mccrase90would anyone here be able to help me get my sound drivers straightened out?06:57
sebsebseb!sound | probably useless, but here you go anyway mccrase9006:58
ubot2probably useless, but here you go anyway mccrase90: 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 !mp3.06:58
mccrase90alright, sound preferences shows no hardware so...i messed somethin up06:59
sebsebsebmccrase90: Did sound work ok before?07:00

rd2bHi all, I d like to know which IRC software to use ?16:57
Silver_Fox_Hello.17:06
FanshaweI can't get alarms in Evolution working. Is this some sort of bug?17:54
IAmNotThatGuyFanshawe: I have never tried it. Had you google about this issue?17:57
IAmNotThatGuygoogled*17:57
FanshaweI have, yeah. It seems prevalent but I haven't found out why it happens or how to fix it.17:58
IAmNotThatGuyFanshawe: you read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1347446 ?18:01
Fanshawe Compiz, eh? That's unfortunate.18:04
FanshaweAnd strange, since Ubuntu is put out with both Compiz and Evolution, right?18:05
IAmNotThatGuyYeah! just got a page about the error you got18:05
IAmNotThatGuyyep!18:05
FanshaweMaybe there's some sort of fix?18:05
bobo123Hi! I have a small problem here....  I want to share a printer to the (windows)computers in my local network, how do I do that/where do I set what my printer is called?18:47
bobo123if I want to share it giving it the samba "HP" so the other computers can reach it at \\BIGCOMPUTER\HP18:48
IAmNotThatGuybobo123: I think you can see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26824518:51
raubvogelIf you are configuring bind9, in which of the three named.conf files would you put the acl's in?19:33
bobo123I made it working by adding   "printing = cups"  and  "printcap name = cups"  in /etc/samba/smb.conf (actually just removing two semicolons ; in the file) so now it works.... Now I just wonder why they are commented out as default? shouldn't printersharing be as easy as that checkbox in printersettings?19:34

HorseloverFrostHi, I'm trying ubuntu for the first time and am having a bit of a problem. I've downloaded the DVD and am trying to get it to boot. It starts ok and gets to the initial menu, but from there won't recognise my keyboard. I'm running Apple hardware (a xeon mac pro). This is my first time running a non-apple OS on this hardware.21:39
BizurkeSo it is an Apple machine I assume?21:40
HorseloverFrostYes.21:41
Bizurkedo you have a non apple keyboard you could try?21:41
HorseloverFrostYes.21:41
HorseloverFrostI have my keyboard plugged into my monitor's usb port. Might that be affecting it?21:42
Bizurkeyou have an iMac?21:42
HorseloverFrostNo, a Mac pro. Quad core Xeon.21:42
Bizurkeoh yes, that could definitely be it21:42
Bizurkeat this point the USB on the monitor has not been set up, so Ubuntu probably doesn't know those ports exist21:43
Bizurkeand have your mouse plugged directly in to the machine as well21:43
Bizurkeat least during install21:43
HorseloverFrostThat's a bit inconvienient, but I guess I could try that.21:44
BizurkeI'm guessing you can get it all to work after installation. I've only installed Debian on a Mac, never Ubuntu now that I think of it21:45
HorseloverFrostI had a similar setup I used to use with FreeBSD (with the keyboard plugged into the monitor) and had no trouble with that. That was on a PowerPC though.21:45
BizurkeUSB crap seems to change every other generation for macs. Like about 50% of the ones we had at the last company I worked at couldn't get power to the keyboard so the USB on the keyboard was worthless. Just randomly21:46
BizurkeI'm not 100% positive on this. But I personally would try having each device plugged directly in to the box for installation21:46
HorseloverFrostYeah, used to be the keyboard bus only got half power.21:46
HorseloverFrostOkay, I'll try that. and a non-apple keyboard too.21:47
HorseloverFrostThanks.21:47
