<0> dibblego, oh it isn't started? hmm i'll have to look into that.
<1> Arrick: so how are you interacting with the system?
<2> shasbot, that will change the hostname to something other than ubuntu hopefully....:D
<0> dibblego, have only used it shortly myself.
<3> not even formattd yet
<3> yes
<4> !Xgl
<5> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XglHowto - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems. It works ONLY on dapper. Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/
<4> ?Xgl
<6> slackern: any ideas of where to look?
<7> bbrazil: you mean, if there's a valid partition table, it doesn't give the option to fdisk??
<0> dibblego, i'm heading for the forums to look :)
<3> I put the 98 boot floppy in so I caould get to the A: drive, but have nothing else
<1> amphi: iirc, been a while. I use partimage these days ;)
<8> When trying to partition my primary and secondary harddrives for root, swap and home, I get "Partition map has no partition map entry! ERROR!!!!" with the options to 'Fix' or 'Cancel'. I've tried to work my way around this, but I can't seem to. Can somebody help?
<7> bbrazil: sounds stupid enough to be true :)
<1> Arrick: ah, you should have mentioned you were in DOS
<8> This is in the installation partitioner, of course.
<3> ok
<1> Arrick: run 'fdisk /mbr'
<7> Drac|Win: has the disk ever been partitioned?
<1> (once again, dangerous command)
<3> okwhat next?
<0> dibblego, here is another approach to it http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402&highlight=remote+desktop+reboot
<9> bbrazil: What's he trying to do?
<7> woo: install a legacy os, I believe
<1> woo: install win98 on a system that previously had ubuntu afaict
<3> yep
<8> amphi: Yes. I'm working with a beige Mac G3. It was full of Mac partitioning. There were at least 10 partitions. I deleted them all in the new plan and set it to format with one big partition.
<7> woo: we are being indulgent ;)
<3> no
<10> Drac|Win: you need at least three partitions on a mac
<11> amphi: oh I know, but the difference between someone reading a message that may have p***ed through their MTA, and someone reading all my messages in one place is pretty big. I'm just brainstroming btw, I'd probably do quite a bit more reading before putting something in to production
<3> it had 98 on it previously and they wiped it cause it was a network system
<3> but anyways what next?
<8> spikeb: I have them on the primary harddrive. More than three.
<7> Drac|Win: if there's nothing on there, try fix perhaps; otherwise, boot from some cd and partition yourself
<8> amphi: I AM booted from the CD. :P
<7> bomin: echelon hears everyhthing ;)
<10> Drac|Win: just make sure that you have an apple bootstrap partition and a swap partition in addition to whatever else, and you're good
<1> Arrick: fdisk, and setup your partitions. Make sure the first one is bootable. If it's older than a P2 the first partition should be less that 1GB
<3> its 500mhz
<7> Drac|Win: er, yes, but a cd that lets you just run [c|s]fdisk
<8> spikeb: What partitions do I need to leave in the secondary drive, if that's what's causing this error?
<6> slackern: cheers, I'll give it a go
<0> dibblego, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=158206&highlight=remote+desktop+reboot someone with same problem as you
<4> i hope so.
<7> bomin: but point taken - you can trivially write a script that will mount the file, prompting for the p***phrase, run mutt if that's succesful, and umount when mutt terminates
<10> Drac|Win: you need an apple bootstrap partition somewhere, along with swap, and /
<6> I'll try the hard one first :)
<8> spikeb: In the secondary drive? Okay.
<1> Arrick: then run 'setup'
<10> i think the bootstrap can be on the first drive, acutally, but i'm not sure.
<3> ok
<1> Arrick: dunno how it work with flopies, I've only done it with a CD
<11> amphi: yeah shouldn't be too difficult, thanks much for the link btw
<3> I have the 98 cd, but gotta be able to aces it first
<0> dibblego, aye it seems like the best idea i think, or otherwise there seems to be something called freenx which does about the same thing.
<12> hello everyone,
<1> Arrick: you sure it's a 500Mhz?
<3> yeah
<1> Arrick:I'm supries it doesn't boot off CD
<6> Dapper looks pretty by the way - I just installed the 12052006 daily build
<12> I been , challenging myself, to find out, what a package needs, and dependancies, and manually installing them
<8> spikeb: I would think so, but apparently the partitioner wants one on both...
<3> it is
<10> Drac|Win: heh
<0> dibblego, did you use the livecd installer?
<12> dibblego: , yes, I'm using latest, alpha 7
<6> slackern: I believe I did
<7> bomin: d-a.org has useful articles sometimes
<12> I did the , text mode, because I'm more to the advanced, and it is , worth studying, what its needed to know, to use open source, also, got CodeWeavers Cross Over Professoinal on it, 5
<0> dibblego, ahh nice, i had some problems when i tried it so haven't tried them in a while now.
<6> I installed from http://cdimage.ubuntulinux.org/daily/current/dapper-install-i386.iso
<12> if anyone wants to team up, for the wirelss support. plz let me know
<6> disabling/enabling my wireless NIC makes my system freeze
<6> speaking of wireless
<3> bbrazil, its checking fat now
<12> I been really challenging myself
<12> I Like how, fat, and especially ntfs automounts now
<3> dibblego, do you disable your other nic when you enable the wireless?
<12> I probably, might just, set up the ndiswrapper,
<0> darn i want a wireless card to play around with too *sulks*
<6> my other NICs are disabled at all times
<3> ok
<8> spikeb: Success! I left the Mac crap in the slave as well, and everything went smoothly. :)
<12> hey people, ubuntu discovered my Broadcom, Air Foirce etc, 802.11 b/g built in WLAN , however, maybe something further more i need to do?
<6> one is an ethernet, the other is a modem
<13> cdubya, ok i changed /etc/hosts and my hostname and now it works, thanks for all your hel
<13> help
<6> actually, they are not "disabled", they are not even "configured"
<3> bbrazil, ok bad disk, time for another then
<6> it's not a big deal anyway - thought I'd mention it
<2> shasbot, very kewl. Don't feel like I helped much, but extremely happy for you that you're up. :)
<12> dibblego:
<10> Drac|Win: good, good
<12> want to know whats really cool sometimes, the challenges of open source, :)
<3> even if not configged you gotta disable them or the collide for soe reason dibblego
<14> Clint-: Disable the built-in driver, use ndiswrapper.
<12> hey cafuego
<6> Arrick: there is no option to disable or enable them
<14> Clint-: 4318 support isn't usebale yet, afaik.
<12> Acer's do have some problems hee, with linux, just couple is all
<6> System->Administration->Networking
<12> how did ya know,
<6> "Properties" "Activate" "Deactivate" - I can only select Properties
<3> ok
<12> this user, got it with Slackware 10.2 , using ndiswrapper, so yeah I guess you right on that, thats what I was going do, I'm not even up yet in it, I have to get some depedancies,
<12> Acer Aspire 3613 WLCi
<12> but, I'm not ready to get out of the debian based systems, so :)
<14> Clint-: Poeple have reported hardlocks using the bcm43xx driver on 4318 hardware, it's still udner contruction. Only the 4306 really works sofar.
<12> its nice, just teaching yourself, to install packages manually, and there dependancies, can be pain, but its worth the effort, to making advanced user
<12> oh
<12> so you know some stuff on that, maybe you could help
<15> im trying to install bcm43xx on presario 5000z and having no luck at all
<12> I would be greatly appreciative , and share my information with the people , with help with laptops and etc
<14> !bcm43xx
<5> To use your broadcom or airport extreme card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx for info and firmware.
<12> well, I'm going eh, put myself to the challenges, I'm sure I"ll figure it out
<12> hey guys
<3> !patience
<5> The people in this channel are volunteers. Please be aware there are a lot of questions, but only maybe few who might know the answer for you. Please be patient. Your attitude may determine their willingness to help you.
<15> ndiswrapper works but only with acpi=off; is it possible to get battery info with acpi or apm?????
<16> What do i put in for my domain when setting up samba?
<12> 1 important question before I get this package, anyway, I can like.. download, or put together cd , for gettin packages
<12> yes, typing, acpi
<12> will let you know information, you could probably build your own gui interface for telling you,
<12> in the console mud2005, thanks for that info
<15> i have 4318 also
<17> Clint-: you mean like, download packages, then sneakernet them to the computer?
<12> but I am not sure, oh , if disable the acpi, will that block ya from getting info from the console o.o
<12> yes, because its kind of tiring , manually getting all the dependancies, packages i need lol
<12> :P
<15> i used noapic nolapic acpi=off, doesnt block anything but battery monitor i think
<12> I get on my windows system, then I get packages, then save to my lacie, 80 GB, and then install hee
<12> you have a WLAn like I do?
<3> just burn them to a cd, you'll use them again sometime
<12> if I can just get p*** this thing, I would be more than happy, be a designated, wireless support, and driver etc
<15> Clint- i have wlan presario 5000z
<12> well, Arrick, I am actually going put together, my own linux system in the future, taking the kernel, then drivers, etc.. packages up to me, and gui
<15> i had to download bcml5a.inf from dell to get it working with ndiswrapper
<18> Clint, that is more work than what is worth i think
<10> nah
<3> oh ok
<10> it's a lot of fun
<3> yeah
<12> i hear about that, so , what all do I need from ndiswrapper, what all packages, etc..
<10> Clint-: that's what LFS is all about :)
<15> ndiswrapper-utils
<12> well, its worth it to me, because I challenge myself with everything in th IT world :)
<12> k, I go tthat,
