[01:24] sagaci: You mustn't be in Qld :-) [01:24] nope, nsw [01:51] hi [01:52] is http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd the official site for the open driver or not? [01:54] it would to the case [02:53] good morning all [02:53] heya hot_wheelz [02:53] in ubuntu just head to: [02:54] system > admin > additional drivers [02:54] and from there you can activate your ati or nvidia graphics card drivers [02:54] iirc the open source drivers are enabled by default [02:55] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [07:38] This airconditioning noise is worse than being at the world cup [07:42] it's raining [07:44] Catch some water, bottle it and sell it [07:44] Naturally from the sky [07:44] nice [07:44] i'll make millions [07:45] Mount Franklin does [07:57] :D [08:01] Hi [08:01] can someone please guide me about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2011-February/239556.html ? [08:04] Do you have a kernel that is 2.6.33+ ? [08:05] And please don't paste across multiple channels [08:05] Otherwise there'll be trouble [08:09] head_victim: apologies [08:09] does 10.10 comes with kernel 2.6.33+ ? [08:09] kaushal, 10.10 by default comes with 2.6.35 [08:09] but 10.04 doesnt [08:10] 10.04 only comes with 2.6.32 [08:10] ok [08:10] is it available for 10.04 ? [08:10] Maybe in the backports [08:10] ah ok [08:10] Not as well tested though [08:11] either in backports or you would have to compile it yourself, which i dont recommend [08:11] nisshh: ol [08:11] ok* [08:11] so how do i get around this issue ? [08:12] Install 10.10 [08:12] oh you have broadcom wireless [08:12] so enable backports and then do sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [08:12] nisshh: yes [08:12] apparently broadcom drivers sucked prior to around 10.10 is [08:12] ish [08:13] Broadcom wireless has been fine for me since 10.04 [08:13] yeah [08:13] but i am on 10.10 [08:13] i think the issue was the ath5k driver as opposed to the ath9k driver or some such [08:13] and not on 10.04 [08:14] kaushal, i cant help sorry, i dont have anything with broadcom wireless [08:14] Well go to additional drivers and install it [08:14] sagaci: additional drivers ? [08:14] kaushal, system > administration > hardware drivers [08:14] is it from the website of broadcom ? [08:14] Under system administration [08:14] nisshh: i did that [08:14] heh, no [08:14] already [08:15] and? [08:15] Should get an open and a closed driver [08:15] you should have the ath9k driver available unless your wireless is an old model [08:16] ok [08:16] so install athk9 for this broadcom wireless card ? [08:16] nisshh: I have mentioned the card details too in the email thread [08:17] kaushal, i dont know, it really depends on your issue, you just say "its not working" but thats too generic [08:18] Does anything show in networkmanager applet [08:18] yes [08:18] no firmware [08:22] Ah ok [08:25] nisshh: I would pastebin the daemon.log too [08:25] sagaci: sure [08:26] kaushal, if you like [08:44] nisshh: as you suggested to enable backports can i do it in 10.10 ? [08:47] kaushal, it can be done in any version of Ubuntu, but i cannot help you now, i must go out [08:47] nisshh: sure [08:47] and thanks [08:47] np [10:23] hrmm [10:24] haven't seen darkrose in a while [10:24] she in brisbane? [10:25] ikt, no, she just doesnt sit in the loco channels anymore [10:25] essentially, she isnt part of the loco now [10:26] :( [12:09] nisshh, :((( what happened? [12:15] ...? [12:23] elky, I get the distinct impression she wants nothing to do with ubuntu anymore... [12:24] Blank__, she's in other ubuntu channels though [12:24] the topic of one of her channels states: "STFU about Ubuntu" [12:25] she's in the UW channels still [12:25] oh, thought there was something wrong with nisshh but it's just a continuation [12:26] like he bricked his router [12:27] oh wow, quail too [12:33] burnout [12:44] elky, what? [12:44] nisshh, you mentioned darkrose leaving. [12:44] i was asking about that. [12:44] elky, yeah, darkrose and quail inhabit other channels now [12:45] she is still around, but she doesnt like being in the Ubuntu channels now [12:45] don't ask me [12:45] why [12:45] probably because she doesnt contribute to the loco, or whats left of it [12:46] elky, she used to only not be in here, but now she isnt in -chat either [12:46] Dear whoever controls the thermostat, I would like to register a complaint: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDN60901/IDN60901.94767.shtml [12:48] it's still about 27 here, having hit about 38 during the day [12:48] Blank__, it did get cooler. it's decided to get hotter again. at nearly midnight [12:48] elky, looking at those figures, you're right :S [12:49] I do wish that whoever/whatever controlling aforementioned thermostat would knock it down 10 degrees or so [12:49] it is broken [12:50] power failure [12:50] have to get the electrician in? [12:50] we lost power out here for an hour on Thursday, rather interesting [12:50] "what do you mean you only get 12 minutes on the UPS.." [12:51] a UPS != a generator [12:52] indeed [12:52] 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] although I did discover our PABX doesnt have a battery backup in it, bought a UPS for it on Friday [12:58] ah, interesting [12:58] well time for sleep... [12:59] must go before i get caught up chatting to even more people :p [13:12] ok [13:12] 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 [13:13] not a problem [13:13] * ikt self motivates himself
