<0> tritium: my live dapper cd didn't install it
<1> ooooh i just went sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.... exciting
<0> tritium: i don't even have a /boot/grub/splash folder.
<2> arrgg I want a pretty grub
<3> How can i "program" mouse buttons (like extra buttons)
<4> sorry ,what 's the apt-get dist-upgrade????
<5> Ar2No, you may want to look for a file called resolve.conf and add them in there also. I'll see if I can get into mine, and get you the proper line for that file.
<0> tritium: or how do i enable it?
<6> i see a lock folder with my File System folder. Althought i am logged in as root. I used sudo chown but i know i am missing something. Help will be appreciated
<4> what 's the "dist-upgrade "
<7> williswatson it makes your distrobution newer
<4> 3s
<8> makko: for the grub splash image, you need to supply one, and edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst to make grub aware of it
<8> makko: surely you have usplash installed (please verift)
<3> tritium: are you familiar with splashy
<8> verify even
<8> zach: no, sorry
<1> i was going to do a fresh install, but this seems much quicker
<2> SD: that's what I did
<9> zach - Check out imwheel and see if it is what you need.
<2> that's probably why I don't have a graphical grub
<1> arrrgh
<5> Actually, I'm not able to get into my resolve.conf file. I'm in the middle of an installation. If someone else could do a pastebin of theirs, that would be great. We're looking specifically for Default Gateway and DNS lines.
<10> what do i need to set up ndiswrapper and where can i download the packages please
<1> who needs graphical grub anyway? real mean type root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) each time
<1> *real men
<2> how can I run the screensaver without waiting a long time?
<11> Hello. I'm a long-time linux holdout. I'm trying to set up writable SAMBA shares with Drapper
<5> wizzlefish, I would decrease the wait time to 1 or so.
<12> would someone mind helping me figure out why wep isn't working on my laptop
<12> ?
<2> AlwaysIcey: is there a way to do it via terminal?
<13> !tell T8y8 about samba
<14> hi everyone
<5> I'm not sure.
<15> how do I resume after hibernating on a laptop? My screen is all black, but the power button light is on, pressing it does nothing
<16> pgavin, what network card do you have?
<14> has anyone ever tried gcdw
<14> ?
<17> AlwaysIcey, I have a totally new /etc/resolv.conf :)
<13> T8y8: read what ubotu sent you.
<10> can someone link me to the packages needed for ndiswrapper
<12> I'm using network manager. I can connect to the ap without wep... I'm using an airo card
<18> wizzlefish, gnome-screensaver-command --activate
<5> Could you pastebin it for Ar2No to look at nickrud? Thank you.
<12> the 802.11b version
<15> How do I resume after hibernating?
<3> iiiears: it seems like it should...but i cannot figure out how to configure it
<17> AlwaysIcey, it's really specific to this new router/dsl modem, but I will
<4> is there Someone play the wow in ubuntu????????
<0> USPLASH has NOTHING to do with my question!
<0> USPLASH doesn't deal with the boot MENU!
<5> Ok, He mainly needs to know the format of the lines. So, it will work for him anyhow. Thanks again nickrud.
<13> williswatson: there are lots of howtos on the forums, suggest you look there.
<10> maybe 3rd times the charm
<10> can someone link me to the packages needed for ndiswrapper
<17> AlwaysIcey, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15280

<0> tritium: when i ran usplash
<13> williswatson: ubuntuforums.org
<0> tritium: i am calm, but i am just angry
<20> can someone suggest a pcmia wireless card that DOES play nice with Ubuntu?
<8> makko: why did you try to run it?
<0> tritium: i thought it would offer some setup choices
<8> makko: no, no
<13> Geoffrey2: check the wiki, there's a hardware compatability section: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
<0> tritium: now i know it does not :)
<10> you guys are useless
<0> thunderwolf318: why do you say that?
<1> xscreensaver-command --activate also works
<8> thunderwolf318: be nice
<15> thunderwolf318: I know youll need some linux header files... http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/
<13> makko: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30341
<0> thunderwolf318: doesn't synaptic resolve deps for ndiswrapper?
<10> iv asked for a url to the ndiswrapper packages or atleast a place to get them 3 times :/
<8> patience, thunderwolf318
<10> not when you dont have internet on the machine
<9> thunderwolf318: Did this link help?
<8> thunderwolf318: do you not know how to search with synaptic, or apt-cache search?
<9> !ndiswrapper
<21> hmm... ndiswrapper is a way to support Windows wireless drivers, but it is buggy compared to native support. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
<8> Why ask for a URL if you have no internet access?
<10> tritium, not when i dont have a ubuntu machine that has intert access
<10> because its another machine
<13> tritium: he's talking on here, obviously he has some access.
<22> hi all :)
<10> and im not running ubuntu on this machine
<15> thunderwolf: I just did the same the other day, you need to download the linux headers for your kernel @ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/
<23> !ndiswrapper
<21> it has been said that ndiswrapper is a way to support Windows wireless drivers, but it is buggy compared to native support. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
<8> Flannel: which makes his statement all the more odd
<13> tritium: nah, not really. it means he has to download all the dependencies beforehand. not too odd at all.
<15> thunderwolf: And I cant remember all of the other dependencies
<10> tritium, a person can have more than 1 computer
<8> thunderwolf318: nevertheless, don't call people useless. Be kind here, and follow the Code of Conduct
<15> thunderwolf: And ndiswrapper is here http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/
<17> thunderwolf318, it's a tool I used a few years ago, but you can use a usb dongle with: apt-zip
<24> anyone know how to get around xawtv's inability to stretch the display to fullscreen in xinerama?
<10> not helping is what earns that. ignoreing is what deservers that
<8> thunderwolf318: no, not at all
<8> !patience
<21> The people in this channel are volunteers. Please be aware there are a lot of questions, but only maybe few who might know the answer for you. Please be patient. Your attitude may determine their willingness to help you.
<9> thunderwolf318: lol - Okay, you won't be invited to the christmas party. - just kidding.
<17> thunderwolf318, bottom line is, I'm willing to point you at a tool that might work, cuz it worked for me once. Others won't, cuz they work for free
<15> After hibernating, my laptop is irresponive. How do I start it back up?
<25> i have a question i would like to ask
<8> pres348: power button
<10> the last christmas pary i went to didnt go so well anyway.................. still getting over that one
<8> geotsai: ask away :)
<10> but calling you guys useless did get me alot of help heh
<15> tritium: Irresponsive too. Press it, nothing happens.
<26> Anyone wanna help me with something (setting up x on the server-install of 5.10)
<25> how do i get mp3's working in xfmedia
<8> thunderwolf318: just drop it, dude
<25> i downloaded the codecs and stuff
<10> ok whatever
<25> using synaptec
<8> pres348: so you're saying it won't turn on at all?
<27> can i install grub to my mbr, for a drive with ntfs/ext3?
<8> yes, facts
<17> geotsai, try installing libxine-extracodecs
<28> facts: the mbr is the first sector and is not part of any filesystem
<28> AFAIK
<15> tritium: It sits there, screen off, but the power LED is on and the power button LED is on, but pressing any key, the power button, etc, does absolutely nothing, i have to hold down the power button until the system shuts off.
<27> frank, sure but i've tried to reinstall grub and no dice, and i thought i read somewhere you can't do it with ext3
<0> Flannel: thank you. now any idea why a splash grub menu image is not default in dapper (although it was in breezy)? why this step back? (it's strange to me! many newbyes are prejudiced against text menus, especially after they use suse or mandriva, and will think ubuntu is inferior.)
<8> pres348: are you waiting long enough for the sytem state to be written to swap before it shuts down?
<28> facts: what happens when you boot?
<13> makko: what are you talking about?
<27> i boot into windows, like grub isn't even there..
<27> so i have to stick in the ubuntu cd and tell it to boot the first hard drive
<13> makko: what do you mean no grub splash in dapper?
<0> Flannel: i am talking about a grub menu splash image
<0> Flannel: i have no splash image by default in dapper!
<15> tritium: How long is long enough? There is no harddrive activity that I can observe...
<17> geotsai, did that work?
<8> makko: grub splash images was not included by default because usplash is used for the pretty eye candy
<13> makko: there's no grub menu displayed in dapper, it's hidden by default.
<28> facts: how did you reinstall it? you need to do a sudo grub-install /dev/hda to install it to hda
<25> i cant find it in synaptics
<15> tritium: It seems suspended to me, and the harddrive LED doesnt blink
<8> pres348: it can take a few minutes
<0> Flannel, tritium: i am talking about the MENU splash image, not about the booting splash image
<26> how would one go about installing the gui on a server-install of breezy
<8> makko: I know
<0> Flannel: it is not hidden when one has more partitions
