| ernz | Dr_willis - It was during an Ubuntu clean install that this disk seems to have died. Does this make it Ubuntu's fault? |
| Unox | Chadarius: I see eth0 and lo |
| Dr_willis | ernz, not really. |
| Zoffix | Flannel, nope, I've tried everything there, still missing the menu :S |
| eternalswd | okay, you're using the wine repos, so that should be good, not sure what the problems is. maybe try in #winehq |
| Dr_willis | ernz, drives die.. they are perhaps the most unreliable part of your pc. |
| Chadarius | Unox: Hmmm run "ndiswrapper -l" and tell me what it says |
| zzz_ | kubota: I am sorry; I don't have any suggestions... If you were able to install from the CD then you should be able to access your CD. I am stumped... |
| Dr_willis | ernz, you could try 'fdisk' and delete all the partitions, and have fdisk remake them. |
| rempresent | eternalswd: thx |
| TubularBell | Hmm. I already went to system - administration - networking on my first attempt... it listed one connection there, which seemed to be a modem (it asked for a phone # in it's advanced properties??), definitely not eth0. Perhaps it's relevant that my NIC is an on-board on my Asrock motherboard? |
| ernz | Dr_Willis - I would agree, but I think the disk info may just be corrupt. Is there a way I can diagnose the disk and maybe repair it? |
| Dr_willis | ernz, you want to save the data on it? or just whipe it out? |
| kmaynard | onboard NICs generally work well |
| Dr_willis | ernz, fdisk may be able to whipe it out.. or go hard core and use 'dd' to zero the drive.. or try some other disk whiping tools. |
| TubularBell | soundray: where can I find this lspci that you speak of? (sorry.. you're talking to a very clueless first-timer here.. don't know my way around yet) kmaynard: That's encouraging to hear. |
| Unox | Chadarius: this is with ndiswrapper-1.8 for edgy win2k which seemed to work: netdelus driver installed, hardware present |
| NECIBEX | slm trk karde_ yok mu |
| soundray | TubularBell: it's a command line program, to be entered in the terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal) |
| ernz | Dr_Willis: Total Wipe out! :) BTW - Interesting error from fdisk /dev/hdb: "The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 238216. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) " |
| Jerr|sd | I think the gentoo people will be nicer than these Fox-news brainwasheed people |

| Chadarius | Unox: Did you run the "sudo ndiswrapper -m" command? |
| kmaynard | Jerr|sd, trolling? |

| ubotu | erz: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) |
| Unox | Chadarius: Adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper |
| eternalswd | mindstate, any luck? |
