[00:12] does anyone know how i can get my asus usbn13 wireless adapter to start working? [00:12] spreadneck205: i would plug it in... open a terminal... run type [00:12] lsusb [00:12] take the line that (hopefully) describes it, and drop it into google [00:13] i would also wire that machine up to internet, and see if you are presented with any proprietary drivers to download [00:13] OR, if it just works auto-magically [00:13] then, if you are not presented with automatic drivers, and google turns up nothing, i would try the windows drivers with ndiswrapper [00:14] holstein: it shows the adapter name, and i have the installation cd for it, but i dont know how to build a driver? [00:15] this may or may not be relavant, but its usually what folks need when they are working on a tricky wifi card [00:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:15] spreadneck205: build? [00:15] cd? [00:15] or at least, thats what asus said [00:15] spreadneck205: i dont think that CD has a linux driver on it.. maybe it does [00:15] that probably has a windows driver on it though, so keep it handy [00:15] asus tech support said that i would have to build a driver for the network card to work [00:16] spreadneck205: open a termoinal... type the word [00:16] lsusb [00:16] it has a linux folder, but im not sure what to do with what" in it [00:16] then, hit enter [00:16] spreadneck205: there should be a read me there [00:16] Bus 002 Device 006: ID 0b05:1784 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. 802.11n Network Adapter [00:17] it does have a readme, but it's a little over my head [00:18] you can link it here in pastebin i suppose [00:18] are you certain its *not* working? [00:18] the light has not come on... [00:18] check up near the time there for the network applet, and make sure its not just working [00:19] anyways, i gotta run.. share that readme if you want... [00:19] under the option to use the asus adapter instead of the built-in adapter it says device firmware missing or not ready [00:20] how can i do that === M0hi is now known as IamNotThatGuy [09:30] hi [10:01] http://pastie.org/2682001 [10:03] * bioterror goes and wears tin foil hat [13:48] I want to use my data-partition like a normal folder read/write. Will adding this line in fstab do it ? [13:48] UUID=d1d0cf46-958f-4a12-a604-0ac66040648b /media/Storage ext3 auto,user,noexec,rw 0 0 [13:49] i think so... just know how to fix it if the system doesnt boot, and you're good to go :) [13:50] might need to chown... [13:50] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive#Automatic_Mount_At_Boot [13:50] I'd set the last field to 2 so fsck will check it on boot. [13:51] What will it check, is it that disc-test ? [13:53] holstein: Thx [13:54] The same check it already does on your / filesystem during boot [14:18] geirha: & holstein: my storage-partition & I thank you for helping reunite us succesfully ;-) [14:19] E3D3: :) [14:19] yeah, thats a good tip about fsck geirha [15:53] when ubuntu 11.10 will be released? any deteailed info? [15:53] october 13th UTC (there is never a set time) [17:39] nhandler: poke [18:14] what's this that people adds beginners team's mailinglist to linked in and spams us with it [18:25] bioterror: spam =) [18:42] Did anyone try out driftnet on natty ? [18:43] And had any kind of success with it ? === nlsthzn_ is now known as nlsthzn [19:26] Now why would right-click not work in FF in 11.10... very odd === yofel_ is now known as yofel [23:22] 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] Geocosm: you cant access vbox or the machine? [23:22] It's on this machine. [23:23] But I can't see the virtualization, because it's headless. [23:23] So, how does one access a headless vbox? [23:24] 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. [23:26] Geocosm: view steps 6-8: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch07.html#idp11804896 [23:31] Well, it's already installed and running. I just can't see it. [23:32] Do I need to be in the giant black scary screen of only CLI? [23:32] thats cause you need to connect to it...what are you using to try and connect? [23:32] That's my question :P [23:32] did you not read the link i sent you? [23:33] It's telling me how to install it with the .iso file. Which I have already done. [23:33] and then it says I need to connect to it. [23:33] But I don't know how. [23:34] Start the virtual machine using VBoxHeadless: [23:34] VBoxHeadless --startvm "Windows XP" [23:34] If everything worked, you should see a copyright notice. If, instead, you are returned to the command line, then something went wrong. [23:34] common RDP viewer? [23:34] 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] You should now be seeing the installation routine of your guest operating system remotely in the RDP viewer. [23:34] The client machine and the host machine are the same machine. [23:35] ok, what is your current setup? are you using a server headless and connecting to it via ssh or what? [23:36] I think I'm trying to do that second thing you said. [23:36] I'm on Ubuntu. [23:37] I want to run Win7 without having to run my Ubuntu GUI in the back ground as well, to save on ram. [23:37] I've installed a Win7 virtual machine in VBox. It's currently running. [23:37] so you have one computer? [23:37] Yes. [23:37] with no GUI? [23:38] I'm talking to you on it :P [23:38] ok so please explain to me how you are headless?? [23:38] I *want* to be headless. [23:39] so on your computer all you want is command line when you boot up? [23:39] No. [23:39] i want my GUI most times. Just not when my Win7 is running in VBox. [23:40] Ok well thats not gonna happen [23:40] damn. [23:40] to be able to view the desktop of win7 you must have a desktop running [23:41] you cant view gui when you turn gui off [23:41] 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? [23:42] yes which is what i thought you were talking about in the first place when you said headless [23:48] Geocosm: i would actually recommend that method over what you are attempting right now [23:49] The only problem with that is my spare computer only has one gig of ram, and Win7 won't run on 512. [23:49] so upgrade ram [23:49] VBox freaks out when I allocate more than 50% of my ram. [23:50] I am poor as dirt and I found it in the trash. [23:50] "Very infected! Virus! throw away!" it says on it in sharpee marker. [23:50] lol nice [23:51] So. I put ubuntu on it.
