Uplink: try starting it this way: gvim -geometry 800x600+50+50
better off using rmdir
Uplink: these are X options...you can make them default for some apps adding them to .Xdefaults file
Uplink: ask google for more help about that topic....or read the manpages

how do I instal the original open driver for my ati card?
LF|Irssi: they are (until you delete them)
ivodalves: you are probably going to have to patch the stock kernel from kernel.org to get it to compile in ubuntu. Not sure. Try getting the pre-modified sources from ubuntu if you want to compile a kernel
outbri: Its a Nextar MA715
TTT: You can do this with VMware and Virtual PC.
ok cool, and thanks for putting up with my earlier jrib , i got it finally figured out :)
I just upgraded to 8.10 and my second monitor won't turn on anymore. ATI Radeon 2400 XT graphics card, restored my existing xorg.conf that I backed up, with no effect. I'm also stuck at 800x600 resolution. What can I do?
does anybody know how i can fix this. i run americas army 2.5 for linux and it gives me two mouse pointers. and the secound one stays there after i join a game. it is kinda annoying.
Is it possible to get a vanilla version of firefox? I don't want to install synaptic, gksu, etc. Just good ol' firefox.
Uplink: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XWindow-User-HOWTO/moreconfig.html
LF|Irssi: good (this way you don't bug me every time you need a symlink see :P)
lol
Flare183: don't know any specifics for that player. you could try going to plugins and checking the mp3 players plugin.
how can I completely uninstall Ubuntu move all of the space back to my windows partition, and remove GRUB?
DasEI: i am not sure how to relaunch a failed live boot
beli: oooh thanx dude
is there a tutorial for that?
FightBack: use a partitioning tool like partition magic or gparted, and use "fixmbr" on your windows installation media to get rid of grub
how do i enable DMA on my DVD drive in Ubuntu 8.10? the !dma factoid is for older versions and does not apply.
eido: are you in live now ?
FightBack: The folks in ##windows can help you recover that space.
ryanakca, Ubuntu desktop installed has FF and synaptic as default
DasEI: yes, I see the live directory structure but don't know how to re load
fixmbr? how do I run that?
eido: in live cd, open a terminal ..
ok so i now have ubuntu on my moniter and tv screen, but can not set the resolution correctly (not the right options in nvidia-settings) and when i try to open a windows on the tv screen side it opens on the moniter and i cant drag it over

any ideas ?
FightBack: put windows installation disc in, choose repair console, type fixmbr..
ok, thanks man
FightBack: /join ##windows they can help you at this point, as its a Windows support issue.
DasEI: all I have is initramfs I can switch consoles but no change
FightBack: That won't get your space back, only get rid of grub.
ok, ok, thanks
how can i restore my panel config to default?
yeah i understand
thanks {Pici

Uplink: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel »
also, since my other comp is running in low graphics mode it is using 100 megs less.. wow, how can I enable this mode on a machine that has a working graphics card?
eido: didn't you say you already were in live ?
I fucking hate windows buti 'm not able to get my graphics card working in Ubuntu
ryanakca, well your system has aptitude installed that you can use from the command line and install FF that way.. what desktop are you using if any?

scunizi: I don't have ubuntu-desktop installed, nor do I plan on installing it... I just want to install firefox without pulling in a pile of dependencies that I don't need :)
DasEI: the live boot bombed and dumped me to intiramfs which seems to have minimal bash function
"Leaving."
outbri: Thats not helping
yes mother
ryanakca, so what desktop do you have? if you're entirely text based with no gui FF won't do you much good. elinks is an alternative.
eido: I see, gotta try boot options , then.. kinda machine ? hardy or ibex ?
scunizi: kubuntu-desktop... yes, gksu, synaptic & company are depends. Doesn't matter where I'm installing it from, the firefox package will pull them in..
How can i check what gateway i've set in 8.10 server?

How do I order a program to run on tty# at bootup?
DasEI: kernel 2.6.24-19-eeepc
a window not Windows
D3RGPS31: sounds pretty difficult to me. you'd first have to log in to that terminal.
curses!
scunizi: I suppose I'm better of just making my own package?
does somebody know if slax-server even exist? or is it dead?
please tell me how I can reinstall default graphics driver
ryanakca, ah.. try epiphany.. it's basically a stripped FF. same look and feel.. might not need all the dependancies..
ryanakca: that's not the case on Hardy, i have firefox installed and none of the stuff you mention
D3RGPS31: it's more than the question of running the prog, it's also a matter of your user being logged in there
found it, colinux, too bad it's not ubuntu
ryanakca: perhaps you have automatic installation of "Suggests" enabled for some reason? firefox has the package "firefox-3.0-gnome-support" as a Suggests, which would explain that behavior
prince_jammys what about using rc.local?
"Ex-Chat"
eido : an asus ?
DasEI: I made a bootable usb with eeebuntu since no cd-rom on the netbook. can boot with standard 8.10 but no nic wireless or wired and so much tweeking is needed so I went with eeebuntu which should work out of the box but i get dumped to initramfs
why does my gedit take years to load?
noob here, I need some help trying to change my screen resolution. I have looked on the forums and tried everything, but I still can not change it to what I want. I have a HP laptop with the intel 945 chipset
DasEI: yes 1000 series
thx. It is correct. Then why i'm not able to ping any internet IPs? What can be the problem?
LjL: Lucky. I think all the extra bloat is so that new users can install non-free plugins when they go on
D3RGPS31: i don't know how that would be done, because there's still the login issue

LjL: hmm.. I'll look.
ACTION just installed GNOME onto his Kubuntu, because AfterStep and Pidgin aren't getting along
D3RGPS31: the tty has not yet given your user an interactive shell
ryanakca: maybe, yet i just also checked http://apt.alturl.com/ and it confirms that firefox depends on none of that stuff. check whether the gnome support package is installed for you.
D3RGPS31: in rc.local just write program > /dev/tty12 &
it will be at tty12

D3RGPS31: cool. i suppose that prog will be running as root?
ravster: Ow.
lavacano201014: ?
prince_jammys wouldn't hurt
ravster: You deleted a module on accident. Ow.
I just don't understand why apt-get can't just remove the entry from the database and be cool about it.
LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/70724/ ... firefox-3.0-gnome-support is only in suggests
A friend of mine told me that I should learn to use said. Can anyone tell me what said is?
justin_: 'sed'
Can anyone help me try to figure out my screen resolution problem. I have an HP laptop with the i945 intel chip. I have tried for the last 3 days to fix it, but haven't figured it out.
ravster: what kernel version are you using?
justin_: Open a shell and run "man sed"
lavacano201014: I'm a woman....
how would I go about getting the icons on my desktop to stack on the right instead of the left?
LjL: found it... firefox-3.0 -> ubufox -> apturl -> synaptic
justin_: "man" is a command to read computer manual pages for the program specified
PixelSmack: 2.6.24-21-generic
lavacano201014: Thanks! BYe
Is there an application out there that can tell me if my file is nothing but a bunch of zeros?
... but ubufox is only a suggests for firefox-3.0 ... *sigh*
Not sure why a woman would use the nick justin_, but meh
SJr|Nbook: you can use grep for that
ravster: does apt run at all?
ryanakca: it's a Recommends on Hardy (which is probably why my site doesn't show it)
hey does virtualbox for repo support usb in intrepid?
I'm looking for something that can look amoung a bunch of downloaded files off the net, with Azureus and tell me if the file is corrupt / i.e. not complete.
ryanakca: and Recommends get installed by default
fryguy by zeros I mean
can i make icons appear on the right of the screen?
PixelSmack: yes, it just can't find System.map and the modules directory and fails. dpkg giving error (1) and all that.
SJr|Nbook: grep can do that
Ah
LjL: hmm... isn't there an aptitude option to block packages? I tried hold... but doesn't seem to do anything...
lavacano201014, maybe she's on her blokes account?
PixelSmack: apt-get can do other things without problems.
can someone point me in the right direrction to change the res on the second head of a dual head display please ..
netsurf3: Possibly.
ravster: try apt-get -f

the correct res is not one of the given options

SJr|Nbook, unless you get the md5 hash of the downloaed app how will it know if the app is corrupt or ont?
