<0> you can't until you either reset the IDE bus (very dangerous) or you reboot
<0> that's normally a hardware issue
<0> and you can just install 'ubuntu-desktop', which will pull in the necessary dependencies.
<0> how new is this hardware?
<1> everything is brand new
<1> except the graphics car
<1> d
<1> and im getting that error during reboot....
<0> so do you have an SATA HD?
<1> yes
<0> so your hda must be an ATAPI cdrom?
<0> (or dvd)
<1> yeah
<0> then you can ignore the error
<1> but i cant boot
<0> is the cdrom/dvdrom configured as master, slave, or cable-select?
<1> that i have to check
<1> what should it be
<1> master>
<1> ?
<0> it's either master or cable-select
<0> try moving it to the secondary IDE controller
<0> shouldn't matter then if it's master/slave/cable-select
<0> otherwise it's worth a bug report
<1> it was set to master
<1> im moving it now
<1> and did you just mean i can do apt-get ubuntu-desktop earlier>\
<2> well, still can't get the new kernel to boot-- having alot of VFS mount troubles, all relating to a root path (which i've set repeadely to no avail)
<2> i think its a problem with the initrd
<0> a self-compiled one, I presume from previous context?
<0> if so, did you generate an initramfs manually if you didn't compile in ('y') support for your root fs and the controller on which it resides?
<2> what does that fall under> where in the kernel config?
<2> i tried an mkinitramfs originally, because i didn't have mkinitrd (for some weird thinking reason)
<2> but yea, i checked the .config and it had BLK _RAM_FS off
<2> or commented out
<2> I'm sorry, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD
<2> was commented out in the config
<2> in terms of what you're saying, I am understanding that I may not have compiled in support for my local root FS, being EXT3 ?
<3> has anyone worked with GfxBoot?
<1> whe
<1> when trying to configure x i got the wrong setting and i only get a black screen when booting up. how do i get back into the console to fix it?
<4> tengil: ctrl+alt+f1
<1> doesnt seem to do it
<0> shizident: correct, you need that compiled in via 'y', and you need your HD controller compiled in via 'y'
<1> Mellar: nope doesnt work. i can hit ctrl alt backspace though and hear it restarting x
<3> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208855 has anyone tried this?
<4> tengil: strange
<4> I guess you tried ctrl+alt+f2 and so on as well?
<1> yes
<1> i did
<4> then I don't know what to do
<4> only I can think of, is trying to boot up with a liveCD
<4> fix the system in that way
<1> oops i succeded after ctrl alt backspace a bunch of times and x kinda messed up on me
<1> which is the correct file to change the resolution and such in?
<1> so i know im changing in the right place
<4> don't edit the file. that is quite hard
<4> try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
<1> i edited the files in other linuxes
<4> yes, but use the packagesystem to do it
<1> have to do so much else while reconfiguring xserver-xorg
<1> ok
<4> it is menu-based. goes a lot faster and easier
<4> easier to avoid mistakes
<4> tengil: how is it going?
<2> crimsun: is it possible to cat your hd controller information
<0> shizident: it would be in dmesg from a Ubuntu live cd
<2> what should i grep?
<1> Mellar: since x completely messed up im rebooting right now. i did some reconfiguring and ill see what happens
<1> thing is i put i a really **** graphics card at the moment. i will have to go buy a new one tomorrow i guess
<4> :S
<2> crimsun: out of curiousity, why from a live cd? Why not proc
<0> shizident: well if you can get it to boot, sure, it should be in /proc
<2> crimsun, any idea what I should be 'grepping' ?
<1> i dont want to buy an expensive graphics card but i need an pci express for this mobo and i want tv-out to work smoothly any ideas on what kinda card i would need?
<2> something thats supported, thats for sure!
<2> lol
<0> shizident: from lspci -v ? lspci -v |grep -i interface
<0> ->phone
<4> tengil: mandrake has a list of supported hardware
<1> shizident: and where can i find that out
<4> the same hardware should be supported by Ubuntu
<1> ok
<1> my xserver keeps crashing right now even though i set 640x480 with 4bit color
<4> tengil: you are using the right driver?
<4> i810 for intel and so on?
<4> if nothing works, try vesa
<1> its an ati mach64 i have
<4> vesa can be used on any card, but it's pretty slow
<1> not sure how many mb menory even...
<4> ok
<4> I'm going to bed
<2> Thanks crimsun , I thought I had comiled in support for Intel CH* but perhaps not
<1> but my ati card should use the ati driver shouldnt it_
<1> can debian packages be installed in ubuntu. seems like ubuntu doesnt have the vpnc package i worked with in debian...
<0> sure it does; it's in universe
<0> don't mix and match binaries for debian/ubuntu, generally. You can regenerate a binary deb from the debian source package, though.
<1> oh yeah i found out about the universe and that stuff now
<0> (yes, I saw in #ubuntu)
<5> whats the name of the c++ compiler?
<5> apt-get search c++
<6> gcc
<5> returns everything
<0> g++ is the canonical compiler.
<0> if you ``sudo apt-get install build-essential'', you'll get it.
<5> apt-get install g++ worked
<5> thanks
<7> I have a question. I've got a laptop with 80g HD, and it's partitioned as 60MB winxp, 19gigs EXT3, and 1gig SWAP, and I am installing unbuntu 6.06, and i go thru all the install screens and it gets to the end and says WARNING ALL data on all partitions will be destroyed, bla blah. But I thought you could just install it to the ext3 partition without affecting the winxp partition. I tried to just set it as being mounted on /winxp but I can't risk
<5> i just installed ubuntu on my laptop
<5> as a duel boot
<5> didn't have any problems
<7> does it sense that you have winxp installed and ask about installing grub or whatever that boot thingy is?
<5> i dont remember exactly how it worked, but it should be straight forward
<5> especially if you already have your partitions setup
<5> just set a mount point
<5> grub automatically detects the XP install and leaves that as an option
<2> guys, is it possible to a new drivers to a kernel and compile them in that way?
<2> shoot, i'm sorry-- i mean, add
<0> yes
<0> mmc_core is modular in Ubuntu kernels
<2> can you point me to a howto or direct me as to how to do that?
<7> ok **** i am going to try it
<0> well you'll need to use Edgy's kernel source, for starters.
<7> but i think i[m going to download kubuntu real quick instead of regular ubuntu
<0> x0x: same base system
<5> gross
<5> kde is lame
<0> heh, I'm using Xfce atm
<5> gnome is where its at
<7> kde is lame?
<7> really?
<5> imo
<7> do most ppl just install the regular ubuntu
<2> crimsun, if i'm using acpi, should i disable apm completely?
<2> in a kernel compilation
<2> damn, i have a million questions- lol
<0> shizident: doesn't matter; they're mutually exclusive. One will be disabled at boottime.
<2> cool, ok
<0> i.e., you may compile both of them, but only one will ever be used.
<2> and my presvious question-- is integrating new drivers more h***le than its worth? ie. easier to install serperately?
<2> ****, i'm sorry about the spelling
<7> give me 3 reasons I should NOT install kubuntu/kde and stick with plain ubuntu
<5> lol
<0> x0x: 1). 2). 3).
<5> no ****
<0> I'll also give you three reasons why you should use Kubuntu/KDE.
<0> 1). 2). 3).
<5> x0x: its a matter of personal preference, try them both
<7> i am scared as hell the ubuntu install is going to **** up my winxp partition
<2> hehe
<5> i remember my first partitioning job
Return to
#ubuntu
or
Go to some related
