aveilleuxkaushal: No need to post twice. Also, try the forums.06:13
aveilleuxkaushal: I'm not sure if you can easily configure two networks at once; networking isn't my speciality. I'm sure it can be cone across multiple interfaces, though.06:14
kaushalaveilleux: yeah06:15
aveilleuxkaushal: Like, I know what you're asking is technically possible, I just don't know how easily it can be done since I've never done it.06:16

bioterroryou dont need to be a programmer to do that09:31
bioterrorhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=20309309:31

mariellayes16:39

JoeMaverickSettah, let me find more info/doc.16:40

asterismohi everyone16:42
trhisdonehello16:42
mariellayes, I tried the grafical and directly from the shell16:42
asterismoi have a little question...16:42
asterismois maveric better than lucid?16:42
asterismomaverick vs lucid....16:43
mariellamy system froze a lot of times and it didn't see the card either16:43
asterismoi see16:43
mariellahi16:44
mariellalucid is lt, maverick is not16:45
mariellaand if I fix my bug I think I will not upgrade anything soon16:46
trhisdonei just started using lucid16:49
mariellaI like lucid, and Hardy before that, but I should be less trusting with updates :-)16:50
trhisdoneim new to the whole thing... took me a while to figure out how to get my soundcard to work and play dvd's but other than that i havn't had any problems16:51
JoeMaverickSettmariella: could you type this in your terminal (not here) "dmesg | grep -ie ndis -ie wlan0 -ie error" without quotes, and paste it at http://paste.ubuntu.com ?16:53
mariellaneither did I16:54
trhisdoneI had to tweak the fonts a bit.......the default one was horrible16:55

trhisdonewhats the best music player? something similar to winamp?17:00
head_victimtrhisdone: I can't live without exaile for my musical needs. Depends though if you want full featured or something better on resources.17:01
trhisdonesomething full featured17:02
head_victimIf you're using gnome I'd suggest exaile, if you're using kde I'd suggest amarok.17:03
mariellathere are a lot, I use whatever is already installed :-), I really can't hear the difference17:03
mariellaamarok and exeile are nice too17:03
trhisdoneim looking for something similar to winamp.... the installed ones are not even close17:05
trhisdonei will try exaile17:05
mariellagood choice!!17:05
JoeMaverickSettmariella: could you type "sudo lshw -C network" and "lsmod | grep ndis" in the terminal and paste in paste.ubuntu.com17:06
JoeMaverickSettone at a time in the terminal.17:06
trhisdonenow if i could just find a nero replacement i might never use windows again17:06
yofelbrasero is usually enough for most disk burning taks, you can try k3b too17:07
mariellahttp://paste.ubuntu.com/530785/17:08
trhisdonei used k3b but it doesnt let you burn to multiple drives at the same time like nero17:08
trhisdoneunless its some option i couldn't find17:08
head_victimtrhisdone: I'd add a +1 to brasero for gnome or +1 for k3b if you're using kde.17:08
trhisdonecan exaile play flac files?17:10
mariellahttp://paste.ubuntu.com/530786/          now I 'm online with a usb card, dlink  DWL-G12217:11
trhisdonenevermind.....dumb question17:13
head_victimtrhisdone: yep, it's all I use.17:13
JoeMaverickSettmariella: i'm out of ideas, you could try this guide; http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885847 or stick around here or try asking at #ubuntu. i'm sure there are alot of people better skilled at this than me. :-/17:16

trhisdonewhats a good dvd player?17:59
geirhaI'm fond of mplayer. Many will probably suggest vlc.18:00
trhisdoneyeah im using vlc18:01
yofelkaffeine is usable too, but last time I tried it even totem would play a dvd.18:01
geirhaAnd the default media player (totem) can play dvds quite well too if I'm not mistaken.18:02
geirha:)18:02
trhisdoneim talking about dvd files on the computer..........kaffeine is good for actual dvds18:02
yofelwell, you can try totem, I usually use smplayer or vlc though too18:03
Silver_Fox_I am going goodbye.18:03
trhisdonevlc looks a little jerky... i been messing with the deinterlace settings but i can still see the jerking18:03
trhisdoneits very slight18:04
