UndiFineDthanks AlanBell 01:01
UndiFineDbtw I just spoke with silver-fox about the accessibility of ubuntuforums.org , let him run it through achecker.ca , he will file a bug tomorrow about it01:02
UndiFineDthe problem is in vbulletin 01:03

MrChrisDruifMaking good use of the new pad I see UndiFineD 10:16
UndiFineD:)10:18
UndiFineDmay be the best way to put some focus on it10:19
MrChrisDruifYup, just start to use it. Just like paste.ubuntu.com10:21
jbichaand it's not obvious, but you can pick your own name for a pad, just go to http://paste.ubuntu.com/whatever10:45
jbicha(that page doesn't exist of course)10:45
UndiFineDjbicha, you mean like this ? http://pad.ubuntu.com/ep/pad/create?padId=ducksauce10:47
jbichayes10:48
JanCpad.ubuntu.com doesn't seem to work very well here?10:51
webczatHey.10:57
AlanBellJanC: how so?11:06
JanCit always says it gets disconnect almost immediately...11:07
JanC"""Disconnected.11:07
JanCLost connection with the EtherPad synchronization server. This may be due to a loss of network connectivity."""11:07
JanChm, seems like restarting Firefox solved this, weird11:11
UndiFineDI have no idea how to fix speechdispatcher11:56
UndiFineDclient: Speech Dispatcher failed to open: No such file or directory11:56
UndiFineDif only i knew what file or cennection11:57
=== API is now known as apinheiro
AlanBellUndiFineD: what have you done so far?12:11
UndiFineDi tried tried several options12:13
UndiFineDunix vs inet sockets 12:13
AlanBellno, start at the beginning12:13
UndiFineDturning of espeak and use festival instead12:13
AlanBellyou had a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10?12:13
UndiFineDnever :)12:13
AlanBell11.04?12:13
UndiFineD10.1012:13
UndiFineDbut never clean12:13
AlanBellok, but it is regular gnome Ubuntu12:14
UndiFineDtoo much missing apps12:14
UndiFineDyes12:14
AlanBellok, and sound works?12:14
UndiFineDnot on my system, but it does on the laptop for hajour12:15
UndiFineD2 soundcards bite eachouther 12:15
UndiFineDbut just getting rid of this message would be great12:15
AlanBellso you have broken sound12:16
AlanBellit is quite possibly failing to open /dev/dsp or something like that12:16
AlanBellthe sound output device might be the "missing file"12:16
UndiFineDls -al /dev/dsp12:16
UndiFineDls: cannot access /dev/dsp: No such file or directory12:16
UndiFineD:/12:16
AlanBellforget speech dispatcher and fix sound first12:16
UndiFineDok12:17
AlanBellyeah, it isn't dsp, I got that bit wrong12:17
AlanBellbut the principal still stands!12:17
MrChrisDruifFree as in speech is a principal12:20
UndiFineDremoved one soundcard12:24
UndiFineDbut the onboard does not seem to be working12:24

ubot2If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.13:16
