[06:16] everything on my dell laptop ran out of box with ubuntu except the wireless nic but its broadcom so thats expected [06:16] arapehl: frankscorner.org has good info for getting things like IE running [06:16] Consty: Yes but just my opinion [06:16] i also need to know about wireless... anyone use the new 11n under linux yet? [06:16] arapehl: np :) [06:16] mux.config is in /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/ === Jonbo [n=Jonbo123@adsl-074-229-245-180.sip.bhm.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu === gaz00 [n=gaz00@S01060015e96c00db.cg.shawcable.net] has left #ubuntu [] === whaley [n=whaley@cpe-071-068-048-109.carolina.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu === Toma- [n=lin4me@124-168-78-234.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu [06:17] skavenge, ok... so what wireless are good.. i heard something of atheros?? [06:17] tanlaan: did you install it to that location or did you just unpack it there? Installing is the process of configuring a piece of software with information about the locations of config files, executables, etc. === eclair [n=clair@203.87.185.70] has joined #ubuntu [06:18] i already configured the file === hektik [n=sadlkfj@c-67-163-120-225.hsd1.tx.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu === roostishaw [n=roostish@c-24-126-92-199.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [06:18] ic56 - i have run the script and it states /dev/hda1 - already in /etc/fstab (same for hda5) should i delete that code from fstab? [06:18] blah [06:19] jfields: dunno there i would do some web research on what is nativley supported in linux if you really want no headaches .. most (like mine) can use the windows driver and a program called ndiswrapper to work anyway though [06:19] the script is made to only be unpacked [06:19] and it is looking in the place it is to look for other files [06:19] i just had to tinker a little [06:19] Here is a good one for sound experts: How is it that sound can work for movies played within a web page, but not work within Mplayer, etc...? [06:19] which means i need to change the script to look in a specific directory instead of the directory it is in === roostishaw [n=roostish@c-24-126-92-199.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] [06:20] agamotto: mplayer might be using a different sound system [06:20] tanlaan: if you don't understand the script, post in pastebin. I'll take a quick look and venture an opinion as to what you've done wrong. === AdmiralCrunch [n=quandar@63-229-213-118.mpls.qwest.net] has joined #ubuntu [06:20] cool [06:20] agamotto: what browser, what plugin and what sound system do you have selected in mplayer? [06:20] csk: run the script with the -b flag -- it will backup your /etc/fstab and re-generate it, making a pretty decent attempt at getting it right. === ZhangZhong [n=moses@202.38.114.129] has joined #ubuntu [06:21] http://pastebin.ca/76811 [06:21] thats the script [06:21] on line 7 you will see what im talking about === BoSJo [n=BoSJo@32.84-48-208.nextgentel.com] has joined #ubuntu [06:21] csk: it'll save you a lot of work, if you're a newbie [06:21] Hmmm... Firefox 1.5, the Mplayer plugins for the browser, and I not sure how to find the sound server with KDE [06:22] agamotto: ahh. open up mplayer === ikken [n=woo@cpe-66-68-149-197.austin.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu [06:22] Toma-: Ok, done === [lnx] elvis [n=ALIVE@201.11.189.103] has joined #ubuntu [06:23] agamotto: right click the movie screen and select Preferences. go over to the Audio tab and see the driver its using [06:23] how can I search for text inside a document. I want to find a certain phrase in a certain document, but I'm not sure what the document is, only the phrase - how do I search for the phrase throughout the entire system? [06:23] ic56 - thanks that seems to have worked will reboot and see [06:23] oss is the one highlighted [06:23] <_joe> anyone know how to disable daemons/services from starting on startup? [06:24] agamotto: try selecting alsa or arts [06:24] agamotto: and then give it a go [06:24] ikken: grep -lr "search phrase" files [06:24] ok [06:24] thanks [06:24] csk: this is a poorly written script. Makes a lot of assumptions. One of them is that mux.config is in your current directory when you invoke the script. So, if you cwd is /home/tanlaan, then mux.config must be tehre too. If mux.config is in mux2.4.... wherever it was that you unpacked the sw, then it's easiest if you cd to that location and execute the script like so: ./
