[00:04] <philipballew> where would I find the list of ppa's I have so I can purge them?
[00:08] <sebikul> philipballew, press ALT + F2 and execute "software-properties-gtk". The list you are looking for is under the "other software" tab
[00:12] <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"
[00:13] <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
[00:15] <philipballew> http://paste.ubuntu.com/705181/
[00:15] <philipballew> ill look into it, but figured it paste it here anyway
[00:16] <philipballew> i gotta run. peace!
[02:19] <gunjin2112> hi
[02:19] <gunjin2112> need help
[02:20] <philipballew> ok gunjin2112
[02:20] <philipballew> whats up
[02:29] <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
[02:30] <gunjin2112> is there a good anti virus for linux and how to install it and how do i scan?
[02:32] <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?
[02:33] <philipballew> well, I would try the ones in the software center
[02:33] <philipballew> some good ones are...
[02:33]  * philipballew is remembering
[02:34] <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
[02:36] <gunjin2112> the first on the list is clamav
[02:36] <gunjin2112> is it any good
[02:37] <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
[02:38] <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
[02:39] <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
[02:40] <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
[02:43] <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
[02:44] <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
[02:45] <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
[02:46]  * philipballew uses chrome :)
[02:46] <urlin2u> I also run rkhunter and chkrootkit on occasion, the others are for the windows dual boot mostly.
[02:48] <philipballew> i stoped duel booting when i installed ubuntu over my xp partition years ago and said "well, so long windows i guess"
[02:49] <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.
[02:50] <urlin2u> thought I would check out MS a while back.
[02:51] <urlin2u> hardly use it though
[02:52] <philipballew> i am in college to. NICE!!!
[02:52] <urlin2u> I grad after next semester with a bachelors, older student here.
[02:53] <philipballew> major?
[02:54] <urlin2u> black Studies, Psych minor
[02:54] <urlin2u> also called african studies, the african Diaspora basically
[02:59] <philipballew> ah right, We talked about this a few months back
[02:59] <philipballew> are you from Africa ?
[03:02] <urlin2u> no a anglo in america just interested
[03:04] <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.

[19:42] <w47331> hello all
[19:43] <w47331> anyone willing to help with a wireless card issue?
[19:51] <luca> hi guys
[19:51] <luca> are there anybody??
[19:52] <luca> How can one person hel the community?
[19:52] <luca> help
[19:53] <nlsthzn> w47331: best is to state the problem and I am sure someone will pip in and assist as they can
[19:54] <nlsthzn> luca: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu
[19:54] <luca> How can one persone test ubuntu version?
[19:56] <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
[19:58] <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
[19:59] <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
[20:00] <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
[20:01] <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
[20:02] <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'
[20:03] <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
[20:04] <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
[20:07] <w47331> i do this in the synaptic package manager right?
[20:11] <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
[20:12] <w47331> what can i give ya to tell ya wat is wrong with it?
[20:14] <holstein> w47331: well, nothing is wrong
[20:15] <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
[20:16] <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
[20:17] <holstein> http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[20:18] <w47331> i download as txt?
[20:18] <holstein> w47331: you use that link to share lines of information
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <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
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <holstein> right-click on it, make sure networking is enabled, and wireless networking is enabled
[20:23] <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
[20:24] <luca> I'm studying yours
[20:24] <luca> it's very interesting
[20:24] <holstein> w47331: with? upgrading?
[20:25] <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?
[20:26] <w47331> yes holstein upgrading
[20:27] <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
[20:28] <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
[20:29] <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
[20:30] <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
[20:31] <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
[20:32] <holstein> we dont have write access like that too wiki.ubuntu.it
[20:32] <w47331> brb
[20:34] <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?
[20:35] <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
[20:36] <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
[20:37] <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?
[20:38] <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
[20:39] <w47331> up to date
[20:39] <holstein> w47331: GOOD! :)
[20:40] <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
[20:41] <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
[20:42] <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
[20:43] <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
[20:44] <luca> holstein: do you think it's better with it or without?
[20:44] <luca> holstein: .it
[20:50] <w47331> got it man!!!!
[20:50] <w47331> thanks a million!!!!
[21:00] <luca> holstein: it doesn't work

[21:24] <luca> You are doing a page for me?
[21:25] <holstein> luca: no, i just created the page
