| _CommandeR_ | Hi guys, question does ubuntu partitioner aligt partitions properly ? | 01:43 |
| Ger | why would it show up as 0 bytes disk space remaining | 01:44 |
| pedro3005 | what type of partition is it? | 01:44 |
| pedro3005 | file system | 01:44 |
| Ger | ? | 01:44 |
| pedro3005 | what's the file system? | 01:44 |
| Ger | ntfs | 01:44 |
| pedro3005 | format it to ext4 | 01:44 |
| Ger | it was that i changed it to ext 2 nothing worked | 01:45 |
| pedro3005 | when you start the ubuntu installer, have you tried selecting "use entire disk"? | 01:45 |
| Ger | I tried both | 01:46 |
| Ger | install to harddrive and live | 01:46 |
| pedro3005 | are you accessing from the same computer? | 01:46 |
| Ger | no | 01:47 |
| pedro3005 | ok, so is it on the live cd? | 01:47 |
| Ger | I can get their but it is not on now | 01:48 |
| pedro3005 | please do | 01:48 |
| Ger | i have used it on the live cd very slow with trailing cursor | 01:48 |
| pedro3005 | is it a PC or a laptop? | 01:48 |
| Ger | problem is only one screen | 01:48 |
| Ger | pc | 01:49 |
| pedro3005 | what graphics card? | 01:49 |
| _CommandeR_ | pedro3005, do you know if the ubuntu partition creator aligns the partition correctly to the harddrive so it will be splitted on even blocks ? | 01:49 |
| Ger | i would have to find out | 01:49 |
| Ger | how do I do that | 01:50 |
| pedro3005 | _CommandeR_, I think you may set it to do so | 01:50 |
| pedro3005 | Ger, lspci | 01:50 |
| Ger | I am lost | 01:50 |
| Ger | winxp installed no problem i deleted it and formated | 01:51 |
| pedro3005 | so let's go step by step | 01:52 |
| pedro3005 | when you boot ubuntu and select live CD | 01:52 |
| pedro3005 | is it slow? | 01:52 |
| Ger | I had earlier version of ubuntu on maching6.06 | 01:52 |
| Ger | yes very | 01:52 |
| pedro3005 | hm... | 01:52 |
| pedro3005 | Ger, would you happen to know your computer specs? | 01:53 |
| Ger | 6.o6 i did upgrades on line up to 8.ver and they ran good | 01:53 |
| pedro3005 | Ger, I mean how much RAM, processor, etc | 01:54 |
| Ger | the system requirements are ok my ram is small 330 | 01:54 |
| pedro3005 | you are attempting to install 10.04? | 01:54 |
| Ger | i have over 256 | 01:54 |
| Ger | yes from disk when I tried on line I could not do it so I ordered disk | 01:55 |
| Ger | could it be mother board bug | 01:56 |
| Ger | dell pc | 01:57 |
| Ger | about 9years old | 01:57 |
| Ger | pedro you still there | 01:58 |
| pedro3005 | Ger, you see, the recommended RAM for 10.04 is 512 MB. Now, you may be able to run it with less, but you'd need to do some modifications | 01:58 |
| pedro3005 | first, you can try using the alternate install CD. and I would advise to use something other than GNOME | 01:59 |
| Ger | I have the disk in front of me and it say 256 ram | 01:59 |
| Ger | how would I do that | 01:59 |
| pedro3005 | Ger, does your PC have a model number or something? | 02:00 |
| Ger | yes | 02:00 |
| pedro3005 | which is it? | 02:00 |
| Ger | dell dimension xps t600 | 02:00 |
| Ger | intel pentium3 | 02:01 |
| Ger | i have been at this for hours | 02:01 |
| pedro3005 | Does anyone here know if 10.04 can run under 256 mb and 600 MHz? | 02:02 |
| Ger | I got other codes when I tried to install to harddrive | 02:02 |
| pedro3005 | what do you mean by codes? | 02:03 |
| Ger | ubi-partman failed with exit code 10 | 02:04 |
| Ger | futher inormation may be found in /var/log/syslog | 02:05 |
| Ger | i closed that one then another opened ubi-console setupfailed with the exit code 1 | 02:06 |
| pedro3005 | Ger, you can attempt to use the solutions provided here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1498417 | 02:08 |
| pedro3005 | namely, "By changing the F6 Other ... at the initial screen, to nodmraid the problem was overcome." | 02:09 |
| sebsebseb | oh more people in here than I thought there would be | 02:11 |
| Ger | should I hit a f6 at the first screen when it asks which install I want | 02:11 |
| zkriesse | hello sebsebseb again! | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | zkriesse: yeah hi | 02:11 |
| pedro3005 | Ger, yeah, I believe that's it | 02:11 |
| Ger | that is a hidden menu | 02:11 |
| pedro3005 | you need to add the option "nodmraid" | 02:12 |
| Ger | where and when | 02:12 |
| pedro3005 | sebsebseb, it is populated but mainly much quieter than #ubuntu | 02:12 |
| sebsebseb | pedro3005: yeah and not as known | 02:12 |
| pedro3005 | Ger, when you hit F6 at the menu | 02:12 |
| Ger | which menu | 02:13 |
| pedro3005 | the boot menu | 02:13 |
| Ger | where i pick to live cd or harddrive install | 02:13 |
| pedro3005 | yeah, that one | 02:13 |
| Ger | it does not say anything about f6 there iwas looking how to get to other install I read about textmode install but do not know where to find it or how to do it | 02:15 |
| pedro3005 | Ger, wait a moment please | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | pedro3005: Do you help out in here? Or just here at the moment for support? | 02:17 |
| pedro3005 | I'm a member | 02:17 |
| pedro3005 | so, always here | 02:17 |
| sebsebseb | oh I didn't know you did Ubuntu support, well now I do then :D | 02:17 |
| sebsebseb | so this is mainly a support channel or what? I notice from the wiki their are a few others. and then the forums has its beginers channel as well or whatever. uh so many Ubuntu channels | 02:18 |
| pedro3005 | this exact channel is for ubuntu support | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | well not much good really, when most of the noobs don't even know about it? | 02:19 |
| pedro3005 | Ger, ok, help me out here. When you boot ubuntu, what are the options it gives at the initial screen? | 02:21 |
| sebsebseb | I guess this channel can be used sometimes, when newbies want a smaller channel for support in | 02:21 |
| Ger | only two install to harddrive or live cd | 02:21 |
| sebsebseb | Ger: What are you trying to do, install Ubuntu? | 02:22 |
| Ger | it says something about running alongside another os | 02:22 |
| sebsebseb | pedro3005: So you help out in here quite a bit or? and since #ubuntu is to busy for you? | 02:22 |
| pedro3005 | sebsebseb, yeah I'm not normally even on #ubuntu | 02:22 |
| sebsebseb | I am, but its not really the best channel for beginners, very busy | 02:23 |
| sebsebseb | normally the issues that people are having there, will look complex to newbies, which could put them off, Ubuntu as well | 02:23 |
| pedro3005 | Ger, if you press F6, nothing happens at all? | 02:23 |
| duanedesign | you can press e i think it is at grub screen to set biit options | 02:23 |
| pedro3005 | duanedesign, this is on the LiveCD though | 02:24 |
| duanedesign | *boot | 02:24 |
| pedro3005 | so no GRUB, I think | 02:24 |
| Ger | I will try it but it is not offered | 02:24 |
| duanedesign | ohh | 02:24 |
| Ger | my old 6.06 offeed different options at startup | 02:25 |
| Ger | offered | 02:25 |
| pedro3005 | I mean, according to this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Dmraid%20active%20by%20default%20on%20Desktop%20CD , F6 should work | 02:25 |
| sebsebseb | pedro3005: Why are some of the people voiced? | 02:26 |
| pedro3005 | sebsebseb, members of the team | 02:26 |
| Ger | you think I can do it with the old ver 6.06 | 02:26 |
| sebsebseb | oh | 02:26 |
| pedro3005 | Ger, wait, I figured it out | 02:26 |
| duanedesign | f6 did not work? | 02:26 |
| sebsebseb | pedro3005: well I am not so sure, what the team is, from the wki | 02:27 |
| pedro3005 | ok, when you boot, press F6.. you should see a screen with "Try ubuntu without installing" amongst other stuff | 02:27 |
| pedro3005 | press F6 again, a drop down menu should appear. use the keys and navigate to nodmraid | 02:27 |
| sebsebseb | pedro3005: already only seen main page so far | 02:27 |
| sebsebseb | pedro3005: ok lets chat in the other channel then | 02:28 |
| Ger | after I click nodmraid what should I do | 02:28 |
| pedro3005 | Ger, is it booting? | 02:29 |
| Ger | I will try it give me a few min I have to change machines | 02:29 |
| Ger | if I loose you will you be here tomorrow | 02:30 |

| Ger | I hit the f6 window open in lower right courner with a few thing i click on nomraid then what | 02:35 |
| pedro3005 | it should have a cross in it | 02:35 |
| pedro3005 | then you press ESC | 02:35 |

| armorsmith42 | if I were looking to point a student at an irc channel for people learning to use the terminal, would this be it? | 03:30 |
| zkriesse | armorsmith42: yes | 03:30 |
| armorsmith42 | mmk, I wasn't sure if it was more geared toward people using the GUI stuff or not. | 03:31 |
| zkriesse | armorsmith42: it's a team dedicated to help the new users | 03:34 |
| zkriesse | armorsmith42: so both really | 03:34 |
| xiaogui | Hi, does anyone here living in China? I'm wondering how i could get around of the GFW and be able to get access to Youtube | 03:35 |
| xiaogui | like using proxy? | 03:35 |
| stlsaint | search synaptic for proxies | 03:42 |
| armorsmith42 | Please note that #ubuntu-beginners is not a lawyer and cannot be respondsible if you end up in jail or worse. | 03:43 |
| stlsaint | xiaogui: are you in china? | 03:46 |
| xiaogui | en, actually, i'm Chinese. :) | 03:46 |
| stlsaint | so is that a yes to living in china? | 03:47 |
| xiaogui | sorry, yes | 03:49 |
| stlsaint | ok, well you will know the internet censorship laws better than i and i thin proxies may be blocked by govt | 03:49 |
| xiaogui | yeah, it used to work but not now, so i'm trying to find another way | 03:50 |
| armorsmith42 | there is also tor. http://www.torproject.org/ please be careful | 03:50 |
| stlsaint | xiaogui: if it doesnt work theres probably a reason for it | 03:51 |
| xiaogui | thanks, i'll have a look :) | 03:51 |
| xiaogui | and the reason is it's blocked... :-( | 03:51 |
| xiaogui | Funny, i don't have access to http://www.torproject.org/ :\ | 03:54 |
| yax51 | hello | 03:55 |
| stlsaint | yax51: yes | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | xiaogui: of course you don't | 03:56 |
| yax51 | I jst updated to ubuntu 10.04 and now my sound doesn't work and I can't remember how to set it up again | 03:57 |
| sebsebseb | xiaogui: By the way I can go on Youtube if I want to, but its a site that I hardly ever go on, and would live quite happily without :) | 03:57 |
| xiaogui | If there's anything i don't like China, it's the internet control by the gov. :( | 03:58 |
| xiaogui | sebsebseb: U don't live in China, do you? | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | xiaogui: nope | 03:59 |
| stlsaint | yax51: best i can give ya: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449&highlight=sound+troubleshoot | 04:00 |
| yax51 | thanks! | 04:00 |
| xiaogui | but don't get me wrong, i love my country, just not the internet here. | 04:00 |
| stlsaint | doctormo: what brings you round these parts? ;) | 04:00 |
| doctormo | xiaogui: Where? | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | xiaogui: Maybe one day you can move to a country where Youtube isn't blocked. I woudn't recommend trying to get round something, that your goverment has set up, even if you don't agree with it. | 04:01 |
| xiaogui | doctormo: ? | 04:01 |
| doctormo | sipherdee: I was drugged and kidnapped by paultag on a trip around Boston. | 04:01 |
| stlsaint | doctormo: tab fail :D | 04:01 |
| stlsaint | doctormo: and we are referring to china | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | xiaogui: Also recently Google and China had problems, which is probably partly the reason for why Youtube is blocked. | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | xiaogui: Since Google own Youtube | 04:02 |
| doctormo | sebsebseb: Well civil disobedience has it's place so long as the person conducting it understands the risks and reasons. America would never have been free of British rule without it. | 04:03 |
| xiaogui | sebsebseb: i'd really love to experience a different life outside of China, but i can't afford that at the moment. I just graduated in June. | 04:03 |
| stlsaint | doctormo: china is quite different in reacting to civil disobedience | 04:04 |
| xiaogui | Away(preparing for lunch) | 04:05 |
| doctormo | stlsaint: More different than public hanging, flogging, being shipped to Australia or just shot? | 04:05 |
| stlsaint | doctormo: aye, but all behind closed doors | 04:05 |
| doctormo | stlsaint: I | 04:05 |
| stlsaint | doctormo: thanks for bit on user day! | 04:06 |
| doctormo | stlsaint: I'll give you that the British didn't mind doing their flogging in the open, still I say if you know the risks it's your own free choice to not-cooperate Ghandi style. | 04:06 |
| doctormo | yvw | 04:06 |
| stlsaint | doctormo: i would agree with most situations but i feel that china would be highly intolerant to ghandi! | 04:07 |
| yax51 | great sound works....but not the headphone jack, but there doesn't seem to be anything about configuring that here.... | 04:10 |
| doctormo | stlsaint: It wasn't just ghandi you know, he did have the spiritual pride of his country and lots of people who were killed too. I don't like China either, but I think in the west we've become far too attached to safety over freedom in terms of government. Although I believe the culture in China is very different from India so it's probably not the same thought there. | 04:12 |
| stlsaint | yax51: sorry i couldnt be of more help | 04:12 |
| yax51 | no no no it was very helpful....at least I have sound again... | 04:12 |
| stlsaint | doctormo: im in the Army...i dont put too much above freedom | 04:12 |
| yax51 | butat least you sent me to the right place to look and for that I am grateful | 04:12 |
| stlsaint | yax51: :D glad to help | 04:13 |
| doctormo | stlsaint: which one? | 04:13 |
| stlsaint | doctormo: Army | 04:14 |
| doctormo | stlsaint: There is more than one, or are you a UN peace keeper / something centralised like in starship troppers? | 04:15 |
| stlsaint | doctormo: oh sorry, no im in the U.S Army | 04:16 |
| doctormo | stlsaint: Ah, I know plenty of people who went into the Royal battalions in the British Army, so you never know. | 04:16 |
| mohi1 | stlsaint, peace =] | 04:16 |
| stlsaint | doctormo: nice | 04:16 |
| stlsaint | mohi1: :) | 04:17 |
| mohi1 | stlsaint, sup? | 04:18 |
| commander_ | anyone here? | 04:22 |
| armorsmith42 | yes | 04:22 |
| stlsaint | sup | 04:22 |
| stlsaint | doctormo: hey how does one get rss feed from your site? | 04:22 |
| doctormo | stlsaint: Which site? doctormo.org? | 04:23 |
| commander_ | sup guys, I am middle in my installation of kubuntu and well it ask or begs for a swap partition during install | 04:23 |
| stlsaint | commander_: you must be setting your partitions manually yes? | 04:24 |
| commander_ | may I assign a swap partition after the installation? Because i want to secure erase my raid array and then if i need add swap on that drive. | 04:24 |
| commander_ | stlsaint, ye | 04:24 |
| commander_ | Got an SSD so swap on it would not be optimal | 04:24 |
| Scunizi | commander_: swap doesn't need to be huge.. 1 gig.. or 2x of ram but no more than 4 gig | 04:24 |
| commander_ | yes but several rights and reads would wear the SSD | 04:24 |
| commander_ | writes* | 04:25 |
| Scunizi | true.. can you carve a little out of another drive? | 04:25 |
| stlsaint | commander_: what are you installing on? | 04:25 |
| commander_ | installing root and home on SSD | 04:25 |
| commander_ | got 4gb of ram, but dunno if it is enough. | 04:25 |
| stlsaint | commander_: i meant what type of system? | 04:26 |
| commander_ | PC? | 04:26 |
| Scunizi | home gets more action than swap does in most cases | 04:26 |
| stlsaint | commander_: yes | 04:26 |
| commander_ | stlsaint, want to know the system spec or ? | 04:27 |
| Scunizi | he might mean file system type | 04:27 |
| commander_ | well gonna have Ext4 on it. | 04:27 |
| commander_ | for now it is a non partitioned drive. | 04:27 |
| stlsaint | commander_: just what kind of system/(notebook, laptop IE; hp pavillion dv6000 or whatever) | 04:27 |
| stlsaint | or is it a netbook? | 04:28 |
| commander_ | normal PC, Asus m4a79t deluxe motherboard, with Radeon 5970, 2xWestern Digital Raptor 150 Drives raid 0, 1tb WD caviar drive and Corsair Force120 SSD | 04:29 |
| commander_ | would not dare to install kde on a netbook :P | 04:30 |
| Scunizi | there is a version for them | 04:30 |
| commander_ | rmx ? | 04:30 |
| stlsaint | commander_: why may i ask are you wanting to installing / and swap to a ssd? | 04:30 |
| commander_ | root? | 04:30 |
| Scunizi | commander_: if you're going to zero out the raid array anyway.. I think you can do that from a live cd... | 04:30 |
| commander_ | well swap i want to avoid installing on my ssd and then maybe install it, if I have to on my raid drive | 04:31 |
| stlsaint | commander_: how big you say that ssd is? | 04:32 |
| commander_ | 120GB | 04:32 |
| commander_ | or GiB not sure. | 04:32 |
| stlsaint | alright there are some ups and down to it....for starters you probably WONT want to use ext filesystem due to excessive writes | 04:33 |
| stlsaint | now im no expert on the subject so of course google will be our friend | 04:33 |
| commander_ | hm heard that ext4 have trim support | 04:33 |
| commander_ | also that i should have the command -notime so it would not write datestamps or something | 04:34 |
| stlsaint | commander_: what issue are you having? or are you asking for advice? | 04:35 |
| commander_ | stlsaint, noatime in fstab, | 04:35 |
| yax51 | hey what was that link for sound issues again? | 04:35 |
| stlsaint | yax51: best i can give ya: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449&highlight=sound+troubleshoot | 04:36 |
| commander_ | stlsaint, well if I can make a swap drive after installation on another drive, and if I have to when I got 4B of ram | 04:36 |
| yax51 | thanks | 04:36 |
| stlsaint | commander_: swap does NOT pull from your ram (jfyi) | 04:36 |
| stlsaint | commander_: why would you need two swap partitions? just put it on whatever drive you ultimately want it on | 04:37 |
| stlsaint | commander_: if you installing on drive A and later want it on drive B than you can delete swapA and create swapB with livecd | 04:37 |
| duanedesign | als o if you do use ext3/4 you can limit disk writes with a guide like this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=839998 | 04:37 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: i had that guide, was waiting to paste it :D | 04:38 |
| stlsaint | commander_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=839998 | 04:38 |
| commander_ | stlsaint, I wont create 2 swap spaces, so far i manually did a partition for / with 8GB and /home 10GB then when i continued the installer ask if I am sure not to add a swap drive because it makes better use of the RAM when there is one. | 04:39 |
| stlsaint | commander_: correct, a base install will require a root partition and a swap partition, a seperate /home is not mandatory | 04:40 |
| stlsaint | commander_: may i ask why you are only using 10gb for home when you have 1tb drive? unless you have seperate "data" drive | 04:40 |
| commander_ | the 1tb drive is one big partition and almost full :) | 04:41 |
| commander_ | stlsaint, the tb drive will be a data drive. | 04:41 |
| stlsaint | commander_: just some advice, 8gb should be plenty for root but 10gb for home, you may run out of space rather quickly | 04:42 |
| commander_ | stlsaint, but home is more likely for settings etc. most of my data would be on my raid array. Or so i thought. | 04:43 |
| stlsaint | doctormo: ping | 04:43 |
| stlsaint | doctormo: did you catch my rss feed question? | 04:43 |
| commander_ | stlsaint, what do you think ? | 04:46 |
| stlsaint | commander_: really its up to you and your drive space that you have | 04:47 |
| stlsaint | commander_: for instance i have a 200gb drive on lappy.... | 04:47 |
| stlsaint | i dual boot two linux flavors...30gb goes to one distro and the rest to ubuntu | 04:48 |
| stlsaint | i give 15gb to root, 2gb swap and the rest to home | 04:48 |
| duanedesign | stlsaint: there is also this thread by sdennie on the same topic (power saving/reduce disk activity) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=847773 | 04:48 |
| stlsaint | oh sorry and i give 200mb to /boot :D | 04:48 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: yep, got that one too ;) | 04:48 |
| stlsaint | brb folks | 04:49 |
| duanedesign | d'oh thought i found one you might not have , :D | 04:49 |
| stlsaint | hehe not this time | 04:49 |
| commander_ | hm maybe will try that on my laptop | 04:49 |
| commander_ | HP computer have a bad quality battery for their computers. | 04:49 |
| commander_ | would be awesome to have a longer life than 3 hours :) | 04:50 |
| commander_ | OT though, duanedesign, For what I know it is possible to change /home partition right? | 04:50 |

| yax51 | ok so I was able to find and install the audio drivers I needed successfully, however I am having issues with the final part of the process.... | 05:08 |
| yax51 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449&highlight=sound+troubleshoot | 05:09 |
| yax51 | specifically step 4.....I keep getting this error message: WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.save, it will be ignored in a future release. | 05:13 |
| yax51 | hmmm in alsamixer it's not even detecting a headphone jack..... | 05:19 |
| yax51 | well it's detecting it but it appears to be disabled... | 05:22 |
| asfd | anybody here that can help? | 05:22 |
| yax51 | hmmm....i can mute the headphone port and it mutes the speakers.... | 05:30 |
| yax51 | any idead? | 05:30 |
| yax51 | ideas? | 05:30 |
| kermiac | yax51: I'm only guessing, but it looks like the filename above is wrong | 05:33 |
| mohi1 | yax51, See System -> preferences -> sound and check the output there | 05:33 |
| kermiac | yax51: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.save should be "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" (i.e. without the ".save" on the end of the filename) | 05:34 |
| mohi1 | kermiac, hi. I forgot to scroll up :D | 05:34 |
| yax51 | ok.....the output is currently on analog speakers and when I switch it to analog headphone I get nothing | 05:35 |
| kermiac | hi there mohi1 :) | 05:35 |
| yax51 | and nothing with analog output either | 05:35 |
| commander_ | how do i launch ati control panel from terminal ? | 05:36 |
| mohi1 | yax51, see what kermiac said. I was not noticing the above reports | 05:36 |
| kermiac | commander_: Try "amdxdg-su -c amdcccle" (w/o quotes) | 05:37 |
| yax51 | thats odd I get a bad file name, I am using the command : sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel (the hda-intel is my sound card) | 05:38 |
| commander_ | kermiac, it bring s the same thing as from menu the issue is that after entering my password it disappears and nothing is happening | 05:39 |
| commander_ | launching control panel without admin rights shows it. | 05:39 |
| kermiac | yax51: have you gone through the links in | 05:40 |
| kermiac | !sound | 05:40 |
| ubot2 | 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. | 05:40 |
| kermiac | yax51: also, have you made sure your headphones aren't muted in alsamixer? | 05:41 |
| yax51 | yes.....in alsamixer they show that they are on, but there is no volume bar like the rest of the devices that are working | 05:42 |
| kermiac | commander_: when launching the control center from a terminal, does it display any error message? | 05:42 |
| commander_ | kermiac, nopp nothing | 05:42 |
| commander_ | kermiac, usual one works from menu, the admin one is asking for a password but after typing it and pressing enter is shows something really fast and dissapears. | 05:43 |
| commander_ | kermiac, if i launch it from terminal it just goes back to promts | 05:43 |
| commander_ | kermiac, hm after several tries to read the text that disappears it is typing; authentication failed or fails not sure exactly | 05:45 |
| yax51 | well let me try to purge and reinstall and see if that does anything | 05:45 |
| kermiac | yax51: what does "lspci | grep Audio" (from a terminal window show) | 05:46 |
| kermiac | commander_: "authentication failed" means it doesn't recognise your password. | 05:46 |
| commander_ | kermiac, but I am typing the right one... | 05:47 |
| commander_ | it works for all other apps. | 05:47 |
| kermiac | commander_: do other functions that require sudo privalages work? i.e. synaptic | 05:47 |
| commander_ | yea | 05:47 |
| commander_ | sudo su works.. | 05:47 |
| kermiac | ok | 05:47 |
| yax51 | kermiac: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) | 05:48 |
| kermiac | commander_: what happens if you kill it first "sudo killall amdcccle", then run "amdxdg-su -c amdcccle" | 05:49 |
| kermiac | commander_: that's still grasping at straws, I've never heard of that happening before :( | 05:50 |
| commander_ | kermiac, nopp | 05:51 |
| commander_ | for notice I run Kubuntu x64bit | 05:51 |
| commander_ | but the usual control panel works but i cannot manage my display settings and that is why i want to run the root one. | 05:52 |
| kermiac | commander_: can you try opening it in a guest account or another user's account? | 05:52 |
| kermiac | commander_: I'm not sure if Kubuntu x64 would make a difference, i don't think it would | 05:53 |
| commander_ | hm, i have no other accounts. | 05:53 |
| commander_ | it is vanilla kde installment. | 05:53 |
| kermiac | commander_: you could also try "gksu amdcccle" | 05:53 |
| commander_ | hm gksu is not installed, is there a kde variant ? | 05:54 |
| commander_ | hm it is kdesu | 05:55 |
| kermiac | commander_: another thing to try, have you run "aticonfig --initial" yet? I've heard it can do weird things if you don't do that | 05:56 |
| duanedesign | check out the new sound applet in 10.10 http://ln-s.net/7FiO | 05:56 |
| commander_ | nopp will try, | 05:56 |
| commander_ | "unable to find any supported screen sections" | 05:57 |
| kermiac | commander_: you will need to rename your xorg.conf | 05:57 |
| kermiac | sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.OLD | 05:58 |
| kermiac | commander_: ^^ | 05:58 |
| commander_ | ok | 05:59 |
| commander_ | did a initial after that and got, "could not find config file, trying to create empty one, failed to create empty one" | 05:59 |
| commander_ | hm sudo for initial right? | 05:59 |
| kermiac | commander_: ok, one sec. I will find the instructions | 06:00 |
| yax51 | WAIT!!!! | 06:00 |
| kermiac | sorry, I've got to go (I'm at work) can someone pls find the fglrx install instructions for commander? | 06:00 |
| yax51 | its detecting an intel hda device....however I am using a realtek hda device....therefore its not going to work properly until it can find the correct device!!!!! | 06:01 |
| yax51 | so the question is.....how do I find my realtek device? | 06:02 |
| commander_ | kermiac, hm but I installed ATi drivers from restricted, should it not work by then ? | 06:02 |
| duanedesign | commander_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 06:05 |
| duanedesign | commander_: which ati card do you have? | 06:07 |
| commander_ | duanedesign, 5970 | 06:08 |
| commander_ | duanedesign, also fglrxinfo gives me right info | 06:08 |
| commander_ | display 0:0 screen0, ATI inc, radeon 5900 series, version 3.2.9756 | 06:08 |
| duanedesign | yax51: the warning about adding .conf to the files is just a warning | 06:08 |
| duanedesign | yax51: you should add .conf to the end of the files eventually though | 06:09 |
| commander_ | duanedesign, fglrx-amdcccle gives command not found. | 06:09 |
| yax51 | true, but it wasnt working.....I find the drivers I need however.....can't remember how to install them... | 06:10 |
| commander_ | hm sudo amdcccle works. | 06:14 |
| yax51 | ok so I downloaded the linux package for realtek hda but can't remember how to install it....any help | 06:14 |
| yax51 | the file is: LinuxPkg_5.14rc5.tar.bz2 | 06:14 |
| duanedesign | yax51: can you run the command: lsmod | grep snd-hda-* | 06:16 |
| duanedesign | see if it finds snd-hda-intel | 06:17 |
| yax51 | it didnt do anything | 06:18 |
| duanedesign | yax51: ok try: sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel | 06:19 |
| duanedesign | that should be the kernel module for Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD | 06:20 |
| duanedesign | commander_: does the command: fglrxinfo | 06:22 |
| duanedesign | return anything? | 06:22 |
| commander_ | duanedesign, yea | 06:22 |
| commander_ | duanedesign, ati card, driver version etc. | 06:22 |
| commander_ | duanedesign, it works with sudo amdcccle | 06:22 |
| duanedesign | ok so the driver is working | 06:22 |
| commander_ | but unable to enable 3 displays.. | 06:23 |
| duanedesign | just 3 :) | 06:23 |
| commander_ | yea, enables 2 but the third one is disabled. | 06:23 |
| commander_ | xinerama tells me that only one desktop is enable, but have no idea what that means. | 06:23 |
| yax51 | ok I'm back...where was I? | 06:27 |
| commander_ | hm seems that Eyefinity is not supported in Linux yet. | 06:28 |
| duanedesign | yax51: did you try : sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel | 06:30 |
| kermiac | sorry about having to leave in the middle of that commander_ | 06:30 |
| yax51 | it just gives me the warning about the .conf | 06:31 |
| commander_ | kermiac, no problems | 06:32 |
| commander_ | kermiac seems that sudo amdcccle works instead. | 06:32 |
| duanedesign | yax51: does lsmod | grep snd return the snd-hda-intel | 06:33 |
| kermiac | commander_: that's good to know | 06:33 |
| commander_ | kermiac, only to notice that i have no idea how to enable 3 displays :P | 06:34 |

| ZachK_ | What up punks | 06:36 |
| commander_ | depressed | 06:36 |
| ZachK_ | Oi | 06:36 |
| commander_ | 3monitors but now way to enable them all because Eyefinity is not supported in current linux drivers :/ | 06:37 |
| yax51 | how do I change which driver it wants to use? | 06:40 |
| yax51 | its using the hda intel driver, however my card is a realtek hda card | 06:41 |
| duanedesign | you card is Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD? | 06:42 |
| duanedesign | yax51: can you run the command: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec | 06:44 |
| yax51 | Codec: Realtek ALC663 | 06:45 |
| duanedesign | that will return your sound card(s) | 06:45 |
| yax51 | Codec: Nvidia MCP78 HDMI | 06:45 |
| duanedesign | ok | 06:46 |
| duanedesign | yax51: ok run the command | 06:48 |
| duanedesign | zcat /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz | 06:48 |
| duanedesign | you will see the ALC663 listed | 06:48 |
| duanedesign | Read all of them and try to find the one which is more similar to your sound card, for example if you have a laptop, you can choose "acer" | 06:49 |
| duanedesign | yax51: you will then open: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | 06:51 |
| duanedesign | Then paste the following line at the end of the file (change MODEL with the type of sound card's model, in our example it should be "acer" (without quotation marks)): | 06:51 |
| duanedesign | options snd-hda-intel model=MODEL | 06:51 |
| duanedesign | so: options snd-hda-intel model=acer | 06:52 |
| duanedesign | though that is a bad example, looks like that is not one of the options for your card | 06:52 |
| duanedesign | most often if sound is working, but not headphones, or not external speakers and you have checked alsamixer and all the sound preferences and you use hda-intel this is the culprit | 06:53 |
| duanedesign | oh and the final step is reboot | 06:54 |
| yax51 | ok I want to save this file correct? | 06:54 |
| duanedesign | yes | 06:54 |
| kermiac | https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/65752 looks promising, although it is from 9.04 | 06:54 |
| yax51 | alright standby....rebooting | 06:54 |

| yax51 | ok im back | 07:00 |

| yax51 | hmmm still nothing | 07:02 |

| AJH101 | Hi - cannot add a photo to my Fb account in Pidgin - any ideas? | 07:03 |
| duanedesign | yax51: wow, and options snd-hda-intel model=g50v didnt help? | 07:04 |
| yax51 | nope.....what was the codec command again? | 07:04 |
| duanedesign | cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec | 07:05 |
| duanedesign | yax51: kermiac found a good Launchpad Answer. Try replacing the last line you added to the end of alsa-base.conf with http://paste.ubuntu.com/463341/ | 07:07 |
| yax51 | yeah it shows the realtek alc663 codec, and detects it when i run aplay -l, but in the sound settings only th analog settings work, not the digital ones | 07:07 |
| duanedesign | ok one sec | 07:08 |
| yax51 | ok.....what was the command to edit to alsa-base.conf again? | 07:08 |
| duanedesign | yax51: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8502681&postcount=8 | 07:09 |
| duanedesign | yax51: the command was : sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | 07:09 |
| duanedesign | yax51: the file might be /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base if you have not added the .conf yet | 07:10 |
| yax51 | ok added the lines needed....another reboot? | 07:13 |
| yax51 | no change.... ;( | 07:20 |
| duanedesign | yax51: ok | 07:21 |
| yax51 | maybe my audio does't like 10.04...... | 07:21 |
| duanedesign | yax51: and we are adding it to the right file. The file isnt blank is it? There is other stuff in there you are just adding these lines to the bottom? | 07:22 |
| === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler | ||
| yax51 | yes sir.... | 07:25 |
| duanedesign | ok | 07:26 |
| yax51 | what I don't understand is why it doesn't like the realtek hda codecs and drivers.......they are there and installed, but it refuses to acknowledge them... | 07:26 |
| yax51 | maybe its something in the build itself that doesn't like realtek hda | 07:27 |
| yax51 | when was this version released? april? maybe I should go back to 9.10 and wait on this one for a bit....... | 07:29 |
| duanedesign | yax51: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 07:31 |
| duanedesign | yax51: i would try some of the other options for model | 07:38 |
| duanedesign | instead of g50v try some of the others listed for your card in: zcat /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz | 07:39 |
| duanedesign | 3stack-dig seems to be popular | 07:40 |
| yax51 | ummm that was bad....no audio at all..... | 07:46 |
| duanedesign | yax51: ugh | 07:50 |
| yax51 | yeah, its not even detecing a sound card now.... | 07:54 |
| duanedesign | what does : dmesg | grep snd_hda_intel | 07:56 |
| duanedesign | does that return a bunch of stuff? | 07:56 |
| yax51 | snd_hda_intel: `1c' invalid for parameter `enable_msi' | 07:57 |
| duanedesign | yax51: does the alsabase.conf line say options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 | 07:58 |
| duanedesign | thats the last line in sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | 07:59 |
| yax51 | stand by | 07:59 |
| yax51 | ok I got it back... | 08:02 |
| yax51 | its once again detecting the ALC663 analog, but not the digital | 08:04 |
| duanedesign | yax51: does this make any sense to you? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8502681&postcount=8 | 08:05 |
| duanedesign | i dont have those options but i have a different card | 08:05 |
| yax51 | no....I did look into that, but its for the mic, and my mic is working fine....just the digital output and the headphone jack specifically | 08:06 |

| duanedesign | yax51: i would keep the options snd-hda-intel model=m51va | 08:17 |

| zkriesse | duanedesign: agreed | 08:31 |
| duanedesign | i think the search that finally did it yax51 was: ALC663 analog not digital | 08:31 |
| yax51 | huh.....I would never have thought to word it like that at all | 08:32 |
| duanedesign | and i usually throw an 'ubuntu' in there for good measure | 08:32 |
| zkriesse | yax51: You'll find that what we lack here we more than make up in Google-Fu | 08:32 |

| cs1 | i need some help here | 10:08 |
| cs1 | i just started working in a new company today | 10:08 |
| cs1 | and its my first day of using ubuntu OS | 10:08 |
| Silver_Fox_ | How can we help ? | 10:08 |
| cs1 | and im wondering how to setup a server on ubuntu server? | 10:09 |
| cs1 | because i need to host the company website on the local server | 10:09 |
| cs1 | sorry if i ask the wrong questions at the wrong chat room | 10:10 |

| simar | I'm running Lucid but want to download source to fix FTBFS for maveric can i use apt-get source ?? | 11:06 |
| mohi1 | simar, if you think the source is safe from vulnerability, you can use aptitude. but be careful before using. try finding the applications in synaptic packet manager or software centre | 11:08 |
| geirha | simar: You could try adding the deb-src repository for maverick, temporarily, then do sudo aptitude update; apt-get source packagename | 11:15 |
| geirha | I don't know if that'll actually work though. | 11:15 |
| geirha | At any rate, you can go look up the source package at launchpad and download the .tar.gz and .dsc file ... that's basicly the files apt-get source downloads. | 11:16 |
| tdn | I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with encrypted home dirs. I had to do some maintenance including swapping of two users' UIDs and GIDs. So I did a deluser on the users and a delgroup on the groups. Then I created the users and groups again with the corrects UIDs/GIDs. Then I chowned all the users' files under /home/$USER and /home/.ecryptfs/$USER. Then I reset password with passwd $USER. But now the users cannot log in, thus cannot decrypt their files. | 12:52 |
| tdn | I have recovered the key with ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase and tried to rewrap it with ecryptfs-rewrap-passphrase, however, the users still cannot login via GDM. | 12:53 |

| ubot2 | zkriesse: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:33 |
| zkriesse | !patience | 18:33 |
| ubot2 | 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. | 18:33 |
| |jonathan| | cannot configure my usb modem in ubuntu | 18:35 |

| stlsaint | encryption uses (i think) UID with keys but you changed it causing authentication impossible | 20:52 |
| stlsaint | just my two cents on the issue | 20:52 |
| stlsaint | tdn: hopefully someone else will be able to better support you | 20:53 |
| tdn | stlsaint, so, how do I change it back? | 20:54 |

| Ger | Pedro you here | 22:29 |
| pedro3005 | hello Ger | 22:29 |
| Ger | The install worked it is on my harddrive now but still have another issue | 22:30 |
| Ger | thank you | 22:30 |
| pedro3005 | oh, GREAT! | 22:30 |
| pedro3005 | what is the issue? | 22:30 |
| Ger | the cursor is leaving a trail | 22:31 |
| Ger | mouse | 22:31 |
| Ger | when i move it arrow here another one in another spot | 22:32 |
| pedro3005 | phillw, ping | 22:32 |
| Ger | all over the screen | 22:32 |
| pedro3005 | Ger, I am sure that is because of your slow system | 22:32 |
| Ger | the speed or ram | 22:33 |
| pedro3005 | what I would advise is using a lighter version of ubuntu like Lubuntu | 22:33 |
| Ger | where do I get it | 22:33 |
| Ger | web site | 22:33 |
| pedro3005 | they have one over here http://lubuntu.net/ | 22:33 |
| pedro3005 | phillw is your lubuntu man | 22:34 |
| pedro3005 | but he seems to be away right now | 22:34 |
| phillw | I'm sorting the arrival of the new bot | 22:34 |
| pedro3005 | oh, okay | 22:34 |
| phillw | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 22:34 |
| Ger | should i install on top of lts | 22:35 |
| phillw | is the place to go for lubuntu | 22:35 |
| phillw | Ger: yes, you can add lubuntu | 22:35 |
| pedro3005 | phillw, Ger here has a slow computer (256 mb | 600 mhz).. the 10.04 install works (setting "nodmraid" as boot option), but he is experiencing a slow system. You think lubuntu would run fine on this? | 22:35 |
| phillw | 256Mb would be fine for lubuntu, it was it is designed for | 22:36 |
| phillw | A Pentium II or Celeron system with 128 Mb RAM is probably a bottom-line configuration that may yield slow yet usable system with Lubuntu. | 22:36 |
| pedro3005 | sounds like the game really | 22:37 |
| pedro3005 | phillw, is it possible to install lubuntu on top of a normal ubuntu install without it interfering with GNOME? | 22:37 |
| phillw | even with 256Mb RAm the ubiquity install may take a while, he may prefer to do it via the minimal install. | 22:37 |
| phillw | yes, it only takes up disk space, once they are happy with lubuntu theyhe can remove the gnome areas | 22:38 |
| Ger | i have 330 ram | 22:39 |
| phillw | Ger: if you want to pop onto #lubuntu i can discuss it further, in case there are people queueing up to ask a question on here | 22:39 |
| Ger | ok | 22:40 |
| Ger | thanks pedro for your help if i up my ram do you think this will run or the pc is too slow | 22:41 |
| pedro3005 | Ger, It could help, but I think it's a bit silly to invest on a 9-year-old computer. | 22:41 |
| Ger | ok thanks again | 22:42 |
| theophilus | Hey guys... so I have a bit of a problem... it's a long story, but it comes down to this: My brother and I want to do some music recording... I was using a portable version of audacity on Win7, but audacity doesn't actually support win7, so that ended up failing pretty epicly... so I decided to throw in a Linux Mint LiveCD, and see what would happen (if I could get audacity or ardour going. The problem: we're recording through a BOSS ME-25, and | 23:05 |
| holstein | hey theophilus | 23:06 |
| * holstein is an audio guy | 23:06 | |
| holstein | whats up? | 23:06 |
| theophilus | hey man, not a lot, you? | 23:06 |
| holstein | :) | 23:07 |
| holstein | theophilus: what interface are you using? | 23:07 |
| holstein | your internal sound card? | 23:07 |
| theophilus | hardware interface? | 23:07 |
| holstein | yeah | 23:07 |
| theophilus | We have a BOSS ME-25 plugged into my laptop via usb port. Um... internal sound card is what ever came with the laptop... intel maybe? *shrug* | 23:08 |
| holstein | so | 23:08 |
| holstein | you use the boss to capture the sound | 23:09 |
| holstein | does linux see it? | 23:09 |
| theophilus | ya... um, it doesn't look like it's seeing it (and I don't know the commands to check, but it's not showing up in the audio settings anywhere) | 23:10 |
| holstein | theophilus: let me suggest a proper live CD | 23:10 |
| holstein | http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html | 23:10 |
| holstein | its a live DVD | 23:10 |
| holstein | im working on a live ubuntstudio disc | 23:10 |
| holstein | but i dont have it together yet :/ | 23:10 |
| holstein | anyways | 23:10 |
| holstein | ALlinux has all of what you need to test with | 23:10 |
| holstein | theophilus: are you in front of the box? | 23:10 |
| holstein | with the boss plugged in? | 23:11 |
| holstein | running mint live? | 23:11 |
| theophilus | yup yup yup | 23:11 |
| holstein | OK | 23:11 |
| holstein | run lsusb | 23:11 |
| holstein | and see if you see something about the boss | 23:11 |
| holstein | if its not obvious | 23:11 |
| holstein | you can grab it | 23:11 |
| holstein | and pastebin it | 23:11 |
| holstein | http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 23:12 |
| holstein | after that | 23:12 |
| holstein | run aplay -l | 23:12 |
| holstein | theophilus: you know where to go to run those? | 23:12 |
| holstein | terminal? | 23:12 |
| theophilus | http://paste.ubuntu.com/463715/http://paste.ubuntu.com/463715/ | 23:12 |
| theophilus | yup | 23:12 |
| holstein | and just type those commands in | 23:12 |
| holstein | theophilus: cool | 23:12 |
| theophilus | oops... sorry, url fail | 23:12 |
| theophilus | http://paste.ubuntu.com/463715/ | 23:13 |
| * holstein got it :) | 23:13 | |
| holstein | yeah | 23:13 |
| holstein | so roland corp sholud be it | 23:13 |
| holstein | do | 23:13 |
| holstein | aplay -l | 23:13 |
| holstein | and arecord -l | 23:13 |
| holstein | too | 23:14 |
| holstein | if you want | 23:14 |
| holstein | while your making a pastebin for it :) | 23:14 |
| theophilus | http://paste.ubuntu.com/463716/ | 23:14 |
| theophilus | http://paste.ubuntu.com/463718/ | 23:15 |
| theophilus | (the last one has both) | 23:15 |
| holstein | hmm | 23:15 |
| holstein | not seing it there | 23:15 |
| theophilus | my brother just pointed out another option if this doesn't work (going straight through the mic port (something we've done before with some success) | 23:15 |
| holstein | let me suggest #opensourcemusicians | 23:16 |
| holstein | theophilus: yeah | 23:16 |
| holstein | that will work | 23:16 |
| holstein | with your internal card | 23:16 |
| holstein | but the boss might work | 23:16 |
| holstein | let me look around a bit | 23:16 |
| holstein | theophilus: not looking good | 23:19 |
| holstein | http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-BOSS | 23:19 |
| holstein | theophilus: if you want | 23:19 |
| holstein | put a strongly worded email together for boss reuesting linux support | 23:19 |
| holstein | the easy way to go is | 23:19 |
| holstein | just install ubuntu | 23:19 |
| holstein | and install audacity | 23:20 |
| holstein | and use your internal sound card | 23:20 |
| holstein | i like to call audacity a gate-way drug ;) | 23:20 |
| holstein | when you outgrow it | 23:20 |
| holstein | come back to #opensroucemusicians or #ubuntustudio | 23:20 |
| holstein | and we can talk about JACK + ardour | 23:20 |
| holstein | if you dont want to install linux | 23:22 |
| holstein | and you just want to run a live CD | 23:22 |
| theophilus | haha, yeah, I've tried ardour before. I coulnd't find the plug-ins I wanted though. but I'm sure they're there somewhere. I have ardour and audacity in ram on the Live enviroment I'm in now, so we'll probably give it a try | 23:22 |
| holstein | http://puredyne.org/ or AVlinux | 23:23 |
| holstein | theophilus: yeah, that should work | 23:23 |
| theophilus | Ya... AVLinux looks good... I'll have to try that out... JACK looks like fun, but I messed it up a couple times when we were playing with it, and it ended up just giving me a headache :P | 23:24 |
| holstein | its got a crazy learning curve | 23:24 |
| holstein | but there really is nothing like it | 23:24 |
| holstein | JACK + ardour + other FOSS | 23:24 |
| holstein | quite amazing | 23:24 |
| theophilus | iyo better than anything mac or win puts out? | 23:25 |
| holstein | i cant say better | 23:25 |
| holstein | theres nothing like it | 23:25 |
| theophilus | ya... good point | 23:25 |
| holstein | its just a different workflow | 23:25 |
| holstein | and JACK runs on OSX | 23:25 |
| holstein | maybe win too? | 23:25 |
| holstein | not sure | 23:25 |
| theophilus | ya... cool... | 23:25 |
| holstein | ive used JACK + ardour on OSX | 23:25 |
| holstein | worked great | 23:25 |
| theophilus | Well thanks for the help man! it's been great. ttyl, have a good one | 23:26 |
| holstein | good luck :) | 23:26 |
| theophilus | thanks | 23:26 |
