Fallenouat the last summary window00:44
Fallenoui registered the syslog and messages log files, in which the segfault appears if someone is interested00:45

faileasI'm trying to install lucid in a VM, to do a test-run of moving my home server to it in a few months. I'm consistantly getting a failure to install grub- i'm running lilo for now, but i'm wondering if its a known issue, and if i can install grub later01:41
ZykoticK9faileas, i didn't have any trouble installing in VirtualBox, what virt software are you using?01:42
faileasZykoticK9: vmware server.01:42
ZykoticK9faileas, well I'm guessing it's an issue in vmware then...  good luck man.01:42
faileasi've had it fail ~4 times, both with scsi and ide.01:42
faileaseh, its a test rig. Part of the point is i can muck about and not destroy a production system01:43
faileasi just found it odd that its broken01:44

Spirits-SightI am getting this error when trying to start the gnome-shell any help would be great http://pastebin.com/d673f1a6303:36
ZykoticK9Spirits-Sight, seems like gnome-shell might require 3d acceleration to work, last message "KeyError: 'server glx extensions'" do you have an nvidia gfx card?03:39
Spirits-SightI have nvidia card don't know for sure which one, its about  a year ish old03:39
ZykoticK9Spirits-Sight, have you tried installing the nvidia driver?03:40
Spirits-SightZykoticK9: what do I do to fix this issue03:40
Spirits-Sightits installed as far as I know03:40
Spirits-Sight195.22 is verison03:41
Spirits-SightGeForce 7100 / nForce 630i (GPU 0)03:41
ZykoticK9Spirits-Sight, System / Admin / Hardware Driver - is it show as active?  In the list i see green dot on "nvidia_current" but if i highlight it i have a message at bottom "this driver is activated but not currently in use" < but it is???03:42
kklimondajockey doesn03:43
kklimondadoesn't really work right now afair03:43
kklimondacheck if you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf with nvidia entry03:43
ZykoticK9kklimonda, in Alpha2 release notes says jockey doesn't work -- but an update "sorta" fixed it03:43
kklimondaSpirits-Sight, ^03:43
Spirits-SightOK ZykoticK9 thats strange nothing shows up in the hardware driver list NOthing03:43
kklimondaZykoticK9, hmm - didn't work for me yesterday or maybe the day before03:44
ZykoticK9Spirits-Sight, i'd check the directions at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/alpha2 in the Known Issues, near the bottom starting with "Jockey (Ubuntu's restricted..."03:45
* kklimonda is really waiting for 3d support in nouveau.. just enough so we can run compiz :/03:45
kklimondaright now all it support is basic composition and still I find it nicer than nvidia's blob..03:46
ZykoticK9kklimonda, i know that using the Alpha2 on the 2nd or 3rd it DID actually work for me (i might have been lucky, stars and updates aligned sorta thing)03:46
ZykoticK9kklimonda, what do you mean by "basic composition"?  i have compiz and 3d games both running smoothly.03:46
kklimondaZykoticK9, with nouveau? I don't really feel brave enough to install 3d part of the driver03:47
ZykoticK9kklimonda, NO not with nouveau with nvidia binary03:47
Spirits-SightZykoticK9: OK I just did that now what?03:48
ZykoticK9Spirits-Sight, reboot i'm affraid03:49
kklimondaSpirits-Sight, if by "that" you mean sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot03:49
ZykoticK9kklimonda, good call ;)03:49
Spirits-SightZykoticK9: I just finished the sudo apt-get install nvidia-current now I am trying to understand that next step03:49
ZykoticK9Spirits-Sight, instructions say "sudo update-alternatives --config gl_conf && sudo ldconfig && sudo nvidia-xconfig"03:50
Spirits-SightZykoticK9: http://pastebin.com/d18e2c393 after I do the update-alternatives ... ?03:53
ZykoticK9Spirits-Sight, you 'might' want to install libvdpau1 then try running that update-alternatives again03:54
Spirits-SightZykoticK9: same issue / same report03:57
ZykoticK9Spirits-Sight, what if you try "sudo update-alternatives --config /usr/lib/nvidia-current/ld.so.conf" and difference?03:59
ZykoticK9s/and/any03:59
Spirits-SightZykoticK9: update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for /usr/lib/nvidia-current/ld.so.conf04:00
ZykoticK9Spirits-Sight, well, i'm really not sure -- but you might just want to try a reboot04:00
Spirits-Sightok be back04:00
semitonesheyo, will there be an option to dist upgrade from the previous LTS to the next LTS, which is lynx, right?05:36
semitonesjust curious05:36
RAOFsemitones: Yes.05:45
semitonesRAOF: AWESOME!05:46
ZykoticK9RAOF, are you involved with launchpad bugs?  i got a "branch linked" that starts off ~raof/ubuntu/lucid/gnome-desktop-sharp2/fix-lp-516920 is that the same raof?07:18
RAOFZykoticK9: Yes.07:46
ZykoticK9RAOF, and what is that link?07:46
RAOFA branch which fixes the bug.07:47
ZykoticK9RAOF, ahhh thanks, didn't really seem like a web address :)07:47
RAOF“bzr branch lp:~raof/ubuntu/lucid/gnome-desktop-sharp2/fix-lp-516920” would get you the branch.07:48
ZykoticK9RAOF, oh i'm not a programmer (IN ANY WAY) so the branch is of no use to me.  I was just curious what it was/meant.  Thanks for clarifying.07:49
ZykoticK9RAOF, and I'd like to thank you for working on fixing bugs -- Lucid is already AMAZING!07:50
RAOFWhich reminds me.  Time to merge gnome-do-plugins from testing.07:52

bensteinfecto: that's the iste I used too, which is refering that A3 should have been released 2 days earlier - so where is it - was it postponed ?09:43
bensteinfecto: February 4th, 2010 – Alpha 3 release09:44
infectobenste: i`m newbe, so please ask some one elese ;)09:45
bensteas1965: got the wiki page now, this one differs from the info infecto had - which is first Google result, so it looks like it has been postponed09:45
as1965Looks like the ubuntugeek post is out of date. I'd always go to the official wiki page.09:56

BUGabundoMUAUAUA firefox 3.7a2 came out and broke all my addons :(15:55
jorgenhi guys; would you consider it a bug for amarok to ignore directories or tracks with e.g. O umlaut in the name?16:18
xerox1jorgen, do you mean zero umlauts? don't get it...16:21
jorgeni have a directory: motorhead which has umlaut on the second 'o'... amarok doesnt see this directory in the collection, also it skips individual tracks with these kind of characters in it.16:23
jorgeni figured, if the filesystem can handle these things.. so should amarok / kde ?16:24
xerox1yeah, i think your right: that's a bug16:24
jorgenit's actually kind of funny, i created these OGG's with amarok :-)16:24
jorgenok16:25
xerox1nice, add this to your report ;)16:25
jorgeni will16:25

CosmiChaosError creating VDPAU device: 1 i have a Nvidia 8600 GTS :(17:04
CosmiChaosdriver is ubuntu nvidia-current 190.53 all 190.53 packeges from ubuntu incl the vdpau oones17:06
CosmiChaosstill the apps dont work and vdpauinfo just provides Error creating VDPAU device: 1 i but i thought nvidia 8xxx  should support it17:07
ZykoticK9CosmiChaos, did you install "libvdpau1"?17:07
CosmiChaosyep17:07
CosmiChaosis that wrong?17:08
ZykoticK9CosmiChaos, NO it's required :)17:08
CosmiChaosnvidia-185-libvdpau Transitional package for nvidia-185-libvdpau i got that one too, it is versioned 190.53 (pretty freakin)17:09
CosmiChaosme-tv allows me to choose vdpau for video output but it just blackens17:09
ZykoticK9CosmiChaos, i have vdpau working - but NO NOT have nvidia-*-libvdpau17:10
CosmiChaosdo you have nvii remove and try again17:11
ZykoticK9nvii?17:11
CosmiChaossame thing... what?17:11
ZykoticK9what is nvii?17:12
CosmiChaosjust forget the first 4 words except of an i17:12
CosmiChaosxD17:12
CosmiChaosdidnt help17:12
ZykoticK9CosmiChaos, i know this doesn't make sence, but origionally i couldn't get mplayer to use vdpau, so i installed from the vdpau mplayer PPA - i was then told this wasn't required, so I removed PPA/mplayer from system and reinstall using only Repo versions - and it was still working (so i know it can be tricky)17:14
CosmiChaosi dont use mplaye17:14
ZykoticK9CosmiChaos, what are you using?17:14
CosmiChaosme-tv and of course totem17:15
ZykoticK9CosmiChaos, are you sure either of those support vdpau (seen anyone else with it working?)17:15
CosmiChaoshow to change totem video output module at all???17:15
CosmiChaosme-tv supports vdpau17:16
ZykoticK9CosmiChaos, no idea don't use Totem17:16
CosmiChaosit is standard ubuntu video-player17:16
ZykoticK9CosmiChaos, i know, but i still don't use it ;)17:16
CosmiChaosdo you now how to set video module for ubuntu default media-apps either?17:17
CosmiChaosah well it was mediasystem but since vdpau is not working... its not listed i guess17:18
ZykoticK9nope17:18
avbheh17:21
avbnothing new17:21
yofel:/17:23
avbcrap, i really dont want to reinstall it from scratch17:24
avbthen i need to purge tons of the crap and install my apps again17:24
avbthats weird17:24
avbjust weird17:25

ZykoticK9DrHalan, are you using KDE? or some other WM/DE other then Gnome?17:34
zniavremurrine does that i guess17:34
zniavrenew one from git17:35
zniavretry to change the theme to another one without murrine engine17:35

CosmiChaosbjsnider, yep18:03
CosmiChaosbut ill ty again18:03
CosmiChaosbjsnider, still no function18:05
bjsniderok, here's whart you need for vdpau to work on lucid18:05
bjsniderthe nvidia driver should deposit this file: /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so.190.5318:06
bjsniderassuming you're using nvidia-current18:06
bjsniderthere will be symlinks to it as well: /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so18:06
bjsniderthen, you need the libvdpau1 package and an app such as mplayer that can use it.18:07
CosmiChaosrw-r--r--   1 root root  1418016 2009-10-26 11:16 libvdpau_nvidia.so.185.18.3618:07
bjsniderthat file should not be there on lucid18:08
bjsniderremove nvidia-185-libvdpau18:08
CosmiChaoshmm all of the files are 185 i did äls /usr/lib/ -la | grep vdpau18:08
ZykoticK9bjsnider, i agree with everything you mentioned, BUT i don't have /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so.190.53 and i'm using "nvidia_current" and have vdpau working.  just saying.18:08
bjsniderZykoticK9, what do you have instead?18:09
ZykoticK9bjsnider, libvdpau_nvidia.so  libvdpau.so.1       libvdpau.so.1.0.018:09
bjsniderok, that's fine18:09
CosmiChaoshmm18:10
bjsniderwhich one is a hard file?18:10
bjsniderso.1.0.0?18:10
ZykoticK9bjsnider, oh it's working for me - i just wanted to point out that it's a "little" different from what you mentioned :)18:10
CosmiChaossynaptics says they are not installed :( bjsnider18:11
bjsniderZykoticK9, is libvdpau_nvidia.so a hard file or a symlink?18:11
CosmiChaosinstead i got this ones /usr/lib/nvidia-current/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.190.5318:11
CosmiChaoswth18:12
bjsniderthat's fine18:12
bjsnidernow do you have the libvdpau1 package?18:12
CosmiChaosi cnnot remove any driver nvidia-185-vdpau or 190 because they are not installed18:12
ZykoticK9bjsnider, linked to /etc/alternatives/libvdpau_nvidia.so18:12
CosmiChaosyes i have that package installed18:13
bjsniderCosmiChaos, has vdpau ever worked for you?18:13
CosmiChaosi dont remember trying it out before18:13
CosmiChaosused xv and xshm lately opengl18:13
CosmiChaosbut i want to take advance of this feature since a 8600 should do it, dont it?18:14
bjsniderCosmiChaos, nvidia-185-libvdpau18:14
CosmiChaosis not isntalled18:14
CosmiChaosaccording to synaptic18:14
CosmiChaosshould i install it?18:16
CosmiChaosstill im very dissappointed that you cant install nvidia-binary-betas anymore in lucid18:16
CosmiChaosi guess them fixed a lot of vdpau bugs18:17
bjsniderno, you should not install it, but i can't see why that file is there18:18
penguin42ooh we seem to have gained a 'calibrate touchscreen'18:19
bjsnidernot everyone can use vdpau even if you supposedly have supported hardware18:19
CosmiChaoswhy?18:20
bjsnidersometimes the chip is broken18:20
CosmiChaoslol?18:20
CosmiChaosi paid for it18:20
bjsniderbugabundo is in that situation, and also there's a thread about it in the nvforums18:20
CosmiChaoscan you give me that?18:21
* bjsnider slaps CosmiChaos upside the noggin with a large carp18:21
bjsniderno18:21
CosmiChaosok f it18:21
bjsniderZykoticK9, do you have that libvdpau 185 lib in /usr/lib too?18:23
penguin42hmm no wonder this is screwed, gnash got installed18:24
ZykoticK9bjsnider, nope only the 3 libvdpau files18:24
bjsniderCosmiChaos, try removing that file18:25
bjsnidermake sure your system has comparable files to ZykoticK918:25
CosmiChaoswhat file it is a bunch of files and symlink18:25

ZykoticK9http://paste.ubuntu.com/370403/18:26
bjsniderCosmiChaos, have you by any chance used nvidia's installers in the past?18:27
CosmiChaosyep18:27
bjsniderwhat a shock18:27
bjsniderhaving heart palpitations i'm so shocked18:27
CosmiChaoswhy does it, i used --uninstall before remigrating to nvidia-current18:27
bjsniderthey left a whole bunch of cruft behind18:27
CosmiChaosit must be left from karmic dist18:28
CosmiChaossince i gained through upgrade18:28
CosmiChaoswell them drivers were always working well18:28
bjsniderremove every file on your list except the last one. reinstall nvidia-current18:29
CosmiChaosok18:29
CosmiChaos-rw-r--r--   1 root root     6152 2010-01-06 01:51 libvdpau.so.1.0.0 <--- that one too?18:29
bjsniderthe stink of it is, i have packaged those drivers for the past distros going back to hardy so these problems won't happen18:29
bjsniderit's ok to keep that one18:30
bjsniderCosmiChaos, also try searching /usr/lib for anything matching the "185.18" pattern. there could be more cruft18:31
CosmiChaosyou were right i removed all of them plus symblinks18:36
CosmiChaosright now im reinstalling,  im going to reboot then please hold the line :)18:36
bjsnidermake sure your vdpau matches ZykoticK918:37

CosmiChaosbjsnider, dont consider it to be broken18:40
CosmiChaos:(18:40
bjsniderdon't use nvidia's installer18:40
bjsniderit leaves crap behind18:40
CosmiChaoswhat should i use then in your opinion for videos using vdpau?18:40
bjsnidermplayer with smplayer or gnome-mplayer as the gui18:41
CosmiChaosbjsnider, hey just tell the motus to use latest nvidia-binary beta optionally, then I WOULD be all fine ;)18:41
bjsnideri already talked to alberto about that18:41
bjsniderhe said the SMU team would have him killed if he tried to push new nvidia drivers in after a release18:42

charlie-tcaThe worst part is I get 1440x900 default20:19
BUGabundoits not kernel, its nvidia or X20:19
BUGabundoLOLOL20:19
BUGabundoand that's *bad* how '20:19
charlie-tcaSupposed to test the nvidia driver20:19
BUGabundoI purged nvidia-current20:20
BUGabundoand still nothing20:20
BUGabundothis is bad20:20
charlie-tcaI thought I was using the proprietary driver, but when I looked, I don't even have any to pick from20:20
BUGabundoand of course it happens on weekends20:20
charlie-tcaKarmic gives all three20:20
BUGabundoyeah, it was some how dropped20:20
BUGabundoohh we now have nvidia-current20:21
BUGabundoits still there20:21

BUGabundo:(20:21
tkoornbbigras2: no luck, will have to do the autostart trick20:22
charlie-tcaThat should be the default for nvidia20:22
charlie-tcaI am installing karmic right now and will upgrade it with the drivers, again20:22
bbigras2tkoorn: It seems that puting the script in ~/.kde/env instead of ~/.kde/Autostart remove the black screen20:22
BUGabundocharlie-tca: what package name do you have?20:23
charlie-tcalet me go look20:23

* charlie-tca thinks yofel might be right20:26
BluesKajyofel, are you using kdeor gnome ?20:26
yofelBluesKaj: I don't even get to kdm, the boot stops somewhere between mountall and starting getty and network20:26
yofelso I'm stuck without ssh and ttys -.-20:27
yofelright now I'm booting the live disk, let's see what can be done20:27
BluesKajyofel, bummer :(20:27
ZykoticK9charlie-tca, actually i think the nv driver in lucid has been replace by nouveau20:27
BluesKajyofel, try installing from the live cd , but just to / and use manual partitoning, it'll save your config files at least20:28
BluesKajitworked for me this morning, yofel20:29
ZykoticK9yofel, BluesKaj according to Alpha2 release notes manual partioning might be broken20:29
yofelBluesKaj: I'll first try to chroot and install updates20:29
tkoornbbigras2: no didn't work for me20:29
BluesKajZykoticK9, well, itwasn't for me , but i didn't partiton anything , i just set / to the existing one20:30
BUGabundoyofel: charlie-tca: am I right assuming we are in a terrible BREAKAGE state ?20:31
charlie-tcayes20:31
BUGabundoshould we bump the bug ?20:31
yofelseems like it20:31
bbigras2tkoorn: what happen? still the black screen?20:31
BUGabundoHIGH is high enough?20:31
charlie-tcacheck the jockey log, modprobe nvidia fails because it can't find nvidia20:31
BUGabundowhat log?? I can't even start my system!20:32
tkoornbbigras2: yes still black20:32
BUGabundomuch less install anything20:32
Viper1432lol.  as sad as 'broken' is, I'm at least glad that i"m not the only one.  I can work around the default boot by using the recovery option >> net root >> manually start gdm.  but yesterdays updates blew me up good.20:32
BUGabundoViper1432: doesn't work for me20:32
BUGabundogets stuck on GDM login20:32

BluesKajViper1432, I went the long way around and kdm wouldn't start so I booted into gnome /gdm , then removed kubuntu-desktop , thinking I'd use gnome till the fix was in for kde , but kdm was available at the gnome login so i chose it and got kde desktop back ...strangw sruff20:37

Viper1432I'm just testing vanilla "ubuntu", so no kde on mine.20:37

tkoornTscheesy: yes it does, but neither plasma-netbook nor plasma-desktop starts on login20:37
BUGabundorobin0800: then yours is another20:37
yofelBUGabundo: not quite, as the only nvidia pc that I can afford to reboot doesn't boot right now...20:38
BluesKajI'm surprised all you guys on gnome got wacked too20:38
BUGabundoBluesKaj: LOL20:38
charlie-tcaBUGabundo: sure is nv; loadModule: "nv"20:38
BUGabundowell not funny20:38
yofel^20:38
BUGabundoBluesKaj: you got an workign sysmte?20:38
BluesKajis it strictly nvidia that's affected by this ?20:39
BUGabundono idea20:39
BUGabundothat's what I'm trying to figure out20:39
Viper1432I'm seeing the "fedora" plymouth slider on normal .12 kernel boot...I get to the gdm, and can even type password...where it hangs.  switching to tty gives screen full of colored numbers and letters and locks.20:39
BUGabundoso far I got 4 reports of it20:39
DSpairOK, I got my new Lucid machine to boot, but the LVM volumes are not showing up under /dev/mapper. Anyone have a suggestion?20:39
charlie-tcaI load "nv" and "vesa" both20:39
BluesKajBUGabundo, yeah after a whole morning of installing and updating in gnome first20:39
BUGabundoViper1432: that's exactly what I have20:39
BUGabundowell not exaclty20:40
Viper1432yeah BUGabundo , but that means KMS is going, and guess what nvidia cards do NOT like one little bit?20:40
robin0800BluesKaj: I've a laptop with ati graphics20:40
BUGabundoI can't change to TTYs20:40
BUGabundoI can't do ANYTHING20:40
Viper1432the .10 kernel doesn't do that and will at least boot.20:40

BUGabundoViper1432: I don't have that20:40
BUGabundoonly -11 and -1220:40
yofelBUGabundo: that's the funny part here, I can switch F1-F9 fine, but as getty isn't started I have no terminal *-.-20:41
Viper1432BUGabundo,  seriously?  I installed from an alpha2 disc, and then upgraded it once it finished.  So that might be the difference.  I've got .10 and .1220:41
BluesKajBUGabundo, try reinstalling from a live cd , but only to / , using the expert/manaul partitoning option , your config files will still be there20:41
DSpairOK, I just had to restore the VG Backup20:42
DSpairWorks now.20:42
BUGabundoViper1432: I tend to remove older kernels20:42
Viper1432as .10 works swimmingly, I'd say that whatever changed in relation to the .12 kernel and plymouth is the issue as I can boot the .12 recovery and it works.20:42
Viper1432by doing that I'm bypassing the plymouth start up stuff to a root console.20:42
Viper1432then manually starting gdm and from there all is fine.20:42
BUGabundoViper1432: on .11 or .12?20:43
Viper1432.1220:43
BUGabundoand with what driver?20:43
Viper1432select the "recovery" option in grub.  when the "what do you want to do" dialog comes up, select net root console.  It will get you to a terminal with networking, and you can go from there.20:44
BUGabundoI know all of that20:44
Viper1432default AND nvidia BUGabundo .  Tried it with both.  its the only way to get past the plymouth boot up process which is freaking the nvidia cards out.20:44
BUGabundothat's what Im using in -1120:44
BUGabundobut all I get is VESA20:44
Crashbitmm ... sometimes gdm doesn't start with nouveaufb (drm) and nouveau (ddx) ... I'm using NV50 (Geforce 8400GS)20:45
BUGabundo-12 won't even stay on X20:45
Viper1432you can at least get to the logs that way regardless of video drivers BUGabundo .  That was my point.  sorry.20:45
BUGabundoCrashbit: join the  bunch20:45
yofelViper1432: wish that were working... but even that's broken here (I have splash disabled anyway)20:45
BUGabundoViper1432: logs I get easily from recovery20:45
BUGabundono prob there20:45
BUGabundoand I 'm using -11 with VESA20:45
tkoornbbigras2: i did a .sh in env and it works like you said. I had the .dektop in there20:45
BUGabundohow do you think I got pidgin/irc working ?20:46

Viper1432I just joined the QA proprietary driver testing....looks like my first report is going to just say :  fubar.   hee hee20:51
BUGabundoZykoticK9: me too20:51

robin0800Can you disable plymouth?20:56
BUGabundoeheh20:56
BUGabundorobin0800: lets PURGE it20:56
* BUGabundo lookg20:56

BluesKajViper1432, compiz , why bother with it , desktop effects is almost as much fun and alot lighter on the cpu20:56
BUGabundodone20:56
BUGabundolets kill Lucid experience20:56
* BUGabundo stabs BluesKaj20:57
ZykoticK9BluesKaj, "desktop effects" = compiz20:57
BUGabundoI Love my 3D20:57
BluesKajlucid hears voices ...it's alunatic20:57
Viper1432BluesKaj,  I prefer the 'cube'...and so far, the difference in ram/cpu usage between "desktop effects" and compiz on lucid is very minimal.20:57
BUGabundoI need the Expose20:57
BUGabundozoom20:57
Viper1432and ZykoticK9  is correct.  I was actually referring to the full load using the CSSM app and the fusion-icon vs. the "appearance" settings.20:58
BUGabundoand I like the app flipping20:58
DSpairYay!!! Up and running on Lucid with LVM volumes!!20:58
BUGabundolucky you DSpair20:58
BUGabundonow time break X20:58
DSpairBUGabundo: Yeah, it was a PAIN!20:59
BluesKajViper1432, the cube works fine on my setup, no separate compiz installed ...maybe it's integrated into desktopeffects as you implied20:59
Viper1432oh frack. sigh.  I've got to fix grub for my Arch partition again. dammit.  Oh well.  alpha testing means just that.  lol.  BluesKaj ...compiz IS installed if you're using any desktop effects.21:00
BUGabundodefault compiz doesn't enable CUBE21:01
BUGabundoit use walls21:01
BluesKajViper1432, ok ,din't realize that  ;021:01
Viper1432:)  its all good.21:01
Viper1432But yeah, compiz in the default install uses the 'wall'.  you can install a basic effects chooser, or you can install the CSSM which gives access to all the bells/n/whistles.  (plus the fusion-icon which I love.)21:02
BUGabundodon't even get me start with Firefox 3.7b2 MUAUAUA21:02
switchgirlanyone know about haystack?21:03

switchgirlBUGabundo: encryption21:03
BluesKajViper1432, it's cool that the effects work so well on this elcheapo acer extensa 4630Z lappy :)21:04
Viper1432BluesKaj,  I had Arch on my compaq x1000 as default as it worked very smoothly on this 7 year old laptop...but the new lucid is actually as fast.  I was shocked.21:04
* BUGabundo wonders if he can install older nvidia / xorg21:05
BluesKajright Viper1432 , lets hope this latest prob is fixed soon21:05
Viper1432I love ubuntu's community and ppa's and wide support, but I freaking love how fast arch is normally.  Lucid, even with alpha issues, is the first 'buntu that has shocked me with its speed.21:05
Viper1432BluesKaj,  oh it will get fixed.  Been here/done this in the testing stages of things since the warty days, and it always gets sussed out.21:06
BUGabundoViper1432: you know what sucks about this earlier testing:21:08

BUGabundoon the .Desktop file failing to use gksudo21:12
billybigriggeri will most definitely do that21:12
Viper1432billybigrigger,  I don't know about the open source side, but the fglrx drivers have one.  what virtuald  said.  And with the open source side, I believe most of the settings would be handled under preferences/screen.  but guessing.21:12
BUGabundoI keep forgeting to do so, when I'm on an ATI system21:12
* BluesKaj avoids group hugs ...don' want to hurt anyone :)21:12

BluesKajyofel, i just checked /etc/X11/default-display-manager and it's gdm .. strange eh ? :)21:45
yofelBluesKaj: that's what I said :P21:45
BUGabundoyofel: without plymouth right?21:46

BUGabundoyofel: nvidia-current enough?21:52

BUGabundowe got SO MANY nvidia packages21:53
BUGabundoit confuses me21:53
yofel*sigh*21:54

BUGabundo$ dpkg -l nvi* | wc -l > 3121:57
BUGabundoI find that a tiny bit too much21:57
BUGabundobut it could just be me21:57
yofelactually use nvid* (there is a package called nvi)22:00
kklimondaBUGabundo, dpkg -l "nvid*" |grep ^ii | wc -l makes more sense to me22:00
* yofel thought BUGabundo was talking about available nvidia packages, not installed ones...22:01
BUGabundoyofel: not in here $ dpkg -l nvi* | pastebinit  http://paste.ubuntu.com/370508/22:01
BUGabundoyofel: that's available22:01
kklimondaBUGabundo, we have so many packages just to support all the closed crap people are using out there ;)22:03
coz_you know guys I also tried installing nvidia's driver from their site but it froze the system    just thought I would mention that22:03
BUGabundocoz_: DON'T DO THAT22:03
yofeldoes the nvidia driver from the site actually work now that we use alternatives?22:03
BUGabundocoz_: I think we figured the bug is in plymouth22:04
BUGabundoI must update my bug :\22:04

coz_BUGabundo,  oh   mm ok22:04
BluesKajyofel, it does ?22:05
kklimondayofel, and does it really make sense to use upstream driver instead of the one provided by Ubuntu? we don't support some nvidia cards?22:05
yofelhm, then again, I'm not sure22:05
yofelkklimonda: I was just wondering, I know we don't support the driver from the site22:05
* kklimonda actually hopes that ubuntu devs are going to make it even harder to install nvidia/ati drivers from their site..22:06
yofelBluesKaj: is 'ubuntu-standard' installed on kubuntu? That's the package that recommends plymouth right now22:06
BUGabundokklimonda: its not.22:07
bjsnideryou cannot install the nvidia driver using nvidia's installer anymore without removing jockey and a bunch of other stuff22:07
kklimondait is hard enough to help people who use drivers tested by us.22:07
BUGabundoits been like that since I recall22:07
kklimondabjsnider, thank god22:07
yofelbjsnider: good :)22:07
bjsniderwe will have the drivers packaged ourselves to avoid all of the problems that happen with the nvidia installer22:08
BluesKajBUGabundo, no but I got a dialog box saying /usr/share/kdm/apps etc could not be found22:08
yofelBluesKaj: me too, see what robin0800 said a while ago22:09
BluesKajright22:09
kklimondabjsnider, and what are we going to do when nvidia release a new version and people start trying to install it to "fix" something? :/22:09
bjsniderit won't work. the installer will not run22:09
bjsniderit will be packaged by me or someone in a ppa22:09
bjsniderprobably multiple ppas22:09
kklimondabjsnider, you underestimate people22:10
BluesKajyofel, i think you're right , plymouth seems to be included in the latest kde4 series22:10
kklimondathey are going to create custom scripts, dozens incompatible PPAs and god knows what else :)22:10
bjsniderlook, if they want to wreck their systems, fine. i say let them. they'll have only themselves to blame22:10
ZykoticK9BUGabundo, i just restarted and on first attempt GDM did freeze but using alt+sysrq+k gdm restart and i was able to log in -- do you get the same thing?22:10
bjsniderwhat will happen is they'll pooch their systems to the point that they'll have to wipe & reload22:10
yofelBluesKaj: I know the kubuntu devs want to use plymouth for lucid, they just don't quite get the time to do something with it22:10
BluesKajyofel, well, what does is actually do , like a hidden boot manager or....?22:11

Viper1432bjsnider,  I'm going to have to disagree with your assessment about pooching systems.  I've been using the nvidia drivers and the BETA nvidia drivers for years.  I've never "pooched" my system.  For some of us, testing the latest nvidia drivers are as important as testing ubuntu for certain things.  Forcing us to wait for ppa's that may or may not be updated on time is not a solution.  Not griping, just another viewpoint.22:18
BUGabundoyofel: going terribly OT and NSFW I think this is the cause: http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/insight/ebp0umMBBZvJrZBVgxazDvce6Ip1fnJCraV3iCcdk4dItGdZgljEet9MlyMC/jamie.jpg22:18

BUGabundoBluesKaj: Free/Libre Open Source Soft22:33
BUGabundoif *you* don't know that, I'm doing something very wrong22:33
bjsniderViper1432, xorg was changed in lucid to use alternatives, which the nvidia installer doesn't. if you remove key parts of the system to use the nvidia-installer in lucid, you will pooch it.22:38
BluesKajBUGabundo, I'm not very "informed" about phones etc and other gadgets. I own a cell phone but it's just another phone to me , not a lifestyle statement ;)22:38
bjsnideri don't own a cell phone or any other handheld device22:39
Viper1432bjsnider, I didn't say that wasn't the case NOW, I'm talking about a longer term more reasonable solution.  PPA's are fine and dandy...IF they are maintained, but I've seen a lot of the "abandoned" in the ppa department, so that was me being skeptical.22:39
BUGabundobjsnider: you live in alasca or soemthing ?22:39
bjsniderBUGabundo, i don't want a damned electronic device telling me what to do22:40
BUGabundothen shutdown your PC, tv, washing machine22:40
bjsniderViper1432, my ppa and xorg-edgers will not be abandoned22:40
bjsnideri tel those devices what to do22:41
Viper1432bjsnider, My bet is that nvidia will adjust their installer to deal with ubuntu's changes.  I'm not trying to disparage "you", but the first letter in PPA = "personal", and that doesn't equal officially supported.22:42
bjsniderxorg-edgers is maintinaed by the xorg devs22:43
Viper1432doesn't matter.  ppa's are not "official".  They aren't designed to be.22:43
penguin42they're personal!22:44
bjsniderofficial driver updates have to get past the SRU team, which is why they don't usually end up getting into the distro archive. so they're put in ppas instead22:44
Viper1432Like I said, my bet is that nvidia will update their installer to deal with the lucid changes...they have already begun mentioning the changes to lucid  in the nvforums.  Not worried about it over here.  But its cool that there are alternatives such as the edgers ppa.22:45
Viper1432besides, worst WORST case scenario on my end is that its all buggered and not fixed....I switch to Arch as my primary distro and live happily ever.....er....well to the next "-Syu".  heh heh22:46
bjsnidereven if they change the installer it still won't work. it has been disabled in ubuntu.22:46
kklimondabjsnider, how can ubuntu prevent nvidia/ati from creating the installer that works with lucid?22:48
kklimondaubuntu devs*22:48
Viper1432funny.  the word "disabled" feels a bit like, oh...I don't know....a closed source application.  And I'm thinkiing that if you were right....then its time to start thinking about another distro.  But I don't think you're right.  It might be "disabled" now in alpha for testing bug fixing, but we shall see what happens down the road.22:48
BUGabundokklimonda: talking to them ?22:49
bjsniderthe nvidia installer has ubuntu extensions in it, as a result of a request. those extensions can be used by jockey to block the installer from being used22:49
kklimondagreat22:49
kklimondaBUGabundo, I've never really had much luck with talking to nvidia ;)22:50
bjsniderthe nvidia installer is blocked as long as jockey is in there. jockey is a core ubuntu app22:50
bjsnidera clever user could circumvent the blockage, but it would result in a big fat "no x screens found" error, or the like22:51
bjsniderViper1432, http://paste.ubuntu.com/370402/22:53
bjsniderthose file were left behind even with the --uninstall option by the nvidia installer22:53
bjsnidermost of those files anyway22:53
Viper1432Look, I really don't know who you are bjsnider , or what your place in the ubuntu ecosystem is, but if ubuntu starts restricting folks from using what they WANT TO USE, especially gamers who sometimes NEED the latest/greatest drivers, then there will be screaming in the streets methinks.22:54
BUGabundoany DNS experts around ?22:55
bjsniderthere's no "if" about it22:55
Viper1432Oh and bjsnider , nvidia separated out the VDPAU stuff from the nvidia driver awhile back.  vdpau is considered a separate package, so its understandable that those files would remain after an uninstall.23:03
penguin42BUGabundo: I wouldn't go that far - but ask the question23:04
BUGabundopenguin42: pvt23:04
Viper1432bjsnider,  this thread has more info on the vdpau stuff.  page 3 for info on vdpau versioning. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=13888023:05
bjsniderno it isn't. they were installed by the nvidia installer, so that should remove them.23:05
Viper1432as I said, that thread has more info regarding the vdpau stuff.  I'm outta here for a bit.23:06

ZykoticK9Bookman, probably after install(or reinstalling) flashplugin-installer it will23:54
BookmanZykoticK9, but they work under FF23:55
ZykoticK9Bookman, PLUS with Chromium you can use the YouTube HTML5 video beta (youtube.com/html5 for info)23:55
