| adidas | How does one go about setting up audio drivers on Ubuntu Server on an 6-8 year old dell, and should I be using OSS or ALSA? | 01:00 |
|---|---|---|
| SejmL | hello | 01:48 |
| SejmL | is there any way to change the audio input jack into an output one? | 01:49 |
| holstein | SejmL: you can try JACK, but that hardware | 02:26 |
| holstein | SejmL: i meant to say, thats hardware... that function is going to be hardware AFAIK | 02:37 |
| w47331 | hello all | 07:26 |
| w47331 | http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a20763398876e16c4ff67b07823edd709f4eb7b0 sound help please...i hear nothing | 07:40 |
| MrChrisDruif | Aloha, I've got a problem with grub not finding all installations | 13:10 |
| holstein | hello MrChrisDruif | 13:12 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hai holstein | 13:12 |
| holstein | im about to run out the door, but i would probably try reinstalling grub, then i would just add them manually if they were still not picked up auto-magically | 13:13 |
| holstein | i would be suspicous as to why they are not being picked up though... | 13:13 |
| MrChrisDruif | http://paste.ubuntu.com/705657/ <= sudo fdisk -l | 13:14 |
| geirha | ... and? | 13:24 |
| MrChrisDruif | sda1 is Lubuntu 11.10. sda3 is Ubuntu 11.04 | 13:25 |
| MrChrisDruif | I can only boot to Lubuntu 11.10 | 13:26 |
| MrChrisDruif | And "sudo update-grub" can't seem to find the Ubuntu on sda3, only the two kernel versions for Lubuntu | 13:27 |
| holstein | MrChrisDruif: i think the file you need to edit starts with "#do not edit this file" ;) | 13:30 |
| MrChrisDruif | Yeah, it's always the same !@$# ;-) | 13:31 |
| geirha | MrChrisDruif: Did you install Lubuntu last? | 13:31 |
| holstein | you should see the other entries there, and you can mimic them for the other install thats not getting picked up | 13:31 |
| geirha | And during the install, did you specify where to install grub? | 13:31 |
| geirha | If not, then Lubuntu can't find Ubuntu, because Lubuntu's grub overwrote Ubuntu's. | 13:32 |
| holstein | but, it should just search all drives for kernels right? | 13:32 |
| MrChrisDruif | I thought I told the installer to install them side-by-side <_<" | 13:32 |
| holstein | osprober or whatever it is looks for installs not boot entries right? | 13:32 |
| MrChrisDruif | Thought so, and it is installed | 13:33 |
| geirha | I thought it only looked for bootloaders | 13:33 |
| MrChrisDruif | How would it find Windows then? | 13:33 |
| holstein | geirha: and thats more of a question really... | 13:33 |
| holstein | im not 100% on that | 13:33 |
| geirha | If it did search for kernels, how would it know which partitions to use as root for those kernels? | 13:34 |
| pip__ | holstein: are you in the room? | 13:34 |
| holstein | pip__: for a bit... whats up? | 13:35 |
| pip__ | oh nothing, you gave me a tip the other day, graphics probs | 13:35 |
| pip__ | thought I'd update you | 13:35 |
| geirha | MrChrisDruif: Windows will have a bootloader of sorts on the partition. | 13:35 |
| holstein | sure... how goes the battle pip__ ? | 13:35 |
| geirha | MrChrisDruif: Chroot into the Ubuntu system and install its grub on /dev/sda1 | 13:36 |
| pip__ | lol, so-so. I can't enable desktop effects in a live 10.10 environment, but a live 11.04 environment runs Unity | 13:36 |
| pip__ | any idea what that's about? | 13:36 |
| pip__ | the internet seems less 'wobbly' with 11.04 too | 13:37 |
| holstein | pip__: kernel verion? maybe something about the drivers for your hardware | 13:37 |
| pip__ | ah, you know I wasn't bright enough to note them :-/ | 13:38 |
| holstein | pip__: i could imagine some ATI hardware that would only work with the proprietary driver getting open driver support in a newer kernel verion | 13:38 |
| holstein | version* | 13:38 |
| holstein | pip__: eh... its a live CD.. you can do it next time :) | 13:38 |
| pip__ | I'm pretty certain that the 10.10 kernel version that wouldn't give effects was 2.6.35, that was on a real install | 13:39 |
| holstein | im just speculating though... | 13:39 |
| pip__ | lol, it's better than nothing at this point | 13:40 |
| holstein | no reason *not* to install 11.10 now though | 13:40 |
| pip__ | well, that's exactly what I'm thinking | 13:40 |
| holstein | or, just dont do compiz | 13:40 |
| pip__ | but compiz is soooooooooooooooo pretty | 13:40 |
| holstein | wobbly windows are fun and all, but i dont use compiz on everything | 13:40 |
| pip__ | I don'tdoowobbly, mainly the cube & some emerald decoration TBH | 13:41 |
| pip__ | don'tdo wobbly, even | 13:41 |
| pip__ | I'm assuming that there are still issues with the cube & stuff with unity | 13:42 |
| holstein | i wouldnt know | 13:42 |
| pip__ | That asidethough if Unity's a little more stable now I'd like to give it another go | 13:42 |
| holstein | unity-2d is nice and light | 13:43 |
| holstein | or was when i checked it out | 13:43 |
| pip__ | there were just a couple of things that niggled me in Unity 3d so I went back to 10.10. | 13:43 |
| pip__ | yeah, that's an idea... | 13:43 |
| pip__ | 2d I mean | 13:43 |
| holstein | you can run gnome in 11.04 | 13:44 |
| holstein | gnome2... its 11.10 that will have gnome3 | 13:44 |
| pip__ | I found that a touch twitchy too TBH, ergo the step back | 13:44 |
| holstein | eh.. if i were stepping back, id go to the LTS... 10.04 | 13:45 |
| holstein | thats what im running | 13:45 |
| holstein | anyways... i gotta run... later all | 13:45 |
| pip__ | thanks holstein ttfn | 13:45 |
| oscar | hi i am having boot problems any help appriciated | 19:29 |
