[00:04] <BUGabundo> this darn bug is still open? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363558
[00:04] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 363558 in gnome-system-monitor "gnome-system-monitor renice causes close" [Low,Triaged]
[00:04] <BUGabundo> man, we are so NOT getting a good release this cycle
[00:07] <Twigathy> :S
[00:08] <Twigathy> wow
[00:08] <Twigathy> yep, I get that bug too
[00:08] <Twigathy> That's a bit...er....rubbish :/
[00:09] <BUGabundo> hey Twigathy
[00:09] <Twigathy> heya
[00:10] <Twigathy> Can't say I use g-s-m too often, but for a regular desktop user wanting to fiddle priority... that bug is a bit of a showstopper
[00:13] <richardcavell> Hi, 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?
[00:14] <stas> i don't think that my bug is caused by openssh
[00:14] <BUGabundo> hey richardcavell
[00:14] <richardcavell> hey BUG
[00:14] <BUGabundo> richardcavell: let me guess: you got the new NM ?
[00:14] <richardcavell> yep
[00:15]  * BUGabundo blames asac
[00:15] <BUGabundo> richardcavell: please hit TAB for autocompete
[00:15]  * stas gnight
[00:15] <richardcavell> I 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.
[00:16] <richardcavell> So I did that, then did update/upgrade overnight while I slept.
[00:16] <richardcavell> Now my computer has updated a whole stack of things, but network-manager-gnome is being 'kept back' according to apt-get
[00:16] <richardcavell> and it's gray in update manager
[00:16] <douglasawh-work> richardcavell: any reason you don't use the -force (or whatever it is)?
[00:16] <richardcavell> douglasawh-work: is that what I should do?
[00:16] <scizzo-> force?
[00:17] <richardcavell> I was told that there would be an update to apparmor, not network-manager, to fix the situation
[00:17] <richardcavell> at the moment the only way I'm online right now is by stopping apparmor
[00:17] <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?
[00:18] <scizzo-> richardcavell: that is either of the greyed out once?
[00:18] <richardcavell> scizzo-: um, how do I do that?
[00:18] <BUGabundo> douglasawh-work: don't force it!!!!!
[00:18] <connex> where is the menu.lst in grub 2?
[00:18] <BUGabundo> it will break depencies that SHOULD matche or NM won't work
[00:18] <BUGabundo> if it fails to get dependcies something is not building
[00:18] <yofel> !grub2 | connex
[00:18] <ubottu> connex: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[00:19] <BUGabundo> richardcavell: use aptitude safe-upgrade instead
[00:19] <BUGabundo> also try one of the NM PPAs
[00:19] <th1> connex, its got grub.cfg instead
[00:19] <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 ANYTHING
[00:19] <BUGabundo> we have 0.7.1, 0.7+ modem-manager and 0.8
[00:19] <scizzo-> richardcavell: or follow BUGabundo's info
[00:19] <scizzo-> richardcavell: safer to use the one that BUGabundo said
[00:20] <richardcavell> BUGabundo: is network-manager up to 0.8 though
[00:20] <richardcavell> BUGabundo: last night it was 0.7.1-git
[00:20] <richardcavell> but I was told that asac was preparing a solution
[00:20] <BUGabundo> richardcavell: $ apt-cache policy network-manager | pastebinit  http://paste.ubuntu.com/247572/
[00:20] <douglasawh-work> richardcavell: actually, the dist-upgrade is how I ended up fixing one of these before I think
[00:20] <BUGabundo>   Installed: 0.8~a~git.20090702t164632.9c8e600-0ubuntu1~nmt1
[00:21] <BUGabundo>      0.7.1.git.5.272c6a626-0ubuntu1 0
[00:21] <BUGabundo> so archive as .7.1
[00:21] <BUGabundo> PPA 0.8
[00:21] <BUGabundo> douglasawh-work: $ sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
[00:21] <BUGabundo> where do i know your nick from douglasawh-work?
[00:21] <connex> thanks, th1, yofel
[00:21]  * scizzo- is wondering what lib the old 0.7 net manager was dependent on...
[00:21] <douglasawh-work> BUGabundo: well, I've been in here before
[00:22] <BUGabundo> identica maybe??
[00:22] <douglasawh-work> yeah, but I'm daw there since pm whined about not being about to type douglasawh
[00:23] <BUGabundo> eeheeh
[00:23] <BUGabundo> I though I knew. welcome
[00:24] <richardcavell> BUGabundo: Okay, I'm currently doing apt-get update.  I'll then do safe-upgrade and get back to you.
[00:24] <aboSamoor> kubuntu 4.3 still not in the repositories ?
[00:25] <BUGabundo> should be
[00:25] <scizzo-> aboSamoor: you mean KDE 4.3?
[00:25] <BUGabundo> humm
[00:25] <BUGabundo> maybe PPA for now
[00:25] <BUGabundo> them they will copy the packages
[00:25] <aboSamoor> scizzo-, yeah
[00:26] <aboSamoor> BUGabundo, which ppa ?
[00:26] <connex> I can't get sound and it tells me the output device is null
[00:26] <BUGabundo> kubuntu team maybe ? LOLOL
[00:27] <connex> gnome-settings-daemon
[00:27] <connex> Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":1000.0".
[00:27] <connex> how bad is it?
[00:28] <scizzo-> aboSamoor: not sure...like BUGabundo said...check kubuntu team
[00:28] <scizzo-> aboSamoor: I have only seen libs at that version from the repos...not sure the whole stuff is there yet
[00:28] <scizzo-> aboSamoor: or if it will be
[00:28] <th1> connex, its normal if you're connecting to a remote desktop or something like that
[00:29] <connex> ok,
[00:29] <th1> what's :1000.0 anyway
=== Cuddles is now known as Fluffles
[00:29] <connex> what about the sound?
[00:29] <BUGabundo> if it is not
[00:29] <BUGabundo> give them a few hours
[00:29] <BUGabundo> they tend to work FAST
[00:29] <BUGabundo> but PPA should be updated
[00:29] <BUGabundo> connex: no idea
[00:29] <BUGabundo> file a bug
[00:30] <BUGabundo> don't get your hopes high. dtchen is traveling so he won't have time to look into it
[00:30] <aboSamoor> yeah, their backport ppa contains kde 4.3 but it is compiled against jaunty. so adding the ppa won't pull kde 4.3
[00:31] <scizzo-> th1: echo $DISPLAY
[00:31] <scizzo-> th1: it is the display or the screen number...
[00:32] <BUGabundo> ah??
[00:32] <BUGabundo> are you sure?
[00:32] <BUGabundo> they have a ppa for karmic
[00:32] <BUGabundo> aboSamoor: you must be looking in the wrong place
[00:34] <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...
[00:40] <th1> scizzo-, I know what it is
[00:40] <th1> but what kind of display is :1000
[00:56] <richardcavell> Guys 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/f18e66375
[01:00] <richardcavell> How do I get it to install the new network-manager-gnome?
[01:00]  * BUGabundo checks
[01:00] <BUGabundo> richardcavell: pastebin apt-cache
[01:01] <BUGabundo> richardcavell: $ apt-cache policy network-manager | pastebinit
[01:01] <richardcavell> http://pastebin.com/f7f8f2235
[01:06] <Sarvatt> woohoo i can tether with the broadcom propritary drivers, i guess it was something broken in b43 lately
[01:07] <Sarvatt> wlan1: No active IBSS STAs - trying to scan for other IBSS networks just pops up with b43, doesnt like the ad-hoc network with WEP
[01:08] <BUGabundo> could be worse Sarvatt
[01:09] <richardcavell> BUGabundo: any ideas?
[01:09] <BUGabundo> richardcavell: no
[01:10] <BUGabundo> no idea why you are hanging back
[01:10] <BUGabundo> can you pastebin modem manager too?
[01:10] <richardcavell> I just found out
[01:10] <richardcavell> I have to remove libmbca0
[01:10] <richardcavell> gotta log out now.  BRB
[01:11] <Sarvatt> why dont you dist-upgrade richardcavell? safe-upgrade is probably holding it back because mobile-broadband-provider-info is a new package?
[01:11] <BUGabundo> Sarvatt: he is gone
[01:11] <Sarvatt> ...and he left :D
[01:11] <BUGabundo> you really should enable parts
[01:14] <Sarvatt> i did, he parted the second i said it :D
[01:14] <bcurtiswx> the mobile-broadband package in the changelog says it breaks libmcba0, and synaptic wants to remove it... thats ok then.. right?
[01:14] <Sarvatt> ah that'd do it
[01:14] <Sarvatt> yeah
[01:15] <bcurtiswx> it being libmcba0
[01:15] <richardcavell> BUGabundo: Okay I'm all updated now.  All is well.
[01:16] <BUGabundo> YAY
[01:16] <BUGabundo> next time try aptitude force-upgrade
[01:16] <BUGabundo> to see what's left
[01:16] <BUGabundo> LOLOL
[01:17] <richardcavell> After what happened yesterday I don't think I'll be updating for a while
[01:17] <BUGabundo> WARNING: IT MAY BREAK YOUR LCD  and make you cry like a baby
[01:17] <Sarvatt> really should dist-upgrade during development, its normal for packages to get obsoleted and get removed like that
[01:17]  * bcurtiswx mutes BUGabundo
[01:17] <BUGabundo> richardcavell: worse! the more you update the less diff you may end up
[01:18] <BUGabundo> bcurtiswx: "the function you have selected has not implemeted yet. We are sorry"
[01:18] <BUGabundo> bcurtiswx: how are you ?
[01:18] <richardcavell> the only reason why I want Karmic is because of the newer Intel drivers anyway
[01:18] <bcurtiswx> sudo apt-get remove BUGabundo
[01:19] <richardcavell> I notice that Firefox 3.0.13 isn't in the repos yet.  It was released yesterday.
[01:19] <bcurtiswx> i wish theyd finally make firefox 3.5 default
[01:19] <BUGabundo> $ apt-get remove #ubuntu+1, world, universe: y,N,WHAT?
[01:19] <bcurtiswx> more testers is a good thing
[01:19] <BUGabundo> richardcavell: it won't be
[01:19] <BUGabundo> we are going with 3.5
[01:20] <bcurtiswx> like actually do it in the repos
[01:20] <BUGabundo> it was supposed to be TODAY on ppa security for testing
[01:20] <BUGabundo> if it works, archives get 3.5 default
[01:20] <richardcavell> I prefer 3.0
[01:21] <bcurtiswx> whats so special about 3.5 anyways?
[01:22] <SeveredCross> Better JavaScript engine, private browsing, supposedly svelter memory usage.
[01:24] <BUGabundo> richardcavell: why???
[01:24] <BUGabundo> its sooo slow
[01:24] <BUGabundo> and 3.6 is even faster
[01:24] <BUGabundo> and much less mem
[01:24] <BUGabundo> $ top | grep fox

[01:25] <richardcavell> that is actually your username?

[01:25] <BUGabundo> top crops it
[01:27] <richardcavell> Okay well I'm not using Update Manager for another month
[01:30] <BUGabundo> :)
[01:34] <hggdh> makes sense

[01:50] <BUGabundo> hey
[01:51] <BUGabundo> at least I'm good at something other then denting and filing bugs
[01:51] <BUGabundo> soooooooo
[01:51] <QPrime> *grin*
[01:51] <BUGabundo> we have a new patch for multisearch
[01:51] <BUGabundo> I wonder who is going to enable it back and test
[01:51] <BUGabundo> LOLOL
[01:53] <DanaG> Not I... I've actually dpkg-diverted the thing to get rid of it.
[01:54] <virtuald> i 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] <DanaG> Oh, and "multisearch" is a misnomer.
[01:54] <DanaG> if anything... it's an anti-multisearch.
[01:54] <DanaG> Google has multiple search types..... "multisearch" removes them!
[01:54] <DanaG> Bwahahaha.
[01:55] <BUGabundo> virtuald: already closed all my browsers
[01:55] <BUGabundo> what's that link about?
[01:55] <BUGabundo> I have flash 64bits , the new one for a few days
[01:56] <BUGabundo> sound is a total mess on the new flash
[01:56] <virtuald> bugabundo: then you have the newest
[01:56] <virtuald> yeah sound dies for me
[01:57] <BUGabundo> ok
[01:57]  * DanaG sticks to nspluginwrapp'd 32-bit one.
[01:57] <BUGabundo> err
[01:57] <BUGabundo> that's ugly
=== TwoToneSpirit is now known as jMyles
[01:58] <virtuald> i can't find the SRU
[01:58] <DanaG> ... but it lets you killall -9 npviewer.bin!
[01:58]  * BUGabundo $ mv /home/BUGabundo /dev/bed ; $ echo process delayed. HURRY UP
[01:59] <DanaG> Can't do that with bare flashplugin.
[01:59] <virtuald> o.o
[01:59] <DanaG> I was browsing online, and something started hammering my CPU.... and I realized that, oh, it's Flash being sucky, as usual.
[01:59]  * DanaG hits it with SIGKILL
[01:59] <BUGabundo> or JS on GMail :(
[01:59] <DanaG> Aah, much better.
[01:59]  * DanaG uses gmail via imap.
[01:59] <BUGabundo> dIMAP here
[02:00] <BUGabundo> NOW BED
[02:00] <BUGabundo> bye
[02:00] <DanaG> D-imap?
[02:00] <DanaG> or was that a typo?
[02:00] <DanaG> Grr: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2009-August/002183.html
[02:01] <virtuald> dimap?
[02:01] <virtuald> disconnected imap
[02:02] <DanaG> ah.
[02:02] <DanaG> Something the battstat applet gives, that g-p-m does not give: accurate power usage info.
[02:02] <DanaG> Or rather, directly read from battery -- so it seems more correct than g-p-m's estimates.
[02:02] <virtuald> o.o
[02:03] <DanaG> And it shows percentage of charge at a glance.
[02:03] <DanaG> Can't do that with gnome-power-manager.
[02:03] <virtuald> i don't use batteries - does g-p-m have some heuristic?
[02:04] <DanaG> Yeah.  It profiles the battery over time.
[02:04] <virtuald> ok
[02:04] <DanaG> But in my case, it underestimates the accuracy of my battery's capacity indications.
[02:04] <DanaG> Says it's 0% accurate when below 50% battery, when it's really just fine.
[02:06] <virtuald> did you report it?
[02:06] <DanaG> Hmm, I've usually just ignored it.
[02:06] <virtuald> ok
[02:06] <DanaG> Oh yeah, and battstat applet shows the time right in the panel.
[02:07] <DanaG> g-p-m just shows this vague sort of ballpark-figure percentage thingy, via icon changes.
[02:07] <DanaG> 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100.
[02:11] <bjsnider> QPrime, what are you talking about?
[02:18] <DanaG> hah, and the mouse battery thingy has only 0, 60, and 100.
[02:18] <Sarvatt> hmm, i cant even add the battery charge monitor applet :(
[02:19] <DanaG> You probably already have the update installed.
[02:20] <Sarvatt> is it from the battery-stats package DanaG?
[02:20] <DanaG> no, it's from the gnome-applets package.
[02:20] <Sarvatt> when i try to add Battery Charge Monitor (Deprecated) it runs /usr/lib/gnome-applets/null_applet --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_NullAppl
[02:20] <DanaG> http://battstat.sourceforge.net/
[02:21] <Sarvatt> devicekit-power is all screwed up for all of my laptops, it thinks its fully charged when i unplug no matter what
[02:21] <DanaG> Note the nicer thing: one icon for power state, one icon for percent charge.
[02:21] <DanaG> Though oddly, the one in gnome is not exactly the same as this one here.
[02:22] <Sarvatt> i didnt like the old one at all, preferred g-p-m back when it worked
[02:22] <Sarvatt> but if it actually works i'll gladly use it (not that i can for some reason)
[02:22] <DanaG> because... it's been removed!
[02:23] <Sarvatt> i've just been using a bash alias to cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state :(
[02:24] <Sarvatt> wonder if it'd work right if i rebuilt d-k-p and g-p-m with hal support
[02:26] <Sarvatt> just 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 that
[02:27] <DanaG> It also underestimates accuracy.
[02:27] <Sarvatt> like in /apps/gnome-power-manager/general/
[02:27] <DanaG> Gnome devs at work: notice how much more configurable the battstat-applet used to be.
[02:27] <DanaG> Now there's just layout options.
[02:32] <Sarvatt> maybe try disabling /apps/gnome-power-manager/general/use_profile_time so it can relearn it or something I was thinking
[02:32] <DanaG> odd... 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.
[02:33] <DanaG> So, I can sit there hitting my middle button to close window, over and over.... and it ignores me.
[02:35] <Sarvatt> http://sarvatt.com/downloads/gpm.txt thats what i get, i'm sitting here on battery power and it thinks its fully charged
[02:36] <DanaG> hmm, does it ever give updates at all?
[02:36] <DanaG> I normally see multiple of the battery-info thingies, as it reports changes.
[02:37] <Sarvatt> nope it doesnt give updates until i plug in again
[02:37] <Sarvatt> ohhh interesting
[02:37] <Sarvatt> i killed devkit-power-daemon and restarted it then restarted g-p-m and its right
[02:38] <Sarvatt> wonder if it has something to do with it thinking the lid is always closed
[02:40] <Sarvatt> its even decreasing, didnt just load the right values and die there or anything
[02:42] <FloridaGuy> from 9.04 to 9.10...what would be better or faster...my netinstall cd...or upgrade
[02:43] <Sarvatt> do you want to change anything like switching to ext4?
[02:44] <Sarvatt> lol! screen just blanked, maybe the reason I havent been having this problem lately is because g-p-m hasnt been working
[02:44] <FloridaGuy> .... /boot..../...../home already ext4 and runing grub2
[02:45] <virtuald> gpm is a console mouse daemon so it did confuse me a bit before as i don't have a laptop
[02:45] <Sarvatt> you'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 uses
[02:45] <virtuald> i mean you calling gnome-power-manager gpm
[02:45] <Sarvatt> we're talking about gnome-power-manager, sorry about that
[02:46] <virtuald> <:
[02:46] <virtuald> no problem
[02:46] <FloridaGuy> wouldent upgradeing do all that
[02:46] <Sarvatt> its not for alot of people, dunno why
[02:46] <FloridaGuy> sence im alrady useing grub2
[02:47] <Sarvatt> its upgrading grub2 on the system but not installing the updated grub2 to the mbr
[02:47] <Sarvatt> if you get errors about --no-floppy just sudo grub-install /dev/whatever
[02:48] <FloridaGuy> i dont have a floppy so dont have to worry about that
[02:48] <zaccour> how is 3 alpha?
[02:48] <zaccour> is it faster than the current?
[02:49] <zaccour> huh?
[02:49] <DanaG> ughm stupid youtube.
[02:49] <DanaG> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKcLp33QgFg&feature=related
[02:49] <DanaG> Try clicking the seek bar... it ignores me.
[02:49] <DanaG> Same for all the other buttons.
[02:50] <zaccour> how is the alpha 3?
[02:50] <zaccour> should i upgrade now?
[02:51] <hggdh> zaccour, it is always a bet. For me, with rare exceptions (like this morning) it has been rather stable for a development series
[02:51] <hggdh> in other words: no issue I could not get myself out
[02:51] <zaccour> whats the default theme look like?
[02:52] <FloridaGuy> August 13th...alpha3
[02:52] <FloridaGuy> alpha4
[02:52] <hggdh> *that*, I do not know... don't use it
[02:52] <FloridaGuy> looks just like 9.04
[02:55] <FloridaGuy> im 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] <hggdh> as long as the mirror is up-to-date, no problems
[02:56] <FloridaGuy> as far i know....i install the kernel 2.26.31.5 on 9.04....just to see what it would do on there
[02:56] <FloridaGuy> worked
[02:58] <hggdh> so your machine supports the kernel. Good. Now, you can either bite the bullet, and upgrade, or try to run a liveCD and see what happens
[02:59] <FloridaGuy> i dont even download the ubuntu live cd's anymore...for some reason with ubuntu the only installs that will install for me is the netinstall
[03:00] <hggdh> for 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)
[03:01] <Sarvatt> ohh 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] <FloridaGuy> had 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 it
[03:10] <Sarvatt> FloridaGuy: 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/usb
[03:11] <Sarvatt> your user probably didnt have permission to write to it
[03:19] <oldude67> just 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] <oldude67> so now i have the little icon down on the task bar telling me that the network manager is fubarred right now..ugh.
[03:21] <oldude67> ugh be back in an hour or so cause i didnt set up my full set of hard drives..it used the small one instead.
[03:23] <Sarvatt> whats wrong with network manager for people?
[03:23] <Sarvatt> he wasnt the first i've seen say that but i have no problems with the latest one

[03:24] <DanaG> why is it that people always feel the need to type........their.............demo...........text..........annoyingly..........slowly............
[03:24] <DanaG> instead of just having it already typed in ahead of time?
[03:25] <DanaG> oh, and flash seems to be ignoring mouse clicks.
[04:54] <yoasif> anyone seeing a gdm bug where as soon as you select a user and the login box gets smaller, the space formerly occupied by the box becomes black?
[04:54] <DanaG> yeah, happens to me.
[04:55] <yoasif> has that been reported?
[04:55] <virtuald> yes
[04:55] <yoasif> i think this is it

[05:20] <DanaG> Unfortunately, Adobe is the one to blame here.
[05:20] <akio> yep
[05:20] <akio> I want smooth flash
[05:21] <akio> html 5 baby
[05:21] <DanaG> I want non-cpu-devouring, non-crashing Flash.
[05:21] <akio> you save the chrome experiments?
[05:21] <DanaG> I still like nspluginwrapper, because it lets me nuke flash objects very quickly:
[05:21] <akio> saw*
[05:22] <DanaG> woot:  killall -9 npviewer.bin
[05:23] <akio> I hope flash becomes obsolete
[05:25] <DanaG> Me too.
[05:26] <yoasif> i hope canvas + svg + js kills it
[05:26] <yoasif> and <video>
[05:27] <akio> that is html 5 no?
[05:28] <DanaG> handy thing I did with my gdm: enabled the volume-control plugin.
[05:28] <DanaG> So now my volume slider thingy works there.
[05:54] <bjsnider> <video> will not kill flash without more codec support and more browser support
[06:40] <DanaG> grr, screen randomly blanked.
[06:53] <pace_t_zulu> anyone else having problems with pulse audio?
[06:54] <kklimonda> no ;)
[06:54] <kklimonda> seriously, works fine here :)
=== SwedMike is now known as SwedeMike
[07:10] <pace_t_zulu> kklimonda: yeah, it seems as if it is an issue in pulseaudio's interaction with ff3.5
[07:11] <DanaG> PA works fine for me, too.
[07:11] <kklimonda> pace_t_zulu: works fine with ff3.5
[07:11] <pace_t_zulu> DanaG, well if it works for you it must be ok ;)
[07:11] <DanaG> I use the 32-bit Flash.
[07:12] <pace_t_zulu> kklimonda: i'll look into it further before i bring it up again
[07:12] <DanaG> npviewer.bin is nice... it crashes when Flash fails, instead of letting Flash take down Firefox itself.
[07:12] <DanaG> =þ
[07:12] <kklimonda> DanaG: well, the question remains when have you last seen crashing flash plugin ;)
[07:13] <DanaG> All the time.
[07:13] <DanaG> Or rather
[07:13] <DanaG> I see it hammer the CPU... so I kill it.
[07:13] <DanaG> With nspluginwrapper, you can do that.
[07:13] <DanaG> killall -9 npviewer.bin.  bye bye, flash cpu usage!
[07:14] <pace_t_zulu> i'm having trouble with youtube videos...
[07:14] <pace_t_zulu> hmm
[07:14] <DanaG> yeah, they don't respond correctly to clicking!
[07:14] <DanaG> wtf... my panel applet shows my audio muted...
[07:14] <DanaG> I uncheck "mute" -- it stays muted (checked)!
[07:15] <DanaG> Oh, it's that stupid "Minimum volume is the same thing as mute" idea.
[07:15] <DanaG> NO IT'S NOT!  YOU'RE WRONG, GNOME!
[07:15] <DanaG> =þ
[07:15] <DanaG> If I uncheck "mute" and it stays muted.... that's broken.  No matter how you slice it.
[07:17] <pace_t_zulu> yea youtube videos fastforward
[07:17] <pace_t_zulu> it's lame
[07:17] <kklimonda> I hate that totem is intercepting all media keys..
[07:18] <kklimonda> what's really funny is the fact that it's not even running anymore
[08:00] <pierce> anyone 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 bar
[08:01] <pierce> I tried disabling the ubuntu firefox plugin, and the ubuntu google page is not my home page, so I don't know what the deal is
[08:02] <soc1> hi
[08:02] <soc1> nautilus is segfaulting here ...
[08:02] <soc1> any bug report?
[08:18] <nhasian> pierce, I'd like to know how to change the default page that opens with new tabs...
[08:24] <pierce> nhasian: what do you see when opening new tabs?
[08:24] <nhasian> i'm running firefox-3.5 and it always opens up the ubuntu-google page.  i'd rather it open www.google.com/ig
[08:24] <floating> be brave and use chromium browser \o/
[08:25] <nhasian> chromium doesnt yet have flash for 64 bit
[08:25] <floating> oh
[08:25] <pierce> I need the adblock and noscript :-/
[08:25] <floating> i have an adblock on chromium
[08:25] <floating> adsweep or such, is not as good as firefoxs adblock+ though
[08:25] <nhasian> dangit google, get on the ball.  where did all my investments in GOOG go?
[08:26]  * floating goes to see whats noscript
[08:26] <pierce> noscript is amazing, everyone should use it
[08:27] <nhasian> pierce, whats it for?
[08:27] <floating> especially me, because with my poor intel grapchic controller, the flash on websites tend to harass my cpu
[08:27] <pierce> started 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 now
[08:28] <floating> but i guess i manage without, since i'm not gonna run the heavyish firefox except for some debugging
[08:29] <pierce> noscript now has very good protection against most forms of xss and crsf attacks
[08:29] <pierce> in general, it gives you much more control about security
[08:30] <pierce> it can also do things like https enforcement, and proper handling of files (so attackers can't hide executables in images etc)
[08:31] <pierce> but that really doesn't have much to do with karmic :-)
[08:31] <pierce> I 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 me
[08:31] <nhasian> hackers can hide executables in images?  since when?
[08:33] <pierce> about a year ago at blackhat they talked about the gifar concept
[08:33] <Boohbah> pierce: yeah, what software do you have that executes images?
[08:33] <pierce> http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=1619
[08:33] <nhasian> pierce, if you dont want firefox to be customized for ubuntu then just uninstall firefox-3.0-branding
[08:33] <pierce> there are basic protections in place that block the original attack, but the problem is far from being completely solved
[08:34] <Boohbah> pierce: notice the part about Java
[08:34] <pierce> I never installed firefox branding..  I didn't even know I had done that
[08:34] <pierce> Boohbah: do you think java is pretend so you don't need to worry about it?
[08:36] <pierce> dammit, removing the branding removed firefox
[08:37] <pierce> The following packages will be REMOVED:  firefox-3.5 firefox-3.5-branding
[08:38] <Boohbah> pierce: 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 java
[08:38] <nhasian> cant you install firefox without the branding?
[08:38] <nhasian> if it wont let you do it from the ubuntu repo, i'm sure you can do it from the mozilla ppa
[08:39] <pierce> nhasian: I see nothing that would let me do that  apt-get install firefox pulls in branding, and apt-get remove branding removes firefox
[08:40] <pierce> Boohbah: it only asks your permission when it thinks it's loading a jar file, not when your browser is loading an image
[08:41] <pierce> that's the problem
[08:42] <nhasian> pierce, try installing the firefox from here instead: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa
[08:43] <nhasian> hang on i think this is more current: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa
[08:45] <pierce> not really sure I need to run the most recent version of firefox possible :-/  I just want to get my normal search results back
[08:46] <pierce> and the big orange ubuntu logo every time I make a new tab is annoying

[11:13] <mac_v> anyone having problems with the latest updates?
[11:19] <oldude67> g/morning all
[11:21] <mac_v> oldude67: heya.... what where the problems with the latest network manager updates? any wireless problems?
[11:22] <oldude67> idk about wireless as im on a hard line, but the manager itself is fubarred.
[11:22] <oldude67> icon in task bar says its highly unstable and will cause your desktop to crash, and it sure did.
[11:23] <mac_v> so its better to delay the network manager updates?
[11:23] <oldude67> i could see my eth0 card and i could modprobe it , but it wouldnt work no matter what i did.
[11:23] <oldude67> yes i would say so.i am
[11:24] <mac_v> i'm using wireless and surely i dont want to loose connection :)
[11:24] <oldude67> i 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.
[11:26] <oldude67> but i was being impatient and tried another one of those partial updates and i really know better but...duh..did it anyways.
[11:26] <oldude67> although after all of this im getting good at fixing the grub for my intel video..lmao
[11:33] <loonyphoenix> my notify-osd stopped working
[11:33] <loonyphoenix> how do I restart it?
[11:38] <loonyphoenix> nevermind
[11:39] <gnomefreak> what the net connection bug fixed?
[11:40] <loonyphoenix> btw, what's the holdup updating firefox? why is karmic still running 3.0?
[11:41] <gnomefreak> loonyphoenix: 3.5 is going to be a little while to become default
[11:41] <oldude67> gnomefreak, not here it isnt.
[11:42] <loonyphoenix> what depends on firefox anyway?
[11:42] <oldude67> im using the kde network manager right now with an icon that says dont use the other it may crash your desktop.
[11:42] <gnomefreak> oldude67: you shouldnt have 3.5 as default yet
[11:42] <gnomefreak> oh
[11:42] <oldude67> yeah i was talking about network manager sorry.
[11:42] <oldude67> and i dont.
[11:42] <loonyphoenix> I understand reluctance at upgrading core components, but Firefox?
[11:42] <gnomefreak> loonyphoenix: its not that so much that is holding it up its more of xulrunner holding it up
[11:43] <loonyphoenix> what is xulrunner used for?
[11:43] <gnomefreak> loonyphoenix: it will be done soon (before next release)
[11:43] <gnomefreak> loonyphoenix: alot of apps have moved to depend on it
[11:43] <oldude67> was 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.
[11:44] <gnomefreak> so you can remove firefox without having the whole system be removed (done in jaunty)
[11:44] <gnomefreak> oldude67: it will, we are working on it. one major factor is do we remove xul.....1.9.0 and ff3.0 from repos all together
[11:45] <oldude67> ah i see, you know you will have die hards that will have a fit if you get rid of it all together.
[11:45] <gnomefreak> other things have kept me busy the past coupleof months but i will know when it happens before most
[11:46] <gnomefreak> oldude67: i know hence the major facktor
[11:46] <gnomefreak> ignore the typos its way too early
[11:46] <oldude67> i hear ya..lol

[11:48] <gnomefreak> be back
[11:48] <soc1> nautilus is segfaulting here ...
[11:48] <soc1> any bug report?
[11:49] <oldude67> soc1, i dont know if there is a bug report or not but i know there have been several people in here complaining about it.
[11:50] <soc1> mh ok
[11:50] <soc1> oldude67: looks really weird when the panel is filling up
[11:50] <soc1> because it tries to restart nautilus everytime it segfaults ...
[11:51] <oldude67> well dont know about weird but a pain in the arse sounds more like it.
[11:51] <soc1> right :-)
[11:52] <oldude67> is nautilus a file manager like dolphin i forget?
[11:55] <Mathematician> oldude67: yeah, dolphin is a file manager
[11:56] <oldude67> yeah i knew that was wondering about nautilus im googling now to see..lol im old so i forget things easy..lmao
[12:01] <gnomefreak> oldude67: apt-cache show nautilus  show give you everything
[12:02] <oldude67> thats cool google had a ton of crap about it..but it answered my question for me.
[12:20] <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.

[13:11] <ClapBedon> I need a hand with a dist-upgrade
[13:12] <ClapBedon> I was trying to upgrade to karmic but had to shut it down while downloading packages (i've got a very slow connection)
[13:12] <ClapBedon> But when I try to restart dist-upgrade, it doesn't show karmic anymore
[13:13] <ClapBedon> but says that my system is fully up to date
=== rep-eat is now known as repete
[13:14] <ClapBedon> any idea ?
[13:19] <ClapBedon> should /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release mention karmic in some way ? I really don't know
[13:27] <Pici> ClapBedon: I don't even have that file on my machine.... What does lsb_release -a report?
[13:28] <ClapBedon> Pici : that's it jaunty 9.04
[13:29] <Pici> ClapBedon: Then it sounds like your upgrade didn't complete sucessfully.  What tool did you use in the beginning to upgrade to Karmic?
[13:29] <ClapBedon> No LSB modules are available. ; Distributor ID:	Ubuntu ; Description:	Ubuntu 9.04 ; Release:	9.04 ; Codename:	jaunty
[13:29] <ClapBedon> update-manager -d
[13:30] <ClapBedon> i had to close it while it was still downloading packages
[13:30] <ClapBedon> so nothing got installed at all
[13:30] <Pici> ClapBedon: Thats at least good, what happens if you run update-manager -d again?
[13:31] <ClapBedon> it tells me that I'm up to date, and that no newer distribution is available
[13:34] <Pici> ClapBedon: hrmm.. Could you try doing do-release-upgrade -d   perhaps?
[13:34] <mac_v> awalton: Hi... i'm confused about the bug , http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590500 , i dont think its a dup
[13:34] <ubottu> Gnome bug 590500 in Backgrounds Emblems and Themes "Support for background transparency" [Enhancement,Resolved: duplicate]
[13:37] <awalton> mac_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.
[13:39] <mac_v> awalton: oh ok... well it was just a feature request :)
[13:40] <awalton> the only reason we really should add it for the desktop case is just so that nautilus can stop caring so much about the wallpaper
[13:40] <ClapBedon> Pici : it's slowly downloading something
[13:41] <awalton> it's really not nautilus' job, but since it draws the icons on the desktop, we inherited it :/

[17:18] <mac_v> slacker_nl: #update-manager -d
[17:18] <mac_v> run that^
[17:18] <slacker_nl> mkay
[17:18] <mac_v> no need to edit /etc
[17:19] <slacker_nl> mac_v: do you have a non-gui method?
[17:19] <mac_v> slacker_nl: i dont know
[17:20] <slacker_nl> mkay
[17:21] <jonathonf> yeah, i presume karmic packages are in the process of being built/approved
[17:22] <slacker_nl> mac_v: do-release-upgrade -d
[17:22] <slacker_nl> https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/installing-upgrading.html
[17:24] <Zorael> Suddenly karmic packages are (partially) available ;3
[17:32] <alphaaquilae> hello world, my mic doesn't work, can someone help me to configure it?
[17:36] <alphaaquilae>  hello world, my mic doesn't work, can someone help me to configure it?
[17:37] <scizzo-> Zorael: what exactly do you mean with that?
[17:37] <scizzo-> Zorael: do you mean partial upgrade comes up?
[17:38] <alphaaquilae> i have an integrated mic in my sony viao computer, yet i can't record with it
[17:38] <Zorael> scizzo-: No, just commented on earlier exchange. karmic KDE 4.3 packages, couldn't fetch them earlier and now they're partially available.
[17:38] <jonathonf> lol, good good :)
[17:38] <jonathonf> i need to set up a vm to test kubuntu... i want to see what's changed in KDE 4.3
[17:38] <jonathonf> hmm... whether to install from an Ubuntu iso then install kubutu-desktop, or download a whole new Kubuntu iso...
[17:39] <scizzo-> Zorael: might be because they are not fully there yet
[17:39] <scizzo-> Zorael: you should check with kubuntu team instead
[17:39] <jonathonf> alphaaquilae: heard you the first time, was looking on ubuntuforums for the same problem
[17:40] <jonathonf> alphaaquilae: go to the sound manager, click the hardware tab, select your hardware, make sure it has both input and output selected in the drop down menu.
[17:40] <jonathonf> alphaaquilae: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1230642
[17:40] <scizzo-> dupondje: have you tried running aptitude using another user?
[17:40] <scizzo-> dupondje: also with another terminal like xterm?
[17:50] <alphaaquilae> jonathonf: can't fine hardware tab, do you mean by sound manager volume control or sound preferences?
[17:51] <jonathonf> system, preferences, sound
[17:51] <jonathonf> check the setup in hardware
[17:51] <jonathonf> then make sure a device is selected under input
[17:52] <alphaaquilae> yes i've already checked it, but i can't fine hardware tab, i have only devices and sound tabs?!
[18:01] <jonathonf> alphaaquilae: could you check the version of gnome-media with $ apt-cache policy gnome-media
[18:02] <alphaaquilae> jonathonf: gnome-media:
[18:02] <alphaaquilae>   Installé : 2.26.0-0ubuntu3
[18:02] <alphaaquilae>   Candidat : 2.26.0-0ubuntu3
[18:02] <alphaaquilae>  Table de version :

[18:02] <alphaaquilae>         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
[18:03] <jonathonf> are you running karmic?
[18:03] <jonathonf> no
[18:03] <jonathonf> that would be why
[18:03] <jonathonf> i have version 2.27.5
[18:05] <alphaaquilae> what should i do then jonathonf?
[18:05] <Pici> alphaaquilae: This channel is only for Karmic (9.10) discussion and support. Support for current versions of Ubuntu can be found in #ubuntu
[18:05] <jonathonf> i would suggest you try #ubuntu-fr or #ubuntu
[18:06] <alphaaquilae> can't get a reponse from there
[18:06] <alphaaquilae> thx anyway
[18:07] <jonathonf> there will be a solution, but without a jaunty box to poke about on i can't help you any further ;)
[18:07] <coz_> alphaaquilae,   if no one responds in a channel . .. it's likely no one is avaiable who knows the answer...however...if you try #linux  channel....you may get an answer :)
[18:08] <alphaaquilae> ok i'll try it
[18:08] <alphaaquilae> thanks
[18:09] <coz_> no problem
[18:10] <cdE|Woozy> if I change the balance setting to something other than "middle" in gnome-volume-control and change the volume after that, balance bounces back to middle. bug in gnome-volume-control, then?

[18:18] <bernier> Hi, I want to break my system. How can I upgrade from jaunty to karmic?
[18:19] <jonathonf> lol
[18:19] <jonathonf> update-manager -d
[18:19] <jonathonf> but it likely won' break
[18:19] <jonathonf> :)
[18:20] <bernier> I know, but I usually get a warning when I ask this type of question
[18:20] <bernier> thank you.
[18:20] <curtis_> So I want to break my system. Upgrade method please?
[18:21] <jonathonf> whoa
[18:21] <bernier> lmao
[18:21] <jonathonf> deja vu
[18:21] <jonathonf> $ update-manager -d
[18:21] <curtis_> say wuh?
[18:21] <jonathonf> but it likely won' break
[18:21] <curtis_> oh wow that's it
[18:21] <curtis_> easier than I thought
[18:21] <jonathonf> yeah :)
[18:21] <curtis_> will it keep all my settings or am I have to install everything again?
[18:21] <jonathonf> keep everything
[18:22] <curtis_> oh nice
[18:22] <jonathonf> justy like a normal distribution upgrade
[18:22] <bernier> I'm using kubuntu, which seems not to have update manager
[18:22]  * jonathonf uses plain Ubuntu
[18:22] <jonathonf> i have no idea, i'm sure there is a way
[18:22] <curtis_> well here's hoping to it not breaking, but just incase I also have Debian, Vista, 7, and OSX Leopard installed
[18:22] <curtis_> overkill?
[18:22] <curtis_> probably
[18:22] <jonathonf> lol, no
[18:22] <jonathonf> i have karmic, 7 and 10.5.6 also :)
[18:23] <curtis_> bernier: this is what you get for using kubuntu
[18:23] <bernier> lol
[18:23] <curtis_> trust your processor to deal with a regular load
[18:23] <curtis_> it's what it's made for trust me
[18:23] <curtis_> 10.5.6?
[18:23] <curtis_> wtdaf?
[18:23] <curtis_> the NEW new ubuntu?
[18:24] <bernier> lol
[18:24] <bernier> mac
[18:24] <jonathonf> lol
[18:24] <curtis_> oh okay
[18:24] <curtis_> yeah just looked
[18:24] <curtis_> they want me to Bet Snow Leopard
[18:24] <curtis_> or did
[18:24] <curtis_> actually I think they still do
[18:24] <curtis_> I'm like HARD DRIVE WILL MELT!!!!
[18:25] <jonathonf> not sure Snow Leopard will install on mine... at least not yet
[18:25] <curtis_> I haz huge processor
[18:25] <jonathonf> lol
[18:25] <jonathonf> it's not the size of it that counts...
[18:25] <curtis_> oh but it IS the processor
[18:26] <bernier> i7?
[18:26] <curtis_> hold on
[18:26] <curtis_> shallrun lspci

[18:28] <curtis_> far far more
[18:29] <curtis_> more than I want to admit to

[18:29] <curtis_> higher
[18:29] <bernier> lol
[18:29] <curtis_> it was more than the paypal transaction limit LMFAO
[18:29] <DanaG> You speaking of desktop, or laptop?
[18:29] <curtis_> desktop
[18:29] <bernier> could have built the same with much lower price
[18:29] <DanaG> google for HP Z800.
[18:29] <jonathonf> was thinking it's expensive for a desktop
[18:29] <bernier> parts by parts
[18:29] <DanaG> Now that... is a beast of a machine.

[18:30] <curtis_> no my friend
[18:30] <curtis_> THAT is a beast of a machine
[18:30] <curtis_> and that is mine
[18:30] <curtis_> but with all the upgrades at max
[18:30] <curtis_> except for one I think but I forget which :P
[18:30] <bernier> are you rich?
[18:30] <curtis_> not particularly
[18:30] <curtis_> actually not at all
[18:31] <curtis_> but one spring and summer working on computers at best buy and not spending a dime on ANYTHING, and that's what I decided to get
[18:31] <bernier> can you run CS 1.6 with > 100 FPS?
[18:31] <curtis_> I have no idea
[18:31] <jonathonf> but will it run Crysis?
[18:31] <curtis_> I've never tried
[18:31] <bernier> lol
[18:31] <bernier> suely you do
[18:31] <curtis_> nothing will run Crysis
[18:32] <curtis_> they like to say t's because your system sucks ass
[18:32] <curtis_> really it's because the game sucks ass
[18:32] <curtis_> :P
[18:32] <jonathonf> lol
[18:32] <jonathonf> have to admit i've never tried it
[18:32] <jonathonf> i'm happy with CoD4 running in Wine :D
[18:32] <jonathonf> quite impressed it works as well as it does
[18:33] <curtis_> Here's the real question right here
[18:33] <DanaG> http://www.justechn.com/2009/05/27/review-hp-z800-8-core-workstation
[18:33] <curtis_> why haven't you just downloaded and installed the FREE Windows 7 RC
[18:33] <curtis_> because guess what
[18:33] <curtis_> that works about four times better than wine does
[18:33] <jonathonf> i have
[18:33] <jonathonf> but it means i have to reboot just to play games :)
[18:33] <curtis_> well then RUN IT IN 7 DAMNIT
[18:33] <bernier> yeah I have it and I gotta admit it runs great
[18:34] <curtis_> Yeah I was expecting ass when they asked me to alpha test but it was NICE
[18:34] <curtis_> although at that stage unrealistically buggy
[18:34] <jonathonf> the beta was pretty amazing for a beta
[18:34] <curtis_> which was sad because it corrupted that sector of the HD after a few weeks testing
[18:34] <jonathonf> though having said that it was effectively vista+
[18:34] <curtis_> yeah the beta it was SIGNIFICANTLY improved
[18:35] <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 OS
[18:35] <jonathonf> true
[18:35] <curtis_> 7 does this, so ultimately whatever you want to call it it works incredibly well
[18:35] <jussi01> !ot

[18:35] <jonathonf> be back soon
[18:36] <curtis_> jussi01: you just blew my mind onto the ceiling, shall join that channel after joining this one after being told the FIRST one is the wrong on to discuss Ubuntu Karmic
[18:37] <jussi01> curtis_: my backlog is filled with vista discussion, whats in yours?
[18:38] <curtis_> if you are reffering to the last three minutes then yes quite obviously mine is filled with the same
[18:38] <jussi01> curtis_: ,y point exactly. lets try to stick to karmic, shall we?
[18:38] <curtis_> yes lets
[18:39] <jussi01> curtis_: thanks :)
[18:39] <curtis_> jussi01: First one's free ;)
[18:42] <curtis_> is there an ubuntu channel for compiling a personal kernel as well or is that a shot in the dark with no impact heard?
[18:44] <hix> #kernel ?
[18:59] <aboSamoor> the new sound properties does not have mixer ? anyway to be sure that the mic configured correctly
[19:01] <BUGabundo> my android G2 arrived WOOT
[19:01] <aboSamoor> BUGabundo, with karmic ?
[19:02] <BUGabundo> ehehheheheehe
[19:03] <Sarvatt> yuck, why'd you pick a G2 over a G1? :D
[19:03] <aboSamoor> BUGabundo, how much does it cost ?
[19:04] <BUGabundo> 225€
[19:04] <Sarvatt> i dont think theres even any terminal apps that use an onscreen keyboard :(
[19:04] <aboSamoor> BUGabundo, this is with the lease ?
[19:05] <BUGabundo> nope
[19:05] <BUGabundo> fully paid
[19:05] <EagleScreen> kvkbd is onscreen keyboard
[19:05] <Sarvatt> i mean for android
[19:07] <Sarvatt> BUGabundo: for the fun stuff -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=480 :)
[19:07] <EagleScreen> i do not know very well what android is, but isn't it a GNU/Linux system?
[19:08] <BUGabundo> it is EagleScreen
[19:08] <BUGabundo> maybe some day I can put ubuntu mid on it
[19:08] <Sarvatt> did you get a 288MB ram or a 192MB ram version? should say on the sticker that was on the screen
[19:09] <EagleScreen> BUGabundo: if it is a GNU/Linux system, why can't you install kvkbd on it?
[19:09] <Sarvatt> its not a GNU/Linux system is why
[19:10] <EagleScreen> oh okay
[19:10] <BUGabundo> Sarvatt: not sure
[19:11] <BUGabundo> I think it's the 288
[19:11] <Sarvatt> just uses the linux kernel, has its own specific libc
[19:11] <Sarvatt> but you can install things in a chroot, i have karmic armel on mine
[19:12] <Sarvatt> i use it for compiling armel packages, actually is faster than qemu chroot speeds on my machines
[19:18] <itswhatev> anyone found a fix/workaround for brasero's inability to detect a blank cd?
[19:19] <bmunger> k3b?
[19:19] <durt> *cough* xfburn
[19:20] <durt> but then again brasero hasn't worked for me since 8.04
[19:23] <jonathonf> BUGabundo: where did you get a g2 from for €225? :O
[19:23] <BUGabundo> tmn.pt
[19:24] <BUGabundo> special ONE day only
[19:24] <BUGabundo> 50% off

[19:24] <jonathonf> oh
[19:24] <raindog_mini> Latest updates for Kubuntu hosed my ability to login.
[19:24] <aboSamoor> BUGabundo, I can not understand, on Amazon it is for 800 $ ?!
[19:25] <raindog_mini> Can't get a terminal to try and fix it.
[19:26] <EagleScreen> raindog_mini: boot kubuntu in recovery mode
[19:26] <EagleScreen> then try to fix the system
[19:26] <raindog_mini> EagleScreen: Ah, yes.  I"m so stupid sometimes.  Thanks.
[19:30] <raindog_mini> Trying to run apt-get update, I receive the following.  Failed to open connection to "system" messwge bus:  Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket:  No such file or directory.  (and more)
[19:31] <jonathonf> $ sudo /etc/initid/dbus start
[19:31] <jonathonf> ?
[19:31] <jonathonf> $ sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start
[19:31] <jonathonf> even
[19:32] <Sarvatt> just sounds like the packagekit hooks into apt failing, nothing to be worried about..?
[19:32] <jonathonf> though as you're in recovery mode you dont need sudo
[19:32] <raindog_mini> Yeah, the error goes on to talk about apt hooks and Packagekit.
[19:32] <raindog_mini> I'll try as you suggest.  THanks for the suggestion.
[19:33] <Sarvatt> should be safe to ignore it, does it not complete?
[19:34] <raindog_mini> apt-get update worked after starting dbus.  Thanks jonathonf
[19:34] <Sarvatt> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20packagekit -- APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success { "/usr/bin/dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.PackageKit --type=method_call /org/freedesktop/PackageKit org.freedesktop.PackageKit.StateHasChanged string:'cache-update'"; };
[19:34] <raindog_mini> Sarvatt: That was it.
[19:34] <Sarvatt> its just notifying packagekit that the cache was updated, but you dont care about that because you arent in a desktop environment
[19:35] <raindog_mini> The latest updates also apparently removed kubuntu-desktop.  Added it back now and rebooting.
[19:37] <DanaG> what the hell.... my screen just randomly blanked again!
[19:38] <raindog_mini> jonathonf: Sarvatt:  Thanks that did the trick.  I'm still learning, obviously.
[20:19] <loonyphoenix> Had a random screen flicker. The screen suddenly went black (even though I was moving the mouse around), but it lighted back up after I clicked my mouse. Anybody else have that?
[20:19] <loonyphoenix> *had
[20:19] <jonathonf> yeah
[20:19] <stormy2k> Hi 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 it
[20:19] <jonathonf> it's some power management bug or something
[20:20] <jonathonf> stormy2k: do a $ killall metacity
[20:20] <DanaG> My screen randomly blanks, too.
[20:20] <loonyphoenix> also, the cursor flickers constantly when it's dynamic (like the waiting cursor)
[20:20] <stormy2k> Thanks, that did the trick...
[20:20] <loonyphoenix> Does anybody have that?
[20:21] <loonyphoenix> also, the video flickers in full screen when controls appear/disappear... are all these issues reported?
[20:24] <Sarvatt> DanaG: http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/07/30/accidental-blanking-and-gnome-power-manager/
[20:25] <Sarvatt> do you have intel video loonyphoenix? if so the cursor flicker is a well known issue
[20:25] <DanaG> hmm, my issue wasn't failure to unblank... it unblanks just fine.
[20:25] <Sarvatt> yeah the problem is its reading the session idle wrong and calling a screen blank when its not really idle the first time it starts up
=== dr0ppy is now known as dr0pknutz
[20:26] <diverse_izzue> loonyphoenix, was that on battery?
[20:28] <Sarvatt> in 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 power
[20:28] <Sarvatt> if 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)
[20:29] <DanaG> Does the same thing also cause the "screen won't un-dim"?
[20:29] <loonyphoenix> Sarvatt: yeah, intel video, though not battery
[20:29] <Sarvatt> that i dont know about, depends on the hardware and how it handles dpms
[20:30] <loonyphoenix> and the fullscreen video flicker?
[20:30] <loonyphoenix> that's the same issue?
[20:31] <Sarvatt> thats a 2.6.31-rc3+ issue
[20:31] <Sarvatt> 2.6.31-2 should be fine if you install that
[20:31] <loonyphoenix> don't wanna)
[20:31] <Sarvatt> the fixes have taken awhile to make it up to linus
[20:31] <loonyphoenix> so there's a fix?
[20:31] <loonyphoenix> we're waiting for it to float downstream?
[20:32] <Sarvatt> waiting for it to float from the intel kernel branch to the main kernel branch then get released and made into a karmic kernel :D
[20:33] <Sarvatt> might actually be in linus' tree now, lessee
[20:34] <Sarvatt> nope still not there
[20:34] <loonyphoenix> pity)
[20:36] <loonyphoenix> (downstream to Linus... that's what I hear when I go to a dev distribution:) never actually imagined *Linus* could be considered downstrream...)
[20:37] <jonathonf> lol
[20:37] <loonyphoenix> yeah, he's like at the top)
[20:37] <loonyphoenix> the top of the mountain, so to speak)
[20:37] <Sarvatt> the fixes are in there waiting to be pulled still -- http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/anholt/drm-intel.git;a=shortlog;h=for-linus
[20:38] <Sarvatt> but i dont see any pull requests
[20:38] <loonyphoenix> I guess the fix is still being condensed into a cloud...
[20:55] <aboSamoor> ok, I got it kacpi_notify in KDE 4.3 replaced notify-osd ! this is why I can not get the ubuntu notification system anymore !
[20:56] <maxb> Is anyone else having their numeric keypad fail to work in Karmic ?
[20:58] <aboSamoor> maxb, laptop keyboard Fn keys are not working
[20:58] <BUGabundo> back
[20:58] <BUGabundo> darn pidgin
[20:58] <maxb> No, this is a standard desktop keyboard
[20:59] <jeremy_> hello
[21:03] <jeremy_> exit
[21:03] <jeremy_> quit
[21:04] <jonathonf> you need a / in front of those commands
[21:04] <loonyphoenix> too late)
[21:04] <loonyphoenix> i think he figured that out
[21:04] <jonathonf> lol
[21:04] <jonathonf> i turned off join/part messages
[21:04] <jonathonf> probably not useful in this case :D
[21:05] <loonyphoenix> Pidgin has a cool feature: a plugin that hides join/leave messages IF the user was inactive for 10 minutes or more
[21:05] <loonyphoenix> That's the best IRC plugin I've ever encountered
[21:05] <loonyphoenix> Cudos to the creator
[21:06] <jonathonf> nice
[21:06] <loonyphoenix> BTW, I think Empathy is still not ready to replace Pidgin in Ubuntu
[21:07] <loonyphoenix> I tried it out and, well...
[21:07] <jonathonf> not by a long shot
[21:07] <loonyphoenix> Ah well
[21:07] <loonyphoenix> One more package to install upon system update
[21:07] <loonyphoenix> Big deal
[21:07] <loonyphoenix> Dozens of them anyway

[21:18] <jonathonf> could be interesting
[21:19] <uffo> please integrate folder sharing in kubuntu 9.10 by default that is usable with share oprion.
[21:19] <loonyphoenix> dr3mro: can't see any tearing, but it wasn't an exhaustive test :)
[21:19] <loonyphoenix> is there an actual test?
[21:20] <dr3mro> loonyphoenix, thank you now i donwload it and wait the pain to complete the donwload

[21:33] <hggdh> uffo, this channel is not the best place to ask that... consider opening a bug on launchpad instead
=== Le-Chuck_ITA1 is now known as Le-Chuck_ITA
[21:37] <uffo> hggdh: it is not bug, but Ubuntu always comes without file sharing but it is must have that file sharing works out of box like Windows and Mac.
[21:37] <hggdh> uffo: it *is* a bug. It will be looked at as a wishlist, but nevertheless a bug
[21:38] <hggdh> until a bug is opened for that, we cannot expect any changes

[22:02] <Varox> BUGabundo: the same error?
[22:02] <BUGabundo> what error?
[22:02] <BUGabundo> I use gnome mostly
[22:02] <Varox> BUGabundo: sorry :) hold on
[22:02] <BUGabundo> and some kde apps
[22:02] <Varox> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1232503
[22:02] <Varox> me too, but just because kde 4.2 was very buggy
[22:04] <Varox> BUGabundo:
[22:04] <BUGabundo> checking
[22:04] <Varox> BUGabundo: thanks
[22:04] <BUGabundo> bad depencies
[22:05] <BUGabundo> did you force the upgrade
[22:05] <BUGabundo> ?
[22:05] <BUGabundo> or did a parcial?
[22:05] <Varox> hm, i added the lines for the new repository and tried to update
[22:06] <Varox> but i am not really sure what you mean
[22:06] <Varox> i followed those instructions: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.3
[22:09] <BUGabundo> you added lines???
[22:09] <BUGabundo> ooppssss
[22:10] <Varox> BUGabundo: well, this one: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu jaunty main
[22:11] <BUGabundo> ok

[22:17]  * BUGabundo goes back to play with Android
[22:17] <BUGabundo> hggdh: he has kde 4.3
[22:17] <Varox> hggdh: the users of #ubuntu told me to ask here :-/
[22:17] <BUGabundo> aka what karmic kubuntu runs on
[22:18] <BUGabundo> Varox: better try #kubuntu-devel
[22:18] <Varox> but this link says it should work with 9.04 as well: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.3
[22:18] <Varox> BUGabundo: i will, thanks
[22:18] <hggdh> yes, off the PPA. it seems not all dependencies are there yet
[22:18]  * BUGabundo opens gimp to hack some Ubuntu wallpaper for Android
[22:19] <hggdh> so you cannot do a blanket dist-upgrade, but either wait for all dependencies to be published, or cherry-pick
[22:19] <hggdh> Varox, ^^
[22:20] <Varox> i like cherry-picking :)
[22:20] <hggdh> it will be a lot of work, but at least you will get *most* of 4.3
[22:21] <hggdh> now
[22:36] <DanaG> ugh... wtf... pulseaudio UDEV thingy breaks bluetooth audio!
[22:36] <DanaG> damnit.

[23:23] <DanaG> har.
[23:28] <BUGabundo> Sarvatt: its paid :(
[23:29] <Sarvatt> whats wrong with your pavucontrol? and why arent you using a stable release if these little things bug you so much? :D
[23:30] <DanaG> It needed to be upgraded.
[23:30] <DanaG> And the upgrade came out... just 1 hour ago.
[23:30] <DanaG> So the mirror had to sync.
[23:31] <DanaG> Guess I got the backend (pulseaudio server) update before the frontend (pavucontrol) update.
[23:37] <yofel> evening folks

[23:38] <yofel> hi BUGabundo
[23:38] <joebob777as7> what's the best way to install kde 4.3.0 in karmic?
[23:38] <yofel> joebob777as7: just install kde4 like normal, it was updated to 4.3.0 yesterday
[23:39] <bcurtiswx> hey, anyone here use Gwibber?
[23:39] <joebob777as7> yofel, cool!
[23:41] <joebob777as7> yofel, what's the package?
[23:42] <yofel> joebob777as7: you're running ubuntu? Then you could install 'kubuntu-desktop'
[23:42] <joebob777as7> ok yes thx
[23:43] <joebob777as7> yofel, not kubuntu-kde4-desktop? what's the difference?
[23:43] <yofel> joebob777as7: there is no kde3 in ubuntu anymore, so you don't need any kde4 ;)
[23:43] <syn-ack> brb

[23:45] <dtchen> DanaG: new pavucontrol is in the archive now
[23:46] <DanaG> yeah, I saw that when I googled for it there.  Thanks.
[23:46] <DanaG> I must've simply installed the new PA just before that.
[23:46] <dtchen> no, as in it's actually installable from pool now
[23:47] <dtchen> it was depwaited on the new libpulse-dev
[23:47] <DanaG> Yeah, once I found that link, I also did find it in the pool.
[23:47] <DanaG> Oh yeah, now my FreePulse headphones show up with the "unknown" (black box thingy) icon.
[23:52] <bjsnider> dtchen, are there any plans to add alsa hardware control to the current volume control applet?
[23:52] <dtchen> bjsnider: not that i'm aware, but i'm working at a lower level mostly (not in the gui)
[23:53] <bcurtiswx> anyone here use gwibber?
[23:53] <aboSamoor> I discovered the following: If you install KDE 4.3 it will overwrite the default display manager setting to KDM. Login to gnome using kdm will fail notify-osd from running and the notification daemon will fail to the one used in 8.10. [Sorry if this seems annoying, because I made a buzz about notify-osd and KDE, but I wanted to share to know your opinion if this seems ok or not ?]
[23:57] <DanaG> hmm, I have a USB sound card that has stereo mic in and stereo line in.  How do you propose switching between those, with the Gnome thingy?
[23:57] <DanaG> As it is, I use alsamixer or gamix.
[23:58] <th1> so, the usplash bug finally got fixed :)
