cbhlor, freeze, rather.00:04
penguin42never good00:05
cbhlI don't have a serial console; unfortunately... so with no SSH and no keyboard; all I can do is reboot and tinker with Xorg.conf again...00:10
* cbhl shrugs00:10
penguin42nod00:10
alteregoai got some spaghetti charset with cygwin00:13
alteregoalocale is utf-800:14
vasuviI just installed Karmic Alpha 3, and am unused to the way that GRUB 2 does things.  Namely, as it discourages manual editing of grub.cfg, how to get it to "know" that the drive its on should be (hd2) instead of the (hd4) it thinks it is?00:36
penguin42vasuvi: Interesting I think I'm still on grub 1 ?00:37
penguin42seem to be00:37
vasuvipenguin42: Easy way to tell: do you have a menu.lst, grub.conf, or grub.cfg file in your /boot/grub directory?00:38
vasuviThe first two are for GRUB 1, the last for GRUB 200:38
vasuvi(If you already knew that, sorry ;) )00:38
penguin42I have menu.lst00:39
vasuviYup, GRUB 1 then00:39
* penguin42 happens to like being able edit config files00:39
alteregoautf-8 stuff00:40
BUGabundopenguin42: vasuvi well we can00:40
* vasuvi agrees, but vasuvi also likes to be able to boot directly into ISO's ;)00:40
BUGabundothere should be a _proper_ way00:40
BUGabundobut I just edit it as root00:40
alteregoamdadm does mdadm check the array after a period of time automaticly?00:40
BUGabundosudo didn't work00:40
BUGabundovasuvi: grub allows boot from iso? WOOT00:40
penguin42alteregoa: I think it can be made to and remember there being something about a cron to do that00:41
BUGabundogona be glad to test livecds onto HW00:41
vasuviBIGabundo: Yup :D  Just like on a live partition, you just mount it to loop first (at least what GRUB 2 calls "loop", whatever it actually does internally)00:41
vasuviThen you can boot to, say, (loop)/boot/vmlinuz00:42
BUGabundowoot00:42
penguin42oh wacky00:42
alteregoapenguin yeah i enabled crond in services00:42
alteregoathats fine, so it checks every x minutes the array00:43
penguin42alteregoa: I think there are two types of checks; one is 'has a disc failed' and I think there is an occasional check that can be done every few days which check the whole disks00:43
alteregoawhere is crond?00:44
alteregoa:/etc/crond?00:44
penguin42alteregoa: It's a thing that runs things periodically for you00:44
alteregoayeah but wher is the crond config file?00:44
alteregoai only see onancrond00:45
alteregoasounds like a biblic thing00:45
penguin42it looks like mdadm creates /etc/cron.d/mdadm00:45
billybigriggeralteregoa, mdadm will check the array00:46
billybigriggeralteregoa, tune2fs00:46
penguin42there is also a /usr/share/doc/mdadm/README.checkarray  which might be worth reading00:46
alteregoaah at 00:57 at every sunday00:47
billybigriggeralteregoa, check the man page, mdadm defaults to 30 mounts or 180 days, whatever is first00:47
penguin42any minute then ?00:47
alteregoaeach first sunday of the month00:47
penguin42billybigrigger: Erm how are tune2fs/mdadm related?00:47
billybigrigger???? you can override mdadm's settings of checking the array every 30 mounts or 180 days with tune2fs00:48
alteregoaits 30000KB/s the check so it doesnt hurt00:48
billybigriggerpenguin42, check the tune2fs man page00:48
penguin42billybigrigger: I'd expect that's you can override the filesystems check - I don't think mdadm does any checks based on mount does it?00:49
alteregoa180 days is to long00:49
billybigriggermdadm itself doesn't do checks i don't think no, if thats what your asking00:49
penguin42tune2fs is purely for filesystem not for raid00:49
billybigriggerbillybigrigger@cabo:/media$ sudo tune2fs -c 20 /dev/md000:50
billybigriggertune2fs 1.41.8 (11-July-2009)00:50
billybigriggerSetting maximal mount count to 2000:50
billybigrigger????00:50
alteregoano, the system is running on a UPS, forever00:50
billybigriggerhow so, i just changed from 30 mounts to 20 mounts before a check is performed00:50
penguin42billybigrigger: mdadm does do perioic checks00:51
billybigriggerfsck does the checking of the fs00:51
penguin42billybigrigger: you are confusing the two problems - tune2fs is configuring the filesystem - the fact you have it on the raid is a separate issue00:51
alteregoai create  a crond entry for tune2fs -c00:51
penguin42alteregoa: Why?00:51
alteregoato check for consistency00:51
billybigriggersorry, i must have jumped into a conversation in the middle00:51
billybigriggeralteregoa, you only need to set tune2fs -c once00:52
penguin42alteregoa: tune2fs doesn't check for consistency; you don't need to do that00:52
alteregoae2fsck or whatever00:52
* billybigrigger goes back to the sidelines00:52
billybigrigger:)00:52
penguin42alteregoa: You can't fsck while mounted anyway, so there's no pointing in cronning it00:53
alteregoathat sucks00:53
BUGabundopenguin42: actually you can00:53
BUGabundojust remount as RO00:53
penguin42true, but also you should never ever need to fsck in practice00:53
BUGabundobut if it changes the FS00:53
BUGabundoyou need to reboot LOL00:54
penguin42BUGabundo: yeh I guess so00:54
alteregoareboot, no way00:54
BUGabundobtw there's a bug in there on the recovery menu00:54
BUGabundotwo bugs even00:54
BUGabundoalteregoa: either that or data lost00:54
alteregoadata lost, yeah i saw the movie, data lost on the enterprise00:55
penguin42The simple answer is you don't normally need to do an fsck except after hardware failure00:55
BUGabundopenguin42: on recovery menu if you fsck, it will try to boot afterwards, with the system on RO00:55
BUGabundoDOH FAIL00:55
penguin42and if you are running on duff hardware you don't want to be running an fsck00:55
alteregoaits a 15tb array00:55
BUGabundopenguin42: wrong. data corruption *can* occur00:55
penguin42BUGabundo: How?00:55
BUGabundoyou can suffer from bad disks, interfences, kernel bugs, etc00:55
BUGabundopenguin42: just see what pre -30 kernel did on ext400:56
BUGabundoalteregoa: easilly fixable. cluster reduncy00:56
penguin42BUGabundo: Yeh well that's why I've not gone anywhere near ext4 yet00:56
BUGabundoalteregoa: you take one host down for mantanence and then resync when online00:56
BUGabundoalso see glusterfs.00:57
BUGabundopenguin42: most known bugs are fixed on -3100:57
penguin42BUGabundo: I'll give it a year or two :-)00:57
alteregoaglusterf sounds like goa'uld fs00:57
BUGabundoincluding the so NOTORIUS truncage bugs00:57
alteregoai think i put the md0 to a iscsi00:58
alteregoaor is there a way to forward x11 screen output over a tcp connection? ( not vnc)?00:59
penguin42from an already running X session?00:59
alteregoaif its possible yes01:00
penguin42for an existing one the only way I know is via vnc using x11vnc01:00
BUGabundoalteregoa: it *used* to01:01
BUGabundowith XDMC01:01
BUGabundoAFAIK not available on the new GDM01:01
alteregoaxdmc yeah rundmc is cool01:01
yoasifalteregoa, there are ways to do it, but you have to run a virtual x server01:01
yoasifwhen i used it last, it was kinda buggy01:01
alteregoaon cygwin?01:01
yoasifXvfb01:02
yoasifon the server01:02
yoasifand then you use x + screen or whatever normally01:02
alteregoathanks01:03
alteregoavirtual framebuffer runs much faster compared to vnc01:04
yoasifyeah definitely01:04
yoasifvnc is slow01:04
yoasifyou could also do NX01:04
penguin42how do you monitor Xvfb?01:04
yoasifno idea what you mean by monitor01:05
penguin42I thought it was so virtual you couldn't see it01:05
yoasifyou can use it by using X01:05
alteregoavirtual on the host, but you send the output to a terminal (here to a cygwin terminal)01:05
yoasifalteregoa, its working ok for you?01:07
alteregoai check it later01:09
yoasifhehe cool01:10

yoasifeh i would rather stay away from wine if i can02:31
syn-ackDoesnt uTorrent have UNIX port?02:32
syn-ackCould have sworn it did02:32
DanaGVuze has more features than all the others.02:33
syn-ackVuze is slow pile of....  er yeah02:33
DanaGLast time I checked, Transmission was severely lacking in features.02:34
DanaGDidn't even have a good auto-throttling thing, I think.02:34
syn-ackWorks fine for me02:34
DanaGAnd it doesn't keep seeding and downloading in separate panes.02:35
DanaGOh, and another thing: you can't specify a fixed local port to use -- so I can't use QoS on it on my router.02:35
rippsDanaG: take a look at Deluge, I used to use it alot, but I've stopped torrenting because my isp hates me when I do02:37
DanaGoh yeah, and importing all my active torrents would likely be a pain, too.02:38
DanaGoh, and handy feature in vuze: it guesses, usually correctly, where to put torrents, based on where you last put other torrents with the same types of files.02:39
yoasifDanaG, you can do all that with rtorrent02:40
DanaG"peer TOS byte" -- whazzat?02:40
yoasifplus it's actually -- fast02:40
yoasifunlike vuze02:40
DanaGwell, deluge looks pretty good.02:41
rwwdeluge and rtorrent are both great compared to vuze :)02:43
vasuvibittornado is good compared to vuze ;)02:43
vasuvi(I just use Transmission myself, but my needs are pretty modest)02:44
vasuviIf anybody is curious how I hacked the scripts to make 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' do the right thing based on boot drive:02:46
vasuviI wrote a small C program: http://paste.ubuntu.com/243053/02:46
vasuviAnd I grep'ed to find the four places where the grub_probe is called for the device name, and made it call my small program on the result02:47
DanaGHow do you make it ask where to put each torrent, for every torrent you download?02:47
DanaGugh, yeah, importing the things is not worth the effort.02:49
DanaG... at least for now.02:49
alteregoathe tony danza extravaganza02:55
billybigriggerif your looking for a vuze/utorrent the only thing that comes to my mind is deluge02:57
billybigriggerbeats the pants of transmission02:57
alteregoatransmission is KISS programming02:58
DanaGyeah, but manually pointing it back at all 20 or so torrents I have... seems like a pain.03:03
DanaGAnd how well does it deal with torrents that have files on not-currently-mounted mount points?03:03
DanaGWhat Azureus does: just stops those torrents.03:03
DanaGoh heck, I don't even remember which of the torrents in .azureus/torrents I actually still have active.03:05
billybigriggerDanaG, what else would you expect it to do?03:05
billybigriggercan't really do much but stop the torrent if its not somewhere mounted03:05
DanaGI don't know; if it were badly coded, it'd remove the torrent, or something stupid like that.03:05
DanaGWith the way some of the Gnome things have been going lately, it wouldn'y surprise me.03:05
DanaGwouldn't,03:05
DanaG.03:05
billybigriggertry deluge03:05
billybigriggerit beats the pants off anything i've tried03:06
billybigriggerunless you want something console based, but in the gui world of linux torrent clients, deluge reigns supreme :P03:06
rwwthe deluge webui isn't half bad either03:08
DanaGOh yeah, and vuze also shows which pieces are active, and lets you prioritize specific files, and such.03:09
DanaGI just imported one torrent, and it's stuck at "Checking 0.00%."03:09
DanaGSTill just sitting there.03:13
DanaGoh, I see... it was on 'pause'.03:13
DanaGSo apparently, "start paused" means "and don't bother checking it, either."03:13
billybigriggerdeluge can change file priorities03:19
DanaGah, cool.03:20
DanaGIt's easier to import one at a time (i.e. drag one .torrent at a time), than to import all at once and try to sort them out that way.03:20
DanaGI don't see how to change priority.... right-clicking gives nothing, and double-clicking just opens the file03:24
billybigriggeropen the torrent properties?03:26
DanaGYou mean the bottom pane?03:26
DanaGAlready did that.03:27
DanaGThat's where I'm seeing the list of files.03:27
DanaGI see the priority options now... but they're all grayed out.03:27
DanaGi.e. disabled.03:27
billybigrigger???03:28
DanaGwhat do you mean, "???"  ?03:29
billybigriggerim lost i don't know why it's greyed works for me everytime03:29
billybigriggernot greyed here03:31
DanaGheh, whether you're paused or going... the menu shows both "pause" and "resume".03:31
DanaGheh, this thing lets you try to add the same torrent twice.03:34
DanaGAnd then silently ignores you once you hit "okay".03:34
DanaGgrr, broken priority.03:37
DanaGFail.03:39
DanaGGreat, since I can't tell it "do not download", it's going to trample on my good tagging with the broken tagging present in the original torrent.03:45
DanaGYou're right about it being slim, though -- no performance hit from running it.03:46
DanaGgrr, case-sensitive.... since when is NTFS case-sensitive?03:47
DanaGAnd there's no option to RENAME the dir, either.03:48
DanaGyay, at least ntfs supports symlinks.03:53
syn-ackDanaG, NTFS in of its self always has been04:02
syn-ackDanaG, Windows though, is not.04:02
alteregoayou can made windows case sensitive04:05
alteregoa ObCaseInsensitive = 004:06
syn-ackalteregoa, right, but out of the box *windows* is not case sensitive, but NTFS is04:24
fuzzybunny69yhey everyone I am having major problems with my sound. It has been happening ever since Intrepid and it seems to be even worse in Karmic when I play a song it will start playing fine and then when i skip to the next song it will just freeze up the program. The driver is snd-hda-intel and ICH8 variant of it. The codec it is using is Realtek ALC262 and then it also lists Conexant ID 2c06 and I am using a Sony Vaio VGN-CR520D.04:29
fuzzybunny69y If anyone can help that would be great!04:29
billybigrigger!sound04:45
ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP304:45
SeveredCrossUh, File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer) doesn't make sense anymore in Karmic, does it?05:26
fuzzybunny69ySeveredCross, yeah I am not sure where to change all those settings anymore05:28
billybigriggeri guess it would be in your sound preferences now05:29
fuzzybunny69ydamn I thought switching to a xine backend or Amarok would fix it05:29
billybigriggernevermind05:29
billybigriggeryou can't even change that in sound preferences05:29

It has been happening ever since Intrepid and it seems to be even worse in Karmic when I play a song it will start playing fine and then when i skip to the next song it will just freeze up the program. The driver is snd-hda-intel and ICH8 variant of it. The codec it is using is Realtek ALC262 and then it also lists Conexant ID 2c06 and I am using a Sony Vaio VGN-CR520D.09:31
fuzzybunny69y If anyone can help that would be great! Another weird thing is that if I make another user account and go into that account my sound problem seems to be fixed09:31
hifihow do I change on what partition ubuntu hibernates, also which is on use swsusp or TuxOnIce?09:40
cwilluhifi, it's the swap partition unless you've explicitly changed something09:55
cwilluif you have multiple swap partitions, I'd expect that it uses the normal swap partition priority09:55
kklimondafuzzybunny69y: https://wiki.edubuntu.org/DebuggingSoundProblems10:00
hificwillu: can I explicitly set which swap partition to use10:01
cwilluhifi, via the usual swap priority mechanism I'd expect, yes.  You'd have to look at the relevant docs for whichever hibernation system you're using though10:02
cwillutypically, hibernation is exactly equivilent to swapping everything out, and as such it doesn't typically make much sense to do things differently just because we're hibernating10:02
hificwillu: just in case the first swap is too full to contain the real system memory I'd like to have a different swap for hibernation10:03
hifithats really a marginal case, but could happen10:04
cwilluyou can add and remove swap files on the fly10:04
cwillui.e., it'll migrate off a swap file/partition when you remove it via swapoff10:04
cwilluideally the scripts would handle those cases, but I'm pretty sure they're not doing it yet10:05
hifiI'm on a bare karmic and writing my suspend scripts by hand10:05
cwillubut it'd be easy to have it check top and allocate a new swapfile on root or /tmp big enough to cover the shortfall, enable it, and then resume the hibernate process10:05
cwilluthe only hitch is that afaik swap files can't be sparse files, so you do have to actually allocate the space, which can be expensive in certain circumstances10:06
hifiI already have a partition with enough space to hold the system memory so I'd like to use it10:07
cwilluso just add it as a normal swap drive10:07
cwilluset it as a low priority if you don't want it used unless absolutely necessary10:07
hifiah, that'd work I guess10:08
cwillupri=value in fstab10:08
cwilluso it'd be pri=0, and then your normal swap partition would be pri=110:09
hifithanks for your help10:18
joohoohello10:24
joohooi use karmic koala10:24
joohoobefore my firefox was 3.0, theni think it was 3.5 i dont know10:25
joohoobut now its 3.0.1210:25
joohoowhy its not 3.5 ?10:25
kklimondajoohoo: there are still some things that has to be done before 3.5 becomes the default version.10:26
joohoook10:27
joohooi think i had it before and it worked good, but im not sure10:27
joohoowhat has to be done?10:27
joohoowhen will 3.5 be default?10:27
floatingwhen will chromium be default ?10:29
joohoochromium cant be default cuz its not firfox10:30
joohooonly firefox can be default10:30
floatingaaha10:30
kklimondajoohoo: the list of things to be done is here: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-karmic-firefox-3.510:31
kklimondaI'm not sure if it's up2date though10:31
floatingchromium is more responsive than firefox. I couldn't use linux with firefox, it reacts to tab changes and stuff 10 times slower than chromium10:32
kklimondafloating: chromium isn't ready to be a replacement for Firefox10:32
joohootab changes is fast in firefox for me, i have dualcor10:33
kklimondafloating: neither is Google Chrome 3.x for Windows - it lacks some features that Firefox has and people use10:33
floatingyes, not ready to be a replacement for firefox as default browser, but it is ready enough for personal use :)10:33
BUGabundoI just use both10:34
BUGabundodepending on what I need10:35
BUGabundoand guud morning everyone10:35
floatingdo you have any kind of ad blocker for the chromium ?10:35
BUGabundonot yet10:35
floatingI tried some on google chrome on windows earlier, but it was based on some css inspecting or something, and was not even close as effective as adblocker+ for firefox10:36
kklimondaBUGabundo: do you know if breathe icon set will be a new default for KK?10:36
BUGabundono I didn't know10:36
BUGabundoI have a totaly and external theme10:36

syn-ackBUGabundo, you around?11:05
BUGabundoyep syn-ack11:06
* BUGabundo pokes syn-ack with cwillu poking stick11:06
syn-ackYou familiar with EFI at all?11:07
syn-ackspecifically Insyde firmwares...11:07
BUGabundonop11:07
syn-ackIm trying to figure out how to disable the BIOS CSM so I can directly boot via GRUB2+EFI_Core11:08
simba_so i installed karmic on a Eee 1008ha, I love it when everything just works....well almost everything, when i go to text console (<ctrl><alt>F1) and back to gnome the tapping on my pad stop working, and i either have to re-run gsynaptics or restart to get it to work again....any ideas?11:08
richardcavellsyn-ack: what computer do you have?11:08
richardcavellsyn-ack: and why do you need to do that?11:08
syn-ackbasically this is how it works. I have EFI but everything about the BIOS emulated, including Bootstrap11:09
richardcavellokay11:09
syn-ackrichardcavell, I have an HP Pavillion G50 and because I can?11:09
richardcavellI have a Mac so I don't have any choice but to use EFI11:09
syn-ackRight.11:09
syn-ackI mean I only use EFI like yourself, but HP in all their wisdom had insyde emulate the BIOS11:10
syn-ackwhich if you ask me is pretty silly11:10
BUGabundosimba_: you are lucky. my tap doesn't even work on a fresh boot11:12
simba_BUGabundo, does it work after running gsynaptics?11:13
BUGabundolet me see11:13
BUGabundoThe program 'gsynaptics' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:11:13
BUGabundosudo apt-get install gsynaptics11:13
BUGabundosimba_: just a few secs more11:13
BUGabundolol11:13
BUGabundoI was under the idea we no longer supported gsynaptics11:13

yofelsimba_: tapping works fine here on my 1000H11:18
yofelwell... after fiddling around with gconf that is -.-11:18
BUGabundooh KEWL11:18
BUGabundoI have tapping back11:18
BUGabundothanks simba_11:18
simba_BUGabundo, a more manual way to setup the touchpad is to do it in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ (more choises)11:18
BUGabundooh... multitouch doesn't work :(11:19
BUGabundowe are regressing :(11:19
simba_yofel, guess it isnt compleetely identical hardwares...11:19

jonathonfsafest is to use update-manager -d, but that's a gui app14:39
legend2440jonathonf: yes thats the one. i couldnt remember it. thanks14:40
jonathonf:)14:40
oldude67ugh this might take a while...got tired of trying to run 9.10 in vbox..(not enough memory) so this dist upgrade is going to be like an hour, will it use the newest kernel or will it load all the old ones as well too?14:48
jonathonfyou'll have the new one14:49
oldude67well dont know if that will be a blessing or a nightmare it seems to run fine on this machine in vbox but last time i had it installed it made the intel video crap.14:50
oldude67oh well guess ill find out here in about an hour..lol14:51
jonathonfmm, there were issues with intel graphics, though i think most have been fixed with the new kernel (.31) and newest intel drivers14:52
jonathonflol14:52
jonathonfyou should also check the x-swat ppa which has stable X and video driver updates14:52
oldude67well i think it was the 2.6.31-3 kernel that made my intel video screw the 2.6.31-2 was ok tho14:53

Emme_NK_am on AC15:03
zer0xoh, on my 900 it seemed fine in live, but now I've installed to ssd its keeps warning me about low capacity, the battery is fine however :/15:04
Emme_NK_and the battery charge prediction does not work, it only reports in 10%-steps15:04
nemoI decided to try updating to karmic on a non-critical laptop15:04
* BUGabundo has a 13.3" pseudo netbook15:04
nemothe upgrade did not go smoothly...15:04
zer0xEmme_NK_: I guess i'll just ignore it for the moment :) these darn 900's lose there charge whilst turned off also :(15:04
Emme_NK_mine does not15:05
nemoanyway, I thought I finally had everything sorted out - but it appears, and this is just a guess, that karmic is still using an older version of grub15:05
jonathonfmy 701 does :S15:05
nemo'cause my grub config appears to have been screwed up15:05
Emme_NK_I was afraid of it before I got the eee, but looks like I am lucky15:05

nemoanyway. thinking I might as well just reinstall. which brings me to my questions15:06
nemo1) Is it worth filing a bug chronicling my failures at this point? or is it likely this will all be ironed out over next few months15:06
nemo2) If I download a karmic nightly and reinstall, do I have to worry about $HOME?15:06
zer0xat least the intel issues are fixed in karmic :)15:06
jonathonf2) no need to worry15:07
Hobbseezer0x: they're completely fixed now?  nice!15:07
Hobbseemight have to try that15:07
Emme_NK_zer0x: maybe the battery draining issue depends on the BIOS version. I have 060115:07
Hobbseenemo: you'd be better going for the last alpha15:07
zer0xHobbsee: I believe so, compiz is very smooth, it was horrendous on 9.0415:07
zer0xEmme_NK_: very good point, I have not updated this one yet15:08
Hobbseeno screen suddenly going black?15:08
zer0xEmme_NK_: is the update possible via linux?15:08
Emme_NK_AFAIK there's some tool for linux, I don't know. It came with this version15:08
nemoalrighty15:08
nemoguess I'll pull a build then15:08
nemooh. also, the installer won't get confused, will it? :)15:08
yofelthe only intel problems I have in karmic now are that the driver refuses to work with an external monitor and more than 640x480 :/15:09
nemowell. guess I'll find out15:09
zer0xahh, just praying its not a windows only .exe update! eww :)15:09
jonathonfzer0x, someone made a bootable USB image that automates the BIOS update; you can even select the version you want15:09
jonathonfthough it's been a while since i've messed with my eee15:09
BUGabundohey Hobbsee15:09
Hobbseeyofel: oh, don't mirror the screen.15:09
zer0xjonathonf: sounds good, any idea where I can find it?15:09
HobbseeBUGabundo: heya!15:09
jonathonfi'll dig out the link, hang on15:10
zer0xjonathonf: cheers very much :)15:10
yofelHobbsee: if I try to *not* mirror it I get only garbage :(15:10
jonathonfzer0x: http://downloads.k0k0.de/index.php?dir=EeePC%2F15:10
jonathonfloads of stuff in there15:10
Hobbseeyofel: ah.  Does the intel driver even support getting up to that high resolution with an external monitor?15:11
zer0xjonathonf: thanks, much appreciated :)15:11
yofelHobbsee: I didn't try every possible resolution that I had in the Display options. It would have taken too much time since I had to kill X every time...15:12
zer0xcant press both mouse buttons on eee :/15:12
Hobbseeyofel: i was thinking you'd try jsut the largest15:12
yofelI'll try again once I get the time for that15:12
* BUGabundo gives a free tip to yofel : $ xrandr --auto15:12
* yofel makes a note of that15:13
Hobbseeyofel: oh, adn the other trick is to turn off the first monitor, and  just use the external15:14
yofelHobbsee: and how do I do that? or do you mean turn off in bios?15:14
Hobbseex seems happier that way15:14
Hobbseeyofel: in display properties15:14
zer0xthis eee keyboard is going to take some getting used to!15:15
yofelok, I'll report back as soon as I get to try it :)15:15
zer0xthanks for your help all :) bb15:15
Hobbseeyofel: fwiw, intel drivers don't handle external monitors particulalry brilliantly, but you should be able to make ti work at all15:16
* aboSamoor the banshee database migration bug fixed :-D, dancing with banshee on the edge15:17
BUGabundoHobbsee: and its worse when the resolution of the extrenal is bigger then the internal15:17
BUGabundosome how it doesn't have enough BW for it15:17
Hobbseeyep15:17
BUGabundothe 2nd controler must be worse or less powerful15:17
Hobbseein which case, you'd wonder why you'd bother15:18
oldude67that really dont make sense.15:19
BUGabundooldude67: what doesn't?15:19
oldude67like he said why bother.15:20
BUGabundohe is a _she_15:20
oldude67oops sorry15:20
BUGabundonot that she likes to be the spotlight15:21
oldude67now is that with all video adapters or certain ones?15:21
Hobbseei presume all15:21
Hobbseei only tried with one15:21
BUGabundofrom intel, all I've used15:23
BUGabundoati is very sensitive on that15:23
BUGabundoand even on nvidia as very poor external outputs on _most_ cards15:23
BUGabundoor maybe its bad drivers15:23
oldude67im assuming this is with laptop issues right?15:24
BUGabundocorrect15:24
BUGabundomost desktops have much better output15:25
BUGabundosince, well, they don't have embed lcds :)15:25
BUGabundoso if they support dual head, both exits are similar in bandwith15:25
oldude67sorry im being so nosy im going to be getting a laptop here soon and i am just wondering what im getting myself into..lol15:25
Hobbseeoldude67: are you plannin to connect it up to a second monitor?15:26
BUGabundoright. this is just a question for multimonitor15:26
oldude67yeah i was thinking about it, but it sounds like it would be a waste of time.15:26
BUGabundolook don't be scare. my nvidia 8400 18 month old15:26
BUGabundocan run compiz at 90FPS on a lcd 1280+ external at higher reso15:26
BluesKajoldude67, make sure you get a lappy with nvidia graphics , intel and ati to a lesser degree are troublesome to get set up15:27
BUGabundoOTOH I can get from 200 to 300FPS on a single LCD :D15:27
BUGabundoBluesKaj: not so true with newer ATI cards15:27
BUGabundothe prob is that _they_ aren't supporting FLOSS drivers on older cards15:27
BluesKajBUGabundo, good to hear ati is back in the game15:28
BUGabundothose are being done by community15:28
Hobbsee1500 frames a second for compiz.  wow.15:29

ccookeWhat's the status? Any serious gotchas (considering I usually update at least one system to Ubuntu+1 between two and three months before release)16:07
oldude67anyone know what the difference is between an intel celeron r 2.4 gig chip and an intel celeron d 2.4 chip is?16:07
ccookeoldude67: let's see - memory may be faulty, given it's a few years ago now, but IIRC Celeron D was the first(ish) 64-bit capable celeron16:09
Teknobased on pentium d16:09

floatinganyone ever had a vibrating mouse pointer ? I just came home and returned to my pc to find out my mouse pointer is making some 5mm back and forth movement on my 19" screen16:11

ccookeBUGabundo: True. I tend to ignore the actual release date and go for 2-3 months before the version number.16:12
floatingwhatever ,but kinda funny :P16:12
Teknozer0x: its possible to replace yes16:13
floatingbut it is irritating my eyes to watch it, maybe i should restart x16:13

jonathonfok, was just a test taken from the forum ;)17:05
nemoyay. everything seems to be under control17:06
nemoI think maybe the upgrade was confused that I was already on grub217:06
nemoreran the grub legacy updater, ditched the menu.lst and life is back to normal17:07
nemoBTW, why the heck can I no longer manipulate individual channels in the gnome sound config?17:07
nemothat's really frustrating when I want to mute/unmute/adjust volume on individual channels17:07
nemoheck. I can't even figure out how to switch between which one controls main volume - which is useful if I plug external speakers into the laptop mic port17:08
SeveredCrossnemo: Because PulseAudio lolves you.17:08
zer0xah, the mic does work.. just had to change the input in alsamixer :)17:08
SeveredCrossnemo: Try pavucontrol, though you may not have better luck.17:08
nemoyes17:08
nemoI ended up using alsamixer17:08
nemoI'm just annoyed the main tool ditched this17:08
nemoone more thing to confuse users17:08
EagleScreenhello, is it possible to change the appareance of KDE3 applications?17:08
SeveredCrossnemo: The idea is that PulseAudio will work well enough for everyone.17:09
SeveredCrossUnfortunately, Pulse completely stinks up my system.17:09
zer0xwhy dont all the options in alsamixer show up in the sound preferences gui?17:09
SeveredCrosszer0x: Because the sound preferences UI is based off PulseAudio, not ALSA.17:09
zer0xah :)17:09
nemoSeveredCross: ... and... pulseaudio will automagically know which input channel I'm wanting?17:09
coz_EagleScreen,   what do you mean change their appearance?    window borders  and such?17:10
SeveredCrossnemo: People would like to think so.17:10
SeveredCrossMe, I think PulseAudio's created more problems than it's ever solved for me.17:10
nemoSeveredCross: in that case it failed at it :-/17:10
EagleScreenyes, coz_, but fonts size overall17:10
nemoI wonder if the folks who made that gui actually consulted the features of the old tool17:10
coz_EagleScreen,  yes it is possible  but  I dont have kde installed right now  but I believe if you go into system settings  what you have mentioned is possible from there  or   go into the #kde  channel and ask about the locations of certain settings :)17:11

bjsniderBUGabundo, no, it should be fine on karmic18:18
nemoI think the most annoying part so far is the mucked up volume control :-/18:18
nemoI mean I can use alsamixer, but still18:18
bjsniderBUGabundo, i get almost daily bug reports and requests, so it must be popular-like18:18

bjsniderBUGabundo, you can't use the 190 driver if you wantt o use the vdpau stuff18:19
bjsniderit's all built against the 185 driver currently18:19
bjsniderthe 190 driver is for basic testing only18:19

BUGabundobjsnider: why didn't it suggest nvidia too ?18:23
bjsniderBUGabundo, because my driver is called 185, not 180. it is available in the repository18:24
FloridaGuyok...netinstall iso burnt....now time to go for install.....if it works see everyone in about 30..40 min18:24
BUGabundobjsnider: I have it installed already18:24
bjsnideri've got this crazyidea that 185 isn't the same thing as 18018:24
BUGabundoshouldn't your replace it or something ?18:24

mac_vah ha ;p18:33
bjsnidermac_v, have you tried gnome-do with docky as an alternative?18:33
DanaGHeh, I actually switched to ATI because I was sick of all the nvidia crap I had dealt with.  For now, ATI has DIFFERENT crap to deal with... but at least the specs are open.18:33
mac_vbjsnider: ah i did , didnt have as many options as cairo dock ,18:34
bjsniderwhat nvidia crap, you mean hardware-accelerated opengl 3.1+?18:34
mac_vbut the non-opengl version works fine18:34
bjsniderbut did it work?18:34
bjsniderawn doesn't use opengl. maybe that would be better for you.18:34
DanaGNo, I mean like the whole damn screen going *BLINK*      *BLINK*     *BLINK*18:35
bjsnideryou've got an old junk mobile chip right?18:35
DanaGGranted, that bug got fixed a while ago, but my choice was partly a matter of principles, too.18:35
DanaGThe one that did the blinking was a Go 7600.18:35
bjsniderok18:35
mac_vtried awn too , but cairo allows the dock on top , its just that the openGL version has so much more bling , flet i was missing out ;p18:36
bjsniderthe 8k/9k/gtx/gts series will work like gangbusters18:36
DanaGOh yeah, and I ALSO have a spare, rarely-used laptop ("toshitba") that has a "1 + 1 = 4 (MX)!" card.18:36
DanaGAnd the nvidia binary on that.... just segfaults.18:36
bjsnidertime to throw it out18:37

mac_vbjsnider: what package do i file a bug against?18:38
bjsniderDanaG, does broadcom have any linux drivers at all in the kernel?18:38
DanaGI think B43 is in-kernel, but the firmware is non-distributable.18:38
DanaGThat restriction never made any sense to me.18:38
bjsnidermac_v, i don't know what it's called in the repos, but it's xf86-video-ati in xorg18:38
DanaGI mean, fine, don't open-source it, whatever.  But why the **** would you not allow people to distribute the closed-source-anyway firmware?18:39
bjsnideri think it's just called the radeon driver18:39
mac_vah... ok ,i'll check18:39
bjsniderDanaG, wait. i thought you were an open-source activist?18:39

BUGabundolet windows ease begin22:50
BUGabundoRAOF: actully this case would be ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ubuntu22:51
BUGabundome thinks22:51
RAOFPossibly.  It's ppa:$LP_USER/$PPA_NAME22:52
BUGabundoerr22:53
BUGabundomore like PPANAME/PPABRANCH22:53
BUGabundoRAOF: ppa are not users22:53
BUGabundoeither user or teams22:53
RAOFBut PPAs belong to users.22:54
Daviey_or_ teams22:54
BUGabundoRAOF: ^^^^22:55
RAOFA team is a user :P22:55
Davieya launchpad_id22:55
BUGabundolets take this to #launchpad :)22:55
RAOFFor example... the nouveau crack repository, belonging to the ~xorg-edgers team is ppa:xorg-edgers/nouveau22:55
BUGabundoand by this you prove my point . thanks22:55
yofelhm... gnome-do docky is buggy. I launch gVim and it shows the adept icon o.O23:02
Twigathyoh fgs, pulse has broken my lovely working vlc spdif passthrough >:(23:06
Twigathyburrrrn >_<23:06
Twigathyoh, killing PA and starting it again worked23:10
* Twigathy dislikes weird maybe-not-bugs like that :S23:10
BUGabundothe entire PA is just a BIG bug23:11
* Twigathy agrees23:12
BUGabundoand no one seems to be capable of tracking it down23:12
DanaGI like PulseAudio's features... I just don't like some of the things it does.23:12
TwigathyI can't believe it's managed to get itself into so many distros >_<23:12
DanaGLike flat volumes... whose hairbrained idea was that?23:12
BUGabundonod23:12
Twigathyoops, workrave says I need an anti-RSI break... c_c23:13
Twigathybtw it has the cutest icon *ever* (little sheep thingy that lives in the system tray) :)23:13
RAOFDanaG: Flat volumes are an obvious good thing to audio wonks.23:14
RAOFThe UI could be less... annoying, though.23:14
DanaGYeah, the UI is horrible, horrible,  horrible.23:15
DanaGWhen I move an app between cards... I damn well don't expect it to suddenly change its "relative to max" volume.23:15
TwigathyI mentioned yesterday(?) that the way to do app volumes is not to have a horrible GUI for it, but to have another window control like minimise/max/close ;)23:15
Twigathyditto soundcard shuffling of app noises23:16
DanaGEven a pavucontrol with checkboxes for "which device" would work.23:16
DanaGAwesome thing to do, thanks to PA: put games and movies and such on offboard surround sound, and leave web audio on internal speakers.23:16
DanaGThat way I don't have to worry about Flash videos being too loud -- I just start with the onboard speakers at low volume.23:17
DanaGThe only thing I saw of flat-volumes was exactly the horrid UI... what's the supposed benefit?23:17
DanaGDoing analog scaling instead of digital scaling?23:18
RAOFDanaG: Exactly.  The idea is to use the audio hardware's amplifier to scale volume, rather than deplete the bit-depth.23:18
DanaGThe UI needs to abstract that away, then.23:18
RAOFProbably, yeah.23:19
DanaGhere's how I think of volumes: I use the old non-flat way.23:19
DanaGCard is at some portion of its max volume.23:19
DanaGApp is at some proportion of the volume of whatever device it's on.)23:19
DanaGyou know you're a programmer when you just thought: "synax error: unexpected ')'."23:19
DanaGAnd if I move the app to another device... the same "percent of whatever device it's on" applies.23:21
DanaGOh yeah, and the mixer for my onboard sound card is a bit annoying:\23:21
DanaG1% is -89dB, 50% is -45dB, and 100% is 0dB.23:22
DanaGWhy, pray tell, do I need it to go all the way down to -89?23:22
BUGabundoDanaG: +123:22
BUGabundoanithing bellow 60% here is == mute23:22
DanaG50% for me.23:22
Shane_FaganWhy not work using percentages23:22
Shane_Faganmine is fairly loud23:23
RAOFShane_Fagan: Percentages of what?  Percieved volume?  RMS power? :)23:23
Shane_Fagan20% is still audible23:23
Shane_FaganRAOF: the volume the computer can go23:24
RAOFShane_Fagan: Then it's horribly non-linear, perception wise.23:24
Shane_Faganlike the way it detects the battery life using percentages23:24
RAOFThat'll mean that the last 50% sounds pretty much exactly the same volume.23:24
DanaG... which is exactly my problem.  =รพ23:25
RAOF(Because hearing perception is logarithmic)23:25
Shane_Faganim just saying the db system is weird23:25
DanaGAnd the notify-OSD actually makes the volume change itself.... lag.  Stupid design.23:25
RAOFThe dB system is weird because human perception is weird.23:25
bjsniderBUGabundo, what did the vdpinfo script get you?23:25
Shane_Faganwhy cant they move over to an easier to understand system23:25
DanaGThe volume change should NEVER wait for the notification.23:25
DanaGWhat's odd to me is the negative-ness.23:25
DanaG89dB below... what?23:26
Shane_Faganbut we arent computers23:26
RAOFDanaG: Below 0, obviously :)23:26
DanaGoh yeah, one thing I like about my laptop: when idle, the hard drive is the only thing I hear.23:27
BUGabundobjsnider: it didn't build :(23:27
BUGabundoDanaG: mine is the fan23:27
Shane_FaganDanaG: Mine makes an annoying rattling sound all the time23:27
Shane_FaganIts not healthy23:28
BUGabundoShane_Fagan: dBs are strange to you, 'cause you don't know what they mean23:29
BUGabundoof course Human Beings don't care either :)23:29
Shane_FaganAh as long as im not expected to say how many dbs some sound is im fine23:30
bjsniderBUGabundo, it will build23:30
BUGabundobjsnider: not here :(23:31
BUGabundoI added the -dev package required23:31
BUGabundoand it didn't work23:31
DanaGoh yeah, and with my USB sound card, alsamixer itself is a bit confused.23:31
bjsnidererror msg?23:32
DanaGIt goes from 0% (0.0dB) to 100% (0.0dB).23:32
