| Geodude | I bought a new headset and my mic is not working. The sound control panel is not letting me switch the "choose sound input" to "headset" like it does with my old headset. | 03:22 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | Geodude: did you save the reciept? | 03:23 |
| Geodude | it says "internal audio analog stereo" | 03:23 |
| Geodude | Yes. | 03:23 |
| holstein | you cant look at pavucontrol | 03:23 |
| Geodude | At first it was only working out of one side of the headset, now it's fine. | 03:23 |
| holstein | you can run arecord -l and see it its listed | 03:24 |
| holstein | i usually test with live CD's | 03:24 |
| holstein | different kernels, or different ALSA versions... its easier for me to just use live CD's | 03:24 |
| Geodude | Now it's working. uhg. | 03:27 |
| holstein | Geodude: GREAT NEWS! | 03:27 |
| Geodude | So weird. | 03:27 |
| Geodude | It just needed a hot minute. | 03:28 |
| * philipballew needs to learn to troubleshoot as well as holstein | 03:32 | |

| BlueProtoman | I've got a bit of a problem...last night I got a new laptop. It came with Windows 7, so I used UNetBootin and my dad's flash drive to install Ubuntu. But it ran too late into the night, so I let it copy to the flash drive as I sleep. But now, Windows 7 is mysteriously gone. Trying UNetBootin again copies Ubuntu directly to the flash drive successfully...but I can't install it onto my laptop! It gives me the "select an op | 13:56 |
| BlueProtoman | I really need to get this laptop up and running, this weekend is the only spare time I have for a while! | 13:57 |
| BlueProtoman | Anyone? | 14:02 |
| BlueProtoman | The Powers That Be don't seem to want me to use Linux... | 14:06 |
| Abhijit | what? | 14:07 |
| Abhijit | windows 7 is in your internal hdd and you used unetbootin for pen drive | 14:08 |
| Abhijit | how this can cause any damage to windows? | 14:08 |
| Abhijit | BlueProtoman, ?? | 14:09 |
| BlueProtoman | I have no idea. More likely, it involved my battery (I left it unplugged thinking it would finish installing to the flash drive). | 14:09 |
| Abhijit | i dont know what caused the windows to vanish but now as you say its gone you first install windows and then install ubuntu | 14:10 |
| BlueProtoman | Yes, but I've refreshed Windows now. | 14:13 |
| Abhijit | so there is windows now? | 14:13 |
| BlueProtoman | I'm going through the First Boot again. | 14:13 |
| BlueProtoman | Yes. | 14:14 |
| Abhijit | then just make another partition and install ubuntu there | 14:14 |
| Sidewinder1 | It's not really a problem but I was wondering, why, occasionally when I mount external esata/usb hard drives (through Places-->Mount 1TB Filesystem) two instances of Nautilus opens with the associated directory structures. It only happens about 30% of the time and seems to be totally random. (10.04 i386 desktop) | 17:10 |
| Sidewinder1 | Crosspost, I know, but I waited, unsuccessfully for about a half hour prior to asking here. | 17:11 |

| Radios | just what beginners need forget VPN | 23:32 |
| stlsaint | ha...another vulnerabiliy for hackers to exploit | 23:33 |
| Radios | ~vulnerability ? | 23:35 |
| stlsaint | yes | 23:37 |
| Radios | its feature | 23:37 |
| Radios | have you tested it? | 23:38 |
| stlsaint | nope | 23:38 |
| stlsaint | but if your system is compromised than you exchange access codes and that code is sniffed than an attacker just gained access to the remote system | 23:39 |
| Radios | so you cant say its a vuknerability | 23:39 |
| Radios | if our system is comrmied its ot tha aictons fault | 23:40 |
| stlsaint | well to me anything on the net is a potential vulnerability | 23:41 |
| Radios | you might as well disconect alltoghether from the internet if you think like that | 23:41 |
| Radios | do yu realize we live in th cloud? | 23:41 |
| stlsaint | no, i take security measures and tend to think like a "blackhat" to prevent such actions as much as possible | 23:42 |
| Radios | good luck with that | 23:42 |
| stlsaint | Radios: hey do me a favor please and join channel #ubuntu-beginners-team | 23:42 |
| stlsaint | Radios: wanna keep this room open for support really | 23:42 |
| Radios | you are just making your self noticed and becoming a higr rat target | 23:43 |
| Radios | you know the more you do to hide the more they look for a way in | 23:43 |
| Radios | you are only making it hard for your self | 23:44 |
| stlsaint | Radios: join #ubuntu-beginners-team | 23:45 |
| Radios | why? | 23:45 |
| stlsaint | this channel is our primary support channel, the ubuntu-beginners-team channel is more offtopic based | 23:45 |
| stlsaint | there we can continue the conversation | 23:45 |
