[00:01] EagleScreen: adding a reference to /etc/fstab didn't make the device appear in storage media applett [00:02] dodger: I have´nt tried that, but I have a laptop more with the same problem, only it was from day one there was no sound, but at times I could get it to work via alsamixer.. but when I start it up in windows, no problem.. [00:02] mkraus: I did some research on your error message. The best I could discern, the solution is to remove wodim and install cdrecord. [00:02] can't i use udev to make it visible to whatever backend (hal?) kde is using for usb storage devices? [00:07] e_t_: if I remove wodim, it also removes k3b, brasero and wodim. if I install "cdrecord" it installs wodim^^ [00:10] mkraus: You may be stuck then. The issue has a two year history on Ubuntu forums and no real solution. === carlos is now known as Guest84453 [00:12] mkraus [00:12] mkraus: for some people, reducing write speed to 4x worked, but not for everyone. === al is now known as exp[a] === exp[a] is now known as al [00:24] dodger: I tried the 9.10 install disc, but can´t get sound thru that one either, it says it needs a plugin witch it can´t find... [00:25] Napoleon__B: it sounds like there's a bug in the drivers for your sound card [00:25] dodger: and I have tried with both wma mp3 format.. [00:26] Napoleon__B: aplay can only play uncompressed files (like WAV files), but if you play a wma or mp3, or any other file for that matter, you should still get noise from your speakers [00:27] Napoleon__B: but the fact that you only get silence, despite the fact that the driver is loaded and that alsa shows the card as detected sounds like something is broken in the driver [00:28] dodger: But should´nt there be something under hardware in the sound menu? [00:28] Napoleon__B: yes, there should [00:29] Napoleon__B: but if the sound device can't be accessed for some reason, it may not show up - i'm not certain as i haven't seen the code at all, but i'd imagine it's not showing devices it can't get access to [00:30] dodger: on my other comp. there is an "internal audio" 1 output/1input in the hardware section right now.. [00:30] yes, you should be seeing something like that [00:31] does the other computer have the same type of sound card? [00:32] dodger: it is both zepto, but I can´t imagine that it is the same card witch is installd.. [00:36] Napoleon__B: if it's a different type of card, it would sort of reinforce that something is not working in the driver [00:36] dodger: but the strange part is that the first time I installd 9.10 I found a way to get the sound to work by uninstalling some lib* files, but then I had a problem with vm-ware and I started with a new installation of ubuntu and ever since I havent been able to get it to work again..! [00:38] dodger: the other one was on live cd before, now there is no hardware, like this one... [00:38] anyone else here with an intel 82801G (ICH7) sound card? === sfs is now known as _StefanS_ [00:41] dodger: if I insert my ekstra usb web cam I get a input device which shows a level bar for input, and it works, and it also turns up under hardware with 1 input... [00:42] Napoleon__B: ok, so other audio devices work [00:42] Napoleon__B: it's just your internal sound card that doesn't [00:43] hold on a sec, i saw something there earlier [00:44] dodger: On both computers? no I have dual boot on the other and there is no problem in windows.. [00:45] but yes, the input device, a logitech web cam seems to work fine.. [00:45] try this [00:45] Napoleon__B: sudo rmmod snd-hda-intel [00:46] Napoleon__B: then [00:46] Napoleon__B: sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel model=3stack [00:47] dodger: on the first command I get this: ERROR: Module snd_hda_intel is in use [00:47] ok, do 'lsof /dev/snd/*' [00:48] you'll get a list of programs that are trying to use the sound device at the moment [00:48] you'll have to quit them, then try the rmmod again [00:51] http://pastebin.com/d11c47fe [00:52] hmm [00:53] try sudo killal slmodemd [00:53] 'sudo killall slmodemd' i mean [00:53] wait [00:53] you're not online through the modem, are you? [00:54] dodger: wireless.. [00:54] ok, cool [00:54] try killing slmodemd, then do the lsof again to see if it's gone [00:55] dodger: when running: sudo killall slmodemd I heard a littel click.. [00:55] may well have been the modem... let's see what lsof /dev/snd/* says now [00:56] it should show no programs using the device [00:56] http://pastebin.com/d7b14d2e6 [00:57] Napoleon__B: just for the hell of it, run 'speaker-test -c2' now [00:58] see if you hear white noise ;) [00:58] dodger: white noise yes.. [00:58] omg [00:58] lol [00:59] there's sound! [00:59] let's see what system settings->sound says now [01:00] any devices in there? [01:01] dodger: there is is a device now, and better yet I can hear sound on my music now..! [01:05] great [01:05] so, apparently the modem daemon was hogging the device [01:06] now the only thing that's left to figure out is how to prevent it from starting when you boot the computer [01:06] try [01:06] Napoleon__B: sudo aptitude remove slmodem [01:07] dodger: I tried the kill all move on the other laptop, followd by lsof /dev/snd/* and now it also works on that one :-) I´ll try to remove that modem.. [01:14] what do I have to do to kppp so I don't have to enter a password to use it? [01:14] Napoleon__B: once you've removed the slmodem package, you should be good to go even after a reboot [01:16] dodger: Looks like you are right :-) [01:18] dodger: or, I got a login sound, but now it seems to be gone again.. [01:19] are you still getting a device in the sound settings? [01:19] dodger: yes [01:20] dodger: and also a input.. [01:20] but no sound out of amarok? [01:21] dodger: no [01:21] how about speaker-test -c2? [01:24] dodger: I tried killall, no result, then lsof /de*, no result, and again, and the 3 time there was sound... [01:27] http://pastebin.com/d300cc701 [01:30] ok, killing slmodem shouldn't be necessary anymore [01:30] since it's uninstalled [01:30] the lsof doesn't do anything except show which programs are using the sound card at the moment [01:31] so now it's working again? [01:34] dodger: true that, it writes: slmodemd: no process found.. but now after restart, no sound at all, before it gave me at welcome sound.. [01:35] ok, so after a fresh reboot, what's in your system settings->audio? [01:36] dodger: no hardware.. [01:36] ok, so now let's do lsof /dev/snd/* again [01:38] dodger: the hardware is there but no sound.. [01:38] ok, so you're seeing the devices in system settings? [01:39] dodger: yes [01:40] ok, and you're getting noise from speaker-test? [01:41] dodger: no.. [01:41] Why does GIMP's toolbox not show up in my taskbar, when all other windows do? [01:41] Hi folks. Can anyone tell me where the knotes widgets store the text? [01:41] ok, so what does 'lsof /dev/snd/*' show? [01:44] p1erre_: have you looked in ~/.kde.share/apps/knotes ? [01:44] dodger: It shows something diferent every time I run it.. http://pastebin.com/d4b0e11e2 [01:45] ok, so now let's try this [01:45] start amarok and start playing a song in it [01:45] then run pavucontrol and look at the output devices tab [01:46] Walzmyn: Yes, I did. But, It is empty. [01:47] p1erre_: ok. Mine too, but I don't use knotes, so I dind't know. [01:47] dodger: the output in pavucontrol is showing like it realy is playing.. [01:48] ok, and the volume is turned up? [01:48] Walzmyn: :(. [01:48] Napoleon__B: then also look at the 'playback' tab and make sure the volume is turned up there too [01:49] does anyone know how i can make the sleep button on my keyboard actually make the computer go to sleep? [01:49] dodger: It looks like it was turned off.. [01:50] dodger: there is sound on now again.. [01:50] I´ll try a restart again.. [01:50] ok [01:58] p1erre_: i got curious, fired up knotes and saved something, it went in ~/kde/share/apps/knotes [01:59] Walzmyn:uhm... [01:59] Walzmyn: I am going to check something... [02:01] I am not getting the update icon in my sys tray when updates are availiable. Can I do something to correct this? [02:01] dodger: no luck, check this out, I tried the lsof /dev* command 3 times, it did the same thing, but after killall something else happens.. http://pastebin.com/d1b4bd656 [02:02] Napoleon__B: when you reboot, before you do anything else, do a 'ps -A | grep slmodem' [02:02] i just want to see if that's still sticking around somewhere [02:03] 1257 ? 00:00:00 slmodemd [02:03] is what it writes back.. [02:07] dodger: and the other comp says after reboot: 1323 ? 00:00:00 slmodemd [02:07] Napoleon__B: well damn [02:08] for some reason it's still there [02:08] you've done sudo 'aptitude remove slmodem', right? [02:08] 'sudo aptitude remove slmodem' that is [02:08] Walzmyn: Ok. So, you launched knotes from krunner? I did it and worked too. But my problem is with the stiky notes widgets. :( , I apolagize for my mistake. [02:09] p1erre_: that's what I was thinking, those are not knotes and i've no idea what it is behind them [02:10] Walzmyn: you are totally right. I looking in plasma.. [02:10] dodger: yes I did the sudo aptitude remove slmodem.. [02:12] Napoleon__B: do 'aptitude search slmodem' , what does that show? [02:12] dodger: I just tried the sudo aptitude remove slmodem, and afterwards, ps -A | grep slmodem, result: 1257 ? 00:00:00 slmodemd [02:13] Napoleon__B: right, the remove just uninstalls the package but doesn't stop it if it's still running [02:13] but if it is uninstalled, after a reboot, it shouldn't be running anymore [02:14] aptitude search slmodem shows: v slmodem [02:14] Napoleon__B: ok, now try 'locate slmodem' [02:16] dodger: http://pastebin.com/dc0ae098 [02:16] Napoleon__B: ok, and just to be sure, you did reboot after aptitude remove slmodem, correct? [02:18] dodger: yes.. [02:18] Napoleon__B: good. now let's see if the file is actually there: 'ls /usr/sbin/slmodem*' [02:19] dodger: ls: kan ikke tilgå /usr/sbin/slmodem: No such file or directory [02:20] Napoleon__B: ok, that is very weird [02:21] Napoleon__B: it's uninstalled, it's no longer in /usr/sbin, but it still starts when you reboot [02:24] there has to be a version of it somewhere that is getting started, that was not installed through the system's package management [02:24] dodger: could it be something in the grub or in menu.lst? [02:25] Napoleon__B: no, it has to be in one of the startup scripts, but it's very difficult to tell where [02:25] Napoleon__B: so, to recap: you did sudo aptitude remove slmodem, then rebooted the computer [02:25] Napoleon__B: and then ps -A | grep slmodem shows that it's still running? [02:27] dodger: it is very strange how the very first time I rebooted it worked fine with startup sound, but that wont work either.. yes to your question.. [02:27] Napoleon__B: i have to leave for a while, for now just try killing slmodem after a reboot to get sound working... maybe you can take a stab at finding how in the world it's still starting after being uninstalled [02:28] at this point i'm pretty sure that slmodem is what's causing your problems [02:28] but how it's getting started after you uninstalled it, i don't know [02:30] i'll bbl :) === dodger is now known as dodger-afk [02:31] dodger: we come a long way, so thanks for your work so far, Ill try some things myself..

I need a simple program for recording my voice with the microphone. I've read Krec and Krecord can do it, but I don't find them for installing. Any idea how can I download them? [10:29] javier_: audacity [10:30] reinhold: Hi! I downloaded it, I'm trying to get to understand it, but it looks more complicated than what I've used before. And, don't know why, it doesnt record well from the microphone [10:31] javier_: sudo apt-get install sox libsox-fmt-all [10:31] javier_: configure well capture volume [10:31] javier_: audacity is a full audio editing application, so it's a bit more complex than needed for voice recording only... [10:31] then make sure you have selected on preferences alsa [10:32] javier_: Alternatively, you might try qarecord. I haven't tried it myself, though. [10:32] reinhold: well it's pretty simple ... [10:32] btw you can record with rec [10:32] rec -o temp.wav === newbie is now known as zegenie [10:32] CTRL C to stop recording [10:32] Peace-: Yes, i know, I'm using audacity to edit / cut / mix my recordings... [10:33] it's ultra simple but if you mess some configuration :D [10:33] it's complicated [10:33] javier_: Try searching something else, by description maybe. [10:34] Peace-: How did you meant to configure volume after installing those libraries? [10:35] People, is there a way to play .ape files in Amarok?

I think it's using "digital" [10:37] paulsomebody_: I don't think so. But you can download Monkey's audio, run it with wine and convert the .ape file to .wav [10:37] javier_: like said before test with rec -o temp.wav [10:37] in konsole [10:37] ok [10:37] reinhold: Yes, I am aware of this variant. [10:38] Peace-: "rec FAIL formats": cant open input "default": select_format" [10:39] javier_: try with rec [10:39] only [10:39] one moment pleas [10:40] rec temp.wav [10:40] sorry (that was for konsole) [10:41] yep [10:41] less -o it works [10:41] how to stop it?

[11:09] thanks paulsomebody_ [11:09] bye [11:09] javier_: There is a plasma applet, called Pastebin. Add it somewhere, and, right-click on it and select "Paste". [11:10] javier_: You should preciously press "Copy to clipboard" in the Ksnapshot. [11:12] paulsomebody_: ok, hehe. It worked. Thanks a lot. This is what I got: http://imagebin.ca/view/TtOINCb.html [11:12] Peace_: http://imagebin.ca/view/TtOINCb.html [11:12] Peace-: http://imagebin.ca/view/TtOINCb.html [11:20] Peace-: could you see it? [11:22] Hi, I'd like to ask if someone could help me with a small audio-CD problem, which turned to be not that small... :-) [11:22] !ask [11:22] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) === fer is now known as Guest64060 [11:26] Sorry. Ok. The problem is, that I can't play any audio-CD in Kubuntu (9.10) 64bit. The CD is correctly recognised by the system and it let me choose from different options what to do. All players I tried even give errors or nothing if I try to play an audio-CD. [11:26] paulsomebody_: have you seen my pastebin? any idea why mi microphone doesn't record? [11:27] javier_: I haven't, I got disconnected. Please paste again. [11:27] http://imagebin.ca/view/TtOINCb.html [11:30] javier_: I don't know now. First, please open Kmix, select all possible channels to be displayed and make sure all sliders are up to top, all "Mute" checkboxes are unchecked and all "Capure" flags are set. Probably not the most clever thing to do, but worked for me. === yupyup is now known as hiho [11:35] paulsomebody_: ok :) I got it to work. finally! Thanks a lot, paulsomebody and Peace [11:36] javier_: The stupidest among all suggestable things worked. [11:36] javier_: And try QArecord. [11:36] paulsomebody_: another thing, do you know how to use "audacity"? I try to record voice, and now it does, but it only records half a second and not any more, althought the time continues running (don't know why, because it doesnt record) [11:36] javier_: No, I never used it. [11:37] ok, thanks! [11:37] javier_: Maybe you should try to find support somewhere at the #audacity or else? [11:37] javier_: I guessed right, that channel exists/ [11:37] javier_: Try there. [11:37] mhm, that's right [11:50] hi all) [11:50] :) [11:52] At least I found out that I can get all audio files from the audio-CD and copy them to my harddrive and from there I can play them. But why can't I play them directly from the CD? [11:55] Dicekid: I have missed, what is the problem? [11:56] paulsomebody_ The problem is that my Kubuntu (64bit, Karmic) doesn't play any audio-CD with any player I use. [11:57] Dicekid: This is uncompressed audio? [11:57] Dicekid: I meant, CDDA? [11:57] It's a commercial audio-CD... [11:57] I have 4 Gb ram, and mi linux -karmic only see 3.2Gb, what i have to do for take the 4GB? [11:58] javier_: you have the damend capture to 0 [11:58] Guest64060: It's okay. 32-bit systems can only use 3.25 Gb. If you want it all, see PAE. [11:58] !pae [11:58] javier_: of course you can not record capture level is Zero [11:59] but installing kernell kubuntu-pae? [11:59] Guest64060: Do you have it? [11:59] Guest64060: Already? [11:59] paulsomebody_ Dolphin shows me the CD as "Volume" and there is a lot of stuff. wav files, ogg files. flac files, cda files, everything as single tracks and the whole CD in the different formats.. [11:59] no no, i havent [12:00] what i have to do? install it and all runs? [12:00] Guest64060: Than you should if you want. Search more about "Physical Address Extension", I don't know much about it, since I never used it. [12:01] oks thanks [12:02] the problem is, when i install it, i can uninstall the standard kernell without problems? [12:02] paulsomebody_ as far as I understand it, it should be uncompressed audio. But how can I find this out? [12:02] Guest64060: Take a look at the ubuntuforums.org, something like that http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1331120. [12:02] nba [12:02] oks [12:03] Thanks ! [12:03] Dicekid: If it's .ogg, .flac, and else I think you need codecs first of all. [12:04] paulsomebody_ ok, but why does it not play the wav files? And if I copy the ogg files for example to my harddisk, I can play them without problems. Why not directly from CD? [12:04] Dicekid: Than it's not codecs, definetely. [12:05] Dicekid: And to be honest, now I have no ideas. [12:05] Dicekid: Ask others, maybe you could try at the #ubuntu, since this question is not very KDE-specific. [12:06] paulsomebody_ I'm not sure about this. I think this is something dolphin is doing. Because on another PC with ubuntu this doesn't happen. [12:07] i have a problem.. xorg uses 99% CPU when korgac is running... [12:07] can you help me? [12:07] Dicekid: Try to play it with Amarok, it is capable of plaing audio CD's. [12:09] paulsomebody_ I tried amarok and it lists the tracks, but it doesn't play them. It shows them with a tracktime of 00:00 [12:10] Dicekid: Then I surely have no idea. [12:11] have you installed codecs privativs? [12:13] paulsomebody_ will try it at the #ubuntu channel.... but thanks anyway :-) [12:13] Dicekid: Okay. [12:22] How could I associate apt links in Firefox with KPackageKit, if possible? [12:27] Ok, guys, I've just had the worst experience in my life attempting to get kubuntu working under VMWare 7...little help? [12:28] Easy setup messed up at some point and didn't dis-engage, so VMWare Tools didn't get installed. I tried to install them manually, but the system said I didn't have access to necessary resources even though I ran the command with sudo [12:29] Other weirdness, i changed the resolution to 1680x1050, after a reboot it reverted to 800x600. When I went to change the resolution up to 1680x1050 again, as soon as I opened the display preferences window it snapped back to 1680x1050...but all the fonts on the screen were about 4x too large [12:29] What the heck is going on? [12:30] Leapo: I don't know. Have you done an previous research? [12:30] paulsomebody_ I played arround a bit more and I get the feeling that kubuntu, dolphin, whoever, doesn't correctly mount the CD. [12:30] This was the first place I came, I figured someone here would know what the problem is. [12:32] In my attempts to get vmware tools installed, I rendered kubuntu unbootable. I'm currently waiting for the installer to run again [12:35] Grr, same problem. Easy Install is sitting there and still running even though ubuntu is already installed. [12:40] Deas VMWare's "easy install" option not work with the latest version of Kubuntu? [12:40] *Does [12:40] * Leapo tries installing Kubuntu for a 3rd time [12:41] No ideas huh? [12:41] Hi, Leapo, are we speaking of Vmware workstation or server and is your host OS Linux or Windows ? [12:42] VMWare Workstation 7. Host OS shouldn't matter, but it's Windows 7 [12:43] Currently attempting a manual installation...oh that's nice, the loading screen is broken [12:43] The logo is being rendered twice O_o [12:43] The logo can render twice [12:44] Had a similar problem. [12:45] Leapo, what's you status. I mean, does it go on booting [12:45] Ok, there goes the manual install [12:45] zeropath: At the moment, it's installing the OS...again [12:45] The recent update to Kubuntu obviously broke VMWare's Easy Install scripted installer [12:45] So I installed it by hand -_- [12:46] Ok, did the OS ever boot up after install or are you stuck there ? [12:46] It booted to a desktop, yeah [12:46] Though since Easy Install wouldn't disengage, it caused all sorts of strangeness [12:48] Agreed. My host os is Linux and for some reason the Easy Install messed up XP, Vista, Seven, other Linux'es. I try to use the manual install. [12:48] Hopefully, VMWare Tools will install this time...without making the OS unbootable [12:48] Leapo: How do you install the VMWare Tools (sorry I have to ask) [12:49] Exactly as VMWare directions dictated [12:49] popped open the console, typed in their commands like a trained monkey :-P [12:50] (there really should be a file association to allow double-click > install for those types of files) [12:51] OK, first when you get the desktop, start Kpackagekit and do all the updates. I know there was a small kernel issue. Once it's fully updated, reboot the virtual machine and install the vmware-tools as you did previously. [12:51] It should work fine. [12:52] ok, lets see... [12:52] Leapo: small question, it's not a Windows 7 Home edition I hope [12:53] No, Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit...why do you ask? [12:53] Because the Home edition has issues with virtualization in every direction, but Ultimate is fine. [12:53] I mean Home Basic [12:54] Well yeah, that's home basic :-P [12:54] :-) [12:54] That doesn't even support aero glass [12:54] lol [12:54] No updates found [12:54] that...or there's no network adapter installed because VMWare Tools isn't installed yet [12:55] Though I thought large linux distros like this would include network drivers for virtualization built in... [12:55] careful, click on Software Updates, refresh [12:56] Yeah, I know. Nothing there [12:56] Leapo :Normally the network drivers work fine. Had no issues with that whatsoever. [12:56] Leapo: are you using vmware server or player [12:56] Could you try to surf ? [12:56] ...I just said VMWare Workstation 7 [12:57] Uh...what's the deal with Firefox not working? It has the installer listed int he applications menu, but not the actual web browser [12:57] and when I click it, it just says it's alread installed... [12:58] You can use the Konqueror, it's just to check if your network is working. [12:58] No networking [12:58] I imagine vmware tools includes the driver [12:59] Leapo: No Windows 7 firewall blocking ? Vmware Tools does not include the network drivers, Vmware Workstation does. [12:59] That last part didn't make any sense [13:00] VMWare workstation is the virtualization application itself, vmware tools is the package installed on the guest operating systems within VMWare Workstation. [13:00] And no, the firewall is fine. My other virtual machine have internet access [13:00] Well, when you install VM WS 7 the network drivers are included in WS 7, you don't need the Vmware tools. [13:01] Nice, Ark just crashed... [13:01] zeropath: You aren't making sense mate... [13:02] Workstation 7 installs on the host, not the guest [13:02] Just installing an OS within Workstation 7 doesn't automatically give it networking drivers :-P [13:05] Well, i did the same thing I did last time, and vmware tools managed to install correctly [13:05] kubuntu has officially met the requirements for the definition of insanity >.< [13:06]
