coz_anyone have an agp nvidia and tried to enable fastwrites and sba?   It doens work here01:17
MWisBestI have a problem. There's this ugly transparent CPU monitor thing in the upper right corner of my screen. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the whole "virtuoso-server" package thing. How do I get rid of it? Also, I'm in Kubuntu, and it's NOT a widget.01:19
yofelMWisBest: can't think of anything right now, can you get a screenshot?01:21
MWisBestHow do I get a screenshot?01:21

MWisBestI'm back.01:29
MWisBestyofel: Any ideas?01:31
yofelnope, I've never seen anything like it, but if it's virtuoso related then I can't help as I can't get virtuoso to work here01:32
MWisBestDo you get like a, dependency loop error when you try to install it?01:32
yofelyes, remove all virtuoso packages, install virtuoso-nepomuk, then the other packages will install fine01:33
MWisBestWell I've uninstalled virtuoso...01:34
MWisBestAll of it.01:34
rwwWhat's the smartest way to obtain Kubuntu 10.04 right now? Installing from an Alpha 2 ISO and updating, or is there a daily CD somewhere or something?01:35
yofelthere are dailies01:36
MWisBestThe daily CD would be the best bet. That's how I got mine.01:36

ubottuDaily 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/01:36
yofelnow to get the kubunt link...01:36
MWisBestAlpha 2 wouldn't fit on a CD, so I looked around and the daily build was 699MB that day.01:36
yofelrww: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/01:36
rwwyofel: Ah, thank you :)01:37
yofelheh, the amd64 iso is oversized again ^^01:37
rwwno problem, I'll just throw it through usb-creator and USB it.01:37
MWisBestI wonder how they're ever gonna fit all this onto a CD. I mean my main distro, Mepis, is barely getting 4.3.4 on a CD.01:38
MWisBestNow that it's 4.4.0 for Kubuntu... eww.01:38

ubotturhythmbox (source: rhythmbox): music player and organizer for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 0.12.6-1ubuntu8 (lucid), package size 1602 kB, installed size 15672 kB03:34
nigel_nbthanks arand :)03:34
alex_mayorgaarand, thanks, but when I go into recovery the screen goes blank, due to noveau I believe03:35
arandalex_mayorga: recovery opption in boot menu?03:37
alex_mayorganow it's "UNEXPECTED INCONSITENCY run fsck manually", looks rather screwed03:38
arandalex_mayorga: do you get a shell there?03:38
alex_mayorgano, no shell, just failed mountall03:38
arandalex_mayorga: then run "fsck -fy /dev/sd##" from a livecd and hope for the best.03:39
alex_mayorgaall the ttys are unresponsive at that point03:39
alex_mayorgalet me try that03:39
alex_mayorgaarand: thanks, I just have 9.10 Live CDs, does it matter?03:40
arandalex_mayorga: as long as it supports the filesystem it should be fine.03:41
arandalex_mayorga: Did you by ny chance do any hard shutdowns lately?03:41
alex_mayorgano that I can think of, all with shutdown menu03:43
arandalex_mayorga: Ah, I just managed to completely hoose an ext4 system with shutdowns that way, kind of scary..03:45
alex_mayorgadoes 9.10 support ext4?03:45
rwwyes03:47
arandalex_mayorga: yea, even jaunty does03:47
arand9.10 installs ext4 by default even03:47
alex_mayorgaarand: there are sda, sda1, sda2 and sda5 which is the one I should pick?03:53
arandalex_mayorga: sudo fdisk -l should tell you which is the root "/" ext403:54
arandOr simply have a look in gparted03:54
alex_mayorga0.2% non-contigous, reboot?03:56
alex_mayorgait was sda1 it seems03:56
arandIt should say "Filesystem was modified!!" and something, that should be finished then03:57
alex_mayorgayep, it does03:58
alex_mayorgacross fingers and restart? anything else that might help?03:58
arandalex_mayorga: not that I know of, I guess you could mount the partiton and look at it from the liveCD, if you wanted...03:59
alex_mayorgaarnad: it booted again, thanks I owe you :)04:01
alex_mayorganow that I remember before I shutdown last time transmission was complaining /home was not writable, is that a clue?04:01
arandalex_mayorga: That most likely means "/" and hence /home (assuming you ahve them both on one partiton/filesystem), has been seeing errors, and hece have been remounted to read-only as a safety precaution..04:04
foxbuntuhey all, anyone here work with clutter?04:07
arandThe filesystem goes acko-whacko, and the kernel responds with "fsck you, I ain't touching that"04:07
alex_mayorgaarand: just confirming the toshiba drive on this vaio laptop is a lemon, thanks again, really appreciate your help04:07
foxbuntuI am trying to get clutter-cairo for lucid04:07
arandalex_mayorga: make sure you backup important stuff on the partition in question, should next time not be as lucky :)04:08
alex_mayorgaarand: luckyly I don't have anything important in the computer :)04:09
arandalex_mayorga: Since you're running alpha, you'd better not :D04:10
alex_mayorgaor so I believe, I certainly need one of those 1TB external disks just for fun, not toshiba, thats for sure04:10
alex_mayorgaarand, so very true :)04:10
AmaranthI wonder what happened to clutter-cairo...04:34

IngForiguaHello04:59
RAOFHello #ubuntu+1.  Who'd like to help me test for some Banshee crashes!04:59
IngForiguaSomeone try a open a pdf file with a password on evince and it crash?05:00
crimsunRAOF: I'd love to, but I'm completely the wrong person as I'm running master HEAD ;)05:01
RAOFNo, that's fantastic.05:01
crimsunoh, ok. Have at it, then...05:01
RAOFTry to play a video in Banshee.  Any video.05:01
crimsunnice05:02
crimsunyeah, that's kinda boomish.05:02
RAOFOk, so, that crashes due to gtk client-side windows.  Good.05:02
RAOFNow, let's try again, but setting the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=yes environment variable.05:03
RAOFThe video won't crash now, but I'd like you to try switching between video, starting a new song, and then going back to the “now playing” tab for the album art display.05:03
RAOFIf it's anything like my copy of banshee, *that* will crash (eventually) in some impossible part of Cairo.05:04
crimsunany estimate on when it might crash? song change? after seeking forward some amount?05:06
RAOFStart playing some video, which'll take you to now-playing.  Then start some other song so there's a change in the now-playing display to the track information + coverart.05:07
crimsuninterestingly enough, starting banshee-1 from a Terminal without GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=yes nondeterministically allows me to play the video05:07
RAOFIt's the wonders of threading.05:08
RAOFSometimes gdk doesn't die when you call gdk_x11_window_ensure_native in a random thread.05:08
RAOFOr possibly sometimes gstreamer picks the gdk thread as the thread to first call the relevent bit of banshee.05:09
crimsunwell, playing the video definitely switches to now-playing, but selecting another song (and playing it) doesn't switch automatically. Is the latter supposed to switch automatically?05:10
RAOFYou'll need to switch back to now-playing manually.05:11
RAOFAnd the crash should occur as it tries to switch back.05:11
RAOF(Eventually; this sometimes takes a couple of goes for me)05:11
RAOFI'm pretty sure the relevant transition is video->coverart05:11
crimsuncan't reproduce it here, unfortunately05:12
crimsunI should amend that to "can't reproduce it here yet"05:13
RAOFHeh.05:13
RAOFAre you on i386 or x86-64?05:13
crimsunthe latter.05:13
RAOFWhile you're here, want to test a patch to make deterministicly play video? :)05:14
crimsun-EPARSE05:15
RAOFIE: to fix the nondeterministic crashes in playing video.05:15
RAOFTo make it work without GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS05:16
crimsunI can try in about 40 minutes05:16
crimsunlemme know round about then if you still need me to05:17
RAOFOk.05:17

Milos__SDand " mountall: event failed is the last thing I see :(12:46

TheInfinityMilos__SD: then you should repair it with an live disc and chroot12:50
raqi'm back12:51
raqbetter is use daily cd to install or alpha 212:51
Milos__SDTheInfinity, how?12:52
Milos__SDI did chroot and tryed to downgrade, but it wants to remove all packages I have :S12:53
TheInfinityMilos__SD: then find the dependency prob :)12:53
Milos__SDI did downgraded libc6 and mountall, but I had the same problem :S12:53
Milos__SDthe only solution I see, is to install plymoth fully12:53
Milos__SDor do full upgrade to lucid12:54
TheInfinityuhh ...12:54
TheInfinityyou have a partitial upgrade?12:54
TheInfinitywtf?12:54

yofelMachtin: remove them, install virtuoso-nepomuk, then you can install them again13:17
yofelabout needed or not: I don't really know how nepomuk works so I don't know13:18
Machtinokay13:19
Machtinthanks :)13:19
petsoundsMachtin, i have the same problem. tell me if you find a way to  fix it. thanks13:22
Machtinpetsounds: you mean the one from 14:04:09(CET) or 14:16:38? because yofel's suggestion worked perfectly.13:26
Machtinthough i'm still unable to boot without interrupting via alt+print+k.13:27
petsoundsMachtin, E: Couldn't configure pre-depend virtuoso-opensource-6.0-bin for virtuoso-opensource-6.0, probably a dependency cycle.13:27

petsoundsMachtin, kk13:28
Machtinoh.. and i solved that other problem by removing plymouth.. though it was just a guess: thanks yofel :)13:46

ubottuLaunchpad bug 506717 in plymouth "[Lucid] plymouth does not display when using nvidia drivers" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/50671716:06
metricpianoI'm having the [ENTER] key lockup problems after the last update (within 24 hours), the last time it was when I was messing with video drivers for my ATI, and I'm wondering if something in the last update "fixed" nividia but broke mine... bascially every time I hit [ENTER] the sys freezed and I can't even CTRL+ALT+F2 to a prompt.  Also when booting I get black screen and have to switch to F2 screen then back to F7 to get GUI t16:12
metricpianoo render... which again is a symptom of video card problems... so is there a video update recently, and how do I roll it back if so?16:12
BluesKajmetricpiano, which driver?16:13
metricpianoi've been using whatever comes with 10.4 from a month ago, it works and when I tried to update things broke and I couldn't get them back... I know really useful... how do I find out?  Last time I just reinstalled to fix the video driver issues16:16
metricpianothat is when I tried to load ATI drivers and controllers things got bad, up until the last Update Manager update things were fine16:16
BluesKajmetricpiano, no nvidia won't break ati16:17
metricpianoalso my ICEauthority wouldn't update after the update manager reboot... have no idea what ICEauth is so don't know if it is related.  fixed by chown and 64416:21
metricpianothe only thing I've come across in the IRC logs is some discussion of nividia and something about [ENTER] and plymoth so I'm shooting in the dark16:22
raqhi i'm back16:24
raqproblem with nvidia and plymouth didn't resolve16:25
raqi purge plymouth and i can work normally16:25
metricpianois your problem wiht plymouth that the [enter] key locks up the system?16:26
raqyes16:26
metricpianobecause I have ATI and am having the same problem16:27
BluesKajmetricpiano, lucid 10.04 is an alpha release under development ..use the terminal to do your upgrades16:27
metricpianohow do I purge plymouth?16:27
raqsudo apt-get purge plymouth16:27
raqin recovery mode16:28
BluesKajnot a good idea!16:28
raqwhy ?16:28
raqbut it works16:28
BluesKajunless you know it will solve your problem , leave it alone , it's there for a reason , transition from boot to your login16:29
metricpianohow do I know it will solve the problem without removing it? :)16:29
BluesKajexactly16:30
raqremove 'splash' in grub doesn't work16:30
BluesKajgo ahead , be my guest ...just be ready to reinstall gnome-desktop-environment if you can't get past the prompt16:31
metricpianodid plymouth get updated recently?  how to tell?16:31
raqreinstall resolve problem ?16:32
metricpianothe last time I reinstalled to solve a similar problem it worked, but because reinstalling rolled back to the CD version that worked for me... and the problem was introduced by my own manually trying to update the drivers so since then I've been fine16:33
metricpianoraq, did you have ICEauthority problems right before this?16:33
raqno, after upgrade from alpha2 to actual build16:34
metricpianook, I had an ICEauthority issue at the same time16:35
metricpianowhen you booted did you have to switch terminal screens to get the GUI to render?16:35
raqno16:36

uffocan someone tell why desktop wont boot anymore and stays blank if i remove akonadi, how i can safetly remove it??16:50
metricpianonot recovery mode... whatever normal is16:50
metricpianouffo, when my desktop won't boot often I can get it by switching to a terminal (CTRL ALT F2) and then back (CTRL ALT F7)16:53
BluesKajuffo, the safest method is to disable akonadi in settings16:53
metricpianoI don't know what akonadi is so can't help with that16:53
raq_i will try it16:54
uffoBluesKaj: i want to remove it but how i can force it to remove without taking desktop16:54
Alexia_Deathuffo: if something has a dependency, its usally so for a reason.16:55
BluesKajuffo, it's a default , so removing it will take most of your desktop with it , just disable it in system settings16:55
uffoAlexia_Death: akonadi is for those kde contacts, pim etc... but kde desktop should not be affected, developers should make possible to remove it in final 10.0416:57
uffoopensuse has removed it by default SO it is possible16:58
Alexia_Deathuffo: often dependencies are created a t build tme.16:59
Alexia_Deathuffo: if something is off by default is not the same as being able to remove it if it was default. Dings may have been built against it and wont work, even if left.17:00
uffoAkonadi is not needed by lot of people http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/4272817:06

ZykoticK9aboSamoor, it' MUCH easier to just juse Pidgin with the pidgin-facebook plugin (with empathy there are ways to hack the same pidgin plugin into empathy, but i have never gotten it working)  best of luck.18:49
KilleroidZykoticK9: I assume you were talking about facebook support in pidgin? I'm pretty sure I saw something online about facebook enabling xmpp18:53
ZykoticK9Killeroid, yes facebook-chat + pidgin (or empathy) -- i'm not sure what xmpp is18:54
ZykoticK9Killeroid, oh - interesting18:55
KilleroidZykoticK9: its an open messaging protocol18:55

ZykoticK9Zorael, it doesn't :(  I was asking about that last night in this channel, and got it on GOOD authority it won't work20:00
taneliwhy is the wallpaper not spread on two monitors like it used to be?20:15
tanelihow to make it like it was in karmic ...20:15
ZykoticK9taneli, i'm certainly experiencing the same thing with my Twinview setup - thought i was going crazy actually, good to know i'm not alone ;)20:16
taneliach, but no solution then? btw, are your screens all the same size?20:17
ZykoticK9taneli, yup20:17
tanelialridy, mine are of different sizes, i was kind-of guessing that might have been the issue...20:17
VolkodavI have it spread on my laptop and second monitor20:18
Volkodavthey are different sizes and rez20:18
ZykoticK9taneli, I thought it might be caused by not using a dual-monitor wallpaper (which i wasn't), but now when i switch to a dual-monitor sized wallaper it's still doing the 2 wallapers and looks all messed up :(  now i want this fixed too!20:20
taneliVolkodav, what does "gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/background" show for you?20:22
Laumonierim trying to run on lucid lynx but when im launching it i just have a black screen is there any solution for it???20:25

ZykoticK9taneli, my googling of twinview backgrounds on lucid isn't turning anything up?  any luck on your end?  my "gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/background" just shows the background image being used, but no resolution or technical display info20:31
tanelihmmm, yeah my only guess wrt gconf settings was that there's an extra option to picture_options that makes it work20:33
DanaGhmm, is kde 4.4 network manager thingy SUPPOSED to not list any wifi networks at all, ever?20:38
ZykoticK9DanaG, I'm getting the impression that KDE might be having a little more issues then Gnome on Lucid right now - there seems to be more errors with ? DBUS or something similar?20:40
DanaGoh, and kde netbook thingy sucks, compared to both the gnome netbook thingy and kde regular.  =þ20:41
VolkodavKDE is always and everywhere more issues20:41

taneliaZykoticK9, did you have this problem for a long time? It probably broke in a update two days ago, can you confirm?21:47
arandZykoticK9: Isn't the background handled by nautilus in some way?21:48
ZykoticK9taneli, i cannot confirm it is has been since i install lucid, or an update recently - sorry21:48
ZykoticK9arand, yes actually - i can turn the background off using gconf setting21:49

ZykoticK9taneli, OH thanks!21:50

ZoraelWhat could cause KNetworkManager to just say "Unmanaged" and "Network Management disabled"? It's really refusing to do anything.22:04
