[12:24] going to bed [12:24] bye all [12:25] O.o [12:25] thankee ormiret [12:26] happy to help. [12:27] so what's auth.log.0? [12:28] root's log? [12:28] an older version of auth.log, there may even be compressed even older versions with higher numbers [12:29] yes... there are [12:29] how much is usually stored in a log? [12:29] *what period of time === cycro [n=robert@CPE0040f4d45ca8-CM00195ee63a94.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #xubuntu [12:29] not sure, it's probably in the config for logd [12:29] hello [12:30] Is Xubuntu Feisty based on XFCE4.4? [12:30] yes [12:30] the stable one [12:30] whee!!!! === vidd_laptop [n=vidd@static-72-86-132-220.phlapa.east.verizon.net] has joined #xubuntu [12:31] allo vidd [12:31] no news yet mon [12:31] sorry [12:31] no one in my group is using that card [12:32] neozen, im using ndiswrapper =[ [12:32] ok [12:32] that might be the only way [12:32] no...not ok...darn [12:32] that works consistently [12:33] if you call having to switch to dhcp and back to static every time i boot "works consistantly".... [12:34] lol [12:34] put it in a script [12:34] i will really have to look into the cost/benifit of replacing this wifi card with a linux freindly one [12:35] i think im going to format and install dapper...get the bcm working, then dist-upgrade thru to fiesty [12:36] hopefully that will be the LAST time i need to re-install [12:38] yeah.... about that [12:38] why dapper and not edgy? [12:38] if im lucky, the fwcutter in the dapper repo's have NOT been upgraded to the BROKEN ones like edgy [12:38] I don't think I'll even bother with a dist-upgrade [12:38] ....I'll just whack out root and install again [12:38] been meaning to separate my home anywya [12:38] *anyway [12:40] my bcm worked great the *fifth* install of dapper.....and worked the 9th with edgy..... [12:40] but i KNOW how to do it this time..... [12:40] as long as the program is OLD enough in the repo's....it SHOULD install like a charm in dapper [12:41] is there any way to get an OLDER version that WAS in the repo's, or do they replace them when they update? [12:42] what is fwcutter? (trying to think what the dependencies would be like to install an older version in edgy/feisty) [12:42] it is the firmware cutter tool needed to get the BCM43xx wifi cards to work [12:42] you can pull older versions from packages.ubuntu.com if they aren't in the repos for the release you're using. [12:43] I think it is in multi- or univerce [12:43] its not a base package [12:44] =] otherwise, id just get it off the cd! [12:44] you might have to take the source package and build it yourself, but you should be able to use an older version === vidd_laptop will have to go hunting [12:44] why do i still have a folder named oem in /home ? === vidd_laptop wonders if his key-hunting licence will suffice to cover him for source code hunting, or if he needs a new one? [12:45] lol [12:46] ice_world, cuzz you didnt delete it? [12:46] i haveto do that manually? [12:46] acually....i dont know why its still there [12:46] looks like you should be able to get away with the binary package, the dependencies are fairly straight foward. [12:46] thought it went away after i did that command to prepare for the "Users" first boot [12:46] maybe it has an awesome recovery tool in it [12:47] what's in it? [12:47] its empty :p === cellofellow [n=josh@72.55.208.5] has joined #xubuntu [12:48] *wave* cellofellow [12:48] *wave* all. [12:53] hi, where are the autostart apps in xfce? [12:53] a script edited with Applications > Settings > Autostarted Applications [12:54] anyone know a good guide on how to setup an ftp server? im going mad over here [12:54] cellofellow, can I do it by a conf file? [12:54] maybe [12:54] cellofellow, what file is it? [12:54] it'd be in ~/.config/xfce4 somewhere [12:57] ice_world: sorry, no ideas on FTP. [01:00] question guys [01:00] !ask [01:00] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [01:01] lol [01:01] point taken [01:01] I need a way to access the web front end of a linksys router from the terminal [01:01] lynx says their front end has bad html [01:01] links2 will work [01:01] it'll display the submit button? [01:02] links2 will even do graphics in x (xlinks2) or the console framebuffer (links2 -g) [01:02] yeah, works pretty well [01:03] I just tried [01:03] links2 -g did a good job of messing up my console [01:03] you have the kernel framebuffer all set up? [01:04] if ubuntu doesnt do it by default, nope. [01:04] add vga=792 to the boot params in /boot/grub/menu.lst to get is set. [01:04] it doesn't, unfortunately. [01:04] reset should fix your console. [01:05] just added a -mode and it works fine [01:05] 'cept mouse doesnt work [01:06] you need gpm running for mouse [01:07] cello: I'll be using this on a server [01:08] ..I access it only through ssh [01:08] links2 will work properly in this situation? [01:08] ie... text mode through a terminal [01:08] ? [01:08] yeah, dont worry about the graphics [01:09] and itll work no prob === T` [i=total@pdpc/supporter/student/T] has joined #xubuntu [01:10] ice_world, ftp server how-to http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#FTP_Server [01:11] ok... thankee random === Qew [n=qew@82-69-126-225.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has joined #xubuntu [01:12] how do I tell it to only run in text mode [01:12] ie.... don't load up X [01:12] links2 [01:12] no -g [01:13] ARG [01:13] still isn't displaying the submit [01:14] router version 4.71.1 [01:14] ...but..... good news is... looks like I can still submit [01:14] lol [01:14] thanks guys === tesuki_ [n=tesuki@c-db87e455.20-0145-74657210.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se] has joined #xubuntu [01:17] incidently.. just tried it out with elinks as well [01:17] and that works [01:18] and has fewer dependancies [01:18] ..thanks much all === BFTD [n=thomas@dialup-4.246.222.116.Dial1.SanJose1.Level3.net] has joined #xubuntu [01:26] hey all [01:28] what up BFTD [01:28] hey [01:30] did you need help with someting?

[02:23] any common causes [02:24] or is it just firefox 2.0 [02:24] a crash once per week is normal ;) === vidd_laptop does not know of any [02:24] Firefox isn't the most memory-friendly program, but it can be made worse by plugins. [02:24] hmm well i setup swiftfox through automatix [02:24] maybe that has something to do with it [02:24] althow java locks up after about 18-20 hours [02:25] atarinox, what part of pa you from?
