[17:44] I have Xubuntu 9.04 with Opera 9.64 but I can only see a big white square on the youtube pages. The flash plugin is installed and I can even hear the videos but I can't see anything.

I'm customizing my desktop, and when I move the top panel down to the bottom of the desktop, both panels dissapear, and I have to ctrl-alt+backspace, to regain control of the system. When I log back in, everything is ok, until I try to move the top panel again, what gives? [19:37] hi, any idea where i can find a driver for a ATI FireGL 9000? [19:38] or how i make this card work with xubuntu? [19:50] arr looks like i installed a wrong driver... now the display is all colored and cant recognize anything:/ how can i remove something with console? [20:27] kromar: if the hardware drivers window doesnt offer you any driver then there likely is none [20:27] there could be free / proprietary drivers for a more ancient / recent version of the kernel, though, kromar [20:27] but you should look for an #ati channel for such information [20:27] and where could i find one of these ancient drivers? [20:41] on ati's website, i guess.. i never downloaded ati drivers [20:42] kromar you should join #ati and ask them out [21:44] hi [21:44] remember the problem i had that my desktop wallpaper and other settings got reset after rebooting? [21:44] kromar: its very confusing [21:44] another "kromar" left 30 minutes ago [21:44] but yes i remember ;) [21:45] i guess that was me:D [21:45] okey :p [21:45] not the same hostname :D [21:45] well guess what, i reinstalled form the downloaded 9.04 (last time you told me to try it) and i have the same problem again:/ [21:45] hmm strange:O [21:46] It's your hardware then :| [21:46] you're in ext3 with a clean install from the liveCD, right ? [21:47] exactly... maybe the problem is that the wallpaper is on a different drive? (ntfs format) [21:56] how would i mount it and have it mount everytime i boot [21:56] ntfs window [21:57] !fstab [21:57] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [21:57] !mount [21:57] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [21:57] Explains it quite well. [21:57] I have a new install of 8.04 on my test box, and I can't change my keyboard layout, or move my panels around? [21:59] why wont ntfs-config tool work [21:59] keeps telling me this ** (ntfs-config:23610): WARNING **: /media/windows contains an invalid caracter. [21:59] you must choose a name, not a directory. [22:00] I had ubuntu installed on my test box, and I replaced it with Xubuntu. I didn't reformat /home, would the old setting from Ubuntu confict/confuse Xubuntu? [22:01] conflict [22:12] when my ntfs drives only get mounted when i access them then the mount entry is wrong? or is that how its supposed to be? [22:16] and why the heck cant i turn my sound up to 100%? i always need to open the properties and turn it up manually:/ [22:17] and if its on 100% and i change the volume over the panel icon it will max to 90% again.... [22:19] and even when everything is maxed its not very loud.. how can i boost the volume so its as loud as it should be? o_O [22:30] n2diy: no it should be ok [22:31] kromar: do you have the ntfs drive automounting in /etc/fstab ? [22:31] kromar: i think i asked you the last time if you were using ntfs/fat partitions.; :D [22:31] kromar: the 90% bug is fixed in xfce [22:31] kromar: it'll disappear in karmic [22:31] SiDi: i havent changed anything yet, its a fresh install [22:31] kromar: okey [22:32] SiDi: do i need to change the fstab manualy? [22:32] kromar: the reason may be that when the wallpaper is loaded, the ntfs partition isnt mounted by xfce yet, the solution is to put it in /etc/fstab so its mounted before [22:32] kromar: yes [22:32] !fstab [22:32] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [22:32] here are some resources [22:33] kromar: as for its not very loud, there are 2 clues : go to xfce4-mixer, properties, check every box, max out PCM / Headphones too (and maybe other tracks too) [22:33] and the second possibility is that your card model isnt exactly recognised, but we'll see this after fstab and after you checked the tracks [22:34] i already tested every slider, but anything other than front,speaker and master there is no change in volume [22:35] ok then [22:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [22:36] and at the bottom of the french doc there is a quite accurate list of most common models (read the english one first :p) http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/audio_intel_hda [22:37] ok ok first the fstab, that has priority^ [22:39] ok looks like there is only the floppy and dvd in fstab [22:42] indeed ;) [22:42] check the tuxfiles.org link above [22:42] it has examples as far as i recall [22:42] yeah im reading how to set up the other drives:D [22:43] i need to reboot, brb [22:43] kk [22:52] SiDi: can you take a look at this line and tell me if its correct? /dev/sdb1 /media/Seagate ntfs auto 0 1 [22:52] it looks ok [22:53] the mount point is correct like that? [22:53] turn "auto" into "defaults, auto" [22:53] yeh [22:53] type sudo mount -a to check [22:54] the folder exists like that in /media [22:54] i hope it does [22:55] any error appearing when you type the command ? [22:55] nope [22:55] nothing, just new line in the terminal [22:56] there is an entry in fstab like UUID=f53140ac-ee0a-4b08-8d4a-8e60d2d835de ..... is that my xubuntu partition? [22:59] gona reboot and see if it works [23:01] wohoo seems to work:D [23:02] arr but sound again at 0% [23:04] ookey :P [23:04] as for sound, open xfce4-mixer and unmute every track [23:04] !hda [23:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about hda [23:04] ffs [23:04] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [23:05] where is this mixer? is it the one in the control panel? [23:06] click the sound button in the panel [23:06] thx got it [23:06] gona read that page and see if it fixes my problem [23:07] btw why does blender not get updated in the package manager? its already v2.49a out and its still 2.48 in the downloader o_O [23:07] !info blender jaunty [23:07] blender (source: blender): Very fast and versatile 3D modeller/renderer. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.48a+dfsg-1ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 9881 kB, installed size 25480 kB [23:07] The way Ubuntu works : every release, all the packages are updated in the whole ubuntu repositories [23:08] by the meanwhile, only security fixes and sometimes important feature fixes are added to the updates [23:08] to avoid breaking working apps (even if it'd happen 1/1000 for 1/10000 users, its still annoying) [23:09] so you have several possibilities : 1) wait | 2) find a ubuntu repository for blender (https://launchpad.net/blender is a good start) | 3) download and compile source (bad idea) [23:09] why is compiling a bad idea? [23:11] because :] [23:11] well blender 2.49 is out for some month now if im not wrong... so how long will it take for the new version to be available? [23:11] because the deb installed with the package manager will also be managed by it [23:11] the correct way to go would be : 1) compile | 2) package | 3) install [23:11] and you dont wanna try 2) [23:12] kromar: as i said, it'll take up to 6 months [23:12] !info blender karmic [23:12] blender (source: blender): Very fast and versatile 3D modeller/renderer. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.48a+dfsg-1ubuntu3 (karmic), package size 9881 kB, installed size 25480 kB [23:12] It's actually gonna be done before 17th of august [23:12] but jaunty wont have it [23:13] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bleedingedge/+archive/ppa [23:13] by august 2.5 might be available... [23:16] if i download a packed blender, how do i install that? [23:16] before 17th of august, blender will pass from 2.48 to 2.##, ## being the last stable release [23:16] use the link above and install the PPA [23:17] thats a link to blender 2.45 [23:17] oh [23:17] didnt notice they stopped uploading [23:18] http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/ [23:18] download the ubuntu .deb [23:18] not the source [23:18] and then double click on the .deb file whenyou have i [23:18] t [23:18] oh didnt see that one:O [23:19] you think its possible to install the 32 and the 64 bit version? [23:24] install the one you need [23:24] if you're on a 32b install, use the 32b one [23:25] i normally work with the 64bit version but do some stuff for crysis from time to ttime and the exporter only works with the 32 bit version:/ [23:25] thats why im asking^ [23:26] it has no importance :) [23:26] 32/64 refers to your CPU's architecture [23:26] not to the files you generate [23:27] yeah but i prefer having some more ram available when rendering some huge scenes [23:31] hmm having some problems with the sound setup... [23:32] it says i should add the model to the end of sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, but the file is empty [23:32] so what exactly should be in that file? [23:33] alsa-base.conf [23:33] i'll update the wiki [23:34] also it says to search for the model in ALSA-Configuration.txt but i cant find my model in there [23:41] what model is it ? [23:42] Realtek ALC889A [23:44] why is it that when my default browser is opera the links in the Add/remove application will open firefox? [23:46] where does it say its default ? [23:46] Apps -> Params -> Favourite apps [23:47] Opera can claim to be default, but usually they epicly fail at implementing this kind of function [23:47] i acctually set the web browser in "Prefered Applications" [23:48] but thats a good idea to set it in opere, might acctually fix that^ [23:48] it wont [23:49] kromar: no idea for your browser [23:49] i know but cant hurt to try:O [23:49] if you want me to give you your model i need the WHOLE name of the chipset + laptop name [23:49] but why does the link open with ff crap when i set the default to opera? [23:50] its not a laptop o_O [23:50] is that howto for laptops? [23:51] its howto for intel hda [23:51] usually they're in laptops :P [23:51] ok i dont have any intel stuff in this system... [23:53] you do :P [23:53] where? [23:53] try this as a model ac97_quirk [23:53] inside your soundcard [23:54] 6track-dig usually works on many desktop mobos too [23:58] Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel
