[08:17] <n2diy> I just did an install with 10.04, no errors, and now when I reboot, I have a grub rescue prompt!?
[08:38] <xubuntu656> Hi!^__^
[08:38] <xubuntu656> Xubuntu is cool!
[08:41] <xubuntu656> But here was an error...
[08:43] <xubuntu656> sudo pppoeconf Unknown terminal: unknown Check the TERM environment variable. Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database. Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired termcap entry. /usr/sbin/pppoeconf: 523: modconf: not found
[08:44] <Sysi> install updates
[08:45] <xubuntu656> i'm installing them now together with the system :)
[08:46] <Sysi> well, that's fixed bug
[08:46] <xubuntu656> Thanks:)
[10:10] <nicofs> How do i permanently add a new screen resolution? various tutorials guided me to /etc/X11/xorg.conf - i don't have that file...
[10:11] <Sysi> you can create one
[10:12] <well_laid_lawn> and you can put a xrandr command in autostart
[10:12] <well_laid_lawn> s/and/or/
[10:13] <nicofs> why has this to be so damn complicated in linux?
[10:14] <knome> because hardware manufacturers do not release their specifications freely
[10:14] <nicofs> Sysi: how do i create the .conf file?
[10:14] <nicofs> Sysi: from scratch?
[10:14] <knome> nicofs, you only have to add those options you want to use
[10:15] <nicofs> knome: if there was anything there i could add them to, i'd have something to copy the format from...
[10:15] <Sysi> the base file can be created automatically, there sure is howto on internet
[10:16] <knome> hmm..
[10:16] <knome> !xorg
[10:16] <knome> nicofs, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding%20undetected%20resolutions
[10:17] <Sysi> or: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/create-a-xorgconf-file.html
[10:20] <nicofs> xorgconfig sounds good... but where do i get it from? it's not installed and not in the repos...
[10:20] <nicofs> ah sorry... xorg -configure
[10:21] <nicofs> hmm... command not found...
[10:21] <Sysi> you need to run that when xserver is not running
[10:21] <nicofs> ah...
[10:21] <nicofs> and that will generate a xorg.conf?
[10:22] <Sysi> it should
[10:22] <nicofs> how do i stop x?
[10:23] <nicofs> (and restart it thereafter?)
[10:24] <Sysi> telinit 3 in virtual terminal
[10:24] <Sysi> telinit 5 back to graphical, or reboot
[10:25] <Sysi> knome: it's still bit odd that unidentified monitor can only have 800x600 res
[10:25] <knome> Sysi, yeah well, X is a mess
[10:25] <Sysi> sure is
[10:25] <nicofs> mine was basically detected well... as 1920x1080... i used Arandr...
[10:26] <nicofs> but 1080p via D-sub is madness... and my GMA950 won't cope with it anyway...
[10:27] <Sysi> you can put lot more than that through VGA
[10:27] <nicofs> so i wanted to go down to 1280x720 - which, weirdly, was the only resolution in that massive list of available resolutions, that did not exist...
[10:29] <nicofs> i'll just do that xorg -configure thing... back in a moment... (hopefully)
[10:30] <nicofs> erm... what effect should telinit 3 have? apart from none?
[10:31] <Sysi> oh man have they broke that on *buntu
[10:31] <Sysi> service gdm stop
[10:34] <nicofs> xorg still returns "command not found"
[10:34] <knome> try 'Xorg -configure'
[10:34] <Sysi> sudo
[10:35] <knome> Sysi, it's Xorg, not xorg
[10:35] <Sysi> i still think it need sudo
[10:35] <nicofs> knome: case sensitive... i could hurt myself... i have done that same mistake last time...
[10:35] <knome> might need, yes
[10:35] <nicofs> back in a sec...
[10:35] <knome> probably does
[10:36] <Sysi> if it's writing it to right place
[10:36] <knome> it might also just create a Xorg.conf to current dir if you're not running it as root
[10:37] <knome> (that would make sense)
[10:37] <Sysi> could be
[10:39] <nicofs> ok... that worked... i'll mv the created .conf to /etc/X11...
[10:39] <knome> Sysi, a-HA! ;)
[10:39] <Sysi> smarter program than me
[10:40] <knome> well, that usually does happen even to the best of us
[10:43] <nicofs> So... how do I add my external monitor with the resolution 1280x720 to that xorg.conf?
[10:47] <nicofs> knome, Sysi ?
[10:48] <knome> no idea. sorry
[10:51] <nicofs> i know i need to add the modeline i need *somewhere*...
[11:56] <nicofs> can someone help me edit my xorg.conf? i need to add another mode to my external monitor (1280x720)...
[12:28] <nicofs> I know my two monitors are called (checked xrandr) "LVDS1" (laptop screen) and "VGA1" (extrernal). Can i use them as Identifiers in two "Monitor" Sections (one each) in xorg.conf?
[12:35] <knome> i think yes

[16:42] <Laserbeak> hi there i'm following a tutorial to install ubuntu from the hdd with a .iso file.   I've set up grub( put the vmlinuz and initrd.gz in \boot\newinstall), but i get an error saying that it can't find the files needed to install. The tutorial i'm taking from the ubuntu website, never told me where to put the actual .iso image. where do i put it?
[16:55] <charlie-tca> Laserbeak: I believe you have someone helping on the crossposted channels
[16:55] <Laserbeak> charlie-tca:  yeah
[16:56] <charlie-tca> please don't crosspost, it makes it too hard to help properly
[16:57] <Laserbeak> ok sorry
[18:21] <laserbk> hi me again
[18:21] <laserbk> i can't find gparted in the repo and it's really hard to use parted
[18:21] <laserbk> do i have to add a custom  repo to get it?
[18:21] <laserbk> i'm using 9.04
[18:23] <laserbk> nvm i'll just use a live cd
[18:28] <robertzaccour> anyone know how to install themes in maverick?

[18:39] <robertzaccour> TheSheep, how?
[18:40] <robertzaccour> oh i got it :)
[20:21] <laserbk> Hi, i've used gparted to make a 2.6GB partition and move it to the front of /dev/sda1. when i use mount to check the list of partitions mounted, sda1 is the only one, so, the main partion is still designated as sda1. i have sda1-sda5 in the dev directory, but only sda1 is mountable.
[20:22] <laserbk> i get either mount: can't find /dev/sda0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[20:22] <laserbk> or mount: mount point none does not exist
[20:22] <laserbk> how do i mount the partition i just made?
[20:22] <laserbk> and how to i view them?
[20:23] <laserbk> is there a GUI tool to do this with?
[23:05] <subspider> hello
[23:09] <laserbk> back to windows i guess...
[23:43] <Thermi> shortly down, back in 5 minutes
