04:11.10 | Utah_Dave | does anybody here have experience using ipods with feisty?> |
04:11.21 | baens | Utah_Dave: i do |
04:11.21 | Hunding_ | I have |
04:11.27 | clutchmm | well that didn't work either |
04:11.52 | baens | what didn't work? |
04:12.18 | Yorokobi | Utah_Dave, yup |
04:12.50 | Utah_Dave | well, I used to get little popups when I'd plug my ipod in asking if I wanted Amarok to manage it |
04:13.02 | Utah_Dave | I didn't say yes, because I was afraid of hosing my ipod |
04:13.09 | clutchmm | I installed frostwire with their .deb package and used the force architecture command in dpkg and when I try to start it my hdd light flashes a couple of times and nothing happens |
04:13.22 | clutchmm | I just tried a reboot and still nothing |
04:13.29 | Utah_Dave | well, I'm ready to take the plunge, but now it doesn't recognize my ipod |
04:13.36 | Utah_Dave | In fact, it doesn't mount it like it used to |
04:14.13 | Utah_Dave | I'm not sure where to start |
04:15.39 | baens | Utah_Dave: does dmesg say anything about the ipod being connected? |
04:15.51 | clutchmm | in fact azureus does the same thing |
04:16.10 | baens | clutchmm: can you run them from the command line and see if they complain about anything |
04:16.28 | clutchmm | with sudo frostwire? |
04:16.38 | baens | clutchmm: just frostwire |
04:16.57 | baens | clutchmm: and so with your vm sound thing, what volume level is set inside the vm it's self? |
04:17.14 | Utah_Dave | baens: it has some entries about the ipod. What am I looking for exactly? |
04:17.57 | clutchmm | baens: the win2k sound is all the way up, I couldn't find a volume control in vmware |
04:18.22 | baens | clutchmm: have you tried turning it down on the win2k side and see if that helps at all? |
04:18.30 | baens | clutchmm: i have mine set 1/3 of the way up |
04:18.58 | clutchmm | baens: yes |
04:19.13 | clutchmm | win2k is too quiet |
04:19.16 | baens | Utah_Dave: does it say something like this http://paste.f-box.org/136 |
04:19.24 | *** part/#ubuntu-utah Yorokobi (n=Yorokobi@unaffiliated/yorokobi) |
04:19.36 | baens | clutchmm: ooo, sorry got it switched :) |
04:19.45 | clutchmm | and frostwire in the terminal says:OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /opt/ hierarchy You need to upgrade to JRE 1.5.x or newer from http://www.java.com |
04:20.02 | Utah_Dave | oh, just notice my ipod is frozen |
04:20.12 | baens | clutchmm: did you install the jre from the ubuntu repos? |
04:20.25 | clutchmm | also says that java is out of date, but frostwire updated it to runtime 6 |
04:20.28 | baens | clutchmm: and also for the sound...is wave and sw synth full? |
04:20.50 | baens | clutchmm: if you try to do `java` what does it do? |
04:21.48 | clutchmm | java gives me a list of options for it |
04:21.57 | baens | clutchmm: k type `which java` |
04:22.26 | clutchmm | /usr/bin/java |
04:22.51 | baens | clutchmm: k type this `sudo update-alternatives --config java` and select the sun package |
04:23.22 | baens | Utah_Dave: is it unfrozen yet? |
04:23.51 | Utah_Dave | just reset it, and plugged it back into my laptop |
04:24.02 | baens | Utah_Dave: did that help or is it still acting that way? |
04:25.22 | Utah_Dave | baens: well, now when I plug it in, it doesn't start charging or indicate that it knows it's plugged in |
04:25.40 | baens | Utah_Dave: 0_o....that can't be a good sign... |
04:26.04 | Utah_Dave | baens: Yeah, it's got me a little worried too |
04:26.10 | baens | Utah_Dave: i hate when iPods don't work the way they should :) |
04:26.11 | clutchmm | baens: frostwire works now, let me check the mid and wav volume on win2k vm |
04:26.22 | baens | clutchmm: cool |
04:26.31 | baens | Utah_Dave: does dmesg say anything werid about usb or anything? |
04:27.27 | Utah_Dave | I'm getting something repeating about " sdb READ CAPACITY failed |
04:27.56 | baens | Utah_Dave: try a different port, or try and plug some other usb device in |
04:29.04 | Utah_Dave | baens: I tried another port and still nothing happened |
04:29.32 | baens | Utah_Dave: same thing in dmesg? |
04:29.44 | Utah_Dave | yep |
04:30.26 | baens | Utah_Dave: any other usb devices you can try to use or is that the only one? |
04:31.41 | Utah_Dave | baens: ah, my usb drive isn't working either |
04:31.48 | Utah_Dave | should I reboot? |
04:31.56 | Utah_Dave | or is there a way to restart the usb services? |
04:32.08 | baens | Utah_Dave: ya reboot |

04:38.58 | baens | Utah_Dave: i *believe* it automatically finds the iPod so you don't need it started, however i've never used amarok to manage my iPod I usually use gtkpod |
04:39.10 | clutchmm | baens: say my name, I think I got it |
04:39.21 | baens | clutchmm: do you have it yet? |
04:39.54 | Utah_Dave | there we go |
04:39.54 | clutchmm | for some reason that didn't make any noise |
04:39.58 | baens | clutchmm: 0_o hmm wonder why |
04:40.10 | baens | Utah_Dave: cool, so looks like your usb just crapped out for a sec |
04:41.03 | Utah_Dave | yeah, it's working now |
04:41.11 | baens | great |
04:41.40 | Utah_Dave | thanks for your help! |
04:42.01 | baens | np, just told you the easiest fix in the book, reboot :) |
04:43.03 | Utah_Dave | yep! :) |
04:43.09 | clutchmm | baens: that's weird I used the workaround that was supposed to fix the mixing problem but while I just had a program open in win2k I had no sound on linux and when I closed it I had sound again |
04:43.30 | baens | clutchmm: interesting... |
04:43.45 | clutchmm | yup sound is back |
04:43.52 | baens | clutchmm: ya, i don't get why, but sound sharing in linux is a pain in the butt |
04:44.05 | baens | clutchmm: i still haven't figure out the magic to get it all working |
04:45.02 | clutchmm | I found a supposed fix with alsa-oss that seemed fine until I just changed the volume levels on win |
04:46.14 | clutchmm | well, at least frostwire is working now, and it seems to be what I was looking for, I tried amule once but it was confusing as hell |
04:46.31 | baens | clutchmm: cool, i have found that i have that same problem and as soon as I found a fix I will let you know |

16:33.29 | herlo | maquis: yeah, in places like Chicago or New York |
16:33.38 | herlo | big cities, you know? |
16:33.40 | maquis | hrm... i was thinking more around seattle |
16:34.02 | herlo | maquis: I think Bellevue is the closest we get... |
16:34.09 | clutchmm | I was in Seattle last October |
16:34.25 | maquis | i told my manager that if there was ever an opportunity for rhce training, i would like to take the class... i also mentioned that i knew of a company that provided the training |
16:34.40 | maquis | apparently amazon doesn't see the need for their devs to have rhce, though |
16:34.57 | maquis | he said he'd keep an eye out for any linux-related training that he could get me in, though |
16:35.47 | herlo | maquis: I decided today (well, last night) to become a Fedora Ambassador. |
16:35.57 | maquis | herlo: what does that involve? |
16:36.28 | herlo | maquis: much like becoming an Ubuntu member, you've gotta agree with the standards set forth by the maintainers and such |
16:36.48 | herlo | then, once you've done that. Then you have to contribute to the project by promoting Fedora... |
16:37.14 | clutchmm | When my wife and I went to Seattle there was a radio station that had a cruise around the Puget Sound, it was pretty cool, like a dance club on the water |
16:37.43 | herlo | clutchmm: that sounds familiar, I think they do that reguarly |

16:46.46 | clutchmm | so, is NTFS writing with feisty pretty reliable? |
16:47.53 | sontek | clutchmm: yeah, ntfs writing has been stable for a few years now |
16:48.26 | sontek | clutchmm: just grab the package ntfs-3g |
16:48.41 | clutchmm | I haven't tried it yet, I just remembered the warning on the wiki |

16:58.38 | sontek | herlo: ahh, My favorite datacenter is in Troy, The only reason I don't have a box there anymore is the distance |

17:35.44 | synic | sontek: yeah, didn't like it. I've used a couple console clients |
17:36.03 | synic | I like bitlbee just because I IRC so much... |
17:37.54 | sontek | yeah, I love irssi for group chat (IRC) but for individual private conversations I think the interface is rather clunky |

19:25.53 | clutchmm | is it possible to change the size of my partitions to add more space to my linux partition without losing my data? |
19:29.26 | herlo | Zelut: sent, enjoy the food there. You must have the seafood, its awesome! |
19:29.57 | herlo | clutchmm: possible yes, easiness depends on how you've set it up... |
19:30.17 | baens | clutchmm: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ |
19:30.20 | herlo | clutchmm: you're gonna want to back up your partitiion tables and your filesystem data just in case |
19:30.58 | herlo | baens: how trustworthy is that way? I tried that once and it wasn't at all reliable |
19:31.47 | clutchmm | ok, I have partition magic on my win2k partition and was going to see if I could just make my win partition smaller and add the space to linux |
19:31.50 | baens | herlo: fairly, i've used it a dozen times to resize window partitions and its never broken anything (you do need to defrag and scan disk the windows partition before it works thou) |
19:32.23 | herlo | baens: but linux has no need to defrag |
19:32.28 | clutchmm | hind site being 20/20 I should have done the whole thing for linux and just used win2k in vm |
19:32.36 | baens | herlo: the only problem i had (but i think it was me not watching what i was doing) is that i nuked one of HP's special paritions (the ones that allow you to not boot into a os but rather just play a dvd or music) |
19:32.51 | baens | herlo: correct, windows needs to be defragged before you resize a windows partition |
19:33.22 | clutchmm | sight* |
19:34.52 | baens | herlo: from what i hear and stuff, the live cd works the best too, and the newest release isn't bad |
19:35.25 | herlo | baens: that's what I used. Was very ncurses |
19:35.46 | baens | herlo: they have a gnome frontend now |
19:35.55 | clutchmm | is it possible for me to make a new install cd that will restore my system to what it is now with all my packages and tweaks? |
19:36.02 | baens | herlo: i *believe* its based on the gentoo live cd with just gparted and tools on it |
19:36.06 | herlo | baens: yeah, I think I recall seeing that |
19:36.32 | herlo | clutchmm: yeah, but its not *that* simple |
19:36.52 | herlo | clutchmm: you have two choices in my mind. Ghost or kickstart |
19:37.00 | herlo | and yes, ubuntu can use kickstart |
19:37.13 | herlo | trick is, figuring out what you've currently got installed |
19:38.13 | clutchmm | I'm not worried about it being tough, but if I have to reinstall at some point I would rather not have to find all my packages and redo all my tweaks again |
19:40.56 | Zelut | synic: ping |
20:09.39 | maquis | clutchmm: why would you need to reinstall? |
20:11.43 | atoponce | synic: how do i copy text from gvim to another X app? |
20:12.06 | atoponce | or, if anyone knows that answer, actually |
20:13.20 | clutchmm | maquis: in case I mess something up and crash my system, also my dad would like to do the same thing for similar reasons |
20:14.08 | maquis | clutchmm: ah... |
20:14.18 | maquis | thus far, i've kept to my goal of never reinstalling due to having destroyed my system |
20:14.30 | maquis | i'll admit that many times it would've been easier to reinstall |
20:14.56 | maquis | but it's rather difficult to get to a point where reinstalling is the only option |
20:15.17 | maquis | as far as that, though, i'd suggest just backing up /etc |
20:15.23 | maquis | (along with /home and such) |
20:16.04 | clutchmm | yeah, but mostly for my dad, it is easier for him to reinstall and he won't switch completely over to linux until he can restore his system without help |
20:16.12 | maquis | k |
20:16.18 | maquis | back up /etc/ and /home |
20:16.30 | maquis | that'll get all the personal settings |
20:16.46 | maquis | then you just have to install the software |
20:17.36 | clutchmm | so that will save the tweak he did to fix his KMV switch? |

20:49.31 | baens | er wait sorry, the ip of the vm, not linux itself |
20:49.42 | baens | you need to get the IP reported by win2k inside the vm itself |

20:50.20 | baens | yes |
20:51.06 | clutchmm | it should be the same one I used to setup the other share right? |
