[06:21] TheLance, you can add the entry to Grub, I'm not sure on how to do that, but I do know it is possible. [06:21] a fresh install of ubuntu and apt get (all your favourites) is not too bad to do for a recovery... as long as you've got your home directory backed up... that's irreplaceable [06:21] NFS not NTFS in case thats what you were thinking ;) [06:21] ok just updated GAIM and now i cannot connect, what do i do? === Lynx [n=andrey@85.234.187.157] has joined #ubuntu [06:21] macd: umm, isn't NFS a winder format?

If you have only the C drive, you have one partition.

[08:03] feisty looks like edgy at this point [08:03] macd, good lookin man, that was it now do ya know the package for SDL Devel? [08:03] and edgy looks wonderful [08:03] since i have 3 partitons righ tnow...my windows...swap..and ubuntu [08:03] not to mention ubuntu picked up the CFQ kernel scheduler in edgy. [08:03] if i install vista on the windows partition [08:03] well technically 2 [08:03] will ubuntu and swap still be there? [08:03] swap is needed for ubuntu [08:03] macd: yes, i know that. that's exactly my point. he doesn't NEED edgy, he won't even notice the difference. edgy exists so that us powerusers could test-drive the new kernel and xorg to get ready for feisty. thats why they didn't even make cds in shipit. it's hardly even a real release.

[08:04] yeah but it wil lock up alot [08:04] macd, and maybe you can teach me how you search for them, I typed SDL into apt-cache and synaptic way to many results [08:04] without that virtual memory [08:04] TheLance, no it wont. [08:04] you need more RAM! [08:04] TheLance: it pages to the root partition [08:04] then whats the point of having it?

[08:06] is there a reason that the generic kernel should (three times now) randomly "half-freeze" up? [08:06] my keyboard doesnt do anything [08:06] macd, Stepmania its a game for my kid, the binary doesnt work so I am building it [08:06] ahh, ok [08:06] oh. yer already on the alternate CD ... text interface [08:06] yeah well it makes more sense to run it with swap [08:06] my mouse cursor moves, the screen updates, but clicking doesn't do anything. === sheff [n=srjshf@82.204.161.30] has joined #ubuntu [08:06] otherwise it'll slow down like a windows box [08:06] libsdl1.2-dev try that [08:06] macd here is what it said SDL 1.2.6 or greater is required to build StepMania; please [08:06] *** make sure that it is installed to continue the build process.

[08:07] swap space has pretty much nothing to do with it. [08:07] well the stupid virtual memory system it has [08:07] Seravite: Why so? [08:07] Quarupted, libsdl1.2-dev ;) [08:07] not to mention a stupid registry system [08:07] Oh wait nevermind [08:07] seravitae: reboot? [08:07] were pushing ofr a linux registry.

[08:12] macd: yeah, but evolution kinda sucks [08:12] so what good is recovery mode if any command i give it doesn't work? [08:12] i tried aptitude [08:12] theres always thunderbird.
