<0> or too many mounted file systems
<0> (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
<0> instead of some logical partition inside?)
<1> I have this wierd problem. I have 512MB flash drive. If I try to delete something it wont let me delete. I get an error saying "Creating folders is not supported with protocol trash".
<1> I am using Kubuntu
<2> spazzz, "mkdir /mnt/hdb5" then "mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb2 /mnt/hdb5"
<3> Building a server to run ubuntu at a colo- Should I install breezy or should i wait for dapper?
<0> mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/hdb5': File exists
<2> ok, forget that command
<0> same error on mount as before
<2> ok, please hold
<4> DBO: got yet another question for ya
<2> yes?
<4> DBO: i downloaded frostwire, but it is a .rpm file... says it cannot be opened
<2> you cant use rpm's on ubuntu



<4> i just formatted and installed ubuntu on hd
<2> you need /deb
<2> .deb*
<4> ok... gotta look around then huh?
<5> How do i install GDM themes from tarballs??
<6> DBO: yes you can use RPMs in ubuntu
<0> exiodus: There is a utility to convert RPM's to DEBS but i forget what its called
<7> alien
<8> alien
<4> !rpm
<9> from memory, rpm is the Redhat Package Management file. Very similar to Debians DEB files, but require alien to install. ask me about !alien
<0> YEA
<4> ah....
<6> sudo alien -iv FILENAME.rpm
<4> alien
<4> !alien
<9> hmm... alien is a program to convert RPMs to DEBs. Its use is discouraged, as it could create serious problems. Website: http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/
<10> !frostwire
<8> oops. use is discouraged.
<6> sudo apt-get install alien
<4> hm... serious problems huh?
<6> (if you don't already have it)

<4> DBO: thanks again
<4> bbiab
<10> !tell exiodus about frostwire
<11> MTecknology: Drag and drop them into the GDM "Login Window" from System->Administration
<8> because those packages are made with redhat/suse etc in mind and probably install into diff directories, or ***ume different things
<2> !tell CNAP about alien
<12> why is alien needed?
<0> DBO: Any other thoughts?
<2> yes... Im confused... are you sure you didnt format the wrong drive...?
<0> If I use the recovery tool on the Ubuntu Installation CD it calls the dumb thing /dev/ubuntu/home

<2> Phlosten, yes they are, but I was just responding to the rpm issue

<12> eternex, i am going to be installing it again in about 45 mins, just reinstalling breezy atm and waiting for updates
<5> I downloaded a GDM theme from gnome-look.org, it's a tar.gx file, how do I install it?
<0> DBO: This sounds framiliar http://lowfi.org/
<12> eternex, what are you trying to run under wine?

<2> spazzz, are you running RAID?
<0> No
<2> LVM is for RAID mostly...
<0> 2 IDE drives
<12> eternex, if wine is installed correctly you should be able to just run the install binary
<4> trying to run alien using alien -d (filename)
<15> where would i find that?
<12> eternex, ie, if the file you want is on the desktop, just double click it
<5> slew, yep
<0> DBO: True but... I think the dumb partioner asked me if I wanted to use it when i installed Ubuntu and it said "recommended" so i just let it go
<15> ty ill try that
<2> spazzz, "fsck -r /dev/hdb2"
<17> MTecknology, cool, just open gnome-art and you should be able to browse for the file and it will install for you
<0> fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/hdb2
<0> Could this be a zero-length partition?
<12> eternex, if whatever you are trying to run doesnt work, you can try running 'winecfg' from a terminal, that will give you some extra setup options

<2> spazzz, "fsck -r /dev/hdb5"
<15> k
<0> ouldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks...
<0> fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hdb5
<0> The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
<0> filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
<0> filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
<0> is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
<0> e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
<5> slew, does gnome-art pull it off the net?
<2> spazzz, I should have said something earlier, but you are not supposed to paste in here
<15> eternex@ubuntu:~$ winecfg
<15> bash: winecfg: command not found
<15> eternex@ubuntu:~$
