=== [47] is now known as collinp [04:17] is ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 3 the latest? [04:18] mahgiaz47: I believe so. The latest testing version, anyway. The latest stable is 10.10. [04:20] ya i accidently upgraded, and quite honestly some features are great but others are not that good [04:21] mahgiaz47: How did you accidentally upgrade to 11.04? It's not in the normal upgrade path yet. [04:22] through terminal, it wasnt actually accidentally but i was just a little curious, then i just ended up upgrading [04:23] "upgrade-manager -d" in terminal [04:43] 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 [04:44] i usually try aptitude in that scenario [04:44] holstein: me too... forgot :p (got to go install it then :D) [05:56] does anyone here use tonido? [05:58] Tue13:51* has anyone else tried setting up ssh server? [05:58] did you install it? [05:58] i have ssh server set up [05:58] as well as tonido [06:04] bioterror: the problem i was having was the the dsl modem at home goes through a VoIP adaptor and then to a router [06:05] bioterror: so the port forwarding was bit tricky === reedy is now known as reed === reed is now known as reedyy [06:41] Hi [06:43] having trouble with Ubuntu install,installs fine but when it boots I get the terminal screen asking for my username and login..I log in but then my screen goes black and laptop does nothing :( [06:44] dual boot on a toshiba laptop,win 7 and ubuntu 10.10 [06:47] problems with X [06:48] check what you have in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [06:49] if you can enter another virtual console by pressing ctrl alt and f2 [07:06] hi all - anybody got any special knowledge about cd/dvd drives [07:06] ? [07:10] does anyone know anything about the asus g50 oled daemon? [07:39] I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10, and now I can't get my mic working, or headphone jack to work [07:40] I've gone through the comprehensive sound guide in the forums, but that didn't help [07:43] yax51: What type of mic/headphone? [07:43] USB or regular plug in [07:44] internal mic, regular headphone jack [07:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/577716/ [07:45] I think it might be the drivers, my card is actually a Realtek [07:45] Good man for using pastebin! [07:45] :D [07:46] Hmm [07:46] I can do some quick research [07:46] this isn;t my first rodeo :p [07:46] Ah ok [07:46] 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 [07:47] Oh ok [07:52] 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] Thanks, Tinka. It worked for me on Asus g50vt-x6 [07:52] I found this in the forums....going to try a reboot [07:53] this does look familiar.... [07:53] Great [07:58] SWEET!!! [07:58] ok got that going and the mic too [07:59] however with the mic, I can only control it via alsamixer, not in sound preferences at all [08:02] Argh [08:02] That sucks [08:03] 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] :) [08:10] yay! got it!! [08:10] it WAS the model! [08:16] yax51: Awesome [08:16] yax51: Lol, not many people come here and then solve their own issues :D [08:16] yax51: Maybe you should right a doc on it or improve existing docs [08:18] 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] Indeed [08:18] I find that helps...indeed it does. [08:18] zkriesse: mayeb I should just post a new thread on the forums.....or is there another way I should go about doing it [08:19] Forums would be ideal [08:19] Under the How-To section for sure [08:28] yay my first thread!!

[08:44] I just wish there was something like that for windows [08:48] * brandin just installed Redshift [08:48] can really see just how bad these TN panels are with this. [08:49] much better on the eyes tho. [12:59] I got a some what dumb question [13:00] no dumb questions, only answers [13:00] :) [13:00] Is there a google free search engine [13:00] I mean [13:00] that searches for things that are only free [13:00] Never mind [13:01] I will ask a different question [13:01] I am a drummer [13:01] and I am looking for free drum samples [13:02] there are google search sites that search Ubuntu related stuff [13:02] specifically roto tom samples in wave or what ever format like mp3 ogg whatever can be played through a music player [13:02] ohh, you are looking for free (non software) stuff [13:02] Right [13:02] I looked and looked [13:03] it says it's free but then I don't find what I am looking for that it says it has [13:03] like that bing commercial [13:03] anyways I really really like google [13:03] I don't use Bing [13:04] Bing = Microsoft [13:04] Microsoft = scammers, lol [13:04] he he [13:04] http://duckduckgo.com/ ? [13:04] I will check it out [13:06] Part of the problem is I should be limiting what the search is so "free drum samples -loops -tracks" and so forth [13:08] ray_: how about http://soundcloud.com/ ? [13:10] 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 [13:11] it had drum tracks [13:11] I should try gluing the head back ti itself separate from the hoop of coarse [13:12] I have a garbage mic though [13:12] computer mic [13:17] hmm, maybe I should shoot for rack tom samples [13:20] I was going to post this though I know you guys must know of it: [13:20] http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&q=&btnG=Search [13:23] I found this: [13:23] http://www.dooleydrums.com/free_drum_samples.php [13:23] I am going to try it [13:23] nope, I can't no credit card [13:24] well I am going to just go, thank you guys for trying [13:24] bye [13:24] o/ [13:27] http://www.findsounds.com/ [13:27] http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=993&bih=543&q=search+engines&btnG=Google+Search#sclient=psy&hl=en&biw=993&bih=543&q=free+audio+sample+search+engines&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.&fp=eda1291fdd569703 [13:28] That's basically what I was looking for [13:28] bye [13:50] Hey!

[14:02] http://media.techeblog.com/images/ubuntulinux.jpg [14:02] and round cube [14:02] I found compiz fusion to be too much of a resource hog so I stopped usingit [14:02] i just managed to get mine to turn fullscreen [14:02] horrible compiz cube [14:03] I've never seen the benefit of that [14:03] except it looks cool in the eyes of 14 year old kid [14:03] haha true [14:03] you spin it around two itmes and ditch it [14:04] still I like to play around with everything I can possibly play with :p [14:04] Ya, I can control which workspace I am in without compiz [14:04] how [14:04] howeve [14:04] I have better use for my graphics card ;) [14:05] 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] I dont atm :/ [14:05] I agree bioterror [14:05] :) [14:06] I can get twin view without it and don't need independent screens, and there are workspaces for that if needed anyway [14:07] Themes [14:12] I am looking for an icon theme like the brave blue theme for splash, this is a wallpaper which looks like it: [14:12] http://imagebin.org/141968 [14:14] oops I meant GDM theme [14:16] I guess it's not on gnome look anymore [14:16] I still have a copy [14:17] bye [14:17] I need to chill [14:18] o/ [14:45] I have a problem with grub. it is loading a grub file I can not find any where [14:47] what [14:47] 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 [14:48] I'm not following [14:48] Sorry [14:48] My problem is the grub loader [14:49] have u failed on grub loading [14:49] jsk_: [14:50] No, the system boot from a grub file I can not find to edit [14:50] are you doing it from root [14:51] No. I can not get root privilege [14:51] then you can't edit it [14:52] u should be root ....
