[00:00] user name is router name wrt54xxx or somthing and psword is admin [00:01] I'd help, noobstian, but I've set the scrollback to a rediculously low level and (so) I can't see what your original problem was. Could you rephrase it into a few words? [00:01] hello, I just installed ubuntu jaunty for the first time on my compaq presario cq40 laptop, and i'm having some trouble, i'm only able to connect to thee wireless connection on gnome and theres no sound onthe computr, i just installed the kubuntu-desktop and now when i logged onto gnome theres an icon on the desktop that says home.desktop and i'm afraid to erase it [00:04] can you install koffice 2.0.1 without installing kde 4.3? [00:04] noobstian, in reality, hardware either works, and you get on with sh*t, or it doesn't and you do some WORK, getting it to work. Are you ready for that? === greguniverse is now known as greg_universe [00:05] as for the desktop file, delete that, if you really must. but ask yourself, "Do I really need to delete this file?" [00:05] yes [00:06] as in i want to make it work [00:06] is that yes to the you beaing ready to WORK, read through manuals, learn shell commands and all that? [00:06] yes [00:06] good man! (or woman) === Sevis_ is now known as Sevis [00:06] penis [00:06] i keep getting firefox 3.5 updates everyday :( [00:07] In your shoes, my first port of call would be google. Check to see if someone else has the *exact* same setup as you. There is a high chance of this. Use Google Linux. [00:07] cor: yeah, getting a toshiba nb205 working was a pain [00:07] but your pain can save someone elses!# [00:07] many many people's [00:08] ok im on google linux [00:08] thank the lord for search engines! [00:08] what am i looking for here [00:08] just google your exact model number, and ubuntu [00:08] then, if nothing looks good, try without the ubuntu [00:09] for the modem or the laptop? [00:09] cor: had to use the omnibook module and brute force the ectype option (ectype=12, finally) to get bluetooth working as well as enable wifi without windows (software killswitch problem) [00:09] noobstian: are you using kubuntu or ubuntu? [00:09] then get specific, adding terms for your hardware, using the exact strings you see in dmesg [00:09] ouch! [00:09] be back later [00:09] i installed ubuntu then kubuntu desktop but now im on gnome [00:10] My other laptop is flawless in all distros. It's cuz it's a cheap laptop, I guess, a lot of them around. Linux is always painless on it. On this thing. Pfff! [00:10] i only got one result [00:10] for a different model [00:10] http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-78886-installing-ubuntu-linux-in-compaq-cq40-133tu [00:10] the first four digitsof the model are the same tho [00:11] Okay, better than nuffink. Check for relevant info. If not, you'll want to skip ubuntu references and just aim for your hardware on Linux. [00:11] im new to irc. how do i find and log on to other chats [00:11] BigBuzzard, depends on the client [00:11] cor: took a few days to figure out I needed the omnibook module (it worked for a different toshiba laptop, so I just guessed it might work, even though nobody had tried it on that system [00:12] BigBuzzard, inside you home folder in .NameOfClient/logs is a good bet [00:12] cor: I still haven't gotten sound working out of the speaker (headphones work, though) [00:12] cor: the wiki still says the only way to get wifi to work is to enable it with ctrl-f8 in doze, though [00:12] Everything we do, so long as it's documented somewhere, is worth it. Keep at it, dude! [00:13] cor: any idea how you would edit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks/ToshibaNB205? [00:14] cor: the rest of the results when taking ubntu out were just adds [00:15] noobstian, Well, that's always a good place to start! It looks like you're going to have to get generic! [00:15] ok... [00:15] Zxcvb, dunno. I've not visited. I'll check it out. [00:15] what should i look for now [00:16] Looks like you need to be logged in to see edit controls [00:16] cor: ok, I'll make an account later [00:16] cor: my info is on the forum post for the nb205 currently [00:17] im not logged in? [00:17] noobstian, which piece of hardware you want working first? [00:17] noobstian, that was for Zxcvb [00:17] the laptop? [00:17] i mean [00:17] the sound [00:17] sound card? [00:17] noobstian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:17] right, which sound card is it? [00:17] how do i check that on a terminal? [00:17] I usually start with dmesg [00:18] http://kubuntu.pastebin.ca/1530013 [00:20] woah! [00:21] *reading through that data* [00:22] No obvious sign of sound card [00:22] there was sound when i had vista i swear [00:22] did you say you get sound in your headphones? [00:22] no no, on the laptops speakers [00:22] huh? [00:23] i swear, it came with vista on it and it had sound [00:23] sure, but this isn't Vista [00:23] sure [00:23] On Ubuntu, do you get sound from *anywhere*? [00:23] nope [00:23] k [00:24] noobstian, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/364706/+viewstatus [00:25] You should post there === sarah is now known as Guest36384 [00:27] cor, so what do i do, to post there?

[00:35] pretty much, yeah. and don't worry about sounding foolish, I never let it stop me [00:36] you'll also want to look at the three outputs he provided, and do the two you haven't yet done [00:36] ok i just posted [00:36] and in there, look for the exact model of your sound card so you can, in the meantime, get yours working [00:37] inside the two output files, I mean. [00:37] so do i type lsmod into the terminal? [00:37] yup: sudo lsmod [00:38] a couple of links for you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [00:38] actually, that'll do for now. ;o) [00:39] also, seriously, have you asked on #ubuntu? there might be a CQ40 owner there! [00:39] cor http://kubuntu.pastebin.ca/1530030 [00:42] just asked in there [00:43] is there in repository any web development application? something similar to Frontpage? [00:45] woah! another list! I see sound modules loaded, so it must have picked up your sound card. Is it not listed in the system preferences? I can't be specific cuz I don't know gnome [00:45] EagleScreen, yes, a few. [00:45] a "wysiwyg" editor [00:45] on my system preferences? [00:46] hold on [00:46] I dunno what Gnome calls it, in KDE it would be system settings [00:46] default mixer tracks [00:46] and there's a dropdown list [00:46] EagleScreen, do a search in your package manager. I can't recommend one or another, but I know there's a few [00:47] on the devices [00:47] noobstian, I'd mess around in there for a while before recompiling drivers [00:47] like pick different options of everything and ttest for sound? [00:48] Hello. I have problems with sound in flash movies, running Ubuntu 9.04 with KDE 4.3. Is there a common solution to this? [00:48] yeah, switch everything! try different players, that sorta thing. [00:49] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting <<< thats a good link for checking out your sound [00:49] I wouldn't know what to look for. It works fine in Gnome, and Amarok works fine as well. [00:52] cor: none of them work [00:52] eitreach, is that flv files? [00:52] pulseaudio, alsa, oss, etc [00:52] weird [00:53] cor: yeah.

I tried to update my nvidia drivers to 190.x but didn't do it cleanly... now after hours of messing with command line, I finally got back to kdm [07:02] problem is, kdm logs in fine, but it just "stays still" at the blue default wallpaper, nothing else starts [07:02] any hint what could be causing it? [07:03] Look at /var/log/Xorg.log.0 and see if there are any error messages [07:03] I dont think ive seen any last time lemme check again [07:04] The file is /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:05] http://pastebin.com/m66a27218 [07:05] full file [07:05] xorg.conf is the one generated by nvidia's installer [07:05] (i downgraded back to 185.18.30) [07:09] look at ~/.xsession-errors to [07:09] checking [07:10] nothing special, just Start IM through /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default.

[07:22] i remember messing with that a while ago [07:22] kwin is the new manager [07:23] I mean a system-wide service editor [07:23] the /etc/init.d/kdm is the dameon [07:23] ya but i thought there was a services manager [07:24] I don't know if there is a default one but you can use sysv-rc-conf [07:26] ah great [07:26] Do you have any unreachable nfs mounted [07:28] mrh0057__: Nope [07:29] how do i add an application to run once i log into kubuntu [07:30] /notice Adys sorry I don't think I can help you further.

[08:04] guess i'll reboot. Will most likely solve it, firefox acts weird sometimes. [08:17] What's wrong with the forums? [08:26] Sigh.
