[00:31] alsamixer is not working for me [00:36] you probably need to run alsaconf [00:38] command not found [00:39] woops alsactl [00:42] tells me to specify command [00:52] my sound card cannt be found, yet it is listed in lspci [00:56] is the sound module supposed to be in xorg.conf? [01:34] hi, does anyone know anything about xubuntu & wine? [04:59] when a computer beeps when the login screen pops up, that is from the soundcard right? [05:00] no thats from the mother boared [05:01] there a speaker for beeps usually used to send error messages [05:01] but xubuntu uses it when the login starts [05:01] can you help me, my sound card stopped working when i messed with my xorg.conf file [05:01] lspci shows it [05:01] xorg.conf is video [05:01] xorg is video [05:02] I don't know how it could mess up your sound [05:02] well, it stopped working some how =/ [05:02] i didnt have to install any drivers for it to work [05:03] xubuntu comes with alsa, so i went to package manager, reinstalled every packet and it still didnt help [05:09] wtf.... i went to reboot, booted from an earlier back up, and the sound is there and my video res is the same as well [05:09] since i booted to an earlier back up, will it boot into this each time maduser? [05:10] ah you have back up kernels in grub? [05:11] yeah [05:11] will it save to boot into this back up that has sound automatically? [05:12] no [05:13] so what do i have to do? [05:14] you can chose the back up at boot [05:15] but the no sound is part of a bigger error which I don't know how to fix [05:15] i cannt get rid of the others in grub? [05:16] so that it boots off this backup [05:21] maduser, since im using the backup wont it default to using this session? [05:23] I think so [05:23] but this is part of a bigger problem that I don't know how to fix [05:39] does anyone know how to get rid of grub entries that are corrupt? === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [14:18] Hello [06:11] having a lot of trouble [06:12] Trying to get xubuntu started up but disc is not readable [06:12] I used a burn program on my mac called simply 'Burn' [06:13] I browsed for xubuntu [06:13] mounted [06:13] burned [06:13] but not getting the new os installer recognized [06:13] please help [14:18] ..................

[14:58] partitioned i mean [14:58] PS3 [14:58] I know nothring about ps3, sorry, maybe try the forums or google [14:58] i have done all that [14:59] or maybe there is a ps3 channel [14:59] !ps [14:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about ps [14:59] hmm [14:59] !ps3 [14:59] Aside from i386 and amd64 platforms, Ubuntu is also available for alternate platforms. Playstation 3 ( support in #ubuntu-ps3 ) Apple PowerPC ( support in #ubuntu-ppc ) [14:59] just tell me if i have done anything wrong if i was putting this on a pc or something [14:59] exactly. [14:59] try #ubuntu-ps3 [15:00] thejayjetson_: we don't know [15:10] is there a secondary number i can try? [15:48] what do i need to do to have a script run at boot with admin rights? [15:51] put it in /etc/init.d === avvay is now known as lukinfore [15:52] & read man update-rc.d === awway is now known as lukinfore [17:15] hello, everyone.. i need some help with the evil blue screen thats shows up when something goes wrong with the boot [17:16] I'm new to ubuntu, and the only way i can get it to work is by inputting terminal commands into my start up list so that i have a desktop and pannels [17:18] also as a result my computer is now very slow and even somthing as low performance as this chat is freezing up [17:25] hello. i'm trying to create a liveusb with systemrescuecd and xubuntu livecd on it. at boot, i should be able to select which one to load via grub. [17:25] systemrescuecd works ok. xubuntu doesn't. the problem is i don't know which parameters to pass to casper [17:26] i mean only-ubiquity, quiet, splash, ... [17:26] * SiDi_ has no idea. [17:27] at the moment, menu.lst looks like this: http://dpaste.com/87359/ [17:32] shouldnt you have a root=/dev/sd## quiet splash after that ? [17:32] may you don't need to use "root" parameter? I have "quiet" after each string of OS === SiDi_ is now known as SiDi [17:43] pi00100100, you should add "boot" parameter. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#GNU_002fLinux [17:44] boot is only needed in interactive mode i think [17:44] selecting the right os from the menu and issuing enter is the same imho [17:45] anyway, it fails saying: gave up waiting for root device. common problems: boot args (cat /proc/cmdline); check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?); check root= (did the system wait for the right device?) missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) [17:46] also: ALERT! does not exist. dropping to a shell! [17:47] but it doesn't specify what doesn't exist [17:47] perhaps an empty string is displayed [17:51] if i put root=/dev/sda3 i will get the same error message with: ALERT! /dev/sda3 does not exist. [17:53] ah sorry... it should be sdb3 [17:55] pi00100100, So, may be it will more better if you use uuid insteed root [17:58] pi00100100, sudo vol_id -u /dev/sdaX get UUID of the device [18:08] pi00100100, what is with your GRUB? Is it work? [18:09] sorry but i don't understand your question.. [18:10] now it fails with an error very similar to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=989201 [18:11] Do you use UUID insteed "root"? [18:12] yeah, let me try with UUIDs... [18:16] uuids are not mentioned in grub 0.97 manual [18:16] perhaps it is a feature of grub2 [18:16] anyway, i don't think my problem is uuid related [18:18] pi00100100, nono no. I have uuid in menu.lst of ubuntu. (Actually Im using grub2 this time but grub2 dont use menu.lst file) [18:19] using "uuid" is more reliability [18:20] At least you will be certain about using right partition [18:22] ok. i think i'll have to study the grub manual before trying to do this [18:23] anyway thanks for your support [18:24] pi00100100, http://dpaste.com/87383/ This was in my menu.lst some mounths ago [18:24] your menu is for booting an installed ubuntu system. what i need is the knowledge to boot a livecd system [18:26] make your menu.lst similar to that menu.lst. [18:31] sorry, have to go... bye! [18:31] bye === Sysi is now known as sysi--- === sysi--- is now known as Sysi- [19:45] hi [20:04] hello! Just installed Xubuntu on my acer aspire 8930. I have no sound at all, nothing is muted in the alsamixer. Anyone knows whats up? [20:06] anyone? D: [20:08] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1215051 [20:09] seems problematic [20:10] yup [20:10] have you installed updates? [20:10] yeah [20:10] everything is uptodate [20:10] i had problems but they fixed themselves [20:10] lol well arent you lucky [20:11] there is lot going on with intel driver curretly [20:11] *drivers [20:13] i have tried pulseaudio too, but didnt make any diffrence, so reinstalled esd [20:15] in my other computer web radios won't work, problems are in graphic cards drivers [20:15] hi Im having issues installing pretty much anything on xubuntu...I cant get wine to work nor flash [20:15] halp: what's the error message? [20:16] i just noticed that if i had terminal going the package manager didnt work and vice versa [20:16] you got sound halp? lol [20:16] for flash it keeps telling me the file or directory doesnt exist [20:16] halp: THE file? [20:16] what... [20:17] halp: your descriptions are so vague, that it's really very hard to help you [20:17] umm for flash when I type in sudo sh flashplayer-installer it says no such file or directory [20:18] halp: why would you type that? [20:18] install xubuntu-restricted-extras [20:19] is that the thing on psychocats.net? [20:20] guess so [20:20] ok I did that... [20:20] if that won't work, ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:20] where do I get that? [20:20] or just flashplugin-nonfree [20:20] !info flashplugin-nonfree [20:20] flashplugin-nonfree (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer (transitional package). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10.0.32.18ubuntu0.9.04.1 (jaunty), package size 1 kB, installed size 40 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) [20:21] halp: from the repositories, with the synaptic package manager [20:22] I dont see xubuntu-restricted-extras in synaptic package manager [20:23] nor flashplugin nonfree [20:23] there is search [20:24] I searched nothing came up [20:24] halp, suppose you don't have the multiverse repositories enabled [20:24] what... [20:25] halp, on synaptic, go to settings -> repositories [20:25] halp, on the "ubuntu software" tab (should open immediately), select all the checkboxes, if they are not checked already [20:28] ok I found flashplugin but not xubuntu restricted extras [20:28] also youtube videos still wont play so flashplugin isnt really working [20:30] halp, did you do what i said? did you refresh the package lists after that? [20:30] with reload? [20:30] yes [20:31] yes [20:31] okay [20:31] which xubuntu version you have? [20:31] even with flashplugin installed now flash still isnt working [20:31] 6.06 [20:31] is that still supported? [20:32] um what [20:32] !606 [20:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about 606 [20:32] !dapper [20:32] Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on July 14th 2009, Server support will end in June 2011. See !upgrade for upgrade instructions [20:32] btw Im a major noob...I dont get any of this... [20:32] halp, 6.06 is not supported any more, you should upgrade [20:33] I cant, its the only version that works on my computer [20:33] halp, and even that is not supported, so the best way would be to install again [20:33] well the latest version that works === Sysi- is now known as Sysi [20:35] sooo flash wont work at all no matter what? [20:36] halp: what do you mean the later versions don't work? they should [20:37] halp, i'm not sure if it works in 6.06. [20:37] probably they (Adobe) changed the location of the flash plugin, so installer can't download it anymore [20:38] you could probably try gnash, I think it suports Youtube [20:38] !flash [20:38] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [20:38] !gnash [20:38] An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [20:38] there aren't anymore repos where from to install it? [20:38] (bad english i know) [20:39] if 6.06 isn't supported anymore [20:40] wat [20:40] Sysi: to start with, Ubuntu is not allowed to keep the flash plugin in the repositories, so it keeps there a script that downloads it from Adobe site [20:40] Sysi, the repositories/packages are there, but they link to a url that doesn't exist anymore, and as 6.06 is not supported, the packages are not updated either to point to the new place - and in the end, adobe doesn't even serve these old version [20:40] +s [20:40] anyone know what linux dist thats reported least sound issues? lol [20:40] Sysi: but Adobe is known to change their addresses [20:40] ok...I have to reboot so Ill brb [20:41] sabina: try looking for your sound card model and word 'linux' in google [20:51] Im just gonna say screwit about flash, and get back to my issues with wine since thats more important to me, I see it in synaptic now but it says it needs a lot more files to install (even some that are already there) [20:53] i'd guess that upgrading would help solvin probles a lot, if they still exist [20:53] I cant upgrade though, it wont work on my computer [20:54] what wont work? [20:54] upgrades wont [20:55] i guess because 6.06 isn't supported anymore [20:55] halp, yes, and that's because 6.06 is not supported. [20:55] halp, it's END-OF-LIFE [20:55] I mean, xubuntu upgrades wont work [20:55] upgrading to 8.04 should work if i have right information? [20:56] like the recent version of xubuntu wont install on my computer [20:56] halp, exactly. [20:57] what exactly... [20:57] halp, i understand that the newer versions wouldn't work on your computer, because you don't have resources for them to run. [20:58] halp, but thus you are using the old version, it is possible that other things like flash won't work also. [20:58] oh ok [20:58] so wine wont work with that version either? [20:58] halp, it is possible that it works, but there might be bugs. [20:59] halp, but because all the upgrades in ubuntu come from the repositories, you can't get any updates to any application, because you're running an outdated version of ubuntu [20:59] jaunty with lxde might work? [21:00] lxde isn't as nice as xfce but pretty good [21:03] I think Im going to give up with xubuntu...this old version is too limited, Im going to try another distro =/ [21:03] Sysi, i installed lxde on hardy, there is sime repository/ppa foro that, and wicd also [21:04] help is a looser :) [21:04] halp, sorry :) [21:05] he has a point in there *and* i don't think the OS choice is a reason to call anybody a loser [21:09] knome maybe you are right. I appologise. I just figured that he just said something and leaved ah. [21:10] well, that's not the best way to handle the situation, i agree, but i think he was very frustrated already [21:10] and maybe giving this one more go at xubuntu and not getting what he wanted.. [21:11] he said he was noob, he isn't gonna get anything easier running on that machine [21:11] Sysi, I use deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lxde/ubuntu hardy main to have lxde on Hardy [21:12] i have it on jaunty, xfce was slow on eee 701 [21:12] Sysi, maybe he'll get back then. [21:12] knome I entered later and I woldnt say anything if he was present. sry [21:13] nikolam, he wasn't, but that was not the point. :) [21:13] Sysi, I use Hardy on 701 and i am content with it.. [21:13] knome, i know. [21:13] i had easy peasy but i thought i should upgrade [21:14] Sysi, I used to install some scripts to get drivers etc that worked only on Hardy as advertised [21:14] i tried fedora, it was fast, but you'd need 2.6.30 kernel to get wlan eorking [21:14] I don`t think I will move Hardy from my eee untill LTS EOL [21:15] or that would be easiest/best solution [21:15] I get everything working on hardy on eee, I even use wicd wireless menager, very much more usefull that network manager [21:15] fedora was with gnome as fast as ubuntu with xfce, maybe even faster :S [21:16] but i need wlan [21:16] Hm, I reccomend My solution :) Xubuntu Hardy+uodate +that script for setting up drivers [21:17] hardy has old software [21:17] I choosed solution where drivers are reinstalled after every kernel upgrade. but there is also repo for hardy with alternate kernel, too [21:17] Yes, Hardy is older but on think like eeepc, I want stable stuff etc [21:18] i want stable to desktop [21:18] You can ged newer software from ppa repos, like OOo 3.1, newer pidgin from getdeb.net etc [21:18] eee is for experiments [21:18] Oh, I see, you are looking for solution for your desktop.. [21:19] Well,I use hardy on desktop, too :) [21:19] in one i has fedora [21:19] in this one jaunty [21:19] But if you are new user, newest is maybe best for you , unill second lts next year [21:20] Only I think drivers for Intel graphics are far from perfect in Jaunky etc. [21:20] i'm actually not very new, but quite noob still :) [21:20] Sysi, I know the feeling :) [21:21] I know now how to compile packages on my own, from .say. karmic repo etc and use it on hardy [21:21] i can do that with instructions [21:22] i just can't see any reason to use hardy [21:22] for me jaunty is very stable [21:22] I found instructions about that in package debian-reference [21:22] Sysi, then, that is right solution for you :) [21:23] that's why i have it :D [21:23] I found some reasons for myself in testing period for jaunty. Much things in Xfce didn`t work as I expected, so thats it [21:24] xfce is best but lxde flies even on eee [21:24] yup but i use xfce anyway, i get used to its solutions [21:25] i have xfce with intel e5200 too :) [21:25] haven't installed it yet to fedora [21:26] i may want fedora, but that would propably mean compiling if i dont wait untill f12 is released [21:28] hey I just don`t believe that wireless on eee shouldn`t be make to work on crrent fedora [21:28] 701sd [21:29] knome, there is a reason I was jumpy upon coming :) [21:29] rtl8187se is problematic card [21:29] rtl8187 driwers won't work [21:30] I get bruised and kicked for the first time on #opensolaris yesterday, just for talking about GPL3. Obviously they are some kind of BSD freaks that control #opensolaris [21:30] Sysi, of fedora you are talking? [21:31] yup [21:31] in xubu they work great [21:31] nikolam, hah, sure. [21:32] They seems to include BSD cone inside opensolaris and want it to keep that way [21:32] code [21:32] And they generally hate Linux wide gpl and userbase etc [21:33] CCDL is like LGPL to me, but not to them, etc [21:33] Sysi, I think you can change wireless card inside eee for some else :) [21:34] it is just wireless mini pci express card inside :) [21:38] hello [21:39] anyone here? [21:40] no [21:41] hello forces [21:41] !hi | thejayjetson [21:41] thejayjetson: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! [21:41] i am stuck on the kboot screen of my ps3 [21:41] kboot?

[21:51] Hi! Is it normal to have screen tearing with composite enabled with video playback? [21:52] because newest ps3 type has removed ability to run linux, by SONY.. [21:52] zk what player, what version of xubuntu and what graphics driver and hardware? [21:53] thejayjetson, what is model number of your ps3? [21:53] nikolam, vlc xubuntu jaunty 9.04 nvidia gtx 280 with 185 driver [21:54] nikolam, it works ok with compiz so it might be a problem with sync to vblank [21:54] zk how it is doing with open driver only? [21:54] nikolam, i'm using proprietary ones... [21:55] nikolam, should i try open ones? [21:55] I would try to compare on them [21:55] But closed drivers problems are good to report directly to producer, say nvidia [21:55] That might be fastest way to fix them [21:56] or/and on lanchpad bug system, too [21:56] Also some forum aabout nvidia drivers, too [21:57] I used last year of two amd fglrx driver and I know how pain is that [21:57] what are you using as a driver? [21:59] well closed source amd driver, called fglrx. [21:59] and it works tearing free ? [21:59] the video playback with XFCE compositor [22:00] zk depending on player.. my graphics is low end, integrated with mobo [22:00] ok brb [22:02] I know that driver model has been change since jaunty in kernel and that is why drivers still need some adjustments. feel free to report any glitches [22:03] ok, I am rebooting now [22:03] cul8r [22:20] n8 [22:26] can any one help i am having trouble getting my dvb-t from tevion working tryed many forums andd google searches [23:05] Something messed with my dual-monitor setup, and now the panel options don't let me move panels to my primary monitor -- they just stick to my second monitor and don't give a choice of where to move them. Any ideas, other than "try restarting X"? [23:06] I can position windows in the other monitor, but panels refuse to go there. Even if I set them to freely movable. [23:12] AryehGregor: try killing the panels and starting them [23:53] AryehGregor, right-click panel -> customise -> "select monitor" ? [23:54] knome, thanks, but there's no "select monitor". There usually is, but now there's not. [23:55] okay. [23:55] TheSheep, bingo, thanks. [23:56] Only problem is, now it's running in my terminal window. How can I get it to detach and run in the background? [23:56] AryehGregor, alt+f2 [23:57] Oh, clever. Thanks! [23:58] np. hope you enjoy xubuntu
