| thiSparta | ikonia want tto mount a shared windows drive |
| eternaljoy | Kazz: go back to bed :) |
| kane77 | mpetersen, use update manager and uncheck the kernel.... |
| clearze1 | freelame: I would suggest getting to a second pc and ssh into the frozen system then run pstree and see what is running. I really couldn't tell you how to fix the problem without looking at the system while it was frozen. |
| ikonia | thiSparta: it means a package you want is refering to a package that no longer exists |
| Pelo | mpetersen, try asking in #ubuntu+1 |
| eternaljoy | Kazz: im not talkinf about SAME drive dude |
| mpetersen | kane77: from a command line? |
| ikonia | mpetersen: fesity is broke |
| kane77 | mpetersen, no the gui tool |
| idefix | eternaljoy: what kazz said |
| kazz | eternaljoy: If you already have Ubuntu installed, what idefix said about booting from the Live CD and installing Grub should work, otherwise hopefully there's an option in the installer to put it on another drive. If not, you should be able to skip the boot loader step and then boot from the Live CD and install it that way. |
| clearze1 | freelame:It could be a lot of things basicly |
| thiSparta | ikonia, any ideas of urls that may help ? |
| mpetersen | kane77: can I do it from the cli? |
| ajehuk | sgtmattbaker - just as a point though as to what you are trying to do - I do all my base backups in the same way (mostly for use in qemu) -= havent seen a problem yet... |
| Spee_Der | Hello. I'm back again. Hope all are well. |
| ikonia | thiSparta: urls for what ?? your missing a package - it doesn't exist |
| Derek_Russo | I have a really strange problem with dvd playback using gxine - the screen goes black randomly, for a few secodns |
|
|
| kane77 | mpetersen, i'd say yes, but I dont know how... |
| sgtmattbaker | ikonia: I guess I should have checked if it did that before I backed it up.. maybe the install didn't go right.. I did a full NTFS format with the live CD.. dangit I guess I am going to ##windows.. they probably won't even know what dd is |
| Derek_Russo | When I try ti play dvds with any other player, it says it doesn't recognize the dvd |
| mpetersen | ikonia: I want to upgrade (I'm partially there) using the latest working kernel. |
| syn_jet | Derek_Russo: do you have desktop-effects enabled? I had similar probs |
| ikonia | sgtmattbaker: why did you format the ntfs partition from ubuntu ?? |
| ajehuk | Derek_Russo - possibly a silly question - but are you on a single monitor machine? I've had the same issue when using multiple monitors |
| freelame | mmm |
| kazz | eternaljoy: You just aren't reading what I'm saying carefully enough...I just said that there shouldn't be a problem *if you did* install it on the same drive, I know you don't want to, but I was telling you that it shouldn't cause any problems and it would be easier. I then went on to say more about what you actually want to do, so please re-read what I said. ;) |
| ikonia | mpetersen: but the latest isn't available as other packages depend on it |
| Derek_Russo | syn_jet: what kind of desktop effects? |
| mpetersen | kane77: Thanks. I think I could possibly do it with apt-pinning, but I don't really know how. |
| ikonia | mpetersen: fesity is broke |
| eternaljoy | Kazz: go back to bed :) |
| sgtmattbaker | ikonia: I didn't.. the Windows installer CD did it |
| Derek_Russo | ajehuk: yes, single monitor |
| kazz | Alright, alright... |
| ectospasm | anyone have any experience with giFT? I can't for the life of me get any of the clients I've used (giFToxic and giFTui) to do anything. The searches return no hits, and I can't do anything else... |
| kingcobra | does anybody know a live cd that has good support for ntfs writing and sata hds or could you tel me where i should ask |
| ikonia | sgtmattbaker: ahh you said the livecd - I got confused |
| eternaljoy | Kazz: you are either tripping, or brain dead :) |
