| E3D3 | Hardtack: I like MultiSystem (http://liveusb.info/dotclear/) | 14:41 |
| Hardtack | nlsthan: my method was Universal-USB-installer-1.8.6.8.exe | 14:45 |
| nlsthzn | Hardtack: hmmm... that is the "official" method as described on the ubuntu site... so it is strange that it didn't work... | 14:47 |

| geirha | Some hardware has problems booting when the usb is persistent. I'm not sure why, or if that is still the case. | 14:49 |
| Hardtack | geirha: On a previous attempt, I used Universal-USB-installer-1.8.6.8.exe and set the installation for NO persistent file. On that occasion I received an error message, "vesamenu.c32: not a COM32R image". I gave up on that, and reformatted the stick WITH a persistent file, resulting in this chat. | 14:53 |
| holstein | Hardtack: i typically just install to the USB stick, and put grub on there | 14:56 |
| Hardtack | holstein: I don't understand "grub", other than something I eat! | 14:58 |
| holstein | grub is the boot loader that ubuntu uses by default | 14:58 |
| holstein | !info grub2 | 14:59 |
| holstein | !grub | 14:59 |
| ubot2 | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 14:59 |
| holstein | *if* you were to actually install ubuntu, that sould replace the bootloader you are using (by default) | 14:59 |
| holstein | if you had windows on there, it would repace the windows bootloader (which will only boot windows) and install grub which will install both | 15:00 |
| holstein | well, not install, it will allow both linux and windows to boot | 15:00 |
| holstein | but, thats not what you want | 15:00 |
| holstein | you want a persistent USB... and i see no advantage to that being live... i get a USB stick, and the alternate ISO's still allow for customizing where grub goes | 15:01 |
| Hardtack | ubot2: There's no Windows section on this stick. Does the subject "Lost GRUB after installing Windows?" apply to me? | 15:01 |
| ubot2 | Hardtack: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:01 |
| holstein | Hardtack: that is an error that can result | 15:02 |
| Hardtack | My error - sorry. | 15:02 |
| holstein | no worries... | 15:02 |
| Hardtack | holstein: I'm chatting on a Windows machine. Please tell me how to "!info grub2" without Linux. | 15:06 |
| holstein | Hardtack: you dont have grub on that windows machine | 15:07 |
| holstein | what im suggesting is an alternative to the persisent live scenario | 15:07 |
| holstein | where, you would actually install ubuntu, using the USB stick as the destination, then installing grub (for the bootloader) to that same USB stick | 15:08 |
| holstein | this is again the method i prefer, since i end up with a traditional normal system, just one that is on a USB stick | 15:08 |
| holstein | Hardtack: what are you using to create the stick that you are trying to make? | 15:09 |
| Hardtack | holstein: Oops, we didn't/_I_ didn't communicate well. Yes, I know that I don't have grub on a Windows machine. How to I use my Windows machine to !linfo for the grub that may not be in exist on my stick? | 15:09 |
| holstein | Hardtack: did you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent ?? | 15:10 |
| Hardtack | holstein: above I replied to nlsthan: my method was Universal-USB-installer-1.8.6.8.exe | 15:10 |
| holstein | i personally use http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 15:10 |
| holstein | but again, i dont do persistence that way ^^ | 15:11 |
| Hardtack | holstein: To your question, "did you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent ??", I looked at it some three hours ago, but my first impression is that it doesn't have anything to do with my problem. | 15:13 |
| holstein | Hardtack: what would you lie for me to help you with? | 15:15 |
| holstein | i feel like the error you are encountering could be anything from the stick being bad, to a bad downloaded image, to something with the usb creator you are using | 15:16 |
| holstein | i personally tried the usb creator a few years ago, and it didnt work well for me, so i went back with unetbootin | 15:16 |
| Hardtack | holstein: If I knew, I wouldn't be asking for help. Just tell me "load /casper/vmlinuz from the website www.universalfixes.net and install it in your root directory using the executable file 'smashed_grub.bin'." or some such. | 15:20 |
| holstein | Hardtack: unfortunately theres not an easy answer... a 'click this and all is well' answer | 15:20 |
| holstein | i would suggest using unetbooting with that usb stick and that downloaded image ot make just a normal bootable live stick | 15:21 |
| holstein | that will tell you the image is good, and the stick is good, and give you a result that is positive | 15:21 |
| Hardtack | holstein: Thank you for your assistance. I think I'll wait and see if another expert can help. | 15:21 |
| holstein | then, you can go from there, changing the stick out, or trying a different downloaded image | 15:22 |
| holstein | Hardtack: sure... good luck :) | 15:22 |
| holstein | Hardtack: you might find some assistance with your ubuntu loco team http://loco.ubuntu.com/ | 15:24 |
| holstein | but i assure you , to diagnose whats going on, you will need to be cooperative with *some* form of troubleshooting at some point | 15:24 |
| Hardtack | holstein: I'll give http://locoubuntu.com/ a try. Thanks! | 15:24 |
| Hardtack | holstein: Firefox rerouted http://locoubuntu.com to www.locoubuntu.com and reports it can't find the server. | 15:27 |
| holstein | you can just click here >> http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or type it in as-is | 15:28 |
| holstein | you need a *.* after the loco | 15:28 |
| Hardtack | holstein: I clicked and told you what Firefox reported. | 15:28 |
| holstein | http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://loco.ubuntu.com/ | 15:28 |
| Hardtack | holstein: Ah! It appears that you left out an important <dot> in the original address. Thanks. | 15:30 |
| holstein | Hardtack: typically, the channels are laid out like this... i am in north carolina, US, so my loco is | 15:30 |
| holstein | #ubuntu-us-nc | 15:30 |
| holstein | you can likely just guess the channel you want to try... /join #ubuntu-us-tx or however the particular chat client you use connects | 15:31 |
| holstein | also, just to clarify, and you can check the scroll back.. the dot is missing in the response you typed, and thats likely the link you clicked on, resutling in the error Hardtack | 15:38 |

| hobgoblin | truepurple: if you have a newish version the easiest thing to do is sudo add-apt-repository ppa:handbrake-ubuntu/ppa | 16:52 |
| truepurple | I did that, and I did the update thing | 16:53 |
| truepurple | but hobgoblin that was not enough for the program to appear it seems | 16:53 |
| hobgoblin | you need to install it as well - that just adds the repo and when you updated made the package available for install | 16:53 |
| truepurple | how do I install it? | 16:54 |
| hobgoblin | sudo apt-get install handbrake if that's the name of the package | 16:54 |
| hobgoblin | or you could use software centre | 16:54 |
| truepurple | It isnt listed there | 16:55 |
| truepurple | hobgoblin, know of another way to fix videos without indexes for rewinding and fastforwarding? | 16:55 |

| haqking | hi piskie | 17:00 |
| truepurple | hobgoblin, what is its name, is it natty or oneiric? | 17:01 |
| hobgoblin | truepurple: 11.04 is natty | 17:08 |
| hobgoblin | truepurple: do you know how to use pastebins? open a terminal run command that follows and copy it to the pastebin - enter and give me the link - please do not paste it all in here | 17:10 |
| hobgoblin | truepurple: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 17:10 |
| hobgoblin | that is a lower case L not an I or a 1 | 17:10 |
| hobgoblin | oh lol - nvm I lied - it only goes to lucid | 17:11 |
| hobgoblin | hang on - I did find a link | 17:11 |
| hobgoblin | try this one - possibly it has a natty version - http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11430209&postcount=2 | 17:11 |
| truepurple | hobgoblin, it says 11.10, that means it will work for 11.04 too? | 17:14 |
| truepurple | I guess so | 17:15 |
| hobgoblin | no idea - it might - I'm sort of in the middle of some r/l stuff and haven;t had time to backtrack to find the ppa page | 17:16 |
| hobgoblin | truepurple: yes it does | 17:17 |
| truepurple | hobgoblin, E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 17:18 |
| truepurple | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 17:18 |
| truepurple | What do I need to shut down? | 17:18 |
| hobgoblin | software centre perhaps | 17:22 |
| hobgoblin | anything that is accessing the dpkg lock - so anything that's installing anything | 17:22 |
| dangertux | alternatively you could do sudo killall -9 apt (this will stop anything using apt and probably make it crash just a fair warning) then retry to use apt to do the update/install/whatever | 17:25 |
| truepurple | gah, weird things are suddenly happening with my system | 17:28 |
| truepurple | I can't get into nautilus, windows of nautilus that were already up first hanged with the cursor, and then went blank, and small up ups keep on coming up, that are blank white | 17:29 |
| truepurple | hobgoblin, dangertux | 17:31 |
| dangertux | yes? | 17:31 |
| hobgoblin | I'm not going to be much help with ubuntu - I use something else | 17:32 |
| dangertux | truepurple - I would try rebooting it and see if it's still doing it | 17:32 |
| hobgoblin | truepurple: if you've got a terminal open you could try running top to see what's at the top | 17:32 |
| truepurple | "running top"? what does that mean hobgoblin? | 17:33 |
| hobgoblin | it's a program in terminal, tells you what things are running and cpu usage and the like | 17:34 |
| truepurple | how do I start it hobgoblin? | 17:34 |
| hobgoblin | type top in a terminal | 17:35 |
| truepurple | hmm, well it seems to have resolved itself now | 17:37 |
| hobgoblin | might be worth keeping an eye on that - if it happens again - remember top in terminal :) | 17:39 |
| truepurple | you dont know anything about handbreak? | 17:39 |
| hobgoblin | nope - sorry - no idea even as to what it is :) | 17:42 |
| truepurple | hobgoblin, know anything about methods to fix indexing on videos? | 17:48 |
| hobgoblin | sorry | 17:48 |
| hobgoblin | if there's no-one in here jumps in to say I do either hang about or maybe have a look on the forum - perhaps use googlbuntu to search it | 17:50 |
| truepurple | not had much success with forum, even with easier questions | 17:52 |
| hobgoblin | well I have had no problem using it personally. | 17:53 |
| truepurple | using the forum? The problem is that people rarely respond and help from my exp | 17:53 |
| zkriesse | truepurple: Eh depends upon how you ask | 17:54 |
| zkriesse | Most people just browse it to find answers for their own questions...They rarely help I agree but it's because half the time they aren't there to help | 17:55 |
| zkriesse | Its the rock-solid contributors from the deep, dark, mysterious past like hobgoblin who help :P | 17:55 |
| hobgoblin | truepurple: if you've had problems getting help from the forum - have a look at one of the stickies in the ABT forum - might help | 17:57 |
| truepurple | link to this abt forum please | 17:58 |
| zkriesse | http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?s=1f80d5fb4461f4515d5e6818fe71b0ad&f=326 | 17:58 |
| zkriesse | It's the "Absolute Beginners Talk" section | 17:59 |
| zkriesse | Lot of those questions get answered and talked about | 17:59 |
| truepurple | btw, it seems it is thia handbreak thing that is causing trouble with my system | 17:59 |
| truepurple | that is where I have gone before | 17:59 |
| hobgoblin | truepurple: this post - read it - might help might not http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8920811&postcount=1 | 18:01 |
| hobgoblin | anyway I'm off for a while now | 18:01 |
| truepurple | hobgoblin, something in that handbreak program is causing major problems with naut, how can I shut it down? | 18:02 |
| zkriesse | You could just kill it from terminal | 18:02 |
| zkriesse | p aux grep it | 18:02 |
| truepurple | how? I mean I already closed the program itself, but its side effects continue | 18:03 |
| hobgoblin | zkriesse: this is the beginners help channel - might help to explain that lol | 18:03 |
| zkriesse | hobgoblin: Yeah I'm working on it :P | 18:03 |
| hobgoblin | anyway - as I said - I'm off now | 18:03 |
| zkriesse | truepurple: Even when you "close" a program there might on occasion still be a background process or processes from said program running | 18:04 |
| zkriesse | Naturally because they're in the background you can't just click "Close" | 18:04 |
| truepurple | I would try to kill something in system monitor, but I dont see anything obvious to kill | 18:04 |
| zkriesse | Yeah see that's the first tatic you can take | 18:04 |
| zkriesse | But like you say, nothing obvious | 18:04 |
| zkriesse | Now, you can do a grep search from terminal and then kill it and that should be the end of it...if that fails (I.E. it comes up with nothing related to said program) then we'd have to try and figure something out | 18:05 |
| truepurple | nautilus is runninh and using 96% of my cpu?! | 18:05 |
| zkriesse | Lemme grab my cheat sheet for aux grep etc...moment plz | 18:05 |
| zkriesse | Nautilus is a bugger | 18:05 |
| truepurple | should I force close it? | 18:06 |
| zkriesse | You can try, or you could do a system shut down and then reboot to see if that helps first... | 18:06 |
| zkriesse | I'd recommend that first before you start killing processes off like bad guys in a saloon | 18:06 |
| truepurple | another is npviewer at 52%, hey that is more then 100%, how is that possible | 18:07 |
| hobgoblin | try killall nautilus - it'd restart automatically | 18:07 |
| hobgoblin | now I'm really off lol | 18:07 |
| truepurple | what is wrong with killing processes? That is what shut down does anyway | 18:07 |
| zkriesse | Well there's nothing wrong perce, just in my opinion I recommend a shutdown first because that way they get shut down in an orderly fashion, instead of random with the possibility of crashing other system resources etc | 18:09 |
| truepurple | crashinh other system resources could cause damage zkriesse ? | 18:10 |
| zkriesse | Not saying it wil but i've had weirder things happen :P | 18:10 |
| zkriesse | Sorry if I get you confused, i'm coming off a cold here so my brain is still a bit wacked | 18:10 |
| truepurple | but how can I directly shutdown the after effects of this handbreak program zkriesse | 18:11 |
| zkriesse | lemme research a sec | 18:13 |
| zkriesse | Ok so you're using that video transcoder thingy? | 18:18 |
| truepurple | i used it | 18:18 |
| truepurple | trying to fix the index on a program | 18:19 |
| zkriesse | Ok | 18:19 |
| zkriesse | And now your system is doing what exactly | 18:19 |
| truepurple | zkriesse, But I shut it down some time ago | 18:19 |
| truepurple | nautilus is all locked up | 18:19 |
| zkriesse | ah ok | 18:20 |
| zkriesse | You could try just killing nautilus then like hobgoblin suggested | 18:20 |
| truepurple | its using a crazy amount of cpu usage ( how can one program use 96% cpu, and another 52%?) | 18:20 |
| truepurple | how can there be 148% cpu usage? | 18:21 |
| zkriesse | ouch | 18:21 |
| zkriesse | yeah, kill it | 18:21 |
| truepurple | that was a actual question | 18:21 |
| zkriesse | Something is totally off...that shouldn't be happening | 18:21 |
| zkriesse | I have no idea to be honest | 18:21 |
| truepurple | there was also strange blank popups | 18:21 |
| zkriesse | ? | 18:22 |
| truepurple | That question is too vague to answer | 18:24 |
| zkriesse | I meant surprise man | 18:25 |
| zkriesse | That is just really odd | 18:25 |
| truepurple | well this handbreak program seems too buggy | 18:27 |
| truepurple | you don't know of a better way to fix video indexing? | 18:27 |
| zkriesse | Nope sorry :( | 18:28 |
| sluckxz | avidemux works pretty slick not sure about indexing and doesnt work great with x264. awesome for muxing. | 18:28 |
| truepurple | what is x264, and what is muxing sluckxz | 18:29 |

| deper29 | hey guys, wondering if you could help me a bit here. I am having a hard time getting sound from HDMI set up in 10.04. I have an Nvidia GTX 550 Ti card | 18:38 |
| deper29 | I found this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1668737 but it isn't working for me :/ | 18:39 |
| truepurple | what is x264, and what is muxing sluckxz | 18:40 |
| sluckxz | truepurple: you will have to read that on your own or find someone else to read it to you i am not willing to do that for you. bioterror gave a link to 264 info and here is one on multiplexing. http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/term.cfm/multiplexing | 18:42 |
| truepurple | Well this does not seem to have alot of bearing on fixing those video indexings | 18:44 |
| sluckxz | deper29: did aplay -l show an hdmi device? | 18:45 |
| deper29 | no, just a usb sound device and my sound card | 18:46 |
| deper29 | i don't want to go through sound card at this instant in time, just because i haven't set up house properly yet, and am running through tv speakers | 18:47 |
| sluckxz | you have to have the nvidia proprietary drivers installed to get hdmi audio. | 18:48 |
| sluckxz | System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers did you do that? | 18:48 |
| deper29 | says it's activated | 18:49 |
| sluckxz | whats your cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version output?\ | 18:49 |
| sluckxz | this guy got the correct driver working in 10.10 http://bpowers.org/?p=10 with a little work around to get more current | 18:52 |
| deper29 | NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 285.05.09 Fri Sep 23 17:31:57 PDT 2011 | 18:53 |
| deper29 | GCC version: gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) | 18:53 |
| deper29 | so you think I should add that repository then? | 18:55 |
| deper29 | because my version seems newer than that guy's | 18:56 |
| sluckxz | hope you can get dmesg | grep -i hdmi or aplay -l to list some hdmi audio devices. seems like a driver / hardware issue to me. so no i wouldnt try to find anything older but i might try anything newer. | 18:58 |
| sluckxz | If you do not see a nvidia sound device you need to upgrade to a properly patched alsa 1.0.23 or 2.6.35+ kernel | 19:00 |
| sluckxz | very end of step one. in that article. | 19:00 |
| deper29 | my kernel is 2.6.32-35-generic | 19:01 |
| sluckxz | if it seems you have the correct driver and you do and you do not see hdmi audio hardware listed patch alsa and kernel. lol sorry man. | 19:01 |
| deper29 | that's okay | 19:02 |
| deper29 | thanks for trying :) | 19:02 |
| sluckxz | go for it! patch it and compile a kernel! | 19:02 |
| sluckxz | or just upgrade i suppose. bummer thats a bit of a tough one. | 19:02 |
| sluckxz | im running 11.10 and hdmi audio works slick out of the box. | 19:03 |
| sluckxz | it looks to me you only have to do one or the other. | 19:04 |
| sluckxz | upgraded kernel or.. patch alsa | 19:04 |
| sluckxz | i patched alsa once before in slackware i think and it wasnt that horrible. i found a great tutorial on patching alsa | 19:05 |
| deper29 | I don't know how to patch that stuff lol | 19:05 |
| deper29 | time for some more googling and reading I guess | 19:05 |
| deper29 | might as well learn :P | 19:06 |
| sluckxz | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules looks pretty doable not to tough. | 19:06 |
| sluckxz | looks pre compiled in that link. just bleeding edge apparently. | 19:07 |
| sluckxz | great attitude deper29 | 19:08 |
| deper29 | E: Couldn't find package linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.32-35-generic | 19:09 |

| deper29 | that isn't sarcasm is it? | 19:09 |
| sluckxz | no way. | 19:09 |

| truepurple | sluckxz, the indexing on many a video file I have is broken so I can not fast-forward or rewind them | 19:20 |
| sluckxz | deper29: there are ppas for .37 and .38 kernels! | 19:24 |
| truepurple | sluckxz, so can you help | 19:24 |
| sluckxz | not sure truepurple what video player do you use? | 19:24 |
| sluckxz | im encoding an mkv right now. i dont have any issues ff rw using xbmc with my mkv's | 19:25 |
| truepurple | Totem and vlc, but it doesnt matter, the ones with the bad index have trouble fastforwarding and rewinding, and the ones that have fine indexs, don't have trouble | 19:26 |
| truepurple | what is xbmc, a player? | 19:26 |
| sluckxz | yes. media center. | 19:27 |

| sluckxz | and you upgraded alsa? | 19:32 |
| === nlsthzn is now known as Munchkin | ||
| sluckxz | you might need to reinstall the driver as well becuase of the kernel change | 19:32 |
| deper29 | I did | 19:32 |
| truepurple | sluckxz, I am told that the meteor program is not that good, is there a better way? | 19:32 |

| deper29 | how do I do that? | 19:32 |
| === Munchkin is now known as nlsthzn | ||

| sluckxz | deper29: there are ppa repos for .37 and .38 kernels as well. apparently there is more support in newer kernels without needing to patch alsa. | 19:34 |
| deper29 | how do i update my kernel? or do I have to download source and compile? | 19:34 |

| deper29 | so now do I just follow the rest of that guide then? | 19:47 |

| sluckxz | that thread suggested that using mkvtoolnix 3.4 or greater repaired some mks ff capability simply by opening and resaving the mkv. didnt work for everyone. | 20:14 |
| sskalnik | How might I discover which package installed a given file? | 20:16 |
| truepurple | sluckxz, so if I used the first install instructions, it will give me 3.4 or better? | 20:20 |
| sluckxz | sskalnik: dpkg -S filename maybe? | 20:21 |
| sluckxz | what instructions truepurple | 20:21 |
| truepurple | http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Install_XBMC_on_Ubuntu | 20:22 |
| sluckxz | im not so sure a new video player will help with ff or rewind if vlc cant do it. | 20:22 |
| truepurple | sluckxz, so how can I fix this index thing? | 20:24 |
| sluckxz | well recoding is probly the surest way unfortunately. | 20:25 |
| sluckxz | again some people had some luck with mkvtoolnix. | 20:26 |
| sskalnik | Er, I mean for a file that isn't on the system. | 20:26 |
| sskalnik | dpkg -S only finds stuff I already have installed. | 20:26 |
| sskalnik | It may help if I elaborate; perhaps there is a better approach to my issue that I have not thought of as yet | 20:27 |
| sskalnik | I'm trying to perform an unattended install using a preseed file. I need a software RAID 1 between two drives, split into five partitions for /, /usr, /home, etc. Everything goes smoothly until partway into the partitioning. When I drop to the second terminal, I get this all throughout the syslog: | 20:30 |
| sskalnik | "can't open /var/lib/partman/outfifo: no such file" | 20:30 |
| truepurple | sluckxz, also it seems my previous attempts at installing xbmc have left some garbage files that dont work in my repository, could there be other such residue files too? if so, how do I clear em out? | 20:39 |
| sluckxz | there should be info in dpkg.log truepurple. i have never been satisifed with my knowledge of removing and purging files with apt based distros. | 20:47 |
| sluckxz | sorry sskalnik i have no idea. see lots of bugs googling partman/outfifo even recent bugs in debian and ubuntu | 20:48 |
| sskalnik | sluckxz, thanks though | 21:01 |

| truepurple | sluckxz, so any more thoughts on how to get around this broken index video issue? | 21:38 |
| sluckxz | i cant think of any easy/fast fixes for messed up mkv's. i would try out mkvtoolnix as a second to last resort before recoding entirely. | 21:57 |
| bobweaver | Hi there I have a question that is geared around making a .deb | 23:13 |
| bobweaver | I guess the real question is can I have the script call to the .fw to mv them to /lib/firmware/ well the .deb is still there. kinda confusing sorry. I will sart over again 1) build script that installed b43 ect 2) add script to build folder with icon and .desktop and test.txt 3) make tar 4) put tar in folder 5) run db_make 6 ) get rid of old tar and go into new debian folder and work on config and what not rules beeing the most | 23:13 |
| bobweaver | important. this is the part that I am confused about. if the firmare is in the package can I tell it under rulles to put in /lib/firmware/ or do I make so it makes new folder that then script (.desktop) then calles to that folder and then mvs all the stuff. I guess I have never had a .deb package that works that way or that I have seen. so I guess the real question is how to get the firmware files to the /lib/firmware/ for the end user. | 23:13 |
| bobweaver | thanks so much for your time and reading this :>) | 23:13 |
| bobweaver | ops that is question 2 not one here is the start | 23:14 |
| bobweaver | Hi there I am makeing a .deb file for the b43 and b43 legacy drivers and firmware. this is the 1st time that I have made a .deb package. I want to store the firmware in the packge but how to call for the firmware to be moved to /lib/firmware in the script if the .fw files are in the .deb package ? | 23:14 |

| sluckxz | http://packages.debian.org/lenny/all/firmware-bnx2/download | 23:28 |
| sluckxz | both seem to have the firmware in the lib/firmware already. | 23:29 |
| bobweaver | The point is is that I want to become a deveolper. and yes they might have some firmware for lenny and i386 but I am taking this time to learn how to make .deb and how to help out more areound the block so to say | 23:35 |
| bobweaver | so I guess that it is not really about the package but more about the knowledge | 23:36 |
| sluckxz | my point is apparently it is common to have the firmware in the path. | 23:36 |
| sluckxz | there is an ubuntu beginner dev channel somewhere. last i was there they were helpful and friendly. | 23:36 |
| bobweaver | ah cool | 23:36 |
| bobweaver | cool | 23:37 |
| bobweaver | will look for it thanks sluckxz you are aawesome ! :>) | 23:37 |
| sluckxz | cheers | 23:37 |
