[01:23] with what [01:24] I need to determine if there is a better video driver I could be using. [01:24] which card, which driver, how installed [01:25] It is an onboard intel chipset driver [01:25] I haven't manually done any driver installation. I'm currently using whatever driver xubuntu started out with upon fresh installation [01:25] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC) (rev 02) [01:26] you could try the xorg edgers ppa for that. that card is never going to be superb though [01:26] Yeah... [01:27] I can fetch this with apt-get? [01:28] once you add the ppa [01:28] search at the launchpad ppa page [01:28] !ppa [01:28] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

Or is it "hibernate"? I had it on "nothing" but maybe it was because some error in my laptop [02:36] i set mine to nothing, i think sleep's better for it [02:36] tell the pc to turn off ya know [02:37] YEs, suspend is a good option because in suspend mode battery only decreases at about 1% per hour, so you would have almost 10 hours to plug it in again [02:40] but I think the safest default behavior would be hibernate. It is the same as discussing about the default "on close lid" behavior. [02:41] yeah 1 or the other [02:42] my machine just goes from running to dead [02:42] One half including me think that default should be suspension, but the other half thinks "Nothing" is better. it's a neverending debate [02:42] yeah i do nothing and hard restarts and fsck.jfs [02:42] just fsck ur unmounted drives when they freak out [02:43] haha [03:03] anyone available to help me with ati drivers issues?

[11:49] then I can choose to make it EXT4, right? [11:50] pretty sure that's what I did martinphone [11:51] ok [11:51] my 1tb hdd SHOWS 931 GB USABLE SPACE, rip off? sorry for caps [11:52] yea - been there for that one ... [11:53] you can though change the amount of space that is reserved for root - normally 5% [11:53] a yes, that can only be done via command line, right? [11:54] believe so martinphone [11:54] There's also tuning the filesystem block size, depending on what you're using. [11:54] forestpiskie, please paste the command, or a link to it [11:54] and I still cannot mount ANY HDD, including this one that I can gpart [11:54] trying to remember :p [11:54] I can cd to it and ls it [11:54] I don't recall how df calculates space, whether it's based on block or inode count, but tweaking your sizes can produce different (apparent) results. [11:54] hey I got a problem with using ssh socks for some reason. I can telnet to the port but when im trying to run it as socks no application will work with it. [11:55] file manager does nothing [11:55] Anyone know what might be wrong? [11:55] hello [11:55] only in english? [11:55] only if you meet orthodox admins matteo75fe [11:55] martinphone: tunes2fs -m X% /dev/foo [11:56] Do decimals work? tunes2fs -m 0.5% /dev/foo [11:56] martinphone: no idea - I'd just 1 but try [11:56] It's also good to keep in mind that HDD manufacturers use different values for what a GB is. Typically they still seem to be saying 1GB = 1000MB, which simply isn't true. :-) [11:56] joeythesaint: +1 [11:57] true joeythesaint [11:57] Criminals. :-D [11:57] worse than that.... [11:57] martinphone: no idea about the mount thing - but I can have a look in a while - just about to go afk [11:58] lol, No command 'tunes2fs' found, did you mean [11:58] goin to synaptic [11:58] whoops [11:59] tune2fs [11:59] aa. ok [11:59] does that come by default in xubuntu? [11:59] yep [12:00] crap: tune2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010) [12:00] tune2fs: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/foo [12:00] Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. [12:00] change foo to wahtever the drive is :) [12:00] Could someone please take a look at my issue. [12:00] what did gparted call it [12:00] yes, i cd ed to it [12:00] a crap, you mean the partition, not just usb... [12:00] ok [12:00] yea partition [12:01] Mofasa: if someone can answer you they will [12:01] Oh, martinphone, I wasn't paying attention. Did you just partition this drive? [12:01] yea [12:02] joeythesaint, I bought it, created an ext4 partition for all the thing [12:02] from home dir, how do I cd to /dev/sdb1? [12:02] Ah. If it's internal you'll likely need to reboot. External you should just be able to power it down and power it back up again. [12:02] i tried media/usb, but nothing [12:03] A friend of mine a few years back patched his kernel to be able to invalidate it's understanding of partition tables while running but it was an ugly hack and nothing that would ever be accepted upstream, as I recall. [12:03] You can't cd to /dev/sdb1, it's a device, not actually a filesystem. [12:03] tune2fs should still see it [12:04] Yeah, if it doesn't it's likely because the kernel doesn't quite know about it yet. [12:04] I've never had to reboot to fiddle with unmounted partitions [12:04] It's just when you create a new one on an internal drive. [12:04] mmm - perhaps [12:04] fdisk tells you that when you finish up with it, actually. [12:04] Or it used to. [12:05] * joeythesaint doesn't typically read the output from fdisk/cfdisk these days. [12:05] k - long time since I could afford new hardware - probably not remembering :) [12:05] biab [12:06] Still, if this is a usb external drive, it shouldn't matter. The udev/hotplug stuff should take care of it if you just disconnect it and reconnect it after creating your partitions. [12:07] Though you'll likely *then* need to do the 'mke2fs -t ext4 ' step. [12:09] I have labelled the HDD, I can now open it with file manager. In terminal I still get: tune2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010) [12:09] tune2fs: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/foo [12:09] Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. [12:09] Is that because it is owned by root? [12:10] Oh! Okay, so at the terminal do this: 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb' (no 1, just the sdb, or whatever your disk is. [12:11] That's a - little-L option. List partition table info. [12:11] /dev/sdb1 2048 1953523711 976760832 83 Linux [12:12] do you want to see the whole output? [12:12] Okey doke. So /dev/sdb is your disk, /dev/sdb1 is your partition. tune2fs needs to be pointed at /dev/sdb1 [12:12] Nah, that's all I needed. [12:13] So then what does this do: 'sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt'? [12:13] Does it actually succeed in mounting your filesystem on /mnt? [12:13] joeythesaint, from home dir, right? [12:13] Yeah, doesn't matter where you do that command. [12:14] Except you shouldn't be in /mnt already. [12:14] Anywhere else is fine. [12:14] joeythesaint, it doesnt appear in /mnt, but in /media [12:14] Oh, it's already mounted? [12:15] Im sorry, I may be confusing you, but the truth is I have no idea [12:15] apparently yes, but I dont recall how I did it [12:15] It's not safe to tune2fs on a mounted filesystem. It's supposed to be possible in ext4 but it's still experimental and kind of dicey. [12:15] so gparted unmount, then terminal [12:16] Stuff that gets mounted in /media tends to be done automatically by your system. Don't worry about that. [12:16] You've got several options for unmounting. Obviously I'm most comfortable with the command line so I'd do this: "sudo umount /dev/sdb1" [12:16] Then, yeah, tune2fs away and you shold be good. [12:16] s/shold/should/ [12:17] Once you're done you should just be able to unplug the device and plug it back in again and it should automatically mount again in the same spot. [12:17] tune2fs -m 1 /dev/foo or tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sdb1? [12:17] Probably some horrible hex number that is the device's UUID and not meaningful to humans at all. [12:18] tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sdb1 [12:18] is it normal that the newly formatted hdd is owned by root? [12:18] Yep. [12:19] Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. [12:20] Once it's mounted you can create directories there owned by your regular user. Something like "sudo mkdir /media//martin; sudo chown martin:martin /media//martin" and you're off to the races. [12:20] Ah, so that says there's partition information but the fs is borked. You haven't put anything on there yet, have you? [12:21] no, nothing in there, just the lost+found directory [12:21] ... weird. [12:21] One sec. [12:22] manpage seems to indicate tune2fs should be able to identify it as ext4 properly. [12:23] Well, if there's nothing else there, nuke and pave. No harm in it. [12:23] im sorry if this is my fault: I just added sudo and the thing worked [12:23] * joeythesaint checks the manpages. [12:23] were you assuming I was in the terminal as root? [12:23] Oh! [12:23] Yeah, sorry, everything you do on the devices you have to do it as root. [12:23] :-) [12:24] ok [12:24] now back to gparted to mount, right? [12:24] Yessir. [12:29] I get different total counts on gparted and filesystem, is that normal? [12:30] raining cats and dogs oer here [12:30] crap, I wanted to do some jogging [12:34] hi [12:35] when the 12.04 coming out??? [12:35] sorry, my english is not very good.. [12:35] 18 days [12:36] are you italian? [12:36] yes [12:36] a, I only know swear words [12:36] swear? [12:36] yes, like van fan culo figlio di putana, or coglioni [12:37] yes, is international ! [12:37] did I write that well? [12:37] ego? [12:37] figa culo tette [12:37] what does that mean? [12:37] i understand culo [12:38] is a dirty word in italian [12:38] could you give a similar meaning in english? [12:38] but the favorite is FIGA [12:38] figa = pussy [12:38] culo = ass [12:38] ahahahahaha [12:38] tette = boob [12:39] matteo75fe, stop that [12:39] why bazhang ? its funny [12:39] martinphone, lets move on [12:39] the italian girl is so beautiful bat she is a precius [12:39] ok matteo75fe , dont risk a ban, pm if you wanna share more italian words [12:39] martinphone: Yeah, different counts is normal, all of the tools choose their own way to display 'size'. [12:39] The one I use is the command line tool (not surprisingly) df. [12:40] bazhang, that was uncalled for [12:40] df [12:40] Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on [12:40] /dev/sda5 223991844 204818072 7960808 97% / [12:40] martinphone, perhaps you need to look at the channel guidelines [12:40] Hrm. Time to do something about that. [12:40] !guidelines > martinphone [12:40] martinphone, please see my private message [12:40] df -h will probably give you something you're more interested in here. [12:40] ubottu, I dont see any private message [12:40] martinphone: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:40] 'df -h /dev/sdb1' <--- for that you don't need sudo. [12:40] lol, smart me [12:42] joeythesaint, something weird is happening: for this newly formatted 1TB HDD labeled VOLUME3 file manager recognizes the mountpoint and mounts it as VOLUME3, but I have another older VOLUME1, and to access this one I must use /mnt/usb0 [12:42] I mean, if I clikc on VOLUME1, nothing happens [12:43] bazhang, is yours a permaban? [12:43] Ugh. Sorry, now you're into the realm of automounting and dbus-y stuff. That's all way too new tech for me to understand. [12:43] martinphone, lets move on, not your issue [12:43] Probably someone else here can help with that, martinphone. [12:44] ill wait for babble [12:47] gtg [12:48] crap, I cannot safely eject /mnt/usb0, the option does not exist [13:16] i cannot eject volumes because daemon is inhibited [13:16] help please [13:16] volume = HDD [15:10] Grrr. I have just tried reporting a bug with KMail in Ubuntu 11.10. At the end of the process bugs.kde.org came back and said "There is no version named '4.7.3' in the 'kmail2' product." but 4.7.3 is the version of KMail that is installed by the Ubuntu Software Centre. Any ideas? [15:11] Oops. Ubuntu 11.10 --> Xubuntu 11.10 [15:11] !info kmail [15:11] kmail (source: kdepim): full featured graphical email client. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.7.4+git111222-0ubuntu0.1 (oneiric), package size 1007 kB, installed size 3868 kB [15:12] looks like 4.7.4 SandJ [15:13] "About KMail" says "KMail Version 4.7.3, Using KDE Development Platform 4.7.4 (4.7.4)" [15:16] I used "Help", "Report Bug" and it says it is version 4.7.3 and I used the "Launch Bug Report Wizard" where I entered all the details and when I clicked on "Submit Bug Report", the web site rejected it saying there is no version 4.7.3 [15:17] So, it appears there is a bug in v4.7.4 that it reports itself as a non-existent 4.7.3 which means you can;t report bugs against 4.7.4 ! So How do I report THAT bug? Aaaargghhh! [15:18] have you updated? There should be a 4.7.4 update available for you which (may?) fix whatever problem you're having. The current package in oneric-updates is the 4.7.4 git build bazhang just mentioned. [15:18] I'm also looking here: [15:18] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=kmail&searchon=names&suite=oneiric-updates§ion=all [15:20] I installed this Xubuntu a week ago, KMail 2 days ago. There are no updates available. The package I have installed is 4:4.7.4+git111222-0ubuntu0.1 [15:21] why are you trying to file a bug against 4.7.3 in that case? [15:21] Because KMail is reporting itself as being 4.7.3 and I cannot over-ride that. [15:21] have you checked the kmail maintainers' website, instead of using whatever internal bug reporting the app uses? [15:26] you can file a bug against an unspecified version of kmail here: https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=kmail2 [15:26] (you'll need to make an account), and then, in your bug description, be sure and tell them what version you have installed (and possibly that it's reporting itself as 4.7.3) === StaffRingedSeal is now known as Myrtti [15:32] @babble, thank you. [15:33] just about everything that accepts bug reports these days has a bugtracker on the web someplace. [15:36] if Oneric-updates is using a build from git, I suppose it's possible that version strings might not have gotten updated. [15:40] I had spent 80 minutes working out how to reproduce a KMail folder filing bug and typed it up into the bugs web page, but could not submit it. I *hate* software that tries to be clever and then fails, and this was one of those instances. "Hey, I'll report what version I am for you! (and get it wrong!)" [15:41] it's probably not the KDE maintainers' fault the git build in that ubuntu package is a hint. [15:41] they're probably building that from an earlier git commit that will actually build in 11.10 successfully [15:43] so it's six of one, half a dozen of the other: disable oneric-updates and don't get updated packages, or accept that this is a backport that in this once instance is a little problematic and go around kmail's own bug reporting. [15:44] (if that's the case, be prepared for your bug to be closed with no action taken, however.) [15:46] it looks like the tracker currently tracks 4.8 releases 4.8.3 and 4.8.4. [15:46] search for things along the line of your problem and make sure it hasn't already been fixed in 4.8 [15:48] if your problem HAS been fixed in 4.8, there's a 4.8 package in Precise. be patient. === Pici is now known as Guest42174 === Pici` is now known as Pici [16:27] hi [16:28] is someone here, who probably may help me with pulseaudio?

[16:57] why is my new HDD owned by root? I can only copy and paste data with nautilus... [16:58] hello? [17:07] @martinphone: is the USB HDD already partitioned and formatted? Why do you say it is defective? [17:07] SandJ, because it does not automount: I can see the label , but if I cloick on it it does nothing [17:08] it is a problem that has been lagging for some months now... maybe 6 [17:08] click* [17:10] and yes, already partitioned and formatted [17:10] In my Xubuntu 11.10 that is set in: Settings, Settings Manager, Removable Drives & Media, Storage, Mount removable drives when hot-plugged [17:10] and Mount removable media when inserted [17:13] so do I SandJ [17:13] do you know how to change permissions from the terminal? I cannot copy data to it, because I am not root [17:13] When I formatted a UDB HDD to ext4 I could not access it; I had to reformat it as ext2. [17:14] That was when I formatted it on another PC; root had access but I could not write to it. [17:14] UDB HDD --> USB HDD [17:15] and you could as ext2... [17:15] as --> in [17:15] And I could as ext2. [17:15] how odd [17:17] It is something to do with ext3 and ext4 preserving rights. I thought I was being clever when I did it. [17:19] why didnt it happen to me back in ubuntu? [17:20] Dunno. Is that when you formatted the drive? [17:24] no, this is the 1st drive I format using xubuntu [17:24] will this work? sudo chmod a+xw /dev/sdb1 [17:28] * SandJ is away: rebooting [17:28] So has anyone here had issues with the intel graphics driver locking up when playing games?

I can hear it.. audacity says its using ALSA but alsamixer master volume is already set to 100% what am I missing? [18:24] Kingsy: i might try pavucontrol, assuming you are using pulse [18:25] you can try JACK with something like ardour, where there are things like jackmixer to boost the signal [18:25] though, i would prefer boosting the signal with a proper hardware, like a nice preamp [18:26] USB mics are not made for what you are trying to use them for typically... they are for speaking directly into them [18:47] Hi folks, looking for help with audio over hdmi on a nvidia 210.

[18:53] chiliblue: should work fine [18:53] chiliblue: xubuntu = ubuntu with XFCE and other customizations [18:53] holstein: I fixed it, I increased the mic capture volume.. it was really low [18:53] chiliblue: i would try pavucontrol if you are using pulse [18:54] Yes I wanted something lighter hence xubuntu [18:54] holstein: but now its my webcam.. giving me REALLY low res crappy framerate output from vlc [18:54] holstein: thanks for the advice tho [18:54] chiliblue: im not suggesting ubuntu.. im saying that the how-to's for ubuntu should work.. and im suggesting the package pavucontrol [18:55] i am using pulse, its really driving me nuts, sound was working in video but not in menus and now its the other way around. But I can't understand why I don't have any desktop sounds (I might be being dim...but I take it xubuntu does normally have desktop sounds [18:56] I have pavucontrol installed. [18:59] chiliblue: i dont think there are sounds [18:59] chiliblue: assume nothing... if you dont hear any, and havent, there's probably not any [19:07] Thanks holstein, that is one thing I don't have to worry about then [19:11] How would I go about disabling keys on the keyboard? My Thinkpad X40 has forward and back keys right next to the arrow keys and it's annoying when I accidentially hit them while web browsing. [19:11] ThinkWiki isn't exactly clear on the matter, and the page I was looking at was more for ENABLING the special functions. [19:22] can hidden files be copied if I ctrl+h to see them and copy them? [19:23] yep [19:23] Alright, repeating the question since there are more people about: how would I go about disabling certain keys on my keyboard? [19:24] notably, the forward/back keys === zmoylan1 is now known as moylan === moylan is now known as zmoylan [20:11] Hi evrbdy! I have question - after updating to 12.04 beta - in Mozilla addon Flashaid i have message: "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal. [20:11] getpt failed: No such file or directory." How can i fix it? [20:15] looks like a few similar bugs have been reported. [20:15] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/245956 [20:15] Launchpad bug 321927 in insserv (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #245956 /dev/pts and /dev/shm not mounted on boot" [Low,Confirmed] [20:15] it looks like a /dev virtual device isn't getting created. [20:16] this is a fix from that particular launchpad thread: [20:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/923918/ [20:28] babble: thanx! i'll better go check the links :) Have found some solutions for Archlinux but they didn't help me yesterday. [20:29] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdk-pixbuf/+bug/927393 not my post, but is there anything I can do about that other than possibly 'wait for 12.04 official'? [20:29] Launchpad bug 927393 in gdk-pixbuf (Ubuntu) "GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple: assertion `dest_width > 0' failed" [Undecided,Confirmed] [20:30] er, well, "release", not official [20:50] hi, who are speak french please ?

Says like when u use the shutdown cmd in all terminals Description: (unknown) [21:33] that I get for being nice [21:33] anyone know why this might happen? [21:33] or how to go deeper... [21:34] Check the logs in /var/log/ [21:35] martinphone: I had no idea what you had said - the other bloke had left [21:41] Zdarec [21:42] Hele jsem na xubuntu nový...vlastně celý linux je pro mě trochu španělská vesnice...může mi někdo dát pár rad do začátku? :) [21:42] if I copy .firefox (hidden file) and nuke it, I can still get FF as it was before the nuking by copying this hidden into my home folder, right? [21:43] nuke the machine [21:43] so no french but czech is allowed?? [21:43] or any other slavic language that may be...

Česky je možno se domluvit v #ubuntu-cz. Děkujeme. [21:44] jackpot [21:44] martinphone: You should be able to just fine. [21:44] Unit193, I have like 20 apps I need to keep the config for [21:44] after the nuking [21:44] Well, hidden folder rather than file. [21:44] yes, that [21:45] all my hidden folders ammount to 12GB [21:45] never though could be that much [21:45] are you including .cache? [21:45] You could nuke the cahce of ff for example. [21:45] (if you're getting .firefox, I believe you are. let me check.) [21:45] or .gvfs [21:46] and yes, if you've got mounted .gvfs volumes, there's that [21:46]
