Comments:
<0> i can't fix the problem because i havn't set a root p***word
<1> sudo user p***word
<2> use sudo
<3> Belkren
<4> Belkrem> set it
<5> Belkrem, to set a root p***word "sudo p***wd"
<0> cool thanks
<6> !tell Belkrem about root
<7> Belkrem: there's no root on ubuntu. setting a root p***word isn't recommended
<5> foxpaul, its needed in some cases
<3> Belkrem, sudo p***wd root
<0> well i need to get into root to fix xorg
<3> the p***word it then asks for is the one you have already set
<7> also, you can do sudo su (enter user p***word) and that'll give you a root shell
<6> Belkrem, no you don't
<7> DBO: ^^
<3> and then set the root p***word
<8> or sudo -i
<0> cool
<6> Belkrem, want to take the sudo challenge
<5> foxpaul, so will sudo -s
<5> =P
<5> I think Belkrem is ready for a test on sudo...
<8> hello DBO
<9> Madpilot: you there?
<6> Belkrem, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
<10> PwcrLinux, for a few more minutes, yes
<5> saik0, you are in audioscrobbler too... weird...
<9> :)
<11> ompaul: I seem to remember some things that one needs to set as root, not using sudo. Like settings under /proc/ and such.
<8> DBO, not going to start hugging me cross server now are you =P
<6> Belkrem, choose the video card type VESA
<12> foxpaul: please don't recommend that in here
<5> saik0, we need to save offtopic for the other server
<12> !root
<13> By default, the root p***word is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
<6> AstralJava, in 10 years of being a sysadmin I have never set something under proc thgat is where you inspect output
<5> _divan_, what system do you have?
<0> does xorgconfig not work in ubuntu
<12> Belkrem: do not 'sudo su'
<4> DBO> ubuntu 5.10 with the kernel out of the box
<6> Belkrem, why did I give you that command?
<5> _divan_, sorry, I meant hardware, namely soundcard
<14> Belkrem: dont use xorgconfig either
<14> Belkrem: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
<0> what takes the place of xorgconfig
<6> liable, where is the sudo
<4> DBO> Asus laptop with HDA Intel chip - ALC880
<11> ompaul: Well just the other day I had to help someone fix Internet connection sharing for someone, and the suggestions at wiki.ubuntu.com said you have to set ip_forwarding under /proc/. You couldn't do that with sudo.
<10> Belkrem, ompaul already told you: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
<14> ompaul: i leant it to someone about an hour ago, and havent gotten it back?
<15> "<!> It is highly recommended NOT to allow root to login graphically!" - why?
<16> back
<5> MenZa, easy to hose the system
<5> todd_, how'd it go?
<15> Ah, right.
<4> DBO> I read some about soundcard and stuff - eventually i changed ALSA drivers but it doesn't seem to go away
<16> i had to boot into gnome and make the eth0 active so now im in gnome and i did the sudo apt-get update and everythign updated
<6> AstralJava, catch this manual on iptables
<5> todd, did you do the install?
<16> i did sudo get-apt xubuntu-desktop
<5> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
<11> ompaul: Come again?
<16> yea sorry
<6> AstralJava, ip forwarding
<6> enjoy
<5> did it take it todd?
<16> it said some packages could not be installed and a bunch of files names with depends in front of them
<16> like abiword,graveman,ivman,afce4,afce4-sensors plugin
<6> If there is a wrong way to do somethings then some people will find them, just because you can cross the road when the lights are red does not mean you should
<11> ompaul: All I'm saying is that Ubuntu has instructions under it's core website that tells user to do something that requires root priviledges. I don't need this feature, so I don't really care. That particular scenario couldn't be completed without root account being enabled. I have nothing more to say on this issue.
<16> i tried going into packet manger and searching for it but it froze
<17> how can i update from breezy to dapper flight 6. is it possible to just change entries in sources.list?
<12> ubotu: tell baua about upgrade
<10> AstralJava, anyone can write stuff on the Ubuntu wiki. Sometimes what they write is less than optimal...
<11> Madpilot: Ahh... okay then, that might the reason.
<10> AstralJava, if you seen problems like that, and you know a cleaner/better way, log in and edit it yourself (please!)
<11> Madpilot: Maybe that particular page should then be looked at by someone who knows a better way, so it won't mislead people. I certainly don't. :)
<16> any ideas
<6> AstralJava, there are so many references to forward which one did you find so this can be done
<10> AstralJava, which page? I can forward it to the wiki team mailing list for someone to disect
<11> Madpilot: Hang on, I'll look for it.
<11> Madpilot: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ShareInternetConnection
<0> ubuntu doesn't like me having an onboard nvidia card and a pcie ati card both enabled so until i find the manual and a spare jumper to disable the onboard my video is going to take a hit
<10> AstralJava, noted, thanks
<11> Madpilot: Not a problem. It's good that things like this will be taken care of.
<16> any ideas???
<17> nalioth: just tell
<12> baua: look to your private messages
<10> AstralJava, upper-right corner of every wiki page has a login/signup link - please help improve the wiki if you can!
<11> Madpilot: I will, but thus far I'm not experienced/educated enough to know the better way. If/when I do, I'll jump on it, I can guarantee that. :)
<17> nalioth: sorry and thanks
<18> what version of xchat are yall using?
<11> Madpilot: That's why I've stayed in this chatroom, I can help when/where I can.
<6> see there are 647 people channel in this room
<10> 646 in a second - g'night all
<9> Madpilot: go to the pastebin to see my pasted for big cursor.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11580
<9> darn
<16> dbo???
<9> madpilot didn't response, I've been waited for him to answer.. oh well..
<6> htrp, you would get lots of answers so people would be using the versions found here http://packages.ubuntu.com/ depending on their version
<18> sorry
<19> hrm...
<18> had to
<14> why?
<6> htrp, no you did not
<12> htrp: why?
<9> [CTCP] Received a CTCP VERSION from htrp (to #ubuntu)
<18> nothing
<12> htrp: it is considered extremely rude (if not downright aggressive) to ctcp version a whole channel
<18> my fault
<18> brb
<19> I wouldn't like 647 version replies in my status window
<1> okay if I setup a mapped networked drive to my ubuntu, and I want to be able to delete it a file in there from my windows box, how do I give the windows machine permission to delete or write to the dir on the ubuntu box?
<19> :o
<20> PwcrLinux: what ?
<9> lwelyn: htrp flooded a ctcp versions..
<16> dbo???
<20> mhm. ok
<0> it's now saying xserver is disabed when i try to startx
<16> brb
<11> RabidDog__: I'm only guessing here, but might have to be world-writable.
<1> I'm not sure I understand world writable
<14> erm, more like a samba option
<1> ....
<1> okay how do I set that?
<11> RabidDog__: chmod -R o+w <directory>
<11> Oh, if it's samba we're talking about, then I won't know. Not sure about those.
<1> wow that was easy :p
<1> much nicer then my network card issues... :)
<1> thanks AstralJava
<11> RabidDog__: That worked? Nice. You're welcome. :)
<1> yep
<9> anyone know about large mouse pointer, I've installed the "Big Cursor" via synaptic manager
<0> how do i reenable xserver
<21> Patching a kernel involves recompiling it, doesn't it?
<14> tonyyarusso: yes
<21> liable: So, I've never done that, but generally learn reasonably fast - think I could handle it without too much grief?
<11> Belkrem: What's the problem? How is it disabled?
<14> tonyyarusso: yes, make-kpkg makes it fairly painless, its the config that may give you greif if you dont make an initrd.
<21> liable: All right. (Hoping wiki pages are explicit...)
<14> tonyyarusso: there is a good (albeit old) debian compile guide on osnews. very verbose compile guide (google that)
<21> liable: Okay.
<22> what's a suitable X server for old cards? i have some unknown video card on ISA on a p2 board.. i can't get X to start trying vesa and fbdev.
<6> kameron, the joys of monochrome
<22> ompaul, black and white are all you really need i suppose
<6> kameron, its all shades of grey
