Comments:

<0> for some reason i can't use my mouse. there is no /dev/mice or /dev/psaux or other device so gpm can't work, ideas?
<1> ok. Well it's just that I just burnt 5.10 and it stalls at bootup (from the CD) something around the k/b section
<1> k/b = keyboard
<2> spolcyd, so just chack the MD5 of the image file after you download it, then make sure your burning software is set to 'verify' whatever it burns.
<3> sagi: is there a /dev/input/mice ?
<0> nope, there is no /dev/input/* at all
<0> and dmesg shows usb mouse..
<0> usb uid v bla bla bla..
<3> sagi: do you have the hotplug package installed?
<4> how do i load ndiswrapper instead of the default kernel mod on boot?
<0> Ng, ofcourse.
<3> sagi: hmm, strange
<4> i remember seeing something about hotplug, but i can't get it to work
<0> very strange, i wouldn't come with that stupid Q if i had not tried all the simple solutions ;p
<0> I can't really remember the cause for this, it could be the kernel upgrade apt-get did, tho i can't remember when I did that.. had no time to touch linux for vewy vewy long time.
<5> hi



<5> in ubuntu what's the equivalent of unstable in debian ?
<6> floppyears, "unstable"
<3> floppyears: there isn't a direct equivalent, but the current development branch is called dapper
<7> Will the ubuntu installer take care of resizing NTFS partitions without destroying data in the process? A friend is wanting to dual-boot.
<5> is it stable like unstable in debian ?
<6> floppyears, no
<3> floppyears: yes and no
<3> Tuxiscool: it worked ok on my laptop, but your friend should backup important data first
<8> does anyone know of a torrent client that can run in shell/console that has a web interface so that i can control it from over the network on another pc?
<0> whats /dev/.static ? i can see there psaux and input dir.
<8> also.. how do i turn CVS stuff.. into packages
<3> floppyears: if you're not comfortable repairing a broken system, you probably don't want to bother with dapper yet
<7> Ng: As I thought, thanks!
<5> Ng: I'm comfortable repairing the system, but how often do things break ?
<5> of if they break, how often does a fix or information on how to fix the problem show up online
<0> could be i have to create /dev/psaux with mknod?
<9> How can i get apps like XMMS and Konversation in the System Tray ?
<10> howcomes: right-click your panel
<11> ok. firefox 1.5 up and running :) thanks. is there any disk error scanning or defragmenting features in breezy? or does it even need? (i'm new to linux)
<10> and add\
<0> I can't use my mouse, there is no /dev/psaux, no /dev/input/*, no where i can find the device for him. it's a usb one and dmesg does show to matchen it.
<12> funbitz: fsck
<10> er ..wait nevermind
<10> that for system tools etc
<12> sagi: lsusb
<12> sagi: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
<11> jcole_home : it says Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause severe filesystem damage :)
<0> lsusb show a webcam and some sunplus technology
<13> why is the mouse pointer different in firefox?
<12> sagi: hal-device-manager
<14> damn my box is slow like hell its been compioling the kernel for 2 hours :( 2G intel 3.0mHz :( something wrong with default kernel for sure
<11> jcole_home : i only have a partition (and the swap one)
<0> no such file or..
<12> funbitz: and it will... it will do it every 30 reboots automatically anyway, so don't worry about it
<0> The issue is there is no device for the mouse at /dev/ dir
<0> for some reason..
<12> sagi: are you running ubuntu or kubuntu
<0> I also have gnome and also have kde
<11> is there some article in the wiki about installing mplayer?
<0> kubuntu is the distro tho
<15> is there any command such as alien in terminal?
<16> hey, im goin to install ubuntu on this pc which has 1 ntfs drive and 1 fat32 drive will it install right and be able to dual boot also i have a nvidia geforce4 ti 4200 with agp8x will it work dual monitors with ubuntu?
<15> i saw it on the web but when i type it in terminal, it says that there is no such command
<17> ubotu tell funbitz about mplayer
<0> by the way i don't know if it has a connection, also during boot he can't use expr since cannot excute binary file..and can't find /dev/psaux
<17> ColD_7: sudo aptitude install alien (if universe is enabled)
<12> sagi: apt-get install hal-device-manager
<0> already tried that. he can't find that package
<0> what apt src have it?
<0> ho
<0> he says he have the newst version already
<0> oh i found it
<12> sagi: it's part of ubuntu-desktop standard
<17> ColD_7: sorry, it's in main (no universe required)
<0> dude, i don't have X
<0> how do you want me to run that? :oP
<15> thanks bimberi
<0> X is not starting since mice is not working
<12> sagi: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
<0> already did that.
<0> he couldn't run since he couldn't find the mouse device.



<17> ColD_7: np :)
<12> sagi: lspci
<0> It's usb.
<0> dmesg DOES show the mouse device.
<8> does anyone know of a bittorrent client that can run in shell/console that has a web interface so that i can control it from over the network on another pc?
<16> hey, im goin to install ubuntu on this pc which has 1 ntfs drive and 1 fat32 drive will it install right and be able to dual boot also i have a nvidia geforce4 ti 4200 with agp8x will it work dual monitors with ubuntu?
<17> Chrisx1: yes, the installer should set up a dualboot system ok - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsDualBootHowTo
<16> bimberi, u got answer to my other question?
<18> does anyone know the website for UbuntuH2?
<17> Chrisx1: check your hardware via https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
