Comments:
<0> twilightf: i don't know... i guess it's even possible there isn't any package that holds all the ubuntu gnome install defaults...
<1> oneseventeen_: "xwin" and one sec let me find the other key word
<2> nickgarvey: do you need X installed on the server? Or just on the windows box?
<1> "xdmcp"
<3> twilightf, "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
<4> ahhh
<0> ah cool
<1> oneseventeen_: I need to start gdm on the server for it to work
<1> oneseventeen_: I use ssh to start it when I need it
<1> kill it when I am done
<3> dashriKe, try a server install (you remember seeing that option at the VERY first step?)
<5> yes
<6> twilightf, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop should do it
<2> nickgarvey: cool, thanks for sharing, I'll definitely be playing with that at work.
<1> oneseventeen_: :) fun stuff
<4> yep thanks i just got it running ;-)
<7> Is anyone here familiar with minicom? Only one user on my system can use it for some reason. I tried adding another to the admin group but that didn't seem to help. What is necessary for a person to be able to use minicom? It tells him he is not authorized to access /dev/ttyS0
<1> I don't know what ports or anything it uses though, its always been LAN for me
<4> wow 1st time i've been in here and my problem was fixed in 5 mins. i think i'll be back again ;-)
<6> StarKruzr, you can add the minicom user to the dialout group
<7> aha.
<8> tonyyarusso: in the terminal, it shows a lot of "/dev/hdb read only file system" errors
<1> oneseventeen_: it uses UDP thats why!
<6> I use it to acces my server with no screen and no gfx card
<9> StarKruzr, do an 'ls -al /dev/ttyS[0,1,2,3] and look at the rwx bits
<10> hello everyone
<7> how does one do that? Because I tried to add someone to a group and I don't think I did it right. I can't figure out how to get a listing of who is in what group either.
<5> what does setting it up as a server do differently?
<11> Suspect: Maybe you just have to change how it's mounted then... See !mount ? But you don't resize mounted things, so I'm not sure...
<12> Does anyone know of a PCI wireless network card I can buy from say Best Buy that will work 100% out of the box with Ubuntu? [meaning, no ndisdrivers and junk]
<3> dashriKe, doesnt install the GUI and (i believe) has slightly less robust hardware support
<3> dashriKe, once we get a base install though, I can walk you through getting the GUI setup
<5> k
<4> LOL @ DBO (thats what we just did)
<6> StarKruzr, once you added the user to the dialout group, he/she has to logout/login agin to gain the new rights for that group
<3> twilightf, you mean with dashriKe?
<4> ya
<4> well
<7> leagris: that's not a problem, he's not logged in
<4> i mean installing a server then adding the GUI to it
<3> twilightf, oh, yeah, ok, I made the connection now
<7> but what I'm asking is, what's the command? and how do I get a listing of what groups a user is in?
<10> Just installed Ubunto and new to linux, it says I have 71 updates but I get an erroe message - Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic --upgrade-mode --non-interactive --hide-main-window as user root:
<10> Child terminated with 1 status
<13> My god, nothing is working. I've flashed my bios, I've made sure that it boots to me cd-rom drive, I've deleted the nvram, I went to factory defaults -- everything -- but it just REFUSES to boot to my install cd. Is there anything else I can try? :/
<4> hahaha
<14> StarKruzr, 'groups"- try "man groups"
<12> man, I'm telling you, we should have: Ubuntu approved hardware
<7> Madpilot: excellent, thank yuo
<3> Chu, does it boot a live disk?
<9> StarKruzr, look at the result of the command above and see who's in the file's group. get the group name, search for it in /etc/group, and add the user's name to that group
<7> you
<12> I'd pay 20% over normal pricing if I knew something would just work with freaking Ubuntu
<12> :(
<13> DBO: I haven't tried.
<3> Chu, try that please
<13> Okay, I'll try. And if it does boot to it ... ?
<3> Chu, then its not ubuntus fault?
<12> !wireless
<15> I heard wireless is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards if it does not work out of the box https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper windows drivers
<3> Chu, we will have to look at your hardware
<14> Trae, was about to give you that bot tell - check the 1st URL out
<13> I'll be back soon. :/
<3> Chu, misread, thought you said "doesnt boot"
<3> oops, hes gone...
<12> Madpilot, yeah, I've looked at these links till I"m blue in the face
<5> just curious, others suggested setting up my 13GB hdd as 6GB /, 6GB /home, and 1GB swap, that sound ok?
<6> tkup, yep tha'ts what i do but StarKruzr should know that the group file modifiation/editing is not a proper way of modifying group/users. It mostly is all you need to do on a plain desktop ubuntu but not with other type of authentification media
<7> tkup: that did it, thanks :)
<16> dashriKe, yeah, sounds fine.
<12> Madpilot, I just want someone to say: "Yeah, I went to Best Buy, and bought THIS MODEL card and it just 100% worked out of the box"
<17> does anyone know if matrox has good linux drivers??
<18> hi friends
<19> dashriKe: i def like having lots of space for home dir on seperate partition
<16> theripper, as in the hard drive company?
<18> I have a question
<14> Trae, have you checked ubuntuforums.org yet?
<3> cartesian1984, he means the video cards
<12> :/
<17> no matrox not maxtor
<12> Madpilot, I probably have
<14> david1980, we might have answers - if you ask your question first, of course ;)
<20> yo
<18> it's my screen
<3> cartesian1984, they make the savage series (S3 integrated graphics)
<4> thanks leagris and DBO i'm now setting up my xserver!!!
<6> I have all the questions to your answers if you like ;D
<3> leagris, 42
<20> iam new to this
<2> gotta run, talk to you guys later
<2> nickgarvey: thanks for the help!
<16> dashrike, I understand those have issues, at least the savage line.
<18> appears crazy lines sometimes
<21> when im in the system monitor and right click on a process and click kill what is that doing exactly?
<6> DBO that's it ;D
<1> you're welcome
<17> i was thinking about buing the chrome video card if they have good linux drivers
<5> cartesian1984 :: what?
<3> theripper, they should work, but Im not sure about how well
<9> leagris, what other types of "authentification media"? could you elaborate on that?
<16> dashriKe, oh......whoops....wrong fellow.
<5> k, I was confused :P
<16> I am not having a good day...
<16> At least for tech support.
<6> tkup, like ldap or any other pam plugins involving anything not related to shadow, users, group files
<10> Just installed Ubunto and new to linux, it says I have 71 updates but I get an erroe message - Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic --upgrade-mode --non-interactive --hide-main-window as user root:
<3> cartesian1984, thats ok, one day I spent 15 minutes tech supporting apt-get because I forgot to do an update... DOH!
<21> because i need to use kill to do the same thing that the system monitor does
<13> No, DBO, it doesn't like to boot to anything aside from the hard drive. :/
<1> hrh166: did it say why it failed? did it prompt you for a p***word?
<19> Chu: can you boot from floppy? you could do debian floppy install then dist-upgrade to ubuntu
<13> I don't have a floppy drive. :/
<10> P***word.. yes
<21> can anybody help me with the kill command?
<19> Killgore: ?
<21> dyrne: i need to kill a process the same way that the system monitor does
<10> when I did..error message
<3> Chu, have you checked your boot device priority in BIOS?
<13> Yes, I changed it accordingly.
<16> hrh166, do you have synaptic open?
<14> hrh166, you used your own user p***word when it asked for one?
<21> dyrne: any ideas?
<19> Killgore: sorry about as fancy as i get with kill is kill -9 pid
<10> Yes
<3> Chu, does your cd rom drive work when you boot into whatever OS you normally use?
<9> leagris, are you suggesting that he should modify those parameters through systems commands (ex: usermod)?
<13> Yes.
<21> dyrne: ok then
<16> hrh166, close it. It locks the apt directory so you cant update.
<3> Chu, it is an IDE drive correct?
<22> hi every one
<13> Yes.
<10> Close what?
<1> hrh166: synaptic
<10> How?
<3> Chu, you got me stumped... try turning off your PC unplugging the hard drive (if you are comfy working in your case) and then booting with the live disk in your CD tray...
<14> hrh166, do you have any other apps running when you try the Update thing?
<1> Chu: how did you burn the ISO?
<13> I got it through the Ubuntu shipit program.
<10> I only have Mozilla running..that I can see.
<3> nickgarvey, his live disc doesnt even boot
<1> DBO: I was making sure he didn't burn it as data
<3> nickgarvey, I know =P
<1> Chu: yeah its most likely a bios thing, do what DBO said if you are comfortable
<14> hrh166, OK, then the Update Manager should work... not sure why it didn't
<6> DBO, common trouble where you just intended to install only one new package and it draw several updates with it
<6> the way you expected to quickly get that missing tool installed to get a job done and you spend some time updating and working on the system side instead ;)
