Comments:
<0> currently its 7
<1> LjL, I guess not, how would I format it?
<2> samoura: that looks like something you are going to have to read carefully and go through step by step and then you can come here with specific questions
<3> LjL: That's an excellent point :) With hard-drives being so cheap these days, it's really not much of an issue for people to set aside 15-20 gigs for their windows games.
<4> Psykus: "man mkfs"
<4> Psykus: also "man mke2fs"
<5> 15-20 gigs!
<6> hi, i wanted to try out opera. i installed the .deb file from opera.com, but it segfaults upon startup - any ideas on what i could try out?
<7> gnomefreak, the apm command says kernel has no support and my laptop acts like it doesn't.
<5> games need like 5 gigs to themselves these days
<2> Thorondor: I think you need to use the .deb for debian, not the ubuntu one they provide
<4> rob__: you'd still have to do that with VMWare as well anyway... except using images instead of real partitions can save some space
<8> hrm, whats the easiest/best way to change the machine's hostname permanently on ubu?
<2> Thorondor: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OperaBrowser
<4> mroth: /etc/hostname i suppose
<5> i never did the duel OS partitioning...
<8> LjL: does that get it everywhere though?
<1> LjL, doing "mkfs /dev/hdb" tells me the device is in use by the system
<5> if i was going to do it i would put them on separate drives
<9> Thorondor, you could run it from the command line and search for and install the bits it says are missing
<8> e.g. rebuild /etc/hosts aliases n boot
<10> I use to do the dual OS thing but not anymore with pc's cheap
<1> brb though
<4> mroth: not sure, don't think. but i don't think there is an easy way to change it "everywhere" either, save perhaps using sed to change host1 into host2 in every file -- bit dangerous
<5> i have my big box my windos gaming machine and this notebook my linux toy... but i plan on turning my gamer into a server whence i upgrade to a new system... i was thinking of putting one of those super secure linux distros on it
<11> blah
<11> fuxored my fstab
<12> suspekt: you want to use the entire device? no partitions or partition table?
<4> [22:33] <1> LjL, doing "mkfs /dev/hdb" tells me the device is in use by the system <---- he's gone... but still, people, *read the manuals*, and don't just type crazy things like mkfs /dev/hdb, linux won't ask you if you are sure!
<13> is there a game for linux chess ?
<14> hi all
<5> just let that w2k3 cirt go to waste
<15> alright, i was able to connect to gamesurge
<16> What is the lightest WM you can think of? Anyone?
<14> im having this error when trying to start spam******in
<4> samoura: why don't you try "sudo apt-cache search chess"?
<12> samoura: yes
<14> error: spamd: could not create INET socket on 127.0.0.1:783
<14> any ideia ?
<17> Drac|Laptop: try xfce
<18> can elinks do javascript
<9> Drac|Laptop, twm
<19> Has anyone here run Ubuntu through Virtual PC?
<12> douglas_: interface lo is up?
<20> Could anyone help me change so I only use openbox and not gnome
<14> lemme see
<16> ompaul: Thanks. Tiny WM should be great.
<1> LjL, back, I restarted the GUI, and it still says /dev/hdb in use
<14> err
<0> ok i just resized /moved an NTFS partition. from what i can tell its healthy and all, but my type isnt right. gparted shows it as "unknown" and i cant mount it with -t ntfs via mount. in fdisk, what would be another type (under "t" command) for NTFS?
<0> currently its 7
<20> my .xsession file in home doesn't work
<5> hey i got a question for everyone
<4> Psykus: you didn't give me time to reply
<11> Nooo!
<11> I broke my fstab!
<1> oh, sorry
<18> does elink do java script some way?
<5> is there anyway i can get konquerer integrated into gnome?
<18> elinks
<17> Fredde: at login click on session and then choose openbox it will ask if you want to make it default
<18> !ubotu elinks
<21> foampeace: I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<22> i cant mount my /media/cdrom1, would someone be so kind and check whats wrong on my /etc/fstab and mtab? http://pastebin.com/573889
<4> Psykus: please, next time, actually *do read the manual*. not saying this to be pedant, it's just that you just risked erasing your HD. linux doesn't ask "are you sure?" ten times
<15> ok i question regarding NVIDIA, when i try and install nvidia driver for my linux distro " Ubuntu" it says" you appear to be running x server, please exit x server before installing"
<12> foampeace: ISTR it had some javascript support
<18> !ubotu javascript
<7> NCLife, I'll look
<20> IdleOne
<21> I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, foampeace
<4> Psykus: /dev/hdb is not a *partition*, it's actually an entire hard drive. you should format a *partition*
<18> amphi: ISTR?
<20> IdleOne: I've done that, now I have to fix the .xsessionfile
<1> i know, i keep linux on one drive, and other stuff on another drive
<12> foampeace: 'I seem to recall'
<23> lo all, what package do i need to install to get a working compile environment with make/autoconf etc?
<4> Psykus: /dev/hdb1, /dev/hdb2, etc are likely to be partitions (find the right one!)
<20> *.xsession file
<16> I'm going to run TinyWM and X.org on a 486 on Debian with Ubuntu 6.04 repository packages. Think it'll work? :P
<12> variant: apt-get install build-essential
<22> sundancezephyr, thanks :)
<5> ok
<23> amphi: thanks
<12> Drac|Laptop: with that much power, you could run openbox ;)
<17> Fredde: i have no idea :/
<6> _jason: thanks for the link, removing the plugin directories helped :)
<4> Psykus: well, then in this case you didn't risk too much. still, be careful with this kind of commands, and actually triple-check what you're tying against the manual!
<5> another question... how can i upgrade to drake?
<15> anyone who has experience with installing Nvidia driver for Ubuntu please pm me, i need help
<1> i figured it out now though, needed to use /dev/hdb5
<16> amphi: Really? Hmm... 16MB? You sure?
<4> Psykus: anyway, even if your drive only contains one partition, you still have to specify the partition, not the drive
<20> IdleOne: Shouldn't the xses file be in home?
<17> !tinywm
<21> IdleOne: What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<18> amphi: spidermonkey?
<12> Drac|Laptop: ubuntu packages will likely not work
<0> well i guess i'll go just mess with partition types till i either break it or get it right
<5> i thought /dev/hdb5 is swap
<1> no clue why though, since there's only one partition on hdb
<12> foampeace: /
<24> is launchpad-intergration broken i did apt-get install launchpad-intergrationa nd it tells me cant find it but apt-cache search finds it :(
<12> ?
<4> Psykus: if that drive only contains *one* partition, then the fact that it's called /dev/hdb5 means that something is wrong
<17> Fredde: i realy dont know sorry
<7> NChief, umount -l /dev/hdc and remount it
<1> it did contain a windows ntfs partition
<4> Psykus: i'd redo it from start. wipe the drive and repartition
<20> IdleOne: Ok, thank you anyway
<23> ubuntu rocks!
<14> how to reconfigure network in ubuntu ?
<14> is a dpkg-reconfigure option ?
<16> amphi: Sure they will, once I install an Ubuntu kernel. :D
<1> seems to mount just fine
<4> douglas_: see /etc/network/interfaces
<25> douglas_: look at /etc/networks/interfaces
<12> Drac|Laptop: if you want xorg on debian stable, you should use backports.org
<14> it is empty
<26> foampeace, yes elinks supports ECMAScript of which javascript is an extension
<1> it was /dev/hdb5 also when the NTFS partition was on there
<12> Drac|Laptop: the kernel has nothing to do with it
<18> amphi: i think spidermonkey is javascript for elinks
<4> douglas_: it definitely should not be
<24> the debian menu package is called pdmenu
<16> amphi: We'll see what happens.
<12> foampeace: ah
<23> btw, i noticed with the gnome-screensaver program that you can for example, write what text is to be displayd on gltext or set a directory of images for the glphoto screensavers.. anyone know how to do it?
<27> does anyone know if posix is enabled from a base ubuntu 64 install?
<23> s/can/can't
<12> Drac|Laptop: it's library versions that are likely to bite you
<27> or how do i found if it is?
<4> Psykus: well, the reason why it's hdb5 might be related to some partitioning you did 5 years ago, or such things... to be safe, i'd repartition, but it's probably going to work anyway
<7> NCLife, umount -l /dev/hdc and remount it
<28> does anyone know of a good place for practice tests for the linux+ ?
<23> whats the name of the kernel source package?
<22> sundancezephyr, iok
<29> linux-source
<1> another question, how would I move my home folders to this new drive? i know I could mount it to /home, but what would happen to the old home folder?
<23> sorry for not looking my self but im in a inet cafe and they close in 5 :P
<23> thakns
<7> NCLife, let me know how it goes
<4> Psykus: it would remain there untouched.
<12> Psykus: that would hide the files currently there
<22> sundancezephyr, it tells me this: mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
<4> Psykus: copy everything from your old folder first (like "cp -a /home/you /mnt/tempmount"), and then wipe everything when you're sure it's been copied alright
<7> NCLife, good. CDs are readonly.
<30> Howdy all
