iccaros

ok , im back to work... I found a site that says ubuntu did not add floppy as abuilt in module.. (what were they thinking) so you might have to use the command modprobe floppy this will load floppy driver... I am tring to see if I can find the ndiswrapper problem.. may take a little time.. sorry..

can I use that for my distrobution..it can replace the windows Blue screen of death..

ok I'm wrong ... reinstall.. also one thing you can learn from this... if it works ..LEAVE it as is.. most driver upgrades are not important. 10 frame rates are unnticable unless you started at 12. I used to be .. get the newest driver.. make games faster.. but that was windows.. windows in my openion always needed updateing so you get used to always updating.. this lead to may a broken Linux boxes and here is why.., the newest nvidia update may still be behind the newest distro update.. even with a newer release number.. why .. ubuntu, Red Hat, Suse, Gentoo all pass there changes to the non

one last part.. this is a pci card not a pcmcia right?

What errors are you getting? Try not to get too frustrated, it can be very hard at first but you'll get the hang of things. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well i couldnt get my lspci and dmesg info saved onto a floppy or anything so i could post it up here. i type ndiswrapper -l and it says the driver is present but it doesnt say the hardware is present. thats really confuses me especially because when i type lspci i read the line where it says network controller and it shows the info about the broadcom chipset and stuff like that. so how is it that it cant detect the hardware if it can show in

hmmm. I don't think anytools resize rieser 100%, knoppix does not have the reiser qtparted lib so it can't. my distro I think should 95% of the time.. I have not tested it though. but if you can not resize and you have other partitions you can backup to.. say a fat partition, you can always tar off the partition, blow it away, rebuild new partitons and untar.. your boot sector should still be intact so no work there. also is your fat partiton full. It sounds like its full and trying to write to it.

well if you reinstall .. when we hit this part agian we can move on from here seriously, I do not see this as a install problem.. now I would suggest you not use the ubuntu install and go to nvidia and download the driver from them, and install that way..

which part is hard? which part failed.. Linux like Mac OSX are diffrent from Windows. that means there is a learning curve for people broght up on windows. Since I do alot of command line stuff its way diffrent then people work in Windows. Maybe I am just the wrong person to help you. Some one here must know the GUI tools that will mount the floppy and let you save the information. another thing to look at. when you start up windows the sytem has a map of devices that are "mounted" when you start a unix machine (Linux,Solaris,Mac OSX) the kernels serach for devices and checks a file called /

try this site.. it may at least be fun..but should work well.. it will show you how to install linux with no cdrom, no floppy and no usb.. it uses your windows OS and you network connection and a link to distrobutions ftp (they all have them). it has information on ubuntu http://marc.herbert.free.fr/linux/win2linstall.html

also remove this Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection

forgot he command eject /mnt/floppy at the end.. also /mnt/floppy may not be created yet.. you can crete folders with the mkdir command mkdir /mnt/floppy

can you post the output of lspci... or /sbin/lspci or cat /proc/pci and give us a copy of the output of dmesg you can do this simply by putting in a floppy id (write down your uid number ..should be 1000) su - enter root password mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy -o uid=enter-uid-here,sync lspci >> /mnt/floppy/trouble.txt dmesg >> /mnt/floppy/trouble.txt now use the floppy in windows to post the information.

change this line Option "NvAGP" "3" to say Option "NvAGP" "0" and then back to nvidia for the driver.. see if it works.. if it does try changing that to Option "NvAGP" "1" 3 tells it to load the first agp driver it can find.. here from the nvidia read me.. - Option "NvAGP" "0" Disable AGP - Option "NvAGP" "1" Use NVIDIA's AGP GART Driver - Option "NvAGP" "2" Use the OS AGP GART driver (agp.ko) - Option "NvAGP" "3" Attempt "2", fall back to "1" I think ubuntu built in agp / ati agp and nvidia agp.. so its loading atiagp as its first in order

looks good on my gentoo box, but I have never upgraded my flash

hwo did you install your invidia driver in the first place?? is this ubuntu?

look up windows connection sharing.. its how to usewindows as a internet gateway, Is there a reason you can not have the linux box connected to the lan? in anycase ICS will server as a DHCP server that will point to its self as a router. on the Linux box no config is needed. as it will get an address through DHCP which will tell it how to connect to the internet. also the Linux box will need a direct connection to the windows box or.. be connected to a switch connected to a seperate network card on the windows box. while possable with one card.. if your windows box its self is using DHCP from

first off you know a hell of a lot more then me, but I felt the need to add this point. you do not need root access to just get the output of lspci, root access is only needed to do some of the other things the command offers. any user can run it, but you have to specify the full path /sbin/lspci <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you are correct on the second part.. I am not too sure I know any more than you do..

This is quick while I install ubuntu and see how its kernel is setup and the locations of its start scripts.. in unix the ls command stands for list (LiSt) so when you look at a directory you do a ls to list the what is in the folder.. like dir in dos. so since your wireless card uses a pci bus. so lspci list everything your kernel sees on the pci bus. shanenin is correct, you can run most super user programs by including full path.. but I don't think like that so it does not occure to me. in ubuntu I think sudo lspci will also work (need to test this) if you get an error no lspci command

ati agp???? this is the problem most likely..

What make Linux good.. Well you can do what ever you want.. As in build a really bloated system with all the bells and stuff or just a small 8 meg version that does a specific job. Anything you can do on any OS you can do with Linux. Linux runs on more hardware then any other living OS (I believe that includes NetBSD but I could be wrong there) Linux is more secure then say Windows, not only because it’s not seen as a big of a target (which anymore is not true.. its that most attempts are from script kiddies and are targeting the system in which they have programs to hack them for, as they

by doing it wrong the first time, and asking question..

try booting a live cd.. mount your harddrive. copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf to your harddrives /etc/X11/ folder. reboot. you should have X server.. make a back up of that file then edit the main one to change the video driver to nvidia. hit cntrl-alt-backspace to see if X restarts.. if not copy the backup back to the original file.. and post the out put of /var/log/X11/xorg-??? (note this will have a date and time or say current) and post the output of the command lsmod if you step by step let me know.

Please list all steps taken to this point (software installed including any compiles, did you compile the NDISwraper kernel driver and so on) next what version of the WMP11 there are 3 and each is diffrent. and last post the output of the command lspci this must be done as root.

ya but I heard that the Guy who did Iccaros Linux is a a$$..

wrong area, but burn the disk agian and see if the error goes away. by the way what software are you using for burning CD's?
