Comments:
<0> Thanks ubotu, that hosed cups
<1> I don't pretend to know.
<2> eobanb_: how would repartitioning help me? i cant get the os 10.3 CDs to boot anymore
<3> mediated: is your eth0 connected?
<4> Arc, re-partitioning should remove yaboot
<1> yup
<2> o.O
<2> how would repartitioning cause the bootloader on the flash to not work
<2> ok ubuntu is up
<4> Arc, you have to understand that yaboot isn't in some BIOS somewhere, it has its own miniature partition on the hard drive
<5> brettzilla, have you run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg yet? (that should set up your monitor correctly, unless it's really offbeat)
<6> is there a way to redetect my monitor? xorg.conf still shows my old monitor......
<6> not yet
<6> thanks for the suggestion
<6> :)
<4> brettzilla, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
<6> should i just breeze through this, and have it auto detect everything?
<4> brettzilla, i'd look at the settings carefully.
<7> intuos_pen, whats the best way for my use of a retail setup
<6> okay. thanks
<4> brettzilla, especially if you want a certain resolution
<8> if anyone can help me or daveCB i would be much gratefull because its like 6 am and im starting to feel a little annoyed with everything cuz im stuffed in my cpu all night trying to figure out how to share internet connection based on ubunto for windows xp.a link with a simple explanation but reliable would suit very well
<9> hello
<4> core__, you have two computers, and are trying to share an internet connection between both?
<10> ok that didnt work, going to install again with just the pcie card in
<8> yes
<11> can anyone help me install a .pcf font ?
<4> core__, do you have two network cards on either of the computers?
<8> yes
<3> mediated: is your eth0 configured properly?
<2> i did a mac-fdisk -l
<12> 6 am = coffe time
<2> it shows me hda and hdc
<12> brb
<2> hda has 10 partitions including a 646meg HFS partition?
<2> and linux appears installed on hdc
<1> metatag: Yes. I have a hub with my mac connected, and I share my mac's wifi over ethernet all the time to this computer.
<4> core__, try this
<4> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370
<9> does anyone know a program similar to deep freeze for Ubuntu?
<8> will do eobanb ,thanks
<4> gabo, i dont know what deep freeze is
<13> gabo: what's deep freeze do?
<9> ok
<9> it restores the changes in your hard drives
<9> any time you restart your OS
<4> to an earlier period in time?
<9> yes
<14> ah, so, you make an image, and then boot to that image
<9> it Freezes de partition
<9> no
<4> gabo, well, there's the liveCD :)
<9> it does it automatically
<9> hahaha
<9> no
<9> because you can disable it
<9> make changes
<14> gabo: right, but thats what the gist of it is.
<9> and freeze it again
<13> gabo, this is so you can muck around, and then when you break stuff, easily go back to where it worked?
<9> exactly
<14> gabo: I cant help feeling that it isn't required for linux.
<4> gabo, yeah, i dont know of anything like that, but i'm sure there's something like that out there, so i'd keep looking
<9> isnt it?
<4> gabo, why would it be
<9> it is my first day with ubuntu
<8> eobanb, i tryed that already but it seems not work,windows xp tells me that they are connected but they dont share any internet connection...at least when i try to open a wwebpage doesnt show any activity
<13> seems like it could be mighty useful for tweaking
<15> gabo, that's why there is root privilege separation - you cant really do anything to your system files until you enter root p***word. that's equivalent to "unlocking, making changes, then locking again" :)
<14> gabo: well, regular users cant edit system files
<9> ah
<9> well
<16> bjron: with a journaling file system, you can just replay the journal, or with a volume manager, you can take snapshots.
<14> but, if you wanted to screw around with important files, back them up to a tar gz and then you can extract them later if need be
<1> metatag: are you recieving my /msg's?
<4> core__, can you ping the ubuntu box from the windows box?
<9> and what if i change someting as root and i want to fix it
<17> I prefer the old style priv sepparation...
<3> nope
<13> fyrestrtr, that's probably what he's looking for then :)
<9> and of course, as i am a newbie i wouldnt have any idea how to solve it
<17> thankfully, it's possible to override the sudo stuff..
<4> mediated, i believe you need to register your nick to send private messages on freenode right now
<15> gabo: well, then you can be screwed pretty badly. :)
<1> oh
<1> "My interface eth0 is active"
<14> gabo: thats why I said to backup your essentials, and then you can just extract them later if need be
<9> yes it seems the solution
<9> but...
<9> what do you mean with "essentials"
<15> hmm, that deep freeze program seems like it would have its uses, though... i wonder if there is something like that. :)
<4> gabo, just about the only things you can screw up that truly require a re-install (or at least a rescue disc) are the sudoers file and grub
<14> heh, everything that isn't /home maybe /var as well.
<16> eobanb_: not really ;)
<3> mediated: did you enable dhcp ?
<1> eobanb_: I didn't notice those messages for quite a while...
<4> sure, fyrestrtr. everything else can basically be fixed from the recovery console
<1> yup
<18> can I have multiple clocks set at different time zones?
<15> eobanb, sudoers is easy to fix up - just boot into singleuser mode, and edit it to your heart's content. grub can be more of a pain - would require booting from a livecd. but either way, no requirement to reinstall.
<16> hegemon: no, the system clock can only be set to one timezone.
<4> hegemon, multiple clocks...?
<9> ok thank you
<18> darn it
<0> wow
<3> mediated: why don't you try static ip addresses?
<0> awesome
<0> sane worked
<16> hegemon: you can find an applet for gnome that can show you different time zones.
<4> good to hear it, jmg
<2> grr its too late to be still working on this
<18> yeah
<15> hegemon, there might be some program somewhere that can display the time in different cities around the globe, or something. is that what you are looking for?
<2> eobanb_: thanks for trying to help
<14> hegemon: sure. in fact, I think theres a 'world clock' package or something
<18> thats what mean
<4> good luck, Arc
<18> great!
<19> Could someone help me with a APT Preferences file. I was here in the channel last night and had help for how to create one and what to put in it, etc., but that did not solve my problem of when trying to install certain packages, it saying one version is required, but another (older) version will be installed. I think the problem has to do with the line Pin: release a=sarge-backports. I...
<19> ...don't think I have that repo, but I don't know that thats the problem.
<3> mediated: if you have 2 computers you probably don't need dhcp
<1> I'll try it
<4> firebird318, what were you trying to install
<5> firebird318, sare-backports?
<1> Same error message
<5> sarge?
<3> mediated : http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-list/2005-March/msg02004.html
<4> nickrud, i get the feeling firebird318 was messing with debian's repositories
<4> which is a baaad idea
<1> Adding Firestarter startup hook to /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks
<1> Internal network device eth0 is not ready. Aborting..
<5> very,
<4> firebird318, can you give us more background please
<19> eobanb: I get that, for example when trying to install mythtv. I got the sarge-backports from the person that tried to help me last night. I just used what he had, and I didn't think to ask if I had to change that to suit my repo list.
<5> !mythtv
<20> methinks mythtv is for watching TV in Linux. Check out http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/16/instructions-to-install-mythtv/
<4> firebird318, adding repositories for mythtv is totally unnecessary
<18> gworldclock
<4> firebird318, just install myth from ubuntu's own repositories
<19> eobanb: I am only trying to install mythtv from Synaptic, I am not adding repos for anything.
<18> gnome stock ticker is slow
<4> firebird318, okay, so apt-get install mythtv....and then what?
<21> hi, I just upgraded to dapper. I'm playing with the network-manager app. Is the NetworkManager daemon supposed to start at boot or something?
<22> hello
