I obviously don't know the whole situation) [04:33] riza: Urchlay is right, it is no one's fault since it was his decision [04:33] Well, I had no idea the signs were there. [04:33] He just never said anything to me about it. [04:33] He always focused on others. [04:33] what if there weren't signs [04:33] Always tried to help others. [04:33] I don't know. [04:33] well, you're probably not a trained psychologist, probably haven't had real-world experience spotting the signs [04:33] riza: so if you are feeling bad on yourself, don't be, learn from it and smile, this is what he would have wanted [04:34] riza: you have the chance to start doing what he would have wanted right now [04:34] riza: :D [04:34] riza: what he would have wanted for you [04:34] riza: he wouldn't want to see you sad [04:35] aziztcf (~aziztcf@adsl-82-141-123-181.kotinet.com) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [04:35] riza: that can be told from your friendship [04:35] Action: tsccof hugs riza [04:35] Alt_of_Ctrl (~Inacio@a85-139-195-70.cpe.netcabo.pt) left irc: Ping timeout: 276 seconds [04:35] _slax0r_ (fire@slackware.x-shells.org) joined ##slackware.

[04:47] i know that Skywise, and i'll have to run with console and test let me start up X and try [04:47] also maybe try to find out if the failing mp3s have anything in common? (bit rate, made by the same encoder, weird id3 tags, ???) [04:48] i think the problem is bad id3 tags [04:48] as i remember [04:48] Lurzino (1000@host227-51-dynamic.8-87-r.retail.telecomitalia.it) joined ##slackware. [04:48] hello everyone!!!!! :-))))))))))) [04:48] but i don't know why they are not working [04:48] just bad name :S [04:49] bad as in out-of-spec for id3, or bad as in they contain characters with weird encodings instead of utf-8 or something? [04:49] I'd like a suggest for a complete updated repo for swaret using slack 13.1..... anyone knows one? [04:49] not i [04:50] find one of those mp3s that fails, remove the id3 tag (with "id3" or "id3tag" or something) [04:50] I think maybe "mplayer -dumpaudio" also removes id3 tags [04:51] Lurzino: check the changelogs on various mirrors listed at slackware.com (official) & alphageek.dyndns.org (unofficial). that'll settle which are 'updated' [04:51] ah ok thanks alphageek :)) [04:53] rapid (rapid@unaffiliated/rapid) joined ##slackware. [04:53] yep. "mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile newfile.mp3 oldfile.mp3" will result in newfile.mp3 containing only the audio data from oldfile.mp3, no tags at all [04:53] grazymax (~grazymax@host113-96-dynamic.181-80-r.retail.telecomitalia.it) joined ##slackware. [04:54] that's not a real solution to your problem, but you can use that to verify that it really is id3 tags causing the problem [04:54] alkos333 (~alkos333@173-111-108-97.pools.spcsdns.net) joined ##slackware.

[05:21] otherwise /kick [05:21] you'd be surprised [05:21] so [05:21] i've made the jump from ubuntu to slackware [05:22] i'm pretty happy so far [05:22] alphageek: might be no serious problem. Maybe you could just re-pot the thing (originally it was probably encased in epoxy or something, and the epoxy is now cracked) [05:22] got compiz totally going today [05:22] now its time for alsa's turn [05:22] essentially ive got sound through my laptop speakers and not through my aux out; ive been around the google's a bunch and ive tried adding the option line to my modprobe file [05:23] Urchlay: slight problem is the adaptor isn't screwed shut. it's bonded (glue, plastic weld, whatever) [05:23] that specifies the model [05:23] alphageek: you get the same thing with guitar pickups, they get "microphonic" and overly sensitive to vibrations in the guitar body (as opposed to the strings, which is all they're supposed to be picking up). Same solution... but they're made to be easily taken apart usually [05:23] just curious if anybody as any ideas on how i can proceed with troubleshooting this issue [05:24] sounds like you'd need a hacksaw and x-ray vision to know where it's safe to cut [05:24] pretty much :) [05:26] Axius_ (~fd@109.97.58.141) joined ##slackware. [05:26] or you could just ignore it... not so sure it'll cause a serious problem in the long term (maybe the vibration causes stress on some wires that will eventually break like a paperclip, or maybe not?) [05:27] wouldn't be such a problem if laptop makers didn't design weird proprietary connectors, then charge an arm and a leg for a replacement power supply [05:27] alphageek, if I install a txz package, where it would be installed usually?.... because I'm trying to find firefox directory to put in plugin's dir inside the libflashplayer.so file.... [05:28] (I mean what is it? 18 volts DC? you probably have something in your stash of parts that would work...) [05:28] just XOFF'd badblocks for a couple seconds & the singing stopped. given that, I'm going to ignore it [05:28] good plan [05:28] 20VDC @ 3.5A [05:28] yeah, you probably could rig something [05:28] _marc` (~marc@cl-2515.ham-01.de.sixxs.net) left irc: Quit: Leaving [05:29] better find out what the pins are on the connector before the semi-working PSU dies though [05:29] alkos333 (~alkos333@173-146-12-30.pools.spcsdns.net) joined ##slackware.

(seriously, what's making you think it needs to be removed, and what are you going to replace it with?) [05:30] i need it to be updated [05:30] why are the versions different? [05:30] should they not be the same? [05:30] the driver is part of the kernel [05:31] why, does your sound not work, or something? [05:31] sound through laptop speakers not through headphone jack; whats happening is there are none of the extra channels showing up in the alsamixer [05:31] (actually, what do you run to get that nicely-formatted list of the driver/lib/utils version?) [05:31] i try specifying the model number in options in modprobe and noting changes [05:31] oh [05:31] i found this spiffy script [05:31] 1 sec [05:32] ah thanks blondais :) [05:32] Strykar (~wakka@122.169.64.168) left irc: Ping timeout: 276 seconds [05:32] http://paste2.org/p/926929 [05:33] alsa-info.sh [05:33] hm, so the sound does work sort-of anyway? might be that alsa just plain doesn't support all the features of the card (and yes, you might fix that by upgrading the driver, but then again you might not. Best do some reading beforehand...) [05:33] im just perplexed as to why the driver version and library version is different [05:34] i tried compiling the updated driver from source but it didnt do much as i run that script again and it still is thinking i'm at 1.0.21 [05:34] rrh (~foo@217.75.82.130) left irc: Ping timeout: 245 seconds [05:34] you cannot "update a driver" from teh interwebs. the alsa driver is a kernel module, it is part of the kernel [05:35] right. [05:35] and why does the version have to be the same, anyway ? [05:35] and I have never heard of headphones with more than 2 channels [05:35] i dont have a steadfast reason; i'm assuming that is part of the conflict [05:36] ass [05:36] ump [05:36] although the alsa driver sources *are* available separately (newest version, possibly newer than what's in the newest kernel). They're still kernel modules though (when you "make install" them, that overwrites the ones that come with the kernel) [05:36] and by channel when you type alsamixer [05:36] the list of things [05:36] slacknub: you may upgrade your kernel to 2.6.34.1 [05:36] probably, there is no sound to headphones, if not added before boottime, i suppose [05:36] blondais: nonsense [05:36] why? had that issue earlier [05:37] esp, with usb ones [05:37] gaah. The electronics industry perfected the standard switching headphone jack, when, in the 1930s? why are laptop makers trying to "improve" it? [05:37] everywhere i found this on google talking about sound coming out of the laptop speakers but not he headphone jack the fix was the same [05:37] because it's "usb", man! USB will save the dolphins, and everything [05:37] add option line to modprobe conf specifying model [05:38] xxcv (~asdf@c122-106-162-239.carlnfd1.nsw.optusnet.com.au) joined ##slackware.

[05:39] it was fun encrypting by hand [05:39] ironically video card was easy [05:40] encrypting? [05:40] just followed the slackbuilds steps [05:40] the driver version mismatch is a non-problem... unless in your specific case, a newer driver (read: kernel) would support your card better [05:40] i thought sound was going to be easy [05:40] cool then i wont worry about it [05:40] rrh (~foo@217.75.82.130) joined ##slackware. [05:40] I dident get my speakers to work either so I upgraded to the latest drivers for everything and now everything is working fine. [05:41] slacknub: kernel compiling is not hard, though, and it is good for learning up [05:41] wait, are your headphones just regular headphones, plugged into a regular 1/8" headphone jack? [05:41] or are they actually USB? [05:41] no regular headphones into a regular headphone jack [05:42] crazy part is on ubuntu i just removed pulseaudio and installed alsa [05:42] i wish i copied my modprobe conf before i nuked it [05:42] slacknub: but the laptop speakers work? [05:42] in that case, it really pisses me off that it's even possible to have the problem you're having [05:42] yes tsccof [05:42] slacknub: checked alsamixer? [05:42] yeah alsamixer seems to be missing [05:42] options [05:42] like there is no aux box [05:42] to mute or unmute [05:42] the headphone jack should be dumb hardware, not something it's at all possible to mess up with software [05:42] running XFCE or KDE?

[10:54] also wicd has a few bugs that I have noticed [10:54] several times wicd has tried to connect to a wireless network other than the one I have selected.

The slackbook is too old to note that it's completely useless now and alien's wiki specifically says "don't use this" [10:56] um, hideous? stick the key in the file and restart a script [10:56] what if you have multiple wired connections, raela? like if you connect via ethernet at home and at school but you use dhcp for the school connection and a static ip for the home connection [10:56] or is editing a text file too complicated? [10:57] lol [10:57] there's no reason to be snarky :P [10:57] popl: I wouldn't know since I don't work with static connections. can't wpa_supplicant handle multiple of those as well?

[10:58] so it's just editing one file [10:58] popl: I have about 20 different connections in my wpa_supplicant.conf, and connect to them all just perfectly. [10:58] chopp: wired, you mean? [10:58] if it was just rc.inet1.conf and you could do wpa or wep without needing extra config files... and rc.wireless.conf stopped shipping as a decoy [10:58] popl: no wireless [10:59] Drakevr (~drakevr@unaffiliated/drakevr) joined ##slackware.
