Ford_PHaving problems with my Ethernet card... Anyone know anything about that?05:05
holsteinFord_P: potentially... just ask, and if someone knows they will answer05:07
Ford_Padditional question.. On the computer with no internet access I need to install Build-Essential and I'm not able to do that because it requires 8 package upgrades. How can I make the needed upgrades?05:07
Ford_Pwhile not having access to the web05:08
Ford_PLaptop is a Asus K53E and it's a Atheros AR8151 card. I need to load the driver.05:09
holsteinFord_P: you can download the .debs and move them over05:10
Ford_PI've been following the instructions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1677122 till I got stuck05:10
Ford_POh maybe I should just do that then......05:10
Ford_Phow do I know that I've met all the dependencies?05:10
Ford_Pwhere can I get the .deb files?05:11
holsteinFord_P: it should let you know if you havent05:11
holsteinyou can only get deb files if they are availalbe05:11
Ford_Pok05:11
holsteinyou can just search for them05:12
holsteinhttp://packages.ubuntu.com/05:12
Ford_PFor example it's asking for ver. 4-3-3 gtk05:12
Ford_Pok cool I'll try that05:12
Ford_PThanks05:13
holsteinFord_P: you cant wire it up temporarily?05:13
Ford_Pnope05:14
JackyAlcineHow do you add another location for libraries to be loaded by an application?05:14
Ford_PI ran lshw -C network05:14
Ford_P*-network UNCLAIMED05:14
Ford_Pfor both wired and wifi05:15
JackyAlcineI know that adding PATH="$PATH:~/usr/bin" would add my local ~/usr/bin to run apps, but libraries don't work for that...05:15
holsteinFord_P: wired should just work05:15
Ford_PI could try it again.05:16
Ford_Pso basically there is an auto detect feature??05:16
holsteinJackyAlcine: wish i could help...05:16
holsteinFord_P: depends on your network05:16
Ford_Pif a wired connection works then that's half the battle right there05:17
holsteini have DHCP... when i plug it into my router, it just works05:17
holsteinthen, i can apply upates, and try wifi again, and fiddle from there if needed05:17
JackyAlcineFord_P: do you have Synaptic on your system? If so, find the packages you want to install and then in the file menu, click "Generate download package script".05:17
holsteinJackyAlcine: i forget about that!05:18
holsteinthats pretty slick05:18
JackyAlcineYou can copy that to a usb stick, invoke it on another system (or manually open and download with Notepad) and wham-o.05:18
JackyAlcineholstein: :P05:18
Ford_PYes it's on my system. I tried that and it's saying i need to install 8 packages05:18
holsteinFord_P: personally, i would try 10.04 live as well.. and go with that if it works out-of-the-box05:18
* holstein gotta run...05:19
Ford_Pthanks05:19
JackyAlcineFord_P: did you add those packages to Synaptic or wanted to manually installed them by double-clicking?05:20
JackyAlcineIf you add them to Synaptic, it'd tell you what else you need and you could repeat the process until the dependencies are resolved.05:20
Ford_Pso I'm looking at it now using Synaptic05:20
Ford_Potherwise I was going to download each package manually05:21
Ford_Phttp://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/05:21
JackyAlcineHmm. Did you generate the script?05:22
JackyAlcineAfter selecting the packages, click the File menu then click "Generate package download Script"05:23
Ford_Pohh sorry no network access05:23
Ford_Pcan't download05:23
Ford_Pwell I'm using a 2nd computer which I will manually download each package05:23
Ford_Por05:24
Ford_Pthe 2nd computer I'm using the newer version.05:24
Ford_P11.xx05:24
JackyAlcineNo problem, just generate the script _then_ copy it to the other computer.05:25
Ford_Pthe other computer is 10.04. Also one computer is 32bit and the other is 64 bit. Would that be a problem?05:25
JackyAlcineNo, because the architecture (32-bit, 64-bit) would be hard-written into the download path.05:25
Ford_Psorry.. by generate script what are you referring to.05:25
Ford_Pin the terminal?05:26
Ford_Pjust want to make sure I understand05:26
JackyAlcineIn Synaptic.05:27
JackyAlcineAfter you've selected the package "build-ess", it should tell you it needs a few more.05:27
JackyAlcineclick ok and then when you're satisified, click "File" then "Generate Package download script"05:27
Ford_Pso the computer I'm using already has it installed. So I'm assuming I can copy the packages to a usb drive and install them on the computer that needs them??05:28
JackyAlcineYup.05:30
JackyAlcineThe thing is, after you've downloaded them, make sure that they're in their own folder.05:30
Ford_Peach package in it's own folder.05:31
Ford_Pok05:31
JackyAlcineNo! lol, all of the packages in one folder.05:32
Ford_Pahh gotcha05:32
JackyAlcine:D Tell me when you've made the script.05:33
Ford_Pso I ran the "Generate package download script"05:35
JackyAlcinethe 2nd computer?05:36
JackyAlcineon the 2nd computer?05:36
Ford_Pon the computer that needs the packages05:36
JackyAlcineYou should have seen a bunch of download actions by wget.05:36
Ford_PI have a file in the folder called build-essential05:37
JackyAlcineWait, so you've generated the script via Synaptic?05:39
Ford_Plet me review.05:39
Ford_Pto keep things organized05:39
Ford_PI'll call computer 1 the computer that needs packages05:39
Ford_Pcomputer 2 providing packages05:40
Ford_Pso I created the script on computer 2 and saved it to a usb drive05:40
Ford_Pis this correct?05:41
Ford_Pso we should be ready to go then05:43
JackyAlcineYEah05:44
JackyAlcine*yeah05:44
JackyAlcinesorry went to the bathroom.05:44
Ford_Prun in terminal?05:44
Ford_Pnp05:44
Ford_Pso I'm guessing I need to move the file from the usb drive to a folder on computer 2.05:48
Ford_Psorry computer 105:48
Ford_Pand run05:48
JackyAlcineYeah05:50
JackyAlcineWell, it'd be easier if you could run in while having it still on the drive.05:50
JackyAlcineSo you wouldn't have to copy anything.05:51
Ford_Pso I clicked Run05:52
Ford_Pwhat do I do then?05:52
JackyAlcineclicked run? the script's something you'd have to run in a terminal.05:55
JackyAlcineYou mean from a context menu?05:55
Ford_Pwhen I click on the file it asks how to run it05:55
Ford_Pso I clicked Run05:56
JackyAlcineHmm, check your home directory ("~/"), the packages may have been downloaded there since you didn't use a terminal.05:57
Ford_PI checked the file and it only had #!/bin/sh and nothing else05:58
JackyAlcineO.o06:00
JackyAlcineYou have Synaptic opened on computer 2? or computer 106:01
Ford_Pyeah on both06:02
JackyAlcineOnly need it on computer 1.06:04
Ford_Pyep06:04
Ford_Pwonder if I can get it on the packages site06:05
JackyAlcineYou can, but Synaptic would pull in all of the dependencies.06:06
Ford_Pthat's one of the problems with all the dependencies. It's a huge web of dependencies you have to track down.06:07
Ford_Ptake forever06:07
Ford_Pthanks for the help. I'll keep picking away at this.06:10
