philipballewhey holstein you around?00:13
holsteinphilipballew: i am... whats up?00:13
philipballewi'm makin my ubuntu wiki better and was wondering how yo did your box's at the top so nice?00:15
philipballewyour kinda a pro at that part00:16
holsteinphilipballew: i actually stole them from someone00:16
holsteinwith permission00:16
holsteinphilipballew: you can just hit the edit button and grab what you like :)00:16
holsteinand edit it to fit what you need00:16
holsteini used the beginners team header becuase i thought it was most appropriate00:17
philipballewalright :)00:17
philipballewsounds good00:17
NeoncamouflageAnybody here know where I might find the sound device location in Ubuntu 10.10? Was told to check /dev/dsp and /dev/sound/dsp but I have neither.00:57
holsteinNeoncamouflage: i would try a few things... open a terminal and type00:58
holsteinlspci00:58
holsteinif its a usb interface, use lsusb00:58
holsteinyou want to see it one of those places... then.. you want to run these 200:59
holsteinaplay -l00:59
holsteinarecord -l00:59
holsteinfeel free to pastebin any of that Neoncamouflage and i'll see if i can help interpret00:59
NeoncamouflageA Python module called tkSnack needs access to my sound device, what I"m trying to find here. I'll see if I can find it in the list.01:00
holsteinNeoncamouflage: so, you have sound?01:00
holsteinthis is not a 'i dont have sound' issue?01:01
NeoncamouflageOh, no, I already had that issue, solved it myself.01:01
holstein:)01:01
NeoncamouflageThis is an issue of tkSnack needing to be able to utilize my speakers, and it's unable to do so01:01
holsteinNeoncamouflage: not sure if i'll be much help with the coding... i'll leave it to some others :)01:01
NeoncamouflageWell my only issue is locating where my sound device is01:01
Neoncamouflagelooked it up, but it01:01
Neoncamouflages not in the two directories it's supposed to be01:02
holsteinNeoncamouflage: you can pop in #opensourcemusicians real quick and ask01:04
holsteinNeoncamouflage: someone in #ardour might know as well, but thats pretty far OT01:05
NeoncamouflageCool, thanks01:07
ktwohig9hello folks: ubuntu 11.04 installed 7 days ago. Sony F series laptop. Hooked up to panasonic 32" TV via HDMI - video is fine, no audio. Any ideas?02:34
holsteinktwohig9: sure02:37
holsteinopen up a terminal... run the command02:37
holsteinaplay -l02:37
holsteinsee if you see anything there02:38
holsteintheres some great tips here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting02:38
ktwohig92 devices intel based, 4 devices nvidia02:38
holsteinktwohig9: thats good02:39
ktwohig9nvidia seems to be the HDMI02:39
holsteinktwohig9: get some headphones, and make sure the sound works otherwise02:39
holsteini would be *very* surprised if that audio works out of HDMI02:39
ktwohig9yes i can get sound via headphones or the laptop's speakers02:39
holsteinktwohig9: i would just get that kind of adapter, and run that audio to whatever02:40
ktwohig9oh ok. Kinda figured that but since it works in win 7 I figured worth a shot02:40
holsteinyou should let nvidia know02:40
ktwohig9I will and thanks02:41
holsteinktwohig9: sure :)02:41
holsteinyou could poke around for bug reports too02:41
holsteinim not 100% by any means02:41
jpkI'm trying to figure out what I need to run on the ubuntu side so I can use my RealVnc client on my XP box?03:15
holsteinjpk: depends on what version you are running03:15
holsteini use whats built in to lucid03:15
holsteinfrom the terminal... vino-preferences03:16
jpkubuntu 11.0403:16
holsteinyou can install vino if you dont have it03:16
bodhizazendoh - not vino03:16
holsteinyou can just any vnc server in the repos though03:16
holsteinbodhizazen: what is it now?03:16
bodhizazenfreenx03:16
bodhizazenvnc / vino is insecure03:17
holsteinwell... im assuming its local03:17
bodhizazen'lo holstein03:17
jpkI downloaded x11VNC server but not sure how or if compatible with RealVNC on windows side03:17
holsteini shouldnt though...03:17
holsteinbodhizazen: o/03:17
holsteinjpk: it should work fine03:17
holsteinyou can try it and see03:17
bodhizazenyes but if the route has UPnP you are sort of opening a deep , dark pit03:17
bodhizazenit is jpk03:17
bodhizazenx11vnc uses a shared X11 session, so you will have to be logged in @ ubuntu03:18
Unit193Or run it with root to get to GDM03:18
jpkThis is internal network and I can ping my ubuntu box from my windows machine03:18
bodhizazenjpk, be sure to firewall it03:19
bodhizazeniptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5900:5910 -s ! 192.168.0.0/24 -j DROP03:20
jpkConfused - What do I run on the ubuntu side? Do I download the RealVnc Server?03:21
jpkI don't want to open any dark pit.03:23
bodhizazenhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers#x11vnc03:23
bodhizazenVNC is the most common crack on the ubuntu forums as it is insecure03:23
bodhizazenYou really should use ssh03:23
bodhizazenor freenx, freenx is both faster and more secure03:23
holsteinyeah, jpk, i was assuming you were local when i suggested vino03:24
bodhizazenIf you are going to use a vnc server on your lan, you need to firewall it03:24
Unit193But doesn't always work03:24
bodhizazeniptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5900:5910 -s ! 192.168.0.0/24 -j DROP03:24
bodhizazenAlso, does your router have UPnP ?03:24
bodhizazenyou should disable that ( UPnP )03:25
bodhizazenUnit193, nothing always works =)03:25
Unit193bodhizazen: I was kinda sad that I couldn't use *NX03:25
bodhizazenhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX03:25
bodhizazenFreenx is a bit of a hassle to set up, granted, but it is a faster protocol and more secure, so it is sort of a win win03:26
Unit193Didn't exactly work with Xubuntu though03:27
bioterrorI've never really seen the benefit for remote desktop in *nix03:28
jpkI just want to be able to see my ubuntu desktop from my windows xp box using RealVNC viewer free Edition03:28
bioterroras the shell is more powerfull03:28
bioterrorhardly nothing I cannot do03:28
bodhizazenjpk, I understand that, it is easy to do, but you need to be sure to secure it =)03:29
bioterror"oh you could add torrents to your client!" but that can be done with http ;)03:29
holsteintheres always teamviewer :)03:29
bodhizazenjpk, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers#x11vnc03:29
bodhizazenteamviewer is nice03:29
holsteini dont leave it on, but i leave it installed on most boxes i work on now03:30
jpkbodhizazen - my modem has UPnP03:30
jpkIs that what you mean by securing?03:31
bodhizazendo you know what UPnP is jpk ?03:31
jpkNot really03:31
bodhizazen=)03:31
holsteinuniversal plug n play?03:31
holsteinauto detection?03:31
bodhizazenhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Plug_and_Play03:31
holsteincool :)03:31
jpkI see that03:31
holsteini know enough to be dangerous on a network03:31
jpkDoes that allow other to see into my lan?03:32
bodhizazenIt means you router detects servers, like say VNC, and automatically forwards them, meaning they are accessible outside you LAN03:32
bodhizazenMakes the LAN "easy" to use03:32
bodhizazena little too easy03:32
jpkSo disable and use vino03:32
bodhizazendisable UPnP yes03:33
bodhizazenthen you should be "OK" with vino03:33
jpkI'll disable then try the vino, thanks03:34
jpkVino is freeware03:34
bodhizazenyes03:34
bodhizazenvino is the default VNC server in Ubuntu03:34
jpkMaybe it is already on here?03:34
jpkYes/NO?03:35
holsteini can only say for sure about lucid03:35
holsteinand its in there by default03:35
holsteini havent looked/noticed since then03:35
jpkWhen I typed it in I got Remote Desktop03:36
jpkCan I use Remote Desktop?03:36
bodhizazenRemote Desktop == vino03:36
jpkAny configuration?03:37
bodhizazenset a password =)03:37
jpkDo I just start it up?03:37
holsteintry running vino-preferences03:38
jpkFrom a command line03:38
bodhizazenhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers#vino03:38
holsteinjpk: however you want to run it... alt+F2, terminal, its in the menu somewhere... remote desktop? something like that03:38
jpkthanks03:40

philinuxraubvogel: try this from the terminal. sudo apt-get install --reinstall wpasupplicant14:23
raubvogelphilinux: done14:24
raubvogelnow try again?14:24
philinuxyep14:24
philinuxyou may need to reboot dunno14:25
raubvogelIt did not work; let's try rebooting first14:26
raubvogelDid not work.14:29
raubvogelIf it is relevant I am using the broadcom b43 proprietary driver14:29
raubvogelsince this is a 4312 LP-PHY card14:30
