Comments:

<0> wastrel: If you don't know what you are doing you might be inclined to, yes. But I think this subject is probably off-topic.
<1> Rambo3, wastrel, hold, sry
<2> ic56: Check your PM. I sent you a url a while back
<3> erich: how can I tell?
<4> Sh4d0: paste your /boot/grub/menu.lst on paster
<5> What's Ubuntu server like?
<6> well you didn't have to go disagreeing with me :p
<5> Why would I run Ubuntu Server on my servers instead of Gentoo?
<7> issy: if the kernel autodetects it, it has a valid fs on it. ;-)
<6> zquirM: because you like it better?
<8> zquirM, a console box with heaps of nice packages
<9> issy: if the floppy's filesystem type isn't recognized, then it *isn't* a normal floppy. It's either corrupt, unformatted, or a foreign filesystem.
<10> can somebody point me in the right direction of getting grub to recognize my windows install?
<5> like it better why?
<11> zquirM, chicks dig it
<6> i dunno, don't have to wait for ebuilds to compile



<5> the servers have no X windows
<12> where can i find themes for gnome?
<4> zquirM: apt
<3> erich: then obviously not; I got these floppies just today from bestbuy, the only ones there
<0> ompaul: Next time you shut down, when the Ubuntu logo comes up...check the status lines it prints out and see if it mentions bttrack.bittorrent.
<7> issy: well, most likely the disk is running fat12, so if you can't mount it with fs type "fat" the disk is maybe not formatted, a bootdisk (with no filesystem!) or broken
<13> NoUse: working great now thanks!
<1> ok im at bash for recovery
<14> LiteHedded no prob
<1> now what
<2> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ fdisk -l /dev/hda
<2> Cannot open /dev/hda
<8> ajax4, I do have a spare box on here beside me :-)
<2> Should I be worried?
<6> boha_: art.gnome.org www.gnome-look.org
<14> Stormx2 sudo
<7> issy: well, does the box say "preformatted"?
<3> erich: it's Fiji-brand floppy
<8> ajax4, shutdown comeing up
<12> wastrel, tnx
<4> Sh4d0: type startx
<3> erich: it says IBM formatted
<1> Rambo3 command not found
<15> Hey is Zope/Plone okay to install from packages on Dapper?
<16> on Dapper when I select Shutdown I get logged out instead. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there a fix?
<8> ajax4, it does say that
<9> issy: is this supposed to be a blank floppy? If so, then just format it.
<1> this is breezy badger, its the one with gnome
<0> ompaul: So what's that all about then?
<8> ajax4, I'll raise it with someone
<17> ajax4, I have seen that on shutdown since i upgraded to dapper 4 months ago, what the hell is that
<3> ic56, and how do I acheive this? it says it's IBM formatted on the box
<0> concept10: Yeah, that's what I was asking about...(just upgraded a week ago)
<8> ajax4, if I knew I would have said it already ;-) wait up a minute
<17> bittorrent shouldnt be a part of the default install
<9> issy: try: fdformat /media/floppy
<7> issy: then they should have a fat filesystem on them, actually. what does happen when you try to mount them?
<17> at least a tracker shouldnt be
<0> concept10: Well, according to synaptic its part of ubuntu-desktop. But yeah, the tracker part surprised me.
<16> concept10: when you shut down, does it make you log out first then shut down again?
<9> issy: no, that wont' work. what size floppy is it?
<3> erich, "mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified"
<3> ic56, standard 1.44MB
<9> issy: 3.5"?
<17> I dont want a bittorrent tracker running as a process by default
<17> calamari, no
<3> ic56, yeah
<6> i don't think one is running as a process by default
<0> concept10: That's the weird thing, I can't find it listed with the ps command.
<9> issy: how many floppy drives in your box?
<3> ic56, one, this I just hooked up
<16> concept10: so you hit shut down from gnome and it shuts down without any more steps?
<17> wastrel, why does it show during shutdown?
<18> hmmph, there appears to be no nvidia-cg-toolkit available in any of the dapper repositories
<4> Sh4d0: then use adduser
<17> calamari, shutdown is fine
<6> concept10: presumably there's a shutdown script for it
<16> concept10: okay thanks a lot :)
<19> can anyone help me with amavis?????
<14> concept10 why don't you just stop the tracker from running?
<9> issy: try: fdformat /dev/fd0



<17> NoUse, thats not the case
<7> issy: try giving "-t fat"
<1> Rambo3: adduser: the group 'shadow' already exists.
<3> ic56, well it's formating
<14> concept10 ok
<9> issy: there you go!
<0> ompaul: Can you detect that the tracker is even running on your system?
<3> ic56, heh, I take it I bough unformatted floppies then?
<8> ajax4, I am looking a little deeper into it
<20> Hey, can anyone help me set up a network printer?
<3> bought*
<6> there's no tracker running, it's just the shutdown script
<8> ajax4, I will be back it will take me a few minutes to dig around
<0> wastrel: Where is the shutdown script?
<2> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=195942 I updated some of the info... I still have no idea what to do though! :P (GRUB isn't loading)
<9> issy: either unformatted or the format became corrupted when you p***ed through the theft-prevention magnetic scanner at the store's door.
<6> locate bittorrent| grep rc
<20> Come on, ANYONE? Doesn't ANYONE know ANYTHING about setting up a freaki'n printer?!
<21> hello
<6> /etc/rc0.d/K20bittorrent & /etc/rc6.d/K20bittorrent
<21> is there a free alternative to 3D studio max?
<2> Tonren: Whats the problem?
<4> Sh4d0: then just change it with p***wd
<3> ic56, *raises fist to the heavens* damn you best buuuuyyy!!
<0> palomer: try Blender
<22> Stormx2, his freaki'n printer?!
<2> XD
<9> issy: :-)
<2> He seems to have gone anyway
<20> nostalg1c: you shut u!p XD
<2> Plus
<7> wastrel: thats stop scripts.
<23> is ubuntu usable on a 586? as in, is it not compiled for 686?
<2> I have like a million problems with this machine at the moment
<11> mngrif, right
<21> is blender as powerful as 3D studio max?
<3> ic56, uh-oh, it still can't mount it
<2> my printer is the least of my problems ;)
<24> anyone compiled gimpshop?
<25> mngrif: it shouldnt matter
<6> erich: i'm afraid i don't know the difference between a stop script & a shutdown script.
<9> issy: what command are you using to mount?
<2> samuli: Tried is breezy, and failed.
<20> Stormx2: My printer is set up on a wireless print server. Windows XP accesses it as a "local printer", port name IP_192.168.2.1, printer name/IP address 192.168.2.1, LPR protocol, port 515, Queue LPT1.
<8> ajax4, that is there in case your running one it is in 0 and 6 runlevels so it does not matter, in case it gets started in /etc/init.d so its not a problem
<9> Stormx2: I'm looking at your updated URL
<0> palomer: I don't know much about it but its free to try out and see :)
<3> ic56, mount /dev/fd0, giving me the same error about the filesystem type
<23> chapium, oh, it does. if a program/kernel is compiled for a 686-cl*** machine, it will NOT work at all on anything less
<2> ic56: Thanks :D
<20> Stormx2: In Ubuntu, I've enabled "Detect LAN Printers" in my Printer administration, but it isn't detecting it, and it won't let me manually specify the port, either.
<0> ompaul: You'd think it would print no message if it wasn't running.
<9> issy: try mount /media/floppy
<7> wastrel: the same... I didn't read your t-3 post.
<8> ajax4, its there to stop the torrent sweetly as far as I can see
<26> i have 2 drives, one with ubuntu, one with windows 2003, and i can't seem to get grub to boot windows
<27> mngrif: 686 kernel is usable for PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV
<26> is there an issue with grub and sata drives?
<23> Jowi, AMD K6-2
<2> Tonren: Seriously I can't help man. I'm on a live CD
<9> issy: try: mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
<3> ic56, same, should I try a different fdformat? like -t fat?
<2> Tonren: Ask at ubuntuforums.org
<8> ajax4, better than just stopping it mid flight actually shut it off
<20> Stormx2: Nuts...
<23> it's 586-cl*** :)
<9> issy: fdformat doesn't do filesystems other than FAT.
<0> ompaul: Okay, well thanks for looking into that for me :)
<8> ajax4, it is there for the day you use /etc/init.d/bittorrent
<2> righty-hoo
<27> mngrif: k7 kernel for AMD Duron/Athlon at least. is K6-2 one of those?
<3> ic56, "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0"
<2> I'm gonna go inspect my BIOS setup.
<28> ah, k6 was a very nice cpu, too bad most mainboards manufactured during its time contained faulty caps and are dead by now
