| maxamillion | cryosphere: well it sounds to me like (with the internet issue) that the wireless card is just taking over ... so do "sudo ifup eth0" and then "sudo dhclient eth0" | 06:17 |

| danboid | Thats strange- it seems to be working fine now. Didn't last time I tried | 11:30 |

| danboid | The xfce menu editor in xubuntu 6.10 doesn't display any of the entries except for the quit and settings sub-menu. How do I edit all the other sub-menus (Accessories, Graphics, Multimedia etc etc) | 11:33 |
| danboid | or are they strictly auto-generated? | 11:34 |
| gpocentek | they are generated using the .desktop files sitting in /usr/share/applications | 11:35 |
| danboid | so I just delete/add files from there then? Can you not do this from the menu editor? | 11:36 |
| gpocentek | you need to add/remove files | 11:37 |
| danboid | I'm very happy with xubuntu overall, there is just one thing missing that I liked about nautilus and konq and that is that they both had image resizing (imagemagick) plugins. I don't suppose i can get something similar for thunar or does anyone know of a standalone graphical batch image resizing tool? | 11:40 |
| gpocentek | gimp :) | 11:41 |
| danboid | Yes, gimp has a batch resizing plugin but it didn't work last time I tried it | 11:42 |
| kalikiana | danboid, you might try gqview or mirage if you want quick images edits | 11:42 |

| killerk | hello everone | 05:08 |
| killerk | i am in need of help, i have a Netgear MA521 Wireless card but have no clue how to install it | 05:09 |
| killerk | can someone help me | 05:09 |
| jdrake | ndiswrapper would be a good start | 05:10 |
| jdrake | It willl wrap the windows driver that is provided with the card. | 05:10 |
| jdrake | It is not fool proof mind you. | 05:10 |
| jdrake | I have had only good luck with it when using the latest version. But that was many months ago. | 05:10 |
| ssbm | but i was reading online and it says that they have an official linux driver for my chipset | 05:11 |
| ssbm | RealTek 8180L | 05:11 |
| jdrake | ok, good luck with it :P | 05:11 |
| jdrake | If ifconfig shows your card then luck you. | 05:11 |
| ssbm | the thing is i have no clue how to do anything | 05:12 |
| ssbm | where do i start | 05:12 |
| ssbm | install driver first? or what | 05:12 |
| jdrake | Does ifconfig show anything | 05:12 |
| ssbm | what do i do, go into terminal and type ifconfig? | 05:12 |
| ssbm | on their website they have an official driver for it, but i dont know which kernel xubuntu uses? | 05:13 |
| ssbm | also i currently have not installed xubuntu on the system with the wireless card, i just want instructions on how to do it so that way when i do install it i know how to get internet | 05:15 |
| jdrake | yes you want to type ifconfig | 05:15 |
| === txwikinger [n=txwiking@82-46-136-83.cable.ubr01.smal.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| ssbm | if it shows up what do i do? | 05:16 |
| jdrake | The plain truth here: If it has a driver for it (that is a native kernel driver) then it would be included and automatically detected. If not, then it might be in the restricted modules package. Otherwise you would use ndiswrapper. | 05:16 |
| jdrake | I honestly do not remember how to configure them beyond that, the laptop I set uses FreeBSD which is a different setup. | 05:16 |
| ssbm | o | 05:17 |
| jdrake | I did manage to get it setup on linux, but it was painful. | 05:17 |
| ssbm | so your saying if an official driver for it exists then i should just be able to plug it in and use it? | 05:17 |
| jdrake | right | 05:17 |
| ssbm | ok | 05:17 |
| ssbm | well ill give it a try | 05:17 |
| jdrake | I don't know if ubuntu comes with handy things for network configuration like that. | 05:17 |
| jdrake | However, there was a nice applet you might want to find. I have to look up the name. | 05:18 |
| ssbm | what about xubuntu? | 05:18 |
| jdrake | 'Network Manager' I believe it was called. | 05:18 |
| ssbm | does that come with xubuntu? | 05:19 |
| jdrake | Mainly with 'ubuntu' itself, but there is no reason why the gnome or kde frontend wouldn't work with xfce. | 05:19 |
| jdrake | I believe it puts an icon in the system tray | 05:20 |
| jdrake | yes, it even says it will work | 05:20 |
| jdrake | network-manager-gnome is the package | 05:20 |
| ssbm | does xubuntu come with a package manager like synaptic | 05:20 |
| ssbm | cause i would be able to install it through there right? | 05:21 |
| jdrake | It uses synaptic | 05:22 |
| jdrake | and yes | 05:22 |
| ssbm | also which do u reccommend for an old system, xubuntu, or ubuntu or whatever other versions of ubuntu there are? | 05:22 |
| ssbm | this is a really old system im gonna install it on | 05:22 |
| ssbm | P III Processor | 05:23 |
| jdrake | What speed | 05:23 |
| jdrake | How much ram | 05:23 |
| ssbm | i am pretty sure 128mb of ram | 05:23 |
| ssbm | but it might be less | 05:23 |
| ssbm | i bareley ever use it since currently it has xp on it and whenever i try to do something it freezes, which is the reason why i want to use xubuntu because i heard it runs better on older machines | 05:24 |
| jdrake | yes you want xubuntu, but I would highly recommend upgrading the ram. | 05:25 |
| ssbm | well its a laptop, so its really hard to upgrade | 05:25 |
| jdrake | 256mb or better is what I personally recommend. It might be usable otherwise, but no guarantees. | 05:25 |
| jdrake | Make sure you have a good 512mb or more of swap space. | 05:26 |
| === Risjh [n=rsjds@59.93.128.147] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| ssbm | on the xubuntu website they say it can run with only 64mb of ram | 05:26 |
| jdrake | Also - perform a memory test, it might not be windows' fault it is freezing. | 05:26 |
| ssbm | im pretty sure its my display driver | 05:26 |
| jdrake | They can say anything they want, I can't contradict them as i have no tried it. I just know how easily it ran on a P2-400 with 640mb of ram compared with 128mb. | 05:26 |
| jdrake | 128mb was slow, 640mb was perfectly usable | 05:27 |
| ssbm | because every time it freezes after a while the screen resolution will shrink and it say that that the display driver stopped working | 05:27 |
| jdrake | interesting | 05:28 |
| jdrake | Have you downloaded and burned xubuntu yet? | 05:28 |
| jdrake | If not, I recommend you get the 'alternative' cd, I always use that one because of its low memory requirements. | 05:28 |
| ssbm | yea i am downloading the alternate cd right now | 05:29 |

| grazie | RememberPOL: You have a nvidia card? What updates have you made to your machine? | 11:27 |
| RememberPOL | Yes I have an nvidia card and I have made no updates to anything in quite a long time... | 11:28 |
