<0> What is the name of the package for openoffice 2?
<1> !ooo2
<2> To upgrade to OOo 2.0.x, see http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-October/012520.html (add one of the 'deb' lines to sources.list and update+upgrade)
<3> anyone here experienced with fstab or a link that can help me with fstab?
<4> LjL: you have reason
<1> mo0osah: what do you need to do?
<4> LjL: they are important for the computer's security
<3> my external hard drive kept mounting as readonly
<3> so i decided to edit fstab
<3> :(
<5> m0r0n: what filesystem is on the drive
<6> *g* Good plan, poor execution/
<6> ?
<5> mo0osah: I mean ^
<3> I think ntfs
<7> ignasoft: ok that is done yet?



<1> asterX_ba: yes, they are. some days a go, a guy came here, he suspected somebody was trying to attack him machine. and indeed, somebody was. he would have been quite safe (in my opinion), if only his username (which was "pete") didn't match his p***word (still "pete")
<8> it has an error
<5> mo0osah: you can't safely write to ntfs
<1> asterX_ba: that obviously resulted in him having to immediately disconnect and format his HD
<9> ubotu, tell frans freenx
<7> ignasoft: gpg error?
<5> ubotu: tell frans-th about freenx
<3> so i need to format it as fat32?
<8> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
<4> can it be possible under a router?
<8> E: Unable to lock the list directory
<6> First, mooo. Linux writing to ntfs is generally not safe without m***ive data damage
<9> ubotu: tell frans-th about oracle
<10> Ignasoft, that's a moot point.
<7> ignasoft: :(
<6> Indeed, mo0o
<4> LjL: without open ports
<8> ?
<9> ubotu: tell frans-th about clustering
<5> moonunit: how do you instend to use the drive? transfer stuff between linux and windows?
<7> ignasoft: do you have synaptic open?
<8> nope
<11> exist a channel about 3ddesktop ?
<1> mo0osah: if you dual-boot with Windows, i suggest you make a smaller FAT32 partition to exchange data between the two systems. writing to NTFS really isn't an option for the time being, unfortunately
<1> mo0osah: another possibility is using Windows programs to read your ext3 (Ubuntu) filesystem
<3> I am dual booting
<3> but i dont understand what you mean
<7> ignasoft: can you paste everything after sudo apt-get update to pastebin please
<9> ubotu: tell frans-th about cluster
<6> LjL, this is for using an external drive.
<5> ubotu: tell frans-th about msg the bot
<9> ubotu: tell frans-th about mirc
<3> how would i use the FAT32 to exchange data?
<12> LjL: hi, no - didn't work
<10> Actually, it's shh-nay-blay.
<6> Mo0o If you use the external drive with both windows and liux machines, you'll need to use fat32
<8> i did enter all commands but it has error
<1> asterX_ba: he had SSH open. with no open ports, the risks are reduced. but are you positively sure you don't have open ports, and also that you won't ever have them (perhaps by installing a program that opens a port, maybe with you not even knowing that it does)?
<12> can you write the line again what i would put in my fake init script
<7> ubotu tell mo0osah about fat32
<11> http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/cC5O0B98.html
<3> thanks
<11> someone can help me ??
<7> ignasoft: just paste all of it to pastebin please
<0> Do I have to install the idividual deb file with dpkg or can I use apt-get?
<1> Dtragcoen, mo0osah: i see. in that case, yes, i suppose i'd format the drive as FAT32
<13> tiredbones: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb
<8> but im still installing from KDE by apt-get, the command u gave a while ago
<5> tiredbones: what are you installing?
<7> tiredbones: depends on the package
<1> mo0osah: well, FAT32 is readable and writable without problems by both Windows and Linux, while NTFS isn't.
<8> KDE
<7> ignasoft: ok you have to wait until that is finished
<6> Mo0o, is your fstab still good after you attacked it?
<8> oh k
<4> LjL: I don't have any "Virtual Server" port open
<1> mandavi: i'm sorry. let me have a look at this slmodem thing
<3> i can reboot
<12> LjL: can you write the line again what i would put in my fake init script
<7> ignasoft: you can only use 1 instance of apt at a time
<0> -jason, I'm trying to install open office 2.



<8> great k
<14> Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I am having with "Synaptic"
<0> _jason, I'm trying to install open office 2.
<3> LjL: can i paste my fstab here?
<7> tiredbones: add the repo sudo apt-get update and you should have updates for it
<4> LjL: and this is just a Linux box to try this fantastic OS ... so NO personal or important data
<1> mandavi: whatever that will let you actually check if the script is starting. my suggestion was "echo >/tmp/checkscript YES, i have started"
<5> ubotu: tell tiredbones about ooo2
<1> mo0osah: no. use the pastebin please, see the topic
<12> LjL: alright
<1> asterX_ba: still, i think you shouldn't remove your p***word. on the other hand, KDM (the login screen, aka display manager, that i use) has an option to not ask for a user's p***word, if i recall correctly
<15> !opera
<2> I heard opera is not in the Ubuntu repositories, but you can always download the latest Opera .deb package from http://www.opera.com/download/ and then see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OperaBrowser
<16> hi, I am having some problems with my login manager... I get a theme error and wont let me login... how can I solve this?
<17> I'm trying to mount an iso and I got this message ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: Device or resource busy
<17> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
<1> asterX_ba: you're probably using GDM and not KDM, though, but perhaps there's a similar option there, too. check your settings, under "Login screen" or whatever Gnome calls that
<3> here is my current fstab http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d8433
<0> _jason, I tryed that site and thig are not working.
<18> I need some help
<16> hi, I am having some problems with my login manager... I get a theme error and wont let me login... how can I solve this?
<4> LjL: indeed, I am using GDM with Ubuntu 5.10
<7> Turski: a warning if you are running dapper opera does not work with it
<5> david__: just ask
<18> i just got done updating hoary to breezy
<0> gnomefreak, I did an update - still no go.
<5> ubotu: tell tiredbones about doesn't work
<4> LjL: where may I find that configuration?
<7> tiredbones: what error are you getting?
<18> i want to install a program called blender
<7> !blender
<2> blender is, like, totally, a free 3d program that can be found at http://www.blender3d.org and tutorials at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro
<18> but i dont know what to do
<16> anyone? help mee too plz?
<7> ^^^ above for blender
<18> well you can do it with apt-get
<5> david__: it is in the repositories, just install the package called 'blender'. Do you know about synaptic?
<7> !info blender
<16> hi, I am having some problems with my login manager... I get a theme error and wont let me login... how can I solve this?
<2> blender: (Very fast and versatile 3D modeller/renderer), section graphics, is optional. Version: 2.37a-1ubuntu1.1 (breezy), Packaged size: 4017 kB, Installed size: 10928 kB
<18> yes
<1> mo0osah: well, if your external hard drive is called, say, /dev/hdz, you could try adding "/dev/hdz /media/externaldrive ntfs defaults", after creating a /media/externaldrive directory
<5> david__: okay, just search for 'blender' then and install it
<7> david__: look for it in synaptic
<19> can someone link me to a good guide for getting a network between XP prof & ubuntu?
<1> mo0osah: also read ubotu's link, its instructions are much better than i would be able to tell you
<3> k thanks
<17> ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: Device or resource busy
<17> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
<17> What does this error mean when I'm trying to mount an .iso?
<14> hi my system will not let me run Synaptic, Add application or update manager
<17> ****, sorry.
<1> asterX_ba: i use KDE, i have no clue where you would find that in Gnome, except it will probably be under Settings, and Administration / Login or something
<7> ignasoft: what did apt-get update do for you?
<14> also I tried to use the Automatix but no luck there
<7> russT: one at a time
<7> !automatix
<14> aight
<5> !+automatix
<0> gnomefreak, I'm get 404 and no stat. It appears that apt-get doesn't like this command -deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/OOo2/ breezy main universe multiverse restricted
<2> automatix is probably unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'ynYn'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but trust me: the best thing to do is to read the documentation! (sooner or later you'll have to, anyway)
<18> okay i searched no luck
<1> rendo: google for "cd writing howto", the first page you will find has detailed instructions for burning CDs, and there is a parapgrah that gives you the correct syntax for loop-mounting an ISO
<18> how can i edit my source.list
<7> ubotu tell russT about automatix
<20> well, ati drivers say they don't support my architecture ...
<18> to use apt-get
<21> When ubuntu boots, my eth0 goes inactive. It did stay active but after i runned pppoeconf and created a pppoe connection it goes allways inactive.
<20> !ati
<2> somebody said ati was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=423589
<1> david__: "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list"
<17> Thank you.
<5> tiredbones: you put that in your sources.list
