Catoptromancy | maybe need driver for that | 01:53 |

Ramon | but it works the same as ubuntu an on #debian no one seems to care.. they are talking about marijuana :s | 02:15 |

Diana | i need help | 02:38 |
Lectus | what's up? | 02:38 |
Diana | i'm installing xubuntu on an old laptop | 02:38 |
Diana | the drivers don't work on it and i don't have a disc | 02:38 |

Catoptromancy | xubuntu hates my video card | 02:38 |
Catoptromancy | on my laptop | 02:38 |
Diana | so i downloaded the wireless driver on my desktop and burned it to a disc | 02:39 |
Diana | did i go wrong there? | 02:39 |
Diana | so far? | 02:39 |
Lectus | I never installed wireless. Only PPPoE here. Can't help. :( | 02:40 |
Diana | do you know how to install a driver from a disk onto the xubuntu though? | 02:41 |
Pumpernickel | Are you trying to use ndiswrapper? | 02:42 |
Diana | no | 02:43 |
Diana | i don't know what that is | 02:43 |
Diana | i'm new to all this | 02:43 |
Diana | i just know that my wireless card won't work without a driver | 02:44 |
Diana | so i'm trying to resolve that issue | 02:44 |
Pumpernickel | What driver are you trying to use? | 02:44 |
Catoptromancy | find the folder with .inf file | 02:44 |
Diana | the one that came with the gateway computer. i downloaded it from their site | 02:45 |
Pumpernickel | Then yes, you're trying to use ndiswrapper. | 02:45 |
Catoptromancy | Diana : find the folder with .inf file | 02:45 |
Catoptromancy | err sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper | 02:45 |
Pumpernickel | Since it's a windows driver, it'll need the compatibility layer. | 02:45 |
Catoptromancy | with xubuntu cd indrive | 02:45 |
Pumpernickel | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 02:45 |
Catoptromancy | or you can go into CD and look for a folder called "pool" its somewhere around there | 02:45 |
Catoptromancy | click on 2 .deb file, ndiswrapper-util, ndis-common | 02:46 |
Catoptromancy | that will install it | 02:46 |
Diana | thanks | 02:46 |
Catoptromancy | then | 02:46 |
Catoptromancy | ndiswrapper -i nameoffile.inf | 02:46 |
Catoptromancy | in terminal | 02:47 |
Catoptromancy | iun folder of driver | 02:47 |
Catoptromancy | once you figure it out, it literally takes 45 secodns to install | 02:47 |
Diana | ok | 02:47 |
Catoptromancy | I put the 3 driver files and both ndiswarpper .debs in a folder on a USB flashdrive | 02:48 |
Catoptromancy | very fast for next time = ) | 02:48 |
Catoptromancy | sudo ndiswrapper -i nameoffile.inf | 02:49 |
Catoptromancy | i meant that | 02:49 |
Diana | i'm too stupid to do this | 02:54 |
Diana | lol | 02:54 |
Catoptromancy | heh its easy | 02:55 |
Catoptromancy | you found .debs? | 02:55 |
Diana | no | 02:57 |
Catoptromancy | search through xubuntu cd | 02:57 |
Catoptromancy | look in every folder | 02:57 |
Catoptromancy | all i remember its somewhere in "pool" | 02:57 |
Diana | i should have the xubuntu cd in rather than the driver cd in? | 02:57 |
Catoptromancy | xubuntu first | 02:57 |
Diana | ok | 02:57 |
Catoptromancy | and what kind of wireless card is it? | 02:58 |
Diana | linxus | 02:59 |
Catoptromancy | ok good | 02:59 |
Catoptromancy | linksys? | 02:59 |
Catoptromancy | should be easy | 02:59 |
Diana | yes sorry | 03:00 |
Diana | wpc54gs | 03:00 |
Catoptromancy | cool | 03:00 |
Catoptromancy | first thing is look for ndis-utils.deb and ndis-common,deb | 03:00 |
Catoptromancy | on xunbuntu cd | 03:00 |
Catoptromancy | they are in same folder | 03:00 |
Diana | i can't get the cd drive to open | 03:01 |
Catoptromancy | ak | 03:01 |
Catoptromancy | might need to be mounted | 03:01 |
Catoptromancy | err | 03:01 |
Catoptromancy | open folder or open tray? | 03:01 |
Catoptromancy | right click, the CD icon and press eject or unmount | 03:02 |
Catoptromancy | happens to me | 03:02 |
Diana | got it | 03:02 |
Diana | so after it loads, i put the xubuntu disc in? | 03:02 |
Catoptromancy | ya | 03:02 |
Catoptromancy | look for ndis-utils.deb and ndis-common,deb | 03:03 |
Catoptromancy | on xubuntu cd | 03:03 |
Diana | ndiswrapper? | 03:06 |
Catoptromancy | ya | 03:06 |
Diana | it has an open box | 03:07 |
Diana | what now? | 03:07 |
Catoptromancy | open box? | 03:07 |
Diana | i clicked on it | 03:08 |
Diana | and it installed something | 03:08 |
Catoptromancy | oh click install | 03:08 |
Catoptromancy | click both | 03:08 |
Catoptromancy | install both | 03:08 |
Diana | there was only one | 03:08 |
Catoptromancy | what was exact name? | 03:09 |
Diana | ndiswrapper-utils | 03:09 |
Catoptromancy | hmmm | 03:10 |
Catoptromancy | in fiesty? | 03:10 |
Catoptromancy | you also need ndiswrapper-common | 03:10 |
Catoptromancy | http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/misc/ndiswrapper-common | 03:10 |
Catoptromancy | both should have been in folder | 03:11 |
Diana | but how do i get it from one computer to the other? | 03:12 |
Catoptromancy | flashdrive? | 03:12 |
Catoptromancy | floppy | 03:12 |
Diana | k | 03:12 |
Catoptromancy | both really should be on cd | 03:12 |
Catoptromancy | pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ on cd | 03:13 |
Catoptromancy | both are thiere | 03:13 |
Catoptromancy | 7.04 cd | 03:14 |
Diana | i have 6 something | 03:14 |
Catoptromancy | i guess use floppy | 03:14 |
Catoptromancy | or flash | 03:14 |
Diana | do i just put it in the computer? | 03:21 |
Diana | or restart? | 03:21 |

Catoptromancy | i reccomend just putting them on desktop | 03:22 |
Catoptromancy | making copies | 03:22 |
Catoptromancy | easier for future use | 03:23 |
Catoptromancy | drivers and both debs should fit on a floppy | 03:23 |

Catoptromancy | and see what it says | 03:33 |
Diana | manage ndis drivers for ndiswrapper then gives a list | 03:37 |
Catoptromancy | cool | 03:38 |
Catoptromancy | it seems to be already installed | 03:38 |
Diana | ok | 03:38 |
Catoptromancy | put drivers cd in | 03:38 |
Catoptromancy | look for a folder on it "rt2500" or something similar looking | 03:39 |
Catoptromancy | gt5000, rs4000 | 03:39 |
Catoptromancy | whatever | 03:39 |
Diana | how do i get the cdrom to eject again? | 03:39 |
Catoptromancy | right click | 03:39 |
Diana | ok i have the driver disc in, what now? | 03:43 |
Diana | it won't open | 03:43 |
Catoptromancy | right click and mount | 03:43 |
Diana | still not working | 03:45 |
Catoptromancy | hmm | 03:45 |
Catoptromancy | reboot i guess | 03:46 |
Catoptromancy | might kick something in | 03:46 |
Diana | i'm sure i did something wrong | 03:46 |
Diana | was i supposed to save it as an iso file? | 03:46 |
Diana | even the driver? | 03:47 |
Diana | i don't know what an iso file is | 03:47 |
Diana | lol | 03:47 |
Catoptromancy | its a cd image | 03:47 |
Catoptromancy | i have no clue on how you even got it to save as an iso | 03:48 |
Diana | i didn't | 03:48 |
Diana | i was going to download zenwalk earlier and was told it had to be saved as an iso and i needed nero | 03:48 |
Diana | so i didn't do it | 03:49 |
Diana | i just used this xubuntu disc i have | 03:49 |
Catoptromancy | you can burn .iso files with most software | 03:49 |
Catoptromancy | you dont need that .iso | 03:49 |
Catoptromancy | its slackware based I think | 03:49 |
Catoptromancy | slackware is not easy to use | 03:49 |

derjens | hi everybody | 03:21 |
derjens | i've got a crazy problem with my mouse... | 03:21 |
derjens | i've just installed xubuntu some days ago and the mouse worked fine... today i started the box and the mouse pointer moves VERY slowly | 03:22 |
derjens | 2 mice show the same problem... | 03:22 |
derjens | CPU usage is not at 100% | 03:22 |
derjens | do you have any explanation for that? | 03:22 |
zials | err.. try : Applications -> Settings -> Mouse Settings | 03:23 |
zials | maybe someone messed with those settings? | 03:23 |
derjens | there is nobody who could mess it up. and i didn't even call this window | 03:24 |
derjens | the mouse will move to the place it would move to with ordinary speed but this takes a long time. so it arrives at its place a long time after you stopped moving the mouse | 03:25 |
derjens | this is strange | 03:28 |

Apsenti | hello. I'm trying to totally remove [purge] xubuntu-desktop but it seems apt-get, aptitude, etc aren't working that good. could anyone help? | 03:52 |
Pumpernickel | xubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage. If you want the entire thing gone, you'll have to run apt-get autoremove. | 03:53 |
Apsenti | just 'apt-get autoremove'? no other parameters? [i'm trying to remove the settings, so i can re-install it] | 03:54 |
Apsenti | xfce's settings | 03:54 |
Pumpernickel | Most settings are user-specific. | 03:55 |
Pumpernickel | They're stored, usually, in ~/.config. | 03:55 |
Pumpernickel | If that's all you want to remove, you shouldn't have to reinstall the entire desktop environment. | 03:55 |
Apsenti | so, by deleting everything in ~/config, will every setting having to do with xfce go? | 03:56 |
=== nikolam [n=nikola@adsl-208-78.eunet.yu] has joined #xubuntu | ||
Pumpernickel | Most, yeah. It'll revert to the default settings. | 03:57 |

k | why does my copy/paste break regularly? | 09:54 |
TheSheep | k: because there is no clipboard | 09:55 |
maxamillion | k: you talking about with firefox? ... i used to have that issue and i think its just firefox because i have had that problem on multiple distros | 09:55 |
k | ah ok | 09:56 |
maxamillion | or that | 09:56 |
TheSheep | k: linux has no clipboard, you cannot paste from a program you already closed | 09:56 |
k | well theyre still open | 09:56 |
k | i think its firefox | 09:56 |
TheSheep | k: another thing -- just selecting text makes it 'copy' | 09:56 |
Catoptromancy | actually | 09:56 |
maxamillion | k: yeah, if you have a knoppix cd laying around, try it on there ... it does it too | 09:57 |
Catoptromancy | I made a "notepad" .txt on a FAT32 partition | 09:57 |
Catoptromancy | made a sn shortcut | 09:57 |
Catoptromancy | sh | 09:57 |
Catoptromancy | so I copy and paste stuff into different OSes, from same file | 09:57 |
k | i restarted firefox and its still doing it... just trying to copy a link from the address bar to a gaim conversation | 09:58 |
k | it breaks randomly... its pasting something i copied hours ago | 09:58 |
Catoptromancy | that should work | 09:58 |
Catoptromancy | right click and selecet copy | 09:58 |
maxamillion | k: yeah, you just have to re-copy it (sometimes takes a couple times) and it will eventually work | 09:58 |
Catoptromancy | sometimes program are odd about copying | 09:58 |
TheSheep | k: just select the url and use the middle mouse button to paste | 09:58 |
k | TheSheep, thats not working | 09:58 |
TheSheep | k: you might want to add a clipman plugin to your panel | 09:58 |
maxamillion | Catoptromancy: it happens alot with firefox :/ | 09:58 |
k | i normally only use that to copy from the terminal | 09:58 |
Catoptromancy | on Mirnada I need to copy twice | 09:59 |
k | ill check that out | 09:59 |
maxamillion | brb | 09:59 |
Catoptromancy | there is a task bar button you can add that is similar to clipbaord | 09:59 |
Catoptromancy | but i prefer shortcut to a .txt file | 10:00 |
TheSheep | k: this explains the mechanics in action a little: http://standards.freedesktop.org/clipboards-spec/clipboards-0.1.txt | 10:01 |
