MTec007finally fixed my sound issue! yay!01:19
MTec007did every one hear, Michael Jackson died today?!?01:19
musethat's 3 channels that mentioned that in the last 2 minutes01:25
museincluding this one.. you must all watch the same news channel01:26
MTec007i dont watch the news01:29
MTec007my wife and her friends got several text messages, they told me to verify so i checked newschannel5.com01:30
homebrewciderupgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and trying to get nvidia drivers installed, get message saying "kernel modules not found" install failed02:11
aacostaey cabry you still there02:30
homebrewciderupgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and trying to get nvidia drivers installed, get message saying "kernel modules not found" install failed02:50
th0rhomebrewcider: did you install the kernel source or kernel headers? (I am assuming you need to compile the nvidia drivers)02:52
homebrewcidermmm, how do I do that please?02:54
th0rhomebrewcider: first question...am I correct that you are trying to compile the nvidia drivers?02:54
homebrewcideri'm trying to install them,it's trying to find a kernel module, then trying to download one and not finding one02:55
homebrewciderwith another driver , i get an error saying something about me having gcc4.3, and the driver needing gcc4.202:55
th0rhomebrewcider: right, gcc is the c compiler. I would first install the kernel headers and try again installing the nvidia drivers, then if that doesn;t work install the kernel source and see if that does the trick.02:56
th0rhomebrewcider: the headers should be in synaptic as linux-headers-generic02:57
homebrewciderkernel headers? never had to do this before02:57
homebrewciderok02:58
th0rhomebrewcider: well, I am assuming the nvidia drivers need to be compiled as part of the install process. The error sounds like a compiler error, the reference to gcc reinforces this, but I don't have an nvidia card so I am only guessing02:59
homebrewcidercan I install that gcc4.2 it's referring to and see if that helps?03:00
th0rhomebrewcider: don't know...never ran into that issue before03:00
th0rhomebrewcider: I have successfully compiled from source a number of times, but do not consider myself any kind of guru in that arena. But my suggestion seemed better than the other answers you were getting <smile>03:01
th0rhomebrewcider: you might try asking in #ubuntu....the nvidia drivers are not xfce specific03:02
homebrewcidergonna give it a shot03:02
homebrewciderthanks03:02

MTec007is it easy to make a 9.04 install cd with some things already included like flashplugin-installer   etc     also would like to have some config files pre set up04:32
MTec007i beleive doing that, in windows is called OEM  i dont know if thats what its called for linux04:34
R1cochetMTec007: i believe that there is a howto in the forums on creating ur own liveCD05:05
R1cochetnot sure what its called tho05:06
R1cocheti found it b4 on google05:06
R1cochetOEM= Original Equipment Manufacturer, i think05:07
MTec007yeah but i dont want to create a liveCD, i want to create a install cd that will have things set up the way I want them05:14
MTec007the way i have my panel configured, my theme, my keyboard short cuts05:15
R1cocheti think it does that05:17
MTec007wow.05:22
MTec007that seems a lot harder than i expected.05:22
MTec007cant just extract iso edit files, add packages and re iso?05:23
maduseryeah you can05:23
madusermount the iso and do the things you want05:24
maduserthen make a new iso out of the mount folder05:24
MTec007they just make it sound so hard in the howto05:25
madusercould I get a link to it?05:26
MTec007https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization05:27
maduseryeah you still have to do all the stuff in the guide05:27
MTec007its not worth it.05:28
MTec007ill just try to make some kind of script i can run post install, lets just hope it doesnt fsck any thing up :)05:29
maduserits not that hard05:29
maduserjust copy and paste commands05:29
MTec007i think it may be in my best interest to not mount any thing. i just had to do a reinstall messing around with things above my understanding05:31
R1cochetu can use gmountiso05:32
R1cochetrather easy to use gui for mounting iso files05:32
R1cochetgrab it from synaptic05:32
MTec007i wish i hadnt of deleted that 9.04 iso i just downloaded.  just burned a normal cd from it05:33
R1cochetouch05:34
R1cochethad that happen to me b4 also05:35
R1cochetso now once i dl the iso i keep it untill newer version comes out05:35
MTec007lol05:36
maduseryo im customizing a cd now dude its really easy, easier then lfs05:46
R1cocheti was just gonna sk what lfs was but then i remembered05:48
R1cochetis it really easy? just follow that howto?05:48
maduseryeah05:49
madusercopy and paste05:50
maduserup to the customizing part05:50
mikubuntuwho knows anything about isp throttling?  i have att's slowest dsl, the one that's 20 bucks a month.  on all my old boxes i noticed months ago that when i would download anything, the download speed as registered by the download box 'speedometer' was always between 72 kbs - 85 kbs, and i thought prolly just my slow computers, but i got this laptop, which is no speed demon, but it is new, and...05:50
mikubuntu...my download speed still showing those same speeds.  but when i do a speed check like the one at speed.fastaccess.com , it's showing much higher speed, like 634 kbs, for download.05:50
mikubuntumaduser, what app u using for cd customization05:51
R1cochetits from terminal05:51
R1cocheti think05:51
maduseri'm doing it from the comandline05:53
maduserthats the only way05:53
maduserhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization05:53
maduseri'm removing gnome now and adding the lxde05:54
R1cochetlxde?06:03
maduserits a lightweight desktop enviroment06:03
maduserrelatively new06:03
R1cochetahh ok06:03
R1cochetill google it06:03
R1cochetmore light weight than xfce?06:03
maduserI believe so06:04
MTec007whats the diff between apt-get and aptitude?06:11
SiDiaptitude manages the remove operations better06:14
SiDiand it has different options. aptitude cant do apt-get source06:14
SiDibut i think apt-get doesn't have aptitude why and whynot's equivalents06:14
MTec007so which is better to use?06:15
SiDii use aptitude06:22
SiDibut if you used apt-get before, stay on it06:22
SiDidont mix them06:22
sandy_Is Xubuntu 9.04 as easy to get going with web browsing and WICD as its regular Ubuntu counterpart?07:52
sandy_I'm new to ubuntu but feel its dragging a bit and could use more efficiency07:52
R1cochetweb browsing yea07:53
R1cochetit comes w/ firefox07:54
R1cochetu can try the livecd b4 u install07:54
R1cochetwhats WICD?07:54
sandy_WICD is what I use for wifi connecting07:55
sandy_it works better than the network manager that comes with ubuntu9.0407:55
R1cochethavent tried wicd so im not sure07:56
R1cochetbut u can run the livecd, grab wicd in synaptic and see how it works. no changes made07:56
sandy_It's a very simple program that autodetected my netgear wireless card and got me connected to a simple wifi network07:57
sandy_I'm not familiar with synaptic but I might give it a try07:57
R1cochetand nwm doesnt find it?07:57
R1cochetsynaptic is great07:57
R1cochetsame as apt-get from terminal07:57
R1cochetbut gui07:57
sandy_right...nwm didn't seem to do anything.  It didn't even detect that I had a wifi card.07:58
R1cochetthat could be driver issue07:58
sandy_ahh interesting07:58
R1cocheti had to dl broadcom drivers to get wifi to work here07:58
sandy_did you have to do the same with regular ubuntu (if you used that)?07:59
R1cochetalso did u enable wireless in nwm? u might have to rt click on nwm and tick wireless07:59
R1cochetyes07:59
R1cochetgrab the livecd, run w/out changes and u can dl packages and try the stuff out08:00
R1cocheti personally like xfce a lot more08:00
sandy_do you use xubuntu for everything?08:00
sandy_I'm thinking of installing XP on a dual boot cuz the multimedia doesn't work very well on ubuntu08:03
R1cochetyes i use xubuntu for everything, i have xp on dual boot also, cant hurt but i never run windows.08:04
R1cochetalso u have to install ubuntu-restricted or xubuntu-restricted depending on which distro u use08:04
R1cochetas well to get dvd playback u need libdvdread4 and decss08:05
R1cochetthere are howtos on getting those08:05
R1cochetthey are in medibuntu repos08:05
sandy_is 9.04 the version to get?08:49
R1cochetits the newest if thats what u mean08:49
R1cochetso the packages are supposed to be the most current from my understanding08:49
sandy_does it support USB right away?08:49
R1cochetyes08:49
R1cochettry the livecd08:50
sandy_will do...once this dl is done08:50
R1cochetok08:51
sandy_do you sacrifice anything in particular by using xubuntu rather than ubuntu?08:54
sandy_dvd viewing  I'm aware requires some extra steps08:55
R1cochetno sacrifices i can think of08:56
R1cochetunless running faster is a sacrifice08:57
sandy_hehehe awesome08:57
R1cochetits supposed to be lighter on resources08:57
R1cochetxubuntu that is08:58
R1cocheti rather like it08:58
R1cochetmore than ubuntu08:58
sandy_that's definitely drawing me in...is it difficult installing xp after xubuntu?08:58
sandy_on the same hard drive08:58
R1cochetother way around08:58
R1cochetinstall xp first08:59
R1cochetthen install xubuntu08:59
R1cochetnot difficult at all08:59
R1cochetthere are some howtos i think08:59
sandy_really?  any partitioning to do between the two OS installs08:59
R1cochetahh thats right first time i did it i watched a video on utube on how to install a dual boot08:59
R1cochetyes u will have to partition but not untill after u install xp09:00
sandy_oh ok09:00
R1cochetwhen u go to install xubuntu is when u will want to partition09:00
R1cochetit will give a couple options on where to install09:00
R1cochetchoose resize partition, leave enough room for xp to install apps an updates and other stuff u like if ineeded09:01
R1cochetthen use the latter part of the drive to install xubuntu09:01
R1cochetafter u install xubuntu, the next time u run windows it will do a drive check, all is fine it just needs to see that the size of the drive has changed09:02
sandy_thanx for the advice I'm gonna check out the livecd now09:04

TheSheep!firewall10:39
ubottuUbuntu, like any other linux  distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist10:39
