| Cheri703 | is there software to have sound activation? I don't want sound activated recording, I want to play a sound when it hears an external sound...if that makes sense | 02:49 |
|---|---|---|
| Cheri703 | Is there a way to view current mic input level from terminal? or a command so a value can be acquired? | 03:26 |
| seidos | Cheri703: alsamixer? | 03:27 |
| seidos | not sure if that's what you're looking for | 03:27 |
| Cheri703 | no, eventual goal is "if the mic input goes over X, then play this sound" | 03:28 |
| Cheri703 | so I need to figure out how to find X | 03:28 |
| seidos | ahhhh | 03:28 |
| Cheri703 | and get it to recognize X | 03:28 |
| seidos | maybe there's something in /dev | 03:28 |
| Cheri703 | hmm.. | 03:29 |
| seidos | there's /dev/audio | 03:29 |
| seidos | or maybe something in /proc | 03:30 |
| seidos | maybe /proc/asound | 03:31 |
| Cheri703 | I dunno :/ I'm not even sure what I'm looking for | 03:31 |
| seidos | i'm just wondering where the state of the mic input level is stored | 03:32 |
| seidos | so that you can get it | 03:32 |
| seidos | i have no idea how to get it, really | 03:32 |
| seidos | but maybe i can help find the file for you | 03:32 |
| Cheri703 | yeah, I have no clue :/ | 03:32 |
| Cheri703 | I appreciate it! | 03:32 |
| seidos | i know that /cat/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state has live info on battery state | 03:33 |
| seidos | so it could be the same for mic | 03:34 |
| Cheri703 | *shrug* I don't know much about the internal workings of a lot of ubuntu :/ | 03:35 |
| Cheri703 | sounds feasible | 03:35 |
| seidos | i don't know much about internal workings, or coding | 03:35 |
| seidos | i am just crawling in the dark | 03:35 |
| Cheri703 | I appreciate it :) | 03:36 |
| seidos | Cheri703: i would ask in #alsa or #pulseaudio | 03:37 |
| seidos | those folks would probably know | 03:37 |
| Cheri703 | ok | 03:37 |

| Guest33341 | what are the latest distribution of linux | 12:50 |
| duanedesign | hello | 12:50 |
| Guest33341 | and what is the difference between ubuntu and linux...which one i should use | 12:50 |
| duanedesign | the latest Ubuntu release is Maverick Meerkat | 12:50 |
| bioterror | :D | 12:50 |
| tronyx | morning | 12:50 |
| bioterror | linux is the kernel of the GNU/Linux operating system | 12:51 |
| duanedesign | ubuntu is a linux distrobution | 12:51 |
| Guest33341 | Mandriva? | 12:51 |
| duanedesign | same | 12:51 |
| bioterror | Mandriva is distrobution too | 12:51 |
| bioterror | and uses GNU tools with Linux kernel | 12:51 |
| Guest33341 | so which one i should use, ubuntu or mandriva | 12:51 |
| duanedesign | they are all distrubutions built around the linux kernel | 12:51 |
| duanedesign | if you are a first time user i would recommend Ubuntu | 12:52 |
| bioterror | Guest33341, you can guess our answer for that question | 12:52 |
| duanedesign | well actually i would recommend Ubuntu to everyone :) | 12:52 |
| bioterror | if you go to #mandriva, they will tell their | 12:52 |
| Guest33341 | i used it before, but sudo command and all those i cant understand well | 12:53 |
| duanedesign | Ubuntu being such a popular Linux distro you will find information and support generally easier to come by | 12:53 |
| Guest33341 | i know dos commands very well | 12:53 |
| * duanedesign waves at tronyx and bioterror | 12:54 | |

| mer_ge | stupid question, but can I change my password as usual, when I choose to encrypt my home (during install)? | 13:29 |
| MrChrisDruif | mer_ge: I think you can change passwords as normal. Only the partition is locked till the registered password is entered | 13:30 |

| bioterror | somehow the grub cant find the hdd | 14:00 |

| MrChrisDruif | Thanks holstein :) | 14:01 |
| MrChrisDruif | Jon__: What's wrong? Why do I suck? | 14:01 |
| Jon__ | never mind i found out you were helping someone else out. sorry | 14:02 |

| bioterror | holstein, not quite sure | 14:07 |
| bioterror | I cant remember :D | 14:07 |
| bioterror | but it wont hurt :D | 14:07 |

| Jon__ | how do i do the update | 14:08 |
| bioterror | holstein, you should be worried as you're using same kind of words as I do | 14:08 |
| holstein | sudo update-grub | 14:08 |
| holstein | in a terminal | 14:08 |
| Jon__ | where do i put that line | 14:08 |
| holstein | then hit the 'enter' key | 14:08 |
| holstein | Jon__: what line? | 14:08 |
| holstein | sudo update-grub? | 14:08 |
| Jon__ | sudo update-grub | 14:08 |
| holstein | in the application 'terminal' | 14:09 |

| holstein | menu applications - accessories - terminal | 14:09 |
| Jon__ | i don't see accesories or terminal. am i in the right place? | 14:10 |
| holstein | Jon__: on the main gnome panel | 14:10 |
| holstein | you see the work 'applications' | 14:11 |
| holstein | click that | 14:11 |
| holstein | then, you click the word 'accessories' | 14:11 |
| holstein | then, you should see 'terminal' | 14:11 |
| holstein | Jon__: this is ubuntu 10.10 ? | 14:11 |
| Jon__ | is that when i first start my netbook | 14:11 |
| Jon__ | and yes | 14:11 |
| holstein | well, im assuming you are using a live cd? | 14:11 |
| Jon__ | usb stick | 14:11 |
| holstein | that might complicate the grub update | 14:12 |
| Jon__ | what do i do from start to finish? | 14:12 |
| holstein | Jon__: update the grub file | 14:14 |
| Jon__ | i don't know how | 14:14 |
| holstein | right | 14:14 |
| holstein | lets go back to adding that line | 14:14 |
| holstein | i dont think that took you long enough | 14:14 |
| holstein | how did you do that? | 14:14 |
| holstein | what file did you edit? | 14:15 |
| holstein | can you use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ so we can see the changes made | 14:15 |

| bioterror | Users have reported slower than normal detection of SATA hard drives on systems with Intel D945 motherboards in Ubuntu 8.10. This may cause the system to drop to a busybox initramfs shell on boot with a "Gave up waiting for root device." error. Wait a minute or two and then exit the initramfs shell by typing 'exit'. Booting should proceed normally. If it doesn't, wait a bit longer and try | 14:16 |
| bioterror | again. | 14:16 |
| Jon__ | i'll try | 14:17 |
| nlsthzn | bioterror: what is the beginners team chat channel again? | 14:17 |
| holstein | at some point you'll have to stop trying things Jon__ | 14:17 |
| holstein | and boot that machine | 14:17 |
| holstein | make it boot | 14:17 |
| bioterror | nlsthzn, what? | 14:17 |
| bioterror | nlsthzn, #ubuntu-beginners-team | 14:18 |
| nlsthzn | bioterror: thanks | 14:19 |
| Jon__ | how do i 'make it boot'? | 14:19 |
| holstein | Jon__: let make sure you have fully implemented the couple suggestions you have | 14:20 |
| Jon__ | well i put in exit like you said and the same thing came up again | 14:21 |
| bioterror | wait longer and type again :D | 14:21 |
| holstein | yeah, "wait a minute or 2" | 14:21 |
| holstein | id say give it 4 or 5 | 14:21 |
| bioterror | or get a new motherboard ;) | 14:21 |
| holstein | try it, then rule it out, and move on | 14:21 |
| holstein | yeah, ^^ | 14:21 |
| holstein | contact the vendor | 14:22 |
| Jon__ | how | 14:22 |
| holstein | they probably have an email address | 14:22 |
| holstein | i like to send that email | 14:22 |
| holstein | not a nasty one | 14:23 |
| Jon__ | thanks for the help that really didn't help me | 14:23 |
| holstein | just to let the vendors know that the product is not working for me | 14:23 |
| holstein | with linux | 14:23 |
| holstein | Jon__: so, you've waited 5 minutes? | 14:23 |
| holstein | and tried that? | 14:23 |
| Jon__ | yes | 14:23 |
| holstein | ok | 14:23 |
| holstein | http://paste.ubuntu.com/ what you have in /etc/default/grub | 14:24 |
| Jon__ | that site is not found | 14:25 |
| holstein | http://pastebin.com/ | 14:25 |
| holstein | maybe | 14:25 |
| holstein | is that machine online? | 14:25 |
| holstein | you can test in the terminal | 14:25 |
| holstein | ping -c 4 google.com | 14:25 |
| Jon__ | is that all help you can give me | 14:26 |
| holstein | ? | 14:26 |
| holstein | what is in your /etc/default/grub file? | 14:27 |
| Jon__ | where do i find that. im clueless on this stuff | 14:27 |
| holstein | i want to confirm that the changes have been made properly | 14:27 |
| holstein | then, we can move on to more help i may or may not have | 14:27 |
| holstein | Jon__: thats what im concered about | 14:28 |
| holstein | you are supposed to have edited that file | 14:28 |
| holstein | in step one | 14:28 |
| holstein | right when you joined the channel | 14:28 |
| holstein | and, its totally cool that you dont know where that file is | 14:28 |
| Jon__ | tell me again | 14:28 |
| holstein | BUT... | 14:28 |
| holstein | you need to edit the file | 14:28 |
| holstein | /etc/default/grub | 14:29 |
| holstein | you can do that several ways | 14:29 |
| Jon__ | where is it | 14:29 |
| Jon__ | how | 14:29 |
| holstein | hmmm | 14:29 |
| holstein | the file is in /etc/default | 14:29 |
| Jon__ | how do i navigate there | 14:29 |
| holstein | however you feel comfortable | 14:30 |
| holstein | you just want to make sure you are getting the one that is on the hard drive | 14:30 |
| holstein | and not the one on the USB stick | 14:30 |
| holstein | *if there is one on the USB stick | 14:30 |
| Jon__ | i dont have the stick in | 14:31 |
| holstein | OK | 14:31 |
| holstein | so, how are you booting the machine? | 14:31 |
| Jon__ | turn it on | 14:31 |
| holstein | my diagnostic process is based on you having booted from a USB stick | 14:31 |
| holstein | let me know when you are booted into that machine | 14:32 |
| holstein | from live USB or CD | 14:32 |
| Jon__ | i have booted from the usb stick to install ubuntu to the hard drive in my toshiba netbook | 14:32 |
| holstein | Jon__: but the netbook is booting right? | 14:33 |
| holstein | thats not the one with the error? | 14:33 |
| Jon__ | yes it will boot and ubuntu will work on my usb stick butnot on my hard drive | 14:33 |
| holstein | so, the toshiba netbook is the machine in question? | 14:33 |
| holstein | with the boot issue? | 14:34 |
| Jon__ | what do you suggest | 14:34 |
| holstein | well, assuming that the answer to that question is 'yes' | 14:34 |
| holstein | and the netbook is the machine in question | 14:34 |
| holstein | that is not booting | 14:34 |
| holstein | let me know when you are booted into that machine with a live USB stick or CD | 14:35 |
| holstein | and we'll go from there | 14:35 |
| holstein | thats one way you can edit the grub file | 14:35 |
| Jon__ | ok i have a screen with try ubuntu for free or install | 14:37 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1473416 | 14:37 |
| holstein | i think we are on the right track | 14:38 |
| holstein | Jon__: you want to 'try ubuntu' | 14:38 |
| holstein | so we can edit your grub file | 14:38 |
| Jon__ | hold on... and that link, how is that suppose to help? | 14:39 |
| holstein | well, that is someone with a toshiba netbook | 14:39 |
| holstein | with the same error | 14:39 |
| holstein | running ubuntu 10.04 | 14:40 |
| holstein | Jon__: anyways, im about to run out for a bit | 14:40 |
| holstein | good luck to you | 14:40 |
| Jon__ | thanks | 14:40 |
| holstein | when joining support channels, you might want to lead with 'my motherboard sucks' | 14:40 |
| Jon__ | i have 10.10 | 14:41 |
| holstein | instead of MrChrisDruif sucks | 14:41 |
| holstein | or whatever | 14:41 |
| Jon__ | ok | 14:41 |
| holstein | no one is on salary here :) | 14:41 |
| holstein | but help will be given | 14:41 |
| MrChrisDruif | holstein: Sup? | 14:41 |
| Jon__ | i apologize | 14:41 |
| holstein | not to me | 14:41 |

| aveilleux | Jomik: It creates an empty file if one does not already exist | 20:00 |
| Jomik | Ty :D | 20:01 |
| Jomik | Weird that he tells me to create a file with ENABLED=0, and after tells me to do a touch to the exact same... | 20:01 |
| aveilleux | Jomik: Yeah I dunno why that's there. | 20:01 |
| Jomik | :D | 20:02 |
| Jomik | ooooh, the layout changed? O.o | 20:02 |
| Jomik | What da eff, my layout changed to greyish bars instead of the blackish, and it doesn't react to mouse clicks? :o | 20:03 |
| aveilleux | Jomik: Can you log out and log back in? | 20:04 |
| Jomik | I can shutdown the computer by taking the power. But I can't touch anything on the GUI | 20:05 |
| Jomik | or open a terminal | 20:05 |
| Jomik | doesn't react to keyboard or mouse. The mouse moves though | 20:05 |
| aveilleux | Jomik: ctrl+alt+f1, then log in via terminal, then run sudo reboot | 20:05 |
| aveilleux | Jomik: That'll kill your session here | 20:05 |
| aveilleux | Jomik: So you'll have to reconnect to freenode | 20:06 |
| Jomik | I think I was logged in | 20:06 |
| Jomik | Nah, it's another computer : | 20:06 |
| aveilleux | Jomik: Ah, okay | 20:06 |
| Jomik | no reaction whatsoever to sudo reboot XD | 20:07 |
| aveilleux | Jomik: that should have rebooted the computer. | 20:07 |
| aveilleux | Jomik: Did you get to a Terminal? It should have blacked the screen and said "/dev/tty1" at the top. | 20:07 |
| Jomik | doesn't work with sudo shutdown now either | 20:07 |
| Jomik | It has | 20:07 |
| aveilleux | Jomik: Try sudo shutdown -r now | 20:08 |
| Jomik | Ubuntu 10.10 server-pc tty3 (I did f3 because f1 was just blank) | 20:08 |
| aveilleux | (The "now" is a part of the command) | 20:08 |
| Jomik | yeah | 20:08 |
| Jomik | nothing either | 20:08 |
| Jomik | CTRL + ALT + F7 brings me to the GUI? It has a grey box now, where the accessories menu normally is. O.o | 20:09 |
| Jomik | Should I just cut the power? | 20:09 |
| Jomik | Lol, this is the same thing that happened before I formatted my hdd <.< | 20:11 |
| aveilleux | Jomik: Unfortunately I think it's the only option at this point | 20:11 |
| Jomik | Oh | 20:11 |
| Jomik | now it's the normal GUI | 20:11 |
| Jomik | Yeah, I went ahead and did it | 20:11 |
| Jomik | It's trying to connect automatically again, but doesn't seem like it'll be able to <.< | 20:12 |
| aveilleux | Jomik: Right-click on the manager, click "edit connections", and delete the connection. Then start over. | 20:13 |
| Jomik | like, redo the driver installations? :o | 20:13 |
| Jomik | Do you have teamviewer? | 20:14 |
| aveilleux | Jomik: Uh, no, I meant redo the connection. | 20:15 |
| aveilleux | Jomik: Yes | 20:15 |
| Jomik | Would you mind popping on teamviewer? The computer in question has it. >.< | 20:24 |
| Jomik | I tried reconnecting now, it didn't work again | 20:24 |
| aveilleux | Jomik: If you can't get a network connection then how can I use TeamViewer? | 20:25 |
| Jomik | Wired network | 20:25 |
| aveilleux | Jomik: PM me for a minute | 20:25 |
| Jomik | I need it to be wireless, cuz atm I have a cable throughout the whole house, which is pretty annoying. | 20:25 |
| Jomik | Hey again, problem didn't get solved. So I wanna hear if anyone here thinks they can help me set up my wireless connection to connect to a WPA secure connection. I have it on a wired connection, but I need it to be wireless. The computer has teamviewer, so you can control it and see what happens if you want. Please help? XD | 20:40 |

| Jomik | Heya, new question; is it possible to check if you're connected to the internet in a sh script? Like, start this program after the computer connected to the internet after startup. | 21:18 |
| JackyAlcine | Jomik: use the ping command. | 21:20 |
| JackyAlcine | ie: ping http://www.google.com -1 | 21:21 |

| bioterror | :D | 22:09 |
| Jomik | Why does my script in the if-down.d folder work when the script in the if-up.d folder doesn't? O.o | 22:25 |
| Jomik | How do I run a bash script from another bash script? | 22:28 |
| Jomik | szczur can you help me again? XD | 22:28 |
| szczur | you can run script from a script by using "exec" command | 22:29 |
| szczur | for example exec /etc/networking/if-up.d/connected.sh | 22:30 |
| Jomik | Yeah, I tried executing it... like exec /usr/bin/teamviewer | 22:30 |
| Jomik | I had a script in if-up.d | 22:30 |
| szczur | it should work | 22:30 |
| szczur | lemme check | 22:30 |
| Jomik | mine is in /etc/network/if-up.d | 22:32 |
| Jomik | and the script in /etc/network/if-down.d/ works ... O.o | 22:32 |
| mer_ge | hi! can't I just create an additional user with encrypted /home in 10.04? | 22:38 |
| mer_ge | there is no such option | 22:39 |
| Jomik | szczur do you have teamviewer? | 22:39 |
| szczur | Jomik, nope | 22:39 |
| Jomik | Damn | 22:40 |
| Jomik | pisses me off that it wont start O.o | 22:40 |
| Jomik | I can type "teamviewer" in the terminal | 22:40 |
| Jomik | and it'll start | 22:40 |
| bioterror | mer_ge, sudo adduser --encrypt-home <user> | 22:40 |
| Jomik | I can type /usr/bin/teamviewer, and it'll start. | 22:40 |
| Jomik | But, neither of those works in the script | 22:41 |
| Jomik | with or without exec | 22:41 |
| mer_ge | bioterror thanks! that simple? | 22:41 |
| bioterror | mer_ge, yup, that simple | 22:42 |
| Jomik | bioterror, any ideas? XD | 22:44 |
| bioterror | what | 22:44 |
| Jomik | Why a script wont run from if-up.d when it'll run from if-down.d ? | 22:44 |
| Jomik | etc/network/if-* | 22:44 |
| === satamusic_ is now known as satamusic | ||
| szczur | Jomik, can i take a look at the script | 23:03 |
| szczur | still searching for solution :) | 23:03 |
| Jomik | my script is 2 lines | 23:06 |
| Jomik | #!bin/sh | 23:06 |
| Jomik | teamviewer | 23:06 |
| Jomik | it works if I run it manually | 23:06 |
| Jomik | it starts up teamviewer | 23:06 |
| Jomik | but it doesn't work otherwise | 23:06 |
| Jomik | teamviewer is in /usr/bin | 23:07 |
| Jomik | and /usr/bin is in the $PATH | 23:07 |
| Jomik | Hey szczur, I have to run now... Could you mail me if you find an answer? I'll send you a query with my email. | 23:20 |
| szczur | ok | 23:21 |
| Jomik | tyvm :) | 23:21 |
