I'm trying to get xubuntu to recognize my SATA drive. [04:21] I'm not sure which is worse... [04:21] It worked before when I had Ubuntu 8.04 on Wubi [04:22] but if I install the restricted driver that Xubuntu gives me, the login screen doesn't even show up... just a black screen. === wormsxulla__ is now known as wormsxulla [05:10] Anyone know how to get shockwave player plugin into firefox?

[12:28] Hello. I am a new Linux user. I have successfully installed Xubuntu in an IBM Thinkpad600. However the only hardware that was not recognized was the audio card (CS4239). I have found this page to how to configure the card but I fell a bitt loss. Here is the link to the page http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/CS4239 [12:29] How can I install the Linux ALSA driver for the CS4239 card? [12:35] xfce thinks that i have 2 screens how do i fix this [12:53] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8-6eAYHOBE [12:59] hi all, i have a java process thath sucks me costantly around 30% of the memory, anyone know how can i see what is it doing? [13:01] oh ok i think i found it, it is working for azureus.... [13:02] Necrosan: go to #xubuntu-offtopic [13:05] pedrito: try the command: sudo modprobe snd-cs4236 [13:06] TheSheep: Hi. [13:06] TheSheep: the module is not installed. I found information how to install the module [13:06] other question: how is thath possile that there isn't the program "mail" on xubuntu? [13:07] TheSheep: @ the http://www.alsa-project.org site [13:07] neither in apt [13:07] abec: because it's a desktop distribution, not server? [13:07] abec: you can install it [13:07] pedrito: ok [13:07] TheSheep: I am currently installing the drivers following the on site instructions [13:08] pedrito: good luck [13:08] TheSheep: Thanks a lot for the attention :) [13:08] abec: it's in mailutils packagae [13:12] does that mean that i have to add some repo? [13:15] abec: no, you just have to install the mailutils package [13:17] TheSheep: ah ok, thanks:) [13:53] TheSheep: Errors found on the installation of snd-cs4236 (the driver module compatible with cs4239) [13:55] TheSheep: When I run "sudo modprobe snd-cs4236" the terminal opens a virtual keyboard, and when I close such window the terminal shows the following information:/usr/local/sbin/soundcard-on: line 6: the: command not found [13:55] /usr/local/sbin/soundcard-on: line 18: syntax error near unexpected token `)' [13:55] /usr/local/sbin/soundcard-on: line 18: `turned off)' [13:55] FATAL: Error running install command for snd_cs4236 [13:56] TheSheep: the compiler shows erros during the ALSA-utils module compilation [13:58] TheSheep: I followed the instructions shown in the site: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-cs4236 [14:17] someone with experience with compilation of ALSA drivers? [14:23] pedrito, the drivers built into the kernel dont work? [14:29] vidd: the module is not recognized automatically and is also not found in the distribution [14:29] vidd: I when to the ALSA project site and found there the instructions for installation [14:30] vidd: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-cs4236 [14:30] vidd: However at the moment of alsa-utils installation I get many errors [14:31] When I run "sudo modprobe snd-cs4236" the terminal opens a virtual keyboard, and when I close such window the terminal shows the following information:/usr/local/sbin/soundcard-on: line 6: the: command not found /usr/local/sbin/soundcard-on: line 18: syntax error near unexpected token `)' /usr/local/sbin/soundcard-on: line 18: `turned off) FATAL: Error running install command for snd_cs4236 [14:31] vidd: When I run "sudo modprobe snd-cs4236" the terminal opens a virtual keyboard, and when I close such window the terminal shows the following information:/usr/local/sbin/soundcard-on: line 6: the: command not found /usr/local/sbin/soundcard-on: line 18: syntax error near unexpected token `)' /usr/local/sbin/soundcard-on: line 18: `turned off) FATAL: Error running install command for snd_cs4236 [14:31] pedrito, i can read [14:32] vidd: sorry again :( [14:32] please pastebin the errors you get when you try to compile [14:32] !pastebin | pedrito [14:32] pedrito: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [14:34] vidd: how I can do that? How can I capture the result of "sudo ./configure ; sudo make ; sudo make install" ? [14:35] pedrito, you dont make as root [14:35] that is what likely caused your issue [14:35] vidd, you also don't configure as root, right? Only "make install" [14:36] vidd: ok I will try to do that without sudo. I will let you know [14:36] vinnl, its been a LONG time since i compiled from sourse [14:36] vidd, yeah, here as well [14:36] pedrito, only sudo the make install [14:36] But I suppose configure just checks whether your system can handle it, while make install. well, installs it system-wide :) [14:36] vidd: thanks [14:37] Though I don't suppose sudo ./configure and sudo make should cause problems [14:37] and if you sudo make...then only root can use it [14:39] i know it causes some kind of compile error that make install cant overcome [14:40] vidd: I got the result... I got many errors. How can send you the result of pastebin? [14:40] pedrito, are you in a windowed environment? [14:40] yes [14:40] vidd: xfce [14:41] vidd: my terminal emulator is mrxvt [14:41] IDK how to copy from that terminal emulator [14:42] but you need to be able to copy its output [14:42] Select, right click, copy? [14:42] and if removing all the stuff you did b4 and recompiling correctly does not fix the issue, i dont know what will [14:42] vidd: vinnl: yes I know that... can I past all that here in the irc? [14:43] pedrito, no, paste it at the pastebin then post the link here [14:43] pedrito, absolutely NOT! [14:43] vidd: ok I got it. [14:43] hence why i said "PASTEBIN [14:43] vidd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/72889/ [14:43] !pastebin | pedrito [14:43] pedrito: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [14:43] vinnl: http://paste.ubuntu.com/72889/ [14:45] pedrito, what is the permissions and owner of the ./config file? [14:45] vidd, ah, he's not in his home directory... [14:45] So I suppose he'd need to do it as root :P [14:45] but he CAN'T do it as root [14:46] vidd: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 575938 2008-11-12 11:04 configure [14:46] he needs to get the directory into his home directory, chown it to himself, and run it [14:46] probably needs to chmod it to 777 too [14:47] vidd: so I need to move the /usr/src/alsa to ~/pmsalves/ ? [14:48] vidd: to do all the compilation from source from my home user directory? [14:48] Any idea why I can't get my SATA drive to be found in Xubuntu? [14:49] vidd: I followed the instructions stated on the ALSA project site... :( [14:50] vidd: I will try again everything again. [15:00] pedrito, when you do the ./config, the make and the make install..... [15:00] do them one at atime [15:01] if you mash them together like ya did before, your error logs will be harder to read and trace [15:06] vidd: ok ... [15:07] vidd: here is the result of make install as root. ./configure and make as normal user http://paste.ubuntu.com/72900/ [15:08] kids, is it an internal or external drive? and was it there when you installed? [15:11] pedrito, you see those .ko files that the command cant find? [15:12] vidd: yes I see... [15:13] vidd: it appears to be the problem... however I have no idea how to solve that... [15:14] hi [15:14] find where they are on your system and put them into your /lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/kernel/sound/acore folder [15:14] hellow slow-motion [15:14] vidd: thanks for the tip [15:15] hi vidd [15:19] can listen also plays webradios that use *.pls files? [15:20] every release they add more worthless trash to the default install [15:20] how many media playes do they think we need? [15:22] slow-motion, dunno about listen....but libxine1-plugin and libxine-ffmpeg will let firefox and gxine play them [15:23] i think that god-awful tavasty gstreamer has a package that will let totem play it too [15:23] how many media playes do they think we need? < one for tv (default install of course) would be nice *veg* [15:23] yes i played them with totem before "listen" [15:23] slow-motion, how many computers have tv cards? [15:24] slow-motion, have you seen Mythbuntu? :) [15:24] you want that crap, you go get myth [15:24] i used totem for dvb-t [15:25] much handmade stuff and a playlist with the stations [15:25] * vidd has always used xine-based stuff...cuzz it works and is light [15:26] gstreamer takes half of what xine has and M$-sizes it [15:26] mplayer was xine too? [15:27] dunno...i use gxine front-end [15:28] * vidd picked up the mantle for xine-over-gstreamer back in breezy..... [15:29] they may have made significant improvements to gstreamer since then...but i dont care....xine has always done what i needed it to [15:30] i need to get dvbt running again [15:30] * vidd thinks the devels need to realize that "hey....there is still room left on the live cd" is no excuse to add more apps that do the same thing [15:31] and i case of this distri they get payed [15:31] i think [15:32] i never heard of transmissions until i had to track it down and purge it in HH, and i never heard of listen until you asked about it (and i realize i have to cut that out too) [15:33] vidd, there was no alternative to Transmission installed already [15:33] And Totem is supposed to be a movie player, listen an audio player [15:34] vinnl, and there is still no compelling reason for it to be on the default install either [15:34] vidd, how about that people use it? [15:34] totem is a media player...music, movies, tv, dvds, etc [15:34] Yeah but they label it as "Movie" player, and it's not really designed to manage your music collection, is it? [15:34] vinnl, its in the repos....so its mindless to add [15:35] some time ago i played dvds with totem. even with the dvd menue [15:35] vidd, Xfce is in the repos [15:35] slow-motion, nice, it can do that already? :) [15:35] yes i think i got it running. but dont remember how [15:36] vinnl, you darn well that xfce is a hefty collection of apps [15:36] vidd, OK, then Firefox is in the reps. [15:36] slow-motion, you probably used Xine as backend :P [15:37] vinnl, a web browser has been a standard componant of OS's since 94 [15:37] sorry....98 [15:37] vidd, yeah, so? Why does that make it a valid component? People didn't do BitTorrent in '98 [15:38] But they do now [15:38] vinnl, you expect ppl to get assistance from google searches [15:38] *sigh* [15:38] vidd, so what about Abiword then? [15:39] without some kind of browser out of the box, you get no google searches [15:39] vinnl, another piece of bloat [15:39] xfce comes with mousepad [15:39] vidd, OK, so Firefox is the only useful application on Xubuntu? [15:39] thunderbird [15:39] So why do you need Mousepad? You can Google on how to install a text editor, right? [15:39] mousepad, thunar [15:39] Or on how to install Thunderbird [15:40] i dont know why there are so many default games [15:40] slow-motion, its all one package [15:41] it was an "all or none" thing [15:41] that new audio recorder is a nice idea. but listen can be removed [15:42] and why is there no default IRC client? [15:42] and dont start that crap about "pidgin is for IRC" [15:42] So now IRC is used more often than BitTorrent? [15:42] i preefer dosbox and a good java interface to play games [15:42] (Xchat is in Intrepid btw) [15:42] lets see....how do you get support? [15:42] xchat is nice as a default client [15:42] vidd: Sorry to interrupt our discussions. New problems now on alsa-utils... here is the output of "make" http://paste.ubuntu.com/72910/ [15:43] That doesn't mean more people need it [15:43] we get support with email, web pages, and irc [15:43] I'm not saying you shouldn't include an IRC client, I'm saying if you include that, why not include a BitTorrent client? [15:44] Xubuntu doesn't aim to "provide a full package that allows you to get support for that package" [15:44] It aims to "provide a usable desktop" [15:44] (in short :P) [15:44] vinnl, im not really that apposed to a bit torrent client...i am apposed to so many different types of the same thing [15:45] vidd, well, you could only argue that Listen has a little bit overlap with Totem, but Xubuntu does a good job otherwise [15:46] there is a remote desktop viewer installed by defualt? [15:46] and how many ppl need that? [15:47] How is that overlap? [15:47] vinnl, differnt group of gripes [15:47] ? [15:51] vidd: I have to go offline. I will try to find the solution later during the week. Thanks for your supervision and teaching. [16:08] How can i get my pointer to move faster? it's really difficult to navigate with the touchpad when it moves slowly [16:09] karen|, in the Settings Manager, open the Mouse settings [16:09] You can then increase the acceleration [16:10] oh snap [16:10] i would have never found that [16:10] thank you SO MUCH [16:10] :D [16:10] You're welcome :) [16:11] The Settings Manager is a good start whenever you want to configure stuff ;-) [16:11] i see this now, i was afraid that I'd have to do stuff in the terminal [16:11] (i'm totally new to linux) [16:11] karen|: you can also install the gsynaptics-mcs-plugin package and have the settings for your touchpad in the settings manager then [16:11] Heh, you almost never have to do that if you don't want to :) [16:11] see, Sheep, that's what I had read online [16:12] and it wanted me to activate something with the terminal [16:12] and i was so lost :( [16:12] karen|: you can do it with synaptics, no need for terminal :) [16:12] wtf [16:12] the internet lies to me then [16:12] karen|, often, when you read documentation online, it tells you to do stuff in the terminal even if you can do it without [16:12] :(^2 [16:12] karen|, also, make sure the documentation doesn't just apply to "linux", but to "xubuntu" or at least "ubuntu" :) [16:13] because it's easier to describe 'type this' than 'find the icon that looks kinda like a very sick cactus, and click on it' [16:13] oh yea, i made sure of that [16:13] Exactly [16:13] lol very sick cactus [16:13] TheSheep, a sick cactus? xD [16:13] karen|, its easier for the user to copy/paste from web page to terminal [16:13] i just need to get used to the terminal [16:13] damn windows has me brainwashed :P [16:13] :P [16:14] * vidd used to be afraid of the terminal when he first started [16:14] * vinnl isn't afraid anymore, but really doesn't prefer it :P [16:14] hehe [16:15] now i complain when i have to do things in windows because i have to click 80 times instead of type seven words [16:15] i'm thinking of getting the xubuntu book, kinda take things from the beginning [16:15] Is there a Xubuntu book? [16:15] aye [16:15] Link? [16:15] http://www.lulu.com/content/324330 [16:15] karen|, just make sure its not from M$ press! [16:16] :x [16:16] karen|, that's just the Desktop Guide, you can read that on your computer as well :) [16:16] i know, but i like to have things separate from the computer when I'm reading [16:16] Ah :) [16:16] karen|, though take note, this seems to be the Desktop Guide for Xubuntu 6.06 [16:16] ah ha [16:16] ill do some more digging [16:17] hi, I inserted an SD Card in my new laptop. How do I view its contents please? [16:17] MUTU, it ought to show up on the left in the file browser [16:19] it does not get mounted [16:19] perhaps my sd card reader is not supported? [16:21] I wouldn't know, I don't really know anything about SD cards [16:21] Is it connected through USB? [16:22] MUTU, if it is, you might try running the command "lsusb"... Don't ask me why, but it's worked for me in the past ;-) [16:23] But I'm off now, good luck :) [16:26] MUTU, is your card reader internal or usb? [16:38] what's a good audio player for xubuntu? [16:39] listen [16:39] it's the default in 8.10 [16:41] vidd internal [16:41] part of the laptop [16:42] MUTU, does lspci show the device?

Maybe someone in here will know the answer. [16:52] I can "od /dev/input/event2" from an ctrl+alt-f1 screen then press buttons on my remote and get output [16:52] however if I press ctrl+alt+F7 and run the same command I get nothing. [16:53] I wanted to write something that if input came from the remote, it would do something differently [17:00] sorry about that [17:00] didn't realise my battery was on charge === mutu is now known as MUTU [17:05] hi [17:17] is there a file system that both windows and xubuntu recognize? cuz i'd like to have a partition (or external harddrive) where i can store files, but so both systems can open things [17:18] karen|, have gparted set up a partition with fat32 file system [17:18] gparted, hmm [17:18] both windows and linux can read and write without any [17:18] *issues [17:19] fat32, that can only have a certain amount of GB on it right? [17:19] windows can read ext2/3 partitions with additional driver [17:19] karen|: 4GB max file size [17:19] :oooo [17:19] !ext2 [17:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2 [17:19] !ext3 [17:19] ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [17:21] * vidd recommends that you do not give your virus magnet the ability to read(and trash) your linux setup [17:21] :( [17:21] setting up the partition with fat 32 or ntfs is safest [17:22] !ntfs [17:22] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [17:24] karen|, is this for a dual boot system? or for multiple systems sharing an external drive? [17:24] dual boot [17:24] xubuntu actually hogged up more space than i wanted it to [17:25] karen|: you can boot the livecd and resize the partition [17:25] i had assigned 38gb to windows and 15 to xubuntu. there was about 55gb of unallocated space that i was going to partition later according to what i wanted/needed [17:25] karen|: with parted [17:25] with a dual boot, i would definantly stay away from installing the driver that lets windows read/write to your linux partition [17:25] awesome, ill need to do that [17:26] karen|, if you had installed with wubi, you would already have your systems able to "talk" to each other [17:27] i figured keeping them separate was a good idea [17:28] oh anyway, speaking of windows and viruses [17:28] is there an antivirus that i need for xubuntu? [17:31] heh....in order to have a viral infestation of your linux box....you have to find a virus that will run in linux, then download it, then make it executable, and finally run it as root [17:31] ah vidd, you make linux seem like heaven. i like it. [17:32] * knome is back [17:32] hello everybody [17:32] hello [17:32] karen|, you may want to look into getting a root kit hunter though [17:32] okies [17:32] * vidd recommends rkhunter [17:33] a root kit is spyware for linux [17:33] they are less common, but more dangerous then spyware on windows [17:33] eesh [17:34] a compromised linux machine is used as a general of the zombied windows soldiers of a bot-net [17:34] as long as you practice good security techniques, you should have little issue with them [17:35] gotcha [17:35] just out of curiosity, where do these things usually hide? programs? web pages? [17:36] usually on web pages, or from hackers directly attacking your machine [17:37] ohhh [17:37] how do i install this :oOoO [17:38] sudo apt-get install rkhunter [17:38] or open up synaptic (since your still not used to the terminal) and you will find it [17:39] i gave the terminal a shot, it seems to be doing okay :O [17:39] i think...it finished [17:39] its like the 7 or 8 hundreth program into the "r"s =] [17:39] :D? [17:39] lol [17:40] i will learn the terminal, it is definitely easier and quicker [17:40] XD [17:40] plus the terminal has tab-complete.... [17:40] what's that?! :D? [17:42] if you type something and press 'tab', it will complete it [17:42] you could type sud[tab]apt-g[tab]ins[tab]rkh[tab] [17:42] and it would fill out the missing caracters [17:42] it's very fast [17:43] notice it puts the spaces in for you too [17:44] and if you are not sure the package or command name but know the first one or two characters of it.... [17:44] you can hit tab twice and it will show you all the choices [17:44] cool [17:45] (eat your heart out, Billy!)
