[14:01] <Culiforge> running a minimal headless system for xbmc and xorg is pulling 85% of cpu.. I've reinstalled xorg, my ati drivers, turned off compositing (I think) through xorg.conf.... I'm kinda stumped.. anyone?
[14:02] <Culiforge> oops, more info.. system is 11.10
[14:08] <Sidewinder1> Culiforge, Good morning. That doesn't really sound like a "beginner's" question. If no one answers, here, in a few minutes, you might tru in #ubuntu; it's kinda' fast mooving in there. :-)
[14:08] <Sidewinder1> try, even.
[14:12] <Culiforge> Sidewinder1: righto, thanks... I came here because "I'm" new... :)
[14:14] <Sidewinder1> Culiforge, Understood. We were all new once. :-) Just give all of the info above, all in one line in ubuntu and I'm resonably certain some one can hepl. Sorry I can'y. :-(
[14:15] <Sidewinder1> help with my typing, I need..

[15:49] <edlik> Every time I update my system lately I get an error message. Could someone help me check this out and guide me to fix it. Here is the paste bin http://pastebin.com/rczRtZEy
[15:50] <geirha> Based on the error message, you may have a syntax error in /etc/default/grub
[15:52] <edlik> That makes sense. I can hardly read the grub menu when it comes up.
[15:55] <geirha> Pastebin it and let's have a look
[15:56] <edlik> http://pastebin.com/SdUwijqt
[15:58] <geirha> Ah, Missing an end quote (") on line 11
[15:59] <geirha> So just edit it and add that, and try again.
[16:04] <edlik> Thank you so much, this looks like the answer!:)
[16:08] <geirha> :)
[18:09] <laurent_> hello
[18:16] <laurent_> just in case
[18:17] <laurent_> I'm having a hard time with pulse audio and audio devices... if someone is interested
[18:19] <pleia2> those aren't my forte, but you may want to give more detail to your problem to see if anyone else here can offer some help :)

[18:20] <laurent_> well basically I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with pulse Audio ; i'm trying to configure a 3rd party app which is trying to connect to the mixer, in order to play sounds
[18:21] <laurent_> usually this app deals with /dev/mixer, /dev/alsa-ctl, /dev/dsp, all of which are missing on my box
[18:21] <laurent_> I looked for an audio related device in /dev, but couldn't find any
[18:22] <laurent_> I certainly miss the point about the way pulseAudio works
=== webjadmin_ is now known as jalcine
[18:33] <laurent_> nice ! PulseAudio FAQ gave me a good one : using padsp for launching my app might help
[20:25] <ubuntu> can sombody please help me? I have nuked grub and can't seem to reinstall it. I have tried several walkthrus even installed "boot-repair" still no dice
[20:25] <ubuntu> am on an xubuntu live cd
[20:25] <ubuntu> have a partition map writtin down
[21:25] <geirha> Reached gutsy now. Next step, hardy
[21:32] <jalcine> geirha: o.O
[21:34] <geirha> Installed Ubuntu 4.10 in a VM and am upgrading it to 12.04 :)
[21:40] <jalcine> Oh jesus!
[21:40] <jalcine> Lol, I'd love to see that upgrade process.
[21:50] <geirha> From 6.06 to 7.10 has been a bit of a hassle
