its showing the same thing for a looong time.

 

[praka123]

try sudo iptables -F and update.

 

[MetalheadGautham]

OK, I forgot to tell, when I executed the lines indivudually(excluding the &&), I made it to the menu again. (I closed, reopened the terminal to do that)

But I still see no improvement. And yes, pulse audio responds in Audacious, so that means that nothing effective happened.

 

[MetalheadGautham]

bump

bump...

 

[praka123]

if u did all the steps,then i cant find anyreason for pulse audio be there.
BTW,to retain ESD,

sudo apt-get install esound esound-clients libesd-alsa0

and remove that "in.archive.ubuntu.com" to "archive.ubuntu.com" and then sudo apt-get update.for reference,below is my Gutsy Gibbon /etc/apt/sources.list

[praka123]

I use Debian Sid regularly and also install latest Ubuntu! no upgrades!(as i rarely uses ubuntu though it acts as a showpiece(compiz) for n00b linuxers )

Good, now help me on a newer project: I need to re-build my kernel, along with all the audio and video drivers. Please guide me. I am doing this because I am having problems with the graphics and the XV drivers.

 

[praka123]

head to *kernelnewbies.org then,check for changelogs on graphics drivers for some bugfixes or support for ur card.now for compiling kernel the debian way,debian/ubuntu carries "newbieguide" u can sudo apt-get install newbieguide.
if u want,*howtoforge.com also have guides!.if u want sound support for new cards,try getting alsa-source (1.0.15?) from Ubuntu repo(sudo apt-get install alsa-source) and compile the kernel with previous kernel's /boot/config-`uname -r` .use make menuconfig or make gconfig for menu for compiling.optimize processor options and other features.remove unwanted features*(beware without initram support and ext2/3 support built-in kernel,ur gonna have a kernel-panic with new kernel.with make-kpkg,if ur successfull,u'll get a linux-image2.6.x.deb
U can compile kernel easy,but make sure ur gcc version is the same as in /usr/src/kernel-source/Documentaion/Changes file.if u got gcc-4.x,sudo apt-get install gcc-3.x and symlink forcibly(ln -sf) to /usr/bin/gcc also u may like to have update-alternatives(CLI) or galternatives installed for ease!best of Lux!

^^unless you format your text, I will have to cancel my plan out of fear

Naya Questions:

1. Why can't I unmount windows partitions via right click unmount?
2. How can I disable automount of certain partitions?
3. How can I re-enable the same?
4. How do I install Kubuntu and Xubuntu in Ubuntu?
5. While installing Kaffine, I saw apt-get downloading KDE files. So does that mean I have KDE ?
6. Where can I buy Distro DVDs/CDs in bangalore With Artwork for a low cost?

 

[ray|raven]

1.Perhaps due to permissions.
Unmount needs root permissions to work AFAIK.

2.By removing the corresponding entry in /etc/fstab.

3.By adding the removed entry

4.Select KDE and Xfce for install in Synaptic.
You can then choose which environment to login to at the login screen under Session.

5.No.It means you have some dependencies of KDE needed for kaffiene to run.

6.If you find out, lemme know too

Regards,
ray

Naya Questions:

1. Why can't I unmount windows partitions via right click unmount?

perphas permission issues, try

chmod 755 <mount point>

2. How can I disable automount of certain partitions?
3. How can I re-enable the same?

remove & add their entry from /etc/fstab file

4. How do I install Kubuntu and Xubuntu in Ubuntu?

install KDE desktop

Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment​

5. While installing Kaffine, I saw apt-get downloading KDE files. So does that mean I have KDE ?

no it will install a few KDE libs, nessary for running Kaffine

 

[MetalheadGautham]

Is there a grapphical tool to handle mount/automount ? I mean one which asks you to enter root password then does stuff for you.

And as for the Distro Discs, I noticed that Linux For You had a version of the mag sans the discs and it costed Rs. 25 less. So will this mean(hopefully) that I can buy artworked distro discs for Rs. 25?

And I am concidering going for a Colour LightScribe DVD Writer to do the artworking(or use my friend's). How much does a LightScribe DVD cost in bangalore? Where can I buy pne?

 

[gary4gar]

well Udev & HAL does this job, but why you need the tool for it?
just Umount the vol when you wish, remove & reconnect to mount again

 

[MetalheadGautham]

Can someone give me a good explanation on using the terminal and navigating within it and doing basic actions like cut/paste, copy, move, creating directories, etc?

 

[praka123]

wikibooks may have some good intro book.
OK.download and read below pdf(is small!):
*vic.gedris.org/Manual-ShellIntro/1.2/ShellIntro.pdf
^very nice for any users.
Also,
*linux.org.mt/article/terminal

 

[MetalheadGautham]

OK, thanks.


Anyway, I still haven't figured out a good downloader software for linux. I need it to download RSTP, MMS, FTP and HTTPS links along with HTTP.

eMule, Metalink, Magnet Link, Bit Torrent and GNUtella support are also nice.

 

[praka123]

^gftp?,d4x ?
