<0> heh
<0> i'm used to version numbers just didnt know some did it by year/month
<1> Mellar: ahh... okay I'll make that change, thank you
<2> there numbering convention goes always 5.04 5.10 6.04 6.10 7.04 7.10 ect
<2> they use this because its the month its released, 04 =april 10 =oct.
<3> just as well that the numbers refer to a date, the old thinking that 1.0 is "ok now our product is good enough for public release" and 2.0 is the next version is outdated in my view as some jump up their numbers for no reason (like java's 1.5 becoming 5.0)
<4> usually follows with other totally unrelated products
<5> lol
<4> like IE7...now that's out, everyone will use numbers higher than 7
<5> except firefox
<5> they will keep it real
<4> and then there's the year-based versions
<2> does anyone know how to read/write to xbox memory cards in linux, iam tired of rebooting to use action replay,
<2> maybe it might run in wine?
<1> urf
<1> ok apt-get install smartmontools says it can't be found, but is referred to by another package
<1> http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/utils/smartmontools doesn't mention it being obsoleted
<1> and I do have universe and multiverse in my config
<1> there we go
<1> must have had something odd in the sources.list
<1> thanks for your help, Mellar... I'm not new to linux by any stretch of the imagination, but this old slackware mindset makes some of these concepts difficult :-)
<1> how does one *re*configure a package? dpkg --configure packagename says it's already done
<6> (maybe stupid question) tried --reconfigure option?
<7> tzanger: dpkg-reconfigure
<7> tzanger: ok. I'm using zenwalk myself
<8> greetings.
<8> i have a question....
<9> I hope rockinrod wasn't mad that we weren't hanging on his every word
<10> blah
<10> I cannot for the life of me get dual screens working
<11> hey i'm trying to install ati drivers for my ubuntu machine; i'm looking at http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide#Method_1:_Install_the_Driver_the_Ubuntu_Way . it seems like everything worked. only when i do "sudo aticonfig --initial"
<12> what happens?
<11> sudo: aticonfig: command not found
<12> uhhh
<13> hey is there any way to just run the .run file that you can download off of ATI's website?
<0> anyone use deluge for torrent?
<2> why dont you use utorrent through wine?
<0> hmm
<0> havent thought of that
<0> utorrent was grade on windows
<0> i'll try that when i get back thanks
<14> hi eveyone! i have a security issue. in grub, i added "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel arguments and was logged into the system with no p***word required! is this a security hole, or is it simply taken for granted that you p***word protect grub?
<0> why did my mounted ntfs drive just crap out
<7> sounds like hardware problems
<15> when i press shift it maxx and restores window only when in beryl, any idea on how to set it all back to default?
<16> Good evening everyone. I have what I hope to be a simple question, but I've been unable to find an answer. I know how to link directories, but can you do it with individual files? IE: I want /etc/proftpd.conf and /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf to remain identical copies...or preferably, actually be the same file.
<3> simple use symlink
<3> "ln -s source dest" that will create a symlink
<16> ln -s /etc/proftpd.con /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf didn't work
<16> (type in the chat, not the command I ran. .conf not .con)
<3> oh what was the error message?
<16> It didn't give one..it executed with no errors (only thing it requested was the pw since I ran it w/ sudo obviously)
<16> It "looked" like it worked, but it didn't
<3> strange indeed
<16> Good to know I was atleast on the right track. Not just to figure out why it didn't work.
<16> Thanks for the attempt. Much appreciated.
<3> np
<17> anyone know how to get vista to read/write to ext3 filesystem so i dont have to format my HDs to FAt32?
<18> hi :>
<18> anyone familiar with ubuntu dapper want to tell me why my clock might suddenly be 5 hours ahead even though the time zone is correct?
<19> anyone has idea about this
<19> http://www.highwaychurch.org.uk/pptp.png
<20> I have a problem whith my ubuntu 6.10 - when i use this command sudo apt-get install wmware-player i get the floowing error /var/cache/apt/archives/vmware-player_1.0.2-2_i386.deb
<21> got a question.. anyone tried XGL/Beryl with a ATI Mobility Chip. e.x. 9600 RV350 series?
<21> wondering what the performance woudl be like, and if it would be worth testing
<20> E: sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
<20> why
<21> check your logs, something happend when dkpg was wowrking with the package
<20> i will look at it later =) thanks
<22> hi
<22> so i tried booting up again after going into windows and i get this after the ubuntu startup screen pops up
<22> /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
<22> (initramfs) [17179577.524000] ohci1394: fwhost0: SelfID received outside of bus reset sequence
<23> quaal_mac: is there a question?
<22> yea, is it fixable ?
<22> i cant boot
<22> the only thing i changed was the nvidia driver in xorg.conf from "nv" to "nvidia"
<22> but it doesnt let me vi in the command line
<22> and it also doesnt let me cd /etc/X11
<22> like X11 isnt even there
<23> well those lines ya just pasted have absolutely nothing to do with nv driver at all
<22> ok
<22> any idea what they involve ?
<23> that looks like it cant mount the root file system because it's on a usb drive or something....
<22> ...
<22> i didnt change the root FS
<22> the drive is the same as its always been
<22> the master on an IDE cable
<23> and ya need to have those drivers as compiled in feature not as modular
<22> let me try to unplug the slave NTFS drive thats on the same cable
<23> maybe they dont relate at all
<23> hard to say with just random pastes
<22> the drive that crapped out in linux for no apparent reason
<23> depends on lots of things... but mostly the symptoms and what ya doing
<22> i just booted it from CD with no problems..
<22> bah
<22> my root drive got changed from hdd to hdc
<22> how in the hell
<22> i installed ubuntu on hdd
<22> then later it changed the drive from /dev/hdd to /dev/hdc
<22> and now wont boot
<22> anyone know how to make it bootable again
<23> edit /etc/fstab ; man fstab
<23> use cd as rescue disk....
<22> hmm
<22> i found many errors with fsck
<22> fixed them
<22> was told to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst
<22> http://pastebin.ca/341541
<22> appears to be the correct line for loading ubuntu on hdc1
<22> fstab looks right also http://pastebin.ca/341552
<24> Where can I get a liveCD of ubuntu, just to try it out?
<22> have you thought of ubuntu.com ?
<24> cant find
<24> which iso is it?
<24> there's too many :P
<22> if you cant read enough to find the cd you need to download, you probably dont want to bother with installing it
<24> i dont want to install anything
<22> ok, downloading it.
<24> i downloaded one but it didnt boot
<22> change your bios settings.
<24> i go to splash screen
<24> and it loaded for ever, didn't finish
<24> finish loading
<22> it takes a while.
<24> like five to ten minutes? :o
<22> probably more like 15 for me
<24> ok, because the thing were moving from right to left and then just stopped so I thought it didn't work
<25> Hi, Why does Ubuntu lock itself into somthing that looks lika a "hang"/"timeout" (dont know the correct word in eng) after like 1h of idel time.
<0> oh sweet
<0> using nvidia driver i'm getting sound output with certain screensavers
<26> hi, im having problems with X11 on my ATI card, I tried the stuff in the unofficial ATI wiki but to no avail

<26> hi, im having problems with X11 on my ATI card, I tried the stuff in the unofficial ATI wiki but to no avail

<27> what's the problem?
<26> dri wont load
<26> im using fglrx driver
<26> which i think was installed default with edgy
<26> hmm do you know if SCIM will interfere with WINE
<26> i get an X11 error with wine, but the only thing that should differentiate my computer with my coworker's is that i installed scim
