| bjsnider | binarymutant, you mean 9.8? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| binarymutant | bjsnider, yes | 00:00 |
| bjsnider | yep, only 2.6.29 | 00:01 |
| binarymutant | ah :.( | 00:01 |
| alteregoa | i had to use driveparm with those mfm drive, cause the bios didnt supported it | 00:01 |

| bjsnider | DanaG, how can you be using it? | 00:12 |
| DanaG | Just had to alter the call to find_task_by_vpid. | 00:13 |

| binarymutant | well now I'm confused | 00:15 |
| bjsnider | is that a beta or something? | 00:16 |
| DanaG | wait... | 00:17 |
| DanaG | the PPA has 9.7. | 00:17 |
| DanaG | 9.8 fixes compilation on 2.6.29 and 2.6.30, but not 2.6.31. | 00:18 |
| DanaG | That takes a separate patch. | 00:18 |
| bjsnider | which patch? | 00:18 |

| tux | my sound is borked | 00:24 |
| bjsnider | maybe the irq problem is in the bios | 00:24 |
| bjsnider | maybe if i change "plug and play aware OS" to "Yes", it will assign one IRQ to each device | 00:25 |
| alteregoa | i still ask myself why soundcard doesnt have a FIFO buffer | 00:53 |
| roscoe | do you know if there are any plans to build drivers for older nVidia cards for kernel.31? Is this even the right place to ask? | 01:10 |
| xim_ | ive lost all my sound in karmic, anyone know whats up with that? | 01:10 |
| xim_ | the only application that gets audio out my speakers is interestingly the npviewer flash player, but its garbled beyond recognition | 01:11 |
| xim_ | as in npviewer.bin the firefox thing | 01:13 |
| DanaG | unable to mount EXT3_External. | 01:23 |
| DanaG | Not authorized. | 01:23 |
| DanaG | I get that on connecting my external hard drive. | 01:24 |
| DanaG | grr, firefox asks me for my master password three times at once. | 01:29 |
| DanaG | http://lists.mandriva.com/kernel-discuss/2009-07/msg00018.php | 01:30 |
| BluesKaj | DanaG, which FF version ? | 01:50 |
| DanaG | 3.5.2, I think it is. | 01:50 |
| DanaG | I do have extensions that prompt for master password... but it's silly that it allows the same prompt, multiple times, simultaneously. | 01:51 |
| BluesKaj | ok, i don't use that extension | 01:51 |
| DanaG | that's not "that extension". | 01:52 |
| DanaG | Master password is a Firefox feature. | 01:53 |
| DanaG | any extension that stores a password from some service, can encrypt the password with the Master Password. | 01:53 |
| BluesKaj | yes , I'm aware , but I'm usually too lazy to use those features :) | 01:55 |
| BluesKaj | I'm using chromium atm , since FF stsrted to become slow | 01:55 |
| BluesKaj | TV time with wifey ...BBL | 01:57 |
| DanaG | grr, Deluge always forgets the queue order on downloads. | 01:57 |
| DanaG | "always" meaning "each time it starts". | 01:57 |
| komputes | Just wondering, everyone here using Karmic, do you feel that using UUID's as the mount point is an intended behaviour? | 01:57 |
| DanaG | hmm, it only does that for non-labeled volumes. | 01:58 |
| komputes | yes | 01:58 |
| DanaG | It used to be just disk, disk-1, disk-2, and such. | 01:58 |
| komputes | as most disks go unlabeled, do you feel this is correct behavior, a UUID can have many charachters in it (somerimes too many to remember if you don't have autocomplete) | 01:59 |
| komputes | disk, disk-1, disk-2 is the intended behavior if you ask me | 01:59 |
| DanaG | should be by size instead? | 01:59 |
| DanaG | /media/disk-30G | 02:00 |
| DanaG | and such. | 02:00 |
| komputes | then you could potentially have two with the same size | 02:02 |
| DanaG | Then they could do the 30G-1 thing. | 02:03 |
| DanaG | Or... just label the disks. =þ | 02:03 |
| giovani | why is using UUIDs when labels don't exist non-desired behavior? that makes no sense | 02:08 |
| BluesKaj | non-desired , there's another new word , it used to be undesired ...picky picky :) | 02:12 |
| DanaG | grr, how do you get a backtrace when Nautilus crashes? | 02:13 |
| DanaG | It detaches from the controlling terminal... grr! | 02:13 |
| DanaG | oh, gdb. | 02:13 |
| DanaG | Program exited normally. | 02:14 |
| DanaG | Apparently Nautilus is not actually /usr/bin/nautilus. | 02:14 |
| BluesKaj | DanaG, dmesg | tail doesn't work ? | 02:15 |
| DanaG | for what... Nautilus? no, it's not segfaulting. | 02:15 |

As far as I know I do not have any firewalls or anything enabled and I ran one of these networking scripts I found on the internet and it said I had 2 default routes but I am not really sure what could be causing the problem. Are there any networking experts that could help shed some light on whats happening? | 02:53 |
| roscoe | Does anyone know if drivers for older nvidia cards are going to be updated to the .31 kernel | 03:17 |

| amason_ | DanaG: just out of curiosity do you file bug reports for these issues you find or do you just tell people in the irc channel ? | 04:21 |

| simba_ | akio, I've only tried UNR on atom....was so sattisfied that i havent tried anything else | 05:54 |
| x1250 | sparr, no idea, but about:config would be a good place to start looking. | 05:55 |

| binarymutant | no clue sorry :/ I don't even have that file it's trying to overwrite | 06:06 |
| binarymutant | remove it, then upgrade it :) | 06:06 |

| xim_ | ooops meant for offtopic | 06:08 |
| hifi | the software is not considered stable | 06:08 |

| mac_v | Amaranth: oh... is there any way at all to fix this properly? | 07:37 |
| Amaranth | mac_v: not without breaking a bunch of other stuff | 07:37 |
| Amaranth | mac_v: The hack is really the only way | 07:37 |
| mac_v | aw! | 07:37 |
| Amaranth | It's only a hack because the compiz plugin system doesn't let you do such things normally | 07:37 |
| mac_v | Amaranth: could compiz-Ubuntu only have the hack? without upstream or is it too much work? | 07:38 |
| Amaranth | mac_v: I suspect it'll be a simple patch to carry in Ubuntu if upstream cannot be convinced and it looks like compiz++ will allow the same technique to be used, basically | 07:39 |
| Amaranth | mac_v: I don't suspect the decoration plugin will ever get too many changes upstream so not a lot of churn to keep updated with | 07:39 |
| Amaranth | mac_v: why do you think I'm getting my karmic install up-to-date? :) | 07:40 |
| Amaranth | kind of sad after so much effort was put into dropping ubuntu patches from compiz though | 07:40 |
| mac_v | Amaranth: thats nice ;) could you link a branch with the hack? so that it could be decided? | 07:41 |
| mac_v | oops not nice about the drop ;P | 07:41 |

| shadeslayer | BluesKaj: theyre pretty good at these things :P | 13:29 |
| BluesKaj | or is it a hidden kernel module now as well | 13:29 |
| gnomefreak | BluesKaj: System->Admin->Printing should have a settings menu. It does here atleast | 13:31 |
| BluesKaj | leave it to us, "we'll take care of it for you" ..i don't care for that attitude, leaves no options | 13:31 |
| BluesKaj | kde , gnomefreak , not in system settings anymore | 13:32 |
| gnomefreak | BluesKaj: i would say KDE guys hide it from menu maybe? | 13:32 |
| shadeslayer | BluesKaj: have you checked in the system settings page? | 13:32 |
| shadeslayer | BluesKaj: also alt+F2 > printers? | 13:33 |
| aboSamoor | I just updated openOffice, and tested it, it is extremely fast. I think I have a problem I should report a bug ! | 13:33 |
| BluesKaj | nope | 13:33 |
| jonathonf | aboSamoor: 3.1.1rc? Do the menus show correctly? | 13:34 |
| aboSamoor | jonathonf, build 9417, no problem with menus. It is really fast launching the writer is faster than gedit !!! | 13:36 |
| shadeslayer | btw,is it possible to package software using a svn checkout? | 13:36 |
| gnomefreak | shadeslayer: yes we do it all the time for alot of packages | 13:39 |
| jonathonf | aboSamoor: do you have any localisations installed for ooo? i have no graphical menus and it crashes when i go to tools, options | 13:40 |
| shadeslayer | gnomefreak: cool,im in kubuntu-devel... ;) | 13:41 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: a checkout is just a source base - no different than a tarball | 13:41 |

| sparr | not for me | 15:27 |
| sparr | but anyway, minor issue | 15:27 |
| sparr | im probably going to have to manually downgrade apache, though | 15:27 |
| Milos_SD | btw, when I asked is all updates ok, I thought on system packages, not on apps.... like Xorg, GDM, gnome, python (it had a lot of issues in Jaunty), etc .. | 15:28 |
| jonathonf | sparr: there's an extension that works around that bug | 15:28 |
| sparr | Milos_SD: do you consider apache to be a system package or an app? | 15:28 |
| jonathonf | i'll find it again | 15:28 |
| sparr | jonathonf: i know, ive got it | 15:28 |
| gnomefreak | Milos_SD: Xorg would depend on your hardware | 15:28 |
| jonathonf | ah ok | 15:28 |
| Milos_SD | sparr, well, it depends, not everyone has it (I have it, but don't use it) | 15:29 |
| gnomefreak | sparr: is this simular to what you are seeing? https://launchpad.net/bugs/413950 | 15:29 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 413950 in firefox-3.5 "Incorrect cursor positioning in Firefox." [Undecided,Confirmed] | 15:29 |
| Milos_SD | gnomefreak, I have Nvidia 7600gt | 15:29 |
| mac_v | sparr: its all related to the cursor positioning i believe | 15:29 |
| sparr | that is plausible | 15:30 |
| gnomefreak | Milos_SD: nvidia 180 driver works for me but that doesnt mean anything. and right now nvidia-common is being held back so i would wait. dist-upgrade however you do it will upgrade it and it will cause breakage | 15:30 |
| mac_v | sparr: could you comment you problem on the bug too | 15:30 |
| mac_v | s/you/your | 15:31 |
| Milos_SD | gnomefreak, I use 190.18, and I alweys install it manualy, from nvidia .run package (I have custom kernel), so I can purge nvidia-common and have no problems with it (I think) | 15:31 |
| sparr | yes, and then I am done with it | 15:31 |
| sparr | like I said, minor issue | 15:31 |
| sparr | my web server crashing at random is slightly more significant to me | 15:32 |
| gnomefreak | Milos_SD: some people are/were having issues with the 190 drivers but if you want to know open bugs just look on launchpad. using custom kernel may break upgrade | 15:32 |
| jonathonf | i have 9600gt and 190.18 and am having no problems at the moment | 15:33 |
| jonathonf | *from repo/ppa | 15:34 |
| Milos_SD | gnomefreak, it will not break it, I had custom kernel when I upgraded to Jaunty alpha 5 too... I aksed this because I read on forums that there ware some problems with new GDM... are they resolved? | 15:34 |
| scizzo- | Milos_SD: I have had no problems with GDM | 15:37 |
| gnomefreak | Milos_SD: "it wont break" is not safe to say since its not the same kernel (all depends on what changed) however if you want to upgrade to karmic go ahead but as for "safe" no its not unless you know how to fix broken things | 15:38 |
| roscoe | gnomefreak, I have an older Gforce 4 card on my laptop, do you think that when karmic is released I will be able to upgrade from jaunty? | 15:39 |
| gnomefreak | roscoe: what drivers? | 15:39 |
| gnomefreak | roscoe: there were issues with the 173 drivers in our repos | 15:39 |
| jonathonf | should be able to use the 173 series for Geforce 4s | 15:39 |
| roscoe | not sure I am fairly new at this | 15:39 |
| jonathonf | there's a prerelease which should support the newer kernels | 15:40 |
| gnomefreak | 173 was demoted and i had major issues as have alot of others | 15:40 |
| Milos_SD | gnomefreak, I know it is not complitly safe, I did upgrades in alpha stage 2 times (with hardy and with jaunty), but what I was asking is that, is there any package right now that will not update (is there some partial update right now on karmic)? :) | 15:40 |
| jonathonf | http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=2037374 | 15:40 |
| alankila | I see full updates myself. | 15:40 |
| gnomefreak | Milos_SD: again cant answer that since not everyone uses the same packages. as for major ones it should be fine | 15:41 |
| gnomefreak | jonathonf: we havent updated to it yet | 15:41 |
| jonathonf | right | 15:42 |
| Milos_SD | gnomefreak, thanks, that is what I wanted to hear... I can fix some apps, but I can't fix it if it some major system package that will render my system unbootable :) | 15:42 |
| jonathonf | i saw someone on the forum had patched it and made it available in their own ppa | 15:42 |
| gnomefreak | Milos_SD: if any major changes to your kernel or to upstream kernel it is possible that it will break but all depends on changes made. | 15:43 |
| gnomefreak | yay i am caught up for the week :) | 15:43 |
| Milos_SD | and one more question... if I do an upgrade, will grub be updated to grub2 too, or I have to do grub-install for that? :) | 15:44 |
| alankila | the grub2 install step was manual for me at least. | 15:45 |
| alankila | They have been talking about switching the default to grub2. | 15:45 |
| gnomefreak | Milos_SD: i dont think the final grub updating is in place yet | 15:46 |
| alankila | the update to grub2 itself occured during the package install time with some kind of transitionary stage where you have both grub1 and 2 in parallel somehow. I suspect what happens is that grub1 boots first, and is configured to load grub2, so you can check if it works and then replace grub1 entirely. However, I never looked at this too closely, finding the setup rather confusing. | 15:47 |
| Milos_SD | thanks for answers... I will think a little more if I'm gonna upgrade now, or on september 4th | 15:47 |
| Milos_SD | the only reason I want to upgrade is for pulseaudio 0.9.16 (there is no rtkit in Jaunty), and for Pidgin 2.6.1 audio/video support :) | 15:48 |
| jonathonf | Milos_SD: there's no 2.6.1 in karmic yet | 15:49 |
| Milos_SD | jonathonf, I know, but I can compile it... karmic has version of packages that pidgin needs for audio/video support... If I compile that packages on Jaunty, I can't use totem anymore :) | 15:51 |
| dodecanese | hi | 15:51 |
| Milos_SD | Karmic have* | 15:51 |
| dodecanese | is it possible to use ext4 with my ext3 drive? | 15:51 |
| jonathonf | ah ok | 15:51 |
| jonathonf | dodecanese: yes, just change ext3 to ext4 in /etc/fstab | 15:51 |
| dodecanese | ah | 15:52 |
| dodecanese | and should i do a fsck? | 15:52 |
| dodecanese | i still got some problems with the gorgs | 15:53 |
| alankila | wasn't it necessary to set some flags and then actually upgrade the filesystem? | 15:53 |
| alankila | I mean, it won't be true ext4 unless you enable ext4 features | 15:54 |
| jonathonf | mounting ext3 as ext4 will gain some features but without changing the filesystem, if you want to full range that you'll have to do the upgrade thingy | 15:54 |
| alankila | even ext2->3 needed construction of a journal file or something, I dimly recall. | 15:54 |
| alankila | For the record, I was one of the early people who tried to convert an ext3 to ext4 only to be bitten by N² algorithms in fsck which meant it would have taken days, possibly weeks, to finish that upgrade | 15:55 |
| dodecanese | upgrade thingy? | 15:55 |
| dodecanese | weeks?! | 15:55 |
| jonathonf | lol, not the best description | 15:55 |
| alankila | yes, it was a 250 GB drive and after a day it had not made much progress... Some people reported that conversions of 30 GB devices had taken hours for them, and this was not a linear relationship but a quadratic one. It's of course hard to estimate correctly, but I imagine 1-2 weeks might have been it | 15:56 |
| dodecanese | its 4TB | 15:56 |
| dodecanese | so i expect it takes at least 1 year | 15:56 |
| dodecanese | what kind of crackheads develope such slow algorythms for converting fs? | 15:57 |
| alankila | It was just a honest mistake... They tested with too small filesystems, I guess, so they didn't notice that. | 15:57 |
| dodecanese | so its faster to copy the entire content to another drive and move it back | 15:58 |
| alankila | oh yes, way faster. Not to mention it will be a proper ext4 filesystem with stuff placed as the filesystem prefers it rather than some kind of conversion where you have ext3 data layouts for old files, as I understand that the upgrade mostly concerns fixing the metadata | 15:59 |
| dodecanese | whatever, its better for some coders: smoke less weed | 16:00 |
| dodecanese | so its better to change to xfs? | 16:01 |
| alankila | no. | 16:01 |
| alankila | I mean, I've tried xfs. But its metadata performance is awful, especially deletes take forever. | 16:02 |
| dodecanese | and btfrs? | 16:02 |
| dodecanese | they should compress the metadata using lzma, to increase the performance | 16:03 |
| alankila | I have written a flash filesystem with btrfs but only played with that for a few minutes before wiping it -- I meant to try root fs on btrfs but then I noticed that grub2 can't read that fs yet | 16:03 |
| dodecanese | less metadata i/o | 16:03 |
| bjsnider | right now btrfs has no performance improvements over ext4 or xfs | 16:03 |
| alankila | I can't tell if btrfs would be any faster than ext4. I imagine that system's selling point is the advanced features, not performance. | 16:04 |
| dodecanese | someday travelling matt comes and tell me whats good | 16:04 |
| === jon4th0n is now known as jonathonf | ||
| dodecanese | i hope microsoft put ntfs under gpl, that would be great | 16:04 |
| dodecanese | this FS Zoo is anoying | 16:05 |
| alankila | quite right. There are too many file systems, most which are worse in every respect to some other file system. | 16:07 |
| natewiebe13 | alankila: too many in general? | 16:07 |
| alankila | too many supported by the linux kernel. | 16:07 |
| natewiebe13 | okay.. i only use ext4 and fat32 (fat for usb devices) | 16:08 |
| alankila | well, at least they are modules. I suppose I don't pay for them so I don't mind, but it's a principled objection, not practical one. | 16:08 |
| dodecanese | fat, the worst FS | 16:09 |
| natewiebe13 | dodecanese: i meant fat32, ive never used fat | 16:09 |
| alankila | So linux has 9p, adfs, affs, fs, autofs, autofsn, befs, bfs, btrfs, cifs, coda, configfs, cramfs, dlm, efs, exofs, exportfs, fat, freevxfs, gfs2, hfs, fs+, hpfs, isofs, jffs2, jfs, minix, ncpfs, nfs, nilfs2, , ntfs, ocfs2, omfs, qnx4, reiserfs, romfs, smbfs, squashfs, ubifs, udf, ufs, xfs ... Maybe some of these aren't actual filesystems | 16:10 |
| alankila | but somehow the feeling is that a few of these could be remoed. That fs was supposed to be afs. | 16:10 |
| bjsnider | also tuxfs or whatever it's called was just merged | 16:10 |
| alankila | It's ridiculous that something morbidly obsolete like affs still exists in linux kernel. | 16:11 |
| idleone_ | . | 16:11 |
| natewiebe13 | isnt the idea of linux to be compatible with as much as possible? | 16:12 |
| natewiebe13 | as long as it isnt making it ridiculously slow (which it isnt) i dont see a problem | 16:12 |
| natewiebe13 | its just messy in the code | 16:12 |
| gnomefreak | that is the idea of it | 16:12 |
| === idleone_ is now known as IdleOne | ||
| alankila | There's a limit to how much stuff like that you really want to support. The fs kernel modules weigh 10 MB, which is not an irrelevant amount. | 16:12 |
| natewiebe13 | well now with the majority of never computers getting 500GB to 1TB i dont see a major issue | 16:13 |
| alankila | considering that the whole kernel is something like 118 MB maybe it isn't that much, but a bit of culling could bring down all sorts of costs associated with storage, install time, bandwidth. | 16:13 |
| natewiebe13 | *newer | 16:13 |
| natewiebe13 | better than what other os's have to offer in terms of size | 16:13 |
| alankila | and today you could easily move all sorts of non-bootable filesystems into FUSE only. Like amiga fast file system, a good example of useless fs if any. | 16:14 |
| natewiebe13 | vista ultimate (12GB) on fresh install, thats just a joke | 16:14 |
| bjsnider | vista asks for 14gb | 16:14 |
| natewiebe13 | my ultimate does 12gb on fresh install | 16:14 |
| bjsnider | of all the things wrong with linux, this is a minor issue | 16:14 |
| alankila | let's ignore vista and just concentrate to make linux better. It's harmful to lug all this dead code around. It takes time to maintain, space and time to install and move across systems, and is no use to anyone. | 16:14 |
| natewiebe13 | bjsnider: exactly my point | 16:15 |
| bjsnider | i'd say the awful state of the graphics system is the top problem at this point | 16:15 |
| IdleOne | caqn we pick a sound server? | 16:15 |
| IdleOne | can* | 16:15 |
| bjsnider | i think we have picked one | 16:15 |
| bjsnider | it's called pulseaudio | 16:15 |
| natewiebe13 | i like how it is atm (alsa with pulseaudio frontend) everything works great for me | 16:16 |
| alankila | and if you say linux is so small, then how come my linux installs are at least 3 GB, then? I'm saying that linux is pretty bloated as well, although not quite as bloated^Wfilled with useful features as Vista. | 16:16 |
| alankila | But it's an useless discussion. I regret saying it already. | 16:16 |
| bjsnider | at least vista's graphics system works | 16:16 |
| natewiebe13 | installed 9.04 the other day and it was 1.7 gb | 16:17 |
| bjsnider | at leaswt you can run the whole composited desktop off the graphics card if you've got a decent one | 16:17 |
| alankila | yeah I do have eclipse and java and some development junk installed | 16:17 |
| natewiebe13 | bjsnider: what do you mean exactly about graphics system | 16:17 |
| natewiebe13 | ? | 16:17 |
| alankila | that bloats it up in a hurry. | 16:17 |
| bjsnider | natewiebe13, now you've done it | 16:17 |
| natewiebe13 | do you mean drivers, or frontend? | 16:17 |
| bjsnider | i don't have the space to list all of the complaints | 16:18 |
| natewiebe13 | i have no complaints | 16:18 |
| bjsnider | no, compiz is fine | 16:18 |
| alankila | and arguably, a fresh Linux install is way more useful than fresh Vista install. It has many more applications... say, this does raise the question, what on Earth is microsoft shipping with Vista to make it so large? | 16:18 |
| natewiebe13 | except the flashing between usplash/gdm/session | 16:18 |
| bjsnider | i'm talking about the problems for example with the many useless ATI drivers for instance | 16:18 |
| natewiebe13 | i dont use ati | 16:18 |
| natewiebe13 | nvidia [thumbs up] | 16:18 |
| bjsnider | which driver would you use if you did? | 16:19 |
| dodecanese | i do not compare vista with linux, thats comparing bikes vs cars | 16:19 |
| bjsnider | it is difficult to keep track of their manydrivers | 16:19 |
| natewiebe13 | radeon | 16:19 |
| bjsnider | ok, whatever | 16:19 |
| natewiebe13 | dodecanese: i use windows for games from steam (tf2,hl2,portal, etc) thats it | 16:19 |
| natewiebe13 | everything else is ubuntu 9.10 or 9.04 | 16:20 |
| bjsnider | nvidia's blob has problems too. it can't be included with the kernel, and it replaces mesa with something undocumented | 16:20 |
| gnomefreak | can we please take the offtopic discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic. this channel is support for Karmic only | 16:20 |

| slimg | A seemingly similar thing also happens when i disconnect from a screen session on the same karmic server, the screen session disappears, and I can see the terminal again, but I'm not able to run anything, and the prompt is gone | 19:19 |
| cyphermox | slimg, any change you're starting some kind of daemon or background process before you end the session? | 19:23 |

| mac_v | bjsnider: any suggestions? | 21:35 |
| danbhfive | mac_v: I had to just try several till I found one that worked (see !screencast) | 21:36 |
| mac_v | !screencast | 21:36 |
| ubottu | Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 21:36 |
| popey | recordmydesktop works okay | 21:37 |
| mac_v | danbhfive: actually there is no ideal one , but just trying to get one which everyone likes :P | 21:37 |
| DanaG | now, how would I record all the way from usplash to desktop? | 21:38 |
| DanaG | I need to get the very beginning of gdm, then after login up to desktop. | 21:38 |

| DanaG | argh, had to reboot. | 21:54 |
| DanaG | Basically, the issue with samba, turned out to be an issue with ntfs-3g. | 21:54 |
| DanaG | I was even getting FUSE failing to read. | 21:54 |
| bjsnider | odd | 21:55 |
| DanaG | And the only fix turned out to be a reboot. | 21:55 |

| DarthArachides | Hi, how to disable the system beep? | 21:56 |
| DanaG | so I end up with my share named elitebook/music, instead of ELITEBOOK/Music | 21:56 |
| DanaG | it looks rather wimpy in lowercase. | 21:57 |
| DarthArachides | I already have it blacklisted in my blacklist.conf | 21:57 |
| LordKow | DarthArachides: I encase my computer in pillows ;) | 21:57 |
| DarthArachides | LordKow: LOL | 21:57 |
| DarthArachides | LordKow: Is it really that broken? | 21:57 |
| LordKow | DarthArachides: no just a light hearted comment.... does your motherboards BIOS have an option to disable it? | 21:57 |
| DanaG | hmm, perhaps check the sound card mixer thingamajigger? | 21:57 |
| DarthArachides | LordKow: Yes I think so. | 21:58 |
| DarthArachides | DanaG: I could do that, but it would still be user-specific | 21:58 |
| DarthArachides | DanaG: plus, blacklisting *should* have disabled it :( | 21:58 |
| DanaG | lsmod | grep pcspkr | 21:58 |
| DanaG | it's possible it's ignoring the blacklist. | 21:58 |
| LordKow | ^ all true | 21:58 |
| DanaG | I've blacklisted i915, and have no i915 hardware... and yet, it tries to load and blocks fglrx. | 21:58 |
| DanaG | I ended up having to dpkg-divert the module file out of the way. | 21:59 |
| DarthArachides | DanaG: pcspkr doesn't show up, but beeping still goes on :( | 21:59 |
| LordKow | if what is loading pcspkr is scripted it may be completely ignoring the blacklist altogether | 21:59 |
| LordKow | which is in all likelihood the case | 21:59 |
| DanaG | hmm, how about my i915? | 21:59 |
| DarthArachides | `lsmod | grep pcspkr` is empty | 21:59 |
| _daniel_ | hi! i want to upgrade some components of my jaunty installation to the versions of karmic? can i perform this in an easy way? | 22:00 |
| guntbert | What happened to the "guest session", although the package gdm-guestsession is installed the option "guest session" doesn't appear in the user menu (daily) | 22:01 |
| DarthArachides | _daniel_: yes, just replace jaunty with karmic in your /etc/apt/sources.list, install whatever you want, and then go back to jaunty | 22:01 |
| DarthArachides | _daniel_: you should sudo apt-get update after making the change, of course. | 22:01 |
| LordKow | DarthArachides: by any chance is the package 'beep' installed? | 22:01 |
| DarthArachides | LordKow: nope | 22:01 |
| LordKow | k | 22:01 |
| LordKow | DarthArachides: is it only in a gnome terminal when you get the beep? | 22:03 |
| DarthArachides | LordKow: no, I don't use gnome-terminal at all | 22:04 |
| LordKow | ah | 22:04 |
| LordKow | well... i like my pillow idea ;) | 22:04 |
| DarthArachides | LordKow: I get it on the tty, and even on xterm, and urxvt | 22:05 |
| guntbert | DarthArachides: shouldn't you mention that it is highly likely to have a broken system after such an "upgrade" as _daniel_ wants ? | 22:05 |
| DarthArachides | LordKow: heh, I am doing that using an old headphone :) | 22:05 |
| LordKow | DarthArachides: i've never had an issue with system beep because i unplugged the mofo from the motherboard :P | 22:05 |
| DarthArachides | guntbert: oops you are right; I automatically assume that irc users should be allowed to shoot themselves in the foot. | 22:05 |
| LordKow | anyways, i must be going... later peeps | 22:05 |
| marlun_ | Is there a known problem with Karmic right now because for me gnome won't even open up. | 22:05 |
| DarthArachides | LordKow: heh | 22:05 |
| guntbert | DarthArachides: yes, but not in both at once :-) | 22:06 |
| marlun_ | and I just made an upgrade to the system. | 22:06 |
| DarthArachides | _daniel_: you should be careful, karmic is not that stable, and is not guaranteed to work with jaunty config | 22:06 |
| terrestre | who want to disable systtem beep? | 22:09 |
| guntbert | marlun_: here everything is running smoothly on my daily - if you don't count the crashing of nautilus, gnome-keyring and time-admin ;-) | 22:09 |
| marlun_ | guntbert: hehe, go it. Kinds nice being in irssi in a real terminal. | 22:10 |
| marlun_ | Nice colors too. | 22:10 |
| _daniel_ | so it is dangerous upgrading such simple components like bluez? | 22:11 |
| guntbert | _daniel_: as karmic is still in alpha state - everything could be dangerous - my above mentioned chrashes were real ones - at the moment karmic is for testing/bug hunting only | 22:13 |
| _daniel_ | and i dont have another possibility of getting that package working besides compilin from scratch? | 22:14 |
| herenbdy | after an apt-get dist-upgrade earlier today, the x server doesn't seem to want to start up | 22:15 |
| marlun_ | herenbdy: same here :) | 22:16 |
| herenbdy | yay! | 22:16 |
| herenbdy | found a fix for it? | 22:16 |
| herenbdy | marlun_: | 22:17 |
| marlun_ | Nope, just happend to me. I'm to tiered to do anything about it, have to go to bed soon. | 22:17 |
| guntbert | herenbdy, marlun_ what video card do have? today's update had nvidia modules | 22:19 |
| marlun_ | I've got nvidia | 22:19 |
| marlun_ | not sure how to check which one though.. but it's a laptop. | 22:20 |
| guntbert | marlun_: doesn't matter to me, it was only a hint about a possible reason, did you file a bug report? | 22:21 |
| marlun_ | Nope, don't have access to a computer where I can do it right now. | 22:22 |
| * richardcavell still has sound issues and wonders if anyone's fixed them | 22:22 | |
| marlun_ | Well, will check back tomorrow :) Goodnight everyone! | 22:23 |
| herenbdy | guntbert: nvidia here as well | 22:26 |
| herenbdy | guntbert: it's still broken, even after removing all nvidia-related packages :( | 22:27 |
| guntbert | herenbdy: sorry, no help from me :-(, but you *could* file a bug report... | 22:27 |
| BUGabundo | hey fellows | 22:29 |
| herenbdy | once I get my desktop up again | 22:29 |
| BUGabundo | what nvidia? | 22:29 |
| BUGabundo | I just got updates!! | 22:29 |
| herenbdy | updates? | 22:30 |
| BUGabundo | herenbdy: from nvidia | 22:30 |
| BUGabundo | Setting up nvidia-185-libvdpau (185.18.31-0ubuntu1) ... | 22:30 |
| BUGabundo | Setting up nvidia-185-libvdpau-dev (185.18.31-0ubuntu1) ... | 22:30 |

| BUGabundo | Setting up nvidia-glx-185 (185.18.31-0ubuntu1) ... | 22:30 |
| herenbdy | yes, those broke my system :( | 22:31 |
| BUGabundo | darn | 22:31 |
| BUGabundo | and I don't have the old one on cache | 22:31 |
| herenbdy | x server won't start now on reboot | 22:31 |
| BUGabundo | :( | 22:31 |
| mphill | eek | 22:31 |
| mphill | BUGabundo: sorry to hear that | 22:31 |
| DanaG | That's one thing I like about fglrx: if the kernel module fails to load, you can at least still start X, though in slow-and-crappy mode. | 22:32 |
| mphill | i rebooted my system remotely this morning, and its down completely. interested to see what find of goodness awaits me | 22:32 |
| BUGabundo | well I'll only use it again tomorrow | 22:32 |
| * DanaG wishes AMD had some equivalent of Intel's AMT -- particularly, the Serial-Over-LAN feature. | 22:32 | |
| BUGabundo | I guess I'll downgrade to vesa or something ehh | 22:33 |
| herenbdy | trying sudo startx: Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0). No drivers available | 22:34 |
| herenbdy | would restoring my xorg.conf file to a default one fix it? | 22:34 |
| DanaG | is nvidia-glx installed properly? and the dkms thingy? | 22:34 |
| herenbdy | nvidia-common is installed, which brought in the nvidia-185 stuff | 22:35 |
| herenbdy | normally when I upgrade drivers, I see the dkms thingy install the module, but I didn't this time | 22:37 |
| sageNsand | Rooms list isn't showing in Empathy. I can enter a room if I type it in, but no room list are being shown. Anyone know anything about this? | 22:39 |

| BUGabundo | dpkg: warning: obsolete option '--print-installation-architecture', please use '--print-architecture' instead. | 22:41 |
| BUGabundo | maybe that has something to do with it? | 22:41 |
| xray7224 | whats the default gnome network manager called | 22:43 |
| herenbdy | how can I make the x server use the default drivers? | 22:44 |
| herenbdy | to fix this? | 22:44 |
| mphill | a few ways | 22:45 |
| mphill | do you have a Xorg.conf | 22:45 |
| herenbdy | yes | 22:46 |
| mphill | what is your driver set to? | 22:46 |
| mphill | you can try setting it just to vesa to at least get into X | 22:46 |
| herenbdy | nvidia? or something mor specific? | 22:46 |
| mphill | you can also mv Xorg.conf to Xorg.backup | 22:46 |
| mphill | and test, it might light up | 22:47 |
| * herenbdy takes a crash course in vi | 22:50 | |
| mphill | herenbdy: just use nano | 22:52 |
| mphill | its a lot simpler | 22:52 |
| mphill | works more like a DOS editor | 22:52 |
| vesayth | is there anyway to downgrade to Grub from Grub2 after a fresh karmic install? | 22:55 |
| herenbdy | mphill: thanks.. that was a lot easier than trying to work with vi | 22:56 |
| herenbdy | yay, x is starting now | 22:57 |
| BUGabundo | vesayth: instaling grub-legacy? | 22:57 |
| vesayth | bugabundo: is there a repository I need to enable for that? | 22:58 |
| BUGabundo | no | 22:59 |
| BUGabundo | should be in the archive | 22:59 |
| vesayth | hmm, saying it's not available but referred to by another package | 22:59 |
| BUGabundo | Candidate: 0.97-29ubuntu56 | 22:59 |
| BUGabundo | just get GRUB | 22:59 |
| vesayth | oh, that works =] | 23:00 |
| vesayth | and that will automaticall replace my grub2 bootloader? | 23:00 |
| vesayth | looks that way, thanks a bunch | 23:00 |
| ellar | hello, will karmic already contain the ubuntu greeter with clutter (like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pYjYZw6AFE&) ? Where can I test it? I did not find it in daily-release? | 23:02 |

| Raydiation | bjsnider: 180 doesnt support geforce gtx 275 right? | 23:16 |
| bjsnider | i think it does | 23:17 |
| HobbleAlong | Raydiation: yes it booted from the live CD but failed whenever I tried to do anything. I tried the install 11 times to no avail. Nothing was consistent each time it failed somewhere different. | 23:17 |
| dodecanese | i got my landlord installed | 23:18 |

| bjsnider | what was the big problem with intrepid? | 23:23 |
| x1250 | guys, why would the root / partition be mounted as readonly when using data=journal? This only happens on the root partition, but /home works ok with data=journal in fstab. This is the actual line I used for the root partition, do you see anything wrong? | 23:24 |

| HobbleAlong | bjsnider: I don't know as there was a *big* problem. It just seemed to have a bunch of little annoyances. It may have actually been fixed but I never stuck around long enough. I was, and still am, quite happy with 8.04. | 23:25 |
