<yarddog_> tritium you here?

<tritium> hi yarddog_

<tritium> I'm here now.

<tritium> What's up?

<yarddog_> hi, i know you have been hearing this, do you know an approximate time here that edgy will be released? :P

<tritium> Other than sometime tomorrow, no, I haven't really herad.

<tritium> heard even

<yarddog_> i destroyed my install, and im installing using dapper and updating, i thought if it was releasing tonight our time, i would wait, otherwise ill proceed.

<tritium> Let me see what I can find out.

<yarddog_> okay

<tritium> No idea, yarddog_

<tritium> You could always start from the RC, and update it.

<yarddog_> heh

<tritium> There have been very few updates since the RC came out.

<kaiyilen> what is RC?

<yarddog_> well, its already about 96% now

<tritium> What? Dapper download?

<yarddog_> upgrade

<tritium> Some are saying 12:00 UTC, I just noticed

<yarddog_> hrmm

<yarddog_> that was 5pm here

<yarddog_> or 6 rather

<tritium> hmm

<yarddog_> i think we are UTC -6 here

<yarddog_> or -7, i cant keep track :P

<yarddog_> kaiyilen, RC is the release candidate for edgy, it is the last release before the final official release.

<tritium> Sorry, kaiyilen. I didn't see your question there.

<yarddog_> ubuntu edgy eft (6.10) is the new version to be released on the 26th depending on what time zone you (we) are in.

<yarddog_> im still running edgy on this laptop, lot of updates today though.

<yarddog_> when i came home tonight that is.

<tritium> Not _that_ many

<yarddog_> heh

<yarddog_> seemed like it

<yarddog_> no more kernel stuff, that is nice

<yarddog_> but before, i had dapper on the desktop, updated to edgy, lot of stuff did not work after the update, so i made a boo boo and had to reinstall _again_

<kaiyilen> its okay

<tritium> :)

<yarddog_> i should mention that the laptop is running xubuntu

<tritium> ah

<yarddog_> runs good too

* yarddog_ crosses his fingers

<yarddog_> :)

<tritium> :)

<yarddog_> <specialbuddy> edgy is being released?

<yarddog_> <dabaR> 5 mins.

<yarddog_> lol

<tritium> saw that

<yarddog_> kinda funny watching the anticipation

<tritium> yeah

<yarddog_> well they're doing a better job than fedora does :P

<tritium> aye

<tritium> How goes it, yarddog_ ?

<yarddog_> tritium, grub keeps wanting to boot to the 386 kernel instead of installed generic, how can i make grub keep the generic kernel the default kernel? ive tried editing grub and putting the 386 second, but when grub updates, it goes back to the 386 as default.

<tritium> don't try to edit the automagic section of menu.lst

<tritium> Instead, change the default setting near the top

<yarddog_> ok

<yarddog_> default is 0

<tritium> right, which is the first in the automagic list

<yarddog_> ok, since i changed the listing to the generic first, if i run grub update, will it keep the generic first?

<tritium> how did you change the listing? Did you change it from 0 to 1 or whatever?

<yarddog_> i did a copy/paste of the 386, deleted it, then pasted it below the generic to make it number 2

<yarddog_> then rebooted

<tritium> You shouldn't touch the automagic section

<tritium> I'd only change the number of the default

<yarddog_> yeah, i did update-grub and it reversed it

<tritium> right

<tritium> that's why you don't edit the automagic section

<yarddog_> ok, i set default to 1, ill reboot and see

<tritium> okay

<yarddog_> i guess it should be set to 2

<yarddog_> it went to the recovery kernel

<tritium> right, just count down to the one you want

<yarddog_> good

<yarddog_> now i need to set up fglrx

<tritium> I don't use fglrx on my laptop. Just ati

<yarddog_> i do for the DR and dual head

<tritium> I use dual head with ati just fine :)

<yarddog_> fglrx is not working

<kaiyilen> :(

<tritium> if you want to try dual head on ati, "man radeon", and check the details

<yarddog_> it works now

<tritium> good

<yarddog_> need to disable composite in edgy

<yarddog_> seveas repos are nice too

<yarddog_> do you use automatix?

<tritium> Heck no.

<tritium> That can wreak havoc on your system.

<yarddog_> just ubuntu repos?

<tritium> You could try easyubuntu, but I just install things I need from the repos.

<yarddog_> java and adobe reader?

<tritium> yes

<yarddog_> what is the adobe, acroread?

<yarddog_> and java?

<tritium> sun-java5-jre, and acroread

<yarddog_> thanks

<tritium> apt-cache search <search term> is handy for finding packages

<yarddog_> yeah, i think some ppl tend to forget about multiverse, i did.

<tritium> could be

<yarddog_> that doesnt normally come with a default setup

<tritium> right

<tritium> you might also watn sun-java5-plugin

<tritium> s/watn/want

<yarddog_> ahh ok

<yarddog_> i got the flash 9 beta from seveas repos

<tritium> cool

<yarddog_> do you know what the command for real player is?

<yarddog_> to install it that tis

<yarddog_> i tried sudo apt-get install realplayer

<yarddog_> no installation candidate

<tritium> looking..

<tritium> hmm, I can't find it here on edgy, but I know it's on my dapper laptop at work

<yarddog_> maybe a week or so

<tritium> I wonder where I got it. I thought it was multiverse

<tritium> Oh yeah, they're in the commercial repo

<yarddog_> ahh

<tritium> deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu dapper-commercial main

<yarddog_> yeah, edgy-commercial is not found

<yarddog_> guess it would help if i could spell :P

<yarddog_> hrm, still no installation candidate

<tritium> I thought you were installing dapper

<yarddog_> edgy

<yarddog_> i installed dapper then upgraded

<tritium> Oh, I see.

<yarddog_> its all edgy now

<yarddog_> :P

<tritium> right on!

<yarddog_> im off to bed, but to note, realplayer is not in the update manager nor synaptic now either. ttyl, have a good night :)

<tritium> Hmm, okay.

<tritium> Maybe the edgy commercial repo isn't setup yet.

<tritium> Have a good night.

<ameoba> when I was managing a lab of Debian systems I decided that it was easy enough to just install that handful of binary-only, non-apt-get-able things by hand

<ameoba> a lot better than putting questionable repositories into the system

<ameoba> I'm not really an APT guru but, what if the realplayer repo gets compromised?

<ameoba> probably a lot more likely than the main repo getting pwnd

<yarddog> bah, what a mess

*** yarddog sets mode: -o yarddog

<tritium> Morning

<kaiyilen> wha..?

<ameoba> so... any real reason to upgrade to 6.10?

<ameoba> not really running a desktop, so the GNOME/Firefox upgrades aren't too exciting
