<0> nahas: In a terminal, if you start typing a command in the path, and hit tab a few times, it should show up in a list.
<1> ok
<2> where can find server list ?
<3> can i force apt to reinstall a package? i seem to have broken one, and too many dependancies to remove and reinstall.
<4> Does anyone here run electricsheep?
<0> flugh: apt-get install --reinstall packagename
<5> Hi, i just installed windows on this box.. and i want to recover GRUB.. I've tried following the guide (using the ubuntu install disc) on the wiki but with no result.. No error msgs, but when i reboot i boot windows :(
<6> TheFaction20: ah ok - well have you tried mounting it? if it's your only scsi drive then you should be able to sudo mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/external
<3> tonyyarusso: ah, thanks. didn't see that with help output. will do :)
<5> i dont have a live cd atm, so is there anything else i can do?
<6> TheFaction20: another idea would be to do a "tail -f /var/log/messages" and then plug the drive in and see what messages appear
<7> NigelS:ill try that last one real quick and let u know
<8> NigelS: (bittersweet) SUCSESS ! well, i managed to turn on the svideo output, now the tv is showing rotating noise ! :) but AT LEAST ITS ON NOW ! thanks for the advive !
<0> sfar_win: Download a live cd? That's the only one I know of.
<6> BlueOrange: hehe that's alright - shame we don't have it by default in ubuntu yet
<5> tonyyarusso, i was hoping to not have to do that :)
<1> it shows the java commnds
<5> because i dont have any cd-r
<8> NigelS: yea well, its got to still be linux, right :)
<1> but frostwire doesnt pick up the path
<6> sfar_win: ok - what have you tried so far?
<0> sfar_win: Could be worse. Could be dial-up. (That was fun.)
<9> I'm new to ubuntu, is there something similar to yum for grabbing and installing apps?
<10> How Can I set up Wireless ?
<6> BlueOrange: true :P
<0> Alexiel: apt-get/aptitude/Synaptic
<10> Does anybady has a Manual?
<9> tonyyarusso: thanks
<2> llcineva din tm ??????????????????????????????
<11> Alexiel: 'apt-get', 'synaptic' is similar to YumEx
<6> Alexiel: something not only alike it but better! go to your admin menu and run synaptic
<12> by default what directory does vsftpd use?

<5> NigelS: the first alternative on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows .. (the one with the install cd)
<13> how can i install better video drivers for my Ati Radeon X700?
<5> when i start the install-cd and go in to rescue-mode.. im presented with a hash, cant i do something from there (except grub-install)
<6> TheFaction20: ok, bit naughty to spam in channel but :) try the following now "mkdir /temp/external" folloed by "sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /tmp/external"
<7> NigelS:haha this is my first time so yeah lol. ill go do that
<6> sfar_win: yup you can, what you need to do is this - mount your root drive for starters, whichever that is, that's the first step
<14> my right click menu in xubuntu just stopped working all the sudden...any ideas?
<6> TheFaction20: sorry I made a typoo
<6> TheFaction20: "mkdir /tmp/external"
<0> NigelS: A typoo you say?
<5> NigelS: I think i've done that.. when i type "ls" in the hash i see all the correct files and folders :) (like /home/sfar/)
<8> NigelS: the command says this is how i can use it: Usage: s3switch [-q] [crt|lcd|both|tv] [ntsc|ntscj|pal]
<8> but when i try i get: gideon@G-ubuntu:~$ sudo ./s3switch lcd tv ntsc
<8> Segmentation fault
<8>
<12> how can I configure the main directory used for vsftpd? I don't see where the directory can be set.
<6> tonyyarusso: yes, bit ironic I suppose :)
<8> NigelS: i need to change my tv output from pal to ntsc (i think, ntsc is the USA setting, right ? what about ntscj ?
<15> Yes, NTSC is the USA setting
<7> NigelS:it says you must specify filesystem type after the "sudo mount" line
<16> does anybody know if there is a utf8 latex-package for ubuntu? should be named tetex-unicode, latex-unicode or similar
<6> BlueOrange: yeah, a seg fault is a bug in the program - also those options say tv and lcd are mutually exclusive - choose one
<6> TheFaction20: ok, how is your external HD setup?
<6> sfar_win: ok, cool - what you need to do now is use chroot to change root dir to the mounted root drive
<17> flash don't work for 64bit?
<6> sfar_win: then run grub-install
<18> MonsieurBon: apt-cache search latex unicode, turns up latex-ucs and latex-ucs-uninames
<7> NigelS: what do u mean? its plugged into a usb port
<6> sfar_win: make any changes you need to /boot/grub/menu.lst too - e.g. add windows option
<6> TheFaction20: I mean how is it partitioned
<16> _jason, thx
<8> NigelS: oh, really? gideon@G-ubuntu:~$ sudo ./s3switch
<8> Devices attached: CRT LCD TV
<8> Devices active: LCD TV
<8> Current TV format is NTSC
<8> but i am still getting garbage on the tv .
<19> I was just messing around in the Keyboard Prefs, what does "Alt is mapped to rht right Win-key and Super to Menu mean ??
<0> idefix__: Super might be the left Win-key? (I don't have a Win-key at all, so I'm not sure.)
<8> anyone know what ntsc is vs ntscj ?
<7> NigelS:its only got one fat32. ive been trying to set up a partition to place ubuntu but i cant find a free program to do it
<5> NigelS: so i just type "chroot"? And whats "root dir" vs "mounted root drive"?
<6> BlueOrange: yeah - you might need to read the manual for that proggie, I'm not familiar with it - what happens if you specify just one option at a time, e.g. tv ntsc
<5> (im newbie)
<5> :)
<6> TheFaction20: rightho - well try sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /tmp/external
<8> NigelS: yea, id like to try that but im kinda scared! what hapens if it shuts off my ctr and the tv is still garnage? will i then be REALLY stuck !?
<17> any alternatives to flash for an amd64?
<15> A google seach indicates that NTSCJ is the Japan version of NTSC
<6> BlueOrange: does this util just work or do you have to alter your xorg settings do you know? :)
<8> NigelS: i have no idea! i was hoping it would just work :)
<7> NigelS:it now says /dev/sdc1 does not exhist
<20> hey
<21> the module for snd-intel-hda is no longer on my system...what on earth package contains the alsa sound drivers?
<20> having problems to set xgl on dapper
<5> NigelS: will "chroot" be enough or do i have to enter more information after that command? Because if i have too i need to know what "root dir" and "mounted root drive" is :)
<9> Is there any reason why i wouldn't be able to access the files on partitions ubuntu mounts in /media? I can see them all but i can't manipulate them at all. I need unrestricted access
<20> having problems to set xgl on dapper could anyone help pls?
<18> Alexiel: what filesystem?
<6> sfar_win: ok root dir I meant by that the root dir in your current tree - e.g. the one you get from the disc you booted off. When you mount your HD root partition you want to trick it as it were into thinking that that is your root dir - then when you run grub-install it will reference the current menu.lst on disk if you see what I mean? an alternative would be to run grub-install with the --root-directory option which is listed in the man file
<9> ext3
<9> _jason
<18> Alexiel: change the permissions
<9> sorry, forgot to prefix
<18> Alexiel: using chown and/or chmod
<18> Alexiel: if you want unrestricted access: chmod 777 /media/foo
<22> Hi
<9> _jason thanks
<18> Alexiel: np, you'll probably need to use sudo too
<9> got it
<5> NigelS: I understand.. Will "chroot" automatically change root dir to the mounted root? or will i have to do "chroot /dev/hda1" or something?
<6> TheFaction20: right, the message log implies it should - try /dev/sdc2 please :) if that doesn't work try fdisk /dev/sdc and see what the layout is
<8> NigelS: you said a "segmentation error: was a bug in the program. i was thinking it just ment i made a mistake in entering the syntax, like putting in extra spaces, no ?
<6> TheFaction20: oh, or cat /proc/partitions should list them iirc
<23> i get the following error when I log on "insmod: can't read <snip> vesafb.ko...I understand it's cause I have ATI...how do I stop it from trying to find it?
<6> sfar_win: you have to specify the directory in the tree, so not the device node
<23> can anyone help? ^^^^^
<6> BlueOrange: yeah, it is an error in the program though one possible source of the error (e.g. that provokes the bug) is unanticipated user input on the part of the programmer (and bad programming) other possbilities include the use of a binary on a system with different versions of libraries to the intended ones. it means it tried to access memory that it was not entitled to and the kernel stepped in to stop it
<5> NigelS: Ok i will try.. thank you for being helpful
<21> excuse me, what package do I need to reinstall to provide alsa sound modules?
<12> fixed the problem for ftp. permissions in the directory must be read-only even for root for the server to work
<7> NigelS: neither worked, when i did "fdisk /dev/sdc" it said unable to open /dev/sdc
<6> sfar_win: as I say, just run grub with that switch if you're more comfortable
<12> I mean the vsftpd server*
<20> help :\
<6> TheFaction20: that's odd - the messages implied it detected the drive and gave it the name sdc
<7> NigelS: i then did the cat /proc/partitions and idk what to do from here
<9> _jason sorry to bother you again, but that command doesn't work even with sudo. I get a lock icon on all files, but when i have nautilus open with sudo i can access them. apparently it's already 777
<8> NigelS: ah, ok interesting. OMG! it worked ! ur right. i guess u were able to decipjer from the syntax that it was either or and not both. ineresting though that the program seemed to accept me selecting both outputs. well when i did just the tv it actually worked! i was then able to switch back to the lcd !!!
<18> Alexiel: well that command only gives you access to the main folder
<9> _jason is there a command to set all files and fiolders underneath that?
<9> *folders
<18> Alexiel: yes, but you generally don't want everything to have 777 permissions. For example, a text file shouldn't be readable
<24> hey is this suitable chanel for a lame newbe question ? ;]
<18> ubuntu: perfect place for it
<25> !ask
<24> gr8
<24> so
<25> !enter
<26> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
<24> a cl***ical problem on ubuntu 5.10 with root account
<8> NigelS: OH! it would be SOOO much better if i could have both output on at the same time. I wish i tired this when i still had windows installed to see if it would work. so does it seem like this should be a hardware limitation? or maybe under windows i could have both outputs wokring at the same time? its odd that it was able to output SOMETHING to both outputs but then the tv was garbage .
<25> ubuntu, put it all on one line
<18> Alexiel: I am going to eat, there is something you can do using ``find'' to change only directories and only files. Someone else can probably show you how. I'll be back in about 10 minutes
<25> ubuntu you using the live CD ?
<27> i have this error: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=863837#post863837 <-- please help!
