[00:02] Thanks for all your help this evening! Merry Christmas. [00:56] did somebody try to install a virtualbox on lucid (maybe the karmic version as there is no lucid version on the virtualbox repos yet) [01:01] $ apt-cache policy virtualbox-ose [01:01] virtualbox-ose: [01:01] Installed: (none) [01:01] Candidate: 3.0.8-dfsg-1ubuntu1 [01:01] are you sure delight? [01:01] meww no 3.1 ? bah [01:06] BUGabundo: I wasn't talking about the ose ;) ... I'm trying to install the karmic deb on lucid right now ... let's see how that works :-\ [01:06] :-D [01:07] ahh [01:07] should work [01:07] you just need kernel support [01:07] that is done by KMS [01:07] I have it running in debian unstable for kernel .32 [01:08] http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.1.2/ or deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian karmic non-free <<< is what i ment ... but I'll find out [01:09] that's what I said [01:11] BUGabundo: ^^^yes ;) and as it seems it works great on my box too ;) === rmcbride_ is now known as rmcbride [03:11] hey all, is anyone alive tonight? or is it a bad time to be looking for support? :P [03:12] yes, and yes [03:14] * cwillu_at_work stabs xsplash in the heart [03:18] lol crimsun [03:19] billybigrigger: if you don't mind half druken response :) === vbits is now known as Vbitz [05:46] anyone know how to get lynx to boot and not start X? Is there kernel command line to make it so it dosn't start X. [05:49] boot into single-user, disable gdm, then continue [05:49] single start X , X kills box.. [05:49] thus no console :-( [05:50] tried specifying init explicitly, then? [05:50] can't get a console to do that.. [05:51] could make it not start gdm.. but if I can't get a console I can't do any of these methods.. [05:51] you can't get to a grub menu? [05:51] yes [05:51] you can? then pass init=/bin/sh [05:51] use to be able to do a -b and get it to drop to a shell.. [05:51] yeah.. I can try that.. [05:54] hmm that show some promise.. But seems to just stalls.. Dosn't seem to spawn a sh [05:54] finishes /scripts/init-bottom from the ramdisk then just stops.. [05:58] init=/bin/bash -b worked though.. thanks [06:12] will lucid support installation on btrfs? [06:24] !climm | taygalove [06:25] !lynx | taygalove [06:25] taygalove, please see my private message [06:26] taygalove, /msg ubottu [07:46] !udev [07:48] !udev [07:52] is MeMenu gonna be a part of indicator-applet-session ?

[16:57] hi there [16:58] my macbook centers the cursor, based on the motion sensors (i can move the curse with the angle of my macbook) but how can i disable this "feature"? [16:58] i cant find any xorg.conf [16:58] curse = cursor [17:09] nysosym: sudo rmmod applesmc [17:11] Am I the only one that can't login when I'm running the latest daily image off live cd/usb? [17:12] no [17:12] no, Hans_Henrik has the same problem [17:12] i got that problem too (downloaded like 3 hours ago) [17:13] I did notice you can get to a already logged in shell if you do Ctrl Alt F3 though. Don't know if that helps. [17:14] Sarvatt: Thank you sooooo much! :) [17:14] SoftwareExplorer: thanks for the tip, ill try it later :p [17:15] Hans_Henrik: Your welcome. :) [17:19] hmmm i had a sporadic desktop flicker on my macbook 2G (GMA 950) [17:19] known issue= [17:19] ?

[17:21] *your [17:23] i'll check mom [17:25] works finde [17:25] fine [17:27] well, I have an 945GME and am suffering from bug 492392, the flashes don't start immediately after wakeup though [17:27] Launchpad bug 492392 in linux "[lucid, intel] After suspend, flickering screen and then blank screen." [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/492392 [17:28] hmm its just a short flicker every 3-5min [17:28] macbook never used 945 [17:28] yep, exactly that [17:28] Amaranth: he has a 950 [17:28] but i dont get a blank screen [18:51] yofel: thanks for linking that bug, been looking for one of those to put the fix info on :) [18:53] its fixed with a drm-intel-next kernel 12-22 or newer from the mainline kernel site if you need a fix before it gets backported [18:57] nutte [18:57] oops, wrong channel [19:03] ghostcube, ping [19:03] bjsnider: pong [19:03] i've got some libxine pckages probably working with jack [19:03] oh cool [19:04] https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/testing-ppa [19:04] i'm not mpving them over to the main ppa until and unless they work, so you're going to be the guinea pig [19:05] ;) [19:06] van i pull everything so just add ppa [19:06] or is this not good ? [19:08] what? [19:09] if i just add the ppa or if i sho0uld install libxine manually? [19:11] add the ppa [19:13] ok done :) [19:13] brb [19:18] well, he didn't have to restart [19:18] it's only libxine [19:33] http://picpaste.de/pics/Bildschirmfoto17.1261769520.jpeg bjsnider [19:37] works fine so far [19:45] cool [19:47] brb === mac_v is now known as \vosh === \vosh is now known as \vish [20:23] hi [20:24] I get more than 80% CPU because of plasma systray, when I remove it cpu usage goes down, anyone has a similar experience? [21:28] Does anyone know how to get the nvidia driver working in Lucid? [21:30] SoftwareExplorer: use the drivers from the nvidia vdpau ppa [21:30] -.- [21:30] SoftwareExplorer: use the drivers from the nvidia vdpau ppa [21:31] the 190 drivers from xorg edgers should work too afaik [21:32] yofel: Ok, thanks. Is this the right ppa https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa? [21:32] the 190 or 195 [21:33] the problem with the nvidia blob in the lucid repos is that it needs to be rebuild against the new x server [21:33] SoftwareExplorer: yes [21:33] yofel: Ok, thanks. :) [21:46] hi, has anybody else got problems with ureadahead (or plymouth??) [21:47] i get a lot of error messages after grub [21:47] ureadahead terminated with status 4 [21:47] mountall: cannot connect to plymouth [21:47] plymouth-log: $something [21:47] cannot start session: no such file or directory [21:52] that reminds me... I should file a bug report about plymouth refusing to display splash if it gets console= on the kernel command line. [21:53] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22239 [21:53] Freedesktop bug 22239 in plymouth general "improve console= handling" [Normal,New] [21:53] there's the existing upstream bug report. [21:53] knittl, I am getting those also [21:53] i need to boot without the splash option [21:54] oh, and ureadahead exits with status 1, upon trying to preload stuff in /home [21:54] i thought there was one where plymouth wouldn't work if there were any extra kernel line options [21:55] i tried quiet splash and splash only [21:55] happens with both [21:55] also starting after logging in in gdm takes a lot of bjsnider [21:55] * a lot of time [21:56] lol xD [21:56] bjsnider: but i also got problems with nvidia drivers [21:56] it takes a lot of me? [21:56] i have to run dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-glx-195 almost everytime, otherwise i'll get an errorbox saying my desktop started in low graphics mode [21:57] bjsnider: no, a lot of time. i was faster typing than thinking :D [21:57] * typing faster [21:57] meh :-$ [21:57] did you use jockey to install the nvidia driver? [21:58] what's jockey? i used apt-get to install them from the vdpau ppa [21:58] ah, no i didn't use the hardware drivers manager [21:58] it wouldn't find them anyway [21:59] it wouldn't find what? [22:00] nvidia drivers [22:00] i don't see why not [22:00] and even now it tells me there are no restricted drivers in use on my system. it won't recommend any eihter [22:01] you're using the updated nvidia-common from hte ppa and the modaliases packages? [22:01] hm no [22:01] let me install that :) [22:02] i was only using nvidia-glx-195 [22:03] you need the nvidia-common and the modaliases packages for jockey to work [22:05] and a restart? [22:06] no [22:06] well, jockey might need to restart [22:07] no proprietary drivers in use on this system [22:09] but installing nvidia-common was a good thing to do ^^ [22:10] does it see and recommend the 195 driver? [22:10] nop [22:10] do you have the 195 modaiases package installed? [22:10] it doesn't show anything [22:11] state: installed [22:14] i am able to run the clonezilla iso using Grub2 without having to burn the iso. can i do the same thing with Lucid? [22:32] legend2440, it's the same grub version, so yes [22:32] joaopinto: ok thanks === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [23:10] I have a query related to the customized ubuntu based live CD I have. Is this the correct forum for queries regarding it? [23:11] karioke, which version of ubuntu [23:11] bazhang, karmic. I used this to build the iso: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch [23:12] karioke, this is for lucid, 10.04 ; karmic would be in #ubuntu [23:12] bazhang, ok. thanks [23:29] hi there, how can i define i915.modeset=0 as bootoption? [23:30] i have tried it with "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i915.modeset=0"" in /etc/default/grub [23:30] but it doesn't work [23:36] sry for that, i had a crash [23:39] hm... it's been a while since I had to use that, but iirc you create some config file in /etc/modprobe.d/ [23:39] lemme google... [23:41] ah, found it, create some random config file, I'll use i915-kms.conf so that it makes sense, and put 'options i915 modeset=0' in there [23:43] when the kernel loads the module KMS should be off [23:43] nysosym: ^^^ [23:56] thank you yofel, ill try :) [23:56] br [23:56] b
