[12:23] <neopsyche> how do i create ad-hoc internet share?
[12:24] <kgoetz> neopsyche: dont join multiple channels and ask the same question
[12:25] <neopsyche> kgoetz can you help me with my issue?
[12:26] <kgoetz> neopsyche: no, because you didnt tell either channel what the problem *is*
[12:26] <neopsyche> can you help me if i tell you what the problem is?
[12:26] <pygi> well,l ol
[12:26] <pygi> lol
[12:27] <neopsyche> ?
[12:27] <pygi> stop asking random questions, and do give us the information to help you
[12:27] <pygi> we can't help you, if you don't help yourself
[12:27] <neopsyche> I want to connect my laptop wifi to my main pc with internet connection using ad-hoc. I need to configure the connection on linux. how do i do that?
[12:27] <laga> !ask
[12:27] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[12:28] <pygi> first of all, what this has to do with edubuntu?
[12:28] <pygi> other, it is trivial to connect to a wifi, just use nm-applet and click on the network you wanna join
[12:28] <pygi> laga, thanks
[12:29] <neopsyche> I am using ubuntu but cannot get into ubuntu support channel so have come here to find support.
[12:29] <kgoetz> why cant you get in to #ubuntu ?
[12:29] <neopsyche> pygi, im not sure what you mean.. could you please elaborate?
[12:29] <pygi> neopsyche, ! there's the nm-applet tray icon
[12:30] <pygi> click on it and you get the list of available wireless network!
[12:31] <kgoetz> neopsyche: dont PM me please
[12:31] <neopsyche> there is a button saying 'wireless networks' but if i click on it nothing happens
[12:31] <kgoetz> !private message | neopsyche
[12:31] <pygi> that's not a button!
[12:31] <ubotu> neopsyche: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[12:31] <pygi> neopsyche, well, then you don't have wireless networks available!
[12:31] <laga> heh
[12:31] <laga> fun
[12:31] <pygi> this is really kindof #ubuntu question
[12:32] <pygi> please be so kind to migrate there
[12:32] <pygi> in advance, thank you
[12:32] <kgoetz> pygi: yes it is
[12:32] <neopsyche> pygi, how can i set it up so my laptop can use the internet ?
[12:32] <neopsyche> laga.. what do you mean fun?
[12:32] <pygi> neopsyche, #ubuntu pls
[12:32] <kgoetz> neopsyche: i got your PM. go to #ubuntu-ops and talk to them about why you were banned
[12:32] <pygi> there were probably reasons why you got banned anyway
[12:32] <neopsyche> kgoetz, i have tried that .. they are ignoring me and/or not doing anything.
[12:33] <neopsyche> pygi, yes.. used caps / got frustrated because nobody would help with this issue I have been trying to work out for 3 days.
[12:33] <neopsyche> all i want to do is use the internet on my laptop with wifi but nobody will give me a simple explanation on how to configure wifi devices for that on ubuntu.
[12:34] <kgoetz> neopsyche: talk to the ops, and hope you can come to an agreement. thats all there is to it. this could be considered ban evasion
[12:35] <neopsyche> I am beginning to think it is possible that many of the people on ubuntu help channels are stuck up bastards that enjoy making life difficult for noobies instead of helping.
[12:35] <laga> neopsyche: you know, people don't have to help you. people choose to help you because they want to. so going all caps and evading bans and cross-posting doesn't make it more likely to get help.
[12:36] <neopsyche> I know.. and I get annoyed because nobody will let it rest.. they are all still fighting with me and all i want is to sort out this issue.
[12:36] <neopsyche> like right now for example.. once again.. you wont help me .. even if you know how.. you choose to make my life difficult.
[12:37] <neopsyche> laga.. so you are saying I need to wait weeks for the ban to go away while I sit with no wifi internet because you dont want to help because this is 'edubuntu' and not ubuntu.
[12:38] <neopsyche> cheers.. thanks for nothing.
[19:10] <dev-NET> hi
[19:11] <dev-NET> any body can help me
[19:36] <theunixgeek_> I can't get my screen resolution over 800x600. I did the dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg thing and enabled restricted drivers, but it won't let me go to 1280x1024. Please help.
[19:41] <johnny> the driver probably isn't loade
[19:41] <johnny> you should go to #ubuntu
[22:47] <joebake1> I recently got an Intel Centrino Dual Core based laptop.  I installed Edubuntu Server on it and added the Edubuntu-Dekstop metapackage.
[22:49] <joebake1> It seems like a difficulty adding Adobe's Flash player and getting it to work on the 64 bit system.
[22:49] <johnny_> yes..
[22:49] <johnny_> that is known
[22:49] <joebake1> Is it still easier to maintain a 32 bit system?
[22:49] <johnny_> it's too much of a hassle to set it to work right on amd64
[22:49] <joebake1> Thanks Johnny_
[22:49] <johnny_> only cuz of flash
[22:49] <johnny_> it is possible to make it work
[22:49] <johnny_> but if you want it to just work. use i386
[22:50] <johnny_> still and amd64 support for flash
[22:50] <johnny_> no*
[22:50] <johnny_> not our fault :(
[22:50] <joebake1> I understand.
[22:51] <joebake1> So do I re-install the whole operating system as 32 bit?
[22:51] <joebake1> I was hoping to get the 64 bit speed boost doing Cinelerra video editing.
[23:05] <johnny_> well.. why are you running server?
[23:05] <johnny_> well it's up to you if you wanna try to force it
[23:05] <johnny_> if nothing else you an install binary 32bit firefox
[23:05] <johnny_> and then copy the plugin in there
[23:06] <johnny_> tha's what was setup at our store before i got here
[23:09] <laga> johnny_, joebake1: flash is working for me on amd64
[23:10] <laga> johnny_, joebake1: you just need the nspluginwrapper.. i think it's set up automagically, at least for me
[23:10] <laga> (on ubuntu gutsy and hardy)
