Comments:
<0> can anyone help me recover my G4 mac?
<1> PPJJ, then you can go about fixing your xorg.conf
<1> Arc, what's the specific problem?
<2> gotcha
<0> the Ubuntu bootloader seems to have made it impossible to install OS 10.3 now
<2> im somehow managed to wipe out my Xp pro in the process of this, my 50th linux install
<2> i amaze myself daily
<3> Arc: i didn't know about OS 10.3 but you must have a way to re-initialize the master boot record of your G4 mac.
<1> Arc, the idea is to partition first, install mac os x, and then ubuntu, which itself installs a bootloader to allow you to switch between the two operating systems
<1> intuos_pen, there is no master boot record on powerpc macs
<0> when i boot up holding down the "c" key, i get a grey screen with a grey apple on it, then after a second or two the optical mouse light goes out (usb power seems to go out) and there's a screen telling me in four languages to hold down the power key or press the reset button
<1> or intel macs for that matter
<4> intuos_pen, imap is simply a way of storing mail. You can use procmail to fill the store, or you can create an evolution or kmail filter to put the mail in the store.
<1> Arc, that's a mac os x kernel panic
<5> anyone know how to make nautilus use a socks proxy+
<5> ?
<1> tag, you mean for network shares?
<0> eobanb_: when I press the "c" key from the ubuntu bootloader it goes further; i get a circular "loading" type animated icon below the apple logo, but then the screen flickers to an entirely grey screen
<5> yea
<3> nickrud: ah, another program to fetch the mails from the email servers.
<0> its been sitting on that grey screen for about 5 minutes now
<1> Arc, i ***ume you have a mac os x install disc in the drive?
<3> nickrud: how about the built-in fetchmail?
<0> eobanb_: yes. 10.3
<5> to connect to file servers and what not
<6> mwahh!....
<7> hum
<1> Arc, it sounds like you might have a bad disc. is it known to work on other computers, or have you tried a different install disc?
<0> I'd like to setup a quad-boot macosx, ubuntu, fedora, gentoo
<7> my flash player doesnt have sound ????
<5> I have a socks proxy into my work
<2> eobanb; nope, ctrl alt f1 did nothing
<8> I'm having Display problems with my NVIDIA card. I've followed the instructions at !nvidia. Could someone help me?
<2> i liws
<2> lied
<2> now it wants my login
<2> interesting
<1> PPJJ, it's just an xorg problem then.
<1> PPJJ, log in as your user as specified in the install process.
<5> and I want to use it to connect to file sharing servers and what not
<9> why is the live cd for EMT64/AMD64 named -amd64 if it supports both?
<2> yep
<1> ormandj, they're the same thing
<10> eobanb: my concern with ALSA is labeling controls in the mixer. the lables "multi 1" "multi 2" and such do not help when i'm trying to control volume levels
<0> eobanb_: the disk is fine.
<6> halu!....
<1> ormandj, and it's called EM64T, not EMT64
<9> eobanb: then why named amd64, that was my question :)
<2> go ubuntu, make me learn command line trial by fire
<8> Anyone here, able to help me with my NVIDA display problems?
<9> eobanb: sorry, mistype, i'm dyslexic
<0> is there a way to revert to the original mac bootloader? the one where you can hold down different keys at boot to get different drives to go?
<1> Arc, well i really dont know, but the fact that mac os x is kernel panicking makes it a mac os x problem i'm afraid, not an ubuntu one.
<4> intuos_pen yes, you can use that and a mail server and procmail if you like.
<6> s anyboD here?....
<1> ormandj, because it's just shorter and easier to type/say?
<8> Anyone here, able to help me with my NVIDA display problems?
<1> Arc, yes, flash the NVRAM
<5> I could always start nautilus with tsocks, but I think there is probably a less brute force way
<0> eobanb_: how do I do that
<1> Arc, just hold down cmd-opt-P-R on boot
<1> Arc, and do it twice in a row
<0> you mean control-option p r?
<1> Arc, no, command.
<5> eobanb_: any ideaZ
<3> nickrud: okay, that would be nice. i won't be bugging you with more questions. i'm planning to read dovecot's documentation sometime later. thanks for all the info's you've told me.
<0> what's the command key?
<5> ideas even
<1> Arc, i take it you're not a long-time mac user....
<0> no i'm not.
<0> the apple key?
<2> eobanb; whats a good place to learn how to fix xorg?
<1> Arc, it's the key with an apple logo on it. it also has a sort of flower-like symbol on it
<0> ok.
<6> hi!....
<3> eobanb_: btw, does intel-macs have mbr's already?
<1> intuos_pen, no, intel macs use EFI, which does not use an MBR
<6> hi!....
<1> welcome, jijie
<4> intuos_pen, I've been avoiding https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhyIMAP for a long time :)
<3> nickrud: avoiding? why?
<4> intuos_pen, it need editing
<11> any ubuntu guru's awake ?
<1> !anyone
<12> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? </hint>
<6> thnks.... at last i hav sombody 2 chat on.
<8> Anyone here, able to help me with my NVIDA display problems?
<1> !anyone
<12> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? </hint>
<0> eobanb_: ok i did that, the volume at startup was noticably lower
<11> eobanb_ thats funny
<0> but i still got the ubuntu bootloader
<8> eobanb_: what you mean?
<4> intuos_pen, and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Dovecot is way to complex for most users
<7> wow sweet
<1> daryl, just ask your question, don't ask to ask
<8> eobanb_: i did repeatedly, but didn't want to spam the room w/the long explanation. so I was waiting for someone to respond
<3> ubotu: it's between me and nickrud, so there's no need to worry, the borg doesn't understand humans much.
<12> intuos_pen: I'm sorry, i don't know what you're talking about
<3> ubotu: see.
<12> I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, intuos_pen
<1> !tell daryl about nvidia
<4> !tell intuos_pen about ubotu
<8> eobanb_: I followed the instructions at that nvidia site. and i still have this problem.
<1> intuos_pen, ubotu isn't a real person
<2> eobanb; would info about xorg be on wiki.ubun?
<5> how can I make nautilus use a socks proxy to connect to a file share?
<0> does anyone know how to remove the ubuntu bootloader from a system?
<1> daryl, well instead of us all having to scroll up and find where you explained the issue an hour ago, can you just explain it again?
<1> Arc, i already explained how
<8> eobanb_: i'm trying to type it
<0> eobanb_: and I told you, that did'nt work.
<3> eobanb_: i know :) didn't you see i called him a borg? anyway, it's against the rules to play with the bot. i'm stopping now.
<1> cmd-opt-P-R, Arc
<1> Arc, are you positive you're pressing all four of those keys?
<0> I did. and it immediatly rebooted with the volume noticably reduced. and i kept holding it down, and it rebooted again, then i let up.
<8> eobanb_: the problem is when I run winecfg. I get a message that the apllication tries to start a window, but no driver could be loaded. Make sure ythat your x server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
<0> yes.
<1> daryl, well that's hardly an issue with nvidia, that's a problem with wine
<11> can someone help me with figuring how I can have this. I'm wanting to have 2 pcs running in a retail store type setup (inventory management, print sales receipts, etc) 1 the main backend server running everything. and 1 front end terminal pulling the information from the backend server and updating as needed
<8> eobanb_ that explains why reinstalling my nvidia drivers 50 different ways didn't resolve the problem
<13> did you 'su' at all?
<8> eobanb_ whats the problem?
<1> daryl, i'm not sure...i'd probably ask in #wine
<8> eobanb_: ok, i'l go try there
<14> hmm, so I have an iso image which I'd like to use as a source for my dapper upgrade, mounted the image and added it to my sources list, but when i run 'update-manager -d' and get ready to upgrade, the ugrade manager disables the iso file source; does anyone know how to use this image as a source (so I don't have to redownload those packages on the CD)?
<1> bjron, sure, just do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade instead of running the update manager
<0> does anyone know how to remove the ubuntu bootloader from a system?
<2> eobanb; when i try to edit xorg.conf i get GTK-warning cannot open display.. hm
<2> i wonder if its because i have a PCI video card plugged in with my 7900gt
<1> PPJJ, obviously you can't use a graphical editor like gedit when you're not running X
<2> oh
<0> I know this system was booting these CDs just two days ago, now it's not. this is a serious problem if ubuntu is preventing the macosx install CDs from working and there's no way to recover
<14> eobanb, ah, good thought. I'm a bit concerned that running 'dist-upgrade' isn't the only thing the upgrade manager does tho
<1> PPJJ, use nano or vi
<2> vi then?
<2> k
<2> i didnt realize gedit was graphical
<1> PPJJ, and remember use sudo when editing it
<2> ok all i see are blue tildes
<3> this is a very trivial question and I don't intend to revive religious wars, which is lighter, robust and much more stable on laptops, gnome on ubuntu or kde on kubuntu?
<1> bjron, it is, in fact, all that the upgrade manager basically does.
<1> intuos_pen, purely subjective
<4> bjron, can't you simply write that iso to a cd; loading that cd should ask you to upgrade to dapper
<14> eobanb, cool, thanks :)
<1> intuos_pen, if you're looking for a 'lighter' desktop environment, might i recommend trying xubuntu instead
