[00:36] how do I reinstall alsa from scratch ? [00:39] !alsa [00:39] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:40] hello? [00:41] cool I guess I have to reinstall kubuntu just to get alsa to work, wonderful [00:41] anom01y: not necesarily [00:41] anom01y: what's the problem? [00:42] well its been wrekced for 2-3 weeks noone knows how to help me [00:42] anom01y: whats wrong? [00:42] I origionally set it up having 2 cards in the computer [00:42] (set up = install kubuntu) [00:42] since then I have removed a card, and now I am trying to use the onboard [00:43] it works sometimes, and some other's it half ass works, now its not working at all [00:43] and I havent done anything to cause this except reboot the computer [00:44] but if I reset it might work, although it might half ass work too, as kmix sometimes only shows half of the available volume control knobs, and the maximum volume is not very high [00:44] anom01y: have you tried blacklisting the one you removed? [00:44] I dont know, I tried alsaconf, and that didnt work [00:45] how do I blacklist the other card ? [00:45] anom01y: offhand, I don't know... give me a minute [00:47] wow alsa magically started to work ??????? [00:47] anom0ly: what does the command " sudo asoundconf list " report? [00:47] I just ran alsaconf again and for some reason it worked ? [00:48] anom01y: lets make sure you have the right sound card set as default [00:48] ign0ramus: awesome... *you* help him :-) [00:48] VT82xx is the only card reported [00:48] my sound card problems took a long time to fix ;-) [00:48] i'll try... i had problems of my own! [00:49] anom01y: then run "sudo asoundconf set-default-card NAMEOFYOURCARD " [00:49] type it exactly as it is reported in the previous command [00:50] ok thats done [00:51] ok, finally restart sound server: "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" [00:52] now, next time you login, your .conf settings will pull from that card [00:52] i have an external Soundblaster hooked up to my stereo in my basement, and switch between that and the onboard in the lappy all the time [00:53] cd players are the past. Hooking up Amarok to your home stereo is awesome [00:53] Does anyone know how to blacklist a module when trying to boot from the livecd?

[02:18] Slune is a fun driving/cart game also. [02:18] Alright guys. Question. I just installed Kubuntu for the first time on a machine with a GeForce FX 5700LE and can't figure out how to get the correct driver. I attempted to do it through the hardware driver manager, but it didn't take. [02:18] right, only in the US is it not open-source. it depends on the country. [02:19] Well its still open sourced.. :) just not legal to have. [02:19] it didn't take with nvidia driver (new)? [02:19] For some reason no [02:20] I just restarted again and now my resolution is all out of whack. Essentially I'm trying to get Compiz working as a way to kind of feel my way around the OS, but this driver issue is driving me nuts...no pun intended [02:20] !info slune [02:20] slune (source: slune): 3D racing and car-crashing game. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.13-1 (hardy), package size 10442 kB, installed size 25832 kB [02:20] oh, you know what, that is an older video card, right? [02:20] let me look it up. [02:20] It is, yes. I wasn't sure if I needed to use the old Legacy driver or get a new driver from nVidia. I'm thinking they might have the Linux drivers available now. [02:22] they should, but otherwise i would try the binary x.org driver. [02:22] How would I go about obtaining that? [02:22] Theres Legacy, the normal, and the new.. for the nvidia drivers [02:22] not the legacy, that is for some of the first cards that nvidia released. [02:22] Theres a list somewhere. that tells what cards need what. [02:22] alright. Off to google. Thanks for the help. [02:22] 5700 I think does not need legacy or new.. it needsd the middle one. [02:22] !nvidia | Cheezwhiz [02:22] Cheezwhiz: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:22] no problem. [02:23] Cheezwhiz: you need nvidia-glx [02:23] Awesome, thank you very much [02:24] Cheezwhiz: It is FX 5700 as I understand ? [02:24] That's right [02:25] Cheezwhiz: Than it is nvidia-glx, though you might even try with -new one later. [02:25] I plan on doing alot of experimenting, but right now I just want to get the system to a point where I can start learning the basics [02:26] Cheezwhiz: Than glx is a safe choice. ;) [02:26] Sounds good. Greatly appreciated. And, I hate to say it, but you guys are gonna be seeing alot of me I think lol. [02:27] Hey, this is community supported. Thats why we are here. [02:27] Just stop in. [02:27] Cheezwhiz: We don't mind . :) ;) [02:28] Hey, KalThaeden[EK]. Are you same one from the EK clan on Battle.net? [02:28] Alright. Already got another question. I'm following the directions for the driver to install where it asks me to type in "sh .run and it says that it can't open it...any ideas? [02:28] Yes, why? [02:29] Just wondering. Your name looked really familiar. [02:29] Cheezwhiz: why don't u use package manager, it's easier: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx [02:29] thx for the fdisk tip, cfdisk got me sorted [02:30] Yeah, i've given up those days of playing games. I'm just focused on school now, but stop in and chat every now and then on EK channel. [02:30] Man. I'm a windows system administrator and this OS is making me feel like a moron lol. I gotta say I like it so far. [02:30] Cheezwhiz: btw, it can't open because u need to do it out of graphics mode, with X not started. ;) [02:30] cool. [02:31] nah, you aren't a moron [02:31] the system is different. it just takes time to adapt. [02:31] It's alot different [02:31] Before I run you guys ragged is there a thread anywhere that will tell me how to get out of the GUI and shut down X-Server? [02:32] Cheezwhiz: Yes it is, but it's up to you to learn. It can be tough but no need to feel like a moron. ;) === luis is now known as tigremx1 [02:32] yep, just kill the xserver [02:33] uh, you can reset it by CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-DEL, but i'm trying to remember how to exit it. [02:33] Cheezwhiz: try with package manager beter, It's much easier for a beginner ;) [02:33] CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-BKSPC, not delete [02:33] Cheezwhiz: logout back to the login screen, if you want console you can choose from there console login [02:33] true. i wasn't even thinking. [02:34] Awesome, thanks. And Gith, when I run $sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx I keep getting a segmentation faulty tree or something to that effect at 50% [02:34] shift? [02:34] Not sure what that means [02:35] nah, i messed up when typing. I was thinking ctrl alt del. [02:35] from windows. [02:35] hmm... alt-ctrl-backspace will exit X Idmenatly. :) [02:35] imediatly. [02:35] "Right then!" :) [02:35] Cheezwhiz: did you try installing it using jokey-kde that tries to avoid problems but im not sure thats relevant to your problem === rodrigo_ is now known as blackhawk [02:37] I did not, Rioting. Don't even know what Jokey-kde is to be honest [02:37] jokey is the 'hardware-manager' tool ya see in the menus [02:37] 'hardware-driver-manager' is Jokey I do think. [02:37] how can you set kopete to open in firefo and not konquer [02:38] * X2683 needs to get going. Its late here. Yawn.... [02:38] ok? [02:38] Hmm.. lets see.. [02:38] Cheezwhiz: that's "hardware drivers" in menu, jockey-kde that is. [02:39] Ah gotcha. Yes I tried to install that way and it didn't take. [02:39] its jockey-kde [02:39] Couple questions before I kill x-server. How do I get back to the GUI once I do that? [02:40] Cheezwhiz: with startx [02:40] or restart the kdm/gdm service [02:41] k. thx [02:44] Not sure what happened, but now my resolution is back to normal. maybe I just needed to do a startx anyway? [02:44] someone take look at this please:http://paste.ubuntu.com/26346/..i have a problem with /modules and /alises files. [02:45] Cheezwhiz, magic? :) [02:45] Looks that way lol [02:45] Cheezwhiz, the X server is supposed to autoconfigure quite a bit.. [02:46] My next question is this. Everytime I attempt to do "$sudo apt-get install " I get a Segmentation Faulty Tree... 50% line on the console. Anyone know what that means? [02:46] that sounds... really really bad... [02:46] Cheezwhiz: Open konsole and run : sudo init 3 Command that will lead you out of graphics mode for sure. ;) [02:46] Hmm.. ubuntu dosent use the runlevles like that i thought [02:46] !upstart [02:46] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [02:46] I'd like to know how I can go about getting the source to an app that I've installed via apt? Specifically I have installed kweather which does not have a source package specifically listed. Is there some way with apt that I can retrieve the source or must I just google for it? [02:47] dr_Willis: Try it ;) [02:48] lol [02:48] Alright. Done with nvidia for now. How do I go about updating without using Adept? For some reason everytime I attempt to use Adept I get a crash. [02:48] someone take look at this please:http://paste.ubuntu.com/26346/..i have a problem with /modules and /alises files. [02:51] nm, it appears that apt-get source packagename is what I was looking for... [02:55] It appears that the segmentation faulty tree is cause by corrupt /var/cache/apt/*.bin's, unfortunately I can't figure out how to delete them. Any ideas? [02:58] Cheezwhiz: sudo rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/*.* [02:58] Yeah, I got it. Did a little googling [03:00] A++ [03:00] You get a gold star for googling and reserching! [03:00] :) [03:03] Alright guys. Your help so far tonight has been greatly appreciated. Got the right driver installed, was able to update, and I'm starting to get the hang of it a bit. [03:06] Cheezwhiz: glad to hear that. ;) [03:06] Now I just gotta figure out why Compiz isn't working lol [03:07] Cheezwhiz: You need to install it first: sudo apt-get install compiz-kde [03:07] Right. I just installed it using the Desktop Effects tool in K-->System [03:08] Now install: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [03:09] for easy configuration [03:09] done [03:11] Cheezwhiz: compiz can be started with: compiz --replace Use "advanced desktop effects settings" for compiz effect configuration. [03:13] Awesome. I'm getting smoother window transitions now so it's working. I just gotta mess around with manipulating it [03:14] Cheezwhiz: well that's the hardest job of all. So many options, so little time . :) [03:15] what does this mean: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [03:15] can someone tell me why my encrypted partition is able to be accessed via linux? what am I doing wrong? [03:15] I hear that. First thing is to set up the cube that I always hear people talk about. THen I'll move on [03:16] * dr_Willis scoffs at the cube [03:17] You don't like it I take it? [03:17] Its main use is to make windows-users eyes bug out. === C8822814 is now known as chalcedony [03:18] then you turn off all that fluff to get real work done. :) [03:19] Completely understandable. You have to understand though, that I'm a complete noob, and the cube looks like a cool thing to play around with. Is it simply eye candy? Of course, but I need to get my playfulness out before I start messing around with the good stuff. [03:20] o don't listen to those konsole purists lol [03:21] is anyone able to help [03:21] darcy, you did run the command it suggested? 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' ?? [03:22] The konsole purists helped get this OS where it is today. I'll take the time to listen to anything they have to say...and then respectfully disagree lol [03:22] darcy: run: sudo dpkg --configure -a [03:22] Githzerai: I did, but it said that I needed superuser authority [03:22] precede the command with "sudo" [03:23] darcy: with sudo : sudo dpkg --configure -a [03:23] Logical eh? :) [03:23] since ya ran the apt-get stuff with 'sudo' normally... [03:24] Githzerai: nope, thanks. I feel like an idiot now. [03:24] 'is this command going to affect the whole system.... if yes... sudo will be needed' [03:24] Cheezwhiz: I was just joking [03:24] is how i explained it to the guys at work. [03:24] I know lol [03:24] darcy: don't, it's a common mistake ;) [03:25] Githzerai: one more question - i messed around with my window view and now I don't have the x on the top to closeout - any ideas? [03:25] darcy: kwin --replace [03:25] Hmm....can't get the cube to work. I can get my screen to flip between 2 desktops, but that's it [03:26] Cheezwhiz: general options - desktop size in ccsm [03:27] Not working. It keeps reverting back to 1. [03:28] Cheezwhiz: horisontal virtual size slider or whatever it is... [03:28] There we go.

[03:32] !wireless [03:32] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:33] Awesome. Got it figured out. My wife doesn't understand my desire to see it, but whatever lol [03:33] My HP laptop had the Broadcom 4310 chipset.. for some reason the b43 modles did not work with it. I had to use ndiswrappers.

[03:35] I still need to track down a Huge monitor I can read my comic books on. :) [03:36] say, what manual would one look in to figure out how to get konsole to use bash for new shells instead of sh? [03:36] Hmm.. bash is the default user shell. [03:36] konsole has profiles You can set to launch other shells. [03:37] This is the kde3 konsole we are talking about right? [03:38] tmbg: default shel is bash, unless u set it different in user configuration. [03:38] oh I'm being stupid. I'm in kubuntu right now, but that was at work in freebsd+kde. [03:39] my bad [03:39] Well....got it installed, got compiz working....the question is, now what? lol [03:39] I suppose I should start trying to figure out how to get EQ2 to run with wine or cedega... [03:40] Thats... sort of sad... [03:40] :P [03:41] Cheezwhiz: now enjoy ;) [03:41] What's sad? lol [03:41] IRC is the ultimate MMORPG [03:41] :) [03:41] dr_Willis: :) [03:42] Bah. Used to be. Course games like Zork used to be the head of the gaming industry too, but you know. [03:42] * dr_Willis recalls a ZORK bot once... [03:42] Githzerai: yes, thanks. one more thing - I have an rpm file I'm trying to install. I have installed the rpm program to deal with it, but I can't find the program anywhere [03:42] Crap. I had figured out how to mount smb but I forgot. Can someone point me towards making a script to do it for me? [03:43] buckethead, if you really want to be lazy the 'smb4k' program lets you browse/mount samba shares. [03:43] it actually Mounts them to the users smb4k/ShareName directory. :) [03:43] darcy: alien in konsole. But I would strongly suggest that you find propper .deb pacakage if possible. [03:43] I'd like to build a script so I can push one button and auto-mount everything on home servers. [03:43] I'll check out smb4k in the mean time. [03:44] buckethead, you may want to chek out the 'fusesmb' tool also. it basicially 'mounts' the whole 'network neighborhood' to a directory [03:44] !info fusesmb [03:44] fusesmb (source: fusesmb): filesystem client based on the SMB file transfer protocol. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.7-1 (hardy), package size 30 kB, installed size 140 kB [03:44] Thats interesting. How fast is it? [03:44] a command like 'fusesmb Network' and poof the whole Lan is there. :) [03:45] if you are worried about speed.. smb is a bottleneck :) [03:45] not really tested how the fuse is vs the normal mounting.. seemed about the same to me [03:45] I tend to toss large avi files all over the place with no hassles. [03:45] for Linxu to Linux - NFS is MUCH faster [03:46] Can I run them side/side? I need win compatibility.. [03:46] this is linux.. of course you can........ [03:46] :) [03:46] I do recall some mention of NFS for windows.. but never did find it. [03:46] Githzerai: what is a .deb package - I installed it from the synaptic package manager. [03:47] Heh. Around the people I know.. Simple is required. [03:47] for simple/quick and easy transfers.. winscp + ssh - is handy. [03:47] darcy: I suggested that u find .deb instead of .rpm package u have ;) [03:47] but it may be a bit slower.. but its easy to get going. and almost fool proof. :) [03:48] Githzerai: I'm trying to install lightscribe and this is direct from their website. [03:48] I got the lightscripe label and otehr tools the other day from their web site. [03:49] Worked decently well.. takes 5+ min to make a label however. [03:49] darcy: yes, but don't they have a deb package for download also ? [03:49] I was pretty sure they had deb packages for the labeler and other package. [03:50] darcy: i just checked they have deb files there as while [03:50] cadoo: thanks - I'm going there now. [03:50] http://download.lightscribe.com/ls/lightscribe-1.14.17.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb [03:51] http://download.lightscribe.com/ls/lightscribeApplications-1.10.19.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb [03:51] thers 2 packages ya got to get. :) [03:51] http://download.lightscribe.com/ls/lightscribe-1.14.17.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb [03:52] nice to see a company with good linux support! [03:53] Thanks a great deal dr_Willis, cadoo and Githzeral [03:53] Alright guys. I'm off for the night. Gotta get some sleep. Thanks again for the help and I'm sure I'll see you tomorrow. [03:54]
