nuvolarigaan dit goed vanoggend?06:45
Kilosja dankie en jy?06:45
nuvolarija oom, dit gaan goed, nuwe dag :)07:01
superflySquirm: I know this sounds silly, but just make double sure you have your speakers plugged into the right socket. It's usually the light green socket07:04
jrgnscan't say how many times i though my sound wasn't working, where it was either muted or plugged into the wrong socket...07:17
Kiloshi jrgns morgs 07:35
jrgnsmorning Kilos07:35
Kilosi go sort sheep07:35
morgsmorning07:35
jrgnssounds interesting07:35
superflyheya morgs07:43
morgshi superfly07:45
superflyhow's things, morgs?07:45
Kiloshi aquarat 08:07
aquaratlol08:07
aquarathi Kilos 08:07
aquarathowzit going ?08:08
Kilosgood ty and you?08:08
aquaratgood :)08:08
aquaratI'm trying to get mdadm going on a raspberry pi08:08
aquaratbut after running into some obstacles I figure perhaps LVM is a better route08:09
aquarat(and the USB bottlenecks)08:09
Kiloshaha there are some raspberry guys here08:09
aquaratI'm sure08:09
aquarat:P08:09
aquaratanyone who's run ubuntu will be fairly at home using a pi08:09
aquaratwell, minus unity08:10
Kiloslol08:10
aquaratwhich would probably run nicely on a pi08:10
aquaratdo people talk about Unity or is it like religion ?08:10
aquaratlol08:10
magespawnthere was a discussion going on in the list08:11
Kilossome guys hate it and have swopped to other flavours08:11
aquaratk08:11
tonberryE352unity on a pi?08:11
Kilosi tried it for the past 2 months and its not too bad but slow so i have installed mate onto 12.0408:12
aquaratit'd probably work08:12
tonberryE352sounds like a bad idea08:12
superflyI'm a KDE user, so I'm immune :-D08:12
aquaratwhy ?08:12
Kiloshehe08:12
aquaratI wouldn't do it08:12
superflytonberryE352: no, I don't think it has the resources to run Unity08:12
tonberryE352performance08:12
tonberryE352im not so sure08:12
aquaratthe pi does have an integrated gpu08:12
tonberryE352the pi I played with was sluggish on the default lxde08:12
superflythough a colleague here at work is using his Pi as a media centre, and it works well08:12
aquaratyeah lots of people are using them as media pcs08:13
tonberryE352o and ram usage08:13
aquaratk08:13
aquaratah well08:13
aquaratI don't even run an x server on mine lol08:14
aquaratjust use them as little servers08:14
tonberryE352you dont even need to start x to decode media on it08:14
aquaratx tunneling ?08:14
tonberryE352omxplayer is more than happy to run out of a terminal08:14
tonberryE352not exactly sure what trickery is done to make it work08:15
aquaratI doubt video would play back nicely via ssh x tunneling08:15
aquaratif that's what's being done08:15
tonberryE352very doubtful yes08:15
tonberryE352no tunneling08:15
aquaratmplayer works in the terminal for mp3s and internet radio :P08:16
tonberryE352omxplayer just dumps the video output to your screen regardless of what the screen is showing08:16
Kerbero*omxplayer08:16
aquaratyou can probably get vlc or mplayer to use the hdmi output as the video display08:16
Kerberomplayer does not support the hardware decoding08:16
Kerberoneither does vlc08:16
aquaratoh08:16
Kerberoyou have to use omxplayer08:16
aquaratoh ok08:16
aquaratvaapi?08:16
Kerberono08:16
tonberryE352dont think so08:16
Kerberosome custom thing08:16
aquaratk08:16
Kerberovaapi is intel and amd08:17
aquaratoh ok08:17
Kerberovdpau is nvidia08:17
aquaratyes, I tried getting vaapi going on my slate 50008:17

magespawnhey Kilos how the sheep?11:08
Kilosall good ty apaert from one old ewe thats too lazy to walk after food so i gotta cut and carry11:11
Kilosshe also had them strange ticks around the butt11:12
magespawnwhen you get old you get certain privilages11:12
magespawnso maybe not lazy11:12
Kiloslol11:13
Kilosmust be a hybrid or evolved paralasis tick11:13
Kilosglobal warming has modified them11:14
magespawnmaybe when i was studying nat con i thought they only occured in the karoo11:15
Kilosno lots northern natal too but not this colour11:16
Kilosthink they the bontpoot ticks in natal11:16
Squirm<superfly> Squirm: I know this sounds silly, but just make double sure you have your speakers plugged into the right socket. It's usually the light green socket <-- I did check. I had music playing before format, I never unplugged or adjusted speaker volume inbetween. but yeah...11:57
superflySquirm: never hurts to check :-)12:03
Squirmit doesn't that's why I did12:04
SquirmWHen I get it working, I need to find soemewhere I can save as to how12:19
Squirmcause I always have the problem12:20
Kilosah always prob with same pc Squirm ?12:22
Squirmno12:27
Squirmit'd have been fine if I did a normal installation. I know it would have.12:27
Kiloswhat have you actually changed from a normal install?12:28
SquirmI did a minimal install14:45
Squirmit doesn't seem to set everything up automatically14:46
SquirmSystemSettings -> Sound -> (Select output) SPEAKERS14:48
Squirmhow would I do that on the cli?14:48
Squirmaha14:51
Squirmsuperfly: I don't think it's picking up my output devices14:51
superflySquirm: sadly, I haven't messed with audio enough to be able to help you :-/14:52

tumbleweedsuperfly: hi18:33
superflytumbleweed: hi, I upgraded to the beta (the proper way) and now X doesn't seem to be very happy18:36
superflyI've tried with nvidia drivers, and with the nouveau, but X doesn't seem to like either.18:37
superflyany hints?18:37
tumbleweedouch18:37
tumbleweedcan you define "not very happy"?18:37
superflytumbleweed: doesn't start. I'm looking at the log file, and there are some errors in there18:38
superflyone says that the glx module's abi differed from the server18:38
superfly*differs 18:39
tumbleweedpackage managed nvidia drivers?18:39
superflyyup18:39
tumbleweedok, this sounds vaugely familiar18:39
tumbleweedI thuoght it was fixed ages ago, though18:39
inetproeish!18:41
superflyit loads the nouveau driver successfully , but there are still a few other errors in the log file18:42
tumbleweedsuperfly: yeah, fixed on the 28th18:42
tumbleweedhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/304.43-0ubuntu118:42
superflybut they don't look like they'd affect anything18:42
superflyhrm, I had that version installed18:43
tumbleweedyou need to reboot to switch between nouveau and nvidia18:43
tumbleweedbecause the nvidia driver can't work when the nouveau kernel module is loaded18:43
superflyI have... I also get a segfault when I try to reboot from the command line, but I can live with that 18:44
tumbleweedI suggest visiting #ubuntu-x / #ubuntu+118:45
* tumbleweed can't provide much help without seeing logs18:45
tumbleweedpastebinit is awesome for that18:45
superflyand I can't get the logs online without a gui18:45
superflyis that a command line tool?18:46
tumbleweedyes18:46
tumbleweedI assume you also deleted xorg.conf when switching between the drivers?18:46
superflyyup18:46
tumbleweedI don't see any even vaguely related open bugs18:47
tumbleweedso this is something interesting...18:47
inetprosuperfly: aptitude install pastebinit18:48
superflytumbleweed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1199235/18:48
* superfly just typed that out -_-18:49
superflytumbleweed: I've just purged noveau to see if it was causing a problem18:50
tumbleweedso, this log was with noveau purged, and nvidia installed?18:51
superflyno, other way around18:51

tumbleweedit's a long time since I've used the proprietary nvidia driver19:03
tumbleweedinetpro: if it's loading, it's built19:03

tumbleweedsuperfly: so, if you lsmod, you see it?19:04
superflysadly the nouveau driver is not stable enough for my games19:04
tumbleweedyeah, I can't run any gl stuff on my desktop. nouveau doesn't like it19:04
superflyah, no module in lsmod19:05
tumbleweedmodprobe it?19:05
superflyah, it seems to be blacklisted19:05
tumbleweedthe nouveau package could do that. Can't remember all the details here19:06

superflyit looks like kubuntu uses lights now19:23
superflyhrm, dmesg says that lightdm terminated with status 119:25
tumbleweedthe more useful thing for dmesg to tell you would be module loading problems19:25
superflyas did plymouth19:25
superflynope, no errors loading the nvidia module19:27
superflyah, lightdm shows no greeters19:28
tumbleweedsuperfly: wtf?19:29
tumbleweedyou do have kubuntu-desktop installed?19:29
superflyyes19:29
tumbleweedwhen you boot, it is using VESA graphics, right? not modesetting and getting a high resolution?19:30
superflytumbleweed: no, I use text mode19:30
tumbleweedright, but it is 80x20, not high-res?19:31
tumbleweedwhat I'm getting at is: does it load nouveau when you boot?19:31
superflyafter reinstalling the kde greeter, now it works19:32

superflytumbleweed: no, not as far as I know19:32
