Comments:
<0> I ment I do not have any other controller
<1> modprobe isn't going to help if you can't even boot...
<2> can you use the -y parameter with aptitude?
<3> chripher: be more careful how you express yourself.
<4> chripher, and remember to tell the partitioner to put the /boot on somewhere that the bios can see, if you have no drives on your motherboard's controller then use a floppy disk
<3> chripher, are you sure that there is no IDE controller on your motherboard?
<5> gnomefreak: aptitude --help | grep -- -y (yes)
<0> my bios can see my ATA-100
<6> anyone use planner?
<3> chripher: that should be fine for connecting at least one of your drives.
<0> they are on ATA-100
<4> chripher, you can put your /boot on there, a partition of 100mb will be plenty enough space for it
<3> chripher: can you remove the Highpoint altogether?
<0> I already have /boot on that drive attched to ATA-100=HP370
<2> _jason: i just checked the man page :(
<0> chip on mb
<2> thought better of it after i thought about it
<5> gnomefreak: it's there too :P
<7> dont s'pose anyone here knows how to get ntfs drives to load on boot (using captive-ntfs)
<4> chripher, that's a 3rd/4th ide connector on your motherboard, yes?
<2> if i use -y it may uninstall something i need during upgrading :(
<5> gnomefreak: yeah, I don't think it's a really good idea
<0> no it is the one and only
<3> mythica: you got captive working? Congratulations. Perhaps you can add the necessary commands to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
<2> i dont advise anyone to use it even with apt-get but i feel its safer with apt-get than aptitude lol
<7> soundray, ye its working - not that hard is it ?
<8> Whenever trying to start Ubuntu linux, I get a "Fatal Server Error: Caught Signal 4" It then reverts to a DOS-like interface (I'm currently on WinXP, I just installed ubuntu on top of it)
<2> i use safer as loosly as possible
<3> mythica: I haven't tried, because I have no need (yay!)
<7> soundray, thanks ill check the bootmisc.sh file
<2> UbuntuUserX: your on winxp right this sec?
<5> gnomefreak: heh yeah, there was someone here the otherday where aptitude was asking to remove like 1300 packages
<8> yes
<2> omg
<3> mythica: conventional wisdom says it doesn't work with ubuntu.
<8> ?
<2> _jason: mine just did 103 lol
<7> eh, what does conventional wisdom know
<2> UbuntuUserX: how are you on winxp if you installed ubuntu over winxp during install it reformats the drive
<3> !captive
<9> well, captive is a project to use windows NTFS drivers under linux. It does not work properly with Ubuntu.
<8> no no no - i meant i installed it with winxp
<8> sorry for the wording
<8> i partitioned and everything and installed ubuntu, so i now have both
<10> _jason: I got this effect with adept as well. Removing gcc-4.x wanted to remove 100 or 200 packages as well lol
<8> but ubuntu keeps giving me some error with "X" every time it starts
<11> Anyone know how to tell what packages I'm using from a specific repository?
<8> at this moment i'm on winxp
<10> and without asking confirmation :-l
<5> gnomefreak, chicken_Fire: well in fairness to aptitude, the guy had installed some dapper debs for essential stuff on a breezy install :)
<2> _jason: thats never a good idea to start with lol
<0> anto9us, modprobe ?
<6> Anyone use Planner?
<8> i've searched a bit on google with this, and found other people with this problem, but no solution found yet
<3> UbuntuUserX: you will probably find some diagnostic information in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
<8> yes it says something regarding
<4> chripher, that may help the livecd to see it, but I think you'll have problems booting
<2> i personally use sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade (but thats a personal script)
<8> /var/log/Xorg.0.log/
<3> UbuntuUserX: reboot to recovery mode or install a Windows ext2 driver to read the log.
<8> although I am brand new to ubuntu so i'm not sure how to access it
<8> recovery mode? thansk
<3> UbuntuUserX: no trailing /
<8> thanks*
<8> ya
<2> ok dinners done ill bbl
<8> so just try recovery mode?
<3> UbuntuUserX: either that or a filesystem driver for Windows.
<12> hey, on the amd64 livecd, i can't get the system to start all the way up, i have an ATI AIW X800-XL and it drops me to a bash prompt
<12> for dapper
<0> anto9us, but how do I do to install can I download drivers to diskette
<6> anyone know a good gantt app for linux?
<12> no one in #ubuntu+1 is answering the ? atm
<8> how exactly would i get a filesystem driver... (i'm not exactly a pro at this stuff)
<3> UbuntuUserX: in recovery mode, you could try tweaking X settings with 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
<8> err
<8> ok
<4> chripher, were there any instructions in the gz file?
<8> how exactly would i tweak it?
<3> UbuntuUserX: for an ext2 driver for Windows, you'd have to search the web or ask the channel again.
<8> k
<3> UbuntuUserX: what kind of graphics card?
<8> onboard laptop ATI
<13> hey hey
<3> UbuntuUserX: you could try installing ati drivers by following the wiki
<3> !ati
<9> from memory, ati is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=423589
<12> i'll brb, gotta go get food....
<8> from the ATI site?
<8> k
<3> UbuntuUserX: no, look at ubotu's line
<8> k
<14> Hmm
<14> How do I set up a WiFi connection on boot? i mean with a WEP key and the name of the AP?
<3> carl, all those settings go in /etc/network/interfaces plus a line that says 'auto wlan0' (or whatever the interface name of your wifi card is)
<0> anto9us, cannot open tha tgz
<14> soundray: Ok? And what will that achieve?
<15> carl: all that stuff is configured in the /etc/network/interfaces file. Take a look on man ifup or man idown
<3> carl, what you asked for.
<16> Greetings, I'm wondering if there's a way to lock down settings to programs/desktop etc. so that when the computer restarts they are back to their defaults?
<14> Allready checked the man pages... it works... but I must be able to set the AP name and the WEP key in some file doesn't seem to be possible in the interfaces files
<3> kevin: afaik, there is no standard way to do this yet in Ubuntu. But what you want is probably something akin to kiosk mode.
<15> carl: use the iwconfig commands for that. you can also configure them in the 'interface'-file
<4> chripher, I think it's tar -xvf <filename>
<3> carl, have you read man 5 interfaces and man 7 wireless ?
<0> anto9us, yeah but now I can not stat firefox anymore either
<14> minimec: exactly, as of now I created a file of my own that runs the iwconfig commands I need... but what to add to 'interfaces'
<14> soundray: yes
<17> is it normal, that i cannot properly burn the ubuntu 5.1 image ??
<3> anto9us: the dash is deprecated (but don' ask me why)
<18> havoc_: 5.10 (its a ten, not a one oh), and have you tried slowing your burner?
<3> carl, and have you followed the instructions therein?
<19> !samba
<9> [samba] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SettingUpSamba or http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba2/book/toc.html
<15> carl: mom
<14> Form : wireless-<function> <value>
<14> wireless-essid Home
<14> wireless-mode Ad-Hoc
<17> it just produces erronr on writing the end track
<14> That's all it says....
<3> carl, don
<16> soundray, I have a lab for students of different grade levels, many of them as young as Grade 1 up to Grade 12, I want them to be able to play around with settings so they can learn about them, but then want the settings back to normal again on reboot, does Kiosk mode do this?
<14> basically....
<20> Does anybody here know how to start dbmix in the terminal? I installed it with synaptic and it didn't make an icon.
<3> 't paste
<14> and it doesn't tell me much
<4> soundray, my brain is no good for the command line, I'm the same with numbers, telephone, house, I often forget where I live
<0> hehe
<15> carl: You can use all the iwconfig commands (as far as I know). I never had some problems with that.
<3> kevin: well, I guess it would be a variation on kiosk mode. I was really just suggesting a term to search the web for.
<17> Flannel: but i did not try to slow it down.
<21> Hi. I am trying 5.10 live cd and its freezing at "Starting Enterprise Volume Manager". Any ideas?
<14> minimec: you mean just add them to the interfaces file?
<3> kevin: like "gnome kiosk"
<15> carl: Yes. Exactly
<22> when my kid turns 1, ima give them a p3 pc, ana feather linux cd
<18> havoc_: right, usually you need to slow down your burn for ISOs, to like 8x or something. I forgt the exact numbers.
<23> jhenn: did you verified the CD for scratches or anything similar?
<14> such as: iwconfig ath0 key xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
<14> ?
<16> soundray, ok thanks, I will check into it
<3> kevin: you could probably have home directories for students set up in a RAM disk as well.
<21> Bilange: its a brand new cd just first touched by human hands
<17> Flannel: never encountered that .
<21> Bilange: should i md5 it or something?
<18> havoc_: I think you just did ;)
<24> I've installed Ubuntu 5.10 on ten computers today, on a firm, and they are happily using it, they used to use windows xp and they are not having problems using ubuntu, they check their mails, browse the net, write documents, and print stuff, I'm really impressed with ubuntu
<21> asdx: don't use the wireless
<3> anto9us, just email me all your details, I'll send you a reminder by SMS from time to time ;)
<17> :) so i try slowing down.. even the simulation keeps erroring
<23> jhenn: I know dapper beta liveCD's has a "check cd for defects" option when booting up, but Im not sure if theres something like that on breezy ones...
