<4> matt__ with what?
<0> okay well this is the 3rd distro i have downloaded and i still can not get my nvidia drivers to work
<5> same
<5> I have the exact same problem
<0> i follow the directions perfectly and it always just makes my screen go into the power save mode when i enable the nvidia drivers
<4> mmm ... I never tried that...
<4> sorry
<0> :(
<6> what 'directions' ?
<5> Installed Ubuntu Clean on a hardrive - Have a 7800GT Nvidia PCI Express Video Card, the standard drivers where not working, so I tried installing the latest Nvidia linux drivers for my AMD64 System, I followed a HOWTO: thread on the Ubuntu Forums... Installed the headers, sources, build-essentials to the current kernal I am using with Ubuntu. After doing all of that, the screen still looks all distorted, and X Server freezes
<2> matt__: what hardware you running, dual proc xeon or p4?
<7> hello, my son is 5 and i'm setting his computer up. so far so good except for the fact that it won't let me pick simple p***words like fish bird, etc. how can i change that?
<2> jason_: do it from the cli
<6> jason_ why don't you make it auto-login?
<2> sudo p***wd <username>
<5> the latest drivers seemed to install flawlessly... the screen still looks distorted... and when i edit my xorg.conf x server does not boot
<0> i have an amd antholon
<2> matt__: 32bit?
<0> ya
<7> Quintok, i use that as a tool to help him spell. i change his p***word every week in a while and he has to learn to spell a new word
<8> boy im still here
<9> matt__, use i386
<2> hmm don't think there any bugs there..
<9> matt__, sorry, just jumped in, don't know what the question was
<6> jason_, heh, that's cute. I'll have to remember that.
<9> matt__, what nvidia card do you have?
<0> and the thing is i have tryed installed nvidia drivers on debian, mandrake, and ubuntu and they all have that same problem
<10> does anyone know why I loose sound when my laptop wakes up?
<11> i keep getting this error when trying to run wine, can anyone help me, im sure i screwed up a simple config thing..."Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible."
<0> nvidia fx somthing
<11> i keep getting this error when trying to run wine, can anyone help me, im sure i screwed up a simple config thing..."Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible."
<12> hi anyone know how to change the timeserver ubuntu syncs to at bootup?
<11> oops sorry for twice
<2> matt__: geforce4 or older?
<6> matt, run: "lspci | grep nv*"
<11> ubuntu: its in a file...
<0> newer
<13> hi, which program may I use to pause downloads and then continue them another day?
<14> for what?
<15> jsestri: is there a windows partition you are trying to get to?
<16> hey guys where can I find the folder ~/.xchat2?
<11> odin__: I dont think so...I'm just trying to run it, I've pointed C: to a directory on my linux partion (ext3)
<16> so I can load a script?
<17> GTroy: /home/(your username)/.xchat2 ?
<18> GTroy: at ~/.xchat2 :)
<5> can someone please help me with me 7800gt nvidia card running on dapper drake amd64
<8> manika not sure if wget would work
<6> GTroy: ~ = /home/(your username)/, so cd ~ is the same as cd /home/(your username)
<16> how do I go there from nautilus?
<11> ubuntu: /etc/ntp.conf
<12> jsestri2, ok thanks
<6> GTroy: all hidden folders start with a ., press ctrl+H in your home directory and a heap of folders will popup (including .xchat2)
<15> jsestri2: hm, well so far I have only worked with xwine...
<11> odin__: is xwine easier?
<8> hey sestri2 how can you edit that ntp.conf thru the terminal window? curious
<16> quintok, thanks what I needed to know
<11> odin__: i'm looking for a quick and easy way to wine, nothing special
<15> jsestri2: xwine is a gui for wine
<11> odin__: there's no dapper package...damn
<15> jsestri2: basically you need wine, and when you run xwine it runs wine in the background
<11> odin__: ah, well i gotta get wine running first then i bet
<1> does anyone know why i would need to install a console for VMware after i installed vmware server?
<6> issaker: because you need a way to communicate with VMware, I think... I thought the console was part of the server install?
<19> What is the default root p***word?
<15> jsestri2: what parameters are you using for wine?
<7> wine is getting better and better. seems they pop a new release out every couple days
<11> odin__: well i tried it again just now and it appears to be working mostly, error messages or not
<6> anusien: root is disabled by default, you use the 'sudo' command with your p***word to use the root account. you can change this of course.
<20> plop
<7> biovore, changing the p***word with p***wd doesn't work either. get the same message 'p***word too simple'
<15> jsestri: I think its just trying to reference to an empty path, specifically a windows partition, but you can change that, at least you can in xwine
<5> Need help with my 7800gt nvidia card, installed the latest drivers. Distortion will not go away, and still freezes after a while. Thanks.
<8> what app can i install to auto scroll with my mouse pad?
<1> quintok, i think it is too
<2> jason_: then is something in the security policy stuff.. look at the debian system managment manual
<6> issaker, it should be in your application menu under... system tools I think. geez I only had it installed a couple of days ago and I've already forgotten.
<21> need help to find the linux driver for ezonics icotnact web camera. Look for in google but nothing than windows drivers
<19> hrm, I feel like there is some sort of security implications with your root p***word being your p***word
<2> jason_: it somewhere under /etc/pam.d/
<22> how do I read the docs in /usr/share/doc ? I know of man and info, but don't know what uses those files
<6> Anusien: it's not the same, root p***word by default is randomly generated each install of ubuntu
<19> well, you can sudo with the same p***word
<23> hey guy's i've just installed ubuntu on my hp dv5040 and everything seems to be working but at the console i receive a lot of messages: [ 9772.263542] hdc: error code: 0x70 sense_key: 0x02 asc: 0x30 ascq: 0x00 This messege repeats forever and on.. any idea of how to fix that?
<1> yah quintok, im making a virtual machine right now, im just wondering if im missing anything
<6> Anusien: well you need to be able to use root somehow, lol
<19> well, I have marginal Fedora experience, so I was waiting for being asked for a root p***word
<24> Is there a way to recover my files from an ext3?
<2> QMario: maybe
<6> Anusien: it's so your account is sort-of-root. so you can use root powers when you need it but for the most part they're disabled. Yea I know what you mean I was waiting for the root p***word question too.
<2> QMario: what you do to bugger it up?
<5> if no one wants to help, can someone atleast give me a link to a HOWTO guide or something for the latest nvidia cards.
<21> Hi boys. i already googled looking for drivers for my web camera, but not success
<8> fedora ****s :(
<8> maybe i **** at commands
<8> either way, ubuntu is working :D
<24> Biovore, " mount -t gmailfs /usr/local/bin/gmailfs.py /my/home/directory -o username=gmailuser, p***word=gmailp***, fsname=zOlRRa "
<23> i can't use the console.. the following message repeats and just stop when i put a CD at the drive. [ 9770.286124] hdc: error code: 0x70 sense_key: 0x02 asc: 0x30 ascq: 0x00
<2> redhat is fine.. rpm just drives me nuts
<23> how to fix that?
<6> I'm ex-debian, never actually tried fedora/redhat.
<8> ex-debian too
<8> ewww
<8> got away from that, REAL QUICK
<21> can some body point me where to find drivers for web camera ezonics icontact
<2> QMario: try a -o loop in there
<21> I will apreciate your cooperation
<25> hi,newbie here...can't seem to dual boot with windows,HALL.DLL always seem to get corrupted...any suggestions?
<6> debian is good, but you have to know what your doing.
<8> its good if you're an expert but im not there just yet
<8> Quintok exactly
<2> QMario: I am guessing that qmailfs.py is a filesystem.. but that .py extention screems its a py script.. so I am not sure why your tring to mount it for..
<24> Biovore, what is an "-o loop"?
<21> well, Thanks guys...sorry to bother you
<26> So, I'm downloading Ubuntu right now, but I'm curious... how much hand holding does it do?
<2> QMario: -o loop option tells mount to use a file instead of a block device.. so you can mount an .iso file if you wanted
<13> wget says the file I'm trying to download has a 'too long filename'... still, I must download it, now what? :P
<24> Is it possible to unmount it?
<26> I've installed Suse, Mepis, PClinuxOS, Mandriva, all the 'user friendlies' but ubuntu... they made me feel really restricted... does anyone here get that feeling from ubuntu?
<2> QMario: if its mounted.. yes
<27> where can i specify that the startup script calls the gnome-setting-daemon before starting gdm?
<5> I need help fixing my distortion problem with a 7800gt nvidia card on amd64 system - running Ubuntu Dapper Drake
<28> Hye
<6> adamant1988, no not at all... well, atleast not in my opinion. you can still f-up your linux install like you should be able to.
<24> It says device is busy.
<2> adamant1988: apt allows you to be a bit more free, but linux as a desktop is still hit and miss.. linux is ment to be a server.. thus you have to think old school.
<28> how can i get speed of a wireless interface
<19> okay, now to configure this thing
<28> like the speed I am connected at?
<29> adamant1988: well maybe the interface isnt really "tolerant", but you still have access to the console/shell/terminal/whatever you want to call it, so you could add anything to the system
<29> adamant1988: if you want a restrictive linux distribution, try Linspire :S
<27> andrejkw: iwconfig should print it out for you
<26> No no, I don't like the restricted feeling.
<8> anyone know how to turn on the fans on my inspiron 8600 with ubuntu
<8> or what app
<26> I've dropped a lot of distros that felt wrong and I've got this narrowed down to Ubuntu and debian by elimination
<5> anyone there?
<30> does 5.10 have the 'server' install stuff?
<29> almost no distribution is "really" restrictive, its just a matter of how much you want to customize it
<27> GoLoGo: ask your quest again
<8> nn like what?
<7> adamant1988, i've installed them all as well. i'd say i prefer ubuntu and mandriva. leaning toward ubuntu because i like the 'debian way' and being up to date. i do feel restricted a bit, though but am learning to live with it and maybe even think some of that's better than say the distro that has been my main one for 6 years, mandriva. for instance sudo every command instead of just suing in
<5> I need help fixing my distortion problem with a 7800gt nvidia card on amd64 system - running Ubuntu Dapper Drake
<24> How do I tell Ubuntu not to mount a filesystem when it starts?
<27> GoLoGo: best bet is joining ubuntu+1 for dapper questions
<29> adamant1988: what do you wanted to do with ubuntu? I mean, what kind of restrictions do you see?
