| bullgard4 | [in Tilda:] '~$ mc /sys/power; TERM environment variable needs set.' I reported this to Launchpad. The bug persists even after the big distribution upgrade yesterday. How to patch this bug temporarily? | 06:22 |
| bullgard4 | '~$ env | grep TERM' does not produce any output. But on my Lucid computer: '~$ env | grep TERM; TERM=xterm.' Where should I set the TERM environment variable? | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | gee.. i just 'echo $TERM' | 06:50 |
| Dr_Willis | $ echo $TERM | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | xterm | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | It really should be getting set as part of the scripts.. xterm is not always the proper 'setting' for TERM. | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | You could set it in your .bashrc if you wanted to. but thats proberly overkill. | 06:51 |
| bullgard4 | Dr_Willis: '~$ echo "$TERM"; dumb'. How should it change that to obtain the result '~$ echo "$TERM"; xterm'? | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | export TERM=xterm | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | its just a envuiroment variable you set like any other | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Its supposed to be set up where the startup scripts determine your proper 'terminal' and set it properly | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | this is from a normal xterm you are getting this? or where exactly? | 07:17 |
| bullgard4 | I am getting it in a GNOME terminal. | 07:19 |

| pdwgg | Ops, it only showed half the things I typed. | 09:44 |
| pdwgg | oh now shows everything.. something wrong with my xchat xd. | 09:45 |
| pdwgg | It says that I need to install adobe flash. So I pressed install, then it brings me to a page saying that Your Google Chrome browser already includes the latest Adobe® Flash® Player built-in. | 09:47 |
| shazzr | pdwgg: You could try to go to chrome.google.com and download Google Chrome...not sure if it'll help, but Chromium is after all a different thing. | 09:51 |

| GMSPENCE____ | Hi guys can anyone help me.... upgraded to maverick and my remote desktop stopped working....fired up the vino preferences from the admin menu, however it says "your desktop is only reachable on the local network....others can access your computer using the address localhost. (in lucid it used to display the ip address of the computer on the network). have set the computer up with static ip. any suggestions? | 10:37 |
| pmjp | hi :) | 10:48 |
| pmjp | hi maedox | 10:49 |
| maedox | pmjp: hi | 10:50 |
| TiK | GMSPENCE____: did you forward 5800 and 5900 in your router? | 10:50 |
| pmjp | so is it worth upgrading to the beta | 10:50 |
| pmjp | Im running the netbook version | 10:51 |
| TiK | i've ban maverick since alpha | 10:51 |
| TiK | er ran | 10:51 |
| pmjp | and? | 10:51 |
| TiK | m4rtin: if you are tlkaing about the display settings there are fixes already | 10:51 |
| TiK | it works well | 10:51 |
| m4rtin | TiK: all was nice until I installed ATI proprietary drivers | 10:52 |
| m4rtin | now it's thoroughly messed | 10:52 |
| GMSPENCE____ | TIk - port forwarding not necessary...it's a local network connection. not using it externally | 10:52 |
| GMSPENCE____ | but yeah for external connections 58 and 5900 forwarded | 10:52 |
| TiK | oh i misread | 10:53 |
| TiK | hold | 10:53 |
| GMSPENCE____ | if i ssh into the machine and launch x11vnc i can get a vnc connection.... so the problem is lying with vino-server from what i can make out | 10:53 |
| pmjp | thanks guys later | 10:54 |
| m4rtin | GMSPENCE____: old thread, but http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=8742 says that there is no way to specify the listen host for vino | 10:54 |
| TiK | GMSPENCE____: localhost just means | 10:54 |
| TiK | the local ip | 10:54 |
| m4rtin | TiK: actually, it doesn't; it means the loopback address | 10:54 |
| m4rtin | which is only accessible from that single device | 10:54 |
| GMSPENCE____ | yup there lies my problem | 10:55 |
| TiK | "only reachable on the local network" ie no exteral connections | 10:55 |
| GMSPENCE____ | can one of u guys check ur install and see if it is just my machine? | 10:55 |
| TiK | so whats your issue? | 10:55 |
| TiK | local network != localhost | 10:55 |
| TiK | ok | 10:55 |
| TiK | i can do that | 10:55 |
| m4rtin | so the issue is, if vino listens on localhost, no device on the network can reach it | 10:56 |
| TiK | it has my local ip and my desktop | 10:56 |
| GMSPENCE____ | in lucid it used to give the local network ip address... 192.168.1.2 | 10:56 |
| m4rtin | GMSPENCE____: could be an issue when it's statically set | 10:56 |
| m4rtin | can you try with DHCP and see if that resolves it? | 10:56 |
| TiK | mine gives the local ip addy | 10:57 |
| GMSPENCE____ | don't have network manager installed just realised | 10:57 |
| GMSPENCE____ | i specified my ip address using /etc/network/interfaces | 10:57 |
| GMSPENCE____ | hmmm i wonder | 10:57 |
| m4rtin | GMSPENCE____: that sounds probable... although still undesirable behaviour | 10:58 |
| GMSPENCE____ | what's the package name for the network manager again? just NetworkManager? | 10:59 |
| TiK | heh | 10:59 |
| TiK | no idea | 10:59 |
| GMSPENCE____ | away to restart back soon | 11:00 |
| m4rtin | k k | 11:01 |
| GMSPENCE____ | oh wait i just realised why i no want network manager installed | 11:01 |
| GMSPENCE____ | i'm using that box as a dhcp server as well.... | 11:01 |
| m4rtin | GMSPENCE____: is that a problem? Set interface to static in network manager | 11:04 |
| m4rtin | in fact, network manager should detect that it's static from etc network interfaces | 11:04 |
| GMSPENCE____ | and it won't conflict with dhcp no? | 11:04 |
| GMSPENCE____ | i've always just removed it every time i've done a reinstall as i remember way back as far as ibex it was causing problems | 11:05 |
| m4rtin | GMSPENCE____: as far as I'm aware, no... never done that setup, but it's certainly respected my static preferences in recent releases | 11:05 |
| GMSPENCE____ | ok it's installing just now | 11:06 |
| GMSPENCE____ | will give it a bash | 11:06 |
| m4rtin | oh dear | 11:08 |
| m4rtin | that didn't look good | 11:08 |
| gmspence_____ | back | 11:12 |
| gmspence_____ | ok installed network manager - but no devices are showing up to set the preferences for | 11:12 |
| m4rtin | * GMSPENCE____ has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | 11:12 |
| m4rtin | <m4rtin> oh dear | 11:12 |
| m4rtin | <m4rtin> that didn't look good | 11:12 |
| gmspence_____ | stumped | 11:12 |
| m4rtin | hmm, but does vino now detect it? | 11:12 |
| TiK | heh | 11:13 |
| m4rtin | it could be that there are no preferences because it's set in interfaces | 11:13 |
| m4rtin | if not: ubuntu-bug vino | 11:13 |
| m4rtin | and report that it doesn't correctly detect the IP when set via interfaces | 11:13 |
| gmspence_____ | me thinks i'm gonna have to go down that route | 11:14 |
| gmspence_____ | oh well | 11:14 |
| m4rtin | there are other vnc kits you can try to accomplish the same thing | 11:15 |
| m4rtin | but they are less visually orientated for setup than vino | 11:16 |
| m4rtin | otherwise, you can setup ssh forwarding | 11:16 |
| m4rtin | so get ssh listening on the network address, forwarding to localhost | 11:16 |
| m4rtin | oh, also: | 11:17 |
| m4rtin | http://www.bani.com.br/lang/en/2007/04/hidden-features-of-vino-remote-desktop-access/ | 11:17 |
| m4rtin | you might be able to set ip:port in alternative_port | 11:17 |
| gmspence_____ | having a look just now.... | 11:19 |

| sobczyk | hi, anyone can help me with no sound problem? alsamixer shows all channels are there, kde4 controls shows my sound card and hdmi card, but no sound comes out of th speakers... | 11:56 |
| sobczyk | is happened yesterday, The sound was fine then I plugged in heaphones, and I had no more sound anymore, even after unplugging | 11:59 |
| sobczyk | untill pulseaudio introduction all worked much better, I had even possibility to adjust channels for my speakser.... | 12:07 |
| sobczyk | thanks to crappy pa I had to kill virtualbox (it didi not start) and lost all my work uhh I should thank the person that invented that problematic program that didn't solve any problems but introduced new ones | 12:29 |
| Azelphur | sobczyk: wait, your complaining that an alpha version of an operating system is unstable? | 12:35 |
| Azelphur | oh no wait, it's beta now isn't it. | 12:35 |
| sobczyk | alpha? | 12:35 |
| sobczyk | PA is alpha? | 12:35 |
| Azelphur | Ubuntu Maverick is beta | 12:35 |
| yofel | pa + phonon work fine here, even when un-/plugging the headphones - then again, I only use simple stereo sound here | 12:36 |
| Azelphur | that said, after a recent update on maverick I've been having sound problems, flash sound and wine sound no longer work :( | 12:36 |
| Azelphur | anyone else having problems with it? | 12:36 |
| sobczyk | software not starting because PA is down is not even alpha | 12:37 |
| sobczyk | I killed pa, started it manually and sound works | 12:37 |
| sobczyk | only problem is there is no sound setting directly in kde | 12:38 |
| Azelphur | also, pulseaudio is beta too btw :) | 12:38 |
| Azelphur | pulseaudio v 0.9.21, and pulseaudio does solve lots of problems | 12:38 |
| sobczyk | btw might I ask why there is no channel setting in PA | 12:38 |
| sobczyk | I could set independently front (laptop speakers) or center (headphones) | 12:39 |
| sobczyk | in alsa | 12:39 |
| penguin42 | pa seems to work these days for me better than without - although IA32-libs is currently broken meaning that flash is broken | 12:39 |
| sobczyk | Azelphur: what does it solve for end user that I'm not aware of? | 12:40 |
| Azelphur | sobczyk: mainly per-application volume control | 12:42 |
| Azelphur | (imo, I don't know much about pulse) | 12:42 |
| sobczyk | it somehow worked for me bofore PA | 12:42 |
| Azelphur | penguin42: ah, so that's whats causing my flash and wine to have no sound :) | 12:42 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: Flash certainly if you are on 64bit; not sure about wine | 12:42 |
| Azelphur | Is there a bug report open? I'm waiting on that fix :p | 12:43 |
| Azelphur | yea I'm on 64bit, and wine is a 32bit application as it doesn't do CPU emulation | 12:43 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: Yeh hang on, I'll find it - if you roll back to ia32-libs_20090808ubuntu4_amd64.deb it fixes it | 12:43 |
| Azelphur | cool :P | 12:43 |
| penguin42 | hmm my original is bug 647538 | 12:44 |

| Azelphur | cool :) | 12:44 |
| Azelphur | ty | 12:44 |

| andycc | penguin42: Subscribe to what? | 12:47 |
| * penguin42 wonders wth to do with that bug; it's appeared in the last week of the beta and now stuff has frozen I don't know if it will get fixed, or if it'll get done almost immediately after release | 12:47 | |
| penguin42 | andycc: Sorry, not you - I meant Azelphur | 12:47 |
| andycc | Oh, sorry :D | 12:48 |
| Azelphur | yea :) | 12:48 |
| Azelphur | andycc: apparently audio with 32bit applications, such as flash just broke on 64bit :p | 12:48 |
| Azelphur | might effect you, probably be fixed before too long. | 12:48 |
| andycc | Azelphur: well I guess I'm lucky I'm on 32-bit... | 12:48 |

| robisinho | hey, I was following instructions here http://crashbit.homelinux.com/node/1770 to get 3d working on my computer | 12:50 |
| robisinho | after I installed nouveau-firmware package, my keyboard isnt responsive in x windows -- except if I replug it in at the login | 12:50 |
| robisinho | so .. I uninstalled the package and .. the behavior did n ot revert! | 12:51 |
| robisinho | how can I fix this? I tried reinstalling gdm | 12:51 |
| www2 | hi all | 12:51 |
| robisinho | its got to be something specific to nouveau instead | 12:51 |
| robisinho | I would guess | 12:51 |
| www2 | i hef some problem wit reading .htaccess file | 12:51 |
| penguin42 | robisinho: Hmm a little odd, do you have a xorg.conf ? | 12:52 |
| www2 | site confit http://pastebin.org/1206879 | 12:52 |
| robisinho | no, I had to remove my olkd xorg.conf to get startx to work after first upgrading to 10.10 | 12:52 |
| penguin42 | robisinho: It's an odd interaction; input and graphics driver; when it doesn't work maybe look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 12:53 |
| robisinho | penguin42, let me boot it up | 12:54 |
| Azelphur | penguin42: where do I get ia32-libs_20090808ubuntu4_amd64.deb? | 12:54 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: I found it on ftp.ubuntu.com in something like ubuntu/pool/universe/i/ia32-libs | 12:56 |
| Azelphur | ty :) | 12:56 |
| robisinho | one thing I notice right away is I seem to be getting two of everything | 12:57 |
| robisinho | theres two echos for the nouveau driver coming online, near the top, for example | 12:57 |
| robisinho | ooh wait thats | 12:58 |
| yofel | from /var/cache/apt/archives if you still have it or try to search the out-of-sync mirrors, as the package should have been deleted from most by now | 12:58 |
| yofel | Azelphur: ^ | 12:58 |
| robisinho | it says LoadModule "nv" -- but then the NOUVEAU driver is the one responding | 12:58 |
| robisinho | there's a huge block of errors - (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPUTCMAP: invalid argument | 12:59 |
| penguin42 | yofel: I really wish there was a buffer of one version somewhere | 13:00 |
| Azelphur | yea, I found it | 13:00 |
| penguin42 | yofel: Was it you that spotted the missing 's' in the squid.conf init file I showed last week? | 13:00 |
| Azelphur | uploading it just in case anyone needs it | 13:00 |
| Azelphur | yup wine sound works now :D | 13:01 |
| robisinho | penguin42, the main thing that looks like an obvious error is the couple hundred FBIOPUTCMAP errors | 13:01 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: The downside is that it has an older Mesa that for me is broken :-( | 13:01 |
| ubuntu | hello, I downloaded kubuntu 10.10 daily-live and when I try to install nothing happens, can someone help? | 13:02 |
| Azelphur | yup flash works too, when the upload is done I'll put a download link on your bug report penguin42 :) | 13:02 |
| penguin42 | ubuntu: Yeh there is a screw up in the installer, there is a fix somewhere | 13:02 |
| robisinho | penguin42, there's 717 of those | 13:02 |
| penguin42 | robisinho: Want to pastebin your log somewhere? | 13:02 |
| yofel | penguin42: buffer: +1 squid: yes | 13:02 |
| robisinho | ooh | 13:02 |
| ubuntu | penguin42: oh | 13:03 |
| robisinho | yeah I might be able to figure out how to do that without a keyobard, let me futz around with it | 13:03 |
| penguin42 | ubuntu: Now, if there was a log of this channel yesterday I could find where we'd discussed the same thing | 13:03 |
| yofel | !logs | 13:03 |

| penguin42 | ubuntu: See http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/09/25/%23ubuntu+1.txt at about 13:14 | 13:05 |
| penguin42 | ubuntu: It's a really small 2 character change in a python script but I'm not sure where the script lives! | 13:06 |
| robisinho | penguin42, Im not going to be able to load the url for a pastebin. got any ideas .. like how I can do that from the console? | 13:06 |
| penguin42 | robisinho: pastebinit | 13:06 |
| ubuntu | /usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/misc.py it seems | 13:06 |
| penguin42 | robisinho: It's a package that uploads to pastebins from the command line | 13:06 |
| penguin42 | we really do need a bot that can recognise similar questions :-) | 13:07 |
| ubuntu | yay, it works | 13:07 |
| ubuntu | penguin42, yofel: thank you | 13:07 |
| robisinho | penguin42, thanks -- http://pastebin.com/T79HXYfQ | 13:08 |
| penguin42 | robisinho: Well the FBIOPUTCMAP are probably related to the nouveu driver stuff at a guess, unlikely to be input | 13:09 |
| robisinho | penguin42, I uninstalled the nouveau-firmware already | 13:10 |
| robisinho | penguin42, my system was at that point in the installation guide after a vanilla 10.10 upgrade | 13:10 |
| penguin42 | robisinho: but there are a few No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring) - but they seem to be related to the mouse and wacom pad and not hte keyboard, so I don't know | 13:11 |
| robisinho | penguin42, yea Im reading that those fbioputcmap errors are harmless | 13:12 |
| robisinho | but there sure are a lot of them :P | 13:13 |
| robisinho | penguin42, whats weird to me is, my system was working just fine. I do one command, apt-get install nouveau-firmware, and the keyboard stops working .. then I uninstall it and .. the system doesnt revert. | 13:13 |
| penguin42 | robisinho: Have you done a dpkg --purge nouveau-firmware ? | 13:14 |
| penguin42 | robisinho: Also, did apt-get install any extra packages ? | 13:14 |
| robisinho | no, thank you, I'll try -- I did pastebinit | 13:14 |
| robisinho | and I did reinstall gdm | 13:14 |
| robisinho | trying to debug | 13:14 |
| robisinho | penguin42, I had done sudo apt-get remove nouveau-firmware | 13:15 |
| robisinho | dpkg wont let me purge it since it is already uninstalled .. I guess I could reinstall it and purge it :) | 13:16 |
| penguin42 | robisinho: it sometimes leaves some /etc files around - but still I'd say it's unlikely to be the actual problem with the keyboard input | 13:16 |
| robisinho | penguin42, obviously it left something though | 13:16 |
| penguin42 | robisinho: To be honest it feels more like something else happened at a similar time | 13:17 |
| robisinho | penguin42, yeah? but I havent installed nor uninstalled anything else at all .. well, there's the automatic system updates from that morning, but I think I even rebooted after that | 13:19 |
| penguin42 | robisinho: Yeh I know, but it doesn't feel like it's related | 13:19 |
| robisinho | there was also one other thing, earlier that day I installed libphysfs1 and lincity-ng .. which didnt work either, but for a different reason) :P | 13:20 |
| robisinho | penguin42, no it is definitely the nouveau-firmware package, nothing else changed | 13:20 |
| robisinho | earlier I maganed to get xev to execute .. I cant remember how now, because the numberpad enter key doesnt work in x, but the numberpad arrow keys do | 13:23 |
| robisinho | anyway xev shows the keypress events | 13:23 |
| penguin42 | <breakfast> | 13:26 |
| robisinho | ooh I just remembered -- I copied and pasted a return into the terminal :) | 13:28 |
| robisinho | I could have pastebinned without pastebinit :) | 13:28 |
| sobczyk | heh, dolphin crashes when I browse dropbox folders | 13:32 |
| tillux | Hi all. Is there a way to emulate a multitouch device by using multiple pointers via xi2? (e.g. by making use of two mice) | 13:43 |
| robisinho | how can I reinstall the whole xorg stuff? I think I might be better off doing that | 13:47 |
| anon33_ | how do i update my vim to the latest (7.3)? | 13:56 |
| TheInfinity | by compiling it for yourself and make an own package | 13:57 |
| penguin42 | anon33_: Debian seems to have 7.3.x packages in sid; you could grab there source package and rebuild it | 14:00 |
| Veliourass | hello | 14:03 |
| penguin42 | hi | 14:03 |
| Veliourass | i just upgraded my acer netbook to 10.10 but nothing is functioning, i have no menu, mouse or programs | 14:04 |
| Veliourass | what should i do? | 14:04 |
| penguin42 | Veliourass: What do you see on the screen? | 14:05 |
| Veliourass | nothing | 14:05 |
| penguin42 | what's the last thing you see before it goes blank? | 14:05 |
| Veliourass | the only thing i see is a cursor if i plug in a usb drive, otherwise nothing | 14:05 |
| penguin42 | Veliourass: Does ctrl-alt-f1 switch to a text console ? | 14:06 |
| Veliourass | ubuntu logo | 14:06 |
| Veliourass | penguin42 yes | 14:06 |
| penguin42 | Veliourass: OK, do you know which graphics card you have? | 14:06 |
| Veliourass | no | 14:07 |
| Veliourass | :) | 14:07 |
| penguin42 | Veliourass: OK, what does lspci | grep -i vga say ? | 14:07 |
| Veliourass | hold on | 14:08 |
| Veliourass | i can not log in! | 14:09 |
| Veliourass | i have a screen asking for username and password | 14:09 |
| penguin42 | and what happens if you use your normal username/password - or doesn't it let you type the username? | 14:10 |
| Veliourass | it does but it does not accept it | 14:10 |
| robisinho | anyone know how to connect to the wireless network from the console? | 14:11 |
| anon33_ | ugh - how do i copy the same build arguments and environment variables that my current vim is set at? | 14:11 |
| * TheInfinity would recomment to reinstall lucid @ Veliourass - maverick is beta and its difficult to debug it. :) | 14:11 | |
| TheInfinity | robisinho: wpa_supplicant | 14:11 |
| penguin42 | anon33_: If you grab the debian package, the chance is that if you just rebuild the package it'll pick up the same settings (it's possible Ubuntu add some packages, I've not checked) | 14:12 |
| Veliourass | ok thanks | 14:12 |
| anon33_ | penguin42: i don't really know what you mean by grabbing the debian package - sorry | 14:12 |
| robisinho | TheInfinity, wpa_supplicant with what options to load my standard configuration? | 14:12 |
| penguin42 | anon33_: OK, so you'll have to stick with the version of vim that's in maverick; or explore how packaging works | 14:12 |
| TheInfinity | robisinho: man wpa_supplicant will help | 14:13 |
| TheInfinity | robisinho: but - you cant use your network manager profile | 14:13 |
| robisinho | TheInfinity, I see -- it doesnt actually connect wlan0, it acts as a raw snoop on a wireless network -- thanks but thats not what Im looking for | 14:14 |
| robisinho | I need to actually connect | 14:14 |
| TheInfinity | robisinho: you cant use your NetworkManager (GUI) settings at any command line wireless tools if you try this. you have to resetup :) | 14:15 |
| robisinho | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiTroubleshooting -- it says here sudo ifup wlan0 should do it but .. I have a wireless network that doesnt broadcast so I think for that reason I cant just do a plain vanilla sudo ifup | 14:15 |
| penguin42 | TheInfinity: I'm not sure that's true, there is an nmcli that I found yesterday, I've not tried it but it looks promising | 14:16 |
| TheInfinity | penguin42: ok, this would be quite new. and networkmanager stores keys in gnome keyring, i dont know how a cli version could access them ... | 14:17 |
| penguin42 | TheInfinity: Ah probably true if you have keys, although I guess it might be possible to unlock the keyring from a comman dline | 14:17 |
| robisinho | TheInfinity, but I dont use wep | 14:18 |
| robisinho | so all my config settings are in etc | 14:18 |
| robisinho | like /etc/network/if-up.d/wpasupplicant | 14:19 |
| robisinho | but wlan0 is already up | 14:20 |
| robisinho | just not connected | 14:20 |
| === iConfused is now known as iConfused|away | ||
| yofel | wpa_supplicant is used to connect to all wireless networks, encryption or not, but you need a wpa_supplicant.conf if you don't use NM | 14:22 |
| yofel | /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples/ shows a few examples and see the wpa_supplicant.conf manpage | 14:23 |

| penguin42 | yofel: What's kind of surreal is that a fix just went in for squid not starting immediately post-installation, but no one seems to have made sure at the time it survived a reboot | 14:25 |

| Veliourass | but iget a command like "no init found. try passing init=bootarg" | 14:33 |
| Veliourass | then what? | 14:33 |
| Veliourass | now i see something like (initramfs) | 14:34 |
| knittl | hi guys. font in menu entries is broken in helper application. any poniters? | 14:41 |
| knittl | * pointers | 14:41 |
| anon33_ | could anyone help me set up vim 7.3 with the same configuration environment on meerkat? | 14:41 |
| knittl | anon33_: hm? | 14:41 |
| knittl | simply copy the config file | 14:42 |
| anon33_ | knittl: where's that stored? | 14:42 |
| knittl | that depends. systemwide is /etc/vim/vimrc, userconfig is ~/.vimrc | 14:42 |
| anon33_ | knittl: oh, not those settings - the environment that vim is compiled with (do vim --version) | 14:43 |
| knittl | Huge version without GUI. | 14:43 |
| knittl | install the correct package? vim-full vim-tiny vim-runtime vim-extra vim-… | 14:43 |
| knittl | it's vim 7.2 here btw | 14:44 |
| yofel | anon33_: the configure options are in the debian/rules file in the source package | 14:44 |
| anon33_ | yofel: i'd like to copy the configuration options that are set for the 7.2 environment | 14:44 |
| yofel | and the ubuntu package has a few modifications from the debian package which makes merging them a bit time-consuming | 14:45 |
| yofel | anon33_: well, the ./configure ... line is in debian/rules, copy the right one from there | 14:45 |
| robisinho | how can I reinstall the whole xorg subsystem? is there anything like sudo apt-get install --autoreinstall ? or something to reinstall all the dependant packages ? | 14:45 |
| penguin42 | robisinho: There are many packages and you could do a reinstall on every one, I still doubt it would solve your keyboard problem | 14:46 |
| knittl | looks like this: http://en.dogeno.us/2010/01/fix-garbage-menu-fonts-in-evince-karmicubuntu-9-10/ | 14:47 |
| knittl | http://en.dogeno.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/2010010602.png – my entries have numbers inside the squares | 14:48 |
| yofel | well, depends on the font, squares in general means missing charakters in the used font | 14:48 |
| robisinho | penguin42, yeah .. especially since at least one package is writing changes somewhere that it doesnt track, or the uninstall would have fixed it.. but Ive got to try something | 14:49 |
| knittl | yofel: i tried changing fonts (dejavu, libertine, sans, times) | 14:49 |
| penguin42 | (Does yelp still give lots of squares for people - it has done for at least 6 months ?) | 14:49 |
| yofel | either that or it's trying to use characters that don't exist anywhere (which would be a bug) | 14:49 |
| knittl | it's only in help | 14:50 |
| knittl | find and find again + 3 entries in about are readable | 14:52 |
| taomaster | is there a way to upgrade to 10.10 when in 10.4.1 lts? | 14:53 |

| knittl | or wait 2 weeks | 14:54 |
| taomaster | are you using 10.10? | 14:54 |
| knittl | yes | 14:54 |
| taomaster | no isuues? | 14:54 |
| packrat_ | hey guys, trying to track down a bug in the beta. | 14:54 |
| knittl | yofel: do entries work in your help-application? | 14:54 |
| knittl | taomaster: right now no | 14:55 |
| yofel | I don't use gnome | 14:55 |
| knittl | but there will be | 14:55 |
| knittl | hm. anybody else? open help and see if menu looks ok. please :) | 14:55 |
| packrat_ | on it. | 14:55 |
| packrat_ | WOAH | 14:55 |
| packrat_ | uh no | 14:55 |
| packrat_ | its broke | 14:55 |
| knittl | ok, so it's really a bug and not me | 14:56 |
| packrat_ | well not completely broke but all the icons are screwy | 14:56 |
| knittl | icons? i'm talking bout the font | 14:56 |
| packrat_ | what are you seeing? | 14:56 |
| knittl | squares with numbers in them | 14:56 |
| packrat_ | i got that at the top | 14:56 |
| knittl | like characters are missing in a font | 14:56 |
| packrat_ | oh thats what that is? | 14:57 |
| packrat_ | haha dude even if you hover over it | 14:57 |
| packrat_ | you get more. | 14:57 |
| * duffydack weeps silently for fglrx | 14:57 | |
| packrat_ | ? | 14:57 |
| packrat_ | are they killing it? | 14:57 |
| IdleOne | knittl: getting same here | 14:58 |
| knittl | hm. wondering nobody noticed so far | 14:58 |
| packrat_ | agreed. its a bug | 14:58 |
| packrat_ | knittl - you really think anyone actually reads the help? | 14:58 |
| IdleOne | knittl: I never use the help menu :/ | 14:58 |
| knittl | me neither | 14:59 |
| packrat_ | worked for a software house once where the help was to major releases out of date. no one noticed for a year. | 14:59 |
| knittl | but i thought my system was broken (it often is) | 14:59 |
| knittl | packrat_: well, it's not the help that is broken it's the help viewer | 14:59 |
| packrat_ | anyone seen some resolution strangeness from the login window? | 14:59 |

| packrat_ | is alsa seeing it ? | 15:01 |
| AKPP | are you asking me? | 15:02 |
| knittl | woah, this bug has a lot of dupes | 15:02 |
| headstrong | AKPP: change your sound output setting to the alsa | 15:02 |
| packrat_ | akpp: can you see the...yeah do what headstrong sed. | 15:02 |
| AKPP | how? i'm a giant noob :) | 15:02 |
| headstrong | ... | 15:03 |
| packrat_ | -_- | 15:03 |
| headstrong | AKPP: if you cure your sound delay, it's the bug of pulseaudio | 15:03 |
| packrat_ | knittl - *poke poke* | 15:03 |
| AKPP | okay look | 15:03 |
| knittl | packrat_: yes | 15:03 |
| knittl | i'm here :) | 15:03 |
| packrat_ | knittl: you notice any video issues yet? r u using ati? or nvidia | 15:04 |
| knittl | i'm using nvidia | 15:04 |
| packrat_ | crap. | 15:04 |
| knittl | the only problem i had – and probably still have – is no suspend with nouveau | 15:04 |
| packrat_ | nvidia is typically better. | 15:04 |
| packrat_ | that seems to be working on this one. | 15:04 |
| AKPP | headstrong my only two sound output options are internal audio or my gfx card. my sound works fine for everything except youtube and similar | 15:05 |
| packrat_ | my loginwindow is a diff res then my desktop | 15:05 |
| headstrong | AKPP: then you can focus on flash relatives now | 15:05 |
| knittl | packrat_: maybe nvidia is setting it wrongly | 15:06 |
| knittl | have a look at your xorg.conf | 15:06 |
| AKPP | headstrong, i was hoping you could maybe tell me what my problem was | 15:06 |
| packrat_ | knittl: using the opensource ati thingie. i looked around for it, but i cant find it! | 15:06 |
| knittl | hmm, then i don't know | 15:07 |
| packrat_ | knittl: i didnt know if they moved it or what | 15:07 |
| knittl | i'm a rather happy nvidia-user :D | 15:07 |
| headstrong | AKPP: sorry, i don't use flash,activex or java and etc. | 15:07 |
| AKPP | alright | 15:07 |
| packrat_ | knittl: main box runs a 9800gtx - this is an ibm t41...no nvidia... | 15:07 |
| knittl | packrat_: no, it's still in the same place, but not needed anymore | 15:07 |
| packrat_ | knittl: so if its not needed anymore, then that would be why i cant see it? | 15:08 |
| packrat_ | a default install, it wouldnt exist aye? | 15:08 |
| knittl | packrat_: not needed = deleted by default | 15:08 |
| packrat_ | knittl: ah. so here is where the bug may lie. | 15:09 |
| headstrong | on a new box, even a built-in graphic chip is fast as a nvidia gforce 6200 or more | 15:09 |
| headstrong | without the fglrx driver | 15:09 |
| packrat_ | knittl: when i try to set the resolution and make it default i get an error | 15:09 |
| knittl | fixed yelp :D | 15:09 |
| penguin42 | knittl: Yeh? | 15:10 |
| Acidphase | does anyone know if there was a fix for 10.9 catalyst and Xorg 1.9/linux 2.6.35 setup that maverick uses ? | 15:10 |
| Acidphase | or is ATI just being retarded again | 15:10 |
| knittl | penguin42: now it won't be translated, but i use an english system, so that does not hurt me | 15:10 |
| packrat_ | AH a fellow ati user! | 15:10 |
| knittl | penguin42: renaming yelp.mo helps | 15:11 |
| Acidphase | lol | 15:11 |
| Acidphase | I'm not going past my current kernel till these guys get their shit together | 15:11 |
| packrat_ | Acid: i think im using the open source thing. Catalyst crashed my setup last time i tried to use it. | 15:11 |
| Acidphase | yep | 15:12 |
| Acidphase | which is why I'm in Lucid | 15:12 |
| penguin42 | I think I read fglrx finally works on 10.10 - but I'm using the open driver | 15:12 |
| Acidphase | =P | 15:12 |
| penguin42 | Acidphase: Which card? | 15:12 |
| Acidphase | 5870 | 15:12 |
| Acidphase | os[Linux 2.6.35-14-generic x86_64] distro[Ubuntu "lucid" 10.04] cpu[4 x AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor (AuthenticAMD) @ 800MHz] mem[Physical: 7.8GB, 84.9% free] disk[Total: 2.1TB, 87.7% free] video[ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 5870] sound[USB-Audio - SB Arena Headset1: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic2: HDA-In | 15:12 |
| Acidphase | tel - HDA ATI SB] | 15:12 |
| packrat_ | this is my beta test box, heh my other ones are still in lucid. | 15:12 |
| penguin42 | hmm, the 5xxx support on the open drivers is _very_ new; I'm not even sure it works on 10.10 for 3d | 15:12 |
| knittl | find and find next probably just weren't translated | 15:12 |
| * penguin42 uses a 4350 and that works great; but I know a new mesa went in and I think that had 5xxx support, but very new | 15:13 | |
| jascotty2 | I just upgraded to the beta release, and now I get something like '/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 error, returns 32512', and the login screen won't show.. | 15:13 |
| jascotty2 | anyone know how to fix this? | 15:13 |
| Acidphase | ya well I dont want to kill my gaming all in the sake of going to maverick | 15:13 |
| headstrong | catalyst is not bad. if you don't use fglrx, the performance is about 1/4 | 15:13 |
| packrat_ | sanity check means you need to see a shrink. I know a few good ones in the five boros? | 15:13 |
| packrat_ | jk :-) little QA humor. | 15:13 |
| Acidphase | :) | 15:13 |
| penguin42 | Acidphase: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/fglrx-finally-works-with-ubuntu-1010.html | 15:14 |
| headstrong | if you have a 4ghz cpu, vlc and mplayer are nothing for your built-in igp | 15:14 |
| * Acidphase wants to use fglrx | 15:14 | |
| Acidphase | nice | 15:14 |
| * Acidphase reads | 15:14 | |
| packrat_ | reading. | 15:14 |
| headstrong | mesa comsums a lot of horsepower of cpu | 15:15 |
| packrat_ | should i try it? | 15:16 |
| * packrat_ is nervous. | 15:16 | |
| headstrong | fglrx is not perfect yet | 15:16 |
| packrat_ | rawr i gotta figure out where the loginwindow resolution is set, this is bugging me | 15:17 |
| Acidphase | ya I'm going to wait for the full version at minimum | 15:17 |
| Acidphase | (for 10.10) | 15:17 |
| Acidphase | lets see if ATI makes a move to | 15:17 |
| packrat_ | grrr. ati bugs me. i had to switch to nvidia on my main box cuz theyre so goofy. | 15:18 |
| headstrong | you have to reinstall non-lts ubuntu per year, would you care? | 15:18 |
| packrat_ | ? | 15:19 |
| Acidphase | can tell you next time I going to build a Intel setup, it's gay that AMD and ATI are one now one company as I miss the old setups with nvidia/amd , think the last time I was this disappointed is when 3dFX went under | 15:19 |
| packrat_ | omfg. yeah. | 15:20 |
| headstrong | 3dfx = voodoo cards? | 15:20 |
| packrat_ | i think i may still have a voodoo 4 laying around somewhere. | 15:20 |
| Acidphase | yep | 15:20 |
| packrat_ | yah | 15:20 |
| headstrong | i am sick of its cascade configs | 15:21 |
| packrat_ | hell i found a viper 2 in a box the other day | 15:21 |
| Acidphase | I forget I had quite few voodoo's | 15:21 |
| Acidphase | think I have a voodoo 5 somewhere | 15:21 |
| packrat_ | i actually have an X2 with an nforce mobo. | 15:21 |
| packrat_ | but all the new ones have all this lamo ati shit in them. | 15:21 |
| Acidphase | lol | 15:21 |
| headstrong | iirc, 3dfx had a mini opengl standard | 15:21 |
| IdleOne | Can we all please keep the language clean | 15:22 |
| Acidphase | "Glide" | 15:22 |
| headstrong | umm | 15:22 |
| packrat_ | sorry. | 15:22 |
| packrat_ | Glide was fun. | 15:22 |
| headstrong | 3dfx was dead with dos i think | 15:22 |
| Acidphase | dos? | 15:22 |
| headstrong | the dos age | 15:22 |
| Acidphase | lol UT99 was specifically built around glide drivers | 15:22 |
| Acidphase | so way after dos | 15:23 |
| packrat_ | didnt nvidia buy out 3dfx? AND s3? | 15:23 |
| Acidphase | yes | 15:23 |
| headstrong | they did | 15:23 |
| packrat_ | i miss my viper 2 man that thing was awesome. | 15:23 |
| headstrong | s3 = via, now | 15:23 |
| packrat_ | wait, via makes vid cards now?! O_O | 15:23 |
| Acidphase | but like everything else was about D3D with Nvidia | 15:23 |
| Acidphase | kinda like directX now | 15:23 |
| headstrong | i used to hope to build a full-via system | 15:24 |
| Acidphase | lol | 15:24 |
| packrat_ | like with the old cyrix procs? | 15:24 |
| headstrong | but they are too lame, no new products at all | 15:24 |
| Acidphase | think I used to have a KIII or something | 15:24 |
| penguin42 | still has a 3dfx card somewhere, I should find a box with a PCI card and see if Maverick works with it.... | 15:24 |
| Acidphase | with via setup | 15:24 |
| headstrong | no, with a multi-core nano cpu | 15:25 |
| packrat_ | o, i kinda fell off the hardware game for a while. | 15:25 |
| headstrong | but via nano is stuck in 2.0ghx | 15:25 |
| headstrong | ghz | 15:25 |
| packrat_ | life got real hectic. | 15:25 |
| Acidphase | indeed | 15:25 |
| packrat_ | interesting | 15:25 |
| packrat_ | ireally need to get a 4 core. | 15:26 |
| Acidphase | I just remember when 3DFX folded and all the new UT users that had nvidia cards we're all messed up | 15:26 |
| Acidphase | I had made patch till thing got straight | 15:26 |
| Acidphase | things* | 15:26 |
| packrat_ | SC2 struggles when i get mobbed. | 15:26 |
| headstrong | if via could boost their nano cpu upto 4ghz, i would support them | 15:26 |
| headstrong | but i think intel would sue via to death again | 15:27 |
| packrat_ | oh haha i got ETCH running with a GUI on my wii recently? that was fun. | 15:27 |
| Acidphase | I need a smoke and wife is hovering around , I can feel her oppressing thoughts: "Is he going to stay on that $$@#^ all day" | 15:28 |
| packrat_ | LOL | 15:28 |
| packrat_ | antone here actually do QA for a living? | 15:28 |
| Acidphase | =P | 15:29 |
| Acidphase | no... | 15:29 |
| headstrong | Acidphase: don't care about your fat wife's wish | 15:29 |
| packrat_ | *anyone* | 15:29 |
| * Acidphase p00f I still need a smoke | 15:29 | |
| Acidphase | =P | 15:29 |
| * packrat_ just made one | 15:29 | |
| * headstrong saw fascists punished Acidphase | 15:29 | |
| headstrong | if your wife is elder than 30, you are in danger | 15:31 |
| packrat_ | so im searching the file system for 1360 x (with contains in txt) to see if i can find where this res config is hiding | 15:31 |
| headstrong | packrat_: your can check your xorg.0.log first | 15:32 |
| packrat_ | where is that exactly ? | 15:33 |
| packrat_ | nvm | 15:33 |
| headstrong | /usr/log | 15:33 |
| headstrong | xorg can always understand my monitor's edid info | 15:34 |
| packrat_ | weird. no log | 15:34 |
| packrat_ | and i dont have an xorg.conf file | 15:34 |
| Acidphase | she isn't 30 yet | 15:34 |
| headstrong | packrat_: is there a .xsession-errors under your home directory? | 15:35 |
| Acidphase | someone else I know just had that problem | 15:35 |
| packrat_ | what? with your wife being 30? or with my resolution thing? | 15:36 |
| Acidphase | the conf isnt the xorg.conf.d ? | 15:36 |
| penguin42 | I've got one machine/monitor combo that can't read edid and always gets stuck at the same res | 15:37 |
| packrat_ | hold on found .xsession-errors | 15:37 |
| headstrong | penguin42: maybe it doesn't load a proper kernel module | 15:37 |
| penguin42 | headstrong: No, you don't need modules for that | 15:37 |
| packrat_ | uh ok its huge. | 15:38 |
| Acidphase | what happens when you type : locate xorg.conf | 15:38 |
| packrat_ | it looks ate me funny | 15:38 |
| packrat_ | ok | 15:38 |
| headstrong | penguin42: iirc, some old crt monitors have no edid or other features | 15:39 |
| packrat_ | i got one in /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-nouveau/examples | 15:39 |
| Acidphase | which card are you using | 15:39 |
| penguin42 | headstrong: Yeh, in this case it's a modern LCD, it just doesn't seem to like EDID | 15:39 |
| packrat_ | and i have a folder named xorg.conf.d | 15:39 |
| packrat_ | um....i forget its one of those mobility things in the ibm t41, lemme check | 15:40 |
| Acidphase | ya should have all your mouse and kybaords stuff in the .d | 15:40 |
| headstrong | penguin42: what's the standard which a lcd like? | 15:40 |
| packrat_ | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] | 15:40 |
| headstrong | penguin42: (don't tell me that a lcd is lamer than a crt) | 15:40 |
| packrat_ | i do acid. no video settings tho | 15:40 |
| penguin42 | headstrong: I guess it's either just a bad flash burn or a design screw up; it's fine on the DVI but it won't edid on the VGA | 15:40 |
| Acidphase | and your running 10.10 I assume | 15:41 |
| headstrong | penguin42: that's what i doubt about lcd and dvi | 15:41 |
| packrat_ | correct | 15:41 |
| packrat_ | they finally fixed the grub issue with the thinkpad's apparently :-) | 15:41 |
| Acidphase | did you just try to install the fglrx or something? | 15:42 |
| packrat_ | nah i just upgraded from 10.04 | 15:42 |
| packrat_ | wanted to lend some of my qa'ing to the project | 15:42 |
| headstrong | penguin42: in theory, a lcd should support edid-like features | 15:42 |
| Acidphase | what I did the last time is not build the packages | 15:42 |
| penguin42 | headstrong: Oh yeh, it's just a screw up | 15:42 |
| Acidphase | I just let it to a auto install from the catalyst installer | 15:42 |
| packrat_ | you want me to install catalyst? | 15:43 |
| Acidphase | then I didnt do aticonfig --inititial | 15:43 |
| packrat_ | O_O | 15:43 |
| Acidphase | "didn't" | 15:43 |
| Acidphase | for some reason thats was f0xuring it | 15:43 |
| packrat_ | sooooooo.... | 15:43 |
| headstrong | penguin42: if a old crt can send info to the graphic card by only a poor line, why can't a modern lcd do same thing? | 15:43 |
| packrat_ | course of action is to install catalyst? | 15:44 |
| Acidphase | but I'm only using 2.6.35-14-generic right now | 15:44 |
| penguin42 | headstrong: Oh I'm sure it's just a {design screw up, broken line, someone forgot to flash the edid chip} | 15:44 |
| headstrong | penguin42: eh? | 15:44 |
| penguin42 | headstrong: Yeh it *should* work | 15:45 |
| headstrong | penguin42: how about hdmi? | 15:45 |
| penguin42 | headstrong: Haven't tried it | 15:45 |
| headstrong | umm | 15:46 |
| * headstrong trusts a crt | 15:46 | |
| * headstrong trusts a crt with sync-on-green | 15:47 | |
| packrat_ | ugh i haz a hedache | 15:47 |
| headstrong | what's up? | 15:47 |
| penguin42 | headstrong: The real problem is that the monitor/config GUI on Gnome won't let you set a resolution if xrandr/edid didn't auto detect it, so you have to attack the xorg.conf | 15:47 |
| packrat_ | i need to take a break this has been bothering me for a bit. im gonna run to the store. | 15:47 |
| headstrong | in theory, they can choose a proper resolution automaticly, after the chat between them | 15:48 |
| headstrong | s/chat/communication | 15:49 |
| packrat_ | wait | 15:49 |
| headstrong | my fglrx can't detect the monitor well too | 15:50 |
| packrat_ | the bug is actually in display-properties whatever | 15:50 |
| headstrong | that's why i don't install it | 15:50 |
| packrat_ | cuz it can do "make default" | 15:50 |
| headstrong | penguin42: have you tried a modline hack? | 15:51 |
| penguin42 | headstrong: Oh yeh, if I stuff a modeline in it's happy | 15:51 |
| headstrong | this hack is not rock science | 15:51 |
| headstrong | worth of $0 | 15:51 |
| headstrong | s/rock/rocket | 15:52 |
| penguin42 | headstrong: It's a pain having to do it though; shouldn't have to edit xorg.conf's in the 21st century! | 15:52 |
| headstrong | sure | 15:52 |
| headstrong | i don't need a xorg.conf so far | 15:52 |
| headstrong | ubuntu is too awesome | 15:53 |
| headstrong | on my new rig, the defualt ubuntu dettings (mesaa) gives me better performance against a old agp nvidia 6200 card | 15:54 |
| headstrong | nvidia 6200 with the binary-only driver | 15:55 |
| headstrong | so, ubuntu and my new rig are awesome | 15:56 |

| penguin42 | Adys: For flash and 32bit apps if you are on 64bit | 16:31 |
| penguin42 | Adys: The ia32-libs package needs some TLC | 16:32 |
| Adys | Ah yah i see | 16:32 |
| Adys | yeah, flash and wine, didnt think to test a 64bit app | 16:32 |
| KukuNut | for 64-bit use the native flash plugin | 16:32 |

| Adys | is it in any way related to the runlevel issues? | 16:34 |
| Adys | runlevel:/var/run/utmp: No such file or directory | 16:34 |
| penguin42 | Adys: Not seen any runlevel issues | 16:36 |
| penguin42 | Adys: The flash/wine bugs are only a sound issue I'm fairly sure | 16:36 |
| Adys | yah, rolling back fixed it | 16:36 |
| Adys | thanks | 16:36 |
| Adys | seems unrelated to runlevel | 16:37 |
| penguin42 | Actually probably not just sound, it seems like a bunch of libraries missing | 16:40 |
| Volkodav | will ia32-libs still show as ubuntu5 or the fixed release be ubuntu6 ? | 16:41 |

| tcopeland | oh and by the way the proprietary drivers are nvidia | 18:18 |
| yofel | tcopeland: use ppa-purge to remove the edgers ppa, and after that use jockey to install the nvidia drivers | 18:22 |
| tcopeland | but won't the actual edgers drivers still be installed? | 18:23 |
| yofel | tcopeland: no, ppa-purge downgrades the packages | 18:25 |
| bjsnider | i don't see how edgers would screw up the nvidia blob. but x-updates is a more conservative choice | 18:25 |
