did you manually partition the hdd?
I want a system taht brings me as much power/watt and power/euro as possible without it costing me an arm and a leg
and of course it has to be supported well by linux
what i did was use mandriva to format then stuck in ubuntu disk

define arm and a leg? even consumer cards go up to 500$ easily and then you have SLI/crossfire
use the ubuntu livecd to partition/format/install
stick to intel and nvidia then

it wont install because no root file system is defined

I'm having trouble setting up squid. I've installed squid via apt-get and have it set as a service, but the process immediately disappears after starting it. (ex: sudo /etc/init.d/squid start ; sudo squid -kcheck = squid: ERROR: No running copy)
i know this is a general stupid questin...but how do u register nicsk on nickserv?
how are you trying to install gstreamer? and what error exactly?
google for nickserv
What should i put on the root (hdX,X) line of my menu.lst to boot off a usb drive?\
gordonjcp, don't remember..but it's possible , i got some answers from other channel that i was going to try though
depends as what the BIOS sees it
usually right after the internal harddisks afaik
here's a couple of things I'd like you to try, assuming you've got a) dual-boot and b) enough time
I tried to play .dat video file then it asked for gstremear and when I tried to install then says i386 error (my ubuntu is not connected with internet)
install how?
dee - haven't forgotten about you... think i've found the driver, checking to be sure now
You can't install a package from the internet if you're not connected to the internet
gordonjcp, a) true , b) i'm on vacations and really would like to have this working
boot into Windows, check the sound works, then boot the livecd without powering off and check the sound works, then switch off completely (unplug the mains) for a minute and try the live CD
the BIOS i'm using can't normally boot USB devices, thats why i'm using a grub CD, i think it sees it has hd2,0 but it says invalid partition
and is "i36 error" all it said? cause I don't think so. we need exact error messages
but thats the only valid disk
do i need to add a stage1.5 for ext3?
clear
gordonjcp, doing it as i log of brb
okay guys
while you've got it working in the livecd, try and pastebin the output of lsmod
Do I need internet to install gstreamer ?
ola
oh, and take it to #ubuntu-offtopic ;-)
if your bios can't see so, can grub cannot either. never will. you need to load a kernel from elsewher, which can then see it
i just installed dapper from a cd...i cant burn anymore cds so i'm trying to upgrade to edgy and then eventually to feisty
no
gordonjcp, roger that
wols, Is there a guide somewhere that can tell me how to do this?
I tried with Add/Remove also
don't know of any ubuntu one. basically you need a kernel (possibly custom) on a floppy or CD
when i try to update to edgy using the updatemanager, i get some gpg errors....when i even try to run apt-get update i get some gpg errors too... i have been able to download applciations...but i cant upgrade beacuse of this gpg error...any help?
I asked you a question. several in fact
and once the kernel on the CD is initalized it can then load the kernel on the USb device?
no. there is no kernel on the USB. the kernel is on CD or whereever. on CD there is only / and such
thing is, BIOS can't access USB drive, but a linux kernel can since it has the needed drivers
what if grub can see the disks but for somereason cant read the filesystem?
Hello, I had a couple of Ubuntu questions, not just due to accessibility quesitons, for the blind linux hosting user, but I wanted to ask a couple of questions here just to see if you folks could help.
then it'S the wrong filesystem
I mounted E drive , my E drive hold video file, when I clicked on that file in file browser then a video player appear
First,
in that player a pop up appear and asked to install Gstreamer
every time says i386 error, my ubuntu is 7.04
I know that Orca in Gnome 2.18 is the default screen-reading utility when used on the Ubuntu desktop. However, I also know that in Feisty itself, Ubuntu includes the Speakup screen reading kernel patched as modules to allow access to the console. Now, I have a couple of very spisific
questions.
what more info do you need?
My computer suspend works if I disable Desktop Effects, but every two times I suspend, then fan doesn't slow down
I'm having trouble with running squid. I've installed squid via apt-get and have it set as a service, but the process immediately disappears after starting it. (ex: sudo /etc/init.d/squid start ; sudo squid -kcheck = squid: ERROR: No running copy)
Should I get uswsusp?
I need the info I asked for. which you haven't provided at all. read my questins more carefully
my pc is celeron 2.4 ghz , 512 ram

Just in case you seriously do not feel like using Gnome at that moment, etc.
it might
of course it's possible
LCD?
Yeah
when i try to update to edgy using the updatemanager, i get some gpg errors....when i even try to run apt-get update i get some gpg errors too... i have been able to download applciations...but i cant upgrade beacuse of this gpg error...any help?
It's a laptop screen
LCDs always use 50 or 60Hz
Okay. The next question.
you here?
Can ubuntu server 7.04 run on a PII with 64mb of ram?
yeah
without a GUI
what country did you purchase your acer aspire 3000 in?
should do
more memory would be good though
pity it uses old RDRAM
how can i install this. see I am new to linux so i need some help.
hard to get
what country did you purchase your acer aspire 3000 in?
64MB is the minimum requirement yes
indonesia
ok
or taiwan
you answer my questions first. and installing is done as usual
hello
Over the sixth month period that Ubuntu makes releases, how well do you folks really test the platforms it supports? For example, I have seen some distros such as Gentoo Linux, that allow you to automate the installation process, only to totally mis-configure your kernel in such a way that
Software Speech through accessibility crashes with SMP, or perahps an X_64 kernel gets configured as an X86, DMA instructions get disabled, etc.
I would really like to know how stable is Ubuntu Feisty under the AMD 64-bit environment itself? And what about Application usability/accessibility?
do you need a computer for a blind person and don't like frequent upgrades?
the problem with linux on 64bit is proprietary stuff. flash, acrobat, proprietary drivers, etc. linux itself runs very very well under 64bit
hello, does anyone has experience with run-init script from klibc?
Another question.
what answer you want? my native is not english so i could not understand what answer should I give.
I'd use a distro with longe support cycles. ubuntu LTS, debian, RH, etc
neither is mine
hi, how can i open office 2007 document (xlsx, docx) with openoffice_
you asked install how? that right?
I want the EXACT, FULL error message and I want to know EXACTLY how you installed it
or rather, tried
I currently am running Microsoft Windows XP media center edition on my AMD64 Athlon X2 dual-core processor. And I have been wanting to switch strate into Ubuntu. But I am not sure how simple or Windows-Like Ubuntu really is, in particular for my father.
when's the next LTS? 8.10 or something?
give him kde instead. and it depends a bit what your father uses
ok, let me give one minute, I will use pastebin to describe this.
He is not a techy person, and will not stand for me beginning to explain how to use a Linux text terminal, he lacks the skills that I do in using the CLI interface of Linux, and would need a GUI that really resembled Windows.
when i try to update to edgy using the updatemanager, i get some gpg errors....when i even try to run apt-get update i get some gpg errors too... i have been able to download applciations...but i cant upgrade beacuse of this gpg error...any help?
Catball its relatively easy to skin metacity to look like windows
Or at least that made you feel as if you were on Windows.
as long as you do the admin stuff, any linus is usable for him imho
Heh
give me aminute and i'll find you a link
trying to install feisty from nfs mount, after the boot switches to /root/ (wit unionfs overrides) init is still looking at / instead of /root/, anyone can help?
you can also give him windows via vmware or WINE
Ah
hi, how can i open office 2007 document (xlsx, docx) with openoffice_
How about the Gnome desktop?
I'd reccommed WINE of VMware
ok... think I have the necessary driver files... let me upload them to my webspace so you can download them - you'll need them to setup ndiswrapper
less compatible but much much faster
ok
Are you joking?
hi !, I have a problem with deskbar-applet. I go to configuration, search in web plugin, ONLY the primary but when I search, it is in all searchers, and in firefox I only have goole.. any idea ??
no..
Wine is faster than VM ware just not as compatible.
Okay, also here is something else.
because its not an emulator
it will work too. it has mail, web and a text processing app. what more does he need?
"WINE of Vmware" -- Did you mean "WINE over VMware"?
over yeah
sorry :P
Ah, ok
any nfs booting experts? please help, struggling with my problem for 3 days already
_
hi guys - I'm having problems - my windows borders disappeared
I was going, "What the hell? Would WINE'ing VMware even WORK?"
what was that XP-like metacity theme?
using beryl?
restart metacity
clearlooks or something?
Hi, could someone familiar with kernel upgrades, dpkg incantations and the like please have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=484030 ? Thanks in advance!
I have been wishing to combine server/desktop useage with Ubuntu. Would it be possible for me to install Ubuntu to the drive, install open-ssh-server, and a few other components, run them through the Linux console, and then just use the machine (with the dual-core support and 64-bit
processing) as a desktop?
yeah, used it for some times without problems. now I wanted to install the new compiz, but all the window borders are gone
easily doable
!neryl | lorenz
Sorry, I don't know anything about neryl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
Catball, yes use the desktop CD not server
!beryl | lorenz
beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
then simply install the required packages through Synaptic
do not use apt-get. use aptitude
Ah
Catball, i believe you wanted Ubuntu to look similar to XP for your father?
Apt-get is dependency driven or has dependency related issues.
unable to create `./boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic': No space left on device
Dependency driven
hi, how can i open office 2007 document (xlsx, docx) with openoffice?
now just guess what this means?
it'll automatically install any required dependencies
when I clicked .dat file then totem opened a popup appeared. that popup said to install GStreamer.
dee - I found a howto for your broadcom 4318 wifi... go here -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102&highlight=ndiswrapper+howto
And I don't like apt-get, too many errors occure. I've used Debian itself for a few months, and don't think that Apt-get should be the tool, whoever suggested using aptitude is correct.
olaaa
what happens if you install gstreamer via synaptic?
ok
I believe the newest version of apt-get has greatly improved dependancy handling
olaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
nick
which debian did you use and when?
hotplug mean?
apt-get install apt-get -- ?
This means that you did not read the hyperlinked posting in the Ubuntu forums ... :-)
no. debian suggest strongly aptitude. so unless ubuntu has a different apt-get, don't use it
There *is* more than enough space on the partitions.
wols_ according to this page apt-get was fixed in 6.10
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/aptitude
hi
I also wonder if Ubuntu can support multi-channel supported sound cards the way Windows does? I am very curious, or would the built-in Alsa drivers in the kernel keep me from using it properly.
I will give aptitude a try, though. Thanks for the suggestion.
Catball, what soudncard is it? If its a creative X-FI then its no go
I just wish to know. I do not wish to make a complete switch to Ubuntu right off the bat.
Especially if this may pose any spisific problems.
Catball, what soundcard is it?
hi. I am trying to install ubuntu 7.04. When it is booting into the install (livecd) it just sits there - Outputiing "Permission denied". It then says something about alsactl error
wols_, aptitude is not really recommended in ubuntu unless one is a bit experienced
RealTechAC97Audio sound-card.
won't help. there is not enough space for some reason. imho, it's your /boot
Can anyone help?
If that helps
why not?
that should be fine, i think thats a motherboard onboard
they generally work near perfectly
Ah
Nice
hiya. I have a usb automount, gnome, hal dpkg question. I hope someone can help.
it does. google for "dmix"
jamesinator, apt-get install apt
wols_, because aptitude can uninstall a complete os just to resolve one dependency
My usb hard drives mount crazily with different names all of the time. It's hard to create playlists. And the filesystems have labels, so they ought to work.
Catball, have you tried the live CD yet?
when i tried to search gstrreamer in synaptic then i did not get any result.
hi, how can i open office 2007 document (xlsx, docx) with openoffice_
only if you mix it with apt in the wrong way. synaptic has the same kind of dependency handling
It was a joke, but thanks...
I've upgraded from the previous ubuntu version. I think hald is kind of screwed. My plan is to uninstall hald completely then reinstall it
because is gstreamer xd
:P
there is a dropdown, which value should i select to search
I also wanted to ask this. How well does Ubuntu test packages before a release? Spisifically, I am curious about tools such as Speech-Dispatcher, and SpeechD-up, and Gnome-Speech, and such.
will that destroy my system?
and as I said: debian deprecates apt-get which means either ubuntu does their own or follow suit sooner or later
I think there is a conversor, search in google docx openoffice
Packages in the official repositories usually are of the highest standard, I can't speak for those in 3rd party repos.
wols_, which is usually the case if apt-get get into problems
There are 109MB free on /boot.
hello...
This should be enough.
zegnus : means I should search gstreamer xd ?
wols_, this is not debian
LOL just use Aptitude.
you are based on debian and your whole package management comes from there
wow did debian really deprecate apt-get?
wols_, ubuntu genarally advises to use apt
Plus, aptitude gives me this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27254/
How do I get the sources for the new Amarok for Kubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn? On amarok.kde.org there is only sources for Edgy Eft.
so I guess I won't toast the system,
you have all official repositories on ??
ekhem... i have a question, do you know, how to get on a polish ubuntu irc canal?
hi
thanx i will check it
Is there anyone that knows how / with what program I can resize multiple images at once? Thanx
is it possible to upgrade to gusty from the update-manager?
just for kicks. create a, say, 100MB file and copy it to /boot
a script that calls imagemagick
annoth, /join #ubuntu-pl
I installed ubuntu default and did not do any config changes
Thanks, I will look for that
thanks
!info gstreamer
plz note I am not connted with internet so i ca not use apt-get etc.
Package gstreamer does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=gstreamer&searchon=names&subword=1&version=feisty&release=all
apt-cache search gstreamer | grep gstreamer
and use apt-zip to download the stuff you need then

Is there a channel spisifically intended for Ubuntu-accessibility questions? Because although I have spisific questions that you people can answer just fine, alot of my questions refference accessibility tools in Ubuntu wich some of you may be totally clueless (no offense intended) about how
to use, or be unable to answer my questions due to in-experice.
Already did that: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2912397&postcount=5
mm ok, you need to put de install CD of ubuntu for install new packages...
inexperience, sorry.
hi. i am looking for a font the looks like Western Writting... any ideas?
herzenstern, dafont.com
In synaptic - repositoris, you have to enable the CD/DVD option
do something dirty: unmount /boot. then create install the kernel. then move away the freshly installed files, mount /boot again and copy the new files in. then run /sbin/update-grub manually of course
How can I set the default keymap for all users (not only X)?
Good suggestion, thanks, will try that.
Are you willing to talk me trough that?
look for a fedora linux accessibility channel or better forum/mailinglist in gernal. not just ubuntu
BRB. I will test the Ubuntu-accessibility channel, but thank you for general-levl assistance.
level
ok, i will try again using synpatic after put my live CD into cd drive. (CD/DVD option is enabled since when I put CD then a pop up appear says that it include packages in synaptic)
BRB.
thanx
Can i run ubuntu sever 7.04 on a P2, with 64mb ram and 6.4gb hd?
I will back tomorrow.
imho, with accessibility questions, the pools is too small so ask general questions and be prepared to do your won config work is best. better results than only relying on a distro
barely. more ram would be better
nafis, without X it should work quite fast
see you, good luck
hi there I'm trying to get some stuff from Synaptic but i am getting this:E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
Unable to lock the list directory
either you are not root or some other packaging program is having that lock
thanks, trying to convert my home desktop from windows to linux.
`pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` set as an alias in .bashrc, maybe with alias comp='....' and: `wx-config --cppflags` `wx-config --libs` maybe with alias widget='....' so that I can simply do gcc or g++ comp or widget foofile.cpp or .c any ideas why it's returning errors as if I didn't
include those options?
BadRobot, are you root?
i will be using only in text mode
ie apt, or aptitude or synaptic are already open
anyone yep
I am
another app open?
hi. I am trying to install ubuntu 7.04. When it is booting into the install (livecd) it just sits there - Outputiing "Permission denied". It then says something about alsactl error
like apt-get in terminal
It seems that I cannot umount /boot, because the device is busy - even after a clean reboot.
how do i install a font (ttf)
Anyone who knows anything about the kernels process scheduling?
lsof, fuser
Strangeness everywhere.
So, when will compiz(-fusion) be the default Window Manager?
what's your question, without the prelims?
Ind[y]: WIR
lsof | grep boot gives me nothing.
i will be using only in text mode in the server edition?? will it run then??
what is WIR?
so,what should i do to fix it?
errors in are one in particular that it cant find header files... if I manually input those options, of course, it's able to find the headers.. is it because of the tildas?
When It's Ready
close the app that has the lock
tildes are a shell expansion, so no
But "sudo lsof | grep boot" shows me that klogd has a lock on /boot/System.map-2.6.20-15-generic.
Is load SMP load balancing broken in Feisty?
yes, of course, but when it will be ready?
How do I resolve this?
hello
Hello, I just read about the ntfs-3g driver that can be used to enable write access to NTFS partitions. Is there anyone here that uses it? What I wanted to know was if its really safe to use it? Are there possibilities of my Windows partition getting messed up?
wols_, any idea why bash is not like the aliases as I wrote them there, of course with '...' replaced with the actual options
I v much doubt it - peeps would be whining
