[00:12] nope [00:12] Looks like you are trying to install from an outside source instead of using System -> Hardware Drivers ? [00:13] You have an intel video card. They usually have the driver built into the kernel, I think. [00:14] I would use system -> hardware drivers if the X login was usable [00:16] 8xx intel card? [00:18] update manager might have fixed it, hm [00:20] there's no "VGA" in lspci anymore [01:00] how can I see shared windoz files?

[09:23] hello, ppl [09:48] i 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] in one users account, it continues to connect to the WPA2 connection even though i cant find the configuration for it anywhere [09:48] and on any account it refuses to connect to the WEP router at all [09:49] any ideas? [09:49] which chipset is this? wireless chipset [09:50] intel [09:50] not very descriptive there, pastebin me your lspci -nnk output [09:51] hmm. no.

I know they will both work, ive tested by selecting primary graphics card in bios [17:54] im 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 open [17:56] I think you can modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf for it. but it still uses twinview, it seems [17:58] xorg.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 card [17:59] If it is turned on in bios, it should work [17:59] im real new to linux so you'll have to excuse me if i have some odd misconceptions [17:59] no problem [17:59] bios is only letting me switch the primary card [17:59] so is this a bios doesnt support issue? [17:59] then xorg.conf should turn the sencond one on [17:59] oh ok [18:00] ill try that then [18:00] also might look into randr [18:00] ive been to 3 diff forums and all the threads i could find were about "i cant drag my apps" [18:01] well, randr was wrong. [18:01] okay i was looking at randr but it was late so..... [18:01] !twinview [18:01] twinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings [18:02] id have to lookup the onboard card and the second is a old matrox millenium2 i scavenged [18:03] Okay, 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 monitor [18:03] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo [18:03] and they include the matrox card reference [18:05] okay 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 have [18:05] Heh, that's why we try to help when we can. [18:05] How 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] thanks [18:06] Aquina: could it be because root owns everything except /home ? [18:07] I don't really know, it is just a guess. Your are way over my head, I think. [18:07] s/your/you [18:14] sudo repquota -au [18:14] *** Report for user quotas on device /dev/sda6 [18:14] Block grace time: 7days; Inode grace time: 7days [18:14] So I explicitly checked sda6 and there only /home/ exists. [18:15] Root indeed owns stuff below /home/ but that is not teken into accout by quota. [18:16] I also did a quotacheck which told m everything is ok. [18:16] one 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? [18:17] probably [18:17] im only 2 weeks clean of MS.... its a process [18:17] that is true [18:18] But you are doing it! It gets easier with experience [18:18] yeah [18:18] i knew enough to not completly shoot myself in the foot [18:27] Charlie 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] let me see [18:28] :) [18:34] Maybe ask in #ubuntu-devel? The quota package is in main, so they should know [18:35] ok, thx [18:35] good luck with that one. [18:36] I I asked in #xubuntu-devel and will try #ubuntu-devel in case "our guys" cannot help. [18:36] Thx, charlie! [18:36] You are welcome [18:37] How went your moval? (omg I hope the grammar wa right) I mean you said you have to move to a new location... [18:37] Went pretty smooth, except the internet connection. [18:38] Seems I dropped from 7mb/s to 1 [18:38] Argh! Internet... I will move on monday and 1&1 (big German ISP) told me it's going to take 3 weeks. :-(( [18:38] and, it is no longer reliable. But overall, it was not too hard on me. [18:39] Ouch! [18:39] Only took me two weeks to get it mostly working [18:39] I will have 50Mbit/s downstream but upsteam is more limited... I'll see. [18:40] downstream that fast counts... Takes me about 1 hour per image now, compared to 17 minutes before [18:40] Some 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] That's bad. I however would rather give away some mibs down to receive some for upstream. [18:41] true. too slow upstream is also bad. [18:41] Do you like your new location? [18:42] yes. The air is cleaner since it is a much smaller city. It is about 10 degrees cooler, which is good for me. [18:45] Sounds good! I'm gonna move to Frankfurt which is a bit bigger... Hope it won't mke me sick but I'm excited though. [18:46] It is good to be excited. any place you go can be really good, but you might have to work at it to make it good [18:47] hi i m zaib i m new to xubuntu can u plz tell me how the activate sound in xubuntu [18:48] anyone plz help [18:48] double-click the mixer in the top panel and unmute it? [18:50] unmute ? [18:50] Is there a red X in there on "mute" ? [18:50] what should i chose in sound card dropbox [18:51] the first one [18:51] there nothing ''mutu'' there [18:51] are there any volume controls in there? [18:51] sory mute [18:52] ya master [18:52] and it is not all the way to the bottom, right? [18:52] yes [18:52] its full [18:53] Help! I seem to be doing real bad today on sound issues [18:53] I am sorry. I don't seem to be very helpful now [18:53] what should i do [18:53] *lol* [18:54] Let's see if someone else can help you. [18:54] Aehm... try alsamixer (sudo apt-get install alsamixer) I gues and check in there if everything is avtivated and play with the options. [18:55] (sudo apt-get install alsamixer) where i have to write this [18:56] Furthir 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] zaib I open a terminal. [18:56] Applications-->Utls-->Terminal (I think) [18:56] is terminal Alt f2 [18:57] Alt+F2 [18:57] there is run in terminal chekbox [18:58] That should work, too. You can open one using Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal that stays around to use more than one command [18:59] in terminal i should write sudo apt-get install alsamixer ? [19:01] plz can anyone help here [19:02] 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 different [19:03] You have intel video? [19:03] intel video ? [19:03] ? [19:03] i810 is intel [19:03] zaib: sorry, that was for twig_ [19:04] twig_: I think some of the laptops have a physical switch to do that, but I could be wrong [19:04] this is just what the matrox link from the xinerama page is talking about [19:04] im gonna go look up the man page for that switch and see what that says [19:05] yeah, good idea. Sometimes there is no difference for laptops and desktops, sometimes there is. [19:05] can some one help me ! help me [19:05] !patience | zaib [19:05] zaib: 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. [19:06] Aquina is trying to help, but he is also doing stuff he needs to do. [19:06] ok [19:06] thanks [19:06] We are all volunteers here, and some people are trying to help and work at the same time. [19:08] i810 appears to be laptop or 1card2output [19:08] is the entry in xorg.conf enough to make the system start the pci slot up? [19:09] 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 id [19:13] twig_: should be, yes [19:14] damn win mindset [19:14] zaib, as I already mentioned open a Terminal and then enter (without quotes) "sudo apt-get install alsa-utils". [19:15] Then run the program in the same terminal by entering (without quotes) "alsamixer" [19:16] thanks ubottu ,aquina and charlie tca, problem solved :) [19:16] thanks [19:16] In 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] np :-) [19:16] You are welcome [19:16] grrrrr, i switched desktops from gnome to xfce cause it said xfce had xinerama support loaded already... didnt realize my keyboard shortcuts wernt gonna translate [19:16] uh-oh [19:17] no big i had only setup a couple of things [19:17] jes irritating try to open a term over and over with a shortcut that doesnt work [19:17] heh [19:17] yup [19:47] omfg [19:49] * charlie-tca nods [20:16] good night [21:41] hi [22:57] Hello, how can I get a list of mounted drives and mount points? [22:59] all drivers are installed and loaded by default, do you want to know what driver is needed to some app or what? [22:59] app/hardware device [23:01] Not driver, drive, as in hard disk or CD drive [23:02] ugh, sorry it's late here [23:03] type mount in terminal [23:03] I do that but I don't get them all. [23:03] that shouldn't be possible [23:04] I had a hard drive connected by USB that didn't show there or with 'lsusb' [23:05] does it work (elswhere)? [23:05] elsewhere? [23:06] anywhere, other machine or OS (or now xubuntu) [23:06] Ah! I've just realised it was NTFS, does 10.04 support that? [23:06] at least reading [23:07] The gui said it was blank but i'll have to check elsewhere for that particular drive [23:07] and it shouldn't matter in lsusb if it's known format [23:08] pressing ctrl+l shows where you are in file manager [23:11] Unfortunately 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 :-( [23:41] im working on a dualhead setup and finally found the right log file, xorg sees my second graphics card but has ???? by the bios, is this telling me bios hasnt assigned an address and i need to work this issue from there or is it just that what because its not enabled?
