[00:18] hi [00:39] 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] rather it locks up when playing sound for a while [00:40] cat /proc/interrupts shows the second ide channel throwing lots of interrupts [00:40] the cdrom player isn't mounted and I commented out the line in fstab [00:43] the computer ran fine in fiesty and gutsy, and other distros on the hdd's partitions run flawlessly too [00:44] any suggestion? [01:00] 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? [01:19] 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 ! === owen9376 is now known as Guest59410 [03:43] major problem my system wont boot wiht my lite on dvd write plugged in [03:43] plugged in i mean connectd to the ide cable [03:43] it stops booting and gives me a busy box terminal etc [03:47] does ur dvd share same cable as hdd? [03:49] batcoder-7: ??? [03:49] no [03:49] it does not [03:49] and if i plug a cd bruner into that same cable it boots just fine [03:51] ata or sata? [03:52] are the jumpers set? [03:53] the jumppers are set to master [03:54] i can boot other live cd's just fine [03:54] if i try to boot it off my HD with no cd in it [03:54] it does the same problem [03:54] if i try to boot an xubuntu live cd [03:54] same issue [03:54] 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] so are u trying to boot from cd or hdd? [03:55] craigbass1976: openoffice writer? [03:55] R1cochet, yes [03:56] I thought right clicking on it in the menu might give me some options, but it just fires the program up [03:56] R1cochet, hd but it wont boot wiht my dvd drive plugged in [03:56] this is crappy [03:56] craigbass1976: from synaptic? [03:56] i need to brun a dvd [03:56] R1cochet, it's installed, I'm just trying to put a launcher on my panel [03:56] batcoder-7: is it a PATA or SATA? [03:56] wondering where the png is [03:57] its not Sata [03:57] craigbass1976: 1 min [03:57] so i guess Psata if thats what a stanrd ide is ? [03:57] ii think i can find it [03:57] R1cochet, no rush, give them a hand first. [03:57] yea PATA [03:58] this sucks [03:58] cant even boot my system with a dvd drive in it [03:58] works fine if i try a cd rw though [03:58] check ur bios for boot order [03:58] hmm weird [03:58] batcoder-7: u might want to check in ##hardware [04:00] craigbass1976: OOo installs to /opt/openoffice..... [04:00] try looking in there [04:01] criminy... [04:02] i know man nut im looking also [04:03] how much lighter does the current xfce run compared to gnome [04:03] i know its a heated argument but a rough estimate ? [04:05] no idea i liked xfce more [04:05] they say its ighter [04:05] but [04:05] some people are sayng its just the same now [04:06] 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] yea thats what ive come across so far [04:06] batcoder-7, I just wiped my laptop over Christmas. Had regular ubuntu, now running xub. Much faster [04:06] craigbass1976: what version of OOo r u using [04:07] R1cochet, 2.4 [04:07] craigbass1976, might be due to just a nice fresh system ? [04:07] i dunno i assume its lighter but by how much i dont know [04:07] batcoder-7, I don't know... This aint windows, so stuff tends to stay pretty clean anyway. [04:08] If I need something faster, isn't there a fluxbuntu out there? [04:08] Or I'll just run no GUI and vi everything... [04:09] elinks on the net... oh yeah [04:09] i think there is a fluxbox [04:09] fluxubuntu is not like [04:09] R1cochet, I haven't used fluxbox in a couple years [04:09] xubuntu etc [04:09] poorly supported [04:10] very slow release cycle [04:10] btw its all using the same repo's here [04:10] all thats being done is some guy is installing apps that he htinks are best suited for your desktop [04:10] i wish i would have installed an ubuntu server then installed xfce [04:10] system would prolly run faster [04:11] most likely some background shit running that i really dont need [04:11] 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 [04:12] i just said server because it comes clean btw [04:12] i wouldnt run ubuntu as a server [04:12] i use ubuntu stuff becasue its a faster release cycle and more suited for desktops [04:12] but yet somewhat stable [04:15] 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 [04:18] R1cochet, so I broke down and just downloaded an icon, threw it into /usr/share/pixmaps/ and called it good. [04:20] bummer [04:21] I'll find theones I was looking for, next week when I'm trying to find a missing php file or something... [04:23] craigbass1976: [04:23] http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/OOo20MimeType.html [04:23] craigbass1976: try /usr/share/icons [04:23] yeah that's where I had to go. [04:23] craigbass1976: in particular /usr/share/icons/hicolor [04:24] that's the default fallback [04:24] Oh my God.... See R1cochet? I knew they were right in front of me the whole time [04:25] where? [04:26] /usr/share/icons/hicolor [04:26] lol [04:28] 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... [07:14] hi all === patches is now known as patches_ [09:05] where do i put fonts i dl'ed from gnome-look?

[15:49] get it to STOP spamming, sorry :) [15:51] 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 [16:30] hi [16:30] how do i delete a saved session? [16:37] gabkdlly, yes, but nothing works [16:38] gabkdlly, do one need some kernel module loaded too? I cannot get the SHM to work [17:18] has anyone got online banking to work in xubuntu?

[17:36] There are banks here that have web home banking solutions that only work with IE6.. sad I know [17:58] hallo can someone tell me whats the best driver for xubuntu 8.1 and firegl t2 mobile on a thinkpad [19:36] sup guys [19:36] i can't find a way to tell pam not to ask for password when loggin in [19:36] from console [19:36] (i'm not using gdm, xdm, kdm *dm or whatever) [19:37] you want no password on your system? [19:37] just at boot, i need it to boot without my intervention [19:37] :) [19:38] i found some NO_PASSWORD_CONSOLE deprecated settings, but i couldn't find how to do it editing pam settings [19:38] i wonder what they do with live distro to login without password [19:38] they use gdm, i don't use it :p [19:50] i just put xubunt on my laptop was wondering how to get the dispalay to read 1024x768 this highest on the list is 800x600 [19:53] anyone there [19:55] i just put xubunt on my laptop was wondering how to get the dispalay to read 1024x768 this highest on the list is 800x600 [20:04] zesss, I am not shure generally, but it is good thing to firstly select right graphics card driver/server [20:07] 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] zesss, I had the same thing on every install, after installing/start of using right driver, new resolutions/frequencies appears [20:08] where do i change the driver then [20:08] what graphics Notebook use? [20:08] lynx silicon [20:08] 4mb [20:09] seems like the screen driver not the adapter [20:09] 4mb, feel the powah [20:12] lol [20:12] i know [20:12] its only gonna be used for satalite radio at work [20:12] zesss: i had the same problem with my monitor, it wouldn't believe that it'd go above 1024x768 @ 56hz [20:12] zesss: i had to play with my xorg.conf for that to work [20:12] ya lc2 so how did you fix it [20:13] mine wont go above 800x600 @56hz [20:13] im a noob [20:13] 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] dont know how to edit stuff [20:14] sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:14] hold on, i'll show you the relevant parts of my xorg.conf [20:14] That would be xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion package maybe? [20:14] nikolam: yup [20:14] how do i install it [20:15] from synaptic [20:15] sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion [20:15] or sudo apt-get install /usr/share/man/man4/siliconmotion.4.gz [20:15] upss [20:16] http://pastebin.com/m781f8abe is what i used to get my monitor to work right [20:16] lc2, that is nvidia but he will ged idea [20:17] yeah, tweak to suit your setup [20:17] sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion [20:17] k im confused [20:17] in new [20:17] to linux [20:18] 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: <-------------------------------------nooob [20:18] tl;dr do what nikolam said [20:18] can i get a walkthrough [20:18] zesss: open a terminal, type what nikolam said, then reboot [20:19] ok [20:20] i get this [20:20] xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion is already the newest version. [20:20] xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion set to manually installed. [20:20] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 163 not upgraded. [20:20] hm [20:21] is there a generic monitor i can install that would do 1024x768 [20:22] should i update with all those updates and see what it does [20:22] i got 167 updates [20:22] zesss: wow [20:23] lol [20:23] zesss: well, it doesn't hurt to update, but that's not causing the problem [20:23] old version of xubuntu [20:23] 8.04 [20:23] hardy? [20:23] yup [20:23] ah me too [20:23] which laptop is it? [20:23] 8.10 wont work [20:24] thinkpad i series 1171 series 2 [20:24] p3 650mhz 40gb hd [20:25] ya it wont even display 640x480 [20:26] 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 [20:26] ^ o wow, modelines ;( [20:26] hi i found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=994901&highlight=siliconmotion+driver [20:26] seems like 8.10 driver for siliconmotion is not great because of some x.org changes [20:32] ok looks like they never got it working [20:33] i never upgraded to 8.10. I stayed with 8.04LTS and happy with it.. [20:33] maybe older package of that could be installed? [20:34] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=siliconmotion&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all [20:35] maybe even with force option (sudo dpkg -i --force *.deb) [20:36] zesss, what version of xubuntu U use? [20:36] 8.04 [20:37] heroi n [20:37] lol [20:37] :o) [20:37] my laptop is a heroin addict [20:38] maybe you could install debian-reference package, many interesting things is in that documentation [20:38] like how to port package to different distribution [20:39] 2 commands dpkg-source -x *.dsc [20:39] and dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc [20:40] and maybe some dependencies [20:40] That is for making older or newer package for current install [20:40] so i need to run a differnet distribution to get my screen full [20:41] nope, i suggest to make older version of package for your current distribution [20:41] and use that older version that hopefully works. [20:41] Did those modeline lines worked [20:42] also look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf what driver is selected for X [20:42] (p.s. be careful with modelines, you can physically destroy your monitor) [20:42] you want me to run thos commands [20:43] no [20:43] k [20:44] get debian-reference and see for yourself [20:44] so those 2 commands you wrote you want me to write them in terminal [20:44] no [20:44] :o~ [20:44] k [20:44] i havent [20:45] but you could do sudo apt-get install debian-reference [20:45] to get manuals etc [20:46] 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] under System> Debian reference. After that look for porting package to stable system, under surviving tips [20:46] lc2 posted that [20:47] Well he was saying that is for modeline line [20:47] maybe that would be enough [20:47] oh so its something different [20:48] but one should take care with frequencies [20:48] yes, and that's the last resort, manually configuring your monitor [20:48] but that thread is on my laptop [20:48] also you can always just use vesa driver in xorg.conf and forget about anything else [20:48] okiedoke [20:48] then it is ok, if it is the same laptop :)) [20:49] but i have no idea on how to apply [20:49] and would prefer to try something that wont damage permanently [20:49] gksu mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:50] or [20:50] sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:50] Then save [20:50] And restart eather X with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace , or restart computer [20:51] also I think logout/login restarts X [20:51] zesss: show us your existing xorg.conf and we can merge those modelines etc into it [20:51] ok [20:51] # xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file) [20:51] # [20:51] # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using [20:51] # values from the debconf database.
