bottomline is, screw windows man!!!

eset flagged an "infiltration" in the yf .jar archive. now when it does not call it a virus or an infection, trojan etc but an INFILTRATION am gonna sue somebody!!

i take it ur using a corporate connection and you require a username and password for the proxy?

i dont think 10.04 needs you to manually edit bash.rc anymore!!!
that used to be a bug that was cured in 9.10


why not just use the gui's instead. take it from the top.

remove the proxies u have set anywhere and everywhere.
run "unset http_proxy"

restart the pc. try to verify if all your apps are no longer going thru that proxy. then set the general proxy in network proxy and synaptic proxy in synaptic too. they both now have places to input username and password if required.


lets try that and see before we start doing kung-fu. this bug is really old, i was battling with it in 9.04

eeyah, i dey wonder na, say i nor dey see my main guy online.

pele o, get well soon!!!. infact 1 yellow orobo sisi for v3 courtesy of otunba 4llerbuntu, to help with the recuperation!

Fix your grub2 after Windows (Ubuntu installed 1st) installation for dual or multi boot with Ubuntu:

Tool required:
Live CD Ubuntu

Procedure:

* Boot using your live CD


* Select " Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer "
* Once you've login to desktop run Terminal ( Application > Accessories > Terminal )


* Change to root, using this [enter only red lines] command in Terminal:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo -i
root@ubuntu:~#

* Find partition location of your Ubuntu:

root@ubuntu:~# fdisk -l

example output:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x10031003

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 6374 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 6375 19457 105089197+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 6375 11473 40957686 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda6 11474 19457 64131448+ 83 Linux <--- Here


* Create mount-point for ubuntu's partition

root@ubuntu:~# mkdir /media/root

* Mount the partition using this line:

root@ubuntu:~# mount /dev/sda6 /media/root

* Confirm your root location by typing this line:

root@ubuntu:~# ls /media/root

example output
bin dev initrd.img lib32 media proc selinux tmp vmlinuz
boot etc initrd.img.old lib64 mnt root srv usr vmlinuz.old
cdrom home lib lost+found opt sbin sys var


if those line above appear, you may proceed by installing GRUB 2:

root@ubuntu:~# sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda

it should give no error messages!!

* Reboot your system! remove the livecd!!!


No Windows ?
No worries,

* Boot to your ubuntu
* Run Terminal to update GRUB2 so that grub able to identify mount-point location for Windows. This can be done by typing this command in Terminal:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo update-grub2
[sudo] password for ubuntu:

example output:
Generating grub.cfg ,
Found Debian background: apollo.tga
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-15-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-15-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
done

Try reboot again & you should be able to see Windows at Grub menu.

the livecd not loading? thats not possible unless ur cd drive is bad, or RAM is bad or the livecd itself!!

unless there is something else wrong. does your windows partition work fine? if it does, no problem get this software:   http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/files/Ext2read%20Version%202.2%20%28Latest%29/ext2explore-2.2.71.zip/download

unzip it and use. it does not install, just make sure if you are on vista or win7 right click on it and run as administrator. it will enable u view and copy out files from EXT partitions. copy out your files into the windows partition.

then u may re-install ubuntu.

NB, try testing the cd for defects!!


then i think maybe we should put up a grub repair how-to permanently

hmmnn, funny thing is i got this too and was telling someone yesterdaybut he did'nt believe me!! 3 days now totally free

@ willy u said u repaired grub? which release and how did u carry out the repair. seems u didnt specify the partitions properly

lets know so we can do a walkthru to do a fresh repair or grub2 ni presume?

LWKMD!!!!

i tire o, for one there is no such software as he is trying to sell,
2. here ur better off with low quality streams, High quality ones will simply frustrate you.

plus u need a guaranteed 120/40 kbps bandwidth to stream at low quality at the very least with little variation or fluctuations. this is live Tv. not cached flash!!

yeah its all good , lets move on!!

in other news please i need people to join me and sign a petition to the NCC. a thousand signatures will do!
what are we protesting? the scarcity of cooking pots and pans and plates!!! we now have to eat with plastic!!!

our basis for protest= there has been a sharp increase in the use of all the available pans for FTA dishes!! 1 4m dish can produce close to 120 big sized pots instead!! this is contributing to hunger and malnourishment in our society!!!

the NCC should step in to make sure that the FTA pple have a quota, and that pple that already have gargantuan dishes be made to donate part of the dish to the pot making coys like Tower Aluminium to help combat hunger!!!


pls signify ur assent so i can fax the petition to you!!

nah, well not from me sha.

and get used to these funny fact: 10.04 is past news, 10.10 is dropping in 3 days, and THAT will be the new flavor here, at least for a freak like me!!

i intend to start pulling the DVD and not cd from 10.10, so help me God!! so maybe in like 6 days time i shld have a 10.10 DVD

for packages, well even the DVD has only main and restricted repos o, not everything but at least with that u can get up with no wahala.

u may otherwise try to get someone who has a lot of apps to make u an APTONCD disc with the packages!!

@ puskin u get LR?

and pls wetin be super tunnel again? this men sha!! na wah o!!
next time una fill form and they ask occupation: make sure u write FBT!!!! else u will be a liar and all liars go to . . . . . . . . . . .

lol, am not spitting fire ooooooooooooooo!!!!!

i have already asked him for help with nilesat b4(enquiries to cross check what one sat installer told me) the sizes of those dishes sef dey amaze me at times!!

if im not mistaken this should be the same firmware that comes with the modem from mtn.
i earlier upgraded to E160 firmware, but decided to downgrade back.

i had erroneously changed the dashboard b4, so im stuck with this one

the movie i saw on bollywood dis nite was english speaking!!!

sub-wetin? which kain grammer be dis one na? guy talk Yoruba Yoruba o, u wan use all the money i pay for english grammer finish in one day?

pple who love indian stuff really dont even look for subtitles nah i remember back in the days of amitabh bachan we never looked for subtitles

anyway i agree sha, i for one dont see the need for those chinese channels (maybe they are for their pple here sha ) some of the stations can go

Cmusic especially, those chink stations, not stv o, i like one dumb comedy like dat on stv

they truly need a movie station, maybe MBC will be fine at the very least, Disc Engineering had MBC

@ 2legit,,  sure , i dont, havent paid anyone for  it in a while, except the occasional flushes of guilt i get which i then take away promptly by dashing em 500 bucks

i was just using the internet reference as an analogy, i was saying that the FTA proponents view was tantamount to me also coming out with a statement like "evryone that pays for internet is lazy bla bla bla simply cuz i use it free"

at least since they say that evryone who uses paytv is a lazy no-good arse with too much money to give away!!!

anyway, u can trust me to have dumped the discussion promptly, when someone keeps saying the same thing despite contrary views, he is never gonna change!!!!
if they think they are smartest, hardworking jocks,, so be it!!! is not my papa bizness na, and i nor borrow money from dem.

funny thing is, the FTA thing i could do (in anor world when i have more free time and my own house) so am not really condemning it totally or even at all, i just take exception to those sweeping assertions
