PsynoKhi0hi00:18
PsynoKhi0I have a Hardy installation here that locks up if I load the module for the sound card, while the cdrom (on ide channel 2) is connected00:39
PsynoKhi0rather it locks up when playing sound for a while00:39
PsynoKhi0cat /proc/interrupts shows the second ide channel throwing lots of interrupts00:40
PsynoKhi0the cdrom player isn't mounted and I commented out the line in fstab00:40
PsynoKhi0the computer ran fine in fiesty and gutsy, and other distros on the hdd's partitions run flawlessly too00:43
PsynoKhi0any suggestion?00:44
PsynoKhi0http://paste.ubuntu.com/103338/ that's the output of cat /proc/interrupts, the cdrom unit corresponds to irq 15, I guess it's seeking media, though is there a way I can make it stop querring the channel?01:00
hidronico okay so ive extracted the firmware for bcmxxx to /lib/firmware after this the alternate driver program doesnt recognize anything i think the instructions for fwcutter are incomplete any suggestions are appreciated !01:19

R1cochetso are u trying to boot from cd or hdd?03:54
R1cochetcraigbass1976: openoffice writer?03:55
craigbass1976R1cochet, yes03:55
craigbass1976I thought right clicking on it in the menu might give me some options, but it just fires the program up03:56
batcoder-7R1cochet, hd but it wont boot wiht my dvd drive plugged in03:56
batcoder-7this is crappy03:56
R1cochetcraigbass1976: from synaptic?03:56
batcoder-7i need to brun a dvd03:56
craigbass1976R1cochet, it's installed, I'm just trying to put a launcher on my panel03:56
R1cochetbatcoder-7: is it a PATA or SATA?03:56
craigbass1976wondering where the png is03:56
batcoder-7its not Sata03:57
R1cochetcraigbass1976: 1 min03:57
batcoder-7so i guess Psata if thats what a stanrd ide is ?03:57
R1cochetii think i can find it03:57
craigbass1976R1cochet, no rush, give them a hand first.03:57
R1cochetyea PATA03:57
batcoder-7this sucks03:58
batcoder-7cant even boot my system with a dvd drive in it03:58
batcoder-7works fine if i try a cd rw though03:58
R1cochetcheck ur bios for boot order03:58
R1cochethmm weird03:58
R1cochetbatcoder-7: u might want to check in ##hardware03:58
R1cochetcraigbass1976: OOo installs to /opt/openoffice.....04:00
R1cochettry looking in there04:00
craigbass1976criminy...04:01
R1cocheti know man nut im looking also04:02
batcoder-7how much lighter does the current xfce run compared to gnome04:03
batcoder-7i know its a heated argument but a rough estimate ?04:03
R1cochetno idea i liked xfce more04:05
batcoder-7they say its ighter04:05
batcoder-7but04:05
batcoder-7some people are sayng its just the same now04:05
craigbass1976R1cochet, I see NOTHING in opt; hunted around /usr/lib and found some stuff, but it's the images OOo uses in the programs themselves.04:06
R1cochetyea thats what ive come across so far04:06
craigbass1976batcoder-7, I just wiped my laptop over Christmas.  Had regular ubuntu, now running xub.  Much faster04:06
R1cochetcraigbass1976: what version of OOo r u using04:06
craigbass1976R1cochet, 2.404:07
batcoder-7craigbass1976, might be due to just a nice fresh system ?04:07
batcoder-7i dunno i assume its lighter but by how much i dont know04:07
craigbass1976batcoder-7, I don't know... This aint windows, so stuff tends to stay pretty clean anyway.04:07
craigbass1976If I need something faster, isn't there a fluxbuntu out there?04:08
craigbass1976Or I'll just run no GUI and vi everything...04:08
craigbass1976elinks on the net... oh yeah04:09
R1cocheti think there is a fluxbox04:09
batcoder-7fluxubuntu is not like04:09
craigbass1976R1cochet, I haven't used fluxbox in a couple years04:09
batcoder-7xubuntu etc04:09
batcoder-7poorly supported04:09
batcoder-7very slow release cycle04:10
batcoder-7btw its all using the same repo's here04:10
batcoder-7all thats being done is some guy is installing apps that he htinks are best suited for your desktop04:10
batcoder-7i wish i would have installed an ubuntu server then installed xfce04:10
batcoder-7system would prolly run faster04:10
batcoder-7most likely some background shit running that i really dont need04:11
craigbass1976I ran a xubuntu server for a while.  The new server is running centos, but it's named xub because I didn't want to wait for dns records to update04:11
batcoder-7i just said server because it comes clean btw04:12
batcoder-7i wouldnt run ubuntu as a server04:12
batcoder-7i use ubuntu stuff becasue its a faster release cycle and more suited for desktops04:12
batcoder-7but yet somewhat stable04:12
craigbass1976I laugh at the stable comment.  I can't remember if I've ever had a screaming fit at my computers since I quit windows, yet any of the windows boxes I've had to use at work still get me wound up tighter than a ten cent top with all the crashing they do04:15
craigbass1976R1cochet, so I broke down and just downloaded an icon, threw it into /usr/share/pixmaps/ and called it good.04:18

zesssi mean everyhing comes up fine in 800x600 but this laptop doesnt use the whole screen in this mode but with windows 1024x768 uses the whole screen20:07
nikolamzesss, I had the same thing on every install, after installing/start of using right driver, new resolutions/frequencies appears20:07

zesssya lc2 so how did you fix it20:12
zesssmine wont go above 800x600 @56hz20:13

zesssdont know how to edit stuff20:13
lc2sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf20:14

lc2^ o wow, modelines ;(20:26
nikolamhi i found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=994901&highlight=siliconmotion+driver20:26
nikolamseems like 8.10 driver for siliconmotion is not great because of some x.org changes20:26
zesssok looks like they never got it working20:32
nikolami never upgraded to 8.10. I stayed with 8.04LTS and happy with it..20:33
nikolammaybe older package of that could be installed?20:33
nikolamhttp://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=siliconmotion&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all20:34
nikolammaybe even with force option (sudo dpkg -i --force *.deb)20:35
nikolamzesss, what version of xubuntu U use?20:36
zesss8.0420:36
zesssheroi n20:37
nikolamlol20:37
zesss:o)20:37
zesssmy laptop is a heroin addict20:37
nikolammaybe you could install debian-reference package, many interesting things is in that documentation20:38
nikolamlike how to port package to different distribution20:38
nikolam2 commands dpkg-source -x *.dsc20:39
nikolamand dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc20:39
nikolamand maybe some dependencies20:40
nikolamThat is for making older or newer package for current install20:40
zesssso i need to run a differnet distribution to get my screen full20:40
nikolamnope, i suggest to make older version of package for your current distribution20:41
nikolamand use that older version that hopefully works.20:41
nikolamDid those modeline lines worked20:41
nikolamalso look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf what driver is selected for X20:42
lc2(p.s. be careful with modelines, you can physically destroy your monitor)20:42
zesssyou want me to run thos commands20:42
nikolamno20:43
zesssk20:43
nikolamget debian-reference and see for yourself20:44
zesssso those 2 commands you wrote you want me to write them in terminal20:44
nikolamno20:44
zesss:o~20:44
zesssk20:44
zesssi havent20:44
nikolambut you could do  sudo apt-get install debian-reference20:45
nikolamto get manuals etc20:45
zesssnikolam:  what about anything in here http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:GaYVf90wcGcJ:dreamlinuxforums.org/index.php%3Faction%3Dprintpage%3Btopic%3D2411.0+ibm+thinkpad+1171+hsync&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=11&gl=uk20:46
nikolamunder System> Debian reference. After that look for porting package to stable system, under surviving tips20:46
zessslc2 posted that20:46
nikolamWell he was saying that is for modeline line20:47
nikolammaybe that would be enough20:47
zesssoh so its something different20:47
nikolambut one should take care with frequencies20:48
lc2yes, and that's the last resort, manually configuring your monitor20:48
zesssbut that thread is on my laptop20:48
nikolamalso you can always just use vesa driver in xorg.conf and forget about anything else20:48
zesssokiedoke20:48
nikolamthen it is ok, if it is the same laptop :))20:48
zesssbut i have no idea on how to apply20:49
zesssand would prefer to try something that wont damage permanently20:49
nikolamgksu mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf20:49
nikolamor20:50
nikolamsudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf20:50
nikolamThen save20:50
nikolamAnd restart eather X with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace , or restart computer20:50
nikolamalso I think logout/login restarts X20:51

zessskinda slow at getting updates21:32
zesssim on 10mb/s connection and i get 12kb/s getting updates21:33
lc2hm21:33
lc2i doubt that's something linux is doing wrong, it's more likely to be a bottleneck elsewhere21:34
zesss200mb of updates21:34
lc2ouch ;(21:35
lc2are you sure it's not the servers being slow?21:35
lc2i.e. have you tried downloading any other file from somewhere else21:35
zesssinternet and everything else seems fast21:35
zessshavent tried to download anyhting yet21:35
lc2zesss: try it, so we can narrow things down21:36
zessswhere can i download something21:36

lc2under "download from", go to "Other"21:41
lc2and try a different mirror from there21:41
zesssso if i want to add vlc to my machine i add it to the third party list21:42
lc2zesss: no, you should just be able to apt-get install vlc21:42
lc2or rather, sudo apt-get install vlc21:43
zesssk21:43
zesssohhhh21:43
lc2same for most other popular packages21:43
zesssi have no sound21:43
lc2zesss: o noes ;\21:43
zesss:~21:43
zesssit sees the sound card but i dont see a volume control21:44
lc2that's because you don't have one unless you add it21:45
zessswooot thats a good mirror 500kb/s21:45
