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

[00:33] Juest: is it that your sound is shown as Dummy Output in Sound Preferences? [00:34] 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 [00:36] ok. then what? this will make the wireless card work?

[05:43] eiriksvin: if you can wire it up [05:43] and update the machine [05:43] that can help [05:43] ok, heres the next thing.... [05:44] i had a boot option it went [05:45] to a screen when the computer started that let me choose windows 7 or ubuntu... that was fine [05:45] grub [05:45] !grub [05:45] 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 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [05:46] 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] eiriksvin: run the updates like i suggested [05:47] if its still not working [05:47] let us know [05:48] but it happened after i updated ubuntu [05:48] so, you dont want to update? [05:48] you dont have to* [05:48] well sure, is it easy? [05:48] im proposing you might get an update to that kernel [05:51] ok, thats cool but can it be done via usb? [05:52] in theory you could [05:52] but you'd have to download the updates somehow [05:52] so, im going to say no [05:52] dern, ok... i guess im stick with this for a bit [05:52] yeah? [05:53] do it how you did it last time [05:53] yeah i got no cd [05:53] just plug a wire in [05:53] eiriksvin: a network cable [05:53] and update [05:53] no i got this comp from somone that had it on there but never used ubuntu [05:54] you said you did an update [05:54] and go that kernel [05:54] the newer kernel [05:54] yep, i did [05:54] that wont boot [05:54] just do that again [05:54] and update again [05:54] however you did it that time [05:54] update from this kernel? [05:55] im not srue [05:55] sure* [05:55] just take all the updates that are available [05:55] yeah cus i dont want to lose this too [05:55] lose what? [05:55] that kernel? [05:55] my ubuntu [05:56] just dont remove it [05:56] eiriksvin: updating is usually a good idea [05:56] oh just dont remove the older stuff button? [05:57] theres not a button like that [05:57] packages get replaced [05:57] but the older kernels will just stay there [05:59] ok well im gonna bring my computer back home and get on windows to do some studyin [05:59] i am pretty dumb about all this and i dont want to f thing up any worse [06:00] just keep your data backed up [06:00] yeah will do [06:28] ok, back to work... [06:29] im trying to get the win xp driver for Netgear Rangemax WPN111 going [06:30] the others recognise the device, but they dont let it work... and i cant figure out why [06:31] how do i get ubuntu to make sure theres nothing else going on with the device to not let it work? === nlsthzn is now known as nlsthzn-work === nlsthzn is now known as nlsthzn-work === mexalokeq is now known as tuxampol [13:19] anyone running 'wbar' dock? [13:20] Average_Guy, I am not sorry [13:23] can you recommend a launcher? awn is overkill [13:24] Average_Guy, well I am on the cairo dock team so I am a bit predjudiced :) [13:24] i been eyeballin that one:) [13:24] Average_Guy, cairo dock is probably the most complex in terms of configuration and the most reliable in my opinion [13:25] 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] version [13:25] working on it [13:25] hi coz_ [13:25] Average_Guy, make sure you go into synaptic package manager [13:25] Daniel0108, hey guy [13:25] Average_Guy, hit Search and type in cairo dock [13:25] Average_Guy, there will be several packages there [13:26] Average_Guy, just be sure you install all of the cairo dock packages not cairo (clock) :) [13:26] k [13:26] Average_Guy, do you know w hich video card you have there? [13:27] ati raidon [13:27] thats all i kno off the top [13:27] Average_Guy, ok I believe that should be fine with the opengl options [13:27] Average_Guy, after installation,, you should see the options of starting it under Applications/system tools [13:27] if on gnome [13:27] soo... I have a box with no cd, and I can't get it to boot from USB [13:27] Average_Guy, you want to try the opengl option first [13:28] kristian-aalborg, oooo are you sure the option to boot from usb is in the bios? [13:28] ok [13:28] I'm thinking of installing to an usb pen and then move it over... alternatively I might try to install over network [13:29] Average_Guy, there are not many docks available out there and the two main ones are awn and cairo dock [13:29] ooooooo purdy [13:29] Average_Guy, oh its running now? [13:29] got it up now :) [13:29] Average_Guy, there you go [13:30] Average_Guy, now right click the dock go to Cairo dock and then configuration [13:30] rather Configure [13:30] Average_Guy, the config dialog will open,, at the bottom left of that dialog is an "Advanced": button ,, press it [13:31] don't c it [13:31] Average_Guy, did the config window open? [13:31] yes [13:31] Average_Guy, ok hit printscreen to create a screenshot and upload to picpaste.com then give me the link here [13:32] or if you have a dropbox account [13:32] doesnt matter ,, I just need to see the config window [13:33] ah... I guess I could simply make a floppy with grub on it, then have an entry that took me to an iso [13:34] kristian-aalborg, mm I havent done that ,, h ope it works :) [13:36] Average_Guy, are you having issues with picpaste? [13:37] http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa257/Scarface-Backoff/Screenshot.png [13:37] oo [13:37] Average_Guy, open a terminal and type cairo-dock --version [13:37] k [13:38] 2.0.9-karmic1 [13:38] Average_Guy, ah you are on karmic [13:38] Average_Guy, is this a new install of ubuntu? [13:39] Average_Guy, in that same terminal lsb_release -a [13:39] is say Linux Mint 8 [13:40] ok [13:40] 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] Average_Guy, or move your panel to the top of the screen and leave the dock at the bottom [13:41] and I see you do not have composition on [13:41] compositing [13:41] i don't? [13:41] Average_Guy, let me check mint versions hold on [13:41] Average_Guy, the current Mint is mint 10 [13:42] Average_Guy, let me ask,,, is there a reason you went with linux Mint instead of Ubuntu? [13:43] Average_Guy, if you notice ,, you have a black rectangle around cairo dock.,.. yes? [13:43] maybe not ,, it could be your wallpaper [13:43] actually i have several versions of both distro [13:43] Average_Guy, which versions of ubuntu do you have? [13:43] yeah rectangle is there [13:44] 10.04 and 10.10 desktop and server [13:44] Average_Guy, ok and you dont have compiz running [13:44] Average_Guy, on 10.04 and 10.10 there will be different versions of cairo dock [13:45] Average_Guy, if you dont have compiz running on that mint install open a terminal and type gconf-editor [13:46] 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] Average_Guy, ok ,, well in mint lets get compositing running [13:46] Average_Guy, open gconf-editor [13:46] yes i have compiz [13:47] Average_Guy, oh! ok [13:47] Average_Guy, but it is not running? [13:47] it is [13:47] i believe [13:47] Average_Guy, mm are the windows wobbly? [13:48] no, but i can make them [13:48] Average_Guy, well open ccsm and make them wobbly just to test that it is indeed running [13:48] in the manager now [13:48] Average_Guy, ok enable Wobbly windows [13:48] dun [13:49] wobbly now [13:49] Average_Guy, ok are they wobbly now? [13:49] yup [13:49] oh ok [13:49] Average_Guy, then compositing is on [13:49] Average_Guy, that black rectangle may just be that themes' look [13:49] Average_Guy, on that particular version of cairo dock the "Advanced" button is not present [13:50] yeah, it is i think. just stands out on the background [13:50] Average_Guy, you can , as I said,, move the dock via the "Position" plugin in it's config [13:50] yeah i raised it an inch [13:51] Average_Guy, or set it to the top or sides [13:51] however you prefer it [13:51] trying to theme it now. i not really one of those ppl trying to make my puter look like a mac [13:51] Average_Guy, ok cool :) [13:51] I appreciate your help [13:52] really just the difficulty changing the position it exactly y i deleted awn [13:52] 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] sweet [14:04] When shutting down Ubuntu (10.04.2 LTS Desktop) warns always that an "unknown" application is active. How can I troubleshoot this? [14:22] sudo apt-get purge unknown (kidding)... I have no idea :/ [15:41] hello [15:42] i just installed ubuntu onto a virtual box [15:42] how do i start learning it? [15:54] japtol: maybe pick a specific task [15:54] and go for it [15:56] hmm [15:56] im looking for a small project to work on [15:56] in the ubuntuforums [15:56] holstein: do you know about gazelle? [15:59] im not familiar japtol [15:59] http://www.turnkeylinux.org/ [15:59] these guys make nice web appliances [16:00] that work great live [16:00] what r these for? [16:00] can i learn ubunto with them? [16:00] im not sure what you are trying to learn [16:00] i want to learn ubuntu [16:01] but im suggesting that you can learn about certain server elements [16:01] so i can learn how to install gazelle onto my VPS [16:01] that are generic to any platform [16:01] can i learn about them in ubuntu on my virtual box [16:01] http://www.filesharenews.com/2010/05/26/install-gazelle-debianubuntu/ [16:02] japtol: you are interested in file sharing? [16:03] yes [16:03] thats what i want to install [16:03] in what capacity? [16:03] right now [16:04] im just interested in learning how to install it [16:04] its easy to set up a torrent server [16:04] havent thought about the torrents yet [16:04] or capacity [16:04] japtol: that link i gave seems to talk about installing gazelle [16:04] im reading it [16:05] so [16:05] i got a VPS [16:05] right [16:05] but im having trouble with the installation steps [16:05] i don't know how to execute some of them [16:06] this is the installation guide im using [16:06] http://what.cd/gazelle/wiki.php?action=article&id=4 [16:06] u might get a 404 [16:06] u'll have to register to view it :/ [16:07] maybe you'd feel more comfortable installing something from the default repositories [16:08] default repositories? like what? [16:09] im using putty [16:09] to log into my root [16:09] japtol: like some other software with that functionality [16:09] for my VPS [16:09] ah.. [16:09] something easier to deal with [16:09] what is the goal? [16:10] you can upload and download files via SSH or SFTP [16:16] yes [16:16] im using putty [16:16] to install the gazelle [16:16] my goal is to set up a site like what.cd [16:16] just as an experiment [16:16] i want to make a private website [16:16] putty is just a way for you to connect [16:16] yep im using putty to ssh [16:17] there are ways to do that with content management systems right? [16:18] maybe that would be easier, and give more funcionality as well [16:19] maybe something like http://www.fbloggs.com/2009/06/11/how-to-make-content-private-in-drupal/ [16:24] ok [16:24] im not sure [16:24] ill look into it [16:24] japtol: im not a web guy [16:24] but drupal is huge [16:25] drupal joomla and wordpress are well known [16:25] and well supported [16:25] i c [16:25] ive set up test cases of each [16:25] well [16:25] this is the first mention of gazelle [16:25] does that help me install gazelle? [16:25] and by searching around [16:25] its seems more obscure [16:25] but, do-able [16:26] japtol: im suggesting one of those with private content as an alternative to gazelle [16:26] if the goal is to install gazelle [16:26] you'll probably have to contanct someone more envolved in that project [16:26] but, if you want to host private content [16:26] on a webserver [16:27] there are alternatives [16:27] lots of them* [16:27] alright [16:27] thx [17:01] xawtv problem: tuner seems to run free. Some moments I hear sound from a tv channel "passing by" but no video. Was working before. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Desktop [19:09] hi [19:09] my keyboard does not have ^ character [19:09] is there a way to change some settings to get in ob my keyboard === Hellow is now known as collinp === mexalokeq is now known as tuxampol [19:33] I find I get the best help here [19:33] anyone around? [19:34] * holstein is moderately available [19:35] * nlsthzn waves but knows nothing so just lurks [19:35] ahaha you again [19:35] 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 [19:37] :( [19:39] attackulz: its not a hardware problem? [19:40] more then likely not. Its less then a year old [19:40] and I treat my computer well [19:40] lol [19:40] like that matters [19:40] its a computer ;) [19:40] and considering last time i oppened up the keyboard menu and it kicked back on tells me its probably not [19:41] that supports the software problem theory [19:41] but, does not confirm it [19:41] yeah [19:41] attackulz: thats what i use live CD's for [19:41] if you boot up into your OS [19:41] so pretty much [19:41] if any hardware is fucking up [19:41] and the numbers dont work [19:41] i run the live cd [19:41] and they do with a live CD [19:42] then, you can assume its something with your install [19:42] same ol thing [19:42] attackulz: so, its broken with a live CD too? [19:42] no i mean same thing as i had to try with my last problem [19:42] haha [19:42] attackulz: is there a numlock light? [19:43] yeah. I wish that were the problem [19:43] anyone knows how to get ^ character from keyboard if there is no key with this? [19:44] its not above the 6... [19:44] virgo: long shot... try openoffice writer... insert character... copy and paste from there? [19:45] haha how do you think i did write this character to this chat [19:46] copy-paste [19:46] thats not the solution i am looking for but yeah, it may be the best [19:47] virgo: whats above 6 ? [19:47] 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] & [19:47] attackulz: is there a numlock light? [19:47] yeah there is [19:47] and its not off [19:47] attackulz: so the light comes on [19:48] and it doesnt work? [19:48] does the light do anything? [19:48] laptop [19:48]
