RealEyes | <.<; | 00:36 |
RealEyes | okay guys I have a small problem with os-prober. It won't find my win7 on /media/sda! How do I fix this? | 00:49 |
MrChrisDruif | Hai RealEyes :) Still no luck? | 00:50 |
RealEyes | Yeah :P | 00:50 |
RealEyes | So, what I did is switched the sata cables and made my win7 hdd /sda | 00:50 |
MrChrisDruif | Well...I'm outta options....good luck is all I can say :) | 00:51 |
RealEyes | Thanks for the luck! :P | 00:53 |
MrChrisDruif | I'm off to bed.....sleep well later | 00:54 |
RealEyes | This sums up my whole problem, when you consider that Win7 should be there as well: http://pastebin.com/4e6SRQvT | 00:58 |
evilduanedesign | RealEyes: you might have to add the Windows entries manually | 01:08 |
RealEyes | :( | 01:08 |
gentlewords | This is my first try at chat rooms and IRC, so here goes, my question is this: after you install some application, and I generally use the "Ubuntu Software Center", it sometimes happens that you cannot find it in the "applications" drop-down menu, which has games, accessories, graphics...etc. This is my general complaint. So how do you invoke a new application that you cannot find? | 01:53 |
evilduanedesign | hello gentlewords | 01:54 |
gentlewords | hello | 01:54 |
ddecator | the latest software center tells you where you can find it :) | 01:54 |
gentlewords | so I how do i install it? | 01:54 |
ddecator | if you use KDE, you can hit "alt-f2" and start typing the name of the application and it should pop up | 01:54 |
gentlewords | I don't use KDE | 01:55 |
gentlewords | I just tried alt-f2 anyway and something popped up that I think will get me going. Thank YOU!!! | 01:56 |
ddecator | you'd have to use a PPA or natty. a better option is to try finding it. i believe using alt-f2 in GNOME will bring up a launcher where you can start typing the application and it will auto-complete the command. what applicaion are you trying to find? | 01:56 |
ddecator | oh, haha, beat me to it | 01:56 |
gentlewords | I installed maxima but I still can't find it, not even in the | 01:57 |
gentlewords | run application...application. | 01:58 |
ddecator | looks like maxima doesn't have a graphical frontend by default...did you use the software center? | 01:58 |
ddecator | or maybe it does, i'm not sure which of these results i'm supposed to be looking at.. | 01:59 |
evilduanedesign | gentlewords: if it is a command line app, try running the command maxima from the Terminal | 02:00 |
evilduanedesign | also you can use the command : where maxima | 02:00 |
gentlewords | I had maxima running before and I invoked it via my tray. ... OK, i will try the terminal. Thanks for that suggestion. | 02:00 |
evilduanedesign | where should find the executable for the package | 02:01 |
gentlewords | I tried typing in "where maxima" and got: | 02:02 |
gentlewords | Excuse me, i'm not used to this... and no luck. | 02:03 |
evilduanedesign | where maxima did not return anything? | 02:04 |
gentlewords | I tried typing just "maxima" and got some kind of error. | 02:04 |
gentlewords | I can't cut & paste from the console. | 02:05 |
ddecator | either use right-clicks, or ctrl+shift+c | 02:06 |
gentlewords | but, I got an error that said "no command 'where' found" | 02:06 |
gentlewords | great right-clicks works | 02:07 |
gentlewords | Now I recall that there was some kind of front end to maxima that gave me a graphical interface. | 02:08 |
evilduanedesign | looks like that might be called xmaxima | 02:09 |
evilduanedesign | dpkg -L maxima | 02:10 |
gentlewords | that sounds familiar | 02:10 |
evilduanedesign | ^^ that command will list all files installed by a package | 02:10 |
evilduanedesign | look for the file installed in /usr/bin | 02:10 |
evilduanedesign | that is the command that will launch the application | 02:10 |
gentlewords | (%i1) dpkg -L maxima | 02:11 |
gentlewords | Incorrect syntax: MAXIMA is not an infix operator | 02:11 |
gentlewords | ok /usr/bin I will look | 02:12 |
gentlewords | there is a shell script called maxima in /usr/bin so i suppose I should click on it? | 02:15 |
evilduanedesign | looking at the maxima documentation 'maxima' is the correct command to launch the application | 02:15 |
evilduanedesign | http://maxima.sourceforge.net/docs/manual/en/maxima_1.html#SEC1 | 02:15 |
evilduanedesign | what error are you getting? | 02:15 |
evilduanedesign | ok | 02:17 |
gentlewords | I clicked on 'maxima' in /usr/bin and I think it came up running in 'terminal', but this is not how I'm comfortable using it. | 02:17 |
evilduanedesign | you are in the proggram | 02:17 |
evilduanedesign | Incorrect syntax: MAXIMA is not an infix operator | 02:17 |
evilduanedesign | that is an error from the program | 02:17 |
jdilla | hello | 02:17 |

evilduanedesign | if you dont like the Terminal | 02:47 |
evilduanedesign | hello fredhami | 02:47 |
jdilla | getting used to terminal its crazy compared to win 7 | 02:48 |
evilduanedesign | fredhami: I thought I had a guide on that...let me check | 02:48 |
fredhami | ok | 02:48 |
jdilla | but i started on ms dos many moons ago | 02:48 |
evilduanedesign | jdilla: most stuff can be dome either way terminal or GUI. | 02:48 |
evilduanedesign | it is just easier in IRC to give people terminal diresctions then guide them through different windows :) | 02:49 |
jdilla | agreed | 02:49 |
evilduanedesign | fredhami: http://www.pilpi.net/journal/2006/03/setting-up-dansguardian-on-a-single-home-pc-running-ubuntu/ | 02:53 |
evilduanedesign | this talks some about the configuration files http://dansguardian.org/downloads/detailedinstallation2.html#further | 02:54 |

evilduanedesign | whats the problem? | 03:12 |
RealEyes | I have to drives that I'm trying to dualboot | 03:13 |
RealEyes | two* | 03:13 |
RealEyes | the windows loader is gone | 03:13 |
RealEyes | sda with win7 and -no- grub and sdb with Ubuntu -with- grub | 03:14 |
jdilla | install windows on hdd first then use ubuntu disk to install next to win using slider to determain amount of disk space to use. | 03:17 |
evilduanedesign | http://erickoo.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/how-to-add-vista-partition-to-grub-2-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/ | 03:17 |
evilduanedesign | here is a guide showing how to add a manual entry. | 03:18 |
jdilla | evil how can i reconfigure grub so that win 7 is at top/boot with out action on default | 03:19 |
evilduanedesign | jdilla: if you want to make windows the default you can edit /etc/default/grub | 03:24 |
jdilla | were do I type that?> | 03:26 |
evilduanedesign | jdilla: fgrep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 03:26 |
evilduanedesign | run that command in a Terminal (applications > Accessories > Terminal) | 03:27 |
evilduanedesign | so if your windows entry is: | 03:28 |
evilduanedesign | menuentry "Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sdb2)" --class windows --class os { | 03:28 |
jdilla | mine is | 03:29 |
evilduanedesign | GRUB_DEFAULT= "Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sdb2)" | 03:29 |
evilduanedesign | run the command: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub | 03:29 |
evilduanedesign | bah, that came over backwards | 03:29 |
jdilla | menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" { | 03:30 |
evilduanedesign | run the gksudo command to open the file /etc/default/grub | 03:30 |
evilduanedesign | then find the GRUB_DEFAULT line | 03:30 |
evilduanedesign | change the 0 to "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" | 03:30 |
evilduanedesign | with the quotes | 03:31 |
evilduanedesign | then run the command: sudo update-grub | 03:31 |
jdilla | leave the 0 or delete it? | 03:35 |
jdilla | i think that totally worked you are so sick at this shit you ROX | 03:38 |

dj_ribale | gm | 12:35 |
ray_ | I got a couple questions | 12:42 |
MrChrisDruif | ray_: Shoot | 12:42 |
ray_ | What's the cammand for having ubuntu do a filesystem check at boot | 12:42 |
ray_ | at the next boot | 12:43 |
bioterror | why you want to do that, any specific reasons | 12:43 |
ray_ | I am having trouble with this hard drive | 12:43 |
ray_ | it can't handle things like my other hard drives | 12:43 |
ray_ | I am going to have to re-install, but before I do that I am going to use DBAN but before that I wanted to experiment but things aren't going well | 12:44 |
ray_ | I have been having other troubles as well | 12:45 |
ray_ | I know it's my own fault, no doubt | 12:45 |
ray_ | I tried installing Wine 1.3 | 12:45 |
ray_ | then I had no sound | 12:45 |
ray_ | then I rebooted and went into recovery mode | 12:46 |
ray_ | then I had sound back | 12:46 |
ray_ | at somepoint between that I had to un-install wine 1.3 | 12:46 |
ray_ | then I saw that it was in Synaptic Package manager so I said to myself | 12:46 |
ray_ | why not install it again for fun | 12:47 |
ray_ | then after moving some files are I wanted to move my hard drive acted like it was going to fail | 12:47 |
ray_ | and my computer froze several times | 12:47 |
ray_ | that's why | 12:47 |
ray_ | I un-installed wine 1.3 since then | 12:48 |
bioterror | you can define those things in fstab | 12:48 |
ray_ | I am not sure that this is a bad sector problem | 12:50 |
evilduanedesign | sudo shutdown -rF now | 12:50 |
ray_ | However, the Disk Utility said that it was perfectly fine before all this | 12:50 |
evilduanedesign | should force fsck on next boot | 12:50 |
bioterror | what a windows command :D | 12:51 |
ray_ | OK, why are the evil version version of duanedesign, lol | 12:51 |
bioterror | becouse he is iiivyl | 12:51 |
evilduanedesign | 0:-) | 12:51 |
ray_ | thank you | 12:51 |
ray_ | thank you guys | 12:51 |
MrChrisDruif | Your welcome ray_ :) | 12:52 |
ray_ | hmm, that rebooted my computer, but there was no filesystem check | 12:54 |
evilduanedesign | ok | 13:18 |

bhe | I am looking for help getting my sound card working. It's the last hurdle I have remaining. | 23:07 |
MrChrisDruif | bhe: What did you try already? It wouldn't help if we suggest things you already tried :) | 23:09 |
bhe | sure thing. first goal was getting someone's attention. | 23:10 |
bhe | ubuntu 10.10 minimal install. | 23:10 |
MrChrisDruif | bhe: If someone knows the answer he/she will respond :) | 23:10 |
MrChrisDruif | It's how we work, but with such a general problem, it's difficult to help :) | 23:10 |
MrChrisDruif | (I'm not sure if I can help thou, but I'll try nonetheless) | 23:11 |
bhe | I do not have external speakers. I only have a usb headset, might complicate things. I installed ALSA Mixer. My sound card is recognized as Realtek (what it is). | 23:11 |
bhe | a) i know there's a console command for alsa to test speakers, as I don't have flash installed to go play video, and no music either | 23:11 |
MrChrisDruif | bhe: aplay, yes | 23:12 |
bhe | so simply invoking aplay, without params should stream sound? | 23:13 |
bhe | aplay -l, gives me: card 1: Headset [HP Digital Stereo Headset], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] | 23:15 |
szczur | bhe, speaker-test -c 2 will test stereo channels | 23:15 |
szczur | you should hear white noise like in not tuned radio | 23:16 |
bhe | headset as well? | 23:16 |
MrChrisDruif | bhe: No, you should select a sound file to play :P | 23:16 |
bhe | don't have one handy. | 23:17 |
bhe | u know of system sound file? | 23:17 |
MrChrisDruif | With aplay that is bhe, sorry to get the misconception... | 23:17 |
bhe | oh gotcha | 23:17 |
MrChrisDruif | szczur: could you take over? I really need to get something done and then be off to bed | 23:17 |
szczur | also check in alsa mixer if MAster or PCM isn't muted [MM] | 23:18 |
bhe | regardless, don't worry bout me, get yourself some Zzzzz | 23:18 |
szczur | if it is, press M to unmute it | 23:18 |
MrChrisDruif | Thanks bhe :) (I don't want to leave people stranded here :)) | 23:20 |
bhe | no, thank you for acknowledging me! | 23:20 |
bhe | szcur, the speaker-test gives me nada | 23:20 |
szczur | bhe, check alsamixer if there's Master or PCM muted | 23:21 |
szczur | alsamixer is working, right? | 23:21 |
bhe | well the headphone option is at 00 | 23:23 |
bhe | but it's not muted, and im not porvided the option of raising it | 23:23 |
bhe | there are 3 sound cards available in the f6 menu | 23:24 |
szczur | what about PCM? | 23:24 |
szczur | can you provide a screenshot | 23:24 |
bhe | pcm is maxed out | 23:24 |
bhe | and not muted | 23:24 |
bhe | likewise for master | 23:25 |
szczur | :/ | 23:25 |
bhe | first i need to establish a test case to prove it's not working. | 23:26 |
bhe | should i try oss | 23:28 |
szczur | have you disabled integrated soundcard if there's any? run alsamixer again and press F6. Choose your USB soundcard and check everything again | 23:33 |
szczur | still searching solutions | 23:33 |
bhe | szcur: know of a lightweight Media Player? | 23:34 |
szczur | ohh, i'm using moc but it is terminal based (if it is a problem to you). i use deadbeef too | 23:35 |
trinikrono | bhe: hopefully this can help https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems | 23:35 |
trinikrono | lots of stuff to try in there | 23:36 |
bhe | thx trini, I guess i failed to mention im using xfce4 not gnome. much of the gui stuff doesn't translate to me | 23:37 |
xyclo | Hi | 23:44 |
trinikrono | well say you if you got it working bhe | 23:44 |
trinikrono | when i got a lot of trouble with the sound i ended up finding a old pci card i had and that sorted out all my sound problems | 23:44 |
xyclo | My internet connection (Verizon in NY) is extremely low now. I pay for 3Mb/s. I get under 1Mb/s. When I call they say they can only troubleshoot in Win and OSX or whatever apple's is called. Are there any settings to improve connection? I bet it is their crappy service, but I want to know if I can do something. I can take this to another channel if you deem it unsuitable. | 23:46 |
johnny77 | xyclo: how many computers are connected? | 23:48 |
bhe | trinikrono: still no luck, not giving up yet. | 23:48 |
bhe | I've had this sound card working in full ubuntu install | 23:49 |
trinikrono | well at least you know for sure the sound card itself is working | 23:49 |
xyclo | just 1 | 23:50 |
xyclo | johnny77, just 1 | 23:50 |
