[03:12] Lanken: the kernel/whole OS [03:12] basically, i think your desktop needs to be restarted.... [03:12] Xs1t0ry: I'm sure I could if I had the bandwidth to download the new version of the kernel/whole OS [03:12] Lanken: what i mean is use your xp machine to d/l it and then burn it [03:13] Xs1t0ry, from comand line, type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [03:13] Lanken: or does your xp machine not have enough bandwidth?

[03:16] X) [03:16] vidd_laptop: the kernel I have (which came with a 6.06 iso) is too old to use the drivers for my software modem. [03:17] Lanken: I'm back idling. cya around [03:17] so you have no broadbrand? [03:17] vidd_laptop: right. [03:18] do you have dial-up? [03:18] yes, on my XP box.

[03:20] then edit your sources.list file to edgy.... [03:21] then sudo apt-get (or aptitude if you prefer) update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [03:21] I don't think I have a crossover cable.

[03:25] it is possible...i never used it [03:27] in the options i mustve checked 'enable remote login' [03:27] thats the only thing i changed, before that it worked [03:28] Lanken, you might be able to use a regular cable [03:28] Xs1t0ry, if that is all you changed, then it is the likely cause [03:28] vidd: yea i changed it because i was curious [03:29] vidd: now i need to figure out how to turn it back [03:31] vidd_laptop: I actually don't have any cat5 at all.

[09:23] or what setting I may have jacked up? [09:25] Hansel: is the o in the upper left-corner? [09:25] yes [09:25] click it. :) [09:25] ...a dot gets filled in... ? [09:26] yeah... sorta. with it filled in, look in your lower-right corner [09:26] ah... okay, I'm retarded... lol [09:26] ... of your screen. [09:26] it takes the app you're using, and puts it in all of your virtual desktops [09:26] I feel unworthy asking for help to get my wireless working now.. .hhehe [09:27] haha [09:27] i can try to help with that if you'd like [09:27] I have a Cisco wireless card... Aironet 350 [09:28] ok [09:28] it can detect the card cause all the lights come on... [09:28] I just cant get an IP from my wireless router. [09:28] I have WEP enabled. I just want to be able to scan for local networks as opposed to having to type it all in manually. [09:28] hmmm... [09:29] why use WEP? [09:29] when I go into Network Settings I see 2 wireless connections wifi0 and eth1... I believe eth1 is the one it should be. [09:29] what version of xubuntu are you using? [09:29] I could use WPA or something else... [09:29] uhm... Fiesty? [09:29] I just want to be able to scan for networks... so no matter what encryption they are using I can pick and choose. [09:30] right now I'm not connected to anything and the lights are flashing like bonkers. [09:30] so, do you know the command, "sudo iwlist eth1 scan"? [09:30] status and activity lights... [09:30] k... its just showing 1... the ESSID is baby. Mine is pigvomit... it isnt in the list. :( [09:31] ooh... I ran it again and it showed up! [09:31] ok... and it says the key is on? [09:31] Encryption key:on [09:31] yeah [09:32] is there a way I can get this to show up in the gui interface? I am giving this to my dad and he can't handle a command line... [09:32] i'm not sure what types of encryption this works on, and what it doesn't work on, but... [09:32] Hansel: the only secure thing I know is Radius [09:32] hyper_ch: what is Radius? [09:32] Radius server so that even the login connection thing will be encrypted [09:32] ah [09:32] WPA can "easily" be hacked because the handshake part is not encrypted [09:33] !bug 1 [09:33] For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute.

[11:55] yes, I think so [11:55] bart_17: yes [11:55] does xubuntu play mp3's out of the box? [11:55] thanx [11:55] No [11:55] But it's not difficult to add support [11:55] bart_17: but it can be easily made to play them [11:55] http://www.xubuntu.org/get#requirements [11:56] ok.. i'm a noob [11:56] No problem :D [11:56] bart_17: just add the medibuntu repository and fetch the codecs :) [11:56] No [11:56] hyper_ch, what's wrong with Gstreamer? [11:56] (Except that gxine doesn't use it ;) [11:56] vinze: I don't use it [11:56] I always see this medibuntu repo mentioned but I have never used it and I'm playing an MP3 right now [11:56] would i be able to do it even without an internet connection? [11:57] Well, you'd have to download it from somewhere else [11:57] vinze: medibuntu repo has a few things more than just the mp3 codecs [11:57] But I suppose you'll then also be downloading the Xubuntu CD somewhere else [11:57] hyper_ch, like what? [11:57] You mean DVD's and stuff? [11:57] vinze: have a look at what they offer [11:58] Oh I see [11:58] hyper_ch, thanks [11:58] i can download it here, but my old pc is in the farm and we don't have an internet connection there [11:58] OK, do you have a USB drive or anything which you could save it to? [11:59] can you get mp3 codecs without adding repos? [11:59] Yeah [11:59] AlexC, you can download the packages manually [11:59] can vlc by default play mp3s? [11:59] yes, i just need to know where to download and how to install [12:00] OK, hold on a sec.. [12:00] bart_17: if you download the .deb files you just double-click them on the desktop [12:00] bart_17: they are sort of like .exe files [12:00] bart_17, what version of Xubuntu will you be using? [12:00] ok.. where do i get the deb files?? i fiesty [12:00] ok.. where do i get the deb files?? i'll be installing fiesty fiesty [12:00] OK, I'll look it up [12:01] ok.. where do i get the deb files?? i'll be installing fiesty [12:01] thanx [12:01] yea [12:01] vlc has codecs inclosed [12:01] bart_17: http://packages.ubuntu.com --> but those are only the official repos... so no mp3 codecs === hyper_ch likes vlc a lot === hyper_ch but prefers amarok for playing music [12:02] hyper_ch, if you download vlc from there then I suppose you'll have MP3 support then [12:02] vinze: if it's enclosed I think they will play... [12:02] bart_17: how long will you still be online? [12:02] long, y? [12:03] hyper_ch, only problem is the amount of dependencies when downloading it manually [12:03]
