Comments:
<0> you could first try pmount /dev/sda1
<1> got it
<1> cool
<2> hm, if gnome is working right, it should simply be available under /media
<0> nickrud: already checked
<1> hey nick
<1> it says it conflicts with nvidia-settings
<1> should i remove that
<2> Agrajag, ok, I'm out of sync (again)
<3> DJ_Danni the cli "hard core linux" way would be apt-cache search blah && apt-get install blah<as listed by the search> being new to linux i sujest you do your self a favour and read "man intro " and maybe "man man " <--- typing either in a terminal will be self explanitory.
<4> do i really want speaker-test though since i'm testing the optical stuff......the man page doesn't mention anything about optical/coaxial outputs
<5> ok
<1> ok, got nvidia-glx to install
<1> gonna reboot
<2> benn, yes, nvidia-settings executable comes with nvidia-glx in dapper
<1> *crosses fingers*
<2> benn, simply log out, hit clt-alt-backspace, if all is good you'll see the white nvidia screen
<3> so anyone want to tackle my boot issue now ?
<1> i just did a full reboot
<1> what the hell
<1> booyeah!
<1> hello dapper
<1> thanks a lot guys, really appreciate the help
<6> whats your boot issue intel?
<1> does this come with xgl/compiz as the default window manager
<3> i suppose i could refuse to power down until the next release comes out in 6.10 .....
<6> nvidia glx has that annoying boot logo
<6> if you want, you can turn it off.
<2> heh
<6> intel, what is your issue?
<3> troy_s hey... give me a sec and i'll repost.
<7> hey my xmms doesnt wanna play asx files
<3> i don't have a usable initramfs.img skippy and i've rebuilt it five times.
<6> hold... i'll scroll
<6> i have log.
<7> anyone know why
<3> ok let me post my question, the kernel and initramfs.img boot to an emergency 'busybox' shell where i have to modprobe aic7xxx & ext2 then mknod /dev/sda1 and mount the system on /root then exit and it goes ahead and boots. well at least far enough i can fix the rest in the init scripts... anyway, how the heck to i automate that three step process in the initramfs ?
<3> there ^
<6> asx is ugly proprietary ms stuff
<7> troy word
<8> hey, does anyone know what package / repository I need to use to get MP3 playback for 6.06?
<6> surF: you can play it ***uming a few things:
<7> aha
<6> A) IF you are on a 64 bit box, wmv will not work last time i checked (only 32 bit libs out there and it is hokey to work around not worth it)
<0> Drasla: gstreamer-plugins-bad I think
<6> B) figure out what codec is inside the asx
<0> gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse
<0> that one
<6> and just vert it.
<6> intel
<9> troy_s: some wmv will work, but mostly not
<6> is there a driver stopping your boot effectively?
<7> vert it?
<7> convert it ah
<2> gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly is correct for mp3s
<7> all this terminology rocks
<6> transcode, mencode, vlc -- start with one of those. vlc has a handy graphical vert system
<7> im glad its NON MS tho
<0> oh, I got that backwards
<2> SurfnKid, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
<0> I thought ugly were the broken ones
<6> surf: spread the knowledge about the downside of proprietary closed source things...
<6> no
<10> anyone using WEP64 and able to connect? I'm a bit unsure as to exactly what needs to be entered for the key
<6> ugly means bound up with closed source, an end user licence (eula) or other things...
<7> nickrud yea have yet to finish that page i should do that
<2> haven't figured out how the heck they chose those names, just checked the dependencies :)
<6> did you know that you cannot legally play a dvd on a linux box in north america?
<6> varian: wep should be fine
<6> varian: you using dapper or breezy?
<10> dapper
<2> SurfnKid, it's good thru flash, can't vouch for the rest
<6> varian: ***uming your card supports it, it should be fine then.
<8> I've tried searching for those. the packages don't exist in any of the repositories I've enabled
<6> ugly
<6> not bad
<6> i believe in dapper
<6> they are called ugly
<10> but do I use Hex or Ascii? I have they key (generated by a p***code from the router)
<7> eright
<6> intel: you can specify kernel parameters in your grub menu.
<10> it seems to misformat the key when I do an iwconfig
<6> intel: once you track down what the exact issue is that is preventing boot, you can add them to the kernel line.
<3> troy_s mmmm the error message is something like can't mount root fs no such device and another error saying no /sbin/init on root fs
<6> varian: ok... have you started with the network gui app in gnome?
<10> yes
<6> intel: your root partition is probably not specified correctly in your grub menu
<10> essid is correct, using dhcp, its pretty vanilla
<3> troy_s lilo... and the lilo.conf is correct.
<6> varian: and you are certain it is wepped?
<6> not wpad?
<10> positive
<11> sorry i cant be much help here i dont understand the boot partition at all :(
<6> intel: erm... did you change to lilo?
<6> varian: ok, and you obviously double checked the key?
<3> no i installed it at the first...
<3> it is an option you know
<6> intel: if i remember, every change you make to lilo
<6> intel: requires lilo to be run after you make all of your changes to make sure the binary works.
<10> re-entered a few times, but with wep64 the key is xx-xx-xx-xx-xx...in iwconfig its xxx-xxx-xxx
<12> i followed instructions to install nvidia drivers... i think everything went ok... but if I go to device manager... the agp bridge showsn Unknown(ox0221)... device tab sais nVidia Corporation but Device: Unknown.. it also sais Bus type: PCI when its AGP ... does this mean that my card doesn't have the drivers installed ?
<3> yes you have to update it with lilo
<3> lilo is not the issue.
<6> varian: the wep should always amount to a hex value. start with hex on the router AND as your key, then migrate to plaintext once you get connected.
<3> it is initramfs.img
<6> varian: and you know it works.
<1> hey, so i got ubuntu to boot right, but now it's not liking my wireless connection, any ideas why?
<6> intel - did you run lilo though after you made the changes?
<1> it worked fine in breezy and i didn't change a thing
<3> but i don't know exactly what to do to it...
<6> benn: is it encrypted? is the wireless nic working? are you in range? does it see any routers?
<3> troy_s i should have used your nick sorry.
<13> anyone know how to install sdl image
<10> the key is hex, 9fa1a2ba etc...I just cant get a connection
<3> all my posts were to you. troy_s ^
<1> troy_s: it's encrypted, but i'm 100% sure i have the right key, i am 2 feet away from the router
<6> intel: any reason you aren't using grub? it is a little easier to manage. lilo caused me headaches when i was running a custom linux... works, but the always running lilo after changes was a pain.
<1> i'll check to see if i can load the router page
<10> i just dont know if it's user error or attributed to all the broadcom problems ive been reading about
<6> benn: no, does your wireless card appear to be working in linux? or does it not show up under network gui gnome app?
<2> deameyes, install libsdl-image1.2
<3> troy_s no particular reason other than i just don't like grub. it seems weak.
<6> varian: yes. don't forget to send polite mail requesting that the vendor open their documentation up to the open source community to help _everyone_, not just linux
<13> yea I got the source for that, how do I install it?
<7> guys what other flavor you think ubuntu will be superseeded
<2> SurfnKid, eh?
<6> intel: ok... start with running sudo lilo and see if that fixes it :)
<1> troy_s: the card shows up fine, there's an icon in my tray that says eth1 is connected and has 100% signal strength, but no programs will connect
<7> yeah well like debian came out, knoppix, ubuntu, fedora
<12> can someone help me out... read up ^
<3> troy_s no that didn't fix it.
<6> benn: sounds like encryption then.
<7> so im just thinking what else could come out
<11> do you mean super seeded as in a torrent, or supersceded as in forgotten about?
<2> deameyes, sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2 no source needed
<1> troy_s: 100% sure i have the right network key
<6> intel: well then it sounds like a lower kernel level thing, you will need to localize it.
<13> ok thanks
<2> deameyes, if you're compiling source that needs that, install libsdl-image1.2-dev
<3> troy_s localized to initramfs.img how local do you want it ?
<13> nah, I just need to install it
<6> intel: that is a binary output image though... if you can get it to boot, you need to figure out what the difference is.
<6> intel: you can force that to be rebuilt.
<14> hey, how can I quit x and drop down to a terminal?
<15> Anyone know roughly how many files are included in the default ubuntu install?
<11> dizy are you still there
<16> I cannot install applications the old fashion way in ubuntu?
<2> deameyes, nearly everything you'll need is apt-gettable; the best way to look for the right package is apt-cache search: I did apt-cache search sdl image to find the package for you
<12> yea
<6> jrsims: do you want a plain terminal in x or a full command line resolution term?
