Comments:
<0> Sorry, heh :|
<1> yea definatly sounds right to me
<2> vbgunz, there is a package that can help a bit... qtconfig, I think it's called
<3> :(
<0> hintswen: Could be a faulty drive, but I doubt it.
<0> You got a spare drive around?
<4> Madpilot: ok, I will look into it!
<3> well the drive worked b4, so i just stuffed it up :(
<0> or even another IDE device?
<1> if its not showing up in bios that sounds bad to me
<2> vbgunz, "qt3-qtconfig" is the package - start it w/ "qtconfig"
<0> Try hooking up a CD-ROM to it.
<0> and see if gets detected
<3> umm... i have the 30GB drive but it has windows on it i think, an i have a cd drive
<4> Madpilot: ok, I will let you know how it works!
<2> vbgunz, it's not perfect, but it helps make the qt stuff look a bit less alien ;)
<1> wait ya have two harddrives on that ide cable?
<3> no, just the 120
<4> Madpilot: very cool, better than it is now I hope :)
<3> i tried to put the 30 and it stuffed up, so i took it out
<0> hintswen: Hook the CD-Drive up to the connector that you're trying to get the HDD to work on
<0> If that works, then it's more than likely a fault with the HDD.
<0> If not, it could be IDE cable, or IDE connector on motherboard.
<1> yea
<0> You really hope it's either HDD or IDE Cable, because if it's the Motherboard connector then ouch.
<1> yea ya can look.. make sure there arnt any bent pins on the motherboard or the hdd
<3> ?
<5> Well, I got the Live boot to work, but now it will not connect to the internet. Any suggestions?
<6> natebhere, have you configured it properly?
<0> That's true, bent pins will cause them to not show up, although it shouldn't even post.
<1> the tons of pins ya put the connector into.. make sure none of them are bent
<5> I dunno first time trying to use Ubuntu.
<1> heh.. saying what a computer should do and what it actually does..
<3> what if i switch the ide cables on my hdd and cd drive?
<5> I am using a Compaq Pressario and my inter net connction is off of a local Wi/Fi hot spot.
<3> leave the bit connected to motherboard, just switch where it's connected to the device
<4> Madpilot: it still looks ugly :(
<7> i have problem with sounds... and cd drives and card reader... they all are gone
<2> vbgunz, that's because qt is ugly :|
<4> :/
<1> well to test out the cable on the hdd.. yea but shouldnt leave it that way
<4> looks good on KDE but Gnome... yak...
<5> I know nothing of the ISP that it is from. Jus tthat Windows does all the work for me. Can you tell me what information I need to gather from the connection to import to Ubuntu?
<2> vbgunz, but if you fiddle with qtconfig a bit, you can at least get qt stuff looking inconspicious in Gnome...
<4> am going to see what I can do... at least you gave me a head start :)
<1> natebhere have ya set your access point and security key?
<7> i can hear very very little sound from speakers... master 100% and PCM81%
<5> I will have to say no be cause I have no idea what you are talking about. remember I am new to linux.
<1> well its windows too.. your wireless network has a name..and should have a security p***word using wep or wpa
<1> your gunna need that information
<3> ok... here's hat i did...
<5> Well, like I said Windows did alll the work for me, It just found the signal and connected to it
<5> No p***word
<3> unpluged the ide cable fromt he cd drive, unpluged the IDE cable from hdd and pluged that into a different cd drivr
<1> it should be in system/administration networking
<3> BIOS said cd drive is connected
<7> all started when i played ET and my computer screen sudently go black..
<0> so cd drive worked, but hdd didnt?
<1> ouch
<3> yes
<0> ok
<0> thats better than the mobo
<1> true
<7> i think that hdd is cd drive? :-/
<0> uhm, what mobo/bios is it?
<5> Data encryption is disabled. So it is not WEP
<1> make sure the hdd has no bent pins..
<3> AMIBIOS
<0> heh, was hoping for bios revision but ok
<5> network authentication is open
<5> not WPA
<3> Version 1.21.12
<1> natebhere are you using the network settings manager.. ya can click your wireless card and select your essid or wireless network name
<8> ok this is ridiculous....anyone ever see a prism2_config() fail on bootup? it says in dmesg for this XI-325 wireless b pcmcia card....anyone know whattup?
<9> slackern, can you repeat, please, what i should do at run command screen?
<7> how i can check that linux finds my cd-drive...
<9> slackern, i am the guy who lost panels in gnome

<0> lol ok, do you know what speed the cpu is?
<0> eg: 1600mhz
<3> umm... 2.4ghz i think
<7> me?
<0> ok, that rules out bios related (dont ask, train of thought is out of wack)
<1> might say when you boot up on the bios messages sometimes
<3> it's 2.4
<11> er, that's 1.42
<0> heh, 1.42ghz, what's that? AMD Athlon t'bird?

<0> hintswen: Ok, shalos recommended checking HDD pins, not a bad idea.
