Sachse_SiechtumEverytime my Xubuntu loads, my audio is muted. Why is that?00:55
cody-somervilleSachse_Siechtum, It sounds like you have pulseaudio installed.01:12
Sachse_SiechtumYes I have.01:13
cody-somervilleIts a bug in pulseaudio.01:15
Sachse_SiechtumI see.01:15
Sachse_Siechtumand there is no workaround?01:16
cody-somervilleSachse_Siechtum, I think the work around is unmuting your volume after booting unfortunately.01:28
Sachse_Siechtum*laugh* Alright.01:28
cody-somervilleI think the bug is fixed in Lucid.01:29
Sachse_SiechtumLucid?01:29
cody-somervilleThe current development release01:29
cody-somervilleSachse_Siechtum, Can you uninstall pulseaudio?01:29
cody-somervilleThats another option that might work.01:29
Sachse_SiechtumWell. except this mute thing, Pulse audio works alright. Working with my soundcard and my 5.1 soundsystem ect.01:30
rr72ok thought it was just me that it mutes01:34
rr72and I can't unmute it w/ my hotkey.01:34
Sachse_SiechtumI always unute it when I click on the audio symbol...01:36
Sachse_Siechtumok thanks....and gone01:39
levihello, I have an amd64 with xubuntu and flash crashing my system03:13
whatramWhen updating in aptitude (in CLI on karmic), how long does it usually take? I'm using the MTU LUG mirror since it's close and it says "Waiting for headers" for a few minutes and then i just cancel because i think it isn't working...04:34

CodyH23Could anyone help me figure out how to get the Broadcom B43 wireless driver on a Xubuntu 9.10 Live USB Drive?11:33
CodyH23When Xubuntu loads it says that there are drivers to be installed (Broadcom B43), but when I click to 'activate' it gives some sort of message in regards to not being able to access somethinganother.ubuntu.com I belive.11:38
CodyH23believe*11:39
CodyH23Is there anyway I can copy the drivers onto the USB drive while I'm in Windows?11:39
Sysiyou can't use wire?11:39
CodyH23I'm not that familiar with Linux otherwise I'm sure I could figure it out.11:40
CodyH23Not currently.11:40
CodyH23I had a similar situation with a regular Ubuntu LiveCD, but it was able to active the Broadcom B43 without issue.11:41
CodyH23I think I found a possible solution using the LiveCD. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks anyways.http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=128886511:46

ubottuPlease 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. :-)20:00

ron_odownloading to my 8gb sansa clip. It's USB 2.0 and it starts off very fast, but then after about 250MB it then slows down to a crawl.23:01
ron_ois there anything that could tell me what is going on? dmesg | tail doesn't say much about it.23:01
TheSheepron_o: 250MB of cache?23:11
TheSheepron_o: flash disks are very slow to write to23:11
ron_ousb2.0 though? and it's a sansa... you think 250mb cache?23:13
ron_o1.2 GB took over 5 minutes.23:13
TheSheepI may be wrong, but from what I know about flash disks, you can only erase/write a whole block at a time. So it caches writes, waits until it gets a whole block worth of them, and then writes that.23:14
TheSheepnot sure how large the blocks are, though, 250MB seems a little large23:15
TheSheep250kB sounds more likely23:15
ron_oTheSheep, you are right. Sansa clip writes at about 4-5Mb/s..23:15
ron_othat's pretty slow. At least it's not my fault. :) thanks.23:16
ron_oit must be some sort of cache.23:16
