[12:02] <lozzy_uk> Hi. Anyone able to help me with a mouse problem?
[12:28] <jumpysnake> buongiorno
[12:28] <jumpysnake> italiano?
[12:37] <astraljava> !it
[12:37] <jumpysnake> ok
[12:40] <jumpysnake> I installed ubuntu studio, and I find myself without a network manager. I knew that was not installed by default, so I downloaded the package tar.bz. puertroppo but I could not install it. give me know the command to start the installation?
[12:41] <jumpysnake> sorry
[12:41] <jumpysnake> I installed ubuntu studio, and I find myself without a network manager. I knew that was not installed by default, so I downloaded the package tar.bz. but unfortunately I could not install it. give me know the command to start the installation?
[12:46] <astraljava> You don't need the sources for that.
[12:46] <astraljava> Issue a command `sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome`, and it should be done.
[12:47] <astraljava> Might need to fire up the applet by hand right after install, if it doesn't get loaded.
[12:47] <astraljava> That should happen with hitting Alt+F2, and typing `nm-applet' (without the quotes).
[12:48] <jumpysnake> i dont ave connection cable, but only wifi
[12:52] <astraljava> jumpysnake: Ok. You will need to download the .debs by hand from the 'net, then.
[12:53] <astraljava> jumpysnake: Do you need help with that?
[12:55] <jumpysnake> if you can. because that's what I try, and that's what I find. I find only packages for debian I have not tried for fear of incompatibility
[12:55] <astraljava> jumpysnake: Ok. You should use the site packages.ubuntu.com
[12:56] <astraljava> jumpysnake: It has the search utility, so you choose your release and then enter the package name you want. Or other similar search terms.
[12:56] <astraljava> jumpysnake: You are looking for network-manager-gnome, as I said.
[12:56] <jumpysnake> ok :) grazie
[12:57] <astraljava> jumpysnake: You can then go to that package's page, where all the dependencies are listed.
[12:57] <astraljava> jumpysnake: I'm not sure how big a list that is, but I doubt very long.
[12:57] <astraljava> jumpysnake: If you can, download one by one, according to the messages dpkg gives you.
[12:58] <astraljava> jumpysnake: If you can't, then try to get the immediate dependencies first, and come back if those weren't enough.
[12:58] <jumpysnake> understand
[12:59] <astraljava> jumpysnake: Good luck, and don't hesitate to come back here in case you run into problems. And you can try #ubuntu if no one is available here for help.
[13:02] <jumpysnake> ok, thanks
[14:08] <jumpysnake> hello
[14:09] <astraljava> Hiya.
[14:12] <jumpysnake> well ... I downloaded and installed network-manager and its dependencies one by one. I restarted UbuntuStudio, and I can see NM. but now I find myself without a wifi NM. my wifi is on, but NM does not detect it, saying that there 'is no device enabled iwi. how can I fix this?
[14:15] <astraljava> jumpysnake: Maybe you have a killswitch on your laptop?
[14:21] <jumpysnake> is, in fact I have the killswitch, and just as you say, I tried to disable it and restart it. No but it has happened. I tried to give the ifconfig and the usb stick is not seen. I tried lsusb and I can read the key. I tried to give iwlist scanning to try to set a hidden connection, but unfortunately the built-in wifi can not read because the router is too far away.
[14:23] <astraljava> Usb stick? Is that a mobile broadband stick?
[14:26] <jumpysnake> I have the usb stick, and also the integrated interface. but are forced to use the usb stick because it is directional. So I am forced to use that to be able to detect the wifi router
[14:29] <jumpysnake> I only see wlan0 with ifconfig (integrated). I installed the drivers and I ran the script to the usb stick.
[14:31] <jumpysnake> i try on wicd
[19:38] <cgfree> hey can anyone provide assistance with an issue on Ubuntu Studio 11.10 with MSI Wind u100 netbook? <The error is that my audio-jack input doesnt fully function under linux, but on windows its fine. It seems when its fully inserted there's no output - but on half-insert i get output minus some treble/bass>
[19:39] <cgfree> happy new year everyone!
[19:39] <holstein> cgfree: sure... also, this is not going to be ubuntustudio specific, so you can search 'ubuntu' and try #ubuntu or other avenues as well
[19:39] <holstein> cgfree: let me be clear on what the issue is...
[19:39] <holstein> you are trying to do what?
[19:39] <holstein> use an external mic?
[19:40] <cgfree> holstein i had at first installed and operated on Ubuntu Karmic before the upgrade to studio (just wanted to give it a whirl)
[19:40] <holstein> sure, and thats awesome!
[19:40] <cgfree> everything on karmic was operational after os install, but not the case with studio
[19:41] <holstein> but, you are not utilizing anything ubuntustudio specific, so you dont need to limit yourself to only ubuntustudio avenues of support
[19:41] <holstein> cgfree: its not so much that you have installed ubuntustdio
[19:41] <cgfree> holstein, i see your point ;)
[19:41] <holstein> its that you have install a new version of ubuntu
[19:41] <holstein> newer kernel
[19:41] <cgfree> yep
[19:41] <holstein> newer alsa
[19:41] <cgfree> everyone in #ubuntu seem to be bust
[19:41] <cgfree> busy*
[19:42] <holstein> if you would like to test/confimr that, you can DL the current normal ubuntu and test that the issue is the same
[19:42] <holstein> however, im not kicking you out of here.. im just saying...
[19:42] <holstein> cgfree: so, are you trying to use an external mic?
[19:43] <holstein> cgfree: im actually not busy right now, so if you'll help me, i can help you
[19:44] <holstein> cgfree: are you trying to use an external mic?
[19:44] <holstein> what exactly are you plugging in and why/how?
[19:45] <holstein> cgfree: seems to me that maybe you are too busy to recieve help at this time?
[19:46] <holstein> feel free and ping me when you are ready.. im confident i can at least point you in the proper direction
[19:48] <holstein> feel free and ping me when you are ready.. im confident i can at least point you in the proper direction
[19:48] <cgfree> actually holstein  i think just my presence in the ubuntu channels have helped my searching lol - i just found a possible solution
[19:49] <holstein> cool
[19:49] <holstein> could be the driver support just isnt there
[19:49] <holstein> in a terminal, you can run alsamixer and just tweak those levels, not trusting any labels
[19:50] <holstein> you can install the package pavucontrol
[19:50] <holstein> i usually suggest trying live CD's to experiment with different kernels and alsa revs
[19:50] <holstein> trying the latest LTS release, which is 10.04, and even the upcoming one, 12.04
[19:51] <holstein> that will be what makes a difference... the kernel or alsa revs
[19:51] <holstein> unless its just a simple little tweak in the UI and you are not comfortable with yet
[19:55] <cgfree> so.. wait...
[19:56] <cgfree> youre saying i couldve avoided all of this if I had just used the liveusb version and it wouldve shown these same issues before actual complete installation?
[19:56] <holstein> cgfree: yup
[19:56] <holstein> thats what i suggest to everyone
[19:56] <holstein> try the live version, see what works, and read about how to fix it
[19:57] <holstein> we (ubuntustudio) hope to have a live version this cycle
[19:57] <cgfree> i never thought of that to be honest
[19:57] <cgfree> lol
[19:57] <holstein> but, again, you might just not be used to the controls, or it could be just a little something fiddly
[19:57] <holstein> i dont know what hardware you have
[19:57] <holstein> what you are plugging in
[19:57] <holstein> or why
[19:57] <cgfree> aaaactually im completely new to the xfce
[19:57] <holstein> cgfree: yup... theres that
[19:58] <holstein> if you are new to the UI, there are differences
[20:08] <jumpysnake> hello
[20:08] <holstein> o/
[20:10] <jumpysnake> it is possible that installing UbuntuStudio has damaged my network?
[20:10] <holstein> jumpysnake: i dont think so, whats up?
[20:11] <holstein> i used to use wubi... and i would have to unplug the power to reset the network card
[20:17] <jumpysnake> I installed the last night. This afternoon I installed the package of NM, unfortunately is not successful, and I decided to install wicd. this is done, I was able to connect to wifi router, but I noticed that if I start ubuntu in another partition, 10.04, this is no longer able to connect to the network. But back to UbuntuStudio: I said that I can connect the host to the router, but will not let me browse the web. why? explain it you know? ifconfig
[20:17] <jumpysnake> shows that everything is ok, says the same iwconfig, iwlist scanning and says that everything is ok.
[20:19] <holstein> not sure... maybe you have a piece of hardware that does not have good driver support
[20:19] <holstein> you can run lspci and see what card you have
[20:23] <jumpysnake> lspci tells me what kind of mounting hardware.? however, I mount an intel. and since they are very far from the wifi router, wifi usb use a directional, supported magnificently by ubuntu. has always worked with ubuntu. and if I have to be honest, I never used the integrated interface, except for testing
[20:24] <knobo> I have a AKAI LPD8 laptop pad controller. And I'd like to play with it and connect some of the buttons to control volum and some of the pads to do non musical things. What kind of program can I do that with?
[20:25] <holstein> jumpysnake: lspci will tell you what hardware is being 'seen'
[20:26] <holstein> if you can go in and disable the internal one, you might have an easier time
[20:26] <holstein> jumpysnake: feel freen and output lspci to a pastebin
[20:26] <holstein> knobo: anything really, assuming it works, and i think it does
[20:26] <holstein> JACK is the usual suspect
[20:27] <holstein> theres aconnectgui
[20:27] <holstein> knobo: you are just looking for ways to connect the midi signal from the akai to whatever application
[20:27] <holstein> you should try #opensourcemusicians as well... there are some midi folk over there
[20:28] <jumpysnake> ok. I am now with another PC. I prepare a text document and post
[20:29] <knobo> holstein: thanks
[20:29] <holstein> knobo: sure... JACK is not trivial, but you'll see a 'connect' button there, and thigs typically just 'show up' when they can be connected
[20:30] <knobo> I think I might look at midish
[20:31] <holstein> you can look at what you like, but JACK is the tool to use
[20:31] <holstein> its just not easy
