HillshumMy machine hangs on gdm login in alpha 3. I just report this as a bug right?00:00
rwwHillshum: does it hang right after you press the enter key to log in?00:02
Hillshumrww: No, it makes it through most of the sound, then repeats the last second or so a few times, then stops00:02
HillshumWhat package should I file a bug against?00:05
rwwHillshum: which sound? the one you get when gdm starts (before login) or the one when gnome starts (after login)?00:05
Hillshumrww: The longer one that plays after login00:06
rwwhmm, so it's probably not gdm itself00:06
rwwHillshum: I'm not sure. The #ubuntu-bugs people might know00:09
wirechiefanyone able to get lucid-netbook-i386.iso to boot from a usb on a netbook00:15
HillshumI got it to boot on a normal laptop00:17
wirechiefHillshum ok.00:18
wirechiefi tried my netbook but it just moves right past it on to grub (have lunix already installed)00:19
wirechieftried using startup disk creator on lucid desktop but it balks, im not able to get it to work no matter what i do to the stick.00:20
wirechiefi know the lucid usb startup works though i used it to make a lucid 10.4 startup.00:21
wirechiefoh well if i get really desperate i guess i can put it on a cd later.00:21
BluesKaj-Laptopwirechief, your BIOS boot sequence needs to br modified to look at the USB drive first , usually listed as removeable device00:27
BluesKaj-Laptopwirechief, i assume you did that already , but i have to mention the obvious00:28
booboohey guys... i have noticed something unusual with lucid that has never happened with any version in the past...on a sugle hard drive system it installs fine no issues...however on my dual hard drive system...the consistently asks whch drive I want the bootloader to be installed with..and no matter which I choose it fails...I brought this up once before00:29
booboowhy is it even asking me?  and why doesnt it install to the drive that ubuntu is being installed on?00:29
Jordan_Ubooboo, I think the fact that it asks has been fixed, what error does it give when it fails?00:30
boobooJordan_U,  none it just doesnt boot at all00:31
Jordan_Ubooboo, What happens when you try to boot?00:31
boobooJordan_U,  gets to grub menu...choose lucid  blank screen00:31
Hillshumrww: Should I pour over the logs left after the hang?00:31
boobooJordan_U,  or  no menu at all and black screen00:32
boobooJordan_U,  i am reinstalling lucid now on that system  but it hasne gotten to that choice area yet00:32
boobooJordan_U,   I will have to burn a new disk  then if that has been fixed00:33
wirechiefBluesKaj-Laptop: nope thats not my issue, i have two  distros already installed and working on that netbook but thanks for asking.00:34
Jordan_Ubooboo, I'm not sure if the fix is in an alpha yet.00:34
BluesKaj-Laptopwirechief, yeah, I should have read your earlier mention about the problematic stick00:35
Jordan_Ubooboo, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/base-installer/+bug/526422 ( when launchpad comes back up )00:35
boobooJordan_U,  ah ok00:35
wirechiefBluesKaj-Laptop: although i am curious why the lucid install is not able to create a bootable usb from the one i was using.00:35
ubottuLaunchpad bug 526422 in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau "Grub installer asks too many questions to the user" [Undecided,Confirmed]00:35
wirechiefBluesKaj-Laptop: i am sure that sdf and sdf1 are clean and formatted fat32, its a 4gb stick and it had 9.10 remix on it (not anymore)00:36
boobooJordan_U,  well apparenlty it has installed this time...installed lucid to one driver...karmic to the other...boot failed...reinstall lucid and it boots now...interesting00:36
boobooJordan_U,  oh you know what ...i think that choice area comes with dist upgrade00:37
boobooJordan_U,  so I will do that now  and see if it asks again.00:37
wirechiefBluesKaj-Laptop: i am not sure if a simple dd of the iso to the stick would work either (havent tried unetbooten)00:38
booboobe back after that :)  if it fails  i will try another distribution on that disk and leave karmic on the other00:38
Jordan_Ubooboo, On upgrades you *should* be asked what drive to install grub to because in karmic the drives were stored like "/dev/sda", which can change if you add / remove drives. In lucid /dev/disk/-by-id/ will be used instead but user input is required for the transition if it's non-trivial.00:40
boobooJordan_U,  well this isnt an upgrade to lucid...karmic has it';s own drive as does lucid00:42
boobooyet it still asks or suspect it will with the updates00:43
faileasrather newbieish question, but if i install the alpha, it should eventually update itself to the release version, right?00:47
rwwfaileas: yes00:47
crimsunit would be better if you were more proactive about updating, but yes.00:47
faileasoh, i will be ;p00:47
wgrantDoes anybody else have what looks a lot like Tamil has some of the category descriptions in Software Centre?00:48
wgrants/has/as/00:48
crimsunwgrant: confirmed00:49
wgrantAh, good, so I'm not actually crazy.00:50
crimsunI wouldn't go that far for myself :-)00:50
wgrantI wonder if it's a test of some kind.00:50
vbabiyHey guys is there a way to get flash working in 10.0400:58

mjs72311Hey guys.. Is the Dust theme broken for other people after the last few days updates?01:05
Steilusb drives not automounting anymore......is this due to removal of HAL?01:07
mjs72311There has been news that Lucid supports iPhone now.. Trying to figure this out01:09

itsharehi all. other then video card type+lucidy alpha 3, what other details are needed/could be provided in bugs about black screen of nothingness? (screen goes black after selecting the language)01:24
itsharei don't see any obviuos bugs on this subject :/01:24
Ian_CornePackage sun-java6-jdk is not available, but is referred to by another package.01:25
Ian_Corneanyone an idea?01:25
itshareIan_Corne: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=sun-java6-jdk&searchon=names&suite=lucid&section=all its not in lucid.01:27

DanaGthat makes absolutely no sense.01:35
DanaGs/a grub bug/that grub bug/01:35
itshareis there a way to boot up disabling aiglx in xorg?01:39

belakOk, plymouth is very broken with official nvidia drivers02:09
belakIt looked great with nouveau02:09
bjsnidernot merely broken but very much so02:09
belakYeah02:09
DanaGhttp://www.techeye.net/software/amd-and-nvidia-bitchfight-over-open-source-support02:09
DanaGnice headline.02:09
DanaGold news, though.02:09
bjsnidernvidia does not produce a kms driver02:09
belakIs there a way to remove it without causing issues?02:09
bjsniderso plymouth is useless02:10
belakbjsnider, yeah, I know... I'm dual booting gentoo as well02:10
bjsnidergentoo?02:10
bjsnidernever heard of it02:10
belakbjsnider, the opposite of ubuntu02:10
bjsniderthe opposite02:11
belakYou compile everything02:11
belakNothing works without configuring... for the most part02:11
belakAnd you can choose what support to compile in02:11
bjsniderso, it doesn't work, has no user participation, has moronic devs, and years in between releases i guess02:11
belakbjsnider, what does?02:11
belakgentoo?02:11
bjsniderif it's the opposite of ubuntu02:11
belakWell, not quite02:12
belakIt works if you set it up right. It has plenty of user participation. It's devs, while they do bicker, are quite smart, and it's a rolling release.02:13
DanaGThe only thing I see as "not user participation" is notify-osd.02:13
bjsnideri don't think "it works" should need a qualifier02:13
DanaGPlenty of flames have flown around about that one.02:13
belakbjsnider, well, if you want it set up right, it's fine with a qualifier02:14
belakAnyway, how can I get rid of plymouth?02:14
bjsniderthat needed a qualifier too02:14
belakOk, ok02:14
belakEnough02:14
belakRemoving plymouth doesn't break anything?02:15
bjsniderjust uninstall the plymouth package02:15
belakOk02:15
belakI'm used to uninstalling something and having something else break in ubuntu.02:15
belakThis is the most stable ubuntu alpha I've used in a long time.02:15
espen77plymouth gives a nice looking password prompt when u have encrypted root, to bad there is no oskb like onBoard for it.02:18
bjsniderDanaG, it looks like bridgman says that in 2 or 3 months the radeon driver will have full 2d and 3d support02:29
DanaGActually, it already is pretty durn close.02:30
DanaGThe last big blocker for me is that Radeon KMS eats watts like crazy.02:30
bjsniderDanaG, haven't they been saying 2 or 3 months for 2 or 3 years?02:39
DanaGnaw, I think it's been "a few months until" different things.02:39
DanaGthere was gradual development of 2d and 3d and all that.02:39
DanaGAs it is, even Nexuiz, with GLSL enabled, works pretty dang well.02:39
DanaGOnly works well under KMS, though.02:40
DSpairHiya gang.02:46
DSpairAnyone know how to resolve a problem where the EDID of my monitor is no always detected properly? I have an ATI Radeon HD 3200 on my motherboard and a 22" LCD using the VGA connector via a KVM and the resolution doesn't always come up right.02:47
wirechiefDSpair if you use the DVI cable it should make things work better than the vga cable connected, i had trouble with detection on my emachine until i used one.02:49
DSpairwirechief: Yes, but that would preclude using the KVM.02:49
DSpairSecond issue. How do I get to the GRUB menu when booting up in order to change the boot command line?02:50
arandDSpair: hold down shift02:50
wirechiefhit letter e then navigate to the section you want02:50
DSpairarand: When is says "GRUB loading"? Hit shift?02:50
wirechiefi wait until the screen i complete then hit e02:51
arandDSpair: Think you can hold it down earlier02:51
wirechiefhavent used shift to edit any.02:51
DSpairwirechief: I don't get a menu at all. It goes straight from "GRUB loading" to the Ubuntu splash screen.02:51
arandshift to get to the menu, e to edit entries02:52
DSpairI'm trying to get more details on a bug I filed about LVM and the document I was sent requires me to modify the boot command.02:52
DSpairarand: Thanks much!02:52
wirechiefhmm thats not right, its not giving you a chance to even test the media02:52
DSpairBBIAB. Gonna try that.02:52
DSpairwirechief: Not booting from the CD. After install.02:52
DSpairAnyhow, BRB02:53
DSpairOK, Booting now.02:55
DSpairarand: Thanks for the "SHIFT" key tip. That worked perfectly.02:56
DSpairWell, the debugging doc that the team sent me doesn't work on Lucid.03:08
mjs72311Hey guys, anyone else having issues with the Dust Theme after yesterday's update?03:11
DSpairmjs72311: Nope.03:11
DSpairOh, wait. I don't use Dust.03:11
DSpair:)03:12
mjs72311lol03:12
mjs72311Check the dust theme, see if the left and right sides are all foobar'ed03:12
DSpairAnyone know how to set the default boot option in GRUB on Lucid? There's no menu.lst that I can find.03:12
mjs72311DSpair, Yea, I found it the other day, 2 sec..03:12
DSpairmjs72311: Thanks much!03:13
mjs72311you're using Grub2, right?03:13
DSpairWhatever the default is on Lucid03:13
mjs723112 sec, I need to re-find the setting03:15
DSpairmjs72311: No worries. I appreciate the help. I searched around for some time earlier without much luck.03:15
mjs72311ok..03:16
mjs72311from here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#grub (/etc/default/grub)03:17
mjs72311edit the file /etc/default/grub03:17
mjs72311and change the line: GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT=saved03:17
mjs72311then it will just remember the last selection you choose03:18
DSpairThanks!03:18
mjs72311then you need to run a command to compile the changes in to the real grub03:18
mjs72311thats the command: update-grub03:18
mjs72311grub2 is so confusing compare to the old one..03:19
arandTo some extent, tis all apples and oranges to some extent...03:20
teethdoodso I installed KDE 4.4 yet again, tried to like it, could not stand it :(03:22
DSpairarand: But there is something to be said for consistency.03:22
DSpairDoes anyone know how to determine start order for upstart jobs?03:24
DSpairI want to set up a job to mount an LVM2 volume just before gdm starts.03:24
mjs72311I always setup my mounts in fstab, is that too late?03:25
DSpairmjs72311: Problem is that LVM2 is not getting mounted properly by fstab and is hanging up the boot.03:25
DSpairIf I set "noauto" on the home dir, I can mount it manually after boot just fine.03:25
mjs72311ick, you've reached the end of my knowledge on the subject tho. :-P03:26

BluesKajhe can't use the iso unless he clean installs03:41

rwwjoppan_: If you type "mount" in your Karmic's terminal, it should have a line that says "/dev/sdxy on /home"03:45
teethdoodspeaking of watching movies in ubuntu, 1080P movies stutter bad, while win xp runs them just fine (intel GMA graphics)03:46
BluesKajjoppan_, use the live cd and install to / , then use the manaul partition option , when the guide asks to format choose  "no" , then proceed with the rest of the install03:47
mjs72311teethdood, I assume you tried a few different players?03:47
teethdoodmjs72311: totem, mplayer and vlc03:48
mjs72311teethdood, if not.. I never had any issues with VLC in my experiance.. but I don't run alot of 1080p videos03:48
mjs72311teethdood, Alright.. dunno what to tell ya then.. :)03:48
mjs72311use a mac? :-D03:48
mjs72311sorry, didn't mean to burn.. :-P03:48
teethdoodmjs72311:  heh. It might be because my TV is 720p and the movie is 1080p. downscaling issues?03:48
mjs72311teethdood, I assume the downscaling happens in elsewhere.. what are you using to connect the PC to the TV?03:49
teethdoodbut the thing is win xp handles the same thing just fine. Pisses me off cuz I don't ever use xp03:50
teethdoodexcept to sync my stupid iphone03:50
teethdoodmjs72311: VGA out from laptop03:50
mjs72311thats an analog signal..03:51
mjs72311I wouldn't think its downscaling03:52
mjs72311probably just a lot to render for your pc03:52
teethdoodthe question remains, how come win xp renders it just fine? this on top of running antivirus etc03:53

un214well I get it most of the time on success resume so I filed a bug04:39
Jordan_UDSpair, You should also set "GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true" ( GRUB_DEFAULT=saved alone will only work until grub 1.98 final is packaged )04:41

SteilHi guys, I'm having issues with network-manager-vpnc not wanting to connect to a vpn that requires a rootcert, any ideas?05:41
espen77Steil: i think vpnc is the cisco vpn05:42
Steilespen77: yes05:42
perscitusWhat version of gnome will 10.04 have?05:42
Jordan_Uperscitus, 2.3005:42
perscitusoh good. no gnome-shell crap then05:43
perscitusgnome 3.0 and gnome-shell will be one giant leap (understatement) for gnome development05:44
perscitusbackwards*05:44
arandperscitus: It will be easily installable for testing, but not default no.05:45
espen77Steil: sorry, i havent any experience with vpn, nust know there is vpnc and openconnect for Cisco05:45
arandperscitus: All a matter of preference...05:46
perscitusarand,  I would bet you on that05:46
rww!info gnome-shell lucid05:46
Steilespen77: thanks, yeah i can use the command line vpnc but i can't use the network-manager frontend05:46
ubottugnome-shell (source: gnome-shell): graphical shell for the GNOME desktop. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.28.1~git20091125-1 (lucid), package size 445 kB, installed size 1596 kB05:46
arandperscitus: I quite like it, and with some finishing I'd say it's a viable replacement.05:48
perscitusarand,   The moment gnome-shell becomes part of gnome, is there day i use kde. end of story.05:49
perscitusI'm probably not the only ones too05:49
espen77Steil: you have both network-manager-{vpnc,vpnc-gnome} installed?05:49
arandperscitus: dito when kde4 came along, it's always going to be a rough start, and eveyone hates change anyways...05:50
Steilyes05:50
Steili just need to know how to enable rootcertificate05:51
perscitusarand,   except this change in gnome decrases usability05:51
arandperscitus: your opinion :)05:52
perscitusarand,   wanna bet?05:53
arandperscitus: safe bet, I know my opinion :) But yes, of course loads of people are going to hate it, there's no denying that, and in the first releases it might not be useful at all, but I still think the overall direction of it is not inherently bad.05:55
perscitusarand,  I just tried gnome-shell and i stand by my original opinion06:07
perscitusarand,   and there is difference between kde 3 -> 4 and gnome 2 to 306:11
arandperscitus: Also, gnomes will be gnomes, they make a lot of (in many's opinion) stupid decisions and changes, but I've come to the conclusion that if I'm gonna care about every little thing they do wrong I will sooner or later get a nervous breakdown, there is always kde, openbox, gnome-legacy, etc. If gnome3 does in the end turn out to be crap, well so be it, it's gnome wasting time, not me.06:21
espen77there is allways mwm if gnome3 is to bad :P (http://xwinman.org/screenshots/mwm-tomp.gif)06:36

kermiachey, can anyone confirm ALT + "t" opening a terminal window is default/ expected behaviour in lucid?07:08
=== holstein is now known as Arnie_Zoo
=== Arnie_Zoo is now known as holstein
kermiacor where I could find out?07:09
ZykoticK9kermiac, alt+t does open a terminal on my gnome+compiz 'somewhat' default Lucid07:12
kermiacty ZykoticK9 :)07:13
kermiacZykoticK9: do you happen to have ati graphics?07:15
arandkermiac: I thought it was ctrl+alt+t?07:16
ZykoticK9kermiac, I'm sorry - but NO way.  I avoid ati like the plague.07:16
arandor did it chanfe?07:16
kermiacZykoticK9: I don't blame you - wise decision :)07:17
ZykoticK9arand, kermiac ctrl+alt+t does nothing here?07:17
kermiacarand: that's what I was wondering too07:17
kermiacwould it be in metacity changelogs maybe?07:17
kermiacor does some other package handle default shortcut keys?07:18
ZykoticK9kermiac, if you are using gnome, compiz or metacity makes no difference on my system - alt+t opens a terminal either way07:21
kermiachmm... http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/m/metacity/metacity_2.28.1-0ubuntu2/changelog says CTRL+ALT+T07:21
ZykoticK9kermiac, System / Prefs / Keyboard Shortcuts -- under Desktop find Open a terminal window -- mine shows Alt+T07:23
ZykoticK9kermiac, my system was last updated 7 hrs ago - but i do have some updates, i'll see if it's the same after07:25
kermiacZykoticK9: yes, mine says ALT+T too07:27
ZykoticK9kermiac, no change after updates (but can't log out right now so not really a good test).  Does the alt+t work on your system?07:29
kermiacI just finished doing updates now & rebooted but no change07:30
kermiacyes, ALT+T works (and is set in keyboard shortcuts) on my lucid box07:30
kermiacCTRL+ALT+T does nothing - still looking into exactly what package handles the keyboard shortcuts07:31
* kermiac is confused07:32
vishthe keyboard shortcuts has is mapped as ctrl+alt+t , but that does nothing , only alt+t opens a terminal07:35

ZykoticK9in USC i like the "Provided by Ubuntu", with other repos listed beneath it's a cool feature really.  is there a way to add PPAs to this list as well?  side note: the inability to get more information about a package from within USC is a major failing of this interface right now.07:50

kjeldahlFWIW, I'm experiencing serious trouble with Thunderbird on a dual screen setup with compositing active. Turning off compositing seems to get Thunderbird back to normal. Symptom is missing paint events/updates.08:29

ZykoticK9kermiac, i'm affraid i don't see a bug there - i see working as designed - it's set in my keyboard preferences to open a terminal, and it does.08:58
kermiacok nvm... it is actually a bug. CTRL+ALT+T should open terminal, not ALT+T... but that's ok08:59

sidhi would like to know one thing : there is a known bug with karmic amd64 SMP kernel and virtualbox running windows guest extremely slow, so i upgraded to lucid and didn't get that problem anymore, to day i distupgrade lucid , and i get again that problem ?14:03
sidhas the initial problem relates to the kernel, and this morning the dist-upgrade updated the kernel14:04
sidhi wonder if the karmic's kernel problem has been ported to lucid's14:04
sidhhttp://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/5501  <= Here is the original problem14:06
wirechiefsidh vbox 3.0.10 is old have you tried the most recent ?14:15
sidh3.1.4r57640 <= i'm running this version14:18

wirechiefno need to be sorry, you might have discovered a bug, however these kernels are changing almost daily it seems.14:28
wirechiefi have vbox 3.0.12 r54655 and am going to update that, i noticed that lucid is not fully supported by it with guest additions.14:30
wirechiefmaybe the newer one with a updated guest additions will provide better performance, however my guest is lucid not windows, is that xp or win7 your running in vm ?14:31
wirechiefah... W2k guest machine14:32
wirechiefok14:32
wirechiefsidh are you using any boot cheats with lucid ? like nomodeset or disabling ipv6 ?14:35

setuidSomething broke again in the most-recent kernels15:09
setuidNow my CPU only goes to a max of 50% speed, even though it shows as being a 2.4Ghz proc15:09
setuid# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies15:09

setuid# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq15:10
setuid120000015:10
setuidEven when I force it by passing 'performance' to scaling_governor, it still only goes to 1.2Ghz15:10
sidhsetuid: which kernel ?15:11
setuidThis worked with 2.6.32-10, and fails with -13 and -15, and now when I go back to -10, it no longer works there either... so i think something else was installed, that is causing this (acpi changes?)15:11
setuidNothing I can do, will get it past 1.2Ghz15:13

nemoSo. Just wondering.15:21
nemoIf we manage another release of Hedgewars in, oh, the next two weeks15:21
nemocould it make it into Lucid?15:22
nemois nice to minimise linux users complaining the game server is empty 'cause they are on old protocol version15:22
ActionParsnipnemo: it may get added or there may be a ppa with it15:22
nemoActionParsnip: well. we do direct people to the ppa15:22
nemobut it only picks up a fraction of ubuntu users15:22
nemobasically the ones who hit the site directly instead of using package management15:23
ActionParsnipnemo: if you submit a bug stating the issues the new version solves it may get added faster15:23
nemomm15:23
gnomefreaknemo: it will need a feature freeze exception unless it is just a security update. but you would need to file a bug on it (at least best way)15:23
nemo'k15:23
nemowell. guess we'd better release in advance of Lucid then, since turnaround on that would presumably not be instantaneous :)15:24
gnomefreaknemo: what version is it you want in Lucid?15:25
Yarozehttp://85.227.171.126/white.3gp <-- my problem at bootup if anyone is interested15:25
nemognomefreak: next one ;)  will probably be called 0.9.1315:25
nemognomefreak: still in dev15:25
nemobut we might call a code freeze soon15:25
* gnomefreak not sure if we are willing to take dev this late in the devcycle but someone from motu would know more. you can try asking in #ubuntu-motu15:27
setuidsidh, any ideas?15:41
setuidI just killed off upowerd, and it seems to allow my manual scripts to set scaling to function... Is upowerd new in the last day or two's updates?15:41
setuidwait no, I take that back... it's still 1.2Ghz15:42
nemognomefreak: well. the main issue is ubuntu users who aren't on latest protocol basically can't play with anyone15:45
nemognomefreak: last release was in, on, November, since then protocol has changed quite a bit15:46
nemowell. they can play with other ubuntu users, but that's a fairly small percentage of the gamers :)15:46
nemo... other ubuntu users who didn't switch to playdev15:46
nemoer15:46
nemoplaydeb15:46
gnomefreaknemo: i have never used it or heard of it. motu would be able to give you a better idea. if code changes that backports would have to handle it for <Lucid15:47

timboycan I get real java in lucid or is java support going to die?18:37
Ian_CorneI was asking the same thing18:37
Ian_Cornebut then went to bed :p18:37
robin0800timboy: I think its in ubuntu restricted extras18:38
mrmcq2utimboy - openjdk is real java18:38
mrmcq2uopenjdk is going to be the base for jdk718:38
kulightopenjdk works very well18:38
mrmcq2uI think you should go to the #openjdk channel to ask whether preware should work or not18:39
ZykoticK9timboy, I hear you can just use the bin from www.java.com and it's reported to work fine if you'd prefer18:40

kulighthow do you hide the join disconnected messages in empathy18:41
duffydackif openjdk is open, why is it "restricted"-extras18:41
kulightduffydack, good question18:41

pgoetzI'm trying to debug some Samba problems in Lucid (having to do with mounting shares from outside the firewall) and notice the following weirdness:18:55

Yarozehttp://85.227.171.126/white.3gp <-- my problem at bootup if anyone is interested19:26
kevin009can we remove pulseaudio from 10.4, or will it break the audio controls like in 9.10?19:27
kevin009this is why I still use 9.0419:27
Yarozekevin009: there is a way to remove pulseaudio from 9.10 by replacing bits from 9.0419:28
kevin009will we still have to do that in 10.04 though? PA causes too much latency for my liking19:29
Yarozekevin009: yeh i think so.. im running the xfce mixer here instead of gnomes atm19:32
Yarozei wish they would stop forcing people to use PA..nobody wants it19:33
nemoheh19:33
badpexcept those who do19:33
nemoYaroze: some people do19:33
kevin009yes it should be optional. that would eliminate all of the angry ranting19:33
nemooptional would solve that19:33
nemoyep19:33
Yarozenemo: yeh but they either dont run normal apps or games like quake.. or they have a crappy soundcard19:33
nemobadp: problem is, isn't Gnome moving to it exclusively?19:33
zniavregood evening19:34
nemobadp: so isn't like ubuntu could just eliminate it w/o extra maintenance19:34
zniavreit looks as last xorg/mesa update broke my nvidia 173.14 driver19:34
kevin009well that seems weird, because gnome is accessible with orca, but pa causes lag with orca19:34
badpI'm no Shuttleworth but I think the point is PulseAudio is richer in features and whatnot19:34
badplike per-application volume control19:35
Yarozericher in features? than what?19:35
badp..other sound toolkits?19:35
Yarozei dont want them19:35
kevin009but i suspect that many users are like myself. they just want the audio to come out of the speakers as soon as possible19:36
badpI don't know, sound works for me (if I except ioquake) and that's good enough for me I guess19:36
Yarozeyeh and many dont want distorted sound either19:36
Yarozeor none at all (pulse does not work at all with some cards)19:36
badpnot even youtube gives me noticeable lag on sound...19:36
Yarozescrew the lag, the fucked up sound quality is more important :)19:37
bjsniderwhat sound cards does pulse not work with?19:38
wirechiefprobably the most asked question from users with Pulse Audio in #alsa channel : How can we disable or remove Pulse Audio ?19:41
Machtin:D19:41
badpkeep in mind people come in that channel because they have trouble with PA ;)19:42
wirechiefi know i dealt with em for months ;019:42
bjsniderif you hav pulse problems you've almost always got a bad alsa driver19:42

wirechiefthere is a lot of disappointment and anger over that one program .19:46
wirechiefbut maybe someday it will just work.19:46
badpResults 1 - 10 of about 47,700,000 for ubuntu19:46
badpbut good try in dodging my point ;)19:47
wirechiefit wouldnt be so bad if the users had a choice, they really dont. its what linux is suppose to be about.19:47
bjsniderthey can choose to pooch their systems if they want19:49
bjsniderpulse wasn't conceived of as something that would be an onerous burden on users, but something they would want. and would be useful19:51
badpwhy don't you file a bug in launchpad about it, however, if you feel so strongly on the topic?19:52
kevin009iirc bugs have been filed19:54
kevin009but people just say "pulseaudio is the future"19:54

AtomicSparknFxus: Encrypted LVM protects everything but your kernel. Which you can store on a removable device. Perfect for the crazies.23:27
nFxuswhat are the advantages to using LVM or LVM2?.. I will be setting up a Raid6 with 16 1.5TB drives. I will be using a 2GB SSD IDE card for the OS.. any advise is welcome. Current thoughts are 100MB /boot 2GB crypted / Raid6's /home/userdir/r1&r223:36
nFxusboth raid6's will be crypted as well23:37
nFxusi would like to make the root / .. readonly.. to prolong the life of the ssd card.23:38
nFxusat the same time I would like to use Lucid so that I am 1up .. I have to install the ssd and ship to datacenter. so this has to be prep'ed so to speak23:40

nFxusbtw.. I have looked at ALL kinds of tut's out there. So I have readme knowlage but.. human knowlage is better if anyone whats to chip in23:41
