[00:00] yes it's listed in my disks & filesystem [00:01] hello, i could emulate windows xp using virtual box, and now i am running command and conquer red alert 2, the problem comes when i start playing, i am not able to use the mouse to move INSIDE the game, because outside the Vbox windows appears the linux mouse moving, is there a way to fix this? (guest additions installed already, no mouse capture problem) [00:01] kubuntu2: can you just check how the C:\boot.ini looks on your windows partition? [00:01] what's a good limewire-like program for kubuntu? [00:02] kaddi: don't I have to go into a live cd for that? [00:03] kubuntu2: if your kubuntu is working not. You can just access the disk with windows installed on it and open it with an editor. [00:04] kaddi: how do I do that, click on it in storage media? [00:05] kubuntu2: yes, that should do it [00:07] kaddi: ok what am I looking for? [00:07] a file called boot.ini at the root of the partition [00:08] you can simply open it in a editor like kate [00:08] yes it's there, I opened it [00:08] ok, can you paste me the content? [00:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/258314/ [00:11] kubuntu2: can you please check how the partition is called. type "mount" into konsole and look which partition (it should be /dev/sda2) is mounted as the partition you just accessed [00:12] the boot.ini looks fine :) [00:14] yes it's dev/sda2 [00:15] and you only have one harddisk [00:15] yes [00:16] kubuntu2: that's really odd.. if you select "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" you get into the recovery mode? [00:17] hi, is "cups" related to printers? i have no printer on my system , can i remove cups packages? everytime i update ubuntu, i have to wait a lot for updateing cups [00:17] yep [00:17] kubuntu2: is it my answer? [00:18] melomane: sorry no that answer was for kaddi [00:18] kubuntu2: is the message identical to the one you get when you boot into the other windows-option? [00:18] kubuntu2: nevermind ;) [00:18] you can remove cups if you dont have a printer [00:18] and dont have any special pdf printer etc [00:18] sda2 != multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2) since numbering starts at zero. It would equal partition(1) [00:18] carpii_ really good, no nothing especial [00:19] but if you remove cups, you might remove some apps which depend on it [00:19] so really id just disable it, and leave it to update [00:19] kaddi: never tried the other windows option, but I'm sure it will throw me into recovery as well since that's what it's for [00:19] carpii_ ok,i must do that [00:20] genii: you're sure? I thought MS started at one not zero... [00:21] kaddi: Itś like the grub hd(0,0) is sda1 , etc etc [00:21] genii so if sda2 is the windows partition, we need to edit boot.ini? [00:22] kaddi: I would suggest to add a second entry there with multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) and then select that and see if it can load [00:23] eg: copy line 4 of the paste and change the 2 to 1 [00:23] genii hehehe... as if I would recall how do to that.. :p [00:23] genii: yes but if you add another line you need to design a default and possibly a timeout to be able to choose [00:24] ok kubuntu2 lets try the following, you still have the boot.ini file open? [00:24] this is all sounding very technical lol, tho a simple 2 to 1 change I can do, I think [00:25] kaddi: I can't recall offhand the layout of the boot.ini file. But the info should be readily available someplace google-able [00:25] yes, but not as sudo [00:25] kubuntu2: You can always change it back if it fails miserably [00:25] genii: oh yay :P [00:26] kubuntu2: you should not need to be sudo, to edit it. You can just test by saving the file, if it saves without problem we're good :) [00:26] kaddi: okies [00:27] done [00:27] as genii said copy the line "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition trial" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn" into the file underneath [operating systems] [00:27] without the quotation marks [00:28] and add "timeout=10" without the quotation marks underneath [boot loader] [00:29] save the file and reboot. Select the Windows XP Home Edition option from grub, you should then see a second menu, from that menu choose "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition trial" and see if it can boot [00:30] kaddi: and if it does, that's the solution? :) [00:32] kubuntu2: yes :) I would give you instructions on how to remove the second menu and boot directly into windows, but basically if it works it should be fixed :) [00:32] kaddi: alright I will try it [00:38] Just installed karmic alpha4 and am unable to connect to wireless connections (secured or unsecured). Wireless card is Intel wireless/Pro 4965AGN. [00:38] James147: #ubuntu+1 channel for Karmic [00:38] kk [00:39] ................................................................................... [00:40] Hello? [00:40] hi [00:40] can somebody help me? [00:41] chuyzoz: With what exatly? [00:41] i am fairly desperate now... i just installed kubuntu [00:41] (consider me a complete newbie ) [00:41] and well.. after customizing it and everything.. it was fine [00:41] except.. my wireless was not working for some reason [00:42] i browsed around and saw that wcid was a suitable application [00:42] that could help me out .. so i decided to give it a try [00:42] when i tried to install it... it said i had to remove network manager [00:42] and i did... [00:42] and then my internet went [00:42] and i can´t install wcid or network manager [00:43] so my system is without internet [00:43] chuyzoz: did you install from cd? [00:43] kubuntu? yes [00:43] when i run the live cd its fine [00:43] the internet works.. [00:43] are you running jaunty? [00:43] yes [00:44] you can get the package for either wicd or networkmanager from cd :) [00:44] okay... [00:44] chuyzoz: do you have a konsole? [00:44] how would i do that [00:44] hit alt + f2 and type "konsole" and enter [00:44] i am on a separate computer ... so i can follow all of your steps [00:44] in the live CD session or my regular one ? [00:44] your regular session [00:45] okay .. one second, let me restart the computer then [00:45] chuyzoz: wait [00:45] its.. restarting, what is it ? [00:45] chuyzoz:if you dont have network in it you might want to hear all instructions first [00:46] i am on a separate computer [00:46] chuyzoz: unless you have another comp :) [00:46] chuyzoz: was just checking [00:46] hehe.. that would have been foolish.. === paolo is now known as fic0 [00:46] okay .. its booting up now} [00:47] :) [00:47] okay ... done [00:47] so.. konsole.. right? [00:47] yes please [00:47] go on [00:47] once you have the console type "kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list" into it. a window should open asking for your password and then a file will open in a texteditor [00:47] i need my wired internet working [00:47] or wireless [00:48] the first line should start with: # deb cdrom: [00:48] i dont care which but i need that crap to start working [00:48] how do i make it freakin work [00:49] J2daosh: from command: lspci what does the line about your wired ethernet adapter read? [00:50] realtek semiconductor RTL8101E [00:52] well that didn't work :-/ "root>\system32\hal.dll file is missing/corrupt and has to be reinstalled [00:53] kubuntu2: OK, change it back then. If possible restate original issue [00:54] J2daosh: What does command: lsmod | grep r816 show? [00:56] it shows r8169 35972 0 [00:56] ok, I removed hd from pc and when I reconnected it xp went into recovery mode, kaddi and others were tryin to correct it w/o having to reinstall [00:57] and b4 that I was wondering if once xp is installed does repartition its space cause any probs such as partition name changes [00:57] J2daosh: does: modprobe -l | grep r8168 show that driver available ? [00:58] james147 stated other than fixing grub, everything else should be alright :) and that's my story lol [00:58] J2daosh: I am reading a post right now that your particular adapter loads the 8169 which fails and not the correct 8168 [00:58] no [00:58] kubuntu2: if your going to reinstall xp, partition it before hand but the only issue might be /etc/fstab if the xp partion was listed in there (easy to fix) [00:58] ok, how do i change that adapter? cuz this is really annoying lol [00:59] ah, not another fixer :-/ [01:00] james147: wouldn't it be easier to partition after? [01:00] kubuntu2: not really, its the same process before or after only before it has less chance of screwing your newly installed xp [01:00] unless you really want to do it form windows [01:01] kubuntu2: and the fstab isent hard to fix :) [01:02] james147: ok but it won't change my kubuntu dev names right? (like sda5 to sda7 or so) [01:03] genii: how do i blacklist that wrong driver? [01:04] kubuntu2: dont think so. but if it does that can be fixed [01:07] hmm alright, well I shall be back! lol hope you guys are here when I do this [01:07] hello [01:07] J2daosh: The prob would be then since the 8168 driver seems not available, what would it try to load? [01:07] anyone here record video from the webcam? [01:07] dont know, hopefully a driver that works [01:07] mine is not working... [01:08] its a slim genius webcam... [01:09] neoandersen: try getting cheese webcam booth [01:09] ok [01:09] thanks [01:10] J2daosh: There is quite a lot on this adapter and ubuntu at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843398 posting #10 seems possibly useful for you [01:15] anybody ever try the nuke command [01:16] joshua__: sudo rm -rf ? [01:16] just rm -rf [01:17] it's a really good way of getting rid of a file starting with - [01:17] joshua__: but sudos more fun :) [01:17] as it doesn't do option parsing [01:19] joshua__: if your triyng to get rid of files starting with - carnt you rm -r "-*" ? [01:19] try it [01:19] doesn't work [01:20] *-* [01:20] seems to [01:20] invalid option -- * [01:21] You probably need to use \- [01:21] ./-* [01:21] now you see why I prefer to keep nuke around [01:21] nuke -f removes a file called -f [01:22] rm -r ./-* works and is safer then rm -rf [01:22] Please don't use the rm command in open channel people. [01:23] There are new users who are monkey-see monkey-do and will type things in they see here just from being curious what they do [01:23] yeah that *-* one could do some real damage [01:23] the others generate error messages [01:23] so if i just copy and paste that and hit return.... [01:24] trampel: it would remove files matching the patern spicifed [01:25] no point talking to trampel -- he quit [01:26] I'm glad they put that safeguard about / into the rm command. It proved too easy to generate recurive remove from / by accident. [01:26] and if you really need it you can get it by --no-preserve-root [01:28] if you really want to make a mess of things, see the dd command [01:29] should i apply the hardy patch if im not using hardy? [01:30] sounds like a bad idea [01:31] that it does [01:31] and it makes me think this wont work because the fix is for hardy and not 9.04 [01:38] wtf, i cant install the module [01:39] its saysing that there is no /build directory in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ [01:39] and there isn't, but why should there be? === tommy_the-dragon is now known as tommy_the-fake-a === tommy_the-fake-a is now known as tommy_the-fake-d [01:40] it is a symlink to compiled tree of running kernel, if present [01:41] and if it doens't exist, what do i do?

[01:44] Is it meant that one should use synaptic in order for those to update? [01:46] Mist_: sudo aptitude full-upgrade works [01:46] James147: aye.. I was more mening the application in KDE from the green kogg. [01:48] the update one do through the updatenotifier that is ^^ [01:51] I think it uses something simular to aptitudes 's safe-upgrade, dosent update packages that are more likly to break your system (ones that need to renmoves other packages and such) === max is now known as Guest21478 [02:57] any preferred way to install latest eclipse to jaunty? should I just make a own install or use some repository?

[03:43] ya i'm here lol [03:43] finally got everything up and working on my netbook [03:43] touchpad is still acting a little fruity.. but ubuntu is pretty nice [03:44] had to reinstall kdebase-workspace-bin , i had no desktop after login [03:44] i've been on suse and slackware for the last ten years.. so a lot to learn in a few days [03:44] for just you user name ?

Turns out editing /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf was the answer [03:53] weird [03:54] yeah i saw mentions about editing grub/default but that was wrong of course [03:56] glad there was someone there that would help you === subtrnl is now known as sub[t]rnl [03:57] well i'm gonna jump back on the developement bandwagon, see where i get this phase of my life [03:57] well, I asked the question and got an answer within 10 mins , which isn't too bad [03:58] nope [03:58] i could have wasted 2 hours pecking at the keyboard without result..

[05:23] ok so you have 2 128 meg chips. and its reading 256. where is the problem ? [05:24] i am a little tired and if i'm sounding retarded. i do apologize , its not intended. or did i just read this wrong ? [05:26] i have 512mb total [05:26] its reading only 128 [05:26] so you have 2 256 meg chips physical ? [05:27] mhmm [05:28] and the ram is matching ? [05:28] same make etc ? [05:28] yes [05:29] hardware problem somewhere.. if you have 2 x 256 and it reads 128 , just doesn't make sense [05:29] try switching the ram around.. then reset the bios defaults [05:48] how do i reset the bios defaults [05:50] when the computer is booting and you see the memory reading. you should have to hit a key such as delete or f2, then it should tell you [05:50] something like f9 for defaults etc [05:50] then save and exit [05:50] not knowing which bios your on.. kinda hard to say [05:51] ubuntu?
