indygunfreak is there some kind of key combo i can hold down at bootup that will force CLI?
cause I didn't want grub installed on hd0
np
Does that make sense?
Evening everyone.
its not the cd... it works fine on other pcs
hmm why don you install a boot loader on hd0 and the ubunto on the hdd usb drive
???
will apt-get upgrade update *all* my packages, or update my whole OS to the next OS above?
you can hit esc when grub is loading , get the grub menu and choose the recovery image
Does anyone know when Ubuntu will use WPA security?
because I'm running vista on the hd0
because he has vista.
I just want to do an update of all my package from the cmdline rather than synaptic
so i mean
then there's something up with the drive/bios settings if it's not even reading the disc before booting windows's bootloader
do you get a console with ctrl-alt-f1 ?
it does already
hmm so do as i do
in the bios i changed the boot process
still nothing
Really?
sounds like a tricky install
changed it to ide cd drive
AND, I'd like to port my USB drive to any machine, and just point the BIOS to my usb and not have to worry about grub all the time
Where are the setting located?
Toma, it is
Yeah, I believe so
burn an old laptop and use it to run linux
hang on.. lemme run try that
use apt-get dist-upgrade if you want to do it that way]
Planet-X, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade will update all your packages
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
Problem is, ubuntu has problems installing grub to sda, which is the designation for my usb drive
Thanks I'll have a read
wastrel, if that works, what should i do to reconfigure x?
my opinion, make the Vista bootloader look for grub, that will be installed onto the usb hdd. dont put grub on the MBR
So use apt-get dist-upgrade wont update me to 7.10 (I don't want that)?
NigelS, No, apt-get dist-upgrade will still just give you the newest packages for the version you are currently running
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Toma?
Okay, thanks
vista bootloader can detect grub?
nopw
k brb
nope user agent is not working for me
if this is a fresh install you might want sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade first
no, it will pass the boot process to the USB drive, then grub will burst to life
so as to have the freshest packages.
(it will take a while)
like
You do that through bios by having the usb drive as first priority
YES
I know
when windows is already booted
and i put in the live cd..
yes I know, my point was that dist-upgrade is a more sensible option than upgrade in terms of maintaining packages
it loades it and comes up
has a button that says .. boot live cd
but it wont let me click it
I've downloaded everything needed to play movies encoded with Divx/XViD, but Totem keeps saying it can't play them because of the absence of those codecs/support for those codecs.
boob
Toma-: you're a bit late, the installer kept crashing when trying to put grub on the usb drive
it won't update to the next version unless your sources are set to the next version
mes macdrunk
what gives?
Okay, thanks
*yes
he tried that for a couple hours..lol
ahh.
errors?
Indy, both 6.06 32bit and 7.00 64bit
Toma-: yeah, id on't remember its exact wording..
so let me refrase yourself you dont have a hdd installed on your pc?
gave both errors
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded
only a usb hdd?
i know.. cuz they install grub the same way
Unable to install grub. This is a fatal error
Planet-X, Then you have the newest versions of everything
are you getting that version now, or did that happen earlier?
videos work fine without Beryl
was reading on google, people are having this problem anyway
I have it on a disk
and I'm installing it right now
if i dont run it the videos and audio work from a .avi, but if i run beryl the video goes black.
6% through
oh ok.. what version are you installing... 6.06, 6.10, or 7.04?
guys, i
Planet-X, Turn off direct rendering in gmplayer
what ever alt install you gave me
it was 32bit tho
welll, i believe all 3 versions were linked there.
whats the name of the iso you downloaded?
hmm the other one's Totem
and there's no option for it.
i386
wait, guys, i need help playing a real audio file.
it was 32bit
i don't know hoe.
jordan, even with it off and beryl running no video man
*how

Hello, I have installed Beryl XGL, but to get everything working 'properly' I have to start up a terminal, and type in the command " beryl-xgl --use-copy
" To get Beryl working, and everytime I do so, the Topbar of the windows disappear, so I cant either move, resize, minimize, or close them. Anyone got a solution for this problem? Thanks.
is mac still here
I see the paradox, but I'm stuck. I have 1gig.. do you have a link to a doc somewhere?
Blast!
it worked
?
xserver-xorg
no, give it a second
lol
not a big deal, don't bother helping me fix it. i will play videos before i use beryl that's all.
still installing software
oh ok
also, you may want to sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade if this is a fresh install, to get the latest updates
Things take time indy
just that command by itself?
(it will take a while)
wel, if anything, i think you win the "most problematic install" of the day award..lol

im sorry my internet went out for a second
easy..
my isp only acepts ie or netscapr browsers
dam
Scz1, Actually, you may be able to do it with a GIG of ram as long as you use the CD version of knoppix, just start it with the "toram" cheat code and it will load the CD into RAM and boot completely from RAM, then you can eject the CD and do whatever you want with the drive
he presses tab to complete it?
brb again
hit the first few letters of my name(for instance, Indy).. then hit tab.. and it will auto complete my name

cause I have USB nic card
which deson't work
and already have xp loaded, how would i go about it?
ah.. yeah those are fun
fun to say the least
if i were you, i'd buy a cable/dsl modem that wasn't usb, so i could use internet access under Ubuntu
anyone? will ubuntu recognize the windows xp boot info or will there be fire and brimstone
its not the cable/dsl
fire and brimstone
hehe
its just the wireless card
how would i go about it ?
wireless USB nic
oh ok.
hi, i was wondering where the default location for tomcat apps wre in ubuntu - i have always used apache which sotres them in /var/www

lets give it a try.. one other minor question- i have a mess of drives connected.. will it recognize usb and firewire drives/have drivers for em?
how can i make wow look better on my computer
all are formatted to ntfs, i'll be able to read them, correct
?
it looks like crap

wow?... world of warcraft
gotcha, thank you pike_
good
dudes, do you know what I can't understand ???
should you install stuff through apt-get or aptitude? or doesn't it matter?
yeah should i get more ram
Get wine...
hehe , didnt know there was somthing like that.
?
How are you running it?
you can read and also write with ntfs-3g (apt-get instal ntfs-config to get ntfs-3g and a useful GUI config tool)
i was
wine is very hit miss... moostly miss
only hippies use aptitude
but i looks horrible
512KB of ram is enough for ubuntu, correct? p4 2.8/512KB or should i use a better pc?
it
personal preference
Any other alternative?
IndyGunFreak?
"do you have a tye died t-shirt i can use.
i have 254 mb of ram
could that be it
NigelS- will note that, thanks
did the install work?
my box is 512 sempron 1.6 ghz
that's fine yeah, though as with all things the more RAM, generally the better the experience
if the linux is developing by a lot people around of world, it should be very optimized, but it's not
ah cool
still installing 40%
why?
i hope you mean 512MB...
hehe
oh, thought you said it was at 96%.
make your own
jordan u
yeah that too
whats mean ubuntu
I'm installing it on a 4200rpm 30gb hitachi hdd
???
lol..
novato_br, actually it is...
did you did that to make it work?
actually i miss my 4KB timex sinclair, but thats another topic
novato_br, just not on your box
Hello, I just tried to install ubuntu with Wubi
sure for better performance tho, id say use XFCE. but really, 512 is enough to run gnome
cool
oh ok... i've got LInux on a 250gig 7200rpm WD
And it gets stuck at the startup screen, and I cant read any error messages because they blaze by really fast
i installed the vlc and mozilla-plugin-vlc (using adept); do i need to do other steps for firefox to be using vlc as default player ?
gnychis, They both use dpkg so the only main differences are that aptitude has a curses interface and automatically removes dependencies, but as of Edgy you can use apt-get autoremove to do the same thing
*checks how much ram he has*
i'm go out from windows, because i belive the windows is not very optimized for my PC
i'm go out from windows, because i belive the windows is not very optimized for my PC
i prefer gnome, more comfortable in it than kde..
came with a sweet leather case tho
i have 512mb of ram here actually. using gnome and running all sorts of stuff
Anyone have any idea about what could be happening? the instalation went fine in all aspects, and now there's this problem
cool.
Rkod, whats wrong?
great, thats usually what i end up doing, and i've just about had it witn windows
sorry for the long time reply, probably a couple of months
Not sure yet really
with*
3days and 11 hours and no slow downs! wewhew!
Does anybody know why would the "Notification" icons randomly come off the gnome panel ?
It doesn't start up well
any errors?
first, a a root canal is more comfortable than KDE
jordan u do i add the lines at the botton of the file
It gets stuck at the startup screen at the third bar
???
everyday a new problem, needs constant reboots..
sorry if this seems a little off-topic, but does anybody know where I could find UNIX System V for download?
2nd, Gnome and Xfce are extremely similar.
hehehee true that IndyGunFreak
It doesn't start up well? Is it sick?
and as far as errors, it keeps going really fast, can't read it
up to my 18,000th process aswell
I let it stand for 34 minutos with nothing happening
minutes*
so could I install with apt-get and uninstall with aptitude to get rid of dependencies also? (aside from the apt-get autoremove feature)
at what point does this happen?
im trying to run an astronomical ftp server, and even though it's running well, the bandwidth utilization utterly sucks.. can't touch the swin in windows ...
i tried kDE again the other day, and it lasted all of about 35min before my retinas were burning and i was back in Gnome.
lol
Does anybody know why would the "Notification" icons randomly come off the gnome panel ?

I installed it with wibu, i'm trying to start it up

!wibu
Sorry, I don't know anything about wibu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
Bacon|ubuntu, intervals ?
Wubi
gnychis, No, I think that both programs are only able to auto remove dependencies of packages that they themselves installed, so I would stick to using one or the other
!wubi
wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
sorry wrong answer =/
hmm, *unofficial*?

by guess is a bad distro

It's very popular, and this isn't my fist time installing linux
cool thanks, any suggestion on either? personal fav?
i gathered..
Just first time with ubuntu
!wubi

And when i try to download Kubuntu.. it goes at 2 kb/s

I would say reinstall with a different LiveCD
cool
2kb?... ar eyou on dial up?
Hey... I'm having some trouble installing ubuntu on my laptop... when I choose "start or install ubuntu" ot loads some stuff, and then says that it was unable to start the x server.. but I haven't even installed it yet... anyone knows what's wrong?
thats what i've been using, so i'll just stick with it
do you guys think i should use wubi or just go with a regular install ?
Hi
I'm not using a liveCD, i'm using wubi, because I wanted to try the whole "Forget about repartitioning" ideal
it automatically gets the ISO from ubuntu
If you just want to test out Ubuntu, why not run a live CD?
Wolf6969, What kind of GFX card do you have?
well, sometimes new isn't always better, and easiest isn't always so.
I'm not informed on wubi
ive done that, it's a lot of fun
does anybody know where I could find secure unix web hosting System V for download?
ready to move on to the next step :/
Philosophy wont help the man
lol
this PC has 730 GB of stuff I can't back up, so i can't lose that
ATI radeon
this pc has 1.5tb
jordan u
Congrats
nothing but the os partition is backed up
I'm sorry IndyGunFreak that was too funny
1.5tb?
Wolf6969, it sounds like there is hardware on your laptop that ubuntu can't handle... try including your laptop specs in your questions and ask again
yeppers
iknow, it was..
MacDrunk, Yes?
just bought two seagate 7200.10's recently
each 500gigs sata 3.0
what if i have festy verion os ubunto and not edgy like it says in the file
no need to be sorry, i'm pretty laid back, in case you've not figured that out.
You can run the liveCD without installing or anything else...it will just give you a little demo, if that's what you are looking for.
i know
Wolf6969, the hardware may just need special treatment
your laid backness has kept me sane the last, oh, 4 hours.
ive ran it , i actually want to do an install and get off windows or at least try to
lol
but thanks PurpZeY
i thinks ill try that wubi thingie
well hopefully it works this time.
in english for stupid people?
Is there another way to install ubuntu/kubuntu without compromising data?
but how many times did i say, "alternate install CD?"?
lol
Prefferably kubuntu
now i want to change the permission so that i can execute the file. How do I do that ? is it "chmod +rx resolution.sh" ?
you owe me 1 memorex music CD-R
if otherwise
lol, ok
hello does anyone know how to uninstall the madwifi drivers so i can use ndiswrapper
better pay up, he's serious too!

Now I know why windows is such an ideal OS
ideal?
ugh..
i don't knwo if ideal is the word i'd use.
No, same drive
gimme a minute
Wolf6969, all good
I was using wubi because it creates a virtual partition, and I saw no harm in that
anyone got an idea ?
when I think about the work I have to do to get linux to work, it makes windows look like a dream boat
any other ways to do the same thing?
i don't go to the bathroom and say, "I think i'm gonna take an ideal".. which is what i think of MS
swiss cheese would be more appropriate
anyone here have any luck with the Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000? I've followed the instructions given in the forums and yet I still don't have a recognized device.

the problem with Linux, is hardware manufacturers don't support it... drivers are written by people way smarter than us on a volunteer basis

because i am having trouble connecting to hidden networks and my signal isnt read as a percent
Hi all... is it possible to get pidgin 2.0.1 to work with feisty fawn?
Wolf6969, Chances are that since ATI hates linux hosting you will need to install their proprietary drivers from the command line to get X to work, you can do this from the LiveCD or install with the alternate CD and do it after the system is installed
Windows, everyone supports it and its done for you, so everything is easy, whereas with Linux, you're pretty much doing everything....
IndyGunFreak, well its a crime, but thats how the world spins
very true.
scales11, you really think ndiswrapper will work better than madwifi?
its amazing how far we've come last few years though. i can expect that hardware will *probably* work to some degree now
omg 86%
omg 90%
here we go
IndyGunFreak, Unless you buy supported hardware
lol
hey, that should be our new logo
heh
it stopped at 96%
whats mean uubunta

now if dell can certify the webcams and other periphs they sell eventually too
omg

and blacklist ath_pci

what is a good program to capture images from a webcamera and then be able to post that image to a website?
$10 for 4 hours? is that legal?
now I need help getting my integrated wireless card to work
lol..
lol
Indy :: only time it is a good idea is when it's a mini distro, otherwise I think it eats up 2 much space & all -- plus life of the mem cells
i'll have to turn you over to someone else for wireless, i sit at a desk.
Bacon|ubuntu, broadcom?
broadcom
!wireless
Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
*sigh*
I'm guessing ndiswrapper?
Bacon|ubuntu, sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
no
oh boy ... ughhhh broadcom *cries* :'(
no, i think broadcomm works w/o a whole lot of hassle.
well uh
there's a native firmware
now i want to change the permission so that i can execute the file. How do I do that ? is it "chmod +rx resolution.sh" ?
anyone got an idea ?
IndyGunFreak, I wouldn't go that far :P
let me hook up my PC through a ethernet
Bacon|ubuntu, Whatever you do, *don't* use NDIS wrapper
lol
I think you just need the +x rather than +rx.
lxgg, that will work
scales11, ^^ see
it sees my wireless as eth1
waaah?
lxgg :: chmod +x your_file_path_here
danglybits - I think you want camerama
okey ill try
Bacon|ubuntu, basically the driver is incuded with ubuntu
but not the firmware
that command I gave you will install it
Operation permitted
not
lxgg you use sudo?
sorry danglybits i meant camorama
Could anybody help me with my Ipod?
why not use ndiswrapper?
lxgg, use sudo chmod +rx resource.sh
anyone here have any luck with the Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000? I've followed the instructions given in the forums and yet I still don't have a recognized device.
be root or do ' sudo chmod +x your_file_here
okey ill try
ok
best bet is to use vlc to test it id think. lsusb doesnt show it?
whats the command again?
pike_ yup, lsusb shows it, but dmesg indicates it is an un-named device
Bacon|ubuntu, sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
driver is loaded?
Sessions there isnt a option in there to remove the splash !
pike_ yup
sry for basic questions.. you never know
IndyGunFreak, Because Broadcom cards have native drivers and NDIS wrapper is a dirty hack
cows look at usplash
pike_ no problem
well i certainly don't want to encourage the use of dirty hacks..

Does any ipod usually show up as /dev/sd* or something like /dev/hd*?
never saw that one
!ubunta | ubotu
Sorry, I don't know anything about ubunta - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
now what?
jadder_, explain what you are trying to do, are you trying to move all files that have a certain grep match to a folder or what
!kubunta | ubotu
Sorry, I don't know anything about kubunta - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
mine shows up as /media/IPOD
Bacon|ubuntu, it's done?
crdlb yes
yes
Bacon|ubuntu, now reboot
Hi!
cows, are you talking about the login screen?
reboot?... what is this strange process you speak of.
greyfrog, well i already changed the login screen
hey there
I have a sata hd, and i`m having trouble to mount ir
it*
well I have to find html file, then copy a new folder in the same line of code
as i remember, is sda or sda1
greyfrog, im trying to remove the ugly orange bg and splash in between the boot change from login screen to desktop
Indy, unfortunately mine does not show up there. I created the mount point there for it and it is connected, but no dice.
those html file are in a folder
then
how many partitions?
just 1
ok then it's just /dev/sda1 (if it's on SATA1)
jadder_, the more specific the better, right now I really don't know what you are talking about
does the ipod icon come up on your desktop?
im on the live cd
ok
cows, bot sure how to change that... ask again with out my name and maybe someone else will pick up...
what do you need then?
not
greyfrog, ?
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount \dev\sda1
can't find devsda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
oh shit
omg it works
my wireless works!
bot, splash screen
lmao..lol
try mkdir /mnt/sda1
Indy, No, It did this morning. When I disconnected it and then reconnected it it does not show up. I edited /etc/fstab to have it auto mount, however, this last time I tried plugging it in it said that it couldn't mount it.
indy
never in my life
Bacon|ubuntu, now just do ifconfig interface down
cows, I don't know how to change that. ask you question again, hopefully someone else knows the answer
did i think!
pike_ did I lose you?
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
just think, if you'd have listened to me about, oh...2.5hrs ago, you'd be in bed already..lol
greyfrog, what ubuntu r u using?
You kidding me?
speed it up that way
sudo those commands
shooba_wooba try using the other slashs
lol
cows feisty
/dev/sda1
I have 4 more hours of ubuntu mind sweeper to play
lol
greyfrog, do you atleast know how to remove feisty splash?
ok sorry there is just so many messages i couldnt keep up
scales11, I strongly recommend not using ndiswrapper
Will someone help me please? I'm getting the "Failed to start X server..." message after doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
I guess jadder_'s bash question wasn't all that important, I am almost certain I could do it with grep and xargs, but whatever
so wireless is that easy with broadcomm xx?
hmm
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda
/dev/sda already mounted or /mnt/sda busy
greyfrog, im pretty sure i can change the orange bg to something else.. its in the login screen option
cows, I'm not sure which splash screen you're talking about. THe only one I know how to change is the usplash
IndyGunFreak, hopefully he doesn't need wpa...
lol
does that just enable wep?
greyfrog, is that the 1 where ubuntu shows nautilus loading up?
I missed it, plz explain why "wifi is so easy w/ broadcom"
pike_ yup, lsusb shows it, but dmesg indicates it is an un-named device
oops
anyone here have any luck with the Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000? I've followed the instructions given in the forums and yet I still don't have a recognized device.
i dont' know, crdlb just talked Bacon|ubuntu through it in about 3min..lol
IndyGunFreak, I've just heard that the bcm43xx driver doesn't work well with WPA
cows, nope... it's the initial "Ubuntu" screen used at bootup
wow
oh i see.
IndyGunFreak, atheros and intel work in 0 minutes
whats that called, wpa-supplicant, or something?
yeah something like that
greyfrog, oh i know about usplash to change that but i dont like using splash screens.. im talking about the splash screen that is displayed right after you login
could you give me write up on getting broadcom wifi and wired nics to work ??? please & thanks
so atheros ad intel wireless chipsets work "out of the box?"
cows, don't know about that...
IndyGunFreak, yes and a few others
assholes
ralink, orinco
hmm, didn't know that
greyfrog, ok
I hate you
!ohmy
Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
my bit rate is only 11mb/s, it should be 54mb
no wai
hehehe kidding
are you using native drivers?
what is this thing anyways?
silvertip257, no idea about wired nics
what thing?
xchat
silvertip257, but for wireless
what is it for
no clue
xchat is an irc client
I have not been able to get into this room for over a week. Is there any thing up with the ubuntu irc severs?
humm, well is there any other option i have? i cannot connect to hidden networks, and the wireless doesnt seem to work all the time, sometimes it just connects
silvertip257, sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
sorry disconnects
were you banned for some reason?
any suggestions on the best torrenting program?

scales11, that provides absolutely no security and breaks the wifi protocol
hey guys i have a question about using gcc to compile
UUUUUBUNTAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
i think the wierdos are waking up.
well, i just did
IndyGunFreak , I don't think I was banded . I just could not get in . I had not said anything prophane or rude or I did not talk about windows haha.
i don'tknow.. thats the only reason i could think for not getting here, cuz i've had no problem
Now here's the trick, having my windows HDD in with my linux
I think my IPod is located at /dev/sdd. I tried sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdd /media/ipod, but it says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd. THis is a Windows IPod though, so if it is not vfat then what could it be?
no trick at all.
you've got grub on your USB drive.
I am brand new to usiing gcc and i have read up on it and i made the simple hello world app out of C and told gcc to compile it by typing "gcc hello_world.c" and it said there was no file or directorybut there is on my desktop .. cna someone help
if you want to boot windows, you set your bios to boot your hard drive
type cd Desktop first
if you want to boot linux, boot your USB drive
whats the proper way to install ndiswrapper? does ndiswrapper-common include the binaries?
alex are you sure you are in the right directory?
so what would the command be?
hey
alexnb185, did you try gcc hello_world.c -o hello_world?
cd Desktop
no i did not
now if you want to add a grub entry to your USB drive, so you can boot to Windows from your USB grub, you can do that.
How do I pick which soundcard my PC uses?
yes unlink i would tpye gcc cd desktop?
that won't help. the error says gcc can't find the input file because it's in a different directory
is tha twhat you meant?
you're starting off in your home directory, which is different from your desktop
ok
first issue the command "cd Desktop". mind the capital D
does anyone know how to remove the gdm splash screen? its the one right after you log on !
gychis , I use ndiswrapper all the time. It is the only way I have gotten my wireless card to work at all.
ok so what exactly do i type in
next, run "gcc hello_world.c". this will produce a file a.out which you can run, if your program compiled and linked correctly
you type cd desktop
"cd Desktop", without the quotes, followed by enter
gychis, just get the driver and then run sudo ndiswrapper -i xxxxxx.inf
what was your wifi nic again ... I'm gonna save that command and all, I could use the info
hey all, i just repartitioned and reinstalled and lost my wifi, i forget how i got it to work but it was bcm43 something
then "gcc hello_world.c", like you had typed before
gychis, then type sudo modprobe ndiswrapper making sure you removed the old driver
Indy, any other ideas concerning the ipod?
ok i did that
and nothign happened but it appearently found the file
oh a file caslled a.out is on my desktop now
when you plug it in, does it automount?
foso:: crdlb may know, he seems to know plenty about wifi
do you get the icon on your desktop?
what would i have to do in feisty to run a cross over cable between my fesity desktop and my thinkpad so my desktop can use my thinkpads wireless connection?
foso, sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
thinkpads feisty too btw
is that just for broadcom nics or any special model crdlb ???
It tries, but fails. Let me try it again.
whats the command to tell what your server version is ?
silvertip257, all 43xx broadcoms
what the heck drivers does an nvidia gforce card use? nvidia isn't a listed option
ok
Masquerade. Which is a pain in the arse to use.
geeksauce, you have to install it
whats the proper way to install ndiswrapper? does ndiswrapper-common include the binaries? i can't find a straight answer, it seems to be the kernel has ndiswrapper with it?
!nvidia
To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
crdlb:: how about broadcom wired nics
unlink how do i open the a.out.. i click it and nothing happens
silvertip257, I know nothing about that
I have a picture for you
Indy, it seems to have mounted this time for some reason.
lol.. you remember to plug it in?
lol
I need to go look at the ones we have in our lab comps @ the college =D
gnychis, sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ndiswrapper-common
run it by typing ./a.out at the command line
type ./a.out
what of
crdlb i don't want to use nvidia's proprietary drivers... i'm not going anything 3d really
it;s of course text only - in a terminal you type a.out - for example gcc hello.c -o hello and then ./hello
geeksauce, then use nv
thanks
it should then print hello world etc
crdlb now what
gnychis, np
oh!, hey thanks alot
geeksauce, unless you have a really new nvidia card that isn't supported by nv
where would i get that i don't see it in the repos
crdlb i tried that but x will not start given the paremeters i set
now back to learing more C
foso, reboot
:-) u guys are a great help
I'm not sure. I think it might be part of Ubuntu.
other useful switches
jordan_u
-g for debugging and -Wall to turn on all warnings
if you don't like Banshee for ipod stuff(i personally dont), one of the Few KDE apps I like, is Amarok.. it kills banshee in setting up an IPOD
My fresh install of ubuntu doesn't boot.
doesn't boot?
like ex would be -g hello_world.c
the last message i see is [ 26.955482] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... file /DSDT.aml not found, using machine DSDT.
It's a nifty program - it allows for IP masking.
I did a big networking project using a Linux box with a wireless card as an internet connection for the whole network, but I can't get it to configure worth a dang myself.
( @ IndyGunFreak )
Indy, I have amarok, but it doesn't seem to find my ipod even though it will show it on the desktop.
-Wall is esp useful in spotting errors. e.g. gcc -g -Wall -ansi -pedantic hello.c -o hello
i've been having some trouble getting a startup script to work on feisty with update-rc.d
i have no idea what that means
good night all
ok
anyone have any advice?
IndyGunFreak:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v353/lundzurheide/noname-2.jpg
is there something that will attempt to autoconfigure xserver-xorg for me?
geeksauce, type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
thanks crdlb
You see that indy?
it must be automounted / mounted to some other partition
lol..
yes.
cows i did that... x won't start
geeksauce, i guess that's the last thing ill say before going to bed . good night.
i mean mount point
that black mini-box is the usb drive
geeksauce, yea i know
funny, i'd have thought after this long, there'd be a lot of empty beer cans on your desk,.
those cds, are all 3 distros
geeksauce, in terminal like your in console?
lmao
If I was 21 indy
if I was 21
I'd be drunk
geeksauce, hmm did it start before?
cows, no i mean x fails to even start when i bott up
boot
Indy, in the devices tab amarok says there is no device available
well, at least you know how to do it now.., next time, you'll know not to goff with the live cd for 2hrs, just go straight to the alternate install.
geeksauce, wat kind of installation is it?
iv'e actually never installed to a usb drive, but i figured the alt. install cd was the way to go.
I have an external soundcard plugged in - a Soundblaster. How do I get Ubuntu to use it? It works fine on PCs with no other soundcard, but I have onboard sound on my laptop and need to get it to use my outboard card.
so...anyone have expertise with system services?
cows, yes, but i was using nvidia's driver and hating it. i recently upgraded to the latest distro
Indy, I had it execute mount -t vfat /dev/sdc2 /media/ipod, but it doesn't seem to do anything after that.
geeksauce, ok so thats why the x server dont start.. mostly you will see a blue screen right?
hello can someone please help me to resolve why I am getting cut off from internet intermittently?
Indy, although it does show up in nautilus.
i don't know, i jus plug mine in, start amarok, and move music to it.
when do you get cut off?
I suspect I am being hacked or a victim of Dos attacks
every couple minutes
i've never had to type mount commands, etc, it does it automatically
!ipod
For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
geeksauce, every time you upgrade your kernel you will need to recompile the nvidia driver
cows, only when i run xserver-xorg reconfiguration. other than that it's a command line
Indy, what do you do in order to move the music over? I just want to know assuming I get the rest of this working.
are you using wireless or wired connection?
wired
geeksauce, yea when you run that you will have alot of options just click next but first let me show u something
i use amarok, i don't use banshee(it never did the transfer thing very well for me)
I'm coming on through xchat
be back in 3 minutes
lol, ok
sudo aptitude purge nvidia-glx
Yes, but how do you do the actual transfer?
cows, i can't use mouse
geeksauce, you dont need a mouse
HEY GUYS. How does one import video from a sony handycam onto a computer under ubuntu?
geeksauce, you only need keyboard since your in console ( black screen, white font )
i start amarok, move the files i want to transfer to my playlist.., move them from the play list to the left, where all my ipod files are listed, then i hit transfer
hate to say i'm not sure without more information. it could be driver related but i'm not an expert.
cows i'll have to write this down... the affected system is upstairs. i'm ssh'd to a remote unix host right now
also while its in the playlist, i check the tags, etc, and edit them if necessary
everything worked without any problems until just a while ago when I started experiencing problems
geeksauce, ok, well if when you ssh into the system, all you see is console since the x server failed right?
Is it possible to link directly to a nick on irc like somewhat like the link to a channel is done, ex.: irc://irc.freenode.org/ubuntu ?
ahaha!
I'm on!
I'm on ubuntu, on wireless, on my laptop with usb drive
cows, no i am ssh'd into a truly remote unix host that i pay for access to
Now we know what to do if people have problems
Indy, and transfer is where? I looked through the entire menu.
true... oh and not to add salt to the wound
can someone help me with squid?
geeksauce, hmm you should be where the affected system is..
What wound?
3
never mind, my ISP just confirmed that it is on their end and not mine
lol
geeksauce, if the affected system is upstairs all you have to do is turn it on and when it fails enter the console
cows it's upstairs in my bedroom
does anybody think it is a bad idea to have boths gnome and KDE installed in the same O.S ?
How long is that indy?
geeksauce, is the computer turned on? the affected 1..
um, about 9hrs..lol
Nah.
cows i'm just trying to avoid running up and down steps every 2 minutes
cows yes it is on
glad to hear it.
Having craploads of libraries can be a problem, but I don't think it should be a problem.
stfuu, and get out of here
geeksauce, yea i understand i have to do that sometimes since my comp is in my room and my backup comp is in the living room
dead seroius...
i'm still laughing abou tit.
geeksauce, ok is it in console the affected 1?
How well developed is Ubuntu for doing a school network? I know the thin client bit is quite good, but if I want to put the whole school network on Ubuntu, how would I go about setting up authentication for the
lol, i was trying to see how long it took me to figure this out, and it looks like i told you first to stop using x64..
thick clients?
then i told you to use the alternate install cd... which you didn't seem to try for a while, then you finally did, and now here you are.
lol
indy, it didn't have to do with the 32bit
cows similar situation here so what do i need to type at the prompt?
i know that
thanks for your opinion on that
the thing is though, 32bit is easier to set up than the 64bit, thats why i told you to go with it.
geeksauce, ok at the prompt you first have to delete your old nvidia drivers, so you type sudo aptitude purge nvidia-glx
did you end up using 64 anyways/
?
geeksauce, im assuming you installed nvidia-glx as ur driver package?
No, most likely I have
..wait
i386
nah, thats x32
yeah..
I have a Radeon 9800 Pro and I want graphics acceleration and such, but when I goto install proprietary drivers in the administration menu, it says I don't need proprietary drivers...... soo... with a 9800 Pro, should I go ahead and try to install the fglrx driver anyways?
you won't be sorry, for the forseeable future, unless you must have 64bit powr for some reason... 32bit is the way to go, things are easier to get working
mintsoup, yea install the fglrx
thank you
np
so now what do you need to learn how to do?
lol
Get wine working
mintsoup, just make sure after your install fglrx that you set the xorg.conf driver to fglrx , then log out and press alt + ctl + backspace
geez, you go from one landmine to another.
So I can play computer games
just be forewarned, wine isn't near 100% with games, some it works great, some it works ok, most it barely works, if at all.
cows, ok, then what? (i'll write down several steps at a time)
geeksauce, did you delete the nvidia-glx?
Half-life indy?
OMG
indy
cows i will but what then
My battery life has a countdown timer
windows never did that
im not a gamer, but you can try it... http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
i think its supposed to.
mine does to.
I have 50 hours left
geeksauce, ok after you remove the drivers , you will just switch the 'nvidia' driver to 'vesa' to see if your x server will work
at 81%
geeksauce, you do this by typing sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
running off a usb drive
go to that link i just posted foor wine instructions.
geeksauce, go down to the line where it says 'nvidia' and change it to 'vesa'
why typ of video chip do you have in that laptop?
geeksauce, then there you can try and start up the x by typing 'startx'
x800
all in wonder
ATi
cuz you're probably gnna have to install drivers for it to get 3d support to play halflife.
oh geez.
ati..lol
lol
wait
ati sux
thats my PC
I have the geforce 7400 go
on my lappy
yea use that
lol
much better.
nvidia driver is well supported
ati ppl r retards.. there like m$
cows, ok i will do that. might as well take this laptop upstairs. sometimes i forget about that whole poratable thing/wireless network ;-)
i woudln't go that far..lol
lol
well i have a ati radeon 9200 full hardware accelaration and i also have a nvidia 7600 gs
you're likely gonna need to install the nvidia drivers to make halflife work
How do I get pidgin 2.0.1 to install on feisty x64?
lets get wine working first
it sux cause alot of people cannot get full support for there x*** cards
tytt
ok.. did you go to that link
installed it
see, that was easy
Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu use an outboard sound card? I have a laptop, and want to use my USB SoundBlaster instead of awful internal sound.
geeksauce, yea i just got my first laptop on sunday
geeksauce, its pretty low on specs yet it runs ubuntu well and it even supports desktop effects
easy?
9 hours?
EASY?
lol
geeksauce, bought it off my bro for $250 , it has 256 mb ram , 1.5 ghz intel celeron m
so you got wine installed righ?
geeksauce, as a matter of fact im talking to u from it atm
cow, my school required me to buy a maxed out macbook pro, so i get to work my butt off all summer to pay it off. i do love it though
I guess
if thats it
geeksauce, lol .. i liked macs but now i dont..
is wget all I have to do?
open a terminal.. type "winecfg" no quotes... then hit enter...
no...
did you follow the instructions?...
geeksauce, i would buy mac over windows .. but over all im loyal to linux and im new to it.. been using it for 3 months
no =(
Bacon|ubuntu is the wget thing done?
geeksauce, i go on windows a couple of times but not much.. im actually pretty stable now
lol,
Hi. I have an external hard drive that I am trying to get non-root users to be able to write to, but haven't had much success.
HEY GUYS. How does one import video from a sony handycam onto a computer under ubuntu?
i totally dont use windows cept for WoW, rofl
cows, i like how easy they are to use, yet they basically have a BSD core so i can still do geeky stuff with it
i dont even ping with Winfdows
lol
problemswithsony, does that use firewire?
felarin, lol i use to play wow.. played it for 1 month and i quit.. wasted a 3 month card cause i never used it..
sweet
completely agree, it's like you have control over the core of the system and yet you have what other operating systems have interface wise... and even more[Beryl, Compiz]
geeksauce, yea i dont like bsd lmfao!
geeksauce, yet i heard good things about all the bsds
1st month is boring as hell
my brother uses PC-BSD
it's got a PBI installer mode
felarin, its not even funny lmfao! got up to lvl 23 with my draenei shaman then got bored
where you download files with .pbi extensions
In breezy I replace an ISA sound card with a CS4281 PCI card. Now only root has sound. How can normal users have sound too?
and you just double click on em
My brother has two level 70s
and they install just like windows
s life
when trying to run nm-apoplet i get "/bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found"
felarin, how about freebsd , netbsd, openbsd?
the fun only starts @ 70
cows how do you like linux but not BSD?
only PC-BSD uses pbi files
felarin, yea i heard.. i have fiend friend players
hai
they are like .exe files in windows
whats a good application like 7-zip or Winrar for ubuntu?
p7zip
I installed an update and now my nvidia driver does not work
my brother doesnt do anything else with his life
or file-roller
geeksauce, because linux is geared more towards desktop usage
its sad
gggg
lol
greyfrog, it's on usb, but i can use firewire
make sure you apt-get unrar too
geeksauce, bsd is more like a port of unix
but i do.
ok thanks
well OS X is like the desktop version of linux then
yea
no
apple is like making bsd desktop wise
yeah BSD is a unix flavor
non commercial
cows yeah, you know what i mean
bluqo, if you can use firewire, use Kino to capture the video
did you get wine installed?
geeksauce, yea.. did you get the x server to work?
you can even use Beryl on BSD
felarin, thats cool
Any one have problems with any of the updates messing up the nvidia drivers?
cows, add strikes again. i swear i'm getting up this time
bluqo, you should be able to lookup some Kino directions pretty easy... might have one just a sec
you must upgrade X though, because BSD is very stable, it dosen't come with the latest releases for programs.
It comes with X11R6.7 i think
so you need to upgrade it to X11R7.2 with Beryl for the best host results
felarin, funny how i just jumped into the freebsd setup thinking it would be like ubuntus.. this was about 2 months back. after i poped in the cd and started setup it said stuff like cut slice im like wth?
actually PC-BSD is easy to install
felarin, now i know slice is partition.. they could just use standard english
yeah slice
lol
BSD people are very technical
hi, guys, which command can i use the check the type of linux-header..my system is running on
bluqo, no link sorry...
uname -a
"could not establish connection to sound server"
felarin, i should make freebsd but basically standard english instead of the normal shakespear style llol
uname -a should tell you your kernel version
uggil
is thier a way to ping a computer directly attached to you via ethernet if yo don't know its ip?
ahem
try pinging by hostname
k
felarin, or you can be very rude and traceroute them lol
!steam
so i686 means my header is linux-headers-686 issit
!cows
Sorry, I don't know anything about cows - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
WTH
i dont like ubotu
i686 is the architecture of your processor
llol
nope
In breezy I replace an ISA sound card with a CS4281 PCI card. Now only root has sound. How can normal users have sound too?
im guessing you have pentium or celeron processor?
cows ok i'm right next to my linux box now
guess i'll have to figure out how to give it an ip
do you have physical access to the machine?
geeksauce, ok cool
just edit /etc/init.d/network/interfaces
to give it an ip
ya but i dont have dhcp server host on either one
he would need static then
yeah
static
give them both static ips ?
yeah
nano /etc/network/interfaces
and edit eth0
for each PC
test
tested

Evening. Anybody good with wireless? I have my card detected and working...but with network manager I don't seem to be able to select any security but WEP. How can I configure WPA-PSK?
test
geeksauce, ok so what are you up to ?
i am installing VMware...so i am suppose to install the linux-headers..i am not sure whether to install linux-headers-386 or linux-headers-686
ndiswrapper
!wpa
Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
dudaz, i recommend virtualbox
ubotu - I'll give that a read
VMware can automatically compile the headers for you, i've got both vmware and virtualbox installed with the latest Ubuntu Feisty kernel
oh !!
cows, just purged my nvidia drivers
i get what you mean
just apt-get the headers dudaz
geeksauce, ok . is your computer booted up using the new upgrade ?
you're missing packages
hi , im having problems with vmware
helo
Felarin - I'm using Ndiswrapper to load the driver.....where do I configure the network?
everyone
I'm in need of help

to remove gdm splash all i have to do is remove the gnome-cups-icon service from the sessions startup list right?
this is in feisty
sorry, no clue..
so i named my mac hard drive newworld so it could be recongnized by yaboot
do i have to disable network manager to run 2 connections at once?
SirBob1701, no because 1 will be disconnected
there's an option to remove the splash from the preferences or administration section, i simply changed it to a custom splashscreen using a package
tryed your command..and got this... Package kernel-headers-2.6 is not available, but is referred to by another package
try this
ya but i want to run 2 at once
that's it ... i'm dead

sudo apt-get install build-essential kernel-headers
SirBob1701, cant do that

Felarin - I have Network Manager installed already. When I pick the correct one, it shows a 54 meg link, but when I try configure it says "The Interface Does Not Exist". Something with my ndiswrapper setup?
