| WASasquatch | How might I go about obtaining the linux-backports-modules-karmic package? | 01:25 |
|---|---|---|
| WASasquatch | I found one through the Ubuntu website, but it had a dependency problem and couldn't be installed. | 01:26 |
| WASasquatch | I'm really new, and if I could just get Xubuntu online I could start learning this stuff without having to retart from windows to linux all the time. lol | 01:27 |
| WASasquatch | I would just plug my computer in ethernet, but I loaned out my cord for my friend to go online with his PS3. | 01:28 |
| WASasquatch | Anyone? | 01:30 |
| _Techie_ | what do you need help with? | 01:31 |
| _Techie_ | WASasquatch: whats the problem? | 01:32 |
| _Techie_ | WASasquatch: if your not willing to let me know what the problem is, then i cant help you | 01:37 |
| WASasquatch | Okay | 01:39 |
| WASasquatch | So I have a Belkin N Wireless USB adapter | 01:39 |
| WASasquatch | I plug it in, and it is recognized. However it won't connect to my router. | 01:39 |
| _Techie_ | have you selected the correct encryption type? | 01:40 |
| WASasquatch | I was told to run "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-karmic" which the package doesn't exist on my system, and I have no internet to get the package. | 01:40 |
| WASasquatch | Indeed. | 01:40 |
| WASasquatch | All the settings are correct. | 01:40 |
| WASasquatch | I even tethered my phone with no encryptions and it couldn't connect to it either. | 01:40 |
| _Techie_ | i presume the belin adapter is backwards compatable with G devices | 01:41 |
| WASasquatch | Indeed. | 01:41 |
| _Techie_ | hrmm | 01:42 |
| WASasquatch | Belkin 5FD8053 N Wireless | 01:42 |
| WASasquatch | Dual-band. | 01:42 |
| WASasquatch | I am also running the current stable release of Xubuntu, 9.10. | 01:43 |
| _Techie_ | i cant seem to turn up anything | 01:43 |
| _Techie_ | hrmm | 01:44 |
| _Techie_ | what encryption is the network, WPA-PSK2? | 01:44 |
| WASasquatch | Yeah | 01:45 |
| WASasquatch | Wait... | 01:45 |
| WASasquatch | I'm not sure. been awhile since I set it, windows just says WAP2. | 01:45 |
| _Techie_ | try logging into the router and disabling the encryption of the network | 01:46 |
| _Techie_ | try to connect to the network with security off | 01:46 |
| _Techie_ | this wil give us an idea whether its a problem with the adapter in Xubuntu or just a problem authenticating | 01:47 |
| WASasquatch | Well, like I said, I tethered my phone with no encryption and it was unable to connect as well. I don't think it's the router, more the Network Manager. | 01:47 |
| WASasquatch | I have a PCMCIA Linksys adapter as well, which is not detected, anyway to try it? | 01:48 |
| _Techie_ | i wouldnt have a clue | 01:49 |
| WASasquatch | Do you know where to download the linux-backports-modules-karmic package? | 01:52 |
| _Techie_ | if you want to "Download" it without using aptitude | 01:53 |
| _Techie_ | http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic | 01:53 |

| WASasquatch | When I download linux-backports-modules-karmic or karmic-generic I can't install them. It has a big red warning/error stating there is a dependency problem. | 03:29 |
| WASasquatch | And apparently I need to install these to connect my Belkin adapter | 03:29 |
| psycho_oreos | try something like prevu | 03:31 |

| ralze | hi, I was looking for something like menu.lst or grub.conf, but the things don't quite look like I'm used to in /boot/grub. where would I have to look? | 14:35 |
| charlie-tca | try /etc/default/grub | 14:36 |
| charlie-tca | what are you looking to change? | 14:36 |
| ralze | charlie-tca: I wasn't gonna change anything. I was just wanting to get the right parameters for the grub.conf, that is actually referenced on my machine | 14:38 |
| ralze | charlie-tca: I'm masochist, I'm looking into gentoo :) | 14:38 |
| ralze | mainly I'm not too sure about the whole hd0,1..45 business, so I wanted to see what the xubuntu parition would be | 14:39 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know grub.conf | 14:39 |
| ralze | well thanks anyway! :) | 14:40 |
| charlie-tca | grub legacy (grub1) used menu.lst and grub2 uses /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d | 14:40 |
| ralze | ah okay, maybe that's why it all looked so differently. I've never really configured grub2 yet. | 14:41 |
| ralze | alright, then it's gonna be guessing and rebooting. | 14:42 |

| highvoltage | imho grub2 takes way too long to load on some machines | 16:45 |

| Tronika | i cant get past the login screen | 17:42 |
| Tronika | im on live cd | 17:42 |
| Tronika | any help greatly appreciated | 17:42 |
| charlie-tca | And? | 17:42 |
| Tronika | and i need to login | 17:42 |
| charlie-tca | You have the login screen up ? | 17:42 |
| Tronika | but how | 17:42 |
| Tronika | yes | 17:42 |
| Tronika | its up | 17:42 |
| charlie-tca | User = ubuntu | 17:42 |
| charlie-tca | password = hit enter | 17:42 |
| Tronika | i tried that | 17:43 |
| Tronika | no go | 17:43 |
| charlie-tca | ubuntu all small letters, password is blank box, just hit enter on it? | 17:43 |
| Tronika | nope | 17:44 |
| charlie-tca | Try resetting gdm, if you can, using Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+k | 17:44 |
| charlie-tca | then try it again | 17:44 |
| charlie-tca | what version is this? | 17:45 |
| Tronika | lets see | 17:45 |
| Tronika | 9.10 | 17:45 |
| mobius111001 | anyone know is xubuntu 10.04 still using not using pulse? | 17:46 |
| charlie-tca | Never had 9.10 stop at the login, are you sure it booted to the cd? | 17:46 |
| Tronika | yea | 17:46 |
| Tronika | its an old pc | 17:46 |
| charlie-tca | 10.04 is using pulseaudio | 17:46 |
| Tronika | but this never happens | 17:46 |
| Tronika | usually loads up normally | 17:47 |
| charlie-tca | Old pc should not matter. seems to be something wrong with the cd itself | 17:47 |
| charlie-tca | Try ubuntu and password = ubuntu | 17:48 |
| charlie-tca | mobius111001: I am running both 32bit and 64bit Xubuntu on two different systems with pulseaudio and no issues to date | 17:49 |
| * charlie-tca thinks the volume not muting is great, too! | 17:49 | |
| mobius111001 | hey charlie-tca....on 10.04 or 9.10? just moved to xubuntu with 9.10 because pulse and my internal microphone didn't want to play nice. i was hoping 10.04 didn't move to pulse. granted, i'm not very fond of xfce ;-) | 17:51 |
| charlie-tca | 10.04 | 17:51 |
| Tronika | thx for help charlie | 17:52 |
| charlie-tca | did it work? | 17:52 |
| mobius111001 | did pulse come by default? | 17:52 |
| Tronika | yea | 17:52 |
| Tronika | :) | 17:52 |
| charlie-tca | mobius111001: yes | 17:52 |
| Tronika | thx man | 17:52 |
| charlie-tca | My volume options are oss and pulse only | 17:52 |
| charlie-tca | Tronika: You are welcome | 17:52 |
| mobius111001 | shoot. thanks for the info charlie-tca | 17:53 |
| Tronika | gotta go | 17:53 |
| Tronika | cya later | 17:53 |
| charlie-tca | Good luck | 17:53 |
| cur | has anyone been testing the 10.04 xubuntu beta? | 18:17 |
| Sysi | i have it | 18:20 |
| charlie-tca | yes, cur | 18:20 |
| charlie-tca | I run it on two systems, 32bit and 64bit | 18:21 |
| * charlie-tca thinks it might be a poll | 18:21 | |
| cur | how is it going for you? I am really having trepidations about it... I had a lot of issues with Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop... and I am wondering how the beta is working | 18:21 |
| Sysi | pretty well for me | 18:22 |
| charlie-tca | As long as I stay away from the nvidia hardware driver on 64 bit, great! | 18:22 |
| charlie-tca | Seems to be enough bugs for a beta | 18:22 |
| cur | okay another silly question... I have an intel core2 solo 1.4ghz processor, is it smart to switch over to Xubuntu with this chipset? | 18:23 |
| cur | 9.04 Ubuntu works like a champ. Most of my problems have just been fault of my own. | 18:24 |
| charlie-tca | sure... I think so. I run xubuntu on all my machines, including the 2.2GHz 64bit athlon | 18:24 |
| charlie-tca | Try the live cd, see if it works for you | 18:24 |
| charlie-tca | It is not as easy as Ubuntu to configure, most of the time | 18:24 |
| cur | cool. I have been looking into the xfce a lot more recently. What do you mean by "easy"? | 18:27 |
| charlie-tca | gnome configures a lot of things that you do manually in xubuntu | 18:27 |
| charlie-tca | Xfce gives you more choices, I think. Also makes you work a little more to do what you want, sometimes | 18:28 |
| cur | I am new to ubuntu and linux (diddling around since october/november) but I like the ability to tinker with everything. it has bit me in the ars a few times, though. I don't mind the work. | 18:29 |
| cur | thanks | 18:47 |
| Sysi | not actually #right but, have others experienced that lucid losts dns? | 19:42 |
| Sysi | and working again.. | 19:47 |
| charlie-tca | I saw some questions about it in #ubuntu+1 the other day | 19:47 |
| charlie-tca | It does seem to happen intermittent to some users | 19:48 |
