[11:39] <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?
[11:40] <Jordan_U> alyat, Have you found out what chipset the card uses?
[11:41] <alyat> not yet, the notebook is at home...how to find out anyway?
[11:42] <Jordan_U> You can look in System -> Preferences -> Hardware Information, or "lspci" From the terminal
[11:43] <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
[11:44] <alyat> very sorry...hope do I install the package?
[11:44] <alyat> sorry, I am very new to ubuntu
[11:46] <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"
[11:47] <Jordan_U> alyat, Note that is either GUI or terminal, you don't need to do both
[11:47] <alyat> noted
[11:49] <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 :)
[11:50] <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
[11:51] <alyat> alright
[11:51] <Jordan_U> alyat, California ( U.S. )
[11:51] <alyat> oic...I am in Malaysia
[11:51] <alyat> far far away
[11:52] <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
[11:53] <alyat> I am trying to migrate but many obstacles
[11:56] <alyat> have you been using linux for long?
[11:59] <Jordan_U> ~ 2 years I think
[12:00] <alyat> do you know if there is any AutoCAD equivalent?
[12:03] <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?
[12:04] <Jordan_U> No
[12:05] <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...
[12:06] <Jordan_U> !appdb
[12:06] <alyat> where to see that?
[12:07] <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"
[12:08] <alyat> !appdb
[12:08] <Jordan_U>  Appdb is a database of apps & help for programs that run under wine: see http://appdb.winehq.org
[12:09] <Jordan_U> alyat, The bot isn't even in the channel at the moment
[12:09] <alyat> oic
[12:21] <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
[05:54] <lil-g-man> here????
[05:57] <jrib> lil-g-man: hi
[05:57] <jrib> less traffic here
[05:58] <jrib> lil-g-man: what is the output of this command: ls /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
[05:58] <lil-g-man> libunixprintplugin.so  mplayerplug-in-rm.so   mplayerplug-in-wmp.so
[05:58] <lil-g-man> mplayerplug-in-qt.so   mplayerplug-in-rm.xpt  mplayerplug-in-wmp.xpt
[05:58] <lil-g-man> mplayerplug-in-qt.xpt  mplayerplug-in.so      mplayerplug-in.xpt
[05:58] <jrib> close all firefox instances
[05:59] <jrib> what is the output of: ps -ef | grep firefox
[05:59] <lil-g-man> 9330  9277  0 18:59 pts/0    00:00:00 grep firefox
[06:00] <jrib> lil-g-man: ok, now start firefox again and see if it is using mplayer
[06:01] <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
[06:02] <jrib> oh right, there's a bug
[06:02] <jrib> close firefox
[06:02] <lil-g-man> i closed it
[06:03] <jrib> pastebin 'dpkg -L mozilla-mplayer'
[06:03] <lil-g-man> in terminal
[06:03] <lil-g-man> ?
[06:04] <jrib> yes
[06:04] <jrib> put the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:05] <lil-g-man> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34674/
[06:06] <jrib> run these commands:
[06:06] <jrib> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in-dvx.{so,xpt} /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
[06:07] <jrib> that's it
[06:07] <jrib> unless there were errors
[06:09] <lil-g-man> thank you
[06:09] <lil-g-man> how come it required such stuff?
[06:10] <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
[06:11] <lil-g-man> alrighty
[06:11] <jrib> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayerplug-in/+bug/112055
[06:14] <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?
[06:15] <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
[06:45] <abhi_> hi jrib
[06:45] <jrib> hi
[06:46] <abhi_> jrib: go ahead
[06:46] <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
[06:47] <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
[06:48] <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
[06:49] <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
[06:50] <jrib> the goal of using evdev is to make it so that 'xev' will report a button when you press those side buttons
[06:53] <abhi_> jrib : i have installed the xserver-xorg-input-evdev, still xev not showing any mouse number.
[06:54] <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
[06:55] <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
[06:56] <abhi_> let me go through the ur site. I will contact u after the restart.
[06:57] <jrib> no need to restart, just restart X
[06:57] <abhi_> yes
[07:13] <abhi_> jrib: it does't work
[07:20] <abhi_> hi jrib
