[00:02] <pleia2> it's not easy, so be sure to read them :)
[00:02] <fredhami> thanks Once again Ill check itout
[00:36] <RealEyes> <.<;
[00:49] <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?
[00:50] <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
[00:51] <MrChrisDruif> Well...I'm outta options....good luck is all I can say :)
[00:53] <RealEyes> Thanks for the luck! :P
[00:54] <MrChrisDruif> I'm off to bed.....sleep well later
[00:58] <RealEyes> This sums up my whole problem, when you consider that Win7 should be there as well: http://pastebin.com/4e6SRQvT
[01:08] <evilduanedesign> RealEyes: you might have to add the Windows entries manually
[01:08] <RealEyes> :(
[01:53] <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?
[01:54] <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
[01:55] <gentlewords> I don't use KDE
[01:56] <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
[01:57] <gentlewords> I installed maxima but I still can't find it, not even in the
[01:58] <gentlewords> run application...application.
[01:58] <ddecator> looks like maxima doesn't have a graphical frontend by default...did you use the software center?
[01:59] <ddecator> or maybe it does, i'm not sure which of these results i'm supposed to be looking at..
[02:00] <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.
[02:01] <evilduanedesign> where should find the executable for the package
[02:02] <gentlewords> I tried typing in "where maxima" and got:
[02:03] <gentlewords> Excuse me, i'm not used to this... and no luck.
[02:04] <evilduanedesign> where maxima   did not return anything?
[02:04] <gentlewords> I tried typing just "maxima" and got some kind of error.
[02:05] <gentlewords> I can't cut & paste from the console.
[02:06] <ddecator> either use right-clicks, or ctrl+shift+c
[02:06] <gentlewords> but, I got an error that said "no command 'where' found"
[02:07] <gentlewords> great right-clicks works
[02:08] <gentlewords> Now I recall that there was some kind of front end to maxima that gave me a graphical interface.
[02:09] <evilduanedesign> looks like that might be called  xmaxima
[02:10] <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
[02:11] <gentlewords> (%i1) dpkg -L maxima
[02:11] <gentlewords> Incorrect syntax: MAXIMA is not an infix operator
[02:12] <gentlewords> ok /usr/bin I will look
[02:15] <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?
[02:17] <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] <gentlewords> hi jdilla.
[02:17] <evilduanedesign> hello jdilla

[02:27] <ddecator> are you using nvidia?
[02:27] <jdilla> i think its just ubuntu

[02:47] <evilduanedesign> if you dont like the Terminal
[02:47] <evilduanedesign> hello fredhami
[02:48] <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.
[02:49] <evilduanedesign> it is just easier in IRC to give people terminal diresctions then guide them through different windows :)
[02:49] <jdilla> agreed
[02:53] <evilduanedesign> fredhami:    http://www.pilpi.net/journal/2006/03/setting-up-dansguardian-on-a-single-home-pc-running-ubuntu/
[02:54] <evilduanedesign> this talks some about the configuration files  http://dansguardian.org/downloads/detailedinstallation2.html#further
[02:54] <evilduanedesign> fredhami: if you can catch bodhizazen he knows a lot about dansguardian.

[03:10] <RealEyes> Hey guys I need help with grub2.
[03:12] <evilduanedesign> whats the problem?
[03:13] <RealEyes> I have to drives that I'm trying to dualboot
[03:13] <RealEyes> two*
[03:13] <RealEyes> the windows loader is gone
[03:14] <RealEyes>  sda with win7 and -no- grub and sdb with Ubuntu -with- grub
[03:17] <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/
[03:18] <evilduanedesign> here is a guide showing how to add a manual entry.
[03:19] <jdilla> evil how can i reconfigure grub so that win 7 is at top/boot with out action on default
[03:24] <evilduanedesign> jdilla: if you want to make windows the default you can edit /etc/default/grub
[03:26] <jdilla> were do I type that?>
[03:26] <evilduanedesign> jdilla: fgrep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[03:27] <evilduanedesign> run that command in a Terminal (applications > Accessories > Terminal)
[03:28] <evilduanedesign> so if your windows entry is:
[03:28] <evilduanedesign> menuentry "Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sdb2)" --class windows --class os {
[03:29] <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
[03:30] <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)"
[03:31] <evilduanedesign> with the quotes
[03:31] <evilduanedesign> then run the command:   sudo update-grub
[03:35] <jdilla> leave the 0 or delete it?
[03:38] <jdilla> i think that totally worked you are so sick at this shit you ROX

[12:34] <evilduanedesign> morning all
[12:35] <dj_ribale> gm
[12:42] <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
[12:43] <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
[12:44] <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
[12:45] <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
[12:46] <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
[12:47] <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
[12:48] <ray_> I un-installed wine 1.3 since then
[12:48] <bioterror> you can define those things in fstab
[12:50] <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
[12:51] <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
[12:52] <MrChrisDruif> Your welcome ray_ :)
[12:54] <ray_> hmm, that rebooted my computer, but there was no filesystem check
[13:18] <evilduanedesign> ok

[16:59] <s-fox> johnny77,  What is the complete file name?
[17:02] <s-fox> Additional :- Do you wish to rename the file so it no longer has the ( in the name or do you mean delete the entire file ?

[23:07] <bhe> I am looking for help getting my sound card working. It's the last hurdle I have remaining.
[23:09] <MrChrisDruif> bhe: What did you try already? It wouldn't help if we suggest things you already tried :)
[23:10] <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 :)
[23:11] <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
[23:12] <MrChrisDruif> bhe: aplay, yes
[23:13] <bhe> so simply invoking aplay, without params should stream sound?
[23:15] <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
[23:16] <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
[23:17] <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
[23:18] <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
[23:20] <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
[23:21] <szczur> bhe, check alsamixer if there's Master or PCM muted
[23:21] <szczur> alsamixer is working, right?
[23:23] <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
[23:24] <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
[23:25] <bhe> likewise for master
[23:25] <szczur> :/
[23:26] <bhe> first i need to establish a test case to prove it's not working.
[23:28] <bhe> should i try oss
[23:33] <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
[23:34] <bhe> szcur: know of a lightweight Media Player?
[23:35] <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
[23:36] <trinikrono> lots of stuff to try in there
[23:37] <bhe> thx trini, I guess i failed to mention im using xfce4 not gnome. much of the gui stuff doesn't translate to me
[23:44] <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
[23:46] <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.
[23:48] <johnny77> xyclo: how many computers are connected?
[23:48] <bhe> trinikrono: still no luck, not giving up yet.
[23:49] <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
[23:50] <xyclo> just 1
[23:50] <xyclo> johnny77, just 1
[23:51] <trinikrono> bhe: can you try to hook up the normal speakers
[23:51] <trinikrono> and then you try the usb headset thing after
[23:52] <bhe> no speakers to try :(
[23:52] <johnny77> xyclo: are you then connected directly to the cable modem?
[23:52] <bhe> but I think I need to switch the priority or the sounds cards.
[23:53] <trinikrono> bhe: those usb headsets are very different
[23:53] <trinikrono> cant you at least find a normal headset?
[23:53] <xyclo> now through wifi
[23:54] <xyclo> It used to work and I know how to do it for the most part, johnny77
[23:54] <xyclo> But I do not know firewalls, ports, those kkinds of things
[23:54] <johnny77> xyclo: I'm just trying to get an understanding of your setup to see if I can help you.
[23:56] <johnny77> xyclo: do you have a router or is your modem wireless? I'm just wondering if other have "borrowed" your wireless.
[23:56] <xyclo> johnny77, no problem, I also want to explain :)
[23:57] <xyclo> modem-router combo.
[23:57] <xyclo> I recently changed the password
