| stlsaint | bodhizazen: welcome | 04:59 |
| bodhizazen | 'lo stlsaint | 05:00 |
| bodhizazen | http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/a-5-minute-guide-to-fluxbox/ | 05:00 |
| bodhizazen | how are you these days ? | 05:00 |
| bodhizazen | stlsaint, I have been playing with KVM and spice, it is very nice | 05:02 |
| bodhizazen | spice is basically a VNC server, but it is very fast and does copy-paste from guest to host as well as sound | 05:03 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: great time i could use a link like that | 05:04 |
| stlsaint | fluxbox | 05:04 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: been getting more and more into packaging | 05:05 |
| bodhizazen | Ah packaging =) | 05:05 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: yep yep | 05:05 |
| stlsaint | can be fun (sometimes) | 05:05 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: been testing out parallels virtual machine manager instead of vbox too, seems nice, zenix runs flawlessly in it | 05:06 |
| bodhizazen | packaging is fun with small / straight forward packages, but sometimes frustrating with large complex packages | 05:06 |
| bodhizazen | good to hear you have not had a problem with Zenix, nice little OS =) | 05:07 |
| bodhizazen | How do you like parallels ? | 05:07 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: i enjoy it, its still in beta testing stage so a few bugs but some nice options and the typical config for a vm is very nice | 05:08 |
| bodhizazen | I have heard nice things about it | 05:09 |
| stlsaint | yep pretty niffty | 05:10 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: my lxc plans have been halted due to inability to bridge wireless card | 05:11 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: a lxc dev said it was possible and even had a blog posting on it but i never got it working | 05:11 |
| bodhizazen | bridging LXC guests ? | 05:12 |
| stlsaint | im actually able to run kvm on my laptop, (unless same requirement for networking as lxc of bridge wireless card)? | 05:12 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: bridging network to containers yes, i was unable to get my wireless card to bridge | 05:12 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: had a rude run in with fedora 15 as well | 05:13 |
| bodhizazen | stlsaint, http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/bridge-wireless-cards/ | 05:13 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: spent two days updating/downlading packages thinking i could create a template in parallels of my fedora vm just to realize that yum clears the cache on a timer | 05:13 |
| bodhizazen | fedora 15 has more then it's share of bugs | 05:13 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: oh nice link, if that works for me i am golden!!!!! | 05:14 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: my biggest problem is that im on a WAN, i dont control the router nor ip address given to me | 05:15 |
| bodhizazen | stlsaint, that link on wireless should work with lxc guests, watch the route command | 05:15 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: yea fedora machine borked on me and when i tried to recover the rpms i seen that they had all been dumped, even a upstream redhat dev said that was stupid for fedora to do that | 05:16 |
| bodhizazen | On your guests, assign them a static ip | 05:16 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: oh ok | 05:18 |
| bodhizazen | http://blogs.nature.com/ud725242a/lolcats.jpg | 05:18 |
| bodhizazen | stlsaint, typically if you assign your guests a high ip it will work, use something like 192.168.0.200 | 05:19 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: lol, there are about 15,000 personnel on my entire post | 05:23 |
| bodhizazen | Well, then use 192.168.0.15001 | 05:24 |
| bodhizazen | =) | 05:24 |
| stlsaint | lol annnddd roger | 05:24 |
| bodhizazen | night stlsaint , good luck w/ your wireless | 05:35 |
| AmberJ | Hello | 13:11 |
| === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie | ||
| stlsaint | AmberJ: hello | 13:27 |
| pmatulis | is there a k/b shortcut for shutting down? | 13:27 |
| KM0201 | hmm, dunno | 13:28 |
| bioterror | sudo halt | 13:29 |
| bioterror | :D | 13:29 |
| KM0201 | you coul make an executable i guess, that would shut you down if you click it. | 13:29 |
| bioterror | with policykit that should be possible | 13:29 |
| bioterror | so if you dig that command from the shutdown buttons menu | 13:30 |
| bioterror | you can bind it to openbox :D | 13:30 |
| pmatulis | KM0201: how do you go from k/b shortcut to clicking? | 13:34 |
| KM0201 | pmatulis: i was saying i didn't know how to make a kb shortcut, but had a pretty good idea how to make an executable to click. | 13:35 |
| pmatulis | bioterror: i don't want to use my mouse at all, i try to avoid it as much as possible. it disgusts me | 13:36 |
| bioterror | haha | 13:36 |
| pmatulis | bioterror: sorry, that was for KM0201 | 13:36 |
| bioterror | pmatulis, dwm, ion, wmfs, what ever | 13:36 |
| bioterror | choose one :D | 13:36 |
| AmberJ | pmatulis, try xbindkeys. | 13:37 |
| AmberJ | I used it once to bind my keyboard multimedia keys to their intended functions in dwm....but xbindkeys can be used to bind any keyboard shortcut to any command.. | 13:38 |
| pmatulis | AmberJ: interesting. i'm using kupfer, i might be able to shimmy it to powerdown my 'puter | 13:40 |

| CodyThibault | Hi. | 20:12 |
| CodyThibault | Can anyone here help with a wireless question? | 20:12 |
| CodyThibault | Can't figure out my BSSID or my cloned mac address. | 20:12 |
| CodyThibault | Or how to connect to the wireless once I add it... =/ | 20:13 |
| KM0201 | CodyThibault: are you not seeing networks in your area?.. your wireless device may not be working under linux | 20:17 |
| CodyThibault | I don't see anything, | 20:17 |
| CodyThibault | but my other laptop (ubuntu) is working fine. | 20:18 |
| KM0201 | down beside the Clock... you should see an applet.. (beside the sound icon)... | 20:18 |
| KM0201 | left click it, do you see any wireless networks? | 20:18 |
| KM0201 | CodyThibault: ? | 20:22 |
| CodyThibault | Sorry, no. | 20:22 |
| CodyThibault | I see the icon, click.... Nada. My wired connection is there, but no wireless. | 20:22 |
| CodyThibault | I tried opening package manager, and searching for bw43cutter, like one article advised, but found no results. | 20:23 |
| KM0201 | ok, ... probably thought of this i imagine.. but is your wireless broadcasting, and if it's not, are there usually networks in your area that are broadcasting | 20:23 |
| KM0201 | which broadcom do you have? | 20:23 |
| CodyThibault | And I'm not sure if it's different, but the only articles I can really fine are for Ubuntu, not Lubuntu. | 20:23 |
| KM0201 | it's not different | 20:23 |
| KM0201 | which broadcom wireless device do you have? | 20:24 |
| CodyThibault | My wireless is broadcasting fine, the 2 other laptops in the house are running fine. | 20:24 |
| CodyThibault | broadcom? I am SO new to this it isn't even funny. >.< I have a Westell 7500 | 20:24 |
| KM0201 | ok... some people don't broadcast their ESSID, so if it's not broadcasting, that woudl explain why you can't see it. | 20:24 |
| CodyThibault | My modem, I mean... | 20:24 |
| KM0201 | well then why are you looking at installing broadcom drivers... | 20:24 |
| CodyThibault | *confused... lost* | 20:25 |
| KM0201 | *b43cutter is for broadcom devices.. | 20:25 |
| KM0201 | do this.. open a terminal | 20:25 |
| CodyThibault | mmhmm? | 20:25 |
| KM0201 | hang on. | 20:25 |
| CodyThibault | TYT. and thank you! | 20:26 |
| KM0201 | that westell, is that one of those cable/router combo things, and you're hooked to it via USB? | 20:26 |
| CodyThibault | It's a wireless modem, not router, DSL, and hooked via ethernet. | 20:26 |
| KM0201 | ok. | 20:26 |
| CodyThibault | It's bamn-drand new. | 20:26 |
| KM0201 | and you're trying to use the internal wireless device on your computer, right? | 20:26 |
| KM0201 | i don't care about the router... | 20:27 |
| CodyThibault | Mmhmm. *nod* | 20:27 |
| KM0201 | ok | 20:27 |
| KM0201 | in a terminal, type "lspci" no quotes, and hit enter.. it's gonna spit out a ton of stuff... don't paste it all here... find your wireless device, and copy/paste it here | 20:27 |
| CodyThibault | How do I tell which one is my wireless device? >_< | 20:28 |
| KM0201 | read the line, it will say something like this... 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) | 20:29 |
| KM0201 | although maybe a different device | 20:29 |
| CodyThibault | 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) | 20:29 |
| CodyThibault | 08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8132 Fast Ethernet (rev c0) | 20:29 |
| CodyThibault | That's the closest thing I can find to that.... >_< | 20:29 |
| KM0201 | that looks like your wired controller | 20:29 |
| KM0201 | the broadcom... it's an lp-phy... to my knowledge, you'll have no luck getting that to work w/ Ubuntu | 20:30 |
| CodyThibault | It worked fine previous to Lubuntu install. | 20:30 |
| KM0201 | i've saw some walkthroughs getting them to work, but have never had any success | 20:30 |
| CodyThibault | Worked out of the box with Ubuntu. | 20:30 |
| KM0201 | w/ Ubuntu? | 20:30 |
| KM0201 | hmm, surprising.. hang out in the ubuntu channel, there's always complaints about that device. | 20:30 |
| CodyThibault | That's why I can't figure it out; never had to do anything with my last distro. | 20:31 |
| KM0201 | what was your last distro. | 20:31 |
| CodyThibault | Ubuntu 11.04 | 20:31 |
| CodyThibault | Switching to Lubuntu because Ubuntu was too large... was running very slow and PC was overheating. | 20:31 |
| KM0201 | is th emachine wired to the internet right now? | 20:31 |
| CodyThibault | Yes. | 20:32 |
| KM0201 | ok, try this. | 20:32 |
| CodyThibault | I'm talking to you on it. :P It'd have to be what with no wireless. Lol. | 20:32 |
| KM0201 | open synaptic package manager | 20:32 |
| KM0201 | i thought you might be on a different machine | 20:32 |
| CodyThibault | Haha. :) | 20:32 |
| CodyThibault | Opened. | 20:32 |
| KM0201 | do a search for "b43" | 20:32 |
| CodyThibault | And again, thank you SO much for you help. My college life depends on it. | 20:32 |
| KM0201 | lol | 20:32 |
| KM0201 | well, hiopefully you still have windows to fall back on. | 20:33 |
| CodyThibault | *shakes head* | 20:33 |
| KM0201 | did you get the results for b43? | 20:33 |
| CodyThibault | but I can use Ubuntu. | 20:33 |
| CodyThibault | yes. | 20:33 |
| KM0201 | ok | 20:33 |
| CodyThibault | Got 4 results. | 20:33 |
| KM0201 | you should see one called "firmare-b43-lpphy-installer" | 20:33 |
| CodyThibault | Mmhmm. | 20:34 |
| KM0201 | let it install | 20:34 |
| CodyThibault | It says mark for isntallation, | 20:34 |
| CodyThibault | not actually install... | 20:34 |
| KM0201 | ok | 20:35 |
| KM0201 | mark for installation | 20:35 |
| KM0201 | then it will ask you to mark some dependencies most likely | 20:35 |
| KM0201 | click mark | 20:35 |
| KM0201 | then clcik apply at the top | 20:35 |
| CodyThibault | Installing. | 20:36 |
| KM0201 | ok | 20:36 |
| KM0201 | !bug 651010 | 20:36 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 651010 in b43-fwcutter (Ubuntu) "package firmware-b43-installer 4.150.10.5-4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/651010 | 20:36 |
| KM0201 | that's the bug that's causing your problem, in case your interested | 20:36 |
| CodyThibault | *gets flyswatter....* | 20:37 |
| CodyThibault | Restricted drivers available in top right... | 20:37 |
| KM0201 | ok | 20:37 |
| KM0201 | click that | 20:37 |
| KM0201 | and i think it's gonna ask you to enable the b43 driver | 20:37 |
| KM0201 | right? | 20:38 |
| KM0201 | CodyThibault: did you get it to work? | 20:42 |
| KM0201 | .. | 20:42 |
| KM0201 | that douche better come back and say whether it worked or not. | 20:43 |
| bioterror | silverarrow, got your aeropress? | 21:40 |
| LubuntuPowered | hey guysszzsz | 22:13 |
| LubuntuPowered | my internet on lubuntu seems to be limited, i have 17mbps on speedtest with all my other computers (wired & wireless) but with this one (wired) i am only getting 3-4mbps on speed tests | 22:15 |
| LubuntuPowered | ?:[ | 22:15 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 22:16 |
| LubuntuPowered | but at least it | 22:17 |
| LubuntuPowered | it's working now | 22:17 |
| * LubuntuPowered lubuntuinternet | 22:17 | |
| LubuntuPowered | ;] | 22:17 |
| phillw | most odd, are you on wired or wireless on that system? | 22:17 |
| LubuntuPowered | but it would be nicer to have full speed | 22:17 |
| LubuntuPowered | wired | 22:17 |
| phillw | the drivers etc are in the kernel, lubuntu has no control over them. I am puzzled as to why you would ave an issue with lubuntu that is not in the rest of the family. | 22:18 |
| LubuntuPowered | i seem to be having all the weird problems that no one else have heard of | 22:19 |
| KM0201 | are you sure your network isn't just currently having problems? | 22:21 |
| KM0201 | cuzs htat really doesn't make much sense to me | 22:21 |
| LubuntuPowered | well my last problem didn't make much sense either | 22:24 |
| LubuntuPowered | the solution to it was even weirder | 22:24 |
