Hi... Um... Ndiswrapper and 64-bit. Is there any way, any way at all, that I can get Ndiswrapper on 64 bit to work with 32 bit windows drivers? My RTL8187 is counting on some drivers from Windows 98...
i want to create a listing of my installed packages for system recovery purposes, and i want togroup by Origin (so manually-installed debs can be handled specially), but there's no data there :(
Atomic_UE: yes, i think it can change when certain changes happen to your network cards
how i can install a gtk theme in ubuntu 8.10???
it is listed as a recognized field in the man page for dpkg-query, so either something is spelled wrong or there's no Origin data being stored, and I'm not sure which is less likely
how do I get irssi to stop showing join/part messages?
is there a way to make network-manager make wifi connection right from the beginning (before the user login) ?
anyone have the B43 drivers in 8.10, if so, are they working?
ferfactor: system>preferences?appearance>'theme' tab>install.

Flannel: thanks..
emorris, thanks dude
Fr0zen_: I have the B43 drivers, and they are not working for me. Could you ack me-- just so I know my messages are getting out?
same they're not working for me either tauchris
:(
i can see you messages fine
I need the Windows 98 drivers for RTL8187. But I want to run 64-bit ubuntu. Is there any way at all to make this work?
tauchris: Nope, we can't hear you. Drivers must be broken.
Thanks.
tauchris
Fr0zen_: are you 64-bit?
how do I have to change permissions of a script so that they run as root? I tried chown root:root script.sh && chmod +s script.sh, but I still have to type in the admin password
Flannel: not working..
are you conected via the drivers right now?
nope, 32
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/262071 does restarting the apport daemon work, or do you really need to reboot?
No, I'm on wired net.
ya
How do I see what version of ubuntu I'm using? 32-bit / 64-bit ?
:(
why the hell do they not work
photon: you can't setuid scripts for security reasons. Why would you want to do that?
blue_mushroom: uname -r
Thanks erUSUL ! :)
blue_mushroom: uname -m
I'm stumped. They worked for me on 32-bit on 8.04....
When Ubuntu boots, it spends about 5mins at "* Configuring network interfaces... " Why is that?
Thanks jrib :)
blue_mushroom: jrib is right
jrib: because otherwise I have to type in the admin password *all the time*, which is kind of tedious. I'm using this script 20 times a day. is there no workaround?
ah, i just downloaded them from the hardware drivers menu
ldiamond2: its trying to get an address using dhcp
I lost my raid metadata. Anyone knows a good disaster recovery tool ?
this is my first ever instal of ubuntu
yoyoned: But why is it taking so long?
photon: set up sudoers so that you can use that command without sudo prompting you for a password
ldiamond2: do you have a dhcp server
Why is ubuntu so intent o deleting my kernel?
photon: you can configure sudo so tahtit doesnt ask for a password at all or just not for one command
emorris: bizarrely , the chainloading trick didn't work, it complains that the file format is unsupported when trying to chain to the other MBR
Fr0zen_: I think that's the only way you can install them. :)
yoyoned: yes, on my router
jrib, cliechti: thanks
Something else must be set wrong, or broken.
emorris: it's strange because I managed to do it work to boot windoz
i saw the guides for 8.04
zigovr: don't chain to an mbr, chain to a partition
various steps
and hacks
you on a dell by any chance?
ldiamond2: type sudo dhclient and see how log it takes

How do I make a synaptics custom filter that lists packages available in a particular ppa?
I have hardy heron LTS, If I upgrade to Ibex will I lose all my files on my hdd?
yoyoned: about 2-3 seconds
i really wish this would work
is there any differance in what gets installed by default when using the DVD vs. the CD image?
Hey guys. I haven't been able to print to a Windows shared printer since going to 8.10. The error message is: "Error Printing / Too many failed attempts." Has anyone experienced anything similar?
Drizzel, no. not if you upgrade
zigovr: u sure that grub/etc is set up properly in that partition?
ldiamond2: do you have more than one network interface?
k thx so much
Oh well. Time to plod on to the next problem, and return to this later. Gotta exit now.
Drizzel, although i would backup just in case
ok good idea
Sorry we couldn't get this working!
yoyoned: yes, a wlan0 and eth0
emorris: it used to be at least
yoyoned: I installed wcid to manage my network
I really need to use this 32-bit Windows 98 wireless driver with NDISWrapper for the Realtek RTL8187. But the problem is, I installed 64-bit ubuntu when I clean-install upgraded to Intrepid. Is there any way, any way at all, to make this work?
wth? does anyone have problems with flash not playing sound ?
why do you need a windows driver for a linux install?
Shockwave Flash.
blue_mushroom, you upgraded to the newest flash?
snowveil: Because the RTL8187 drivers included, are, quite honestly, utter rubbish. I use NDISwrapper and the windows drivers to get connectivity.
I found some kind of option in my BIOS that it says improves virtulization in my computer, does that make VirtualBox faster if I turn it on?
snowveil: yeah, through firefox's flash plugin installer
zigovr: you could try root (hd?,?) configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst
I haven't had any issues with Opera and flash 10
freeze occasionally, but no sound issues
skype crashes on my laptop when i start the video test (webcam from logitech) .. do anybody have the same prob .. and perhaps a solution ?!?!
anyone around to help me with trying to get a gamepad/joystick to work. When i plug it in, one joystick controls the mouse, but none of the buttons are seen in xev
hi, i recently switched from windows to ubuntu and i must say that i love it, it was a much easier switch then i had originaly figured it would be ... but i just tryed to instal java, first by downloading an rpm, instaling rpm, then trying to rpm the rpm and it said i had tones of dependancies, so i used the gui, add/remove .. it had an error after i agreed, but it installed anyways
!java | Logikos
Logikos: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository
then in the upper right a red circle with a white dash in it said that there was an error usualy because of dependancies, it had an update in it so i updated but it said i had broken dependncies, i did apt-get check ... and it did something but nothing noticable .... what do i do?
!software > Logikos
Logikos, please see my private message
!rpm > Logikos
"Ik ga weg"
k, ty
Logikos: you don't download stuff manually to install things in general. You should use a package manager like Synaptic or Add/Remove. Especially since ubuntu uses .debs and not .rpms
hey guys, can someone give me some good repositories for Ibex?

snowveil: but apt-get installs version 9
zchef2k_: what are you looking for?
apt-get has an old version
of flash-non-free
zchef2k_: the default ones are the good ones. Maybe medibuntu if you need it

!version | julian
julian: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy »

!repositories | zchef2k_
zchef2k_: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories
it should recognize that you're running ubuntu and give you the direct link to the file

about ubuntu is no coming up thats my problem :)
Hello there.
blue_mushroom, the .deb version will be the easiest to install
I know that the Ubuntu desktop edition is based upon the Debian unstable branch, but what branch of Debian is the Ubuntu server edition based upon?
is recompiling the kernel likely to help me fix any networking problems?
KumoGone: probaly not, unleess you are applyign som new code that is not already in teh stock kernel.
I'm trying to install the latest Opera, but since the upgrade to Inteprid, the Update manager doesn't seem process the Opera repo any longer. It was unmarked, but I re-enabled it after upgrading.
Can somebody help me there?
i can see the broadcom when i type lshw -C network, what is kinda wierd is the "width" says 64 bits is that normal?
I'm really trying to fix this without having to wipe and reinstall....
is there a way to make dist-upgrade silent? so it doesnt prompt for anything and when its done it shuts down?
ok, i read that, i did use the add/remove and tryed installing sun-java6-bin like that website said but it had dependancies ... what do i do about that?
"typos exceeded personal limit for one line"
emorris, yes, but yours will not show executable paths or status. ;-) I mean, it all depends on what do you need.
Jammet: did you try a sudo apt-get update first?
eae
alvarezp: try
why does "/etc/init.d/apport restart" not do the same thing as "/etc/init.d/apport stop; /etc/init.d/apport start"?
Logikos: dependencies are automatically installed by synaptic/apt
blue_mushroom: really no need to download Flash 10. its in Synaptic. its called adobe-flashplugin
Is there any way to roll back to 8.04 from 8.10?

lucastawan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
emorris: No, if that is not done automatically, no. I simply launched the Synaptic Package manager and the normal Ubuntu Add/Remove application and pressed the 'reload' button after re-enabling the Opera repo.
Logikos: maybe you need to add multiverse? go to System>Admin>Software Sources and check multiverse and universe in the first tab
KumoGone:you'll prob have to re-install 8.04
Can anyone help me? When I boot ubuntu, it gets stuck at Configuring network interfaces during like 5 mins. Its very annoying.
...
I also installed wcid to manage my network connections
I was afraid of that.
I'll see if I can't find my Heron disc....
Jammet: that should have done it. are you sure you changed 'hardy' to 'intrepid' on the apt line if applicable?
erUSUL: all of the checkboxes in system>admin>software sources first tab are checked
other ideas?
i dont even know where to go to see what dependancies i need?
Anyone here have any talent with Wine? I'd like to get networking happening on Homeworld2
hello all. does anyone know if there is a server manual for 8.10 yet? help.ubuntu.com goes to 8.04 still.
emorris: The Opera repo has no descriptor for that, it just says "stable" on it. On the Opera website when I try to manually download the binary for Inteprid, it says that the respective download is compatible to both Hardy and Inteprid, so maybe they left it at that.
Logikos: please paste the exact error you get when you try to install sun-java6-bin
ldiamond: not a fix sorry, but you can usually ctrl-c on that to cancel and continue the boot - and then set up networking manually
!pastebin | Logikos
Logikos: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
bimberi, it didnt do that before I setup my wireless with wcid.
Jammet: ok, so what actually happens when you try and install opera?
anyone here use hotway with evolution to get hotmail emails?
nuit!!
i'm having trouble setting it up
hey, i just installed wine, but when i click on browse C: drive nothing happens
emorris: "http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" is in the Third party software sources list here.
how do I kill firefox when I can't see it?
erUSUL: the error came, and is now gone ... i dont know how to recall it ... it did at the end say that it was installed sucessfuly ... but the update thing said there was dependancies, i updated and then that thing said that it was 'broken' dependancies ... i did apt-get check but it only gave me 3 lines ... it checked, built a list, then did something else ... then left me with a prompt, gave me no info really
how do you list all users account in my machine?
