[00:00] penguin42: What is your diagnosis, sir? [00:00] Licuadora: Well, that looks good to me, but why didn't it do it automatically? You'll probably need some other stuff as well [00:00] Licuadora: So what does /proc/asound/cards say now? [00:00] let me check [00:02] penguin42: same [00:02] ---no sound cards ---- [00:03] Licuadora: So my guess is that at some point you did something evil to disable your onboard sound because of the add in card you had, the trick will be figuring out how to undo it [00:03] That's why I downloaded all the folders from ALSA site [00:03] Licuadora: That was probably a bad move [00:03] $ sudo undo all [00:03] ¿? [00:03] Licuadora: Did you actually install any of them? [00:04] nope, it stoped in the make [00:04] But I am surprised it didn't fix it when I re install 10.04 [00:04] Licuadora: You didn't disable that one in the BIOS did you? [00:05] I choose "onboard sound", I think that was the option [00:05] anyone else got any ideas for Licuadora? [00:06] "the file /aproc/sond/cards has changed in the HDD" Restore? [00:06] i got that message [00:06] erm when did you get that? [00:06] penguin42: I've been asking in the forums for months, and still no fix [00:06] Licuadora: Well it is a bit weird [00:06] Several times when i open the cards file [00:07] I might just buy some pci x1 sound cards [00:07] I have 2 slots left [00:07] Licuadora: OK, just from a terminal can you do cat /proc/asound/cards ? [00:07] don't use an editor or the like, it's not a real file [00:08] cat: /proc/asounds/cards: No existe el archivo o directorio [00:08] no file or directory exists [00:08] /proc/asound/cards - no s on the end of sound [00:09] Yeah. Still, --- no soundcards --- [00:10] I am no programer, but I think that file must be filled with some code [00:10] Is it posible to download a driver and the drag and drop the file in there? [00:10] Licuadora: No, it doesn't work like that [00:10] oh.... [00:11] Licuadora: Try /etc/init.d/alta-utils reset [00:11] sorry, that's alsa [00:12] Does not exist [00:12] root@djiin:~# etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset [00:12] bash: etc/init.d/alsa-utils: No existe el archivo o directorio [00:12] I even used the / at the begining [00:13] Licuadora: Interesting, that's a bug :-) [00:13] I know [00:13] Licuadora: OK, /sbin/alsa-utils reset [00:13] And WHY did it worked in 8.04 and NOT in 10.10!? [00:13] Licuadora, yes, / at the beginning is required [00:13] Licuadora: I don't know, you're machine doesn't look that unusual [00:14] * Resetting ALSA... [00:14] or maybe just reinstall all alsa packages? if even binaries are not found? [00:15] * penguin42 files a bug against alsa-utils about the path being wrong [00:15] https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9041618/ALSA.png [00:16] Licuadora: It might be worth trying a reboot after that [00:17] i'LL REBOOT [00:17] does anyone know if 10.10 supports touchscreen laptops or we still have to go through the hardware list first? [00:20] Nah, it didn't worked [00:20] penguin42: Did you send a bug report to ALSA? [00:20] Licuadora: Well I dunno what's up with your machine [00:21] Licuadora: Just hte minor one about the path being wrong, bug 654902 [00:21] Launchpad bug 654902 in alsa-utils (Ubuntu) "alsa-utils usage says /etc/init.d" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/654902 [00:21] evening guys [00:21] penguin42: Like I said, I guess I'll just gonna have to buy a PCI X1 card [00:21] Licuadora: given this thing is surviving mutliple installs I'd suggest resetting your CMOS or the like [00:22] CMOS? [00:22] Licuadora: Intel onboard audio really really should work [00:22] Licuadora: CMOS; BIOS settings [00:22] Well that part is fixed [00:22] Fixed? [00:22] the onboard option is selected [00:23] something is very odd though [00:23] Licuadora: You can file a bug from your machien - I think ubuntu-bug sound (or maybe audio) should do it, it'll record all the info about your machine [00:23] I thought it was gonna be fixed after the upgrade, but I was a little bit naïve there [00:24] penguin42: you are the expert, can you do it? or tell me how, if you please [00:24] Licuadora: I don't know why it isn't; people have problems with Intel audio - but they're normally more minor things like it not doing the mic properly or acrackle or something [00:24] Licuadora: You need to do it from your machine for it to record your info [00:24] Licuadora: So do you have networking on the machine? [00:24] no, eth0 is not working either, i am using WIFI [00:25] hey WIFI will do [00:25] guys anyone have issues with compiling alsa driver on maverick? [00:25] tell me how, please [00:25] I do [00:25] Well mine is a different story [00:25] Licuadora: Open a terminal and do ubuntu-bug sound [00:26] if that doesn't work try ubuntu-bug audio [00:26] I'm having fairly frequent major crashes. What should I do? [00:26] Licuadora: The fact your ether doesn't work either makes me think there is something odd with the machine [00:26] Some_Person: How does it crash and is it related to doing something? [00:27] penguin42: I do not think is physical, since it worked with an Ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD [00:28] penguin42: It seems random, and it crashes with nothing responding, either with the screen just frozen on what was displayed when it crashed or with a black screen with a mouse cursor [00:29] Licuadora: Hmm that is odd, get te bug reported and it'll have lal the info on it - remember to say it worked with an 8.04 livecd [00:29] ok [00:29] Licuadora, did you do a normal desktop install or some special version/options? [00:30] step21: nope, just regular, it was the final version [00:31] penguin42: How can i post my onboard sound info? [00:31] Is there a Terminal command to tell me what type of chip do i have? [00:31] so I can post it. Or is it not necesary? [00:32] Licuadora: Do that ubuntu-bug and it should include everything in the bug automatically [00:33] coz_ why do you want to compile it? just install it? [00:34] penguin42: So what should I do? [00:34] Some_Person, check disk space, memory integrity etc ... do you have a dual boot system? [00:34] step21: triple boot actually [00:35] I'm having no problems in any other OS, and / has 11.8 GB free [00:35] Some_Person: I'd run memtest86 for a few hours to see if there are any issues, and I'd make sure I'm not running desktop effects to try and reduce any graphics issues [00:36] I am running compiz [00:36] Some_Person: Try turning that off and see if it stabilises; if it does it's probably a graphics driver issue [00:37] Well, it's just something that randomly happens. It'll sometimes go many hours without crashing or being unstable, and then bang [00:38] Ok, I'll wait for a fix [00:38] Thx for everything guys [00:38] later [00:41] Some_Person, well for me it randomly happened with indicator sound using lots of cpu, when failing to reconnect with pulseaudio (there is a bug about that) [00:42] I have no warning when it happens [00:42] if that happens switching to console with ctrl+alt+F1 might allow you to kill the relevant services and resume work. [00:42] there is no warning [00:42] Nope. ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing [00:42] even caps lock doesn't respond [00:42] well it could take a while. [00:43] Greetings! [00:43] Hi [00:44] Brand new Ubuntu user with a random problem that I've seen elsewhere in the forums and such but no resolution (other than restarting X) seems to have been bounced around. My left (and sometimes Right....) mouse button will stop responding seemingly at random. Anyone else run into this? [00:45] no, but I've had the middle one do that :-) [00:45] not sure why [00:45] middle one would be slightly less problematic ;) [00:45] can we trade? =D [00:46] anyone here? [00:46] no [00:46] that's good [00:46] only us chickens [00:46] well I'm having problems with a Webcam on Maverik [00:46] andorino: Brand new ubuntu users should probably go to #ubuntu [00:46] dmesg output http://paste.ubuntu.com/506087/ [00:47] It works on lucid, yes [00:47] Some_Person: this is 10.10, and not brandy-new to *nix in general [00:47] andorino: Ah, sorry I doubted you [00:48] I don't understand the line "usb_submit_urb() failed, error -28" [00:48] before that, it seems ok [00:48] andorino: I'm not really sure how to help I'm afraid, you could run xev to see if it can see the event, but it may be difficult to find where they are going [00:48] yeah, seems like a hard thing to pin down [00:49] seems like people with the same issues on various hardware and machine types having this issue since at least 9.x [00:49] is anyone else experiencing bug #648238 ? [00:49] Launchpad bug 648238 in The Sound Menu "always show unmuted at startup" [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/648238 [00:49] Israphel: That's just a function in the kernel [00:51] Israphel: Well, it looks like a driver bug at a guess, have you ever had it working with Ubuntu? [00:51] yes, I've a netbook with Ubuntu lucid netbook remix and it works there. [00:52] My desktop has Kubuntu Maverick RC and here is the problem [00:52] Israphel: Is it plugged straight in or via a hub on the maverick machine? [00:52] how much can maverick change until the 10th? [00:52] straight to the usb port [00:52] krabador: I guess that depends how broken it is! [00:53] Israphel: Hmm, I'd say then you just have a bug and report i, you could try the daily kernels to see if it helps [00:53] can it be a kubuntu bug specifically? [00:53] should I ask in the forums before making a bug report= [00:53] ? [00:54] Israphel: I guess possible, but I'd have guessed kernel - and of course you can ask on the Forum [00:54] penguin42, oh, sure. [00:54] 2.6.35-22-generic here [00:55] KDE stuff still seems to be changing a lot, other stuff is pretty settled [00:55] 2.6.32-25 at the netbook, where it works [00:56] it's possible that users will have some surprise in artworks (splash, wallpapers, etc) putting the stable in the pc, the 10th? [00:59] penguin42: http://paste.ubuntu.com/506097/ [00:59] (please developers, change the orange.... i prey you :) ) [01:00] Israphel: Sorry, don't know much about cameras [01:00] ah ha. it is a registered bug. 41301. [01:01] bug 41301 [01:01] Launchpad bug 41301 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "Mouse clicks stop working sporadically" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/41301 [01:01] that's an ANCIENT bug though - not maverick specific [01:01] nope, but still happens :P [01:01] other maverick reports. weird. [01:02] andorino: Are you on a touchpad or real mouse? [01:02] real mouse [01:02] hmm interesting, I've seen something similar on a touchpad on Fedora and had assumed that was weirdo touchpad firmware [01:02] it's drags that don't really end [01:02] or weirdo user :) === TheLimeRunner is now known as TheLimeRunner|Ho [01:03] andorino: Hey I'm perfectly insane! === TheLimeRunner|Ho is now known as TheLimeRunner|HW [01:03] well with touch pad it's something else, it often happens after standby [01:03] it did it to me this evening after waking from standby, actually [01:04] but happens randomly at other times [01:05] I live in MA where electricity costs an arm and a leg (and a torso) [01:05] so standby is my friend [01:06] Hm. [01:07] That 41301 affects me when I use my keyboard to change sound volume [01:07] I'll try on the kubuntu lucid live cd [01:07] ha [01:07] that just did it for me [01:07] glad that i just pay a flat fee for electricity ... [01:07] and now, to fix it... [01:08] ALT-TAB doesn't clear it like some people have reported [01:08] It didn't do it for me either [01:08] How did you fix id Daekdroom ? [01:08] I didn't. [01:08] I'll probably have to force an X restart now [01:08] andorino: I'd try hitting all the modifier keys - ie.. shift ctrl and alt (both sides) [01:08] What's the hotkey sequence to switch virtual workspaces? [01:08] did that before, no dice this time either [01:09] ctrl-alt-arrows are the ones I use [01:09] didn't clear it for me either [01:09] other people reported that that worked [01:10] right button still works though [01:10] weird bug [01:11] Oh well. [01:11] Daekdroom: sudo rmmod usbhid; sudo mobprobe usbhid cleared it for me [01:12] and keyboard volume keys did it again, so that is a pretty consistent reproduction [01:13] I installed some games using the Ubuntu Software Center but none of the games are working [01:13] Hi. I've installed Kubuntu 10.10 (snapshot) on an old PowerBook G4 (ppc). The LiveCD was fine; after install & reboot, tho, I get to the desktop, but the video scanrate is off/wrong. I can see the desktop/items, etc but get lots of snow/has, and multiple ghost images ... Iiuc, 'sax' is a thing of the past -- from this desktop, how can i _fix_ the video? [01:14] hi, in a recent update of the netbook edition I now have multiple (4) workspaces. How can I reverto to having only one? [01:14] andorino, yep. Worked on here, but I had to reload the usb module by replugging my mouse because I use a usb keyboard as well [01:14] s/in/after/ [01:14] I wonder if unplugging my mouse will work [01:15] Hm, no, it doesn't [01:16] all my peripherals are USB, didn't have to unplug my keyboard... [01:16] By that I mean that the games do not appear to have installed, the system keeps saying that there is no such file or directory [01:25] after a recent update of the netbook edition I now have multiple (4) workspaces. How can I reverto to having only one? [01:27] philsf: i know how to do it, but i'm trying to find the 'ubuntu netbook' way to do it.. [01:28] philsf: it's not grandma-friendly but this is quick gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces 1 --type int [01:29] sunshinepants, I knew how to do it in gnome, where I could right click the workspaces applet... :/ [01:30] penguin42: you still there? [01:30] yeh [01:30] not for long, it's 1:30am :-) [01:30] well, I think I find something [01:30] philsf: you can run gconf-tool interactively too, and do a search with ctrl-F, then look for string 'metacity' and change the num_workspaces var in the general folder.. [01:30] I have two usb devices. wireless keyboard+mouse and the camera [01:30] I can't use both at the same time. [01:31] Israphel3: Odd, you said they're plugged into the machine directly? [01:34] prob. logitech usb transmitter or something [01:35] oh, gone [01:38] * penguin42 is about to go, if Israphel3 comes bakc I would suggest trying a powered hub inbetween [01:41] penguin42: ok I'll explain you the problem [01:41] I use a usb extensor wire for the keyboard+mouse sensor [01:41] I think that the wire is not a hub [01:41] but I can't useit [01:41] I have to plug the sensor and the camera directly to the mother [02:00] hi guys, anyone experienced with default radeondriver and mobile gpus ? [02:05] say how about i change my sources.list from the word karmic to maverick and upgrade from there is that ok? i got the maverick iso from http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/maverick/ and made a usb creator and its not bootable [02:08] olskolirc, on ubuntu com it says how to update like that [02:08] but not with just changing like you said [02:08] exact link please step21 ? [02:11] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/TechnicalOverview [02:11] One click from the front page [02:11] thanks step21 :-) [02:13] hey [02:13] a few appliciations glitch out on me [02:13] such as Evolution [02:14] whenever I use anything that's not email, whenever I click anywhere on the window it fullscreens, & again, it goes back to normal [02:14] it makes the application ususable [02:14] any ideas? [02:18] anyone? [02:23] hi, i'm tryin g maverick , day by day with the daily builds, from 2 week, and until today's build "Quadrapassel" don't works. [02:28] what are you on atari ubuntu? kubuntu? and what version [02:34] olskolirc, ubuntu [02:34] ubuntu, today's daily build of maverick [02:34] ubuntu s*x [02:35] kubuntu is the only way to go [02:36] olskolirc, i hope for you a good future, with kde on ubuntu, that never , and for sometimes again, never got decent [02:36] olskolirc, if you like kde, use debian [02:36] olskolirc, #debian [02:37] i used to ride with Sarge before i came to kubuntu [02:37] im not big on the plasma though i prefer kde 3x [02:39] olskolirc, to road for the stability and the true usability on kde 4 is still long [02:40] a very big lot of work is gone, but isn't enough, for what would be seem kde, when user run it for the first time [02:41] kde3 is sure old, but well tweaked is very light and fast [02:42] enlightment and lxde, if developers continue to work right, will destroy kde [02:44] anyone else tried to use empathy's irc client? [02:44] with the latest 10.10 [02:44] crashes with me, xchat does the trick though [02:45] yessssss krabador i love lxde [02:46] seems like meerkat has too many problems to be released in a few days [02:46] thats what i hate about cannanicol* always never finished on due date [02:46] please can anyone tell me how to list current performance level when i am using xorg radeondriver ? [02:47] I'm pretty happy with it [02:49] sorry cTnko i'm not really sure. I did a little poke on google with no luck [02:49] gonna plock some of my eyelash onto my pillow. nite [02:50] HomerPDX75: i am strugling with power saving not working properly on my laptop (r730) gpu [02:50] so i am trying to nail the problem why my card is running on fullpower, ergo killing my battery life [02:53] http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_use_of_Graphics_Chips_Power_Management_features [02:53] maybe [02:53] it will help [02:54] thanks ill take a look [02:54] i was fighting this problem on 10.04 but i gave up (there was no support in drivers) [02:55] so i am trying again in 10.10 [02:55] but thats for fglrx not for xorg :( [02:55] damn [03:00] oh [03:00] http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Fglrx [03:02] but i wanna use xorg :) (original fglrx from amd brgings more problems that it solves) sadly :( [03:04] can i just upgrade my kde 4.3 to 4.5 somewhere? [03:16] cTnko, I agree [03:16] fglrx is a very buggy driver. On my laptop, one month it would almost work and then the next month it wouldn't even install. [03:17] I gave up and have been using the radeon driver and it's a little slow but work perfectly [03:18] HomerPDX75: looks like i solved most of the heat/battery problems with echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile [03:19] but this is on the fly value, ill probabbly have to create a shell script [03:19] when i find out how to do so |:)) [03:20] I hear ya, you would think a programmer from ATI would whip that out in a day [03:21] when i read that power management for ati cards will work in 10.10 i was like "yey i finally be able to use ubuntu on my laptop) [03:22] and yet i am more strugling with drivers then actually using the device "blah" :x [03:23] sorry man, my linux ati experience has been the same [03:23] if possible just use the open source one [03:24] cTnko, or just use builtin graphics ... [04:00] so far nothing seems broken. only things I see that I would like to see improved is open source radeon driver and bluetooth settings have not been right sine 8.10. other than those too things everything is great! [04:02] oh and I wish the wireless settings could work more like wicd [04:23] <^Lem^> hi all, wondering if this is worth a "bug report": default text colour, default Maverick theme, the CPU frequency scaling monitor's text is virtually unreadable (grey on grey) [04:33] hi [04:34] anyone knows about this? [04:34] while trying to upgrade to ubuntu 10.10 (from 10.4) i am getting this error; W:Failed to fetch http://astromirror.uchicago.edu/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz [04:34] ruh roh... hope it didn't break.... [04:34] or at the least you backed up [04:34] Ken8521, you talking to me? [04:34] in general yes [04:35] Ken8521, you talking to me about the question i asked above? [04:35] that's why i never upgrade, not even Windows.. just to much crap that can go wrong... back up important files, and clean install [04:35] yes, [04:35] ok [04:35] how far did it get in the upgrade process [04:35] Ken8521, this is my friends issue. so what should i suggest him? [04:35] there's been a few reports here and there of broken upgrades, but nothing to suggest an epidemic [04:35] Ken8521, or what question should i ask him to get more info? [04:36] i mean should i tell him to clean install? [04:36] AbhiJit, honestly,i have no idea.. if an upgrade broke.. it's gonna be a lot of fun... it all depends on where he was in the upgrade process when it happened.. he might end up clean installing [04:36] hmm [04:37] Ken8521, but what is astromirror? is it a offical ubuntu package? i never heard about it [04:37] i have no idea AbhiJit.. ask him. [04:37] Ken8521, ok [04:38] anyone else have some idea about this issue? [04:41] I suspect it might be a ppa [04:41] charlie-tca, that astromirror one? [04:41] or unofficial place to get packages [04:41] yeah [04:41] charlie-tca, that was my first guess [04:41] buti never heard of it [04:41] charlie-tca, Ken8521 ok should i tell him that he first try again with official ppa? [04:41] It is a university, maybe they run their own mirrors and it is simply out of date [04:42] yah [04:42] AbhiJit, actually what he should do, is disable that repo, and then upgrade [04:42] Ken8521, i see [04:42] Sometimes the universities do that so that they don't have to give users off-campus access to anything [04:42] really though, you shoudl do that w/ any PPA.. upgrading w/ PPA's in your source list is begging for fail [04:43] I have a strange issue with the interface locking up for periods of time in Meerkat. I can get things going again by tapping keys, or fiddling with the touchpad... but the lockup comes back after a while. CPU usage seems to go up. Lucid worked fine (except without audio) on this laptop. [04:43] Is this an issue anyone knows about? [04:43] Ken8521, means? [04:43] charlie-tca, ok [04:43] Ken8521, i am asking him now to disable that ppa ok? [04:43] AbhiJit, delete it from his source list, upgrade, then add it back. [04:44] Ken8521, oh yah [04:44] make sure he reloads his source list before he starts upgrading again.. [04:44] so remove, reload, upgrade, add again. [04:45] Ken8521, ok [04:47] Hmmm... my issue could be related to this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9917899 [04:47] They suggest using a PPA kernel... to compare the shipped version against 2.6.36-rc6 . How do I do this? [04:48] Thank you Ken8521 charlie-tca :) [04:52] You are welcome [05:18] <|ns|nR8> anyone have the prob with /dev/dsp missing in 10.10 [05:18] <|ns|nR8> mines gone :( [05:20] <|ns|nR8> cant run darkice [05:21] <|ns|nR8> ive tried installing oss-compat and tried using sbagen [05:21] <|ns|nR8> wont work [05:34] <|ns|nR8> think im over bugs for awhile [05:34] <|ns|nR8> try again in couple weeks [05:35] Anyone really good with sound? [05:35] <|ns|nR8> im having some sound probs histo [05:35] <|ns|nR8> whats yours [05:36] <|ns|nR8> sounds works just /dev/dsp dont exist [05:36] Well I have an intel 82801L ICH9 sound card. Works perfectly fine under 10.04 I've now tried two different distros running 2.6.35 and no sound. [05:37] I've noticed that under alsamixer it reports a different chipset than it did with 10.04 [05:37] So i'm assuming its a codec issue with alsa but I don't know enough to try and fix it. [05:38] <|ns|nR8> im going back to 10.04 for awhile..wait for some updates to 10.10, see if it fixes me bugs [05:39] <|ns|nR8> glad i kept 10.04 install [05:49] say for instance I get on average, 400MB/sec... is there some app or a trick of some sort to only allow like half of that to certain applications? [05:57] you could do that with iptables I think [05:57] but it's not app specific [05:57] you mean like.. dedicating throughput to each IP? [05:59] <|ns|nR8> qos capable router [05:59] <|ns|nR8> or some kinda proxy [06:00] you can probably limit it per uid [06:00] or gid [06:00] or per port [06:01] hmm... what about for just a specific computer [06:01] sort of like a throttle [06:02] I'm just looking for a way to keep myself from using the full throughput so others in my house don't complain [06:02] short of ... well, not downloading anything [06:04] it'd be nice if I could figure out how to somehow ... temporarily lock my download rate at xKB/sec [06:16] hmm.. seems I can do just this with trickle [06:31] 4 more days [07:26] Is it possible to change my current installation from a single partition on ext 4 to a split setup with a /boot on ext 4 and the rest on btrfs ? [09:04] Ciao, I would understand how special bottons work on my laptop, (FN+) I tried to reassign them with keyboard shortcut but it doesn't work. I saw on some website I have to modify /etc/acpi/event files. Can someone help me? [09:06] sda1986: there's mostly 4 possible ways keys are working [09:06] I mean, 5, as many as 5 ways and its one of those ways [09:07] ACPI (BIOS), GPIO (embedded hardware button), Keyboard, Mouse trackpad, USB input device [09:07] sda1986: good luck to find out which your device is using! [09:10] example, if i press fn+f4 (www) it opens firefox, but i can change it with keyboard shortcut, but i cannot do the same with fn+space (on win powermanagement on linux screensaver) [09:11] lucent: any guide to findout what kind is mine? [09:18] hello, let me try to shorten my problem in 1 sentence [09:18] Nautilus doesnt work/start after upgrade to ubuntu 10.10 RC [09:19] checking in xsession-errors i find this http://pastebin.com/PTjK4Wa8 [09:20] i can't figure what is the problem,any suggestions? === thade_w|2 is now known as Alexia_Death_ [09:45] hi... i have installed ubuntu 10.10 and the max resolution that i can select is 1360x768.. is there a way i can make it 1280x1024? [09:45] previously when i was on windows.. i was on that resolution.. :P [09:46] MappingNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0, request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 248, I have to change this event how can I? [09:46] try system>preferences>monitors maybe? [09:47] thats the same... it shows unknown monitor [10:00] hi all, i have an asus f3jp with 05e1:0501 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd DC-1125 Webcam, on ubuntu the quality is lower than windows, and a led one time it turns on never turns off until i turnoff\reboot my pc. Can you help me? [10:16] I tried to install the rc and got a problem with the grub configuration, can anyone help me? [10:16] I'll take a shot at helping you to help yourself [10:17] what do you need to do? [10:19] jmcs: Nobody can help you untill you actually state your problem. [10:19] When I boot it says it doesn't detect the hard drive with the uuid. I've seen the grub.cfg and the uuid and it is right [10:20] which filesystem? [10:21] ext4 [10:21] could need fsck'ing [10:22] jmcs: Do you get any other errors? [10:22] jmcs: suggest that you boot from CD and mount chroot update-grub [10:22] jmcs: If you press 'c' to get to a grub shell then run "ls -l" do you see the partition in question? [10:22] lucent: i'll try that. [10:23] jmcs: if it's still hosed after that, you can edit the /etc/default/grub of the chroot'ed system and run update-grub [10:24] Jordan_U: it falls to grub-rescue without me doing anything if I do ls it shows something like this (HD0) (HD0,1) (HD0,2) (HD1) [10:24] the filesystem device names can be hard-coded from /etc/default/grub which will get picked up into the grub config when you run update-grub [10:24] jmcs: Then update-grub won't help you at all. [10:25] jmcs: My guess is that you're actually booting grub from a previous install. Try changing the boot order in the BIOS. [10:26] I just noticed one thing, in my grub.cfg it says "set root='(hd0,msdos1)'" shouldn't it say something like "set root='(hd0,ext4)'"? [10:27] jmcs: No. "hd0" means the first hard drive and "msdos1" means the first partition on the drive, using an msdos partition table. [10:27]
