vbgunzI just enabled Maverick repos on lucid, then upgraded the linux kernel, headers, image etc to 2.6.35-22-generic. I disabled the maverick repo. This is a cheap way to get the latest patched kernel without having to compile or use mainline, correct?00:27

fbianconihi, does anybody knows if is there a way to make the system tray auto collapse after a few seconds? can't find any option like that00:41
James147fbianconi: what version?00:42
fbianconiI found it, but doesn't work00:42
fbianconite one on 10.0400:42
fbianconi*the00:43
James147fbianconi: hmm, cant remember what the try way like in kde 4.4.2 (the one that comes with lucid)... but I never remember it auto hiding verywell...00:45
James147fbianconi: you could upgrade to kde 4.5 (its in the backport repos, see the topic for a link), they changed the systray in that version so it now pops up a menu with the extra "hidden" icons in which disapears after a few seconds of moving the mouse away... (generally the systray and notifications have been improved in 4.5)00:47
fbianconiok, i'll give it a try00:47
James147fbianconi: but unfortinatly, I cannot remember the systray auto hiding properly in previous versions00:48
James147(although you might want to note that they changed allot of the icons in the sys tray to monochrome... not sure why they chose to do that but a few people have complained)00:49
fbianconithanks James147, bye00:54

DustyNOthings muted in the mixer I don't think02:19

DustyAh, PCM was all the way down, I guess the audio test doesn't use that02:20

vbgunzconnecting with the default network manager using wireless is a terrifying experience. Either it is severely broken on a fresh 10.04 usb created disk or it is excruciatingly impossible to understand it :( I enter everything right and nothing happens. where are the logs for this thing? it's just horrible :(04:10
=== root is now known as Guest72569
vbgunzmy connection last used. never. wpa/wpa2 personal, correct password, correct ssid, I even allowed the mac address onto the network from the router. this very same machine running windows XP right now connects without a problem. the network connections dialog is killing me. please tell me if their is an alternative04:13
jmichaelxvbgunz: yes, you could use nm-applet instead. also, what chipset is sued in your wireless adapter?04:19
jmichaelxused*04:19
avihayvbgunz: there are alternatives like wicd or nm-applet. but the kde network manager works fine for most04:19
vbgunzjmichaelx: not sure. this is a T400 lenovo notebook04:19
jmichaelxvbgunz: many people dislike how unintuitive the present kde network manager is04:20
vbgunzI keep putting in I have wpa/wpa2, I know the password is correct, I no joke checked it about 5 times. the ssid on the router is hidden *but* I know it's exact name. I do mac filtering on the router but I have this mac address included and it works in windows xp04:21
jmichaelxvbgunz: can you open a terminal and enter 'lspci'... you should be able to find a line that gives info on your wireless device04:21
vbgunzanyhow when I go to connect, it keeps telling my connection is insecure ... it just doesn't know about the wpa/wpa2 and its there...04:21
avihay!info wpasupplicant04:21
ubottuwpasupplicant (source: wpasupplicant): client support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i). In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.9-3ubuntu3 (lucid), package size 354 kB, installed size 920 kB04:21
vbgunzavihay: I need an internet connection to get that package?04:22
vbgunzheh, chicken and egg issue here :(04:22
jmichaelxvbgunz: you already have that package. you need to look for the info i asked you to look for04:22
vbgunzlspci shows me a couple things, I cannot copy and paste over, what should I be looking at?04:22
jmichaelxvbgunz: it should be obvious which line applies to you wireless network device04:23
vbgunznetwork controller? I see no wireless, I see ethernet too04:24
avihayI'm not sure you need it. it should be installed already, or maybe it's just wicd that uses it04:24
jmichaelxvbgunz: is your wireless dapter internal, or are you maybe using a usb device?04:24
vbgunzjmichaelx: yes I believe it is internal and the radio should be on04:25
vbgunzyes the radio is on, the only way I can currently tell is when I mess with it, the network manager checks/unchecks the enable wireless menu selection04:26
jmichaelxvbgunz: i would think in that case that you should be able to determien which line in the output of 'lspci' refers to your device, but there may be cases where it is not so clear04:26
vbgunzcommincation controller, ethernet controller, Network controller, that about narrows it down i hope04:27
jmichaelxdoes it list 'ethernet controller' and 'network controller' on 2 separate lines?04:27
vbgunzyes04:28
vbgunzethernet should be the wired connection (its not currently connected)04:28
jmichaelxthen i would likely guess that it the line that says 'network controller;04:28
vbgunzso network controller04:28
jmichaelxyes04:28
jmichaelxwhat does that line say?04:28
vbgunzjmichaelx:  intel/corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network connection04:29
vbgunzim gonna expose my routers ssid and see if I can walk through some of this04:30
macowait you're trying to connect on a hidden ssid?04:30
macothat's known not to work in the normal case. putting in the router's bssid *might* work04:31
jmichaelxvbgunz: you might also try doing a search on '5100 AGN' at the ubuntu forums04:31
vbgunz_I just exposed my routers ssid and now the network manager is picking up the correct security04:32
jmichaelxvbgunz: i agree with maco... broadcasting your ssid would probably make things a lot easier04:32
jmichaelxgood deal04:32
vbgunz_yeah but I know it letter for letter, its a name I can't get wrong04:32
jmichaelxvbgunz_: that doesn't necessarily make any difference04:32
vbgunz_one sec, gonna go through the prompts as minimilistic as possible04:32
vbgunz_just putting in the password at least I see some progress. when trying to manually enter this information. there is no ignition. seriously jump in a car without one, you'll understand my frustration04:34
vbgunz_I hope this works04:34
jmichaelxi do not get why the kde network manager is laid out the way it is.... you have make about 4  or 5 clicks just to see a list of available networks04:36
jmichaelxmaybe that is improved in kde4.5, have not checked04:37
vbgunz_I swear to absolutely everything in power and may all that I love get struck down, if you hide your ssid you might as well kiss your anus goodbye in trying to connect with the network manager. their has got to be an absolutely ugly bug here that stopped me. I went over every single detail and I already did this. I got everything right but couldn't connect :(04:37
vbgunz_btw, I am connected04:37
jmichaelxvbgunz_: you should probably just broadcast your ssid.... use wpa2, nobody is gonna bother you04:38
vbgunz_I had to show my ssid to do it... I fricking wish I had known that from the beginning04:38
jmichaelxawesome!04:38
vbgunz_jmichaelx: I live next to porn stars. I can't risk it04:38
vbgunz_dirty people over there04:38
jmichaelxvbgunz_: if you are using wpa2, you are not risking anything04:39
mpriceYa its pretty much impossible to crack wpa204:39
vbgunz_nah, im kidding about the porn stars man but you never know. I like my security like this. very effective with all the gagdets in my house. 1. hide the ssid. 2. wpa2. 3. mac filters. I am going over the list right now of devices filtered and I got 14 devices connect. the only nightmare I ever had with this router is by a Wii and this kubuntu install on the notebook :/04:41
jmichaelxhowever, if your porn star neighbors did use your WAP, i imagine that network traffic analysis could be fairly interesting :-P04:41
vbgunz_jmichaelx: haha, yup. fap2 security in the cribbo04:42
jmichaelxlol04:42
vbgunz_brb, gonna restart the router and hide the ssid. gonna see if this issue occurs again04:42
jmichaelxvbgunz_: however, you may not have much luck with hidden ssid.... with your MAC addy filtering and wpa2, you are definitely good as gold, if not gooder04:43
vbgunz_I cant disconnect atm. the wifey is working on something. anyhow, I once read an article on securing your router. pretty good read. hiding the ssid helps04:44
vbgunz_I mean give them hell. why not04:45
vbgunz_including me... damn...04:45
jmichaelxvbgunz_: it can help... but you may have no access if you use it... and frankly, with mac filtering and wpa2,  the only way into your network would be through social engineering or physical access to your machines or WAP04:46
vbgunz_ok brb, got 25 seconds04:46

codizzle3280hello17:57
codizzle3280I have been running ubuntu lucid for awhile now and a few days ago added the kde environment. I walked away from the computer earlier to comeback to a frozen screen. So... I did a hard reboot and bios is fine and then I get a blank screen for about 10 seconds, a few things flash very fast( cannot reAd ) and the monitor turns off. I did reboot like a billion times and once was able to get a kubuntu screen that says somehing along t17:57

AqazJames147: Any problems till now?18:28
terran4000_and edit that computers xorg.conf file to use VESA as the graphic driver18:28

codizzle3280lmao18:29
terran4000_but yeah, from what I learned: ATI HD + linux != happy days at first18:30
codizzle3280so as far as booting from a cd???18:30
terran4000_yeah ... unless you can get access to the root system in another way18:30
AqazJames147: What new did you find in it?18:30
James147Aqaz: not had any mojor problems with 4.5, some have had a few with kmail... not sure if they where sorted though (dont sue kmail)18:30
James147Aqaz: in kde4.5? more responsive, better orgnised system settings, better systray + notifications18:31
codizzle3280where is the xor.config file located?18:31
James147Aqaz: probally lots more I cant remember... been using it too long now :)18:31

codizzle3280lol18:32
codizzle3280ok18:32
terran4000_codizzle3280: be sure to edit the root systems xorg.conf file... not the boot cd's or whatnot.18:32

* terran4000_ does his best evil grin.18:33
phoenix_anyone experiencing high cpu usage18:34
James147phoenix_:  with what exactly?18:34
terran4000_codizzle3280: oh, I should mention this ... ATI HD + Linux + KDE + Compiz != enjoyment18:34
phoenix_James147:hello james18:34
terran4000_if you want STABLE compiz ... go with gnome18:34
Aqazphoenix: What does System Activity say? (Ctrl+Shift+Esc)18:34
James147terran4000_: why would you want compiz in kde?18:35
phoenix_James147: kde 4.5.118:35
terran4000_James147: I'm a sucker for shiney things18:35
James147phoenix_: I mean which programs are causing it? :)18:35
Aqazphoenix: Which i what i asked... Go to system Activity..18:35
James147terran4000_: but why compiz? kwin has its own effects18:35
phoenix_James147: particullarly chrome, but in general xorg takes a lot of cpu18:35
terran4000_James147: eh ... language problem then. By compiz I just meant all the pretty effects n' all.18:36
James147phoenix_: xorg does work  for other applications, try closing chrome and see how it behaves18:36
phoenix_James147:  i checked if my fan or heat sink is dirtly, it was clean18:36
Aqazphoenix: Yes.. chromium takes up almost 50%, its recommended not to use it18:36
AqazJames147: phoenix: chrome will reduce it drastically18:37
phoenix_James147: the shockwave is the reason i think18:37
phoenix_Aqaz: ya18:37
James147terran4000_: you mean compositing :) (compiz is a window manager for gnome that has lots of effects)18:37
phoenix_Aqaz: any browser with abode shockwave takes cpu18:37
James147Aqaz: it dosent here :S18:37
Aqazphoenix_: yep18:38
phoenix_James147: but its not just chrome,18:38
terran4000_James147: oh, yeah .. compositing. My apologies. I only remember the old days when compiz OR beryl where the in things. Soooo, compiz just kinda stuck with me at the word for compositing :)18:38
terran4000_flash/shockwave doesn't just take CPU power ...it hogs it like there is no tomorrow!18:38
* terran4000_ silently cheers for html518:38
* James147 wishes html5 would catch on faster18:39
phoenix_James147: just logged into windows to check , the cpu usage seems fine18:39
James147terran4000_: :D18:39
* Aqaz Yesp it will...18:39
James147phoenix_: I blame flash... flash has never worked well here :(18:39
terran4000_Flash never worked well period :-/18:40
Aqazphoenix_: Open chrome from terminal18:40
Aqazphoenix_: What does it say18:40
Aqazphoenix_: Show dmesg o/p18:40
* James147 wonders what he actually uses flash for atm... and goes to uninstall it to find out :D18:40
* Aqaz laughing18:41
codizzle32801ok so where do i place the command at in xorg.conf?18:42
Aqazphoenix_: ??18:42
phoenix_Aqaz: no output18:42
Aqazphoenix_: dmesg pastebin18:43
phoenix_Aqaz: i played some flash to test, got no message18:43
Aqazphoenix_: From where was flash installed?18:43
phoenix_Aqaz: you know google chrome comes with inbuilt flash plugin18:44
Aqazphoenix_: Is it? Whats the version?18:44
phoenix_Aqaz: i replaced the flash content plugin in firefox with gecko player. it was working fine18:44
Aqazphoenix_: 6.0.472.62??18:45
phoenix_Aqaz: ya the same18:45
AqazYa..18:45
phoenix_Aqaz: brb18:46
codizzle3280terran4000_: so where do i place the command in xorg.conf???18:46
terran4000_in xorg.conf ... you'll want to change:18:47

terran4000_Hm18:50
codizzle3280lmfao18:50
terran4000_well, if it was trying to still load the fglrx driver it could have been causing the problems18:50
terran4000_try loading it up with the vesa driver18:50
terran4000_and see what happens18:50
codizzle3280ok will do....18:51

terran4000_Hm18:57
terran4000_Why won't it let you edit it18:57

terran4000_go to #ubuntu for ubuntu18:59
terran4000_codizzle3280: hmm, ok.. how did you get access to that file?19:00
codizzle32802ran live cd....filesystem/etc/x11/19:00
James147codizzle3280: make sure you edit it as root ("kdesudo kate"    or "sudo nano")19:00
terran4000_oo19:01
terran4000_codizzle3280: I think you possibly opened the wrong file system ...19:01
terran4000_did you open the one of the hard drive or the one on the cd accidently? :)19:01
codizzle32802hdd19:01
codizzle32802for sure19:02
James147codizzle3280: did you open it as root?19:02
codizzle32802have to be admin19:02
codizzle32802owner19:02
codizzle32802???19:02
James147codizzle3280: "kdesudo kate /path/to/filesystem/etc/X11/xorg.conf"   (replacing /path/to/filesystem with the path to your mounted hdd) and edit it in the window that appears19:03

=== Aqaz is now known as Lavanya
codizzle32801terran4000_: im not doing this right.... i am booting from a ubuntu live cd.....19:11
terran4000_codizzle3280: yar19:12
terran4000_then you need to find the hard drive19:12
codizzle32801iknow19:12
terran4000_then you need to mount said hard drive19:12
codizzle32801it is mounted....19:12
terran4000_oki19:12
terran4000_so19:13
terran4000_open the hard drive19:13

terran4000_hmm19:13
terran4000_>_> I love you too FloodBotK1!19:13
codizzle32801lmao19:13
terran4000_So ... open up that hd, and nagivate to something like: /mount/SDDA1/etc/X11/xorg.conf19:14
terran4000_ya?19:14
terran4000_well, you need to open up that file as root it seems ... not 100% sure though19:14
codizzle32801ok19:14
terran4000_I try to avoid boot cd's like the plague >_>19:14
James147terran4000_: boot cd or not, /etc/X11/xorg.conf is a system file owned by root, and only writable by root so you need root to edit it19:15
=== mren|off is now known as mren
terran4000_If you boot from a CD .. and mount a hard drive ... /mnt/myHD/etc/x11/xorg.conf won't really be owned by root.19:16
terran4000_It's not an encrypted drive19:16
James147terran4000_: but the live cds obay the filesystem premissions of the mounted disk19:17
terran4000_James147: hm I guess ... maybe I never noticed since the first thing I do when I use a boot cd is: sudo -s19:17
terran4000_:-P19:17
terran4000_oops? :)19:17
James147(premissions and ownership are in the filesystem on the disk... so any unix system that mounts them will obay the premissions)19:18
James147terran4000_: that logs you in as root... so you have root19:18
terran4000_yeah I know ... Like I said. most likely I didn't notice :)19:18
codizzle3280so how do i gain permission to access root from live cd?19:19
James147codizzle3280: "kdesudo kate /path/to/filesystem/etc/X11/xorg.conf" (replacing /path/to/filesystem with the path to your mounted hdd) and edit it in the window that appears19:19
James147kdesudo will open kate as root19:20
codizzle3280in ubuntu terminal19:20
James147codizzle3280: in ubuntu? use "gtksudo gedit ..." then (i think its gtksudo anyway... :S )19:20
James147or you can do "sudo nano /path/..." to get a command line eidtor19:21
* James147 uses vi :D19:21
phoenix_James147: the high cpu usage problem is due to hardware.19:22
codizzle3280how do i find the path to the filesystem?19:22
James147phoenix_: what hardware?19:22
James147codizzle3280: its the path to where your hdd is mounted19:23
phoenix_James147: its not actually high cpu usage, its the cpu temp, 67  degree in air conditioned room , casing fully opened19:23
phoenix_James147: today i even replaced the thermal paste19:23
phoenix_James147: when i am in bios settings the cpu fan runs around 4500 rpm19:24
phoenix_James147: i guess my processor is failing19:25
James147phoenix_: hmm, didnt think 67C would be damaging to a cpu... although if thats at idle... also what cpu do you have?19:26
phoenix_James147: intel pentium 4 ht 3.0 ghz19:27
James147phoenix_: quite old now  :)  not sure what temps they can handle19:27
vbgunzmy sda disk keeps defaulting to the noop scheduler. I've tried all I could and I have no idea witw is happening. I tried 'echo cfq | sudo tee /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler' and I change it. I cat the file and get 'noop deadline [cfq]' ... I even update grub at /etc/default/grub.cfg and add elevator=cfq, run a sudo update-grub and all is good. **but** when I reboot, sda defaults back to noop... this is driving me nuts :|19:28
phoenix_James147: mine is the fastest fan exported by intel that is bundled with cpu19:28
