| apollo2011 | octol: That is kind of what I have been reading, but nvidia maintains a supported card list for each version of the driver, and my card is consistently listed as being supported. |
| sonictwin | mwe: i just installed it with apt-get, just wanted to ask before i restarted |
| octol | I'll second Pricey's advice on keeping backups before using ntfs write |
| sonictwin | and i did edit my /etc/fstab |
| whatspy | Pricey: for text within files ? |
| Pricey | whatspy, ah no then :P |
| mwe | sonictwin: always keep backups of critical files, though ;) linux and windows alike |
| cara | Hi |
| whatspy | Pricey: oops, I should have been more specific |
| cara | I just can't get ubuntu to see my hard drive |
| K3rl0u4rn | so how do I build an iso of an old CD with read errors ? |
| nodonnel | should ams work right away after installation with synaptic? |
| Jaxster | how do I open a .bin file? |
| zeroflag | mwe: thank you SO much. I was about to go nuts about this. -_- |
| Jaxster | in terminal? |
| ardchoille | K3rl0u4rn: I would think that, since an ISO building app would need to read the CD, you may be scewed. |
| pitillo | !nforce |
| mwe | zeroflag: heh. np |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about nforce - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi |
| ardchoille | s/scewed/screwed/ |
| octol | apollo2011; nvidia is swamped with work on their Vista drivers, I think unfortunately linux users with older cards are low priority for them |
| tts | after editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf. is there any command i should run to update it. or is it just a reboot ? |
| YetiChick | K3rl0u4rn: I'd probably copy everything readable from the disc and build a new ISO from that directory. |
| K3rl0u4rn | ardchoille: would it be possible to copy a single track of the CD ? |
| ardchoille | K3rl0u4rn: I wouldn't know how. |
| sonictwin | mwe, thanks :-) |
| mwe | tts: you don't need to reboot. just restart gdm |
| YetiChick | K3rl0u4rn: Is this an audio CD? |
|
|
| defjux | [YES VIRGINIA THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS AND ITS NAME IS OPEN SOURCE] |
| mwe | sonictwin: yw |
| tts | ok thanks |
| sonictwin | tts, ctrl + alt + bkspc |
| K3rl0u4rn | YetiChick: no, a game |
| hamlet | tts: either press alt+ctrl+backspace (if you are in graphical mode) or "sudo /etc/init.d.gdm restart" or reboot the computer |
| mwe | It's funny. I'm almost positive ctrl-alt-bs doesn't reload the config for me. only sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart |
| ardchoille | /etc/init.d/gdm restart |
| mwe | at least last I messed with xorg.conf |
| YetiChick | K3rl0u4rn: Ugh. Not good. I'd probably try to repair the disc with a bufing tool rather than make a copy of that disc. You might be able to recover all of the files with a recovery tool, but if there's copy protection on the disc... |
| pitillo | may be I need to use ubuntu 64bits version with nforce400? |
| YetiChick | K3rl0u4rn: Wait... Is the disc damaged, or are you simply getting read errors trying to copy it? |
