[05:31] hi guys is this place chill w/ asking for help or will yal flame? [05:38] well i know yal may be afk so heres my issue i am on 10.04 LTS and my graphics card is not letting me use the nvidia driver for some reason and its telling me to enter a command and restart the xserver so i enter the command and log out and the screen just stays black [05:39] i also updated my kernal so it would support my life camś mic (didnt work btw) if tht means anything [09:24] hello everybody [10:55] hi [10:56] is there any1 here that can help with a problem im having w/ not being a "sudoer" after a clean install [12:27] morning [12:28] not many folks here but i was hoping to get some input on whether anyone here uses a m-audio 1010lt with ubuntu? [13:35] hi [13:48] eein_: yes [13:49] its plug and play AFAIK [13:49] couple folks in #opensourcemusicians use that card with ubuntu and others [13:51] http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-MAudio is what i reference [13:57] holstein, my issue is that i'm using mint currently which isnt really a necessity but should be similar to ubuntu and the card shows but instead of 10 inputs 10 outputs its a 1 and 1 [13:58] you use JACK with it, and it should just work [13:58] you can try ubuntustudio 12.04 live [13:58] you can ask in that channel i linked [13:58] you can try differnt kernels [13:58] hmm i think the default is pulse no? [13:58] eein_: depends on what you want to do [13:59] if you just want to surf the web and hear youtube videos, then you will not utilize anything that card will provide [13:59] if you want to route to several differnt outputs, you could do that with pavucontrol and pulse [14:01] if you want to route different recording sources, or signals out for mixing or any more commercial/professional applications... JACK is the tool [14:01] the folks i mentioned above that use that card use JACK with it [14:02] eein_: if you see them all in alsamixer, then you are god [14:02] good* [14:02] you can run aplay -l and check too [14:02] its likely you just arent using multichannel applications [14:03] pavucontrol should allow you to route similarly to how JACK would using pulse [14:03] you can search for it in the package manager of your choice [14:06] holstein, imagebin.org/206144 [14:06] thats a screenshot to better explain [14:07] i would just use JACK [14:07] pulseaudio control does the same thin [14:08] thing [14:08] sure.. pipeman reference a bug [14:08] i know he has that device [14:08] i would just buddy up with him and ask how he utilizes all the channels [14:08] just shows one input one output. i will try jack but just thought it odd [14:08] yup [14:08] eein_: i would ask pipemanmusic [14:09] in #opensourcemusicians [14:14] i want to set xp as my default in the boot menu.im using burg now.i tried setting it but its not working or saved [14:14] !grub | bluebird [14:14] bluebird: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [14:15] ^ i would check there... maybe go to just grub for a bit and sort it out... or look around about editing the default in burg.. should be similar [14:16] i went through some forum help and the default is already set to 4 , which is xp [14:16] bluebird: sure... and you can reorder that [14:16] OR, just change the default.. both of which are explained above [14:17] i do it quite often... i unhide grub and maybe boot one of the different kernels [14:17] its a matter of editing the line that says DEFAULT [14:18] yes [14:18] but its already edited [14:18] and i think its something about saving [14:19] sudo nano /etc/default/grub or gksudo gedit... [14:19] change the GRUB_DEFAULT=0 [14:19] or, confirm its been changed.. then run [14:20] sudo update-grub [14:20] if thats not working, i would reference the burg documentation [14:21] okay [14:22] but im using burg and do i have to edit grub? [14:22] bluebird: i would think so [14:23] i have not used burg... [14:23] okay [14:23] i assume its just a graphical front end, and uses the same config file [14:23] how do i edit it? [14:23] bluebird: ? [14:23] sudo nano /etc/default/grub or gksudo gedit... [14:24] bluebird: actually [14:24] im reading this now [14:24] sorry, didnt i told you im only two day old? [14:24] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1551634 [14:24] /etc/default/burg not in /boot/burg/burg.cfg. [14:24] bluebird: i would just stick to the defaults then [14:24] maybe just remove burg [14:25] but it looks better [14:25] bluebird: sure.. then, you *can* figure this out [14:25] i went through that forum help before [14:26] however, ubuntustudio nor ubuntu ship with it by default, so you are going to "get what you can get" as far as support [14:26] and i have only troubleshooted it enough to know i dont want/need it [14:26] however, im sure you can make it function as desired [14:26] okay [14:26] try sudo nano /etc/default/burg [14:27] can you look at the last comment on that forum topic [14:27] i tried to do it [14:27] but didnt understood "Some people miss this out, uncomment "GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true"." [14:28] i see the boot screen about every 3 months or so [14:28] and for a few seconds [14:28] i would get rid of burg if its not working as it should [14:29] if you want to troubleshoot it, open pastebin and give me the text from that file [14:29] i will but i think i should try to fix it [14:29] /etc/default/burg [14:29] and make sure you run sudo update-burg after editing [14:29] in that file default is 4 [14:29] bluebird: OK... is 4 what you need? [14:29] do you know its 4? [14:30] 0 is the firt one [14:30] SO, the next kernel (assuming you have a few) is likely 3 [14:30] and i didnt had to edit it.it was already 4 when i opened.yes 4 is xp [14:30] i would expect to see xp at 3 or 5 [14:30] bluebird: you'll need to link some things for me to see that [14:31] okay [14:31] you can also try #ubuntu if you prefer [14:31] this is not really an ubuntustudio issue, and you might get more help there faster [14:31] okay [14:32] which file should i show? [14:33] /etc/default/burg [14:34] did you get it? [14:35] nope [14:35] i dont dcc [14:35] you can just paste the link in the channel [14:36] where should i upload it?

[14:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/908800/ [14:38] is that it? [14:39] did you understood line 13 to 15? [14:40] hey [14:41] bluebird: and you ran sudo update-burg afterwards? [14:41] no [14:42] bluebird: OK... thats the first line [14:42] # If you change this file, run 'update-burg' afterwards to update [14:42] thats how grub works as well [14:42] as i didnt change anything [14:42] it was like that when i opened it [14:42] bluebird: you changed GRUB_DEFAULT=4 [14:42] ? [14:42] nope [14:43] bluebird: something did [14:43] and if you know you want 4, which im not sure you do, then issue that command [14:43] yes the super boot manager [14:43] it literlaly wont hurt to issue that command [14:43] bluebird: i wouldnt be using multiple boot managers [14:43] i did it now [14:43] i would expect issues [14:44] does ubuntu has another boot manager [14:44] grub is the default [14:44] okay [14:44] there are 3rd party ones.. plop, gag... also lilo [14:44] okay [14:44] grub is the one that is arguably most supported [14:44] and thats the one that would just be working for you right now as well [14:45] OR, xp is not #4 [14:45] but can you explain "Some people miss this out, uncomment "GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true"." [14:45] bluebird: no [14:45] i dont use burg [14:45] i dont know what that means... it doesnt seem like something you should need [14:45] uncomment it, run sudo update-burg and see what it does [14:46] look for a burg support channel and ask [14:46] how do i uncomment it? [14:46] email the maintainer, or try and find a man page [14:46] thats my question [14:46] bluebird: yeah, you get rid of the # [14:46] and i dont think you should be messing around in there [14:46] okay [14:46] i really feel like you should be using the system as close to default as possible right now [14:46] but, thats what uncommenting means [14:47] you delete the # so the computer reads it [14:47] otherwise, its ignored [14:47] okay [14:47] Generating burg.cfg ... [14:47] Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-17-generic [14:47] Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-17-generic [14:47] Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-12-generic [14:47] Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-12-generic [14:47] Found Microsoft Windows XP Professional on /dev/sda1 [14:47] done [14:47] bluebird@bluebird-Sy [14:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/908811/ [14:48] it shows that xp is 5th [14:49] cool.. its 4th for now then [14:50] okay [14:50] so removing burg is the option? [14:50] bluebird: thats an option [14:51] if its not working, i would remove it, but i dont care what something i see for maybe 2 seconds a month looks like [14:51] you dont shut down for a month? [14:51] i have mostly laptops or servers and dont reboot them much [14:52] how do i learn all the command line? [14:52] that we use it terminal [14:53] use in^ [14:53] where you from? [14:55] i understand you dont want to talk about that [14:55] thanks for the help [14:56] hey i more thing [14:57] can i edit that burg file without the terminal command? [14:58] im in the US... you can open it with the other command i mentioned [14:59] gksudo gedit /path/to/file [14:59] gksudo gedit /etc/default/burg [14:59] i mean is there another way? [14:59] if you just dont want to see a terminal window, you can hit alt+f2 and run that command from there [14:59] bluebird: you can open a root account, login from there and click on the file [14:59] what if the path is a long one? [15:00] okay [15:00] you can right click on it and try "open with" [15:00] bluebird: this is all open, there are endless possibilities [15:00] bluebird: tab auto completes... just like in here [15:00] but when i edited it the save option dimmed out [15:00] you type "hol" and hit tab, and it auto completes [15:01] bluebird: you are not root [15:01] gksudo is what gives you the rights to edit that file [15:01] gives your normal user [15:02] im using an admin acc [15:02] bluebird: you shouldnt be [15:02] bluebird: you dont want to be [15:03] and you likely arent if that box is greyed out [15:04] whats the problem of being admin [15:05] http://imagebin.org/206158 [15:05] bluebird: its just like the windows user structure [15:05] okay [15:06] did u see the pic? [15:06] if you are browsing the web, and something comes up that says "do something bad" and the user has those rights, and gives those rights to the web browser, thenn something bad will happen [15:06] and happen system wide [15:06] when, there is *no* good reason for a web browser to have admin privs [15:06] okay [15:06] bluebird: i would make another normal user [15:07] okay [15:07] get used to the use of sudo [15:07] so why the grey out? [15:07] i even unlock it [15:07] bluebird: not sure.. maybe you still dont have root privs [15:08] i thought when i unlock it , i get root priv [15:09] bluebird: i have no idea what that lock is or means [15:09] its a GUI that has no meaning to me [15:10] i know when im in the terminal and i run... [15:10] sudo -s [15:10] i can edit what i need to [15:10] i didnt understood that type hol and hit tab [15:10] bluebird: type hol [15:10] then hit the tab key [15:10] in terminal? [15:10] bluebird: right here [15:11] i type b and hit tab and bluebird is auto-completed [15:11] the path is the same in the terminal [15:11] okay [15:12] OK [15:12] so try it.. type h and hit tab [15:13] i mean do i have to type /etc/default/burg manually [15:14] bluebird: you can type in /et and hit tab [15:14] then def and hit tab [15:14] okay [15:14] you can always hit tab in the terminal and get the path to auto complete [15:14] or list options available [15:14] so you dont have any typos [15:15] anyways.. i need to run... i would try #ubuntu ...you are not usuing ubuntustudio [15:15] okay [15:15] i would also try and stick to the defaults for a while [15:15] thanks again [15:15] i would try exerimenting with the live CD's [15:15] boot those up, break things... try things there, and see what breaks and why [15:15] anyways.. good luck! [15:16] okay [17:24] Greetings from Eastern Europe, gentlehumans! I seem to have little problem involving OpenShot Video Editor and libmp3lame. Both of them are installed, the later has been recently compiled and installed manually by myself. Yet when I want to compile an Mp4, OpenShot doesn't seen to recognize that libmp3lame is installed. How do I check that I installed it properly and how do I make Openshot recognize it?
