<0> when it's at the ubuntu logo scree nwhere it's loading the modules and whatnot it says "PCMCIA" failed and then later, before it drops me to the command line, it says "Failed to start the X server (Your graphical user interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly." with the error message surrounded by a whole bunch of random non-english letters, such as the capital A with the circle on top of it
<1> Greetings. Can Evolution be used to read webmail like yahoo, etc?
<0> I got that after trying to upgrade Breezy to Dapper and then when I went to reboot it locked up so I had to restart the tower manually.
<2> should i just wait?

<11> geotsai, !repos
<11> !tell geotsai about repos
<11> DavidJaq, I did too, dont worry about eh PCMCIA (unless ure on a lappy)
<12> i am tryig to customize firefox to adda bookmark toolbar but no luck,i have dapper just installed
<11> DavidJaq, are you using a nvidia card?
<8> question, i still get Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
<0> Subhuman: an ancient diamond viper TNT2 card
<5> gnomefreak: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15305
<2> thanks guys
<2> imo outta here
<7> laters
<11> DavidJaq, what you need to
<7> tnx
<11> is when you get the the scrambled screen, push CTRL+ALT+F2
<0> what will that do?
<11> DavidJaq: then login, and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and follow the commands.
<13> has anyone managed to boot ubuntu off a USB stick?
<14> lol
<11> DavidJaq, it will put you into a shell so you can recover the machine, at any time in X or any system, CTRL+ALT+F1 to F6 are all terminals.
<4> _nano_: take the #away from the last 2 lines and than add the word multiverse on the lines that end with universe so it look like this : bleh bleh bleh universe multiverse
<11> geotsai, copy the official dapper source listr and try updating.
<4> _nano_: than save and close it that sudo apt-get update
<11> or geotsai use easysource
<11> !tell geotsai about easysource
<4> brb
<0> Subhuman, I'll log in either back into windows XP or linux, depending on if this works or not, and I'll update you on my status. Back in a few.
<5> gnomefreak: the last two lines are security repos ...
<15> Hm, I've got a problem with Xgl/Compiz, on Gnome and nVidia. During usage, suddenly the window-decorations disappear, and I can't change focus on the windows.
<15> I guess it could be gnome-window-decorations that's crashing, but where should I look to debug it?
<16> it is in alpha ya know daxxar
<15> Yeah, I know. But seeing there's good tutorials etc. on setting it up, I'd ***ume it was atleast slightly stable. ;P
<17> good morning
<18> hi there, I need help with new Ubuntu. I installed ubuntu but I didn't have partition for swap. Now I have. How do I tell ubuntu to use /dev/hda2 as swap?
<19> daxxar: /msg ubotu xgl
<16> frying_fish no go at all
<16> :(
<19> wezzer: swapon
<20> Hi, I ned help geting my touchpad mouse on my laptop to work with ubuntu
<17> i was able to get it to run stable but my biggest help was a large thread which i no longer have a bookmark for on ubuntufourms.org
<21> Hello all. Would this be the correct channel to ask for help on getting the correct screen resolution on a laptop? I have a dell inspiron 640m with an intel 945 graphics chipset, and I can't get a higher resolution than 640x480 :-(
<16> it seems like grub can't even detect there are two more partitions on that drive
<19> wezzer: you'll want to create an fstab entry too, ideally.
<22> !resolution
<9> it has been said that resolution is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
<10> When using the 'make install' command... what's the syntax that changes the destination of the installation ?
<18> apokryphos: ahum, so how do I use this swapon?
<10> Is it "make install DEST = /blah/blah/blah" ?
<23> hello ppl
<22> toodles, ^^ up a couple of lines to ubotu's comment
<19> wezzer: swapon /dev/hda2. Fstab entry: /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
<16> :( okay.. guess frying_fish is gone.. So anyone else willing to have a crack at this seemingly very odd grub problem?
<23> I have an external HD (well, its an internal HD with a case), and I connected it with a sata extension
<18> apokryphos: thanks! :)
<17> xxyyzz: sometimes things have a way of putting themselves in the place they need to be
<23> i.e. external sata
<21> ompaul: cheers, thanks :-)
<10> avis, this has put itself into a place I don't want it to be...
<10> So I wanna re-do the make thing...
<23> in windows I scan for plug&play hardware and it finds the HD
<17> good morning ompaul
<15> Thanks apokryphos
<10> And put it somewhere else...
<18> apokryphos: swapon: /dev/hda2: Invalid argument
<17> you can always start over again
<18> problems
<22> avis, hi
<23> but how can I do this in ubuntu? dmesg doesnt say anything about my hd
<20> Hi, I ned help geting my touchpad mouse on my laptop to work with ubuntu
<24> Hi there
<17> hello
<24> Is anyone here using Perl ?
<20> hi
<16> The problem is this. Had to manually install grub - used live cd to chroot to my ubuntu install because grub wouldn't install to the right mbr(a known issue). Did the whole install grub command.. it installed and said okay
<10> avis, if I type "make install DEST = /whatever/path/I/choose" will it work?
<14> me4living, what laptop?
<16> rebooted.. it also detected win xp..which I'm on at the moment
<20> acer aspire 3000
<16> when I try to boot into ubuntu it says no such partition
<19> wezzer: plainly "swapon /dev/hda2" with sudo, right?
<17> anyway i'm doing the xubuntu things these days but there are a number of clueless people in there at times. i build my "awesome box" today.
<18> apokryphos: yeah, and it says "swapon: /dev/hda2: Invalid argument
<18> "
<16> the main drive has 4 partitions - sdb1 to 4.
<10> Clueless people make the world go round...
<10> And I am pretty clueless, so I can't say much.
<17> apokryphos: that intizilatizes swap
<16> sdb1 - windows, sdb2 - swap, sdb3 - / and sdb4 - /boot
<19> avis: yes
<17> xxyyzz: hehe buddy have seat next to me well figure how to get XGL running on xfce ;)
<18> avis, apokryphos: should I mount /dev/hda2 /swap or something first?
<16> windows boots off of grub hd1,0.. it can see another partition hd1,1..but nothing else
<17> i dont think so
<17> to wezzer
<10> What is XGL?
<10> What is xfce?
<18> avis: ok
<16> so when I try to boot from hd1,3 (for the /boot partition) it says no such partition
<16> what gives?
<25> xxyyzz, try searching
<19> wezzer: try using that fstab entry then sudo mount -a, though I'm not convinced that would make sure you use swap. A reboot after with that definitely would though
<17> XGL is the neatest eye candy that linux has to offer involving switching workspaces.
<10> Okay, nvm, that wasn't my real question...
<14> Me4Livingdeadgir: look at your messages
<18> apokryphos: okay, thanks for your help
<26> does quake3arena comes as a package ?
<10> lucaas, if I type "make install DEST = /some/random/path" ... will it install into the path I specify?
<17> its meant to replace xorg
<23> hello?
<27> I can't get fglrx work with this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#head-5ead174a0b3294527486cd4d71ded66b40003f25 . Can somebody help me ?
<23> any ideas?
<25> xxyyzz, not, sure, never used that

<28> Hi, Im trying to install ubuntu. After restart, I cant su-login. I dont have pwd, and was also never asked to create a root pwd. Just hitting Enter wont work
<10> Okay, I am going to try it.
<10> If my whole system crashes... I will just reinstall.
<25> !root
<9> Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
<23> is hotplugging sata drives supported in linux at all?
<17> xxyyzz: not even i know that. i was so proud of myself when i compiled tin on mandrake. tin would run i believe from anywhere in my home directrory, but i think it placed its files spread across the hard drive
<29> ie24linux has done a great job telling me test web sites in IE5 and IE6 without having to keep a windows box around ... Is there also a way to run IE7 on Ubuntu?
<25> MikkelRev, read that: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo
<30> xxyyzz: you probably mean PREFIX, and you have to specify it when configuring, not when installing
