<3> Building dependency tree... Done
<3> E: Couldn't find package fake-1.1.10.tar.gz
<3> root@denix:/home/denix/Desktop#
<4> chrisjw: you surely do. The p***word should have been set during install.
<1> i did
<5> ok back where im comfortable ;)
<5> _Mr__Denix_: dont paste in here
<1> i didn't set any p***word
<3> gnomefreak srry
<6> Seveas, could you send me that command again? (to run a script at shutdown i mean)
<7> ok solved
<7> modprobe usbmouse mousedev
<2> chrisjw, there are tools you can get to reset your p***word using a type of live cd
<8> you have to have an xp p***word
<5> roostishaw: read the page zenit gave you Seveas may be busy
<9> PLEASE, I have a Sound Blaste Extigy, it works well in ubuntu but it only uses 2 (front right & left) of my 5.1 speakers EVEN when a watch a dvd movie in dolby surround. any of you can help me with this?
<8> it doesn't allow you to not set one
<10> I just installed the latest Ubuntu on my Sata disk, where I also have a windows install. When booting from the sata disk, windows starts. When booting from my ide disk, grub starts letting me choose between windows and ubuntu, but neither work. I get a disk read error on both OSes
<4> roostishaw: sudo ln -s /path/to/script /etc/rc0.d/S99yourscript.sh
<6> sgnomefreak, i dont understand that stuff, thats why im asking...
<9> i don't know if a driver error or a misconfiguration
<1> do you know where i can find one?
<11> so to confirm, i can install off the live cd, right?
<6> zenit, thank you!
<12> Hello! Anyone know if it is possible to upgrade to dapper from breezy without reinstalling everything from cd? :o
<4> roostishaw: no problem, but if you get into trouble, read the page ;)
<13> howbag, it's not only possible it's the only way.
<13> use the upgrade manager.
<12> oh, but how? the update manager just points me to ubuntu.com
<13> update*
<5> howbag: gksudo "update-manager"
<4> chrisjw: this one works very well for resetting xp p***words, http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntp***wd/bootdisk.html
<12> thanks
<13> maybe you have to update the update manager.
<13> make sure you've updated everything you can in Breezy.
<5> howbag: if that doesnt work you need to change your sources.list file to read dapper not breezy
<1> well I don't even know what's happened exactly
<12> Ok, Ill give it a try, thanks!
<13> read the wiki before upgrading.
<1> where does GRUB install by default?
<13> it helps a lot!
<14> mbr
<2> master boot record
<1> ok
<15> Each HDD got it's own MBR?
<13> Kiko0123, only the one that boots.
<5> howbag: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && gksudo "update-manager" theres one full command to make sure everything is up to date before you use the update-manager
<1> so if I have windows XP installed on one hard drive and ubuntu on the other
<2> I need to uninstall grub and I have no way to boot from anything
<1> grub installs itself as the master boot record to load either XP or ubuntu?
<10> I just installed the latest Ubuntu on my Sata disk, where I also have a windows install. When booting from the sata disk, windows starts. When booting from my ide disk, grub starts letting me choose between windows and ubuntu, but neither work. I get a disk read error on both OSes
<1> so deoes GRUB overwrite anything?
<2> it overwrites the mbr
<12> thanks, gnomefreak! but where do I find the sources.list? (new to ubuntu :P)
<1> what MBR does XP use?
<16> sources.list is in /etc/apt/
<12> thanks
<13> there is a #grub channel, but I don't know if anyone's there.
<17> I just installed the latest kubuntu and it overwrote the MBR without so much as informing me :(
<1> tried it thanks
<1> no one replies :(
<0> whats the best pvr package to run in linux??
<5> howbag: gksudo "gedit /etc/apt/sources/list"
<16> chris: XP uses the Windows Bootloader, it install that on the MBR (mbr is a sector on your hard drive that has the boot loader)
<18> pvr?
<19> davvyk: http://www.mythtv.org/
<2> Spec: software to utilize a tv tuner card
<1> ok so now
<1> grub installed over that
<18> dvr?
<1> how do i reinstall it?
<1> can i do FDISK /MBR ?
<2> you use fixmbr or fdisk /mbr
<18> chris_: yes....or boot into safe mode and type "fixboot"
<1> i can;t
<1> i have no working mbr
<1> so i can't boot anything without a disk
<2> use the win xp disc
<1> if i could get into safe mode
<18> so boot off the windows rescue cd ... and type "fixboot"...
<1> my problems would be sorted
<1> can't
<20> hi
<1> can't
<1> i have no admin p***word
<21> Hello everyone
<18> eh, should go to a different channel for this anyways
<2> but you need the p***word, Chrisjw, which means that you need to burn a copy of one of those p***word stripping live cds
<18> this is #ubuntu
<1> even to do FDISK /MBR ??
<21> I have a question non-ubuntu oriented, but still Linux, can anyone help?
<0> does mythtv work with a terrestrial freeview tv card
<20> where would I put source files for X11 mouse themes
<18> ernz: try
<16> !ask
<22> For information on how to ask good questions please see http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html The more information you can give the better we can help you. If your going to give output of commands please use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
<20> or do I need to compile
<23> chrisjw fdisk /mbr is for win 98 and back
<16> ekp: install gcursors
<21> I am about to use Puppy Linux
<16> should make things simpler
<1> i thought that
<21> Because it is suited for older hardware
<20> apt-get?
<23> chrisjw you need to use fixmbr through xp recovery cd
<16> yea
<1> but some people told me
<21> Is there a way of getting openoffice onto it?
<18> ernz: i think puppylinux comes with oo.org
<24> I'm still struggeling to get my the configure script for a module to accept my kernel tree
<24> is there a subfolder in my linux source that contains the tree?
<21> Spec - Cool.
<21> I am especially fond of the .pup idea - Where the file is an installer
<21> I think it would make a superb Ubuntu addidion
<21> addition*
<25> good evening. i am currently installing ubuntu and have a question concerning installing a boot manager. can anyone help me?
<18> I believe there is a project with Ubuntu to create the ultimate package-handler
<20> <16>: gcursors in apt repositories?
<16> ekp: should be, atleast in universe
<26> how can I switch back to gdm?
<1> kevin1, can you talk in PM?
<20> Couldn't find package gcursors
<16> clinea: iirc, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
<27> davinci: just ask someone will know
<23> chrisjw use this channel... I don't use pm for help
<1> OK
<16> gcursor, w/o s at end?
<1> i need to fix my MBR
<28> in the dpkg reconfigure xorg stuff -- it asks what xorg modules I want -- some are on and some off -- should I enable them all, like it recommends, or leave them the way they are?
<29> I want to change my resolution to 1024 x 1080 in stead of 1024 x 768, but it is not in the list of screen resolutions, how can I change that?
<1> or make GRUB load windows XP
<16> chris: does grub work at all?
<1> but i can't use the
<30> i get problem with soundcard when i try to call my friends!
<1> erm
<1> Mastastealth it says error 21
<1> then halts
<26> Mastastealth: nice... thanks
<31> apt-get libwww-perl succeeds
<25> ok: i had debian with grup installed. ubuntu is on my "old" debian partition and i have windows xp installed. the grup is on the mbr, so how can I configure a boot manager which is able to boot both my new ubuntu and the windows?
<23> chrisjw do exactly as you were told... boot xp cd and use recovery console... since you don't know you're p***word you need a live cd to reset it
<20> <16>: is not in repositories.........I have all enabled
<31> But I don't get https LWP support
<26> now, what CLI is there to manage runlevels? like in RHEL I would do chkconfig
Return to
#ubuntu
or
