| <willskills> guys anyone got any experience getting usb headsets to record? :) | |
| <willskills> I am trying to get teamspeak working | |
| <willskills> and I cant get playback or record in it | |
| <willskills> although everything else has playback | |
| <willskills> in sys>prefs> sound, I have usb audio chosen for all things | |
| <willskills> I have been reading about it a lot | |
| <willskills> I maybe need to make links somewhere? | |

| * GazzaK hides | |
| <chaddy> this isn't a support channel? | |
| * chaddy wonders what he is doing here | |
| <GazzaK> erm, talking to yourself? | |
| * GazzaK just figured out that itunes has funky visualisations | |
| <GazzaK> what colour should I paint my livingroom | |
| <chaddy> I may be talking to myself, GazzaK, but at least it's on /topic ;-) | |
| <GazzaK> talk to me instead | |
| <chaddy> when did the not support thing get added to the /topic? | |
| <GazzaK> dunno, weeks ago | |
| <GazzaK> we still do support here, I think it's more as a disclaimer | |
| <chaddy> no one reads th topic, anyway, I spose | |
| <GazzaK> true | |
| <chaddy> for a living room, GazzaK, I'd go either green, blue or brownish | |
| <chaddy> green can be very refreshing | |
| <GazzaK> it's green atm, I hate it | |
| <chaddy> ours is blue atmo | |
| <chaddy> got to be the right green ;-) | |
| <GazzaK> blue is cold, so I don't want that | |
| <GazzaK> I was actually thinking of one wall dark grey, the others light grey/silver ish | |
| <chaddy> primary colours on different walls? | |
| <chaddy> ooh | |
| <chaddy> nice | |
| <chaddy> that could be nice here, all the furniture and technology (except the sofas) is silver | |
| <GazzaK> yeah, I just bought a big shiny telly | |
| <GazzaK> know anyone who wants a 32" crt tv??? | |
| <chaddy> white ceiling and a black floor would set that scheme off nicely | |
| <chaddy> nah, we've got a 28", it's enough for us for the foreseeable future | |
| <GazzaK> the floor is fake wood, but it will be oak, same as the furniture | |
| <chaddy> till we converge, at any rate | |
| <GazzaK> chaddy, it's free | |
| <GazzaK> free to the first ubuntu-uk'er who can collect it | |
| <chaddy> Aberdeen to where you are and back in a hire car would probably cost us more than buying one ;-) | |

| <GazzaK> chaddy, true | |
| <GazzaK> I'll abuse the topic for free adverts, since the TV is free I fail to see an issure | |

| * chaddy considers going out to buy a new HDD for the desktop to stick Debian on | |
| <GazzaK> chaddy, I got a 42" hitachi, and the mac mini looks super on it :-) | |
| <GazzaK> oh, HDD, as in Hard disk drive, eek, /me hides | |
| <GazzaK> damnit, the AV forums often use HDD for High Def Display | |
| <chaddy> heh | |
| <chaddy> lol in fact | |
| <chaddy> with a little bit of *facepalms* | |
| <chaddy> ;-) | |
| <GazzaK> yeah | |
| * GazzaK feels stoooopid | |
| <GazzaK> what size HDD? | |
| <chaddy> well, started looking at 80GB, then saw the 160GB for ~£9 more | |
| <chaddy> not really pushed for storage, I'd be happy with a 10GB one, tbh | |
| <GazzaK> I only have a 30 & 60 in the pc, a 60 in the lappy and a 80 in the mac mini, but I do have a 300GB NAS box for all the big important files | |
| <chaddy> just fancy putting it on a separate drive as I'm happy with my current Edgy/XP dual-boot | |
| <chaddy> anything more than 10GB would put me over the ½TB mark, I think | |
| <chaddy> been close for a while | |
| <GazzaK> I have funky easy release thingys on my power connectors, so I disconnect the power to the hard drive I don't want to mess up (on the PC) | |
| <GazzaK> at work I have 1.2TB, but that is a work server | |
| <chaddy> aye, the desktop only has one HDD at present; I suppose the best plan would be to get another 160GB one for it, in case I ever need to dd the whole thing; probably better if I ever go with RAID, too | |
| <popey> software raid on linux \o/ | |
| <popey> you could convert to software raid without losing anything | |
| <chaddy> need to have a look and see what there's space for in there | |
| <chaddy> fancy having a mess with LVM, too | |
| <chaddy> though just for the learning, don't really have a genuine call for it | |
| <GazzaK> anyways, I'm off out to find dimmer switches | |
| <chaddy> popey: you might get a quorum made up from in here | |
| <popey> for? | |
| <chaddy> ET ;-) | |

| <Seeker`> heya | |
| <daviey> hi | |
| <khronus> lo all | |
| <khronus> been trying to install ubuntu on an old system and the installer keeps crashing | |
| <khronus> any ideas? | |
| <thingy> kernel panics or installer just cores? | |
| <thingy> or segfaults? | |
| <khronus> i need to re run it to grab the error message ( unbless theres a log? ) | |
| <thingy> should be an installer log in /var/logs i think | |
| <thingy> anyway, if its kernel panics, then consider boot time params of checking stuff like memory | |
| <thingy> if its segfaults, core dumps, its still prob. hardware like a dodgy ide controller or bad hdd | |
| <thingy> or it could be a bug | |
| <khronus> ok most ofthat went over my head, i will look for the log first | |
| <thingy> :-) | |
| <khronus> what will the log be called? | |
| <thingy> installer.log i think | |
| <khronus> na, theres an installer folder but it just hasa file called version | |
| <khronus> theres a load of other logs | |
| <khronus> none called installer | |
| <thingy> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1665580 according to that in /var/log/installer my box is currently down so i cant go check |
