Dai | how's intel doing currently under karmic? generally speaking, of course | 00:05 |
---|---|---|
crimsun | generally? just fine | 00:05 |
Dai | crimsun: awesome. time to upgrade! | 00:07 |
Nattgew | Dai, that's what I said, too... | 00:07 |
Dai | Nattgew: not a pleasant experience? | 00:09 |
Nattgew | Dai: not so much... but I ended up doing a fresh install and now it's not so bad | 00:09 |
Dai | i can do that too. this isn't a critical machine :) | 00:09 |
Nattgew | good... because mine is | 00:10 |
Dai | ouch | 00:10 |
lokad | some time ago i asked about grub 1.97beta2 not booting in my netbook. beta3 from debian-sid now does | 00:11 |
lokad | so i think this issue will be remedied with the next merging if debian changes | 00:12 |
lokad | s/if/of/ | 00:12 |

Twigathy | you sure it's not muted? | 00:14 |
TylerD | Yep | 00:15 |
Twigathy | what're you using to make noise? | 00:15 |
TylerD | I inserted a cd and opened it in totem and rhythmbox | 00:15 |
TylerD | neither worked | 00:16 |

gbs-wes | Im dead in the water because of a damn apt-get update... | 00:42 |
crimsun | gbs-wes: which Nvidia hardware, and which driver version? | 00:45 |
bjsnider | have the gnome rc packages gone in yet? | 00:47 |
gbs-wes | 190.32 driver... Geforce. Was working so perfectly until I did today's aptitude update. I usually update like 4 times a day with no issues like this | 00:47 |
bjsnider | gbs-wes, did you install the driver yourself? | 00:47 |
crimsun | err, Karmic doesn't ship 190.xx | 00:48 |
gbs-wes | Yeah? Not today... Now my filesystem is suddenly read-only WTF? In root! | 00:48 |
gbs-wes | The old | 00:48 |
TylerD | crimsun: was too big for pastebin, so it is now living at http://soswd.com/output.txt | 00:48 |
crimsun | TylerD: you're not current | 00:49 |
crimsun | TylerD: please upgrade && dist-upgrade | 00:49 |
TylerD | ok | 00:50 |
crimsun | e.g., your kernel is old; your pulseaudio is old | 00:50 |
TylerD | I will upgrade the stuff | 00:50 |
crimsun | TylerD: please use memoserv to leave me a note after you upgrade and reboot | 00:50 |
crimsun | i'm out for more studying, back later | 00:50 |
TylerD | ok, and where is that? | 00:50 |
crimsun | /msg memoserv help | 00:50 |
TylerD | ok, cool | 00:50 |
bjsnider | gbs-wes, i'm having trouble understanding your responses | 00:51 |
gbs-wes | Sorry one sec, on my iPhone | 00:52 |
bazooka2th | ok, this is gbs-wes | 00:52 |
bazooka2th | what did you not understand? | 00:52 |
bjsnider | ok, answer this. where did you get the 190 driver? did you install it yourself? | 00:53 |
bazooka2th | yes, i installed it myself. over a month ago at least | 00:54 |
bjsnider | from the nvidia install package? | 00:55 |
bazooka2th | and it's worked perfectly until today... yes, from the nvidia install package | 00:55 |
bazooka2th | i also put the karmic repos in my apt-sources list | 00:55 |
bazooka2th | and so it has updated there a few times | 00:55 |
bjsnider | alright run this: dkms status | 00:55 |
bazooka2th | k, lemme pastebin | 00:56 |
bazooka2th | http://pastebin.com/m13673a19 | 00:57 |
bjsnider | ok, so if your xorg.conf order x to use the nvidia driver you're fine | 00:58 |
bazooka2th | should be, but it shows the nvidia screen... then blanks... then shows it again.. then blanks... etc. | 00:59 |
bazooka2th | never loads my desktop | 00:59 |
Artemis3 | well its in the topic isn't? you should avoid updating at all when you have a stable system, at least until release :) | 00:59 |
bazooka2th | yeah, im already about to cry. | 01:00 |
bazooka2th | thanks | 01:00 |
Artemis3 | i guess there is always the hard way to find out ;) try swtching to nv in the meantime | 01:00 |
bazooka2th | nv? | 01:00 |
bjsnider | you can reinstall the driver fromt eh package | 01:00 |
Artemis3 | the open source variant, the one without 3d. | 01:01 |
bjsnider | there's a ppa with this driver in an ubuntu package | 01:01 |
Artemis3 | even better then, does it work perfect atm? | 01:02 |
bazooka2th | nah, i need 3D. or i can't run vbox for photoshop to do what i'm trying to do | 01:02 |
Artemis3 | try that ppa | 01:02 |
Artemis3 | but why would photoshop need 3d for? ah well | 01:03 |
bjsnider | photoshiop does not need 3d | 01:03 |
bjsnider | virtualbox does not need it | 01:03 |
bazooka2th | mine does, apparently. | 01:03 |
Artemis3 | weird | 01:03 |
bazooka2th | im using sun virtualbox | 01:03 |
bazooka2th | it won't even let me uncheck the 3d accel box | 01:04 |
Artemis3 | i suppose reinstalling the driver (recompiling modules) didn't help... | 01:05 |
bjsnider | i'm not sure there's really an nvidia driver problem. he said his fs was read-only | 01:06 |
Artemis3 | also uninstalling the driver and trying the old ones included in the distro? | 01:06 |
Artemis3 | ah... ok | 01:06 |
bazooka2th | my fs isnt read only anymore... | 01:06 |
bjsnider | this could be merely a symptom of a different problem | 01:06 |
bazooka2th | it was cause i did an fschk i think | 01:06 |
bazooka2th | that was before i got into my desktop, i was talking from the iphone | 01:06 |
bjsnider | alright try this | 01:07 |
bazooka2th | ok | 01:07 |
bjsnider | open up your /etc/apt/sources.list file. add this line: | 01:07 |
bjsnider | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu karmic main | 01:08 |
Artemis3 | im going to check that ppa too :) | 01:08 |
bjsnider | update and install nvidia-glx-190 | 01:08 |
bazooka2th | hmm.. when i go to Hardware Drivers, it shows 3 options (173, 185, and 190 recommended) | 01:08 |
bazooka2th | all say "this driver is not activated" except for 190.. it says "another version of this driver is in use" | 01:09 |
Artemis3 | wait, before that you might want to run the nvidia installer with the -uninstall option | 01:09 |
bjsnider | yes, that would be a good idea | 01:09 |
Artemis3 | ah , and ignore the hardware drivers thingie | 01:09 |
bazooka2th | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu karmic main | 01:10 |
bazooka2th | deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu karmic main | 01:10 |
bazooka2th | was in there already | 01:10 |
Artemis3 | dont forget the key :) | 01:10 |
bazooka2th | didn't | 01:10 |
Artemis3 | i must have like 20 ppas already in my sources.list :P | 01:11 |
bazooka2th | already at newest version | 01:12 |
bjsnider | reinstall nvidia-glx-190 | 01:14 |
bazooka2th | doing that now.. | 01:14 |
bazooka2th | did a apt-get remove and then apt-get autoremove | 01:14 |
bazooka2th | ok, its doing the initial module build | 01:15 |
bazooka2th | ok, now what? | 01:17 |
bjsnider | reboot | 01:17 |
bazooka2th | but my xorg isn't changed | 01:18 |
bazooka2th | is it? | 01:18 |
bjsnider | your xorg is probably fine. | 01:18 |
bazooka2th | lol, it doesn't exist | 01:19 |
bjsnider | ok, that's a problem | 01:19 |
bazooka2th | alright... wish me luck. | 01:20 |
gbs-wes | Same issue. | 01:21 |
gbs-wes | IMF | 01:21 |
gbs-wes | fml. | 01:22 |
Artemis3 | how about... remove those packages you just installed, get the one from nvidia page and install it? | 01:22 |
bjsnider | i'd like to know what specifically it's complaining about | 01:23 |
Artemis3 | check /var/log/Xblah | 01:23 |
Artemis3 | pastebin it | 01:24 |
kavurt | what should I do to be able to watch mms streams | 01:24 |
Artemis3 | open VLC? | 01:24 |
billybigrigger | anyone aware of how i can see if my dvdrw is DL capable? i went to go burn at DL disc and it failed roughly %46 go figure, gnome disk utility and lshw are of no help | 01:25 |
gbs-wes | I don't see | 01:25 |
Artemis3 | ouch, why not check unit model? | 01:25 |
gbs-wes | Any problems in that file... It ends with backtrace: | 01:26 |
gbs-wes | After initialiZing extension GLX | 01:26 |
Artemis3 | hahaha you call that "not any problems"? | 01:26 |
gbs-wes | Idk what that means | 01:27 |
Artemis3 | yah but paste it into the bin for fun watch | 01:27 |
gbs-wes | Ok let me get booted back into x somehow | 01:27 |
Artemis3 | aww | 01:28 |
gbs-wes | Woah | 01:28 |
Artemis3 | then it will move | 01:28 |
gbs-wes | I think | 01:28 |
gbs-wes | I fixed it | 01:28 |
Artemis3 | ok | 01:28 |
gbs-wes | Nope | 01:29 |
bazooka2th | back | 01:29 |
bazooka2th | http://pastebin.com/m53f56140 | 01:33 |
bazooka2th | there it is | 01:33 |
mjbrooks | odd... seems nvidia 185 got fudged in a recent update... I couldn't get to my desktop until I removed it | 01:33 |
mjbrooks | was getting libGL.so.185 segfaults | 01:34 |
bazooka2th | thats what i'm dealing with too, mjbrooks | 01:34 |
BluesKaj | mjbrooks, which card ? | 01:34 |
mjbrooks | GeoForce 7400 | 01:34 |
mjbrooks | bazooka2th, have you managed to get around it like I have? | 01:35 |
bazooka2th | yeah, by not having 3D | 01:35 |
BluesKaj | youguys are prolly using the glx-nv driver which is pretty barebones | 01:35 |
bazooka2th | not really acceptable workaround | 01:35 |
mjbrooks | bazooka2th, right | 01:35 |
BluesKaj | ok I have a fix that I found this morning ,btw my card is a geforce 7600gt , so the 7series cards will benefit from this new driver | 01:36 |
mjbrooks | There needs to be an apt-get command like apt-get --revert to undue the last update | 01:36 |
gbs-wes | What's the fix? | 01:37 |
mjbrooks | buy ATI? ;) | 01:37 |
tuxxy | heh you must be joking | 01:37 |
gbs-wes | This is fucking infuriating. | 01:38 |
mjbrooks | tuxxy, obviously... hence the wink ;) | 01:38 |
tuxxy | hehehe phew :D | 01:38 |
gbs-wes | I updated freaking bash and firefox. Now my system is useless. | 01:38 |
tuxxy | ati drivers are satans works | 01:38 |
mjbrooks | gbs-wes, dont' get me started on firefox getting fudged on the last update... ate my profile | 01:39 |
BluesKaj | go to nvidia.com and download this driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2.run | 01:39 |
BluesKaj | you have to remove the existibf river before installing the new one | 01:39 |
BluesKaj | err driver | 01:39 |
tuxxy | heh I usually switch over at lapha 5 but by the sounds of this I think it can wait a week or two =/ | 01:39 |
mjbrooks | tuxxy, Alpha5 was going swimmingly until this last update | 01:40 |
gbs-wes | Alpha 5 was perfectly fine until today | 01:40 |
BluesKaj | here's the fix http://www.pastebin.ca/1564825 | 01:40 |
tuxxy | I see, yes they are usually good by the alpha 5 | 01:40 |
bazooka2th | blues, please send that link again | 01:41 |
mjbrooks | BluesKaj, a shorter way of sayign that is "The workaround fox is to manually install the nvidia driver from their website" | 01:41 |
pitput | how will 9.10 be different from 9.04? | 01:42 |
BluesKaj | nope you DL driver then you close X and install the driver at the TTY prompt | 01:42 |
mjbrooks | sadly, I really hate manually installing nvidia | 01:42 |
BluesKaj | bazooka2th, http://www.pastebin.ca/1564825 | 01:43 |
mjbrooks | BluesKaj, uhhh... that's how you do a manual install of nvidia | 01:43 |
mostafa_ | is there anyone who knows how to add parted magic into the grub? | 01:43 |
mjbrooks | I think, before I do a manual install of nvidia.. I will try 173 | 01:44 |
mostafa_ | ie. run it from the hard drive | 01:44 |
BluesKaj | well, mjbrooks if that's your definition of a manual install I suppose it is , but you're not compiling so why the semantics ? | 01:44 |
mjbrooks | BluesKaj, I didn't say compiling... but downloading and running it from the web is manually installing it.. as opposed to getting it from the official repository | 01:45 |
* BluesKaj shrugs ... do what you want... | 01:46 | |
mjbrooks | Thanks for your permission | 01:46 |
BluesKaj | sit here and split hairs over what's a manual vs what automatic ? | 01:47 |
gbs-wes | Fun | 01:47 |
gbs-wes | Im doing ur workaround right now... | 01:47 |
BluesKaj | ok mjbrooks , can you share with us what you would do ?...maybe we can all benefit from your procedure. | 01:49 |
dereks_ | hey guys, did latest update break sound for anyone else? | 01:50 |
=== dereks_ is now known as dereks | ||
gbs-wes | The latest update breaks the fucking universe | 01:50 |
dereks | gbs-wes: really? | 01:50 |
gbs-wes | A Mozilla dev divided by zero apparently | 01:50 |
dereks | lol | 01:51 |
bjsnider | the 173 driver is not compatible with the .31 kernel. it will not compile with it | 01:52 |
gbs-wes | this day | 01:57 |
gbs-wes | Sucks. | 01:57 |
mjbrooks | gbs-wes, it isn't so bad | 01:58 |
sparr | When I leave my computer on overnight, the screen goes blank. Changing resolution (via xrandr, or a virtual terminal, or opening a game) or turning the monitor off/on causes it to appear for <1s, then it goes blank again. Rebooting resolves the problem. What could cause this? | 01:58 |
mjbrooks | gbs-wes, at least you aren't being forced into using windows | 01:58 |
gbs-wes | I might just switch. | 01:58 |
* mjbrooks loads shotgun | 01:58 | |
mjbrooks | sparr, powersaving | 01:59 |
bjsnider | gbs-wes, a production system should not have karmic on it right now | 01:59 |
sparr | mjbrooks: i'd hate to completely turn off powersaving to fix this, but i'll try | 01:59 |
gbs-wes | Fair enough. But this should not happen when u upgrade xulrunner either. Ever. | 02:00 |
mjbrooks | sparr, turn it off to see if it goes away... if it does then you know you've isolated the problem to it | 02:00 |
sparr | will take a few days to test | 02:00 |
bjsnider | you can have jaunty back in there in about 90 minutes | 02:00 |
gbs-wes | With everything in tact? | 02:01 |
bjsnider | all your documents | 02:01 |
gbs-wes | How | 02:01 |
bjsnider | install from cd without formatting drive | 02:02 |
bjsnider | use existing partitions | 02:02 |
gbs-wes | sigh... Don't wanna do that | 02:03 |
mjbrooks | more like 15-20 minutes | 02:03 |
gbs-wes | I'll just never use pre release again | 02:03 |
gbs-wes | Apt really does need a rollback option | 02:04 |
mjbrooks | gbs-wes, pre-release is for devs and really patient people... oh, and the insane | 02:04 |
gbs-wes | Im insane | 02:04 |
mjbrooks | bwahahaha | 02:04 |
gbs-wes | And switching to windows. | 02:04 |
bjsnider | it will be pretty godd by oct 7 or so | 02:04 |
mjbrooks | gbs-wes, good luck with that | 02:04 |
gbs-wes | Bawwwwwwww | 02:05 |
billybigrigger | bjsnider, i'd say it's good october 30th :P | 02:10 |
billybigrigger | 7th is tooooo early :P | 02:10 |
bjsnider | well that's certainly...your view | 02:11 |
billybigrigger | i've been fine with karmic since A1 :) been working great on my system, of course there were bugs along the way, but sheesh, nothing bad enough to deter me to..m$ :( | 02:12 |
mjbrooks | RE nvidia bug... users reporting downgrading libc6 and libc6-i686 to 2.10.1-0ubuntu9 corrects the issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/429003 | 02:22 |
ubottu | Launchpad bug 429003 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 "[karmic] Xorg (and anything GLX) crashes on startup" [High,Triaged] | 02:22 |
BluesKaj | my nvidia-nv driver worked but at a ver low rate , glxgears was ogiving only 98 fps full scrn whereas now it's 1800 fps full scrn. Google Earth was running in emulation mode so that toldme the driver was iffy . So I installed the proprietary driver from nvidia and all is well , for now. | 02:30 |
sparr | BluesKaj: "nvidia" and "nv" are two different drivers | 02:34 |
bjsnider | there's no glx extension with the nv driver | 02:35 |
bjsnider | nouveau actually works much better at this point in time | 02:35 |
nostahl | hi guys | 02:36 |
nostahl | how's everyone tonight | 02:36 |
BluesKaj | sparr, xserver-xorg-video-nv ..if you lok at the description it's :This driver for the X.Org X server (see xserver-xorg for a further description) provides support for NVIDIA Riva, TNT, GeForce, and Quadro cards. | 02:36 |
BluesKaj | are these not nvidia | 02:37 |
nostahl | anyone else running apache on karmic? | 02:37 |
BluesKaj | anyway , nite all ..tv time | 02:38 |
nostahl | wondering if your getting the same thing i am, some times when i click on a link it tries to just let me download the html or php file so i click cancel and then hit the same link again and it serves me the page correctly | 02:38 |
mostafa_ | is there anybody knows how to made a usb startup parted magic? | 02:43 |
mostafa_ | cwillu_at_work: is there anybody knows how to made a usb startup parted magic? | 02:44 |
bucky | same thing happened to me... latest update broke nvidia-glx had to fall back to nv | 02:47 |
nostahl | check out unetbootin mstafa | 02:48 |
nostahl | any of you guys running apache? | 02:49 |
billybigrigger | i run apache on my jaunty server | 02:51 |
billybigrigger | not karmic | 02:51 |
billybigrigger | your problem sounds like apache isn't configured properly and that it isn't parsing php correctly | 02:52 |
billybigrigger | check the server guide for more info | 02:52 |
nostahl | why would it parse perfectly fine one time and not others thouggh | 02:52 |
nostahl | im running a fresh tasksel install lamp-server | 02:53 |
bucky | clear your browser cache | 02:53 |
nostahl | tried on several browsers | 02:54 |

test34 | I get sound problem in karmic, but if I kill pulseaudio they are resolved, any idea why? | 03:13 |
billybigrigger | because it's pulseaudio | 03:15 |
billybigrigger | the sound stack is fragile | 03:15 |
test34 | why do they use it in ubuntu then ? because it makes programming easier? | 03:16 |
milos_ | test34: it should solve some a lot of problems with audio | 03:17 |
test34 | milos_, what doyou mean | 03:17 |
test34 | not using it should solve lots of problems ? | 03:17 |
billybigrigger | using it, should solve some audio issues | 03:17 |
test34 | ok | 03:18 |
mjbrooks | PulseAudio is works awesome for those who it works for ;) | 03:18 |
test34 | I wonder how many people have problems with it and how many doesnt | 03:19 |
mjbrooks | too many have issues with it for it to have the role it does right now | 03:20 |
test34 | it seem that my problems are worst in karmic, but I had some with the stable version too | 03:20 |
milos_ | test34: One of the goals of PulseAudio is to reroute all sound streams through it, including those from processes that attempt to directly access the hardware (like legacy OSS applications) | 03:20 |
test34 | mjbrooks, it had this role for years it seems | 03:20 |
test34 | milos_, it's probably a good idea behind it | 03:22 |
milos_ | test34: yeah, the idea is, it should solve audio problems | 03:23 |
=== yoasif_ is now known as yoasif | ||
test34 | milos_, just not stable enough | 03:23 |
milos_ | test34: pulseaudio is not stable enough for a loong time | 03:24 |
test34 | I guess I'll try to disable it completely and see how many problems I get | 03:25 |
* JanC has used pulseaudio since back when it was still named polypaudio | 03:25 | |
test34 | you must be happy with it then | 03:26 |
* milos_ has zero problems with audio now. Even skype 2.1 works nice! | 03:26 | |
test34 | skype 2.1 is out ? must be pretty new | 03:27 |
milos_ | test34: it's beta | 03:27 |
milos_ | test34: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/choose/ | 03:28 |
test34 | thanks milos | 03:28 |
test34 | I guess it's the default d/l from skype.com | 03:28 |
milos_ | when I download it few days before, it wasn't | 03:29 |
test34 | do you like it | 03:29 |
JanC | maybe the reason that I don't have a lot of issues with pulseaudio is that I use almost no crappy apps like skype ;) | 03:32 |
test34 | JanC, it is not skype causing the problems, it is some crappy game | 03:32 |
milos_ | test34: I didn't use it too much. Before, everytime I install it, I needed to tweak audio. Now it just works. | 03:32 |
webbb82 | i have a weird bug whenever i come back from hibernation the screen will freeze | 03:32 |
test34 | I guess with skype 2.1 for ubuntu it's doesnt work right without pulseaudio... | 03:34 |
bjsnider | pulseaudio is part of ubuntu | 03:36 |
bjsnider | so i'm not sure of the point | 03:36 |
webbb82 | im trying to run bug buddy but i get this error Either --appname or --package arguments are required. | 03:39 |
milos_ | webbb82: against what package you want to report bug? | 03:40 |
JanC | bug buddy? why not apport? | 03:40 |
webbb82 | i dunno where is apport | 03:40 |
webbb82 | i dont know what package it would be, its when i wake my computer from hibernatioin it will freeze | 03:41 |
JanC | apport is the default bug report tool in Ubuntu... | 03:41 |
webbb82 | Error stating file '/home/brian/apport-': No such file or director | 03:42 |
milos_ | then it's probably linux package | 03:43 |
bjsnider | webbb82, just search google for it | 03:43 |
webbb82 | i just ran synaptic and its installed but dont know where to find it or launch it | 03:43 |
bjsnider | or stp[ using hibernation | 03:43 |
JanC | 'ubuntu-bug' or 'apport-bug' from the commandline | 03:44 |
webbb82 | whats the web site i want to goto if i want to help testing karmic isnt it karmin testing team? | 03:52 |
test34 | milos_, with the new skype it only is able to use pulseaudio and I can't set which sound device it should be using.. is it possible to tell pulseaudio which device to use depending on which application is running ? | 04:12 |
webbb82 | whats the best way help karmic workout all the bugs | 04:18 |
ripps | webbb82: write patches to fix said bugs | 04:19 |
mjbrooks | ahhh... much better now that I downgraded libc6 and libc6-i686 | 04:19 |
IdleOne | webbb82: #ubuntu+1 for karmic issues | 04:21 |

mostafa_ | billybigrigger: I mean to change 4 command line into grub1.96 | 04:27 |
billybigrigger | mostafa_, what is your problem with grub2? | 04:27 |
billybigrigger | grub2 is a complete re-write so, it's kind of hard to put them into the same league :P | 04:27 |

billybigrigger | don't use ubottu all that much, but thanks for the tip :P | 04:30 |
bjsnider | thanks ubottu | 04:30 |
mostafa_ | billybigrigger: you mean I could change them by reading that | 04:31 |
mostafa_ | ? | 04:31 |
billybigrigger | mostafa_, you don't listen to well | 04:31 |
billybigrigger | forget grub legacy | 04:31 |
billybigrigger | read the wiki page | 04:31 |
billybigrigger | if you have a question after reading the wiki, i'd be more than glad to help | 04:31 |
mostafa_ | billybigrigger:K I wish I could solve that | 04:32 |
billybigrigger | it's fairly simple to add entries to grub 2 | 04:32 |
billybigrigger | it's all in the wiki | 04:32 |
mostafa_ | billybigrigger: I changed them but there is a problem there .for example I have "map --hook" and now changed into | 04:40 |
mostafa_ | billybigrigger: "drivemap --XXXX" what happend to hook then? | 04:41 |
kelvie | Anyone have suspend-to-ram broken in the latest karmic? | 04:41 |
mostafa_ | billybigrigger: R U there? | 04:41 |
billybigrigger | mostafa_, you shouldn't need drivemap, because it isn't a grub2 command | 04:42 |
billybigrigger | my bad | 04:43 |
billybigrigger | it is, map was replaced by drivemap | 04:43 |
mostafa_ | billybigrigger: np ;) | 04:43 |
mostafa_ | billybigrigger: what does my bad means actually? | 04:44 |
billybigrigger | you need to specify a device | 04:44 |
mostafa_ | billybigrigger: asking or sth else? | 04:45 |
billybigrigger | sth? | 04:45 |
mostafa_ | sht=something | 04:45 |
mostafa_ | sth=something | 04:45 |
billybigrigger | you need to specify a device, ie devicemap hd0,1 hd1,0 | 04:45 |
billybigrigger | devicemap hd0 hd1 | 04:46 |
mostafa_ | hd0,1 | 04:46 |
billybigrigger | *HINT* | 04:46 |
billybigrigger | loopback loop (hd0,7)/sidux.iso | 04:46 |
billybigrigger | linux (loop)/boot/vmlinuz boot=fll quiet vga=791 fromiso=/sidux.iso | 04:46 |
billybigrigger | initrd (loop)/boot/miniroot.gz | 04:46 |
billybigrigger | boot | 04:46 |
billybigrigger | google is your friend, google "grub2 boot from iso" | 04:46 |
billybigrigger | usually the first hit works fairly well...so there you go :) | 04:47 |
billybigrigger | i'm off to bed | 04:47 |

stout | I suffer odd problems under Alpha 5. | 04:58 |
stout | Alpha 4 worked fine, and 9.04 works fine | 04:58 |
stout | but under Alpha 5 with the new 185 nvidia drivers, it boots, I get teh splash screen, then it blinks off and I get a regular old skool console login screen, then it blanks again and then I get another old skool console login screen again | 04:59 |
stout | does that 3 times and then it just stays blank | 04:59 |
stout | Xorg.0.log tells me that malloc() thinks ram is corrupted | 04:59 |
stout | I might believe it except I just reinstalled 9.04 and behold, I'm running X again. | 05:00 |
bjsnider | stout, the nvidia drivers were broken by a recent update to an unrelated package | 05:00 |
stout | Ah, awesome, so you already know about this then | 05:00 |
stout | My job is done :) | 05:00 |
bjsnider | no, your job is just beginning | 05:01 |
stout | D'oh! | 05:01 |
stout | Alright, so when should I be trying Alpha 5 again? | 05:01 |
stout | (when is the package going to be fixed?) | 05:01 |
bjsnider | hop up and down on one leg while holding your nose | 05:01 |
* stout hops up and down on his left leg while holding his nose with his right hand | 05:02 | |
bjsnider | that didn't fix the problem, but i wanted to see if you'd do it | 05:02 |
stout | :) | 05:02 |
bjsnider | i'd recommend trying karmic again on roughly october 30 | 05:02 |
stout | This Quassel client is kind of neat, never used it before | 05:02 |
stout | holy cow, Oct30? | 05:03 |
bjsnider | yes, october 30 | 05:03 |
stout | I have another question, related to audio | 05:03 |
stout | This has been the case for me ever since the nvidia 183 drivers have come out... | 05:03 |
bjsnider | there are no 183 drivers | 05:03 |
stout | Not anymore there aren't | 05:04 |
bjsnider | there never were | 05:04 |
stout | and if I had known all knowledge oftheir existance would be wiped from the web I would have taken some screen shots | 05:04 |
stout | But I used them for a few months | 05:04 |
stout | regardless though, here is an issue I've had for about a year | 05:04 |
bjsnider | the nvidia driver has nothing to do with audio | 05:04 |
stout | it does on the 8200 chipset | 05:05 |
bjsnider | you mean hdmi audio? | 05:05 |
* stout nods | 05:05 | |
bjsnider | my understanding is that works fine | 05:05 |
bjsnider | but i don't use it. it isn't being sold except on board with the 9300 chip | 05:06 |
mostafa_ | billybigrigger: r u there? | 05:06 |
mostafa_ | billybigrigger: just one question | 05:06 |
stout | I don't get any audio out of ubuntu until I run around adding myself to pulse-rt and pulse-access groups, sacrificing chickens, and configuring all kindso f jazz under pulseaudio | 05:09 |
* StevenMyers loves his 9.04 | 05:10 | |
StevenMyers | I'll wait until the 29th of next month to upgrade to the candidate of Karmic | 05:11 |
bjsnider | stout, the groups isue was removed in pulse 9.16 | 05:11 |
stout_ | I don't get any audio out of ubuntu until I run around adding myself to pulse-rt and pulse-access groups, sacrificing chickens, and configuring all kindso f jazz under pulseaudio | 05:12 |
stout_ | I don't get any audio out of ubuntu until I run around adding myself to pulse-rt and pulse-access groups, sacrificing chickens, and configuring all kindso f jazz under pulseaudio | 05:12 |
stout_ | What's the possibility we could at least get the group additions whacked out of the way? | 05:12 |
stout_ | I'm currently learning C and I'm willing to write a utility eventualy to handle the chicken sacrifices, but group additions would be a handy start | 05:12 |
stout_ | compiling Bx for this thing might increase in priority here shortly too | 05:13 |
ShapeShifter499 | I have a acer aspire one with karmic alpha 5 on it and I can't use the built in web cam, how do I make the cam work? | 05:13 |
bjsnider | stout, i just told you that in karmic it is out of the way | 05:16 |
stout_ | I must have missed that due to my ping timeout | 05:16 |
stout_ | unless you mean the part where you said it supposedly works fine | 05:17 |
ShapeShifter499 | well? | 05:17 |

floating1 | what was the proper way to deal with the case when it suggests a partial upgrade | 09:38 |
duffydack | whats with the latest daily-live images. they dont boot | 09:38 |
duffydack | floating1, go with it | 09:40 |
floating1 | okey. i remember someone before saying that one should do something else. tried to google a bit but.. i have usually done the partial upgrades | 09:42 |
duffydack | floating1, if its such a big update that it needs to do partial, then just go with it | 09:46 |
floating1 | ok | 09:48 |
floating1 | it's bee almost 3 weeks since i opened this system. I chose "close" when it suggested partial upgrade. then it showed the list where some of the items were tagged and some not, so i thought that it had chosen the items there that would be updated in partial upgrade, so i pressed 'install updates' .. after installing i got some errors, tried to press ctrl+c on the details window, but it just asked whether i want to terminate that prog, so i couldnt copy | 09:51 |
floating1 | there were some 3-4 updates listed in the errors | 09:51 |
floating1 | now it is trying to retrieve available software updates but it is not loading... or it has tried to load those updates for few minutes now | 09:51 |
floating1 | well, i could leave the package manager, it is showing the "package manager is working" icon,i'll let it work for a while then | 09:54 |
yofel | floating1: instead of doing a partial update with update-manager you should rather run 'sudo aptitude safe-upgrade' in a terminal. | 09:59 |
yofel | update manager has a tendency to do rather stupid things on partial updates | 10:00 |
floating1 | things got bad now | 10:00 |
floating1 | i did apt-get update on terminal, and then i got message that i should reboot to finish updates | 10:00 |
floating1 | i have xubuntu version, trying to click the topright icon to choose the shut down/reboot didnt work | 10:01 |
floating1 | opening a terminal didnt work | 10:01 |
yofel | does Ctrl+Alt+F2 still work? | 10:01 |
floating1 | i did ctrl-alt-f1 and logged in and did sudo reboot... now when it restarts, it goes to that ctrl-alt-f1 screen... if i go ctrl-alt-f8, it gives some ACPI [ok] window there.. as if the booting x is half-way ? i donno | 10:02 |
floating1 | ctrl-alt-f2 looks same as f1 screen but im not logged, it does work | 10:02 |
floating1 | sorry apm_level OFF [ok] | 10:02 |
floating1 | at f8 | 10:02 |
yofel | and on f7? | 10:03 |
floating1 | that dont work | 10:03 |
floating1 | nothign happens | 10:03 |
yofel | ok... no X | 10:03 |
floating1 | should i try that safe-upgrade from the tty1 ? | 10:03 |
floating1 | oops | 10:04 |
yofel | what happens if you restart gdm? (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart) | 10:04 |
floating1 | i have no internet there | 10:04 |
floating1 | is that xdm for xubuntu ? | 10:04 |
mvo | yofel: if you have specific examples where it acts stupid, that would be appreciated, some things here got fixed this cycle | 10:04 |
yofel | mvo: ok, haven't used it for quite a while, will try it again :) | 10:04 |
Ian_Corne | ubuntu usb startupdisk creator requires fat on the stick :( | 10:05 |
floating1 | no xdm, it was gdm, it said stopping gnome services ok, starting gnome services ok | 10:05 |
floating1 | stopping gnome display manager * | 10:05 |
floating1 | nothing else after those 2 lines, f7 dont do anything, f8 same as before | 10:06 |
mvo | thanks yofel - its (probably) still not perfect :/ | 10:06 |
floating1 | can i connect it to internet and do safe-upgrade, or what should i try | 10:07 |
floating1 | at tty1 it is not connected | 10:07 |
yofel | floating1: can you check at the end of /var/log/Xorg.0.log why X doesn't start? look for [EE] or segfault | 10:09 |
floating1 | only 1 EE, failed to load module "i810" (module does not exists,0) no string 'seg' at the file | 10:12 |
floating1 | donoz how to check what line, but not near end that EE | 10:13 |
floating1 | cant locate by scrolling | 10:13 |
yofel | hm, that sounds like you have a intel graphics card and it can't find the driver o.O | 10:13 |
floating1 | it loads the vesa after that error and unloading of that | 10:15 |
floating1 | later it loads submodule fg, and unloads vesa.. i dont know if it is relevant or anything | 10:16 |
floating1 | fb even | 10:16 |
floating1 | yeah it7s dell with integrated intel | 10:18 |
yofel | floating1: can you make sure the driver is there? (modinfo i810) | 10:20 |
floating1 | yeah it is | 10:21 |

AlanBell | I am getting lots of apache segfaults on Karmic. It could be my setup though. Anyone else seen this? | 10:27 |
floating1 | the update wanted to update grub and some services to be run, i left them to defaults.. if that matters. I set the timeout in grub back to something else than 0, and tried to reboot different kernels but that didnt work :x | 10:28 |
floating1 | i guess i could have excluded that test :) | 10:28 |
yofel | floating1: you said there were updates in the upgrade, can you check what went wrong in /var/log/apt/term.log ? | 10:29 |
floating1 | in tty1 it says kinit: trying to resume from tty7, kinit: no resume image doing normal boot... some render errors before that | 10:30 |
yofel | and can you get wired internet connection maybe? | 10:30 |
floating1 | it is on wired connection, but i dont understand why tty1 is not online | 10:30 |
floating1 | should i try connect it with something.. ifup or how was it | 10:31 |

yofel | and do you have a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf? | 10:37 |
floating1 | "unable to initialize gnome, is libgnome2-perl installed ?" | 10:37 |
floating1 | there is just text "generated by network manager" | 10:38 |
floating1 | nope, ifconfig just gives "lo" | 10:39 |
floating1 | 127.0.0.1 with details | 10:40 |
yofel | lo, should always be there, but not the only one o.O | 10:42 |
yofel | does dmesg give you anything useful regarding network (and can you pastebin the term.log from your other pc somehow?) | 10:44 |
floating1 | feels like i kind of predicted problems cus i came here to ask about the partial upgrade without any real concerns | 10:44 |
arand | If "lo" is alone there, sound like drivers for network thingy is not properly present/configured | 10:45 |
floating1 | im gonna eat now, i can later try debug this problem more with you or other ppl a bit, but i can just do a clean new install too, so I don]t know how much i want to try get to the bottom of this | 10:47 |
floating1 | at quick glance, cant see much at dmesg but i report more on that l8r | 10:47 |
yofel | floating1: maybe first try booting with an older kernel | 10:47 |
floating1 | i tried that, but same thing, 4 different kernels... i think this partial upgrade added 1 or even 2 new kernels there..i thought i had 2 there, but now there is 4 | 10:48 |
floating1 | its been aroudn 3 weeks before i started this system so | 10:48 |
floating1 | but -> | 10:48 |
floating1 | oh yeah and thanks for help so far, i have to go out for a while too. in 2h or so i get back to it i think | 10:50 |
yofel | well, good luck then, I won't be there, maybe the others know more | 10:50 |

judgen | where is it located nowdays? | 12:24 |
judgen | aaah the default pinninf file is just missing by default... i created one and now im set. | 12:29 |
daemonk1 | Hi all, I am having a problem with my Nvidia restricted drivers, since yesterday X will only boot with the standard module, with the rerstricted module I get the nvidia splash screen and then a blank screen and then the nvidia splash screen and this loops. I have tried the previous kernel and the same problem exists. Anyone else experiencing this? | 12:32 |
Dr_Willis | Not seen it yet daemonk1 I just upgraded however. | 12:36 |
Dr_Willis | Will proberly reboot in a few and check. | 12:36 |
Timothe | Hi peops,I've got a problem with 9.10 | 13:05 |
Timothe | Since I pressed Restart system (after I installed all packages n stuff) it didn't start up anymore | 13:05 |
Timothe | only thing I see is the startup loading bar | 13:05 |
Timothe | and then a NVIDIA Banner | 13:05 |
indus | hi | 13:05 |
Timothe | and then nothing but a blinking _ | 13:05 |
Timothe | hi indus | 13:05 |
Dr_Willis | Hmm.. Nvidia is working here. I just update/upgraded/rebooted | 13:06 |
TheInfinity | Timothe: look @ xorg log | 13:06 |
Dr_Willis | 8800gtsxxx video card | 13:06 |
Timothe | TheInfinity, where can I see that log?:) | 13:06 |
indus | Timothe: how exactly did u upgrade? | 13:06 |
Timothe | well | 13:06 |
Timothe | I was on 9.04 | 13:06 |
TheInfinity | you try an alpha and you dont know how to watch logs? huh. | 13:06 |
Timothe | :p | 13:06 |
indus | Timothe: cat /var/log/Xorg.log | 13:06 |
Timothe | I must admit I am stupid :d | 13:06 |
indus | Timothe: me too | 13:06 |
indus | Timothe: easy way is from system>administration>system log viewer | 13:07 |
plagerism | Anyone know if you can still have multiple Server stanzas in gdm? The gdm.conf seems to have been removed. custom.conf is still there | 13:07 |
Timothe | I'm starting up pc now | 13:07 |
Timothe | at that it says: No such file or directory | 13:10 |
Dr_Willis | gdm configs are totally confused to me now. They got some xml config file. that dosent have all the comments of the old config. | 13:10 |

nemo | Dr_Willis: my nvidia broke yesterday as well | 13:13 |
Timothe | TheInfinity, so is it 'fixable'? | 13:14 |
nemo | I'm using nv at the moment, haven't gotten around to fixing my screen resolutions, which were not really detected correctly by conf | 13:14 |
nemo | well, my nvidia probably broke before yesterday, maybe whenever 185.36 was released, but I didn't reboot 'till yesterday afternoon | 13:15 |
nemo | BTW, kind of annoying I can't revert to 185.31 or anything else in -180 - they all seem to have vanished. | 13:15 |
TheInfinity | Timothe: just wait until fix is released | 13:16 |
judgen | Dr_Willis, as they are rewriting gdm for hardy it might not be fully featured yet. | 13:16 |
judgen | Dr_Willis, I solved the problem by installing gdm from jaunty and pinning it.. | 13:16 |
indus | rewriring formeanmic u | 13:16 |
Timothe | so I can basically not use my PC until a fix is released?:P | 13:16 |
nemo | Timothe: use nv | 13:16 |
indus | rewriting for karmic u mean | 13:16 |
judgen | Timothe, use the nv driver instead of nvidia's | 13:16 |
Timothe | okay | 13:17 |
Timothe | sudo apt-get install nv ? | 13:17 |
judgen | indus, indeed | 13:17 |
nemo | Timothe: no | 13:17 |
judgen | indus, so many names nowdays | 13:17 |
nemo | oh. that reminds me | 13:17 |
indus | yeah | 13:17 |
indus | when is alpha 6 btw | 13:17 |
nemo | what's driving me bonkers is sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg exits without doing anything | 13:17 |
Pici | !schedule | 13:17 |
ubottu | A schedule of Karmic Koala (9.10) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule | 13:17 |
indus | beta is 24th hooray? | 13:17 |
nemo | my speculation is maaaaybe it does that to avoid conflicting with the nvidia xorg config tool | 13:18 |
duffydack | just installed alpha5, booted fine, ran an upgrade, it updated a ton of stuff including kernel, and asked me what to do about grub config, I said install package maintainers version, rebooted and getting invalid pointer and wont boot | 13:18 |
nemo | so I ended up using one of my old xorg.confs to avoid having to recreate it by hand | 13:18 |
indus | Pici: i know that link, someone post it here easier :) | 13:18 |
nemo | that's the main reason my screen resolutions are wrong | 13:18 |
judgen | duffydack, OUCH i just did exactly that, but i havent rebooted yet. | 13:18 |
nemo | if there's a way to force dpkg-reconfigure to do what I want, that'd be lovely | 13:18 |
nemo | would make waiting for the nvidia fix more pleasant | 13:18 |
indus | whats wrogn with nvidia? | 13:19 |
nemo | indus: it broke recently | 13:19 |
duffydack | its triple booting with xp (sda1) 9.04 (sda3) and 9.10 (sda7) xp boots, but neither of the ubuntus boot | 13:19 |
nemo | indus: xorg log just shows the word "Backtrace:" on last line, with no further detail | 13:19 |
indus | nemo: yikes when, ] | 13:19 |
nemo | indus: well, I noticed it when I rebooted yesterday | 13:19 |
indus | nemo: it was working ok yesterday for me | 13:19 |
nemo | I'm guessing with release of 185.36 | 13:19 |
nemo | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE] (rev a1) | 13:20 |
indus | nemo: hihihihih cool ill upgrade and reboot | 13:20 |
duffydack | any solution? | 13:20 |
indus | nemo: no no thats old now i already have it | 13:20 |
nemo | that's why I'm griping about 185.31 being pulled | 13:20 |
nemo | indus: well. I suspect it is card specific - that's how these things usually work | 13:20 |
indus | nemo: what card | 13:20 |
nemo | someone does some minimal testing on one or two cards, then push it out to the rest of us :) | 13:20 |
nemo | indus: I just pasted my card. | 13:20 |
nemo | as for Timothe ... | 13:21 |
nemo | Timothe: what card? | 13:21 |
indus | nemo: sorry ill check | 13:21 |
nemo | btw. that "minimal testing" I blame on nvidia, not ubuntu :-p | 13:21 |
nemo | sometimes I wonder if they even have a linux test lab | 13:21 |
Timothe | Well, I just put in my 9.04 cd | 13:22 |
nemo | oh. and I tried every recent .31 and .28 kernel with the -173 and -180 drivers | 13:22 |
indus | nemo: hmm i think its not nvidia's fault since they have most users windows | 13:22 |
Timothe | and I will installl that1 for now | 13:22 |
indus | nemo: i couldnt see the paste | 13:22 |
nemo | indus: dude. they are a major manufacturer. test labs are not expensive | 13:22 |
indus | nemo: too tiring | 13:22 |
nemo | 08:20 < nemo> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE] (rev a1) | 13:22 |
nemo | 08:20 < indus> nemo: hihihihih cool ill upgrade and reboot | 13:22 |
* nemo smacks indus | 13:22 | |
indus | nemo: well, their drivers are stable but you using alpha ubuntu kernel changes | 13:23 |
nemo | indus: as I said, I tried it in every recent .28 and .31 | 13:23 |
indus | nemo: nvidia need to keep up with ubuntu during alpha | 13:23 |
nemo | no change | 13:23 |
nemo | it isn't ubuntu's fault | 13:23 |
indus | nemo: ya filed a bug? | 13:23 |
nemo | nope. | 13:23 |
indus | nemo: they will forward it to nvidia | 13:23 |
Timothe | well I believe I have a 8600 GT card nemo :D | 13:23 |
nemo | main reason, spent most of yesterday getting to an actual, oh, desktop | 13:23 |
indus | nemo: i have 7600 gt works super | 13:24 |
nemo | so filing a bug was... problematic | 13:24 |
nemo | indus: "works super" is not really helpful :-p | 13:24 |
nemo | obviously it works for some people | 13:24 |
indus | nemo: with 180.36 | 13:24 |
nemo | or we wouldn'tve gotten it pushed out, and the old version removed | 13:24 |
indus | nemo: also, i didnt see issues on the forums | 13:24 |
indus | nemo: not many anyways | 13:24 |
nemo | indus: there are a few forum threads springing up | 13:24 |
nemo | yeah. is happening gradually | 13:24 |
indus | nemo: hmm probably some issue with LE cards | 13:25 |
nemo | BTW, I also tried regenerating my xorg | 13:25 |
nemo | indus: no. Timothe has an 8600 GT | 13:25 |
indus | nemo: was an update yesterday? | 13:25 |
nemo | you're not much into reading are you :-p more of a "responding" person ;) | 13:25 |
indus | nemo: i think i might have missed this | 13:25 |
nemo | indus: well. recently. | 13:25 |
nemo | I hadn't rebooted for a few days, so was likely using older driver | 13:25 |
nemo | I infer it was the .36 since that was most recent release | 13:25 |
duffydack | I`m lost.. any ideas on how to fix my boot? | 13:26 |
indus | anywyas gtg, always difficult to troubleshoot nvidia/ati unless a fix arrives | 13:26 |
indus | kinda like flash | 13:26 |
indus | or until more consensus on the forums | 13:26 |
nemo | duffydack: you using ext3 or ext4? | 13:26 |
indus | bye | 13:26 |
duffydack | nemo, ext4 | 13:26 |
nemo | duffydack: you might want to upgrade to grub2 | 13:27 |
nemo | duffydack: although the patches for grub1 *should* be ok unless "something went wrong" | 13:27 |
duffydack | nemo, fresh install of alpha5, upgraded. | 13:27 |
nemo | you're on grub2? | 13:27 |
nemo | pretty sure grub2 isn't default yet | 13:27 |
duffydack | nemo, installed ok, and booted. upgdated packages (kernel updates too) and cant boot | 13:28 |
Timothe | nemo, I'm not sure, but I think in the CD install from 9.10 grub2 is default. | 13:28 |
duffydack | nemo, I dont know what grub it is.. whatever it installs | 13:28 |
Timothe | I read it today | 13:28 |
Timothe | sec I'll look into it | 13:28 |
nemo | mm. I doon't think so | 13:28 |
nemo | from my reboots yesterday, my home computer was still on grub1 | 13:28 |
nemo | my laptop is on grub2 but that's 'cause I deliberately updated it | 13:29 |
duffydack | nemo, xp boots, but both 9.04/9.10 dont | 13:29 |
nemo | duffydack: you said that already | 13:29 |
Timothe | http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha5 | 13:29 |
duffydack | invalid pointer #4000 (or something similar) | 13:29 |
Timothe | ext4 by default | 13:29 |
Timothe | GRUB2 by default | 13:29 |
nemo | Existing systems will not be upgraded to GRUB 2 at this time, as automatically reinstalling the boot loader is an inherently risky operation. | 13:30 |
Timothe | yes that is true | 13:30 |
duffydack | luckily I have a clonezilla backup of my whole system.. | 13:30 |
nemo | duffydack: was this a fresh install or an upgrade of jaunty? | 13:30 |
duffydack | fresh.... with 6gb free space i made | 13:30 |
duffydack | I have jaunty installed also | 13:30 |
nemo | ok. | 13:30 |
nemo | so that means you had grub1 | 13:30 |
duffydack | dual booted with xp at the time. | 13:30 |
nemo | and it was NOT fresh :-p | 13:30 |
nemo | duffydack: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Grub2Testing | 13:30 |
Timothe | I'm not installing 8.10 without formatting the hdd | 13:31 |
nemo | duffydack: do that | 13:31 |
Timothe | and I'm importing my 9.10 account | 13:31 |
Timothe | I'm curious about what will happen | 13:31 |
nemo | ... installing 8.10? | 13:31 |
nemo | importing 9.10? | 13:31 |
* nemo shrugs | 13:31 | |
Timothe | The virtual kernel image has been built without virtio drivers, so installing using the "minimal virtual" option from the Ubuntu Server Alpha 5 will result in an unusable system after reboot. This problem also affects users of the linux-image-virtual kernel package who have installed from earlier alphas. Users are advised to wait until Alpha 6 before installing or upgrading. (423426) | 13:32 |
Timothe | well yes nemo | 13:33 |
Timothe | :p | 13:33 |
nemo | ... why would you ask about installing 8.10 in #ubuntu+1 ? | 13:33 |
Timothe | nemo, I put in some old 8.10 cd (need to get a new one lol), and I pressed at: don't format, and then it said: another system was found on the hdd, would you like to import your account settings from that 1 | 13:33 |
Timothe | I was liek: OK! :D | 13:34 |
nemo | Timothe: as for your 9.10 account, most likely your gnome settings will be completely screwed up | 13:34 |
Timothe | so I'm wondering whether it will work yes or no | 13:34 |
nemo | the gconf format has changed | 13:34 |
nemo | as long as you don't care about your theming or similar prefs... | 13:34 |
Timothe | Well I don't care :D | 13:34 |
Timothe | I've got my backup at another hdd | 13:34 |
nemo | what do you care about then? | 13:35 |
nemo | (in your $HOME | 13:35 |
nemo | ) | 13:35 |
Timothe | About a working linux :D | 13:35 |
Timothe | well | 13:35 |
Timothe | I installed linux yesterday agaiun | 13:35 |
nemo | Timothe: dude. are you just doing this due to the nvidia driver foulup? | 13:35 |
Timothe | after screwing up some things | 13:35 |
Dr_Willis | 'theres no place like $HOME' | 13:35 |
nemo | Timothe: as we said. just use nv | 13:35 |
Timothe | well, as I am as experienced as a guy using linux for one week | 13:36 |
Timothe | I was liek: ok don't go alpha | 13:36 |
Timothe | keep 9.04 | 13:36 |
Timothe | :D | 13:36 |
nemo | you're using linux for one week and you're on karmic, and have an 8.10 CD... | 13:36 |
nemo | 'k. | 13:36 |
Timothe | no | 13:36 |
Timothe | I'm using it for about half a year | 13:36 |
Timothe | but well, I still don't really know much about linux :P | 13:36 |
Timothe | command line -> I just know a few commands :( | 13:37 |

Timothe | mm nice | 13:39 |
Timothe | thanks | 13:39 |
nemo | dunno. I'm more of a learn-by-doing kinda person. and depends on your goals really | 13:39 |
nemo | you wanting to learn sysadmin? routing/networking? development? | 13:40 |
nemo | aaanyway. | 13:40 |
nemo | none of this is getting me any closer to a working nvidia ;) | 13:40 |
Timothe | haha | 13:40 |
Timothe | I am not getting you closer to a working nvidia | 13:40 |
Timothe | :P | 13:40 |
nemo | Sooo. I'm not at home right now, but it has been fairly well behaved in the dozen or so reboots yesterday | 13:40 |
nemo | so I'm fine with some remote debugging | 13:41 |
nemo | could someone here tell me how to get to older, deprecated, versions of the driver in the -180 line? | 13:41 |
nemo | specifically 185.31 | 13:41 |
nemo | I'd like to try installing that, rebooting, and seeing if GDM still crashes | 13:41 |
nemo | that'd be directed at Dr_Willis I guess :-p | 13:42 |
nemo | given no one else seems to be awake | 13:42 |
Celtiore | hi | 13:43 |
Celtiore | nemo, you need to install envyng-gtk and you can choose the last 3 drivers for nvidia | 13:43 |

Timothe | I can't help ya xD | 13:46 |
plagerism | nemo: I had that problem this weekend as well, not sure if someone said this, but if you downgrade libc to the version before it also fixes libgl provided by nvidia drivers | 13:47 |
plagerism | libc6_2.10.1-0ubuntu9_*.deb | 13:48 |
plagerism | and libc6-i686 and libc6-dev | 13:48 |
plagerism | It worked for me on two systems | 13:48 |
jtholmes | is it just me or have others had problems getting kubuntu/ubuntu live cd's to boot and run? | 13:49 |
nemo | plagerism: thanks. appreciated. | 13:49 |
Timothe | I think it's just you jtholmes | 13:49 |
nemo | Timothe: heard that? | 13:49 |
Timothe | I heard that | 13:49 |
Timothe | but I actually got my system up onw | 13:49 |
Timothe | from just before the upgrade to 9.10 | 13:50 |
Timothe | :P | 13:50 |
nemo | plagerism: mm. I'm a bit more familiar w/ gentoo I'm afraid - how do you force a version from apt-get since I don't have access to synaptic ? | 13:50 |
jtholmes | tried two diff burners and 3 diff machines and all give login prompt just after starting squashfs both 9/12 and 9/13 live cd's | 13:51 |
nemo | jtholmes: sooo anything in the Xorg.0.log? :) | 13:51 |
plagerism | nemo if you upgraded lately, go to /var/cache/apt/archive and you should find the files in there | 13:51 |
plagerism | then just do a dpkg -i on the files | 13:51 |
nemo | oh. good idea | 13:51 |
plagerism | and then you can just lock the version for a bit in synaptic | 13:52 |
jtholmes | nemo since it dumps to login just after starting squashfs i dont know where it would write the x.org.log file | 13:52 |
nemo | jtholmes: ... you mean it didn't even setup the filesystem? I was assuming error on starting X | 13:53 |
jtholmes | nemo no this is early on in casper just after it accesses squashfs never get to do the install or boot the rest of the live cd | 13:54 |
nemo | plagerism: sweet. that did it. awesomeness | 13:55 |
nemo | thanks man | 13:55 |
nemo | so it *was* due to nvidia having issues keeping pace w/ upgrades :) | 13:55 |
Timothe | nemo, now your on desktop?:D | 13:55 |
nemo | switching kernels would do jack all | 13:55 |
nemo | Timothe: well, I would be, theoretically, if I was at the computer | 13:56 |
nemo | but the logs are all normal | 13:56 |
nemo | and I was on my desktop before, is just that now I'm on my desktop w/ GL acceleration and proper resolution :) | 13:56 |

nostahl | is there a way to enable commands like /j #ubuntu+1 with empathy? | 13:58 |
nostahl | couldnt find anything on their site | 13:58 |
nemo | plagerism: WRT locking version, I think I'm going to skip that since I've had bad habit of forgetting to remove those in the past :) | 13:58 |
nemo | plagerism: I'll just be careful to refuse libc upgrades. for some reason, I find that easier to remember... | 13:59 |
plagerism | nemo, yea thats what I do as well | 13:59 |
plagerism | Or just keep a copy of the good files around | 13:59 |
plagerism | Cause at some point its gonna be fixed | 13:59 |
nemo | oh. right. | 14:01 |
* nemo copies the ubuntu9 ones to /root | 14:01 | |
nemo | don't want those to vanish in some archive cleanup | 14:02 |

nemo | Timothe: a lot of people who drop by Hedgewars IRC problem are having sound issues | 14:06 |
nemo | well. some have graphics | 14:06 |
nemo | but a lot of it is due to pulseaudio | 14:06 |
nemo | nostahl: well. there are a couple of issues WRT no sound whatsoever, but my personal issues are basically more-of-the-same | 14:07 |
BluesKaj | update is blocked with this : he following packages have unmet dependencies: libgamin0: Conflicts: libfam0 but 2.7.0-16ubuntu1 is to be installed. Conflicts: libfam0c102 but it is not installable. Is this a known bug ? | 14:07 |
duffydack | gave up on it..restored my system pre-karmic. | 14:07 |
nostahl | so far my only issue with karmic is the apache config | 14:07 |
nemo | nostahl: Wesnoth sucking up 100% of CPU or completely blowing up pulseaudio if I tab to another window. Ditto Hedgewars. Both use SDL audio, but I tested in .12 of hedgewars which switched to openal. Sound still locked up | 14:07 |
nostahl | some times it just dl's the php file instead of serving it | 14:08 |
Timothe | ok. | 14:08 |
nemo | nostahl: additionally, the new sound mixer is abysmal. I have only one input, and one output - the output is completely wrong | 14:08 |
nemo | can't control volume anymore except physically, or using alsamixer | 14:08 |
nemo | nostahl: in alsamixer I've determined it is bouncing output between a few minor channels. none of which are master | 14:08 |
duffydack | nemo, +1 I hate the new sound too.. utterly useless | 14:08 |
nostahl | i like the db function in the new mixer atleast | 14:08 |
nemo | and none of which appear linked to the actual volume control | 14:08 |
nemo | in addition, the volume control, which *does* control the master, is doing it wrong | 14:09 |
nemo | if I adjust it down, it adjusts down too much, ditto up | 14:09 |
nemo | the values in alsamixer confirm it | 14:09 |
nemo | result, soon I can't go up all the way anymore since UI appears to have lost track or something | 14:09 |
nostahl | i have an eee pc 901 that im running karmic on currently | 14:10 |
nemo | anyway. basically they took something that worked, and broke it. | 14:10 |
nemo | and then kept breaking it | 14:10 |
nostahl | it seems to be very well supported | 14:10 |
nemo | more and more | 14:10 |
nemo | nostahl: heck. the only reason I have an option in hedgewars to disable sound without initialising SDL/openal is to support Ubuntu users using pulseaudio default | 14:10 |
nemo | poor bastards | 14:10 |
nostahl | karmic is the first release that bluetooth audio works flawlessly for me | 14:12 |
nemo | nostahl: yeah, yeah. I know that was one of the arguments for pulseaudio | 14:12 |
nemo | bully for you :-p | 14:12 |
nostahl | the stock app paired it up , auto shuts audio off to save power on my headset when not being used | 14:12 |
nemo | but in order to support bluetooth and some usb, they appear to have set as default something that screws the rest of us | 14:12 |
duffydack | what I dont get with my boot problem is that it booted fine, till I updated the kernel.. was it not using grub2 before it? | 14:12 |
nemo | they should have enabled pulseaudio on install if bluetooth audio was detected | 14:12 |
nemo | and maybe after prompting user. failing prompt, offer simply way to disable it | 14:13 |
nemo | s/simple way/ | 14:13 |
nemo | er. broken split, but anyway. yeah. nice idea, but totally not ready for prime time | 14:13 |
=== Sikon is now known as LucidFox | ||
nostahl | nemo do you run a localhost webserver at all? | 14:13 |
nemo | nostahl: not the ubuntu machine I'm referring to, but, yes. why? | 14:14 |
nostahl | on a fresh karmic install i did tasksel install lamp-server | 14:14 |
nostahl | to set everything up | 14:14 |
nostahl | worked great but something in the config is a little weird | 14:14 |
nostahl | some times when i click a link it wants to just dl the php file | 14:15 |
nemo | nostahl: most likely those directories aren't set to execute php | 14:15 |
nostahl | then i click cancel on the dl and hit the link again and it'll serve up the file normally | 14:15 |
nemo | oh? | 14:15 |
nemo | huh... | 14:15 |
duffydack | clear your cache | 14:15 |
duffydack | and refresh | 14:15 |
nemo | nostahl: when you say dl the php file - you mean the source, right? not the output? | 14:15 |
nostahl | ya a brain twister heh what could cause it to work one time and not the other | 14:15 |
nostahl | ya the source | 14:15 |
nostahl | already cleared cache | 14:15 |
nostahl | tried other browsers | 14:15 |
nostahl | etc | 14:16 |
nemo | heh. obviously can't be browser if it is showing you the source | 14:16 |
nemo | that would be massive flaw :-p | 14:16 |
nostahl | someone said it could be a mime issue | 14:16 |
nemo | naw | 14:16 |
nemo | nostahl: that person is confused by the d/l thing. | 14:16 |
nemo | if it was downloading output that could be mime or other header | 14:16 |
BluesKaj | duffydack, did you do. sudo update-grub | 14:16 |
nemo | but downloading source, webserver is not running the php | 14:16 |
nemo | nostahl: anything in error log? | 14:16 |
BluesKaj | !grub2 | 14:16 |
ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 14:16 |
duffydack | BluesKaj, no, apt-get upgrade | 14:17 |
nostahl | let me check | 14:17 |
duffydack | BluesKaj, well it updated grub with the kernel update, but broke booting | 14:17 |
nemo | BluesKaj: I linked him to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Grub2Testing - bad choice? | 14:17 |
nemo | nostahl: BTW, I'd really recommend the apache channel at this point | 14:18 |
nemo | I doubt this is ubuntu's fault. | 14:18 |
duffydack | nostahl, clearing cache btw is a fix for a similar problem as you are having btw.. if it wasnt working at all I might check the mod is enabled | 14:18 |
nostahl | aye i just hate it when fresh installs are not configured to run out of the box heh | 14:19 |
BluesKaj | duffydack, yes but after installing grub2 you need go thru a series of commands to configure it...read the tutorial https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 14:19 |
nemo | nostahl: well. once you figure out the problem you'll be able to file a better bug :) | 14:19 |
nostahl | aye | 14:19 |
duffydack | BluesKaj, was it not using it after the install of alpha 5? | 14:19 |
nostahl | but who ever uploaded these configs to the server... it was doing this for them too right? :P | 14:20 |
nemo | nostahl: WRT clearing cache, that's just tedious in testing IMO - just use wget -O- :) | 14:20 |
BluesKaj | duffydack, not if you upgraded from jaunt | 14:20 |
BluesKaj | err jaunty | 14:20 |
duffydack | BluesKaj, i have jaunty installed yes, but not upgraded from it. | 14:20 |
duffydack | BluesKaj, cant boot jaunty or karmic after the update. | 14:21 |
nostahl | ah bunch of segmentation faults (11) in error log | 14:21 |
BluesKaj | duffydack, read and do the commands in the tutorial and you'll fix grub | 14:22 |
nemo | nostahl: lol. that could definitely explain it ;) | 14:22 |

duffydack | Ive restored my system since. do you think I should install grub2 in jaunty before installing karmic to a seperate partition? | 14:27 |
duffydack | so I wont need to fix it later? | 14:27 |
nemo | duffydack: no idea, but personally I had issues identical to yours that were resolved by grub2 upgrade. | 14:28 |
jtholmes | is karmic alpha 4 avail anywhere? | 14:28 |
nemo | http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha4 ? | 14:28 |

jtholmes | nemo alpha 5 wont work 4 me | 14:28 |
nemo | jtholmes: some of those mirrors still work. | 14:29 |
nemo | grab them while they do ;) | 14:29 |
jtholmes | nemo i will check | 14:29 |
nemo | jtholmes: BTW, why not just use jaunty + update-manager -d ? | 14:29 |
nemo | trying to save bandwidth? | 14:30 |
jtholmes | nemo good idea did not think of that one thx | 14:30 |
jtholmes | nemo can do should work thx | 14:31 |
BluesKaj | uhm isn't just one grub required for one drive and all it's partiions | 14:31 |
nemo | BluesKaj: yes :) | 14:31 |
nemo | welll. | 14:31 |
nemo | not really, but you darn well shood | 14:31 |
nemo | should even | 14:31 |
BluesKaj | then why 2 grubs duffydack? | 14:31 |
nemo | BluesKaj: you could theoretically install a boot loader on every partition of every drive :D :D | 14:31 |
nemo | as well as the MBR | 14:31 |
BluesKaj | that's redundancy without purpose. nemo :) | 14:32 |
BluesKaj | anyway , breakfast..bbl | 14:32 |
=== dereks_ is now known as dereks | ||
nostahl | nemo ty so far no dl's | 14:33 |
duffydack | I mean install grub2 and have it chainload and make sure it works.. then hopefully it wont go bang when I install karmic and upgrade kernel and have it break again | 14:34 |
nemo | duffydack: don't see the point TBH | 14:34 |
nemo | if it breaks, you can always just revert to grub2 | 14:34 |
nemo | er | 14:34 |
nemo | grub1 | 14:34 |
duffydack | ok so Ive got this prompt: The following Linux command line was extracted from the `kopt' parameter in GRUB Legacy's menu.lst. Please verify that it is correct, and modify it if necessary. (its empty) | 14:34 |
nemo | duffydack: seems to just make your layout more fragile | 14:34 |
nemo | duffydack: if it messes it up, you can always fix it by hand | 14:36 |
nemo | duffydack: doing a quick search of launchpad, seems you're not the only one, unfortunately | 14:37 |

duffydack | installed grub2, seemed to go ok, lets test it | 14:40 |
duffydack | meh, error 11 : unrecognised string | 14:46 |

nemo | ... the one off of the HD of course | 14:50 |
duffydack | grub.conf or grub.cfg | 14:52 |
duffydack | this isnt a karmic install anymore, I just wanted to test grub2 installed onto jaunty... | 14:52 |
duffydack | and its not working | 14:52 |
nemo | I was using grub2 on jaunty too | 14:53 |

nemo | ah | 15:00 |
nemo | there you are | 15:00 |
duffydack | so, its booting to jaunty now | 15:00 |
duffydack | grub2 is installed | 15:01 |
drs305 | duffydack: Is this an automated grub.cfg or did you edit it. | 15:01 |
duffydack | well, 1.96 | 15:01 |
duffydack | auto | 15:01 |
nemo | duffydack: I have this memory of commenting out the search line, or modifying it in some way | 15:01 |
nemo | duffydack: one weirdness is your root and search commands aren't per-menu option like they are in mine | 15:01 |
nemo | I assume that's not a problem | 15:01 |
duffydack | nemo, im a n00b when it comes to grub (yeah no sht!) so I dont know | 15:02 |
nemo | mm. | 15:02 |
nemo | UUID thing | 15:02 |
nemo | supposedly | 15:02 |
nostahl | hey anyone know of top of head if they make an adapter from the slim express card slot to the full size express card slot? | 15:03 |
duffydack | my xp partition isnt listed anynmore tho | 15:03 |
nostahl | i got a couple tv tuner cards i want to use in my new netbook but the netbook only has the smaller express card slot ugg | 15:03 |
nemo | no. wait. you don't have the uuid command | 15:03 |
BluesKaj | duffydack, the edits for grub2 are supposed to be done in /etc/default/grub since the boot/grub/menulst no longer exists in grub2 | 15:04 |
nemo | duffydack: adding back XP is pretty easy | 15:04 |
BluesKaj | err /boot/grub/menu.lst | 15:04 |
nemo | BluesKaj: he's looking at grub.cfg | 15:04 |
nemo | duffydack: want my grub.cfg ? | 15:05 |
nemo | duffydack: you could perhaps just change the UUIDs | 15:05 |
duffydack | http://pastebin.com/d19f5f9cb thats what its using now | 15:05 |
nemo | and maybe the partition numbers | 15:05 |
duffydack | i dont have a problem booting anymore.. | 15:05 |
nemo | duffydack: BTW, I think grub2 changed partition numbering | 15:05 |
nemo | ok. | 15:05 |
duffydack | I followed that grub2 from livecd giude | 15:05 |
duffydack | basically just installed grub2 to mbr | 15:06 |
duffydack | which I dont think it did before | 15:06 |
nemo | ah. | 15:06 |
duffydack | well anyway, my xp install is missing from the boot list now, and its a different boot menu, so I know now its using grub2 | 15:06 |
duffydack | maybe when I install karmic it wont break | 15:07 |
nemo | duffydack: http://m8y.org/tmp/grub.cfg - if you want mine. | 15:08 |
nemo | has an XP entry | 15:08 |
duffydack | thats a lot of kernels lol | 15:10 |
duffydack | gonna test my xp boot | 15:12 |
duffydack | unknown command "chainloader" | 15:16 |
duffydack | i copied yours and changed the uuid to mine. | 15:16 |
duffydack | should have worked. | 15:16 |
BluesKaj | duffydack, one thing to remember, after every change/edit run grub-update | 15:18 |
duffydack | ugh | 15:18 |
duffydack | :) | 15:18 |
BluesKaj | i mean every edit session | 15:19 |
dfgas_ | ok, I installed grub2 had to change from root to uuid now if i do upgrade from legacy will that automatically change root to uuid or do I have to change the menu.lst? | 15:19 |
BluesKaj | dfgas_, the menu.list is replced by /etc/default/grub | 15:22 |
drs305 | In Grub 2 the default is to use uuid's. You have to uncomment it in /etc/default/grub to prevent uuids There will be set root=(hd0,1) etc but the partitions will be identified with uuids by default. | 15:22 |
drs305 | Here are some links on Grub 2 if you are interested: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 15:23 |
BluesKaj | drs305, does this mean if I change the fstab entry for my windows partition , I won't have mount it manually as root every session ? | 15:24 |
drs305 | BluesKaj: Well, that doesn't really have to do with Grub 2's settings. But if you put your windows partition in fstab that is correct. You won't have to mount it manually. | 15:28 |
BluesKaj | drs305, I was referring to the uuid which is missing from my windows fstab entry ? | 15:29 |
drs305 | BluesKaj: If you don't already have windows in fstab, installing ntfs-config is a nice app that will automatically put the entry into fstab for you. | 15:29 |
drs305 | Having the uuid instead of /dev/sdXX is preferable in fstab since the UUID won't change. | 15:30 |
BluesKaj | yes that's done but for some reason the windows partition doesn't auto mount since grub2 | 15:30 |
drs305 | BluesKaj: Let's be clear - Windows won't boot or it simply doesn't mount so you can see it when you are running Karmic? | 15:31 |
BluesKaj | doesn't mount , i have to mount it as root | 15:32 |
BluesKaj | yes it's listed in dolphin places as Volume | 15:32 |
BluesKaj | volume (ntfs) | 15:33 |
drs305 | Check your UUID for the windows partition in fstab and compare it with the results of "sudo blkid -c /dev/null" | 15:33 |
James147 | BluesKaj: sounds like it isent in fstab... dont see why what boot loader you have would matter | 15:33 |
BluesKaj | James147, well it could be coincicdence | 15:34 |
deepjoy | Hi I have been on karmic for 20 days now yesterdays updates leave me with a blinking screen when GDM should start. I re-installed but the same thing happens as soon as I update | 15:34 |
James147 | drs305: why not just run "blkid" ?? | 15:35 |
BluesKaj | drs305, yes 'sudo blkid -c /dev/null' shows the windows partition as /dev/sda1: UUID="12149C75149C5D93" TYPE="ntfs" | 15:35 |
drs305 | BluesKaj: If you did some repartitioning during or before the install your UUIDs might have changed. The /dev/null makes sure it doesn't retrieve a cached UUID. Not likely , but possible. | 15:35 |
deepjoy | was wondering if this is a known issue with yesterdays updates | 15:36 |
deepjoy | or if there is a workaround. | 15:36 |
deepjoy | I'm on live CD for now till I try to re-install again | 15:36 |
BluesKaj | drs305, aamof I did repartition a small portion that was unallocated at the front of ext4 | 15:36 |
BluesKaj | well merged actually | 15:37 |
drs305 | BluesKaj: Does the blkid UUID match the windows one in fstab? | 15:37 |
BluesKaj | no | 15:37 |
drs305 | Then change the one in fstab to match the blkid result for the windows partition ... 12149.... | 15:38 |
BluesKaj | brb | 15:40 |
James147 | BluesKaj: you dont need to reboot | 15:40 |
BluesKaj | my PSU is acting up again | 15:40 |

BluesKaj | Yeasterday I was accused of being disloyal to the cause for installing a proprietary nvidia driver , so my graphics and fav apps would run properly :) | 16:12 |
James147 | BluesKaj: i need to use the proprietary nvidia drivers just so my screens dont go all screwy as i have dual screen | 16:13 |
drs305 | BluesKaj: It's just a machine, not a moral choice ... ;-) | 16:13 |
BluesKaj | James147, right ...that nv driver sucks on nvidia , so went to the web site and got the newest 64 bit 7 series ..runs very nicely | 16:14 |
James147 | BluesKaj: yeah, cant run a livecd without unplugging one of my monitors because of the stupid nv drivers :( | 16:15 |
BluesKaj | well drs305 if the devs won't supply the repos with proper driver , that's not my problem , and I also have to mention theat some the libavcodecs aavilable on medibuntu are stripped of some needed options if you're into media editing etc. | 16:17 |
drs305 | I have no problem with it, but even if I did, it would be MY problem. lol. | 16:17 |
BluesKaj | James147, which graphics card ? | 16:18 |
James147 | BluesKaj: umm, 7something :) | 16:19 |
James147 | probally 7600 | 16:19 |
James147 | dam only 7300 :( | 16:20 |
BluesKaj | ok , NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2.run is the driver for the 7 series , but it has to be installed without X running , this the procedure I used and it worked for me. http://www.pastebin.ca/1565587 | 16:21 |
James147 | BluesKaj: not going to install karmic on this mechine untill its released, hope they fix the repos by then and my laptop has an intel card :) | 16:22 |
BluesKaj | but the existing nv driver has to be removed before installing the new one | 16:22 |
BluesKaj | yeah , I have karmic on our laptop with intel graphics ..runs fine | 16:23 |
drs305 | I have the 7600 and just went to the nvidia site. The 185 drivers are also in the standard 'restricted' repository - at least in Karmic 185.18.36 | 16:24 |
Twigathy | eep | 16:25 |

Twigathy | hm, okay. The tail end of my Xorg log simply says: Backtrace: :) | 16:37 |
nemo | Twigathy: ah. you have same problem as me | 16:40 |
nemo | Twigathy: nvidia right? | 16:40 |
nemo | Twigathy: someone here diagnosed it for me. | 16:40 |
Twigathy | I just found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/429003 | 16:40 |
ubottu | Launchpad bug 429003 in eglibc "[karmic] Xorg (and anything GLX) crashes on startup" [High,Confirmed] | 16:40 |
Twigathy | So I'm going to try downgrading libc | 16:40 |
Twigathy | Apparently that's a fix that'll work for now | 16:41 |
nemo | Twigathy: that's the solution, yep :) | 16:41 |
Twigathy | cool | 16:41 |
Twigathy | Thank goodness for ssh, eh? ;) | 16:41 |
nemo | sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6*ubuntu9*.deb :) | 16:41 |
nemo | Twigathy: well. I found I could get to a terminal too | 16:42 |
nemo | but ssh did make it easier | 16:42 |
Twigathy | I couldn't get to a terminal, black screen on all VTs | 16:42 |
nemo | might have rebooted to older kernel | 16:42 |
nemo | where nvidia wasn't running at all :) | 16:42 |
Twigathy | yay, that looks like gdm :) | 16:42 |
nemo | and of course there's always single user mode | 16:42 |
mneptok | nemo / Twigathy: you couldn't get to another TTY locally? | 16:42 |
nemo | mneptok: yeah. was a bit odd. | 16:42 |
nemo | ctrl-alt-f1/alt-f1 didn't seem to work right - although it did on a few reboots | 16:43 |
Twigathy | mneptok: it seemed to be stuck in a horrific crash-loop | 16:43 |
mneptok | ewww. | 16:43 |
Twigathy | it's okay, I've got my desktop back now :) | 16:43 |
nemo | Twigathy: was that really a loop? | 16:43 |
nemo | it seemed mucked up even when dead | 16:43 |
* mneptok hugs his all-Intel laptop | 16:43 | |
Twigathy | nemo: well my screen kept changing modes... >_< | 16:43 |
nemo | mneptok: lol | 16:43 |
nemo | mneptok: gotta love something about that I guess ;) | 16:43 |
nemo | yeah software mixing :-p | 16:43 |
nemo | mneptok: so. is pulseaudio as screwed up for you as it is on my intel sound cards? | 16:44 |
mac_v | nemo: PA is screwed up for everyone ;) | 16:44 |
mneptok | nemo: the fact Ubuntu was pre-installed is nice, too. it means i don't have to dump Vista on there for basic warrantee support. | 16:44 |
Twigathy | PA works for me, except in mplayer where it does really weird stuff like lag the picture and then catch up again... | 16:44 |
Twigathy | ...so actually it only works with mpd. | 16:45 |
Twigathy | >_< | 16:45 |
nemo | mneptok: ah. yeah. I bought my first dell (also my first prebuilt) to support their linux preinstalls | 16:45 |
nemo | mac_v: I just don't understand why something so clearly beta was set as default | 16:45 |
nemo | instead of as an option for certain HW | 16:45 |
MisterN | nemo: hehe yeah me too and now they silently dropped most of the support again, so i bought a non-dell | 16:45 |
nemo | it has been main source of ubuntu problems for last 3 releases | 16:45 |
mneptok | nemo: i just took delivery of an Inspiron 15n last week. replacing the Lenovo i had used for the 2 prior years. | 16:45 |
DanaG | PulseAudio works fine-ish for me. | 16:45 |
nemo | for me and everyone I support | 16:45 |
nemo | it locks up | 16:45 |
nemo | it sucks up CPU | 16:45 |
nemo | it plays badly with virtually everything | 16:45 |
nemo | and the new mixer just works badly period | 16:46 |
Twigathy | I think the "ish" it the problem with Pulse. It's not mature enough! | 16:46 |
Twigathy | *is | 16:46 |
mneptok | "killall pulseaudio" at login | 16:46 |
DanaG | =þ | 16:46 |
Twigathy | The more we test and grumble the more will get fixed though, I suppose :) | 16:46 |
mac_v | nemo: one workaround i have for now , is to delete the ~/.pulse folder and restart PA , this solves the problems most of the time | 16:46 |
nemo | mac_v: meh. that doesn't fix karmic having broken mixer | 16:47 |
mac_v | heh , WFM in karmic ;p | 16:47 |
nemo | mac_v: or the lockups I get when tabbing from an SDL game to another window | 16:47 |
nemo | mac_v: completely arsed up. I have one input, and one output, and the output is the wrong sound card channel | 16:47 |
nemo | and the volume control controls main volume, badly. | 16:47 |
nemo | mac_v: WFM is so totally useless - it works for *some* people | 16:48 |
nemo | for many many others it doesn't work. | 16:48 |
mac_v | yeah it locks up , i keep killing PA , its my own shoot em up game ;p | 16:48 |
nemo | it should never have been made default :( | 16:48 |
nemo | I'm only still on it to support family members who are. | 16:48 |
nemo | I should just switch them all to ALSA | 16:48 |
nemo | and stop supporting hedgewars users who are still on pulseaudio, too :) | 16:48 |
BluesKaj | I solved my pulseaudio problem sudo aptitude purge pulseaudio , now I have no audio problems :) | 16:52 |
BluesKaj | of course I use vlc pretty much exclusively from any others | 16:54 |
Dr_Willis | .quit | 16:54 |
mac_v | BluesKaj: hehe purge.... ;) | 16:56 |
mneptok | i would not purge the package, but rather kill the PA processes at login. | 16:57 |
BluesKaj | pulseaudio wasn't working right, very choppy sound ...it was running on top of the kernel module driver from my sound card (I think) , as soon as I got rid of PA the audio quality became smooth a and clean | 17:00 |
nemo | hm. this is odd. | 17:00 |
racha | Hello | 17:00 |
racha | I have one question | 17:00 |
nemo | I have a laptop w/ a 1024x768 display that I wanted more real-estate for. | 17:00 |
Trewas | mneptok: killing pulseaudio does not help, it will start up automagically when some program starts using sound | 17:00 |
racha | If u Go update to 9.10 i will be able to boot to my old 9,04 ? | 17:00 |
nemo | so I shrank everything on my theme. modified gtkrc/metacity xml, all good... except for fact that the panel consistently refused to shrink more than 24px in height - which I learned in past was the start-here.png | 17:01 |
nemo | in Jaunty I shrank every single start-here.png to 16x16 - but in Karmic, after doing that, the icon stays big. | 17:01 |
nemo | weird. | 17:01 |
James147 | racha: if you update 9.04 to 9.10 you cannot easily go back down to 04 | 17:02 |
James147 | racha: easiest way to test karmic and still have a working jaunty system is dual boot both | 17:02 |
nemo | also odd. on another karmic machine, linux-headers for my latest kernel was not installed. I installed in synaptic, but. strange. | 17:03 |
James147 | racha: or use virtual mecheines | 17:03 |
MisterN | James147: using the livecd for some simple testing should work too, no? | 17:03 |
James147 | MisterN: yes it would, | 17:04 |
James147 | MisterN: But you also have to update everytime you boot unless your useing a presistant version (such as liveusb) | 17:04 |
James147 | MisterN: but for very basic testing it would probally be the easiest :) | 17:05 |
MisterN | :) | 17:05 |
racha | James147 its possible to Use Live CD with 9.10 ? or there is no Options for that on Alfa test ? | 17:05 |
MisterN | racha: it _is_ possible, as we just discussed... | 17:06 |
racha | James147: What is name of Virtual Machine for Ubuntu ? | 17:07 |
racha | James147: Software | 17:07 |
MisterN | James147: i don't know if that's possible, but "Live HDD", i.e. using an external USB hard drive, would be nice | 17:07 |
MisterN | racha: i use VirtualBox | 17:07 |
racha | MisterN: ok tnx :) | 17:08 |
James147 | MisterN: it is, i use liveusbs all the time (on flash sticks) infact i only use them now, never burn cd anymore | 17:08 |
James147 | racha: there is also VMWare, but i think you need to pay for that | 17:08 |
MisterN | James147: well, the netbook remix does NOT work on a hdd, or at least i didn't get it to work | 17:08 |
MisterN | had to buy an usb stick :D | 17:08 |
jtholmes | is the alt cd the only way to upgrade using the cd? | 17:09 |
racha | MisterN: u use "VirtualBox OSE" | 17:09 |
racha | ? | 17:09 |
MisterN | racha: no, i use the Sun version. see instructions on virtualbox.org | 17:09 |
James147 | jtholmes: It will be the easiest way if you dont ahve a network connection ->https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades/Kubuntu | 17:12 |

durt | vallhalla81, just in case it's not in there, if your upgrading from the command line a -d after do-release-upgrade will install a devel-release, to upgrade in the gui there is a selection switch you need to find - not sure where that is though. (software sources?) | 17:39 |

duffydack | got karmic installed FRESH and booting ok after updates. | 18:18 |
duffydack | the only thing fuxored is sound.. its just too loud and doesnt use my subwoofer (master mono) channel. | 18:19 |
=== greg_g is now known as greg-g | ||
nemo | duffydack: ah. yep. similar to me | 18:19 |
duffydack | if i set it the slider really really low then touch it even slightly the volume blows my head off. master mono channel doesnt get moved either | 18:20 |
nemo | duffydack: if you fire up alsamixer, you might find as I did it is using some random other channel | 18:20 |
nemo | duffydack: only reason sound goes on and off is mute/unmute | 18:20 |
nemo | I've resorted to adjusting sound at the speaker | 18:20 |
nemo | might just give up on pulseaudio though | 18:20 |
duffydack | nemo, yes, application volume in sound prefs, applications volume control, output volume (how many sliders for volume do we need) all do different tihngs. | 18:21 |
duffydack | analog output / amplifier is producing sound but an any app, say audacious with the sound at 13% is just too loud. | 18:23 |
duffydack | adjusting it so far then sets off the master channel (which is at 0 in alsamixer). master mono is all the way up and its doing nothing. | 18:24 |
duffydack | changing to analogue output gives no sound... | 18:24 |
duffydack | analogue output (LFE) amplifier gives sound and with subwoofer, BUT as soon as I touch any volume slider anywhere, the volume hits the roof and master mono channel drops to 0 | 18:25 |
duffydack | at 3% the volume is TOO loud.. | 18:26 |
duffydack | restarting the player sets volumes weird too | 18:27 |
MisterN | haha, when getting a live usb with Karmic Alpha 5, doing the updates needs more time than downloading the original image :D | 18:28 |
duffydack | theyve gone backwards with sound/mixers. | 18:28 |
duffydack | shame too. | 18:29 |
duffydack | i`ll hold out for 10.04 :) | 18:32 |
MisterN | duffydack: i guess PA will work by then :) | 18:33 |
duffydack | I have my jaunty setup superbly for sound. | 18:34 |
duffydack | fingers crossed by final release it will either work or the jaunty mixer is used instead | 18:37 |

BluesKaj | Amaranth, I'm using the main server | 19:43 |

duffydack | BluesKaj, Amaranth even though I`d just done an update few mins earlier | 19:45 |
durt | hey, I didn't even read above :/ | 19:45 |
duffydack | odd. | 19:45 |

arand | ! anyone | BUGy ;) | 19:48 |
ubottu | BUGy ;): A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 19:48 |

Spike1506 | ohw nvm | 19:49 |
BUGabundo | Amaranth: ever since I added a proxy on gnome tools, and them removed it, gnome-console *always* sets a proxy on the ENV. I can't seem to get rid of it. I'm going crazy !! | 19:49 |

Cyber | Anybody know what the plan is with xsplash? | 19:51 |
Cyber | When will it change from the broken vertical throbber? | 19:51 |
Amaranth | cyber: it should have already | 19:51 |
XmagusX | aion: http://www.mail-archive.com/karmic-changes@lists.ubuntu.com/msg08315.html | 19:52 |
Cyber | Really? Wow, I'll have to check for updates again. | 19:52 |
XmagusX | That may have something to do with the current ia32-libs / libasound2-plugins conflict | 19:52 |
Cyber | Thanks for letting me know. | 19:52 |
arand | UUrgh! When messing with vbox instances you start to appreciate _sane_ defaults (where is my shortcut to terminal, where are my icons now again, where is the *swearword* update icon...) | 19:53 |
BluesKaj | BUGabundo, system settings/country region & language/keyboard layout/advanced/ check: make capslock an additional backspace | 19:53 |
Amaranth | BluesKaj: according to launchpad archive.ubuntu.com has the package you need, have you run apt-get update recently? | 19:53 |
BluesKaj | that's kde , dunno what the gnome path is | 19:54 |
BUGabundo | BluesKaj: :) | 19:54 |
BluesKaj | Amaranth, yeah just a few mins ago when you asked me to , well i use aptitude ..it's a bit safer in my experience | 19:55 |
Amaranth | BluesKaj: and you're using archive.ubuntu.com? not us.archive.ubuntu.com or anything like that? | 19:55 |
Pici | I just grabbed a bunch of compiz upgrades from us.archive | 19:56 |
Pici | Then again, I only have ssh access right now, so its not like I can test anything. | 19:56 |
Amaranth | If you look at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/compiz-fusion-plugins-main/ you can see the package is there | 19:56 |
Amaranth | Pici: It's a huge upgrade: 12 crash fixes, about half a dozen feature requests, and something like 30 bugs in total fixed | 19:57 |
Pici | Amaranth: I saw the changelogs :) | 19:57 |
Amaranth | and it doesn't let you disable plugins that are important anymore | 19:57 |
Amaranth | so people can't disable place or move then file bugs saying compiz sucks because they can't move their windows | 19:57 |
BluesKaj | Amaranth, all my default sources are archive.ubuntu.com | 19:57 |
Amaranth | BluesKaj: weird, you can clearly see the package is there if you look through firefox | 19:58 |
Amaranth | BluesKaj: I guess give it a couple more hours and see what happens | 19:58 |
BluesKaj | which pkg Amaranth , http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/compiz-fusion-plugins-main/compiz-fusion-plugins-main_0.7.4-0ubuntu6.2_amd64.deb ..I'm running 64 bit BTW | 19:59 |
Cyber | I can't do update-manager --dist-upgrade. It hangs when checking the cache. | 20:00 |
Amaranth | BluesKaj: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/compiz-fusion-plugins-main/compiz-fusion-plugins-main_0.8.3+git20090914-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb | 20:00 |
aion | can anyone confirm that "sudo nautilus" makes it crash? | 20:00 |
Amaranth | BluesKaj: you'll need the corresponding compiz-fusion-plugins-extra too if apt says it doesn't exist either | 20:00 |
BUGabundo | sooo BluesKaj and Amaranth, any ideas to help me fix my dreaded bug?? | 20:02 |
Amaranth | BUGabundo: nope, that seems really odd | 20:02 |
BUGabundo | I know | 20:03 |
Amaranth | BUGabundo: open gconf-editor and look at /system/http_proxy | 20:03 |
Amaranth | BUGabundo: see if there is a host set there still | 20:03 |
amortvigil | hoi | 20:03 |
arand | BUGabundo: /etc/environment ?? | 20:04 |
amortvigil | how is the bug rate at the moment? | 20:04 |
Amaranth | amortvigil: 61000 and climbing :P | 20:04 |
amortvigil | Amaranth: lol ok then ill wait untill the beta | 20:04 |
amortvigil | :P | 20:04 |
Amaranth | actually 64000 and climbing | 20:05 |
Amaranth | amortvigil: those are for all versions of ubuntu :P | 20:05 |
BUGabundo | Amaranth: clear. nothing there | 20:05 |
Amaranth | BUGabundo: check /etc/environment | 20:06 |
BUGabundo | checning arand idea | 20:06 |
arand | BUGabundo: or /etc/bashrc /etc/profile | 20:06 |
BUGabundo | PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" | 20:06 |
Amaranth | or ~/.bashrc | 20:06 |
Amaranth | BUGabundo: the problem is HTTP_PROXY is being set, right? | 20:07 |
BUGabundo | both /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/profile clear | 20:07 |
BUGabundo | as is ~/.bashrc | 20:07 |
BUGabundo | Amaranth: it is | 20:07 |
BUGabundo | on every boot and new terminal opened | 20:07 |
Amaranth | BUGabundo: oh, it's not just for terminals? | 20:07 |
BluesKaj | BUGabundo, is your capslock still buggered? | 20:07 |
djdarkman | Hello, has there been an update to the PPPoE related packages today or yesterday? | 20:07 |
BUGabundo | I have to set export http_proxy="" everytime | 20:07 |
djdarkman | I can't connect to a PPPoE network :( | 20:08 |
BUGabundo | BluesKaj: Amaranth :))) | 20:08 |
Amaranth | BUGabundo: is /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy unchecked in gconf-editor? | 20:08 |
BUGabundo | yes | 20:08 |
Amaranth | I'm looking at gnome-terminal source code, that is the only way gnome-terminal will set http_proxy | 20:08 |
Amaranth | which means it is being set somewhere where all apps including the terminal will get it | 20:09 |
BUGabundo | I've set it once on system proxy GUI with Apply System Wide | 20:09 |
BUGabundo | eversince that its stuck in there | 20:09 |
Amaranth | oh man | 20:09 |
* Amaranth gets source code for gnome-control-center | 20:09 | |
BUGabundo | even if I set it to NOTHING there and apply system wite again | 20:09 |
BUGabundo | I used "gnome-network-properties" | 20:10 |

BluesKaj | Amaranth, btw compiz installed fin e thanks for the tip about the plugins :) | 20:12 |
Cyber | It seems to run through fine | 20:12 |
Amaranth | BluesKaj: cool, can you start compiz and see if you can drag a window above the top panel? | 20:12 |
Amaranth | crap | 20:12 |
Cyber | Well, having tested it now, it can't get a lock, since update-manager is running. | 20:13 |
Cyber | But I tried it beforehand, and it seems to run through without a problem. | 20:13 |
arand | BUGabundo: also /etc/login.defs possible place | 20:13 |
aftertaf | hey all :) | 20:14 |
aftertaf | any workaround on alpha 5 yet for nvidia boot freeze? | 20:14 |

Adapter | ok | 20:20 |
Adapter | i take a new install | 20:20 |

bjsnider | you install that and it's fixed | 20:20 |
aftertaf | i'm on 'no effects' mode in Desktop Effects application | 20:20 |
Adapter | then test nvidia driver | 20:20 |
aftertaf | bjsnider: how to fix ? reinstall libc6 ? | 20:21 |
bjsnider | something like that. there's an open bug i think | 20:21 |
aftertaf | reinstall libc6, then reboot with nvidia as driver? ok ill test | 20:21 |

BluesKaj | aftertaf: i went to the invidia site and DL.d the proprietary 64 bit driver for my 7600gt | 20:24 |
aftertaf | BluesKaj: :) | 20:25 |
aftertaf | and remove which ubuntu packages, to save me time and reboots ? :) | 20:25 |
bjsnider | it has nothing to do with the nvidia package | 20:25 |
bjsnider | that will not help | 20:25 |
BluesKaj | then installed it from the tty after shutting kdm down | 20:25 |

BluesKaj | aftertaf: of course i removed the nvdriver first | 20:26 |
Amaranth | BluesKaj: can you start compiz and see if you can drag a window above the top panel? | 20:26 |
bjsnider | kermit the koala? he was a good hitter in the carolina league | 20:26 |
Amaranth | BUGabundo: I figured out your problem | 20:26 |
amortvigil | Amaranth: lol are you sure?? kermit the koala souns much more official to me ;P | 20:26 |
Amaranth | BUGabundo: in gnome-network-properties set it to direct internet connection then click apply system-wide | 20:27 |
amortvigil | Amaranth: i see him on tv every day | 20:27 |
BluesKaj | Amaranth: I'm on the laptop outside , setting up the BBQ...this thing is intel graphics | 20:27 |

amortvigil | BluesKaj: im joking lol did you think i wasnt?? | 20:41 |
BluesKaj | dunno | 20:42 |
alienkid10 | so/ | 20:43 |
alienkid10 | so? | 20:43 |
BluesKaj | alienkid10: wubi doen't use ext | 20:43 |
alienkid10 | what does it install to in the file then? | 20:43 |
BluesKaj | wubi runs within windows | 20:43 |
BluesKaj | altho it's hard to tell | 20:43 |
alienkid10 | it's not a VM though | 20:44 |
alienkid10 | and when installing it formats the file to ext3 | 20:44 |
alienkid10 | in 9.04 | 20:45 |
BluesKaj | alienkid10: I'm quoting an expert here" wubi makes an image of a drive which is inside a file the same as dd works. It can be any filesystem like ext2/3/4 in that file | 20:46 |
genii | alienkid10: The file in Windows which is the "drive" wubi uses can have whatever filesystem on it like ext2/3/4 whatever and gets loop-mounted. You should be able to specify any of these you like if you do manual go-through of the partitioning | 20:46 |
vistakiller | hi | 20:47 |
alienkid10 | how would I do manual partition with WUBI and not replace NTLDR | 20:47 |
genii | alienkid10: nt loader is on the main drive. The "drive" wubi sees is not actual, it is a file within Windows which is internally formatted within the file as some Linux-compatible filesystem. | 20:50 |
alienkid10 | how would I manually partition it though? | 20:51 |
BluesKaj | alienkid10: when you run wubi you'll get an option of differnt partition sizes up to 30Gig , could be more depending on the amount of space on your drive | 20:55 |
alienkid10 | how to I tell it what File system to use though the new default for 9.10 is ext4 not 3 | 20:56 |

BUGabundo | humm | 22:58 |
BUGabundo | or look for the UNR there | 22:58 |
dfgas | unr? | 22:59 |
dfgas | ?unr | 23:01 |
dfgas | oops | 23:01 |
Pici | dfgas: Ubuntu Netbook Remix | 23:02 |
BUGabundo | !unr | 23:05 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about unr | 23:05 |
BUGabundo | hey dtchen | 23:05 |
dtchen | hi | 23:05 |
BUGabundo | dtchen: is the CPU 100% bug anyway fixed ? | 23:05 |
BUGabundo | using audio ppa | 23:05 |
dtchen | that description is pretty vague, unfortunately | 23:06 |
BUGabundo | I had to make auto spawn off, or I would melt my laptop | 23:06 |
BUGabundo | dtchen: I guess I need logs :D | 23:06 |
dtchen | yes, preferrably -vvvv | 23:06 |
BUGabundo | dtchen: after 5 mins PA would go crazy and eat all cpu | 23:06 |
BUGabundo | like it would start it self in parale | 23:06 |
BUGabundo | now I have auto spawn turned off, and it just work | 23:06 |
BUGabundo | it just dies like once a day | 23:07 |
dtchen | with 0.9.17? | 23:07 |
dtchen | that seems a bit odd | 23:07 |
BUGabundo | dtchen: Installed: 1:0.9.17-0ubuntu1 | 23:08 |
dtchen | and the only difference from a stock config is your ~/.pulse/client.conf ? | 23:08 |
BUGabundo | think so | 23:09 |
BUGabundo | I try to keep it very close to stock | 23:09 |
BUGabundo | maybe the auto level stuff you asked me to change once | 23:09 |
BUGabundo | ill pastebin the conf files | 23:09 |
BUGabundo | $ pastebinit /etc/pulse/*.conf | 23:10 |
BUGabundo | http://paste.ubuntu.com/271236/ | 23:10 |
BUGabundo | pastebinit /etc/pulse/client.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/271239/ | 23:11 |
BUGabundo | pastebinit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/271240/ | 23:11 |
BUGabundo | dtchen: ^^^^^ | 23:11 |
dtchen | right, so just the autospawn change in client.conf | 23:14 |
dtchen | are you using ia32-libs? | 23:14 |
BUGabundo | maybe | 23:15 |
XmagusX | lol -- can anyone use ia32-libs atm? | 23:15 |
BUGabundo | ia32-libs: Installed: 2.7ubuntu13 | 23:15 |
BUGabundo | XmagusX: broken | 23:15 |
BUGabundo | don't upgrade | 23:15 |
BUGabundo | downgrade if you did :D | 23:15 |
XmagusX | too late for me. ;) | 23:15 |
BUGabundo | downgrade then | 23:15 |
BUGabundo | http://paste.ubuntu.com/271223/ | 23:16 |
BUGabundo | here are the affected packages | 23:16 |
dtchen | no, you need to wait until 14 is rsynced | 23:16 |
dtchen | https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/2.7ubuntu14/+build/1243008 | 23:16 |
dtchen | (or you can download the deb directly) | 23:17 |
BUGabundo | dtchen: sooo what do you wish me to do | 23:18 |
BUGabundo | to give you better feed back? | 23:18 |
BUGabundo | enable auto spawn? | 23:18 |
BUGabundo | but if so, how will pulseaudio -vvvv help? | 23:18 |
dtchen | no, you don't necessarily need autospawn reenabled if you can reproduce the symptom using pulseaudio -vvvv | 23:18 |
dtchen | i need to see precisely where the debugging is failing | 23:19 |
dtchen | anyhow, without a log, it's really difficult to troubleshoot | 23:19 |
BluesKaj | karmic lan networking is also broken , everything that used to connect is no longer doing so ... methinks karmic is going backwards here by introducing too many changes that aren't getting much testing | 23:24 |
BluesKaj | has anyone tried to share a folder lately , there no options , whatsoever. | 23:26 |
BUGabundo | dtchen: I can't. with autospawn off it doesn't happen | 23:27 |
dtchen | BUGabundo: then reenable autospawn and go forth | 23:27 |
BUGabundo | okay friend | 23:28 |
dtchen | back later | 23:29 |
arand | Where do you edit the specific sounds of sound themes in current KK? for example login/out sounds? | 23:29 |
BUGabundo | $ killall -9 pulseaudio | 23:29 |
BUGabundo | pulseaudio: no process found | 23:29 |
BUGabundo | ohhh | 23:29 |
BUGabundo | now he leaves?? | 23:29 |
BUGabundo | who's gona debug this now? | 23:29 |
arand | Man, check out the new highlighting feature of grep, sweet! | 23:32 |
Twigathy | 78 | 23:41 |
