[15:59] <rojo> sup guys
[16:03] <rojo> on the ubuntu wiki, the template for adding a laptop, in the System Info section, there's a comment reading, "Put the output of the following commands here."  There are no commands that follow.  What commands give system-manufacturer, system-product-name, and system-version?
[16:08] <rojo> $this->hasFlavr() ? $nom->nom('nom') : $want->doNot()
[16:10] <rojo> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AcerAspire4520 is what I'm working on.  If you notice any other problems with it, let me know.
[16:11] <rojo> I haven't researched bug submissions yet.
[18:51] <rojo> are you guys canonical employees, or just bored geeks?
[21:18] <maro> Hello guys
[21:18] <maro> need some help with sound problems on my laptop
[21:19] <linuxguy6> does the sound card even show up in hardware testing?
[21:19] <maro> I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-134
[21:19] <maro> Yes it does....
[21:19] <maro> In fact I have sound when I plug in my headphones
[21:20] <maro> the problem is that the speakers are not working!
[21:20] <linuxguy6> Ok, try right-clicking the little volume icon and clicking "Volume Control"
[21:21] <maro> ok
[21:21] <linuxguy6> if the PCM volume is all the way down, that could possibly be your problem
[21:21] <maro> it's all the way up!
[21:22] <maro> actualy I have all the controls all the way up
[21:24] <linuxguy6> ok, what programs do you have sound problems with?
[21:24] <maro> it is not a specific program....
[21:25] <maro> it is just that I can get sound on my headphones through the jack in front of the laptop
[21:25] <maro> But the speakers are not working!
[21:25] <maro> The laptop speakers are dead!
[21:25] <maro> odd isn't it?
[21:26] <linuxguy6> yeah, had that happen with my Inspiron
[21:26] <linuxguy6> but it truned out to be the PCM volume control
[21:26] <maro> Unfortunately it is not the case with me!!
[21:27] <linuxguy6> so do you know if the speakers work with Windows or another Linux distro?
[21:27] <maro> it seems that the chanell controling the Laptops Speakers ... something wrong with it!
[21:27] <maro> On the other hand the chanel controling the jack for the headphones is working fine!
[21:28] <linuxguy6> hmm...
[21:28] <maro> They worked with Windows
[21:29] <linuxguy6> do any other sound cards show up in Volume Control when you hit File: Change Device?
[21:29] <maro> I tried Debian but nothing worked at all as far as the sound was cencerned!
[21:29] <maro> concerned...
[21:30] <maro> The trouble is that the laptop belongs to a friend and I was speaking to him so enthousiastic about Ubuntu...
[21:30] <maro> I actualy convinced him to change to Linux...
[21:31] <linuxguy6> congrats
[21:31] <linuxguy6> one (rapidly growing) possibility is that there is not a linux driver for the speakers (but there is one for the headphones
[21:31] <maro> However this problem came up and disturbs him a bit!
[21:32] <maro> The version I have is 8.04 LTS
[21:32] <maro> with all the updates
[21:32] <linuxguy6> yeah, same here
[21:33] <maro> I started with installation of 7.04 and it was the other way around!!!
[21:33] <maro> With the update I have this result!!! :-)
[21:33] <linuxguy6> I wonder if there is a restricted driver for 8.04 LTS
[21:34] <maro> I think it must be a setting or a switch somewhere inside the alsa-base file !!!
[21:34] <linuxguy6> ok, so experimenting with Volume Control...
[21:35] <maro> But I do not dare to touch anything in there unless there is someone who know exactly what I should do!
[21:35] <linuxguy6> Click edit:Preferences and check everything
[21:35] <linuxguy6> then see if the prob is there
[21:36] <maro> You mean to right click on the volume control and go preferences?
[21:37] <linuxguy6> right click on volume control, then go to the "Edit" menu, then click Preferences
[21:38] <maro> Hold it I have to translate that into Greek!!
[21:39] <maro> I'm there
[21:39] <maro> I hve ticked on everything!
[21:39] <linuxguy6> check every single little thing...
[21:40] <maro> I had done it already ......
[21:40] <linuxguy6> i think i sent my message at the same time as yours
[21:41] <linuxguy6> too bad there is no way to prot drivers from one version to the other
[21:41] <maro> I have been doing that before I get on the ubuntu-laptp chanel
[21:42] <maro> Yeah... right!
[21:42] <maro> If I had the combination of the 7.04 and the 8.04 together then the problem would be solved :-)
[21:44] <maro> Anyway ... Thnk you very much for your efforts ...
[21:44] <maro> In case you cross someone who can help I will be in for a while
[21:44] <maro> Otherwise tomorrow is another day!!! :-)))
[21:45] <linuxguy6> your welcome
[21:47] <linuxguy6> you might want to log onto #ubuntu and shout out there...
[21:47] <maro> Thats a very good idea!
[21:47] <maro> I saw that there are many on that chanel!
[21:48] <maro> Thnks linuxguy6 .....
[21:48] <linuxguy6> theres a lot of traffic, and it might take a while, but there's likely to be SOMEONE who can fix it!
[21:48] <maro> May our paths cross again!!!!
[21:48] <maro> Bye for now!
[21:49] <linuxguy6> goodbye!
