<0> wat about /user and /root dir for ubuntu
<1> but leave the last 20G free (after the XP install), and the ubuntu installer should determine what's best
<2> How's everyone?
<3> can I become a root user without rebooting or logging out?
<3> ubuntu 5.10
<1> andreasc89: use sudo
<4> i have 2g of ram cant i turn of swap file
<3> how?
<1> mikej: you can, but it doesn't hurt to use it
<3> what is sudo?
<5> hi guys, just installed the xcellent beep player. i actually like the default skin, but how wud i go about adding/trying other skins ?
<4> andreasc89, type sudo in terminal
<6> hi
<1> andreasc89: sudo infront of any command will run it as root
<3> ok
<2> I think it's short for "super-user do"
<1> andreasc89: sudo = SuperUserDO
<7> is it bad to always have swap in use?
<3> I want to access another partion
<3> but the disk program refuces
<1> andreasc89: sudo mount ..
<8> andreasc89: no need to be root
<3> it says so
<3> it's a ntfs partion
<5> anyone ?
<2> Hey, can anyone help me out getting started installing Ubuntu on my Presario v2000? I just ordered a couple of Ubuntu AMD64 CDs, and I'm not sure how to go about shrinking my XP NTFS partition (I'd like to dual boot).
<9> but hi guys
<10> exit
<9> i got ubuntu (amd64) and i wanna download stuff from a source with apt. but this specific source has only binary-i386, not binary-amd64
<9> can i make apt look in the right place or is there any other method for doing this
<11> Tonren if you boot from the livecd, you can run gparted which can resize NTFS drives, I would run a defrag on it before you to do though
<9> ask the apt-mirror to make a symlink? :)
<6> how do i get sound for when i watch videos from you tube in ubuntu?
<0> anybody know where do i get the the ubuntu for VMware ?
<11> prefect_ source is probably platform independent
<2> NoUse, the ShipIt CDs come with the gparted utility?
<0> i wanna try it befoe i actually install
<11> Tonren did you order the live cd?
<9> nouse: this is unfortunatly binaries
<12> hi, i need to read through a file in a bash script... the -u parameter to read wants a 'file descriptor' though. how can i get a file descriptor for an arbitrary file?
<2> NoUse, I'm not sure what you mean by "live CD". I ordered whatever it is ubuntu.com sends you when you click through to ShipIt.
<2> I don't see the term "live CD" on the page anywhere, though
<13> /j
<6> can anyone tell me how to fix the sound in firefox for embeded videos
<3> now it says "Couldn't display "/dev/hda1".
<14> Tonren: they send for each one you order an install cd and a live cd
<3> any idea of what's wrong?
<5> hi guys, just installed the xcellent beep player. i actually like the default skin, but how wud i go about adding/trying other skins ?
<14> Tonren: why are you ordering breezy cds now?
<2> gnome, wha'ts the difference? is a Live CD an actual instance of Ubuntu, and not an installer?
<2> gnome, good point; I should probably wait for the next release...
<15> hey guys! i have a pocket pc running windows, and all i want is to access it like a drive (for my one gig SD card.) anyone has an idea ?
<14> Tonren: live cd will not install ubuntu to harddrive
<14> Tonren: dappers live cd will but breezys wont
<2> gnome, I'm still a little confused about the difference b/w Live and Install CDs. what's the point of a Live CD? to boot off of so you can configure your machine?
<11> Tonren to try out ubuntu without having to install it
<14> Tonren: live cd allows you to run ubuntu without installing it to harddrive
<16> !livecd
<3> what do I write to mount the disk?
<17> I have a Dell laptop with multimedia keys. Is there a way to make the volume buttons work with Headphone volume instead of Master volume?
<16> bah
<2> so it IS an actual instance of Ubuntu. cool!
<8> Tonren: highlight, use tabs
<16> !+livecd
<18> from memory, livecd is useful for playing with or trying out (k)ubuntu without installing it or making any changes to your system. grab one from the download page at http://www.ubuntulinux.org or request via ship-it. To remaster your own, check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDCustomizationHowTo .
<3> sry for all dumb questions
<2> kbrooks: Huh? I think you may have read the wrong name
<19> does anyone know of a way to mount an ubuntu drive in windows?
<6> UKMatt, yeah
<19> hav0k, how?
<11> !ext3
<18> ext3 is, like, a filesystem that Linux can be installed on and can be read/written from Windows via http://www.fs-driver.org
<8> andreasc89: dumb questions? i'll have to do something about people saying "sorry for these dumb questions"
<6> UKMatt, how do you have your drive?
<15> reiserfs can be supported i think
<6> UKMatt, what file system
<19> hav0k, what do you mean?
<19> hav0k, /
<8> andreasc89: netiquette does not include "do NOT ask 'dumb' questions"
<15> no, how did u format it ?
<15> which fs ?
<2> Ayabara, this may be a stupid question, but does the software actually differentiate between the two? on Windows XP the master volume *is* the headphone volume
<20> does anyone know a good application to monitor system logs?
<8> andreasc89: what is a dumb question?
<14> one not asked
<11> UKMatt did you just do a default ubuntu install?
<5> *cries*
<21> hello, is it safe to un-install the ubuntu-desktop package?
<8> gnomefreak: right
<14> animato: yes
<11> animato it won't really accomlish anything, but you can
<19> nouse, yeah I'm guessing, i don't know what else you guys mean so i guess that means i have the default
<21> will i be able to get the latest updates and such with it removed?
<2> I can't WAIT to finally get Linux running on this stupid laptop!
<2> Windows is hell.
<14> NoUse: im betting something he wants to install/remove is asking for it to go to
<11> UKMatt http://www.fs-driver.org
<17> Tonren: it does. when I use the keys, the master volume increases, but the headphone volume is the same. when I pull out the headphones, the internal speaker has a higher volume
<11> gnomefreak yeah
<14> animato: yes
<5> noone knows how to install different skins for beep then ? ;x
<21> ok thanx
<8> animato: yes. just reinstall it when you upgrade
<21> oh ok
<14> kbrooks: is that still needed with update-manage -d?
<21> it's only needed for upgrades?
<8> animato: ubuntu-desktop does not *contain* the ubuntu desktop
<19> nouse, oh i have ext3
<14> !ubuntu-desktop
<18> somebody said ubuntu-desktop was a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading
<21> i know it doesn't, i was just wondering what exactly does it do
<11> UKMatt then the link I sent you shoudl be perfect
<8> gnomefreak: that reinstalled the package for me
<19> nouse, tyvm
<2> Ayabara: Bizarre... I did a quick Google search. I think the answer lies in the Volume Control Applet.
<14> kbrooks: ok cool
<2> Ayabara: It's Applications -> Sound & Video
<21> i never upgrade, i always do a fresh install and keep my /home partition whenever there's a new ubuntu ver, so i guess it doesn't matter to me :)
<17> Tonren: Thanks. Haven't found it there yet, but found a post explaining about fixing it with lineakd
<14> animato: nope it doesnt
<8> gnomefreak: if you like, you can s/, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading// on june 1
<2> Ayabara: I found this link on Google: http://wm-eddie.info/nx4300/ Scroll down to "Sound" to read what I read
<14> !sound
<18> Help to fix issues with sound can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
<2> Animato: Is it difficult to set up a /home partition instead of making it a child of the OS partition?
<21> nope torren
<8> Tonren: not hard
<21> you just create a new partition when you install
<21> and you label it as /home
<17> Tonren: thanks. have to find the volume control applet in dapper :-)
<21> that's it
<8> animato: i think after the install (?)
<2> I'm still new to Linux... does everything except for OS files go in /home?
<21> oh
<21> i have no idea
<21> never did it after installing
<2> Ayabara: Cool - good luck! Maybe add your solution to the Wiki.
<8> Tonren: "everything"?
<8> Tonren: ~ (/home/username/) is yours
<2> kbrooks: Haha, bad question, sorry. Suppose I download Apache and have it run; does it behoove me to install it into my /home partition, or my OS partition?
<8> Tonren: ium, apache isnt a turnkey application. you more like have to go through 3 doors and p*** checks at each door
<3> if I mount a new disk, where does it appaer?
<3> can't see it on the desktop anyway
<2> kbrooks: so, how does that affect which partition Apache lives on? I'm sorry if I'm not phrasing my question right... I'm such a Linux noob.
<8> andreasc89: there is no default path
<22> can someone tell what character is after root: in the root account line in /etc/shadow? i made a mistake and i need to erase the p***word and make it like it was at the default installation.
<3> how do I choose the path?
<8> Tonren: at the first door, you can choose the path
<3> I wrote: 'sudo mount dev/hda1'
<3> was it wrong?
