| bivo | why can't I find my xorg.conf on a clean install of xubuntu 10.04? | 06:32 |
| gaurdro | because it doesn't exist | 06:33 |
| gaurdro | the X server is set up to autoconfigure everything, so it doesn't need an Xorg.conf | 06:33 |
| moetunes | bivo: if you need one you can make it | 06:34 |
| bivo | gaurdro well that isn't working too good for people on old intel igps | 06:36 |
| Sysi | old intels don't work any better with that file.. | 06:36 |

| vertigo42 | Hey, I'm new to linux. Just installed Xubuntu 10.04 and have sound problem with USB soundcard Mackie XD-2. It's shown on Mixer plugin as "Playback: Mackie XD-2 ANalog Stereo (pulseaudio mixer)", but there's no any sound. Any issues? | 07:35 |
| vertigo42 | Also, it was nicely working on Ubuntu (ALSA) recently. | 07:36 |
| moetunes | vertigo42: what is being used - master or pcm? | 07:46 |
| vertigo42 | once again: Just installed Xubuntu 10.04 and have sound problem with USB soundcard Mackie XD-2. It's shown on Mixer plugin as "Playback: Mackie XD-2 ANalog Stereo (pulseaudio mixer)", but there's no any sound. Any issues? | 07:47 |
| moetunes | vertigo42: you may just need to use pcm in the mixer instead of master | 07:47 |
| vertigo42 | how to do that? | 07:48 |
| vertigo42 | Mixer track: Master | 07:48 |
| vertigo42 | and there're no other option | 07:48 |
| vertigo42 | (btw, how to auto quote your nick while writing here? default XChat) | 07:49 |
| moetunes | !tab | 07:51 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 07:51 |
| moetunes | so type moe the hit tab | 07:51 |
| moetunes | s/the/then | 07:51 |
| vertigo42 | moetunes, great! thx | 07:51 |
| moetunes | don't you have the option to choose the wannabe master or something like it? | 07:52 |
| moetunes | try right click of the sound icon in panel | 07:53 |
| vertigo42 | writing */quit was a bad idea, sorry) | 07:54 |
| moetunes | heh | 07:54 |
| vertigo42 | moetunes, no options at all, just Master | 07:54 |
| vertigo42 | :) | 07:54 |
| moetunes | try right click of the sound icon in panel | 07:55 |
| vertigo42 | moetunes, nothing happens | 07:55 |
| vertigo42 | moetunes, mby it's better try to set ALSA as default instead of pulsemixer? | 07:56 |
| moetunes | vertigo42: yep that is always a wise choice - pulse blows | 07:56 |
| vertigo42 | moetunes, any directions on manuals? how to do it simplier? | 07:57 |
| moetunes | err | 07:57 |
| moetunes | !pulse | 07:57 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 07:57 |
| moetunes | one min | 07:57 |
| vertigo42 | moetunes, oh I see (nice support features here :D) | 07:58 |
| vertigo42 | moetunes, going to try sudo apt-get autoremove pulseaudio | 07:58 |
| moetunes | better to do sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio to remove config files vertigo42 | 07:59 |
| vertigo42 | moetunes, Agh, I did first command already, so: "Package pulseaudio is not installed, so not removed" | 08:00 |
| moetunes | http://innergytech.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/safely-removing-pulseaudio-in-ubuntu-linux-9-10-karmic/ gives some good clues | 08:01 |
| vertigo42 | moetunes, 2nd question: how to install ALSA as default driver (or what's that) on system? | 08:01 |
| moetunes | see above vertigo42 | 08:01 |
| vertigo42 | moetunes, oh ok, gone to workout it | 08:02 |
| moetunes | luck :] | 08:02 |
| vertigo42 | moetunes, going on restart, gonna be back soon | 08:04 |
| moetunes | k | 08:04 |
| vertigo42 | well, wait, I'll switch on macbook to be here | 08:04 |
| vertigo42 | moetunes, Done. | 08:12 |
| moetunes | all good ? | 08:12 |
| moetunes | vertigo42: ^^ | 08:12 |
| vertigo42 | moetunes, now I have two Sound card options: HDA Nvidia and Realtek, and no my Mackie)))) | 08:12 |
| vertigo42 | moetunes, and a lot of controls (master, PCM etc.. already better :)) | 08:14 |
| vertigo42 | moetunes, how to make ALSA see my Mackie? | 08:14 |
| moetunes | vertigo42: does it show in lsufn? | 08:15 |
| moetunes | lsusb I meant | 08:15 |

| moetunes | vertigo42: prob 'cause there's no driver for it the mixer doesn't display it | 08:24 |

| Name141 | is hardy no longer supported? | 09:53 |
| Sysi | !hardy | 09:53 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. | 09:53 |
| Name141 | all that does is let me download 8.04.4 | 09:54 |
| Name141 | !lts | 09:54 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 09:54 |
| Name141 | !hardy | 09:54 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. | 09:54 |
| Sysi | so year left | 09:54 |
| * Name141 shrugs | 09:54 | |
| Name141 | OK, so pretty much no reason to install 9.10 if hardy is working fine? | 09:55 |
| charlie-tca | Name141: Hardy is supported for one more year | 09:55 |
| Name141 | charlie-tca: and 9.10 is supported for how long? | 09:55 |
| Sysi | you should upgrade to lucid maybe | 09:55 |
| charlie-tca | If it is working, there is no reason to go to 9.10. In fact, if you planned to update, I would suggest going to 10.04, which is supported for three years also | 09:56 |
| Name141 | I will when the disk gets here. | 09:56 |
| charlie-tca | 9.10 is supported for 18 months, which gives it a year from now | 09:56 |
| Name141 | I don't have a Lucid disk. | 09:56 |
| Name141 | and the computer only has a CD-RW | 09:56 |
| Name141 | thus, I can't use my DVD+R's | 09:56 |
| Name141 | less you know of some other way to install it? | 09:57 |
| charlie-tca | netboot | 09:57 |
| Sysi | !unetbootin | 09:57 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 09:57 |
| Name141 | The old 1996ish system isn't gonna support that | 09:57 |
| Name141 | It is a PII 450 MHz, | 09:57 |
| Name141 | Gateway Essential 450 | 09:58 |
| Name141 | charlie-tca: netboot? | 09:58 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe netboot, yeah | 09:58 |
| charlie-tca | !install | 09:58 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 09:58 |
| Name141 | seems I might as well wait on a lucid disk | 10:00 |
| Name141 | or go buy a CD-R pack | 10:00 |
| Name141 | I didn't like the 'upgrade' | 10:00 |
| Name141 | took up 4 GBs | 10:00 |
| Name141 | although hardy is 2.8 | 10:00 |
| Name141 | so I guess it was resonable | 10:01 |
| Speckal | morning all | 13:03 |

| pankajmore | hi, i have ubuntu 9.10 installed and xubuntu-desktop on top of it since a few months wid no problems,2 days ago suddenly there was a power failure and the system rebooted.After that I have been unable to use ubuntu, grub 1.97 menu comes wen i use ubuntu option it just shows the background and then reboots | 16:15 |
| pankajmore | I have tried various live cds from ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 10.04 , all of them crash and reboot | 16:16 |
| charlie-tca | Tried choosing the recovery mode and then fix broken files? | 16:16 |
| pankajmore | even other linux distros also cresh , is there sum hardware fault or live cds also get affected by hdd faults? | 16:16 |
| charlie-tca | A hardware failure can affect everything, but it may not be the HDD, it could be the bios | 16:17 |
| pankajmore | but should the live cds also be affected ?? | 16:17 |
| pankajmore | i m unable to use any live cd | 16:17 |
| charlie-tca | It can be. | 16:17 |
| pankajmore | i m able to boot to windows from grub | 16:17 |
| charlie-tca | That sounds like a hardware failure to me. | 16:17 |
| pankajmore | can you please give sum suggestions as to wut might cause such reboots even on live cds? | 16:18 |
| charlie-tca | Perhaps the power failure caused damage to the cd drive? | 16:18 |
| pankajmore | even live usbs dont work | 16:19 |
| pankajmore | sam reboot on displaying (maybe xserver relatred)?? | 16:19 |
| charlie-tca | I have seen that with floppy drives that burn out, just unplugging the floppy cables fixed it. also zip drives will cause it | 16:19 |
| Ulala | Hi, I just installed Xubuntu on a Virtual PC (I used Sun VirtualBox) as a part of a school project and I need to setup a basic www/ftp/mail/php server. I need a really simple server just to show the teacher that it works. Can anyone please guide me through the process or point me to a simple newbie friendly guide (I've got zero knowledge on this subject) | 16:23 |
| charlie-tca | Ulala: better to ask in #ubuntu-server | 16:29 |
| charlie-tca | !server | 16:30 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server | 16:30 |
| charlie-tca | Ulala: ^ ^ might help too | 16:30 |
| yellowBaron | hi. i want to install xubuntu on an old laptop. this laptop has no wireless drive so i'm forced to use a key; i'd like to know if this will work with xubuntu | 16:38 |
| yellowBaron | the key is NETGEAR DW111v3 | 16:39 |
| yellowBaron | anybody's home ?!?!?! | 16:41 |
| charlie-tca | !patience | 16:41 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 16:41 |
| yellowBaron | charlie-tca: was just surprised that were not other chats! i'll wait... | 16:43 |
| charlie-tca | There is a small group of volunteers here. We don't have all the answers, sometimes. Also, a lot of people are working and answer questions when they can get a minute. | 16:44 |
| charlie-tca | Okay, let me try this, but don't get the hopes too high | 16:47 |
| charlie-tca | yellowBaron: I am confused by the use of 'key'. This is a wireless router or USB drive? | 16:48 |
| yellowBaron | usb drive | 16:48 |
| subspider | !sound | 16:49 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 16:49 |
| charlie-tca | You are planning to install by putting the image on the usb drive, then? | 16:49 |
| charlie-tca | Hello, subspider | 16:49 |
| subspider | hello charlie-tca | 16:49 |
| subspider | how are you?? | 16:50 |
| yellowBaron | charlie-tca: my english is not too good, my fault... i'll try to explain better: | 16:50 |
| charlie-tca | subspider: doing fine. Yourself? | 16:51 |
| charlie-tca | yellowBaron: it's okay. We just take it a little at a time. | 16:51 |
| subspider | charlie-tca, having problems with my sound card now i take out the amd water mark | 16:51 |
| charlie-tca | You can install to a USB drive from the cd, or install the cd on the USB drive to install to the hard drive. | 16:52 |
| charlie-tca | heh | 16:52 |
| yellowBaron | the laptop use a USB key to connect to the wireless modem/router, since it has not wireless drive by itself | 16:52 |
| charlie-tca | yellowBaron: Got it | 16:52 |
| charlie-tca | You do have a cd drive, then? | 16:53 |
| yellowBaron | yes, but i think the driver is just for windows | 16:53 |
| yellowBaron | maybe the driver in linux is providen by the kernel itself | 16:54 |
| charlie-tca | It's okay. If you download the desktop cd from http://xubuntu.org/get and burn it to a cd, you can try it without installing and see if the wireless works. | 16:54 |
| yellowBaron | i'd like to know if is automatically recognized | 16:54 |
| charlie-tca | If it does, installation will work okay | 16:54 |
| charlie-tca | Most wireless is now recognized automatically by linux | 16:55 |
| yellowBaron | charlie-tca: there's an issue: the laptop is not physically with me; indeed is my aunt's one, and she lives in another city... | 16:55 |
| subspider | charlie-tca, yes i'm doing fine thanks | 16:56 |
| yellowBaron | so i was surfing for infos.. | 16:56 |
| yellowBaron | (feel free to correct me with english grammar, if you want!) | 16:56 |
| charlie-tca | same thing, either you or her should download the desktop cd and try it on the system. You don't have to install it. It has the ability to run without touching the system. | 16:57 |
| charlie-tca | That gives you a chance to see if it works or not. | 16:57 |
| yellowBaron | charlie-tca: ok, but i can not have even a live session! the laptop is in another city! i'll install when i'll come and see her, but i won't have much time... | 16:59 |
| yellowBaron | so i was previously wondering if there's hope... | 16:59 |
| charlie-tca | That works. You can run the cd, and if it works, install it from the desktop. There will be an icon to install from there. But then you know for sure the hardware is okay. | 17:00 |
| charlie-tca | It should work. I have no reason to think that wireless won't. It is not broadcom, right? | 17:01 |
| charlie-tca | The broadcom b43 needs help to work, normally | 17:01 |
| subspider | does anyone have anyidea how to put my sound working | 17:01 |
| subspider | ?? | 17:01 |
| charlie-tca | what's wrong with it? | 17:01 |
| yellowBaron | broadcom is a brand? | 17:02 |
| yellowBaron | don't know what is it | 17:02 |
| charlie-tca | nm, I probably don't know anyway | 17:02 |
| charlie-tca | yellowBaron: broadcom is the wireless chip used. | 17:02 |
| yellowBaron | ops... absolutely don't know... | 17:03 |
| charlie-tca | Can't honestly say if it will work. I googled for the netgear, but it looks like windows has lots of problems with it. | 17:05 |
| charlie-tca | the issues I see with linux date back to Xubuntu 8.10, that was two years ago. | 17:07 |
| yellowBaron | this is the key i was talking about http://www.netgear.com/Products/Adapters/WirelessGAdapters/WG111.aspx | 17:08 |
| charlie-tca | It just is not possible to say, without trying it. | 17:09 |
| yellowBaron | sorry previously i gave you the wrong name | 17:09 |
| charlie-tca | I don't see anything about problems with that one on Ubuntu/Xubuntu since 2007. It is having issues with Windows 7, though. | 17:14 |
| yellowBaron | yeah, those issue seems to be quite old... | 17:17 |
| charlie-tca | My guess is it will work fine. | 17:17 |
| yellowBaron | http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=it&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.edmond.netsons.org%2Findex.php%2F2008%2F04%2F28%2Fusb-wireless-wg111v3-e-linux | 17:20 |
| yellowBaron | seems to require still some efforts... | 17:21 |
| yellowBaron | ok, i'll try... | 17:21 |
| yellowBaron | thanks charlie-tca | 17:21 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 17:21 |
