| wilee-nilee | sakang, Cool I have not booted to it for a couple of days. | 03:36 |

| cslcm | hi folks. Having a bit of an issue with saucy-server installer. After I select "Engligh", and then "Install" - it brings up another language selection screen, but not before powering down the USB bus! So my keyboard no longer functions. Anyone know a workaround? (The machine has no ps/2 ports) | 15:32 |
| alankila | cslcm: sounds vaguely similar to what happened to my macbook air when I tried to update it to saucy. It booted just fine but because usb was turned off I couldn't do anything with it, the keyboard didn't respond | 15:59 |
| penguin42 | cslcm: On what hardware? | 16:56 |
| cslcm | penguin42: HP Proliant Microserver | 17:04 |
| cslcm | (if you're asking about a specific piece of the hardware i can answer that too) | 17:04 |
| penguin42 | hmm ok, I'd just seen some reports on a particular set of sony laptops | 17:05 |
| penguin42 | cslcm: Is it all the USB ports or just some? | 17:05 |
| cslcm | all (it only has four) | 17:05 |
| penguin42 | hmm ok, that's a bit nasty | 17:06 |
| penguin42 | cslcm: I'm not too sure what to suggest to fix it, but it's also a bit tricky to report, I think maybe I'd try to get a shell before that point, install openssh-server on the install ram disk, ssh in from another machine and see what it looks like once your USB ports have gone off - i.e. is it just the USB ports? | 17:10 |
| penguin42 | oh | 17:10 |
| pepee | so, how bad would be to use ubuntu 13.10 alpha as the main desktop at the moment? | 17:43 |
| pepee | this is almost 2 years old AMD hardware... but I want to use the latest features from the radeon driver | 17:44 |
| penguin42 | pepee: Well you should be able to run with the latest AMD drivers I think | 17:45 |
| penguin42 | although I'm not 100% sure whether that's available in the alpha yet so hmm | 17:45 |
| penguin42 | actually, hmm maybe not - jockey isn't finding any for my radeon | 17:46 |
| pepee | should be integrated in the kernel or some other package | 17:46 |
| penguin42 | pepee: Well, there looks like there are fglrx packages so I'd hope it's ok | 17:46 |
| pepee | not talking aboout fglrx | 17:47 |
| pepee | *about | 17:47 |
| penguin42 | ok, so you mean with the open drivers? | 17:47 |
| pepee | yeah, well, latest radeon release has video decoding + power management + some performance optimizations | 17:48 |
| pepee | yeah | 17:48 |
| penguin42 | right ok | 17:48 |
| penguin42 | pepee: Well yeh I run KDE on +1 with an HD4325 | 17:48 |
| pepee | did you enable DPM? | 17:49 |
| penguin42 | hmm although hmm I do seem to be running it in XRender mode | 17:49 |
| penguin42 | pepee: I haven't explicitly enabled anything | 17:49 |
| pepee | radeon.dpm=1 in the grub kernel command line | 17:49 |
| penguin42 | pepee: It's a little difficult for me to tell because mine doesn't have a fan | 17:50 |
| penguin42 | although it does have a temp sensor | 17:52 |
| penguin42 | ok, cat /sys/module/radeon/parameters/dpm says -1 rather than 1 so I guess it's off? | 17:52 |
| pepee | well, it should run a bit colder than usual | 17:53 |
| pepee | I guess so | 17:53 |
| penguin42 | nod, should give it a try sometime - not too big an issue - not a laptop, but I should try and save a few watts | 17:53 |
| pepee | ask in #radeon | 17:53 |
| penguin42 | pepee: Anyway, give it a go! the Radeon driver in +1 works no worse than previous versions and as you say it might be able to do that | 17:54 |
| pepee | ok, I'll upgrade then | 17:55 |
| pepee | thanks penguin42 | 17:55 |
| pepee | btw, afaik KDE has improved a bit too | 17:55 |
| penguin42 | nod | 17:55 |
| penguin42 | and also +1 seems a heck of a lot faster | 17:55 |
| pepee | I use KDE and LXDE | 17:55 |
| penguin42 | I don't know, but I think it's something in the 3.11 kernel | 17:55 |
| pepee | http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=18703 | 17:56 |
| pepee | http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=19022 | 17:56 |
| pepee | read those | 17:56 |
| penguin42 | thanks, but I meant more general system feel | 17:57 |
| pepee | yeah, FOSS driver has improved a lot lately | 17:57 |
| pepee | thanks penguin42 , I'll give it a try | 18:12 |
