[00:00] crimsun: whenever you can, pasteback your GReader shared [00:18] DOH [00:18] * BUGabundo faceplams [00:18] I just replaced my /home/bugabundo/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key :(( [00:18] can I generate it back from prib key ? [00:21] That's an interesting question... [00:22] I'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. [00:27] RAOF: no. pub key is only part of the priv key AFAIK [00:32] It'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. [00:34] BUGabundo: probably not. Better stating, probabilistic not. [00:35] two primes are chosen, with a specific relation between them. You would have to find the missing prime... [01:22] I need help with grub [01:22] Grub in Lucid [01:23] you should probably state your problem... these guys aren't mind readers [01:24] sorry I have a problem the grub menu is showing up I would like to hide it. Did not have this problem on install [01:25] pasjr: grub2 is hidden by default [01:25] unless you mess with /etc/defaults/grub [01:25] for some reason it has shown up [01:25] I can not find how to hide it again [01:27] I have yet to play with Grub in Lucid, I really like the way it was [01:27] i am a mind reader [01:27] i'm just not very good at it [01:29] The problem just started after the last set of updates, Grub menu list starts on boot up, I liked it better when it was hidden [01:29] I have no clue in lucid how to hide the grub menu again [01:34] ok if any one finds an answer please e-mail me at PASJR@Micro2GB.com [01:35] pasjr, BUGabundo gave you the answer [01:37] not the answer to rehide ok well good night [01:38] ohh but I know the answer [01:38] but I'm not emailing him [01:39] DUDE is a moron :D [01:39] Totally, huge moron [01:39] he has now multiple stanzas === david is now known as Guest80414 [01:39] of course grub is showing up [01:39] unbelievable [01:39] allowing him to choose [01:39] :D [01:39] why did he go way while I tested it ? [01:39] bahh [01:40] I really dislike doing user support [01:40] they are always so impacient :( [01:40] Hmm, maybe it is you who is impatient [01:40] * BUGabundo goes back to hacking android SSH [01:40] You know what they say ? If everyone around you is impatient, maybe it's you who is impatient :P [01:41] ohh that is true... I don't like waiting [01:41] me neither [01:41] I worked on a tech support call centre for 4.5 months, I was going crazy at the end [01:41] but I don't like to make anyone to wait on me either [01:41] I know the feeling [01:41] I have several friends that work like that [01:41] It was bad cause it was always the same problem. [01:41] I do work as a sysadmin / webadmin in a support role [01:42] Guest80414: ehehe [01:42] can't you put a nicer nick Guest80414? [01:42] I am mostly a PHP programmer with some support, fortunately I don't do first level any more :d [01:42] I had David, but the chat nick thing renamed me :P [01:43] and I am too lazy to set a new name cause in a month I am going to reinstall this 10.04 with Alpha 2 :d [01:44] Hey, 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!!" [01:46] that's been changed for awhile now [01:46] since jaunty i think [01:46] yea, I remember. I stayed on Hardy cause of it :P [01:46] and it was changed because it didn't make sense where it was [01:46] I 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. [01:47] I just think of the support nightmare of LTS users upgrading, it scares me :P [01:48] isnt it going to change again? I heard there is going to be a social networking widget or something [01:48] Or maybe an easy to read upgrade guide that displays when the user starts the computer that explains some of these changes [01:48] the me menu [01:49] btw, 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 :D [01:50] I can't wait till 10 second boot time, that's gonna be pretty awesome [01:52] it will be for people who stop and start it a lot [01:52] not for those who run their systems for weeks continuously [01:52] Yes, well for my laptop it's gonna be great [01:53] hey, when my computer resumes from suspend, it takes up to 10 seconds for the mouse and keyboard to respond [01:53] exactly, laptop/netbook users [01:54] how do I find out if it's a ubuntu bug or a hardware bug ? [01:54] sine when has suspend/resume ever worked on linux [01:56] It 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 keyboard [01:59] ok, guess your comment means that it'll never work, so I won't open a ticket :P [02:01] i 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 sure [02:03] Guest80414: your resume works? [02:03] lucky [02:03] mine fails on something, and does a regular boot :( [02:03] I guess its bitching at me, for I saying boot was faster then resume [02:04] The resume works, it just freezes the mouse for 5-10 seconds [02:05] But, yes. It works :) [02:05] BUGabundo, maybe it only fails for blob users [02:05] maybe [02:05] some KMS issue [02:06] I don't know what KMS is [02:06] does it use kms for that? [02:06] i didn't know that [02:06] makes sense i suppose [02:07] but it's safe to say there will never be a proprietary kms driver [02:08] What's KMS ? [02:08] kernel mode setting [02:08] basically kms = pretty boot graphics [02:09] it's a bit more complicated, but that's the jist of it [02:09] NIce [02:09] I 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 it [02:11] When 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 ? [02:13] ahaha [02:13] man you have been LONG gone [02:13] that's a 9.04 change [02:13] when we got notify osd [02:13] this is what happens when you use hardy for two years [02:13] LOL [02:13] i mean come on, be more bleeding edge will you please? [02:14] I am an LTS user [02:14] there's a new distro every six months [02:14] I use to be bleeding edge, I used to run gentoo for pete's sake, [02:15] who's pete ? :p [02:15] I 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 :D [02:15] i expected most lts users to be businesses or organizations, not individuals [02:15] I use my computers for work, so I guess I am a hybrid user [02:15] well, lucid is going to be one heck of a big change then [02:16] actually I tried 8.10 alpha 2, and it worked very poorly with my computer, so I stayed on 8.04 [02:16] it would have been really funny if gnome-shell had been the default in ubuntu [02:16] Apparently support for my video card was dropped in 8.10 [02:16] bjsnider: as was the change to 8.04 [02:16] BUGabundo, i can't remember that far back [02:16] from 6.06.3 [02:17] actually I have 2 servers running 7.04, I gotta upgrade them. [02:17] breezy? [02:17] I am waiting for 10.04 this summer than I migrate all my servers [02:17] dude that's EOL [02:17] i don't believe that [02:17] no that was EOL last year [02:17] this year it's aincient history ;) [02:17] ahahaahaha [02:17] the guy who was responsable for the servers before I got here was not very good [02:18] well I have servers running hpux 11 (circa 1994) [02:18] are you plainning on switching to ext4? [02:18] he 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 run [02:18] why would he? [02:18] ext4 is "edgy" [02:18] it's faster and has quicker fsck [02:19] I liked reisferfs better than ext3/4, unfortunately the guy who wrote it turned out to be a killer :( [02:19] he doesn't have the keep the system down an hour to do a fsck [02:20] I think I'll probably switch to ext4 with 10.04 [02:21] When did ext4 become the default FS in ubuntu ? [02:21] 9.10 I think [02:21] 9.04 was experimental [02:21] oh, so it's still pretty new [02:21] needed kernel .30+ to fix most bugs [02:21] ok [02:21] both ubuntu and FC bring it as default now [02:22] no, its not that new [02:22] been around for 2 years or so [02:22] all 5 people using fedora had it a bit earlier than ubuntu offered it [02:22] I know it's not *that* new, but a filesystem is a pretty darned important piece of the system [02:22] but there where a couple of nasty bugs in kernel ,27 and 28 [02:22] like the io truncate [02:23] and the most severe one, delete files over 1GB or very dispersed [02:23] um.. delete files over 1gb. That sounds good [02:23] my most important server has a 47 gig file on it [02:23] so ppl running 9.04 with .28 kernel are screwed if they try ext4 [02:23] well if you have it, I don't think you are planning to delete it [02:24] wait [02:24] "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] BUGabundo, i think fixes were backported to the jaunty kernel, were they not? [02:25] I notice that 10.04 contains thunderbird 2 and not thunderbird 3, I wonder why ? [02:25] They included firefox 3 beta in the initial 8.04 release, I wonder why not for thunderbird [02:26] Because we don't use thunderbird by default. [02:26] Ok [02:26] Guest80414: Because Thunderbird 3 was just released and the mozilla guys are all on holiday? [02:26] Hehehehe, that's a good reason Amaranth [02:27] RAOF: Not using it is actually a good reason to upgrade it [02:27] lol [02:27] I tried to install it [02:27] found a bug the moment I run account setup [02:27] RAOF: 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] reported it upstream [02:27] they said to open a new one, I did, was closed with can't reproduce [02:28] I uninstaled it :D [02:28] why are people still using mail clients... [02:28] Amaranth: 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] back to kmail :DD [02:28] bjsnider: Because gmail sucks at mailing lists. [02:28] Amaranth: both Firefox and TB are officially supported by Ubuntu Mozilla Team [02:28] does it really? [02:28] gmail is awesome at mailing lists, what are you on about? [02:29] and backported too [02:29] any reason why you guys use firefox, over gnome's browser, but you use evolution not thunderbird ? [02:29] i use chromium [02:29] chromium here [02:29] or whatever it's called [02:29] BUGabundo: but we do special things to firefox (so far as mozilla will let us) to make it work better with our desktop [02:29] true [02:29] its called ubufox [02:30] Guest80414: 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] :p [02:30] and yes, gmail SUCKs a MLs [02:30] ah ok. [02:30] ohhh he didn't... he used an "and ..." [02:30] * BUGabundo ducks [02:31] Hey, any of you people use Gentoo ? [02:32] *deafening silence* [02:32] stupid nautilus and it's stupid DnD grab [02:32] luckily it was just a pointer grab so I could still vt switch and kill it from a tty [02:33] My main interaction with Gentoo is them failing at Mono packaging causing people to file incorrect bugs on Do. [02:33] anyway, 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] RAOF: the WARNING at the bug page isn't large enough [02:33] RAOF, you're kidding me. they failed to properly package mono? [02:33] put some pink flashing letters too [02:34] do bugs |= do-plugins [02:34] RAOF, 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] If 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 plugin [02:35] Amaranth: no proper thread, can't break threads, stimulates users to user the bottom reply, instead of replying to the proper person... [02:35] Amaranth: I like the conversation view, but it breaks threading, and I like threading. [02:35] RAOF: I LOVE THREADING [02:35] threads get far too nested and I lose track of what is going on anyway [02:35] heck I filed 6 separete bugs to kmail [02:35] Amaranth: Also, I don't like the way it handles quotes. [02:35] the autohide bit? [02:35] when they migrated to 4.x all on threadign accoung [02:36] RAOF: ehe android gmail app is worth [02:36] you can't fw it, you can't inline comment, or bottom posting [02:36] it makes me MADDDDDDDDD [02:36] ohh Amaranth join one more: TOP POSTING [02:37] although bettergmail addon makes it do bottom posting [02:37] ok so it sucks that stupid people use it and don't move the cursor :P [02:37] ahhh no digitally SIGNed emails or gpg check [02:37] that's going to be true of all web-based email but that's what firegpg is for [02:39] isn't firegpg broken with gmail? [02:40] I think I am going to try to raise elephants with my ubuntu 10.04 alpha 1 [02:40] it was right after gmail changed but it worked last time I cared to try it [02:42] The elephants have risen === david is now known as Guest52648 [02:43] * Guest52648 was once know as Guest80414 [02:43] known* [02:44] Raising elephants works well with 10.04 [02:44] lol [02:44] that was fast [02:44] Yes, Ubuntu 10.04 boots really fast [02:44] no [02:44] the fact you got kicked by nickserv [02:45] oh yea [02:45] that's fun [02:45] well its late [02:45] I went to bed late last night too [02:45] Late ? [02:45] can't even read my screen anymore [02:45] It's only 9:45 [02:45] 2am Guest52648 [02:45] almos 3am [02:46] 20100102 :D [02:46] Where are you guys ? [02:46] its a palindrome!

[02:50] Good night everyone [02:50] yofel, new 195 blob. let me know at some point if it doesn't work [02:50] bjsnider: will do [02:57] anyone know if 10.4 is going to have a better flash alternative? [03:42] Hello, in Karmic if the wifi is disconnected the new notification system shows it as disconnect, all fine but if it connects it takes a while for the new notification to show up because the ither one is still up, will this be fixed in lucid [03:42] other* [03:58] Has anyone built a transmission beta 3 package? [04:08] there would have to be a compelling reasons to do so [04:12] crashing? [04:12] someone already reported it as a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission/+bug/502197 [04:12] Ubuntu bug 502197 in transmission "Lucid's Transmission beta is outdated -- latest version is 1.80 beta 3 (dup-of: 496503)" [Undecided,Invalid] [04:12] Ubuntu bug 496503 in transmission "Update transmission to 1.80b3" [Wishlist,Confirmed] [04:48] they'll get around to it. no rush === simba__ is now known as simba_ [08:41] The bash process is currently running at 100% cpu. Is there any way to find out what is causing this? [08:50] Hew: you could use strace -p to watch what the process is doing. It may or may not give you something useful [08:55] umask001, thanks for that, unfortunately there's no output though. I'll keep watching it. [09:00] umask001, actually it looks like it's produced 19 lines of this: --- SIGQUIT (Quit) @ 0 (0) --- . Any idea what that is? [09:21] the 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? [09:41] r600_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] i think it should be as the kernel in lucid will have KMS for ati.. [09:43] That 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] Thanks om26er [09:44] fractalis, or don't upgrade and try the live cd to check? [09:45] That 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. [10:04] Hew: 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 weird [10:05] nothing in dmesg since boot [10:06] I didn't insert a USB drive. I was just doing normal desktop activities like switching between windows. [10:07] Hew: no idea what you could file it against then. I'd say ignore it unless it happens again :) [10:08] ok, thanks for your help umask001 [11:37] trying to install lubuntu lucid alpha1. first on cd-rom, getting bunch of IO-errors and eventually kernel panic. After this I tried to use unetbootin to install it from hard disk. when I boot this entry and after loading something, I get kernel panic.

I could try this too with cd but I don't know, just have cd-r not rw, and actually only 2 r's left [15:19] most likely wouldnt work anyway [15:20] (just curious) and why did you try with 10.04 instead of the stable 9.10?

[15:44] there was an ongoing talk at mailing list then poof [15:45] good question [15:45] i thoguth it was going to be [15:45] it is certainly inevitable [15:46] and now they are gonna implement music store in rhythmbox so we are really stuck with it even after lucid i think [15:47] well, no one is putting a gun to your head forcing you to use it [15:48] * om26er_ uses what comes out of box [15:49] (even empathy) [15:49] that's your own fault [15:49] you've placed that limit on yourself, no one else has [15:50] when i said "we" i spoke for so many people who hate rhythmbox === om26er_ is now known as om26er [15:54] like one software management solution(software center) ubuntu should also aim for one media player for both videos and audios [15:56] om26er: I don't think so, I use audio and video in very different ways [15:56] om26er: 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 random [15:58] banshee could do video/audio well if gstreamer was significantly improved [16:04] netbook launcher is giving segfault and this bug is a month old with 'critical' mark and still not fixed [16:09] mm [16:12] rhythmbox reproduce correctly http://crashbit.homelinux.com:8000/playlist.ogg , but banshee stops after every song [16:12] s/reproduce/play [16:13] <\vish> om26er: banshee didnt roll out a release in time for karmic and it supposedly has some a11y issues [16:14] <\vish> which would only be addressed by Lucid+1 or +2 [16:14] ok [16:17] Crashbit: if you add indicator-applet before starting rhythmbox then is there any icon for it? [16:22] is there any possibility that default fonts might change to something else in lucid? [16:29] <\vish> iirc there was a session related to default fonts in the UDS [17:00] can any suggest a way to install ubuntu on a btrfs ? [17:02] * om26er_ got DC [17:09] which kernel version lucid is using at the moment? 2.6.32.x ? [17:10] om26er_: I've never been able to get an answer from anyone as to how the ubuntu kernel relates to the stable rebuilds, if you find out, please share. [17:12] om26er: Seems to be a 2.6.32 [17:13] ok === om26er_ is now known as om26er [17:23] !find linux-image lucid [17:23] !info linux-image lucid [17:24] Found: linux-image, linux-image-2.6.32-300-ec2, linux-image-2.6.32-7-virtual, linux-image-2.6.32-8-386, linux-image-2.6.32-8-generic (and 14 others) [17:24] linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.32.9.9 (lucid), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all) [17:24] * penguin42 is actually running a hand built 2.6.33rc2 [17:24] .32.9 [17:29] penguin42, well roll me up a kernel too, will you please? [17:49] bjsnider: Do it yourself! [17:52] penguin42, that is an interesting point [17:56] annoyingly Lucid seems to require initramfs for plymouth [18:02] why is plymouth still not uploaded to lucid by default? === om26er_ is now known as om26er [18:02] is it because it adds to the boot time? [18:03] are you sure it isn't? When I ran without an initramfs mountall complained it couldn't speak to plymouth [18:04] om26er: what? It's certainly in Lucid. [18:05] crimsun: you have to install it yourself.. [18:05] it may not work for your hardware, it may not be enabled, etc. [18:05] crimsun: Why would plymouth be hw dependent? [18:05] om26er: messing with boot isn't for the faint of heart. Scott has an uneviable task. [18:05] KMS [18:06] penguin42: what om26er said [18:06] it rquires KMS? [18:06] yes [18:06] * penguin42 has thought it would just use VESA stuff for boot things [18:08] * om26er think plymouth won't work for some people in lucid at all [18:08] my brother use fedora and when he install the properietry nvidia driver plymouth don't work [18:08] om26er: It's been used in Fedora for a while [18:09] the proprietary NVidia driver doesn't use KMS [18:09] so same case with ubuntu then? [18:09] you'll need to look to nouveau [18:10] still, as I say why doesn't it just fall back to VESA - why do you need KMS? [18:10] nouveau don't work with compiz stuff so.. [18:11] penguin42: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/plymouth [18:11] scott james remnant reply real quick [18:23] om26er, the nvidia blob does not provide a kms driver and will not ever be providing one probably [18:24] but in plymouth a failsafe driver is supplied if no kms driver is present [18:24] lets hope for nouveau to get better (as it is getting better) [18:24] so it doesn't stop the boot process [18:25] Is nouveuau in the kernel tree now? Or it still needs dkms? [18:25] with nouveu can you run with nouveau up until the point you load the nvidia driver? [18:25] alkisg: It's just got forcibly pushed in [18:25] Nice! [18:26] Is it used right now in Lucid? Or it'll be included at a later alpha/beta? [18:26] penguin42, no, they are mutually exclusive [18:27] alkisg: it will be used in lucid [18:27] linus bullied nouveau into the .33 kernel [18:27] Ah, /me downloads it... ;) [18:33] bjsnider, doesn't plymouth just uses text mode when KMS is not available ? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [18:34] text mode is not a failsafe driver :) [18:35] joaopinto, i don't recall exactly. i asked the question in here and somebody responded.. the point is it doesn't stop the boot process [18:36] bjsnider, but you still don't get the advantage of using a graphical boot, which would be the point of using VESA :) [18:37] for a lot of people it will be a choice between a graphical boot and 3D support [18:40] if you've switched mode using VESA during boot why can't you go 3D later? [18:42] penguin42, I am talking about the current status [18:43] which is, KMS or text [18:44] i 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 beans [18:45] bjsnider: Same here, Radeon works good for me -and to be honest I think my machine is already at 10s [18:45] (my old machine is ages from it, but my new machine is great) [18:50] BIOS+10s of running text looks ugly [18:52] true; I should turn the splash back on in this, I've got it off at the moment [18:52] it's just a shame you don't see that row of adorable boot penguins any more [18:55] crimsun: ping [18:56] crimsun: i'm on a friend laptop [18:56] and his virtual Vista machine as very choppy sound [18:56] crimsun: i'm installing ~ubuntu-audio-dev PPA to see if it helps [18:57] its a HP dv9870 [18:58] !test [18:58] yes, I'm alive. [19:00] well, rebooting and test PPA [20:14] few questiosn about partitions and ubuntu [20:15] i 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 still [20:16] then there is 350mb swap after this [20:16] after that is 2gb ntfs partition [20:17] can 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 side [20:17] or is the starting blocks and what not hardcoded or whatever, so that if it starts from a wrong place, it messes things up ? [20:18] floating: nothing indicates you have a special lucid problem - so you will get better help in #ubuntu [20:19] sure, ts so floody, and i wanted to write so much, but I'll go there then [20:20] !enter | floating: [20:20] floating:: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:20] floating: thats for #ubuntu too :) [20:20] sorry. 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 entry [20:22] floating: its no problem in aquiet channel :) I wanted to give you a warning [21:19] would anyone describe lucid as good to test on? [21:20] as opposed to debian experimental [21:20] TeLe_ghost: ist alpha-sw - so you have to be able to help yourself [21:20] TeLe_ghost: in a VM - always - in a production system - no [21:21] yes i expect things to go wrong... [21:21] i more worried about experimental filesystem changes [21:21] no existing fs is goinig to be changed [21:22] would it be ok to use lucid repos on 9.10? [21:22] How do I use my Ralink 2870 usb with 10.04, it sees my router but fails to connect [21:23] TeLe_ghost: unlikely [21:24] ok well i might just wake 2 weeks for the 2nd build [21:40] I've found a hilarious bug, but I'm not sure how to collect information for reporting it [21:40] namely, my mouse is controlled by the gravity sensor in my laptop [21:41] so to move it, I have to tilt my laptop lol [21:41] oh that is kind of funny [21:41] wtf? [21:41] anyone have any ideas? [21:41] woo: It sounds like your accelerometer is showing up as an input device and the X server is seeing that input device just like any other [21:41] I'm running a macbook, and I tried modprobe -r appletouch [21:41] (appletouch is the touchpad driver) [21:41] that segfaulted [21:42] oh very odd for a macbook, they're hardly uncommon [21:42] woo: I'd submit a bug against the xserver including a copy of v/ar/log/xorg0.log and dmesg [21:42] it's running a vanilla liveCD at that [21:42] ok thanks - I wasn't sure which logs were accessible [21:42] (by which, I mean applicable) [21:43] they should show what's getting used as input devices and why [21:43] my 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 laptop [21:44] it's actually quite amusing to use :D [21:44] like a marble maze [21:44] henrycoule, you can see the link to Lucid in the topic yes? [21:45] errrm...... [21:45] where [21:45] at the top? [21:45] henrycoule, lol, http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/alpha1 [21:46] runs pretty smooth here, few issues comming out of suspended mode, have to reboot. not sure why. [21:46] lol on the page now [21:46] i guess i hv to download it but i dont know why karmic wont work for me [21:46] it actually works by my screen goes blank after the first screen [21:47] dang, I wish ubuntu had a remote-assistance thing -- even if not integrated into chat, it would be nice. [21:47] henrycoule, 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 anything [21:48] DanaG1: Well there is remote desktop [21:48] wow u had my issues right hyper [21:48] is Lucid same flavour as Karmic? [21:48] cos i hv gotten used to the environment and commands [21:48] henrycoule, yeah something with the kernel i think. [21:48] * penguin42 licks Lucid - hmm definitely orange [21:49] henrycoule, lol yes its very similar as in enviro/command(s) wise [21:49] its ubuntu.. [21:49] just the next one comming out after karmic. [21:49] lol.... we are linux newbies u know! [21:49] we keep using it and going off to windows back and forth [21:49] Anyhow, how do i go about encrypting a Directory? [21:50] henrycoule, what does windows have that ubuntu does not ? [21:50] Hyper windows is rubbish u know [21:50] why do u think i am here trying to get my ubuntu back? [21:50] ... [21:51] Ubuntu on my formal laptop i culd just use my tools to get into a wireless network and am kewl [21:51] on windows i used Dreamweaver and Photoshop alot [21:51] if only i could get those on linux - ubuntu [21:51] i will never login to windows again [21:51] but i dont get them [21:52] err, 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. [21:53] henrycoule, Photoshop --- use gimp on linux. You can installed fireworks however with PlayonLinux. [21:53] i tried gimp but PS rock with features gimp doesnt hv [21:53] did u say u install DW on your linux box? [21:54] i tried installing it using WINE but it didnt work out [21:54] Yes, google, its rubbish, there is no need for Dreamweaver period. just slows you down. Dont use tables for layouts! [21:54] naaaa I code in CSS only [21:54] i installed with WINE, worked fine. latest version. [21:54] i moved from tables to CSS as in layout and everything [21:55] hmmm..... [21:55] lies. you need to have HTML markup in conjunction with CSS. [21:55] WINE never worked for me I dunno y [21:55] or it was this Karmic! [21:55] you didnt do it right. [21:55] my main box with dreamweaver, has karmic installed. [21:55] maybe the drivers [21:55] drivers for what?! windows emulation. LOL [21:56] yup but it complained abt certain drivers and crashes [21:56] i pasted the errors on their page [21:56] how do i get this Lucid? [21:56] what I am seeing is Alpha [21:56] henrycoule: It's possibly a good idea to file (separate) bug reports against gimp for features it is missing that you need [21:57] that 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] henrycoule: of course it is alpha - but you can test with a live CD if maybe your graphics issues will be solved [21:57] henrycoule, 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] dont be lazy. [21:57] lol [21:57] not that it is my silly internet that I am scared of [21:57] hell slow [21:57] yofel, that is strange. Mine works fine, i have accessed my windows 7 for a few weeks now. [21:58] hyperstream: yeah, I think I'll try tomorrow and see if windows somehow modifies the MBR, but I'm confused too [21:58] henrycoule, as for your 'cracking' wireless networks, use Backtrack 4 - LiveCD> good for the war drive. [21:58] it shdnt if u did it right [21:59] BackTrack? [21:59] yofel, yeah mine doesnt, but im using a legit one that came with my lappy a few weeks before xmas [21:59] was grub the main loader? [22:02] it didnt take me a while to dual boot with ubuntu [22:02] win7 installed first [22:02] and i just install ubuntu and made GRUB the loader [22:03] done! [22:03] no issues [22:05] yeah, I have 2 notebooks with ubuntu only, work great, and only my desktop with win7/lucid boot is somwhat broken [22:05] the odd thing is karmic + vista worked fine [22:05] so I'm not sure if it's the partinioning, windows or whatever that's stupid here [22:06] *partitioning [22:08] they were both on a different partitions right? [22:09] yep, no wubi or something like that [22:09] maybe I'll install grub to the linux partition and use the windows bootloader to chainload [22:09] *grub-legacy [22:10] win7 was installed first and u later installl ubuntu and u made GRUB to load win7? [22:10] like did u install GRUB to partition 0 i mean the boot partition? [22:10] yofel: When you say everytime you boot win-7 grub is broken, you mean when you try to boot Ubuntu afterwards? [22:11] penguin42: what happens is: {bios screen; 'GRUB loading'; system reset}* [22:11] funny to watch [22:12] yofel: Curious, which partition is the grub installed upon? What is the partition layout? [22:13] hm... not sure anymore that I remember it right, lemme check [22:15] ok: grub2 installed to sda MBR, sda1: win7 boot partition sda2: win7 system sda3: lucid root [22:15] yofel: And the rest of grub is in the lucid root? [22:16] penguin42: yes [22:17] yofel: I'd do an fdisk -l, boot into win7, then boot using a rescue disk and do the fdisk -l and see if anything changed [22:18] yofel: don't forget sudo fdisk -l :-) [22:18] hm, good idea, will do that tomorrow if I get some time ;) [22:18] guntbert: haha, don't worry :P [22:18] yofel: ;-) [22:21] [22:23] Hyperstream can i install backtrack on Lucid? [22:24] henrycoule: instead of typing the whole nickname here on irc you can use tab-completion, like write hy to try it ;) [22:25] ah! thanks am learning quickly [22:25] hype [22:25] great! [22:25] Thats time saving! whew! [22:26] and you don't have to worry that you write a name wrong. you might sometimes ping the wrong person though *g* [22:26] yofel: i see [22:26] aint i doing well so quickly ;) [22:27] how do u know i was typying the names in full? [22:27] because of the capital [22:28] henrycoule: you wrote the leading H in upper case :P [22:29] henrycoule, its a live cd, you can install it or just use it as a live cd- #remote-exploit is the channel for backtrack [22:29] hype kewl thanks [22:30] do u see that? [22:30] yofel: i got it man :P [22:31] henrycoule: note: you just wrote 'hype' right now, notice that there is someone called hype_ in this channel, this confuses the tab-complete [22:32] yofel: ah I see i get it now [22:32] in some client you need to write a bit more of the name in this case, or sometimes press multiple times [22:32] *clients [22:33] oh ok i see it [22:33] i have to write a lil more of the nick name [22:44] henrycoule, you can just keep hitting tab to surf through names [22:45] like when i type part of the nick? [22:50] henrycoule, yes [22:50] type: hy, and hit tab, then it'll select hype_ then hit tab a second time and it'll change to hyperstream [22:51] it doesnt [22:51] it keeps printing hype_ hyperstream in the chat window [22:52] henrycoule, different irc client [22:52] henrycoule: lemme guess, you use xchat [22:52] hyperstream: quassel works like that and some other too, but not all [22:52] nope using Pidgin [22:52] yofel, yeah my bad :) [22:54] time [22:58] test test [22:58] !grub 2 [22:58] !grub-pc [22:58] !grub2 [22:58] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [23:02] just did a update (132mb's of packages) now my sound doesnt function. ;/ [23:04] hyperstream: how can this be? [23:04] anyone got any idea's ? [23:04] sure that nothing got muted somehow? [23:05] pulse has a lot mute switches [23:05] yofel, just tripple checked, up top right/sound gui, laptop 'fn' buttons [23:05] everything is up max [23:05] odd [23:05] tried multiple output options [23:06] let me pastebin this strange stuff in dmesg [23:06] http://pastebin.com/m46909b6e [23:06] hyperstream: against the odd just do another reboot and see [23:08] yofel, can you make any sense of that pastebin ? [23:09] mom [23:09] yofel, seems its selecting DE as my country ? sound be AU [23:10] nope, I don't know much about sound driver issues [23:10] crimsun: still here? [23:11] let me reboot into my previous kernel [23:11] then again, that pastebin seems to be about wireless [23:12] * yofel is tired... [23:14] henrycoule, good tip, rebooted into previous kernel, sound worked, so i continued to boot into the new kernel, working also. [23:15] yay, fix by reboot... [23:15] quite wierd [23:16] hyperstream: enjoy! [23:34] where is everybody? [23:35] hitting the bottle [23:35] * penguin42 watching a video [23:37] * yofel too [23:42] lol [23:42] well i am gonna hit the bed [23:43] see you again yofel and hyperstream been good chatting y'all [23:43] good night [23:43] night mate [23:44] hopefully i shd be back with LUCID on this lappi else I will hit my head against the wall and probably burn the sea n throw the ashes into space :D
