I tried a reinstall in apt but did add them back [00:01] BUGabundo, I still cannot figure out how you got that apple site to work. [00:02] Bookman: what apple ? [00:02] the game site? [00:02] BUGabundo, yes [00:02] I still have the old java plugin from SUN [00:02] BUGabundo, ah, got you. [00:54] I wish plymouth and mountall gave useful debug [00:54] do you need an hammer penguin42 [00:54] heh, plymouth doesn't do anything for my system. literally does nothing.

It seems to look for a couple python-lazr packages that aren't in the repos [01:01] ripps, you can't currently [01:01] kklimonda: okay [01:10] Anyone know of a good old fashioned side scrolling game? I tried the Abe's Aventure one but it only comes up with a black screen and I have to power cycle to get out of it. [01:11] sonic? [01:11] kermiac: LOL [01:11] * kermiac chuckles [01:11] couldn't resist [01:12] side scrolling game? er... supertux? [01:14] yofel, supertux also has graphical problems [01:15] then I somehow doubt that it's the games fault... [01:15] kermiac: now you made me nostalgic and I want to play it :( [01:15] Hmm... indicator applet doesn't hide empathy anymore. I liked that feature [01:15] yofel, ok [01:15] BUGabundo, use GensGS ;) [01:15] nope [01:16] I should [01:16] tried to put loki in it... FAILED :( [01:16] * BUGabundo cries [01:16] hey BUGabundo there's an opensonic or something similar around [01:16] Bookman: then again, haven't played it in a while, so maybe it broke in the meanwhile [01:16] kermiac: link me up [01:16] http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAgQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fopensnc.sourceforge.net%2F&rct=j&q=open+sonic&ei=fxRuS_yWCYvi7AOljvC3DQ&usg=AFQjCNHf6ZdoaLy-nrsfFau_Ja3lmEnqBA [01:16] oops [01:17] stupid google [01:17] http://opensnc.sourceforge.net/home/index.php [01:17] hm, auto-url-shorening would be a nice IRC Client feature :D [01:17] *shortening [01:17] * kermiac agrees [01:18] yofel: ohh there are a few that do it [01:18] I have a friend that has it on his [01:18] u remember what client he uses? I'm using quassel atm due to client - server goodness [01:19] no, bad memory [01:19] let me ask him [01:19] don't expect RT reply [01:21] Any other scrollers to try? [01:22] kermiac: thanks for the link. ppa added, game installing [01:22] gotta have a look through the qauassel scripts page, surely someone's made a url-shortner script [01:22] np BUGabundo - if you're anything like me it is VERY addictive, lol [01:23] try snailmail [01:24] or akinator [01:24] I can't even visit that site, I get hooked [01:24] * kermiac grins [01:24] Man, every game I try, full black screen. [01:24] graphics issue? [01:25] Kind of obvious :) [01:25] yeah, I've got a knack for stating the obvious at times :) [01:26] what card u running? [01:26] ATI Radeon XPress 200M === DanaG1 is now known as DanaG [01:26] Works fine with everything else [01:28] you got the opensource or proprietory drivers installed? also, u running lucid or karmic? I'll try to reproduce on my ati machine [01:29] I'm running an updated 10.04. I'm also running the opensource (default) grafics driver [01:30] I can run Compiz with no issues. Very fast actually. Video is also not a problem. [01:31] I've not had much luck with the opensource ati drivers... you thought about installing catalyst drivers? 10.1 was released a cpl days ago [01:33] kermiac, scared to. Not sure if they will work and be stable with 10.04 [01:33] ok Bookman, I'm just wating for my lucid vm to finish updates & I'll be a guinea pig for you :) [01:33] kermiac, that would be just awesome! [01:34] This is not a production machine, but it is wireless only. [01:34] That can cause many problems [01:34] no probs - that's the beauty of vmware. gotta luv snapshots [01:34] hmm [01:34] anyone had issues with the latest grub update [01:34] can't seem to get past configureing grub-pc [01:35] there's an option to "continue without installing grub" but that sounds dangerous [01:35] btw - this is in lucid [01:37] I always get mixed up by the names [01:37] nvm, that was the only option that would let me get past it [01:37] lucid = 10.04 [01:37] I don't need url shortening; all I need is for google to stop mangling the stupid URLs! [01:38] I just chose to continue without installing otherwise it refused to continue the upgrade. will see what happends with a reboot [01:38] Yeah, I understand the naming....I've been messing around since 7.10, whatever that was! [01:38] * kermiac agrees with DanaG [01:39] kermiac, thanks for the Open Sonic link BTW - it's pretty cool (but i can't play fullscreen :( as I'm running twinview and there doesn't appear to be an option for 1280x1024 which would auto shutoff one monitor) but thanks man [01:40] no probs ZykoticK9 :) [01:42] well, choosing to continue didn't kill it. rebooted without any issues :) [01:44] I'm just rebooting again with lucid hdd. I'll let u know how the catalyst driver goes Bookman [01:45] kermiac, awesome, thanks! [01:45] np [01:45] I'm watching Space 1999 in the meantime! [01:45] Love retro [01:45] yup, gotta luv retro movies! [01:47] Ultra futuristic when I saw it for the first time [01:47] Damn doors still do not open by themselves! [01:51] Is there some way to hide the empathy tray icon, It kinda clashes with my theme. I want to keep it hidden until I call empathy from the indicator-applet [01:57] bah, just killed grub on my lucid hdd. gunna have to do a re-install. totally user error :( [02:04] back [02:04] I blame kermiac for my lost time [02:05] did it succeed? ;) [02:05] * kermiac chuckles [02:05] i warned you BUGabundo :) [02:06] got stuck after a several levels [02:06] reminds me of the time spent playing x-moto [02:09] now who's being nostalgic? I have very fond memories of x-moto :) [02:10] kermiac, well? Did it work? I've downloaded the latest X200 driver but it is dated March of last year [02:10] re-install's at 80% Bookman, will be able to test soon [02:11] I foobarred my install - but not due to catalyst driver, due to me being stupid, lol [02:11] Perfectamundo [02:11] at least we know it'll be a fresh install, lol [02:19] kermiac: what did you do? [02:19] very few things can't be repaired [02:21] left a ghost cd from work in the drive & it automatically wipes the hdd & starts installing stuff. Like I said - totally my fault [02:21] anyway. got the fresh install now :) [02:21] That's a nasty CD... [02:22] yup, I forgot it was in there from when I was doing work stuff earlier today :( [02:22] oh well, lesson learned [02:22] eheh [02:22] rebooting now after installing ati driver Bookman [02:23] yeah that's makes it hard to restore [02:23] yeah, that it does [02:23] Good luck kermiac [02:24] not looking good. I just remembered reading that lucid is running X.Org Server 1.7.x & the catalyst drivers don't support it [02:25] I think I just remembered the hard way though, lol [02:25] lemme see if i can find the link [02:25] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzk1MQ [02:27] yup, the catalyst drivers are no good yet Bookman. Glad i checked it out before you installed [02:28] sorry for getting your hopes up [02:29] oh well, that's it from me for now [02:30] I'm off to go do some outside work. see you all later :) [02:31] I appreciate the trial on my behalf! Thanks a ton. [02:31] no probs Bookman I'm just glad I decided to try before killing your system, lol [02:32] wish I had remembered about that link earlier, lol [02:32] Can you recover kermiac? [02:32] yeah, it's no probs. Only takes 10 - 15mins to re-install. It's not my main system so it's all good [02:33] i could recover but it's probably not worth the hassle when re-installing is a much simpler option [02:33] time to head to bed [02:33] cu tomorrow [02:33] anyway, I've gotta get some work done outside before it decides to rain again. cya later [02:34] bye BUGabundo have fun with sonic :) [02:34] eheh [03:43] !daily [03:43] Daily builds of the CD images of the current development version of Ubuntu are available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ and http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [03:43] are the dailys down? [03:43] ChogyDan, working here [03:44] ZykoticK9: really? where did you get it? I got it yesterday, and it failed to install [03:44] now today, it doesnt seem to be there. ? [03:44] ChogyDan, OH i thought you where asking if the site was down. sorry [03:45] ya, the site is there, but I don't see the iso. O well! [03:45] ChogyDan, if i go into the Source directory i see a lucid-src-1.iso is that it? i just went with Alpha2 myself [03:46] ZykoticK9: 2.5g :) I bet that is the source. [03:46] ChogyDan, sure enough - sorry - i have no ideas [03:46] thats ok, thanks for the effort [03:57] I've downloaded Alpha 2. and I did some updates. after some updates It will be beta on my machine right? [03:58] Damascene: in theory, when beta gets out of course [03:59] Damascene, Beta1 doesn't come out for a while [03:59] may I ask, why did you say "in theory"? [04:00] bugs, thought I've never had much of an issue [04:01] well, it should update to beta just fine... [04:02] Damascene, FYI 19 more days until Alpha 3, and 40 more days until Beta 1 [04:02] I see. is there to know that from my system? like a command or something [04:02] I see thank you [04:03] *is there any way [04:03] Damascene, any way to know what exactly? [04:04] if I'm using alpha or beta [04:05] Damascene: not really, as those are just artificial milestones to make planning easier [04:05] Damascene, i don't think so it just says "development version" or something righ tnow [04:06] usually just make sure you have all updates installed and check the schedule where we are right now [04:07] thank you all. I've to go know. [04:07] *now [04:07] :) [04:30] I'm having an issue with "gnome-screenshot" and would like to submit a bug, but "ubuntu-bug gnome-screenshot" tells me that "Package gnome-screenshot does not exist" should I be using just Gnome as bug source? [04:31] ubuntu-bug gnome-utils [04:32] i.e., the gnome-utils binary package provides /usr/bin/gnome-screenshot [04:32] crimsun, thanks - may i asked how you where able to find the parent package? [04:33] I used dlocate, but you can use dpkg -S or apt-file [04:33] or http://packages.ubuntu.com [04:33] crimsun, thanks [04:33] or, !find /usr/bin/gnome-screenshot [04:34] crimsun, that's a lot of options [04:34] (or not, I may have screwed the syntax) [04:47] hi everyone, in dolphin all of the folder icons have now been replaced by printers? === Richie is now known as WelshDragon [05:54] which driver should i be using for an ati mobility 4200hd? [05:56] ati [05:56] can't tell what im using, as i have no xorg.conf [05:56] Then you're using the correct driver. [05:57] You can find out what you're using by checking /var/log/Xorg.0.log [05:57] Or opening System->Administration->Log File Viewer & checking Xorg.0.log there. [05:58] just a bunch of (II) RADEON(0): Modeline [05:58] not much info [05:58] billybigrigger, "lspci -nnk" might be of some assistance < just learned that command tonight, well the -nnk part anyway [05:59] nice command [05:59] well nice flag i should say haha [05:59] kernel driver in use: radeon kernel modules: radeon [05:59] billybigrigger: Searching for “driver” in Xorg.0.log will find you the various drivers X is using. [06:00] You'll be using ati, which is an alias for radeon. [06:00] billybigrigger: If you have a bunch of RADEON lines in your Xorg.0.log, you're using xserver-xorg-video-radeon. [06:00] As I understand it, there's no particularly good reason to use anything but radeon. [06:01] fglrx has better 3D support for some cards. fglrx is also a pain in the backside and I loathe it. I'd recommend radeon almost always. [06:01] Oh, yeah. What I actually meant was “there's no particularly good reason to use radeonhd over radeon”. There are obvious reasons to use fglrx. [06:02] with Lucid it is becoming even more clear Nvidia is the gfx of choice for linux (or ubuntu anyway) [06:02] ZykoticK9: xserver-xorg-video-radeon is getting better each release. R6xx cards (including the one I use) now have basic 3D support using the Free driver. I'll stick with ATI myself. [06:03] Why? Because there'll be a basic-functionality nouveau package? [06:03] R600 works fine for me [06:04] rww, RAOF lucid introduces not only the Nouveau driver, but special nvidia support (3 drives simultaneously installed) [06:04] anyone use linux putty? [06:05] why would we [06:05] cant seem to get it to paste into putty screen [06:05] idk why you would, but i use it [06:05] why do you use it [06:05] stores a lot of sessions [06:05] easy to click on one and load it [06:06] answering questions with questions... [06:06] bad habit [06:06] but it's natural when you think someone is doing something stupid [06:06] though, you have a good point [06:06] ok sherlock holmes [06:06] anyone else? [06:08] skydrome, i use putty if i'm in a windows environment, but in linux i just stick to the regular terminal (i create shortcuts to the different servers i connect to) [06:08] I personally upload my public key onto all servers and make an alias for every server in .ssh/config [06:09] so I just "ssh alias" and the magic happens [06:09] *I* use GNOME Do to do my SSH. Throw the configuration in .ssh/config, and I can shell in with the Do SSH plugin :) [06:09] ok how do i use my private keys using ssh? [06:10] RAOF, yes but all of the gnome-do devs are shifty characters [06:10] skydrome, you seem to be getting better answers here then in #ubuntu :) [06:10] lol i know right [06:10] skydrome: have a file called "id_rsa" in .ssh/ (which is the private part) [06:11] I don't know how you have generated the key [06:11] ok thanks [06:11] i used puttygen [06:11] the file should start with a line saying "BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY" [06:11] right [06:13] ok well i guess ill start making some alias's :) thanks hifi [06:14] Host alias\n\tUser \n\tHostname [06:14] to .ssh/config [06:15] also the very little known controlmaster setting is a must [06:15] Host *\n\tControlPath ~/.ssh/master-%r@%h:%p\n\tControlMaster auto [06:15] whats the diff between dsa and rsa?

[08:27] tgpraveen: nope [08:28] :-( [08:28] tgpraveen: but it should be in time for lucid.. notify-osd has stalled for some time... they will pick it up again at some point [08:28] before release [08:29] vish: hmm iirc the notify-osd related blueprint said it was all postponed [08:29] they really haven't worked on anything in this area this cycle [08:29] tgpraveen: which? i dont think so..

[09:45] tmw, right now it is alpha 1 [09:45] tmw, if you have Lucid right now it's ALPHA - before beta [09:45] sorry alpha 2 [09:45] ok [09:46] coz_, tmw actually alpha 2 (you got it) [09:46] tmw, I guess you are having issues ? [09:46] i need the gnome 3 support [09:46] in ubuntu [09:46] tmw, gnome 3 will NOT be the default in Lucid [09:47] tmw: you can run gnome3 in Ubuntu as of now [09:47] so any way is there i can get it? [09:47] gnome3 and gnome-shell aren't the same thing. [09:47] ah and that too ^ ;) [09:47] tmw, gnome-shell is the interface that gnome3 will use - it can be installed in Karmic or Lucid [09:48] Assuming you actually mean gnome-shell, which is in karmic anyway, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell, and then run gnome-shell --replace, I think. [09:48] but how i can install it? [09:48] any website? [09:48] or command [09:48] sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [09:48] tmw: read what rww wrote :) [09:48] ok [09:49] there is a gnome 3.09 beta [09:49] never tried it though [09:49] i got another question [09:49] is there any way in which i can break the apt lock [09:50] so i can run many apt commands [09:50] no [09:50] tmw, i don't think so [09:50] ok [09:52] IN PROGRESSS [09:52] nix the gnome3 beta I mentioned [09:54] hmm [09:55] tmw, did you try it?

[10:32] or buy them? [10:33] now you need to have the original pc-game than download a linux-native isntaller for that content: http://www.liflg.org/?catid=6 [10:34] the installer is useless without the content since it only replaces the main executables [10:35] i dont know if the loki installer would work nice with latest kernels because the loki software is closed since 2002 [10:35] how can i manage user groups and permition by graphical interface in lucid? it seems that there is no a dedicated utility in the system setting panel [10:35] anyhow the installers site updated 2010 with happy new year and too provides beta installers for many more games [10:36] Gnome-Menu > System > System Administration > Users and Groups [10:37] CosmiChaos: im using kubuntu [10:38] tmw, actually http://www.epicgames.com/ is providing some stuff too [10:39] hey [10:39] tmw, or you can explore http://www.linuxgamepublishing.com/ [10:39] after the last update and restarting my system i can no longer mount my USB device [10:40] tmw, since all the sites i gave you give plenty of free DEMOs you are free to test [10:40] CosmiChaos: to whom can i ask for my problm [10:41] i get a msg whenever i insert a USB disk .

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [11:09] even m not able to run wifi-radar http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4759d891 [11:16] coolbhavi: How have you installed wifi-radar? Because that indicates that you don't have its dependencies properly installed. [11:16] RAOF, through aptitude [11:17] And do you have python-gtk2 installed? [11:18] yeah [11:18] root@bhavani-laptop:/home/bhavani# apt-get install python-gtk2 [11:18] Reading package lists... Done [11:18] Building dependency tree [11:18] Reading state information... Done [11:18] python-gtk2 is already the newest version. [11:19] There's obviously some bug happening, then. Try running “python” and typing “import gtk” to see if that works. [11:19] I'm not going to be able to help you to debug, because I'm off, but that looks to be where to start. [11:19] Alternatively you can simply file a bug against wifi-radar [11:20] >>> import gtk [11:20] Traceback (most recent call last): [11:20] File "", line 1, in [11:20] ImportError: No module named gtk [11:20] Well, so your python-gtk2 would seem to be broken. [11:21] so shall i purge python-gtk2 n reinstall? [11:21] Probably won't hurt. [11:22] okay [12:51] How broken is lucid atm? [12:52] ueu001: that depends on the hardware you're using, how many bugs you can tolerate and the current star constellation [12:53] yofel: is there something critical that is not working or borked?I can handle most things, but if the kernel/grub/etc. is broken, then I cannot get to the desktop [12:53] we did have a discussion about unbootable systems yesterday [12:53] seems to be plymouth (and possibly nvidia) related [12:55] ok thanks, I will wait a while and possily consult the forums/mailing lists about that [12:55] I'm trying to find bugs tbh [12:55] I thought this was alpha [12:55] feels more stable than 9.10 on release :x [12:55] heh [13:42] !schedule [13:42] A schedule of Lucid Lynx (10.04) release milestones can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [13:45] Hey folks [13:46] Hey BluesKaj [13:46] hi Damascene [13:48] wonder if the login/plymouth is fixed on kde4.4 yet , been using the gnome login screen with kde desktop [13:53] BluesKaj: Things can get very confused; my karmic box has had kde, gnome and xfce installed - I get a xubuntu boot screen, gdm, and a kde shutdown I think [13:56] hehe, yeah penguin42 , I use gnome to rescue my install due to the kde4.4 instability , but this latest prob has no preference it's plymouth apparently which is also a part of kde , from what the experts tell me. [13:57] I cheated and did reinstall to / from the latest lucid [13:57] hi there [13:57] the config files are retained so it's jaust a small bit of bother to restore some non default apps [13:57] my computer always crashes (xserver dose apparently cause sound works) when hitting enter [13:58] hi jakubo [13:58] any idea? [13:58] anyone with pidgin installed? [13:59] after crash when i enter anything via keyboard i can see grey spots moving in the upper taskbar [13:59] not me [13:59] does it rstore the desktop after a few secs , [13:59] nope [13:59] jakubo, nvidia card? [13:59] alex_mayorga: BUGabundo uses pidgin, he's not here right now though [14:00] and i have to fix the filesystem on the disk (but that might be due to raid0 - sotfware) [14:00] yes [14:00] I saw black, white, gray garbling at the top of the lcd the other day [14:00] jakubo, is gdm borked as well [14:01] borked? [14:01] yeah! it looks like a bunch of black, grey and brown lines [14:01] actually i dont really know where gdm starts and where it ends so i cant tell you [14:01] yeah quite like that [14:01] its just not lines [14:02] oh and, i cannot switch to any console [14:02] cause they ... dont really exist [14:03] just different letters and signs all over the screen [14:03] so its the nvidia driver? [14:04] jakubo, use the latest live cd and reinstall to / , without formatting .Your config files will be retained . [14:05] i cant [14:05] bummer :( [14:05] i have spend 5 f***** days trying, i need to install from alternative cd [14:05] due to raid [14:06] after having reached 95% it sais it failed to install grub [14:06] i tried it for 20 times [14:07] so.. isnt there any remedy? [14:08] like installing the nvidia driver? or something? im using nv atm [14:08] which nvidia card , jakubo ? [14:09] 8600 GS [14:09] MSI [14:10] jakubo, on gdm (login) do alt+ctrl+sys rq+K [14:10] that gives back an usable login screen [14:10] i dont have a loginscreen, i use autologin [14:10] at least it does on my laptop [14:10] oh! [14:11] im currently on the ubuntu im talking about [14:11] it works fine, although it doesnt have skype in repos and theis driver thing [14:12] if you wonder how i sen messages... ... right-click, and send [14:13] so you can get to a tty prompt ? [14:13] nope [14:14] if you mean alt+ctrl+Fx [14:15] i just wonder how the graphics driver is connected to the keyboard input [14:15] Anyone affected by: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/518330 please confirm bug [14:16] Ubuntu bug 518330 in grub2 "Booting WindowsXp/Xp-X64 out of Grub2 just echos "GRUB _" blinking cursor" [Undecided,New] [14:16] hi.. when will be the evtouch driver installable? I mean without removing other drivers.. [14:19] and what about the poulsbo (Intel GMA500) graphics driver will it be available when lucid will be release in May? I can't find even sources of the driver on the internet... if so I would make my own packages for my ppa.. the old drivers that are used on jaunty and karmic are not working.. see: ppa:~thopiekar/lucid-dev [14:24] in what state is the nouveau driver? [14:27] jakubo: nouveau has no 3d acceleration, thats the only bad thing [14:27] it will be shipped as default in lucid and will enter the kernel in 2.6.33 [14:27] i dont use 3d for now [14:28] you should be fine then [14:28] try, https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/nouveau [14:28] but when trying to install over synaptic it wanted to uninstall all the orther drivers and ubuntru desktop and stuff [14:28] those are the test packages that will eventually enter lucid [14:29] and the closed driver? does it work at all? [14:29] jakubo: thats the out of date repository version, its not ready for X 1.7, you need the xorg-edgers ppa for the moment [14:30] nvidia-current is the closed source one, its 190, should work fine, no plymouth though (due to the lack of framebuffer) [14:31] means? [14:31] longer boot? [14:31] means no boot up screen, the ubuntu logo usplash thing you'll remember from karmic [14:32] there has been none so far for me in lucid .... [14:32] its not a speed thing, the closed source works fine, the nouveau edgers ppa should be fine too if you dont really need 3d acceleration [14:32] does it mean theres something strange? [14:33] for 3d im using arch linux where im using the nvidia driver [14:33] theres problems with plymouth and some drivers at the moment [14:34] so if i dont want to bring in any special new drivers i will have to wait until this plymouth thing is ready? [14:35] SevenMachines: the ppa nouveau edgers not work properly with the nv50 [14:37] great.... [14:37] jakubo: nvidia-current from the repository will be fine (i'm using it right now!), you just dont get a graphical boot screen, otherwise boot is fine [14:37] well it did work very good so far.... [14:38] ok, how do i get it? [14:38] there has been a problem when trying to get it [14:38] Crashbit: its under testing, i've personally had no problem with it but you may want to open a thread on the forum and see [14:38] jakubo: what problem? [14:38] it didnt finish [14:39] instalation [14:39] nvidia-current? [14:39] jakubo: use synaptic, jockey have a bug [14:39] ok [14:40] how will i be able to change back to plymouth back again? [14:41] jakubo: change back to plymouth? i dont understand [14:42] i thought the nvidia current doesnt like plymouth, so i thought it will be uninstalled [14:43] plymouth doesnt give a splash with nvidia binary, it doesnt uninstall it [14:44] welll... its not that important.. if you need any further information about my hardware or log files or anything, please tell me now, so i ll leave you my email addres, ill just avoid using enter/return for now [14:44] ic [14:44] ps. what card do you have? you might need one of the legacydrivers instees [14:44] instead [14:44] 8600GS [14:45] thats ok, its the nvidia-current (190 driver ) you need then [14:45] k [14:45] ill see [14:45] thx, i need to learn, for ill have exams soon [14:46] bye [14:48] SevenMachines, I've got "nVidia Corporation Device 0a2a (rev a2)" on my laptop, would it work for me? [14:51] GeForce GT 230M ? thats nvidia-current supported [14:51] SevenMachines, it seems, thanks, so only catch is install via synaptic? [14:52] i dont know if jockey works or not, if it doesnt then it will with synaptic [14:53] with synaptic you need to add/create the driver to /etx/X11/xorg.conf remember [14:54] current list of lucid nvidia packages with the gpu's they support http://paste.ubuntu.com/370975/ [14:54] mornin' all [14:55] trying out the lucid lynx alpha 2, just finished upgrading all my packages and rebuilding the nvidia driver, and my GDM display is all messed up [14:55] what really baffles me is that I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:56] anyone have some time to help me troubleshoot? [14:57] tamale: xor.gconf hasn't been needed for a few releases [14:57] tamale: You can always drop one in if you need to tweak something [14:58] SevenMachines: mind putting "with synaptic you need to add/create the driver to /etx/X11/xorg.conf" in layman terms [14:58] penguin42: wow [14:58] penguin42: so, how do I even tell if my configuration is using the nvidia driver? [14:59] tamale: Now I don't know Nvidia stuff, but in general /var/log/Xorg.0.log will tell you what happened [14:59] penguin42: Hmm.. empty. [14:59] penguin42: How do I check the current xorg config if the file doesn't exist? [15:00] how about /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old ? [15:00] penguin42: (in general) [15:00] alex_mayorga: you need to edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf to look like http://paste.ubuntu.com/370993/ , if it doesnt look like that already. this is taken care of by jockey so if its working for you then you should use it [15:00] tamale: It dynamically figures it out and tells you what it did in the log; having said that you might want to follow what Seven is telling alex for nvidia - I'm an ATI and Intel penguin myself [15:02] SevenMachines, let me give that a try, wish me luck :) [15:02] let me emphasize, use jockey if you can! [15:03] yeah! an empathy update, I wonder if that would kill bug 401028 for good [15:03] Launchpad bug 401028 in pymsn "telepathy-butterfly crashed with TypeError in b64decode()" [Unknown,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/401028 [15:04] yeah, I just tried tha tmyself and rebooted [15:04] will let you know [15:07] also, the command to make the alternative ssytem use the nvidia-current alternative has to be run. that would normally be executed by jockey [15:08] but that command is kicking around out there somewhere [15:08] yep, i forgot about that, its new :) [15:08] that's only for the glx side of it though [15:09] i think its done in postinst when you install nvidia-current [15:09] yes, it is [15:12] what are the languages dz and enΩshaw ? [15:13] en@shaw [15:13] is dz bhutan? [15:14] shrug - it could be, it's one of the few ones I don't seem to have fonts for [15:14] hold on, dzongkha! [15:15] its in the language packs i think [15:15] impressive! [15:17] en shaw is Shavian, which i take it is some unusual form of english [15:19] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shavian_alphabet [15:19] SevenMachines: how do I tell if the nvidia driver is now in use? [15:20] * penguin42 hates to think why we've actually got translations in it! [15:20] penguin42: Well, something different happened this time GMD looks right but is unresponsive [15:22] alex_mayorga: look at $ glxinfo|head [15:23] it should say NVIDIA Corporation, and direct rendering: yes [15:23] seems like I need to install mesa-utils first [15:24] you could look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log instead if you like [15:25] $cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep NVIDIA will tell you a bunch of stuff xorg did [15:25] nvidia-settings will tell you if the driver is in use or not [15:26] but the ddx driver could be in use without the glx side [15:26] I had to reconfigure X, with nvidia-xconfig , otherwidse i had a very low frame rate and no DIR , after reinstalling the nvidi-current driver [15:26] nvidia-current [15:27] which is the 190.53 in my case [15:28] alberto has also packaged the 195 driver in his ppa. that one includes the opncl stuff and accelerates xrender, which for kde people will be very nice [15:28] i've been waiting to try some opencl stuff [15:28] ups seems like I only managet to crash glxinfo :( [15:29] what does it do? [15:29] bjsnider, does the 195 work on your setup ? [15:30] i'm not using lucid, nor would i ever think of using kde. [15:31] got this [15:31] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [15:31] Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig [15:31] then apport kicked in [15:31] why not kde ? is it too "windows" looking , bjsnider? [15:31] this is where jockey comes in. you need to ruin the command to use the nvidia-current glx alternatives [15:32] i don't have that command in front of me but you can find it [15:32] allthat when I ran glxinfo|head [15:32] you might want to put you Xorg.0.log on pastebin [15:32] nvidia-xconfig [15:33] BluesKaj, it sucks. i hate the voluble explanations, all of the extraneous options. it's not my cup of tea [15:34] SevenMachines, OK let me [15:34] no, he doesn't need to run the xconfig command, his xorg.conf already has the nvidia driver in it [15:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/371011 does it help? [15:37] this is nvidia card on a VAIO laptop, dunno if that complicates stuff even more [15:38] is the driver loaded ? $dmesg |grep nvidia [15:39] bRoas [15:39] SevenMachines, looks like no, that last command gives me no output [15:40] did nvidia-current install without any errors? [15:40] so I need to modify my xorg.conf? [15:40] try $sudo modprobe nvidia and see what is says [15:40] SevenMachines, synaptic didn't say anything [15:41] FATAL: Module nvidia not found. [15:41] ah, try $sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current [15:41] try dkms status [15:42] I think the're was this on synaptic but I don't think is related: "/usr/share/themes/Human/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:85: Murrine configuration option "gradients" is no longer supported and will be ignored." [15:42] that's got nothing to do wtih it [15:42] oh, OK [15:42] what does dkms status give you? [15:42] should I do dkms status or just go ahead and reinstall? [15:42] bjsnider, fair enough, do you alberto ppa url , i might give the 195 a shot [15:42] have [15:43] do dkms status first [15:43] nvidia-current, 190.53, 2.6.32-12-generic, x86_64: installed [15:43] getting closer - this time GDM loads and works, but it says the kernel module failed to load - no drive [15:43] driver [15:43] then it's just a xorg.conf issue [15:43] there are also a number of virtualbox-ose lines [15:44] alex_mayorga: and your booted into the 2.6.32-12-generic kernel? [15:44] what does your xorg.conf file say? [15:44] this is uname: "Linux VPCCW1FFXL 2.6.32-12-generic" [15:44] so I'm pretty sure I did [15:45] i think the fact that the module wont modprobe could be the key problem [15:45] eee [15:45] did I read new nvidia driver some where? [15:45] is it fixing my probs again [15:45] bjsnider, apologies what's the complete path for xorg.conf? [15:46] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [15:46] run this command: grep nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/* [15:47] here's my error message: (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0) [15:47] (EE) No drivers available. [15:47] tamale yeah, known [15:47] been complaining of that since late Friday [15:47] bug 518058 [15:47] BUGabundo: ok, so what is the current status?

[15:48] seems like my .conf still has vesa, do I fix manually? [15:48] hum, i'm on nvidia-current now without issues, just got rid of plymouth [15:48] void^_: how'd you get rid of plymouth [15:49] alex_mayorga, sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local.conf [15:49] apt-get remove'd it [15:50] bjsnider: done [15:50] alex_mayorga, run sudo nvidia-xconfig if you want. i'd avoid it though. it adds unnecessary crap [15:50] i think SevenMachines posted a xorg.conf earlier [15:51] anyone know how I can collect information about a failed to resume from suspend issue? [15:51] bjsnider: so I edit my .conf with what SevenMachines posted http://paste.ubuntu.com/370993/ [15:52] he only posted the device section, so only edit that and leave the rest untouched [15:53] BUGabundo: that bug was after you logged in, wasn't it? [15:54] bjsnider: done, reboot? [15:54] hold on [15:54] charlie-tca: I got that even on GDM, if autologin was off [15:54] alex_mayorga, sudo update-alternatives --display gl_conf [15:54] I cant start krandrtray, I get the following error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/371018/ [15:55] bjsnider, bunch of lines, last one "Current `best' version is /usr/lib/nvidia-current/ld.so.conf" [15:55] that's good. alright, reboot [15:56] OK, I have to go for half an hour, would you be aroun in 45 min?

[16:01] no idea [16:01] lol k [16:01] didn't Sarvatt say that problem might have to do with enabling apport for xserver-xorg? [16:01] SevenMachines, thanks ! [16:02] BluesKaj, don't you have a geforce 7k card? [16:05] yeah bjsnider , geforce7600gt , but i don't see it listed as supported on the nvidia driver site [16:05] it is [16:06] but that having been said, the nvidia driver is designed primarily for quadro chips comparable to the 8k and later consumer chips [16:07] you're not going to get opengl 3.2 support with that card [16:10] ack.. took the nvidia driver out completely, and it's still trying to use it upon startup of GDM [16:16] tamale: did you reconfigure xorg? [16:18] BUGabundo, nobody can accuse you of not including enough attachments in your bug posts [16:18] I just changed the driver section [16:18] how can I reconfigure it for the vesa? [16:18] it appears on that last one that you've posted the entire contents of your root drive === yofel_ is now known as yofel [16:19] bjsnider: thanks to apport .\ [16:19] bjsnider: LOL [16:19] which one ?

[17:06] I'm having an issue with shutter in lucid. I get a permission denied error when trying to capture from the screen [17:11] * penguin42 tries it [17:12] LADmaticCA: It seems to be getting the directory wrong [17:12] LADmaticCA: It's trying to write to /home/Desk 4_001.png rather than /home/username/... [17:13] penguin42, that's right [17:13] LADmaticCA: Go to preferences and change the save directory [17:13] but the default is a bug, do you want to report it ? [17:14] penguin42, cool it works now. do i report the bug to launchpad? or the shutter developers? [17:14] hi all, I'm having problems upgrading to 9.10 [17:15] LADmaticCA: I'd report it to launchpad, use ubuntu-bug shutter on the command line, if you give me the bug number I'll confirm it [17:15] it tells me can't upgrade b/c Skype is marked for removal but is on removal blacklist? HUH? [17:15] and if I try to do minor updates (*not to 9.10), it tells me "please insert CD for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" [17:16] this all started happening after I rebooted into the Live CD for 10.04 LTS ... although I also installed Skype (hadn't rebooted ina long time) [17:16] weird [17:17] yea, it is really ticking me off [17:17] for minor update, fails with this error msg: W: Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 10.04 _Lucid Lynx_ - Alpha amd64 (20100203.1)]/pool/main/d/dkms/dkms_2.1.1.1-0ubuntu3_all.deb [17:18] wth! [17:18] DavidJHeinrich: How did you try and do the upgrade? [17:18] just clicking the buttons [17:18] in update-manager? [17:18] yea [17:18] clicked "Install Updates", when didn't work, tried "upgrade to 9.10" [17:19] DavidJHeinrich: OK, go to system->admin->software sources and see what's selected, you should be able to remove the CD there [17:20] ahh, it checked off CDROM 10.04...WHY??? arg [17:20] I never checked that box [17:20] was under one of the third-party sources [17:20] I don't know - did you have the CD in the drive when you hit the update button? I don't know if it looks for that ? [17:21] hmm...maybe I did one time ? I don't know, but maybe last inght, not sure [17:22] just a guess - I don't know if it pays any attention to that [17:22] BUGabundo, did anything change with the no drivers under hardware drivers? I wasnt able to stick around the other day whey you guys were talking [17:23] coz_: yes: many more users reporting probs [17:23] ahh, ok, now I have no updates other than 9.10 [17:23] other then that _I think_ its unfixed [17:23] maybe that's why the other updates failed...prolly screwy stuff from 10.04 [17:23] BUGabundo, oh :) at least we have progress :) [17:23] DavidJHeinrich: Now - do you want to upgrade? [17:24] I dunno, I use ATI Catalyst drivers...I've heard some ppl having problems moving 9.04 => 9.10 [17:24] penguin42: do it a la MSFT : "Are you sure?" " are you REALLY sure?" [17:24] Can anyone just point me in the right direction for getting dual monitors to work with the vesa drivers? [17:24] penguin42, okay I filed that bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shutter/+bug/518458 [17:24] Ubuntu bug 518458 in shutter "Shutter default save directory is root" [Undecided,New] [17:24] DavidJHeinrich: Well if you do then I'd say run update-manager -d [17:24] DavidJHeinrich: well this is for 10.04 not 9.10 or stable releases. for that, please visit #Ubuntu [17:25] k, hanks [17:25] tamale: I don't know if it is possible [17:25] thank you for your help re my update problem though! :-) [17:26] heh.. sounds like you're right "The VESA driver does not support dual-head modes." [17:26] ok this is really starting to bug me in lucid [17:26] ding ding [17:26] why can i not select a compiz theme anywhere? [17:26] billybigrigger, compiz doesn't have themes - what are you trying to do? [17:26] billybigrigger: no 3D driver working [17:27] ok, i'm trying to install emerald themes [17:27] LADmaticCA: I've confirmed it [17:27] i've install ccsm and fusion-icon, can't seem to find a theme selector anywhere [17:27] penguin42, cool [17:27] billybigrigger, FYI emerald is no longer developed, and thus you should "try" to avoid it's use [17:28] so...compiz themes are just supposed to be ignored now? [17:28] go back to metacity themes? hah i highly find that reasonable [17:28] errr [17:28] find that highly unreasonable [17:29] heck launchpad is slow [17:29] * billybigrigger is still waking up [17:29] billybigrigger: I like metacity themes [17:29] * penguin42 pours coffee into billybigrigger [17:29] AHHHHHHHHHHHHHh that burns [17:29] * BUGabundo hands penguin42 a cup [17:30] * ikonia waves the topic at all the offtopic nonsense [17:30] ahah sorry [17:32] BUGabundo, metacity themes are fine, but compiz themes are much nicer [17:32] compiz/gtk is a nice combo, nicer to look at through my eyes than metacity/gtk [17:32] no idea what you are talking about [17:32] I use (when 3D is not broken) themes in my compiz [17:33] and it's the same I have in metacity [17:33] ? [17:33] wv chris [17:33] ok, where do you select your compiz theme then? [17:33] i haven't used compiz themes for over a year now and wanted to try them again... [17:34] last i remember was using emerald theme manager for it [17:34] billybigrigger: appearance menu ? [17:34] billybigrigger, unfortunately emerald is no longer developed or maintained [17:34] this is no such this as compiz themes - i think you are refering to emerald themes (please try to call things by their name) [17:34] s/this/think [17:34] ok well thats news to me, didn't know you could install compiz themes through appearance now [17:35] * billybigrigger wonders what other useful information he's missed over the last 6 months [17:36] anyone using the nvidia-current driver? I'm having some screen tearing in fullscreen playback [17:36] billybigrigger, well I do know we talked about a new decorator for a short talk about 5 months ago but nothing has come of it yet and since 0.9.xx is still in the process of being ported I doubt any new decorator is going to show up for some time [17:36] yeah see, you can't install .emerald themes [17:36] ^^ through appearance that is [17:36] LADmaticCA, what's your video source? and what player? [17:37] i'm using nvidia-current on my desktop to watch movies, 720p .mkv's are fine in smplayer [17:37] billybigrigger, vlc [17:37] billybigrigger: DON'T UPGRDATE [17:37] billybigrigger, no never through appearance with emerald themes [17:37] billybigrigger, oh and i was watching a DVD [17:38] BUGabundo, don' [17:38] t upgrade what? nvidia drivers? [17:38] yes [17:38] or plymouth [17:38] or X [17:38] lol like as of when? [17:38] until we get this darn bug fixed [17:38] Friday~ [17:38] i'm fully up to date as of today [17:38] don't reboot then [17:38] ahh, a little late then haha [17:38] i have [17:38] a few times [17:39] and you have a fully working 3D desktp ? [17:39] * BUGabundo stabs billybigrigger [17:39] hmm...i guess friday was my last reboot [17:39] ahhhh [17:39] billybigrigger@cabo:~$ uptime [17:39] 10:38:58 up 2 days, 10 min, 3 users, load average: 2.21, 1.65, 1.28 [17:39] then wait on it [17:39] or, join the gang, and reboot NOW [17:39] will be fun [17:39] lol [17:39] :) [17:39] nope, i'm fine :) haha [17:39] is this an nvidia bug? [17:40] as i've rebooted my laptop running up to date lucid, with radeon driver and it works fine [17:40] yeah something in NVidia and/or plymouth [17:42] good thing I have a karmic machine here...i would go nutsy without compiz :) [17:50] brb [17:53] hm, reboots... I might want to reboot my lucid running home server again sometime... 18:52:33 up 21 days, 1:57, 8 users, load average: 3.25, 2.72, 2.58 :D [17:54] I just somehow get the feeling that I'll have to fix the nvidia driver after rebooting... [17:54] doooo it [17:55] it's still running linux-image-2.6.32-10-server in fact ^^ [18:01] coz_: what I miss more is the expose and composite colors [18:01] BUGabundo, :) understood [18:03] guys I have to break here... need to shower and go to the store [18:07] oik oik [18:18] are there any chances of evolution 2.30 in lucid or lucid will ship 2.28.2? [18:21] slim to none ? [18:29] "Annoy me if you find an error in GNOME's en_GB translation" aahha bruce... lazy arse [18:29] man I miss that guy :( [18:29] he was great here [18:29] but _we_ pushed him away [18:31] we or you? :P [18:31] hehe [18:33] * BUGabundo slaps billybigrigger [18:33] I could have said Canonical... [18:33] but then you guys would go over me [18:33] should have [18:35] Is it OK to install ubuntu 10.04 from alternate text? [18:35] Only needed package is postfix and whatever is needed to run postfix [18:35] barf, using 10.04 as a server is CRAZY right now -- it's only Alpha2! [18:35] ok [18:35] So what to use? [18:36] 9 something? [18:36] barf, is this a production server? [18:36] alpha2 from any open source project is usually more stable than releases from Redmond.... [18:36] om26er: it wont land in lucid , it seems to be a re-write [18:36] It will be my main mailserver [18:36] approx 25 email accounts [18:38] barf, very conservative would be 8.10 the last LTS release, perhaps 9.10 would give you a bit more modern system though [18:38] 8.04 was the last LTS [18:39] we will se btrfs support in lucid na? [18:39] barf, sorry see charlie-tca not above [18:39] s/not/note [18:39] charlie-tca? [18:40] barf, "8.04 was the last LTS" was his correction of me, too you [18:40] You could install 8.04 server for the mail server, then upgrade directly to 10.04 when it releases [18:40] They are both LTS and will be stable for servers [18:41] Using LTS means you don't have cutting edge stuff, but you do have stablility for up to 5 years [18:43] I need SMTP [18:43] POP# [18:43] POP3 [18:43] IMAP [18:43] SSL optional [18:43] openLDAP [18:43] and binding between openLDAP and MTA [18:43] Anything cutting edge about that? [18:44] hu [18:44] I would prefer 100% text based, no GUI what so ever [18:44] other then a new package to create a Mail server OOTB [18:44] no, nothing new in Ubuntu [18:44] ? [18:44] 9.10 should be fine [18:44] barf, the "server" version is text only [18:44] I usually tend to install alternate text [18:44] server also installs other stuff? [18:44] no? [18:45] I thought server install LAMP no matter what? [18:45] a new package to create a Mail server OOTB? Which package would that be? [18:46] In which version? [18:46] vish: gwibber 2.30 in lucid? [18:47] om26er: most probably.. [but i'm just guessing ] [18:47] barf: in 9.10 [18:47] BUGabundo: and the name of the package? [18:48] barf: dovecot-postfix [18:48] !info dovecot-postfix [18:48] dovecot-postfix (source: dovecot): full mail server stack provided by Ubuntu server team. In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 521 kB, installed size 628 kB [18:48] dovecot-postfix doesn't create a mail server ootb for you though [18:48] barf: start with minimal iso, install ubuntu-base or ubuntu-standard [18:49] vish: 2.29.1 already fixes tones of bugs [18:49] and then other packages you want [18:49] billybigrigger why not? [18:49] there is still some configuration needed [18:49] done on install time [18:49] That’s OK [18:49] * vish points om26er to BUGabundo [18:49] OpenLDAP? Or MySQL for virtual host? [18:49] * BUGabundo stabs om26er [18:49] barf, is this your first mail server install??? [18:49] No [18:50] lol... [18:50] damn y [18:50] gwibber is UGLY broken now [18:50] But the previous one used /etc/postfix/virtual [18:50] s/y/u [18:50] barf: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/email-services.html [18:50] ^^^ very helpful [18:50] * BUGabundo hands om26er and o [18:50] BUGabundo: 2.0.0? [18:50] * BUGabundo hands om26er and u [18:50] So there are probably more modern ways to configure this in the year 2010 [18:50] and spells YOU [18:51] Thank you [18:51] Exim4? [18:51] om26er: I'm still running the old DEB and testing trunk branch dailly [18:51] barf: no. we use postfix as recommended [18:51] Ok, som it’s Exim from debian [18:51] an alternative MTA [18:52] And Dovecot? What is that? [18:52] barf: server edition now installs only what you tell it too. Without giving it the options, it will install the basic operating system only [18:52] barf, replacment for courier [18:52] But it will install a kernel optimized for server user [18:53] charlie-tca: not anymore (lucid) [18:53] unified kernels [18:53] ok I found at planet ubuntu that gwibber 2.29.1 will be uploaded to luicd monday? [18:53] we only carrie 4 kernels now [18:53] That why it changes to generic kernel in lucid? [18:53] generic 32bits, 64bits, 32bits PAE, and RT [18:54] Is there a postfix IRC channel anywhere that is ubuntu friendly? [18:54] Keeps trying to use PAE on my pIII, which fails everytime [18:54] charlie-tca: yeah, there's some _strange_ logic in the upgrade scheme [18:54] charlie-tca: file a bug :D [18:54] ummm, okay [18:55] barf: try #postfix [18:55] I am :-) [18:55] charlie-tca: I doubt your p3 supports PAE extentions [18:55] I know it does not, thus the fail everytime [18:55] ahhh [18:55] PAE has been around since ppro days. [18:56] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension [18:56] SwedeMike: in CPU support? [18:56] yes. [18:57] I know some manufactures used a costum bios and board to allow memory bit swap [18:57] to extend memory up to 16GBs [18:58] SwedeMike: so, any idea why it would fail to start, then? The generic kernel works [18:59] charlie-tca: no idea. === ikonia_ is now known as the_tester [19:20] hmm, i have problems with wake up from ram [19:20] Hey all! (lucid) I'm trying to figure out how to turn off the framebuffer during the kernel startup? I've tried all kinds of stuff but in a console the monitor just shows "Out of Range" [19:20] known issue? :) [19:21] gsker: its not in kernel compiled option? :) [19:21] * BUGabundo tries to remember the last time framebuffer worked [19:21] which option? nofb? vga=normal I've tried them all. [19:22] It's actually deprecating vga= also. I personally thing it's dung -- the console should be text not graphical, but all I really want is to disable it now. [19:22] s/thing/think/ [19:23] I think the vga= deprecation is a grub2 thing [19:24] that might be. Either way, the startup changes to a weird fb mode and I can't get it back. Hmmm. Maybe I should try installing a kernel from karmic.... [19:25] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/02/lucidity-proposed-lucid-theme.html not bad..... [19:26] I just want to disable framebuffer entirely. [19:28] It's the kernel that's the problem, though. Not grub. Grub's graphics are fine. Where does the mode get set in startup? At setfont? where is that run? [19:38] * cwillu huggles BUGabundo in a most offtopic way [19:39] cwillu I return that with an HORRIBLE PVT [19:40] pvt link was access denied :p [19:41] what was that supposed to be anyway? [19:43] refresh it [19:43] it works [19:44] i'm not sure you want to know what it was [19:44] BUGabundo, no, it doesn't :p [19:45] requestid and hostid change each time, but I still get "request has expired" [19:45] bjsnider: you mean that PVT you have? [19:45] let me get it again [19:46] there you go [19:46] all clean [19:46] thanks, appreciate it [19:47] hi [19:47] humm I think cwillu had a stroke with it [19:47] not even is Mac will save him now [19:47] BUGabundo, you fool [19:48] I browse unknown links in links [19:48] you don't trust me :( [19:48] * BUGabundo scrapes cwillu out of his foot [19:48] a plymouth crash when using xorg-edgers ppa is a valid bug? or using xorg-edgers invalidates it? [19:48] only as far as I can throw you :p [19:49] GatoLoko, no, it makes it more interesting [19:49] GatoLoko: plymouth is simply broken [19:49] wait until Monday [19:49] * cwillu giggles [19:50] ok, i'll wait then, it was working yesterday, applied today updates and it's crashing, leaving the screen off [19:51] lucky you [19:51] I can't even login [19:51] i can't login locally, but ssh saved me [19:51] see, this is why I always update the morning before I take my laptop on the road [19:51] gives me something to do while I wait for a customer to unlock their scale shack [19:52] LOLOL [19:53] still on the road? though you were back in the office cwillu [19:53] I'm at home right now [19:53] I've just done that several times now :) [19:57] scale shack? [19:57] as in, weighing trucks, or such? [20:08] yes [20:18] Hi there, I have been asked to include a `COPYING` file in my project before it can be made into a package [20:19] is there some template for this/ [20:19] (GPLv2) [20:19] ideasman42: get the source of any other package [20:19] ok, but they may have their own exceptions [20:19] or text [20:20] hrm. get 2 from different projects and do a diff :) [20:21] So I need to include a COPYING file [20:21] but I also need to state what is under creative commons [20:21] eh [20:21] try #ubuntu-motu [20:21] ty [20:44] so... I'm having problems with booting (in virtual box) both the daily build installer, plus a alpha2 install after dist-upgrade (after alpha2 install it boots just fine, then dist-upgrade, then won't boot anymore). In the installer I get to the "install ubuntu" choice immediately after bootup, then I just get black screen with cursor top left. [20:45] I get the same problem with "try ubuntu without installing"-choice. [20:46] SwedeMike: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/510571 disable acpi?

[20:47] SwedeMike: or in the kernel boot line [20:47] well, I'm trying to get into the grub menu, but I can't. [20:47] SwedeMike: use shift [20:48] oh [20:48] ah [20:49] just add "noacpi" ? [20:50] sorry, should have read the bug first [20:50] my bad [20:51] acpi=off [20:53] arand: yeah, thanks, works now. [20:55] SwedeMike: even a problem on upstream kernel, so I'm hoping it'll might be fixed soon, since it kind of impairs testing.. [20:57] arand: yeah, I can imagine. [21:04] bjsnider: ping [21:04] anyone else with empathy getting loaded repeatedly on the notify envelope? [21:08] yeah, what's the deal? [21:14] bjsnider, remember the nvidia thing on my laptop, after the reboot I was greeted by a blank (black) screen [21:14] bjsnider: had to modify the xorg.conf back to vesa to get video [21:15] is empathy/notify broken for anyone else? === ubuntu_ is now known as lucid_lucid [21:21] Hi, I just bought an hp touch screen laptop, does linux support that? [21:23] yes [21:23] multi touch? [21:23] or just touch? [21:23] because i think single touch is just like having a mouse, right? [21:24] alex_mayorga, apparently there's a bug right now with gdm or plymouth. i think it would work if you removed plymouth. [21:24] Ian_Corne: yes [21:25] but current synaptics supports multitouch [21:25] bjsnider, plymouth is the fancy ubuntu logo at boot, that doesn't work anyway for me, even in vesa? [21:25] Yeah, but don't know if there's many apps that do that too :p [21:26] Ian_Corne: right! [21:26] it's multi-touch [21:26] * BUGabundo <3 Android [21:26] alex_mayorga, i guess it's not a terribly important thing to save then [21:26] ok but I am now working from it and I can't touch the screen. nothing works by touching [21:27] does it need some software or what? [21:27] shouldn't [21:27] well [21:27] you're running lucid? [21:27] Ian_Corne: yes [21:27] udev may need some love for it to work [21:28] 9.10 does support touch with HAL [21:28] bjsnider, so I remove that, change sorg.conf back to nvidia and retry? [21:28] I used some tablets and touch laps [21:28] BUGabundo: you mean lucid doesn't yet support it but karmic does? [21:28] I have NO idea what lucid supports in terms of touch [21:28] ask a X dev [21:30] did you try karmic? [21:30] because chance are that the thing you're trying is broken atm :p [21:31] Ian_Corne: no I don't have karmic now [21:31] livecd [21:32] I have added a crypted partition in /etc/crypttab and to fstab so it now tries to mount it at boot. The machine is in virtualbox and the vbox drive is a file. I need to access fstab in the virtual machine from the outside to get it to boot I guess, how do I do that? or what is the recommended way to edit the fstab on a machine that won't boot into rescue mode? init=/bin/sh doesn't really work anymore :P [21:32] alex_mayorga, yeah, try that [21:33] bjsnider, OK, be back [21:33] hm, booting live usb in the virtual machine is perhaps the easiest, I just realised. [21:33] ok I will download a karmic later and try this touch stuff. thanks for your tips === BUGabundo1 is now known as BUGabundo [21:37] BUGabundo: did you make an app for android yet? [21:38] or interested in the OS itself? [21:38] nope [21:38] I don't do code [21:38] oh ok :) === malnilion_ is now known as malnilion [21:52] Ian_Corne: take a look for your self. awesome plataform [21:54] bjsnider: no luck either [21:54] bjsnider: still blank screen [21:59] bjsnider: this seem to be the issue here: (II) Feb 07 15:50:05 NVIDIA(GPU-0): No display devices connected; falling back to: CRT-0 [21:59] (WW) Feb 07 15:50:05 NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-0 [22:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/371230 is the log in case it's of interest [22:00] alex_mayorga: Does it work with nouveau? :) [22:01] RAOF: teach me how and I can test ;) [22:02] for some reason nvidia driver wouldn't find the LCD panel [22:02] maybe is a VAIO thing [22:03] alex_mayorga: “sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/nouveau && sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf && sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade && sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” [22:03] I guess VESA is not so bad :) [22:03] RAOF, fetching packages [22:04] RAOF, do I need to poke the xorg.conf? [22:04] It should autoload nouveau. [22:05] Oh. Unless we've got a new X in the main repositories. Let me just check that :) [22:05] so just, cross fingers and reboot as it should "just work"? [22:06] RAOF, do I reinstall plymouth I removed to test nvidia-current by bjsnider's suggestion [22:06] You could reinstall plymouth, I think. [22:17] just reboot afterwards or do I need to poke around? [22:18] alex_mayorga: You will need to reboot, yes. [22:18] Well, it's easiest :) [22:19] back. seems my router doesn't like rain [22:19] where was I? [22:19] oh yes, Ian_Corne android [22:19] you should take a look at the SDK [22:19] * alex_mayorga crosses fingers and jumps into nouveau [22:19] they have this awesome emulator [22:20] you keep your router outside? [22:22] RAOF, and I'm back [22:22] bjsnider: funny... 3rd time I read that [22:22] no blank (black) screen, so I guess that's good [22:22] no I don'tb [22:22] but it's a new Line, and maybe the screwups mess that up [22:22] how can I confirm nouveau is effectively enabled? [22:22] Check out Xorg.0.log [22:22] hey RAOF [22:23] hammering the nvidia/plymouth bug? [22:23] No, not particularly? [22:23] RAOF, there's Driver "nouveau" [22:24] alex_mayorga: You want to look down further; see which driver has bound to your hardware. [22:24] It's probably nouveau. [22:25] RAOF, http://paste.ubuntu.com/371245/ [22:26] it certainly created a bunch of sreens [22:27] You're using VESA, because... [drm] failed to load kernel module "nouveau" [22:27] Are you running a strange (ie: not 2.6.32-12) kernel? [22:27] RAOF: im on VESA too [22:27] cause nothing I do, can get any driver to work [22:28] RAOF, plain vanilla kernel [22:28] did they fix the fonts resizing issue in chromium yet ? [22:28] RAOF, I don't even know how to compile a kernel yet :S [22:28] just aptitude sage-upgrades or dist-upgrades so far [22:29] alex_mayorga: Can you pastebin “modinfo lbm-nouveau” [22:29] i wonder if you've got a broken EDID chip on that panel [22:29] RAOF: FWIW: "Linux VPCCW1FFXL 2.6.32-12-generic #17-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 5 08:16:30 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux" [22:30] bjsnider, I recall seeing something on borked EDIDs on VAIOs, let me see if I can find the forum entry [22:31] RAOF: http://paste.ubuntu.com/371249 [22:31] $ modinfo lbm-nouveau [22:31] ERROR: modinfo: could not find module lbm-nouveau [22:31] ahaah [22:32] alex_mayorga: Ok. Now, pastebin your dmesg. [22:32] * BUGabundo will be in serious trouble to restore NVIDIA blob once this mess clears [22:35] the forum posts http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1345907 [22:35] "This is a common SONY Vaio bug where you need to specify the EDID in your xorg.conf." no workaround though [22:38] alex_mayorga, um, wouldn't supplying the edid in xorg.conf be the workaround? [22:38] RAOF: dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/371254/ [22:39] cwillu: I guess I'll need a how-to :( [22:39] alex_mayorga, nvidia? [22:39] !daily [22:39] Daily builds of the CD images of the current development version of Ubuntu are available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ and http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [22:39] cwillu, yes, 230M I believe [22:40] Option"CustomEDID" "CRT-1:/home/cwillu/edid.bin" <-- goes in the screen section of xorg.conf [22:40] alex_mayorga: And what happens if you run “sudo modprobe -vvv lbm-nouveau”? [22:40] acquiring edid.bin for your lcd is left as a problem for the reader, although you can generally find it on the cd that came with the lcd (or downloadable from their website) [22:43] RAOF: http://paste.ubuntu.com/371257/ [22:44] cwillu: the reader appreciates your help and will try the exercise :) [22:44] cwillu, BTW is not an LCD monitor in this case, but the laptop LCD itself [22:45] that would teach me not to buy VAIOs in the future :) [22:45] alex_mayorga, doesn't really make any difference [22:47] alex_mayorga: Try logging out now. [22:48] does anyone know how fast moblin boots? [22:48] <3 secs kklimonda [22:48] RAOF, reboot or just log out/in ? [22:48] Just log out/in; that should restart X with your driver loaded. [22:49] BUGabundo, do they have some bootcharts and other charts available? :) [22:49] humm [22:50] our guys did a few last year [22:50] for UDS [22:50] RAOF, OK be back [22:50] And now, Xorg.0.log! [22:56] RAOF: http://paste.ubuntu.com/371265/ [22:56] alex_mayorga: And can I have your dmesg again? [22:56] still (EE) [drm] failed to open device [22:57] * BUGabundo loves how persistent RAOF and alex_mayorga are [22:58] RAOF: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/371267/ [22:59] BTW how do I nuke my AP details from the previous pastebin :( [22:59] a bunch of black vans are parking in my garage :D [23:00] BAH! Stupid me. You've still got the nvidia binary kernel module installed - that's binding to the card and is breaking nouveau. [23:01] ahh [23:01] Kindly remove the nvidia kernel module, rebuild your initramfs, and reboot ;) [23:01] BUGabundo, nothing to-do until SuperBowl starts :) [23:01] so that's what happened to me too [23:01] RAOF: monkey friendly directions, please :S [23:02] stupid question (of the day): what's the diff between having VESA and nouveau? [23:03] BUGabundo: xrandr 1.2 support, Xv support, 2d acceleration, suspend/resume, ... [23:03] ahh [23:03] * BUGabundo still prefers nvidia blob 3D [23:03] BUGabundo: Feel free to try the nouveau gallium that has been uploaded to ppa:xorg-edgers; you'll need both ppa:xorg-edgers & ppa:xorg-edgers/nouveau for it to work. [23:04] alex_mayorga: Remove the “nvidia-current” package, run “sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.32-12-generic”, then reboot. [23:05] RAOF, thanks, doing it [23:05] holy crap, xrandr rotation works with nouveau [23:05] WAIT WAIT WAIT [23:05] RAOF: are you saying what I think you are saying [23:05] inicial 3D support on nouveau drivers?? [23:06] Yes; feel free to give it a whirl. [23:06] if so, you are not going to bed, until I have that running [23:06] * BUGabundo adds ppa [23:06] RAOF: assume my system is a trashbin, so I will need to have it purged of BLOBs [23:06] RAOF, is it already in and ready? [23:07] * RAOF is not sure whether the new mesa has built yet. [23:07] * BUGabundo stepbs back [23:07] humm [23:07] It won't take too long :) [23:07] RAOF, it's done, rebooting, wish me luck I guess [23:07] mind confirming, *before* I mess my lovely (cough) VESA? [23:07] BUGabundo, but the nouveau driver is awesome [23:07] I don't care! [23:07] I want 3D or else ill stick at vesa [23:07] BUGabundo, when they get a decent 3D support there is no use for nvidia other than playing games.. ;) [23:08] I don't play games [23:08] BUGabundo, why 3D? [23:08] all I need is compiz expose [23:08] oh [23:08] COMPIZ COMPIZ COMPIZ COMPIZ COMPIZ [23:08] RAOF: any final warnings, just like BUGabundo I've grown to appreciate VESA so much :) [23:08] BUGabundo: Currently building. [23:08] alex_mayorga: don't joke, I spent 2 days using 640x480 [23:08] BUGabundo, I forgot ..ATI ? [23:08] ok [23:08] adding PPAs [23:08] alex_mayorga, you may get addicted to open source driver and not be able to switch back [23:08] alex_mayorga: Not really. [23:08] BluesKaj: DUH nvidia [23:09] ok [23:09] https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa [23:09] BUGabundo: I have a motorola Milestone [23:09] https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/nouveau [23:09] gonna start developping my first app soon [23:09] Ian_Corne: then what are you waiting for [23:09] ? [23:10] i tried the 195 driver , it was ok but no different than the 190 performancewise [23:10] Ian_Corne: small (free) tip: aptoid [23:10] your own repos/market [23:10] * alex_mayorga does the final reboot before going to cheer for the Colts [23:10] BluesKaj: FPS have been lowering every cycle. I had 200 with 190 [23:10] two cycles ago I was on 280 [23:11] when I bought this laptop in 2008 I had 360FPS [23:11] BUGabundo, your gpu is getting worse and worse ;) [23:11] BUGabundo, i had 19000 with the 185 0n karmic, down 15000 or so now [23:11] RAOF, oh god - ppa-purge is just a package I was looking for :) [23:11] to [23:12] BluesKaj: STOP MOCKING ME [23:12] !info ppa-purge [23:12] Package ppa-purge does not exist in lucid [23:12] BluesKaj: you can't do those FPS [23:12] BUGabundo, it's in xorg edgers ppa [23:13] that's why I'm thanking RAOF and his band for it ;) [23:13] I wonder if add-apt-repository can add 2 PPAs at once [23:13] BUGabundo, i bought a used 7600gt for my desktop pc in 2008, never regretted it [23:14] BUGabundo, BluesKaj are you talking about glxgears frame rates or in an actual game? [23:14] RAOF: ready, master [23:14] show me the LIGHT [23:14] ZykoticK9: compiz benchmark [23:15] VESA speed: $ glxgears [23:15] 1270 frames in 5.1 seconds [23:15] 328 frames in 5.1 seconds [23:15] ZykoticK9, just the glxgears frames , with nothing else running [23:15] 328 FPS fullscreen :( [23:15] 31362 frames in 5.0 seconds [23:15] ZykoticK9: MAXIMIZE it [23:16] At some point, we're really going to have to patch that --iacknowledgethistoolisnotabenchmark option in to glxgears again :) [23:16] 9736 frames in 5.0 seconds (glxgears is hardly a compiz benchmark though) [23:17] that's why I like compiz benchmark [23:17] cause its called *benchmark* [23:17] * BUGabundo ducks [23:18] BUGabundo, what is this "compiz benchmark" called? where to get it? [23:18] 380 full screen on this elcheapo lappy...intel graphics [23:18] Why aren't there any useful benchmarks for Linux? [23:18] Tronic: cause we don't have games ? [23:18] 165 on my EeePC with intel 945GME ^^ [23:18] * Tronic does have games on his Linux [23:18] Tronic, you mean bogomips isn't a valid benchmark? :) [23:19] hm, didn't phoronix have something useful? [23:19] RAOF: please guide me to purge remaining blobs and initram, and packages to install [23:19] ugh, my boot time has increased from 15 to 38 seconds.. [23:19] there's gotta be some kind of std test out there [23:19] BluesKaj: I belive that phoronix-test-suite actually has some benchmarks. [23:20] BUGabundo: Ok. It seems you need to remove the nvidia-current package, then “sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.32-12-generic”. [23:21] Removing nvidia-current ... [23:21] Removing all DKMS Modules [23:21] dpkg: warning: while removing nvidia-current, directory '/usr/lib/nvidia-current' not empty so not removed. [23:21] RAOF: should I do that too for -11? [23:21] You don't have to. Nouveau's not going to work for -11 :) [23:21] 18 now but it's still 3 seconds more ;/ [23:22] RAOF: all good news :\ [23:22] :) [23:22] RAOF: fully borked screen after reboot [23:23] I'm back in an older kernel [23:23] RAOF, thanks for the tip, gonna try that [23:23] alex_mayorga: Got a dmesg & Xorg.0.log.old for me? [23:23] * BUGabundo is afraid of not having any older kernel after this [23:23] RAOF: next [23:23] BUGabundo: You've got -11, don't you? :) [23:23] (11:21:50 PM) RAOF: You don't have to. Nouveau's not going to work for -11 :) [23:24] Yeah, but VESA will work there. [23:24] RAOF, dunno, not even the recovery option help [23:24] BUGabundo, but it's going to be a perfectly fine backup kernel to boot into if -12 doesn't work with nouveau for you :) [23:24] ok [23:25] so now what? [23:25] I've actually added this line to my /etc/rc.local to get dmesg after every boot [23:25] dmesg > /root/dmesg.`date +%Y%m%d-%H:%M` [23:25] * BluesKaj sticks with karmic on the lappy , so as to have at least one kubuntu that is fairly stable [23:25] patch it and submit upstream eheh [23:26] I've decided to do a backup dmesg because first time I've played with nouveau I've generated like 10 or 12 dmesgs trying to get something useful ;) [23:26] kklimonda: nice idea :) [23:26] RAOF, log http://paste.ubuntu.com/371282/ [23:27] alex_mayorga: Well, at least nouveau started correctly. Sadly, it doesn't seem to see your LVDS *at all*. [23:28] alex_mayorga: You do have a laptop display, right? [23:28] RAOF: what do I install now ? [23:28] BUGabundo: If you haven't already installed xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, you do that. [23:28] RAOF, yes, is a 14" laptop, dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/371284/ [23:29] BUGabundo: If you've booted into a working nouveau setup you now get to wait while I make mesa actually build in xorg-edgers. [23:30] The following NEW packages will be installed: [23:30] libdrm-nouveau1{a} linux-backports-modules-nouveau-2.6.32-12-generic{a} nouveau-firmware{a} xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [23:30] The following packages will be REMOVED: [23:30] dkms{u} fakeroot{u} linux-headers-2.6.32-11{u} linux-headers-2.6.32-11-generic{u} nvidia-settings{u} [23:30] BUGabundo: Looks right to me. [23:31] remoning kernel headers is a good thing? [23:31] ok [23:31] done [23:31] You don't need the kernel headers, no. [23:31] so reboot? [23:31] Yah. [23:31] alex_mayorga: Is that the dmesg from your failed boot? [23:32] update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-12-generic [23:32] RAOF, I don't think so, is there a way to get it? [23:32] bbl..dinner [23:32] * BUGabundo preps a ethernet cable in case X won't start, so no wifi [23:32] * BUGabundo wishes for wifi EASY usage as wired [23:33] BUGabundo: Set your wireless thing to by “system wide” in network manager; it'll start on boot, then. [23:33] alex_mayorga: System->Administration->Log File Viewer should have older dmesg, I think. [23:33] RAOF: I have that [23:34] but it won't work from recovyer console :D [23:34] Even if you go into netroot, and run “dhclient wlan0”? [23:35] oh really? [23:35] got to try that [23:35] does NM even work in recovery ? [23:36] RAOF, dmesg.0 here http://paste.ubuntu.com/371287/ [23:36] I forget. You colud probably manually start it with “service start network-manager” or somesuch. [23:37] ok [23:37] ill try if I get stuck [23:37] this stuff keeps changing [23:38] RAOF, any hope for me on mouveau? [23:38] well lets go [23:38] guys rebooting [23:38] if not back in <5 min, its RAOF fault! [23:39] alex_mayorga: [ 15.955792] [lbm-drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: LVDS present in DCB table, but couldn't determine its native mode. Disabling. [23:39] That's your problem; I'm not quite sure how to work around it. [23:40] It's possible that you could, but I guess that nouveau needs a bug report before it'll work out of the box on your laptop. [23:42] RAOF: ubuntu-bug nouveau? [23:42] alex_mayorga: Not quite at this point. [23:43] RAOF, can you file for me, please? [23:44] alex_mayorga: It'll need to go upstream to nouveau. Before we do that, I'll need you to test on an up-to-the-minute snapshot. [23:44] back [23:44] got an working x [23:44] seems smooth too [23:44] no 3D (yet?) [23:45] RAOF: what's next? [23:45] BUGabundo, nothing - mesa has failed to build :) [23:45] eheh [23:45] just my luck [23:45] BUGabundo, so you have to wait for RAOF to update package :) [23:45] BUGabundo: I check whether my modifications to the mesa package make it actually build, then I upload to xorg-edgers. Then you wait half an hour or so for it to get built & published, then it works. [23:46] so once mesa finishs, and I get it updated, I can use 3D ? [23:46] BUGabundo, maybe :) [23:46] That would be the plan, yes. [23:46] *maybe*, yes [23:46] In theory. [23:46] BUGabundo, I've heard that those blessed by the lady luck may even run compiz ;) [23:46] You certainly get to *try* 3D :) [23:46] anyway to enable compiz and get logs? [23:46] oh I did RAOF. failed [23:46] RAOF, so I recheck when Colts champion? [23:47] 157 frames in 5.0 seconds = 31.264 FPS [23:47] alex_mayorga: I'll give you a ping when there's some nice new snapshots. It may be later in the week. [23:47] RAOF: VESA was double the speed of this drivers eheh [23:48] RAOF: Thanks! So for now, is there an easy way to disable the whole thing? [23:48] BUGabundo, glxgears is lousy benchmark [23:48] I know [23:48] You can add “lbm-nouveau.nomodeset=1” to your kernel boot parameters, I think. [23:48] jk around [23:48] RAOF: me? [23:49] ohh those this mean I can install plymouth again RAOF? [23:49] RAOF, BUGabundo , for network start or restart : sudo /etc/init.d/networking start or restart, another command : sudo dhclient eth0 or wlan0 [23:49] alex_mayorga: That'll turn off KMS, which will cause the nouveau X driver to fail to load, which will mean VESA will be back in business for you. [23:49] BUGabundo: You can certainly try plymouth again :) [23:49] BluesKaj: on a WPA2 network ? [23:49] RAOF: lets see if it still freezes as it did with nvidia [23:50] BUGabundo, yes [23:50] RAOF, it sounds like his monitor in both the nouveau and nvidia driver situations. neither of them can detect what the monitor's settings are [23:50] just plymouth or plymouth-x11 too ? [23:50] BluesKaj: ok, will try. would be cool [23:51] gonna try to rotate my screen [23:51] bjsnider: Yes, that's right. But nouveau says it doesn't know how to handle TMDS version 2.0 tables, which'll be part of the problem. [23:51] well, maybe so, but he isn't going to get very far with a busted EDID chip either way [23:52] YAY ROTATION WORKS [23:52] bjsnider: Right. But nouveau will want to know if they can add a quirk. [23:52] bjsnider: you mean me, right? [23:52] if he can find the horizsync/vertrefresh values for that panel, he can put them into the xorg.conf file i suppose [23:52] RAOF: I'm _noticing_ more CPU usage. is that expected? [23:53] alex_mayorga, yeah, you need to ask sony for a new panel [23:53] LOLOLOLOL [23:53] if it's still under warranty [23:53] RAOF, what's this about the nouveau driver ..is it the latest nvidia darling or is it that nv basic driver [23:53] it's not the damned nv driver [23:54] BluesKaj: It's the fully-featured open-source nvidia driver. The nv driver is the official open-source nvidia driver, but it's obfuscated, doesn't really accept patches, and doesn't do anything much more than bring up the card. [23:54] bjsnider: yeah! right; they won't even honor the warranty outside the US [23:55] sue them [23:55] sue sony [23:55] I'd love to [23:55] know any pro-bono lawyers? [23:55] BUGabundo: More CPU usage is not expected; if that's accompanied by slower drawing, it's possible that you're missing the firmware. Pastebin dmesg & Xorg.0.log, please thanks. [23:55] RAOF, where should I add lbm-nouveau.nomodeset=1 exactly, menu.lst is no more [23:55] alex_mayorga, yes but they're all currently dead [23:56] can't wait for a fully open laptop [23:56] RAOF: $ pastebinit dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/371297/ [23:56] $ pastebinit Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/371298/ [23:56] I wonder if Canonical would puch for it [23:57] alex_mayorga: If you bring up the grub menu, you can hit 'e' to edit the kernel command line. For permanence, /etc/default/grub is where you're after. [23:57] alex_mayorga: no mather if you have no driver blob, you still have close fw in cpu, disks, modem, wifi , etc [23:57] :( [23:57] RAOF, any comparirsons with the nvidia-current ? 190.53 in my case [23:58] BUGabundo, I know, I'm up for a looong wait [23:58] nouveau can't provide 3d accel yet [23:58] RAOF, thanks yet again [23:58] BluesKaj: It doesn't do (supported) 3D, so if you want proper 3D you still need the binary blob. [23:58] also can't provide vdpau. other than that it compares well i'd say [23:59] ok, I'll stick with the 190 [23:59] BUGabundo, but nvidia blob is seriously bad [23:59] ah...no it isn't [23:59] it's seriously great [23:59] blob? [23:59] kklimonda: it works! [23:59] binary large object ;) [23:59] when it doenst kill suspend or hibernate
