<0> hopefully someone can help me out. I was running the adept updater and my computer crashed in the middle of a large update. All the files were downloaded and it was installing them. My network card is no longer recognized. Is there a way to start the update process from where it left off?
<1> I know it works in debian
<1> but somehow, ubuntu deleted all the downloaded packages, and tried to download them all over again
<1> this was when upgrading to breezy
<2> yeah
<2> get hold of an install cd
<2> upgrade
<2> the end.
<3> im planning on installing windows on a new drive i have. i already have ubuntu installed on one drive. windows will prolly overwrite the MBR, so what would i have to do to be able to get back into ubuntu?
<4> cool didn't know you guys had a channel
<4> ok I built the new 2.6.17 kernel
<4> and lost my wifi card
<4> http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/
<4> did everything it asked
<4> still no wifi
<4> any ideas ?
<4> ok keep up the good work :D
<4> happy idling
<5> aleister crowley said hello
<5> he was hanging out with eliphas levi last year
<6> is there a way to force the desktop to a certain resolution automatically when a particular program is running and then have it switched back when it closes? or failing that, is there shell command that changes the resolution?
<7> hey folks
<7> how do i specify a partition on my hard drive as swap space
<8> Does Ubuntu have support for Centrino Duo?
<9> yes it does
<9> http://tuxmobil.org/centrino.html
<8> tnx
<10> installed ubuntu 6.06 ... but i cant do "su" says pw is wrong .... what to do ?
<11> sudo p***wd root
<9> ubuntu doesn't have a root p***word as such
<11> <normal user p***>
<11> <new root p***>
<11> <new root p*** again>
<9> use 'sudo -s' to get a root prompt
<11> to unlock root
<10> tnx
<10> worled
<10> worked
<10> one other question also...
<10> running in vmware and trying to install vmware tools .. setup does not found make ..
<11> install it then?
<11> apt-get install build-essential
<11> that should cover it ?
<10> but vmware install says it cant find make
<11> cuz ubuntu doesnt have it installed by default
<11> installing build-essential should cover all u need to compile something
<12> or without having to set a root pw you could "sudo su -"
<2> MORNING
<12> Good night
<2> bbl
<10> Alien_II yah of corse ... but its an installer .. no compiling, and after i had answeared a couple of questions its says it cant find the make command
<10> setup program is unable to find the "make" program on your machine. please make sure its installed. do you want to specify the location of this program by hand?
<2> well then
<2> open a terminal
<2> do a "whereis make"
<2> then specify it by hand
<2> it's probably /usr/bin/make
<9> whereis will only work if the local database has been updated (aka 'updatedb'), whereis uses the same database as locate
<10> clark0r when i type make i get command not found
<13> hi i wanted to try kubuntu and dual boot with xp. So when asked i told it to resize freespace. But altho kubuntu works fine i find that i can not boot into win xp anymore altho it is listed in the grub meny.
<13> says filesytem unknown
<13> partition 0x 7 or something
<13> any solution?
<2> sounds like somethign went wrong
<2> why not install gparted in ubuntu
<2> and see if it can see and recognise the xp partition for a start
<13> i can mount it
<13> and see files
<13> it says: root hd0,0 , filesystem type unknown ,partition type 0x7 ,save default ,makeaktive, chainloader +1
<13> if that helps any
<2> This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB.
<2> Be sure to check your root(x,y) settings in your grub.conf.

<14> How can i extraxt iso files?
<15> mount + copy
<14> **** i dont know
<15> lol
<16> how often is the kernal normally updated
<15> basically you just need to mount the file to a directory; mount -t iso9660 filename.iso /path.to/directory
<15> then you can use the /path.to/directory just as you would anything else
<14> iso is not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?)
<15> follow what i gave in private, forgot to put that on in here :P
<15> you need to create a dir with -p .. and then mount with -o loop as well
<15> and just umount the dir when you're done
<15> mount -o loop -t iso9660 filename.iso /path.to/directory
<17> wich program should i use to synchronize with my HP iPaQ PDA ?
