| mahgiaz47 | is ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 3 the latest? | 04:17 |
|---|---|---|
| aveilleux | mahgiaz47: I believe so. The latest testing version, anyway. The latest stable is 10.10. | 04:18 |
| mahgiaz47 | ya i accidently upgraded, and quite honestly some features are great but others are not that good | 04:20 |
| aveilleux | mahgiaz47: How did you accidentally upgrade to 11.04? It's not in the normal upgrade path yet. | 04:21 |
| mahgiaz47 | through terminal, it wasnt actually accidentally but i was just a little curious, then i just ended up upgrading | 04:22 |
| mahgiaz47 | "upgrade-manager -d" in terminal | 04:23 |
| nlsthzn | I seem unable to force apt-get to install packages it is saying it is holding back... I read the man page but none of the switches seem to do the trick | 04:43 |
| holstein | i usually try aptitude in that scenario | 04:44 |
| nlsthzn | holstein: me too... forgot :p (got to go install it then :D) | 04:44 |

| halpbatman | bioterror: the problem i was having was the the dsl modem at home goes through a VoIP adaptor and then to a router | 06:04 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: so the port forwarding was bit tricky | 06:05 |

| yax51 | does anyone know anything about the asus g50 oled daemon? | 07:10 |
| yax51 | I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10, and now I can't get my mic working, or headphone jack to work | 07:39 |
| yax51 | I've gone through the comprehensive sound guide in the forums, but that didn't help | 07:40 |
| zkriesse | yax51: What type of mic/headphone? | 07:43 |
| zkriesse | USB or regular plug in | 07:43 |
| yax51 | internal mic, regular headphone jack | 07:44 |
| yax51 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/577716/ | 07:45 |
| yax51 | I think it might be the drivers, my card is actually a Realtek | 07:45 |
| zkriesse | Good man for using pastebin! | 07:45 |
| zkriesse | :D | 07:45 |
| zkriesse | Hmm | 07:46 |
| zkriesse | I can do some quick research | 07:46 |
| yax51 | this isn;t my first rodeo :p | 07:46 |
| zkriesse | Ah ok | 07:46 |
| yax51 | I've actually just re-installed it, I had all of it working at one point, but cant remember how I did, it was a long time ago | 07:46 |
| zkriesse | Oh ok | 07:47 |
| yax51 | zkriesse: I ended up putting the line "options snd-hda-intel model=g71v" in the file "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf" and rebooting. This got my headphone jack working properly on my Asus g50vt-x5. Good luck! | 07:52 |
| yax51 | Thanks, Tinka. It worked for me on Asus g50vt-x6 | 07:52 |
| yax51 | I found this in the forums....going to try a reboot | 07:52 |
| yax51 | this does look familiar.... | 07:53 |
| zkriesse | Great | 07:53 |
| yax51 | SWEET!!! | 07:58 |
| yax51 | ok got that going and the mic too | 07:58 |
| yax51 | however with the mic, I can only control it via alsamixer, not in sound preferences at all | 07:59 |
| zkriesse | Argh | 08:02 |
| zkriesse | That sucks | 08:02 |
| yax51 | yeah, might need to tweak it a little, but I remember it was really easy, almost too easy, and I know it had to do with the model.... | 08:03 |
| zkriesse | :) | 08:03 |
| yax51 | yay! got it!! | 08:10 |
| yax51 | it WAS the model! | 08:10 |
| zkriesse | yax51: Awesome | 08:16 |
| zkriesse | yax51: Lol, not many people come here and then solve their own issues :D | 08:16 |
| zkriesse | yax51: Maybe you should right a doc on it or improve existing docs | 08:16 |
| yax51 | zkriesse: I know right, but I find just giving voice to the question, and usuing others as a sounding board helps to to look at the problem differently | 08:18 |
| zkriesse | Indeed | 08:18 |
| zkriesse | I find that helps...indeed it does. | 08:18 |
| yax51 | zkriesse: mayeb I should just post a new thread on the forums.....or is there another way I should go about doing it | 08:18 |
| zkriesse | Forums would be ideal | 08:19 |
| zkriesse | Under the How-To section for sure | 08:19 |
| yax51 | yay my first thread!! | 08:28 |

| ray_ | I got a some what dumb question | 12:59 |
| duanedesign | no dumb questions, only answers | 13:00 |
| duanedesign | :) | 13:00 |
| ray_ | Is there a google free search engine | 13:00 |
| ray_ | I mean | 13:00 |
| ray_ | that searches for things that are only free | 13:00 |
| ray_ | Never mind | 13:00 |
| ray_ | I will ask a different question | 13:01 |
| ray_ | I am a drummer | 13:01 |
| ray_ | and I am looking for free drum samples | 13:01 |
| duanedesign | there are google search sites that search Ubuntu related stuff | 13:02 |
| ray_ | specifically roto tom samples in wave or what ever format like mp3 ogg whatever can be played through a music player | 13:02 |
| duanedesign | ohh, you are looking for free (non software) stuff | 13:02 |
| ray_ | Right | 13:02 |
| ray_ | I looked and looked | 13:02 |
| ray_ | it says it's free but then I don't find what I am looking for that it says it has | 13:03 |
| ray_ | like that bing commercial | 13:03 |
| ray_ | anyways I really really like google | 13:03 |
| ray_ | I don't use Bing | 13:03 |
| ray_ | Bing = Microsoft | 13:04 |
| ray_ | Microsoft = scammers, lol | 13:04 |
| ray_ | he he | 13:04 |
| JoeMaverickSett | http://duckduckgo.com/ ? | 13:04 |
| ray_ | I will check it out | 13:04 |
| ray_ | Part of the problem is I should be limiting what the search is so "free drum samples -loops -tracks" and so forth | 13:06 |
| JoeMaverickSett | ray_: how about http://soundcloud.com/ ? | 13:08 |
| ray_ | Dang, at this point maybe I should just try to create my own roto tom drum samples. I have roto toms but the middle toms head broke apart from the hoop | 13:10 |
| ray_ | it had drum tracks | 13:11 |
| ray_ | I should try gluing the head back ti itself separate from the hoop of coarse | 13:11 |
| ray_ | I have a garbage mic though | 13:12 |
| ray_ | computer mic | 13:12 |
| ray_ | hmm, maybe I should shoot for rack tom samples | 13:17 |
| ray_ | I was going to post this though I know you guys must know of it: | 13:20 |
| ray_ | http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&q=&btnG=Search | 13:20 |
| ray_ | I found this: | 13:23 |
| ray_ | http://www.dooleydrums.com/free_drum_samples.php | 13:23 |
| ray_ | I am going to try it | 13:23 |
| ray_ | nope, I can't no credit card | 13:23 |
| ray_ | well I am going to just go, thank you guys for trying | 13:24 |

| KinkyPinkie | Hey! I just chaged desktoptheme, and the minimize/maximize/close buttons on the windows now apear on the upper right hand side. is it any way I can hack the code to move them back, but keep the rest of the theme? | 13:50 |
| ray_ | I am not sure, I was looking for how to move them to the right: | 13:52 |
| ray_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/config-desktop/C/window-button-order.html | 13:53 |
| ray_ | however, I like clearlooks so it didn't matter to me in the end but I understand | 13:53 |
| KinkyPinkie | thank you :) | 13:54 |
| ray_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1617977 | 13:54 |
| ray_ | no problem | 13:55 |
| KinkyPinkie | I heard that in future versions they are going to make app-panel in the top right corner, so I woulnt want to get used to having them there again :p | 13:55 |
| ray_ | I want more features for themes | 13:55 |
| ray_ | I want to change the purple to black | 13:56 |
| ray_ | with white as the Ubuntu and the Ubuntu logo | 13:56 |
| KinkyPinkie | yea | 13:56 |
| ray_ | or have the ability with ease to be able to change it to any color like blue or slightly darker blue or some color | 13:57 |
| KinkyPinkie | i got this theme today http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?action=content&content=87004 apart from messing up sytaxhilighting in eclipse i totally love it | 13:57 |
| ray_ | gloss whould be a nice added feature for any color any kind of theme | 13:57 |
| ray_ | With icon themes I just drag and drop them into themes under apprearance | 13:58 |
| KinkyPinkie | mm | 13:58 |
| ray_ | I didn't know this but in order to get Emerald themes to work I had to have compiz fusion | 13:59 |
| ray_ | just sharing some info | 13:59 |
| ray_ | It makes installing icon themes a breeze, in fact I don't know how to install icon themes otherwise | 14:00 |
| KinkyPinkie | compizfuison looks a bit facier than what i managed to do with compizconfig (source google pictures) am I right? | 14:01 |
| ray_ | what does facier mean? | 14:01 |
| KinkyPinkie | http://media.techeblog.com/images/ubuntulinux.jpg | 14:02 |
| KinkyPinkie | and round cube | 14:02 |
| ray_ | I found compiz fusion to be too much of a resource hog so I stopped usingit | 14:02 |
| KinkyPinkie | i just managed to get mine to turn fullscreen | 14:02 |
| bioterror | horrible compiz cube | 14:02 |
| bioterror | I've never seen the benefit of that | 14:03 |
| bioterror | except it looks cool in the eyes of 14 year old kid | 14:03 |
| KinkyPinkie | haha true | 14:03 |
| bioterror | you spin it around two itmes and ditch it | 14:03 |
| KinkyPinkie | still I like to play around with everything I can possibly play with :p | 14:04 |
| ray_ | Ya, I can control which workspace I am in without compiz | 14:04 |
| ray_ | how | 14:04 |
| ray_ | howeve | 14:04 |
| bioterror | I have better use for my graphics card ;) | 14:04 |
| ray_ | I used compiz fusion to display a movie on my TV screen through an s-video cord and a video game on my monitor | 14:05 |
| KinkyPinkie | I dont atm :/ | 14:05 |
| ray_ | I agree bioterror | 14:05 |
| ray_ | :) | 14:05 |
| ray_ | I can get twin view without it and don't need independent screens, and there are workspaces for that if needed anyway | 14:06 |
| ray_ | Themes | 14:07 |
| ray_ | I am looking for an icon theme like the brave blue theme for splash, this is a wallpaper which looks like it: | 14:12 |
| ray_ | http://imagebin.org/141968 | 14:12 |

| jsk_ | I have a problem with grub. it is loading a grub file I can not find any where | 14:45 |
| bioterror | what | 14:47 |
| jsk_ | I have tried grubedit but that edits a grub file but when I reboot the system boot on to the grub I can not find | 14:47 |
| bioterror | I'm not following | 14:48 |
| jsk_ | Sorry | 14:48 |
| jsk_ | My problem is the grub loader | 14:48 |
| raju | have u failed on grub loading | 14:49 |
| raju | jsk_: | 14:49 |
| jsk_ | No, the system boot from a grub file I can not find to edit | 14:50 |
| raju | are you doing it from root | 14:50 |
| jsk_ | No. I can not get root privilege | 14:51 |
| raju | then you can't edit it | 14:51 |
| raju | u should be root .... | 14:52 |
| jsk_ | I am using Grubedit | 14:52 |
| jsk_ | Grugedit finds a grub file and edits it but it is not the grub file the system is using | 14:53 |
| raju | jsk_: http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2007/05/ubuntu-how-to-edit-grub-boot-parameters.html | 14:53 |
| jsk_ | Thanks I will give it a try now | 14:54 |
| szczur | menu.lst is no longer in use since ubuntu 9.10 . The correct path will be /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 14:58 |
| jsk_ | so I need to edit grub.cfg ? | 14:58 |
| raju | szczur: but we need to be root | 14:59 |
| raju | jsk_: Yes | 14:59 |
| szczur | yes, he needs to be root | 14:59 |
| jsk_ | can I use gksudo | 14:59 |
| raju | szczur: but he have not root privis | 15:00 |
| szczur | sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg should give him one | 15:00 |
| raju | no root privil's | 15:00 |
| jsk_ | I will try now and come back to you. | 15:01 |
| raju | jsk_: u should be root | 15:01 |
| szczur | you can become root with sudo su | 15:01 |
| szczur | then he can edit anything | 15:01 |
| bioterror | szczur, I would suggest just sudo | 15:03 |
| raju | szczur: | 15:03 |
| raju | - jsk_, 20:21 - | 15:03 |
| raju | No. I can not get root privilege | 15:03 |
| bioterror | !sudo | jsk_ | 15:03 |
| ubot2 | jsk_: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 15:03 |
| jsk_ | I have looked at Grub.cfg and it said do not edit this file? | 15:05 |
| bioterror | unless you know what you're editing | 15:06 |
| bioterror | can you tell us what you're trying to do | 15:06 |
| raju | jsk_: its for security | 15:06 |
| raju | jsk_: what you wanna fo ? | 15:07 |
| bioterror | grub is something not to mess with, becouse then you come where complaining you cant access your ubuntu :D | 15:07 |

| jsk_ | OU = Open University | 15:11 |
| bioterror | are you trying to say that you want to boot to windows? | 15:11 |
| jsk_ | yes | 15:12 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get install os-prober | 15:12 |
| bioterror | sudo os-prober | 15:12 |
| bioterror | sudo grub-update | 15:12 |

| johnny77 | jsk_: What apps are you having trouble with? | 15:38 |
| jsk_ | johnny77_ the main one is the K8055 board | 15:39 |
| johnny77 | jsk_: I'm not familiar with that applcation. What does it do? | 15:40 |
| jsk_ | johnny77_ it is an experiment board for connecting the computer to the out side world | 15:42 |
| jsk_ | I am using it for a MIDI controller | 15:43 |
| jsk_ | If I could controll it with Gambas as I do with Visual Studio on windows that would make my world complete. | 15:44 |
| johnny77 | jsk_: I'm not sure what you've tried and honestly, I'me not sure how much I can help you. I did find this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1660136 | 15:46 |

| yax51 | I am trying to install nvclock, and when I go through the installation process it says that it needs xext | 22:49 |
| yax51 | so I go to synaptic and search for xext and it finds x11proto-xext-dev so I installed that | 22:50 |
| yax51 | but when I go back to the installation it still says that xext is missing | 22:51 |
| yax51 | am I missing a step here somewhere to install xext? | 22:51 |
| johnny77 | yax51: how are you installing nvclock? | 22:53 |
| yax51 | johnny77: according to the install doc, running autogen.sh, then configure | 22:54 |
| johnny77 | yax51: I just tried to install nvclock and it installed with no problem and not requiring anything else. What install doc are you refering to? | 22:56 |
| yax51 | but when I get to the configure portion its checking for xext and I get the error message "xext required for nvcontrol support" | 22:56 |
| yax51 | install | 22:57 |
| yax51 | the basic installation directions | 22:57 |
| yax51 | would you be able to walk me through what you did? maybe I am doing something wrong | 22:58 |
| johnny77 | I'm not sure where you are getting the install directions. But I just typed in the terminal sudo apt-get install nvclock | 22:59 |
