Comments:
<0> it just keeps asking me for a blank cd with at least 8MB
<1> V4Vendetta: lot of empty space then =p
<2> polpak, / doesn't actually store anything really..
<3> rsyncx it say's # 0 = start on boot; 1 = don't start on boot
<3> NO_START=1 how i can change this ?
<0> my cd burner is kind of old, could this have something to do with it? it works just fine in windows though
<4> V4Vendetta, you might need separate partitions off if data changes alot in the particular one.
<2> rsyncx, what do you mean?
<2> rsyncx, i have 4 partitions, one for / one for /tmp one for /usr and one for /home
<4> rsyncx, say you do alot of databases , the /var/db , would be a candidate for its own parition.
<3> NO_START=1 how i can change this ?
<4> put 0
<3> rsyncx it say's # 0 = start on boot; 1 = don't start on boot
<2> rsyncx, oh, i never use databases
<4> V4Vendetta, fragementation prediction code is so good nowadays, and people have so much space, that partitioning doesn't matter, in terms of fragmentation.
<2> rsyncx, yea, i think i did it right this time
<4> on gentoo i put, /var/tmp and /usr/portage in different folder, because it changes cardinally every day, for example. with ubuntu you have no such worrries.
<0> is there a command that I need to issue to let me use the burner, if it is permission problem, because I'd love to hear a solution that easy.
<4> but what is the command for disabling aolserver ?
<4> or disabling a service?
<4> like apache, exim etc.
<5> brent__: nautilus-cd-burner works for me fine, but serpentine doesn't seem to want to burn random files
<4> i don't have anything on aolserver in /etc/default dir and i have no idea where to look
<6> rsyncx: sudo invoke-rc.d serviceName stop
<7> Hey room, having a trouble installing. I get to the part where it loads up to partition but after that nothing happens.
<7> Just the blue background w/ a grey bar at the bottom.
<5> DoctorX: mebbe try disabling acpi - sometimes that's needed
<2> !easyubuntu
<8> easyubuntu is an easy-to-use program for installing all your favorites. Java, Nvidia/ATI, and more. It is as safe as the team can make it. It doesn't change any settings by default. http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ or #easyubuntu
<7> Forgzoo, whats acpi?
<9> in case anybody's wondering, I solved my DRI problem
<7> I'll disable it but I'd like to atleast understand it too. :)
<5> DoctorX: just from the install boot prompt, p*** 'linux acpi=off' acpi is a power mgt system
<10> how do i tell what is the best sound driver to instal, i am using server wioth flucbox
<9> glxinfo | grep OpenDriver indicated it could not find a specific driver in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/ which is an empty folder
<7> It is a lappy
<9> so I created a symlink from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri --> /usr/lib/dri
<9> since debian's packages reside in the former, but ubuntu's are in the latter
<5> vars: consider installing 'esd' - it allows playing multiple sound sources
<5> !esd
<5> !tell vars about esd
<7> Unrelated question, is it possible to use a laptop as a monitor for a desktop?
<11> anyone may help me for an agp issue ? http://pastebin.com/595909
<5> DoctorX: no - only as an x server
<12> can somebody help me?
<12> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
<12> skype: Depends: libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.3.2) but 3:3.3.3-7ubuntu3 is installed
<5> !tell Imsdle about skype
<2> how do i enable the control+alt+delete brings up gnome taskmanager?
<13> can i safely remove gnome and most of its programs
<14> Anyone in here aware of a p2p program for Ubuntu... please let me know, Im knew
<15> Tanzanian, BitTorrent works automatically
<13> do i need gnome to run gnome programs or is only having gtk fine
<13> i use xfce now and no longer need gnome installed
<15> damian_, you just need the gtk libs
<15> damian_, just like you only need the kde libs to run KDE stuff - I run k3b in Gnome
<13> Madpilot: and so i can safely remove most of gnome then
<14> madpilot: i just cant start it.... im looking for MP3 and Videos... how do i go about it?
<16> doesn't anyone find the lack of straightforwardness that linux seems to have frustrating?
<17> I have 3 vga cards plugged in - how do I enable the other 2?
<15> Tanzanian, find a site with torrent files, click on a .torrent link, it should just work
<14> oooh ok
<18> Ramnath: straight forward regarding what?
<14> Madpilot: Thanks let me check
<16> windows was simple
<15> Ramnath, it's more straightforward than MS, in a lot of ways - but there's more stuff to do in Linux
<16> just double click an icon and every thing was installed
<5> V4Vendetta: I'm guessing system -> prefs -> kb shortcuts
<7> Is there a command to check the disc integrity before starting the install?
<5> !tell Tanzanian about azureus
<18> Ramnath: its the same way with linux, with a reasonable packaging system, once you get the software, you double click, it installs.
<13> can i SAFELY remove ubuntu desktop? what exactly will that get rid of?
<16> it didn't take a bunch of time to get games running in ms...
<18> damian_: I believe it's just a pseudo package.
<15> damian_, ubuntu-desktop isn't important
<5> Ramnath: for any OS there's a learning curve - just for doze, it's '***umed' knowledge
<18> Ramnath: take that up with the game makers. They're the ones who only make games for windows (and thus we have to tweak things to get them to run on linux)
<13> yeah just figured out thanks anyway
<19> ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package...
<20> damian_: ubuntu-desktop is an empty package that depends on the entire ubuntu base system
<19> it lists the other packages to be installed... safe to remove, but not recommended
<16> hahaha
<16> the learning curve on linux is wonderful
<21> why dont i have the unmount command
<21> and how do i get it
<21> ?
<22> hello
<23> it's called 'umount' no 't'
<5> do_me_nice: 'umount'
<15> ddonky, you mean no first n :P
<23> lol
<21> aww
<21> thanks
<16> i still can't get anything to run on that wine program
<23> too late here, for that kind of talk :)
<23> umout
<5> Ramnath: I'm actually disturbed that once everything's all setup, there's so little left for me to play with :(
<19> Ramnath, just use Windows to run Windows applications...
<16> i don't have windows
<5> Ramnath: 2 points about wine - use the wine from stock repo NOT from sourceforge, & 2, install winetools & do the base install
<15> Frogzoo, there's something like 16,000 packages in Ubuntu's repos - you can't possibly have explored them all! :P
<19> buy...
<19> :)
<7> Frogzoo I turned off all power management in the bios and ran the install as linux acpi=off
<7> still nothing after the partitioner loads
<7> just blue screen w/ grey bar at the bottom
<5> Madpilot: yes yes, what I mean is, there's so little need for maintenance - I actually have to get on with getting real work done, instead of fiddling
<19> don;t depend on Windows program when your actually use GNU/Linux... Wine project is a mistake
<13> do i have to keep the gnome language packs? -language-pack-en
<16> a mistake because why?
<15> Frogzoo, I've found all sorts of things to fiddle with, more than I ever did in Windows, because the base is so stable for experimenting on
<5> DoctorX: I'd suggest googling for 'breezy + install ' + whatever hardware might be having issues
<19> not really, damian_, if you prefer the default non-localized Posix/C
<24> svp j'ai un petit probleme
<24> oups sorry
<15> !fr
<8> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
<19> c'est que? nem ?
<25> :)
<13> MAdpilot can i paste something to you
<15> damian_, pastebin it
<13> lazy
<13> adress?
<5> !pastebin
<15> !pastebin
<8> it has been said that pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org - Install webboard for easy pasting from the gnome taskbar :)
<26> Hmm, anyone running Cedega 5.0.3 here?
<27> i cannot get my sound working, normally when i restart after sound sstops working i will work again
<28> Is Ubuntu incompabitle with SATA drives?
<16> Ubuntu- How many hoops are you willing to jump through?
<15> m00s3s, not at all - my only HD is SATA
<19> m0ns00n, it is compatible with ANY Sata drives... maybe for not the latest SATA2
<28> Healot: It can't find my disk
<28> Healot: And I don't have any bios options of making it run like a /dev/hda* disk
<19> it's /dev/sd*
<29> hi all
<19> GNU/Linux treats most SATA drives as SCSI drives
<27> anyone know what to do to get my sound working?
<29> how can i upgrade my distro from breezy to dapper?
<19> m0ns00n, if you prefer, try using System->Administration->Disks
<19> or run Gparted (from Live CD or install it if you have an Ubuntu installed)
<30> linuxboyfriend: Just like in !update, but s/breezy/dapper/ and s/hoary/breezy/. See !dapper if you haven't.
<15> linuxboyfriend, Dapper is still in development - it'll be stable/released in mid-April
<29> !dapper
<8> The pre-release name for next release of Ubuntu, actual name 6.04. Due 20th April. It is Development Software as such it _May_Break_! > /join #ubuntu+1 < Channel for IRC - Use http://tinyurl.com/rtgxo easy update
<29> Madpilot: so, is there any danger in upgrading?
<15> linuxboyfriend, Dapper isn't stable yet, stuff could well break for you
<16> this is absolute lunacy
<29> Madpilot: but i noticed that a lot of people, here, did this?
<15> linuxboyfriend, yes, they have, and it seems to be working - but it's riskier than just staying with Breezy for now
<20> linuxboyfriend: A lot of people here aren't running production boxes or have slight sanity issues. :)
