knomei'm not sure if you have to, but you might have to update the usb driver on windows as well14:11
knome(the usb controller)14:11
charlie-tcaNo, I slaved the drive in and did the recovery in xubuntu14:12
knomeno, i meant the usb in vbox :P14:13

owen1i want to replace the nm-applet with wicd. how to make sure nm-applet will not run on boot?21:22
vinnlowen1, I think you can install BootUp-Manager21:23
knomeowen1, if you install wicd, nm-applet will be removed21:23
owen1knome: without installing bootup-managerL21:24
owen1?21:24
owen1another question -21:25
owen1is WEP shared/restricted means 40/128-bit key or 128-bit Passphrase?21:25
knomeowen1, yes, as long as you install wicd from a repository21:25
owen1(i use wicd on one laptop and nm-applet on another)21:25
knomeowen1, i've no idea, but you shouldn't use WEP if possible21:26
Sysiwep is mostly just for look21:27
owen1Sysi: what should i use?21:27
Sysiwpa21:28
owen1ok. i see 3 options for wpa21:28
owen1TKIP,21:28
owen1AES21:28
owen1[TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]21:28
owen1knome: i installed wicd, reboot, and i see both nm-applet and wicd.21:33
knomeowen1, sudo apt-get remove network-manager network-manager-gnome21:33
owen1ok21:34
steven__I have installed xubuntu 10.04 on my dell mini 10. best flavor of ubuntu i've tried so far. video is kinda sad though. Can anyone help?21:40
Sysisad?21:42
steven__yeah, choppy when i watch vlc or mplayer. choppy even when scrolling in FF21:42
steven__glxgears shows frame rates dropping to 35-40 when watching video21:43
steven__flash works, but choppy as well. I can stream radio through pandora, but youtube is pretty bad21:44
vinnlHave you checked whether restricted drivers are available?21:45
Sysiflash is pretty bad, netbooks aren't any high-end machines21:45
steven__yeah, there is not. there was a fix for ubuntu 9.04 which fixed resolution, but was still slow/choppy. I have not seen any drivers for 10.0421:46
steven__for sure they are not high end machines. I thought i'd give ubuntu a shot. had it on an old laptop and loved it. I was able to play videos fine with xp. I really don't want to go back to that though.21:48
steven__i installed driconf to try to disable vblank but am totally lost on how to do this.21:53

wendiguu have also problems with jdownloader ? its workin very slow23:26
vinnlI've never heard of the thing, but it sounds like a Java application, and Java applications have issues with performance more often23:27
wendiguhmm23:27
MalkavianManiacjdownloader is a java download client / accelerator23:27
wendigucoz i was lookin for program to downloadin files from rapidshare etc. Found tucan but it didnt work23:28
wendigu:)23:28
vinnlI like the Firefox extension DownThemAll23:28
wendiguuse swiftfox instead :P23:28
wendiguits based on firefox engine but a few times faster23:28
wendiguhmm - be creative and tell me as many advantages linux have. Im writin bechelor work about administration using free sotfware and any helps will be helpful :)23:46
vinnlThere are many articles written on that, I recall a recent one from crunchbang.org I believe23:46
wendiguhmm...advantages in network administration meanin, arguments "like-windows so moving on linux will be easy" or "faster" are not well enough :P23:51
vinnlSearch for better articles ;-)23:51
wendiguah i forgot - im lookin also for toplist of most well-known and best network hardware, found one ranking on spiceworks.com but its not very good - only 300 votes about :C23:54
