Comments:
<0> have you made sure all your jumpers and stuff are correct
<0> somewhere on sourceforge, i'll grab a link
<1> volCOM_b0i, crashed once and that was while trying a some screensaver
<2> It gives me a list of about 6 ubuntu options... different kernels and safe modes.. and then one for XP, but I didn't have XP when I did that. I think there was a bug...
<1> pefectly stable otherwise
<0> http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2.html
<2> Mosi: I think it looked at my IBM thinkpad 'recovery partition' and thought that it was XP.
<3> I found that it crashes when I am holding SHIFT for capitals
<4> j-linux: is the background blue, or black?
<0> err wait
<2> Mosi: black... regular white-on-black terminal (no graphics)
<0> here http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd
<4> j-linux: does it say either GRUB or Lilo anywhere in the menu or title?
<2> Mosi: I think so. I've done so many linux installs that I can't remember which one I have. Whatever the standard Breezy bootloader is...
<5> good luck on those driver, remember that it is still development... might mess with your e2 partition
<4> i don't know Lilo very well, but i'm sure it wouldn't be hard to figure out with google... i think Breezy uses GRUB by default, but i don't know because i'm on PPC and PPC uses Yaboot (pain in the ***) :(
<4> anyone know what the default boot loader is for Breezy? is it GRUB?
<6> Yes, Ubuntu does use GRUB by default.
<4> thanks
<3> GRUB
<2> nhaines: Grub? I just looked on google and got this page: http://www.nerdylorrin.net/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=BootLoader
<2> says lilo (?)
<6> It's mistaken. It does use GRUB by default.
<2> But I think I remember it being grub... can't remember
<3> /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
<6> Yes, that's the file.
<4> j-linux: i'm pretty sure ubuntu uses GRUB, i dunno why that page says not
<2> Lots of junk out there on the web...
<3> just search the wiki at ubuntu.
<0> it uses grub unless you have XFS for your / or /boot partitions i am 99% sure
<2> So it must be grub...
<3> My breezy install is.
<2> Mosi: do you know how I can get into grub.conf if I can't find the hard drive?
<5> Grub is recommended and default for ubuntu, but it still allows LIlo to be installed...
<4> j-linux: try downloading the ext2 plugin for windows at this link:
<4> http://ghisler.fileburst.com/fsplugins/ex2fs.zip
<2> Mosi: or, maybe I will have to swap the hard drives, make the changes, and then swap again...
<4> j-linux: Windows should have autodetected it, so you can probably get to it no problem
<2> Mosi: or boot from an external CD drive and use Knoppix to do it.
<3> i edit my grub by editing, /boot/grub/menu.lst
<0> anyone know where one could find some sort of official "feature request" for ubuntu
<4> j-linux: your drive should be perfectly accessable, since if it were booting with NTLDR instead of GRUB you wouldn't even get the option to boot into linux, and windows doesn't use GRUB
<5> Whatsisname: : try its launchpad
<5> yeah what's th address of "ubuntu";s launchpad site?
<7> can anyone think of a way to get the background-busy pointer to show?
<4> it's just liked to the wrong name in GRUB, but it's still there and accessable i'd ***ume
<6> http://launchpad.net/
<2> Mosi: I don't have the option to boot linux... I have to go into the bios and change the boot order (but that is another problem to fix later)
<8> Hi I'm brand new to Ubuntu as of today, can someone help me run Xboard to play chess online?
<3> ohhh. j-linux, did you install windows after you installed linux?
<0> is xboard installed
<0> matthew
<2> volCOM_b0i: it's not a dual boot -- two separate drives.
<8> is the best way to install it from the website?
<8> i didnt see it in the apps list
<9> matthew
<9> simple
<10> you need a chess engine as well as xboard
<3> hmm.. I use grub to boot from two different hard disks on my desktop.
<9> open a terminal
<5> nhaines: : the micro site of ubuntu bug report. etc... anyways that's a good hint
<4> j-linux: if you have Knoppix, boot into that so we can IRC while you work on it :)
<11> could anyone help me with a labtec webcam?
<9> type "sudo apt-get update"
<11> it freezes my system
<9> and then type "sudo apt-get install xboard"
<8> ok i updated them
<10> you need a chess engine as well as xboard
<2> Mosi: well... I have a knoppix disk with me (always carry one), but I have no more CD drive because I put this ultrabay thing in it :S I'm at a cafe for the Internet access... :S
<9> off course without the the quotes
<4> volCOM_b0i you can boot to different drives from one GRUB, but if he put windows on the other drive then it wouldn't have been overwritten by NTLDR, is all
<8> can i use it without an engine, just to connect to the internet chess club?
<6> Healot: well, that's Malon, but it's there too. :)
<10> and don't forget the extra pieces
<4> j-linux: oh, bummer :(
<2> Mosi: I wish I had put puppy linux on my thumb drive..
<12> Hi. Does anyone know where I can find printer drivers for my Canon MP760
<3> yeah, could he reinstall grub to overwrite it?
<2> Mosi: if I had a choice to use Knoppix, I would definately be using it right now :)
<9> matthew, apt-get install gnuchessx
<8> matthew@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install xboard
<8> Reading package lists... Done
<8> Building dependency tree... Done
<8> Package xboard is not available, but is referred to by another package.
<8> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
<8> is only available from another source
<8> E: Package xboard has no installation candidate
<3> or set his linux drive as the master and then edit his menu.list manually for windows?
<10> must be in universe
<4> j-linux: lol, i was wondering. umm.... yeah. go get that plugin for windows. without that we can't get to your grub.conf.
<9> matthew, you need to change your apt sources.list then
<13> matthew, pastebin next time!
<6> volCOM_b0i: you wouldn't wnat to change the way the drives are set.
<13> !info xboard
<14> xboard: (An X Window System Chess Board.), section universe/games, is optional. Version: 4.2.6-2.1 (breezy), Packaged size: 377 kB, Installed size: 1644 kB
<8> i dont know how to pastebin :)
<13> !tell matthew about pastebin
<9> pastebin.com :)
<10> !tell matthew -about paste
<6> But if he makes the Linux drive bootable, then he can configure GRUB the right way.
<2> Mosi: is there a plugin?
<13> !tell matthew about universe
<4> j-linux: yeah, i gave you the link. let me find it agian
<2> Mosi: sorry I might have missed that part of the conversation
<3> oh, i see, thanks. I may need that info one day!
<4> http://ghisler.fileburst.com/fsplugins/ex2fs.zip
<4> j-linux no worries
<8> so whats my next step?
<10> crafty is the best chess engine imo, with the medium sized books
<8> I need to run this in universe?
<10> enable universe matthew
<10> no you need to enable universe
<2> Mosi: ok got it... will install now.,
<15> The universe...
<8> ok i'll try
<4> j-linux: ok, let me knwo when it's done
<4> does anyone here know if it's possible to mount ext2 filesystems in windows with Cygwin?
<16> okay i'm trying to get my wifi card to work in ubuntu... i had the problem with ndiswrapper in breezy, have the same problem using the firmware and fwcutter in dapper, but had it working fine with ndiswrapper in gentoo... it will let me connect to my home router but nowhere else. it scans and sees stuff fine, but it won't connect.
<2> Mosi: what is total commander? Do I need to download that also?
<16> Mosi not sure, but there are windows drivers available to mount them in windows
<0> Mosi
<15> transgress: : it works the same in ubuntu...
<0> just use the ext2 file system driver I linked to
<17> how do i unpack tar,bz2 files
<0> i've used it, it works perfectly
<16> KakiPukul what do you mean?
<4> j-linux: i'm not sure. i don't use windows, so i've never used that. i got the link on this page: http://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm
<0> DCCole: man tar
<15> DCCole: , bunzip2 filename
<0> type that command and learn to use tar
<17> thanks
<2> Mosi: ok... I think I have to download this other shareware program also.. .just a min...
<6> KakiPukul: Ubuntu may use different versions of ndiswrapper.
<4> j-linux: wait
<4> j-linux: i just found the link whatsisname gave me, try it instead: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2.html
<16> the big difference i notice with ubuntu and gentoo is that with gentoo, my wifi card power button worked... the light stayed on when i had ndiswrapper loaded... it doesn't in ubuntu... not in breezy or dapper. and it's two different programs doing it...
<12> does anyone know where I can find additional printer drivers to use with Ubuntu 5.10?
<15> julian: www.linuxprinting.org
<3> are you connecting from the command line trans?
<17> that doesnt help me any
<2> Mosi: wow... I didn't know this existed... downloading now...
<16> volCOM_b0i command line, wifi-radar, and the networking applet
<12> KakiPukul Thanks. I'll give it a try
<4> j-linux: three cheers for sourceforge :P
<3> iwlist wlan0 scan, iwconfig wlan0 essid (network name), dhclient wlan0.... that is what i do
<3> all SU of course.
<15> julian: : it is not the ubuntu official drivers. but it may have the latest drivers for some newer printers out here
<16> volCOM_b0i i tried that. dhclient is the only thing that fails.
<8> ok i'm reloading packages now from universe
<18> hi, -:)
