[14:04] <raysaas> I m facing problem like shutdown suddenly with ubuntu 13.10 after installing in Dell Vostro 1450 laptop, but couldn't find out why. Where can I get help. Would u plz mention me? 
[14:05] <Ekushey> you can't shutdown?
[14:18] <raysaas> Laptop shuts down suddenly.....
[18:02] <Ekushey> raysaas: hello again
[18:02] <Ekushey> sorry i had to go
[18:02] <Ekushey> are you still around?
[18:03] <Ekushey> are you experiencing this shutdown issue only from ubuntu?
[18:12] <raysaas> yap
[18:14] <raysaas> My collegues are diverting to ubuntu day by day. I installed ubuntu on one of their Dell laptop but crashes frequently, even though I repaired the boot. 
[18:16] <raysaas> There is also a message:
[18:16] <raysaas> acpid= exiting
[18:16] <raysaas> and something like /etc/default/speech-dispatcher disabled.
[18:17] <raysaas> please check the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6607674/
[18:18] <Ekushey> hmmm
[18:18] <raysaas> I aslo tried by enabling speech-dispatcher RUN=no.
[18:18] <Ekushey> how much RAM does this laptop has?
[18:18] <Ekushey> speech dispatcher is not a problem
[18:19] <raysaas> but there is no sound. Dell Vostro 1450
[18:19] <Ekushey> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201104-7890/components/
[18:19] <Ekushey> this laptop is certified by ubuntu
[18:20] <Ekushey> kindly try using 13.04
[18:20] <Ekushey> i think that should solve the problem
[18:20] <Ekushey> once 14.04 is out, upgrade...
[18:20] <Ekushey> 14.04 will be a LTS release
[18:21] <Ekushey> sorry for the trouble 13.10 is causing, this shouldn't happen
[18:21] <raysaas> 13.04 is better than 13.10 ?
[18:22] <Ekushey> the x.10 releases can be troublesome sometime... 13.04 should work out fine
[18:22] <Ekushey> give it a try
[18:22] <Ekushey> before install, try the live mode for an hour or so
[18:22] <Ekushey> or longer
[18:22] <Ekushey> if you don't face any issues, install it
[18:22] <raysaas> I tried 12.04 also. but its horrible on that laptop although its certified.
[18:22] <raysaas> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201104-7889/
[18:23] <Ekushey> not sure why you're having a bad experience, i haven't heard people complaing about laptop in quite some time now
[18:24] <Ekushey> this is what i used to hear like 5-10 years ago when support for laptops wasn't that great
[18:24] <Ekushey> please join https://www.facebook.com/groups/ubuntubd/ and post your questions there, as there are many more volunteers over there
[18:25] <Ekushey> here, usually 2-3 of us hang out and not that active
[18:25] <raysaas> RAM= 2GB. I think something wrong with installation process. But I couldn't understand.
[18:26] <Ekushey> did you create swap partition?
[18:26] <Ekushey> make sure you have a 4gb swap partition
[18:26] <raysaas> ya. 7 GB swap area.
[18:27] <Ekushey> 4 gb is sufficient
[18:27] <Ekushey> twice the amount of your RAM
[18:27] <raysaas> But I am confuse swap whether swap would be Primary or Logical partition.
[18:28] <Ekushey> logical is fine
[18:28] <raysaas> Thanks swap amount idea. 
[18:29] <Ekushey> np
[18:30] <raysaas> Would plz tell me how can I check RAM size in ubuntu?
[18:30] <Ekushey> type free -m on shell
[18:30] <Ekushey> or free -h
[18:34] <Ekushey> did you join on fb?
[18:35] <raysaas> A long time ago I joined fb page.
[18:35] <Ekushey> ok
[18:37] <raysaas> Thank for Terminal commands. Where can I learn these type of useful commands?
[18:41] <Ekushey> https://www.facebook.com/notes/ubuntu-bangladesh/useful-linux-command/10151670005022217
[18:57] <raysaas> thanks again for the detailed list of commands
[18:57] <Ekushey> np
[18:57] <Ekushey> :)
[19:01] <raysaas> I also fall in troubles using different type of internet usb modems. Is there any graphical modem manager for ubuntu?
[19:01] <Ekushey> not aware of one
[19:02] <Ekushey> but asking on the fb group would be best
[19:02] <Ekushey> i never used any usb modems so not the best person to answer
[19:03] <raysaas> ok. thanks. Why do u people generally use this IRC for?
[19:03] <Ekushey> generally hanging out
[19:03] <Ekushey> just a point of presence
[19:03] <Ekushey> irc is not popular in bangladesh
[19:04] <Ekushey> atleast no longer now
[19:05] <raysaas> Actually for the first time I m using IRC. U r the entity with whom I talked first over an IRC. I have really learned a lot in a short time.
