SirTopHat_I have no xorg.conf00:11
SirTopHat_=_=00:11
charlie-tcaYou can create one and the system will use it00:11
SirTopHat_no ideas on my driver issue?00:12
charlie-tcanope00:12
charlie-tcaLooks like you are trying to install from an outside source instead of using System -> Hardware Drivers ?00:12
charlie-tcaYou have an intel video card. They usually have the driver built into the kernel, I think.00:13
SirTopHat_I would use system -> hardware drivers if the X login was usable00:14
Sysi8xx intel card?00:16
SirTopHat_update manager might have fixed it, hm00:18

CppIsWeirdi got a laptop that i configured to use a wpa2 wireless connection. naturally it didnt work very well so i set up another router that has WEP, to which the computer simply refuses to connect. I've since removed the WPA2 routers entry in the wireless config.09:48
CppIsWeirdin one users account, it continues to connect to the WPA2 connection even though i cant find the configuration for it anywhere09:48
CppIsWeirdand on any account it refuses to connect to the WEP router at all09:48
CppIsWeirdany ideas?09:49

CppIsWeirdsorry, i dont mean to take my pissy mood out on you. i've had it far beyond the stupid fucks in my house infecting their windows computers with viruses because their morons and every tiny linux problem takes 3 days to fix.09:54
CppIsWeirdits like either way i go im going to spend 6 hours every fucking day fixing their god damn computers because their nitwits.,09:55
CppIsWeirdanyways, none of this has any use here, sorrt.09:55
CppIsWeird* sorry09:55
hatake_kakashiso.. how exactly does it help with this situation apart from the fact that you're pissed off but needs help. All I can suggest is compat-wireless/wireless-testing basing on just generic `intel'09:56

twigdoes ne body know a link for enabling the pci slot for dual head?  all my searches are coming back for tweaking twinview and twnerama (?) once you have both monitors up.  I know they will both work, ive tested by selecting primary graphics card in bios17:53
twigim not even looking for high end graphics, i just want to be able to put a old crt on a desktop where i can leave xchat and a term window open17:54
charlie-tcaI think you can modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf for it. but it still uses twinview, it seems17:56
twigxorg.conf will enable the card?  i thought i was looking for somethin at a little deeper level so that the kernel would load the second graphics card17:58
charlie-tcaIf it is turned on in bios, it should work17:59
twigim real new to linux so you'll have to excuse me if i have some odd misconceptions17:59
charlie-tcano problem17:59
twigbios is only letting me switch the primary card17:59
twigso is this a bios doesnt support issue?17:59
charlie-tcathen xorg.conf should turn the sencond one on17:59
twigoh ok17:59
twigill try that then18:00
charlie-tcaalso might look into randr18:00
twigive been to 3 diff forums and all the threads i could find were about "i cant drag my apps"18:00
charlie-tcawell, randr was wrong.18:01
twigokay i was looking at randr but it was late so.....18:01
charlie-tca!twinview18:01
ubottutwinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings18:01
twigid have to lookup the onboard card and the second is a old matrox millenium2 i scavenged18:02
charlie-tcaOkay, this is a good starting point. If you get both cards to work, you can then add the xorg.conf files to show different images on each monitor18:03
charlie-tcahttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo18:03
charlie-tcaand they include the matrox card reference18:03
twigokay i was thinking that i was looking for a util to make the card work and then the xinerama to config so i didnt look into it as much as i guess i should have18:05
charlie-tcaHeh, that's why we try to help when we can.18:05
AquinaHow come repquota -au reports root  used 191836 (aprox 185 MiB) while /home/ has only 5 files owned by root which consume only a few KiB?18:05
twigthanks18:05
charlie-tcaAquina: could it be because root owns everything except /home ?18:06
charlie-tcaI don't really know, it is just a guess. Your are way over my head, I think.18:07
charlie-tcas/your/you18:07
Aquinasudo repquota -au18:14
Aquina*** Report for user quotas on device /dev/sda618:14
AquinaBlock grace time: 7days; Inode grace time: 7days18:14
AquinaSo I explicitly checked sda6 and there only /home/ exists.18:14
AquinaRoot indeed owns stuff below /home/ but that is not teken into accout by quota.18:15
AquinaI also did a quotacheck which told m everything is ok.18:16
twigone more Q....   i have a hard drive that i had to testdisk from a liveCD, when i got the box back up the drive was owned by 999 (i assume the testdisk ID) i reset it to my username, every now and then it tells me it cant access, this is beacuse i should have set ownership to root correct?18:16
charlie-tcaprobably18:17
twigim only 2 weeks clean of MS.... its a process18:17
charlie-tcathat is true18:17
charlie-tcaBut you are doing it! It gets easier with experience18:18
twigyeah18:18
twigi knew enough to not completly shoot myself in the foot18:18
AquinaCharlie do you think I shoudl ask the Author of the Kernel-Quota implementation or someone in the Ubuntu team whether this is an error? Whom could I ask?18:27
charlie-tcalet me see18:27
Aquina:)18:28
charlie-tcaMaybe ask in #ubuntu-devel? The quota package is in main, so they should know18:34
Aquinaok, thx18:35
charlie-tcagood luck with that one.18:35
AquinaI I asked in #xubuntu-devel and will try #ubuntu-devel in case "our guys" cannot help.18:36
AquinaThx, charlie!18:36
charlie-tcaYou are welcome18:36
AquinaHow went your moval? (omg I hope the grammar wa right) I mean you said you have to move to a new location...18:37
charlie-tcaWent pretty smooth, except the internet connection.18:37
charlie-tcaSeems I dropped from 7mb/s to 118:38
AquinaArgh! Internet... I will move on monday and 1&1 (big German ISP) told me it's going to take 3 weeks. :-((18:38
charlie-tcaand, it is no longer reliable. But overall, it was not too hard on me.18:38
charlie-tcaOuch!18:39
charlie-tcaOnly took me two weeks to get it mostly working18:39
AquinaI will have 50Mbit/s downstream but upsteam is more limited... I'll see.18:39
charlie-tcadownstream that fast counts... Takes me about 1 hour per image now, compared to 17 minutes before18:40
AquinaSome here in Frankfurt have 128 Mbit/s downstream and 10Mbit/s upstream because Frankfurt is Europes main peering point (450 ISPs and carriers).18:40
AquinaThat's bad. I however would rather give away some mibs down to receive some for upstream.18:40
charlie-tcatrue. too slow upstream is also bad.18:41
AquinaDo you like your new location?18:41
charlie-tcayes. The air is cleaner since it is a much smaller city. It is about 10 degrees cooler, which is good for me.18:42
AquinaSounds good! I'm gonna move to Frankfurt which is a bit bigger... Hope it won't mke me sick but I'm excited though.18:45
charlie-tcaIt is good to be excited. any place you go can be really good, but you might have to work at it to make it good18:46
zaibhi i m zaib i m new to xubuntu can u plz tell me how the activate sound in xubuntu18:47

zaibits full18:52
charlie-tcaHelp! I seem to be doing real bad today on sound issues18:53
charlie-tcaI am sorry. I don't seem to be very helpful now18:53
zaibwhat should i do18:53
Aquina*lol*18:53
charlie-tcaLet's see if someone else can help you.18:54
AquinaAehm... try alsamixer (sudo apt-get install alsamixer) I gues and check in there if everything is avtivated and play with the options.18:54
zaib(sudo apt-get install alsamixer) where i have to write this18:55
AquinaFurthir double check your hardware (plug, connectors, cable, card, etc.) and verify with lspci the hardware si correctly detected. I'd also reccomend you to check logs in /var/log/ especially messages, kernel, user.log and thelike.18:56
Aquinazaib I open a terminal.18:56
AquinaApplications-->Utls-->Terminal (I think)18:56
zaibis terminal Alt f218:56
zaibAlt+F218:57
zaibthere is run in terminal  chekbox18:57
charlie-tcaThat should work, too. You can open one using Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal that stays around to use more than one command18:58
zaibin terminal i should write sudo apt-get install alsamixer ?18:59
zaibplz can anyone help here19:01
twig_okay this page is talking about i810switch for switching between laptops lcd and external vga adapt,  this is a tower with an lcd plugged to the onboard and an old crt to the pci slot, would this then work the same or are the laptops fundamentally different19:02
charlie-tcaYou have intel video?19:03
zaibintel video ?19:03
zaib?19:03
charlie-tcai810 is intel19:03
charlie-tcazaib: sorry, that was for twig_19:03
charlie-tcatwig_: I think some of the laptops have a physical switch to do that, but I could be wrong19:04
twig_this is just what the matrox link from the xinerama page is talking about19:04
twig_im gonna go look up the man page for that switch and see what that says19:04
charlie-tcayeah, good idea. Sometimes there is no difference for laptops and desktops, sometimes there is.19:05
zaibcan some one help me  ! help me19:05

twig_i810 appears to be laptop or 1card2output19:08
twig_is the entry in xorg.conf enough to make the system start the pci slot up?19:08
twig_because if it is the code from this page should be enough to get an entry, id just have to find the identifier and the bus id19:09
charlie-tcatwig_: should be, yes19:13
twig_damn win mindset19:14
Aquinazaib, as I already mentioned open a Terminal and then enter (without quotes) "sudo apt-get install alsa-utils".19:14
AquinaThen run the program in the same terminal by entering (without quotes) "alsamixer"19:15
zaibthanks ubottu ,aquina and charlie tca,         problem solved :)19:16
zaibthanks19:16
AquinaIn case you don't know what I'm talking about I strongly recommend you to read the Xubuntu user manual shipped with the distro.19:16

PudabudigadaHello, how can I get a list of mounted drives and mount points?22:57
Sysiall drivers are installed and loaded by default, do you want to know what driver is needed to some app or what?22:59
Sysiapp/hardware device22:59
PudabudigadaNot driver, drive, as in hard disk or CD drive23:01
Sysiugh, sorry it's late here23:02
Sysitype mount in terminal23:03
PudabudigadaI do that but I don't get them all.23:03
Sysithat shouldn't be possible23:03
PudabudigadaI had a hard drive connected by USB that didn't show there or with 'lsusb'23:04
Sysidoes it work (elswhere)?23:05
Pudabudigadaelsewhere?23:05
Sysianywhere, other machine or OS (or now xubuntu)23:06
PudabudigadaAh! I've just realised it was NTFS, does 10.04 support that?23:06
Sysiat least reading23:06
PudabudigadaThe gui said it was blank but i'll have to check elsewhere for that particular drive23:07
Sysiand it shouldn't matter in lsusb if it's known format23:07
Sysipressing ctrl+l shows where you are in file manager23:08
PudabudigadaUnfortunately I can't try it on another system as another HD is taking up the ATA-USB device and I can't physically unplug it :-(23:11
