| snadge | i got my oneiric box working again.. yay.. by apt-get install unity-2d ;) | 02:35 |
|---|---|---|
| snadge | good show old chaps! | 02:35 |
| snadge | im starting to realise that neither compiz nor metacity is a suitable solution going into the future | 02:36 |
| snadge | they're old ideas, being bludgeoned into doing new things | 02:36 |
| snadge | linux desktop needs a way of disabling desktop compositing, when an application grabs the gl context in a window | 02:37 |
| snadge | similar to how windows does it ;) | 02:37 |
| snadge | im assuming this and probably a million other things im not aware of, is what has motivated wayland | 02:37 |
| bjsnider | wayland requires things the proprietary drivers don't have and may never have | 03:11 |
| bjsnider | so if you use wayland you have to use the most unstable and feature-lacking graphics drivers | 03:11 |
| rww | meh, radeon's more stable for me than fglrx :P | 03:12 |
| rww | but in general, indeed. | 03:12 |
| snadge | my oneiric box is working with unity-2d now.. so im just going to leave it like that | 03:53 |
| snadge | i think that works better with xbmc anyway.. compiz just gets in the way | 03:54 |

| Stoken | hey guys whats going on, iǘe one question? | 12:30 |
| Stoken | does exist an offtopic ubuntu channel in english, can some one give me add ? | 12:30 |
| gunni_ | penguin42: The boot splash, it does not get to kdm | 12:32 |
| penguin42 | gunni_: OK, then I don't think it's 807306 - that normally gets to kdm and doesn't let you do anything | 12:33 |
| penguin42 | gunni_: Can you go back to what's happening in your recovery console | 12:34 |
| gunni_ | pengui42: Sorry i dont understand your question. | 12:35 |
| Stoken | iǘe got ubuntu 10.10 on my netbook, if i opened firefox, i can´t use my menulist for opening other apps? can someone helps? | 12:35 |
| penguin42 | gunni_: You said when you try recovery that you get a problem with not mounting your filesystem | 12:35 |
| penguin42 | Stoken: This channel is for discussion of 11.10 only, try #ubuntu for older versions please | 12:36 |
| Stoken | hmm, okay i know, i understand, i think i update ubuntu, and came back with new and other problems, okay? | 12:37 |
| penguin42 | Stoken: If you have problems in 11.10 please come back - but it's alpha and many things break | 12:37 |

| Stoken | ^^ | 12:42 |

| Stoken | cu dudes, hava nice day,or night, whatever | 12:43 |
| gunni_ | penguin42: So it still does not boot in normal mode, black screen, but i can ssh into it | 12:46 |
| penguin42 | gunni_: OK, which graphics card? | 12:46 |
| gunni_ | nvidia | 12:46 |
| gunni_ | before upgrade with nvidia-blob | 12:47 |
| * penguin42 doesn't do nvidia himself - I remember yofel saying something about a clash between nouveu and the nvidia driver | 12:47 | |
| penguin42 | any other nvidia users about to help gunni_ ? | 12:48 |
| gunni_ | penguin42: But its a good hint. I see errors in Xorg.log, so i will check that. | 12:49 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | installing the nvidia driver normally blacklists the nouveu driver i think | 12:55 |
| BluesKaj | dr_willis, really ? | 12:56 |
| BluesKaj | I reinstalled the nvidia-current driver from the tty yesterday and there was a list of messages saying the novuveau missing something or other | 12:58 |
| BluesKaj | was missing something | 12:58 |
| BluesKaj | I think yofel mentioned thathe blacklisted the nouveau and reinstall,ed the nvidia-current because it has priority ...my nvidia driver isn't installed despite my efforts | 13:01 |
| BluesKaj | nvidia-current , that is | 13:02 |
| gunni_ | pengui42: You gave a good hint. I now uninstalled nvidia-current removed xorg.conf, and can at least log in again. Now i can go on. Still dont know what was causing the mount problem. | 13:04 |
| dr_willis | nvidia drives shouldent be affecting mounting of devices at all. | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | magic? :) | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | i had issues with older versions of nvidia drivers for an older kernel fighting with the newer versions for a different kernel - yesterday.. still not sure why it did it. | 13:10 |
| gunni_ | dr_willis: No, i think that was a second problem not depending on the other. | 13:12 |
| gunni_ | Does anybody has a hint on getting the nvidia-current to work. After installing nvidia-current oneiric still loads nouvea module, and so nvidia gives errors | 13:21 |
| root_ | exit | 13:41 |
| yofel | if someone sees the folks with nvidia issues again tell them to file a bug, my bug 811701 is supposedly fixed and I personally don't have any issues here anymore. | 13:44 |

| BluesKaj | forgot that irssi doesn't auto assign your nick at login | 13:48 |

| yofel | try that | 13:51 |
| BluesKaj | yofel , thanks ..will try | 13:52 |
| BluesKaj | ok , nvidia-current is in full use , including desktop effects . I blacklisted the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau driver...thanks yofel :) | 14:20 |
| yofel | :D | 14:21 |
| BluesKaj | wonder why the blacklist is required tho...is there a bug filed on this? | 14:22 |
| yofel | well, mine was duped, file a new one | 14:25 |
| BluesKaj | yofel, what about just filing the workaround on the same bug | 14:27 |
| Daekdroom | I think it's the nvidia-current driver that should blacklist nouveau | 14:27 |
| Daekdroom | Or Xorg should try to load them in a proper order. | 14:28 |
| yofel | BluesKaj: mine's *closed*, so no point in doing that | 14:28 |
| BluesKaj | ok yofel | 14:28 |
| yofel | Daekdroom: it does, but that for some reason isn't picked up | 14:28 |

| Ian_Corne | yes | 15:36 |
| BluesKaj | David12, this one | 15:37 |
| BluesKaj | David12, correction 3.0 was released a day or 2 ago , officailly | 15:38 |
| David12 | it comes with alpha 2 | 15:38 |
| David12 | it's all good. | 15:38 |
| _gunni_ | The acutal kernel in Ubuntu 11.10 is 3.0-rc7, so its nearly 3.0 | 15:40 |
| David12 | which is still 3 so don't be so pedantic | 15:43 |
| BluesKaj | we always have correction trolls hanging around | 15:44 |

| BluesKaj | uhm .. | 15:52 |
| _gunni_ | Hey, i am no "correction troll" .. just wanted to help, as i for example depend on a fix that got into the kernel after 3.0-rc7, but it seems stereotypical for linux users to insult people ... | 16:00 |
| BluesKaj | _gunni_, don't be insulted , most ppl don't go into that much detail (hence my comment and I've been called worse names myself)) ...anyway 3.0 is officially released so the problem should be fixed by now | 16:07 |
| vince | im installing some packages from apt-get and from source tgz's | 18:56 |
| vince | is this dangerous in the long run? | 18:56 |
| penguin42 | vince: Depends what source tgz's - things can get a bit confused if you overwrite bits of the apt packages with stuff you build from source | 18:58 |
| vince | im trying to do ruby on rails install, and the tut says it would prefer to use a more recent version of ruby | 19:04 |
| penguin42 | vince: Look to see if there is a backport | 19:05 |
| yofel | as long as you remember what you used from what it's ok, things installed in /usr/local will override stuff installed in /usr - even if /usr/local has an older version than the system | 19:06 |
| vince | ok im just concerned that the source install wont be recognized by the package manager and maybe things could get ugly | 19:10 |

| jakemp | using HD3000 graphics on a Lenovo T420 | 21:47 |
| dr_willis | seeing a dead zone? of 1920-1600 pixles tall? (320 pixles?) | 21:54 |
| dr_willis | You could try the monitors tool and see if you can aligh the 2 monitors at the top. | 21:54 |
| jakemp | They are aligned at the top, I can always see all of the menus and use them | 22:03 |
| jakemp | I can see the cursor | 22:03 |
| jakemp | but when i move a window to the black space or the second monitor, It goes behind the black | 22:04 |
| dr_willis | sounds like a dead zone.. but ive never had it do that befor. I only use Nvidia cards however. | 22:12 |
| dr_willis | the black zone is on the smaller of the 2 monitors also? | 22:12 |
| jakemp | yes | 22:13 |
| dr_willis | if you drag a window to the black space.. does it go behind the black also? | 22:14 |
| jakemp | yes | 22:15 |
| jakemp | but the cursor is always visible | 22:15 |
| dr_willis | sounds like some program/window may be actually 'on top' of the others... | 22:16 |
| dr_willis | want to try a more radical test? :) | 22:16 |
| jakemp | might it crash my machine? | 22:16 |
| dr_willis | install a totally different window manager like 'icewm' and see if it has teh same issue with icewm, or try some other window managers. It may be a driver bug. in which case it should affect them all the same.. | 22:17 |
