[00:55] <Sachse_Siechtum> Everytime my Xubuntu loads, my audio is muted. Why is that?
[01:12] <cody-somerville> Sachse_Siechtum, It sounds like you have pulseaudio installed.
[01:13] <Sachse_Siechtum> Yes I have.
[01:15] <cody-somerville> Its a bug in pulseaudio.
[01:15] <Sachse_Siechtum> I see.
[01:16] <Sachse_Siechtum> and there is no workaround?
[01:28] <cody-somerville> Sachse_Siechtum, I think the work around is unmuting your volume after booting unfortunately.
[01:28] <Sachse_Siechtum> *laugh* Alright.
[01:29] <cody-somerville> I think the bug is fixed in Lucid.
[01:29] <Sachse_Siechtum> Lucid?
[01:29] <cody-somerville> The current development release
[01:29] <cody-somerville> Sachse_Siechtum, Can you uninstall pulseaudio?
[01:29] <cody-somerville> Thats another option that might work.
[01:30] <Sachse_Siechtum> Well. except this mute thing, Pulse audio works alright. Working with my soundcard and my 5.1 soundsystem ect.
[01:34] <rr72> ok thought it was just me that it mutes
[01:34] <rr72> and I can't unmute it w/ my hotkey.
[01:36] <Sachse_Siechtum> I always unute it when I click on the audio symbol...
[01:39] <Sachse_Siechtum> ok thanks....and gone
[03:13] <levi> hello, I have an amd64 with xubuntu and flash crashing my system
[04:34] <whatram> When 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...
[06:01] <jimisrvrox> If anybody has a minute I would appreciate some help with my rt2500 that is showing device not managed. I went to nm settings and changed the ifupdown=false to true and restarted nm-applet but it did nothing.
[08:06] <acmeinc> anyone around?
[08:11] <cody-somerville> Yup.
[08:11] <cody-somerville> I'm heading to bed here soon but I'm sure other folks can field your answer soon or when they unidle
[08:12] <acmeinc> trying to find what an example failing drive (write error) in var log messages would loook like
[08:14] <cody-somerville> It would say something like I/O Error: Failed to write
[08:14] <acmeinc> ya i figured something "like" but im wondering if anyone actually seen one...setting up auto notifcation to sift through message log to report and drive failure
[08:20] <acmeinc> thanks though
[08:22] <Myrtti> I just run smartmontools every six months
[08:23] <acmeinc> have you ever had an error?
[08:23] <Myrtti> some small, some bigger.
[08:24] <acmeinc> anything recent? for instance in the past week?
[08:24] <acmeinc> if so you can grep your /var/log/messages....perhaps there is an example entry
[08:26] <Myrtti> nope, nothing in a year or so
[08:27] <acmeinc> eh...alright...thx anyways..i will hack through smartmontools though to what exactly it monitors
[08:27] <acmeinc> peace
[08:35] <acmeinc> Myrtti: btw i found one...thx again
[11:20] <zilkomaa> Could some one help me please, after ubuntu 9.10 install i cant boot to windows xp from grub. After pressing enter in grub menu it only loads grub menu again, no error messages and nothing.  Here is the disk info's windows xp is on sda1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/365124/  and here grub.cfg http://paste.ubuntu.com/365126/
[11:33] <CodyH23> Could anyone help me figure out how to get the Broadcom B43 wireless driver on a Xubuntu 9.10 Live USB Drive?
[11:38] <CodyH23> When 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.
[11:39] <CodyH23> believe*
[11:39] <CodyH23> Is there anyway I can copy the drivers onto the USB drive while I'm in Windows?
[11:39] <Sysi> you can't use wire?
[11:40] <CodyH23> I'm not that familiar with Linux otherwise I'm sure I could figure it out.
[11:40] <CodyH23> Not currently.
[11:41] <CodyH23> I had a similar situation with a regular Ubuntu LiveCD, but it was able to active the Broadcom B43 without issue.
[11:46] <CodyH23> I 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=1288865
[14:40] <meco> As my PC is quite sparingly configured, would I benefit from swithcing from Ubuntu to Xubuntu?
[14:41] <meco> (It has a 2GHz Pentium 4 and 512MB RAM)
[14:41] <Sysi> might be
[14:41] <Sysi> you van try, just install xubuntu-desktop to "ubuntu"
[14:43] <TheSheep> that will leave some ubuntu services like pulseaudio and such though
[14:43] <meco> I'll try what Sysi suggested
[14:44] <Sysi> TheSheep: isn't there pulseaudio also in xubuntu?
[15:02] <TheSheep> Sysi: no
[15:03] <Sysi> but still gnome volume manager?
[17:02] <Balsaq> Sysi!!!!!!!!
[17:03] <Sysi> ohai
[17:03] <Balsaq> 10-4
[17:16] <Balsaq> what is that?
[17:17] <charlie-tca> Not sure, but freenode says there is no such nick
[17:17] <Balsaq> my nick or someone else?
[17:17] <Sysi> spam
[17:17] <charlie-tca> someone else, "avyw"
[17:18] <Balsaq> weird
[17:18] <charlie-tca> It is happening on a couple of channels today
[17:18] <Balsaq> almost looked like a personal message too me
[17:18] <Sysi> it's happening on every bigger channel in freenoe
[17:18] <Balsaq> there is a lot i don't know about this spam
[17:19] <charlie-tca> I don't see it on ubuntu+1, though
[17:19] <Sysi> +r or +R?
[17:20] <charlie-tca> don't know
[17:20] <charlie-tca> looks like =r
[17:20] <charlie-tca> +r
[17:20] <Sysi> yeah, that keeps it away
[17:20] <charlie-tca> I never thought of that
[17:20] <Sysi> it means that you need to register to say anything there
[17:21] <Sysi> or join there
[17:22] <charlie-tca> I see
[17:22] <Sysi> oh yea, you can talk if you already are there
[17:22] <Sysi> +R means that you van join but no talk
[17:51] <cody-somerville> charlie-tca, * avyw has quit (K-lined)
[17:51] <cody-somerville> charlie-tca, k-lined == ban
[17:51] <Balsaq> ouch
[17:51] <cody-somerville> Good! The fellow was spamming us. :)
[17:51] <Balsaq> bullseye

[17:52] <Balsaq> thank you
[17:52] <charlie-tca> he was spamming several channels
[18:18] <slow-motion> hi
[18:25] <Balsaq> if i am in a channel, and i have a green dot in front of my name and i am on top of the list in the channel, am i the channel OP?
[18:32] <charlie-tca> the green dot can be different things in different irc clients.
[18:32] <charlie-tca> I never saw them in XChat, but in weechat, channel ops are designated with a green @ symbol
[18:33] <Sachse_Siechtum> Whats the meaning of life, of the universe and everything else?
[18:33] <charlie-tca> Sachse_Siechtum: 42

[23:01] <ron_o> downloading 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_o> is there anything that could tell me what is going on? dmesg | tail doesn't say much about it.
[23:11] <TheSheep> ron_o: 250MB of cache?
[23:11] <TheSheep> ron_o: flash disks are very slow to write to
[23:13] <ron_o> usb2.0 though? and it's a sansa... you think 250mb cache?
[23:13] <ron_o> 1.2 GB took over 5 minutes.
[23:14] <TheSheep> I 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.
[23:15] <TheSheep> not sure how large the blocks are, though, 250MB seems a little large
[23:15] <TheSheep> 250kB sounds more likely
[23:15] <ron_o> TheSheep, you are right. Sansa clip writes at about 4-5Mb/s..
[23:16] <ron_o> that's pretty slow. At least it's not my fault. :) thanks.
[23:16] <ron_o> it must be some sort of cache.
