ddroHello everyone. I'm trying to get my WPC54g card working on Xbuntu 7.10 by following this guide. http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Networking/NdisWrapper_The_Ultimate_Guide/00:48
ddroI've made it to the point where I need to blacklist the driver that comes with xbuntu, and I can't get it to work00:48
ddrogksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist does nothing when entered into the terminal00:49
ddroand when I go to blacklist and open it in the gui, I can't save my changes00:49
ddrothere is a write error while I try to save. Any suggestions?00:50
ddroalright, by instructing to terminal to open in the folder containing the file I wanted to work on, and by replacing gedit with mousepad, I was able to complete the walkthrough. However, wireless is still not working, and the bcm43xx driver is still showing up in restricted drivers (although it isn't enabled). Can anyone help me please?01:12

Boxxxerhello09:06
Boxxxeraanderse, are you here?09:06
Boxxxeri don't think you're here... i wanted to tell you something09:09
Boxxxerplease test that Xubuntu you have on one computer which is out-of-the-box and report the bugs we were discussing about09:11
Boxxxerthe locking screen mechanism is not working... if you right-click on the panel and then choose  + Add New Item   and you select 'Action Buttons' and set the 'Select action type' to 'Lock screen' that puts an icon on the panel which doesn't work (doesn't lock the screen) if you click on it09:14
Boxxxermaybe i'll report it myself, i just don't know where can i report a bug for xubuntu09:17
Boxxxerahhh, got it: Xubuntu uses the Malone bug tracking system09:18

Boxxxerarualavi, i am writing a bug report09:50
Boxxxercan you please tell me which package should i choose it has the bug if the lock screen mechanism is not working?09:52
Boxxxeris it gdm?09:52
ablomenxscreensaver?09:53
Boxxxeris xscreensaver responsible to lock the screen?09:53
* ablomen is not sure, but it seems logical09:53
Boxxxeris xscreensaver the default screen saving thing in Xubuntu?09:54
ablomenyep09:54
Boxxxerokay09:54
Boxxxerthen this is the one i recon09:54
ablomenor xflock4, thats the command thats run me thinks09:55
Boxxxeroh09:55
ablomencause whats the problem exactly?09:56
Boxxxerwell...09:56
BoxxxerThe lock screen mechanism doesn't work in Xubuntu at all. If you right-click on the panel and then choose  + Add New Item   and you select 'Action Buttons' and set the 'Select action type' to 'Lock screen' that puts an icon on the panel which doesn't work (doesn't lock the screen) if you click on it. This is a major bug.09:56
ablomenah ok yeah i just found that myself09:57
ablomenyou have to isntall xlockmore manually :)09:57
Boxxxerxlockmore?09:57
ablomenthat fixes it09:57
ablomenyeah09:57
Boxxxermanually09:57
Boxxxerhmm09:57
ablomensudo apt-get install xlockmore09:57
ablomenrun that09:57
Boxxxerokay09:57
ablomenand then try the locking button again09:57
ablomenit should work\09:57
ablomenafter that, post a bug that xlockmore is not a dependancy of xfce/xscreensaver/xflock4 whatever, but it should be09:58
Boxxxeryeah09:58
Boxxxeryou're right09:58
ablomenyay \o/09:59
ablomen;)09:59
Boxxxer;)09:59
Boxxxerlol09:59
Boxxxerokay now it works09:59
ablomencool :)10:00
Boxxxeri'll just tell them that xlockmore should be installed by default10:00
ablomenyeah :)10:01

ablomenbut this is the first thing i found10:04
Boxxxerthis is an overkill for me10:06
Boxxxerubuntu has this app labeled  Keyboard Preferences10:06
ablomenyeah there is one in xfce too, but it doesnt seem to support my extra buttons10:07
Boxxxerit is?10:07
ablomenyou can look at xbindkeys and xbindkeys-config10:07
Boxxxerthanks10:07

DaveKongI was looking on the web for a solution to a problem with connecting to a network on my laptop and found some posts which suggest my kernal needs to be configured differently to support my card10:10
DaveKongI got these instructions about it: The 2.6 kernel includes this driver as a module called b44. It is accessible in the kernel configuration under Device Drivers/Networking support/Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)/. Select "EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers", and "Broadcom 4400". You may compile it as a module named b44.10:10
DaveKongcan anyone tell me how to config to that?10:10

kripzcan anyone recommend a good text editor with syntax highlighting, intellisense/autocompletion?12:57
TheSheepkripz: eclipse12:58
TheSheepkripz: or vim, if you are manly enough12:58
kripzTheSheep, Eclipse is well known for its Java IDE. However, there are Eclipse base language IDEs for most of the popular languages. Some are popular Eclipse open source project, such as CDT, and others are popular open source projects and commercial solutions.13:01
kripzTheSheep, does that mean theres a different program for each language?13:01
kripzOn the download page there is different ones for cpp, php etc13:02
TheSheepkripz: there are plugins13:02
TheSheepkripz: also, it's in the repos13:02
TheSheepnote that since it's java, it's slow as hell and always memory-hungry13:02
kripzhmm13:03
TheSheepbut it has the best autocompletion around, except for commercial products13:03
TheSheepthere are plugins for gtksourceview widget that add autocompletion to practically any gtk editor13:04
TheSheephttp://gtksourcecomple.sourceforge.net/13:04
TheSheepnot sure how it works though13:04
