[05:04] 10.10 doesn't register my intel HD audio.... I went back to 10.04 lts when it registered a generic audio driver,... among other what i would consider 'major' bugs... [05:05] collabra: is this more an ubuntu-wide issue, or is this more specific to kubuntu users? [05:05] i dont know the extent of the issue,... but, kubuntu does use the ubuntu repos [05:05] collabra: IMO, maverick has a whole crop of major bugs. worse release for me in several years [05:06] collabra: well, i know it uses ubuntu repos.... what i am asking is whether or not these issues exist when not using KDE and KDE apps.... to me, phonon is suspect in all of this [05:07] jmichaelx: well,... other than audio,... i had to manually restart compiz every login,... and some program crashed every login as well, giving me a 'crash handler' execution [05:07] collabra: why did you feel the need to use compiz in KDE? [05:07] jmichaelx: don't know,... but i was 'very' disapointed,... [05:08] jmichaelx: why use compiz,... cause' it's part of the default install,... kubuntu. [05:08] and i like eye candy [05:08] collabra: ok, that is not compiz. [05:08] jmichaelx: no,...? [05:08] collabra: that is Kwin's native compositing management [05:08] jmichaelx: isn't it some part of compiz [05:09] no, that isn't compiz [05:09] jmichaelx: ahh,... [05:09] kwin,... has major problems on my system,... [05:09] in 10.10 of course [05:09] collabra: you CAN use compiz with KDE... some people do it, but i cannot understand how or why it would be worth the trouble [05:10] ahh,.. the reason you asked me... :) [05:10] yea [05:11] jmichaelx: yeah... 10.10 was released too early [05:11] collabra: it can definitely be a bit confusing [05:11] collabra: something sure went wrong [05:11] jmichaelx: i'll be weary of future releases [05:12] collabra: it's all dependent on what hardware one is using... there are always some regressions to contend with, but i have had problems with 10.10 on a variety of different machines [05:12] jmichaelx: it would be nice to think the 'newest' in programming would be relatively stable,... not in my case,... but, i'm really loving 10.04lts and will continue to be a big fan [05:13] jmichaelx: it's stable and i have a good deal of faith in it as a good platform for just about anything [05:13] collabra: there are several areas with linux where each step "forward" is just a roll of the dice.... particularly with video, audio and wireless [05:13] it is the greatest weakness linux has [05:14] people can deal with knowing certain hardware does not work... but when it works in one version of a distro, but not the next, then works again in the next, but again not in the next.... this is very common, and EXTREMELY frustrating [05:15] jmichaelx: yeah,...i've used alot of distros,... but have always come back to kubuntu 10.04 lts [05:16] for me it's the easiest to use,... stable,... as far as i know, secure, fun to administer,... not to mention people's reaction as i show them the best rival to microsoft === grimace is now known as GrimaceXL [05:20] Hey, guys I have an issue with a fresh install of kubuntu 10.10, my wireless wont scan and the light for it on my notebook wont come on. running iwlist scan says the network is down, but when i try to wlan0 up it says no such file or directory, can anyone assist me? [05:20] Thanks in advance [05:21] bcm4311 for the network card, btw [05:21] ah, if anyone has bcm43 questions, i just toiled on it for 4 days with good results [05:22] lol [05:22] does anyony know how to set up dual monitors on an older radeon card? [05:22] model 7000 to be exact. all i can get is the default mirroring [05:22] good to hear faustus [05:22] sorry it took 4 days [05:22] and for the record, i did it with fwcutter, not the other one [05:23] everyone debates fwcutter or.... whatever it's called [05:24] so faustus, on a fresh install of mavmeerkat, are drivers installed for this device (sorry linux newb) [05:24] to clarify what im asking is, is it a question of drivers, or is something else a matter here/ [05:24] i don't know the build names. i just installed kubuntu 10.14 or wahtever it is [05:25] ok well latest stable build on kubuntu.com is 10.10 [05:25] so i got that [05:25] i have a bcm4306 and on a fresh install of kubuntu, i installed fwcutter and then activated the drivers in the driver manager [05:25] 10.10 it is then [05:25] I did so after the install of winxp got auto exploited and tried to install malware (made mebutthurt) [05:26] ok is there a deb package for fwcutter? [05:26] all i did on a fresh install was sudo install fwcutter or whatever... [05:26] i don't know the command, but you get the jist [05:26] once that was installed i activated the driver in the driver management program [05:26] kewl [05:26] sounds easier than wireless was back in... '07 [05:26] with the pages and pages i read on the net, it's must easier than anyone makes it sound [05:27] does anyone know how to execute scripts after resuming from suspend? I've heard that having someting handle "suspend or thaw commands in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ would do it but I haven't had any luck (maverick) [05:27] ok yeah i tried ubuntu back in the day, i ended up ragequitting on account of wireless woes [05:27] oh.. i'm having problems maintainging my resolution settings on restart [05:27] it always resets on restat [05:27] restart [05:28] GrimaceXL: Yeah... thats where I am too [05:28] i also had your issue with radeon cards too [05:28] you think at this point in the build, old issues would be resolved [05:28] but my information is blurry and dated, so im going to keep my info to myself [05:28] tried kubuntu months ago and display worked and wireless didn't. now it's vice versa [05:30] yeah im sorry to be retarded but how do i install fwcutter [05:31] im kinda inept with anything beyond installing packages and it appears theres no package for fwcutter [05:32] sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [05:32] once you install that and activate the driver it will ask you to restart, in which case you should be good after the restart [05:33] unable to locate b43-fwcutter [05:33] dude it's not a dumb question. [05:33] hm [05:33] i cant believe how hard it is to add a shortcut to the desktop folder [05:33] have you tried many other things? [05:33] @mrcreativity ugh, now try to allign them to a grid [05:33] i had to reinstall kubuntu first [05:33] cuz i had tried other stuff [05:33] no just started [05:33] thats a whole other story [05:33] fresh install [05:34] hey were u trying to compare fwcutter to ndiswrapper [05:34] but forgot what it was called [05:35] yeah [05:35] i did it without ndiswrapper [05:35] see if you need to download fwcutter before install [05:36] yeah faustus, apparantly sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter is supposed to work but my install says it cant find it [05:36] i still haven't grasped the difference between downloading and installing versus just installing [05:36] am i supposed to add some secret ninja repositories before it will work [05:36] hmmmm [05:36] is this the computer with linux? or are you chatting on another computer [05:37] GrimaceXL: it might be in the 'partner' repos...? 10.04 does list b43-fwcutter [05:37] yes [05:37] this is it [05:37] fuuuuuuu..... it does [05:38] how do i determine if it is in the partner repos [05:39] GrimaceXL: you activate the partner repos, update, and search for fwcutter,...lol. [05:40] lol,... i dunno. [05:41] hmm, i am having audio cut out on me using intel hd audio and amarok 2.3.2 in kubuntu 10.10... but right now, i am playing music in 'moc', and i am not experiencing any audio problems there.... [05:42] seems like the problem must be with amarok, phonon or pulseaudio [05:43] so does anyone know how to maintain resolution settings on a radeon 7000 card? [05:44] jmichaelx: under sytem setting>Multimedia,... does it list your intel hardware,.... coz, that was another reason for switching back to 10.04 for me,... 1010 only listed a generic audio driver [05:45] (on 10.10) [05:45] collabra: all that is listed for my in my phonon settings is 'internal audio analog stereo' [05:45] for me* [05:45] faustus: what resolution are you needing? [05:45] the second from the top [05:46] yeah,... me too,... my intel hd audio drivers were not loading... and yes i think i remember having issues related to bad audio [05:46] my monitor supports up to 1680x1050 [05:46] faustus: second from the top? i would have no idea what is second from the top for you [05:46] that's what it is on windows [05:46] and the ideal setting for the monitor [05:47] faustus: i think you should be able to get that resolution, although you will have no desktop effects with that card [05:47] good work guys i uncommented the partner repos and shes downloading [05:48] collabra: i think i may need to look into just ditching pulseaudio [05:48] GrimaceXL: you mean i was actually right,... geeze, it was a shot in the dark. [05:48] i do have desktop effects [05:49] i have most the effects [05:49] it's just the resolution resets to default when i restart the computer [05:49] faustus: if you are using a radeon 7000, i cannot imagine that you could possibly have desktop effects... unless you use a very low resolution [05:50] it's not horribly low. can't think of what it is off the top of my head [05:50] faustus: which version of kubuntu are you using? [05:50] 10.10 (most recent) [05:50] i get explode, and the wavy window when you move it option [05:50] wiggle, or whatever [05:50] faustus: ok, got to 'system settings' and select 'display and monitor' [05:50] faustus: i am impressed then [05:51] go to* [05:51] then what? [05:51] i know i've been there, in that window [05:52] faustus: you should see a selection right there for resolution [05:52] right. keep in mind i have 2 monitors, one dvi and one vga [05:52] faustus: are they both working? [05:52] the vga one is small and old and i leave it where it is. the dvi i boost up a bit [05:52] they both work but they're mirrored when i want them to be individual like in windows [05:53] faustus: sure, but still, this is where you manage the settings for your displays... no matter how many you have [05:53] so what next? [05:53] faustus: like i said, this is where your resolution settings are [05:54] ok. and when i change them they return to default when i restart. [05:54] faustus: do you click 'apply', then save the settings when prompted? [05:54] yeah. [05:55] it's a problem i've seen on the forums, but can't find a workable, definitive answer. [05:55] faustus: hmm. you may need to create an xorg.conf in that case.... i am not sure why it would not save the settings you have given it [05:55] ok, that sounds familiar to what i've read. but where is that file and what do i change? [05:56] faustus: i cannot tell you exactly what to do, but it will probably involve you needing to to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:56] i'm also fairly new, so how do i go about that? [05:57] faustus: what to put there, especially for a dual monitor setup, i do not know... it would be best if you could copy an xorg.conf from someone who has one that is working with that card [05:57] oh man. i've seen things posted that are models close to my card, but not mine specifically [05:58] faustus: i would ask in the forums for an example of a working xorg.conf for a a radeon 7000 for kubuntu 10.10.... i imagine someone will respond if you are able to possibly wait a day or two [05:59] faustus: if i get the time, i might put a radeon 7000 in a spare box here, and see if i cannot figure it out.... if i do, i will try to get it posted to the forums [06:01] how does this look? [06:01] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [06:01] would you by chance be able to email me? i don't have subscriptions to most the forums and not a lot of free time. [06:02] i've been using mostly google, because i imagine they are pretty common problems [06:04] faustus: i cannot guarantee that i will have time... but i have a feeling that the docs you linked me to would give some very good idea.... if i do find the time, iwll try to make a fresh forum post on configuring radeon 7000 in maverick [06:05] faustus: i am also often in here late evenings (eastern time, US) [06:05] Hey guys, collabra and faustus, thanks for the help, im on wireless now... [06:05] grimace: congrats!,... that's bad ass. [06:05] Its actually wasn't too hard, and I learnt something. [06:06] i just dont get why partner repos arent enabled by default [06:06] is it because kubuntu doesnt want to support partner packages [06:07] grimace: i think that partner repos are under different copyright or opensource policies [06:07] oic [06:07] grimace: partner repos are never enabled by default, because they contain packages with non-free licenses [06:08] Well i was asked a similar question upon install and i said yes to allowing copywritten drivers [06:08] grimace: hmm, i would have assumes that would have enabled those repos, but i am not sure [06:09] meh, oh well its fixed now.. [06:09] :) [06:09] thanks again guys, knowing my luck I will be back [06:09] but until then :D [06:09] cya [06:10] thanks, man! i'll come back and check in soon. [06:10] what's a good way to avoid installing the wrong stuff and messing up the chance of a workable solution? [06:11] faustus:you will not need to install anything for your video... you will be using the native free/open drivers that you already have installed [06:12] i'm talking in general, like the wireless issue. [06:12] faustus: do NOT try to install any proprietary AMD/ATI drivers... you will bork things royally that way [06:12] i would have installed 10 things if i followed every guide i found [06:12] ok [06:12] faustus: well, i do not know about your other hardware [06:13] faustus: is your wireless not working? [06:15] would anyone here know anything what would happen if a person simply removed pulseaudio in 10.10? [06:17] jmichaelx: i'm not sure,... but a note,... not knowing why,... but, what's with all the hostility against pulseaudio?,... i've never had a problem. [06:18] jmichaelx: did it have issues back in the day or something? [06:19] collabra: pulseaudio is awesome, if it works with your hardware... i had no problems with it in the last several versions of kubuntu, but i have major issues with it in 10.10 [06:20] collabra: this is using intel HD audio [06:20] ahh,... it's just that i've heard many user hating on pulse [06:20] collabra:pulse can really suck sometimes [06:20] collabra: like many things in linux, pulse is only half-baked [06:21] jmichaelx: what's prefered by users when it comes to audio, then? [06:22] collabra: pulseaudio is preferred, IF it works well with your hardware... and 10.10 is the first version of kubuntu in which pulseaudio is there by default. oddly, it is also the first time that it has not worked for me on this machine [06:22] collabra: without pulse, a person would normally just rely on alsa [06:23] collabra: and i have just confirmed that if i avoid using pulseaudio, my sound is fine.... using pulseaudio (at least the way it is presently configured) it sucks [06:24] so, i'm not using pulse then,.. 10.04.... hmm,... that's why my audio didn't work well in 10.10 [06:24] jmi: my wireless is working now [06:24] jmichaelx: i'm thinking i experienced the same issue you are, then. [06:25] it's just now the video card doesn't hold resolution and i can't get dual monitors. once that works i'll be golden. [06:25] faustus: awesome.... many wireless adapters work out-of-the-box these days, and many othes work with some minor tweaking [06:25] collabra: it is possible. do you know what audio adapter you are using? [06:25] yeah, it took me a few days of attempted various combinations of commands [06:26] i have to run, but i'll be back in. thanks for your help! [06:26] take care, faustus.... i will try to look into your video settings [06:27] jmichaelx: HDA Intel : ALC 2100 analog is my primary,... with HDA Intel: HDMI as secondary [06:28] jmichaelx: sorry 1200 not 2100 [06:28] collabra: yeah, so you may well be running into issues similar to mine [06:29] collabra: my intel HD chipset is not exactly the same as yours... but i have read that a number of them are having issues [06:29] jmichaelx: all i know is the driver installed was a generic,... not even a mention of any Intel driver [06:31] collabra: well, that in itself does not necessarily mean that anything was amiss.... the gold standard is just 'did it work, or did it not?' [06:31] jmichaelx: and i truly hated the mixer,... i had absolutely no options in 1010 [06:31] collabra: yes, i hate that , too [06:32] collabra: i think it was premature for pulseaudio to have been installed by default in 10.10.... but that is how they do things [06:32] jmichaelx: yeah, it did work,.. but, it just didn't 'feel' right, if you catch my drift [06:32] i have no confidence in 1010 [06:33] collabra: yes, and that may well mean that something wasn't quite right... i know my sound hasn't been right, but if i play music with an app that does not use pulseaudio, things are fine [06:33] i'm just very glad that when i installed 10.04 i created a separate /home directory.... I would have lost tons of document, music, files and such [06:33] going back to 10.04 that is [06:34] collabra: a separate /home makes many things so much slicker [06:35] well,... i've experienced /home directory losses and just got tired and then got careful. [06:35] collabra: i am planning to stay in 10.10 on this machine, but i had to revert my laptop from 10.10 to 10.04, and as you say, with a separate /home, it was really no big deal [06:36] collabra: the best plan is to have a separate /home, and to keep /home backed up somewhere else [06:36] that is what i generally aim for [06:36] i have a 320gb hd on my laptop,... and use 300 of it for my home dir [06:37] home being at the end of the drive and tagged as a logical drive [07:09] about 300 blocked updates. anyway to fix?

[08:54] poyntz: so, if you don't need it unistall xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [08:55] poyntz: i am late to the game, and should retire soon... but are you trying to remove nouveau due to some conflict with proprietary nvidia drivers? [08:56] jmichaelx: well I catched a liittle cold, so I drink coffe with vodka :) I call it "the russian coffee" :) [08:56] russian coffee sounds excellent [08:56] but then again, that is coming from someone who both a known caffeine and a known alcohol addict [08:57] little bit like irish coffee, but without flavor [08:57] ya [08:57] i like irish coffee [08:57] BATi: trying that now [08:57] without added flavor, that was what I ment [08:57] ya, i assumed that is what you meant [08:58] a person could always purchase some flavored syrup [08:59] jmichaelx: so ya skilled caffeine and alcohol user, from what I read :))) [09:00] BATi: yes, bordering on professional [09:00] jmichaelx: same on me, same on me... [09:01] BATi: goes well with debugging of all sorts [09:02] jmichaelx: well, yeah, I've ended rewriting whole program and in the morning I did not recognized it :) [09:03] BATi: and yet it worked better than ever before, though, right? [09:03] jmichaelx: yep :) [09:03] BATi: well it's workin now [09:03] :-D [09:04] BATi: hopefully i don't need nouveau.. :S [09:04] poyntz: that is something YOU should know, man.... [09:05] now if i could only figure out what the best way would be to disable pulseaudio in kubuntu maverick [09:05] jmichaelx: forever, or temporarily? [09:06] BATi: i am afraid forever, provided that forever means until natty release [09:06] hello everyone [09:07] one of my ntfs partition is corrupt, is there a utility like chkdisk [09:07] fsck [09:07] poyntz: This driver for the X.Org X server (see xserver-xorg for a further description) [09:07] provides support for NVIDIA Riva, TNT, GeForce, and Quadro cards. [09:07] and fsck is not quite as profane as it appears [09:08] poyntz: so if you don't have any of those cards, you can remove it [09:08] but does fsck work well with NTFS? [09:08] jmichaelx: what is the utility that kubuntu uses by default to check the disks at startup [09:08] phoenix_firebrd: that should be fsck [09:09] at least that would be my presumption [09:09] jmichaelx: what are the parameters that i have to give for the fsck [09:10] jmichaelx: the best option is remove the package pulseaudio [09:11] phoenix_firebrd: from what i am reading, you should not / cannot use fsck with ntfs [09:11] ji,jmichaelx ima getting an error [09:11] BATi: i suspected as much. i have both gnome and kde installed on this system, so i guess removing pulseaudio with probably mess gnome up a bit... but i don't care [09:12] jmichaelx: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 [09:12] filesystem [09:12] phoenix_firebrd: you should probably use chkdisk from a windows machine [09:13] jmichaelx: will this work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=729535 [09:13] jmichaelx: it should not mess anything... I've removed pulseaudio because of flightgear, and there was no problem.... [09:13] phoenix_firebrd: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=881344 [09:15] BATi: ty, i will probably proceed with pulseaudio removal later in the day. it's a shame.... it had worked fine for me on this machine the past few years, but suddenly in 10.10 it is turning my audio in something that sounds the way feces small [09:15] smell* [09:16] hi room [09:16] anyone from india here? [09:16] BATi: right now i am playing music with moc (therefore bypassing pulse) and the music is great [09:16] if i use amarok, things get ugly [09:17] BATi: yeh.. i got nvidia.. [09:18] jmichaelx: well... nothing is perfect... until you carve it to your desired shape... which is with linux possible :) [09:18] BATi: exactly why i adore linux [09:18] Resume playback on start doesn't work under Configure Playback in Amarok... How to fix it? [09:19] poyntz: and which type of card, certainly not a RIVA [09:20] jmichaelx: I too... and makes great server too :) win-win situation :) [09:20] poyntz: 'lspci | grep VGA' [09:21] BATi: that is for sure [09:23] jmichaelx: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [GeForce Go 7400] (rev a1) [09:24] poyntz: then you can deinstall that conflicing package [09:24] as in the nouveau one? [09:26] poyntz: there is a proprietary nvidia driver you can install with that card, but you may run into complications getting it configured properly [09:26] poyntz: yes [09:27] poyntz: nouveau would be the simpler solution... you would just have no 3d acceleration or compositing [09:28] jmichaelx: he have geforce card not a riva card... [09:29] jmichaelx: so he don't need that driver [09:29] BATi: i see that... it looks like the card can use a more modern proprietary driver than i thought [09:29] BATi: i agree. his card is newer than i thought it was [09:30] i have an nvidia go in an older P4 laptop that needs the 96 driver... i just use nouveua [09:30] nouveau* [09:30] jmichaelx: well riva is older, in that times I had a hair long to the waist :) [09:30] but his is more recent [09:30] lol [09:30] BATi: and now you have no hair? [09:30] :-) [09:31] jmichaelx: well, after chemotherphy and those things... I just keep a short hair :) [09:32] ayayay... i would say [09:32] np [09:33] BATi: knowing you had chemo, i must say, glad that you are here with us [09:33] good night, all ! [09:34] happy hacking, etc [09:34] jmichaelx: to you too! === Kalidarn is now known as zz_Kalidarn [09:35]
