[00:12] <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
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <spreadneck205> holstein: it shows the adapter name, and i have the installation cd for it, but i dont know how to build a driver?
[00:15] <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
[00:16] <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
[00:17] <spreadneck205> it does have a readme, but it's a little over my head
[00:18] <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
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <spreadneck205> how can i do that

[13:48] <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
[13:49] <holstein> i think so... just know how to fix it if the system doesnt boot, and you're good to go :)
[13:50] <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.
[13:51] <E3D3> What will it check, is it that disc-test ?
[13:53] <E3D3> holstein: Thx
[13:54] <geirha> The same check it already does on your / filesystem during boot
[14:18] <E3D3> geirha: & holstein: my storage-partition & I thank you for helping reunite us succesfully ;-)
[14:19] <holstein> E3D3: :)
[14:19] <holstein> yeah, thats a good tip about fsck geirha
[15:53] <shahanthegeek> when ubuntu 11.10 will be released? any deteailed info?
[15:53] <pleia2> october 13th UTC (there is never a set time)
[17:39] <bodhi_zazen> nhandler: poke
[18:14] <bioterror> what's this that people adds beginners team's mailinglist to linked in and spams us with it
[18:25] <bodhi_zazen> bioterror: spam =)
[18:42] <LemonAid> Did anyone try out driftnet on natty ?
[18:43] <LemonAid> And had any kind of success with it ?
[19:26] <nlsthzn> Now why would right-click not work in FF in 11.10... very odd
[23:22] <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.
[23:23] <Geocosm> But I can't see the virtualization, because it's headless.
[23:23] <Geocosm> So, how does one access a headless vbox?
[23:24] <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.
[23:26] <stlsaint> Geocosm: view steps 6-8: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch07.html#idp11804896
[23:31] <Geocosm> Well, it's already installed and running. I just can't see it.
[23:32] <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?
[23:33] <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.
[23:34] <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.
[23:35] <stlsaint> ok, what is your current setup? are you using a server headless and connecting to it via ssh or what?
[23:36] <Geocosm> I think I'm trying to do that second thing you said.
[23:36] <Geocosm> I'm on Ubuntu.
[23:37] <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?
[23:38] <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.
[23:39] <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.
[23:40] <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
[23:41] <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?
[23:42] <stlsaint> yes which is what i thought you were talking about in the first place when you said headless
[23:48] <stlsaint> Geocosm: i would actually recommend that method over what you are attempting right now
[23:49] <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.
[23:50] <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
[23:51] <Geocosm> So. I put ubuntu on it.
