| snail | morning all | 21:01 |
| Atamira | mornin | 21:03 |
| ajmitch | morning | 21:08 |
| ibeardslee | mumblemorning | 22:29 |
| ibeardslee | seems an update for nvidia is broken in Natty | 22:29 |
| ajmitch | what breaks? | 22:29 |
| ibeardslee | the ability to get anything useful on the screen | 22:30 |
| ajmitch | after rebooting? | 22:30 |
| ibeardslee | yeap | 22:30 |
| ibeardslee | the updates that happened yesterday | 22:30 |
| ibeardslee | did the reboot and nothing on the screen .. well apart from the moment the ubuntu logo with the dots under appears | 22:31 |
| ajmitch | did dkms not rebuild the kernel module? | 22:31 |
| ajmitch | you may be able to check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what's blowing up | 22:32 |
| ibeardslee | not sure .. now I know what packages are causing the problem I'm looking a bit deeper at it | 22:32 |
| ibeardslee | apt-get purge nvidia* | 22:32 |
| ibeardslee | and a reboot, lets me get a gui back | 22:32 |
| ajmitch | which means it could be switching back to the nouveau driver there | 22:33 |
| ibeardslee | if I load the additional drivers, installing nvidia-current and reboot it dies | 22:34 |
| ajmitch | check the xorg log after it dies to see what went wrong | 22:34 |
| * ajmitch had surprisingly few issues with upgrading to natty, but hasn't applied updates lately | 22:35 | |
| ibeardslee | I had been blaming the SSSD problem | 22:36 |
| ibeardslee | I've just had those two technical glitches ... SSSD and nvidia | 22:36 |
| ibeardslee | and number of usage glitches though :/ | 22:37 |
| ajmitch | yeah, I've had issues with system going OOM & thrashing about for ages | 22:37 |
| ajmitch | but I also had swap disabled when that happened | 22:37 |
| ibeardslee | I had that happen to me at some stage .. but can't remember at what point | 22:44 |
| * ibeardslee is slowing going insane | 22:44 | |
| ajmitch | going? | 22:46 |
| hads | I installed one at beta and upgraded both my desktop and laptop just before release with surprisingly no issues at all. | 22:54 |
| hads | Well except that annoying scrollbar. | 22:55 |
| * ajmitch didn't really notice the scrollbar | 22:55 | |
| hads | Do you use Evolution? | 22:55 |
| ajmitch | yes | 22:55 |
| hads | If I have Evolution maximized and go to scoll a message in the preview pane I have to move the cursor all the way to the right edge of the screen and then back a few pixels to grab the handle. | 22:56 |
| ajmitch | I don't think I ever really use the scrollbars there, and I use evolution maximised | 22:56 |
| ajmitch | but I don't remember having the issues you describe | 22:57 |
| ajmitch | I could just be blind | 22:57 |
| hads | It could be my workflow being broken. I've never quite settled in with Evolution. | 22:58 |
| hads | The keyboard shortcuts don't fit with me quite so well. I'm aLways switching messages when trying to scroll and silly things like that. | 22:59 |
| ibeardslee | hmm dropped back to the -8 kernel and it seems to work | 23:11 |
| ajmitch | ibeardslee: it sort of indicates that it wasn't building the module for the kernel you're running | 23:12 |
| ibeardslee | .. actually maybe not :( | 23:14 |
| ajmitch | btw, http://askubuntu.com/ is a useful (& now official) support site | 23:17 |
| ibeardslee | damn .. I'll have to come back to it and work with just the one monitor for now .. get some people off my back | 23:20 |
| ibeardslee | sudo reboot | 23:20 |
| ibeardslee | gah | 23:20 |
| timClicks | i'm having issues w/ Python in 11.04.. | 23:29 |
| timClicks | upgrade to py 2.7 seems to have broken python-setuptools | 23:30 |
| timClicks | which, makes life... challenging | 23:30 |
| timClicks | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/382524/ | 23:34 |
| ajmitch | timClicks: /usr/local/bin? | 23:36 |
| timClicks | ajmitch, hrm | 23:43 |
| timClicks | /usr/local/bin/easy_install borks, /usr/bin/easy_install is okay | 23:43 |
| ajmitch | probably got an old copy in /usr/local | 23:43 |
| timClicks | is is best just to rm | 23:43 |
| ajmitch | yeah, I think so | 23:43 |
| mwhudson | wow i have stuff in /usr/local | 23:48 |
| mwhudson | how did that get there? | 23:48 |
| * ajmitch has very little in /usr/local/bin, thankfully | 23:48 | |
| mwhudson | i appear to have some wifi stuff ... that's probably not a good thing | 23:49 |
| mwhudson | madwifi from 2008? | 23:49 |
| * ajmitch just has 1 python egg in /usr/local/lib | 23:50 | |
