| Zburatorul | i just configured my irc client to use freenode thru tor | 04:46 |
| charlie-tca | Seems to be working fine. | 04:46 |
| charlie-tca | Good luck with it. | 04:46 |
| bunty | hi all | 09:34 |
| bunty | when i use hardware synth ( soundblaster card ) in rosegarden I can't record it's master output in Ardour. However if I use a software synth I can. Any ideas how I can fix this? | 09:38 |
| holstein | bunty: ? | 14:05 |
| holstein | personally, i wouldnt lose sleep over getting anything from creative working | 14:06 |
| holstein | bunty: i have an old soundblaster card around the house somewhere, so if you'd like to elaborate, or start a bug report, i could try to get involved | 14:07 |
| bunty | sorry was afk | 14:08 |
| bunty | turns out i had a different capture device | 14:08 |
| bunty | now im just using the audigy card as the sol device | 14:09 |
| holstein | yeah, those labels can be incorrect too | 14:09 |
| holstein | cool.. check out #opensourcemusicians :) | 14:09 |
| bunty | ok, im in ardour atm | 14:10 |
| bunty | i gots lots to learn | 14:10 |
| mak_ubu10 | hey... on what channel to put kernel related questions..... | 21:12 |
| charlie-tca | #ubuntu-kernel | 21:13 |
| mak_ubu10 | thanks.... | 21:13 |
| mak_ubu10 | sad.... did'nt got any response... | 21:29 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: whats up? | 21:29 |
| mak_ubu10 | hey... on what channel to put kernel related questions..... | 21:30 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: depends really | 21:30 |
| mak_ubu10 | i went to #ubuntu-kernel | 21:30 |
| holstein | if you are asking the UKT about -lowlatency or -realtime, you probably wont get a response | 21:30 |
| holstein | whats the question? | 21:30 |
| mak_ubu10 | my problem is that my computer waits for 25 minutes during boot....right after the "loading hardware drivers" step..... | 21:31 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: you wait 25 minutes for your machine to boot? | 21:32 |
| holstein | thats patients ;) | 21:32 |
| mak_ubu10 | yes.... | 21:32 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: have you looked for a bug relating to your hardware? | 21:32 |
| holstein | have you tried disabling hardware to see what seems to be causing the issue? | 21:33 |
| holstein | have you tried different kernels? | 21:33 |
| mak_ubu10 | but it boots.... | 21:33 |
| holstein | like 10.04 live | 21:33 |
| holstein | even 8.04 live | 21:33 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: you're not going to catch an UKT member on the IRC to discuss that with | 21:34 |
| holstein | best case scenario, you get one to respond to a forum post, or email thread | 21:34 |
| mak_ubu10 | actually... i have two HDD... one of them is a little corrupted.... | 21:34 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: ?? | 21:34 |
| holstein | theres no such thing | 21:34 |
| holstein | that'll cause the machine to hang | 21:34 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: unplug the hard drives | 21:35 |
| holstein | try a live CD | 21:35 |
| holstein | and then you'll know what the cause is | 21:35 |
| mak_ubu10 | it works fine when i unplug the bad one.... but it waits when the bad one is inserted.... even when the os is not on it.... | 21:36 |
| holstein | lol | 21:36 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: nothing about the kernel will let you use bad hardware* | 21:36 |
| holstein | linux is just awesome, not magic | 21:36 |
| holstein | use something like http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec if you have to | 21:37 |
| mak_ubu10 | i thinki just want to know the kernel parameters that will skip the regular steps to test each and every HDD | 21:37 |
| holstein | and get your data off, and fix it, or replace it | 21:37 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: just unplug it, boot, and use something via USB | 21:37 |
| holstein | or something like http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ | 21:38 |
| mak_ubu10 | isnt there any parameter that can skip the HDD integrity check or something like that.... | 21:39 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: probably, but i dont know what it is | 21:39 |
| holstein | and, thats not something you want to do long-term | 21:40 |
| mak_ubu10 | i would have to wait a month for a new hdd | 21:40 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: you wont be waiting long at all when it stops working altogether* | 21:40 |
| holstein | maybe you can do something tricky like shrink the partition | 21:41 |
| holstein | and get around the bad sectors ;) | 21:41 |
| holstein | any of that kind of thing should be an emergency case to recover the data | 21:41 |
| holstein | if that drive is dying, you cant trust it for anything anyways | 21:41 |
| mak_ubu10 | actually windows boots faster with the bad hdd plugged....so i thought linux can too.... | 21:42 |
| holstein | its not an issue of booting | 21:42 |
| mak_ubu10 | btw... how to know about bad sectors.... | 21:42 |
| holstein | its either its dying or its not | 21:43 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: i use http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ | 21:43 |
| holstein | theres a utility on the ubuntu live CD's to scan as well | 21:43 |
| mak_ubu10 | i used UBCD and its diagnosis tools... | 21:43 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: windows is maybe not checking the drive | 21:43 |
| mak_ubu10 | it didnt help me.... | 21:44 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: ?? | 21:44 |
| holstein | its not *magic* | 21:44 |
| mak_ubu10 | thats what i m talking about... | 21:44 |
| holstein | theres not a way to *fix* it | 21:44 |
| holstein | you just learn that its dying | 21:44 |
| holstein | get the data off | 21:44 |
| mak_ubu10 | i want linux to do the same.... | 21:44 |
| holstein | and move on | 21:44 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: you'll need to search around and ask someone else how to do that | 21:44 |
| holstein | im not sure | 21:44 |
| holstein | AND | 21:44 |
| holstein | again, thats something you *dont* want turned off in the long term | 21:44 |
| holstein | i feel like you are wanting to just use the drive | 21:45 |
| holstein | and you cant | 21:45 |
| holstein | if its dying, its dying | 21:45 |
| holstein | i mean, you might get some data to read or write to it for who knows how long | 21:45 |
| mak_ubu10 | it is 500G with more than 8 operating systems on it | 21:45 |
| holstein | mak_ubu10: doesnt matter whats on it | 21:45 |
| holstein | thats why you need good backups* | 21:45 |
| holstein | its a tough lesson, but hard drives die | 21:47 |
| holstein | its not a matter of if they die | 21:47 |
| holstein | its when | 21:47 |
| mak_ubu10 | need to buy a lot of DVDs then... but i m more worried about the Opearting systems... | 21:48 |
| holstein | you should be worried about the DAT | 21:48 |
| holstein | A | 21:48 |
| holstein | you should feel fortunate if you get that data recovered | 21:49 |
| holstein | its tough when you have a lot of proprietary OS's | 21:49 |
| holstein | they dont like to be moved around easily for legal reasons | 21:49 |
| holstein | you can basically dd copy linux installs | 21:49 |
| holstein | not sure about windows | 21:50 |
| holstein | still, you dont know what is corrupted on the disc now anyways | 21:50 |
| holstein | SO, for me, i wouldnt trust anything as far as in the OS's | 21:50 |
| mak_ubu10 | @holstein... thanx for the answers.... and sorry for disturbing...... bye..... | 21:59 |
