[12:29] Grey_Loki: "sudo dpkg -r wine-0.9.34" download the other one from an archive site (there are some listed on winehq.com) and then "sudo dpkg -i wine-0.9.20" [12:29] Grey_Loki: :) [12:30] oh lol downgrade [12:30] Heh, yeah [12:30] if you already have that version [12:30] you could fire up synaptic [12:30] search for wine [12:30] press Ctrl + E [12:30] I use different words for everything. I think it's because i'm English, or something. [12:30] Grey_Loki: lol [12:30] brb [12:31] and choose the desired version of the program [12:36] Mmm.

[12:46] haha what's that =p sorry i'm a noob [12:46] !md5sum | wiikii [12:46] wiikii: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [12:46] !botsnack [12:46] Yum! === jodas [n=jodas@ip073248.fscwv.edu] has joined #xubuntu [12:49] Hello?

[12:50] jodas: and do you know what wireless card it is? [12:50] ok [12:50] I have the driver and stuff installed. === esc_on_grml [n=esc@i59F744A2.versanet.de] has joined #xubuntu [12:51] It says that the driver and hardware is present [12:51] But under network settings it still does not show up. [12:51] dmesg? [12:52] My wireless card is Broadcom BCM4318 [Airforce One 54g] 802.11g [12:52] ohh like mine :p [12:52] crap cards :< [12:52] I know. [12:52] 02:08.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03) [12:52] It says that both the driver and hardware are recognized. [12:52] I have rev 2 [12:53] I'm just confused on what to do. [12:53] I have been at this for like 10 hours now. [12:53] jodas: enter this command "sudo iwlist scan" ... does that return anything? [12:53] Ok. [12:53] Hold on. [12:53] k [12:53] take your time ... i don't get off work for another hour :/ [12:54] Says that they do not support scanning lo Interface doesn't support scanning.

Sorry I'm new. [12:54] No. [12:54] laptop brand :p [12:54] I have been trying to get it to turn on. [12:55] No. [12:55] Compaq Presario V2000 :< [12:55] because on my lappy there is a button that enables it via hardware :D [12:55] jodas: what interface is the wifi card? [12:55] try doing a dmesg | grep wlan [12:55] Ok hold on. [12:56] Nothing. [12:56] Interface? You mean eth1 or something like that? [12:56] jodas: yes [12:56] dmesg | grep eth ? [12:57] It just says error whenever I try to switch over to it. [12:57] Harumpfh. My wine problem isn't caused by the upgrade to 9.34, it seems. I officially have NFI what's wrong with it. Looks like i'll have to spend a day wiping this laptop, and stick a fresh install of Xubuntu on. Ah well - it was getting a bit cluttered, anyawys. === Bon3h3ad [n=Bon3h3ad@netblock-66-245-206-138.dslextreme.com] has joined #xubuntu [12:58] It just is not recognized and it does not show up as a interface.

[12:58] Grey_Loki: a day? ... that only takes me 30 minutes [12:58] maxamillion, you have the advantage of experience :P [12:58] Grey_Loki: burn /home/max to cd-r, reformat .... 30 minutes tops ;) [12:59] My /home dir is larger than a DVD. [12:59] And I don't understand enough about the linux file organisation structure thingy to put stuff in other places. [12:59] oh wow ... yeah i don't have that much stuff [12:59] I'll be borrowing a friend's USB HDD. [01:00] I told you the Broadcom one that I have. [01:00] The other one works just fine. [01:00] Compaq Presario V2000 [01:00] ? [01:00] Yeah. [01:00] I think I have something for you then :p [01:00] Ok. [01:00] http://www.tux.org/~peterw/v2000/ [01:00] have fun :P [01:00] Hold on. [01:01] Sorry wrong year and drive. [01:02] Maxamillion(admin) you still there? [01:02] aww too bad [01:02] probably a very stupid question, but I am concidering going to xubuntu. Does it work with wireless NIC Cards? [01:02] ifconfig eth1 up? [01:02] jodas: yeah [01:02] Do you have any suggestions for me? === Odd_Bloke [n=oddbloke@137.205.210.240] has joined #xubuntu [01:02] I will try yours Arkh. [01:02] Bon3h3ad: any wireless card supported by ubuntu is supported under xubuntu [01:02] Bon3h3ad, it kinda depends on which one - if it's a popular card, it's a fair shout it'd be supported natively. [01:03] If not, you could always try using NDISWrapper to adapt the Windows driver to your needs. [01:03] sweet. thats all I wanted to know. Thanks! [01:03] Bon3h3ad: anytime [01:03] Says that there is no such drive. [01:03] I'm just really confused. [01:03] well it doesn't seem that the interface is configured [01:04] Yeah. [01:04] How do I configure it? [01:04] jodas: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102&highlight=bcm4318 [01:04] Hold on. [01:04] I have been up all morning looking at tutorials and stuff. [01:05] jodas: that is how i got the bcm4318 to work on my old work laptop [01:05] Ok. [01:05] Do you have an aim or anything like that? [01:06] jodas: i use jabber [01:06] Is that supported by GAIM? [01:06] indeed [01:07] jodas: yeah, but do you have an account on a jabber server? [01:07] No. [01:07] I do not thing so. [01:07] jodas, just so you know, the correct capitalisation of Gaim is either 'Gaim' or 'gaim', but never 'GAIM' [01:08] Ok. [01:08] Although the debate is now academic, since I think the project is now called 'Pidgin', or something like that. [01:08] jodas: actuall gaim doesn't exist anymore, they got in trouble with AOL and are called Pidgin now [01:08] rgr [01:08] jodas: anyhoo .... don't worry about jabber, just use aim [01:08] I have it for some reason? [01:08] ?_? [01:08] jodas: the name change just happened a few days ago [01:09] jodas: did you get my query? [01:09] maxamillion, what happens to the repos when this sort of thing happens? [01:09] They just completely remove the 'gaim' packages, and replace it with 'pidgin' packages? [01:09] Grey_Loki: gaim will probably just become a dummy package that points to pidgin ... just like with debian and iceweasel [01:10] Aha [01:11] accept this will probably have to be done on a large scale among many distros so i'm sure there will eventually come a point where they just say "ok, we're done ... gaim is gone, its called pidgin now" [01:12] In your guide it suggests that I remove ndiswrapper. [01:13] Do you mean just completely uninstall it? [01:13] jodas: who is that directed at? [01:13] You. [01:14] jodas: where does it say to remove it? [01:14] When it said that the installation is complete. [01:15] Says you may also want to remove the file /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper [01:15] jodas: i don't see that anywhere on here [01:16] Sorry I misspoke. [01:16] jodas: it just says "download _this_ _file_ to your Desktop, open a terminal, change directories to desktop, extract, run script, done" [01:16] It is after you are done installing it under the terminal tab. [01:17] jodas: terminal tab? [01:17] When you install something. [01:17] You know how you can click on details? [01:18] no === wiikii [n=n-ice@189.134.130.149] has left #xubuntu [] [01:18] what details? [01:18] Hmm... [01:18] i have no clue what you are talking about, it should just install and be done with it [01:18] Ok.

[01:44] jodas: no, i assume there will be a dummy package called gaim that will actually install pidgin, the icon and everything will look the same but it will load and say pidgin instead of gaim [01:44] thats stupid [01:44] jodas: same project, same programmers, just a new name because of legal reasons [01:45] Ok.

[08:08] heh, i have to have the throttling b/c my phone lines are through the 'net & i leave bt running whenever my comp. is on [08:08] so for all these gui based bt clients - do you actually need to keep the app up all that time.. and the X session? seems wasteful to me for an app that supposed to just run in the background for a long period of time === Rich_li_ny [n=Rich@dsl-243-5-61.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #xubuntu [08:09] I leave bt running whenever my comp is on as well... but since it's in a curses / screen session, I can just disconnect the screen session and logout.

[05:02] hello [05:02] Thanks again for yesterday and helping me out. [05:02] I have another question. [05:02] Do you need anti-virus for Linux? [05:02] jodas: not a problem [05:03] jodas: no, there really isn't a point ... nobody writes viruses for linux and if they do, a patch is pushed within hours to protect against it [05:03] Ok. [05:03] Thanks. [05:03] How long have you used Linux? [05:03] jodas: i can only ever remember of one anti-virus application ever written for linux and i think the company who wrote it went out of business because it never sold [05:04] Yeah. [05:04] jodas: i've been running linux as my only operating system for a little over 7 years now [05:04] What type do you have? [05:04] I have edubuntu and I'm somewhat addicted, in a manner of speaking. [05:04] AVG has a linux version of its antivirus suite. [05:04] jodas: i run Xubuntu on my machine at work, debian on my home desktop and my production server, and ubuntu on my work laptop [05:04] jodas: good :) [05:05] there is antivirus software for scanning mail that goes to windows boxes, though [05:05] Grey_Loki: didn't know that ... that makes 2 now [05:05] TheSheep: yeah, i've seen that offered from Barracuda (sp?) [05:05] Is there a manual for free out there on how to use ubuntu to the fullest? [05:06] jodas: ubuntuguide.org is good, wiki.ubuntu.com is also good, and for anything not in one of those two just search ubuntuforums.org === Rich_li_ny [n=richie@dsl-243-5-61.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #xubuntu [05:06] Ok. [05:07] I was just wondering... [05:07] What makes Linux better than Windows? [05:07] I like it alot. [05:07] jodas: its not so much "better" but "different" [05:07] it is free as free speech? [05:07] I was just wondering. [05:07] and you don't have to reboot whnr you install a new program :) [05:07] jodas: http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ [05:07] Ok. [05:07] :lol [05:07] but... [05:08] it is pretty much harder to configure :p [05:08] Yeah. [05:08] Arkh_: that's depends on your hardware [05:08] I think that's because it gives a lot more options in just what you can configure [05:08] well [05:08] even if your hardware is very compatible [05:09] you have to read through some manuals and howtos to make everything work :) [05:09] Arkh: But once you figure it out you'll see overall it's a lot easier and more robust operating system. [05:09] indeed [05:09] Although it does seem to have more than its fair share of eliteist gits, in some areas :( [05:11] Arkh: I do agree it's a little harder at first especially if you don't have a book and run into a problem setting up a piece of hardware. I literally went crazy with it at first but thank god I had another machine that was running and was able to read a lot online and get help here. [05:12] and the help here is better then any MS support Ive ever experienced. :) [05:12] well MS works at first [05:12] it is just after a month that it works bad :p [05:13] :)) [05:13] I need to stop fiddling with my laptop - it was working really well, then I fiddled a bit, and now I think i've borked wine. [05:15] Arkh_: i actually have a machine here in the office that MS needs extra drivers from floppy in order to install but the machine doesn't have a floppy drive .... linux just runs :) [05:16] I think in many cases the idea that Linux needs more configuration is just wrong, especially nowadays, and we have Ubuntu [05:16] *X*ubuntu, even more so :) [05:16] For me it is pretty much install & play [05:17] MattJ: yup ;) [05:17] well I do use gentoo aswell :p [05:17] Ah well :) === Cinnander [n=cinn@80-235-129-164.cable.ubr01.newt.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #xubuntu === rici [n=rici@201.230.243.14] has joined #xubuntu [05:18] Hey rici :) [05:18] now, distros like debian, gentoo, suse, slackware, etc. all require a little more effort but *ubuntu is trying to offer an alternative to newer users who are either scared of such things or don't want to bother [05:18] hey mattj [05:18] stupid gaim [05:18] Agreed [05:18] rici: what'd it do this time?

[05:18] :D [05:18] :P === maxamillion wonders if pidgin will make it into the feisty repos or if it will survive as gaim for another release [05:19] It's gaim, until feisty+1 [05:19] I thought it was posted April 1st when I read the news on the gaim website [05:20] MattJ: yeah... i think it was === punsad [n=david@71.237.192.184] has joined #xubuntu [05:23] is there a way to 'map' network shares in thunar?

[05:25] I never really bothered with working out a proper filesharing system [05:26] i just ended up using WinSCP3 on XP, and SSHing or whatever into my linux boxen to get any files I needed. [05:27] Grey_Loki: samba + swap is good for mixed enviroments (linux + windows) [05:27] s/swap/swat [05:27] swat makes samba easy to set up [05:27] Heh [05:27] I'm new to Xubuntu. actually looks promising [05:27] Someone mentioned swat to me right at the end of me spending an entire day trying to get samba and windows to agree with each other [05:28] I just gave up and used a sneakernet. === Rich_li_ny [n=richie@dsl-243-5-61.telkomadsl.co.za] has left #xubuntu [] [05:31] I'm installing automatix apps right now... all just to play an mp3 :P [05:32] anyone know the big difference between Xubuntu regular and Xubuntu 'alternate' ... I installed the 'alternate' version [05:32] I'm working with an 8 yr old laptop [05:33] punsad: the 'regular' version is a live cd [05:33] gpocentek: is that all? [05:33] once the system is installed on your harddisk, no difference [05:33] punsad: the alternate cd can install on a machine with low ram === Rich_li_ny [n=richie@dsl-243-5-61.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #xubuntu [05:34] I noticed that the 'editors' selection in the packages is rather scant. what happened to all the other editors available in debian? === Rich_li_ny [n=richie@dsl-243-5-61.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #xubuntu [05:34] anyone know?

[06:17] :) better that, grazie :D [06:17] ephemeros, that would only show the XFCE version though, right? === Grey_Loki checks [06:18] Grey_Loki: yeah, but i'd look on distrowatch for the versions of xubuntu what xfce versions they use :) [06:18] Baaah [06:18] Too much effort there :P [06:18] yeah, now i know there is a straight way [06:19] by the way: fluxbox uses rox to show desktop. does xfce manages the desktop and all the user interface by itself or does it use external components? [06:20] ben123is, by itself, or components made by the XFCE team, IIRC. [06:21] does it have an editor like gedit which recognizes c++ syntax?

[08:02] curious if anyone knows what part of xubuntu is configured to do this: When dragging folders/some documents from a thunar window to the desktop, the default action is to copy the item instead of move [08:03] Bugger that was sort of a dumb question. [08:03] is this a thunar thing or an xfceDesktop thing? [08:03] sylverpyro: that would probably be a preference in Thunar itself [08:03] jodas: there might even be "quick icon" for it in the top panel ... a little to the right of the menus [08:04] Thanks again. [08:04] dont suppose you would know where a pref. like that would be hiding would you? The prefs. menu does not mention default behaviour like that anywhere [08:04] hiho maxamillion [08:04] sylverpyro: it might even be both to be honest ... xfce is modular that in cases like this i'm not entirely sure which takes over [08:04] hyper_ch: hello [08:04] what's up?

[09:00] sioux: i have used1024x768 without any problems [09:00] grazie: cause i got another question to you (if you are no tired) [09:01] ben123is: yeah sure...doesn't mean I'll know the answer though [09:01] ok [09:01] grazie: here I had set vesa === varka_ [n=varkatop@p54A5F424.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #xubuntu [09:03] grazie: oh i solved it. no questions for now :) [09:03] thanks [09:03] sioux: are you saying that you have a problem wusing vesa at 1024x768 with xfce? [09:03] ben123is: np [09:04] grazie: no I am saying that I had problems using ati... vesa was the solution === frankabel [n=frankabe@200.55.139.22] has joined #xubuntu [09:05] sioux: ok I see. I wouldn't have thought xfce was part of the problem though [09:06] I will impart a curse of xubuntu soon, and want know if some of your know if the Release Candidate version will be available by the next monday [09:06] Feisty release candidate [09:09] grazie: if xfce is part of the problem I don't know... I am not a developer.

But that's only if an acceptable level of testing has been done. [09:11] grazie: thanks, then I will wait my teaching until the next week to use Feisty [09:12] sioux: I'm not an Xubuntu developer either. Just so that I completely understand, are you saying that you see the problem with gnome only or xfce only? === varka [n=varkatop@p54A5F424.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #xubuntu [09:13] grazie: xfce only [09:13] sioux: ok I understand now. thanks === bur[n] er [n=burner@c-71-56-237-100.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has joined #xubuntu === Slor [i=Slor@c-69-136-2-250.hsd1.in.comcast.net] has joined #xubuntu [09:23] hey folks [09:23] got a couple quick questions if anyone is here. [09:24] !ask | Slor [09:24] Slor: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) === e42 [n=universu@88-199-131-150.tktelekom.pl] has joined #xubuntu [09:25] first one - what is the appropriate fstab syntax for floppy mounts? it was not done automatically at install, and the way my redhat-ish machines are set up does not seem to translate to ubuntu very well. === sioux [n=ISIDORO@adsl-2-222.38-151.net24.it] has joined #xubuntu [09:28] Slor: what you have in redhat should be ok. Something like '/dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0 vfat user,noauto 0 0' in /etc/fstab [09:29] ok thanks. one machine has some supermount syntax that is not recognized, and the other has "auto" for the file system type. [09:30] Other question - anyone here very familiar with ide-tape? [09:30] I'm trying to get an old travan drive to work. [09:31] also, back on the first question, is it more proper to mount the floppies under /media or /mnt? [09:32] Slor: /media (according to the lsb) [09:32] k - thanks [09:32] Slor: doesn't really matter though you could mount it in /proc if you wanted to [09:32] right. [09:33] Slor: ubuntu (and maybe debian too) tend to use /media for most mounts. I prefer /mnt for none removeable stuff as it makes more sense to me [09:34] this may be a more general question than an ubuntu one, but it's related to my ide-tape issue... Is there any reason I would not be able to recognize a 3rd (PCI card) generic IDE controller under linux? Perhaps I'll have to move my tape to the primary or secondary to get it to work... [09:35] That question aside, I am seeing lots of conflicting info on how to configure the tape device. [09:35] Slor: is it in - ''lspci -nn'' [09:35] Slor: it is pci right ? [09:36] you know, that's a very good question. It's been so long since I've looked close at it, it could even be ISA-based. [09:36] Gimme a minute and I'll open it up. === frankabel [n=frankabe@200.55.139.22] has left #xubuntu [] === sioux [n=ISIDORO@adsl-2-222.38-151.net24.it] has left #xubuntu [] === hyper_ch [n=hyper@84-75-60-32.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #xubuntu [09:39] ok h3sp4wn - It's actually an ISA card (made by Conner, as is the drive), and it has a single floppy IDE-size connector on it. [09:40] Perhaps I need to revert to ftape for this? === Grey_Loki [n=Loki@host86-136-73-83.range86-136.btcentralplus.com] has joined #xubuntu [09:42] you might have to change the irq / base address if its conflicting with any other ide controller you are using [09:42] is it a floppy or ide ? [09:42] (ide is 80 pins) [09:43] the cable is floppy width [09:44] count the pins [09:44] or if you are sure its a floppy then why not just connect it to the motherboard ? or is it scsi ? [09:45] I have 2 floppy drives already [09:45] I use this machine quite a bit for accessing old data. :) [09:45] I'm checking to get exact info on the controller card/pins [09:47] Ok, the card even says "Conner 2MB floppy controller", so it's indeed a secondary floppy controller. [09:48] Of course, it has a number of jumpers that can be played with. I know it coexisted fine back in the day, but that would have been under DOS and probably in a different machine. [09:49] My even older drive used to have a piggyback cable to hook into the onboard IDE (it, but [09:49] not this one [09:49] Is the rest of the machine new ? [09:49] it's coming back to me now... :) [09:49] The machine is old too, but not as old as the drive. I _think_ I actually made use of it in this machine back in the day, but I can't swear to it 100% === Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #xubuntu [09:51] You need to identify the controller properly - fcc might help https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm (I use that for identifying junk I have) [09:51] It seems ftape kinda disappeared when ide-tape came along. Is the latter supposed to be a replacement, or are they completely different beasts? [09:52] If its connected to a floppy controller it won't use ide-tape [09:53] I saw in my ubuntu installation that the 2.6.15-28 kernel no longer has the ftape module available. It's there in -26 === totalnoob [n=chatzill@88.204.146.172] has joined #xubuntu [09:54] You are using dapper with this right ? how fast is the box itself ? [09:56] using 6.06.1. box is a dual P2-400. [09:58] heh - I can't even find an fcc id on this card. looks to be a fairly simple controller card with jumpers for irq, dma, and io settings [10:00] You probably will have to specify them at boot [10:01] If you can tell me what to add to grub, I'll give it a try. And will I then need to use ftape as the device driver? [10:02] It could be a card that has a floppy sized port but is different [10:04] the card has "2MB Floppy Controller" printed on it. [10:05] non standard size [10:05] IO address choices are 3F0, 3E0, 370, and 360 [10:05] Are those typical floppy addresses?

It goes on to say that if your controller does not support 2Mbps transfer rate that you might want to obtain a high-speed controller from conner. [10:15] So that explains the separate card. [10:16] If it would help, I can temporarily disconnect my second floppy and put this on the primary floppy chain. === Catoptromancy [n=Miranda@fl-71-1-246-195.dhcp.embarqhsd.net] has joined #xubuntu [10:17] Might be useful at least to try that see what you get in dmesg [10:19] I should see something there even without ftape or another driver loaded? [10:19] I assum ftape is what I'll need... [10:20] Has it been replaced by something else though [10:20] dunno - all I found was references to ide-tape and ide-scsi [10:20] and plenty of ftape references. [10:21] http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux26Changes - scan that and see if anything is mentioned [10:21] as I noted earlier, the ftape module is present for the 2.6.15-26 kernel installation but not -28.

(presuming its for audio / video stuff maybe wrongly) [10:54] i htink it's just compilation options [10:55] in .config [10:56] it has to do with how the scheduling priorities are handld more than anything else, so that userspace doesn't keep the kernel from handling sound and other stuff [10:56] I am starting to think really if I want to that stuff I am better off with 64studio etc instead of a general purpose distro [10:56] probably, actually [10:56] unless you want to learn to do everything the hard way [10:57] I know how to do it the hard way [10:57] it's still better, imho [10:57] i used to used debian...and then i realized that i hated compiling kernels [10:57] h3sp4wn, have you seen PlanetCCRMA? [10:57] which i would invariably have to do to get all my thinkpad hardware to work [10:57] h3sp4wn: it differs from generic in two config options. That's it. There are no extra patches applied.
