[01:47] haywire, the printer is connected to windows? [01:47] yes. [01:48] I tried Samba in xubuntu 9.10, and [01:48] it found the printer, (by name) but when I attempt to print to it from xubuntu, everything gets hung in the print spooler on the host machine. [03:07] hey all [03:07] need some help reinstalling grub [03:08] I followed this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows though the issues is because ubuntu is installed on a partition [03:08] it doesn't like me trying to reinstall ubuntu [03:09] hmmm ... and i think i just realized the issue >.< [03:22] alright [03:22] so i'm back [03:22] and i was wrong :( [03:23] Shadowmancer, what's up? [03:23] oh [03:23] sorry [03:23] i just recently had to do a fresh install of win 7 [03:23] as per expected mbr was overwritten [03:23] so i had to reinstall grub [03:23] ok [03:23] and? [03:24] catch can only do it from command line (ubuntu live cd can't run my video card for some reason and i don't know the edits to xorg.conf to get it to work) [03:24] so no real problem with that [03:24] so i found this on the ubuntu help thing https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and tried to follow it [03:24] i'm using 9.10 [03:24] so i'm using grub 2 [03:24] hopefully [03:24] anyways [03:25] so i followed the instructions and it complained a) it couldn't find a core.img file and b) its a partition not a hdd [03:26] sorry [03:26] lost connection [03:26] so yeah thats my issue [03:26] i can't figure out where the files are meant to be [03:26] i've tried auto supergrub disk [03:26] that doesn't work [03:26] and i'm out of ideas since i don't know much about how to set up grub [03:28] hmmm any clues? === Shadowmancer21 is now known as Shadowmancer [03:30] hmmm [03:31] Shadowmancer, oh sorry [03:32] its alright [03:32] i am just out of ideas [03:32] i don't want to go grub-install /dev/sda1 [03:33] because i don't know if it'll map ubuntu and everything properly [03:33] i don't know the default behaviour [03:33] i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows but it doesn't mention what to do in the case of ubuntu being on a partition [03:34] Shadowmancer, what exactly did you try? [03:34] mounted my ubuntu os [03:34] then did [03:35] sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/ubuntu /dev/sdb5 [03:35] i had to create ubuntu since i only have access to terminal [03:35] and sdb5 is the petition of my ubuntu partition [03:36] I am having a hard time installing the driver for a broadcom wireless card. I have looked at a lot of different how-tos with no luck. Any advice? [03:37] most broadcom cards i've found auto detect and it offers to get the restricted drivers [03:37] doesn't it do that for you? [03:37] no [03:38] Shadowmancer, I think /media/ubuntu should be equal to /dev/sdb5/boot and not the root directory [03:38] fix that [03:38] how do you mean? [03:38] do you mean i should go [03:38] Shadowmancer, how did you mount /media/ubuntu? [03:39] when I go to sys>admin>hrdwr drvr i get a message that says the driver could not be installed [03:39] sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /media/ubuntu [03:39] krhahn, which device is it? [03:39] Shadowmancer, do this: [03:39] sudo umount /media/ubuntu [03:39] sudo mount /dev/sdb5/boot /media/ubuntu [03:39] sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/ubuntu /dev/sdb5 [03:40] sudo unmount get a command not found [03:41] krhahn, it's "umount" and it wasn't directed at you :p [03:41] oh [03:41] okay [03:41] I asked which device you are trying to install [03:42] lol it can't find core.img [03:42] thats another error message i mentioned further up [03:42] sorry... device is BCM4311 802.11b/g [03:44] Shadowmancer, my bad [03:44] let's try this [03:44] sudo umount /media/ubuntu [03:44] sudo mount /dev/sdb5/boot/grub /media/ubuntu [03:44] sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/ubuntu /dev/sdb5 [03:45] core.img isn't in there, i checked [03:45] :P [03:46] it is here o.O [03:46] yeah i am confused as well [03:48] i got a ton of .mod files in there [03:48] me too [03:48] i can't check right now but its from memory [03:48] i was looking for core.img since if thats all grub was crying about i would give baby its bottle [03:50] Shadowmancer, try [03:50] ls /dev/sdb5/boot/grub | grep img [03:51] wouldn't ls *.img do the same thing? [03:51] lol, i realize when im using firewire, windows has a super huge lag on it [03:51] when i transfered a 5 gig file from one drive to the next it works like a dream on ubuntu [03:51] Shadowmancer, well, yeah, but I fail :/ [03:52] yeah didn't find it when i tried that :P [03:53] pedro3005, not sure if you saw this... Not trying to be a pain but thought i would re-send [03:53] device is BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [03:53] krhahn, oh sorry; i'll look [03:55] krhahn, your device is supported. try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:56] thanks...
