[00:06] <ethana2> Has anyone here installed skype on 32 bit Ubuntu 8.10?
[00:06] <ethana2> Would the instructions for getting it working be any different from those for hardy?
[00:07] <zerwas> which instructions?
[00:09] <dug_> ethana2: i have skype 2 installed in intrepid using the medibuntu repository
[00:09] <dug_> !medibuntu
[00:09] <ethana2> Ok, did you use the static-oss version?
[00:09] <dug_> i just used whatever medibuntu provides
[00:09] <ethana2> did it Just Work or did you have to mess with stuff?
[00:10] <dug_> it works for me, although the medibuntu server's been swamped, and another guy said it didn't work for him
[00:11] <ethana2> hmmm..  you didn't edit any configuration files or remove pulseaudio?
[00:12] <ethana2> ethan@home:~$ install skype
[00:12] <ethana2> [sudo] password for ethan:
[00:12] <dug_> i just did the echo test and it worked.  i don't know if i have pulseaudio installed
[00:12] <ethana2> ...I guess I'll see...  Well 8.10 comes with PA, so if you didn't remove it...
[00:12] <marshtomp> whats the difference between nano and pico
[00:13] <dug_> i am using a regular headset, not a usb one
[00:13] <_ykram> -3
[00:13] <dulak> marshtomp: pico is not gpl
[00:14] <louise> hello, is this device supposed to work in the new kernel? Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[00:14] <ethana2> dug_: skype sees a 'pulse' device, I told it to use it and it seems to work!
[00:14] <dug_> cross your fingers :)
[00:16] <_ykram>  louise install linux-backports-modules-intrepid
[00:18] <louise> yram thanks
[00:23] <aurel42> anyone got an idea how to get audio with Java (Web Start) applications without starting them in a VirtualBox running Windows?
[00:23] <ethana2> dug_: I can hear other people, but they can't hear me, I went through and made sure everything was enabled and tried all the devices...
[00:23] <ethana2> dug_: after release someone'll figure it out

[00:37] <homies> hey, i've just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 and am having some problems.
[00:37] <homies> i was redirected to here from #ubuntu.
[00:38] <homies> i've got an nvidia geforce 8800GT and when i try to boot, it doesn't detect my drivers, so it asks me to boot in low graphics mode.
[00:38] <homies> if i continue, or configure then continue, it always just takes me to a black screen where it hangs.
[00:39] <zerwas> upgrade to 8.10 and you are in the right place to ask. ;)
[00:39] <homies> oh. :B
[00:39] <homies> is that available through the update manager, or would i have to get it seperately?
[00:39] <Lamo> anyone know why after upgrading to ibex video cards crap out? I'm getting Error: EnvyNG has dected that the headers for your kernel are missing and cannot be installed.
[00:48] <Ro1> Hello
[00:49] <mn> homies: are you still here?
[00:49] <Ro1> What has changed in the 8.10 release? is it mainly bug fixes? are there any articles I could read? :)
[00:50] <mn> Ro1:  Imho 8.10 is great.  I've been running it and everything seems to be upgraded to me.  You could probably find and article on ubuntu.com
[00:50] <zerwas> homies, 8.10 comes out friday (night?)
[00:51] <mn> homies: in terminal type "update-manager -d" without the quotes to upgrade
[00:51] <Ro1> mn: thanks...can I upgrade via "Wubi" and the package manager?
[00:51] <zerwas> Ro1, for example, 8.10 includes kernel 2.6.27 and GNOME 2.24 http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.24/
[00:51] <mn> Ro1: I don't know about Wubi, but upgrade-manager -d will give you the option to install
[00:52] <_ykram> what to expect from 8.10 http://www.tectonic.co.za/?p=2410
[00:52] <Ro1> ^^ thanks, I didn't know the default theme is different
[00:53] <zerwas> it's less different than i hoped ...
[00:53] <_ykram> its just not worth reading :/
[00:53] <CarlFK> anyone know the gcc flag to include debugging symbols?
[00:53] <mn> Ro1: in kde4 the default theme isn't different.  just to let you know.  It is in gnome though.
[00:53] <jgoguen> CarlFK: -g
[00:53] <jgoguen> CarlFK: and 'man gcc' is your friend :)
[00:54] <nickwinl> _ykram and zerwas: kubuntu 8.10 rc is really something, tho.
[00:54] <CarlFK> jgoguen: you are a better friend :)
[00:55] <zerwas> haven't tried KDE for ages
[00:57] <mn> zerwas: man kde ftw imo
[00:58] <zerwas> mn, man dontmakegeekjokes
[00:59] <mn> lol i didn't do that on purpose
[00:59] <Ro1> How long do CDs take to be delivered once ordered? :)
[01:00] <mn> Ro1: can you not download it?
[01:01] <Ro1> mn: I can, but my laptop doesn't have a "CD burn" feature
[01:01] <mn> oh
[01:01] <Ro1> the website said 6-10 weeks, then it said 4-6 weeks...not sure on the correct one <
[01:03] <mn> Once upgraded to 8.10 can one downgrade to 8.04?
[01:03] <Daekdroom> No
[01:03] <CarlFK> nm: no.
[01:04] <alteregoa> is there a way to sort folders alphabetically in linux?
[01:04] <mn> alteregoa: in ubuntu 8.10 or another os?
[01:04] <CarlFK> segfault ...  0xb7f27d31 in ?? () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6   http://dpaste.com/87433/  - can someone tell me what blew so I know who to tell?
[01:05] <alteregoa> ubuntu
[01:05] <CarlFK> alteregoa: like the gui?  View, arange items, name? ?
[01:05] <Rods_Tiger> I burned up many copies of the latest ubuntu release candidate and showed them to my students to use today, and absolutely none of them worked on their machines. It worked on my teachers machine, and on their own laptops. There's a serious fault with the 8.10 rc
[01:05] <alteregoa> no
[01:05] <alteregoa> physicall
[01:05] <nickwinl> mn: I guess you could switch out your primary linux kernel with the secondary kernel providing you backed it up and rerun mkinitrd, but all the 8.10 apps will still be there.
[01:05] <alteregoa> so the first file appears is a and the last z
[01:06] <alteregoa> if i type dir over smb its a chaos
[01:07] <Rods_Tiger> all of their machines said 'Cannot display this video mode'. I had a copy of 7.10 also, and that worked fine on those same student machines
[01:09] <raindog> I have an external monitor hooked to my laptop(that has a damaged lcd).  In gnome I can enter ' xrandr --output LVDS --off' to turn off the lcd and allow the panels to position correctly.  On Kubuntu 8.10 when I enter ' xrandr --output LVDS --off' or turn it off under display settings the keyboard and mouse cease to repond and I have to (alt+sys rq + reisub).  Without turning off the laptop lcd the resolution on the external
[01:09] <echidnaman> Rods_Tiger: bug konsole, regression size perhaps?
[01:09] <echidnaman> oops
[01:09] <echidnaman> damn copy/paste
[01:09] <echidnaman> Rods_Tiger: bug 290156, perhaps?
[01:10] <mn> how do I get OO.o 3.0 ??
[01:10]  * JontheEchidna wonders where ubottu is
[01:11] <bsnider> it's out grabbing a smoke
[01:11] <JontheEchidna> Rods_Tiger: anyway, https://launchpad.net/bugs/290156
[01:11] <mn> !OpenOffice.org
[01:11] <Rods_Tiger> it's not a javascript error, this is on booting (and failing)
[01:12] <CarlFK>  /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 how do I figure out what .deb that came from?
[01:13] <Ro1> do I need an existing OS for Ubuntu to work?
[01:13] <Rods_Tiger> they put the cd in their machines, it came up saying 'Cannot display this video mode' and that was all
[01:13] <CarlFK> Ro1: no
[01:14] <Ro1> cheers ;)
[01:14] <Rods_Tiger> not related to javascript or windows or suchlike
[01:14] <Rods_Tiger> they were booting from the cd
[01:15] <Rods_Tiger> firefox wasn't even running
[01:15] <Rods_Tiger> that bug describes a completely different scenario
[01:17] <Ro1> possible to run/install ubuntu with 192MB ram?
[01:17] <nickwinl> I'm going from memory here -- Ro's ordeal could be that darn 'no screen(s) found' error that often happens under xorg when you switch monitors or harddrives.  That's what I do!
[01:26] <storrgie> coppro: i love you.
[01:26] <coppro> also, as wgrant says, the emails don't have to be stored locally
[01:26] <wgrant> coppro: Right, but I don't get my client to mirror my archived emails.
[01:26] <coppro> wgrant: I do because I'm on a laptop. But it's a personal choice
[01:27] <wgrant> I'm on a laptop too, but I only mirror a few of my folders and inbox.
[01:27] <storrgie> evolution still will not start
[01:27] <storrgie> the only thing im worried about loosing is my contacts
[01:27] <coppro> IMAP can't handle though; you'll have to mirror those
[01:27] <coppro> *copy
[01:28] <storrgie> can i just copy my 'addressbook'?
[01:28] <wgrant> storrgie: Move away ~/.gconf/apps/evolution
[01:28] <bsnider> i wonder if everything is kept in one file, like in outlook, or if the addressbook is separate fromt eh messages
[01:28] <wgrant> That should be the last of your settings gone, so Evo should at least start.
[01:29] <wgrant> bsnider: ~/.evolution and common sense seem to suggest the latter.
[01:30] <bsnider> are you saing putting everything in one massive pst file is a failure of common sense?
[01:30] <coppro> yes
[01:30] <wgrant> bsnider: No. It sounds like a *fantastic* idea.
[01:31] <storrgie> so evolution just does not want to start no matter what
[01:31] <wgrant> storrgie: What is the error that it gives?
[01:31] <coppro> wgrant: yeah. I totally forgot that a monolithic database allows one corrupt entry to bring the entire thing down!
[01:31] <storrgie> no error
[01:31] <storrgie> just never shows up
[01:31] <wgrant> storrgie: Try a terminal...
[01:33] <storrgie> i get a couple like this:
[01:33] <storrgie> (evolution:8528): camel-WARNING **: Could not find key entry for word 'xtvxoo6ustc': Success
[01:33] <shane2peru> how would I get the kde4 desktop installed on ibex?
[01:33] <wgrant> shane2peru: Install kubuntu-desktop
[01:34] <shane2peru> wgrant: that is the kde4 then?
[01:34] <bsnider> camel warning? it's telling you to avoid camels?
[01:34] <wgrant> shane2peru: We have no KDE3.
[01:34] <wgrant> bsnider: Yes. Perl is bad.
[01:34] <shane2peru> wgrant: ooooh, kde3 out the door
[01:34] <shane2peru> wgrant: do you have it?
[01:34] <wgrant> shane2peru: I don't.
[01:35] <wgrant> I'm a GNOME person.
[01:35] <shane2peru> is kde4 better now?  I used it before
[01:35] <shane2peru> wgrant: me too
[01:35] <wgrant> It's very shiny.
[01:35] <storrgie> ok so
[01:35] <wgrant> And somewhat usable now we're at 4.1.
[01:35] <shane2peru> I just like to see it since it si new.
[01:35] <storrgie> im going to just remove evolution
[01:35] <storrgie> and re-install it
[01:35] <storrgie> it appears to be dead
[01:35] <wgrant> shane2peru: The Kubuntu live CD is good.
[01:35] <wgrant> storrgie: That's very unlikely to fix anything.
[01:35] <storrgie> how so? then i can start fresh
[01:35] <shane2peru> storrgie: just move all the evolution config files.
[01:36] <wgrant> That won't remove your settings.
[01:36] <bsnider> it might, since he blew away his userland files
[01:36] <wgrant> Packages cannot touch settings.
[01:36] <storrgie> i didnt blow them away yet
[01:36] <wgrant> And your user can't touch package files.
[01:36] <storrgie> but i could
[01:36] <wgrant> Ooh.
[01:36] <wgrant> You might need to kill e-d-s first.
[01:36] <storrgie> e-d-s?
[01:36] <storrgie> man i feel like formatting
[01:36] <wgrant> Move ~/.gconf/apps/evolution and ~/.evolution out of the way, then log out and in.
[01:36] <storrgie> ok
[01:36] <wgrant> Also, maybe see if it starts in a guest session.
[01:37] <shane2peru> yeah, what wgrant said. :)
[01:37] <wgrant> I always forget that e-d-s sticks around permanently.
[01:37] <storrgie> brb
[01:37] <shane2peru> wgrant: how difficult is it to remove kubuntu-desktop once it is installed?
[01:37] <storrgie> just a cntrl+alt+Bksp right?
[01:37] <bsnider> is that a program that would start in a guest session?
[01:37] <wgrant> bsnider: Yes.
[01:37] <shane2peru> wgrant: I don't like liveCD's
[01:38] <wgrant> shane2peru: You can probably just remove kubuntu-desktop then apt-get autoremove to get rid of it all.
[01:38] <shane2peru> wgrant: that is what I was just thinking myself.
[01:39] <shane2peru> I think I would have to track down a few of those other apps it installs though, because I currently have k3b installed and it doesn't try to remove it when I run autoremove
[01:39] <wgrant> THat's because you installed k3b manually.
[01:40] <shane2peru> wgrant: hmm, I will give it a try, I did like the new look of kde4
[01:41] <storrgie> roar
[01:41] <storrgie> back
[01:41]  * wgrant escapes from storrgie
[01:41] <storrgie> ok is there anything i should know before setting up imap
[01:41] <shane2peru> lol
[01:41] <wgrant> storrgie: It is awesome. That is all.
[01:41] <storrgie> wgrant: newbs need to learn too!
[01:41] <wgrant> Well, actually, it's pretty bad, but it's the best we've got.
[01:42] <wgrant> And it's much better than POP3.
[01:42] <storrgie> i mean like setting it up wise, is there anything that is a bad idea
[01:42] <wgrant> Nothing particularly that I can think of.
[01:42] <storrgie> with gmail is there anything special with setup?
[01:42] <storrgie> imap.gmail.com?
[01:43] <wgrant> I will not use Gmail. I don't know.
[01:43] <shane2peru> storrgie: if you log into gmail, it should tell you all the settings
[01:43] <bsnider> wgrant, because of the privacy issues?
[01:43] <shane2peru> storrgie: click on the help setup button inside your gmail account
[01:43] <storrgie> shane2peru: yea i am right now, i just figured i could ask real quick... like if someone rattled pop I could rattle off all the settings
[01:43] <storrgie> bsnider: privacy>?
[01:44] <shane2peru> storrgie: been too long since I set it up. lol :)
[01:44] <wgrant> bsnider: And due to my general issues with Google's business practices, yes.
[01:45] <storrgie> ohhhhh
[01:45] <bsnider> i'm tyrying to think of what issues those could be
[01:45] <storrgie> custom command here? can tunnel over ssh?
[01:45] <bsnider> they do pay andrew morton
[01:45] <bsnider> all of their stuff is open source
[01:45] <wgrant> They hoard information. Etc. They are generally in a pretty powerful monopoly.
[01:45] <storrgie> but they are not evil
[01:46] <wgrant> Because their motto says they aren't? Sure.
[01:46] <storrgie> wait, when using imap, that is only for recieving mail... not sending
[01:46] <storrgie> you still use smtp with google?
[01:46] <bsnider> google isn't a monopoly. they may have cornered a market, but that's because they're good
[01:46] <wgrant> Yes.
[01:47] <wgrant> bsnider: Pretty much everybody uses Google for at least search.
[01:47] <wgrant> And they're taking over the mail market.
[01:47] <bsnider> because they're good
[01:47] <wgrant> That's not relevant.
[01:47] <bsnider> a monopoly is the ability to outlaw your competition
[01:47] <bsnider> google outcompetes, they do not outlaw
[01:47] <bsnider> the government is the only organization that can be a monopoly
[01:48] <bsnider> 'big' does not mean 'bad'
[01:48] <jgoguen> bsnider: so Microsoft isn't a monopoly?
[01:48] <storrgie> wgrant: is it bad to mess with gmails folder structure?
[01:48] <wgrant> jgoguen: Even though they were found guilty of being a legal monopoly. Of course not!
[01:48] <wgrant> storrgie: No idea.
[01:49] <bsnider> microsoft is protected in part by software patents. i don't believe in that nonsense or any other IP
[01:49] <storrgie> anyone using gmail with imap?
[01:49] <jgoguen> bsnider: I can agree with you there, software shouldn't be patentable
[01:49] <ArkoldThos> heya :)
[01:49] <shane2peru> storrgie: nope, I set mine up with pop.
[01:50] <shane2peru> storrgie: did you enable imap on your gmail account?
[01:51] <storrgie> yea, but i want to 'file' all my emails
[01:51] <storrgie> and i tried to create a new folder... but it doesnt seem to like that
[01:51] <shane2peru> storrgie: ok, but you are able to see your emails?
[01:52] <storrgie> shane2peru: yea i can, i just want to file them... alot.
[01:52] <shane2peru> storrgie: hmm, afraid I can't be of much help there.
[01:53] <shane2peru> storrgie: you may have to play around in the settings and see if evolution is setup allowing new folders to be made.
[01:53] <shane2peru> ok, cya all
[01:54] <brock> i am trying to run the enemy territory quake wars installer. it is an executable file but when I try to execute from the command line it says file not found

[01:56] <bigfox> After an upgrade to Intrepid, I am having a problem where programs that I try to load by clicking on them will not load.  However programs that are set to load on login load and work fine.
[01:56] <bigfox> I have a terminal window that loads on startup and when I try to load programs, the terminal output is as fallows:

[02:22] <gaelfx> hey, my Exaile seems to have mysteriously stopped working, it can't read the database file, does anyone have any idea why that might be?
[02:22] <ytoox> I have a sony vaio laptop and the integrated microphone does not work, neither the microphone jack. I tried installing backports following a tutorial but the problem persists. I am using intrepid
[02:22] <ytoox> can someone help me?
[02:23] <Astral_Enigma> ytoox: What sound system are you using?
[02:23] <ytoox> pulseaudio
[02:23] <jbg7474> Intrepid + Palm device = no synch!  Can anyone help?
[02:24] <bozza> hi
[02:24] <Astral_Enigma> Have you checked in the device settings that it's picking up the microphone as a capture device?
[02:24] <bozza> guys i have a problem with synaptic manager
[02:24] <bozza> its not finding anything
[02:24] <Astral_Enigma> My default Intrepid settings had it using a different device for capture for some reason
[02:24] <bozza> i tried deleting sources.list
[02:24] <bozza> and redoing it . but still it doesnt find anything
[02:25] <coppro> you deleted sources.list?
[02:25] <Astral_Enigma> Once I pointed my capture device to PulseAudio, it solved the problem, as I already had my devices configured in pulse
[02:25] <ytoox> Astral_Enigma: yes, and when I use skype it does not record anything
[02:26] <ytoox> I got some other options for microphone but I really don't know what's best
[02:26] <gaelfx> ytoox: well, does your mic work in other apps?
[02:26] <bozza> coppro yes i did . and i reticked all the things in software sources . so it made a new sources.list
[02:26] <bozza> but still didnt work
[02:27] <ytoox> gaelfx: nop
[02:27] <wgrant> bozza: What does 'sudo apt-get update' tell you?
[02:27] <bozza> one sec

[02:28] <KDesk> where is the kde3 apps config save in intrepid?
[02:28] <bozza> wgrant thats what it shows
[02:28] <ytoox> gaelfx: what could I do?
[02:28] <wgrant> bozza: Erm, there's no plain intrepid/main or intrepid/universe?
[02:28] <storrgie> with evolution, is there a way to make the same columns for all views easily?
[02:28] <WelshDragon> Hrmmm..Does anyone else still have that stupid bug where the scrollbar disappears in the tabs in nautilus?
[02:29] <bozza> ok shall i just copy and paste the stuff from here
[02:29] <bozza> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#sources.list
[02:29] <wgrant> WelshDragon: Sometimes when you middle-click on a folder to open a new tab?
[02:29] <gaelfx> ytoox: well, pasting dmesg might help, or lspci
[02:29] <ytoox> ok
[02:29] <wgrant> bozza: Oh my... no.
[02:29] <kubuntu_> hello with the new KDE can you add a firefox icon in panel?  ie(quickstart)
[02:29] <WelshDragon> No wgrant, If i go File > New Tab, the scrollbar disappears on the first tab.
[02:30] <bozza> .... ? no ? ok
[02:30]  * wgrant stabs UbuntuGuide deader than anything has ever been.
[02:30] <JontheEchidna> kubuntu_: you can drag the icon from the menu to the panel
[02:30] <wgrant> bozza: Pastebin your sources.list, and I'll correct it for you.
[02:30] <wgrant> UbuntuGuide is thoroughly on crack.
[02:31] <bozza> pastebin ?
[02:31] <bozza> sorry i never heard that
[02:31] <gaelfx> !paste
[02:31] <ytoox> gaelfx: http://pastebin.com/m4c1b4542
[02:31] <bozza> ok
[02:31]  * wgrant feels sick now.
[02:31] <WelshDragon> Nevermind wgrant, I looked on Launchpad, the bug was never fixed.
[02:31]  * zerwas heals wgrant
[02:32] <kubuntu_> JontheEchidna: i cannot drag anything from menu to my panel
[02:32] <wgrant> UbuntuGuide is even more revoltingly misleading than I thought,.
[02:32] <bozza> http://paste.ubuntu.com/63878/plain/
[02:33] <bozza> wgrant thanks foe helping out btw
[02:33] <wgrant> bozza: Did you mean to omit the first 'd'
[02:33] <wgrant> bozza: np
[02:33] <bozza> one sec will check if its there
[02:33] <JontheEchidna> kubuntu_: oh, it is a bit finicky about where you paste it, in my experience it's much easier if you drag it to your desktop first, then to the panel
[02:33] <bozza> yea the first d is there .. i just didnt paste it in by mistake
[02:34] <JontheEchidna> dragging by the widget handles that pop up
[02:34] <JontheEchidna> the situation should be much improved come KDE 4.2
[02:34] <wgrant> bozza: Use http://paste.ubuntu.com/63880/ instead.
[02:34] <kubuntu_> JontheEchidna: ahhh i gotta someohow get firefox into the widget panel
[02:35] <bozza> ok thanks
[02:35] <gaelfx> ytoox: two questions: what is ForceXPAon and where is your lspci output?
[02:35] <bozza> 1 sec
[02:35] <wgrant> sudo apt-get update, and see if you can see packages then. If not, pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update.
[02:35] <kubuntu_> grrrrrr
[02:35] <ytoox> gaelfx: lspci http://pastebin.com/m175b1889
[02:35] <ytoox> I don't know what force xpa is
[02:36] <JontheEchidna> kubuntu_: if you drag it to the veeeery edge of the panel it won't give you the red circle with cross icon and you'll be able to put it in
[02:36] <JontheEchidna> anyway, good night
[02:37] <bozza> shit i will break this laptop into pieces
[02:37] <bozza> still nothing
[02:37] <kubuntu_> thanks
[02:37] <bozza> i did mention i am on 8.10
[02:37] <bozza> yes ?
[02:38] <wgrant> bozza: You did. Pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update, please
[02:38] <wgrant> bozza: Where are you looking that you can't find packages?
[02:38] <bozza> ok
[02:38] <bozza> i type in search
[02:38] <bozza> then type vlc
[02:38] <bozza> and ok
[02:38] <bozza> and nothing shows up
[02:38] <wgrant> Where?
[02:38] <bozza> where as in 8.04 it did
[02:38] <bozza> in synaptic package manager
[02:39] <bozza> the main window
[02:39] <bozza> where it lists all packages
[02:39] <wgrant> In the box in the toolbar?
[02:39] <bozza> ohhhh
[02:40] <bozza> i had vlc in the quick searchbar
[02:40] <bozza> as well as the normal search
[02:40] <gaelfx> ytoox: not sure why your mic wouldn't be working, maybe you should try using the alsa-info.sh script, google it and paste output
[02:40] <bozza> which for some reason ,, didnt let me display the result
[02:40] <bozza> how annoying was that
[02:40] <gaelfx> ytoox: you're sure the problem isn't the volume setting?
[02:40] <wgrant> bozza: It's possible that the index wasn't yet complete.
[02:40] <bozza> i spent nearly an hour ... and i feel like a monkey now
[02:40] <wgrant> bozza: I like easy fixes like that.
[02:40] <bozza> yea i like it as well . but i just feel like an idiot
[02:41] <bozza> :P
[02:41] <wgrant> That is a bit of UI roadkill.
[02:41] <ytoox> gaelfx: well, when I try skype (which has control over capture) it lowers it be default, like it's not present
[02:41] <gaelfx> ytoox: you should be able to change that setting in Skype
[02:41] <wgrant> In fact, that UI is *stupid*.
[02:41] <ytoox> gaelfx: and all the internal mic icons on the alsamixer get shut down by default
[02:41]  * wgrant might file a bug later.
[02:41] <ytoox> I know, even when i changed that, the mic still does not work
[02:42] <bozza> wgrant thanks so much for your time
[02:42] <gaelfx> ytoox: which version of Skype are you using? (Skype, Skype-Static or Skype-Static-oss?
[02:42] <bozza> haha no ui is good
[02:42] <bozza> we are not in msdos world anymore :D
[02:42] <ytoox> gaelfx: where do I get the alsa script
[02:42] <ytoox> ?
[02:42] <wgrant> bozza: No problem.
[02:42] <ytoox> skype
[02:43] <bozza> i love 8.10 .. i just plugged my phone in though usb and my laptop connected to the internet like magic
[02:43] <bozza> even in windows i have to install software and drivers for it to work
[02:43] <bozza> but with 8.10 . just plugged in my phone . and it worked straight away :D
[02:44] <wgrant> NM0.7 rocks.
[02:44] <bozza> easily the nicest os
[02:44] <chuckf> anyone have info about the usb-creator? Specifically is it designed not to use a SD card as a valid medium?
[02:44] <wgrant> Good to hear.
[02:44] <bozza> nm0.7?
[02:44] <wgrant> bozza: Network Manager 0.7.
[02:44] <bozza> oh ok :)
[02:45] <bozza> ubuntu should be more common . like its easiest the nicest os
[02:45] <bozza> i just love the updates
[02:46] <gaelfx> ytoox: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh
[02:46] <wgrant> chuckf: It checks that it is connected through USB, isn't a disk, and is removable.
[02:47] <wgrant> chuckf: I don't have an SD card with me, so can't tell which criterion is failed by them.
[02:47] <chuckf> okay, thanks wgrant
[02:47] <gaelfx> ytoox: save it, right-click, change properties to make it executable, the run ./alsa-info.sh in terminal
[02:48] <chuckf> wgrant, are you on that project?
[02:48] <wgrant> chuckf: I'm not.
[02:48] <chuckf> k
[02:48] <ytoox> ok
[02:48] <chuckf> thanks for the info
[02:48] <KDesk> How can I change the color or and KDE 3 app in intrepid?
[02:51] <OldPaths616> I upgraded to 8.20 last night and lost networking.  3 other systemsstill online so Im sure it was upgrade.  how to test networking on that desktop install?
[02:51] <gaelfx> ytoox: but really, I need to know which version of Skype you're using also
[02:51] <chuckf> wgrant, just found a bug on it, don't know why I missed it before
[02:52] <gaelfx> ytoox: you should really try to use skype-static-oss
[02:52] <gaelfx> ytoox: are you using the medibuntu repos?
[02:52] <ytoox> gaelfx: yeah, and the alsa website is not loading
[02:53] <gaelfx> ytoox: I couldn't get Skype to work properly until I started using static-oss version
[02:53] <ytoox> ok
[02:53] <jbg7474> Can anyone help with getting gpilot talking to a Palm device in Intrepid (worked in Hardy)?
[02:54] <ytoox> gaelfx: where else can I get the alsa script?
[02:55] <gaelfx> ytoox: I don't know, that's the only place I've ever seen it
[02:55] <gaelfx> ytoox: try a google search
[02:55] <ytoox> mmm
[02:56] <ytoox> I did
[02:56] <ytoox> I did
[02:57] <ytoox> gaelfx: I tried the static version and I can only hear a buzz when the test call replays my recording
[02:58] <gaelfx> ytoox: static-oss
[02:58] <gaelfx> ytoox: not static
[02:58] <gaelfx> ytoox: you must not have looked very hard: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/alsa-utils/alsa-info.sh
[02:59] <ytoox> no, I installed skype-static-oss
[03:01] <ytoox> running the script
[03:04] <ytoox> gaelfx: this is the output
[03:04] <ytoox> http://pastebin.com/m43767949
[03:04] <jbg7474> <---- hears nothing but crickets on this subject
[03:11] <nemo> Hey, I turned down the combined logout/IM thingy 'cause I didn't care about the IM thing
[03:11] <nemo> but the magic guest account thing seems to be part and parcel
[03:11] <nemo> how do I reenable that
[03:11] <nemo> is it even possible?
[03:13] <jbg7474> Anyone out there using a Palm device at all with Intrepid?
[03:13] <ytoox> gaelfx: what do you see?
[03:15] <mxweas> is anyone here running ubuntu intrepid?
[03:15] <mxweas> if so could you get me a quick file?
[03:15] <zerwas> mxweas, o_O which? see packages.ubuntu.com
[03:15] <coppro> huh?
[03:16] <coppro> quick file?
[03:16]  * coppro is running intrepid
[03:16] <mxweas>  /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh
[03:16] <mxweas> just post it on pastebin or something maybe
[03:16] <mxweas> thx
[03:17] <coppro> I don't have that
[03:17] <tinman08> help sudo configure command
[03:17] <coppro> tinman08: huh?
[03:17] <mxweas> I think I just found it on my own system
[03:17] <mxweas> needed to install something
[03:17] <mxweas> thx anyway
[03:17] <Winkie> tinman08: you're probably looking for the command 'visudo'
[03:18] <gaelfx> ytoox: I don't know man, I can't see anything that pops out to me, I think you need someone with more experience sifting through alsa problems
[03:18] <tinman08> is that the dpkg 1?
[03:18] <gaelfx> ytoox: if you ever see crimsun on, ask him
[03:18] <Winkie> tinman08: sorry, i don't know what you mean
[03:21] <captain_> is this a safe way to upgrade to 8.10 right now? by press Alt+F2 and type in “update-manager -d” (without the quotes)
[03:22] <wgrant> captain_: That's right.
[03:22] <coppro> no sudo?
[03:22] <coppro> shouldn't he use gksu?
[03:22] <captain_> wgrant, thanks!
[03:22] <rsch> is e17 avalible for intrepid?
[03:23] <wgrant> coppro: It should ask if it needs it.
[03:24] <rsch> how do i install it?
[03:24] <coppro> e17?
[03:24] <rsch> enlightenment17
[03:26] <OldPaths616> I lost networking after doing what captain_ suggested and I don't know how to test or get it back
[03:27] <captain_> OldPaths616 what have you done? I am still downloading the updates now
[03:28] <captain_> OldPaths616 you didn't already get to the installing did you?
[03:28] <OldPaths616> I did the Alt_F2 update.  it went well but I don't have networkking on that machine after reboot
[03:29] <OldPaths616> yes, it installed great, no issues
[03:29] <captain_> OldPaths616 how long ago? Some of your old repositories were disabled, what about restricted drivers?
[03:30] <a1len> Is there any good programs for...aesthetically enhancing Intrepid?
[03:30] <soreau> compiz-fusion?
[03:31] <captain_> x2 for compiz
[03:31] <a1len> Thanks guys.
[03:31] <OldPaths616> I did the install last night.  before install.  it told me it would disable third party repos.  my monitor used restricted niividea
[03:32] <dstambou> hi. For some reason, when I switch on desktop  affects, I lose all my virtual desktops. Any idea how to fix this?
[03:33] <wgrant> OldPaths616: We're all waiting for nvidia to update their drivers, unfortunately.
[03:33] <gregbrady> I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit from a usb drive and at the partitioning screen I keep getting the error, too small.  It is a 500 GB drive that I am dividing in two.  What is too small?
[03:34] <OldPaths616> ok,but those drives shouldn't affect networking right?
[03:34] <nemo> gregbrady: some people in past I seem to recall getting that because either the tool or them was confusing, like 250gigabytes for 250 megabytes
[03:34] <nemo> gregbrady: or something similar
[03:34] <nemo> gregbrady: but, yeah, no clue without seeing exactly what you're doing
[03:35] <wgrant> OldPaths616: Right, they're just video drivers.
[03:35] <secret901> I'm having enabling visual effects in Ibex
[03:36] <OldPaths616> thought now.  so I'm still at a loss as to what happened to networking :-(
[03:36] <secret901> When I try to enable visual effects, it just switches back to "None"
[03:38] <captain_> OldPaths616, I always seem to have to re-enable my broadcom restricted driver on both my machines, have you checked the restricted drives since the install?
[03:38] <gregbrady> nemo: no, this is a 500 GB drive.  No confusion
[03:38] <coppro> secret901: did they work in hardy?
[03:38] <fserve> i need help, my gnome-terminal.schemas got corrupted, can anyone dcc send it to me? - INTREPID
[03:38] <secret901> coppro: yes
[03:38] <coppro> hmm
[03:39] <secret901> coppro: My graphics driver is Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller
[03:39] <fserve> plz, someone?
[03:39] <fserve> just locate gnome-terminal.schemas
[03:39] <fserve> then send it to me
[03:39] <OldPaths616> my network has never used restricted drives, always just been supported.  The only restricted is the monitor drivers
[03:43] <kubuntu_> i am having trouble configuring my panel in kde4
[03:44] <kubuntu_> i get it so messed up i have to delete files in the ~/.kde4 directory and reboot
[03:44] <kubuntu_> let's say I remove kickoff then try to start that widget again, it pops up in the right corner of the panel
[03:45] <binspace> Hello, anybody know where the System Beep preferences widget went?
[03:45] <coppro> kubuntu_: to save the preferences you must do a clean logoff
[03:45] <kubuntu_> coppro: i am trying to get firefox as a 'quicklaunch'
[03:46] <coppro> kubuntu_: I haven't used that widget sadly
[03:47] <fserve> can someone dcc send to me gnome-terminal.schemas (ubuntu 8.10)
[03:47] <coppro> fserve: someone possibly can. Or you could reconfigure the package it's in
[03:47] <fserve> i cant
[03:48] <secret901> I can't enable Visual effects in Ibex
[03:48] <wgrant> fserve: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-terminal-data
[03:48] <fserve> ...
[03:49] <kubuntu_> anyone else here confused with all the triangles after you click the cashew
[03:49] <fserve> wgrant, do not work
[03:50] <wgrant> !doesn't work | fserve
[03:50] <seclm193> Hello all
[03:50] <fserve> i cant control c the error : (
[03:50] <wgrant> fserve: Huh?
[03:51] <clm193> Anyone know of any network manager fixes for Intrepid Ibex for secure networks?
[03:52] <wgrant> clm193: It might help if we knew what were meant to be fixing for you.
[03:53] <fserve> sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-terminal-data

[03:55] <wgrant> Somebody did, and it wasn't the packaging system.
[03:56] <fserve> maybe fsck
[03:56] <wgrant> clm193: You have selected the wrong authentication mechanism.
[03:56] <fserve> another error now

[03:57] <wgrant> That only requires my staff or student username and password.
[03:58] <clm193> wgrant, that one is also, but with that selected I still can not connect.
[03:58] <OldPaths616> dude, I don
[03:58] <clm193> wgrant, could the network manager in Ibex be broken?
[03:58] <wgrant> clm193: What do you mean you can not connect? That isn't very descriptive.
[03:58] <wgrant> clm193: Works fine for me - more likely your wireless drivers.
[03:58] <clm193> It connects to the server, but wont authorize
[03:59] <wgrant> Which variety of wireless card do you have?
[03:59] <clm193> wgrant, I'm not sure if it's the wireless driver.  Can it be the driver if I can connect fine at my home wireless, but not at school?
[03:59] <wgrant> Yes.
[04:00] <wgrant> Lots of drivers have stupid broken WPA(2) (Enterprise) implementations.
[04:00] <OldPaths616> i don't know exactly which change fixed it but networking is working after cleaning out the /etc/network/interfaces file.  if others come with this issue might recomend the same.  :-D
[04:00] <wgrant> Some drivers will just stop working after a while.
[04:00] <clm193> wgrant, can you help me with the driver?
[04:00] <wgrant> Some drivers will occasionally stop receiving non-broadcast packets after a while only when using PEAP with WPA>
[04:00] <wgrant> clm193: Probably not, but you could at least advise us on which driver you are using.
[04:01] <clm193> I'm using a dell wireless 1505 dranft n
[04:01] <wgrant> Ah.
[04:01] <wgrant> Sounds buggy.
[04:01] <clm193> not sure, i'm using a driver that ubuntu installed.
[04:03] <clm193> I know dell is now supporting linux and making drivers for it, can the 8.04 drivers work in 8.10
[04:06] <clm193> wgrant, it's using BroadCom STA driver
[04:07] <wgrant> Ahahaha Broadcom.
[04:07] <clm193> what's that mean?
[04:07] <clm193> What I'm not understanding is why it worked in ubuntu 8.04, but not in 8.10
[04:07] <wgrant> Broadcom drivers have traditionally been bad.
[04:08] <wgrant> I've never had the displeasure of using them.
[04:08] <clm193> lol, i just want my wireless to work :(
[04:09] <clm193> wgrant, any ideas on how I can get this working?
[04:09] <wgrant> No idea.
[04:10] <clm193> Now i have a friend that has a different problem with 8.10 and he can't get it working either
[04:10]  * wgrant -> home
[04:10] <clm193> I thought maybe the network manager isn't complete yet
[04:12] <eross> with day 1 left to go, i take it the beta will be release and good to go?
[04:13] <snadge> is it ever? :P
[04:13] <eross> lol, kinda scared to upgrade but is usual fear
[04:13] <eross> 8.04 was painless though
[04:13] <DanaG> wtf is a STA?  I know b43, but 'wl' is weird.
[04:14] <clm193> well, i just think, any update to 8.10 will be released with the update from beta to release
[04:16] <dug_> eross: you might try running partimage from a live cd, to create an exact snapshot of your partition before you upgrade
[04:16] <clm193> When I installed 8.04, the driver I'm using now worked fine then, but 8.10 doesn't like it
[04:18] <clm193> that's why i'm not exactly sure that it's my driver
[04:18] <kubuntu_> i heard the hybrid drivers that broadcom made are going to be in 8.10 so that no need for fwcutter, b43, or ndiswrapper
[04:19] <eross> i'll check it out dug, thanks
[04:19] <kubuntu_> im actually on a broadcom 4306 and yesterdays install of 8.10 went well and all i did was install the b43 application that i was told too
[04:19] <clm193> b43?
[04:20] <kubuntu_> b43-fwcutter application
[04:21] <clm193> should I try that?  8.10 came with a driver that works
[04:22] <DanaG> Supposedly 'wl' is better than b43.
[04:22] <DanaG> me wonders what the heck STA stands for.
[04:23] <clm193> can someone help me out on how to use it
[04:23] <DanaG> S......T......A.... ? I've got nothing.
[04:23] <kubuntu_> clm193: go to your hardware drivers and it should be suggested for yoiu
[04:23] <clm193> it's there, enabled, and in use
[04:23] <clm193> but I still can't connect to a WPA Enterprise network
[04:23] <kubuntu_> clm193: you won't be able to from what I understand
[04:24] <kubuntu_> NDISwrapper will let you though
[04:24] <clm193> umm, ok, how do i connect that way?
[04:24] <kubuntu_> lol that could take a while
[04:24] <kubuntu_> there is an entire support page on ndiswrapper hang on
[04:25] <clm193> umm, i need internet
[04:26] <xiaopi_> does somebody know if they fixed the logitech webcam support in RC ? last alpha had problem since they started loading it as kernel module
[04:26] <pawan> when is the new version coming out
[04:27] <xiaopi_> today pawan
[04:27] <pawan> today is 29
[04:30] <xiaopi_> does it really matter? you have to get it as soon as it gets out? upgrade from RC is gonna go smoothly so i don't see the urge :)
[04:31] <kubuntu_> will there be major updates from the current rc? or just another quick daily update and walllaaa!!
[04:32] <gaelfx> prolly the latter
[04:33] <dug_> xiaopi_: i tested a logitech webcam yesterday, it works okay
[04:33] <dug_> just reddish in kopete tho
[04:33] <kubuntu_> i hope the update roasts my cashew, cause it aint tasting too good right now
[04:33] <gaelfx> dug_: how did you get the drivers for it?
[04:33] <xiaopi_> thx dug_, didn't have time to try lately
[04:34] <dug_> gaelfx: I just plugged it in and tried it
[04:34] <dug_> i may have installed stuff a while back in hardy that is still installed, don't remember
[04:34] <radams> Hi, I'm getting KP's very frequently. /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/syslog only seem to be returning info from my current boot, though. How can I view logs from when the KP happened, or what is the best way to troubleshoot this? (Kubuntu 8.10)
[04:35] <DanaG> Odd... my down and left arrows don't repeat, but up and right do.
[04:35] <DanaG> What's up with that?
[04:35] <gaelfx> dug_: ah, ok, thanks
[04:35] <gaelfx> DanaG: did you ever solve your bluetooth problem?
[04:35] <xiaopi_> down repeat normally on mine
[04:35] <DanaG> The rfcomm?  Nope, can't figure out a nice way to do it -- it's like I have to go back to manually editing config files.
[04:36] <DanaG> And even though PA 0.9.13 (on the PPA) supposedly supports bluetooth audio.... I see no way to set it up.
[04:38] <radams> oh hi Joey
[04:40] <KDesk> isn't there anny binary for opera 9.6?
[04:41] <radams> ok, i've found stuff in /var/log/dmesg.0, but it looks like if there's a kp, nothing gets committed? every kp boot seems to not be logged in the dmesg.* files...
[04:41] <DanaG> Panic means you can't log anything.
[04:41] <DanaG> The only way you could debug would be through something like a serial console.
[04:42] <radams> so logging isn't done when it happens? in other words, I can't get a log from 5 minutes before the KP?
[04:42] <DanaG> Well, there's supposedly some crashkernel thing... but it doesn't do anything for me.
[04:42] <DanaG> From before?  Hmm, 5 minutes is quite a while...
[04:42] <radams> I understand that when the KP actually occurrs, you can't log, but what about shortly before?
[04:42] <pawan> then
[04:42] <DanaG> Hmm, it should do log rotation, shouldn't it?
[04:42] <radams> I can't find ANY logs with boot data except from my current boot
[04:43] <DanaG> Hmm, look in /var/log/messages.0
[04:43] <DanaG> The numbered ones have some from previous days, for me.
[04:43] <radams> k, checking now
[04:43] <joeyadams> Isn't there a way to get kexec to come on at a kernel panic and grab the dmesg?
[04:43] <Roger_Klotz> hey guys, I just updated to the 8.10 rc on my laptop, and when i boot i get to the login screen, login is sucessful, and then the screen goes to prompt and has a bunch of weird colors and symobols. Ive ran all the recovery tools that come with linux, but it still does this. ive tried apt-get update, sucessfully gotten the packages and installed, but its not fixing it.
[04:44] <radams> ok, I confirm that, DanaG. Looking through those logs now
[04:44] <DanaG> Yeah, there's the linux-crashdump thing... but it always just tells me to pass a crashkernel= parameter... even though it DOES pass one.
[04:46] <dug_> Roger_Klotz: i don't know how to fix that, but sounds like a graphics driver problem.  check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for example
[04:47] <RAdams1> DanaG: looks like info is in that log, but just as I was looking at it, I got another KP D:
[04:47] <DanaG> =þ
[04:47] <DanaG> oh yeah, most awesome smiley char ever: 'þ'
[04:47] <DanaG> :þ xþ XÞ
[04:48] <Roger_Klotz> dug_: if it was a graphics driver problem woulnt failsafe startup work?
[04:48] <Roger_Klotz> wouldnt*
[04:49] <dug_> Roger_Klotz: i just remember a year ago i had graphics issues, and nothing would start up.  i had to control-alt-f2 or whatever to get to a command line and try different things.  don't remember how i fixed it tho
[04:51] <RAdams> heh
[04:51] <RAdams> hm... if a call to my wlan fails 31000 times in a row, should I be concerned? :P
[04:51] <RAdams> going to disable wireless... I have a sneaking suspicion that's part of the problem...
[04:51] <RAdams> I've never seen "last message repeated 31925 times" before... that was special
[04:53] <DanaG> Oh yeah, I downgraded Xorg (yes, very risky) to "fix" what nvidia has left broken for 5 MONTHS!.... and compiz sometimes randomly hard-locks to where nither ctrl-alt-backspace nor alt-sysrq-k will kill it.
[04:53] <DanaG> I end up having to ssh in and killall -9 compiz.real.... at which point, Xorg gets the ctrl-alt-backspace, and quits.
[04:54] <DanaG> Rather quite very annoying,
[04:54] <DanaG> .
[05:00] <rberckma> I just installed 8.10 and I was trying to set up my old metacity keybindings in gconf-editor. It seems binding keys for such targets as move_to_workspace_1 has no
[05:00] <rberckma> +effect... any ideas?
[05:12] <ripps> One of the many things I wanted fixed more than anything: faster gtk dialogs. The open/save dialogs take just long enough to annoy me. But perhaps that's just the ADD talking]
[05:18] <gaelfx> does anyone know much about the sdp daemon?
[05:23] <Neurologic> Anyone available for a quick question?
[05:23] <td123> Neurologic: just ask
[05:24] <Neurologic> Well, last release of Ubuntu was a lot of drama, and circles, ended up not finding a solution to a problem with my networking card. With Ibex coming out, I wonder if there's any progress on problems with Intel WiFi Link wireless cards?
[05:25] <wishie> odd, my intel wifi card just works.
[05:25] <bullgard4> Where can I find a compilation of the new features of Intrepid Ibex (compared with Hardy)?
[05:25] <wishie> (with hardy)
[05:26] <td123> wishie: that's no surprise.. the real surprise is half of the things that didn't work in hardy, work in intrepid out of the box (rc)
[05:26] <elpargo> bullgard4, in the download page of every release there is a "what's new"
[05:26] <gaelfx> does anyone use exaile and have problems with loading their library?
[05:26] <td123> wishie: on my hardware
[05:27] <Neurologic> wishie, I have an Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, I had a huge run around, with no solutions =( Basically, it rendered my laptop unable to connect to wireless :S
[05:27] <Neurologic> So I had to just sit and hope for the next release to have a solution, hence me being here to ask.
[05:28] <wishie> i have a...
[05:28] <wishie> 07:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)
[05:28] <wishie> and it works out of the box on hardy for me.
[05:28] <bullgard4> elpargo: Does there exist a "download page" of Intrepid Ibex? What is its address?
[05:28] <Neurologic> Really?
[05:29] <wishie> bullgard4: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/   <-- daily build.
[05:29] <Neurologic> Mine didn't work AT ALL.
[05:29] <td123> wishie: I have the same (a little older model though)
[05:29] <wishie> Neurologic: im using it right now..
[05:29] <Neurologic> Didn't even detect networks, multiple networks.
[05:29] <Neurologic> Well that's inconsistent, why would mine not, and yours work, if it's the same card? =P
[05:29] <wishie> Neurologic: not that its relevant, but what laptop ?
[05:29] <gaelfx> http://pastebin.com/d5b531e7b I get these errors when I run exaile, I tried reinstalling python 2.5, but to no avail, does anyone have a suggestion as to what my next step might be?
[05:30] <Neurologic> Dell Inspiron 1525
[05:32] <wishie> hmm, checking something now..
[05:32] <bullgard4> elpargo: In http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ there is no  "what's new". So your answer is wrong.
[05:32] <Neurologic> Sure, any explanation would be more than welcome wishie =)
[05:33] <wishie> Neurologic: did you try the backport modules for it ?
[05:33] <wishie> Neurologic: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-hardy-generic ?
[05:33] <Neurologic> No idea what a backport module is? O_O
[05:33] <elpargo> bullgard4, that wasn't my answer that was wishie, if you let me look for the link I'll provide it.
[05:33] <Neurologic> I was told by support people in #ubuntu to run all sorts of commands, but never that, I don't think.
[05:34] <wishie> Neurologic: im just letting you know what works for me..HP laptop, but same wifi card.
[05:34] <wishie> Neurologic: my wifi light even toggles on/off when i turn the card on/off
[05:34] <ripps> !backports
[05:34] <elpargo> bullgard4, http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta#New%20Features%20since%20Ubuntu%208.04
[05:35] <wishie> Neurologic: and afaik, there is an issue with Wireless N on these cards in Intrepid, but there is a backport for that, too
[05:35] <Neurologic> wishie, Hmm. All right, well considering Ibex is tomorrow, I'll try it, and if I have problems I'll try that then, copied it down.
[05:35] <Neurologic> Thanks a lot.
[05:35] <elpargo> gnome update for me is enough to upgrade :)
[05:35] <wishie> ive got a url if you want..
[05:35] <Neurologic> Sure.
[05:36] <Neurologic> I'm keeping it all to try and get back to using Ubuntu.
[05:36] <bullgard4> elpargo: Thank you very much for your help.
[05:36] <wishie> Neurologic: http://tinyurl.com/3eezkj
[05:36] <wishie> relatd to HP laptops, but the Intel Wifi section will explain some things
[05:36] <Neurologic> Great! Thanks =)
[05:36] <dr_willis> I finially got wireless working with my HP laptop under 8.10 :)
[05:37] <wishie> works for me on 8.04
[05:37] <wishie> heh
[05:37] <Neurologic> I'll download Ibex tomorrow, and if I have any problems, I'll follow those steps.
[05:37] <Neurologic> Thanks again
[05:37] <wishie> im getting an ibex build now
[05:37] <wishie> no worries Neurologic
[05:38] <Neurologic> Sleep for me, Cheers all!
[05:38]  * wishie prays we dont get a big rush of people in #alsa tomorrow..heh
[05:38] <dr_willis> We will have to watch #ubuntu an see how big a # we can get in there. :)
[05:41] <wishie> and i will have to steet clear of #ubuntu..heh
[05:41] <wishie> and perhaps #alsa :)
[05:41] <wishie> i had my work cut out for me with the hardy release
[05:41] <dr_willis> I was thinking i saw the highest total at like a liittle over 3000+  last release
[05:42] <wishie> im kind of annoyed with intrepid, though.. the Kubuntu version anyway
[05:42] <Tukon> wishie: why's that?
[05:42] <dr_willis> Im using gnome now for the foreseable future....
[05:43] <wishie> i need 2.6.27 kernel (in intrepid) for all my laptops keys to work properly.. yet, i still want to use KDE3, which intrepid kubuntu doesnt have..
[05:43] <Tukon> wishie: me too
[05:43] <wishie> so i have to choose between one or the other.. and make my own 2.6.27 for hardy, or build my own kde3 for intrepid
[05:43] <Tukon> but kde4 is really growing on me
[05:43] <Tukon> so i'm sticking it out for now
[05:44] <wishie> ill make the change, one day
[05:44] <wishie> but for now, i have 3.5.9 setup just as i like it, and dont want to change..heh
[05:44] <Tukon> what feature do you need in 3 that isnt in 4?
[05:44] <Tukon> ah
[05:44] <Tukon> this is just making me look forward more to 4.2
[05:44]  * dr_willis waits for service pack 1 for Kde4
[05:45] <wishie> kde 4.1 should have been 4.0
[05:45] <wishie> 4.0 should never have existed :P
[05:45] <Tukon> word to that
[05:46] <Tukon> dr_willis: then we might rename the disti Canonical Kubuntu Linux 9.04 Ultimate Edition
[05:46] <Tukon> ;-)
[05:47] <dr_willis> Dont for get the 2009 at the end
[05:47] <Tukon> lol
[05:47] <dr_willis>  Canonical Kubuntu Linux 9.04 Ultimate Home Supreme Lite Edition 2009
[05:47] <Tukon> sadly it sounds like they are continuing the same kind of crap with windows 7
[05:48] <bullgard4>   What does "to showcase" mean in "New Features since Ubuntu 8.04: These features are showcased for your attention. Please test them and report any bugs you find on Launchpad: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu"?
[05:48] <wgrant> ... with Advanced Security Technologies!
[05:48] <Tukon> anyway peace
[05:48] <wishie> hehe
[05:48] <dr_willis> 'shown off'
[05:48] <wishie> more stuff 'just worked' with hardy, than with XP SP3 on this laptop..
[05:48] <dr_willis> 'to be put on display'
[05:49] <wgrant> wishie: But Windows is clearly better. It's better, I tell you!
[05:49] <dr_willis> Ive noticed Vista crashing more and more on my machunes with each new update for it..
[05:49] <wishie> dr_willis: ive experienced Fista crashing once.. about 30 seconds before i wiped the drive clean..heh
[05:50] <dr_willis>  Vista (not responding)
[05:50] <dr_willis> should be the name of the Next Vista release.
[05:50] <wishie> started the install, during install it downloaded 1.3Gb of updates.. booted for the first time, explorer crashed, so i formatted it :P
[05:50] <wishie> no no..
[05:50] <wishie> the next version should be Fista.
[05:51] <wishie> Fista - Bend over and take it edition
[05:51] <wrinkliez> hey guys, I have recently installed 8.10 and the brightness applet wont work
[05:51] <wrinkliez> any ideas? :(
[05:51] <pdlnhrd> i am having a hard time having my computer  recoginzing my DV device (i want to capture video in Kino) and it says /dev/raw1394  doesn't work   but it doesn't exist   how can I make it exist lsmod shows that the module is loaded.  jason@bukowski:~$ ls -la /dev/raw1394   ls: cannot access /dev/raw1394: No such file or directory   Anyone help me with this or suggest another DV capture program?
[05:52] <dr_willis> You may need to be sure the proper moduiles are loaded...
[05:52] <pdlnhrd> here is a pastebin of my system http://pastebin.com/d37e9dcb0
[05:53] <skwashd> for the last 2 or 3 days i have been getting /var filled up (it is a separate partition) with the following
[05:53] <skwashd> Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.27-7-generic #1
[05:53] <skwashd> any ideas?
[05:53] <skwashd> lemme pastbin the backtrace
[05:53] <pdlnhrd> the modules was loaded before...now it isn't... is there something to make it persist?
[05:54] <wrinkliez> anyone have any idea about why the brightness applet isnt working?
[05:55] <wrinkliez> right on
[05:56] <dr_willis> theres a Modules autoload directory/file in /etc/ somewhere.. or modprobe it in rc.local
[05:56] <skwashd> here it is http://pastebin.ca/1239374
[05:56] <skwashd> pdlnhrd: try adding it to /etc/modules
[05:59] <pdlnhrd> the modules is now loaded... crw-rw---- 1 root video 171, 0 2008-10-29 00:55 /dev/raw1394   and if i try to run gksudo kino (which i know i shouldn't) it still doesn't recoginize my device.... any other ideas/
[06:00] <dr_willis> be sure the app is looking at the right device..   Ither then that.. no idea
[06:08] <pdlnhrd1> o.k.   i have one other problem and that is with dual video cards and daul display.   I can't configure the second monitor... here is some info about my system: http://pastebin.com/d3108d4d9
[06:08] <pdlnhrd1> should i go with the propreitary drivers?
[06:10] <pdlnhrd1> preference -> screen resolution on shows one display and the catalyst control center only shows one display under display manager.... should i just install the ATI drivers?
[06:11] <f|uke> Why wouldn't you install the Ati driver? Do they have good linux support?
[06:12] <pdlnhrd1> i guess i like to keep using the open-source drivers.... i was curious if anyone else has had any exeprience
[06:12] <pdlnhrd1> plus i thought 8.10 had increase support for dual head displays
[06:14] <pdlnhrd1> and the propritery driver doesn't support 8.10
[06:16] <f|uke> nvidia has killer linux support. I'm happy to use their proprietary driver. the nvidia settings manager has excellent dual screen support. But I have no experience with ATi. :|
[06:17] <pdlnhrd1> fjuke:   while i agree up until this current box. i have been using nvidia completely.   but with ati's opensourcing everythign including 3d support i wanted to support them.... i guess i will just have to wait
[06:17] <lemonade> huh, just woked and read that nvidia had kille_d_ linux support, I got scared
[06:19] <DanaG> I'm going ATI with my next laptop.
[06:20] <DanaG> I've had enough issues with nvidia, old and new, in both Windows and Linux.
[06:20] <gaelfx> help! my computer keeps randomly playing parts of songs and then stopping and I have no audio player open! I'm scared....
[06:20] <DanaG> gaelfx: it may be the preview on icon hover.
[06:20] <DanaG> I liked ATI's Windows drivers the last time I used them, which was during the 9800->X800 era.
[06:21]  * DanaG tests a command:
[06:21] <DanaG> !wrong
[06:21] <DanaG> dang.
[06:21] <DanaG> I submitted this: wrong is You're Doing It Wrong.
[06:21] <lemonade> i've hated ati, now i like nvidia - if i'm someday going to hate their proprietary driver, i'll go intel :D
[06:21] <pdlnhrd1> the windows ATI drivers blow chuncks... i have to reboot everytime i switch from crossfire.... but i do have pretty new cards and they might be working out the kinks
[06:22] <gaelfx> DanaG: there's a preview on icon hover?
[06:22] <gaelfx> cool
[06:22] <f|uke> intel for graphics? You might as well stab yourself in the eye with a fork
[06:23] <lemonade> huh, i've had no problems with intel
[06:23] <lemonade> i'm no gamer though
[06:23] <elpargo> is python2.6 the default in this release, or that didn't made the date?
[06:23] <f|uke> Ah. Right. Probably not concerned with the eye-candy too.
[06:23] <xiaopi_> anybody using last Ktorrent with gnome on RC? he's really CPU eater
[06:24] <lemonade> f|uke: actually i have compiz working very well
[06:24] <f|uke> Dont expect that if you switch to intel o.O
[06:24] <lemonade> in intel that is
[06:24] <lemonade> i use it at work
[06:24] <f|uke> huh.
[06:24] <xiaopi_> got compriz to work well with last intel integrated chip too
[06:25] <lemonade> do't remember whhat card it is
[06:25] <lemonade> don't
[06:25] <f|uke> I still declare that they suck.
[06:25] <xiaopi_> suck for what? playing?
[06:25] <f|uke> For graphic
[06:25] <xiaopi_> for example?
[06:25] <f|uke> graphics and supoort
[06:25] <f|uke> support. >< doh.
[06:26] <wishie> intel is well supported for compiz and friends
[06:26] <f|uke> Can you run a desktop cube and spin it without chop?
[06:26] <pdlnhrd1> i have everything working well with my ATI cards 3d acceleration, direct rendering, compiz... except i can't do dual display..... :(
[06:26] <xiaopi_> you still use cube everyday ? lol
[06:26] <wishie> f|uke: of course you can. the 'chopping' is only VSync
[06:26] <xiaopi_> desktop wall is so much more efficient
[06:27] <dr_willis> Cube: 'eye candy used to make windows users drool,'
[06:27] <f|uke> Yes. I use it to make my friends jealous.
[06:27] <f|uke> haaaaa
[06:27] <dr_willis> Then you turn it OFF to get real work done
[06:28] <wishie> i have compiz enabled all the time on this laptop
[06:28] <xiaopi_> you also put all effect on random if you wanna impress people
[06:28] <f|uke> Yah well. Maybe. I dont pay much attention to it, thats true
[06:28] <f|uke> Yah, done that too
[06:28] <dr_willis> xiaopi_,  been there.. done that...
[06:28] <dr_willis> :)
[06:28] <dr_willis> 'the windows explode when you close them' --- COOL! we want linux...
[06:28] <wishie> rofl.. Second Reality demo, C64 port..haha
[06:28] <xiaopi_> but in the end, get rid of most of the eye candy, kept the fade in/out and desktopwall
[06:28] <wishie> oh, this warrants getting the C64 out of the cupboard!
[06:29] <dr_willis> I have several C64s :)
[06:29] <xiaopi_> and taskbar preview too.. exept from that :P
[06:29] <lemonade> me too
[06:29] <lemonade> and yeah, 2nd reality for c64 kicks ass
[06:29] <dr_willis> taskbar Preview, and zoom. thats about all the compiz i use
[06:29] <wishie> ive got a C64 and a C128D
[06:29] <dr_willis> The Vice Emulator is very well done. :)
[06:29] <f|uke> well, generally my friends arnt impressed with, "I can ssh to my server using RSA and use VNC or SSHFS to access my shit"
[06:30] <f|uke> because generally they dont understand it. stupid pot smoking hippies.
[06:30] <xiaopi_> yeah but actually that kinda cool =D
[06:30] <f|uke> So i have to impress them with the spinning cube :(
[06:31] <xiaopi_> vnc over putty ssh tunnel on win kinda sux
[06:32] <dr_willis> Untill you need it to fix grandmas pc thats 100 miles away
[06:32] <dr_willis> :)
[06:33] <wishie> oh nuts! Assembly 2007 winning demo.. niiiiiiiiice
[06:33] <xiaopi_> grandmas pc just need regular remotedesktop :)
[06:33] <wishie> 'LifeForce'
[06:33] <carloslicea> hello everyone, I have two issues in my machine: 1)My intel wireless card disconnects after some time (could be a few minutes or some hours, usually ~6 hour or something), after that i have to reboot my machine if i want to connect again, 2)load some flash (specially youtube videos) in konqueror is a just a bet, 20% of the time will work the other times the plugin is loaded (nspluginviwer) but doesn't display anything
[06:34] <carloslicea> are there any known solutions for those problems? (for the flash one i already trying reinstalling, no luck)
[06:34] <xiaopi_> which version of KDE?\
[06:34] <carloslicea> 4.2.1
[06:34] <xiaopi_> dunno then :)
[06:34] <carloslicea> lol
[06:35] <lemonade> i'm having that nspluginwrapper-problem too on ubuntu
[06:35] <wgrant> Erm, KDE 4.2 isn't even in Intrepid.
[06:35] <carloslicea> err
[06:35] <carloslicea> my bad
[06:35] <carloslicea> sorry
[06:35] <carloslicea> 4.1.2
[06:35] <xiaopi_> kde4 still need some polish too ~
[06:36] <carloslicea> that's why i keep firefox (and all its dependencies :/ ) around u_u
[06:36] <carloslicea> but the one that is actually driving me nuts is the wireless one, it's just horrible
[06:37] <carloslicea> i searched launchpad, there are some similar bugs but doesn't seem to be a fix
[06:38] <xiaopi_> exept reporting, if you're not fixing them there's nothing more to do
[06:39] <wishie> well, time to try the intrepid rc on my mates laptop :P
[06:40] <Daisuke_Ido> alright then.  gnome-session taking up 100% of a processor core?  anyone familiar with that?
[06:42] <stahlstift> Good Morning! Can someone give me an hint which server forgets the dirlock for 8.10 ? :)
[06:43]  * dr_willis is not clear on the  question.
[06:45] <stahlstift> dr_willis: well the sync of 8.10 final should already started and there are some servers
[06:45] <stahlstift> where you can already download :)
[06:46] <Daisuke_Ido> are you *that* impatient that you can't wait?
[06:46] <stahlstift> exactly :)
[06:46] <dr_willis> I normally update/upgrade a day or 2 befor release.. then wait a week or 2 - till it all settles down.
[06:46] <Daisuke_Ido> if you've been running it already, you're already pretty much there.
[06:47] <stahlstift> Daisuke_Ido: i didn´t installed the rc
[06:47] <Daisuke_Ido> then whose fault is that?
[06:48] <Daisuke_Ido> i'm still trying to figure out this gnome-session problem
[06:48] <stahlstift> Daisuke_Ido: i try to get it as early as possible, install it, update it and then i do the same as dr_willis. I wait 2 weeks before i update again :)
[06:48] <Daisuke_Ido> yeah, i just updated (installed the beta a couple weeks ago), probably won't until the second week of november or so
[06:50] <dr_willis> Calculating upgrade... Done
[06:50] <dr_willis> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[06:50] <Daisuke_Ido> i had something like 4 packages to update
[06:50] <Daisuke_Ido> (hadn't in a couple days)
[06:50] <Daisuke_Ido> but kaudiocreator is still missing >:|
[06:53] <MrHumsup> Hi guys. Just upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid. I'm having this issue of not being able to use my Up, Down, Left and Right arrows in any of my apps. E.g. Prior to the dist-upgrade, depressing either the Up or Down arrow keys in Epiphany browser would have allowed me to scroll up or down a webpage, but not now. An pressing the the Up arrow key, does not bring up the last command I typed in GNOME terminal like it used to before the upgra
[06:54] <dr_willis> I would start by disabling compiz and see if it works  then, try making a new user also...
[06:54] <dr_willis> and also try installing some minimal window manager, see if it works in that. (like icewm)
[06:54] <dr_willis> Some else had issues the other day with compiz stealing specific keypresses
[06:58] <MrHumsup> dr_willis: hmm. Yeah. Had this other issue with screenshot. But it went away after I disabled the screenshot plugin in Compiz. But I have no idea how to resolve the others. Anyone any ideas? Please?
[07:09] <skwashd> i should mention i am running amd64 - C2D T9300 with 4G RAM
[07:12] <skwashd> should i just paste the contents of http://pastebin.ca/1239374 into a bug report on LP and wait for it be closed when intrepid+1 gets a new kernel and i won't test it on a pre alpha build?
[07:14] <dulak> I was gonna talk shit about your attitude, but I'm not drunk enough to hit enter.
[07:15] <dulak> skwashd: you know like 98% of the people who work on the OS you are running get no money right?
[07:15] <skwashd> dulak: it is the normal process with serious regressions introduced in the last couple of weeks a ubuntu releases for the last while
[07:16] <Hobbsee> serious regressions?  When did that appear?
[07:16] <dulak> skwashd: yeah but you could have a better attitude in your snide little comments in the support channel
[07:16] <rski> the new graphics for the partitioner/installer looks like it couldn't come from a sea of brown, good job. :)
[07:16] <skwashd> Hobbsee: liferea is almost useless in the last week or so ... evolution crashes about 3 times day on a good day ... and now a kernel bug is filling my disk
[07:17] <skwashd> Hobbsee: and both hardy and gutsy went down hill in the last 2 or 3 weeks before release
[07:17] <Hobbsee> skwashd: and users suck.  Now you could be helpful, and avoid generalisations
[07:17] <rski> have you posted to lkml ?
[07:17] <skwashd> dulak: was just confirming the process was going to be the same this time around
[07:18] <dulak> skwashd: no, you were doing a classic passive-aggressive job of bitching about somethign
[07:18] <Hobbsee> skwashd: what version of evolution do you have installed?
[07:18] <skwashd> Hobbsee: i agree
[07:18] <dulak> skwashd: I do not tolerate bullshit, at least be honest about your motives.
[07:18] <skwashd> Hobbsee: 2.24.1-0ubuntu2
[07:19] <skwashd> dulak: get my machine working properly
[07:19] <Hobbsee> skwashd: darn.   It works fine for me.
[07:20] <dulak> skwashd: personally I hope yer penis falls off, but I'm a dick.
[07:20] <wgrant> dulak: Cease that, please.
[07:21] <Daisuke_Ido> sorry.  i should probably check to see if there's a bug report for missing kaudiocreator or the gnome-session issue i'm having (which i can't seem to nail down)
[07:21] <skwashd> wgrant: regularly fails to update feed and the unread count contantly keeps on saying there is unread posts when there are none
[07:21] <Hobbsee> Daisuke_Ido: is there a kde4 port of kaudiocreator?
[07:21] <Daisuke_Ido> there is not, to my knowledge, however, it's supposedly part of kdemultimedia
[07:22] <Hobbsee> Daisuke_Ido: hmm, might be worth checking that.  The old kde3 versions aren't available anymore
[07:24] <skwashd> looks like it is off to LP to file a bug which will be ignored
[07:25] <Daisuke_Ido> skwashd: if you're THAT upset that you're going to get whiny, use something else.
[07:25] <Hobbsee> not many new evolution bugs, there either.
[07:27] <Hobbsee> Daisuke_Ido: besides, most of the devs are smart, and avoid this channel - or only spend very small amounts of time for it.
[07:27] <Hobbsee> er, in it
[07:28] <Daisuke_Ido> probably a wise move
[07:28] <skwashd> Daisuke_Ido: every kernel bug i have file / subscribed to had not been fixed - closed upgrade to latest+greatest or just ignored
[07:28] <Hobbsee> skwashd: well, have you seen how big the kernel commits actually are?
[07:28] <Hobbsee> a whole bunch of bugs get fixed each time a new kernel gets released.
[07:28] <wgrant> There are an awful lot of kernel bugs, and not too many kernel developers in Ubuntu.
[07:28] <skwashd> Hobbsee: i can switch to tbird if i have to ... a kernel which is chewing over a gig of disk per hour is a bit much
[07:29] <Hobbsee> especially if they can't reproduce it themselves, it's kinda hard to tell if the new things will fix it.
[07:29] <wgrant> You should feel free to help out squashing bugs.
[07:29] <wgrant> Evolution bugs should be fairly well taken care of, IIRC.
[07:29] <Daisuke_Ido> Hobbsee: filed a question on kaudiocreator, checking for anything on this gnome-session thing
[07:29] <skwashd> Hobbsee: most of the kernel bugs aren't in other distros ... they are i nthe ubuntu patchset
[07:29] <Hobbsee> skwashd: then find out which it is, build it without, and then file a bug based on that.
[07:30] <Hobbsee> Daisuke_Ido: what's the gnome-sesion thing?
[07:30] <skwashd> Hobbsee: this one is new .. and so i haven't spent hours finding the real cause of it
[07:30] <Hobbsee> skwashd: no, you just came on to rant.  very wise.
[07:30] <Daisuke_Ido> Hobbsee: i don't know what's triggering it (just see it when i get home from campus) but gnome-session is eating an entire core
[07:30] <skwashd> which is why i stupidly came in here trying to see if others had experienced it
[07:30] <Hobbsee> if you can't be bothered to spend the time, why do you think anyone else would be?
[07:31] <Daisuke_Ido> not using much ram (2mb) but riding the CPU like mad
[07:31] <skwashd> and the reason i ubuntu (and debian) is so i don't have to fsck around compiling stuff
[07:31]  * Hobbsee eyes gnome-session bugs
[07:31] <skwashd> if i wanted to do that i would run gentoo or LFS
[07:31] <wgrant> skwashd: I fail to see where people said that you should compile your entire system yourself.
[07:31]  * Hobbsee notes you can probably get a support contract if you preferred, so others would debug for you.
[07:32] <skwashd> wgrant: <Hobbsee> skwashd: then find out which it is, build it without, and then file a bug based on that.
[07:32] <Hobbsee> skwashd: system != kernel.
[07:32] <skwashd> Hobbsee: sure ... but why stop at compiling the kernel ... building everything from scratch is so much fun
[07:33] <wgrant> If you want to, go ahead.
[07:33] <Hobbsee> skwashd: because you don't have bugs in most of the other stuff.  *eyeroll*
[07:33] <wgrant> But nobody here suggested it, so stop implying it.
[07:33] <Daisuke_Ido> skwashd: you're getting annoying.  you obviously have anger issues, go punch a wall or something.
[07:33] <Hobbsee> now, be constructive, or leave.
[07:33] <Daisuke_Ido> Hobbsee: an unfortunate side-effect of the gnome-session thing is that no new apps can be launched
[07:34] <Hobbsee> Daisuke_Ido: hmm, not spotting anything on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/122949 - does it happen if you kill and restart gnome-session?  (note, that will log you out)
[07:34] <wgrant> Daisuke_Ido: Have you straced it?
[07:34] <Hobbsee> er, almost that
[07:34] <Daisuke_Ido> it doesn't happen until the pc's been on for some time
[07:34] <Hobbsee> very odd.
[07:34] <Daisuke_Ido> that's what i thought
[07:34] <wgrant> Daisuke_Ido: Attach strace to it when it happens.
[07:34] <Oric> is ther any suitable drivers for ati now?
[07:35] <wartalker> i upgrade to 8.10, the sound driver seem ok, but it has no sound, my card is  "Intel Corporation 82801H", why
[07:35] <Daisuke_Ido> wgrant: ?
[07:35] <wgrant> Oric: As suitable as they ever have been.
[07:35] <wgrant> Daisuke_Ido: strace -p <whatever the PID of gnome-session is>
[07:35] <Daisuke_Ido> i'm not exactly familiar with hunting down bugs :)
[07:35] <Oric> i will upgrade to 8.1 tomorrow
[07:36] <Oric> happy and doubt
[07:36] <pen> Oric: it's 8.10
[07:36] <Oric> yeah 8.10 8.10
[07:36] <Oric> ^^
[07:36] <pen> Oric btw, kill your ghost or it's very annoying
[07:37] <Oric> ok
[07:37] <Oric> i'm newer here.sorry
[07:37] <skwashd> Daisuke_Ido: lmao
[07:37] <Oric> pen,what command i should put?
[07:37] <Daisuke_Ido> i'm still praying for amarok 2 to not suck by jaunty
[07:38] <Hobbsee> !ghost | Oric
[07:38] <wgrant> Hobbsee: That'll only work if you've registered the one with the tail.
[07:38] <wgrant> And most people don't.
[07:38] <Hobbsee> ah yes, it's not registered.
[07:39] <Oric> it said i can't ghost my self
[07:39] <pen> do /msg nickserv ghost Oric_
[07:39] <pen> you don't ghost the current nick
[07:40] <Oric> so what you mean by killing my ghost?
[07:41] <pen> you have Oric_ and Oric
[07:41] <OpenYouMouth> yeah
[07:41] <pen> one of them is your ghost I guess
[07:41] <Oric> yeah.i register nick Oric
[07:42] <pen> but there is Oric_
[07:42] <pen> kill it
[07:42] <Oric> let me see
[07:46] <skwashd> so Hobbsee is there a wiki page on tracking down kernel bugs?
[07:52] <xiaopi> I really need a fresh install ... it's good to have this 6month cycle =D
[07:53] <pen> I notice that my network manager will cause kernel panic if I connect to certain network
[07:59] <Guest68126> has anyone been able to get the ath5k driver to work? it loads fine but no networks are shown
[07:59] <Oric> open,i think oric_ is ghosted~~
[08:04] <pen> ??
[08:04] <tapas> i have restricted-modules-rt installed, but x starts to fail with "nvidia module not found"
[08:04] <pen> you still have Oric__
[08:06] <tapas> ok, moving xorg.conf leftover from hardy out of the way at least the failsave x seems to start
[08:07] <tapas> alas, only with a resolution of 1280x1024
[08:07] <tapas> hmmm
[08:10] <Hobbsee> skwashd: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures#Kernel and related links look pretty reasonable
[08:18] <fbe>  HI does anyone get the apitest for bluez-4.12 running?  I untared the original bluez-4.12 tarball from bluez.org and start ./apitest GetMode
[08:18] <fbe>              within the test dir. All I get is this Failed to get default device: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "DefaultAdapter" with
[08:18] <fbe>              signature "" on interface "org.bluez.Manager" doesn't exist
[08:19] <Glitch> what will this channel become tomorrow ?!!?!!??
[08:19] <CROSSWINDS> hey guys, if i install, ubuntu first, and want kubuntu, and since intrepid is offically 4.1.2,whats the commandto install the full complete kde4.1.2 desktop?
[08:19] <tc111> i'm trying to do a 'sudo do-release-upgrade --devel-release' but keep receiving "No new release found". i'm running a local repo of hardy and intrepid... am i missing something that i should be mirroring so that the machine sees that there is a devel release available?
[08:19] <rww> Glitch: the channel for discussion of Jaunty, I'd assume :)
[08:20] <CROSSWINDS> anyone?
[08:20] <Tyrath> so intrepid has no specific realise deadline?
[08:20] <rww> CROSSWINDS: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop or sudo aptitude install kde, depending on exactly what you want.
[08:20] <CROSSWINDS> idlike the full kde desktop
[08:21] <CROSSWINDS> cause they are both good
[08:21] <CROSSWINDS> dont mind having them both
[08:21] <rww> Tyrath: sure it does. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule
[08:21] <Tyrath> rww: i'm in console mode, how do I copy that link to the GUI
[08:22] <rww> CROSSWINDS: kubuntu-desktop will install all the packages that come with kubuntu. kde will install the full kde desktop. I believe kubuntu-desktop contains everything in kde, plus the kubuntu branding, but i don't use KDE, so i could be wrong
[08:22] <Tyrath> rww: or is there a way to surf in console mode that involves seeing source code instead of GUI
[08:22] <wgrant> Glitch, rww: This channel is normally closed until around the first alpha.
[08:22] <rww> Tyrath: don't bother, I'll just tell you. Intrepid's scheduled for release, and has been thus scheduled for a while, on October 30th.
[08:22] <CROSSWINDS> i dont know which one id wantif I could only have one
[08:22] <rww> wgrant: thanks for the correction
[08:22] <CROSSWINDS> kde or gnome
[08:23] <rww> CROSSWINDS: you can switch between them at the login screen if you install both :)
[08:23] <CROSSWINDS> both are damn good and you can install apps fromeither one into the other
[08:23] <Tyrath> rww: k thanks
[08:23]  * Tyrath thought intrepid was coming out tomorrow
[08:23] <wgrant> Tyrath: It is.
[08:23] <CROSSWINDS> it is..
[08:23] <Tyrath> it's already the 30th?
[08:23] <CROSSWINDS> 30th of oct
[08:23] <CROSSWINDS> not yet
[08:23] <Tyrath> god how time flies
[08:24] <CROSSWINDS> but if you do a dist-upgrade now..
[08:24] <CROSSWINDS> you can get 8.10 final
[08:24] <CROSSWINDS> but no iso's are available yet
[08:24] <CROSSWINDS> i didit,and fubard my system
[08:24] <Tyrath> really? so what's the point in waiting
[08:24] <wgrant> CROSSWINDS: It might not be final.
[08:24] <CROSSWINDS> but that was my fault, i had reposfrom all over
[08:24] <CROSSWINDS> lol
[08:24] <wgrant> We have had very late changes before.
[08:24] <Tyrath> oh
[08:24] <CROSSWINDS> it doesnt say "beta" or "rc" anymore
[08:24] <CROSSWINDS> just says 8.10
[08:24] <xiaopi> CROSSWINDS, just get kubuntu then
[08:25] <wgrant> CROSSWINDS: That's so we can release if we don't find any more critical bugs.
[08:25] <xiaopi> i know everytime i used both i got some conflict in the end
[08:25] <Tyrath> wgrant, will patches be realeased on the site with late changes if I happen to install now?
[08:25] <wgrant> Rather than uploading at the last second before release to change it to 8.10, and potentially breaking everyone's system.
[08:25] <wgrant> Tyrath: They will come through as normal updates.
[08:25] <xiaopi> now i tend to stick to one or the other
[08:26] <Tyrath> wgrant: cool. so if I upgrade now there won't be any issues
[08:26] <wgrant> Tyrath: There might be, but very probably not.
[08:26] <xiaopi> gnome with only kde libs for the few kde app you need and there you go =D
[08:26] <Tyrath> wgrant: will intrepid provide away to copy and paste from console to console?
[08:26] <Hobbsee> console as in virtualterminal?
[08:27] <Tyrath> console as in console mode console
[08:27] <pen> how do I colorize my ttys?
[08:27] <Tyrath> as in big terminal
[08:27] <pen> or
[08:27] <pen> boot up text
[08:27] <pen> in virtual console
[08:27] <wgrant> Tyrath: How would that work?
[08:27] <Tyrath> wgrant: why wouldn't it?
[08:28] <Hobbsee> well, it catches it in .bash_history after you log out of the first console, for a start.
[08:28] <wgrant> Because that's not what VTs are for.
[08:28] <Tyrath> wgrant: what are they for then, other than installing, removing, directory management and console apps?
[08:29] <wgrant> Tyrath: Erm, are you talking about real VTs, or xterm-like things?
[08:29] <Tyrath> wgrant: consoles as in Ctrl + Alt + x consoles
[08:29] <Hobbsee> wgrant: real VTs, when you want a big screen, apparently.
[08:29] <Tyrath> where x indicates a number
[08:30] <wgrant> Tyrath: Why would you use those for installing, removing, directory management or console apps?
[08:30] <Hobbsee> not quite sure why you wouldn't just run them in xterm, unless your X has broken, but who knows...
[08:30] <Tyrath> wgrant: because they seem to be quicker. perhaps through lack of a GUI?
[08:31] <Tyrath> for example, IRC is quite fast in consoles
[08:31] <wgrant> Sigh.
[08:31] <xiaopi> btw is brand new install shipped with openoffice 3 already?
[08:31] <wgrant> xiaopi: No. Intrepid will not have OOo 3.
[08:31] <Tyrath> wgrant: fewer resources being expended
[08:31] <xiaopi> or not included yet
[08:32] <wgrant> Tyrath: Fewer resources being expended on things such as copy and paste.
[08:32] <Tyrath> if I open up a terminal, it's just another proccess running
[08:32] <wgrant> xiaopi: Not included ever.
[08:32] <wgrant> Tyrath: OH NO! A PROCESS! RUN!!!!
[08:32]  * rww sighs
[08:32] <Tyrath> wgrant: i know what you mean. but with installs I Copying and Pasting isn't very applicable
[08:32] <wgrant> Pardon?
[08:32] <Tyrath> wgrant: it's a bit slower
[08:33] <wgrant> It's a terminal. How can it be slower?
[08:33] <wgrant> What gives you the idea that it is significantly slower?
[08:33] <Tyrath> Tyrath: I can use tab to complete by directory paths
[08:33] <Roger_Klotz> Hi guys, I was wondering if theres a way for me to roll back to my hardy heron setup if i just upgraded to 8.10rc
[08:33] <Tyrath> wgrant: i didn't say significantly. I just find it's faster for things like IRC than a terminal
[08:34] <wgrant> Roger_Klotz: Not without reinstalling.
[08:34] <gnomefreak> Roger_Klotz: only supported way is to re-install
[08:34] <wgrant> I wish they'd implement window management on my TTYs.
[08:34] <Tyrath> wgrant: what would you use a console for?
[08:34] <rww> Roger_Klotz: basically, no. Rolling back packages almost always causes major headaches.
[08:34] <wgrant> Tyrath: Recovering my system if X is broken.
[08:34] <Hobbsee> wgrant: more than screen?
[08:34] <gnomefreak> wgrant: you  mean like using a mouse in TTY?
[08:34] <Tyrath> wgrant: otherwise you use terminals?
[08:35] <wgrant> Hobbsee: Yes. It should have nice window borders and overlappable windows and everything.
[08:35] <wgrant> Oh wait, that's X./
[08:35] <rww> wgrant: I see what you did there :)
[08:35] <MrHumsup> Hi guys having some issues with my dist-upgrade. See http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/keyboard-shortcuts-not-working-after-dist-upgrade-to-intrepid-679710/ Does anyone knows what is wrong and how I can resolve the problems?
[08:35] <wgrant> Tyrath: Otherwise I do what everybody else does and use gnome-terminal.
[08:35] <xiaopi> why ever?
[08:35] <xiaopi> gonna ship with next one then
[08:36] <wgrant> xiaopi: Because we don't upgrade the most abominable monstrosity to a new major version post-release.
[08:36] <wgrant> You'll see it in Jaunty.
[08:36] <Tyrath> wgrant: besides it sort of forces me to work without an interface. I really need to know how to use UNIX commands better - considering it's sort after for jobs, etc.
[08:36] <wgrant> One can't work without an interface.
[08:36]  * Hobbsee notes that probably classifies as "not a normal use case"
[08:36] <wgrant> Perhaps without a graphical user interface.
[08:37] <wgrant> But a computer without an interface is not particularly useful.
[08:37] <wgrant> Hobbsee: I agree more than ein hundert prozent.
[08:37] <Tyrath> wgrant: I wasn't implying that level of technicality
[08:37] <Tyrath> wgrant: when I said interface I meant GUI
[08:39] <xiaopi> We’ve learned that sometimes it is better to wait and deliver a well-tested product rather than trying to cram everything in at the last minute. With a six-month release cycle, it is never all that long for users to wait until the next one along; we fully expect 3.0 to be part of Ubuntu 9.04.
[08:39] <xiaopi> yeah gonna wait 6months or just get launchpad rep in the meantime
[08:41] <Hobbsee> there's a ppa with it in it, if you're desperate.
[08:41] <Hobbsee> might make it into -backports eventually, too
[08:41] <wgrant> Hobbsee: Er, but we have 24 hours until release. I hate Ubuntu developers - they never take this opportunity to put a new version of OOo in.
[08:42] <Hobbsee> wgrant: :P
[08:42] <Hobbsee> wgrant: yeah, gasp.  Go test some cds!
[08:42]  * Hobbsee cracks whip
[08:42] <RAOF_> wgrant: Is 24 hours actually long enough to build OOo? :)
[08:42] <wgrant> Hobbsee: I've tested desktop i386 on a few machines today, but not actually installed.
[08:42] <Hobbsee> oh, and update the topic saying we're asking for cd testers, too
[08:42] <wgrant> RAOF_: On some archs, particularly if we get palmer.
[08:44] <wgrant> RAOF_: But we should clearly delay release a day to put OOo3 in .
[08:44]  * Hobbsee throws a crack monkey at wgrant
[08:44] <wgrant> I'm sure slangasek would enjoy it.
[08:45] <pen> what does "quiet" in defoption=quiet splash mean?
[08:45] <wgrant> I really need to look at how OOo manages to be so bad at some point.
[08:45] <rww> pen: it suppresses a lot of messages that appear during bootup
[08:46] <pen> if I want the text but not the splash, should I also take up the quiet?
[08:46] <pen> rww: by how much?
[08:46] <rww> pen: yeah, probably. if you subsequently decide you're getting too much text, put it back in
[08:46] <pen> rww: I see
[08:47] <pen> rww: thx
[08:47] <rww> pen: you're welcome :)
[08:47] <pen> rww: btw, if I want to change the boot screen res, is adding vga to defoption enough?
[08:48] <cypherdelic> pah try startup manager
[08:48] <cypherdelic> pen
[08:48] <pen> rww: should I also add that to the kernel line?
[08:48] <pen> cypherdelic: well, I don't know if it still works in intrepid
[08:48] <luks> hi, I've upgraded to intrepid and arrow keys stopped working for me in apps like dosbox or vmware player. any idea what's wrong with that?
[08:48] <rww> pen: you'll need to do vga=somenumber, where the number depends on the specific mode you want (google vga=), and yes, it goes in the same place as splash and quiet were
[08:49] <cypherdelic> pen: for my it does, i can adust resolution, waiting time, theme etc
[08:49] <Jordan_U> Mplayer standalone plays video fine but with the mplayer firefox plugin I am just getting black ( audio is fine )
[08:49] <pen> cypherdelic: I know, I used that in hardy
[08:49] <rww> cypherdelic: thanks for the hint. i didn't know about startupmanager
[08:50] <cypherdelic> np its for the GUI fans
[08:50] <cypherdelic> :D
[08:50] <pen> cypherdelic: well, what happened if you have kernel upgrade?
[08:50] <pen> cypherdelic: it always get me headache when they want to update the menu.lst too
[08:50] <rww> pen: assuming you follow the instructions in menu.lst, the options you pick will persist through kernel upgrades
[08:51] <cypherdelic> i upgrade every kernel as soon as possible, on soime updates nothing happened (thats good)but once my Root FS wasnt found
[08:51] <pen> rww: for example? I thought they change everything
[08:52] <pen> cypherdelic: btw, I can't set widescreen res in startupmanager
[08:53] <cypherdelic> yes thats right, i guess it wobnt work at all
[08:53] <MrHumsup> luks: If you are running into the problems as described here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/keyboard-shortcuts-not-working-after-dist-upgrade-to-intrepid-679710/ then it looks like you are having the same problems as I am. Fwiw, still waiting for a solution. ;-)
[08:53] <cypherdelic> my TFT does autoscaling
[08:53] <pen> cypherdelic: I don't want autoscaling
[08:54] <cypherdelic> i guess bootsplashes is not available in widescreen
[08:54] <rww> pen: if you haven't heavily modified your menu.lst, there should be a bunch of comments to the effect of "edit these sections and add all your options in here, then the uncommented lines between "End Default Options" and "END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST" will get updated automatically by update-grub"
[08:54] <cypherdelic> are
[08:54] <pen> rww: what's the difference between ## and #?
[08:54] <rww> pen: none, it's decorative. Lines starting with any number of # are comments.
[08:54] <gnomefreak> pen: you mean for channels?
[08:55] <pen> cypherdelic: you are wrong, there is widerscreen res
[08:55] <gnomefreak> oh
[08:55] <cypherdelic> pen: depends on the interpreter usually both ar comments, but i may be wrong
[08:55] <pen> rww: I see, I thought # means something
[08:55] <cypherdelic> pen: how to setup a widescreen bootsplash then, have you got an advice for vga=?
[08:55] <rww> pen: # means the rest of the line is a comment. the commented lines are used by update-grub to decide what to put in the uncommented lines
[08:55] <gnomefreak> pen: its a comment and cypherdelic in bash you should be able to use either IIRC
[08:56] <cypherdelic> i havent found widescreen in that table of codes
[08:56] <DanaG> In menu.lst, the ## is comment, and # is automagic thingy.
[08:56] <rww> cypherdelic: when setting vga=, I usually just put in a random number. I get a message on boot with the option to show all available modes, which is more comprehensive than the tables I see online.
[08:56] <DanaG> vga=ask
[08:56] <rww> DanaG: didn't know about that. I guess ask does the same as my way :)
[08:56] <pen> rww: then if I change # defoption  does it really work?
[08:57] <cypherdelic> ok i did that before, but there is no widescreen resolution listed for me
[08:57] <rww> pen: yes, because update-grub sees the change when it's run, and applies it to the uncommented lines
[08:57] <pen> cypherdelic: you have to use hwinfo
[08:57] <cypherdelic> for what?
[08:58] <pen> sudo hwinfo --freambuffer | grep 'Mode'
[08:58] <pen> it will list out all the mode your screen support
[08:58] <pen> then you don't have to set it to ? and write it down during boot
[08:58] <DanaG> framebuffer -- check the spelling
[08:58] <pen> DanaG: :P
[08:58] <DanaG> My VESA BIOS does not have widescreen modes.
[08:58] <cypherdelic> my screen is widescreen, currently im in widescreen 1680x1050 i dont need to prrof that via hwinfo ;)
[08:59] <pen> cypherdelic: it gives you the # after vga
[08:59] <pen> # = number
[08:59] <cypherdelic> hm wait
[08:59] <DanaG> The thing is, the VESA bios does not use the Xorg video driver.
[08:59] <pen> rww: I see
[08:59] <pen> cool
[08:59] <DanaG> So that's the issue with console resolution.
[08:59] <pen> hm
[09:00] <DanaG> It has to use vesafb... which does not get all resolutions; instead, it just gets those that the VESA BIOS exposes.
[09:00] <rww> I love discussions like this... just learned about hwinfo too :D
[09:01] <cypherdelic> lol i did it, most widescreen resolutions are missing
[09:01] <cypherdelic> oops i mean ALL
[09:02] <pen> rww: it's a very useful tool
[09:02] <DanaG> Hmm, I hope the 64-bit kernel with have efifb: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.23-rc3/2.6.23-rc3-mm1/broken-out/x86_64-efi-boot-support-efi-frame-buffer-driver.patch
[09:03] <DanaG> Then I'll be able to have native-res consoles when I get the new laptop I plan to get, with UEFI.
[09:03]  * DanaG goes off to bed.
[09:04] <pen> cypherdelic: what did you do?
[09:05] <cypherdelic> cypher@HaeckFlaisch:~$ sudo hwinfo --framebuffer | grep 'Mode'
[09:05] <cypherdelic> no widescreens
[09:05] <pen> hm
[09:05] <pen> weird
[09:05] <pen> are you sure?
[09:06] <cypherdelic> yes want a pastebin?
[09:06] <pen> check all the res that looks like widescreen
[09:06] <pen> ok
[09:06] <xiaopi>  is pusleaudio suppose to work completly ? (cause on my laptop no way to get it to work properly)
[09:06] <cypherdelic> http://paste.ubuntu.com/63999/
[09:07] <rww> Yeah, my LCD's native res is 1680x1050, and I only see up to 1400x1050
[09:08] <mnemoc> rww: what xrand shows?
[09:08] <cypherdelic> i have no probling that my monitor scales up 1024x768 to 1680x1050, loooks very ok
[09:08] <pen> is it a bug too?
[09:08] <mnemoc> xrandr*
[09:08] <cypherdelic> rww: exactly the same here. Samsung 22" 1680x1050 on Nvidia 7150
[09:08] <rww> mnemoc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/64002/
[09:09] <rww> mnemoc: I'm not too bothered, though, 'cause X.org is set up with 1680x1050 just fine, and 1400x isn't far off for console.
[09:09] <pen> probably 1400x1050 is the max?
[09:09] <pen> or
[09:09] <pen> I don't know
[09:09] <cypherdelic> i use my 22" as tv, god im glad when console is 640x480 so i can read anything :))))))
[09:10] <pen> cypherdelic: then you should stick with it :)
[09:10] <cypherdelic> its not fully HD but nearly
[09:12] <Alcapond> Hi - after upgrading to 8.10, Kontact lost all of its content, bacause of shift from .kde4 to .kde - now this dont bother me much - except: I need my tasks back - which folder do I have to copy to get them back?
[09:12] <cypherdelic> im sry i have no idea about kotz desktop environment
[09:12] <pen> brb, reboot and see my spice up bootloader :D
[09:14] <Jordan_U> xiaopi: What doesn't work for you with pulseaudio?
[09:16] <GibbaTheHutt> skype seems to have issues with it :)
[09:16] <loafers> I've been having trouble getting several computers to boot to Ubuntu 8.10 on my HDD via USB cable.  I set the boot sequence to USB always so I am confused why it works for actual USB flash drives and not for HDD connected through a USB cord.
[09:16] <loafers> Not only 8.10 but previous versions as well.
[09:17] <rww> loafers: if i remember correctly, it's a limitation of some BIOSs, because HDD connected through a USB cord use a different interface from actual USB flash drives. I don't know too much about it, though.
[09:18] <loafers> Ok that's a relief, I thought i did something wrong
[09:18] <pen> well
[09:18] <pen> the res is correct
[09:19] <pen> but the bootloader does not have any color at all
[09:19] <pen> this is not right
[09:19] <pen> why?
[09:20] <rww> pen: did you decide to use that GUI tool that someone posted, or are you editing menu.lst by hand?
[09:20] <pen> rww: by hand
[09:20] <pen> rww: I did the color format right
[09:20] <pen> rww: it worked before in hardy
[09:21] <rww> pen: Copypaste the line that starts #color?
[09:21] <rww> pen: so I can double-check it's right for you :)
[09:21] <pen> I uncomment it
[09:21] <pen> heh
[09:21] <pen> it's a very cool color combination I found on the internet
[09:22] <pen> color dark-grey/black white/red
[09:22] <pen> try it
[09:22] <pen> but I don't know why it is not working this time
[09:23] <rww> try dark-gray, maybe? the grub manual uses gray with an a, rather than grey with an e.
[09:23] <rww> although it might accept either
[09:23] <pen> ah
[09:23] <pen> aha
[09:23] <pen> I see
[09:24] <pen> thx
[09:24] <pen> well
[09:24] <rww> y/w
[09:24] <pen> you like it?
[09:25] <pen> y? yellow?
[09:25] <rww> haven't tried; my computer makes lots of noises when I restart and my roommate's asleep.  It'd take just as much noise to move it :P
[09:26] <pen> rww: then get a laptop then
[09:27] <pen> anyway
[09:27] <pen> I want to change the res for grub menu
[09:27] <pen> is it possible?
[09:28] <rww> pen: nope
[09:28] <pen> D:
[09:30] <rww> Grub inherits its resolution from your BIOS, which is standardized at 640x480 (VGA)... so unless your BIOS has a config option for resolution (which it almost definitely doesn't; i've never heard of such a thing, anyway), you're stuck
[09:30] <pen> rww: I hope someday someone would hack grub and add that option :)
[09:31] <wgrant> Why do you see a GRUB menu?
[09:32] <pen> wgrant: why do you ask this question?
[09:33] <wgrant> pen: Because I'm wondering why the GRUB menu's resolution matters given that you shouldn't be seeing it.
[09:33] <pen> wgrant: I just want uniformity
[09:34] <pen> wgrant: since I changed the res for boot prompt
[09:37] <grimsqueaker13> ok i know this is a long shot, but has anyone experienced sqlalchemy rowproxy keys being double quoted after upgrading to ibex?
[09:37] <ZeuGiRDoR> when I double click a mp3 file in Nautilus, Audacious replay the last played file. I must click it again when Audacious is opened in order to start playing my desired file. I'm using Intrepid Ibex RC. I've looked for a bug report in Launchpad without any result...
[09:40] <ViennaL> I'm having a real bad problem on a linux box of one of my clients... i installed ubuntu 8.10 which comes with kde 4.1 i guess. After logging in the screen flickers every 3 seonds on/off. but kdm login works great and everything else to ... but u can hardly work because screen goes on and off (LCD)
[09:41] <ViennaL> any ideas what can cause screen flickering only in kde logged in
[09:43] <wartalker> my sound card has no sound in 8.10, help
[09:44] <ZeuGiRDoR> ViennaL, maybe desktop effects
[09:44] <ViennaL> ZeuGiRDoR: how can i disable them?
[09:45] <ViennaL> ZeuGiRDoR: everything is default and i think its an onboard old grafikscard
[09:45] <ViennaL> graphicscard
[09:45] <ZeuGiRDoR> I don't know in KDE 4
[09:45] <ViennaL> ZeuGiRDoR: oldf SiS vga adapter
[09:45] <ViennaL> olf
[09:45] <ViennaL> old .. .damn keyboard
[09:46] <rww> ViennaL: http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KWin/4.0-release-notes#Troubleshooting
[09:46] <ViennaL> rww: thanks
[09:47] <ZeuGiRDoR> well, try disabling the KDE 4 composite effects
[09:48] <rww> ZeuGiRDoR: The link I posted details how to do that outside of KDE.
[09:48] <ZeuGiRDoR> rww, I see ;)
[09:48] <ViennaL> rww: jeah thank you both ... i will give it a try ...
[09:49] <VSpike> Will 8.10 have OOo 3?
[09:49] <rww> VSpike: nope
[09:50] <VSpike> ah OK - was just suprised not to see it when I fired up OOo ... just checking that was expected :)
[09:51] <rww> VSpike: yeah, 3.0 came out too late to be included in intrepid. It might end up being included in intrepid-backports, and will be in Jaunty.
[09:51] <ViennaL> VSpike: why is 8.10 missing open office 3 at the moment
[09:51] <ViennaL> rww: aha okay
[09:52] <VSpike> Was trying to run xvidcap and getting an error "xtoffmpeg.c add_video_steam(): video codec not found" ... anyone else see this?
[09:52] <VSpike> Probably some package of libavcodec missing but I've not idea what
[10:01] <|Dreams|> has anyone managed to get sound working using the alc889?
[10:01] <|Dreams|> in intrepid x64
[10:04] <|Dreams|> no then
[10:04] <|Dreams|> lool
[10:04] <|Dreams|> has anyone managed to get intel hda version alc889 on a acer aspire laptop to work yet
[10:07] <VSpike> can anyone give me a clue : using fusesmb my networking suddently disappears, and I have a line in the log: gort kernel: [69797.713426] fusesmb[16090]: segfault at 4 ip b7c03590 sp b5514dc0 error 4 in libsmbclient.so.0[b7b88000_386000]
[10:07] <VSpike> What package would this relate to? fusesmb? libsmbclient? kernel?
[10:08] <VSpike> and shouldn't apport pick this up?
[10:09] <schlady> |Dreams|, same problem here
[10:09] <void^> seems to crash in libsmbclient
[10:11] <darius12> hi, anybody else having issues with nm-applet not appearing in the gnome panel?
[10:11] <darius12> it is running (it shows in ps), and the notification area is there
[10:11] <darius12> but the nm-applet icon is nowhere to be found
[10:22] <alanbshepard77> Do I need to install something to be able to access windows shares? I have my windows folder shared correctly but when I try to open the folder like I did with hardy I get an error saying no app exists to open the share. I tried using the connect to server option from my places menu
[10:31] <humbolt> what is SCIM for, this thing annoys the hell out of me and it's usefulness is certainly not transparent to everybody.
[10:32] <humbolt> it just pops up in places where you don't want to have it
[10:32] <bazhang> !info scim
[10:32] <humbolt> and it seems to reset my keyboard layout to english all the time, screwing with the keyboard layout applet
[10:32] <bazhang> humbolt, see above
[10:33] <humbolt> bazhang: great, it states the title. no explanation whatsoever
[10:33] <bazhang> humbolt, I told you once before it is for asian language text input
[10:33] <bazhang> you must have missed it.
[10:34] <humbolt> that is about all you find anywhere. even their website does not tell you what the benefit of that annoying app should possibly be.
[10:34] <humbolt> bazhang: ah, tnx
[10:52] <darius12> I wonder how on earth can an applet not be visible in the panel. Does it not call its display method or something
[10:54] <void^> meh, nm-applet
[10:54] <void^> if i boot up with wired connected it still asks me for the keyring password (to bring up wireless), and if i just hit deny, assuming it will give up on wireless and be happy with eth0, it just hangs indefinitely and doesn't show its icon
[10:55] <darius12> void^: I seem to have this 'hangs indefinitely and doesn't show it's icon' problem too
[11:13] <slestakWM> pptp has had a flurry of activity lately.  with my last beta install (fully patched) it is still broken.  is anyone ele using pptp succesfully?
[11:15] <slestakWM> connecting to win2k server works well for nm 0.6 with gutsy and fails with nm 0.7 on II
[11:16] <predator363> where do i go to see if processor scaling is on and what its being scaled to?
[11:16] <slestakWM> does the alpha-beta-rc release get updated through apt up to the next release level
[11:16] <slestakWM> iirc /proc/cpuinfo
[11:17] <slestakWM> what i mean is by patching with apt, will my be made an rc release, or do you need t reinstall each new iso?
[11:17] <mattva01> having an issue with random freezing in intrepid 64-bit , I heard this has a common problem when you have a large amount of ram (I have 4 gigs). Is there any solution?
[11:19] <slestakWM> was machine stable with hardy or gutsy?
[11:20] <Paddy_EIRE> hey could someone tell me what the "Sabayon User" entry in the fast user switch applet is all about ?
[11:21] <mattva01> no
[11:22] <mattva01> similar issue, but it happens more with intrepid
[11:22] <Paddy_EIRE> takes me back to a slightly modified version of my login screen and asks for a mysterious pasword
[11:22] <Paddy_EIRE> *password
[11:23] <slestakWM> i would try 2 things, maybe memtest a while, and maybe try running on half of your dimms to see if you can localize a bad or poorly seated stick?
[11:23] <TheFuzzball>  Does anyone know why the Kubuntu RC1 liveCD boots into (initramfs) BusyBox?
[11:35] <VSpike> Can anyone help me debug a segfault in fusesmb? I want to get a backtrace to post a bug.
[11:35] <VSpike> I've installed the symbol packages but not having much joy with gsb
[11:35] <VSpike> gdb
[11:35] <definitely> Hello, is swap in Linux something like virtual memory in winblows ?
[11:35] <VSpike> http://pastebin.com/d31b2be6a
[11:36] <Hobbsee> definitely: effectively, yes
[11:36] <definitely> How can i disable that shit then ? :D
[11:36] <VSpike> gdb doesn't seem to attach properly, and if I provoke the segfault, gdb sees nothing
[11:36] <definitely> as i heard, if i have more than 1 GB Ram i dont need it, but i have 4 GB RAM :D
[11:37] <jgoguen> definitely: I have a system with 8GB and it runs much better with swap
[11:37] <definitely> jgoguen: Without swap it should be faster. I disabled virtual memory in my winblows, it runs fast
[11:37] <jgoguen> definitely: Linux != Windows :)
[11:38] <jgoguen> definitely: and I'm surprised, I've never heard of anyone, even with 4GB RAM, having Windows faster without the swap file
[11:38] <darius12> well, 256mb of swap is enough for most desktops
[11:38] <definitely> Vista works  very fast without Virtual memory.
[11:39] <jgoguen> definitely: what version?  I tried Home Premium and I had to re-enable it
[11:39] <definitely> Vista Ultimate.
[11:39] <darius12> more than that you get too much of a speed hit by the mem/disk speed difference
[11:39] <definitely> Virtual memory was seted to zero and it worked very good. :)
[11:39] <VSpike> I'm also getting problems like this http://pastebin.com/m45630ced
[11:40] <darius12> zero can work but it is better to have a little of swap to relieve some memory pressure some times
[11:40] <VSpike> Is the swap space used for hibernation?
[11:40] <jgoguen> definitely: well, you can just not create a swap partition when you install Ubuntu
[11:41] <darius12> VSpike: you can assign a separate swap partition for that
[11:41] <jgoguen> VSpike: yes, but IIRC you need slightly more swap space than you have RAM for it to be usable for hibernation
[11:41] <darius12> and just not enable it normally
[11:41] <definitely> I use hibernation without virtual memory in Vista
[11:41] <definitely> it works fine :)
[11:41] <VSpike> definitely: swap file support is now as efficient as swap partition support, and in linux you can turn it on and off without rebooting.  sudo swapon -s, sudo swapon /dev/hda5, sudo swapoff ...
[11:42] <VSpike> definitely: in windows, it creates a separate hibernation file
[11:42] <VSpike> definitely: in linux, it uses swap
[11:42] <jgoguen> definitely: Linux != Windows :)
[11:42] <definitely> but what you guys think, do i need swap or not :) ? i am bit green in linux
[11:42] <VSpike> definitely: also, you can have several different swap files/partitions enabled, and set priority on them
[11:42] <definitely> jgoguen: what means != ? :D
[11:42] <VSpike> definitely: you can even create on on a flash disk if oyu like
[11:42] <VSpike> definitely: does not equal
[11:43] <jgoguen> definitely: sorry...it means literally "not equal to"...in this case I mean it as a short form for "is not"
[11:43] <VSpike> definitely: so you can experiment yourself and see what works best, without rebooting
[11:43] <VSpike> definitely: on my desktop with 2G, my definition for swap in /etc/fstab was broken and I didn't notice for months
[11:43] <definitely> In my pc swap is always at zero usage :D
[11:44] <VSpike> On my laptop with 1.5G the same happened, and when I ran a Virtualbox VM and firefox and banshee, the machine hang :)
[11:44] <VSpike> hung? whatever
[11:44] <jgoguen> VSpike: with my 2GB machine I noticed as soon as swap got messed up :(
[11:45] <definitely> Ok, thnx for info. :) I should leave it to be on then ;D anyway it is not in use,
[11:45] <VSpike> On my 2GB machine now, I have a 1GB Virtualbox VM running and I have 34% swap used :)
[11:46] <VSpike> definitely: the linux memory management is good .. best to trust it to do its thing.  After all, whats a few gig of disk space?
[11:46] <definitely> Dunno, using 2x 2 GB 800 Mhz + Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 ;D Swap is zero ;D
[11:46] <definitely> 120 GB for my Ubuntu Intrepidf
[11:46] <VSpike> definitely: you can also tune how "swappy" the machine is if you want
[11:46] <alanbshepard77> VSpike: Do you have a problem using virtualbox in seamless mode? It goes crazy when I try to use it. Most of the time the guest OS leaves nasty remnants on my desktop.
[11:47] <VSpike> definitely: endless possibility to tweak and tune :)
[11:47] <VSpike> alanbshepard77: ouch.  I think I tried it once and it broke so hard I never tried again :)
[11:47] <definitely> Seamless mode makes problems
[11:47] <definitely> for me too
[11:47] <definitely> you should use minimum 2 applications for it, else it will fail
[11:48] <alanbshepard77> VSpike, definitely: I'm just glad to know it was screwy for others.
[11:48] <definitely> VMWare has smth similar called Unity doesnt it
[11:48] <definitely>  ?
[11:49] <VSpike> So, no-one can help me with gdb problem?  Maybe I should just post the bug and hope the devs on launchpad can advise
[11:50] <InFeh> Anyone else been having problems with nvidia-settings and possibly xrandr? xrandr doesn't find my second monitor, nvidia-settings does, is able to configure it, but doesn't enable it.
[11:51] <InFeh> As it is now, my second monitor is part of my desktop, but doesn't display anything.
[12:01] <pawan> hi
[12:01] <pawan> when is the new version coming out
[12:04] <Hobbsee> never!
[12:07] <rocky> what's the most supported (ie preferred) way of say encrypting an entire directory on intrepid ?
[12:11] <joaopinto> rocky, you could use the Private directory, and just create a link on the original dir path that you want to encrypt
[12:12] <joaopinto> I am assuming you are talking about an user related dir, not system
[12:12] <rocky> joaopinto: well using "the Private directory" is probably fine but i've not heard of this... please elaborate :)
[12:12] <rocky> yes, user dir
[12:13] <joaopinto> rocky, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedPrivateDirectory
[12:13] <rocky> thanks!
[12:14] <rocky> joaopinto: this workstation is upgraded from hardy heron ... and i'm noticing i don't have a Private dir, guess i might have to do some manual setup
[12:14] <joaopinto> yes, you need the private dire setup, described on the wiki ;)
[12:15] <joaopinto> the private dir is a new feature from 8.10
[12:15] <legend2440> rocky: this might be less confusing     http://dustinkirkland.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/encrypted-private-directories-in-ubuntu-intrepid/
[12:16] <rocky> right... i'm on 8.10 right now upgraded from hardy
[12:16] <rocky> that wiki page is a big ol proposal... still scanning for the actual instructions ;)
[12:16] <Cameron> if I install the RC version, then update using APT after 8.10 is released, will I have an identical system as if I installed 8.10 release itself ?
[12:16] <rocky> legend2440: thanks, will look there too
[12:16] <rski> Cameron: yes when it's released.
[12:21] <predator363> anyone in?
[12:22] <rocky> ok so essentially "ecryptfs-setup-private" is what i want... but i can't seem to find if there's any way to use my existing gpg key as the private key for my encrypted Private dir
[12:22] <rocky> anyone know if that's possible?
[12:26] <spirit3> Hi all, I have serious issues with the daily build and RC versions of 8.10.  No USB support - keyboard/mouse inoperable :(
[12:26] <spirit3> Booting the installer from USB drive works fine, but once install I lose USB ...
[12:31] <Delvien> plb mount command should show the filesystem type
[12:36] <spirit3> oddly, using USB->PS2 adapters doesn't work either
[12:37] <spirit3> still no keyboard/mouse
[12:44] <spirit3> ahha - once 8.10 installs it doesn't put a proper xorg.conf into place
[12:44] <awkorama> spirit3: it should be ignored starting 8.10
[12:44] <spirit3> dpkg-reconfigure -phigh x...blah also doesn't do it (puts the same file in place missing input devices)
[12:44] <awkorama> afaik
[12:45] <spirit3> oh, I've just done an X -configure and the file that generated works
[12:45] <Pici> spirit3: Xorg 7.4 no longer requires a full xorg.conf to exist.
[12:45] <spirit3> Pici: Fair enough, but the miminal config didn't wpork on this machine
[12:46] <ubuntakias> can someone help me how to change icons at ubuntu 8.04 ?
[12:47] <Pici> ubuntakias: #ubuntu is the channel to ask in for 8.04 support.
[12:48] <ubuntakias> ty
[12:49] <plagerism> Hello, I am having an issue with one of my boxes at  home in intrepid.  I saw a couple of bug reports that seem similar, but not exact, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/272926.  Basically after a certain amount of time in X, the computer locks up.  Same effect with nvidia-177 nvidia-173 and nv drivers.  I dont have a synaptic touchpad on that system
[12:49] <plagerism> Anyone have hardlocking in intrepid due to Xorg?
[12:50] <pfarrell> is anyone having pygtk trouble in intrepid?
[12:51] <spirit3> Will the launch tomorrow go ahead?  Seems we have a lot of show stopping issues
[12:51] <pfarrell> I have a site-specific application that uses a CellRendererCombo and it looks very broken since the upgrade
[12:56] <Gweeetszorano> I'm having sound loss with Ibex.
[12:57] <roktangent> Is there a way to install Ubuntu Server with the encrypted LVM option?  I booted a bunch of ISO's I have, but it doesn't seem to be in any of the installers...is it strictly on the alternative CD?
[12:57] <Gweeetszorano> Does anyone know a fix for it, other than "alsa force-reload"?
[13:01] <tc111> i'm trying to do a 'sudo do-release-upgrade --devel-release' but keep receiving "No new release found". i'm running a local mirror/repo of hardy and intrepid that updates every 5 hours... am i missing something in my mirrors.list that i should be mirroring so that the machines can tell that there is a devel release available?
[13:01] <mnemoc> tc111: sudo update-manager -d
[13:01] <tc111> mnemoc: from a gui-less test server?
[13:02] <mnemoc> :)
[13:03] <dns53> when is intrepid going to be released?
[13:04] <W8TAH> dns53, october 31
[13:04] <W8TAH> is what ive heard
[13:04] <Pici> !ibex
[13:04] <dns53> so no major bugs? i have not heard much, it seems quiet
[13:04] <elkbuntu> dns53, it'll be some time on friday most likely. 31st aussie time.
[13:05] <dns53> no one is ogranizing release parties from what i can tell
[13:05] <elkbuntu> dns53, well, slug night is the 31st.
[13:06] <dns53> anying in adelaide?
[13:07] <elkbuntu> i dont know. is there any mention on the lists?
[13:07] <dns53> none
[13:17] <joaopinto> is the atheros driver supposed to work on the livecd, but not on an installed system ?
[13:18] <spirit3> There's problems with Atheros drivers :(
[13:19] <joaopinto> it works flawless on the livecd
[13:19] <joaopinto> on the installed system I have installed the backport module, for the wlan0 device to be available
[13:19] <joaopinto> but I am unable to connect to the AP
[13:20] <spirit3> I didn't do anything with backports, but I did disable networkmanagre and set up the device manually - which worked for a time
[13:20] <alpha> I need some help with rotating a second monitor.  8.10 does not work like 8.04 and I cant figure it out.  I have tried both rotate ccw and xrandr modes and both produce the same effect.  the rotated monitor displays in the correct rotation, but only displays down as far as the other screen then a black bar appears.  The mouse will go into the black but windows will not cover it.
[13:20] <joaopinto> the livecd provided an ath0 device, unlike the current wlan0, so I guess it uses a different driver
[13:20] <spirit3> then the latest daily build seemed to exclude the modules required so broke it altogether
[13:21] <spirit3> I think they switche from ath_pci to ath5k/9k - but could be mistaken
[13:22] <joaopinto> grr, I what a problematic upgrade :\
[13:26] <spirit3> yup, and I've just noticed an updgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 puts the new modules in /lib/modules and config etc in /boot but then fails to a) place the correct vmlinuz into place and b) doesn't update grub anyway ...
[13:27] <joaopinto> spirit3, I already reported that a few days ago
[13:27] <spirit3> in fairness they may be updates since the last RC build but I can't fetch updates due to wireless being broken
[13:28] <spirit3> joaopinto: excellent - saves me doing it :)
[13:28] <joaopinto> Please check bug 287747
[13:29] <Luke> anyone know how to sync to ntp with ibex? I dont see any gui options for it
[13:29] <joaopinto> Another person experiencing it maybe usefull, since the initial feedback was "unable to reproduce"
[13:30] <tvakah> say, what is "the command" to upgrade a hardy server to intrepid?
[13:30] <joaopinto> tvakah, do-release-upgrade
[13:31] <tvakah> ahha, thanks much joaopinto
[13:38] <nemo> Anyone know why most icon themes don't seem to work on folders anymore?
[13:39] <tc111> i see that mnemoc recommended update-manager, but i'm using a gui-less server.. so, any other suggestions for: i'm trying to do a 'sudo do-release-upgrade --devel-release' but keep receiving "No new release found". i'm running a local mirror/repo of hardy and intrepid that updates every 5 hours... am i missing something in my mirrors.list that i should be mirroring so that the machines can tell that there is a devel release available?
[13:39] <tvakah> tc111, sudo do-release-upgrade -d worked for me here on a newly loaded hardy server
[13:40] <alpha> I need some help with rotating a second monitor.  8.10 does not work like 8.04 and I cant figure it out.  I have tried both rotate ccw and xrandr modes and both produce the same effect.  the rotated monitor displays in the correct rotation, but only displays down as far as the other screen then a black bar appears.  The mouse will go into the black but windows will not cover it.
[13:40] <tc111> tvakah: thanks, trying now...
[13:40] <tvakah> tc111, however I had manually slimmed down /etc/apt/sources.list and done a s/hardy/intrepid
[13:41] <Rubin> alpha, whoa, thats weird
[13:41] <tc111> tvakah: really, i did that when switching to hardy from gutsy, but i thought that was a thing of the past... if that's the solution, then i've been there done that and can move forward with testing. thanks.
[13:42] <Rubin> alpha, "don’t be skeptical if there’s a huge black bar on your screen - you probably just need to restart the X-server again (ctrl+alt+backspace) and then you’re set"  from some random blog. you restarted X?
[13:43] <alpha> Rubin: yeah rebooted the whole machine each time actually .. no joy
[13:43] <PovAdct_w> use a larger hammer
[13:43] <Rubin> alpha, nvidia?
[13:44] <alpha> yes quadro fx
[13:44] <Rubin> alpha, kde?
[13:45] <alpha> Rubin: no its gnome .. this all worked in 8.04 i even tried my xorg.conf file from that release and it has the same issue
[13:45] <Rubin> alpha, yeah it sounds like either a window-manager bug, or an xorg bug to me
[13:45] <alpha> Rubin: I wonder as well
[13:46] <alpha> Rubin: its really frustrating .. i have 2x 24" and 1 is displaying sideways right now and wont rotate .. lol
[13:46] <alpha> Rubin: how or better yet .. to who would i report the issue ?
[13:46] <Welshman> I prefer the other ubuntu desktop
[13:47] <Welshman> just updated
[13:47]  * Rubin likes the coffee stain one
[13:47] <Welshman> yeah, it was different
[13:48] <Rubin> man launchpad bugtracker is dragging ass. I wonder if its getting slammed by testers
[13:48] <BUGabundo_work1> Hobbsee: asac asked me to install nm -dbgdym
[13:48] <BUGabundo_work1> but I don't know how to do that!
[13:48] <Welshman> with release coming up I guess they didnt want to put people off
[13:49] <BUGabundo_work1> wgrant: ping
[13:49] <alpha> Any idea if they will have the nautalis samba mounting bug fixed by release .. they seem to be dragging butt on some of these issue
[13:49] <wgrant> BUGabundo_work1: Hi.
[13:49] <Welshman> my ati hd 2400 works great in ibex, well done
[13:49] <BUGabundo_work1> alpha: using gvfs seems to work around it for me
[13:49] <Kosmo321> upgraded to kubuntu 8.10 but mouse no longer works. Anybody else have this happen?
[13:50] <wgrant> alpha: Works flawlessly for me, and I'm not aware of any known issues. We can't fix things if you don't report them.
[13:50] <BUGabundo_work1> thanks to wgrant for the pointer
[13:50] <Welshman> especially since there is no ati driver for it?
[13:50] <BUGabundo_work1> wgrant: : asac asked me to install nm -dbgdym. how do I do that ?
[13:50] <wgrant> BUGabundo_work1: Add ddebs.ubuntu.com to your sources.list, and install network-manager-dbgsym
[13:50] <alpha> wgrant: its been reported about 1000 times over the last week.  I can give you details now if you would like, its fairly easy to reproduce
[13:51] <BUGabundo_work1> thanks
[13:51] <BUGabundo_work1> google did not give me that repo
[13:51] <wgrant> alpha: Do you have a bug number?
[13:52] <BUGabundo_work1> wgrant: I know the bug he is talking about
[13:52] <wgrant> BUGabundo_work1: But I do not.
[13:52] <BUGabundo_work1> I just got an email from LP asking the same thing... to retest
[13:52] <alpha> wgrant:  it actually seems to be working now with domain auth (which was not working last time i checked) .. let me try on my workgroup and off the domain
[13:52] <BUGabundo_work1> let me look in my trahs
[13:53] <BUGabundo_work1> I think its bug 211631, correct alpha?
[13:54] <alpha> wgrant:  yeah no workgroup doesnt work.  trying to auth to a share on a machine or nas device that is not setup on the domain fails still
[13:54] <BUGabundo_work1> oh way
[13:54] <BUGabundo_work1> that's a diferent thing!
[13:54] <alpha> BUGabundo_work1: that is part of it .. but my issue and others that i have heard of is they cannot do smb://share/ and then correctly auth through naut
[13:54] <BUGabundo_work1> I'm not following that bug!
[13:55] <BUGabundo_work1> it was been working for me, preaty well, with nautilus
[13:55] <BUGabundo_work1> no more empty folders.... that sucked on hardy
[13:56] <wgrant> alpha: Non-domain auth works fine for me. That device wouldn't be using LANMAN-only auth, would it?
[13:57] <alpha> my main concern is fixing this screen rotation issue that has poped up in 8.10 .. not sure where the problem is coming from
[13:57] <alpha> wgrant:  the nas box i have would be
[13:57] <alpha> wgrant: but the computer beside it wouldnt
[13:57] <wgrant> alpha: Only oldish braindead NASes should be.
[13:58] <alpha> wgrant: consider it that then ... but i cant replace it we use it still with some old systems
[13:59] <alpha> wgrant:  there is a workaround though .. i can just mount trough terminal or fstab and it works fine
[13:59] <wgrant> Hmmm, it be 1am. I should go to bed.
[14:00] <Rubin> alpha, put your xorg.conf on pastebin.ca
[14:00] <alpha> Rubin: sure np
[14:00] <Rubin> alpha, i suspect it has more to do with mismatched screens than the rotation, exactly.

[14:06] <BUGabundo> ahhhh deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/ddebs/ intrepid main universe
[14:09] <Rubin> alpha, what happens if you comment out the RandRRotation and do the other Rotate instead?
[14:09] <alpha> Rubin:  exactly the same thing .. either rotation method = same results
[14:10] <Rubin> alpha, it looks like you have twinview disabled. why is that?
[14:10] <alpha>  because i use a dock and it would be placed 1/2 on one monitor and 1/2 on the other with twinview
[14:11] <BUGabundo> is it just me or is LP having timeouts?
[14:12] <Rubin> alpha, you might try remoning the auto-select meta-modes thing and specifying them manually

[14:16] <spree> Hi. Is the newest version of PHP included in Ibex? Hardy is like 2 versions behind and there are security vulnerabilities in older versions
[14:17] <definitely> What is difference between Nvidia-Settings and Nvidia-Xconfig
[14:17] <Rubin> spree, whene there are security fixes in ubuntu, changes are back-ported without version increases. so just because the overall version is as old as one on php's site with a bug, doesnt mean the bug exists
[14:22] <stahlstift> Is now a server known where I could already download the final version from 8.10 ?
[14:23] <Pici> stahlstift: Seeing as how its not out yet... no.
[14:23] <stahlstift> pici: the spreading always begins earlier... I got 8.04 final also 2 days before release...
[14:24] <Pici> stahlstift: It depends on what iso bugs are still being squashed.
[14:25] <darius12> and what would be the benefit in getting it a day earlier anyway? it's not like it is a big secret what will be in it :)
[14:26] <stahlstift> darius12: you can updated...
[14:26] <stahlstift> *update
[14:26] <stahlstift> and don´t have to wait 4 days untill the mirrors are free again
[14:27] <darius12> bittorrent would probably help with this problem
[14:29] <xy77> My System freezes, whenever I start glxgears or a GL screensaver. Bootlog states [fglrx] GART Table is not in FRAME_BUFFER range. This is a Thinkpad T42p with ATI FireGL Mobility T2.
[14:30] <xy77> using Intrepid of course and this problem only appeared today after an update, yesterday it was not there.
[14:32] <spree> Rubin: I don't understand. Are you saying that even though PHP is an older version the security flaw is fixed in it?
[14:32] <spree> Rubin: that really doesn't sound like it rings true
[14:32] <rski> you know what a backport is spree ?
[14:33] <rski> or older version's aren't affected.
[14:33] <rski> could be loads of things
[14:33] <td123> darius12: actually the torrent is also bogged down to really slow speeds too :D
[14:33] <spree> well, when I do Nessus scans against my servers i get warnings that i'm using older versions that have vulnerabilities. It's hard for me to maintain security compliance when that is the case
[14:34] <xy77> Can someone help me find out what's wrong, please?
[14:34] <td123> darius12: my university offers an ubuntu mirror so I can download it in about a minute or less :P

[14:36] <LocutusOfBorg> hello everyone
[14:36] <spree> !ask xy77
[14:36] <spree> xy77 just ask the question
[14:36] <LocutusOfBorg> does anybody know hot to set ntp on intrepid?
[14:36] <xy77> My System freezes, whenever I start glxgears or a GL screensaver. Bootlog states [fglrx] GART Table is not in FRAME_BUFFER range. This is a Thinkpad T42p with ATI FireGL Mobility T2. using Intrepid of course and this problem only appeared today after an update, yesterday it was not there.
[14:37] <xy77> and using the fglrx drivers
[14:44] <DanaG> Ugh, gnome-power-manager is ignoring my sleep hotkey.
[14:47] <DanaG> Isn't FireGL T2 in the 9800 (R350) era or earlier?  If so, try the open-source driver.
[14:48] <drx777> DanaG do you know whether it supports 3d acceleration?
[14:50] <Cameron> gotta love usb-creator
[14:50] <Cameron> installing new versions of ubuntu is now soo much faster.. (and usb-creator worked for me in hardy)
[14:52] <drx777> *trying-free-driver-* *brb*
[14:53] <Rubin> spree, if nessus is only checking the version and not actualy checking for the vulnerability, thats kinda a bogus scan.
[14:53] <Rubin> spree, all big distros backport security fixes. you cant be upgrading to the lastest version of things all the time just because theres a security fix. you only want to fix the security, not also get new bugs from feature changes etc.
[14:54] <nemo> Rubin: but, but, that's not how it works in windows :)
[14:54] <Rubin> nemo, rofl
