| hot_wheelz | it would to the case | 01:54 |
| ikt | good morning all | 02:53 |
| ikt | heya hot_wheelz | 02:53 |
| ikt | in ubuntu just head to: | 02:53 |
| ikt | system > admin > additional drivers | 02:54 |
| ikt | and from there you can activate your ati or nvidia graphics card drivers | 02:54 |
| ikt | iirc the open source drivers are enabled by default | 02:54 |
| ikt | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 02:55 |
| sagaci | This airconditioning noise is worse than being at the world cup | 07:38 |
| ikt | it's raining | 07:42 |
| sagaci | Catch some water, bottle it and sell it | 07:44 |
| sagaci | Naturally from the sky | 07:44 |

| kaushal | Hi | 08:01 |
| kaushal | can someone please guide me about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2011-February/239556.html ? | 08:01 |
| head_victim | Do you have a kernel that is 2.6.33+ ? | 08:04 |
| head_victim | And please don't paste across multiple channels | 08:05 |
| sagaci | Otherwise there'll be trouble | 08:05 |
| kaushal | head_victim: apologies | 08:09 |
| kaushal | does 10.10 comes with kernel 2.6.33+ ? | 08:09 |
| nisshh | kaushal, 10.10 by default comes with 2.6.35 | 08:09 |
| nisshh | but 10.04 doesnt | 08:09 |
| nisshh | 10.04 only comes with 2.6.32 | 08:10 |
| kaushal | ok | 08:10 |
| kaushal | is it available for 10.04 ? | 08:10 |
| sagaci | Maybe in the backports | 08:10 |
| kaushal | ah ok | 08:10 |
| sagaci | Not as well tested though | 08:10 |
| nisshh | either in backports or you would have to compile it yourself, which i dont recommend | 08:11 |
| kaushal | nisshh: ol | 08:11 |
| kaushal | ok* | 08:11 |
| kaushal | so how do i get around this issue ? | 08:11 |
| sagaci | Install 10.10 | 08:12 |
| nisshh | oh you have broadcom wireless | 08:12 |
| kaushal | so enable backports and then do sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:12 |
| kaushal | nisshh: yes | 08:12 |
| nisshh | apparently broadcom drivers sucked prior to around 10.10 is | 08:12 |
| nisshh | ish | 08:12 |
| sagaci | Broadcom wireless has been fine for me since 10.04 | 08:13 |
| nisshh | yeah | 08:13 |
| kaushal | but i am on 10.10 | 08:13 |
| nisshh | i think the issue was the ath5k driver as opposed to the ath9k driver or some such | 08:13 |
| kaushal | and not on 10.04 | 08:13 |
| nisshh | kaushal, i cant help sorry, i dont have anything with broadcom wireless | 08:14 |
| sagaci | Well go to additional drivers and install it | 08:14 |
| kaushal | sagaci: additional drivers ? | 08:14 |
| nisshh | kaushal, system > administration > hardware drivers | 08:14 |
| kaushal | is it from the website of broadcom ? | 08:14 |
| sagaci | Under system administration | 08:14 |
| kaushal | nisshh: i did that | 08:14 |
| nisshh | heh, no | 08:14 |
| kaushal | already | 08:14 |
| nisshh | and? | 08:15 |
| sagaci | Should get an open and a closed driver | 08:15 |
| nisshh | you should have the ath9k driver available unless your wireless is an old model | 08:15 |
| kaushal | ok | 08:16 |
| kaushal | so install athk9 for this broadcom wireless card ? | 08:16 |
| kaushal | nisshh: I have mentioned the card details too in the email thread | 08:16 |
| nisshh | kaushal, i dont know, it really depends on your issue, you just say "its not working" but thats too generic | 08:17 |
| sagaci | Does anything show in networkmanager applet | 08:18 |
| kaushal | yes | 08:18 |
| kaushal | no firmware | 08:18 |
| sagaci | Ah ok | 08:22 |
| kaushal | nisshh: I would pastebin the daemon.log too | 08:25 |
| kaushal | sagaci: sure | 08:25 |
| nisshh | kaushal, if you like | 08:26 |
| kaushal | nisshh: as you suggested to enable backports can i do it in 10.10 ? | 08:44 |
| nisshh | kaushal, it can be done in any version of Ubuntu, but i cannot help you now, i must go out | 08:47 |
| kaushal | nisshh: sure | 08:47 |
| kaushal | and thanks | 08:47 |
| kaushal | np | 08:47 |
| ikt | hrmm | 10:23 |
| ikt | haven't seen darkrose in a while | 10:24 |
| ikt | she in brisbane? | 10:24 |
| nisshh | ikt, no, she just doesnt sit in the loco channels anymore | 10:25 |
| nisshh | essentially, she isnt part of the loco now | 10:25 |
| ikt | :( | 10:26 |
| elky | nisshh, :((( what happened? | 12:09 |
| sagaci | ...? | 12:15 |
| Blank__ | elky, I get the distinct impression she wants nothing to do with ubuntu anymore... | 12:23 |
| elky | Blank__, she's in other ubuntu channels though | 12:24 |
| Blank__ | the topic of one of her channels states: "STFU about Ubuntu" | 12:24 |
| elky | she's in the UW channels still | 12:25 |
| sagaci | oh, thought there was something wrong with nisshh but it's just a continuation | 12:25 |
| sagaci | like he bricked his router | 12:26 |
| Blank__ | oh wow, quail too | 12:27 |
| sagaci | burnout | 12:33 |
| nisshh | elky, what? | 12:44 |
| elky | nisshh, you mentioned darkrose leaving. | 12:44 |
| elky | i was asking about that. | 12:44 |
| nisshh | elky, yeah, darkrose and quail inhabit other channels now | 12:44 |
| nisshh | she is still around, but she doesnt like being in the Ubuntu channels now | 12:45 |
| nisshh | don't ask me | 12:45 |
| nisshh | why | 12:45 |
| nisshh | probably because she doesnt contribute to the loco, or whats left of it | 12:45 |
| nisshh | elky, she used to only not be in here, but now she isnt in -chat either | 12:46 |
| elky | Dear whoever controls the thermostat, I would like to register a complaint: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDN60901/IDN60901.94767.shtml | 12:46 |
| Blank__ | it's still about 27 here, having hit about 38 during the day | 12:48 |
| elky | Blank__, it did get cooler. it's decided to get hotter again. at nearly midnight | 12:48 |
| Blank__ | elky, looking at those figures, you're right :S | 12:48 |
| Blank__ | I do wish that whoever/whatever controlling aforementioned thermostat would knock it down 10 degrees or so | 12:49 |
| Phlosten | it is broken | 12:49 |
| Phlosten | power failure | 12:50 |
| Blank__ | have to get the electrician in? | 12:50 |
| Phlosten | we lost power out here for an hour on Thursday, rather interesting | 12:50 |
| Phlosten | "what do you mean you only get 12 minutes on the UPS.." | 12:50 |
| Blank__ | a UPS != a generator | 12:51 |
| Phlosten | indeed | 12:52 |
| Blank__ | until the advent of portable, safe hydrogen cells, we're stuck with things like UPS' with SLA batteries, and fossil fuel-powered generators, with the occasional solar panel/wind turbine somewhere | 12:52 |
| Phlosten | although I did discover our PABX doesnt have a battery backup in it, bought a UPS for it on Friday | 12:52 |
| Blank__ | ah, interesting | 12:58 |
| Blank__ | well time for sleep... | 12:58 |
| Blank__ | must go before i get caught up chatting to even more people :p | 12:59 |
| ikt | ok | 13:12 |
| ikt | so I have to simply resetup ubuntu on a pc, reinstall bind, copy the files over, redownload/install zimbra, then flick the ip's over and we're all good ayay | 13:12 |
| ikt | not a problem | 13:13 |
| * ikt self motivates himself | 13:13 | |
