[08:30] hi. I installed wicd, and then removed it with apt-get. after doing that I cannot restore the network manager icon on the xfce-panel. what could I do ? thanks [08:31] ping__luce, wicd removes network manager iirc, tried reinstalling it? [08:33] bazhang: network-manager-gnome is installed. I can launch the applet that edits the connections (nm-applet) but I can't see the status of the connections [08:33] which is shown in the icon I just said [08:33] ping__luce, not sure, I generally do it via the command line [08:34] is this wireless or wired [08:34] bazhang: it's a mobile usb. through command line, how can I enable it ? it's on ttyUSB0 [08:34] and it's correctly configured [08:35] ping__luce, it shows up in ifconfig and iwconfig? [08:35] bazhang: no. [08:35] something like wlan0 ath0 or the like [08:35] bazhang: no [08:35] I only see eth0 and lo [08:36] then it does not have the correct drivers I suspect. what chipset for that NIC lsusb to check [08:37] bazhang: I'm pretty sure that the drivers are correct [08:37] ping__luce, yet it does not show up in ifconfig? that's a first for me then [08:39] bazhang: ID 0b3c:c000 [08:39] ping__luce, and a netsearch of that ID provides what?

[08:48] try the package usb-modeswitch [08:48] just a month ago the kernel developers were discussing a patch for that device [08:48] bazhang: and after having installed this package? [08:49] ie the Linux kernel developers (not Ubuntu) [08:49] ping__luce, there are a couple of google links on how to patch the kernel for that device [08:49] ping__luce, its seems it is quite new and not yet supported without some serious workarounds [08:50] bazhang: but after installing usb-modeswitch what I have to do? [08:50] ping__luce, just a suggestion, one of the links on patching the kernel suggested installing that [08:50] and hope your changes work out [08:51] I see. thanks [08:51] http://tinyurl.com/2feannl [08:54] bazhang: but this means that I have to recompile the kernel, right ? [08:55] ping__luce, you see by that link that its a more recent kernel, right? [08:56] bazhang: I don't know that [08:57] !info linux [08:57] linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.32.22.23 (lucid), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all armel) [08:57] bazhang: my kernl is 2.6.32-21-generic [08:57] 2-6-34 is what they are referencing [08:58] ie full kernel inclusion in either 33 or 34 [08:58] bazhang: I see. so, what I have to do? I have to install a new patched kernel? [08:59] ping__luce, for the time being it would seem so. I would try another device if you have one as that would be a much easier workaround while waiting for the inclusion in the kernel [08:59] but that's entirely up to you [08:59] bazhang: I don't have another device [09:01] in addition, a lot of people used that device on 9.04 and it worked [09:01] ping__luce, I would check the ubuntuforums then, if you wish I will take a look as well [09:02] the e220? [09:04] bazhang: ? [09:04] model number [09:04] I already checked ubuntuforums . And I found guide for installing this device on 9.04 . [09:05] Bus 002 Device 007: ID 0b3c:c000 Olivetti Techcenter [09:05] and the model number was ? [09:05] ie on the box it came in, or on the device itself [09:07] bazhang: OLICARD100 [09:07] (I only have model name) [09:09] http://www.witchcityweb.com/275/how-to-install-linux-on-a-stick-tim-olivetti-100/ from this? [09:09] bazhang: exactly [09:10] well it apparently worked up to 9.10 ; perhaps a bug report for Lucid 10.04 is in order [09:10] but now I'm seeing that there are some instruction added [09:11] let's try [09:11] the instructions say sudo gedit which is incorrect, btw; it should be gksudo gedit [09:13] (xubuntu has mousepad by default) [09:13] gskudo mousepad ? [09:13] err gksudo mousepad? [09:14] that [09:14] thanks Sysi [09:16] ping__luce: have you had connection to internet with that modem? [09:16] with lucid [09:19] if you start nm-applet in terminal, does it give error? [09:21] Sysi: I can launch nm-applet and it does not give me errors. I never had connection to internet with that modem [09:22] mmh [09:22] but the major problem is that I cannot see the connections icon anymore! [09:23] when I launch wvdial --> Cannot open / dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory [10:09] well. finally I solved all. but now this problem remains: the network manager applet doesn't show automatically, after boot. what could I do? [10:09] ping__luce, care to share how you solved it? [10:10] bazhang: it's absurd to say. I had to check "connect automatically". [10:11] ping__luce, okay nice; glad it was that simple [10:11] bazhang: yes, but surely there's a bug [10:11] ping__luce, could well be [10:11] because it's not a normal procedure [10:11] anyway, how can I restore this damned icon? after installing wicd, it disappeared [10:11] and there's no way to restore it [10:12] the notification area is there? [10:12] yesd [10:18] bazhang: the problem is that this notification area seems damaged and I can't remove it === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [11:29] Hi all!, need some wifi help here.

[13:13] this isn't channel for ubuntu studio [13:13] well I thought i might ask since ubuntu studio is pretty quiet [13:13] people here are generally very helpful (and knowledgable) [13:14] did you wait longer than 3 minutes? :p [13:14] 2 minutes 58 seconds? :P [13:15] #ubuntu would be better than this maybe [13:15] ok. thanks [13:16] Thanks Sysi [13:17] np [13:17] seems that livecd don't like raid [13:18] where do you see that?

[15:36] i don't know either [15:37] there's a lot of info in those files about installed packages. apparently there isn't a lockfile that can be deleted, and the problem is caused by an update that didn't complete [15:37] !aptfix [15:37] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [15:53] bye [16:35] How can i use my pc to amplify my microphone? [16:36] nicofs without having a very nice soundcard you would probably just add distortion. [16:37] well... it would be nice if i could at least hear the mic while recording. i can't speak for linux. but with windows it was possible up to win2000. apart from that is my mic active. [16:39] You haven't tried your mic in xubuntu yet? [16:39] what exactly do you mean by try? [16:40] Installing xubuntu and plugging your mic into the mic port on your computer. [16:40] or any other linux distro [16:40] well... xubuntu is installed. mic is plugged in. and in audacity i can record. [16:41] in ubuntu it worked as well. [16:42] It's just not loud enough for you? [16:43] i want to hear it WHILE recording. i need to set it to some sort of play through. [16:44] i don't want "stop motion", i.e. record, stop, play. i want "speak into mic" --> "what i say out of speaker". [16:51] Have you tried changing the setting under Recording called Software Playthrough in audacity [16:56] hang on, will do [16:58] ok... works. BUT is slightly delayed and a bit too much for my pcs capacities... i was more looking for a "system setting" way of doing it. as ist was possible some time ago... [17:03] it used to be just a box to tick in the sound settings... i'm looking for something like the old windows sound mixer with options "Master", "Sound", "MIDI", "Line-In", "Microphone" - where i just had to unmute the mic to hear it. [17:05] Have you tried using mixer in the multimedia menu [17:06] it has "master" - the only option. [17:07] You should be able to add other options when you click select controls [17:09] master. only option [17:38] How can i use my pc to amplify my microphone? i don't want "stop motion", i.e. record, stop, play. what i want is "speak into mic" --> "what i say out of speaker" (instantly; hardware play through it was called, i guess). otherwise, microphone (recording) and sound (play audio files) work. [17:39] i don't know how actually do it or if it's even possible, but set up totem or something and put your mic as input [17:40] you could ask from other channels, repeating ere propably doesn't help much [17:40] been repeating in other channels for quite some time now^^ [17:41] :P === litenith is now known as pavlovgg [18:31] Hello.
