[09:26] <dkettman> Hello 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? :)
[09:28] <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.
[09:29] <dkettman> Sorry :) ..
[09:29] <dkettman> 2.6.22 for now ..
[09:29] <dkettman> I installed 7.04 and had no sound...
[09:30] <dkettman> I'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] <dkettman> But there are those out there who say they have gotten it to work
[09:32] <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 works
[09:32] <dkettman> Hmm .. ok ..
[09:32] <dkettman> And is there an ubuntu repo I can use? I got .22 from gutsy...
[09:33] <dkettman> Or 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] <ijuz__> i fear so :)
[09:33] <dkettman> Ok ..
[09:34] <ijuz__> i can write it down for you when you want
[09:34] <dkettman> Well, I'll start d/ling the kernel now ..
[09:35] <dkettman> You mean copy the config file out of /boot?
[09:35] <ijuz__> yes, just the .22 config to .config in the kernel tree
[09:35] <dkettman> Alright ..
[09:36] <dkettman> Cool.. Thanks for the lead, I will let you know how it goes
[09:40] <ijuz__> i just wrote it halfway down http://christian-leber.de/VoidWiki/Ubuntu
[09:40] <ijuz__> stands surely somewhere else, but searching also takes time ;)
[09:43] <dkettman> Thank you very much :)
[10:06] <dkettman> compiling now .. wish me luck :)
[10:39] <ijuz__> a core2duo should be finished about now ;)
[10:44] <|muelli|> anyone with a x61s in here? :)
[10:47] <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...
[10:48] <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.
[10:49] <|muelli|> ah.
[10:49] <|muelli|> "package cryptsetup is not available, but is referred to by another package"
[10:50] <ijuz__> ah, so get another daily...
[10:50] <|muelli|> I try to install gutsy in a dm_crypt container
[10:51] <ijuz__> ah, ok, never tried that
[10:51] <ijuz__> probably you should try a normal install, when it works... it isn't a laptop problem
[10:58] <dkettman> ijuz__: Not on a core2 duo :(... Just a Celery M520
[10:59] <ijuz__> dkettman: i would expect... 1h15min :)
[11:01] <dkettman> Its close to done, its building the modules now
[11:02] <|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?
[11:04] <ijuz__> there is a package fake something that can make empty packages to fullfill dependencies
[11:19] <dkettman> Done compiling!
[11:24] <dkettman> Question, I am getting errors with find saying it cant find a /lib/firmware/2.6.23-rc3 directory...
[11:24] <dkettman> did I miss something during make?
[11:27] <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 directory
[11:28] <dkettman> Ok .. well I'm going on without it .. modifying the menu.lst now, then the reboot!
[11:31] <dkettman> Here goes nothing! rebooting now
[11:33] <ijuz__> ?
[11:34] <dkettman> :(
[11:34] <dkettman> It is stuck at Locaing, please wait...
[11:34] <dkettman> er Loading
[11:34] <dkettman> Says it uncompressed ok
[11:34] <ijuz__> did you remove the "quiet" in the line?
[11:35] <dkettman> Yeah
[11:35] <ijuz__> sorry, no idea, should work
[11:36] <dkettman> Would that mean maybe my initrd isnt right?
[11:36] <dkettman> I'm going to try to re-make it
[11:37] <ijuz__> probably, but that should work, probably wrong filename? (but grub should have thrown an error)
[11:39] <dkettman> I wonder if it was relying on the firmwares, I copied over the 2.6.22-9 firmwares over
[11:40] <dkettman> trying again
[11:41] <dkettman> still nothing ..
[11:41] <dkettman> *sigh*
[11:42] <Nailor> Did you download the vanilla kernel?
[11:42] <Nailor> From kernel.org
[11:42] <dkettman> Yeah, and then patched to 23-rc3
[11:42] <Nailor> Some patches ubuntu use may cause that kind of behaviour
[11:43] <dkettman> So what might you suggest to me to resolve this? :)
[11:44] <Nailor> Dunno. :)
[11:44] <dkettman> Hmm
[11:44] <dkettman> Ok .. figured :) hehe
[11:44] <dkettman> hold on ..
[11:44] <Nailor> All I'm saying that ubuntu patches may do something, that leaves some options of kernel unconfigured that should be.. or something
[11:44] <dkettman> Ooh .. got something
[11:44] <Nailor> at least debian behaved like that back in the days
[11:44] <dkettman> It cant find the root dist ..
[11:44] <dkettman> er disk
[11:45] <dkettman> I got dropped to busybox
[11:45] <ijuz__> imo the kernel is somehow brocken, hm, i thought i just had pressed return all the time :)
[11:46] <dkettman> Ok ..
[11:46] <dkettman> so 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-rc3
[11:47] <dkettman> I'm going to double-check the root disk is labeled the same on all of them just to be sure
[11:47] <dkettman> I sure hope this is worth it :)
[11:57] <dkettman> Ok, same error, maybe different issue though ..
[11:57] <dkettman> Here is the message I get:
[11:57] <dkettman> ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/<UUID NUMBER> does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
[12:00] <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 idea
[12:01] <dkettman> Yeah, found an entry on launchpad .. going to check a couple things out ..
[12:01] <dkettman> I triple-checked the UUID
[12:01] <dkettman> The only thing that this kernel doesnt have in /boot is an abi-2.6.23-rc3 file
[12:01] <dkettman> but I couldnt find that in the build tree ..
[12:01] <dkettman> but I dont knwo if the kernel uses it
[12:02] <ijuz__> i also don't have one
[12:03] <dkettman> ok ..so that isnt important
