Comments:
<0> i always ended up installing ubuntu again again.
<1> Anyone know where I should troubleshoot my laptop display issues? In power management I have the display set to sleep after it's been inactive for 5 minutes...but it doesn't
<2> does ubuntu have good facilities for wireless?
<3> nickrud: As in: Linux works on it just fine and doesn't cost too much.
<4> JohnsonE: check it is using the right output plugin
<5> ok gotta find the options for that..
<6> tux0010: ah. this is easily fixable. it takes some muckity-muck with the command line though. i don't remember the exact steps, but it involves chroot. i guarantee it's on the forums
<6> !mbr
<7> krazykit: Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<8> anyone know why the usplash howto doesnt work in dapper?
<3> nickrud: Most are linux geeks (as in: coders) but most _also_ can't be bothered needing to fiddle with too much stuff to make 'em work.
<9> krazykit: 4318 here too. Will see networks and lights up, but no connection any ideas?
<10> cafuego, a prime recommendation
<6> Chetwin: using the native driver or ndiswrapper?
<11> fcalise: recompile ton kernel avec suspend2
<9> ndiswrapper
<12> krazykit, yea :) chroot /dev/hdax && grub-install /dev/hdax
<12> thats what i have been doing for years
<13> tux0010: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
<6> tux0010: yep. you can use any livecd
<12> but for some reason doesn't work in dapper
<9> Actually both
<6> ubotu: mbr is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
<3> Just make sure you get yourself a higher end battery, so it'll run for ages
<7> krazykit: okay
<14> what's the command to run a program from the terminal, but not have the terminal window stick around after ?
<5> _jason: my output plugin is set to ALSA
<15> harry know your monitor refresh rates ? (http://monitorworld.com) then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg <--- set it up correctly and it will work.
<3> CokeNCode: programname & exit
<13> CokeNCode: The name of the executable and then a space and a &.. so example ./program &
<12> Consty, thanks
<14> cafuego, much thanks
<0> When i installed the nvidia drivers. after pressing ctrl-alt-backspace. after that i cant log in to my gui
<14> thanks Consty
<6> Chetwin: well, i use ndiswrapper exlusively. did you use the drivers from your windows install / driver cd?
<2> does the Alternate CD install differently than the Live installer? (As in, -what- gets installed, not the interface)
<16> B***etts: do you have a custom kernel?
<2> e.g. Gnome
<15> harry why ctrl+alt+bs ?
<8> sladen, no i have 686-smp installed from the repo
<0> intelikey: i was just like in the black screen terminal. i have no other alternatives besides to install again
<0> intelikey: yes
<17> Hey. How do I redirect stderr to stdout?
<3> CokeNCode: See also Alt+F2
<18> When burning the .iso do you burn it as a data or boot disc?
<6> rendo: burn it as a cd image
<19> sounds right
<18> Thank you.
<3> rendo: Right click the iso and select 'Burn to disc'
<19> he's gone
<0> intelikey: thats what the wiki said from the wiki for invidia
<3> 't was a dumb nero question anyway
<14> cafuego, .... ahhh . i was trying to find that ... plus i can't figure out where the "run as another user" went with 6.06
<19> of course
<8> you really miss installing from a live cd when you have to install windows vista, takes so long, compared to 10 mins to install dapper
<20> Is there a way that I can add all the repositories, just to make things easier for searching? Please PM me on to do this.
<15> harry did you try sudo rm $HOME/.*auth* && startx ?
<0> intelikey: no
<12> get errors such as disk does not exist
<21> getting an error trying to create a ext3 partition.. saying that file system was not cleanly unmounted
<6> ubotu: tell kibeth about repos
<0> intelikey: right now i'm upgrading again to dapper
<22> I am trying to set up apache2. I can access it on my computer, but nobody else can access it. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
<16> harry: press control-alt-F1
<4> ubotu: tell kibeth about repos
<0> intelikey: i only have a breezy badger install cd
<23> does anyone know where the mouse preferences are stored?

<0> intelikey: hav u ever experience the same thing. not being able tol log in graphically
<13> tux0010: np
<12> btw, anyone tried ubuntu on a macbook pro?
<10> schalken, /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and System->Prefs->Mouse
<25> what might cause thumbnails to fail recently, it used to work before, when i login remotly to my server?
<26> in Kubuntu, how do I view or add a local network?
<16> B***etts: so you've done a custom usplash?
<26> in Network Folders, it doesn't seem to bet here
<26> there
<8> sladen: i used the on in the forum post
<16> tux0010: Ubuntu will work. it's currently not possible to *install* it though
<16> B***etts: so you've done a custom usplash?
<23> nickrud: yes, I'm talking about the user's ones, I'm trying to reset them, so i need an actual file to replace.
<21> WHy is the install complaining about an non clean unmounted file system?
<8> sladen: i used the one in the forum post
<12> sladen, i see.....wouldn't it work under bootcamp? i mean the new firmware update adds a bios module
<15> harry i normally don't use a gui anyway. but in answer to your question, yes. normally the answer is get xorg setup correctly or else remove the authority files that you have missowned in your home dir.
<23> nickrud: user's preferences, I mean
<0> intelikey: after seeing all the error message, its says X server is turned off already. restart GDM when i configured it X server properly. after that i dont know what to do anymore
<10> schalken, k, a sec
<16> B***etts: is that a "yes, I have a custom usplash" ?
<12> and then we can simply install grub to the root partitoin of the linux drive and then use the efi bootloader to boot from that partition?
<27> I have my system running great.. on Breezy, is it really worth it to Update???
<8> sladen: yes, one thats attached to the forum post, not one i have made
<16> tux0010: hahahhaha.
<12> i would try it but my mbp has been fscked up 5 times
<25> lol dapper is the silver shine ver of ubuntu. seems i am used only to rusty old breezy where everything worked with no hastle
<13> ejvalles1980: very worth it.
<16> tux0010: in Bootcamp mode you don't get EFI
<12> i am gonna go get it exchanged for the 6th time tomorrow
<12> yea i know
<28> how do i create a permanent proxy, socks4 or 5 ?
<0> intelikey: so the best thing i did was to reinstall breezy and upgrade again to dapper
<12> i meant the firmware update
<12> b/c bootcamp is nothing but an ***istant
<16> tux0010: in Mactel mode, you don't get to boot off anything except HFS+
<8> sladen: but when i try and use it, i get no usplash
<24> I'm using ndiswrapper 1.17 and the version of wpa in dapper (4.8.3 i think). I didn't change any settings i can remember since it stopped working and have no idea why it has
<20> What's the repository file location?
<24> any hints would be appreciated
<16> B***etts: have you done sudo update-initramfs $(uname -r) ?
<25> kibeth: /etc/apt/sources.list
<0> intelikey: it took me half a day just to setup things i wanted. and after that what a waste
<20> Thanks.
<29> !repos
<4> kibeth: /etc/apt/sources.list
<30> Where can I find the min specs for Dapper? I'm would like to install it on a PII 350 is thats poss...
<7> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource.
<16> B***etts: have you done sudo update-initramfs -u $(uname -r) even?
<25> kibeth: use synaptic it is much easier
<24> i also have another (this) comp connected w/ wpa, so the router is working
<15> harry yes after you reconfigure x do "startx " or "sudo gdm " startx is better for that because you can watch for errors.
<27> I have my system running great.. on Breezy, is it really worth it to Update???
<16> garlaxel: it'll work, if you have lots of Memory, otherwise you'll want Xubuntu which is XFCE based
<8> no sladen
<25> ejvalles1980: no no no no no
<8> didnt tell me to in the forum post
<16> intelikey: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
<31> ejvalles1980, By your own admission, it's running great. Why bother changing it?
<14> what software can I use to burn an ISO on ubuntu ?
<15> sladen same as sudo gdm
<21> Can some help?
<16> B***etts: try that command
<16> intelikey: no, it's not
<27> farous: I feel like I'm lagging behind
<8> ok sladen, give me a minute, got vista installing in a vm
<8> taking longer than i expected
<6> CokeNCode: i think you can right-click on the iso in nautilus and have it burn, but i like k3b
<10> schalken, I'm looking over gconf-editor, it contains all the user gnome settings.
<15> sladen what ever you think man.
<0> intelikey: is that the command for fixing the errors. "startx" or "sudo gdm" on the black terminal screen???
<27> arafangion: I just feel like I'm missing on a few things
<5> ok my music problem was solved by a reboot
<5> but new question:
<25> ejvalles1980: better lag behind a week or month or two than waste your time chasing bugs
<24> can noone help meee??
<10> schalken, that's a question I haven't encountered yet
