| greyfox1 | POP QUIZ, HOTSHOTS | 01:56 |
|---|---|---|
| Cheri703 | oh? | 01:57 |
| greyfox1 | I need to file a bug--my laptop monitor brightness works, but not at boot. Only after I suspend & resume once. After that it's fine. | 01:57 |
| greyfox1 | What package do I file that against? | 01:57 |
| greyfox1 | A cookie for anyone who knows | 01:57 |
| Cheri703 | hmmm...kernel perhaps? perhaps a bios issue? | 01:58 |
| greyfox1 | The kernel? Intel drivers? | 01:58 |
| Cheri703 | I'd vote for kernel...or power manager? | 02:01 |
| Unit193 | What program do/can you use to configure it? | 02:01 |
| greyfox1 | Configure what, exactly? The screen? Just the default "monitor preferences" dialog. | 02:02 |
| Cheri703 | the suspend/resume settings are in power manager | 02:02 |
| Cheri703 | I'd say kernel | 02:03 |
| Cheri703 | the thought on power manager was because perhaps there is some box that gets ticked after a suspend/resume, but I dunno | 02:03 |
| greyfox1 | Hmm, I'll have a look at that. I don't think anything there could affect the fn keys, though. | 02:04 |
| greyfox1 | brb | 02:04 |
| Cheri703 | hmm...longshot, but try a different keyboard layout? or assign fn to something else? | 02:04 |
| Cheri703 | ok | 02:04 |
| greyfox1 | Ok, so nothing apparently amiss with the power mgmt dialog. | 02:13 |
| Cheri703 | :/ ok | 02:14 |
| greyfox1 | Here's something interesting: when I first boot, xev reports nothing when I press fn+f6/f7 (brightness up/down) | 02:14 |
| greyfox1 | but once I suspend/resume, I get plenty of output from xev like i'd expect. Hmm | 02:14 |
| greyfox1 | Wish I knew exactly what this means. I guess kernel sounds like a good idea? Hmm | 02:14 |
| * Cheri703 likes chocolate chip | 02:15 | |
| Cheri703 | :D | 02:15 |
| greyfox1 | haha, well played! | 02:15 |
| greyfox1 | Maybe at OLF this year :) | 02:16 |
| Cheri703 | heh, sounds good :) | 02:17 |
| greyfox1 | Oh shoot, check this out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting | 02:18 |
| greyfox1 | found that link in another bug report about hotkeys. Looks like troubleshooting can be a mess | 02:18 |
| Cheri703 | :( | 02:18 |
| Cheri703 | what model of laptop? | 02:18 |
| greyfox1 | Toshiba satellite a305-s6857 | 02:19 |
| greyfox1 | Weird thing is, this only just started with 10.10 | 02:19 |
| greyfox1 | before, they would NEVER work | 02:19 |
| greyfox1 | so, I'm a little better off at least | 02:19 |
| Cheri703 | :/ so you're halfway there? | 02:19 |
| greyfox1 | right | 02:19 |
| greyfox1 | :D | 02:19 |
| * Cheri703 is attempting to troubleshoot an ipod tonight | 02:22 | |
| greyfox1 | Oh yeah? What's the skinny? | 02:22 |
| Cheri703 | was given to us, cuts out after a few songs, stops playing. I think it's overheating. it has a short battery life, but there is still charge when it does it. I'm willing to replace the battery, but only after I know it's not horribly damaged in some other way | 02:23 |
| Cheri703 | I just popped it open, charging it now | 02:23 |
| greyfox1 | You mean you didn't take it to an authorized Apple Genius (TM) ?@!?! | 02:24 |
| Cheri703 | it's old | 02:24 |
| Cheri703 | coworker gave it to my brother who gave it to us | 02:24 |
| Cheri703 | 5th generation video ipod | 02:24 |
| greyfox1 | Heh, I have one of those. | 02:24 |
| greyfox1 | 30GB | 02:24 |
| greyfox1 | black | 02:24 |
| Cheri703 | yep | 02:25 |
| Cheri703 | does it crap out? | 02:25 |
| greyfox1 | No, nary a problem with it actually. | 02:26 |
| Cheri703 | well, that's good :) | 02:26 |
| greyfox1 | Yeah | 02:26 |
| greyfox1 | I've been really gentle with it | 02:26 |
| Cheri703 | I can't remember, do you dual-boot your computer? there was someone who does | 02:26 |
| greyfox1 | Nope | 02:26 |
| Cheri703 | probably good | 02:26 |
| Cheri703 | ok | 02:26 |
| greyfox1 | I'm proud to say I haven't needed to dual boot in years. I use a VM occasionally but that's it | 02:27 |
| Cheri703 | nice | 02:27 |
| Cheri703 | the other night I set up an older compaq (inherited from parents) as a potentially headless dual-boot | 02:27 |
| greyfox1 | Ooh, interesting! I've never tried that. How did it go? | 02:28 |
| Cheri703 | had a compaq OEM XP Pro cd, so figured I would take advantage of it | 02:28 |
| Cheri703 | it's awesom | 02:28 |
| Cheri703 | e | 02:28 |
| Cheri703 | I just ssh'd into the ubuntu side and rebooted it into windows, now installing updates and such :) | 02:28 |
| greyfox1 | Very cool. SSH is one of those things that is perpetually on my to-do list that I never get around to. | 02:29 |
| greyfox1 | So, I'm slightly jealous. | 02:29 |
| Cheri703 | I have it set up for vnc as well :) | 02:29 |
| Cheri703 | SSH IS WONDERFUL | 02:29 |
| Cheri703 | I love it | 02:30 |
| Cheri703 | especially ssh -x | 02:30 |
| Cheri703 | use that ALL the time | 02:30 |
| greyfox1 | what do you use it for? | 02:30 |
| greyfox1 | I mean, you personally | 02:30 |
| greyfox1 | not what is it for in general | 02:30 |
| Cheri703 | I use ssh -x for gnucash...it lets me keep one file in one place and I can update it from anywhere. also changing settings in things that aren't convenient from cli, I also use regular ssh for installing software, updates, etc | 02:31 |
| Cheri703 | my next thing on the list is to use screen | 02:32 |
| greyfox1 | That's great. I think I need to get going on stuff like that. | 02:36 |
| Cheri703 | also useful for connecting to network drives, can just do "connect to server" and it'll connect | 02:36 |
| canthus13 | hmm.. I think I'm gonna try grml. | 03:56 |
| canthus13 | http://grml.org | 03:56 |
| Cheri703 | nice | 03:58 |
| canthus13 | Seeing as it's based on debian, it shouldn't be too hard to use. | 04:00 |
| canthus13 | wow. I've got torrents jamming up my connection to the point where ssh between my laptop and my server is choking up. | 04:01 |
| Cheri703 | heh | 04:01 |
| * canthus13 thought he had that throttled. | 04:07 | |
| canthus13 | Dunno why I was hitting 3.6MB/sec. :P | 04:07 |
| canthus13 | I set it to 2.8. | 04:08 |
| Cheri703 | heh | 04:08 |
| canthus13 | You're starting to sound like me there... | 04:08 |
| * Cheri703 is amused | 04:09 | |
| Cheri703 | and I may have fixed that ipod | 04:10 |
| * Cheri703 chuckles, but rarely l's-o-l | 04:10 | |
| * Cheri703 also hates it when people put OMG I LOLD or whatever...it's L'D O L | 04:10 | |
| Cheri703 | no one laugh out louds or laugh out louded | 04:10 |
| * canthus13 laughs out louded. | 04:18 | |
| * Cheri703 's brain exploded | 04:18 | |
| * canthus13 grins. | 04:18 | |
| * canthus13 has heard someone say 'lol' out loud before.... | 04:22 | |
| Cheri703 | yeah, I've heard it a few times | 04:22 |
| Cheri703 | part of me dies inside | 04:23 |
| canthus13 | time to watch the Dr. Who christmas episode... | 04:23 |
| Cheri703 | did you hear david tennant is marrying a woman who played his daughter and is actually the daughter of a previous dr who? | 04:23 |
| canthus13 | Eh? No... | 04:23 |
| canthus13 | Hmm.. unconfirmed rumor at the moment, it looks like. | 04:26 |
| Cheri703 | hang on, let me find the link I got | 04:27 |
| Cheri703 | http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1343909/David-Tennant-marry-Georgia-Moffett-daughter-ex-Doctor-Who-Peter-Davison.html?ito=feeds-newsxml | 04:27 |
| Cheri703 | friend in uk sent it to me | 04:28 |
| * canthus13 never trusts british tabloids jounalism as a primary source. | 04:28 | |
| canthus13 | The daily mail is about like the Enquirer. | 04:28 |
| Cheri703 | well, sure | 04:29 |
| Cheri703 | dunno | 04:29 |
| Cheri703 | still funny, either way he's marrying the daughter of a doctor...his or the other one | 04:29 |
| canthus13 | True. | 04:33 |
| Cheri703 | got 30+ minutes of playing from ipod, previous max was 15 minutes, and that was only once, after that 5 or less | 04:38 |
| Cheri703 | charging it now to see total potential battery/playing time | 04:38 |
