<DaveHowe> LOL ! "hello computer"
<Mr_Eko> how can i rewrite the mbr
<Mr_Eko> i installed ubuntu on a laptop that has WinXP home
<Mr_Eko> but, on grub when i select boot WinXP
<Mr_Eko> Shoots an error
<DaveHowe> Mr_Eko: easiest is to use the xp installer cd and do a repair
<Mr_Eko> debian and ubuntu are similar, right?
<DaveHowe> yeah
<DaveHowe> ubuntu is based on debian
<DaveHowe> so is knoppix, for that matter
<Tomco> i need help
<schitzo> Tomco : www.enzyte.com
<Tomco> how to install a driver for my sound card
<Mr_Eko> this is an odd question
<Mr_Eko> how do you clean your laptop screen?
<Tamahome> a chamois is usually good
<mwilson> A damp cloth.
<syn-ack> hah
<syn-ack> I just went off on a bill collector who basically demaned that I wake my brother so that she can talk to me
<syn-ack> s/me/him
<Tamahome> how about you **** my leftie, ma'am?
<syn-ack> I was like "You call MY house and DEMAND you speak to my brother and he's unavalible. **** YOU BITCH."
<syn-ack> Needless to say, she hung up on me
<syn-ack> w00t
<Tamahome> wow... is the PHP5 ISAPI module ever fast compared to the CGI
<syn-ack> well, thankfully PHP isnt a slow hack compared to JAVA
<DaveHowe> well, in its defense at least php is easier than perl :)
<syn-ack> Perl is evil and anyone who says otherwise is a liar. :)
<DaveHowe> oh, its *designed* to be evil
<DaveHowe> its the language of choice for bofhs :)
<syn-ack> Im a former BoFH and I didnt use Perl for **** unless I didnt write it.
<DaveHowe> and how is this a contradiction? I idn't say bofhs trusted other people's perl... that would be silly :)
<DaveHowe> even intercal is more readable than perl
<DaveHowe> although sendmail.cf isn't :)
<syn-ack> heh. Im more of a sh junkie
<reality> Embrace the perl
<cappicard> I was using a bash script for backing up my code until I installed and setup subversion
<Tamahome> sendmail.cf looks like someone bashed their head on the keyboard
<Tamahome> THANK THE GODS for the m4 macros
<syn-ack> heh
<cappicard> Sean, it looks like someone was drunk when messing with Lisp or something
<syn-ack> Postfix, baybee
<Mr_Eko> what´s the meaning of the names of te ubuntu rleases?
<syn-ack> Hell, maybe even Exim, but gods WHY OH WHY sendmail
<Tamahome> Derek: DJ Bernstein can blow me.
<cappicard> it works for me (tm)
<syn-ack> Mr_Eko: To make people like you ask that question
<cappicard> syn-ack: sendmail blows slimy donkey nuts
<syn-ack> cappicard: Exactly.
<cappicard> granted qmail is a pita to initially setup
<cappicard> but it is stable as can be once it is setup
<cappicard> we got 16 domains hosted on our qmail server
<syn-ack> heh. nice
<cappicard> it's housed on a proliant 5500
<cappicard> (only has 4 PPro 200 cpus)
<syn-ack> cappicard: at least its not a Dell
<cappicard> heh
<syn-ack> Hell, I like HP anyway, so my opion is a bit biased anyway
<DaveHowe> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames?highlight=%28names%29%7C%28code%29
<cappicard> few of our clients are on their 2nd hard drive (and they're using power edge servers)
<cappicard> but it seems that power edges put out around 2 years ago blow
<syn-ack> Dell just blows.
<cappicard> I like their laptops and desktops though
<DaveHowe> yeah. if dell ever made anything that didn't **** AND blow, it would be a fan :)
<cappicard> if I have to do an RMA, they drag their heels
<syn-ack> cappicard: Use a GX 50 for a year and half and then come back and tell me that You like their desktops and lappies
<cappicard> a 50? yuck
<cappicard> I don't like their optiplex line lately
<syn-ack> I havent liked it since they started putting them to market
<cappicard> that's the major line of theirs I don't like
<syn-ack> Like I said, I use HP so Im biased to begin with
<cappicard> we have mostly HP servers here. We only use a GX 110 as our smoothwall box
<syn-ack> hell, I wouldnt trust a Dell even THAT much
<cappicard> and two GX1a for our external DNS boxen
<libolt> heh I've been happy with my dell inspiron 9300 laptop, thing is blazing fast for what I need
<Tamahome> we liked the Dells we had at my old job.
<cappicard> they'r both running obsd 3.0 :)
<syn-ack> ok, well Im off to visit some friends
<syn-ack> later
<libolt> cappicard: 3.0? isn't that rather ancient?
<cappicard> yeah it is by a few years, but there's very little reason to upgrade those two boxen
<cappicard> all they do is serve DNS
<libolt> no security flaws?
<cappicard> they're both behind a PIX 501
<Tamahome> PIX's are so g'damn expensive
<cappicard> ours is the 10-seat version
<cappicard> the 501e if I recall
<cappicard> I don't touch our PIX.. I let my cisco brainiac handle that one.
<DaveHowe> PIX boxen are easy
<DaveHowe> they used to be hard, but they revamped the language until ht was virtually the same as ios
<Lion-O> hmm, rather slow evening
<DaveHowe> read though /cisco network security/ will tell you everything you need to know :)
<Cynic> hey Lion-O
<Mr_Eko> ok... FINALLY, ubuntu can see my card
<Mr_Eko> how can i detect the wlans that are here?
<Lion-O> 'see' ? It only picks up what you configured.
<DaveHowe> and because most of the lusers can't even get THAT right, they provide a nice little gui tool to create the pix rules fo ryou
<Lion-O> Mr_Eko: depends on what software you use for that. RTFM comes to my mind.
<Lion-O> Mr_Eko: iirc one of the commandline tools is 'iwconfig', but some cards also ship other specific tools.
<cappicard> very delicious eye candy and doesn't bog down a Pentium 3 933 :)
<cappicard> unlike its predecessor
<Mr_Eko> how can i add the wi-fi adapter to the boot process?
<cappicard> wiki.ubuntu.com and READ
<Lion-O> Mr_Eko: depends on what you meant by that.. If you mean configure the network... What cappicard said. One hint: /etc/network.
<DaveHowe> usually, you add it to modules.conf. not sure if ubuntu has some arcane process for that though - but that shoudl give you something to look for
<cappicard> plenty of documentation
<Mr_Eko> i was wrestling with that adapter for a LOOONG time, and finally Ubuntu can sees it
<cappicard> anyone want some jalepeno pepper and hot italian sausage pizza? :)
<XyZzY> cappicard: still trying to melt peoples esophogases with that :P
<Mr_Eko> but, i can't find how to configure WPA
<Dave_ZZZ> cappicard: would love it, but tis going to be cold by the time it gets here
<XyZzY> ?
<Tamahome> Mr_Eko: read the ifconfig man page
<XyZzY> the jalepenos will keep it warm
<Mr_Eko> there's nothing about WPA on the if config man pare
<Mr_Eko> page
<Lion-O> Didn't I mention iwconfig earlier on?
<Mr_Eko> ifconfig != iwconfig
<Lion-O> Mr_Eko: I know.
<Mr_Eko> (20:32) · Tamahome · Mr_Eko: read the ifconfig man page
<Lion-O> Mr_Eko: obviously you're the one who has no ****ing clue what he's doing.
<Lion-O> configuring a network is done using ifconfig, configuring specific wifi details is done using both ifconfig and iwconfig. Now goto that url cappicard mentioned and read up on some basics.
<Mr_Eko> i'm reading it...
<Mr_Eko> how can i know if the wi-fi adapter is active?
<Mr_Eko> the led doesn't light up
<reality> Mr_Eko: Look man...either you read up on this **** or I'm going to donkey punch you in the nuts...take your pick
<Mr_Eko> i'm reading... i have already configure the card using the wiki
<Mr_Eko> but can't find any article regards the led of the laptop
<Tamahome> Cindy: calm down.
<Mr_Eko> y used this: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25683
<Mr_Eko> but as soon as i restarted i found out that i needed to type sudo modprobe ndiswrapper... i was asking if i can add that to the boot process
<reality> Mr_Eko: Yes
<Lion-O> actually, you asked how to add the the adapter to the startup sequence which could have meant just about anything.
<reality> Mr_Eko: Add it to your modules.conf or conf.modules file...
<reality> Now be gone with you until you read the **** at ndiswrapper's homepage
<Lion-O> but indeed, as Dave_ZZZ already mentioned earlier on...
<reality> Where all of this **** is explained
<Tamahome> almost time for Jack Bauer Power Hour
<Mr_Eko> if i do something like this: modprobe -l | grep ndiswrapper, it should show up if it's already on the modules.conf?
