[00:46] <philipballew> wy usb wireless adapter connects to the web when pluged into my laptop, but when i plug it into my desktop it shows no networks. anyone know?
[00:47] <philipballew> *my
[00:52] <Captainkrtek> philipballew: I can try to help
[00:53] <philipballew> go for it. if i acdently go offline its because my laptop is buggy but id be back on shortly after
[00:53] <Captainkrtek> heh no problem
[00:53] <Captainkrtek> plug it in
[00:53] <Captainkrtek> then go to System Settings > Hardware > Additional Drivers
[00:55] <philipballew> i figured because there are no propitery drivers on my laptop that might be irrelvent
[00:55] <Captainkrtek> might be for the card
[00:56] <philipballew> the card was in use on my laptop and runs fine from the same spot my desktop sits
[01:08] <philipballew> oh well. :)
[01:10] <philipballew> the only difference on my laptop and desktop is my laptop has 11.04 and desktop is 10,04.
[01:10] <UndiFineD> philipballew, did you update 10.04 with a newer kernel ?
[01:12] <Captainkrtek> hey UndiFineD
[01:13] <UndiFineD> the linux kernel contains all / most drivers for your hardware, upgrading that one might fix the issue
[01:16] <UndiFineD> Captainkrtek, I hope he caught my message
[01:17] <Captainkrtek> Yeah I hope he did too
[01:41] <hajour> goodnight all
[02:36] <ApOgEE> hi, greetings all...
[07:45] <Puck`> good morning everyone
[07:47] <nlsthzn> Puck`: Alo
[07:48] <Puck`> hi nlsthzn (:
[13:45] <tdn> since I installed 11.04 on my lenovo s10 netbook, my wifi is very flaky. I have installed the restricte STA driver, however, it does not work very well. It works for a while then net stops working. In 10.10 I used the other restricted driver: bcm43 or b43 or something. My NIC is: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY.   How do I fix this?
[13:58] <bioterror> solder another chipset, something like atheros or intel ;)
[14:02] <bioterror> I have a laptop HP 8440p with same chipset
[14:02] <bioterror> hardly connects :)
[14:03] <holstein> tdn: you should try the other driver
[14:04] <holstein> sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
[14:04] <tdn> holstein, how to do that? There is only one restricted driver available. I know there should be one called b43, but it is not there. How do I get it?
[14:04] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[14:04] <tdn> holstein, I already installed those packages. But how do I activate the driver?
[14:04] <tdn> holstein, I have tried following the instructions there, but it does not work.
[14:05] <holstein> tdn: i dont have that hardware, so i cant test for that specific task
[14:05] <bioterror> should I use ethernet? :D
[14:05] <holstein> but, i have suggested that before here, and it worked
[14:06] <holstein> you can also try a windows driver with ndiswrapper
[14:06] <tdn> holstein, it worked just fine in 10.10 but stopped working in 11.04. Appearently others experience the same: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10836043
[14:06] <holstein> sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
[14:06] <tdn> holstein, then what?
[14:06] <holstein> tdn: then, use a windows driver thats appropriate for your hardware
[14:07] <tdn> How do I get that?
[14:07] <holstein> depends
[14:08] <holstein> sometimes you have a driver CD supplied by the vendor. sometimes they are online
[14:08] <holstein> AFAIK, its a bug that keeps both the drivers from *not* showing up in natty
[14:09] <tdn> holstein, no cd. I have tried finding it on broadcom.com.
[14:09] <holstein> tdn: OK, so thats one place
[14:09] <tdn> holstein, ok, so it does not show up. But it should be able to select it anyway or?
[14:09] <holstein> you can flip the unit over, write down some #'s, and open up google
[14:10] <tdn> holstein, how can I trust something I download from a random web page?
[14:10] <holstein> tdn: there are 3 options, the driver you have tried already, the other driver in the repos, and the windows driver
[14:10] <holstein> tdn: ??
[14:10] <holstein> go the the vendor page
[14:10] <holstein> toshiba, dell
[14:10] <tdn> holstein, I did. ould not find the driver.
[14:10] <tdn> Oh.
[14:10] <tdn> holstein, is there a way to isntall the maverick b43 driver inside natty? From ubuntuforums it seems that it has worked for some people.
[14:11] <holstein> tdn: sure, you can search the repo online
[14:11] <tdn> Ok. And just DL the .deb and install with dpkg -i?
[14:11] <holstein> butg, you probaby wont know how to activate that either, right?
[14:12] <holstein> i mean, the packages sholud be similar, they just move the over to natty from before
[14:12] <tdn> Ok.
[14:12] <holstein> *they are probably identical actually
[14:12] <tdn> So I have installed the right driver now. But it does just not show up in the additional drivers dialog. Is that correct?
[14:12] <tdn> So isn
[14:13] <tdn> So isn't there a way to activate the driver without the GUI front end?
[14:13] <holstein> thats what i have understood
[14:13] <tdn> Ok
[14:13] <holstein> did you restart?
[14:13] <tdn> Yes.
[14:13] <tdn> Do you have a link to the bug report?
[14:13] <tdn> I could not find it.
[14:14] <holstein> tdn: i dont have that hardware, so i have not searched for bugs relating to it
[14:14] <holstein> and i need to run out for a bit... BBL
[14:54] <holstein> tdn: i would also consider installing and using the LTS version, lucid 10.04
[16:21] <raubvogel> I installed ubuntu desktop in a machine I wanted to setup as server. Is there an easy way to switch them or should I just reinstall it?
[16:22] <raubvogel> Main thing is I do not want the GUI stuff
[16:52] <Maratich> raubvogel: do you want fast start with text login only ?
[16:53] <raubvogel> Yeah
[16:53] <raubvogel> No point in having gui since machine will be in a rack
[16:54] <Maratich> ok, i think, will be helpful study this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_startup_process
[16:55] <Maratich> what you want - /etc/inittab - change run level
[16:55] <Maratich> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel and this
[16:56] <Maratich> for Ubuntu - upstart daemon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upstart
[16:58] <Maratich> http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/  - and this
[16:59] <Maratich> is this - what you want to know ?
[16:59] <raubvogel> Well, I would like to get rid of all X-windows-related packages
[17:01] <Maratich> i dont use ubuntu 11.04 - prefer 10.04 LTS
[17:01] <Maratich> in my distro - gdm manages all X sessions
[17:01] <Maratich> (gnome display manager)
[17:01] <raubvogel> I am using 10.04LTS right now; I am sorry if my problem description implied otherwise
[17:02] <Maratich> simple way - 1) reinstall 2) change runlevel in /etc/inittab
[17:03] <Maratich> or you can remove X
[17:03] <Maratich> from console - apt-get remove xorg
[17:04] <raubvogel> Would that remove X and all related packages (gdm and firefox and so on)?
[17:04] <Maratich> i dont like it but your comp - your rules
[17:04] <Maratich> this removes only service - X-server
[17:05] <Maratich> if you havent free space - reinstall
[17:05] <Maratich> but copy files from /etc/* if you made some changes in configuration
[17:08] <Maratich> and with "apt-get install elinks" - you can browse the web in text mode ))
[18:00] <kristian-guest> hi all, this is good ole kristian-aalborg
[18:00] <kristian-guest> I'm at a box I'm being told has wireless built in, but I can't see it anywhere
[18:13] <adam61> hi, does anyone know how to enable the integrated flash in chrome? it's supposed to be there automatically, but i've installed 64 bit and now that's all that appears in about:plugins. i haven't been able to get flash working yet and i've tried just about everything i can thing of. any help would be greatly appreciated!
[18:14] <bdfhjk> hi adam61
[18:14] <adam61> hi bdfhjk
[18:14] <bdfhjk> so You instaled 64bit chrome and You haven't flash ?
[18:15] <adam61> no, it's not working for me, but it wasn't before that either.. i've tried firefox and chromium too.. i'm using ubuntu 11.04 as my only os btw
[18:16] <bdfhjk> Do you changed any configure file?
[18:16] <bdfhjk> 'Did
[18:16] <adam61> i don't think so.. pretty sure i haven't. i reinstalled chrome too, but nothing changed
[18:17] <bdfhjk> plugin not working or is not visible?
[18:18] <bdfhjk> Did You notice any error messages?
[18:18] <adam61> it's not working and it's not visible. the only one i have according to about:plugins is the 64 bit one
[18:19] <adam61> no error messages, they just said to download an updated flashplayer, when i ran it with mine disabled
[18:19] <bdfhjk> Try that
[18:20] <bdfhjk> uninstall  flashplugin-installer
[18:20] <bdfhjk> then
[18:20] <bdfhjk> uninstall chrome
[18:20] <bdfhjk> install  flashplugin-installer
[18:20] <bdfhjk> and install chrome
[18:21] <bdfhjk> That can solve possible issue with broken instalation of  flashplugin-installer
[18:21] <bdfhjk> if that not work
[18:22] <adam61> ok thanks i'll give that a shot
[18:22] <bdfhjk> there may be a some kind of chrome bug
