| stlsaint | harrisonk: sup | 03:00 |
| wastoid | hello, i installed ubuntu netbook edition today, it is my first attempt at linux. i cannot get the wireless to work. the system claims it is disabled and i can't seem to enable it | 03:30 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: sure | 03:35 |
| stlsaint | wastoid: what type of card do you have? | 03:35 |
| harrisonk | stlsaint I think I am going to reinstall | 03:36 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: alright | 03:36 |
| wastoid | ar 5001 wireless adapter | 03:37 |
| stlsaint | wastoid: to see card use command: lscpi | grep Wireless | 03:37 |
| stlsaint | opps | 03:37 |
| stlsaint | wastoid: sorry use: lspci | grep Wireless | 03:37 |
| wastoid | that command didn't show me the card | 03:40 |
| seidos | wastoid, you can try lscpi | grep Ethernet | 03:40 |
| stlsaint | wastoid: well what did the command give you? | 03:41 |
| stlsaint | wastoid: i know that command works | 03:41 |
| wastoid | a list of display options | 03:41 |
| stlsaint | wastoid: you ran it wrong mate | 03:42 |
| stlsaint | wastoid: please verify correct usage: lspci | grep Wireless | 03:42 |
| stlsaint | seidos: wireless is the issue here | 03:43 |
| wastoid | ah, thank you. atheros ar 5001 wireless adapter.. | 03:43 |
| stlsaint | seidos: try running both commands to better understand ;) | 03:43 |
| stlsaint | wastoid: please paste the entire output of card | 03:43 |
| seidos | stlsaint, i use Ethernet. works for me. didn't know Wireless worked. i think he put the | in the wrong place (i did the same thing when i ran it with Wireless for some reason too) | 03:43 |
| wastoid | ethernet controller: atheros communication inc. ar5001 wireless network adapter (rev 01) | 03:44 |
| stlsaint | wastoid: is that the output of the ethernet commadn or the wireless one? | 03:45 |
| wastoid | the wireless one, shall i run the ethernet? | 03:46 |
| stlsaint | wastoid: no need, one sec | 03:47 |
| seidos | wastoid, what version of ubuntu are you running? | 03:47 |
| bdogg | does anyone know what sound engine or render (i dont know the term) that xmms uses? | 03:48 |
| wastoid | 10.04 i think, netbook edition | 03:48 |
| stlsaint | wastoid: please run command: dmesg | grep Wireless | 03:48 |
| wastoid | command produces nothing.. | 03:49 |
| bdogg | xmms...sound engine? gstreamer xine? | 03:50 |
| seidos | wastoid, how about ifconfig? | 03:50 |
| stlsaint | wastoid: please run command: dmesg | grep wlan0 | 03:50 |
| seidos | bdogg, i saw you, but i have no idea. not even sure what a sound engine is. | 03:50 |
| stlsaint | bdogg: sorry mate, not sure about that | 03:50 |
| seidos | bdogg, especially if it has nothing to do with pulse audio or alsa | 03:50 |
| bdogg | umm i dont really know what the correct term is | 03:51 |
| bdogg | do you guys atleast know | 03:51 |
| bdogg | why it is that xmms has great sound quality | 03:51 |
| wastoid | { 12.633893] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready | 03:51 |
| seidos | i don't even use xmms | 03:51 |
| bdogg | compared to other players (rhythmbox, banshee) | 03:51 |
| bdogg | im a hude audiophile and i can hear the difference | 03:52 |
| seidos | bdogg, google is your friend. all i can say, unfortunately. | 03:52 |
| bdogg | lol | 03:52 |
| seidos | bdogg, or wait around, paultag might have some words for you. | 03:52 |
| seidos | he's in a meeting right now though | 03:52 |
| bdogg | i tried no one has ever mentioned it before | 03:52 |
| bdogg | will do seidos | 03:52 |
| paultag | seidos, sec, I'm folding laundry, I'll pop back in a sec | 03:53 |
| bdogg | laundry ftw | 03:53 |
| * seidos hides his metaphorical dirty laundry | 03:53 | |
| stlsaint | wastoid: im sorry but i must go: this should get the ball rolling for ya: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6089169 | 03:54 |
| paultag | Back | 03:54 |
| paultag | seidos, :P | 03:54 |
| paultag | bdogg, so, what's up, my friend? | 03:54 |
| bdogg | just wanna know some background info on xmms | 03:55 |
| paultag | Sure, what about | 03:55 |
| bdogg | because in my opinion it has superior sound quality | 03:55 |
| bdogg | to other players i have used | 03:55 |
| bdogg | i just want to know why | 03:55 |
| paultag | Hummm, my base reaction is to call bullshit on that | 03:55 |
| bdogg | lol | 03:55 |
| bdogg | well i dunno | 03:55 |
| paultag | bdogg, the reason being is that they all use the same transport | 03:55 |
| paultag | bdogg, so when they "load" and "play" a file, it's the same code, unless it's using a different transport with low latency, such as JACK | 03:56 |
| bdogg | to my music sounds clearer on xmms then on rhythmbox | 03:56 |
| paultag | bdogg, Unless it's an EQ setting, it's all in your head | 03:56 |
| paultag | bdogg, they should be using the same backend, and there is nothing that an app can do from it's place above the audio transport layer | 03:56 |
| bdogg | hmmm | 03:57 |
| bdogg | makes alot of sense | 03:57 |
| paultag | bdogg, unless it's giving up some of it's time slice to another internal thread | 03:57 |
| paultag | bdogg, then perhaps it's playing with more of the process quantum | 03:57 |
| paultag | bdogg, but that should not really make a big deal, I'm not sure. How big is the gap that you hear? | 03:57 |
| bdogg | lol you've pretty much lost me | 03:57 |
| paultag | bdogg, is it an offensive crackle? | 03:57 |
| bdogg | nopw | 03:57 |
| paultag | bdogg, ( I'm an audiophile as well ) | 03:58 |
| bdogg | *nope | 03:58 |
| paultag | bdogg, what's it doing? | 03:58 |
| bdogg | great | 03:58 |
| bdogg | im an audiophile, but i dont know nearly us much about sound as you do | 03:58 |
| paultag | I'm just coming from a programming backend | 03:58 |
| paultag | bdogg, what kind of audio artifacts are you getting? | 03:58 |
| bdogg | none from rhythmbox or xmms | 03:59 |
| bdogg | just that in xmms, bass and treble sound...i dunno... fuller? | 04:00 |
| bdogg | my equalizer is off on xmms | 04:00 |
| bdogg | *sound fuller | 04:00 |
| paultag | I don't recall a default eq on rb | 04:00 |
| paultag | bdogg, could you do me a favor and test using `mplayer' on the command line? | 04:01 |
| paultag | bdogg, that is bare-bones, almost direct interface to the audio subsystem, it should be close to as perfect as the system can do | 04:01 |
| bdogg | and how would i do that if you dont mind | 04:01 |
| paultag | bdogg, sudo apt-get install mplayer-nogui | 04:01 |
| paultag | bdogg, then take an audio file ( use an ogg or something non-mp* ) | 04:02 |
| paultag | bdogg, and give that a listen, compare to xmms / rb | 04:02 |
| bdogg | okay | 04:02 |
| paultag | bdogg, if you are super concerned about audio, you might want to look at a new audio subsystem, just FYI | 04:03 |
| bdogg | for instance? | 04:03 |
| paultag | bdogg, JACK is really nice, and it runs with a higher priority, so it gives more time ( and less latency ) to the audio being played | 04:03 |
| paultag | bdogg, it's hard to setup, but it's a lot better at handling audio output, and you will loose a bit of the "crap" | 04:04 |
| bdogg | any tutorials i can take a crack at? | 04:04 |
| paultag | bdogg, but remember, the weakest point of your setup will be the headphone jack -- I use a firewire quarter inch interface | 04:04 |
| paultag | bdogg, that is a bit better because there is more material keeping it isolated | 04:04 |
| bdogg | btw how do i use mplayer on terminal | 04:05 |
| paultag | whereas the headphone jack can be really weak when it comes to power interference | 04:05 |
| paultag | bdogg, mplayer /home/bdogg/Music/file.ogg | 04:05 |
| paultag | bdogg, http://jackaudio.org/ | 04:05 |
| paultag | bdogg, you can apt-get most of that | 04:05 |
| bdogg | using the mplayer-no gui | 04:09 |
| bdogg | sound similar to what i hear in xmms | 04:10 |
| bdogg | symbol crashes and drums sound clearer and deeper bass | 04:10 |
| === SpockVulcan is now known as AndrewMC | ||
| paultag | bdogg, Well, I'm not sure what to say. I don't see anything that looks like RB Is changing the audio -- my mids sound strong and I'm using RB. I'm also using a firewire hardware interface | 04:12 |
| paultag | bdogg, I'm not sure. Try poking about rb, but I don't see much reason for it to do that | 04:12 |
| bdogg | well under the sound menu, i have something installed called JACK control | 04:12 |
| bdogg | that i have no idea where it came from | 04:12 |
| bdogg | ummm another way to explain it to you....: xmms makes my mp3 files almost sound FLAC quality while rythmbox just sound normal | 04:18 |
| paultag | bdogg, sorry, that's not possible | 04:21 |
| paultag | bdogg, mp3 compression removes data, and it's not able to be restored | 04:21 |
| paultag | bdogg, the mp3 audio "cap" in quality is hard | 04:21 |
| paultag | bdogg, I'm thinking it might be in your head :) | 04:21 |
| bdogg | yeah.... i dunno, i just did a sound comparison | 04:21 |
| paultag | bdogg, it happens a lot | 04:21 |
| bdogg | and to me it just sounds better in rythmbox | 04:22 |
| bdogg | i mean xmms | 04:22 |
| bdogg | how do i intall the JACK thing | 04:22 |
| paultag | bdogg, so use xmms, all I'm saying is that there is no technological reason for it | 04:22 |
| paultag | bdogg, take a look at the guides on the jack website | 04:23 |
| paultag | bdogg, there's a lot you can do | 04:23 |
| paultag | bdogg, so there are a lot of choices to make | 04:23 |
| paultag | Oh shoot | 04:31 |
| paultag | was I too mean? | 04:31 |
| paultag | I did not mean to be :( | 04:31 |
| dengaku_sco | hello | 05:32 |
| Mohan_chml | heya dengaku_sco | 05:35 |
| dengaku_sco | i got a bit of a start up prob | 05:35 |
| Mohan_chml | dengaku_sco, shot | 05:37 |
| Mohan_chml | shoot* | 05:37 |
| dengaku_sco | when i start up ubuntu, it comes up ..(how to put this) not as fancy. think safe mode. at the login screen, a message pops up in the top corner saying, and i quote .. | 05:39 |
| Mohan_chml | Low resolution? | 05:39 |
| dengaku_sco | "Configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly." | 05:40 |
| seidos | dengaku_sco, did you do anything that might have caused it? | 05:40 |
| seidos | never seen that problem before | 05:41 |
| Mohan_chml | dengaku_sco, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-980711.html looked at that before? | 05:41 |
| dengaku_sco | where once it came up with the soft greys tones and round-edged windows, it now comes up with the cold greys and sharp edges of Win 95 | 05:41 |
| Mohan_chml | dengaku_sco, ^ | 05:42 |
| dengaku_sco | not that thread | 05:43 |
| Mohan_chml | After doing, executing sudo dpkg --configure -a solved the problem | 05:43 |
| Mohan_chml | dengaku_sco, lucid : https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+question/38900 | 05:44 |
| Mohan_chml | It is cleared | 05:44 |
| dengaku_sco | oh, and i installed Wine and Iced Tea the session before this happened, oh and FireFox Sync | 05:46 |
| dengaku_sco | (still reading that stuff) | 05:46 |
| dengaku_sco | same basic prob, but i do have my cursor and login prompt | 05:52 |
| dengaku_sco | tho, when i login with my right password, the screen blanks for a bit. and then the login prompt reappears | 05:53 |
| dengaku_sco | well, i guess ill try that out. so when i get to my problem screen, i press Alt+Cnrl+1 right | 05:54 |
| dengaku_sco | wwwell i guess ill try that out. bbl | 05:58 |

| hobgoblin | if your error is down to lack of space - running the apt-get clean command more than once will not accomplish anything | 17:34 |
| dengaku_sco | ok | 17:34 |
| Mohan_chml | heya hobgoblin =] | 17:34 |
| hobgoblin | hi Mohan_chml | 17:35 |
| * Mohan_chml yawns | 17:35 | |
| hobgoblin | dengaku_sco: a df -h will tell you more - look for the line with mounte on / and see what it says about Use% | 17:37 |
| dengaku_sco | um..barely understood that | 17:39 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 17:40 |
| hobgoblin | can you get into the system? | 17:40 |
| dengaku_sco | into ubuntu? (im in Vista right now) | 17:40 |
| hobgoblin | ubuntu - so can you get in with the recovery mode - that is from the ubuntu boot menu - second option | 17:41 |
| dengaku_sco | i can do that | 17:41 |
| hobgoblin | dengaku_sco: ok - so do that - then when you get the root menu choose root terminal and enter df -h | 17:42 |
| dengaku_sco | ok | 17:43 |
| hobgoblin | you'll get a list - look for the line that includes / under the Mounted on column - in that line what is the number that is under the Use% column | 17:43 |
| hobgoblin | that will tell you how full your root drive is | 17:43 |
| hobgoblin | mine is 26% used /dev/sda6 18G 4.2G 13G 26% / | 17:44 |

Now I'm trying to figure out how to make sure I'm connecting via the VPN tunnel, and then how to block external SSH access with iptables | 19:39 |

| dengaku_sco | well the whole point of trying Ubuntu out is to see if it will be worth reformatting my comp toUbuntu | 20:14 |
| hobgoblin | aaah - wubi is it? | 20:16 |
| dengaku_sco | yep | 20:16 |
| hobgoblin | k | 20:16 |
| hobgoblin | then now you know how big to make the / partition when you install with a normal install then :) | 20:17 |
| dengaku_sco | mmmmaaaybe | 20:17 |
| hobgoblin | bigger than it is now lol | 20:18 |
| dengaku_sco | ah! gotcha | 20:18 |
| hobgoblin | if you have a seperate /home then I'd go for 9Gb or so - but I like to make sure :) | 20:19 |
| dengaku_sco | sounds good. i like to play safe | 20:20 |
| dengaku_sco | and being as Unbuntu and Linux seem like learning a new counrty, ill want to play it safe | 20:21 |

| WrathZA | hey guys, I'm trying to diagnose a X freeze issue but I can't find my xconfig, it's not in /etc/X11 | 21:47 |
| Mohan_chml | WrathZA: you are using 10.10? | 21:52 |
| Mohan_chml | WrathZA: and you must be looking for xorg.conf | 21:53 |
| ibuclaw | WrathZA, what type of graphics card? | 21:54 |
| ibuclaw | xorg.conf is deprecated :x | 21:54 |
| WrathZA | hi guys, sorry. looking though the logs... | 21:55 |
| WrathZA | ibuclaw: intel onboard | 21:56 |
| WrathZA | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 21:56 |
| WrathZA | X freezes after 30 seconds, but the box is still up. I can SSH in | 21:57 |
| WrathZA | Mohan: how would I know what exact version I'm using | 21:57 |
| WrathZA | I did a "apt-get upgrade" so I assume the latest? | 21:58 |
| ibuclaw | cat /etc/issue | 21:58 |
| WrathZA | Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS | 21:58 |
| ibuclaw | yeah, we can assume latest then. :-) | 21:59 |
| Mohan_chml | hey ibuclaw =] | 22:00 |
| ibuclaw | there are already several bugs open regarding 82945G/GZ chips | 22:00 |
| ibuclaw | mostly to do with having Compiz enabled | 22:00 |
| WrathZA | ok, that's a start | 22:00 |
| WrathZA | how do I disable Compiz? | 22:00 |
| WrathZA | ibuclaw, you're a jedi, I killed compiz (sudo killall compiz) and it works (so far) | 22:04 |
| ibuclaw | WrathZA, system->preferences->appearance | 22:06 |
| ibuclaw | under 'Visual Effects', select 'Disabled' | 22:07 |
| ibuclaw | problem seems to still be the case in the upstream kernel drivers too | 22:07 |
| ibuclaw | so you'll have to do the same if you upgrade to Maverick at the end of the month. :3 | 22:08 |
| WrathZA | wow, I'm a happy man. 3 days of pain and a lot of learning (the good part) and finally a fellow south african has the answer. | 22:09 |
| WrathZA | respect | 22:09 |
| WrathZA | I have another question though :) | 22:10 |
| WrathZA | during all my debugging, I found a process called 'backend' locking one of my cores @ 100% | 22:12 |
| WrathZA | searched synaptic for the name to uninstall it, but there are lots of packages, how do I know which one it is so I can uninstall it? | 22:12 |
| WrathZA | ok, don't worry about it, I gtg anyways | 22:15 |
| WrathZA | thanks for the help, I apprecaite it. | 22:15 |
