[01:04] how do I get to hardware drivers in 11.10? [01:06] brecar921: what kind of drivers? [01:06] !jockey [01:06] Factoid 'jockey' not found [01:06] wireless adapter [01:06] I meant to say, drivers for what kind of hardware? [01:07] for a netgear wireless adapter [01:09] Hmm, you know the device name? Like rt3920? [01:13] On this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNR0Wvg1k5I the guy shows how to set up a NetGear wireless adapter using a driver by Broadcom ( bcmwl-kernel-source) which I have installed but it does not self-activate like it does for the guy in the video. he started to go to preferences > hardware drivers when it looked like it was not going to work. Since mine is not working I want to try that but it looks like he is [01:13] the device name is WNA3100 [01:16] still here [01:30] jalcine: any ideas? [01:31] No, I'm sorry, I was actually checking if there were sources for your drivers, but I'm not sure if there is. [01:32] according to the guy in the video, the broadcom drivers work just fine. [01:32] how do I get to hardware drivers in 11.10? [01:34] Jockey should install drivers for you. [01:34] BUT there is a solution. [01:34] Do you have drivers for the application for Windows? [01:34] !ndiswrapper [01:34] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:34] !info ndiswrapper [01:34] * jalcine thinks that's the package name. [01:34] Yes, I think that link would have it. [01:35] yes, i have the cd [01:35] But you can use drivers for Windows designed for wireless drivers using NDIS. [01:36] i read on some sites that often times that performs poorly. i would rather try it the way the guy did it in the video [01:36] in the video the guy went to preferences > hardware drivers.....why can I just do that in 11.10?? [01:39] I'm not sure, and NDIS hasn't failed me when I needed drivers. [01:39] The only deficit might be that it runs the device as generically as possible, so eccentric/special features of the device might not be available. [01:40] It's an option known to work and is supported. [01:40] I do not need any of the eccentric features [01:40] Chances are that that guy in the video is running an older version of Ubuntu. [01:40] yea, that is what i said at the very beginning... [01:40] (couldn't view it b/c his 'net connection is like 80Kb/s) [01:40] oh, sorry [01:41] hmmm [01:41] how do i get to ndis? [01:41] Install ndisgtk on your system. [01:42] The application should become visible after installing within Dash. [01:42] OK, i will try it out [01:42] new question [01:42] somehow i set my keyboard up so that the single and double quote marks do not work properly [01:42] * jalcine readies himself :) [01:43] how can I reset? [01:43] :) [01:43] Hm, that's out of my domain of knowledge. :$ [01:43] Sounds like a Keyboard Layout issue, though. [01:45] allright, i will work on that later [01:45] new question [01:45] ready? [01:46] Heh, keep them coming [01:48] i tried to enable the firewall and it would not accept the rule that i set up; now, any new web connection I try to establish does not work. I went back and disabled the firewall - at least it that is what it looked like I did....the streaming music I have going and this chat does not work, but any new connections still do not work. how to fix? [01:50] sorry, meant to say: the streaming music I have going and this chat DOES work [01:52] Hmm, when it comes to firewalls, iptables and that jazz, you can def. count me out. [01:52] But if you know the ports and are familiar with ufw, then I think gufw would be decent for you. [01:52] !gufw [01:52] Factoid 'gufw' not found [01:53] ಠ_ಠ [01:53] !ufw [01:53] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [02:28] fixed the keyboard AND the firewall... [02:31] brecar921: Good job! [02:36] OK, now I am trying to install the netgear wireless driver from the CD using ndisgtk [02:38] i clicked on install new driver, the browse window comes up, the CD for WNA3100 (the wireless device) shows along with other options; I select the WNA3100 then it shows multiple files and folders on the CD. Do I just select the one ending in .inf (autorun) or .ini (setup) ? [02:39] .ini [02:39] I got: "not a valid driver .inf file" [02:42] then I'm guessing the .inf :P [02:44] OK, then it tells me 'driver is already installed' is there a way to verify? [02:45] Is the device plugged in? [02:45] And I believe that if you check the output of either "ifconfig" or "iwconfig" (the latter specifically tailored for wireless devices), you should see a device with its driver name [02:47] i closed out of the the 'windows wireless drivers' and opened it back up again and it says 'autorun invalid driver' [03:11] jalcine- are you there? === synaptix|TF2 is now known as synaptix|ubuntu [03:23] Hello there?! [04:41] Hi all [04:41] I am kinda new to linux [04:44] I am running lxde is there a way to keep monitor settings [04:45] keep?.. i use arandr [04:45] I keep having a problem with apps opening with small front [05:04] hii anyone there [05:06] hii [05:15] what is the best light weight browser with flash support for linux [05:18] dstar: Flash support typically is independent of the browser so even if the client's light, the plug-in could slow it down. [05:18] thanks jalcine [05:18] That said, I'd point you in the direction of Firefox or Chromium [05:19] I have chromium installed [05:19] * jalcine remembers. [05:19] You might need the PPAPI plug-in or use Canonical's imported plugin. [05:19] Have to install "flashplugin-installer" [05:20] it has flash on this browser [05:20] wanted to test an other browser with flash [05:22] I am running a very low end system and video sticks with chromium [05:22] but audio is perfect [05:23] Hmm. [05:23] please remember I am a noob at linux [05:23] Personally, I haven't experimented that far. [05:23] But installing and toying with apps isn't difficult :) [05:23] Try Firefox or Midori (a Gnome based web browser) [05:24] do u know the terminal name for firefox? [05:25] command? [05:26] It's just "firefox" :) [05:26] If you have it installed, it'd run [05:26] Otherwise a quick and easy "sudo apt-get install firefox" would get it. [05:39] dstar, chrome is good? [05:39] nice... === jalcine is now known as Guest87532 === JackyAlcine is now known as jalcine === jalcine is now known as jalcine_ === jalcine_ is now known as jalcine === yofel_ is now known as yofel === kingkong|aw is now known as kingkong [17:15] Guys: PiTiVi (the video editing software) has no codecs. I can't import anything to it, and upon a search for packages that have the codecs, nothing appears. [17:15] What's going on? [17:21] Hi Fanshawe [17:21] did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras [17:21] Ah, hey nothingspecial. [17:22] that package has most of the codecs for everything [17:24] I'll take a look, thank you === Petskull is now known as Pets-away === jalcine is now known as jalcine_ === jalcine_ is now known as Guest21090 [23:53] would anyone here know why the sudo dd command is not found when i try to install ubuntu on a usb stick for my macbook? [23:54] i am using terminal from my external drive with the install disk on it [23:54] would it be because i'm not using os x that that command does not exist? [23:59] i am using snow leopard install disk if that's petinent [23:59] pertinent*
