| CheshireViking | a few comments in here about it working for some & not for others, just wondered if the newer version was less risky - In which I'd have hated to see the old version |
| sergiu | hello how can i add an language to the keyboard Layout Switcher? (i'm xubuntu useR) |
| IndyGunFreak | CheshireViking, all I can say, is Ive used Automatix1, Automatix2, and Automatix Bleeding Edge on 3 systems, 3 different versions of Ubuntu, no probs |
| prem | ok guys..time to run clean install..i will be back..thanks for ur time |
| erUSUL | !automatix |
| IndyGunFreak | prem, good luck |
| ubotu | automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe |
| A_I_ | why don't ubuntu init scripts have "status" option ? |
| CheshireViking | IndyGunFreak, ah well, you must be the one lucky person |
| IndyGunFreak | if you say |
| hayden | !WorksForMe |
| ubotu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. |
| A_I_ | how can I know if a service is running or not ? |
| pazemlsqdfmoj | thanks to envy script, i got nvidia driver working, now i'm trying to get S-VIDEO working, i followed this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=98456 , but with the updated xorg.conf, my X simply won't start |
| IndyGunFreak | hayden, i never suggested it would work for everybody i'm jus saying it doesn't crash everyone's systems like reported |
| Enselic`` | pazemlsqdfmoj: what does X say? |
| hoodies | how would i get ssh working with a ftp? so i can upload my files i need to or download them to edit them, instead of me keep switching between the two os's? |
| zpertee | how do I change ubuntu server networking to dhcp? |
| hairulfr | The text that's under icons on ones desktop, i.e "Home Folder" - is there a way of removing that, or only making it pop up when cursor hovers? Cheers! |
| pazemlsqdfmoj | Enselic``: that's rather hard to say, as when it crashes, i can't very well copy paste, but i believe it says something bout screens not existing or something |
| erUSUL | hoodies: use scp or sshfs |
| hayden | IndyGunFreak, er I was just seeing what ubotu's response to !WorksForMe was |
| IndyGunFreak | hayden, oh..lol, it gets posted here a dozen times an hour |
| hoodies | erUSUL: and i can use apt-get inatall to get one of them? |
| choru | someone that's good on samba? |
| Flamekebab | Dumb question - is the Intel Core Duo 2 an x86 processor, or a 64bit one? |
| Enselic`` | pazemlsqdfmoj: well it's important what it says, so restart and provide exact error messages |
| pazemlsqdfmoj | Enselic``: ok, be right back |
| A_I_ | ok |
| IndyGunFreak | Flamekebab, i'm not sure, may not be so dumb, i think its 64bit though, but use caut9ion on the 64bit distros |
| Flamekebab | IndyGunFreak, I've been treating it as x86 so far was mostly curious |
| IndyGunFreak | Flamekebab, thats probably best |
| A_I_ | it's always a pleasure to feel heard |
| IndyGunFreak | the 64bit distros, it never seems to work right for me |
| Flamekebab | I've just gone from a fully functional Edgy to a b0rked Feisty hehe |
| IndyGunFreak | lol |
