dkettmanHello all, having an issue with an ATI SB450 in a Gateway laptop. It uses the snd_hda_intel driver and i get no sound... does anyone have any 'magic bullet' to fix this? :)09:26
ijuz__i have no idea... but when you want to have a chance for a good answer you should tell what kernel you are using etc.09:28
dkettmanSorry :) ..09:29
dkettman2.6.22 for now ..09:29
dkettmanI installed 7.04 and had no sound...09:29
dkettmanI've been scouring forums and wikis for hours (5 or 6 now) trying to find the fix for this, it seems to be a common problem.09:30
dkettmanBut there are those out there who say they have gotten it to work09:30
ijuz__well, i have another chipset (intel stuff), but the snd_hda_intel also does not work with .22 or at least with the ubuntu kernel, so i installed .23-rc3 and it works09:32
dkettmanHmm .. ok ..09:32
dkettmanAnd is there an ubuntu repo I can use? I got .22 from gutsy...09:32
dkettmanOr do I have to d/l it and compile it on my own?09:33
ijuz__it's pretty easy... untar, copy the config from gutsy, make oldconfig...09:33
=== mdke [n=matt@79-72-95-24.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com] has joined #ubuntu-laptop
ijuz__i fear so :)09:33
dkettmanOk ..09:33
ijuz__i can write it down for you when you want09:34
dkettmanWell, I'll start d/ling the kernel now ..09:34
dkettmanYou mean copy the config file out of /boot?09:35
ijuz__yes, just the .22 config to .config in the kernel tree09:35
dkettmanAlright ..09:35
dkettmanCool.. Thanks for the lead, I will let you know how it goes09:36
ijuz__i just wrote it halfway down http://christian-leber.de/VoidWiki/Ubuntu09:40
=== mdke [n=matt@ubuntu/member/mdke] has left #ubuntu-laptop ["goodbye!"]
ijuz__stands surely somewhere else, but searching also takes time ;)09:40
dkettmanThank you very much :)09:43
dkettmancompiling now .. wish me luck :)10:06

ijuz__a core2duo should be finished about now ;)10:39
|muelli|anyone with a x61s in here? :)10:44

ijuz__|muelli|: gutsy or feisty?10:47
|muelli|ijuz__: well. I don't care. I just _try_ to install gutsy, but the installer is not nice to me...10:47
ijuz__you get to busybox?10:48
|muelli|ijuz__:  if I want to...10:48
ijuz__no, what does not work?10:48
|muelli|Right now it fails with "installing the base system", but I actually can't determine whats going wrong.10:48
|muelli|ah.10:49
|muelli|"package cryptsetup is not available, but is referred to by another package"10:49
ijuz__ah, so get another daily...10:50
|muelli|I try to install gutsy in a dm_crypt container10:50
ijuz__ah, ok, never tried that10:51
ijuz__probably you should try a normal install, when it works... it isn't a laptop problem10:51
dkettmanijuz__: Not on a core2 duo :(... Just a Celery M52010:58
ijuz__dkettman: i would expect... 1h15min :)10:59
dkettmanIts close to done, its building the modules now11:01
|muelli|hm. still failing on that crypstsetup issue. Somehow /etc/apt/sources.list gets replaced and then universe is removed. So it can't install it. But I already installed it! Can I make apt think, that this package is already installed so that it does nothing about it?11:02
ijuz__there is a package fake something that can make empty packages to fullfill dependencies11:04
dkettmanDone compiling!11:19
dkettmanQuestion, I am getting errors with find saying it cant find a /lib/firmware/2.6.23-rc3 directory...11:24
dkettmandid I miss something during make?11:24
ijuz__no... let's hope you don't need that stuff ;)11:27
ijuz__you could copy the stuff from the 2.6.22-9 directory to a new 2.6.23-rc3 directory11:27
dkettmanOk .. well I'm going on without it .. modifying the menu.lst now, then the reboot!11:28
dkettmanHere goes nothing! rebooting now11:31
ijuz__?11:33
dkettman:(11:34
dkettmanIt is stuck at Locaing, please wait...11:34
dkettmaner Loading11:34
dkettmanSays it uncompressed ok11:34
ijuz__did you remove the "quiet" in the line?11:34
dkettmanYeah11:35
ijuz__sorry, no idea, should work11:35
dkettmanWould that mean maybe my initrd isnt right?11:36
dkettmanI'm going to try to re-make it11:36
ijuz__probably, but that should work, probably wrong filename? (but grub should have thrown an error)11:37
dkettmanI wonder if it was relying on the firmwares, I copied over the 2.6.22-9 firmwares over11:39

dkettmantrying again11:40
dkettmanstill nothing ..11:41
dkettman*sigh*11:41
NailorDid you download the vanilla kernel?11:42
NailorFrom kernel.org11:42
dkettmanYeah, and then patched to 23-rc311:42
NailorSome patches ubuntu use may cause that kind of behaviour11:42
dkettmanSo what might you suggest to me to resolve this? :)11:43
NailorDunno. :)11:44
dkettmanHmm11:44
dkettmanOk .. figured :) hehe11:44
dkettmanhold on ..11:44
NailorAll I'm saying that ubuntu patches may do something, that leaves some options of kernel unconfigured that should be.. or something11:44
dkettmanOoh .. got something11:44
Nailorat least debian behaved like that back in the days11:44
dkettmanIt cant find the root dist ..11:44
dkettmaner disk11:44
dkettmanI got dropped to busybox11:45
ijuz__imo the kernel is somehow brocken, hm, i thought i just had pressed return all the time :)11:45
dkettmanOk ..11:46
dkettmanso the name of the root disk is wrong .. thats easy to fix .. althought I dont knwo why it didnt work by copying a previous entry .. ?11:46
ijuz__should work...  that config works on my craptop http://debian.christian-leber.de/config-rc311:46
dkettmanI'm going to double-check the root disk is labeled the same on all of them just to be sure11:47
dkettmanI sure hope this is worth it :)11:47
dkettmanOk, same error, maybe different issue though ..11:57
dkettmanHere is the message I get:11:57
dkettmanALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/<UUID NUMBER> does not exist. Dropping to a shell!11:57
ijuz__very odd... you are sure that you copied it correctly? ;)  should work... so either not the ide/sata driver doesn't work correctly or... no idea12:00
dkettmanYeah, found an entry on launchpad .. going to check a couple things out ..12:01
dkettmanI triple-checked the UUID12:01
dkettmanThe only thing that this kernel doesnt have in /boot is an abi-2.6.23-rc3 file12:01
dkettmanbut I couldnt find that in the build tree ..12:01
dkettmanbut I dont knwo if the kernel uses it12:01
ijuz__i also don't have one12:02
dkettmanok ..so that isnt important12:03
