| duanedesign | Average_Guy: what wireless card do you have? You can get this info by running the following command in the Terminal: lspci | grep Network | 00:10 |
| Average_Guy | i have :) | 00:11 |
| Average_Guy | broadcom bcm4312 | 00:11 |
| Average_Guy | downloaded b43-fwcutter_012.orig.tar from launchpad and hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_38.tar from broadcom | 00:12 |
| Average_Guy | I THINK it's the STA driver and the broadcom firmware extrector linux wants | 00:13 |
| Average_Guy | both tarballs are sitting in my home folder on the linux partition now /home/robert/ | 00:13 |
| Average_Guy | I don't know it they are the right files and I don't know what to do with em | 00:14 |
| duanedesign | Average_Guy: ok | 00:17 |
| duanedesign | Average_Guy: looks like it is the STA. The good news is that I think it is in the repository | 00:18 |
| Average_Guy | ok.. so? | 00:19 |
| duanedesign | Average_Guy: could you please try the following command: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source | 00:19 |
| Average_Guy | and it should work with no internet connection? | 00:20 |
| Average_Guy | I am in wondows 7 right now | 00:20 |
| Average_Guy | i'll reboot and go try it if ya want | 00:21 |
| duanedesign | Average_Guy: ahh, i see. | 00:21 |
| duanedesign | ok | 00:21 |
| duanedesign | do you have a usb thumbdrive or something you could use to transfer the package? | 00:22 |
| Average_Guy | i can download in windows and drag to my linux partition. i downloaded hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_38.tar from launchpad which I THINK is the STA driver | 00:23 |
| Average_Guy | it is already in my home folder on the linux partition | 00:23 |
| Average_Guy | i am pretty new to linux tho and don't know what to do next | 00:24 |
| duanedesign | it is much easier if you can get the .deb file | 00:25 |
| Average_Guy | where might I look? | 00:26 |
| duanedesign | i am looking for it now | 00:27 |
| Average_Guy | THANK YOU!!!! | 00:27 |

| Average_Guy | on it.. | 00:33 |
| duanedesign | Juest: is it that your sound is shown as Dummy Output in Sound Preferences? | 00:33 |
| duanedesign | Average_Guy: to intall that deb you should be able to double-click on it once you are in Ubuntu. or run the command: dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-source_5.60.48.36%2Bbdcom-0ubuntu3_i386.deb | 00:34 |
| Average_Guy | ok. then what? this will make the wireless card work? | 00:36 |

| holstein | ^ that is old | 05:30 |
| holstein | so you dont need to do all of that* | 05:30 |
| holstein | and you have ndisgtk already installed | 05:30 |
| holstein | the command "ndiswrapper -l" should come in handy for you | 05:31 |
| eiriksvin | ok yes its netwpn111.inf | 05:33 |
| eiriksvin | ok so, let me try that | 05:34 |
| eiriksvin | this is what I got | 05:35 |
| eiriksvin | WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release. | 05:35 |

| holstein | so they know whats going on | 05:42 |
| eiriksvin | well thanks, i did manage to get ndiswrapper and the driver in, but idk if its the right one so i tryed to get the updated one... | 05:43 |
| holstein | eiriksvin: if you can wire it up | 05:43 |
| holstein | and update the machine | 05:43 |
| holstein | that can help | 05:43 |
| eiriksvin | ok, heres the next thing.... | 05:43 |
| eiriksvin | i had a boot option it went | 05:44 |
| eiriksvin | to a screen when the computer started that let me choose windows 7 or ubuntu... that was fine | 05:45 |
| holstein | grub | 05:45 |
| holstein | !grub | 05:45 |
| ubot2 | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

| eiriksvin | i still have it but the top ubuntu choice give me a shpeel about having to load a kernal first... thats supposed to be the newest one... but it aint working? | 05:46 |
| holstein | eiriksvin: run the updates like i suggested | 05:46 |
| holstein | if its still not working | 05:47 |
| holstein | let us know | 05:47 |
| eiriksvin | but it happened after i updated ubuntu | 05:48 |
| holstein | so, you dont want to update? | 05:48 |
| holstein | you dont have to* | 05:48 |
| eiriksvin | well sure, is it easy? | 05:48 |
| holstein | im proposing you might get an update to that kernel | 05:48 |
| eiriksvin | ok, thats cool but can it be done via usb? | 05:51 |
| holstein | in theory you could | 05:52 |
| holstein | but you'd have to download the updates somehow | 05:52 |
| holstein | so, im going to say no | 05:52 |
| eiriksvin | dern, ok... i guess im stick with this for a bit | 05:52 |
| holstein | yeah? | 05:52 |
| holstein | do it how you did it last time | 05:53 |
| eiriksvin | yeah i got no cd | 05:53 |
| holstein | just plug a wire in | 05:53 |
| holstein | eiriksvin: a network cable | 05:53 |
| holstein | and update | 05:53 |
| eiriksvin | no i got this comp from somone that had it on there but never used ubuntu | 05:53 |
| holstein | you said you did an update | 05:54 |
| holstein | and go that kernel | 05:54 |
| holstein | the newer kernel | 05:54 |
| eiriksvin | yep, i did | 05:54 |
| holstein | that wont boot | 05:54 |
| holstein | just do that again | 05:54 |
| holstein | and update again | 05:54 |
| holstein | however you did it that time | 05:54 |
| eiriksvin | update from this kernel? | 05:54 |
| holstein | im not srue | 05:55 |
| holstein | sure* | 05:55 |
| holstein | just take all the updates that are available | 05:55 |
| eiriksvin | yeah cus i dont want to lose this too | 05:55 |
| holstein | lose what? | 05:55 |
| holstein | that kernel? | 05:55 |
| eiriksvin | my ubuntu | 05:55 |
| holstein | just dont remove it | 05:56 |
| holstein | eiriksvin: updating is usually a good idea | 05:56 |
| eiriksvin | oh just dont remove the older stuff button? | 05:56 |
| holstein | theres not a button like that | 05:57 |
| holstein | packages get replaced | 05:57 |
| holstein | but the older kernels will just stay there | 05:57 |
| eiriksvin | ok well im gonna bring my computer back home and get on windows to do some studyin | 05:59 |
| eiriksvin | i am pretty dumb about all this and i dont want to f thing up any worse | 05:59 |
| holstein | just keep your data backed up | 06:00 |
| eiriksvin | yeah will do | 06:00 |
| Eiriksvin | ok, back to work... | 06:28 |
| Eiriksvin | im trying to get the win xp driver for Netgear Rangemax WPN111 going | 06:29 |
| Eiriksvin | the others recognise the device, but they dont let it work... and i cant figure out why | 06:30 |
| Eiriksvin | how do i get ubuntu to make sure theres nothing else going on with the device to not let it work? | 06:31 |

| Average_Guy | anyone running 'wbar' dock? | 13:19 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, I am not sorry | 13:20 |
| Average_Guy | can you recommend a launcher? awn is overkill | 13:23 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, well I am on the cairo dock team so I am a bit predjudiced :) | 13:24 |
| Average_Guy | i been eyeballin that one:) | 13:24 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, cairo dock is probably the most complex in terms of configuration and the most reliable in my opinion | 13:24 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, you can install it via synaptic package manager ,, or compile it manually from bzr which would be the developer's versioin | 13:25 |
| coz_ | version | 13:25 |
| Average_Guy | working on it | 13:25 |
| Daniel0108 | hi coz_ | 13:25 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, make sure you go into synaptic package manager | 13:25 |
| coz_ | Daniel0108, hey guy | 13:25 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, hit Search and type in cairo dock | 13:25 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, there will be several packages there | 13:25 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, just be sure you install all of the cairo dock packages not cairo (clock) :) | 13:26 |
| Average_Guy | k | 13:26 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, do you know w hich video card you have there? | 13:26 |
| Average_Guy | ati raidon | 13:27 |
| Average_Guy | thats all i kno off the top | 13:27 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, ok I believe that should be fine with the opengl options | 13:27 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, after installation,, you should see the options of starting it under Applications/system tools | 13:27 |
| coz_ | if on gnome | 13:27 |
| kristian-aalborg | soo... I have a box with no cd, and I can't get it to boot from USB | 13:27 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, you want to try the opengl option first | 13:27 |
| coz_ | kristian-aalborg, oooo are you sure the option to boot from usb is in the bios? | 13:28 |
| Average_Guy | ok | 13:28 |
| kristian-aalborg | I'm thinking of installing to an usb pen and then move it over... alternatively I might try to install over network | 13:28 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, there are not many docks available out there and the two main ones are awn and cairo dock | 13:29 |
| Average_Guy | ooooooo purdy | 13:29 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, oh its running now? | 13:29 |
| Average_Guy | got it up now :) | 13:29 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, there you go | 13:29 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, now right click the dock go to Cairo dock and then configuration | 13:30 |
| coz_ | rather Configure | 13:30 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, the config dialog will open,, at the bottom left of that dialog is an "Advanced": button ,, press it | 13:30 |
| Average_Guy | don't c it | 13:31 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, did the config window open? | 13:31 |
| Average_Guy | yes | 13:31 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, ok hit printscreen to create a screenshot and upload to picpaste.com then give me the link here | 13:31 |
| coz_ | or if you have a dropbox account | 13:32 |
| coz_ | doesnt matter ,, I just need to see the config window | 13:32 |
| kristian-aalborg | ah... I guess I could simply make a floppy with grub on it, then have an entry that took me to an iso | 13:33 |
| coz_ | kristian-aalborg, mm I havent done that ,, h ope it works :) | 13:34 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, are you having issues with picpaste? | 13:36 |
| Average_Guy | http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa257/Scarface-Backoff/Screenshot.png | 13:37 |
| coz_ | oo | 13:37 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, open a terminal and type cairo-dock --version | 13:37 |
| Average_Guy | k | 13:37 |
| Average_Guy | 2.0.9-karmic1 | 13:38 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, ah you are on karmic | 13:38 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, is this a new install of ubuntu? | 13:38 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, in that same terminal lsb_release -a | 13:39 |
| Average_Guy | is say Linux Mint 8 | 13:39 |
| coz_ | ok | 13:40 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, well in that config panel you can see "Position" if you click t hat you can set the dock at the top or sides if you like | 13:40 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, or move your panel to the top of the screen and leave the dock at the bottom | 13:40 |
| coz_ | and I see you do not have composition on | 13:41 |
| coz_ | compositing | 13:41 |
| Average_Guy | i don't? | 13:41 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, let me check mint versions hold on | 13:41 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, the current Mint is mint 10 | 13:41 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, let me ask,,, is there a reason you went with linux Mint instead of Ubuntu? | 13:42 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, if you notice ,, you have a black rectangle around cairo dock.,.. yes? | 13:43 |
| coz_ | maybe not ,, it could be your wallpaper | 13:43 |
| Average_Guy | actually i have several versions of both distro | 13:43 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, which versions of ubuntu do you have? | 13:43 |
| Average_Guy | yeah rectangle is there | 13:43 |
| Average_Guy | 10.04 and 10.10 desktop and server | 13:44 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, ok and you dont have compiz running | 13:44 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, on 10.04 and 10.10 there will be different versions of cairo dock | 13:44 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, if you dont have compiz running on that mint install open a terminal and type gconf-editor | 13:45 |
| Average_Guy | i also have puppy, fedora, slack, suse- all i686 and 64 but linux mint and ONLY version 8 is the only one my keyboard works on. and I cant install without it... | 13:46 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, ok ,, well in mint lets get compositing running | 13:46 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, open gconf-editor | 13:46 |
| Average_Guy | yes i have compiz | 13:46 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, oh! ok | 13:47 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, but it is not running? | 13:47 |
| Average_Guy | it is | 13:47 |
| Average_Guy | i believe | 13:47 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, mm are the windows wobbly? | 13:47 |
| Average_Guy | no, but i can make them | 13:48 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, well open ccsm and make them wobbly just to test that it is indeed running | 13:48 |
| Average_Guy | in the manager now | 13:48 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, ok enable Wobbly windows | 13:48 |
| Average_Guy | dun | 13:48 |
| Average_Guy | wobbly now | 13:49 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, ok are they wobbly now? | 13:49 |
| Average_Guy | yup | 13:49 |
| coz_ | oh ok | 13:49 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, then compositing is on | 13:49 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, that black rectangle may just be that themes' look | 13:49 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, on that particular version of cairo dock the "Advanced" button is not present | 13:49 |
| Average_Guy | yeah, it is i think. just stands out on the background | 13:50 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, you can , as I said,, move the dock via the "Position" plugin in it's config | 13:50 |
| Average_Guy | yeah i raised it an inch | 13:50 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, or set it to the top or sides | 13:51 |
| coz_ | however you prefer it | 13:51 |
| Average_Guy | trying to theme it now. i not really one of those ppl trying to make my puter look like a mac | 13:51 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, ok cool :) | 13:51 |
| Average_Guy | I appreciate your help | 13:51 |
| Average_Guy | really just the difficulty changing the position it exactly y i deleted awn | 13:52 |
| coz_ | Average_Guy, no problem...if you have more questions about cairo dock you can meet me in the #cairo-dock channel for official support :) | 13:52 |

| japtol | i want to learn ubuntu | 16:00 |
| holstein | but im suggesting that you can learn about certain server elements | 16:01 |
| japtol | so i can learn how to install gazelle onto my VPS | 16:01 |
| holstein | that are generic to any platform | 16:01 |
| japtol | can i learn about them in ubuntu on my virtual box | 16:01 |
| holstein | http://www.filesharenews.com/2010/05/26/install-gazelle-debianubuntu/ | 16:01 |
| holstein | japtol: you are interested in file sharing? | 16:02 |

| holstein | right | 16:05 |
| japtol | but im having trouble with the installation steps | 16:05 |
| japtol | i don't know how to execute some of them | 16:05 |
| japtol | this is the installation guide im using | 16:06 |
| japtol | http://what.cd/gazelle/wiki.php?action=article&id=4 | 16:06 |
| japtol | u might get a 404 | 16:06 |
| japtol | u'll have to register to view it :/ | 16:06 |
| holstein | maybe you'd feel more comfortable installing something from the default repositories | 16:07 |
| japtol | default repositories? like what? | 16:08 |
| japtol | im using putty | 16:09 |
| japtol | to log into my root | 16:09 |
| holstein | japtol: like some other software with that functionality | 16:09 |
| japtol | for my VPS | 16:09 |
| japtol | ah.. | 16:09 |
| holstein | something easier to deal with | 16:09 |
| holstein | what is the goal? | 16:09 |
| holstein | you can upload and download files via SSH or SFTP | 16:10 |
| japtol | yes | 16:16 |
| japtol | im using putty | 16:16 |
| japtol | to install the gazelle | 16:16 |
| japtol | my goal is to set up a site like what.cd | 16:16 |
| japtol | just as an experiment | 16:16 |
| japtol | i want to make a private website | 16:16 |
| holstein | putty is just a way for you to connect | 16:16 |
| japtol | yep im using putty to ssh | 16:16 |
| holstein | there are ways to do that with content management systems right? | 16:17 |
| holstein | maybe that would be easier, and give more funcionality as well | 16:18 |
| holstein | maybe something like http://www.fbloggs.com/2009/06/11/how-to-make-content-private-in-drupal/ | 16:19 |
| japtol | ok | 16:24 |
| japtol | im not sure | 16:24 |
| japtol | ill look into it | 16:24 |
| holstein | japtol: im not a web guy | 16:24 |
| holstein | but drupal is huge | 16:24 |
| holstein | drupal joomla and wordpress are well known | 16:25 |
| holstein | and well supported | 16:25 |
| japtol | i c | 16:25 |
| holstein | ive set up test cases of each | 16:25 |
| japtol | well | 16:25 |
| holstein | this is the first mention of gazelle | 16:25 |
| japtol | does that help me install gazelle? | 16:25 |
| holstein | and by searching around | 16:25 |
| holstein | its seems more obscure | 16:25 |
| holstein | but, do-able | 16:25 |
| holstein | japtol: im suggesting one of those with private content as an alternative to gazelle | 16:26 |
| holstein | if the goal is to install gazelle | 16:26 |
| holstein | you'll probably have to contanct someone more envolved in that project | 16:26 |
| holstein | but, if you want to host private content | 16:26 |
| holstein | on a webserver | 16:26 |
| holstein | there are alternatives | 16:27 |
| holstein | lots of them* | 16:27 |
| japtol | alright | 16:27 |
| japtol | thx | 16:27 |

| virgo | is there a way to change some settings to get in ob my keyboard | 19:09 |
| === Hellow is now known as collinp | ||
| === mexalokeq is now known as tuxampol | ||
| attackulz | I find I get the best help here | 19:33 |
| attackulz | anyone around? | 19:33 |
| * holstein is moderately available | 19:34 | |
| * nlsthzn waves but knows nothing so just lurks | 19:35 | |
| attackulz | ahaha you again | 19:35 |
| attackulz | numpad is out on my laptop. it used to work. about a month ago it went out and all I did was open the keyboard settings and it came back on.. this time its been about 2 weeks and I dont know what the problem is | 19:35 |
| attackulz | :( | 19:37 |
| holstein | attackulz: its not a hardware problem? | 19:39 |
| attackulz | more then likely not. Its less then a year old | 19:40 |
| attackulz | and I treat my computer well | 19:40 |
| holstein | lol | 19:40 |
| holstein | like that matters | 19:40 |
| holstein | its a computer ;) | 19:40 |
| attackulz | and considering last time i oppened up the keyboard menu and it kicked back on tells me its probably not | 19:40 |
| holstein | that supports the software problem theory | 19:41 |
| holstein | but, does not confirm it | 19:41 |
| attackulz | yeah | 19:41 |
| holstein | attackulz: thats what i use live CD's for | 19:41 |
| holstein | if you boot up into your OS | 19:41 |
| attackulz | so pretty much | 19:41 |
| attackulz | if any hardware is fucking up | 19:41 |
| holstein | and the numbers dont work | 19:41 |
| attackulz | i run the live cd | 19:41 |
| holstein | and they do with a live CD | 19:41 |
| holstein | then, you can assume its something with your install | 19:42 |
| attackulz | same ol thing | 19:42 |
| holstein | attackulz: so, its broken with a live CD too? | 19:42 |
| attackulz | no i mean same thing as i had to try with my last problem | 19:42 |
| attackulz | haha | 19:42 |
| holstein | attackulz: is there a numlock light? | 19:42 |
| attackulz | yeah. I wish that were the problem | 19:43 |
| virgo | anyone knows how to get ^ character from keyboard if there is no key with this? | 19:43 |
| attackulz | its not above the 6... | 19:44 |
| nlsthzn | virgo: long shot... try openoffice writer... insert character... copy and paste from there? | 19:44 |
| virgo | haha how do you think i did write this character to this chat | 19:45 |
| virgo | copy-paste | 19:46 |
| virgo | thats not the solution i am looking for but yeah, it may be the best | 19:46 |
| holstein | virgo: whats above 6 ? | 19:47 |
| attackulz | I have no clue if im right at all because I have not oppened this application yet to see what it does. but what about 'keyboard shortcutts' | 19:47 |
| virgo | & | 19:47 |
| holstein | attackulz: is there a numlock light? | 19:47 |
| attackulz | yeah there is | 19:47 |
| attackulz | and its not off | 19:47 |
| holstein | attackulz: so the light comes on | 19:47 |
| holstein | and it doesnt work? | 19:48 |
| holstein | does the light do anything? | 19:48 |
| attackulz | laptop | 19:48 |
| attackulz | no lite | 19:48 |
| virgo | ¬¬ these pointless characters would be good to replace with something useful | 19:48 |
| holstein | virgo: where are you? | 19:49 |
| holstein | what kind of keyboard is that? | 19:49 |
| nlsthzn | virgo: do you have US keyboard selected? | 19:49 |
| virgo | no | 19:49 |
| virgo | estonian | 19:49 |
| attackulz | odd. | 19:49 |
| holstein | yeah, try a US keyboard layout | 19:49 |
| holstein | and shift+6 | 19:49 |
| virgo | then all the other keys will get messt up | 19:50 |
| attackulz | oh my fuck | 19:50 |
| virgo | and no üõöä that are required for my language | 19:50 |
| holstein | virgo: you should be able to select | 19:50 |
| holstein | put a shortcut in the panel | 19:50 |
| holstein | jump between them as needed | 19:50 |
| attackulz | i got this idea when u mentioned numlock that made me think that maybe the numlock key was not ingaging properly. I took it off and pressed real hard and bam. 45464132165185613 | 19:50 |
| holstein | cool | 19:51 |
| holstein | seemed so much like hardware | 19:51 |
| attackulz | apparently | 19:52 |
| virgo | i had also keyboard hardware problems(wire) some weeks ago, but thats another story :) | 19:53 |
| virgo | got fixed easy with some soldering | 19:54 |
| kristian_ | hi all | 19:56 |
| virgo | there is no english keyboard availible on the list :S | 19:57 |
| kristian_ | can I have a wire from my (wifi-enabled) laptop to a desktop, using it as a router= | 19:57 |
| kristian_ | ? | 19:57 |
| virgo | yes | 19:57 |
| kristian_ | hi virgo | 19:58 |
| kristian_ | what should I ask the google for instructions? | 19:58 |
| virgo | with latest ubuntu its very easy to share internet like this | 19:58 |
| kristian_ | this is Lubuntu 10.10 | 19:58 |
| virgo | same as mine | 19:58 |
| kristian_ | actually, the laptop has no OS as we speak though | 19:59 |
| virgo | set LAN ipv4 settings to shared to others | 19:59 |
| virgo | i have one very old laptop sharing internet like this | 20:00 |
| virgo | it gets internet from usb stick | 20:00 |
| virgo | and shares to lan | 20:00 |
| virgo | you even dont need to install | 20:00 |
| virgo | just use live cd | 20:00 |
| kristian_ | yes, I guess the router box could easily be very old | 20:00 |
| virgo | and on the install screen you can setup internet | 20:00 |
| virgo | mine even does not have HDD | 20:00 |
| kristian_ | livecd of Lubuntu or Ubuntu... or both? | 20:01 |
| virgo | mine was ubuntu netbook 10.10 | 20:01 |
| virgo | i guess any latest installer should have network setup possibilities before install | 20:02 |
| kristian_ | virgo, something like this: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-easily-share-your-wireless-connection-in-ubuntu-9-10/ | 20:03 |
| virgo | yes | 20:04 |
| kristian_ | that seems doable ;) | 20:04 |
| virgo | where does your wireless come? | 20:04 |
| kristian_ | from a router | 20:05 |
| kristian_ | my own... local WAN | 20:05 |
| virgo | and it doesnt have wire ports? | 20:05 |
| virgo | for LAN | 20:05 |
| kristian_ | it's in another room, and I only have one short wire ;) | 20:05 |
| virgo | well, using working laptop as a router is kinda waste, but if you have it anyway, then you can use it | 20:08 |
| kristian_ | it'll only be temporary... two days or so | 20:09 |
| virgo | ok | 20:09 |

| japtol | how do i get into vhost /var/www | 20:26 |
| japtol | in my root | 20:26 |
| virgo | cd .. | 20:26 |
| virgo | 2 times | 20:27 |
| virgo | and then cd var/www | 20:27 |
| virgo | in terminal | 20:27 |
| stlsaint | where are you trying to get into? | 20:28 |
| stlsaint | virgo: ^^ | 20:31 |
| stlsaint | opps wrong person | 20:31 |
| stlsaint | anyway you will want to do a /var/www instead of var/www | 20:31 |
| stlsaint | var/www will make the system assume that there is a var directory in the root folder | 20:31 |
| John__ | I have been running live discs and USB drives without installing. When I run them, I have no internet or apparent option to connect to it. The computer's physical button is set to connect. Any possible reasons? | 20:32 |
| virgo | stlsaint: there is var directory in root folder | 20:33 |
| John__ | I am completely new at this and have no clue as to what you said. Sorry. | 20:34 |
| nlsthzn | John__: hardware your using? | 20:35 |
| John__ | I have a dell laptop studio laptop | 20:36 |
| nlsthzn | John__: top right there should be a network icon... have you clicked on it and can you see wireless networks being displayed? | 20:38 |
| John__ | I don't rember it. but I should and will check again. | 20:39 |
| nlsthzn | John__: also, in terminal you can run "sudo ifconfig -a" should show all your network interfaces... look for wlan0... if it is there you can try "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" if memory serves... | 20:40 |
| japtol | guys | 20:40 |

| japtol | apt-get install aptitude doesnt work either | 20:42 |
| nlsthzn | why use aptitude, when you can use apt-get... or use apt-get to install aptitide | 20:42 |
| virgo | you wanna do apt-get update? | 20:42 |
| japtol | yes | 20:42 |
| japtol | and upgrade | 20:42 |
| nlsthzn | then do the above but replace aptitude with apt-get | 20:43 |
| japtol | thx | 20:43 |
| virgo | so why cant do "sudo apt-get upgrade" ? | 20:43 |
| japtol | ok | 20:44 |
| japtol | im done with both | 20:44 |
| japtol | apt-get upgrade, apt-get update | 20:44 |
| japtol | now i assume: apt-get install build-essential gcc wget subversion automake libtool make g++ -f mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient15-dev libboost-date-time-dev libboost-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-serialization-dev zlib1g-dev libpng-dev libmcrypt-dev libxml2-dev libevent-dev libmysqld-dev | 20:45 |

| coalwater | any one can help me about ubuntu beginners team? | 20:46 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: sup what would you like to know? | 20:47 |
| stlsaint | japtol: means the package you wanted to install doenst exist in repo | 20:47 |
| coalwater | stlsaint: i did every thing in this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Membership but i dont know what i need to do now | 20:47 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: you sent a email to the team ml? | 20:48 |
| japtol | stlsaint, how do i fix that | 20:48 |
| stlsaint | japtol: grab the right package ;) | 20:48 |
| stlsaint | japtol: what is it that you are trying to install | 20:48 |
| japtol | gazelle | 20:48 |
| japtol | im just folllowing the installation guide directions | 20:49 |
| japtol | the first step | 20:49 |
| japtol | 1. Update software, and package cache: | 20:49 |
| japtol | sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade | 20:49 |
| japtol | i did that already | 20:49 |
| coalwater | stlsaint: yea 2 days ago, and duane hinnen replied, then i sent a reply about 21 hours ago, and got another reply about 15 hours ago from the same person | 20:49 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: alright well the rest is up to you | 20:50 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: hang out here in the channel and get a feel for everyone | 20:50 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: eventually you would ask a current mentor to be your mentor | 20:50 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: if that mentor chooses to take you on then they will handle the rest of the process | 20:50 |
| coalwater | stlsaint: yea, i put my name on the waiting list lol | 20:50 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: aye | 20:51 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: are you currently familiar with ubuntu? | 20:51 |
| coalwater | yea, started using it regularly like a year ago | 20:51 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: good good, it would serve best if you offered some support to folks as they come in | 20:52 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: you do not have to be a member to give support | 20:52 |
| virgo | but i think you have some more responsibility about what you suggest to people | 20:53 |
| stlsaint | well of course, if you are found giving harmful advice im sure admin actions will follow | 20:53 |
| coalwater | rm -rf / lol jk | 20:54 |
| virgo | if you are some random person like me and tell people to screw hard drive or whatever, then nothing happens to me | 20:54 |
| stlsaint | virgo: on the contrary you can be quickly banned | 20:54 |
| stlsaint | no one is protected from the BAN hammer ;) | 20:55 |
| virgo | true :) | 20:55 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: aye, never give that ;) | 20:55 |
| coalwater | im kinda impatient, wish someone could just start showing me how to do some package coding | 20:55 |
| coalwater | lol | 20:55 |
| stlsaint | package coding??? | 20:56 |
| coalwater | i mean | 20:56 |
| stlsaint | That is two different focus groups | 20:56 |
| coalwater | like packages | 20:56 |
| stlsaint | packaging? like MOTD? | 20:56 |
| coalwater | ok i don't know what that is, i just meant like debugging, developing , etc .. i thought i should start here rather than just jump into the other focus group directly | 20:57 |
| virgo | The Ubuntu Beginners Team exists to enhance the initial experience of new Ubuntu users and to guide existing Ubuntu users to become part of the global Ubuntu community | 20:58 |
| coalwater | so what are mentors for | 20:58 |
| coalwater | or masters | 20:58 |
| virgo | i would want to get to this Beginners Team too some day | 20:58 |
| stlsaint | mentors help you get acquainted within the team | 20:58 |
| coalwater | ok so let's say i have some programming experience, but not specifically in ubuntu, what am i supposed to do | 20:59 |
| === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler | ||

| virgo | open-source-software | 21:01 |
| virgo | there are many projects | 21:01 |
| virgo | and sure need coders | 21:01 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam | 21:01 |
| virgo | or you can think something out yourself and make project | 21:01 |
| coalwater | ok so i should try the begginers dev? | 21:02 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: sure :) | 21:02 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: although that will still not grant you BT membership | 21:03 |
| stlsaint | membership comes upon voting | 21:03 |

| coalwater | nothing comes easy huh lol | 21:03 |
| stlsaint | nhandler: Hello | 21:03 |
| stlsaint | nhandler: just saying hello since i havent spoken with ya in some months | 21:04 |
| coalwater | so votes come by getting recognized by people in the irc? | 21:04 |
| virgo | i guess you must be pro programmer to get into ubuntu-dev team | 21:04 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: yep | 21:04 |
| stlsaint | virgo: nope | 21:04 |
| coalwater | virgo: not really pro | 21:04 |
| stlsaint | virgo: dev membership comes by testing/voting | 21:05 |
| coalwater | virgo: since i spent some time doing this i could give it to someone to read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/coalwater lol | 21:05 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: did you put that in your letter to the mailing list? (the wiki link) | 21:06 |
| coalwater | yea, there's an email template in the membership page, i also put my launchpand link | 21:06 |
| coalwater | lauchpad* | 21:07 |
| virgo | haha, im trying to learn python also | 21:07 |
| coalwater | virgo: python is pretty interesting, and widely used in a lot of things | 21:07 |
| stlsaint | as i am in python | 21:07 |
| coalwater | so , what do people do usually in the meetings | 21:09 |
| stlsaint | discuss team motions and such | 21:10 |
| nhandler | Howdy stlsaint | 21:10 |
| coalwater | ok so stlsaint there's something i need to understand a bit, am i supposed to aim at membership here first then switch to the dev focus group or should i just try to get there first, or should i get a master first lol | 21:15 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: meh, you can enter the dev channel the same way you did here and just get acquainted with folks | 21:16 |
| stlsaint | no need to put a order on things for now | 21:16 |
| coalwater | and how do i get the membership then, votes wont come by their selves :D | 21:17 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: you have to meet and great folks | 21:18 |
| stlsaint | spend some QT in this channel getting to know folks | 21:18 |
| stlsaint | your mentor will handle all the other stuff and guide you along | 21:19 |
| coalwater | :o the dev page has a quick start guide, cool lol | 21:19 |
| coalwater | that's a huge list to study, guess i know what im gonna do now lol | 21:21 |
| coalwater | stlsaint: what's QT by the way lol | 21:24 |
| stlsaint | quality time :D | 21:24 |
| stlsaint | japtol: sorry bout that | 21:37 |
| stlsaint | well i must depart for the night good folks | 21:39 |

| kristian_ | holstein, yeah | 22:07 |
| holstein | kristian_: it seemed really easy from the gnome network manager | 22:07 |
| kristian_ | it sure did :P | 22:08 |
| holstein | i remember setting it up once really easily | 22:08 |
| holstein | i forget which way though | 22:08 |
| holstein | and its been a while | 22:08 |
| holstein | i think i was coming from wifi | 22:08 |
| kristian_ | this is Lubuntu, so the interface is slightly different | 22:08 |
| holstein | and sharing the lan on the netbook | 22:08 |
| holstein | kristian_: the network tool is different too ? | 22:08 |
| holstein | right? | 22:08 |
| holstein | thats wicd? | 22:08 |
| kristian_ | I have wifi here also... I want to wire it to a desktop | 22:09 |
| holstein | i would try downloading a live CD | 22:09 |

| holstein | with gnome | 22:09 |
| holstein | 10.10 | 22:09 |
| holstein | and try it from there | 22:09 |
| holstein | with the gnome network tool | 22:09 |
| kristian_ | hmm | 22:09 |
| kristian_ | I guess I could do that | 22:09 |
| holstein | *just because it worked for me, and there are guides for that | 22:09 |
| kristian_ | yeah | 22:09 |
| holstein | then, i bet when you get it going once or twice | 22:09 |
| holstein | you can figure out how to do it with wicd | 22:09 |
| kristian_ | the thing is that there's an equally "simple" thing for it in my DE | 22:10 |
| holstein | kristian_: yeah, i just cant confirm that | 22:11 |
| holstein | since i havet tried in wicd | 22:11 |
| holstein | i know i got it working once in gnome | 22:11 |
| holstein | it could be a 'coming soon' feature ;) | 22:12 |

| kristian-livecd_ | I'm online, wooooh! | 23:26 |
| holstein | kristian-livecd_: :) | 23:26 |
| MrChrisDruif | kristian-livecd_: Good going | 23:27 |
| kristian-livecd_ | yeah... I'm still unsure if it's LXDE who's not ready or me who's dumb, though | 23:38 |
| * MrChrisDruif doesn't know...only you can kristian-livecd_ | 23:39 | |
| kristian-livecd_ | btw, the "user-friendliness" of the Ubuntu livecd has gotten too far when you have to press a secret key to get to the custom settings... and those settings are necessary to even start from a 2003 high-scale laptop | 23:39 |
| MrChrisDruif | What custom settings? | 23:40 |
| kristian-livecd_ | nomodeset | 23:40 |
| kristian-livecd_ | also, the "install ubuntu" option, which it booted to halted | 23:41 |
| MrChrisDruif | Alright...I never needed to use that | 23:41 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu doesn't require so much effort ;-) | 23:44 |
| kristian-livecd_ | MrChrisDruif, I've had to use it for a lot of HW | 23:44 |
| kristian-livecd_ | including my parents' brand new super duper laptop | 23:44 |
| MrChrisDruif | charlie-tca: Xubuntu is a bit older, isn't it? And it's got full support of Ubuntu/Canonical ;) | 23:45 |
| charlie-tca | no | 23:45 |
| charlie-tca | 1st Ubuntu release was in 2005, 1st xubuntu release a year later | 23:45 |
| kristian-livecd_ | it's silly... the beauty of the linux kernel is the possibility to flex around so much hardware | 23:46 |
| charlie-tca | but xubuntu does not use unity, and doesn't mask the cd menu | 23:46 |
| MrChrisDruif | charlie-tca: Yeah, and Lubuntu is like a year old? | 23:46 |
| charlie-tca | something like that | 23:46 |
| MrChrisDruif | ...and it's not an official derivate yet :) | 23:47 |
| charlie-tca | oh, yeah, it is older than Lubuntu | 23:47 |
| charlie-tca | right | 23:47 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu is official, unsupported derivative, Lubuntu is unofficial, unsupported derivative | 23:47 |
| MrChrisDruif | Unsupported? Alright... | 23:49 |
| charlie-tca | the only supported versions are Ubuntu and Kubuntu | 23:50 |
| MrChrisDruif | Alright | 23:50 |
| charlie-tca | We get help from the developers, but no money from Canonical | 23:50 |
| MrChrisDruif | Well...that is what I meant...support from devs :) | 23:51 |
| * charlie-tca has to use the disclaimer now, I am the Xubuntu Project Lead | 23:51 | |
| charlie-tca | oh, yeah, we do get support from the devs, for which we are very thankful | 23:52 |
| MrChrisDruif | :) | 23:52 |
| seidos | "back alley support" | 23:53 |
| charlie-tca | We would like to possibly discuss the procedures to become official at UDS. There seems to be nothing actually written for it. | 23:53 |
| * MrChrisDruif is just a little admin/wiki-worker :P | 23:53 | |
| charlie-tca | heh, I started there in 2007 | 23:53 |
| * seidos is just a little writer | 23:53 | |
| charlie-tca | I started by just making a few spelling corrections on the wiki | 23:54 |
