[05:12] the thing is i have no clue how to do anything [05:12] where do i start [05:12] install driver first? or what [05:12] Does ifconfig show anything [05:12] what do i do, go into terminal and type ifconfig? [05:13] on their website they have an official driver for it, but i dont know which kernel xubuntu uses? [05:15] 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] yes you want to type ifconfig === txwikinger [n=txwiking@82-46-136-83.cable.ubr01.smal.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #xubuntu [05:16] if it shows up what do i do? [05:16] 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] I honestly do not remember how to configure them beyond that, the laptop I set uses FreeBSD which is a different setup. [05:17] o [05:17] I did manage to get it setup on linux, but it was painful. [05:17] 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] right [05:17] ok [05:17] well ill give it a try [05:17] I don't know if ubuntu comes with handy things for network configuration like that. [05:18] However, there was a nice applet you might want to find. I have to look up the name. [05:18] what about xubuntu? [05:18] 'Network Manager' I believe it was called. [05:19] does that come with xubuntu? [05:19] Mainly with 'ubuntu' itself, but there is no reason why the gnome or kde frontend wouldn't work with xfce. [05:20] I believe it puts an icon in the system tray [05:20] yes, it even says it will work [05:20] network-manager-gnome is the package [05:20] does xubuntu come with a package manager like synaptic [05:21] cause i would be able to install it through there right? [05:22] It uses synaptic [05:22] and yes [05:22] also which do u reccommend for an old system, xubuntu, or ubuntu or whatever other versions of ubuntu there are? [05:22] this is a really old system im gonna install it on [05:23] P III Processor [05:23] What speed [05:23] How much ram [05:23] i am pretty sure 128mb of ram [05:23] but it might be less [05:24] 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 [05:25] yes you want xubuntu, but I would highly recommend upgrading the ram. [05:25] well its a laptop, so its really hard to upgrade [05:25] 256mb or better is what I personally recommend. It might be usable otherwise, but no guarantees. [05:26] Make sure you have a good 512mb or more of swap space. === Risjh [n=rsjds@59.93.128.147] has joined #xubuntu [05:26] on the xubuntu website they say it can run with only 64mb of ram [05:26] Also - perform a memory test, it might not be windows' fault it is freezing. [05:26] im pretty sure its my display driver [05:26] 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. [05:27] 128mb was slow, 640mb was perfectly usable [05:27] because every time it freezes after a while the screen resolution will shrink and it say that that the display driver stopped working [05:28] interesting [05:28] Have you downloaded and burned xubuntu yet? [05:28] If not, I recommend you get the 'alternative' cd, I always use that one because of its low memory requirements. [05:29] yea i am downloading the alternate cd right now === bo__bo [n=bobo@dialup-4.161.82.101.Dial1.Cincinnati1.Level3.net] has joined #xubuntu === mauterin [n=saadej@cpe-76-167-226-26.socal.res.rr.com] has joined #xubuntu [05:29] its almost done [05:31] Very good, I am going to prepare some Red River Cereal for Breakfast now. === rexbinary [n=rexbinar@unaffiliated/rexbinary] has joined #xubuntu [05:32] lol ok === Acetylene [n=Acetylen@A-53-41.cust.iol.ie] has joined #xubuntu [05:41] thanks for your help === ssbm [i=user@adsl-76-215-15-197.dsl.emhril.sbcglobal.net] has left #xubuntu [] === bo__bo [n=bobo@dialup-4.161.82.101.Dial1.Cincinnati1.Level3.net] has left #xubuntu [] === pillo_0_ [n=pillo@86.111.64.62] has joined #xubuntu === aidanr [n=aidanr@83.147.134.5] has joined #xubuntu === aidanr [n=aidanr@83.147.134.5] has left #xubuntu ["Outta] === BrendanM [n=root@hor-gold95.hor.ucl.ac.uk] has joined #xubuntu [06:01] So when I try to log in, I just immediately get kicked back to the login screen.
