[02:44] find the folder with .inf file [02:45] the one that came with the gateway computer. i downloaded it from their site [02:45] Then yes, you're trying to use ndiswrapper. [02:45] Diana : find the folder with .inf file [02:45] err sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper [02:45] Since it's a windows driver, it'll need the compatibility layer. [02:45] with xubuntu cd indrive [02:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [02:45] or you can go into CD and look for a folder called "pool" its somewhere around there [02:46] click on 2 .deb file, ndiswrapper-util, ndis-common [02:46] that will install it [02:46] thanks [02:46] then [02:46] ndiswrapper -i nameoffile.inf [02:47] in terminal [02:47] iun folder of driver [02:47] once you figure it out, it literally takes 45 secodns to install [02:47] ok [02:48] I put the 3 driver files and both ndiswarpper .debs in a folder on a USB flashdrive [02:48] very fast for next time = ) [02:49] sudo ndiswrapper -i nameoffile.inf [02:49] i meant that [02:54] i'm too stupid to do this [02:54] lol [02:55] heh its easy [02:55] you found .debs? [02:57] no [02:57] search through xubuntu cd [02:57] look in every folder [02:57] all i remember its somewhere in "pool" [02:57] i should have the xubuntu cd in rather than the driver cd in? [02:57] xubuntu first [02:57] ok [02:58] and what kind of wireless card is it? [02:59] linxus [02:59] ok good [02:59] linksys? [02:59] should be easy [03:00] yes sorry [03:00] wpc54gs [03:00] cool [03:00] first thing is look for ndis-utils.deb and ndis-common,deb [03:00] on xunbuntu cd [03:00] they are in same folder [03:01] i can't get the cd drive to open [03:01] ak [03:01] might need to be mounted [03:01] err [03:01] open folder or open tray?

I'm trying to totally remove [purge] xubuntu-desktop but it seems apt-get, aptitude, etc aren't working that good. could anyone help? [03:53] xubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage. If you want the entire thing gone, you'll have to run apt-get autoremove. [03:54] just 'apt-get autoremove'? no other parameters? [i'm trying to remove the settings, so i can re-install it] [03:54] xfce's settings [03:55] Most settings are user-specific. [03:55] They're stored, usually, in ~/.config. [03:55] If that's all you want to remove, you shouldn't have to reinstall the entire desktop environment. [03:56] so, by deleting everything in ~/config, will every setting having to do with xfce go? === nikolam [n=nikola@adsl-208-78.eunet.yu] has joined #xubuntu [03:57] Most, yeah. It'll revert to the default settings. [03:57] see, the problem is I can't logout from xfce desktop, I trying purging/reinstalling it but to no avail. [03:58] ok. I'll try that [03:58] bb [03:59] ...sigh...
