[00:55] <Mike_lifeguard> When I unplug my laptop, it immediately suspends. I didn't see a setting for this in gnome-powermanager... suggestions?
[00:56] <DVA5912> cant be too desolate... ohh it is
[00:57] <Mike_lifeguard> DVA5912: not even a chanserv, so lonely :D
[00:57] <DVA5912> I know. Thats sad
[00:57] <DVA5912> :P
[00:58] <DVA5912> ok well i guess this is the appropreate chan. Anyway of forcing my wifi light to come on when wireless connects?
[00:58] <DVA5912> right now im having to do it by hand by pressing the hardware key buttons
[00:59] <Mike_lifeguard> khazil: the battery is charged just fine, and it is detected as such
[00:59] <khazil> Mike_lifeguard: what is the suspend threshold set to?
[00:59] <Mike_lifeguard> I don't know... default?
[00:59] <Mike_lifeguard> and... it's 100% charged, so it /shouldn't/ matter
[01:00] <Mike_lifeguard> (unless it got set to 100% somehow... I've never changed it, I think)
[01:00] <khazil> you may have to remove faulty ACPI modules
[01:00] <khazil> does that happen with any other distro?
[01:00] <Mike_lifeguard> I only use ubuntu
[01:01] <DVA5912> hey do they make powered by ubuntu stickers to put on my notebook? you know, like the ones that windows got
[01:01] <DVA5912> id love to just yank off that designed for windows xp sticker
[01:01] <Mike_lifeguard> DVA5912: there probably is some hacky way to do that... no idea how, but just so you know, it is probably possible (though it may be ugly a/dor difficult)
[01:01] <Mike_lifeguard> and yes, I have some
[01:02] <Mike_lifeguard> zareason sells them... zareason.com I think
[01:02] <khazil> Mike_lifeguard: do you have some kind of kernel log from previous boot?
[01:02] <Mike_lifeguard> erm, probably, but I dunno where it'd be :)
[01:02] <khazil> Mike_lifeguard: I wouldn't trust the readout, even if it says it's fully charged
[01:03] <Mike_lifeguard> no, it *is* fully charged, it's been plugged in for a very long time (and the meter seems accurate as the batter discharges)
[01:03] <khazil> Mike_lifeguard: zcat /var/log/dmesg.1.gz
[01:03] <khazil> Mike_lifeguard: pastebin that
[01:04] <khazil> Mike_lifeguard: wait, I thought you said the system suspended as soon as it was unplugged. Now, you say it discharges for a while?
[01:04] <Mike_lifeguard> well, I can wake it back up of course
[01:04] <khazil> and it stays on?
[01:05] <Mike_lifeguard> yes, it works just fine
[01:05] <Mike_lifeguard> khazil: http://p.defau.lt/?BfoPzo9J_6GANRvZiI23gw
[01:06] <khazil> you might also want to paste just /var/log/dmesg, since I'm not sure how system logs are handled after suspend
[01:06] <Mike_lifeguard> sure
[01:08] <Mike_lifeguard> that one is http://p.defau.lt/?tBUTmR9Y8GbhTpJ247_07Q
[01:12] <khazil> Mike_lifeguard: I can't find any reference to "suspend" in the entire log
[01:13] <Mike_lifeguard> I was looking for 'battery' or something :)
[01:13] <khazil> is this with Ubuntu 9.04?
[01:15] <Mike_lifeguard> yes
[01:15] <Mike_lifeguard> though using 2.6.30 kernel
[01:16] <khazil> what about before the kernel change?
[01:19] <khazil> I take it you never tried it.. are you committed to it by having an ext4 filesystem?
[01:20] <Mike_lifeguard> no, I also have a .13 kernel.
[01:20] <khazil> and there is the same bug?
[01:20] <Mike_lifeguard> however, this hasn't been an issue until the last ~3 days and I've been using this kernel for over a month
[01:21] <khazil> any recent upgrades?]
[01:21] <Mike_lifeguard> hmm, yes... is there a log of that anywhere? otherwise, we may be stretching my memory :D
[01:21] <khazil> chances are it's a hardware bug (my bet), or a threshold somewhere
[01:22] <khazil> /var/log/dpkg.log
[01:24] <khazil> I had an issue a while back, hardware related, where pressing caps lock a few times would completely crash the kernel
[01:24] <Mike_lifeguard> hah, exciting!
[01:25] <khazil> changing a few variables made it work, but running proprietary Unix (yeah, on a netbook) worked fine too
[01:26] <khazil> kernel programming is no joke, and just because it's been in there since 1991 without any changes doesn't mean it's stable...
[01:27] <Mike_lifeguard> $ cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep "status installed" > ~/thing.txt   ->  http://p.defau.lt/?tSCBU343nqYRrz0R_zc0kg
[01:29] <Mike_lifeguard> hm, dbus?
[01:29] <khazil> nothing in there looks power management related or gnome related
[01:30] <khazil> run without dbus, but I would suspect HAL
[01:30] <khazil> first I'd try with the older kernel, to rule out some kind of quirk
[01:31] <Mike_lifeguard> yeah... doing stuff in other windows, but I'll boot into it later
[01:33] <khazil> if that fails, I'd try with a Live CD to see if it's some kind of misconfiguration (which also may be caused by a bad package, not uncommon)
[03:53] <Cronzo> can anybody help a ubuntu noob? trying to get hotkeys to work on a vaio vgn-fs
[06:59] <linuxNoob> Can somebody help me? I have a sony vgn-cr220e with ubuntu jaunty and I cant find a way to make the internal mic work
[07:00] <linuxNoob> please some help
[07:00] <linuxNoob> I've tried to google some of this but no luck at all
