| meowbuntu | Cody1, hi are you going to ask your question here instead of #ubuntu | 00:17 |
| Cody1 | I was about to, but I found the (possible) answer on the Ubuntu forums. | 00:21 |
| ubuntudude | can i use magicjack under wine? if not is there a Linux alternative? | 00:36 |
| Cody1 | hello again | 00:36 |
| Cody1 | I'm booting Xubuntu 9.10 off a flash drive... I was wondering if there is a way to do away with the Live User and have a real account and password? | 00:37 |
| mhall119 | Cody1, you'll have to customize the LiveCD | 00:37 |
| Cody1 | Is that difficult to do? | 00:37 |
| Cody1 | aka ~ is it worth the effort? | 00:38 |
| mhall119 | nah, it's easy, let me find you a guide | 00:39 |
| mhall119 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 00:40 |
| Cody1 | thank you | 00:40 |
| ubuntudude | can i use magicjack under wine? if not is there a Linux alternative? | 00:40 |
| mhall119 | once you get to the point you're in the chroot environment, just run 'adduser' from the command line to create the user account you want | 00:40 |
| mhall119 | ubuntudude, no idea, you might try asking in #ubuntu, someone there may know | 00:41 |
| ubuntudude | thats where i asked first and still am | 00:42 |
| Cody1 | ubuntudude: try this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1027567 | 00:42 |
| Cody1 | hey mhall, any ideas on having my computers hard drive show up while I'm booted in Xubuntu off the flash drive? It shows in Gparted, just not anywhere else that I can see. | 00:49 |
| Cody1 | Someone on the forums said to try a few sudo dmraid commands... but those didn't work. | 00:50 |
| Cody1 | thanks again | 00:56 |
| skavez | hi there -- i installed xubuntu 9.10 via WUBI onto a netbook, but for some reason grub no longer gives me a menu list, but instead a prompt/shell. i can't find any "root.disk" in my C:, which seems to be needed | 01:24 |
| skavez | just trying to get into the install, back up my files, and then do a proper partioned install | 01:24 |
| skavez | in C:\disks, there's swap.disk and boot\grub\ but that's empty | 01:28 |
| XRunner | anyone around to help with a issue i've having with Xubuntu 9.1 and my wireless card :( i can't log into my connection its asks for WPA password and I enter it and wont connect to it.. even tried typing in the password in hex and still nothing :( | 02:36 |
| ed3 | I have a question on loading adobe flash player. I have followed the instructions, but cannot get the file to extract properly. Can anyone describe the correct way to load tar.gz items, or instruct me on loading the flash player for firefox? | 02:47 |
| psycho_oreos | why not just install flashplayer-plugin from the repo? | 02:52 |
| ed3 | uhhhh... Because I just installed xubuntu, and don't know how to do anything but follow the instructions that I read for each operation that I want to perform. I think that I may have found the problem. I am not logged in as root. However, I have tried to log in as root, and the authentication fails. I am stuck. | 03:04 |
| ed3 | I don't know how to load from the repo, but am willing to try! | 03:05 |
| skavez | ed3: I don't have a xubuntu install available atm...but open Accessories: Terminal and type: sudo aptitude install flashplayer-plugin | 03:12 |
| skavez | or: aptitude search flashplayer | 03:12 |
| ed3 | Terminal indicated that it couldn't find flashplayer-plugin, and then removed some linux headers. | 03:20 |
| ed3 | running the search | 03:21 |
| ed3 | nothing returned and I am back at the prompt | 03:21 |
| skavez | ed3: have you tried this <http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html#comment-150888>? | 03:22 |

| Cody1 | hello | 08:30 |
| Cody1 | I've got Xubuntu 9.10 booting off a flash drive. | 08:31 |
| Cody1 | About 3.5hours ago an alert popped up with 135mb of updates.. | 08:32 |
| Cody1 | So I figured it wouldn't take long to do the updates, so I let it run through. | 08:32 |
| Cody1 | And it tooks like 3.5hrs for everything to finish... reboot and now part of the top task bar is missing. | 08:32 |
| Cody1 | The applications..places.. all that stuff is gone. :/ | 08:32 |
| TheSheep | maybe it failed to install evertyhgin for some reason? | 08:35 |
| TheSheep | what was the last message of the upgrade program? | 08:35 |
| Cody1 | Honestly I don't remember. | 08:36 |
| TheSheep | try finishing the update by running 'sudo apt-get install' | 08:36 |
| Cody1 | Alrighty.. | 08:36 |
| Cody1 | What folder is the terminal in? | 08:36 |
| TheSheep | press alt+f2 and ype 'xfce4-terminal | 08:37 |
| TheSheep | ' | 08:37 |
| TheSheep | type* | 08:37 |
| Cody1 | thanks | 08:37 |
| Cody1 | Ok.. hopefully this doesn't boot me... but this is what I get after doinng the sudo apt-get | 08:38 |
| Cody1 | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install | 08:38 |
| Cody1 | Reading package lists... Done | 08:38 |
| Cody1 | Building dependency tree | 08:38 |
| Cody1 | Reading state information... Done | 08:38 |
| Cody1 | The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: | 08:38 |
| Cody1 | libopenal1 fakeroot libboost-thread1.38.0 libboost-date-time1.38.0 libplib1 | 08:38 |
| Cody1 | patch libphysfs1 gnash-common freeglut3 libsdl-image1.2 | 08:38 |
| Cody1 | Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. | 08:38 |
| Cody1 | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded. | 08:38 |
| TheSheep | hmm.. ok, so it finished | 08:39 |
| TheSheep | so jus add your menu back to the panel | 08:39 |
| TheSheep | just* | 08:39 |
| Cody1 | I don't know how, lol. | 08:39 |
| Cody1 | I'd been looking around in some of the folders trying to find the terminal (didn't know alt+f2), and found XChat in the process. | 08:40 |
| TheSheep | right-click, select 'add', 'xfce4 menu' and 'places' | 08:40 |
| Cody1 | lol.. I didn't think it would be so simple. | 08:40 |
| TheSheep | ah, check your free disk space | 08:41 |
| TheSheep | maybe it disappeared because of lack of space | 08:41 |
| TheSheep | 'sudo apt-get clean' should delete the cache after upgrade and free some space | 08:42 |
| Cody1 | ^ Did that, but didn't seem to do anything. | 08:44 |
| Cody1 | I've got my menus back now though, so all is good. | 08:45 |
| Cody1 | Thanks for that | 08:46 |
| Cody1 | I need to look through synaptic... the update seemed to be updating stuff I don't use/don't need. | 08:48 |
| Cody1 | It was saying something about updating lubuntu, kubuntu...etc.. | 08:48 |
| paoligno | Hi. I'm using 9.10 and I can't see the onboard wireless network card. With an older version of xubuntu (maybe 8.10) I could.... what I can do? | 10:04 |
| psycho_oreos | paoligno, pastebin your lspci -nnk output | 10:28 |
| migi | hello | 10:30 |
| === migi is now known as migis | ||
| paoligno | http://paste.ubuntu.com/376072/ | 10:31 |
| paoligno | psycho_oreos: | 10:31 |
| psycho_oreos | paoligno, not really recommended with old versions of xubuntu, why 8.10? | 10:32 |
| paoligno | psycho_oreos: ? | 10:33 |
| paoligno | I only remember that with 8.10 it worked | 10:33 |
| psycho_oreos | paoligno, your wireless card would highly favour at minimum karmic or later | 10:33 |
| psycho_oreos | you might be able to get it working with restricted-drivers | 10:34 |
| psycho_oreos | installing wl | 10:34 |
| psycho_oreos | but you'll need to blacklist b43 stuff | 10:34 |
| paoligno | psycho_oreos: should I apt-get install wl ? | 10:34 |
| psycho_oreos | paoligno, no I suggest you to try going through hardware drivers option | 10:35 |
| paoligno | let me check | 10:35 |
| migis | could anyone please show me how can i open and edit xubuntu's loading file (whichever it is). | 10:36 |
| eXpl0i7 | ex: sudo mousepad /etc/fstab | 10:36 |
| psycho_oreos | migis, what do you mean loading file? | 10:36 |
| paoligno | psycho_oreos: great! thanks | 10:36 |
| psycho_oreos | paoligno, working? good to hear | 10:37 |
| migis | psycho_oreos: well, i installed firmware for a wireless device which is, apparently, not on my computer. now my computer does recognize its own wireless at the end of the day, though the installed firmware still tries to load and then shows that it does not recognize it, etc. is there a file which shows which programs are requested to load? | 10:38 |
| paoligno | psycho_oreos: yes thanks again | 10:39 |
| psycho_oreos | paoligno, nw | 10:39 |
| psycho_oreos | migis, which wireless chipset? | 10:39 |
| knome | psycho_oreos, congrats. are you ready to step to the next challenge? ;) | 10:39 |
| psycho_oreos | knome, almost always ready lol | 10:39 |
| knome | hehe, good to hear. i'll ask you next time then ;] | 10:40 |
| psycho_oreos | knome, about? wireless? | 10:40 |
| migis | psycho_oreos: well, i wrote this " sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter && sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43" though b43 is not on this laptop. | 10:40 |
| knome | psycho_oreos, about any wicked problems :) | 10:40 |
| migis | psycho_oreos: i just need to know the file which still request that line and then delete it so it doesn't request it anymore. | 10:40 |
| psycho_oreos | migis, b43 is a driver not a program.. so the driver would request the firmware which is usually in the default path of /lib/firmware | 10:40 |
| knome | psycho_oreos, wicked as in NOT wicd ;) | 10:40 |
| psycho_oreos | knome, umm well I'm not an all rounder lol | 10:41 |
| psycho_oreos | migis, if it doesn't request firmware, the driver would not work | 10:41 |
| migis | psycho_oreos: so how can i remove that? | 10:41 |
| psycho_oreos | migis, remove requesting? | 10:42 |
| migis | psycho_oreos: is there a way to check now when i am using xubuntu what lines were written on the screen when it was loading? | 10:43 |
| migis | psycho_oreos: it just seems that it requests that firmware although it does not exist on my computer. | 10:44 |
| psycho_oreos | migis, its usually in dmesg for any requesting stuff but you need to install the firmware or the card won't work | 10:44 |
| migis | psycho_oreos: how can i check which wireless drive i use? | 10:45 |
| psycho_oreos | migis, usually with lspci -nnk | 10:45 |
| migis | psycho_oreos: does this line "30:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g [14e4:4312] (rev 01) | 10:46 |
| migis | Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge | 10:46 |
| migis | Kernel modules: ssb | 10:46 |
| migis | " show that my card must work with d43 driver? | 10:46 |
| psycho_oreos | migis, b43... yes | 10:47 |
| migis | psycho_oreos: so how can i install firmware then? | 10:47 |
| psycho_oreos | that card will work with b43 but it will also require firmware.. usually if you installed the fwcutter, you probably need to restart | 10:48 |
| migis | my laptop is HP compaq nx6325 | 10:48 |
| migis | so i have to write " sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter && sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43" in terminal and restart then? | 10:48 |
| psycho_oreos | no, if you can successfully remove b43, it should work but double-check to see if there's b43 firmware inside /lib/firmware | 10:49 |
| psycho_oreos | I think from memory its under /lib/firmware/b43 | 10:50 |
| migis | no, there is no /lib/firmware/b43 | 10:50 |
| migis | so should i run that line again or do something else? | 10:51 |
| psycho_oreos | I would do each of the commands separately, i.e. one by one | 10:52 |
| migis | and what to do after each of them? | 10:52 |
| psycho_oreos | if they all succeeded, your wireless card should be working | 10:53 |
| migis | ok, thanks, i will do that | 10:53 |
| psycho_oreos | I thought that if your wireless card is not one of those pcmcia/express card type things, you might not be able to remove the driver because the driver would be hooked to the actual device. Usually with pcmcia/express card, that is the case and you can get away by issuing stuff like pccardctl eject.. but for pci/minipci/pcie/minipcie/etc the case is different | 10:55 |
| psycho_oreos | usb is completely different altogether | 10:55 |
| migis | ok, i have done everything, now rebooting. brb. | 10:55 |

| GodzKnightZ | Xubuntu 9.10 + Intel 5100 AGN wireless card = not being able to authentical WPA passphrase... please help | 13:28 |
| vinnl | !wpa | 13:29 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 13:29 |
| vinnl | :) | 13:29 |
| GodzKnightZ | thanks, but now i'm stuck.. when i use the wpa_passphrase command and hit enter it just goes to a blank line with > on it | 13:34 |
| vinnl | GodzKnightZ, where did you see that command? | 13:35 |
| GodzKnightZ | under the wpa_supplicant config section | 13:35 |
| vinnl | GodzKnightZ, link? | 13:36 |
| GodzKnightZ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo#Configuring%20wpa_supplicant | 13:36 |
| GodzKnightZ | i have tried everything i can think of and google hasnt been my friend on this.. i've tried everything i've read and to no end has it worked.. i've even tried ditching NM and using wicd but that works worse then NM does for me | 13:37 |
| vinnl | GodzKnightZ, did you supply the ESSID? | 13:37 |
| GodzKnightZ | vinnl, yup i enter it exactly how it tells me to and when i hit enter i get a blank line with a > on it and cant do anything till i ctrl+c | 13:38 |
| vinnl | GodzKnightZ, you have to enter your WPA password then | 13:38 |
| GodzKnightZ | ahhhh thank you!! | 13:39 |
| vinnl | :) | 13:40 |
| psycho_oreos | wpa_passphrase accepts two arguments.. one is the ESSID and the other is the passphrase | 13:40 |
| vinnl | ...though you don't want to pass your password in the arguments | 13:40 |
| psycho_oreos | I find it faster if you piped the output of wpa_passphrase into wpa_supplicant.conf and edit the conf file from there | 13:41 |
| psycho_oreos | well if your screen is visible to another naked eye apart from yours :) | 13:41 |
| vinnl | psycho_oreos, yeah or if someone goes snooping in your logs ;) | 13:42 |
| GodzKnightZ | im a total noob just recently gone to linux havent touched it since like RH5 lol so its all new to me again thus why having so much issues with this lol | 13:43 |
| psycho_oreos | vinnl, or that if your system is already compromised | 13:43 |
| vinnl | GodzKnightZ, bad luck I suppose | 13:43 |
| vinnl | Normally WPA just works | 13:43 |
| GodzKnightZ | i've read so many people having issues with WPA and 9.10 | 13:44 |
| vinnl | Yes that's because you went looking for it ;-) | 13:44 |
| vinnl | You don't typically have people signing up to forums to say "ha, my WPA works, just wanted to say that :)" | 13:45 |
| GodzKnightZ | even in the irc channels and bug reports im seeing alot with WPA problems with laptop wireless cards.. | 13:45 |
| vinnl | Ah OK | 13:46 |
| GodzKnightZ | my friend installed the prior verson to 9.1 and has no issues (exact same laptop) but i decided to go with 9.1 and this seems to be my problem. i've read alot of people downgraded some stuff and it works flawlessly but i dont know how to do any of that stuff | 13:46 |
| GodzKnightZ | i've noticed from peoples posts that under 8 everything works like a charm then they went to 9.1 and have the same problem im having is there a big difference between 8 and 9 ? | 13:49 |
| GodzKnightZ | cause i may just go to 8 and see if it works and if it does just stick with that | 13:50 |
| vinnl | You could, but you see things like that every release | 13:50 |
| Sysi | you should use what works best for you' as long as it's supported | 13:50 |
| GodzKnightZ | err not 8 i mean 9.04 | 13:50 |
| vinnl | You also see things like "wow, it never worked with 8.10 but now I tried 9.04 and suddenly it works!" | 13:51 |
| vinnl | Yeah what Sysi said :) | 13:51 |
| * `mOOse` hugs xubuntu | 13:51 | |
| GodzKnightZ | well i know when releases come out they should solve problems.. but to create a problem with drivers that didnt have a problem before seems a bit weird to me isnt that kinda defeating the purpose of updating? | 13:52 |
| `mOOse` | er sry...I just...get...so....emotional..... | 13:53 |
| `mOOse` | @@ | 13:53 |
| Sysi | it's hard to try support *everything* hardware when things are changing | 13:53 |
| vinnl | GodzKnightZ, that's called a "regression" and happens to all software. When adding enhancements, it might happen that you introduce a bug by oversight | 13:53 |

| `mOOse` | mOO! | 13:54 |
| GodzKnightZ | true.. tends to happen with outdated hardware that cant support the newer software but the 5100 AGN card isnt that old lol <shrug> time to download 9.04 and see if things work.. | 13:55 |
