<OpsVentus> Hello all, does anyone know of a way to convert NTFS to ext3 without losing data?
<hyphenated> TorbX: you can try to repair it using fsck, but there's no promises that it'll work well
<redguy> OpsVentus: no way to convert NTFS to ext3 that I know of
<TorbX> DAMN THAT THING! So its garbage now? I tried writing fsck, but turned out bad. Garbage next?
<redguy> OpsVentus: you could copy all the data from ntfs to ext3
<root____2> omg.. how do i install the nvidia drivers?
<darren> _jason, wow this is hard
<redguy> !tell root____2 about nvidia
<s_v_e_n> thechris: I would look, if there are new Xorg or gdm packages
<OpsVentus> ****, I got a 250 GB ntfs partition almost full, I want fat32 or ext3
<MrSun> can someone pretty please give me the line for the default ubuntu gpm config?! :7
<thechris> s_v_e_n: i think there was something with X in the upgrade
<root____2> redguy if that was a msg bot it doesnt work
<bongshoe> yeah i'm sure microsoft has a nice free NTFS to ext3 converter available on their website :P
<redguy> !nvidia
<ubotu> nvidia is, like, at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368
<_jason> darren: just ask here if you get stuck, I own an nvidia so I can't really help you
<snozle> can someone help me out? I want to install abiword 2.4.2 (because of odt export feature) but it's not available on the ubuntu servers. I downloaded the source code from the abiword site. What is the best way to go about updating the current version on my system to 2.4.2 with the source code?
<redguy> root____2: strange, it should work
<snozle> should I remove the current abiword installation with apt-get remove then install from source?
<root____2> im in irssi
<root____2> no X fro me
<bongshoe> is there any way to install from a live cd?
<thechris> s_v_e_n: i did say that i am on the computer that has problem, logged into vc1, vc2, vc3. i just can't loging to X without crashing it.
<bongshoe> 5.1
<cheatersrealm> what is the default ubuntu kernel?
<cheatersrealm> (package)
<redguy> ADC_: did you try grub's website? there is a page explaining errorcodes there
<root____2> redguy i cant read that without a browser
<root____2> no X man
<s_v_e_n> thechris: start another dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
<redguy> root____2: install lynx or elinks then
<pcek> irssi rulez
<ADC_> redguy: the page on error codes said it was a hard disk error. I'm a noob, unfortunately; I don't know where to start looking on how to repair that from the live CD. I didn't see anything in the menu.
<anagramarama> sudo apt-get install links
<darren> _jason, I've download the ATI file with the .run at the end to my desktop and on the ati site they say to type ./ati-driver-installer-8.20.8.run in a terminal window once I've navigated to the desktop folder, now I'm lost
<bongshoe> is it at all possible to install onto HD from a live bootable ubuntu 5.1 disc?
<_jason> darren: the wiki should tell you what to do
<bongshoe> i know some distros can do that
<darren> _jason, when I typed it I got ./ati-driver-installer-8.21.7.run: No such file or directory
<kma> I need to install the kernel from dapper because of SMP problems. What is the correct why to do this? Seems like the last time I tried I kinda bricked my ubuntu installation. Is there a page with instructions or something like that?
<ilba7r> anyone know of a pdf editor in linux.
<redguy> bongshoe: you can do that from the DVD, you can't from the CD AFAIK
<_jason> darren: in linux, . means the current directory. So you would have to be in the right directory
<pcek> darren sh ati-driver-installer-8.21.7.run in folder with ati
<anagramarama> open office writer can write pdfs
<_jason> darren: but the wiki doesn't tell you to do that, please read it
<mllr> if you have a widescreen display and want awesome wallpapers msg me, i'm going to host all my wallpaper on my server.
<ilba7r> i need an editor not to export pdf files
<shadows> i'm not here to start a war, but i'd like to ask the best inexpensive graphics card to drive a DVI 19" flat panel, and play dvd or divx/avi movies?
<bongshoe> k thx redguy
<shadows> i don't keep up lately on video card tech
<shadows> it'd have to be AGP and less than $50
<shadows> plus ubuntu workable
<redguy> ADC_: hrm, to repair grub you could run grub-install I suppose. Can you give any info on when the problem started to occur?
<darren> pcek, get the same error
<ilba7r> thanx anagramarama exporting to pdf format can be done on any linux appl. It is the ability to open and edit pdf files that i need
<darren> _jason, how do I know if I'm in the right folder?
<redguy> ADC_: (after pulling out/ putting a new disk inside the box perhaps? changing partition layout?)
<redguy> bongshoe: no problem
<thechris> ok, well my computer will probably crash now...
<_jason> darren: it's the folder you downloaded it to
<_jason> ubotu: tell darren about cli
<thechris> ok...
<darren> _jason, I started reading the wiki but the first command gave me an error: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
<slavik> _jason: how can I find kooldock's config file?
<thechris> my computer didn't crash -- BUT i have 2 mice...
<pcek> darren: open terminal, cd Desktop, sudo sh ati...run
<_jason> darren: close synaptic
<ADC_> redguy: Just today. I have been having problems with my hardware before - I believe it's a faulty motherboard, and it's always been fixable when I pop one of the RAM sticks in and then back out again. Until today, the system would freeze occasionally at the bios screen, and only a reboot (with RAM popping) would get it going again. Also, sometimes it would freeze in mid-session, often crashing out to a screen asking for a login which never
<ADC_> actually allowed me to log in. Never before now has it given me a GRUB error, however. I suspect it's because of all those unwanted reboots during sessions. That can't be good for the main hard drive.
<_jason> pcek: if he follows the wiki it will be installed as a package so that he can always remove it if he wishes to
<darren> pcek, cd desktop gives me bash: cd: desktop: No such file or directory
<keiron> can someone please recommend an application that will let me see the GUI of one ubuntu box from another ubuntu box, like rdesktop?
<_jason> slavik: do you know what it is called? it's probably in your homefolder and starts with a .
<redguy> shadows: almost any nvidia AGP card could do that for you
<kma> keiron: vnc?
<shadows> redguy: okay
<stalefries> darren: capitalize Desktop
<anagramarama> ilba7r, IIRC kword can work natively with pdf
<shadows> redguy: something from newegg? i don't even know what to look for
<keiron> kma: thanks ill check it out
<ilba7r> anagramarama, not if the file has graphics it just crash
<shadows> redguy: i'm looking this up for a friend, personally i use ATI products that have open source drivers
<slavik> _jason: nope
<darren> stalefries, did that and it worked but the command pcek gave doesnt
<slavik> _jason: how would I search for any file containing 'kooldock' in the name?
<Noobhelp> u are making fun of.. me.. u say to go on linuxhelp they say to go at you!!!
<ilba7r> anagramarama, i am using it for review purposes and am afraid pdf professional does not work even with cross over
<stalefries> Sorry, I haven't been following that, and I just logged in.
<stalefries> I just saw that you didn't capitalize.
<redguy> shadows: once I had a P II box connected to a 21' with a RIVA TNT2 inside and it had problems only with some higher definition xvids. Didnt try to play DVDs on it though...
<_jason> slavik: sudo updatedb, then do 'locate kooldock'
