[12:29:12] <SatManUK> hi i am running kde live cd but xine can't initialise my audio drivers?

[12:30:56] <SatManUK> Sound server informational message:

[12:30:56] <SatManUK> Error while initializing the sound driver:

[12:30:56] <SatManUK> device /dev/audio can't be opened (Permission denied)

[12:30:56] <SatManUK> The sound server will continue, using the null output device.

[12:30:56] <anilg> does audio work otherwise?

[12:31:04] <SatManUK> im testing now

[12:31:39] <SatManUK> im guessing not

[12:32:12] <SatManUK> i am in contron centre - sound system i turned on the audio device (Sun Audio Input/Output?

[12:32:34] <SatManUK> i am going to try OSS

[12:32:54] <SatManUK> same error message

[12:33:14] <SatManUK> the sound works under the installed os

[12:33:56] <SatManUK> Impossible to start aRts with realtime priority because artswrapper is missing or disabled

[12:34:19] <anilg> so sound works on say the belenix desktop.. but not under xine?

[12:34:38] <SatManUK> according to Control Centre no sound is working

[12:35:01] <anilg> phooee.. no drivers for your card then

[12:35:27] <SatManUK> its standard intel AC97

[12:35:48] <anilg> do you know if it works on SXCE or osol 08.05/11 ?

[12:36:12] <SatManUK> pardon me opensolaris live cd do you mean?

[12:36:20] <SatManUK> or using the XFCE boot option?

[12:36:50] <anilg> i means the opensolaris live CD

[12:37:02] <anilg> or the solaris express distro

[12:37:16] <SatManUK> let me burn a copy and i will come back in on my laptop

[12:37:24] <SatManUK> ok?

[12:37:30] <anilg> ok..

[12:37:57] <SatManUK> for the record xine works under linux, so its not a hardware issue, its software. will try opensolaris now.

[12:38:16] *** SatManUK has quit IRC

[12:47:58] *** PupUser4d5698 has left #belenix

[12:49:22] *** SatManUK has joined #belenix

[12:49:32] <SatManUK> ok im back on laptop burning os8.11 now

[12:50:26] <SatManUK> anilg: i will send you a smolt system profile ok?

[12:50:50] <anilg> smolt?

[12:51:05] <anilg> your best hope for fixing issues is the belenix-discuss mailing list

[12:51:12] <anilg> theres a forum for it on belenix.org

[12:51:37] <anilg> paste your sound card details and also mention if it works on opensolaris live cd

[12:52:05] *** |SatManUK| has joined #belenix

[12:52:11] <|SatManUK|> http://www.smolts.org/show?uuid=pub_3f6bb9f3-f424-447e-8c3a-106df3564484

[12:53:21] *** |SatManUK| has quit IRC

[12:53:46] <SatManUK> anilg: if you look at that its a full hardware profile for the tower

[12:54:17] <anilg> i checked.. cant say off hand if the sound card is supported.. (but i think intel ones are)

[12:54:24] <anilg> post that to the belenix-discuss forum

[12:54:39] <anilg> theres also a device driver utility on the opensolaris livecd

[12:54:53] <anilg> which tells you if the hardware has a driver for it

[12:55:27] <anilg> http://belenix.org/Forums/belenix-discuss

[12:55:58] <SatManUK> booting to opensolaris now

[13:01:28] *** taltamir has quit IRC

[13:07:30] <SatManUK> anilg: i posted the forum on their i am going to test the sound by going on a website or something in opensolaris

[13:08:20] <anilg> or you could open the sound settigns under preferences.. and fiddle with the sounds to see if they play

[13:08:32] <anilg> also run the deveice driver utility on the desktop

[13:08:41] <anilg> it will tell you if the sound hardware has a driver

[13:11:18] <SatManUK> ok

[13:12:24] <SatManUK> i have a tone

[13:12:30] <SatManUK> so i guess that the test sound works

[13:14:03] <anilg> add that too to the forum post

[13:15:51] <SatManUK> done

[13:22:25] <SatManUK> do you think its something i can fix with a setting or a driver thats been missed?

[13:22:39] <SatManUK> is it likely to be hard to take the driver out of solaris and apply it to belenix?

[13:23:08] <anilg> belenix comes wiht all the drivers from opensolaris

[13:23:13] <anilg> + additional drivers

[13:23:24] <anilg> so it should be a matter of playing with the configuration

[13:25:00] <SatManUK> ok well i need to nip out for a while so i will try it again later

[13:31:42] <SatManUK> thanks for your help

[17:05:31] <|SatManUK|> anilg i have tested the sound on this pc inside XFCE on the Belenix CD-ROM and still I don't have any sound.

[17:05:41] <|SatManUK|> what should i adjust to try and get it working?

[17:06:00] <anilg> moinakg: |SatManUK| got sound on osol

[17:06:11] <anilg> but not on belenix.. Intel AC97

[17:06:20] <anilg> see the mails on belenix-discuss

[17:06:34] <anilg> any pointers?

[17:09:22] <|SatManUK|> also i tried it on my Acer Aspire laptop, first i started loading into KDE-Compiz but it froze, so i rebooted and tried kde plain, again froze and each time forth it refuses to let me enter a language option ie 40 it refuses to take any keyboard entry?

[17:09:55] <|SatManUK|> based on these i don't think i will test it on my EeePC

[17:18:32] <|SatManUK|> anilg, i am trying to mount my linux  partitions so i can access documents such to test, however i am getting an error from without the hdmount program?

[17:18:58] <|SatManUK|> is the command mount /dev/dsk/c5d0p3 /mnt/linux1 ?

[17:19:11] <anilg> mount -F ext2fs /dev/dsk/c5d0p3 /mnt/linux1

[17:19:17] <anilg> try that

[17:19:19] <moinakg> hello

[17:20:21] <|SatManUK|> operation not applicable to FSType ex2fs

[17:20:21] <moinakg> |SatManUK|: OpenSolaris works on EeePC

[17:20:34] <|SatManUK|> out of the box?

[17:20:40] <|SatManUK|> but its not working on this desktop

[17:20:56] <moinakg> there were some emails on the osol lists regd that ... i need to dig those out

[17:22:36] <moinakg> |SatManUK|:  While booting from CD select "More Options"

[17:22:48] <moinakg> there you will see a verbose debug option

[17:23:08] <moinakg> boot with that ... the last messages before it freezes will help

[17:23:46] <|SatManUK|> ok

[17:24:06] <moinakg> also in which environment are you trying to mount the Linux partition ? Is it a BeleniX installation ?

[17:28:18] <|SatManUK|> yes thats done i just needed root

[17:28:32] <|SatManUK|> im just running of the live cd at the moment

[17:32:31] <moinakg> what is the output of   /usr/bin/prtpart /dev/rdsk/c5d0p0 -ldevs

[17:39:37] <|SatManUK|> c5d0p0 = whole drive

[17:40:52] <|SatManUK|> > /dev/dsk/c5d0p3 Linux Native

[17:41:43] <|SatManUK|> I mounted my linux /home as /mnt/linux1 in belenix and my linux / as /mnt/linux2 in belenix

[17:42:07] <|SatManUK|> its just a case of getting used to the way it labels partitions

[17:42:28] <|SatManUK|> im just used to /dev/sdxx in linux obviously solaris works differently

[17:43:53] <|SatManUK|> how can i copy from the terminal into here? there seems to be no right mouse click option..

[17:46:57] <moinakg> you can select text and then click the middle mouse button on another window to paste it there

[17:49:07] <|SatManUK|> and with a 2 button mouse? both together?

[18:26:02] *** |SatManUK| is now known as SatManUK

[18:35:19] <moinakg> SatManUK: Can you try booting with tge Verbose Debug option I mentioned earlier

[18:35:45] <SatManUK> can you post it again please

[18:36:33] <SatManUK> hold on my EeePC keyboard isn't responding at all now.. lemme get my usb k/b

[18:36:34] <moinakg> While booting from CD select "More Options"

[18:36:42] <moinakg> there you will see a verbose debug option

[18:37:00] <moinakg> boot with that and the last messages before it freezes will help

[18:39:35] <SatManUK> no acpi verbose debug that one

[18:40:53] <moinakg> yes

[18:42:53] <SatManUK> ok done mounting live image

[18:43:20] <SatManUK> keyboard works (usb)

[18:43:28] <SatManUK> booting to language 40

[18:43:44] <SatManUK> booting to menu b - plain kde

[18:47:00] <SatManUK> sure i selected option b - however its loaded option a!

[18:48:22] <SatManUK> now to configure wifi on the eeepc

[18:49:20] <moinakg> SatManUK: I think it is ACPI problem

[18:49:33] <moinakg> it will work if you boot with the no acpi option

[18:50:13] <SatManUK> ok

[18:50:18] <moinakg> what is the output of   /usr/sbin/ifconfig -a

[18:50:26] <moinakg> it will show all detected interfaces

[18:51:48] <SatManUK> inet 127,0.0.1

[18:52:12] <SatManUK> local only

[18:52:45] <SatManUK> what is equivalent of wlan0?

[18:52:51] <SatManUK> what would the wifi card be called?

[18:54:57] <moinakg> try running ifconfig -a plumb

[18:55:02] <moinakg> then then run ifconfig -a

[18:55:35] <moinakg> the interface names will be named with respective driver, like say  bge0  for Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet

[18:56:28] <SatManUK> same

[18:56:48] <SatManUK> lo only

[18:59:56] <SatManUK> its atheros card iirc so ath0?

[19:00:12] <moinakg> should be but looks like not supported

[19:00:27] <moinakg> can you paste the output of  pfexec /usr/X11/bin/scanpci

[19:02:39] <SatManUK> theros Communications AR242x

[19:02:44] <SatManUK> Atheros*

[19:03:12] <SatManUK> 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adaptor

[19:05:34] <moinakg> I am interested in the complete output of scanpci

[19:06:50] <SatManUK> err.. how to get it from their to here... without network i don't know where my pen drive is..

[19:06:59] <SatManUK> its not this pc its another

[19:07:24] <SatManUK> can i write the an ntfs partition? or fat32

[19:07:30] <SatManUK> i can put it on an external hd

[19:07:36] <SatManUK> and then copy it over

[19:08:06] <SatManUK> sorry can i copy the file onto an ntfs partition and then bring it over

[19:22:49] <moinakg> unfortunately NTFS support is read-only

[19:23:45] <moinakg> ok the scanpci output shows vendorid and deviceid

[19:24:15] <moinakg> for eg>: vendor 0x8086 device 0x109a

[19:24:47] <moinakg> I want those values for the Atheros card

[19:25:03] <moinakg> and for any other nic card you have since no nic is detected

[19:25:16] <SatManUK> i have a plan going to move to another room and try ethernet up the mini pc

[19:26:01] *** moinakg has quit IRC

[19:26:53] *** moinakg has joined #belenix

[19:46:30] <SatManUK> on boot up i just noticed it said cannot identify uart chip at 2f8 and 3f8

[19:46:48] <SatManUK> is that likely to be wifi and ethernet

[20:00:11] <moinakg> SatManUK: uart is the serial port stuff

[20:00:53] <SatManUK> well even with ethernet the EeePC doesn't connect to the internet

[20:00:56] <moinakg> I need the vendorid and deviceid to identify what Wifi, and NICs you have

[20:01:07] <SatManUK> still no idea how i can paste a hardware profile in here without internet..

[20:01:17] <SatManUK> type it out line by line :)

[20:01:29] <moinakg> just type in the vendor and device ids for wifi and ethernet

[20:01:40] <moinakg> 4 hex numbers :)

[20:02:49] <moinakg> lots of eepc info here: http://masafumi-ohta.blogspot.com/

[20:03:20] <moinakg> there is an eepc opensolaris discussion list: http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/eeepc-discuss

[20:04:20] <SatManUK> wifi vendor = 0x168c device=0x001c Atheros AR242x Wireless PCI Express

[20:05:33] <SatManUK> ethernet = vendor=0x1969 device id =0x2048 Atlantic Technology Corp L2 100MBit Ethernet Adapter

[20:06:57] <moinakg> cool thanks

[20:07:11] <SatManUK> how is support for mobile broadband?

[20:07:32] <moinakg> what is mobile broadband ?

[20:07:52] <SatManUK> USB GSM Mobile Adapters

[20:08:11] <SatManUK> Huawei E169?

[20:09:50] <moinakg> that may not work

[20:10:08] <moinakg> your atheros chipset is supported via a newer version of the driver

[20:10:21] <SatManUK> how do i update it

[20:10:34] <moinakg> I will be uploading new package builds into the repository shortly

[20:10:38] <SatManUK> if i install the os to the hd

[20:10:44] <SatManUK> then i install the update via a cd?

[20:11:27] <moinakg> I can send you the instructions to update just the single driver, just send me an email reminder: moinakg at belenix dot org

[20:12:08] <moinakg> you can install individual packages from CD or USB flash

[20:12:09] <SatManUK> cheers moinakg

[20:12:19] <SatManUK> if i can find my pendrive :)

[20:12:29] <SatManUK> its in my room somewhere .. but so are many things lol

[20:12:59] <SatManUK> its unlikely to be a large file i will copy it onto my mobile memory card and transfer it that way

[20:13:04] <SatManUK> makes like a usbflash

[20:13:14] <moinakg> also do not forget to check masafumi's blog about the eeepc

[20:15:34] <SatManUK> is that on the website i will check it out .. gonna have my dinner and have an early night - i was up late supporting the opensuse 11.1 role out last night

[20:16:00] <SatManUK> thanks once again for your help. once i learn more i will give back :)

[20:16:27] <SatManUK> learning a new os is always complicated at first :) not all skills are transferable

[20:16:30] <moinakg> http://masafumi-ohta.blogspot.com/

[20:16:46] <SatManUK> ok loading now

[20:16:53] <moinakg> yes there is some initial trouble
