<0> hi*
<1> Scorpmoon: That's why I suggested a seperate / and /home partition. You can swap distros without any h***le :)
<2> Scorpmoon, in that case, make your /home a separate partiton, so the backup is jus a simple copy the partion, and reinstalling the OS wont affectr that partion.
<3> yes, I'm following the instructions from the wiki
<3> I can see openoffice being upgraded, but not KDE
<4> akudewan: are you sure you followed them exactly, if you're doing a dist-upgrade?
<4> akudewan: my bet is you didn't :). Are you making sure that you have the necessary metapackages installed FIRST?
<5> anybody knows something about sop? ( TV P2P )
<6> Gistybit: you maybe able to. It will not be easy to. There are utilities that I've used in the past to both (a) reconstruct the partition table and (b) undelete ext2 data
<7> okay... except I thought I could just use a seperate partition for files, and not depend on using /home for my own files
<6> Gistybit: I've also done evilness like just searching the raw contents of the disk
<8> Scorpmoon: /home/youruser is for your files
<9> Scorpmoon: would those files be owned or used by anyone but yourself? If not, then why would you put them anywhere besides your homedir?!
<8> Scorpmoon: you can make /home a separate partition (manually)
<7> I want /home to be on another physical harddisk... but I don't have this disk ready yet.. can I install just / and swap, and then mount /home on a seperate partition later?
<4> Scorpmoon: yup, exactly.
<10> sladen: okay. can you give me the names of the utilities to do (a) and (b) (b) only if not covered in the guide you linked to)
<4> Scorpmoon: very easy to do, too; just need to edit your fstab and copy the files over.
<3> apokryphos: yes, I have installed ubuntu-desktop, I have changed the repository as specified, I have checked the md5sum of the "alternate" iso that I downloaded, I have added the cdrom to the repository, I have mounted the iso, and now I'm doing a dist-upgrade.
<11> does anybody know lots about software raid? Lord_Pall, u still there?
<5> i'm trying to watch tv p2p with sopgui.. with ubuntu dapper
<4> akudewan: but have you got kubuntu-desktop installed, as well?
<6> Gistybit: apt-cache search undelete
<4> akudewan: if you have KDE installed, you need it.
<3> apokryphos: I see, I'll do that
<7> thx
<1> sladen: A guy in here recovered his data with that evilness a couple of days ago :)
<4> akudewan: you'll need to change your sources.list back to make sure it doesn't try to get the dapper kubuntu-desktop
<3> allright, I have an old copy. thanks :)
<6> Gistybit: try 'gpart' for guessing the partition table
<6> neutrinom***: it's definately worth doing if that's the only way
<12> hey ....if install Ubuntu (gnome) can I change to KDE without any troubles latter ?
<6> Gistybit: and maybe 'testdisk'
<4> rigonatti: yup, see FAQ
<1> sladen: AFAIK it's the best shot you've got with ext3 ... ext2 could do undelete I think, but not ext3 :(
<6> Gistybit: ( apt-get cache search partition | grep -i partition)
<6> neutrinom***: correct; ext3 journaling works by zero'ing the data that ext2 undelete looks for
<10> sladen: okay.. thx a bunch :)
<13> In Alternative CD - what is the difference between txt mode and OEM mode?
<8> sladen: did you mean apt-cache search ?
<14> i get this error trying to start skype on x86_64 : ./skype: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
<8> sladen: the other one will just spit out an error :)
<14> where is it looking for the libGL.so.1 ?
<15> oh hi sladen
<6> TigerWolf: OEM mode for installing 100's of identical machines. It's a two stage install where you do the install, customise it, make lots of copies of the hard-disk image; On first boot, the user will then be asked for their account name, machine name---eg. all the 'individual' data
<6> kandinski: hi there
<6> kandinski: aahhh, it's a Javier!
<16> Hey :)
<17> oh wait
<17> it's cuz i'm doing it wrong. Scratch that
<18> What's the easiest way to create a chrooted (OpenSSH) SFTP user?
<6> Sharcho: set their shell to 'rssh'
<19> great I managed to change it after all ! :P hello guys. glad to be in the same spot
<13> sladen: I have only used the live CD GUI install - is text mode easy to do? Is there a guide?
<6> Sharcho: or to 'scponly'
<2> TigerWolf, the text install is very easy
<2> as easy as the gui isntall
<13> ty
<20> hi guys! how can i write to my fat32 usb mobile disk? when it is mounted it is read only...
<21> AAA!!
<22> did anyone experienced unplayablity with zsnes under dapper ?
<23> chmod
<2> theiosKostas, yes you should be able to no problem
<21> my wireless is all screwy and i don't know what to do!!
<18> sladen, thanks
<23> jUggERNAUt1980, how is it screwy?
<6> jUggERNAUt1980: move closer to the access-point
<24> theiosKostas, sometimes there are small switches on usb drives that allow you to make it read only
<21> it won't remain consistent.
<25> ciao
<21> i was just in a place with a wireless network and i could see the signal at 100%, but then my linux dropped the connection and wouldn't find any other networks.
<13> Is there an image burning program already installed on dapper? If not what is a good one to use/get
<21> including the one i was already connected to.
<26> TigerWolf: gnomebaker?
<27> #ubuntu-nl
<28> is it possible to upgrade from hoary to dapper?
<28> directly I mean
<29> i wouldn't try it
<24> TigerWolf, try K3B, its designed for KDE but its very good, also i've heard good things about GNOME Baker i think its called
<2> Almindor, yes probably.
<28> Ignite, gnome-baker is nice
<13> thanks guys
<28> oook
<2> Almindor, if you do a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
<13> installing gnome baker now
<24> i think i will do that same
<24> :D
<21> so then i came over to the bastard's house so i could plug in to his network, and he also has wireless. i should be able to see that network, but it didn't register anything.
<30> If there is a page with a search box on it, Firefox automatically transfer focus to it when the page is loaded. If you try to use the down arrow key to scroll down the page, you can't since the text box has the focus. This is very annoying
<1> sladen: Do you happen to have a minute or so? I'm the reporter of bug 36353 so if any further information is needed, please say so :)
<23> jUggERNAUt1980, do you have kismet installed?
<2> kapputu, i dont experience that behavior, but how is this a ubuntu issue? it is a firefox one and there is no point complaining here :D
<21> no, what's kismet?
<6> bug #36353
<23> jUggERNAUt1980, you can also do it from the terminal
<30> Subhuman, because this doesn't happen in Windows?
<21> i would like to do it from the terminal.
<23> do you know the ESSID?
<21> yup!
<9> !tell Almindor about upgrade
<23> ok, run this
<23> sudo ifconfig eth0 down
<19> /join #ubuntu.ro
<31> how can I chnage the screen resolution higher then 1024x768 ? I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 inside VMware
<13> Subhuman: /join #firefox
<30> Subhuman, if you can't help I'd advise you to keep your mouth shut
<23> sudo iwconfig eth1 essid <name>
<2> kapputu, well that doesnt automatically mean linux, this is a firefox issue, maybe asking in '#firefox will help
<8> !tell MatthiasM about fixres
<9> Almindor: you cannot upgrade from hoary directly to breezy. Must do it as two steps.
<23> sudo iwconfig eth1 key <key>
<13> u mean the other guy...
<8> ic56: umm - you mean hoary -> dapper
<2> TigerWolf, i dont need the help, kapputu does, but if hes going to get snappy he wont be getting any more help from me
<13> kapputu: : /join #firefox
<8> ic56: hoary -> breezy is one step
<13> yea - i read it wrong Subhuman - its good now
<9> thorauputic, Almindor. Yes, sorry.
<28> hoary -> dapper was my question
<28> ok I'll tell him to go one by one
<21> thanks for that! what's kismet now?
<8> Almindor: two steps - yes one at a time
<28> that's about a gb d/l eh? :)
<29> it's already complicated enough to upgrade from breezy to dapper...
<21> if i type those commands you gave me right now, it'll take me offline for a few.
<19> hello. isn't this the proper way to join a channel ? " /join #ubuntu.ro "
<29> yes
<29> without the leading space
<19> and whyd oes it end like this ? No channel joined. Try /join #<channel>
<13> yes
<8> LjL: gksudo "update-manager -d" is complicated ?
<2> _Mr_Denix_, that is correct, but its more likely to be #ubuntu-ro
<22> anyone has a clue to debug an snes emulator, zsnes and snes9x are running incredibly slow and without sound, the rest of the system is ok
<23> kk
<29> thoreauputic: no, if it works
<19> ok thanks Subhuman. on the site its ubuntu.ro
<32> When i double click the executable for blueJ, it asks if I want to display (which shows me the "source") or start in terminal.
<33> on the ubuntu wiki it says to start a full blown root shell use "sudo -i". what's the difference between that and "sudo bash"?
<32> Start in terminal starts the program and all great, but leaves a terminal in the background..
<32> Anyway to execute it without the terminal?
<2> gavagai, none really.
<29> thoreauputic: besides the fact that i'm using kubuntu, so update-manager is not there, but that's not even the point
<2> Tobberoth, add "&" at the end
<32> ah, thank you
<22> Tobberoth: alt-f2 in the default gnome open a run command window
<2> so like "sudo updatedb &" will update the search index in the background"
<22> Subhuman: even if you add & and close the terminal the process will shutdown
<21> the big part of it is that sometimes it won't acknowledge that there are networks in range and iwlist eth1 scan turns up no results, when i know that i'm in a hotspot.
<34> silly question (1st of the day) - when i down load linux-source-2.6.15 using synaptic, why does it just leave the tarball in /usr/src and doesn't untar it? (lots of disk space)
<22> Tobberoth: & will only enable you to continue using this same terminal
<33> Subhuman, thanks
