| kristian-aalborg | hey | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| kristian-aalborg | anyone tried making a grub installation on a cd? | 00:01 |
| kristian-aalborg | I'd like to do that so that I can boot off of pcmcia/cf | 00:01 |
| UbuntuN00b | cf? | 00:18 |
| kristian-aalborg | UbuntuN00b: Compact Flash | 00:21 |
| UbuntuN00b | i was working on that | 00:21 |
| kristian-aalborg | yes? | 00:21 |
| UbuntuN00b | caus i have an aspire one so the sd slot is not bootable | 00:21 |
| UbuntuN00b | as its pci | 00:21 |
| UbuntuN00b | i have read forums that its possible but | 00:22 |
| UbuntuN00b | i think you need to boot to a linux distro on the maine drive then boot to flash | 00:22 |
| UbuntuN00b | as grub does not have a kernal | 00:22 |
| UbuntuN00b | it can only see what your bios does | 00:22 |
| UbuntuN00b | but i'm a n00b | 00:22 |
| UbuntuN00b | so don't just take my word for it | 00:23 |
| UbuntuN00b | thats what i wanted to do because my internal drive is only 8gb | 00:23 |
| UbuntuN00b | bought a class 10 40gb sd card | 00:23 |
| UbuntuN00b | supposebly this guy got it working | 00:26 |

| Zacer | I'm having trouble using my new external DVD drive, can someone help me out? | 03:37 |
| holstein | Zacer: do those look kinda like records? | 03:37 |
| holstein | its been a while ;) | 03:37 |
| * holstein totally kidding | 03:38 | |
| holstein | Zacer: plug it in | 03:38 |
| holstein | its USB right? | 03:38 |
| Zacer | it's plugged in, and yes usb | 03:38 |
| holstein | and open a terminal | 03:38 |
| holstein | run in the terminal | 03:38 |
| holstein | lspci | 03:38 |
| holstein | and lsusb | 03:38 |
| holstein | and see if you see the device listed there | 03:38 |
| holstein | and let me plug the LG dvd burner i have here in | 03:38 |
| holstein | and see where it shows up :) | 03:38 |
| holstein | yeah | 03:39 |
| holstein | Bus 001 Device 008: ID 152e:2507 LG (HLDS) | 03:39 |
| holstein | ^ i think thats it | 03:39 |
| holstein | in lsusb | 03:39 |
| Zacer | I don't think I see it there. this is what showed up | 03:43 |
| Zacer | nathan@Sheldon:~$ lsusb | 03:43 |

| holstein | i dont think so either | 03:44 |
| holstein | *use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ for pasting multiple lines in the future :) | 03:44 |
| holstein | Zacer: what is it? | 03:44 |
| holstein | what brand/model | 03:44 |
| holstein | do you still have the reciept? | 03:44 |
| holstein | have you tried it with another machine/os? | 03:45 |
| Zacer | should be a philips CDRW/DVD CDD5263. and yes, I tried it on a windows machine and it worked fine | 03:45 |
| Zacer | when I open Disk Utility, it shows up along side my other drives, but I am unable to access it through any programs | 03:47 |
| holstein | what shows up in disc utility? | 03:47 |
| holstein | whatever DVD you have? | 03:47 |
| Zacer | no, just the name of the drive, which is the model number I posted earlier | 03:48 |
| holstein | what happens when you put a DVD/CD in? | 03:49 |
| holstein | nothing? | 03:49 |
| Zacer | yeah. the drive itself spins it as if it will start to read it, but the computer shows no response. I figured that the autostart just wasn't compatible on ubuntu | 03:49 |
| holstein | i found your thread ;) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1720195 | 03:50 |
| holstein | and thats it | 03:50 |
| holstein | :/ | 03:50 |
| Zacer | yeah :/ | 03:50 |
| holstein | nah | 03:50 |
| holstein | autostart for what? | 03:50 |
| holstein | try different discs | 03:50 |
| holstein | if you have an autostarting windows disc | 03:50 |
| holstein | that wont start | 03:50 |
| Zacer | when I put it on the windows machine, it started playing immediately. It's just a generic movie DVD | 03:51 |

| Zacer | hmm, that first one is the same model, but unlike his, mine doesn't show up in my Computer alongside my other devices | 03:58 |
| holstein | Zacer: sometimes a kernel update can fix that | 04:00 |
| holstein | have you upgraded? | 04:00 |
| Zacer | upgraded or updated? | 04:00 |
| holstein | well, whatever you kids are calling it | 04:00 |
| holstein | getting new packages :) | 04:00 |
| Zacer | haha. yes, I have gone through the updates whenever update manager brings them up, but I will check again now for any new updates | 04:01 |
| holstein | Zacer: thats odd | 04:01 |
| holstein | seems so much like a hardware problem | 04:01 |
| holstein | im sure youve tried other USB ports | 04:02 |
| Zacer | yeah, but it has worked on another machine. I actually haven't, I'll do that now | 04:02 |
| holstein | but if the USB is known to be good | 04:03 |
| holstein | who knows | 04:03 |
| holstein | that sux i know | 04:03 |
| holstein | Zacer: i would be interested to see if the thing works with any newer or older kernels | 04:03 |
| holstein | usually the easiest way for me to do that | 04:03 |
| holstein | is get live ISO's | 04:03 |
| holstein | you can make live USB sticks of lucid and natty | 04:04 |
| holstein | and try them | 04:04 |
| holstein | IF you just get bored :) | 04:04 |
| Zacer | hmm, I think I might try that. they're still available for download, right? | 04:04 |
| holstein | yeah | 04:05 |
| holstein | you can probably get hardy still | 04:05 |
| holstein | lucid'll be around for a while though | 04:05 |
| holstein | and natty has a different kernel version too | 04:05 |
| Zacer | which would you suggest in general? | 04:05 |
| holstein | well, as kind of a last ditch trouble-shooting setp | 04:06 |
| holstein | step( | 04:06 |
| holstein | i usually try the last LTS | 04:06 |
| holstein | and the newest one | 04:06 |
| holstein | Zacer: try natty | 04:06 |
| holstein | then you can at least see natty | 04:07 |
| holstein | and you'll get that out of the experience if nothing else | 04:07 |
| holstein | Zacer: if it does happen to work | 04:07 |
| holstein | note the kernel version | 04:07 |
| holstein | should be able to get that device working with 10.10 | 04:08 |
| Jygen | is there a way to install amd radeon 6850 drivers on ubuntu | 04:43 |

| Jygen | -D | 05:01 |
| Jygen | =D | 05:01 |
| holstein | thoughs usually have really good explanations and directions | 05:01 |
| Jygen | does this work on 10.04 also | 05:01 |
| Jygen | or just 10.10 | 05:01 |
| holstein | i would try them all | 05:02 |
| holstein | its an easy way to try different kernel versions | 05:02 |
| Jygen | alright | 05:03 |
| holstein | try them live | 05:03 |
| Jygen | this is kinda hard to figure out but i think i got it | 05:14 |
| Jygen | just gotta install some stuff | 05:14 |
| Jygen | completely new to linux btw | 05:14 |
| Jygen | thats why im having trouble with this | 05:14 |
| Jygen | finally | 05:27 |
| Jygen | i have to download build essentials i guess | 05:27 |
| Jygen | hey holstein | 05:30 |
| Jygen | any idea why i would get this in the terminal | 05:31 |
| Jygen | desktop:~$ sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-x86.x86_64.run | 05:31 |
| Jygen | sh: Can't open ./ati-driver-installer-x86.x86_64.run | 05:31 |
| holstein | Jygen: maybe its not there | 05:31 |
| holstein | let the path auto complete | 05:32 |
| holstein | with tab | 05:32 |
| holstein | and you'll know you are asking for something thats there | 05:32 |
| Jygen | i give up | 05:45 |
| Jygen | i cant get the driver to install | 05:45 |
| holstein | Jygen: with? | 05:45 |
| holstein | what driver? | 05:46 |
| Jygen | 6850 radeon | 05:46 |
| holstein | right | 05:46 |
| holstein | where did you get it? | 05:46 |
| holstein | there should be one in the repos | 05:46 |
| holstein | that'll work | 05:46 |
| holstein | if not | 05:46 |
| holstein | there should be directions in the download | 05:46 |
| holstein | whats the issue? | 05:46 |
| Jygen | ubuntus not detecting my graphics card | 05:46 |
| Jygen | and i cant get it to work | 05:46 |
| holstein | well, ubuntu is | 05:47 |
| holstein | you have a desktop | 05:47 |
| holstein | amd is not supplying you a driver | 05:47 |
| holstein | to use with ubuntu | 05:47 |
| holstein | BUT | 05:47 |
| holstein | thats a story for another day | 05:47 |
| holstein | Jygen: whats the error message? | 05:47 |
| Jygen | no error message | 05:47 |
| holstein | Jygen: OK | 05:47 |
| Jygen | when i go to hardware drivers | 05:47 |
| holstein | whats the issue | 05:47 |
| Jygen | nothing appears | 05:47 |
| holstein | when you are trying to install the driver | 05:48 |
| Jygen | oh | 05:48 |
| Jygen | it just keeps saying command not found | 05:48 |
| holstein | what command? | 05:48 |
| holstein | did you use autocomplete like i suggested? | 05:48 |
| holstein | you can also just find the .sh file | 05:48 |
| Jygen | 2 sh ./ati-driver-installer-x86.x86_64.run | 05:48 |
| holstein | and drag it over in the terminal | 05:48 |
| holstein | the .run file | 05:49 |
| holstein | open the gnome terminal | 05:49 |
| holstein | and drag it over | 05:49 |
| Jygen | i tried that to | 05:49 |
| holstein | and the complete path will complete | 05:49 |
| holstein | Jygen: whats the error then? | 05:49 |
| holstein | check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingRunPackage | 05:50 |
| Jygen | thanks | 05:52 |
| Jygen | that worked | 05:52 |
| holstein | Jygen: :) | 05:52 |
| Jygen | idk why i couldnt find that online at all | 05:52 |
| holstein | Jygen: theres no shortage of ubuntu wiki pages | 05:52 |
| Jygen | i was checking forums trying to find people who had similar problems | 05:53 |
| holstein | can be challenging to search for the proper one though | 05:53 |
| Jygen | what can i do about the fact that when i go to my hardware drivers | 05:54 |
| Jygen | it doesnt display my graphics card | 05:54 |
| holstein | Jygen: what hardware drivers? | 05:54 |
| Jygen | umm | 05:54 |
| holstein | im not sure where you are looking | 05:54 |
| holstein | open a terminal | 05:54 |
| holstein | run | 05:54 |
| holstein | lscpi | 05:54 |
| holstein | OOPS | 05:54 |
| holstein | lspci | 05:54 |
| holstein | you'll see the device there | 05:54 |
| Jygen | system>administrations>hardwaredrivers | 05:54 |
| holstein | Jygen: you'll see restricted drivers show up there | 05:55 |
| holstein | if you downloaded | 05:55 |
| holstein | and installed | 05:55 |
| holstein | a relavant driver | 05:55 |
| holstein | thats it | 05:55 |
| holstein | you dont have to do there | 05:55 |
| holstein | go* | 05:55 |
| Jygen | i actually think its isntalled now | 05:56 |
| holstein | cool | 05:56 |
| holstein | you'll find out | 05:56 |
| Jygen | it shows the ati driver | 05:56 |
| holstein | you should need to restart for that | 05:56 |
| Jygen | im gonna reboot my system real quick and ill come back and let you know if my graphics card is working properly | 05:56 |
| holstein | Jygen: good luck | 05:57 |
| Jygen | didnt work | 06:04 |
| holstein | Jygen: :/ | 06:04 |
| Jygen | it says the reason its not working | 06:04 |
| holstein | Jygen: did it make you a custom xorg.conf? | 06:04 |
| Jygen | is because the driver itself is not installed | 06:04 |
| Jygen | but the software for the driver is installed | 06:04 |
| holstein | Jygen: maybe the driver isnt loaded | 06:04 |
| Jygen | maybe | 06:04 |
| holstein | you might need a custom xorg.conf | 06:04 |
| Jygen | thats what im thinking | 06:05 |
| holstein | ubuntu doesnt really use that anymore | 06:05 |
| holstein | but, if one is there | 06:05 |
| Jygen | i read something about a custom xorg | 06:05 |
| holstein | it'll use it | 06:05 |
| holstein | im using a few actually | 06:05 |
| Jygen | hmm | 06:05 |
| holstein | with ubuntu 10.04 | 06:05 |
| Jygen | how would i go about uninstalling the .run file i just installed | 06:05 |
| holstein | well, you dont need to | 06:06 |
| holstein | but there should be directions in it | 06:06 |
| holstein | maybe an unistall script | 06:06 |
| Jygen | i believe i have the custom xorg but it also installs the same software i just installed | 06:06 |
| holstein | i wouldnt worry about it though | 06:06 |
| holstein | Jygen: the xorg shouldnt install anything | 06:07 |
| holstein | you should just put in there | 06:07 |
| holstein | in /etc/X11 | 06:07 |
| holstein | and it'll just do its thing | 06:07 |
| holstein | BUT, make sure you know how to go in with a live CD | 06:07 |
| holstein | and undo it :) | 06:07 |
| holstein | if you dont get any video at all* | 06:07 |
| Jygen | wait | 06:09 |
| Jygen | put that in terminal? | 06:09 |
| holstein | put what in terminal? | 06:09 |
| holstein | you gotta make the xorg file | 06:09 |
| holstein | and put it in /etc/X11 | 06:10 |
| Jygen | i got no idea how to make the xorg file | 06:10 |
| holstein | Jygen: do you have one? | 06:10 |
| holstein | that you grabbed from somewhere? | 06:10 |
| Jygen | thought i did | 06:10 |
| holstein | you can use gedit | 06:10 |
| Jygen | but appearently i dotn | 06:10 |
| holstein | gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:10 |
| holstein | and paste it in | 06:10 |
| holstein | BUT, again | 06:10 |
| holstein | have a backup plan | 06:11 |
| holstein | you go in from a live CD | 06:11 |
| holstein | and rename that file | 06:11 |
| holstein | /etc/X11/xorg.cong.didntwork | 06:11 |
| holstein | or whatever | 06:11 |
| holstein | and you can boot again | 06:11 |
| holstein | like you are now | 06:11 |
| holstein | and try something else | 06:11 |
| Jygen | i still think my problem is the fact that | 06:13 |
| Jygen | when i first installed ubuntu | 06:13 |
| Jygen | and went to my hardware drivers | 06:13 |
| Jygen | it didnt have any proprietary drivers for me to activate | 06:13 |
| holstein | right | 06:14 |
| holstein | which probably means that there are none | 06:14 |
| holstein | but, if you found one, thats great | 06:14 |
| Jygen | im using 10.04 | 06:14 |
| holstein | and sometimes there are some older cards like that that fall through the cracks | 06:14 |
| holstein | Jygen: doesnt matter | 06:14 |
| Jygen | when i installed 10.10 it was able to detect my proprietary drivers | 06:14 |
| holstein | almost always | 06:14 |
| holstein | IF there is a proprietary driver availalbe | 06:15 |
| holstein | it'll tell you about it | 06:15 |
| Jygen | any my cards not that old | 06:15 |
| Jygen | and* | 06:15 |
| holstein | a 62xx? | 06:15 |
| Jygen | 68xx | 06:15 |
| holstein | well, whatever | 06:15 |
| Jygen | 6850 | 06:15 |
| holstein | why not just use 10.10 then? | 06:15 |
| Jygen | the disc i have is curropted | 06:16 |
| Jygen | so when i installed it it seemed to work | 06:16 |
| Jygen | but when i shut my computer off and rebooted it nothing showed up | 06:16 |
| holstein | you can dist-upgrade | 06:16 |
| holstein | if you think that will help | 06:16 |
| Jygen | how would i go about doing that | 06:17 |
| holstein | Jygen: a proprietary driver showed up? | 06:17 |
| holstein | in 10.10? | 06:17 |
| holstein | and installed? | 06:17 |
| holstein | what driver? | 06:17 |
| holstein | you should be able to access that driver | 06:17 |
| holstein | in lucid | 06:17 |
| holstein | Jygen: you have upgraded lucid? | 06:17 |
| Jygen | no | 06:17 |
| Jygen | was gonna do that after i got my driver working | 06:18 |
| holstein | i would do it first | 06:18 |
| holstein | might trigger something needed | 06:18 |
| Jygen | alright | 06:19 |
| holstein | gotta do something :) | 06:19 |
| holstein | cant just sit there waiting on it | 06:19 |
| holstein | that card is newer than i though | 06:20 |
| holstein | i was thinking the old cards | 06:20 |
| holstein | i would say going forward would help | 06:20 |
| holstein | maybe just download ubuntu 11.04 | 06:20 |
| holstein | and install that :) | 06:20 |
| Jygen | lol theres 409 updates | 06:20 |
| Jygen | and i got nothing to do but sit and wait | 06:20 |
| Jygen | hmm | 06:20 |
| Jygen | 11.04 | 06:21 |
| holstein | i installed 10.04 | 06:21 |
| holstein | on my EEE1001 | 06:21 |
| Jygen | couldnt i just upgrade to 10.10 | 06:21 |
| holstein | and sound and wifi didnt work | 06:21 |
| Jygen | then upgrade to 11.04 | 06:21 |
| holstein | i updated the packages | 06:21 |
| holstein | and everything worked :) | 06:21 |
| holstein | Jygen: upgrading takes 4ever | 06:21 |
| holstein | and you have a fresh install right? | 06:21 |
| holstein | you dont have any data to preserve | 06:21 |
| holstein | best case on a dist upgrade, maybe a couple hours | 06:22 |
| holstein | installs take like 15 minutes now | 06:22 |
| holstein | but, do what you want | 06:22 |
| Jygen | id have to go burn a 11.04 disk | 06:22 |
| holstein | yeah | 06:22 |
| holstein | download it | 06:22 |
| holstein | and burn it | 06:22 |
| holstein | discs are cheap now | 06:23 |
| Jygen | how big of a disk would i need | 06:23 |
| holstein | go for it | 06:23 |
| holstein | a CD | 06:23 |
| Jygen | i have a few 700mb disks laying around | 06:23 |
| holstein | just a normal CD | 06:23 |
| Jygen | but are those big enough | 06:23 |
| holstein | should be | 06:23 |
| Jygen | that means i gotta go boot up in windows | 06:23 |
| Jygen | burn a disk | 06:23 |
| Jygen | and come back | 06:24 |
| holstein | dont have to | 06:24 |
| holstein | you can DL it right there | 06:24 |
| holstein | and burn it :) | 06:24 |
| Jygen | this computer cant burn cds | 06:24 |
| Jygen | xD | 06:24 |
| Jygen | its a work in progress | 06:24 |
| holstein | sounds like fun :) | 06:24 |
| holstein | anyways, im out | 06:25 |
| holstein | Jygen: good luck | 06:25 |
| Jygen | alright | 06:25 |
| Jygen | thanks | 06:25 |

| === CannonFodda_ is now known as CannonFodda | ||
| CannonFodda | seidos: sorry rebooted modem forgot it made the internet work ;) | 06:46 |
| seidos | CannonFodda: you might try searching google for your specific broadcom chipset + ubuntu + wubi | 06:48 |
| seidos | CannonFodda: i've never used wubi, but ndiswrapper may work with your chipset if there is no native linux driver | 06:48 |
| CannonFodda | is it just the driver that disables the hardware? | 06:49 |
| CannonFodda | it says the driver is activated??? | 06:49 |
| seidos | CannonFodda: you need to make sure the right driver for your chipset is loaded | 06:50 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| seidos | CannonFodda: at least, that's what i would do | 06:50 |
| CannonFodda | seidos: how can i interrogate the hardware to check what chipset it is? | 06:51 |
| seidos | CannonFodda: you can do lspci and sudo lshw | 06:52 |
| CannonFodda | seidos: broadcom corp bcm4312 | 06:53 |
| CannonFodda | this is the installed driver | 06:54 |
| CannonFodda | sorry | 06:54 |
| CannonFodda | chipset & driver match | 06:54 |

| UbuntuN00b | anybody try running quake 4 or doom3 on a netbook with an intel gma video card? | 20:04 |
| bioterror | UbuntuN00b, why bother | 20:06 |
| UbuntuN00b | ummm i guess i'm curious how much lighter weight ubuntu is | 20:07 |
| UbuntuN00b | as i know the spec requirements are lower for linux based systems | 20:07 |
| bioterror | yeah, but lightweight doesnt mean that your computers graphics card turns into something else that is not | 20:09 |
| UbuntuN00b | hehe this is true | 20:09 |
| bioterror | 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 20:10 |
| bioterror | I have that, and I can say it's far from god's gift to humankind | 20:11 |
| UbuntuN00b | lol | 20:11 |
| UbuntuN00b | just curious as my netbook is way faster and has been able to play games that it would never had done under windows | 20:12 |
| UbuntuN00b | wanted to get an idea how far i could push it | 20:12 |
| bioterror | UbuntuN00b, I bet you're pushing the limits. sure you can try. I bet you can only have positive suprises | 20:14 |
| UbuntuN00b | do you know how ram sharing works between the video card and the system, considering linux uses the "swap" ? | 20:16 |
| UbuntuN00b | was wondering if thats one of the other reasons the video is so much faster | 20:16 |
| bioterror | it's the drivers that matters | 20:17 |
| UbuntuN00b | kk | 20:17 |
| coz_ | UbuntuN00b, memory sharing takes place,, rather is set in the bios for vide,, you should be able to increase it there if you want faster morereliable video | 20:19 |
| UbuntuN00b | nah only some bios let you increase it or change it | 20:26 |
| UbuntuN00b | i have to run | 20:26 |
| UbuntuN00b | even when its shared | 20:26 |
