[03:20] <odyssevs> troughton, probably broadcom43... becoming quite common. Of course they don't release bloody details about their chips so it's all based on reverse engineering. Let me square you up with a good place to begin..
[03:20] <gandolfthewizard> anyone here to help
[03:20] <Zico> during install alt-f2 -> console.. how to tell installation to skip current package?
[03:20] <troughton> ok thanks odyssevs
[03:21] <odyssevs> http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_alles.php is a good general page for finding all wifi driver info for Linux.
[03:21] <THX-1138> troughton - if you see "cafuego" - he was nice enough to post something on his site. i trust him he has been here for years. - though there are other ways to do it.
[03:21] <ubuntubob> troughton,
[03:21] <JB_> Any Ubuntu Developer online?
[03:21] <ubuntubob> google madwifi too, thats pretty good
[03:21] <odyssevs> Go there and select the specific card you're using. If it is the one I suspect, broadcom43 (bcm43*) then you'll want http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
[03:21] <gandolfthewizard> hi all i don't understand why my ubuntu freezes when i go to make it a perminate install on my laptop
[03:22] <Zico> Installation stopped at "Installing the kernel - retrieving and installing usplash..." how to skip this to continue installation?
[03:22] <THX-1138> gandolfthewizard - were you able to find inything in /var/log ?
[03:23] <gandolfthewizard> i am new to linux so i have no idea
[03:23] <blenderx> OK! found it!
[03:23] <blenderx> Thanks scifi!
[03:23] <scifi> blenderx: netime
[03:23] <blenderx> Alright, it's 21Mb + dependencies and all...
[03:23] <THX-1138> gandolfthewizard: Me too. - that is about all i know is where to look. with more info someone will help.
[03:24] <gandolfthewizard> i thought it might have been my mem so i downloaded and burnt the other iso for computers under 198 and that says that it had corrupted files?
[03:24] <blenderx> That's too much for my 256 kbps ADSL connection...
[03:24] <scifi> blenderx: but that wont necessarily fix ur ethernet problem.
[03:24] <[BTF] Chm0d> anyone here running a nvidia video card?
[03:24] <scifi> why ?
[03:24] <THX-1138> gandolfthewizard: a torrent?
[03:24] <blenderx> I think I'm going to plug my old Realtek ethernet card and try it first..
[03:24] <[BTF] Chm0d> if so can they do a glxinfo and tell me if direct rendering says yes or no?
[03:25] <THX-1138> glxinfo |grep direct
[03:25] <gandolfthewizard> well it will run off the cd but as soon as i try to install the install it will freeze when it gets to the language opptions i am able to click ok but then it freezes
[03:25] <prdgy> can anyone post a link that describes how the login process works (i tried google)
[03:25] <blenderx> So here is my opinion about my first day under ubuntu: fedora does really offer a better h/w support.
[03:25] <odyssevs> blenderx, don't be silly.. 256 kbs is plenty of speed for 21 MB.
[03:25] <[BTF] Chm0d> yes i know that THX-1138 i just want to know what others have mine says no
[03:25] <gandolfthewizard> torrent?
[03:25] <blenderx> odyssevs, haha 256kbps and you're not in Tunisia !
[03:25] <blenderx> :)
[03:26] <IRC_> ubuntubob: ok i installed the w32codecs. what do i do to get them to play in totem?
[03:26] <THX-1138> gandolfthewizard: hm, not sure what is happening. maybe the system is bootable from there?
[03:26] <odyssevs> blenderx, my condolences on your location man.. it's a rough place.
[03:26] <fulhack> Hey.. How can I antialias fonts on webpages in firefox? The fonts in menus, title bar, etc are great, but the fonts on the actual websites look crappy. Help?
[03:26] <gandolfthewizard> i have the cd coming so i hope that the cd will be better
[03:26] <blenderx> FYI, Tunisia is a nice small country located in the top of Africa
[03:26] <THX-1138> [BTF] Chm0d: Do you have the DRI module loaded in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[03:26] <odyssevs> blenderx, know it well. Horrible place to be.
[03:26] <blenderx> just below Italy
[03:27] <blenderx> odyssevs, how come?
[03:27] <blenderx> :)
[03:27] <odyssevs> They're a funny bunch in North Africa.. they don't handle tips (ahem) so well as the folks down South.
[03:27] <THX-1138> gandolfthewizard: Okay, sounds good. - would of been nice to be up and running this morning.
[03:27] <cpl-tnt44> a quastion : im now installing ubuntu on an old laptop PIII 500 compaq , its installing very slow , can i install it on my amd desktop computer fully and move the HDD back to the laptop and it all works fine ?
[03:27] <[BTF] Chm0d> hmm i dont believe i do THX-1138
[03:27] <[BTF] Chm0d> no i dont
[03:27] <odyssevs> Hell of a lot of poverty there, very evident poverty. It was quite distressing.
[03:27] <IRC_> ubuntubob: what do i do after i install the w32codecs? how do i get them into totem and firefox?
[03:27] <Skylabs> hi, i need to add usbnet to /etc/modules and i'm new in linux world ...what should exactly do or where i must go please ?
[03:28] <blenderx> odyssevs, not in every place actually...
[03:28] <gandolfthewizard> yeah i have been trying for the last two days and i just have no idea how come it is doing it i was running windows xp on it but i just can't get ubuntu to run on it
[03:28] <odyssevs> blenderx, oh, you're a cut above the rest I see =)
[03:28] <odyssevs> Skylabs no modprobe in Ubuntu?
[03:28] <blenderx> odyssevs, not really :)
[03:28] <odyssevs> Or depmod?
[03:28] <cpl-tnt44> blend ?
[03:28] <cpl-tnt44> a quastion : im now installing ubuntu on an old laptop PIII 500 compaq , its installing very slow , can i install it on my amd desktop computer fully and move the HDD back to the laptop and it all works fine ?
[03:28] <blenderx> Alright,
[03:28] <THX-1138> cpl-tnt44: Yes,  similar trouble here with my favorite lappy. only 128mbs of ram. - my desktop currently shows 300mbs used. - i would guess there is a lot of disk swapping.
[03:29] <|Danielle|> Nace una nueva red IRC: irc.ubuntuzone.org . Para conectarte: irc.ubuntuzone.org puerto 6668
[03:29] <odyssevs> cpl-tnt44, no.

[03:29] <Skylabs> odyssevs yes in ubuntu
[03:29] <blenderx> so, I'm going to test my old card on my new Ubuntu setup, I'll be back later..
[03:29] <odyssevs> blenderx, wait.
[03:29] <odyssevs> You having the same problem I had?
[03:29] <blenderx> which one?
[03:29] <tyuio> yes you can use wine to run linux apps
[03:29] <cpl-tnt44> THX-1138 , thank u ! in what stage of the installation u did the swap back to the laptop ?
[03:29] <tyuio> i mean windows apps
[03:29] <blenderx> VIA-rhine not working?
[03:29] <THX-1138> gandolfthewizard: WINE is good and free Cedega is $5 pm and free if you don't mind compiling it from source
[03:30] <odyssevs> Well I'm a secretive fellow, don't like showing my cards - what's yours? IRQ conflict?
[03:30] <blenderx> probably..
[03:30] <odyssevs> I had the same warning earlier. Ignored it.
[03:30] <blenderx> I tried w/ noapic, acpi=noirq
[03:30] <gandolfthewizard> i just wish i could get my laptop up and running today that is all
[03:30] <blenderx> and NOTHING...
[03:30] <Skylabs> Anyone can help me with USB cable modem connection with Ubuntu please?
[03:30] <gandolfthewizard> i'll try burning the cd at a slower speed
[03:30] <odyssevs> Does swapping the slot make a difference?
[03:30] <THX-1138> !usb
[03:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:30] <blenderx> odyssevs, any idea?
[03:30] <odyssevs> gandolfthewizard, or buy a better quality CDR.
[03:30] <cpl-tnt44> THX-1138 , thank u ! in what stage of the installation u did the swap back to the laptop ?
[03:31] <THX-1138> !ubou you are an amnesiac
[03:31] <odyssevs> blenderx, no, but linuxhelp on undernet might know.
[03:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubou you are an amnesiac - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:31] <odyssevs> In fact I'll guarantee they'll know.
[03:31] <blenderx> odyssevs, it's a built-in card actually inside the southbridge chipset...
[03:31] <gandolfthewizard> i have a dvd burner and i use maxwell
[03:31] <odyssevs> Well then, no conflict.
[03:31] <odyssevs> Ubuntu not picking the right module for it?
[03:32] <blenderx> odyssevs, my VIA-rhine used to be supported on all the Linux flavors (sure, it's a kernel driver) but only on Ubuntu..
[03:32] <THX-1138> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-37252.html usb modems
[03:32] <blenderx> odyssevs, no not really, I get via_rhine loaded,
[03:32] <cpl-tnt44> any one has a guide operating internet explorer 5 or a web browser build on the same engine on ubuntu ?
[03:32] <gandolfthewizard> what is a good burn speed for iso?
[03:32] <blenderx> but then it says that it fails probing the device and returns w/ error -5.
[03:32] <cpl-tnt44> x24
[03:32] <blenderx> odyssevs, I get this message:
[03:33] <scifi> how do i start the mysql server ?
[03:33] <THX-1138> cpl-tnt44: Checkout ie4linux - haven't tried it but is mentioned ofte in #winehq
[03:33] <odyssevs> gandolfthewizard, whatever the drive/CD will take =)
[03:33] <cpl-tnt44> gandolfthewizard , x24 and down are the optimal speeds

[03:35] <cpl-tnt44> THX-1138 , an other problem running x32 bit application on linux ?

[03:35] <xuburman> hi
[03:35] <blenderx> odyssevs, any idea?
[03:35] <xuburman> i have problems with my freaking audio
[03:35] <odyssevs> That gandolf bloek wasn't trying to load a i386 build on a mac was he?!
[03:35] <xuburman> someone wanna help me pls
[03:35] <scifi> how do i start the mysql server ?
[03:35] <odyssevs> blenderx, asking a few buddies, standby.
[03:35] <THX-1138> cpl-tnt44: Did you mean you have a 64bit system?
[03:35] <elkbuntu> vm, is that all you came here to say, or was that a typo?
[03:35] <odyssevs> scifi, really, don't you think reading the manual is a basic requirement at your stage?
[03:35] <cpl-tnt44> THX-1138 , no 32 bit ... win xp sp2 application and sort of like...
[03:35] <blenderx> thanks!
[03:36] <xuburman> anyone pls
[03:36] <vm> elkbuntu - i forgot "/", sorry
[03:36] <xuburman> HELP I GOT PROBLEMS WIHT MY AUDIO ATI IXP OF ALSA OR OSS
[03:36] <xuburman> pls help
[03:36] <odyssevs> xuburman, well mate, if ALSA doesn't work use OSS =)
[03:36] <elkbuntu> vm, thats fine. just checking you're human ;)
[03:36] <kzt> xuburman, it will help if you can describe your problem first.
[03:36] <cpl-tnt44> THX-1138 , i have for an exsample a stockmarket program and i wanna install it on ubuntu there must be some sort of emulator
[03:36] <odyssevs> OSS is better anyway. Nicer sounds.
[03:36] <THX-1138> cpl-tnt44: The more the application depends on directx or has a cd copy protection $ scheme the less likely it is to work with a single click.
[03:37] <xuburman> I try to play audio cd on XMMS XINE MPLAYER but it wont load
[03:37] <scifi> odyssevs: u mean "man mysql" or the mysql manual on the website that only shows windows procedures ?
[03:37] <cpl-tnt44> its a simple graph program ..
[03:37] <xuburman> kzt:  I try to play audio cd on XMMS XINE MPLAYER but it wont load
[03:37] <THX-1138> cpl-tnt44: hm - sounds like it should be easier than half-life with steam. - half-life works,
[03:38] <odyssevs> scifi, does mysql put something into /etc/init.d/ ?
[03:38] <kzt> xuburman, how about the system sounds? do you hear them? is it just the audio cd?
[03:38] <cpl-tnt44> THX-1138 , there isnt an emulator for running windows application ? i know there is an emulator running linux apps , so it must be going 2 ways aint it ?
[03:38] <odyssevs> cpl-tnt44, wine ?
[03:38] <THX-1138> So does World of Warcaft. - Does anyone have a link to 12step meeting for warcraft addiction?
[03:38] <odyssevs> (Not technically an emulator though).
[03:38] <scifi> odyssevs: yes, 3 different mysql related folders
[03:39] <blenderx> odyssevs, OSS is dead!
[03:39] <odyssevs> THX-1138, it's easier if you go to Finland, develop a sex addiction and join SLAA.
[03:39] <scifi> odyssevs: i mean files
[03:39] <odyssevs> blenderx, seriously? Jeez.. I used to run OSS very nicely. Many moons ago.
[03:39] <blenderx> always use ALSA + OSS emulation
[03:39] <blenderx> :)
[03:39] <THX-1138> cpl-tnt44: I use Cedega and WINE to run games. (mostly)
[03:40] <mich> can someone plz helpp me
[03:40] <JB_> Give it any backports for dapper with Apache2.2 ???

[03:43] <scifi> odyssevs: ive tried "etc/init.d/mysql --console" but says no file or directory
[03:43] <odyssevs> Paddy, I see. Either way you cut it, you are under the jurisdiction of the EU.
[03:43] <odyssevs> scifi, how about trying a mysql channel?
[03:43] <mich> well this computer (running windows) is working on the router

[03:51] <Teoma> hi, can anyone help me change resolution using keystrokes only? I have Ubuntu running in a Virtual machine on WinXP and its running at 1600x900 @ 8 bit and I cant read a thing so cant use the mouse :)
[03:51] <THX-1138> davin - sounds a bit odd. no trouble like that here. - *maybe* install xlibs??
[03:52] <mich> idk how do i check
[03:52] <mich> ?
[03:52] <odyssevs> Paddy, never used it.. first day using Ubuntu.
[03:52] <odyssevs> mich, ifconfig ethX
[03:52] <CETBOR> is there way i can turn permission denied off?
[03:52] <odyssevs> X should be 0 if you have only one ethernet card plugged in.
[03:52] <Chousuke> hmm?
[03:52] <CETBOR> when i want to chmod, create, and etc
[03:52] <mich> in console?
[03:52] <davin> THX-1138: It tells me 'xlibs does not exist, but the follow packages replace it: libxftl xkeyboard-config'
[03:52] <odyssevs> yep
[03:52] <davin> THX-1138: No installable candidate

[03:53] <THX-1138> CETBOR: sudo
[03:53] <THX-1138> !rootsudo
[03:53] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:53] <Chousuke> CETBOR: you need to have access to the directory you're writing to. :P
[03:53] <odyssevs> Gnome does gobble up the juice alright.
[03:53] <CETBOR> why sudo?
[03:53] <fredl> is it normal that 'gnome-panel' eats up 14M RSS?
[03:53] <CETBOR> what sudo standard for?
[03:53] <odyssevs> do what super user can do
[03:53] <davin> THX-1138: libxftl does not exist, I have xkeyboard-config
[03:53] <THX-1138> davin - I don't know. - maybe there is help in #cedega
[03:53] <ponzo> Does anyone know anything about this problem?
[03:53] <Chousuke> switch-user do I think
[03:53] <CETBOR> ahhh thanks
[03:53] <Chousuke> sudo defaults to root though.
[03:53] <CETBOR> interesting
[03:54] <Chousuke> which is the superusers.
[03:54] <Chousuke> -s
[03:54] <odyssevs> ponzo, probably refers to FixedSys font.

[03:57] <CETBOR> need to find the administrator to set it full permission for anything?
[03:57] <xored> how to check, wheater an ethernet card is 10mbit or 100 mbit ?
[03:58] <davin> THX-1138: I thought it read 'libxftl' or 'libxtf1' but it was 'libxft1'
[03:58] <odyssevs> If you haev no icon beside the clock, then right click My Network Places (desktop), properties, rightclick LAN in use and properties.
[03:58] <odyssevs> Then "show icon on tray" etc.

[04:02] <odyssevs> Oh thought you only had a font problem? Is that the only error reported?

[04:04] <ponzo> xuburma1: You can install .deb -packages with dpkg -i package.deb
[04:04] <odyssevs> Mich, I had that earlier. First thing to try, ifdown eth0
[04:05] <odyssevs> then route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS> eth0
[04:05] <[BTF] Chm0d> may my problem be that I dont have an ld.so.conf?
[04:05] <odyssevs> then ifup eth0
[04:05] <odyssevs> ubuntubob, never.
[04:05] <mich> so what do i put in ?
[04:05] <ubuntubob> bugger
[04:05] <odyssevs> bring the card down: ifdown eth0
[04:05] <odyssevs> make the default gateway the correct ip: route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS> eth0
[04:05] <odyssevs> bring the card up: ifup eth0
[04:06] <odyssevs> if that doesn't work (and it didn't in my case), go into System > Administration > Networking and put the numbers in as though you're receiving a static IP.
[04:06] <xuburma1> ponzo:  can i install alien so that i can install rpm with synaptics??????????????????????
[04:06] <davin> THX-1138: lol, I used alien to convert a RedHat rpm of cedega and it actually works

[04:08] <mich> ?
[04:08] <blenderx> odyssevs, so officially, there is a problem w/ VIA rhine ethernet devices on Ubuntu..
[04:08] <odyssevs> select the Ethernet connection in the window, then hit properties.
[04:09] <odyssevs> obviously the box enabling that connection will be ticked... below you'll see configuration, change it to static IP and add in the details.
[04:09] <blenderx> done!
[04:09] <odyssevs> IP address.. you'll have to guess it, go for <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:09] <odyssevs> and you know the rest.
[04:09] <odyssevs> then do.. ifdown eth0, ifup eth0
[04:10] <blenderx> Alright, I'm going to shutdown this machine, I'll be back using my ubuntu box.
[04:10] <gh0st> how can i know if iuse totem-gstreamer or totem-xine in totem, where are the multimediea settings in ubuntu?
[04:10] <odyssevs> blenderx, jolly good.
[04:10] <mich> gateway <IP_ADDRESS>?
[04:10] <odyssevs> yup
[04:10] <erUSUL> gh0st: check which one you have instaled they are mutually exclusive you can't have both instaled
[04:11] <odyssevs> Don't ask me why, but I had the same problem earlier.. the route add command didn't work and leaving it on dhcp didn't work. Static did work.
[04:11] <gh0st> where are the multimediea settings in ubuntu?
[04:11] <ComputinChuck> i've got some headers that i just installed from an ubuntu package (they went into /usr/include), but g++ can't find them.  is there a header search path variable?  or do I have to update anything?

[04:39] <Squaredge> hi all
[04:40] <cpl-tnt44> odyssevs , 5
[04:40] <odyssevs> Atheros chipset?
[04:40] <odyssevs> It's a .11b right?
[04:40] <Squaredge> i have a problem with mercury, can you help me ?
[04:40] <odyssevs> There were two 650+s, the man:168c dev:0013 works, the other doesn't.
[04:41] <michael> Hello all, I'm having a problem activating my on-board ethernet card, a Via Rhine II.
[04:41] <odyssevs> If it's the Atheros chipset then you're fine.
[04:41] <Beryl> can someone help me out with beryl?
[04:41] <cpl-tnt44> odyssevs , DWL-650+ thats all
[04:41] <POVaddct> odyssevs: 11b is probably not atheros
[04:41] <odyssevs> michael, a guy was in here earlier reporting that to be a problem.
[04:41] <odyssevs> http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_part.php?brandname=D-Link says it is, POVaddct.
[04:41] <porkpie> hi what is the kernel name for the amd64 server iso
[04:41] <POVaddct> odyssevs: dwl-g650 is
[04:42] <michael> Was there a solution to the problem?
[04:42] <keebler> Whats the best wireless USB stick to use under Ubuntu?
[04:42] <odyssevs>  802.11b 	 DWL-650+ 	 man:168c dev:0013 	 Cardbus 	 Atheros 	 Mad WiFi 	 green  	 version A1 works; driver available at: http://madwifi.org
[04:42] <odyssevs> (green is that site's code for meaning it works fine under Linux.)
[04:42] <cpl-tnt44> got it ...
[04:42] <cpl-tnt44> so what do i need to do now to make it work ?
[04:42] <odyssevs> michael, the bloke in question used a separate NIC to solve it.
[04:43] <odyssevs> cpl-tnt44, ndiswrapper.
[04:43] <michael> Blech, I've no more room for another NIC.
[04:43] <POVaddct> odyssevs: then this .nl site is telling b*llsh*t. the dwl-650+ has a TI chipset
[04:43] <odyssevs> POV, there are two 650+s. One has TI, the other has Atheros.
[04:44] <cpl-tnt44> ndiswrapper ? talk english
[04:44] <POVaddct> odyssevs: ah okay. i have a dwl-g650 rev c.1 here, that is definitely atheros
[04:44] <odyssevs> If his has the TI he can go buy another card.
[04:44] <michael> Ndiswrapper comes source only though :\
[04:44] <michael> Works perfectly, however.
[04:44] <Alakazam_> frostwire rocks
[04:44] <mich12> i think i need 2 go back to windows =(
[04:44] <Alakazam_> noooooooooooo mich
[04:44] <Alakazam_> i'll help you
[04:44] <POVaddct> odyssevs: while the dwl-g650 rev a.1 is prism54 based
[04:44] <Alakazam_> whats up
[04:44] <odyssevs> ndiswrapper not standard in Ubuntu!?!!
[04:44] <odyssevs> Christ this distro needs a serious overhaulling.
[04:45] <mich12> internet is fucked!
[04:45] <odyssevs> POV, Information I'm working on is at http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_part.php?brandname=D-Link
[04:45] <cpl-tnt44> odyssevs ,i have anather card , netgear one ...
[04:45] <POVaddct> michael: ndiswrapper is in ubuntu
[04:45] <Squaredge> i have a problem with mercury, can someone help me ?
[04:45] <michael> Pardon, I'm a previous Slackie, which on some PC's I installed it on required it
[04:45] <mich12> i tryed it now to fix it for 2-3hours
[04:45] <lupine_85> if I have a .mkv file(MPEG4 vid, 2 audio tracks, 2 subtitle tracks), what's the easiest way to turn it into a DVD? All the current instructions seem to revolve around .avi files, for some unknown reason... :(
[04:45] <odyssevs> Where's ndiswrapper, POV? I'm trying to do my first wifi myself actually.
[04:46] <POVaddct> cpl-tnt44: the brand is totally unimportant, you need to know the chipset
[04:46] <Alakazam_> mich
[04:46] <mich12> yes
[04:46] <POVaddct> odyssevs: it is installed by default in ubuntu
[04:46] <odyssevs> says command not found
[04:46] <lupine_85> !dvd

[04:47] <odyssevs> Is there a secret I'm the wrong side of?
[04:47] <cpl-tnt44> odyssevs , ok chipset ... and what ?
[04:47] <POVaddct> odyssevs: i thought ndiswrapper is a kernel module?
[04:47] <POVaddct> odyssevs: not a command
[04:47] <odyssevs> Which model number is the netgear?
[04:47] <blenderx> Hi!
[04:47] <odyssevs> POV, er, I've seen it as a command in other distros..
[04:47] <odyssevs> Hell, if it's compiled you get a command line.
[04:47] <mich12> why can't ubuntu be easy...?
[04:48] <POVaddct> odyssevs: i don't use ndiswrapper anyway, i use cards that run native on linux
[04:48] <odyssevs> Mich, try Debian if you want easy. =)))
[04:48] <blenderx> Yay!
[04:48] <cpl-tnt44> odyssevs , let it go for now ... i installed a netgear , power on ...
[04:48] <POVaddct> odyssevs: namely atheros (madwifi) and ralink (rt2570)
[04:48] <mich12> dedian>?
[04:48] <odyssevs> michael, the bloke in question has arrived - blenderx, you can consult with him over the VIA_Rhine.
[04:48] <cpl-tnt44> odyssevs , now how do i input the WEP codes ?
[04:48] <mich12> what that
[04:48] <michael> Thanks.
[04:48] <xjonex>  /join #ubuntu-fi
[04:49] <odyssevs> cpl-tnt44, POV is your man for that.
[04:49] <xjonex>  /join #xubuntu
[04:49] <cpl-tnt44> ok , POV ! , where do i input the WEP codes ?
[04:49] <xjonex>  /join #ubuntuforums
[04:49] <POVaddct> cpl-tnt44: before entering WEP keys, make sure the card is working at all
[04:49] <cpl-tnt44> how i do that ?
[04:50] <blag> Need ideas of new nick :) /q me please!
[04:50] <cpl-tnt44> POV , i see power on ...
[04:50] <blenderx> Yep, I had to plug another ethernet card to get TCP/IP. VIA rhine isn't really supported.
[04:50] <michael> blenderx, did you solve the VIA Rhine II problem?
[04:50] <michael> nm
[04:50] <michael> Craaaap
[04:50] <mich12> u ppl just don't speak englsih to me
[04:50] <blenderx> michael, no
[04:50] <tk> THX-1138: didnt quite work... manage to get X running with the modified config, but no display differences :(
[04:50] <POVaddct> cpl-tnt44: does "sudo iwlist scan" return any results?
[04:50] <michael> Dangit... I was looking forward to ICS ><
[04:50] <blenderx> michael, I plugged another ethernet card!
[04:51] <blenderx> :)
[04:51] <rkd> mich12: debian's the system ubuntu is based on
[04:51] <michael> I'ave no more room for an ethernet card
[04:51] <cpl-tnt44> POv , where i put it in ?
[04:51] <cpl-tnt44> terminal ?
[04:51] <odyssevs> Is the broadcom43 supported on Ubuntu, or do I have to go fishing with ndiswrapper?
[04:51] <POVaddct> cpl-tnt44: yes
[04:51] <cpl-tnt44> sec
[04:51] <POVaddct> cpl-tnt44: and dont paste the output here
[04:51] <blenderx> michael, I got the kernel complaining at boot time about the VIA rhine thing
[04:52] <blenderx> it says: (through dmesg)
[04:52] <michael> blenderx, Let me check my own dmesg output
[04:52] <blenderx> via_rhine: device 0000:00:12.0 probe failed error -5
[04:52] <cpl-tnt44> Pov , all says lo , eth0,sit0 a;; interface doesnt suppor scanning ...
[04:52] <odyssevs> POV, what's the Ubuntu procedure for loading a wifi driver then (with ndiswrapper)?
[04:52] <michael> blenderx, I have no such error, it just says up n' down
[04:52] <tyuio> hey i have a rhine II
[04:52] <cpl-tnt44> im not
[04:53] <Lunar_Lamp> !ndiswrapper
[04:53] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:53] <blenderx> tyuio, does it work on Ubuntu 6.06?
[04:53] <michael> blenderx, eth1: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1
[04:53] <POVaddct> odyssevs: i don't know, i don't use ndiswrapper
[04:53] <blenderx> guess yes..
[04:53] <tyuio> yep
[04:53] <mich12> what can bw wrong i can ping google but i don't get a webside....
[04:53] <mich12> be
[04:53] <blenderx> michael, then it's fine! isn't it?
[04:53] <michael> No
[04:53] <michael> It will not configure the interface
[04:53] <blenderx> why?
[04:53] <tyuio> mine may be an older one
[04:53] <michael> it will be lik e"configuring" and then just quit and go disabled again :\
[04:54] <POVaddct> cpl-tnt44: then you don't even have the card supported yes. no use in entering the WEP key now.
[04:54] <cpl-tnt44> so what do i do ?
[04:54] <odyssevs> cpl-tnt44, do lspci for us and see whether a chipset is mentioned.
[04:54] <POVaddct> cpl-tnt44: we need to find out the _exact_ type of the wifi card and which driver to use for it (if linux has support for it at all)
[04:54] <odyssevs> If it is the Asteros chipset we can get you up and running.
[04:55] <POVaddct> cpl-tnt44: do you see the card appear in the lspci output?
[04:55] <cpl-tnt44> i remember it does bcz i know i'v worked with it few months back with the same version of linux
[04:55] <odyssevs> Should be a half dozen entries from the bottom of the list produced by lspci, cpl-tnt44.
[04:55] <odyssevs> CPL, sure, but satisfy me anyway.
[04:55] <cpl-tnt44> Netgear 820.11b 16bit MA401
[04:56] <blenderx> michael, disable the networking service, check your /etc/network/* files
[04:56] <blenderx> manually, then re-enable the networking thing.
[04:56] <silent_scream> hi guys, i added 2 lines in my repos, but when i run "sudo apt-get update" it tells me something aboud "NO_PUBKEY" or something...How do i fix this?
[04:56] <odyssevs> That's a PCMCIA card, cpl-tnt44??
[04:56] <michael> blenderx, meaning I'll temporarily lose my connection, eh?
[04:56] <mich12> i give up
[04:56] <cpl-tnt44> YEAP !
[04:57] <odyssevs> cpl-tnt44, http://www.linux-wlan.org/
[04:57] <cpl-tnt44> im talking from my PC , but im trying to help my little laptop over here ...
[04:57] <blenderx> michael, the whole point is: if you got the kernel driver loaded and working then you already solved the 90% of the problem
[04:57] <mich12> windows = evil but works for me
[04:57] <odyssevs> mich12, sure, but Ubuntu had this problem with me earlier.
[04:57] <blenderx> michael, all the rest is just configuration stuff...
[04:57] <odyssevs> I configured it to be static and voila.. it worked. No idea why.
[04:57] <POVaddct> cpl-tnt44: 16bit pcmcia does not appear on pci bus, only cardbus
[04:57] <michael> Huh... now to figure out how to configure :\
[04:58] <mich12> it worked @ work 2
[04:58] <mich12> but not @ home
[04:58] <blenderx> michael, try to disable fancy stuff like DHCP, IPv6 (?), and all. and try again...
[04:58] <odyssevs> cpl-tnt44, in here ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/
[04:58] <cpl-tnt44> yeah im there ,,,
[04:59] <m40> hola
[04:59] <blenderx> OK. have to go.. my sister is requesting this PC for some work on Windows...
[04:59] <odyssevs> Since ndiswrapper isn't available from the command line, I haven't a clue what your next step should be.
[04:59] <cpl-tnt44> but im talking from my pc with winXp how can i put a use to these files ?
[04:59] <XiXaQ> I've installed two new harddisks. One is external and one internal. I'd like to have them automatically mounted when I boot and unmounted when I shut down. I also want them in Computer. How do I accomplish this?
[04:59] <blenderx> michael, good luck :)
[04:59] <m40> alguien que hable espaol?
[04:59] <odyssevs> In theory you introduce the .inf/.sys (windows driver) for the card to ndiswrapper, then tell it which pieces of hardware it drives, then modualise it.
[04:59] <blenderx> odyssevs, thanks for the nice chat.
[04:59] <Alakazam_> man i love linux
[04:59] <blenderx> bye.
[05:00] <Alakazam_> i havent been on a computer in 6 months.
[05:00] <cpl-tnt44> so POV , should i switch back to my D-link Airplus DWL-650+ ? bcz its 32bit card ... would be easier no ?
[05:00] <odyssevs> XiXaQ, fstab
[05:00] <odyssevs> !fstab
[05:00] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[05:00] <odyssevs> te he he
[05:00] <XiXaQ> isn't there any gui for it?
[05:00] <odyssevs> You need one?!
[05:00] <etzerd> Hello all
[05:00] <XiXaQ> I'd like one.
[05:01] <odyssevs> Quicker to do it manually.
[05:01] <etzerd> when is the next version will be out?
[05:01] <aeroSoul> XiXaQ: try the system menu in ubuntu.. -> disks
[05:01] <odyssevs> system > administration > disks ?
[05:01] <XiXaQ> I have no such option in my System > Administration menu.
[05:01] <cpl-tnt44> hellow ?
[05:02] <POVaddct> cpl-tnt44: the netgear card should be supported out of the box. is the the card? http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wlan%3Anetgearma401
[05:02] <odyssevs> cpl-tnt44, I'd personally use the PCMCIA.
[05:02] <michael> By the way, I'm running Kubby and not Ubby, #kubuntu had no one to help, but it's all the same to me :)
[05:02] <michael> I'll be back, time to try fancy configuring.
[05:02] <Psih0MAN> hello! i'm using ubuntu dapper and xmms for playing music. when i try to add a directory or drag and drop a directory onto an empty list, it crashes with segmentation fault. i've googled and found that xmms-flac or an defective id3 tag can crash xmms... i've disabled xmms-flac plugin and tried to load another dir, with the same results... any ideas, experiences for getting out of this situation?
[05:03] <flajz> hello. my screen has always been a little dark (even though brightness is set to max), so is there a way to increase the brightness in ubuntu?
[05:04] <RankorFodder> hey does anyone have stability issues with Mozilla on flash-heavy sites? i can't even install the latest flash for some reason.
[05:04] <Stevo> rank> i do i have that issue.  as far as i know, the latest flash for linux is 7
[05:05] <odyssevs> flajz, xgamma --help
[05:05] <Ensiferum> hello. is an usb stick supposed to be mounted automatically somewhere?
[05:05] <flajz> thank you, ill try
[05:05] <flajz> im new to linux, but man, ubuntu rocks :P
[05:05] <RankorFodder> Stevo: when i browse to adultswim.com moz tells me it wants to automatically load the flash plugin, then says there is none
[05:05] <RankorFodder> and it hangs when watching youtube videos sometimes
[05:06] <odyssevs> reinstall flash?
[05:06] <etzerd> is anybody in this channel ever try to install Debian?
[05:06] <odyssevs> Ensiferum, not sure.. some distros create an icon on the desktop when a USB storage device is plugged in.
[05:06] <odyssevs> Ensiferum, you can mkdir /usb and mount /dev/sdX
[05:07] <RankorFodder> ody: i have been thru all sorts of binge and purge install/uninstallings with flash. i think maybe moz is just shite
[05:07] <Ensiferum> odyssevs: those are my hard drives
[05:07] <odyssevs> although I see there's no sd* in /dev/ ... =|
[05:07] <Ensiferum> ah i fact there is
[05:07] <RankorFodder> have you followed the whole MoCo vs. Debian fiasco?
[05:08] <POVaddct> cpl-tnt44: still there?

[05:08] <bdragonmsl> Does anyone else using ubuntu have a their internet take a long time to load?
[05:08] <odyssevs> No.
[05:08] <odyssevs> bdragonmsl, is internet traffic loading at all?
[05:08] <bdragonmsl> yeah
[05:08] <printk> what does "their internet take a long time to load" mean?  slow web page browsing?  packetloss?
[05:08] <RankorFodder> bdragonmsl: could you be more specific with the symptoms?
[05:08] <bdragonmsl> it just takes a while and I have a good cable connection
[05:09] <bdragonmsl> pretty much printk
[05:09] <mich> @ list u get something
[05:09] <odyssevs> bdragonmsl, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/55412-slow-internet-ubuntu.html
[05:09] <mich> i don't
[05:09] <RankorFodder> on boot is it hanging while talking to dhcp? or does your browser take a long time to load?
[05:10] <bdragonmsl> I'll go to browse the internet and click on a page and it'll keep saying "looking up myspace.com/..."
[05:10] <bdragonmsl> browser just takes a long time to load
[05:10] <odyssevs> Yes that's a known problem, bdragonmsl.
[05:10] <odyssevs> See the URL above I pasted.
[05:11] <Volvo> hi, I have a warning in Yellow at the bottom right corner of the screen. It says, " If you have a router/firewall, please check that you have port 40664 UDP open. Decentralised tracking requires this."
[05:11] <Volvo> then there is a HIDE button but it doesn't works
[05:11] <odyssevs> Volvo, CIA must be after you!
[05:11] <Volvo> how should I remove it ?
[05:11] <brutopia> can I somehow limit network access by process with iptables
[05:12] <odyssevs> brutopia, absolutely. What are you looking to do exactly?
[05:12] <Volvo> odyssevs, CIA why ?
[05:12] <brutopia> I would like to provide network access for firefox only
[05:12] <Outrunner-Pt> hey ppl
[05:12] <odyssevs> brutopia, you mean a specific browser? I'm not certain iptables handles that.
[05:12] <brutopia> no other process shouldn't be able to connect anywhere
[05:13] <RankorFodder> man. Mozilla was rock solid when i was running the XP flavor, but under ubuntu, it's like a hemopheliac baby in a knife factory.
[05:13] <brutopia> odyssevs: not specific browser, specific process
[05:13] <Chousuke> You can get halfway there by completely blocking all ports other than 80
[05:14] <brutopia> I know that but I was asking that is it possible to limit by process
[05:14] <bdragonmsl> Thanks for your help odyssevs
[05:14] <Ensiferum> yay, managed to mount my phone. thanks odyssevs
[05:14] <odyssevs> --uid-owner userid does it, brutopia.
[05:14] <odyssevs> http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO/packet-filtering-HOWTO-7.html
[05:14] <POVaddct> brutopia: it is possible to limit for a process id (PID), but not for a process name (would be too easy to fake)
[05:15] <POVaddct> odyssevs: --uid-owner limits to a speficic user, not process
[05:15] <brutopia> do you know how it is done on windows with f-secure or symantec firewall
[05:16] <Chousuke> POVaddct: you could probably make the firefox process run as a separate user, then
[05:16] <brutopia> there is some checksum calculated for process which is allowed to connect?
[05:16] <POVaddct> Chousuke: could work, but then all users would have the same browser settings, cache, etc.
[05:17] <Chousuke> yeah :/
[05:17] <POVaddct> brutopia: i don't know how f-secure handles that. i don't use windows.
[05:18] <Caius> !ubuntu
[05:18] <ubotu> Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHowCome
[05:19] <RankorFodder> i used to use windows up untill 2 weeks ago.. M$ Genuine Advantage decided my $130 legally purchased XP licence wasnt "Genuine" enough, so i said screw it and let ubuntu have the whole hdd.
[05:19] <ArtVandalae> How can I tell if I have the Java SDK and not just Java RE?
[05:19] <POVaddct> brutopia: if you want to limit network to a specific process binary (inode of the filesystem), i can't be done with standard linux. rsbac (a kernel patch providing a security framework) can do that. but rsbac is not easy to configure.
[05:20] <mich> sorry to waist ur time ppl thankx for all the help but i'm not a ubuntu person , i'm goner go abck to windows xp
[05:20] <RankorFodder> the sad thing is, i actually get higher FPS in CS:S emulated under cedega than i got natively in XP
[05:20] <RankorFodder> mich: plz come back when you are sick of Vista eventually. :-D
[05:21] <mich> i don't have vista xp home
[05:21] <odyssevs> Actually mich's problem can be easily solved.
[05:21] <RankorFodder> yea, but M$ will eventually stop supporting XP and try to force you to use vista
[05:21] <mich> easy to u hard for me
[05:22] <XiXaQ> POVaddct, if you can run javac, then you have the SDK installed.
[05:22] <darkanyel> anyone can explain me what mean this??: libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
[05:22] <mich> i only had ubuntu on my notebook for 5hours
[05:22] <odyssevs> If I had an exactly solution I'd have shared it with you, mich.
[05:22] <m1sh-L> i will install compiz-plugin but there is a error: Depends: csm (>=0.5) but it is not installable
[05:22] <SkippyX> RankorFodder, They will. But it's going to take a long time for that to happen. I think I read that MS just stopped supporting win 98.
[05:22] <m1sh-L> whar can i do?
[05:22] <POVaddct> XiXaQ: huh? i didnt ask a java question
[05:22] <SkippyX> That's almost 10 years of support.
[05:22] <XiXaQ> POVaddct, heh, sorry...
[05:22] <odyssevs> I had the same one myself earlier (an hour into Ubuntu) and solved it quite accidentally... why/how is a mystery.
[05:23] <XiXaQ> ArtVandalae, if you can run javac then you have Java SDK installed..
[05:23] <RankorFodder> SkippyX: yea, but for all the BS i've been thru with my perfectly legal licence that they wanted me to pay for AGAIN, i bet others are getting fed up with it too
[05:23] <odyssevs> Microsoft is scheduled to be pulled anyway.
[05:23] <odyssevs> Along with Sony and Motorola and Nokia.
[05:23] <mich> i think is a problem with my dlink 604T and my notebook
[05:23] <odyssevs> Four companies you'll see collapse.
[05:23] <ArtVandalae> XiXaQ: nope, no javac. The only thing is, I have Eclipse installed, doesn't that mean that I have to have the JavaSDK installed?
[05:23] <SkippyX> RankorFodder, Hmm. Yeah - that's another issue - and one that will continue to drive individual migrations.
[05:23] <darkanyel> anyone can explain me what mean this??: "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b" plz
[05:24] <SkippyX> odyssevs, I've not heard anything about all that.
[05:24] <brutopia> btw, is there some way to automatically disable the touchpad when external mouse is connected
[05:24] <m40>  estudio ingenieria electronica, soy nuevo con el linux, necesito un software similar al proteus para linux. existe?
[05:24] <XiXaQ> ArtVandalae, that means you _should_ have the SDK installed. I've never used Eclipse, but I think it's a native one?
[05:24] <RankorFodder> SkippyX: actually, i have to be thankful for their fascist practices, because it drove me right into a Ubuntu system and i havent looked back
[05:24] <POVaddct> brutopia: is the external mouse a usb one?
[05:24] <odyssevs> SkippyX, long term - which obviously lets me off the hook to prove the hypothesis, but it's my reckoning. A hunch.
[05:24] <mich> thankx for ur help odyssevs ....
[05:24] <ArtVandalae> XiXaQ: where would the Java SDK lie in the directory tree, I could just look for it there?
[05:24] <brutopia> POVaddct: yes
[05:24] <XiXaQ> ArtVandalae, Eclipse doesn't provide a SDK I think.
[05:24] <odyssevs> Mich buddy, man route.
[05:24] <adsf_> hey ppl
[05:25] <odyssevs> Mich, you'll get it eventually.
[05:25] <adsf_> could ya help me a bit
[05:25] <POVaddct> brutopia: then try: sudo rmmod psmouse
[05:25] <SkippyX> RankorFodder, 'twas win98se that drove me to linux (mdk 7.2), been in the *nix environtment ever since.
[05:25] <RankorFodder> ody: i dont think any of those 4 companies will ever "go under" so much as merge, be bought out, etc.
[05:25] <ArtVandalae> XiXaQ: oh okay. Can I pull down the SDK via apt-get?
[05:25] <adsf_> I installed ubuntu on a comp with 128mb ram and 400mhz and this is reaaaaallly friggin slow
[05:25] <odyssevs> RankorFodder, dunno I think Microsoft is in for a seriously pulling.
[05:25] <brutopia> POVaddct: do you have any idea how to do that automatically
[05:25] <adsf_> is there some way to get this faster <.<
[05:25] <tamale> How do I install a new gigabit ehternet PCI controller card in my ubuntu system?  I installed the card but upon reboot I don't have anything new listed when I run "lspci".  Help!
[05:25] <odyssevs> Hell what's the difference, the US is facing a depression.
[05:25] <Abst> Does anyone know why I cant install W32codecs?
[05:25] <mich> cya ppl
[05:25] <ArtVandalae> adsf_: yeah, it needs more RAM, or you should try something like fluxbuntu
[05:25] <XiXaQ> ArtVandalae, not sure. I'm installing it manually myself.
[05:25] <Abst> E: Package w32codecs has no installation candidate
[05:25] <ArtVandalae> Abst, any errors?
[05:26] <pdavid> can anyone lend a hand getting an external dvdrw mounted?
[05:26] <pdavid> using dapper
[05:26] <odyssevs> tamale, I would have suggested modconf but it doesn't appear to exist in Ubuntu.
[05:26] <POVaddct> brutopia: maybe in some udev scripts. udev should recognize the plugging of a usb hid device
[05:26] <pdavid> my dmesg output is
[05:26] <jrib> ubotu: tell Abst about w32codecs
[05:26] <adsf_> ArtVandalae, is there a way to just install that fluxbox to this one?
[05:26] <gnomefreak> Abst: its not in the repos please read the restricted formats site that ubotu will post to your om
[05:26] <ArtVandalae> adsf_: yep
[05:26] <gnomefreak> pm
[05:26] <tamale> odyssevs: Any other ideas?
[05:26] <ArtVandalae> adsf_: but I'm not the right person to ask, try google it
[05:26] <m40> HOLA  necesito saber si existe un software similar al PROTEUS para linux
[05:26] <RankorFodder> SkippyX: i think a lot of ppl are going to be mad when Vista breaks their 2 year old systems. i bet a lot of migration will happen when upgrade costs rise
[05:26] <superkirbyartist> How do I use Thunderbird in Nautilus?
[05:26] <SpudDogg> What a beautiful Oct 1
[05:27] <odyssevs> SkippyX, how well do you reckon Ubuntu will run on a 300 MHz 128 MB machine?
[05:27] <michael> Messing around with /etc/network helped 0%.
[05:27] <POVaddct> brutopia: i don't have an ubuntu system here right now, so i can't test
[05:27] <adsf_> I'll just try to get it with synapsis or wat ever
[05:27] <m40> ayuda
[05:27] <SkippyX> odyssevs, Not too well, I'd imagine. I'd be thinking a roll your own variant would be best there.....
[05:27] <POVaddct> odyssevs: i'd use xubuntu (no gnome, but xfce) on such a machine
[05:27] <bou9al> hi all
[05:28] <odyssevs> You're the second person to recommend xfce today.. must look into it.
[05:28] <superkirbyartist> SkippyX: It works pretty well on 400mhz, a little slow.
[05:28] <SpudDogg> Can someone tell me how to read partitions on my HD?  I have another Linux distro installed on my hda2, but I need to read it from Ubuntu.  Is this possible?
[05:28] <POVaddct> odyssevs: it's really cool
[05:28] <xenoNfluX> I run Ubuntu Server on a 633 Celeron/512MB RAM/20GB HDD :)
[05:28] <SkippyX> RankorFodder, could be.
[05:28] <michael> xfce is quite blazing.
[05:28] <bou9al> I'm lookind for documentatin on how to install ubuntu on vmware
[05:28] <superkirbyartist> Both desktop and server work on 400mhz.
[05:28] <Abst> Thanks
[05:28] <pdavid> using xfce here, and it is really, really fast
[05:28] <gh0st333> how can i use *only* some packages of ubuntu edgy in dapper?
[05:28] <POVaddct> odyssevs: even the old xfce3 (gtk1-based) is nice
[05:28] <RankorFodder> SkippyX: or maybe i'm among a small minority that feels the price of windows is far too great for the home desktop user
[05:29] <RankorFodder> yyou never know
[05:29] <adsf_> I friggin knew this wouldnt work..
[05:29] <mister_roboto> SpudDogg: you just have to mount them on an empty directory. then you can go into that partition just like another directory. read about "mount" and see your /etc/fstab file
[05:29] <superkirbyartist> Personally, never tried Xubuntu.  It kills your bandwith.
[05:29] <superkirbyartist> (Ed)Ubuntu will work, but a little slow.
[05:29] <pdavid> so dmesg output shows my dvdrw being recognized, and attached at sg2
[05:29] <SkippyX> RankorFodder, that's the conclusion I came to. price is too high both in beer and speech terms.
[05:29] <odyssevs> What's the trick to setting up xfce in lieu of gnome?
[05:29] <pdavid> but all attempts to mount it fail miserably, because it shows up as a character device, not block device
[05:29] <gh0st333> how can i use *only* some packages of ubuntu edgy in dapper?
[05:29] <Abst> Anyone know what Id need to play this? http://www.srobbin.com/africam.php
[05:29] <RankorFodder> amen to that
[05:29] <darkanyel> how can i install the driver ati in egdy eft????
[05:29] <skpl> can someone please help me? i am having trouble connecting to the internet under ubuntu
[05:29] <POVaddct> odyssevs: what is "lieu"?
[05:29] <superkirbyartist> Go to http://xubuntu.com
[05:29] <superkirbyartist> There is a Ubuntu to XUbuntu section.
[05:30] <POVaddct> odyssevs: sorry, i am not a native english speaker
[05:30] <odyssevs> POVaddct, in place of, instead of.
[05:30] <RankorFodder> skpl: what exactly is the issue?
[05:30] <t0taln00b> hey all
[05:30] <SkippyX> skpl - dial-up? DSL?
[05:30] <pdavid> relevant dmesg output is here: http://pastebin.ca/187869
[05:30] <skpl> RankorFodder, when i tried to open a webpage it said it could not connect to the server
[05:30] <SpudDogg> mister_roboto: is the mounting part done from in Ubuntu?  See I need to read the /boot directory from my Back|Track install so I can make grub recognize it as a bootable OS
[05:30] <pdavid> any ideas?
[05:30] <POVaddct> odyssevs: there is a xfce metapackage: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[05:30] <t0taln00b> i have just one question :)
[05:30] <RankorFodder> skpl: ok, so when the system boots, does it hang when it says "Starting DHCP"?
[05:30] <rkd> t0taln00b: go on
[05:31] <skpl> RankorFodder, no it booted up fine
[05:31] <odyssevs> POV, I presume this then asks whether xfce should replace gnome as the default window manager?
[05:31] <POVaddct> odyssevs: install it and choose session type XFCE when logging in
[05:31] <odyssevs> magic thanks.
[05:31] <skpl> RankorFodder, i just cannot pull up any webpages in firefox
[05:31] <adsf_> aargh
[05:31] <RankorFodder> skpl: are you on a cable modem, dsl, dialup?
[05:31] <flajz> what "system tray"-program do you guys use? I dont know which is the best
[05:31] <superkirbyartist> Install server with xubuntu-desktop.
[05:31] <POVaddct> odyssevs: no, gdm/kdm lets you choose the session type on login
[05:31] <adsf_> I have ubuntu hoary <.<
[05:31] <superkirbyartist> BOO!
[05:31] <adsf_> I thought this would work on this
[05:31] <supermiguel> when i try to open an rpm file on my laptop it says archive type not supported but when i try onmy desktop it let me install it
[05:31] <superkirbyartist> OLD SCHOOL.
[05:31] <supermiguel> what can i do
[05:32] <adsf_> -.-'
[05:32] <skpl> RankorFodder, cable, rr.com
[05:32] <Alakazam_> whats the latest SMP kernel i can use W/ ubuntu?
[05:32] <darkanyel> how can i install the driver ati in egdy eft????
[05:32] <t0taln00b> when i get to the poing of partitioning to resize and use freed space installer just sits there doing nothing :(
[05:32] <skpl> RankorFodder, i think it might be my wireless connection
[05:32] <mister_roboto> SpudDogg: if you need grub to scan your disk to see another bootable partition, that's a different issue. if you just wanna mount it and use it for read/write while you're running ubuntu, you use "mount" and/or put it in your fstab
[05:32] <superkirbyartist> !thunderbird nautilus
[05:32] <POVaddct> omg, it's sunday...
[05:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thunderbird nautilus - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[05:33] <adsf_> hey ppl help me duh <.<
[05:33] <RankorFodder> skpl: im not sure, im looking for an automatic DHCP script
[05:33] <superkirbyartist> How do you setup thunderbird with nautilus?
[05:34] <supermiguel> when i try to open an rpm file on my laptop it says archive type not supported but when i try onmy desktop it let me install it
[05:34] <adsf_> I want this ubuntu to work on 400mhz and 128mb ram
[05:34] <t0taln00b> im using edgy beta and have an installer problem
[05:34] <superkirbyartist> adsf_: It will.
[05:34] <adsf_> this is slooooow
[05:34] <renaud> adsf_, try xfce instead of gnome
[05:34] <RankorFodder> skpl: you need to make sure that 1) your ubuntu can use your eth0 card, and 2) DHCP is auto grabbing you an IP
[05:34] <adsf_> I want fluxbox or sumthin
[05:34] <adsf_> I cant find xfce from synaptic
[05:34] <skpl> RankorFodder, how would i go about making sure it is doing that?
[05:34] <SpudDogg> mister_roboto: If you go to /boot/grub/menu.lst you will see all the items that are in the grub menu.  I am trying to put the boot info for Back|Track in there, but I cannot figure out what I need to put in there.  What I was hoping to do was to read Back|Track's /boot folder.  Do you happen to know an easier way?
[05:34] <superkirbyartist> renaud: What does xfce do?  How do you install?

[05:36] <RankorFodder> skpl: try and use that networking configuration tool to set up your wireless.. i dont use wireless, so i dunno about drivers, etc. but you probably need the correct device driver installed
[05:36] <skpl> RankorFodder, ok i will go mess with that and then be back.

[05:38] <SpudDogg> mister_roboto: Ubuntu is installed on hda1, B|T on hda2, and my swap is hda4.
[05:38] <mister_roboto> SpudDogg: so the only tricky part is getting the disk/partition right where your other boot partition is located

[05:40] <mister_roboto> SpudDogg: hda1 is hd(0,0
[05:40] <SpudDogg> mister_roboto: yea, ok i got that.  now how do i find the kernel and initrd lines?

[05:40] <adsf_> I'll just get Windows 98 for this comp ;D

[05:41] <SpudDogg> mister_roboto: actually, im just going to try to boot into b|T now.  Thanks for the help man!  I have a feeling I'll be right back :)

[05:44] <odyssevs> stu_, why not just apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils ?
[05:44] <adsf_> kkk
[05:45] <stu_> odyssevs: thats how I installed it he first time
[05:45] <POVaddct> XiXaQ: you mean from the live cd?
[05:45] <XiXaQ> supermiguel, What do you mean by Internet Explorer games? Java or Flash?
[05:45] <stu_> its installed now that way, when I type ndiswrapper it tells me no versions of ndiswraper are installed
[05:45] <supermiguel> xixa neither
[05:45] <stu_> I have to use ndiswrapper-1.1
[05:45] <stu_> which isntalls the driver, but I cant modprobe
[05:45] <Zaggynl> is there a way to revert to the previous version of a package?
[05:45] <supermiguel> XiXaQ: is a game that requieres internet explorer to lunch
[05:45] <XiXaQ> POVaddct, no, installed system... I want to make a package from java sdk and netbeans installers.
[05:45] <THX-1138> stu_ - sudo apt-get install  linux-headers-'uname -R'   i believe that is the command
[05:46] <odyssevs> POV, is there a procedure which tests whether it's necessary to use ndiswrapper?
[05:46] <stu_> THX-1138: I have the headers installed to
[05:46] <THX-1138> stu_ - when in doubt use synaptic
[05:46] <XiXaQ> supermiguel, then you probably can't. There is a way to install ie in ubuntu, but I don't remember the name.. ie4linux?
[05:46] <XiXaQ> ask google.
[05:46] <Zaggynl> yep
[05:46] <Zaggynl> ie4linux it is
[05:46] <stu_> I installed ndiswrapper, build essentials and kernel headers using synaptic
[05:46] <RedGhost> How can I disable drives being shown as desktop icons??
[05:46] <THX-1138> stu_ - possible mismatch? headers to kernel?
[05:46] <odyssevs> iwconfig is showing my wifi card as eth1, and has the right chipset listed as 'nickname'.. gives me the impression the system knows the card.

[05:53] <ubotu> lamp is Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[06:30] <lennox> hi

[06:31] <Arrick> does anyone know if the ATI Radeon 7500 is supported in Ubuntu Breezy?
[06:31] <zeemon> no prob. maybe is a general truble

[06:31] <eigenlambda> bruenig: those aren't internet abbreviations...
[06:31] <bruenig> yeah, I couldn't think of what to call them
[06:31] <eigenlambda> yes.  binary_goofy, please spell things correctly
[06:31] <lennox> do you guys know how i can deinstall ubuntu linux?
[06:31] <RankorFodder> zeemon: i know there are known issues with that in Moz bugtracker
[06:31] <bruenig> they aren't lingo because he is the only one that uses them
[06:31] <eigenlambda> lennox: you mean, reinstall windows?
[06:31] <TheGateKeeper> skpl: use something like gparted to repartition & reformat, can't you get on with linux?
[06:31] <lennox> ja
[06:32] <RankorFodder> zee: maybe the next release will address the issue
[06:32] <eigenlambda> pull out your windows install cds
[06:32] <eigenlambda> and install it
[06:32] <zeemon> OK. My other question is: how  to unnistall a printer?
[06:32] <mike_stern>  how can i remove a tty login screen? i am trying to write a script to remove the console login when 5 passwords are provided incorrecrly
[06:32] <RankorFodder> wtf is a printer? ;p;
[06:32] <RankorFodder> lol
[06:32] <lopzided> lol
[06:32] <zeemon> I have an HP1020, I check and is not supported
[06:32] <lennox> i have tried a hundred times but it didnt work
[06:32] <zeemon> o.O
[06:32] <binary_goofy> eigen: sorry. didn't know u would get upset over it. just that its faster to type. anyways, i install esound-clients through synaptic?
[06:32] <eigenlambda> ask about how to install windows on #windows
[06:33] <bruenig> zeemon, you want to uninstall it? if it doesn't work how did you install it?
[06:33] <eigenlambda> binary_goofy: yes
[06:33] <zeemon> sorry about my poor english second language lol ^_^
[06:33] <TheGateKeeper> lennox: tried what?
[06:33] <eigenlambda> thats ok
[06:33] <RankorFodder> i dont own a printer, but i thought CUPS would let any printer work?
[06:33] <lopzided> lennox, do you have your BIOS set to boot from CD first?
[06:33] <eigenlambda> foreigners misspelling things is ok.  its just good that you're trying.
[06:33] <bruenig> I thought nearly all HP printers worked since hp writes drivers for them and is very linux friendly
[06:33] <Abst> Anyone know why after installing flashplugin-nonfree I still cant use flash?
[06:33] <lennox> before i installed ubuntu i could easly install anything
[06:34] <keiron> does anyone know if it's possible to re-add yourself to the sudo group after you stupidly removed yourself from it, when there are no other users in the sudo group and the root password is not set?
[06:34] <lopzided> lennox, what did you have installed before ubuntu?
[06:34] <mike_stern> how can i restrict the number of GETTY ?
[06:34] <THX-1138> RankorFodder: Yes, - It works very well - you need the name windows cals your printer and the correct path
[06:34] <THX-1138> !cups

[06:34] <bruenig> lennox, to deinstall an operating system, just reformat the partition or drive it is on
[06:34] <TheGateKeeper> lennox: use something like gparted to repartition & reformat
[06:34] <lennox> it was on a cd
[06:34] <lopzided> o rly?
[06:35] <RankorFodder> lennox: if you are dual-booting xp and ubuntu,  you have to replace GRuB with NTLDR and then simply format your linux partition and resize the ntfs one to full-size
[06:35] <zeemon> I look at forums for answers and that model is not supported. There is some kind of patch wich I downloaded, but when I ttry to install it recognices the old printer..
[06:36] <Shan> hi, i'm interested in putting up a ubuntu mirror server in my country... whom do i contact / where can i get more info?

[06:40] <cherubiel> main2: man vncserver should give you all options, including switches
[06:40] <eracc> lennox, so you installed Ubuntu and now want to delete it? When you installed Ubuntu did you choose a dual-boot setup? (Keep Windoze and add Ubuntu)?

[06:41] <Arrick2> I would appreceate it if you could speak about windows decently, just because you sont like it, doesnt mean it doesnt have its uses
[06:41] <cherubiel> lennox: easiest way to clean, do a fixmbr in windows to restore the bootloader, then manually delete the required partitions

[06:42] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure alsa is selected by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (Alsa Mixer). If you are still having problems with sound, then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems

[06:46] <Arrick2> If I have shorewall installed, where do I access the program from to config it?
[06:46] <eracc> lennox, that talks about recovery of your Win$ystem. Specifically you want "	Repair the file system boot sector or the Master Boot Record (MBR).".
[06:46] <higen> mike_stern: /etc/tty2 ?? isnt that located in dev?
[06:46] <mike_stern> it is
[06:46] <lunaphyte> does ubuntu have something similar to debian's testing, so one could follow the continual update of packages, rather than a formal release?
[06:46] <mike_stern> higen
[06:46] <ompaul> russki-1, that is not a support comment take it easy you say errorcode -11 but you give no context, booting during some program operation or something else
[06:46] <mike_stern> it used to work fine!
