| guestuser | i have a background image but i dont want to manualy set it every session, is there a way to make it default | 01:01 |
| Matt| | yes | 01:01 |
| guestuser | and 2: i tried to edit the fluxbox menu so that aterm would be abit transparant when i open it but that doesnt seem to work | 01:01 |
| Matt| | guestuser, when you change the background, it remembers it | 01:02 |
| Matt| | ah you are using fluxbox | 01:02 |
| Tzalidar | YES!! i found the solution :) options snd_emu10k1 index=0 | 01:02 |
| guestuser | yes | 01:02 |
| Matt| | then background goes in the fluxbox config | 01:02 |

| Sewdyn | Oh. I mean, the hash for root inside /etc/shadow. | 03:58 |

| mercurus | and /etc/passwd ? | 03:58 |
| shad0w913 | can anyone help me? | 03:58 |
| Sewdyn | Not sure if I cleaned the hash from /etc/passwd. Could that've been the problem? | 03:58 |
| mercurus | Sewdyn: ok, so you've replaced root's hash with a "*" in /etc/shadow ? | 03:59 |
| Sewdyn | No. | 03:59 |
| Sewdyn | I just cleared it and saved it. | 03:59 |
| shad0w913 | fuck | 03:59 |
| shad0w913 | of course | 03:59 |
| Pizbit | GammaRay: Sounds like a typo for "revisit" which I assume would mean in case you want to change something you'd done wrong etc etc | 03:59 |

| Pizbit | Wow, that link is still 1 per 1000 lines in here:) | 04:05 |
| shad0w913 | :( | 04:05 |
| mercurus | Sewdyn: as I said, it'll prompt for your USER's password - not root's non-existent password | 04:05 |
| Sewdyn | Okay. And this is product of root's password being default as root:*:12724:0:99999:7:: ? | 04:07 |
| shad0w913 | ok, lets try a different question: what if I went in to grub, turned off acpi, turned on APM (which is already installed), and then rebooted. Would that make the battery meter work? | 04:07 |
| mercurus | Sewdyn: no, it is the default. | 04:07 |
| Agabus | hectorvs: i will :D | 04:07 |
| mercurus | shad0w913: worth a shot | 04:07 |
| wims | it's your users password | 04:07 |
| Sewdyn | Okay. And do you happen to know what I'd need to fix up if I had botched the passwd file too ? | 04:07 |
| Pizbit | shad0w913: Give it a go, can't hurt eh? | 04:07 |
| shad0w913 | how do I make sure that the APM module is loaded, doesn't it have to be in some directory somewere? | 04:07 |
| Pizbit | shad0w913: Put it into /etc/modules | 04:07 |
| linux_galore | shad0w913: if its a intel based laptop I usually find having acpi on is a positive move also make sure the acpid daemon is active | 04:07 |
| mercurus | Sewdyn: if you botched passwd, you'll know about it ... you'll probably have to re-install or boot up from the install CD ... you won't be able to login | 04:08 |
| Pizbit | linux_galore: You didn't see the bit where he said his laptop doesn't work with acpi | 04:08 |
| shad0w913 | well according to the docks and the forums, ACPI doesn't work with 1800 series compaqs :( | 04:08 |
| shad0w913 | *docs | 04:08 |
| mercurus | eg. if you removed root's entry, you can't sudo as root ... because uid 0 won't resolve correctly | 04:08 |
| shad0w913 | oops :p | 04:08 |
| Sewdyn | So... there's no way to fix that without reinstalling? | 04:08 |
| linux_galore | Pizbit: so its not an intel based laptop then ?? | 04:08 |
| wims | without root you got a big problem | 04:08 |
| Pizbit | linux_galore: No idea | 04:08 |
| shad0w913 | it's intel based, pentium III | 04:08 |
| mercurus | Sewdyn: yes, boot up with the install CD and repair /etc/passwd manuall | 04:09 |
| shad0w913 | 600mhz, I think | 04:09 |
| shad0w913 | maybe more | 04:09 |
| Sewdyn | And repairing /etc/passwd manually would consist of ... typing out new hashes for it? | 04:09 |
| shad0w913 | how do i check to see if acpi is on? | 04:09 |
| mercurus | shadow: it is x86 which is what is important ;) | 04:09 |
| mercurus | Sewdyn: there won't be any hashes in /etc/passwd | 04:09 |
| linux_galore | shad0w913: yeah you need acpi and the acpid daemon running with that unit | 04:09 |
| mercurus | there will be basic information, the fields are shown in man /etc/passwd | 04:09 |
| mercurus | eg. root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash | 04:10 |
| hectorvs | hey guys, if I change between wireless networks alot, is there a way for ubuntu tu automagically detect the network its in and select the correct config (like wep)? | 04:10 |
| ys | when i 'apt-cache search direct connect' how do i make it search for both words together? | 04:11 |
| linux_galore | shad0w913: bet you only have the acpi module and you dont have the daemon running | 04:11 |

| Agabus | no, that wasnt all i wanted to do but ok | 05:20 |
| kensai | <Agabus> hey people, i just booted up ubuntu and i'm running synaptic for the first time, should i add any new repositories to the list to download stuff that isnt in the default ones?? | 05:20 |
| kensai | thats part of it ^ | 05:20 |
| bob2 | yes, I know | 05:20 |
| desp | so...I installed both gvlc and gnome-vlc...but they both look out-of-place on my Ubuntu desktop | 05:21 |
| desp | what's up with that? | 05:21 |
| bob2 | desp: it's a gtk1.2 program | 05:21 |
| bob2 | totem is the gnome2 video player | 05:21 |
| kensai | why can't totem be removed? | 05:22 |
| Agabus | is there a way to set the default media player to rhythm box? | 05:22 |
| desp | a pity that I haven't figured out yet how to make it play .avi files | 05:22 |
| bob2 | kensai: of course it can be removed | 05:22 |
| bob2 | desp: install totem-xine | 05:22 |
| bob2 | desp: as wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats says | 05:22 |
| desp | I see | 05:22 |
| kensai | It depends on ubuntu-desktop and says it will be removed | 05:22 |
| Pizbit | kensai: That's safe | 05:22 |
| Pizbit | ubuntu-desktop = meta package | 05:23 |
| bob2 | kensai: yes, but it's safe to remove ubuntu-desktop | 05:23 |
| kensai | can I remove ubuntu-desktop which effect will it take? | 05:23 |
| Pizbit | kensai: None:) | 05:23 |
| kensai | Nothing or just little bit? | 05:23 |
| Pizbit | Nothing | 05:23 |
| bob2 | Pizbit: that's not quite true | 05:23 |
| Pizbit | Zip! Nada! Zilch!:) | 05:23 |
| kensai | why is it there then? | 05:23 |
| Pizbit | bob2: Blah, hasn't hurt anyone yet eh?:) | 05:24 |
| bob2 | kensai: it means you won't get future ubuntu desktop packages installed automatically | 05:24 |
| kensai | errrmmm? and? | 05:24 |
| bur[n] er | why remove totem anyway? | 05:24 |
| bur[n] er | i like totem | 05:24 |
| bob2 | kensai: it's there to Depend on all the basic desktop stuff, so you only need to install one package | 05:24 |
| Agabus | ubuntu looks so much nicer than mandrake :D | 05:24 |
| Pizbit | bur[n] er: He's not, he's changing it to totem-xine | 05:24 |
| kensai | cause totem does absolutely nothing it has no codecs for mpegs | 05:24 |
| tseng | totem-xine can use w32codecs | 05:25 |
| bob2 | it does lots | 05:25 |
| tseng | ffpeg | 05:25 |
| tseng | etc | 05:25 |
| Pizbit | kensai: You could just install xine-ui and use xine, plus the w32codecs package from the marillat repository | 05:25 |
| kensai | Pizbit: thanks | 05:25 |
| === Pizbit doesn't think that breaks ubuntu-desktop | ||
| Pizbit | kensai: Just be sure to change files to open with xine (rigth click -> open with type in xine) :) | 05:26 |
| desp | when I was installing vlc using synaptic, it installed a few other packages as well. now when I select vlc for complete removal, it only wants to remove wxvlc as well. how can I get synaptic to purge all unnecessary packages, such as the vlc dependencies that are no longer needed? | 05:26 |
| WW | bob2: Just curious about that ubunut-desktop thing... what are the chances that the packages on which ubuntu-desktop depends will change in warty? | 05:26 |
| bob2 | desp: I don't believe synaptic can do that. deboprhan can, and if you use aptitude it happens automatically. | 05:27 |
| bob2 | WW: in warty? 0.000000%. in hoary, pretty good. | 05:27 |
| desp | bob2: I'm totally new to debian. can you elaborate a bit? | 05:27 |
| bob2 | in fact, it has changed in hoary already, iirc | 05:27 |
| WW | bob2: That's about what I figured. Thanks. | 05:27 |
| desp | I'm pretty much new to linux, as well | 05:29 |
| bob2 | desp: which bit? | 05:29 |
| desp | deborphan -- can I just use it without any worries? | 05:29 |
| bob2 | yes. | 05:29 |
| bob2 | debfoster does a simlar deal, I think | 05:29 |
| desp | both seem to be not installed, though | 05:29 |
| Pizbit | desp: Install them if you want:) | 05:29 |
| desp | aight ;) | 05:29 |

| encryptio | what's a "bad superblock"? | 06:31 |
| shank_ | bob2: ok, i'll check the md5sum on the actual cd | 06:31 |
| bob2 | shank_: check the md5sum of the iso you get, and the physical cd | 06:31 |
| shank_ | bob2: i'm sure its prolly not worked for hundreds or thousands of ppl as well | 06:31 |
| jdub | gloin_: the distro is impressive because it was designed with some of the same objectives as gnome. | 06:31 |
| shank_ | bob2: laready checked the iso | 06:31 |

| rublind | I have one card, but four things in my alsa mixer list. | 09:23 |
| hypa7ia | rublind: run dmesg in the term | 09:23 |
| jdub | bob2: (ubuntuforums can do that too) | 09:23 |
| jdub | bob2: (and is nicer to use for forum people) | 09:23 |
| cenerentola | so a www.ubuntulinux-it.org is abolished? | 09:23 |
| bob2 | jdub: but it leads to crap like ::smile:: in emails | 09:24 |
| rublind | There are many things displayed, anything in particular you want? | 09:24 |
| jdub | bob2: that could probably be fixed | 09:24 |
| bob2 | rublind: on-board sound? tv card? | 09:24 |
| jdub | cenerentola: afaik, there isn't one | 09:24 |

| rublind | bob2: My computer is actually beeping now, which is the only sound I get, but I want my sound card to handle it all. | 09:24 |
| bob2 | anon: it should happen automatically | 09:24 |
| cenerentola | jdub: we wanted to set it up | 09:24 |
| rublind | (It's beeping because I changed a setting in xChat) | 09:24 |

| rublind | bob2: I guess I have an onboard sound card, but I can't plug into it. | 09:25 |

| weasello | I'm about to install Ubuntu, but I have a question about the linux install process... | 09:25 |
| hypa7ia | fire away weasello | 09:25 |
| mercurus | weasello: certaintly, what's that ? | 09:25 |
| rublind | http://www.pastebin.com/117278 <-- output of lsmod | 09:26 |
| weasello | I have a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 vid card, what should I select for video driver? I usually pick "vesa" because it works, and I can't see any "nvidia" listed anywhere. | 09:26 |
| bob2 | weasello: erm, ubuntu asked you about your card? | 09:26 |
| weasello | Well, all the other veresions of linux have asked. Ubuntu doesn't? Good! :) | 09:26 |
| bob2 | weasello: it should detect and setup everything automatically | 09:27 |
| liten | if you dont want to use closedsource, you can try out "nv" driver | 09:27 |
| bob2 | if it asks, you have to choose nv | 09:27 |
| rublind | mercurus: you got that link, right? | 09:27 |
| bob2 | ubuntu doesn't include the binary-only non-free one by default | 09:27 |
| jdub | weasello: if ubuntu asks questions about your X setup, it's a bug in your hardware or the installer :-) | 09:27 |
| mercurus | rublind: ok, are all the "Master" volumes and all the "PCM" volumes unmuted ? | 09:27 |
| weasello | "nv"... gotcha for future use. I'll be attempting install shortly. See y'all in about an hour :) | 09:27 |
| rublind | mercurus: yes, I just did that. | 09:27 |
| bob2 | weasello: good luck | 09:28 |
| rublind | mercurus: I do hear a beeping coming from my computer, but this is due to a change I made in xChat (it beeps on highlighted messages) | 09:28 |
| hypa7ia | best of luck weasello! | 09:28 |
| Tsjoklat | you can msg me if you like weasello | 09:28 |
| Tsjoklat | since I had to shut up | 09:28 |
| mercurus | rublind: and what happens when you try and play a .ogg file ? | 09:28 |
| rublind | mercurus: I don't have any. | 09:28 |
| bob2 | Tsjoklat: why did you have to shut up? | 09:28 |
| cenerentola | jdub: so? ppl when reading our site they should open another tab to visit the forum on ubuntuforums, which is UNofficial? | 09:28 |
| rublind | mercurus: I have music on my windows hard drive, but I am having problems mounting it. | 09:28 |
| rublind | (and it's .mp3 anyways) | 09:29 |
| mercurus | rublind: so what have you tried to play ? | 09:29 |
| rublind | Well, gaim isn't making any noise for one. | 09:29 |
| rublind | But I'll test a music CD right now. | 09:29 |
| jdub | cenerentola: i'm recommending it because it's less work, and keeps things together | 09:29 |

| mercurus | because it is probably linked directly to output, practically bypassing the sound card. | 09:29 |
| rublind | Nope, I hear nothing. | 09:30 |
| cenerentola | so... an italian forum in the italian ubuntu website, imho is the most logical | 09:30 |
| jdub | cenerentola: by using ubuntuforums, you can have the forum linked with the mailing list, users will easily find it because it's where everything else is, etc. | 09:30 |
| cenerentola | thing to be done... moreover | 09:30 |
| jdub | cenerentola: there's no reason why you can't link to it from the website -> same thing | 09:30 |
| cenerentola | same thing the opposite | 09:31 |
| cenerentola | none of you speaks italian | 09:32 |

| jdub | cenerentola: it's the central place for forums, if everyone else runs their own, it's their loss :) | 09:33 |
| cenerentola | ill mail | 09:33 |

| bob2 | rublind: you definitely want /dev/hda1 | 10:19 |

| rublind | bob2: excellent, one problem down, one to go. | 10:25 |
| KiBi | rublind: maybe should you add user to the uid=1000,defaults tab | 10:25 |
| Pizbit | weasello: You can remove all the formatting bars, buddy icons, etc | 10:25 |
| Billox | ok, sorry for the delay to those of you who responded to my earlier request. Ubuntu is giving me options for resolutions 1024x768 and below from the gui "Screen Resolution" applicaition. My XF86 config file defines the maximum resolution as 1600x1200 but I dont get the option above 1024x768 in the GUI. I'm running an intel 740 card and a 21" screen | 10:25 |
| KiBi | I'm not sure... | 10:25 |
| rublind | KiBi: what do you mean? | 10:25 |
| KiBi | A example : | 10:25 |
| KiBi | /dev/sda1 /mnt/cle vfat rw,noauto,user,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 | 10:25 |
| Pizbit | Billox: Is that 1600x1200 in the right colour depth? | 10:25 |
| Billox | Ive googled around and seen a couple of people mention the same issue but no clies | 10:25 |
| Pizbit | Billox: Also, is the horiz/vert syncs correct? | 10:26 |
| Elwood | Billox, when you run xcfg you can select the modes | 10:26 |
| === corbob [~corbob@d207-81-63-141.bchsia.telus.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Billox | yes, in all colour depths | 10:26 |
| jdub | Billox: note that the gui isn't related at all to the X configuration file | 10:26 |
| rublind | KiBi: what effect does it have? | 10:26 |
| KiBi | (no)auto mean it is (not) mounted automatically at boot | 10:26 |
| Elwood | right | 10:26 |
| jdub | Billox: the gui controls RANDR, not the X configuration | 10:26 |
| Billox | ok | 10:26 |
| jdub | Billox: the server probably thinks that's all it can do for some reason | 10:26 |
| Billox | also I have noticed that X performance is very bad | 10:27 |
| KiBi | ``user'' (allow a user to mount) | 10:27 |
| Billox | as if its using a generic driver | 10:27 |
| KiBi | (man fstab) | 10:27 |
| Billox | although the i740 card is correctly detected | 10:27 |
| jdub | Billox: type xrandr at a terminal | 10:27 |
| daniels | edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, and remove the HorizSync and VertRefresh lines | 10:27 |
| daniels | that will allow you to get the full resolution | 10:27 |
| rublind | KiBi: I don't need user, but I added auto., | 10:27 |
| Billox | Section "Monitor" | 10:28 |
| Billox | Identifier "CM811PLUS" | 10:28 |
| Billox | HorizSync 31-107 | 10:28 |
| Billox | VertRefresh 50-160 | 10:28 |
| Billox | Option "DPMS" | 10:28 |
| rublind | So, anyone here know a lot about sound? (besides bob2 =p) | 10:28 |
| Billox | remove that? | 10:28 |
| bob2 | rublind: blacklisting didn't work? | 10:28 |
| Billox | just the Horiz and Vert sections? | 10:28 |
| rublind | bob2: nope, unless I did it wrong. | 10:28 |

| Gcc | mjg59: how do u explain it? | 12:17 |
| Gcc | i tried it | 12:17 |
| Lowry | thx | 12:18 |
| eim | The default ppc kernel won't support the internal speaker on iBooks. The kernel has to be patched and recompiled. | 12:18 |
| Gcc | the default config also didnt work | 12:18 |
| mjg59 | Gcc: The ubuntu config requires an initrd | 12:18 |
| Gmail | sudo apt-get install bpalogin | 12:18 |
| nevyn | Gcc: it doesn't apply to a default kernel tree. | 12:18 |
| bob2 | eim: to do what? | 12:18 |
| Gmail | Lowry: that was for you | 12:18 |
| nevyn | most probably. | 12:18 |
| Gcc | nevyn: so i must downlaod a kernel tree/ | 12:18 |
| bob2 | eim: I get horrible-sounding audio out of it with a default kernel | 12:18 |
| Gcc | nevyn: is there any hope to make an initrd | 12:19 |
| Gcc | and not download tree | 12:19 |
| nevyn | Gcc: WHY are you doing this? | 12:19 |
| Matt| | did someone say there is support for burning audio cds in rhythmbox now? | 12:20 |
| Gcc | nevyn: my connection right now is sucky and cant donwload th ekernel sources | 12:20 |
| Gcc | i got 2.6.8 sources though | 12:20 |
| Matt| | Gcc, you can try making an initrd but you really should be using the ubuntu kernel | 12:20 |
| Gcc | Matt|: can u help me with that? | 12:20 |
| nevyn | Gcc: if you don't know what the f!@# you're doing why are you building a kernel? | 12:20 |
| Gcc | is it easy | 12:20 |
| Matt| | Gcc, yes | 12:20 |
| Gcc | ive never before used initrd thats why | 12:21 |
| Matt| | Gcc, but let's make this clear: the only reason to build a kernel is to learn how to do it, it is not actually necessary | 12:21 |
| nevyn | initrd is not nessicary even on ubuntu if your kernel is correctly configured. | 12:21 |
| Gcc | Matt|: nope ive been building kernels from 2.4.x kernels | 12:21 |
| Pizbit | Gcc: 2.6 kernels are built differently to 2.6 | 12:22 |
| Pizbit | er, 2.4 | 12:22 |
| Matt| | Gcc, the command is "mkinitrd /boot/name_your_initrd 2.6.8.1", substitute the number of your kernel | 12:22 |
| Gcc | Pizbit: 2.6 too | 12:22 |
| Matt| | Gcc, also have a read of the manual for mkinitrd | 12:22 |
| eim | bob2: I need the internal speaker mostly for irssi. | 12:22 |
| Matt| | Gcc, no guarantee it will boot though. You have to have the right config | 12:22 |
| eim | bob2: Before switching to ubuntu I had it working fine on sid. | 12:22 |
| Gcc | Matt|: ill use the default one | 12:23 |

| [Mirak] | shank_, remove an applet.....change the orientation......put the applet back | 03:18 |

| jmichel | byE sorry | 03:20 |
| jmichel | thanks | 03:20 |
| kent | Linger, but on the LAN its used as a samba-share, and on your computer you have to mount it as NTFS, and thats problematic on Linux. | 03:20 |
| azuzak | Linger, I use this line in my /etc/fstab: /dev/hda1 /home/dewd/win ntfs ro,user,umask=022 0 0 | 03:21 |
| Linger | Uhm .. is it too hard .. oh thanks! :) | 03:21 |
| azuzak | where /dev/hda1 points to the NTFS partition and /home/dewd/win points to the directory where I want to mount the partition | 03:22 |

| matt__ | ah, thx both | 04:22 |
| Matt| | [Mirak] , yes that is true, but i think that the aim is to have most packages added to the menu automatically: they just don't get round to doing them all: there are too many! | 04:22 |
| bob2 | erm | 04:23 |
| bob2 | in Debian they are all in the menu | 04:23 |
| bob2 | that was disabled explicitly in ubuntu | 04:23 |
| kalle_ | so i delete hda5 and hda4, then re-create hda4 spanning the whole disc? | 04:23 |

| bob2 | kalle_: NO | 04:23 |
| bob2 | [Mirak] : because it makes the debian menu enormous | 04:23 |
| Matt| | lol | 04:23 |
| bob2 | kalle_: I did not say to delete hda4 | 04:24 |
| kalle_ | bob2, you didnt say nothing, thats why im asking :) | 04:24 |
| Matt| | bob2, but if people install packages which are outside the base system, do you think that they should join the menu automatically? | 04:24 |
| Matt| | kalle_, <bob2> use mac-fdisk to delete hda5 | 04:24 |
| bob2 | Matt|: no | 04:24 |
| [Mirak] | bob2, is there an EASY way to add them?, or just this PATCH you speak off | 04:24 |

| kalle_ | but deleting one partiotion wont make another partition grow? | 04:25 |
| bob2 | kalle_: read what I said | 04:25 |
| stuNNed | bob2, reason why abiword wasn't added to the menu? | 04:25 |
| Matt| | easytag is also not added to the menu | 04:25 |
| bob2 | stuNNed: it doesn't have a .desktop file, I guess | 04:25 |
| bob2 | Matt|: because the debian menu is huge and unwieldly | 04:25 |

| mjr | ketsugi, ohh, like that. No, you need to shrink the partition first | 05:24 |
| xf_ | is there anything special needed to use universe packages apart from uncommenting relevant lines in apt sources.list and apt-get update? | 05:24 |
| ketsugi | Okay... how do I go about that? | 05:24 |
| Kal_Zakath | xf_ : nope | 05:24 |
| xf_ | i can see asterisk, for example, in universe by searching in a web browser, but i can't see it when i apt-cache search for it | 05:24 |

| JakSprat | as a new-to-linux, I see a lot of products have linux distributions. eg. Eclipse and Java etc. Many have a "RPM" distribution and a "non-RPM" one. Should that mean anything to an Ubuntu users? (Can I choose any one?) | 08:55 |

| JakSprat | right, so avoid them then | 08:56 |

| SmokingFire | I don't | 09:22 |
| lt_kije | are the partitions mounted? | 09:23 |
| SmokingFire | I remember when I added windows paritions to fstab it would do it | 09:23 |
| lt_kije | so what does your fstab say? | 09:23 |
| jmhodges | thats because the partition would be mounted if it was in fstab | 09:23 |
| SmokingFire | but this reiserfs (empty) and that is fstab doesn't show up | 09:23 |
| SmokingFire | ok, I just did this in fstab one moment please | 09:23 |
| SmokingFire | "/dev/hda7 /mnt/multimedia reiserfs defaults 0 2" | 09:24 |
| lt_kije | so then when you open computer->disk, and you go to /mnt/multimedia do you see anything? | 09:24 |
| SmokingFire | I just copied it from what the ubuntu installer did for my "/home" paritition/ | 09:25 |

| Striss | i had to do that in Fluxbox to get all my fonts to work properly | 09:54 |
| hypa7ia|busy | nefertati: gnome-ppp | 09:54 |

| epod | every theme I try says it only works in 0.10 to 1.0. Ok, where is the control centre, Striss? | 09:54 |
| chibifs | Well, The problem is, this computer can't boot from a CD, and the CD/Floppy is a single swappable port. | 09:54 |

| lt_kije | chibifs: you could do a debian netinstall using floppy disks (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/) | 09:55 |

| JDahl | jriver, ide-scsi, scsi-emu is apparently bugged in 2.6, there are many bugreports on it the Debian mailing lists. In particular, the stock mkinitrd is buggy and will in some cases break access to your root partition when you're booting of SATA.

| spektr | |trey|: you say that grub can boot from a ext3 /boot inside a LVM? Or do you mean that I need a separate /boot partition outside the LVM? | 10:33 |

| lance | hypa7ia, tom_ the packages are there in the defaul, standard apt.sources with warty | 11:23 |
| calvin | tseng .. is ya repository the : www.getsweaaa.com one ? | 11:23 |
| hypa7ia | lance then why is a search in synaptics not turning them up for him? and also why fdo they not have the little ubuntu circile in my synaptics? | 11:24 |
| lance | I can search my synaptic, and apt-cache search flgx and I find them. I have not touched my apt.sources | 11:25 |
| hypa7ia | flgx != fglrx | 11:25 |
| lance | hypa7ia are you sure about that? | 11:26 |
| hypa7ia | pretty sure | 11:26 |
| lance | one tricky thing about synaptic is how it searches. I search for radeon as a name will not find anything, but with radeon in the description will find something | 11:26 |
| hypa7ia | this is the ATI binary driver we're talking about | 11:27 |
| lance | yeah, the ATI binary driver for the Radeon cards, fglrx-control, fglrx-driver | 11:27 |
| hypa7ia | yup | 11:27 |
| HcE | does the control work now? | 11:27 |
| tom__ | so then, should I search for that? | 11:27 |
| hypa7ia | in my synaptics it is in restricted | 11:27 |
| tom__ | instead of "radeon"? | 11:27 |
| HcE | <-- ATI user for ~1 year | 11:27 |
| lance | yes, search for fglrx as the name, or as radeon in the description | 11:28 |

| Billox | Im using an intel i740 card and a hitachi CM811plus 21" screen | 11:49 |
