you have to add firestarter to your auto-start list since it's just a gui for iptables which runs anyways on boot

How can I use BitTorrent if it's banned on my school network?

No way of using some kind of proxy or tunnel lor smething?

kitche:it seems to be a common thing, i found lots of posts about the same thing on google

nah, not in a big network as your school...

just leave the downloads running on your home pc?

It's not a big network really, it's a very small private school, they don't have a very mainstream network

i mean, if you have the skills for bypassing the network be my guest, but most schools have packet sniffers that record things like that...
hm... what kind of network are we talking about?

i don't hve a home PC, only a laptop, and I'm at school like 80% of the time

servers? users?

thx for all the help, I'm just kind of frustrated and having a bad day. Got the problem fixed though

Hacker alert
Just use a proxy via web

for bittorrent?

No problem

Oh geez. Do you want to be arressted?

did anyone succeed in changing xdosemu font?

last time i checked bittorrent didnt use port 80...
arrested for what?
talking about security?

andreasdohl, what are you wanting to download
you can tell your client to use port 80

Is Ubuntu Lite still alive?

no but you can handcuff me to the bed anytime cutie :P

but you won't be sharing

Hey! Would anyone know what plug-in i need to access higher-end websites? Ex: scion.com

gerro, Fantastic!

mike3_ no you cant use port 80...

Why does order # 2359724 say it shipped, but no tracking #. Customer waiting ticket # 1355674

andreasdohl, I know you can change ports on clients, so why not try port 80?

With Firefox.

what is ubuntu lite? I heard of fluxbuntu which is kind of lite

because its the http port

Whats the best way to install a bin file on ubuntu ?

fluxbuntu? heh is there fvwm2buntu?

and any traficc thats not http does not get thorugh
through

andreasdohl, so

since when?

traffic... damn its late

Hello.........

e.g., ubuntfvwm2

adobe flash

well, theoretically, nothing but htp will get through...
http
ffs

i have downloaded adobe flash

andreasdohl, well if they have something monitoring the packets then you're screwed.

ant traffic will go over port 80 as long as it's not filtered by your isp

mike3_ read up, im not the one wnating to use bittorrent

or at least the version that YouTube uses... any other specific versions needed?

im not even in school

cafuego, Not ture if he has a smart enough firewall/proxy handling it

the only trick is that it's a port udner 1024, so you need to be root locally to listen on 80.

andreasdohl, man i've used port 80

but thats cool for you mike3_ if you can use port 80 for bittorrent thats good for you

cafuego, he'd at least get traffic out , but won't be able to host

my mp3 to my ipod using gtkpod?

I set my client to use port 80 and it does nothing still

andreasdohl, go lick something

uggh its still not working... but I got rid of some of the buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block messages now lot of sr0 ones and 2 fd0s

if he runs torrent as root he will

I tried disabling floppy in bios

thats so mature

cafuego, unless the firewall policy disables it

andreasdohl, and I care.

can't you rip the flopy out ?

in which case, switch ISPs

Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question

cafuego, yes but this is his school 's firewalls..

ok

Is Fluxbuntu the "lightest" ubuntu?

ah, ouch

its to eard to follow

there is *no* floppy, the thing is the cdrom can be taken out and switched with a floppy anytime I think its hot swappable too perhaps, so the kernel is trying to detect an imaginary floppy drive and getting that confused with the cd its booting off of

School uses ISA Server 2000 as a firewall

well fluxbuntu is not an official ubuntu project

I am trying to install ubuntu 6.06 on my Dell 6000 laptop computer

I need some help with getting Webmin to work externally, and set up a vnc server host on this box... anyone able 2 help?

how can i copy my mp3 to my ipod using gtkpod?

I'm guessing the lightest ubuntu would be to install as server

to my understanding you can only have four "total" partitions

fluxbuntu looks awweeesome, can't wait until I can try it on my new system

lightest ubuntu with X

apt-get install fluxbox, done

well four primary partitions

also gerro if you have a floppy drive, just install it using floppys

how do I mount an external hard drive with write permissions?

why bother worrying about proxys and firewalls when you can just ask mike3_ to show you how to use port 80 as a bittorrent port

that isn't fluxbuntu it uses rox and few other things

I'm looking for something I can virtualize without dedicating too much resources to for basic development purposes

is there a reason why you ctcp me?

but i will have same problem as the cd

apt-get install fluxbox, rox, etcetera"

I tried sudo mount -rw /dev/sdb1 /media/LaCie/

but my dell has three partitions already

O

Is there a way to run windows .NET executables? :x

and preferably out of the box so I don't have to waste too much time with it

kitche i was wondering what client you were using

offtopic

I need some help with getting Webmin to work externally, and set up a vnc server on this box... anyone able 2 help?

I think the problem might be that this is a dvd/cdrw drive and not for normal cds so can't boot off of it

Would anyone know what i need to access scion.com on Firefox?

that would be 5 partitions total?

I'm not an expert but fluxbox is pretty light so fluxbuntu should suit you just fine.

he was anwsering my question to him

Zack, flash.

xfce.. is that lighter you think?

nope

I've not spent much time with fluxbox

I know, this is weird i have all updated Java and Adobe but it just doesnt work.

can anyone tell me how to customize or download customized taskbars for ubuntu

does anyone own a dell inspiron 6000 laptop

xfce is a desktop environment, fluxbox is a window manager

seodavid, doesn't webmin accept connections from outside by default?

I connected an external usb harddrive to my computer, next time I started it Ubuntu wouldn't start, now I can only access the windows partition (after doing fixmbr to get rid of grub).

I've written a thread on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2906074 about it which has more info and...

yeah, it wont get past 80% here either, its the website, not you.

did you run into trouble with partitions Taj

my windows computer loads it just fine

Mine doesnt

jimqode:it stopped working
poss to do with ports
and no not running firestarter etc

:-/ how does that work?

Zack, it works fine for both my machines now

how do you install ubuntu on a dell inspirion 6000 that starts out with three partitions

If you still have problems, clear your private data and try again, I suspect the site is flakey at the moment

seodavid, login to webmin from localhost. go to webmin/webmin configuration/ip access control

macd:.......80%
80%

Zack, well its not bad flash, and its not firefox, thats fairly obvious.
Zack, so......its not really an ubuntu issue

soooo what is it?

digitalhighway - choose manual when the installer gets to disks then you can choose / as the mountpoint on the free space you want to use

If you still have problems, clear your private data and try again, I suspect the site is flakey at the moment

does beryl work with enlightenment?

I'm trying to make CPU scaling work on my C2D T5500

ook

Cain, ask in #enlightenment

no since they both are window managers'

what about the swap partition TAJ

so i have to use gnome if i want beryl
that sucks

its just odd it works on my IE but not firefox

the root and swap partitions both need to be there right?

hi I just did sudo apt-get kde and sudo apt-get kubuntu-default-settings

or xfce or kde

but when I load kde the panel does not load
just an empty bar at the bottom

digitalhighway - use gparted to make a 512mb or 1gb partition and format it as fedora linux Swap

how can I rectify this?

Compiz Fusion might work by itself haven't checked it out really

enlightenment + beryl god that would be sweet

Cain, on many other choices. But I suspect you really mean compiz not beryl.

oh well

yea compiz

TAJ

hi guys...can anyone givem me a hint how to join #rythmbox at irc.gnome.org with xchat ?

Compiz will work with most window managers

I did that...which makes 4 partitions ....but I need to add the root partition which makes it 5...

im using intell i810 driver
but i cant find any hep file for i810

digitalhighway - ok then you will need an extended partition - which is a container for up to 6 more partitions

anyone?

ok, how do I do that?

forget about it

digitalhighway - so you can have 3 primary partitions - then make a extended partition - and you can keep the rest of the partitions in that
digitalhighway - gparted will do that for you if you have 3 or less partitions you can make an extended partition

I have a problem with a hard drive that I can't get to mount as read write

Cain, according to the compiz wiki, intel i810 works, in fact theyh ave instructions there on howto:

how do I do that?

digitalhighway - extended partition is a container so that you can have more than 4 partitions on one drive

do you have instuctions on how to do that
this is all new to me
website?

digitalhighway - gparted is pretty intuitive - just right click on unused space and make new partition - tell it to be extended instead of primary

Anyone have any kind of FAQ page about hibernating in Ubuntu 7.10? or some kind of alternate hibernation methods? I can't find any.

how do you delete partitions in qparted

7.10? gutsy? #ubuntu+1

7.10.
er, not 7.10
Shit. I've been through a few distros. fiesty.

7.04*?
lol

Hibernate goes crazy on my acer 5100.

hibernate "just works" here

yea, 7.04.. lol, sorry.
Hibernate works the first time you hibernate it

not "pretty" but it works

can you delete partitions in gparted?

after that, it goes crazy. my power button goes off, but the laptop stays on..
DigitalHighway; yes.

and create new ones

but, anyway, bur[n]er , hibernate goes crazy.. it just turns everything off, doesn't go to "sleeP" i guess.. but monitor stays on, and after a few minutes, te login box pops up.. but the keyboard is disabled

try the wiki or the forums? or googling your specific laptop model?

im trying to get ntp to load on boot but i don't know how to use the rc.d stuff i tried using sysc-rc-conf but ntp isn't listed in along with the rest of the progs that load on boot.

bur[n]er; tried both. :|
not wiki, but the forums, and googling my laptopmodel.

cfdisk might be easier to use for newbie

wiki might have info if other people have your model and can at least confirm it doesn't work
bwiki might have info if other people have your model and can at least confirm it doesn't work /b
it also just works on my compaq laptop

well, it works, the FIRST time you hibernate

is there an easy to use spectrometer program in linux?

after you wake it, and try agian.. it goes bezerk.

i'm pretty sure I hibernate it all the time

weitz0r, /usr/sbin/swat

have you tried running it ?
sudo swat ?

no
yes sudo swat

that would probably start it

you dont run swat from the command line

sudo /usr/svin/swat start?

and i believe swat is run from inetd
so you dont start it
you just goto port 901 or something like that
localhost:901

i tried
page not found

do you have inetd loaded?

i really new in linux, so i don't understand what do you mean buy saiyn inetd loaded

check /etc/inetd.conf
make sure there is a line in there for swat, and that its not #commented out

hello.

it SHOULD be in there if you installed swat

had

hey, guys, is swap a must?

not really

no

no it is not!

well hrm it should work then, type this: cat /etc/services | grep swat

kel39ru using all your ram up is rare unless you're doing advanced stuff

can just do grep swat /etc/services
really depends on the amount of ram

oke, its nice then, cuz it's kinda difficult to fit something on 171mb hd

TaJMoX, ...might want to ask him how much RAM he has first before you say that :P

intagir, swat 901/tcp # swat

well thats weird, looks like everything is there
try this: sudo /etc/init.d/inetd restart

i wold like to have some swap, cuz it also have only 32mb ram, but.. heh -.-

firefox cannot establish connection with localhost:901

sudo update-alternatives config Xorg update-alternatives: unknown argument `config'

kel39ru, how much RAM do you have?

whats the problem?

/etc/init.d/inetd: command not found

read above

I've installed ubuntu, but when it tries to boot from HD nothing happens... can you guys help me out troubleshoot this?

kel39ru, 32 mb? .

aha!

did you install boot mgr like grub

actually, there are 6 x 8mb things inside, but i dunno why, but a the prompt i got only 32..

Zyxus, the normal install did install grub. but nothing happears, no prompt at all :|

intangir, so what i should do?

kel39ru, what exactly are you installing...on?

32ram?? my portable gps has got 128mb :P

check my private messages

did you set hd boot priority in BIOS

Zyxus, yes, I did.

Cain, did you...check with the tab command to see if what you tried was...'legal'?

hi, when listing partitions with fdisk, what means the plus (+) sign after the Blocks column? i.e. some partitions have + after their size in blocks, and others do not.

rdl do you have dual boot on this hd

bah, i didnt log in so you cant see my queries
first make a backup copy of your inetd.conf

is there a way to run a Windows program on ubuntu?

i don't see an private messages

Zyxus, nope. I've got this: http://pastie.caboo.se/73405

apparently swat didnt depend on inetd, even though it needs it, so it didnt add to the config, since it didnt exist yet

Err....DSL != Ubuntu :P

sometimes. what program you want to run?

!wine | lbs

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

type this: sudo cp /etc/inetd.conf inetd.conf.b4

intagir, how i should create it
ok

Zyxus, I'm using a /boot partition on the first HD. then, I'm using LVM on the two HD.

sudo apt-get install openbsd-inetd

Can someone help me. Everytime I boot my system 20 times and it does the forced file system check, fsck hangs and I have to use the install cd to boot into a rescue shell. Can someone help me remidy this

it's a program called CoastalNet

__mikem, how long does it hang for?

sry man, but this (Ubuntu) is what i run on my normal desctop, i like it, and i dont think i can find a better channel then thisone, for linux discussion

intagir it is ok now

LVM boot disk is problematic... never messed with LVM on boot

Music_Shuffle, It hangs for ever.

kel39ru - dsl forum?

kel39ru, yeah, I get what you're trying to do, but you didn't specify it earlier, so it was confusing :P

try with wine, as rbs-tito said

intagir, what i should do next?

Zyxus, I got /boot on a non-LVM partition

__mikem, I meant like...how long have you...waited/counted?

Music_Shuffle, the system effectively freezes

you installed openbsd-inetd?

hey all. anyone happen to have a TomTom and using it under ubuntu?

if it does not work, you can try crossover office (its payed product, but has a free trieal). its based on wine, with some improvements

yes

i dont expect Ubuntu to run on this hardware, i tryed Debian, but it dint finished installation neather

intagir, yes

did you copy the swat line back into inetd.conf?

DSL is awesome with the toram option

thanks for the wine suggestion - one follow up question: do programs run significantly slower on wine?

kel39ru DSL runs your hardware but ubuntu doesnt?

Is there a way to have some sort of file that when run would do a bunch of different things like replacing a file, moving a file, opening firefox, running some commands, opening firefox again to a certain page, then replacing more files?

oh nvm

What cmd parms should I pass to what program to cause a program to open with a given dimensions?

Possibly through the terminal

/etc/inetd.conf

__mikem, oh...ouch. I know mine tends to hang at spots for ~5-10 minutes sometimes when its being difficult, but it tends to resolve if I wait it out. /shrug.

yes, dsl runs, as i sayd above 171mb hd, aint gonna hold Ubuntu hehe

you installed grub to sda

/etc/inetd.conf: Permission denied

I'm installing jdk from the .bin file, I used java-package to generate the deb package but it give this messages and doesn't produce the deb pack "No matching plugin was found.
done"

/etc/inetd.conf

it gave you that error?

why don't you use the packaged java?

Zyxus, ubuntu install does that, no?

did it work?

because I'm installing the a recent version with update that its not on the source repositories

also wanted to try FreeBSD + fluxbox (would of been something new to lern for me) but i decided stay on linux for yet

intagir, i typed what you said and get this
/etc/inetd.conf: Permission denied

ok try it like this instaed
sudo su

/etc/inetd.conf

lol

I gave windows up..I need to know what program in apt-get can I use for recording audio or video..thank you.

Zyxus, if there is not boot loader, the BIOS halts with a message, no?

TECH-, have you tried Audacity?
For audio.

then after that: /etc/init.d/inetd restart

sometimes it just hangs

No..will it record for a good period?

Zyxus, without a message at all?

TECH-, pretty much as long as you want...I've never been able to max it out or anything.

run live cd and then install grub to sda1

/etc/inetd.conf.b4: No such file or directory

Excellent...Thank You.

bah, didnt you make the copy before you installed ?
copy this line to the bottom of your inetd.conf file :swatIIstreamItcpInowait.400IrootI/usr/sbin/tcpdI/usr/sbin/swat
or not

yes i have had no grub in MBR and it just hangs..no msg

TECH- GL

thats from what you pasted me

you can run grub-install or from cmd line run grub

intagir, with semicoma?

Zyxus, I'll try to install it. its just grub-install /dev/sda ?

hmm hi how to find a harddisk UUID out ?

Tru7h, but if you write a script for it, when you reboot, its going to be gone...and it might be more hassle to pastebin and save or something than to just...redo the entire process.

If you have a flash drive, you can make the livecd run in persistent mode, so changes are saved.

intagir, i know that windows is lame, but i need to access pc

cafuego, that's possible?

usbkey

aye

are you using normal compiz, or compiz fusion?

How do you change the font of your terminal?

guys, what are all of the ubuntu irc channels besides this one

cafuego, ...that's pretty cool. Thanks

my monitor is capable of displaying 1400x900 res, but that's not one of the options in the res selector gui, what should I do?

all i can suggest is to goto nautilus: then on the menu select Go-Network
and browse them out, open windows network
select the right workgroup

charlie, there's a lot of them. #ubuntu-offtopic is fun

and it should open them up

ati or nvidia

intagir, it is very pity to me

it works for me, im in a large office and i can access 30 somethign guys from here

configure it, select 'Simple' for moionitors and then enabled all resolutions you need, including 1440x900.

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

maybe there is something fishy about the network setup

do you use an intel ?

Does anyone know how to change the font in your terminal window

or maybe its not allowing certain broadcasts

wiet0r, no amd

then I don't know

you can try typing in the compute rnames like "smb://someonesbox"
in nautilus

or for more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence

nautilus i think can view/mount most windows shares even without samba installed

nobody know why my printer would randomly have stopped working. It was working fine in Ubuntu -- it still works fine on my Windows machine. Suddenly, I'm getting "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110" in my /var/log/syslog... any ideas?

no
intagir, no

normal compiz, "out of the box" feisty

intagir but smb://someonIP - yes
intagir

i'm using normal compiz, at least i thing ( ubuntu 7.04 out of the box)

well at least that works, not sure how else to help you on that, mine works already

sorry then, i know a workaround for compiz fusion (via beryl), but that seems like overkill for you

intagir, i found nmblookup
intagir, how i can use it?

Can someone help me. Everytime I boot my system 20 times and it does the forced file system check, fsck hangs and I have to use the install cd to boot into a rescue shell. Can someone help me remidy this

fsck hangs?

does anybody happen to know how to enable cpu frequency scaling for amd athlon xp +2800 ?

yes

Google does

no google doesn't

if fsck hangs, your filesystem ahs problems, the forced fsck afetr 20 boots is normal (though not strictly needed normally).

or i can't understand google
(he's been drinking)

cafuego, no, because when I run fsck from a rescue disk, it works fine

I'd rether not mess around with the filesystem and stuff on my drive. I have alot of stuff on there I don't want to risk.

Okay

can anyone tell me is there a way to change the sid of a group in samba?, i need to make "Domain Admins" -512 it auto makes it -1001 ?

does the `alternate' cd work ok?

@isherpri: what is your problem?

I used that on my X2 and had no problems.

i haven't tried that disc.. is the alternate CD the same OS?
i know it sounds silly

that may well not have anything to do with your processor if your video is going crazy. Try the alternate install CD. It gives you some options instead of booting into the desktop. one option is to do a text-based install.

ah!

If it can't boot to the alternate install CD's menu then there really is something funky going.

do you know if 7.04 has support for touch screens?

That I don't know. I've never had to support a touch screen.

touch screens should just work as a standard ps2 pointing device no ?

i was worried more about the drivers for making the screen function itself

or USB I guess, depending on the implementation (the old touch screens I used worked that way)

then again, i have no idea how touch screens work lol

a touch screen is just a normal LCD with a position sensing layer/film

I know I've seen touch screens work with ubuntu.

ah!

or a CRT one had a special base that detected the angle the screen was being pushed back etc

you gang are very helpful

Microsoft describes ubuntu as perfect: http://209.85.129.104/search?q=cache:wrLRF8L6fpsJ:www.windowsmarketplace.com/details.aspx%3Fview%3Dinfo%26itemid%3D3411347+windows+market+place+ubuntu+is+perfect&hl=no&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=no
It's from google cache

It's funny that that would make Microsoft a linux distributor.

thing is, after 'Kernel Alive' it switches to a framebuffer... the alternate with text install doesn't do that.

what would you recommend AIXGL or Xgl ?

quick question. i get an error when i goto install Pidgin "E: Couldn't find package pidgin" ,. any reason why ?

They also describe Vista as 'good', so I don't think we'd want to be associated with them in any wany.

cafuego, haha good point, although I still think it's kinda funny

so cafuego, should i invoke any command then to do that switchover manually?

Is there a PPC build of Ubuntu?

yes

Oh, on the livecd? i don't know if it can.

!ppc | vaclav

PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ

Thanks :P

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

no, i mean i'm going to boot from the alternate and try that.. but you said something along the lines of switching to a framebuffer, and that the alternate doesnt do that.. should i enter a command to make it switch to framebuffer?

I am having a problem with Firefox not being able to connect to the internet. Could someone her help me or should I go somewhere else?

if your question hasn't been answered, have you tried installing GAIM? Maybe your repositories don't have it under the new name.

Hey a c programming question... How do I represent something in binary when i write my code. You know hex is something like 0xFFFF but how do i get to write the bits myself? like 0b1000100101

didn't know if it was the same machine

something like that

Nono, the alternate cannot run as a livecd, it does atext based install only, afaik.

for example, i'm on a VM right now

In a way, hex is binary. Each 'digit' just maps to four hex bits. It's also a lot more compact.

I just uninstalled dansguardian through synaptic and now I can't reach the internet.

OH i understand.. so in other words, once the text-based installer completes, i should be able to boot into the OS as normal?

yeah i know

how to i make a root account ? i use server dist.

but i want it in binary,,

do any of you know how to "chkdsk" a drive?

ideally yes. if not, you can at least boot into it in text mode and check logs :-)
sudo passwd

cafuego thx.

ok, so i am having a bad time with grub on my desktop

i wish there was a smartphone distro.. i'd load it right now
a motorola Q running ubuntu would be bad ass

I sadly don't know enough about C to tell you. I don't think I've ever used binary, though I vaguely remember a project where I might have wanted binary but used hex instead.

ok no problem

cafuego dont work ?
hostis@server:~$ sudo passwd
Password:
Sorry, try again.

it is giving me heck about "Error 17" which i see on the forums but none of those things mix my problem

sudo prompts you for your own password once if you haven't used it for the last five minutes or so.

first, enter your OWN password, for sudo.
*then* set the root password.

im just trying to use a char as 8 booleans, and since it is such a small variable it would actually be more readable in binary

w8

when I try to mount my ntfs windows partition.. i get back "volume is dirty...try chkdsk"

hallo

after that you're asking it to run passwd as root, which will set the root password. The account exists, you just can't log into it.

why not use an int and bitmask it?

cafuego, what is bitmask

oh bother

guess its a google

yeh :-)

ubuntu is definitely the best hosting coaster making project i've taken on
well slackware might have it beat, actually

I don't think pidgin is in the repositories yet. Try http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-pidgin-200-on-ubuntu-feisty-with-plugin-pack.html

basically, store your booleans as powers of 2.

Question for anyone willing. I'm on a toshiba laptop, not using fglrx, and suspend never actually gets to suspend. screen goes black but not off. front lights stay on... hibernate works, but i loose screen brightness control after resuming.

wine applications run inside wine, so to other linux processes they look like wine processes and not like whatever is inside. I don't know of any work to allow wine processes to communicate with fedora linux processes.
though I don't know what Getright is.

getright is a downloading client

thanks persica

in my opinion one of the best windows download accelerator and manager

scan through the output of "lspci -v" i think
easier - sudo scanpci

My guess is that it then expects a windows browser to hook into. When you run an application in wine it only sees a certain subdirectory as its C: drive. In addition it won't understand the linux version of firefox, so it won't be able to hook into your linux firefox. You'd have to install a copy of firefox in Wine to use it.

apparently getright works in wine

nope download accelerators hasnt caught up with linux distros yet and axel is useless cause it doesnt bypass what most server have implemented to stop download accelerator also the options on it are minimal to my requirements

but you'll have to copy and paste the download links into getright - it wont capture them from ubuntu firefox

A copy-and-paste isn't so bad.

Hi, since upgrading to Feisty I have needed to disable power management due to kernel panics, but this is not optimal for a laptop. Trying to start things from single user mode like frequency scaling works fine, but I think it is the SATA hard drive which causes the panics whenever /etc/init.d/dbus is started. Does anyone know how I can selectively disable the buggy power management but keep the rest? Maybe some modules I sho

is it possible to run .rpm on ubuntu?

the firefox extension downthem all is somewhat like a download accelerator (does chunking and saving of partial downloads). I'm late to this, so I dont know if it's been reccomended to you, but it's similar to getright, and wouldn't require using wine.

Yes, but don't use it for system-critical programs
!rpm

RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)

just for maya

you definitely don't need to reinstall. There's other ways to do it if that doesn't work (it should, and the other methods are a bit ugly)

back up xorg.conf first
and if all else fails, go into recovery
and copy it back

already done

I think that means you have a filesystem corruption. The file size and the space on disk are inconsistent. Try checking your file system.

did you try using automatix it worked like really easy for me.

touchscreen and the whole 9.. but it doesnt do SQUAT WITHOUT AN OS

have no clue about hp if they are like macs youl'll haveprobs installing ubunut but im sure hp is compatible with ubuntu - their latest pcs come with it

will a VM use the host machine's hardware?

no

a map

there is no file system!

brilarks, whats that?

im partitioning it1

are you serious? i wasnt able to buy a system with anything but vista on it

only root can access that map but i want that all my users can access that map

It's this cool software that loads all the things that aren't automatically included.

oh, hrm. What filesystem?

what is the map made by?

checkout easyubuntu also

how do you mean?

its just like automatix but more media focused
codecs and what not

now another problem....

I don't know what you mean by map, and can't really tell you how to fix it unless I know. There's a few possibilities

that appears in dmesg? have u tried sudo modprobe nvidia from the command line?

youre just ahving one of those days if youre machine is 64 bit you should getting 64 bit ubuntu but ive heard thats messy but that it will be more compatible with 64 bit hardware especially if youre saying the the comp is meant for vista

there is a recovery patition on my laptop, it is a 5 gig FAT32 partition. When I clicked cancel on the error msg I got another msg saying the problem was with this partition. I shoudl just ignore this as I dont want to mess with that partition at all anyways correct?

ubuntu will recognize pre-made partitions right? i paritioned the hell out of the drive with the windows paritioner when i installed xp

agn0stic its /media/disk/htdocs

sure. If you need everyone to be able to read and write to it, chmod a+rw /media/disk/htdocs

tnx

oh ok - so if you type lsmod | grep nvidia u can see the kernel module loaded?

fisherpri, i put fiesty on my wife's hp. bought it new in jan.

touchscreen?

why didnt you use gparted or something similar they are good and less messy than windows partitioner also they allow EXT3 as well as some other useful options

i know it has something to do with the video bc the screen goes bonkers

maximal,no

Umm, not the root. Bummer

what?
bummer? *confused*

if it's a recovery partition it is probably a bit weird. Some vendors intentionally put errors in those file systems so they won't show up in windows. It usually just contains a backup windows installation.

i don't mind partitioning it again

It just means 'unlucky'
I've run out of suggestions I'm afraid.

so whens the next major relase date?

i've got nvidia as the first entry in my /etc/modules

You'll have to try someone else
