[01:22] ... and worst thing is, the noobiest of the noobs will be going Wubi... not a good advert for Ubuntu at all :/ [01:22] yeah [01:23] i used it for about a year on a box [01:23] worked pretty well [02:21] Hello everyone.I'm a complete noob to Ubuntu.I just installed it and it's not letting me connect to the internet.It says the wireless driver is missing.I have a Dell Inspiron E1505. My brother installed it and his wireless driver is working fine. [02:23] MrRyanThai: what verion of ubuntu? [02:23] 10.10 [02:23] 10.04? [02:23] OK [02:23] go to... [02:23] system-administration-additional drivers [02:23] and see if you seea WIFI drivr there [02:23] driver8 [02:23] dirver** [02:23] driver*** [02:24] my keyboard is screwy... sorry... [02:24] haha alright,what if I don't see it there? [02:24] oh,it's alright [02:24] nothing is there? [02:24] I'm actually on the laptop that's dualbooting Win7 and Ubuntu right now [02:24] so I'm going to have boot into Ubuntu [02:24] AH [02:24] thats the first thing i would do [02:24] hang on... [02:25] alright,thanks [02:25] yeah [02:25] its a broadcom chip [02:25] so that would be my first try [02:26] i have a couple broadcom chips here that i have to do that with [02:26] and they work fine [02:26] MrRyanThai: can you plug it in? [02:26] wired internet? [02:26] for just a second... while it downloads that driver? [02:27] yeah I can't right now [02:27] all the ports are currently taken and the computers are being used [02:27] MrRyanThai: i would wait til you can plug it in [02:27] it will be too easy that way [02:28] plug it in [02:28] start it up [02:28] you'll probably get a prompt [02:28] if not, go to the additional drivers [02:28] and you *should* be good to go [02:28] alright thanks,I will try that as soon as I can [02:28] What about the video drivers? [02:29] same thing [02:29] are those automatically installed? [02:29] there will be proprietary drivers listed there [02:29] if you want to install them [02:29] want/need [02:29] i think its intel right? [02:29] yeah [02:29] oh the video card? [02:29] it's X1400 [02:29] so you wont have to install any thing for graphics then [02:30] buntu cant/doesnt put the proprietary drivers in by default [02:31] alright,thank you.appreciate it.I'll come back here if I still need help [02:31] right-on :) [05:28] can you dual boot 2 different linux distros [05:28] firewall_03, yes [05:29] most time easily [05:29] anything to watch out for? [05:29] firewall_03 not at the same time though [05:29] sometimes needs a little tweak in grub/lilo [05:29] you can only have one running at a time [05:29] CensoredBiscuit, ya I realize that [05:30] nothing really to watch out for [05:31] ok [05:31] I guess you should probably keep an eye on which OS is writing to the MBR, in case the different linux distros have different versions of grub and they both want to rewrite it all the time [05:31] I am thinking about trying MINT [05:32] but in reality I've never had a real issue with that [05:35] ok [05:36] any other distros you guys like beside ubuntu? [05:37] debian, but on the desktop it kinda feels like unpolished ubuntu (I just use it on servers) [05:39] ya [05:39] I want to try something a little more difficult [05:40] firewall_03, you can check out archlinux [05:40] you will learn a lot about how linux really works using it [05:40] sebikul, will do [05:41] I installed mandrake when I was like 12, then got tired of it being confusing and went back to windows, then switched to linux when I was overseas because the viruses were so bad with our haji satellite internet [05:42] Update Manager on Maverick Meerkat is always asking me to make a update of Google Chrome (22 MB) [05:42] I updated it for about [05:42] fedora is also an option if you want to check out an rpm-based distro [05:42] 3 times during this weeks [05:43] pleia2, didn't fedora acquire Novell a couple years back? [05:43] shahan: yeah, they keep updating it :( [05:43] firewall_03: nope, fedora is red hat's community distro [05:43] pleia2, always update? [05:44] pleia2, 2-3 times in a week!!! [05:44] shahan: google chrome is installed directly from google as an in development release, yes, sometimes they release 2-3 times a week :( [05:44] they just launched their store so I this is unusual, they are probably working out a lot of bugs [05:45] pleia2, everytime it download 22 MB files which is not as easy for me as I have a slow internet connection [05:45] shahan: you might want to check out chromium-browser [05:45] it's the community version of google chrome and comes from ubuntu rather than google, it's just patched for security, not adding lots of new features all the time [05:46] pleia2, hmm [05:47] so I got this ISO downloaded how do I make it bootable via a thumb drive? [05:47] firewall_03: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [05:49] (I haven't actually done it, but that's where I'd start) [05:50] you could use the Startup Disk Creator from System > Administration. :D [05:51] that was easy [05:53] will there be an option to resize the partition? [06:00] well that didn't work ISO wouldn't boot [06:02] shahan, you must be using the beta/development repository. the stable one gets an update once a month [06:02] sebikul, wat!!! [06:02] sebikul, how to solve this problem? [06:02] firewall_03: did you use the StartUp Disk Creator or the link? [06:03] ya did that [06:03] trying unetbooin [06:04] shahan, go to System -> Administration -> Update manager. in the bottom left corner, click the configure button [06:04] firewall_03: in the Choose your device make sure you choose your device name, in Startup Disk Creator. give unetbootin a try also. :) [06:04] JoeMaverickSett, thats what I did, will try unetbootin maybe somethin else [06:05] sebikul, there has no configuration button. there has a settings... button [06:05] firewall_03: what i always do is format my usb 2times before doing that. :P [06:05] shahan, :P it's the same, i just have it in spanish, i dont know the exact translation [06:05] haha ok [06:06] sebikul, ok.. then? [06:06] shahan, once there go to the other software tab, look for the entry that points to the google repository [06:07] shahan, select it and click the edit button, now tell me what the distribution textbox says [06:07] stable [06:08] :O [06:08] shahan, sure?? and the url? [06:09] sebikul, http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ [06:09] JoeMaverickSett, wish me luck [06:09] :D [06:09] firewall_03: good luck. :P [06:09] shahan, the component is "main" right? [06:10] sebikul, yes [06:12] sebikul, take a look there http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/2784/othersoft.png [06:13] shahan, you must have another repository that has published a higher version than the one i just told you to look for. let me look at the once that are listed in the screenshot so i can tell you which one is causing the updates [06:14] sebikul, I dont understand [06:14] oh snap [06:14] use the chromium [06:15] and if you want beta, use ppa beta channel [06:15] chromium daily builds FTW! :P [06:15] you can use apt-get [06:15] and no dice again [06:15] firewall_03: :( [06:15] shahan, updates are always installed using the higher version available, now, you have the stable google repository, but another one must have another build with a higher version, [06:15] gave me a weird error [06:15] and keep the chromium up to date [06:16] i really suggest to use beta, it works like a charm [06:17] gonna try mint instead [06:17] * JoeMaverickSett nods to bioterror 's suggestion. [06:19] sebikul, thats the repository I am using http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/5963/repository.png [06:19] sebikul, its an local repository of BANGLADESH [06:21] shahan, i have no idea where the update is coming from :S. i am using the same google repository and i have never experienced any problem [06:21] sebikul, hmm... tnx for help [06:21] shahan, no problem [06:30] well its resizing the partitions now had to go to the basement to get my wep kep!!!! [06:30] key rather [06:37] ok lets see if I screwed this up or not, I selected / as the mount point for my mint install, but it said it wouldn't allow it since my ubuntu system has the / mount point [06:55] so I effed up my grub I think [06:57] any takers? lol [07:08] firewall_03: does booting from live CD and doing sudo update-grub works? [07:11] haven't tried it right now I am on mint :S [07:12] http://pastebin.com/5ZJPBABT [07:12] thats what fdisk -l shows [07:25] here is my pastebin after I did sudo update-grub http://pastebin.com/8TQnmf7r [07:25] hmmmmm [07:26] REBOOT! :D [07:26] so it worked? [07:26] kk rebooting [07:26] brb [07:30] and no dice fellows [07:48] firewall_03: I've never been one for dice [07:48] hobgoblin: me either [07:50] http://pastebin.com/UpPi1nbh [07:50] take a look at that.... [07:55] they are NOT dice ;) what's the issue with them? [07:56] I can't boot into ubuntu now, but at least I have mint [07:57] you cant boot to mint as you installed mint over the ubuntu ;) [07:57] at least it seems so [07:57] hobgoblin: https://www.tannens.com/shop/secure/images/products/1787.jpg [07:58] bioterror: yep poor attempt to dual boot with ubuntu [07:59] firewall_03, did you loose anything [07:59] nit-wit: idk right now [08:00] really don't know how to access the other partition I guess I could mount it [08:00] firewall_03, did you have anything in ubuntu that you wanted saved [08:00] nit-wit: some stuff [08:01] goodnow bioterror nit-wit [08:02] hobgoblin, happy holidays and to you all [08:02] thank you - same for you :) [08:05] firewall_03, run this script and paste bin it.http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [08:10] http://pastebin.com/N9CiBvpd [08:14] firewall_03: that's just the script - you need to run it :) [08:15] http://pastebin.com/MiX81Fh5 [08:17] that's more like it - though as I have no idea what your issue is I shall wander off [08:18] dual booted ubuntu and mint [08:18] and now grub went bye bye [08:26] that's not a dual boot - you have mint on sda2 and home on sda6 [08:26] sda1 [08:26] well I screwed it up then [08:27] I assume that mint was the last one installed [08:27] yep [08:28] I think hob s right if you had a seperate home [08:28] then it looks like it either used the whole disk or you overwrote the exisiting OS [08:28] sda6 is mounted to /home [08:29] thats what I did, when I installed mint it asked for a mount point I did /home [08:29] DOHHHH! [08:29] oh so are you saying the sda6 used to be / [08:29] no I creadted sda6 for mint [08:30] aaah [08:30] and sda1 was the original install with no seperate home [08:30] so did I lose all my files or? [08:30] yes [08:30] sda1 was / [08:31] firewall_03, my condolences for the files [08:31] all that adult material gone.... [08:31] ahhh [08:31] I'd say it is gone - not only has it been formatted but it has also had mint installed on it - so it's possible you might be able to find some info with testdisk but I would doubt it [08:32] backups are failry useful, especially in hindsight [08:32] hob [08:33] I was using ubuntu one so I am pretty good just lost my movies and stuff, no biggie [08:34] firewall_03: if I lost all my media I would not be so laidback ;) [08:35] hobgoblin, I just deleted my 800GB image of broken drive, I couldnt mount the ecrypt home and I gave up :D [08:35] or rather - if I lost all my media again I would not be so laidback ... I am REALLY good at telling people to backup [08:35] hobgoblin: I cried when my 200 gigs of porn crashed to the concrete [08:35] hobgoblin, but I learned from it, I've got 1TB drive for backups now [08:35] hahaha you get always new pr0n [08:35] I am rubbish at backups [08:35] and that's probably enough talk of porn ... [08:36] hobgoblin, I used to be too, but I almost lost all my family pictures from the past 4 years including my kids deliveries [08:36] so, hows the weather? [08:36] bioterror: that's :( [08:36] firewall_03: it is warmer here - crept up to 0C now [08:37] [Espoo: -8°C, Mostly Cloudy] [08:37] that's is acceptable weather [08:37] not too cold [08:38] I dont have to use erol flynn underpants while walking to work from train station or riding bike :D [08:38] s/use/wear/ [08:38] I bet hobgoblin remember that erol flynn's robin hood and those tights :D [08:38] ha ha ha ha [08:39] firewall_03, one thing sucks on Linux Mint [08:40] you cant do do-release-upgrade :D [08:40] lol I am about ready to format reinstall [08:40] lol [08:40] yeah, vanilla ubuntu? [08:40] and maybe xubuntu, I really liked it [08:42] firewall_03: you installing again? [08:42] welcome back IAmNotThatGuy nit-wit [08:43] ty hobgoblin [= [08:43] I had to fire up my mint 10 on the SDHC class 10 card for fun [08:45] never tried mint, or any of the other based on buntu things [08:45] the mint consistently runs about 70MIB less ram then Maverick I plenty to spare but not a bad setup [08:46] I used to worry about ram but eventually decided that as the only music player I really like is amarok in gnome it was pointless :) [08:46] hobgoblin: I just came across the mint site while trying to get natty to work at first and have it dual on a 16 bit card [08:46] nice [08:47] I will I think look about a bit more when unity lands - really not liking that :( [08:47] glad I bought that Ubuntu User magazine for 15 bucks last night [08:48] hobgoblin: couldn't get the natty grub to work but since it is a card would boot through the HD grub so I mounted and installed grub in mint to control th unruly natty [08:50] Natty wil be usable for me when the panels are adjustable but think thats not in the picture development wise. [08:59] nit-wit: yep - I've no problem with the panel as such - just want to be able to do with it as I want [09:03] yeah I am making my boot drive now [09:04] firewall_03: well I guess at least this time you don't need to worry about existing data [09:06] hobgoblin: :( [09:07] oh well least I learned my lesson [09:07] measure twice cut once ...

[14:24] help: I have a laptop with a broken monitor ( un-usably dim ). I have the bios set to boot with an external monitor. and X displays to both monitors. But freqently i shutdown X/gdm and just run in console mode. When I do that, the console only shows up on the internal LCD display. It will not display on the external monitor. I should probably say I an using Ubuntu Server with FVWM. Is there a command line way to say display the conso [14:25] ouh wow, i had the same problem, but i never used the laptop without X .. [14:26] now i have to ssh to it when not using X [14:38] so in my .../interface i have set a default gateway and after doing a network stop/start it doesnt update, any thoughts?
