<0> CokeNCode: Can't you add "shutdown -r now" to a launcher? What happens?
<1> dgm: Get a LiveCD and run "grub-install /dev/hda"
<2> to0om: welcomed.
<3> dgm: sudo grub-install should help
<4> anyone know why the Skype gives me this ? --> *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08a133f8 ***
<5> Warbo, should be installing and configuring squid and squidguard myself. but i can't stop procrastinating =(
<6> ok, duh, I thought it was something like that
<7> Anyone know how can I can copy stuff of a CD without it saying it's Read only?
<8> viper: install the ubuntu-desktop package
<9> vinboy: i'm getting a very similar error when launching xfce4-appfinder
<6> I'm still not used to the idea of a livecd/install on the same disk
<10> orbin can that be is that 1 or several packages?
<3> but i've never tried that dgm, see man grub-install for more details
<4> invariantrob: looks like glibc problems
<1> zxc333: CDs are read only. Once you have copied the files you can change their permissions (not like Amiga where you can have read/write files independant of read/write media)
<8> viper: it's a metapackage



<11> hey can anyone who has windows on hda1 and linux on hda2 please pastebin their grub menu.lst for me please?
<8> viper: it will grab several others
<2> dgm: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, or something like that. check the ubuntu wiki and also 6.06 reviews, it's all there ;)
<3> but i think it's something like sudo grub-install /dev/hda dgm
<6> yeah it's gotta be close
<10> orbin something like apt-get install ubuntu-desktop-package?
<7> Warbo: When I click copy, and then click paste on my desktop it won't let me as it's read onlly
<9> yeah unfortunately i'm pretty clueless on how to fix it
<12> has anyone else had problems with dapper just restarting and going back to the logon screen...even if no one is at the computer...or does anyone know how to fix it?
<13> viper: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
<14> hi, anyone know how to get to telinit 3 - with no X, etc... ( I have tried Ctrl+Alt+F2 / telinit 3 ) but this does not work for me!
<8> viper: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
<7> Warbo: " Can't be copied as I don't have permissions to read it"
<0> zxc333: Is the CD in the drive? an Image iso? - if you can copy an image to your hard drive makeisof will repacxk it to iso after any changes
<1> zxc333: That would mean that your Desktop is read only. Try doing it from a terminal ("cp /media/cdrom/files ~/Desktop")
<2> danjah: you mean not booting in GUI by default?
<14> YES wildman
<10> orbin ill give it a try - thx
<2> danjah: if so, change /etc/inittab to initdefault 3
<15> warbo: Testing wined firefox and flash 8, it does seem to run well
<14> not by default, just a one off, sorry
<7> I just burnt a Cd-rw and want to get the files off it :'(
<2> danjah: euh...
<14> :)
<15> warbo: but FireFox seems to have rendering problems
<14> i want to install nvidia drivers
<1> danial: Well you have just been my guinea pig. Now I know it works I'll do it myself :)
<2> danjah: Ctrl+Alt+Fn, where 1 < n < 6, then init 3 ?
<2> danjah: ah
<14> ohh!
<15> Warbo: It is really simple, that link shown back a little bit made it really fast
<16> hello, i got a question, i try to set up a MySQL-server, but it won't work
<2> init 3 should work ;)
<6> thanks... here we go...
<7> Warbo: Didn't work, said no directory exists
<15> Warbo: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_flash_player
<16> i can't chacge the root-p***word
<14> will see you shortly!
<14> cheers
<11> !grub

<1> danial: If you install the trial version of Flash then you get a stand-alone (and not time-restricted) Flash player. I was trying to get hold of it, but Flash 8 doesn't install well in WINE (Flash MX is fine, but obviously I already have native Flash 7)
<18> I'm having trouble mounting an .img file
<1> zxc333: You need to adapt that command to your situation (you can use "ls /directoryname" to list what is in a directory)
<19> how do I take a screenshot in terminal?
<1> FlyingSquirrel32: What format is it? (filesystem)
<14> back!
<20> tubbie: import screen.jpg
<14> is there a way to kill X from init 3
<15> Warbo: Do you know any good way to switch from Linux firefox to windows, without a ton of effort?
<21> ubotu: tell tubbie about terminal
<22> is there a setting I have to change to allow other computers to send X clients to my display?
<0> zxc333: Something is wrong. If you absolutely must have the disk image file on your desktop the DD command should do it.
<18> I formatted it with fdformat /dev/fd0u1722 here's where i got it from: http://www.serverelements.com/naslite.php
<21> tubbie: read message from bot
<18> Warbo: ^^
<15> Warbo: Havent tried installing Flash (The maker).
<23> Hey, can someone give me info for that wine repo for latest version?
<24> RandolphCarter, hi, again, sorry, it didn't work. /etc/resolv.conf is back to what it's not supposed to contain, and my internet connection's lost. So, to logon to Xchat, I had to deactivate Firestarter.
<1> danial: You could make a script containing "wine firefox" and put it as /usr/local/bin/windowsfirefox" then make a launcher for it (you know how to write scripts, right?)
<7> iiiears: It's just a CD-RW I burnt, put into cd drive and the image came up on desktop...wouldn't let me copy



<22> I can forward clients to a windows machine running X-deep/32 but the same procedure returns failure to open screen on this ubuntu machine's display
<24> RandolphCarter, thanks for your help anyways :) You haven't got any other suggestions, have you?
<21> bruc: go to google.com to find info on homepage about soccor cup
<0> eugman: try winhq.com they have the latest news on wine
<1> FlyingSquirrel32: So you've tried "sudo mount filename directoryname -t vfat -o loop" yes?
<0> "winehq"
<15> Warbo: I know I could create one to launch Wined FireFox, but It would be boss to have it all within Firefox
<15> Warbo: Perhaps if I used a shortcut extension
<25> Alfred_: that's odd, the script should work fine, but there are too many variables I guess :/ disabling Firestarter is probably the best bet
<23> iiiears, but isn't there a special wine repo that you'd normally get with automatix.
<1> danial: Well I've never tried doing it, and my solutions tend to "evolve" as I do them to fix their problems
<15> warbo: This step fails "sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts" when running though that, is it just replacing the fonts to be more like MSs?
<12> has anyone else had problems with dapper just restarting and going back to the logon screen...even if no one is at the computer...or does anyone know how to fix it?
<26> Does ubuntu have Errata site for updates to dapper?
<18> Warbo: Says wrong fs type
<24> RandolphCarter, yea, mine too. I really don't need it, do I?
<15> Warbo: I kinda wanted some way to launch it to the current page I am at in firefox
<1> danial: That installs the royalty-free base windows fonts. You could do without them by linking Helvetica to Arial, etc. Just that Windows apps expect them to exist as they are the base fonts of windows
<21> !X-Chat
<17> Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, optiwin
<25> Alfred_: well, probably not really, but it is slightly more risky
<1> FlyingSquirrel32: Try "-t auto"
<0> eugman: automatix is a bash script/perl script use a text editor to peek in/
<0> ?
<27> how can i install a deb package and have all its dependencies automatically handled?
<28> does anyone know a good ssh brute force cracker? (for localhost use)
<15> Warbo: Ahh, seems that the dapper repositorys are not finding them
<24> RandolphCarter, well, how about activating the router's "DoS protection" option, would that help?
<25> Alfred_: that depends on the router, but yes. really, if you're behind a router, you're shielded from the net anyway
<29> danfg: only with apt-get, aptitude, or synaptic (i.e., the .deb must be in the repositories)
<18> ioctl: Device Busy mount: you must specify the filesystem type
<1> danial: They are in multiverse, I know that much
<13> danial: sudo dpkg -i file.deb but it wont get you the depends you would have to install them seperately
<18> Warbo: ^^
<0> eru\ikl - i don't think we use the word cracking here.
<13> danial: it all depends on what you want to install
<27> tritium: it isn't :(
<25> Alfred_: things like Firestarter are still useful if you don't trust the other Windows machines on the network though, and to block outgoing connections too
<29> danfg: which package?
<24> RandolphCarter, I am behind a Cnet router, with a firewall /DoS protection feature, which is disabled at the moment.
<27> tritium: keep***x
<18> Warbo: One sec, I'll be back in 5 min
<28> iiiears: sorry, I need it too check my ssh security
<25> Alfred_: I know nothing of this router, the manual's your best bet
<1> FlyingSquirrel32: Device busy? I'm going to have to look at this guide....
<27> tritium: a cross platform p***word manager
<21> Kaligula: Hi
<29> danfg: then I suggest you get its dependencies manually
<27> tritium: should i get its dependencies with apt-get?
<24> RandolphCarter, yea, but as most other devices, it's manual supports only Win XP, and perhaps Mac Os X if I'm lucky. Linux is just too much to hope for...
<29> danfg: if you know what they are, yes
<25> Alfred_: it's a Router, your operating system really has absolutely no bearing on it
<25> Alfred_: you can skip the parts about configuring your computer, you only need to know how to configure it
<27> tritium: thanks :)
<30> How do I select all the automatically installed packages for removal in Aptitude ?
<31> what command line tool can i use to encode raw DV to AVI?
<25> truz_`24: ffmpeg
<24> RandolphCarter, yea, but the problem I'm experiencing is connected to this Linux Ditro (Dapper). Everything works fine on my PowerBook, and on my baby brother's Win XP-machine.
<31> RandolphCarter, thanks.
<24> RandolphCarter, how to configure it, you say?
<24> RandolphCarter, hmmm....
<29> danfg: if you don't know the depends, "dpkg -f <file.deb> Depends"
<25> Alfred_: yeah, the firewall and stuff are on the actual router - it should have an HTTP interface
<24> RandolphCarter, configruing, like setting it up for the first time with username, p***words, connection type (PPPOE) etc?
<25> Alfred_: exactly, if it has firewalling and stuff, it'll be hidden somewhere in that
<12> no one else has had this problem of ubuntu restarting?
<29> not that I've heard of, TokenBad
<32> any idea howto get sound working on flash videos ?
<29> Ilokaasu: are you using an older release such as breezy?
<32> dapper kubuntu
<27> tritium: heh, it has no Depends specified in the package, but they are listed in the website, and the program won't work if installed
<12> tritium: its weird...it just goes back to the the login screen auto...don't matter what I have running or I could have nothing running and it still does it
<29> it should "just work" on dapper
<0> Ilokaasu: What version of flash are you using?
