| mooch337 | Knome if you are here I need help! | 01:44 |
|---|---|---|
| mooch337 | Hi Charlie you probably don't remeber me but I need your help with 8.10 if you can | 01:45 |
| mooch337 | or can anyone help me | 01:46 |
| th0r | mooch337: maybe if you tell us what the problem is (in detail) someone can tell you if they can help | 01:47 |
| mooch337 | I have a dial up modem and can't get it configured used wvdialconf no modem detected | 01:48 |
| th0r | mooch337: is the modem internal? | 01:49 |
| mooch337 | yes | 01:49 |
| th0r | mooch337: open a terminal and type 'lspci'. That will give you a list of devices, see if the modem is among them | 01:50 |
| mooch337 | ok give me a sec I am using my win box bbrb | 01:50 |
| mooch337 | The modem is there | 01:51 |
| th0r | mooch337: can you see what device it is? It should be something like ttyS0 or maybe ttyS1 | 01:52 |
| mooch337 | ummm let me see... | 01:52 |
| mooch337 | Modem: Pctel Inc. HSP Micromodem 56 | 01:54 |
| th0r | mooch337: ok...try this...in the terminal type 'ls -l /dev/modem' | 01:54 |
| mooch337 | alright hang on | 01:54 |
| mooch337 | ls-l command not found | 01:56 |
| th0r | mooch337: there is a space betwee ls and -l | 01:57 |
| mooch337 | I tried that too and said no such file or directory let me try it again | 01:57 |
| th0r | mooch337: ok...if it says no file or directory then the link isn't there. | 01:57 |
| th0r | mooch337: try this....in the terminal type 'cat /var/log/messages | grep modem' | 01:58 |
| mooch337 | cannot access /dev/modem | 01:58 |
| mooch337 | quotation in between? | 01:59 |
| th0r | mooch337: no quotes. | 01:59 |
| mooch337 | ok | 02:00 |
| mooch337 | brb let me try this | 02:00 |
| mooch337 | then what | 02:02 |
| mooch337 | do I need to type something else afterwards? | 02:04 |
| th0r | mooch337: if it returned with nothing then the modem wasn't discovered...which doesn't surprise me. The bad news...it is a winmodem, and they are unsupported. The good news, there IS a driver for ubuntu for them | 02:04 |
| mooch337 | Yeah I know I dealt with it on Dapper Drake | 02:04 |
| th0r | mooch337: you can find it here.....http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux/....but it needs to be compiled so you need to install the gcc compiler, kernel sources, and such. | 02:04 |
| mooch337 | So once I download the driver what do I do next | 02:05 |
| th0r | mooch337: the README file in the tar.gz looks to have a pretty good set of instructions on how to compile it and install it. | 02:05 |
| mooch337 | ok | 02:05 |
| th0r | mooch337: I did this for a winmodem once a couple of years back and it went pretty well...wasn't too hard to get working | 02:06 |
| mooch337 | here's a question which driver is going to be the right one though | 02:06 |
| th0r | mooch337: the one labeled for Ubuntu | 02:06 |
| mooch337 | but the kernel is a different version does it matter | 02:07 |
| th0r | mooch337: it is the best bet you are going to have at getting the modem to work. I would expect it to work since it will be compiled against the kernel source for YOUR kernel version | 02:07 |
| th0r | mooch337: just so you know...I googled 'Pctel Inc. HSP Micromodem 56 in ubuntu' and found quite a bit of information about getting that modem to work. | 02:09 |
| mooch337 | what about how get everything set up on the desktop since network tools was omitted | 02:09 |
| th0r | mooch337: I don't understand the question | 02:10 |
| mooch337 | The Network box for dial up cannot be found so do you know other ways to get the ISP info in a configured box for dial up? | 02:11 |
| th0r | mooch337: I haven't worked with dialup in years, and not at all on an ubuntu install, sorry | 02:12 |
| mooch337 | I wish I had highspeed I wouldn't be going through this headache | 02:12 |
| th0r | mooch337: I would expect the network box to show up once you get the modem driver installed and the system recognizes there is a modem there | 02:12 |
| mooch337 | I hope or may have to use wvdialconf | 02:13 |
| th0r | mooch337: another approach might be to use the windows drivers with ndiswrapper. I have never tried that, but you might see if there is any info on the web about it | 02:13 |
| th0r | mooch337: I have used wvdial and it works well, but won't do anything until the modem is running properly | 02:13 |
| mooch337 | hmmmm thats interesting didn't think about that | 02:13 |
| mooch337 | true very true | 02:13 |
| mooch337 | ndiswrapper how does it work | 02:14 |
| th0r | mooch337: you need the drivers for windows, then you install ndiswrapper (it might already be there...I'm not sure). In a terminal you type ndiswrapper -i (filename) where filename is the .inf file for the driver | 02:15 |
| mooch337 | is ndiswrapper used with conjunction with a winmodem maybe? | 02:16 |
| th0r | mooch337: I have never done it, but you might find info on the web from someone who has | 02:16 |
| mooch337 | ok I'll check into then well let me try gettin the drivers and if I run into some trouble I'll comeback Thanks for your help thOr I really appreciate it! | 02:18 |
| th0r | mooch337: there appears to be a mailing list for the modem, so you might find help there...archives.linmodems.org | 02:18 |
| mooch337 | yeah I am gonna need it these modems hate cupsys | 02:18 |
| th0r | mooch337: I haven't used a modem in years. This laptop doesn't have one, but I have a pcmcia modem if I ever need it. | 02:19 |
| mooch337 | yeah Highspeed is the ticket nowadays | 02:19 |
| th0r | mooch337: wireless | 02:19 |
| mooch337 | that too | 02:20 |
| mooch337 | I am gonna network these boxes evenually when I do get Highspeed I can't DSL nor Cable so I have to settle for satellite | 02:21 |
| mooch337 | get | 02:21 |
| mooch337 | from what I heard satellite has its ups and downs but that's all I can get well let me get going | 02:22 |
| th0r | mooch337: check and see if you have a wireless isp around. My last job was working as a network admin for one. We could get high speed service to rural areas via the same wifi you use in the house | 02:22 |
| mooch337 | isp wireless in a rural area ? | 02:23 |
| th0r | mooch337: yeah. We had a wifi hub on top of the water towers in the area north and east of Dallas. We could wifi a connection 7 miles or more so long as the house could SEE the top of the water tower | 02:24 |
| mooch337 | I know theres a cellphone tower close by | 02:24 |
| th0r | mooch337: where are you located? | 02:24 |
| mooch337 | in Mississippi | 02:24 |
| mooch337 | the tower is not too far from us and it was built for lack of communication during Katrina | 02:25 |
| th0r | mooch337: might have one around. In areas like Arkansas or Missouri maybe not...the trees would be a problem. But in MS it isn't so hilly so you might have such service available | 02:25 |
| mooch337 | I'll check and see | 02:26 |
| mooch337 | well let me go thanks for your help thOr | 02:26 |
| th0r | good luck mooch337 | 02:27 |
| mooch337 | I am gonna need it | 02:27 |
| mooch337 | take care | 02:27 |

| mellys | helo | 11:23 |
| mellys | need help for compiz on xubuntu | 11:25 |
| mellys | anyone online? | 11:25 |
| TheSheep | no | 11:25 |
| kora-chan | mellys: no one here *g* | 11:25 |
| TheSheep | !compiz | mellys | 11:25 |
| ubottu | mellys: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 11:25 |
| Paddy_EIRE | mellys: as I said compiz on that computer is most likely not going to work | 11:26 |
| mellys | just wana try | 11:26 |
| Paddy_EIRE | it already failed.. you tried | 11:27 |
| mellys | it failed on the nvidia driver | 11:27 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !nvidia | 11:27 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 11:27 |
| Paddy_EIRE | mellys: How did that go? | 11:42 |

| muttman | I dot see any panel. I have upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 | 12:03 |
| muttman | any extra settings needed? | 12:04 |
| TheSheep | alt+f2 and type 'xfce4-panel' | 12:05 |
| muttman | why by default it has not come | 12:05 |
| SiDi | !paste | 12:06 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 12:06 |
| SiDi | muttman: please paste your .xsession-errors file here | 12:06 |
| TheSheep | no idea, it probably crashed | 12:06 |
| muttman | ok | 12:06 |
| SiDi | and also, you might have to clear your session cache and xfce config if it happens again on next boot (for that, just "rm -r ~/.cache", and "mv .config/xfce4 .config/xfce4backup", from shell (ctrl+alt+f1 to go to shell mode)) | 12:07 |
| SiDi | err. | 12:07 |
| SiDi | whatever then | 12:07 |
| jagadeesh | Sidi: http://pastebin.com/f3813195b | 12:12 |
| jagadeesh | Sidi: did it hint anything why panel is not appearing? | 12:15 |
| SiDi | wow | 12:17 |
| SiDi | go to shell with ctrl+alt+f1, and please type the following commands | 12:17 |
| SiDi | "rm -r ~/.cache", and "mv .config/xfce4 .config/xfce4backup" | 12:17 |
| SiDi | oh, before, type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 12:17 |
| SiDi | and after you typed those two commands, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 12:17 |
| jagadeesh | ok | 12:17 |
| SiDi | with that you'll boot with a clear new xfce4 session | 12:17 |

| Mooch188 | is ttyS1 a correct fonfiguration for a dial up modem? | 14:17 |
| TheSheep | depends on where you connected it | 14:18 |
| TheSheep | ttyS1 is com2 | 14:18 |
| mikechelen | floating, try searching forums for those models, heard mixed issues | 14:19 |
| fwerneburg | hi there | 14:19 |
| fwerneburg | can anyone help me with an xorg issue on a thinkpad? | 14:20 |
| Mooch188 | TheSheep is there a way to look up where my modem is set at? | 14:21 |
| TheSheep | Mooch188: yes, follow the cable that sticks out of it, and see to which socket on the computer it is connected, then read what's written next to that socket. | 14:22 |
| Mooch188 | hmmm ok brb | 14:23 |
| Who | Hello. I have just installed Xubuntu and I am surprised that my volume keys don't do anything (Jaunty). in XEV the _do_ provide XF86AusioRaiseVolume or LowerVolume but nothing happens when I press them. Is this supposed to happen? | 14:29 |
| Who | Do other people have working volume keys OOTB? | 14:29 |
| Mooch188 | TheSheep I couldn't see any kindof number the PCI slot the modem is located is the 5th slot | 14:29 |
| Mooch188 | when I installed the drivers for the modem the terminal told me where it was located but how do I located with the terminal | 14:30 |
| Mooch188 | How do you check in the terminal to see where your modem is set at | 14:37 |
| TheSheep | Mooch188: ah, so it's a pci modem | 14:42 |
| TheSheep | Mooch188: try lspci | 14:42 |
| Mooch188 | ok | 14:42 |
| TheSheep | dmesg | tail might also show you something relevant | 14:43 |
| Mooch188 | 00:06 ? | 14:47 |
| Mooch188 | 00:06 Pctel 56 Micromodem | 14:47 |
| Mooch188 | let me try the other | 14:47 |
| Mooch188 | ok got it! | 14:49 |
| Mooch188 | ttsyS | 14:49 |
| Mooch188 | is that the same as ttyS1 | 14:49 |
| TheSheep | no | 14:53 |
| Mooch188 | TheSheep its located in ttyS | 14:54 |
| TheSheep | it has the letetrs s and y switched and lacks a 1 | 14:54 |
| Mooch188 | the configuration screen is asking me to choose the port | 14:54 |
| Mooch188 | my modem is at dev/ttyS | 14:55 |
| TheSheep | /dev/ttyS0 or 1 or 2 or 3 most likely | 14:56 |
| TheSheep | there is no ttyS | 14:56 |
| Mooch188 | hmmm when I ran the command you gave me it located the modem at ttyS | 14:57 |
| Mooch188 | TheSheep ok ttyS_PCTEL0 | 14:59 |
| Mooch188 | is that ttyS0? | 15:00 |
| TheSheep | no | 15:01 |
| TheSheep | but it might exist | 15:01 |
| TheSheep | try it | 15:01 |
| Mooch188 | ok | 15:03 |
| abra | wtf? http://itmages.ru/view.php?action=view&id=4943&key=adf1de | 15:24 |
| Mooch188 | TheSheep question for you I have installed my modem drivers one problem I have is trying to edit my dial up info when I enter my info with gedit I get an I?O error and the error is failed to write to State file | 15:47 |
| Mooch188 | How do i replace the gedit file and have it saved without getting a error? | 15:52 |
| genii | Mooch188: What command are you using which is giving you this? Something like: gksu gedit /etc/ppp/peers/provider or something? | 15:54 |
| Mooch188 | sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf | 15:56 |
| Mooch188 | I type this commmand out and save my settings then the terminal pops up with a error | 15:57 |
| Mooch188 | I wonder if when I installed my drivers I didn't change my directory back to the driver instead of src would it have made a difference | 15:58 |
| Mooch188 | when I was installing my drivers I was suppose to type cd ../ | 15:59 |
| genii | "I/O error" of any kind usually hints toward hardware fail. But also, you should not use "sudo" with graphical applications. With gtk apps like gedit, use gksu. | 15:59 |
| Mooch188 | hmmmm so should I replace sudo with gksu? | 16:00 |
| Mooch188 | you think the drivers were not installed correctly? | 16:01 |
| Mooch188 | thats my hunch | 16:03 |
| pIsIq | how can i activate the remote desktop ? | 16:08 |
| genii | Mooch188: When is the last time you scanned your drive for errors? | 16:13 |
| Mooch188 | I haven't in a little while I just did the install of 8.10 | 16:15 |
| Mooch188 | What I don't understand is how before I saved the gedit with no errors and now a error pops up | 16:17 |
| pIsIq | how can i activate the remote desktop ? i cant find the remote desktop set up just the viewer | 16:17 |
| genii | Mooch188: As I think I've already said. I/O error almost always means hardware failure of some kind. | 16:17 |
| Mooch188 | as you know 8.10 does not have the Network box like the previous versions did | 16:18 |
| genii | bad disk sectors, etc etc | 16:18 |
| Mooch188 | hmmmm | 16:18 |
| Mooch188 | I may try the drivers again sometimes my computer pops up with bad sectors and then corrects them but I may be wrong | 16:19 |
| Mooch188 | I didn't have a problem with 8.10 install like I did before with the other drive I had | 16:20 |
| Mooch188 | the other drive I installed dapper drake and after a while the drive pretty much died | 16:20 |
| Mooch188 | couldn't run certain programs and just a lot of lock ups | 16:21 |
| Mooch188 | I am gonna try the drivers one more time just to make sure because I think by me not changing my directory back from src to the modem driver dir might have caused a problem | 16:23 |
| Mooch188 | According to my instructions that were posted for the older driver I had before I was suppose to drop down to the modem directory | 16:24 |
| Mooch188 | genii: brb let try this again | 16:25 |
| Mooch188 | genii: my usb card is conflicting | 16:43 |
| Mooch188 | I bought a Startech USB card and I thought maybe linux might create a driver but its conflicting and I have a bad feeling its not compatibile | 16:46 |
| Mooch188 | I probably need to see if can find some drivers for it? | 16:47 |
| Who | Do you guys have working Volume keys OOTB? | 16:58 |
| ruadh | Hi | 17:03 |
| ruadh | How do I open a .bin file? | 17:03 |
| premorphos | Q: is there any easy and user friendly program to brake encryptation and gain acsses to a wifi router. i have a legimit reason im much willing to tell. | 17:10 |
| Who | ruadh: .bin could mean a number of things. Where is the file from, what is it? | 17:13 |
| premorphos | well i realise this is quite a hot potato.. | 17:20 |
| Mooch188 | I thought USB PCI cards were all compatible with linux | 17:26 |
| Mooch188 | My modem won't run because of my USB card go figure | 17:27 |
| _Pete_ | premorphos: what do you mean exactly? don't you get access to wifirouter by logging in to it via www-browser? | 17:28 |
| _Pete_ | in case you know login/passwd | 17:28 |
| Mooch188 | genii: you were right as sooon as I rebooted up came on a resource conflicting and its the usb card | 17:29 |
| Mooch188 | my modem is in pci slot # 1 | 17:29 |
| Mooch188 | I need to remember to read and make sure whatever I buy is compatible with Linux sucks being a newbie | 17:30 |
| premorphos | i do? how?.. what i rely need is to go online. | 17:31 |
| _Pete_ | by using someones wifi without permission? | 17:32 |
| premorphos | NO its my dads, but he had some one set it up, and my dad has never used a computer. | 17:33 |
| premorphos | so he tells me i can use the brodeband as much as i like. but there is a problem, how since its encrypted | 17:35 |
| _Pete_ | and why exactly that's a problem? | 17:36 |
| premorphos | how can i get online if i dont have the key? | 17:38 |
| _Pete_ | and your dad doesn't tell you that? | 17:39 |
| MalfermitaKodo | Hi Xubuntuistoj! | 17:39 |
| premorphos | btw tnx for taking your time. he ses there is no password. so i gess no | 17:40 |

| MalfermitaKodo | Can anyone here explain/link me to an explanation on how I can install PCF or BDF fonts? the tutorials I found were really deprecated | 17:41 |
| premorphos | ok sweet...how? | 17:41 |
| premorphos | by cable? | 17:41 |
| _Pete_ | read the routers manual | 17:41 |
| _Pete_ | or do some smart googling | 17:41 |
| premorphos | absolutly.. its in turkish,, since im visiting from sweden. | 17:42 |
| MalfermitaKodo | an IP is an IP even in Turkish | 17:43 |
| premorphos | pete: il google.. i realyse im sounding a bit daft by now.. | 17:43 |
| premorphos | ha ha i supose | 17:43 |

| _Pete_ | :) | 17:46 |
| TeXnicer | pre.. depending on the router its default... like if its a Fritz! Box you can usually access by cable ant URL: fritz.box | 17:48 |
| premorphos | il give you funny story to tell: i have installed all kinds of hackish tools and encryptation brakers, only to realise its a bit over my head having a hard time opening the terminal | 17:50 |
| premorphos | Tex: tnx you saved me a headache | 17:51 |
| jkl | hi, since I removed close to 300 orphaned packages with synaptic, abiword hangs at startup. problem persists even after complete reinstallation, any ideas? | 17:53 |
| MalfermitaKodo | jkl: any rubbish in your .abiword directory? | 17:59 |
| MalfermitaKodo | errr .AbiSuite | 18:00 |
| MalfermitaKodo | maybe rename it | 18:00 |
| jkl | nothing unusual in there | 18:01 |
| jkl | rename the directory? | 18:02 |
| MalfermitaKodo | If only you and no other user on your box has issues, that might be it | 18:02 |
| MalfermitaKodo | can't hurt to try it | 18:03 |
| jkl | hard to tell coz im the only user, but i'll give it a go | 18:04 |
| jkl | nope, no joy with that approach, im afraid | 18:05 |
| MalfermitaKodo | sorry! | 18:05 |
| jkl | no worries! | 18:05 |
| jkl | thanks | 18:05 |

| juxbox | hi | 18:18 |
| juxbox | does xubuntu support ATI display cards? | 18:19 |
| yeason | xorg does | 18:23 |
| yeason | and xubuntu uses xorg as the display system | 18:23 |
| juxbox | yeason: i used kubuntu 3 days ago and it didn't support my ATI and x crashed, so is there an official statement that says that it really does ? | 18:26 |
| yeason | juxbox: hmm... I can't say whether or not there's anything official... but I took a quick look at the repos to double check and xorg ATI support is in there | 18:31 |
| juxbox | hmm ok | 18:32 |
| yeason | since its in the repos I'd imagine it is, have you tried searching forums etc for the error you encountered | 18:33 |
| yeason | its possible its a known bug with a workaround | 18:33 |
| juxbox | yeason: yes it was a bug, also it couldn't recognize my sound cards | 18:33 |
| gamepockets | hello hello | 18:36 |
| yeason | juxbox: what type of computer is this? | 18:36 |
| juxbox | yeason: hp pavilion dv6 1105ee | 18:37 |
| gamepockets | does anyone know how to find out what your ip address is.. | 18:37 |
| juxbox | gamepockets: lan ip or wan ip? | 18:37 |
| gamepockets | lan | 18:38 |
| juxbox | ifconfig | 18:38 |
| gamepockets | f config ok, thanks | 18:38 |
| yeason | juxbox: I'm not sure what to tell you, people in here might be able to give you better advice if you tried again and actually gave them the errors | 18:41 |
| yeason | I'm sorry there's not much I can do, a quick google search didn't really reveal much | 18:42 |
| juxbox | ya | 18:42 |

| artistxe | curious what ppl use here to organize their music . right now I am using Exaile , but I am not really happy with it. | 21:40 |
| Myrtti | exaile or mpd | 21:41 |
| artistxe | my collection needs to be retagged maybe. ugh. | 21:44 |
| Nana | hi | 21:55 |
| Who | Anyone know much about how Xubuntu handles brightness keys? | 21:55 |
| Who | I'm getting really laggy response using notify-osd | 21:56 |
| Who | but if I use acpi_fakekey 224 it works nice and speedily | 21:56 |
| knome | Who, is there a reason not to use acpi_fakekey then? | 21:59 |
| Who | knome: well 2: 1. it requires root privelidges, 2) I don't know how to turn off what is already handling the keys | 22:00 |
| Who | knome: I'd be happy if you have any suggestions | 22:00 |
| knome | not really. haven't had to fight with any non/bad-wroking keys | 22:01 |
| joey_ | can anybody tell me how to make the xfce panel transparent in 4.6? | 22:02 |
| joey_ | let me rephrase that. anyone know how to make the panel transparent in xfce, but the icons opaque? I havv compiz, if that helps | 22:08 |
| Who | knome: the keys do work ;) just not _right_ | 22:13 |
| joey_ | anybody? | 22:18 |
| artistxe | joey_ . I do not think that you can do that | 22:24 |
| knome | joey_, you should ask #compiz maybe | 22:29 |
| artistxe | joey. if you use the new version of gnome-do with the docky option. you can have the dock always on top....turn off animations, and shrink the icons. it will look exactly the same | 22:29 |
| artistxe | I tried to do it with compiz as well. and asked around. the answer I got the most was "use awm" | 22:29 |
| joey_ | I'm not thinking about the dock for applicatons, I've got cairo dock for that. I'm thinking more the dock at hthe top, with the menu and the system tray | 22:29 |
| artistxe | *awn | 22:30 |
| artistxe | and. what do you need in the sytem tray anyway ??? | 22:30 |
| joey_ | probably not much. thanks! | 22:31 |
| artistxe | problem solved ? | 22:31 |
| jkl | hi, since I removed close to 300 orphaned packages with synaptic, abiword hangs at startup. problem persists even after complete reinstallation, any ideas? | 22:34 |
| gamepockets | need some help setting up a network between a win lap and xub mac... | 22:39 |
| artistxe | jkl . when you say complete reinstall. you manually removed the config files ( .AbiSuite in your home directory ) ? "complete" removal in Synaptic does not remove that btw... | 22:48 |
| jkl | ok well i was advised to do a complete synaptic removal and then restart the system before reinstalling, this didnt work. | 22:50 |
| jkl | i did not manually remove the files | 22:50 |
| artistxe | common mistake . alot of ppl do not remove these files , reinstall , and encounter same problems. | 22:51 |
| artistxe | and you should not have to restart system btw. | 22:51 |
| jkl | hmm, thanks for the tip, I will try this | 22:51 |
| artistxe | n/p | 22:51 |
| jimisrvrox | hey guys I am needing some help with getting this wireless card wmp54g card working if anybody can let me know thanks.. | 23:03 |
| Slonkie | jimisrvrox wmp54g? what brand is that? | 23:06 |
| jimisrvrox | heh its a linksys | 23:06 |
| Slonkie | sorry no idea then | 23:06 |
| jimisrvrox | I forget how to look up the driver model.. | 23:06 |
| jimisrvrox | could be either broadcom or ralink | 23:06 |
| frojnd | Hello there | 23:07 |
| frojnd | Some distributions have special methods for installing the firmware. In general these consist of a special command entered at a terminal. | 23:07 |
| frojnd | Ubuntu uses the following command: sudo /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh | 23:07 |
| frojnd | What would be the command for xubuntu then? | 23:07 |
| Slonkie | i'd say the same. | 23:08 |
| frojnd | Slonkie: hum I've tried but I get command not found | 23:08 |
| Slonkie | hm okay | 23:08 |
| frojnd | it's not even there b43-fwcutter | 23:08 |
| frojnd | in the /usr/share/ | 23:08 |
| frojnd | I tired which b43-fwcutter but It didn't give me any path | 23:09 |
| iliketofrolic666 | are there any programs for xubuntu to control it with a microphone like vista has? | 23:27 |
| === CYF is now known as CloseYetFar | ||
| SiDi | frojnd, install b43-fcutter first | 23:48 |
| SiDi | fwcutter | 23:48 |
| SiDi | frojnd, sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 23:48 |
| SiDi | then the file will be there | 23:48 |
| jimisrvrox | siDi: you around? | 23:56 |
| SiDi | no | 23:56 |
| SiDi | :) | 23:56 |
| jimisrvrox | heh | 23:56 |
| SiDi | sry but i dont know anything about linksys cards either :p | 23:57 |
| jimisrvrox | im tryin to get this broadcom 4813 to work and thus far ive got this bcmwl5.inf installed... | 23:57 |
| jimisrvrox | says I have fwcutter already installed but im unable to access it to extract the .sys file.. | 23:57 |
| SiDi | i think you should be using ndiswrapper | 23:58 |
| jimisrvrox | well I went that route as well and did ndiswrapper -l shows the driver is installed..then I did -m says theres a module there so..im hoping everything will work.. | 23:58 |
| jimisrvrox | nope didnt work.. | 23:59 |
