[00:06] <Severity1> hi miran im about to go out for awhile but... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes
[00:06] <phillw> miran: now this is purely conjecture and idk if it will help, but you can pull in the development kernel and try with that, if it does not help you can simply select the existing kernel from your grub menu.
[00:07] <Severity1> it shows diff. workarounds
[00:08] <phillw> the 999 kernel sees my 3G device, whereas the current one does not. I guess it's worth a try.
[00:09] <phillw> as in, there is bugs sorted in that one that have not hit the main kernel release yet.
[03:51] <tati>  is there any way to fix volume that is distorted from the speakers using the gnome volume control?
[04:25] <smokenbiskits> anyone using toshiba satellite l505d and/or insyde h2o bios?
[04:26] <smokenbiskits> acpi messes up, so i boot w/ acpi_osi="linux" and doesn't recognize dual core
[04:26] <smokenbiskits> boot w/ acpi=ht and the cores can't downclock
[04:40]  * tati asks  is there any way to fix volume that is distorted from the speakers using the gnome volume control?
[04:41] <ddecator> tati: distorted how?
[04:41] <tati> a lot of static
[04:41] <tati> the speakers are new
[04:43] <ddecator> i'm not sure what you could use the gnome volume control for to control static. are you sure it's not just the speaker's connection?
[05:03] <tati> it could be the speakers connection
[05:04] <tati> but i've disconnected and reconnected
[07:01] <red2kic> Yay!
[07:02] <MrPancake> Didn't realize this was here.
[07:02] <MrPancake> iantlopp: What's the issue? :-)
[07:02] <iantlopp> well I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 i386 and everything, so far, seems to work just fine (that I've seen) except wireless....
[07:03] <iantlopp> while in windows, there's a button on the laptop that turns the adapter off and on, and it's acting like it's off... however the button does nothing while in Ubuntu (probably with good reason)
[07:03] <MrPancake> iantlopp: Fire up a terminal window.
[07:04] <iantlopp> up and running
[07:04] <MrPancake> sudo aptitude install pastebinit
[07:04] <MrPancake> sudo dmesg | pastebinit
[07:04] <MrPancake> Then paste the link.
[07:04] <iantlopp> ahh, dang it... it'll be a minute..
[07:04] <iantlopp> installing updates, and apt-get won't work while synaptics is running.
[07:05] <MrPancake> k
[07:06] <iantlopp> while I'm waiting for the updates to finish (should be here in a few minutes), I've got compiz running on the system (nothing more than what's installed normally, with the extra options turned on)
[07:07] <iantlopp> but I can't find the config manager for compiz.
[07:07] <iantlopp> supposed to be under System->Preferences
[07:07] <ddecator> ccsm
[07:08] <iantlopp> yeah.... when I look in synaptics, it says that it's already installed, but I don't see how to open it.
[07:08] <ddecator> or compizconfig-settings-manager
[07:08] <iantlopp> same thing, isn't it? just an abbreviated name form of the latter.
[07:09] <iantlopp> so where can I open the ccsm?
[07:12] <iantlopp> ne'ermind for now, 'bout to restart and really just need help getting the wireless working... brb
[07:17] <iantlopp> okay, MrPancake
[07:17] <iantlopp> http://pastebin.com/Cg2n6KYm
[07:21] <iantlopp> also, the system is telling me that I should install some proprietary drivers... it mentions 2 broadcom drivers and 1 ati driver
[07:58] <iantlopp> I've got the wireless card in my system working.. to a degree... at least it acts like it's working, but it's not connecting to the wireless network.
[07:59] <ddecator> have you checked to see if there is a proprietary driver you need for it?
[07:59] <iantlopp> that's actually what got the card working at all.
[07:59] <iantlopp> broadcom card, so it installed both the driver and the fwcutter driver for it...
[08:00] <ddecator> and did you reboot after it installed?
[08:00] <iantlopp> yep
[08:00] <ddecator> so it's at least detecting the networks now?
[08:00] <iantlopp> yeah, it sees all the local networks.
[08:01] <iantlopp> and I put in the wep key for this wireless...
[08:01] <iantlopp> it just doesn't connet.
[08:01] <ddecator> good, that's progress :) what does it do when trying to connect?
[08:01] <ddecator> just nothing?
[08:01] <iantlopp> what's a dhcp client id?
[08:01] <ddecator> uh..
[08:02] <iantlopp> well the icon goes through its animation for a long while, then I get a word balloon that says, Wireless Disconnected.
[08:02] <iantlopp> sorry, looking through the settings and that's one of the options I'm not familiar with.
[08:02] <ddecator> oh, do you have dhcp3-client installed?
[08:02] <iantlopp> just whatever installed with the system... this is a fresh install of 10.04
[08:03] <iantlopp> with the updates and the proprietary drivers installed...
[08:03] <ddecator> should be then
[08:03] <ddecator> hm..
[08:04] <iantlopp> under IPv4 Settings, Method is set to Automatic (DHCP) most of the other options except DHCP client ID: is greyed out, and there's nothing under DHCP client ID:
[08:05] <ddecator> i don't have anything there either
[08:05] <iantlopp> ahh, okay.
[08:05] <iantlopp> I'm ignoring IPv6 settings, Wireless security is accurate... double checked there..
[08:06] <ddecator> same here for me
[08:06] <ddecator> hm
[08:06] <iantlopp> under Wireless, SSID: is accurate, Mode: is Infrastructure. BSSID is empty, MAC address is empty, and MTU: is automatic.
[08:06] <ddecator> also same
[08:07] <iantlopp> could there be a problem with it connecting while the wired connection is also active? both are set to DHCP
[08:07] <ddecator> oh, you have the wired connected to? ethernet wins, so try disconnecting the ethernet and then connect to the wireless
[08:08] <iantlopp> well I'll be disconnecting here for a minute...
[08:08] <iantlopp> brb.
[08:12] <iantlopp> no such luck:(
[08:12] <iantlopp> strangely, it acts like it connects if I set the connection to Ad-Hoc (which the system obviously is not), but fails after a couple of minutes of trying when set to Infrastructure.
[08:15] <ddecator> strange..
[08:15] <iantlopp> quite so.
[08:15] <ddecator> let me see if there is a bug report for it
[08:15] <iantlopp> ok
[08:20] <iantlopp> while we're at it... I can't find the Compiz Configuration Manager... though the system says it's installed.
[08:22] <ddecator> did you install compizconfig-settings-manager?
[08:22] <iantlopp> synaptics says its already installed
[08:23] <ddecator> and i can't find a bug report, only ones i'm finding are due to the kernel not recognizing the wireless card
[08:23] <ddecator> it's not under System > Preferences?
[08:23] <iantlopp> nope
[08:23] <iantlopp> of course this is what was installed with Ubuntu
[08:23] <iantlopp> so the default setup isn't prevalent.
[08:25] <ddecator> try running 'ccsm' in a terminal
[08:26] <iantlopp> okay, strange... synaptics says compizconfig-settings-manager is already installed, but running ccsm in terminal says it's not :(
[08:26] <iantlopp> believe aptitude or synaptics? hmm...
[08:28] <ddecator> try 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager' and see what pops up (or aptitude)
[08:28] <iantlopp> oh, that's what I'm doing... I'm just saying it's kinda strange... synaptics is just supposed to be a gui frontend for aptitude, right?
[08:28] <iantlopp> so why would it say that it's already installed when aptitude says otherwise... just...s trange.
[08:28] <iantlopp> but now installed :)
[08:29] <ddecator> it is strange, but at least now it's working, haha
[08:35] <iantlopp> little net glitch there
[08:47] <iantlopp> hmm... need to install flash player for firefox, I select APT for Ubuntu 9.04+ and then Agree and install now, then a window comes up that says "Launch Application" and I've no idea what to do.
[08:48] <ddecator> install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:49] <ddecator> that includes flash
[08:49] <iantlopp> type that at terminal?
[08:49] <ddecator> sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:50] <iantlopp> there we go...
[08:50] <iantlopp> just typed that as I saw your message :)
[08:50] <iantlopp> I will learn this... it may take me a bit, but I will learn it...
[08:50] <iantlopp> and compiz is being weird... heh.
[08:50] <ddecator> heh, it takes getting used to, but once you do it's easy :)
[08:52] <ddecator> alright, i have to get to bed
[08:52] <iantlopp> well I've got a LOT of experience with dos, and *shudder* command prompt, but no real experience with linux... wireless networking always killed it for me.
[08:52] <iantlopp> thanks much for your help.. I'll have to work on this wireless some more tomorrow anyway.
[08:52] <ddecator> gl with getting things figured out iantlopp :)
[08:52] <iantlopp> thanks muchly
[09:00] <geirha> The «linux command prompt» works a bit differently than DOS. In Ubuntu bash is the default shell, and is what resembles the «command prompt». I recommend learning the basics of it with this guide: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide
[09:39] <mongoosedog> hey guys been looking around a bit, but browsing the net has become painfully slow, what could be affecting firefox? the laptop is running at a good speed so i don't think it's my connections, and all other program seem to run at normal speed?
[12:00] <javatexan> anyone else having ubuntu kernel lock up while running different programs?  Nothing seems to be working except for the updates on the system monitor.....weird
[12:02] <javatexan> the only way to "fix" is to hit the power button to shutdown and restart....just since last kernel update....or thats when I noticed
[13:17] <bradfernquist> Can anyone walk a very new user with little experience through setting up a t-mobile umg181 mobile internet stick?
[13:18] <bradfernquist> or better - is there an applet avail anywhere?
[13:29] <bradfernquist> help with T-mobile?
[13:34] <phillw> bradfernquist: when you plug it in, it should appear in your network connections as a '3G' device
[13:35] <bradfernquist> Hi Phill...thanks - yes, it shows up
[13:36] <phillw> you should need to click connect & it should get on with the job for you :-)
[13:36] <bradfernquist> but configuring it seems to be an issue - no idea what info to enter when setting it up
[13:37] <bradfernquist> the tech support at t-mobile is no help so far - since Im not using windows :(
[13:39] <phillw> bradfernquist: try the settings here  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1435529
[13:39] <bradfernquist> will do - appreciate your help!
[14:59] <protik> hey guys
[14:59] <protik> does anyone know solution for
[14:59] <protik> An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
[14:59] <protik> ?
[15:00] <protik> without clean upgrade/new installation
[15:00] <phillw> protik: what were you attempting?
[15:01] <protik> ohh I'm attempting upgrade to 10.04
[15:02] <protik> from 9.10
[15:02] <protik> and I've too many 3rd party repos
[15:02] <protik> one of them is edgers for Intel graphics
[15:02] <phillw> sorry, i don't about how edgers works
[15:03] <protik> so clean upgrade will require to remove xorg which I'm trying to avoid and no new installations to avoid all the work to setup everything from scratch
[15:03] <protik> do I need to know how edgers work for an upgrade?
[15:09] <phillw> protik: there was a bit of a discussion from when 10.04 was in beta. It may give some hints as to where / what to look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1457310&page=2
[15:10] <protik> k I'll go through it and let u know thanx
[15:12] <phillw> protik: I also found this http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9065134 which seems to have a happier outcome :-)
[15:21] <protik> hmm seems like new drivers r quite good
[15:21] <protik> however how do I get my machine to upgrade it just refuses to upgrade
[16:18] <protik> hey phill found a solution -- need to force downgrade those packages
[16:26] <phillw> protik: glad you got it sorted :-)

[21:09] <AJH101> Hi i am trying to install gdm with the alternative install disc - can anyone help please?
[21:14] <AJH101> Hi i am trying to install gdm with the alternative install disc - can anyone help please?
[21:14] <drubin> AJH101: Sure what seems to be the problem
[21:14] <drubin> but generally asking the same question over and over isn't going to help ;-p AJH101
[21:15] <AJH101> sorry!
[21:15] <AJH101> just not sure what command to try
[21:15] <AJH101> so far sudo and gksudo not working
[21:15] <AJH101> disc not recognised?
[21:16] <AJH101> lots of 'failed to get' messages
[21:16] <drubin> AJH101: Is ubuntu installed?
[21:16] <drubin> or are you trying to use the alternate disc as an archive
[21:17] <AJH101> yes but i had probs with a login 'loop'
[21:17] <AJH101> purged gdm and would like to install again
[21:18] <AJH101> not really all that sure of what is going on really
[21:18] <drubin> AJH101: Type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop that would install every thing back tot he way you originally installed it
[21:18] <drubin> if that doesn't work please post some of the output
[21:19] <AJH101> ok one moment
[21:20] <AJH101> failed to fetch achives
[21:21] <AJH101> archives
[21:21] <drubin> AJH101: is this machine on the internet?
[21:21] <AJH101> i think so
[21:21] <AJH101> it certainly was
[21:22] <AJH101> although that wlesswireas
[21:22] <AJH101> was wireless
[21:22] <drubin> AJH101: first try sudo apt-get update, and then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[21:23] <AJH101> lots more failed to fetch
[21:23] <AJH101> i thought the alternative cd might have what i needed?
[21:23] <drubin> AJH101: No
[21:23] <AJH101> o :-(
[21:24] <drubin> AJH101: You should just be able to download off the internet
[21:25] <drubin> AJH101: I assume this machine doesn't have graphics?
[21:25] <AJH101> at the moment? no
[21:26] <drubin> AJH101: type sudo apt-get update | pastebinit
[21:27] <drubin> and then give me the url it generates/
[21:28] <AJH101> noob qn - how do i get the upright line?
[21:29] <drubin> it is called the pipe and should be just above the enter key
[21:29] <AJH101> found it
[21:29] <drubin> press shift and the key that looks like |\
[21:30] <AJH101> pastebinit not installed!
[21:30] <AJH101> trying to install now
[21:30] <AJH101> aargghh failed to fetch again
[21:30] <drubin> AJH101: Can you ping google from your machine
[21:30]  * drubin thinks you aren't on the internet
[21:31] <AJH101> i think you are right
[21:31] <AJH101> what now
[21:31] <AJH101> ?
[21:32] <AJH101> i am desperately trying to avoid a fresh install! lol :-(
[21:33] <drubin> AJH101: can you plug your machine in via network cable
[21:33] <drubin> because that would be the simplest trying to get wireless working in CLI is not my thing ;-p
[21:35] <AJH101> lots in loft but cannot find one right now :-(
[21:36] <AJH101> that is the next step?
[21:37] <AJH101> ok thanks - will try again tomorrow
[22:33] <rtropf> I'm at my wits-end!  I've tried and tried with no success....all I want to do if RAID-1 4 drives (2 sets of 2)...that's all...didn't think I'd have this much trouble..  =(  Please help
[22:34] <phillw> rtropf:  you want to do what with raid ?
[22:35] <rtropf> I have 5 drives in my tower, a small 320 for OS and general use, then 4x1.5tb drives for backup for photos.  I want the 4x1.5tb drives to be RAID-1 configuration so that the machine shows 2x1.5tb
[22:38] <phillw> which raid system are you wanting to set up? software raid, fake raid etc?
[22:39] <rtropf> I'm pretty much indifferent on how it gets setup, but walking into this I assumed it would be software raid.  In my research, I've ready a little about "fake raid" but don't really understand the difference between Software Raid and Fake Raid
[22:39] <rtropf> ready=read
[22:40] <phillw> I'd suggest software raid. Are you using 10.04 or 9.10 as your ubuntu?
[22:40] <rtropf> 10.04
[22:41] <rtropf> I downloaded something that I was trying to use in terminal to establish the raid...it worked once on two of the drives, but then I ran into a number of other issues I had to resolve before revisiting the software...and now that I've resolved those (screen display issues and such), I'm wanting to talk this again...but am definitely in over my head.  =(
[22:43] <rtropf> Interestingly, when using Disk Utility, I attempt to create a raid there and it says "Insufficient Number of Disks to create a RAID-1 Array"  And all my disks are greyed out
[22:44] <phillw> rtropf: I'm afraid I'm only nodding terms with raid also. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID  may help, other wise you'd be best asking at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=339 which is the server area on the main forum
[22:45] <rtropf> OK, I'll check it out.  Thanks so much!!
[22:45] <phillw> there is some other support threads I can dig out for you, if you get stuck
[22:46] <rtropf> OK, I'll let you know.  Thanks again =D
[22:55] <rtropf> Hmm....actually I just figured it out in Disk Utility...drives have to be setup for GUID, not MBR..../facepalm
[22:57] <phillw> raid is 50% science and 50% black magic ;-)
[22:57] <phillw> at least with 10.04 it works again :-)
[22:59] <rtropf> Yeah, lol.  Thanks again!
