Comments:

<0> bootlick, a number of people are having this problem.
<0> JohnsonE, a lot of things don't.
<1> did you get sound from that track ?
<0> SAM_theman, are you in a terminal window in the GUI?
<2> terminal i n the gui
<2> clear
<3> mcpowley: I restate: Any process running on a computer is subject to exploitation of one sort or another. That answer your question? ;)
<0> SAM_theman, can you please restart the terminal and try again?
<4> joe mama
<2> I did
<5> Fujitsu: thanks for the link ... java is now working
<2> like 40 times
<0> No problem, river.
<6> SAM_theman, as the original installer (p***word entered during the install) : sudo gedit will work. If not, you have reall, serious issues
<0> SAM_theman, have you made any changes to your X configuration?



<7> I just installed 6.06 and my MA111 is failing with "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
<2> yup
<0> nickrud, not really...
<4> mcpowley: you can buy books on linux basics, yes.
<2> then i reconfigured it
<8> hello, i've 100gb hd but when it's mounted only 50gb is seen, anyone knows why? thanks
<2> with dkpgrec....
<9> Hey all I've a dapper system (many actually but only two I use for playing videos) and playing videos on them both is off... audio and video don't sync regardless of the video or video player.
<0> SAM_theman, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
<0> *?
<2> i did
<10> kmyth, use fdisk and look at how its partioned.
<0> Induane_, that's somewhat common.
<4> kmyth: you'll also want to check the forums and maybe post in the forums for this problem.
<9> One system is a laptop with an ati card the other is a desktop with an nvidia card.
<0> SAM_theman, hmm.
<3> mcpowley: If you don't know exactly what is going on with a piece of software, keep hidden behind your firewall. There are good *nix commands to see what a certain process is doing on your box. netstat is one for example. Once you know what a program is doing, then you are well equipped to use it.
<2> let me try again
<0> SAM_theman, can you please try to reconfigure again, and accept the defaults?
<8> fdisk/cfdisk shows one XFS partition with 100gb
<9> Fujitsu are there fixes for it?
<7> it worked fine on sarge with linux-wlan-ng
<11> So daper alternate ISO is buggy as is the normal install
<2> yeah stop gdm to?
<9> the problem didn't exist in hoary.
<12> the /var/cache/apt/archives dir is just the actual .deb files you pull during upgrade right? (like on debian)
<13> I have tried installing java through add/remove - the java web start package.. It didn't install in firefox -why??/
<0> Induane_, it depends, I'm not really sure.
<3> NoWhereToTurn: In what respect for you?
<2> brb then
<0> SAM_theman, yeah.
<2> ok
<4> anyone know of a keyboard that requires VERY LITTLE force to trigger a key press?
<14> NoWhereToTurn: I had problems with the normal install ISO, but the alternate worked fine
<0> kholerabbi, that's the wrong package.
<0> kholerabbi, please install flashplugin-nonfree.
<9> Fujitsu is it an xv problem or some sort of overlay issue?" I've tried forcing xv but no effect.
<0> drumline_, that's not really on topic.
<3> drumline_: I have heard those cloth styles have some light press alternatives.
<7> drumline_: the kinesis ergonomic keyboards are good
<6> Fujitsu, so this is not just a sudo issue then
<15> anyone, two quick questions: how do i run a script at shutdown, and what command can be used in a bash script to copy a file to a givin location whenever its modified?
<0> nickrud, no.
<16> mcpowley, I would, however, install anti-virus anyway....while I can understand what the others are saying on here, simply ***uming one can get smart enough not to need it is like saying I don't need a seat belt because I drive smart and don't get in accidents...sooner or later, things happen
<17> Has anyone compiled firefox 2 from cvs sources with ubuntu?
<0> nickrud, looks like X is just being stupid.
<11> <3> NoWhereToTurn: In what respect for you? <-- in that I can not get past the friggin partitioner
<10> drumline_, theres some very high quality keyboards out. (like that 'daskeyboard' or its original form with letters on the keys) that may be what you want
<0> cesperanc, I'm sure somebody has.
<11> Why am I am getting "Not yet implemented" This ext2 file system has a rather strange layout! Parted can't resize this (yet).???
<6> Fujitsu, glad you were here :)
<1> linux is fine, and will be much better as time goes on
<14> NoWhereToTurn: I have the same issue with the standard installer
<11> thats the lastest problem
<3> Geoffrey2: Ultimately, the nature of a virus and the stopping power of a checker though means you are practicing far worse security related issues on your machine.
<0> NoWhereToTurn, it's because it's an unclean ext3 volume.
<14> NoWhereToTurn: the partitioner on the alternate CD worked fine though
<3> NoWhereToTurn: What exactly happens if you can recall?
<0> NoWhereToTurn, you probably need to run fsck on it.
<18> nowheretoturn, gparted can not resize any partition that is currently mounted.
<17> Fujitsu: Well I'm getting some errors with xft, that I can't resolve



<9> NoWhereToTurn I think that means your partitions aren't in chronological order - I.E. hda 1 2 and 3 aren't ordered 1 2 and 3 on the disk
<0> nickrud, hehe. Thanks :)
<0> Induane_, not at all.
<3> NoWhereToTurn: Ignore me... you have tons of helpers already :)
<15> how do i run a script at shutdown?
<0> Induane_, that's irrelevant.
<13> Fujitsu - flash? It intalls java too
<11> Induane_ ok that may be
<13> ??
<0> kholerabbi, Oops.
<10> roostishaw, you mean log out..or when the system shuts down?
<9> Pretty sure its an issue
<12> is it bad practice to just ln the apt archives to /dev/null, to keep the space free? (note this computer is used almost solely for web browsing)
<0> kholerabbi, my mistake >_<
<9> I had a bug report about it. and I know cfdisk can't handle that at all
<4> Fujitsu: oh I'm sorry... I thought my dark lord of the sith could protect a thermal exhaust port that's only 2 meters wide!!
<12> or is that too bad practicie.
<19> I just upgraded from Breezy to Dapper, and now my existing user is logged out automatically as soon as the desktop loads. Users created after the upgrade can log in fine. No luck on the forums; any ideas?
<0> ubotu, tell kholerabbi about java.
<10> gnat_x, you mean the .debs that apt-get caches?
<15> Dr_Willis, when it shuts down...
<0> Parden, drumline_?
<20> I've been reading that using alien to make debs from rpms could be damagerous as it could create problems.. what sort of problems?
<3> varg: Have you checked malone?
<4> Fujitsu: are the topics really run strict here?
<12> Dr_Willis: yea /var/cache/apt/archives
<0> varg, logged out? Does X die, or what?
<0> drumline_, yes.
<18> snoops, installs things in the wrong places.
<16> troy_s, um, not sure I understand you...
<10> Snoops, oddities when updating packages. and dependencie issues.
<0> drumline_, this gets excruciatingly busy at times.
<4> Fujitsu: gotcha... wilco
<20> hmm fingers crossed this doesn't do anything dodgy then
<19> troy_s: not yet, hadn't heard of it.
<0> Hi again, JohnsonE.
<18> snoops, things that install in redhat do not neccessarily install in the same place in ubuntu
<19> Fujitsu: it returns to the log-in screen
<0> varg, odd.
<3> Geoffrey2: I mean that by using a virus checker as a net, you have probably already violated many security principles to let it get to the point of being caught.
<21> any word of drivers for logtiech keyboards/mice? i want to use the extra features on them in linux =\
<10> varg, create a new clean user - and see if it works for them. If so. your existing gnome configs for the older user may be the problem
<13> Fujistu: thanks
<22> I'm having trouble finding out how to have ubuntu turn my monitor off after a certain period of idleness
<3> ubotu, tell varg about bug
<0> JohnsonE, features like what?
<19> Dr_Willis: Done, and yes. But what?
<20> it ****s not being able to find a deb amd 64 version of xvidcap then :(
<18> snoops for some things its okay to do, but nothing that gets upgraded.
<11> Now it is complaining about yet another ext2 partition which it has nothing to do with ubuntu
<1> windows vista beta, gives me the same amount of trouble as linux, things not working, searching for drivers,
<19> troy_s: thanks. :)
<21> fujitsu: media buttons, double click button, etc.
<3> JohnsonE: What extra features?
<1> why cant we just stick to one os
<0> bootlick, nice.
<10> varg, so it works for the new user but not the old? if so.. move/delete/rename the .gnome* config dirs. so they get remade fresh and from the defaults.
<3> bootlick: Well spoken
<18> bootlick, why not just give all of your money to one company??
<18> bootlock, because they get lazy.
<0> varg, try what Dr_Willis said.
<3> bootlick: The difference in this community is that everyone encourages people to learn and educate, not point and click to further stupidity.
<18> bootlock, competition is an advantage.
<19> Dr_Willis, Fujitsu: in progress. :)
<23> bootlick, sounding like a prime apple candidate
<23> here have $5000
<0> Yep, troy_s.
<1> how about giving my money to a linux help forum
<3> Fujitsu: amen.
<18> bootlick, if only one company produced cars, would there be any inovation, or any real quality control?
<1> techs solving problems
<3> thomasM: A computer is NOT a car, nor even close.
<24> <1> windows vista beta, gives me the same amount of trouble as linux, things not working, searching for drivers, - but on vista you have the problem that you cannot access the system in such a deep level as under linux
