| aStewartS90 | Hi, can someone walk me through removing past kernel versioning from the Grub 1.98 boot menu? | 05:44 |
| Dan | I am looking for help finding a driver to support my video card? | 06:30 |
| bioterror | and your card is | 06:31 |
| Dan | ATI Radeon 9200 Pro | 06:32 |
| Dan | aka old | 06:32 |
| bioterror | yep | 06:32 |
| bioterror | you wont play much with that card | 06:32 |
| Dan | I am just looking to try out Ubuntu so I threw it on an old box I had | 06:33 |
| bioterror | you dont get graphical interface? | 06:33 |
| Dan | yeah I do | 06:34 |
| bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 06:35 |
| Dan | thanks | 06:35 |
| iggy19 | what is the best way to view used an free space on different mount points, graphically? | 06:46 |
| bioterror | open terminal and say "df -h" | 06:47 |
| bioterror | the best thing in df is that it even works in console too! | 06:47 |
| iggy19 | brilliant! | 06:47 |
| iggy19 | properties under nautilus was telling me it couldn't tell me free space (even running it as root), gparted doesn't read cryptlvm, and that ringcharts thing makes no sense at all to me. | 06:50 |
| holstein | i have a 9200 pro Dan | 06:55 |
| holstein | i swapped it ot recently for some nvidia card | 06:56 |
| Dan | everything on mine is working, but I went to change the settings under system>preferences>appearance and it told me it wouldnt support any visual effects | 06:57 |
| Dan | so I was thinking maybe there is a driver with better support | 06:57 |
| holstein | sure | 06:58 |
| holstein | it kinda worked for me too | 06:58 |
| holstein | out of the box | 06:58 |
| holstein | Dan: but i couldnt make it happen for me | 06:58 |
| holstein | smooth video playback | 06:59 |
| holstein | i mean, go for it | 06:59 |
| holstein | i didnt try maverick | 06:59 |
| Dan | yeah I cant even play DVDs | 06:59 |
| holstein | or natty with it | 06:59 |
| holstein | BUT, on the same machine | 06:59 |
| holstein | i switched to an nvidia card | 06:59 |
| holstein | installed the proprietary driver | 06:59 |
| holstein | and all is well | 06:59 |
| holstein | *not that im saying nvidia is better | 07:00 |
| Dan | hey whatever works | 07:00 |
| holstein | its just better supported | 07:00 |
| Dan | What nvidia card are you using? | 07:01 |
| holstein | Dan: id have to look | 07:01 |
| holstein | and i cant right now | 07:01 |
| Dan | no worries | 07:01 |
| holstein | nothing special though | 07:01 |
| holstein | old | 07:01 |
| holstein | PCI | 07:01 |
| holstein | not PCI express | 07:02 |
| holstein | this is a little box i built with a barebones kit | 07:02 |
| holstein | has not AGP slot | 07:02 |
| holstein | no* | 07:02 |
| Dan | mine is AGP I think | 07:03 |
| holstein | same chip though AFAIK | 07:03 |

| johnny77 | Do I need a CD in the CD-ROM drive to mount the drive? | 14:38 |
| xardas008 | sure | 14:39 |
| xardas008 | johnny77, what do you want to do with that drive without a cd in it? | 14:40 |
| johnny77 | xardas008: My thought process was, could I mount the CD Drive during boot so that whenever I inserted a CD it would be ready. | 14:41 |
| xardas008 | johnny77, that's normally the job of automount and udev, but if it doesn't work (like with my notebook) it would be a problem with your hardware, i've found no solution yet for that problem | 14:42 |
| johnny77 | xardas008: How do I manually mount the CD drive? | 14:45 |
| === [N] is now known as PinkUnicorns | ||
| xardas008 | johnny77, normally with sudo mount -v /dev/cdrom /media/folder_of_your_choice_cdrom_by_default | 14:46 |

| holstein | ? | 15:08 |
| holstein | johnny77: thats not cool | 15:08 |
| holstein | johnny77: in a terminal | 15:08 |
| holstein | aplay -l | 15:08 |
| holstein | and | 15:08 |
| holstein | arecord -l | 15:08 |
| holstein | johnny77: what did you do to break it? | 15:08 |
| johnny77 | holstein: <.< >.> Me! I'm innocent. :p | 15:09 |
| holstein | hehe | 15:09 |
| holstein | you think it was an update? | 15:10 |
| holstein | or has sound never worked? | 15:10 |
| johnny77 | holstein: It may not have been setup yet. It's my spare computer. | 15:11 |
| holstein | johnny77: if you installed ubuntu on it | 15:11 |
| holstein | that should be enough to setup the sound | 15:11 |
| holstein | *in theory | 15:11 |
| johnny77 | holstein: aplay: device_list: 235: no soundcards found... | 15:11 |
| holstein | if the device can be supported be alsa and the kernel | 15:11 |
| holstein | it will be | 15:11 |
| holstein | johnny77: thats not good | 15:12 |
| holstein | run the command | 15:12 |
| holstein | lspci | 15:12 |
| johnny77 | holstein: Yes, Ubuntu is installed, but used alternative CD to install a CLI | 15:12 |
| holstein | do you see it there? | 15:12 |
| johnny77 | holstein: yes, lspci lists an audio device | 15:13 |
| holstein | OK | 15:13 |
| johnny77 | brb | 15:13 |
| holstein | IF you have never heard sound from that box in linux | 15:13 |
| holstein | you might want to try a normal live CD | 15:13 |
| holstein | just to make sure that it *can* work | 15:13 |
| holstein | so you're not banging your head against a wall | 15:13 |
| MrChrisDruif | Does anybody know if it's possible to reverse the orientation of the scroll? With a mouse-pad? Or at all? | 15:14 |
| holstein | MrChrisDruif: maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1182660 | 15:15 |
| holstein | a custom xorg.conf would be my vote | 15:15 |
| holstein | is it possible? | 15:16 |
| holstein | sure | 15:16 |
| holstein | its linux | 15:16 |
| MrChrisDruif | So a custom xorg.conf? How would I go about doing that holstein? | 15:16 |
| holstein | johnny77: maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-817996.html would help you get started | 15:19 |
| holstein | MrChrisDruif: id probably just google around | 15:19 |
| holstein | sometimes i let something like knoppix make an xorg.conf file | 15:19 |
| holstein | and i steal it :) | 15:19 |
| holstein | *ok, borrow | 15:19 |

| rcconf | hi | 16:16 |
| rcconf | do you know how can I access partitions using ubuntu server livecd? | 16:17 |
| rcconf | just to test it | 16:17 |
| charlie-tca | Ubuntu server does not use the live cd | 16:20 |
| charlie-tca | it only has the text installer | 16:20 |
| rcconf | yes i just want to use a cli | 16:26 |
| rcconf | :( | 16:26 |
| charlie-tca | Then use the menu option to recover the system, it will get you to a root prompt, where you can mount the partitions. | 16:29 |
| charlie-tca | It doesn't let you test the new release, though. | 16:30 |
| charlie-tca | Recover does not modi\ | 16:30 |
| charlie-tca | modify anything unless you tell it to. | 16:30 |
| rcconf | charlie-tca: i just selected recovery mode | 16:31 |
| rcconf | then changed to tty2 | 16:31 |
| rcconf | and mount the /home.. | 16:32 |
| rcconf | :) | 16:32 |
| charlie-tca | okay | 16:32 |
| johnny77 | need some help with sound. alsamixer will only come up if I run it as super user. Nothing is muted, but there is no sound. | 16:55 |

| suprengr | Any know of a way out of this in 10.04? I had KVM installed (didn't like) so went for Virtualbox... but I get "VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. Please disable the KVM kernel extension, recompile your kernel and reboot (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE)." Running 10.04 [mainly] &: pooter BIOS set for VM ok... Virtualbox & KVM (TestDrive) both working ok in 10.10 | 20:14 |
| pleia2 | suprengr: you need to unload the kvm modules | 20:15 |
| pleia2 | suprengr: intel or amd? | 20:15 |
| suprengr | pleia2: intel | 20:15 |
| pleia2 | ok, so: sudo rmmod kvm_intel | 20:15 |
| pleia2 | then: sudo rmmod kvm | 20:15 |
| suprengr | is that ok with KVM now removed? | 20:16 |
| pleia2 | it's fine even if you don't have kvm uninstalled | 20:16 |
| pleia2 | you can reload htem later if you need | 20:16 |
| pleia2 | it will warn you if they're being used | 20:16 |
| suprengr | pleia2: cheers | 20:16 |
| kristian-aalborg | good evening | 20:18 |
| suprengr | pleia2: ran both cmds with no probs... ran both again & both gave error:does not exist - so I assumed it worked... it did... you are a hero! | 20:20 |

| johnny77 | If i log into ubuntu from the command line, is there a way to specify which session to run? | 20:41 |
| charlie-tca | not without extra work. You can change the session in ~/.dmrc | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | Use either Session=gnome-classic or Session=gnome-desktop | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | Although, if you are using a CLI, you shouldn't need a session, since it uses the GUI | 21:00 |
| johnny77 | charlie-tca: Here is my full situation: I first installed a CLI then added fluxbox. I logged in from the command line and ran startx to load fluxbox. Now I've added Openbox and Blackbox and want to choose which one is loaded with startx. I know a login manager can do this, but thought I could do it from the terminal. | 21:01 |
| juzzy__ | hi, i've got a raedon xpress 200 - will it be okay with my ubuntu install? | 21:06 |
| kristian-aalborg | which is the best FS for a media partition? | 21:07 |
| charlie-tca | johnny77: it could be done, but first you have to figure out what they use to determine that session. | 21:11 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know how to do that from the terminal. You may have to write a short application to allow those choices, then use something like startx fluxbox or startx openbox to make it work. | 21:13 |
| kristian-aalborg | hi holstein | 21:22 |
| kristian-aalborg | got the box, making the music thingie ;) | 21:22 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: o/ | 21:22 |
| holstein | i just used ext2 for a tracking drive | 21:22 |
| kristian-aalborg | Compaq Armada 1700 ftw ;) | 21:22 |
| holstein | but i would use whatever now-a-days | 21:23 |
| kristian-aalborg | I settled for ext3 | 21:23 |

| kristian-aalborg | cmatrix | 23:04 |
| kristian-aalborg | yeah, I got that one | 23:04 |
| kristian-aalborg | and a bunch of clocks, and some figlet scripts... I'm looking for something colourful | 23:05 |
| KinkyPinkie | just out of curiousity: what makes a good screensaver? | 23:05 |
| kristian-aalborg | hurm | 23:05 |
| kristian-aalborg | dunno... something colorful in this instance as the figlet stuff is b/w | 23:06 |
| kristian-aalborg | I guess I could find an ascii viewer, then point it to some random files | 23:07 |
