Gerinych: you can try using vista recovery console and run chkdsk

i love old versions

hendrasaputra: ok then, ill try

_21h_: there is no problem using a livecd on an old version

"Ex-Chat"

how to disable this stupid error?

i want to make it now

_21h_: "man rm" will give you your answer, easily.

_21h_: as long as the live system can read and modify ext3 partions (all garunteed with ubuntu) you can do it

_21h_: stop

is there any other IP scanner like angry ip scanner ?

no live cd i have

_21h_: this will be your last warning

"Ex-Chat"

_21h_: use the livecd, and remove the data from your disk using the lvecd

livecd

no livecd

_21h_: you cannot remove the data while the disk is in use

_21h_: you could even use a hoary cd to do it

i have nothing

_21h_: then get one

_21h_: you need to get one

i can i know

_21h_: then you can't do anything

but this version cant

_21h_: "man rm".

_21h_: then download one or even get gentoo minimal cd which will also achieve the same

rww: Thanks for the answer! It did the job!!

_21h_: it's nothing to do with the version you can't delete data while it's in use (eg: your running ubuntu, so you can't delete it)

_21h_> Listen to what everyone is telling you

kernel recompiling will work fine

thanks for help

Hi :) So I have this bunch of files which are all owned by "root" are there any way I can make them ALL (There are 5 foldes and a couple of files + subfolders) owned by me instead?

debclair: not me but im sure we can help with any specific issues you have

Is there a way to compile mysql on ubuntu? Is this a good idea? I had a suggestion to do apt-build, then run the .deb package.

psypher246: hi. maybe this helps

i installed kde4 over my existing ubuntu. now i see only kubuntu splash screen when my OS loads. how do i change that back to Ubuntu ?

eax: sudo chown user:group file -R

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833732&page=2

samhassell: Thanks a bunch :D

eax: the -R is for recursive changes

lol chfwiggum, fail =P

is it possible to remove all the games in one command something like "apt-get remove group games" ?

samhassell: recursive?

WelshDragon: ? :)

psypher246: hi. maybe this helps

* psypher246 has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

He quit straight after =P

vignesh: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm

eax: it will make the change to all files within the directory you specify

sudo chmod 777 (or the permissions you want) / file_location

samhassell: Okay, thanks a lot :)

WelshDragon: hes desperate, will come back :)

!puregnome | alternatively, if you don't want kde4 at all any more

alternatively, if you don't want kde4 at all any more: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop »

eax: np

Signius: you could use dpkg -l | grep -i game and then grep / awk that to eventually cut out the package name, the -exec sudo apt-get remove {} ;

"Leaving"

rww, thanks :)

anybody here i can pm about dual licensing between gpl and proprietary?

*questions

vignesh: let me know if that works; i think it should but someone the other day said it didn't (but their system was messed up anyway, which might have been why)

Signius: or you can search synaptic for game and they will all be shown

my situation is that i have a dual boot usually, i accidentally install paragon boot manger witch messed up the grub and the mbr, so from the live cd i reinstall the grub like that; in command line grub, find /boot/grub/stage1, witch give me (hd0,2) so i put root (hd0,2), then setup (hd0), and quit. Now i have linux working but all the document folder, like;picture,video, my document etc are the one from my vista partition, h

ow did that happend ? and i can't see the ntfs partition yet and then i can't boot on vista, doesn't work. but the grub is there like before .

rww, i will let u know after a reboot in two mins.

Hi all. Asus F8sn, web camera doesn't working. Ubuntu 8.10, 32-bit, google didn't help. What can I start with to investigate this problem?

pisecx: lspci and lsusb

hi guys I have a intel quad 2 processor which ubuntu dist will I use? is it gutsy gibbon?

ActionParsnip: What should I look for in the output?

pisecx: one will identify the webcam, you can search for that

Elmnas: the latest 8.10 Intrepid Ibex should do as well...

pisecx: identifiers

ActionParsnip: ok, I see

but does it support core?

rww, i still see the same kubuntu splash screen :-(

I dont think it

Elmnas: 64bit? yes.

I mean intel quad 2

vignesh: when you did that reconfigure line, did it ask you whether you want gdm or kde?

not 64 bit..

I guess its gutsy gibbon

but I cant find the latest rele

is anyone here running utorrent with wine?

I'm having some issues and require help

rww, yeah, i chose gdm

rww, yeah, i chose gdm

Elmnas: lsb_release -a | grep -i code

Hi, need help I can't connect to the internet through my Linksys BEFSR41 router

psypher246: try that : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833732&page=2

Elmnas: gutsy gibbon is 7.10 (outdated). you better get 8.04 which has long term support or 8.10 (latest)

vignesh: what's the output of "cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager"?

Elmnas: gutsy gibbon is an older realease that will be soon outdated an no longer supported...

#ubuntu-fr

ok

so which do you guys prefer?

rww, /usr/sbin/gdm

Elmnas: 8.10 for sure :D

vignesh: okay. And what's the output of "ls /etc/rc2.d/*dm*"?

Elmnas: out of what?

which ubuntu dist?

rww, /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm /etc/rc2.d/S99kdm-kde4

Elmnas: gutsy for me

ok ok

Elmnas: but im on intrepid right now

actionparsnip can you link me plz

ok ok

hey guys.. i'm trying to compile.. but i think i'm missing some QT files maybe? when i go to 'make' i get a lot of errors.. in the Makefile it references "QINCLUDEDIR" and "QLIBDIR" of which both paths don't exist yet.. any ideas?

ActionParsnip: why gutsy and not hardy?

Elmnas: i upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10, i think 8.04 (hardy) is better

Elmnas: you might want to read on how the ubuntu release cylces works...

ok ok

vignesh: okay. issue this and it should fix it: "sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S99kdm-kde4 K99kdm-kde4"

rue37473: it hard the xorg config tool which was wiped out in hardy :(

hi guys

i got a dvd which I guess is encrypted. I tried opening it with xine/mplayer/vlc but doesnt open. It plays well on windows. any pointers?

thirst: try install libdvdcss2 from the !medibuntu repo

hello guys

rww, ok i issued that. can you please explain me those commands in words ? (i.e.) what you exactly did now ?

how can i get contact with partner section ?

vignesh, sudo= admin privs, mv = move, file a, to file b

join #ubuntu-fr

can someone point me in the right direction for minimizing my intrepid install (a.k.a. uninstalling parts of the ubuntu-desktop metapackage (evolution, ekiga) without breaking my system)?

forgot that.. thanks guys

Out_Cold, i know that. what does those file names mean ? and how does it fix my issue ?

aictionparsnip can you link me to the download page please so I take right

vignesh: okay. The first command outputted the contents of a file that's supposed to decide what the default display manager is (and which has to be set to the path to gdm). The second command looked in your /etc/rc2.d/ directory, which contains links to all the scripts run during graphical startup. The third command moved the kdm link so it started with K instead of S. This makes the script system Kill kdm during bootup if it's running, rather than Start it.

vignesh: it's a little confusing, so feel free to ask more questions about it if you have them :)

lodin__: /join

zs>:o

not too sure vignesh i don't dabble with KDE too much

"Ex-Chat"

hello all

Elmnas: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

i would assume if you were renaming a file.. maybe you had a reference somewhere that was faulty

rww, ok i now understand how kdm is killed. how id gdm activated ? is there a file starting with S which starts gdm ?

Elmnas: select desktop edition, then either 8.10 or 8.04, select you architect, select a mirror near you, then click download. :D

vignesh: yeah. Look back to the output from that ls command you did. the S30gdm one starts gdm

will I take

64 bit?

any1 know about "cedega"???

Elmnas: if you are not sure, go with 32bit.

rww, yeah fine. i got it now. thanks a lot :-)

I have intel quad 2

vignesh: the numbers in those file names set the order that stuff is started and killed in. you can do ls /etc/rc2.d/ to see the whole set of boot scripts, or install something like package "bum" in universe to see it graphically

any1 know about "cedega"???

that the reason I asked around 50 times which dist is for intel quad 2

Elmnas: if u got less than 4gb ram go with 32bit

!cedega

cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega

"Ex-Chat"

I have 3gb ram

ciao a tutti

rww, okie. i'll try. thanks a lot again :-()

rww, :-)

owh..

cQ: not all work with wine

haveing problem instaling ubuntu from within windows it get to 99.7 % then says that it looses the cd rom and can no longer read from it. what could cause this?

hi at all!

cQ: check the appdb for how the game runs

Elmnas: if you don't know whether you need 32bit or 64bit, then you should get 32bit. it will be safer that way.

Earthen: check for bad burn and md5sum?

cQ: some have loki installers to make them run native

well I look on ubuntu forums

i wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction to using the internet through my mobile phone? I plugged in my LG KU990 (Viewty). Ubuntu installed the phone, but I cannot use the internet on it....is there something else I should be doing?
