Think Zen.
Another Problem:
I need a good download Manager for Linux.
By good I men excellent.
One that does not show 400 errors, 404 errors, for every download having a complex link.
One doesn't download php files instead of mp3 files, etc.
One that can handle huge downloads and not hang near the end of the download.
One that supports downloading from HTTP, RSTP, MMS, HTTPS and FTP.

I told you dude, try urlgfe.
Its not been updated for quite a while, but its the lightest and fastest d/l manager i've used.
And its got all the features u might need.
*urlget.sourceforge.net/

Regards,
ray

Pee into the Wind...
Hope nobody has a problem with me asking this here, but I am facing an issue with Gparted.It shows my entire hard disk as unallocated.This happened only after I created a separate /home partition.Now I wanna edit some partitions but I can't do it.:mad: Have tried both the LiveCD and normal installer in Ubuntu.
Any help.?

@shady:why gparted? "sudo apt-get install cfdisk" and do whatever u want!
even testdisk is not bad!

Hmm...I tried sudo cfdisk /dev/sda and got this:

--------------------------------------------------//--------------------------------
FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 6: enlarged logical partitions overlap
Press any key to exit cfdisk
--------------------------------------------------//--------------------------------
Lemme check testdisk.
 
@gautham:I found ur monitor's horizontal and vertical frequencies in a google cache of manufacturer's site:
*209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:PJUq...ac713.htm+Acer+AC713&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=in
and
*www.acernotebooks.co.uk/Acer_AC713_17_Inch_CRT_Screen_ES.C0408.010/version.asp
you have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf section "monitor" to look as below.if the system detected the frequencies,then fine.
Code:
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "AC713"
        HorizSync       [B][U]30.0-72.0[/U][/B]
        VertRefresh     [B][U]50.0-160.0[/U][/B]
        Option          "DPMS"
EndSection
save this and do a "sudo telinit 1" and when reached runlevel 1,press CTRL+D to have the system booting to normal.
always useful for hw detection if u install "read-edid" package.anyways,now u dont need as u got the details.

aah!download manager?the one i can say is wget in CLI :p or may be gwget.
and GTransferManager
Once again, I screwed up.
The login says Xorg won't load due to some problem(which I forgot) in the "Generic Monitor". I then logged in via commandline, and did

sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

then I went to the area I had edited and noticed one thing: the place you had asked me to make a change initially had "Generic Monitor" instead of AC713. And when the word was changed, the section below still had "Generic Monitor" in the monitor option. I guess this is the reason for the conflict.

I tried to change the value there, and did ctrl+s a couple of times, but I don't know how vi works. I restarted via the restart button, logged into windows, and now I am posting this.

So finally, I have this question:

1. How do I save in vi and how do I exit in vi ?

2. Should I change the "AC713" back to "generic monitor" ?

3. Will doing so result in once again my being able to boot graphically ?

4. I saw a line in xorg.conf in the begening instructions that said that a certain command whose name I forgot, will regenerate xorg.conf automatically. should I do it ?

another question: how do I boot via Damn Small Linux Live CD ? Does it directly load GUI ? What about Knoppix ? All I saw in knoppix was a bunch of options at the bottom of the screen. I am asking because I need to go live in order to rescue my system.

^dont regenarate the wrong xorg.conf by dexconf.

u shudve used nano for editing.and did u edited as "sudo vim"? u need to do this if u dont like to add sudo to every command.

when Ubuntu boots and finishes with that blue message stating X error,press CTRL+ALT+F1 to login with ur username and password.
now,
do:
"sudo su -"
now u'll get a "#" terminal or root terminal.
there u can edit with nano or vi(VIM)

you can edit as I suggested and save in nano(use nano -w filename) by pressing CTRL+O and CTRL+X.
In vi/vim,edit by pressing "i" and press ESC when finishes.then press ":" and type "wq" enter.thats it!


oh yes! and use whatever is in the place be it "generic monitor" etc.

u can fire up X in terminal after finished editing and exit.by running
in "#" prompt:
Code:
/etc/init.d/gdm restart

u can use below /etc/X11/xorg.conf supposing u use intel onboard gfx:
Code:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf(5) manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

^what is the use dude!u can copy the above xorg.conf and save as a .txt file in ur windows.then from ubuntu,u can mount the win partn and copy the xorg.conf or use "less /mount/xorg.conf.txt" u can view that!

also,for virtual terminal usage,GPM is very useful.make sure u apt-get install gpm and do a "dpkg-reconfigure gpm" with entering responsivness of mouse as "23" :p
 
now I am booting from linux. luckily, the mistake was rectified by changing "AC713" to "Generic Monitor"

Guess I have this small problem with duplicate entries in sources.list

use my sources.list(after removing everything in ur sources.list) and do a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"

negative. I use feisty, and your list is for gutsy.
But I guess I can manually remove multiple entries from the list.

and yes, the driver currently listed is "i810" instead of "intel" like yours. Should I edit that too and change it ?

And as far as what you said about my xorg.conf is concerned, here it is:
Code:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using

Think Zen.
Gutsy bundles intel commercial drivers, That's why it says "intel" instead of "i810".
AFAIK Feisty doesnt.

^no;not commercial driver.it is intel's beta mod-setting driver's which is used in Debian Sid which inturn is used in gutsy and hardy.
@gowtham:edit ur srcs.lst as per :
*ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#Manually_edit_sources.list
^for feisty/ and use "i810" as driver.
I though u where on gutsy :confused:

I am still lazy to install gutsy. When my feisty is perfect, why switch to gutsy ?
Besides, I need a software to automatically back up a list of all software/packages I have in feisty, to back up all files in the home directories, all in a CD or DVD, then after clean installing gutsy, restore them to their appropriate places. Any way to do that ?

Think Zen.
I dont think the packages will be compatible.
Gutsy and Feisty might be using different versions of libraries,
like GTK+ etc.
Best you make a list and download versions for gutsy.
And yeah you're right, Its hard to upgrade when you got everything set up like you want it.
Thats the reason,I'm still postponing my upgrade too.
I'm still on Zenwalk 4.6 while latest release is 5.0 :p
Not much of a problem with apps as i compile most of em ;)

@gautham...

havent gone thru all post cos lack of time, if ur still middling with display problem try this one if havent done this method earlier
boot in CLI as root or switch to tty
Code:
 Xorg -configure
Code:
 Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new
this would display blank grey screen.... now press ctrl+alt+backspace
Code:
 cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
reboot
 
I have some problems with torrents on my machine - They are Damn Slow. Here is the intro:

I have Deluge and Azherus along with BitTorrent(the default thing).
I think I am going to get rid of the last two.

I have lokkit for firewall configuration. Any basic operations tut will be welcome. And I also installed gnome-lokkit, but it doesn't work. Any other GUI other than Gnome-Lokkit or the ncurses-lokkit ?

I have Clam-Tk, but I think it somehow screwed up. I can't scan files, as it asks me to update database, but when I try it, I get no effect. So I need a better frontendfor Clam-AV. Also, Clam-Tk's shortcut in applications menu was accidently deleted, and I forgot its launch code. Can anyone tell me ? And does Avast Linux version have an advantage over Clam AV ? I need a scanner that can effectively scan my open ports, and I need maximum security there, as I intend to make my system as hack proof as possible.

I have heard of several problems in WindowsXP, which make it bad for downloads from P2P by default. Are there similar problems in Ubuntu 7.04 ? Because I am getting a similar speed in both Ubuntu 7.04 and WindowsXP.

And none of the download managers the users here have suggested have the Reliability and Versatility of FlashGet. For an OS mainly popular in Servers, this is indeed surprising and rather annoying.

first do a "sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome-lokkit libgtk1.2"
remember the golden rule "Dont install gtk1.2 old libs in ur distro" `coz it is buggy ;)

and as for torrents,didja have the connection in bridge mode?ie,where u dials from Ubuntu to connect to broadband?(pon dsl-provider)

PS: and thanks for that link to linuxtracker on another thread. I used it to download Parted Magic 2.0 CD, which my friend wanted, and I can say that my torrents DO have high speeds. I can download it @ 181 kbps.

and yes, azureus still crashes

@gowtham:as for azureus,remove
rm -rf ~/.azureus directory as the option.

and btw,this is in BTS of ubuntu:
*bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/azureus/+bug/71220

read through the comments for some idea.
BTW,
I am using Azureus 3.xxx which is downloaded,extracted to /usr/local/ directory.
reconfigured it to remove the vuze cr@p to look like 2.5.xx look.
It works better without crashing I'll say :)

but in uptodate Ubuntu gutsy,audacity uses gtk2 :confused: see the deps:
libwxbase2.6-0 libwxgtk2.6-0
also if ur adventarous,u can compile Audacity gtk2 and install in ur feisty else try for a backport of audacity gtk2 version.
personally I dont like gtk1.2 menace as it is inconsistent and frequently crashes. :evil:
