AndersAAwell, you sure it's hdb2?01:10
TrevanNo Radeon users here using the binary drivers, eh?01:10
neighborleeim positive01:10
AndersAAkeep in mind if you in your bios change first boot device some bioses will rewrite that info01:10
neighborleeI checked by booting ubuntu CD installer and it sure is01:10
neighborleehdb2 is my reiserfs 60gb partition01:10
AndersAAtry to boot grub, get a prompt and start writing root (hd0,0) root(hd0,1), it won't write anything, and keep doing that until you can find your partition01:10
Phr0stByteneighborlee: Try http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm01:11

neighborleePhr0stByte, correct..IF I can get back into linux :(..checking your LINK01:12
AndersAAubuntu will even add a boot option for it in the menu01:12
neighborleeyes np I realize all that01:13
neighborleebtdt01:13
neighborleei'm just saying that since I instaled XP..it overwrote my MBR ( of course) and I have no access to linux period now...01:14
AndersAAohh, this worked before?01:14
neighborleeI thought chroot would get me back in ( like it does in other distros) but zero fat chance it seems01:14
neighborleecorrect01:14
AndersAAahh, well, you dont need to chroot01:14
AndersAAyou can boot the cd and install grub from there01:14
neighborleei 'was' in ubuntu BEFORE I reinstalled XP01:14

jazzkais that possible?01:17
AndersAAneighborlee: what you could do that might work, is boot the install cd's install program, then go through the menu until you can find your hd, and after that quit the install program, it should have loaded your modules01:17
joemjazzka, yea, cron job01:17

menatorAndersAA: Why would X be using it?01:18
AndersAAmenator: it could be it's just trying to load it, and failing that, so it's not the critical error01:18
jazzkahey, I'm talking about power off the computer, when I'm not present!!101:18
Phr0stByteHeh - got my wifes account set up in Korean01:18
AndersAAjazzka: well, crontab is for scheduling execution of commands01:19
Smeggyjazzka, youll need to setup a cron job to execute one of the commands we told you at whatever interval/time you want the computer to go off01:19
jazzkatoo complex, it must be easier01:20
neighborleeAndersAA: yeah it loads my modules alright..but since hdb2 isn't in /dev then mount can't do what it needs to do...i've no idea how other distros do this but thats where I find myself..IF I could have found 'mkbootdisk' or whatever debian calls it..i'd be FINE now ;(boohisssigh ..ha <<01:20
jazzkaI'll try shutdown -t now01:20
AndersAAneighborlee: hmm, report that as a bug, it should have those there01:20
AndersAAneighborlee: you realize you can boot from any other distro's cd and run grub from there right? ;)01:20
Smeggyjazzka, that will shutdown the computer after a time you specify in seconds after the -t..01:21

jgeorgesonthe * means /dev/hdb1 is active, so if grub doesn't set /dev/hdb3 as active when trying to boot windows, it won't work04:41
jgeorgesonRed_Menace, not sure hy you can't mount it though04:41
Red_MenaceI have makeactive in there04:41
jgeorgesonRed_Menace, one thing you could do is make a linux rescue floppy, boot the XP cd and restore the windows MBR, and then windows should try to boot and run it's own fs check tools04:42
jgeorgesonRed_Menace, once you have that worked out, use the linux boot floopy to boot ubuntu and re-install grub04:42
Red_MenaceHow do I make a rescue floppy?  Is there a util for that with Ubuntu?04:43
jgeorgesonRed_Menace, on the Win2k disk there is fixmbr and fixboot. check out mkboot04:43
jgeorgesonRed_Menace, do note, I've never used mkboot. The only times I've done what I'm talking about i've had red hat or fedora installed, and used their rescuecd iso image. so test that the disk will boot your linux install before doing anything04:45

jgeorgesonpunkass, i mean the samba share is dog slow. especially over my wifi. if i use an ethernet i can load cloase to 3k songs in a couple of minutes05:34
punkassah..funny that wifi would be slower05:35
jgeorgesonpunkass, just curious, do you know what punk originally meant?05:35
jgeorgesonwell, 11 mbps vs 100 mbps. 05:35

jgeorgesonnever heard those before, i always saw 'young, inexperienced male [gay]  prostitute'05:37
punkasslol05:37
punkassmaybe in the "urban" dictionary05:38
punkassadj. Slang:  # Of poor quality; worthless.05:38
punkass# Weak in spirits or health05:38
jgeorgesoni know someone who got punk tatooed in tribal lettering and i just have to laugh every time i see it05:38
punkass;p;05:38
jgeorgesonno, meriam-websters i think, something of that caliber is where i looked it up05:38
punkasslol05:38
punkassi just looked at dictionary.com05:38
punkassoh there is more, hahaha05:39
punkass   3.05:39
punkass         1. Slang. A young man who is the sexual partner of an older man.05:39
punkass         2. Archaic. A prostitute.05:39
jgeorgesonyeah, that's the one05:39
punkasshaha 05:39
jgeorgesonnot there's anything wrong with that05:40
punkasswell its also:  2. A fungus (Polyporus fomentarius, etc.)05:40
tophfisherSo ubuntu does not have a message board? Just the mailing list huh?05:40

tophfisherThats cool05:40
tophfisherAny one have info on how ubuntu plans to make money? I read they are funded... Whats their plan for a return on their investment?05:41
jgeorgesoni've noticed my laptop is considerably quieter under ubunut than winxp or suse05:41
punkassi believe they are going to start up support for ubuntu05:42
punkassofficial "paid for" support that is05:42
punkassjgeorgeson: the laptop i installed it on, doesnt seem to every sleep or spindown the drive05:42

tophfisherHmmm.. I hope that is enough to make them money05:43
jgeorgesonpunkass, can yours successfully go to s3 or s4 suspend (and back)?05:43
punkassi dont know how to set that.05:43
jgeorgesonpunkass, if you cat /proc/power/state you'll see what suspend modes are supported (mem == s3, disk == s4)05:44
jgeorgesons3 == standby in windows (suspend to ram), and s4 == hibernate (suspend to disk)05:45
jgeorgesonyou enter those states with echo -n "mem" > /sys/power/state05:45
tophfisherpunkass: I _JUST_ read a thread about this in the ubuntu mailing list, kinda funny, they had them same talk.. A couple of people could not suspend becuz of the USB controller.05:45
jgeorgesoni can ener s3, but on resume the machine powers down05:46
jgeorgesoni think s4 needs the swsusp stuff, which is included in the 2.6 kernel sources, but ubuntu doesn't have compiled05:46
jgeorgesoni wonder if he just went into s305:47

smomenator_: no sane company can afford to ignore licensing just because it feels good.  There's far too many lawyers around already10:19
menator_true, but for a distro to be effectively accepted, you can't make your users jump through hoops to get support for a widespread technology.10:20
|trey|jdub: I was kinda guesing that multiverse would some how link to actual sources for software... so ubuntu/canonical didn't actually get in trouble for distribution... would that be feasable?10:20

david_Manny.. i tried this gdesklets /usr/share/gdesklets/displays/sysinfo-desklet/sysinfo.display01:35
Mannydavid_: yes, that's correct01:35
PerfDavetomiu: It's because Linux treats the system clock as UTC, and Windows treats it as local time. The best thing to do is install an NTP client to run at startup on both :)01:36

tomiuwhen i go into windows after using ubuntu my system clock changes!! how do i stop this without using a ntp client01:38
david_Manny: what command? try registering again?01:39
smotomiu: look for a like mentioning UTC in /etc/default/rcS   (it may be worth noting that XP already has an NTP client .. in the clock's properties, nicely hidden)01:39
smofor a line, rather01:39
Mannydavid_: no, without any parameters01:40
bob2pity windows is still so silly about gmt rtcs...01:40

backdocI'm trying the live CD on a Dell Latitude D800.  It has an Nvidia card with a screen resolution of 1920X1200.  I can get the CD to come up to the default 1024x768.  But, if I try to use the Nvidia driver, there is no 1920X1200 option.  So, I tried modifying the Grub parameters.  When X tries to start, Ubuntu just reboots.  Any suggestions?  TIA06:06
