So for example in line 3: [03:29] deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main multiverse restricted [03:29] you would make: [03:29] deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main multiverse #restricted === jrib thinks that works... if not just put it on a new line [03:29] do the same for the other 3 lines that contain "restricted" [03:30] so i just want to comment out the word restricted? [03:30] skjr: yeah, that should work [03:30] restricted is failing? [03:30] nalioth: yes, not really sure why [03:30] change the us.archive to just plain archive and try again [03:31] don't go shutting off repos [03:31] we were going to put them back :) [03:31] ok, i did that, still get an error when updating [03:31] what error? [03:33] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9572/ [03:34] skjr: you didn't comment all the restricted stuff [03:34] ok, let me check again [03:34] you can try nalioth's suggestion too, we should have tried that first in retrospect [03:35] you're right, i missed two [03:35] it updated without error this time [03:35] skjr: now uncomment and update again [03:36] ok, that appeared to work [03:36] should i go after the driver now? [03:36] skjr: yeah [03:37] i forget which one I was after, I'll have to look back through [03:37] i think it was this - sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [03:38] does that sound right?

[02:03] I wnat to access my hdd1 drive through the shortcut on the panel [02:03] yeah [02:03] ok right click and go to add to panel [02:03] what version of ubuntu btw? [02:04] 1.60 [02:04] 6.10? === VII [n=VII@c83-254-37-70.bredband.comhem.se] has joined #ubuntu-classroom [02:04] ops yeah sorry === VII [n=VII@c83-254-37-70.bredband.comhem.se] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Leaving"] [02:05] adrian_: do you see the button for "custom application launcher"? [02:05] in add panel now [02:05] yeah [02:06] ok click that, then select "File" as the type, give it a name, and input "/share" without quotes for location [02:06] and pick an icon [02:07] but its not a file i want to acces but a dir [02:07] that's ok, directories are files too, everything on linux is a file [02:09] so it's should be just /hare then? [02:09] /share, right [02:10] yeah /share === VII [n=VII@c83-254-37-70.bredband.comhem.se] has joined #ubuntu-classroom [02:10] i couldn't do that [02:10] adrian_: why? [02:10] accessdenied [02:11] that shouldn't happen :/ In a terminal, does this command work: nautilus /share [02:12] yes, i go diectly to the dir === Turgon [n=Turgon@unaffiliated/turgon] has joined #ubuntu-classroom [02:12] ok, you created the launcher though and when you click on it it says "access denied"? Or does it say "access denied" while you create it? [02:14] it works the first time I click on it but the other time, it doesn't [02:15] it's says "couldn't start application - no execuable objekt" [02:16] adrian_: strange... what if you edit the launcher and change it to Type "Application" and then change the command to "nautilus /share" (no quotes) [02:17] hm...i can use the shortcut to /share but I want to go to /share/media/ but i wont [02:17] ok, what does this command return: ls -ld /share/media [02:17] also i can go to /share as long as I don't move the shortcut to a different loc on the panel? [02:19] then it doesn't recognize nautilus :( [02:20] when I move the icon the command dir vanish :( [02:20] hmm I think I remember some bug on 6.10 about moving launchers [02:21] move it to where you want, then edit the properties, then don't move them anymore, does that work? [02:21] I'll check [02:22] no then i get the access denied message (It could run the program) [02:23] this is my command at the mom: /share/media === hybrid [n=x@72.169.30.254] has joined #ubuntu-classroom [02:23] adrian_: what is the output of this command: ls -ld /share/media [02:24] jrib: this from the terminal - dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 2006-09-17 01:11 /share/media [02:25] adrian_: weird... what if you use something like /usr/share instead just to test? [02:26] ok, paste it in under command in the shortcut on the panel but the same message :( [02:27] jrib: you mean /usr/local/share? [02:27] jrib: stay out of system space [02:28] nalioth: he's just creating a launher to view files and I have no idea why his mounted /share/media isn't working. Permissions are 555, root owned [02:28] adrian_: wait, why does it say command? [02:28] jrib: just saying . . . [02:28] nalioth: ok :) [02:28] adrian_: is "File" chosen as the type? [02:28] jrib: practice safe computing [02:29] jrib: it might say path, got a swedish version so === hybrid [n=x@72.169.30.254] has joined #ubuntu-classroom [02:30] no program, and for some reason I can't choose file now when it is created, just Programs or Programs in terminal? [02:31] heh... did you try "nautilus /share/media" without quotes for that? === VII [n=VII@c83-254-37-70.bredband.comhem.se] has joined #ubuntu-classroom [02:32] i did another with file and dir /share/media but only comes to /share but it's working as long as I don't move it [02:33] yeah, it seems like you are being bitten by that bug [02:34] yeah, i guess so. The nautilus /share/media loc didn't work [02:34] adrian_: even before you move it? [02:35] i got it to work now, by typing in /share/Media [02:36] erm ok [02:36] but i guess if I move it i wont work [02:36] no, if I move it it stops working [02:37] the stuff is stored in ~/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers . See what it looks like before and after moving [02:38] how do I look at that, trough the terminal? [02:38] you could, you could also just use nautilus [02:39] where do I find this nautilus then? Under Programs? [02:39] nautilus is the file manager [02:40] you can go to Places > whatever [02:40] ok, so it shiould be in the filesystem then? [02:41] ~ means /home/your_username [02:41] i see [02:42] just have desktop, examples and a file called wget - log there? [02:43] adrian_: anything that starts with a '.' is hidden. Show hidden files [02:44] now i see it [02:44] can you give me the loc again? [02:45] the stuff is stored in ~/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers . See what it looks like before and after moving [02:47] no differnce in the icons as far as I can see [02:47] idk then, try searching bugs.ubuntu.com for the bug, I'm pretty sure I saw it there once [02:48] what is the name of the bug? [02:48] no idea [02:48] :) [02:48] make sure to search for fixed bugs, because it has been fixed in the next version of ubuntu [02:50] what do you mean? [02:50] i should look for the fixedword in the status list? [02:52] in advanced search, it lets you choose to search "needs info", "unconfirmed", "fix released", etc.... by default it doesn't search "fix released" [02:54] i see i'll try doing that some other time.

[07:41] umm [07:41] i have no idea [07:41] that means that i have to put in the cd to add a repo? [07:41] well it will usually prompt you to insert the cd-rom when you want to install things, which I find annoying [07:42] yea that's really annoying [07:42] ok, second question: do you want to enable multiverse in addition to universe? [07:42] what is the difference? [07:42] Botamis: multiverse includes non-free things, in the sense that they aren't open source [07:43] or have some weird license [07:43] well chances are most websites are going to have non-free formats right? then I would want multi please [07:43] k [07:43] first lets disable the cd-rom: do you see line 5 that begins "deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 6.10 _..."?

[07:46] deb* [07:46] they both should say "universe" at the end [07:46] ok [07:46] done [07:46] ok, now add " multiverse" to the end of both of those lines [07:46] deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main restricted universe multiverse [07:46] deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main restricted universe multiverse [07:47] do the same for 38 and 39 [07:47] they both had it at the end to begin with [07:47] how can i see the line numbers [07:47] Botamis: those aren't lines 22 and 23 [07:47] ok how can i see the line numbers?
