| Jordan_U | alyat, Have you found out what chipset the card uses? | 11:39 |
| alyat | I have problem connecting to my home wireless network after I installed ubuntu in my twinhead efio 2600 notebook, can anyone help? | 11:39 |
| Jordan_U | alyat, Have you found out what chipset the card uses? | 11:40 |
| alyat | not yet, the notebook is at home...how to find out anyway? | 11:41 |
| Jordan_U | You can look in System -> Preferences -> Hardware Information, or "lspci" From the terminal | 11:42 |
| alyat | ok, what do I do after that? | 11:43 |
| Jordan_U | It is most likely broadcom, in which case you can probably just install the package bcm43xx-fwcutter | 11:43 |
| Jordan_U | alyat, It depends on the chipset | 11:43 |
| alyat | very sorry...hope do I install the package? | 11:44 |
| alyat | sorry, I am very new to ubuntu | 11:44 |
| Jordan_U | alyat, No problem, from the GUI go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources and check the box next to "Community software - universe" then go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager search for bcm43xx and check the box next to the packge and hit apply | 11:46 |
| Jordan_U | alyat, From the terminal run "sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter" | 11:46 |
| Jordan_U | alyat, Note that is either GUI or terminal, you don't need to do both | 11:47 |
| alyat | noted | 11:47 |
| alyat | anything after that? | 11:49 |
| Jordan_U | alyat, The package manager and repositories are one of the greatest features of Linux, if you haven't already a good first thing to do with Ubuntu is to go to Applications -> Add/remove and browse what software is available. | 11:49 |
| Jordan_U | alyat, No, just reboot | 11:49 |
| alyat | thanks | 11:49 |
| alyat | will try it tonight | 11:49 |
| Jordan_U | alyat, np :) | 11:49 |
| alyat | will you be around this hour tomorrow if I can't get it right? | 11:50 |
| Jordan_U | alyat, Probably. | 11:50 |
| alyat | thanks, where's your location now? | 11:50 |
| Jordan_U | alyat, Though you are more likely to catch me earlier | 11:50 |
| alyat | alright | 11:51 |
| Jordan_U | alyat, California ( U.S. ) | 11:51 |
| alyat | oic...I am in Malaysia | 11:51 |
| alyat | far far away | 11:51 |
| Jordan_U | How is Linux adoption in Malasia if you don't mind me asking? Here most people have never even heard of Linux. | 11:52 |
| alyat | still very limited number of people using linux | 11:52 |
| alyat | I am trying to migrate but many obstacles | 11:53 |
| alyat | have you been using linux for long? | 11:56 |
| Jordan_U | ~ 2 years I think | 11:59 |
| alyat | do you know if there is any AutoCAD equivalent? | 12:00 |
| Jordan_U | No, I havn't really looked but I think that CAD software is somewhat lacking at the moment | 12:03 |
| alyat | are you familiar with engineering analysis software? | 12:03 |
| Jordan_U | No | 12:04 |
| Jordan_U | In case you didn't know, there is a package called wine that will let you run windows software with varying degrees of success | 12:05 |
| alyat | oic | 12:05 |
| alyat | that may be good | 12:05 |
| alyat | can I synchronise with my PDA which is running windows mobile? | 12:05 |
| Jordan_U | For a list of what works and how well see... | 12:05 |
| Jordan_U | !appdb | 12:06 |
| alyat | where to see that? | 12:06 |
| Jordan_U | alyat, That was supposed to tell the channel bot to give you info, it seems they are having problems, I tried again more directly, check for a PM from "ubot3" | 12:07 |
| alyat | !appdb | 12:08 |
| Jordan_U | Appdb is a database of apps & help for programs that run under wine: see http://appdb.winehq.org | 12:08 |
| Jordan_U | alyat, The bot isn't even in the channel at the moment | 12:09 |
| alyat | oic | 12:09 |
| alyat | thanks Jordan...calling it a day and going home now...will try out my linux when I reach home...hopefully it works | 12:21 |
| alyat | thanks once again | 12:21 |

| jrib | lil-g-man: ok, now start firefox again and see if it is using mplayer | 06:00 |
| jrib | if it is not, put the content of the page you get when you type "about:plugins" in your browser on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 06:01 |
| lil-g-man | it doesn't play, i get that i have to install from divx.com | 06:01 |
| jrib | oh right, there's a bug | 06:02 |
| jrib | close firefox | 06:02 |
| lil-g-man | i closed it | 06:02 |
| jrib | pastebin 'dpkg -L mozilla-mplayer' | 06:03 |
| lil-g-man | in terminal | 06:03 |
| lil-g-man | ? | 06:03 |
| jrib | yes | 06:04 |
| jrib | put the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 06:04 |
| lil-g-man | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34674/ | 06:05 |
| jrib | run these commands: | 06:06 |
| jrib | sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in-dvx.{so,xpt} /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ | 06:06 |
| jrib | that's it | 06:07 |
| jrib | unless there were errors | 06:07 |
| lil-g-man | thank you | 06:09 |
| lil-g-man | how come it required such stuff? | 06:09 |
| jrib | well this last bit was a bug, it's on bugs.ubuntu.com somewhere so it will hopefully be fixed for the next ubuntu | 06:10 |
| lil-g-man | alrighty | 06:11 |
| jrib | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayerplug-in/+bug/112055 | 06:11 |
| lil-g-man | thanks again, by the way, i've got nvidia 8400 graphics card and i had some trouble isntalling ubuntu since it didn't have my driver or something, is it likely that gutsy will support my graphics card? | 06:14 |
| jrib | I'd say it's likely, but I don't know for sure. You could try a daily live cd of gutsy if you're interested in testing | 06:15 |
| lil-g-man | alrighty | 06:15 |

| jrib | I'm not familiar with mandriva so I don't know why it works there and not here | 06:46 |
| abhi_ | ok | 06:46 |
| jrib | but I setup my mice with evdev to get all the buttons | 06:46 |
| abhi_ | there is not command evdev | 06:46 |
| jrib | you need to set it up in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:47 |
| jrib | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MX1000Mouse is something I wrote a while ago | 06:47 |
| jrib | you should be able to follow the part about setting up evdev | 06:47 |
| abhi_ | ok . going through it | 06:48 |
| jrib | I have a couple of minutes, I'll walk you through it if you want | 06:48 |
| jrib | 1. you need the xserver-xorg-input-evdev package | 06:48 |
| === SeSp [n=sesp@unaffiliated/logician] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| jrib | let me know if you have questions about the part after that and make sure you know how to restore the backup before restarting X or you won't have a gui if things don't work | 06:49 |
| === never|mobi [n=neversfe@82.113.121.1] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jrib | the goal of using evdev is to make it so that 'xev' will report a button when you press those side buttons | 06:50 |
| === PriceChild [n=pricechi@ubuntu/member/pdpc.supporter.student.PriceChild] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| abhi_ | jrib : i have installed the xserver-xorg-input-evdev, still xev not showing any mouse number. | 06:53 |
| jrib | did you modify your xorg.conf like on the wiki? | 06:54 |
| abhi_ | i am not using usb mouse. | 06:54 |
| abhi_ | it is for usb mouse | 06:54 |
| jrib | yes, though some users have said it works without usb too | 06:55 |
| jrib | maybe you should read your xorg.conf from mandriva and see how the mouse is setup there | 06:55 |
| abhi_ | ahh | 06:55 |
| abhi_ | let me go through the ur site. I will contact u after the restart. | 06:56 |
| jrib | no need to restart, just restart X | 06:57 |
