jappieMy usb headset freezes up my entire system (Lucid ubuntu + edubuntu 10.04 on aspireone), when I plug it in, I have to do a hard restart everytime. Also when I try to start up with my usb headset already in place, it freezes at the logo and I have to do a hard restart also. Any solutions?00:27
ibuclawjappie, what type of headset?00:30
ibuclawjappie, you can get system logs from /var/log/messages00:33
jappieibuclaw, Logitech A-0000800:33
ibuclawand you can also try boot into recovery mode with the device plugged in.00:33
ibuclaw(system messages are all printed to the screen when you select that boot option, so if anything goes wrong, you'll be able to see/record it)00:34
jappieibuclaw, I am at /var/log/messages, what do I look for?00:35
ibuclawalso, there should never really be a need to hard restart your system.00:35
ibuclawif at a console prompt, Ctrl+Alt+Del should work.00:36
jappieMy screen goes grey and everything freezes. I waited at least 10-15 min and nothing...00:36
ibuclawif the freeze is a little more nested in, then you have RESIUB00:36
jappiecheckin up on RESIUB....00:37
ibuclawwhile holding down Alt+PrintScreen, press the keys: R E I S U B00:37
jappieyeap...see it. Nice!00:38
ibuclawR->raw input. E->soft kill all apps. I->hard kill all apps. S->sync all disk devices. U->unmount all disk devices. B->reboot.00:38
ibuclawjappie, just remember 'Raising Elephants Is So Utterly Boring'00:39
jappielol00:39
ibuclawjappie, anyway, could you pastebin the log file?00:40
ibuclawI wouldn't know what to look for unless I see it.00:40
jappieYes, but where/ how do I pastebin?00:41

jappieibuclaw, thanks for ur patience!00:43
ibuclawjappie, do you have alsa backports modules install by any chance?00:51
ibuclawIn System->Admin->Synaptic00:53
ibuclawsearch for: linux-backports-modules-alsa00:53
jappiewill take a look...00:54
jappieyes there are couple of version installed00:56
ibuclawyou should see something like this: http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/8764/screenshot2az.png00:56
jappieyes00:57
ibuclawjappie, try uninstalling them and reboot.00:57
ibuclawthen see if the headset is still giving you trouble afterwards00:58
jappieall of them?00:58
ibuclawjappie, how many are there?00:58
ibuclaw(there should only be 2 installed by my count)00:59
jappieI have versions:  version 2.6.32.23,  version 2.6.32.24 and  version 2.6.32.25 installed01:00
ibuclawheh. someone needs a spring cleaning...01:00
jappieand also linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic01:01
ibuclawjappie, so long as they start with "linux-backports-modules-alsa" - yes, remove them. :-)01:01
ibuclawthey are optional addon modules, and not required for operation of your system.01:01

ibuclawjappie, not sure about skype. Might have to ask someone else about that. Though it usually requires a bit of chicanery to get things up regardless of the device you are using.01:29
ibuclaw(or so I've heard)01:30
aveilleuxSkype works fine for me01:30
aveilleuxI don't use USB devices, though.01:30

HorseloverFrostHello, I'm in need of some help. I'm trying to set up a dual boot OSX/Ubuntu on my Mac Pro with the two OSes on separate disks (Bay #1 OSX Bay #2 Ubuntu). I've tried using three different install procedures found on the web but still have not managed to get a bootable Ubuntu installation. After startup and selecting the linux install with rEFIt I get the penguin logo for a few seconds and then a black screen02:20
HorseloverFrostindefinitely.02:20
HorseloverFrostAlso, on my first try I accidently installed the boot loader on my OSX disk. OSX still boots, but a phantom linux installation shows up on startup. Is there any way to get rid of it?02:22

duanedesignmorning all08:37
Puck`good morning team08:56
Puck`anyone around? (:08:56
Puck`how do we start a script file with crontab if it's in a folder? /folder/./script.sh doesn't work :\08:57
geirhaLike that, or just /folder/script.sh  I suspect it's running it, but it fails for other reasons.09:02
Puck`yeah, i got the error now09:04
Puck`thanks for the help geirha (:09:04
geirhaIt's a bad practice to put extensions on scripts btw09:04
aveilleuxIt is?09:05
geirhaIf you in the future find that the script is better written in another language, like python or php or whatever, you'll have to rename the script. If you don't have the extension, you only need to replace the file content.09:06
geirhaYou run grep as grep, not grep.elf09:06
geirhaYou'll find that most scripts in Ubuntu doesn't have extensions either09:07
geirhafile /usr/bin/* | fgrep 'shell script'09:10
