| pyrodood | I need guidance on setting up ubuntu x to output 720 resolution out of my 3-component output can anyone help me? | 05:18 |
| pyrodood | hello | 05:27 |
| stlsaint | pyrodood: sup | 05:27 |
| pyrodood | i'm looking to see if i can find some help | 05:28 |
| stlsaint | pyrodood: you say you have 3-component output? what do you mean? | 05:29 |
| pyrodood | 3-component hd | 05:29 |
| pyrodood | it also has hdmi, dvi, and vga | 05:29 |
| pyrodood | but i don't have an hdmi cable | 05:29 |
| pyrodood | and my plasma only has 3-component and hdmi connections, no vga | 05:30 |
| pyrodood | i have it hooked up with 3 component and was functioning in windows | 05:30 |
| pyrodood | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_video | 05:31 |
| pyrodood | basically i'm on a vga monitor now cause after boot into ubuntu nothing shows up on my tv | 05:32 |
| stlsaint | so you are wanting to dual video? | 05:33 |
| stlsaint | or just use one video with 720 resolution? | 05:33 |
| pyrodood | well not really, i just want to output the 720 resolution to my tv | 05:33 |
| pyrodood | out of the component video output on the motherboard | 05:33 |
| pyrodood | out of the component video output on the motherboard, it has ati radeo 1200 built-in | 05:34 |
| phillw | stlsaint: the PM is my best shot on it | 05:34 |
| pyrodood | but if i could do dual monitors that would be ok i could just turn off the vga monitor | 05:35 |
| pyrodood | my goal was to just get it running on the tv though | 05:35 |
| stlsaint | phillw: their not wanting dual | 05:35 |
| stlsaint | unfortunately i must depart but i would recommend you start here: | 05:36 |
| stlsaint | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 05:36 |
| pyrodood | ok thanks | 05:36 |
| stlsaint | pyrodood: do you understand the use of xorg? | 05:36 |
| pyrodood | well not really | 05:36 |
| pyrodood | i mean i read some stuff and looked for xorg.conf but wasn't there | 05:37 |
| pyrodood | so i typed in xrandr | 05:38 |
| pyrodood | it shows vga connected (i'm on it), s-video disconnected, HDMI-0 disconnected | 05:39 |
| pyrodood | don't see anything listing the DVI or component video outputs unless they are somehow listed under HDMI | 05:40 |
| stlsaint | pyrodood: what system on you on and what release of ubuntu are you running? | 05:40 |
| pyrodood | 10.04 | 05:40 |
| pyrodood | Ubuntu | 05:40 |
| stlsaint | you say you DO NOT have a xorg.conf | 05:40 |
| phillw | stlsaint: in 10.04 you not have a xorg.conf | 05:42 |
| pyrodood | cp: cannot stat `/etc/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory | 05:42 |
| phillw | you have to make one if you really want to use it | 05:42 |
| stlsaint | aye, well there may be a problem worth fixing | 05:42 |
| stlsaint | pyrodood: please view post#8 here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1437980 | 05:44 |
| stlsaint | pyrodood: you dont have a xorg cause ubuntu doesnt make one on its own by default but you can make one yourself | 05:46 |
| pyrodood | so if i type in gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:47 |
| stlsaint | that will open a document for you but it will be blank | 05:47 |
| pyrodood | it opens up a blank document then I just add something in there and save it and then reboot? | 05:47 |
| pyrodood | also if xrandr only shows VGA, S-video, HDMI does that mean the system is not seeing my component video or DVI? | 05:48 |
| stlsaint | shows you the names of different outputs available on your system (LVDS, VGA-0, etc.) and resolutions available on each: | 05:49 |
| pyrodood | perhaps if i buy an HDMI cable and connect it to the tv it will automatigally detect it and work? then not fool with the xorg.conf unless that doesn't work | 05:50 |
| stlsaint | its all up to you mate | 05:50 |
| pyrodood | xranr list 3 devices - i'm thinking it should list at least 5 | 05:50 |
| stlsaint | pyrodood: it will list what your system has capabilites to do | 05:51 |
| stlsaint | pyrodood: alright really...this time i must go...sorry i cant be of more help | 05:51 |
| stlsaint | nite all | 05:51 |
| pyrodood | well the system is capable of component video cause i was using it in windows but i don't see it show up in xrandr | 05:51 |

| Maju | Hi all. I have a problem. I need to change permissions in usr/share/games/simutrans folder and cannot. | 09:25 |
| Maju | I know it's a "log as root" issue and I have tried the commands at the wiki, as recommended at forums but still can't change permissions | 09:26 |
| hobgoblin | Maju: got a link I can look at | 09:27 |
| Maju | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 09:27 |
| hobgoblin | oh - I know that one :) | 09:28 |
| hobgoblin | so what command are you using and what does it say when it fails | 09:28 |
| Maju | I' m trying to make the simutrans folder shared with Samba | 09:29 |
| Maju | So I can download a pak in it | 09:29 |
| Maju | I'm trying to use the graphic interface (I can't speak in UNIX) | 09:29 |
| hobgoblin | and using system - admin - shared folders is not working? | 09:30 |
| Maju | I'll try that. Hold on | 09:31 |
| Maju | I don't have that option. | 09:32 |
| Maju | I'm on Lucid | 09:32 |
| Maju | I remember on Hardy it was easy to temporarily log as root and operate the system at will. | 09:33 |
| hobgoblin | not used samba tbh - but I am on lucid and the option is there in my menu | 09:34 |
| hobgoblin | you can sudo -i to get a temporary root terminal | 09:34 |
| Maju | I just installed(reinstalled?) Samba cause the system asked me to but doesn't help | 09:35 |
| Maju | But I do not have any "Shared Folders" menu in System - Administration | 09:35 |
| Maju | Uh. Now I did something slightly different and says: "net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot share path /usr/share/games/simutrans as we are restricted to only sharing directories we own. Ask the administrator to add the line "usershare owner only = false" to the [global] section of the smb.conf to allow this. | 09:37 |
| Maju | I did the sudo -i, sudo su, etc but seems they are only useful for terminal | 09:38 |
| Maju | What I need is to temporarily be able to use the graphic interface as Root because in terminal I only know how to copy-paste what others suggest | 09:39 |
| Maju | You can use Ubuntu and have no idea on how to use a terminal, right? | 09:40 |
| hobgoblin | yep | 09:41 |
| hobgoblin | you can edit the file - gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf and do as it asks in the error | 09:42 |
| Maju | Thanks, I would never have been able to edit that file without your help. :) | 09:44 |
| hobgoblin | welcome | 09:44 |
| hobgoblin | make sure you put it in the global section | 09:44 |
| hobgoblin | good luck Maju | 09:45 |
| Maju | Managed to create a share but still cannot write in it. | 09:48 |
| Maju | Anyone there? | 09:55 |
| Maju | How do I change the owner of a folder from root to me (only user)? | 09:58 |
| duanedesign | hello Maju | 10:04 |
| duanedesign | Maju: you probably dont want to do that for folders outside of your $HOME | 10:04 |
| Maju | I probably do because I can't use a lot of stuff because it's controlled by Root | 10:05 |
| duanedesign | use 'sudo' | 10:05 |
| Maju | Sudo what? I said before I can't "speak" UNIX | 10:06 |
| Maju | NVM, think I found a shortcut here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/rootlauncher/ | 10:06 |
| Maju | I know acting as root might pose a danger but not being able to do it is a big problem | 10:07 |
| duanedesign | Maju: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 10:08 |
| duanedesign | that explains the Ubuntu file permissions well. Why we use sudo ect | 10:08 |
| Maju | I started there and was of no help. The big problem is that the terminal is not graphic so I'd need to learn a lot only to use MY computer | 10:09 |
| Maju | After all it's MY computer, right? | 10:09 |
| duanedesign | Maju: yes if you want to open a Nautilus window with root permissions use: gksudo nautilus | 10:09 |
| Maju | Thanks. That means I can alter permissions in such folders as root, right? (Haven't tried yet) | 10:10 |
| duanedesign | i wouldnt. Its like that for security reasons | 10:10 |
| Maju | I'm just manipulating game folders, it should be safe | 10:12 |
| Maju | I find the phrase "security reasons" patronizing and annoying. After all it's my PC's security | 10:12 |
| Maju | But thanks anyhow | 10:13 |
| duanedesign | If you change ownership of all files from /, a lot of bad things will happen. Don't do it. | 10:13 |
| duanedesign | but like you said it is your computer :) | 10:13 |
| duanedesign | Maju: we are here to offer our opinions and help. No one wants to 'annoy' you :) | 10:14 |
| Maju | I'm not changing ALL files but sometimes I need to allow admin to operate in such files | 10:14 |
| Maju | It may be wrong design by game-makers but the case is that that usr/share/games folder needs to be accessible | 10:15 |
| Maju | Anyhow, I solved my problem and could only do that ignoring the "it's dangerous" advice. I know you guys have our security in mind but I need to solve real problems beyond those concerns. | 10:17 |
| Maju | Thanks and bye | 10:17 |
| duanedesign | lol | 10:17 |
| duanedesign | beyond the concerns of messing up your computer? | 10:18 |
| duanedesign | its a thankless job, but someone has to do it :) | 10:18 |
| duanedesign | hello phillw* | 10:29 |
| DarkNemesis | how to petition the queen for royal warrant to arrest the cabinet for treason? they are a serious threat to the country's interests... | 10:45 |

| duanedesign | but that is definetly the most interesting question i have seen asked in here | 10:52 |
| duanedesign | :) | 10:52 |

| svaksha | hi. does anyone know how to mount a device that is not being recognized? | 14:26 |
| svaksha | the hdd until y'day had two partitions and now there is no root file system. | 14:26 |
| * svaksha had run fsck y'day and it corrected bad blocks but does not wven recognize the device today --so i cant retrieve anything and cant even reinstall ubuntu | 14:28 | |
| svaksha | TIA | 14:28 |
| nigelb | heh, I still seem to have voice here :) | 14:36 |
| paultag | nigelb: we've been all really busy and have not got to setting -VA to a lot of people | 14:37 |
| paultag | nigelb: sorry, I can devoice you if you'd like ;) | 14:37 |
| nigelb | haha | 14:37 |
| nigelb | paultag: I redirected svaksha here for help, just checking if you weren't giving her a hard time :D | 14:37 |
| * nigelb takes good look at /names | 14:38 | |
| svaksha | nigelb: the channel was silent till you came here | 14:38 |
| paultag | not me! | 14:38 |
| nigelb | svaksha: ah | 14:38 |
| paultag | I'm putting together my G1 phone I just got | 14:38 |
| * svaksha grins | 14:38 | |
| paultag | sorry, just want around svaksha :) | 14:38 |
| paultag | svaksha: someone will be along | 14:38 |
| nigelb | svaksha: meet paultag. He's like awesome ;) | 14:38 |
| paultag | bah | 14:38 |
| svaksha | paultag: hi | 14:38 |
| paultag | hey there svaksha :) | 14:38 |
| nigelb | paultag: she has some disk problems which is way beyond my capability to solve :) | 14:39 |
| svaksha | anyone know how to use testdisk? | 14:39 |
| paultag | svaksha: you mentioned it looks like there are no more partitions on the drive? | 14:39 |
| svaksha | paultag: i tried fdisk, fsck, e2fsck, with the live cd, nothing worked. No partitions are visible so i suspect hw trouble but wanted to ask before opening it to check for loose connections | 14:42 |
| svaksha | opening == checking hardware | 14:42 |
| svaksha | also, i was told testdisk can recover partitions. but i've never used it so any tips ? | 14:43 |
| paultag | humm | 14:43 |
| paultag | svaksha: I don't know much about that util | 14:43 |
| paultag | svaksha: but I can help with general stuff | 14:44 |
| paultag | hold on | 14:44 |
| paultag | brb | 14:44 |
| paultag | on the phone | 14:44 |
| phillw | svaksha: I'd open the box up and check the disk is rotating and that all the cables are secure. As you say, it does seem to be hardware as opposed to s/ware. Another thing to check is your BIOS - see if the device is listed there. | 14:48 |
| svaksha | i found that its a packge in ubuntu (apt-get works) but how do i use it for a diskthat is not mounted? | 14:48 |
| svaksha | phillw: seems like i dont have more options :( | 14:49 |
| phillw | i'd certainly want to see it listed in BIOS | 14:49 |
| svaksha | phillw: its not listed in bios. i suppose its bad sectors then :( | 15:08 |
| phillw | svaksha: if it's not in bios then it looks like a hardware problem. it's time to open the box and check leads. if it is a desktop unit, swapping the data lead may work if your machine has a lead with 2 connectors on it. other than that you'd be looking at using a caddy for the drive. | 15:13 |
| svaksha | phillw: what is a caddy? would you happen to know where the data lead would be located on the mobo? i removed the wires and put them back and after that too i cant see the bios | 15:17 |
| svaksha | i mean cant see hdd | 15:17 |
| phillw | svaksha: it is an external usb device that you can plug a hard-drive into. when you power up the machine, does the disk spin up? | 15:18 |
| svaksha | yes it does | 15:23 |
| phillw | hmm, well the disk is not 'dead' :-) | 15:23 |
| phillw | if it spins up there is hope. | 15:24 |
| stlsaint | morning folks | 15:24 |
| * svaksha prays it does work | 15:24 | |
| stlsaint | phillw: disk issues? | 15:26 |
| phillw | svaksha: has, the disk spins up, but the bios is not 'seeing' it. | 15:27 |
| phillw | svaksha: what is the make model of computer? it would let me get an idea of the type of hard drive you have. | 15:28 |
| phillw | wb svaksha | 15:45 |
| svaksha | phillw: thanks, i lost network and nigelb gave me the logs. ok, its an intel pentium 4, cpu 2.8ghz | 15:46 |
| svaksha | 32 bit | 15:46 |
| svaksha | pretty old m/c :) | 15:46 |
| phillw | no, the make and model of the computer, so I can have look to see how the hard disk is connected | 15:46 |
| * phillw perks up, sounds like it is made for lubuntu :-) | 15:47 | |
| svaksha | phillw: hmmm... its an assembled machine (here, in .in i can buy the mobo, hdd , etc and assemble it) | 15:47 |
| svaksha | it == desktop | 15:48 |
| svaksha | so if you are looking for a brand name (dell) , then its not | 15:48 |
| phillw | okies, there will be a grey 'ribbon' cable connecting the hard drive to the mobo and a set of leads for the power connector. | 15:49 |
| svaksha | yes, i removed and re-fixed it | 15:49 |
| phillw | does that lead have more than one connector for hard-drives on it? | 15:50 |
| svaksha | there are two actually, one ribbon and another colored (black, red, green) cable | 15:50 |
| svaksha | yes | 15:50 |
| svaksha | both connect to hte hdd | 15:50 |
| svaksha | the* | 15:50 |
| phillw | the coloured one is the power lead. it will have 4 connectors on it. the data lead is the ribbon cable, it may be worth trying the other connector on the data lead. | 15:52 |
| svaksha | phillw: what do you mean by 'worth trying the other connector' -- do you meanit should be interchnged | 15:59 |
| phillw | yes, try the other connector, it's a real long shot. Also check that where the data lead connects to the mobo is secure. | 16:08 |
| phillw | one other thing, how much dirt is there on the mobo? | 16:08 |

| person_ | Hey, I'm trying to install over my existing installation of 64-bit Ubuntu Linux with 32-bit Ubuntu linux, but am having some trouble. | 19:13 |
| person_ | During installation, I didn't see an option to "install over" an existing installation, so I went to the option to manually partition. | 19:13 |
| person_ | I tried clearing the current space allocated to Ubuntu 64-bit and replacing it with what was being installed but I get an error along the lines of... | 19:14 |
| holstein | person_: do you have anything else on the HD? | 19:14 |
| holstein | windows? | 19:14 |
| person_ | `no root file system defined` | 19:14 |
| holstein | or another partition you need do save? | 19:15 |
| person_ | yes i also have windows on it | 19:15 |
| person_ | and i want to keep windows | 19:15 |
| holstein | OK | 19:15 |
| holstein | in the manual partioner | 19:15 |
| holstein | you need to select a partition as root | 19:15 |
| holstein | i forget what it looks like in there | 19:16 |
| holstein | but i think its as easy as right clicking | 19:16 |
| holstein | and selecting root | 19:16 |
| holstein | on the 'big' linux partition | 19:16 |
| holstein | you could also wipe that partition | 19:16 |
| holstein | the linux one/ones | 19:16 |
| holstein | and start over and do it the way you did it before | 19:16 |
| person_ | hmm well I believe the partition for 64-bit is /dev/ext4 | 19:16 |
| person_ | so I clicked it and clicked delete | 19:17 |
| person_ | and it wiped it (though this can be reverted) | 19:17 |
| person_ | then in that free space I clicked add | 19:17 |
| holstein | you dont even need to delete it | 19:17 |
| holstein | but its OK if you did | 19:17 |
| holstein | just make a new ext4 part | 19:17 |
| holstein | and set it to root | 19:18 |
| person_ | hmm one sec (computer in other room). i don't remember there being a root option | 19:18 |
| holstein | root = "/" | 19:18 |
| holstein | look for that sign too | 19:18 |
| holstein | the "/" sign | 19:18 |
| person_ | ah okay one second | 19:19 |
| person_ | Worked! Thanks! | 19:20 |
| holstein | person_: :) | 19:20 |
| stlsaint | person_: oh no prob :D | 19:20 |
| stlsaint | holstein: oh sorry :) | 19:20 |
| stlsaint | i joined a room and first thing i see is Worked! Thanks! | 19:21 |
| holstein | no worries :) | 19:21 |
| holstein | it was an install issue | 19:21 |
| phillw | nice one holstein :-D | 19:21 |
| holstein | person had a windows install and a 64bit isntall | 19:21 |
| holstein | side by side | 19:21 |
| holstein | and wanted to wipe the ubuntu install | 19:21 |
| stlsaint | nice | 19:21 |
| holstein | and reinstall 32bit | 19:21 |
| holstein | and was having some issues in the custom partitioner | 19:22 |

| tpjmiami | 1) no sound whatsoever in firefox | 22:05 |
| tpjmiami | 2) system sounds/alerts get cut off halfway through | 22:06 |
| tpjmiami | 3) pulseaudio vctrl says "connection failed" | 22:06 |
| tpjmiami | any ideas anyone? | 22:06 |
| tpjmiami | i looked at alsamixer and all my sound settings are unmuted and maxed | 22:07 |
| ibuclaw | tpjmiami, does /dev/snd/* exist? | 22:08 |
| Cuthbeorht | just got mysqld working! | 22:09 |
| Cuthbeorht | finally, after 3 hours of putzing around | 22:09 |
| Cuthbeorht | tpjmiami: is it only firefox? | 22:09 |
| tpjmiami | ibuclaw, will check | 22:11 |
| tpjmiami | ibuclaw, yes it is a directory | 22:12 |
| tpjmiami | cuth: i tried playing music on movie player, and songs play very quickly (3 min song in 15 secs) w/ no sound | 22:14 |
| tpjmiami | cuth: but sound effects/alerts work, though cutoff as i mentioned | 22:14 |
| tpjmiami | before these latest updates sound worked fine on 10.04 | 22:14 |
| tpjmiami | any ideas? | 22:15 |
| tpjmiami | any ideas? had to reboot | 22:22 |
| Cuthbeorht | tpjmiami: do u know waht sound chipset ur using? | 22:22 |
| tpjmiami | tried testing music out and songs keep playing one after the other without stopping, w/ no sound | 22:23 |
| Cuthbeorht | have u tried to reinstall pulseaudio? | 22:23 |
| tpjmiami | these updates have completely messed up my computer | 22:23 |
| tpjmiami | un/re-installed padevchooser and pavucontrol, still don't work | 22:23 |
| tpjmiami | cuth: how do i check chipset? | 22:24 |
| Cuthbeorht | lspci | grep 'Audio' | 22:28 |
| tpjmiami | cuth: it says audio device: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 high def audio controller (rev 01) | 22:29 |
| Cuthbeorht | ok | 22:30 |
| Cuthbeorht | sounds like its recognized | 22:30 |
| tpjmiami | weird... i get sound for split second, then off, on a mozilla video | 22:31 |
| Cuthbeorht | but mp3's and other media play fine? | 22:31 |
| tpjmiami | cuth: no, see my comments above | 22:32 |
| tpjmiami | they play fast and out of control | 22:32 |
| Cuthbeorht | sorry | 22:32 |

| Cuthbeorht | dumb question: do sites like youtube work? | 22:38 |
