[10:33] tried to restart it? 'sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart' [10:34] no [10:34] I have restarted my laptop [10:34] you should also check if you get any errors in dmesg or /var/log/syslog [10:35] ok [10:43] can you send me metwork manager package to avoid future crashes [10:43] I've upgraded my notebook to karmic and now after the login, I've only my desktop background, no panels, etc. has someone an idea what I've broken? [10:43] ares4you: As I don't know *why* your network doesn't work I can't help you much [10:44] ok [10:45] a from where can I download an older version of network manage? [10:45] manager` [10:46] ares4you: you could save the dmesg and the /var/log/syslog files somewhere and pastebin them with your working connection [10:46] like that we might be able to help you [10:46] as to where to get the older packages I don't know, sry [10:48] geser: not sure, if right click still works you could add a launcher to start 'gnome-panel' or 'nautilus' [10:48] or ask again later when the others come back [10:50] now is ok! I have reinstalled my ubuntu and now I am running 9.04 not 9.10 [10:50] yofel: right-clicking doesn't work, but I can start the gnome-panel from the normal terminal and it appears. I've also to start metacity else the windows don't have any titlebar.

Where I can change GDM settings? [11:02] kkszysiu: by hand, there is no GUI config tool for the new gdm yet [11:03] yofel: I've checked and it's running [11:03] yofel: I get my custom wallpaper and network-manager asks me for my keyring password but that's all what happens [11:03] geser: it fails to load at least one module as seen in line 2, as to *which* module I don't know [11:04] kkszysiu: there is no GUI for it yet [11:04] yofel: will try to find out what it is [11:27] no cd writer is working from live image [11:28] nautilus shows blank cd but brasero says there is not cd [11:28] help?? [11:28] i am using karmic alpha3 [11:31] bazhang: now? [11:31] om26er, have you tried others [11:32] yes xcd roast [11:32] and gnomebaker [11:32] does anyone know how to prevent the policykit authorizations from prompting each startup *but* still allow access to drives? the authorizations settings dont seem to have any effect [11:32] om26er, like gnomebaker [11:33] when using an alpha it is assumed you can HELP yourself? [11:33] om26er, what about burning from nautilus, does that work [11:33] nautilus shows that there is a blank cd-r but the writing software say there is no drive [11:33] om26er, hmm may be a bug [11:33] but that again goes to brasero and an error occurs [11:34] any1 else????? [11:35] om26er: Not regarding the cd, but did you get your Grub2 issue solved from the other day? [11:35] no [11:36] If you remind me what it was perhaps I could help.

[17:48] no [17:48] hmm [17:48] thats what i said too..lol [17:49] well i thought that maybe grub wasn't seeing it in /boot [17:49] which it is [17:49] you could manually boot that image [17:50] oldude67, or i could tell you how to make a custom entry in grub [17:50] oldude67, what have you got in /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?, the linux-images should be listed there as well [17:51] BluesKaj, hold on a sec and ill tell ya.. [17:51] boot to ya mothers pussy [17:52] BluesKaj, if it doesn't show up there, it's easy to add a new entry in /etc/grub.d/ [17:52] billybigrigger, ok , lemme look [17:53] oldude67, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#User-defined%20Entries [17:54] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 has alot of useful reading :P [17:54] !grub2 [17:54] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [17:54] ooh nice :P [17:55] oldude67, what vbox problems are you having? [17:56] oldude67, billybigrigger, the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file is editable so one can add another OS/Partition if grub somehow misses it or after a new OS install [17:56] oldude67, are they related to this kernel problem? ie. dkms not being able to build the modules? [17:56] http://pastebin.com/d5ce3a61a [17:56] BluesKaj, no it's not editable :P [17:56] BluesKaj, creating menu entries in /etc/grub.d/ then running update-grub [17:57] well, i did , yeah , of one updates [17:57] course [17:57] anyway .. [17:57] i don't understand why you can't boot that kernel :( [17:57] oldude67, might have to ask in #grub [17:57] show them your pastebins [17:58] oldude67, try dropping to the grub command line [17:58] i am downloading the alpha 3 release [17:58] and boot the kernel manually would be my next suggestion [17:58] the kernel module corrupted? [17:58] heh knowing my luck the whole system is fubarred...lol [17:59] why do you have 3 different -4 kernels? [17:59] only have a little bit of music on this as its my test box anyways...so if worse comes to worse ill just install the alpha 3 from cd and start from scratch. [18:00] -pae -generic and -386 [18:00] idk..lol [18:00] hmm [18:00] your running a2 right now? [18:01] well i thought i was running a3 from doing updates but it hasnt given me the -4 kernel so probably an abomination of the 2 [18:02] if your fully updated your running a3 [18:02] to be honest i still don't have -4 either :P [18:03] ya ive been keeping up with the updates, hoping it would fix the problem [18:03] The following packages have been kept back: [18:03] chromium-browser ffmpeg libpurple0 linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic [18:03] pidgin ubuntu-minimal usb-creator [18:03] so i'm thinking you forced the upgrade of the kernel when you shouldn't have [18:04] dont know how i did that as i dont even know how to force something [18:04] if it updates it updates..if it dont i wait [18:04] 32bit or 64bit? [18:04] 32 [18:04] hmm [18:05] may install 9.04 and run karmic in vbox and see what happens. [18:05] well getting you the -4 kernel isn't hard [18:06] so far its been sucking..lmao [18:06] http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.31-rc4/ [18:06] download headers, source, and image [18:06] then sudo dpkg -i them [18:06] easy :P [18:07] ok ill try that before i do a restart...but have to wait a minute for the alpha 3 to finish downloading first. [18:07] only have about 25% left to download [18:08] $ wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.31-rc4/linux-headers-2.6.31-020631rc4-generic_2.6.31-020631rc4_i386.deb && wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.31-rc4/linux-image-2.6.31-020631rc4-generic_2.6.31-020631rc4_i386.deb && wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.31-rc4/linux-source-2.6.31_2.6.31-020631rc4_all.deb [18:08] then....

[18:10] :) [18:11] copy & paste [18:11] SeveredCross, um ya ok fur why [18:11] my copy and paste doesnt work in xchat [18:11] ??? highlight the text and middle click into the terminal [18:12] ah ok... lol i didnt know that one...yeah..lol [18:12] :P [18:12] ill have to remember that one. [18:13] quicker than right clicking, copy, then right clicking paste :P [18:13] or ctrl c and v [18:13] you got that right... [18:13] super quick and easy :P [18:13] heh, i still use ctrl c and v [18:13] why type all that? just dump them into a seperate folder and run dpkg -i *.deb [18:15] yofel, always having to one up a guy eh? :P haha [18:15] yup :P [18:15] hey dont confuzzle me im messed up enough..lmao [18:16] yofel, pls explain that one, i'm confused too :) [18:17] yofel, i think i kind of understand what you are talking about as i think i have done something like that in slackware before. [18:17] create a folder, go in there, wget the files (or move them there somhow) in that folder, run 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb' , that will install all .deb files in that folder [18:18] the seperate folder is to make sure you don't install any other .deb files than the ones you want [18:20] yofel, cool , gotcha :) [18:20] billybigrigger, um got an error...ugh [18:22] http://pastebin.com/d141df5c4 [18:24] cd /lib/modules/ [18:24] ls -la [18:24] where does build > point to?

I cant the old data now as its encrypted, anyone got any suggestions or document how to unencrypt this? [19:08] My auto hiding side panel won't unhide in kubuntu! When I mouse over it, I just see a tiny sliver of it, like it's empty, and can't click on it or configure it or anything! [19:08] stefanlsd, how have you encrypted home? [19:08] this after I rebooted btw...I just made my bottom panel autohide and it's working fine [19:10] kklimonda, well, my current home is not the problem. Before i installed karmic, i did a mv of /home/stefan to /home/stefan.upgrade. Then karmic installed. so /home/stefan/.Private on /home/stefan type ecryptfs. Which is fine. I need /home/stefan.upgrade which is encypted... [19:12] why is it encrypted? [19:12] stefanlsd, was stefan.upgrade also encrypted using ecryptfs ? [19:12] ohhh nevermind i read that wrong [19:13] hi people [19:13] kklimonda, yeah, must of been :) was default jaunty option... [19:13] ive been trying to use karmic since alpha 2, but my wireless network card is not working [19:13] it is a 3945abg nic from intel [19:13] stefanlsd, when you create ecryptfs store you get a key and an information that you should keep it safe [19:13] is there any solution as of now? [19:14] kroson, searching forums would be a good start [19:14] it's called mount passphrase [19:14] id really like to use this version because of the kernel [19:14] billybigrigger: no luck xD [19:14] kklimonda, i am pretty sure i know the passphrase i entered... is it possible to decrypt with that alone, or do i need the other stuff also? [19:15] kroson, not much knowledge of wireless here [19:15] but is it listed in lspci and is the module loaded? [19:16] hmm im not with ubuntu now, but i think yes [19:16] My intel 3945 works fine in Karmic. [19:17] stefanlsd, one way or another (either /home was encrypted using ecryptfs or the other option - frankly I haven't done it in years) passphrase itself isn't enough [19:17] Pici: have you installed some different driver than the default? [19:17] and how long has it been working? [19:17] kroson: Nope. its using the iwl3945 module. [19:17] kklimonda, k. thanks. I did a rsync before installing, so i still have the data. (thankfully!) [19:17] stefanlsd, then you are one lucky son of a @#$% ;} [19:17] kroson: Forever. [19:17] Pici: how long has it been working? and 32 or 64-bit? [19:17] kroson: 32bit. [19:18] kklimonda, hehe. yeah! [19:18] did it work by default? it is strange [19:18] kroson: Yep. This was an upgrade from Jaunty though. [19:19] i remember doing an upgrade from jaunty, it broke the wireless as well [19:20] its weird that nobody has this problem at the forums, it may be a specific hardware issue [19:20] at jaunty it worked very well [19:21] DanaG: oh, update-manager crashes? I think I know what the problem is ... [19:21] For me, I had to install the python aptdaemon gtk interface. [19:22] DanaG: yeah, the auto-detection code for that is b0rken :/ it tests for aptd, but not the python bindings [19:27] DanaG: fixed in bzr [19:27] Cool. [19:28] Nice, so doing that aptdaemon thing gives a different authentication UI. [19:29] DanaG: its a dbus based interface (using policykit), with some nice properties [19:29] Though the "Applying Change" window is now rather ugly. [19:29] www.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/Screenshot-Applying%20changes.png [19:30] its still relatively early in developerment, that is hopefully going to change so that it looks better :) [19:30] www.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/Screenshot-Applying%20changes-1.png [19:30] It's stopped there. Have to click "Details" to see why. [19:30] DanaG: oh, thats a bug [19:31] DanaG: do you have apt-listchanges installed? [19:31] www.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/Screenshot-Applying%20changes-2.png [19:31] Yeah. [19:31] Why does update-manager not give the VT to apps? It makes 'less' work poorly when viewing a conffile diff, too. [19:31] er, s/VT/console/ [19:33] DanaG: update-manager uses a vte terminal when dpkg is forked, in theory it could re-use the current terminal window (if that is what you mean). but that would be impratical when its started from e..g the menu [19:34] What I mean is that the embedded terminal "is not fully functional", as dpkg claims. [19:34] DanaG, looks like a bug to me [19:34] DanaG: ah, I misunderstood then. I think in this case you hit a bug, it should be as good as the gnome-terminal [19:34] (its the same widget) [19:34] Odd. [19:35] DanaG: could you please report that against the package "aptdaemon" ? [19:35] DanaG: and include that apt-listchanges was used? [19:35] actually, that's not aptdaemon specifically at fault there -- it's been like that for me always. [19:35] The "not fully functional", I mean. [19:35] Same thing happens on a conffile prompt, even in Jaunty. [19:35] oh interessting. do you have a special TERM= setting in your config? [19:36] $TERM is just 'xterm' (quotes not part of it, of course.) [19:36] well, that's what a separate gnome-terminal reports. [19:36] How do I make 'less' spawn a shell, so I can do that within update-manager? [19:38] to debug the problem? you could create a package that spawns a shell in its postinst and install that (or run env in the postinst to see what TERM looks like there) [19:39] oh yeah, and the terminal also doesn't have job-control.... pressing ctrl-z just gives a literal ^Z. [19:39] I know dpkg blocks ctrl-z, but normally, you don't get that character, at least. [19:43] DanaG: sorry, I can check this out tomorrow (its getting late here). I would be interessted if you have the same problem without aptdaemon, for now I suspect its just a bug there - but if not, then I wonder if the "normal" synaptic based progress in update-manager shows the same message [19:43] I'll try next time I boot back to Jaunty, if that'd help. [19:44] yeah, that would be good [19:45] ooh, I got a conffile change... so now I can 'Z' it. [19:45] how do i change the xboot when i install 9.10 on restart i cant see 9.04 and vista only a blue screen with 9.10 [19:46] DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE=system PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin LANG=en_US.UTF8 DEBIAN_FRONTEND=passthrough DPKG_NO_TSTP=yes DEBCONF_PIPE=/tmp/aptdaemon-hqmo_v/debconf.socket PWD=/ DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS=unix:path=/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket,guid=9d3dec38376c01ad15723a944a6f207b [19:46] Replaced each line break with 16 spaces.

[19:48] DanaG: I guess that is (at least part of) the bug then [19:49] Either that, or the 'z' didn't hand the env. But the conffile diff thing also reports the "is not fully functional".

[21:56] Backed mine up on two different systems, and managed to delete both once [21:56] yeah, It's backed up, but the backup is stored on another pc [21:57] how? deleted it and then synced the backup? :P [21:57] AYYYYYYY yofel [21:57] hi BUGabundo [21:57] I used to run BZR on those things [21:57] need otom ake one again [21:58] No, simply reinstalled on one system, then on the other [21:58] ouch [21:58] eheh [21:58] I forgot to backup my 5 yo cheat codes [21:59] I have backups... but I don't have backups of the backups.

[22:26] I'm running 9.04 with my kernel upgraded to 30.3, and really prefer the performance leap with ext4 so just seeing how cautious I need to be [22:27] It's always a good idea to do backups, anyway. [22:27] I did not see any performance boots [22:27] Storage is relatively cheap nowadays. [22:27] really, I did not [22:28] but I was using XFS already [22:28] Back in Jaunty, I saw a large improvement going ext3->ext4, especially in terms of boot time. [22:29] yeah I first installed as a test on ext3 and then reformatted and isntalled with ext4 and I boot and load in almost no time flat [22:29] DanaG: clean install from / ext3 to ext4 I reduced from 30 to 19 secs boot to GDM [22:29] but on /home with XFS I see no extra performance, now with ext4 [22:29] and the performance compared to ntfs is even better ;) Microsoft really needs to update their filesystem [22:31] ntfs-3g sucks in terms of performance. [22:31] according to phoronix.com ext3 still is faster than ext4 [22:31] When I'm copying SATA -> SATA, and getting 5 megabytes per second.... yeah, that sucks. [22:31] i'm just talking ntfs under windows :) [22:31] not through ntfs-3g [22:32] saving and loading a large spreadsheet I was working on in windows took about 10-15 second takes about 1-2 with ext4 in 9.04 [22:32] DanaG: for me any external disk to external disk [22:32] on what ever FS [22:32] is SLOWWWW [22:33] why is OOo so much faster on debian then on ubuntu? [22:33] what is the speed of the HD? and is it usb 2.0? [22:33] my work pc takes like <3 secs to open [22:33] here takes like 10 sec [22:33] OO.o runs quite fast for me in 9.04 [22:33] 6 secs to spash, 12.5 sec to open Writer [22:33] :( [22:34] weird [22:34] hello everyone [22:34] let me time it real fast [22:35] <3 seconds to open a spreadsheet from oo.o being closed [22:35] no idea why my system is so slow [22:35] its a fresh install [22:35] hey nhasian [22:35] 32 or 64bit kernel?

[22:40] don't [22:40] ppl seem to be nitting to PAE now :( [22:41] even to joker here, kklimonda [22:41] * kklimonda nods [22:41] now that pae kernel is in archive I see no reason to use 64 bit system ;) [22:41] * nhasian laughs [22:42] i'm just using 32bit as certain application I use are questionable in 64bit and I don't want to be running dual libraries to run some programs, the performance i'de gain from 64bit on this laptop isn't that great [22:43] My external drive is eSATA, so it's natively fast. [22:43] But ntfs-3g is dog-slow. [22:43] In Windows, I can get, oh, at least 50 megabytes per second. [22:43] if only windows could read ext4 :p [22:44] duncan__, it can't? there are drivers for ext3 [22:44] kklimonda: The default enabled features for ext4 prevent mounting as ext3. [22:44] that was odd... I started gnome login, then switched to tty0... and then when I switched back, it claimed I wasn't 'permitted' to mount a usb disk thingy. [22:44] not that i've seen, there may be some out now [22:44] DanaG: can you try external to external please? [22:44] yet, when I clicked on it... it mounted. [22:44] There is an ext3 driver, but it just complains about unsupported features if you try to mount ext4. [22:44] I only have one eSATA port, and that drive is not on hand at the moment. [22:44] DanaG: the rfkill command in rc.local didnt work:( [22:44] Dang. [22:45] Perhaps the module hadn't loaded yet? [22:45] DanaG: it can even be two usb sticks!!!

[23:27] and I'm guessing that if I just pull the thing out of the USB port... it'll lock up. [23:27] BluesKaj: scroll wheel???? [23:28] I just hit fn+scrlk [23:28] on the mouse , to rotate the cube [23:28] hmm, now it's working, or so it seems. [23:29] BluesKaj: I don't use the scroll [23:29] lolol [23:29] I use ctrl+alt+drag [23:29] and I timed screenshot of 2 secs [23:34] damnit, it did it again. [23:34] Blocked all input devices. [23:35] Including ACPI ones. But yet, the little CPU usage thingy in my panel was still working. [23:35] oh, and: gnome-session[3793]: WARNING: Unable to find provider 'compiz' of required component 'windowmanager' === BUGabundo1 is now known as BUGabundo [23:38] grrr [23:39] took me 4 tries [23:39] but manage to make -4 crash with my 3G modem [23:41] oh yeah, and trying to efi-boot... results in not finding initramfs/. [23:42] I also get /proc/cmdline: no such file or directory [23:44] BUGabundo, not quite as fancy as yours but like this ? http://imagebin.ca/view/YYp3wFMe.html [23:47] am I the only one who like the minimal effects that come as default? :p [23:47] whoooooooooo nice [23:47] duncan__: yes :P [23:49] well crap ;) [23:49] haha [23:50] hmm, I wonder whall all we will have in 10.04, seeing as it is the next LTS [23:50] what* [23:50] just more stability fixes i guess [23:50] maybe a fully stable compiz version 1.0 ;) [23:51] duncan__: MUAAAAUUA [23:51] especially one that doesn't destroy itself when it gets introduced to wine :) [23:52] compositing + wine = bad [23:52] here are my settings: www.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/Dana_Compiz.profile [23:52] atm anyways [23:52] Wine audio == bad, too. [23:52] duncan__, so far so good in karmic ....compiz seems to run fine on the newest kde 4 too [23:53] BluesKaj, well that is good to hear, and I always found it weird that kubuntu uses compiz instead of kwin [23:56] but for wine I usually avoid all issues by setting up a separate xserver that doesn't load a DE [23:56] duncan__, there is a choice but I don't much effects with kwin . Not that I use it much . mainly to impress friends and relatives :) [23:56] get much [23:56] whiz-bang stuff [23:57] BluesKaj, hehe yeah, I just use the default effects that add to usability, alot of the fancy stuff I stay away from as it just distracts me [23:58] wobbly windows and some transparency is ok [23:59] Take a read of my settings in browser. [23:59] W7 has wobblies too I think [23:59] Nope. [23:59] I use WIn7 on my desktop and no wobblies [23:59] Normal-window: open is dream, close is sidekick. Min/UnMin is Lamp. Menus are Vacuum.
