| [00:30] <telexicon> How on earth do I disable gdm? | |

| [01:46] <fruitbag> Hey | |
| [01:47] <MenZa> Herro. | |
| [01:47] <fruitbag> I have a problem: whenever I boot Ubuntu from disk and run it, I get an out-of-range resolution message from my monitor. | |
| [02:01] <forsaken> i just installed hardy and my mouse when i drag down the right side doesn't scroll, it did in alpha 2, anyone know why this is? | |

| [02:52] <telexicon> is something wrong with the I/O scheduler in hardy? | |
| [02:53] <telexicon> im on gigabit and trying to copy a file across gigabit over ftp and I can only get 10MB/s | |
| [02:53] <telexicon> on gutsy I was able to get 50MB/s | |
| [02:56] <telexicon> well i dunno if thats IO scheduler.. could be a driver thing.. the system lags out so much while transferring it becomes unusable | |

| [03:45] <LimCore> can I use kernel 2.6.19.2 with my 7.10 ? or is it too old? | |
| [03:47] <Hobbsee> LimCore: this is not 7.10 support | |
| [03:47] <LimCore> and for Hardy? | |
| [03:47] <LimCore> well, never mind | |
| [03:49] <Hobbsee> LimCore: you can try, but don't expect support for it | |
| [04:50] <crimsun> right, so alsa* fixed from earlier. Apologies for the logic snafu. | |
| [04:53] <ryanpg> hey, I've got a weird one. I'm running hardy on a toshiba satellite A215, USB devices work once (I can plug a mouse in and it will be found) but only once, if a device is unplugged USB will be disabled | |
| [04:54] <ryanpg> dmesg won't even report an attached device | |
| [04:54] <ryanpg> BUT | |
| [04:54] <ryanpg> if I run lsusb the device (like a mouse) will be found! | |

| [06:01] <teethdood> totem is beyond stuttering...it's crawling frame by frame. I used to edit the preferences and changed the video plugin to something else | |
| [06:01] <teethdood> but the preferences menu is gone! | |
| [06:01] <DanaG> Oh, and here's a novel use of PulseAudio: allow people to use the Dolby Digital encoding on nvidia's ancient, abandoned nvsound / nvaudio OSS drivers with ALSAapps. | |
| [06:02] <crimsun> bypass ALSA altogether and just use OSSv4 (or newer) as the backend. | |
| [06:02] <DanaG> Doesn't do the Dolby Digital ENcoding. I don't need it, but some people do. | |

| [11:04] <mlpug> I took hardy test 3, downloaded sources and compiled dvb/dvb-usb modules. outputted .ko files are roughly ten times as big as the corresponding .ko files under /lib/modules. Any idea why is this? Is this OK? | |

| [12:22] <picard_pwns_kirk> how do I configure my touchpad? | |
| [12:22] <picard_pwns_kirk> I want to enable edge scrolling, and disable the tap to click, but there's no xorg.conf file | |
| [12:29] <picard_pwns_kirk> is there any way I can set this? | |
| [12:44] <Tomcat_> picard_pwns_kirk: You can try gsynaptics | |
| [12:44] <picard_pwns_kirk> already did | |
| [12:44] <picard_pwns_kirk> needs a setting in the xorg.conf file | |
| [12:46] <Tomcat_> picard_pwns_kirk: man synaptics | |
| [12:48] <picard_pwns_kirk> it refers me to a bunch of settings in the xorg.conf | |
| [12:48] <picard_pwns_kirk> and I've already tried creating one by hand | |
| [12:49] <Tomcat_> picard_pwns_kirk: Well, that's about how you configure your touchpad. ;) | |
| [12:49] * Hobbsee suspects picard_pwns_kirk was looking in the wrong place, or did a typo, or something | |

| [12:51] <Hobbsee> picard_pwns_kirk: sure, but i thought they still generated an xorg.conf by default anyway | |
| [12:51] <picard_pwns_kirk> hopefully it gets fixed, I'll subscribe to any bugs | |
| [12:51] <Tomcat_> Well, in Alpha 3 there is one. ;) | |

| [13:00] <mlpug> where is information about the role of the files in /lib/firmware? when are they used and what triggers their use? do drivers have "pointer" to corresponding .fw and when driver is loaded then .fw is loaded to the device or what is this? | |

| [18:02] <DanaG> That's odd: you can no longer set the brightness of the LCD when on battery. | |
| [18:02] <DanaG> Now it's just "Reduce Backlight Brightness". | |
| [18:06] <DanaG> And the logic of "Brightness when on battery" in gconf is BACKWARDS. | |
| [18:06] <DanaG> I set it to 63%, I get 37% brightness, and vice versa. | |
| [18:47] <nwps> can anyone help; i just moved from gentoo to hardy alpha 3. i have a encrypted partition from gentoo that uses cryptoloop, but i can't seem to be able to mount it on kubuntu. cryptoloop and aes-generic modules are loaded, but i still get "mount: you must specify the filesystem type". any ideas? | |
| [18:49] <DanaG> Perhaps there's a package you need to install to get crypto support. | |
| [18:49] <DanaG> (I'm just guessing; I've never used cryptoloop.) | |
| [18:50] <DanaG> search for 'crypt' in the package manager (such as aptitude). | |
| [18:50] <nwps> i always thought you just needed util-linux with "crypto" support (USE="crypt" on gentoo) and the kernel modules. | |
| [18:50] <blkorpheus> where is the key? | |
| [18:51] <blkorpheus> probably still on the gentoo box? | |
| [18:51] <blkorpheus> what used to be gentoo? | |
| [18:52] <nwps> no, i don't think cryptoloop even uses separete key files? i have done re-installs before and the encrypted partition always worked after that. | |
| [18:53] <DanaG> !info cryptsetup | |
| [18:53] <ubotu> cryptsetup: configures encrypted block devices. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.0.5-2ubuntu8 (hardy), package size 86 kB, installed size 404 kB | |
| [18:55] <nwps> i have had the same kind of problem before on gentoo. then i had to re-emerge util-linux with "old-crypt" use-flag, but that was probably 2 years ago, when something big was changed in util-linux (i think). | |

| [20:34] <crdlb> I know that most (if not all) video drivers can't do rotation with compiz running, but that's not compiz's fault | |

| [21:37] <UnNaturalHigh> Javid, no, but catering to people who lack the intelligence to look before they ask is not what this channel is about | |

| [21:38] <Javid> If you supplied a "yes" or a "no" we'd be entirely done with this conversation already | |
