| sudoer | hi all | 02:19 |
| sudoer | i just installed ubuntu 10.1 and the first thing I did was "apt-get install build-essential " and it fails with E: Broken packages | 02:20 |
| sudoer | I get build-essential: Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or libc-dev | 02:20 |
| sdk | Heyas all. Trying to get build-dep wine1.2 to install in Maverick but there is a recursion error between libstdc++ and gcc-base 4.1.2-27 (dependency requirement) and 4.1.2-29 (already installed). Being a relative n00b, is there a way to tell apt/dpkg to ignore the dependency and install anyway; or is that a "Very Bad Thing (TM)"? | 02:23 |
| pasjr | Hello, I was wondering if any one else has a TOSHIBA A505D they are running 10.10 on? | 02:25 |
| sdk | Ok, am reading about a package ia32-apt-get, but it does not seem to be in Maveric, or Lucid for that matter.. getting from Karmic. This should be interestig... | 02:38 |
| sdk | interesting, even... | 02:39 |

| DanaG | Say, is it possible to set up a system so it uses an aufs overlay if the write-protect switch is set, but uses real file system when write-protect is not set? | 03:53 |
| DanaG | ah, easier to implement: use user button plus switch-slide to switch from RO to RW. | 04:05 |
| DanaG | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/aufsRootFileSystemOnUsbFlash | 04:11 |
| DanaG | Say, what's the status of aufs in Maverick? | 04:11 |
| DanaG | argh, it's not in the l0 kernel. | 04:28 |
| DanaG | That's the third-party one. | 04:28 |
| DanaG | I don't remember what it was that was screwed up 35-15-omap. | 04:28 |
| MTecknology | I want to try 10.10 to see if it fixing my issues.. but I can't really afford a test drive and I also need to edit the grub config to test it.. | 05:21 |
| MTecknology | If 10.10 doesn't already have the fixes I'll probably return this laptop while I still have time.. | 05:22 |
| MTecknology | I'm pretty sure there's no side scroll support so I may do that anyway.. | 05:22 |
| Jordan_U | MTecknology: I'm pretty sure that "side scroll" isn't something supported by the hardware as much as a sticker on the touchpad and software configuration :) | 06:03 |
| MTecknology | Jordan_U: you know what touchpad I have? | 06:03 |
| Jordan_U | MTecknology: No. | 06:04 |
| MTecknology | Jordan_U: idk what it's called - it seems the manufacturer decided it was an un needed luxury.. | 06:04 |
| MTecknology | problem is that I gre accustomed to using it religiously | 06:04 |
| MTecknology | I have no scroll bars anywhere.. | 06:04 |
| MTecknology | Jordan_U: You maybe know of a way to spoof it? | 06:04 |
| Jordan_U | MTecknology: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics#Xorg_method | 06:05 |
| MTecknology | Jordan_U: where would that go if I have no xorg.conf? | 06:07 |
| MTecknology | when did xorg.conf stop being there anyway? about 9.04 or something? | 06:08 |
| Jordan_U | MTecknology: You can create one, but I recommend actually making a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf | 06:08 |
| Jordan_U | MTecknology: http://andreascarpino.it/2010/04/xorg-1-8-synaptics-touchpad-configuration/ | 06:08 |
| DanaG | No, watch out... | 06:08 |
| MTecknology | oooh | 06:08 |
| DanaG | if you make a conf.d in /etc/, it ignores absolutely everything in /usr/ | 06:08 |
| DanaG | Last time I tried that, it left me with no usable keyboard! | 06:09 |

| MTecknology | DanaG: can I just copy what's in /usr there? | 06:10 |
| DanaG | Better to just put your own file in /usr. | 06:10 |
| abhinav | hi .. is the alpha3 64 bit stable enough for an upgrade (in general) ? | 06:10 |
| DanaG | It's not the right "style" of doing things, but it's least breakage-ey. | 06:10 |
| MTecknology | DanaG: where specifically would that go? | 06:10 |
| DanaG | Not sure if that's still true with Maverick. | 06:10 |
| DanaG | /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ | 06:10 |
| MTecknology | oh, there's only 2 files in there - 05-evdev.conf 10-synaptics.conf | 06:11 |
| MTecknology | DanaG: thanks for the warning - may have saved me a massive headache :) | 06:13 |
| MTecknology | Jordan_U: so, am I to create the serverlayout section? | 06:13 |
| MTecknology | Or should I add the input class from the second link | 06:14 |
| DanaG | One thing I always do: install SSH server. | 06:14 |
| DanaG | And if I have a box with serial, I like to set up serial console. | 06:14 |
| MTecknology | DanaG: I don't have a spare system :P | 06:15 |
| MTecknology | one and only | 06:15 |
| DanaG | ah, a netbook is good for use as spare -- about all I use it for is grabbing stuff from my main system. | 06:16 |
| Jordan_U | MTecknology: Smart phone? | 06:16 |
| MTecknology | I have a usb drive with systemrescuecd on it somewhere | 06:16 |
| MTecknology | Jordan_U: maybe if I can afford it someday | 06:16 |
| MTecknology | Things like amazing breakage bother me too little... | 06:17 |
| DanaG | When you factor in the data plan OR the fully-unlocked price, they can cost more than some netbooks. | 06:17 |
| * Jordan_U has about the dumbest phone available, can't even download backgrounds / ringtones. | 06:17 | |
| DanaG | You ever try BitPim? | 06:18 |
| DanaG | If it's LG something-or-other, or such. | 06:18 |
| MTecknology | well - I'll be back (hoping) | 06:19 |
| MTecknology | If it breaks I'll probably just go to sleep | 06:19 |
| DanaG | oh, and remember: | 06:19 |
| MTecknology | If I don't come back, Jordan_U: DanaG: thanks :D | 06:19 |
| MTecknology | hm? | 06:19 |
| DanaG | "text" stops gdm from loading without going all the way to "single". | 06:19 |
| DanaG | argh, is ports.ubuntu.com down? | 06:20 |
| Jordan_U | MTecknology: You're welcome. | 06:20 |
| DanaG | no, it's only the chroot. | 06:20 |
| MTecknology | now to test this... | 06:21 |
| MTecknology | vim | 06:21 |
| MTecknology | nope | 06:22 |
| Jordan_U | MTecknology: Have you logged out and in again to restart X? | 06:22 |
| DanaG | weird.. ext3 ignores read-only flag of card! | 06:23 |
| MTecknology | I get all the way to the edge of the touchpad and it's like I'm just moving around in the middle of it | 06:23 |
| MTecknology | Jordan_U: reboot | 06:23 |
| MTecknology | woah! new ubuntu pastebin | 06:24 |
| Jordan_U | DanaG: If you're talking about the small switch on many flash cards, I think that's actually controlled by the firmware on the card itself. | 06:24 |
| MTecknology | shiny | 06:24 |
| MTecknology | http://paste.ubuntu.com/481290/ <- this is what I have now | 06:24 |
| DanaG | No, I think it's like the old floppies -- it's up to the reader device. | 06:24 |
| DanaG | And what's weird is that mmcblk0p1 (vfat) gets read-only, but mmcblk0p2 still can write! | 06:25 |
| MTecknology | Did I do anything dumb with that? | 06:25 |
| Jordan_U | DanaG: There is certainly enough logic in the card itself to do it, all of the wear leveling / block device emulation is done in that tiny card itself. | 06:25 |
| DanaG | This one is a micro to fullsize adapter. | 06:26 |
| MTecknology | GSynaptics couldn't initialize. | 06:26 |
| MTecknology | You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics | 06:26 |
| DanaG | I had another such adapter break, and it's just a bit of plastic sliding around in another bit of plastic. | 06:26 |
| DanaG | Yeah, they say you don't need shmconfig... bull! | 06:26 |
| MTecknology | apparently it didn't read that config.. | 06:26 |
| DanaG | You still need it for synclient -m! | 06:26 |
| MTecknology | DanaG: I have that in the config though | 06:26 |
| DanaG | If it's a security risk, then fine, make it require sudo! | 06:26 |
| DanaG | But claiming we "don't need SHMConfig" is a fallacy. | 06:27 |
| MTecknology | oh.. I'm also in the wrong channel | 06:28 |
| MTecknology | This is 10.04 - my work system is 10.10 | 06:28 |
| DanaG | oh yeah, and if you just edited the stock one, you should make a copy of it. | 06:28 |
| MTecknology | DanaG: I copied what was in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ | 06:29 |
| MTecknology | then I changed the file | 06:29 |
| MTecknology | DanaG: I don't think xorg is using that config section though.. | 06:29 |
| MTecknology | maybe Identifier "touchpad catchall" | 06:30 |
| MTecknology | nope.. | 06:33 |
| MTecknology | You guys have any other ideas? | 06:35 |
| MTecknology | Jordan_U: Do I need to add the ServerLayout and Module sections? | 06:38 |
| MTecknology | HOw do I know if my touchpad is even synaptics? | 06:39 |

| ddecator | anyone have skype working? i just did a fresh install of 10.10 and skype isn't in the partner repo and when i download the deb it won't install | 07:34 |
| abhinav | ddecator: what does it complain about | 07:36 |
| ddecator | abhinav: let me get the error again a sec | 07:37 |
| ddecator | "dpkg: unable to read filedescriptor flags for <package status and progress file descriptor>: Bad file descriptor" | 07:39 |
| ddecator | that's using the deb from skype's site | 07:40 |
| ddecator | i'm also getting complaints when i run "sudo apt-get update" about my PPAs, but i don't think that's related | 07:44 |
| ddecator | ...any ideas? | 07:47 |
| abhinav | ddecator: I just started the upgrade, so can't test it out now.. but does the same happen for other packages also ? | 07:51 |
| ddecator | abhinav: not yet, haven't run into any other issues (other than handbrake not being available) | 07:53 |
| ddecator | and it gets a 404 every time it tries to connect to the PPA server for updates but i'm guessing that's a temporary server issue | 07:54 |
| abhinav | ddecator: ok.. the most likely cause is unmet dependencies, but that clearly doesn't seem to be the case here. Could you try installing the package using gdebi ? | 07:54 |
| abhinav | ddecator: 404 could be because the PPA has been changed to point to maverick, which is not yet created ? | 07:54 |
| abhinav | ddecator: you might need to change it back to lucid/whatever your previous release was | 07:55 |
| abhinav | ddecator: just checked.. you have a fresh install. So you didn't have anything earlier. So you can try changing the source entry to lucid | 07:55 |
| ddecator | abhinav: it's using gdebi for the deb install, and yah i need to check the ppas to see if they have a maverick download available still since that could be the issue | 07:56 |
| ddecator | and i checked that there isn't a missing dependency (based on what the skype site says is needed) | 07:57 |
| ddecator | anyone familiar with "N: Ignoring file 'ubuntu-mozilla-daily-ppa-maverick.list.save' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension" | 08:06 |
| ddecator | i'm getting that for every PPA entry i have, no matter what | 08:06 |
| ddecator | i'm guessing the .save files aren't supposed to be in there because i removed them and it's fine now.. | 08:09 |
| ddecator | but they show up whenever i edit my sources, so wth | 08:10 |
| ddecator | alright, so skype installed from the deb just fine when i opened it with the software center for w/e reason, so that problem is solved | 08:18 |
| === catweazle_ is now known as catweazle | ||
| abhinav | ddecator: the save files are backup. shouldnt affect anything | 08:44 |
| abhinav | ddecator: you shouldn | 08:45 |

| lamalex | Hey, i'm running maverick but I'd like to mount my home drive from lucid. unfortunately it's encrypted. How do I get access to my files? Anyone know? | 13:42 |
| abhinav | Volkodav: thanks.. trying the same | 13:54 |
| abhinav | lamalex: You mean the home directory was encrypted earlier also ? | 13:56 |
| abhinav | lamalex: what encryption are you talking about ? If you just upgraded on the same machine, that shouldn't affect your access to the home directory | 13:56 |
| lamalex | abhinav, two partitions | 13:56 |
| lamalex | want to access data on other partition which is lucid | 13:57 |
| lamalex | i'm doing ecryptfs-mount-private but it keeps telling me ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly | 13:57 |
| abhinav | lamalex: So you installed maverick on a new partition | 13:58 |
| lamalex | yes | 13:58 |
| abhinav | lamalex: ok .. and the home in this new partition is obviously different from the one in the lucid partition. So you probably need to set up the ecryptfs thing again | 13:59 |
| abhinav | Volkodav: the steps worked fine. Thanks ! | 14:00 |
| Volkodav | cool | 14:00 |
| lamalex | abhinav, huh? what would i need to set up ecryptfs again? | 14:01 |
| lamalex | s/what/why | 14:01 |
| lamalex | Let me paint the full picture of what's happening- I'm not sure there'a clear understanding of my problem | 14:02 |
| lamalex | I just installed maverick to a new partition to test it out, make sure all my stuff works, etc. My old and main system is lucid, which is in the other partition. My lucid set up has an encrypted home. Now I'm in maverick and there are files I want to get from lucid. My partition is mounted, and I can get into home, but I can't get to the files because of encryption. I just need to unlock them | 14:04 |
| lamalex | but I don't know how to unlock them | 14:04 |
| abhinav | lamalex: and your maverick home is separate from your lucid home right ? | 14:07 |
| lamalex | yes, the two have nothing in common | 14:07 |
| lamalex | (well, swap) | 14:07 |
| abhinav | lamalex: right .. so you need to "mount" this lucid home, which is encrypted, by providing keys etc. are you doing that from within maverick ? | 14:09 |
| lamalex | abhinav, I'm here asking how to do that | 14:10 |
| sinurge | lamalex, pls check this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 14:10 |
| abhinav | ok .. :) this page explains the details .. for your maverick OS, the home on lucid can be seen as a Private encrypted directory. Just follow the instructions here : http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/08/07/create-an-encrypted-private-directory-with-ecryptfs/ | 14:11 |
| lamalex | thanks | 14:12 |
| lamalex | ill let you know how it works out | 14:12 |
| sinurge | lamalex, also imo ths is not a maverick issue itself. if you do not get a solution here you might want to get into the #ubuntu channel for more general help on home directory encryption | 14:12 |
| lamalex | yeah, didn't work | 14:16 |
| lamalex | mouted at Private, but didn't unlock my files | 14:16 |
| abhinav | lamalex: while mounting you had to provide passphrase, etc and that succeeded, right ? | 14:20 |
| lamalex | appeared to | 14:21 |
| lamalex | but all it shows me are two .desktop files telling me it's encrypted | 14:22 |
| lamalex | Is there a problem with source packages at the moment? | 14:54 |
| lamalex | aptitude build-dep isn't working for me, it can't find the source packages for anything | 14:54 |

| soee | got another problem with running MM a3, after installation from USB iv got this error: the symbol `grub_xputs` not found any idea how to fix this (ah and the grub rescue > cmd line appears) | 17:29 |
| penguin42: You really ? The problem maybe that I was playing with /etc/grub.d/40_custom to load another distros without CDs. | 17:33 | |
| penguin42: ok I really begin to making my mind to write a bug report. | 17:35 | |
| penguin42 | wechat: Well, it shouldn't hand - however you're right if you have put something weird in /etc/grub.d then it could | 17:35 |
| penguin42: Yeah, I even edited /boot/grub/grub.cfg. I have for now to solve the problem on my own. | 17:38 | |

| sinurge: I did. I even installed grub2 again. Nothing changed. But the system is working and this bug is only annoying but not a problem for everyday life. | 18:12 | |

| Umeaboy | Hi! | 18:56 |
| magicianlord | hi | 18:57 |
| Zdravstvuite! | 18:57 | |
| Umeaboy | I just installed Maverick vitually on my laptop & I see this problem when I have just recently updated the database: http://www.geting.se/viewimage/image/258778-Problem_i_update-manager.png | 18:58 |
| Umeaboy | It's in Swedish since I'm from Sweden. | 18:58 |
| Umeaboy | Any way to fix this? | 18:59 |
| Umeaboy | Besides switching language. | 18:59 |
| Umeaboy: You've better ask Linus too. He knows Swedesh. | 19:00 | |
| Umeaboy | Linux isn't here. | 19:01 |
| Umeaboy | Linus | 19:01 |
| Umeaboy | wechat: ^^ | 19:03 |
| Linus is everywhere http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0bjun7h5zA I'm Linux Commercial | 19:04 | |
| magicianlord | how old is linus | 19:04 |
| magicianlord | what's gonna happen to linux when he's gone | 19:05 |
| Umeaboy: you can switch your system to english repeat again and give us the photo | 19:05 | |
| Umeaboy: or you can always /join #ubuntu-se | 19:09 | |
| sinurge | wechat, i didnt see any issue, am not able to help sorry | 19:27 |
| sinurge: ok it's working well anyway with this issue | 19:29 | |
| CryWolf | Well, I've found that I don't have hardware support because Toshiba is now using a new BIOS which I've never heard of before: Insyde. Glad I tried before filing a bug. | 19:42 |
| penguin42 | CryWolf: Oh, never heard of them either | 19:47 |
| penguin42 | CryWolf: My Tosh uses a Phoenix bios | 19:47 |
| penguin42 | CryWolf: So, what does the BIOS do to it? | 19:47 |
| CryWolf | penguin42: No one has developed an interface for it. So the FN key doesn't work, can't turn wireless on and off, adjust brightness, etc. | 19:54 |
| CryWolf | Fortunately, things like lock, suspend, hibernate, etc are easy to assign keys to. And the volume wheel does work. | 19:55 |
| penguin42 | CryWolf: ah ok; I think most of the things that you see called 'toshiba tools' are for pretty old ones | 19:55 |
| penguin42 | CryWolf: I've never managed to get anything out of the media keys on mine | 19:56 |
| CryWolf | At least ACPI works with the current kernel. | 19:57 |
| CryWolf | I have another system (a desktop) where media keys are just mapped to various amixer commands. | 19:58 |
| penguin42 | nod | 19:58 |
| penguin42 | yeh, I don't think I've ever seen the kernel get told anything at all by this hardware | 19:58 |
| CryWolf | The power management can dim the screen. There has to be a command that lets me do it, but I haven't found it yet. | 19:59 |
| CryWolf | Turning wireless on and off is probably a lost cause, though. | 19:59 |
| penguin42 | CryWolf: Have a look in /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 | 19:59 |
| penguin42 | there may be a brightness | 20:00 |
| penguin42 | CryWolf: As for wireless, try /sys/class/wlan0/phy80211/rfkill0 - mine has a hard/soft files | 20:01 |
| CryWolf | Sweet. Adjusting brightness works. Next challenge on that will be assigning hotkeys and allowing a regular user to change it. | 20:04 |
| CryWolf | I don't have /sys/class/wlan0 but I'll keep hunting around in there. | 20:05 |
| penguin42 | CryWolf: Oops, /sys/class/net/wlan0 | 20:05 |
| CryWolf | There it is. No phy, but I'll see what I can find. | 20:07 |
| Umeaboy | wechat: This is the first error: http://www.geting.se/viewimage/image/258824-First_error_in_Update-manager.png | 20:15 |
| Umeaboy | This is the second problem, wechat: http://www.geting.se/viewimage/image/258825-Second_problem_in_Update-manager.png | 20:15 |
| penguin42 | it's not letting me update libgirepository1.0-0 either | 20:16 |
| Umeaboy: i had the same :) | 20:16 | |
| Umeaboy: what was the command? update-manager? | 20:17 | |
| http://paste.ubuntu.com/481574/ -- this is my -- dpkg -s libgirepository1.0-0 | 20:20 | |
| CryWolf | penguin42: Alas, no wireless controls available. I can still set some power management with iwconfig, though. And at least now I know how to change the monitor brightness. :) | 20:20 |
| penguin42 | CryWolf: No /sys/class/rfkill either? | 20:22 |
| CryWolf | penguin42: Directory is there, but empty | 20:23 |
| penguin42 | CryWolf: Hohum | 20:23 |
| CryWolf | penguin42: At this point, it's a minor issue. I do appreciate the help. | 20:25 |
| penguin42 | CryWolf: No problem | 20:25 |
| CryWolf | I wonder what the difference between libgirepository1.0-0 and libgirepository1.0-1 is. I have latter on my system, which I updated earlier today. | 20:27 |
| CryWolf | I've been running maverick for only a couple of weeks, so that might have made a difference. | 20:27 |
| penguin42 | CryWolf: Just a version difference I guess | 20:27 |
| Umeaboy | wechat: Huh? I went via System ->Administration ->Update manager | 20:28 |
| penguin42 | actually, I've just removed libgirepository1.0-0 from both my machines and it's not removed anything else | 20:28 |

| CryWolf | Looking at the apt-cache info, looks like 1.0-1 was moved from devel to libs, is a little smaller, and is part of several tasks. And I'm guessing the "Replaces" line means you should just be able to install the new one overtop the old. | 20:31 |

| moxypen | hi people. Just updated from 10.04 LTS to 10.10 via Update, and now I cant boot into the GUI (I CAN boot into the shell though...) - I've got a Radeon 5750 but I'm not sure how to fix the xorg | 22:14 |
| penguin42: 10-15 seconds | 22:14 | |
| CarlFK | how do I install openoffice? | 22:14 |
| CarlFK: aptitude search openoffice | 22:14 | |
| penguin42 | moxypen: You might have bug 605614 | 22:14 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 605614 in linux (Ubuntu) "[ATI] GPU lockup with gfxpayload=keep" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/605614 | 22:15 |
| moxypen | wonderful :) | 22:15 |
| CarlFK | lol The program 'aptitude' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing... | 22:15 |
| penguin42 | moxypen: Get into grub and edit the line that says set gfxmode=keep to set gfxmode=text and see if it helps | 22:15 |
| CarlFK: instal *on* what? | 22:15 | |
| CarlFK: soory i'm from 9.10 | 22:15 | |
| CarlFK | whatever 10.10 + dist-upgrade I have | 22:15 |
| moxypen | ok.. thanks penguin | 22:15 |
| CarlFK: it was in 9.10 and it is now from the past with me in 10.10 | 22:16 | |
| moxypen | grub would be in /etc/?? | 22:16 |
| bp0 | is there a site like this for maverick? http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/ | 22:16 |
| CarlFK | guessing i want openoffice.org2 | 22:17 |
| penguin42 | CarlFK: Should just be openoffice.org | 22:18 |
| CarlFK: there is in the world also OxygenOffice Professional (free) | 22:19 | |
| moxypen | penguin, which file should I edit, /boot/grub/grub.cfg? | 22:23 |
| penguin42 | moxypen: Well I would try it just using the grub menu (hold down left shift just as it's about to boot) | 22:23 |
| moxypen | even better... will try that :) | 22:24 |
| penguin42 | moxypen: If it works I think it's /etc/default/grub and I think it's comment 5 in that bug report | 22:24 |
| moxypen | the left-shift didn't work.. will have to use VI or something | 22:25 |
| penguin42 | it's a matter of hitting shift immediately at the bios | 22:26 |
| moxypen | oh, I hit "e" on the grub menu, that gave me a simple editor | 22:26 |
| penguin42 | yep that's it | 22:27 |
| moxypen | ok, thanks.. will change "keep" to "text" | 22:27 |
| moxypen | well that worked partially... it boots into text now. When running "X", it cant load fglrx | 22:33 |
| moxypen | ...will read comment #5 now :) | 22:34 |
| penguin42 | moxypen: Ah I'm not sure about the fglrx story, I use the open driver | 22:34 |
| moxypen | what was the X configuration script thing called again? perhaps if I set it up for vesa? | 22:36 |
| penguin42 | moxypen: If you just move any xorg.conf you have out of the way it should automatically sort itself out | 22:36 |
| moxypen | just rename / delet xorg.conf? | 22:36 |
| penguin42 | yeh, just rename it so that when you get fglrx going you have it in case you need it | 22:37 |
| moxypen | ok, that took me a step forward. Now the screen went black. I probably should try setting it to vesa | 22:39 |

| * penguin42 disappears for 15mins | 22:43 | |
| moxypen | kk.. thanks | 22:44 |
| * penguin42 reappears | 23:01 | |
| moxypen | I think I'll just give up and reinstall free when 10.10 comes out | 23:04 |
| moxypen | free = fresh | 23:04 |
| penguin42 | ok, which card did you say you had? | 23:04 |
| moxypen | radeon 5750 | 23:05 |
| penguin42 | I think the 5xxx support in the open driver is pretty new, so I suspect you'll need the fglrx; I've got the 4350 and it's reasonably happy but still has some issues | 23:06 |
| moxypen | so you think that's the problem? | 23:06 |
| penguin42 | dunno; I think you're the first 5xxx person I've seen on here | 23:06 |
| moxypen | dont suppose there's a roll-back from the update? | 23:09 |
| penguin42 | from Maverick->Lucid, sorry no | 23:09 |
| Daekdroom | HD5xxx doesn't have 3D support on Maverick, and I don't think it will | 23:09 |
| Daekdroom | unless you use fglrx | 23:10 |
| penguin42 | Daekdroom: Do you know what the current story on fglrx is for Maverick? | 23:10 |
| Daekdroom | penguin42, It doesn't work (TM) | 23:12 |
| Daekdroom | We have to wait for a Catalyst beta release with Xserver 1.9 support | 23:12 |
| penguin42 | Daekdroom: OK, so the correct answer for hd5xxx guys at the moment is hard luck | 23:12 |
| moxypen | ah well... another month? | 23:12 |
| moxypen | ...and a half | 23:14 |
| penguin42 | Daekdroom: Do you know if edgers has 5xxx support? Maybe an option for some people | 23:14 |
| Daekdroom | penguin42, xorg-edgers should have Mesa3D code soon, very soon. | 23:15 |
| Daekdroom | It's just that code won't make it to stable before Maverick freezes. | 23:15 |
| penguin42 | Daekdroom: OK, so the general advice for hd5xxx guys is hard luck - although if it's black screening on them then it's a bug and it needs fixing; 2D should work | 23:15 |
| Daekdroom | In fact, the Evergreen 3D accel code was merged to Mesa today. | 23:15 |
| Daekdroom | penguin42, precisely, 2D should work | 23:16 |
| penguin42 | Daekdroom: I remember it needed nomodeset for lucid | 23:16 |
| moxypen | definitely black-screening | 23:16 |
| moxypen | ..for me | 23:16 |
| penguin42 | moxypen: I'd try removing fgrlx and seeing if that helps, but if not then certainly bug report it - 2D should work for almost everything | 23:16 |
| moxypen | how would I remove fgrlx? | 23:17 |
| penguin42 | good question; I don't have it installed | 23:17 |
| moxypen | I'll google it :) | 23:18 |
| penguin42 | moxypen: Try dpkg -l \*fglrx\* and see what you find to remove - except for fglrx-modaliases which you should keep I think | 23:18 |
| moxypen | kk | 23:19 |
| penguin42 | Daekdroom: Don't suppose you've had much experience with the hd4xxx cards have you? | 23:20 |
| Daekdroom | penguin42, 0 experience, why? | 23:20 |
| penguin42 | Daekdroom: I had assaultcube working on Lucid with xorg-edgers, but on plain Maverick it's got severe rendering issues - I've not tried maverick+edgers yet | 23:21 |
| moxypen | no joy, even after removing fglrx | 23:32 |
| penguin42 | moxypen: Bug report it - include everything you've tried | 23:33 |
| moxypen | kk | 23:33 |
| moxypen | thanks and bye | 23:33 |
