<0> I am having trouble getting my wi-fi to work on kubuntu, any ideas
<1> anyone know what i'll have to do in order to install ubuntu in on a win partition drive
<1> i wanna keep my windows still
<0> wtf is this chat for if no one is here
<0> lol
<2> I guess we have to drop everything to answer AnotherDa's question
<2> I will keep that in mind next time
<3> reyezzo which windows?
<3> i recently installed ubuntu fine id just booted from the live cd and then did an install on the same drive as xp, and all went well after its done u reboot and choose from the grub menu
<3> ubuntu makes itself a partition for ya
<4> anyone here ?
<5> lo :)
<4> :)
<4> http://pastebin.ca/85404
<4> I have 2 kernel images in my system
<4> 386 and 686
<4> apt always downloads both of them
<4> i'm running the 686 kernel right now
<4> any ideas on how to prevent apt from doing so ?
<4> ok this is the second time I come for help here and you guys are just idling
<6> Al-Ashtar, lol, had that happen too me today
<4> :)
<4> take care
<6> it rebooted me to 386 kernel and vmplayer blew up
<6> he left without waiting for answer
<7> hi
<7> do i gotta format a partition to Ext3 first before installing ubuntu as a 2nd OS on a currently windows only laptop
<7> to end up with a dual boot system
<7> whoops too late partition magic rebooted and is now applying changes
<7> i wondered if maybe ubuntu woulda asked me when i installed
<7> and partitioned/formatted it for me
<8> it would ask u if it should use free space, and then resize and install. so no need to format in advance
<7> oh well but it shouldnt hurt if i do right? i can just install on that drive then
<7> thanks
<9> Hi guys. I'd like to connect to my fedora box at work from my ubuntu box at home. I can SSH but I want to actually see the desktop, I want the GUI to work
<9> Can someone help me?
<7> VNC
<7> or rdesktop ?
<7> vnc should work get the server put it on ur fedora box and install the client on your ubuntu box at home
<7> pow
<9> Fedora looks like it has built in remote desktop functionality, I was hoping not to have to install anything on the host machine
<10> can fedora act as a remote desktop server or just the client
<7> damn now that i partitioned 20 GB off i dont understand how to instal ubuntu, it wants me to have 2 seperate partitions, one for swap file
<7> and the automatic method wont do anything to my ext3 partition, just wants to resize my windows drive only
<10> you should just set it up manually
<7> as in how?
<7> i tried, i partitioned off 20 GB of my 80GB c: drive, with partition magic, as an ext3 fs
<10> delete the existing ext3 and make a new one leaving a gb or 2 for swap
<7> oh okay
<7> that was my next step
<7> shrink down this 20GB to 18 GB and then make a 2GB swap partition
<7> nice
<7> think i'll ghost this laptop first just in case i hose it :)
<10> i never used partition magic so im not sure about the details but the ubuntu installer should let you do all that crap too
<10> except maybe resizing. but you can delete and add partitions.
<10> but yeah, having a swap partition instead of a swap file usually works out better for performance because all the swap data is located close together and not all spread out fragmented amongst your other data
<7> ya it'll be at the end of the disk though
<7> that might not be good
<10> have you installed linux before
<7> its right after the 50GB c: windows drive, then 18 GB ext3 linux, then i just created a "linux swap" that was an option in part. magic
<7> yes but not dual boot
<10> if it doesnt do it automatically (im not sure) and if you dont already know, make sure you set the mount point for your ext3 partition to /
<10> i know when you use their partitioner it does that but im not sure how it handles existing partitions
<7> right
<7> and set the other small one to swap
<7> what are all these other /*stuff
<10> the which?
<7> cant remember them now
<7> /<something>/hd1
<7> /<something>/hd15
<7> hd5 even
<10> those are other partitions liek your windows drives
<10> like
<7> etc, where u can select the 3 mount points, as "/" and swap etc
<7> oh okay
<10> if it's like /dev/hda1 then /dev is just short for device, hd is hard disk, "a" refers to the first hard drive and 1 is the first partition on it. that's probably what your windows partition is. /dev/hda1
<10> and i believe ubuntu will mount your windows drives into /media automatically
<11> .server
<1> what the heck
<1> does .server do
<1> .server
<12> whats wrong with dappers repositories, i just reinstalled dapper and i am unable to connect to multiple sources even when i change it from say us to se
<12> test

<13> is there a specific utility i can use to install new programs in xubuntu?
<14> what does universe mean?
<15> everything

<14> soop how can i install universe packages
<18> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
<18> read it omio
<15> see above omio
<19> hello.
<19> ok.
<16> why can't i "make" in ubuntu? i need to "make -f Makefile.gtk" to install PuTTY but it says comand not found
<18> apt-get install build-essential
<18> as for 'why', it's primarily due to the unbuntu default install not being bundled with development packages, which incorporates 'make' and other development commands such as 'gcc' and various library files (not compiled, but open) needed for compiling programs
<18> this is because ubuntu is seen as a desktop GUI point-and-click environment, if you want to delve deeper and use such commands, then you need to expand your systems capabilities somewhat

<20> hey guys.. what does it mean when you say "cutting edge"
<18> cutting edge means it's the newest release of the said area
<20> ferro...ah.ok.does it mean..good or bad for your system?
<18> that depends on what your system is used for
<20> ferro..ah..i get it..thanks..
<20> hi guys...i have a dell latitude d520 and it has intel centrino duo with 945 chipset. is intel centrino duo considered as SMP?even i have a single processor chip but its a dual core..
<18> i know the 2.6 kernel bundled with dapper drake supports centrino duo, i'm not sure whether it's considered SMP though.... it probably isn't, but like I said, I can't be certain without some googling
<20> thanks ferro..
<20> i'll take your advice
<18> wait
<18> it is SMP
<20> nice try..thanks
<18> np
<2> Morning ferro
<18> evening
<21> Hi!
<21> Is it someone who know where to download Ubuntu 6.06 as a live cd?
<21> I has only found the "normal" .iso's
<21> Thanks :)
<22> hello
<1> ello all
<1> think it would be practical if i just straiught out converted my entire system to ubuntu
<1> without having much experience with it yet
<23> Depends on what your use your computer for
<1> well, not much gaming at alll
<1> web research..
<1> applications such as word, excel..
<1> probably more advanced ones
<1> like quark, maybe photoshop..
<23> If you all you use it for is Office, web, chat, and email then you should be ok
<23> But there's no Quark or Photoshop replacement in Linux
<1> right
<1> ah yep
<23> And emulating them is less than ideal. I've tried it :-/
<1> heh ok
<1> alright, so then...
<23> And as much as anyone would have you believe, GIMP is no replacement for Photoshop
<1> while i'm in install..
<1> yeah
<1> and it comes to the point where you're selecting the space you want to install ubuntu on..
<1> well, i was installing kubuntu..
<1> should be the same thing i take it
<1> i was going to go for a dual boot option
Return to
#ubuntu
or
