[00:26] <yosefu> Hi people
[00:27] <yosefu> I'm trying to get back my sound in 11.10, which i lost after some risky tweaking
[00:27] <yosefu> anyone has the patience?
[00:28] <CrOnOs2000> yosefu, why dont you just reinstall your sound packages
[00:30] <yosefu> which i've done
[00:30] <yosefu> (i hope correctly, im a noob at this)
[00:31] <yosefu> aplay - l finds no soundcard (as it did before)
[02:56] <r4y> >	I plan on installing Ubuntu 10.04, how should I go about marking bad sectors with something from here: http://support.wdc.com/ or with the live cd of Ubuntu?, or both?
[02:58] <r4y> Did my post show up, or should I repost?
[03:00] <urlin2u> it shows, I have never seen advice to do this I think you are probably on your own here
[03:01] <r4y> I am going to assume that because it says it requires Windows that I should somehow use the live CD of Ubuntu to mark the bad sectors before installing.
[03:02] <r4y> Google it is
[03:02] <urlin2u> are you sure there are bad sectors?
[03:02] <r4y> Well Disk Utility says so
[03:02] <r4y> But it could be a bug
[03:03] <r4y> I don't know
[03:03] <r4y> 10.04
[03:03] <r4y> I have just recently downloaded 10.04.3 instead of the other I was using
[03:04] <r4y> Sorry I meant 10.10 not 10.04, but I am going to install 10.04.3, not 10.04
[03:06] <r4y> I have read this before:
[03:06] <r4y> Keep in mind, all disks have some bad sectors, so as with all data important, back up
[03:06] <r4y> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1487833&page=1
[03:07] <r4y> Even new hard drives have bad sectors
[03:07] <r4y> It's just a question of how bad
[03:07] <urlin2u> a regular ubuntu install will not use bad sectors just install and pray it doesn't break overlal
[03:07] <urlin2u> overall*
[03:08] <r4y> right, well, I am going to Google this for a while because it couldn't hurt. I remember reading that there is an advanced option for this but I have read a lot of things that aren't true or change from version to version
[03:09] <urlin2u> here is a link, but the deal is really that I would estimate 99% of the users you run into will say since HD are so cheap get a new one it just comes down to you being able to do it. http://www.ehow.com/how_6864409_fix-bad-sectors-ubuntu.html
[03:09] <urlin2u> you could map it out and have it fail on the next boot .
[03:10] <sluckxz> http://linux.die.net/man/8/badblocks
[03:10] <r4y> Being backed is very important
[03:10] <r4y> thank you for the links
[03:11] <r4y> I remember low level format being what to do
[03:11] <r4y> I am already backed up by the way
[03:14] <urlin2u> thats good I clone everything and have the stuff I can't loose backed up.
[03:19] <r4y> I went back to the first link I posted for the heck of it:
[03:19] <r4y> http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?modelno=WD3200JBRTL&x=0&y=0
[03:19] <r4y> I am not sure if I want to go with any of those downloads
[03:22] <r4y> I think I would rather go with some other software that will mark the hard drive using a low level wipe, but what software is free for this?
[03:33] <ashickur-noor> how can I  video chat using yahoo protocol in Ubuntu 10.10?
[03:35] <holstein> this might be relavant ashickur-noor https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bd/2008-December/002682.html
[03:38] <r4y> Hello holstein. I am wondering if hirens or UBCD can do a low level format on a hard drive I have here. It's a WD Caviar Blue model WD3200JBRTL
[03:38] <holstein> r4y: dont see why not
[03:38] <holstein> i havent used hirens though
[03:38] <r4y> Pata
[03:38] <holstein> sure... ive used UBCD and gparted from live CD's on PATA
[03:39] <r4y> I don't see Sata written on the box
[03:39] <r4y> OK, I need a guide for this. Any links for what I should use off of either CD?
[03:40] <ashickur-noor> holstein:  it is not good
[03:40] <holstein> for formatting? i would just load up gparted
[03:40] <r4y> I mean I am looking here:
[03:40] <r4y> http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd
[03:40] <holstein> ashickur-noor: OK.. what are you trying to do?
[03:40] <holstein> yahoo chat in ubuntu?
[03:40] <holstein> whats it take?.. a stand alone app?
[03:40] <ashickur-noor> ya with video
[03:41] <holstein> im only familiar with skype (loosely) and the gtalk one
[03:41] <ashickur-noor> I can chat but no video
[03:41] <holstein> ashickur-noor: in WINE?
[03:41] <holstein> in the browser?
[03:41] <holstein> how are you chatting?
[03:41] <r4y> I used DBAN already. I want to do low format to have the bad sectors marked and remapped before I install Ubuntu 10.04.3
[03:41] <ashickur-noor> empathy'
[03:41] <holstein> i thought pidgin did yahoo with vid ashickur-noor ?
[03:41] <ashickur-noor> not works
[03:41] <holstein> r4y: how many bad sectors?
[03:41] <holstein> if its over the limit, it wont get much better
[03:42] <holstein> if its clicking, i would just give up on it
[03:42] <r4y> 80 some, I think, I can't remember
[03:42] <holstein> ashickur-noor: video doesnt work with pidgin?
[03:42] <holstein> ashickur-noor: have you tried wine?
[03:42] <ashickur-noor> not yet
[03:42] <ashickur-noor> Will try
[03:42] <ashickur-noor> need to go now
[03:42] <ashickur-noor> bye
[03:43] <r4y> Well, that's what this hard drive says which is 82, but for the hard drive I am going to install on, I can't remember how many sectors on that hard drive
[03:44] <holstein> a few bad ones is normal
[03:44] <holstein> if you start seeing it in red in that disk utility.... you might want to consider moving on
[03:44] <r4y> Right, always make back ups, and even most new hard drives have bad sectors
[03:45] <r4y> what part red. Maybe I should just install Ubuntu and see what disk utility says after doing so
[03:46] <r4y> I read that when installing Ubuntu there is a way to have the live cd mark the bad sectors for install
[03:47] <r4y> I know what I could try. bye I might be back
[03:47] <r4y> :) /
[03:48] <holstein> r4y: enjoy
[03:48] <r4y> ty for the help
[03:48] <holstein> the disk utility reports bad errors in red
[03:48] <holstein> like a high bad sector count
[03:48] <holstein> anyways... you'll sort it out :)
[03:48] <r4y> right, I will keep that in mind
[03:48] <holstein> i have confidence in you!
[03:48] <r4y> what's considered high?
[03:49] <r4y> I suppose that depends on the HD size
[03:49] <holstein> i forget
[03:49] <holstein> ive seen a lot though
[03:50] <holstein> i think 500 is bad
[03:50] <r4y> OK, far enough. Thank you for the info
[03:50] <holstein> but, at some point, its just deteriorating
[03:50] <holstein> and its just going to get worse
[03:50] <holstein> and usually fast
[03:50] <r4y> Right, that's the way of life
[03:51] <r4y> probiotics, no anti-biotics, lol
[11:55] <ashickur-noor> HI any body here?
[12:01] <Snicksie> yeah, im here :p
[12:23] <ashickur-noor> hi
[17:53] <truepurple> Can anyone help me fix indexing on mkv files please? A simple google search will not do it, most of the results are for avi only, or don't work.
[18:51] <abhishek> can anyone suggest me where to start with ubuntu development
[18:52] <urlin2u> abhishek, we are not fond of dual posting as well, you might ask on the Ubuntu Forums, you will get a lot of answers there. :D
[19:29] <eyadof> hi everybody i tried to setup a bridge network between my ubuntu 11.10 and ubuntu server 11.10 on virtual box but i'v failed and "device not managed " on the wired connection is written can somebody help please>
[19:30] <clarkthehardy910> my internal mic isn't working at all, can anyone help me find out what's wrong?
[19:31] <clarkthehardy910> well, its actually working because I can hear the sound through the speakers, but voice recorder isn't getting it, and neither is google talk (through chromium/firefox)
[19:32] <clarkthehardy910> any idea of what I need to do?
[19:54] <thewrath> hey all
[19:54] <JackyAlcine> Hello thewrath
[19:55] <thewrath> how are you JackyAlcine
[19:56] <JackyAlcine> thewrath: Could be better, but can't ask for too much. :D How about you?
[19:59] <thewrath> good
[19:59] <thewrath> just had to remove a rogue security software package from my paresnts computer
[19:59] <thewrath> it installs the rogue security package and a rootkit in the background
[19:59] <thewrath> so you can remove the app but the rootkit is still there
[19:59] <thewrath> luckily i was able to remove all of it
[20:00] <urlin2u> yousure you got it all?
[20:00] <thewrath> if they have an issue again i am just going to install Ubuntu on it
[20:00] <thewrath> followed all the steps that i found on the issue
[20:01] <thewrath> The package was called "Privacy Protection"
[20:01] <thewrath> Apparently my mom did not know the difference
[20:01] <JackyAlcine> thewrath: It happens, since they tend to replicate the system's look at times.
[20:01] <thewrath> between Avast and "Privacy Protection" so she told me that the system was infected with the blaster worm well that was a rip
[20:02] <thewrath> what JackyAlcine
[20:02] <thewrath> urlin2u: i am also work with IT security for my full time job
[20:02] <urlin2u> thewrath, you might check with the windows channel just to be sure you run highjack this to see whats there.
[20:02] <thewrath> urlin2u: ah i am going to run combofix
[20:02] <urlin2u> thewrath, I figured you know what your di=oing just asking?
[20:02] <thewrath> yea lol
[20:03] <thewrath> sorry been a long day lol
[20:03] <JackyAlcine> thewrath: some viruses go as far as to replicate a system program like Windows Defender to trick a user.
[20:03] <thewrath> i was trying to see if it was phoning home at all
[20:03] <thewrath> so i brought home my system
[20:03] <thewrath> JackyAlcine:  yea. she is not into IT like my brother and I are. one photo takeen of the screen with that up i would have known
[20:04] <urlin2u> thewrath, combofix is good this is an area  know only a little about, but many think things are gone when not, I had remembered that you were knowledgeable in this area, just curious really.
[20:04] <urlin2u> I*
[20:04] <truepurple> I am trying to get it so I can fastward and rewind in video files with broken indexing. I was told to try aviemux. There are two versions of avidemux in the software center,  gtk and qt, which version do I want?
[20:19] <thewrath> JackyAlcine: when is hte next team meeting?
[20:20] <JackyAlcine> it's typically posted in the topic.
[20:20] <JackyAlcine> Empathy's not letting me see it.
[20:36] <pers87> all of my downloads of the ubuntu 11.10 x86 iso in ie&firefox fail,i have no trouble downloading stuff on irc,is there a bot i can get it from?
[20:41] <bioterror> use torrent?
[20:42] <bioterror> or use wget
[20:42] <bioterror> and if you fetch with wget, remember to do md5 checksum
[20:46] <pers87> ok, thanks bioterror!
[20:46] <JackyAlcine> If your connection's weak, add the argument '-C' to wget so you can continue later.
[20:47] <bioterror> I would use torrent
[20:47] <bioterror> I get better speeds with too
[20:47] <bioterror> with it
[21:36] <truepurple> with system monitor, what is the difference between free space, and available space?
