| sharedcomp | hello everyone | 00:49 |
|---|---|---|
| sharedcomp | i'm having an issue with my wireless adapter | 00:50 |
| sharedcomp | i just installed Ubuntu for the first time ever, does anyone think they can help me? | 00:50 |
| sharedcomp | can anyone see me? | 00:55 |
| sisco311 | hi, sharedcomp. what's the problem? BTW, the Big Brother is watching you ;) | 01:03 |
| sharedcomp | hi! | 01:16 |
| sharedcomp | i'm having trouble with my wireless | 01:17 |
| sharedcomp | it won't connect, or even find my wireless network. i'm currently going through the forums trying to find an answer | 01:17 |
| sharedcomp | it seems to be an issue with the driver. i have one installed, but it does not seem to be working properly with my adapter | 01:17 |
| sharedcomp | haha do you really think big brother is watching the ubuntu beginners chat? | 01:19 |
| sisco311 | shadeslayer, do you know the make and model of the device? | 01:25 |
| sisco311 | oh, and what version of Ubuntu are you using? | 01:25 |
| bkerensa | tenach: Hi | 06:40 |
| tenach | Allo bkerensa | 06:45 |
| bkerensa | tenach: I saw you used to be on PNW :D | 06:45 |
| tenach | bkerensa: on PNW? | 06:48 |
| tenach | I'm still living in the PNW. ;) | 06:48 |
| bkerensa | WA thought right? | 06:48 |
| tenach | bkerensa: Yeah, WA state. :) | 06:48 |
| bkerensa | North, South or Central? | 06:48 |
| bkerensa | :D | 06:48 |
| tenach | Eh, more like central-ish west? Bout half an hour below Seattle. | 06:49 |
| bkerensa | oh ok :) if you were closer to PDX I was gonna say come to global jam we have probably the biggest jam on the west coast planned :D | 06:50 |
| tenach | bkerensa: PDX as in Portland? | 06:50 |
| bkerensa | tenach: Yeah | 06:50 |
| tenach | Ah, yeah... that's a five hour drive. | 06:51 |
| tenach | And I haven't got a vehicle. | 06:51 |
| bkerensa | me either :D | 06:51 |
| tenach | bkerensa: I'd love to chat with you later; heading to bed. I should have gone two hours ago... | 06:52 |
| tenach | That's what I get for playing games, I suppose, haha. | 06:52 |
| bkerensa | kk | 06:52 |
| philipballew | if i wantn't having a jam here id come to portland! | 06:52 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: San Diego to PDX... Wow thats a trip even I wouldnt dare do :P | 06:52 |
| philipballew | people drive from there to here for school straight | 06:53 |
| philipballew | I drove 10 hours here from sac this week | 06:53 |
| philipballew | whatt you doin for your jam bkerensa ? | 06:54 |
| bkerensa | philipballew we will be doing doc, bugs, testing and upgrades and additionally will have a social aspect we have food & beverage catered and then PuppetLabs is lending us their swanky corporate offices and then a few other companies donate a bit of stuff for giveaways :D | 06:55 |
| bkerensa | Took about two weeks to setup | 06:56 |
| bkerensa | =o lots of calls, e-mails etc | 06:56 |
| philipballew | Nice! how many total man hours you think? | 06:56 |
| bkerensa | Total I would say 3-4 solid | 06:57 |
| bkerensa | and this Friday I still have to finalize the logistics and select food stuffs to be eaten | 06:57 |
| bkerensa | I think we have about 25+ people coming as of now hopefully 30 by end of week :D | 06:58 |
| bkerensa | The reason I put so much effort is because I'm hoping this kickstarts our loco back to life... It has been sputtering for some time :P | 06:59 |
| philipballew | oh nice. yeah. ours is at a local cafe. I think that the place is gonna be good. were gonna have hopefully like 4-5 people. sometimes you have rendom people show up | 07:00 |
| philipballew | i had a ubuntu hour once where 15 people came | 07:00 |
| philipballew | the next month nobody | 07:00 |
| philipballew | all depends on what people are up to | 07:00 |
| philipballew | the loco has been fading bkerensa ? | 07:01 |
| mikd | I can't get the Workspace Switcher to work in the lancher | 07:02 |
| bkerensa | Well yeah... See I never was involved in the loco until like the last release party and only like 5 people showed up and only three of us were actual team members... But since OSCON I took lead role and now IRC is active, we have meetings and are getting organized better | 07:03 |
| bkerensa | apparently awhile back PNW Loco caused some sort of fallout when it got disbanded | 07:03 |
| bkerensa | I dont know the whole story I just know WA, OR, ID used to be one loco or something =o | 07:03 |
| philipballew | you moved there or something? | 07:03 |
| philipballew | mikd, id see if the keybord controls work ctrl alt and your arrow keys | 07:04 |
| bkerensa | Well yeah about four years ago but I have been using ubuntu for over three years I just kinda helped out in #ubuntu and on forums and also I volunteered at FreeGeek which distributes Ubuntu computers for free | 07:04 |
| bkerensa | I really didnt know much about loco's until 5-6 months ago | 07:04 |
| bkerensa | but even then I guess the loco has been asleep due to some rifts and the old leadership parting ways and such | 07:05 |
| philipballew | i joined the loco last october when i came to a ubuntu hour. i stated getting in on irc stuff and then i help on here, and that stuff works. | 07:05 |
| bkerensa | cool | 07:06 |
| mikd | crtl alt and the arrow keys work | 07:06 |
| philipballew | its been less then a year and im likin it. you were at oscon. I wanted to go. must have been nice | 07:06 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: It was very fun a lot of work but still a excellent experience and meeting Jono and MarkDude was fun too | 07:07 |
| philipballew | mikd, what happenswhen you press the button on the launcher? | 07:07 |
| philipballew | bkerensa, you gonna come to scale? | 07:07 |
| mikd | nothing | 07:07 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: I wish I can't afford the travel and lodging costs :P plus my fiancee wouldnt like me being gone for that long :/ anyways I gotta hop to bed ttyl! | 07:08 |
| philipballew | alright! ttyl | 07:08 |

| x080 | hi | 08:44 |
| x080 | how can i install vmware on ubuntu | 08:44 |
| bioterror | !vmware | 08:44 |
| ubot2` | VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 08:44 |
| x080 | is there any apt-get command to install virtualBox | 08:45 |
| bioterror | !virtualbox | x080 | 08:46 |
| ubot2` | x080: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 08:46 |
| x080 | thanks ubot2 & bioterror | 08:46 |

| kristjan | Hi, could anyone help me? | 11:19 |
| Kentrel | Hi, there's something suddenly wrong with my sound. Everything comes out with a "buzz"... Is there a way to fix this without logging out or rebooting? | 11:20 |
| bioterror | restart puleseaudio | 11:21 |
| bioterror | pulseaudio | 11:21 |
| bioterror | was it in terminal: pulseaudio -k | 11:22 |
| bioterror | does not require sudo or root permissions | 11:22 |
| Kentrel | yeah, I did something similar and it worked | 11:23 |
| s-fox | Hello. | 13:33 |
| clarkthehardy910 | can someone help me get my webcam and mic to work in gmail again? I don't know what's wrong but the proper settings aren't being recognized and I don't know where to start. | 17:27 |
| clarkthehardy910 | I think there might be something wrong with my Java and flash in firefox I have 3.0 and my Chrome is version 9.0.597.98 | 17:28 |
| clarkthehardy910 | im using dell mini that runs hardy heron | 17:28 |
| clarkthehardy910 | I can record sound in sound recorder, and cheese also works, but its a little slower than it used to be (about two months ago it was much faster) | 17:29 |
| clarkthehardy910 | skype also works fine | 17:29 |
| clarkthehardy910 | but my mic and webcam are not being detected by gmail anymore...do I need to reinstall the pluggin or something? | 17:30 |
| bioterror | does both of them work with cheese? | 17:31 |
| clarkthehardy910 | yes, they both work in Cheese | 17:32 |
| clarkthehardy910 | just a little slower | 17:32 |
| clarkthehardy910 | than they used to be | 17:33 |
| clarkthehardy910 | and sometimes cheese fails to load | 17:33 |
| clarkthehardy910 | it just suddenly disappears from the bottom panel while loading | 17:33 |
| clarkthehardy910 | but usually by the second time it works again | 17:37 |
| bioterror | I cant help with that | 18:01 |
| bioterror | I've never owned a webcam | 18:01 |
| clarkthehardy910 | ok, thanks for the answer though I do appreciate it | 18:02 |
| clarkthehardy910 | how about fixing Java in firefox? | 18:02 |
| clarkthehardy910 | is it easy? | 18:02 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 18:03 |
| bioterror | you want to change opensource java to oracles closed? | 18:03 |
| clarkthehardy910 | its not loading properly most of the time | 18:03 |
| bioterror | yes | 18:03 |
| clarkthehardy910 | what does that involve and what are the risks? | 18:03 |
| clarkthehardy910 | I've been using the download from sun systems | 18:03 |
| clarkthehardy910 | i believe | 18:03 |
| bioterror | dont download from oracle/sun microsystem | 18:04 |
| clarkthehardy910 | ok, whats the right thing to do? | 18:04 |
| clarkthehardy910 | do I have to reinstall firefox or do some crazy trouble shooting that takes more than 20 minutes? | 18:04 |
| clarkthehardy910 | because thats all ive got right now | 18:04 |
| bioterror | enable partner repository, if you have not done it | 18:05 |
| bioterror | sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" | 18:05 |
| bioterror | update package database | 18:05 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get update | 18:05 |
| bioterror | and then install | 18:05 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get install sun-java6-{jre,bin,plugin,fonts} | 18:05 |
| bioterror | and remove the floss stuff: | 18:05 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get purge openjdk-6-{jre,jre-lib,jre-headless} icedtea{-6-jre-cacao,6-plugin} | 18:05 |
| clarkthehardy910 | how do I check if ive got that repo added? | 18:05 |
| bioterror | clarkthehardy910, from synaptic for example | 18:05 |
| bioterror | PEDORO | 18:09 |
| bioterror | who | 18:09 |
| bioterror | wrong window :D | 18:09 |
| pedro3005 | i know you love me so | 18:10 |
| bioterror | I do | 18:10 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | lol | 18:12 |
| clarkthehardy910 | bioterror: im getting a command not found for add-apt-repository: | 18:15 |
| clarkthehardy910 | I think i've heard that this dell mini 9 had a version of ubuntu installed to it, that it can only get updates from certain sources | 18:17 |
| clarkthehardy910 | but Im going to try to add it via software sources | 18:17 |
| clarkthehardy910 | in the system section | 18:18 |
| clarkthehardy910 | gui | 18:18 |
| philipballew | clarkthehardy910, just boot up with a live cd and copy all those sources to a text file then put them in the sources.list | 18:22 |
| clarkthehardy910 | dont have a live usb available right now, I guess I'll do it when I have more time, thanks philip | 18:23 |
| philipballew | well i can send you my sources file | 18:23 |
| philipballew | no problem | 18:24 |
| clarkthehardy910 | hmmm, thanks for your help, but it would still need a live cd or usb, and this is way too late for me already, I will give it a try in the morning (its 2:26 am here) | 18:26 |
| clarkthehardy910 | philipballew: bioterror: thanks so much! | 18:26 |
| philipballew | no problem :) | 18:27 |
| bioterror | hope you share the same version | 18:27 |
| philipballew | bioterror, i was gonna check that :) | 18:28 |
| bioterror | lsb_release -rcd | 18:28 |
| clarkthehardy910 | why do you suppose the gui run rooted will not let me add the a new source? | 18:32 |
| clarkthehardy910 | I can click the +add but after I paste in the APT line, the add button remains grayed out | 18:33 |
| clarkthehardy910 | bioterror: do you know what Im referring to? | 18:34 |
| clarkthehardy910 | I ran this command gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk which loaded it, but it still would not let me add the source | 18:35 |
| clarkthehardy910 | it used to let me add them | 18:35 |
| philipballew | sudo apt-add-repository or however you spell it | 18:36 |
| clarkthehardy910 | yeah, terminal doesnt recognize that command | 18:37 |
| clarkthehardy910 | this is a dell funkified version | 18:38 |
| philipballew | just re-install? | 18:38 |
| philipballew | you have a good conection? | 18:39 |
| clarkthehardy910 | hahaha, yeah, i.ve been putting it off for far too long | 18:40 |
| clarkthehardy910 | Im not a computer wiz, just a geek that pretends to know what he's doing most of the time | 18:40 |
| philipballew | clarkthehardy910, its pretty easy. trust me | 18:41 |
| philipballew | your laptop should install just fine as all the hardware is gonna work just fine | 18:41 |
| philipballew | so i want to set up a vpn server. how hard is that? | 18:49 |
