<0> Hi, I'm having trouble gettin xmms to play music, it says " Please check that: Your soundcard is configured properly. You have the correct output plugin slected. No other program is blocking the soundcard.
<1> does a cd work ok?
<1> when you put it in?
<0> My souncard works because Limewire plays music. I don't have any programs running other than xmms so it has to be the output plugin what is that ?
<0> It's an Mp3
<1> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Multimedia_Player_.28XMMS.29
<0> I'll check that out thanks . :)
<2> anyone know how to put a new MBR in ubuntu?
<0> ***ociating MP3s with it didnt work
<1> well sounds like your sound isn't setup properly
<1> what does it list for you in sound properties
<1> you don't have any regular mp3's
<0> I have a bunch of regular mp3s
<0> I'm trying to instal vlc media player
<1> and what happens
<1> that should install by apt-get
<1> with no problems
<1> but really it isn't the player if your sound is messed up
<1> then you might want to see if installing another type of sound driver will help
<1> checkit: you using gnome
<1> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_configure_sound_to_work_properly_in_GNOME
<0> yeah I didnt get the option to use KDE

<3> jgodwrk it worked ! :) thanks
<3> now my last problem is mounting my second hdd
<4> hola
<3> I've been trying for a while
<4> sudo fdisk -l
<4> what does that say?
<3> /dev/hda1 * 1 4664 37463548+ 83 Linux
<3> /dev/hda2 4665 4865 1614532+ 5 Extended
<3> /dev/hda5 4665 4865 1614501 82 Linux swap / Solaris
<4> doesn't seem like fdisk finds it
<3> ohh man maybe I forgot to set the hdd as slave
<4> :)
<3> haha its on slave
<3> but I forgot to connect the power
<3> you have no idea how long I was trying
<4> well. then it shouldn't be a problem to mount it?
<3> mount -o,rw /dev/hda# /mnt/hda#
<3> right ?
<3> let me reebot I'm pretty sure thats it though
<3> hey errbody :)
<3> This is most likely my last question of the day
<3> How do I change the permision of a folder through the terminal
<3> to rw
<5> opticnerv: There a few ways to do it, all with the "chmod" command
<3> thats what I'm reading now
<3> I'm trying to figure it out
<5> usually it goes like this "chmod -R a+rw foldername"
<5> opticnerv: what exact permissions do you want ot give to the folder? do you want to give "rw" the everyone, or just yourself, or the group also or even some other combination?
<3> everyone
<3> it's actually an entire hdd
<3> its changing everything now
<3> 120gigs full :)
<3> can I start the file browser from the terminal ?
<2> anyone know how to put a new MBR on a partition?
<5> opticnerv: Are you running Ubuntu ou Kubuntu?
<2> ubuntu
<2> do you put the MBR on there before partitioning with fdisk?
<3> ubuntu
<3> hrmm
<2> is kubuntu that much different?
<3> I did sudo gksu nautilus
<5> opticnerv: by file browser I ***ume you mean Nautilus so just type "nautilus"
<3> and I tried to change the permisions through nautilus
<3> but it says the disk is readonly
<3> when I mounted the disk I did sudo mount -o,rw
<3> thats the correct way rigght ?
<5> opticnerv: what does the "mount -l" command tells you about this specific mount point?
<5> jonchimpo: kubuntu uses the KDE desktop environment (DE) instead of the GNOME DE
<5> jonchimpo: although it is entirely possible to install KDE from within Ubuntu
<2> got it... do you use fdisk to create an MBR?
<2> or does syslinux do this?
<3> /dev/hdb1 on /mnt/win type ntfs (rw)
<5> opticnerv: oops, you can't write to NTFS from Ubuntu, even if mount says it can
<3> ohhh
<3> alrighty
<5> it's a limitation of the ntfs driver
<5> opticnerv: we have to thank M$ for not giving all the specs (or at least enough of it) to the OSS community in order to create a reliable driver to read AND write from Linux
<3> Thanks bill !
<2> does syslinux create an MBR on the specified partition?
<5> opticnerv: although there is a new project that's just been started a few weeks ago called NTFS-3G (if memory serves) that can do just that, but I doubt it'll be trivial to implement in Dapper Drake... maybe we'll see it in Edgy Eft
<3> Dapper Drake ? what does that mean ?
<5> jonchimpo: good question, aren't afraid you'll hose your HD if you attempt to overwrite the MBR?
<3> I keep seeing that and I'm relatively new to linux I've used Red had and knoppix a few times
<2> no, i'm not... right now i'm trying to install ubuntu on my flash drive
<2> is there a difference between a bootloader and the MBR?
<5> opticnerv: Canonical, the company that makes Ubuntu (Kubuntu and Xubuntu) use code names for all the release of Ubuntu
<5> opticnerv: Ubuntu 6.06 is code named "Dapper Drake", 5.10 was "Breezy Badger" and the next one will be code named "Edgy Eft"
<3> ohhhh I get it.
<5> jonchimpo: the MBR isn't a bootloader, the MBR actually starts a bootloader
<3> For the new version will we have to do a fresh install or can we import our programs to the new one ?
<6> Anybody know anything about VMWare?
<5> opticnerv: because of the wonderful packaging system used in Ubuntu (actually coming from Debian, the distribution that Ubuntu used as the base) it is extremely easy to upgraded to the new version
<5> Phydoux: depends on which version
<3> nice ! :) When is planned to be released ?
<6> 5.5
<5> opticnerv: every new version of Ubuntu are released roughly every 6 months, Dapper Drake was released in June 2006 (hence the version number 6.06) Edgy Eft should be released around Dec 2006 or maybe Jan 2007
<2> hmmmm...i must not have an MBR on my flash drive then
<6> Well, heres my problem. Maybe you know the answer... I am running Ubuntu under Windows through VMWare. Somehow the Virtual Network settings have locked me out of mIRC under Windows... Basically it looks like it connects to a server then it gives me an Error and closes.
<5> Phydoux: I'm pretty knowledgeable with this version
<3> nice :) thanks for all the info
<5> opticnerv: u r welcome
<6> I need to either fix the settings or fix mIRC
<2> can someone help me out on how to create a new MBR
<5> Phydoux: that is strange, VMware shouldn't interfere with the "host" this way
<3> VikJES " u r welcome" does'nt sound like you
<5> jonchimpo: let me take a look at my notes, just a sec
<2> thank you!!!
<5> VikJES: what do you mean, did I say something stupid?
<6> It (mIRC)popped up a window shortly after I started running Ubuntu. It said something about the virtual settings. I thought it would be OK so I said OK or allow or something to that affect.
<3> nope not at all you just used short hand and you didn't before
<6> I tried re-installing mIRC but that didnt work either.
<5> opticnerv: ahh ok, I thought I offended in some way ;)
<5> jonchimpo: what do you want to accomplish exactly, do you want to transfer Ubuntu LiveCD on a USB pen drive?
<2> yeah exactly
<2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent?highlight=%28liveusb%29
<2> i've done all the steps in this wiki, but i get a blank screen w/ a blinking cursor when it tries to boot from my flash drive
<5> jonchimpo: I did this with another distro called "Slax" and it worked beautifully
<2> did you have to manually create the MBR?
<5> jonchimpo: very stupid question: you are sure you can boot from a USB device from your system?
<2> yeah
<2> just set in this bios, right?
<5> jonchimpo: I have notes on how to DELETE the MBR with the DD command, can't find how to create one
<2> hmmmm... yeah, i've only seen articles on how to backup and restore the MBR with DD
<2> not how to create the MBR
<5> jonchimpo: yes that's correct, actually usually, you press a key during the POST and it gives you a list of possible boot device, if you a USB entry in there it should work
<6> Any clue as to how to fix my problem?
<5> jonchimpo: I have the "Linux Desktop Hacks" book from O'Reilly and it says in Hack #2 that knoppix has a utility called install-mbr that will do just this, don't know if it'll see your USB drive and let you write a MBR on it though
<2> install-mbr, eh?
<2> sounds promising
<2> i'll try looking that up
<2> thanks!!!
<5> jonchimpo: no problem
<5> Phydoux: can you try to stop all VMware related services (just for testing) and try mIRC again?
<5> Phydoux: also when you install VMware Workstation, it creates to Virtual network interfaces try to disable them too
<5> Phydoux: I meant "it creates two virtual network interfaces", I'm such a lousy typist
<6> I did disable the VMWare virtual network stuff and all that did was make it impossible to connect through Ubuntu.
<6> I have one Virtual network interfaces... Not 2.
<5> Phydoux: you should definitely have 2 (vmnet1 and vmnet8, if memory serves) also your IRC program, you're running it on the host (windows) right not in the VM running Ubuntu?
<6> Wait... Now I have 3 which is what I think I started with earlier today... VMNet0 is "Used to share Hosts IP", VMNet1 says "Private Network Shared with Host" (This one is enabled) And VMNet8 says "Virtual Private Network" (Not enabled)... I'm going to go try and enable it.
<6> Right, I'm running mIRC under Windows, Not Ubuntu
<3> Do I need anything special to watch DVD's
<5> opticnerv: go take a look at www.ubuntuguide.org all the required info is there
