=== saidinesh is now known as saidinesh5 [04:25] testing [04:25] Zburatorul: working [04:45] thanks [04:46] i just configured my irc client to use freenode thru tor [04:46] Seems to be working fine. [04:46] Good luck with it. [09:34] hi all [09:38] 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? [14:05] bunty: ? [14:06] personally, i wouldnt lose sleep over getting anything from creative working [14:07] 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 [14:08] sorry was afk [14:08] turns out i had a different capture device [14:09] now im just using the audigy card as the sol device [14:09] yeah, those labels can be incorrect too [14:09] cool.. check out #opensourcemusicians :) [14:10] ok, im in ardour atm [14:10] i gots lots to learn [21:12] hey... on what channel to put kernel related questions..... [21:13] #ubuntu-kernel [21:13] thanks.... [21:29] sad.... did'nt got any response... [21:29] mak_ubu10: whats up? [21:30] hey... on what channel to put kernel related questions..... [21:30] mak_ubu10: depends really [21:30] i went to #ubuntu-kernel [21:30] if you are asking the UKT about -lowlatency or -realtime, you probably wont get a response [21:30] whats the question? [21:31] my problem is that my computer waits for 25 minutes during boot....right after the "loading hardware drivers" step..... [21:32] mak_ubu10: you wait 25 minutes for your machine to boot? [21:32] thats patients ;) [21:32] yes.... [21:32] mak_ubu10: have you looked for a bug relating to your hardware? [21:33] have you tried disabling hardware to see what seems to be causing the issue? [21:33] have you tried different kernels? [21:33] but it boots.... [21:33] like 10.04 live [21:33] even 8.04 live [21:34] mak_ubu10: you're not going to catch an UKT member on the IRC to discuss that with [21:34] best case scenario, you get one to respond to a forum post, or email thread [21:34] actually... i have two HDD... one of them is a little corrupted.... [21:34] mak_ubu10: ?? [21:34] theres no such thing [21:34] that'll cause the machine to hang [21:35] mak_ubu10: unplug the hard drives [21:35] try a live CD [21:35] and then you'll know what the cause is [21:36] 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] lol [21:36] mak_ubu10: nothing about the kernel will let you use bad hardware* [21:36] linux is just awesome, not magic [21:37] use something like http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec if you have to [21:37] i thinki just want to know the kernel parameters that will skip the regular steps to test each and every HDD [21:37] and get your data off, and fix it, or replace it [21:37] mak_ubu10: just unplug it, boot, and use something via USB [21:38] or something like http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ [21:39] isnt there any parameter that can skip the HDD integrity check or something like that.... [21:39] mak_ubu10: probably, but i dont know what it is [21:40] and, thats not something you want to do long-term [21:40] i would have to wait a month for a new hdd [21:40] mak_ubu10: you wont be waiting long at all when it stops working altogether* [21:41] maybe you can do something tricky like shrink the partition [21:41] and get around the bad sectors ;) [21:41] any of that kind of thing should be an emergency case to recover the data [21:41] if that drive is dying, you cant trust it for anything anyways [21:42] actually windows boots faster with the bad hdd plugged....so i thought linux can too.... [21:42] its not an issue of booting [21:42] btw... how to know about bad sectors.... [21:43] its either its dying or its not [21:43] mak_ubu10: i use http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ [21:43] theres a utility on the ubuntu live CD's to scan as well [21:43] i used UBCD and its diagnosis tools... [21:43] mak_ubu10: windows is maybe not checking the drive [21:44] it didnt help me.... [21:44] mak_ubu10: ?? [21:44] its not *magic* [21:44] thats what i m talking about... [21:44] theres not a way to *fix* it [21:44] you just learn that its dying [21:44] get the data off [21:44] i want linux to do the same.... [21:44] and move on [21:44] mak_ubu10: you'll need to search around and ask someone else how to do that [21:44] im not sure [21:44] AND [21:44] again, thats something you *dont* want turned off in the long term [21:45] i feel like you are wanting to just use the drive [21:45] and you cant [21:45] if its dying, its dying [21:45] i mean, you might get some data to read or write to it for who knows how long [21:45] it is 500G with more than 8 operating systems on it [21:45] mak_ubu10: doesnt matter whats on it [21:45] thats why you need good backups* [21:47] its a tough lesson, but hard drives die [21:47] its not a matter of if they die [21:47] its when [21:48] need to buy a lot of DVDs then... but i m more worried about the Opearting systems... [21:48] you should be worried about the DAT [21:48] A [21:49] you should feel fortunate if you get that data recovered [21:49] its tough when you have a lot of proprietary OS's [21:49] they dont like to be moved around easily for legal reasons [21:49] you can basically dd copy linux installs [21:50] not sure about windows [21:50] still, you dont know what is corrupted on the disc now anyways [21:50] SO, for me, i wouldnt trust anything as far as in the OS's [21:59] @holstein... thanx for the answers.... and sorry for disturbing...... bye.....
