[02:19] <keb> yeah i must have installed the dev libs for oss first
[02:20] <Pumpernickel> The -dev libs are used for development.  That's about it.
[02:20] <keb> yep
[02:21] <Pumpernickel> More likely, you changed some configuration option.
[02:21] <keb> i was compiling mplayer and it said ALSA support was not there

[05:44] <Jamesinator> Why bother having an "Edit Menu" button if it isn't even usable. I just spent the last half hour looking through .desktop files and googling fixes but nothing has worked. Why should XFCE force me to manually find and edit these if it knows where they are already as it's building the menu from them?
[05:45] <gladier> hi guys, have an issue with ndiswrapper and a usb stick - ndiswrapper recognizes the device - but when i goto do an iwconfig/ifconfig the terminal freezes
[05:46] <Pumpernickel> Does it completely freeze, or is it just waiting for output from ifconfig that never arrives?
[05:47] <gladier> waits for an output that never arrives - ive checked the syslog and the kernel hasnt crashed
[05:48] <Pumpernickel> What device is it?  (Brand, model, etc.)
[05:51] <gladier> its a rebadged broadbom device - same chip as the really common linksys adaptor. this one is an asus wl-169gE
[05:54] <Pumpernickel> hm
[05:55] <gladier> i thought it was interesting
[05:55] <gladier> i have had it set up before - i just cant figure out why it isnt now
[05:57] <gladier> if i use any different drivers the kernel does crash
[06:01] <Pumpernickel> The ndiswrapper site has some very specific instructions for it, but that's about all I can find.

[06:56] <cellofellow> I have an AGP TNT2 and this thing I just put in. I'm trying Xinerama.
[06:56] <gladier> so you currently have one or two video cards in the machine
[06:57] <cellofellow> two
[06:58] <cellofellow> It did the same thing with the VGA driver. (WW) VGA: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:13:0) found

[07:35] <gladier> locate is faster imho - but requires updating every few days
[07:36] <Jester45> yea.... find is quick
[07:37] <Jester45> acourse knowing where you put your files is better
[07:37] <gladier> either way were off track and playing symantecs
[07:38] <gladier> can you put multiple configurations in your /etc/network/interfaces file??

[09:30] <maxamillion> yeah, its possible there is just an issue with the card and linux ... maybe when it tries to start drawing buffers or blitting images to the screen, the card does weird things
[09:30] <cellofellow> I was just testing stuff, and it only reacts like this to the mouse, and some random unseen event.
[09:31] <cellofellow> now and again

[03:40] <czarny> 1. I can't seem to be able to pass ide=nodma @ boot and my dvd drive will have like 10 probes of dma before it gives up
[03:40] <czarny> 2. automounter screws the job and mounts devices before installer does which poses problem later on
[03:41] <czarny> 3. xfs is as much unsupported as possible -- I can make a xfs partition, but I'll ge warned like 2-3 times it's bad for me and later on grub install wil fail
[03:41] <czarny> 4. when trying to make an xfs partiion in the naprtitioning tool I can't choose from the dropdown box any location to mount (like /, /boot, /home in case of ext3 in example)

[08:36] <cellofellow> How do I set up a game controller that's plugged into the onboard game port?
[08:36] <TheSheep> cellofellow: 'set up'?
[08:37] <TheSheep> it's not a trap, you know...
[08:37] <vidd_laptop> lol
[08:37] <TheSheep> cellofellow: what would you like to do with it?
[08:37] <cellofellow> TheSheep: well, I don't know what device it's supposed to be.
[08:38] <cellofellow> Just use it.
[08:38] <TheSheep> cellofellow: good question, I'd look into /dev/input

[08:43] <ubotu> Trouble playing MIDI files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo
[08:44] <vidd_laptop> =\
[08:44] <cellofellow> It's not a MIDI gameport.
[08:45] <vidd_laptop> what kind of gameport is it?
[08:45] <cellofellow> well, are all gameports MIDI?
=== Catoptromancy [n=Miranda@fl-71-1-235-150.dhcp.embarqhsd.net]  has joined #xubuntu
=== vidd_laptop didnt know there WERE other gameports
[08:46] <cellofellow> It doesn't show as  a MIDI controller in ALSA though.
[08:47] <vidd_laptop> joystick or controlpad?
[08:47] <cellofellow> joystick
[08:48] <vidd_laptop> http://linux.die.net/man/3/joystick_init
[08:48] <cellofellow> now, the port is right next to the PCM audio ports.
[08:50] <cellofellow> that's about a C and SVGAlib library.
[08:53] <vidd_laptop> cellofellow, this might help: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Joystick_Setup
[08:54] <cellofellow> I need a game that uses one.
[08:54] <cellofellow> A flight simulator would be nice.
[08:56] <cellofellow> one with low 3D Accel. requirements.
[08:57] <cellofellow> Most of them I've tried have been too powerful.

[09:06] <vidd_laptop> HELLO
[09:06] <vidd_laptop> dang caplocks
=== BFTD shoots the caps lock key
[09:08] <vidd_laptop> gee....looks like the caps lock shot back =] 
[09:08] <gerro> shot his poor compy again :/
[09:08] <gerro> speaking of shooting things might sound like I'm shooting myself in foot by doing this but
[09:09] <gerro> know how to completely erase a hard drive including grub and mbr etc?
[09:09] <gerro> I got some distro goob on my pc that need wiping :(
[09:10] <cellofellow> gerro: try dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/hda
[09:10] <vidd_laptop> if you are doing a clean install.....gparted should do it all for you
[09:10] <cellofellow> you may have to set some sort of repeat so it wipes the whole disk.
[09:10] <gerro> thanks cellofellow
[09:10] <gerro> what you mean by that?
[09:11] <cellofellow> well, /dev/null is only so big. actually, use /dev/zero
[09:11] <cellofellow> you can set something in dd that makes /dev/zero look bigger.
[09:11] <gerro> so dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda
[09:11] <cellofellow> or smaller.
[09:11] <gerro> umm?
[09:11] <cellofellow> yeah, try it from livecd and see what it does.
[09:11] <gerro> okay thanks
[09:12] <cellofellow> it will at least erase the partition table and part of the MBR.
[09:12] <gerro> part?
[09:13] <gerro> thx a lot, I was confused kept getting grub error 17
[09:14] <vidd_laptop> cellofellow, did you look at that link to gentoo? and did it help you any?
[09:14] <cellofellow> I'm still working on it, but it looks like it'll work
[09:14] <vidd_laptop> ok
[09:14] <cellofellow> what's the opposite of modprobe? I need to start over and remove a module.
[09:15] <gerro> rmmod or modprobe -r

[09:22] <Chadarius> yeah for xubuntu.org
[09:22] <anderodriguex> i can't mount an audio cd :S
[09:22] <anderodriguex> can you help me?
[09:22] <TheSheep> Chadarius: great
[09:22] <gerro> Chadarius: is drupal a xubuntu version?
[09:23] <gerro> anderodriguex: it should appear on your desktop then you just click it, are you having trouble with a specific application?
[09:23] <Chadarius> gerro: not sure what you mean exactly... is there a drupal package? Yeah there is one in the repos
[09:23] <TheSheep> Chadarius: you can get the thing I checked out from the ubuntu repos and recolored at http://atos.wmid.amu.edu.pl/~sheep/website2007.tar.gz
[09:23] <Chadarius> TheSheep: Yep... Jim sent me an email with all the details

[09:24] <Chadarius> TheSheep: I just wanted to ping you before I ssh'd in or anthing to let you know I was going to start messing around tonight
[09:24] <gerro> ohhh its an audio cd...
[09:24] <anderodriguex> TheSheep: so, i can't play it
[09:24] <TheSheep> Chadarius: ah, gread, the host is vidd's though :)
[09:24] <gerro> anderodriguex: use a media player to play it
[09:24] <TheSheep> anderodriguex: you can play it with an audio player
[09:24] <anderodriguex> gerro: no, don't plays because an mounting error
[09:24] <TheSheep> anderodriguex: they have a separate option to play a cd, you don't mount it for playing
[09:24] <Chadarius> TheSheep: OK... are you also going to work on it, or are you just supplying the graphics?
[09:25] <anderodriguex> ok, so how can i reproduce an audio cd?
[09:25] <gerro> Chadarius: it has graphics too?
[09:25] <Chadarius> anderodriguex: cdrecord would work
[09:25] <gerro> I would just use k3b
[09:25] <TheSheep> Chadarius: this is something I started doing for feisty, but never had time to finish -- I'm even shorter on time now, but I will gladly answer any questions and help with anything hard
[09:26] <cellofellow> vidd_laptop: those gentoo instructions aren't working.
[09:26] <anderodriguex> Chadarius: sudo apt-get install cdrecord?
[09:26] <gerro> anderodriguex: or open synaptic and search for it :)
[09:26] <Chadarius> anderodriguex: if it isn't already there yeah
[09:26] <TheSheep> anderodriguex: k3b is for recording cds
[09:26] <Chadarius> anderodriguex: I've never had to install cdrecord directly
[09:27] <TheSheep> anderodriguex: same with cdrecord
[09:27] <Chadarius> crap its not cdrecord
[09:27] <TheSheep> anderodriguex: I use audacious for playing cds, but you can use mostly anything
[09:28] <TheSheep> anderodriguex: xmms, bmp and audacious look like winamp and can even use its skins
[09:28] <cellofellow> audacious > bmp > xmms
[09:29] <TheSheep> cellofellow: if you're comparing age...
[09:29] <cellofellow> yes
[09:29] <cellofellow> But I like Audacious the best.
[09:29] <TheSheep> cellofellow: only reverse the signs
[09:30] <Chadarius> anderodriguex: Its cdparanoia that is the command line ripper
[09:30] <TheSheep> Chadarius: but he only wants to *play* it :)
[09:30] <cellofellow> use abcde to rip and encode and tag in one command.
