[01:10] <OptiplexGX620> Hay, my Xubuntu will not connect to the internet using a PC card LAN adaptor or a wireless one, or a Linksys USB network adaptor
[01:15] <OptiplexGX620> I can't connect to my router or the Internet at all...
[01:16] <OptiplexGX620> Anyone there? xD
[01:17] <OptiplexGX620> ;|
[01:19] <knome> no, ssh! ;)
[01:19] <OptiplexGX620> Lol, but I want help:P
[01:22] <knome> i'm just kidding. if anyone knows the answer, they'll most probably help.
[01:22] <OptiplexGX620> Hmm
[01:40] <OptiplexGX620> Takinggg wayyy tooooo longggg, but I'm willing to wait a week for an answer
[01:41] <knome> OptiplexGX620, yeah, sometimes it takes time. have you searched the forums already?
[01:41] <OptiplexGX620> no, http://forums.ubuntu.com/ ??
[01:42] <knome> yes
[01:42] <OptiplexGX620> nope
[01:43] <knome> that might be helpful, while you're waiting
[01:44] <OptiplexGX620> yes, I have a result for 3COM I'm reading...
[01:44] <OptiplexGX620> It's called "Old crappy Laptops", LOL
[01:45] <OptiplexGX620> Which is what I have, BTW
[01:46] <OptiplexGX620> I might be on to sumthin',  ever heard of "ndiswrapper"??
[01:46] <knome> yeah
[01:46] <knome> !ndiswrapper
[01:46] <knome> that link will also talk about ndw
[01:46] <OptiplexGX620> Ahh
[01:48] <OptiplexGX620> Ok, so Xubuntu supports my card I've found so far...
[01:49] <knome> OptiplexGX620, that is definitely good news:)
[01:50] <OptiplexGX620> And my WUSB11 adapter...
[01:50] <OptiplexGX620> Thx 4 the link ubottu
[01:51] <knome> OptiplexGX620, ubottu is pretty much just a bot used for remembering links so we (humans) don't have to :)
[01:53] <OptiplexGX620> No joking? Cuz I took that literally
[01:53] <OptiplexGX620> Remember https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo
[01:53] <knome> no, i'm not joking. :)
[01:53] <OptiplexGX620> Really helpful
[02:05] <OptiplexGX620> Is "network-admin" still on Ubuntu/Xubuntu?
[02:06] <OptiplexGX620> The link is really old
[02:35] <OptiplexGX620> Ok, help. Xubuntu doesn't detect my floppy disk drive
[02:36] <OptiplexGX620> Is there someway I can check if it's there somewhere?
[02:38] <OptiplexGX620> I could try to put it on a USB stick
[02:40] <OptiplexGX620> Not recognizing the USB stick either! Stupid messed up built-for-Windows-95 Laptop
[02:41] <OptiplexGX620> Oh hey it really was built for 95; I just took a guess
[02:42] <OptiplexGX620> Aaaaaaaaaaaah!! It says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system"!!!
[03:02] <OptiplexGX620> Hey, I'll just throw away this piece of junk; totally useless.
[03:11] <dougb> i'm on xubuntu 10.04 and i've installed the compizconfig settings manager.  i turned on compositing in the window manager tweaks but they dont seem to be communicating well
[03:12] <dougb> i tried enabling effects in the compizconfig and they aren't working
[03:41] <dougb> how do i enable the show all window effect?
[16:02] <slow-motion> hi
[20:42] <Pudabudigada> Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can help, my cpu is constantly at 100% even though i'm only using xchat and firefox
[20:43] <Sysi> flash websites makes any processor run 100%
[20:43] <Sysi> low-end?
[20:43] <Pres-Gas> Pudabudigada, do you have many tabs open and how many of those tabs are running flash?
[20:43] <Pudabudigada> 3 tabs, one flash
[20:44] <Pres-Gas> Pudabudigada, are you running 64 bit linux?
[20:44] <Pres-Gas> ...and what is your flash plugin?
[20:44] <Pres-Gas> ...can you tell we all suspect flash?   ;)
[20:44] <Pudabudigada> Adobe (yes I know!)
[20:44] <Pudabudigada> 32 bit
[20:45] <charlie-tca> close any terminal open
[20:45] <Pudabudigada> Proc: Celeron m 2.4Ghz RAM: ~770MB
[20:45] <Pudabudigada> no terminals open
[20:46]  * charlie-tca wanted to be different
[20:46] <Pres-Gas> charlie-tca, ahh I forgot about that possible bug...or is that confirmed now
[20:46] <Pudabudigada> k
[20:46] <charlie-tca> It is confirmed
[20:46] <Pudabudigada> bug?
[20:46] <Sysi> it's maverick only?
[20:46] <charlie-tca> as far as I know
[20:46] <Sysi> not supported here :P
[20:47] <charlie-tca> but bugs move, sometimes
[20:47] <Pres-Gas> ...darn 6 legged things!
[20:47] <knome> not once they're splatted to the wall
[20:47] <Pudabudigada> May have been flash, the meter is now dancing from 40-100%
[20:47] <Sysi> if you're using "system monitor", it can use 30%
[20:48] <Pres-Gas> Pudabudigada, what is the output of "free -m"?
[20:48] <Pres-Gas> 770 megs of ram these days is slim even with a light distro
[20:48] <Pudabudigada> Killed system monitor, now it's at 40-50%
[20:49] <Pudabudigada> free -m gives:
[20:49] <Pudabudigada> pudabudigada@pudabudigada-laptop:/$ free -m
[20:49] <Pudabudigada>              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
[20:49] <Pudabudigada> Mem:           685        504        180          0         35        245
[20:49] <Pudabudigada> -/+ buffers/cache:        223        462
[20:49] <Pudabudigada> Swap:          528          0        528
[20:49] <Pudabudigada> pudabudigada@pudabudigada-laptop:/$
[20:50] <Pudabudigada> which is at odds with what my monitor says
[20:50] <Pudabudigada> it says 223 used
[20:50] <knome> !pastebin | Pudabudigada
[20:50] <Pres-Gas> Well, he is not swapping/paging....
[20:51] <Pudabudigada> The odd thing is that with no more flash it works, but it runs youtube fine
[20:51] <Pudabudigada> Though i was here: ashens.com
[20:52] <Pudabudigada> by 'works' mean low cpu usage
[20:59] <Pudabudigada> seems flash is the culprit, just youtube pushes the cpu monitor to 95%
