[12:12] Rakeer: not everything can be saved in a session [13:06] hi [13:07] need a few questions answering if possible before i venture into ubuntu world [13:07] fire away [13:07] cool [13:07] well i use xp atm and i use a kernelmode driver as a plugin for gaming [13:07] wonder if this will work on ubuntu [13:08] .sys driver - xp kernel [13:08] huh? [13:09] the xp and inux kernel, and drivers for them, are completely uncompatible [13:09] *linuc [13:09] *linux [13:09] is there any way to porn it over [13:09] damn, can't type today [13:09] lol [13:09] port [13:09] lol [13:09] ... at least I'm not the only one [13:10] a complete rewrite [13:10] but what exactly do you need it for? [13:10] steam, game [13:10] its essential [13:10] steam runs fine on wine [13:10] yes but my driver wont [13:10] what device is it for? [13:10] its a cheat :( ring0 (kernelmode) cheat [13:11] dont hate me [13:11] lol [13:11] a complete rewrite [13:11] i thought as much [13:11] same with vista aswell [13:12] stuck on xp because i cant disable patch guardf [13:13] the NT kernel (what xp uses) and Linux share no common ancestry. That means, even the formats differ, and the API's are not even near each other. First you'd have to shoehorn it into a linux module to be able to load it in kernel mode, and then, since the data structures very likely have nothing whatsoever in common, all it would do is rewrite parts of kernel memory with trash and crash the machine. [13:14] so, no go. [13:14] ok [13:14] you seem quite upto speed on this subject [13:14] Done some kernel coding in the past. [13:14] one last question [13:14] ya? [13:16] the driver is pretty much perfect in every way, made by organner not myself but it bsods a lot, i know microsoft crash report can determine the problem, any other way? [13:17] I dunno. Never hacked around in windows kernel code much. [13:17] It's dangerous... if you work too close to microsoft stuff and then write something in same domain, they can claim they own it. [13:18] all i know about this driver is it does not go through ssdt or whatever [13:18] no memory modfiication, no code injection [13:20] I dunno. [13:20] ok cheers anyway cya [14:10] hi.. [14:10] can somebody help me to recover my windows? [14:10] i cannot boot into windows after i install ubuntu [14:11] please somebody help me [14:11] is windows showuing up in your grub menu? [14:11] nope [14:11] but my windows is still inside the drive [14:11] sudo fdisk -l [14:12] this is my fdisk -l [14:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/41809/ [14:12] and this is my menu.lst [14:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/41860/ [14:13] wtf did you do? [14:13] why that many partitions? [14:14] and this is not a ubuntu generated menu.lst [14:14] what did you do with the original menu.lst? [14:14] i make my own part for /var /usr /bla..bla.. [14:14] this is my original menu.lst [14:14] i just show up the last line [14:14] no it's not. lots is missing [14:16] ok..i'll give u the exact file [14:16] hold on [14:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/41864/ [14:17] there it is [14:22] how was that? [14:24] somebody please help [14:25] indent, what is your issue? [14:25] i cant boot into windows after i install ubuntu [14:26] how did you install ubuntu? [14:26] i use same drive to run windows and ubuntu [14:26] using manual configure to create partition for ubuntu [14:27] you machine had windows on it...you took the ubuntu disk....what did you do next? [14:27] yeah [14:27] ok.... [14:27] already got windows in it b4 i install ubuntu [14:27] one hard drive or 2? [14:27] i just install ubuntu as usual.. [14:28] i create one by one partition for /var /usr /tmp /bla..bla.. [14:28] hold up... [14:28] ok [14:28] i want to know if you had two (or more) partitions when you installed windows [14:29] yup [14:29] i got 2 part [14:29] ok.... [14:29] 1st for windows [14:29] 2nd for ubuntu [14:29] are they seperate hard drives or multiple partitions on one hard drive? [14:30] one hdd [14:31] ok... when you went itno the partitioner in ubuntu install....how many partitions showed up BEFORE you provisioned them? [14:31] here is my fdisk -l [14:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/41809/ [14:32] and ..this is my menu.lst [14:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/41864/ [14:33] that is rather amusing.... [14:34] ive seen windows pretend it was the only OS installed...but never a linux distro! [14:34] i dont have a dual boot machine [14:35] so i cant look at the menu.lst on it to see what the proper verbage is.... [14:36] but you need to add a record that points to the boot.ini for the windows section [14:36] how can i do that? [14:36] edit your menu.lst to add the record [14:36] how? [14:37] what should i do to edit it? [14:37] open it with root access and type the correct info and save [14:39] you can also try sudo update-grub [14:41] do you see in the lines 37 - 43 in the menu.lst you pastebin'd? [14:41] update-grub won't help [14:41] yeah [14:42] that is the data you need to add [14:42] line 40 needs (hd0,0) changed to the right partitions [14:43] add it to about 146 ... and make sure the #'s are not there when you add it [14:44] if im reading it correctly....it should be hd0,6 [14:45] just change line 40..or need to add new line? [14:45] add new lines [14:45] copy lines 37-43 to line 146.... [14:45] uncomment them.... [14:46] on the new lines, change 0,0 to 0,6 [14:46] reboot, cross fingers and pray [14:47] ok..i'm working on it now [14:47] if it dont work correctly, you will need to boot into a live cd and modify those lines [14:47] until it works correctly...or comment them out to get the same thing you have now [14:48] ok.. [14:48] i'll try [14:48] i have never done this myself....but it should work [14:48] someone correct me if i missed something! [14:48] thanks a lot for ur help [14:49] just understand that my advise comes with no warrenty! [15:06] i cant seam to get mount a network share drive correctly [15:33] wols_, did you see anything wrong with the info i gave indent? [15:33] he messaged me unasked, he's on my autoignore [15:33] oh [15:35] im wondering if him not coming back is a good thing or a bad thing [15:35] i hate to give out bad advise [15:35] he's in ubuntu and asks the same question again [16:36] Looking for advice on webcams, anyone know of one under $40 that "just works" without any fiddling around ? [16:37] sponix, from my experience...they all "Just work" [16:38] vidd: Really? What are a few of the ones you have used that "just work" ? [16:38] however...they dont integrate with any apps [16:38] there is that microsoft webcam that comes in a two pack.... [16:39] i dont know what the actual names are.... [16:39] i just plug the usb in, and open cheese....and there is the inmage [16:40] my suggestion is borrow a freind's webcam [16:40] plug the usb into your computer and try it out [16:40] * vidd dont use webcams [16:45] sponix: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Hardwaredatenbank/Peripherie#Webkameras / http://www.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.ubuntuusers.de%2FHardwaredatenbank%2FPeripherie%23Webkameras&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&sl=de&tl=en [16:51] I'm using Logitech QuickCam Messenger - works fine. Costs about 20 € [16:51] march, do you have it integrated with any apps....such as intant messanger? [16:52] march: just plug it in and go? Looking for something that works with Skype on Linux 2.6.24+ (Ubuntu Hardy) [16:53] I plugged it in and it worked. The only IM I'm using is Pidgin. [16:53] Camorama is the software I'm using. [16:55] But as vidd said - ask a buddy for a cam :) [16:58] Hi Is there a way to modify how close the desktop icons can go to the edge of the screen? [16:59] whileimhere, yes there is....but i dont recall exactly how [16:59] I never found it [17:02] im looking [17:03] Thanks [17:04] sponix: my webcam is supported by Skype - just downloaded the Software and tested it [17:06] whileimhere, try modifying ~/.config/xfce4/mcs_settings/desktop.xml [17:06] whileimhere, make a backup! [17:07] The integrated mic is also working. [17:07] whileimhere, brb [17:13] Logitech QuickCam Messenger aye ? Did it take right off, or did you have to build a driver ? [17:14] It worked out of box - lsusb: 046d:08da [17:14] march: And do you mind getting me the full model number, part number, or whatever is provided on the box and device itself. I just want to know an _exact_ known working model before I purchase [17:14] march: That is great [17:15] Have to have something like that, so the wife can just jack it in and fire over the Application when I'm over seas [17:15] But I don't know if there exist diferent models in other countries... [17:15] vidd thanks [17:18] The only thing is that you must boot without the cam. Otherwise Xubuntu finds another soundcard. In this case i edited a fil - but I don't know which one ;) [17:19] hmm where is the notification add on for the panel I dont seem to see it anywhere [17:20] oh found it [17:20] its called system try [17:20] It was /etc/modprobe.d/snd-usb-audio [17:20] whileimhere, did editing that file fix you up? [17:20] I have not tried it [17:21] I wrote it down to try in a bit [17:27] hi all [17:28] hi [17:31] hi [17:31] hi [17:32] is there a vay to remap the right mouse button to be the middle mouse/scroll button and vice versa? [17:32] way * [17:33] Okay last question for today I think. Is there a way to make the panel transparent but not the icons in it? [17:33] I know that GNOME can do this but can XFCE? [17:33] if gnome can do it, xfce can do it [17:34] and if all else fails, replace xfce panels with gnome panels =] [17:34] wont that just make XFCE heavy and the point of XFCE is to stay light? [17:36] if you cannot get the funtionality you want with the lightweight app, add the bloat (cuzz its only bloat if you dont use the "extra" features) [17:36] LOL okay [17:36] thanks [18:32] Hi I got a question [18:32] If a driver isn't installed... How do I install it? [18:32] Tibbelit, i have answers [18:33] Tibbelit, what driver you talking about? [18:34] Casue my screen only shows 800x600 px (laptop) so there's black all around... IT should be 1024x 768 (or what it si:P) [18:34] And my wireless networkcard ain't working (connected through USB) [18:55] Anyone who can help me:)? [18:55] Tibbelit, sorry...im at work and had to take a call [18:55] no problems at all! [18:56] for the display, do you have 1024x768 as an option? [18:57] also, what does lsusb say about your wifi card [18:57] no, no option higher than 800x600 [18:58] shall check' [18:59] so "default" "800x600" and some ridiculous other setting? [18:59] or just "default"? [18:59] I'm sorry what's lsusb? First time I use linux [18:59] open terminal and type lsusb [19:00] There's default and several other options, 800.600, and lower options [19:00] so you ARE at 1024x768 [19:01] you simply need to set your bios to stretch your screen [19:01] no, I'm at 800x600 [19:01] then set it to "default" [19:02] ok [19:02] did that get you what you need? [19:02] Default is the same as the option "800x600", shall reboot later and check bios... [19:03] okej [19:03] terminal: [19:03] Bus 001 Device002: 0cf3:0002 Atheros Communications, Inc.
