<0> steveire: you can do it w/ the installer
<0> steveire: i also usually use a separate DISK
<0> because if the primary disk goes, and you had the data on a separate partition, you still lose the partition
<1> idefix: when you install apps you usually get a bunch of smaller packages with it
<2> Indeed. So If I have a home folder already on a partition, I can tell the installer that it's there, and not to make a new one? Or do I let it make a new one, and then replace it with my mounted partition?
<3> steveire: because if your system get a hang-over one day and decide to stay in bed taking a break instead of working, you can replace it and still keep your user files intact :)
<0> idefix: for example, kubuntu-desktop installs about 300MB worth of small packages
<0> steveire: yes, during the install, you simply do a manual partitioning
<4> I need help about printers
<0> !printers
<5> somebody said printers was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters or http://www.linuxprinting.org
<0> !ask
<5> Just ask. Questions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise and on-topic. Information like hardware make, model and output of commands that you used pasted onto http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org is important.
<3> !cups
<5> well, cups is The Common UNIX Printing System (or CUPS) is a printing system and general replacement for lpd and the like. See also http://linuxprinting.org/
<3> ah, that was he same link :)
<4> lol
<4> no
<2> And if I have a separate boot partition, Is that where my kernels are kept? (I'm planning on installing multiple distros, or at least having the option to)
<0> steveire: as long as you mount it at /boot
<4> i serioustl;y need help... i cant get to make my printer print a page
<0> steveire: yes, that's where the kernels are kept
<0> crueldog: what type of printer is it? might help to have that info
<3> crueldog: best way is to go to linuxprinting.org and see if there is an updated driver for your printer
<0> !tell crueldog about ask
<4> ...
<2> I currently have the option of using three ubuntu linux kernels at boot. Is that really neccessary, or can I remove the oldest two?
<6> are there any people here that could help me to get my dlink dw=-g650+ workign ?
<0> steveire: the reason they do that is in case there is a messup and the new kernel doesn't boot.
<6> when ubuntu isent finding any pcimcia cards and widnows is
<0> if the new kernel boots, you can probably get rid of the old ones
<2> OK, cool
<0> mumbles: do you have your pcmcia drivers loaded?
<7> i'm just downloading 6.06, instead of 5.10... is it really buggy?
<6> erm... possabley not
<8> orbish: its fine
<0> orbish: just make sure your getting flight 7
<7> flight 7?
<4> the driver isnt online
<0> the latest version
<1> orbish: pretty stable now from what I hear
<4> HP deskjet 540
<0> crueldog: gnome or kde?
<6> paradizelost - will the package manager get them ?
<2> If I want to make a new boot partition, do I have to remove my current Ubuntu installation, and start again, telling the installer to use the boot partition?
<0> crueldog: have you installed the printer?
<0> !pcmcia
<5> paradizelost: No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<0> !laptop
<5> I guess laptop is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops or http://www.linux-laptop.net/ or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam, or tuxmobil.org
<0> crueldog: or just plugged it in?
<4> i plugged
<2> Thanks for the help, paradizelost, I hope my questions aren't too stupid. I tend to ask a lot of questions though...
<4> i cant install
<1> grr... no irssi themes fit my setup
<4> nthe driver isnt there!
<0> crueldog: system->administration->printing
<9> steveire: or backup, repartition, and restore
<4> i know
<4> but
<4> the driver isnt there
<2> amphi: Won't that restore /boot as it is in my current set up?
<10> yaaa he returns
<0> crueldog: dapper has the drivers.
<0> :D
<7> this is what i'm downloading ubuntu-6.06-beta2-install-i386.iso
<7> is that flight 7?
<2> nope
<11> no
<7> hmm..
<2> You'll prob have to do a ton of updating if you do that...
<4> whats dapper?
<4> What is dapper?
<0> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/dapper/flight-7/
<0> !dapper
<5> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support :)
<7> just found it thanks paradize
<2> Will grub live on my boot partition too, or does it get installed in the root of whichever distro I use to install it (Am I making %uany%u sense?)
<0> steveire: the grub files are in /boot, but it installs to the MBR to boot
<12> Is there a quick tutorial to create a lan network between my linux and windows machines?
<4> paradizelost: what is dapper?
<13> !samba
<5> samba is, like, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SettingUpSamba or http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba2/book/toc.html
<2> dapper is the beta version of ubuntu
<13> majd: ^^^
<12> thoreauputic, thanks
<4> k
<13> majd: no problem :)
<9> steveire: not if you've made /boot a separate partition, and mounted it
<2> paradizelost: What do you mean it installs the MBR to boot? It installs the MBR to whichever disto I use to install it?
<14> what is the easy way to install arial in linux?
<4> i have 2 printers, one on parallel port (which i dont find driver) and one on usp, which i have driver, but i cant make it oprint.
<4> usb**
<13> steveire: umm - grub installs to the MBR unless you tell it not to
<0> master boot record
<0> there is 1 master boot record per hard disk
<0> it's a 512byte section IIRC
<0> Seveas: you here?
<4> i have 2 printers, one on parallel port (which i dont find driver) and one on usb, which i have driver, but i cant make it print.
<0> Seveas: how would one add a link to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/dapper/flight-7/ in the info in !dapper?
<4> thanks for the help (sarcastiquely)
<0> well all, time to head home.
<15> paradizelost, one wouldn't. The factoid is long already
<16> paradizelost: there's a !flight7 factoid
<2> OK, I think I'm beginning to understand, but should I tell grub not to install to the MBR?
<9> steveire: grub installs files in /boot/grub
<0> Seveas: it's a pain to always have to tell people where they can get the cd....
<0> !flight7
<5> flight7 is probably available via http://www.ubuntu.com/testing, or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/dapper/flight-7/
<0> ahh.,
<0> k
<0> nm
<0> :D
<0> danke
<9> steveire: and writes some code to the mbr by default
<0> we'll cya all l8r.
<13> steveire: normally you install grub to the MBR
<13> steveire: it then puts its config files in /boot/grub
<17> Have a printer connected to my XP machine , should i use cups or win smb as choice in settings ??
<16> !xprint
<5> bimberi: Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<16> !xpprint
<5> Printing from ubuntu to an XP connected printer - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsXPPrinter. Printing from XP to an ubuntu connected printer - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWinXP
<13> bimberi: aha - that's a useful factoid
<13> :)
<18> this is odd
<16> !factinfo xpprint

<19> Fact: The world's largest art gallery is the Winter Palace and Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia. Visitors would have to walk 15 miles to see the 322 galleries which house nearly 3 million works of art.

<13> :)
<18> seems like all my windows and such in fluxbox are stuck on the same orangish brown background theme for input boxes
<12> hi
<2> As my current condition is dual booting XP and Kubuntu, do I make a boot partition, move everything from /boot to it, then reinstall grub?
<12> i'm trying to kill a process and when i type in the PID it asks me if i really want to do it so i type y then enter and it says operation not permitted
<13> steveire: you don't really need a separate boot partition normally...
<20> majd: do it as 'root'.
<6> ok. i try and install pcmcia-modules- and it says its dependent on
<20> steveire: why? whats the point?
<18> hmmm
<6> kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686-smp
<18> any idea why my windows on the input boxes would be stuck on one theme in fluxbox even though I change themes?
<2> I like ubuntu, but I want to have the option of trying and possibly keeping or removing other linux distros and FreeBSD
<21> plop
<13> _JECKEL_: try firing up gnome-theme-manager
<9> steveire: just keep /home on a separate partition is enough for that
<6> hwo do i get rid of that dependencey ?
<22> steveire, simply keep some partitions around, and run a master menu.lst
