skrippy11I just upgraded my hp mini 311 to 10.04 and my wired and wireless connections don't work.  Help forums say that I should get broadcom network drivers, but how do I do that with no internet access? can I access them from a USB drive?06:34

cprofitthey all -- any bash experts?14:31
jmburgesscprofitt: not particularly, but whats up?15:02
cprofittI am trying to take the results of a grep and have them execute15:06
jmburgessoh15:10
jmburgessI have no clue how to do that15:10
jmburgesshaha, have you tried googleing around?15:10
pedro3005cprofitt, eh, use python15:11
pedro3005:P15:11
cprofittjmburgess: I have15:16
cprofittI think not knowing the 'command name' is causing issues15:16
cprofittI have searched on executing the results of grep15:17
cprofittand not gotten anything15:17
Puck`you should setup a var that will be the result and execute that var15:17
Puck`at least logically that's how i would think it'd work15:18
cprofitthmm... would that be a one line command still?15:18
Puck`well one line to setup the var15:18
Puck`and one line to execute it15:18
Puck`put it in a bash script file and done15:18
geirhajmburgess: You want to execute the output of grep? I don't like the sound of that.15:18
Puck`or the task is to do this in one line?15:19
geirhaYou can do   grep | bash   but be certain that the file you grep does not contain any malicious commands.15:21
cprofittgeirha: thanks... I wrote the file so it does not15:22
geirhaStill, there are probably better ways to achieve what you're trying to do.15:23
cprofittperhaps... but that worked...15:23
cprofittso +1000 geirha15:23
Puck`(:15:23
cprofittgeirha: are you a BT member?15:25

geirhaI dropped by to ask something about a beginner programming challenge at the ubuntuforums a long time ago.15:29
geirhaAnd I seem to have accidentally added it to the autojoin list15:30
stlsaintpedro3005: DONT WATCH ME!!! WATCH TV!!!15:30
pedro3005stlsaint, TV is boring15:30
geirhaHave you downloaded and watched the Pioneer One pilot?15:31
geirhaWas quite good for such a low budget.15:31
Puck`nothing is accidental, we have you in our force15:31
