PsynoKhi0 | hi | 00:18 |
---|---|---|
PsynoKhi0 | I 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 connected | 00:39 |
PsynoKhi0 | rather it locks up when playing sound for a while | 00:39 |
PsynoKhi0 | cat /proc/interrupts shows the second ide channel throwing lots of interrupts | 00:40 |
PsynoKhi0 | the cdrom player isn't mounted and I commented out the line in fstab | 00:40 |
PsynoKhi0 | the computer ran fine in fiesty and gutsy, and other distros on the hdd's partitions run flawlessly too | 00:43 |
PsynoKhi0 | any suggestion? | 00:44 |
PsynoKhi0 | http://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 |

R1cochet | batcoder-7: ??? | 03:49 |
batcoder-7 | no | 03:49 |
batcoder-7 | it does not | 03:49 |
batcoder-7 | and if i plug a cd bruner into that same cable it boots just fine | 03:49 |
R1cochet | ata or sata? | 03:51 |
R1cochet | are the jumpers set? | 03:52 |
batcoder-7 | the jumppers are set to master | 03:53 |
batcoder-7 | i can boot other live cd's just fine | 03:54 |
batcoder-7 | if i try to boot it off my HD with no cd in it | 03:54 |
batcoder-7 | it does the same problem | 03:54 |
batcoder-7 | if i try to boot an xubuntu live cd | 03:54 |
batcoder-7 | same issue | 03:54 |
craigbass1976 | I'm trying to add oowriter to my top panel. Can't find the image to use as an icon... Doesn't seem to be anywhere in /usr/share/pixmaps like any other program. | 03:54 |
R1cochet | so are u trying to boot from cd or hdd? | 03:54 |
R1cochet | craigbass1976: openoffice writer? | 03:55 |
craigbass1976 | R1cochet, yes | 03:55 |
craigbass1976 | I thought right clicking on it in the menu might give me some options, but it just fires the program up | 03:56 |
batcoder-7 | R1cochet, hd but it wont boot wiht my dvd drive plugged in | 03:56 |
batcoder-7 | this is crappy | 03:56 |
R1cochet | craigbass1976: from synaptic? | 03:56 |
batcoder-7 | i need to brun a dvd | 03:56 |
craigbass1976 | R1cochet, it's installed, I'm just trying to put a launcher on my panel | 03:56 |
R1cochet | batcoder-7: is it a PATA or SATA? | 03:56 |
craigbass1976 | wondering where the png is | 03:56 |
batcoder-7 | its not Sata | 03:57 |
R1cochet | craigbass1976: 1 min | 03:57 |
batcoder-7 | so i guess Psata if thats what a stanrd ide is ? | 03:57 |
R1cochet | ii think i can find it | 03:57 |
craigbass1976 | R1cochet, no rush, give them a hand first. | 03:57 |
R1cochet | yea PATA | 03:57 |
batcoder-7 | this sucks | 03:58 |
batcoder-7 | cant even boot my system with a dvd drive in it | 03:58 |
batcoder-7 | works fine if i try a cd rw though | 03:58 |
R1cochet | check ur bios for boot order | 03:58 |
R1cochet | hmm weird | 03:58 |
R1cochet | batcoder-7: u might want to check in ##hardware | 03:58 |
R1cochet | craigbass1976: OOo installs to /opt/openoffice..... | 04:00 |
R1cochet | try looking in there | 04:00 |
craigbass1976 | criminy... | 04:01 |
R1cochet | i know man nut im looking also | 04:02 |
batcoder-7 | how much lighter does the current xfce run compared to gnome | 04:03 |
batcoder-7 | i know its a heated argument but a rough estimate ? | 04:03 |
R1cochet | no idea i liked xfce more | 04:05 |
batcoder-7 | they say its ighter | 04:05 |
batcoder-7 | but | 04:05 |
batcoder-7 | some people are sayng its just the same now | 04:05 |
craigbass1976 | R1cochet, 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 |
R1cochet | yea thats what ive come across so far | 04:06 |
craigbass1976 | batcoder-7, I just wiped my laptop over Christmas. Had regular ubuntu, now running xub. Much faster | 04:06 |
R1cochet | craigbass1976: what version of OOo r u using | 04:06 |
craigbass1976 | R1cochet, 2.4 | 04:07 |
batcoder-7 | craigbass1976, might be due to just a nice fresh system ? | 04:07 |
batcoder-7 | i dunno i assume its lighter but by how much i dont know | 04:07 |
craigbass1976 | batcoder-7, I don't know... This aint windows, so stuff tends to stay pretty clean anyway. | 04:07 |
craigbass1976 | If I need something faster, isn't there a fluxbuntu out there? | 04:08 |
craigbass1976 | Or I'll just run no GUI and vi everything... | 04:08 |
craigbass1976 | elinks on the net... oh yeah | 04:09 |
R1cochet | i think there is a fluxbox | 04:09 |
batcoder-7 | fluxubuntu is not like | 04:09 |
craigbass1976 | R1cochet, I haven't used fluxbox in a couple years | 04:09 |
batcoder-7 | xubuntu etc | 04:09 |
batcoder-7 | poorly supported | 04:09 |
batcoder-7 | very slow release cycle | 04:10 |
batcoder-7 | btw its all using the same repo's here | 04:10 |
batcoder-7 | all thats being done is some guy is installing apps that he htinks are best suited for your desktop | 04:10 |
batcoder-7 | i wish i would have installed an ubuntu server then installed xfce | 04:10 |
batcoder-7 | system would prolly run faster | 04:10 |
batcoder-7 | most likely some background shit running that i really dont need | 04:11 |
craigbass1976 | I 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 update | 04:11 |
batcoder-7 | i just said server because it comes clean btw | 04:12 |
batcoder-7 | i wouldnt run ubuntu as a server | 04:12 |
batcoder-7 | i use ubuntu stuff becasue its a faster release cycle and more suited for desktops | 04:12 |
batcoder-7 | but yet somewhat stable | 04:12 |
craigbass1976 | I 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 do | 04:15 |
craigbass1976 | R1cochet, so I broke down and just downloaded an icon, threw it into /usr/share/pixmaps/ and called it good. | 04:18 |
R1cochet | bummer | 04:20 |
craigbass1976 | I'll find theones I was looking for, next week when I'm trying to find a missing php file or something... | 04:21 |

TheSheep | craigbass1976: try /usr/share/icons | 04:23 |
craigbass1976 | yeah that's where I had to go. | 04:23 |
TheSheep | craigbass1976: in particular /usr/share/icons/hicolor | 04:23 |
TheSheep | that's the default fallback | 04:24 |
craigbass1976 | Oh my God.... See R1cochet? I knew they were right in front of me the whole time | 04:24 |
R1cochet | where? | 04:25 |
craigbass1976 | /usr/share/icons/hicolor | 04:26 |
R1cochet | lol | 04:26 |
craigbass1976 | On that note... I'm stepping out. Thanks folks. I've once again proven that sometimes I can't find my backside with both hands and a flashlight... | 04:28 |

PsynoKhi0 | get it to STOP spamming, sorry :) | 15:49 |
PsynoKhi0 | I suspect it's the reaon why my computer ends up hanging after a while once the module for the sound card has been loaded | 15:51 |

zesss | i just put xubunt on my laptop was wondering how to get the dispalay to read 1024x768 this highest on the list is 800x600 | 19:50 |
zesss | anyone there | 19:53 |
zesss | i just put xubunt on my laptop was wondering how to get the dispalay to read 1024x768 this highest on the list is 800x600 | 19:55 |
nikolam | zesss, I am not shure generally, but it is good thing to firstly select right graphics card driver/server | 20:04 |
zesss | i 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 screen | 20:07 |
nikolam | zesss, I had the same thing on every install, after installing/start of using right driver, new resolutions/frequencies appears | 20:07 |
zesss | where do i change the driver then | 20:08 |
nikolam | what graphics Notebook use? | 20:08 |
zesss | lynx silicon | 20:08 |
zesss | 4mb | 20:08 |
zesss | seems like the screen driver not the adapter | 20:09 |
lc2 | 4mb, feel the powah | 20:09 |
zesss | lol | 20:12 |
zesss | i know | 20:12 |
zesss | its only gonna be used for satalite radio at work | 20:12 |
lc2 | zesss: i had the same problem with my monitor, it wouldn't believe that it'd go above 1024x768 @ 56hz | 20:12 |
lc2 | zesss: i had to play with my xorg.conf for that to work | 20:12 |
zesss | ya lc2 so how did you fix it | 20:12 |
zesss | mine wont go above 800x600 @56hz | 20:13 |
zesss | im a noob | 20:13 |
lc2 | zesss: you'll have to find out the vertical/horizontal sync of your monitor (if there is even such a thing on LCDs, idk) | 20:13 |
zesss | dont know how to edit stuff | 20:13 |
lc2 | sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:14 |
lc2 | hold on, i'll show you the relevant parts of my xorg.conf | 20:14 |
nikolam | That would be xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion package maybe? | 20:14 |
zesss | nikolam: yup | 20:14 |
zesss | how do i install it | 20:14 |
nikolam | from synaptic | 20:15 |
lc2 | sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion | 20:15 |
nikolam | or sudo apt-get install /usr/share/man/man4/siliconmotion.4.gz | 20:15 |
nikolam | upss | 20:15 |
lc2 | http://pastebin.com/m781f8abe is what i used to get my monitor to work right | 20:16 |

zesss | k im confused | 20:17 |
zesss | in new | 20:17 |
zesss | to linux | 20:17 |
lc2 | zesss: don't do any of that stuff to do with xorg.conf, only start with that if using the proper driver doesn't work | 20:18 |
zesss | zesss: <-------------------------------------nooob | 20:18 |
lc2 | tl;dr do what nikolam said | 20:18 |
zesss | can i get a walkthrough | 20:18 |

lc2 | ^ o wow, modelines ;( | 20:26 |
nikolam | hi i found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=994901&highlight=siliconmotion+driver | 20:26 |
nikolam | seems like 8.10 driver for siliconmotion is not great because of some x.org changes | 20:26 |
zesss | ok looks like they never got it working | 20:32 |
nikolam | i never upgraded to 8.10. I stayed with 8.04LTS and happy with it.. | 20:33 |
nikolam | maybe older package of that could be installed? | 20:33 |
nikolam | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=siliconmotion&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all | 20:34 |
nikolam | maybe even with force option (sudo dpkg -i --force *.deb) | 20:35 |
nikolam | zesss, what version of xubuntu U use? | 20:36 |
zesss | 8.04 | 20:36 |
zesss | heroi n | 20:37 |
nikolam | lol | 20:37 |
zesss | :o) | 20:37 |
zesss | my laptop is a heroin addict | 20:37 |
nikolam | maybe you could install debian-reference package, many interesting things is in that documentation | 20:38 |
nikolam | like how to port package to different distribution | 20:38 |
nikolam | 2 commands dpkg-source -x *.dsc | 20:39 |
nikolam | and dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc | 20:39 |
nikolam | and maybe some dependencies | 20:40 |
nikolam | That is for making older or newer package for current install | 20:40 |
zesss | so i need to run a differnet distribution to get my screen full | 20:40 |
nikolam | nope, i suggest to make older version of package for your current distribution | 20:41 |
nikolam | and use that older version that hopefully works. | 20:41 |
nikolam | Did those modeline lines worked | 20:41 |
nikolam | also look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf what driver is selected for X | 20:42 |
lc2 | (p.s. be careful with modelines, you can physically destroy your monitor) | 20:42 |
zesss | you want me to run thos commands | 20:42 |
nikolam | no | 20:43 |
zesss | k | 20:43 |
nikolam | get debian-reference and see for yourself | 20:44 |
zesss | so those 2 commands you wrote you want me to write them in terminal | 20:44 |
nikolam | no | 20:44 |
zesss | :o~ | 20:44 |
zesss | k | 20:44 |
zesss | i havent | 20:44 |
nikolam | but you could do sudo apt-get install debian-reference | 20:45 |
nikolam | to get manuals etc | 20:45 |
zesss | nikolam: 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=uk | 20:46 |
nikolam | under System> Debian reference. After that look for porting package to stable system, under surviving tips | 20:46 |
zesss | lc2 posted that | 20:46 |
nikolam | Well he was saying that is for modeline line | 20:47 |
nikolam | maybe that would be enough | 20:47 |
zesss | oh so its something different | 20:47 |
nikolam | but one should take care with frequencies | 20:48 |
lc2 | yes, and that's the last resort, manually configuring your monitor | 20:48 |
zesss | but that thread is on my laptop | 20:48 |
nikolam | also you can always just use vesa driver in xorg.conf and forget about anything else | 20:48 |
zesss | okiedoke | 20:48 |
nikolam | then it is ok, if it is the same laptop :)) | 20:48 |
zesss | but i have no idea on how to apply | 20:49 |
zesss | and would prefer to try something that wont damage permanently | 20:49 |
nikolam | gksu mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:49 |
nikolam | or | 20:50 |
nikolam | sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:50 |
nikolam | Then save | 20:50 |
nikolam | And restart eather X with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace , or restart computer | 20:50 |
nikolam | also I think logout/login restarts X | 20:51 |
lc2 | zesss: show us your existing xorg.conf and we can merge those modelines etc into it | 20:51 |
zesss | ok | 20:51 |

zesss | i guess you need the link hey | 20:54 |
zesss | http://paste.ubuntu.com/103633/ | 20:54 |
lc2 | yeah | 20:56 |
lc2 | one sec | 20:56 |
lc2 | hey nikolam what's the name of the driver if you're putting it in an xorg.conf | 20:59 |
lc2 | zesss: because of your weak video card i'm gonna put you in 16-bit colour if that's okay | 21:01 |
zesss | it says trident for driver | 21:01 |
zesss | hey as long as its full screen | 21:01 |
lc2 | trident? | 21:01 |
lc2 | where does it say that? | 21:02 |
zesss | in the xconf file at the end of the page in the link you gave mee | 21:02 |
nikolam | http://linux.die.net/man/4/siliconmotion | 21:02 |
lc2 | yeah shouldn't it be siliconmotion though? | 21:02 |
lc2 | nikolam: what do you think sir | 21:03 |
nikolam | "lynx", "lynxe", "lynx3d", "lynxem", "lynxem+", "lynx3dm", "cougar3dr" depending on model u see | 21:03 |
lc2 | oh, i'll use siliconmotion | 21:03 |
zesss | yup | 21:03 |
lc2 | zesss: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103637/ | 21:03 |
lc2 | paste that into your xorg.conf | 21:03 |
lc2 | then go to applications -> settings -> settings manager, click "display", set to "default" | 21:04 |
nikolam | there is no siliconmotion on list i think | 21:04 |
lc2 | then ctrl+alt+backspace | 21:04 |
lc2 | nikolam: wait what | 21:04 |
lc2 | i thought we were using the siliconmotion driver here | 21:04 |
nikolam | Device is not siliconmotion, look at that manualpage | 21:04 |
lc2 | oh shi- | 21:04 |
lc2 | zesss: don't paste that then, lol | 21:04 |
zesss | ya i wasnt goin to | 21:05 |
nikolam | Oh yes it is I am wrong | 21:05 |

nikolam | ok, siliconmotion | 21:05 |
lc2 | zesss: yeah, you're good to go now | 21:05 |
zesss | k | 21:06 |
nikolam | read again http://linux.die.net/man/4/siliconmotion if i missed something | 21:06 |
lc2 | however, i'm not responsible for your monitor exploding | 21:06 |
lc2 | jsyk | 21:06 |
zesss | so we gonna try lc2 pasting then | 21:07 |
lc2 | go for it | 21:07 |
lc2 | but yeah, after you do that you *have* to go and set the res to "default", that way it'll use whatever the xorg default is, which will be your crafty and dangerous modeline | 21:08 |
lc2 | restart X, profit | 21:08 |
zesss | do i need the line numbers too | 21:09 |
lc2 | ! | 21:09 |
lc2 | no. | 21:09 |
lc2 | that'll hose X if you do, heh | 21:09 |
zesss | lol | 21:10 |
zesss | ok pasted now what | 21:10 |
zesss | save xorg | 21:11 |
lc2 | save it, then do what i said about setting the res to "default", then ctrl+alt+backspace | 21:11 |
nikolam | you are editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf now. save it | 21:11 |
zesss | how do i set to deafault | 21:12 |
lc2 | zesss: applications -> settings -> settings manager, click "display", set to "default" | 21:12 |
lc2 | it's at the top of the list | 21:12 |
lc2 | where all your other resolutions were | 21:13 |
zesss | k | 21:13 |

zesss | ok | 21:19 |
zesss | do you have to set a different mode cuz its lcd not a monitor | 21:20 |
lc2 | no, i don't think so | 21:21 |
lc2 | gimme a se | 21:21 |
lc2 | +c | 21:21 |
zesss | your deafualt depth is 24 | 21:22 |
zesss | not 16 | 21:23 |
lc2 | yeah i figured it would be OK | 21:23 |
lc2 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/103643/ | 21:24 |
lc2 | paste that into your xorg.conf instead | 21:24 |
lc2 | save, restart as before | 21:24 |
zesss | how do i get the xorg to come up again | 21:25 |
lc2 | sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 21:25 |
lc2 | OH SHIT | 21:27 |

lc2 | oh shi-- | 21:28 |

lc2 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/103644/ | 21:29 |

zesss | yuppp | 21:29 |
lc2 | hahaha wow | 21:29 |
zesss | full screen | 21:29 |
zesss | what was the mistake | 21:29 |
zesss | i can change it | 21:29 |
lc2 | strange because line 49 of that config file should have broke it | 21:29 |
lc2 | :D | 21:29 |
lc2 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/103644/ | 21:29 |
lc2 | is what it should look like | 21:29 |
zesss | no 60hz is what it runs at in windows | 21:30 |
zesss | need the command for the config file again | 21:31 |
lc2 | eh | 21:31 |
lc2 | i'm not sure that's necessary, if it works then leave it | 21:31 |
zesss | ok | 21:31 |
zesss | ya it works | 21:31 |
lc2 | i was pleasantly surprised by that | 21:31 |
zesss | well good i could enlighten you | 21:32 |
zesss | thanks for your help | 21:32 |
zesss | is there anyway i can get my network to speed up with xubuntu | 21:32 |
zesss | kinda slow at getting updates | 21:32 |
zesss | im on 10mb/s connection and i get 12kb/s getting updates | 21:33 |
lc2 | hm | 21:33 |
lc2 | i doubt that's something linux is doing wrong, it's more likely to be a bottleneck elsewhere | 21:34 |
zesss | 200mb of updates | 21:34 |
lc2 | ouch ;( | 21:35 |
lc2 | are you sure it's not the servers being slow? | 21:35 |
lc2 | i.e. have you tried downloading any other file from somewhere else | 21:35 |
zesss | internet and everything else seems fast | 21:35 |
zesss | havent tried to download anyhting yet | 21:35 |
lc2 | zesss: try it, so we can narrow things down | 21:36 |
zesss | where can i download something | 21:36 |
zesss | for ubuntu | 21:36 |
lc2 | just download any old random file bigger than a few mb | 21:36 |
zesss | k | 21:36 |
zesss | k | 21:38 |
zesss | its just the updates | 21:39 |
lc2 | zesss: figures | 21:39 |
lc2 | okay go to applications -> system -> software sources | 21:40 |
zesss | so do i still have to add locations to install programs | 21:40 |
zesss | ok | 21:41 |
zesss | done | 21:41 |
lc2 | under "download from", go to "Other" | 21:41 |
lc2 | and try a different mirror from there | 21:41 |
zesss | so if i want to add vlc to my machine i add it to the third party list | 21:42 |
lc2 | zesss: no, you should just be able to apt-get install vlc | 21:42 |
lc2 | or rather, sudo apt-get install vlc | 21:43 |
zesss | k | 21:43 |
zesss | ohhhh | 21:43 |
lc2 | same for most other popular packages | 21:43 |
zesss | i have no sound | 21:43 |
lc2 | zesss: o noes ;\ | 21:43 |
zesss | :~ | 21:43 |
zesss | it sees the sound card but i dont see a volume control | 21:44 |
lc2 | that's because you don't have one unless you add it | 21:45 |
zesss | wooot thats a good mirror 500kb/s | 21:45 |
zesss | ya im adding it | 21:46 |
zesss | i forgot this is still in oem mode | 21:46 |
lc2 | :D | 21:46 |
zesss | ubuntu kinda feels like old macintosh | 21:47 |
lc2 | i'm very fond of it | 21:48 |
zesss | k installed volume control now where is it | 21:49 |
lc2 | right click on your taskbar at the top, "add new item", "volume control" | 21:50 |
zesss | sweet | 21:51 |
zesss | so to install apps i goto add remove applications? | 21:51 |
lc2 | that's one way of doing it, yes | 21:51 |
zesss | vlc dont show in there | 21:52 |
lc2 | if you already know the name of the package, you do: sudo apt-get install packagenamehere | 21:52 |
zesss | k | 21:52 |
zesss | i found it had to click all | 21:52 |
zesss | doi | 21:52 |
lc2 | sudo apt-get install vlc | 21:52 |
Tmob | anyone using xubuntu on a netbook here? | 21:53 |
zesss | yup | 21:53 |
Tmob | hi zesss, i just bought a Dell mini 9, but i can't find a USB download | 21:53 |

Tmob | http://regmedia.co.uk/2008/05/29/dell_mini_inspiron_02.jpg | 21:54 |
lc2 | Tmob: uh it's possible but it looks pretty convoluted | 21:55 |
lc2 | http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/11/07/ubuntu-from-your-flash-drive-easier-than-ever-before/ | 21:55 |
lc2 | and it still requires downloading the ISO, so whatever | 21:55 |

zesss | err | 21:56 |
