[17:48] <tjaalton> oh it was on phoronix too..
[17:54] <bryceh> tjaalton, :-)
[17:58] <mlankhorst> highly regarded by many?
[17:58] <mlankhorst> wat
[17:59] <bjsnider> linus never engages in overblown rhetoric
[17:59] <bjsnider> this is an unprecedented outburst
[18:00] <mlankhorst> I haven't checked what linus said yet because it seems to have troubles streaming that video, but I'll probably agree with it
[18:01] <bryceh> mlankhorst, it's worth watching.  phoronix has a written summary (and animated gif in the comments)
[18:26] <tjaalton> didn't know there was going to be a public speech.. would've been there otherwise :/
[20:44] <bryceh> tjaalton, yeah rare opportunity
[20:46] <mlankhorst> he tends to not want to give public speeches
[21:02] <inetpro> good evening
[21:03]  * inetpro just installed Kubuntu 12.04 on a laptop with nVidia Corporation GT215 [GeForce GTS 360M]
[21:04] <inetpro> still having the same issues as logged on launchpad at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/897436
[21:04] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 897436 in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) "Screen corrupted without nomodeset on nVidia Corporation GT215 [GeForce GTS 360M] " [Undecided,Confirmed]
[21:05] <inetpro> in fact not exactly the same, I now can no longer get the nVidia driver installed as I did back then on Oneiric
[21:07] <inetpro> xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is installed
[21:08] <inetpro> anyone here willing to help?
[21:09] <mlankhorst> no sign of nouveau in that dmesg :/
[21:10] <mlankhorst> and it's late so ill probably sleep soon
[21:12] <inetpro> mlankhorst: yep and still no sign of it even in the new installation
[21:12] <mlankhorst> i mean you link a nouveau bug but no sign of you using nouveau..
[21:14] <inetpro> hmm... how do I ensure that I use the nouveau driver?
[21:14] <mlankhorst> did you manually install nvidia drivers?
[21:15] <inetpro> it's an option in Kubuntu after installation where I can install Additional drivers
[21:16] <inetpro> I tried that after starting the system with nomodeset
[21:16] <mlankhorst> I need the output from 'dmesg' after you boot without nomodeset..
[21:16] <inetpro> but that installation fails with many errors in /var/log/jockey.log
[21:17] <inetpro> I can not read the screen without nomodeset... just black and white blocks all over
[21:18] <bjsnider> nouveau doesn't work with nomodeset
[21:20] <inetpro> hang on let me see whether I can get to the console
[21:28] <bjsnider> http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=184447
[21:30] <bryceh>  http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=184449
[21:31]  * inetpro is back
[21:31] <inetpro> can't even get to the console 
[21:35] <bjsnider> linus sure knows how to stir the pot
[21:37] <bjsnider> it's not really scientific to have people post "i hate nvidia because of this specific problem i once had"
[21:38] <bjsnider> why is dch tagging everything for quantal?
[21:47] <mlankhorst> inetpro: can you ssh?
[21:49] <mlankhorst> bryceh: I agree with linus only on the video drivers, but yeah linus loves to make grand statements, funny how nvidia can't handle it and how linus already addressed that in his interview
[21:51] <inetpro> mlankhorst: ok, I got nvidia running properly now
[21:51] <inetpro> after installing linux-headers-3.2.0-25-generic-pae
[21:51] <mlankhorst> inetpro: I can't help with nvidia, I can only help with nouveau, so if you can set up ssh :\
[21:51] <mlankhorst> if not.. dno
[21:52] <inetpro> unfortunately it's just before midnight here in South Africa
[21:52] <mlankhorst> same here
[21:52] <mlankhorst> wel trusten
[21:52] <inetpro> I'll try to take it further tomorrow evening if time permits
[21:53] <inetpro> thanks for the help
