[00:06] when i come to make a choice [00:06] between windows 7 and linux [00:06] i cant start it [00:06] iirc it doesn't use Grub when it gets installed on a win32 partition folder, it uses the win32 boot loader, usually ntldr [00:07] ow i think the problem is that my windows 7 is 64 bit [00:08] and i installed it in windows 7 [00:08] is it possible to flash your bios with linux??

[01:35] the application is fpc [01:35] ok [01:35] DoDi- you can try using apt-cache search [01:36] then check for it with -> apt-cache pkgnames | grep -i fpc [01:36] see if any pops up there on that list [01:36] DoDi- I think KPackageKit will list any packages that have been installed even if they aren't from a repository [01:36] KPackageKit lists two fpc packages, but for *install*, not for uninstall [01:37] then check for it with -> apt-cache pkgnames | grep -i fpc <---- [01:37] if it's not there, then it isn't there :} [01:39] the list contains very many fp* packages, including fpc [01:39] ooook [01:39] then use that one you want removed :) [01:39] hehe [01:39] those are the packages installed [01:40] remove fpc says: not installed, so not removed [01:40] right, so it isn't there then [01:40] or you're not using the proper package name [01:41] if the name is fpc-3cbed so it's, isn't fpc, most include the version too in the name [01:42] can I try an upgrade (this is what I really need) [01:43] having an fpc... package on an ftp server - what's the best way to install it [01:44] I have the choice of 1 rpm package, or about 20 deb packages [01:44] ... you can try the rpm and try to make it a .deb with 'alien' [01:44] otherwise you may have to do the 20 debs :} [01:45] then if the conversion goes well, install the .deb manually :) [01:47] I don't have the rights to install "alien" [01:47] heh [01:47] I guess you'll just have to get 'root' hehe [01:47] you can't sudo it? [01:47] alien is in the repos, sudo apt-get install alien; [01:49] sudo kpackagekit seems to work :-) [01:49] hehe [01:50] but don't ask me where I found "kapackagekit" [01:51] well [01:52] where can I adjust the default font size? [01:53] Dolphin has a nice font size, but most other applications use too big fonts [01:53] ... heh [01:53] system settings > look and feel > fonts [01:54] and where applicable "reduce font size" does nothing (increase works) [01:54] you can maybe install extra fonts....

Since I have not set a root password, I don't know how to get in. [06:49] how do I reinstall kde on kubuntu? [06:55] So I installed Kubuntu 9.10 for a relative who is now halfway across the world and has apparently forgotten their password. I try to get them to try the instructions at: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword , but the "Drop to root shell prompt" option results in the system prompting for the root password. I never explicitly set one on the installation -- how can I get them to the point of being able to reset their user account's password? [06:56] vram0: does the "maintenance mode" in grub ask for password? [06:58] Unksi: no, just when the "Drop to root shell" option is selected. [06:58] ok [06:59] dont remember it asking for it last time i used it :/ [06:59] I guess the root password is set to some scrambled thing? [06:59] by default [06:59] yeah its an impossible value by default [06:59] Unksi: have you tried it on 9.10? [06:59] which cant be typed with a keyboard [06:59] yeah [07:12] Does anyone know if the recovery console root prompt should prompt for the root password if it has never been set/changed? [07:13] it shudln't [07:20] daskreech: But it does. [07:20] Speedy2: but it shoudln't I would put it down as an oversight [07:21] daskreech: So if one is in the sticky situation where you need recovery root console, and didn't set a root password, what are the sane options? [07:22] and you have no live CD ? [07:25] daskreech: As luck would have it, the CDROM/DVDROM is broken (laptop) and I don't have a USB-CDROM to use. [07:25] Do you have a USB ? [07:25] I tried to edit the recovery option in grub and chagne "ro single" to "init=/bin/bash" and that gave me a root console. But using passwd didn't work [07:26] Speedy2: did you give the route to passwd ? [07:26] Speedy2: well you would have to mount the drive first :) [07:26] everything was mounted [07:26] I know about that. [07:26] i.e root filesystem is rw [07:26] umm [07:26] ok [07:27] i will try agani [07:27] again [07:27] and you coudln't see passwd [07:27] ? [07:27] passwd "worked" but when trying to save the new password, it gave me an error about updating the token database. [07:27] ah ok [07:28] you did a chroot? [07:28] No, just let it fall to the console [07:28] Probably should chroot [07:29] let me try that [07:29] ok [07:30] daskreech: Well, the root filesystem is already mounted by the system, normally you use chroot with a mount point...any suggestions? [07:31] Speedy2: so the / is actually the / from the drive? [07:31] yes, because I have booted via the grub entry, except I changed "ro single" to "init=/bin/bash" [07:31] Is it an environment variable that needs to be set? [07:33] I also appeneded "init=/bin/bash" to the "ro single" line and that didn't help. [07:34] OK [07:34] Adding "rw init=/bin/bash" AFTER ro single worked!.
