coz_Senix,  yeah on  these things... wifi  I am not a real expert on... however many of the people here can most likely answer that for you:)01:19
Senixcoz_, well if i run into any problems i'll ask, but before i plague myself upon these fine users i shall try google first.01:20
coz_Senix,  good thinking..or simply download and burn the daily or alpha 1  cd  and test it out :)01:21
Senixcoz_, will do01:21

orbisvicishi, what does ubuntu call the kernel image? /boot/vmlinu... ?18:03
yofel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-11-server for example18:03
orbisvicisyofel: thank you. that explains why the grub2 10_linux script searches for vmlinu[xz]-*18:06
orbisvicis(arch linux uses vmlinuz26, so that glob wouldnt work)18:06
DrHalanhey, hows natty coming along?18:15
yofelkubuntu great so far :P18:17
bjsniderthe trouble with kubuntu is it has kde and not gnome18:26
bjsnidersomething's gotta be done about that18:26
IdleOnehehe18:26
h4fI got a kernel panic when inserting a cd.19:43
penguin42oh, shouldn't happen19:43
penguin42h4f: Do you have the full panic recorded in a log  (and has the system offered to submit it?)19:43
h4fpenguin42: how do I get that log ?19:48
penguin42h4f: Did the machine crash when it happened or did it stumble on?19:48
h4fpenguin42:  I tried writing an ISO to the disk. and it completes with failure. that means a CD is not in good. but any way the kernel should no panic19:48
penguin42yeh kernel shouldn't panic - so when you say it panic'd what did you see? An oops? Flashing keyboard lights?19:49
h4f penguin42:  I see - switching to text mode. then stack trace. and few kernel panics mesages. and everything stopes working19:50
penguin42h4f: OK, well if you have a camera take a picture of what you see in text mode, after reboot you can see if there are any messages saved in /var/log/messages or /var/log/kern.log but it depends how much made it to disk as it crashed19:51
h4fpenguin42:  ok i will do that later. may be 30 min19:52
penguin42for the record, I hate X cut/paste semantics19:56
BUGabundoevening20:00
BUGabundostupid question of the year:20:00
BUGabundohow do I get compiz to start on boot? (classic desktop)20:00
h4fOne more problem I have. when unplug the battery while laptop is running it gets kernel panic.20:04
h4fwhen the laptop is running and I plug in the battery crash it wont kernel panic. I have acer aspire 5720 which i think supports hot unplug of battery20:05
penguin42hmm never tried hot unplugging a battery20:08
mongywith autohide on, is there anyway to bring it back without moving the window20:10
mongyalso, i keep trying to enable window previews and it locks my vbox guest everytime.20:16
h4fis there a way to record kernel panic info ?20:26
jMCgcrash? kexec? kdump.. etc..20:28

cozziemotohas nayone had the issue when installing that monitor goes into a tizzy  stateing wrong resoulutin out of range?20:31
penguin42jMCg: I don't think Ubuntu has anything set up to capture them in a better way than that normally; although I see it reserves memroy for a crash kernel but I don't see it doing anything with it20:32
cozziemotoI have already teste with lucid and maverick and no issues20:32
penguin42cozziemoto: Then it's a regression - report it! What graphics card?20:33
cozziemotopenguin42,   nvidia20:33
cozziemotopenguin42,  it wont get to the grub menu of course...20:33
penguin42oh20:33
penguin42cozziemoto: Best to report it20:33
jMCgpenguin42: all you have to do is install crash20:34
penguin42jMCg: Oh interesting, I didn't know that existed, is there a canned response to people to tell people to use it?20:35
cozziemotoi will also install an earlier daily build  to get past this20:36
jMCg!crash20:36
ubottuFor help debugging your program, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures20:36

bcurtiswx_anyone having bzr problems with python 2.7 ?20:38
bcurtiswx_with an lp address for example20:39
bcurtiswx_http://paste.ubuntu.com/549359/20:40
penguin42bcurtiswx_: bzr was very broken the other day20:40
bcurtiswx_penguin42, does it need a rebuild of some sort?20:40
penguin42bug 69388020:41
ubottuLaunchpad bug 693880 in bzr (Ubuntu) "_ReportingFileSocket.readline lacks size argument" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/69388020:41
bcurtiswx_penguin42, muchas gracias. i'll see if balil's patch works for me :)20:43
bcurtiswx_penguin42, cool worked.  :)20:46
jMCgpenguin42: here we go: add "deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ natty main multiverse restricted universe" to your /etc/apt/sources.list then: sudo aptitude install crash kdump-tools kexec-tools linux-image-$(uname -r)-dbgsym ; read /usr/share/doc/kdump-tools/README.Debian -- edit /etc/default/kdump-tools and /etc/default/grub accordingly20:59
penguin42sounds good in principal; not tried it21:01
jMCgI just did the last two or so steps, because Ubuntu, as opposed to Fedora doesn't do them.21:02
jMCgBut generally, that's it.21:02
jMCgI just wish it would be there out of the box.21:03
jMCgLike, you know.. on a real Unix.21:03
penguin42file a bug on it21:03
jMCgNonono. I mean: OUT OF THE BOX. You install a server someonewhere out there in the wild, you'll never have a monitor attached or anything. If it crashes you want it to leave you with a nice crashdump to analyze -- after comming up cleanly and starting all services again.21:06
jMCghttp://lethargy.org/~jesus/writes/panic-linux-freebsd-and-solaris <<< Something like that.21:07
jMCg``I like Linux, but I need savecore, I need it now, and I need it to unquestioningly, reliably work out-of-the-box.'' -- beautiful.21:08
jMCgThe comments are a joy to read. And by that I mean my brain is freezing from the idiocy.21:16
penguin42just add chocolate21:19
jMCgI'm doing that right now.21:25
bjsniderBUGabundo, have you got a solution to the choppy scrolling iissue in chromium?22:30
BUGabundodon't have it22:30
bjsnideryou don't have what, choppy scrolling, or a solution?22:31
KM0201why did desktop default to unity now?22:31
BUGabundoKM0201: not now22:31
BUGabundobeen like that for weeks22:31
BUGabundobjsnider: don't have choppy scroll AFAIS22:32
KM0201i just downloaded it.. i guess this has been discussed quite a bit?22:32
penguin42KM0201: If you don't like it you can select 'Classic desktop' from gdm/kdm22:32
KM0201penguin42: i know, but thats not the point.22:32
penguin42KM0201: Indeed, but that's somewhat contentious22:32
KM0201can you safely uninstall unity?22:32
KM0201penguin42: why would it be contentious?...22:33
nit-witKM0201, have you tried the regular desktop it is already there22:41
KM0201nit-wit: yes.. i was just wondering why they changed "unity" to be default22:42
emany of you running Natty right now?22:42
mongyeven more user friendly I guess.  but old faithful is still there.22:42
bcurtiswx_em, i believe most of us are running natty.. thats the purpose of this channel22:42
nit-witKM0201, I guess it is the new thing I didn't like it at first but I can see gettng used to it but I have a few more OS installed as well22:43
emokay good could any of you tell me if there is a package called 'racket' in Natty22:43
emit's a version of scheme22:43
bcurtiswx_em, what version r u using?22:43
emmaverick22:43
KM0201nit-wit: yeah, i guess.22:43
penguin42em: See packages.ubuntu.com22:43
empenguin42!22:43
bcurtiswx_penguin42, beat me to it.. lol thx22:43
nit-witKM0201, I usualy just have a very tiny panel with a static what running dropdown, so the lack of control over the panels is a irritant.22:44
nit-wit*what's22:44
emDo any of you know why there is no package for racket in Ubuntu?22:50
emI filed a bug about that way back in Jaunty I think.22:50
yofelnobody bothered to package it? We get many packaging requests, much more than the MOTU team can take care of22:51
yofeliirc there was a request in the debian BTS too22:51
SwedeMikewill there be vaapi on intel 4500 support by default in 11.04?22:52
yofelyep22:52
yofelem: debian bug 59268822:52
ubottuDebian bug 592688 in plt-scheme "RFP: racket -- Racket is a programming language" [Wishlist,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/59268822:52
SwedeMikeso one doesn't have to do all the stuff in http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=8658122:53
emyofel: I am the one who wrote that bug!22:53
yofeloh right, just noticed..22:54
emHow will it get into Natty?22:55
emI filed that bug with Debian way back on August 12 2010 because everyone i talked to in Ubuntu said that was the way to do it. It will be in Natty?22:56
yofelunless someone wants to maintain a seperate racket package in Ubuntu, we wait for debian to package it and then sync from there22:56
yofelem: you can ask in #ubuntu-motu, they're the ones taking care of packaging requests22:57
emthanks.22:57
* penguin42 wonders how to move/rearrange stuff on a KDE panel23:34
rwwpenguin42: click the cashew button on the far right, if it's there. if it's not, right-click the panel and Unlock Widgets first.23:45
penguin42rww: Oh I see, it wasn't obvious that when in that state it allowed movement of the panel icons23:46
penguin42rww: Thanks23:46
