<0> miguel_ woot :)
<1> yesterday a receive my pack
<2> dooglus: Sure
<1> and well this day I install on my computer
<1> good bye the private software
<2> I'm running a failsafe terminal.. how do you propose I do it?
<1> jejeje
<3> Pinewheel: I propose you get Seveas' pastebin script, as follows... (please wait)
<4> theres an oxymoron fail & safe
<4> up there with dry & water
<3> doh! he's taken it off his site! I'll upload my copy, just a sec.
<3> Pinewheel: do a "wget http://s89213869.onlinehome.us/pastebin";, that will download the script. then "chmod +x pastebin" and edit it - change 'Dooglus' to 'Pinewheel'
<2> Okay
<3> Pinewheel: then "cat <file-to-paste> | ./pastebin"
<4> dooglus: oooh thats sooo easy
<5> dibblego: https://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/UbuntuBootupHowto
<6> excellent thanks
<4> dooglus: need to add an installer to the script
<3> linux_galore: do you have an easier way of pasting stuff to the pastebin when you can't run X?
<4> dooglus: not complaining about the script just all the geek help
<4> chmod +x should be within the script
<3> linux_galore: um... the script won't run if it's not executable
<2> dooglus: I'm very sorry about this, but could you tell me which line contains "Dooglus"?
<3> 69
<4> dooglus: you can send the script a an executable
<4> as*
<4> dooglus: just make sure the script as an install stage built ine
<3> linux_galore: what are you talking about?
<3> linux_galore: I didn't send the script. I uploaded it to a web site
<7> chmod +x the web site. :P
<4> dooglus: well all the help scripts Ive done (self extracting installable files mostly)
<8> Ah finally got my Xserver working ^^
<4> Dr_Willis: when dealing with new users I always go, if you cant click on it forget it start again
<2> dooglus: Okay. Thanks anyway
<7> linux_galore, they updated the pcs at work.. and now 90% of us cant fill in our overtime hours now.
<3> linux_galore: his whole problem is that he can't get into X. he can't click on anything. do you understand?
<7> :P
<4> dooglus: aah, Live CD time
<3> linux_galore: he can boot ubuntu, and log in to a VC, but GNOME isn't working.
<3> linux_galore: I don't see how a live cd will help.
<2> dooglus: The error message tells me to check .xsession-errors
<9> Pinewheel: use a failsafe terminal session
<3> Pinewheel: paste that then I guess
<4> dooglus: well for starters give you a working Xorg.conf file
<2> RandolphCarter: I am.
<2> any ideas?
<9> Pinewheel: sorry, could you paste the .xsession-errors file to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ ?
<4> dooglus: did you try to get him to start a basic X session without gnome
<9> ahh, it's there :)
<4> ie no gdm
<9> Pinewheel: could you cd to /tmp and run 'ls -l .' for me?
<3> linux_galore: no, I was trying to get him to try GNOME as a different user.
<9> Pinewheel: and cd to /var/lib/gdm and run 'ls -l' (and paste the results to the board?)
<4> dooglus: we dont even know if the problem is gnome yet
<2> okay. brb
<2> I get the same error with another user account
<10> hi
<3> ok
<9> Pinewheel: could you paste those ls'? :)
<2> RandolphCarter: Sorry, could you repeat the commands please?
<9> cd /tmp; ls -l; cd /var/lib/gdm; ls -l
<3> RandolphCarter: the .xsession-errors log says /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
<4> Pinewheel: type sudo xinit use ctrl alt backspace to kill the session if it works
<3> mkdtemp: private socket dir: Permission denied
<9> probably /tmp
<9> could put its sockets in /var/lib/gdm though, so best to be safe
<3> RandolphCarter: I guess it's that mkdtemp failing that's the problem. what runs that?
<11> RandolphCarter, he will need to sudo ls /var/lib/gdm
<9> ahh, forget the /var/lib/gdm then, that couldn't possibly be it
<2> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13951
<9> thanks
<9> hmm, sorry Pinewheel: ls -la?
<9> my fault :/
<2> np
<12> hi can i write to ntfs? or it's readonly??
<2> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13952
<4> Kadran: default is read only but if you use captive you can do write but its still beta
<9> cheers
<9> sudo chmod 777 /tmp
<4> Kadran: http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/
<12> linux_galore: how can i install captive?
<2> RandolphCarter: done
<9> then try logging in again in gnome
<4> Kadran: ^^
<12> linux_galore: thanks alot
<2> okay
<13> If I'm acccessing an IMAP account from an email client, do i want to "subscribe" to the inbox in order for everything to be syncronized?
<14> yep
<15> have any of you used this router guide (iptables, dns, ip masq)? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=111972
<13> yes?
<14> yep
<2> RandolphCarter: Thanks. It worked :D
<9> Pinewheel: np's :) you need to run 'sudo chmod +t /tmp' too, then you should be set
<2> Thanks a lot for your help.
<9> dw :) It'd be interesting to know how the permissions for /tmp got messed up, but it doesn't matter so much now
<4> RandolphCarter: hmm some distro's I notice check the tmp stuff when they boot up to make sure its not going to break
<9> might be an RFE in that
<16> anyone play ut ?
<15> can someone help me troubleshoot ip masq?
<4> pnookster: just use firestarter its got a IP masq section
<6> https://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/UbuntuBootupHowto "sudo update-rc.d myscript start 51 S ." - if I want to back out of that, do I just remove the symlink in /etc/rcS.d ?
<17> anyone know why I am having trouble using the update-manager to upgrade to dapper?
<18> colin__: what error are you getting?!
<18> are you following !upgrade
<18> !upgrade
<19> upgrade is probably Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade. Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades . Note command line: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the bleeding edge.
<4> pnookster: firestarter is in the repositories
<15> alright
<18> also, it may be more appropriate for #ubuntu+1
<15> thanks :B
<20> does anyone know if ubuntu comes with these packages XFree86-Mesa-libGL
<20> libstdc++
<20> libgcc
<20> XFree86-libs
<20> fontconfig
<20> expat
<4> pnookster: no brainer firewall tool
<20> freetype
<20> zlib
<18> !paste
<19> Please don't flood the channel! For best results use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and tell people the URL
<15> does it have a gui config tool? :D
<3> RandolphCarter: what's an RFE?
<17> when i try to run update-manager nothing happens
<4> pnookster: yep, its a bit like a zonealarm front end to iptables
<15> sweet!!
<20> im trying to install my video card driveer and I want to make sure I got the right packages
<21> paradizelost: How can I make update-manager use -d by default? So I can just click the icon in the notification area.
<9> dooglus: Request for Enhancement
<15> thanks a LOT. I was having issues with the ip masq script i found on the ubuntu forums xD
<17> anybody have any answers?
<4> pnookster: you just run it once it then creates a startup rules script then you dont have to run it again unless you want to edit anything
<15> very nice
<3> RandolphCarter: oh, I see.
<15> do I need to run it as root?
<4> pnookster: if your a security nut you can have it running in the task bar 100% of the time but you dont have to
<17> paradizelost, i follow the instructions but it never upgrades
<4> pnookster: with sudo yes because its edits the system settings
<3> RandolphCarter: I once had breezy delete itself when I booted due to /tmp having a 'bind mount' in it.
<15> righto
<3> RandolphCarter: I think a little /tmp-sanity-checking would be a good thing.
<9> dooglus: erk :/ that's a little crazy - yeah, probably best to ***imilate it from another distro too
<4> pnookster: basically if it edits anything thats a "system wide" option you need sudo
<3> RandolphCarter: I had the whole of / bound to a mountpoint /tmp/root
<15> hm
<3> when it booted, breezy cleared out /tmp, as it always does, including /tmp/root, my entire filesystem
<15> there any reason why the enable dhcp option is ghosted?
<4> pnookster: because your running dhcp
<22> themaan: check out the link so you can find the module name for the video card. then apt-get install modconf and use it to install your video module http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/
