| flourishing7 | aveilleux: please look at the beginning of the next paste, it seems it is asking for some form of parameters: http://paste.ubuntu.com/548097/ | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| aveilleux | flourishing7: it's --keyserver, not -keyserver | 00:03 |
| aveilleux | flourishing7: Actually, all of those commands should have -- in front, not - | 00:03 |
| aveilleux | (except the - at the end) | 00:04 |
| flourishing7 | ok | 00:04 |

| flourishing7 | aveilleux: I also tried to reload the synaptic ... the result is at the end of the next paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/548099/ | 00:09 |
| aveilleux | flourishing7: Don't bother with Synaptic. It's just an apt frontend; you'll get the same results as apt-get. | 00:11 |
| aveilleux | flourishing7: Those are the only solutions I know. The update server you're operating on may not be functioning properly. try this: | 00:14 |
| aveilleux | flourishing7: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:14 |
| ibuclaw | http://extras.ubuntu.com <- what's that? | 00:14 |
| aveilleux | Find the line that's something like: deb http://us.extras.ubuntu.com/ etc ect and put a hash in front of it (#) | 00:15 |
| aveilleux | flourishing7: Then save and run sudo apt-get update once mor | 00:16 |
| aveilleux | e | 00:16 |
| flourishing7 | ok | 00:16 |
| flourishing7 | aveilleux: it is not us.extras just extras - it is: http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main | 00:18 |
| aveilleux | flourishing7: Whatever it is. Put a hash in front. | 00:18 |
| flourishing7 | aveilleux: it responded: E: The update command takes no arguments | 00:21 |
| aveilleux | That's right, it doesn't | 00:21 |
| aveilleux | flourishing7: "once more" was a part of the sentence, not the command. | 00:21 |
| flourishing7 | Aveilleux: sorry - now it says: The program 'udo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 00:22 |
| flourishing7 | sudo apt-get install udo | 00:22 |
| aveilleux | sudo | 00:22 |
| aveilleux | not udo | 00:22 |
| flourishing7 | aveilleux: sorry, the result is at : http://paste.ubuntu.com/548101/ | 00:24 |
| aveilleux | That makes no sense at all. | 00:25 |
| aveilleux | flourishing7: Paste the output of: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:25 |
| flourishing7 | aveilleux: it is at : http://paste.ubuntu.com/548105/ | 00:27 |
| aveilleux | flourishing7: Oh. Also comment out the deb-src line for extras.ubuntu.com (line 48) | 00:29 |
| aveilleux | flourishing7: By that I mean put a # in front | 00:29 |
| flourishing7 | aveilleux: http://paste.ubuntu.com/548107/ | 00:32 |
| aveilleux | flourishing7: So we're good. | 00:33 |
| flourishing7 | does this mean that we omitted part of the updates? | 00:33 |
| aveilleux | flourishing7: We removed the extras.ubuntu.com repository. But don't worry; there's nothing on that server right now. (That I could see) | 00:34 |
| flourishing7 | ok thank you - let me just see if I can send a picture of the keys that I now have because I was trying to fix this for hours via reading the forums and ran some commands | 00:35 |
| flourishing7 | aveilleux: can you please look at this : http://imagebin.org/129832 | 00:41 |

| mymrhelpdesk | ok i think i have an easy one not directly ubuntu but an application xchat is there anyway to save the channels you are logged into? and rejoin them when you login? | 02:29 |
| UndiFineD | mymrhelpdesk, rightclick a channel and add it to your favorites | 02:32 |
| nhandler | I have a 1tb external hard drive. For one reason or another, it got zeroed. I am now having a hard time getting it reformated either in windows or ubuntu. Both struggle to even detect it, and when they do, they fail to format | 02:35 |
| nhandler | Any suggestions? | 02:36 |
| holstein | hmmm | 02:36 |
| holstein | might want to hit it with a tool | 02:36 |
| nit-wit | nhandler, you might try the latest grub on a bootable cd | 02:36 |
| holstein | i use http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ | 02:36 |
| holstein | could be dead :/ | 02:36 |
| nit-wit | nhandler, SORRY GPARTED | 02:36 |
| holstein | yeah, gparted is on the UBCD and my usual first tool | 02:37 |
| nit-wit | ultimate boot is good | 02:37 |
| nhandler | nit-wit: I tried using whatever gparted is in the maverick repositories. I also tried running it off of some live cd I had sitting around. I'll try UBCD later | 02:37 |
| roydaman2 | ok need help dual booting xp and zorin on seperate HDD | 02:50 |
| roydaman2 | need to know how i should edit the GRUB file | 02:51 |
| aveilleux | roydaman2: If you set up Windows first, then Zorin, the installation of GRUB should automatically pick up Windows on the second drive. | 02:51 |
| roydaman2 | thats what everything i read on google said but it didnt | 02:52 |
| aveilleux | roydaman2: Then log into Zorin and run sudo update-grub from Terminal | 02:52 |
| roydaman2 | ive had xp forever now and wanted to transition to ubuntu so i DL the iso burnt it and installed but i can only boot to xp unless i put in the live DVD | 02:53 |
| aveilleux | roydaman2: You have to set the Linux drive to boot first in BIOS. | 02:53 |
| roydaman2 | ok im in Zorin now ill try it | 02:53 |
| roydaman2 | ok its asking if i want to generate /boot/grub/menu.lst | 02:54 |
| roydaman2 | i said yes | 02:55 |
| aveilleux | roydaman2: Did you catch what I just said? That's more important. | 02:56 |
| roydaman2 | setting the linux drive to boot first | 02:56 |
| roydaman2 | yes so restart enter BIOS setup change so IDE (linux) is booted before SATA (XP) | 02:57 |
| roydaman2 | can do will try that now be back sdoon with answers | 02:59 |
| roydaman2 | thanks ave | 02:59 |
| Roydaman2 | ok aveilleux thatw as exactly what needed to be done | 03:05 |
| Roydaman2 | thank you very much for your help i been reading and tryin all day to get that | 03:05 |
| Roydaman2 | *done | 03:05 |
| aveilleux | Roydaman2: I had the very same setup at my old work, and that was the same problem | 03:06 |
| Roydaman2 | 2 mins of talkin to some 1 that understands what i needed and BAM!! done | 03:06 |
| Roydaman2 | well your help was greatly appreciated everything i read kept tellin me to edit the GRUB file | 03:06 |
| Roydaman2 | nothing about changing the HDD boot order | 03:07 |
| Roydaman2 | maybe we should post somethin out there for the next person | 03:07 |
| aveilleux | Roydaman2: the only problem is that everyone tries to troubleshoot Linux, as if it were the problem | 03:07 |
| aveilleux | which is not always the case. | 03:07 |
| Roydaman2 | ok next question for you or n e 1 that may know it says i have 2 versions of linux installed | 03:08 |
| Roydaman2 | this one im using and one on hda5 | 03:08 |
| aveilleux | Roydaman2: What does it say for a name? | 03:08 |
| Roydaman2 | umm i cant remember the whole thing but one was linux.......2.6.something and the other was the exact same just on hda5 | 03:09 |
| Roydaman2 | there was 2 entries for both like a regular and i think it was safeboot | 03:10 |
| Roydaman2 | so there were 4 linux entries and 1 XP | 03:10 |
| aveilleux | Unusual. | 03:14 |
| Roydaman2 | thats what i was thinking | 03:19 |
| shigins | Would dual booting 32bit ubuntu with 64 bit windows cause any problems? | 03:19 |
| Roydaman2 | but hey it works htis way so what the hay ill just leave the other one alone and go on about life | 03:20 |
| Roydaman2 | shigins i have 32 bit XP and 64 bit ubuntu working right now | 03:20 |
| aveilleux | shigins: No. | 03:20 |
| Roydaman2 | so as long as your hardware can handle it i dont see why not | 03:21 |
| Roydaman2 | or not | 03:21 |
| Roydaman2 | avellieux knows more than me about this | 03:21 |
| shigins | cool beans | 03:21 |
| Roydaman2 | just curious tho avellieux y not?? | 03:21 |
| aveilleux | Roydaman2: Why... wouldn't it cause any problems? | 03:22 |
| Roydaman2 | the only one ive had so far is the booting issue but thats fixed | 03:22 |
| shigins | howd you fix it | 03:22 |
| Roydaman2 | and i had 32 bit xp and 64 bit suse for a long time | 03:23 |
| aveilleux | shigins: I meant that it would cause no problems. | 03:23 |
| Roydaman2 | changed the order my HDD's booted | 03:23 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Though there's no reason to not run 64-bit, since just about everything in Ubuntu is compiled for both arches | 03:23 |
| shigins | well I just happen to have a 32 bit ubuntu and 64 windows | 03:24 |
| shigins | so I am going to go with it | 03:24 |
| Roydaman2 | well let me know how it works out either way | 03:24 |
| Roydaman2 | please | 03:24 |
| Roydaman2 | wonder if i can run 64 64?? | 03:24 |
| aveilleux | Roydaman2: What? | 03:25 |
| shigins | if windows installs well | 03:25 |
| shigins | I already have ubuntu installed but not windows | 03:25 |
| Roydaman2 | sorry was talkin to shigins | 03:25 |
| shigins | also I have an wifi card that I need to install drivers for can I do that for ubuntu using windows? Ubuntu wont read the CD and I cant hardwire my desktop to the internet | 03:26 |
| aveilleux | What architecture your OS is built for is not dependent on any other software running on your system. | 03:27 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Ubuntu and Windows don't use the same driver system. | 03:27 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Why can you not run a wire? | 03:28 |
| shigins | not in the same room | 03:28 |
| Roydaman2 | aveilleux hes prolly borrowin the neighbors net | 03:28 |
| shigins | not really convient to | 03:28 |
| aveilleux | shigins: What wireless chipset/card is it? | 03:28 |
| shigins | well when I try to run the cds in ubuntu it just opens them up | 03:29 |
| shigins | netgear itsa usb | 03:29 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Windows driver installation will *not* work in Ubuntu. | 03:29 |
| aveilleux | shigins: What model number? | 03:29 |
| shigins | yeah | 03:29 |
| shigins | WNA3100 | 03:29 |
| shigins | so its a catch 22 for getting myself set up | 03:29 |
| shigins | I need drivers I can only get from the internet | 03:30 |
| shigins | but I need the drivers to get on | 03:30 |
| Roydaman2 | shigins is there another comp. in the room with the router?? | 03:30 |
| shigins | yeah | 03:31 |
| shigins | tucked away in a corner of a cabinet | 03:31 |
| Roydaman2 | u have a thumb drive?? | 03:31 |
| shigins | several | 03:31 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Download this package and install it. http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/broadcom-sta-common | 03:33 |
| shigins | If I used a gateway copy of xp you think that would be bad? | 03:33 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Those don't generally work on the hardware they didn't come with... | 03:34 |
| shigins | right then | 03:34 |
| Roydaman2 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549190 i found that thread about it and they seem have to gotten it resolved so if aveilleux's solution doesnt work maybe try that | 03:35 |
| shigins | now where do I stick these package files? Sorry for being completely new | 03:36 |
| aveilleux | Roydaman2, shigins: I saw that, but since it's a Broadcom chipset that's supported using the STA driver, you'll be fine. | 03:37 |
| shigins | Ive looked up that thread too | 03:37 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Just double-click on it. GDebi will open up and install it for you. | 03:37 |
| shigins | so with this I wont need to install any drivers? | 03:37 |
| aveilleux | shigins: These ARE the drivers. | 03:37 |
| shigins | AHA | 03:38 |
| shigins | well then lets give it a whirl | 03:38 |
| aveilleux | shigins: In Linux, "drivers" are designed as add-ons to the kernel -- kernel modules | 03:38 |
| shigins | nope I got nothing | 03:41 |
| aveilleux | shigins: You may need a reboot. | 03:41 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Also, what network manager are you using? | 03:42 |
| shigins | my router? | 03:42 |
| aveilleux | shigins: No, the network management software. Right-click on it and hit "About" | 03:42 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Also, did the package install successfully? | 03:43 |
| shigins | well I checked the closed when installed | 03:44 |
| shigins | and what exactly am I right clicking? Sorry. | 03:44 |
| aveilleux | shigins: How do you know you have no wireless network options? | 03:44 |
| shigins | when I click the connection icon all it displays is disconnected wired networks | 03:45 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Yes, right-click on that. | 03:45 |
| aveilleux | shigins: That's not just a status icon. That's the actual network management software. | 03:45 |
| shigins | Then it appears I am using NetworkManager Applet 0.8 | 03:46 |
| shigins | if that helps | 03:48 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Open Terminal for me and Pastebin ( http://pastebin.ubuntu.com ) the output of the command: cat /etc/network/interfaces | 03:48 |
| shigins | un momento | 03:53 |
| shigins | No such file or directory | 03:55 |
| aveilleux | shigins: That directory must exist. Did you type it properly? | 03:56 |
| shigins | cat /ect/network/interfaces | 03:56 |
| shigins | whoops | 03:56 |
| aveilleux | etc | 03:56 |
| aveilleux | not ect | 03:56 |
| shigins | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/548131/ | 03:57 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Is that it? | 03:58 |
| shigins | yesir | 03:58 |
| aveilleux | Oh, whoops | 03:59 |
| aveilleux | wrong file | 03:59 |
| shigins | at least Im not the only one messin up | 03:59 |
| aveilleux | shigins: cat /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf #Linux is case-sensitive, you MUST type the caps exactly as shown | 03:59 |
| shigins | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/548133/ | 04:04 |
| aveilleux | shigins: See how "managed" under [ifupdown] is "false"? | 04:05 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Run: gksudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf | 04:06 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Change "false" to "true" (no quotes) | 04:06 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Reboot and let me know the results. | 04:06 |
| shigins | Do I type "Run:" in the terminal? | 04:09 |
| aveilleux | shigins: No. | 04:09 |
| aveilleux | shigins: I meant "run that command" | 04:09 |
| shigins | what result am I looking for? If its an awareness of the hardware then I dont tihnk I got iy | 04:12 |
| shigins | it* | 04:12 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Normally if Network Manager doesn't manage ifupdown (the connection) then wireless networks won't appear. Hm... Open up System > Administration > Additional Drivers and see what's listed there | 04:13 |
| shigins | I have a Hardware Drivers option which promts me with "Downloading package indexes failed, please check your network status. Most drivers will not be available." I also tried running the cat command again and its coming up with no file exists | 04:15 |
| shigins | ignore that last part | 04:16 |
| aveilleux | It can't run without Internet access? That's interesting. | 04:16 |
| shigins | quite interesting | 04:16 |
| shigins | so Im shit out of luck? | 04:17 |
| aveilleux | !language | shigins | 04:17 |
| ubot2 | shigins: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 04:17 |
| aveilleux | shigins: You can say SOL, but not what it means ;-) | 04:17 |
| shigins | pardon | 04:17 |
| aveilleux | shigins: I don't think so, I think I'm overlooking something. | 04:17 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Pastebin the output of "lsusb" for me, please | 04:18 |
| shigins | well its recognizing the Netgear | 04:20 |
| shigins | one se | 04:20 |
| shigins | c | 04:20 |
| shigins | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/548135/ | 04:23 |
| aveilleux | Hm. | 04:29 |
| shigins | hmm | 04:29 |
| shigins | nothin? | 04:32 |
| aveilleux | I'm stumped. I really am. | 04:33 |
| shigins | butternuts | 04:34 |
| aveilleux | The driver module (broadcom-sta) is installed, and the adapter you're using is a Broadcom chipset. | 04:34 |
| shigins | idk if the CD is its drivers or not | 04:35 |
| shigins | the instructions say to install the cd | 04:36 |
| shigins | then plug in the adapter and a screen will prompt me to install the drivers | 04:36 |
| aveilleux | That system doesn't work on Linux, because it's a Windows program. | 04:36 |
| aveilleux | Windows applications and programs *do not* run on Linux. | 04:36 |
| shigins | right but does the information on the CD hold something that is missing to get this running? | 04:37 |
| aveilleux | There's a system called ndiswrapper that can use the Windows driver files, but only the *.inf and *.sys files, not any executable that the driver CD may have. You can see if they're on there (look for the Win2k or XP ones) | 04:39 |
| shigins | on my computer? | 04:40 |
| aveilleux | you'll need to install these three packages (in order) to use ndiswrapper: | 04:40 |
| aveilleux | 1. http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/ndiswrapper-common | 04:40 |
| shigins | IVe tried putting in Wine but that has me stumped | 04:40 |
| aveilleux | 2. http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 | 04:40 |
| aveilleux | 3. http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/ndisgtk | 04:40 |
| aveilleux | no, you can't use WINE to install drivers. That's not how it works. | 04:40 |
| shigins | ah | 04:40 |
| aveilleux | WINE is for programs, nothing else. | 04:40 |
| shigins | .exe's I thought though | 04:41 |
| shigins | nvm | 04:41 |
| aveilleux | Yes, programs. | 04:41 |
| aveilleux | Drivers aren't programs. | 04:41 |
| shigins | installed and rebooted | 04:44 |
| aveilleux | shigins: run gksudo ndisgtk # in Terminal | 04:45 |
| shigins | ok | 04:46 |
| shigins | shows no current installed drivers | 04:46 |
| aveilleux | Yes. Put in the CD and see if you can find the drivers on the disc. There should be a *.inf file in a directory that's labeled Windows 2000 or Windows XP | 04:47 |
| aveilleux | Oh, while I'm at it, you'll also need to uninstall the Broadcom drivers. sudo apt-get purge broadcom-sta-common | 04:48 |
| shigins | only .inf is autorun | 04:48 |
| shigins | in bin > driver folder is Setup.exe and TRANS.TBL | 04:49 |
| aveilleux | Ah. | 04:49 |
| aveilleux | shigins: You ran the installer in WINE? | 04:49 |
| shigins | no | 04:49 |
| shigins | I have no idea how to get wine working | 04:49 |
| aveilleux | You'll have to install the package, which has quite a few dependencies. | 04:50 |
| aveilleux | hmm... | 04:50 |
| aveilleux | You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to find the drivers for you. What model is the adapter again? | 04:50 |
| shigins | WNA3100 | 04:50 |
| shigins | Ive poked around for linux drivers for it but didnt come up with anyithng | 04:51 |
| aveilleux | You mean WNDA3100? | 04:51 |
| shigins | Wireless-N 300 USB Adapter WNA3100 | 04:51 |
| shigins | no D to be found | 04:51 |
| aveilleux | Ah | 04:51 |
| aveilleux | Weird, Google failed me the first time around | 04:52 |
| aveilleux | shigins: http://sublevel21.com/archives/targz/wna3100_drivers.tar.gz | 04:58 |
| aveilleux | whoops | 04:58 |
| aveilleux | shigins: http://sublevel21.com/archives/targz/wna3100_driver.tar.gz | 04:58 |
| shigins | now what do I do with this info | 04:59 |
| shigins | Wireless-N 300 USB Adapter WNA3100 | 05:00 |
| aveilleux | ? | 05:00 |
| shigins | what do I do with what I just downloaded | 05:01 |
| aveilleux | Extract it (open it and drag the files out into another folder), then load the inf file into ndisgtk | 05:03 |
| shigins | all the files or just the inf | 05:03 |
| shigins | because I did just the inf and it said bad driver | 05:03 |
| shigins | invaild driver* | 05:03 |
| aveilleux | Try one of the sys files | 05:03 |
| shigins | not a valid .inf file | 05:04 |
| aveilleux | Are you running 64-bit Ubuntu? | 05:04 |
| shigins | 32 | 05:04 |
| aveilleux | Try bcmwlhigh5.sys | 05:05 |
| shigins | thats the one I just did | 05:05 |
| aveilleux | bcmwlhigh5.inf didn't work? | 05:05 |
| shigins | says "Not a valid driver .inf file" | 05:06 |
| aveilleux | That makes no sense... | 05:06 |
| shigins | aye | 05:07 |
| shigins | oh wait | 05:07 |
| shigins | a second try with the .inf | 05:07 |
| shigins | and it seems to say "Hardware Present: Yes" | 05:07 |
| shigins | time to reboot? | 05:08 |
| aveilleux | Is ndis-gtk telling you to? | 05:08 |
| shigins | no I just hit install and its displaying the picture of two computers with that text under it | 05:09 |
| aveilleux | Oh | 05:10 |
| shigins | I do have a strange terminal here though | 05:10 |
| aveilleux | do this: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 05:10 |
| aveilleux | see if your network manager can pick up the connections now | 05:11 |
| shigins | it asks me for my password | 05:11 |
| shigins | but wont let me type it | 05:11 |
| aveilleux | Yes | 05:11 |
| aveilleux | sudo doesn't echo the password to the screen as asterisks | 05:11 |
| aveilleux | hit Ctrl+C, then try again. Just make sure to be accurate with your keystrokes. | 05:12 |
| aveilleux | Or, I suppose you could use gksudo /etc/init.d/networking restart #if you're more comfortable with the asterisks | 05:12 |
| shigins | WARNING: ifup -a is disabled in favour of NetowrkManager. | 05:12 |
| aveilleux | Yes, that's fine | 05:13 |
| shigins | Set ifdown:managed=false in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf | 05:13 |
| shigins | ok | 05:13 |
| shigins | Im going to reboot for good measure I guess | 05:13 |
| aveilleux | May as well | 05:13 |
| shigins | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/548141/ | 05:15 |
| shigins | that was in a terminal | 05:15 |
| shigins | duno if its of value | 05:15 |
| aveilleux | That's fine. | 05:16 |
| aveilleux | Quit out of ndisgtk, then reboot | 05:16 |
| shigins | nothing seems to be going on | 05:17 |
| aveilleux | By the way, the hashes (#) are only there when I need to type after a command, to explain it. It's the "comment" syntax of Terminal (ie. anything after a # in Terminal won't even be looked at) | 05:17 |
| aveilleux | You don't need to put the hashes in | 05:17 |
| aveilleux | You shouldn't still have that log in the Terminal if you've rebooted... ndisgtk is only for installation and uninstallation of wireless drivers. | 05:18 |
| aveilleux | Use the connection manager next to the clock and see if it's picking up the wireless networks. | 05:18 |
| shigins | nope | 05:18 |
| shigins | same two wried networks | 05:18 |
| aveilleux | Do this: echo -e "blacklist bcm43xx\nblacklist b43\nblacklist b43legacy\nblacklist ssb" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 05:19 |
| aveilleux | It's a lot to type, but make sure it's correct | 05:19 |
| aveilleux | er | 05:19 |
| aveilleux | echo -e "blacklist bcm43xx\nblacklist b43\nblacklist b43legacy\nblacklist ssb" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 05:19 |
| shigins | done | 05:21 |
| aveilleux | Now reboot, since these are only blacklisted at boot time | 05:22 |
| shigins | nada | 05:23 |

| shigins | does this have any use? | 05:23 |
| aveilleux | Hm. | 05:24 |
| aveilleux | Run ndiswrapper -l for me in Terminal | 05:24 |
| shigins | ndiswrapper -l | 05:25 |
| shigins | oops wrong keyboard | 05:25 |
| shigins | its getting late | 05:25 |
| shigins | driver installed | 05:25 |
| shigins | device present | 05:25 |
| shigins | do I need to edit the wireles connection? | 05:26 |
| aveilleux | Since network-manager-gnome is handling it, it should show up there... hm | 05:27 |
| aveilleux | See, I don't use network-manager-gnome anymore, I use wicd, so I can't really try anything myself | 05:27 |
| shigins | darn | 05:28 |
| shigins | this laptop is about to kill over soon anyway | 05:28 |
| aveilleux | :( | 05:28 |
| shigins | can I manually put in the router information? | 05:28 |
| shigins | if it says the driver and device are there shouldnt it work | 05:28 |
| shigins | http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9837221&postcount=10 | 05:29 |
| aveilleux | Interesting. | 05:29 |
| shigins | oh did I still need to uninstall the broadcom? | 05:30 |
| shigins | because Im not sure if it did | 05:30 |
| aveilleux | shigins: Did you run gksudo apt-get remove broadcom-sta-common #? | 05:32 |
| shigins | I did but it yielded no response | 05:32 |
| shigins | nvm | 05:32 |
| shigins | last time it was purge not remove | 05:33 |
| shigins | one more restart and I am shooting upstairs to get some router info I hope | 05:33 |
| aveilleux | Well, | 05:33 |
| aveilleux | I just modified the source code, so you can do what the forum post says now | 05:34 |
| shigins | I have no idea what it is aasking me to do | 05:34 |
| aveilleux | I can walk you through it | 05:34 |
| aveilleux | download http://sublevel21.com/archives/targz/ndiswrapper-1.56.tar.gz and extract it to a folder, let's say "ndis", in your Home folder. | 05:35 |
| aveilleux | er, scratch that | 05:35 |
| aveilleux | just extract it to your home directory | 05:36 |
| aveilleux | there's already a folder inside that | 05:36 |
| aveilleux | ....shoot, you need gcc installed, don't you | 05:36 |
| shigins | dont I? | 05:37 |
| aveilleux | I don't think it comes by default | 05:37 |
| aveilleux | You can try it though | 05:37 |
| shigins | whats next | 05:39 |
| aveilleux | You've downloaded it and extracted it? | 05:41 |
| shigins | yeah | 05:42 |
| shigins | to the home folder | 05:42 |
| aveilleux | In Terminal type cd ~/ndiswrapper-1.56 | 05:42 |
| aveilleux | then make | 05:42 |
| shigins | youve got me in suspense | 05:44 |
| aveilleux | is it running? | 05:45 |
| aveilleux | No no, the command is "make" | 05:45 |
| shigins | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/548146/ | 05:47 |
| aveilleux | Okay | 05:49 |
| aveilleux | now gksudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-common | 05:49 |
| aveilleux | Paste the output of that as well | 05:49 |
| shigins | on a side note I am accessing my router on ie and under wireless settings there is a wireless card access list. in order to add a card it asks for the device name and mac address. is this relevent? | 05:50 |
| aveilleux | ....it... what? | 05:51 |
| shigins | I guess not haha | 05:51 |
| aveilleux | Does the router not allow connections without being configured? | 05:52 |
| shigins | not to my knowledge | 05:52 |
| aveilleux | Unusual. | 05:52 |
| shigins | it never as before but I might be able to manually enter it | 05:52 |
| shigins | I punched it in | 05:56 |
| shigins | and it asked me if I wanted to continue [Y/n]? and I typed Y after but nothing happened | 05:56 |
| aveilleux | Hit enter | 05:59 |
| shigins | well yes | 06:00 |
| shigins | that was a given | 06:00 |
| shigins | this is a real headbanger | 06:08 |
| shigins | probably best to quit for the night | 06:08 |
| aveilleux | Yeah, I don't know | 06:08 |
| aveilleux | hit ctrl+c | 06:08 |
| shigins | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/548146/ | 06:09 |
| aveilleux | did the apt-get remove command work? | 06:09 |
| shigins | I dont think so | 06:10 |
| aveilleux | Open Synaptic (System > Administration > Synaptic...) | 06:10 |
| shigins | I entered it serveral times and nothing happened after answering the continue prompt | 06:10 |
| shigins | yes | 06:11 |
| aveilleux | enter "ndiswrapper" into the quick search bar | 06:12 |
| shigins | mark for complete removal? | 06:13 |
| aveilleux | the package ndiswrapper-common, its box is filled in? | 06:15 |
| shigins | the only package that showed up was ndisgtk | 06:15 |
| shigins | and the box is filled in for it | 06:18 |
| aveilleux | that's... very unusual | 06:19 |
| aveilleux | you know what, I'm not going to worry about it. | 06:19 |
| shigins | I think its just me | 06:19 |
| aveilleux | go back to Terminal. | 06:19 |
| shigins | yea | 06:19 |
| aveilleux | You know what it is! Doy. | 06:19 |
| shigins | I surely wish I did | 06:20 |
| aveilleux | You don't have an Internet connection; the uninstall went properly so there's no reference left on the system. | 06:20 |
| aveilleux | I meant like... "Huh, you know what it is? It's..." | 06:20 |
| aveilleux | ANYWAY. | 06:20 |
| aveilleux | Back to Terminal. | 06:20 |
| shigins | ok | 06:20 |
| aveilleux | you're still in the directory, correct? | 06:21 |
| shigins | yeah | 06:21 |
| aveilleux | Now run sudo make install | 06:21 |
| aveilleux | when it asks for your password, remember that it's not echoed back as asterisks | 06:22 |
| bioterror | aveilleux, you should courage people to use checkinstall ;) | 06:22 |
| bioterror | encourage | 06:22 |
| aveilleux | to use whatnow | 06:22 |
| shigins | done | 06:22 |
| aveilleux | Oh. | 06:22 |
| aveilleux | Right. | 06:22 |
| aveilleux | run sudo checkinstall | 06:22 |
| aveilleux | It won't conflict with the make command before. | 06:23 |
| shigins | command not found | 06:24 |
| shigins | double cheked spelling | 06:24 |
| aveilleux | checkinstall doesn't come in Ubuntu by default? Interesting. | 06:24 |
| aveilleux | Oh well. Not important now. | 06:24 |
| aveilleux | Reboot and see what happens. | 06:25 |
| shigins | so all i had to do was type sudo make install ? | 06:26 |
| aveilleux | make then sudo make install | 06:26 |
| aveilleux | sometimes programs will need a ./configure as well, but ndiswrapper doesn't | 06:26 |
| shigins | when I do the first make it says no target specified | 06:28 |
| aveilleux | You shouldn't need to do it again. | 06:29 |
| aveilleux | You already did it once. | 06:29 |
| shigins | but i did it once and entered the pw | 06:29 |
| shigins | ok rebooted then | 06:29 |
| shigins | nothing new | 06:30 |
| aveilleux | In Terminal type cd ~/ndiswrapper-1.56 #again | 06:31 |
| shigins | ok | 06:31 |
| shigins | then what | 06:31 |
| aveilleux | run sudo make uninstall | 06:31 |
| shigins | done | 06:32 |
| aveilleux | now make clean | 06:33 |
| shigins | donw | 06:33 |
| shigins | done | 06:33 |
| aveilleux | We're basically trying again, since I'm not sure it worked the first time | 06:34 |
| aveilleux | run make | 06:34 |
| shigins | nhn | 06:34 |
| shigins | mhm | 06:34 |
| shigins | now what | 06:36 |
| aveilleux | now try sudo make install | 06:38 |
| shigins | done | 06:38 |
| aveilleux | type gksudo ndisgtk | 06:40 |
| shigins | yup still says hardware is present | 06:41 |
| shigins | bcmwihigh5 | 06:41 |
| aveilleux | Hm. | 06:41 |
| aveilleux | This should be working, so i really don't know | 06:43 |
| shigins | its ok | 06:44 |
| shigins | I think Ill just give it another shot in the morning | 06:44 |
| shigins | you have been extremely helpful I am greatful | 06:44 |
| aveilleux | I need sleep as well | 06:44 |
| aveilleux | I'm sorry I couldn't solve your problem | 06:44 |
| shigins | no worries | 06:45 |
| shigins | goodnight | 06:45 |

| IAmNotThatGuy | Joeb454, you have the Card mounted? | 07:18 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | aww jon8* | 07:18 |
| yofel | jon8: usually: plug it in, check in the output of 'dmesg' what device name it got, then 'sudo mount <device name> <mount point>' where device name is /dev/sdb1 and mount point /mnt for example | 07:48 |
| yofel | and don't forget to umount it later (not a typo) | 07:49 |

| ubuntu_newbie | hi | 09:27 |
| head_victim | Gday ubuntu_newbie how are you | 09:27 |
| ubuntu_newbie | any one can tell me how to install .exe files on ubuntu | 09:28 |
| head_victim | !wine | 09:28 |
| ubot2 | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 09:28 |
| head_victim | ubuntu_newbie: you can't install .exe files directly but WINE can help you get a lot of programs running. | 09:29 |
| ubuntu_newbie | thanx | 09:29 |
| head_victim | You're welcome | 09:30 |
| ubuntu_newbie | i have donwloaded an .exe file and it is in /home/lm but when i try to do cd /home/lm i am not able to get into the folder | 09:39 |
| head_victim | Sorry I haven't used wine in years, if you hang around someone else might come along. If you want to try #ubuntu or #winehq they might be able to help | 09:57 |
| head_victim | 3 seconds too late. | 09:58 |

| ggeorgy | is possible to connet my phone to internet via usb cable? | 16:04 |
| ggeorgy | :) | 16:05 |
| ggeorgy | ?????????????????????????????????????????? | 16:06 |
| nUboon2Age | oh, i think you mean to 'tether' a mobile phone via USB cable ggeorgy | 16:07 |
| ggeorgy | to acces internet on phone via usb | 16:08 |
| nUboon2Age | on some mobile phones it can be done. Also some can work via bluetooth connection. and some can actually transmit their own mobile 'hotspot' (such as the Google NexusOne can). | 16:09 |
| ggeorgy | no, i have a simple phone | 16:09 |
| nUboon2Age | what kind ggeorgy? | 16:10 |
| ggeorgy | samsung s5230 | 16:10 |
| nUboon2Age | ggeorgy: here's the wikipedia article i'm looking at about the Samsun s5230 | 16:12 |
| nUboon2Age | okay that seems odd to me. it says it has a WAP browser, but no 3G and no Wifi. How is one supposed to use the web browsing capabilities??? ggeorgy | 16:15 |
| ggeorgy | so ,is not possible ? | 16:16 |
| ggeorgy | because has not a browser? | 16:18 |
| aveilleux | No | 16:18 |
| aveilleux | There's a network called EV-DO | 16:18 |
| nUboon2Age | ggeorgy: it DOES have a WAP browser. i'm just trying to understand how they expect you to connect to web, but aveilleux says there's a special network called EV-DO for internet connection. | 16:21 |
| nUboon2Age | maybe its considered non 3G compatible, but still internet connectable | 16:22 |
| ggeorgy | i want to connect pc network to phone but via usb not 3g | 16:23 |
| aveilleux | ggeorgy: What you're saying, I don't think can be done | 16:23 |
| aveilleux | I've never heard of connecting to the Internet, with a phone, through a computer | 16:24 |
| nUboon2Age | ggeorgy: i see there is a set of Samsung utilities that seem to include a "USB Port Driver" | 16:24 |
| ggeorgy | i have seen on web it work on nokia with pc suite | 16:26 |
| nUboon2Age | ggeorgy: it would be worthwhile to check out those utilities and find out what they do. maybe its possible. | 16:26 |
| aveilleux | ggeorgy: I think you're thinking of "tethering", which is using the phone as a modem for the computer. | 16:27 |
| nUboon2Age | ggeorgy: i have to correct myself. earlier i said 'tethering', but that is kind of the opposite of what you're talking about. | 16:27 |
| ggeorgy | what utilites? | 16:27 |
| ggeorgy | i cant see the link -im using opera | 16:28 |
| ggeorgy | can you paste the link please? | 16:28 |
| nUboon2Age | ggeorgy: i just followed the link and apparently it is not what i thought it was, so scratch that. | 16:29 |
| ggeorgy | ok | 16:30 |
| nUboon2Age | How about does Samsung have a support forum? ggeorgy | 16:30 |
| ggeorgy | no | 16:30 |
| nUboon2Age | because really this question centers on the capabilities of the Samsung phone, not the computer. ggeorgy | 16:30 |
| ggeorgy | i know , | 16:31 |
| nUboon2Age | ggeorgy: also which carrier is it? | 16:31 |
| ggeorgy | i have a pc suite for this phone but for windows | 16:32 |
| ggeorgy | gprs/edge | 16:33 |
| nUboon2Age | ggeorgy: which phone carrier is the phone running on? | 16:33 |
| ggeorgy | os? | 16:33 |
| aveilleux | ggeorgy: Carrier, like Verizon, ATT, Nextel | 16:34 |
| ggeorgy | oeange | 16:34 |
| ggeorgy | orange | 16:34 |
| nUboon2Age | oh, i have a limitation based on the fact i'm accessing the web from the U.S. -- it keeps pushing me to the Samsung U.S. web site, so i can't see if there is Samsung support for Orange phones, but i think the answer is yes there is. ggeorgy | 16:36 |
| nUboon2Age | yes to support forums and such ggeorgy | 16:36 |
| nUboon2Age | also you could try the orange web site and see if they have support | 16:37 |
| nUboon2Age | ha, i managed to get to the Samsung UK site. are you in the U.K. ggeorgy? | 16:38 |
| ggeorgy | noooo | 16:39 |
| nUboon2Age | where are you ggeorgy? | 16:40 |
| nUboon2Age | i know Orange is U.K. based | 16:40 |
| nUboon2Age | or am i mistaken? | 16:41 |
| nUboon2Age | maybe its based in Holland? | 16:41 |
| nUboon2Age | ggeorgy: here's the URL for the S5230 manual: http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/detail/supportPrdDetail.do?menu=SP01&prd_ia_cd=23010300&prd_mdl_cd=GT-S5230BDAXEN&prd_mdl_name=GT-S5230 | 16:42 |
| ggeorgy | pk thanks | 16:43 |
| Yorvyk | nUboon2Age, France | 16:43 |
| nUboon2Age | ggeorgy: on page 33 the manual mentions printing by USB or by Bluetooth. | 16:46 |
| nUboon2Age | looks like we lost ggeorgy | 16:47 |
| nUboon2Age | that was an interesting question. seems to me it should theoretically be possible, but i'd never heard of it before. | 16:48 |
| nUboon2Age | ty Yorvyk | 16:48 |
| nUboon2Age | the manual doesn't go into much depth on internet connections, just mentions web browsing on page 33. | 16:52 |
| Yorvyk | nUboon2Age, OK. I had an old Siemens phone that could 'connect to the internet'. It was a bit like the original AOL, in that you could only see the providers part of the net. | 16:52 |
| nUboon2Age | yeah, i had a metro pcs and a Tmobile phone like that. | 16:53 |
| Yorvyk | It was a pain to use. | 16:54 |
| nUboon2Age | ggeorgy mentioned having a PC suite for Window$ for the phone, but not whether that could do what he was talking about. if so then definitely (at least theoretically but might require software being developed) it should be possible. | 16:56 |
| nUboon2Age | Yorvyk: yes that was my experience too. and very slow. | 16:56 |
| nUboon2Age | this Samsung phone that ggeorgy had is actually semi-impressive. it is MidP Java enabled!!! | 16:57 |
| nUboon2Age | if it just had 3G | 16:57 |
| nUboon2Age | i want an Android phone with Java MidP | 16:58 |
| nUboon2Age | for all i know all the Android phones are Java MidP enabled. | 16:58 |
| nUboon2Age | i know Android makes use of Java | 16:59 |
| Yorvyk | Interesting, it can't be used for Podcasting? | 17:00 |
| nUboon2Age | Yorvyk: sorry i don't understand your question | 17:02 |
| nUboon2Age | i used to work at Sun on MIDP | 17:02 |
| nUboon2Age | i gave up on the US carriers ever getting around to supporting MIDP. i guess probably some do now, but this is like 10 years later!!! | 17:03 |
| nUboon2Age | literally 10 years later | 17:03 |
| nUboon2Age | the U.S. is so backwards. | 17:03 |
| nUboon2Age | it frustrates me to no end | 17:03 |
| aveilleux | Doesn't Verizon support it on its Android phones? | 17:04 |
| nUboon2Age | also Europe adopted JavaTV (which i also worked on) long ago and still M.I.A. in U.S. | 17:04 |
| nUboon2Age | aveilleux: maybe, i'll have to check. thanks for the tip. | 17:04 |
| nUboon2Age | Merry day 4 of Xmas everyone! ;-) | 17:05 |
| Yorvyk | nUboon2Age, Sorry the ? shouldn't have been there. I was looking at the specs and under 'Fun & Entertainment' it says Podcasting - No | 17:13 |
| BR | hello all | 17:15 |
| nUboon2Age | Yorvyk: puzzling i wonder what that means. maybe it doesn't record audio(?) | 17:36 |
| aveilleux | nUboon2Age: I think that means it can't stream audio. | 17:38 |

| UndiFineD | Are there some lesson plans for kids using edubuntu ? I would love to teach our kids about turtle, as that is how I started some 27 years ago, but I have no idea how it works anymore | 18:23 |
| aveilleux | UndiFineD: What is Turtle? | 18:26 |
| UndiFineD | it is a simple thing to explain programming concept, the turle can draw patterns based on your input functions | 18:27 |
| aveilleux | Interesting | 18:29 |
| UndiFineD | we have these little mah critters, turtle would be a playground for them | 18:30 |
| UndiFineD | s/mah/math/ | 18:30 |
| UndiFineD | they are math gifted, and it is a challenge to keep their interest peeked | 18:32 |

| Roydaman2 | ok guess ill try that | 18:41 |
| aveilleux | Roydaman2: You can try using Xine (sudo apt-get install xine) then tell Rhythmbox to use Xine instead of Gstreamer. | 18:42 |
| aveilleux | Roydaman2: Totem has a Xine version as well (totem-xine) | 18:42 |
| reaper | is their a way I can check to see what the Default password is for that keyring | 18:43 |
| fatharrahman | hello | 18:44 |
| Roydaman2 | ok thats installed lets give it a try | 18:44 |
| Roydaman2 | nope still in fast forward | 18:47 |
| fatharrahman | I installed Ubuntu 10.10 alongside windows 7 in a 3Gib hp with bootable USB every thing was good but now I tried to enter windows restart to see a black screen with error :grub rescue> . what should I do pleas | 18:47 |
| head_victim | !grub2 | fatharrahman | 18:48 |
| ubot2 | fatharrahman: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 18:48 |
| aveilleux | fatharrahman: Ubuntu is installed on the hard drive? | 18:48 |
| * stlsaint hates lxterminal | 18:48 | |
| fatharrahman | yes | 18:48 |
| head_victim | fatharrahman: I have to head off but that should get you started. Or aveilleux appears to be able to help :) | 18:49 |
| aveilleux | fatharrahman: Actually the guide I'm going to point you to is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 18:49 |
| fatharrahman | I can not enter to neither Ubuntu nor windows | 18:50 |
| aveilleux | fatharrahman: You are using GRUB2, not GRUB Legacy. That will clear up the first section. | 18:50 |
| aveilleux | fatharrahman: You still have the Live USB, yes? | 18:50 |
| fatharrahman | yes | 18:50 |
| fatharrahman | I still have live usb | 18:50 |
| aveilleux | fatharrahman: Read the page I just linked. Use the Live USB to restore GRUB. | 18:51 |
| fatharrahman | ok | 18:51 |
| fatharrahman | but | 18:51 |
| fatharrahman | I want to mention that | 18:51 |
| Roydaman2 | totem-xine | 18:51 |
| fatharrahman | I didn't make swap does that have an effect? | 18:51 |
| aveilleux | fatharrahman: A small one, but not in this case/ | 18:52 |
| fatharrahman | ok | 18:52 |
| aveilleux | fatharrahman: It's unrelated to this problem right now. | 18:52 |
| fatharrahman | thank you I'll head the guideline and feed you bach :) | 18:52 |
| fatharrahman | back* | 18:52 |
| aveilleux | I'll take feedbach | 18:53 |
| fatharrahman | but which grub does I have aveilleux? | 18:54 |
| aveilleux | <aveilleux> fatharrahman: You are using GRUB2, not GRUB Legacy. That will clear up the first section | 18:55 |
| fatharrahman | ok | 18:55 |
| Roydaman2 | ok so how do i get rhythmbox to use xine instead of Gstreamer | 19:01 |
| aveilleux | Roydaman2: Apparently it's not an option anymore... Darn... http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7476024&postcount=2 | 19:03 |
| aveilleux | Roydaman2: If you want to try something similar, you can use AmaroK (which is the KDE equivalent of Rhythmbox and uses Xine by default) | 19:03 |
| prat2602 | hi, i wanted to have ubuntu startup from my flash drive but according to the website i need a startup disk creator, http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download. I do not seem to have this in administration and im using 8.04. Any ideas on what i can do? | 19:05 |
| Roydaman2 | ok ill try that just "sudo apt-get install amarok" right?? | 19:05 |
| aveilleux | Roydaman2: Yes. | 19:06 |
| Roydaman2 | ok i think im getting used to how this works way faster than XP also | 19:06 |
| aveilleux | prat2602: Do you mean make a LiveUSB (as in, the LiveCD on a USB stick) or actually install the full system to USB? | 19:07 |
| aveilleux | Roydaman2: Yeah, repositories are pretty handy | 19:08 |
| prat2602 | make a live usb | 19:08 |
| aveilleux | prat2602: You can just use dd and copy the ISO onto the drive | 19:09 |
| aveilleux | prat2602: By that I mean, don't just copy the ISO file onto the drive. You need to do a bit-by-bit copy, or use a program like UNetBootIn (which I've never really been fond of) | 19:10 |
| beachbuddah | gm room - greetings from snowy NYC | 19:11 |
| prat2602 | thanks aveilleux, il look into it | 19:12 |
| Roydaman2 | ok aveilleux hahaha amarok went crazy and crashed hahaha | 19:14 |
| aveilleux | Yikes | 19:14 |
| aveilleux | I'm sorry but I'll be back shortly | 19:14 |
| doez | How can I go back and forth with my mouse4 and mouse5 buttons in i.e the file manager? | 19:27 |
| stlsaint | doez: im not sure what you mean | 19:44 |
| doez | stlsaint: In windows I could go back and forth in folders with my 2 extra buttons on the mouse. Now I can't. Am I missing a driver or something? | 19:44 |
| stlsaint | doez: have you checked the mouse settings | 19:45 |
| doez | stlsaint: I have, they didn't offer me those settings. | 19:48 |
| aveilleux | doez: try installing gpointing-device-settings and running it from System > Preferences > Pointing Devices | 19:57 |
| aveilleux | doez: You'll get some more options based on your mouse hardware | 19:57 |
| doez | aveilleux: Thanks, ill give that a try, | 20:05 |
| doez | aveilleux: It did not work. It only modified the scrollbutton. I'm talking about those buttons on the side, the small ones. | 20:15 |
| aveilleux | doez: Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't know if Nautilus (file manager) supports back and forward as mouse cues -- I know Epiphany (which uses the same settings as Nautilus) does not. | 20:16 |
| aveilleux | doez: Epiphany is a web browser, by the way. Just to clear that up. | 20:16 |
| doez | aveilleux: Yea, it's a Nautlius problem, scrolling between history in firefox is done without a problem. | 20:17 |
| aveilleux | doez: Sorry I can't be of more assistance. | 20:17 |
| doez | aveilleux: I thank you for your effort :) | 20:17 |
| nit-wit | hobgoblin, hey man | 20:22 |

| kristian-aalborg | holstein: ping | 20:26 |
| kristian-aalborg | hi ppl | 20:35 |
| kristian-aalborg | could having the same IRQ assigned to two devices be a problem? | 20:36 |
| bioterror | could | 20:36 |
| bioterror | are you having that kind of situation | 20:36 |
| kristian-aalborg | hi bioterror | 20:37 |
| kristian-aalborg | my spdif sound refuses to work | 20:37 |
| kristian-aalborg | I see that I have the same irq for my video card (with unused hdmi sound) and sound card | 20:38 |
| kristian-aalborg | you can have a look... | 20:38 |
| kristian-aalborg | http://pastebin.com/mWriJigi | 20:38 |
| kristian-aalborg | I have tried a variety of distros and settings... it was working before | 20:39 |
| kristian-aalborg | I'm thinking the kernel may have been fixed to recognise a problem it was oblivious to before, perhaps | 20:39 |
| kristian-aalborg | brb, I'l try to reboot w/ noapic | 20:40 |
| jdeslaur | how can i write a script that I can execute that will change the ip address and other details for eth0? | 20:53 |
| jdeslaur | like changing the ip from 192.168.1.10 to 10.0.0.10 with the appropriate broadcasts and what not | 20:55 |
| bioterror | you can make alias | 20:56 |
| bioterror | nano .bashrc or what ever you're using | 20:56 |
| bioterror | alias something='ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0' | 20:57 |
| jdeslaur | thanks | 21:03 |
| bioterror | probably sudo is needed | 21:04 |
| bioterror | Tue23:05 <bioterror> one thing is make files to /usr/local/bin | 21:05 |
| bioterror | Tue23:05 <bioterror> +to | 21:05 |

| bioterror | http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html | 22:25 |
| fatharrahman | OK | 22:25 |

| fatharrahman | bioterror: thank you, grub back :) | 22:51 |
| bioterror | np | 22:52 |
| bioterror | nice to have positive feedback ;) | 22:52 |

| bioterror | how much ram you've got? | 22:55 |
| fatharrahman | 3 gb ram | 22:56 |
| Yorvyk | fatharrahman, Is a useful read on swap https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 22:59 |
| fatharrahman | OK | 22:59 |
| Yorvyk | fatharrahman, with 3 GiB you shouldn't need swap but you can create a swap file instead of a partition | 23:00 |
| fatharrahman | aha | 23:01 |
| fatharrahman | Thank you Yorvyk | 23:03 |
| Yorvyk | fatharrahman, np. | 23:07 |
