Did you load the module with modprobe ndiswrapper if so you should see ndiswrapper listed in the output of lsmod. Also, just adding the driver wont just make the connection work. You need to edit /etc/network/interfaces so it looks like this auto lo auto wlan0 iface lo inet loopback iface wlan0 inet dhcp network 192.168.1.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 wireless_essid linksys wireless_key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wireless_channel 6 Your card may not be recognized as wlan0. Type ifconfig on the left it should have lo, and hopefully wlan0 as well. If your card is recognized run sud

Try changing /mnt/floppy to /media/floppy0 in what iccaros gave you.

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.

Did you? modprobe ndiswrapper

you mean one of the cds failed, or named them incorrecty? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It error'd out about halfway through renaming the tracks, I forgot to copy the error to post.

I ripped a few more disc's and aside from not renaming all the tracks on one, it seems to be doing its job.

I did have that problem at first, but after emerge cddb-py that cleared up.

Yes, I tested it on my Ubuntu VM. The with-gaim tells it where to install the plugin. Are you getting an error running ./configure? I needed to install gaim-dev to get it to work, try: sudo apt-get install gaim-dev before ./configure.

go back into the gaim-xfire directory and run: ./configure --with-gaim=/usr/lib/gaim --prefix=/usr make make install

What is the plugin?

If this is after I had you kill the X server that would explain it, logging out closed the (gui)session but you where still logged in at the term. Normally system>log out>shutdown will shutdown the computer, but in this case after the server dies type halt or shutdown -t 3 now will do it.

What is the model number of your mother board?

Dont be affraid to break your system, im always trying to find new ways to bork my system up. The biggest mistakes ive made when I first got into 'nix was reinstallng at the drop of a hat. Looking back, im sure all of those situations could have been corrected easily.

It's working in my gentooVM (32 bit), but not on my 64 bit host. edit: It ripped the album, but error'd out before recoding. I have all tracks as trackx.cdda.wav. Here is the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/naraku/tmp/pythonrip-0.2/pythonrip.py", line 511, in ? main() File "/home/naraku/tmp/pythonrip-0.2/pythonrip.py", line 501, in main generic_song_list = compresser(installed_progs, comp_choice) File "/home/naraku/tmp/pythonrip-0.2/pythonrip.py", line 382, in compresser toolame = v_installed_progs['toolame'] KeyError: 'toolame'

Most important thing to do is become as comfortable with a terminal as possible. Learn to use man pages and other docs that are already on your system. Again a terminal is your best friend, many problems can be fixed within X, all (or at least close to it) can be just as easily fixed with a shell. Just play around, you will learn alot.

In my opinion, the best thing about it is the learning experience. Being able to learn alittle more everyday far out weighs the price as a selling point.

Can you post the display section of your xog.conf file? To change back to the original: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf sudo mv /path/to/backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf

sudo apt-get install gcc installs the binaries(no need to compile it). You can also use apt tp install the nvidia drivers apt-get install nvidia-kernels-common then nvidia-glx, but the one's from nvidia.com will (probably) be newer.

I think you just need the kernel sources, try this in a terminal: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.10-5 linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386 build-essential. You may also need to install gcc (compiler).

Kill the X server with ctrl+alt+backspace, log back in and type startx. Changes should then take place. What web browser are you using?

Sudo is a command that allows you to run certain commands as root. sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf will open the file as root. Change nano to whatever text editor you want to use.

Ubuntu disables root by default, use sudo with your password if prompted. Backup the file before changing it (precaution).

1. You may need to add the modes your display supports in xorg.cof/xf86conf(I forget the actuall name of the file) 2. Xinerama (needs to be enabled in the same config file i believe) 3. Me too

Maybe testdisk will work, I've never used this program but it looks like it may do the trick.
