| drupin | hello peepz | 02:02 |
|---|---|---|
| cadeonehalf | anyone know how to fix sound issues on Macbook Pro 3,1? I'm in 12.04, and I can see it's an old problem. I've tried unmuting everything with alsamixer, as well as installing pulseaudio (neither worked), and I've added the model code (mbp3) in the alsa-base.conf file, which seemed to work for other people but didn't for me. Currently, the laptop speakers return no sound, and I can get VERY | 03:24 |
| cadeonehalf | quiet sound when I plug in headphones | 03:24 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: you can see its an old problem? | 03:37 |
| holstein | oh, the headphone jack doesnt trigger the speakers to mute or something? | 03:37 |
| cadeonehalf | well, there are a bunch of similar errors circa 2008 (when the 3,1 first came out) | 03:37 |
| holstein | thats pretty light i say | 03:38 |
| holstein | i wouldnt sweat that | 03:38 |
| cadeonehalf | I'm not certain what the issue is, it's a fresh install of 12.04 and I get zero sound | 03:38 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: open a terminal and run | 03:38 |
| holstein | aplay -l | 03:38 |
| holstein | do you see a device? | 03:38 |
| cadeonehalf | yup, Intel ALC889A | 03:39 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: you are using ubuntustudio? XFCE? | 03:39 |
| cadeonehalf | um, Ubuntu 12.04 | 03:39 |
| cadeonehalf | I was redirected here from the main IRC | 03:39 |
| holstein | so, you have pulse installed by default.. what have you done so far? | 03:40 |
| holstein | anything that would break anything? | 03:40 |
| cadeonehalf | perhaps | 03:40 |
| holstein | if it were me, i would load up a live CD, and just tweak til it works | 03:40 |
| holstein | alsamixer is a good place to start | 03:40 |
| holstein | trying different kernels.. like the live 12.10 CD.. | 03:40 |
| holstein | trying different alsa revs | 03:40 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: also, install pavucontrol and run that | 03:41 |
| cadeonehalf | pavucontrol? | 03:41 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: i would do that first.. pavucontrol | 03:41 |
| cadeonehalf | kk, I'll go try that for a moment | 03:41 |
| holstein | thats easy, and wont break anything | 03:41 |
| cadeonehalf | ok, got the pulseaudio installed | 03:46 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: pulseaudio is installed by default.. you shouldnt need to install it | 03:46 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: if it wasnt installed, we should look at your installer disc | 03:46 |
| cadeonehalf | well, I got the volume control from the software center | 03:46 |
| holstein | pavucontrol | 03:47 |
| holstein | ok.. run that and take a look at what device is being used | 03:47 |
| cadeonehalf | k, it's using Built-in Audio Digital Stereo | 03:48 |
| cadeonehalf | and when I un-mute it, the red light in my headphone jack turns on | 03:48 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: that seems promising | 03:49 |
| holstein | i remember having to do something tricky to get my macbook sound working, but it did work | 03:50 |
| holstein | that was the least of the issues however | 03:50 |
| holstein | i geve up on it a few weeks in | 03:50 |
| holstein | gave* | 03:50 |
| cadeonehalf | ok, and when that red light is on, I get barely audible sound | 03:50 |
| cadeonehalf | weird, the sound is the only issue I've run into | 03:50 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: but, you get sound? | 03:50 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: look in alsamixer | 03:51 |
| cadeonehalf | When I plug headphones into the jack I get sound | 03:51 |
| holstein | hit f5 and tweak *everything* | 03:51 |
| cadeonehalf | nothing from the speakers | 03:51 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: when i say "tweak everything" i mean, trust no labels | 03:52 |
| cadeonehalf | well, nothings muted in the alsamixer but still no sound from the speakers, and the same barely-audible sound in headphones | 03:54 |
| cadeonehalf | tweaked everything | 03:54 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: ok.. assuming you havent done anything to break functionality, i would consider trying different alsa versions | 03:54 |
| holstein | i would look for and apply all updates | 03:54 |
| holstein | i would tri the 12.10 version, since it has a newer kernel | 03:55 |
| holstein | i would try 10.04 live since it has an older one | 03:55 |
| holstein | i would try live CD's til something works.. then i would note the kernel and alsa versions | 03:55 |
| cadeonehalf | wait, so 12.10 version or 10.04 live? | 03:55 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: i would try whatever | 03:55 |
| cadeonehalf | k | 03:56 |
| holstein | whatever i can load live | 03:56 |
| cadeonehalf | thanks for the help | 03:56 |
| holstein | til something works | 03:56 |
| holstein | it | 03:56 |
| holstein | it'll be an alsa version that supports it | 03:56 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: i assume you looked by the device at the wiki pages? | 03:56 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: i remember some helpful pages on my macbook there | 03:56 |
| cadeonehalf | yeah | 03:56 |
| holstein | i had a 1,1 or 1,2 | 03:57 |
| cadeonehalf | I think they're a little out of date because the modprobe.d file structure has changed a lot since they wrote those guides | 03:57 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: they should work great for 10.04 :) | 03:57 |
| cadeonehalf | k, I'll try to get that installed. | 03:57 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: just try it live | 03:57 |
| cadeonehalf | this may sound stupid, but what do you mean by live? | 03:58 |
| holstein | i wouldnt install anything til i sort out how to support all the hardware im interested in supporting | 03:58 |
| holstein | cadeonehalf: the LIVE cd's.. the installer cd's | 03:58 |
| cadeonehalf | ah ok | 03:58 |
| holstein | you just try them live | 03:58 |
| holstein | without installing | 03:58 |
| holstein | its an easy way to try different kernels and alsa versions without changing anything on your system | 03:58 |
| SirFunk | hmm. is there no hardware monitoring for firewire devices? | 05:49 |
| ailo | SirFunk: Depends on the device | 05:50 |
| ailo | HW monitoring implies the monitoring is done inside the device | 05:50 |
| ailo | Most devices have internal routing for that | 05:51 |
| SirFunk | ahh.. mine does but perhaps it's not supported on linux | 05:51 |
| ailo | The ffado-mixer should reveal stuff, but it can be hard to tell which is what if the names are weird | 05:52 |
| drupin | some thing is amking water like noise | 05:57 |
| drupin | making* | 05:57 |
| drupin | in new install | 05:58 |
| SirFunk | ailo: ffado-mixer has nothing about monitor | 05:59 |
| drupin | how i install flash player and plugins | 06:08 |
| cbx33 | hey guys | 06:57 |

| asker | how can i use this [12:35] <asker> explams? | 09:36 |
| nothingspecial | might need sudo if you don't have permission to use the framebuffer | 09:36 |
| smartboyhw | Sorry thanks to the console I don't how to get out of it | 09:36 |
| smartboyhw | Is the problem solved? | 09:36 |
| asker | no | 09:36 |

| nothingspecial | I think | 09:39 |
| asker | 1 min | 09:39 |
| asker | http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/705/31271262.png/ | 09:41 |
| asker | but im using 1366*768 | 09:41 |
| asker | its too big | 09:42 |
| smartboyhw | Uh what is that | 09:42 |
| smartboyhw | I never used the console | 09:42 |
| asker | in startup i see 2 second and i dont like | 09:42 |
| asker | 4 | 09:42 |
| smartboyhw | nothingspecial: Since I have no experience with console would you please help:) | 09:43 |
| nothingspecial | maybe you need to change the resolution in /etc/default/grub | 09:44 |
| asker | how | 09:45 |
| smartboyhw | nothingspecial: I see no resolution thing in /etc/default/grub | 09:46 |
| smartboyhw | Ah yes I saw it now:) | 09:47 |
| smartboyhw | asker: Type "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub" | 09:47 |
| nothingspecial | gedit will not work in the console smartboyhw | 09:47 |
| smartboyhw | Ah alright | 09:47 |
| asker | but | 09:48 |
| asker | i can use it in terminal | 09:48 |
| nothingspecial | nano | 09:48 |
| smartboyhw | asker: If you have access to terminal then use it:) | 09:49 |
| nothingspecial | but be very careful because you could break stuff | 09:49 |
| asker | but in startup before plymouth | 09:49 |
| asker | i can see it for 2 second | 09:49 |
| asker | after reboot ? | 09:50 |
| asker | will it be | 09:50 |
| smartboyhw | ... | 09:50 |
| nothingspecial | asker, you either need to use console-setup or edit /etc/default/grub, this problem is not ubuntustudio specific, you should try asking in #ubuntu | 09:50 |
| smartboyhw | Yep but then | 09:51 |
| smartboyhw | note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE | 09:51 |
| asker | if it not specific why it be only studio , not be in ubuntu | 09:51 |
| asker | what's different | 09:51 |
| nothingspecial | ah, then it is ubuntustudio | 09:52 |
| smartboyhw | asker: 1. Do you have that problem in Ubuntu? 2. Do you have that problem in Xubuntu? | 09:52 |
| smartboyhw | If then both answers are no then it is a Studio issue | 09:52 |
| asker | i know what differnt letter in front of ubuntu | 09:52 |
| nothingspecial | I have no idea why ubuntustudio would behave this way asker | 09:53 |
| smartboyhw | NO idea for me too | 09:53 |
| smartboyhw | ailo: PING | 09:53 |
| asker | me too | 09:53 |
| smartboyhw | Well I am not a dev | 09:53 |
| smartboyhw | So I dunno too | 09:53 |
| smartboyhw | Sadly len-dt has not woken up | 09:54 |
| asker | i have a question too | 09:54 |
| smartboyhw | asker: Please | 09:54 |
| smartboyhw | do ask your question:) | 09:55 |
| asker | at reboot , before oem logo i hear kind of sound like litte bang | 09:55 |
| smartboyhw | bang? | 09:55 |
| smartboyhw | On my experience there has NEVER been a bang | 09:56 |
| asker | from speakears | 09:56 |
| asker | but i cant expleams only with bang | 09:56 |
| smartboyhw | Ow man where's ailo? | 09:56 |
| asker | if you wait for 3 min i will record | 09:57 |
| smartboyhw | OK then | 09:57 |
| smartboyhw | Oh | 10:01 |
| smartboyhw | Oh asker is back:) | 10:03 |
| asker | yes | 10:04 |
| asker | i'm uploading | 10:04 |
| smartboyhw | ;) | 10:04 |
| asker | %50 | 10:04 |
| smartboyhw | ;) | 10:04 |
| asker | but i m saying it is being only when ubuntu installed | 10:05 |
| smartboyhw | asker: !? | 10:05 |
| asker | when windows installed | 10:05 |
| asker | i didnt hear that sound | 10:05 |
| smartboyhw | asker: So you have Ubuntu Studio and Windows installed? | 10:06 |
| asker | only studio | 10:06 |
| asker | http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=282161805229827&saved | 10:06 |
| smartboyhw | I am starting to think it is the system shutdown sound | 10:06 |
| smartboyhw | No the link is not working | 10:06 |
| asker | http:/ /www.facebook.com/video /video.php?v=282161805229827&saved | 10:06 |
| smartboyhw | NO | 10:07 |
| smartboyhw | Ah yes | 10:07 |
| asker | nowü | 10:07 |
| asker | its work | 10:07 |
| smartboyhw | Well it maybe the hardware then | 10:07 |
| smartboyhw | srsly IDK | 10:07 |
| asker | 0:03 to 0:004 | 10:07 |
| smartboyhw | ID | 10:08 |
| smartboyhw | K | 10:08 |
| asker | but it is only about linux | 10:08 |
| smartboyhw | asker: Does that happen in NORMAL ubuntu? | 10:08 |
| smartboyhw | Or even Fedora or openSUSE or GNU? | 10:09 |
| asker | it is being with all linux dist | 10:09 |
| asker | ubuntu , studio , suse ,fedora , mint , debian | 10:09 |
| asker | i tried those | 10:10 |
| smartboyhw | Hmm then IDK even more | 10:10 |
| smartboyhw | Anyway gotcha go see ya | 10:10 |
| ailo | asker: Whatever happens before the bios logo shows up, when you power on the machine, it has nothing to do with any OS | 10:19 |
| ailo | Don't know about rebooting though. There is usually a "system beep" when you do that | 10:20 |
| asker | windows was installed 4 day ago | 10:20 |
| asker | and sound wasnt then | 10:20 |
| ailo | asker: I'm just telling you the facts | 10:20 |
| ailo | If your computer is not on, and you power it on. If you hear a sound, it is because of the bios | 10:20 |
| ailo | asker: I never understood. Was it GRUB menu that was too large, or a console screen? | 10:21 |
| asker | i intalled ubuntu 4 day ago . a month ago and six monht ago | 10:22 |
| chimbo | hey guys | 10:22 |
| asker | and i use it for 2 week | 10:22 |
| chimbo | sorted out the guitarix issue | 10:22 |
| asker | after i installed windows7 | 10:22 |
| asker | but | 10:22 |
| asker | i never hear this | 10:22 |
| ailo | asker: The size of the console, when you co Ctrl + Alt + F1 is probably due to your graphic drivers. Nvidia? | 10:23 |
| asker | yes | 10:23 |
| asker | but | 10:23 |
| asker | desktop | 10:23 |
| asker | is normal size | 10:23 |
| ailo | I know. I have the same thing | 10:23 |
| chimbo | i liked the terminal font size in knoppix | 10:24 |
| asker | but | 10:24 |
| asker | terminal size is normal too | 10:24 |
| asker | only in tty | 10:24 |
| ailo | asker: Same here. It's the graphic card | 10:24 |
| asker | whatever | 10:24 |
| asker | ican fix it | 10:24 |
| asker | but this sound makes me crazy | 10:25 |
| ailo | asker: One way is to disconnect the speaker | 10:28 |
| ailo | There's a little speaker in the computer | 10:28 |
| ailo | Never heard of anyone having problems with a reboot system beep | 10:28 |
| ailo | If you disconnect it, you'll be sure to not hear any sound, no matter what you install | 10:29 |
| asker | okey | 10:30 |
| ailo | asker: If you only want to disable system sounds for Linux, it's possible to do that in the system scripts | 10:30 |
| ailo | I don't know exactly which one. You'd have to google. It's located in /etc/rc* something. halt probably | 10:31 |
| ailo | "halt" | 10:31 |
| asker | i lll search | 10:31 |
| asker | i did something | 10:36 |
| asker | i ll look | 10:36 |

| keithl | holstein: You mentioned some firewire interfaces yesterday that would work well without too much hassle (you were helping me with the RME issue). | 12:48 |
| keithl | Could you (or anyone) repeat suggestions? I could not get it working yesterday and need something that will pretty much work out of the box | 12:49 |
| cfhowlett | keithl: check the presonus site. while not advertised as linux compatible, many of their devices seem to work with ubuntu out of the box. | 12:56 |
| ailo-w | keithl: I suggest you ask ffado channel or list about your device | 13:01 |
| ailo-w | Since it's labeled full support, it seems strange you can't get it to work | 13:01 |
| ailo-w | Maybe it's your firewire port? | 13:02 |
| keithl | ailo-w: I did try last night -nobody home it appears. | 13:02 |
| keithl | ailo-w: I can try again | 13:02 |
| ailo-w | What does ffado-diag tell you? | 13:02 |
| ailo-w | Building ffado isn't the best place to start IMO | 13:02 |
| ailo-w | keithl: Best chance for a reply is on the mail list | 13:03 |
| keithl | ailo-w: It is finding the drivers, but throws a number of errors. What seems to be the case is that the version in the latest beta does not have the code that supports the RME, but I am really new at using firewire and it quite possibly could be user error. | 13:03 |
| keithl | ailo-w: I've been reading the list - I'll post something and see what comes up. | 13:04 |
| ailo-w | keithl: I'd like to see the jack error log, if you have it | 13:04 |
| keithl | ailo-w: Just getting into it, there are a lot of moving parts, making it hard to see where the real issue is | 13:04 |
| keithl | Ok - have to switch machines and I'll post the log. | 13:05 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: Here is the output from jackd | 13:09 |
| ailo-w | keithl2: Put it up on paste.ubuntu.com | 13:10 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: Here is what I get from ffado-diag | 13:10 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: Ok - one moment | 13:11 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: ffado-diag http://paste.ubuntu.com/1198611/ | 13:12 |
| ailo-w | keithl2: I was just looking at the ffado version for Quantal. And also the one falktx has built | 13:14 |
| ailo-w | Seems like none are of the version where someone reported success | 13:15 |
| ailo-w | But, I'm not sure that means your version shouldn't work | 13:15 |
| ailo-w | Er, no. Strange that. | 13:15 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: I looked at those as well - the success versions seemed to be only in the latest trunk | 13:16 |
| ailo-w | Ok, so if we try to build it then.. | 13:16 |
| ailo-w | What header was missing now again? | 13:16 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: It was devicemanager.h that was missing | 13:16 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: fwiw, here | 13:16 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: here's the jack dumup - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1198618/ | 13:17 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: My *guess* was that devicemanager.h was part of a gnome lib/app that is not installed, but that's only a guess | 13:18 |
| ailo-w | Been a while since I tried building ffado | 13:19 |
| ailo-w | I also had to build jack, if I remember correctly | 13:19 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: I think that is right - the inst I found said you had to build both | 13:20 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: I REAlly appreciate the help - unf. I have to head to work. Should be back online in a while. | 13:20 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: Did you see any hints in the logs? | 13:21 |
| ailo-w | keithl2: I can't build it myself right now. Don't have the space | 13:22 |
| ailo-w | No hints. | 13:22 |
| ailo-w | I can give it a try when I get home | 13:22 |
| ailo-w | keithl2: I'll let you know how it went | 13:22 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: Thanks! Since I am not logged in all the time, is there a way for you to send me a message | 13:22 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: Somewhat of a newbie to irc as well :-) | 13:23 |
| ailo-w | keithl2: I can post the instructions on ubuntustudio-user mail list | 13:23 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: that would be great! | 13:23 |
| smartboyhw | Hi ailo-w keithl2 | 13:24 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: Thanks again. | 13:24 |
| keithl2 | smartboyhw: Hello | 13:24 |
| ailo-w | keithl2: np | 13:25 |
| keithl2 | ailo-w: ttyl | 13:25 |

| asker | ipulse | 16:10 |
| asker | pulse | 16:10 |
| holstein | asker: pulse is not the volumen control GUI though, correct? | 16:10 |
| holstein | asker: what is displaying in a way you feel is not correct? | 16:10 |
| asker | yes | 16:11 |
| asker | then can you say me controler | 16:11 |
| asker | of ubuuntu | 16:11 |
| holstein | asker: you are looking for a volume control? | 16:12 |
| holstein | asker: i would try adding what is available in gnome3 | 16:12 |
| holstein | see what looks and works best | 16:12 |
| asker | i cant find name ofi | 16:13 |
| holstein | asker: it? the gnome volume control? | 16:14 |
| holstein | asker: i would just add other ones, assuming there are other options | 16:14 |
| holstein | asker: i would try asking in the ubuntu gnome respin channel when that is established | 16:14 |
| holstein | you might fine a gnome3 user in #ubuntu if ailo doesnt show up soon enough for you | 16:15 |
| asker | i was in ubuntu | 16:17 |
| asker | ch | 16:17 |
| asker | they send me there | 16:17 |
| holstein | asker: sure. but you need gnome3 specific help | 16:18 |
| holstein | asker: we use and support XFCE | 16:19 |
| holstein | asker: if it were me, i would look for and apply all upgrades | 16:19 |
| holstein | asker: i would make a new user and test | 16:19 |
| holstein | asker: i would remove the current volume applet and just use pavucontrol | 16:19 |
| holstein | asker: i would try and look for and/or create a bug against gnome3 | 16:19 |
| asker | thanks | 16:23 |
| holstein | asker: sound works otherwise? pavucontol works as expected? | 16:27 |
| asker | yes | 16:27 |
| asker | hi | 17:08 |
| asker | hi | 17:32 |
| asker | WHO CAN FIND ME PROGRAM LIKE DEADBOX | 17:32 |
| holstein | asker: what are you trying to do? | 17:32 |
| asker | five wrong password atemmp to delete my disk | 17:34 |
| holstein | asker: this is related to "deadbox" ? | 17:34 |
| ailo | asker: I saw that you had a problem with the volume image when using the keyboard to control the volume | 17:34 |
| holstein | im not familiar with "deadbox".. what are you trying to accouplish? | 17:34 |
| asker | ywa | 17:34 |
| asker | i want similar | 17:35 |
| asker | of | 17:35 |
| asker | deadbox | 17:35 |
| holstein | asker: lets assume i dont know what deadbox is, and you just have to explain the functionality you want | 17:35 |
| asker | deadbox is a program to secure user files | 17:36 |
| asker | if anybody try password for 5 times | 17:36 |
| asker | deadbox delete all user date program and os | 17:36 |
| holstein | asker: so you want to secure some files? i like to use truecrypt | 17:37 |
| holstein | asker: i wouldnt put all my faith in that... a forensic read of the disk might recover some data | 17:37 |
| ailo | holstein: Depends on how thoroughly you do it | 17:37 |
| ailo | I don't know in detail though | 17:38 |
| holstein | i dont see anything when i search "deadbox" | 17:38 |
| ailo | how about "suicide machine" | 17:38 |
| holstein | i know most folks encrypt, and true crypts is easy and full featured | 17:39 |
| holstein | truecrypt* | 17:39 |
| asker | my laptop | 17:39 |
| asker | supports encrypt | 17:40 |
| asker | data | 17:40 |
| asker | but | 17:40 |
| holstein | i mean, its all open, so you can just script that in theory | 17:40 |
| asker | i want to auto delte after 5 attemp | 17:40 |
| holstein | failed logins, start wiping data | 17:40 |
| ailo | Yeah, a simple script should do it | 17:40 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1372793.html is relevant, though references truecrypt as i did | 17:41 |
| holstein | lots of jokes there too | 17:41 |
| holstein | i would just script something with the amount of passes that i would trust | 17:42 |
| holstein | personally, i would still want it encrypted | 17:43 |
| pandoras | so, here im again | 18:15 |
| pandoras | with the same problem | 18:15 |
| pandoras | cannot use the USB-stick, hangs at the loading screen, and this time i get informations | 18:15 |
| holstein | what usb stick? one you made to boot the ubuntustudio iso? | 18:16 |
| pandoras | NOT a sandisk, that was my fist try, then i switched to a kingston | 18:18 |
| pandoras | Kingston DataTraveler 102 | 18:18 |
| holstein | the brand shouldnt matter... have you tried booting USB on this machine before? do you have another machine to test the USB stick on? | 18:18 |
| pandoras | holstein: it does load the bootmenu, and the splashscreen appears | 18:19 |
| holstein | pandoras: cool.. has it booted on another machine? | 18:19 |
| pandoras | and then it does nothing, so i figured out, it boots with the flag quiet | 18:19 |
| pandoras | so i removed this to get some information | 18:20 |
| holstein | pandoras: i wouldnt remove anything | 18:20 |
| holstein | its likely the graphics driver.. thats usually what hangs the boot up of the live media | 18:20 |
| pandoras | and the Part the boot-process is hanging is calles "Scanning disc for index files.." | 18:20 |
| holstein | pandoras: there are other options.. when tapping shift while booting, you see a bunch of options under F6 | 18:21 |
| holstein | pandoras: if you want, take the stick to another machine.. preferably one that has successfully booted a live linux distro from USB | 18:21 |
| pandoras | i know, but thats not the Problem, the Problem is the boot-process is searching for some index files, but i dont know wich one are needed | 18:21 |
| holstein | pandoras: all that is needed is there | 18:22 |
| holstein | pandoras: you dont need to troubleshoot what is missing from the iso if: | 18:22 |
| pandoras | md5dum checked ... | 18:22 |
| holstein | you have confirmed the downloaded iso, and/or verified the USB stick | 18:22 |
| holstein | pandoras: OK. the md5 means the downloaded iso is good.. now you verify the stick | 18:22 |
| holstein | pandoras: i would just take it to another machine | 18:22 |
| pandoras | i hope my old dell laptop supports booting from USB | 18:23 |
| pandoras | brb | 18:23 |
| holstein | pandoras: plop allows that | 18:23 |
| holstein | booting usb on legace devices | 18:23 |
| holstein | i wouldnt waste time doint what you are doing though | 18:23 |
| pandoras | ups. its an i686 CPU xD | 18:25 |
| holstein | ups? | 18:26 |
| pandoras | ups ... its still a german word xD | 18:31 |
| holstein | pandoras: im not following you.. what do you mean by "up's its an i686 proc"? | 18:31 |
| holstein | you have the amd64 iso? | 18:31 |
| holstein | is ups = oops? | 18:32 |
| ailo | I guess he was trying amd64 on i686? | 18:33 |
| pandoras | ailo: exactly, i forgot how old the Machine is | 18:35 |
| holstein | i think its worthwhile in your position to download a 32bit iso and make a 32bit stick and test it on the other machine | 18:36 |
| holstein | then, see what it takes to get that *same* stick to boot on the other machine | 18:36 |
| holstein | there are lots of options in that f6 menu to try | 18:37 |
| pandoras | found some more useful parameter | 18:47 |
| pandoras | brb | 18:47 |
| pandoras | after i discovered, it exist a special flag, to use explicit on the USB it makes no different | 18:58 |
| holstein | Pici: correct.. that is not the issue.. you wont need any special USB flags, or extra files | 19:08 |
| holstein | Pici: sorry... | 19:08 |
| holstein | pandoras: ^^ | 19:08 |
| holstein | pandoras: there are options under that F6 menu that might help | 19:08 |
