BUGabundochrisccoulson: alt+tab, and few others I had manually set ,like super+w for expose00:02

BUGabundomac_v: I got me confused. what's the current state of the screenblanks bug, from you POV ?00:05
BluesKajhey BUGabundo , so i guess the kernel source fixes are still up in the air , not ready for updates yet /00:05
BluesKaj?00:05
aliendude5300So... there is no way I can just remove a package from the ISO?00:05
aliendude5300Can't I just delete the .deb file?00:05
aliendude5300Or is it more complex than that?00:06
Cynthiaaliendude5300: they'll actually reside in the squashfs (compressed filesystem) image00:06
Cynthiaer, as the installed files I mean, not the .debs00:06
BUGabundoBluesKaj: ?00:06
BluesKajok BUGabundo . lemme rephrase that ...the kernel updates are still broken ?00:07
aliendude5300Oh... so it works similar to dblspace in ms-dos?00:07
Cynthiaaliendude5300: similar, yes00:07
BUGabundoBluesKaj: don't think so00:07
aliendude5300It creates an 'image' of the file system and compresses that?00:07
BUGabundoat least here it installed ok00:08
aliendude5300Hmm... that would make sense why I need special tools to edit it.00:08
BluesKajBUGabundo, kde or gnome and when ?00:08
Cynthiabut since you have a chicken-and-egg problem, a system that needs itself to fix itself, something else has to break that cycle00:08
BUGabundognome NOW00:08
aliendude5300Too bad I don't have access to a Linux PC... wouldn't be too hard to do if I folllowed the guide.00:08
Cynthiayeah00:09
BluesKajok BUGabundo , kde here ...should i take a chance ?00:09
aliendude5300So you have to mount the squashfs image to a folder on the hard disk?00:10
aliendude5300or do you chroot the image?00:10
BUGabundoBluesKaj: livecd 1st?00:10
BluesKajdone that already, BUGabundo00:11
Cynthiasquashfs images are read-only, so you have to decompress it then chroot into that00:11

crimsunwoo, breakage. now that's more like a dev cycle!00:15
crimsuni love how i my git send-pack died in the middle of the network-manager package upgrade :(00:15
MaximLevitsky1BUGabundo: if  ubuntu devs will continue add such features, nobody will use ubuntu00:16
BUGabundohey crimsun00:16
BUGabundoI had to go back to autospawn off00:16
BUGabundocrimsun: you never told me how to debug PA in foreground :(00:17
BluesKajjust did a test installing vlc..no luck , can't install anything : E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)00:18
BluesKajhaven't updated since i reinstalled with the alpha5 live cd00:19

BUGabundoif anyone here is reading this, please ping and remind me tomorrow :)00:21
crimsunwell, they won't be available until tomorrow at the earliest ;)00:21
cjwatson"dpkg returned an error code (1)" is the equivalent of "something went wrong" - no detail at all00:21
Cynthiaaliendude5300, yeah OpenOffice is huge, I'll see what I can remove to make the download shorter (and your burn time as well :)00:23
BluesKajcjwatson, I have a broken nvidia driver dependency that won't go away : Error! DKMS tree already contains: nouveau-0.0.15+git20090823 .  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 3 Errors were encountered while processing:  nouveau-kernel-source00:25
aliendude5300Just openoffice is fine, although GIMP is also pretty large00:26
aliendude5300Whats your upload speed?00:26
aliendude5300I have 25mbps download / 15mbps upload00:26
BUGabundonot bad00:27
aliendude5300Should be pretty fast depending on your connection...00:27
aliendude5300BUGabundo: They sell 50/25 in my area for $20 more a month...00:27
aliendude5300not worth it though00:27
CynthiaI have 512 Kbps up00:27
aliendude5300Hmm... in that case, it's probably a good idea to get the file size down a lot.00:28
aliendude5300Although it would fit on a cd with just openoffice removed00:29
CynthiaAye, it would00:29
Cynthia110476 linux-image-2.6.31-9-generic <-- This is pretty huge too, in fact it's #1 on dpkg-query by descending size, shall I remove it? ;)00:30
aliendude5300lol... I think I need that.00:30
CynthiaHehe00:31
aliendude5300Miiiiiiight not though, I could always burn an image without it and give it a go. :P00:31
BUGabundoaliendude5300: why burn media?00:31
BUGabundojust put it on an usb stick00:31
aliendude5300Only have 3 USB Sticks - 2 4GB ones (one's broken :/), and a 256mb one. The working one has all my important files on it and it's partitioned to boot an OS already, which would be a pain to set up again. 256MB isn't enough to contain the OS00:33
virtualdyou can put a netinstaller there with unetbootin00:34
CynthiaLanguage packs will remove a lot too00:34
aliendude5300Just keep English on there ;)00:35
CynthiaAye :D00:35
aliendude5300Don't feel like learning Simplified Korean to fix my installation.00:35
cjwatsonvirtuald: he said he doesn't have working network00:35
virtualdoh :(00:36
virtualdbetter fix that then :D00:36
Cynthiafreeing 50 MB with gnome-games-data/gnome-games00:37
Cynthiavirtuald: aliendude5300 needs a Karmic CD to fix the networking (recreate /etc/resolv.conf)00:37
Cynthiabasically this is a huge chicken-and-egg problem :(00:37
aliendude5300Awww but I like "Same GNOME"...00:38
Cynthia:P00:38
aliendude5300lol... I really don't care much for games. Especially not the ones that come with gnome00:38
virtualdif it's just resolv.conf it doesn't have to be a karmic cd00:39
BluesKajwell glxigears frame rate is about 1/5 th of it's normal rate , but I'll settle for the proper 1680x1050 res for this monitor right now til  stuff gets fixed00:39
aliendude5300Is it me or is this channel unmoderated? I just realized that there are no Operators or Half-Ops here but ChanServ00:40
aliendude5300... which is a bot.00:40
BluesKajthe nvidia nv driver seems to be the only one that's working for my 7600gt00:41
CynthiaThe operators only op-up when the power is needed, i.e. to kick or ban someone, using ChanServ00:41
aliendude5300Oh... I see.00:41
BluesKajaliendude5300, it's scramble city here today ..the devs are all busy as are the ops trying get (k)ubuntu karmic's broken kernel fixed00:42
=== f1 is now known as Guest46221
aliendude5300Doesn't the Ubuntu build system work like SVN where you can just go back a 'revision'?00:43
BluesKajkind of difficult to do from a broken setup00:44
aliendude5300Or did something upstream break it?00:44
aliendude5300What caused the broken kernel problem?00:45
BluesKajuhm yup00:45
kringelsince karmic most applications (including wget) are resolving hostnames to 1.0.0.0 I have to ping them before manually. ping works00:45
BluesKajaliendude5300, they are busy isolating the prob (I hope )00:46
aliendude5300How come the fact that most Karmic builds are broken is barely known?00:46
aliendude5300They need to make an announcement saying that it's a common problem and how to fix it00:46
BluesKajread the motd ..it's quite revealing00:46
virtualdshould i turn my computer off or put it in sleep mode for tonight?00:47
aliendude5300Well yeah, the topic here says that, but I mean like an Ubuntu.com announcement... most inexperienced users don't even know we have an IRC channel00:47
BluesKajdunno ,but i think  I will not be updating mine for a day or 200:47
ajmitchbecause inexperienced users wouldn't be using karmic00:48
Michalxo_guys please.. should I have "new" gdm theme installed as deafult by now?00:48
NoelJBaliendude5300, inexperienced users should be waiting for October release00:48
NoelJBMichalxo_, I haven't seen anything change.00:48
BluesKajinexperienced user sometimes tred on thin ice without knowing :)00:48
Michalxo_cause I still have that old which alpha 2 had00:48
aliendude5300true... but some see "Karmic Alpha Available" and think "OMG New Ubuntoo! I want that!"00:48
Michalxo_ok, gn guys!00:49
BluesKajanyway TV time with wifey /... bblater00:49
JamesB192is there a work around for the kernel issue(s)?00:50
JamesB192I was thinking it might be udevish in origin, but I don't think that now.00:51
BUGabundoBluesKaj: aptitude safe-upgrade doesn't help you downgrade badpacakges?00:51
BWARGso wait is it gnome or kde that borken?00:51
cjwatsonsigh, misinformation00:52
cjwatsonit wasn't the kernel that was broken00:52
cjwatsonand the reason we didn't just go back was that we didn't *want* to go all the way back - we're intentionally trying to reorganise the boot process and it was a bit of a rough landing, that's all00:52
BWARGso i shouldnt update just yet cause im dead when it comes to boot process00:53
NoelJBcjwatson, did someone say that the kernel was broken?  we haven't had a kernel upgrade during this upstart process.00:53
crimsuncjwatson: we probably should whisper something about judicious updates ;)00:53
aliendude5300cjwatson -- optimizing for speed?00:53
NoelJBoh, i see someone did.00:54
* JamesB192 parroted BluesKaj00:54
aliendude5300... parroted?00:54
BWARGborked?00:54
NoelJBaliendude5300, yeah, james reflected an earlier comment about a broken kernel.00:54
crimsunthe kernel's fine, i certainly can attest to that much.00:55
NoelJBcrimsun, :-)00:55
aliendude5300I'd like to see faster booting by the time Karmic comes out -- have you seen how fast windows 7 boots?00:55
JamesB192but it isn't that because the kernel that I now, worked earlier.00:55
aliendude5300Fedora is also REALLY fast at bootinh00:55
BWARGfuck fedora00:56
BWARGsorry00:56
cjwatsonaliendude5300: that's what we're aiming for, although first (though I know the last couple of days belie that a bit) we're aiming for better-organised and more reliable booting00:56

Michalxo_NoelJB, well.. sudo pm-suspend does nothing :-/01:04
NoelJBcjwatson, I'm sure its late by you, but at some point when this upstart settles down, can I get some chat on grub2?  I have an existing dedicated grub partition that uses configfile to boot any of 5 linux partitions (currently, Fedora 11 and Hardy through Karmic).  Trying to figure out my migration strategy to grub 2.01:04
cjwatsonNoelJB: sure, sometime when it's something more closely resembling European working hours01:05
ajmitchcrimsun: thanks, it's an amd64 install but I imagine it'll be in a PPA01:05

test34I get lots of error like this: http://pastie.org/61980503:06
test34maybe before some program gets loaded03:07
dhcpbrokeni've run out of dhcp clients to try...works in karmic in an earlier kernel, but no the newest03:07
test34dhcpbroken, do you have a router ?03:07
dhcpbrokeni have admin of one, the others is my isp03:08
test34dhcpbroken, you don't want to use a static IP ?03:09
dhcpbrokentest 34: can't, ISP boots manual ips03:09
test34dhcpbroken, I thought you said you had a router at home sorry03:10
dhcpbrokeni have one at home of mine, the others is my isp's03:10
dhcpbrokenboth have no encryption03:11
test34dhcpbroken, you can use a static ip on your local network and the isp won't know about it03:11
dhcpbrokentwo different networks03:12
test34yes03:12
test34thats why03:12
dhcpbrokeni want to get internet over the isp's, so i was using my router to see if it was my problem or the isps03:12
dhcpbrokenmy router isn't connected to anything03:13
test34ubuntu seem to work better now with static ips too03:13
dhcpbrokenisp will boot statics though....need dhcp to work03:14
dhcpbrokentried dhcpcd, dhclient, and pump03:14
test34dhcpbroken, connect your router to your ISP and then you computer to your router, and then use a static IP03:14
test34(your router will use dynamic)03:14
test34no?03:14
dhcpbrokenrouter doesn't support essid bouncing03:14
test34sorry never heard about his03:15
test34this03:15
dhcpbrokencan i use my linksys as a wireless card to ethernet?03:19
peepsalotcan someone please tell me where samba folder-sharing configurations stored?03:22
test34/etc/samba/smb.conf03:22
edoceoI just tried to use today's update and now my X is dead :(  so is my network :(03:23
test34edoceo, that should have happened with yesterday's update03:23
edoceoJust a few minutes ago, so if I can get my system back I should do another update to fix?03:24
test34edoceo, you could do the latest update using a liveCD03:24
edoceoYou mean via some chroot trick?03:24
test34yes03:25
edoceoYou may be right (I use systemrescuecd) but I'm also getting some fsck errors and /dev/shm & /dev/pts are missing - I'll give the CD+chroot thing a try...03:25
test34http://pastie.org/61982603:26
peepsalottest34, i thought that was it, but I'm not seeing the folders which are shared on this computer in that file.  is it possible there is a secondary config file?03:26
peepsaloti think they were originall set to be shared through nautilus Sharing menu, maybe they are shared on something orhter protocol than samba?03:28
test34samba probably not the default03:28
test34but I don't know, I'm trying to find something03:31
test34I guess it might be samba,... when I try to share a folder in nautilus it wants to install it03:32
test34and libpam-smbpass03:33
peepsalottest34, yeah, it looks like it's still samba, when I view the network, i can get to my shared folder, and the URI has smb: protocol.  but when I search smb.conf for that directory name, nothing comes up03:39

|GuS|Hi guys... what says in the topic is not fixed yet?03:40

wastrelhi03:51
wastrelif i upgrade now is it going to break my koala03:51
CynthiaIt may. There have been reports of kernel breakage earlier today.03:51
CynthiaBut I'm fine, and I didn't see any kernel update today. So it may be isolated.03:52
JanCmost of the problems are fixed by now, but no 100% guarantee I suppose03:52
JamesB192I really doubt it's the kernel. I really think it's a userland thing maybe udev.03:52
JanCJamesB192: upstart & boot scripts03:53
Cynthiaudev/hal are causing CD-ROM automount and burning problems03:53
JanCand maybe udev/hal too  ;)03:53
Cynthiayou can read if you mount manually, but you can't burn CDs at any time03:53
JanCmaybe 2 types of breakage coincided  ;)03:54
Cynthiacheck if you're affected by Bug 431055 if you can please, and add your comment there03:54
ubottuLaunchpad bug 431055 in gvfs "gnome doesn't 'see' cdroms/dvds" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43105503:54
JamesB192boot scripts! I had to mount /dev/pts by hand to get konsole and my remote hosted quassel client to work right.03:55
test34looks like I'm affected cynthia (at least they're not auto-mounted)03:56
Cynthiasomeone already added gvfs-ubuntu to the bug,  and NoelJB had a log with HAL recognising the CD-ROM drive03:57
JamesB192not to mention invoking ifconfig and route.03:57
* JamesB192 is obselete minded.03:57
Cynthiatest34: ok, now try to mount it manually and burn something using Brasero03:57
Cynthiausing something like sudo mkdir /mnt/manualcd && sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/manualcd03:58
NoelJBCynthia, udev not HAL, and I posted it to the bug report.03:59
NoelJBCynthia, you mean bug 431055 ?04:00
ubottuLaunchpad bug 431055 in gvfs "gnome doesn't 'see' cdroms/dvds" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43105504:00
CynthiaYes, that one04:00
Cynthiaand I really thought that was a HAL log, I mist have skimmed over it way too fast04:00
test34Cynthia, at least I can mount /dev/sr1 and read it04:01
test34what does sr stand for04:01
Cynthiatest34: Good. But you did have to mount the CD manually, yes? It didn't appear on the Desktop at first04:01
test34Cynthia, yes I did it manually04:02
CynthiaOk, could you add a comment to the bug please?04:02
JamesB192test34: SCSI CD-ROM04:02
test34thanks JamesB19204:03
test34Cynthia, can I use you login and password?04:03
test34(just kidding)04:03
JamesB192also likely applies to think like that SATA blu-ray drive I was ogling.04:04
Cynthiatest34: no :)04:04
Cynthiaon another note, wow, ext4 with extents is fast at deleting files04:05
test34Cynthia, ext2 is probably still better04:05
Cynthiatest34: it reads and writes for just about a minute before deleting a 20 GB file04:06
CynthiaI mean ext204:06
test34Cynthia, I try to not use 20gb files04:07
CynthiaSometimes you can't help but use a single huge file04:07
test34I managed to never use a 20gb files in 15 years04:08
Cynthiaeven a .tar or a .tar.gz backup? :)04:08
test34yes04:08
Cynthiamost of us aren't so lucky04:09
test34I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure04:09
test34well it is easy to break off an archive in multiple files04:10
test34Cynthia, you need to backup more often04:10
pwnguinwith a large file, you'll hit double indirect blocks you need to read to determine which disk blocks can be reclaimed.04:11
pwnguinext4 extents can compress that to a much smaller range04:11
test34ok, what filesize can you start to notice a difference ?04:12
Cynthia500k blocks04:12
Cynthiathat could be 500 MiB if your blocks are 1 KiB, up to 2 GiB if your blocks are 4 KiB04:13
test34Cynthia, I posted a comment on this bug04:16
Cynthiathanks :)04:17
test34I created that login in 2005.. and I think I logged in only a couple times before today04:17
CynthiaI created mine in March 200704:19
test34don't the ubuntu team have a checklist before they release a patch?04:21
test34I guess not for the alpha?04:21
CynthiaI'd guess the same thing04:21
nhasianits not uncommon for me to have 10 or 20 gig files04:22
CynthiaThey have the SRU process for release builds, and nothing much for alphas except Feature Freeze Exceptions04:22
Cynthiaer, I mean Feature Freezes04:22
test34a feature freeze, does that mean a package version free?04:23
Cynthianot adding features that aren't present in current package versions - this still allows functional and security changes on existing features, though04:24
test34so it could still introduce huge bugs, but that makes sense for alpha04:25
AirBenderhey, I think there's a bug in the users and groups dialog in gnome04:31
AirBenderthe groups list is identical to the users list04:31
test34AirBender, might be normal04:33
aliendude5300probably meant to be that way.04:33
AirBenderbut there are more groups04:33
AirBenderand in 9.04 it shows the other groups04:34
test34AirBender, you just said it was identical04:34
aliendude5300yeah... groups like "nobody"04:34
aliendude5300with nobody in them.04:34
test34AirBender, cat /etc/group ; cat /etc/passwd04:34
AirBenderI mean for example a user installed VBox04:34
AirBenderand the instalation program created the group vboxusers04:34
AirBenderthen the user goes to the dialog to add him to the group04:35
AirBenderbut the group isn't there04:35
AirBenderI know you can do it by commands, but...04:35
test34AirBender, there is lots of users and groups missing from mine too.. but I don't know if it's a bug04:35
aliendude5300hmm... idk, it's probably default behavior04:36
AirBenderwell, I'm just putting it on the table...04:36
AirBenderbecause it seems wrong to me...04:36
test34AirBender, file a new bug and see what they think04:38
AirBenderaren't "they" here?04:38
test34https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+filebug04:38
AirBenderI thought may be it doesn't deserve a bug report...04:39
test34AirBender, maybe afk if there are "here"04:39
test34AirBender, I support a bug report04:39
test34how do they decide to hide users and groups I don't know04:40
AirBenderok04:41
AirBenderseems like a mistake in the ListControl04:42
AirBenderbut strange mistake04:42
AirBenderI mean, is evident04:42
test34it might not be a mistake, sometimes GUIs like to hide important stuff!04:42
test34but it is worth it telling them anyways04:43
test34they might try to make it more "simple"04:44
AirBendermmm04:45
AirBenderbut this menu is just for adding/removing users to the groups04:46
Cynthiatest34/AirBender: the last time I went in Users and Groups, the configuration "could not be loaded"04:46

CynthiaThough the build servers are up now04:47
MindVirusCynthia: I know.04:47
MindVirusI just need to know if there are any known critical bugs in the updates.04:47
test34why does the build servers go down every 2 minutes?04:48
CynthiaNone for me, but some users seem to have bugs that I don't get04:48
CynthiaIt depends on the hardware you have04:48
test34MindVirus, I did all updates and rebooted and it still works fine04:48
MindVirustest34: There were dbus bugs.04:49
MindVirusDo you know anything about that?04:49
test34MindVirus, yesterday?04:49
MindVirustest34: I believe so.04:50
test34MindVirus, I could not boot at all yesterday, but it was fixed yesterday04:50

Cynthiayeah, unfortunately05:02
test34they get indexed pretty quickly in google05:02
test34within an hour or two I think05:02
AirBendermm there's already a similar report but since 2008... and I have many groups listed in jaunty05:04

AirBenderI've been reading in launchpad, and there are bug reports reporting just the opposite as what I see as a bug05:16
Cynthiamust be an update05:17
AirBenderso it seems like the default desired behavior is to hide the groups05:17
AirBenderthey think there's a risk in showing some groups, as new users might think they are users gaining acces to the computer...lol05:19

j1mccan anyone be of assistance? is there anything that i could add to the bug report to make it more complete?05:44
NoelJBj1mc, what timezone are you in?05:46
j1mcNoelJB: UTC-6 (US Central)05:46
j1mcit's 11:45pm here05:46
NoelJBj1mc, try to swing back tomorrow during *EU* business hours, and ask.  One of the grub2 maintainers has been hanging out here, and can likely help.05:46
NoelJBj1mc, if you can wait :-)05:47
j1mcNoelJB: np.  i'm afraid that i won't have IRC access at that time, though.05:47
NoelJBj1mc, ah.  he's also been here US evenings, but seems to prefer EU time for obvious reasons.05:47
NoelJBso the earlier you can get on the better.05:47
j1mcunderstood - thanks for the tips.  what is his IRC nick, if you don't mind?05:48
NoelJBj1mc, actually, cjwatson seems to be signed in, but I suspect he's asleep.05:49
j1mcsure05:49
NoelJBj1mc, but I'm sure that cjwatson can look at bug 430659 and help you out.05:49

j1mci suspected that he might get to my report eventually... he has been triaging some other grub2 reports. i figured that he might just be busy with the pending alpha release05:50
j1mcthanks again05:50
NoelJBj1mc, i'm sure he is.  :-)  I've got a dedicated grub partition and configfile setup to migrate to grub2, but I'll wait until he's got more time.  Not urgent given the other pressures (e.g. upstart).  But grub2 is new enough to most of us that it will take some time before we know it as well as we know grub 1.05:52
Machtinstill no bugfix?05:54
NoelJBMachtin, for?05:54
Machtinmy system not booting05:54
Machtinjust am on live cd.. wanted to retry the chroot-thing05:54
MachtinI also have this problem with these udev-errors and then nothing happens05:57
CyberKitsuneNew package updates, should I?05:57
DanaGargh, xsplash conflicts with xsplash artwork.  hah.06:00
moj0risingI apologize since I'm sure this question has already been asked. Is there any way people who have broken non-bootable systems to at least get their machines booting properly again?06:13
moj0risingif not, anyone know of any good tutorials on reading encrypted partitions from a live cd?06:13
nonix4Is there a backport of bug#402683 fix available somewhere, since it prevents ltsp-build-client from building karmic images on pre-karmic ubuntu?06:14
tanelimoj0rising: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChrootRecovery06:29
tanelidepends on your breakage, I guess06:29
nonix4recovery method also depends on type of encryption used... actual encrypted partition(s) or something like eCryptfs?06:48
moj0risingsorry. not sure, nonix4...06:52
moj0risingI used the standard full-disk encryption method with lvm06:52
moj0risingin the alternate install06:53
moj0risingI tried booting with the jaunty live cd and could not find any physical or logical volumes with the lvm  utilities06:54
moj0risingnot sure what's wrong here.06:54
moj0risingI know its alpha and everything and I don't have much on this drive but id like to have it back working if possible,06:55
aboSamoor1why is there 0.9.17 pa release just after one day of 0.9.16 release ?07:12
mjbrooksbecause developers do silly things like develop07:13
andresmhso, after suffering from yesterday's breakage, I decided to install Alpha 5 from scratch. Is it safe now to run aptitude upgrade or not yet?07:14
jwxhi, usb-creator says "device needs to be formatted for use" but format option is grayed out, my question is how do I format the usb key?07:16
andresmhyou can use gnome partition07:17
andresmhjwx07:17
AlanBellmoj0rising: http://roderick-greening.blogspot.com/2009/09/recover-non-booting-linux-system.html07:18
moj0risingAlanBell, thanks! I'll check that out right now.07:18
AlanBellthat said, on the machines I broke I could get to a command line and do another dist-upgrade and they both came back perfectly (well near enough)07:19
andresmhAlanBell, so do you know if upgrading an Alpha5 installation would break it or are problems fixed now?07:20
moj0risingah. yeah. I can't do that because of the encrypted partitions.07:20
moj0risingAlanBell, I don't thing the link you sent will work because of the encryption.07:22
jwxandresmh: right, but what would be the correct filesystem/options to use? it's ext3 on now, but usb-creator doesn't seem to like that07:22
moj0risingI'm taking a look though.07:22
moj0risingah. I see something that might be helpful in the comments.07:24
jwxif i format usb key with mkfs.vfat for usb-creator use, what would the best options be? should it even have partition(s)?07:26
virtualdYou might need partitions to have a boot sector07:28

skatteolamountall seems to fail, and it seems to receive garbled and irrelevant(?) paths from somewhere (resulting in things like, mountall: <garbled>/sndstat: No such file or directory" and a failed boot).08:27

sagacieagles0513875: i didn't think there was a ubuntu+2 but have they decided much about the 10,xx release09:20
eagles0513875already did the mounting of my partition09:21
eagles0513875sagaci: ? what u mean09:21
mjbrooksgreat09:21
mjbrookseagles0513875, sudo chroot /mnt09:21
eagles0513875ok chrooted09:21
eagles0513875sagaci: this is for the current 9.10 dev release09:21
mjbrooksso if you do ls /home you home folder should be in there not the live cd09:22
sagaciwell weren't they going to maybe synchronise the LTS release with debian or something, is there a channel for that09:22
eagles0513875ya it is mjbrooks09:22
eagles0513875sagaci: not sure do you use ubuntu or kubuntu09:22
sagaciubuntu09:22
mjbrookswatch to see if this next one looks to the karmic servers... I can't remember if this works09:22
mjbrookseagles0513875, sudo apt-get update09:22
eagles0513875ok09:23
mjbrooksis it pulling from karmic?09:23
eagles0513875it does but it fails09:23
mjbrooksfails?09:23
eagles0513875failed to fetch the repo could not resolve09:23
sagaciit doesn't really matter, i was just wondering, thought i'd try out the alpha 6 if it was out in a VM but i guess i'll wait until some things are ironed out09:23
mjbrooksugh09:23
eagles0513875i think might need to add a resolve.conf file with the dns ip of my router09:23
eagles0513875sagaci: last i heard yesterday 6 was in QA09:24
mjbrooksdid oyu ping gogole earlier?09:24
mjbrooksgoogle09:24
eagles0513875ya09:24
sagacieagles0513875: err, what's qa09:24
MindVIrusI just got a 6MB update from `apt-get update` but when I did `apt-get upgrade` there were no packages to ugprade. Does this mean that only packages that I don't have installed were updated?09:24
eagles0513875sagaci: quality assurance09:24
maxbMindVIrus: correct09:24
eagles0513875mjbrooks: let me add a resolve.conf file in /etc and see if that helps09:24
MindVIrusmaxb, I find it kind of hard to believe.09:24
mjbrooksok09:25
maxbI don't09:25
eagles0513875ummm question do i add it to the chroot environment or the jaunty one09:25
MindVIrusmaxb, this has NEVER happened.09:25
maxbI find that hard to believe09:25
mjbrooksshould be in chroot09:25
MindVIrus:)09:25
eagles0513875MindVIrus: dont forget this is a development version still so breakage is expected09:25
mjbrooksthat's all it knows now09:25
MindVIruseagles0513875 I can read the topic.09:25
MindVIrusOh, it's not in the topic right now.09:25
MindVIrusIt was.09:26
MindVIrusI'm not complaining about breakage. :)09:26
=== MindVIrus is now known as MindVirus
robin0800MindVIrus: still is09:26
MindVirusrobin0800, before there was a warning: Karmic may break your system.09:26
eagles0513875mjbrooks: cant restart the network its saying command not found O_O09:26
robin0800MindVirus: yes Neither karmic nor the buildds are in a working state right now.09:27
MindViruseagles0513875, so you know, I didn't do anything that relates to anything, but my keyboard and mouse started working again.09:27
eagles0513875wtf09:27
eagles0513875MindVirus: O_O09:27
MindViruseagles0513875, I read something about giving dbus time to start up.09:27
eagles0513875well hasnt been my case09:27
mjbrooksget anything with 'ls /etc/init.d' ?09:27
eagles0513875humm might have to try that09:27
sagacido you guys know what the problem is or are you still diagnosing09:27
eagles0513875mjbrooks: hold on09:27
MindViruseagles0513875, you should try startx after like 15 minutes.09:27
eagles0513875mjbrooks: im tempted to try mindvirus's method09:28
eagles0513875MindVirus: i boot right into x after fixing that issue09:28
MindVirusWhat issue?09:28
eagles0513875MindVirus: i had an issue where i wasnt able to boot into x09:29
eagles0513875turned out after installing the video driver from the nvidia website and i was able to get to kde09:29
eagles0513875mjbrooks: at least i know how to get to the save way if i still have the issue09:30
MindVIrus5eagles0513875, did you try?09:30
eagles0513875im gonna reboot onto my install and see if i get the same resolution like MindVIrus509:30
eagles0513875going to no09:30
eagles0513875w09:30
MindVIrus5I see.09:30
mjbrookseagles0513875, gl09:30
eagles0513875mjbrooks: will keep ya posted09:30
mjbrooksk09:30
* mjbrooks rebeer09:30
robin0800eagles0513875: there was an update to mountall just now may help?09:32
eagles0513875well i have no keyboard or mouse09:32
eagles0513875thats what im trying to fix right now09:32
eagles0513875mjbrooks:  and MindVIrus5 giving some time for dbus to load will do other things while i wait09:33
MindVIrus5eagles0513875, so you know, I didn't instantly run startx.09:40
MindVIrus5That may be the issue.09:40
eagles0513875possibly09:40
MindVIrus5If you wait 15 minutes in the command prompt and then run startx it may work.09:40
eagles0513875thing is even if i boot into runlevel 109:40
eagles0513875i have no keyboard and mouse09:40
MindVIrus5cjwatson_, do you have any insight?09:40
MindVIrus5cjwatson_, I don't know if you're there or not, but eagles0513875's keyboard/mouse don't work.09:41
MindVIrus5Nor did mine.09:41
eagles0513875but u managed to get urs to work09:41
MindVIrus5eagles0513875, somehow.09:41
eagles0513875hehe09:42
eagles0513875the koala doesnt like to behave09:42
AlanBellMindVIrus5: usb or ps/2? not that I have any great insight into the matter09:42
MindVIrus5eagles0513875, does GDM start right up for you or do you drop into a console?09:42
MindVIrus5AlanBell, I'm guessing my laptop uses USB.09:42
eagles0513875MindVIrus5:  im on kdm09:42
MindVIrus5AlanBell, that is, internally.09:42
eagles0513875AlanBell: same with mine its a trackpad09:42
MindVIrus5eagles0513875, that then.09:42
eagles0513875kdm starts im seeing the login screen09:43
AlanBellok, so an integrated laptop keyboard. Can you plug in an external one?09:43
MindVIrus5eagles0513875, try booting into the recovery console.09:43
eagles0513875i  dont have a usb one09:43
eagles0513875MindVIrus5: same issue with the box comes up with the list of options in runlevel one no keyboard09:43
MindVIrus5AlanBell, it's definitely not a problem with the mouse or keyboard separately.09:43
eagles0513875and my monitor just went black now09:43
MindVIrus5eagles0513875, perhaps you had something different than I.09:43
eagles0513875AlanBell:  MindVIrus5 gave 15 min so dbus could start up and it worked for him09:44
MindVIrus5eagles0513875, I was always able to use keyboard (and mouse using GPM) in the command prompt.09:44
eagles0513875MindVIrus5: posisbly my isses of x crashing on boot untill i installed the driver from nvidia09:44
MindVIrus5eagles0513875, did you get KDM to work or did it always?09:44
eagles0513875always worked once i installed the video driver from nvidia and not the one from the repos09:45
eagles0513875btw im duelbooting with boot camp on a mac book pro09:45
MindVIrus5eagles0513875, I'm almost sure that we have different problems then.09:45
eagles0513875so my issues might be slightlly different then the normal09:45
MindVIrus5I got dropped into a command prompt.09:45
eagles0513875same with me at the beginning09:45
MindVIrus5eagles0513875, that's what I meant, then.09:45
MindVIrus5How'd you fix it?09:45
eagles0513875MindVIrus5: installed the driver from the nvidia site and it worked09:45
MindVIrus5eagles0513875, damnit, I don't have an nVidia driver.09:46
eagles0513875MindVIrus5: if you look form another machine and then you can use wget to get the driver from the site once u have the url09:46
MindVIrus5eagles0513875, I don't have a card.09:46
MindVIrus5:P09:46
eagles0513875O_O09:46

eagles0513875keyboard and mouse weirdness09:50
eagles0513875im debating if i should reinstall with the karmic alpha 5 alternate cd i have09:50

eagles0513875hehe tell me bout it09:51
eagles0513875then again i have another oddity on a clean install of karmic09:51

eagles0513875going for a clean install no on the alpha 5 cd i have09:52
MindViruseagles0513875, roger that.09:56
AlanBellI have a feeling that if you go back to A5 you will still have a hurdle to cross to get to where we are now.09:59
MindViruseagles0513875, if you're not looking at this channel, AlanBell typed to you.10:00
AlanBellthat said it would be a worthy experiment10:00
eagles0513875AlanBell: i know what the issue is in regards to me not having any desktop10:00

ubottufsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot10:57

ToreadorVampireOK ... so my Jaunty install finally died on me - probably disk errors since I have been running the OS from a cheap USB flash drive for ~5 months now11:00
keith2eagles0513875: a search for ubuntu recovery menu shows others that have experienced the same behavior.11:00
eagles0513875well ill let u know once im finished here as i am in recovery moded11:00
eagles0513875mode as we speak updating my install11:00
ToreadorVampire... currently in the process of installing karmic alpha5 - I was never really happy with Jaunty and had a number of issues - it felt like alpha-quality software even in the release ... that said - I'm going to try and approach karmic with a fresh mind ... so on to my question ...11:01
keith2eagles, apparently variants of the shutdown command such as shutdown -P now don't do that though.11:01
ToreadorVampire... is there anything in Karmic A5 (Kubuntu-variant) that I should specifically watch out for?11:01
ToreadorVampireI noticed at first glance that /dev/ has been totally reorganised and the jury is out as to whether I like the change or not ...11:02
eagles0513875that was weird11:02
eagles0513875that just randomly rebooted my machine O_O11:02
ToreadorVampire... but anything else that might be a "wtf"?11:02
=== woozy__ is now known as woozy_
eagles0513875ToreadorVampire: there is alot of wtf going on11:02
ToreadorVampireoic, haha11:02
keith2ToreadorVampire, there are a number of major changes going on right now11:02
keith2Was your issue with Jaunty or KDE?11:03
eagles0513875mine keith211:03
Ian_CorneToreadorVampire: be carefull11:03
ToreadorVampirekeith2> Well, I had 2 major issues - and I never managed to get a satisfactory answer as to what the cause of either was :(11:03
Ian_Cornekarmic is still alpha, make sure you have an ethernet connection + livecd on standby11:03
eagles0513875what were they11:03
eagles0513875tell me bout it11:04
eagles0513875my keyboard and trackpad stopped working for me yesterday11:04
eagles0513875and my other issue was with x not starting but that was fixed by a weird solution11:04
keith2yeah, yesterday's bugs were fixed up and apt-get upgrade11:04
vistakillerevery 2-3 boot the system say to run fsck11:04
keith2i had to do a chroot recovery11:04
vistakillerwhy this?11:05
ToreadorVampireWell, the /most/ annoying was a copypaste issue in X, and it seemed to manifest mostly when I was running GTK-based apps ... it's a little hard to explain but I would be selecting text with the mouse (or the keyboard) and - even though I hadn't released the mouse button (or shift if keyboard-selecting) the 'text I had selected so far' would get forcibly deselected and copied to my clipboard (not selection buf11:06
ToreadorVampirefer)11:06
joaopintovistakiller, known problem, being fixed11:07
ToreadorVampireIt was a little like the way that xchat (and possibly a few other IRC clients) work by default ... you select text and it immediately copies your selection to the clipboard without needing to use "Copy"11:07
Ian_Cornetrying to boot with automatic fsck disabled doesn't fix my problem :(11:07
Ian_Cornegah forgot to update while i was there11:08
ToreadorVampireExcept that it was doing it in numerous apps (including: pidgin & monodevelop) and it was "ending my selection and performing the copy" just when I paused the mouse and didn't alter my selection for a few moments11:09
joaopintoToreadorVampire, have you filled a bug report about it ?11:09
ToreadorVampirejoaopinto> I believe I did, but I never got any response11:09
* ToreadorVampire tries to find it11:09
ToreadorVampireThe main problem was that I'd ask the kubuntu guys and they said "sounds like gtk bug", so I'd ask the gtk guys and they blamed someone else, I went and asked the Xorg guys (just in case) and eventually got dragged into a circle of blame, I couldn't figure out which aspect of the software was responsible11:11
ToreadorVampireAh, here we are11:12
ToreadorVampirehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/38090711:12
ubottuLaunchpad bug 380907 in ubuntu "Text gets erroneously copied to the clipboard in GTK based applications" [Undecided,New]11:12
vistakillerthanks11:13
ToreadorVampireIt's been sitting there since late May :(11:13
* ToreadorVampire pretty much gave up with it11:13
ToreadorVampireHang on, Karmis install on my laptop nearly finished - will return from there in a sec11:15
joaopintoToreadorVampire, you have read the topic right ?11:16
ToreadorVampireYes, I noticed that - but I'm not installing from trunk - I'm using the alpha5 release linked from Kubuntu.org11:18
ToreadorVampireBesides, I'd say "it seemed to have worked just fine"11:18
AlanBellToreadorVampire: I can't reproduce that selection thing11:26
AlanBellusing gedit, copy some text to the clipboard, confirm it is there with ctrl+v, select some other text, pause, ctrl+v and the original copied text gets pasted11:27
AlanBellis it only when using gtk apps from kubuntu desktop?11:28
ToreadorVampireIt seemed so, but I later found it to be intermittent and I never really figured out anything solid that helped me reproduce it11:32
ToreadorVampireBut yes, when I did experience it it was only in GTK-based apps, and Kubuntu Desktop/Jaunty11:32
jtheuerHi, In Karmic I found this issue: I just installed the konqueror. When I start it I just get: konqueror: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkonquerorprivate.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN19KonqHistoryProvider16staticMetaObjectE11:34
jtheuerany idea which lib is missing?11:34

joaopintoToreadorVampire, unless you disable your internet connection somehow, the updates with the alpha5 may get you a broken system11:37
ToreadorVampirejoaopinto> Oh, right, OK, but I still have to approve those updates right?  I mean, it's not going to install the updated packages without confirmation?11:40
joaopintoToreadorVampire, it installs the updates without asking you11:41
ToreadorVampireArghwtf11:41
joaopintounless you can disabled it from the advanced options11:41
joaopintoyou can't, on the default install11:41
muszekI was considering upgrading to Karmic once Alpha 6 comes out... but now I'm looking at the subject and gotta ask - are there some major instabilities?  Is it some long-term problem?11:43
joaopintois the current behaviour of grub2 not adding a entry for other OS installs, expected on the final release ?11:43
GobiTheGoblinAny mayor crash reports on new updates?11:43
ToreadorVampireErm - OK - I'm looking at kpackagekit's settings and it's set to "only notify me of updates" not to auto-install them11:43
joaopintomuszek, as of yesterday you could get an unbootable system, not sure about today11:43
joaopintoToreadorVampire, I am talking about the install process, not the system update11:44
muszekjoaopinto: thanks, I'll keep waiting then.11:44
ToreadorVampireOh - right - yeah, I had no Internet connetcion during the install process ...11:44
ToreadorVampireI have just configured my wifi just now (on the completed install)11:44
ToreadorVampireI'll have to add an autojoin here on that machine then - when things settle down then I will install all of the (umpteen) recommended updates11:47
aciculahmm upstart script for networkmanager broke11:49
eagles0513875acicula: look at the channel topic11:50
aciculaeagles0513875: old, was like that yesterday, this is new11:50
GobiTheGoblineagles0513875: ty for pointing that out.. I was just about to update =)11:50
aciculaer11:50
eagles0513875its still not in a working state11:50
aciculanoticed11:51
eagles0513875GobiTheGoblin: still no luck here might reinstall jaunty and upgrade as that seems to be the only way to get a semi working install of karmic11:51
GobiTheGoblineagles0513875: What about older images? Are they still available?11:51
eagles0513875dunno i have alpha 5 install but am having issues11:52
aciculathe previous alphas are available11:52
ToreadorVampireHmm11:52
joaopintoIMHO installing karmic does not make much sense at this time11:53
GobiTheGoblineagles0513875: You have multiple Os in your computer?11:53
eagles0513875ya11:53
eagles0513875osx11:53
eagles0513875whats strange is i am only having random freezes on my karmic vm on this machine11:53

eagles0513875ya11:55
eagles0513875but at least i would like it installed until fixes ar available11:55
GobiTheGoblineagles0513875: well that is true. What if you try older images, and reinstalling from them?11:56
GobiTheGoblinatleast 3-4 days old, before all these problems11:56

Dr_WillisI do see some 'core' files in /13:43

alankilawell, I'm not sure if it was just some random one-off thingy. If it happens again...13:44
BluesKajalankila, yeah, my original prob was no mouse or KB response after the update on Tue13:44

eagles0513875alankila: same issue on my macbook with keybaord nad track pad whats worse for me is i cant unplug replug13:45
alankilaI've had Linuxes have difficulties with USB keyboards if you don't use them at all when you boot up. Something decides that the keyboard is nonfunctional without evidence to contrary like keystrokes and then typing doesn't work until I reboot13:45
eagles0513875BluesKaj: what doesnt make sense is for me it stopped working on wednesday morning13:45
BluesKajafter reboot eagles0513875 ?13:45

joaopintoos-prober should be able to find windows xp partition ?13:46
BluesKajI had no scrn or X or login13:46
alankilathen again, USB is not really very functional technology. For instance, when I shut down windows then it's pretty common that it takes a replug before the device works again. I don't recall if the problems are on windows or linux side though. :-/ somehow the BIOS doesn't reset the USB subsystem properly and then drivers all fail to init the devices13:46
BluesKaja whole lot of error messages about kernel sources13:46
eagles0513875well BluesKaj what fixed mine and it wasnt regarding no x at startup was the nvidia driver from nvidia13:47
eagles0513875the one in the repos wouldnt cut it for me13:47
Michalxojoaopinto, did for me13:47
alankilaso I do have a mouse which I have attached to an extension USB cord right in front of me just so that I don't have to reach behind the machine to unplug and replug the damn thing whenever it decides to fail13:47
joaopintoit is failing for me13:47
joaopinto:\13:47
alankilathat mouse, too, is microsoft technology. I'm starting to detect a pattern here...13:48
* eagles0513875 powers on my karmic vm again to update13:48
Dr_WillisI like my Logitech Nanos :)13:48
Michalxomy laptop has nothing from MS or logitech...13:48
BluesKajeagles0513875, the proprietary nvidia driver wouldn't install yesterday due to kernel source error13:48
eagles0513875BluesKaj: if i used the one in the repo i couldnt get to a tty console13:49
eagles0513875with the nv driver i coudl but the nvidia one from nvidia got me a login screen and desktop13:49
alankilaand yes, I have actually crashed the keyboard by pressing enough keys down at once. :) so it's not completely far fetched to claim that you can crash it. It's a simple computer after all with bugs in hardware and software.13:49
BluesKajI used the nv driver13:49
eagles0513875that wouldnt work for me on my mac13:49
eagles0513875neither would the glx-185 in the repo13:49
eagles0513875had to get the 185 version from the nvidia website13:49
eagles0513875which makes no sense what in that fixed not having an x server or login screen13:50
BluesKajyeah , the glx one did work but with crappy resolution13:50
eagles0513875wouldnt for me13:50
BluesKajwell, now we'll see what happens13:50
BluesKajlooks like grub is ok13:51
BluesKajI hope lan networking is fixed as well...had none in Karmic with either machine (both Karmic)13:52
GobiTheGoblinNow I am good to go. Irssi installed *check*, wlan guide in handy *check*, freetime *check*, 2nd laptop for emergencies *check*. Yes, I am officially good to go13:53
eagles0513875BluesKaj: i had a weird issue with grub 2 for some reason13:53
eagles0513875after putting it on an efi partition that im guessing boot camp or something makes boot camp doesnt detect my linux partition13:53
eagles0513875this is on a clean install of karmic alpha 513:53
GobiTheGoblindo you know btw any good small linux usb boot image... as in under >128MB13:55

GobiTheGoblinMichalxo: Sounds perfect, ty13:59
BluesKajhmm, that was one of the quicker reboots I've seen14:00
eagles0513875GobiTheGoblin: there is a usb creator though to do that14:00
GobiTheGoblineagles0513875: I know, tough a while ago, it didn't work right (in karmic)14:00

jtheuerHi, In Karmic I have this issue: When I start konqueror I just get: konqueror: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkonquerorprivate.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN19KonqHistoryProvider16staticMetaObjectE Any idea which lib is missing?14:02
eagles0513875you shouldnt be missing anything for konqueror as its installed by default14:02
eagles0513875wow 40packages to update O_o14:02
sjokkisserious question. why did someone break pulse?14:04
Dr_Willissjokkis:  its working here.. but ive not rebooted yet. :)14:05
eagles0513875sjokkis: nobody broke it these breakages are expected during the development phase14:05
BluesKajheh , had 304 here , but that's cuz reinstalled the kernel only , all the rest of my data was untouched14:05
* eagles0513875 impatiently waits for alpha 614:05
eagles0513875nice BluesKaj :)14:05
Dr_WillisYou ask it as if you are thinking 'Some mean person purposuly broke the software'14:05
Dr_Willis:)14:05
jtheuereagles0513875: yes, I agree, I shouldn't get this error ;-)14:05
sjokkiseagles0513875: aren't things supposed to converge towards a state where everything works? it seems counterproductive to break something now when it has worked for the past several months14:05
jtheuerbut how can I fix it?14:05
eagles0513875sjokkis: ya but there is still time to get things fixed14:06
eagles0513875alpha 6 should be out today and on the 24th sept we should be at beta phase14:06
sjokkissure, but you said this is to be expected. i'm disagreeing. this shouldn't have happened14:06
eagles0513875jtheuer:  not sure :(14:06
Dr_Willissome would say that Pulse has 'not' worked for the past several months.  its had lot of issues  in 9.0414:06
eagles0513875well sinc ei have to sensor my language stuff happens that is out of any ones control14:06
sjokkisDr_Willis: i would say that pulse has never worked. but at least i've had audio14:06
Dr_WillisI have no audio issues in 9.04 or 9.10  - except that sound popping  annoyance..14:07
BluesKajeagles0513875, the trick is to use manual partitoning  placing / on the original partition only14:07
* eagles0513875 impatiently waits for alpha614:07
Dr_WillisI got to reboot.. lets see if the updates broke stuff. :)14:07
Dr_Willisbrb14:07
eagles0513875BluesKaj: i have been doing that yet it still doesnt work14:07
eagles0513875im gonna try the regular install method and using alternate as a last resort14:07
BluesKajright , that may work for you14:07
eagles0513875it didnt work for alpha 5 so im hoping 6 will14:08
Dr_WillisHeh - thats not a good sign.. First reboot after updates.. and it says  my partiion has an error and to run fsck manually.14:13
Dr_Willisfluke? or bug..14:13
GobiTheGoblinDr_Willis: For that tinylinux, That ancient USB that i remembered that I had, was only 32MB :D14:14
eagles0513875Dr_Willis: it does that for me on my vm14:14

eagles0513875wow dr0pknutz14:18
eagles0513875whoops wrong person14:18
eagles0513875wow Dr_Willis14:18
cjwatsonsjokkis: I think any realistic software developer will tell you that sometimes the process of fixing one set of problems can involve accidentally creating others (we'd all love it to be otherwise, and everyone does their best to avoid regressions, but they happen); the best response is to file bugs to let people know that it's broken for you, since it's entirely possible that it's not broken for everyone14:18
eagles0513875cjwatson: exactly14:19
Dr_Willisheh - well i think the term 'disaster' is now here. :) It wants me to manually fsck every ext4 parition.. it drops to the recovery console14:19
Dr_Willisbut thekeyboard dont work! :)14:20

eagles0513875:)14:23
eagles0513875Dr_Willis: it wont hurt to run fsck but i have found in some regards like on windows that running it fixes some random issues14:23
Dr_Williseagles0513875:  well it wont even boot.. says filesystems bad.. fsck failed with error 414:24
Dr_Willistried  the older kernel also.. same issue14:24

o_portista17Hello, i have the following error while trying to start my linux, i perform the login, but it doesn't start the X, if i try to start it manually, it kills the X, and if i do an update "sudo apt-get update" i have the following error: "Failed to open connection to "system" message bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory15:45
o_portista17E: Problem executing scripts APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success '/usr/bin/dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.PackageKit --type=method_call /org/freedesktop/PackageKit org.freedesktop.PackageKit.StateHasChanged string:'cache-update''15:45
o_portista17E: Sub-process returned an error code"15:45
o_portista17ups, sorry for the flood ;x15:45
Dr_Willis_Hmm.. usb keyboard/mouse notworking here either now :()15:45
Dr_Willis_in the console at least. :) havent made it to X yet.15:46
aciculaGobiTheGoblin: either, not sure if you can use wifi to connect to the phone15:47
Machtincould i consider it 'safe' (i mean.. it's still alpha) if i reinstall karmic alpha 5 and upgrade then?15:47
Machtinbecause i'm not able to get my system back running.. even with livecd+chroot.15:48
GobiTheGoblinacicula: I think there is a software for s60 that enables 3g broadband sharing via wlan...15:49
aciculaGobiTheGoblin: nice, though for umts i think bluetooth 2.0 +EDR is sufficient15:50
aciculaat least i never went over 200kb/s via usb15:51
GobiTheGoblinacicula: That is faster =]15:51
aciculaGobiTheGoblin: and with wlan and umts going at the same time the battery will be dead even sooner15:51
aciculaGobiTheGoblin: yeah but i rarely get that kind of speed, 60% of the time the best you get is GPRS anyway15:52
sunshinepantsanyone running latest amd64 build?  or N-1?15:52
aciculaN-1?15:52
sunshinepantsacicula: "previous build, 1 build back"15:53
GobiTheGoblinacicula: hope that new version has support for your N97, it is nice to be mobile15:53
aciculaGobiTheGoblin: the old version had :P15:54
BWARGis the upgrade here?15:56
gnomefreakok fine ill ask. BWARG what upgrade?15:59
BWARGthe karmic alpha 615:59
mac_vanyone know how to start the "Force Quit" applet from the terminal?15:59
dingsunshinepants, i run 64 from upgrade (ext3) last update for kernel yesterday and reboot, running fine so far16:00
gnomefreakBWARG: no A6 has not been released yet. if you are on Karmic already you dont have to do anything but updates to progress with versions16:00
Roxyhi, since yesterday i cant start gdm or hal(problems) its now fixed? how i can fix my eee pc?16:00
mac_vwell actually , i want to add the force quit to the cairo-dck16:00
BWARGah i see16:00
sunshinepantsding: have you ever seen problems in the past with stability?  filesystems going read-only due to errors, etc?16:01
dingsunshinepants, not so far16:01
cjwatsoneagles0513875: Canonical's offices may be in London, but that doesn't mean the people responsible for releases are based in any one particular place16:02
Picimac_v: its the executable is xkill iirc16:02
cjwatsoneagles0513875: we're all over the place16:02
eagles0513875i know16:02
sunshinepantsding: I have, I guess it's this laptop.. even with jaunty amd64.. ugh.16:02
dingsunshinepants, any particuar app?16:03
dingsunshinepants, mostly irc and ff here16:03
cjwatsonMachtin: people obsess way too much about which timezone we're in - it's not relevant, we don't schedule to the hour16:03
Dr_Willis_Every time somneone asks when its to be released.. it gets pushed back an Hour., :)16:04
dingsunshinepants, and the 64 jaunty is solid (main box)16:04
GobiTheGoblinDr_Willis: That way the 10.04 is released before this alpha 6 :P16:04
sunshinepantsding: no, it's happened with console-only, I've always assumed it was a kernel prob.. good to know I might not have problems on future laptops though..16:04
Roxynobody can help? hmpf16:04
GobiTheGoblinRoxy: I suggest you wait16:05
mac_vPici: ooooh! nice , that works too ;) ... but that does not give a confirmation... and the man page doesnt give any option , is there anyway to make it ask for confirmation?16:05
Picimac_v: I'm unsure sorry, and I only have ssh access at the moment so I can't play with it.16:06
mac_vhehe ;)16:06
dingsunshinepants, not many bad issues here, 64 jaunty has be fine forever, 64 karmic boxen are just test beds16:06
mac_vno probs16:06
GobiTheGoblinRoxy: When the new version is released, maybe it helps, if not, then there is more point thinking where is the problem16:06
dingsunshinepants, but no ext4 for me yet16:07
Roxyi can not go to the internet with my pc, so some body knows, the name of the "broken" package to download and install with usb-stick?16:08
sunshinepantsding: same thing has happened with ext3, so I think ext4 is safe there..16:08
jetienneq. is there a page on the update issue from 2days ago ?16:09
dingsunshinepants, eee901 with reiserFS choked yesterday, scared me away from filesystem upgrades16:09
dingsunshinepants, but that's elive/compiz (unstable) anyway16:10
sunshinepantsding: elive is the enlightenment based distro?16:11
dingsunshinepants, yeah, old 2nd place favorite to ubu's16:11
dingsunshinepants, like opengeu16:12
sunshinepantsding: I was all about E 16 before beryl/compiz16:13
dingsunshinepants, 17 is much nicer (artsy)16:13
Dr_Willis_E16 the window manager that used to be UBER-heavy years ago.. and now is considered Uber-light :)16:14
sunshinepantssunshinepants: do you follow their dev?  what does the future hold?16:14
Dr_Willis_E seems to reinvent itself every 2+ years..16:14
dinglol at doc16:14
sunshinepantsding: I mean16:14
jetienneq. is there a page on the update issue from 2days ago ?16:14
gnomefreakwas 17 ever released?16:15
Dr_Willis_I recall a few years back when E was the big heavy nasty desktop that had all the eye candy and crashed a lot...16:15
Dr_Willis_now its 'lighter' :) with eyecandy .. and lots of crashes...16:15
Dr_Willis_it has gotten less crashy last i checked it.16:15
RoxyGobiTheGoblin: do you know the broken/buggy package of yesterday16:15
dingDr_Willis, like lxde i'm playing with, someone was saying it's a neverending cycle new cool light wm gets bogged down with features, and the cycle starts over and over again16:16
Dr_Willis_I was toying with ltwm (i think) it has the sideways titlebar (on the left side, not the top) ;)16:17
Dr_Willis_jwm, ltwm,  are 2 of the lightest ive tried lately.16:17
Dr_Willis_but whats the poinbt of using a light window manager,,. then spending hours tweaking it to add back the styuff you wanted :)16:18
dinglubuntu isn't quite ready yet, so i was trying eeebuntu lxde16:18
Dr_Willis_jwm dosent even have a 'system tray' by default. Ya have to embed an appin the panel.16:18

RagnarokAngelwell before you do that can you try running startx?16:22
RagnarokAngelI think we have teh same issue16:22

maccam944ummmmmm what happened to gdmsetup? How do I change my gdm theme now?17:11
maccam944i mean, granted, the old app was ugly and overcomplicated, but the new one has almost zero functionality17:14
mac_vmaccam944: you cant ;)17:14
* maccam944 is checking if gnome art manager can work some magic17:14
mac_vmaccam944: the zero functionality gdm setup is done from an Ubuntu initiative ;)17:15
maccam944i got that lol17:15
Michalxomac_v, why?17:20
Michalxowhy does ubuntu again ties users hands?17:20
mac_vMichalxo: actually ubuntu is providing atleast the minor functionality... upstream had no options!17:21
Michalxowhat? why do they do that?17:21
robin0800maccam944: see custimisation under the theme tab17:22
maccam944robin0800: that doesn't cover the GDM login screen17:22
mac_vMichalxo: this version was out for nearly a year , but ubuntu did not adopt the upstream version and had been putting it off... but since the next release might be LTS  we have adopted it and adding functions as it progresses ;)17:23
robin0800you might have to google for that its called xsplash17:23
maccam944robin0800: i'm not talking about the xsplash17:24
mac_vrobin0800: xsplash is different too ;)17:24
Michalxomac_v, 9.10 is going to be LTS?17:24
maccam944i no17:24
maccam944*no17:24
maccam94410.04 i think17:24
mac_vMichalxo: karmic+1 *might* be LTS17:24
bp0is alpha6 released today?17:24
Michalxoah.. might? has to, right?17:25
mac_vMichalxo: LTS depends on how fast gnome3 matures ,17:25
Michalxoah17:25
Michalxolooking forward to it :)17:26
_markus__hey Michalxo , were you able to fix your system?17:26
Michalxo_markus__, me not? it did automatically after reboot :)17:26
mac_vMichalxo: well you fixed it ;p , *you* did the reboot  ;p17:27
Michalxobut I was prepared to everything... except normal boot and all functionality :) apart from my keyboard bug17:27

Michalxowell.. 2 times reboot not worked at all :D17:27
Cynthiaaliendude5300: my iso transfer yesterday ended as you quit with no error, ping me when you can accept a resume transfer17:27

Michalxolater17:30
Machtincjwatson: meaning might be gmt+12, right? :)17:32
Machtinreinstalled btw.. and it broke again.17:33
Machtinthough it booted once.. might be related to nvidia (though last time i deinstalled it.. so rather not), gparted, vim, ssh, lvm2, cryptsetup or pidgin :)17:34
Machtinoh.. or opera.17:34
gnatahi. is upstart/boot sequence in a better shape today?17:51

ihjaskhashttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicKoala/TechnicalOverview#Download%20Alpha%206 ?17:57
DanaGweird... my boot is now significantly slower than it used to be.17:58
DanaGI have very high disk usage, and very low throughput.17:58
Cynthiaihjaskhas: that seems to be a draft of the Alpha6 page17:58
ihjaskhasoks17:58
Cynthiaihjaskhas: no links work (yet! :)17:58
ihjaskhasclose though i would imagine17:59
CynthiaIt should be up either later today GMT, or tomorrow17:59
robin0800I think perhaps they are fixing some bugs18:00
DanaG"Putting the root filesystem on iSCSI is now supported. "18:02

Cynthiabut are they delaying the alpha: maybe18:06
DanaGhmm, how would I un-slowify my boot?18:07
DanaGyeah, I know that's a really bad fake-word.18:07
xmnttrying to install karmic alpha 5 - get the blank screen after boot ... tried safe graphics mode - no love - anything ideas beside alternate install ... connect here is really slow and dl's take about a day to get18:07
CynthiaDanaG: but it's a to-the-point fakeword18:07
Cynthiaeven though we don't know what's slow in your boot yet18:08
Machtin https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicKoala/TechnicalOverview#Download%20Alpha%206 it's not fair that these don't work.18:12

Dr_Williseverytime some one asks when it will be out - they push it back another hour18:14

DanaGThat's not the issue.18:22
DanaGIt's just that it takes a really annoyingly long time to log into gnome... and the total time has actually increased, since the boot process is trying to do more at once.18:22
StevenMyersQuestion for the day: When installing Xampp (lampp) on your webserver, and it goes to the /opt directory how do you get it to show up on http://localhost ?18:26
David-Tconfigure your webserver appropriately?18:28
StevenMyersShouldn't be that hard, just extract (copy) to /opt and load localhost18:28
StevenMyersXampp has it's own apache, mysql and proftp running when starting it18:28
PiciStevenMyers: Use the suggestions you got in #ubuntu, which was to not use 3rd party lamp stacks like xampp, and use the packages in our repositories.18:29
StevenMyersI blocked that option as it doesn't provide any use for me.18:29
David-Tuh?18:29
StevenMyersI disregarded terminal command use and need more gui18:30
StevenMyersI'm hands on, not type it up.18:30
PiciStevenMyers: Are you running Karmic even?18:30
StevenMyersYes18:30
David-Tif you need support running xampp, speak to xampp?18:30
CynthiaThen the #ubuntu channels are not really for you - try finding the xampp channel18:30
Cynthiaa channel #xampp exists here, you could try that18:30

CynthiaTeLe: notify-osd18:39
Smeuuhhahaha :)18:39
DanaGI like PulseAudio, actually.18:40
Smeuuhbtw, about alpha 6 : I'm on alpha5, does that mean that if I apt-get upgrade in a reasonable timeframe just after the release of alpha 6 I'll get stable-ish packages, or not ?18:40
CynthiaBut there's already something in the works for audio after Pulse, which is libsydney -- a library that promises to unify the Linux sound stack... did anyone hear that phrase before, "unify the Linux sound stack"? :P18:40
TeLeim planning on doing a clean install18:41
TeLeprobably the best bet18:41
DanaGlibsydney... that's a library, not a sound server.18:41
xmntI'm a fan of pulseaudio - I don't do anything special but it handles my 5.1 and mic just fine18:41
DanaGI use it because I have a bluetooth headset, and I use multiple audio devices.18:41
DanaGMusic and videos to offboard speakers, web audio and system stuff to onboard.18:41
PiciSmeuuh: You'll get the same packages that are in alpha618:41
SmeuuhCynthia: you must be kidding18:41
CynthiaPulseAudio was hopelessly broken in the start of Karmic alpha5, but now it's better18:42
CynthiaAnd I said "something" in the works - that's not necessarily a sound server18:42
xmntit worked fine for me since alpha218:42
eagles0513875it would be interesting in seeing jack take over as the audio server18:42

DanaGbah, I never did manage to figure out how to use Jack.18:43
SmeuuhCynthia: yeah, don't tell me it's yet another layer ?18:43

RagnarokAngelwell if the releases from yesterday are any indication don't hold your breath -- they broke tons of stuff18:48
RagnarokAngelI can't even boot up now18:49
DanaGoh yeah, and Flash also steals tab focus, and won't give it back.18:49
DanaGThat's really, really, really bad for accessibility.18:49
Nafaiflash is just really bad in general18:49
om26erduncan: the last one also released late in the day18:49
Nafaitoo bad I like watching video on the net18:49
DanaGI mean, imagine if you have to use keyboard only.... and your keyboard focus gets stuck in a Flash object.  You're screwed!18:49
om26erduncan: but was released at this time of the day18:49
duncanom26er, thanks18:50

webbb82im about to download alpha 6 any new improvements on it18:55

xmntwebbb82, i don't think its out yet is it?18:55
xmntwebbb82, the links were all dead for me18:56

om26ermapet: not exactly18:57
webbb82i cant find the link to where the download page will be for the alphas and dailys18:58
om26ermapet: for me it have only few bugs and ferforms well (for me)18:58
JanCom26er: flash alpha can use the GPU but they disable it on most cards because they are too stupid to test correctly for the needed features...18:58
om26erhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/18:59

GobiTheGoblinom26er: Why's that? Too much problems with Emphaty?19:04
om26erGobiTheGoblin: pidgin is simple actually19:04
JanCwebbb82: Moblin is Intel's mobile linux platform19:04
duncanom26er, I just wish pidgin had video support and wouldn't crash 50% of the time when it tries to open webmail through firefox19:04

om26eris there any better window manager to replace compiz19:09
wastrelmetacity19:09
duncanom26er, what is compiz doing?19:10
duncanwastrel, I find I get annoying delays when using metacity switching windows19:10
om26erwastrel: not mentioned i don't wanna loose effect and want good video playback19:10
om26erduncan: what u mean\19:10
duncanom26er, in compiz I get instantaneous window switching with alt tabbing, however with metacity I seem to get about a 1/4 second or so delay, so when doing something where rapidly switching windows doing analysis work or something, it starts to bug me alot19:11
om26erduncan: i too have the same case19:12
om26ermetacity-compositing makes video choppy worse than compiz19:13
duncanom26er, yeah, they have a long way to go developing compositing for metacity19:13
duncanom26er, you might be able to use xfwm in gnome, not sure how much effort it would take19:14
duncanxfce has some decent effects and takes few resources19:14
DopeGhotiis α6 still dropping today?19:14
DaemonaxAnyone here have any ideas as to how many more hours till the release of alpha 6? Just wondering if I should sleep or not.19:15
om26erduncan: the window border of xfce are not good19:16
om26erDaemonax: sleep and check the next day19:17
duncanom26er, to my knowlege that's all the compositing window managers, aside form kwin19:17
nonix4Karmic inside a VM repeatedly complains about "end_request: I/O error, dev vda, sector 0" - is that a know problem and is it dangerous?19:17
om26erduncan: metacity look professional and compiz needs some realtime development19:19
om26ernonix4: chech launchpad19:20
duncanom26er, yeah, hopefully compiz 1.0 does some good work19:20
Padso ubuntu 9.10 is screwed?19:21
om26erPad: no19:21
om26erPad: try it19:21
duncanPad, it's still alpha, things will break :)19:21
Padi read somewhere that someone upload a patch that screwed the most recent alpha19:22
om26eri have seen that ubuntu moblin remix daily cd was last created on 14th so is the development stopped?19:22
DopeGhotiPad: from what I have seen, things were a touch chaotic yesterday, but that seems settled now.19:22
om26erPad: omg19:23
om26erPad: where did u read that?19:23
nonix4om26er: hmm, didn't spot it mentioned on launchpad, but google says fedora users have noticed the same issue19:23
Padwhy? it's not true?19:23
cjwatsonPad: we landed some substantial changes to the boot process, and the landing was a little rough. "somebody uploaded a patch that screwed the most recent alpha" is (a) inaccurate (the alpha isn't out yet, and we got the worst of the problems fixed first) and (b) a somewhat childish oversimplification :)19:24
om26ernonix4: what u talkin abt19:24
Cynthiaom26er: Please speak English in this room19:26
cjwatsonom26er: moblin> no, automatic CD builds were just frozen in preparation for alpha 619:26
nonix4om26er: hmm, was "<om26er> nonix4: chech launchpad" misdirected? :) that end_request: msg from Karmic inside a VM19:26

martinx_guys, the Karmic alpha6 will be delayed? The alpha5 does not run on my HP server... thanks!19:26

cjwatsonPad: the bulk of the problems have been cleared up, although some people are still having problems19:28
om26eri read on a website that ubuntu is re-thinking to bring back pidgin. was it ever being considered19:30
duncan*sigh* if I can't seem to get evolution to work properly with google calendar i'm going to have to start syncing a local calendar over ubuntu one19:32
duffydackom26er, nothing stopping you using it anyway..  I personally think empathy is a step backwards...19:33
mac_vcjwatson: inspite of alpha 6 not being released , if we are running alpha5  , we can update and get all the updates in alpha6, right?19:33
om26erduffydack: does default application mean anthing to u?19:33
duffydackom26er, no, I dont use windows.19:33
duncanhere is a question, are they going to port over some of the pidgin integration to empathy, such as contact import in evolution?19:33
cjwatsonmac_v: sure, as normal19:34
graingertWhen can we pre-order cd's from ShipIt?19:34
mac_vthanks :)19:34
duffydackom26er, I remove a few "default" apps when I install ubuntu.19:34
om26erduffydack: that's ur problem19:34
om26erduffydack: all that matters is what comes out of the box19:35
duffydackom26er, ?  I dont recall mentioning a problem.. what are you trying to say exactly.19:35
om26erduffydack: nothing,19:35
mac_vom26er: empathy stays , no pidgin for new installs ,but for upgrading usrs pidgin will not be removed19:35
jcolewe have hundreds of network printers.. and with ubuntu jaunty, i could go to add printer to see all the network printers and easily select the one i want... but with karmic, it *only* shows the model now and no longer the ip, so i have no idea which printer im selecting since the same model is all throughout the network... how do i show the ip like jaunty used to do so i can select the right printer?19:36
blueyedThe boot process isn't logged anywhere still, is it? (so I could see why /etc/init/cryptdisks has not been started)19:38
jcoleive browsed every option in the printer configuration gui and cant seem to find it out how to re-enable the ip... do i have to dtrop to a prompt and edit cups config files? or is there something hidden in gconf?19:39
om26eris ubuntu moblin remix gonna be an every 6month release?19:40

tobixenit wasn't an issue with jaunty21:19
hexai exeperienced that as well21:19
hexai killed pa then, waited till it restarted and it worked again21:20
hexafor the next track/movie/whatsoever21:20
tobixenI just did ^C on mplayer and restarted it21:20
hexaon the next track the cpu usage of pa would spike21:20
td123hmm, my alpha 5 installation just died after an upgrade and I just booted into it. perfect timing for alpha 6's release :)21:21
td123whenever a6 will be release21:22
nemoShame that there is absolutely no way FF3.7 will be in karmic21:26
nemosince the mozilla guys finally enabled 64 bit support for tracemonkey21:26
nemopretty sure they haven't enabled that in 3.6 though :-/21:26
td123nemo: no thanks, after what happened with firefox on 9.04...21:26
hexathat was indeed canoncials fault21:27
hexathe whole shiretoko renaming crap21:27
td123I don't think we should be using beta software in a release21:27
nemoyeah, I guess.21:28
nemostill. means that either the 64 bit guys put up with javascript that is like 5x slower21:28
nemoor else use 32 bit builds21:28
hexashiretoko in 9.04 was a bad idea, i agree21:29
td123nemo: so what if it's 5x slower, it probably sums up to like a 100 ms difference. :P21:29
nemotd123: makes quite a bit more difference than that on actual web apps21:29
diwickarmic does not start gdm anymore :(21:29
nemotd123: also increased use of <canvas> pretty much requires something like TM to be useable21:30
diwicthe first sign is udev saying something about "symlink key"21:30
aciculanemo: no backports for 3.7? and why does one want tracemonkey?21:30
td123nemo: at least for me, speed is the last thing I look at in a browser.21:30
diwicnext, init cannot connect to dbus...21:30
diwicany clues?21:31
td123diwic: check if dbus is running21:31
nemotd123: well. it is noticeable.  obviously most web apps still support IE21:31
nemoso the only difference is smooth and instantaneous movements vs stuttery ones21:31
nemobut things like google wave absolutely demand JIT for JS21:31
diwictd123: it is not, so I'm starting it, then hal, then gdm (and then it starts), but the network is still broken21:32
diwictd123: there is a dmesg that networkmanager is segfaulting in libdbus.21:33
nemohttp://www.bailopan.net/blog/?p=59521:33
nemoblog discussing enabling of 64 bit tracemonkey21:33
td123nemo: just compile it and run it yourself (no one's stopping you) :)21:34
nemohttp://m8y.org/tmp/peacekeeper.jpeg - the difference between FF3 and FF3.5 is almost utterly due to TM21:34
nemotd123: I'm going to do that21:34
nemoI was just wishing others could benefit too21:34
nemobut obviously not goign to happen21:34
td123nemo: sometimes the disadvantages outweigh the advantages21:35
Hellmark[S10e]Anyone know what happened to the media device support in Amarok? 2.1.80 seems to be devoid of the ability to interface with media devices.21:35
td123nemo: I think the last thing that canonical wants is to get 1000 autogenerated crash reports from firefox on the release date :P21:36
nemoheh21:36
td123Hellmark[S10e]: are they mounted?21:36
td123I mean, is your device mounted :) misread that21:37

NoelJBDanaG, you've been paying attention to the theme issues.  Do you know if we're supposed to see anything new, yet?  I see that the new xsplash presentation is different, but I don't see anything new on the Gnome desktop.22:08
jhasfsomeone send shuttleworth an sms ; hes fallen asleep ;)22:08
TeLehttp://kanyelicio.us/http://www.ubuntu.com/22:08
DanaGhmm, I'm not sure what's going on.  the xsplash ppa had new artwork for a while, but then went back to the old artwork.22:08
NoelJBjhasf, well, it IS late there, and he works hard :-)22:09
NoelJBDanaG, I haven't been looking at that PPA, just the main for it.22:09
DanaGOddly enough, the latest PPA version isn't even installable.22:09
mac_vjhasf: shuttlework is on vacation till 21st ;)22:10
DanaGit has ubuntu-xsplash-artwork conflict with xsplash.22:10

mac_vi hate it! , i dont like the new xsplash!22:10
NoelJBnatewiebe13, mac_v but do you see any new artwork for gdm after boot?22:11
natewiebe13mac_v: totally agree22:11
natewiebe13no gdm artwork yet22:11
mac_vNoelJB: i dont think we'll see anything new :(22:11

NoelJBnatewiebe13, mac_v thanks.  I just wanted to confirm that I'm not missing something22:11
natewiebe13if only Mr.Doob could get in with the artwork team :(22:11

martinx_guys, the alpha6 have a more recent kernel or it is the same shipped with alpha5?!22:12
mrmcq2umore recent22:14
cdm10Hi -- where's Alpha 6? The link to the download page is broken :)22:15
aciculacdm10: it's not released22:15
Haegin_Hi, how do I get into recovery mode to reset my password in karmic? It doesn't give me the option on startup with grub222:16
cdm10well, someone jumped the gun with http://ubuntu.com/testing then. Oh well.22:16
aciculai'm sure it's comming soon22:16
* mac_v searching for a way to hack xsplash22:17
cdm10doesn't matter much, just thought I'd start my torrent up so it'll be there when I get home :)22:17
webbb82what makes the "ext4" filesystem  better then ext322:18
roffeAre you guys happy with Empathy replacing Pidgin?22:19
skdhjskdnot one bit22:19
cjwatsonguys, relax about alpha 622:19
skdhjskdgoodness what an awful messenger22:19
cjwatsonit's in preparation and will be released soon22:19
skdhjskdi still install pidgin22:19
cjwatsontake it easy22:19
cdm10cjwatson: who wasn't taking it easy?22:19
cjwatsonlots of people in scrollback :)22:19
cjwatson(before you joined)22:19
NoelJBroffe, <<shrug>> Both are available.  Pidgin has improved in most areas that people preferred about Empathy, but the real "win" with empathy is the programming framework.22:19
cjwatsoncdm10: updating /testing is part of the milestone release process22:20
webbb82i can imagine people will be stopping in more and more with the same question22:20
skdhjskdi couldnt even send a file in empathy :P22:20
cdm10grr. Empathy is... sorta a good direction, but still highly irritating.22:20
NoelJBroffe, so I'm ambivalent.  Doesn't matter to me what Canonical chooses for the default, since it is easy to install Pidgin.22:20
skdhjskdlet alone resize the chat window22:20
roffeskdhjskd, yeah that's what I thought. Well now that's it's the default IM I assume it'll rapidly look nicer22:20
cdm10skdhjskd: heh, I can't send files in Pidgin :) oh well.22:20
Haegin_cjwatson: are there any issues with udev that you know about at the moment?22:20
cjwatsoncdm10: we don't bother syncing everything up to the second for milestones22:20
skdhjskdcdm10, weirdly i can receive good, and usually the first file sends ok but after that i just email it ;)22:20
cjwatsonHaegin_: a couple of warning issues, but AFAIK most of the problems are actually elsewhere; but I'm not an expert22:21
cdm10blehhh. I don't like Empathy... but it's kinda a necessary evil, I suppose. Including it will drive development.22:21
cdm10Although, come on, make it as pretty as Pidgin please!22:21
skdhjskdhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/alpha-6/ has changed22:21
skdhjskd;)22:21
NoelJBI look at vinagre, the default VNC client, which I actually *do* care about.  and it certainly improved.  Thing sucked compared to any other VNC client when they first bundled it.22:22
skdhjskdany moment now22:22
cdm10NoelJB: still kinda sucks, you know.22:22
mrmcq2uI am resizing the chat window right now22:22
cdm10mrmcq2u: show-off :P22:22
NoelJBYes, but today, I have no problem (generally) using it as the default VNC client.22:22
NoelJBcdm10, what're your major gripes with vinagre now?22:22
skdhjskdmrmcq2u, where you enter your text? not receive22:22
skdhjskddidn't work for me22:22
cdm10NoelJB: I mean... the biggest irritation for me is that it insists on hiding the client pointer when you go over the window, even if you have no control22:23
mrmcq2uwhy the hell would you resize a text entry22:23
cdm10NoelJB: actually, I take that back, I haven't tried it in Karmic22:23
cdm10mrmcq2u: heh, everyone griped when Pidgin removed that :) I didn't particularly mind.22:23
Haegin_cjwatson: ok, thanks. I'm having some issues on one pc that arn't showing up on either of the other two pcs that are running it. The system with the problem also has been having major problems with soft lockups occuring on the CPU but they seem to have cleared up now. Know anything about that?22:23
mrmcq2udo you resize the text entry in firefox or complain that you cant?22:23
skdhjskdbecause i type long sentences and i want to see ALL that i type22:23
skdhjskdmrmcq2u, kiss my ass22:23
cdm10skdhjskd: does it not auto-resize?22:23
cjwatsonHaegin_: iirc soft lockups are a kernel issue, but sorry, this isn't really my field22:23
NoelJBcdm10, raise the issue with jonh.  For me, the biggest issue was always his atrocious keyboard handling, but that's mostly fixed.  Sufficient for my needs with emacs, et al.22:23
Haegin_cjwatson: that's ok, thanks for the help. Who should I ask about it if I continue to have problems?22:24
cdE|Woozycdm10, it does, up to 8 lines22:24
cjwatsonHaegin_: either #ubuntu-kernel or file a bug (they'd probably prefer the latter), I guess22:24
skdhjskdcdm10, let me install empathy to refresh my memory, but i dont like the client22:24
cdm10cdE|Woozy: seems like plenty.22:24
skdhjskdtook me a while to adjust to pidgin22:24
cdm10NoelJB: I think the idea behind it was to take, for example, vncviewer, and replace it with something that follows Gnome guidelines and stuff.22:24
cdm10NoelJB: Unfortunately, the actual VNC goodness suffered, although the UI certainly was pretty :)22:25
mrmcq2uI think the lack of a resizing text entry is a feature, its chat not a blog.22:25
skdhjskdmrmcq2u, isn't that what caused  developers to fork when pidgin was having the same issue?22:25
mrmcq2u:)22:25
mrmcq2uyup22:26
TeLehttp://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha622:26
cdm10pidgin developers are... interesting.22:26
skdhjskdits the little things i guess22:26
mrmcq2uthat was the worlds most pointless fork22:26
NoelJBcdm10, don't forget the AVAHI integration, which I take advantage of often.22:26
mrmcq2uor so the blogger sphere pointed out22:26
skdhjskdnone must have g/fs cause they wont add cam support ;)22:26
cdm10NoelJB: oh, that's catually great22:26
cdm10skdhjskd: thought they just did22:26
cdm10I mean, they make a pretty great product... but... have you ever tried talking to them?22:26
skdhjskdfor what gtalk?22:27
cdm102.6.1 adds XMPP Voice and Video but not on Windows-22:27
skdhjskdor jabber clients i guess22:27
mrmcq2u@ skdhjsd - lol22:27
skdhjskdmost are waiting for yahoo or msn cam support22:28
mrmcq2uyeah but empathy supports xmpp google talk and msn voice/video now22:28
skdhjskdif m$ buy yahoo im deleting my yahoo id22:28
mrmcq2uand file transfers have also been fixed22:28
cdm10do file transfers work across XMPP pidgin-to-pidgin yet?22:28
skdhjskdmrmcq2u, are you sure it supports msn voice/video22:29
cdm10I can do pidgin-to-empathy, but not pidgin-to-pidgin :)22:29
mrmcq2um$ cant buy yahoo, neither can google or the eu would be down on them like a tonne of bricks about antitrust22:29
skdhjskd2.6.2?22:29
skdhjskdoh empathy22:29
mrmcq2uskdhjskd - yes22:29

mrmcq2uits recent22:29

ubottucdm10, please see my private message22:30
mrmcq2uthere has been a request to exempt the new msn voice/video from feature freeze22:31
NoelJBskdhjskd, the other day?  I don't see anything newer than late August (https://developer.skype.com/LinuxSkype/)22:31
cdm10There's a plugin for Pidgin to remote-control Skype, but it doesn't ACTUALLY support the skype protocol22:31
skdhjskd2.1 is new to me :)22:31
NoelJBskdhjskd, ah, I've been running it since the day it was released.22:32
mrmcq2ucdm10 there is also a plugin for telepathy/empathy to remote control skype22:32
skdhjskdNoelJB, how long has it been out22:32
NoelJBsince late August.22:32
skdhjskdit doesnt provide an auto-update feature22:32
roffeThere are alpha 6 iso's on ubuntu's webpage, but I thought it wasn't released yet22:32
NoelJBskdhjskd, did you get it from Skype or medibuntu?22:32
skdhjskdroffe, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/alpha-6/ is empty22:32
skdhjskdNoelJB, www.skype.com22:32
roffeskdhjskd, ah, that explains it22:33
mrmcq2uI have a funny feeling telepathy supports skype in some private branch somewhere, take a look at the n900 to see where I am getting the idea.. It uses telepathy for its contact manager and skype is one of the available protocols22:33
skdhjskdroffe, interesting enough that you can still go to skype mode in the linux version but they disabled it in the latest winblows one22:33
skdhjskddoh that was for NoelJB22:34

skdhjskdwaiting for a torrent though..22:35
NoelJBcdm10, I've seen the webcam flash as an visual indicator of an audio event.22:35
cdm10NoelJB: never had that happen for me... does Skype have a flash-based video chat on their website or something?22:36

BUGabundoI'm on 64bits22:55

roffeMichalxo, And you haven't encountered any greater problems than you would in 32-bit?22:56
hexaMichalxo i mean it is not like you could find anything if you hadn't got a clue what the programs are called for example22:56
GobiTheGoblinDoes this mean it is released? http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha622:56

hexapulseaudio is broken atm though22:58
xmnti would rather use a torrent ... get like 1.5M/s down when i do ... right now i'm downloading it and getting ~400M/s22:58
GobiTheGoblinhexa: how it is working? what platform?22:58
webbb82me tooo im going to log off irc maybe itll speed ujp22:58
xmntirc should matter ... not much bandwidth being consumed there22:59
roffeMichalxo, Ok, I guess I'll make another partition to try it out.22:59
xmntcorr.. irc shouldn't matter22:59
hexax86_6422:59
GobiTheGoblinhexa: nvidia?22:59
hexa8800gt22:59
GobiTheGoblinhexa: ty, ill have to try it too =)22:59
hexauhm23:01
hexayou shouldnt, really23:01
GobiTheGoblinI would love some technique that would integrate torrent with updates23:01
hexaagreed23:01
GobiTheGoblinhexa: how so?23:01
hexathere are some annoying bugs23:01
td123google torrent to see advantages23:01
hexasound not working23:02
xmntw/ updates ... don't see the point, maybe it would go a little faster, but torrent takes a bit to get ramped up23:02
hexapulseaudio spikes cpu23:02
hexanautilus freezes23:02
hexayeah well23:02

GobiTheGoblinhexa: are they still crushing last minute bugs?23:02
hexauhm23:02
hexathis is alpha623:02
hexanot rc-ish at all23:03
BUGabundohexa: still an alpha23:03
BUGabundoan remember, after Feature Freeze this is *always* like that23:03
GobiTheGoblinhexa: I do know that =) I meant like that nvidia bug like bugs?23:03
hexahavent seen any nvidia related bugs23:03
GobiTheGoblinhexa: Like, is it working better than alpha 523:04
hexanot really23:04
hexaI mean in every alpha stages different things are fixed and other get broke23:04
hexait is not like you could say it works better23:04
hexaas with alpha6 sound disappeared for a lot of people23:05
hexasee bug #394500 for example23:05
ubottuLaunchpad bug 394500 in pulseaudio "[Karmic] processes holding /dev/dsp* or /dev/snd/pcm* cause "pulseaudio: card not found - Null Output / Dummy Output"" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/39450023:05
hexait is minor, but still annoying :P23:05
sajihi... Why is karmic changing to Empathy?23:05
BUGabundosaji: already did MANY months ago23:06
sajiMy questions is why?23:06
crimsunhexa: it's also minor because there's a known reason for _other_ processes breaking the functionality of PA23:06
hexasaji because it integrates more nicely into the GNOME desktop23:06
xmntsaji, why does it matter ... don't like it install pidgin23:07
GobiTheGoblinwell I go for it anyway, if it wont work, ill have another tour of learning waiting for me23:07
hexacrimsun: I do understand that completely, though this is a point I would not recommend people to upgrade to alpha6 to try out things23:07
sajiWell . i'm asking this because i heard that you're doing it due to Video and voice support.23:07
hexamany people will stick to pidgin23:08
hexapidgin is still a great instant messanger23:08
hexawhich supports otr, which empathy doesnt btw :)23:08
sajiAnd Empathy, doesn't show new chat lines as popup, near the status bar. Then how come you say it integrates better in GNOMe.23:09
DopeGhotisaji: video/voice/that in Empathy (and Empathy being a part of GNOME) is part of it, from what I understand; lack of inclusive development of pidgin is another.23:09
xmntsaji, it will take a while before empathy has the support pidgin does now, but they're aiming for a better long term solution that pidgin can provide23:09
hexasaji check the roadmap dude :)23:09
DopeGhotione of the benefits of emapthy is the telepathy back-end23:09
crimsunhexa: well, that would defeat the purpose of rolling an alpha...23:09
sajiBut Pidgin, new version supports  video and sound. I'm using it now..:)23:09
hexacrimsun it is not like most people would do bug reports anyway23:10
hexaso why bother23:10
sajiAnd Pidgin, supports lot more protocols, isn't it?23:10
hexathey're just checking out what is actually new23:10
hexasaji there is nothing better for empathy than a lot of beta tester :P23:11
crimsunhexa: not to belabour the point, but there are quite a few new filed bug reports23:11
NoelJBsaji, the main reason is, AIUI, beause empathy also provides a programming framework.23:11
hexacrimsun I just believe that people who are asking how things work out are not quite aware of their decision to upgrade23:11
sajiAIUI, means Artificial Intelligence?23:11
NoelJBAs I Understand It23:12
sajiEmpathy, doesn't show new chat lines as popup, near the status bar. Then how come you say it integrates better in GNOMe?23:12

hexasaji it is a work in progress, it is still quite young23:12
xmnthaha, an AI chat client ... sweet ... will it work for me?23:12
xmntwill it be my friend?23:12
hexasaji there have been hell of a lot of discussions as to why the change to empathy was made23:12
sajiNoelJB, can you tell AIUI What's it actually. In an understandable way..23:13
hexae.g. google "why choose empathy over pidgin"23:13
Michalxosaji, just sudo apt-get install pidgin :)23:13
hexaagreed23:13
MichalxoI am using gajim and I am fine :P23:13
sajiWell i'm not talking for myself only..:) Michlxo23:13
saji Well i'm not talking for myself only..:) Michlaxo23:14
Michalxosaji, that does not apply only to you :D23:14
hexaas I said, I'll stick to pidgin a little while longer, as I don't see the benefits in empathy atm, it feels more like some public beta.23:14
NoelJBsaji, I did!  AIUI == As I Understand It23:14
Michalxodefault empathy != losing availability of using something else (piding)23:14
sajiWhat's this As I understand it?23:14
Michalxopersonal opinion23:14
hexasaji it is an abbreviation?23:14
sajihexa.. I understood that its an abbreviation.. :P23:15
sajiSo you guys are gonna axe the well working Pidgin for a public Beta of Empathy.... That's pretty good..:)23:16
Michalxosaji, I don't like empathy too...23:16
Michalxobut it can be really powerful in future :) read discussion on google, ayatana etc.. ;)23:16
hexaayatana is not related to empathy imo23:17
DopeGhotiAs soon as ANY chat program in Linux supports google video chat, I will convert :p23:17
sajiWell, why can't it be integrated after it becomes powerful...:)23:17
hexaaytana covers notify-osd and message-indicator23:17
hexaDopeGhoti empathy already supports xmpp and msn videochat23:17
hexathey are progressing rather rapidly23:18

NoelJBOK, this is whacky ... why are the DVD images available with jigdo but NOT bittorrent?  http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/dvd/current23:18
DopeGhotihexa: Yes, but my contacta are on Google Talk, so MSN chat isn't interesting to me.23:19
hexaDopeGhoti but XMPP is23:19
Michalxosaji, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=AIUI :)23:19
hexaas Google Talk is based on the XMPP Protocol23:19
hexaalso known as Jabber23:19
DopeGhotihexa: yes, but, as I said, I'd like to use Google *Video* Chat in Linux.23:19
DopeGhotiI know that text works fine23:19
sajiMichalxo, thanks for that..23:19
DopeGhotiI've been using it for ages :)23:19
hexaDopeGhoti did you try empathy for that matter?23:19
DopeGhotiI did, in fact.23:20
sajiDopeghothi, now Pidgin supports that...23:20
QPrimeAlpha6 is out... lets see what breakage has been carried forward ;)23:20
Michalxobtw, why do you all need video chat? :)23:20
sajiin Google....23:20
DopeGhotisaji: Pidgin supports video? Please, enlighten me.23:20
hexaMichalxo it is this kind of must-have-feature for the younger generation :)23:20
hexathey won't change unless they are able to do this rather easily23:20
Michalxohexa, I am young too! :D23:20
hexaoh boy23:21
NoelJBMichalxo, questions like that are why traditional phone companies are less and less relevant in the modern world.23:21
Michalxohey! I want taht video chat too! gimme extra lollipop too :P23:21
hexadon't tell me you don't know about all that jailbait videos out there?23:21
sajiYep... Dopeghothi. the new version supports video..23:21
MichalxoNoelJB, well.. agree... socializing is "in big step" nowadays..23:21
DopeGhotisaji: does it interoperate with Google Video Chat?23:21

hexathis is what the dialoge currently looks like23:22
hexait should however go to something skype 4.0 like23:22
sajiDopeghoti, from Pidgin's homepage- "2.6.1 adds XMPP Voice and Video support (but not on Windows yet) "23:23

hexaif that'd happen this stuff could be really amazing23:23
roffewhat the hell, upgrading from 9.04 to alpha 6 takes 50 minutes :/23:23
* NoelJB is amused that for some downloads ubuntu only offers direct & jigdo, but there is no default jigdo support in ubuntu.23:23
hexaNoelJB I wonder why they offer dvds at all23:24
hexafor alpha releases23:24
hexaeverything works quite nicely off the cdrom23:24
NoelJBhexa, well *I* like 'em, but I can't comment on canonical's reasons.23:24
hexaNoelJB i personally dislike cd/dvd as apt sources, cause they are rather slow and never up2date23:25
BUGabundohexa: some one has to test DVDs too23:25
sajiGuys, Bye... But Empathy addition may turn out to be a bad idea... All the best... for you Empathy Beta testing.. :P23:25
hexasaji it won't :P23:26
DopeGhotihexa: saji Thanks for the links :)23:26
Trewasjigdo does not require any effort or space from mirrors, so it's "free" to offer it23:26
hexamy pleasure :)23:26
sajiDopeghoti, You're welcome... So what;s your say now.. Pidgin/Empathy?23:26
sajihexa, what won't?23:27
hexaturn out to be a bad idea of course23:27
DopeGhotiI still like the idea of the telepathy library, with the user's choice of interchangable front-end that empathy offers.  But for my needs, if I can get libjingle video working, I'll stick with Pidgin for the time being23:28
hexai personally am missing otr support within empathy, as i mentioned earlier23:30
sajiDopeGhoti, just install version 2.6.1 Pidgin. Your google video/voice chat'll work..23:30
BrairRabbianyone know why Karmic Koala live cd daily build, hangs in an endless loop, just as the boot music starts to play, x86 and AMD64 affected.23:30
hexait is not like they can expect people to change without support for privacy23:30
hexaBrairRabbi boot music? :D23:30
crimsunotr is hardly the only "support for privacy"23:30
sajihey.... What's otr?23:31
hexait is however one of the most common, in fact which does empathy support? to my knowledge none atm23:31
BUGabundocrimsun: and still everytime anyone critises empathy vs pidign they mention it :)23:31
hexaoff the record messaging, encrypted chats23:31
BrairRabbilive cd is stuck in endless loop during boot at the point music starts to play23:31
hexaprivacy matters more and more to people nowadays23:31
sajihexa....ok...23:32
BUGabundoBrairRabbi: did you check the MD5 of the iso, and of the burned media?23:32
crimsunBUGabundo: right, because we've never used openssl, openvpn, openssh, ... :)23:32
BUGabundo:)23:32
xmnthexa, I would say that only applies to a small percentage of people23:33
hexacrimsun: some of us did and do, but how do you explain non-nerds to use openssl or gpg :)23:33
hexaxmnt compared to like 10 years earlier the percentage has grown immensly23:34
xmntagreed, but it's still small23:34
hexaagreed, but it is still worth mentioning and it is still very important to many people23:34
BrairRabbiMD5 checked on both x86 and AMD64 builds it started doing this in the daily buildsw in last releases anyone else got this BUG23:35
hexathere were some pidgin user surveys, give ma sec23:35
sajihexa, shoot it... :D23:35
hexahttp://pidgin.im/survey/results/survey0summary.html23:35
hexa"Encrypted IM support is... "23:35
xmntagreed, me included ... but a majority don't consider it a priority, however it should be something that happens w/out the user having to intervene23:35
hexahey, agreed again23:36
xmntagreed23:36
hexaI do like mumble for example23:36
xmntso i guess we're in agreement?23:36
hexawe sure are23:36
hexamumble uses tls automatically, no way to turn it off :)23:36
sajihexa, what's mumble?23:37
BrairRabbianyone know why Karmic Koala live cd daily build, hangs in an endless loop,, x86 and AMD64 affected.23:37
hexasaji open source teamspeak :P23:37
hexaBrairRabbi you are repeating yourself23:37
hexaBrairRabbi have you verified the cds md5 hash?23:37
hexaxmnt the issue with encryption is that networks like icq or msn would never implement such a feature23:37
sajihaxa, i didn't get that. :)23:37
hexahttp://mumble.sourceforge.net/23:38
sajihexa, thanks...23:38
hexayour welcome23:38
TerminXI have a question about upstart... I haven't rebooted my karmic install in 186 days but I do daily upgrades (it's a daily usage desktop/workstation), obviously now it wants to replace sysvinit with itself but I just want to make sure I'm not going to have any problems since I don't plan on rebooting any time soon :p23:38
BUGabundoBrairRabbi: did you check the MD5 of the iso, and of the burned media?23:39
BUGabundohexa: doesn't seem like he wants to reply. just ask :(23:39
hexaTerminX well replacing system components in a bleeding-edge-version always brings inconsistencys with it, I wonder how your system did hold up that long anyway23:39
xmnthexa, your right, it increases app overhead and is too controversial in certain areas of the world23:39
hexaBUGabundo yep23:39
BrairRabbiDoes anyone else have this BUG using the test Builds I cant get into the OS one Machine is Toshiba laptop the other is a ASUS M2N32 DELUX MB23:40
hexaxmnt nah, it is all for economic reasons23:40
xmnthexa, how so?23:40
hexaxmnt they practically "own" what you type via their network, they evaluate, they make profit out of what you type23:40
TerminXhexa: ancient hardware with very mature drivers, a decent UPS and air conditioning :p23:40
BrairRabbiMD% is perfect23:40
hexathey wouldn't be able to do so if their traffic was encrypted23:40
hexaTerminX well if it is a desktop system there should  have been issues already :P23:41
BrairRabbiMD5 is correct23:41
TerminXthis installation itself is actually from 200223:41
TerminXit was a debian install done from a knoppix livecd23:41
xcdfgkjhgcvMy Karmic PCs are bootable again. :)23:41
TerminXwhen ubuntu came into existence I upgraded it to that23:41
hexaTerminX sweet23:41
hexaTerminX so why are you not rebooting?23:41
neonflxkarmic is not mounting my cd/dvd drive automatically, it is listed on fstab and i can manually mounted by using the mount command, why is it not mounting when i insert a cd/dvd in the drive? thx23:41
xcdfgkjhgcvSamba and RDP aren't working for me ATM. :(23:41
TerminXwell, I haven't changed any hardware or anything23:42
hexaneonflx: retry please23:42
hexaTerminX yeah but for stability reasons?23:42
BUGabundoBrairRabbi: try disabling ACPI23:42
TerminXif my system runs fine with half a year uptime, how would rebooting make it more stable? :p23:42
TerminXmy luck some updated boot script would just screw me23:43
neonflxhexa: retry? like eject/unmount the cd and insert the cd in the drive again?23:43
hexaneonflx yeah23:43
sajiwhere can i ask what's ACPI and APIC?23:43
hexaneonflx could've been a glitch23:43
BUGabundosaji: GOOGEl23:43
TerminXI do need to build a new kernel sometime soonish though, or at least I probably should23:44
hexasaji acpi basically handles the power management23:44
hexayeah prolly :P23:44
saji<BUGabundo>, thanks.... and its google....:)23:44
neonflxno it happens every time, does not matter what media i use the only way i can mount my drive is manually, it is listed on fstab, let me check what dmesg says23:44
BrairRabbiIve tried BOOT: live ACPI=off  its something new in last ferw builds dont work23:44
hexaneonflx well i believe hal was managing the automount feature23:45
GobiTheGoblinwell that update didn't start so well :P Crashed in middle of installation :P23:45
sajihexa, why does some installation need to keep it off.. i.e, ACPI=OFF?23:45
TerminXI knew some people way back when who had their uptime actually rollover23:45
BUGabundoBrairRabbi: does the alternate cd boot/install?23:45
hexaneonflx they migrated that particular feature to DeviceKit-disk, so it could be broken23:45
hexasaji crappy acpi support23:45
hexasaji on hardware side23:45
BUGabundosaji: bad BIOS with poor power or HW support23:45
AirBenderor old23:46
* TerminX knows all about crappy ACPI support23:46
sajioh..ok thanks hexa and BUGabundo..23:46
hexahehe23:46
TerminXI have a VIA KT133a chipset board23:46
TerminXit uses frickin SDRAM23:46
GobiTheGoblinVIA KT133a, oh those memories :P23:46
xcdfgkjhgcvTerminX: I'd rather apply kernel updates.23:46
neonflxhexa: umm yep it seems to be, i can manually mount it so i can get by right now, i was testing on my spare laptop, i will wait before start using it in my main laptop23:46
BrairRabbinever had the live cd get stuck like this before ,Im wondering  if its happened to anyone else that dowloaded the daily Builds23:46
hexawho actually does use hardware that is more than 10 years old :)23:46
GobiTheGoblinamd k6?23:46
hexaBrairRabbi you are not listening to any advices BUGabundo gives you.23:47
TerminXGobiTheGoblin: k723:47
hexaTerminX you know ksplice?23:47
hexahttp://www.ksplice.com/23:47
GobiTheGoblinTerminX, Speedy, isn't :D23:47
xcdfgkjhgcvhexa: It's too buggy.23:48
TerminXinteresting23:48
BrairRabbiI have only downloaded the live cd to test not to install23:49
TerminXxcdfgkjhgcv: I keep important stuff (outward facing servers) appropriately updated23:49
TerminXunfortunately with the more fast paced kernel development going on now a lot of breakage on older hardware like mine gets overlooked23:49
TerminXso it's a gamble sometimes whether a newer kernel will even boot23:49
TerminXlet alone function correctly23:49
hexaxcdfgkjhgcv good to know23:51
hexathough i do reboot every week or so23:51
hexahah, must love my vserver23:51
hexaseeded 12gb of the alpha6 torrents already23:51
webbb82ok i installed alpha6 and my broadcom wifi doesnt work, in hardware driver nothing comes up please help23:52
hexaI wonder when my host will contact me about that "free traffic" feature23:52
webbb82it worked in alpha 523:52
hexahehe23:52
hexadoesnt't work is not an actual error message, is it?23:52
TerminXGobiTheGoblin: it's not TOO bad for web browsing and IRC/IM/ssh crap, which is mostly what it gets used for... board is pin modded to run the CPU at a multiplier the chipset isn't even supposed to support, BIOS is modded with ROMSIP tables correctly identifying newer socket A processors than the board was meant for and the FSB is jacked up23:52
hexacheck if the proper module is loaded23:52
webbb82ok the bcm4312 isnt found by the ubuntu desktop software23:53
hexawebbb82 use the bash23:53
webbb82hexa, ???23:53
hexaterminal?23:54
webbb82i have no idea how to install a wifi driver threw the terminal23:54
hexawebbb82 lsmod | grep bcm23:54
webbb82hexa, ok what now23:55
GobiTheGoblinTerminX: wow. You have pimped it up hard :D23:55
BrairRabbiBUGabundo  I have only tested Daily LiveCD x86 and AMD64, they dont work on my machines, this is a new BUG   can someone try todays livecd amnd see if it works for them23:55
GobiTheGoblinTerminX: How about some lightweight distros? Like Xfc variants etc? Too heavy?23:56
webbb82lsmod | grep bcm didnt do anything23:56
TerminXeh?  I run GNOME with compiz fusion23:56
TerminXit has a 6800 GT (I'll save the list of BIOS and hardware mods with this one :p) in it23:58
TerminXgig and a half of ram23:58
TerminXit's enough for most stuff23:58
TerminXI'm not trying to watch streaming HD on youtube or play brand new games or anything23:59
GobiTheGoblinTerminX: oh. But web browsing is still bad?23:59
TerminXnope23:59
TerminXdid I imply it was?23:59
GobiTheGoblinTerminX: Or did I get something wrong..23:59
TerminXif I did, my bad :)23:59
GobiTheGoblinTerminX: My bad.. you said, it is not...23:59
TerminXweb browsing is fast as hell23:59
