[13:59] np [14:04] 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] you can't shutdown? [14:18] Laptop shuts down suddenly..... [18:02] raysaas: hello again [18:02] sorry i had to go [18:02] are you still around? [18:03] are you experiencing this shutdown issue only from ubuntu? [18:12] yap [18:14] 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] There is also a message: [18:16] acpid= exiting [18:16] and something like /etc/default/speech-dispatcher disabled. [18:17] please check the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6607674/ [18:18] hmmm [18:18] I aslo tried by enabling speech-dispatcher RUN=no. [18:18] how much RAM does this laptop has? [18:18] speech dispatcher is not a problem [18:19] but there is no sound. Dell Vostro 1450 [18:19] http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201104-7890/components/ [18:19] this laptop is certified by ubuntu [18:20] kindly try using 13.04 [18:20] i think that should solve the problem [18:20] once 14.04 is out, upgrade... [18:20] 14.04 will be a LTS release [18:21] sorry for the trouble 13.10 is causing, this shouldn't happen [18:21] 13.04 is better than 13.10 ? [18:22] the x.10 releases can be troublesome sometime... 13.04 should work out fine [18:22] give it a try [18:22] before install, try the live mode for an hour or so [18:22] or longer [18:22] if you don't face any issues, install it [18:22] I tried 12.04 also. but its horrible on that laptop although its certified. [18:22] http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201104-7889/ [18:23] not sure why you're having a bad experience, i haven't heard people complaing about laptop in quite some time now [18:24] this is what i used to hear like 5-10 years ago when support for laptops wasn't that great [18:24] please join https://www.facebook.com/groups/ubuntubd/ and post your questions there, as there are many more volunteers over there [18:25] here, usually 2-3 of us hang out and not that active [18:25] RAM= 2GB. I think something wrong with installation process. But I couldn't understand. [18:26] did you create swap partition? [18:26] make sure you have a 4gb swap partition [18:26] ya. 7 GB swap area. [18:27] 4 gb is sufficient [18:27] twice the amount of your RAM [18:27] But I am confuse swap whether swap would be Primary or Logical partition. [18:28] logical is fine [18:28] Thanks swap amount idea. [18:29] np [18:30] Would plz tell me how can I check RAM size in ubuntu? [18:30] type free -m on shell [18:30] or free -h [18:34] did you join on fb? [18:35] A long time ago I joined fb page. [18:35] ok [18:37] Thank for Terminal commands. Where can I learn these type of useful commands? [18:41] https://www.facebook.com/notes/ubuntu-bangladesh/useful-linux-command/10151670005022217 [18:57] thanks again for the detailed list of commands [18:57] np [18:57] :) [19:01] I also fall in troubles using different type of internet usb modems. Is there any graphical modem manager for ubuntu? [19:01] not aware of one [19:02] but asking on the fb group would be best [19:02] i never used any usb modems so not the best person to answer [19:03] ok. thanks. Why do u people generally use this IRC for? [19:03] generally hanging out [19:03] just a point of presence [19:03] irc is not popular in bangladesh [19:04] atleast no longer now [19:05] 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. [19:06] ah nice, my pleasure :) [19:06] i'm using irc for 15 years now :) [19:07] back then this is how we made new friends (also girlfriends) [19:07] but now there is facebook and so many other ways like cellphones :P [19:13] 15 years?
