n2diyI've lost sound, I checked that nothing is muted, and the speakers work on my test box. My user.log show pulse audio calling and alsa module, which fails because it can't find  a profile.01:40
MutantTurkeyn2diy: dude02:21
MutantTurkeyuninstall pulse then02:21
MutantTurkeybecause pulse suckss02:21
MutantTurkey:-)02:21
n2diyMutantTurkey, ok.02:28
MutantTurkeyno but seriously, what is the exact error?02:28
MutantTurkeyI might be able to help02:28
n2diyMutantTurkey, to late, pulseaudio is gone, what now, logout, reboot?02:31
MutantTurkeygive it a go02:33
MutantTurkeywhats the worst that can happen?02:33
MutantTurkeyalso I am definitely not liable for anything02:33
n2diyMutantTurkey, didn't work, logout and back in nothing, rebooted, and now the box is pretending to be a pet rock. I have a Xubuntu alternate disk available, suggestions?02:57
MutantTurkeyWhat what? seriously nothing happens?02:59
MutantTurkeydoes it still boot up correctly?02:59
MutantTurkeyn2diy: number one linux rule is never reinstall02:59
n2diyMutantTurkey, no, won't boot.02:59
MutantTurkeywhat happens when you do?02:59
MutantTurkeyn2diy: ?03:02
n2diyMutantTurkey, I may have other issues, I can't even get to cmos.03:02
MutantTurkey...03:05
MutantTurkeyyeah thats clearly unrelated03:05
MutantTurkey:x03:05
MutantTurkeydid you change anything?03:05
n2diyMutantTurkey, no, all I did was a restart, and it never came back up. All it does now is flash the keyborad LEDs, and beep the speaker once, which is normal, and that's it, no CMOS screen or option, nothing.03:09
MutantTurkeywe're going to have to call in level 2 support03:13
MutantTurkeyjedijf: what the hell did I just do.03:13
n2diyMutantTurkey, no problem. Here's what I got, LED's flash, speaker beeps, and when I hold done the del or esc keys during boot, I get keyboard error beeps. I think the vga card or monitor crapped out on me?03:16
n2diyMutantTurkey, progress, shutoff the monitor disconnected it, turned it back on, and it's showing no signal...03:19
n2diyMutantTurkey, got a cmos screen...03:22
MutantTurkeydoes grub show up?03:22
n2diyMutantTurkey, no grub, single OS. I'm in a restart loop, let me finish hooking everything back up...03:23
MutantTurkeygrub still exists no matter what03:24
n2diyMutantTurkey, roger that, I just don't see any options. Ok, trying to boot from the CD, then the HD, then it restarts, I"m checking my CMOS settings now, as I reset them.03:26
MutantTurkeysorry :/03:30
n2diyMutantTurkey, No problem, this is kind of fun. I DID reinstall today, but I was coming from Ubuntu  11.10, back to Xubuntu 10.10, so I had too. Anyway, I can't get cmos to play with the hard drive, but I maybe doing something wrong. It's a SATA drive, I won't see it on the IDE primary/master screen, but where else should I check?03:33
MutantTurkeythat is where it should b03:34
MutantTurkeysorry I having trouble seeing03:34
MutantTurkeyI cant find my eyeglasses03:34
MutantTurkeythe hard drive is acting funky?03:34
n2diyMutantTurkey, ok, let go argue with it again. No, no problems with the HD, I just wanted to have a look at Ubuntu 11.10, and didn't like it.03:35
MutantTurkeywell now what then?03:35
n2diyMutantTurkey, refuses to see the SATA drive. It's not hooked up to an IDE cable, why would it show up in cmos on them?03:40
MutantTurkeyI  have no idea03:41
n2diyMutantTurkey, I think I need to tell cmos there is a SATA drive hooked up, but where? Maybe I should reload the system defaults?03:43
MutantTurkeyI assume the cmos/bios would automagically find it03:43
MutantTurkeyisn't that how it works 99% of the time?03:43
MutantTurkeysomeone back me up here damnit.03:43
MutantTurkeyAlso, The rusty nail, Ardmore, Saturday night. I am playing a gig03:44
n2diyI'm 45 minutes late walking the dog, back in 20 min.03:45

n2diyMutantTurkey, Ok, walked the dog, ran into a neighbor, who had a fight with his wife, anyway two beers later, and here I am. The box rebooted, almost like nothing happened! The log in screen geometry was AFU, but otherwise, all is normal now!05:57
MutantTurkeywhut06:05
MutantTurkeyn2diy: glad it worked out06:09
MutantTurkeysometimes it is best to step away and then go back to it later06:09
MutantTurkeybut really I gotta kick it to bed. I am exhausted06:10
n2diyMutantTurkey, yea, that was a crazy ride, I don't think it is done with yet either. But, alls well that ends well, and I got a couple of beers to boot!06:10
