aenrickok then, I modified my resolution screen and then I cannot see anything(glitches, weird screen display, cant even see a word) That's my main problem, i'm trying to fix it and found some information on modyfign the xorg.conf but the file is empty. Another thing i tried is using the sudo reconfigure xserver xorg, it just ask me some info about my keyboard or stuff, forum said it is suposed to ask me for resolution settings 01:02

ericccHi all21:06
ericccI'm running Xubuntu Karmic alpha-5, and im having problems mounting my 1TB external NTFS hard disk21:07
ericccit tells me "Cannot get volume.fstype.alternative"21:07
ericccwhen i mount it manually it works fine however. I noticed there was a bug logged for this problem at the end of june but it has been closed. I've run chkdsk on the disk, dirty bit is not set, so its a bit of a mystery :s21:08

Eseit works on windows and opensuse23:18
Techiewhat type of USB mouse?23:18
Techieis it generic or is it a brandname?23:19
Eseit seems very generic to me23:19
Techiethis may help, run lsusb in terminal and post the output to pastebin23:19
Techiethe mouse must be plugged in during this time, if it wasnt blatantly obvious already23:20
Esehttp://pastebin.com/m57248d1423:21
Esehehe23:21
EseI'm not that n00b23:21
Techiedidnt think you were, but ive seen people that are23:21
Techieokay, i think this is the line we are interested in23:22
TechieBus 001 Device 003: ID 04f2:b159 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd23:22
Eseyeah23:22
Esethat's it23:22
Techiehrmm, this laptop happent ot be a HP laptop23:26
Eseyes, a probook 4410s23:27
Techiei found a couple of bug reports for this issue, but no answers as of yet23:27
Techieill keep looking23:27
EseI found someone making the suggestion of trying sudo update-usbids23:28
Techierun this please, mseg|grep usb23:28
Eseand magically seemed to work out the issue, but not for me23:28
Esemseg?23:29
Eseit says that is not a command23:29
Techiekk23:29
Techiehave you tried any of the other USB ports?23:30
Eseyep23:30
Eseall 423:30
Techiekk23:30
Techiethat cancels out that idea23:30
Eseit seems to be a kernel related problem23:33
Techieman, untill i saw some of these reports, i never thought there was such a thing as too much information23:33
Eseheh23:33
Techiehttp://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1582640.html <---- TOO MUCH INFO23:33
Ese"I was wearing an awesome "vote for pedro" t-shirt and a pair of white chucks when all of the sudden the mouse stop working"23:34
Esethese kind of silly issues is why linux is not for everyone23:36
Techieyeah, and its also why we have large support groups like this23:36
Techiehello SiDi23:37
SiDihi23:38
Techiehonestly, i cant seem to find anything remotely useful23:39
Eseit's frustrating23:42
Esesuch a small issue23:42
Techiei know how you feel23:42
EseI've tried every usb device on my house23:42
Eseand they all work23:42
Eseeven my wlan connection worked out of the box23:42
Techiemay i suggest an alternative23:42
Esebluetooth, everything23:42
Esesuer23:42
Techiebuy a different mouse23:43
Eseheh23:43
Eseyeah, I was thinking about23:43
Esethis one is not particulary small for a laptop23:43
Techieive learnt from experience that sometimes you jsut have to give up, thats why im running a windows server now instead of ubuntu23:43
SiDiwhats going on ?23:44
Techieusb mouse issues23:44
SiDicome on23:44
Esewell I must say that opensuse completely did for me, what a great distro that is23:44
Techiehttp://pastebin.com/m57248d14 <----- output from lsusb23:44
SiDiif it doesnt work right after plug its most likely the kernel not recognising your motherboard correctly23:44
Techiehehe, SiDi's always on the ball23:45
SiDiSiDi is mostly on the way to his warm bed :D23:48
SiDiEse: if i were you i would google "usb mouse doesnt work + your laptop's model"23:48
SiDiyou can also perform a search in bugzilla.kernel.org about similar issues23:49
