<0> !firefox1.5
<1> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
<2> or do it in synaptic
<3> 'evening everyone
<4> yeah, synaptic is probably easier; learn to use vi though, it will save your life one day!
<5> Hello, now Im getting this error when i try to update.E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libnautilus-extension1_2.12.1-0ubuntu1.2_i386.deb: files list file for package `dmidecode' is missing final newline
<3> vi for the win
<6> I get this error when I try to mount an nfs share
<6> unknown special file or file system.
<2> nano is easier
<3> but vi is superior :P
<0> VIM FOR THE WIN
<7> ed ! ed! the standard!
<2> yer but a arse for noobs
<3> doesn't mean it isn't best :P
<3> but yes, that is true
<4> yeah, vi is one of those things you hate until you sit down and learn it. imo
<0> volCOM_b0i, seriously man
<0> I learned it and wow
<8> i still don't see why linux is that much better than microsoft
<7> emacs isn't *that* slow, really...
<9> Someone mentioned that I might be able to fix my hard drive problem with "labels" (my hard drive was moved to a different slot -- a thinkpad ultrabay and now won't boot becuase it says 'cant find sda1' or something similar). I can boot into a # prompt, but it's not my regular directory. Can it be fixed from there? I can't boot into the regular Ubuntu screens.
<8> it's about the same really
<2> vi is not clear at all when doing commands like saving and quiting
<3> ok guys, this should be easy. why does it tell me i don't have glib 2.0 installed when i try to compile swfdec for flash on PPC? ***uming i really don't have it, where do i get it? it's not in the repos...
<10> there is also gvim for graphical
<11> Ramnath: Because it was free, shipped too my door, and doesn't crash on me?
<2> :write
<0> Half-Left, :save filename, or :w
<2> :qa
<12> anyone here make gdesklet applet things? i need to know how to convert a string to an int
<4> it is very clear :w :q
<0> :q!
<2> wtf
<0> :wq
<4> if you fuxxx it up :qa!
<7> ZZ
<0> :q!
<13> so i cant get my freakin ati card to work
<13> :/
<7> Is "ZZ" the same as ":wq" ?
<14> ok now i get this
<3> yeah
<11> blanky: What are you doing?
<14> E: Malformed line 37 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)
<14> E: The list of sources could not be read.
<14> Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
<0> ubotu tell brettzilla about ati
<3> i use ZZ and :wq with roughly equal requency, and they seem to work identically
<14> does it want me to put in the cd-rom
<13> yeah i saw that, but i just read that there's a way to do it with 2 commands.
<4> brettzilla, you gotta get fglrx for some ati cards.
<5> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libnautilus-extension1_2.12.1-0ubuntu1.2_i386.deb: files list file for package `dmidecode' is missing final newline
<5> what is this error I cant update.
<13> i realize that
<13> i've been trying for 2 days
<3> j-linux: your problem is with your boot loader. i think Ubuntu generally uses GRUB, so you need to edit the boot label in /etc/grub.conf
<13> i've gone as far as recompiling it
<11> brettzilla: Get it with apt from the seveas repo.
<4> make sur eyou have kernel headers installed
<2> nah, nano works like a GUI text editor
<13> saveas repo?
<11> !seveas
<1> Seveas has a semi-popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
<4> and after you get it all installed, try to reconfigure your xserver. it worked for me.
<4> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i think it is
<9> Mosi: Do you know where I can find that? I can boot into a # prompt, but I hit "ls" and it doesn't look like my regular file system.
<9> (e.g., no "home" directory)
<4> make sure you choose fglrx instead of ATI when you reconfigure
<15> I am trying to setup wirlesss network when I run sudo modprobe -r bcmwl5 I get a msg ( Module bcmwl5 not found.) What I shd do?
<4> salah, you ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
<3> j-linux if you type "cd /" it will set your current directory to your system root. etc is directly under that. (cd /etc) will takeyou straight to the directory you need)
<13> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=142427#8
<13> thats what im talking about
<4> you have to have those drivers though, are they in the directory your working in?
<4> copy all your windows wireless drivers into a folder and type that
<4> in terminal
<4> and after you type that, sudo ndiswrapper -l
<4> and make sure hardware and software is present
<9> Mosi: thank, I will try that...
<4> if it is, sudo ndiswrapper -m
<3> j-linux: do you know how to use any command-line editors?
<4> then sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
<3> j-edit: text editors that is
<4> to make sure ti is working, now you can use commands to connect.
<4> sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
<3> heh, j-edit....
<4> that will scan for networks
<9> Mosi: emacs
<4> sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid (network name)
<4> sudo dhclient wlan0
<3> j-linux: good deal. do you happen to know what the device file that contains yoru home directory on it is?
<15> i don't get it,Can u explain ltl more?
<4> that should get your wireless working.. Screw the GUI prorgams, use the command line, it is far easier and works 100%
<4> you need a program to wrap around your windows drivers to make them work in linux. that is what ndiswrapper does
<9> Mosi: what do you mean? (sorry... I'm not an advanced user)
<13> so how do i edit grub? i've got like 8 things in my list
<13> mostly repeats
<3> j-linux: can you describe what you did to your hardware that caused the problem?
<4> when you type 'sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf' you are telling ndiswrapper to install the driver bcmwl5.inf
<15> So, How can I setup it?
<4> HAHA, I am telling you.
<0> !mplayer
<1> mplayer is probably https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MplayerInstallHowto For compiling, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31061
<16> morning
<4> first you need to get your wireless drivers in a folder
<4> your windows ones, they are probably found on your restore disk that came with your computer.
<2> brettzilla, /boot/grub/menu.lst
<4> should be in a folder called WLAN
<13> thanks!
<13> gedit?
<13> or nano
<13> right
<9> Mosi: I had ubuntu breezy on my thinkpad -- 100% of the drive. I took out the hard drive and put it in an ultrabay adapter and now it wont boot. So basically, just changed the locaiton of the hard drive and now it says something like "can't find sda1" and gives me a # prompt.
<15> yah
<16> when i boot ubuntu, it always loads my snd modules, is there any way for me to disable that?
<2> whatever suits you
<13> thanks.
<4> when you get them in a folder, you go to that directory in a terminal
<15> Where I should copy them ? in dextop or other place?
<4> you can dir to make sure they are there, and your in the right place
<2> remember to sudo :-)
<17> Anyone running flight 5 yet?
<6> I get permission denied whenever I try to mount a linux nfs share from osx. Does anyone know why?
<4> when you are in the folder, you can begin to install the drivers with ndiswrapper.
<2> Morrowyn, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
<4> you type this
<4> sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
<4> that will install it
<16> ok thanks
<4> sudo ndiswrapper -l
<0> !multiverse
<1> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
<4> that will check to make sure it is installed right; you want to to say software present, hardware present
<4> if it says hardware present, and software present
<4> you can move on
<4> sudo ndiswrapper -m
<4> that will add a modprobe entry so you don't have to modprobe after every reboot
<18> ok, I am going out of my mind
<3> j-linux: during the process of booting up, your computer starts out running BIOS directly off the motherboard, this is a very simple, primitive stage that doesn't have very much intelligence. That p***es the job of booting off to a few other stages one at a time, each one progressively smarter and more complicated then the last. The second to last stage is your boot loader, which should be GRUB. GRUB looks for all the necessary filesystem
<3> s and such, and it refers to them by special files called device files that are contained in the system directory '/etc'
<19> hai
<15> sudo: ndiswrapper: command not found
<15> I am getting this msg
<19> hai
<4> have you installed ndiswrapper?
<4> sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils
<18> my first ubuntu install, I could play americas army just fine. But i had to reinstall, and now it won't play the game for spit. Driver changes the same, etc... but it won't do more than 8 fps, when it did 30 before. any ideas?
<20> there's always a keg of beer and a block of cheese
