| keb | yeah i must have installed the dev libs for oss first | 02:19 |
| Pumpernickel | The -dev libs are used for development. That's about it. | 02:20 |

| gladier | hi guys, have an issue with ndiswrapper and a usb stick - ndiswrapper recognizes the device - but when i goto do an iwconfig/ifconfig the terminal freezes | 05:45 |
| Pumpernickel | Does it completely freeze, or is it just waiting for output from ifconfig that never arrives? | 05:46 |
| gladier | waits for an output that never arrives - ive checked the syslog and the kernel hasnt crashed | 05:47 |
| Pumpernickel | What device is it? (Brand, model, etc.) | 05:48 |
| gladier | its a rebadged broadbom device - same chip as the really common linksys adaptor. this one is an asus wl-169gE | 05:51 |
| Pumpernickel | hm | 05:54 |
| gladier | i thought it was interesting | 05:55 |
| gladier | i have had it set up before - i just cant figure out why it isnt now | 05:55 |

| czarny | 1. I can't seem to be able to pass ide=nodma @ boot and my dvd drive will have like 10 probes of dma before it gives up | 03:40 |

| czarny | 3. xfs is as much unsupported as possible -- I can make a xfs partition, but I'll ge warned like 2-3 times it's bad for me and later on grub install wil fail | 03:41 |

| gerro | shot his poor compy again :/ | 09:08 |
| gerro | speaking of shooting things might sound like I'm shooting myself in foot by doing this but | 09:08 |
| gerro | know how to completely erase a hard drive including grub and mbr etc? | 09:09 |
| gerro | I got some distro goob on my pc that need wiping :( | 09:09 |
| cellofellow | gerro: try dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/hda | 09:10 |
| vidd_laptop | if you are doing a clean install.....gparted should do it all for you | 09:10 |
| cellofellow | you may have to set some sort of repeat so it wipes the whole disk. | 09:10 |
| gerro | thanks cellofellow | 09:10 |
| gerro | what you mean by that? | 09:10 |
| cellofellow | well, /dev/null is only so big. actually, use /dev/zero | 09:11 |
| cellofellow | you can set something in dd that makes /dev/zero look bigger. | 09:11 |
| gerro | so dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda | 09:11 |
| cellofellow | or smaller. | 09:11 |
| gerro | umm? | 09:11 |
| cellofellow | yeah, try it from livecd and see what it does. | 09:11 |
| gerro | okay thanks | 09:11 |
| cellofellow | it will at least erase the partition table and part of the MBR. | 09:12 |
| gerro | part? | 09:12 |
| gerro | thx a lot, I was confused kept getting grub error 17 | 09:13 |
| vidd_laptop | cellofellow, did you look at that link to gentoo? and did it help you any? | 09:14 |
| cellofellow | I'm still working on it, but it looks like it'll work | 09:14 |
| vidd_laptop | ok | 09:14 |
| cellofellow | what's the opposite of modprobe? I need to start over and remove a module. | 09:14 |

| TheSheep | Chadarius: great | 09:22 |
| gerro | Chadarius: is drupal a xubuntu version? | 09:22 |
| gerro | anderodriguex: it should appear on your desktop then you just click it, are you having trouble with a specific application? | 09:23 |
| Chadarius | gerro: not sure what you mean exactly... is there a drupal package? Yeah there is one in the repos | 09:23 |
| TheSheep | Chadarius: you can get the thing I checked out from the ubuntu repos and recolored at http://atos.wmid.amu.edu.pl/~sheep/website2007.tar.gz | 09:23 |

| anderodriguex | TheSheep: so, i can't play it | 09:24 |
| TheSheep | Chadarius: ah, gread, the host is vidd's though :) | 09:24 |
| gerro | anderodriguex: use a media player to play it | 09:24 |
| TheSheep | anderodriguex: you can play it with an audio player | 09:24 |
| anderodriguex | gerro: no, don't plays because an mounting error | 09:24 |
| TheSheep | anderodriguex: they have a separate option to play a cd, you don't mount it for playing | 09:24 |
| Chadarius | TheSheep: OK... are you also going to work on it, or are you just supplying the graphics? | 09:24 |
| anderodriguex | ok, so how can i reproduce an audio cd? | 09:25 |
| gerro | Chadarius: it has graphics too? | 09:25 |
| Chadarius | anderodriguex: cdrecord would work | 09:25 |
| gerro | I would just use k3b | 09:25 |
| TheSheep | Chadarius: this is something I started doing for feisty, but never had time to finish -- I'm even shorter on time now, but I will gladly answer any questions and help with anything hard | 09:25 |
| cellofellow | vidd_laptop: those gentoo instructions aren't working. | 09:26 |
| anderodriguex | Chadarius: sudo apt-get install cdrecord? | 09:26 |
| gerro | anderodriguex: or open synaptic and search for it :) | 09:26 |
| Chadarius | anderodriguex: if it isn't already there yeah | 09:26 |
| TheSheep | anderodriguex: k3b is for recording cds | 09:26 |
| Chadarius | anderodriguex: I've never had to install cdrecord directly | 09:26 |
| TheSheep | anderodriguex: same with cdrecord | 09:27 |
| Chadarius | crap its not cdrecord | 09:27 |
| TheSheep | anderodriguex: I use audacious for playing cds, but you can use mostly anything | 09:27 |
| TheSheep | anderodriguex: xmms, bmp and audacious look like winamp and can even use its skins | 09:28 |
| cellofellow | audacious > bmp > xmms | 09:28 |
| TheSheep | cellofellow: if you're comparing age... | 09:29 |
