| [03:18] <leviwine> hi @ all | |
| [03:18] <leviwine> is anybody using photoshop cs3 on ubuntu? | |
| [03:21] <jbroome> support in #ubuntu | |
| [03:27] <Dedi> hardy-neon packages should work with intrepid too, not? | |
| [03:28] <Hobbsee> i wouldn't bet on it | |

| [05:03] <gluer> hi, alpha 3 out thursday? | |
| [05:06] <gluer> can the intel wireless iwl3954 firmware be included, i think it was missing in alpha 2 | |
| [05:06] <RAOF> I don't think it was? | |
| [05:07] <RAOF> Or, at least, my iwl3945 hasn't stopped working at any point in the Intrepid cycle. | |
| [05:07] <gluer> i did a fresh install with alpha 2 cd | |
| [05:11] <gluer> im pretty sure it was missing from alpha 2 coz i installed it about 5 times | |
| [05:12] <gluer> then had to download and copy it into firmware | |
| [05:19] <Hobbsee> mine's been working fine too | |
| [05:59] <LSD|Ninja> Desktop CDs are due to drop in Alpha 3, right? | |
| [05:59] * LSD|Ninja can't wait | |
| [06:01] <gluer> lsdninja : what do u mean? | |
| [06:03] <gluer> do u mean the alpha 3 cd? | |
| [06:18] <scyrma> I've been using Debian/sid for many years at home.. now on Ubuntu at work .. I miss the thrill and occasional brokeness of Sid .. is Intrepid comparable, or will my box explode? :) | |
| [06:19] <RAOF> Pretty comparable. | |
| [06:20] <LSD|Ninja> Lots of stuff is broken in Intrepid right now, you'll cream your pants by the sound of it | |
| [06:20] <RAOF> We've past the hugely-less-stable-than-Sid mass-import stage. Now it should be just the regular ordinary development version brokenness, pretty much. | |
| [06:20] <scyrma> hmm.. sounds like fun | |
| [06:21] <LSD|Ninja> Speaking of Sid, I realise that acronym means "Still in Development" but was that chosend because Sid too is a character from Toy Story? | |
| [06:22] <scyrma> I think it's both .. I think the acronym is a "backronym" too | |
| [06:23] <RAOF> "Sid will break your toys". | |
| [06:23] <RAOF> Is the source, I believe. | |
| [06:24] <LSD|Ninja> It makes sense, I'm just wondering if that's the reason it was chosen | |
| [06:31] <RAOF> I think it was, yes. | |
| [06:46] <RAOF> Goddamnit, nvidia! Fix the frikkin full-screen black flashes when changing clockspeed already. | |
| [06:46] <hyperair_> O_o | |
| [06:46] <hyperair_> what? | |
| [06:47] <hyperair_> weren't you using nouveau? | |
| [06:47] <RAOF> Today I'm testing nvidia-glx-177. | |
| [06:47] <hyperair_> my card doesn't give black flashes when changing clock speed | |
| [06:47] <hyperair_> i see | |
| [06:47] <RAOF> While running compiz? | |
| [06:47] <hyperair_> yes | |
| [06:47] <hyperair_> i use nvclock | |
| [06:48] <hyperair_> and coolbits or wahtever it was for changing the clock speed isn't existent on my card | |
| [06:48] <hyperair_> either that or my driver | |
| [06:48] <hyperair_> so nvclock uses some other backend to do it | |
| [06:48] <RAOF> Well, the nvidia drivers will automatically downclock to save power. | |
| [06:48] <hyperair_> seriously? | |
| [06:48] <RAOF> At least on my laptop carde. | |
| [06:48] <RAOF> Yes. | |
| [06:48] <hyperair_> i never knew that | |
| [06:48] <hyperair_> like cpu freq scaling huh | |
| [06:48] <RAOF> I can tell, because everytime they do, the whole screen flashes black! | |
| [06:49] <hyperair_> lol isn't there a way to disable it | |
| [06:49] <RAOF> There might be. On the other hand, I'm a bit of a fan of not burning more battery than strictly necessary. | |
| [06:50] <LSD|Ninja> I wonder if they're waiting for Alpha 3 before pushing out the new nvidia 96.43 package... | |
| [06:50] <hyperair_> simple solution to that: tune it to the lowest clock speed and force it to stay | |
| [06:50] <RAOF> Well, that option isn't exposed in any of the tools I have. | |
| [06:50] <hyperair_> LSD|Ninja: doesn't nvidia-glx-96 work? | |
| [06:51] <RAOF> He's almost certainly talking about a version that works with the Xserver 1.5 ABI. | |
| [06:51] <hyperair_> oh | |
| [06:52] <LSD|Ninja> hyperair_: last I checked, it was 96.43.05. Latest is 96.43.07. nVidia don't explicitly mention xorg 1.5 (they may be waiting for it to ge releases) but I still want to try iy | |
| [06:52] <hyperair_> okay... so that means that i'm not going to get any nvidia support if i switch to intrepid now | |
| [06:52] <hyperair_> =( | |
| [06:53] <hyperair_> then i'll just sit around in arch and wait for it to work | |
| [07:30] <murlidhar> i have install intrepid as a base installation. and have put lxde as the default window manager. i am trying to change the wallpapers but i am not able to since i can't remember where the settings are . | |
| [08:14] <murlidhar> i accidently activated a radio button in the gui and the problem started | |
| [08:14] <murlidhar> why is the channel so quiet? | |
| [08:15] <murlidhar> or is it me lagging? | |
| [08:15] <murlidhar> anyone ? | |
| [08:24] <root0> hi. anyone know how to enable nvidia propietary driver? i know someone did it... | |
| [08:26] <hyperair__> install nvidia-glx-xxx | |
| [08:26] <RAOF> "sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-177 && sudo nvidia-xconfig" (and then probably remove the rgb.txt line from your xorg.conf. | |
| [08:26] <hyperair__> what rgb.txt line? | |
| [08:27] <RAOF> Unless you've got a geforce 5, in which case you replace 177 with 173. Or have a geforce 4, in which case you replace 177 with 96. Or have a geforce 2 or below, in which case your computer combusts. | |
| [08:28] <RAOF> hyperair__: Apparently nvidia-xconfig will write a line that's no longer accepted in Xserver 1.5; I don't think I hit it because I actually had an xorg.conf file. | |
| [08:29] <hyperair__> i see | |
| [08:29] <hyperair__> i never had a rgb.txt line before | |
| [08:29] <root0> i have a geforce 6200 card. is this one still suported? | |
| [08:29] <RAOF> Yes. | |
| [08:30] <RAOF> It's a geforce 6. That's still supported by the 177 driver. | |
| [08:30] <hyperair__> T_T geforce4 for me | |
| [08:30] <root0> thanks. i'l install it now. | |
| [08:32] <RAOF> hyperair__: Nvidia hate you :) | |
| [08:33] <hyperair__> >=( hate you too nvidia | |
| [08:34] <root0> one more thing that i hit today. after a clean install the splash screen seems to be broken. i'm not sure how to isolate and find were is the problem. | |
| [08:34] <RAOF> The bootsplash? Yeah, that's borken. | |
| [08:34] <RAOF> It's usplash (or possibly vm86, or uvesafb) | |
| [08:36] <root0> i'm not using it, but i just wanted to be sure that it is a known problem. | |
| [08:49] <root0> it's not working. nvidia-glx-177 is installed but nvidia-xconfig is not. if i try to install nvidia-xconfig synaptic is trying to remove nvidia-glx-177. is kinda odd... and on gnome-app-install it says this: "NVidia binary X.Org driver ('new' driver) cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)." | |

| [12:53] <ace_> Hi all | |
| [12:53] <ace_> anyone here using xgl? | |
| [12:54] <hyperair__> why would you want to use xgl? | |
| [12:54] <ace_> i've always used xgl and i think its better than just xorg | |
| [13:01] <Turski> why don't you use aiglx? | |
| [13:01] <hyperair__> xgl is the worst thing you could do to get 3d working | |
| [13:01] <hyperair__> seriously | |
| [13:01] <hyperair__> it's slow, adds an extra layer | |
| [13:01] <hyperair__> bla | |
| [13:02] <ace_> not 3d, just compiz-fusion | |
| [13:02] <ace_> brb | |
| [13:03] <s0u][ight> hello if you have 2 .deb files (new kernel) and one is an image and the other an header wich do you need to install first? | |
| [13:05] <gnomefreak> s0u][ight: doesnt matter much IIRC but you are safe with image | |
| [13:05] <gnomefreak> than headers | |
| [13:05] <hyperair__> ace_: sorry, i meant compiz fusion too. aiglx > xgl | |
| [13:05] <gnomefreak> hint you dont need headers for normal useage | |
| [13:47] <murlidhar> hi all | |
| [13:48] <murlidhar> i have installed intrepid by doing custom installation. | |
| [13:48] <murlidhar> now i want to install pulse audio without having alsa drivers | |
| [13:48] <murlidhar> is it possible ? | |
| [13:49] <murlidhar> if so what are the packages that are needed ? | |
| [13:49] <murlidhar> !pulseaudio | |
| [13:49] <ubottu> PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | |
| [13:52] <murlidhar> is alsa required ? | |
| [13:53] <murlidhar> ikonia: are u busy ? | |
| [14:03] <linkinxp> hello in my UPdate-Manager i have a package called Ubuntu-Desktop and i can't select it ! whats wrong?? | |

| [17:52] <DanaG> One thing that really bugs me: "Lock Applet" does not work as one would expect. | |
| [17:53] <DanaG> If you change screen resolutions... chances are, your panel layout will be trampled upon. | |
| [17:55] <LSD|Ninja> That's assuming you can change resolutions without hand editing xorg.conf >_< | |
| [17:59] <DanaG> My laptop can. | |
| [18:00] <DanaG> I do have to edit xorg.conf to change touchpad settings, though. | |
| [18:03] <LSD|Ninja> I can get it to change resolutions without messing with xorg.conf after a fashion but there are times when I feel editing xorg.conf would be faster. It's been 10 years, why is this still so goddamn difficult? | |
