| natewiebe13 | Neonexus: no kidding.. they only gave us a new splash that doesnt even work right | 00:00 |
| Neonexus | some of the examples on utube was amazing | 00:00 |
| natewiebe13 | real or mockups? | 00:01 |
| Neonexus | mockups | 00:01 |
| Neonexus | nate u know anything about firestarter? | 00:02 |
| natewiebe13 | nope | 00:03 |
| connex | dbus is running. | 00:03 |
| natewiebe13 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jkocGPBqhc <--- how does his splash work properly? | 00:03 |
| simba_ | my splash do that to | 00:05 |
| Neonexus | Its still pretty lame! | 00:05 |
| natewiebe13 | really? its supposed to be bugged | 00:05 |
| simba_ | lol....plenty of other buggs | 00:05 |
| natewiebe13 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1mJlc6yxvQ | 00:05 |
| natewiebe13 | like that | 00:05 |
| natewiebe13 | thats how mine looks at least | 00:06 |
| natewiebe13 | simba_: thats what is is supposed to look like ^ | 00:07 |
| natewiebe13 | am i the only one with the throbber moving vertically instead of horizontally? | 00:08 |
| Neonexus | mine does that too | 00:08 |
| natewiebe13 | okay | 00:08 |
| natewiebe13 | good.. im not the only one | 00:08 |
| penguin42 | I get that as well - vertical | 00:09 |
| natewiebe13 | simba_: yours moves horizontally and not vertically? | 00:09 |
| penguin42 | it looks erm odd | 00:09 |
| natewiebe13 | yeah.. and in the first video.. that guy's works | 00:09 |
| natewiebe13 | anyone know how? | 00:10 |
| * penguin42 guesses it's some combination of graphics driver and phase of the moon | 00:11 | |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 420217 in xsplash "There are 51 frames in xsplash-throbber.png" [Low,New] | 00:13 |
| natewiebe13 | looks like xsplash-throbber.png was made wrong | 00:13 |
| natewiebe13 | or you need to change the amount of frames and recompile.. that probably what the other guy did | 00:14 |
| natewiebe13 | i'll try it tomorrow and release a .deb for a temporary fix | 00:14 |
| * penguin42 is left wondering why it need pre-rendering | 00:14 | |
| Neonexus | has anyone elses firestarter stopped logging firewall events? | 00:18 |
| natewiebe13 | penguin42: just got the source.. the throbber has 51 frames.. and the xsplash config calls for 50 frames.. thats why its glitching | 00:20 |
| natewiebe13 | im at home and have no karmic, otherwise id recompile it right now | 00:20 |
| penguin42 | ah, but still, I don't quite understand why it doesn't just draw the throbber there and then rather than pull it in from pics | 00:21 |
| natewiebe13 | my guess is its using transparency and a gaussian blur.. most video cards cant render it that fast | 00:21 |
| genii | Is there any GRUB load option for vga=### which would do 1920x1080 ? | 00:22 |

| natewiebe13 | thats the best way to have it look good and still be smooth on onboard video and old cards | 00:22 |
| natewiebe13 | still | 00:22 |
| penguin42 | genii: I think the vga= only does stuff your video bios knows | 00:22 |
| natewiebe13 | genii: there is an option for that | 00:22 |
| natewiebe13 | i'll find it | 00:22 |

| natewiebe13 | genii: if i was on my karmic computer at work i could find it | 00:29 |

| genii | maccam94: Not sure. Couldn't find it on the Karmic known issues list. But for me, the splash screen is like a teensy thing in the middle | 00:32 |

| krushia | is it possible to make the kde 4.3 "report bug" feature work as intended in karamic, instead of using the apport thingy? | 01:17 |
| Pretto | why my rule that worked on jaunty does not work on karmic | 01:31 |

| dtchen | without knowing what the rule is... | 01:33 |
| Pretto | dtchen http://paste.ubuntu.com/261228/ | 01:35 |
| Pretto | dtchen it is md300 modem that works like a storage device too, so ubuntu only recognizes it like usb storage divice | 01:36 |
| Pretto | dtchen i have used that rule since intrepid, but now it doesnt work on karmic | 01:37 |

| mpontillo | x1250: I filed bug 420578 regarding the pulseaudio problem we were talking about last night. you said this happened to you too - so please jump into the discussion if you have anything to add | 01:41 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 420578 in pulseaudio "Karmic: PCM volume (as seen in alsamixer) "stuck" at 100% with pulseaudio enabled" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/420578 | 01:41 |
| dtchen | mpontillo: it's probably a codec-specific bug, but you'll need to move PA out of the equation to test | 01:42 |
| dtchen | i.e., verify that ALSA is fine without it and that you need to tweak the profiles for PA | 01:43 |
| mpontillo | dtchen: I have - when I take pulseaudio out of the picture, I can adjust the volume. as soon as I turn it back on, it's locked in place at 100% | 01:43 |
| dtchen | interesting, i don't have that symptom | 01:43 |
| mpontillo | right, I saw your comments. I am using a system upgraded from Jaunty. maybe I should try a USB key at some point to see if it happens on a fresh install | 01:44 |
| bjsnider | yes but you're using a different sound card i'd bet | 01:44 |
| dtchen | mpontillo: can you try killall pulseaudio;mv ~/.pulse ~/.pulse.bak | 01:45 |
| mpontillo | dtchen: oh, I already tried that. I was more worried about the files in /etc. though they should be fine since I never modified them under Jaunty(--) | 01:46 |

| dtchen | mpontillo: ok, so you probably want to look at /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output* | 01:50 |
| itswhatev | something weird is afoot. my intel 965gm is freezing like a mf. it was fine, and then i had to do a re-install with alpha3 cd (didn't format), now it's unstable. seems odd. | 01:50 |
| DanaG | oh yeah, this reminds me... I still need to report my issues with the USB sound card. | 01:51 |
| DanaG | And I still have that udev "device does not exist" issue. | 01:52 |
| dtchen | it's known | 01:53 |
| DanaG | The udev one? Cool. | 01:53 |
| dtchen | if you can get pulseaudio -vvvv attached, that would help | 01:53 |
| mpontillo | dtchen: thanks; I'm checking it out but I'm not really sure what I'm looking at. it looks like a default config. I don't see anything in there that should obviously cause my problem | 01:54 |
| DanaG | Is there an existing report to attach it to? | 01:54 |
| dtchen | mpontillo: IF it turns out not to be a codec (driver) issue, you may try changing the volume = merge | 01:55 |
| mpontillo | dtchen: the pulseaudio -vvvv output is a bit interesting. has some clues on where to look in the code, potentially. I'll attach it. | 01:56 |
| DanaG | ugh, have to reboot -- I got an oops. | 01:57 |
| Pretto | dtchen no success? | 01:58 |
| Pretto | :( | 01:58 |

| dtchen | Pretto: is /sys/%p/device/bConfigurationValue valid? | 02:00 |
| dtchen | (assuming %p is substituted appropriately) | 02:00 |

| HazRPG1 | hey guys | 02:01 |
| dtchen | can you try with udevadm trigger, then? | 02:01 |
| Pretto | dtchen to be honest i dont know the value of that, but worked on intrepid and jaunty | 02:01 |
| dtchen | i'll be back later | 02:02 |
| Pretto | anyone else would help? | 02:02 |
| HazRPG1 | has anyone else noticed that karmic (with all current updates) doesn't shutdown or restart properly anymore? | 02:02 |
| HazRPG1 | it just freezes with a _ blinking | 02:03 |

| Lars_G | DanaG: compiled yourself or pulled from the alpha builds? | 02:14 |
| DanaG | It's the one from the repos. | 02:14 |
| Lars_G | good | 02:14 |
| Lars_G | would you do me one last favor please? | 02:14 |
| Lars_G | check your /lib/modules in kernel/drivers/net to see if you have the atl1c dir/module | 02:14 |
| Lars_G | not atl1 or atl1e or atl1x, but atl1c | 02:15 |
| Lars_G | thanks beforehand :) | 02:15 |

| dtchen | Pretto: s/PROGRAM/RUN+=/ | 04:27 |
| DanaG | oh yeah, that reminds me... something in udev broke the Xilinx USB JTAG cable. | 04:27 |
| DanaG | It used to use a "$TEMPNODE" variable, that now no longer exists. | 04:27 |
| DanaG | I had to change it to $env{devname} | 04:27 |
| Pretto | dtchen :D i've changed the modem-switch rule using that, no success at all too | 04:28 |
| dtchen | Pretto: are you positive your path is valid? | 04:28 |
| Pretto | dtchen yes | 04:28 |
| dtchen | do you absolutely need to invoke it with /bin/sh ? | 04:29 |
| dtchen | DanaG: udev moves pretty quickly, (un)fortunately | 04:29 |
| DanaG | Particularly bad for closed-source stuff like that WinDriver. | 04:30 |
| Pretto | dtchen that is the problem, i only know that it worked on intrepid and jaunty, and did an echo %p to a file that results in an empty file | 04:30 |
| dtchen | Pretto: it's not really "empty", since sysfs is (like proc) a pseudo-fs | 04:32 |
| dtchen | Pretto: what happens if you insert the device and run the echo command manually? | 04:32 |
| dtchen | there are all sorts of things that could be happening- race condition, etc. | 04:32 |
| Pretto | dtchen i mean, is the %p like a variable? | 04:32 |
| dtchen | Pretto: well, that's a completely different matter, but yes, that's another thing to debug- whether %p is valid at that point | 04:33 |
| Pretto | dtchen that is what i meant, i tryied to echo %p to a file in the rule, but got an empty file | 04:34 |
| dtchen | Pretto: ah! then %p is undefined | 04:34 |
| dtchen | what was %p supposed to be in the original? | 04:35 |
| Pretto | dtchen i think it will have the devpath value | 04:35 |
| Pretto | dtchen just guessing | 04:36 |
| dtchen | i really think that path is invalid in Karmic | 04:37 |
| Pretto | dtchen how can i debug it? | 04:37 |
| dtchen | Pretto: then pass devpath | 04:41 |
| dtchen | because %p clearly is wrong | 04:42 |
| Pretto | dtchen hehhehhe... if i guessed right, devpath would work | 04:43 |

| gletob | MindVirus1, it add a entry into grub to chainload grub 2 | 06:21 |
| bucky | and people like all the latest crap like that and run into a brick wall | 06:21 |
| MindVirus1 | gletob: it removes grub though. | 06:21 |
| gletob | I tried it but didn't like the way it works. | 06:21 |
| MindVirus1 | gletob: grub2 is a dummy package. | 06:22 |
| bucky | MindVirus1, i never issued a dist-upgrade on my system | 06:22 |
| gletob | MindVirus1, read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Grub2Testing | 06:22 |
| bucky | MindVirus1, i used update-manager -d which is better | 06:23 |
| MindVirus1 | gletob: I am, trust me. | 06:23 |
| MindVirus1 | bucky: if you had packages being held back then dist-upgrade would have fixed it. | 06:23 |
| MindVirus1 | dist-upgrade doesn't upgrade your distribution. | 06:23 |
| bucky | oh really | 06:23 |
| MindVirus1 | Aye. | 06:23 |
| gletob | On A side note how do you upgrade a server install when a new release comes out? | 06:24 |
| bucky | i know why it held mine back.. i used aptitude why and aptitude why-not | 06:24 |
| bucky | gletob update-manager -d | 06:25 |
| MindVirus1 | What does "elevator=noop" mean? | 06:25 |
| gletob | bucky, keyword: Server Meaning: No Gui | 06:26 |
| bucky | oh crap it's holding python-launchpadlib back | 06:26 |
| gletob | I really need to update though I'd really like to stop using alsamixer to control volume. | 06:27 |
| bucky | you guys have been using linux for six weeks and you already know everything.. why bother asking | 06:28 |

| MindVirus1 | bucky: it was supposed to be upgrade, not update. | 06:47 |
| Abdullah9 | i need help | 06:48 |
| Abdullah9 | with my wifi card | 06:48 |
| Abdullah9 | wifi adapter | 06:48 |
| bucky | acutally i installed update-manager-core and sudo do-release-upgrade | 06:48 |
| bucky | Abdullah9, is this on a new install or an upgrade? | 06:48 |
| Abdullah9 | look , i have a wifi adapter that use rt2870 driver , but when i plug it in the USB port , nothing happend | 06:50 |
| Abdullah9 | ! | 06:50 |
| bucky | Abdullah9, you need the rt2870 driver | 06:54 |
| bucky | i think it's in linux-restricted-modules-generic if you have the latest kernel if not you need linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` | 06:55 |
| bucky | and i'd install linux-restricted-modules-common too | 06:55 |
| bucky | then modinfo rt2870 to make sure you got it and sudo modprobe rt2870 | 06:56 |
| Abdullah9 | i am new in ubuntu | 06:56 |
| MindVirus1 | Abdullah9: you shouldn't have started with Karmic. | 06:57 |
| Abdullah9 | look to this site : | 06:57 |
| Abdullah9 | http://www.apfelkraut.org/2009/02/howto-wlan-ralink-rt2870-usb-stick-kubuntu-810/ | 06:57 |
| Abdullah9 | i am stuck in the 4th step | 06:57 |
| Abdullah9 | the thing that i coludn't understand is " sudo make " and " sudo make install " | 06:58 |
| bucky | Abdullah9, did you cd into the directory that was made when you untared the file? | 06:59 |
| Abdullah9 | no | 06:59 |
| bucky | Abdullah9, type pwd .. where are you? | 07:00 |
| Abdullah9 | ? | 07:00 |
| bucky | Abdullah9, what is the working directory you're in? | 07:00 |
| Abdullah9 | /home/user | 07:00 |
| bucky | type ls .. what's the name of the driver directory? | 07:01 |
| bucky | 2008_0925_RT2870_Linux_STA or something | 07:01 |
| Abdullah9 | /home/user/سطح المكتب/2007_1220_RT2870_Linux_STA_v1.2.1.0 | 07:01 |
| Abdullah9 | this is the directory : /home/user/سطح المكتب/2007_1220_RT2870_Linux_STA_v1.2.1.0 | 07:02 |
| bucky | good.. cd RT2870_Linux_STA_v1.2.1.0 | 07:02 |
| bucky | what does pwd say now? | 07:03 |
| Abdullah9 | /home/user/2007_1220_RT2870_Linux_STA_v1.2.1.0 | 07:04 |
| bucky | good now " sudo make " and " sudo make install " | 07:04 |
| bucky | Abdullah9, did you do step 3 ? Now the support of wpa_supplicant should be enabled in the file os/linux/config.mk of the driver package. | 07:05 |
| bucky | gedit os/linux/config.mk | 07:06 |
| bucky | HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y | 07:07 |
| Abdullah9 | yes | 07:07 |
| bucky | HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y | 07:07 |
| Abdullah9 | make: *** [LINUX] Error 2 | 07:07 |
| Abdullah9 | ? | 07:08 |
| bucky | Abdullah9, ah.. i just googled and you need a newer version of RT2870_Linux_STA_v1.2.1.0 | 07:09 |
| Abdullah9 | ok | 07:09 |
| bucky | Abdullah9, get the latest version | 07:09 |
| Abdullah9 | i will download | 07:10 |
| Abdullah9 | thanks | 07:10 |
| bucky | yup | 07:10 |
| Abdullah9 | any one ? | 07:19 |
| bucky | Abdullah9, you might have this driver already... modinfo rt2870sta | 07:21 |
| bucky | some people have better luck building one | 07:22 |

| mnemo | does "gnome-terminal --geometry=100x3" launch a very wide but think gnome-terminal for you guys in karmic??? it works well for me in jaunty but it gnome-terminal always comes up in 80x24 for me in karmic since last updates... | 10:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Using Kubuntu here. :() | 10:31 |
| Michalxo | mnemo, I see no difference :) | 10:31 |
| Michalxo | what should that geometry do? I have regular window.. not 100x 3 :-/ | 10:31 |
| mnemo | ok so maybe its a bug in karmic then | 10:32 |
| mnemo | "gnome-terminal --geometry=100x3" should create a terminal window which is 100 chars wide and 3 lines high | 10:32 |
| Dr_Willis | or somthing else is rembering the location/size/position of the terminal | 10:32 |
| mnemo | "xterm -geometry 100x3" still works | 10:33 |
| Michalxo | agree mnemo | 10:34 |
| mnemo | ok I will open a bug then | 10:34 |

| Michalxo | shappie, correct ;) | 10:46 |
| shappie | Normally its located in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 10:46 |
| shappie | Michalxo: Where can i find/edit it now? | 10:46 |
| Michalxo | well... it's kinda "harder" different now | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Going to have to read up on GRUB2 myself soon | 10:47 |
| Michalxo | searching for webpage for you | 10:47 |
| shappie | Ok | 10:47 |

| shappie | I like to remove some old kernels and edit waiting time... | 10:47 |
| Michalxo | you can edit files in /etc/grub/defaults/number_info or where it is | 10:48 |
| Michalxo | then you run update-grub(2) and the read only file is generated | 10:48 |

| shappie | why they didnt make this simple? | 10:51 |
| Dr_Willis | I find it simple. :P | 10:51 |
| shappie | Im reading that adding an entry you need to made a new document with a specific name :( | 10:51 |
| Dr_Willis | thats how the various X sessions also work.. and other things... | 10:51 |
| shappie | Dr_Willis: If i need to edit timeout + hiddenmenu + less kernels in the list | 10:52 |
| shappie | what to do? | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis | shappie: several of those settings are in the /etc/efault/grub file | 10:52 |
| Tatewaki | Dr_Willis, You should only edit /etc/default/grub now | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis | as for less kernels in the list.. if they are in /etc/grub youjust delete the file | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis | thats how i am reading the docs... | 10:53 |
| shappie | ok | 10:53 |
| Dr_Willis | I imagien you have to run 'update-grub' after changing the configs | 10:53 |
| shappie | But you are allowed to edit /etc/default/grub ? | 10:53 |
| apparle | has the ati open source driver been improved in karmic? | 10:53 |
| shappie | Coz the other configs are not to edit i read... | 10:53 |
| Michalxo | shappie, yes edit it;) | 10:53 |
| shappie | apparie: I wanna konw that to | 10:54 |
| shappie | ok ty :) | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | how else ya goitn to chagne it? :) | 10:54 |
| shappie | I dont know :D | 10:54 |
| Michalxo | you can all apart from the one autogenerated... | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | ' and then adjust the default setting via /etc/default/grub.' | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | it says in the README | 10:54 |
| shappie | I read in the top of the file to run: update-grub afterwards? | 10:55 |
| shappie | not update-grub2? | 10:55 |
| Michalxo | it's same | 10:56 |
| shappie | ok | 10:56 |
| Michalxo | worked both for me :) | 10:56 |
| shappie | If i uncomment hidden_timeout do i have to comment timeout? | 10:56 |
| Michalxo | dunno what is stub, | 10:56 |
| apparle | does anyone know whether ATI open source driver has undergone any change? | 10:56 |

| shappie | I have an ATi radeon HD3850 card which opensource driver is better to use? (radeon or radeonhd)? | 10:59 |
| mnemo | apparle: since jaunty the ATI open source driver got better power management, you can see the changelog for any package using "aptitude changelog PACKAGE_NAME" | 10:59 |
| shappie | mnemo: the radeon driver? | 10:59 |
| mnemo | yea | 10:59 |
| apparle | mnemo: but I don't know the package name for ati driver | 10:59 |
| mnemo | but the code for "HD" cards is not finished yet afaik | 11:00 |
| mnemo | apparle: find it using "apt-cache search SOME_WORD" | 11:00 |
| shappie | Ok | 11:00 |
| mnemo | apparle: in this case its "aptitude changelog xserver-xorg-video-radeon" | 11:01 |
| shappie | I dont use kubuntu for 3D things so i just need a fast stable 2D driver i guess | 11:01 |

| apparle | now getting to the problem............sometimes the desktop effects start and sometimes they donot...........why doesn this happen | 11:09 |
| shadeslayer | Michalxo: well the eject command works here | 11:10 |
| Michalxo | worked here too.. once... | 11:10 |
| Michalxo | or twice | 11:10 |
| mnemo | apparle: probably because compiz runs into some problem when its startup... you can see what the problem is by A) turning off desktop effects and then B) running "compiz --replace" from a terminal | 11:11 |
| shadeslayer | but... my touch sensitive button doesnt.... | 11:11 |
| Michalxo | eject -t does some things with cdrom (should be insert) | 11:11 |
| Michalxo | bu eject is stuck.. nothing at all | 11:11 |
| apparle | mnemo: I am using kubuntu and kwin.............but I used to get the same problem in ubuntu also.........even with the fglrx drivers earlier.........and also in windows vista | 11:13 |
| mnemo | apparle: ah, well I never used KDE but I think you can run "kwin --replace" from a terminal as well (or something similar) | 11:14 |
| mnemo | apparle: also check the bottom of "dmesg" if there is any ATI related errors there | 11:14 |
| shadeslayer | Michalxo: have you tried that command with sudo? | 11:14 |

| apparle | mnemo: ok | 11:15 |
| Michalxo | shadeslayer, yes | 11:15 |
| apparle | mnemo: Next time it doesn't start I will check dmesg | 11:15 |
| mnemo | apparle: and check /var/log/Xorg.0.log as well ... and if you file a bug do it using the terminal command "ubuntu-bug xorg" because that will automatically attach all those graphics drivers logs and stuff to the bug report | 11:15 |
| Michalxo | shadeslayer, I see it on reboot :( | 11:15 |
| shadeslayer | Michalxo: did it work? | 11:15 |
| apparle | mnemo: thanks | 11:15 |
| Michalxo | shadeslayer, nope :( but reboot should make it work.. always did so far | 11:16 |

| huwenfeng | mnemo: oh, good, i will try it, i am still using 8.04 now | 11:45 |
| mnemo | huwenfeng: 9.10 has _a lot_ better drivers for intel 4500 HD | 11:46 |
| mnemo | huwenfeng: if you just want something good and stable, use the 9.10 default driver | 11:47 |
| huwenfeng | mnemo: can i use that driver in my 8.04 system now??? ? | 11:47 |

| scizzo- | shadeslayer: you made a partial upgrade and the package was removed? | 12:59 |
| nocturn | Anyone like the new notification bubbles in the middle of the screen? | 13:22 |
| * shadeslayer uses KDE so i wouldnt know | 13:27 | |
| ikonia | nocturn: it's been commented on negativly a lot yesterdat | 13:29 |
| nocturn | ikonia: I can imagine, I got it with this morning's updates... | 13:30 |
| nocturn | Do you have any idea why they did this? | 13:30 |
| ikonia | apprantly it's an intentional update, from my point of view it's not a positive update, my suggestion would be to log a low priority bug for it, or a feature upgrade and get anyone who's not happy with it to post a comment on it so they can guage user experience | 13:31 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: theres already a bug on it..... | 13:31 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: ahhh excellent, can you point nocturn at it | 13:32 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: unfourtunately i dont know the bug number :P | 13:32 |
| nocturn | found it, but in the bug report it doesn't say why they did this | 13:32 |
| shadeslayer | ill have a look at the logs | 13:32 |
| ikonia | nocturn: it's supposed to be a better user experience | 13:32 |
| ikonia | nocturn: there was a post yesterday to the mailing list detailing this | 13:32 |
| Pretto | who could help with this?w http://paste.ubuntu.com/261295/ | 13:33 |
| nocturn | It's so horrible that I have a difficult time to imagine it was intentional, that's why I'm trying to find the reason :-) | 13:34 |
| ikonia | nocturn: you've almost excactly echo'd the statments made yesterday, most people seem to feel it a bug | 13:34 |
| nocturn | LOL | 13:35 |
| nocturn | So that means there's a good chance they'll revert it | 13:36 |
| ikonia | nope, it just means others have passed that same comment | 13:38 |
| vigo | Hello, is 10 in Alpha? | 13:51 |
| richardcavell | Anyone out there upset about the new placement of the notify-osd? | 13:53 |
| vigo | I have no idea what that is, yet, I was looking for a 10 Alpha torrent or whatever. | 13:54 |
| arand | richardcavell: not sure what to think really, but yea there was quite ariot here yesterday ;) | 13:54 |
| richardcavell | I submitted a bug report to launchpad | 13:54 |
| richardcavell | I didn't realise it was intentional | 13:54 |
| richardcavell | and people have been responding to it | 13:54 |
| richardcavell | I've uninstalled Karmic | 13:54 |
| richardcavell | I've had enough of the antics | 13:54 |
| arand | vigo: I'm not sure they do torrents for pre-releases.. | 13:54 |
| richardcavell | to do something like that and defend it against protests is not in the spirit of Linux | 13:55 |
| vigo | Thank you. | 13:55 |

| arvind_khadri | richardcavell, its been fixed | 13:55 |
| richardcavell | no it hasn't | 13:55 |
| arvind_khadri | richardcavell, it has been fixed... the corrected version was released today in the morning... | 13:56 |
| richardcavell | ok | 13:56 |
| richardcavell | well do you want to close my bug then? | 13:57 |
| richardcavell | bug 419894 | 13:57 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 419894 in notify-osd "notify-osd images appear at the middle right of screen" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/419894 | 13:57 |
| arvind_khadri | richardcavell, yes close it, as in it michalxo has given you a build and also someone else also... and again its been fixed in the upstream version also | 13:59 |
| richardcavell | arvind_khadri: can you confirm for certain that the upstream version is fixed? | 14:02 |
| richardcavell | I'm not running Karmic right now | 14:02 |
| richardcavell | so I can't check it | 14:02 |
| shadeslayer | whats the diff. b/w a daily build and a normal karmic install? | 14:03 |
| richardcavell | shadeslayer: the daily build is an up to date version | 14:04 |
| richardcavell | karmic alpha 4 will give you the most recent alpha release | 14:04 |
| shadeslayer | richardcavell: and the normal install isnt? | 14:04 |
| richardcavell | which is kind of stable | 14:04 |
| shadeslayer | oh... | 14:04 |
| richardcavell | The daily build may crash for all anyone knows | 14:04 |
| richardcavell | at least with alpha 4 it's a bit of a milestone | 14:05 |
| shadeslayer | but after a upgrade its like a daily build | 14:05 |
| richardcavell | yep | 14:05 |
| richardcavell | if you have already applied all updates, then you have the equivalent of a daily build | 14:05 |
| nocturn | The notify-osd thing has been fixed! | 14:12 |

| Machtin | http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/609/image029d.jpg <- any suggestions? :/ | 14:14 |
| Machtin | always happens after upgrading | 14:15 |
| Machtin | alpha 4 is okay.. a week ago or so something must have been released which broke it. | 14:15 |
| unksi | Machtin: that happened to me too after each shutdown, it got fixed by last kernel update tho | 14:19 |
| shadeslayer | Machtin: its fixed in the new kernel | 14:20 |
| Machtin | hm.. can't imagine. | 14:22 |
| Machtin | i just did that update half an hour ago or so | 14:22 |
| Machtin | via update-manager -d (on a machine where 9.04 was installed) | 14:23 |
| unksi | Machtin: the change comes in effect only after you boot the new kernel | 14:23 |
| Machtin | i did - it's 2.6.31-8 i think | 14:23 |
| shadeslayer | Machtin: and it still hangs? | 14:23 |
| Machtin | yup | 14:24 |
| Machtin | i never had 2.6.31-7 on that machine.. i just updated to 9.10 half an hour (let it be an hour) ago | 14:24 |
| shadeslayer | Machtin: file a bug | 14:25 |
| Machtin | hmmh | 14:26 |
| Machtin | i'll try to update this machine as well.. wondering whether it will work. | 14:26 |
| Machtin | (it's already alpha 4.. i had the same issue here..) | 14:26 |
| Neonexus | Im having serious issues with GRUB2 and uuid's, anyone able to help? | 14:27 |
| Machtin | what do you mean with serious issues? | 14:27 |
| Neonexus | wont boot! | 14:27 |
| Machtin | where does it hang? | 14:27 |
| Machtin | doesn't even start booting? | 14:28 |
| Neonexus | at GRUB | 14:29 |
| Neonexus | error no such device | 14:29 |
| Machtin | might grub be correct? | 14:29 |
| Machtin | i mean.. when you say uuid, you gave the partition name via /dev/disk/by-uuid/bla, no? | 14:29 |
| Neonexus | if I bring up the grub menu and edit the entry, deleting the following string I can get it to boot | 14:30 |
| Neonexus | search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 6c4ecf54-9eb6-47b2-928d-078f460a7ea6 | 14:30 |
| Neonexus | I checked in gparted, the uuid is correct | 14:31 |
| Machtin | hmm | 14:31 |
| Neonexus | however the command blkid, lists nothing! | 14:31 |
| Neonexus | I read somewhere that the problem maybe I dont have a /boot partition | 14:32 |
| Machtin | and ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid shows 6c4ecf54-9eb6-47b2-928d-078f460a7ea6 as the correct partition? | 14:33 |
| Neonexus | well that examle is one I took off the web, but it matchs the one in grub yes | 14:34 |
| Machtin | hm, strange.. no clue then. | 14:34 |
| Machtin | though that search-line is strange anyway. | 14:35 |
| Machtin | why don't you just edit menu.lst if it works that way? | 14:35 |
| Neonexus | how do i ommit is? | 14:35 |
| Neonexus | it | 14:35 |
| Neonexus | grub2 doesnt have menu.lst !! | 14:35 |
| Neonexus | if it did it would be easy! | 14:35 |
| Machtin | ah, sorry. | 14:35 |
| Neonexus | its got grub.cfg | 14:35 |
| Neonexus | but I cant edit it directly | 14:36 |
| shadeslayer | Neonexus: yep | 14:36 |
| Neonexus | if I could just get it to ommit the line beginning with search | 14:36 |
| shadeslayer | Neonexus: cant you edit out the word at the boot time? | 14:37 |
| Machtin | guess he can, but he can't save it. | 14:37 |
| shadeslayer | ah | 14:37 |
| Neonexus | yeah, but I wanna know whats up | 14:37 |
| Neonexus | the uuid is correct | 14:37 |
| shadeslayer | Neonexus: try #grub | 14:37 |
| Machtin | so.. i just updated.. will try to reboot now (i hope i don't have to reinstall alpha 4 then :( ) | 14:38 |
| Neonexus | watch out for the amazing boot images, they are mind blowing | 14:39 |

| BluesKaj | hi p42 | 15:08 |
| penguin42 | anyone had problems with external keyboards sometimes not getting reenabled after boot/hibernate on laptops? | 15:10 |
| NielsE | I'm developing something and I want to know if the package python-notify is installed as default in the latest ubuntu | 15:10 |
| * penguin42 isn't sure if there is a list of default packages | 15:11 | |
| natewiebe13 | so notify-osd has officially been fixed? | 15:16 |
| natewiebe13 | mac_v: have they reverted the centering change yet? | 15:16 |
| mac_v | natewiebe13: you sound like a kid , asking "Are we there yet?" .... ;) | 15:17 |
| mac_v | nope they havent | 15:17 |
| natewiebe13 | richardcavell said they did | 15:17 |
| NielsE | penguin42: any idea on how I can find out? maybe a list of packages that is on the cd? | 15:17 |
| natewiebe13 | on the bug report | 15:17 |
| mac_v | let me update and check again | 15:17 |
| penguin42 | NielsE: Find someone who has just done an install; or do an install yourself in a VM | 15:17 |
| penguin42 | NielsE: If you're lucky someone will appear on here having just done an install | 15:19 |
| Neonexus | my notify-osd is still centring | 15:20 |
| natewiebe13 | there was a new update.. | 15:23 |
| Neonexus | when | 15:24 |
| natewiebe13 | i just thought about it.. i had a modified version of notify-osd, so it probably just replaced with the version from the repos | 15:24 |
| natewiebe13 | i just changed xsplash to hopefully fix the throbber.. im going to go test it out.. | 15:26 |
| Neonexus | well? | 15:30 |
| natewiebe13 | xsplash is now smooth, but its still moving vertically | 15:30 |
| natewiebe13 | (the trobber isnt jumpy) | 15:30 |
| Neonexus | :-( | 15:31 |
| Neonexus | my firewall events started to work again | 15:32 |
| penguin42 | natewiebe13: You said it had the wrong number of frames in the code? What about the size of the image? | 15:36 |
| natewiebe13 | penguin42: i changed the frames.. so now it isnt jumpy, its a smooth transition.. as for the actual image.. i have no clue.. the image is 266x800 px | 15:37 |
| penguin42 | would be worth checking | 15:38 |
| penguin42 | screwing the height up could cause a vertical scroll | 15:38 |
| natewiebe13 | could | 15:39 |
| natewiebe13 | im not an expert on code though.. | 15:41 |
| penguin42 | what package is it in? | 15:41 |
| natewiebe13 | xsplash | 15:43 |
| natewiebe13 | src/xsplash.c | 15:44 |
| natewiebe13 | im going for a bit.. (30 mins) | 15:44 |
| penguin42 | looks at it and wonders why they've done it in such a weird way | 15:45 |
| penguin42 | what was wrong with using an animated image file? | 15:47 |
| NielsE | penguin42: with apt-rdepends you can also do reverse package dependency checking, I found out that ubuntuone-client (which is installed by default) depends on python-notify :-) | 15:48 |
| penguin42 | ah cool | 15:48 |

| djilks | shadeslayer, it is on. however, i kill -9 the mofo and restarted from the command line. Connected ... wait wait wait | 17:09 |
| djilks | shadeslayer, that's not the same applet | 17:09 |
| shadeslayer | djilks: which applet are you talking about? | 17:10 |
| djilks | shadeslayer, the KCM network management thingy was there. I killed THAT. you can't even right-click->quit that shit. Why's it start up after install? | 17:10 |
| djilks | shadeslayer, the nm-applet works fine. thanks for that. BUT wtf is up with it not starting up after install? | 17:11 |
| shadeslayer | djilks: just add a startup script.... | 17:11 |
| BluesKaj | !language | djilks | 17:12 |
| ubottu | djilks: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 17:12 |
| djilks | shadeslayer, where? and how do i prevent the KCM module from starting up? | 17:12 |
| shadeslayer | djilks: if you have the command to kill KCM i can help you with the start up script | 17:12 |
| djilks | shadeslayer, what would be calling up the KCM module? It was up when I ran from the USB stick, still there after startup, up until i killed it a min ago | 17:14 |
| shadeslayer | djilks: you killed it by clicking on the x at the top? | 17:15 |
| djilks | shadeslayer, no, kill -9 PID | 17:15 |
| djilks | shadeslayer, there's no X, no quit, no ACTION about that thing. Just listed networks and wouldn't do anything. | 17:16 |
| shadeslayer | djilks: that kills just KCM right.... | 17:16 |
| shadeslayer | djilks: go to K > system settings > advanced tab > autostart and add the commands to start nm-applet and kill KCM | 17:17 |
| djilks | shadeslayer, um, okee thinks i did it. much thanks. :-) | 17:21 |
| shadeslayer | djilks: no problems | 17:21 |
| djilks | BluesKaj, :-P | 17:22 |
| djilks | lame | 17:22 |
| natewiebe13 | agreed | 17:22 |
| natewiebe13 | but i can see his point | 17:22 |
| natewiebe13 | some people find language offencive, so the best way to please everyone is not to use it | 17:23 |
| BluesKaj | djilks, lame maybe, but those are the rules..i didn't make them and most agree to follow them | 17:23 |
| djilks | natewiebe13, or minding your own business. | 17:23 |
| natewiebe13 | djilks: just showing that i agree, but that i can see why he said it | 17:24 |
| BluesKaj | djilks, if you don't like the rules fine, but you have to agree to follow them , if not, then you can take you curse euphamisms elsewhere | 17:25 |
| shadeslayer | hmmm.... powerdevil isnt starting any ideas? i think its due to the dbus upgrades | 17:28 |

| cdE|Woozy | luis_lopez, what gdm version do you have? if xsplash is installed, it should be called from /etc/gdm/Init/Default and /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default | 18:15 |

| fixxxermet | Anyone using 9.10 with a Latitude D520? I'm trying to configure my xorg.conf file but don't know which driver to use. i915 and i810 do not seem to exist on my system | 19:00 |
| Lunis | I decided to upgrade to karmic. karmic has a bug that fails catastrophically concerning usb devices. my hard drive that i boot from is usb. there's no fixing this. i can get into single-user mode on an older kernel, so i can use dpkg, apt, etc. how can i force a sort of "dist-downgrade", so i don't have to reinstall completely? | 19:00 |
| penguin42 | Lunis: downgrading a distribution is normally a no-go | 19:03 |
| Lunis | penguin42: i know, but that doesn't mean that it _can't_ be done | 19:04 |
| penguin42 | fixxxermet: intel is the one you want if it's intel graphics; which one do you actually have - you shouldn't need to create an xorg.conf at all | 19:04 |
| penguin42 | Lunis: probably true; but I'm not sure it's going to be any easier than working around the USB disc issue | 19:04 |
| fixxxermet | penguin42: I am using 'intel' right now, after installing the xserver-xorg-video-intel package. | 19:04 |
| penguin42 | fixxxermet: Yep that should do it | 19:05 |
| fixxxermet | Hmm. OK. | 19:05 |
| fixxxermet | I guess I don't need to 'options i915 modeset=1' modprobe | 19:05 |
| penguin42 | no | 19:05 |
| fixxxermet | Why do you say that I shouldn't need to create an xorg.conf file? | 19:06 |
| Lunis | penguin42: i'd love to do that, but i can't figure any way to do it. the bug report seems to have been more or less abandoned, and there's no real fix | 19:07 |
| Lunis | penguin42: and there's not usually anyone around here with the time and knowledge to help me work through it | 19:08 |
| penguin42 | Lunis: Since I don't have experience of this bug the best I can suggest is a reinstall - I doubt a downgrade is the right thing to do | 19:09 |
| penguin42 | <food has landed - bbs> | 19:09 |
| Lunis | penguin42: i'd venture to say that a downgrade is never the right thing to do xD | 19:09 |

| shadeslayer | yofel: its usb-creator-kde | 19:41 |
| shadeslayer | i guess the problem lies in usb-creator-common | 19:42 |

| BUGabundo | rolling | 22:16 |

| shadeslayer | penguin42 its not an app...... its a widget | 22:21 |
| penguin42 | oh, when you mean widget you mean thingy that sits on the background as opposed to a widget that's used as part of an app? | 22:22 |
| shadeslayer | yep | 22:22 |

| penguin42 | there doesn't seem to have been one | 22:25 |

| BUGabundo | that can't run vpdau? | 22:27 |

| BUGabundo | ahh | 22:27 |
| BUGabundo | great | 22:27 |

| * penguin42 really should upgrade to GRUB2 so I can understand how it works | 23:28 | |

| BUGabundo | bcurtiswx: where's billybigrigger when we need him? | 23:29 |
| BUGabundo | :D | 23:29 |

| yofel | other than that see the wiki page | 23:29 |
| * bcurtiswx puts duct tape on BUGabundos fingers | 23:29 | |
| yofel | hi BUGabundo | 23:29 |
| * BUGabundo tears tape with teeth. | 23:30 | |
| BUGabundo | hey dude what's that for ? | 23:30 |
| bcurtiswx | im in a jeftful mood | 23:30 |
| bcurtiswx | in /etc/default/grub its set to 0 | 23:30 |
| bcurtiswx | how do I pick which kernel is set to default? | 23:31 |
| yofel | bcurtiswx: yup, that means the default is the first one in the list | 23:31 |
| yofel | set it to 'kernel_you_want_position_in_list - 1' | 23:32 |
| yofel | afaik grub2 doesn't know savedefault yet | 23:32 |

| BUGabundo | nope | 23:36 |

| stlsaint | see i have a nvidia also and its not working at all | 23:37 |
| stlsaint | i cant enable desktop effects nor can i use any proprietary drivers...granted its thru a vm | 23:38 |
| stlsaint | but vbox should just pull what my host is using right? | 23:38 |
| bcurtiswx | yofel: what you said is confusing.. idk what to do still | 23:38 |
| penguin42 | oh, a vm is unlikely to see the nvidia stuff | 23:38 |
| penguin42 | that's a whole different kettle of fish | 23:38 |
| stlsaint | im not understanding why tho...whats the hold up on it | 23:39 |
| genii | vm creates virtual hardware | 23:39 |
| penguin42 | stlsaint: vbox won't use nvidia drivers within the vm, I'm not sure vbox even does accelerated 3d, if it does that will be vbox specific drivers | 23:39 |
| stlsaint | so what driver is it using... | 23:39 |
| stlsaint | whoa...i feel slow...i knew that but was so mad about karmic that i did think about that... | 23:40 |
| BUGabundo | penguin42: newer vbox has 3D | 23:40 |
| stlsaint | virtual hardware... | 23:40 |
| penguin42 | BUGabundo: Oh cool | 23:40 |
| bcurtiswx | yofel: ohh i get it | 23:40 |
| bcurtiswx | that was a "minus 1" at the end | 23:40 |
| stlsaint | yea it does but i have to install additional guest which is not a prob...you think that will fix it | 23:40 |
| bcurtiswx | because its zerod | 23:40 |

| bcurtiswx | brb | 23:43 |
| BUGabundo | penguin42: full disk LVM ? | 23:43 |
| BUGabundo | boot from iso? | 23:43 |
| penguin42 | how does boot from iso work? | 23:43 |
| BUGabundo | no idea | 23:43 |
| BUGabundo | haven't tested yet | 23:43 |
| penguin42 | full disk lvm does sound vaguely useful | 23:44 |
| stlsaint | curious about lvm... | 23:44 |
| penguin42 | stlsaint: It's quite powerful but takes a bit of getting used to | 23:44 |
| BUGabundo | eheh | 23:44 |
| BUGabundo | a bit?? | 23:44 |
| BUGabundo | that's the understatement of the day | 23:45 |
| penguin42 | BUGabundo: Trust me, out of the various volume management systems I've seen on various OSs, lvm is not the worst | 23:45 |
| * Twigaathy uses straight partitions everywhere, and maybe raid on top of those. Didn't like the look of overcomplicating things and adding an extra level of potention failure with LVM... | 23:46 | |
| stlsaint | where can i get extensive read up on grub2 | 23:46 |
| penguin42 | yeh, it's overkill for most systems; I had to get used to it since it's RHELs default | 23:46 |
| penguin42 | stlsaint: http://grub.enbug.org/Manual | 23:46 |
| BUGabundo | Twigaathy: partitions are *evil* | 23:47 |
| Twigaathy | BUGabundo: you just use full disks? | 23:48 |
| BUGabundo | if I can | 23:48 |
| BUGabundo | swap on file is evean | 23:48 |
| BUGabundo | *if* it worked :) | 23:48 |
| Twigaathy | crikey | 23:48 |
| Twigaathy | no, I like partitions. Means I can do all kinds of neat tricks like having 1 disk part of 2 raid groups (2 partitions) c_c | 23:49 |
| stlsaint | thanks penguin42 | 23:49 |
| penguin42 | lvm can be nice in some cases; especially because you can resize partitions live | 23:49 |
| BUGabundo | penguin42: s/resize/grow/ | 23:50 |
| andresmujica | i cannot imagine a server without LVM.... | 23:50 |
| penguin42 | BUGabundo: True I guess - although I thought it let you shrink? Not that most filesystems let you do that | 23:51 |
| BUGabundo | right | 23:51 |
| bcurtiswx | yofel: bzzt doesn't work | 23:51 |
| BUGabundo | its a mess to shrink it | 23:51 |
| BUGabundo | unmount VG , redo table part, resize VL, reduce FS, check FS, mount | 23:52 |
| penguin42 | it's nice being able to grow VMs in some cases though | 23:52 |
| andresmujica | shrink: lvreduce, resize2fs, done. grow: lvresize, resize2fs, done. no need to mount/umount | 23:53 |
| penguin42 | andresmujica: resize2fs first | 23:54 |
| penguin42 | (to shrink) | 23:54 |
| andresmujica | right right... i don't shrink them a lot really.. | 23:56 |
| BUGabundo | eheehe | 23:57 |
| penguin42 | the real pain with lvm is rescue discing stuff - it's not as bad these days | 23:57 |
| bcurtiswx | BUGabundo: look at my most recent message | 23:57 |
| BUGabundo | would be nice to see the LVM shrink *before* the volume :) | 23:57 |
| bcurtiswx | bcurtiswx: yofel: bzzt doesn't work | 23:57 |
| BUGabundo | I m looking | 23:57 |
| bcurtiswx | i even pasted it :P | 23:58 |
| andresmujica | but with a /etc/lvm backup you can rescue your LVM most of the time.. | 23:58 |
| billybigrigger | afternoon all | 23:58 |
| yofel | bcurtiswx: was afk for a moment, sry | 23:58 |
| yofel | works here tough o.O | 23:58 |
| yofel | hi billybigrigger | 23:59 |
| penguin42 | andresmujica: Oh, I've never done that - I normally find with the commands it can find itself | 23:59 |
| billybigrigger | yofel, sup | 23:59 |
| bcurtiswx | i made it 7, because the one i wanted was 8th down | 23:59 |
| bcurtiswx | and it still highlighted the top | 23:59 |
| andresmujica | penguin42: the metadata is there, the trick is to assign the original uuid to the PV,VG,LV and you -almost always- are ready to go :) | 23:59 |
