[02:54] Anon http://vundofix.atribune.org/ [02:55] ok [02:55] Anon if you have a recent ubuntu it will probably mount the partition without extra effort [02:55] even on usb [02:55] just got 9.4 last night [02:56] Anon http://www.atribune.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=25 [02:56] plug in the drive and type "mount" and see what it says [02:56] that has nothing to do with anti virus but it is a nice tool [02:56] all in one to get rid of junk files [02:56] ok [02:56] brb [02:57] im having some strange problems with my wireless card, i am connected but only at 1mbps and im getting a lot of packet loss if i ping yahoo,com for example, %16 loss first time 36% second time with frequest wifi disconnects. [02:59] MTec007, is this a sudden problem, or is it after you did some system changes(updates, etc.) [03:05] i never used my card on linux before [03:05] only windows [03:05] MTec007_, what card is it? model, etc [03:05] the wired works fine (even wired to router) [03:07] its a dell dont know the model though i can check if i can figure out how to 'eject' it form linux [03:07] lspci [03:08] MTec007_, are you on a wired connection? [03:08] to figure out what card it is [03:08] MTec007_, I'm feeling its a driver error. find the windows driver for your card, and use ndiswrapper to set it up. [03:08] i am right now, i cant use the internet on my wireless [03:09] plenty of tuttorials around. [03:10] 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03) but thats not what it actually is i guess just what the OS thinks it is? [03:10] thats what the card says it is [03:10] ok [03:11] MTec007_, are you using the b43legacy driver? [03:11] dell might have linux support for it though, check their site [03:11] doubtfully this card is from 2005ish [03:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:11] I have a Dell TrueConnect using the b43legacy driver [03:12] J_Litewski, NULL(info.linux.driver) is what connection information says [03:12] I get that too [03:13] see i have already been to that site before i upgraded to 9.04 (didnt get it working) [03:14] i dont think i fully understand what the website is telling me to do or how to do it [03:15] that took a long time, lol === MTec007_ is now known as MTec007 [03:19] i dont think i got that b43-fwcutter to work that may be the problem i dont really know, i am new to linux and that just really isnt explained very well [03:19] try it [03:19] it is a 43xx card [03:20] like i said, i dont understand the instructions on the site, i couldnt get it to work [03:21] have you tried ndiswrapper? [03:21] just go into the Hardware Drivers in Applications/System and enable it from there [03:23] meatcar, no J_Litewski, broadcom b43 wireless driver is activated and in use [03:23] ah [03:24] MTec007 whats the first thing you didnt understand on the fwcutter site [03:24] i would have to find the site again i dont remember it [03:25] <[AfZ]TomServo1> if anyone's here, i'd like to know if i made a big mistake in upgrading to 9.04 [03:26] [AfZ]TomServo1, to answer your question, we need to know your situation [03:26] <[AfZ]TomServo1> actually, it's working fine for the most part [03:27] <[AfZ]TomServo1> but i'm getting no sound whatsoever [03:27] <[AfZ]TomServo1> seems like a common issue [03:27] are you using xubuntu or kubuntu or ubuntu [03:27] <[AfZ]TomServo1> xubuntu [03:28] i hate setting up sound. its always a pain [03:28] check all the possible sound options [03:28] trial and error always works. [03:28] :P [03:28] <[AfZ]TomServo1> i'm using a usb headset, apparently known as "C-Media" something or other cause that's the driver that worked for me in 8.10 [03:28] lspci? [03:28] <[AfZ]TomServo1> tried reloading alsa [03:28] <[AfZ]TomServo1> it's showing up in lsusb [03:28] that would be lsusb [03:29] whoops [03:30] <[AfZ]TomServo1> so the headset appears to be recognized and loaded in alsa [03:30] <[AfZ]TomServo1> just to make sure, can you tell me the proper cmd to list all sound devices in alsa? [03:31] MTec007, ndiswrapper howtos: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Networking/NdisWrapper_The_Ultimate_Guide/ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [03:31] ooh yes if it is alsa, you might have to run alsamixer once and unmute stuff [03:31] <[AfZ]TomServo1> i looked in alsamixer already, but i'll double check [03:32] unmute the master and pcm bars, and set volume about 80% [03:32] gtg yall, read a book for english for tomorrow. good luck. [03:32] night [03:34] <[AfZ]TomServo1> there's an option in alsamixer called "pcm capt", do you know what it does [03:34] capture sound i think [03:34] from some other input [03:38] <[AfZ]TomServo1> where do i adjust the overall sound output? [03:38] <[AfZ]TomServo1> master sound, in other words [03:39] should be the first bar on the left, called master [03:39] or install the volume control on your taskbar [03:39] <[AfZ]TomServo1> well there's no master volume control option available for my headphones [03:40] hmm [03:40] do you have another sound card in the system? maybe that is confusing things [03:41] in the sound settings things, there is sometimes a place to choose which device is default [03:41] <[AfZ]TomServo1> yeah i have an onboard intel sound device [03:43] anyupdate yet? [03:43] <[AfZ]TomServo1> do you mean the "default sound card" thing [03:43] er..anyone update from 8.10? [03:43] sure [03:44] <[AfZ]TomServo1> i did...and now my sound doesn't work [03:44] dsmith_ i dist-upgraded from 8.10 [03:44] run smooth [03:44] ? [03:44] how do I get back files I accidently deleted with rm command ? [03:44] yep [03:44] uhoh [03:45] rocko: reinstall from backup [03:45] um [03:45] you ARE backing up aren't you>? [03:45] I don't have any backups [03:45] what filkes? [03:45] [AfZ]TomServo1 can you select one of the other devices in that list [03:45] rocko thats why i said use echo first ;) [03:45] <[AfZ]TomServo1> yeah i can [03:46] um no that is not what happened keb [03:46] I used a different thing someone suggest in another channel [03:46] :/ [03:46] <[AfZ]TomServo1> there's my intel onboard device, "Audio", and Pulseaudio [03:46] and it deleted my whole folder [03:46] oic [03:46] well pulsaudio isnt used by xubuntu [03:46] well the folder I was doing it on which was human [03:46] rocko sometimes deletions are in the Trash folder [03:47] nothing is in the trash [03:48] rocko if the files are really important, shutdown the computer asap and hook up the drive to another system and do data recover y stuff [03:48] rocko: what folder [03:48] thanks all i guess i will work on it more tommorow. for now i am off to bed. [03:48] night [03:48] * dsmith_ about to update 8.10 to 9.04 [03:48] hehe [03:49] dsmith_ make sure to read the release notes first ;) [03:49] anyone ever notice that you can shove a usb dongle into your ethernet port? [03:49] lol [03:49] keb, had issues? [03:49] yep done that :/ [03:49] not me, but i didnt have a intel chipset [03:50] [AfZ]TomServo1 any luck with Audio driver [03:50] *device [03:51] <[AfZ]TomServo1> no [03:52] <[AfZ]TomServo1> do you know how to disable hardware [03:52] <[AfZ]TomServo1> i guess the intel sound could be conflicting(although i doubt it) [03:52] onboard can be disabled from bios setup page [03:53] <[AfZ]TomServo1> i would do that, but i'm dual booting with windows [03:54] <[AfZ]TomServo1> and it was never a problem with 8.10 [04:02] * dsmith_ installes his updates [04:02] making ready [04:02] [AfZ]TomServo1 strangely the only sound control i could find on my system was in Services [04:04] <[AfZ]TomServo1> hmm alsa-utils is the only deactivated service in Services [04:04] mine was activated [04:08] <[AfZ]TomServo1> i'm gonna try reinstalling alsa [04:12] good luck [04:15] need to expand mr root partition [04:37] how can i make a bootable xubuntu flash drive?

[05:15] keb, how can you access samba server from another pc running linux without using fusesmb ? [05:17] yes [05:17] yes I did. [05:19] ipressthebuttons yes that website looks good, but only change the stuff in xorg.conf related to Monitor, Modes and Screen [05:20] and keep backups [05:22] I backed up the original config... [05:23] do you ahve the exact same monitor as that fellow [05:24] I do not believe I do. [05:25] hmm then the modeline will not work, and could blow up your hardware [05:25] blow UP? [05:25] well it might overload something [05:25] >_> [05:25] I 'll just shut the computer off and keep it that way then [05:26] best to have a look at that log file, see what modes are supported [05:26] when you arent tired and stuff [05:26] xorg.0.log you mean? [05:26] /var/log/Xorg.0.log [05:27] http://h1.ripway.com/ipressthebuttons/Xorg.0.log [05:28] that's the file D: [05:33] did the monitor come with a manual [05:33] it's a laptop. [05:33] lol.

[05:41] ipressthebuttons did you try all this stuff https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome [05:41] openchrome? [05:41] yes thats what you have [05:42] confusing [05:42] what is this page telling me to do [05:42] xarcade_ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=299708 [05:42] how do you activate the universe and multiverse repositories again [05:42] i found it solution here -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7141244 [05:43] ipressthebuttons in System -> Software Sources [05:43] keb: thanks [05:43] and then [05:44] is there anything I should put in third-party software [05:44] hmm. no perhaps better to try this first: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [05:44] and choose openchrome [05:45] I don't know if I typed that right [05:45] when I did that, it just made a copy of xorg.conf [05:46] it didnt ask you about anything? [05:46] nope. [05:46] is that bad? [05:46] is there a program that will tell me what codec i need to play a video? [05:46] ipressthebuttons maybe not [05:46] R1cochet mplayer [05:47] xubuntu is functioning, and I have internet... I just want to be able to see my entire screen :/ [05:47] if I can't fix my resolution, is there maybe a way to scroll on the screen? [05:47] oh so its just the virtual screen you want to change? [05:48] was using that to play a video and it says: could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound [05:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=209474 should I try this? [05:50] ipressthebuttons yeah try adding a Virtual section to your xorg.conf which has a resolution that matches the real one [05:51] *Virtual line [05:51] should I just copy paste what that guy posted except put my screen's resolution? [05:51] not the whole thing, just add a Virtual line to your Subsection Display [05:52] the entire config is empty [05:52] oic [05:53] not empty [05:53] but [05:53] Section "Monitor" [05:53] Identifier "Configured Monitor" [05:53] stuff like that... [05:53] is there a Section Screen [05:54] yes [05:54] I put the subsection under that [05:54] should I save and restart and see if my computer doesn't blow up? [05:54] sure [05:54] is that a yes? [05:54] D: [05:54] it wont blow up, but dont use the highest resolutions there [05:54] unless you know your monitor can do that [05:54] aight. [05:55] well 1280x1024 is not unusual for a new laptop [05:55] 1024 768 is mine apparently [05:55] you could even leave out the modes line at first [05:55] I'm going to take my chances. [05:55] if I don't come back [05:55] I gave up and went to sleep.
