<0> someone knows how to set windows xp by default in the dual boot instead of ubuntu??? i tried sudo edit /boot/grub/menu.lst but didn't work
<1> Noside, did you actually change anything in menu.lst?
<2> _jason: Why isn't that the default? to be in the audio group?
<0> nope
<1> Noside, you have to edit the file to specify which option you want to be the default.
<3> of p***ing observation, sudo rm -rf / does not remove all files from the system. but it does make un-usable
<0> is just that i don't know how to change it
<4> MrKubuntuUser: your default user should have a bunch of groups he is in. When you create a new user, you need to ad dhim to those groups
<5> patrick52222, hrm. seems I'm mistaken
<1> Noside, if you read the file it tells you what you need to do
<1> Noside, there's a 'default X' line, where X is the number of the OS which is the default.
<0> ahh ok
<4> MrKubuntuUser: if you used the gui, then I guess it would be good behavior to automatically include those same groups
<1> Noside, so if you figure out which number XP is and replace 0 with that, you'll boot into XP.
<6> how can I give eclipse more memory?
<7> trappist: it worked
<8> hello, i accidently unticked "Applications" on the menu editor, and now my "Applications" menu won't work, how do i fix it?
<2> _jason: Yeah, I used the GUI in KDE
<0> ok
<0> but where do i find that file??
<0> to change it??
<4> MrKubuntuUser: might want to search malone to see if anyone filed a bug on that. I would if it wasn't one
<0> i have one day usung ubuntu
<5> Noside, sudo edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
<1> Noside, at a command prompt, type 'sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst'
<1> Noside, then type your p***word
<9> brentd: good deal
<2> _jason: What's malone?
<10> njan are you running dapper ?
<11> is there a way to compile the sources of a package downloaded with 'apt-get install source <package>' with different ./configure options and then get also the .deb built automatically?
<4> !bug
<12> bugs are reported to https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bugs
<1> rhalff, nope, breezy.
<3> MrKubuntuUser bug site
<10> ah ok
<1> rhalff, if I wanted a linux distro which broke, I'd run gentoo. :-P
<10> njan, dapper isn't really that broke
<0> it says> # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS
<0> # on /dev/hda1
<0> titleMicrosoft Windows XP Professional
<0> root(hd0,0)
<0> savedefault
<13> do any 1 know any electrics simulator in ubuntu ? any spice software ?
<0> makeactive
<0> chainloader+1
<5> Noside, use pastebin pls
<14> Noside, it seems you're trying to do the same as me?
<0> sorry
<1> rhalff, from what I can see it's pretty good, actually - I just use my OS for work, I want something that just works, which is precisely why I stopped using gentoo, I had to spend too much time fixing my laptop because of stupid packaging issues, and it looked really unprofessional.
<15> does anyone know why gnome apps launch really slow in fluxbox?
<0> nwe at this
<10> njan, yes, maybe I should switch back again also, it doesn consume a lot of time most of the time.
<14> Noside, your menu.lst probably is the same as mine too? (http://pastebin.com/658088)
<1> Noside, read the top of the file, it's self-explanatory - "Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0"
<0> are you trying to set win xp by default???
<16> so, hi. ....does anyone know a command or program i can use to search for duplicate files on a hard drive? these are music files and some of them have been recorded more than once. thank you in advance.
<14> I'm just trying to get windows XP to work in the grub menu.
<9> GMachine_24: google for fdmf (find duplicate music files)
<1> Noside, look at the different entries at the bottom of the file - the one you pasted us was the XP entry. Count up from 0 and figure out what the number for your XP entry is, and substitute 0 for whatever the number is on the 'default' line.
<17> anyone have an idea why a breezy i386 install would take 1+ days to install on an athlon 2600+ w/ via chipset?
<16> trap: for real?
<16> oh.
<16> i did that.
<1> rhalff, :).. I'm looking forward to dapper, I have to say. Some of the goals are really quite ***y.
<9> GMachine_24: it will find them regardless of encoding differences, file format, size, etc.
<18> hello all
<16> ok
<19> Seveas: hi, can you tell me about skype please? although i've installed it i cannot get it to work properly
<1> hi lotv
<17> hi lotv
<16> trap: i will try it. thank you.
<18> i got a problem with amd64 version of breezy
<20> livingdaylight, I know next to nothing about skype
<17> what's the prob lotv?
<18> i updated/upgraded to latest versions, installed nvidia-glx nvidia-settings
<9> GMachine_24: it can be a little tricky to use. the version on the guy's website uses mplayer with an invalid option that needs to be corrected.
<21> livingdaylight, problem with audio ro something else?
<10> njan, xgl is nice, but it doesn't play together well with vmware it seems
<19> Seveas: oh, k, sorry. someone said you had a wiki on it or something
<18> and then i try to restart x (ctrl+alt+backspace) but i get an error then
<1> rhalff, figures - I had a hard enough time getting vmware to work in breezy initially, and I rely on vmware quite heavily for what I do.
<18> it says something about not finding some cyrillic fonts and stuff
<18> any idea what the matter is/
<19> duelboot: yep, it'll call once but the other side dont pick up and then my skype is jammed and i cannot redial
<21> livingdaylight, sorry not familiar with that prob...
<16> trap: ok so what do i do about this bug?
<14> I would like help with GRUB: I installed windows on a slave drive and it won't work when I add it manually to my menu.lst
<19> duelboot: ok, how did you install yours. I just installed the .deb file
<17> lotv... did you do a kernel upgrade as well?
<18> erm
<18> i think so yes
<19> duelboot: are there differnt versions?
<17> have you tried just restarting, not just restarting x?
<9> GMachine_24: a) let me know when you get to it and maybe I can help b) it helps if you use my full nick so I get a hilight when you say something to me
<22> do you need to Defrag Linux partions
<18> erm no
<19> duelboot: don't understand why everyone else gets it working on Linux except me it seems
<21> livingdaylight, same and don't know the answer to the second...presume there are several
<18> we actually did a hardware upgrade here
<23> hi, who use initNG?
<18> and the previous breezy installation had the same problem
<18> did a clean one
<0> very confuss guys
<3> initNG is evil
<19> duelboot: have you got a special hardwar kit to call? i just got one with the jack going into the headphone plug of the computer
<17> normally if you upgrade the kernel using synaptic you need to reboot the whole system
<5> Noside, ?
<0> because linux is set with the number 4
<16> trappist: ok, gotcha. as an aside... someone needs to teach the ups and fedex drivers how to knock so they don't scare the crap out of me every time they come with a package.
<21> nope...same here...does your mic work with other programs (may not be relevant question)?
<0> and windows with 0
<18> trappist??? athos here
<9> lotv: where do I know you from?
<17> also lotv... what apps are you running under amd64? you might want to try the i386 version instead...
<3> initNG is intended to make sysvinit obsolete sysvinit is far from obsolete.
<19> mic??
<18> trappist: just a beer-joke (d'oh)
<9> oh :)
<19> duelboot: do you put one in the mic and the other in the headphone?
<18> BadKarma_: the previous installation was an i386 one
<5> Noside, pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst
<21> livingdaylight, microphone...used to transmit voice :)
<18> ok
<18> gonna do a reboot
<0> i did it
<18> but that aint gonna solve a thing
<14> If windows is on the master boot volume , and I want to have GRUB as bootloader to allow me to use my Ubuntu. How could I do this?
<19> duelboot: ooops
<21> livingdaylight, yes I have one jack for headphone and one for mic
<1> martyn, lotv, strictly speaking you don't have to because the filing system is fairly efficient at organising itself, but you can do it.
<21> livingdaylight, you need to ensure they both work prior to using Skype
<1> http://e2compr.sourceforge.net/attic/defrag.html
<13> !electrics
<21> can you PM me your skype name and I can try to call?
<12> mephis1987_: Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<13> !spice
<12> My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, mephis1987_
<24> I'm getting the most worthless error message when I try to use growisofs to create/burn a DVD I authored with dvdauthor: "write failed: input/output error." ANy ideas? strace shows an "Illegal seek" but nothing much more helpful
<19> duelboot: hmmm...will try that, but how to test. Its a new box so everything should be working
<1> martyn, lotv, unfortunately that tool only works on ext2, though, so to use it with ext3 you'd have to downgrade it.
<21> livingdaylight, not necessarily with audio...
<13> !simulator
<12> No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, mephis1987_
<25> does anyone know what patch is needed to get usplash working on a vanilla kernel?
<21> livingdaylight, my box is less than 1 year and have had audio issues (fixed now)
<5> !tell mephis1987_ about fishing
<19> duelboot: how do you test mic?
<19> i know headphones work coz i could hear it dialling
<14> Could anybody help me? If windows is on the master boot volume , and I want to have GRUB as bootloader to allow me to use my Ubuntu. How could I do this?
<21> livingdaylight, use the soundrecorder
