[00:00] hello, does karmic have a better support for inter videocards? [00:00] *intel [00:02] Hi, anyone able to help me recover an ubuntu karmic server install [00:03] it crashed earlier today and when I rebooted it grub gave errors [00:04] Now I'm booting off a unetbootin ubuntu image and it's giving me BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [depmod:775] errors [00:08] ok, looks like it might have been a BIOS issue... [00:16] Which command access the GUI where I can config GDM? [00:27] Daekdroom: there is no such GUI [00:27] maxb: thanks [00:27] Just making sure I wasn't missing something. [00:28] Someone is supposed to be writing one IIRC, but I'm pretty sure it's not arrived yet [00:28] oh, actually [00:28] gdmsetup [00:29] but it looks REALLY basic so far [00:29] Yeah. I checked it. [00:29] Some versions ago it could configure almost anything. [00:30] Yes, but gdm got a total rewrite upstream === lucas_ is now known as Guest30760 [01:10] hello [01:10] I lost the "gnome-sound-properties" program, which should be in the "gnome-control-center" (apt-file told me so), but I can't retrieve it even with reinstalling gnome-control-center, any ideas ? [01:10] Ayla, you can get it back with sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [01:11] twright: I already tried that (with apt-get), the problem is still here [01:11] just a sec then [01:11] It's not my day xD [01:12] Ayla, you could try reinstalling gnome-audio [01:13] twright: reinstalling ? it was not installed [01:13] pulseaudio is now integrated into gnome so you can not just remove it [01:14] "it was not installed", I think that this was the problem [01:14] twright: no :( I installed it, and the program "gnome-sound-properties" is still missing [01:15] in that case you might be able to see if all of the recommends of the ubuntu-desktop package are installed via synaptic [01:17] twright: it seems so [01:18] in that case are libcanberra-pulse and all of the recommend of gnome-media installed? [01:19] libcanberra-pulse is not [01:20] then in that case it and pulse audio should be [01:22] you could try sudo aptitude install libcanberra-pulse pulseaudio pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-module-bluetooth pulseaudio-module-gconf pulseaudio-module-udev pulseaudio-module-x11 ubuntu-desktop [01:25] twright: same problem again and again :/ [01:25] Ayla, well it should not be too difficult from here [01:26] did the above command do any good? [01:26] everything was already installed, I tried reinstalling, but no chance [01:28] does anyone use quake 3 arena on ubuntu? [01:28] Ayla, Is sound preferences missing from both the panel and menus then [01:28] yes [01:28] sunshinepants, I do (or at least mods) [01:29] twright: I use the point release and sound doesn't work. Mouse is also not working [01:30] Ayla, very weird - it many have broken some packages in removing pulseaudio so you could try fix broken packages in recovery mode [01:30] twright: ok, I'll do that [01:30] sunshinepants, I don't think quake likes pulseaudio [01:31] Ayla, good luck :-) [01:31] thanks [01:31] now bed time @_@ [01:33] sunshinepants, are other similar games (i.e. openarena) working well === yoasif_ is now known as yoasif [01:33] twright: I thought pulseaudio's whole thing was transparency for alsa / oss apps. actually I have no other games, well doom3 and quake4, half life2. none work on linux natively afaik [01:34] sunshinepants, doom3 and quake4 should [01:34] anyway the sound on older games sometimes does not work well [01:45] twright: really? that is good news. so I guess you are straight alsa-only? [01:46] twright, actually I am using pulseaudio as I don't really have that much of a gaming system [01:46] although you can suspend it when playing [01:51] twright: are you talking to yourself? j/k [01:52] oops, it appears so [01:53] it appears everything with q3a is good except for that, hopefully the mouse thing is also easy to fix. It will be a while before I can test again [01:55] good [01:55] are you also on quake live? [01:57] sunshinepants, are you also on quake live? [01:58] twright: no, I installed it but it was just not as nice as playing native quake/quake3.. I'm logging this so leave your handle and I'll add you. I'm not even sure that I can add people I'm just assuming that exists [01:58] does anyone know which GNOME Karmic will be release, 2.28 or 2.28.1 [01:58] admiral_pain, see you sometime [01:59] Andre_Gondim, probably whatever fits the schedule [02:00] Twigathy, the gnome 2.28.1 will be release one week before the karmic release [02:00] Andre_Gondim, if you ask on the mailing list someone might be more likely to know [02:00] wow so the 2.6.31 kernel is released, and it appears to compile the latest fglrx drivers. [02:01] ok [02:01] I doubt they will go to 2.28.1 as it will be in rc then [02:01] they might add it later [02:01] odinsbane, but not for any older cards :-( [02:09] hi, whats the username and password that can be used when running the installer and jumping to a tty? [02:09] i'd like to check for some files in a partition and don't want to go back through the installer again if i don't have to [02:10] if you run sudo it won't ask [02:10] I think ubuntu is the username [02:10] Nattgew: i'm at a login [02:10] ctrl+alt+f2 [02:11] wondering if there is a default username password when running the installer [02:12] I think ubuntu is the username, no password [02:13] Nattgew: hah, i tried lots of generic words, but not leaving it blank [02:13] thanks!! [02:13] Well it fglrx installs now, but I still don't get compiz. Has anybody reported anyluck with ATI and karmic? [02:18] I had an older card work with karmic... I think with the radeon driver [02:33] I just upgraded from kubuntu jaunty to karmic [in order to try amarok 2.2 - I figured it was safe] and am experiencing extreme graphical corruption on most plasma elements. [02:35] kuaera, what graphics card are you using? [02:36] Nattgew: On that computer, ATI Mobility 7500, I believe [02:37] Nattgew: ...admittedly, glxgears performance is up 350%. [02:40] Nattgew: It's an M7 core; though the corruption is ONLY on plasma. I can view GTK/Qt applications just fine, and the wallpaper/cashew are okay. [02:48] Would this be some kind of Qt regression? [02:49] heh, not a good start so far, installed karmic alpha 5 nbr on an eee, and get fsck errors on the first boot [02:49] musikgoat: Och. [02:50] its saying last mount time is in the future, i fsck.ext4 /dev/sda1 and it fixes the problem, then reboot gives the same error [02:50] hmm [02:50] maybe the hwclock needs to be reset [02:53] musikgoat, did you try running just a simple fsck? [02:53] Rather than fsck.ext4? [02:54] malnilion: the error was because i only fsck'ed the one partition, not the other [02:54] i mis-read [02:55] i'm at the desktop now [02:55] thanks though [02:55] Glad you're up and running. [02:55] thnx [02:56] malnilion: Do you have any suggestions for me? :/ [02:57] That is a very strange issue kuaera and I have no idea lol [02:57] hmm, but the trackpad is not working :P [02:57] musikgoat: I got that sometimes with certain kernels. [03:00] ok, apt-get upgrading packages to give that a shot first === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [03:39] when I right click on a folder, it says Open Folder and then Browse Folder... they do the same thing... is that a new Gnome thing? [03:40] evidently that's only on the desktop... [03:40] Nattgew: by default, nautilus uses spatial mode, which is why there are two choices [03:40] ubuntu changes the default [03:41] I would expect that the browse option would go away if browse is the default, so that might be a bug [03:42] "if browse is the current default mode", I mean [03:42] is there a way to change that mode? [03:42] to spatial? [03:42] are the options browse and spatial? [03:43] preferences -> Behavior > always open in browser windows [03:43] yes [03:44] ok, thanks, that's interesting, I never noticed that [04:10] hi how i install esound in ubvuntu 9.10?

[05:06] no i uninstalled pulse and tryed to install esound [05:06] and got only then [05:07] sound i update [05:07] !beta [05:07] If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Karmic. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [05:08] o ok [05:15] Hello [05:15] I have two questions. [05:15] two issues, more or less [05:16] 1) Have the Nvidia drivers been fixed for the new kernel? [05:16] which drivers? [05:16] graphics drivers, speciffically 137 I think it is [05:16] we're on 185.xx.xx now :P [05:17] 185.18.36 works fine with the current Karmic kernel [05:17] it seems like 173.14.20 does, too [05:17] oh, ok. Thanks! [05:18] Alright #2 - When I try to download something from the internet, it takes a while to connect to the server [05:18] and my internet speeds are rather slow [05:19] But in karmic only, though. [05:20] unfortunately, that's much too vague to really diagnose [05:20] What are some possible issues that I can explore? [05:20] you'd need to describe the nic(s), the medium(-ia), the applications, etc. [05:22] Well I've noticed it in firefox, aurora, and konqueror. The wait is also seen in wget [05:23] what exactly do you mean by nic and medium? [05:23] I get more problems with my sound in karmic.. is this a known problem ? [05:26] oh, Network Interface Card. ha. I have an Intel Wireless 3945ABG card alog with a Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E [05:26] both interfaces have the same issue. [05:26] anywhere I can find the current version of a packages for current-stable and alpha ? [05:27] nevermind [05:27] http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu [05:39] 185.18.36 doesn't work well with new kernel yet. I still got error. [05:40] kern.log -> NVRM: CPU does not support the PAT, falling back to MTRRs. [05:46] dtchen: another handy thing, instead of alsamixer: gamix. [06:07] so empathy doesn't have irc support? [06:08] thats suprising that they would set it to be the default im client when it doesn [06:08] 't have irc support [06:11] musikgoat|eee: telepathy-idle [06:18] thank god i'm agnostic [06:34] crdlb: its good that there is something out there, is this planning on being inported to the ubuntu dist? if not, i just find it surprising that empathy was chosen to replace pidgin [06:35] presumably, it will be installed [06:51] musikgoat|eee: Empathy here seems to have the ability to add IRC accounts. [06:52] mneptok: irc is a protocol in your drop down for accounts? [06:56] mneptok: hmm, weird, irc wasnt in the list [06:56] maybe i'm wrong though [06:56] its in the list now [06:59] pays to look ;) [07:01] Does anybody else have trouble using gmail with evolution? [07:02] mneptok: yeah, must be bad eyes :P [07:03] !logs [07:03] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [07:03] !schedule [07:03] A schedule of Karmic Koala (9.10) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule [07:19] Does anybody know how to add AccelDFS to my video card without using xorg.conf? I've done something similar by creating a custom fdi for my wacom tablet, but I'm not sure how to do it for my video card? [07:28] Have a problem with my netbook. When I unplug my netbook and it goes to battery power it also puts my netbook to sleep. here is the output of dmesg when I do this. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/270150/ [07:39] okay, I tracked down my problem [07:40] when I pull A/C power off my netbook power managment registers it as a closed lid [07:43] flash video is now crashing all browsers on my desktop. opera, chromium, firefox, etc. [07:48] Where has archive mounter gone? [07:58] Does anyone here running Gnome see the Shiretoko icon instead of the Firefox icon for Firefox 3.5? [07:58] micahg: no [08:01] thanks robin0800 [08:21] !upgrade [08:21] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [08:54] hey malnilion [08:54] here goes nothign with an upgrade to karmic [08:54] if it still works with grub one i might take a chance on grub 2 [08:58] eagles0513875: I think grub 2 is default in karmic [08:59]
