Thanks [00:06] <^waffles> hi guys [00:06] <^waffles> i'm trying to recover a corrupt root.disk from a wubi installation of kubuntu [00:06] <^waffles> well, i think it is corrupt [00:07] <^waffles> when i run any fsck, i get a bad magic number in super block error [00:09] <^waffles> i'm still offering $100.00 to someone who can help me recover these files [00:11] redeyyez, the nvidia driver to use is the recommended one... the other , if there is one, it might be an experimental driver which will surely crash your system. [00:18] ^waffles, pls describe your boot process , and do you get bootloader menu ?, namely grub iirc it even installs on wubi. [00:18] <^waffles> i am dual booting windows 7 and kubuntu, had been working fine for about 3-4 months, first time booting today in 2 weeks and i was brought to a grub prompt (instead of loader screen) [00:18] <^waffles> in the past two weeks i've upgraded to windows 7 sp1 [00:19] <^waffles> the boot process was normally like this, windows boot loader -> chose kubuntu, then from grub select linux [00:19] <^waffles> now, after selecting kubuntu from windows boot loader, i get a grub prompt [00:19] <^waffles> i can't open root.disk in any ext3explore etc [00:20] I thought you had a wubi install , that' not dual booting [00:20] <^waffles> yes its a wubi install [00:20] <^waffles> well it's installed alongside, whatever [00:20] <^waffles> i'll be back in about 15 minutes BluesKaj i'll msg you? [00:24] wubi is not a dual boot, let's be clear on that ...we need to know exactly what kind of setup you have before we can proceed ..."whatever" doesn't cut it in these situations [00:26] BluesKaj: we've been as far as determining this being a Wubi install earlier today already.. and as far as I understand the Wubi docs, it's standard behaviour that the Wubi installer creates a boot option for *buntu in the Windows bootloader [00:35] yes szal , I've used wubi , but we have to be sure that's what is ...unfortunately that makes this more complicated...he should be able to see the ubuntu files in windows, but I'm wondering if he can access them [00:39] ok. stick a fork in it [00:40] there is no way to get this damn artigo video to work with a linux driver unless i run some ancient version when via was actually supporting it [00:40] lame [00:40] guess i will try windows 7 home on it [00:42] that's a shame , Macer [00:45] anyway, that's it for me today .... movietime , later folks [00:46] it sure is a shame [00:46] it would have made for an awesome box [00:46] but they used this crap obscure s3 video card and then didn't support it past ubuntu 8 or something :) [00:46] lame sauce [00:51] Macer: the S3 is so old, there were Win16 drivers for it [00:51] iirc [01:19] szal: heh [01:19] well.. unichromes aren't really too old === gpc is now known as IdleOne [01:49] who know ubuntu10.04 how to protect stack?

[06:45] i have servers which i access using keybased ssh..gnome used to save the passphrase in gnome-ssh-agent..and it was out of the box, i didn ve to configure anythng there.. how to do this in kde..i ve not used kde much.. [06:55] can some1 suggest a sound recorder in kde?? [07:04] I have fresh installation of Kubuntu 10.10 (64bit) [07:04] I can see my sound card identified by linux but still unable to play any file. . [07:05] cyberbob, is all volume turned on? [07:06] No sound channel muted? [07:06] yes all are [07:07] there is a builtin speaker in my machine but no voice from that as well as from sound jacks. . [07:07] yes no channel is muted [07:07] in 10.10 I had to unmute in Alsamixer [07:07] all the time [07:07] so you might check it -- run alsamixer in the console [07:08] you use arrow keys to move arround, and m = mute [07:08] valorie: I have adopted the same practice unmuted all channels . . [07:09] cool [07:09] have you installed or uninstalled pulseaudio? [07:09] but still no luck !! [07:10] i've always had good luck with PA, but some people must uninstall it [07:11] valorie: it is fresh installation I just installed mpg123 to listen my favorite mp3's [07:13] moreover it is an HP machine dc 5150 [07:17] any idea howto overcome this issue [07:19] after installing an app via wine, what should i do next, it doesn't open trys for a second then diappears.

[07:23] depending on what you are playing it with [07:24] phonon requires different files than just alsa, for instance [07:24] valorie: that is right but when system boots it plays a default sound but in my case nothing. . [07:25] so i think there is some issue else codecs. [07:26] hmmm, I had this problem one time, too [07:26] what did I do about it? [07:26] did you also check Kmix for muted channels? [07:26] so many places things can get muted [07:27] and do you have any hardware buttons that could mute [07:28] valorie: yes I have checked already as in ubuntu we go for graphics controls first than move onto console .. [07:28] this is a desktop machine and nobutton for muting audio .. [07:29] buttons are overrated [07:29] I am thinking of re-installing/updating alsa-base alsa-utils; [07:30] and trying one deadly thing #killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* . Hope that works. .
