| kerneloops_ | audio problem | 00:06 |
| kerneloops_ | im trying to play a file but no sound | 00:07 |
| kristian_ | hi kerneloops_ | 00:09 |
| kristian_ | aplay -l | 00:09 |
| kristian_ | wait | 00:09 |
| kristian_ | start by opening a terminal, then type alsamixer | 00:10 |
| kerneloops_ | yes i tried those | 00:11 |
| kerneloops_ | and unmute | 00:11 |
| kerneloops_ | It has so many channels | 00:12 |
| kerneloops_ | │ Chip: C-Media Electronics CMI9738,0x800f800f P | 00:12 |
| kristian_ | onboard? | 00:14 |
| kerneloops_ | yes | 00:14 |
| kristian_ | I think I have that, acutally... always worked without a hitch | 00:14 |
| kristian_ | do you have another sound card? | 00:14 |
| kerneloops_ | no | 00:14 |
| kerneloops_ | kristian_: it's an old computer | 00:15 |
| kerneloops_ | i got it working in xubuntu but i had to unmute something using sound preferences | 00:15 |
| kerneloops_ | now im trying to make sound work in ubuntu server | 00:15 |
| kerneloops_ | to play music with nyxmms2 | 00:15 |
| kristian_ | kerneloops_, I know it's old if we have the same onboard sound ;) | 00:15 |
| kerneloops_ | xD | 00:16 |
| kerneloops_ | kristian_: some stuff is muted in alsamixer | 00:16 |
| kristian_ | try unmuting it? | 00:16 |
| kerneloops_ | 00:01.4 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS PCI Audio Accelerator (rev 02) | 00:16 |
| kerneloops_ | kristian_: they are many channels | 00:21 |
| kristian_ | hurm | 00:22 |
| kristian_ | try googling the id of the unit | 00:22 |
| kerneloops_ | what is that | 00:22 |
| kristian_ | a unique id that it has, something like x123:y123 | 00:23 |
| kerneloops_ | Current setup | 00:23 |
| kerneloops_ | Mic gain : +0dB [+0dB] | 00:23 |
| kerneloops_ | POP path : pre 3D | 00:23 |

| kristian_ | hurm | 00:27 |
| kerneloops_ | hurm | 00:28 |
| kerneloops_ | doesnt help :( | 00:28 |
| kerneloops_ | snd_ac97_codec | 00:30 |
| ibuclaw | kerneloops_, generic sound driver. :> | 00:33 |
| kristian_ | kerneloops_, try unmuting everything and turn everything up | 00:34 |
| kerneloops_ | ibuclaw: huh? | 00:34 |
| kerneloops_ | :p | 00:34 |
| kristian_ | (the blind leading the blind, I'm afraid) | 00:34 |
| ibuclaw | or in your case, the mute leading the mute | 00:34 |
| kerneloops_ | :s | 00:35 |
| kerneloops_ | kerneloops_: install pulseaudio | 00:36 |
| kerneloops_ | ActionParsnip said | 00:36 |
| kerneloops_ | :p | 00:36 |
| ibuclaw | ActionParsnip would say that. | 00:37 |
| kerneloops_ | lol | 00:38 |
| ibuclaw | kerneloops_, #ubuntu? | 00:38 |
| kerneloops_ | yes | 00:38 |
| kerneloops_ | server | 00:38 |
| kerneloops_ | too | 00:38 |
| ibuclaw | I actually won a bet on that channel once. | 00:39 |
| ibuclaw | ask bodhi_zazen :> | 00:39 |
| dollarbang | Is there a trick to getting a Logitech PS/2 wheel mouse (wheel) to work? Mouse movement and left/right click are functional, but the wheel isn't. | 00:41 |
| kerneloops_ | im getting frustrated | 00:41 |
| kerneloops_ | oh yea | 00:41 |
| kristian_ | kerneloops_, I'm sorry but I'm super tired and my alsa skills never went beyond "mess around till it works" | 00:42 |
| kerneloops_ | reading http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 | 00:42 |
| jhanafrog | i've had problems with audio, i never got to a point where i could distil the problem down between driver module, alsa, or pulseaudio | 00:49 |
| jhanafrog | oh yeah, and gstreamer | 00:49 |
| jhanafrog | i remember having some interesting effects though, where audio output would work in chromium, but would work in gstreamer, unless i killed pulseaudio and restarted, but this was in karmic, audio issues have been solved pretty much in maverick | 00:50 |
| kerneloops_ | .. | 00:50 |
| jhanafrog | what ver. of ubuntu are you using kerneloops_? | 00:52 |
| kerneloops_ | 10.10 | 00:52 |
| kerneloops_ | server | 00:52 |
| kerneloops_ | 32bit | 00:52 |
| jhanafrog | that's interesting, never tried getting sound to work on 10.10 server | 00:53 |
| kerneloops_ | :P | 00:53 |
| jhanafrog | i can only assume all the necessary packages for audio are installed by default | 00:53 |
| kerneloops_ | alsa-utils are not | 00:53 |
| kerneloops_ | pulseaudio neither | 00:54 |
| jhanafrog | i don't know what packages are necessary for audio. | 00:54 |
| jhanafrog | i mean, sure alsa-utils and pulseaudio, but is that all? | 00:55 |
| jhanafrog | do you need to install gstreamer? | 00:55 |
| jhanafrog | does the driver module get loaded with alsa-utils? | 00:55 |
| jhanafrog | google says "huh?" :| | 00:56 |
| jhanafrog | maybe make a liveusb of desktop, and see if that works :) | 00:57 |
| kerneloops_ | jhanafrog: i tried in xubuntu it works. | 00:58 |
| kerneloops_ | :x | 00:58 |
| jhanafrog | before i ask anything else, i have to ask, what do you need audio support for on a server, anyway? | 00:58 |
| kerneloops_ | I want to play music | 01:00 |
| kerneloops_ | ;) | 01:00 |
| jhanafrog | is it a media server? | 01:00 |
| kerneloops_ | no | 01:01 |
| kerneloops_ | it's too slow | 01:02 |
| kerneloops_ | but plays music :) | 01:02 |
| kerneloops_ | I remember that i unmuted something in xubuntu | 01:02 |
| kerneloops_ | now I did the same in alsamixer | 01:02 |
| kerneloops_ | didnt work | 01:02 |
| kerneloops_ | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1172535/groove.ogg | 01:03 |
| kerneloops_ | im playing it with nyxmms2 | 01:03 |
| jhanafrog | i thought you unmuted with alsamixer already | 01:03 |
| jhanafrog | good to know | 01:03 |
| jhanafrog | maybe try sudo apt-get install gstreamer | 01:03 |
| kerneloops_ | I need to sudo alsamixer | 01:04 |
| kerneloops_ | via SSH | 01:04 |
| kerneloops_ | is it normal? | 01:04 |
| jhanafrog | i don't understand your question | 01:05 |
| kerneloops_ | .. | 01:05 |
| kerneloops_ | im configuring it | 01:05 |
| kerneloops_ | via SSH server | 01:05 |
| jhanafrog | is what normal? | 01:05 |
| kerneloops_ | need to use sudo | 01:05 |
| jhanafrog | that shouldn't matter | 01:05 |
| kerneloops_ | to run alsamixer.. | 01:05 |
| jhanafrog | that's strange | 01:05 |
| holstein | you shouldnt need sudo | 01:06 |
| jhanafrog | it doesn't run otherwise? it says you need sudo privileges to run? | 01:06 |
| kerneloops_ | cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 01:06 |
| kerneloops_ | even with /usr/bin/alsamixer | 01:06 |
| holstein | kerneloops_: alsamixer | 01:06 |
| kerneloops_ | hm? | 01:06 |
| holstein | i thought maybe you had typed mixer in | 01:07 |
| kerneloops_ | lool | 01:07 |
| kerneloops_ | gimme ur weed | 01:07 |
| holstein | hey, ur the one with the superuser audio ;) | 01:08 |
| kerneloops_ | lol | 01:08 |
| jhanafrog | give me your meditation | 01:08 |
| kerneloops_ | r u telling me normal user cant access audio? | 01:08 |
| holstein | no | 01:08 |
| jhanafrog | on my system i can do it with normal user | 01:08 |
| holstein | im saying you shouldnt have to run sudo alsamixer | 01:08 |
| jhanafrog | maybe there's a security bug in alsa-utils | 01:09 |
| jhanafrog | for server | 01:09 |
| holstein | interestingly | 01:09 |
| holstein | i dont have alsamixer on my server | 01:09 |
| kerneloops_ | im sshing from gnome terminal | 01:09 |
| holstein | i just dropped out of screen | 01:09 |
| holstein | and tried alsamixer | 01:09 |
| holstein | and i dont have it | 01:09 |
| holstein | didnt try sudo alsamixer | 01:09 |
| jhanafrog | you're supposed to have alsamixer on your server? | 01:09 |
| holstein | jhanafrog: if kerneloops_ wants to contol the audio level | 01:10 |
| holstein | on a server install | 01:10 |
| holstein | i thought that would be a goog way to go about it | 01:10 |
| holstein | good* | 01:10 |
| jhanafrog | i'm pretty sure alsamixer is not included by default on 10.10 server | 01:10 |
| kerneloops_ | jhanafrog: i installed it | 01:10 |
| holstein | jhanafrog: agreed | 01:10 |
| jhanafrog | kerneloops_: right, and then you need sudo to run alsamixer. i think you should ask in #ubuntu-security | 01:11 |
| jhanafrog | not sure why that's happening | 01:11 |
| jhanafrog | i know on desktop i don't need sudo | 01:11 |
| holstein | kerneloops_: probably some configuring you need to do | 01:12 |
| jhanafrog | maybe you need to chown alsamixer or something | 01:12 |
| holstein | since, usually, servers dont need audio | 01:12 |
| kerneloops_ | audio:x:29:pulse | 01:12 |
| holstein | yeah, could be user privs | 01:12 |
| jhanafrog | that means nothing to me | 01:12 |
| holstein | wont hurt to try sudo playing something | 01:12 |
| kerneloops_ | yeah | 01:13 |
| jhanafrog | well, since nobody else is asking, i'll ask in #ubuntu-security | 01:13 |
| kerneloops_ | hm | 01:13 |
| kerneloops_ | ei yofel | 01:16 |
| kerneloops_ | ok now i can run alsamixer with my user | 01:17 |
| kerneloops_ | sudo nano /etc/group | 01:17 |
| jhanafrog | chown? | 01:17 |
| kerneloops_ | and added to audio grou | 01:17 |
| kerneloops_ | p | 01:17 |
| jhanafrog | hmmm | 01:17 |
| jhanafrog | i wonder if i should write that down | 01:17 |
| jhanafrog | yep | 01:17 |
| kerneloops_ | yep? | 01:18 |
| jhanafrog | i was answering myself :) | 01:18 |
| kerneloops_ | what do you mean to write it down | 01:18 |
| kerneloops_ | lol | 01:18 |
| kerneloops_ | :D | 01:18 |
| jhanafrog | hahaha | 01:18 |
| jhanafrog | put it in a file for later reference | 01:18 |
| kerneloops_ | jhanafrog: just like I do :) | 01:18 |
| jhanafrog | we're wonder twins! | 01:18 |
| kerneloops_ | since I started using GNU Linux | 01:18 |
| kerneloops_ | lol | 01:19 |
| jhanafrog | yeah, same here. i probably should've put more into it | 01:19 |
| kerneloops_ | im gonna show you my alsamixer config | 01:19 |
| jhanafrog | did you install gstreamer? | 01:20 |
| kerneloops_ | no | 01:20 |
| holstein | i would probably | 01:20 |
| jhanafrog | i know that has been necessary for playing files in totem | 01:20 |
| jhanafrog | not sure if xmms or whatever your using needs it | 01:20 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:20 |
| jhanafrog | thanks holstein i didn't know that | 01:21 |
| holstein | lots of stuff in that package though* | 01:21 |
| holstein | depends on what the goal is i suppose | 01:21 |
| jhanafrog | i'm searching apt-cache for gstreamer | 01:21 |
| kerneloops_ | holstein: for playing mp3 files etc | 01:21 |
| holstein | maybe overkill for a server install | 01:21 |
| kerneloops_ | eh | 01:21 |
| holstein | you sould sudo apt-cache search fluendo | 01:22 |
| holstein | could* | 01:22 |
| holstein | they offer us a nice free mp3 codec :) | 01:22 |
| holstein | anyhow... BBL | 01:23 |
| kerneloops_ | take look at my alsamixer http://i56.tinypic.com/2rxzpdf.jpg http://i55.tinypic.com/2hptw1u.png | 01:23 |
| jhanafrog | well there's gstreamer0.10-alsa and gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio apparently | 01:23 |
| r4y | what's the name of the ubuntu channel that is off topic exactly? | 01:23 |
| kerneloops_ | #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:24 |
| r4y | thank you | 01:24 |
| kerneloops_ | :) | 01:24 |
| kerneloops_ | !ot | 01:24 |
| ubot2 | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 01:24 |
| r4y | that was simple | 01:24 |
| jhanafrog | that's...weird | 01:25 |
| jhanafrog | what's all the pcm stuff? | 01:25 |
| kerneloops_ | hehehe | 01:26 |
| kerneloops_ | no idea | 01:26 |
| kerneloops_ | 32 subdevices | 01:27 |
| kerneloops_ | WORKING SONG | 01:27 |
| kerneloops_ | SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING | 01:28 |
| kerneloops_ | it was permissions problem | 01:29 |
| kerneloops_ | i think | 01:29 |
| kerneloops_ | now im gonna remove pulseaudio lol | 01:29 |
| jhanafrog | kerneloops_: yay, it works! now i'll try to break it! :P | 01:39 |
| kerneloops_ | lol | 01:40 |
| kerneloops_ | jhanafrog: I already broke it | 01:40 |
| kerneloops_ | purged pulseaudio | 01:40 |
| kerneloops_ | x) | 01:40 |
| kristian_ | the lulz are on you, kerneloops_ ;) | 01:45 |
| kristian_ | glad you're making progress | 01:45 |
| kerneloops_ | lol | 01:46 |
| kerneloops_ | <charlesno> thanks ubottu, where are you from? | 01:47 |
| kerneloops_ | =D | 01:47 |
| r4y | does anyone remember me asking about how to get recordmydesktop to work on Ubuntu 10.04?, Well, I never mentioned that recordmydesktop worked with Ubuntu 8.04 | 01:47 |
| r4y | Dinner is ready, I will be back | 01:47 |
| kerneloops_ | How can I reset alsamixer settings? need to know | 01:49 |
| r4y | OK, I am done eating | 02:41 |
| r4y | With Ubuntu Hardy Heron recordmydesktop worked with jack and hydrogen drum machine | 02:41 |
| r4y | I am now using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and recordmydesktop and xvidcapture doesn't work | 02:42 |
| r4y | I am going to try something | 02:43 |
| kerneloops_ | hm | 02:43 |
| jhanafrog | sorry r4y, i got nothing | 02:44 |
| jhanafrog | i can't even get cheese to work with my webcam consistently | 02:44 |
| r4y | When I installed recordmydesktop it asked me if I wanted realtime which it didn't ask before with Hardy Heron | 02:45 |
| r4y | so | 02:45 |
| r4y | I am uninstalling it | 02:45 |
| r4y | and I am going to delete the files under home for recordmydesktop | 02:45 |
| r4y | then try again | 02:46 |
| jhanafrog | go fig | 02:46 |
| r4y | I should use synaptic package manager as well to completely un-install it, right? | 02:46 |
| jhanafrog | sudo apt-get purge package-name should do it | 02:46 |
| jhanafrog | but package manager should work as well | 02:47 |
| jhanafrog | sudo apt-get remove maybe sufficient for your purposes | 02:47 |
| r4y | OK, I will add that to my list of useful commands | 02:47 |
| jhanafrog | i can paste you mine if you want, r4y | 02:47 |
| r4y | Does your work then? | 02:48 |
| jhanafrog | my list of useful commands | 02:48 |
| r4y | Yes, pastebin it, that would be great | 02:50 |
| r4y | thank you | 02:50 |
| r4y | I should remove jack control as well guess | 02:51 |
| holstein | r4y: you need JACK? | 02:51 |
| holstein | there are changes with the RT setup | 02:52 |
| holstein | really, since JACK got promoted to the main repo | 02:52 |
| holstein | which is great | 02:52 |
| holstein | now we dont have to build packages from scratch with JACK support | 02:52 |
| holstein | which was often the case with hardy | 02:52 |
| holstein | drag... | 02:55 |
| r4y | what just happened? | 02:58 |
| holstein | netsplit | 02:58 |
| holstein | r4y: i have friends over in #opensourcemusicians | 02:59 |
| holstein | that use JACK and recordmydesktop | 02:59 |
| holstein | routinely | 02:59 |
| holstein | in 10.04 and 10.10 | 02:59 |
| r4y | OK | 02:59 |
| holstein | feel free and hop over there and ask :) | 02:59 |
| r4y | I am there now as well | 02:59 |
| holstein | i gotta run... | 02:59 |
| r4y | wait | 02:59 |
| r4y | >first I had to open jack control, then start it, then open the other 2 then open connect in jack control, then connect hydrogen drum machine, then open advanced in recordmydesktop and go to the far right tab I think and click on use jacked or something, then at the bottom hold down ctrl and click on all that is shown and close that window | 02:59 |
| r4y | that is what I posted before the netsplit | 03:00 |
| r4y | okm you can go if you want | 03:00 |
| r4y | sorry and thank you | 03:00 |
| holstein | r4y: no worries | 03:00 |
| holstein | the drivers are different | 03:00 |
| holstein | im sure its just a learing curve on the package changes | 03:00 |
| r4y | thank you for telling me | 03:00 |
| r4y | right, always something new | 03:01 |
| r4y | take care dude | 03:01 |
| holstein | :) | 03:01 |
| holstein | laterx | 03:01 |
| r4y | later | 03:01 |
| r4y | :) | 03:01 |

| kerneloops_ | what the hell | 03:18 |
| kerneloops_ | bye all | 04:53 |
| jhanafrog | =) | 05:16 |
| earthling_ | I'm trying to boot up an ubuntu live USB on a 2001 compaq desktop, won't recognize it on bootup, says "non system disk or disk error" | 05:16 |
| earthling_ | how do I get it to recognize it? | 05:16 |
| holstein | earthling_: sounds like maybe the hard drive is getting booted | 05:17 |
| holstein | and is bad | 05:17 |
| holstein | well, not bad* | 05:17 |
| earthling_ | oh, and it has no hard drive | 05:17 |
| holstein | hmmm | 05:17 |
| earthling_ | was thinking of using a usb as a hard drive | 05:17 |
| holstein | that seems like a message the bios would kick out | 05:17 |
| holstein | earthling_: if its that old | 05:17 |
| holstein | it probably doesnt boot USB | 05:18 |
| holstein | probably a work around for that though | 05:18 |
| earthling_ | I changed the boot order on bios to usb first | 05:18 |
| earthling_ | perhaps it has the capability then | 05:18 |
| holstein | earthling_: i would try booting a CD | 05:18 |
| holstein | maybe installing to the USB | 05:18 |
| holstein | and see if it boots | 05:18 |
| earthling_ | yeah, I had an old ubuntu 8 CD and it booted up | 05:19 |
| holstein | interesting | 05:19 |
| earthling_ | I kinda wanted the ability to save on usb though | 05:19 |
| holstein | earthling_: maybe format that stick | 05:19 |
| holstein | and make it again | 05:19 |
| holstein | with unetbootin or whatever | 05:19 |
| earthling_ | the usb worked on another computer | 05:20 |
| holstein | well, you're going to have to do something ;) | 05:20 |
| holstein | i mean | 05:20 |
| holstein | that leave the USB ports i suppose | 05:20 |
| earthling_ | maybe the usb has to be in FAT | 05:21 |
| earthling_ | or whatever the windows file format is | 05:21 |
| earthling_ | ? | 05:21 |
| holstein | thats typically what i use | 05:21 |
| holstein | with unetbootin | 05:21 |
| holstein | fat | 05:21 |
| earthling_ | I think I created the usb on that website with all the distros... | 05:22 |
| holstein | earthling_: unetbootin | 05:22 |
| holstein | thats the tool | 05:22 |
| holstein | theres a USB disk creator in ubuntu | 05:22 |
| holstein | but, i preffer unetbootin | 05:23 |
| earthling_ | will it make it in fat? | 05:23 |
| holstein | hows about i link you to it.. | 05:23 |
| earthling_ | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ | 05:23 |
| earthling_ | ? | 05:23 |
| holstein | http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 05:23 |
| earthling_ | ic | 05:23 |
| holstein | unetbootin is in the repos | 05:24 |
| holstein | i format befor using it | 05:24 |
| holstein | with gparted or whatever | 05:24 |
| earthling_ | downloading it | 05:25 |
| earthling_ | hmm | 05:37 |
| earthling_ | so it says it was fat32 | 05:38 |
| earthling_ | perhaps I should try fat16 | 05:38 |
| holstein | earthling_: why? | 05:40 |
| earthling_ | because its an old computer, but I see now fat16 is from before win95 | 05:41 |
| earthling_ | so fat32 should be good enough I think | 05:41 |
| holstein | FAT32 | 05:42 |
| earthling_ | how long does take it make the usb? | 05:42 |
| earthling_ | I was going to try xubuntu 10.04 | 05:42 |
| earthling_ | I didn't download ubuntu on this comp | 05:43 |
| earthling_ | already downloaded xubuntu | 05:43 |
| holstein | earthling_: you can let unetbooting DL whatever iso | 05:43 |
| holstein | OR you can point it to an ISO you alreay have DL'd | 05:43 |

| kristian-aalborg | okay, this is embarrasing | 10:50 |
| UndiFineD | people who blush are beautiful | 10:50 |
| kristian-aalborg | when I start a program from the command line and I don't want it to take over my terminal, the command I should use is...? | 10:50 |
| xardas008 | does it have a graphical user interface? | 10:51 |
| xardas008 | or is it a command line tool? | 10:51 |
| bioterror | kristian-aalborg, command& | 10:52 |
| kristian-aalborg | I use both kinds | 10:52 |
| bioterror | & means that it is left background | 10:52 |
| bioterror | to get back into that program, you have to type "fg" which means foreground | 10:52 |
| bioterror | same thing with irssi | 10:52 |
| bioterror | if you happen to press ctrl+z, it will be sent to background, and you can resume with "fg" -command | 10:53 |
| kristian-aalborg | right now, I'm going to start ncmpc | 10:53 |
| xardas008 | alternatly you can start a program using alt + f2 (works only with graphical user interfaces i think) | 10:55 |

| skrappjaw | Anyone here? I'm looking to start playing with SSH. Specifically, accessing a program on an X server. | 17:36 |
| skrappjaw | Remote x server rather. How ever that is properly said. | 17:36 |
| MrChrisDruif | I'm here....let's see your problem.. | 17:38 |

| kerneloops_ | it's possible to start X apps from SSH? | 17:55 |
| kerneloops_ | o.o | 17:55 |
| skrappjaw | back. | 17:56 |
| skrappjaw | I was at my ReLoco meeting and our organizer had brought up GNUcash over SSH | 17:56 |
| skrappjaw | like a remote X server | 17:56 |
| MrChrisDruif | M0hi :P | 17:56 |
| skrappjaw | she ran GNU cash on her home pc from her netbook | 17:56 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | MrChrisDruif, how are you? | 17:57 |
| skrappjaw | I figure that since I know how to run a Vbox I might be able to use that to test it out. | 17:58 |

| xardas008 | how can i remove the top panel of gnome? | 18:41 |
| stlsaint | xardas008: create a new one else where and then move/delete that one (i think) | 18:41 |
| xardas008 | but that would mean i will have another one, but i don't need the panels any more | 18:42 |
| M0hi | xardas008, any reasons to remove the panels? | 18:43 |
| xardas008 | I'm using avant-window-navigator, on that i have everything i need | 18:43 |
| stlsaint | xardas008: than delete the panel (though ensure you know how to get them back if you ever need them agai) | 18:44 |
| xardas008 | the option is grayed xD | 18:44 |
| xardas008 | that's the problem | 18:44 |
| M0hi | xardas008, the panel at the top has many features that you will use often. make sure that you got all in AWN | 18:45 |
| M0hi | awwe! | 18:45 |
| stlsaint | lol | 18:46 |
| stlsaint | they prolly jacked something up | 18:46 |
| M0hi | :P | 18:46 |
| M0hi | stlsaint, go and work. dont sit here and waste time :P | 18:46 |
| M0hi | I am going to sleep. night all | 18:47 |
| stlsaint | M0hi: hush you | 18:48 |
| M0hi | :D | 18:48 |
| charlie-tca | might have to go to classic-gnome to delete panels now. I don't know if they are removable in Unity | 18:48 |

| xardas008 | i'm not using unity | 18:49 |
| xardas008 | no netbook remix installed | 18:49 |
| MrChrisDruif | xardas008: unity is also in natty | 18:49 |
| xardas008 | i know but i don't install natty on my working machines | 18:50 |
| xardas008 | and i don't like that unity need 3d acceleration because i don't get 3d working in virtualbox | 18:50 |

| skeddy | Hello! Would this be the right place to get some help mounting an Ext2 partition? | 20:29 |
| charlie-tca | sure, what kind of help? | 20:30 |
| skeddy | Thanks :-) I've taken a drive out of a digital recorder, and I'm trying to mount it via an external USB case. But I'm getting the following error | 20:32 |
| skeddy | Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd3 | 20:32 |
| skeddy | Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd1 | 20:32 |
| skeddy | I can see the drive in the Disk Utility, that's how I know it's Ext2 | 20:33 |
| charlie-tca | It may not be readable by Ubuntu | 20:33 |
| skeddy | ahh ok | 20:33 |
| charlie-tca | You did create a mount point/directory somewhere to mount it to, right? | 20:33 |
| skeddy | No, I simply plugged it in, like I've done with an old Fat32 drive before | 20:33 |
| charlie-tca | it is just sudo mount /directory_created /dev/sdd3 | 20:34 |
| skeddy | ok, let me give that a bash | 20:34 |
| charlie-tca | if it is ext2, normally, it is read automatically. If need be, you can specify the file system with: | 20:34 |
| charlie-tca | sudo mount -t ext2 /direct_created /dev/sdd3 | 20:35 |
| ansh | where does opera 11 stores the cached video files in ubuntu 10.10?? | 20:35 |
| skeddy | Ok Charlie, I've tried this. Opened up terminal, and then "mkdir HELLO" (HELLO then created in my home directory) and then "sudo mount -t ext2 /direct_created /dev/sdd3" | 20:39 |
| skeddy | I'm getting "special device /HELLO does not exist" | 20:40 |
| charlie-tca | sorry, try this then: sudo mount -t ext2 /HELLO /dev/sdd3 | 20:40 |
| charlie-tca | no | 20:41 |
| charlie-tca | wrong again | 20:41 |
| MrChrisDruif | ansh: I don't know about Opera, but I read something about it on OMG...I'll take a quick looksy...btrb | 20:41 |
| MrChrisDruif | brb* | 20:41 |
| charlie-tca | sudo mount -t ext2 /home/skeddy/HELLO /dev/sdd3 but replace skeddy with your own user name on the computer | 20:42 |
| skeddy | cheers | 20:43 |
| skeddy | now: mount: /home/TheSkeds/HELLO is not a block device | 20:43 |
| skeddy | which makes me think it can't read the partition? | 20:44 |
| charlie-tca | try using /dev/sdd1 and see if it says the same thing | 20:44 |
| charlie-tca | but, yeah, I got a feeling it can't read it | 20:44 |
| skeddy | Yep - exactly the same message :-/ | 20:45 |
| MrChrisDruif | ansh: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/saving-flash-videos-in-linux-tmp-no-longer-works/ | 20:46 |
| charlie-tca | might be a hard disk gone bad, too | 20:47 |
| ansh | MrChrisDruif : thanks | 20:47 |
| skeddy | It could be. Like I said, I pulled it from my old digibox recorder (it was working in that) | 20:48 |
| skeddy | Just wanted to backup the last few programs that were on it | 20:48 |
| charlie-tca | You might try different file systems instead of ext2 | 20:48 |
| charlie-tca | ext3, ext4, fat32, fat16, ntfs are just a few | 20:48 |
| skeddy | Ok, I'll give that a try. Could Disk Utility be lying then, even though it says it's Ext2? | 20:50 |
| charlie-tca | yup, sometimes it uses ext2 to mean "I don't recognize this filesystem" | 20:50 |
| skeddy | Ahhh I see. Cheers | 20:53 |
| charlie-tca | Good luck | 20:53 |
| skeddy | thank you | 20:54 |
| MrChrisDruif | Good luck skeddy | 20:55 |

| panel_pixel | hello | 23:04 |
| panel_pixel | I am trying to hide panels but they still show a pixel... is there a fix for this? or can I use -1 value in metacity? | 23:04 |
| MrChrisDruif | panel_pixel: Hide or remove? | 23:04 |
| panel_pixel | MrChrisDruif: just hide | 23:05 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hmm...auto-hide not good enough? | 23:05 |
| panel_pixel | I even setup a shortcut for them | 23:05 |
| panel_pixel | no. | 23:05 |
| panel_pixel | thats why im asking :) | 23:05 |
| panel_pixel | im gonna try -1 value.. | 23:06 |
| panel_pixel | MrChrisDruif: /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel_screen0/auto_hide_size 0 | 23:07 |
| panel_pixel | looks the same as /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel_screen0/auto_hide_size 1 | 23:07 |
| panel_pixel | hm doesnt seem to work. | 23:09 |
| MrChrisDruif | Well...apparently the gnome-panel devs wanted to let everyone know their still there...not just crashed :) | 23:09 |
| panel_pixel | I heard KDE is better for this | 23:10 |
| MrChrisDruif | I don't know :) | 23:10 |
