eemerica2shey guys I'm having a bit of trouble with my ipod touch. When I ran the live CD, i plugged my ipod in and it showed all the songs no problem. After installing it I plugged it in and every music player I tried (amarok, banshee, rythmbox, gtkpod) all day there are "0 songs" on my ipod, yet my ipod still shows a full list of songs and everything. any ideas?02:09
pleia2phillw: still about? just walked in the door02:09
phillwpleia2: I'm just having a chat in council :)02:11
pleia2phillw: ok, did you need something from me?02:13
pleia2eemerica2s: don't know anything about ipods, sorry :(02:13
phillwpleia2: I was just seeking some advice, duanedesign and cprofitt are giving it me now. :)02:14
pleia2ok, cool :)02:14
eemerica2spleia2: no problem i'll chill here for a bit and see if anyone has any insight or else i'll just post it in the forums. would the beginners forum be a good place or should i post it elsewhere? (I dont have the forum topics open at the moment, studying for an exam :P)02:15
pleia2eemerica2s: beginners should be a fine place to post it02:15

mansoluvlucidHey,a'm on ubuntu lucid 10.04.Keyboard stops responding after closing and reopening laptop lid. Any idea.17:53
mansoluvlucid:n17:57
mansoluvlucid?? no discussion.17:57
jledbetterNot sure. Closing the lid puts the machine to sleep?17:59
trhisdonehello17:59
mansoluvlucidhai17:59
trhisdoned18:00
mansoluvlucid:osI currently have to restart my ubuntu lucid to make keyboard working again if close my laptop lid.18:01
mansoluvlucidhow can i locate the system process controlling this event . Any shell commands .18:03
mansoluvlucidto do so18:03
mansoluvlucid8)18:04
mansoluvlucid?? any commands - to locate a process that gets executed for  i/o event handling. eg: if i turn on my laptop's bluetooth/wifi button which event/thread handles this i/o.  I tried $top.But couldn't recognise the event.Any ideas / tips.18:13
mansoluvlucidtrhisdone:8) Any comments.18:16
mansoluvlucidjledbetter::)18:20
trhisdonehave you checked the bios? some laptops have choices in the bios to suspend the laptop when the lid is closed....maybe ubuntu cant figure this out?18:22
trhisdonealso if its a wubi install wubi doesn't support hibernation or suspend18:22
jledbetterOr maybe the energy setting? I have mine stay awake when I shut my lid.18:23
mansoluvlucidI could  suspend/resume  working perfectly. But it makes keyboard stops responding on resume,no key keyboard inputs are recognised.18:25
trhisdonei dont know i don't have ubuntu on my laptop18:25
mansoluvlucid.k Thanks for responding.:)b18:27
trhisdoneim a newbie to ubuntu ....18:27
bioterrormansoluvlucid, your laptop is?18:27
mansoluvlucidI found this ~Administr@64-203-185-194.cf.dmt.ntelos.net] entered the room.;)wos thinking . . .18:28
mansoluvlucidbioterror: sony vaio vgn cs-36mj18:28
bioterrorcant find much information18:32
bioterroryou should create a account to www.launchpad.net18:32
bioterrorand file a bug raport18:32
mansoluvlucidbioterror: I tried that once and the software couldn't successfully report the bug and asked me to update the system first. So thought to do it manually.:os Do you have any comment on this: How can i locate the process that is handling the  event/thread of laptop closing event.18:39
mansoluvlucidI tried  $top $ps etc .18:40
bioterrortechnically18:41
bioterroryou could try nomodeset in booting parameters18:41
bioterrorsounds little that kind of problem18:41
mansoluvlucidbioterror:I found this.Hope this is the required procedure for entering nomodeset parameter.* At install screen press F6 and select nomodeset and install Ubuntu as usual.18:47
mansoluvlucid* On first boot after install, press e on getting the GRUB bootloader.18:47
mansoluvlucid* Using arrow keys navigate to and delete quiet and splash and type the word nomodeset in their place18:47
mansoluvlucid* Press Ctrl and X to boot18:47
mansoluvlucid* You should now be able to login to your Ubuntu as usual18:47
mansoluvlucid8)18:48
bioterrorwell18:49
bioterrorwhen it boots18:49
bioterroryou edit that boot line and add "nomodeset" with out "" to the end18:49
mansoluvlucid;) will be trying that soon.Thanks bioterror.18:52
bioterrorhey18:53
bioterrorthat disables Kernel Mode Setting18:53
bioterrormight take some features like sounds and stuff like that off, but we'll see if the resume works18:53
mansoluvlucidOMG.That leaves something more to do.18:54
mansoluvlucidbioterror:may i know the if/else case.If(working) what to do;   else what to do;18:57
mansoluvlucidsorry : wrong simile18:57
mansoluvlucid:D18:57
mansoluvlucidmay i know the if/else case.If(working) what to do;   else what to do;18:58
bioterrorwell, it helps making bug raport, at least18:58
