<1> mpathy: ah.. im not too sure about console :-/
<2> You installed edubuntu?
<0> no
<0> I installed ubunutu in the past with the same disc
<3> VoX: Error "Couldn't find package gunzip"
<4> Kamping_Kaiser, it doesn support "CPU frequency scaling". kindof scary :\
<1> phelan: what version of ubuntu are you using?
<3> Vox: I'm using Ubuntu v5.04
<5> when Im on ubuntu 5.04
<5> how to switch to newer?
<6> saian: yeh. not properly.
<0> Dtragcoen: is that an overlay over ubuntu? can I disable or remove it?
<1> 5.04? isnt that hoary?
<6> vox yes
<5> VoX: yea



<2> Hmm... That's funny, but I think you can fix it just by uninstalling the edubuntu-desktop package and installing the ubuntu-desktop package
<1> gah
<5> how to switch to 5.10?
<1> phelan: i havent used ubuntu 5.04 so i'm probably not much use here
<7> Okay, a question... what's in sys.devices folder?
<3> VoX: This was given to me a few months ago from some local boys, but they're never around when I most need them. :S:(
<2> edubuntu is another desktop variation package, like kubuntu, Jimmy.
<4> Kamping_Kaiser, i've even tried to upgrade the core to v6.04 with no luck.
<8> last night my computer was in 1024x768 and then when i turned it on this morning its in 640x480 and the preferences wont allow me to change to any other resolution. any ideas?
<5> noone can tell me how to switch to ubuntu 5.10 ??
<9> Help, I have a drive which used to be NTFS. I needed to write to it, so I fdisked it and reformatted as fat32. I changed the parameters in fstab, but it says the special device does not exist.
<6> saian: fraid that's outside my area (laptops) I'm afraid
<6> phelan: what's the problem?
<9> I used the lshw command and it shows as hdd
<1> Kamping_Kaiser: he's trying to install cedega on hoary
<10> hi. im trying to copy .ttf fonts into my "fonts://" directory.. but i can't do it even as root. how to get past this?
<2> I believe you can drop into recovery mode and change your repos list to breezy repos and the apt-get dist-upgrade to change from hoary to breezy, right?
<2> Someone verify that.
<3> Kamping_Kaiser: Attempting to install cedega, but the version given to me is in tgz format, and it won't extract for me on Ubuntu 5.04. :S
<6> VoX: oh kay.
<11> fonts:// is not a valid directory
<6> phelan: why don't you have the deb?
<12> what was that mp3 file name thing?
<2> gstreamer-mad
<12> I can't believe I forgot it again!
<10> anyone.. installing fonts help?
<2> *pats redblade* Take notes
<3> Kamping_Kaiser: Because I was told this version would work on here...which doesn't make sense to me, even with my limited knowledge of Linux
<12> lol I'm so glad you're to help
<12> and be generally amazing
<12> lol
<5> wtf
<2> Can anyone verify what I said about updating from hoary to breezy?
<6> phelan: if i was you, i would try the deb first
<5> noone can tell me how to upgrade to 5.10 from 5.04?
<13> I have kubuntu installed on a second pc networked to first, and using kvm switch. Network was set up and working, then I turned kubuntu pc off, and when I fired it up again, had to reset the network. How can I make it retain the settings
<5> Dtragcoen: Im asking that for over 5 minutes
<11> j2dope try /usr/share/fonts/truetype/
<12> raf that would be a downgrade
<2> raf, I had a suggestion, but I'm not sure it works.
<3> Kamping_Kaiser: Crap, I don't have it in deb format. :S:(
<2> redblade, no his syntax is right.
<12> oh sorry no it wouldn't
<5> radiodog: I ment 5.04 --> 5.10
<12> I misread what he wrote
<6> phelan: :/ bugger
<6> !upgrade
<14> The guide to upgrading to breezy (5.10) is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade
<12> sorry raf
<6> raf256: ^^ look at that
<2> raf, there we go. Read there.
<2> Thanks Kaiser
<2> I'll go read that to.
<9> Dtragcoen, I believe you just add the breezy repositories and upgrade
<5> how to check is there IHU for ubuntu?
<6> np
<2> Though i don't need to.
<15> Kamping_Kaiser: do you know where I can get the deb version of cedega?
<5> IHU is a voice chat http://ihu.sourceforge.net/download.html
<11> its pay software



<6> Protocol1: it's a download frojm their website
<11> but there was a trial
<3> Kamping_Kaiser: Do you happen to know the website addy for them?
<2> MASH, well I switched to dapper from breezy by adding the repos, but the first time I tried, it totally b0rked my system. The next time I did it in recovery mode without issues.
<15> i downloaded a demo version...but its not in deb format
<12> I feel like such a pest,
<9> what parameters do I use to mount a fat32 drive. I tried the one listed on the wiki, but it isn't working
<12> but know it can't find the file!
<6> Protocol1: um. transgaming IIRC
<6> brb. finding the bottle opener
<15> ok
<11> ill do a fresh install when dapper comes out
<9> Dtragcoen, there might have been dependency problems
<12> E: Couldn't find package gstreamer-mad
<2> Hmm...
<12> I wonder what could be wrong
<2> Um, no idea.
<6> Dtragcoen: and dapper is beta....
<11> redblade probably you dont have all the repos enabled
<2> Kaiser, that might be it. I ***umed I was runing something that interfered.
<6> Dtragcoen: maybe. it depends when you did the upgrade.
<2> No way to tell, now.
<2> :P
<2> Anyway, otherwise, the apt-get instructions are the same, but it appears you can do it from normal user mode.
<2> That's good to have verified.
<12> never mind I found it,
<12> I've gotta go see y'all later now
<16> hey anyone have a decent init.d script for postgresql?
<2> Great. Later redblade. Glad you found it.
<2> <_< ... >_> ... Gambit, I certainly don't.
<16> Dtragcoen, heh alright...
<3> Kamping_Kaiser: I went to Cedega's website and downloaded their trial, which is a shell script. I ran the dpkg -i command and it error. :S Wrong command probably. Any suggestions?
<17> yo sometimes when I open firefox in ubuntu, I browse to a site and then firefox just crashes and closes
<3> *errored
<17> any suggestions?
<18> Is there a way of finding which repository a package will be downloaded from without downloading?
<19> darth, have you looked at http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Java
<6> weedar: apt-cache show package
<2> blindside, What version of ubuntu are you using?
<7> {sighs} Okay... switching methods....
<18> Kamping_Kaiser, thank you very much ;)
<7> Does anyone know any good disk recovery tools?
<6> weedar: np ;)
<2> No luck, quinch?
<7> None at all.
<20> hello !
<21> Hi, Can someone help me with my sound problem
<17> how do I know what version I'm using?
<21> I can only have one application up
<21> which uses sound
<17> this is like day 2 for me and linux
<21> at one time
<17> so bear with me
<17> 5.9
<2> Dang. Do you know the exact name of a file that was only on the missing drive? you could run 'cd /' then 'find -iname '*<filename>' and see if you get it.
<6> b|1ndside: sorry, what was your problem?
<21> Can someone help me and my sound please :P
<17> I will load up firefox and after browsing to a few sites, firefox will crash
<17> and just close on whatever site I'm looking at
<6> b|1ndside: which version of ubuntu
<17> 5.9 I think
<2> System -> about ubuntu should tell you. Whether it's hoary, breezy, or dapper
<6> b|1ndside: no such version
<17> I was having problems and I did a recovery to 5.9
<17> :-D
<17> how do I find out what version I'm using?
<6> b|1ndside: go to help _> about firefox in firefox and see what the version is
<2> Try going system -> about ubuntu
<17> Welcome to Ubuntu 5.10, Breezy Badger!
<6> open firefox, the home page tells you about ubuntu
<2> Lots of ways.
<6> so your running firefox 1.0.7 unless you have backports
<7> Dtragcoen, who, me? I've tried about a dozen searches... filename, size, the works. Only thing I can pull up is some stuff in .Trash from when I started copying, aborted, and deleted the files before I... I'm not sure, really. Some preparation or other, I think.
<17> I havent changed firefox
