| Guest55684 | No networks show up under wireless networks can anyone help? | 03:06 |
| zruty | Is the wireless switched on? | 03:08 |
| zruty | Sometimes there is a switch somewhere | 03:08 |
| Guest55684 | Yea the light is on but if I do iwconfig it doesn't have a wlan0 | 03:09 |
| Guest55684 | Any ideas? | 03:10 |
| zruty | moment... | 03:11 |
| Guest55684 | Okay. | 03:11 |
| zruty | Is it a USB or a PCI thing? | 03:11 |
| Guest55684 | PCI it is a hp ze5000 and it is built it | 03:12 |
| zruty | you can do sudo lspci in a terminal window | 03:12 |
| zruty | And see if it is in there | 03:12 |
| Guest55684 | there is a network controller and a ethernet controller | 03:13 |
| Guest55684 | Intersil Corportation Prism 2.5 Wavelan Chipset | 03:13 |
| Guest55684 | How do I know which one it is? | 03:14 |
| zruty | Good question... | 03:19 |
| zruty | Ethernet is wired | 03:19 |
| zruty | So it must be the other one | 03:19 |
| Guest55684 | right | 03:19 |
| zruty | What with ifconfig? | 03:20 |
| Guest55684 | Doesn't show any wlan0 | 03:21 |
| charlie-tca | iwconfig? | 03:21 |
| Guest55684 | I tried installing the driver but I don't know if I have the right one and it is hard to find | 03:21 |
| Guest55684 | It doesn't show up there either | 03:21 |
| zruty | I am starting my xubuntu lapdog... | 03:21 |
| zruty | Yes, I have never heard of intersil | 03:21 |
| Guest55684 | I guess I just need to try to find the right driver | 03:22 |
| Guest55684 | It is an HP ZE5000 and there is no drivers on the HP website and I can't really find out what wireless card it has... | 03:22 |
| Guest55684 | 11b minipci AMB is what is says on the sticker on the card | 03:23 |
| zruty | ok... | 03:24 |
| zruty | sudo lsmod | more | 03:24 |
| zruty | Do you see any module that looks like it may be the wireless? | 03:25 |
| Guest55684 | No not really I am searching for the driver now though... | 03:25 |
| Guest55684 | The only driver files I can find are freaking .exe files | 03:26 |
| zruty | ndiswrapper...? | 03:27 |
| zruty | When I google Intersil Corportation Prism 2.5 Wavelan and Ubuntu I see a few posts for ubuntu forum come up | 03:28 |
| zruty | ndiswrapper is a .. tool... that you can use the Windows driver under linux | 03:28 |
| zruty | Works 99% of the time, used it myself a long time ago.. | 03:28 |
| Guest55684 | I know but the problem is I can't just find the drivers, there is only .exe files | 03:29 |
| Guest55684 | I might of found it hold on... | 03:31 |
| zruty | Yes, I too have an old network controller for which no specific linux driver exists. No choice but to use ndiswrapper. | 03:33 |
| zruty | OR, since yours is also old, buy a newer network controller. | 03:34 |
| zruty | N is the standard now, people are ridding themselves of (A/B/)G cards. | 03:34 |

| ljsoftnet | is there a harddisk load monitor applet for xubuntu? | 13:11 |
| knome | iotop? | 13:13 |
| knome | oh, applet | 13:14 |
| knome | ljsoftnet, you can use xfapplet to use a gnome panel applet if there is one for gnome :) | 13:14 |
| ljsoftnet | is used it, but it goes back to its default setting after reboot | 13:15 |
| ljsoftnet | knome is used it, but it goes back to its default setting after reboot | 13:15 |
| knome | ljsoftnet, when logging out, do you select 'save session' ? | 13:16 |
| ljsoftnet | knome didn't know that | 13:17 |
| knome | try that, and see if the applet is working after reboot/-login :) | 13:17 |
| ljsoftnet | knome ok, rebooting | 13:18 |
| ljsoftnet | knome what does save sessions do? | 13:24 |
| knome | ljsoftnet, umm, save the session :)) | 13:24 |
| ljsoftnet | knome it saves the session of xfce's panels? | 13:25 |
| knome | ljsoftnet, should save that too, and any applications running | 13:25 |
| ljsoftnet | knome ok thanks | 13:26 |
| knome | no problem. did it work? | 13:26 |
| ljsoftnet | knome yes it worked | 13:27 |
| knome | okay, great | 13:27 |
| ljsoftnet | knome what about system loader, what does "swap" monitor, is it the harddisk? | 13:28 |
| knome | ljsoftnet, yes and no - swap is an area in the hard disk that is used like ram when/if you run out of ram | 13:29 |
| ljsoftnet | knome ah ok | 13:30 |
| knome | ljsoftnet, say, if you have 1GB of ram, the system starts using the swap partition (a bit before) when 1GB ram is used | 13:30 |
| ljsoftnet | knome ah thanks man | 13:30 |

I was in the window manager settings playing around with window borders, and then I scrolled all the way to the bottom and a black screen flashed with some kind of error text I couldn't see and then I went back to the login screen. It does it every time I log in unless I go to the recovery console | 20:14 |

| Sysi | it's propably the one known bug with one wm theme | 20:16 |

| Shyster | sup everyone | 22:43 |
| Shyster | i install xubuntu on my laptop earlier it already had ubuntu/kubuntu on it, i installed it threw "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" everything went fine | 22:45 |
| Shyster | it installed with kde as default gui... i liked it so i downloaded the xubuntu cd an installed it on my desktop an it installed with gnome as default | 22:46 |
| Shyster | it didn't ask me witch one i wanted so y the differance? | 22:47 |
| charlie-tca | xubuntu does not use kde | 22:47 |
| charlie-tca | it uses Xfce with some of gnome | 22:47 |
| knome | neither does it use gnome | 22:47 |
| Shyster | hmm | 22:48 |
| Shyster | when i installed it on my laptop it the gui looked like a kde themed gui, with the menu in the bottom left an so on | 22:48 |
| Shyster | now on my desktop it looks like a gnome gui with the applications/places menu at the top | 22:49 |
| Shyster | so why would it install differant | 22:49 |
| charlie-tca | sounds like you ran a kde session before | 22:50 |
| charlie-tca | instead of the xubuntu session | 22:50 |
| Shyster | and sorry about my confusion of the gui's i am still a beginner to linux | 22:50 |
| Shyster | no it was xubuntu | 22:50 |
| Shyster | when it loaded it had a tips menu pop up talking about xubuntu and had the mouse background an so on | 22:51 |
| Shyster | would it make a differance in the versions? 10.04long term or 10.10? | 22:52 |
| Shyster | on the gui that it uses i mean? | 22:52 |
| charlie-tca | xubuntu has never put the menu in the bottom left | 22:53 |
| Shyster | then what am i seeing? | 22:53 |
| knome | Shyster, take a screenshot and upload it to imagebin and we'll see | 22:54 |
| Shyster | ok | 22:54 |
| Shyster | i think its because of my laptop has 10.10 on it | 22:55 |
| Shyster | an my desktop i put 10.04 | 22:55 |
| Shyster | but i will upload a screen shot now | 22:55 |
| Shyster | http://imagebin.org/145783 | 23:01 |
| Shyster | theres the screen shot | 23:01 |
| Shyster | from my laptop | 23:01 |
| Shyster | and this is the one of my desktop http://imagebin.org/145784 | 23:03 |
| knome | mmhmm, that's definitely xubuntu, but it might be the xfce session (instead of xubuntu session) | 23:03 |
| Shyster | yea, an i really like it. | 23:04 |
| knome | which one? | 23:04 |
| Shyster | laptop gui | 23:05 |
| knome | right, well you can always change the panels to be as in the laptop screenshot | 23:05 |
| Shyster | like i said i just switched to linux from windows. i had some classes over linux in college but never really used to much. so i been searching for a flavour i like to stick with | 23:07 |
| knome | mm-hmm | 23:07 |
| Shyster | another question real quick i have a 20" LCD display on my desktop an xunbuntu detects it as a crt monitor and cuts off some of the right side of the screen | 23:09 |
| Shyster | i have tryed changing the resolution but doesn't help | 23:09 |
| knome | what graphics card? | 23:10 |
| Shyster | umm its a nvidia | 23:10 |
| Shyster | let me check what kind | 23:10 |
| knome | have you tried nvidia-settings? | 23:10 |
| knome | that's a pretty powerful tool | 23:10 |
| Shyster | yea i have | 23:11 |
| Shyster | thats what detects my monitor as a ctr o.O | 23:12 |
| knome | well, you really should be able to sort it with that | 23:12 |
| knome | doesn't really matter :) | 23:12 |
| knome | you only want to change the monitor layout | 23:12 |
| Shyster | but it doesn't give me any wide screen resolutions as a crt :( | 23:13 |
| knome | hmm | 23:13 |
| Shyster | any ideas? | 23:18 |
| jayant | Hello Everyone, i am using ubuntu 10.10 that works real slow on my system. I want to switch over to xubuntu. Will installing the xubuntu-desktop package make my system work fine ? | 23:56 |
| knome | jayant, that might bring some help. how much ram do you have? | 23:57 |
| jayant | knome: 256MB RAM | 23:58 |
| knome | okay. the pc won't be lightning fast with xubuntu either, then, i'm afraid. | 23:58 |
| knome | however, good application choices can ease the situation | 23:58 |
| jayant | knome: then what else can i try to make it work fast ? | 23:58 |
| knome | there is lubuntu, which is even lighter than xubuntu | 23:59 |
| knome | though i really suggest a reinstall anyway | 23:59 |
