richardcavellHi, everyone.  I had the networking problem yesterday.  I can only use networking if I run sudo service apparmor stop.  In my update manager, network-manager-gnome is being 'held back'.  Can anyone explain this?00:13
stasi don't think that my bug is caused by openssh00:14
BUGabundohey richardcavell00:14
richardcavellhey BUG00:14
BUGabundorichardcavell: let me guess: you got the new NM ?00:14
richardcavellyep00:14
* BUGabundo blames asac00:15
BUGabundorichardcavell: please hit TAB for autocompete00:15
* stas gnight00:15
richardcavellI downloaded the new network manager, and my networking didn't work any more.  We were discussing it yesterday.  Someone came up with sudo service apparmor stop as a way of getting networking working again.00:15
richardcavellSo I did that, then did update/upgrade overnight while I slept.00:16
richardcavellNow my computer has updated a whole stack of things, but network-manager-gnome is being 'kept back' according to apt-get00:16
richardcavelland it's gray in update manager00:16
douglasawh-workrichardcavell: any reason you don't use the -force (or whatever it is)?00:16
richardcavelldouglasawh-work: is that what I should do?00:16
scizzo-force?00:16
richardcavellI was told that there would be an update to apparmor, not network-manager, to fix the situation00:17
richardcavellat the moment the only way I'm online right now is by stopping apparmor00:17
scizzo-richardcavell: can you check the changelog to see if a dep is removed from either of the packages that are not going to be installed?00:17
scizzo-richardcavell: that is either of the greyed out once?00:18
richardcavellscizzo-: um, how do I do that?00:18
BUGabundodouglasawh-work: don't force it!!!!!00:18
connexwhere is the menu.lst in grub 2?00:18
BUGabundoit will break depencies that SHOULD matche or NM won't work00:18
BUGabundoif it fails to get dependcies something is not building00:18
yofel!grub2 | connex00:18
ubottuconnex: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub200:18
BUGabundorichardcavell: use aptitude safe-upgrade instead00:19
BUGabundoalso try one of the NM PPAs00:19
th1connex, its got grub.cfg instead00:19
scizzo-richardcavell: in a terminal without using anything else just type: apt-get -u dist-upgrade and check what lib comes up that is being removed....DO NOT REMOVE IT OR INSTALL ANYTHING00:19
BUGabundowe have 0.7.1, 0.7+ modem-manager and 0.800:19
scizzo-richardcavell: or follow BUGabundo's info00:19
scizzo-richardcavell: safer to use the one that BUGabundo said00:19
richardcavellBUGabundo: is network-manager up to 0.8 though00:20
richardcavellBUGabundo: last night it was 0.7.1-git00:20
richardcavellbut I was told that asac was preparing a solution00:20
BUGabundorichardcavell: $ apt-cache policy network-manager | pastebinit  http://paste.ubuntu.com/247572/00:20

BUGabundoidentica maybe??00:22
douglasawh-workyeah, but I'm daw there since pm whined about not being about to type douglasawh00:22

scizzo-aboSamoor: I have only seen libs at that version from the repos...not sure the whole stuff is there yet00:28
scizzo-aboSamoor: or if it will be00:28

BUGabundothey tend to work FAST00:29
BUGabundobut PPA should be updated00:29
BUGabundoconnex: no idea00:29
BUGabundofile a bug00:29
BUGabundodon't get your hopes high. dtchen is traveling so he won't have time to look into it00:30
aboSamooryeah, their backport ppa contains kde 4.3 but it is compiled against jaunty. so adding the ppa won't pull kde 4.300:30
scizzo-th1: echo $DISPLAY00:31
scizzo-th1: it is the display or the screen number...00:31
BUGabundoah??00:32
BUGabundoare you sure?00:32
BUGabundothey have a ppa for karmic00:32
BUGabundoaboSamoor: you must be looking in the wrong place00:32
scizzo-th1: as a example if you would have 2 Xorgs running on the same machine...one of them would be: :0.0 and the other would be something like :0.1 or the like....it just sets the number of the display...00:34
scizzo-th1: check with BASH and $DISPLAY information to find out more...00:34
th1scizzo-, I know what it is00:40
th1but what kind of display is :100000:40
richardcavellGuys I've run update-manager and there are two items that are greyed out.  I ran sudo aptitude safe-upgrade and this is what I get: http://pastebin.com/f18e6637500:56

Sarvattwlan1: No active IBSS STAs - trying to scan for other IBSS networks just pops up with b43, doesnt like the ad-hoc network with WEP01:07
BUGabundocould be worse Sarvatt01:08
richardcavellBUGabundo: any ideas?01:09
BUGabundorichardcavell: no01:09
BUGabundono idea why you are hanging back01:10
BUGabundocan you pastebin modem manager too?01:10
richardcavellI just found out01:10
richardcavellI have to remove libmbca001:10
richardcavellgotta log out now.  BRB01:10
Sarvattwhy dont you dist-upgrade richardcavell? safe-upgrade is probably holding it back because mobile-broadband-provider-info is a new package?01:11
BUGabundoSarvatt: he is gone01:11
Sarvatt...and he left :D01:11
BUGabundoyou really should enable parts01:11
Sarvatti did, he parted the second i said it :D01:14
bcurtiswxthe mobile-broadband package in the changelog says it breaks libmcba0, and synaptic wants to remove it... thats ok then.. right?01:14
Sarvattah that'd do it01:14
Sarvattyeah01:14
bcurtiswxit being libmcba001:15
richardcavellBUGabundo: Okay I'm all updated now.  All is well.01:15
BUGabundoYAY01:16
BUGabundonext time try aptitude force-upgrade01:16
BUGabundoto see what's left01:16
BUGabundoLOLOL01:16
richardcavellAfter what happened yesterday I don't think I'll be updating for a while01:17
BUGabundoWARNING: IT MAY BREAK YOUR LCD  and make you cry like a baby01:17
Sarvattreally should dist-upgrade during development, its normal for packages to get obsoleted and get removed like that01:17
* bcurtiswx mutes BUGabundo01:17
BUGabundorichardcavell: worse! the more you update the less diff you may end up01:17
BUGabundobcurtiswx: "the function you have selected has not implemeted yet. We are sorry"01:18
BUGabundobcurtiswx: how are you ?01:18
richardcavellthe only reason why I want Karmic is because of the newer Intel drivers anyway01:18
bcurtiswxsudo apt-get remove BUGabundo01:18
richardcavellI notice that Firefox 3.0.13 isn't in the repos yet.  It was released yesterday.01:19
bcurtiswxi wish theyd finally make firefox 3.5 default01:19
BUGabundo$ apt-get remove #ubuntu+1, world, universe: y,N,WHAT?01:19
bcurtiswxmore testers is a good thing01:19
BUGabundorichardcavell: it won't be01:19
BUGabundowe are going with 3.501:19
bcurtiswxlike actually do it in the repos01:20
BUGabundoit was supposed to be TODAY on ppa security for testing01:20
BUGabundoif it works, archives get 3.5 default01:20
richardcavellI prefer 3.001:20
bcurtiswxwhats so special about 3.5 anyways?01:21
SeveredCrossBetter JavaScript engine, private browsing, supposedly svelter memory usage.01:22
BUGabundorichardcavell: why???01:24

BUGabundoI wonder who is going to enable it back and test01:51
BUGabundoLOLOL01:51
DanaGNot I... I've actually dpkg-diverted the thing to get rid of it.01:53
virtualdi hope no one who uses the 64-bit flash player missed this: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb09-10.html (or anyone who didn't install through apt)01:54
DanaGOh, and "multisearch" is a misnomer.01:54
DanaGif anything... it's an anti-multisearch.01:54
DanaGGoogle has multiple search types..... "multisearch" removes them!01:54
DanaGBwahahaha.01:54
BUGabundovirtuald: already closed all my browsers01:55
BUGabundowhat's that link about?01:55
BUGabundoI have flash 64bits , the new one for a few days01:55

virtualddisconnected imap02:01
DanaGah.02:02
DanaGSomething the battstat applet gives, that g-p-m does not give: accurate power usage info.02:02
DanaGOr rather, directly read from battery -- so it seems more correct than g-p-m's estimates.02:02
virtualdo.o02:02
DanaGAnd it shows percentage of charge at a glance.02:03
DanaGCan't do that with gnome-power-manager.02:03
virtualdi don't use batteries - does g-p-m have some heuristic?02:03
DanaGYeah.  It profiles the battery over time.02:04
virtualdok02:04
DanaGBut in my case, it underestimates the accuracy of my battery's capacity indications.02:04
DanaGSays it's 0% accurate when below 50% battery, when it's really just fine.02:04
virtualddid you report it?02:06
DanaGHmm, I've usually just ignored it.02:06
virtualdok02:06
DanaGOh yeah, and battstat applet shows the time right in the panel.02:06
DanaGg-p-m just shows this vague sort of ballpark-figure percentage thingy, via icon changes.02:07
DanaG0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100.02:07
bjsniderQPrime, what are you talking about?02:11
DanaGhah, and the mouse battery thingy has only 0, 60, and 100.02:18
Sarvatthmm, i cant even add the battery charge monitor applet :(02:18
DanaGYou probably already have the update installed.02:19
Sarvattis it from the battery-stats package DanaG?02:20
DanaGno, it's from the gnome-applets package.02:20
Sarvattwhen i try to add Battery Charge Monitor (Deprecated) it runs /usr/lib/gnome-applets/null_applet --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_NullAppl02:20
DanaGhttp://battstat.sourceforge.net/02:20
Sarvattdevicekit-power is all screwed up for all of my laptops, it thinks its fully charged when i unplug no matter what02:21
DanaGNote the nicer thing: one icon for power state, one icon for percent charge.02:21
DanaGThough oddly, the one in gnome is not exactly the same as this one here.02:21
Sarvatti didnt like the old one at all, preferred g-p-m back when it worked02:22
Sarvattbut if it actually works i'll gladly use it (not that i can for some reason)02:22
DanaGbecause... it's been removed!02:22
Sarvatti've just been using a bash alias to cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state :(02:23
Sarvattwonder if it'd work right if i rebuilt d-k-p and g-p-m with hal support02:24
Sarvattjust read that you have problems with it underestimating capacity, have you tried changing the gconf settings for it? i saw a bunch that change how it determines that02:26
DanaGIt also underestimates accuracy.02:27
Sarvattlike in /apps/gnome-power-manager/general/02:27
DanaGGnome devs at work: notice how much more configurable the battstat-applet used to be.02:27
DanaGNow there's just layout options.02:27
Sarvattmaybe try disabling /apps/gnome-power-manager/general/use_profile_time so it can relearn it or something I was thinking02:32
DanaGodd... compiz's scale "close window" feature on middle button... only closes ONE window.  you have to move the mouse a bit before it'll highlight the next window to move under the mouse.02:32
DanaGSo, I can sit there hitting my middle button to close window, over and over.... and it ignores me.02:33
Sarvatthttp://sarvatt.com/downloads/gpm.txt thats what i get, i'm sitting here on battery power and it thinks its fully charged02:35
DanaGhmm, does it ever give updates at all?02:36
DanaGI normally see multiple of the battery-info thingies, as it reports changes.02:36
Sarvattnope it doesnt give updates until i plug in again02:37
Sarvattohhh interesting02:37
Sarvatti killed devkit-power-daemon and restarted it then restarted g-p-m and its right02:37
Sarvattwonder if it has something to do with it thinking the lid is always closed02:38
Sarvattits even decreasing, didnt just load the right values and die there or anything02:40
FloridaGuyfrom 9.04 to 9.10...what would be better or faster...my netinstall cd...or upgrade02:42
Sarvattdo you want to change anything like switching to ext4?02:43
Sarvattlol! screen just blanked, maybe the reason I havent been having this problem lately is because g-p-m hasnt been working02:44
FloridaGuy.... /boot..../...../home already ext4 and runing grub202:44
virtualdgpm is a console mouse daemon so it did confuse me a bit before as i don't have a laptop02:45
Sarvattyou'll want to make sure you reinstall grub2 to the mbr after in any case, jaunty's cant handle some of the options the one in karmic uses02:45
virtualdi mean you calling gnome-power-manager gpm02:45
Sarvattwe're talking about gnome-power-manager, sorry about that02:45
virtuald<:02:46
virtualdno problem02:46
FloridaGuywouldent upgradeing do all that02:46
Sarvattits not for alot of people, dunno why02:46
FloridaGuysence im alrady useing grub202:46
Sarvattits upgrading grub2 on the system but not installing the updated grub2 to the mbr02:47
Sarvattif you get errors about --no-floppy just sudo grub-install /dev/whatever02:47
FloridaGuyi dont have a floppy so dont have to worry about that02:48
zaccourhow is 3 alpha?02:48
zaccouris it faster than the current?02:48

zaccourhow is the alpha 3?02:50
zaccourshould i upgrade now?02:50
hggdhzaccour, it is always a bet. For me, with rare exceptions (like this morning) it has been rather stable for a development series02:51
hggdhin other words: no issue I could not get myself out02:51

FloridaGuyAugust 13th...alpha302:52

hggdh*that*, I do not know... don't use it02:52
FloridaGuylooks just like 9.0402:52
FloridaGuyim going to do a install from the netinstall cd..want to use a different mirror then they have on the install disk.....would this be right.....      ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu/dists/karmic/02:55
hggdhas long as the mirror is up-to-date, no problems02:55
FloridaGuyas far i know....i install the kernel 2.26.31.5 on 9.04....just to see what it would do on there02:56
FloridaGuyworked02:56
hggdhso your machine supports the kernel. Good. Now, you can either bite the bullet, and upgrade, or try to run a liveCD and see what happens02:58
FloridaGuyi dont even download the ubuntu live cd's anymore...for some reason with ubuntu the only installs that will install for me is the netinstall02:59
hggdhfor me, I have always installed with the alternate CD -- I use LVM, and multiple partitions on all my machines, and the liveCD did not support it (don't know nowadays, though)03:00
Sarvattohh good info on the g-p-m idle session problem here -- http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/07/30/accidental-blanking-and-gnome-power-manager/03:01
FloridaGuyhad 9.10 on the system the other day....could get my usb stick working....then i did a mount  -t vfat   /dev/sdf1   /media/usb...got it mounted but wasent able to write to it03:01
SarvattFloridaGuy: yeah you need some extra options for vfat usually, doing it through nautilus or whatever would add those. try mount -t vfat -o uid=1000,umask=077,utf8,shortname=mixed /dev/sdf1 /media/usb03:10
Sarvattyour user probably didnt have permission to write to it03:11
oldude67just to let you all know i did the retard update today and lost my internet..had to spend most of the day fixing my mess up..(03:19
oldude67so now i have the little icon down on the task bar telling me that the network manager is fubarred right now..ugh.03:19
oldude67ugh be back in an hour or so cause i didnt set up my full set of hard drives..it used the small one instead.03:21
Sarvattwhats wrong with network manager for people?03:23
Sarvatthe wasnt the first i've seen say that but i have no problems with the latest one03:23

DanaG07:12
kklimondaDanaG: well, the question remains when have you last seen crashing flash plugin ;)07:12
DanaGAll the time.07:13
DanaGOr rather07:13
DanaGI see it hammer the CPU... so I kill it.07:13

pierceanyone know why when I open new tabs in firefox, I always get redirected to the ubuntu version of google?  same with when I use the firefox search bar08:00
pierceI tried disabling the ubuntu firefox plugin, and the ubuntu google page is not my home page, so I don't know what the deal is08:01
soc1hi08:02
soc1nautilus is segfaulting here ...08:02
soc1any bug report?08:02
nhasianpierce, I'd like to know how to change the default page that opens with new tabs...08:18
piercenhasian: what do you see when opening new tabs?08:24
nhasiani'm running firefox-3.5 and it always opens up the ubuntu-google page.  i'd rather it open www.google.com/ig08:24
floatingbe brave and use chromium browser \o/08:24
nhasianchromium doesnt yet have flash for 64 bit08:25
floatingoh08:25
pierceI need the adblock and noscript :-/08:25
floatingi have an adblock on chromium08:25
floatingadsweep or such, is not as good as firefoxs adblock+ though08:25
nhasiandangit google, get on the ball.  where did all my investments in GOOG go?08:25
* floating goes to see whats noscript08:26
piercenoscript is amazing, everyone should use it08:26
nhasianpierce, whats it for?08:27
floatingespecially me, because with my poor intel grapchic controller, the flash on websites tend to harass my cpu08:27
piercestarted out as a way to control what domains you want to be able to execute javascript in your browser, but it has a ton more features now08:27
floatingbut i guess i manage without, since i'm not gonna run the heavyish firefox except for some debugging08:28
piercenoscript now has very good protection against most forms of xss and crsf attacks08:29
piercein general, it gives you much more control about security08:29
pierceit can also do things like https enforcement, and proper handling of files (so attackers can't hide executables in images etc)08:30
piercebut that really doesn't have much to do with karmic :-)08:31
pierceI was told to come here and ask about why ubuntu has taken over many of my firefox options, since people in the normal ubuntu channel didn't want to tell me08:31
nhasianhackers can hide executables in images?  since when?08:31
pierceabout a year ago at blackhat they talked about the gifar concept08:33
Boohbahpierce: yeah, what software do you have that executes images?08:33
piercehttp://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=161908:33
nhasianpierce, if you dont want firefox to be customized for ubuntu then just uninstall firefox-3.0-branding08:33
piercethere are basic protections in place that block the original attack, but the problem is far from being completely solved08:33
Boohbahpierce: notice the part about Java08:34
pierceI never installed firefox branding..  I didn't even know I had done that08:34
pierceBoohbah: do you think java is pretend so you don't need to worry about it?08:34
piercedammit, removing the branding removed firefox08:36
pierceThe following packages will be REMOVED:  firefox-3.5 firefox-3.5-branding08:37
Boohbahpierce: no, i'm saying you only need to worry about executable code hidden in image files when you are running java, and my browser usually pops up a window asking me to confirm that i want to run java08:38
nhasiancant you install firefox without the branding?08:38
nhasianif it wont let you do it from the ubuntu repo, i'm sure you can do it from the mozilla ppa08:38
piercenhasian: I see nothing that would let me do that  apt-get install firefox pulls in branding, and apt-get remove branding removes firefox08:39
pierceBoohbah: it only asks your permission when it thinks it's loading a jar file, not when your browser is loading an image08:40
piercethat's the problem08:41
nhasianpierce, try installing the firefox from here instead: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa08:42
nhasianhang on i think this is more current: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa08:43
piercenot really sure I need to run the most recent version of firefox possible :-/  I just want to get my normal search results back08:45
pierceand the big orange ubuntu logo every time I make a new tab is annoying08:46

mac_vanyone having problems with the latest updates?11:13
oldude67g/morning all11:19
mac_voldude67: heya.... what where the problems with the latest network manager updates? any wireless problems?11:21
oldude67idk about wireless as im on a hard line, but the manager itself is fubarred.11:22
oldude67icon in task bar says its highly unstable and will cause your desktop to crash, and it sure did.11:22
mac_vso its better to delay the network manager updates?11:23
oldude67i could see my eth0 card and i could modprobe it , but it wouldnt work no matter what i did.11:23
oldude67yes i would say so.i am11:23
mac_vi'm using wireless and surely i dont want to loose connection :)11:24
oldude67i couldnt even get a google connect..so i was lost and i just said the heck with it and started over..didnt have anything important on here yet to lose..thank god.11:24
oldude67but i was being impatient and tried another one of those partial updates and i really know better but...duh..did it anyways.11:26

gnomefreakloonyphoenix: 3.5 is going to be a little while to become default11:41
oldude67gnomefreak, not here it isnt.11:41
loonyphoenixwhat depends on firefox anyway?11:42
oldude67im using the kde network manager right now with an icon that says dont use the other it may crash your desktop.11:42
gnomefreakoldude67: you shouldnt have 3.5 as default yet11:42
gnomefreakoh11:42
oldude67yeah i was talking about network manager sorry.11:42
oldude67and i dont.11:42
loonyphoenixI understand reluctance at upgrading core components, but Firefox?11:42
gnomefreakloonyphoenix: its not that so much that is holding it up its more of xulrunner holding it up11:42
loonyphoenixwhat is xulrunner used for?11:43
gnomefreakloonyphoenix: it will be done soon (before next release)11:43
gnomefreakloonyphoenix: alot of apps have moved to depend on it11:43
oldude67was going to say its going to have to be done soon as things are going to be put on freeze before long i would think.11:43
gnomefreakso you can remove firefox without having the whole system be removed (done in jaunty)11:44
gnomefreakoldude67: it will, we are working on it. one major factor is do we remove xul.....1.9.0 and ff3.0 from repos all together11:44
oldude67ah i see, you know you will have die hards that will have a fit if you get rid of it all together.11:45

sash_Hello together. I tried to install karmic from a mini-iso to a virtualbox on jaunty. I created LVM and Encryption of /, /home and swap. Everything worked fine, until i started the installation of the system. I was told, the package <dontremember>.release.tar.gz would be broken and if I would install from a CD, I should burn it more slowly. Well, its an image ;). Before I start searching, I wanted to ask,12:20
sash_ if there are any known issues with karmic-mini.iso, lvm or encryption in the actual release? I am sure, that I have a networkconnection in the virtual machine (there is NAT by default in vbox and the gui tells me, it would be connected). Thanks for help.12:20

ubottuGnome bug 590500 in Backgrounds Emblems and Themes "Support for background transparency" [Enhancement,Resolved: duplicate]13:34
awaltonmac_v, from your latest attempt at explaining it, it is and it isn't. you want a composited icon container, just not desktop-specific, and that's not something we're ever likely to do.13:37
mac_vawalton: oh ok... well it was just a feature request :)13:39
awaltonthe only reason we really should add it for the desktop case is just so that nautilus can stop caring so much about the wallpaper13:40
ClapBedonPici : it's slowly downloading something13:40
awaltonit's really not nautilus' job, but since it draws the icons on the desktop, we inherited it :/13:41

bernieryeah I have it and I gotta admit it runs great18:33
curtis_Yeah I was expecting ass when they asked me to alpha test but it was NICE18:34
curtis_although at that stage unrealistically buggy18:34
jonathonfthe beta was pretty amazing for a beta18:34
curtis_which was sad because it corrupted that sector of the HD after a few weeks testing18:34
jonathonfthough having said that it was effectively vista+18:34
curtis_yeah the beta it was SIGNIFICANTLY improved18:34
curtis_it was WAY beyond Vista+18:35
curtis_and even if it was, if you take out the shit problems in Vista, you would have a good OS18:35
jonathonftrue18:35

stormy2kHi everyone. I got some problems using compiz in karmic. Everytime i switch on the desktop effects my cpu goes up to 100 % usage and stays there. System monitor tells me that gconfd-2 is using most of it20:19
jonathonfit's some power management bug or something20:19
jonathonfstormy2k: do a $ killall metacity20:20
DanaGMy screen randomly blanks, too.20:20
loonyphoenixalso, the cursor flickers constantly when it's dynamic (like the waiting cursor)20:20
stormy2kThanks, that did the trick...20:20
loonyphoenixDoes anybody have that?20:20
loonyphoenixalso, the video flickers in full screen when controls appear/disappear... are all these issues reported?20:21
SarvattDanaG: http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/07/30/accidental-blanking-and-gnome-power-manager/20:24
Sarvattdo you have intel video loonyphoenix? if so the cursor flicker is a well known issue20:25
DanaGhmm, my issue wasn't failure to unblank... it unblanks just fine.20:25
Sarvattyeah the problem is its reading the session idle wrong and calling a screen blank when its not really idle the first time it starts up20:25
=== dr0ppy is now known as dr0pknutz
diverse_izzueloonyphoenix, was that on battery?20:26
Sarvattin system - preferences - power management - battery it always goes idle and blanks the screen however many minutes you have it set there after the session starts, for me its just a one time thing though but thats probably because it doesnt detect that i'm on battery ever again after the first time i go off of ac power20:28
Sarvattif i kill devkit-power-daemon and g-p-m and restart them it'll blank again x minutes after i start them (whatever i have it set to)20:28
DanaGDoes the same thing also cause the "screen won't un-dim"?20:29
loonyphoenixSarvatt: yeah, intel video, though not battery20:29
Sarvattthat i dont know about, depends on the hardware and how it handles dpms20:29
loonyphoenixand the fullscreen video flicker?20:30
loonyphoenixthat's the same issue?20:30
Sarvattthats a 2.6.31-rc3+ issue20:31

loonyphoenixwe're waiting for it to float downstream?20:31
