[00:06] <kerneloops_> anyone to help me
[00:06] <kerneloops_> audio problem
[00:07] <kerneloops_> im trying to play a file but no sound
[00:09] <kristian_> hi kerneloops_
[00:09] <kristian_> aplay -l
[00:09] <kristian_> wait
[00:10] <kristian_> start by opening a terminal, then type alsamixer
[00:11] <kerneloops_> yes i tried those
[00:11] <kerneloops_> and unmute
[00:12] <kerneloops_> It has so many channels
[00:12] <kerneloops_> │ Chip: C-Media Electronics CMI9738,0x800f800f P
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <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 ;)
[00:16] <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)
[00:21] <kerneloops_> kristian_: they are many channels
[00:22] <kristian_> hurm
[00:22] <kristian_> try googling the id of the unit
[00:22] <kerneloops_> what is that
[00:23] <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] <kerneloops_> Sim. stereo      : off
[00:23] <kerneloops_> 3D enhancement   : off

[00:24] <kerneloops_> Subdevices: 32/32
[00:24] <kerneloops_> lol
[00:27] <kristian_> hurm
[00:28] <kerneloops_> hurm
[00:28] <kerneloops_> doesnt help :(
[00:30] <kerneloops_> snd_ac97_codec
[00:33] <ibuclaw> kerneloops_, generic sound driver. :>
[00:34] <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
[00:35] <kerneloops_> :s
[00:36] <kerneloops_> kerneloops_: install pulseaudio
[00:36] <kerneloops_> ActionParsnip said
[00:36] <kerneloops_> :p
[00:37] <ibuclaw> ActionParsnip would say that.
[00:38] <kerneloops_> lol
[00:38] <ibuclaw> kerneloops_, #ubuntu?
[00:38] <kerneloops_> yes
[00:38] <kerneloops_> server
[00:38] <kerneloops_> too
[00:39] <ibuclaw> I actually won a bet on that channel once.
[00:39] <ibuclaw> ask bodhi_zazen :>
[00:41] <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
[00:42] <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
[00:49] <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
[00:50] <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_> ..
[00:52] <jhanafrog> what ver. of ubuntu are you using kerneloops_?
[00:52] <kerneloops_> 10.10
[00:52] <kerneloops_> server
[00:52] <kerneloops_> 32bit
[00:53] <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
[00:54] <kerneloops_> pulseaudio neither
[00:54] <jhanafrog> i don't know what packages are necessary for audio.
[00:55] <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?
[00:56] <jhanafrog> google says "huh?" :|
[00:57] <jhanafrog> maybe make a liveusb of desktop, and see if that works :)
[00:58] <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?
[01:00] <kerneloops_> I want to play music
[01:00] <kerneloops_> ;)
[01:00] <jhanafrog> is it a media server?
[01:01] <kerneloops_> no
[01:02] <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
[01:03] <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
[01:04] <kerneloops_> I need to sudo alsamixer
[01:04] <kerneloops_> via SSH
[01:04] <kerneloops_> is it normal?
[01:05] <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
[01:06] <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?
[01:07] <holstein> i thought maybe you had typed mixer in
[01:07] <kerneloops_> lool
[01:07] <kerneloops_> gimme ur weed
[01:08] <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
[01:09] <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?
[01:10] <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
[01:11] <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
[01:12] <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
[01:13] <kerneloops_> yeah
[01:13] <jhanafrog> well, since nobody else is asking, i'll ask in #ubuntu-security
[01:13] <kerneloops_> hm
[01:16] <kerneloops_> ei yofel
[01:17] <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
[01:18] <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
[01:19] <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
[01:20] <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
[01:21] <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
[01:22] <holstein> you sould sudo apt-cache search fluendo
[01:22] <holstein>     could*
[01:22] <holstein> they offer us a nice free mp3 codec :)
[01:23] <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?
[01:24] <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
[01:25] <jhanafrog> that's...weird
[01:25] <jhanafrog> what's all the pcm stuff?
[01:26] <kerneloops_> hehehe
[01:26] <kerneloops_> no idea
[01:27] <kerneloops_> 32 subdevices
[01:27] <kerneloops_> WORKING SONG
[01:28] <kerneloops_> SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING
[01:29] <kerneloops_> it was permissions problem
[01:29] <kerneloops_> i think
[01:29] <kerneloops_> now im gonna remove pulseaudio lol
[01:39] <jhanafrog> kerneloops_: yay, it works!  now i'll try to break it!  :P
[01:40] <kerneloops_> lol
[01:40] <kerneloops_> jhanafrog: I already broke it
[01:40] <kerneloops_> purged pulseaudio
[01:40] <kerneloops_> x)
[01:45] <kristian_> the lulz are on you, kerneloops_ ;)
[01:45] <kristian_> glad you're making progress
[01:46] <kerneloops_> lol
 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
[01:49] <kerneloops_> How can I reset alsamixer settings? need to know
[02:41] <r4y> OK, I am done eating
[02:41] <r4y> With Ubuntu Hardy Heron recordmydesktop worked with jack and hydrogen drum machine
[02:42] <r4y> I am now using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and recordmydesktop and xvidcapture doesn't work
[02:43] <r4y> I am going to try something
[02:43] <kerneloops_> hm
[02:44] <jhanafrog> sorry r4y, i got nothing
[02:44] <jhanafrog> i can't even get cheese to work with my webcam consistently
[02:45] <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
[02:46] <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
[02:47] <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
[02:48] <r4y> Does your work then?
[02:48] <jhanafrog> my list of useful commands
[02:50] <r4y> Yes, pastebin it, that would be great
[02:50] <r4y> thank you
[02:51] <r4y> I should remove jack control as well  guess
[02:51] <holstein> r4y: you need JACK?
[02:52] <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
[02:55] <holstein> drag...
[02:58] <r4y> what just happened?
[02:58] <holstein> netsplit
[02:59] <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
[03:00] <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
[03:01] <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> :)
[03:18] <kerneloops_> alsamixer: simple.c:160: snd_mixer_selem_get_id: Assertion `(elem)->type == SND_MIXER_ELEM_SIMPLE' failed
[03:18] <kerneloops_> what the hell
[04:53] <kerneloops_> bye all
[05:16] <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?
[05:17] <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
[05:18] <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
[05:19] <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
[05:20] <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
[05:21] <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
[05:22] <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
[05:23] <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
[05:24] <holstein> unetbootin is in the repos
[05:24] <holstein> i format befor using it
[05:24] <holstein> with gparted or whatever
[05:25] <earthling_> downloading it
[05:37] <earthling_> hmm
[05:38] <earthling_> so it says it was fat32
[05:38] <earthling_> perhaps I should try fat16
[05:40] <holstein> earthling_: why?
[05:41] <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
[05:42] <holstein> FAT32
[05:42] <earthling_> how long does take it make the usb?
[05:42] <earthling_> I was going to try xubuntu 10.04
[05:43] <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] <earthling_> will take awhile though
[05:44] <holstein> xubuntu
[05:44] <holstein> poobuntu
[05:44] <holstein> whatever...
[05:45] <earthling_> round to cylinders?
[05:45] <earthling_> on gparted
[05:45] <earthling_> whats that about?
[05:46] <holstein> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1038135.html
[05:47] <earthling_> thx
[05:47] <holstein> sure :)
[05:49] <earthling_> gotta reboot bbl
[05:52] <earthling_> says partition couldn't be modified
[05:53] <earthling_> probably because they are in use
[05:55] <earthling_> now its working
[06:06] <earthling_> usb created
[06:13] <earthling_> still doesn't work
[10:08] <glivezoo> bonjour a tous

[10:15] <glivezoo> thank
[10:17] <glivezoo> no questions bye :-))
[10:18] <glivezoo> have some troubles ?please ask
[10:50] <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...?
[10:51] <xardas008> does it have a graphical user interface?
[10:51] <xardas008> or is it a command line tool?
[10:52] <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
[10:53] <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
[10:55] <xardas008> alternatly you can start a program using alt + f2 (works only with graphical user interfaces i think)

[13:10] <Mamontin> hi all
[13:14] <bdfhjk> Hi Mamontin
[13:32] <aztek> hello s-fox...
[16:57] <kerneloops_> hi all
[16:58] <s-fox> o/
[16:58] <MrChrisDruif> Hai kerneloops_, s-fox
[16:59] <xardas008> that's where fun beginns: SystemError:installArchives() failed
[17:00] <xardas008> got that error while trying to activate my graphics card driver
[17:36] <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.
[17:38] <MrChrisDruif> I'm here....let's see your problem..
[17:43] <MrChrisDruif> skrappjaw: I'm no star in SSH, but there should be lots of tutorials about it on google :)
[17:52] <stlsaint> he left
[17:52] <stlsaint> shucks
[17:52] <MrChrisDruif> Left at the same time as my comment :P
[17:53] <IAmNotThatGuy> Hola lukjad and MrChrisDruif
[17:54] <MrChrisDruif> Ola YouAreNotThatGuy :P
[17:55] <kerneloops_> hm
[17:55] <IAmNotThatGuy> MrChrisDruif, IAmNotThatGuy :P
[17:55] <kerneloops_> it's possible to start X apps from SSH?
[17:55] <kerneloops_> o.o
[17:56] <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
[17:57] <IAmNotThatGuy> MrChrisDruif, how are you?
[17:58] <skrappjaw> I figure that since I know how to run a Vbox I might be able to use that to test it out.
[18:30] <s-fox> TTFN
[18:41] <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)
[18:42] <xardas008> but that would mean i will have another one, but i don't need the panels any more
[18:43] <M0hi> xardas008, any reasons to remove the panels?
[18:43] <xardas008> I'm using avant-window-navigator, on that i have everything i need
[18:44] <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
[18:45] <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!
[18:46] <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
[18:47] <M0hi> I am going to sleep. night all
[18:48] <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
[18:49] <xardas008> i'm not using unity
[18:49] <xardas008> no netbook remix installed
[18:49] <MrChrisDruif> xardas008: unity is also in natty
[18:50] <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] <charlie-tca> sorry, wrong channel
[18:50] <MrChrisDruif> xardas008: +1, but some people have extra machines
[20:29] <skeddy> Hello! Would this be the right place to get some help mounting an Ext2 partition?
[20:30] <charlie-tca> sure, what kind of help?
[20:32] <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
[20:33] <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
[20:34] <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:
[20:35] <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??
[20:39] <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"
[20:40] <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
[20:41] <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*
[20:42] <charlie-tca> sudo mount -t ext2 /home/skeddy/HELLO /dev/sdd3         but replace skeddy with your own user name on the computer
[20:43] <skeddy> cheers
[20:43] <skeddy> now: mount: /home/TheSkeds/HELLO is not a block device
[20:44] <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
[20:45] <skeddy> Yep - exactly the same message :-/
[20:46] <MrChrisDruif> ansh: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/saving-flash-videos-in-linux-tmp-no-longer-works/
[20:47] <charlie-tca> might be a hard disk gone bad, too
[20:47] <ansh> MrChrisDruif : thanks
[20:48] <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
[20:50] <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"
[20:53] <skeddy> Ahhh I see. Cheers
[20:53] <charlie-tca> Good luck
[20:54] <skeddy> thank you
[20:55] <MrChrisDruif> Good luck skeddy
[23:04] <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?
[23:05] <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 :)
[23:06] <panel_pixel> im gonna try -1 value..
[23:07] <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
[23:09] <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 :)
[23:10] <panel_pixel> I heard KDE  is better for this
[23:10] <MrChrisDruif> I don't know :)
[23:10] <MrChrisDruif> I've got a pretty custom set up :)
[23:39] <panel_pixel> :(
