[00:00] <kristian-aalborg> hey
[00:01] <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
[00:18] <UbuntuN00b> cf?
[00:21] <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
[00:22] <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
[00:23] <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
[00:26] <UbuntuN00b> supposebly this guy got it working

[03:37] <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 ;)
[03:38]  * 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 :)
[03:39] <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
[03:43] <Zacer> I don't think I see it there. this is what showed up
[03:43] <Zacer> nathan@Sheldon:~$ lsusb

[03:44] <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?
[03:45] <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
[03:47] <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?
[03:48] <Zacer> no, just the name of the drive, which is the model number I posted earlier
[03:49] <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
[03:50] <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
[03:51] <Zacer> when I put it on the windows machine, it started playing immediately. It's just a generic movie DVD
[03:52] <holstein> relavant?

[03:58] <Zacer> hmm, that first one is the same model, but unlike his, mine doesn't show up in my Computer alongside my other devices
[04:00] <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 :)
[04:01] <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
[04:02] <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
[04:03] <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
[04:04] <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?
[04:05] <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?
[04:06] <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
[04:07] <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
[04:08] <holstein> should be able to get that device working with 10.10
[04:43] <Jygen> is there a way to install amd radeon 6850 drivers on ubuntu
[04:47] <bioterror> Jygen, propietary drivers
[04:57] <Jygen> there isnt a sudo command for it
[04:57] <Jygen> ubuntu isnt detecting my card at all
[04:58] <holstein> Jygen: usually you'll get a pop-up about restricted drivers
[04:59] <holstein> check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1637644
[04:59] <Jygen> well ive googled it
[04:59] <Jygen> and people have gotten the same card i have to work
[04:59] <holstein> and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[04:59] <Jygen> but i cant figure out how they did it
[04:59] <Jygen> thanks
[04:59] <holstein> sure
[05:00] <holstein> Jygen: its working in some capacity right?
[05:00] <holstein> just no 3d?
[05:00] <holstein> i had a 92something
[05:00] <holstein> 9250 maybe
[05:00] <holstein> i didnt get 3d going on it
[05:00] <holstein> anyways, good luck :)
[05:01] <holstein> search around for bug reports
[05:01] <Jygen> im not lookin for 3d just better display
[05:01] <Jygen> but thanks
[05:01] <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
[05:02] <holstein> i would try them all
[05:02] <holstein> its an easy way to try different kernel versions
[05:03] <Jygen> alright
[05:03] <holstein> try them live
[05:14] <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
[05:27] <Jygen> finally
[05:27] <Jygen> i have to download build essentials i guess
[05:30] <Jygen> hey holstein
[05:31] <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
[05:32] <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
[05:45] <Jygen> i give up
[05:45] <Jygen> i cant get the driver to install
[05:45] <holstein> Jygen: with?
[05:46] <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
[05:47] <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
[05:48] <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
[05:49] <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?
[05:50] <holstein> check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingRunPackage
[05:52] <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
[05:53] <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
[05:54] <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
[05:55] <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*
[05:56] <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
[05:57] <holstein> Jygen: good luck
[06:04] <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
[06:05] <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
[06:06] <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
[06:07] <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*
[06:09] <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
[06:10] <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
[06:11] <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
[06:13] <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
[06:14] <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
[06:15] <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?
[06:16] <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
[06:17] <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
[06:18] <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
[06:19] <Jygen> alright
[06:19] <holstein> gotta do something :)
[06:19] <holstein> cant just sit there waiting on it
[06:20] <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
[06:21] <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
[06:22] <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
[06:23] <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
[06:24] <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 :)
[06:25] <holstein> anyways, im out
[06:25] <holstein> Jygen: good luck
[06:25] <Jygen> alright
[06:25] <Jygen> thanks
[06:25] <holstein> you'll get it sorted out :)
[06:28] <CannonFodda> 10.10 new wubi install says wireless is disabled. where do i enable it?
[06:32] <CannonFodda> i've installed drivers recommended by the additional drivers app. rebooted setup ssid etc but still no go
[06:37] <seidos> CannonFodda: what wireless chipset?
[06:39] <CannonFodda> forgotten how to check. got a million pages open
[06:39] <CannonFodda> driver is broadcom sta wireless driver
[06:40] <CannonFodda> seidos: driver is broadcom sta wireless driver
[06:42] <CannonFodda> i'm not sure how to find exact details though
[06:46] <CannonFodda> seidos: sorry rebooted modem forgot it made the internet work ;)
[06:48] <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
[06:49] <CannonFodda> is it just the driver that disables the hardware?
[06:49] <CannonFodda> it says the driver is activated???
[06:50] <seidos> CannonFodda: you need to make sure the right driver for your chipset is loaded
[06:50] <seidos> CannonFodda: at least, that's what i would do
[06:51] <CannonFodda> seidos: how can i interrogate the hardware to check what chipset it is?
[06:52] <seidos> CannonFodda: you can do lspci and sudo lshw
[06:53] <CannonFodda> seidos: broadcom corp bcm4312
[06:54] <CannonFodda> this is the installed driver
[06:54] <CannonFodda> sorry
[06:54] <CannonFodda> chipset & driver match
[07:19] <seidos> CannonFodda: sorry went afk
[07:26] <CannonFodda> seidos: it appears that i have the correct wireles driver
[07:27] <seidos> CannonFodda: i am researching wubi.  can you try a live cd? or live usb?

[07:54] <MrChrisDruif> !wine | UbuntuN00b
[07:54] <ubot2> UbuntuN00b: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu
[07:55] <UbuntuN00b> yeah i been checking the forms
[07:56] <MrChrisDruif> Alright, well if anyone knows, it would be them :)
[07:56] <UbuntuN00b> kk

[07:58] <CannonFodda> \join winehq
[07:58] <UbuntuN00b> i already asked in there
[07:58] <CannonFodda> \join #winehq

[20:04] <UbuntuN00b> anybody try running quake 4 or doom3 on a netbook with an intel gma video card?
[20:06] <bioterror> UbuntuN00b, why bother
[20:07] <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
[20:09] <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
[20:10] <bioterror> 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[20:11] <bioterror> I have that, and I can say it's far from god's gift to humankind
[20:11] <UbuntuN00b> lol
[20:12] <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
[20:14] <bioterror> UbuntuN00b, I bet you're pushing the limits. sure you can try. I bet you can only have positive suprises
[20:16] <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
[20:17] <bioterror> it's the drivers that matters
[20:17] <UbuntuN00b> kk
[20:19] <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
[20:26] <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
[21:39] <AJH101> hi guys - ow to restore my skype icon to the panel please?
