ubottuUbuntu bug 201711 in linux "Apple fn key behavior isn't consistent with what's expected" [Medium,Confirmed]00:57
DanaGHaving to press alt-fn-f2 is annoying.01:01
DanaGgrr.01:01
DanaGand alt-fn-f4 to quit. and ctrl-alt-fn-f1 to switch to tty1.01:01
DanaGOr worse, ctrl-alt-fn-f7.01:02
rr73DanaG~ at least be thankful you can get X/GDM working01:02
DanaGi'm using kdm... and oddly enough, kdm doesn't auto-login even though I have set it to do so.01:03
jml"isn't consistent with what's expected" might as well say "is broken"01:03
rr73DanaG~ gdm does not start on boot then a 'start gdm' will make my screen just flickerrr01:05
rr73i dont know where to start looking to troubleshoot my issue. or let alone describe my issue lol01:08
DanaGhmm, I seem to recall having fixed that by purging and reinstalling gdm (from under console); had to use dpkg --force-depends.01:13
DanaGThat's a rather inelegant hack, though.01:13
DanaGBetter to report a bug, or find an existing report for that bug.01:13
=== TuxPurple_ is now known as TuxPurple
rr73i don't know how to explain it much more lol and i can't attach files cause the system "locks up"01:14
rr73DanaG~ what's with the force-depends? I get no dependancy issues with a purge/install01:18
rr73DanaG~ exactly what did you do to fix it? and you can see some of tty1 but then flickers to black then back and forth?01:20
DanaGhmm, check for old xorg log?01:40
DanaGyargh, pulseaudio was being all crackly, on both the usb and the ac97 cards.03:31
DanaGHmm, which of those two SHOULD be less crackly?03:32
geniiI would hope some internal card would be less crackly03:32
dtcheninternal or otherwise has no bearing03:34
dtchenremember there are several factors in this "crackly" equation:03:34
bjsniderwhat?03:34
dtchen* driver-side: DMA setup, PCI latency03:34
bjsniderhaving to do a translation over usb wouldn't be more of a problem than a pci card?03:35
dtchen* library-side: DMA setup03:35
dtchen* application-side: hw/sw params03:35
DanaGMy system also seems to be under load from something... not sure what.03:35
dtchenbjsnider: it isn't nearly as significant a factor as other things03:35
DanaGoh, right now it's ntfs-3g load... but that wasn't the issue then, I don't think.03:36
DanaGhmm, PCI SATA card could also be a factor.03:36
DanaGhmm, anyway, I posted the alsa-info for the ac97 card earlier.03:39
bcurtiswxthere any way to get around one of the packages trying to remove usplash?03:40
DanaGicon selection fail: the icon for ethernet-cable-unplugged, in new-wave theme, is "no wifi signal" icon.03:41
DanaG... on a computer with no wifi card.03:41
DanaGweird... PulseAudio just lost my ac97 sound card entirely.03:42
DanaGIt switched to null!03:42
bjsnideryou've mentioned high-cpu load from ntfs-3g before03:43
DanaGyeah, and now it's on a single-core.  bleh.03:44
bjsniderthat's the userspace ntfs driver?03:44
DanaGwww.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/pulse-loses-ac97.log03:44
dtchenDanaG: generally, if you disable autospawn and run it manually (with verbose logging), you'll get much more useful output.03:44
DanaGkillall pulseaudio && pulseaudio -vvvv |& tee pulse-loses-a97.log &03:45
DanaGyay for |& pipe in bash.03:45
dtchenHTTP 40403:45
DanaGoops, typo'd on "scp" command.03:46
DanaGtry again.03:46
DanaGweird.03:46
dtchen404 again03:46
DanaGoh, I typo'd the file name itself.03:47
DanaG03:47
DanaGit was 'a97' (lost the 'c')03:47
DanaGnow it's ac97.03:47
dtchenI: (alsa-lib)pcm_plugin.c: short commit: 17303:48

dtchenE: alsa-sink.c: snd_pcm_mmap_commit: Device or resource busy03:48
DanaGyup.03:48
DanaG"cannot recovery" is also broken grammar, I just noticed. =þ03:49
dtchennative German speaker, so I overlook those bits ;)03:49
DanaG"recovery" is noun, "recover" is verb.03:50
DanaG"cannot <verb>"03:50
DanaG=t03:50
DanaG03:50
dtchenI'm sure Lennart would happily accept patches03:50
DanaGcurse this apple keyboard I've borrowed...03:50
DanaGnormal bottom row is ctrl, super, alt, space, altgr, (maybe super), contextmenu, ctrl.03:51
DanaGApple is ctrl, alt, super, space, super, alt, ctrl.03:51
dtchenand this is updated, correct?03:51
DanaG1:0.9.21-0ubuntu203:52
dtchen  alsa-lib | 1.0.21a-1ubuntu2 |         lucid | source03:52
DanaGhmm, what command gives that output format?03:53
dtchendtchen@zinc:~$ rmadison alsa-lib03:53
DanaG  alsa-lib | 1.0.21a-1ubuntu2 | http://mirrors.kernel.org lucid/main Sources03:54
DanaGapt-cache madison.03:54
dtchenright, but you'd want apt-cache policy libasound2|grep Installed:03:54
DanaG1.0.21a-1ubuntu203:55
dtchenok, so you have the hw ptr ioctl patch03:55
dtchenthat's good03:55
DanaGoh, no rtkit installed... should I install it?03:55
dtchenyes03:55
dtchennot the source of this issue, but yes, you should03:56
natewiebe13with the new breadcrumbs in software center, could that potentially be used in nautilus for the location?03:56
DanaGoh, and I get this all the time: Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge": libatk-bridge.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory03:56
dtchendo you have at-spi installed?03:58
DanaGyes.03:58
dtchenprobably GTK+ skew03:58
dtchenhmm, I really need driver debugging for that04:00
DanaGI don't use at-spi, anyway, so that bit is cosmetic. = t04:00
dtchenI'm sure it's related to alsa-plugins not syncing the "hw ptr" correctly04:00
DanaGcurse you apple keyboard!04:00
DanaGhmm, if rtkit can make the usb one not crackle too badly, that's enough.04:01
DanaGIs there a way to just auto-build an alsa package with debug?  Or does that need a whole kernel build?04:01
DanaG(or a linux-image-debug)04:01
DanaGhttp://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/lshw.html04:02
dtchenyou can just wait for Brad's crack-of-the-day alsa-driver snapshot builds04:04
dtchenhe'll be announcing them shortly04:04
DanaGCool.'04:04
dtchenanyhow, Z time -> work04:05
DanaGhmm, should rtkit at least help the usb one?04:05
DanaGI can just use that.04:05
DanaGOr maybe I should just try it and find out. =þ04:06
DanaGanyway, good night.04:08

yofellet's try again: anyone an idea how to fix a broken akonadi? It hangs up KMail here: http://yofel.pastebin.com/f30f9a1c717:20
BluesKajis kamail fixed ?  it was in rough shape in 9.04 so I dumped it17:30
BluesKajerr kmail17:31
yofelwell, it works fine for me except that it freezes when I want to open a mail to read it17:33
yofelit waits for a not-started akonadi server17:33
yofel(see my paste)17:33
BUGabundo_workBluesKaj: it was very stable in 9.1017:37
BUGabundo_workon 9.04 prob was it got caught in mid devel cycle17:38
BluesKajI see , was considering using it again but I've moved most of my eamil to igoogle/gmail , but I don't carry on any business or sensitive data , so I'm ok with my present setups17:40
BluesKajquassel is certainly not my cuppa tea. lose the nicklist, toolbar , serverbar and there's no obvious option to get it back...gotta be a mindreader I guess18:21

CosmiChaosi remember my audio broke few days ago when that packages were updated last time19:09

mr_engineeris it VERY buggy?20:57
CosmiChaosmr_engineer, what release? define buggy20:58
mr_engineer10.0420:58
mr_engineerhm... like with bugs for a person that uses heavily graphic applications like games20:58
yofelmr_engineer: well, we have a new Xorg version and that leads to problems every release21:00
mr_engineeroh21:00
yofelwell, my intel VGA works fine here and my nvidia quadro with 195.22 too21:01
CosmiChaosyofel, will lucid carry 1.8 in the end?21:01
yofelno idea, depends if it's released early enough, but I would guess on NO21:02
mr_engineerwell, i will rely on this as a plan b then21:02
CosmiChaosso 1.7.3 is *NEW*?21:02
