GarryFreI am spending a LOT of time trying to find out in google where autostart.sh file is. I need to edit it, but google is being my frenemy and all I get is about editing  it, not where to find it TO edit it!04:42
GarryFrefind -name autostart.sh just drops to the command line. I KNOW it'sthere, because I had to edit it to fix conky covering over all the windows.04:46

stevdHello15:51
stevdI have been having a problem with setting up my wireless router15:52
stevdnot router wireless card15:53
Sidewinder1stevd: Please elaborate.15:54
stevdok I am using ASUS USB N13 N15:55
Sidewinder1Is that a router? If so, I'm unfamiliar with it.15:56
stevdI have tried trouble shooting with documentation, my computer says thats its not enabled15:56
stevdum wirless card not router my mistake15:56
Sidewinder1Oh, OK, sorry I can't really help too much (beyond basics) with wireless cards...15:58
stevdthe terminal says it sees the card and drivers but it says its enabled15:58
Sidewinder1Enabled? Are you sure it doesn't say "disabled"?15:59
stevdIm mean disabled... early morning16:01
stevdI cant find a turm to try to just make it enabled16:01
Sidewinder1Get a cup of coffee... :-)16:02
stevdyeah16:03
stevdneed one16:03
Sidewinder1If it's not "enabled", it may be a driver issue. Are you certain you're using the most current one for the distro (10.04, 10.10, or 11.04)?16:04
Sidewinder1And for that card?16:04
stevdi dont know if I am16:04
Sidewinder1That may be a place to start.16:05
stevdthe computer told me someware else that it was a firmware issue16:05
Sidewinder1I only update firmware as a last resort, but, that's just me.16:06
Sidewinder1But after all else fails you may need to do that if it's an old card.16:06
stevdits only 3 month old card16:08
Sidewinder1Then it probably isn't a firmware issue. What is the output of, in a terminal, lsusb? Re: the ASUS?16:10
stevdlet be check16:11
stevdI got it up were do you want to know the output16:12
stevdBus 009 Device 003: ID 0b05:1784 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. 802.11n Network Adapter16:12
stevdwhat do you think16:16
Sidewinder1Well this is getting a little beyond my abilities...;-( The next thing I would try is typing in terminal dmesg and see if anything jumps out regarding that card / port, etc...16:16
stevdnot really16:18
Sidewinder1AT this point you have two choices: Ask your question in #ubuntu (mentioning your card, ubuntu version, etc) or better yet going to ubuntuforums.org and asking there; although it'll take longer for someone to answer.16:19
stevdoh ok16:19
Sidewinder1Sorry I wasn't a better helper. :-( Side slinks away with his tail between his legs... :-)16:20
stevdits ok I have a tough one to figure out16:20
Sidewinder1Actually it's not that tough for someone that is more familiar with wireless cards.16:21
Sidewinder1ndiswrapper is anothe LAST-RESORT.16:22
Sidewinder1another, sorry16:22
stevdok I tried that before it sucks and buggy16:22
Sidewinder1Maybe 'it' screwed something up?16:24
stevdyeah but I redownloaded linux so its not that16:24
Sidewinder1Did you "totally remove" ndiswrapper?16:25
Sidewinder1Oh, OK, you answered while I was typing.16:25
stevdI typed this sudo lshw -C network and got into the network card info16:25
stevdthe computer was wiped16:25
Sidewinder1Then I would suggest ubuntuforums.org, they're very knowlegable and more than willing to help; just be very specific with your problem. The more info. the better.16:27
stevdok16:27
Sidewinder1Good luck!16:28
Sidewinder1Try addressing your question on the main chanel (#ubuntu) Dr_Willis is there now and he's an expert...16:32
Sidewinder1Phrase your question, all on one line, listing your distro (10.10, 11.04, etc.) your card, any error messaged, etc,...16:34

mang0Heya!18:15
mang0I'm just wondering if I can use a virtual cd drive to run the ISO file for the ubuntu install....for instance, daemon tools lite.18:17
mang0I don't have any re-writable cds, and I already have a liveCD of 10.1018:17
mang0holstein18:17
mang0-----------^ and hello :)18:17
holsteinmang0: o/18:40
holsteini would use unetbootin18:40
mang0\o/18:40
holsteinwith a USB stick18:41
holsteinif you dont have that18:41
holsteinand you're trying to do something from an already running install18:41
holsteinin theory, you should be albe to do that18:41
holsteinbut, its over my head18:41
mang0I have heard (in #ubuntu) that 11.04 has a newer kernal and so maybe it would detect my drives...18:41
mang0it might be a bios problem though, but I really don't know much about bios, i'm sorta a noob to bios tbh.18:42
holsteinmang0: you can probably try the mainline kernel18:42
holsteinin whatever you are running18:42
holsteinand get the functionality of the newer kernel18:43
holsteinwithout too much hassle18:43
holsteinwhen i did it, i just DL'd a .deb for the mainline kernel18:43
holsteinand installed/uninstalled like anything else18:43
holstein*thats plausible i suppose18:43
mang0aw god, I cba with all this hassle, just gonna dl 11.04, burn a CD and hope for the best.18:43
holsteinyeah, i would18:44
holsteinyou can try it live18:44
mang0yearp18:44

holsteinthose CD's are handy for diagnostics or whatever18:44
holsteini usually just carry one around18:44
holsteinand if i end up using it on someones machine18:45
holsteini give it to them18:45
mang0heh, yeah18:45
mang0holstein it might be a bios problem, how do I check if my Bios is set up okay?19:45
holsteinmang0: its really case by case20:05
holsteinyou cant get it to boot the CD ?20:05
mang0As I can well imagine! Yes I can boot from the CD, but I can not install20:05
mang0I need 2.7GB space, and it is telling me I don't have it...20:05
mang0Even though I have two 120GB hard drives20:06
mang0holstein ^20:07
holsteinmang0: whats on the drives?20:07
holsteinyou said they were SATA?20:08
mang0On one of them (C) I have all my stuff - Windows, software etc20:08
mang0the other one is empty20:08
mang0they are both NTFS20:08
holsteini would unplug the one with all your stuff20:08
holsteinthen, i would probably go in and blank it20:08
holsteinsee if gparted sees it20:08
holsteinand get it nice and blank20:09
holsteinthen, try the installer20:09
mang0how do i blank it?20:09
holsteinand let me know20:09
holsteinmang0: using gparted20:09
holsteinthats an easy GUI way20:09
mang0*confused*20:09
mang0Gparted doesn't see it20:09
holsteinOK20:09
holsteinthats not good20:09
holsteinmang0: have you tried a parted magic disc?20:09
holsteinwhat kind of hard drives are these?20:10
mang0one sec20:10
mang0gonna screenshot20:10
mang0hm20:11
mang0they are NTFS20:11

mang0http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/4/11712260312-orig.jpg20:12
mang0you can see the stuff there20:12
holsteinyou got hardware RAID or something else odd?20:12
holsteinits not going to be the hard drives then20:13
holsteinor the format20:13
holsteinits going to be the SATA controller i think20:14
mang0so what should I do?20:14
holsteinwell20:15
holsteintell me if you have hardware raid set up or not20:15
holsteinand then tell me what the sata controller is ;)20:15
holsteinget that live CD running on there20:15

mang0and no i dont20:19

mang0if you like I can burn it20:19
mang0...20:19
holsteinhttp://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/20:20
holstein^ i would try that20:20
mang08.04?!20:20
holsteinsee if gparted can see your drives20:20
holsteinthen, note the kernel version20:20
mang0okay........if it can, should I just install it from that liveCD? and then I can update20:20
holsteinnah20:20
holstein*well, not yet20:21
holsteinwe're just collecting information20:21
mang0Thing is, I only have a limited amount of CDs here....and my download speed is crappy....like, srsly crappy20:21
holsteinyou dont have to*20:22
holsteinits just an idea20:22
holsteinits nice to have diagnostic discs around though20:22
holsteini routinely use ubuntu 8.04, 10.04, puppy linux, gparted discs, maybe knoppix20:22
holsteinfor me, sometimes its easier to just try a kernel out20:23
holsteina really different one20:23
holsteinand then look up what the differences are20:23
holsteini mean, if i were you20:23
holsteini would probably just put a PATA drive in somewhere20:23
holsteinand install ubuntu on it20:23
mang0Hmm20:23
mang0tell you what20:23
mang0I'm gonna burn the 11.04 CD20:23

holsteinnot that theres anything wrong with that22:39
eiriksvinwell this sint a home network22:39

holsteinthats the typical setup22:47
holsteinnot so with linux22:47
holsteinError404NotFound: i would say ubuntu is still safer than a windows box running AV22:48
holsteinits also still a matter of statistics22:48
holsteinhackers dont want to bother with a small perentage of desktop base22:48
