If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
So, I just rebooted, and now compiz isn't working. I had done nothing to mess with compiz prior to rebooting, and I can't get it back. Any suggestions from the crowd?
Is there a way to run the package manager off the live CD against a repository on an already installed hard drive? I wanted to remove some stuff with it.
Jordan_U: i didnot do anything, just when i was in colombia it works fine,but now i am in venezuela it doesnot work
asiks: /
asiks: make 3 partitions / for root, /home for home and /swap ..
scunizi: swap, not /swap
and /home frankly is optional
it makes a swap one automatically
i think
CuriosTiger: tue
It does.
mlissner-- try enabling it again?
CuriosTiger: having a seperate /home is typically a good idea
but if you're in manual mode, we don't necessarily assume the auto-generated stuff survived :)
Xcell: Sadly, no dice.
if i make /home a separate partition, that would mean if i have to reinstall again or for the next upgrade, i can keep what's in home more easily?
scunizi: Not a big issue on modern systems, although I'll agree it's still a good habit.
asiks, Yes
asiks: basically.
all you did was fresh boot?
I have a 180 gig HD. How much space should I allocate for home?
mlissner, What GFX card and did you ever install proprietary drivers manually?
Xcell: well, it crashed first, but that's nothing new. I may have installed the latest updates since my last update.
and by 180 i mean 150 apparently
Jordan_U: I have the i965 Intel card
Jordan_U: where is the problem?
how to slove grub Error17
Wolf23, Was that last comment meant for me?
My /boot is a dependent area

me=jaunty amd64, cannot mount as user external ntfs partition without using sudo. I have tried all the tips I can find in google. (setuid on ntfs-3g and rebuild ntfs-3g with internal FUSE, and set mount point to be readable by the user.) Help please!!!
Wolf23, I don't know what is causing the problem you are having with VMware
So no ideas how to get this going, huh?
evanotten-- using vlc should allow you to click on screen menue
Anyone have any advice on how to partition my drive?
doesn't one usually have to be root to mount/unmount to begin with?
Follow the web solution:when I run the grub
type the command :find /boot/grub/stage1
asiks: that's a tough one.
crdlb: are you out of ideas to recover my graphics then?
return: Error 15: File not found
mlissner, What version of ubuntu?
/home generally contains all user created content
what can I do if xorg locks up on starting up and an xfix doesn't solve it?
i tried to run vlc and it load automatically so i go in and try to run it and it gives several files i am unable to find the right one so that it runs how it should
Jordan_U: i told u it worked fine before,but i mean i have move from country to another country and the vmware guest = xp doesnot work the internet connection
that's all the music and movies and schoolwork whatnot I have, yes?
i know i am nub :D
yes.
Jordan_U: Jaunty, recently upgraded, but I've rebooted since then.
So that should be fairly large
but you also need to give your distro room to grow if you plan on installing a bunch of stuff
Does the Intel® 945GC express chipset work well with Ubuntu?
I can know the exact directry where stage is
Right
and don't forget about your swap partition
sdtr443w, Boot into recovery mode, go to root shell and edit your xorg.conf to use the "vesa" driver to get a basic driver going
Got that
realistically, you could probably be good with say a 100gig home partition
when I input the exact directry
Would having them on separate partitions make things like compiling more complicated?
no
I have lived with a 72 gig HD and windows XP for a while. 100 gigs would be a step up
linux mounts a partition pretty much wherever you want

linux mounts a partition pretty much wherever you want
dewdude, you can usually set user in fstab to over ride for things like memory sticks etc...
It does worsk,also Error 15
evanotten-- when dvd is in player... open vlc and click play..
auto-mount
gnome generally handles things like that
mlissner, I assume that you rebooted immediately after the upgrade finished, and it was working after the first boot after upgrading?
ltgg: I can't think of anything :/
ok now an open screen is up
Has anyone else been having getting sound to work in Flash since upgrading to 9.04?
*shrugs* i still do a lot of stuff like that in console
guys, just want toknow how to fix grub?
flash worked for me in 9.04
!grub | dien
dien: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
And the menu.lst not contain root(hdX,Y)
Jordan_U: yep
what's the .deb containing the nvidia drivers called?
CuriosTiger: why?
I can get video to work, but sound seems to be a problem. Sound works everywhere else aside from in flash.
What should I do,how to fix my grub?
sebsebseb: It doesn't seem to have downloaded the binary driver properly, I was gonna retry it manually with apt-get
Anyone found a way to make external (usb/esata) ntfs partitions mount without having to sudo them?
Jordon_U: I get prompted for a password in the recovery options that isn't my normal password. What could it be wanting?
ltgg: I guess you could try the opposite of what we just tried, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati, then put Driver "radeon" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in place of vesa
CuriosTiger: find it in synaptic and install like that?
ltgg: that's the driver you were using before
Jordon_U: If I knew that then I'd just run the proper ATI installer; it's botched since I used the 9.3 one when I should have used 9.4.
asiks: I like to allocatte 10G to root, though 7G is enough. Allocate twice the size of ram to swap (on an extended partition) and allocate the rest to /home. A second, unused root partition (same 7G size) is handy as it will allow you to dual boot a different version of Ubuntu so you can play with different releases but drop back easily)
CuriosTiger: There are multiple .deb files required for manual installation
10 gig is all the OS is likely to need, huh?
su -i
"Leaving"
asiks: 10G is more than enough...
my dvd device reads as /dev/scd0 is that what it is supposed to say
cool
how do i upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 cli
asiks: on initial install there's LOTS of room in the 10 gig partition.. just in case you install LAMP or other stuff that gets stuck there.
evanotten: /dev/scd0 is fine...
!upgrade | FloridaGuy
FloridaGuy: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
i can get it to play the initial screen but it never goes to main menu
cornwall: Ah.
cornwall: I found a wiki article on it -- reading that
>> am laughing at myself right now for not being able to accomplish what seems to be an easy task
can winamp be run on ubuntu?
i dont think i used very much space with 8.10. I don't do anything heavy, just play some games (roguelikes, retro games) and media watching stuff.
CuriosTiger: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
like can i run it directly off of my internal hard drive using wine?
CuriosTiger: is that what you're looking for? That will install it
sdtr443w, What exactly does it prompt for ( and if you misspell my name I won't notice your replies, try typing the first few letters then hitting tab )
crdlb: well thanks for trying ... perhaps I will try the xorg channel ... this really sucks ... today I was happy to finally have OO3 installed ... now this!
well, i attempted and upgrade. now my laptop is just CRAP
^Phantom^: probably not
Phantom: no. try Audacious
D:
cornwall: That was, but it says it's already installed and yet modprobe nvidia claims the module doesn't exist
^Phantom^-- xmms
I particularly *need* winamp for my tast
^Phantom^: ,but it can be run in Wine, however Linux has better native players :)
task*
CuriosTiger: Are you on Jaunty? I had problems with that as well
cornwall: I am indeed.
what task?
Pokój trzeci
what task?
Do I want "logical" or "primary", and "beginning" or "end" for the /home partition?
i am having trouble getting these if staement working http://dpaste.com/38218/ can anyone here help?
CuriosTiger: I'm trying to remember how I got it working....
cornwall: 64-bit jaunty too, if that makes a difference
Okay, need some help. Have an NVIDIA 7150M. When I start compiz, I get a black screen. What do I do?
or is there an ubuntu player that supports winamp input plugins? (in_*.dll)
cornwall: And apt-get remove + apt-get install (reinstall) didn't fix it :P
what format do you need?
sound broken
CuriosTiger: What about apt-get purge?
broadcom wirelss broken. Both on 8.04 hardy
let's try purge
unkmar: did you install the firmware?
!compiz | ieatnoobs
ieatnoobs: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz-fusion
I really need a player that supports winamp's input plugins. are there any for ubuntu?
can someone point me in the right direction on how to attach a domain i just purchased to my ubuntu server? do i just have to setup a hostname in /etc/hosts or how do i go about attaching my domain to my server?
CuriosTiger: now you mention 64 bit.. there's a bug I remember reading about nvidia and 64 bit.. you might find it on nvidia's site
musikgoat: Idk what my prollem is.
nope, modprobe nvidia is still unhappy
^Phantom^, no. look, tell me what format you need and i'll track you down a player
which could have to do with those other packages
I would assume logical partition, but I really don't know if i want beginning or end for this
.ast
what kind of plugins
scunizi: Still current in forceware 180.51 ?
.ast?
oh
asiks: does this make sense: root1, 10G, primary, bootable, root2 10G primary, extended/logical (rest of disk), /home (rest of disk on extended, less swap), swap on extended/logical (twice ram)
^Phantom^: see my PM
.ast, .brstm. strm
That doesn't say anything about my problem
CuriosTiger: not sure.. there is a work a round.. but I forgot what it was
i have no clue what those are
has anyone gotten any jaunty updates since the frozen RC?
oh, Wii soundtracks
losher: what is root1 and root2?
um hi new here
billybigrigger, Set the ip that the domain points to to your server's public IP
8.04 Hardy Sound must be fixed. Beep is loud and it is past midnight. Can't be disturbing other people.
i have a 10 gig mount point /, the swap is 4630MB, What would root2 be for?
i have a question about partitioning...
can anybody help?
Jordan_U, so there's nothing i have to do on the server side? just forward my domain to my ip address and im done?
I am asking about partioning, too. it is a party!
Can anyone help with my Compiz issue?
asiks: forget root2.. no need
Jordan_U: I have to paraphrase since I'm running off the recovery CD right now. When I select NETBOOT it prompts for the administrator password in a black text-mode console
unkmar, "sudo rmmod pcspkr" should stop the beep entirely
scunizi: I'll take a look. Thanks.
musikgoat|main: I recommend two root partitions
so um i'm trying to get a partion for ubuntu
by using the vista partioning tool
Musikgoat: That page didn't help
HAH
billybigrigger, Yup
scunizi: it's optional, but it makes upgrades sooo easy
and i have two pieces of unalloacted space
the best you might be able to do is create freespace for a partition
CuriosTiger: search synaptic for envyng-qt and install it. That's how I got it to work.
ieatnoobs-- try shutting it off and rebooting and turning it back on.....sometimes works
is there anyway i can combine them?
Can I still use gparted to resize these partitions later if I need to?
Jordan_U: thank you. I'll put it back later.
