yea you can write the code in pretty much whatever you want, there are some IDE for linux like KDevelop

!fr | picador_

Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.

and Eclipse

DJ-_-: no, you need a static ip to run a dns server on it. if you have a static ip you can make the dns1 and dns2 point to the same ip.

Anyone know how to get an ACX 111 TI wireless card pci card going with Ubuntu?

just installed ubuntu dual boot with xp,but cant access my wireless in ubuntu

!wlan | ruks

hi

just to brake it down, I:l write the code in Kdevelop then compile it with the command gcc foo.cpp -o foo. But what does build-essentail do?

ok, so i am better off with CNAME, well i have to configure mail servers after which i will make a CNAME record, thx

DJ-_-, You could, because NS records take a host name instead of an IP address, but it's not a good idea to have a domain's nameserver on a dynamic static ip hosting address, and it wouldn't help with the original problem.

didnt catch that?

Sorry, I don't know anything about wlan - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

thx man

if you already know how to program most of that will transfer over to linux, the main new things you will need to learn for larger projects is how to create Makefile's, automake, autoconf are good things to look at

i will have to install my machine. can i save all the list of installed packages from dpkg or apt and read it after reinstallation to get the same config up and running again?

build-essential is a package that pulls in the packages you need to build most stuff on ubuntu

!wireless | ruks

Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs

DJ-_-: the proper way is make an A entry for yourdomain.foo CNAME for www.yourdomain.foo and add a MX to yourdomain.foo and so on.

KDevelop may be able to do the building for you as well, i haven't used it myself though

Im kind of a programming noob

does anyone know where I could get some skydome images for beryl?

DJ-_-: if you want two mailservers you can create another A entry for ie. mail.yourdomain.foo and add a differnt MX.

what if I wanted the A entry to point to a website in freehostia

actually i'm pretty sure kdevelop will build stuff for you, i just don't know what the commands are in the menu

dpkg --get-selections

build-essential is a collection (pseudo package) of packages that are useful;

ok

you can write code in any text edittor and use gcc to compile

says roaming is on,i have been the ubuntu site and read about ndiswrapper

how much free space is reasonable for the root part to have for the system to operate effectively?

I'd recommend vim but everyone has their preferences

but once downloaded i dont know how to execute it

anyone know how to fix the "software index is broken" error?

DJ-_-: if i understand you correct.. that has nothing to do with the dns anymore. Just point it to the IP of freehostia and they'll have to create a VHOST in the webserver config.

sean_, I don't know, but it sounds like something to do with apt-cache

can i talk to you in pm?

hello everyone, greetings from finland

it wont let me do anything, i cant install anything or update anything

DJ-_-: so that the webserver knows which webpage to serve if someone rquests a webpage on www.yourdomain.foo
DJ-_-: goahead

ok

sean_, look through "man apt-cache" "man apt-get" etc... maybe there is some option to reset some caching

sorry for repeat.... but anyone know about TI ACX 111 Pci network card with Ubuntu 7.04 ?

anyone know how to get meta tracker to index thunderbird email?

how do i do that exactly?

Hey there, I just have a quick question about how kernel updates work in Ubuntu. The last update broke my sound card (making it so that the internal speakers of the machine do not mute when a headphone is plugged in), so I've been booting off the previous kernel which is fine. Another kernel update just appeared and I'd love to give it a spin but I'm afraid of losing the ability to boot my current kernel. Will I keep the older ke
rnel as well?
Thanks

and how do i apply it after a clean installation?

Can you compile hosting in Kdevelop?

sean_, open a terminal and type man apt-cache quit the man pages with : and then q and enter

ubuntu just keeps adding lines to menu.lst so you can fallback to older kernels

Beamoo, look at wikipedia what an IDE is

funny thing this is, no tweaking to do (well there always are) but now my system is in nice shape and i'm just relaxing, drinking coffee and listening to classical music :P

I'll go ahead and see if it works then and if not give it a bug report.

Beamoo, are you learning to program in general or just learning to program in C?
(or C++)

hmm, it appears there aren't updated ISOs for Feisty (however there are for Dapper)

I think storm left, can anyone help with failed xserver? He had me post log to: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25406/

general

dclam, maybe they did not have time for that yet. and it might not be done automatically.

well in linux, i know some language i just need to get started with the apps

i like this gnome-xchat version

well it's it's own program

yeah, i ment, i like this gnome frontend for it
simple and elegant

Beamoo, depending what you're trying to do (i.e. what you want to write programs to do, or for) you might find it easier to use a friendlier language to learn

Can someone point me to a location where I can order more than 3 CDs for my LUG?

like?

shipit.ubuntu.com used to take larger orders, but now there's a 3-CD max

if you want to be able to knock up quick and dirty programs quickly then perl is excellent for that

if i recompile the kernel, do i need to rebuild the binary nvidia driver (klm) ?

anyone here know about making cat5 cables?

sirbooboo, post your xorg.conf too please

Ive been with visual basic now for awhile

I've been making them for years with no problem.

but thats just for windows and now i with linux hosting so..

setuid, i think you have to email them with a specific request and an explanation of why you want more than 3 copies

most likely yes

I have a tester that's a patch check
and everything seems fine

How have you been writing the visual basic programs?

yet... the damned cables won't work.

CheshireViking, Its for a popular lug. THey sent me 50 CDs just shy of a year ago.

predaeus, i think they just don't do it for non-LTS versions. looking at the ISOs of edgy and feisty, their timestamps indicate they aren't updated. I'm guessing they don't bother if it's not LTS

"0 CDs requested on 2006-08-03. 50 CDs were approved and sent to the shipping company on 2006-08-08."
ack
"70 CDs requested on 2006-08-03. 50 CDs were approved and sent to the shipping hosting company on 2006-08-08."

hello !!

even if i keep the same kernel version and only change one option in config? i'm interested in hi mem support

VIA 8235 soundcard does not record on Ubuntu Feisty. Any Clue?

afk

dclam, probably yea, but I can't think of any reason why they would not automate that process

help

most liekyl yes

marco_linux, probably not supported. Find a soundcard made by a vendor that supports Linux.

I have some problem with battery monitor of my notebook on kubuntu 7.04

thanks
!nvidia

To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

in paticular kde-guidance-power-manager don't work properly

predaeus, i'm guessing respins have to go through a QA process that can't be fully automated

dclam, probably because they introduced fatal errors in the repos before, that had to be fixed, so CDs would need testing....
yup

the monitor of the battery don't indicate the level of the battery !
some one can help me with manage of the battery in kubuntu 7.04 ??

To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse

I know, but they say me same thing

setuid, not sure what else you can do, all i'd suggest would be to try the special request page with the explanation about the size of LUG & whether the;s a specific event that you'd need them for

what is the package that show the level of the battery in notebook ?

it's included..?

dclam, somebody posted a minimal ubuntu install cd here before that could be found in the forums, and it would only install very few packages and fetch the rest from the repos. you could look for that.

yes, but now don't work properly...so....what are tha necessary packet ?

predaeus, ooo thanks

!mini | dclam

The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD

Hey man.

is this correct?

what is the problem ?

it probably comes from ~/bin/ie6

Yes of course

it worked perfectly for that matter

Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.

lol ok, when i make a bridge in the /etc/networks/interface and restart the service, i have this error messagDon't seem to be have all the variables for bridge0/inet.
Failed to bring up bridge0e:

allright, but what program should i use?

python

allright

naa Beamoo
.php
or C++

#ubuntu-de

I dont think you can mount the iso as the same time as you install it, because when you are formating the system everything goes away and the mount ting also..

gwall he said 'begin'

anyone heard any fix for VideoLAN (VLC) ALSA fix that makes sound crackling on many videos by default?

!xgl

python or perl are best to start off with I think

Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems - Help in #ubuntu-effects

hehe qaldune i began with C==

But I wont be formatting all the harddrives, only one..

C++*

so you do

both are easy and forgiving and won't give you constant compilation errors like C

I cant seem to get, how to program c++ in linux seems like alot of trouble

how can I add my harddisk to the repo? source.list
is it possible
?

hi

Beamoo

being interpretted (well, kinda in perl) they have nicer error messages

mono

I can't adjust my time, I change it, click close, and then it is still unchanged
how to fix?

i did never seem to program on windows

Can someone please help me. Iv tried every possible thing. I can't get my start menu logo changed, I wanna change it to something else but no matter what I do, nothing works. Iv been through the forum, posted my problem, no response, I have searched and nothing useful comes up. Can someone please help me.

i have understand that, but stil if you dont format the disk whit the ISO file on, you will format the system that makes the PC think that the ISO is a cd, or something like that..

programming c++ in linux is same as programming c++ in windows; you write the source then compile it;

i had Windows XP on my "main" computer week ago ..then i bought new 500 Gig hardisk and went "Hell, no Vista for me, so Ubuntu it is"

can I add a hard drive to the repos? sources.list

mono?

this is so annoying

mono compiler

ok

all these little things in ubuntu not working

i hate vista

search it

boghog, what doesn't work for you?

we all do..

i started using windows when it was version 3.0 ...

I can't adjust the system time

TheVault, do you mean the gdm login theme? or the icon on the applications menu?

it was now time to let it go fully, i get enough it at work :P

Dam, I was hopeing I could use like the netboot mentod of cdnless install.. then just instead of having it download, have it install from a different harddrive

cant i compile in Kdevelop?
it seemed like a good app

yup

so "one thing", not "all these things"?

anyone help me here
?

3 by right clicking on the time panel

The applications menu. Like the logo you click and then it shows the menus, like Administration, Preferences, Places etc

btw Beamoo

how do i do that? cant seem to find the button haha :P

i got a guide to learn C++

can I add a hard drive in sources.list
?

an interactive one

link it :P

sure

i made my /home partition 460Gig and have my stuff there, that way its easy to reinstall ubuntu (or other distro) if neede

Beamoo pm

is the timezone set correctly?

formatted it using XFS ..is XFS good fsystem?

to bad, but still I am not quite sure about this, but in mye head I dont see a way to do this. And I have never ever heard of someone who has. You got to put in a CD or something like that.

gordonjcp, yeah it's set to CEST

and you're in CEST?

i was torn between ReiserFS and XFS ...went the XFS route

yes

TheVault, sorry no idea if you are on gnome, it is a bit complicated there, I think you need to change some config file or rename the icon file.

yeah i have written to u :P

oh but i made my /boot as EXT3 just for compatible sake

hehe
Beamoo

Aww man. Do you know anyone who knows how to change it?

u need to be indentified
nickserv

lol ok, when i make a bridge in the /etc/networks/interface and restart the service, i have this error messagDon't seem to be have all the variables for bridge0/inet Failed to bring up bridge0, any body know this error? I had make bridge before but never return this error, i look kernel but i don't know what is need for bridging?

which version of Ubuntu are you using?

TheVault, nah sorry :-D

wich means:P

Alrighty, I'll keep asking

the image host file you want is distributor-logo.png do a search for it, can't remember where it hides

too bad i havent found any player supporting Moneky Audio with CUE/APE style..i have many albums encoded that way

What is the best hosting RSS reader?

gordonjcp, 7.04

wich means:P

./nickserv register pass

gordonjcp, oh it looks like it suddenly updated the time now

ok, so you're set to Europe/Amsterdam?

the one you write you're self

i think only way is to rip ape back to wav and then compress them again in FLAC

People where saying its under /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/ but I replaced that logo there and then restart the panel with the killall gnome-panel command in the terminal and then it just stays there

gordonjcp, it is weird because when I looked right after changing it it was still saying the old un-adjusted time, but I guess it takes a while beforei t updates or something

possibly
maybe it only updates once a minute?

WAV ?

heh. I've tried liferea and others before, but they were crashy. Stick with bloglines.com I suppose.

MarcN, liferea is nice. but there are others too.

I think it depends on which icon theme you are using eg /usr/share/icons/Human/24x24/places/distributor-logo.png for the Human theme

aha - select "show seconds" in preferences and it updates once a second ;-)

tryed pipes.yahoo.com or something like that ?

MarcN, oh, only saw your post now.

gordonjcp, ahhh, ok that explains it hehe

But how do i compile in Kdevelop?

Beamoo dont use it
go to add remove
and get

right now I am using the Glossy theme that came with Ubuntu

Mono

there should probably be something that forces an update when you close the window

Gwall, Beamoo, just open a new channel

lol k
#gwall

yeah

hey guys, what do you guys like my fonts, i think they are nice http://img487.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotsa0.png

predaeus, pipes in interesting, but I really don't want to write my own RSS reader...

MarcN, liferea worked fine for me so far. that other python one kept crashing.

halo

I understand, then you just have to look on the internett.. I didnt find any I liked, soo then i wrote my own, love it. Just the way I like it

should use the default in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps then. did you copy the new file as root?

MarcN, also firefox can read feeds but it's not very practical

agreed. I'll give lifrea another go

hi, anyone know how to get opengl apps working over vnc?

tom_ Terabit ethernet?

liferea or liferea-mozilla do you like better?

Well I did gksudo nautilus and then went in and changed the original name to distributor-logo.png.bak and then I moved my new image I wanted there but with the same name as distributor-logo.png

or more stable

Then I did killall gnome-panel and nothing happened

dunno then, sorry

lol, but surely the images that need to be drawn are the same physical size, therefore the same numerical size as a normal vnc?

Thanks

MarcN, no idea, the one I've got is just liferea it seems

where is the definitive walkthru to rebuild the kernel? i searched and everywhere i turn there's a different tutorial

aa

what should i use to open .ace files?

!.ace

kkk

is comcast blocking outgoing pop3?

bayzider, it seems your right click menu is broken then; are you running under sudo or as root?

Beamoo, might be a bad ace file, try it on a different archiver maybe

can ubuntu desktop join a domain and use roaming profiles?

it isnt outgoing pop3, outgoing is stmp
or smtp

pop3 = in smtp = out

by outgoing i mean an outgoing connection

I'm not sure ror. I installed it from synaptic in Gnome. I changed my sesion to fluxbox. How do I run it as root?

weird that it's not working then

question...what is Fluxbox?

as in i'm not running a pop3 server. i can't connect to any pop3 server..

How do you compile a C++ project in Kdevelop?

fluxbox is a lightweight window manager

when i install edgy server on my machine, everything is fine. when i install feisty server, everything is fine until first login, when the keyboard stops working (even sysreq doesn't work). the keyboard works while booting, it just stops working at the login.

ubuntu doesn't come with any firewalls enabled right?

anyone know how i can get the keyboard working? is this a known bug?

why would you need it?

not_a_k, no, but the firewall is integrated into the linux operating system

the graphical frontend to ndiswrapper doesnt seem to work

How do you compile a C++ project in Kdevelop?

not_a_k, not in a way that would prevent you from connecting to pop3

hi, how I can block a version of a package ? Infact I use a package with dependences miss. So when I use aptitude, he claims that I must remove it. How doing to tell him letting this dependaces in normal way ?

invalid arguement" when i type "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

is anyone here a grub expert?

Probably. Ask away

im using the proprietary ati driver 8.37.6

I've plugged in a printer and it's been registered, but I don't see anything in dev which makes me believe that udev has taken the info from sysfs.
3 eire kernel: [ 1166.608000] drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 4 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04A9 pid

is anyone a wireless expert

is it possible to get elisa installed on ubuntu? withut having to comile and install it manually?

i deleted the line in grub to boot windows XP (dual boot), and I cant get the line back
any ideas?

Does my system have a driver for this printer ?

i use dapper ... i install this driver with an installation script ... install-fglrx-debian.sh

hi all

when installing ubuntu one of the options for "mount point" is suppose to be 'SWAP' right?

So nobody to tell me how I can force aptitude (or apt in general) to ignore some packages ?

Go here https://core.fluendo.com/elisa/trac/wiki/Packages

is anyone a wireless expert

thanks moogman

No probs.

i use dapper ... i install this driver with an installation script ... install-fglrx-debian.sh

how can I find out whether my printer is connected properly or not ? How can I find out whether I have the proper drivers ?

guys, is 7.04 really that great? where can I get the dvd?

"swap" should only be used for your swap partition. You should use "ext3" if you are configuring your root (/) or home (/home) partitions.

well if fglrxinfo says vesa then it isn't working. I can't help you with random install scripts

barata http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/releases/7.04/release/
dvd

i realize that but when i go to look through the mount point list swap isn't listed. and when i type '/swap' it doesn't accept it as a valid swap parition. and it tells me that all mounts must start with / so i can't use 'swap'
am i missing something?

thanks unimatrix9

i need ndiswrapper help

If I have downloaded a theme in a tar.gz how do I install it?

You don't mount a swap partition into your filesystem, so you should select blank, or "(none)" for the mount point :-)

nevermind i was missing something "swap" was the partitions format not the mount point

this script uses the driver from ati.com and installs this driver ... fglrxinfo says only vesa if i activate xinerama ... if i disable it, ATI-drivers run with 3D

use what works best for your system, that can be 6.06 or 6.10 or 7.04

i'm just use to windows and freebsd lol

No probs, enjoy :-)

Hi all. feisty and stellarium with unreadable fonts, how to fix that...

if 7.04 works use that, ...

anyone know how to fix grub to dual boot windows xp?

richard_ would true fonts help maybe?

mine is BLOATED

what's wrong with it?

so I will just reinstall anyway

hopefully this time it installs better. last time it wouldn't load xwindows so i'm trying some different install settings

i accidently deleted the line of code that allows xp to boot

WIRELESS HELP PLEASE

I try it but not help me that way

sry caps

and now i cant figure out how to re-type it in

this script uses the driver from ati.com and installs this driver ... fglrxinfo says only vesa if i activate xinerama ... if i disable it, ATI-drivers run with 3D support

Can you explain a bit further? Is your system only booting into Ubuntu now or somethign?

wow it REALLY helps to vaccume out the cpu vents of a laptop. tons of dust that was making it overheat.

i don't know sorry

grub works and lets me boot ubuntu, but not XP
i just need to re-add xp to the boot list

??? i dual-boot

are there any known problems with ati-cards and xinerama?

guys...how do i turn off beagle? or at least make sure it only runs when the laptop's not running on battery?

http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org - can you paste the contents of your /boot/grub/menu.lst into pastebin so we can take a look?

i was trying to make XP the default with grub, but moved the line up too high on the list and grub auto-deleted it
just a moment

like you are americans and like know about ubuntu developers,
i'd like to know:

wireless help please

looking for help with thin clients and managing users

why not just ask the question instead of asking for help?

why haven't ubuntu brazilian's official time zone?

scripter111 what ubuntu version? what wireless card?

i pasted it up

Hello. ALSA sound problem. Am using Dapper. Sound works and keyboard controls move Volume applet. BUT volume can only be adjusted from within an application. Any ideas?

i think my problem is in the root line
but i am not the expert, and cannot figure it out, and that is why i am here

linksys Wpc54GS

okay - i am TOTALLY new to ubuntu. looking to replace a windows domain controller. can ubuntu (easily, and without using command line) manage my users settings (such as their desktop, browser homepage, network drives, etc?)

i dont know what version i have.

hi, i have to restart my cable modem each time i switch between OSs. so when i reboot to ubuntu from windoze, i have to restart networking services after resetting my cable modem. whats the fastest way to do it thru GUI ? when i restart to windoze from ubuntu, all i have to do is reset the cable modem, windows auto restarts n/w services i guess

i think its kubuntu

eric, i always just uncomment the windows example entry in the grub config. That way its always there, and always at The #1 positiobn

how does CPU fan cooling work on laptops? is it controlled through the kernel. or hardware?

software (but not the kernel)

dr_willis, I can't even boot XP at all at the moment. I get an error when I try to boot it.

anyone who knows how to install cspace on feisty?

Sorry, what's the link to the pastebin you pasted?

CarlFK, is there a way i can increase cpu fan speed at certain temps?

moogman, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25417/

i have some really basic ubuntu questions involving managine a thin client network. if you can help, please PM me. i am not certain that we're going to use ubuntu, because there doesn't seem to be any EASY help out there, like there is for windows

it seems its going that the same speed if its 40 of 80... CarlFK , afaik in windows the fan speeds up when the cpu gets hptter

scripter111 i looked up your wireless card, seems you need the ndiswrapper to set it up, its a difficult job, do you have an friend with linux experience?

root root (hd0,0)
Should be ...
root (hd0,0)

i installed my wireless card in ndiswrapper but when i type "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" it says "error, invalid arguement"

hmm

heay, I have problems with the ubuntu installation

ndiswrapper says hardware present, driver present

Then change line #14 to change the default boot

moogman, it keeps auto saving it like that when i try to edit it in the grub editor

I'm having install problems too, i need someones who a pro regarding installing without a cdrom/usbstick etc..

hi all

I don't think it is at hd0,0

rapidhelp, the forums and wikis have a lot of stuff allready covered in detail. Ive only used ubuntu on my home lan however. its rather easy to get going. Not sure how your 'thin client' differer. but there seems tobe a comming focus on embeded and other minimal ubuntu systems comming down the road.

scripter111 does networks show up on the applet?

nope

I would suggest editing the file directly in this case.

scripter111 and what version of ubuntu are we talking?

who knows something about installing ubuntu?

i dont know

scripter111 when opening firefox. it shows...

blacktronic, boot live cd,, click install icon.. care to go into some details as to your problem?

scripter111 is this an fresh install?

I don't know of the grub editor sorry, so I can't help you with that

anybody have the Rufus 0.6.9 / 0.7.0 package for feisty?

how do i open the text edit program as a sudo?

? i dual-booted it

anyone know how to setup feisty to boot from usb stick?

scripter111 yes but is it fresh?...well never mind, open terminal type ndiswrapper -l what does it say? dont paste here...

http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_control_fan_speed_.28lm-sensors.29

moogman, I opened the file in the text editor and fixed the root line, but I do no know if the location of the windows partition is at hd0,0. How do I find out what to put in that spot?

what do i do if i came on the disc and now it wont work??!?!?!!!?

I would bet that it is on hd0,0 if you had Windows XP installed originally. Give it a go :-)

basically i;ve got this database error with digikama if i run apt-get remove digikam --purge and then reinstall i still get the same error msg

back

what do i do if i came on the disc and now it wont work??!?!?!!!?!?!??!?!?!??

I will re-boot! See you all in a few.

scripter111 in system / network , what do you see?

what do i do if i came on the disc and now it wont work??!?!?!!!?!?!??!?!?!??

i see wired and moden

what do i do if i came on the disc and now it wont work??!?!?!!!?!?!??!?!?!??

i know i should see wireless

hmm, so no wireless...

cox377, what is the error message... paste in the pastebin if its too long..

i see

i know i need to load the module(ndiswrapper)

lspci

hint to every one. don't install updated drivers when your running the live cd then install while still in that same live cd season

francois, have you tried the diskmounter applet?

nope, never heard of it, where do i find it ?

anone have the Rufus 0.6.9 / 0.7.0 package for feisty? (need it for my mother)

scripter111 take an long read here , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo

*any

Umm not sure where the DB is mate

NTLDR is missing

francois, right-click the gnome-panel..add applet.. and select disk mounter

i was only allowed to CTRL + ALT + DEL

ok

i just ran --purge, autoremove, clean & orphaned apps and reinstalled and still the same problem

when ubuntu downloads drivers for like the video card does it get it from the manufatures site or does it get it from ubuntus?

cox377, i have never used the program though... hmmm..,,, can you wait while I google around?

yeh mate would be great if you could - kinda makes me feel lazy haha i've done a little googling and google only gave 1 page and no answer

cox377, hehe.. ok. wish me luck then

what do i do if i came on the disc and now it wont work??!?!?!!!?!?!??!?!?!??" about 5 times in a minute.

lol good luck

when I try to boot windows xp in grub, I get the error NTLDR is missing. Any ideas?

Sorry eric, I can't help you with that one.

eric, this means that xp is broken ( not caused by ubuntu by the way ), your bootloader for xp is missing

arg, wrong window

unimatrix0, it worked fine until I deleted the line in grub (accidently)

francois, got it mounted now?

same problem, won't mount it

i see

but i can mount it with terminal

ok, i know what i need to do, i need to mount the module

hee whats the command to install grub again?

but i get "error: invalid arguement

that might solve that..

francois, hmm... try appending the umask option to your mount options? that might help

Is there anyway to reinstall grub so that it replaces my MBR? I installed another copy of ubuntu on another drive for testing purposes and now grub points to the /boot on that drive.

#ubuntu-fr

i don't know how to install grub again

tried....

eric, if i'm not mistaken you should be able to edit your grub boot loading options

if i use dmesg the system sees the drive being attached, but just wont read it properly

francois, and nothing? what filesystem type is it?

fat32

francois, hmm... can you do a filesystem check?

how do i do that ?

francois, not sure.. let me check..

morris562, how do i edit it to boot windows?
becuase not it does not at all

sudo grub-install

then do I reboot and hope for the best?

anyone know how to uninstall madwifi drivers?

francois, fsck.vfat i think is the command you want.. man fsck.vfat for more options

sudo madwifi -e i think

ok i'll look into it

francois, kool

scripter111 , please ask here again, i am at an deadend with it...

I got this error, install_device not specified.
grub-install [OPTION] install_device

sudo fsck.vfat -a /dev/sda1

Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 0.
any ides ?

CarlFK, If that's the real temperature i'd tell you to turn it off and figure out what's wrong..

Similar to the temps I get, but you probablyget more information asking in ##hardware

can i have help mounting ndiswrapper

active[0], 88.0 degrees C

cox377, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/digikam/+bug/48282 --- seems to be a well know problem... but no solution yet ..

scripter http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_install_Windows_Wireless_Drivers_.28Ndiswrapper.29

i tried sudo modprobe ndiswrapper but it didnt work

" | " ?

francois, hmm... not at the moment ..

i have multimedia keyboard

On US keyboards its shift-\

how did you type that?

CarlFK, my laptop was overheating to about 80C in spain a month ago and kept shutting down to protect itself...

alt + 6 I think

shift and the little key on top of your enter key

to obtain the pipe

"

why ?

ndiswrapper works fine, i just need to mount the module

Hello, I'm a complete beginner, and I was wondering how I can remove all ssh history of commands I ran, etc

nice one dude, cheers for the heads up

Like I said, on US keyboard layouts, I'm not sure about others.

Shoeb, if you mean from the history command do history -c
that'll clear them

my keboard is brazilian abnt2 keyboard layout

And no one will ever be able to know what commands I ran?
on ssh?

Pici, how can I get change the keyboard layout ?

cox377, yeah... sorry about the lack of solution though... maybe you can use another app? hopefully..

And no one will ever be able to know what commands I ran?

nono, thats not the solution. It should be there somewhere.

Pici, yep, and it' is
but i can't get pressing them

I don't exactly want to know what type of commands you want to hide but it really depends on how thoroughly the systems administrator is trying to log things

I am looking for some impress templates that I can download.. know where i can get them from?

I can't get it pressing them

if they're really trying nothing you do can remove all the commands

np dude - i'm just working on a solution i';ve just found - wish me luck :P

Is it possible to use the cdless boot method to boot from an iso on another harddrive, rather then download it from the net? (netboot)

cox377, good luck :-)

yup it worked

cox377, nice..

if ndiswrapper works fine, could you help me get it going? haha

lol
sure

oyuu

cox377, did the link i give you help?

hi there.. linux newb over here

looking at my keboard i see it
Pici, looking at my keboard i see it

not in this instance but if shall have look and see if they did find a solution else post my one

hello

cox377, yeah you do that..

but i can't get it

Hello, how can I remove complete ssh login logs?

Someone know if it's possible to use the cdless boot method to boot from an iso on another harddrive, rather then download it from the net? (netboot)

when I pressing it is show ""

if the iso is a linux one and uses isolinux for boot loader, then yes.. there's a way

its the ubuntu current desktop release, would you have a link with a tutorial perhaps?

I'm setting up the pdf printer driver...cups detected the pdf "printer", and I'm looking at the generic printer driver list, but I've forgotten which one is recommended....

hello

the private message thing doesnt work for me
i have to register brb

hi

alright well i followed that tutorial, and i believe that things went alright, however i still think i am using madwifi
if i run dmesg i get entries like ath0: no IPv6 routers present

hello jono

not sure about a tutorial out there. but you can look into the isolinux.cfg to check out what files are loaded with what parameters and then feed that into grub to get it started

brb

how can I tar from stdin?

Hey, where do I get the wirless software for my laptop broadcom integrated wireless unit

and ath0 link becomes ready

someone mind giving me the terminal command for that?

thank you, i'll go have a look see now but I have a feeling i'll be back with a question or two more for ya

Anyone know if Intel cards still crash when running 3D apps in Feisty? Thanks.
That is, they used to crash in Dapper...
man, is there some way to prevent irc from telling me every time someone enters or leaves? Driving me nutzo

what im client?

Gaim

hi to everybody

when I make a new partition for linux, do I want it to be logical or primary?

i don't know.. i don't have irc buddies

ok, thx anyways

it has to be primary if you want it to boot

how can I tar something from stdin?

ok.

Use the Gaim for IRC

i took about 15 gigs off the xp partition using gparted livecd but now i cant put them on the ubuntu partition or back on the xp one

now I get the "no root file system is defined" error
i dont understand that

you have to create a partition

I would suggest having your boot partition on a primary but you do not have to install the OS on a primary partition

I did...

how can I set up my keboard layout ?

did you choose to mount it as /

System-Preferences-Keyboard

how did you create the partiton, from the install CD?

nope
I should do thzt

thx, sipior

I have vista on one hd

yes you should

and a usb drive on another
I want it on the usb with no interference to my vista partition

i don't know if that would work out, i never tried it

anyone have the same problem in gparted?

but it has to interfere with at least the bootloader

You need to specify a / partition
it can be on and extended partiton

i've always had problems when i used gparted.. don't use that crappy shit.. use fdisk

I am trying to tunnel an X app via SSH. I am connecting to server via 'ssh -X user@blah.com' then am "export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0' but its not working. Also tried "export DISPLAY=localhost:11.0" and still not working... any thoughts or ideas?

i dont think you guys understand
i just want linux on my 2.5 external drive

isnt there an IRC command to mute people coming and going? Seems like there must be.

is that a live cd too?

why not get damn small linux
or a live cd
it's better than installing it on a usb

i have a live cd

I think what theyre trying to say is it would still interfear with windows because if you want to boot it you need to edit your boot settings

but i want to sae things on there

there is if you are admin

does anyone know how to use tar?

ill give that a shot azul, thanks

there's nothing wrong with gparted, but it can't merge partitions together, which sounds like what you're attempting

dirtdawg, i think you can use /ignore somehow... not sure...

I've installed BERYL in my laptop with ATI Radeon X200 and works perfectly, but resolution is limited to 1024x768, what could I do ?

man tar

Of this computer? I am.

Marris562, I know I'll need to change the boot settings to go to my usb drive

good luck.. you have to learn it thought, it's not as easy

i did

can anyone recognize that I am being recieved plz

hi Sidey

sipior, i have 15 gigs unallocated, and cant put them anywhere

Whats shaken Sidey

ok. thats god a thing

buenas

generally to untar something use "tar xvzf filename.tar.gz"

during install you will have to install a boot loader to boot the linux partition

struggling badly.. with setup and grub issues

hi

i can untar fine, i need to tar stdio
it won't accept it :/

of this room, not this computer

oh right
well no

you want to ingore?

it will effect you windows boot process a little as it will boot to the boot loader first

ignroe
ignore

got error now, check root = bootarg cat /proc/cmdlin

i understand that. you'll need to make a new partition, or extend the old one to cover the space. if you've tried this and it didn't work, was any error message given?

just want to ignore all the "so-and-so entered|left the room"

and dropped to shell

i never tarred, only untarred

I am so damn lost ATM

it shouldn't be so hard

Azu1:

i get it

I've installed BERYL in my laptop with ATI Radeon X200 and works perfectly, but resolution is limited to 1024x768, what could I do ?

/ignore AceMan
opps

sipior, i can make a new partition out of it, but i want to put that space on the ubuntu partition

didn't work

lol

is the ubuntu partition adjacent to the unused space?

no, theres my swap partition inbetween them sipior

hi to everybody , i have a problem , my /etc/inittab doesn´t exist , and i can´t configure the tty shells , anyone knows about this , Ubuntu suppos not to be ok , but it runs perfectly .

Ok, so I cant just make a partition on my usb drive without it affecting windows?

i will talk to you in a bit, the boss is commin

ubuntu uses upstart.

mmmmmm

hallo

where is this file?

does anyone know howto mirror a directory

in irssi its /ignore #channel JOINS PARTS QUITS

not copy, mirror (preserve rights etc...)

pity, that makes things awkward. you can resize partitions, but generally can't move the beginning position, only the end (at least for ext3 filesystems). you might consider deleting the swap partition temporarily, moving the ubuntu partition up, and then sticking swap back on the end

thaks for that, Ill give it a shot

have you tried linking it?

ok, how can I get restart my "keboard"? I did set up...

check out the cp manpage, theres something in there for preserving permissions and stuff.

an alternative is to back up the disk, and then rearrange everything at once. this is often the simplest course, frankly

/etc/event.d/

mmmmmmm
thx

whats the command to make a private chat

have you tried using gparted to merge that unused space into an existing partition?

sipior, 1 its right after the xp partition and i cant change that one still
2 sipior how would i go about rearranging the whole thing at once?

I'm so agrivated

phalcon, i dont think you can do that in gparted, according to what someone said on here, but i am trying gparted

yes and no, it's hard to explain but,

back up all data, rearrange partitions to taste, reformat, then restore from backup

idefixx , one question more , and how i must configure it to not start the other ttys?

do you know if it does work correctly

Crane, I have a separatwe harddrive

anyone have any tips on configuring a dhcp server for internect connection sharing?

i wish

unrelated to my windows hd

sipior, i see what youre saying now

thats one of my probs too

if not, and you're still able to boot to windows there are programs you can get that will do that

how i get pal talk working in ubuntu

(1) Can and (more importantly) should fsck be used on an NTFS-formatted volume?

phalcon, are they free? im poor

i saw this plug in gaim-pt

Crane, I would like to install ubuntu to a usb 2.5" harddrive

were i get it

without it doing anything to another harddrive

there is a way to install some distro to another partituion or hard drive and put a boot loader on a floppy. Althoug I am not sure how to do this in ubuntu

hey....my ISP is sify and i have problems installing their client in ubuntu.....can anyone provide me info regarding tht

any ideas on my cmdline error?

Hi, I need some help configuring my tv card. I used to config it using the /etc/modprobe.conf file, but this file don't exist anymore. If I create the file, the kernel will fetch the configuration parameters from it?

alright. Got irssi. Works better now.

sorry, what does dhcp have to do with forwarding a connexion?

no ntfs is more or less experimental

just remove or comment the files that say ttyX to ttyY

can your PC boot a USB device?

Crane, I dont mind going through the bios and switching to my USB to boot

u ther?

IndyGunFreak, yes.

ok

google is your friend. it's been a long time since i've used windows, but i hear there are some out there.

it should be pretty easy..

yeah i am, i just have to finish a few quick things

did you try google

if you are are working with ntfs use under any circumstances windows

perhaps i should ask what you're trying to accomplish first

Grub wont overwrite any windows boot loaders will it?

i will let you know when i am back

thanks leninIdebian

no prob, sry for being a bitch

nah no worries

it might... if it does, run FixMBR/FixBoot and it will restore the Windows bootloader

if you write grub to the MBR or sector 0 it will overwrite windows bootloader

thx

anyone here who can help me to get my wireless to work? iti s on a laptop.

IndyGunFreak, I'm running vista

thanks falcon and sipior

do you know what chipset the wireless card uses?

it will overwrite the windows mbr but it will enable you to boot windows from there on.

!wireless

Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs

but the USB harddrive is total separate from my windows harddrive

I have a Dapper install with a /storage partition I no longer use. I want to delete it and install different distros onto it. Do I need to delete it from my Dapper install's fstab before I delete the actual partition? Thanks.
