Comments:
<0> thedevnull- Yeah.
<1> you dont have an internal card on your portable?
<1> kejup - seems a bit bulky to carry around with you
<2> !paste
<3> hmm... paste is please use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or #flood to paste large amounts of text
<2> guys heres what the readme says
<2> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7658
<0> thedevnull- Well, not this particular one. It's kind of a long story
<4> xbox_sky, If the docs are lame just email the guy.
<5> anyone running ubuntu on a widescreen laptop here?
<1> kejup - u have no internal wiresless card?
<2> ranf.. ok.. but what can you do if there's no ./config ?
<0> thedevnull- No.
<1> kejup - cuz this device is a pain in the a$$ to use with linux
<6> people how can I view the files in VI with colors?
<4> xbox_sky, i just looked at the zip. There are some txt files. Most not very useful. No configure. No Makefile.
<1> kejup - especially if you have to go in everytime and change the ssid and security parameters every time
<7> alex____: :syntax on, iirc
<2> ranf yup, but there should be a way to compile it
<8> I dont get this... why does my system not boot up well when I have more than 1gb ram?
<2> or?
<8> running custom kernel now on amd64.
<4> xbox_sky, sure. But I don't know how. Just ask the by email.
<0> thedevnull- thedevnull- Really? IMO, it is actually much easier to configure than many wireless cards because you can do all the configuration through the web interface.
<0> thedevnull- the only sticking point is the DHCP/IPsubnet thing.
<2> ok thanx for your help though ranf
<1> kejup - i would suggest getting a simple pcmcia wireless card and getting rid of that
<9> remember to check the chipsets too
<1> kejup - there are tons of good GUI"s for wireless in linux
<1> kejup - you can get one cheap on Ebay
<0> thedevnull- Most hotspots don't use the security parameters and the ssid is automatically selected with "any".
<9> prism 2.5 is a good chipset for linux from what i hear
<1> kejup - i have been in networking for 15 years
<10> bonjour
<10> j'ai install ubuntu
<1> kejup - ones that care bout security do
<7> !fr
<3> Va a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour aide et discussion en francais
<11> i have a 11mb for free
<1> kejup - check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WiFiDocs
<10> merci bcp pour m'avoir envoy ce cd :))
<0> thedevnull- I appreciate your advice, but for many reasons this device offers greater flexibility for my particular situation. For example, it can be used with nongeneral purpose hardware like Xboxes, etc.
<10> thanks a lot
<1> kejup - true but it sux from your own admission
<0> thedevnull- I'm really just looking for a way to basically ping whatever is connected to the ethernet port without knowing it's IP address.
<11> its for extending your wireless network
<0> thedevnull- There must be a way to do this.
<0> thedevnull- Is it possible to "ping" (or whatever command might do the trick) via MAC address?
<1> kejup - you might be able to create a static arp mapping
<6> _jason: how can I do that?
<0> thedevnull- how?
<7> alex____: open vim, press the keys: :syntax on, you probably want to put that in your .vimrc.
<1> kejup - man arp
<0> thedevnull- I read it, but it isn't very easy to understand.
<11> its a bridge
<0> thedevnull- There is a lot of vocabulary that I don't know.
<6> _jason: ok
<12> does anyone here have intel extreme graphics 2?
<13> Well
<13> i'll contact you from Ubuntu next time
<13> see ya
<0> thedevnull- The manual says that "arp" is for manipulating the "kernel's ARP cache". I don't even know what an ARP cache is or what function it serves.
<14> conn, what's the question?
<15> !seveas
<3> Seveas has a semi-popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
<12> Grarg: I'm having trouble with xorg, it won't display 1024x768 correctly (it looks more like 800x600 but only shows part of the screen)
<16> I heard there was a version of ubuntu using XFCE as the default desktop. Does anyone know where I can get it?
<12> other resolutions work fine, such as 800x600 or 1280x1024
<14> odd
<14> I ***ume if you go to the edges of the screen, the desktop scrolls?
<9> evil: search for xubuntu
<0> thedevnull- What about the command "ping -b 255.255.255.255"? Does that require a connection to a DHCP server?
<17> !xubuntu
<3> somebody said xubuntu was Ubuntu using XFCE instead of Gnome for the desktop. Details here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu
<9> also there's a page in the wiki on how to get xfce running in regular ubuntu, search on it for lowendsystemsupport
<16> midwinter, thanks. :)
<17> :)
<12> Grarg: only partially, the outer edges of the screen can't be seen at all. My monitor shows an usual mode, "New Mode 70K / 87 Hz" (it should say the resolution instead of 70K, and it should be 75Hz)
<16> midwinter, hum. Seems to be in the early stages. :(
<12> *unusual
<9> evil try what i said :p
<14> conn, perhaps readjust your monitor settings?
<18> is "xserver" the same as Xfree86?
<12> Grarg: I can do that, but it's ignoring the refresh I specify in the config
<12> I don't want 87Hz
<14> hey, higher refresh rates are better on the eyes
<16> pdk, I'm on legacy hardware here. I'd rather not drag it down with a ton of kdelibs/gnome dependencies.
<17> EvilGrin, hm.. I think it's just a matter of installing xubuntu-desktop
<9> exactly evil
<9> the ubuntu wiki has a guide on configuring it to use xfce
<12> Grarg: I guess I don't trust it, the monitor doesn't seem happy with the mode, it could be beyond the recommend frequency (it can't recognise the new mode's resolution)
<1> kejup - you can create 2 "locations" in Systems >> Networking for your Ethernet card - one of which is DHCP and one with a static IP address on 192.168.0.x network and everything will work if you switch profiles based up how you are connected .. i.e. via ethernet (at home/work) on Lan or via (netgear bridge) on Wifi network
<9> heh, it'd be awesome if they added support for stuff like window maker and fluxbox
<16> pdk, :)
<9> i wonder when we'll get wubuntu and flubuntu :p
<19> there is already a nubuntu
<17> well you can still do it yourself :)
<1> kejup - so you can switch between em based upon your situation (connectivity) that is
<9> what does nubuntu run
<6> _jason: hey men thanks
<19> fluxbox
<9> heh
<20> !fluxbox
<3> fluxbox is, like, a lightweight window manager. Installation instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fluxbox. More information at http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net
<19> nubuntu is a hackers livecd
<9> now we just need to nag them to do window maker :p
<9> or dare i say it
<20> !nubuntu
<3> eightiesk: Not a clue
<9> ratpoison
<20> lol
<19> eightiesk its on nubuntu.org
<19> ratpoison is for the 386 dx with 2mb of ram
<20> o know.
<20> i know
<20> i was being a smart ***
<20> lol
<19> lol
<9> i wonder how many ubuntu forks for each window manager we'll eventually end up
<9> probably more than there are sims expansion packs :p
<0> thedevnull- That helps. However, it still has the problem that I would have to disconnect to check the wireless status. Do you know anything about that broadcast ping command that I mentioned?
<16> pdk, that lowendsystem page is pretty decent :)
<1> kejup - not a very "polite" thing to do on a network that you do not administer
<20> owner, i still can't figure how to install thems and window decorations
<20> lol
<1> kejup - the 2 location profiles should help you -- and ultimately a new network card. =)
<16> pdk, ah even better, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingXubuntu :)
<19> someone posted a kde theme manager link
<9> wowzers
<19> http://www.kde-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=8
<0> thedevnull- I see. How about this? Is there any way to have all traffic sent to "192.168.0.200" come from "192.168.0.201" and all other traffic use the DHCP address?
<18> what does this mean ?configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
<0> thedevnull- Also, does the broadcast ping depend on DHCP server? I mean, if I did it before my wireless bridge was ***ociated then it would just be between me and the bridge (with no DHCP server). So there would be no politeness issues in that case.
<1> kejup - sorry man I gotta run i gotta do some studying - you can post to the forums or mailing list and we all would be happy to help you more
<19> lukus001, sudo apt-get install build-essential
<1> kejup - do the location profiles and change between them that is the easiest way
<18> owner, ty
<21> help!!
<19> np
<1> kejup - good luck man and have a good one. =)
<0> thedevnull- Thanks, bye.
<21> help! iptables problem!!
<1> later dude
<21> can anyone help me :$
<21> ?
<22> michael__: maybe if you actually ask a question
<20> owner, you rock
<23> Hi @ all... is there someone who knows about ASUS A6U Laptop?
<21> i want to do an ipforwarding (public port 80 to private computer of my LAN)
<19> thanks eighties
<19> lol
