lol

The reason I don't like asking questions in the room is

CptAJ[ve] can you describe your problem some more please?

hy evryone , anyone can say me how i set in ubuntu my screen resolution to another format,

Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam - and most importantly, use common sense :-)

I am using ubuntu server edition and having issues with tos based network routing.. whats the good channel to discuss ?

Alright, still getting horrible download speeds from everything. I tried blacklisting ipv6, rebooted and it didn't help one bit. Neither does changing the repository mirrors and the problem also happens when I just download something from a browser (say, the ubuntu image). Again, I remind you that this doesn't happen in windows, previous ubuntu versions and its not a lagspike. Let me hear some ideas.

! resolution

The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto

you need to login with rdesktop first, then run vmware

CptAJ[ve] so its feisty only? what about the livecd environment?

I don't like to ask questions in the room because I have to ask long questions and when they get ignored it is very discouraging.

ni still here\

sorry, i'm not gonna be of much help

any one?
here

he just needs to know how to get to the mouse configuration

You mean like this?
vmrun start "/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/Windows Vista (experimental)/Windows Vista (experimental).vmx"

well I didn't try in the live CD environment. What would you say if it did and didnt happen there?

isn't that just click system, go to preferences, then mouse settings?

And then like this? rdesktop -A -s "cseamlessrdp\seamlessrdpshell.exe notepad.exe" 192.16.155.128 -u danny -p XXXXXX

i don't know, i don't have my ubuntu up and running right now

CptAJ[ve] if you do not experience any slow downloads (please explain how you have tested , browsing , wget, speedtest online etc) whilst running off the livecd then it may be something installed causing it, but its at least a start to attempt to troubleshoot

im no one willing to help

lol...me neither

CptAJ[ve] also, please explain how you are connected to the internet, we need more info really

very simple question... where are programs usually installed? i need to get to a folder but cant find it ... ex. beryl?

Oh, surviver, I had this problem when I first installed too.

jrib, did but i get only 3 choices

Open your terminal.

hey jrib I had a question but the other channel beat you to it

jr you goot with the mouse

I access VMWare by typing "vmware" in the terminal

ramzi, u fixt it?

I have a DSL 1024/512 kbps connection. I tested downloading updates with apt-get and the gnome updater. I also tried downloading the ubuntu iso and still got slow speeds. MInd you I got over 100kb/s when I downloaded it just this morning using windows.

surviver (see the private host message from ubotu)

k, cool

uh .. guys anyone simple question how do i know where a program was installed .. ?

and rdesktop allows you to connect and control the desktop on the computer with vmware, right?

I also tried blacklisting ipv6 to no avail

jrib goot with the mouse
good i mean

surviver please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto

dpkg --contents /var/cache/apt/archives/file.deb

uhhh , yeah?

ask the channel your question

Hey guys. I downloaded and installed the UT2K4 demo. But when I try to launch it, it opens and closes immediately. Any ideas?

I guess

thanks!

jrbi i did gean pls repost

so then you need to connect with rdesktop first, then run vmware. it's that simple.

CptAJ[ve] well a torren't isn't really a good benchmark, as it depends on the seeds/peers as to how fast or slow it will be, so if you can then first boot from the livecd, test a known working fast link (isp cache maybe) and then try again from the ubuntu install

"rndis0: register 'rndis_host'. No device can be found in /dev/

jrib his or here gean ubuntu when down

huh?

when helping our

I didn't use the torrent download

gean

That's not helping me. What I'm asking is HOW TO do that

....... i just TOLD you how

gean jrib lost can you help pls

You're telling me what I have to do. I know that's what I have to do. I need to know how to do that

Hi, I have just bought a extern HDD. It mounts automatically when I boot, but when I try to unmount it goes "cant unmount volume" and open the disk instead. how could I fix this?

oh, thought you knew how to use rdesktop

maybe, but you need to ask your question or state the problem first

I'm sorry, I didn't see the terminal commands you gave me

ok, I'm gonna test it from the live CD be back in a bit

can anyone hear me?

it's possible you've got some file open on it

no, but we can read what you type

but i know how to use everything that you're talking about

Then you kno whow to tell me to do it then?

can somebody paste their working xorg.conf for an ati based (using fglrx) on pastebin?

first of all, you need to establish a remote control connection from ubuntu to the vista, then you need to run vmware from within that connection

jrib what i do

I believe you can use gsynaptics

ok, great. Now how do I do that?

how i get that jrib

i can't tell you the exact steps, that's why i gave you those urls to read - there's no use in me repeating what others have painstakingly done before

So you don't know how to tell me how then. I see. Thanks anyways for all the help guys.

have you gotten w32codecs from Medibuntu?

I got a time out message

hmmm brb

There's a bunch of HowTos on the forums on setting it up

in a command line try sudo dhclient3 eth0 or whatever your interface is

lol, no question.. for now, tho, I'd really like this one

Flannel, yeah wowwiki has the best one.

hello people

so for me its 'sudo dhclient3 eth1'

does any ati card works on any linux !

I have used the built in Torrent client that comes with Ubuntu without any issues. I think it works pretty well.

Hi.

But does anyone here play wow ?

Yes according to the site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT61 that is what I was suppose to make it.

fuzzy_logic, i mean can't i connect whilst the session is running?

can you pastebin the output from iwconfig?

!wine | crolle17

wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.

There was a guy here last week and he was kind of abrubt but he tried helping and kept telling me to follow those directions. He seemed to be answering a lot of questions so I trusted his advice.

what do you mean?

Sure hold on.

will figer it out

as far as i know that is not possible but i will do some research for you.. just a sec please

thankyou so much

what did you install (wine-package?) and how did you install it(synaptic, aptitude etc.) ?

crolle17, check the path of wine with "which wine" it should be /usr/local/bin/wine if not you need a synbolik link to there

whatsup?

omg AMD and ATI are damned !

I am guessing he didnt install the whole thing

no one can help me :"(

poningru, sudo apt-get install wine

what programs are you running? (and trying to keep persistence on?)

did you startup wine atleast once?

I just purchased a USB external hard drisk, maxtor onetouch III mini. When I try to mkdir or move anything onto it I'm told it is read only.

Flannel, just my usual irc / torrents / im clients

poningru, if he did apt-get install he did its a problem I have come across before and had to sym link myself

http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26928/

noiesmo, this path isn't available (/usr/local/bin/wine)

oh! please do help him
did not know that

I googled this, apparently it is NTSF by default. I want to format it and use it with ubunutu. I'm told the command I need is mkfs.ext3 -j /dev/sda1, but I'm not sure that the usb drive is on /dev/sda1 and don't wnat to delete my hard drive. How do I verify which /dev my USB hard drive is on?

jrib thanks for help do i need any thing eles for this
for my dell 1505 for ubuntue
ubuntu i mean

you added shmconfig to xorg.conf?

yes jrib

crolle17, "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/wine /usr/local/bin/wine"

did what site link you gave me told me

what version of ubuntu are you running? Feisty?

I think you should be good to go with gsynaptic then

you might look into just using screen and SSH. No GUI, butyou'll be able to keep your stuff. And there are CLI versions of all those.

johnnyg, plug it in, check dmesg for a name, or if it is automounting as it generally does in ubuntu using hal, just wait for it to do that and then do cat /etc/mtab to see the name

dlsym for __driCreateNewScreen_20050727 failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __

i'm sorry.. i think i'm not able to help you with this one.. actually i think it is not possible to accomplish what you want..

any one know an issue for that ?

yes

jrib any thing eles i need for ubuntu for dell e1505

noiesmo, /usr/local/bin/wine: Not a directory

anyone know how to fix this?

Feisty 7.04

and you can do it with your mouse

gui is clumsy

do you see the network-manager thing on the top right hand corner

I am installing gparted with apt-get now.

Yes

left click on it you should see a bunch of networks

anyone know if there's an ubuntu release schedule/important dates google calendar (or ical calendar) that I could add to evolution?

err any wifi connections in the area

check out fridge.ubuntu.com

Gparted is successfully installed. Do I need to boot?

Ademan, that would be handy

hola

noiesmo, i made "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/wine /usr/local/bin/wine" and then tried to cd into /usr/local/bin/wine

johnnyg, launch it from the menus or with gksu gparted

thanks jrib

just go to system-admin-gparted

crocodile, what are you doing?

I see them and try to connect and it asks me for the code so I put it in and then show it to make sure it is in correctly but the wheel goes round and round but never gets a dhcp address.

I don't want to make this a dns server, how would I uninstall avahi

All release schedules are available as iCal, linked from the Release Schedule wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule

crolle17, try runnjing "wine setup.exe as you wanted

thanks Flannel

noiesmo, o.k.

hmm what kind of encryption does that wifi have?

yay it's broken right now

wep or wpa?

the specified Windows directory L"c\windows" is not accessible
could not load L"c\windows\\system32\\setup.exe":

128 wep

noiesmo, do i have to create theses dirs?

This is sweet! I've loaded gparted, I've located the usbdisk which was on /dev/sbc (glad I didn't format). I think i want to turn it into FAT32 now? How do i do it?

crolle17, try this, sudo rm -rf ~/.wine

these

128 wep

Eh. So it is. Well, that's where it would be

crolle17, no

ok go to manual configuration and configure it from there

crolle17, hmmm try wine /full/path/to/setup.exe

noiesmo, why do i shall remove this hidden dir?

I tried but it still will not get a dhcp address.

right click on the thing and you gotta delete the ntfs partition
then you gotta do new partition
and pick fat32

Also, there is a lock icon under the partition column. Delete is grayed out. I can unmount...

anyone know how to get software version info from the command line? Like on KDE?

yeah you have unmount first

says it is busy

What software versions you looking for?

haha, yeah it's fine, i'm sure it'll be up in time to get my butt moving

johnnyg, umount it in the terminal

do you have any windows or anything open?

how about I close the window I have open

noiesmo, still the same error-messsage.

I just want to find out what software version I have installed of KDE.

connect to it in manual configuration

ok, I unmounted. Now I can either "delete" or "format to". Do I want to "format to" FAT32?

the specified Windows directory L"c\windows" is not accessible

I will try and will get back in a minute.

and then afterward in a terminal do 'sudo dhclient3 ra1'
yes do format to

noiesmo, i read somewhere that there is a config-file to edit?

crolle17, did you run wine or winecfg as root by chnace as you should not do this

Hi.

It is now showing as FAT32. I still don't have permission to write to it however.

but you should not edit it by hand

(#G=10E;10M1) Has anyone used WINE on Ubuntu?

Hey guys - i got a weird problem... when i open gaim - my router crashes, or loses connection to the net

use system-admin-software sources

crolle17, check the permissions and ownship on your users .wine folder in home directory ~/.wine

just package versions? or Ubuntu versoin? or what? Ah. Well, you'd need to check the version of a package that shares version number with KDE. so, something like: kdelibs4c2a So, `dpkg -l | grep kdelibs4c2a`

yeah you gotta mount it

poningru, im just adding a repostiory line, ive done it before, i just forgot where it was

Tombar_uy, is it not in the repos?

also have you looked into specifying a particular ipadress for the interface?

I have been at this one issue for a while. I had the wireless issue occur on a laptop as well which initially worked but I had to remove Ndiswrapper and put it in again and eventually it works great. All my uh uhm Microsoft versions work without any problems.

ive look arroung and found that its not on 7.04 repos, php5 yes
but i work on php4

wincfg: command not found

bruenig, Tombar_uy no sorry php4 was taken out from the repos

When I install stuff in windows, I put it in CProgram Files\whatever in linux, stuff seems to be installed to /home/.app What is the leading dot? Where should I be installing stuff?

learn 5

you probably should not use php4 it has too many security issues

no. config files are ~/.app, it's installed in /usr/bin.

what bruenig said, its not that different

poningruIt picks up the network. I even put another wireless AP in and it picks it upo as well but does not get an address.

i know poningru, but i think maybe downloading sources and compileing them may work, just looking for a tutorial

!gnash

An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/

search through the ubuntu forums or wiki for it

"If I install ubuntu on some hardware, then say I take the harddrive and place it with new hardware, will I have to configure everything over or what? Will ubuntu just detect the new hardware?

you dont have to worry about that stuff just install stuff from synaptic or aptitude

Right now I have an ethernet card in but I wanted to just use the wireless.

Hi having a problem with my connection, my source list is messed up, I can't seem to connect to archive.ubuntu.com which is one of the main sites for updates and upgrades. Can someone help me on resolving the issue?

it will get installed automatically

http://www.secguru.com/files/linux_file_structure.jpg There's a good rundown on how linux organizes stuff. Also, http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html Although, Ubuntu does do things a smidge different. But really, package management remvoes the need to know all this stuff.

So if I want to install Ubuntu to another machine and I back up my home directory, then I reinstall firefox and then restore my home and my bookmarks are restored?

dude did you try specifiying the ip address?

can you conenct to it via other means? wget? http?

instead of doing dhcp use static ip

what kind of error do you get?

anyone have experience getting a rt2500 wifi chipset working? iwpriv doesn't appear to be working

Bob082, you will probably have to reconfigure video

Just video?

Bob082, what video card you got

yeah. If you transplant your homedir, everything (except programs) is there. Once you install said programs again, you can pretend nothing happened.

Yes. Never logs in. I will try again. Hold on.

okay thanks

that is pretty elegant. Thank you for the links and answers, I'm looking through them now.

Flannel, was that it?

Hello, can someone tell me what values i need for my horizsync and vertrefresh in xorg.conf? I have a 19" monitor that's supposed to run at 1280x1024 @60hz but it will only go up to 50hz in ubuntu... i chcked my monitor's manual and changed those two values but it still doesn't work

if you run servers and stuff, they put some stuff in other locations. But you'll know about migrating them once you set them up (or you'll know you need to look into how to at least).

archive.ubuntu.com is a no go and i need it to update my packages, im certain it is something with the source list - i dont get an error just hangs when connecting to that destination

Flannel, it was forget my question

yeah. Second time he's done that. And was spamming earlier too.

david-richardson: try this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=451519

easier way to do it is sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xorg-server-core

pastebin your sources.list

good evening ... my 1st visit ere and would like some advice please ... currently using fujitsu FDX310 usb adsl modem for my internet connection. i av just upgraded from winxp to vista and having done some research this afternoon find that usb adsl modems dont play nicely with vista :o(. i am also looking to dual boot vista with feisty (new to linux) and was wondering what to replace my usb adsl fujitsu with. is is an adsl modem router

thank you!!!

how can you be sure of that? were you messing with it??

and when it asks, you can change it

It will not take the static host address.

dick-richardson: no probs.. tell me if it works

what do you mean?

what's the -plow for?

priority low
man dpkg-reconfigure

You can get to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ in a web browser with no problems?

hmm that sounds like it wont take an dedicated ip hosting address

a stand alone adsl box is the most compatible

nope it happened before & someone helped me byt telling me to get a new source list sadly I dont know the site he gave me or the instruction i followed

poningruI put in the static address but it wheels arround and then reconects to the wired network.

noiesmo, is there something to notice after installation the wine-packages? something to configure?

how do i get my source list from command?

lets try doing this exclucively from terminal

just a sec i will give you my sources list..

open /etc/apt/sources.list in a text editor.

where is michael?

OK how?

hylje .. what might a stand alone adsl box be? sorry if silly q

crolle17, open terminal type "winecfg"

in a terminal do 'gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces'

nope cna't even access it in browser but can do so for other websites

err no
dont do that

!mirrors | Pirate_Hunter

Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive

you mean #ubuntu-effects?

danke Flannel

What about other mirrors. Try some of htem in your web browser. Sounds more like network issue than a sources.list issue

wincfg: command not found

poningruOK and now what would you like me to put in? It already has my static address and info.

i guess if you can't access it with your browser i don't think something is wrong with your sources list..

hylje .. i have a dell dimension e520 with ethernet. is this what i need and will any adsl modem router 1 port be acceptable for immediate internet connection on booting live cd?

crolle17, what about wineconfig

i can access all websites but ubuntu archive gives me trouble, this aint the first time it has happened but like I said the other guy gave me instructions on how to get a new source list

noiesmo, the same

given functional, it will work with about anything you throw at it. inc. linux livecds

right, before we can choose a new mirror, we have to figure out which ones you CAN get to. Go through the mirror list, find one (preferrably close to you) that works in a web browser. Then we can migrate your mirror.

crolle17, hmm I have it, i'm running fiesty just cant think where i got winecfg from

Type the first few letters, then hit tab.

Did you give up on me?

guys, gnash works, but isn't in the browser yet, just as the stand0alone player. it has some difficulties with flash games

i would first try to figure out why he can't reach the official repositories rather than do some workarounds..

awesome. I don't suppose you can tell me how to use linux to get out of doing laundry?

hylje ..... so something like http://www.solwise.co.uk/adsl-sar600e.htm is all i need perhaps?

sure, build a robot that runs linux and teach it how to do your laundry

kk, tried the websites posted, the first dont work for me but the second gives me different mirrors

crolle17, http://sourceforge.net/projects/winecfg/

Guys i got 64bit Ubuntu Feisty.It starts with generic kernel.But I have AMD Turion 64 X2.Souldn't it start with K8 kernel(even i downloaded it with package maneger)?The problem that i have is i cannot use Cool'n Quiet.I need it because it will increase battery life time.

hold on

unfortunately i cant say anything about that. it likely works, though.

ok sorry.

how do you install themes in kde..?

sorry mom is calling

hylje ... ok good buddy thanx 4 help. anyone else any ideas please?

you can't choose a k8 kernel in your grub when the computer is booting??

which mirror should I choose for the UK I seem to get into all of them

no i only got 2 kernel(one from default installation of ubuntu feisty another is uptaded) I think 2.6.14 or sth like this other is 2.6.15
both are named generic at the end of it

Shouldn't matter, pick the one you like the most.

please see above

I'm having a sysnc error on the filesystem and I'd like to repair the FAT

yes

it isnt in the proper KDE theme file format so the theme centre doesn't recognize it

synaptic says both k8 and newest generic kernels are installed

than what? which option do I choose after that?

to make sure of i can send you upload a picture

ok. erm thanks. but i kind of tried googling. there is no standard way is there?

no Worries. I am looking at a site of cards that work right out of the box courtosy of sldkfj

option? Nothing. You just need the URL of a repository mirror. Then we'll change your sources.list to use that mirror.

fuzzy_logic and thx for help

no probs.. i'm searching for a solution right njow
now

crolle17, wow not sure

What is the best and easiest card to install?

crolle17, maybe try asking in winehq

actually, it'll be easiest to just do it this way: this'll gve you a full sources.list you cna juts copy over your current one.
!easysource | Pirate_Hunter

source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic

Out of the box.

http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_14098,00.html Take a look to that pls.It gives two headers files to enable that feature.But it is so old i think they already imported it in kernel,don't they?
fuzzy_logic

In local retail stores.

i don't think so.. i would just download those headers..

Thanx thats the site I used last time, but how do I gain admin right to edit and save the source list

is there a navigation program similar to Delorem Street Atlas that is open source and works on linux?

alt-f2 and in there put `gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list`

i can't find any solution on this issue.. there are some people having the same problem as you, but there is no solution that i could find

what is the directory to copy theme files to?

hello

yeah, out of box

will do so if I have a problem will ask again, hopefully you'll stick around

out of box means no special software to install

hello dexter44

neb, and since it's an Ubuntu site, I reckon you can take their word on that same concept

Someone in here before said they tried their card and it worked out of the box but did not say what model.

newb, the best and easiest card to install is one with an nvidia chipest
chipset*

quit

I saw someone come it with a broadcom and they had to install a file something called bdcm-*wirecutter

Do usb wirelss cards work?

but that file was in the repository so it was easy

sldkfj, bcm43xx-fwcutter

I need to get Ubuntu to work under VPC with my 1440x900 monitor. Currently the live CD in the VM doesn't play nicely.

newb, sure they work

Easier than the PCI?

in KDE, how do I change the time format to 12 hr? The date and time format dialog doesn't allow me to change it

just go throw that list and find one that seems to be to your liking and doa search and it might be somewhere to buy

HI all - my Fiesty won't recognize the 1680x1050 resolutions of my monitor (using i810) driver, though it does show 1600x1200, 1280x1024... etc... I assume it's not detecting the right refresh rates (as I put res in screen section and they are ignored). What's the best method for fixing - modlines or specifying 1024x768_75.00 is Display-Modes subsection?

someone tell me how to UN-set a keybinding? (ie; my machine is mapping F10 to right-click and I want to de-activate it)

... I'd settle for one resolution mode - maybe use HorizSync/VertRefresh in Mointor Section?

!info 915resolution | ShackJack

newb, I would think the better cards should be around 100mps for usb

how do I update the source list

OK thanks I have to go and take the dog out before he takes a sh** on the floor.

good luck

Bye.

what program can I use to open .rar archives?

Ah, O.K. sorry - didn't know that also applied to the i810 driver...

you might need to install the rar support for archive-manager.

thanks :-)

I am trying to rsync my folders/files to a usb hard drive. I am getting errors I suspect are related to characters such as spaces or ' http://pastebin.com/934903 Is there a flag that will tell rsync to escape or handle these characters?

search for rar packages, and then you can open as normal in file-roller

once you've saved it, hit 'reload' in synaptic, or `sudo apt-get update` if you're using the CLI

ShackJack, all intel cards use the i810 driver

install the i386 version for intel macs. I'm running it now.

pretty certain it will run

the same version as for PC?

That's like taking the french government and putting it in America.

granted it is a *little* tricky to get setup just right, but it is perfectly supported.

Totally backwards.

Intel Macs are x86

same version as PC, yes.

i'm trying to install bunut PPC on my G4 powermac....i had it running a few days agao till i tried to upgrade to feisty which doesnt exist...so i had to instlall an older version again

well grub is a little tricky because apple uses EFI instead of MBR

if it is a recent intel mac it can run the amd64 version probably as well

I suggest checking out http://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook

please help me?

Whats a decent CLI tool to analyze network traffic? preferably something more detailed than tcpdump

you can install to an external drive, you just need to most likely use rEFIt with grub installed on the external

i need X for that

OK... probably too complicated then because I won't be there and he has never used Linux

wireshark should have a CLI only as well.. I just used it on RHEL5 two days ago.

hm, ok i will have to check again then

What other hardware do you have? If the CD is good, it might be a drive error. There are non-CD methods to install, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for a bunch of creative methods.

I'm afraid that he will have too much difficulty.. it might be a bad first experience. His one question was "is linux hosting still complicated?" -- I said not really... so I don't want to give him some tutorial where he has to use the terminal for the first time and get a headache...

i intiially did...like i said i was running ubuntu on this earlier...but not anymore...i tried several alternate cds and it just would stop at that same place with a debootstrap error

i don't have any experience with 64-bit processors.. i'm sure 32bit will not do any harm.. only the performance is better if you would use 64bit

for a nvidia geforce fx 5500

I have a .bin and .cue image file for a movie that I would like to mount a virtual DVD ROM for in Ubuntu

you've noticed that if you click "Open" on the Wastebasket, and then click on "Empty the Wastebasket" in there, it works?

magnethead, Ok, then when it asks be sure to choose "nvidia" ( not "nv" )

what was the page for some alternate install methods....do any of them work for PPC?

yeah i use gmail too. and i know that it fetches pop from other accounts... but i use it for some mailboxes...

levander no idae

"mount -t iso9660 -o loop /mnt" is how you do it for CD's. Figure out what filesystem for DVD's, and replace iso9660 with it.

note that i have to reboot to get to terminal so it would help alot if i know everthign before rebooting

magnethead, And I think that the nvidia drivers come with a graphical tool to set up external monitors ( and TV out ) one you are back in X try nvidia-settings ( that may not be the right command though )
