| matt_ | ok i just installed ubuntu. everytime i boot up my computer it takes me to this purple screen with a few options to pick. i can either pick: boot linux 3.0.0-17 generic. boot linux 3.0.0-17 recovery. boot previouse versions or memory test. if i boot 3.0.0-17 generic it just goes black screen forever and i have to turn it off. i have to go to preiviouse versions where it says boot 3.0.0-12 generic. and then again it will take | 01:35 |
|---|---|---|
| JoseeAntonioR | matt_: Is it 11.10 or 12.04? | 01:36 |
| matt_ | 11.10 | 01:36 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Did you MD5 test the .iso you downloaded? | 01:37 |
| matt_ | yea | 01:37 |
| JoseeAntonioR | I suppose hashs were the same, right? | 01:37 |
| matt_ | yes | 01:37 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Have you installed via WUBI? | 01:38 |
| matt_ | im pretty sure | 01:39 |
| matt_ | actually maybe not because my frined did it while on his mac | 01:39 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Well, if you have installed it via WUBI, my recommendation would be to delete WUBI and reinstall via the LiveCD | 01:40 |
| matt_ | well my friend burned me CD on his mac | 01:41 |
| JoseeAntonioR | WUBI is told to cause various problems to users. | 01:41 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Do you have a Windows partition? | 01:41 |
| matt_ | no as of right now all i have is ubuntu on it. no windows at all | 01:42 |
| JoseeAntonioR | So, please tell me, is this happening since the first time you booted Ubuntu? | 01:43 |
| matt_ | yes and i have tried reinstalling 3 times | 01:44 |
| bodhizazen | 'lo you all | 01:44 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Hello, bodhizazen :) | 01:44 |
| bodhizazen | saw you earlier matt_ , what you need help with again ? | 01:44 |
| JoseeAntonioR | bodhizazen: Problem explained in -team | 01:44 |
| bodhizazen | What video card ? | 01:44 |
| matt_ | ok i just installed ubuntu. everytime i boot up my computer it takes me to this purple screen with a few options to pick. i can either pick: boot linux 3.0.0-17 generic. boot linux 3.0.0-17 recovery. boot previouse versions or memory test. if i boot 3.0.0-17 generic it just goes black screen forever and i have to turn it off. i have to go to preiviouse versions where it says boot 3.0.0-12 generic. and then again it will take | 01:45 |
| matt_ | i dont rely know what video card | 01:45 |
| bodhizazen | boot any kernel or to recovery mode | 01:45 |
| JoseeAntonioR | And open a text prompt. | 01:45 |
| bodhizazen | If you boot to non-recovery mode, use Ctrl-alt-F2 to get to a console | 01:46 |
| matt_ | ok | 01:47 |
| matt_ | and after text prompt | 01:47 |
| bodhizazen | lspci | grep VGA | 01:47 |

| shawn186 | is their a way to fix my boot screen for ubuntu 10.4? it was high res on my native resolution, but now after installing compiz fusion settings manager, its gone to a low resolution | 01:48 |
| bodhizazen | shawn186, boot screen has to do with your video driver, did you install the nvidia or ati drivers ? | 01:50 |
| shawn186 | i installed the ati drivers | 01:51 |
| shawn186 | proprietary i think | 01:51 |
| bodhizazen | remove proprietary or live with boot screen | 01:53 |
| bodhizazen | Besides 10.04 is sort of long in the tooth, 12.04 would be better | 01:53 |
| bodhizazen | especially on desktop | 01:53 |
| shawn186 | umm | 01:55 |
| shawn186 | i tried 12, and i did not like it at all | 01:55 |
| shawn186 | its inflamated | 01:55 |
| bodhizazen | yea, yea, old news , move along | 01:56 |
| bodhizazen | 10.04 will be at EOL soon enought, then what ? | 01:56 |
| bodhizazen | this is a support channel, troll somewhere else ;) | 01:57 |
| shawn186 | well 10.4 LTS is the last of something i like about ubuntu | 01:58 |
| shawn186 | an important quality | 01:58 |
| bodhizazen | If you do not like unity, classic, gnome-shell, kde, xfce, lxde, *box, awwesomwm, gnome 2 is dead | 01:58 |
| shawn186 | i tried classic in it, the top screen bar was crapped up, and the task bar was buggy | 01:59 |
| bodhizazen | g2 is dead, get over it | 01:59 |
| Unit193 | Gave a longer list of other things to try, not just classic. | 02:00 |
| shawn186 | gnome was the best | 02:01 |
| shawn186 | overall | 02:01 |
| Unit193 | Gnome2 is no longer in active dev. | 02:02 |
| shawn186 | well, what is replacing it? | 02:02 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Gnome3 | 02:03 |
| shawn186 | does turboboost work in ubuntu? | 02:04 |
| shawn186 | i run uname -r and it says unknown | 02:13 |
| shawn186 | doesn't even know what processor | 02:13 |
| bob_ | hi i recently downloaded ubuntu and when i went to playa youtube video through my speakers no sound came out. any help | 02:13 |
| JoseeAntonioR | bob_: Ok. I think this is a common problem. Can you please try muting your PC when it has no headphones, and then connect the headphones please? | 02:13 |
| bob_ | ok did that | 02:14 |
| JoseeAntonioR | bob_: Did sound work now? | 02:14 |
| bob_ | nope | 02:15 |
| shawn186 | err not -r, thats kernal type, i mean uname -p | 02:16 |
| bob_ | any other options? | 02:16 |
| JoseeAntonioR | bob_: Yes. Please, open the sound configuration panel. | 02:17 |
| bob_ | ok its open | 02:18 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Then, on the Output tab, tell me what does it say in Connector. | 02:18 |
| bob_ | analog headphones | 02:18 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Please, change that to Analog Speakers. | 02:18 |
| JoseeAntonioR | bob_: Then, try playing sounds. | 02:18 |
| bob_ | still nothing | 02:19 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Do sounds play from other programs? | 02:20 |
| bob_ | not through headphones on anything but through the speakers its fine | 02:22 |
| bob_ | anything else? | 02:24 |
| JoseeAntonioR | bob_: I don't know what else can you do, I had that problem and fixed it that way. Maybe another person in the team knows the solution for it | 02:24 |
| bob_ | yea ill try and come back later | 02:25 |
| JoseeAntonioR | bob_: Wait a second, once you select Analog Speakers, you unmuted the sound? | 02:25 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Urgh. | 02:25 |
| bodhizazen | did matt__ ever come back ? | 02:27 |
| JoseeAntonioR | bodhizazen: Nope, he didn't | 02:29 |
| bodhizazen | shawn186, you mean uname -m ? | 02:33 |
| bodhizazen | uname will show you if you are running 32 bit or 64 bit | 02:34 |
| shawn186 | that tells the architecture | 02:34 |
| shawn186 | i know that as much | 02:34 |
| shawn186 | i mean the processor | 02:34 |
| shawn186 | -p | 02:34 |
| bodhizazen | if you are running 32 bit Ubuntu on a 64 bit processor, it shows 32 bit | 02:34 |
| shawn186 | i am running x86_64 | 02:35 |
| bodhizazen | lscpi | 02:35 |
| bodhizazen | cat /proc/cpuinfo | 02:35 |
| shawn186 | well lspci filled quite a bit | 02:36 |
| shawn186 | there we go | 02:37 |
| shawn186 | cpuinfo helps | 02:37 |
| shawn186 | why does cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i mhz return cpu MHz as :933.000? | 02:38 |
| bodhizazen | cat /proc/cpuinfo | pastebinit | 02:41 |
| shawn186 | http://pastebin.com/LDkyzwhA | 02:46 |
| bodhizazen | thanks .. | 02:46 |
| * bodhizazen looks | 02:46 | |
| bodhizazen | Your cpu is capable of 1.6 GHz and is idling at 933 Mhz | 02:47 |
| shawn186 | no | 02:47 |
| shawn186 | my processor is capable of 2.8 GHz | 02:47 |
| shawn186 | idle at 1.6 | 02:47 |
| shawn186 | in windows | 02:48 |
| shawn186 | is their a way to get that same performance out of ubuntu? | 02:48 |
| zeek | Hi everyone, need help installing java6 sdk in ubuntu 10.10; yes i've tried "sudo apt-get install sun-java6" | 02:52 |
| shawn186 | so with the ATI Catalyst Control Center in linux, is their a way to restore my boot screen back to high res? | 02:53 |
| Unit193 | Isn't 1010 EOL? | 02:53 |
| Unit193 | zeek: sun-java isn't being kept up due to the license, and that's an outdated version as well. | 02:54 |
| bodhizazen | shawn186, no, you have to remove Catalyst | 02:55 |
| zeek | What would you recommend for java development using eclipse | 02:57 |
| shawn186 | oh :( | 02:57 |
| JoseeAntonioR | zeek: Try with sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre | 02:57 |
| shawn186 | bodhizazen, what good will that do me? | 02:57 |
| bodhizazen | restore you boot screen = | 02:57 |
| shawn186 | and for the graphics benifit? | 02:58 |
| bodhizazen | shawn186, have you filed a bug report with ati ? | 02:59 |
| bodhizazen | Ati made and maintains the catylist driver | 02:59 |
| shawn186 | is the 4650 supported anymore? | 02:59 |
| zeek | JoseeAntoniR I udnerstand that version of java is not the complete version | 02:59 |
| bodhizazen | the catylist drive is incompatible with the boot screen | 02:59 |
| bodhizazen | as it is a closed source drive you are using, what do you want me to do about it ? | 03:00 |
| bodhizazen | file a bug report with ati | 03:00 |
| shawn186 | forget it :( | 03:00 |
| bodhizazen | 4650 is supported http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Hardware | 03:01 |
| bodhizazen | the cpu frequency you are seeing is likely a bug | 03:02 |
| JoseeAntonioR | zeek: Well, as far as I know that's the only version available in the repos. You would have to search in the java webpage. | 03:02 |
| bodhizazen | what kernel is it ? | 03:02 |
| shawn186 | 2.6.32-40-generic | 03:02 |
| shawn186 | here we go http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n436/shawn146/Screenshot-1.png | 03:05 |
| shawn186 | my cpu frequency | 03:05 |
| shawn186 | wish i could get the 2.8 GHz out of it :( | 03:05 |
| bodhizazen | what happens with 12.04 beta ? | 03:06 |
| bodhizazen | 2.6.32 is sort of an old kernel | 03:06 |
| shawn186 | its LTS | 03:06 |
| bodhizazen | to be honest, I think your best bet is 12.04, use kubuntu or if you like the feel of gnome 2, xubuntu | 03:06 |
| bodhizazen | 12.04 is LTS, yes | 03:07 |
| shawn186 | i don't want any derivatives | 03:07 |
| bodhizazen | the file a bug report against the 12.04 beta 2 | 03:07 |
| bodhizazen | You have relatively new hardware | 03:07 |
| shawn186 | true | 03:08 |
| shawn186 | 2010 hardware | 03:08 |
| bodhizazen | you are sort of building your own coffin | 03:08 |
| shawn186 | what do you mean | 03:08 |
| bodhizazen | gnome 2 is dead | 03:08 |
| bodhizazen | and you refuse to move on | 03:08 |
| bodhizazen | take your pick - you have several optiosn | 03:09 |
| bodhizazen | or stay with an old kernel and take the performance hit | 03:09 |
| shawn186 | well i talked to a couple friends, i will upgrade | 03:09 |
| bodhizazen | 12.04 has unity, classic, kde, xfce, lxde, fluxbox, openbox, list goes on an on | 03:09 |
| shawn186 | as long as it looks like my top bar | 03:10 |
| shawn186 | with Applications Places and System tabs | 03:10 |
| bodhizazen | If you have problems with 12.04, file a bug report | 03:10 |
| bodhizazen | Your complaint is sort of like complaining that you do not like Windows 7, you prefer windows 98 | 03:11 |
| bodhizazen | Why will windows 98 not run my 64 bit software ? | 03:11 |
| bodhizazen | You are stuck in the past | 03:11 |
| shawn186 | o.o | 03:12 |
| shawn186 | your a bit over the edge there | 03:12 |
| bodhizazen | not really | 03:12 |
| shawn186 | you are tooo dramatic | 03:12 |
| bodhizazen | you are being stubborn | 03:12 |
| shawn186 | 10.4 was 2011 | 03:12 |
| shawn186 | why do you say taht | 03:12 |
| shawn186 | *that | 03:12 |
| bodhizazen | I find it hard to believe 12.04 does not offer you an acceptable DE | 03:12 |
| bodhizazen | Linux develops is much more rapid then windows | 03:13 |
| shawn186 | DE? | 03:13 |
| shawn186 | bodhizazen, i agree | 03:13 |
| shawn186 | i am converting to linux | 03:13 |
| bodhizazen | Desktop Environment - KDE, gnome, xfce, .... | 03:13 |
| shawn186 | ah | 03:13 |
| shawn186 | i will learn | 03:13 |
| bodhizazen | If you like g2, xfce is your best bet | 03:14 |
| shawn186 | but the gnome 2 look is classy and simple, not shiney or eye-candied up | 03:14 |
| bodhizazen | so go for fluxbox then | 03:14 |
| bodhizazen | or lxde | 03:14 |
| bodhizazen | http://news.softpedia.com/news/Xubuntu-12-04-Beta-2-Screenshot-Tour-261682.shtml | 03:15 |
| bodhizazen | http://news.softpedia.com/news/Lubuntu-12-04-Beta-2-Screenshot-Tour-261824.shtml | 03:15 |
| bodhizazen | The linux kernel is 3.x now, so if you are having a problem with your i7, you need to at least try a more modern kernel | 03:16 |
| shawn186 | k | 03:17 |
| bodhizazen | at the minimum , boot 12.04 beta, try xfce, and cat/proc/cpuinfo | 03:18 |
| bodhizazen | you can boot a live Cd (flash drive) and test it b4 u install | 03:19 |
| shawn186 | upon using compiz in ubuntu, why do i see cuts when moving the window? | 03:19 |
| shawn186 | same way i installed 10.4 :) | 03:19 |
| bodhizazen | crappy closed source driver ? | 03:19 |
| shawn186 | does ati have a good driver? | 03:19 |
| bodhizazen | One thing in the open source community, we can not do anything with closed source code | 03:20 |
| bodhizazen | you have to bring those complaints to ati | 03:20 |
| zeek | /irchelp/ | 03:20 |
| shawn186 | oh | 03:20 |
| bodhizazen | or nvidia or intel | 03:20 |
| bodhizazen | we can show you how to install the binary linux driver, but if ati does not open source the driver, what can we do to fix it ? | 03:21 |
| bodhizazen | kde is nice too - http://news.softpedia.com/news/Kubuntu-12-04-LTS-Alpha-2-Screenshot-Tour-250502.shtml | 03:22 |
| shawn186 | was just askin.. | 03:22 |
| shawn186 | no need to rub it in.. | 03:22 |
| bodhizazen | You will get much ruder responses then I have given you ;) | 03:22 |
| shawn186 | why isn't there peace in an open community? | 03:23 |
| bodhizazen | Try filing a bug report on the ATI driver on Launchpad | 03:23 |
| * bodhizazen stands back to watch the flames | 03:23 | |
| shawn186 | o.o | 03:23 |
| bodhizazen | shawn186, what do you mean ? | 03:23 |
| shawn186 | well i found the grub area | 03:24 |
| shawn186 | #GRUB_GFXMODE=1600x900 | 03:24 |
| shawn186 | i changed it from 640x480 | 03:24 |
| bodhizazen | did that fix you boot screen resolution ? | 03:25 |
| shawn186 | i haven't rebooted it | 03:25 |
| bodhizazen | sudo update-grub | 03:25 |
| bodhizazen | reboot | 03:25 |
| shawn186 | i always look for a positive outcome | 03:25 |
| shawn186 | negative never helps | 03:25 |
| holstein | i tend to lean more towards realistic these days... but positive wont hurt anything | 03:26 |
| bodhizazen | well, you really can not apply that reasoning to an outcome when asking the open source community to support closed source drivers | 03:27 |
| bodhizazen | It is sort of like mixing water and oil | 03:27 |
| shawn186 | i wasn't asking anyone to do anything | 03:27 |
| shawn186 | i was asking if it existed yet | 03:28 |
| shawn186 | ima noob | 03:28 |
| bodhizazen | file a support request on Microsoft asking them to support chain loading grub 2 | 03:28 |
| bodhizazen | or LUKS | 03:28 |
| bodhizazen | or ask Microsoft when they are going to support brtfs | 03:28 |
| bodhizazen | oil and water don't mix | 03:29 |
| bodhizazen | http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html | 03:29 |
| bodhizazen | shawn186, you bought your computer with windows pre-installed ? | 03:30 |
| bodhizazen | Next time, buy an i7 with Linux pre-installed | 03:30 |
| bodhizazen | all your hardware will work out of the box, just like it does with windows 7 | 03:30 |
| bodhizazen | Not try installing windows 7 | 03:30 |
| bodhizazen | try finding all the windows drivers you need =) | 03:31 |
| bodhizazen | If you want "positive" outcomes, you need to do your homework when purchasing hardware | 03:32 |
| bodhizazen | you know this | 03:32 |
| bodhizazen | you do not run OSX on a windows box ? | 03:32 |
| bodhizazen | same with Linux or BSD | 03:32 |
| bodhizazen | you can not pound a square peg through a round hole =) | 03:33 |
| bodhizazen | Well, not easily | 03:33 |
| shawn186 | bodhizazen, its a refurb my dad got me back in 2010 for 1200 | 03:36 |
| shawn186 | a slight splurge, not ever gonna happen again | 03:36 |
| bodhizazen | build one =) | 03:36 |
| shawn186 | when i get a job | 03:37 |
| bodhizazen | Look at 12.04, see if your hardware is better supported, most likely it is | 03:40 |
| bodhizazen | and if so, decide if you are so stuck in gnome 2 you are willing to give it up | 03:40 |
| bodhizazen | or decide you are so stuck with your cpu frequency to learn to love unity or the DE of your choice | 03:40 |
| bodhizazen | you have options | 03:41 |
| holstein | XFCE is a nice gnome2 alternative | 03:41 |
| shawn186 | bodhizazen, we just talked about that buddy | 03:42 |
| shawn186 | i said i will definately upgrade | 03:42 |
| bodhizazen | come back to this channel running 12.04 live and we can take another look | 03:42 |
| bodhizazen | I would not upgrade without testing | 03:42 |
| Unit193 | 12 is still in beta. :P | 03:43 |
| Unit193 | But yeah, there have been some great impovments there. | 03:44 |
| Unit193 | Some improvements as well. | 03:44 |
| bodhizazen | although there are no guarantees, there have been great efforts to keep 12.04 as stable as possible and I do not have any reservations advising it at this time | 03:45 |
| bodhizazen | It has been very stable | 03:45 |
| bodhizazen | as dev releases go | 03:45 |
| bodhizazen | Unit193, people still install the 12.04 alpha spin I made a while back, do a full upgrade, and are happy with the results | 03:46 |
| * bodhizazen looks at date | 03:47 | |
| Unit193 | Yep, was just making a friendly reminder. | 03:48 |
| bodhizazen | built my 12.04 alpha Dec 24, 20111 | 03:48 |
| Unit193 | ....That's in the future! 0_0 | 03:48 |
| Unit193 | ;) | 03:49 |
| bodhizazen | gah - back to the future | 03:49 |
