xcell: If I start it my screen goes black.
Ascendancy: Just shrink your vista stuff, and let the partitioner on the install CD take care of partiioning the unallocated space.
Jordan_U: I typed up a new xorg.conf but I don't have much faith in it; I've had bad luck getting my widescreen LCD to work w/o an accelerated driver in the past.
what is a fast way to produce the equivalent to the alt character of windows in ubuntu
ieatnoobs: the ubottu message was more to point to the compiz channel
maybe re-install compix?
Has anyone had any luck getting the SoundBlaster X-Fi notebook card working in ubuntu? I want to get it but I'm not sure if there are any SB drivers for it. It's an express slot card
compiz
so flannel: does it matter if i have two pieces of space that are seperated?
didn't help
nvidia?
sdtr443w, Why are you choosing "NETBOOT" and what recovery CD? You should be using the "recovery mode" option from the grub menu
broadcom wirelss broken. 8.04 hardy - I think I installed the firmware but I can't make heads nor tails out of the instruction page.
hey if my comuputer has RAID, the kind where there are two disks and they are mirrored, then i need the alternate install?
ieatnoobs: did you ask for help in #compiz-fusion ?
unkmar, i had the same issue with a broadcom wifi card earlier in Jaunty
hi, need help with my printer
Musikgoat: Thanks!
Jordan_U: I'm currently in the 9.04 recovery CD. When doing netboot I was using the recovery mode grub option on my normal installation.
asiks: yes, you can resize later if you need to, but it's a tedious, slow process on a larger disk, and if something goes wrong....
i'm trying to find the page i used
dewdude: did you get it fixed?
any one here from BUUG ?
unkmar: you should just be able to run $ sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | and it would extract everything for u
unkmar, i'm online aren't i? ;)
lol
"Leaving."
...b43-fwcutter was in apt? and here i went and compiled it
can anyone help me out with why my google starts up then shuts down?
lol
sdtr443w, The recovery mode option shouldn't say anything about netboot IIRC
dewdude: I'm onlnie and might isn't fixed. not a great indicator.
Doesn't seem like there is anyone active there.
hey can ubuntu use two seperate pieces of unpartioned space, or does it need it to be a single piece?
Ascendancy: It's not ideal, but it can work, yes.
Jordan_U: Basically anything off the recovery mode option that tried to go to a shell would ask for my root password.
MK131: I did that earlier.
oh ok thanks
hi, need help with my printer, i don't know how install the driver for scan, i used ubuntu 9.04 64bits
google earth that is
Would setting aside a partition that ubuntu and windows could both see be a bad idea? like in ntfs?
Is there anyone who is good with Flash problems in this channel :) ?
unkmar, did you put them in /lib/firmware
Flannel: would there be a way to combine the space? or is it more hassle than its worth?
sdtr443w, That's odd, is this a fairly standard install?
Jordan_U: might be netroot--it's the one that would take somebody into what would normally be init 3 on another OS.
asiks: i have one set up like that
Ascendancy: you might be able to, yes. I'm not terribly familiar with windows partitioners though.
asiks: that's actually a good idea
I had that with ubuntu 8. I don't see Ntfs on the list of formats here though
Jordan_U: I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04. It was being a good boy until I tried to install the ATI 9.3 drivers when I should have done 9.4. Now it locks up going into X and it snubs me trying to do any console recover stuff.
I Fixed my problem by reinstalling ubuntu 9.04 this time i did not do a dual boot.
Flannel: Ok i'll come back after i've installed ubuntu
Haallllpppp.....
lol wish me luck
Ascendancy, i seem to remember at some point with the vista partitioner being able to "move" the partitions/free space blocks around
dewdude: how do you do it?
sdtr443w, Ok, what is this recovery CD you were talking about?
dewdude: MK131, I have b43 and b43legacy in /lib/firmware
asiks: a common ntfs partition should work fine...
Ascendancy, i honestly don't remember
does ntfs have another name?
hi is ltsp included in 9.04 desktop version or in the server edtion?
haha ok
asiks: don't think so, why?
thx anyway

i see ext2-4, fat16, fat32 , jfs, xfs, reiserfs
asiks: ntfs-3g
acp_: I think you can install it regardless
unkmar, you don't put b43 and b43legacy in /lib/firmware. you figure out what driver you're running...and use the cutter to extract the firmware files in to that directory
Jordan_U: A 9.04 LiveCD
is one of those aka ntfs?
asiks: nvm my statement, thought you were apt-getting stuff
asiks, Unless you are on the LiveCD you need to install ntfsprogs
asiks: no
I am using the live cd
dewdude: the cutter program simply ran.
sdtr443w, Do you know what a chroot is?
asiks: writable ntfs support is relatively new, I'm not suprised it's not offered. Leave it unallocated and use windows recovery to format it for ntfs later
that's odd because i made an ntfs partition with ubuntu 8
Sound Problem, HP DV5Z, not only one with it, was working 8.04,8.10 not in 9.04 upgrade. ALSA originally did not recognize hardware, did installed module-assistant ALSA now says OK, but no sound any through speakers or headjack still. Noticed the config file was empty, tried adding option for Hp-4 did not work either. Will not work with OSS/ALSA/PULSE, all volumes maxed and unmuted
Jordan_U: chroot doesn't seem to work. I think the LiveCD is 32-bit but my OS is 64-bit. So I get into trouble when it tries to run bash.
unkmar, hold on, i know that page is around somewhere
unkmar: do you have broadcom STA driver installed?
well, the drive had an xp partition on it that i shrunk. I suppose that is a different process
scunizi: ya I know but Im bit layz I want during installation it will setup ltsp I remember if you use alternate edition there is a ltsp mode
asiks: using gparted?
yeah
MK131: I don't even know what that is.
Hello, my system crashed while updating to jaunty and now I can't move the mouse or use the keyboard when booting normally... I can still use the keyboard in recovery mode, but the dpkg option doesn't work as it can't connect to the internet.
I tried adding the following two lines, auto et0 and iface eth0 inet dhcp to my /etc/network/interfaces file, then ifup eth0 and ifconfig eth0 , but it still hasn't connected properly and I'm at a loss as to what I've done wrong or need to do next... would anyone be able to help me?
Maybe if i leave it unallocated and then boot from the disk, gparted might be able to set it to that?

I am interested in trying ubuntu, but i still want to keep windows around for certain programs, so i was hoping to dual boot. I am currently using Vista 64 bit buisness (perhaps the worst permutation but oh well) on a lenovo t400. I need to get a fresh install of windows and ubuntu... Any ideas on how I can do this. ?
dewdude: wrong paste.
Jordan_U: About the only thing I can think of is trying this hacked up xorg.conf. Problem is that it takes me about 10 minutes to boot back in to here with IRC if it doesn't work.
sdtr443w, Ok, can you just edit your xorg.conf and add: Driver "vesa" To your device section?
go to System-> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and see if the STA driver is enabled
dewdude: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Harhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardydy
unkmar, http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 <- that page told me pretty much exactly what to do
sdtr443w, pastebin the xorg.conf
Jordan_U: Yes that seems to be about all I can do. Re: pastebin--hold on
it told me how to identify what chip i had...which version of what i needed to get and so on.
unkmar: go to System-> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and see if the STA driver is enabled
asiks: . But you don't need ntfs to install. Just allocate an empty partition and you can try Jordan_U's suggestion later when you have Ubuntu up & running.
这里有讲中文的吗?
losher, IIRC ntfs now shows up as ntfs-3g
jinxed: install windows first then leave a partition for ubuntu
!cn | leos
leos: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道: #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk
jinxed it's not problem, the install will setup a partion for you to dual boot as long as windows is installed first
asiks: btw, which distro are you gonna install?

Helllllp? Ubuntu crashed while updating itself a little over a week ago and now I can't access the Internet!
Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/159029/
MK131: I can't... Was running fluxbuntu 7.10 and upgraded. still running fluxbuntu, but now 8.04, most the same rules should apply, Minus any GUI things.
9.04

Anyone can help?
Anyone else having problems playing any videos after an upgrade 9.04? I treid vlc, toem, and mplayer, purged all of the above and reinstalled. Whenever I try to play it opens then crashes
hi, do i need the alternate install or will the regular do?
:(
Logomachist, Does anything happen when you run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ? ( if it does please pastebin the output )
what was jordan's suggestion? I think i missed it
asiks: you understand 9.04 is not quite stable?
"Ex-Chat"
Adobe air is pretty extreme.
I know it's new
hello
is this working?
losher: 9.04 is a release, not a distro. Ubuntu is the "distro"
toss in a question billy
asiks: jordan say you can download the ntfsprogs and format ntfs using it....

asiks: jordan say you can download the ntfsprogs and format ntfs using it....
I missed that
tritium: corrected, thanks...
hello? can anyone see this?
losher: why do you think the latest stable release is not stable?
billybigrigger, no
Jordan_U, this is wierd
billybigrigger: of course not
billybigrigger, Ask your question :)
my router is reporting my ip address as 0.0.0.0 and i cannot ping google or view and www sites, but im still connected to irc
tritium: 'cos I installed it, and had some problems. Because lots of people have been here asking for help with their 9.04 install...
billybigrigger: there's only 1400+ of us here waiting to answer questions
Would anyone be able to help me?
i've tried renewing dhcp and everything, still an ip of 0.0.0.0
losher: people are in here asking for help every day
That's what the channel is for.
This is the (help) channel.
billy, what type of router/service is it
cornwall: seems you need the linux-restricted-drivers package
asiks: to recap, root1, root2, extended, home, ntfs, swap
billybigrigger, what ip does "ifconfig" show ( please don't flood the channel with all of the output from ifconfig though )
which is not installed by the GUI utilities
kathe: use full nicks with TAB for auto completion.. otherwise it won't highlight for him
Jordan_U, well i image ifconfig would show my local eth0 ip of 192.168.1.101
Jordan_U, ill check though
thx scunizi
Jordan_U, ya its 192.168.1.101
Jordan_U: Ah well I'm going to try booting into that xorg.conf. I won't see anything for 10 minutes or so if I have to boot back off the liveCD.
kathe: :)
kathe: Do you know how to get a fresh install of vista buisnes... i have one right now... but I need to recover to a fresh start
CuriosTiger: That fixed it?
kathe: i am currently using a lenovo t400
wow, 9.04 finaly got me away from windows completely, don't know, just something about it this time around
hey i was wondering if someone might be able to walk me through getting a dvd to play, it has menu's and for some reason shows the initial screen but not the main menu, i have dl'd vlc, kmplayer, ogle, and gxine can someone help me out for a few minutes on private chat?
Jordan_U, i can ping within the local network no problem, pinging google.com or ubuntu.com results in nothing, my linksys webadmin page shows ip of 0.0.0.0 but im still connected to irc???
HI, do i need the alternate install for RAID disks? the regular one won't work?
jinxed, if you have a disk, just insert it during boot and run from the disk
is it possible to select different dekstop backgrounds in each desktop window in the cube effect ?
Some people do speak Chinese
billybigrigger, Normally the address 0.0.0.0 is not really an ip address but a way of saying "default gateway"
what is bounds.s ?
Tossing this one out again hoping for a response

billybigrigger, If your computer is set as the default gateway on your router then nothing will ever get to the internet, if that is indeed what is happening I have no idea how you are here though :)
hello everyone everytime I try and listen to music from the livecd of 9.04 it says it cant find a plugin do I have to download it from a certain site or something. it wont do it automatically when it searchs
Jordan_U, its magically working now
Jordan_U, stupid routers haha
Need a suggestion: I'm about to dive into Drupal and am using my laptop with Ubuntu as it's platform. Should I go ahead with configuring a complete LAMP setup or just go with XAMPP? I don't plan on serving off this system, just for development before uploading to my bluehost server
Jordan_U, i dont know whats going on, everything i have setup through the router works fine, i just lost my internet kind of, but i stayed on irc? it was wierd, everythings working ok now for some magical reason :P
anyones knows what is bounds.s ???
sdtr443w, Get rid of the "1920x1200" You are never going to get that with vesa, in fact let me make you a minimal vesa config
Locum: might have better luck in ##Linux
billybigrigger, Probably your DNS server went down
I'm not sure how to get internet working from recovery mode...? I tried adding the following two lines, auto eth0 and iface eth0 inet dhcp to my /etc/network/interfaces file, then ifup eth0 and ifconfig eth0 , but it still hasn't connected properly and I'm at a loss as to what I've done wrong or need to do next... would anyone be able to help me?
factum thanks
sure thing
possible to have different background in different desktop windows in cube effect?
billybigrigger, You could probably have reached google.com if your computer had only known the ip :)
"Saliendo"
