<0> todd: oh, ouch. okay, we should start with Xft, see if you can find out why that's not enabled. try typing Xft into the terminal and see what happens, i suppose.

<0> newtoubuntu: what's up?
<3> hi
<3> I am using breezy
<3> and have problem printing
<4> yea, remember my windows question?
<5> Double_D command not found
<6> i logged on before your question i think.
<3> I have 2 pc : printer <=> pc1
<1> wd dpkg -rP file.deb I meant but you prolly guessed that
<3> and pc2 is on the same network
<4> manu__: What have you tried>
<0> newtoubuntu: what specific changes are you trying to make? like icons or the desktop or making a windows desktop clone or what?
<3> how can I get the printing to work from pc2?
<0> todd: hmm. try some variations of 'help Xft.'
<1> good night folks
<0> todd: err, crap. linux. maybe help won't work the same way.
<7> cannot install gcc without root access, cannot use "sudo" because error "Unable to lookup <computer name> via gethostbyhame" heard you fix this in /etc/hosts, cannot modify without root access... :( any ideas?
<8> IdleOne, hey thanks i'm gonna just uninstall
<0> IdleOne: sleep tight, thanks for the help.
<9> LinNewb: rescue mode
<3> newtoubuntu: I can print so far from PC1 to printer
<5> Double_D nothing
<4> Double_D: basicaly a clone, I just what non linux users to be able to use my laptop without me being constanly around
<3> using USB
<3> but I would love to be able to print from my pc2 directly over the network
<1> wd np sorry I wasnt more help :/
<3> I think PC1 should act as a printing server... is this possible?
<4> manu: and what do you want to do?
<10> pumpernickle: do you use captive?
<3> I want to print from PC2
<0> newtoubuntu: you might want to try some type of emulator or something, then, maybe. do some searching arround at ubuntuforums.org, see if you can find anything.
<5> Wheres DBO
<7> thx, byez yall
<3> I want it to be transparent
<0> todd: hmm. let me see if i can find anything out about Xft.
<3> I want PC1 to be the main pc connected to the printer
<5> Double_D k\
<3> and then any other pc to be able to print through PC1
<4> Double_D: Ok thanx, Wine does that right? is there a desktop like windows or somthing else (like bootcamp of Mac)?
<8> IdleOne, u were thnx
<0> todd: okay, it's a font thing. try looking around in synaptic, or do an apt-cache search for it.
<0> todd: you might not have the package installed, i suppose.
<11> hello
<6> why not just make a guest user account newtoubuntu?
<5> Double_D ill check
<0> newtoubuntu: wine is a windows emulator, i'm not sure if it emulates on the X root window, though.
<0> newtoubuntu: may as well look into it thought.
<0> newtoubuntu: *though
<4> Yea, I guess it's illigle to make a true copy right?
<0> newtoubuntu: there might a virtualPC for linux, too, perhaps.
<3> so newtoubuntu? any idea?
<0> newtoubuntu: i have some friends with mac's that use that.
<0> todd: if you're mostly just worried about friends being able to surf or chat or whatever with you laptop, you could always add launchers to the desktop and that might be enough for them.
<0> todd: ack. that was meant for newtoubuntu.
<4> manu__: Not realy, I'm prettly new, But When I plugged into my school network, all the printers showed up
<10> lathropwells: did you see that link for captive?
<5> Double_D still nothing man
<12> If anyone could help me, I am trying to dual boot windows xp and Ubuntu 5.10, how would I go about doing this?
<4> Yea, That could work, but often people don't even try to do anything when they see that it's linux
<9> !dualboot
<2> for wintel https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsDualBootHowTo :for the Mac https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
<3> my printer is not a network printer
<11> milesblahblah: uncomment windows section in /boot/grub/menu.lst
<6> install windows first miles, to part of the drive, then install linux second.
<0> todd: hmmm. did you do a search in synaptic and it didn't show up at all?
<3> so I am trying to use my pc1 to be the relay
<13> hi
<4> Double_D: i have the winblows CD, so I might just duel boot it on my sustem
<4> *system
<0> todd: look around here, see if this helps you out: http://keithp.com/~keithp/render/Xft.tutorial
<0> newtoubuntu: not a bad idea.
<13> I downloaded kubuntu dapper6 install i386, md5 check is ok, I burned it and it doesn't want to boot it.... why? :((
<14> hahaha
<0> newtoubuntu: i know some keep have a windows partition that they can switch back and forth with, too. not sure if that's the same thing you're talking about..
<12> (graig) Have another problem I already installed win xp on the whole disk, should I partition a new section on win xp or when installing ubuntu?
<4> Double_D: I just use the grub loader that comes with ubuntu on my desktop at school
<5> Double_D wait i founf some more hold on
<12> Have another problem I already installed win xp on the whole disk, should I partition a new section on win xp or when installing ubuntu?
<15> milesblahblah: you will need to have partitioned drives during install
<0> newtoubuntu: ah, i think i understand.
<5> Double_D still the same errors
<16> how do i add 1280x1024 to the list of available resolutions in the "screen resolution" preferences window!?
<12> So I can't have win xp partition some excess space?
<4> Double_D: Would duel boot do anything but eat harddrive space?
<0> newtoubuntu: i'm not sure. might use RAM, too.
<14> Shut up
<0> newtoubuntu: actually, i'd guess it would use RAM as well.
<17> I have breezy badger, how do I update to Dapper?
<8> how do uninstall or remove opera installed by sudo dpkg -i (file.deb)?
<15> milesblahblah: I have dual boot, but unless you have partition tools, you cannot partition once you installed on an all single drive
<4> Duble_D: Why RAM, If I havent booted the OS, why would it be in RAM (which clears when there's no power)
<10> Is there a cd ripper that can create filenames with the total number of tracks ie... 1 of 10?
<14> yes
<0> newtoubuntu: it might not. i don't know.
<10> great! what is it?
<0> newtoubuntu: i've never done it before.
<14> yeah i wanna know
<0> todd: well, i might be out of ideas, then. maybe should seek some help from someone more seasoned :(
<18> Oh man. My net stopped working, and i flipped out, tried everything to fix it
<10> oh, i thouht you knew
<18> then tried pinging my router, it worked.
<15> milesblahblah: there is a partition tool in dos mode, but I cannot remember which one....
<18> I'm like wtffff
<4> Double_D: I'll try it tommarrow, It's not a perfect solution, but it might work for my friends, whatever!
<18> so i ran upstairs.. i accidentally hit the "suspend" button on my cable modem
<18> -.-
<0> newtoubuntu: yeah. if they're really need a box that badly, they should bring their own :P
<12> allison_1984: I have a partition tool called reddix partition my buddy wrote the program himself, so I guess I could use that to create another new partition.
<12> allison_1984: Thanks for your help btw.
<16> how do i add 1280x1024 to the list of available resolutions in the "screen resolution" preferences window!?
<4> yipe: I'm not sure that you wan't to upgrade yet, there's still A LOT of bugs to work out
<17> ohhhh
<17> okay
<0> tamale: what distro do you have?
<16> ubuntu breezy
<14> yes
<14> somebody help
<14> woooow

<12> Thanks all bye.
<18> whats that program .. discmount.. or something..
<19> Hi guys, what's the best way to get a public gpg key off my webhost, before I send them some documents ? Can I get it off a keyserver, or do I have to ask them for it ??
<0> tamale: that's what i've got and it's there.....
<15> milesblahblah: no h***les
<16> i know my monitor can do it
<16> it does it in windows fine
<16> but i added it manually in the xorg.conf and i still don't have the option
<15> milesblahblah: make sure you format the new partition with fat32 onlt and not ntfs
<17> did you reboot since then?
<0> tamale: there are like four 1280x* resolutions on my list.... oh, weird.
<18> xorg.conf.. where is that? :x
<4> Double_D: yea, Our school is thinking of supplying the school with laptops in the future (of couse they're going to be loaners so no linux ;-()
<20> how do I report bugs in ubunut
<17> I know you're not supposed to have to reboot but I had trouble with screen resolutions and it wouldn't add the option I needed until I rebooted
<0> tamale: that's kinda screwy. not sure what to tell you there.
<16> :\
<18> where is the xorg.conf file?
<10> allison: check out this link http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ for ntfs
<16> none of the guides on the forums help
<0> tamale: have you rebooted since you made the change to xorg.conf?
<16> yah
<16> several times
<21> !firefox1.5
<17> bugs are reported to https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bugs
