<0> So now his signal is beeing picked up by my reciver that I use for my wireless keyboard
<1> /dev => /dev/null
<0> and My mouse is going awall
<2> Me too :D Not sure what happened tbh. I've tried SUSE and Fedora recently, and they both reported it correctly
<3> speen: I think that is a pre-linux problem.
<4> sleen u ever considered lead lining apartment?
<3> Cylindric: Oh!
<5> linux-restricted-modules has an MD5Sum mismatch, ON THE CD. How the heck do I get around such an error? ;/
<0> tatters: =P
<2> I managed to get SUSE to work with 3D too, although not FC4
<3> Cylindric: lemme get you to try something...
<6> Fleischlego, make sure you make the device on the mounted root of your wrecked installation. If it's mounted on /mnt, that's /mnt/dev/null . Delete it first if necessary.
<3> Cylindric: as root, open /etc/X11/xorg.conf in your favourite editor (e.g. nano)
<7> Hey guys, when trying to modprobe something, I get an "Invalid module format"
<7> And dmesg gives me: "go7007_usb: version magic '2.6.15-ck4 SMP preempt 386 4KSTACKS gcc-3.4' should be '2.6.15-ck4 SMP 386 4KSTACKS gcc-3.4'
<0> I can see the device I want to disable in hal-device-manager, but it dosnt allow me to disable it



<7> Notice no "preempt" in the "should be" string. What does this mean... how should I fix it?
<2> I'm in, twb
<3> Cylindric: look for 'Device "ati"'
<5> Can /anyone/ please help?
<3> Cylindric: or 'Device "vesa"'
<1> soundray: Ok, tried now. Same problem. It's not writeable.
<3> Cylindric: and change it to 'Device "radeon"'
<6> Fleischlego, sudo ?
<1> Well, rootshell.
<3> Fleischlego: what are the permissions from within and without the chroot?
<8> naetrick, before you start that project you should know there was a gnome2 applet in the repos all the time, it's called lock-keys-applet :)
<2> twb, I have 'Section "Device"' with a line 'Driver "fglrx"',
<3> Fleischlego: ...of that device file.
<3> Cylindric: Oh, you are trying to use the non-free drivers.
<3> Cylindric: is it working?
<9> ok I downloaded some theme package for gnome ... how do I install it?
<1> twb: crw-r--r--
<2> twb I tried the ATI ones first, and they're not . Should I be using others?
<7> anto9us: Thanks :). I'll probably code one for myself anyway, because that's what I like to do :)
<10> kyo: system > prefs > themes, drag and drop the file into the window
<3> Cylindric: the free driver "radeon" should give you 2d and probably 3d acceleration.
<3> Cylindric: the free driver "ati" is much older than "radeon".
<2> twb. do I need to download anything extra, or just change Driver to "radeon"?
<3> Cylindric: change it, save file, restart X server (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace)
<3> Cylindric: you can test for 3d accel by running glxinfo|head and looking for "direct rendering: yes"
<2> I'll give it a go. brb
<11> hat is the program that is installed that allows you to righclick on an ISO image and do write to disk? in gnome.
<12> twb, how can i reinstall the default dictionary for the spell checker?
<1> soundray: You really think the /dev/null thing is such a big problem that it is easier to complete reinstall?
<13> hi, I'm looking for a page explaining how to upgrade from breezy to dapper (experimental machine), any URL?
<14> evening all
<3> guerby: just change the sources.list
<14> um, help?
<9> I have pics in my home folder. How would I m*** move the jpgs into say hoome/pictures in bash?
<3> shinydan: not until you tell us what to help with!
<14> that's fair enough...8)
<3> kyo: mv *.jpg somewhere/else/
<6> Fleischlego, no. I think that it's a symptom of more serious trouble that will be difficult to fix, especially if you don't know why it happened.
<10> ubotu: tell kyo about cli
<14> installed Breezey recently. Just tried to use my CD-Rom, and it won't mount.
<14> -e
<15> think that radeon thing will work for mine?
<14> getting "Warning: device /dev/hdc is already handled by /etc/fstab, supplied label is ignored
<14> mount: mount point /media/cdrom0 does not exist
<14> Error: could not execute pmount
<14> "
<14> apologies for spam
<13> twb, you mean replacing all "breezy" by "dapper"?
<6> Fleischlego, are you on a reasonably fast connection?
<10> shinydan: use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org next time please
<15> RADEON XPRESS 200M
<3> guerby: pretty much.
<14> ok, will do.
<15> AMDTurion 64
<1> soundray: 130kb/s downstream.
<9> heh
<16> I isntalled ubuntu, and logged in. What do I type to gert the GUI to load?
<13> twd, ok let's go...
<10> Artan1s: did you do a server install?
<16> _jason I dont think so
<3> guerby: it might be safer to *copy* the entries in sources.list and replace breezy with dapper in the copies, so you still have the old entries.



<10> Artan1s: what does apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop | grep Installed, return?
<3> Artan1s: did you type "server" at the "boot:" prompt?
<6> Fleischlego, if you leave it overnight to download packages, the net time investment of reinstalling is probably an hour or so.
<13> twb, I copied sources.list to sources.list.breezy
<5> linux-restricted-modules has an MD5Sum mismatch, ON THE CD. How the heck do I get around such an error? ;/
<16> _jason:let me run up and see real fast
<16> twb: no
<17> algun latino
<6> Fleischlego, I could be wrong, of course.
<3> Psi-Jack: the CD is scratched.
<3> Psi-Jack: or the CD drive is damaged.
<5> twb: It works to install, when I don't have a complex partition arrangement.
<3> Psi-Jack: or the CPU is damaged.
<1> soundray: Hell, yeah, propably you are right.
<14> there, posted to paste now.
<9> Where do I go to unable unnecessary services?
<6> Fleischlego, but I really want to go now. If you still want to fix it, I think twb might be your man.
<3> Why can't my oo.org find any fonts?
<5> twb: I used that same CD to install on this system I'm using now. But, I had the same error, until I reparitioned to only use /boot and /
<3> I should point out that it is now 9am here.
<18> why would you want to enable unnecessary services?
<1> soundray: Just one more question... Theoretically I could backup dirs like /etc, /usr, /home etc. and copy them back later, right?
<18> they're unnecessary!
<6> Fleischlego, you could, but it only makes sense if you stick with breezy.
<1> soundray: there's quite a lot of configuration work on this system. This is why I ask. :)
<4> does anyone know what I need to add to repos to get hostsentry?
<3> Fleischlego: it's better to just backup /etc, /var and /home.
<1> soundray: Well, copy it back, then upgrade to dapper, if you want it that way. :)
<18> Fleischlego: backing up /usr is almost certainly unnecessary
<3> Fleischlego: correctly designed ubuntu/debian packages will not put config data anywhere else.
<19> how do i remove the ftp's i visited with nautilis
<19> from the side bar
<19> erm the left of the screen it shows up under the folders
<3> whiter: drag them away?
<20> I have a question, how can I check what version of KDe is installed ?
<18> `_Zielony: dpkg -l | grep kdebase
<20> thx
<3> `_Zielony: dpkg -l kde...
<19> twb, cant
<3> Fred: beat me.
<3> Uh, graft: beat me.
<6> Fleischlego, saving etc is a good idea if you put a lot of work into it. Even if you end up using it as a reference.
<21> how do I use nautilus to burn iso's and what is nautilus? :)
<6> Fleischlego, I did that when I upgraded from Debian to Warty.
<3> IdleOne: Ctrl+L, burn:/// RET
<22> bleh, nvidia's website is down
<19> its like explorer idleone
<14> It looks as though I've managed to confuse my system into ignoring my CD-Rom, as on the pastebin site. Any ideas?
<22> is there anotehr way to get the current nvidia drivers?
<23> Can someone here tell me how to tell ubuntu to open downloaded MSword files with OOo ?
<8> IdleOne, right click the iso and select burn
<19> shinydan can you pastebin "mount"
<3> KatteKra1: right-click on a .doc file, choose properties, third tab is an ***ociate with program dialog.
<24> hey
<25> holy cow...newb here. Didnt relaize there was a whole IRZC channel for ubuntu users
<22> adam__, yup ;)
<23> twb: thanks - I'll give that a go :)
<26> IdleOne, right click on an iso image and select write to disk, it is a program similar in some ways to a file manager but just an order or 20 more powerful :-)-
<6> Fleischlego, okay?
<10> adam__: there are several actually
<16> _jason: Installed: 0.80
<25> question...how many of you have both kde and gnome on your computer and which do you prefer?
<16> twb: was I supposed to?
<10> Artan1s: hrmm indeed, what does 'startx' do
<1> soundray: Ok. /var /etc /home then. :)
<27> it starts X
<21> ompaul: anto9us and everybody else thanks
<16> _jason: one second
<14> whiter: done
<4> is there a way to find what package is in which repos?
<1> soundray: reinstall. copy it back, dist-upgrade
<27> adam__, I have both and I prefer GNOME
<22> adam__, i have both, i prefer gnome (im running ubuntu distro.. well kde crashed on me so i figured id leave it alone)
<24> !seen ompaul
