  1. 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

    sudo /etc/init.d/networking start

    then

    ifconfig wlan0 up

    . It was literally as easy as that to get my girlfriends wireless card working on Kubuntu using ndiswrapper. Granted this wont work at all if the problem is your pcmcia socket isnt recognized, but without lspci and dmesg we cant tell if it is or not.

  2. thats it. im sick of this. i need someone that could physically be around to show me how to work all this linux stuff. i dont understand anything. i cant even save that dmesg and lspci info to a floppy disk. how much harder could it get? i'm definitly not saying that windows is better but should an operating system be so confusing?

    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.

  3. Do i need all the --with and that stuff?  because with and without those it still doesnt work...

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    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.

  4. Heres the error on Gentoo64:

           Please insert your music cd, and press return to continue.



    reading the cd and looking up song data from the CDDB, this may take some time
    please wait.....

    It's probably not your program, it seems many python apps have some problems on amd64, i'll see if I can find a workaround.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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:

  8. 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.

  9. 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

  10. 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.

  11. 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).

  12. 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.

  13. WOOT I DID IT!!!

    Thank you all.

    Now to ask questions,

    1. When i went to chose resolutions i could use i pressed enter and it continued... so now i need to find a way to get the higher reses.

    2. Is it possible to do dual view with my monitors?

    3. i love linux!

    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
