philipballew | where would I find the list of ppa's I have so I can purge them? | 00:04 |
---|---|---|
sebikul | philipballew, press ALT + F2 and execute "software-properties-gtk". The list you are looking for is under the "other software" tab | 00:08 |
philipballew | alright, because ppa's are not gonna be in a /etc/apt.sources.list file I dont think sebikul ? | 00:12 |
philipballew | at least their not for me when i updated 11.10 | 00:12 |
Unit193 | /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 00:12 |
philipballew | yeah! thats what i ment | 00:12 |
sebikul | they are under the folder "/etc/apt/sources.list.d" | 00:12 |
sebikul | ohh, sorry, i was typing ;) | 00:13 |
philipballew | maybe the update effed up my list | 00:13 |
philipballew | because software-properties has them, though they were all disabled I beleive | 00:13 |
philipballew | http://paste.ubuntu.com/705181/ | 00:15 |
philipballew | ill look into it, but figured it paste it here anyway | 00:15 |
philipballew | i gotta run. peace! | 00:16 |
gunjin2112 | hi | 02:19 |
gunjin2112 | need help | 02:19 |
philipballew | ok gunjin2112 | 02:20 |
philipballew | whats up | 02:20 |
gunjin2112 | i'm using ubuntu 11.04 and running a dual boot with win7 pro 64 bit and i think my system has a virus i mean my win7 and can i scan that drive using ubuntu | 02:29 |
gunjin2112 | is there a good anti virus for linux and how to install it and how do i scan? | 02:30 |
philipballew | ok gunjin2112 yeah, there are some virius scanners for linux that would scan your windows partition, | 02:32 |
gunjin2112 | where do i dl it? | 02:32 |
gunjin2112 | and do you have any recommendations? | 02:32 |
philipballew | well, I would try the ones in the software center | 02:33 |
philipballew | some good ones are... | 02:33 |
* philipballew is remembering | 02:33 | |
philipballew | !virus | 02:34 |
ubot2 | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 02:34 |
gunjin2112 | the first on the list is clamav | 02:36 |
gunjin2112 | is it any good | 02:36 |
philipballew | I think so. I would honestly just install it and run it and see what turns up. and if you dont like it try a different one | 02:37 |
gunjin2112 | haha thanks | 02:38 |
gunjin2112 | ok ill try it then | 02:38 |
gunjin2112 | thanks again | 02:38 |
urlin2u | bitdefender and avast have linux versions as well | 02:38 |
philipballew | yeah. I think there are commerical ones to | 02:39 |
philipballew | if you want to pay a few bucks | 02:39 |
urlin2u | both free thiugh | 02:39 |
urlin2u | though | 02:39 |
philipballew | i guess i would try them. also see when they were uploaded to the software center | 02:40 |
urlin2u | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BitDefender | 02:40 |
urlin2u | http://www.avast.com/linux-home-edition#tab4 if you run avast read this link as well. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=70903.0 | 02:43 |
gunjin2112 | you need to register to avast in order to get the license | 02:44 |
philipballew | i wonder if there and any viriuses on my laptop just sitting there | 02:44 |
philipballew | clam might work. in the software center reviews it says you need to | 02:44 |
gunjin2112 | i'm currently running just now clamav | 02:44 |
gunjin2112 | in terminal | 02:44 |
philipballew | To update virus definitions: | 02:44 |
philipballew | sudo freshclam | 02:44 |
philipballew | according to some review | 02:45 |
urlin2u | philipballew, probably not, I have yet to find one myself, but I don't save cookies and use better privacy in FF to remove longterm cookies some =times thought of as addware | 02:45 |
* philipballew uses chrome :) | 02:46 | |
urlin2u | I also run rkhunter and chkrootkit on occasion, the others are for the windows dual boot mostly. | 02:46 |
philipballew | i stoped duel booting when i installed ubuntu over my xp partition years ago and said "well, so long windows i guess" | 02:48 |
gunjin2112 | well i cant just yet | 02:49 |
gunjin2112 | but i'm getting my feet wet | 02:49 |
urlin2u | I have college classes that I need word for and got W7 for 25$, and word cheap to as a student, I actually started on open source. | 02:49 |
urlin2u | thought I would check out MS a while back. | 02:50 |
urlin2u | hardly use it though | 02:51 |
philipballew | i am in college to. NICE!!! | 02:52 |
urlin2u | I grad after next semester with a bachelors, older student here. | 02:52 |
philipballew | major? | 02:53 |
urlin2u | black Studies, Psych minor | 02:54 |
urlin2u | also called african studies, the african Diaspora basically | 02:54 |
philipballew | ah right, We talked about this a few months back | 02:59 |
philipballew | are you from Africa ? | 02:59 |
urlin2u | no a anglo in america just interested | 03:02 |
urlin2u | I used to play jazz, and like cultural studies in general, these depts also have a more afro-centric view at times which is kind of refreshing, really to some extent it is the left out history at times, and a dofferent point of view. | 03:04 |

nlsthzn | luca: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu | 19:54 |
luca | How can one persone test ubuntu version? | 19:54 |
holstein | w47331: whats up? | 19:56 |
luca | I'm trying to do a wiki page how can i do? | 19:56 |
holstein | luca: you have a launchpad account? | 19:56 |
luca | yes I do | 19:56 |
luca | Signed Ubuntu Code of Conduct: | 19:58 |
luca | Yes | 19:58 |
luca | I have also signed the ubuntu code of conduct | 19:58 |
w47331 | im new to ubuntu and have a BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) that will not work for some reason... | 19:58 |
w47331 | nor will the function keys to activate the wifi | 19:58 |
w47331 | im on a inspron 1545 | 19:59 |
holstein | w47331: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 19:59 |
holstein | theres a bug where you dont get prompted for the correct additional driver right now | 19:59 |
w47331 | did | 19:59 |
holstein | w47331: if neither of those drivers work for you, and you are sure you installed them properly, then you'll want to try the windows driver | 20:00 |
w47331 | i have a list of reports ive compiled i can send | 20:00 |
holstein | i would download the windows XP driver from dell | 20:00 |
holstein | look for 'windows wireless drivers' in the menu | 20:00 |
holstein | or, install ndisgtk and run it | 20:01 |
w47331 | ok | 20:01 |
holstein | point to your hardware and see how it works | 20:01 |
w47331 | i just read about that...im not sure how to go about that | 20:01 |
holstein | w47331: you want to plug the computer up to internet | 20:01 |
holstein | at least temporarily | 20:01 |
holstein | that'll be easiest | 20:01 |
holstein | then, if i were you, i would check for, and apply all available updates | 20:02 |
holstein | reboot... and then re-try things from that wiki page | 20:02 |
holstein | then, try the windows wireless driver | 20:02 |
holstein | w47331: in the menu, you'll see 'windows wireless drivers' | 20:02 |
w47331 | OK SO WILL THAT FIX THE FUNCTION KEY ISSUE AS WELL? | 20:02 |
w47331 | srry for the caps | 20:02 |
holstein | if not, that package is called 'ndisgtk' | 20:02 |
holstein | you run that, and its a GUI | 20:03 |
holstein | you point it to the windows driver, the *.ini you get from dell | 20:03 |
w47331 | i have those packages already but am yet to install | 20:03 |
holstein | w47331: i would go in that order | 20:03 |
w47331 | ok man ill try | 20:03 |
holstein | upgrade the packages, try forcing the broadcom packages from the ubuntu repos | 20:04 |
holstein | then, try the windows drivers | 20:04 |
holstein | luca: whats the problem with the wiki page? | 20:04 |
holstein | you click 'edit' and go for it | 20:04 |
w47331 | i do this in the synaptic package manager right? | 20:07 |
holstein | w47331: you can | 20:11 |
w47331 | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 20:11 |
holstein | i do updated in the terminal | 20:11 |
w47331 | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 20:11 |
holstein | w47331: right | 20:11 |
holstein | thats because something else is locking the resources like it says | 20:11 |
w47331 | <<<<lost...so lost...lol | 20:11 |
w47331 | what can i give ya to tell ya wat is wrong with it? | 20:12 |
holstein | w47331: well, nothing is wrong | 20:14 |
holstein | you can only run one package management tool | 20:15 |
holstein | this is a feature to make sure nothing gets broken | 20:15 |
holstein | you can close the update manager | 20:15 |
holstein | or the software center | 20:15 |
holstein | or apt/aptitude | 20:15 |
luca | I cannot create a wiki page holstein | 20:15 |
holstein | or whatever else you are using, and pair it down to just one | 20:15 |
holstein | w47331: worst case, just reboot the machine, then run the update manager | 20:16 |
luca | I have an account on launchpad | 20:16 |
holstein | the update manger is running in the background at boot typically | 20:16 |
holstein | i disable it | 20:16 |
w47331 | ~$ sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source | 20:16 |
w47331 | Reading package lists... Done | 20:16 |
luca | I read the ten steps | 20:16 |
w47331 | Building dependency tree | 20:16 |
w47331 | Reading state information... Done | 20:16 |
w47331 | bcmwl-kernel-source is already the newest version. | 20:16 |
w47331 | The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required: | 20:16 |
w47331 | wine1.2-gecko | 20:16 |
w47331 | Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. | 20:16 |
w47331 | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 20:16 |
holstein | w47331: you'll want to use a pastebin for that kind of thing too | 20:16 |
holstein | http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 20:17 |
w47331 | i download as txt? | 20:18 |
holstein | w47331: you use that link to share lines of information | 20:18 |
holstein | instead of pasting them here.. 'flooding' the channel | 20:19 |
w47331 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/705590/ | 20:19 |
w47331 | ??? | 20:19 |
w47331 | right? | 20:19 |
holstein | w47331: thats good | 20:19 |
holstein | you should also make sure the hardware is turned on in the bios and whatever switches it has | 20:20 |
holstein | and make sure you know how to use the network manager | 20:20 |
holstein | click around on the icons up by the time and see if any networks are there | 20:20 |
holstein | luca: this is my wiki page | 20:21 |
holstein | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/holstein | 20:21 |
holstein | luca: what page are you trying to make, and what is the error? | 20:21 |
w47331 | no networks | 20:21 |
holstein | right-click on it, make sure networking is enabled, and wireless networking is enabled | 20:22 |
w47331 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/705593/ | 20:23 |
holstein | w47331: did you check for and apply upgrades? | 20:23 |
w47331 | im still struggling | 20:23 |
luca | I'm tryinf to create my page but I can't | 20:23 |
luca | I don't know how can i create it | 20:23 |
luca | I'm studying yours | 20:24 |
luca | it's very interesting | 20:24 |
holstein | w47331: with? upgrading? | 20:24 |
holstein | thats what im calling step 1 | 20:25 |
holstein | check for and apply upgrades | 20:25 |
holstein | then... we'll do something else | 20:25 |
holstein | luca: right, what page are you trying to create? what URL? | 20:25 |
holstein | and what is the error message you recieve? | 20:25 |
w47331 | yes holstein upgrading | 20:26 |
holstein | w47331: you can use the upgrade too | 20:27 |
holstein | tool* | 20:27 |
digikwondo | hello , having issues with my touchpad. it stoped working after enabling nvidia drivers. running 11.04 desktop | 20:27 |
holstein | digikwondo: i would remove the drivers... you can try checking for a kernel upgrade, or apply the patches to an older kernel | 20:28 |
holstein | i would probably try it in both gnome and unity too just to be sure | 20:28 |
luca | holstein: http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Filiberto | 20:28 |
w47331 | holstein how easy would it be for someone to remote in and fix this for me? | 20:29 |
holstein | luca: we dont have access to *-it like that | 20:29 |
holstein | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Filiberto should work fine for you | 20:29 |
holstein | w47331: depends | 20:30 |
luca | why should I cut it? | 20:30 |
w47331 | be willing to try? | 20:30 |
holstein | you should know how to upgrade the system though | 20:30 |
holstein | thats good security practice | 20:30 |
digikwondo | holstein: thanks. but how do i remove the drivers through command line? | 20:30 |
luca | holstein: tell me in the URL you have to write complete name and surname? | 20:30 |
holstein | w47331: if it comes to that, i might | 20:30 |
holstein | cant do it today though | 20:30 |
w47331 | right on...thanks | 20:31 |
holstein | w47331: its do-able though | 20:31 |
holstein | luca: ? | 20:31 |
w47331 | it seems to be a tough one | 20:31 |
holstein | you cant make the page you are trying to create at *-it | 20:31 |
holstein | we dont have write access like that too wiki.ubuntu.it | 20:32 |
w47331 | brb | 20:32 |
w47331 | yea im lost man.... | 20:34 |
holstein | w47331: with the upgrade step? | 20:34 |
w47331 | seems ive read to the point of not understanding | 20:34 |
w47331 | yes | 20:34 |
holstein | close literally everything you have open | 20:34 |
w47331 | ok...how i do that? | 20:34 |
holstein | hit the little 'X's that clost the windows | 20:35 |
holstein | keep this chat open | 20:35 |
holstein | close *all* package managers | 20:35 |
holstein | anything that might be locking the packages | 20:35 |
luca | holstein: tell me mike | 20:35 |
w47331 | ok got that | 20:36 |
holstein | w47331: then, in the menu, you'll find 'update manger' | 20:36 |
holstein | in gnome, its in 'system-administration-updatemanager' | 20:36 |
w47331 | i dont know where to find the menu | 20:36 |
holstein | not sure how to get there from unity | 20:36 |
holstein | i think you just type | 20:36 |
luca | holstein: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/filiberto | 20:37 |
holstein | w47331: you hit the little ubuntu sign up in the top left and type update manger | 20:37 |
w47331 | ok | 20:37 |
holstein | ^ at least, im pretty sure thats how, i dont use 11.04, or unity | 20:37 |
luca | holstein: this page doesn't exist what should I do? | 20:37 |
holstein | luca: i created it when i made mine | 20:38 |
holstein | i made an empty one, and went from there | 20:38 |
holstein | i copied the code from someone else's (with permission) and edited it for me | 20:38 |
w47331 | up to date | 20:39 |
holstein | w47331: GOOD! :) | 20:39 |
luca | could I copy yours? | 20:40 |
luca | :) | 20:40 |
w47331 | rite!!! lol | 20:40 |
holstein | now you just have to *confirm* that the hardware is functional | 20:40 |
w47331 | ok console cmd? | 20:40 |
holstein | if you have windows dual-booting, i would reboot into that, and make sure its working | 20:40 |
w47331 | i dont | 20:40 |
holstein | make sure the hardware switches are on | 20:40 |
w47331 | im going to reboot look at the bios | 20:41 |
w47331 | bbif | 20:41 |
holstein | w47331: i tech'd out a box for a guy in my LUG... we *had* to install windows for a moment, run a windows-only app to enable it in the bios | 20:41 |
holstein | then, ubuntu used the hardware just fine | 20:41 |
holstein | im not saying thats your problem, but, i do see issues like this often | 20:41 |
holstein | i was doing a broadcom the other day that was tricky like that hardware-switch wise | 20:42 |
holstein | luca: sure... you can hit the edit button if you want, and copy whatever, and just *dont* save it back | 20:42 |
holstein | i do that a lot with the wiki pages | 20:42 |
holstein | hit 'edit', and look, but i dont save any changes back | 20:42 |
holstein | you can always just grab it all and paste it out into gedit or whatever | 20:43 |
holstein | alright.. ill be back on in a bit... gotta driver home now guys | 20:43 |
luca | holstein: do you think it's better with it or without? | 20:44 |
