[01:25] <WASasquatch> How might I go about obtaining the linux-backports-modules-karmic package?
[01:26] <WASasquatch> I found one through the Ubuntu website, but it had a dependency problem and couldn't be installed.
[01:27] <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
[01:28] <WASasquatch> I would just plug my computer in ethernet, but I loaned out my cord for my friend to go online with his PS3.
[01:30] <WASasquatch> Anyone?
[01:31] <_Techie_> what do you need help with?
[01:32] <_Techie_> WASasquatch: whats the problem?
[01:37] <_Techie_> WASasquatch: if your not willing to let me know what the problem is, then i cant help you
[01:39] <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.
[01:40] <_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.
[01:41] <_Techie_> i presume the belin adapter is backwards compatable with G devices
[01:41] <WASasquatch> Indeed.
[01:42] <_Techie_> hrmm
[01:42] <WASasquatch> Belkin 5FD8053 N Wireless
[01:42] <WASasquatch> Dual-band.
[01:43] <WASasquatch> I am also running the current stable release of Xubuntu, 9.10.
[01:43] <_Techie_> i cant seem to turn up anything
[01:44] <_Techie_> hrmm
[01:44] <_Techie_> what encryption is the network, WPA-PSK2?
[01:45] <WASasquatch> Yeah
[01:45] <WASasquatch> Wait...
[01:45] <WASasquatch> I'm not sure. been awhile since I set it, windows just says WAP2.
[01:46] <_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
[01:47] <_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.
[01:48] <WASasquatch> I have a PCMCIA Linksys adapter as well, which is not detected, anyway to try it?
[01:49] <_Techie_> i wouldnt have a clue
[01:52] <WASasquatch> Do you know where to download the linux-backports-modules-karmic package?
[01:53] <_Techie_> if you want to "Download" it without using aptitude
[01:53] <_Techie_> http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic
[03:29] <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
[03:31] <psycho_oreos> try something like prevu
[14:35] <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?
[14:36] <charlie-tca> try /etc/default/grub
[14:36] <charlie-tca> what are you looking to change?
[14:38] <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 :)
[14:39] <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
[14:40] <ralze> well thanks anyway! :)
[14:40] <charlie-tca> grub legacy (grub1) used menu.lst and grub2 uses /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d
[14:41] <ralze> ah okay, maybe that's why it all looked so differently. I've never really configured grub2 yet.
[14:42] <ralze> alright, then it's gonna be guessing and rebooting.
[16:45] <highvoltage> imho grub2 takes way too long to load on some machines
[16:45] <highvoltage> (sorry wrong channel)
[16:56]  * charlie-tca nods to both comments
[17:41] <Tronika> hello
[17:41] <Tronika> good aftanonn
[17:41] <Tronika> i need some help getting xubuntu to work
[17:42] <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
[17:43] <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?
[17:44] <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
[17:45] <charlie-tca> what version is this?
[17:45] <Tronika> lets see
[17:45] <Tronika> 9.10
[17:46] <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
[17:47] <Tronika> usually loads up normally
[17:47] <charlie-tca> Old pc should not matter. seems to be something wrong with the cd itself
[17:48] <charlie-tca> Try ubuntu and password = ubuntu
[17:49] <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!
[17:51] <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
[17:52] <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
[17:53] <mobius111001> shoot.  thanks for the info charlie-tca
[17:53] <Tronika> gotta go
[17:53] <Tronika> cya later
[17:53] <charlie-tca> Good luck
[18:17] <cur> has anyone been testing the 10.04 xubuntu beta?
[18:20] <Sysi> i have it
[18:20] <charlie-tca> yes, cur
[18:21] <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
[18:22] <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
[18:23] <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?
[18:24] <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
[18:27] <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
[18:28] <charlie-tca> Xfce gives you more choices, I think. Also makes you work a little more to do what you want, sometimes
[18:29] <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.
[18:47] <cur> thanks
[19:42] <Sysi> not actually #right but, have others experienced that lucid losts dns?
[19:47] <Sysi> and working again..
[19:47] <charlie-tca> I saw some questions about it in #ubuntu+1 the other day
[19:48] <charlie-tca> It does seem to happen intermittent to some users
[21:53] <lubka> Hello, my panels are gone, can´t open Panel in Settings
[21:53] <lubka> Is there any fix?
[21:53] <Myrtti> !panels
[21:53] <lubka> thanks
[21:54] <lubka> it helped
[21:54] <lubka> bye
[21:54] <Myrtti> great
