Comments:
<0> soundray: it's a laptop. the touchpad is built in, the network is on a USB cable.
<1> jacob: Next time 'xset' yourself back to a normal repeat rate and delay. If you can manage to cut and paste the letters to type the command. ;)
<2> HymnToLife: I haven't tried that but I am running windows now, I can't magically go and boot up ubuntu, should I? I guess I'll need to get on irc from another comp then
<3> network on USB ?
<3> damn THAT's creepy
<2> what do you think might happen?
<0> soundray: if I just run a "cp" to copy a big file onto a remote server, my touchpad starts responding very slowly.
<0> HymnToLife: it is?
<3> sokuban> I guess you will have al the Windows computers of your network listed
<3> exactly the same ay as in Windows
<4> dooglus: that's annoying.
<1> The answer is "Cardbus." ;)
<2> ok but what would I have to do to the network to connect to it while on ubuntu?
<0> soundray: I was wondering if I could set the priority of the touchpad driver to be higher than the USB port somehow.
<0> soundray: maybe with 'nice'?
<3> sokuban> you mean to share files with Win users ?
<2> no to use internet
<2> oops your prolly thinking this is a network
<3> hmm
<4> dooglus: the nice equivalent for network traffic is QoS
<5> dooglus: the problem is probably that the touchpad is internally an USB device as well
<6> doooooooooooooooooinggggggggggggggggg it again
<6> i thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink it is active now
<0> iNiku: is there some way I can test that theory?
<2> according to my dad "there is a firewall, you can't stop it just give up whatever you are trying to do"
<5> dooglus: and it's on the same internal USB hub
<2> is this normal with some sort of firewall or something?
<4> dooglus: you could switch to legacy mode in the BIOS and see if it improves.
<3> sokuban> if a Windows box can connect, an Ubuntu should connect too
<7> dooglus: iirc there's a fairly experimental USB QoS option in the kernel configuration
<3> maybe some proxy settings
<0> iNiku: I just guessed at a command: 'lsusb' - that shows only one USB device is connected, the network card
<2> hmm how would I work with those?
<8> can anyone give me the name of the dapper channel?
<7> dooglus: not sure where you can get the user-space tools from (if it's even turned on in the ubuntu kernels)
<3> !dapper
<9> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support :)
<5> dooglus: hmm, okay, probably a wrong guess then
<8> thx
<3> sokuban> ask your dad :p
<2> he doesn't know anything about computers, and he will tell me to give up >_<
<1> dooglus: It's probably just interrupt load from the USB NIC.
<3> sokuban> well, you certainly did something so your Windows boxes could connect, right ?
<3> do the same on Ubuntu :)
<1> Watch your sys time in 'top,' and if it's spiking when you freeze up, get a Cardbus NIC or something. :P
<0> Floid: what's weird is that when I use a USB2 port instead of USB1.1, the problem doesn't happen, even though then the transfer speed is much faster
<2> alright, I'll try messing with the settings and come back if I need more help, at least I know now that if windows can connect I can do it with ubuntu
<7> dooglus: it wouldn't be unusual for it to be using a USB bus (look in BIOS)
<1> Probably because the device can use EHCI then, however that works.
<0> Floid: it could be that the USB2 port is on a pcmcia card, not part of the laptop, I don't know
<1> (Meaning USB2.0, meaning less load on the system per-byte-transferred.)
<0> Floid: I see. OK.
<1> Like I say, USB2 is probably just more less-stupid in that regard. ;)
<4> dooglus: just curious, do you know if your USB NIC supports wake-on-lan?
<0> the pcmcia USB2 card stopped working a while ago unfortunately
<1> The laptop doesn't have built-in ethernet?
<0> soundray: I've no idea.
<0> Floid: it used to. but it fell out.
<1> Heh.
<1> A MiniPCI card/
<1> ?
<4> dooglus: have you got the make & model name there?
<10> hi! no one here experienced with graphic cards?
<0> Floid: I tried sticking it back in, but it's not been the same since. It works now, but only if you push the ethernet cable in *really* hard
<8> Nihil: which one? ;)
<0> soundray: I can't remember even that. I think it's an ASIX, ethernet-to-USB thingy.
<10> Mastastealth: i wante to buy a graphic card, it's not a software problem but an hardware one :) can you help me, however?
<8> yes, one word, NVIDIA :D
<10> Mastastealth: obviously!
<8> after that, it depends on ur budget
<11> Hi, question about midi, I have it working some in wine
<4> dooglus: I've got a similar device, but can't make it work. The manufacturers have sent me driver source, but I haven't succeeded in compiling it yet.
<8> what range are you looking for? :)
<10> Mastastealth: i only wanted to know if (always with the same chipset) the brand, the manifacturer, matters
<11> followed advice from Franks Corner
<0> soundray: I couldn't get this one to work in windows xp, or in debian sid. but it worked in dapper as soon as I plugged it in.
<0> soundray: no driver installation was needed.
<4> dooglus: I'm impressed.
<4> dooglus: maybe I'll just go looking for another one.
<12> hello
<11> does anybody know why windows media player cannot play midi?
<10> Mastastealth: i'm looking for a Geforce 6800 256mb SLI PCI-E. I've seen a SW (unknown brand) in a bulk edition a lot of money less
<0> soundray: I'll take a look at the box when I can and let you know which it is.
<13> username_: this is an ubuntu linux support channel
<11> not wine?
<10> Mastastealth: are you euro zone or dollar zone?
<4> Thanks dooglus
<8> dollars
<13> username_: not windows media player :/
<11> wine
<12> does anybody know what to use as a dvd shrink on ubuntu
<10> Mastastealth: so we cannot compare the prices, couse you buy hw much less than me
<13> ubotu: tell username_ about midi
<11> I have it working
<8> aw...sry Nihil ^_^
<11> but some things do not work in wine, midi, and some do
<13> username_: you can ask questions about wine if you want, but #winehq may have people mofr familiar with it
<10> Mastastealth: the price isnt' a problem right now
<8> Nihil, so u just want the most bang for ur bucK?
<12> does dvd shrink work in ubuntu
<4> username_: why don't you use a native midi player for Linux?
<11> ok, got the chat from their site
<13> username_: you know you can play midi's without wine right?
<10> Mastastealth: i wanted to know if the manifacturer matters, cause 2 cards with the same chipset and configurations, can cost much more or less
<11> yes, I have timidity and a soundfont installed
<10> Mastastealth: the price's not a problem cause my matter is another :) i cannot buy the top, right at this moment. :(
<14> Quick question: after upgrading to Dapper, I can no longer run "gksudo firestarter"
<8> Nihil, sometimes yes, XFX, BFG, PNY are good manufacturers
<11> closely followed the instructions at Franks corner
<14> I get an error complaining of "Cannot open display"
<14> But my DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly.
<8> if you go to cheap, u can get lesser quality, maybe a hotter card or something
<4> dapatrick, hit Alt-F2 and enter the command there
<11> I am running Mepis 6 beta 2, based on ubuntu
<10> Mastastealth: so this SW can be a crappy card? but it costs 50-60% less...
<14> soundray: no dice
<14> It's very strange.
<10> Mastastealth: uhmmm, i've thought about a crappy cooler or something like this
<15> Hey
<4> dapatrick: try #ubuntu+1 -- it may be a dapper problem.
<8> Nihil, is SW and abbreviation? or the actual name
<14> Okay, thanks soundray.
<10> Mastastealth: I don't know!!!!
<12> do you use dvd shrink on ubuntu
<8> lol, do u have a link?
<10> Mastastealth: pvt
<15> Ok, so my laptop has been freezing up lately - I mean, the whole thing just stops, no response, even the animation on the cursor stops (if there happens to be one at the time). This seems to happen at totally random, arbitrary moments when nothing is going on (I'm usually not even touching it). Is this in any way possibly related to Ubuntu? (p.s. the system goes bgack to normal after I knock...
<15> ...it out and reboot)
<12> do you use any software on ubuntu that does the same as dvd shrink
<16> odyssey: what does dvd shrink do ?

<16> JayAll: paste again ?
<15> Paste what, tahorg
<12> shrinks dvd's from 8gig to 3.7 + decodes
<17> try acidrip ?
<12> something like dvd santa on xp
<18> ya there's a proggie...called um...
<15> odyssey: tar -cjf file.tar.bz2 <dvd directory>
<15> ;)
<16> spikeb: tango
<19> almost
<17> not sure if acidrip will rip to a smaller VOB but it does a nice job ripping to divx..
<18> its called k9copy
<20> !realplayer
<9> from memory, realplayer is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
<12> jayall what does that command do tar -cjf tar bz2
<15> odyssey: tar is .. kinda like WinZip
<15> but totally different ..
<15> Same general idea.
