| spreadneck205 | does anyone know how i can get my asus usbn13 wireless adapter to start working? | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | spreadneck205: i would plug it in... open a terminal... run type | 00:12 |
| holstein | lsusb | 00:12 |
| holstein | take the line that (hopefully) describes it, and drop it into google | 00:12 |
| holstein | i would also wire that machine up to internet, and see if you are presented with any proprietary drivers to download | 00:13 |
| holstein | OR, if it just works auto-magically | 00:13 |
| holstein | then, if you are not presented with automatic drivers, and google turns up nothing, i would try the windows drivers with ndiswrapper | 00:13 |
| spreadneck205 | holstein: it shows the adapter name, and i have the installation cd for it, but i dont know how to build a driver? | 00:14 |
| holstein | this may or may not be relavant, but its usually what folks need when they are working on a tricky wifi card | 00:15 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 00:15 |
| holstein | spreadneck205: build? | 00:15 |
| holstein | cd? | 00:15 |
| spreadneck205 | or at least, thats what asus said | 00:15 |
| holstein | spreadneck205: i dont think that CD has a linux driver on it.. maybe it does | 00:15 |
| holstein | that probably has a windows driver on it though, so keep it handy | 00:15 |
| spreadneck205 | asus tech support said that i would have to build a driver for the network card to work | 00:15 |
| holstein | spreadneck205: open a termoinal... type the word | 00:16 |
| holstein | lsusb | 00:16 |
| spreadneck205 | it has a linux folder, but im not sure what to do with what" in it | 00:16 |
| holstein | then, hit enter | 00:16 |
| holstein | spreadneck205: there should be a read me there | 00:16 |
| spreadneck205 | Bus 002 Device 006: ID 0b05:1784 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. 802.11n Network Adapter | 00:16 |
| spreadneck205 | it does have a readme, but it's a little over my head | 00:17 |
| holstein | you can link it here in pastebin i suppose | 00:18 |
| holstein | are you certain its *not* working? | 00:18 |
| spreadneck205 | the light has not come on... | 00:18 |
| holstein | check up near the time there for the network applet, and make sure its not just working | 00:18 |
| holstein | anyways, i gotta run.. share that readme if you want... | 00:19 |
| spreadneck205 | under the option to use the asus adapter instead of the built-in adapter it says device firmware missing or not ready | 00:19 |
| spreadneck205 | how can i do that | 00:20 |

| E3D3 | I want to use my data-partition like a normal folder read/write. Will adding this line in fstab do it ? | 13:48 |
| E3D3 | UUID=d1d0cf46-958f-4a12-a604-0ac66040648b /media/Storage ext3 auto,user,noexec,rw 0 0 | 13:48 |
| holstein | i think so... just know how to fix it if the system doesnt boot, and you're good to go :) | 13:49 |
| holstein | might need to chown... | 13:50 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive#Automatic_Mount_At_Boot | 13:50 |
| geirha | I'd set the last field to 2 so fsck will check it on boot. | 13:50 |
| E3D3 | What will it check, is it that disc-test ? | 13:51 |
| E3D3 | holstein: Thx | 13:53 |
| geirha | The same check it already does on your / filesystem during boot | 13:54 |
| E3D3 | geirha: & holstein: my storage-partition & I thank you for helping reunite us succesfully ;-) | 14:18 |
| holstein | E3D3: :) | 14:19 |
| holstein | yeah, thats a good tip about fsck geirha | 14:19 |

| Geocosm | I have Win7 running in a headless VBox environment, and I have no idea how to access it. I tried tsclient or something, but I have no idea what to type in these boxes. | 23:22 |
| stlsaint | Geocosm: you cant access vbox or the machine? | 23:22 |
| Geocosm | It's on this machine. | 23:22 |
| Geocosm | But I can't see the virtualization, because it's headless. | 23:23 |
| Geocosm | So, how does one access a headless vbox? | 23:23 |
| Geocosm | The how-to for installing it gives no clues. It just says start it. And now it's started. And I can't see it. lol. | 23:24 |
| stlsaint | Geocosm: view steps 6-8: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch07.html#idp11804896 | 23:26 |
| Geocosm | Well, it's already installed and running. I just can't see it. | 23:31 |
| Geocosm | Do I need to be in the giant black scary screen of only CLI? | 23:32 |
| stlsaint | thats cause you need to connect to it...what are you using to try and connect? | 23:32 |
| Geocosm | That's my question :P | 23:32 |
| stlsaint | did you not read the link i sent you? | 23:32 |
| Geocosm | It's telling me how to install it with the .iso file. Which I have already done. | 23:33 |
| Geocosm | and then it says I need to connect to it. | 23:33 |
| Geocosm | But I don't know how. | 23:33 |
| stlsaint | Start the virtual machine using VBoxHeadless: | 23:34 |
| stlsaint | VBoxHeadless --startvm "Windows XP" | 23:34 |
| stlsaint | If everything worked, you should see a copyright notice. If, instead, you are returned to the command line, then something went wrong. | 23:34 |
| Geocosm | common RDP viewer? | 23:34 |
| stlsaint | On the client machine, fire up the RDP viewer and try to connect to the server (see the section called “Common third-party RDP viewers” above for how to use various common RDP viewers). | 23:34 |
| stlsaint | You should now be seeing the installation routine of your guest operating system remotely in the RDP viewer. | 23:34 |
| Geocosm | The client machine and the host machine are the same machine. | 23:34 |
| stlsaint | ok, what is your current setup? are you using a server headless and connecting to it via ssh or what? | 23:35 |
| Geocosm | I think I'm trying to do that second thing you said. | 23:36 |
| Geocosm | I'm on Ubuntu. | 23:36 |
| Geocosm | I want to run Win7 without having to run my Ubuntu GUI in the back ground as well, to save on ram. | 23:37 |
| Geocosm | I've installed a Win7 virtual machine in VBox. It's currently running. | 23:37 |
| stlsaint | so you have one computer? | 23:37 |
| Geocosm | Yes. | 23:37 |
| stlsaint | with no GUI? | 23:37 |
| Geocosm | I'm talking to you on it :P | 23:38 |
| stlsaint | ok so please explain to me how you are headless?? | 23:38 |
| Geocosm | I *want* to be headless. | 23:38 |
| stlsaint | so on your computer all you want is command line when you boot up? | 23:39 |
| Geocosm | No. | 23:39 |
| Geocosm | i want my GUI most times. Just not when my Win7 is running in VBox. | 23:39 |
| stlsaint | Ok well thats not gonna happen | 23:40 |
| Geocosm | damn. | 23:40 |
| stlsaint | to be able to view the desktop of win7 you must have a desktop running | 23:40 |
| stlsaint | you cant view gui when you turn gui off | 23:41 |
| Geocosm | So, if I put Ubuntu Server on a spare computer I can install the VBox on it, install Win7 in that, and then connect to it from this computer? | 23:41 |
| stlsaint | yes which is what i thought you were talking about in the first place when you said headless | 23:42 |
| stlsaint | Geocosm: i would actually recommend that method over what you are attempting right now | 23:48 |
| Geocosm | The only problem with that is my spare computer only has one gig of ram, and Win7 won't run on 512. | 23:49 |
| stlsaint | so upgrade ram | 23:49 |
| Geocosm | VBox freaks out when I allocate more than 50% of my ram. | 23:49 |
| Geocosm | I am poor as dirt and I found it in the trash. | 23:50 |
| Geocosm | "Very infected! Virus! throw away!" it says on it in sharpee marker. | 23:50 |
| stlsaint | lol nice | 23:50 |
| Geocosm | So. I put ubuntu on it. | 23:51 |
