Raydiationvoidmage: its the open source driver00:09
Machtini'm fine with nouveau i guess..00:10
Machtinjust don't know if it's better.00:10
yofeldepends, iirc it handles a few things better, but it has no cuda or vdpau support00:10
Machtincouple of days i found out that the open source java-thing kind of sucks. :D00:10
Machtinheard cuda, don't recognize vdpau00:11
yofelvdpau is hardware video decoding00:11
Machtinoh, that might be nice00:11
yofelhave only seen mplayer support that though, haven't tried totem00:11
Machtinconsidering that i watch 1080 movies while i unpack large files on a aes-drive where the rars are encrypted themselves..00:12
BUGabundoyofel: http://codebits.eu/quiz/2010/longstring.txt00:12
RaydiationMachtin: that has nothing to do with jdk, thats a java issue00:12
Raydiation:)00:12
Machtini think videolan supports that too since a couple of weeks, no?00:12
Machtinuh, would have guessed jre Raydiation.. but i'm not really into that stuff.. just noticed that with the 'original' thing my excessively used java-downloader works quite a lot faster than with the other thing00:13
yofelBUGabundo: sorry, I haven't yet learned to talk binary, could you translate that :P00:13
DaekdroomGood lord o.o00:14
duffydackI have to agree about openjdk being sucky.  It just doesnt work with what I use00:14
Raydiationkinda weird if its the original java open source stuff00:14
BUGabundotrying to00:15
Machtinlike i said.. don't really know.. but it took the tool seconds to perform a task after clicking whereas it works instantly now with sun (or oracle these days)00:15
BUGabundoI kinda think this is a bin yofel. so need to convert it to exec. any ideas?00:19
Machtinwell, off to bed. Thanks so far guys! :) night00:21
BUGabundonite00:21
yofelBUGabundo: not offhand, would have to guess here and I can't think of a binary conversion tool currently (other than writing one myself)00:31
BUGabundoif I have the binary00:31
BUGabundoit should be possible to use a hex tool to make an exec file00:31
BUGabundoright?00:31
BUGabundobut ghex and few others do NOTHING00:31
napsyBUGabundo: what are you trying to do?00:32
BUGabundocheating a context :P00:32

mininessiehas kernel 2.6.35 worked for anyone else on 10.1001:17
crimsun_sure.  What are your specific symptoms?  Have you filed a bug report?01:19
mininessiecrimsun_, i just can't boot into the kernel01:19
Daekdroommininessie, kernel panic?01:19
mininessieDaekdroom, drm nouveau01:20
mininessieDaekdroom, parmin flush or something like that01:20
DaekdroomHm, I'm not very into nouveau drm..01:20
mininessiekernel 2.6.35 doesn't work01:29
bjsnidercrimsun_, is sdl doing any software mixing like pulse or is it just hardware?01:48
crimsun_bjsnider: "software mixing"?01:49
crimsun_bjsnider: if you're asking whether it functions as "sound server", the answer is no.01:50
crimsun_a similar "layer" would be GStreamer or xine-lib.01:50
bjsnidera guy is telling me that he can only play a stream from his tv card if he uses the sdl driver in mplayer instead of pulse or alsa. otherwise playback isn't smooth enough. i can't see why01:52
crimsun_the sdl audio backend is either going to be pulse or alsa.01:52
crimsun_dpkg -l libsdl1.2\*|grep ^ii01:53
bjsniderthat only makes it even more confusing, unless it's just a quirk of mplayer's01:54
crimsun_I'm not sure why that's more confusing.01:54
bjsniderbecause if sdl is using pulse or alsa anyway, then mplayer's pulse or alsa drivers should also work fine01:55
crimsun_Is the symptom reproducible using 1) mplayer from the motumedia ppa with 2) linux-alsa-driver-modules from the ubuntu-audio-dev ppa?01:55
crimsun_ *** 2:1.0~rc4~try1-1ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa1 001:55
crimsun_     2:1.0~rc3+svn20090426-1ubuntu16 001:55
crimsun_pretty significant updates01:56
bjsniderhe's using mplayer-git from my ppa, and the rest should be stock lucid packages01:57
bjsniderthe stock mplayer from lucid is even worse01:57
bjsniderbut the hardware is an ion netbook01:57
bjsnidernot sure what they use for sound01:57
crimsun_I'm troubleshooting blindly here, because there haven't been answers to my questions ;)01:58
crimsun_[note: begin with the sdl audio backend]01:59
bjsnideri can definitely tell him to try the audio-dev ppa02:02

thehizzhi all - I can't access my cd drive.. I can manually press the eject button on the drive, and it opens, and I put in a CD, but then once in, even though I know the CD should be recognized (and is normally), it won't recognize! Nothing happens.. How can I refresh the CD driver or something? Or what do I do (without rebooting)?09:10
ikoniathehizz: you can't refresh a cd driver - that's not needed09:12
ikoniathehizz: what's on the CD?09:12
thehizzikonia, ok, so how do I force it to recognize and blank the CD?09:12
ikoniait's a blank CD ?09:12
thehizzikonia, data to be discarded - and to reburn09:12
ikoniathehizz: then it's not blank09:13
ikoniathehizz: what data is on it09:13
thehizzold files09:13
ikoniawhat type of datas09:13
thehizznothing problematic.. just random stuff09:13
ikoniadata09:13
ikoniaok - I'm not going to help you as you are unable to answer my questions09:13
thehizzdoesn't matter what on the cd - no matter what cd i put in, the same thing happens09:13
thehizzit's a cd of music, this one09:13
thehizzthey are all either cd-rw's or dvd-rw's09:14
ikoniaI'm not interested, I shouldn't have to pull data from you when you are requesting help09:14
ikoniagood luck09:14
thehizzpull data?09:14
thehizzdude, your questions are irrelevant. it's data. the cd itself is not being recognized. the drive isn't even being recognized!09:14
ikoniayes, ask a question 3 times09:14
ikoniahow do you know the drive isn't being recoginsed09:14
thehizzdoesn't matter what's on the cd or dvd. it happens with all dvd and cd i put in. the cd/dvd drive itself isn't recognized, despite working fine an hour or so ago.09:15
ikoniahow do you know the drive isn't being recoginsed09:15
thehizzi've done the cle "df -l" and "df"09:15
thehizzit doesn't show up09:15
ikoniathat means nothing09:15
ikoniathat only shows mounted file systems09:15
ikoniaand if your drive isn't mounted it won't show up09:15
thehizzi've checked a few other commands, after reading the various forums..09:15
ikoniawhich ones09:15
thehizzbut it wasn't being recognized09:15
ikoniawhat other commands have you used to show it's not recoignised09:16
ikoniarecognised09:16
thehizzI tail the /var/log/syslog.. when I put in and out a CD/DVD09:16
ikoniathat proves nothing again09:17
DanaGHmm, probably it's the new equivalent of the old "hal" having polling disabled.09:17
thehizzthere were others too.. I don't remember them all.. however, the end conclusion of the forum reading was that it wasn't being recognized.. do you have a better test commandline?09:17
DanaGNot sure how you'd fix that nowadays.09:17
ikoniathehizz: I disagree09:17
ikoniathehizz: I suspect it is recognised as CD drives are dumb09:17
DanaGsudo eject -T /dev/scd009:17
ikoniaif it's not recognised, it's broken,09:17
DanaGT toggles.09:17
thehizzDanaG, eject cd command failed.. input/output error09:18
DanaGWeird.09:18
ikoniaif the drive is not recognised, it is more likley the drive is broken09:18
thehizzikonia, drive's not broken.09:19
ikoniaas drives are so "dumb" it would take a pretty special drive to not be recognised09:19
ikoniathehizz: how do you know ?09:19
thehizzit worked fine an hour ago.. i'm sure if I could restart the computer it'd work fine as well.. but I can't reboot09:19
ikoniaworking an hour ago does not mean it's not broke now09:19
ikoniawhy can't you reboot ?09:20
thehizzbig project going - can't reboot09:20
ikoniawhat's stopping you rebooting ?09:20
ikoniayou've using a development version (10.10) for a "big project" ?09:20
thehizzikonia, omg, dude, if you can't help, don't help - but stop the belittling09:21
ikoniaI'm not09:21
ikoniaI'm asking you questions to get to the bottom of the situation and resolve it09:21
thehizzok, fine. answer: yes.09:21
thehizzwhat else will help you "resolve"?09:21
thehizzdid dmesg | grep -i cd | grep -i rom ... "doesn't have tracks recognized"09:22
ikoniayou're giving me information as "fact" such as "the drive is not broke" and "the data doesn't" matter, when you can provide no information to back this up09:22
ikoniathehizz: again - that doesn't mean anything09:22
thehizzok, well, suggest what I can do to give you meaningful and useful information. I don't know better how to answer about 'what's data on the disk'.09:23
ikoniathehizz: one of 3 things is happening here 1.) the drive is broke 2.) the data on the CD's is not supported in it's current application 3.) part of the IO subsystem has hung, which as your using a development version, is possible09:23
thehizzok.....09:24
thehizzI'm going to assume that 3 is the culprit. How shall I test?09:25
ikoniareboot the box09:25
thehizzThat's not a test09:25
thehizzAnd again, I can't reboot09:25
ikoniathen you need to wait until you can09:25
thehizzThat's the best 'test' you can come up with? The best fix? But you know everything about every commandline command that isn't helpful?09:25
thehizzSeriously?09:26
ikoniathehizz: you've told me the device is not recognised (despite no facts to back this up) so you'll need to reboot to get it to walk the device again and see if it picks it up09:26
ikoniaanything beyond that will be a futile test09:26
thehizzwhat can fix it without rebooting?09:26
ikoniaunknown, if it's unrecognised, it will need to probe it again09:27
ikoniaas cddrives are not normally hot plug, a reboot will be needed09:27
thehizzthat's why I was saying - somehow there must be a way to refresh the driver or restart the drive.. how do I manually tell it to probe the drive?09:27
ikoniano09:27
thehizzthat makes no sense.. linux is all powerful.. how is there not a way to re-probe a cd/dvd drive?09:28
ikoniait's nothing to do with linux09:28
thehizzso why not then?09:28
ikoniait's a hardware limitation, CD drives are not normally hot plug, and your board probably isn't, so it will need a reboot09:28
ikoniathe same is true in any os09:28
thehizzI can make the CD hot plug - there are other devices hot-plugged on my cpu09:29
ikoniathehizz: how can you make a non-hotplug device hot plug ?09:29
thehizzikonia, I just did sudo hdparm -I /dev/sr0 ... got (identify) failed: Invalid exchange..09:34
DanaGthehizz: say, what sort of drive is the CD drive?09:34
thehizzcd/dvd-rw09:34
thehizzsimple one from newegg.. liteon maybe09:34
DanaGif it's sata, on an AHCI controller, you can use scsiadd to remove and reattach the drive.09:34
DanaGJust be very careful not to remove your boot drive. =þ09:34
ikoniathehizz: what do you expect that do to ?09:35
DanaGscsiadd -r 4 0 0 0 removes my eSATA.  If I do scsiadd -r 4, it removes the wrong thing.09:35
ikoniathe device isn't hot plug09:35
DanaGWhat matters most is the motherboard, not the drive.09:35
DanaGFor example, my CD bay is not hotpluggable according to BIOS, but it's hotpluggable just fine in Linux.09:36
DanaGI just yank the thing and replug it.09:36
napsyall sata devices are hotpluggable09:36
DanaGBut, some SATA controllers (such as nforce4) don't like that.09:36
thehizzIt's a sata dvd/cd drive, yes..09:36
thehizzhow do I determine the correct scsi number?09:37
DanaGscsiadd -p09:37
DanaGprints current status.09:37
DanaGoh, and before doing -r, try:09:38
DanaGlsof /dev/scd009:38
DanaGit'll tell you if any app has it open.09:38
DanaGor rather, fuser.09:38
DanaG"Ubuntu One Disabled."09:39
thehizzI did both.. none seem using it..09:39
thehizzbut which number in scsiadd -p determines number for -r command?09:40
DanaGAn example:09:40
DanaGHost: scsi4 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 0009:40
DanaG  Vendor: ATA      Model: eSATA-2 HD642JJ  Rev: 1AA009:40
DanaGscsiadd -r 4 0 0 009:40
DanaGMake sure to have ALL four fields there.09:40
thehizzok.. sudo or not?09:41
DanaGYeah, needs sudo.09:41
DanaGThat question, "install suid root?" -- nobody sane would answer yes, because then any user could unplug the boot drive and crash the system.09:41
DanaGAlso make sure to use your numbers. =þ09:42
thehizzk, removed the dvd drive.. now what?09:42
DanaGsudo scsiadd -s09:42
DanaGRescans the bus for drives.09:42
thehizzdidnt' seem to find/add it09:43
ikoniaDanaG: I thought that would only work on hotplug kit09:43
DanaGhmm.  That's odd.09:43
DanaGThat may be true, after all.  I forgot to ask what SATA controller... =/09:44
ikoniamost home kit won't be hotplug without $$$$$09:44
ikoniathere is that stupid "fake" hotplug on home kit, but that relies too much on the device09:45
DanaGAny AHCI controller can do hotplug.09:45
ikoniaDanaG: but I thought that again depended on the device attatched09:45
DanaGThat's all recent Intel, AMD/ATI, and even nvidia.09:45
ikonia(for the home user end kit)09:45
DanaGIt shouldn't.  I've even gone eSATA port -> eSATA-to-SATA cable -> SATA-to-IDE converter -> IDE hard drive.  Just had to get power elsewhere.09:46
ikoniathat's a big chain09:46
ikoniabut they are disks, CD and tape drives didn't play with it09:47
DanaGEven that hack was hotpluggable.  Some Silicon Image controller in the converter board.09:47
DanaGSame was true for CD too.  Or at least, eSATA -> SATA -> laptop CD drive works, as well.09:47
DanaGIt even exposes nicely the difference between "unplug" and "eject" in Windows.  Eject disk CD_ROM (E:), and Eject HL-DT-ST GSA-T50L optical drive.09:48
DanaGAh, last thing to try: unplug/replug the power cable to the drive.  But that's a last resort.09:50
DanaGah, off to bed I go soon.09:52
DanaGTue Aug 31 01:53:07 PDT 201009:53
DanaGyeah.09:53
ikoniaI wouldn't do that on the fly incase it hangs the bus09:55
DanaGah.10:00
DanaGWell, it all depends on what SATA controller.10:01
DanaGFor example, an old VIA one I think did hang when I tried that, but a SiI3112 dealt with it fine.  And AHCI tends to deal okay with it in laptops, but desktops can vary.10:01

dandi8Help! I installed Maverick on my laptop and it's very slow - also CPU usage spikes up to 100% if I do anything at all (like moving a window for example)16:39
dandi8...anyone?16:43
* patdk-wk would recommend not moving windows then16:44
dandi8lol16:44
dandi8seriously16:44
dandi8I need help16:44
patdk-wkI have no clue :)16:44
dandi8but there's so many other people here! Why won't they respond? o.O16:44
patdk-wkI'm sure if they where around, and had a clue, they would16:45
patdk-wkwith this many users in here, normally a max of 5 different people talk per day16:45
dandi8are you suggesting that all these people are afk?16:45

dandi8Help! I installed Maverick on my laptop and it's very slow - also CPU usage spikes up to 100% if I do anything at all (like moving a window for example)16:46
mbeierldandi8: did you read the issues surrounding the latest X updates?16:47
dandi8ummm... I'm not sure16:47
mbeierldandi8: also, are you aware that it is alpha software and subject to break?16:47
dandi8yes16:47
dandi8but it's the only one that works16:47
dandi8I tried 10.04 and all I got was a black screen after splash16:47
patdk-wkwhat video card?16:48
mbeierlright now there are a lot of changes going on in the X display space which involves the potential for things to break16:48

dandi8are you suggesting I downgrade?16:51
patdk-wkI dunno that you can actually call that a downgrade16:51
patdk-wkbut you probably have several different issues going on, that is going make it really hard for someone to help you16:52
dandi8well I would be downgrading from Maverick to Lucid16:52
dandi8several issues? Why's that?16:52
patdk-wkas maverick isn't out, and isn't stable, you can't call it a downgrade :)16:52
patdk-wkwell, it sounds like you still have intel driver issues16:53
patdk-wkas most people don't have window moving problems16:53
patdk-wkand it's probably compounded wit hthe X upgrade16:53
patdk-wkas most people aren't running maverick, getting help to solve your issues will be limited16:54
patdk-wkwhere as a 2second google search found that solution pretty damn quick16:54
dandi8yeah16:54
dandi8but they're talking about some specific beta 2 release or something16:55
dandi8and also there's other solutions on that page16:55
dandi8I'm not sure which one I should choose16:55
dandi8and also It's not a window moving problem - it's a performance problem16:55
dandi8WHATEVER I do I get slowdowns16:55
patdk-wkI don't see any beta2 on that page16:56
dandi8first page16:56
patdk-wkwell, I didn't read the first page16:56
patdk-wkthe thread probably started when beta2 was released cause many people upgrade then16:56
patdk-wkbeta2 maverick is not here yet16:56

dandi8"PS: The difficulty is finding an image of Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 2! I happen to have a CD from my earlier tests. Avoid kernel 2.6.32-21 since the Kennel Model Setting is not yet working ok with Intel 85x graphics."16:56
dandi8ohai S4ry16:57
S4ryHey Friend ,16:57
S4ryi found something , it a bug reported16:57
S4ryhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/518938/comments/416:57
ubottuLaunchpad bug 518938 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "black screen on Intel HM55 - during boot and Xorg" [Undecided,Incomplete]16:57
dandi8well, that one is.16:58
S4rylooks like a kernel issue16:58
S4ryBRB16:58
patdk-wkthat would say his current issue isn't a kernel issue though17:00
patdk-wkcause he is using the newer kernel with maverick17:00
patdk-wkbut it would fix lucid17:00
dandi8o.O?17:01
mbeierldandi8: there are two suggestions for you here from the others responding: 1) re-install Lucid and try to fix the problem with the black screen after splash and 2) wait for maverick to become stable17:07
dandi8hmm17:09
dandi8when will Maverick become stable, more or less? Just out of curiosity17:09
mbeierldandi8: that's a tough one.  It's similar to the question "how long is a piece of string?"  It's in the alpha stages right now and should be moving to beta perhaps mid September, but the reality is that there are many developers at play in the X server space and it's simply going to take some time before it becomes stable again.17:24
mbeierlif it takes too long they will be looking at backing it all out, though17:24
mbeierldoubtful that would happen, but it's always a fall back position :)17:24
mbeierlbut it sounds like right now you're running without any hardware acceleration whatsoever for your display, forcing your main CPU to do all the work of rendering the movement of the window17:25
mbeierlfor now, do you have all graphical effects turned off?17:26
dandi8well17:27
dandi8I had them turned off17:27
dandi8and I did an experiment17:27
dandi8I turned on standard17:27
dandi8it didn't change a thing17:27
dandi8I don't even see any eyecandy17:27
dandi8and I also came to the conclusion of no hardware acceleration17:27
dandi8because every time I try to do something GFX-extensive17:28
dandi8my CPU goes to 100%17:28
dandi8I guess I'll try installing Ubuntu 10.041 Alternate with the workaround17:28
dandi8think that'll help?17:28
patdk-wkwell, the only issue in lucid with it was, your video card isn't supported17:29
patdk-wkthe new kernel will fix that17:29
dandi8what new kernel?17:29

po1termy sound volume doesn't change when scrolling the indicator applet anymore.. anyone know if this is a know bug?17:31
po1terhave tried searching launchpad, but.. no luck so far17:31
dandi8you make it sound like it won't17:31
Ian_corneI don't get all the fuss about the sound menu17:31
patdk-wkdowngrading to lucid won't fix it, cause the lucid kernel doesn't support it17:31
Ian_corneit's so17:31
Ian_corneuseless?17:31
patdk-wkso that is why install from alt cd, then install a newer kernel17:31
dandi8so what should I do?17:31
dandi8oh17:31
dandi8how do I do that?17:32
dandi8is it the thing that's described in the workarounds?17:32

sebsebsebHi20:18
sebsebsebRight so the option for btrfs support will get removed from  the alternate ISO?  and the desktop for that matter if it has one now?  and people who have 10.10 with btrfs can still run it,  but they will be pretty much on their own, since 10.10 won't offer it anymore optionally? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/btrfs-wont-be-supported-in-maverick.html20:18
sebsebsebom26er you commented there, so you can probably answer the above ^20:19
om26ersebsebseb, no20:20
sebsebsebom26er: no to what?20:20
om26ersebsebseb, you are and will be able to install Maverick on btrfs. just not the grub part20:20
sebsebsebom26er: and the Grub thing is only so that /boot can be on btrfs?20:22
om26ersebsebseb, yes20:22
sebsebsebom26er: I assume you have used it properly by now, I haven't.  I had a vm before with it, but that was it,  and didn't even know how to use snap shots at the time,  and probably a bit pointless really to  try in a vm, but anyway.20:23
om26ermy maverick machine was on btrfs unlast the system broken so hard had to remove :(20:24
sebsebseband I don't  know how to use snapshots at the moment either, since haven't read anything proper about that.   It seems to be the only proper reason to do btrfs though from what I have read.20:24
om26ersnapshots for N20:25
sebsebsebfor N? natt?20:25
sebsebsebnatty?20:25
* om26er expects btrfs to be the default FS for Natty20:25
sebsebsebprobably need something graphical for snapshots,  I hope  distros reolize that,  and not just Ubuntu :)20:25
om26ermost probably others distros will make the move too20:26
sebsebsebyeah and Gnome 3 probably by default for 11.04 as well?20:26
om26ernot gnome-shell for N as far as i can think20:26
sebsebsebWhy not?20:26
om26erwe just cant pick it and ship with ubuntu IMO. atleast Ubuntu need 1whole cycle to make shell better20:27
sebsebsebom26er: it wasn't going to be for 10.10, but by the time it comes out in March next year,  unless  they delay again of course,  it will proably be quite stable and good, well I hope so anyway20:27
sebsebsebom26er: Your one of the Ubuntu devs aren't you?20:27
om26ermaybe we might get something new at the UDS.. Ubuntu Unity for Desktop Edition :p20:28
om26ersebsebseb, no20:28
sebsebsebom26er: Oh Unity for the destop edition is bound to annoy a lot of people from the wider Linux community.20:28
sebsebsebom26er: I mean if its done any time soon20:28
sebsebsebinstead of Gnome Shell20:29
om26erif Unity is going to be used for Desktop it needs to be altered big time for desktop needs20:29
sebsebsebom26er: I haven't tried it yet, but quite similar to Gnome Shell,  apparently20:29
sebsebsebor well what shell will probably be20:29
om26erunity is too different from Shell20:31
sebsebsebom26er: no one is really quite sure what shell is going to be at the moment though20:31
sebsebsebom26er: except for Gnome people I guess20:31
om26ersebsebseb, I think gnome people dont even know what it will look like ;)20:32
sebsebsebom26er: 2011 should be a pretty interesting year for Desktop Linux20:33
sebsebsebom26er: btrfs by default in loads of distros probably, and  Gnome 3 by default in loads of distros probably as well20:33
om26erexcept for the Shell part which dont attract me :O20:34
sebsebsebom26er: not the latest version,  but I am running this Gnome Shell 3 preview, on a daily basis nearly or well pretty much,  in my current non Ubuntu distro20:35
sebsebsebwasn't so keen on it at first though, since how its black, and such, but then got really used to20:35
dupondjeThunderbird does not show a message anymore when new email arrives ? :s20:35
sebsebsebom26er: however remember those mock ups on omgubuntu sure you do?  where it looked a lot more like Unity20:36
sebsebsebom26er: so  I am expecting a lot of changes to what I am currently using,  by the final20:37
om26ersebsebseb, ya those. when gnome-shell releases unity might even evolve already20:37
sebsebsebom26er: what do you mean unity might even evolve?20:37
om26erimproved20:37
om26erlighter, faster and glossy20:38
sebsebsebom26er: I think 10.10 is going to be much better on the net book edition, than the desktop, since Unity20:38
sebsebsebwhich is a bit hrm in a way, since  desktop edition will be used more than the netbook, I guess20:39
sebsebseba lot more20:39
om26er10.10 for Netbooks. 11.04 for Beauty. 11.10- 12.04 Desktop20:39
om26ermy guess ofcource ;)20:39
sebsebsebom26er: 11.04 for beauty,   well maybe so from Mark's natty annoucment20:39
sebsebseb,but if they aren't using Gnome Shell, how they going to do that20:39
sebsebsebom26er: something about how 11.04 will take advantage of modern graphics cards more, or whatever, he was saying, thats what I mean.20:40
* om26er wonders where did the 10sec boot go20:41
om26ermaybe Upstart-1.0 will boost things20:41
sebsebsebom26er: the original plan was that they would use 11.04 and 11.10  to prepare 12.04 for Gnome 3, so  I think that yes it may become default in 11.04.20:42
sebsebsebdupondje: hrm20:42
sebsebsebdupondje: maybe try the mozilla help?20:42
sebsebsebdupondje: I mean their network?   Ubuntu doesn't make Thunderbird after all20:42
sebsebsebom26er: boot in 10.10 you mean?20:42
