Comments:
<0> ozrg, use both and decide for yourself, most apps are interchangeable between the two
<1> ozrg> did you get your answer? lol
<2> wickers: I just change the resolution size, and make the icons a little smaller.
<3> Where does Synaptic save programs?
<4> I managed to force dapper to install onto my via 82c586 chipset based machine
<5> you could always increase the panel size...
<6> yes, got my answer thanks a lot! :))
<7> Celestianpower: in /var/cache/apt i would think
<6> but i have a problem when installing ubuntu
<4> after adding pci=noacpi and ide=nodma command line options at startup
<5> but that only changes the icon size of the panel icons, not the menu
<6> the canderas dos appears.
<8> So, what do you guys think about the proposed delay in dapper?
<4> but the installed system hangs on boot
<7> ozrg: ... the what does what? =)
<9> FlannelKing: delay?
<2> wickers: which would perhaps change the menu size. THose are all good ideas, though.
<4> any suggestions?
<10> wickers i dont see 'icon sisze'
<11> My ipod has a Backup/Movies directory. I also have a partition on my computer named Scratch where I save stuff that I can share between Windows and Linux. How do I set up rsync to keep the Scratch Movie directory up to date with the ipod Movies directory?
<1> FlannelKing> if it means that it will be more stable. I'm all for it :/
<5> whiter, yeah, I'm not sure...
<0> FlannelKing, I think that's a perfect discussion for -offtopic :)
<5> it should be simple.
<5> maybe in gconf
<8> tristanmike: I don't see how it would be offtopic.
<10> oh i see it
<6> when I try installing ubuntu, boot it from the cd, i get a dos screen which only allows me to type commands
<10> didnt work though
<0> FlannelKing, because this is strictly a support channel
<2> wickers: I do not expect it to be possible at all.
<7> FlannelKing: look at the topic, it says "official ubuntu support channel". is that a support question? :)
<10> ozrg, thats not a dos screen...
<1> FlannelKing> here is for help there is for talk :)
<8> psh.
<12> ozrg, try typing "startx"
<12> ozrg, with no quotes around it
<13> are you p***ing any boot commands? or are you just pressing enter?
<14> quick question for everyone: if i upgrade from hoary to breezy, will my home directory be overwritten?
<4> CrackersKeenan, no
<1> !upgrade
<15> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade. Upgrading to dapper (remember it may break). Please test the dist-upgrader -> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-January/014700.html.
<16> CrackersKeenan: no
<14> as far as i know i didn't put /home on a different partition
<6> whiter: what is it then? they have told me that it has nothing to do with linux.. would typing startx work?
<14> ok thanks looksasus andmosi
<10> ozrg i dont know, never tried the live cd
<7> is it just me, or the !upgrade factoid doesn't make much sense right now?
<6> its installation cd.
<10> they said it isnt a linux question because you said "dos"
<10> technically its a terminal
<3> Oh no
<11> ....
<1> ozrg> pop in the install cd and hit enter for the default installation
<16> CrackersKeenan: if you're really worried about it, just tar -cf /.home_backup.tar ~$LOGNAME
<0> ozrg, did you press "enter" at the boot prompt ?
<17> is there anyone familiar with cvs who can help a man that is about to lose his mind? please!
<6> i havent
<6> let me try that
<3> I just accidentally removed the applications, places and settings menus from my top panel
<6> ill commit suicide if that works
<3> How do I get them back?
<16> CrackersKeenan: er, no -f. tar -c /.home_backup.tar ~$LOGNAME
<1> ozrg> also good idea to read what is on the screen :)
<18> megaherz: I have a p***ing familiarity with it
<19> Celestianpower, right click, add to panel
<13> don't commit suicide
<6> ok thanks
<18> although the loosing one's mind thing is typical of cvs :p
<13> killall self :)
<0> lol @ BBHoss
<3> anto9us: Okay
<1> BBHoss> does that work?
<1> heh
<20> anyone know where i can download http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/vmware/Ubuntu-5.10.zip at? I am getting 2kb/s off ubuntu.com
<19> Celestianpower, add the menu bar
<17> I've been fighting for a couple of hours trying to setup a pserver that I could use locally
<13> if you have a program named self thats hooked up to your heart, yes
<17> I followed several tutorials and checked the docs without any results
<3> anto9us: Yay! Thanks!
<17> I always get Connection Refused
<4> hm, I have a system here that locks up hard after having installed just fine
<13> whats the problem
<13> megaherz
<20> anyone know where i can download Ubuntu VMWare Player Virtual Environment: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/vmware/Ubuntu-5.10.zip at? I am getting 2kb/s off ubuntu.com
<17> I try to setup pserver to access my local cvs repository
<1> !vmware
<15> Do they come in packets of five. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, IdleOne
<13> and you get connection refused>
<17> yup
<13> does local mean on the same computer
<17> yes
<13> hmm
<21> hi all, im a bit of a noob, and i need some help, what shud i do?
<19> quickblaine, just ask :)
<22> !help
<20> anyone know where i can download Ubuntu VMWare Player Virtual Environment: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/vmware/Ubuntu-5.10.zip at? I am getting 2kb/s off ubuntu.com
<1> quickblaine> start by asdking a question
<16> quickblaine: you should ask your wuestion so we can help you :P
<23> get a 9mm gun
<17> the steps seem very straightforward, but there may be something missing, I don't know
<23> and play around with it
<0> ask a question quickblaine
<23> until *something* happens
<24> !something
<15> bjornkri: What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<24> ah, just curious
<17> if I intended to just backup my code, I could use the command line
<17> but I'm developing on Eclipse, and I can't just use the local commands, it only supports rsh or pserver
<21> right, basically i installed ubuntu about 2 hours ago, expert installation cos i didnt wanna lose windows. for some reason it wont pick up my mouse and i have to use my trackpad (how do i fix that) and also, when i try to open a number of different apps, like add new apps and networking, nothing happens. i need networking to setup my wifi card
<13> try rsh to you local setup then
<20> anyone know where i can download Ubuntu VMWare Player Virtual Environment: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/vmware/Ubuntu-5.10.zip at? I am getting 2kb/s off ubuntu.com
<1> !tell quickblaine about mouse
<1> !tell quickblaine about wifi
<13> quit spamming champ
<17> could do that...
<1> !tell quickblaine about repos
<7> quickblaine: that, i think, is a consequence of you chosing the "expert" mode. the "expert" mode creates a root p***word, which interferes with the working of control panel applets
<17> I'll be back, after some swearing ;)
<13> ok
<7> quickblaine: by the way, as far as i know, "normal" install is definitely not going to destroy your windows.
<4> hm, I just wiped my parents' old debian machine and installed dapper, not without hickups
<21> thats what it said inside the CD sleeve
<25> Does Ubuntu have *any* NTFS write support. And if not does anyone know where I can go to impliment such a feature?
<26> could someone point me in the right direction for info on setting up an SMP kernel in a new ubuntu install? I can't seem to find a simple HOWTO. I'm running a dual PIII-800
<7> !tell quickblaine about root
<20> anyone know where i can download Ubuntu VMWare Player Virtual Environment: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/vmware/Ubuntu-5.10.zip at? I am getting 2kb/s off ubuntu.com
<1> skreet> ntfs is read only
<7> quickblaine: that site should explain you how to remove the root p***word
<4> -> had to throw undocumented pci=noacpi ide=nodma at the installer
<25> IdleOne: There has to be write support somewhere..?
<22> skreet, look for captive driver iirc
<0> quickblaine, that is poor wording
<0> quickblaine, on the sleeve that is
<1> skreet> no there doesnt ...ask windows about it
<4> the machine is installed now, but the kernel gives a hard lock in a very early stage
<4> any suggestions?
<21> soz about my wording lol, thanks very much all will check out the links now
<27> He meant the sleve's poor wording.
<27> *Sleeve.
<0> quickblaine, not your wording, the wording on the sleeve
<1> quickblaine> start with the repos one
<21> lol
<21> repos one? eh?
<1> repositories
<21> which one is that?
<1> universe/multiverse
<21> oh rite
<0> quickblaine, the "default" installation will let you choose where you want to put it, if there's something there, it will erase it, if you choose to put it on free space, your good to go
<21> should i just remove linux and do it agen?
<21> i havent installed anything new so there nowt lost
