| ApOgEE | hi sangelion | 10:03 |
| ApOgEE | is it working? | 10:03 |
| sangelion | hi apogee.. | 10:03 |
| sangelion | this is our local irc or not? | 10:04 |
| ApOgEE | nope... this is global | 10:04 |
| ApOgEE | for local support head to #ubuntu-my | 10:04 |
| sangelion | owh.. :D this room support what? | 10:05 |
| sangelion | also support c programming? | 10:05 |
| ApOgEE | sangelion: what is your problem with C ? | 10:05 |
| ApOgEE | I'll try my best to answer it | 10:06 |
| sangelion | right now don't have.. but later will have.. :D | 10:07 |
| ApOgEE | lol | 10:07 |
| ApOgEE | no problem, just come here and ask your question | 10:08 |

| _2B_ | Hi all. Synaptic Packet Manager window refocus on the foreground when it is finishing installing. That disturbes my workflow. Can I force Synaptic to stay in the background ? | 10:25 |
| M0hi | _2B_: Close the dialog box after intallation checkbox ? | 10:32 |
| M0hi | _2B_: "Close the dialog box after intallation"- checkbox. that will be there at each installation progress screen I believe | 10:33 |
| * M0hi didn't use synaptic for about 2 years though | 10:33 | |
| _2B_ | M0hi: Sorry for my late reply. That5 dialogbox is just for automatically closing the last dialog. What I mean is the window that pops up to tell me that the changes will be applied. It all close automatically but first takes focus above my working window ? | 10:53 |
| M0hi | _2B_: Sorry I dont know about that clearly. cant help it with office machine :[ | 11:18 |
| _2B_ | M0hi: NP, thanks for trying to help & have a good day. | 11:23 |
| M0hi | thanks _2B_. Hope your issue will get solved. Try asking in #ubuntu where there is more audience for your question | 11:25 |
| _2B_ | I did & wait a little for another try with (hopefully) a better formulated question. | 11:26 |
| M0hi | okies | 11:26 |
| _2B_ | :) | 11:28 |
| _2B_ | How can I look if my installed network-driver is the best or if there's a better driver ? I'm a horrible network-noob ! | 12:38 |
| holstein | _2B_: if you are new to it, i say... if it aint broke, dont mess with it | 12:39 |
| Brutus- | _2B_, was it installed automagically? | 12:40 |
| _2B_ | Yes | 12:40 |
| Brutus- | _2B_, i think it is the best, unless there is a propetary driver | 12:40 |
| holstein | yeah, and thats arguably better | 12:40 |
| _2B_ | But I suspect/hope that I can improve my unstable WLAN by finding the driver that is special made for this 'chip ?' | 12:41 |
| holstein | like with certain broadcom hardware, you get different levels of compromise depending on what driver you use | 12:41 |
| Brutus- | If the driver is installed then is ok for your hardware | 12:41 |
| holstein | _2B_: you can always try the windows driver with ndiswrapper | 12:41 |
| Brutus- | you can see if there is a propetary driver in Systems Settings > Additional Drivers | 12:42 |
| _2B_ | holstein: You mean just try changing the driver & watch the result ? I can do that (trail & error) | 12:42 |
| _2B_ | Brutus-: Its empty | 12:43 |
| holstein | _2B_: you can run lspci, get the line for your hardware and google | 12:43 |
| holstein | see if there are any bugs reported or whatever | 12:43 |
| _2B_ | holstein: Right, that how I wil continue. Thanks | 12:43 |
| holstein | other than that, yeah... its trail and error... unless you find someone with your exact hardware case | 12:43 |
| holstein | trial* | 12:44 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 12:44 |
| Brutus- | _2B_, there is another option. You can watch what is the vendor and the id of your board. Then search driver for it | 12:45 |
| holstein | anyways... good luck _2B_ | 12:45 |
| _2B_ | Thanks holstein. | 12:45 |
| _2B_ | Brutus-: Wich command can I use (like lspci) to see my motherboard | 12:46 |
| Brutus- | _2B_, sudo lshw -html > hw | 12:47 |
| Brutus- | the look hw | 12:47 |
| _2B_ | ? | 12:47 |
| Brutus- | _2B_, write the command then the result is in hw file | 12:48 |
| Brutus- | placed into the dir where you are | 12:49 |
| Brutus- | sorry for my bad english | 12:49 |
| Brutus- | :P | 12:49 |
| _2B_ | Okay, I understand that | 12:49 |
| _2B_ | np | 12:49 |
| _2B_ | & thank you again for the kind help. Now I have something to read & do. Good luck. 8-) | 12:50 |

| sangelion | hi all.. what is ./configure --prefix and what for?? what is the difference between ./configure --local? | 16:59 |
| Sidewinder1 | sangelion, Since no one else is answering and I don't completely understand your question, perhaps this might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware | 17:10 |
| sangelion | thank you sidewinder1... :D | 17:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | sangelion, My pleasure. :-) | 17:12 |
| sangelion | i just configuring something but refer to the manual.. i just want to understand more. :D | 17:13 |
| Sidewinder1 | sangelion, I understand; compiling is not my "strong point" but it is interesting to learn, even if I don't really need to do it (compiling). | 17:15 |
| sangelion | :D but something we need it.. because we use ubuntu.. need to configure something.. | 17:16 |
| sangelion | i try to configuring croostool-ng right now.. :D | 17:17 |
| Gamegoofs2 | Hey everyone. I haven't been around for a while, but I'm interested in doing some Ubuntu development again. | 19:55 |
| Geocosm | Hey, guys. Is there an indicator applet that will show my wireless signal strength in dBm instead of the obscure "one bar, two bars, three bars"? | 19:55 |
| Brutus- | Geocosm, the iwconfig tool does that, but it isn't an applet | 20:02 |
| Geocosm | Yeah, I've been using iwconfig wlan0, but I would rather not have to open a terminal to see my signal strength. | 20:03 |
| Geocosm | That seems kinda silly. | 20:03 |
| Geocosm | There used to be a mouseover thing that would pop up. But since 11.04 those icons don't have tooltips anymore. | 20:04 |
| Geocosm | So it's impossible to see my connection strength. | 20:04 |
| Brutus- | Geocosm, i'll make a script with gui to do that :D | 20:05 |
| Brutus- | Geocosm, i'll notice you | 20:06 |
| Brutus- | ah ah ah | 20:06 |
| Geocosm | lol, seriously? | 20:07 |
| Brutus- | i've thought about it but then i realized that i don't have a wireless connection :D | 20:20 |
| Brutus- | anyway it would be simple | 20:21 |
| Brutus- | just read the value from /proc/net/wireless then print it on a gui | 20:23 |
| Gamegoofs2 | What language would you do it in? | 20:25 |
| Brutus- | I'd like use Ruby, but require the vm installation. So Java because i know it well ( i beleave :D) | 20:32 |
| Gamegoofs2 | Ok awesome. | 20:33 |
| Brutus- | But i think Python is the better language to do it | 20:33 |
| Gamegoofs2 | That's what I was thinking. | 20:33 |
| Brutus- | :) | 20:33 |
| Gamegoofs2 | How easy are GUIs in Python? | 20:33 |
| Brutus- | I didn't use it much, so i don't know :P | 20:35 |
| Gamegoofs2 | Ok. I've only really done GUIs in Java. | 20:35 |
| Gamegoofs2 | And only a little at that. | 20:35 |
| Brutus- | Gamegoofs2, read from file in java is quite simple. If you like it you should make the applet :D | 20:36 |
| Gamegoofs2 | Sure! | 20:37 |
| Gamegoofs2 | I've read from a file before. | 20:37 |
| Gamegoofs2 | So I know I can do thagt. | 20:37 |
| Gamegoofs2 | that* | 20:37 |
| Gamegoofs2 | What file am I reading from? :P | 20:38 |
| Brutus- | into the iwconfig man is write iwconfig read the value from /proc/net/wireless | 20:40 |
| Brutus- | it don't read, it interpret a raw | 20:41 |
| Brutus- | i'm going... Bye | 20:44 |
| Gamegoofs2 | I found the file, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. | 20:44 |
| Brutus- | Hear you next time | 20:45 |
| Gamegoofs2 | Ok. | 20:45 |
