[00:49] <sharedcomp> hello everyone
[00:50] <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?
[00:55] <sharedcomp> can anyone see me?
[01:03] <sisco311> hi, sharedcomp. what's the problem? BTW,  the Big Brother is watching you ;)
[01:16] <sharedcomp> hi!
[01:17] <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
[01:19] <sharedcomp> haha do you really think big brother is watching the ubuntu beginners chat?
[01:25] <sisco311> shadeslayer,  do you know the make and model of the device?
[01:25] <sisco311> oh, and what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[06:40] <bkerensa> tenach: Hi
[06:45] <tenach> Allo bkerensa
[06:45] <bkerensa> tenach: I saw you used to be on PNW :D
[06:48] <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
[06:49] <tenach> Eh, more like central-ish west? Bout half an hour below Seattle.
[06:50] <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
[06:51] <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
[06:52] <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
[06:53] <philipballew> people drive from there to here for school straight
[06:53] <philipballew> I drove 10 hours here from sac this week
[06:54] <philipballew> whatt you doin for your jam bkerensa ?
[06:55] <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
[06:56] <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?
[06:57] <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
[06:58] <bkerensa> I think we have about 25+ people coming as of now hopefully 30 by end of week :D
[06:59] <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
[07:00] <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
[07:01] <philipballew> the loco has been fading bkerensa ?
[07:02] <mikd> I can't  get the Workspace Switcher to work in the lancher
[07:03] <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?
[07:04] <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
[07:05] <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.
[07:06] <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
[07:07] <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
[07:08] <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]  * philipballew will be sleeping in the lax airport for scale

[08:44] <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
[08:45] <x080> is there any apt-get command to install virtualBox
[08:46] <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

[11:19] <kristjan> Hi, could anyone help me?
[11:20] <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?
[11:21] <bioterror> restart puleseaudio
[11:21] <bioterror> pulseaudio
[11:22] <bioterror> was it in terminal: pulseaudio -k
[11:22] <bioterror> does not require sudo or root permissions
[11:23] <Kentrel> yeah, I did something similar and it worked
[13:33] <s-fox> Hello.
[17:27] <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.
[17:28] <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
[17:29] <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
[17:30] <clarkthehardy910> but my mic and webcam are not being detected by gmail anymore...do I need to reinstall the pluggin or something?
[17:31] <bioterror> does both of them work with cheese?
[17:32] <clarkthehardy910> yes, they both work in Cheese
[17:32] <clarkthehardy910> just a little slower
[17:33] <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
[17:37] <clarkthehardy910> but usually by the second time it works again
[18:01] <bioterror> I cant help with that
[18:01] <bioterror> I've never owned a webcam
[18:02] <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?
[18:03] <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
[18:04] <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
[18:05] <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
[18:09] <bioterror> PEDORO
[18:09] <bioterror> who
[18:09] <bioterror> wrong window :D
[18:10] <pedro3005> i know you love me so
[18:10] <bioterror> I do
[18:12] <IAmNotThatGuy> lol
[18:15] <clarkthehardy910> bioterror: im getting a command not found for add-apt-repository:
[18:17] <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
[18:18] <clarkthehardy910> in the system section
[18:18] <clarkthehardy910> gui
[18:22] <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
[18:23] <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
[18:24] <philipballew> no problem
[18:26] <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!
[18:27] <philipballew> no problem :)
[18:27] <bioterror> hope you share the same version
[18:28] <philipballew> bioterror, i was gonna check that :)
[18:28] <bioterror> lsb_release -rcd
[18:32] <clarkthehardy910> why do you suppose the gui run rooted will not let me add the a new source?
[18:33] <clarkthehardy910> I can click the +add but after I paste in the APT line, the add button remains grayed out
[18:34] <clarkthehardy910> bioterror: do you know what Im referring to?
[18:35] <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
[18:36] <philipballew> sudo apt-add-repository or however you spell it
[18:37] <clarkthehardy910> yeah, terminal doesnt recognize that command
[18:38] <clarkthehardy910> this is a dell funkified version
[18:38] <philipballew> just re-install?
[18:39] <philipballew> you have a good conection?
[18:40] <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
[18:41] <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
[18:49] <philipballew> so i want to set up a vpn server. how hard is that?
