KajrosDoing integrity check on another computer real quick00:00
u-fokamzz, yes, i did exactly that as i say above, and when I open file from totem it works!00:03
vistakillerwhere is the release note for rc ubuntu?00:06
vistakilleranyone have a link?00:06
KajrosThe integrity check won't run correctly so I'm guessing need to try to redo the live usb00:07

BaconIf I install the beta on my computer will I be able to upgrade it to the final when it comes out?00:14
durtBacon, yes00:15
BaconIs there still problem with the intel moble chipset00:16
Jordan_UBacon: Yes00:16
BaconWill this be resolved in time for the final?00:17
n00dlebrb...00:17
Jordan_UBacon: No, Intel will not support 9.10 and the driver is proprietary so there is nothing Ubuntu devs can do :(00:18
Jordan_UBacon: That is, only the Poulsbo driver00:18
BaconSo wait then why was there not a problem with it in 9.0400:19
Jordan_UBacon: Because Intel supports Poulsbo for 9.04, but they won't update the driver to work with the new Xorg or Kernel in 9.1000:21
BaconWell that's bad news :(00:22
edwindoeblerhi, i can't login to a fresh 9.10 install on a virtualbox VM00:23
edwindoeblerit says "authentication failed"00:23
Jordan_Uedwindoebler: You are sure you typed the password correctly?00:23
edwindoebleryeah, this is about the 3rd try00:24
edwindoebleri usually use gentoo, but i'm giving ubuntu a try00:24
n00dleNevermind, I did get it working. *Phew!*00:24
u-fokaedwindoebler, maybe keyboard layout difference between your live session at installation and your final system?00:24
Jordan_Uedwindoebler: Try typing your username or anything else that will let you see what characters are actually being entered00:25
u-fokayou can reset your password00:25
edwindoeblerJordan_U: input seemed to be fine, i selected "other" then typed my user in00:25
u-fokaedwindoebler, pm my if you need help to do it00:25
edwindoebleru-foka: i booted the install disk into repair mode, and i've got a term.  on one of the other trys (on 9.04) i reset the pw from rescue mode and it didn't help00:26
Jordan_Uedwindoebler: Can you log in at a tty? ( ctrl+alt+F1 )00:26
edwindoeblerJordan_U: if i do ctrl+alt+f1 it sends me to my gentoo's tty1 (virtualbox running in my normal gentoo install)00:27
edwindoebleri don't know how to make virtualbox send a ctrl+alt+f100:27
Jordan_Uedwindoebler: Try booting in single user mode then using "su" to test authentication00:27
MightyTweekedwindoebler: I think host+F1 should work (i.e. right ctrl-F1)00:28
edwindoeblerO00:28
edwindoeblerwhoops00:28
edwindoeblerI'll give both a shot00:29
muszekhi... I'm about to make a clean install of karmic on my lappy (it's been a few years and I've accumulated some mess... plus I want ext4).  I want to backup an entire filesystem to my home server (running ubuntu as well).  can somene please recommend a solution?  right now I'm thinking of simply copying files over ftp...00:29
u-fokaedwindoebler, right ctrl+f1-7 works inside virtualbox for my :)00:30
Jordan_Umuszek: Do you want a bootable image or just your documents?00:30
rordon't forget conf files too!00:31
muszekJordan_U: most of all I want to back up all files (stuff from /home, /var, /etc and everything else just to be safe).00:31
rob0Lowest overhead in network terms, pipe tar -c to nc and nc on the listening end00:31
edwindoeblerbtw, i'm really liking full-disk encryption and lvm support00:32
edwindoeblerthat was a PITA to set up in gentoo00:32
rorhmm, since upgrading, my firefox "drop down url bar" no longer drops down!00:33
rorit used to display recently access favourites00:33
muszekrob0: were you talking to me?00:34
edwindoeblerokay well host+f* works00:36
bp0i tried to create a bootable usb with the desktop amd64 image and unetbootin, but it fails to boot00:36
bp0what could be the problem00:37
bp0the beta image works fine00:37
edwindoeblerJordan_U: i can't get a single user mode prompt, nothing shows up at the grub screen, just times out and boots00:38
Jordan_Uedwindoebler: Hold shift during boot00:38
edwindoeblerJordan_U: okay, trying00:39
edwindoeblerand i've trying logging in at a tty, and i still get 'login incorrect'00:40
u-fokaedwindoebler, grub now shows the menu if you hold down the shift key in boot time00:40
rorubuntu 9.10 seems way way faster than 9.04, is there any particular reason for this?00:40
wes32is the ppa: link for software sources new to 9.10 or have I not been noticing it for years?00:41
wes32ror: a special focus was made on bootup and bootdown speeds, in combination with a new grub and ext400:41
wes32but without the broken English ^00:41
rorit's more the general runnign speed, firefox loading etc I'm finding fast00:42
rorperhaps it's just forced me to a different nvidia module or something?00:42
Jordan_Uedwindoebler: Does your /etc/shadow look OK?00:42
wes32could be a lot of things, but a new nvidia driver tends to help as well00:42
wes32I don't know whether 9.04 was particularly slow for you or 9.10 is just that little bit faster, as 9.04 wasn't the slowest of operating systems either00:43
wes32I do notice the speed bump as well, though00:43
edwindoeblerJordan_U: i'm booting into rescue mode now00:43
bjsnideroften going back to default themes and desktop settings makes things fastger00:43
edwindoebler@ recovery menu, should i select root?00:43
wes32I'd blame fragmentation of the hard drive, but we all know that'd be silly ;)00:43
konammmm00:44
konami've been trying to install karmic since yesterday on my pretty standard pc where I've always been able to install ubuntu, with karmic i can't00:45
Jordan_Ukonam: What happens when you try to install?00:45
wes32konam: can you be more specific?00:45
Jordan_Uedwindoebler: Yes00:45
edwindoeblerJordan_U: alright, i ran passwd [usr] ... trying to log in now00:46
konamtried the live version and alternate, the live version is broken, metacity ( or whatever) crashes all the time and the installer won't even show up00:46
Jordan_Ukonam: Have you tried the RC?00:46
wes32konam: this is the beta version, right?00:46
edwindoeblerJordan_U: yeah, that didn't work. getting back to the root prompt now.00:46
konamyeah, it's the beta, i couldn't find the RC yesterday00:46
rorif I had error messages during the upgrade process, which package should I list it under?00:46
konami can install the alternate and the grub takes a few seconds to show up ad it won't boot up00:47
Jordan_Ukonam: Can you try the RC, and please be more specific ( when it "won't boot up" does it freeze, reboot, show an error message? )00:48
konamok, i will try the RC, that was the one that i was waiting for00:49
konambut it's the norm for the new grub to take a few seconds before showing up?00:49
konamalso, grub didn't show the option to choose windows...00:50
konameven though it was recognized during installation00:50
konam:|00:50
edwindoebleri'm still lost.  back at the root prompt, what else should i do?00:57
rorscroll mouse wheel no longer changes desktop 'viewport' deliberate change or just a config change I've missed?00:57
u-fokaedwindoebler, can you su <username> from the root prompt?00:58
cwilluror, misfeature (imo) that's been fixed recently :)00:59
sdgI'm going to attempt to boot Karmic from a digital camera.00:59
edwindoebleryes, prompt changes to $00:59
sdgThat's if I ever manage to get the ISO burnt.00:59
u-fokathat isn't seems good00:59
sdgThe USB startup disk creator keeps stalling.00:59
Jordan_Uedwindoebler: Have you checked that your /etc/shadow looks right?00:59
u-fokayou should have a simlar prompt that root has00:59
wes32ohhhhh, add-apt-repository01:00
edwindoeblerJordan_U: it seems to be similar to my gentoo install -- my username has a bunch of characters after :01:00
Cynthiaedwindoebler: those characters are your current directory01:01
wes32that's sexy :)01:01
rorcwillu, ok cool. Actually it was kinda annoying because it would often trigger when you were "in" other applications01:01
rorespecially if you were near edge of screen01:01
rorI flick my scroll wheel oftne out of habit, not actually wanting to use the second viewport01:01
Jordan_Uedwindoebler: Do those characters start with $6$ ?01:01
edwindoeblerJordan_U: yes01:02
wes32i'm surprised I had not read anything about add-apt-repository yet, it's quite handy :)01:02
bp0has anyone succeeded in building a bootable usb with the new amd64 image and unbootin?01:04
bp0*unetbootin01:04
Jordan_Uedwindoebler: Set your password to something simple like "password" and check that what ends up in /etc/shadow matches the output from: perl -e 'print crypt( "password", '\''$6$salt'\'' );')01:07
McShaneIf I'm going from 9.04 to 9.10, would I be better off wiping my current root partition and install a new one with the boot CD, as opposed to doing an in-place upgrade?01:08
Jordan_Uedwindoebler: sorry, minus that last ')' so: perl -e 'print crypt( "password", '\''$6$salt'\'' );'01:08
Jordan_Uedwindoebler: I need to leave now but I'll be back in a few hours if you have any questions01:08
Jordan_U~01:10
edwindoeblerthanks01:11
mzzwes32: same here, although half or so of the repositories I was previously adding were for newer versions than available in jaunty, so it turns out I don't really use it much yet :)01:12
Jordan_Uedwindoebler: Another thing to consider is that if vbox is setting the hardware clock wrong your password may be expiring immediately / authentication failing because the date is not sane01:15
u-fokaJordan_U, does ubuntu has password expiring enabled by default??01:16
menzzaHello ! Im searching for a laptop/notebook with more power than those acer aspire machines etc...and it should work great with linux01:17
edwindoeblerJordan_U: typing 'date' shows the correct time01:17
BluesKajmenzza, I have one of those acers, karmic works great on it01:18
BluesKajaamof , mine's an elcheapo extensa acer01:19
menzzaBluesKaj: with the Atom processor?01:19
BluesKajmenzza, you know ,I never bothered checking the cpu ,... I originally bought it mainly for travel...both wife and i are retired , and we thought it would be fine email and surfing while on the road in hotels etc01:20
rob0I'm out of the old-style notebook world. The netbooks are more what I want a portable machine for. But anyway, what you do, check out something you like, then Google it.01:20
menzzaBluesKaj: okey01:21
rob0If your Google results show someone installing a Linux on it, read up, see what worked and what didn't.01:21
sdgusb-creator has stalled at 81% :(01:22

Barridusmy grub2 doesn't autolaunch ubuntu, it just sits and waits for my direction.  anyone know about how to resolve that?  i knew how to in the old grub, but this one is complicated02:04

lucas_Barridus: u can go back to the previous version of grub... sudo apt-get install grub -y && sudo grub-update && sudo grub-install /dev/sda02:08
sblunixHey guys, quick question (not an actual problem)02:08
Barriduslucas_ i'm ok with trying to modify the new grub, i'd rather keep the software "stock"02:09
lucas_Barridus: then i have no idea...02:09
sblunixI had Ubuntu Karmic Beta installed, I just ran update manager and it did some updates, would those updates sortof "Upgrade" me to Karmic RC?02:09
Deathvalley122no lucas_ I installed it with a deb file I am the version of 3.0.8 r5313802:09
stperesblunix: yup02:09
Barridusi don't know enough about this to fill out a bug report02:09
stperesblunix: no need to reinstall02:09
lucas_Deathvalley122: man grub202:10
sblunixstpere: alrighty, cool, ty, and I'll update to Karmic When it's officially released02:10
sblunixstpere: I mean I won't need to reinstall when it's officially released02:10
stpereyes02:10
HoopyCatsblunix:  keep doing updates regularly, and it'll "automagically" become 9.10 when it's released02:10
lucas_sblunix: nope... if u install update ur ubuntu will be up to date...02:11
rorah it's prolly related to the upgrade disabling medibuntu sources, I'll re-do that :)02:11
Heikki123=)02:11
sblunixYay :D I love when Ubuntu does things automagically for me02:11
Barriduskarmic is pretty rad, imo02:12
Deathvalley122lol02:12
Deathvalley122I wouldn't know02:12
Deathvalley122yet02:12
stpereBarridus: get off my lawn kid :)02:12
stperekids these days with all those expressions :)02:13
HoopyCatsblunix:  (techie answer: as far as updates go, the subsystem that handles that knows versions by the names, and all it (and the repository) knows is "jaunty", "karmic", etc.  alpha vs. beta vs. release is merely a state of mind.  :-)02:13
sblunixHoopyCat: Ok sweet, and my version names are all karmic, so, tis all good for me...02:14
Barridusheh kid?  XD02:14

Jon5000Anyone on here know much about citrix xenapp receiver?02:36
bp0anyone watching nbc right now? good mac commercials about windows 7....02:37
bp0funny02:38
Jon5000Also, what's the lowdown on the difference btwn beta and rc?  In other words should I move from beta to rc or just wait for the release?02:38
McShanethe difference is just a matter of updated packages. If you've updated your beta in the past few days, you're already running the release candidate.02:39
bp0"release candidate" means that this is the release set unless there are major problems02:40
bp0*supposed to mean, anyway02:40
Jon5000Got it. Thx. Any familiarity with citrix?02:40
HoopyCatJon5000:  if you're on karmic (and running updates regularly), you're on the "latest", whether alpha, beta, release candidate, release, point release, etc :-)02:40

cmwslwuh oh, this sounds bad02:49
cmwslwi was upgrading to the karmic rc, and while upgrading the kernel, it asked me if i wanted to generate a menu.lst02:50
cmwslwi said no, since i have grub202:50
darthanubisyou answered wrong as you already no02:50
darthanubisthe answer is yes to most upgrade questions02:50
cmwslwnow it thinks the kernel package is unconfigured and can't continue02:50
cmwslwactually, i clicked the popup and it asked me that question again02:51
Deathvalley122can someone help me with this issue02:52
cmwslwi put in yes and now it seems to be continuing02:52

lucas_cmwslw: "sudo" grub-setup02:58
cmwslwlucas_: what are you talking about? I already put that02:59
lucas_cmwslw: it should be easy, sudo update-grub and then install grub sudo grub-install /dev/sda these are grub2 commands03:00
cmwslwlucas_: just to be positive, i should be doing this even though i already have grub2?03:00
lucas_cmwslw: yup it should work ok... it could ask u if u want to overwrite soemthing just say yes to all03:01

eternal_pI_was_lucas: nope http://pastebin.com/m7efedf5c03:14
HoopyCatbp0:  hmm... haven't tried it myself, but might be worth gathering some data for a bug report, especially if you can find a fairly precise spot where it stopped working03:16
bp0it shows that message immediately, doesn't load grub or the kernel or anything03:17
bp0and when a key is pressed it just continues to boot normally, there isnt actually a restart03:18
akiodo BugSquad members hang here?03:18
bp0boot normally means load grub from the main hd instead of the usb one03:18
JohnFluxHey all03:19
brian_i have been running the beta with updates  is there any reason maybe more bug fixes or anything any reason to installl the  new rc03:19
HoopyCatbp0:  probably means it's not writing the bootloader correctly, but there's "enough there" to convince your bios to try it03:19
JohnFluxWhen I upgraded to kubuntu 9.10, the first thing I see _everytime_ I login is a dialog box telling me that Akondi server is not configured03:19
HoopyCatbrian_:  if you're on karmic (and running updates regularly), you're on the "latest", whether alpha, beta, release candidate, release, point release, etc :-)03:19

akio(II) UXA(0): Driver registered support for the following operations:03:22
cmwslwi think upstart is slowing my boot time03:23
Gratz474akio, i did not think dri2 was a replacement for uxa03:23
akioI think you might be comparing apples to oranges03:23
cmwslwit takes about 1 min to boot now, but i don't remember what it was with jaunty03:23
HoopyCatcmwslw:  if i recall correctly, you just upgraded kernels... i believe there's some stuff that gets done on the first boot of a new kernel (but i'm probably talking out of my bum and misremembering stuff)03:25
cmwslwat first i get the ubuntu logo for about 20-30 seconds, for 1 second it goes back to the console where the boot drive is printed, then the gnome screen , then the progress bar screen, and then finally my desktop03:25
cmwslwHoopyCat: this is my second boot03:26
HoopyCatcmwslw:  cool, you're a step ahead of me :-)03:26
Gratz474akio, hmm i see03:26
Gratz474akio, is there any way to use exa?03:27
akioyou would have to write an xorg.conf03:27
cmwslwthis is probably due to the fact that i upgraded - i don't have ext403:27
Gratz474akio, but does the driver support it03:28
Gratz474did they take out exa capability in the new intel drivers?03:28
akioI don't know, it may have been dropped but I doubt it.03:28
Gratz474i think it has03:28
Gratz474this is why some people were downgrading i think03:28
cmwslwthe system beep is also messed up, and my speakers pop sometimes when a person says something in irc03:29
akiomy 945gm runs smooth as glass03:29
cmwslwi think those two issues are related03:29
Gratz474akio, i am on a 865G its smooth i wouldn't call it glass though03:30
Gratz474i am always trying to get all the performance i can heh03:30
Gratz474i think between the 945 and the 865 it was a pretty big difference03:30
Gratz474time to upgrade anyways, went a full 5 years and it was not great then03:33
Gratz474heh03:33
akiohey DanaG, do you know how I can get my bug to be looked at?03:34
joseph_Why can't I run "vol_id"?03:36
oldude67hey help..lol, whats the easiest way to install a new monitor. i just went from a 17 inch to a 19 and everything is like huge and there is only 800x600 and larger..:(03:42
brian_i just ran update manager and it wants to do a partial upgrade and it wants to rremove komqueror plugin searchbar and konqueror plugins03:42
Gratz474i reallly wonder if i can use exa with intel in 9.1003:42
brian_should i do the partial03:43
Gratz474if that is possible to do and works, and someone could tell me that would be great03:46

=== ubuntu is now known as andre
SodaPhishholy jesus, why is it every time I update karmic my sound gets completely screwed?03:56
=== andre is now known as blabla
SodaPhishno, really, this is an issue.  Ever since hardy, sound support has been a raving lot of crap... anyone wanna take a stab at why?03:57
SodaPhishcorrection: AFTER hardy, sound went into the toilett03:57
SodaPhisherr, crapper, or whatever03:57
SodaPhishno takers, eh?03:58
SodaPhish:-(03:58
SodaPhishI was hoping someone could explain that.03:58
SodaPhishand tell me how to get my mic to work in Karmic again.03:58
SodaPhishlife without Mumble sucks.03:58
SodaPhish...03:59
c00pIf I install the rc release can I just apt-get to the release version of ubuntu ?04:03
HoopyCatc00p:  if you're on karmic (and running updates regularly), you're on the "latest", whether alpha, beta, release candidate, release, point release, etc :-)04:03
brian__im about to do a system re install but i wanna backup my apps and pictures and stuff so would i just save my home folder and that will restore everything?04:05
dick-richardsonanyone aware of the dependency issue with update-manager?04:05
c00pcool - might rebuild my laptop tonight then with the latest release and then update once the official is out :)04:06

uboxis anyone experiencing backlight being set low when waking the display?04:10
GodfatherofEireSay, guys, did that problem with nm-applet get fixed?04:10
DanaG"that problem" -- what problem?04:10
DanaG=P04:11
GodfatherofEireDanaG, basically, nm-applet didnt like anything other than DHCP (at least on wireless)04:11
linuxguy2009Where has the option to change the netbook remix display mode from netbook to normal gone?04:13
GodfatherofEireLike, I'd "set" the thing to Static IP, but then I'd check the settings and it was just back at DHCP04:13
GodfatherofEireAnd is it just me or are the x.10 releases a bit buggier than the x.04 ones?04:14
GodfatherofEireCome to think of it, nm-applet was acting up in 8.10 too.04:15
HoopyCatthe winter tends to kill a lot of bugs in northern climates... the x.10s have been sitting around all summer04:15
GodfatherofEireHah04:16
GodfatherofEireWell, then again, with 8.10 I suppose it was because I upgraded, rather than doing a fresh install04:16
HoopyCati think it's mostly coincidence... different people use different things, with different levels of bugginess.  i, for one, find sound is vastly better in 9.10 compared to 9.04.  i also don't use the networkmanager (or whichever it is) after some horrific experiences trying to get it to work with static addressing since i started running ubuntu at home circa 8.04 :-)04:18
rob0Wait a minute, the BDFL is from the southern hemisphere, so I don't think the northern winter should have that much effect.04:19
HoopyCatrob0:  i believe launchpad.net to be in the UK, which would be where the bugs are stored04:20
tonyyarussorob0: Canonical headquarters and sabdfl are currently in the UK, regardless of where he's from.04:29

tonyyarussonice04:38
secret901tonyyarusso: otherwise it's a black screen04:38
pantsd_I went to go dist-upgrade, but update-manager is broker in the beta. Anyone else have this issue?04:38
secret901tonyyarusso: also, the icon for my network connections is just a black blob04:39
jdahmthis is what happens when you try to update to a beta I guess04:39
jdahmweird things happen04:39
tonyyarussosecret901: Welcome to pre-releases!04:39
jdahmif you want stuff to work, use LTS04:39
durtpantsd_, um, update-manager uses dist-upgrade?04:39
pantsd_durt: No so I run sudo aptitude dist-upgrade and it says :  update-manager: Depends: update-manager-core (= 1:0.126.5) but 1:0.126.4 is installed.04:40

radhruinI upgraded to the RC and things went smoothly except for one thing(minus having to set my network connection to managed AGAIN): my mic no longer works. It's a standard mic, not USB. Changing sound settings does nothing. The equalizer on the input tab of sound settings moves with sound output. I have an X-Fi card, which may have something to do with this. Any ideas?05:02
td123so I just tested the RC image, and whenever I delete a folder like Documents in my home folder, it still shows up in the main menu drop down. Is there any reason why this hasn't been fixed?05:04

secret901Jordan_U: what should I expect to see in that applet?05:13
Jordan_Usecret901: Basically the same thing as in jaunty05:14
secret901Jordan_U: I see only two options: log out or switch users05:14
secret901no option to reboot or shut down when you're logged in05:15

cwillu_clonepwnguin, are you offering data storage services? :D05:16
secret901Bluey: it's not root if that's what you're asking05:17

cwillu_cloneah, okay05:18
cwillu_clonecontext is good :)05:18
pwnguinit reads the linux commandline for bootchart=svg05:18
Blueyhmm in the upper right corner, there is my user id and if I left click it, I've a bunch of options, including restart...05:18
secret901Bluey: so your applet shows more than two options?05:18
kohlrakAnyone know how to type in japanese on koala? i could do it on jaunty through scim, but it's not available in scim anymore....05:18
Blueysecret901: yes...05:18
cwillu_cloneand vector over bitmap for visualization is also good :p05:18
cwillu_clonepwnguin, wonder why that isn't the default?05:19
Blueysecret901: 9 options05:19
secret901Bluey: oh, I see it now.  I was looking at another applet05:19
pwnguincwillu_clone: it might be in karmic (this box is jaunty)05:19
Blueysecret901: GOT EVERYTHING?05:19
secret901Bluey: yes. I was looking at the log out button, which had only 2 options05:20
pwnguincwillu_clone: also, svg is xml, so you can actually dig around and analyze it05:20
secret901Bluey: this one integrated with IM so I didn't pay much attention to it05:20
Blueysecret901: it was that way in previous release too05:21
pwnguini should have enabled it a while ago, back when they actually fixed it to do this =/05:21
pwnguinthen i could make a time series of boot times05:22
radhruinWell, in order to get my external mic working, I had to use amixer to enable Line-in05:29
radhruinI'm not sure how to file a bug against this05:29
webbb82the past few updates i did it says it wants todo a partial upgrade  , does this mean i messed somethin up05:40
webbb82in order todo the partial upgrade it wants to remove konqueror plugins05:44

Jordan_UBarridus: Hold shift at boot ( that will cause the menu to be shown *before* it tries to load the default entry ), then choose the first menu entry and see if you see any errors06:01
Barridushmm maybe i've miscommunicated06:01
Barridusit shows the menu06:02
Barridusit just refuses to count down automatically and launch ubuntu06:02
Barridusthat's what's going on Jordan_U06:02

morphiasi dont know if it is just me but i noticed recently that this distro lags the system a lot more than 9.04 when i do copy operations06:27
kohlrakmight be jus you, because i'm actually noticing improvements in some areas, especially speed wise06:27
kohlrakmy computer usually has spikes in cpu usage every so many seconds06:27
kohlraknow those spikes are gone06:28
morphiashmm.  like all applications lag / freeze and firefox just crashed on me.06:29
kohlrakstrange06:31
kohlrakquite honestly, i was amazed that i seem to only be having minor papercut problems06:31
morphiasreason i asked is because i booted into 9.04 and tried the same thing and it doesn't lag the x-server as bad.06:32
kohlrakmaybe your videocard lost support06:32
kohlraki know when i upgrated to hardy long ago my video card now only has 2d support (ati card)06:32
kohlrakon gutsy it had 3d support06:32
morphiasi have an embedded intel card and i read they improved support for intel in this distro?06:33
morphiasnew driver?06:33
kohlrakit could be the case =p06:33
kohlrakhowever06:33
morphiasah.06:33
wgrantHow old is the Intel card?06:33
wgrantAnything i915 or newer should have much better support now.06:33
morphiaslol. uhm hows Intel GM965 sound? :-P06:34
wgrantAnything older may have regressed slightly.06:34
wgrantThat's new.06:34
macogm965 is good06:34
morphiasoh ok.06:34
kohlraki'd do some diagnostics if i were you06:34
morphiasim just learning how to debug lately.06:35
kohlraktry running some GUI stuff from the terminal06:35
kohlrakyou might find gtk complaining too06:35
morphiasok06:35
kohlrak(i've grown to hate gtk lately because of some silly things it does which ends up leading to most of it's own problems)06:36
morphiaslol i know the feeling.  i keep feeling that gtk "gets in the way"06:36
kohlrakmoreso, gtk actually does runtime type checking (which is why it often complains when an old app doesn't get recomplied when gtk gets updated)06:37
kohlrakit also leads to slowdowns =p06:37
morphiasother than that, i cannot wait for the matured release of this distro :-P06:46
morphiasi mean, your right some stuff has been sped up and i like the new software manager06:46

Gratz474Jordan_U, :(06:54

Gratz474for an intel card it works better06:54
Gratz474better performance06:54
Gratz474xaa is actually the best performance for an intel card06:54
Jordan_UGratz474: That has likely changed with the new intel drivers06:55
meatbunhow to create loopback interface?06:55
Gratz474Jordan_U, the ones with 9.10?06:55
Jordan_UGratz474: Yes06:55
kohlrakmeatbun: what kind of loopback interface?06:55
Gratz474Jordan_U, I am not complaining they are good06:55
meatbunkohlrak, virtual. like msoft adaptor loopback06:55
Gratz474but i just feel maybe it could be a bit better06:55
Jordan_UGratz474: The intel devs removed the EXA code from the intel driver06:56
kohlrakmeatbun: i'm still not following you. Networking, hardware, what?06:56
meatbunthe default is using 127.x i want a new one06:56
meatbunnetworking. nic intefface06:56
kohlrakaaaaaaaaaaah06:56
meatbunlo: is default06:56
kohlrakwhy do you want a newone? =p06:57
meatbunyes06:57
Gratz474Jordan_U, when i go over a gnome menu like accessories, and i move my mouse fast over it, it just picks up a few of the hovers, but if i turn off all effects in gnome it will thats just bugging me, maybe something to do with DRI2 ? or whatever, maybe i could tweak this06:57
Gratz474the effects and everything run really good now though, runs very smooth06:57
Gratz474its just the menu hover thing that urks me06:58
Jordan_UGratz474: compiz uses a fade in effect for menus by default, try turning that effect off so the menu shows immediately06:58
meatbunkohlrak, u kno how?06:58
Gratz474Jordan_U, i mean once its already open06:58
Gratz474i hover over accessories then i hover all that stuff really quick it wont really pick it up06:58
kohlrakmeatbun: not entirely sure to be honest, can't see why you'd want a newone though.06:58
Gratz474i have to slowly move for it to focus that item06:59
Gratz474Jordan_U, like a piano roll or something :)06:59
Gratz474Jordan_U, maybe there is some tweak or i duno, when you hover over just an item i can't see it doing anything too special this is why its annoying me heh07:00
Jordan_UGratz474: Can you see if it's reproduceable with xcompmgr ?07:02
Gratz474xcompgr i never even used it07:03
Gratz474just have a gnome menu open a big one, and do a piano roll does it pick up every time or does it only highlight ever 5th one or something?07:03
Jordan_UGratz474: My card has no 3D support :(07:06
Gratz474Jordan_U, what do you have?07:06
Jordan_UGratz474: SIS07:07
Gratz474i mean this is the crappiest card ever I am using right now07:07
Gratz474i mean crappy card i am uisng07:07
Gratz474an intel 865G07:07
Gratz474crap card in 04 when it came out07:07
Jordan_UGratz474: Driver problem, SIS cards have the worst linux support by far07:07
Gratz474integrated == crap and it was a crap integrated then07:07
Gratz474interesting07:07
fr500hi07:08
fr500I think I found a bug07:08
Gratz474i mean its not a big deal really, i dont fly over the menu items that quick usually, but with effects off it doenst' happen with them on it does07:08
Jordan_UGratz474: This is integrated, was crap when I got it from a friend who bought it as crap when she bought it, and the driver barely has 2D accelleration ( And at anything above 1024x768 I get white lines flashing across the screen ). You could not find a worse GFX card :)07:09
fr500anyone with a d945gclf board?07:09
Gratz474Jordan_U, i see, do you live in europe?07:10
Jordan_UGratz474: No, U.S.07:10
Gratz474ah07:10
Gratz474SIS cards i think wre more common in europe07:10
Gratz474Jordan_U, what kind of processor do you have?07:11
Jordan_UGratz474:  AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+07:11
Gratz474thats not as bad as the card :P07:11
Gratz474Jordan_U, me and you both need new hardware07:11
Jordan_UGratz474: I just recently upgraded from having only 128 meg of RAM, some of which was being used by this wonderfull integrated SIS card :)07:12
Jordan_UGratz474: I am not sure if the fact that I hadn't done it sooner is more a testament to Linux's ability to run smoothly with low memory or my laziness07:14

fbnHi, if I receive a message with Empathy I see the notification but after that vanishes there is no indication about the new message any more. On 9.04 there was a blinking icon in the panel. Is that as designed behavior or a bug?08:48
wgrantfbn: You should see the little envelope thing next to the clock light up.08:48
fbnFor me it's more like a bug because if I'm away from computer and don't see the notification I don't get the new messages until I manually open Empathy08:48

Dr_WillisStrangeCharm:  yes. thats one of the main features of the pacaktge manager system  the ability to update.. and dont use sudo su :) its better to use ' sudo -s'12:48

Dr_WillisStrangeCharm:  sudo -s sets up the enviroment properly. forget you ever heard about sudo su :P12:50

RussellAlanMy biggest porblem with Karmic, from 9.04 +kde4. upgrade , was a spaztic mouse. would jump everywhere. Then finally yesterday I change the appearance properties, then restart it later in the day, and it had no taskbar or anything other then browser windows, then got othe programs to run.13:00
RussellAlanBut Spaztic mouse = ... killer13:01
Daibensmith: sure, i could, but i have no reason to13:01

bensmithno i should have put a question mark after that i am amazed u can do that13:01

HoopyCatcalm:  i would check with the folk(s) who wrote evhz.c and make sure it works with kernel 2.6.31... that's the most likely change that would impact it13:02

orient2000.13:14
Italian_Plumber..13:15
qoswhy does nautilus when ran as root automatic mounts all my drives? and without root it does not ... ?13:20
Dr_WillisHmm.. you can put grub1 and lilo, and syslinux.. and many other boot loaders on a flash drive. :)13:20
Dr_Willisqos:  you refering to windows vfat/ntfs fileysstems? If so install/run ntfs-config and tell it to allow users to access the filesystems13:21
Dr_Willisor add proper entries in /etc/fstab for any perment ntfs/vfat filesystems with the proper options13:21
qosDr_Willis, i am refering to smb shares and sshfs. i can mount them manual as user without problems. but when i run nautilus as root they get mounted automatic. that is really annoying, because it can cause gvfs (imho) to stall... because it cannot find some of your shares in your current environment.13:23
Dr_WillisI would suggst never using nautilus as root for starters.. (it can cause all sorts of issues.)       Ive never seen running as root automount things not in /etc/fstab    then again using sudo sort of uses a mixture of the user and roots settings I think13:24
Dr_Williscould be the running of stuff via sudo nautilus, is restartung some disk-manager service thats rescanning and seeing the new  shaares/mounts13:25
coz_hey guys... any issues reported for no  alt+F2  ?13:25
Dr_Willissudo nautilus most definatly did not 'auto mount' the sshfs bookmark i have.13:26
Dr_Williswell i gotta run. bbl13:26

BluesKajHi folks14:33
mbeierlpradeep: if you want ext4 and clean install of grub2, then you will need to install fresh.  if you don't mind keeping your ext3 filesystem as it, then upgrade ought to work14:33
mo0nykitmbeierl: i see... i have seen my hwinfo --framebuffer, and there are no 16:10 modes available, so that means i'll have to concede :( How do I find out my grub version?14:33
pradeepmbeierl: you mean it's not safe??14:34
mbeierlmo0nykit: easiest way I can think of: ls -l /boot/grub.  If there's 10s of .mod files, you have grub2, if there's a menu.lst, it's grub 1 (0.97)14:35
mbeierlpradeep: I cannot say safe or not safe.  I did not upgrade.  I usually like to keep two root partitions and install the latest alphas on one and keep a stable on my other, with my data all being on a third partition14:36
mbeierlpradeep: so I did a fresh installation14:36
mbeierlpradeep: if you are concerned about doing an upgrade, wait until the release is announced.14:36

mbeierlmo0nykit: it's just got a handy tool for checking at raw startup what modes are truly available; vbeinfo is available at grub2 boot and it does not lie :)14:38

mbeierlrobotti^: so, I think we had you note down the name of the module from lsmod when you booted into the ubuntu linux install cd, correct?14:45
mbeierlrobotti^: no, I don't think so.14:45
robotti^It is old propetirery module?14:46
robotti^:)14:46
robotti^mbeierl: what is name of that module?14:46
robotti^mbeierl: I am not sure14:46
mbeierlrobotti^: let me go back through the IRC logs to see - I think you mentioned it yesterday14:46

robotti^same problems14:51
robotti^I think there is no support when installed on hardrive14:51
robotti^maybe different kernel than on installer14:51
mbeierlrobotti^: what I see is that there's a bug where they neglect to install the firmware onto the HD, but it is present in the kernel in the installer14:52
robotti^mbeierl: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/443185 <-- same hardware14:52
ubottuLaunchpad bug 443185 in jockey "Unable to activate Broadcom b43 after STA driver" [Medium,Fix released]14:52
mbeierlrobotti^: the wireless card is basically a programmable device, and the firmware is the program that is written to the device to make it work.  Without the firmware on the hd, the wireless device is empty and does not know what to do after a reboot14:53
robotti^mbeierl: I copied that firmware on ubuntu14:54
robotti^but it does not load it I think14:55

Lint01Why the new login background is of such crappy quality? It's 16-bit, my ass15:17
HoopyCatLint01:  most likely because the team that designed it lacked your artistic vision and experience; perhaps you should volunteer for the 10.04 login screen15:17
Lint01it's not about 'artistic vision', it's about 65k colors instead of 16.8M15:19
HoopyCatLint01:  i can't read their minds, alas, but you can probably find that team and research why they made that choice.  given the range of hardware that's out there, it was most likely a tradeoff for compatability or performance.15:21

mbeierlharikumar: that's why it's called beta...15:39
astrojpIt looks like this bug is under 'KernelOops'. I see that it's already been filed by others. No necessarily my architecture but it looks like the bug has been reported and I do not want to file *another* report.15:39
mbeierlharikumar: so did you see your webcam model listed in the supported hardware list?15:39
harikumarpardon...15:39
Berzerkerharikumar: try updating to the RC15:39
harikumartheres no model givel..its just hp webcam written next to it....and what is an RC?15:40
mbeierlharikumar: what I meant was it is called beta (or the latest is in Release Candidate status) because it still has known deficiencies15:40
mbeierlharikumar: RC = Release Candidate, a possible candidate version for the final official release15:41
mbeierlharikumar: go to a terminal (Accessories -> Terminal) and type lspci and see if the webcam is listed there15:41
harikumarwhere can i find rc?\15:41
mbeierlharikumar: it is now probably on the same server as the beta download15:42
mbeierlharikumar: however, simply doing an update will get you to the RC version15:42
mbeierlharikumar: are you familiar with update manager?15:42
harikumari check for update every 5 hrs...i am familiar with 9.04,but its in my desktop.15:43

reagleBRKLNbazhang: yes, downloaded successful16:34
Martynsep1318:  I had the same issue.  There is a change in the 2.6.30 kernel that caused this, it's not directly a 'Karmic' issue as much as it's an ongoing kernel bug that is being worked on in the community kernel16:34
Martynsep1318: There is a fix posted to the LKML about three weeks ago, if you want to be brave and patch and rebuild your own kernel.  I do not think there is a launchpad bug against the issue yet though.16:35
MartynSo you may want to open a launchpad bug16:35
sep1318Martyn: thanks for comfirming my suspicion.16:35
Martynsep1318 : No worries.   Not many people are using ipw2200 for some reason.16:36
Martyn(Which is strange, given how popular a wireless solution it is)16:36

Gratz474Any of you guys use an intel card? I am curious if there is any tweaks I could do17:26
Mesaphanybody got an idea what i could try? I'd really like to try using linux, but if I can't even install it, I think i've got to use windows 7 again17:26
Gratz474scrolling for in in firefox isjust not quite as smooth as it is in windows17:27
octy:( i can't even install anything because /tmp is read only o.O17:27
Gratz474are there any tweaks I could do to make scrolling better?17:27
bazhangMesaph, installing using unetbootin (usb stick)?17:27
macno17:27
cabreymac: that computer is probably so old that ubuntu won't even run well on it17:28
cabreymac: try puppy or dsl linux17:28
macbut how can i install them17:28
mac?17:28
macon that pc17:28
cabreymac: you'll have to ask them i suppose17:28
Gratz474is it possible to use intel drivers 2.7 ?17:29
cabreyGratz474: why....?17:30
Mesaphbazhang: I've used the usb-creator.exe, as I'm using only windows machines at the moment.17:30
bazhangMesaph, I've never had luck with usb-creator; there is a windows version of unetbootin iirc17:30
Gratz474cabrey, because its still not where it should be17:30
bazhangunetbootin.sourceforge.net if memory serves17:31
cabreyGratz474: what does that mean? 2.9 is performing fantastically17:31
Mesaphthank you, I'll try it17:31
Gratz474cabrey, how can i see what version i am running?17:31
bazhangMesaph, pendrivelinux website has some tutorials as well17:32
cabreyGratz474: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel17:32
soreauHello17:32
Gratz4742.9.0 here is there a newer version at all?17:32
cabreyGratz474: no, what's wrong with it?17:33
Gratz474cabrey, still not as good as xaa17:33
cabreyGratz474: what does that mean? you're being very vague17:33
Gratz474cabrey, for a 865G it is not as good scrolling17:33
Gratz474firefox scrolling still is not *as* smooth17:33
macis there any way to install ubuntu or any linux distro on a pc without cd player?17:33
soreauI was wanting to upgrade my Jaunty install to Karmic via chroot. I am chrooted into ubuntu now, what should I run to fully dist-upgrade it to Karmic?17:33
macis there any way to install ubuntu or any linux distro on a pc without cd player?17:33
Gratz474cabrey, although from the uxa 2.8 stuff its miles ahead17:33
cabreymac: does it have a floppy drive?17:33
macyes17:34
macbut no netcard17:34
bazhangmac, check the link I sent you17:34
Gratz474cabrey, and i give them that for fixing it and making it usable but if i had xaa right now it would be much faster scrolling17:34
cabreyGratz474: so why can't you use uxa accel method?17:34
bazhangthere is an option for floppies17:34
Gratz474cabrey, I just answered you17:34
macyes, but it hasn' t got any usb ports17:34
macand an empty hd17:34
cabreyGratz474: ok, do you use compiz?17:35
Gratz474cabrey, i am using 2.9 now, I guess i am using UXA by default17:35
bazhanghttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation  <--- mac17:35
Gratz474cabrey, I do it runs butter smooth17:35
macomac: are you sure its a computer?17:35
cabreyGratz474: yes you are, sorry forgot about that17:35
cabreyGratz474: try disabling it17:35
macyes, but it had winzozz 9517:35
Gratz474cabrey, the driver is almost perfect, i mean from 2.8 uxa miles ahead but i always want the best performance I can get17:35
Gratz474cabrey, does not help the scroling17:35
macthis is ok17:36
cabreyGratz474: well you are limited by your hardware. anyways I have found FF on *nix to be terrible, have you tried chrome/chromium?17:36
macbazhang<--https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromHardDriveWithFloppies17:36
soreauCan someone tell me how to upgrade from jaunty to karmic from CLI (chroot)?17:37
cabreysoreau: update-manager -d?17:37
soreaucabrey: That will work without X running?17:38
cabreyoh wait that's GUI isn't it...17:38
cabreysoreau: you can change your sources.list to karmic and then sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade17:38
Gratz474cabrey, with compiz disabled I would say its most likely just as good as xaa17:38
cabreysoreau: i can't guarantee it won't break anything17:38
Gratz474cabrey, what part of compiz is messing with my browser scrolling do you think?17:39
soreaucabrey: Heh, I did not know this before, but update-manager popped up a gui in my gentoo!17:39
soreauIt's working now17:39
Gratz474cabrey, I mean compiz runs like butter here17:39
cabreyGratz474: probably the fact that it's compositing wm, it's the idea of it at least17:39
cabreyGratz474: do you depend on FF for its extensions or anything?17:39
soreaucabrey: I would have never thought it would work =)17:40
Gratz474cabrey, nope, but if i do turn off all effects my browsing is maybe 10 percent beteter17:40
Gratz474cabrey, its really not that bad to begin with17:40
cabreysoreau: i thought you said X wasn't running?17:40
soreau(now if only there was such a thing as chuser)17:40
Gratz474cabrey, but i always just want that 10 more percent17:40
cabreyGratz474: try chromium. it doesn't hurt to try it IMHO17:40
soreaucabrey: X is not running for the ubuntu partition I am chrooted into17:41
Gratz474oh other browsers I have tried have been worse cabrey17:41
soreaucabrey: However it is running here on gentoo17:41
soreaucabrey: I didn't know gui apps could work through chroot this way17:41
Gratz474cabrey, is there any other better compisitng wm's other then the one that comes in gnome?17:41
cabreyGratz474: but have you tried chromium? just tell me17:41
Gratz474maybe the xfce one? i heard that one was good ?17:41
cabreyGratz474: metacity can be a compositing wm, but it's not that good imho17:41
Gratz474no but I have tried empiphany-webkit17:42
Gratz474cabrey, is that what I am running now ?17:42
cabreyGratz474: chromium is _extremely_ fast. if you have compiz disabled, then yes, but you are in stacking mode17:42
cabreyGratz474: to try metacity's compositing mode press alt-f2, then type in gconf-editor17:43
Gratz474cabrey, i meean everything runs super smooth even with compiz, just the scrolling is heh 10 percent less smooth, completely usable by all aspects I just would really like that 10 percent17:43
cabreyGratz474: you've made your point, now I'm trying to help17:43
Gratz474cabrey, i thought i was already running the metacity compositor?17:43
cabreyGratz474: no, metacity is a stacking wm by default17:44
Gratz474cabrey, so how am i running compiz?17:44
cabreyGratz474: what? Compiz isn't metacity...17:44
Sky_hi, i created a usb ubuntu 9.10 usb disk from within the live cd, but i can't boot it, the menu works, but then nothing happens, after pushing F2 i see that its trying to open my cd device: /init: line1: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found17:45
dooglushi.  I just used the 'software sources' tool to find the fastest repository.  it picked one that doesn't have karmic packages on it.  is there some way to find the fastest server that has karmic?17:45
bazhangSky_, using unetbootin?17:45
Sky_i just used the boot usb creator17:45
zashcompiz needs more tiling imho17:45
mbeierldooglus: :)  That's too funny... sorry - can't help, but man! that's hilarious!17:46
dooglusSky_: I had that one time.  pull out the usb stick and put it in again just as it starts looking on your hard drive I think I did?17:46
dooglusmbeierl: it's math.ucdavis.edu that's missing karmic17:46
bazhangSky_, okay; I have not had good luck with that-- unetbootin is another option should you wish to try17:46
Sky_lol, now it boots, but it took about 5min to startup, with thousand errors about /dev/sr017:46
Gratz474cabrey, what will enabling metacity do?17:47
Gratz474the composiitng factor of it ?17:47
cabreyGratz474: just follow my directions. 1. Disable compiz. 2. Press alt-f2 3. Type in gconf-editor and press enter. 4. Tell me when you get there17:47
Gratz474i can disalbe it from the gnome menu right?17:48
cabreyGratz474: go to appearance > visual effects to disable it17:48
Gratz474yes, i did that17:49
Gratz474will i be able to have any effects? hehe17:49
cabreyGratz474: have you followed the other steps yet?17:49
Sky_do i also have the feature to use the usb stick for my documents and settings with unetbootin ?17:50
Gratz474im there cabrey17:50
cabreyGratz474: is the window "Configuration Editor" open?17:50
Gratz474yes17:50
MesaphI just tried to boot it using unetbootin, but it freezes after checking the battery state. ...17:50
cabreyGratz474: good. Now expand "apps"17:50
bazhangSky_, you mean a persistent live usb? or a usb installer stick17:50
mysticdarkhackanyone here have problems with youtube in totem17:51
cabreyGratz474: then expand "metacity" and click on general17:51
cabreyGratz474: finally check the box next to "compositing_manager"17:51
mysticdarkhackit seem I get an error when trying to play youtube video from totem17:51
Sky_i mean both :)17:51
Gratz474cabrey, i dont see metacity17:51
cabreyGratz474: scroll down17:52
bazhangSky_, two separate sticks then?17:52
Sky_no, both in one, it should be persistent and live and you should have the option to install17:52
mysticdarkhackMessage: Error: GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error.17:53

mysticdarkhackInput/output error17:53
bazhangSky_, afaik unetbootin does not have the persistent feature, but is an installer17:53
mysticdarkhacksorry about that17:53
Gratz474cabrey, ok yea did that17:53
Gratz474i am in the compositing now17:53
Mesaphokay, I just rebootet again and it seems to work17:53
cabreyGratz474: you checked it off?17:53
Gratz474it was not on17:53
mysticdarkhackI'm guess it probably gstreamer17:54
cabreyGratz474: ok and compiz _was_ disabled before you did this, right?17:54
Gratz474yes17:54
Gratz474compiz was disables17:54
Gratz474and compositing was not checked in the metacity17:54
dooglusthis 'find best repository' bug is already in the tracker, and marked as 'fix committed' since 200717:54
cabreyGratz474: ok go try whatever and see if it is faster and don't close anything17:54
Gratz474i ma not in its compoisitng thing i can tell17:54
doogluswhat do I do to indicate that it isn't really fixed?17:54
Gratz474cabrey, it is faster yes17:55
cabreyGratz474: ok so it is a bug with compiz. you can leave metacity running but you won't really have any effects or you can use compiz and have a slightly slower browser17:55
Gratz474cabrey, hmm17:55
cabreyGratz474: or you can use chromium with compiz, but it's up to you17:56
yoritomohello all17:56
yoritomohow to reinstall grub 1 under karmic? waiting for the final version i will return on it17:57
yoritomoreally to sslow the beta 1.9717:57
Sky_the cdrom doesn't seem to be the problem, if i put in any disk while booting from usb , the errors disappear, but it still takes 5min !!!17:59
Ademanso wait, is /boot/grub/menu.lst no longer used? now it's /boot/grub/grub.cfg? which is an autogened file?18:00
Berzerker-grub.cfg is auto genned18:01
Berzerker-the menu.lst is now /etc/default/grub18:01
Berzerker-once that is updated, you sudo update-grub18:01
Berzerker-and it gens the cfg file18:01
Ademanah thanks Berzerker- I was wondering why my menu.lst wasn't being obeyed (I have to wonder why i still have one, I did the "install over everything but /home")18:02
yoritomoyes but i don't want grub 2 anymore, very slow, i want to downgrade to grub 118:02
robotti^hello18:03
Berzerker-Ademan, if you upgrade from jaunty, it keeps the old grub stuff18:04
Berzerker-yoritomo, grub 2 is much faster than grub 118:05
=== DanaG1 is now known as DanaG
yoritomoi have a black sreen, "grub loading" during 10 sec before to see grub menu :(18:05
* Blues-Man good blues bye18:06
AdemanBerzerker-: well is it really an upgrade when you install over everything but /home ?18:06
Berzerker-Ademan, sure, /home is just YOUR files. /home is pretty much only folders when you first install ubuntu.18:06
Berzerker-the real OS is everything except /home18:07
AdemanBerzerker-: exactly, so if you wipe everything but /home, that's more like a fresh install than an upgrade18:07
Berzerker-Ademan, but if you go through the dist-upgrade path, it doesn't wipe. unless you wiped and installed.18:08
yoritomono, i did a clean install with a ext4fs partition18:08
AdemanBerzerker-: i didn't dist-upgrade, i installed over everything but /home (it's an option if you choose manual partitioning in the installer from the desktop cd)18:09
raffertyanyone have luck with Sound on Thinkpads with karmic?18:09
Berzerker-Ademan, ok then it's not an upgrade.18:10
Berzerker-Ademan, for some reason they keep the menu.lst then18:10
yoritomono18:10
nick125Hmm. I'm having a problem getting my USB speakers working in Karmic. I get an error from pulseaudio like such: Oct 23 11:09:10 nick-laptop pulseaudio[3482]: module-udev-detect.c: Tried to configure /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb5/5-1/5-1:1.0/sound/card1 (alsa_card.usb-Bose_Corporation_Bose_USB_Audio-00) more often than 5 times in 10s18:10
nick125Any ideas?18:10
yoritomoi wanted to avoid problems to be sure about the REAL beta problems18:10
nick125If I have the speakers plugged in when I boot, they work fine.18:11
Picirafferty: I'm not having any issues on my T6018:11
MaT-dgI have a problem with the ISO of 9.10. When burned to CD-RW brasero gets stuck on 'creating image checksum'. I can cancel this and it finishes but doesn't boot. When creating bootable usb stick with unetbootin the process gets stuck on 5%.18:12
raffertythanks Pici. Just did a clean install on my x200 and no go. followed troubleshooting guide, tinkered with alsa... no hope.18:12
bazhangMaT-dg, gets stuck at 5 per cent for how long18:13
MaT-dgbazhang: wait nevermind, just started to move again... I guess about 10-15mins on 5%18:14
bazhangMaT-dg, I had that same issue, it does hang there for a bit then picks up after a while18:14
Gratz474what exactly is XGL ?18:14
raffertyMat-dg - I've experienced a 20-minute time frame in the past.18:14
AdemanGratz474: something you don't want, it's a replacement X server18:15
MaT-dgbazhang: now 0% on 'installing bootloader' hope it goes well to after a while :P18:15
bazhangits taken me a couple of tries in the past before it works, but its the only one I've found that does work18:15
Ademanhey mzz if you're around, i didn't find any gconf keys for gdm's simple-greeter to set the gtkrc18:15
Gratz474Ademan, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-617004.html18:15
Gratz474Ademan, i was thinking of maybe trying that18:15
AdemanGratz474: exactly what is your problem? XGL is old and, you don't want it...18:17
AdemanGratz474: or were you wanting to try it for the heck of it?18:17
Gratz474Ademan, with compiz firefox scrolling is maybe just 10 percent slower then without it18:17
Gratz474was trying to get that 10 percent nad have compiz18:17
AdemanGratz474: you'll have a whole host of other problems with XGL18:17
Gratz474I see18:18
kulightim trying to gget tv using dvb i get video but no sound. any one had this problem ?18:18
Gratz474Ademan, i wonder if theres some compiz effect that is known to do this or if its the just the compositor in gneral18:18
Gratz474general18:18
AdemanGratz474: that could be, I would expect that it's an issue with GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with certain drivers, is firefox too slow to be usable at the moment?18:24
Gratz474Ademan, oh no its pretty much perfect :)18:24
Gratz474just if i turn off compiz its like 10 percent better18:25
Gratz474still usable by all means18:25
Gratz474thsi is compiz with full effects as well18:25
Gratz474Ademan, maybe thats just something i have to live iwth hehe18:26
Gratz474i mean this is like 5- year old hardware18:26
AdemanGratz474: ah, so it is noticable though? hrm... sorry, i mean Xgl isn't supported anymore anyways.  (and actually i was wrong, Xgl apparently isn't an independent X server)18:27
om26eris there any device manager for ubuntu??18:27
Ademanom26er: what are you trying to do?18:27
om26erAdeman: i wanna know which device i am using and is the driver working18:27
Ademanom26er: device for what?...18:27
om26eri tried 7.10 live cd and it had device manager18:28
om26erAdeman: my wifi sound card etc18:28
Gratz474Ademan, i mean if you ever used the other way it might not be but if i turn off compiz there is a minor improvement18:28
Gratz474Ademan, more so when scrollling reealllll fast18:28
cabreyGratz474: Did you try my advice?18:28
Gratz474you can see a skip here or there with compiz on18:28
Gratz474cabrey, huh? i stepped away18:28
cabreyGratz474: I said if you don't need the extensions of firefox, you can try the chromium browser which is a lot faster and smoother18:29
AdemanGratz474: ah, yeah I expect it's an issue with GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap.  out of curiosity what driver/card are you using?18:29
Gratz474intel 865G18:29
Gratz474cabrey, is int in the ubuntu repo?18:30
cabreyGratz474: a ppa18:30
Gratz474ppa?18:30
cabrey!ppa | Gratz47418:30
ubottuGratz474: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart.18:30
AdemanGratz474: naw, there's a ppa for it though, it's nice, but I only use it when i don't feel like waiting for firefox to load and restore all 50 tabs i had up lol18:30
Gratz474i mean, ephiphany scrolling is not so good here18:30
Ademan(no ad block plus is a big issue though...)18:30
cabreyGratz474: well epiphany is not chromium, now is it?18:30
Gratz474take taht back but its ok18:31
Gratz474i guess ephiphany is alright18:31
Gratz474sitll firefox is a bit smoother18:31
Ademanthan epiphany? wouldn't have expected that18:31
* cabrey facepalms18:32
Gratz474cabrey, i dont mind using the chrome stuff for normal browsering now but firebug :)18:32
Gratz474atleast I know what the problem is18:32
Gratz474its the compositing stuff18:32
Gratz474and prolly either the intel driver is not optimized in that little specific area or something18:32
Gratz474or its just tooo old18:32
cabreywhatever, I give up18:32
om26erGratz474: fyi new intel driver is way man way more better than the jaunty's18:33
cbx33hey guys18:33
cbx33how do we install flash player in Karmic?18:33
Gratz474om26er, oh yea i know i am using 9.10 now18:33
cbx33Gratz474: are you talking about the mobile one?18:33
Ademancbx33: just install ubuntu-restricted-extras and you'll get flash and a whole bunch of video codecs18:34
cbx33like mobile intel chipset?18:34
Gratz474om26er, the last one was not even what i would consider usable18:34
Gratz474talking intel 82865G18:34

cabreycbx33: don't enable the partner repo18:34
Ademancbx33: although the actual flash player is flashplugin-nonfree or something similar18:34
cbx33thought so that's all I want for now18:34
om26erGratz474: yes last driver was poor with video playback and compiz too now both work great18:34
Gratz474really more or less just nit picking i mean its pretty much perfect18:34
tntcis there a problem with Karmic and hddtemp not starting?18:35
Ademantntc: have you checked launchpad? the likelyhood that someone is also trying to use hddtemp in here and is in the same timezone, and isn't afk, seems a bit slim lol18:35
Gratz474i just reallly wish i could use XAA with my intel card, but they took it out18:37
Gratz474it gave the best performance18:37

Gratz474cabrey, i am sure, but i was just talking about what gave me a tad bit faster scrolling ;)18:37
Gratz474i wonder if there is some tweak i can do for compiz to make it a bit better18:38
Gratz474or maybe its the intel drivers heh18:38
cabreyGratz474: so you've told me 8 million times....18:38
tntcAdeman: I have, and there was little information and nothing matching my current experience.  I doubt it is a real bug.18:38
Gratz474cabrey, 8 million + 118:39
tntcMy next question was going to be "What could cause HDDtemp to not start?"18:39
Gratz474oh the good old days of xaa18:39
Ademantntc: sorry, "check launchpad" was all i had :-/18:42
tntchaha! that's ok.  I checked it on my netbook and it launched fine, so I'm going to troubleshoot it by hand.18:43

nxnn14the problem has been around since Hardy and persists everytime I update even now with karmic18:46

nxnn14so it sorta fits both18:50
Picinxnn14: Is there a bug logged for the issue?18:50
nxnn14and since no one was responding i posted in both18:51
nxnn14not sure18:51
nxnn14i am pretty much a novice with this18:51
Gratz474is it possible to overlock intel onboard graphics?18:51

Kovertwhere can i file a bug?18:52
nxnn14pici it was one of those things I have learned to live with and am finally getting back to trying to fix it18:52

Kovertubuntu-bug vmware-package18:56
nxnn14its annoying to have to boot twice everytime I turn on my computer18:57
Picinxnn14: I'd start by logging a bug against your kernel.  run: ubuntu-bug linux18:58
nxnn14pici ok I can do that...the error that shows up that when the ethernet does eventually work is Unsupported PM Caps regs version(7) which seems to mean that ubuntu doesnt like the power managment version of the network card but that's all I can think og19:00
Kovertcan some one file a bug for me? I dont seem to be able to19:00
mzzAdeman: gdm gtkrc: there's /gnome/interface/gtk_theme or something like that, currently set to HumanLogin, so it picks up /usr/share/themes/HumanLogin/gtk-2.0/gtkrc. You can probably change that to pick up a different theme (from /var/lib/gdm/.themes/ or /usr/share/themes). Or putting a .gtkrc-2.0 in /var/lib/gdm may also work.19:01
honkado you guys know if gparted has a irc channel?19:03
KovertSo no one can file a bug for me?19:03

Kovertnothing i do the type alt -F2 the windowes opens i type the bug and nothing happens19:04

KovertPici: someting i now hapopening19:07
KovertPici: tHANKS IT SENT IT19:08
Ademanmzz: also just fyi, as a normal user I remember creating a gtkrc for using with fluxbox (since it didn't start gnome-settings-daemon) and it overrode what gnome-settings-daemon did when i chose a gnome session19:08
x-NaSo, another try...19:12
x-NaI upgraded my Jaunty server to Karmic. Seems that mysql upgrade didn't go as expected, as it won't start19:12
x-NaWhen starting, I see only "fail!" from the initscript and nothing is written to logs19:13
macothere is no boot log19:13
macodid you run it post-boot as well?19:13
x-NaYes19:13
x-NaIt just fails, without giving any clues why19:14
mzzAdeman: that sounds about right, but if you just want to point it at a different theme's gtkrc, not at a custom one, using gconf arguably makes more sense19:14
yoritomocan anyone help me to downgrade to grub1 under karmic 64 ?19:16
cbx33anyone managed to get bluetooth networking running with network manager?19:16
cbx33It was in the release notes19:16
cbx33but I paried a mobile phone to it and it didn't work19:17
rob0x-Na, my WAG, not knowing much about Ubuntu nor mysql, would be that the mysql's backend Berkeley DB has changed, and a dump under Jaunty then restore under Karmic might fix it.19:17
honkaguys , how to boot from hard disk and put everything into ram, so after the boot up is done I can unmount every partition on the disk?19:17
Ademanmzz: agreed, by the way, you don't happen to know what calls the /etc/gdm/*/Default scripts do you?19:18
x-Narob0, probably, but from my point of view I'd say there might be a bug, and after karmic release there might be a lot of unhappy mysql-users...19:20
mbeierlhonka - boot from the live cd instead?  There's not really a way to do what your asking19:21
x-NaI'll probly just purge mysql-server installation alltogether with all the apps using it, then it'd probably work...19:21
Brian_ok i just installed karmic rc and my wifi doesnt work i have a broadcom 4300 card  isnt broadcom suposed to work19:21

benstesry meant "it"20:47

tgpraveenbenste: no. that is the default behaviour20:51

rorI've lost wmv etc playback in totem/vlc but the instructions http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8046291&postcount=2 don't work for me since I don't have openshot installed, and already have the "unstripped" versions?20:51
benstetgpraveen: I'm sure it's not default - did you ever connect a camera and get two messages, 1st saying - it's photo, 2nd it's music ?20:52
tgpraveenno. you are getting 2 msgs20:52
benstetgpraveen: so all removable storage media is detcted as music ?20:52
tgpraveenthat you didn't mention earlier then it's a bug20:52
roroh wait, avformat was still the non-unstripped one, I'll try switching that one20:52
benstetgpraveen: you normally get never 2 ?20:52
tgpraveenwell for eg when I connect my cellphone the sd card gets mounted and deteced as a music device20:53
tgpraveenbenste: no only 1 should come20:53
benstetgpraveen: I'll try some other media fisrt and than may file a bug that all media is detected as music20:53
tgpraveenbenste: the point is that since I can explore in nautilius so I can do all functions of it as a card.20:54
tgpraveenplus since it's a music device as well so when I transfer songs to it it for eg gets converted to formats20:54
tgpraveenthat my cell phone supports plus tagging,album art etc features are20:54

alazyworkaholichow can I have my computers connect to the router with a static ip?20:56

XsCodeyeah, but same camera and he's using ubuntu and it was posted this month.....21:43

XsCodejust a thought21:43
RomDanyone here using two or more separated x screens to confirm a bug in gnome-panel and nautilus?21:43
bensteXsCode: he's talking about gentoo, and I don't have a problem accessing the cam :-) - did you read my bug report ?21:47
dannyis there a way to change the ubuntu 9.10 boot screen21:49
XsCodebenste:  did you read the post? "Tried with Ubuntu, too. Good as gold." and yes i read the bug report...21:50
benstedanny: the white or the later one - cause there is a way, but they're different21:50
dannyThe 9.10 RC the new boot screen21:50
bensteXsCode: I'm sry - but I just didn't see any connection - but thx for your help21:50
benstedanny: which one the white logo which is usplash or so or the one looking familar to gdm greete - or gdm it self21:51
bensteby the way does someone knwo why gdm2 config has ~ nothing to configure ? - in the old version you weree at least able to change themes21:52
dannythe xsplash'21:52
mzzbenste: there are bugs on some of that (most of gdm got rewritten, not everything from the old one is available in the new one yet)21:53
dannyYou know the new one that is brown21:54
benstedanny: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=127134521:54
mzzbenste: you won't be able to run old gdm themes on the new gdm anytime soon afaik. You can change things like the gtk theme used, but there's no ui for a lot of that21:54
benstemzz: so i'm looking forward to be able to change themes in lucid -> or will I prompted to ubuntu+2 for that ?21:55

XsCodetest34: occasionally22:01
test34XsCode, do you know what causes it?22:02
darthanubistest34, never22:02

metalf8801hi my laptop isn't going into hibernation when I close the lid is this happening to anyone else?22:03
darthanubismetalf8801, not me22:03
metalf8801is anyone else testing 9.10 on a thinkpad?22:04
mzzmetalf8801: obvious things to check include whether it's actually configured to hibernate if you close the lid, whether triggering hibernate some other way works, and if others with the same kind of laptop have the same problem22:04
bensteagainst what should I file a bug concerning the new_wave theme ?22:04
metalf8801yeah checked that stuff already22:04
bensteis it ubunut-artwork ?22:04
metalf8801but thanks mzz22:05
test34ok thanks XsCode I will try to see if double-click is my problem22:05
dupondjehii :D22:05
mzzmetalf8801: (I'm pretty sure doing things on lid close isn't generally broken, but it may be on your model of thinkpad)22:05
mzzbenste: dpkg -S 'New Wave' says it might be gnome-themes-ubuntu22:06
darthanubis!hi | dupondje22:07
ubottudupondje: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu+1! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay!22:07
dupondje;)22:07
Ademanwhat sets up the environment variables for upstart scripts?22:08
mzzare gtk things running as root supposed to pick up a non-default gtk theme somehow?22:08
metalf8801ok I found the problem I think it looks like it won't hibernate when Virtualbox is active22:08
mzzAdeman: I'd expect that env to be pretty bare22:08
Ademanmzz: /etc/init/gdm.conf uses $CONFIG_FILE and I don't see where it comes from :-/22:09
mzzmetalf8801: I might've seen that, but I was blaming it on lack of available swap space (since virtualbox is obviously pretty ram-hungry)22:09
Ademanmzz: as far as the gtk theme, when you say "supposed to" do you mean "expected behavior" or whether you need to set something up to follow that22:09
BUGabundoboas noites o/22:10
metalf8801I have 2gb of ram on here so I'll have to test that on my desktop later it has 4gb of ram so I'll see what happens when I add more ram22:10
Ademanmzz: because as far as i know, root just runs the same gtk theme as your user (gnome-settings-daemon magic?) unless the theme isn't in the global theme path (/usr/share/themes) in which case it defaults to... something, for me it's always been the "no engine" theme lol22:10
mzzAdeman: hmm, if that's not something upstart-specific like /etc/default/gdm I have to wonder if it's a bug22:10
mzzAdeman: ahh, duh, that's actually exactly right. My regular user's theme is in ~/.themes now.22:11
benstemzz: "gnome-themes-ubuntu" thx22:11
mzzAdeman: yeah, I meant I'm getting the builtin engine instead of the human-based one my user uses22:12
mzzI guess I just need to copy my ~/.themes into /root/22:12
Ademanmzz: no problem :-)22:12
Ademanmzz: or cp -r ~/.themes /usr/share/themes/22:12
Ademanno guarantees on the copy though lol22:12
mzzAdeman: nah, I leave /usr/ alone as a general rule22:12
Ademanreally? interesting22:12
darthanubisreally22:13
darthanubisno need to ever touch it22:13
Ademanwhat about /usr/local/ ?22:13
mzz(most directories are only touched by the package manager, except for obvious exceptions like /etc, /home and parts of /var)22:13
mzzI'd consider using /usr/local/ but I haven't had a reason yet (and I have no idea if /usr/local/themes/ is searched)22:13
mzz/root/.themes probably is though, and that's good enough for me right now.22:13
* BUGabundo loads bunny killing machine22:14
BUGabundoI'm sooooo ready !! what about you guys?22:14
Ademani would hope /usr/local/themes is searched, since if you had multiple users, they wouldn't be able to get at themes from /root/.themes22:14
AdemanBUGabundo: wat?22:14
BUGabundohagging already on #realease-party?22:14
mzzAdeman: I only have two users I care about currently, so meh.22:14

sobersabrewhat's ibus ?22:22
sobersabreI mean I've found the google code home page.22:22
sobersabrewhat it does ?22:22
Ademaninternational keyboard input stuff afaik22:22
zoraelinput method, yes22:24
sobersabrewhat is wrong with the previous approach: shortcut->input in your language.22:24
sobersabre?22:24
zoraelalternative to scim, uim, ...22:24
sobersabreyou mean it can determine which lang. I am typing in and then switches the layout accordingly ?22:24
zoraelGNOME uses scim, I think? and afaik scim is dead/inactive-ish upstream, so ibus is an alternative22:24
sobersabre(eating some CPU+mem for that....)22:24
Ademansobersabre: what i read (i've never used either so i can't confirm this) is that changing input method requires a restart of your applications that ibus won't, or something22:25
zoraelso "your previous approach" is scim, this is just a new alternative :)22:25
sobersabremy previous approach was kill scim.22:25
sobersabre:)22:25
sobersabreand my current approach stays as it was.22:26
zoraelD: I need to input in Japanese, and I've had a hell and a half of getting scim to work in KDE and all apps :322:26
sobersabreI have heard of smart programs to switch layout automagically, but I'm not on such a strong machine.22:26
sobersabrezorael: I need to input 3 languages. 2 ltr and 1 rtl.22:26
sobersabrenot hierogliphs though.22:27
sobersabrestill manual approach keeps me calm.22:27
sobersabreI wonder if there's been any news in finger print reader area ?22:27
sobersabreI see packages named "thinkfinger" something.... do they link with gdm ?22:29
gsvsomeone do me a favor. paste the output of the following commands on a pastebin: uname -a; netstat --version; md5sum /bin/netstat22:29
sobersabregsv: you may be running an outdated version, so what would it give you.22:29
sobersabreI think you may need dpkg -l of the package for this too.22:29
gsvim fully updated22:29
