rippsHmmm.... I'm considering upgrading to Maverick already. I'm getting antsy not having anything to upgrade and debug06:44
nikolamHM, I was thinking.. Could kernel be xen-enabled and with realtime options, at the same time?07:11
LLStarksstupid question. does openoffice need to be huge? could its functionality be replicated at 20MB or less?08:00
SensivaLLStarks you may remove unneeded packages of openoffice08:05
LLStarksyeah08:06
LLStarksbut it still occupies a lot of space on the iso08:06

mrsunok im freakin tired of this09:13
mrsuncomputer starts working from the harddrive and the whole freakin OS is unusable for 5 minutes?09:13
mrsuneven disconnected some internet connections etc09:13
mrsunWTF IS WRONG :/09:13
Ian_Cornemrsun: i'm guessing hardware failure?10:22
mrsunIan_Corne, in what ? ... the compute rwas in perfect health before i installed ubuntu on it10:26
mrsunhad same problem with ALL ubuntu machines10:26
mrsunwhole os goes to hell as soon as hd starts working hard10:26
SwedeMikeyou have AHCI set for the sata controller in BIOS?10:30
=== nikolam_ is now known as nikolam
nikolamI have similar problem on LTS 8.04 Whenever hig disk-intensive task is done, computer is useless. I run software raid1 on 2 sata partitions, 64bit10:56
nikolamsomeone told me its something sbout process priority thing or something and it partially fixed during package installs in new lts 10.0410:57
nikolamBut talking about disk usage cheduler on other Os`es it is a general problem on all OS today, how to prioratize disk acces bandwith not to starve system/apps10:58
Trewasext4 is very slow when a program uses fsync() a lot, like dpkg does11:00
nikolammrsun,11:00
nikolamI had it with ext311:00
SwedeMikeyes, generally interactive performance goes to crap with lots of disk io, that's why I have separate system and data drives11:01
vegabtw 10.04 discussion is in #ubuntu.. this chan switched to 10.1011:01
nikolamThink we would need for about 4 years at lease to have Btrfs and all goodies like additional flash drive for disk operations speedup etc11:01
SwedeMikeI use SSDs for system drives, makes a huge difference.11:02
nikolamSwedeMike, you use NAS?11:02
SwedeMikenikolam: no.11:02
nikolamaha, separate drives in same computer11:02
SwedeMikenikolam: yes.11:02
nikolamvega, I heard about plans for Btrfs in 10.10 Hope till 11.x tere will be default etc11:03
nikolamSwedeMike, I was thinking, would something about that change if I use rt-kernel11:04
SwedeMikequestion is if btrfs will solve any of this, I'm sceptical.11:04
SwedeMikenikolam: I doubt -rt would fix anything.11:04
SwedeMike-rt is only for high precision local events.11:04
nikolamSwedeMike, yep, i was thinking to say 5 years for Btrfs to give significant and stable, but 4 sounded more optimistic11:05
SwedeMikeinteractive performance under load is all about speed/interactivity compromise, when they increase interactivity people complain about speed going down11:06
Trewasbtrfs can't do any magic tricks to improve performance, but in 5 years most of the harddrives will be SSD which solves most of the problems11:07
mrsunnikolam, ive had it with every freakin filesystem ive tried11:07
nikolamAnyway, its only way to go now, so by end of 2011, I suppose it will be default11:07
nikolamMaybe best thing could be its ability to updafe FS version on diks, with existing system/data11:07
mrsunSwedeMike, wells tuff in RAM etc should not go to hell when the disk reads11:07
mrsunlike network stack11:07
nikolammrenouf, no sweat, its more of architectural/kernel problem and fs only add to it11:08
mrsunthat it goes down so bad that it even disconnects internet sometimes cause of disk io ?11:08
SwedeMikemrsun: disconnects internet? how does that manifest itself?11:08
nikolamsounds to me separating disks to Nas/other machine and using iscsi to main machine might improve it or something11:08
mrsunSwedeMike, disk starts reading or writing or whatever, everything just halts11:08
mrsuncant even move mouse11:08
mrsunthen it disconnects chat networks etc11:09
SwedeMikemrsun: if you get disconnected from irc then it just means the processes are not responding to keepalives, so yes, computer is busy with other things, it doesnt mean it disconnects your internet connection11:09
nikolammrsun, internet have nothing to do with it, my net apps works fine during disk chalks11:09
mrsunnikolam, well mine dont11:10
mrsunit just halts the whole damn system11:10
mrsunnothing works more then the hd writes/reads that is going on11:10
nikolammrsun, i guess something is wrong on your comp.11:10
yofelhm, maybe try to increase swappiness a bit instead of decreasing it, that should prevent the system from suddenly going completely useless as it will swap things that aren't used that often out in advance11:10
nikolamwhat ubuntu version do you run11:10
nikolamalso how much ram and what apps etc11:10
mrsunnikolam, have same problem with two other computers with ubuntu11:11
mrsun10.04 now11:11
nikolambecause it is ubuntu+1 here, mainly for dev versions11:11
mrsun2gb ram11:11
mrsunyes i saw you have moved the support11:11
nikolam#ubuntu might be beter place for release supported versions mrsun11:11
mrsunbut to move to another channel and start asking same things again is just stupid as you are all knowing my problems now :P11:11
SandGorgonalso try vm.overcommit_memory and overcommit_ratio11:12
nikolamdunno, I like to talk about future, Btrfs, such stuff :)11:12
SandGorgonI'd like to talk about future of linux sound - is it going to be Pulseaudio or does a low-latency framework like Jack make sense .. from a gaming + media standpoint11:13
yofelhm, I wonder if I should open a SDD trim thread on the forum, I set discard in fstab, but I don't really get how to check if it works, the only howto I can find results in me thinking it doesn't work11:13
yofelSandGorgon: we had a long thread about that a week ago on the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list, add you 2 cents there11:14
yofelerm... *SSD11:14
SandGorgonyofel, all right11:14
nikolamI witnessed several times people uninstalling pulseaudio just to get audio working. I guess Apps are not doing good job catshing up with pulse or something11:14
yofelSandGorgon: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2010-May/thread.html11:15
SandGorgonyofel, gotcha.. thanks11:15
yofelnikolam: most things work fine as long as apps use pulseaudio, once they try to ignore it we get a mess...11:16
nikolamI never got to like those web-displayed mailing lists. I SO miss one frame on left, to browse messages in UsenetNews-like manner, like in Mail client11:17
nikolamyoasif, problem is those things get often dessynchronized, Development of system parts and all Apps etc11:18
SandGorgonyofel, ahh.. i saw the thread. I am more concerned with audio servers rather than low level audio (OSS4, alsa). However that a sound server is needed is a foregone conclusion  (http://linuxplumbersconf.org/2009/slides/Paul-Davis-lpc2009.pdf might be interesting )11:18
yofeloh, nice document, will read it later11:20
SandGorgonyofel, the more interesting post is this one - http://braid-game.com/news/?p=364 - written by Jonathan Blow of Braid. The comments are most illuminating w.r.t problems of game development in linux vs other platforms11:20

yoasifi need some help/ideas on how to report a gdm/xorg bug17:29
charlie-tcayoasif: in maverick?17:39
yoasifcharlie-tca, yeah -- lucid too17:49
charlie-tcaThis is what I use - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs17:50
charlie-tcaIf you know the package, in lucid you could try "ubuntu-bug PACKAGE"17:51
charlie-tcaI don't know if it will work for Maverick yet17:51
yoasifyeah i know how to do that17:51
yoasifissue is that i don't know when to do that, and with no xorg accessible, there is no gui for ubuntu-bug17:52
charlie-tcaso, you need to file it manually?17:55
charlie-tcaYou can go direct to launchpad to file it without ubuntu-bug using https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect17:55
charlie-tcaHere is a format I use for that - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Bug-Report-Layout17:55
charlie-tcaIt helps to get all the information in that is needed17:56

xnguardIs there a way I can add Maverick as a repo, but only consider it for certain packages?18:41
=== nawst2 is now known as mawst
arandxnguard: With a lot of apt pinning, it might work, but I don't think it would be simple, downloading separate packages from LP/packages.ubuntu.com might be better.18:47
xnguardarand: Right, but the only way I can sorta keep up to date with newer releases is to set loads of pages up in Update Scanner and hope it catches new releases, then go download them. :D18:48
xnguardI'm doing it for Debian sid right now (much, much newer crypto libs), and, well... I was hoping there was a less horrible way.18:48
arandUbuntu generally doesn't do mixed systems with different releases, looking for backports or PPAs is generally what works18:50
xnguardI know.  Sadly, no backports immediately visible for libnss3-1d or libncurses5 or some of the other stuff I'm looking for.18:52
xnguardI just suddenly wondered if I could do something clever and semi-elegant to mix in Maverick not-backports plus maybe some sid.18:54
arandIt's likely possibly, but likely not elegant nor simple, nop safe.18:58
xnguardI can live without safe.18:59
xnguardWell, so far.  I mean, I run use Gentoo for a firewall. :D18:59
xnguardAck.  "...use Gento ~x86..."19:00
arandWell, I'm not much help with my handwavey guesses though.19:00
xnguardI kind of suspect there actually isn't a way to do it in a semi-clean way.  I've spent the morning looking through the likely suspects, like the sources.list(5) manpage, forums, and so on.19:02
