BUGabundoI just replaced my /home/bugabundo/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key :((00:18
BUGabundocan I generate it back from prib key ?00:18
RAOFThat's an interesting question...00:21
RAOFI'm moderately sure that the answer is “no", and that generating a public key from a private key is essentially the same as generating a private key from a public key.00:22
BUGabundoRAOF: no. pub key is only part of the priv key AFAIK00:27
RAOFIt's been some time since I did RSA-style public key encryption by hand, but IIRC the keys are pretty much symmetric: the public key can decrypt anything encrypted with the private key, the private key can encrypt anything encrypted with the public key.00:32
hggdhBUGabundo: probably not. Better stating, probabilistic not.00:34
hggdhtwo primes are chosen, with a specific relation between them. You would have to find the missing prime...00:35
pasjrI need help with grub01:22
pasjrGrub in Lucid01:22
gr4p3syou should probably state your problem... these guys aren't mind readers01:23
pasjrsorry I have a problem the grub menu is showing up I would like to hide it.  Did not have this problem on install01:24
BUGabundopasjr: grub2 is hidden by default01:25
BUGabundounless you mess with /etc/defaults/grub01:25
pasjrfor some reason it has shown up01:25
pasjrI can not find how to hide it again01:25
pasjrI have yet to play with Grub in Lucid, I really like the way it was01:27
bjsnideri am a mind reader01:27
bjsnideri'm just not very good at it01:27
pasjrThe problem just started after the last set of updates, Grub menu list starts on boot up, I liked it better when it was hidden01:29
pasjrI have no clue in lucid how to hide the grub menu again01:29
pasjrok if any one finds an answer please e-mail me at PASJR@Micro2GB.com01:34
billybigriggerpasjr, BUGabundo gave you the answer01:35
pasjrnot the answer to rehide ok well good night01:37
BUGabundoohh but I know the answer01:38
BUGabundobut I'm not emailing him01:38
BUGabundoDUDE is a moron :D01:39
davidTotally, huge moron01:39
BUGabundohe has now multiple stanzas01:39
=== david is now known as Guest80414
BUGabundoof course grub is showing up01:39
Guest80414unbelievable01:39
BUGabundoallowing him to choose01:39
BUGabundo:D01:39
BUGabundowhy did he go way while I tested it ?01:39
BUGabundobahh01:39
BUGabundoI really dislike doing user support01:40
BUGabundothey are always so impacient :(01:40
Guest80414Hmm, maybe it is you who is impatient01:40
* BUGabundo goes back to hacking android SSH01:40
Guest80414You know what they say ? If everyone around you is impatient, maybe it's you who is impatient :P01:40
BUGabundoohh that is true... I don't like waiting01:41
Guest80414me neither01:41
Guest80414I worked on a tech support call centre for 4.5 months, I was going crazy at the end01:41
BUGabundobut I don't like to make anyone to wait on me either01:41
BUGabundoI know the feeling01:41
BUGabundoI have several friends that work like that01:41
Guest80414It was bad cause it was always the same problem.01:41
BUGabundoI do work as a sysadmin / webadmin in a support role01:41
BUGabundoGuest80414: ehehe01:42
BUGabundocan't you put a nicer nick Guest80414?01:42
Guest80414I am mostly a PHP programmer with some support, fortunately I don't do first level any more :d01:42
Guest80414I had David, but the chat nick thing renamed me :P01:42
Guest80414and I am too lazy to set a new name cause in a month I am going to reinstall this 10.04 with Alpha 2 :d01:43
Guest80414Hey, I have serious issue with the moving of the shutdown button from the system menu to the menu at the top right. I know that that will cause a support nightmare. I know when my Mum-in-law changes from 8.04 to 10.04, she is gonna call me "I can't turn my computer" or "I couldn't turn it off, so I unplugged it, now it won't boot!!"01:44
bjsniderthat's been changed for awhile now01:46
bjsnidersince jaunty i think01:46
Guest80414yea, I remember. I stayed on Hardy cause of it :P01:46
bjsniderand it was changed because it didn't make sense where it was01:46
Guest80414I think it would be a very good idea to have a button in the system menu for the LTS that tells the user where it is now.01:46
Guest80414I just think of the support nightmare of LTS users upgrading, it scares me :P01:47
ChogyDanisnt it going to change again?  I heard there is going to be a social networking widget or something01:48
Guest80414Or maybe an easy to read upgrade guide that displays when the user starts the computer that explains some of these changes01:48
bjsniderthe me menu01:48
Guest80414btw, I really like the 10.04 Alpha, but I am going to continue to complain about the shutdown button until I know my mother-in-law won't call after the upgrade in April :D01:49
Guest80414I can't wait till 10 second boot time, that's gonna be pretty awesome01:50
bjsniderit will be for people who stop and start it a lot01:52
bjsnidernot for those who run their systems for weeks continuously01:52
Guest80414Yes, well for my laptop it's gonna be great01:52
Guest80414hey, when my computer resumes from suspend, it takes up to 10 seconds for the mouse and keyboard to respond01:53
bjsniderexactly, laptop/netbook users01:53
Guest80414how do I find out if it's a ubuntu bug or a hardware bug ?01:54
bjsnidersine when has suspend/resume ever worked on linux01:54
Guest80414It works well on my ibm t43  + Ubuntu 10.04, it just takes 10 seconds between when the screen comes on and when I can use the keyboard01:56
Guest80414ok, guess your comment means that it'll never work, so I won't open a ticket :P01:59
bjsnideri hear a lot of people complain about it all the time, so i suppose it isn't very good, but i don't use it so i can't say for sure02:01
BUGabundoGuest80414: your resume works?02:03
BUGabundolucky02:03
BUGabundomine fails on something, and does a regular boot :(02:03
BUGabundoI guess its bitching at me, for I saying boot was faster then resume02:03
Guest80414The resume works, it just freezes the mouse for 5-10 seconds02:04
Guest80414But, yes. It works :)02:05
bjsniderBUGabundo, maybe it only fails for blob users02:05
BUGabundomaybe02:05
BUGabundosome KMS issue02:05
Guest80414I don't know what KMS is02:06
bjsniderdoes it use kms for that?02:06
bjsnideri didn't know that02:06
bjsnidermakes sense i suppose02:06
bjsniderbut it's safe to say there will never be a proprietary kms driver02:07
Guest80414What's KMS ?02:08
billybigriggerkernel mode setting02:08
billybigriggerbasically kms = pretty boot graphics02:08
billybigriggerit's a bit more complicated, but that's the jist of it02:09
Guest80414NIce02:09
Guest80414I remember when I was back on Gentoo I tried to get the splash going for boot, never got it working. But I did spend a week compiling stuff for it02:09
Guest80414When I get an instant message with empathy, there is a cute notification box, but clicking it does not open empathy's windows.. Is this a feature or a bug ?02:11
BUGabundoahaha02:13
BUGabundoman you have been LONG gone02:13
BUGabundothat's a 9.04 change02:13
BUGabundowhen we got notify osd02:13
bjsniderthis is what happens when you use hardy for two years02:13
BUGabundoLOL02:13
bjsnideri mean come on, be more bleeding edge will you please?02:13
Guest80414I am an LTS user02:14
bjsniderthere's a new distro every six months02:14
Guest80414I use to be bleeding edge, I used to run gentoo for pete's sake,02:14
BUGabundowho's pete ? :p02:15
Guest80414I had the unstable version, I was compiling my O/S about once a week. But I was bleeding edge, but I have come to appreciate stability. I got 8.04 on all my computers and servers :D02:15
bjsnideri expected most lts users to be businesses or organizations, not individuals02:15
Guest80414I use my computers for work, so I guess I am a hybrid user02:15
bjsniderwell, lucid is going to be one heck of a big change then02:15
Guest80414actually I tried 8.10 alpha 2, and it worked very poorly with my computer, so I stayed on 8.0402:16
bjsniderit would have been really funny if gnome-shell had been the default in ubuntu02:16
Guest80414Apparently support for my video card was dropped in 8.1002:16
BUGabundobjsnider: as was  the change to 8.0402:16
bjsniderBUGabundo, i can't remember that far back02:16
BUGabundofrom 6.06.302:16
Guest80414actually I have 2 servers running 7.04, I gotta upgrade them.02:17
bjsniderbreezy?02:17
Guest80414I am waiting for 10.04 this summer than I migrate all my servers02:17
BUGabundodude that's EOL02:17
bjsnideri don't believe that02:17
Guest80414no that was EOL last year02:17
Guest80414this year it's aincient history ;)02:17
BUGabundoahahaahaha02:17
Guest80414the guy who was responsable for the servers before I got here was not very good02:17
BUGabundowell I have servers running hpux 11 (circa 1994)02:18
bjsniderare you plainning on switching to ext4?02:18
Guest80414he had a PRI in a gentoo machine that had no updates installed for like 2.5 years and several utilities had broken libraries and wouldn't run02:18
BUGabundowhy would he?02:18
BUGabundoext4 is "edgy"02:18
bjsniderit's faster and has quicker fsck02:18
Guest80414I liked reisferfs better than ext3/4, unfortunately the guy who wrote it turned out to be a killer :(02:19
bjsniderhe doesn't have the keep the system down an hour to do a fsck02:19
Guest80414I think I'll probably switch to ext4 with 10.0402:20
Guest80414When did ext4 become the default FS in ubuntu ?02:21
BUGabundo9.10 I think02:21
BUGabundo9.04 was experimental02:21
Guest80414oh, so it's still pretty new02:21
BUGabundoneeded kernel .30+ to fix most bugs02:21
Guest80414ok02:21
BUGabundoboth ubuntu and FC bring it as default now02:21
BUGabundono, its not that new02:22
BUGabundobeen around for 2 years or so02:22
bjsniderall 5 people using fedora had it a bit earlier than ubuntu offered it02:22
Guest80414I know it's not *that* new, but a filesystem is a pretty darned important piece of the system02:22
BUGabundobut there where a couple of nasty bugs in kernel ,27 and 2802:22
BUGabundolike the io truncate02:22
BUGabundoand the most severe one, delete files over 1GB or very dispersed02:23
Guest80414um.. delete files over 1gb. That sounds good02:23
Guest80414my most important server has a 47 gig file on it02:23
BUGabundoso ppl running 9.04 with .28 kernel are screwed if they try ext402:23
BUGabundowell if you have it, I don't think you are planning to delete it02:23
Guest80414wait02:24
Guest80414"and the most severe one, delete files over 1GB or very dispersed" => deleting files over 1gb is difficult or they just randomly delete ?02:24
bjsniderBUGabundo, i think fixes were backported to the jaunty kernel, were they not?02:24
Guest80414I notice that 10.04 contains thunderbird 2 and not thunderbird 3, I wonder why ?02:25
Guest80414They included firefox 3 beta in the initial 8.04 release, I wonder why not for thunderbird02:25
RAOFBecause we don't use thunderbird by default.02:26
Guest80414Ok02:26
AmaranthGuest80414: Because Thunderbird 3 was just released and the mozilla guys are all on holiday?02:26
Guest80414Hehehehe, that's a good reason Amaranth02:26
AmaranthRAOF: Not using it is actually a good reason to upgrade it02:27
BUGabundolol02:27
BUGabundoI tried to install it02:27
BUGabundofound a bug the moment I run account setup02:27
AmaranthRAOF: If no one is caring for it particularly in Ubuntu the latest version is going to have the most fixes/support (unless it's a rewrite or something)02:27
BUGabundoreported it upstream02:27
BUGabundothey said to open a new one, I did, was closed with can't reproduce02:27
BUGabundoI uninstaled it :D02:28
bjsniderwhy are people still using mail clients...02:28
RAOFAmaranth: Well, but it makes it less of a priority to pull what will be a supported release into Ubuntu before it's a real release.02:28
BUGabundoback to kmail :DD02:28
RAOFbjsnider: Because gmail sucks at mailing lists.02:28
BUGabundoAmaranth: both Firefox and TB are officially supported by Ubuntu Mozilla Team02:28
bjsniderdoes it really?02:28
Amaranthgmail is awesome at mailing lists, what are you on about?02:28
BUGabundoand backported too02:29
Guest80414any reason why you guys use firefox, over gnome's browser, but you use evolution not thunderbird ?02:29
bjsnideri use chromium02:29
BUGabundochromium here02:29
bjsnideror whatever it's called02:29
AmaranthBUGabundo: but we do special things to firefox (so far as mozilla will let us) to make it work better with our desktop02:29
BUGabundotrue02:29
BUGabundoits called ubufox02:29
RAOFGuest80414: Because firefox is much better for many people than Epiphany, whereas thunderbird isn't significantly better than evolution (and doesn't cover as much functionality, and is worse integrated, and...)02:30
BUGabundo:p02:30
BUGabundoand yes, gmail SUCKs a MLs02:30
Guest80414ah ok.02:30
BUGabundoohhh he didn't... he used an "and ..."02:30
* BUGabundo ducks02:30
Guest80414Hey, any of you people use Gentoo ?02:31
bjsnider*deafening silence*02:32
Amaranthstupid nautilus and it's stupid DnD grab02:32
Amaranthluckily it was just a pointer grab so I could still vt switch and kill it from a tty02:32
RAOFMy main interaction with Gentoo is them failing at Mono packaging causing people to file incorrect bugs on Do.02:33
Guest80414anyway, I mention it cause one of the options that they have over in the Gentoo camp is you set all the options such as mysql support and stuff. So if you install PHP, mysql support is added, you install postfix mysql support is added.02:33
BUGabundoRAOF: the WARNING at the bug page isn't large enough02:33
bjsniderRAOF, you're kidding me. they failed to properly package mono?02:33
BUGabundoput some pink flashing letters too02:33
BUGabundodo bugs |= do-plugins02:34
AmaranthRAOF, BUGabundo: How does gmail suck at mailing lists? It has automated filters for stuffing them in labels, conversation view, and reply to all by default (it's an option, look it up)02:34
Guest80414If you ignore the hours of compiling, it was a really handy option. It'd be fun to have something like that for ubuntu, I could say this machine uses "postgres" and any time I install a software that has a postgres plugin, aptitude would propose the plugin02:34
BUGabundoAmaranth: no proper thread, can't break threads, stimulates users to user the bottom reply, instead of replying to the proper person...02:35
RAOFAmaranth: I like the conversation view, but it breaks threading, and I like threading.02:35
BUGabundoRAOF: I LOVE THREADING02:35
Amaranththreads get far too nested and I lose track of what is going on anyway02:35
BUGabundoheck I filed 6 separete bugs to kmail02:35
RAOFAmaranth: Also, I don't like the way it handles quotes.02:35
Amaranththe autohide bit?02:35
BUGabundowhen they migrated to 4.x all on threadign accoung02:35
BUGabundoRAOF: ehe android gmail app is worth02:36
BUGabundoyou can't fw it, you can't inline comment, or bottom posting02:36
BUGabundoit makes me MADDDDDDDDD02:36
BUGabundoohh Amaranth join one more: TOP POSTING02:36
BUGabundoalthough bettergmail addon makes it do bottom posting02:37
Amaranthok so it sucks that stupid people use it and don't move the cursor :P02:37
BUGabundoahhh no digitally SIGNed emails or gpg check02:37
Amaranththat's going to be true of all web-based email but that's what firegpg is for02:37
bjsniderisn't firegpg broken with gmail?02:39
Guest80414I think I am going to try to raise elephants with my ubuntu 10.04 alpha 102:40
Amaranthit was right after gmail changed but it worked last time I cared to try it02:40

HewThe bash process is currently running at 100% cpu. Is there any way to find out what is causing this?08:41
umask001Hew: you could use strace -p <pid> to watch what the process is doing.  It may or may not give you something useful08:50
Hewumask001, thanks for that, unfortunately there's no output though. I'll keep watching it.08:55
Hewumask001, actually it looks like it's produced 19 lines of this: --- SIGQUIT (Quit) @ 0 (0) --- . Any idea what that is?09:00
Hewthe 100% cpu usage just stopped, here is the output from strace http://paste.ubuntu.com/350316/ , should I file a bug about this, and if so what should I file it against?09:21
fractalisr600_dri.so does not seem to be included in the libgl1-mesa-dri package in Karmic. Will ATI r600 be supported in Lucid?09:41
om26eri think it should be as the kernel in lucid will have KMS for ati..09:41
fractalisThat was the impression I was getting, wanted to make sure. Figure I'd upgrade to the 10.04 alpha and give it a shot.09:43
fractalisThanks om26er09:43
om26erfractalis, or don't upgrade and try the live cd to check?09:44
fractalisThat probably would have been the smart thing to do, but if worse comes to worse I'll just re-install Karmic. Not too concerned about losing anything as its still a fresh install.09:45
umask001Hew: the paste doesn't look particularly revealing.  Did you do anything random like insert a usb drive, or could it be a daily cron job gone wrong?  If you're still looking into it, check "dmesg | tail" to see if the kernel was doing anything weird10:04
Hewnothing in dmesg since boot10:05
HewI didn't insert a USB drive. I was just doing normal desktop activities like switching between windows.10:06
umask001Hew: no idea what you could file it against then.  I'd say ignore it unless it happens again :)10:07

alkisgIs there any place with changelogs for the daily-build CDs? E.g. "autologon not working => fixed" ?15:12
floatinggrrh. trying the ubuntu lucid iso boot from hard disk with unetboot, choose command-line install, then comes the language select screen, but it freezes15:13
om26er_floating: first lubuntu and now ubuntu .. both with a problem15:14
om26er_?15:14
floatingdifferent problem now15:14
floatingi'm gonna try ubuntu 9.10 cli install next, then upgrade if it works15:15
om26er_ok15:15
alkisgfloating: why unetbootin? You don't have a dvd drive?15:16
penguin42ever hit a bug that's simultaneously annoying and useful?15:18
floatingi have a cd drive, tried the lubuntu lucid with that too which gave input output errors. I could try this too with cd but I don't know, just have cd-r not rw, and actually only 2 r's left15:19
floatingmost likely wouldnt work anyway15:19
alkisg(just curious) and why did you try with 10.04 instead of the stable 9.10?15:20
floatingp2 400mhz where i want to try out the lubuntu, which has no version for 9.1015:22
alkisgI meant that: "(05:13:06 μμ) floating: grrh. trying the ubuntu lucid iso"15:23
floatingyeah, i just use that to install the cli, where upon i plan to install the lubuntu15:24
om26er_can i install ubuntu on btrfs by some way?15:28
Crashbituh oh! rhythmbox don't show notify icon15:33
floatinggot bypass the problem i had by choosing the expert command-line install. now as i go through these steps iencounter this: download installer components: i choose here http and proxy and so on, but then "no kernel modules were found, ...possible due to mismatch with kernel version u have and available in archive.then it says that the install will probably fail if i continue without15:34
Crashbitand when i start rhythmbox minimized, i can not use15:36
bjsniderdo people still use rhythmbox?15:39
om26er_yes15:39
bjsnidercrikey15:40

Crashbitbjsnider: witch do you use ?15:42
bjsniderno, i don't use witches15:42
om26er_well wel15:42
om26er_Crashbit: rhythmbox is there without an appropriate icon15:42
om26er_why was rhythmbox not replaced with banshee?15:44
om26er_there was an ongoing talk at mailing list then poof15:44
bjsnidergood question15:45
bjsnideri thoguth it was going to be15:45
bjsniderit is certainly inevitable15:45
om26er_and now they are gonna implement music store in rhythmbox so we are really stuck with it even after lucid i think15:46
bjsniderwell, no one is putting a gun to your head forcing you to use it15:47
* om26er_ uses what comes out of box15:48
om26er_(even empathy)15:49
bjsniderthat's your own fault15:49
bjsnideryou've placed that limit on yourself, no one else has15:49
om26er_when i said "we" i spoke for so many people who hate rhythmbox15:50
=== om26er_ is now known as om26er
om26erlike one software management solution(software center) ubuntu should also aim for one media player for both videos and audios15:54
penguin42om26er: I don't think so, I use audio and video in very different ways15:56
penguin42om26er: With audio most of the time it's something going in the background without much interaction; on the PC for video I select each things I want to watch, I don't have the PC choose what to watch - now that might change, but certainly the thing I find important on an audio player is for it to do a good random15:56
bjsniderbanshee could do video/audio well if gstreamer was significantly improved15:58
om26ernetbook launcher is giving segfault and this bug is a month old with 'critical' mark and still not fixed16:04
Crashbitmm16:09
Crashbitrhythmbox reproduce correctly http://crashbit.homelinux.com:8000/playlist.ogg , but banshee stops after every song16:12
Crashbits/reproduce/play16:12
\vishom26er: banshee didnt roll out a release in time for karmic and it supposedly has some a11y issues16:13
\vishwhich would only be addressed by Lucid+1 or +216:14
om26erok16:14
om26erCrashbit: if you add indicator-applet before starting rhythmbox then is there any icon for it?16:17
om26eris there any possibility that default fonts might change to something else in lucid?16:22
\vishiirc there was a session related to default fonts in the UDS16:29
om26er_can any suggest a way to install ubuntu on a btrfs ?17:00
* om26er_ got DC17:02
om26er_which kernel version lucid is using at the moment? 2.6.32.x ?17:09

penguin42annoyingly Lucid seems to require initramfs for plymouth17:56
om26er_why is plymouth still not uploaded to lucid by default?18:02
=== om26er_ is now known as om26er
om26eris it because it adds to the boot time?18:02
penguin42are you sure it isn't? When I ran without an initramfs mountall complained it couldn't speak to plymouth18:03
crimsunom26er: what? It's certainly in Lucid.18:04
om26ercrimsun: you have to install it yourself..18:05
crimsunit may not work for your hardware, it may not be enabled, etc.18:05
penguin42crimsun: Why would plymouth be hw dependent?18:05

om26ermy brother use fedora and when he install the properietry nvidia driver plymouth don't work18:08
penguin42om26er: It's been used in Fedora for a while18:08
crimsunthe proprietary NVidia driver doesn't use KMS18:09
om26erso same case with ubuntu then?18:09
crimsunyou'll need to look to nouveau18:09
penguin42still, as I say why doesn't it just fall back to VESA - why do you need KMS?18:10
om26ernouveau don't work with compiz stuff so..18:10
om26erpenguin42: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/plymouth18:11
om26erscott james remnant reply real quick18:11
bjsniderom26er, the nvidia blob does not provide a kms driver and will not ever be providing one probably18:23
bjsniderbut in plymouth a failsafe driver is supplied if no kms driver is present18:24
om26erlets hope for nouveau to get better (as it is getting better)18:24
bjsniderso it doesn't stop the boot process18:24
alkisgIs nouveuau in the kernel tree now? Or it still needs dkms?18:25
penguin42with nouveu can you run with nouveau up until the point you load the nvidia driver?18:25
penguin42alkisg: It's just got forcibly pushed in18:25
alkisgNice!18:25
alkisgIs it used right now in Lucid? Or it'll be included at a later alpha/beta?18:26
bjsniderpenguin42, no, they are mutually exclusive18:26

joaopintobjsnider, doesn't plymouth just uses text mode when KMS is not available ?18:33
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
joaopintotext mode is not a failsafe driver :)18:34
bjsniderjoaopinto, i don't recall exactly. i asked the question in here and somebody responded.. the point is it doesn't stop the boot process18:35
joaopintobjsnider, but you still don't get the advantage of using a graphical boot, which would be the point of using VESA :)18:36
joaopintofor a lot of people it will be a choice between a graphical boot and 3D support18:37
penguin42if you've switched mode using VESA during boot why can't you go 3D later?18:40
joaopintopenguin42, I am talking about the current status18:42
joaopintowhich is, KMS or text18:43
bjsnideri don't really care, to be honest. i have no dog in that race. if boot time is 10 seconds it doesn't matter a hill of beans18:44
penguin42bjsnider: Same here, Radeon works good for me -and to be honest I think my machine is already at 10s18:45
penguin42(my old machine is ages from it, but my new machine is great)18:45
joaopintoBIOS+10s of running text looks ugly18:50

floatingfew questiosn about partitions and ubuntu20:14
floatingi have a ntfs windows partition in begin of hard disk. then I formatted 1,1gb of ext4 after this where i installed ubuntu 9.10.. now i tried to do dist-upgrade, but there is 27mb of too little space, and apt-get clean doesn't clean me that space. i have only installed ubuntu 9.10 CLI install but still20:15
floatingthen there is 350mb swap after this20:16
floatingafter that is 2gb ntfs partition20:16
floatingcan i  go to windows side for example and make the windows C: a little shorter, and so extend this ext4 that is after it from windows side20:17
floatingor is the starting blocks and what not hardcoded or whatever, so that if it starts from a wrong place, it messes things up ?20:17
guntbertfloating: nothing indicates you have a special lucid problem - so you will get better help in #ubuntu20:18
floatingsure, ts so  floody, and i wanted to write so much, but I'll go there then20:19
guntbert!enter | floating:20:20
ubottufloating:: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!20:20
guntbertfloating: thats for #ubuntu too :)20:20
floatingsorry. well my first line was so long that I wanted to press enter, because my irc client doesn't indicate how much i can write in one entry20:20
guntbertfloating: its no problem in aquiet channel :) I wanted to give you a warning20:22
TeLe_ghostwould anyone describe lucid as good to test on?21:19
TeLe_ghostas opposed to debian experimental21:20
TscheesyTeLe_ghost: ist alpha-sw - so you have to be able to help yourself21:20
guntbertTeLe_ghost: in a VM - always - in a production system - no21:20
TeLe_ghostyes i expect things to go wrong...21:21
TeLe_ghosti more worried about experimental filesystem changes21:21
Tscheesyno existing fs is goinig to be changed21:21
TeLe_ghostwould it be ok to use lucid repos on 9.10?21:22

wooI've found a hilarious bug, but I'm not sure how to collect information for reporting it21:40
woonamely, my mouse is controlled by the gravity sensor in my laptop21:40
wooso to move it, I have to tilt my laptop lol21:41
penguin42oh that is kind of funny21:41
yofelwtf?21:41
wooanyone have any ideas?21:41
penguin42woo: It sounds like your accelerometer is showing up as an input device and the X server is seeing that input device just like any other21:41
wooI'm running a macbook, and I tried modprobe -r appletouch21:41
woo(appletouch is the touchpad driver)21:41
woothat segfaulted21:41
penguin42oh very odd for a macbook, they're hardly uncommon21:42
penguin42woo: I'd submit a bug against the xserver including a copy of v/ar/log/xorg0.log and dmesg21:42
wooit's running a vanilla liveCD at that21:42
woook thanks - I wasn't sure which logs were accessible21:42
woo(by which, I mean applicable)21:42
penguin42they should show what's getting used as input devices and why21:43
woomy touchpad can move the mouse, but once the accelerometer detects anything, it moves it to a specific location on the screen - so the only reliable way of moving the mouse is to tilt the laptop21:43
wooit's actually quite amusing to use :D21:44
penguin42like a marble maze21:44
hyperstreamhenrycoule, you can see the link to Lucid in the topic yes?21:44
henrycouleerrrm......21:45
henrycoulewhere21:45
henrycouleat the top?21:45
hyperstreamhenrycoule, lol, http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/alpha121:45
hyperstreamruns pretty smooth here, few issues comming out of suspended mode, have to reboot. not sure why.21:46
henrycoulelol on the page now21:46
henrycoulei guess i hv to download it but i dont know why karmic wont work for me21:46
henrycouleit actually works by my screen goes blank after the first screen21:46
DanaG1dang, I wish ubuntu had a remote-assistance thing -- even if not integrated into chat, it would be nice.21:47
hyperstreamhenrycoule, i spent hours trying to get karmic working, gave up all hope and had a shot at Lucid and worked perfectly(i was getting a black screen after the boot menu, i could hear it boot up into the desktop(sound)) but full black :) couldnt access any consoles or anything21:47
penguin42DanaG1: Well there is remote desktop21:48
henrycoulewow u had my issues right hyper21:48
henrycouleis Lucid same flavour as Karmic?21:48
henrycoulecos i hv gotten used to the environment and commands21:48
hyperstreamhenrycoule, yeah something with the kernel i think.21:48
* penguin42 licks Lucid - hmm definitely orange21:48
hyperstreamhenrycoule, lol yes its very similar as in enviro/command(s) wise21:49
hyperstreamits ubuntu..21:49
hyperstreamjust the next one comming out after karmic.21:49
henrycoulelol.... we are linux newbies u know!21:49
henrycoulewe keep using it and going off to windows back and forth21:49
hyperstreamAnyhow, how do i go about encrypting a Directory?21:49
hyperstreamhenrycoule, what does windows have that ubuntu does not ?21:50
henrycouleHyper windows is rubbish u know21:50
henrycoulewhy do u think i am here trying to get my ubuntu back?21:50
hyperstream...21:50
henrycouleUbuntu on my formal laptop i culd just use my tools to get into a wireless network and am kewl21:51
henrycouleon windows i used Dreamweaver and Photoshop alot21:51
henrycouleif only i could get those on linux - ubuntu21:51
henrycoulei will never login to windows again21:51
henrycoulebut i  dont get them21:51
hyperstreamerr, Dreamweaver .... use something like Geany on ubuntu. DreamWeaver is horrid. You can install Dreamweaver CS4 is you look around enough, got it on my main box. i have no use for it. html/css is very easy.21:52
hyperstreamhenrycoule, Photoshop --- use gimp on linux. You can installed fireworks however with PlayonLinux.21:53
henrycoulei tried gimp but PS rock with features gimp doesnt hv21:53
henrycouledid u say u install DW on your linux box?21:53
henrycoulei tried installing it using WINE but it didnt work out21:54
hyperstreamYes, google, its rubbish, there is no need for Dreamweaver period. just slows you down. Dont use tables for layouts!21:54
henrycoulenaaaa I code in CSS only21:54
hyperstreami installed with WINE, worked fine. latest version.21:54
henrycoulei moved from tables to CSS as in layout and everything21:54
henrycoulehmmm.....21:55
hyperstreamlies. you need to have HTML markup in conjunction with CSS.21:55
henrycouleWINE never worked for me I dunno y21:55
henrycouleor it was this Karmic!21:55
hyperstreamyou didnt do it right.21:55
hyperstreammy main box with dreamweaver, has karmic installed.21:55
henrycoulemaybe the drivers21:55
hyperstreamdrivers for what?! windows emulation. LOL21:55
henrycouleyup but it complained abt certain drivers and crashes21:56
henrycoulei pasted the errors on their page21:56
henrycoulehow do i get this Lucid?21:56
henrycoulewhat I am seeing is Alpha21:56
penguin42henrycoule: It's possibly a good idea to file (separate) bug reports against gimp for features it is missing that you need21:56
yofelthat reminds me, I actually have a win7 installation that I almost never use with dual boot with lucid, now... every time I boot win7 grub2 is broken and I need to boot a live disk and reinstall it over chroot, ever heard of that?21:57
guntberthenrycoule: of course it is alpha - but you can test with a live CD if maybe your graphics issues will be solved21:57
hyperstreamhenrycoule,  your kidding me right. i gave you a link from the TOPIC of this channel, LOOK AT THE PAGE, and open your eye's and read. it tells you where to download it.21:57
hyperstreamdont be lazy.21:57
henrycoulelol21:57
henrycoulenot that it is my silly internet that I am scared of21:57
henrycoulehell slow21:57
hyperstreamyofel, that is strange. Mine works fine, i have accessed my windows 7 for a few weeks now.21:57
yofelhyperstream: yeah, I think I'll try tomorrow and see if windows somehow modifies the MBR, but I'm confused too21:58
hyperstreamhenrycoule, as for your 'cracking' wireless networks, use Backtrack 4 - LiveCD> good for the war drive.21:58
henrycouleit shdnt if u did it right21:58
henrycouleBackTrack?21:59
hyperstreamyofel, yeah mine doesnt, but im using a legit one that came with my lappy a few weeks before xmas21:59
henrycoulewas grub the main loader?21:59
henrycouleit didnt take me a while to dual boot with ubuntu22:02
henrycoulewin7 installed first22:02
henrycouleand i just install ubuntu and made GRUB the loader22:02
henrycouledone!22:03
henrycouleno issues22:03
yofelyeah, I have 2 notebooks with ubuntu only, work great, and only my desktop with win7/lucid boot is somwhat broken22:05
yofelthe odd thing is karmic + vista worked fine22:05
yofelso I'm not sure if it's the partinioning, windows or whatever that's stupid here22:05
yofel*partitioning22:06
henrycoulethey were both on a different partitions right?22:08
yofelyep, no wubi or something like that22:09
yofelmaybe I'll install grub to the linux partition and use the windows bootloader to chainload22:09
yofel*grub-legacy22:09
henrycoulewin7 was installed first and u later installl ubuntu and u made GRUB to load win7?22:10
henrycoulelike did u install GRUB to partition 0 i mean the boot partition?22:10
penguin42yofel: When you say everytime you boot win-7 grub is broken, you mean when you try to boot Ubuntu afterwards?22:10
yofelpenguin42: what happens is: {bios screen; 'GRUB loading'; system reset}*22:11
yofelfunny to watch22:11
penguin42yofel: Curious, which partition is the grub installed upon? What is the partition layout?22:12
yofelhm... not sure anymore that I remember it right, lemme check22:13
yofelok: grub2 installed to sda MBR, sda1: win7 boot partition sda2: win7 system sda3: lucid root22:15
penguin42yofel: And the rest of grub is in the lucid root?22:15
yofelpenguin42: yes22:16
penguin42yofel: I'd do an fdisk -l, boot into win7, then boot using a rescue disk and do the fdisk -l   and see if anything changed22:17
guntbertyofel: don't forget sudo fdisk -l :-)22:18
yofelhm, good idea, will do that tomorrow if I get some time ;)22:18
yofelguntbert: haha, don't worry :P22:18

yofel*clients22:32
henrycouleoh ok i see it22:33
henrycoulei have to write a lil more of the nick name22:33

henrycoulelike when i type part of the nick?22:45
hyperstreamhenrycoule, yes22:50
