Comments:

<0> first user
<1> lkj1, sudo apt-get install build-essential
<2> And it won't let me install GCC because I don't have GCC.
<0> in visudo
<3> lkj1 you probably dont
<4> lkj1: Doesn't come with Ubuntu by default AFIK.
<5> skwid: what error'd? windows or grub?
<2> lol why no?
<6> grub
<2> *not
<6> amphi: invalid device requested
<3> lkj1 size?
<3> the DVD has it on there, the CD dont
<4> lkj1: 'Cause packages are binaries.
<2> ok
<7> ok i don't get it .. to change the highest refresh rate in ubuntu you have to do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver0-xorg' ... however every time i restart the gdm, it still forces 60hz on me. what am i doing wrong



<3> sudo apt-get install build-essential anyway
<3> Cell, wrong driver maybe
<1> skwid, did you setup the reference in menu.lst or how did you set it up?
<5> skwid: what do you mean, you changed the partition?
<5> skwid: do fdisk -l /dev/hda and pastebin it, perhaps
<6> amphi: well yeah that's why it's not booting anymore :)
<7> whiter: i've done it before on ubuntu with a previous motherboard.. the video card is the same as is the monitor. it can't be the driver
<5> skwid: huh?
<2> The sudo apt-get install build-essential doesn't work. It says: Depends: gcc (>= 4:4.0) but it is not going to be installed
<2> Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.0) but it is not going to be installed
<5> skwid: can you mount /dev/hda5 in linux?
<6> amphi: everything was working fine, then i changed my windows partition from primary to logical, and then grub wouldn't boot anymore, then i asked for help :)
<6> amphi: yes
<5> skwid: and all seems well?
<8> well i have an atheros chipset wireless card, and when i boot the live cd, it is detected and i can configure it, but during installation when i ran ifconfig -a it wasn't listed, i installed anyway and when i log in, it says that it can't connect to ubuntu and that it may cause problems with gnome, and when the desktop loads, i can't run the network configuration or sudo
<5> skwid: you see the legacy os's files?
<6> amphi: http://pastebin.com/714674
<6> amphi: yes
<2> Wait, now it seems to be working
<8> i ran ifconfig -a and curiously, it lists ath0
<7> can somebody walk me through changing the highest refresh rate in ubuntu to see if i'm ****ing up somewhere?
<9> CellFish, maybe change the vert and horiz rates for monitor
<7> noiesmo: still in the configuration program?
<5> skwid: heh, hda1 disappeared, huh?
<1> shasbot, I have an atheros card, but it got picked up out of the box. Can you copy the good known working config while booting the LiveCD and then implement it? :-)
<2> Yay! Now I am building Fluxbox with my newly installed GCC!
<9> CellFish, here's a copy of my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/714679
<10> er
<6> amphi: yep ... :(
<10> fluxbox is in the repos...
<2> Uh, oh.. configure: error: Fluxbox requires the X Window System libraries and headers.
<5> skwid: grub doesn't care, the first logical partition is (hd0,4) regardless of how many primary partitions there are
<9> CellFish, i edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf didn't use config program
<8> cdubya, maybe that would work, but i do not know what files to copy
<2> It is? It says it couldn't find the package, spikeb
<6> amphi: hda1 was my primary windows partition, it got moved to logical hda 5 into primary hda2
<5> skwid: moved?
<1> shasbot, hang on
<10> lkj1: it's in universe
<6> amphi: well, i moved it with partition magic
<2> Wait. Now it says: E: Package fluxbox has no installation candidate
<5> skwid: ah... perhaps a source of regret...
<6> yes :(
<2> Do I need to enable universe?
<10> lkj1: yeah
<11> !tell lkj1 about fluxbox
<1> shasbot, do you have anything in /etc/network/interfaces referring to ath0?
<5> skwid: windows doesn't like being moved around, AIR
<6> amphi: yep
<10> windows doesn't like anything
<6> amphi: but what do i do now :(
<5> skwid: you should experiment in the grub shell, and see what gives you the error
<8> cudbya, ii dont know, im booted into windows currently
<1> shasbot, ewwww......
<1> heh
<6> amphi: hum, can you give experiment suggestions ? :)
<1> shasbot, might check that to see what's up, then kinda go from there.....
<8> lol, yea i know... but i overwrote my other linux install
<1> ouch
<1> heh
<2> Thats good info, NoUse. Do I just need to add something to my sources.list?



<5> skwid: try 'rootnoverify (hd0,4)' and enter, and if it accepts that, try 'chainloader +1', and enter, and then 'boot' & enter
<8> yea, i became annoyed with my gentoo isntall
<11> !tell lkj1 about repos
<8> i will boot the livecd and get back on
<5> skwid: I think it's the rootnoverify line that would give that error, but you should check perhaps
<5> skwid: have you tried with rootnoverify yet?
<12> luke@luke:~$ wall "hi"
<12> wall: will not read hi - use stdin.
<12> ?
<13> anyone ever use the "watch video" feature at CNN? I'm having no joy there (Dapper Beta)
<6> amphi: hum, i get an error with your commands, pasting
<11> luke echo "hi" | wall
<12> wow, ty NoUse
<6> amphi: http://rafb.net/paste/results/eBbITs56.html
<5> luke: echo foo | wall
<12> NoUse, amphi, is there any command I can use to notify all users in Gnome (if they arent using a console)?
<5> skwid: interesting ;)
<14> Can someone help me with uninstalling ubuntu?
<6> amphi: you find so :)
<6> amphi: i'd say annoying :p
<5> skwid: I'm inclined to blame partition magic, but that's probably just prejudice
<4> Right... I fixed the home folder and login problem, seemed I was denied access to my home folder somehow.
<4> That's happened before.
<15> whats the best program to get hotmail through pop?
<16> amphi: bias ! :)
<5> Cin: chown
<11> koburrokalla I would boot off your windows parition, run fixmbr and then you can delete the linux parition from inside windows
<5> Skwid: verily
<11> koburrokalla boot off the windows CD, not partition
<5> Skwid: may one ask why you did this?
<4> Every once in a while, when I log in I get this problem of being denied write access to my own home directory.
<16> amphi: i needed to have another primary partition
<4> Anyone encountered this before?
<16> and i had too many apparently
<5> Skwid: why?
<5> Skwid: yeah, 4 max
<16> so i thought, yay, let's move the windows guy :)
<5> Skwid: for hysterical reasons
<17> Hello all
<16> amphi: OSx86 :)
<14> NoUse: I have ubuntu installed on a second harddrive and can't take it out of the system because the Grub loader crashes. The Linux partition is on the second hard drive
<5> Skwid: you deserve to be punished for usuing more evil proprietary sw ;)
<11> koburrokalla thats what booting off the windows cd and running 'fixmbr' will fi x
<16> amphi: yeah, i guess that's my punishment :)
<16> amphi: any other experimenting ideas ?
<14> NoUse: OK, so do I just boot into command prompt with windows cd?
<8> cdubya, where should i look for the files from the livecd?
<11> koburrokalla yes
<11> !tell koburrokalla about fixmbr
<5> Skwid: I'm at a bit of a loss;grub doesn't like it - you could try (hd0,5) perhaps, but I don't see why that would work
<17> i just did the apt-get upgrade dist on my flight 6 box last night...Im glad the "this isnt the final artwork" splash is gone
<16> amphi: ok
<1> shasbot, /etc/network/interfaces
<15> whats the best program to get hotmail through pop?
<17> thunderbird or evolution most likely
<8> cdubya. ok, i found the file and it mentions ath0
<17> thunderbird is from the mozilla folks
<17> really good app
<1> shasbot, you have a shell open?
<16> amphi: i get the same error with 0.5
<8> cdubya, i do now
<5> Skwid: you didn't type (hd0.4) before, did you?
<16> no
<5> just checking ;)
<16> amphi: #grub is dead :(
<18> im having trouble loging in
<19> guest: try changing ur nick
<17> cant you just cp your important directories (home) to somewhere else and just reinstall?
<1> shasbot, lemme think....sorry.....talking to several people here at once.
<20> Any operators around?
<16> amphi: oh wait ...
<16> did i need to do these as sudo ? :)
<5> Skwid: the grub docs say explicitly that the first logical partition on the first hd is (hd0,4)
<8> cdubya, thats fine, take your time
