Comments:
<0> gnomefreak: some time the dots are green..sometime black...
<1> _nano_: is the bottom like pixilated?
<2> so im trying to add repositories
<2> but i dont see any Dapper updates in the repository list
<2> from Badger
<3> is there a special key so I can go back to my ubuntu desktop after a full screen remote desktop session ?
<4> Yeah, so? M$ 's got more raw marketing power [read: more lobbyists for bribing policymakers in sauna, mor vodka, and more money] than any Linux developer, mention say, IBM
<5> snoops: maybe try lilo?
<1> snoops: are you sure everything is set up right in grub?
<6> I've tried upgrading Breezy to Dapper twice now from within Breezy and both times it's screwed up for me... is there any way for me to just start a fresh install of Dapper from within Breezy? My computer won't boot from CD, despite the BIOS being set up properly
<7> Just change breezy to dapper..and thats dapper repo..
<8> i just looked at ecomstation. i'd rather be running xfce ;)
<1> snoops: sounds like your root partition is being look for somewhere else
<0> gnomefreak: no..it's like a layer of random dots over the button..
<4> Enlightenment!Enlightenment!
<9> casanova_, enlightenment is AWESOME! ;)
<1> _nano_: im not sure i would have to see it
<7> I used e16 and I didn't really like it, is e17 a lot better?
<10> the / partition shows up as sdb3 and /boot shows up as sdb4..xp shows up as sdb1 in ubuntu live cd
<11> Is it possible to get back the screensaver that have been deleted by Ubuntu team?
<0> gnomefreak: i know ...but the screenshots don't capture it :(
<12> I can't make fglrx work, did it like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#head-5ead174a0b3294527486cd4d71ded66b40003f25 said, but fglrxinfo says I have Mesa ?
<13> m_0_r_0_n: try the KDE or Gnome websites?
<4> trust a guy who's coding with spanish red wine and smoked trout
<1> _nano_: does it happen all the time?
<10> why would the grub think the root partition was anywhere else
<14> Help help. I upgraded to Dapper and now my laptop doesn't see the ethernet card. "eth0" no longer exists.
<15> Hey does anyone know if its possible to open something from a shell into a different display for the same user?
<0> gnomefreak: another way of putting it would be "haze over the buttons"...
<0> gnomefreak: yea
<1> m_0_r_0_n: you mean xscreensaver?
<16> Hawkins: have you checked that the fglrx kernel module is loaded? 'lsmod | grep fglrx'
<1> _nano_: try changing you theme
<6> I've tried upgrading Breezy to Dapper twice now from within Breezy and both times it's screwed up for me... is there any way for me to just start a fresh install of Dapper from within Breezy? My computer won't boot from CD, despite the BIOS being set up properly
<0> gnomefreak: k
<8> my first linux distro was redhat 6.2. i was enthralled with an operating systems that boasted such things as Gnomes and Enlightenment. it was like -- mystical journey intot techhood,. never could figure out what all packages i needed at the time :)
<17> Hajuu: i think so, but i'm not sure i understand what you want
<14> Is there a way to run the hardware configuration again? My "eth0" disappeared after I upgraded to Dapper.
<5> Hajuu: most X apps accept 'display' option
<12> ccooke , no fglrx listed there
<17> Hajuu: where is this other display?
<15> bobstro: well my distro is poorly upgraded from hoary to breezy right now... just want to take a break and play a game in wine, but somethings broken so I cant open terminals through gdm right now
<0> gnomefreak: wow..changing the theme worked!
<11> gnomefreak, System -> Preferences -> Screensaver
<1> ;)
<0> gnomefreak: it happens only on the 'human' theme...
<15> so I just need to open it from a console
<18> can anyone give me an idea of the differences between dapper cd and dvd? I know it has more 'packages' but what kindof packages?
<16> Hawkins: Right. 'sudo gedit /etc/modules' - add fglrx to that
<0> gnomefreak: you have been a great help...thanks a lot man!
<1> m_0_r_0_n: its there for me ubuntu shouldnt have tremoved it
<5> Hajuu: or you can set the DISPLAY environment variable
<17> Hajuu: gdm? are you trying to open display on another machine?
<6> I've tried upgrading Breezy to Dapper twice now from within Breezy and both times it's screwed up for me... is there any way for me to just start a fresh install of Dapper from within Breezy? My computer won't boot from CD, despite the BIOS being set up properly
<7> DavidJaq: Stop spamming
<15> TheSheep: sure how would I do that so it opens in the display that opens on my f7 key
<5> echostorm: with cd when you want to install something in addition, it will fetch it form net
<15> not sure what number that is
<11> I want back my apple2 screensaver !
<12> ccooke , done, CTRL + ALT + backspace to restart X ?
<16> Hawkins: That'll make sure it's loaded next reboot. To load it *this* time only, do: 'sudo modprobe fglrx' and hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill your X server - it may take a minute or so to reload.
<8> echostorm, there are likely to be more packages that aren't outdated on the dvd or its a dual set of live and install or something. if its the first scenario then alot of packges get replaced anyway, eventually.
<15> bobstro: nothing so fancy
<15> lol
<12> ccooke , roger
<5> Hajuu: export DISPLAY=':7' or somethng like that
<17> Hajuu: echo $DISPLAY will show you your current display if that's what you want
<6> keegan_: I didn't know reasking my problem after several new people had logged on and my question was already off the screen was spamming
<12> ccooke , modproble gave me FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/volatile/fglrx.ko): Operation not permitted
<18> thanx thesheep i remember it doing that. cool that made things clear.
<16> Hawkins: did you run it with sudo?
<15> echo $DISPLAY comes out blank?
<12> Yes, but it didn't ask p***word
<19> hello, I can't seem to change to the terminals via ctrl-alt-f* anymore after logging in to gnome (seems to have been like this ever since upgrading to dapper)
<19> any idea how to fix this?
<17> Hajuu: it should get set, but you could set it manually as TheSheep said
<20> hello,,, udev is causing me problems when i try to boot kubuntu from a diskless terminal, it gives: nfs: RPC remote call returned error 101... while loading
<21> DavidJaq: make sure the package "ubuntu-desktop" is installed, remove packages you do not need, and update the breezy system before doing a dist-upgrade to dapper.
<16> Hawkins: Try: 'sudo -s' to get a root prompt, then modprobe fglrx
<15> bobstro: so what number display would it be on my F7 key? I have no idea.
<22> launchpad.net is officially down.
<17> Hajuu: are you the same user in the terminal? are you trying to run that program as the same user you logged in as?
<6> Jowi, you are talking to a complete newbie. I have no idea what ubuntu-desktop is or how I would install it
<17> Hajuu: sorry, no idea what you mean by f7 key.
<15> bobstro yes on both questions
<15> ...
<12> ccooke , got into root, but still giving same error
<15> on the keyboard
<23> rixth, ehh I am getting Welcome to the Launchpad
<15> theres a button labled f7
<17> Hajuu: well, i know it's a key but i don't see how it relates!
<21> DavidJaq: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" will tell you if it is already installed, otherwise it will be downloaded and installed automatically
<17> Hajuu: oooh, there's an f10 too! cool! :)
<24> hey guys, how could i cut off the end of a file? say at n bytes?
<23> rixth, you have fallen off some part of the internet
<15> Well when I press ctrl+alt+f7, thats the display I want to open it on
<21> DavidJaq: did you follow the dapper upgrade wiki?
<6> jowi, should I reinstall Breezy before I do that?
<25> Is anyone aware of a good web-based email service that's open source? I found Cryptomail and Roundcube. Cryptomail does offer free accounts, but the speed and the interface is terrible. Roundcube is AJAX based, looks to be slick, but doesn't offer accounts. Is anyone aware of other options?
<8> DavidJaq: i've opted for the apt-get install gnome before so that is probably a more viable solution. when i lost it.
<23> DavidJaq, if it is all you have yes, and then straight away before you customise anything upgrade
<17> Hajuu: ah... well you can do the 'log in as another user' to keep both active and toggle between if that's what you want.
<21> DavidJaq: didn't you say the pc doens't have a cdrom?
<8> gnome-desktop is
<17> Hajuu: sorry, still not fully grasping exactly what you're after.
<13> roundcube is for your own server IIRC
<6> I was pointed to a wiki, Jowi, that told me to edit my sources list and type a command that downloaded a whole bunch of stuff and then installed it... I tried to reboot afterwards and it locked up so I had to power off the tower and power it back on, now it's all broken
<26> Hello. I need to run some custom commands at startup, what file do I need to add it to? The commands is 3 sshfs mounts, I've made p***wordless login to the SSH server (with keys) so no need for input.
<25> Faileas: Yes. I don't have a server though :)
<23> DavidJaq, does it boot?>
<15> lol ok bobstro .. my problem is, Im only half upgraded from hoary to breezy, just want to play some games in wine.. but I lack the ability to spawn terminal windows in my display manager for some reason due to being half upgraded... So if I cant open a terminal, how am I meant to run wine :)
<27> mbm1980: try the bum (package|program, can't remember)
<26> poje, okay thanks
<27> mbm1980: I think that is relevant
<16> Hawkins: Okay. Try rebooting - it's just possible it's an ordering problem.
<17> Hajuu: ah, ok. i think you need to fix your system. :)
<28> how to i upgrade from ubuntu amd64 dapper beta to full release dapper version?
<21> DavidJaq: then i would go with what ompaul suggested earlier. re-install breezy, then upgrade it before making any custom changes
<8> DavidJaq: that is very odd for a wiki to instruct you as such considering the operating system pretty much take care of itself if you admin it properly.
<11> I ve installed two screensavers, but there are not listed in the screensaver list? Where can I find them?
<12> ccooke , rebooting X or the system ?
<16> Hawkins: the system.
<6> It goes to the Ubuntu logo where it says a bunch of stuff and '[OK]', then when it tries to start X Server it says that it's failed and then drops me to a command line. I've tried reconfiguring the x server thingy like someone else said, but it didn't work
<15> bobstro: Got the rest of the updates downloading.. but they are going to be HOURS and im bored
<29> DanglyBits: just don't change your sources.list...
<6> How would I uninstall Ubuntu?
<17> Hajuu: sorry. you could set display manually like shown before. that might work.
<12> ccooke , understood booting
<8> DavidJaq: next time that happens apt-get install irssi and come here :)
<28> how to i upgrade from ubuntu amd64 dapper beta to full release dapper version?
<6> avis: what do you mean?
<30> DavidJaq: If you have a windows install CD, boot from it and clear the partitions ubuntu is currently on
<21> DavidJaq: you don't need to uninstall it before reinstalling it.
<6> I can reboot right now and get dropped the command line... you want me to do that and apt-get install irssi?
<30> then go in on the ubuntu liveCD and install it again
<6> I can't boot from cd, Tobberoth
<30> Oh
<27> mbm1980: /etc/init.d is the file that lists scripts to be run at startup - learn a bit about making a script (pretty easy :)) and make a script
<30> Then I don't know how to reinstall it :(
<21> DavidJaq: if you can, try to run "apt-get dist-upgrade" again
<26> poje, okay ;)
<31> hi guys...
<31> is there a gvim package?
<31> how come I can't find it?
<6> Ok, Jowi, I'm going to try that. Back in a bit.
<27> mbm1980: actually I'm a bit wrong, I'd just suggest googling about running commands on startup ;(
<11> Do I have to restart Linux to get the new installed screensavers listed?
<4> what do you do when you're single and nerdy and having a free day?
<21> casanova_: install dapper :)
<23> install ubuntu source and hack some new code
