<0> do i or not?
<1> obscurite, lol
<0> btw fdisk -p won't work
<1> miranda82, what is in that disk?
<2> http://www.impulze.net/paste/1396/
<0> it's fdisk and then p
<0> to print all the table
<3> kane777: thanks for help, it worked
<0> kmilo, loads and years of work
<4> 'sudo fdisk -l' is a useful alternative
<5> miranda, sorry, fdisk -l
<0> obscurite, we changed the table
<1> miranda82, how old is your brother?
<0> kmilo, 17
<0> lol
<0> kmilo, he'll die young



<5> miranda82 - i'm wondering if we can do something with fstab to make grub install
<0> www.pastebin.com
<1> miranda82, lol
<6> can someone remind me how to view a 2nd HD? something about mounting it i believe
<3> oh no it didn't
<5> miranda82 - i'm guessing he'll be buying you a shiny new USB hard drive
<1> myk, primary, slave, master, secundary?
<0> obscurite, at this point i only want to recover all my photos and videos
<6> kmilo, primary slave
<0> obscurite, http://pastebin.com/727221
<1> myk, /dev/hdb
<7> I have downloaded the ubuntu VM session to play with ubuntu. But I can't find a way to get to root. I have already gone to diagnostic mode and changed the p***word, but how do I get to a root shell from the GUI?
<8> is the dapper date still set for june 1?
<1> myk, filesystem?
<6> ntfs
<9> graphyx: 'sudo -i' in a terminal
<10> UKMatt: I think so yes
<9> UKMatt: yes
<5> miranda82 - not all of the fdisk changes seem to be there
<8> bimberi, when it does is it just going to be like a normal software upgrade?
<0> obscurite, i did not change the rest
<0> as they are not important
<11> How do i install new locales in ubuntu? In debian i just do dpkg-reconfigure locales, but it did not word in ubuntu?
<1> myk, sudo mkdir /mnt/winbugs
<5> miranda82 - ok
<9> UKMatt: you should let update-manager handle it
<9> !upgrade
<12> hmm... upgrade is 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.
<7> bimberi: doesn't work. Will I have to reboot to get at the visudo to add myself or is there a way to log into a root shell from the gui?
<0> obscurite, 2 was free space, 3 was geexbox
<1> myk, sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/winbugs
<8> bamberi, i've tried to upgrade twice to dapper twice that way and each time the graphics display doesn't load after i reboot
<1> myk, change 1 with your partiton number
<6> kmilo, will that erase the HD?
<1> myk, no.
<13> no more audio, after latest dapper dist-upgrade... Is it a bug?
<14> myk, it will just "mount" it
<9> graphyx: yes but you need to know either the user p/w (for sudo) or the root p/w (for su), idk how the vm session works, what user account does it use?
<6> kmilo, okay, i've done the ...winbugs part. what next?
<10> thesaltydog: impoosible to tell without more info. however it would probably just need to get configured
<1> myk, the mount
<15> evening all :) i just tried to install ubuntu to my usb2 external drive (i let grub install on the MBR of my laptop's internal drive), but when i try to boot the system i get Grub 'error 21'. any ideas appreciated!
<7> bimberi: It has a default ubuntu account which it auto logs on.
<9> UKMatt: hmmk
<7> bimberi: root I had to hack to get into.
<2> anybody help me intepret this?: http://www.impulze.net/paste/1396/
<13> mwe, ok. I will start investigating. I was just curious to know if it was a known bug..
<6> kmilo, yeah, did that part.
<16> anyone know when the us repos will be up again?
<9> graphyx: on the livecd the ubuntu account has no p***word, you can just 'sudo -i' with no p***word
<8> bimberi, any ideas b/c i've wiped the partition twice afterwards to fix that
<10> thesaltydog: sound works fine in dapper here.
<13> mwe, also here. Until this morning, before the upgrade.
<9> UKMatt: log into character mode and 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
<17> hey everyone
<7> bimberi that would have been nice, but this is an installed setup.
<10> thesaltydog: odd. I'd ask in #ubuntu+1 though
<1> graphyx, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo?action=show&redirect=EnableRootLogin#head-0ba7534e4fc67b5d07e42de101ae04a3a9ec84ee
<8> bimberi, what is character mode?
<1> myk, http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch05.html



<9> graphyx: ok, sorry, i'm out of ideas then, you'll need the p***word
<18> using dapper and having probs after fresh install....won't let me log into the os after I changed user info
<9> UKMatt: ctrl-alt-F1
<19> UKMatt, also terminal mode or console mode.. hit Ctrl+F1 or Ctrl+F2
<5> miranda82 - we have two separate problems here. one is we can't do a grub install. the other is we can't mount your partitions.
<20> to get a root shell, sudo -i
<17> i wonder something. i need to format my whole disk, and thought maybe a good opportunity to switch to ubuntu completely(without xp)
<0> obscurite, repair would be just fine :P
<21> hi
<0> obscurite, yeah i know, but... what could i do?
<10> bimberi: don't forget to tell people how to get back to X in the same sentence :)
<21> ni need help to install limewire on my ubuntu linux.
<9> mwe: ooh yes, thanks, (D'Oh (s)he's gone)
<17> is it possible to install xp (if needed) after installing ubuntu on the whole disk
<18> any ubuntu geniuses in here that can help a guy real fast-like?? ;D
<22> for some reason, I can't hear sounds from within Firefox, but I can hear sounds from XMMS. Why is this?
<16> how does one report a problem with open office?
<7> wizzlefish: It is possible it is set up to only allow sounds from a single source?
<21> I cant read mp3s, how could-i?
<17> noone knows?
<20> !mp3
<12> rumour has it, mp3 is a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
<10> jramsey: you suspect a bug?
<22> graphyx: I'm not sure, but that's what it seems like it's doing - I want to allow sounds from all sources, all the time
<22> hehe! kbrooks' quit message is funny :)
<5> miranda82 - what does mount -t ext3 -o rw /dev/hdc1 /mnt tell you again?
<11> I am trying to install other locales but when i do dpkg-reconfigure locales, it does not give me the option to install other locales. It just apdate the locales already installed. Any help?
<16> mwe, i just updated to latest 2.0 for ubuntu and i've the same problem; it's a word 2000 doc that i imported and when i page thru it, i get to a figure that has a graphic and writer hangs
<16> was the same before i updated
<6> kmilo, ooh, groovy. got it workin. thanks :D
<10> jramsey: report it at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu
<0> obscurite, wrong fs type, bad superblock on /dev/hdc1, missing codepage.. etc and, on dmesg | tail i get: [4298378.880000] VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev hdc1.
<7> Thanks everyone. I got it to work.
<1> myk, ok, now put it in the fstab
<22> does anybody know how to allow sounds from all sources at all times?
<6> kmilo, fstab?
<22> I can't hear my beloved Homstar Runner
<1> myk, http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch05.html
<22> *Homestar
<23> Can someone help me play mp3 with Ubuntu please^
<24> !mp3
<12> mp3 is, like, totally, a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
<23> Gazzak : Already tried this :(
<24> canibal, is this dapper or breezy?
<24> canibal, have a look at:- http://www.ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=77
<22> anybody got an idea? please?
<23> I think its breezy
<6> kmilo, yee haw. thanks :D
<25> Hello.
<26> hey all - i've just installed ubuntu 5.04 on an old machine (P1 120Mhz), but as soon as it loads into GNOME the screen goes blank - i think it is sendig too high a resolution for my old 14" crt. how do i set it lower?
<5> miranda82 - try 'e2label /dev/hdc1 /' and then try to mount it again
<27> does the linux distros have cleartype equivelent?
<1> myk, sure, just remeber: http://help.ubuntu.com
<25> Flippit, try running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
<0> obscurite, bad superblock
<25> It will run a menu where you can select how to configure Xwindows.
<26> Archville: thx... should i run that at the grub prompt? sry i'm a linux noob
<28> How do I get higher resolution than 1024x768?
<25> Flippit: no, when system boots, at the console.
<27> heluu?
<22> where do I set sound settings, at least?
<26> ok let me try

<9> !ff1.5
<12> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
<22> is there one of those exclamation marks for sound settings?
<30> ubuntu dapper is pretty stable
<9> !sound
<12> Help to fix issues with sound can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
<30> for daily use
