mwalshso big problems on the ubuntu front lol03:14
mwalshyessir03:14

mnoiryou know what a bathtub curve is?03:15
mwalshno.03:15
mnoira statistical thingie that says in this case03:15
mnoirthat the very old and the very new hardware03:16
mnoirare more prone to problems than the medium :)03:16
kiamolol03:16
kiamohow did it get its name...03:16
mnoirlooks loke the cross section of an old fashioned bathtub03:16
mnoiractually plots hardware failures03:17
mwalshi dont think this is a hardware based problem yet03:17
=== kiamo shrugs and says "fair enough"
mnoirmwalsh: the reason i mention it is cuz you mentioned HAL problems03:17
mwalshmhm03:17
mwalshwhich stands for03:17
mwalshthat wasnt the only problem im having though03:17
mnoirbut we hold that point until evidence shows :)03:17
mnoirok - maybe i should let you list like the 5 big problems, i will not comment yet :)03:18
mwalshok03:18
mwalsh1. Failed to initialize HAL On startup03:18
mwalsh2. WHen I try to play movies it says TOtem could not start up cannot open resource for writing03:19
mwalsh3. MY external hard drive only shows up when i do the ctrl. alt. backspace thing03:19
mwalsh4. My other internal hard drive wont show up at all03:19
mwalsh5. NOt all needed resolutions are listed and teh sound card isnt recognized.03:19
mnoir6.06 or 6.10 ?03:20

mnoireternalswd: ref to which #?03:22
eternalswd1.03:22
mnoirok - can i investigate 4 first?03:22
mwalshsure03:22
eternalswdno problem.  might want to check and see if dbus-daemon is runnning on his computer though, just a thought03:22
mnoirfor 4 what kind of filesystem(s), what have you done to try to see them?03:22
mwalshaah why cant i scroll up?03:22
mwalshok03:23
mnoireternalswd: i was thinking - could this affect the other problems?03:23
eternalswdpossibly03:23
mwalshuh the hard drive is ntfs03:23
mnoirok - short time on 4 then you get to lead on 1 :)03:23
mnoirok?03:23
=== mnoir is a critical outage manager in a previous lifetime :)
eternalswdyep03:24
kiamomnoir, please can you help me after :D03:24
mnoirok - mwalsh - what have you done to try to see your ntfs drive?03:24
mwalshi cried03:25
mnoirdid you see it during install?03:25
mwalshyes03:25
mnoiruncle bill doesn't care if you cried :)03:25
mwalshyeah03:25
mnoirnice thing about this channel - we can flood a little :)03:25
mnoirplease cat out your /etc/fstab and paste the line that says ntfs in it03:26
eternalswdhmm, might want to check df to make sure it's not mounted.  could be the gui just isn't aware03:26
mnoirpaste here i mean03:26
mnoircould be - in a term03:26
mnoirtype df03:26
mnoirmwalsh: i mean you - in a terminal type df and return03:26
mwalshok03:26
mwalshhaha03:26
mwalshnow wat03:27
mnoirwhat came back at you?03:27
mwalsha bunch of listtings03:27
eternalswdmight want df -t ntfs?03:27
mwalshmy internal hd isnt there03:27
mwalshit only has sda1 and sdc1, my external03:27
mwalshnot sdb03:27
mnoiroh - I see03:28
mwalshmhm03:28
mnoireternalswd: good call - is sdb supposed to be the ntfs?03:28
mwalshit is03:28
eternalswdlet me check, I've got one03:28
mnoirnot there at all - it is a usb external?03:28
mwalshok sdc is the usb external, and that shows up... my sdb is my internal ntfs and it doesnt show up03:29
mnoiroh - I see - so ext is showing up?03:29
mwalshyes03:29
mnoirso we need to check why the ntfs is not showing up - first the config03:30
mwalshthe ntfs external is showing up03:30
=== xeruno [n=xeruno@cable200-116-28-77.epm.net.co] has joined #ubuntu-classroom
mnoirpaste the line that references it03:30
mwalsh/dev/sdc103:30
mnoirwhole line - i need the other end :)03:31
mwalsh/dev/sdc1             78148160  13427600  64720560  18% /media/Ext. H03:31
eternalswdhmm, I just noticed that my ntfs partition isn't mounted.  probably the same problem.  I never noticed since it's just a small partition for windows03:31
eternalswdthis may be a larger problem, goes off to google.03:32
mnoireww- that Ext. H looks ugly03:32
mwalshy03:32
mnoireternalswd: come back soon - you're valuable :)03:32
mnoirmwalsh: cd /media please03:32
mwalshok03:32
mnoirso that is the external which is showing up, not the problem drive03:33
mwalshyes..03:33
mnoirok - have you looked at files there - you happy with that one03:33
mnoirwe are slightly distracted but it is all good learning :)03:33
mwalshkind of03:34
mnoirmeaning??03:34
mwalshwell the video files on there wont open03:34
mwalshbut thats a differenr problem.03:34
mnoirdifferent problem - i agree - add to the list :)03:34
mnoirok - back to the bad one03:34
mwalshit was on the list03:34
mnoirok - :)03:35
mnoirlets go back to 4.03:35
mwalshmhm03:35
eternalswdokay, I didn't have any problems manually mounting the ntfs drive.  should be able to at least test whether that works03:35
mnoireternalswd: we are about to check to see what to mount.03:35
eternalswdok03:36
mnoirmwalsh: please type cat /etc/fstab03:36
mwalshok03:36
eternalswdcat /etc/fstab | grep ntfs        might help03:36
mnoireternalswd: i never can get the perms stuff right on other ppl's systems and never have the problem myself so stand by !03:36
mnoirok - file aint that long - if it is on the screen, paste the line with ntfs in it03:37
mwalshi did03:37
mwalshnothing happened03:37
mnoirdid what?03:37
mwalshi pasted that line03:37
mwalshwith the ntfs03:37
mnoirfrom the fstab?03:38
mwalshcat /etc/fstab | grep ntfs03:38
eternalswdokay, that would be a problem.  this is a second drive right, not a second partition?03:38
mnoirno output - that means the install did not add it03:38
mwalshcorrect03:38
mwalshits a second drive03:38
eternalswdls /dev | grep sdb03:38
eternalswdto see if it's detected at least03:39
=== mnoir shuts up since he never seems to have this problem...
mwalshit says sdb and sdb103:39
mnoirso sdb1 is a partition03:40
eternalswdgood, it's detected. let's first manually mount it, then we'll add a line to your fstab so it "should" mount on boot03:40
eternalswdyes03:40
mwalshwell its like an 8mb partitions03:40
eternalswdsdb is the drive and 1 is the partition03:40
mwalshpartition*03:40
mwalshyes03:40
mwalshyeah03:40
mwalshi guess03:40
mwalshso how do i mount this sucka03:41
mnoiron the win side it only has one drive letter?03:41
mwalshyes!03:41
eternalswdfirst decide on where you want to mount it to03:41
mwalshwat?03:41
mnoirmay i make a suggestion?03:41
eternalswdyou could choose a directory like /media/windows03:41
mnoiryou need to mount it in a place that sounds meaningful to you03:42
mwalshok03:42
eternalswdexactly03:42
mwalsh/media/storage03:42
mnoirwhat is on it?03:42
mwalshthats wut i want03:42

mnoirand it came right back?03:44
mwalshit created it03:44
mnoirgood03:44
mnoirhave you heard the term mount point?03:44
eternalswdsudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/storage/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=022203:44
mwalshyes ive heard of mount points03:45
mwalshdo i put that in terminal eternal?03:45
eternalswdyeah, all of it on one line03:45
mnoireternalswd: why the slash after storage?03:45
mwalshaaah im confused03:45
eternalswdnot necessary03:45
mnoiroh - I see03:45
mnoirmwalsh: ask b4 typing then03:46
mwalsht just spat a whole bunch of crap at me03:46
eternalswdwas just force of habit of typing paths in the terminal all day long ;)03:46

mwalshwell i think its becaue all that stuff wasnt on one line03:46
mnoirmust be! - do again03:47
eternalswdahh, that'll be problematic03:47
mwalshwell03:47
mwalshit doesnt fit03:47
mnoirimpossible - the line goes on forever - do not worry about it wrapping03:47
eternalswdwell, as long as you didn't hit enter, it's on one line, it's just been wrapped03:47
mwalshok03:47
mwalshok its good03:47
mwalshnoting happend03:47
mnoiryou can also make the terminal wider if you like :)03:48
eternalswdwhat was spewed out?03:48
mnoircame back to prompt?03:48
mwalshyeah03:48
mnoirprobably worked - unix is quiet like that :)03:49
mwalshyeah03:49
mwalshit did03:49
mnoircd to /media/storage03:49
mwalshi test this stuff by just pasting it again and if it says its alredy happening i assuem03:49

mwalshumm i still cant navigate to it yet03:51
mnoir:)03:51
mnoirmwalsh: what do you mean - in a gui?03:51
mwalshyes03:51
eternalswdokay, first let's edit your fstab, then we'll move onto 1. that may fix it03:51
mnoirnautilus should be able to get there...03:52
mwalshum.03:52

mwalshsweet103:55
mwalshhow do i get it to appear tho03:55
eternalswdall in due time03:55
eternalswdfirst let's edit your fstab so that it mounts at boot03:55
mwalshok03:55
mwalshuh can we do this with the external also03:56
mwalshyou stil here brother03:57
eternalswdyes.  should work as long as you keep it plugged into the same slot03:57
mwalshok03:57
mwalshso hwo03:57
eternalswdwhat filesystem for the usb drive?03:57
mwalshntfs03:57
eternalswdokay.  you'll need to create another dir where you want to mount it to03:57
mwalshalright03:58
eternalswdor as I recall, it's using /media/Ext. H03:58
eternalswdcurrently03:58
mwalshi believe so03:58
eternalswdwell, you can leave it there, but one without spaces is preferable, something like /media/external03:59
mwalshok03:59
mwalshso how do i do that03:59
eternalswdsudo mkdir /media/external03:59
mwalshok04:00
mwalshand how do i apply my hd to that04:00
eternalswdyou can leave it where it is for now, it will change when you reboot04:00
mwalshhow will it magically know wat hd to put in there04:00
eternalswdthat's what the fstab file takes care of04:01
mwalshright04:01
mwalshnice transitionl ol04:01
eternalswdfirst though, you said "df -t ntfs" didn't yield anything?04:02
eternalswdtry it again04:02
mwalshit yields my hd now04:02
eternalswdbut only that one, not the usb?04:03
mwalshno it gets hte usb one too04:03
eternalswdoh, okay, good04:03
eternalswdonto fstab04:03
mwalshright.04:03
eternalswdfirst, we'll make a backup of your current one.  when editting system files backups are a must even when you think you know what you're doing04:04
eternalswdsudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_backup04:04
mwalshhm oddly enough even while using windows ive never used one lol04:04
mwalshbut i made it04:05
eternalswdthis will copy fstab to fstab_backup04:05
mwalshok04:05
eternalswdthen we'll edit your fstab.04:05
mwalshok04:05
eternalswdgksu gedit /etc/fstab04:05
mwalshok04:06
eternalswddo ctrl+f and see if you can find a line for your usb drive04:06
eternalswdyou would search for sdc04:06
mwalshnah04:07
eternalswdokay, we'll add two lines then, one for each drive.04:07
mwalshok04:07
eternalswdcreate a new line at the end of the file04:07
mwalshok04:08
eternalswdand paste the following line04:08
eternalswd/dev/sdb1    /media/storage ntfs  nls=utf8,umask=0222 0    004:08

mwalshevery time i try to play a sounjd or video file it says totem could not start up could not open resource for writing05:37
kiamoat some points in my struggles dvds would play in totem with out menus or subs but NOT if i tried to open the dvd via the menu, only as an auto run thing...05:37
eternalswdkiamo, try using mplayer on the file.  using the terminal "mplayer -vo x11" instead of just mplayer05:37
eternalswdmwalsh, yeah, you won't be able to play videos in totem without the sound set up05:37
eternalswdmwalsh, you can use mplayer which has a -nosound option05:37
mwalshoh so totem just disables its ability to play05:37
eternalswdit's trying to open the sound device for writing to05:37
eternalswdspecifically /dev/dsp or something similar05:37
mwalshoh ok05:37
mwalshso if i enable my mobo sound wuold it work05:37
eternalswdI would think so.05:37
mwalshok05:37
eternalswdyou might not get that hal error either, i'm not sure05:37
kiamook mplayers playing the dvd but the aspec is all wrong...05:37
kiamomplayer does complain however about subfont.ttf not being there05:37
kiamohmm it also doesnt fullscreen properly05:37

eternalswdkiamo, yeah, what version of ubuntu do you have?05:37

kiamoat least im certain what the problem is now06:09
kiamo:)06:10
kiamoyou mind still helping with other stuff?06:10
eternalswdoh wait, there's one more thing I thought of06:10
kiamooo oo :D06:10
eternalswdtwo things actually.  first, "sudo apt-get install libxv1" see if that's installed06:12
kiamonope06:13

kiamooh wait06:13

eternalswdpaste your results06:14
kiamo        Option      "VideoOverlay" "on"06:14
eternalswdokay, now, "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep OpenGLOverlay"06:15
kiamo        Option      "OpenGLOverlay" "off"06:15
eternalswdwell, now I've really exhausted my resources.  there is one thing you can try though.  you can try turning off the VideoOverlay and turning on OpenGLOverlay.  then when running mplayer, use -vo gl06:17
kiamoi dont need to restart x do i?06:19
eternalswdthat should be better than x11, though worse than xv06:19
eternalswdyeah, you'll need to restart X after editing your xorg.conf file06:19

kiamowhere can i copy fonts from?06:34
kiamoand sorry what was the mplayer cmd again?06:34

eternalswdthe -vo gl can be set in you mplayer config file ~/.mplayer/config as the line vo=gl06:35

kiamono..06:43
kiamodidnt say to do son on the guid06:43
kiamojust enablegui06:43
eternalswdwell the subfont.ttf is only the default font for subtitles.  menu should work in the gui.  so you might want to try recompiling with --enable-menu.  it's possible it wasn't necessary before but is now or something06:45
kiamohmm06:45
kiamocan i just compile and make make install over the top?06:46
