[12:50] <FernandoMiguel> so, I changed from Nautilus to PCManFM
[12:51] <BluesKaj> hey penguin42 , someone finally shows up here...been dead in here for days
[12:51] <FernandoMiguel> BluesKaj: LIES
[12:51] <FernandoMiguel> I'm here daily
[12:51] <penguin42> BK: There were a few lines earlier
[12:51] <BluesKaj> hehe . hi FernandoMiguel
[12:52] <BluesKaj> things must be fine for quantal ...no complaints
[12:52] * BluesKaj quetly knocks on wood
[12:54] <BluesKaj> I haven't had any crashes for a week or so
[12:59] <penguin42> BK: I did the upgrade last weekend, and only used it for a couple of days; only niggle so far is that I don't get any boot splash and actually the monitor goes into powersaving until lightdm comes up, and that seems to take quite a while
[13:00] <BluesKaj> sm card wasn't recognized tho , had to use the usb adapter with the card
[13:00] <penguin42> sm?
[13:02] <BluesKaj> yeah , you know the cards from the small portable video cams , forgotten which format
[13:03] <penguin42> sd cards?
[13:03] <BluesKaj> thought it was smc or some thing like that

[13:06] <BluesKaj> have one of those universal readers on this pc , about 5 slots for different formats
[13:06] <penguin42> nod
[13:10] <BluesKaj> sd , ok, secure digital
[13:12] <penguin42> nod
[13:12] <penguin42> BluesKaj: It would be good to find out why your internal reader doesn't work
[13:13] <BluesKaj> penguin42, oddly enough there's aguy over at #kubuntu complaining about one right now
[13:15] <penguin42> BluesKaj: I think there are quite a few different sets of hardware; when you put the card in do you get any dmesg splurge?
[13:16] <BluesKaj> penguin42, no notification ..don't have the card atm
[13:19] <BluesKaj> penguin42, I do have a memory stick from the sony camera , I'll try that for now just to rest the reader
[13:19] <BluesKaj> test
[13:25] <BluesKaj> the card shows up in dolphin places , but shows it as empty ,altho there are several photos on it
[13:25] <BluesKaj> testing it on wifes' W7 pc now
[13:29] <penguin42> BluesKaj: What does it look like in a terminal?
[13:30] <BluesKaj> wife is copying some photos ..let you know in a few mins , penguin42

[14:31] <FernandoMiguel> oh this is gonna be fun
[14:31] <FernandoMiguel> PCMan is far inferior to Nautilus
[14:33] <BluesKaj> PCMan , a file manager ?
[14:37] <FernandoMiguel> yes
[14:37] <FernandoMiguel> I can't use nautilus
[14:37] <FernandoMiguel> since they removed the file tree
[14:39] <penguin42> hmm interesting, I'm getting graphics corruption in Chromium
[14:39] <BluesKaj> try dolphin :)
[14:39] <penguin42> Yeh dolphin
[14:40] <penguin42> FernandoMiguel: Or under gnome you could try thunar
[14:40] <FernandoMiguel> yeah yeah.... and pull in half of KDE
[14:40] <FernandoMiguel> :p
[14:40] <FernandoMiguel> thunar also pulls many depencies
[14:41] <BluesKaj> can't reinstall nautilus ?
[14:42] <FernandoMiguel> BluesKaj: LOLOLOLOL
[14:42] <bjsnider_> what do you mean removed the file tree

[14:43] <FernandoMiguel> bjsnider_: ^^^^^^
[14:43] <bjsnider_> FernandoMiguel, you still have root on an ssd?
[14:43] <FernandoMiguel> they killed -Kenny- Nautilys
[14:43] <FernandoMiguel> bjsnider_: I do
[14:43] <FernandoMiguel> run out of space while trying to compile chromiumOS
[14:44] <FernandoMiguel> now moving to a ZFS partition
[14:44] <penguin42> FernandoMiguel: MATE-desktop's Gnome2 build of nautilus (caja as they call it )
=== bjsnider_ is now known as bjsnider
[14:44] <FernandoMiguel> penguin42: ??
[14:45] <penguin42> FernandoMiguel: www.mate-desktop.org - they have a GNome2 ppa that you can add - so you can get the old Nautilus from there
[14:45] <FernandoMiguel> penguin42: I'm finally getting use to Unity and you want me to move?
[14:45] <FernandoMiguel> :p
[14:45] <FernandoMiguel> cool
[14:45] <FernandoMiguel> let me try
[14:47] <BluesKaj> FernandoMiguel, lol ???
[14:48] <FernandoMiguel> BluesKaj: not funny
[14:48] <BluesKaj> well , it was a legitimate question , FernandoMiguel
[14:49] <FernandoMiguel> I k, ik
[14:49] <bjsnider> FernandoMiguel, how fast does the system boot?
[14:49] <FernandoMiguel> bjsnider: http://bootcharts.f.fernandomiguel.net/
[14:49] <FernandoMiguel> let me upload the latest
[14:51] <bjsnider> i can't read anything on those images
[14:51] <bjsnider> my telescopic vision =hasn't been perfected yet
[14:53] <FernandoMiguel> bjsnider: eheh click on the left side
[14:53] <FernandoMiguel> http://img.ourdoings.com/tu/zq/z9nn9d.png
[14:54] <FernandoMiguel> bjsnider: latest boot http://img.ourdoings.com/tu/zq/z9nn9d.png
[14:57] <bjsnider> yeah but how long is it before you get a login screen?
[14:58] <FernandoMiguel> less than 10 secs
[14:58] <FernandoMiguel> why do you ask?
[14:58] <FernandoMiguel> and I have a crap load of services , nfs, cifs and ZFS mounting
[14:59] <FernandoMiguel> and this is in a 1st gen 64GBs SSD
[15:00] <FernandoMiguel> it takes less to get from power button to my desktop, than to turn on the TV LCD from the power button
[15:01] <bjsnider> that's how it is here
[15:01] <bjsnider> i'm using a new intel 520, the fastest ssd there is
[15:01] <FernandoMiguel> lulz
[15:01] <FernandoMiguel> one of those new 500MB/s ?
[15:01] <FernandoMiguel> sata6
[15:01] <bjsnider> yeah
[15:01] <FernandoMiguel> lucky bast***
[15:01] <bjsnider> and plugged into a sata3 port
[15:01] <bjsnider> it's sata 3
[15:02] <FernandoMiguel> 240GBs?
[15:03] <bjsnider> it's supposed to be 520
[15:03] <bjsnider> i haven't done any benchmarking
[15:03] <bjsnider> but all programs open before i get my finger off the left button
[15:03] <FernandoMiguel> per spec SATA 3Gb/s 280 MB/s / 260 MB/s
[15:04] <FernandoMiguel> there's the 240GBs and 480
[15:04] <FernandoMiguel> no 520GBs :O
[15:04] <bjsnider> sata 3 is 6 gb
[15:04] <bjsnider> sata 2 is 3 gb
[15:05] <FernandoMiguel> humm
[15:05] <FernandoMiguel> they keep messing with our head
[15:05] <FernandoMiguel> I know how you feel
[15:05] <FernandoMiguel> I felt the same when I moved from HD to SSD
[15:08] <FernandoMiguel> KINGSTON SNV425S264GB
[15:08] <FernandoMiguel> Firmware Revision: C091126a
[15:08] <FernandoMiguel> I have to look up if there are any upgrades for it
[15:09] <FernandoMiguel> * Gen1 signaling speed (1.5Gb/s)
[15:09] <FernandoMiguel> * Gen2 signaling speed (3.0Gb/s)
[15:09] <FernandoMiguel> Timing buffered disk reads: 572 MB in 3.34 seconds = 171.30 MB/sec
[15:09] <FernandoMiguel> what's your bjsnider
[15:10] <bjsnider> what command did you run?
[15:10] <penguin42> bjsnider: Fastest SATA ssd perhaps
[15:11] <bjsnider> mine is supposedly the fastest right now, although that will change by the time i finish typing this sentence
[15:11] <penguin42> bjsnider: There are some PCIe SSDs that I think are scary fast
[15:12] <bjsnider> FernandoMiguel, what command did you run?
[15:12] <FernandoMiguel> sudo hdparm -aAcdgHiIQtT /dev/sda
[15:13] <penguin42> bjsnider: The PCIe ones are like 8 line PCIe gen 2; claim 3GByte/s
[15:13] <FernandoMiguel> yeah , pcie should be faster
[15:13] <penguin42> although I think you might need a mortgage for them
[15:15] <bjsnider> Timing buffered disk reads: 1158 MB in 3.00 seconds = 385.89 MB/sec
[15:15] <FernandoMiguel> meh
[15:15] <FernandoMiguel> just the double of mine :p
[15:17] <bjsnider> didn't make it boot twice as fast though
[15:17] <penguin42> I doubt your boot is bandwidth limited, once you remove the hard drive seek time
[15:18] <bjsnider> maybe
[15:18] <bjsnider> then it's a linux/ubuntu issue
[15:18] <FernandoMiguel> bjsnider: install bootchart
[15:18] <FernandoMiguel> and ezrat
[15:19] <FernandoMiguel> ez4rat or what ever it's name
[15:19] <FernandoMiguel> gives a kick in the ass of ureadahead

[19:45] <genii-around> I found why nvidia-current was failing to install.. when my kernel was upgraded from 3.4.0-5 to 3.5.0-1 the linux-headers remained at previous version and dkms could not complete. But it would try because the depends of linux-headers-generic seemed to be installed ( albeit not for running kernel )
[19:54] <AlanBell> hi all, can someone boot the daily CD and let me know if you hear the drums at the start of ubiquity please
[19:54] <AlanBell> and for bonus points press ctrl+s to start orca and can you hear it talking?
[19:55] <AlanBell> my testing shows it booting silent which is very bad
[19:55] <AlanBell> but I am not sure if my setup is broken or anything (though I get drums and speech with 12.04)

[20:04] <blackout> i know there are way more important things to do, but is there a way to get crystalhd 0.9.30 v3.10.0 in the repositories?
[20:20] <AlanBell> !info crystalhd
[20:20] <ubottu> Package crystalhd does not exist in precise
[20:22] <bazhang> crystalhd-dkms ?
[20:22] <bazhang> firmware-crystalhd ?
[20:23] <bazhang> !info crystalhd-dkms
[20:23] <ubottu> crystalhd-dkms (source: crystalhd): Crystal HD Video Decoder (Linux kernel driver). In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.0~git20110715.fdd2f19-4.1 (precise), package size 718 kB, installed size 7583 kB (Only available for amd64; i386)
[20:23] <bazhang> blackout augh he quit
[20:24] <trism> AlanBell: no drums here, ctrl+s did nothing, although orca did start once I quit ubiquity after enabling it in System Settings (using unetbootin if that matters)
[20:26] <AlanBell> thanks trism
