DanaGSo, I see the whole screen flicker, because it redraws continuously... at about 1 or 2 FPS.00:00
lifeofguenterhmm that does not sound good00:00
DanaGyeah, I went back to non-gfxboot.00:01
EagleScreenhello00:33
EagleScreenplease anyone with karmic and /home in ext4 partition can help me?00:33
EagleScreenI need the /etc/fstab line for /home in ext400:34
EagleScreenanyone can paste it for me, please?00:34
DanaGUUID=02ba95db-853e-49df-b90e-294c806cac54 /homeext4relatime 0       200:35
DanaGI'm not sure on the options, though -- I've changed mine.00:35
DanaGI think the default may be relatime,errors=remount-ro00:35
DanaGBut the "0    2" is correct -- makes it check it after root.00:35
rippsIsn't everybody's UUID unique?00:35
DanaGyeah, to get your uuid, 'sudo blkid '00:36
EagleScreeni am interested in options and in <dump> <pass> integers00:36
EagleScreendo you think this is right?00:38

Spee_derIs there a way with the Karmic kernel 2.6.31.-5 #24 in the command line to tell it to NOT look for the battery state please ?? This is where it is locking up on boot.....00:41

billybigriggeranyone having problems with flash and chromium?03:00
crashsystemsbillybigrigger: not much, no. it is not perfect, but not much worse than flash in firefox03:01

Mactabilisanyone running UNR on a Samsung NC10 ?03:04
billybigriggermase_work, +1 chat is here only03:05
kurisutoQuestion:  I want to install version 5.8 of Catalyst (a Perl-based web development framework).  I've got Ubuntu 9.04 installed.  Ubuntu 9.04 has Catalyst 5.7 (an old version).  I see that Karmic has Catalyst 5.8.  Is there some way I can take advantage of that Catalyst 5.8 package from Karmic to install Catalyst 5.8 in my Ubuntu 9.04 installation?  Or is that definitely impossible?03:05
Mactabilisnoone testing the unr koala on a nc10 ? :(03:06
billybigriggeryou can't run karmic packages in jaunty03:06
crashsystemskurisuto: I think that would depend upon what Catalyst in Karmic was dependent upon, and the version numbers03:06
DanaGugh, naming collision with ATI drivers.  =รพ03:07
kurisutoIs it an unwise thing to try to do, in general?03:08
crashsystemsI think the worst thing that would happen is that you'd have a broken package to uninstall03:08
kurisutoAny pointer as to how I'd go about trying it?03:09
crashsystemsdownload the package and see if it will install03:09
Mactabilisanyone using karmic UNR at all ? :)03:10
billybigriggeranyone here use gnome-shell?03:12
danbhfive1Mactabilis: Im testing the bootup time on a eee1000HE03:13
Mactabilisdanbhfive1 hows the netbook-launcher running for ya ? Mine crashed like every 5min. If I remove a favortie -> crash, if I select "Services" --> crash, and so on. Did you notice something alike ?03:14
danbhfive1Mactabilis: actually, I've been avoiding using it, since my fan didn't seem to be spinning up03:15
Mactabilismh, I see. Anyone else who tried karmic UNR ?03:16
mase_workMactabilis:  what is UNR ?03:22
x1250billybigrigger, 'you can't' is too much, and probably false. You can, but it may not work.03:23

DanaGntfs-3g is giving me a mere 500 kilobytes per second on a (same-drive) copy.  That's utterly pathetic.03:53
DanaG... especially considering my 5-megabit-down internet connection... is 640 kilobytes.03:58
DanaGNTFS-3G is actually slower than my internet connection!03:59
SodaPhishgreetings all04:00
billybigriggerDanaG, USB?04:15
DanaGNope, SATA.04:15
billybigriggeri've found USB transfers deadly slow lately04:15
DanaGhmm, I've just had issues with ntfs-3g, always.04:16
DanaGIt's always been dog-slow.04:16
DanaGWhen SATA is slower than internet... yeah, that's bad.04:16
DanaGAnd it bogs down the rest of the system, too... as if it were an old, old old system.04:16
DanaGoh, I forgot I had set the thing to do a backup at 6 sharp.04:23

SeverianHowdy.  I am setting up a physical machine to use for testing of Karmic.  The installer won't work if I create a root jfs filesystem.  Is only jfs broken at present?06:56
SeverianI am using the apha-4 alternate installer, if that makes a difference.06:57
nhasianwhere can i go to edit the sounds for system events in karmic?07:12
Severiannhasian, Sound preferences don't have many options in karmic.07:22
Severiannhasian, I can help you a little with sounds, but I don't know the proper way to change them.  I just know how to hack it.07:24
ghindoDoes anybody else have trouble rendering certain websites with the new Firefox?07:47
nhasianSeverian, haha i thought they had moved the options somewhere.  you mean editing the sound events in the gui are missing completely?  thats just funny.08:17
nhasianSeverian, I was hoping to add the sound events to empathy as it appears they are missing altogether.08:17
AnAntHello, does alternate installer support WPA connections ?08:18
Severiannhasian, You can't change the events at the moment.  I assume some other dialog will appear later.08:18
nhasianSeverian, I'll keep my fingers crossed.08:18
nhasianSeverian, thanks for your help i'm heading off to bed08:19
Severianbye, nhandler08:19
AnAntHello, what's a good method to copy package selections from one machine to another ?08:47
SeverianAnAnt, In Synaptic, go to File/Generate Package Download Script   on the first machine.  Run that script on the second machine.08:48
AnAntany other way ?08:58

spowhen does alpha 5 or beta 1 come out?09:05
mac_vsheesh!09:05
Ngspo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule09:06
mac_vspo: what is it you are really looking for?09:06
mac_vanyone tried gnome-shell? i simply cant get it to run! :(09:07
NgAnAnt: on one machine, do "dpkg --get-selections >packages.txt", then on the other machine you can do "dpkg --get-selections <packages.txt" and you'll get exactly the same package set, which may include removals, so you might want to grep out just the install ones from the list09:07
Ngbah09:07
NgAnAnt: sorry, the second command should have --set-selections, not --get-selections09:08
spowhen did alpha 4 come out?09:09
spomac_v, i want better usb power management09:09
spoie to shut down usb hard drives configuration09:09
sposo i don't have to pay for more elecriticity09:10
mac_vspo: so what does it have to do with the alpa release cycle?09:10
mac_vs/cycle/schedule?09:10
spomac_v, why do you ask so many questions?09:11
spomac_v, are you trying to intimidate me?09:12
mac_vspo: when you are asking for something alpha4 , then alpha 5, it really seems a weird... just asking what you want would get you better answers09:13
AnAntNg: thanks09:13
spomac_v, how come you are all up in my face and besides me?09:14
AnAntspo: I think he asked a reasonable question09:15
robin0800lapic command is not reconized anymore the log file tells me to enable it09:16
Ngspo: alpha 4 came out on the date shown in the wiki.ubuntu.com URL I just told you about :)09:16
spois it possible to turn off a usb hard drive through an OS like ubuntu or windows?09:18
mac_vNg: are you one of the ops? could you add the release schedule url to the bots09:19
Ngmac_v: I'm not09:19
Severianspo, try the normal hdparm command for spinning down drives and see how it does.09:19
AnAntNg: what if some packages don't exist , will that cause an error ?09:19
AnAntNg: should I run apt-get after --set-selections ?09:20
sposeverian, thank you, You have beent he most helpful person in this channel to me , ever09:20
NgAnAnt: probably "apt-get install" would apply the selections. non-existent packages should be ignored09:20
AnAntNg: thanks09:21
AnAntHello, in alpha3 PC beep was working on my laptop, yet in alpha4 it doesn't, is this a kernel or pulseaudio issue ?09:21
spoanant, alpha 4 has been released. I helped release it too.09:21
SeverianThe ubuntu channel seems more helpful, in general.  Sorry for your experience.  I have not had much luck here, but I did get one good answer.  I just try to be patient.09:21
sposeverian, i was just kidding/teasing the other people in here,  about what i said to you about you being the most helpful person to me , ever in this channel09:22
Severianspo, that last one was for you.  The other thing I have noticed is that the testing for the next released version has been more problematic this cycle.  But, that is why I test, to try to find a few bugs.09:23
Severianspo, then nevermind.09:23
AnAntNg: hmm, apt-get install didn't apply selections09:24
AnAntnor -f install , nor dist-upgrade09:24
NgAnAnt: hrm. it's a while since I've done that, I suggest a quick google :)09:25
AnAntNg: dselect-upgrade ! according to dpkg man page09:26
Ngah yeah09:26

shadeslayersuit: gnome seriously needs to do a 3.011:25
suitshadeslayer: Then I recommend you don't install one of the drivers recommended by the inbuilt hardware menu thingie11:25

shadeslayerjonick: its supposed to get better12:35
jonickhmm, wonder whether to install to try it, it's ext4 in karmic yeah ?12:36
shadeslayerjonick: yep12:37
shadeslayerjonick: ext 4 is also available in jaunty12:38
jonickhmm, had problems trying to install fedora on this bx using ext4, the partitioning went squiffy...... I didn't realise that jaunty was using ext4....12:38
TheInfinityper default it used ext312:39
shadeslayerjonick: its not deafult,you will have to manually partition12:39
TheInfinity(and i always would recomment ext3 until now ;) )12:40
jonickAh... Thats what I thought. I'm sure mine ext3, so that means no upgrade path from jaunty to karmic?12:41
shadeslayerjonick: you can convert it to ext412:41

BluesKajgonna install jaunty on my laptop then wait for the karmic officail release . The hardware probs with intel etc should be solved by then I hope13:16
shadeslayerBluesKaj: so youre downgrading ?? okies13:16
BluesKajnope, I'm on our desktop atm , but our laptop is gonna become a dual boot machine as well13:17
BluesKajmy desktop actually ...wife has her own desktop13:17

shadeslayerrichardcavell: haha....nice13:23
AnAntrichardcavell: fix pulseaudio ?13:23
richardcavellAnAnt: I can't fix it13:24
richardcavellIt seems that when I run Steam/wine at startup, it hogs the sound system somehow13:24
AnAntrichardcavell: I see13:25
richardcavellAnd if I then quite Steam/wine, I get sound back but it's tinny and garbled13:25
richardcavellIt's an exercise just to show me how much I miss sound.  You don't appreciate how much you enjoyed something until it's gone.13:25
shadeslayerany idea when theyll be introducing a new network manager widget?13:27
BluesKajnever, I hope , until they fix it13:28
shadeslayerBluesKaj: yeah...13:28

shadeslayercuz i think dolphin just broke15:20
kaddiHi, I was here yesterday with a broken karmic upgrade, basically I got no image when I booted into kernel *.31, while everything was fine with kernel *.28. Some people tried to help and I wanted to let them know, that I found a workaround. When I boot the kernel with the option "nomodeset" it runs fine.15:20
shadeslayerkaddi: KDE user?15:21
kaddiyes15:21
shadeslayerkaddi: can you run dolphin with the latest updates?15:21
kaddishadeslayer, define latest updates. I upgraded yesterday, but am not on a nightly build or anything.15:22
kaddidolphin runs fine, I have version 4:4.3.0-0ubuntu315:22
shadeslayerkaddi: lets see....there was a kernel update today and some workspace updates15:22
kaddiok, probably haven't gotten those then15:22
christian_lappyhey guys15:22
shadeslayerkaddi: i can run dolphin with kdesudo but not as a normal user15:23
christian_lappyi tried to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.10 alpha 4...15:23
christian_lappybut i got the jaunty upgrade15:23
shadeslayerchristian_lappy: yes....15:23
christian_lappyshadeslayer: ahhh..15:23
shadeslayerchristian_lappy: you can upgrade only via 9.0415:23
christian_lappyshadeslayer: ah, thanks for the info15:24
shadeslayerchristian_lappy: no problemo15:24
christian_lappyshadeslayer: can i upgrade directly to 9.10 then without rebooting ?15:24
shadeslayerchristian_lappy: yeah sure15:24
christian_lappyshadeslayer: nice :-)15:24
kaddishadeslayer, it's proposing updates for bluetooth, I'm installing them now, but a priori nothing related to dolphin. I'll let you know though15:25
shadeslayerkaddi: sure,i had that update too :)15:25
christian_lappyhope my system does not get completely borked ;-)15:25
kaddiit's more fun when it does ;)15:25
christian_lappykaddi:, lol15:25
shadeslayerhaha15:25
christian_lappyso, is alpha 4 already somehow usable ?15:26
shadeslayerchristian_lappy: quite stable imho15:26
christian_lappynice15:26
kaddishadeslayer, anything special to make dolphin crash? I just started it, clicked a couple of folders, everything seems fine15:26
shadeslayerchristian_lappy: i updated today15:26
shadeslayerkaddi: it times out....15:26
christian_lappyahhhh...15:26
shadeslayerkaddi: http://pastebin.ca/153257415:27
christian_lappyis there any way to upgrade from 9.04 32bit to 9.10 64bit ????????15:27
shadeslayerkaddi: it opened15:27
shadeslayer:o15:27
shadeslayerchristian_lappy: complete reinstall15:27
christian_lappy:-(15:27
shadeslayerkaddi: but but...its completely black :P15:28
shadeslayeroh there they are15:28
kaddiwho's completely black? :p15:28
shadeslayerkaddi: dolphin15:28
kaddiah, dolphin15:28
christian_lappymy lappy is still upgrading to 9.04 ....15:28
shadeslayerits very slow15:28
kaddisry, kinda slow sometimes.15:28
kaddinope, can't reproduce that, sry. It's working as it should on my end15:29
shadeslayerhmm15:29
christian_lappybrw, can i use the netbook edition on non-atom cpus ?15:29
kaddichristian_lappy, I know how you're feeling, I did an upgrade marathon over the week-end... it was incredibly slow.. and it got slower the closer I got to karmic ;)15:30
christian_lappymy lappy is kinda out-dated15:31
christian_lappytherefor replacing packages takes time15:31
shadeslayerkaddi: is it possible to set the tty resolution15:31
kaddimine too ;) and I must say karmic absolutely rocks to this aspect.. its using <200Mb of RAM and does nicely with my intel centrino processor :)15:32
christian_lappykaddi: wow, thats great15:32
christian_lappyhope kubuntu is equal15:33
kaddithis is kubuntu ;)15:33
christian_lappy:-)15:33
kaddishadeslayer, I would think so, but no clue how to do that :p15:33
christian_lappymine is a pentium415:33
shadeslayerkaddi: it can be done by editing the grub menu.lst.....but with grub 2 i have no idea15:34
LeftmostA few applications are showing Turkish as an available language on my system. I do not have the Turkish locale installed. Why is this?15:36
shadeslayerkaddi: so everything working fine after the upgrade ?15:37
kaddishadeslayer, did you upgrade or install ?15:37
kaddibecause I seem to still have the old grub115:37
shadeslayerkaddi: i did a clean install,and then updated the system15:37
shadeslayerclean install of Karmic15:37
kaddi:)15:38
shadeslayerkaddi: its recommended that every alpha be a clean install right?15:38
kaddishadeslayer, this is the first time I ever use an alpha, so I wouldn't know ;)15:38
kaddiI did an upgrade from jaunty15:38
shadeslayerkaddi: me too :)15:38
christian_lappyoh man, still upgrading15:38
shadeslayerchristian_lappy: get a ISO and do a clean install15:39
christian_lappyshadeslayer: whyyyy ?15:39
AnAntshadeslayer: hello15:39
shadeslayerkaddi: ill do a reboot in 20min after kubuntu-restricted-extras is done15:39
kaddiand set aside the kernel-issue mentioned earlier, I think my wireless stick is no longer recognized.. but I havne't looked into it15:39
kaddiso it might be easily resolvable15:39
christian_lappykernel issue ?15:40
shadeslayerAnAnt: oh hey,the beep worked once here....dont know how though 0.o15:40
AnAntshadeslayer: huh ?15:40
AnAntshadeslayer: any hint ?15:40
AnAntshadeslayer: what were you trying ?15:40
shadeslayerAnAnt: i compiled some nvidia drivers and then during the reboot there was this beep sound from the pcspkr15:40
kaddichristian_lappy, I wasn't getting any visual output after the upgrade with the new kernel, but found out, that disabling ksm enabled me to use the new kernel15:40
AnAntshadeslayer: are you sure it wasn't beep from the BIOS ?15:40
ikoniayou dont compile nvidia drivers - they are closed source15:40
shadeslayerAnAnt: i.e after the compile and before the shutdown15:41
shadeslayerAnAnt: yep15:41
AnAntshadeslayer: well, tried another reboot ?15:41
christian_lappyikonia: you compile the kernel module !15:41
shadeslayerAnAnt: nope...15:41
AnAntshadeslayer: anyways, I still think you need to set the bug status to confirmed15:42
ikoniachristian_lappy: the libC interface is built, the actual module is closed15:42
shadeslayerAnAnt: im currently having issues with dolphin,ill just reboot in about 20 mins :)15:43

kaddianyone has any experience with a dwl-g122 usb-stick from d-link and karmic? I know it was plug and play under gutsy, but is no longer recognized in karmic15:45
bjsniderit probably is recognized15:46
shadeslayerkaddi: wth, i typed dolphin in krunner a min ago and it opened up now15:46
kaddilol15:46
bjsniderthere could be a problem loading the driver15:46
bjsniderhal is being replaced with devicekit, so not everything is smooth on the hardware front right now15:46
christian_lappyfingers crossed for my wlan card15:47
AnAntshadeslayer: but the beep didn't work again, did it ?15:47
bjsnideryou could modprobe the driver yourself if you know what it is15:47
shadeslayerAnAnt: nopt15:47
shadeslayer*nope15:47
AnAntok15:47
kaddibjsnider, I don't realy. :/15:48
bjsnidertry looking it up15:48
bjsniderit might be ath5k, but i'm not sure if that driver was supposed to run usb sticks or not15:49
kaddibjsnider, lsmod shows a rt73usb which looks a lot like a ralink driver to me, that's probably it, no?15:52
bjsnideri dunno. google it15:53
kaddiit is15:54
kaddiso the problem is probably somewhere else, as wicd is still showing "no networks available" and  ifconfig isn't showing the card15:54
shadeslayerthats bad :P15:55
christian_lappykaddi: maybe some missing proprietary fw missing ?15:55
kaddishadeslayer, I know, especially as I've never had serious trouble with wifi and don't have a clue about it :p15:55
kaddishould be fun :D15:56
shadeslayerkaddi: btw does your microblog widget work?15:56
bjsniderkaddi, modprobe the driver from the console15:57
kaddii can add it and it displays on the screen.. :D what does it do?15:57
shadeslayerkaddi: lol,you can update twitter and identi.ca15:57
shadeslayerkaddi: my configure button wont go away...15:57
kaddibjsnider, modprobe -l returns kernel/drfivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt73usb.ko15:58
kaddishadeslayer, maybe it'll disappear once you twitter something?15:58
shadeslayerkaddi: nope15:59
kaddito bad :p15:59
shadeslayerkaddi: it didnt even show the update15:59

bjsniderit means the driver is now loaded16:00

BluesKajkaddi in some cases the sound is looping back to reconvert fro digital to analog and back again , strange happenings ...everyone curses pulseaudio but it runs under alsa very well if it's setup to.16:26
kaddiBluesKaj, I was actually refering to the speakers of my laptop and not to anything weird happening to the sound... it's a 6year old notebook, which had bad speakers to begin with.. so you can probably imagine ;)16:27
BluesKajlaptop spkrs are crappy no matter how new :P16:27

stephankHello! I have a laptop that uses snd-hda-intel, and I think ICH8 chipset. One of the things with this thing is that 100% volume results in crackling sound. However, I can't figure out, how to set the volume to the 'sane' maximum, which is actually around 74%? Instead of using sliders to find a hidden sweet spot, now I'm turning to alsamixer all the time.18:30
mac_vstephank: are you running karmic/jaunty?18:42
stephankmac_v: karmic18:43
BluesKajstephank, no kmix vol ctrl in the panel?18:43
stephankBluesKaj: gnome-volume-control-applet is there18:43

BluesKajspkr18:44
stephankmac_v: okeedo18:44
BluesKajthe vol ctrl doesn't work ?18:45
BluesKajstephank, that vol ctrl mis the same one alsa uses for it;s main input18:46
BluesKajmis=is18:47
stephankBluesKaj: well, the issue is that I can't set my volume to the maximum, because I get crackling sound when I do that18:47
stephankit used to not be a problem when it only adjusted the master volume, but now it also adjusts the pcm volume.18:47
BluesKajstephank, you arent supposed to set it to max , 70% should be enough , otherwise you're distorting the sound18:48
stephankBluesKaj: I guess the reason I do that is because I have external speakers, with an external volume control.18:50
BluesKajno matter , you clip the output amp if you increase it too much18:52
KamilionI've got a newer system with a LSI SAS2008 adapter supported by the mpt2sas.ko module. It exists in linux-image-2.6.31-5-server, but not in linux-image-2.6.31-5-generic which the Alpha 4 Server cd boots with. I've copied the module onto a USB stick, and insert it when the installer tells me to, but it never seems to find the .ko file. What directory am I supposed to place it in?19:38

nztalhas alpha 4 improved a good deal better than alpha 3, there were some issues on alpha 3 that i caught with the proposed repository open, that weren't that great, network-manager-gnome was broken.  luckily i had a wicd deb locally on my hard drive to get functioning19:54

nztalgot it.  i can actually put karmic on my laptop, as it is forced to use wicd.  i can't see to use the native network-manager-gnome and not have dns issues at starbucks.  i've not heard of a fix other than use something else19:59
BUGabundoseveral of us, run them so we can ensure a certain feature, app, hw works on final release19:59
BUGabundonztal: how about using opendns.com ?19:59
nztali realize that.  i've usually adopted at the alpha3 stage the past few releases.  i dont believe opendns would be fixing that issue.  its a somewhat rather odd way of logging in, its unencypted, and i authenicate with home dsl credentials.  when i've looked at /etc/resolv.conf, it doesn't look too ordinary20:00
nztalthrough the web that is20:00
BUGabundoahhh20:00
BUGabundoits a web catchall gateway to generate a token20:01
nztaloh i see ok20:03
nztalyes, that hasn't worked out with the native network manager too well and i didn't see any solutions using google.20:03
BUGabundothere aint nothing in NM to make that hard20:05
nztali've considered a very inexpensive "tethering" type option for my laptop, though i'm unsure of any providers that would allow that without a contract, using a 3g adaptor, and with preferable on a pay as you go basis.  i know that support is actually built into network-manager-gnome its just a matter of getting the settings right.  dont think i could afford an actual contact/subscription.20:05
BUGabundoyou should get a connection to the open AP20:05
BUGabundoand then autenticate via web20:05
nztalyes.  i am able to connect to the local ap, i had issues though, where i couldn't get anywhere else, past logging in.  thats when coming to starbucks, after logging in at home, on the same laptop.  i've tried all sorts of troubleshooting including opendns.  its just a funny authentication that way20:06

norpan111Pici,  nothing, it was a different questin ;D20:44
norpan111ikonia,  why human-theme does not affect anything but apps.. when right-click, the menu is wrong20:44
ikonianorpan111: it's a theme - it's only going to effect the look, I actually thought the 9.10 theme had not been released yet20:45
Picinorpan111: If you feel that it is not working properly like it did in a previous version of Ubuntu then you should log a bug.20:45
norpan111it looks like "simple" controlls20:45

kaddihow do you test which alpha release is running on your system?20:49
kaddii just upgraded yesterday, I'm wondering if I'm running alpha 3 or 4 now20:49
nztali tend to get the daily builds, if i need it on media.  this laptop is going back to karmic at this point, it doesn't require gnome's network-manager20:49
ikonianot sure if lsb_release shows it20:49
ikoniacan normally work it out from the kernel20:50
ikoniakaddi: if you upgraded/keep it up to date, you'll be running 520:50
ikonia420:50
kaddilsb_release doesn't it says "developpment branch" but not which alpha20:50
nztali think i heard there wouldn't be a LTS release until one or two releases after karmic20:50
kaddiikonia ok, it's what I figured. I just thought that by "I haven't got it yet" you meant, that it hadn't reached the reps yet20:50
ikoniakaddi: not sure about the repos, cd seems out20:51
ikonianztal: 9.10 isn't lts20:51

BUGabundostop spreadig MissInformation21:36
BUGabundobjsnider: we already discussed this21:37
BUGabundoit waint21:37

mac_vBUGabundo: why no need for separate /home?21:37
BUGabundomac_v: its been like this since hardy21:38
KamilionPersonally, I put my /home on a seperate partition, but *I* use LVM and need to extend the volume occasionally as my users increase their usage. A *DESKTOP* machine is perfectly fine with /home on the / partition.21:38
BUGabundofrom that point on the installer is capable of removing old system files, and put a new system21:38
BUGabundowithout thouching user space files21:38
bjsnideri don't trust it21:38
hggdhfolks, calm there. There is no need to, but it does not mean it cannot be done21:38
mac_vi find have a separate *the most* useful feature , helps reinstalling without loosing info or settings21:38
KamilionBUGabundo: I am wary, once I made a simple mistake and told it to format the wrong partition in the installer.21:38
bjsniderand i want the system files located separately at the start of the drive so they're accessed faster21:39
BUGabundoKamilion: grub2 supports now full disk LVM without need for /boot on ext221:39

KamilionOoh, does it?21:39
KamilionCrap, I *JUST* installed 9.10 with a 256MB /boot outside of the LVM :/21:39

BUGabundothat's buggy as help AFAIN21:40
bjsnideri wouldn't do that. too slow21:40
StR|Sangrealhave a nice time up there :)21:40
KamilionI don't make the NASA rules, I just follow them. :P21:40
KamilionTechnically I'm not even supposed to be running beta operating systems, but I'm forced to run karmic because jaunty doesn't support my SAS2008 6gbit controller.21:41
bjsnideryou could use jaunty with a karmic kernel21:42
bjsnideror a kernel from a ppa21:42
Kamilionor roll my own21:42
bjsnidernah21:42
bjsnidertoo much time21:42
Kamilionbut nobody will tell me how to load a .ko from a usb stick in debian-installer21:42
Kamilionprobably likely that the bus-factor is high for that procedure21:43
KamilionCause the Alpha 4 server install disc boots with the 2.6.31-5-generic kernel, and the mpt2sas.ko only exists on the 2.6.31-5-server kernel (But generic will load the module if I copy it to the right place and depmod -a)21:44
BUGabundobjsnider: you really like to bend the rules right21:44
BUGabundo?21:44
BUGabundo:%}21:45
bjsniderwhich rules are those?21:45
mac_vPici: no new theme for karmic , *maybe* the icon theme would be changed to Humanity , theme wise, kwwii working on a new one only for Karmic +1 or LTS21:46
hggdhKamilion, if the modules was not built with the kernel, there are good chances it will not work21:46
Kamiliongeneric and server are built from the same source, just with a different config. In my case, loading the -server module on -generic worked since the module has no other dependancies.21:47
hggdhah, OK. So what was your problem?21:48
KamilionI've got a newer system with a LSI SAS2008 adapter supported by the mpt2sas.ko module. It exists in linux-image-2.6.31-5-server, but not in linux-image-2.6.31-5-generic which the Alpha 4 Server cd boots with. I've copied the module onto a USB stick, and insert it when the installer tells me to, but it never seems to find the .ko file. What directory am I supposed to place it in?21:48
* Kamilion simplifies: Where does debian-installer load storage controller modules from when Detect Disks asks for modules and 'none of the above' is selected?21:49
bjsniderwhy does the server image boot with the generic kernel?21:49
DanaGhmm, can you nust manually 'cp' it and 'insmod' it?21:49
hggdhI would say the same one under the server21:49
Kamilionit tells me to insert a floppy or USB stick21:49
Kamilionbjsnider: I wish I knew. If it booted with the -server kernel, I'd have no problems :)21:50
hggdhKamilion, heh. And you have, I guess the module already in disk...21:50
bjsnideryou could replace the kernel on the iso and burn it with the server kernel i suppose21:50
mac_vBUGabundo: the installer has those settings? to not remove users old config? i never realized that !21:51
Kamilionyeah, pulled down the linux-image-2.6.31-5-server deb package from packages.ubuntu.com and yanked the file out and hucked it on my usb stick, copied it to /lib/modules/<ver>-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas.ko, ran a depmod -a, modprobed mpt2sas (sucessful) and installed to LVM.21:51
* hggdh stops booting the server VM21:53
kaddiwhat exactly is Xv? If someone says his graphic driver is unable to provide xv, does that mean he doesn't get a visual output?21:53
Kamilionbut the thing is, A: debian-installer tries to mount /dev/sdb, not /dev/sdb1, and B: I don't know what directory the file should be under to be found by debian-installer even if it did correctly mount the right partition on /media21:53
hggdhso all we are left with is open a bug asking for the module to be built with the -generic image21:53
Kamilionhggdh: Well, why is the server install cd starting up with the -generic kernel instead of the -server kernel?21:54
KamilionCan I boot with a -server kernel from the existing CD? (are both on there and I just missed it?)21:54
bjsnidercheck the manifest list21:54
hggdhKamilion, this is a question for the server maintainers21:54
KamilionI had already assumed I needed to file a bug, but I'm still figuring out which package to target the bug on, and attempting to write a reproduction case so I don't just get 'not enough info, bug closed'21:55

Kamilionsolve problem, file bug, submit patch.... :)21:56
hggdhyou should not get the bug closed this way, only get it as incomplete21:56
Kamilioneither way, I shouldn't waste the server-maintainer's time.21:56
hggdhlet me recoup a bit: you booted the server install, and it came with the desktop kernel?21:56
KamilionAye.21:57
hggdhthen -- to my humble view -- this is the bug21:57
hggdhI would expect the server install to boot the server imiage21:57
bjsniderwhere's the iso image you downloaded?21:57
KamilionAye. But which package to file the bug on? the -generic kernel or the -server kernel? Or ubiquity?21:57
Kamilionhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/alpha-4/karmic-server-amd64.iso21:57

vesayth1Hello folks, I have a couple issues with karmic on my laptop but I'm not sure just yet if I should drop a bug on them or whether or not they've been addressed (i haven't found anything on them)22:02
vesayth1I think the most important one for me is DNS doesn't seem to be resolving when I connect to my home server via OpenVPN22:03
vesayth1Server is running on Jaunty 64 bit, this laptop is running Karmic 32 bit22:03
Kamilionvesayth1: Do you have a proper push of the dns servers? Some openvpn packages don't by default.22:09
vesayth1Kamilion: yes, the problem doesn't seem to be on the server side22:10
vesayth1Kamilion: before upgrading to karmic, it worked fine. And I just checked to ensure that it still works on my windows partition and it does22:10
kaddiI think this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/395932 describes my bug, the workaround sure works for me. However I can't find what "my graphics driver is unable to provide xv"  means and so am not sure if I should post in that thread or create a new bug. Does it mean, there is no visual output?22:10
ubottuUbuntu bug 395932 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "[i855] No Xv support for 82852/855GM (KMS bug)" [Unknown,In progress]22:11
Kamilionalso, I had to add a entry to my openvpn config to push the local domain, otherwise I could only do FQDN lookups even if the DNS server IP was pushed22:11
vesayth1I've pushed the local domain as well as the opendns nameservers22:12
Kamilionahh, that's why. OpenDNS has no idea what your local domain's internal IPs are.22:13
Kamilionyou need to push your local DNS server and set that up to use opendns as an upstream DNS server to get local hostname resolution.22:13
vesayth1Ok, but that doesn't explain to me why it works in Jaunty and Windows22:13
vesayth1was there a change in Karmic that makes it resolve differently?22:14
KamilionNot sure. I'm in the middle of installing Karmic now myself.22:14
Kamilionor, trying to, if I didn't get distracted every time I'm waiting for the bios to prompt me to push F11 to boot from CD.22:15
vesayth1it happens22:15
Kamilion:)22:15
vesayth1i guess I'll go play with my config for the server, unfortunately i don't have physical access to it right now as I'm in Mississippi and it's in Florida >.>22:15
=== kaddi_ is now known as kaddi
vesayth1but i'll have to make due with ssh i suppose22:16
Kamilionserver bioses take too long to boot... hehe22:16
Kamilionvesayth1: just mentioning my own pain points with openvpn and dns.22:17
Kamilionwill yours do fqdn lookups currently?22:19
Kamilionoh, oh!22:19
vesayth1I'm not sure, I'll have to take a look22:19
KamilionYou said 'it works in jaunty and windows' -- does that mean you're using winbind to do local hostname resolution via samba?22:19
Kamilioncause that would 'bypass' the problem of opendns not knowing your internal ips, if your nsswitch.conf is consulting wins or mdns before full dns22:20
vesayth1yes i'm using winbind on my samba share22:20
Kamilionand with a fresh install of karmic, you wouldn't have samba or winbind installed off the bat22:21
vesayth1well, I didn't install Karmic on the server22:22
Kamilioni mean on the client. You still need samba/winbind to do wins resolution22:22
vesayth1and this wasn't really a fresh install on the client22:22
vesayth1I did the upgrade22:22
vesayth1but i'll double check to see if those are installed22:23
vesayth1hmm, winbind is but not samba22:23
Kamilionbjsnider: Hm, I can't seem to find any other bootable kernels on the A4 server cd, just the installable package22:25
bjsniderthat sucks22:25
Kamilionyup. Guess I'll file the bug then.22:25
bjsnidernot much choice at this point22:26
bjsnideris there a daily-live server iso?22:27
KamilionNot sure.22:27
bjsniderif so, maybe they can fix it quickly22:27
vesayth1ok that doesn't seem to help22:27
vesayth1installing samba22:27
vesayth1not sure if my last 2 messages went through22:27
vesayth1but installing samba didn't seem to work22:27
maxbIs there ever a "live" "server" iso? I don't think so22:27
Kamilionvesayth1: they went through. But that's too bad that it didn't work. I'll give it a shot myself in a bit once I get Karmic installed22:28
vesayth1maybe I should try a fresh install22:30
BluesKajmaxb, the servers are repositories of linux images and applications that can be installed by updating or upgrading depending on your desires22:30
vesayth1maybe that will get my wireless working as well22:30
Kamilionvesayth1: might your wireless require some firmware somehow? bc43xx or such?22:31
BluesKajoh server versions , maxb ..now i gotcha ..there are if you search22:31
vesayth1Kamilion: it's Atheros. There's a workaround for my problem, I have a script that runs modprobe -r -f ath5k and then modprobe ath5k22:32
vesayth1and that fixes it22:32
vesayth1But I don't want to run that script every time I boot22:32
vesayth1it's listed in bug 39556522:32
ubottuLaunchpad bug 395565 in linux "atheros wifi not working with kernel 2.6.31-1" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/39556522:32
BluesKajvesayth1, I run wicd with atheros , works well22:33
BluesKajon my laptop that is22:33
kaddivesayth1 das ath5k support usb sticks as well?22:33
vesayth1BluesKaj: I think we had this conversation yesterday, but I'm leery of doing that as I need to be able to use my OpenVPN as well22:33
vesayth1kaddi: I have no idea22:33
kaddiok, thanks anyway :)22:34
kaddiI have a ralink usb-stick that does get recognized by karmic (modprobe shows rt73usb running), but it is not listed in ifconfig and I can't see any wifi networks..22:35
Kamilionhttp://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/usb-gadgets/bd55/ <--- ralink like that?22:35
vesayth1kaddi: try lspci and see if it shows up that way22:35
bjsnidervesayth1, that bug was fixed22:35
vesayth1bjsnider: Yes I know but apparently not completely22:36
kaddiKamilion its a dwl-g122 and it's a LOT slower than what you linked22:36
Kamilionahh, the dlink22:36
vesayth1bjsnider: they were suggesting doing some things with rfkill, but those directories don't even exist on my laptop22:36
kaddiKamilion yeah sorry, I keep mixing them up22:36
BluesKajvesayth1, why are you worried , it's anetwork manager that acyaully easier to configuer than the kde one22:36
vesayth1BluesKaj: I guess I'll give it a try22:37
kaddivesayth1: it does not show up in lspci, but it does show up in lsusb22:37
morecowbelli just installed karmic (UNR) but the netbook desktop keeps crashing. how do i bring it back?22:38
vesayth1kaddi: sorry that's what I meant22:38
kaddivesayth1 :)  so what does that mean for me?22:38
kaddivesayth1 ok, all is fine, it just magically appeared in wicd o.o22:39
vesayth1kaddi: you said it's an atheros based card right?22:39
vesayth1kaddi: oh alright ^^22:39
Kamilionguess it just needed a prod, heh22:39
kaddihehe, I tried prodding it this afternoon and it wouldn22:40
kaddit do squad.. Now I haven't touched it for hours and it works :p22:40
vesayth1Ok, I just installed wicd, how do you configure vpn through this?22:41
morecowbellis there a channel for the netbook version of ubuntu?22:45
morecowbellthe netbook interface crashed (i just installed karmic) and i don't know how to bring it back without rebooting22:46
morecowbellnevermind...the command is netbook-launcher :D22:46
kaddilet's see what happens after a reboot :p22:47
vesayth1Yeah i'm not seeing a way to connect to openvpn with wicd22:58
vesayth1network-manager was much easier to work with in that regard22:58
jaysonsantosHello people, I was installing flashplayer-plugin-installer and then my pc reboot because I kicked my power cable. Now when I execute sudo dpkg --configure -a in my Karmic VM I'm receiving this message http://paste.ubuntu.com/254768/23:14

rleedsI don't remember this being a problem in jaunty, so I ask here, but it might be totally unrelated. Emacs GTK, when I have certain files open in different programming languages, adds a language-specific menu to the menubar, but it comes up as empty these days.23:26
rleedsI don't know when it started happening.23:26
rleedsAnyone else experiencing this?23:26
rleedsI thought it was just a problem with erlang-mode but I'm eding a c++ file today and get the same problem.23:26
rleedsAlso, I've been googling like hell for something similar, but find it nowhere, which is the only reason I even suspect ubuntu of being at fault at all, though I'm going to ask in #emacs as well.23:27
bjsniderrleeds, why don't you reporteth a buggeth on the packageth?23:29
rleedsbjsnider: because I want to verify that it's actually a problem in ubuntu first and not just something stupid I did.23:30
bjsniderjust wipe out the local config directory and you'll be certain of it23:30
rleedslet me try moving my emacs config away23:30
rleedsyeah23:30
rleedsexactly23:30
bjsnidermaybe ~/.emacs23:31
bjsnideror whatever23:31
rleeds.emacs.d, close enough23:31
bjsnidereven if you did this through your local config, i still think it's a bug. it blanked out this menu you want23:31
rleedsbjsnider: yeah. it's happening with default config too.23:32
bjsnider'tis a bug, it is23:32
rleedsI figured someone in here used emacs and could verify it quickly, though.23:33
BUGabundorleeds: we are happy enough to test just one OS at a time :)23:34
rleedslol, BUGabundo23:34
Kamilionblah. Debian-installer's LVM wizard is broken.23:35
Kamilionwell, not so much the wizard, but...23:36
Kamilionfor some reason it sees two identical western digital WD1001-FALS Black 1TBs as different sizes. But if I add a 8MB partition to the start, then they show up as identical. but as soon as I delete the dummy partition, lvm wigs out again.23:37
Kamilionheh, and saving the debug log ends up with a 4.5MB partman log, hahaha23:40
bjsniderare those 10k rpm drives?23:42
KamilionDon't think so, I think they're 7200 RPM, but they're supposed to have 32MB cache and some kind of a second arm processor on the controller board for 'higher performance'.23:43
robin0800_Kamilion: 8Mb is usally the default dummy partion when you install windows and use its partion editor23:43
KamilionI ended up just spawning a shell and using fdisk directly. Creating the lvm partitions manually and then using pvcreate and vgcreate, then went back to the installer to populate the vg.23:44
bjsnideri  thought the 1001 designation might signify 10k rpm23:45
Kamilionbjsnider: AFAIK, it's the size. Shows up as 1.001 TB23:46
KamilionYay! it's booting from the whole-disk LVM!23:46
suitSo, I just booted into a black screen with Kubuntu. Alt+F2 works and I can start programs from there and see them, too. Just no desktop, no taskbar, no widgets. Any ideas?23:48
rleedsbjsnider: in case you're curious, I submitted it as bug 41510123:55
