redDoes the Nokia N900 mounting work on lucid yet?00:00
nightsjammiesI was asking in here because this room might know of the differences in packages between the two distros.00:02
ddecatorred: no idea. test it =)00:02
redwell i dont have an access to a botnet to test wether it works or not :D00:03
ZykoticK9nightsjammies, it has something to do with libipod* - i have no idea what mind you.00:05
nightsjammiesah, okay. thanks much then :)00:05

Some_Personugh, stupid packages with borked dependencies00:25
BUGabundoahah00:26
Some_PersonI can't install tilp00:26
Some_PersonAnyone know a quicky fix for this crap?00:29
ddecatorrolling up your sleeves and resolving the dependencies...00:30
MTughanIs there a way I can configure the battery applet in the menu bar to show me percentage of battery used? All I can get is the remaining battery time.00:31
Some_Personddecator: It's not my fault00:31
ddecatorSome_Person: i know it's not, i'm just not sure there is an easy fix. i had 5 packages that wouldn't upgrade and it was a matter of me removing one package and installing another =\00:32
Some_Persontilp depends on libticables2-2 and libticalcs2-7, but those 2 cannot be installed together as libticalcs2-7 depends on libticables2-1 instead00:32
ddecatorhm, wonder if that's a temporary thing or if that's how it's been for awhile00:33
quentusrexHow goes the beta?00:35
quentusrexis there a page for major issues discovered?00:35
Some_PersonWhat should I do about this, and will I be forced to wait days to be able to transfer to/from my calculator?00:35
mc44Some_Person: you should not use an unstable version if you need to do actual work, for one00:37
Some_PersonAnyway, should I file a bug for this?00:39
ddecatorwhoa, docky alerts pulsate now o.o00:39
greezmunkeyIs there a good source of info on the progress of 10.04? Especially the outlook for an on time release, stability, and such.00:44
MTughanTime release? April 2010. :P00:44
greezmunkeyHow about I call it a "progress report" !!00:45
quentusrexAnyone know if there is a simple way to upgrade to lucid from karmic on a server?00:50
quentusrexdo-release-upgrade -d is hanging for me.00:51
Loungei filed a bug rp #544628. problems with xorg, not sure if its already be filed00:57
MTughanIf there seems to be a problem with Evolution, would I report it to Ubuntu or GNOME?00:58
quentusrexMTughan, what is the problem?00:59
MTughanquentusrex: Evolution allows multiple mail accounts to be set up, but it always uses the SMTP settings for the default account.00:59
MTughanVerified with two of the non-default accounts of my 6 set up.01:00
quentusrexthat would probably be 'both' :)01:01
quentusrexstart with upstream, then report to launchpad the upstream report01:02

MTughanquentusrex: No, I mean I have 6 accounts set up on there, and I've tried sending mail from 2 of the non-default accounts.01:31
MTughanAlso, what do you mean by upstream?01:31
quentusrexMTughan, post for gnome first,01:33
quentusrexthen post on launchpad01:33
MTughanThat would mean creating both a Bugzilla and Launchpad account, wouldn't it?01:34
MTughanGNOME Bugzilla account, that is.01:34
quentusrexMTughan, yes, that is true. Hopefully you will be able to use the accounts again.01:35
MTughanDunno that I would. I don't file many bug reports.01:35
MTughanI'd generally switch to something else I know works, like Mozilla's Thunderbird in this case.01:36

luciancan't find the volume applet!01:39
MTughanlucian: You have sound?01:40
luciani've clicked on system --> preferences --> sound, and now its saying "waiting for sound system to respond" and hanging01:40
lucianMTughan: yes i hear sound01:41
MTughanYeah, your sound daemon seems to be hung.01:41
luciani've tried alsa force-reload01:41
lucianstill hangs01:41
MTughanBecause it's not ALSA. It's PulseAudio.01:41
luciani remove pulaseaudio01:41
jmcantrellafter installing and updating, i can't get to the login screen. it just sits at the splash screen. how can i peek at what's going on or if there are any error messages?01:41
lucianremoved it01:41
MTughanThat could be why Sound Preferences and the Volume applet aren't showing then. I believe they're designed for PulseAudio.01:42
MTughanYou'll have to find replacements.01:42
lucianhow can it still be hanging if i've removed pa already?01:42
lucianbut i hate pulseaudio >:(01:42
luciancant stand it01:43
MTughanBecause it's waiting for PulseAudio to start, but it's not there.01:43
MTughanWhat's wrong with PulseAudio? Works for me just fine.01:43
lucianit bugs out on me,01:43
MTughanI've got three Linux installations using it now with no problems.01:43
lucianpa doesn't get along with my system01:43
MTughanAll right... I think it means you can't use the default Sound Preferences though then.01:44
lucianmy system is 4 years old with an intergrated soundcard using a codec that barely supports linux01:44
MTughanYou can't blame PulseAudio for having troubles with that then, I would think.01:45
lucianand pa causes allot of my games and secondlife viewer to crash01:45
luciani dunno, it seemed that my system ran allot better, sounded allot better without pa01:45
jmcantrellwhy would my splash screen be just text and not the pretty image?01:46
lucianand didn't crash as much01:46
MTughanlucian: Well, that's possible. Still means you have to replace the built-in stuff for sound.01:46
MTughanjmcantrell: Could probably be a number of reasons. Do you see an error scroll by in the text?01:47
jmcantrellMTughan: no01:47
jmcantrellMTughan: nothing stands out in /var/log/messages either01:47
MTughanWhat kind of graphics?01:47
lucianpulseaudio and games are not fond of one another01:47
jmcantrellwhat handles the splash screen in lucid?01:48
MTughanlucian: PulseAudio and Frozen Bubble get along on two of my systems.01:48
ZykoticK9jmcantrell, after grub comes plymouth01:48
MTughanjmcantrell: plymouthd IIRC.01:48
jmcantrellZykoticK9, MTughan: why would plymouth have a text splash screen that says "Ubuntu 10.04" instead of the graphical one?01:49
ZykoticK9jmcantrell, that's all i get with nvidia-blob as well01:49
jmcantrellmaybe it's an nvidia thing01:49
MTughanCould be. The splash screen works fine on my laptop with ATI graphics.01:50
jmcantrellyeah, they work fine on my netbook too01:50
MTughanWhich probably has Intel graphics.01:50
jmcantrelli wonder why they moved away from usplash. that worked fine with nvidia01:51
bjsniderthe nvidia blob has no kms driver so naturally you don't get much with plymouth01:52
jmcantrellhas anyone had trouble getting to the login screen with nvidia cards? i can't seem to01:52
lucianjmcantrell: yes i have01:53
jmcantrelllucian: have you been able to fix it?01:53
lucianfor now i'm using the nv drivers for now01:54
jmcantrellah01:54
lucianwill there only one driver01:54
jmcantrelldo you think this will be fixed?01:54
luciansomething's going on with the nvidia drivers at this time01:54
jmcantrellhow do i regenerate the default xorg.conf?01:55
luciani'd use the xorg.conf.failsafe01:55
jmcantrellwhere is that? i don't see it in /etc/X1101:55
ZykoticK9jmcantrell, if you're using nvidia you could try "sudo nvidia-xconfig" to generate a new nvidia xorg.conf01:57
jmcantrellZykoticK9: tried that01:57
hackeronhey, what's the equivalent to hal-find-by-capability now that hal is gone?01:57
lucianZykoticK9: i tried that and it made my screen 640x480 and i couldn't change it back01:57
ZykoticK9lucian, well for absolute default just mv xorg.conf to a different name and let autodetect to try, or to generate an xorg.conf the old fashioned way see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file01:59
jmcantrellwhat are the chances that the nvidia driver will work by the time lucid releases?01:59
lucianbasically i was trying to install the drivers as instructed here01:59
lucianhttp://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/alpha201:59
lucianand it didn't work01:59
lucianif you scroll down to the "known issues"02:00
jmcantrellwhat's a card that's known to work well with ubuntu with no trouble?02:02
Hellowjmcantrell: My nVidia GeForce 6200 is working well. It's not fast, but it works.02:02
jmcantrelli want to steer clear of nvidia. they seem to be so problematic02:03
HellowATI is worse.02:03
arandIntel, I guess...02:03
MTughanATI works fine.02:03
MTughanJust don't use their drivers, use the open source drivers.02:04
HellowMTughan: +102:04
HellowTheir drivers break more often than nVidia's.02:04
MTughanDoes it matter? Both are closed-source.02:04
MTughanMeans we're slaved to their update cycle if we use their drivers.02:05
lucianthey're usually buggy in alha builds02:05
HellowDoes the open-source ATI drivers support 3D hardware acceleration?02:05
lucianalpha02:05
Hellows/does/do02:05
MTughanHellow: Well, the graphics here are turned up. And I had Compiz working with source-compiled radeonhd drivers under Fedora 12.02:05
luciannope because "too big to fail"02:05
Andre_Gondimhow do I connect Ubuntu One in lucid?02:06
hackeronanyone? what's the equivalent to hal-find-by-capability now that hal is gone?02:06
Andre_Gondimhackeron, udev02:07
jmcantrellremoving the xorg.conf file doesn't help. i still can't get to the login screen02:07
jmcantrelldo i need to remove the drivers too?02:08
MTughanHellow: Yep, the distorted window dragging from Compiz works fine with the open source drivers shipped with 10.04. This is with an ATI Radeon HD3470 Mobile.02:08
hackeronAndre_Gondim: no such command udev02:09
HellowMTughan: glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"02:09
HellowIf yes, then it supports hardware 3D acceleration.02:09
MTughanGive me a sec, need to install glxinfo.02:09
MTughanI'll need power soon too.02:09
junosDoes anybody know how to fix wireless on a dell mini 10v with ubuntu 10.4?  The controller keeps reseting02:09
Andre_Gondimhackeron, devidekit http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/Ubuntu-10.04-Alpha-2-Removes-HAL02:10
MTughanHellow: Yes.02:10
HellowAh, then the open-source ATI drivers are >>>> open-source nvidia drivers.02:10
HellowAndre_Gondim: There should be an option under "Places" called "Ubuntu One".02:11
hackeronAndre_Gondim: devicekit: command not found02:11
rwwjunos: do you have an ethernet connection you can use?02:12
rww(you can fix it, but you need to install some packages)02:12
junosyep02:13
Italian_PlumberI must say I love the new artwork02:13
rwwjunos: alright. Plug it in, install the "b43-fwcutter" and "bcmwl-kernel-source" packages (e.g. sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter bcmwl-kernel-source), say Yes when it prompts about installing firmware, and make sure you stay connected to ethernet until it's done installing the packages. Then, reboot.02:13
rwwjunos: there's a bug somewhere about the open-source b43 (which is what it tries to use by default) driver not working, but I don't have the link handy.02:15
hackeronanyone? what's the equivalent to hal-find-by-capability now that hal is gone?02:15
jmcantrellonce i've removed the nvidia drivers and the xorg.conf, is there anything else i need to do to get back to the default settings?02:15

luciani'm just gonna say yes02:24
=== ProjectXXSorrow is now known as ProjectxSorrow
MTughanhackeron: Perhaps no one knows the answer here. Maybe you can find the package that replaced HAL and see what tools it provides.02:24
jmcantrellanyone?02:25
MTughanjmcantrell: There is movement on the screen? It hasn't frozen?02:25
hackeronMTughan: the news say libudev which is used in C apps and devicekit which has no packages02:25
jmcantrellMTughan: the splash screen is animating, it just never goes further02:26
crimsunhackeron: you can always just install hal.02:26
hackeroncrimsun: yeh, but I want to use the new shiny stuff :)02:26
junosrww:  I installed the packages...but I still can't connect to the internet.  If I type dmesg It says, "b43-phy0 fatal DMA ERROR...Controller RESET"02:27

junosrww: I did02:27
junostwice02:27
rwwjunos: weird. does "lsmod | grep b43" output anything?02:28
rwwoh. actually. you might need to shutdown rather than just restarting. I vaguely remember that being necessary for some silly reason.02:29
rwwso power off and then power back up again02:29

zeebleHello. Have multiverse and universe enabled in my sources. Can anyone tell me the meta-package to install Sun's JRE?02:48
zeebleapt-cache shows me OpenJDK with Hotspot02:48
ranjanzeeble, its available in the ubuntu software center02:48
zeebleUmm, what is Ubuntu Software Centre/02:49
zeebleI thought everything that is available to install, can be installed via apt02:49
ranjanClick on the application menu..u can see software center at the bottom02:49
zeeblelol, I dont have X running..02:49
zeebleBut yeah, I will look at that.02:49
zeebleJust getting packages right now after a very base install02:50
ranjanok..then you should enable the Lucid partners repository02:50
zeeblehmm02:50
zeebleranjan: the canonical lucid partner repo?02:50
rwwzeeble: yes02:51
ranjanwait...is your multiverse repository enabled??02:51
zeebleah, uncommented in sources.list02:51
zeebleyes.02:51
zeeblemultiverse and universe.02:51
rwwSun Java is in partner now, not multiverse :)02:51
zeeblethanks, now getting sun-java-jre in apt-cache02:51
zeeble:))02:51
zeeblenow i have to remove the openjdk nonsense :p02:51
ranjanrww, but even without enabling partners repository i have sun jre02:52
ranjanrww, !!02:52
zeebleHm, wow. Inconsistent, then.02:53
rwwranjan: presumably because you upgraded from Karmic and it kept the packages from then, or something.02:53
zeebleThough, I have never used that Ubuntu that ubuntu software centre02:53
ranjanrww, no its a fresh installation02:53
rwwranjan: okay. Well, they're not in multiverse, so... yeah.02:53
ranjanrww, sorry sorry...actually i have enabled it... thank you02:54
ranjanrww, :)02:54
rww:)02:54
zeeblebleh. I think i messed up something during the upgrade. gnome-panel doesnt want to load02:56
zeebleranjan: you're from somewhere in India?02:56
ranjanzeeble, yes :) and you??02:57
zeebleranjan: same.02:57
ranjanzeeble, where??02:57
zeebleranjan: mumbai02:57
ranjanzeeble, oh ..thats great02:57
ranjanzeeble, how long you are using linux??02:58
zeebleranjan: heh, off and on. since my uni days. that would be 1996/702:58
ranjanzeeble, oh great..02:58
zeebleranjan: but i more or less use windows full time :\ spreadsheets and MS apps02:58
ranjanzeeble, ok..but i think that you dont find openoffice good isnt it??02:59
zeebleranjan: no! I have a codeweavers license to run MS Office on Linux02:59
ranjanranjan, ok, :) how much that cost??03:00
zeebleranjan: openoffice is fine for a lot of stuff, if you disable the Java in it. But I need MS for some macros and functions that are essential to my work.03:00
zeebleranjan: um you can check out the codeweavers site for Crossover Office. They have different bundles and prices for students. Can get heavy discount.03:00
ranjanzeeble, ok..let me ask one think...some time before you were saying that you dont have X03:01
ranjan:)03:01
zeebleranjan: Yeah, I hadnt installed all of X libs then. Installed them quickly03:01
zeebleGot a fast connection03:01
ranjanzeeble, ok :) now how is lucid??03:01
zeebleCopying some of teh config files from a previous install, etc.03:02
ranjanzeeble, ok03:02
zeebleranjan: Havent been working long enough on this yet, but should be good. As long as it is stable, I am fine. Not like I will reboot the machine every day03:02
ranjanzeeble, ok..but it boots in just 10 secs...thats a great achivement as far as an OS is concerned03:03
zeebleranjan: heh. Not one an essential feature, but might help lots of people out there. Quick boot times.03:04
ranjanzeeble, yes:)03:04
zeebleranjan: you dual boot your machine?03:05
MTughanBoots in 17.5 seconds from GRUB here.03:05
MTughanGranted, I'm using a 2.5" drive, but it is 7200rpm.03:05
ranjanzeeble, no...now only linux03:05
MTughanranjan: You can run only Linux and still dual-boot. I dual-boot Ubuntu 10.04 and Fedora 12 on my laptop.03:05
zeeble:)03:05
ranjanMTughan, for me on an Intel Pentium D processor with GB and 2GB RAM03:06
zeebleMy laptop still runs Karmic. Upgrading the workstation03:06
ranjanMTughan, boots in less than 12 secs03:06
zeebleWhat sort of services do you have enabled, MTughan?03:06
MTughanzeeble: Where would I check that?03:06
MTughanranjan: Huh. Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 with 2GB of RAM.03:07
ranjanMTughan, and whats your boot time??03:07
MTughanranjan: I said, 17.5s to login screen from GRUB.03:07
ranjanMTughan, are you using karmic???03:07
MTughanNope, Lucid beta 1.03:08
MTughanActually, it's from the start of the first GRUB. I've layed GRUB because of dual-booting, but I don't think the second GRUB takes that long.03:08
zeebleMTughan: try in the Administration menu - Services03:08
ranjanMTughan, oh..:( but then i feel lucky03:08
ranjanMTughan, :)03:09
zeebleMTughan: there's a utility available that allows you to view list of services.. trying to remember its name03:09
ranjanzeeble, is it bum??03:09
zeeblecould be03:09
ranjanzeeble, boot up manager03:09
ranjan:)03:09
zeebleI tend to use update-rc.d to stop services.. so not really familiar with that tool03:10
MTughanzeeble: Doesn't seem to be installed by default. Services, that is.03:10
zeebleMTughan: apt-get install bum03:10
zeeblenow just to install xfce4 and this setup is done03:13
MTughanzeeble: What do the different icons mean?03:13
zeebleMTughan: to be honest, I havent used bum. I start stop services using a command called update-rc.d03:14
zeeblecheck the ones which are running and turn them off using update-rc.d -f remove03:14
MTughanLooks like only two are running: pulseaudio and cups.03:14
zeeblecups is a printing service, so you might need it.03:14
MTughanYeah, the Common Unix Printing Service.03:15
MTughanPulseaudio is the sound daemon.03:15
zeebleYou should have many more services than that..03:16
zeebleBut these are essential ones.03:16
MTughanYeah, so you would think. Something like NetworkManager.03:16
zeebleStop worrying about the boot times, as long as it works fine when you are booted up03:16
zeebleyes. network, logging, etc. lots of services come up on boot.03:16
MTughanOh, I should sort the columns right... :P03:16
MTughanpulseaudio, cups, avahi, acpid, udev, dbus, and cron are running now.03:17
zeebleall essential03:17
MTughanLooks like bluetooth, rsync, saned, pppd-dns, bootlogd, ntp, and gdm are also starting up, but aren't currently running.03:17
zeebledoes your laptop have bluetooth?03:17
zeebleI'd disable services like bluetooth, rsync, saned, and gdm03:18
MTughanYes.03:18
MTughangdm provides the login screen.03:18
zeebleif at any time you need bluetooth, just start the service manually03:18
zeeblehm, okay. gdm too then03:18
jmcantrellhas anyone tried installing the latest nvidia drivers from a ppa?03:18
zeebleI boot to text mode usually :)03:18
MTughansaned for sure. Not sure about rsync.03:19

zeebleyeah.03:20
MTughanI can always use bootchart to see what's taking a lot of time on startup too.03:20

jmcantrelllucian: have you tried nvidia drivers from a ppa?03:21
zeeblehm wow. trying to install the murrine themes and its a 20M download03:22
un214all right, who broke the failsafe drivers this close to a release?03:29
un214Now I've a real problem.03:30
un214This system boots to an unusable console unless I remove fbcon.ko from the system.03:31
un214backup kernel boots but no X03:31
un214look I'm not kidding here.03:32

zeebleZykoticK9: niice :)03:37
un214what's it take to fix X broken on a system where fbcon can't be used?03:37
jmcantrellhow can i turn off the splash screen?03:38
un214apt-get remove usplash03:38
jmcantrellalso, how do i get into the grub menu?03:38
un214ESC03:38
MTughanun214: It uses plymouth now, not usplash.03:39
un214hmmm maybe that's why my system is hosed03:39
jmcantrelli don't seem to have the opportunity to hit esc03:39
un214I removed usplash as it broke my system awhile ago03:39
jmcantrellyeah, esc does not get me to the grub menu.03:40
DasEijmcantrell: it's left shift in grub 203:41
jmcantrellDasEi: ah03:41
DasEijmcantrell: file is now /etc/default/grub,  after changes run : sudo update grub03:41
DasEi*update-grub , ^typo03:42
jmcantrellwtf. cryptsetup depends on plymouth?03:42
jmcantrellhow do i get rid of this stupid splash screen03:42
DasEijmcantrell: can remove (quite) splash in grubs conf03:43
jmcantrellDasEi: left shift does nothing for me03:43
jmcantrellDasEi: ah, you have to hold it. nvm03:44
DasEijmcantrell: it might be that your timeout is set very short03:44
MTughanjmcantrell: Try removing splash from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.03:44
DasEi:)^03:45
DasEijmcantrell: timeout can also bet set in /etc/default/grub03:45
DasEitouch of shift at bootup is then enough03:46
un214__rootwell that was interesting03:46
jmcantrellDasEi: what can i do at the boot menu to disable splash? i tried changing splash to nosplash03:47
un214__rootafter removing plymouth, fbcon decided to behave itself03:47
un214__rootstill no X03:47
un214__rootload X garbages the console and unwires the keyboard03:47
Drakesonis it just me, or does aptitude crash way too often recently?03:47
un214__rootThe Ctrl+Alt+Fn keys work. I'm quite convinced that if I had a usable Xterm I could still control the system.03:48
un214__roothowever, for the moment I'm really stuck03:49
DasEijmcantrell: comment the original line, save grub, run update-grub (all as superuser)03:51
DasEiDrakeson: had no problems so far (vm's)03:52
DasEiDrakeson: did you try to choose the fastest mirror  ?03:52
jmcantrellok, i've disabled splash and quiet, now when i enter the password for my crypt disks, it does nothing. no messages. anyone have any ideas?03:52
Drakesonactually now that I look at bugs.launchpad.net, it seems there are too many SIGSEGV's reported. not good :(03:53
DasEijmcantrell: where did you do this ?03:54
jmcantrellDasEi: do what?03:55
jmcantrellDasEi: i edited the grub entry directly from the grub menu then booted03:55
DasEijmcantrell: via the bootoption way, I see ,03:56
DasEijmcantrell: I just did myself, the editing of grub gave me no splash03:57
jmcantrellDasEi: yes. that worked for me as well. now i'm seeing more of what my original problem is. it just hangs after getting my password for disks in /etc/crypttab03:58
DasEijmcantrell: was this same before ?03:59
jmcantrellDasEi: yes. i just wasn't able to see anything because of the splash screen03:59
jmcantrellDasEi: i couldn't tell if it was hanging or not04:00
DasEijmcantrell: did you try another kernel ?04:00
jmcantrellDasEi: now i see that it appears to be hanging or waiting on something04:00
jmcantrellDasEi: what other kernels are there?04:00
DasEi.. and how did you edit grub then ?04:00
jmcantrellDasEi: from the grub menu, i just removed splash and quiet04:01
DasEimm04:02
DasEijmcantrell: idk what's wrong, will have to mount your fs from a live cd then, chroot and have a look04:03
jmcantrellDasEi: there appears to be some issue with mounting /dev/mapper/* after they are unlocked04:03
DasEijmcantrell: crystallball.. try it manual, did the os ran before anyway ?04:05
jmcantrellDasEi: it ran before i added the disks to /etc/crypttab for boot04:06
DasEijmcantrell: and mounttab / fstab ?04:07
jmcantrellDasEi: added to fstab. what is mounttab?04:07
jmcantrellDasEi: i can mount them manually04:09
DasEijmcantrell: mounttab was a mistake, you need the device in cryptab and the mapper / mountpoint in fstab only04:13
jmcantrellDasEi: yep. got that already04:14
jmcantrellDasEi: taking the fstab entries out allows me to boot.04:14
jmcantrellnot sure how to proceed though without using the disks as unencrypted04:17
DasEijmcantrell: what's the line in fstab ?04:17
jmcantrellDasEi: /dev/mapper/crypt_foo /home auto defaults 0 204:18
DasEijmcantrell: it's 0 0 , second is fsck, the 2 does .. I have too look up04:19
jmcantrellDasEi: i read that all non-/ disks should be 204:20
DasEijmcantrell: yes, shouldN't hang there, try with 0 , if that works, run a fsck on the (de-crypted) mapper-device04:21
DasEiand I assume there is also no other device mountd to /home .. sure I think04:22
DasEi.. and dir /home exists04:23
jmcantrellDasEi: that's correct04:23
jmcantrellDasEi: no change. still does not mount04:24
jmcantrellDasEi: is the preferred method of home encryption to let the installer create the encryption that ties in with the login password (the installer called it encrypted home)?04:27
DasEijmcantrell: either this or full crytion by alternate installer04:30
=== FFForever-Away is now known as FFForever
marcosrorizHi guys, I'll be installing Ubuntu again on my notebook. I had some troubles with other distros. Should I go with Lucid? I mean is lucid 'ready' to use?04:35
jmcantrellDasEi: what would the upgrade process look like? how would i use an encrypted home with a later version of ubuntu?04:38
CastleFoxHello.   Does anyone know how I can check what crappy video card is in this computer ?04:39
DasEijmcantrell: same, if you got a seperate /home, you're always on a safer side for that04:40
jmcantrellDasEi: so, there would be no conflict between versions?04:41
DasEijmcantrell: no, unless cryptographic tools change04:41
DasEijmcantrell: but you will then still be able to acces your files, would then have to set up a new /home, still now it's still crypt-luks04:42
jmcantrellDasEi: how is it actually implemented? is there any performance difference between this and an encrypted partition (what i'm doing now)?04:45
DasEijmcantrell: performance is same, but you can have an lvm containing several partitons with one password04:46
DasEilogical volume manager04:46
jmcantrellDasEi: yeah. i want to keep /home on it's own drive though. still possible?04:46
DasEijmcantrell: yes, set up standard, alter fstab & crypttab later04:47
jmcantrellDasEi: how do i set this up after an install?04:47
DasEijmcantrell: like this approach04:48
DasEijmcantrell: you just set the mapper in fstab to /home, that's it04:48
jmcantrellDasEi: yeah, but initially, how do i tell the installer to use my separate drive for /home?04:49
DasEijmcantrell: you won't, if you want to keep an existing crypted /home on a seperate drive, or do you mean for a fresh, including home, install ?04:50
jmcantrellDasEi: let's say, for the sake of argument, that i want to do a completely fresh install with an encrypted home. would I just install as normal and then move /home/* to an empty ext4 partition on the separate drive, then add /home to the fstab?04:52
jmcantrellDasEi: also, is it possible to setup the encrypted home from the alternate cd? i can't boot into the live cd04:54
=== dabossbv1 is now known as dabossbv
jmcantrellDasEi: to clarify, i don't want to encrypt the entire system (i may need to reboot it remotely)... just home04:55
jmcantrellat what point in the install does it ask if I want an encrypted home?04:58
DasEijmcantrell: after the partition setup05:00
jmcantrellDasEi: what's the best way to backup /home in this case?05:02
DasEijmcantrell: dd of the partition, or one of the various apps like unison, if you want incremental backups05:03
DasEijmcantrell: I'm using raid most times, to prevent data loss05:03
jmcantrellDasEi: does it matter if the luks volume is currently open? when i copy the partition?05:04
DasEijmcantrell: for dd it shouldn't be mounted (live cd) any other , fs-related thing needs it open05:05
jmcantrellDasEi: how would i get root to unlock it unattended so it can do rsync on the fs?05:06
roberj13Does 10.04 have better Intel driver to work on arrandale integrated graphics?05:11
DasEijmcantrell: the newer live cd's support crypted partitons , or can do manually by lvscan and luksopen05:11
jmcantrellDasEi: i just realized that this isn't going to work for me anyway. ssh pubkey auth :-/05:12
jmcantrellDasEi: so, it's either partition encryption that unlocks on boot or no encryption05:13
DasEijmcantrell: no, you can always boot  a live cd or put the extra drive in another machine05:13
DasEiand why would rsync not work ?05:14
DasEijust have a account on the remote host for that05:14
jmcantrellDasEi: because i'm probably not going to be logged in when it happens05:14

os2macdo you have a guest of your current OS in vbox or of any other ubuntu ver.06:55
chandru_inYes I use Karmic within VBox too06:55
rskso goto #vbox06:55
os2macok check your hardware settings for Karmic against your settings for Lucid. and see if they match... if they don't then make them and see if that corrects the problem06:56
chandru_inrsk: I thought it might be a Lucid specific issue as Karmic installas and works just fine on the same VBox installation06:56
chandru_inos2mac: They are identical in every aspect06:56
os2macalso be aware that I recently had to revert to 3.1.2 on Vbox because of USB issues.06:56
chandru_inI don't think USB issues would hurt this one coz I'm installing from the downlaoded ISO image06:57

os2macwell if you can run it on the native machine and it works just fine and doesn't work in Vbox.... see where I am going with this?06:59

os2macthat's my issue.. he's asked me like 5 completely non sequitar questions in about 5 minutes.. I think he's trolling.07:16
DasEios2mac: seems little wierd, true, but first you can tell a user and else, but think before acting, can use "!ops" to call them, but also can put people on ignore, which is often  better if one doubts if the other end is more helpless or more trolling07:26

BUGabundo_remoteahh09:30
BUGabundo_remote!koffice09:30
bbordwellIt might be data first and then libs i am not sure09:30
bbordwellbut it will not let you install them in the wrong order09:30
bullgardbbordwell: (apport-gtk is interfering. I need some time to deal with that first.)09:32

kslendid last nights update break compiz for others out there?09:36
bbordwellbut its not marked as affecting anyone else :(09:36
bbordwellI could not tell you it does not work with nouveau :(09:37
bbordwellcompiz was updated yesterday thought right?09:37
bbordwellso its very possible09:37
kslenbelieve me saw something about compiz mentioned along with xorg core09:38
kslenperhaps it was xorg core video or something along those lines09:38
kslenwas about half asleep when i applied the update so i don't remember much unfortunately09:39
bbordwellwhat version of compiz is reported in your synaptic?09:39
kslencompiz-core (2 1:0.8.3)09:41
bbordwellnvm I can not find the last version anywhere09:41
bbordwelli was going to suggest you revert to the last version but its not on launchpad anymroe09:42
kslenhum, that's apt-cache btw09:42

victor_hi, after i upgraded 9.10 to lucid beta1 i noticed a performance downgrade with my graphics... its noticeable with compiz and e.g. my matrix screensaver... any ideas how to tune that back?09:53
bbordwellwhat type of video card?09:53
victor_i tried to install the radeon driver on my laptop, but that returned an error09:53
bbordwellYou get the plymouth boot splash right?09:54
bullgardbbordwell: I used Gdebi to download all packages. I do not know where Gdebi placed them. How can I find these 3 packages?09:55

bbordwellbullgard, gdebi does not download things?09:56
bbordwellwhen you click on a link it will ask to open with gdebi or save09:57
victor_is that something temporary?09:57
bbordwellyou should click save09:57
bbordwellvictor, Well things should improve over time09:57
bbordwellbut if you mean by release time no09:58
bullgardbbordwell: I do not understand you well. gdebi told me that it downloaded the 3 packages all right. Do you challenge this?09:58
bbordwellGdebi installs packages09:58
bbordwellif you mean it installed all the packages then kexi should be in your office menu09:59

zzz__Just tried to apply the latest updates and was told I had to do a distribution upgrade. Did that an checked for and applied all additional updates, and now I can't access the NAS drives again, and have to manually kill "gvfsd-smb-browse" to get cpu usage under 100%. Checked and found all programs that had to be manually installed still installed. What now?11:30
yofelzzz__: partial upgrades are generally a bad idea unless you know what you're doing11:31
yofelJohnFlux: you'll find the kernel team in #ubuntu-kernel11:31
yofelJohnFlux: also the main ubuntu kernels do have staging enabled (I use one of them)11:32
yofelJohnFlux: i think there was an issue with the mainline builds being built without staging drivers though11:32
JohnFluxyofel: ah11:32
zzz__yofel: That's why I presented the problem, and asked the question here, in hopes of finding someone who "knows what they are doing."11:46
Dr_WillisIve had issues with samba and gvfs (and other issues with gvfs) for ages. :()11:47
yofelI know, sry if I sounded rude, not intended. But we do get a few reports from time to time about broken stuff by people that don't know what they are doing11:47
yofelI can't help you though as I use KDE11:47

Dr_WillisIve been having lots of 'x not starting properly' or gnome, or kde, on and off for the last  few weeks :()11:51
Dr_Willis'Ubuntu is using low graphics mode....' but then if i alt-ctrl-F8 theres a 2nd X going with the proper res. :) go figure11:51
Dr_WillisI think that was KDM and GDM both starting up11:51

Dr_Willisbut i cant get the 'problem' to repeate. it does it sometimes.. but not others..11:54
zzz__yofel: No apologies necessary, I learned something, "avoid partial upgrades", but I've been trying to apply all upgrades as they become available in hopes that the firefox bug might be fixed, and just assumed that what had been previously fixed would remain so. Obviously not a rational assumption. Now that I've applied the partial upgrade should I continue to apply any new updates, but avoid...11:54
zzz__...any that say I need to apply a partial upgrade?11:54
Dr_Willisbut i have been updateing every day. So it may be getting fixed/reappearing every other day11:54

yofelbullgard: see the forum thread I posted, there's a short and a long explenation there12:06

mvoI heard about problems, but nothing specific so I'm curious to learn what exactly the problems are12:09
Dr_WillisHmm.. i wonder if this  http://www.ubuntu-manual.org   will be included on the cd.12:11
bullgardyofel: I am sorry to say that the article you referenced is unnecessarily long-winded and not concise.12:17
yofelmight be, but debian packaging internals aren't very user friendly if you want to understand them12:18
yofelin most cases it's that some packages of a source package are built and some aren't yet. If you then run a partial upgrade u-m *might* choose to remove the packages instead of waiting for the other packages to be built and keeping the older versions so long12:20
bullgardYes. Thank you.12:21
yofelthis is mostly caused by you using a non-i386 architecture and you're waiting for an architecture independent package (<pkg>-common usually) which are built on i386 build machines12:22
yofelthe build machines have their own architecture dependent build queues which can be hours apart12:23
yofelfor those that are curious, the build machine status is available here: https://launchpad.net/builders/12:24

chandru_inHow do I make a system wide theme change in 10.04?12:29
Dr_Willischandru_in:  not very easially.. from what i explored over trhe last few days12:29
Dr_WillisTheres settings in several files. and those would only affect newly created users.12:29
bullgardWhy does Lucid install by default Applications > Sound & Video > PulseAudio Device Chooser although PulseAudio developers classify this program as "deprecated"?12:30
PiciEr? Whats wrong with System>Preferences>Appearance?12:30
Dr_Willisremove the    --   light-themes - Light Themes12:30
Dr_Willisis one way to get rid of most of it12:30
chandru_inIf I remove them what will it default to?12:30
Dr_Willischandru_in:  it defaulted to some blueish one here. Plastik i think. tryit and see12:30
chandru_inWill it go back to the nice old human?12:30
chandru_inAh clearlooks that doesn't look any better :D12:31
Dr_WillisI found it better then Human12:31
Dr_Willisof course none of ths will affect users that have their theme settings allready done.12:31
chandru_inTo everyone his own :)12:31
Dr_Willisand it May or may not fix the 'left side' buttons either12:31
chandru_inThat one can be fixed with gconf-editor12:32
Dr_WillisI did see a system file with the left side/right side settings12:32
Dr_Willischandru_in:  but what if you want to set it for all newly made users.. thas sort of what you were asking.. or did i miss the point?12:32
Dr_Willissystem wide - all new users default settings. :) is my definition12:32
chandru_inThat's yet to be looked into12:33
chandru_inBut I'm sure it will be a single file change in global gconf settings unlike theming12:33
Dr_Willisi saw some config file si could change to set diffrent gnome defaults.12:33
Dr_Willisa newly made user, running gnome for the first time . gets several files from the system as their initial setup.12:33
Dr_Willisother progrms also get their initial settings from system files12:34
Dr_WillisI never was able to figure out how to remove the Ambiance Gnome-terminal default profile12:34
chandru_indunno if it's too late but it would be nice if the old human theme would be retained as an option (even if not the default one)12:35
Dr_Willis chandru_in  not sure that will happin.  Its all still up in the air last i looked.12:35
Dr_Willisan issue with the 'left side' buttons is that the side they are on/settings is not really Theme specific. but a user/system setting.12:36
Dr_Willis/usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc12:36
Dr_Willis may be some settings in there. :)12:36
chandru_in:)12:36
lodderWhen I'm using lucid and freenx server I'm losing the titlebar of the window, and why when I do apt-get dist-upgrade wants to remove nautilus?12:36

Dr_Willishas some things ya can tweak also12:37
jason__I lost my empathy icon on the top tool bar12:37
Dr_Willisof course at this tiem. any tweakc/changes you do, could be overdone in the next update12:37
chandru_inThe worst part is ambiance not even compatible with the older layout of window buttons12:37
Dr_Willischandru_in:  BINGO! :)12:37
Dr_Willisits not even compatiable with itself in some ways. WIndows with just a close button for example.12:38
Dr_Willisor ones missing one or more buttons.12:38
Dr_WillisI imagine the blog-o-spher will be hot with the topic soon.12:39
yofelchandru_in: there's a ppa with fixed pngs for the old button order on the right https://edge.launchpad.net/~stownsend42/+archive/light-themes12:39
Dr_Willisheh. Unofficial themes for fixing the official themes12:40
yofelyep12:40
yofelthey should make the button order theme dependent12:40
Dr_WillisBut eve those can have issues with windows with not all the buttons12:40
Dr_Willistheres lots of theme stuff they need to fix in gnome.. but i doubt if it ever happens12:40
chandru_inI personally like the nimbus theme from open-solaris12:40
Dr_Williswith Gnome-3 in the works. no one will worry about it12:40
selimakyi have a problem, i upgrade my Karmic to Lucid, and my firefox fonts are different than previous one. How do i fix my fonts?12:41
Dr_Willis#1 - try a new user.12:42
Dr_Willisive noticed even on a new install the FF fonts are 'slightly' diffrent from the ones the gnome filemanager is using12:43
Dr_Willisthey are slightly bolder it seems12:44
chandru_inalso is there a way to change the widget theme used in the login screen?12:45
Dr_Willischandru_in:  not very easially - thers some gdm2 config tools that allow some changeing12:50
chandru_in:(12:50
Dr_Willisbut not in the default repos - that ive noticed12:50
chandru_inSeems like Ubuntu has kinda crippled configurability of the login screen from 9.1012:50
Dr_WillisActually its not ubuntu.. its GNOME12:51
Dr_Willisif i recall. the gnome devs did it.12:51
Dr_Willissame with a lot of other little changes to gnome - People blame Ubuntu :)12:51
PiciGnome has been making things 'simpler' for years now.12:52
Dr_WillisNotice the icons vanish from the System menu? or from some other locations? :) gnome devs did that also. I recall12:52
chandru_inDr_Willis: They made it configurable yes12:52
chandru_inPici: It is ok to simplify things as long as you don't make certain things impossible12:53
Dr_Willisthe new gdm is not compatiavble with the old gdm and in fact its missing other more imporntant features as well. You Can use the old gdm if you wanted to12:53
Dr_WillisThemes in gdm2 vs the old - is one of the more minor problems from what ive heard12:53
Dr_WillisI forget what the other features were. they mainly affect network/business/large scale deployment12:54
BUGabundo_remotewhat do you guys use to monitor and restart dead services?13:02

kklimondayofel: you can use pull-debian-source to download debian source packages - it's a part of ubuntu-dev-tools afair14:25
xsachabullgard, yeah all the ones mentioned need to be installed14:25
kklimondayofel: I'm not sure if you can specify pocket with apt-get source14:26
mvoyofel: you can give it exact version numbers, it will support /unstable /karmic etc only if it has a matching deb (not only a deb-src) line in sources.list14:26
yofelmvo: I have deb and deb-src in there, and apt-get source coreutils=7.4-2 fetches 7.4-2ubuntu2 too14:27
bullgardBUGabundo_remote: I installed the DEB program package 'iotop' and started it. The hard disk keeps spinning though. Why did you suggest this command?14:29
yofelkklimonda: pull-debian-source works, thx14:29
macobullgard: because iotop tells you why its spinning14:30
xsachawakeup from idle: 77 per second (30 from wireless card)... estimate usage: 18.0 Watts14:30

jmcantrellmaco: no, just a ~/private or something similar14:33
mvoyofel: oh14:33
macojmcantrell: you could, as root, place a .ssh/authorized_keys into the space where ~ will be mounted with ecryptfs14:33
bullgardxsacha: There is a LED incdicating that my disk is spinning.14:33
mvoyofel: hm, maybe its buggy then, I was sure this is fixed in lucid though :/14:33
xsachawell apparently none of the programs listed in iotop are using your disk14:33
macojmcantrell: oh... well then yeah sure it should work, as long as your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys isnt inside ~/Private14:33
kklimondajmcantrell: it requires user's password to unlock so no14:33
yofelmvo: it was even more broken in lucid before, it now works mostly except for a few glitches like this one14:33
macojmcantrell: and then you just manually mount the ~/Private14:33
macojmcantrell: but if you put ~/.ssh/authorized_keys inside ~/Private and symlink it, then you wont be able to login14:34
mvoyofel: aha, ok. let me try if I can reproduce it14:34
mvoyofel: maybe a corner case that is not covered by the fix (the code is suprisingly complicated)14:34

Dr_WillisIs there a UbuntuOne client/tool for Kubuntu?   I just now thought of that15:33

Dr_Williswell i ran the ubuntuone-preferences in a terminal on kubuntu :) dident see no icons anywhere..15:34
Dr_Williswow. UbuntuOne Muzak store is working.. well I think it is. I can see the tunes.. but i cant find any 'free (of cost)' ones to download to try out15:37

Dr_WillisI dont plan on buying any music ever again.. for the rest of my life. :) so its a moot point to me really15:40
JEEBsvI mostly buy doujin music sold straight by the makers :315:40
Dr_WillisHmm.. clicked add to cart.. but cant find a way to delete it from the cart now.15:40
JEEBsv12eur for a CD isn't bad when you consider that the money goes straight to the people making the music15:41
Dr_Willislast music i bought I think was a Weird AL CD/DVD he released a few years back.15:41

BGL-[e]10.04 went in easier than 9.10 on my netbook, been fairly pleased with it.. hope the full release keeps it up15:43
quant hi all, I have 10.04 b1, ati card, adobe flash plugin (proprietary) - the problem is that pages with flash are extremely slow, to the point of making system unusable - any ideas, pls? btw, athlon x2 and 2 GB RAM15:43
Dr_WillisIve had issues when i mixxed in UNR and the Normal Ubuntu-desktop  on the same netbook.15:43
Dr_WillisKDE/Kubuntu  and the KDE netbook interface work a little better together.15:43
BGL-[e]9.10 liked to thrash on my ssd with hsm violations15:44
BGL-[e]i ran 9.10 remix for a little while, not too bad15:44
Dr_Willis9.10 had MAJOR issues with my USB drives constantly resetting.. not seen that yet in 10.04 either15:44
BGL-[e]wanted the full ui back though eventually15:44
mfraz74i miss the message that used to appear when i hovered over the battery icon to say how much time i had left15:44
Dr_WillisMy netbookis basically a Video Player :)15:44
mfraz74now i have to click on the icon15:44
BGL-[e]i use mine for hulu a lot15:45
quantanyone, please? :)15:45
yofelthe only issues I have here on my eeePC always tries to swap out the entire ram when waking up from suspend... any idea why it does that?15:45
BGL-[e]the battery icon in 10.04 is being flaky here too15:45
Dr_WillisIve not had Hulu work very well for me. (even under windows)  HuluDesktop Player also had major issues.15:45
yofel*ubuntu always tries...15:45
BGL-[e]never use suspend, not sure15:45
Dr_WillisId pause to go get a snack.. come back.. and tghe player would be crashed.15:45
BGL-[e]i tried the player once back a while ago, didn't work out to well15:46
BGL-[e]ran worse than in ff15:46
mfraz74i don't think it has been flaky, it's just that i have to click on the icon now where i used to just hover over it15:47
BGL-[e]quant: try a diff browser15:47
BGL-[e]like chrome maybe15:47
Dr_WillisFirefox/flash really annoys me - beause i use 2 moniotors. i want the video full screen on Monitor #2. but noooooo flash unfullscreens if i click on the other monitor/desktop15:47
BGL-[e]mine is not reading the battery correctly, and sometimes just disappears15:47
BGL-[e]but the battery is probly about half a dud anyways15:47
Dr_Williswifes laptop battery is totally dead.15:48
bullgardyofel: How can I terminate (=stop running) the command '~$ sudo iotop'? Pressing the 'q' key does not quit it.15:48
BGL-[e]dr: oh yeah that is annoying15:48
BGL-[e]i can never get anything to run ontop of it either, when its in full screen15:48
yofelbullgard: it does here, try strg+c maybe15:48
Dr_WillisHulu advertisements are like always at the WRONG/Worse time also. :)15:49
Dr_Willisand they always seemed tobe like for the same 3 things..15:49
bullgardyofel: Ctrl+C does not stop ist either.15:49
Dr_Willisbut at least they did make a Player that works in linux15:49
BGL-[e]yeah nothing like watching the same advertisement all night15:49
BGL-[e]i should try the player again15:49
Dr_WillisBGL-[e]:  great when they totally miss the target audiance also. :)15:49
yofelbullgard: 'sudo killall iotop' ?15:49

skyjumperanyone seeing weird behavior from gnome-screensaver?15:52
mfraz74i've managed to play a sample of a song, haven't bought anything yet15:52
mfraz74skyjumper: like it not showing a screensaver?15:52
Dr_Willisi cant even find a free sample yet. :)15:52
bullgardyofel: I noticed that network-manager requested an input. As long as I did not satisfy this input, I could not stop iotop. When I satisfied network-manager, I could terminate iotop by pressing 'q'. Is this normal Ubuntu behaviour?15:52
skyjumpermfraz74: kind of the opposite... it shows them while mplayer is playing full screen, and when i press a key, it disappears and reappears15:53
skyjumperalso is stuck on "random" when i have "blank screen" selected15:53
mfraz74i just seem to get a black screen and no screen saver. works if i click on the try icon15:53
yofelbullgard: no idea, I don't remeber it being like that when I used gnome and it's not like that in KDE, but I'm not sure how gnome works these days15:53
bullgardyofel: Thank you for commenting.15:54
BoondoKLifebullgard: I am using Gnome. what are you trying to do and ill tell ya what my system does15:54
BoondoKLifebullgard: PM me if you want15:55
BGL-[e]10.04 bout saved me from buying another netbook cuz 9.10 was giving me such problems & windows was just not an option15:57
bullgardBoondoKLife:  As long as network-manager requests a personal input of mine, I cannot terminate iotop using 'q' or Ctrl+C. I wonder if this is normal Ubuntu behaviour.15:57
Dr_Willisive heard theres a few issues with some of the newest netbooks out. but I cant recall the specific brands15:58
BoondoKLifebullgard: Was the nm request related to anything you had running in the terminal, maybe in the background?15:58
bullgardBoondoKLife: No. nm requested a key in order to bring up Wireless LAN.15:59
bullgardthei input of a key15:59
BoondoKLifebullgard: like a wifi key? or the unlock keyring prompt16:00
bullgardBoondoKLife: I do not remember exactly. I believe the input of my WLAN key.16:00
BoondoKLifebullgard: just tried to connect to a random AP and it asked for the key, I had iotop running before had and was able to 'q' it, tried to start it while it was open and then the 'q' still worked. So def not a gnome issue.16:01
BoondoKLifebullgard: I have had focus issues sometimes but that is when using gnome-do to launch chats and calls.16:02
BoondoKLifebullgard: It would open a window and then I still had to click it to give it focus, maybe the command just did not have proper focus, i dunno.16:02
bullgardBoondoKLife: Thank you for your help.16:04
BoondoKLifebullgard: no worries16:05
Nagato-Painhello)16:08
cousteauI know this sounds like a noob comment, but... I can't install any game!!16:09
bullgardBoondoKLife: Does your Lucid show in the upper panel an applet "cdrom (not mounted)" and another applet "floppy0 (not mounted)"? (My computer did not show them in Karmic.)16:10
cousteauthere seems to be a problem with several packages in repositories, such as: torcs-data, supertux-data, extremetuxracer-data, frozenbubble-data...16:10
BoondoKLifebullgard: On the main gnome bar? Mine does not but is that a particular applet that I need to have loaded.16:11
cousteau(frozen-bubble-data, sorry, with an extra hyphen)16:11
cousteauall those packages alert about a wrong hash sum16:12
bullgardBoondoKLife: Yes, on the upper panel (which you may call a "main GNOME bar".16:12
bullgardBoondoKLife: I did not load any particular applet. They simply show up now.16:13
cousteaumaybe I can just skip the hash check... I'm on a wifi, I'll try to install them at home, maybe it's a download problem16:13

Hans_Henrikthe "connection manager" thing on top right in my corner is gone, any idea how i can get it back?16:48
Hans_Henrik(or network manager or what the app name was)16:49
bullgardHans_Henrik: You could deinstall it completely and re-install it.16:50
Hans_Henrikbullgard: know the package-name?16:51
ZykoticK9Hans_Henrik, my networking icon in panel is also missing (didn't even notice until you asked about it) - i know it had been there, and I didn't remove to16:51
hechuHans_Henrik, I guess you can add a "nm-applet --sm-disable" in your startup session. or check if it is starup automatically when you login your gnome.16:51
Hans_HenrikZykoticK9: oh well good its just not me (i really couldn't remember that i had removed it :p)16:52
hechuHans_Henrik, I guess the package's name is related with "nm-applet", means "Network Manager" applet.16:53
Hans_Henrikhechu: the process nm-applet was running in the background and i hadn't manually started it, so im quite sure it starts automatically when i log in16:54
ZykoticK9Hans_Henrik, sorry my bad, it is there - just moved over to the left, just needed to open my eyes a little wider ;)16:55
hechuHans_Henrik, I manually "killall nm-applet" and the network icon disappeared immediatelly. and I run it in console manually, it appear again.16:58
Hans_HenrikZykoticK9: well it isn't left or right for me, btw the command to start it is "nm-applet"?16:58
hechuHans_Henrik, the icon appears in "Inform Zone", did you added "Inform Zone" on your gnome-panel?16:58
hechuHans_Henrik, the command is "nm-applet --sm-disable".16:59
Hans_Henrikhechu: not sure, but how do i add it?17:05
=== Nagato-Pain is now known as Aidar-Nagato
hechuHans_Henrik, right click a space area on your gnome-panel, it pops up a menu, and choose "add to panel", and a dialog will shows, list many component that you can add to your gnome-panel.17:07
hechuHans_Henrik, sorry my poor English, hope you can understand.17:08
Hans_Henrikhechu: @english not a problem @add-to-panel, but "inform zone" or "nm-applet" or "nm*" or "network*" is not among the options :p17:09
hechuHans_Henrik, then choose "Inform Zone"(I am not so sure its English name), add it.17:09
ZykoticK9Hans_Henrik, i think hechu is referring to "indicator applet"17:10
BGL-[e]well that didn't last long17:10

diconico07Hi, I'm trying to install the nvidia video drivers on lucid, but that don't work (he can't load the module), is there a way to install these drivers (I install them via the .run file, cause I don't have 3d support with the depository's version) and having 3d support ?17:22
MTecknologyAny of you experience any issues with internet dying or getting extremely slow in 10.04?17:22
Picidiconico07: I believe  that the release notes mention this, you may want to take a look at them.17:23
diconico07the release notes of lucid beta ?17:24
Zykotic-K9diconico07, if you used the nvidia installer, to quote someone who knows a lot more about nvidia then I do "all bets are off" - i don't think the nvidia installer is 10.04 compatible, and using the installer "might" have forever changed your system.  Best of luck though.17:24
Hans_HenrikMTecknology: ipv6 problem maybe?17:24

lucian_why is the address bar in nautilus stuck in icon mode and is there a way i can change it back to typing the address manually?19:19
ZykoticK9lucian_, ctrl+L or just type a /19:20
lucian_ZykoticK9: thanks19:20
ZykoticK9lucian_, it was a design decision - there is also a gconf key to permanently switch if you like19:20
lucian_it appears that i have to ctrl+l everytime i open nautilus.. thats not good19:24
lucian_what happened to the option to keep it like that?19:25
ZykoticK9lucian_, as i said "design decision" this should permanently have location bar gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry19:28
lucian_well the option is still in the configuration editor:apps -- nautilus -- preferences -- always_use_location_entry checked19:28
lucian_ok got it19:29
jaafarHi everyone.  I see that there's no xorg.conf anymore by default... or has it moved?  I need to disable drm (or possibly switch to safe vga driver) for debugging.  Any suggestions?19:34
yofeljaafar: create one yourself, there isn't one by default anymore but X uses autoconfig19:36
jaafaryofel: thanks.  I want to ensure that whatever I create is identical in function to "no xorg.conf present", though.  Not sure what that would be, exactly19:37
jaafarFor example, I gather there is some autodetection being done (I same to be using the radeon driver)19:38
jaafars/same/seem/19:38
MTecknologyany ideas what's causing this? http://dpaste.com/175267/19:40
MTecknologyIt doesn't really seem to harm anything, just odd that aptitude is throwing out errors sometimes19:40
Damasceneany one want to get a message that will break evolution?19:45
Steilno thanks19:46
Damascenecome on, we are here for testing I think19:46
MTecknologyDamascene: ya, send it to me19:47
MTecknologyI'd like to see it19:47
Damasceneok I'll try to reopen it19:47
jaafarIs there an easy way to create an xorg.conf that simply says "do everything you were doing by default, but don't use DRM?" or "use vga, not radeon"?19:48
Damascenewell it took a long time but now it's working. though it's just 1.5m19:48

odyiAnyone having issues with firefox on lucid beta?  It won't start after the initial startup when the profile is created.19:59
ChogyDanodyi: I heard about that20:00
ChogyDanodyi: I think you have to remove compatibility.ini in your profile folder20:00
monkey_dustodyi, i have to re-install my FF flash plugin, each time i first launch the app20:01
ZykoticK9odyi, try starting it from command line and see if it give some output that could tell you something (i had a problem with mono segfaulting in Firefox)20:01
jaafarZykoticK9: the problem is not to create an xorg.conf, but to create one that mimics exactly the configuration X comes up with on its own20:01
ZykoticK9jaafar, if you using the X -configure it should be very close (if not identical)20:02
jaafarIn fact I just figured out how to do that, if anyone else is interested: get the grub menu (hold down shift), boot in recovery mode, get a shell prompt, run Xorg -configure20:02
jaafarZykoticK9: thanks :)20:02
odyiChogyDan: Was correct.  Deleting compatibility.ini fixes it.20:05

frybyeI am running 10.4 in v-box and is running only in a reduced video mode with poor screen resoloution - the 10.4 has not identified the "VirtualBox graphics card" apparently.. how do I fix this?20:16
frybyeI guess I need to edit /etc/x11/xorg.conf manually - not sure how to do this - what command to use what editor and how to get root status if necessary etc.. forgoten how to do all this stuff.. any tips please?20:17
ZykoticK9frybye, is your host system Ubuntu as well?  I switched from Oracle's PUEL version to Ubuntu's OSE VBox and now have working Guest Additions with 10.04 (10.04 is the Host as well)20:18
frybyeI guess gedit  /etc/x11/xorg.conf would normally work but needs to be as root or?? no Host is win7 64bit20:19
ZykoticK9frybye, you might want to ask in #vbox20:19
=== FFForever-Away is now known as FFForever
frybyeBut this is just a general linux quesiton .. how to run gedit with a file in root mode...?20:20
Saviqguys, trying to compile a custom kernel from ubuntu-lucid.git, but in line 150 of the kernelconfig script http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=blob;f=debian/scripts/misc/kernelconfig;h=71c0f5eedc6c42cd824bf3dfdd0e69ff9be900d1;hb=8d2b0bf6db1b0cfad645cac685ee45c00e803d69#l150 it drops out with /usr/src/linux-lucid//scripts/misc/../config-check: No such file or directory20:20
ZykoticK9frybye, first i don't think xorg.conf is going to be there.  To run gedit as root "gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" should work20:20
OerHeksfrybye, you need guest-additions to run full screen, see help menu virtual box20:21
Saviqthere's a 'debian' missing there between linux-lucid/ and /scripts20:21
frybyeOerHeks: have done all that the vbox help file instructs - has not taken effect...20:22
frybyein the vbox help it talks about man. editing xorg.conf but I just cant remember how to do that cos I have not used linux for ages...20:22
redfrybye: sudo gedit filename20:23
frybyethe installatoin from the guest-additions seemed to work in the terminal after following the instr. in the vbox help - but they did not take effect...20:23
reddid you restart vbox after installing guest additions?20:23
frybyered: I thought for system files there was some special command not just sudo?20:24
frybyered: sure I did - still nothing of them works.. and I get a fault report on starting saying that the grafic system has not been identified and the input system also not identified..20:24
rednope20:25
frybyelike gksedit or something like that? eh...?20:25
frybyeok20:25
redgksudo is for graphical programs20:25
redlike nvidia-settings etc20:25
frybyewill have a look....20:25
rednot when you need to edit a file with root priviledges20:25
frybyeok no nividia relevant here in the vbox I guess..20:25
ActionParsnipYo yo yo20:25
ZykoticK9red, gksu is used for any graphics programs to run as root so my suggestion for frybye "gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf20:26
frybyebut basically I guess you are right - the problem is that the guest-additions are not working total.. eh?20:26
ZykoticK9frybye, 10.04 isn't totally supported by the PUEL version of Guest Additions (but i was able to get graphics working them)20:27
frybyeeh - this is getting a bit late in the evning here in c.europe - I will come back to this tomorrow - thanks for your input so far.. catch you folks next time... bye for now...20:27
frybyeZykotik - i see.. that says a lot20:28
frybyewill get back to this tomorrow when fitter.. (I am recovering from a bad m-bike accident and not to much stamina just now - see you tomorrow...)20:28
MTecknologyI wish I could figure out if the extremely slow and locking up network was because of my laptop, kernel, university - or what combination is involved...20:28
ryeok, I believe I will need to try to reproduce my boot failures with random partitions not mounted in a vm, can't really think of what could be the problem - waiting for /home, /var, /opt ... even after manual mountall my ecryptfs fails with "cannot access counter" or something like this :(20:29
ActionParsnipMtecknology: when it locks run: dmesg | tail -n 2020:30
redZykoticK9: isn't the difference between which preferences / users file the program will use20:30
redbut when you specify the file manually, theres no actualy difference, except for what preferences the program loads up20:30
ZykoticK9red, i'm not sure i understand your question/statement - but sudo or gksudo run whatever program follows as the root user20:31
redZykoticK9: yeah, but if I shoot up program gksudo and the same with sudo, the preference file which the program will be using is different (other will use current user prefs, other root users)20:32
redor then I've gotten it wrong20:33
korogiannosHi all.  Are there advantages installing fresh, from an end-user (not tester/bug-finder) perspective? or can I (as) safely upgrade and have the same system?20:33
redcause I never almost use gksu unless using sudo isn't working with the particular app20:33
guntbertred: if you want to call a graphical app (like gedit,...) use gksudo - not sudo20:33
ZykoticK9red, don't use sudo with graphical programs!  can cause major problems!20:33
redi always use just sudo for gediting files and never had any problems :)20:33
ryelibvirt/qemu is now fixed20:33
guntbert!gksudo | red20:33
ubottured: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)20:33
ZykoticK9red, and you can use gksu instead of gksudo - so it's no extra typing ;)20:34
guntbertred: and please don't recommend to "just use sudo" with graphical apps20:34
red"gksudo firefoxit uses root's Firefox configuration file. | sudo firefox it runs with root privileges but uses the user's configuration file (in this case, you can see the homepage and theme are different)."20:35
redthats what I remembered, I've read that article before20:35
redbut fair enough, won't recommend it to anyone :)20:35
guntbertred: both is dangerous (with firefox)20:35
guntbertred: ok :)20:35
rednever had to run firefox/chrome as root tho20:36
reddunno why you would need to run fox as root? file associations? seemed to me for chrome they stick just fine when ran regularly20:36
ActionParsnipRed: sudo doesn't setup the x environment right and can garbage ownerships of files which may result in a nonbooting system or some users not being able to logon20:36
redI only use Firefox for youtube/flash games (cause for some reason most flash apps have nearly 2x more fps with firefox)20:37
ActionParsnipRed: you can techically use gksu for both ;)20:37

robertzaccourIntuitiveNipple, i don't know what you mean by less filename21:15
robertzaccourwhat file name is it?21:15
IntuitiveNipplerobertzaccour: "less" is a command to view text files and scroll around within them. "less <filename>" means replace <filename> with the name of one of the log files you wish to view, e.g. "less ~/.xsession-errors"21:18
robertzaccourit just did it again21:19

redKB1JWQ: they?21:58
KB1JWQWelcome to #ubuntu+1, red. I see your post now.  That's decidedly strange.21:59
dupondje:) well, I have a server that doing work as vpn server, now I want to forward 1 port from the public IP to one port of one of the clients in the vpn network, but I can't get it to work21:59
KB1JWQWelcome to #ubuntu+1, dupondje. I've done this historically with netcat or ssh.21:59

KB1JWQWelcome to #ubuntu+1, kaddi.  It's nice.22:07
ryedupondje, you will need DNAT iptables rule in PREROUTING table for nat, search for port forwarding on the  internets22:11
dupondjerye: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 85.17.239.130 --dport 5900 -j DNAT --to 192.168.3.104:590022:13
dupondjepacket gets onto 192.168.3.104, but nothing seems to return22:13
ryedupondje, and FORWARD rules in filter table for NEW connections?22:14
dupondjeiptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 -d 192.168.3.104 --dport 5900 -j ACCEPT22:15
ryedupondje, try running tcpdump on the router to see if the packet is dispatched to 192.168.3.104m or better yet, on the client itself22:17
BUGabundobRoas22:17
ryedupondje, also, check the default route on 3.104 - it might send packets via not the same path as they came in22:17
BUGabundoI'm truly disappointed... installed Lucid on a recently new Desktop PC, running on a 64GB SSD, with Win7 and VirtualBox. install time inside the VM: 2-3min. boottime: 2-3 sec till gdm.  after installing guest additions X would not start :(22:19
dupondjerye: the default route is prolly not the vpn server, as it makes connection with the internet on its own ...22:19
ryedupondje, that's why packets from the clients are not going to your vpn server, they go to the internet via another route22:20
dupondjerye: is there any way to change that ? as for example ping works on the vpn server itself22:21
Jaymacmy filesystem has suddenly changed itself to read only22:21
ryedupondje, the packets that are forwarded from the vpn server are carrying the remote host IP, i.e. the ip is _not_ changed to the router one. I believe my knowledge of route management ends here. I believe that the router need to NAT in both directions but that's definitely something that I don't know how to do and whether that's possible at all22:22

tamranmM94: none of the "real" 3d stuff works at all, but in the software layer it works OK23:00
tamranmM94: did it give you a kernel panic? what does dmesg say?  Can you do ctrl-alt-F1 to get to a console?23:00
mM94tamran, I didn't try that.  I'd have to install it back on and see if that works23:01
tamranoh23:01
tamranwell, video going black doesn't sound good ... what machine you running? a laptop?23:02
mM94tamran,  yep. toshiba satellite a105-s101423:02
tamranahhh, I'm on an HP DV513023:02
tamranvery similar machines23:02
tamranmM94: did you set up the bios to use some shared memory with the video card?23:03
mM94tamran, do you have kms enabled?23:03
tamranyeah, kms is enabled here23:03
abe3khello, I've installed today's latest updates on my eeepc, did a couple of restarts, then the display dimmed and I tried to wake the machine up but it didn't so I tried restarting the eeepc but it failed to boot as I think it is caused by a damaged MBR23:03
tamranthe fancy flicker free boot even works23:03
mM94tamran, yeah everything looked great for me as far as booting. just after login it goes bad23:04
tamranmM94: dang23:04
tamranmM94: so, yeah, are you using shared memory with cpu and gpu?23:04
tamranmM94: I can't remember that mode again23:05
mM94tamran, i believe so i can check23:05
abe3kthe harddisk led is lit up all the time23:05
abe3knot blinking, but seems as if it is stuck23:05
tamranmM94: I have mine turned off.  So, I have 128mb of pure vid memory and nothing from the main cpu memory.23:05
tamranmM94: it's just a hunch here though23:05
mM94tamran, okay. bios shows no options for shared memory that I see23:06
abe3kso ? anyone interested in this ?23:07
tamranmM94: ok, maybe it's only on my laptop23:07
tamranmM94: the hunch I had was that it was a memory problem23:07
mM94tamran, do you know if the daily build for today might have the new kernel?23:07
tamranmM94: and this is not an upgrade right? just a straight install?23:07
tamranmM94: I don't know about the kernel ...23:08
tamranmM94: a different kernel could change things23:08
mM94tamran, right. straight install. had to use the alternate disk because the live cd would not work23:08
tamranmM94: livecd didn't work for wireless net?23:08
abe3kI think this is a major issue23:09
tamranmM94: does the 9.10 livecd work for you?23:09
mM94tamran, the live cd would go to the option of installing or trying ubuntu, but any option i choose makes the screen go crazy23:09
mM94tamran, yep jaunty and karmic live cd's work23:09
tamranmM94: you "may" want to try an upgrade?23:10
MikeChelen1is there any way to shut down empathy and gwibber?23:10
tamranmM94: that's how I got this machine up and running, from 9.10 lived, did a "fresh" 9.10 install and then just upgraded (I didn't want to download and burn another cd)23:10
tamranmM94: and I'm using Kubuntu, not ubuntu23:10
tamranmM94: something is definitely off with vid drivers if 9.10 is working ...23:11

tamranabe3k: you may need to do a reinstall of grub?23:13
mM94tamran, oh i didn't mention. first time was a fresh install. second time i did a karmic upgrade to lucid. Now i could run lucid on the karmic kernel but not the default for lucid23:13
abe3ktamran, the eeepc is not detecting the HDD23:13

tamranI think KB1JWQ is correct, you may have a bad drive23:14
abe3ktamran, yeap Just found that out, I think its stuck somehow23:14
tamranmM94: the upgrade actually upgrades the kernel doesn't it?23:15
