtiswx | whats the proper command line way to upgrade from jaunty to karmic | 00:26 |
yofel | qixcom: do you have all updates installed? I remember some talk about a gksu bug that was fixed a few hours ago | 00:26 |
qixcom | Well I just upgraded a few hours ago so it might have updated when I was upgrading | 00:26 |
qixcom | just installing firefox3.5 and empathy(thank god for the terminal) :) | 00:27 |
yofel | qixcom: check update-manager for updates on libgksu | 00:27 |
yofel | or apt-get if update-manager won't work ;) | 00:27 |
yofel | bcurtiswx: why do you want to update per cli? | 00:28 |
yofel | s/update/upgrade | 00:28 |
qixcom | When is firefox supposed to get proper branding? | 00:29 |
bcurtiswx | yofei: just wondering.. i know of the update-manager -d, but last time i tried that when it installed the new GDM it restarted my session and i think parts of the install got screwed up | 00:30 |
bcurtiswx | yofel: ^^ | 00:30 |
qixcom | bcurtiswx - I just performed an update-manager -d a few hours ago and gdm works :) | 00:30 |
yofel | bcurtiswx: oh, *that* bug is fixed now if that's what's holding you back, other than that I only know about editing sources.lst and upgrade with apt-get dist-upgrade or better with aptitude | 00:31 |
bcurtiswx | qixcom, cool.. this could be a system specific problem | 00:31 |
bcurtiswx | yofel: ok thx | 00:31 |
qixcom | bcurtiswx - doubtful, I would assume the bug would be related to the greeter | 00:31 |
yofel | the fault was a broken postinst script that restarted gdm during the update -> *bad* idea ;) | 00:32 |
qixcom | actually, was kinda warm and fuzzy inside when I saw that ubuntu made the switch to the new gdm | 00:32 |
qixcom | yofel - ouch | 00:32 |
qixcom | yofel - any idea whether the new greater is in development yet? | 00:33 |
yofel | qixcom: what do you mean? The message that says something about simple-greeter settings not saved? | 00:33 |
qixcom | yofel - no, I had a convo with macslow quite some time ago about the facebrowser and the requirements for it.. apparently the greater needs some work post migration to the new gdm | 00:34 |
qixcom | so we are at least half way there | 00:34 |
qixcom | :) | 00:35 |
yofel | no idea abou that, *I* want a new gdmsetup fast, fiddling around with gconf is annoying :P | 00:36 |
qixcom | yofel - I was surprised when I found out there was still no new gdmsetup considering how long its been on fedora | 00:38 |

oldude67 | has anyone had any luck at fixing the gdm issue? | 03:06 |
billybigrigger_ | which one? :P | 03:06 |
DanaG | "the gdm issue"? | 03:06 |
oldude67 | yeah about a week ago i did a stupid partial update and it hasnt worked right since. | 03:07 |
billybigrigger_ | whats wrong? | 03:07 |
oldude67 | no matter how i try to change it from kdm it defaults right back to it. | 03:07 |
oldude67 | when booting it says in an error window to configure it manually and i have done that several times. | 03:08 |
billybigrigger_ | ya ya, thats fixed | 03:09 |
billybigrigger_ | at least its coming | 03:09 |
oldude67 | oh ok..so its not just me? | 03:09 |
billybigrigger_ | no, its being held back for me right now | 03:09 |
billybigrigger_ | it'll come | 03:09 |
oldude67 | k | 03:09 |
billybigrigger_ | be patient :P | 03:09 |
DanaG | COnfigure it manually? whaddaya mean, configure it manually? | 03:10 |
oldude67 | oh i just thought maybe i wasnt doing something right or something stupid | 03:10 |
DanaG | "Reopen windows manually" you mean? | 03:10 |
DanaG | sorry, the wording you used was a bit odd. =þ | 03:10 |
oldude67 | no it says gdm has to be configured manually and defaults back to kdm | 03:10 |
* DanaG hopes rebooting will fix the damned audio. | 03:10 | |
oldude67 | i said it right | 03:10 |
DanaG | Ah, different issue than I have, then. | 03:10 |
oldude67 | yeah | 03:11 |
billybigrigger_ | oh, maybe something different then what im thinking too | 03:11 |
oldude67 | audio working fine for now....fixed alsa | 03:11 |
billybigrigger_ | but in any case, search launchpad for a bug, and if you find it subscribe to it | 03:11 |
bcurtiswx | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30-rc8/ how do I add that PPA to my software sources? | 03:11 |
billybigrigger_ | or make a new one | 03:11 |
billybigrigger_ | and wait for a fix :P | 03:11 |
oldude67 | i just did a alsa reload and mine came back..but i have rebooted since then too. | 03:12 |
oldude67 | im just on a play machine so im just testing things so i can see if they are going to break before i put them to use on the main machine..lol | 03:13 |

nhasian | hello everyone | 08:24 |
JonDoe297 | nhasian: hello :) | 08:25 |
nhasian | JonDoe297, how's karmic treating you these days? | 08:25 |
JonDoe297 | well, everything is OK, but I have encountered with some mysterious GIMP freeze yesterday | 08:26 |
nhasian | hmm i dont use gimp much except to resize photos ^_^ | 08:26 |
JonDoe297 | I can't use it - after opening image, and trying to do something with instrument on it, X freezes | 08:27 |
nhasian | let me see if i can duplicate the issue. | 08:27 |
JonDoe297 | I think you will not have this issue | 08:27 |
nhasian | if i can use the crop tool on the picture, will that be enough? | 08:27 |
JonDoe297 | yes, try crop tool | 08:27 |
nhasian | i did not have any freezes so i guess thats a good thing :) | 08:29 |
JonDoe297 | just as I said :) | 08:29 |
JonDoe297 | I think that's because I'm using Sarvatt's PPA for Xorg Testing (https://edge.launchpad.net/~sarvatt/+archive/xorg-testing) | 08:29 |
nhasian | did you see if there were any similar bugs? or file a bug yourself? | 08:29 |

ctp | hi folks. would you recommend karmic for daily work for someone beeing linux user for more than 10 years? so i'm expecting _some_ bugs but need a system which is stable enough to work with ;-) | 10:01 |
hifi | I run karmic, have since the repository went online | 10:01 |
hifi | I think it depends what kind of software are you running | 10:02 |
hifi | my home desktop runs only openbox and on top of it rxvt-unicode and firefox so the combination is pretty solid, not too many moving parts that might broke | 10:02 |
ctp | hifi: i wanna run kde 4.3 ;-) never touched kde before (except for some tests ;-)). but 4.3 seems to rock ;-) | 10:04 |
umask001 | ctp: what features are new in kde that are cool? | 10:06 |
ctp | umask001: i began coding qt. the widget framework is really cool. i need a vis widget for mesh networks which i'll code on 4.3 | 10:08 |
ctp | umask001: qt seems to make coder's life easier. | 10:09 |
reto` | I don't understand why KDE/GNOME are not joining forces to create a new GUI. It doesn't help much to have two "competing" major window managers. Linux would be advancing much faster like that. | 10:11 |
kklimonda | reto`: because KDE and GNOME has different views at Usability | 10:12 |
reto` | kklimonda: hmm... what are those differences? | 10:13 |
umask001 | it's strange.. I used windowmaker for years. Switched to Gnome because it was somewhat like CDE which I was using at work. I liked CDE because it was unobtrusive (even though it was ugly as hell). I've always disliked KDE, but now it's much more like CDE than Gnome ever was | 10:13 |
kklimonda | reto`: franky speaking, I don't remember as I don't follow the issue. | 10:16 |
kklimonda | reto`: also the other important factor is a GTK+ vs. QT debate. | 10:16 |
ctp | reto`: linux is a basaar. it's good that it offers 3-4 big desktop environments, dozens of window managers, 10 web servers, 6 smtp servers, cvs/svn/git/mercurial, dozens mailers etc. it's hard enough to manage kde with maybe hundred developers ;-) | 10:16 |
kklimonda | ctp: why is it good wrt desktop environments (and ui toolkits)? | 10:18 |
ctp | reto`: what's important is to share the underlying usability approaches. but that's not sharing code but concepts | 10:18 |
kklimonda | ctp: I agree that it's good we have a few different web servers, a ton of vcs software etc.. | 10:19 |
kklimonda | but imo having two DE and two (ok, even more) competing toolkits isn't the best situation. | 10:19 |
ctp | qt and gtk are going completely different ways. kde e.g. is portable enough for win32 and qtopia apps but it's heavy weight | 10:20 |
umask001 | thats like asking two artists to paint your picture, then telling one of them to put their brush down after a few minutes. Nothing can be done that won't offend one side or the other, so they both compete and they both share when it benifits them | 10:21 |
kklimonda | ctp: do they? I was always thinking that both qt and glib/gtk has similar goals (and only gtk is a bit behind..) | 10:22 |
ctp | kklimonda: did you ever see gtk on a mobile device? | 10:22 |
ctp | ;-) | 10:23 |
* ctp is away for 10 minutes | 10:23 | |
kklimonda | ctp: but afair gtk devs were targetting mobile devices too.. | 10:23 |
cge | Has anyone installed from nightlies recently? I'm wondering if they're decent right now. | 10:37 |
Ng | cge: I did so last week | 10:39 |
cge | No major failures? | 10:39 |
Ng | nothing massive so far, but I'm quite used to running unstable debian-ish distros | 10:39 |
cge | I used to run unstable+experimental | 10:40 |
cge | I was primarily concerned that there might be a major problem with the nightly itself; I've had times when I've downloaded them and haven't had them work at all, which can be annoying. | 10:40 |

gnomefreak | ati has same lack of support as well atm | 13:01 |
bushwakko | ok | 13:01 |
gnomefreak | its the mesa 7.6 packages you need for opengl 2.1 | 13:03 |

Le-Chuck_ITA | or, better, in /bin/sh which is dash I think=? | 13:41 |
BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 13:42 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | I have to debug the new firefox 3.5 script seems broken | 13:42 |
gnomefreak | Le-Chuck_ITA: define broken | 13:42 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | gnomefreak: thunderbird launches it correctly, but the firefox window does not appear | 13:42 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | if I put "date >> /tmp/file" at points in the script I see it's run | 13:43 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | it is runned | 13:43 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | whatever :) | 13:43 |
gnomefreak | Le-Chuck_ITA: ok what script? is this one you wrote? | 13:43 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | no it's the ubuntu /usr/lib/firefox-3.5/firefox.sh script | 13:43 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | if only I could see its output | 13:43 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | hmm | 13:44 |
gnomefreak | Le-Chuck_ITA: hold on a second | 13:44 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | perhaps launching it from another script | 13:44 |
* BluesKaj dumped FF in favour of chromium-browser | 13:44 | |
Le-Chuck_ITA | BluesKaj: too in love with firefox :) | 13:44 |
gnomefreak | Le-Chuck_ITA: something like command 2>&1 | tee log.txt sorry in middle of something but what do you mean? ff doesnt launch for you without linking? | 13:45 |
gnomefreak | Le-Chuck_ITA: did you set it as default in preffered apps menu? | 13:46 |
BluesKaj | Le-Chuck_ITA, I was too but it began to be slow and cumbersome ...now that chrome has flash and java working , I'm in , so to speak | 13:46 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | gnomefreak: firefox does not open, and I can't see the output but now I wrote a script to redirect the output | 13:46 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | BluesKaj: will try chrome | 13:46 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | gnomefreak: yes I did | 13:46 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | gnomefreak: it worked two days ago | 13:46 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | it does not work right now | 13:46 |
gnomefreak | Le-Chuck_ITA: daily builds? | 13:46 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | I am using karmic so I'd like to eventually report any bug in shell scripts | 13:46 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | no no | 13:46 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | karmic :) | 13:46 |
gnomefreak | Le-Chuck_ITA: we havent updated ff-3.5 in last few days | 13:46 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | btw does anybody know how to get the close buttons on tabs back? | 13:47 |
gnomefreak | well outside of daily | 13:47 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | or at least a close button on the right | 13:47 |
gnomefreak | Le-Chuck_ITA: disable ubufox | 13:47 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | aha | 13:47 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | great | 13:47 |
gnomefreak | Le-Chuck_ITA: that should fix it all | 13:47 |
gnomefreak | but dont remember if asac pushed new ubufox | 13:47 |
gnomefreak | ill ask him to make sure | 13:47 |
gnomefreak | Le-Chuck_ITA: join us in #ubuntu-mozillateam if you like | 13:49 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | gnomefreak: thanks. I am now trying to run my custom script | 13:49 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | now the firefox window appears | 13:49 |

rski | i hope so | 13:54 |
Pici | !who | 13:54 |
ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 13:54 |
flasbang73 | rski: are you sure there is no way is there a beta wubi i can get? | 13:55 |
flasbang73 | !tab | 13:55 |
ubottu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 13:55 |
BluesKaj | flasbang73, not until karmic is official | 13:56 |
flasbang73 | BluesKaj: so is there a way i can manualy do what wubi does? | 13:56 |
BluesKaj | flasbang73, you have no option in wubi, as far as I know, to choose an alpha or beta (k)ubuntu release | 13:58 |
BluesKaj | the latest is jaunty | 13:58 |
flasbang73 | BluesKaj: i tried to just upgrade from my wubi 9.04 install but it just messed up my mbr | 13:58 |
flasbang73 | BluesKaj: what if i make it skip the md5 sum check and change the file name to the 9.04 one | 13:59 |
BluesKaj | flasbang73, it would . Do you know how to edit grub ? | 13:59 |
flasbang73 | BluesKaj: no i don't | 13:59 |
flasbang73 | BluesKaj: im new to ubuntu and i really like it but i don't want to do a full blown install | 14:00 |
BluesKaj | flasbang73, I run jaunty in wubi on my laptop and karmic on my desktop ...there's not a lot of difference , believe me. | 14:01 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | do you know what's the standard way to clean the environment in a bash script? | 14:01 |
BluesKaj | flasbang73, then leave karmic alone ...it's only in it's development phase | 14:02 |
flasbang73 | BluesKaj: so it's mostly just a gnome differance | 14:02 |
flasbang73 | BluesKaj: well upgrade | 14:02 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | clean your environment | 14:02 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | save the pelikans | 14:03 |
BluesKaj | flasbang73, dunno.I run kde (kubuntu) | 14:03 |
flasbang73 | BluesKaj: ok well thank you anyway | 14:04 |
umask001 | Le-Chuck_ITA: unset `env | cut -d= -f1` | 14:04 |
BluesKaj | flasbang73, I recommenf you stivk with jaunty for now | 14:04 |
flasbang73 | BluesKaj: just a random question can you use compiz in kde | 14:04 |
BluesKaj | erryes | 14:04 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | umask001: that's the standard way ?!? | 14:04 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | scripting is a strange world :) | 14:05 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | umask001: is it the same as env -i? | 14:05 |
umask001 | Le-Chuck_ITA: no idea what the standard way is.. I've never really thought about doing it before. I know some programs like sudo do it as a security measure but I don't know how they go about it | 14:05 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | thanks | 14:06 |
umask001 | Le-Chuck_ITA: hrmm.. env -i might be new or something. That looks more appropriate | 14:08 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | umask001: a pity it doesn't do anything | 14:08 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | :) | 14:08 |
umask001 | Le-Chuck_ITA: It seems to. If you run "env -i sh" it'll start a new shell with no environment variables. So it's a one-off command | 14:09 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | yes but i need it to work "inside" the shell script | 14:11 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | it's karmic's firefox-3.5 startup script | 14:11 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | if ran from thunderbird it inherits too many "MOZILLA-*" variables and it does not work | 14:11 |
umask001 | Le-Chuck_ITA: try changing the #! line at the top to say "#!/usr/bin/env -i /bin/sh" | 14:12 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | umask001: nope | 14:14 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | I am discouraged :) | 14:15 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | will retry tomorrow | 14:15 |
dhq | i have a dell m1530 now i have 3 jacks which support 5.1 channel. the problem is i cant get kubuntu to work with it please help me | 14:16 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq do you have a 5.1 test file | 14:18 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: and, did you try using mplayer to play it | 14:18 |
dhq | Le-Chuck_ITA: i dont get the option for surround or anything | 14:18 |
dhq | it doesnt detect the jack | 14:18 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: hmm, I don't know where that option should be, but the gnome mixer in my 5.1 system shows 6 sliders | 14:19 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | I don't have any "surround" option thoug | 14:19 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | h | 14:19 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: how many volume sliders in the gnome mixer? | 14:19 |
dhq | Le-Chuck_ITA: i am using kubuntu karmic kola | 14:19 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: I suppose the kde mixer applet should be similar | 14:19 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | do you have just two sliders for the master volume? | 14:20 |
=== [[MindVirus]] is now known as [MindVirus] | ||
dhq | master,pcm, headphone, headphone2 these are the sliders i have | 14:20 |
dhq | Le-Chuck_ITA: ^^ | 14:20 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: but master is stereo | 14:20 |
dhq | Le-Chuck_ITA: i have no idea | 14:21 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: you can see two sliders in the master | 14:21 |
dhq | no just a single one | 14:21 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq try alsamixer from the command line? | 14:21 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | alsamixer will show you all the controllers in any case | 14:22 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | you navigate with arrow keys and use spacebar to toggle buttons | 14:22 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: from what I read around, yes you are supposed to have a surround switch but it is not visible by default in the gnome mixer, one needs to use the mixer preferences to enable it, perhaps it's the same in kde | 14:23 |
dhq | Le-Chuck_ITA: no surround and the alsa mixer and kmix are the same | 14:23 |
dhq | < Master > Headphon Headphon PCM Front Mi IEC958 IEC958 D IEC958 P Digital PC Beep | 14:24 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: out of ideas :( | 14:25 |
dhq | Le-Chuck_ITA: damn i need my 5.1 | 14:26 |
dhq | :( | 14:26 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq at worst report a bug, did you google it hard? | 14:26 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: did it work in jaunty? | 14:26 |
dhq | Le-Chuck_ITA: i tried so manythings but no luck | 14:26 |
dhq | Le-Chuck_ITA: yes it worked in janunty | 14:26 |
dhq | Le-Chuck_ITA: thanks for your help though | 14:33 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: if it worked in jaunty it's certainly a bug | 14:33 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | report it, mark it as regression-potential | 14:33 |
dhq | i dont know how | 14:34 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | and try to get it triaged by somebody if you really need it :) | 14:34 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: it's easy, but you need to subscribe to launchpad | 14:34 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: point is that you need to do it in first person because you'll need to cooperate with developers when they will ask you to gather some debug info | 14:34 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: but try | 14:34 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | modinfo -p YOUR_CARD_MODULE | 14:34 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: which you have to guess from lsmd | 14:34 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | lsmod | 14:34 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: all of the above in a root shell | 14:35 |
dhq | hmm ok | 14:35 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: modinfo -p will show your driver's options | 14:36 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | maybe surround has been disabled by default for some reason | 14:36 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: in the end you could try the kernel development irc channel | 14:37 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | for ubuntu | 14:37 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | but I don't remember the name, anybody??? | 14:37 |
yofel | wasn't it #ubuntu-kernel? | 14:37 |
hggdh | yes | 14:38 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | it is | 14:38 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq try to ask in that channel, good luck :) | 14:38 |
Le-Chuck_ITA | dhq: mention it's a regression | 14:38 |
dhq | i will thats alot | 14:39 |
JonDoe297 | :( | 14:41 |
oldude67 | UnderSampled, what types of problems are you having? | 14:42 |
UnderSampled | kernel error | 14:42 |
oldude67 | which kernel are you using? | 14:42 |
UnderSampled | oldude67: default 9.04 | 14:43 |
oldude67 | and whats the error? | 14:43 |
UnderSampled | it breaks as it starts, even from the live cd | 14:43 |
UnderSampled | WARNING at /build/builddd/linux-2.6.28/kernal/smo.c:333 smo_function_mask+0x1d4/0x1e0() | 14:43 |
oldude67 | well you can try the 9.10 and see if it will help..what type of machine is it going on? | 14:44 |
UnderSampled | oldude67: desktop with a pentium 4 | 14:44 |
oldude67 | thats odd what video card are you using? | 14:44 |
UnderSampled | nvidia geforce 7600 gs | 14:45 |
oldude67 | have you tried the alternative cd? | 14:46 |
UnderSampled | I have not, but I have tried the internet install from unetbootin, and also just installing 8.10 with an immidiate upgrade to 9.04 | 14:47 |
UnderSampled | 8.04 works fine | 14:48 |
drs305 | UnderSampled: FYI, I am running 9.04 with a 7600 GS with no problems. | 14:49 |
BluesKaj | UnderSampled, I have the nvidia geforce 7600GT, which is very similar , so yours should work without a hitch with the nividia-glx-180 driver | 14:49 |
drs305 | UnderSampled: ver 180 hardware driver | 14:50 |
oldude67 | hes getting a kernel panick | 14:50 |
oldude67 | panic ugh cant type today..not awake yet | 14:50 |
UnderSampled | how does this have anything to do with the video card? it displays the boot sequence just fine. its the boot itself ;) | 14:50 |
BluesKaj | right ..sorry i should have scrolled up ..looks like a HW problem alright | 14:53 |
drs305 | UnderSampled: I don't think it would, but I provided the info since it was mentioned. | 14:53 |
oldude67 | so far 9.10 isnt to bad just minor issues | 14:53 |
UnderSampled | if it help any, I have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157106 as my mother board | 14:54 |
BluesKaj | UnderSampled, hmmm maybe upgrade to 8.10 first then to 9.04 | 14:55 |
oldude67 | UnderSampled, you went from 8.04 straight to 9.04? | 14:55 |
UnderSampled | no, it was 8.10 | 14:55 |
UnderSampled | well, my statement was true (8.04 works fine), but misleading. 8.10 works fine | 14:56 |
UnderSampled | yes, it was a mistake | 14:56 |
oldude67 | well you could always try the 9.10 and see if it gives you the kernel panic as well. | 14:58 |
BluesKaj | UnderSampled, did you try an internet upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04. Use apt or aptitude : sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 15:02 |
UnderSampled | BluesKaj how would this be different? | 15:10 |
UnderSampled | BluesKaj: yes, I used the official updater | 15:11 |
UnderSampled | BluesKaj: however, both the live cd and the internet installer failed | 15:11 |
UnderSampled | (in the same way) | 15:11 |
BluesKaj | wow | 15:12 |
BluesKaj | UnderSampled, dunno what to tell , it sound serious ...we need some heavyweights in here for help on this one | 15:13 |
BluesKaj | !help | 15:15 |
ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 15:15 |
BluesKaj | oops :) | 15:15 |
eagles0513875 | hehe BluesKaj | 15:16 |
eagles0513875 | BluesKaj: you try out grub2 on karmic yet | 15:16 |
eagles0513875 | UnderSampled: have you tried upgrading from jaunty to karmic | 15:16 |
BluesKaj | well eagles0513875 , any suggestions ? | 15:16 |
eagles0513875 | for me what i did to get karmic installed was upgrade from jaunty and it worked | 15:16 |
UnderSampled | eagles0513875: I wouldn't be able to. it doesn't get past boot | 15:16 |
BluesKaj | yeah, i'm on grub2 , eagles0513875 | 15:16 |
eagles0513875 | strange mine seems to be able to get booting BluesKaj | 15:17 |
eagles0513875 | UnderSampled: O_O | 15:17 |
BluesKaj | methinks a HW problem | 15:17 |
Pici | No, its a kernel issue. The kernel panics on boot. | 15:17 |
UnderSampled | its a kernal panic due to hw incompatibility. these are fresh installs | 15:18 |
BluesKaj | Pici, why tho, what's causing the prob if there's no kernel/HW conflict | 15:18 |
Pici | BluesKaj: A 'HW problem' to me is a hardware defect. | 15:19 |
eagles0513875 | Pici: would the alternate installer have the same issue | 15:19 |
Pici | eagles0513875: It probably would, but it wouldn't hurt to try. | 15:20 |
BluesKaj | to me it's like UnderSampled says , incompatibility | 15:20 |
eagles0513875 | UnderSampled: give the alternate install a shot | 15:20 |
eagles0513875 | BluesKaj: first time you ran grub 2 did it take a while to boot | 15:20 |
BluesKaj | hmm, don't recall eagles0513875 | 15:20 |
eagles0513875 | took a while guessing finding stuff on my hdd but it eventually booted | 15:21 |
eagles0513875 | things are fine now like nothing happened | 15:21 |
BluesKaj | eagles0513875, did you do , sudo update-grub ? | 15:28 |
eagles0513875 | ya i did it once i booted by default to run level 1 for some reason after booting into init 1 it seems to default constantly to init 1 | 15:29 |
SKB | hello | 15:44 |
eagles0513875 | hey SKB | 15:44 |
UnderSampled | you guys can chew on this http://yfrog.com/5fdumpij | 15:46 |
eagles0513875 | ? | 15:50 |
eagles0513875 | UnderSampled: what is | 15:50 |
BluesKaj | UnderSampled, not me :) | 15:51 |
UnderSampled | its a picture of my kernel panic | 15:52 |
* BluesKaj waits for Pici or some other more knowledgeable ppl to analyse that message | 15:53 | |
eagles0513875 | the kernel version currently in karmic is 2.6.31 which is normally a dev kernel | 15:54 |
eagles0513875 | UnderSampled: that doesnt look like a kernel panic | 15:55 |
eagles0513875 | UnderSampled: you might also want to try in ubuntu-kernel regard to ur issue they might be able to help ya better since its a kernel issue which u seem to be having | 15:56 |
ryann | can anyone help troubleshoot this please? http://pastebin.com/d6169d6c9 | 16:20 |
ryann | it's not so much that i want that package, it's that this error appears regardless of the packages i upgrade or install via apt. | 16:21 |
yofel | ryann: does the same happen when running 'dpkg --configure -a' ? | 16:22 |
ryann | yofel, yes. http://pastebin.com/d7e66050d | 16:23 |
BluesKaj | ryann, sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock ,then , sudo dpkg --configure -a | 16:25 |
ryann | hrm, no output from fuser, but same errors from dpkg. http://pastebin.com/d1333bf30 | 16:26 |
yofel | ryann: what does 'sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/synaptic.postinst' give you? | 16:27 |
ryann | just returns a new line | 16:28 |
BluesKaj | ryann, maybe sudo aptitude purge synaptic , the try to reinstall it | 16:28 |
ryann | no output | 16:28 |
ryann | ugly | 16:29 |
BluesKaj | reinstall ? | 16:29 |
ryann | http://pastebin.com/d6c95e3e7 | 16:29 |
ryann | i'll try to reinstall now | 16:30 |
ryann | dpkg: error processing synaptic (--configure): | 16:30 |
ryann | subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 139 | 16:30 |
yofel | ryann: purge it with 'dpkg -P synaptic' then reinstall it with apt | 16:31 |
ryann | http://pastebin.com/d76166297 | 16:32 |
BluesKaj | yofel, right , din't think of that ...should work | 16:32 |
mvo | 139 means segfault - could you enable apport to check if that catches what is crashing? | 16:32 |
BluesKaj | mvo, dmesg | tail ? | 16:35 |
yofel | looking at the post* scripts it should be either scrollkeeper-update or update-menus | 16:35 |
mvo | BluesKaj: yeah, that works as well :) apport gives the benefit of a crashfile though | 16:36 |
BluesKaj | ok , not real familiar with apport , how does one use it ? just apport in the konsole ? | 16:37 |
ryann | unfamiliar with apport, i've pasted the last few scroll-keeper lines from dmesg here http://pastebin.com/df0a5651 | 16:37 |
yofel | BluesKaj: enable it in /etc/default/apport and it should catch crashes by itself ;) | 16:37 |
BluesKaj | yofel, thanks :) | 16:38 |
BluesKaj | plasma keeps crashing here and I'm getting tired of it | 16:39 |
yofel | ryann: enable apport in /etc/default/apport and then run '/etc/init.d/apport start' and then run dpkg again | 16:40 |
ryann | i was just about to ask how to start apport | 16:40 |
ryann | dpkg --configure -a runs without any output | 16:42 |
ryann | apt-get install synaptic returns Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 16:42 |
BluesKaj | yofel, will the enable stay as default in init.d/apport or do i have to link it to runlevels ? | 16:43 |
yofel | BluesKaj: once it's enabled in /etc/default/apport it will stay enabled, S20apport is already in the default runlevel ;) | 16:44 |
BluesKaj | yofel, cool :) | 16:44 |
yofel | BluesKaj: afaik apport will be enabled by default once alpha3 is out | 16:45 |
ryann | same issues with aptitude http://pastebin.com/d780b368a | 16:45 |
yofel | ryann: do you have anything in /var/crash ? | 16:45 |
ryann | yes, yes i do | 16:47 |
yofel | ryann: didn't apport come up? | 16:47 |
ryann | 212K 2009-07-14 11:10 update-manager.0.crash and there is another from today for evolution-docu..-en | 16:48 |
ryann | no front-end appeared after the seg fault, if that's what you're asking | 16:48 |
yofel | ryann: run '/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk -c <crashfile>' | 16:49 |
ryann | fantastic, apport-gtk is not installed | 16:52 |
yofel | o.O | 16:53 |
ryann | and it won't install since apt is crashing over this evolution crap | 16:53 |
yofel | ok, then install apport, but first try to reinstall 'rarian-compat' | 16:53 |
* gnomefreak doesnt get apt crashes | 16:56 | |
yofel | neither do I :P | 16:56 |
ryann | package wasn't installed.. | 16:56 |
ryann | http://pastebin.com/d34ad0a69 | 16:56 |
BluesKaj | it doesn't help ryann tho | 16:56 |
gnomefreak | BluesKaj: it will once we figure out why | 16:59 |
UnderSampled | I tried the alternate install, but it went blanck with the blinking caps/scroll lock lights | 16:59 |
yofel | ryann: did you upgrade from jaunty since you had scrollkeeper installed? It doesn't exist in karmic anymore | 16:59 |
gnomefreak | ryann: sudo apt-get -f install no package name, just as i typed it | 17:00 |
gnomefreak | ryann: see if it fixes evo doc problem | 17:00 |
yofel | gnomefreak: the evo doc problem comes from scrollkeeper-update segfaulting | 17:01 |
gnomefreak | yofel: i know | 17:01 |
gnomefreak | yofel: it will remove scrollkeeper and install the other one (name excapes me) | 17:01 |
gnomefreak | s/will/should | 17:02 |
* gnomefreak thought it was demoted not removed | 17:02 | |
gnomefreak | nope it was removed | 17:02 |

Sarvatt | gnomefreak: i915 will never support opengl 2.1 in hardware regardless of the mesa version, its a hardware limitation... | 17:10 |
gnomefreak | Sarvatt: 915 maybe not but im not up on my intel cards. i just know intel is working on it | 17:11 |
Sarvatt | theres nothing to work on, the card itself doesnt support the features, only intel cards that do are 865+ | 17:11 |

eagles0513875 | my laptop card is a go 6150 video card and nvidia chipset no problems with 3d there | 17:14 |

protector1981 | have ubuntu7 installed | 17:40 |
ryann | ok so removing scrollkeeper | 17:41 |
gnomefreak | protector1981: i remember people seeing that before however not sure if fixed or not or what the issue was | 17:41 |
protector1981 | bugreport is posted, but nobody has replied :( | 17:42 |
gnomefreak | yofel: it shouldnt but i dont know the client he is useing, never used it | 17:42 |
ryann | yofel, http://pastebin.com/d931b107 | 17:42 |
gnomefreak | protector1981: than it hasnt been fixed i would guess | 17:42 |
ryann | yayyyy | 17:43 |
ryann | (i think) | 17:43 |
protector1981 | gnomefreak: :( | 17:44 |
ryann | BluesKaj & yofel .. thank you | 17:44 |
ryann | replacing scrollkeeper with rarian-compat seems to have resolved my apt issues | 17:45 |
gnomefreak | protector1981: comment on it other than that just have to wait. | 17:45 |
protector1981 | yes...i can only wait...or dont using karmic ;) | 17:46 |
ryann | anyone know anything about plasma-widget-network-manager?!.. version 0.1~svn951801-1 works, but anything newer (from the repositories) fails to work with wpa. there was a bug about this, which i thought was resolved. | 17:47 |
BluesKaj | !info wicd | ryann | 17:49 |
ubottu | ryann: wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.1-3 (karmic), package size 415 kB, installed size 2484 kB | 17:49 |
gnomefreak | ryann: its known at least i hear it from eagles0513875 | 17:49 |
gnomefreak | s/known/broken | 17:50 |
eagles0513875 | ryann: i reported a bug it seems to have resurfaced again but wicd and gnome network manager work fine with wpa connections | 17:50 |
eagles0513875 | not sure what is being done about it | 17:50 |
yofel | BluesKaj: last time I tried wicd here on gnome it didn't set andy DNS :( | 17:50 |
yofel | s/andy/any | 17:50 |
BluesKaj | ryann, the widget-network-manager is flaky and unstable . WPA is np on wicd | 17:51 |
eagles0513875 | yofel: you have to sent it in regards to dns or u can set dns in the resolv.conf | 17:52 |
eagles0513875 | im out for now | 17:52 |
gnomefreak | eagles0513875: have fun | 17:52 |
yofel | eagles0513875: yeah, but NM does that over dhcp | 17:52 |
yofel | wicd not it seems | 17:52 |
eagles0513875 | installing wicd removes nm and the widget | 17:53 |
eagles0513875 | if im not mistaken | 17:53 |
yofel | eagles0513875: it removes them | 17:53 |
BluesKaj | wicd is a network manager | 17:53 |
eagles0513875 | yofel: under preferences you can set the ip of the dns servers | 17:53 |
yofel | eagles0513875: that would defy the purpose of dhcp... | 17:54 |
eagles0513875 | ahhhhh wait i misunderstood | 17:54 |
eagles0513875 | yofel: im using dhcp for wifi and it works just fine here | 17:54 |
yofel | with wicd /etc/resolv.conf is empty here :/ | 17:54 |
yofel | hm, well, then I guess I'll get my LAN cable and try wicd again :P | 17:55 |
eagles0513875 | yofel: BluesKaj is wicd expert lol | 17:56 |
BluesKaj | eagles0513875, not an expert , it just works fore me both on wifi and ethernet | 17:57 |
eagles0513875 | ethernet no issues with the plasma widget | 17:57 |
eagles0513875 | only wifi | 17:57 |
BluesKaj | well, i've seen som,e probs with ethernet on widget | 17:58 |
eagles0513875 | interesting | 17:58 |
eagles0513875 | im out | 17:58 |
BluesKaj | wicd is much better on laptop wifi cards than the widget , more sensitive and stable | 17:59 |
BluesKaj | my dumb neighbour, across the street is running an unsecured network ...I told him about it but he still hasn't done anything about it and I can piggyback on his network from my basement music room | 18:01 |
yofel | BluesKaj: what do I need to tell wicd to set a DNS server over dhcp? | 18:02 |
yofel | my /etc/resolv.conf is empty | 18:03 |
yofel | the only dhcp client that's available in the settings dialog is dhclient | 18:03 |
BluesKaj | yofel, dunno i don't run a dns server...I'm just using all the automatic settings | 18:05 |
yofel | and why am I the only one in my neighbourhood that uses WPA o.O | 18:06 |
BluesKaj | wep and unsecured ? | 18:07 |
yofel | well, at least all wep | 18:07 |
yofel | not that I count that as secured | 18:07 |
BluesKaj | well, it's bit better than unsecured | 18:07 |
BluesKaj | maybe 1minute better | 18:07 |
yofel | hehe | 18:07 |
yofel | and does Alt+F2 still work for anybody with gnome+compiz ? | 18:11 |
BluesKaj | yofel, i just right click on a space on the desktop and choose the runbox from there | 18:13 |
yofel | doh, could have thought of that myself -.- | 18:14 |
BluesKaj | yofel, btw my /etc/resolve.conf has some info in it , domain gateway , search gateway and nameserver | 18:14 |
yofel | hm, maybe I should restart... It still says that it was generated my networkmanager in there | 18:15 |
BluesKaj | yeah , mine is "modified" | 18:16 |
ryann | thanks eagles0513875 , BluesKaj | 18:27 |
ryann | i will try wicd | 18:27 |
ryann | oh i see they cannot co-exist? | 18:28 |
ryann | network-manager and wicd? | 18:28 |
=== iPoRn is now known as o_portista17 | ||
scriptx | interesting.. | 18:31 |
scriptx | does wicd-client start w/the system? | 18:31 |
o_portista17 | i have a problem for quite some time now, i can't use teamspeak because when i speak, the other people, can't hear me...but i can hear them, i've tried with pulseaudio, and alsa...what could be wrong? besides me ;x | 18:32 |
BluesKaj | scriptx, yes wicd does , if installed of course...and it is a network manager on it's own | 18:34 |
scriptx | sweet. | 18:34 |
scriptx | i'll check it out at next reboot, but it's working now. | 18:34 |
scriptx | can it work from console do you know? | 18:34 |
scriptx | if i were to boot into single user mode or something, can i use the wicd daemon to connect to a saved (or new) wireless connection? | 18:35 |
BluesKaj | yes | 18:37 |
BluesKaj | scriptx, you may need to do a bit of wicd configging with the router/gateway in preferences | 18:38 |
=== scriptx is now known as ryann | ||
ryann | awesome. thanks BluesKaj | 18:39 |
BluesKaj | ryann, it's a great app | 18:39 |
ryann | helpful when something breaks after a package upgrade | 18:39 |
ryann | i actually like the plasma-widget.. but the new version is buggy and i can't rely on it | 18:40 |
BluesKaj | dunno why the network management seems almost an afterthought application as a widget | 18:41 |
ryann | do you use kde4 bk? | 18:41 |
BluesKaj | the old knetworkmanager was more difficult to setup with ndiswarapper etc , but once done it was pretty stable | 18:42 |
BluesKaj | yes ,kde 4.3 | 18:42 |
ryann | i used to just script wpa_supplicant from the terminal after having logged in | 18:45 |
ryann | i was elated when kde4 introduced the network-management widget interface | 18:45 |
BluesKaj | heh, too bad it's so flaky | 18:49 |
BluesKaj | BBL ..stuff to do | 18:53 |
yofel | hm, does ubuntu-vm-builder work for anybody? | 19:03 |

MrStein | Hi! Since I don't do much else than beta test 9.04, does it make sense to just install 9.10 and report issues there ? (for example suspend and hibernate do not work for me in 9.04) | 20:20 |
reto` | MrStein: beta test 9.04? | 20:21 |
MrStein | well, "final test" | 20:21 |
MrStein | That is : not doing anything else but reporting bugs | 20:21 |
reto` | MrStein: actually it might be better to test 9.10 and report bugs there | 20:21 |
MrStein | I thought so | 20:22 |
MrStein | do alpha update from one to next ? Over the regular update manager ? | 20:22 |
MrStein | alpha=alpha releases | 20:22 |
reto` | I think that might have a better impact on the next ubuntu to get your bugs fixed :) | 20:22 |
reto` | MrStein: yeah... you can update to the alpha through the update manager and updates you'll get like that too | 20:23 |
reto` | MrStein: see here > http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha2 | 20:25 |
reto` | actually you'll get regular updates it's not tied to a certain "alpha" | 20:28 |

billybigrig | anyone around? | 21:05 |
yofel | billybigrig: pong | 21:06 |
billybigrig | yofel: i can't seem to build nvidia modules in dkms | 21:09 |
yofel | billybigrig: huh? got headers installed? | 21:10 |
billybigrig | headers, source, and image | 21:10 |

tbtroj | To stay in the "devel release" stage, do I have to "update-manager -d" every time a new devel-release is available? | 21:13 |
billybigrig | i think i had the wrong kernel name | 21:15 |
billybigrig | cause its working nwo | 21:15 |
billybigrig | nope | 21:15 |
tbtroj | billybigrig, was that "nope" to me? | 21:16 |
billybigrig | build fails | 21:18 |
billybigrig | no to yofel | 21:18 |
mvo | tbtroj: you have to do that every 6 month when the new devel release is opened | 21:23 |
tbtroj | mvo, okay, thank you. | 21:23 |
mvo | cheers | 21:23 |
yofel | billybigrig: sry, was gone for a moment, you mean the auto dkms-build fails when installing the kernel? | 21:24 |
yofel | you didn't do somthing like compiling nvidiafb into the kernel or something like that? | 21:25 |
billybigrig | Error! DKMS tree does not contain: nvidia-2.6.31-rc3-billybigrigger-07-14 | 21:25 |
yofel | err... you do the dkms build by hand? | 21:26 |

yofel | the command for that would be 'dkms build -k <kernel-version> -m nvidia -v <nvidia-version>' | 21:27 |

billybigrig | after that command | 21:29 |
billybigrig | and i can tab complete the kernel version, module, and mod version | 21:30 |
yofel | hm wait, that sounds familiar, now what was the reason for that again... | 21:31 |
Sarvatt | hmm that sounds like the problem with kernel-package 11.015 that i had to upgrade to 11.017 to fix | 21:34 |
billybigrig | Sarvatt: got my compile time down to 42 min :P | 21:35 |
billybigrig | but now i cant use it :P | 21:35 |
Sarvatt | i think it has something to do with your kernel versioning | 21:35 |
yofel | hm, iirc when I compiled a kernel once I put it in some odd foldername in /usr/src that had nothing to do with the version number, and I think that's when I got that | 21:37 |
yofel | but that was quite a while ago so I don't remember it clearly | 21:38 |
Sarvatt | why dont you try calling it billybigrigger0714 or something instead of adding the extra dashes and dots to the different versions? | 21:39 |
billybigrig | not dots | 21:40 |
billybigrig | just billybigrigger-07-14 | 21:40 |
billybigrig | ok i could do that i guess | 21:40 |
Sarvatt | (you had dots in a previous one is why i said that) | 21:42 |
billybigrig | oh ya | 21:43 |
billybigrig | ok ill try it out | 21:43 |
MrStein1 | memtest86 does not react to ESC, is that known ? the other keys (c,space, numbers) work. | 21:44 |

yofel | hi billybigrig | 21:54 |
yofel | err... let's try again | 21:54 |
yofel | hi BUGabundo | 21:54 |

billybigrig | hah | 21:54 |
BUGabundo | heyyyy | 21:55 |
BUGabundo | new disk!! 1,5TiBs | 21:55 |
billybigrig | nice | 21:55 |
BUGabundo | I wonder what I should put it on | 21:55 |
BUGabundo | ext2 or ext4 | 21:56 |
billybigrig | ext4 | 21:56 |
BUGabundo | taking pictures of the setup too, on my new Revoltec case | 21:56 |
yofel | what reason is there to use ext2? | 21:56 |
BUGabundo | hey akgraner | 21:56 |
BUGabundo | its just a disk to use externally for LOTS of backups | 21:56 |
BUGabundo | so ext2 _should be_ as fast as ext4 | 21:57 |
BUGabundo | just not sure I need the jornaling to keep my data safe | 21:57 |
Sarvatt | that was ages ago wasnt it yofel? | 21:57 |
BUGabundo | also, not sure the win driver for ext works with ext4 | 21:57 |
yofel | BUGabundo: use journal-less ext4 if you have kernel >=2.6.29 | 21:57 |
BUGabundo | if not, I won't access it on the wind PC | 21:57 |
BUGabundo | yofel: _31 | 21:57 |
billybigrig | BUGabundo: i didn't take you for the windows type of guy | 21:58 |
billybigrig | :( | 21:58 |
yofel | BUGabundo: then use ext4 without journal if you don't want one, but the overhead really isn't that big. | 21:58 |
BUGabundo | billybigrig old pc. 512 mb of ram. hibernates in 6 sec, resumes in less then 10 | 21:59 |
BUGabundo | can't do that on Linux :(( | 21:59 |

BUGabundo | syn-ack: ahah you were one of them? | 22:20 |
BUGabundo | nope. not me | 22:20 |
syn-ack | meskes@gmail | 22:20 |
syn-ack | BUGabundo: aye | 22:20 |
BUGabundo | I don't approve anything | 22:20 |
syn-ack | aha! workie workie | 22:21 |
BUGabundo | this is takinggggg toooo longggggg | 22:21 |
BUGabundo | xfs is soooo much faster creating volumes | 22:21 |
syn-ack | BUGabundo: than? | 22:22 |
* yofel wants btrfs with transparent compression :/ | 22:22 | |
BUGabundo | syn-ack: then what? | 22:22 |
syn-ack | BUGabundo: Faster than what at creating volumes? | 22:22 |
BUGabundo | then I'll need to rsync /etc /home exclude .crypt (on encfs | 22:23 |
BUGabundo | syn-ack: xfs is much faster then ext | 22:23 |
yofel | well, ext[234] do take ages to write those inode tables... | 22:23 |
syn-ack | Aha. | 22:23 |
syn-ack | BUGabundo: I used to use XFS exclusivly till ext4 came along and I thought I'd give it a try | 22:23 |
Sarvatt | oh man, you use dm-crypt too?! you just like using everything possible just because its there to break things dont you BUGabundo? :D | 22:24 |
yofel | well, now that e4defrag seems to get usable I prefer it over XFS | 22:24 |
SwedeMike | I prefer tried and tested filesystems... like xfs. | 22:25 |
BUGabundo | yreah me too | 22:26 |
BUGabundo | this laptop is / ext3 10GBs | 22:26 |
BUGabundo | and home on XFS | 22:26 |
BUGabundo | no prob on xfs_check 300GiBs ULTRA FAST | 22:26 |
BUGabundo | Sarvatt: nope. I use encfs! been using it since gutsy | 22:26 |
BUGabundo | then it broke and I (temporarly) lost access to all my data | 22:26 |
BUGabundo | had to boot old livecd to decrypt and encrypt on new format :( | 22:26 |
BUGabundo | SwedeMike: xfs suffers from most probs ext4 suffers | 22:26 |
BUGabundo | on what it depends on the time to write to disk | 22:26 |
BUGabundo | even worse, since ext4 is beeing activly patched and xfs only gets _some_ backports latter on | 22:27 |
SwedeMike | at least the code has long time exposure to real life. | 22:27 |
BUGabundo | I wonder if colin did any progress on swap on file | 22:27 |
BUGabundo | I'll be testing it till the end of the devel cycle | 22:27 |
BUGabundo | so I HOPE it works, or I'm leaft without swap | 22:28 |
BUGabundo | let me go nag him | 22:28 |
MrStein | The timezone selection in installer is still scheisse. Worth reporting ? I believe this was reported 1 or 2 releases ago.... :-( | 22:30 |
Sarvatt | i've been using a swap file since jaunty with no problems (but i have no use for hibernation) | 22:30 |
BUGabundo | Sarvatt: but I do | 22:30 |
BUGabundo | MrStein: yeah I did a VB install today with daily, and my time zone was 1h ahead :( | 22:31 |
syn-ack | heh | 22:31 |
syn-ack | I barely have a swap | 22:31 |
BUGabundo | I have 8GiBs of it | 22:32 |
syn-ack | On a notebook? | 22:32 |
BUGabundo | 4G of RAM | 22:33 |
BUGabundo | so 2x that | 22:33 |
yofel | why that? | 22:34 |
billybigrig | the 2x ram for swap is not needed anymore BUGabundo | 22:34 |
syn-ack | thats the golden rule | 22:34 |
billybigrig | that's old school, where systems only had 512mb - 1gb of ram | 22:34 |
BUGabundo | BUAAA | 22:34 |
syn-ack | yeah? | 22:34 |
billybigrig | 8 gb of swap is wayyyyy tooo much :P | 22:34 |
yofel | I have 4GiB RAM on my notebook too with 4,5GiB swap for when I use hibernate sometimes | 22:34 |
yofel | but more is just waste of disk space | 22:34 |
syn-ack | leave BUGabundo alone, he's hardcore. :p | 22:35 |
BUGabundo | cjwaton says he has no idea on how swap on file is right now or if it works :(( | 22:35 |
BUGabundo | billybigrig care to let me know how to put 4G or FULL RAM into disk? | 22:35 |
syn-ack | the only reason I only have 100 megs instead of 1 gig is that I forgot a zero. :p | 22:35 |
BUGabundo | try to use my email client | 22:35 |
BUGabundo | and see it SUCK 1G or ram | 22:35 |
BUGabundo | and another for pidgin | 22:35 |
yofel | the only things that eat up ram here are ffx kvm and gnome-do(memleak) | 22:36 |
BUGabundo | http://paste.ubuntu.com/218330/ gparted log woot | 22:37 |
yofel | at least suspend and hibernate actually *work* on my thinkpad now with karmic, and I've been using ubuntu on it since gutsy | 22:37 |
BUGabundo | no mem leak for me up until now | 22:38 |
BUGabundo | the only one I know of is a µblog purple plugin for pidin | 22:38 |
BUGabundo | Sarvatt: can you test hibernate right now? | 22:38 |
yofel | BUGabundo: I once found gnome-do using 1.6g RES - that's a memleak for me | 22:39 |
BUGabundo | maybe a bad plygin? | 22:39 |
BUGabundo | try to remove them and enable one at a time | 22:39 |
BUGabundo | I don't so it can be some plugin you have and I don't | 22:39 |
BUGabundo | or 32 vs 64 bits | 22:40 |
BUGabundo | /dev/sdb1 1 182401 1465136001 83 Linux | 22:40 |
BUGabundo | now the rsync | 22:40 |
yofel | well, I'll try that and report the results tomorrow I guess | 22:41 |
BUGabundo | rsync -vrhP --stats | 22:41 |
BUGabundo | tomorrow will be a bit to late for me | 22:41 |
BUGabundo | ahah | 22:41 |
BUGabundo | sent 56.01M bytes received 48.06K bytes 3.62M bytes/sec | 22:42 |
yofel | BUGabundo: it's not like gnome-do reaches 1g ram usage within minutes :P | 22:42 |
BUGabundo | gotta love rsync | 22:42 |
BUGabundo | 23571 bugabund 122m 23m 381m 20 0 S 0.5 3.1 0:58.69 /usr/bin/cli /usr/lib/gnome-do/Do.exe | 22:43 |
BUGabundo | what's yours? | 22:43 |
BUGabundo | how do I exclude a path from rsycn? I don't want to rsync my .crypt dir | 22:44 |
yofel | 23019 yofel 20 0 564m 271m 23m S 0 6.8 0:19.85 gnome-do | 22:44 |
Sarvatt | hmm | 22:45 |
Sarvatt | invoke-rc.d: initscript bluetooth, action "stop" failed. | 22:45 |
Sarvatt | dpkg: warning: old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 | 22:45 |
Sarvatt | dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ... | 22:45 |
Sarvatt | invoke-rc.d: initscript bluetooth, action "stop" failed. | 22:45 |
BUGabundo | Sarvatt: ahaah | 22:45 |
BUGabundo | (nautilus:501): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Unable to connect to the running instance, aborting. | 22:47 |
BUGabundo | can't open nautilus with sudo | 22:48 |
BUGabundo | haah | 22:48 |
Sarvatt | why you trying to open nautilus with sudo? | 22:49 |
Sarvatt | hmm works here | 22:50 |
MrStein | On what is the keyboard layout suggestion in installation step 3 based ? | 22:50 |
BUGabundo | Sarvatt: worse: as root | 22:52 |
MrStein | Jesus, there is a bug on every page of the installer.... :-p | 22:52 |
BUGabundo | ah? | 22:52 |
MrStein | step 3 : the world map is too small to make accurate selection, especiall in dense areas, like Europe | 22:53 |
MrStein | step 4: is suggests USA kbd layout, even if other layout is used in the country selected in step 3 | 22:54 |
MrStein | step 5 : there is a warning icon (triangle with exclamation sign), but no explanation, what it is warning about | 22:54 |
MrStein | (I did not reach step 6 yet) | 22:54 |
billybigrig | BUGabundo: did you send me an invite to u1? | 22:55 |
yofel | wasn't the keyboard preselect based on what language you choosed when booting the live image? | 22:55 |
BUGabundo | darn... can't make rsync exclude | 22:55 |
BUGabundo | billybigrig not yet | 22:55 |
billybigrig | roger | 22:55 |
billybigrig | BUGabundo: no worries | 22:55 |
BUGabundo | doing it now | 22:56 |
billybigrig | dont worry | 22:56 |
billybigrig | is u1 installed via ppa or what? | 22:56 |
BUGabundo | will I try to figure why --exclude=/home/bugabundo/.crypt doesn't work :( | 22:56 |
BUGabundo | yes | 22:56 |
BUGabundo | both aways | 22:56 |
yofel | don't remember which page it was, but I don't quite get why ubiquity whows 2 partition graphs on the partitioning page | 22:57 |
BUGabundo | either PPA ( best way to get karmic one ) | 22:57 |
BUGabundo | ot their site, with apt-url and you get jaunty one | 22:57 |
yofel | s/whows/shows | 22:57 |
BUGabundo | that works the same | 22:57 |
BUGabundo | billybigrig sent! welcome to the cloud | 22:58 |
billybigrig | BUGabundo: thanks :P | 22:58 |
BUGabundo | come on! all this ppl here at least one KNOWS how to exclude from rsync | 22:59 |
billybigrig | linux-headers-2.6.31-rc3-billybigrigger0714_2.6.31-rc3-billybigrigger0714-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb | 23:05 |

billybigrig | why does it appened -billybigrigger0714 twice? | 23:06 |
catharcyst | ubuntu karmic keeps rejecting my pasword when i run update manager | 23:07 |
catharcyst | so i can't update using the gui | 23:07 |
yofel | catharcyst: when did you last install updates? | 23:07 |
catharcyst | yesterday i believe yofel | 23:08 |
BUGabundo | catharcyst: known bug | 23:09 |
yofel | there was some breakage in libgksu yesterday iirc, so check if you get an update for libgksu in terminal | 23:09 |
catharcyst | ok will do thanks yofel | 23:10 |
BUGabundo | catharcyst: and remember your mirror may still be behind main | 23:11 |
catharcyst | apparently i dont have libgksu | 23:11 |
BUGabundo | so check your sources and versions available | 23:11 |
catharcyst | k BUGabundo | 23:11 |
BUGabundo | with apt-cache policy libgksu | 23:11 |
catharcyst | k | 23:11 |
billybigrig | stupd dkms | 23:12 |
billybigrig | i still can't build that nvidia module | 23:12 |
billybigrig | same error | 23:12 |
catharcyst | not available | 23:12 |
yofel | catharcyst: libgksu2-0 | 23:13 |
catharcyst | k | 23:13 |
catharcyst | yofel that fixed it | 23:16 |
catharcyst | thanks a lot | 23:16 |
Q-FUNK | about bug #399482 the real issue is that prerm doesn't have any case/esac loop to catch dpkg commands (upgrade|failed-upgrade, etc.) | 23:17 |
ubottu | Launchpad bug 399482 in bluez "bluez: upgrade from 4.45-0ubuntu1 to 4.45-0ubuntu2 fails" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/399482 | 23:17 |
BUGabundo | eheh | 23:18 |
BUGabundo | glad I haven't done todays updates | 23:18 |
BUGabundo | hehe | 23:18 |
Q-FUNK | :) | 23:18 |
Q-FUNK | it indeed seems to have been a messy one | 23:18 |
catharcyst | hehe | 23:18 |
Q-FUNK | nothing major, but somewhat hasty packaging, for some packages | 23:19 |
=== catharcyst is now known as seeds | ||
BUGabundo | Q-FUNK: and I know you did it | 23:19 |
syn-ack | speaking of which | 23:20 |
* syn-ack downloads the dailies | 23:20 | |
syn-ack | from yesterday. heh | 23:21 |
BUGabundo | I just do my rsyncs from daily images | 23:22 |
BUGabundo | usually I get 100-150MiBs | 23:22 |
Q-FUNK | BUGabundo: :D | 23:23 |
Q-FUNK | nah, but I've been quite busy with 'ubuntu-bug' | 23:24 |
BUGabundo | yeah I would love to have the time for it | 23:24 |
Q-FUNK | here, it's just that I have one host running karmic, mostly because I need to anticipate for possible showstoppers that would break support for Geode-based hardware | 23:26 |
BUGabundo | I know | 23:26 |
BUGabundo | that's a good thing | 23:26 |
BUGabundo | if *everyone* tested their prob *early* many would be in good state on release | 23:26 |
BUGabundo | or not..... we would be overworked | 23:27 |
Q-FUNK | I just happen to catch unreleated issues whenever 'upgrade-system' drags in broken packages, at which point I go 'ubuntu-bug' trigger happy. ;) | 23:27 |
Q-FUNK | testing early is easy enough. the difficulty is testing, only to find that whatever package you reported against has been rebased with a newer release. then, often, people are simply asked to try the new one, instead of anyone bothering with the initial bug report. | 23:29 |
MrStein | alpha2 does not boot on my PC, thanks good, otherwise I would be testing it til the morning (it is midnight here) :-) | 23:33 |
billybigrig | BUGabundo: get your webcam working yeT? | 23:33 |
syn-ack | alright, upload the rebuild of bluez already. :P | 23:33 |
BUGabundo | nope | 23:33 |
BUGabundo | miss match with gspca | 23:34 |
Q-FUNK | syn-ack: funny you mention that one. filed two bugs against it today :) | 23:34 |
syn-ack | aye, I saw 'em. :P | 23:34 |
BUGabundo | I give you guys a single change to guess what's taking longer on my rsync to a new disk ! ahah | 23:36 |
BUGabundo | no one will get it | 23:36 |
Q-FUNK | disk writes? | 23:41 |
syn-ack | Q-FUNK: I was expecting the bluez bug since I knew about it going into it, its the bugs that I dont know about that worry me. :P | 23:43 |
billybigrig | anyone have any good suggestions for hosting bootcharts? like a decent front end php script or something similar? | 23:46 |
BUGabundo | er? | 23:46 |
BUGabundo | I just upload my png to my zenphoto galery on my server | 23:47 |
BUGabundo | you can even use dropbox to share it | 23:47 |
BUGabundo | eheh | 23:47 |
billybigrig | i got nothing on my server | 23:47 |
billybigrig | plain jane apache | 23:47 |
billybigrig | zenphoto gallery, maybe ill check that out | 23:47 |
syn-ack | How long does it take the updated package take to actually propagate through the update system before its available for download from the repo network? | 23:49 |
syn-ack | I'd assume its a matter of hours, no? | 23:49 |
BUGabundo | or less | 23:49 |
BUGabundo | depends on the package and load on the builders | 23:50 |
syn-ack | ah | 23:50 |
syn-ack | w00t. Uncle Milty's on Little House | 23:51 |
* syn-ack loves Uncle Milty. One of the best actors of all time... | 23:51 |
