wxlhyponic: you're on a ppc machine?00:02
hyponicwxl i am on a mac mini 3.100:03
wxlhyponic: start here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#Why_do_I_have_no_sound.3F00:04
hyponicwxl i am new to linux so this might be a little advanced for me. i don't want to destroy anything more. PS we had to delete something b43 modprobe thing. but i remeber that we had to remove something that had with sound becuase the module crashe with the one we needed for the wifi.00:08
hyponici don't know if you might understand what i am talking about because i don't understand it myself :P00:08
wxlhyponic: you mean you had to add b43 or delete it?00:10
hyponicwxl had to add it. but it crashed with something else that was installed. Pulse audio or something (might be wrong with the name here)00:11
wxlhyponic: if you have pulse audio, that's strange. are you using lubuntu or ubuntu?00:11
hyponicxbmcbuntu wich is based on lubuntu. so i am in a xfce now00:12
wxlhyponic: does it come standard with pulse audio? cuz i wouldn't recommend it normally00:12
wxlhowever the xbmc part may require it00:12
wxldo they offer no support?00:13
hyponicwxl i think so.. i just installed from cd so i guess it did come with it00:13
hyponici don't care about the xbmc part. i just need to make the sound card work and they don't support anything outside xbmc itself00:13
hyponicwxl ?00:17
wxlby they do you mean xmbc or xmbcbuntu?00:18
wxloic00:18
wxlit IS xmbc00:18
wxlit's very unfortunate that they offer something and don't support an important part of its functionality00:19
wxldid the sound work before the issues with wifi?00:19
hyponicwxl never tested. i never had sound connected. it's not long ago that i installed it00:26
wxlhyponic: load up the live cd and see what happens. if it works, then we have to troubleshoot how you dealt with your wifi. if it doesn't, then we have to find out what you're missing.00:27
wxlanyone know what sortware to use to add stuff to an iPHONE (not an ipod)?00:27
hyponicwxl b43 crashed with: firmware-crystalhd for your audio card00:28
wxlhyponic: like i said, load up the live cd and check the sound. does it work or no?00:31
hyponicthat's what we did: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Xtd2U22D00:31
hyponicwxl working on it.. have to create the usb :P00:32
hyponicwxl i am not able to boot to the live cd. whatever i choose in efi boot it takes me straight to the installed version. it seems that it detects that it is installed and just takes me there00:56
wxlhyponic: so if you don't care about xmbc why are you using it? just put on lubuntu.01:04
wxlwell01:07
wxli gotta jet01:07
wxlgood luck!01:07
hyponicwxl i care about the xbmc. that is not the point. i have xbmcbuntu because i use xbmc. i ment to say i don't care if it messes up xbmc then that is another issue. i need the sound to work01:07
scofieldpengsorry to bother everyone,is anyone have tried to install rabbitvcs on lubuntu?07:08
scofieldpengmy distribution version is unbuntu07:09
scofieldpeng14.04 64bit07:10
wxlhyponic: ever get it figured out?13:26
hyponicwxl no13:28
hyponic:(13:28
hyponicwxl btw.. i ran xubuntu livecd no sound out of the box either.13:29
hyponicwxl no i removed everything and installed xubuntu 12.04. still no sound. no sound card detected either. might be a alsa thing from what i have been reading.13:29
average_guyI am not a ppc guy but I feel your pain hyponic, have you tried the soultion towards the bottom of this post?  What do you think wxl? Just googling to try to help...14:16
average_guyhttp://blog.costan.us/2009/03/ubuntu-810-or-904-on-mac-mini.html14:16
sgo11hi, after login, I saw "Xfce Notify Daemon" Error popup. It says "Unable to start notification daemon, Another notification xndaemon is already running". I have no idea why there are two notification daemon suddenly. which one is the default one in lubuntu? thanks.14:19
hyponicaverage_guy the only thing i see here that might fix what i am dealing with is installing Snow Leopard. i don't have any os x installation disks. i don't have the operating system at all.14:27
average_guydown at the bottom it says "Getting hardware to work" under that. it says it's outdated, is y i wanted wxl to have a look, i have never even seen a mac mini :P14:30
hyponicaverage_guy i have done options snd-hda-intel model=imac24 that didn't work14:31
average_guy:(14:32
hyponicthis is the most confusing thing i have seen14:33
hyponictried following this to install alsa drivers and stuff like that: options snd-hda-intel model=imac2414:33
hyponicsry14:33
hyponictried following this to install alsa drivers and stuff like that: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-aoa14:34
hyponicwhen i clone the git for driver and firmware there is no ./configure. this seems like a dead end for someone with my limited linux skill14:35
average_guywell, I tried.  my skill level is not that high either hyponic, running down things like this is how you get better.  I hope that you find a workable solution and share it when you do, or that someone more skilled than us chimes in14:42
average_guythere are other support avenues also hyponic, maybe #alsa14:42
average_guyI would check out irc.krono.net #macrumors14:43
hyponicaverage_guy thanks man.. i will give the irc channel a chance and see if someone with some skills can help out :)14:45

sgo11which is lubuntu default notification daemon? xfce4-notifyd or "/usr/lib/notification-daemon/notification-daemon" ? These two daemons try to autostart the same time and report error. I have to remove one. thanks.15:50

sgo11z15:56
sgo11average_guy, thanks a lot for your reply. can you run "ps -ef | grep xfce4-notifyd" for me? is that running in your place? thanks.15:56
average_guyyes, I see http://pastebin.com/TYeixwJT16:00
sgo11average_guy, thank you very much for the help. I will purge notification-daemon then.16:01

martin1989i tried to install debian but i had a lot of problems21:30
* absk007 achieved 1d 6h laptop running streak21:30
* ianorlin puts his laptop on suspend21:31
absk007martin1989, don't try to go deep down the linux. You might meet Linus :)21:31
martin1989hahah21:32
martin1989good one21:32
absk007learn the basics with friendly distros, then attack the enemies. Conquer them. And then, fight with, them on your side.21:34
absk007:)21:34
ianorlinofftopic chat can happen in #lubuntu-offtopic21:34
absk007ianorlin, was just giving advice to martin198921:35
martin1989i am not a noob man21:37
martin1989i tried ubuntu for 3 years21:37
martin1989then lubuntu, xubuntu, knoppix, puppy21:37
martin1989a few days ago i tried to install debian but i had a problem with the grub on the mbr21:38
martin1989so i came back to lubuntu21:38
martin1989i´d really like to explore debian but i cant install it21:39
martin1989anyway.. this is a great distro too21:40
martin1989maybe i´ll stay here21:40
martin1989i abandoned ubuntu at first because i saw that it was getting too similar to windows21:41
martin1989it tries to make things SO simply to the user, SO automatic, that the system itself becomes too heavy weight21:42
martin1989but LXDE team makes a great job keeping ubuntu light weight21:43
ianorlinalso one thing I noticied is LXDE runs much faster if you are off a slow dvd21:43
martin1989yeap :-)21:46
martin1989lubutu is excellent for small machines like netbooks21:47
martin1989(i am running it right now on a netbook)21:48
martin1989but for machines super old, i recommend puppy or knoppix21:48
anarkhosmartin1989: how long have you been using lubuntu on your netbook? it's merely a few weeks since i installed it on the acer aspire one netbook, but it's been good so far21:50
martin1989i used lubuntu 12.04 one year21:51
martin1989it was always fast21:51
anarkhosallright21:51
anarkhosno bugs, strange behaviour?21:52
martin1989nope21:52
martin1989knoppix and puppy are good choices for a netbook too but they dont have all the support that lubuntu has21:53
martin1989so if a problem appears you are on your own21:54
absk007which FS partition should be on a fast drive other than /home?21:56
absk007i keep some heavy apps in /opt so that will be on a fast drive too. What else should be on a fast drive for good perf.?21:58
