_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 believe10:33
* M0hi didn't use synaptic for about 2 years though10:33
_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
M0hithanks _2B_. Hope your issue will get solved. Try asking in #ubuntu where there is more audience for your question11:25
_2B_I did & wait a little for another try with (hopefully) a better formulated question.11:26
M0hiokies11:26
_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 it12:39
Brutus-_2B_, was it installed automagically?12:40
_2B_Yes12:40
Brutus-_2B_, i think it is the best, unless there is a propetary driver12:40
holsteinyeah, and thats arguably better12:40
_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
holsteinlike with certain broadcom hardware, you get different levels of compromise depending on what driver you use12:41
Brutus-If the driver is installed then is ok for your hardware12:41
holstein_2B_: you can always try the windows driver with ndiswrapper12:41
Brutus-you can see if there is a propetary driver in Systems Settings > Additional Drivers12:42
_2B_holstein: You mean just try changing the driver & watch the result ? I can do that (trail & error)12:42
_2B_Brutus-: Its empty12:43
holstein_2B_: you can run lspci, get the line for your hardware and google12:43
holsteinsee if there are any bugs reported or whatever12:43
_2B_holstein: Right, that how I wil continue. Thanks12:43
holsteinother than that, yeah... its trail and error... unless you find someone with your exact hardware case12:43
holsteintrial*12:44
holsteinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper12:44
Brutus-_2B_, there is another option. You can watch what is the vendor and the id of your board. Then search driver for it12:45
holsteinanyways... good luck _2B_12:45
_2B_Thanks holstein.12:45
_2B_Brutus-: Wich command can I use (like lspci) to see my motherboard12:46
Brutus-_2B_, sudo lshw -html > hw12:47
Brutus-the look hw12:47
_2B_?12:47
Brutus-_2B_, write the command then the result is in hw file12:48
Brutus-placed into the dir where you are12:49
Brutus-sorry for my bad english12:49
Brutus-:P12:49
_2B_Okay, I understand that12:49
_2B_np12:49
_2B_& thank you again for the kind help. Now I have something to read & do. Good luck. 8-)12:50

sangelionhi all.. what is ./configure --prefix and what for?? what is the difference between ./configure --local?16:59
Sidewinder1sangelion, Since no one else is answering and I don't completely understand your question, perhaps this might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware17:10
sangelionthank you sidewinder1... :D17:11
Sidewinder1sangelion, My pleasure. :-)17:12
sangelioni just configuring something but refer to the manual.. i just want to understand more. :D17:13
Sidewinder1sangelion, 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
sangelioni try to configuring croostool-ng right now.. :D17:17
Gamegoofs2Hey everyone. I haven't been around for a while, but I'm interested in doing some Ubuntu development again.19:55
GeocosmHey, 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 applet20:02
GeocosmYeah, I've been using iwconfig wlan0, but I would rather not have to open a terminal to see my signal strength.20:03
GeocosmThat seems kinda silly.20:03
GeocosmThere used to be a mouseover thing that would pop up. But since 11.04 those icons don't have tooltips anymore.20:04
GeocosmSo it's impossible to see my connection strength.20:04
Brutus-Geocosm, i'll make a script with gui to do that :D20:05
Brutus-Geocosm, i'll notice you20:06
Brutus-ah ah ah20:06
Geocosmlol, seriously?20:07
Brutus-i've thought about it but then i realized that i don't have a wireless connection :D20:20
Brutus-anyway it would be simple20:21
Brutus-just read the value from /proc/net/wireless then print it on a gui20:23
Gamegoofs2What 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
Gamegoofs2Ok awesome.20:33
Brutus-But i think Python is the better language to do it20:33
Gamegoofs2That's what I was thinking.20:33
Brutus-:)20:33
Gamegoofs2How easy are GUIs in Python?20:33
Brutus-I didn't use it much, so i don't know :P20:35
Gamegoofs2Ok. I've only really done GUIs in Java.20:35
Gamegoofs2And 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 :D20:36
Gamegoofs2Sure!20:37
Gamegoofs2I've read from a file before.20:37
Gamegoofs2So I know I can do thagt.20:37
Gamegoofs2that*20:37
Gamegoofs2What file am I reading from? :P20:38
Brutus-into the iwconfig man is write iwconfig read the value from /proc/net/wireless20:40
Brutus-it don't read, it interpret a raw20:41
Brutus-i'm going... Bye20:44
Gamegoofs2I found the file, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for.20:44
Brutus-Hear you next time20:45
Gamegoofs2Ok.20:45
