[04:24] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 556782 in linux "[rs690m] Graphics corruption with ati x1200" [Critical,Confirmed]
[04:25] <lotuspsychje> it says xserver-xorg-driver-ati got fix released, how do i update this?
[10:06] <xtalmath> reloaded in synaptic, marked all upgrades => lots of upgrades, but nvidia-current-updates will be removed and replaced with nouveau!? can I upgrade and keep nvidia proprietary driver instead of nouveau?
[16:26] <hggdh> cyphermox: have you seen http://www.techdrivein.com/2012/09/slow-erratic-wifi-ubuntu1204-fixed.html ? This matches my son's experience
[16:28] <cyphermox> hggdh: sadly, this blog post brings no information whatsoever
[16:28] <cyphermox> hggdh: skimming quickly, I can't see what device was in use
[16:29] <hggdh> cyphermox: I can get data from my son's system if you need. The post just shows the high-level issue, unfortunately
[16:29] <cyphermox> if I was a betting man I'd say that guy uses either a broadcom device, or some older form of intel and is missing some updates
[16:30] <hggdh> I am told that the issue pops up on switch to battery
[16:31] <cyphermox> oh boy, this again :'(
[16:32] <cyphermox> hggdh: as a good thing to test, you should try to verify if on battery setting powersave off for the device helps
[16:32] <cyphermox> just a second, I'm trying to remember how to do that exactly :)
[16:33] <cyphermox> hggdh: ah, /sbin/iwconfig eth1 power off, of course :)
[16:34] <cyphermox> there used to be an evil script somewhere that would set power on when falling on battery
[16:34] <cyphermox> it doesn't seem to be on quantal anymore though, and I think we dropped it before 12.04
[16:35] <hggdh> the son is running precise
[16:35] <hggdh> but how would setting power off help keep the connection on?
[16:36] <cyphermox> hggdh: the setting is "power". but it really configures power saving
[16:36] <cyphermox> power saving has been broken in the past and keeping connectins from being established
[16:37] <hggdh> ah
[16:37] <hggdh> I will ask him to check on it
[16:38] <cyphermox> it's just something to try so that we have a better idea what is broken
[16:38] <hggdh> k
[16:41] <hggdh> cyphermox: request sent; I will wait for his answer (he has a candidature exam tomorrow, and a paper to deliver by day after tomorrow, so it may be a while)
[16:41] <cyphermox> sure. np
[20:16] <Logan_> Can someone please make Bug 862950 public, assuming that it doesn't contain any private information?
[20:20] <jtaylor> k
[20:21] <jtaylor> done
[20:21] <Logan_> jtaylor: Thanks. :)
[22:54] <exodus> o/
[22:54] <exodus> Anyone using quantal?
[22:54] <exodus> I need help confirming a bug
[22:55] <hggdh> exodus: shoot
