[02:43] <gluer> Hi, my sounds all screwed up, low volume with a lot of crackle.. its a realtek acl861vd any ideas how to fix?
[02:45] <gluer> inital ubuntu drums sound fine, then after logging in it doest work properly
[04:50] <gluer> im almost pulling my hair out to try and get my sound card to work with latest intrepid! its an alc861vd, the most i can get working is crappy noise through pc speaker, can someone point me in the right direction?
[04:51] <gluer> otherwise i will move on to my wireless not working, lol
[05:20] <jbroome> I get all comfy with KVM, and bug 243677 comes along and pees on it.

[05:24] <gnomefreak> jbroome: lots of kernel issues, well the issues came with .4 kernel some might have already been there and i just didnt see them

[05:43] <derekS> hi. I am mounting a cifs drive fine in hardy, but intrepid is giving me problems, any known bugs on this?
[05:46] <gnomefreak> derekS: i havent seen one you might want to check and/or file a bug on launchpad.net
[05:47] <derekS> gnomefreak: will do, thanks
[05:47] <gnomefreak> derekS: no problem
[05:47] * gnomefreak needs to file a few but i think ill wait until i wake up if i sleep
[06:05] <gnomefreak> jbroome: have you tried setting up an intrepid chroot by chance?
[06:06] <gnomefreak> apt-get update while in chroot i get bash: apt-get: command not found
[06:06] <gnomefreak> thats bad because i cant install apt without well apt
[06:08] <tnnc> anyone else having trouble connecting to the vncserver is there an fix
[06:12] <jbroome> gnomefreak: i haven't
[06:20] <gnomefreak> jbroome: you dont want to either
[06:20] <gnomefreak> for some damn reason it doesnt install apt
[06:21] <gnomefreak> yep fixed it by installing apt

[07:43] <DanaG> Anybody else have NetworkManager b0rken?
[07:43] <DanaG> s/en/ed/
[07:43] <gnomefreak> nope
[07:44] <gnomefreak> but im using pre-release atleast i dont think he pushed them yet
[07:44] <RAOF> DanaG: Yup. I believe it's a consolekit problem, actually.
[07:44] <DanaG> Aah.
[07:44] <gnomefreak> 0.7~~svn20080703t022721+eni2-0ubuntu0~pre2
[07:44] <gnomefreak> 0.7 fixes alot of bugs
[07:44] <DanaG> Well, the fact that it's a known issue satisfies me; for now, I can live without wireless. Wired works fine.
[07:45] <DanaG> Aah, I see... networkmanager isn't broken....
[07:45] <RAOF> DanaG: The problem is that all the dbus requests are being denied; the at-console allow rule isn't being activated.
[07:45] <DanaG> but it's communication with the applets is.
[07:45] <RAOF> Right.
[07:45] <DanaG> argh, I flubbed my apostrophe. /me slaps himself.
[07:45] <RAOF> I'm not sure that it's a known issue; I've been offline recently, so it may not have hit launchpad.
[07:46] <gnomefreak> RAOF: alot of bugs are known before they hit Lp since asac maintains it and i test it with a few others
[07:46] <gnomefreak> but depends on bug
[07:46] <RAOF> Fair enough.
[07:46] <gnomefreak> not everyone sees same issues
[07:47] <RAOF> Yup!
[07:47] <DanaG> Odd... I can't sudo killall -9 nm-applet.
[07:47] <DanaG> It's unkillable, for some reason.
[07:47] <RAOF> Argh! Why isn't my banshee patch applied yet!
[07:47] <gnomefreak> RAOF: while your here. have you packaged ruby before?
[07:47] <RAOF> Nope.
[07:47] <RAOF> Not ever.
[07:47] <gnomefreak> dont :(
[07:47] <RAOF> Orly?
[07:48] <gnomefreak> when it fails it doesnt give you crap to go on
[07:48] <RAOF> That's annoying.
[07:48] <gnomefreak> this maybe why its broken
[07:49] <gnomefreak> all i wanted to do is use alexandria but no cant do that because of ruby1.8 breakage
[07:49] <DanaG> Ooh: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk-qt-engine-kde4/+bug/204351
[07:49] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 204351 in gtk-qt-engine-kde4 "FFe for gtk-qt-engine-kde4" [Wishlist,Fix released]
[07:49] <DanaG> Hmm, I tried KDE4, but didn't like the screwy desktop folder view.
[07:49] <DanaG> Screwy as in, can't resize the edges.
[07:49] <RAOF> I tried KDE4, but it doesn't handle dual head _at all_.
[07:50] <gnomefreak> im on kde4.1 pre-release and it works great
[07:50] <gnomefreak> not on it atm
[07:50] <RAOF> Maybe it's time to install kubuntu-desktop again, then.
[07:51] <RAOF> Some of KDE4 looks good; I really like some of the simple, effective QT animations, for example.
[07:51] <gnomefreak> most people i asked before installing said its much better than 4.0 i like it a little more but its alot more stable
[07:51] * gnomefreak hates the Windows like set up
[07:51] <DanaG> I've got oodles of disk space, so I just left it installed.
[07:52] * DanaG wants a qt-gtk engine.
[07:52] <RAOF> You mean "QT looking native on GNOME", or visa-versa? :)
[07:52] <DanaG> Yup.
[07:53] <RAOF> That's not a useful answer :)
[07:53] <DanaG> A gtk-qt engine exists, but not the converse.
[07:53] <DanaG> s/-/→/
[07:53] <RAOF> I'm pretty sure both exist now, actually.
[07:53] <gnomefreak> i do think we are gonna finally get *-kde-support for mozilla apps
[07:53] <gnomefreak> so kde users dont nee dto install gtk libs
[07:55] <DanaG> The only QT app I use is VirtualBox.
[08:05] <DanaG> Woah, I just discovered: the channel ordering gstreamer uses when decoding FLAC files is incorrect for the spec.
[08:05] <DanaG> 5 channels: left, right, center, back/surround left, back/surround right 6 channels: left, right, center, LFE, back/surround left, back/surround right
[08:05] <DanaG> Here's what it does: left right left-surround right-surround center lfe.
[08:11] <DanaG> Odd... pidgin is using the wrong font size, for some reason.
[08:31] <DanaG> Aah, extended prefs, that's why.

[13:12] <gluer> ok, got nvidia working, iwl3945 wireless working and alsa sound working! only took 24 hrs! lol
[13:45] <ForgeAus> wow october already? thats sooner than I thought!
[13:45] <ForgeAus> its only july I guess... but 3 months, I was thinking more like 6 or more
[13:46] <ForgeAus> Intrepid is the next Kubuntu I'm planning to get, (skipped over a few since Feisty)

[15:29] <WelshDragon> Is there any milestone target set for when the nvidia drivers will start working again? :)
[15:55] <gnomefreak> WelshDragon: they work fine
[15:55] <WelshDragon> Oh...Then i've got a problem ^^
[15:56] <WelshDragon> gnomefreak, Should it still be listed under System > Administration > Hardware Drivers?
[15:56] <gnomefreak> WelshDragon: back up your xorg.conf and run nvidia-config
[15:56] <gnomefreak> WelshDragon: dont count on it
[15:56] <gnomefreak> WelshDragon: first install the drivers for you card
[15:56] <gnomefreak> than do the above
[15:57] <WelshDragon> kk, done, brb
[16:07] <WelshDragon> gnomefreak, It went into failsafe mode when trying to boot. Which log file can i look in to try and locate the problem?
[16:14] <gnomefreak> WelshDragon: you need to run nvidia-config than look at the .xorg file to see everything is there than reboot it should work out ok
[16:15] <gnomefreak> or leave and hope what i said to you earlier is the same i told you now
[16:57] <MGrunde> Has anyone else tried installing fglrx in Intrepid?
[17:07] <joaopinto> Hello I have no sound on hardy, could someone provide me some guidance to investigate the problem ?
[17:09] <MGrunde> Did you try #ubuntu? This channel is supposed to be for discussion if Intrepid.
[17:09] <MGrunde> of Intrepid*
[17:09] <joaopinto> #ubuntu is not for support for intrepid
[17:09] <bazhang> you said hardy
[17:10] <joaopinto> ops, forget it
[17:10] <joaopinto> anyway, found the problem, ignore me :P
[17:10] <bazhang> :)

[18:53] <LSD|Ninja> Dekans: I take it you didn't read the sign on the way in?
[18:54] <s0u][ight> is there a place to fallow the state of the new version?
[18:54] <LSD|Ninja> s0u][ight: here is as good a place as any
[18:54] <Unksi> any idea if intel wlan modules are working now?
[18:55] <s0u][ight> ok can i be informed
[18:55] <Dekans> LSD|Ninja: right XD
[18:55] <Dekans> didn't see on wich channel I was :p
[18:55] <LSD|Ninja> :P
[18:59] <s0u][ight> so what is working what is broken
[19:00] <MGrunde> fglrx is broken
[19:00] <s0u][ight> i have nvidia
[19:01] <MGrunde> I haven't noticed much else that is completely broken.
[19:01] <s0u][ight> hmm what kernel was intrepid ibex using?
[19:01] <MGrunde> 2.6.26-4
[19:01] <s0u][ight> :) excellent
[19:02] <s0u][ight> do you guys recommend to upgrade
[19:02] <MGrunde> Not if you want stability
[19:02] <LSD|Ninja> s0u][ight: not yet
[19:02] <LSD|Ninja> pretty much everything is broken in some way or another right now
[19:04] <s0u][ight> dissapointing
[19:04] <s0u][ight> since i need that kernel
[19:06] <MGrunde> Alpha 3 should be out in a week or so, could be a bit more stable.
[19:19] <MGrunde> Is Intrepid definitely going to use 2.6.26, or is there a chance that 2.6.27 will be used if it's released in time?
[19:23] <s0u][ight> http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=zT9J6HHO9Xc lmao
[19:27] <MGrunde> Haha
[19:28] <s0u][ight> such easy steps
[19:29] <s0u][ight> but there is a much better way (chntpw) using the sam security and system files located it c:\windows/system32/config/
[19:45] <s0u][ight> so what's the command to upgrade to intrepid ibex?

[23:48] <__mikem> I would like to see a screenshot of the currently proposed artwork for intrepid. I tried looking on the wiki but I am having trouple
[23:50] <gluer> mikem: i found a really cool intrepid wallpaper online
[23:51] <__mikem> gluer: i want to see what the default desktop will look like
[23:51] <gluer> mikem: ah
[23:51] <gluer> mikem: some really good mockups on deviantart
[23:52] <__mikem> Actually I managed to find some mochups on the wiki, really well hidden though. This one looks nice
[23:52] <BHSPitLappy> __mikem, try #ubuntu-artwork
[23:52] <__mikem> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/Clear_Intrepid?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=NewClear.png
[23:53] <BHSPitLappy> That's such a horribly inconsistent theme though.
[23:53] <__mikem> BHSPitLappy: well they still have some edges to iron out
[23:53] <__mikem> but the concept is nice
[23:53] <BHSPitLappy> __mikem, like randomly black menus and widgets?
[23:53] <__mikem> yup
[23:54] <BHSPitLappy> I also don't care for giving the ubuntu logo perspective
[23:55] <__mikem> I do, even if I think its too much, thats the kind of thing that'll get ubuntu on more computers
