<0> make a "safe mode" boot
<1> ugh, typo mania
<2> tpyo mniaa?
<1> careless messing ariund with chmod as root will mess up - this is NOT ubuntus fault but simply the result of YOUR actions
<3> kurtak: ./path/to/file
<4> Uffy: best do as the man says & reinstall
<2> uffy just use rescue mode
<5> thanks ppl, but now i have another issue, everytime i boot up my ubuntu box gets an New ip from the dhcp server.. thats kinda annoying when i add filters to reach the box from outside the ADSL lan.
<6> reinstall or reboot using CD
<1> kurtak, if you use an absolute path, do not prefix it with a .
<6> make chroot
<3> kurtak: try /path/to/file
<6> and set p*** ?
<1> Uffy, no, you f*ed up with chmod, more things will be broken
<1> reinstall is the best option
<6> ok



<7> kurtak: use the absolute path, start with / and work your way up. The . just means 'current directory'
<6> tks
<6> i come leater
<6> by
<6> :))
<4> ^Frode^: config your dhcp server to allocate a static ip
<8> ok I have a widscreen laptop and upon trying to install ubuntu it borks on loading the install and i get a black screen and thats it
<5> Frogzoo: ill check that :D thought it was ubuntu that might do something wierd.
<3> adub: what graphics card?
<8> delire sorry did not see your prior post are you still around??
<8> let me check real fast
<3> adub: lspci | grep VGA
<9> delire, _jason: ah cool, that makes sense
<3> adub: is your laptop one of those weird 1280x768 ?
<3> kurtak: sorry, typo in my first suggestion..
<8> delire yes!
<2> adub: in my HP DV1000 series I had to install a driver from source
<10> hey hey
<2> adub: It's in sourceforge IIRC
<8> yango i have an hp dv
<11> i have a question... is there a gui control panel for ACPI?
<8> dv5030us
<3> adub: does it have an ATI card?
<8> ati radeon mobility
<8> yeah
<4> Piteh: there's a gnome applet to tweak your cpu speed?
<8> xpress 200 series
<3> adub: a common problem it seems.. are you using the ATI proprietary drivers?
<3> adub: eg.. fglrx
<11> frog yes
<11> you know how ic an bring that up?
<8> well right now it still has windows cause i can not install ubuntu just yet
<12> cual es el canal del servidor de habla hispana
<4> Piteh: install pkg gnome-applets ; then 'dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets' & say yes to suid, then add cpu freq monitor applet to toolbar - left click to change speed
<13> !es
<14> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
<8> i think its a rip off how computer companies advertise something as 2.0 ghz when its 1.59 ghz in processor speed how can they do this??
<15> round up?
<8> i just actuall notice that
<2> hey, I get these weird messages in the log: atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xaa on isa0060/serio0)
<11> sweet leme try that
<2> and they don't let me check the rest of the messages
<11> :D
<8> yango did you get linux installed on the dv laptop??
<3> adub: ahah, so you haven't got that far yet.. well i haven't seen how to resolve this with the open-source "ati" driver on the widescreen machines. you are however the 6th person i've heard with this issue.
<2> adub: yes
<11> my laptop defaulted to teh 800mhz default mode
<11> 6x multiplier instead of liek 16
<13> adub, cause people like you that dont know the intricate architecture issues in cpu design need a form to "gauge" price/value ranges
<2> adub: I just installed the driver
<16> adub, if it actually says 2GHz (not 2000+ or something) and doesn't have that frequency, I would consider that deception.
<2> and then it worked like a charm
<17> chronium B.S.U works slowly in 5.10 but worked great in 5.04.. how can i speed it up?
<4> delire: is specifically the 1280x768? works fine on my 1280x800...
<13> me? i dont care i buy cheapest in a time range :)
<3> Frogzoo: seems to be. people resolve the problem by installing the fglrx driver most commonly.
<11> i have ubuntu running perfectly out of teh box on this asus z71v
<18> adub: AMD didn't want to appear so far behind in the marketing battle. so they used reference numbers relative to Intel's clock speeds



<11> just minor bugs to iron out
<17> !ati
<14> somebody said ati was at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10
<18> adub: eg: if AMD's 1.6GHz processor was about the same as Intel's 2GHz processor, the marketing guys called it a 2000+ or somesuch
<4> delire: oh right, I also find setting vga=791 in /boot/grub/menu.lst makes the boot screen more acceptible
<19> !
<14> I386: Huh? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<3> Frogzoo: yes, so i've heard..
<8> that is kinda lame though because i upgrade laptops and im using a 1.5 ghz now although this other laptop has more ram and what not it basically has the same speed procesor which is crap
<8> but anyway
<16> I'm looking for a portable music player with flash memory. It should play OGG and work with Ubuntu (i.e. as a m*** storage device). What can you recommend?
<20> Eh, what is a good first programming language?
<21> Tainted-Wolf, Python
<16> *Ogg Vorbis
<20> Dr_Willis, Any resources?
<21> Tainted-Wolf, google.com
<4> Tainted-Wolf: once you really know C, there's nothing else you can't learn
<8> i think installing linux is going to be quite hard unless if i cant get an install screen is there any parametors i can p*** to it upon booting
<22> hm.. can totem-gstreamer play video? what does it need to be installed ?
<20> Dr_Willis, Rofl, most of them pertain to win****.
<4> Tainted-Wolf: but it really depends on your objectives
<23> folks how do I install kde in ubuntu
<21> Tainted-Wolf, its out for windows also.
<20> Lol.
<16> chmod775, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
<23> ok cool and how to remove gnome desktop environment
<4> adub: you install the boot cd, boot, & then what, black screen?
<11> frog how should i go about installing those applets?
<11> apt-get?
<8> no i dont get to install i boot black screen
<20> Frogzoo, I just feel like I should be doing more with my time. I don't have any clients right now, so....I need something to do.
<24> how can I tell ubuntu to use A4 as standard paper size?
<3> Frogzoo: from memory however vga=791 forces 1024x768 and uses it with a 64K color depth.
<8> boo then black screen after i hit enter it runs through reading the hardware and what not then goes black
<5> i need some decoders and codecs for totemplayer... or any great player for divx, avi, mpeg and dvd
<4> Piteh: right click menu bar -> add to panel -> scroll down to system & hardware -> cpu freq monitor
<8> this is frustrating i so dont want to run windows on this new laptop
<11> ohh thanks :D
<11> sorry i'm totally new with this
<15> !restricted-formats
<14> landotter: No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<15> !divx
<14> restricted is probably https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats Most of the formats listed here have been replaced by !FreeFormats
<15> !FreeFormats
<14> I guess freeformats is There are a large number of Free Formats which are preferred over patent and copyright encumbered formats. They are listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeFormats
<4> Tainted-Wolf: if you want to learn to develop apps, take a look at C, for web apps Java, sysadmin perl or python
<25> espanol nicaragua
<26> hi all
<3> adub: you could try editing the boot paramaters by hitting 'e' on the kernel you'd like to boot in the grub menu. add vga=791 to the end of the line that says "kernel"..
<27> hi, what is the default Ubuntu partitioning scheme in a clean installation?
<21> or try 'vga=ask'
<4> Piteh: just one last thing - don't play with the apps preferences - the app seems to stop working if you do
<20> Frogzoo, C, or C++?
<3> adub: 'e' == edit. Dr_Willis's suggestion is also good, 'vga=ask.
<8> delire i can do all this without having linux installed at all i dont have grub installed
<11> oh ehheh
<16> chmod775, if you do 'apt-get --purge remove gnome-session' and remove the dependencies as well, that should remove most of gnome.
<11> i got teh toolbar up
<26> how can i burn some .deb's to a cd and then install in another pc with ubuntu but without internet?
<11> gow do i configure it?
<25> hola
<4> Tainted-Wolf: C++ is a superset of C, so C would be the right place to start IMO & leave the OO features for later
<28> Question: I'm using Ubuntu on a laptop.. but whenever I close the lid beep stops playing and I need to enter a p***word to start it back. Is there any way to turn this off?
<1> Celina, look in /etc/acpi
<20> Frogzoo, I can never seem to do a good search in google, (terms), do you know of any sites that focus on writing C in Ubuntu/Linux?
<3> adub: do you mean just testing with the LiveCD?
<3> adub: if so, yes.
<29> When I click on Evolution, it starts to load and then just quits. Where are there logs I can look at?
<8> no i can get knoppix 4.0 to boot
<8> i want to install ubuntu boot live cd
<8> i want to get an installation screen up for ubuntu
<3> adub: Ubuntu is a bit poor at handling laptop displays of your format. hopefully this will be ironed out. you can set these parameters also with the boot cd yes.
<16> Celina, /etc/acpi/lid.sh controls that behavior.
<3> adub: when you boot the CD you have an option to edit the boot parms.
