| Ford_P | Having problems with my Ethernet card... Anyone know anything about that? | 05:05 |
| holstein | Ford_P: potentially... just ask, and if someone knows they will answer | 05:07 |
| Ford_P | additional 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_P | while not having access to the web | 05:08 |
| Ford_P | Laptop is a Asus K53E and it's a Atheros AR8151 card. I need to load the driver. | 05:09 |
| holstein | Ford_P: you can download the .debs and move them over | 05:10 |
| Ford_P | I've been following the instructions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1677122 till I got stuck | 05:10 |
| Ford_P | Oh maybe I should just do that then...... | 05:10 |
| Ford_P | how do I know that I've met all the dependencies? | 05:10 |
| Ford_P | where can I get the .deb files? | 05:11 |
| holstein | Ford_P: it should let you know if you havent | 05:11 |
| holstein | you can only get deb files if they are availalbe | 05:11 |
| Ford_P | ok | 05:11 |
| holstein | you can just search for them | 05:12 |
| holstein | http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 05:12 |
| Ford_P | For example it's asking for ver. 4-3-3 gtk | 05:12 |
| Ford_P | ok cool I'll try that | 05:12 |
| Ford_P | Thanks | 05:13 |
| holstein | Ford_P: you cant wire it up temporarily? | 05:13 |
| Ford_P | nope | 05:14 |
| JackyAlcine | How do you add another location for libraries to be loaded by an application? | 05:14 |
| Ford_P | I ran lshw -C network | 05:14 |
| Ford_P | *-network UNCLAIMED | 05:14 |
| Ford_P | for both wired and wifi | 05:15 |
| JackyAlcine | I 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 |
| holstein | Ford_P: wired should just work | 05:15 |
| Ford_P | I could try it again. | 05:16 |
| Ford_P | so basically there is an auto detect feature?? | 05:16 |
| holstein | JackyAlcine: wish i could help... | 05:16 |
| holstein | Ford_P: depends on your network | 05:16 |
| Ford_P | if a wired connection works then that's half the battle right there | 05:17 |
| holstein | i have DHCP... when i plug it into my router, it just works | 05:17 |
| holstein | then, i can apply upates, and try wifi again, and fiddle from there if needed | 05:17 |
| JackyAlcine | Ford_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 |
| holstein | JackyAlcine: i forget about that! | 05:18 |
| holstein | thats pretty slick | 05:18 |
| JackyAlcine | You can copy that to a usb stick, invoke it on another system (or manually open and download with Notepad) and wham-o. | 05:18 |
| JackyAlcine | holstein: :P | 05:18 |
| Ford_P | Yes it's on my system. I tried that and it's saying i need to install 8 packages | 05:18 |
| holstein | Ford_P: personally, i would try 10.04 live as well.. and go with that if it works out-of-the-box | 05:18 |
| * holstein gotta run... | 05:19 | |
| Ford_P | thanks | 05:19 |
| JackyAlcine | Ford_P: did you add those packages to Synaptic or wanted to manually installed them by double-clicking? | 05:20 |
| JackyAlcine | If 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_P | so I'm looking at it now using Synaptic | 05:20 |
| Ford_P | otherwise I was going to download each package manually | 05:21 |
| Ford_P | http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/ | 05:21 |
| JackyAlcine | Hmm. Did you generate the script? | 05:22 |
| JackyAlcine | After selecting the packages, click the File menu then click "Generate package download Script" | 05:23 |
| Ford_P | ohh sorry no network access | 05:23 |
| Ford_P | can't download | 05:23 |
| Ford_P | well I'm using a 2nd computer which I will manually download each package | 05:23 |
| Ford_P | or | 05:24 |
| Ford_P | the 2nd computer I'm using the newer version. | 05:24 |
| Ford_P | 11.xx | 05:24 |
| JackyAlcine | No problem, just generate the script _then_ copy it to the other computer. | 05:25 |
| Ford_P | the other computer is 10.04. Also one computer is 32bit and the other is 64 bit. Would that be a problem? | 05:25 |
| JackyAlcine | No, because the architecture (32-bit, 64-bit) would be hard-written into the download path. | 05:25 |
| Ford_P | sorry.. by generate script what are you referring to. | 05:25 |
| Ford_P | in the terminal? | 05:26 |
| Ford_P | just want to make sure I understand | 05:26 |
| JackyAlcine | In Synaptic. | 05:27 |
| JackyAlcine | After you've selected the package "build-ess", it should tell you it needs a few more. | 05:27 |
| JackyAlcine | click ok and then when you're satisified, click "File" then "Generate Package download script" | 05:27 |
| Ford_P | so 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 |
| JackyAlcine | Yup. | 05:30 |
| JackyAlcine | The thing is, after you've downloaded them, make sure that they're in their own folder. | 05:30 |
| Ford_P | each package in it's own folder. | 05:31 |
| Ford_P | ok | 05:31 |
| JackyAlcine | No! lol, all of the packages in one folder. | 05:32 |
| Ford_P | ahh gotcha | 05:32 |
| JackyAlcine | :D Tell me when you've made the script. | 05:33 |
| Ford_P | so I ran the "Generate package download script" | 05:35 |
| JackyAlcine | the 2nd computer? | 05:36 |
| JackyAlcine | on the 2nd computer? | 05:36 |
| Ford_P | on the computer that needs the packages | 05:36 |
| JackyAlcine | You should have seen a bunch of download actions by wget. | 05:36 |
| Ford_P | I have a file in the folder called build-essential | 05:37 |
| JackyAlcine | Wait, so you've generated the script via Synaptic? | 05:39 |
| Ford_P | let me review. | 05:39 |
| Ford_P | to keep things organized | 05:39 |
| Ford_P | I'll call computer 1 the computer that needs packages | 05:39 |
| Ford_P | computer 2 providing packages | 05:40 |
| Ford_P | so I created the script on computer 2 and saved it to a usb drive | 05:40 |
| Ford_P | is this correct? | 05:41 |
| Ford_P | so we should be ready to go then | 05:43 |
| JackyAlcine | YEah | 05:44 |
| JackyAlcine | *yeah | 05:44 |
| JackyAlcine | sorry went to the bathroom. | 05:44 |
| Ford_P | run in terminal? | 05:44 |
| Ford_P | np | 05:44 |
| Ford_P | so I'm guessing I need to move the file from the usb drive to a folder on computer 2. | 05:48 |
| Ford_P | sorry computer 1 | 05:48 |
| Ford_P | and run | 05:48 |
| JackyAlcine | Yeah | 05:50 |
| JackyAlcine | Well, it'd be easier if you could run in while having it still on the drive. | 05:50 |
| JackyAlcine | So you wouldn't have to copy anything. | 05:51 |
| Ford_P | so I clicked Run | 05:52 |
| Ford_P | what do I do then? | 05:52 |
| JackyAlcine | clicked run? the script's something you'd have to run in a terminal. | 05:55 |
| JackyAlcine | You mean from a context menu? | 05:55 |
| Ford_P | when I click on the file it asks how to run it | 05:55 |
| Ford_P | so I clicked Run | 05:56 |
| JackyAlcine | Hmm, check your home directory ("~/"), the packages may have been downloaded there since you didn't use a terminal. | 05:57 |
| Ford_P | I checked the file and it only had #!/bin/sh and nothing else | 05:58 |
| JackyAlcine | O.o | 06:00 |
| JackyAlcine | You have Synaptic opened on computer 2? or computer 1 | 06:01 |
| Ford_P | yeah on both | 06:02 |
| JackyAlcine | Only need it on computer 1. | 06:04 |
| Ford_P | yep | 06:04 |
| Ford_P | wonder if I can get it on the packages site | 06:05 |
| JackyAlcine | You can, but Synaptic would pull in all of the dependencies. | 06:06 |
| Ford_P | that's one of the problems with all the dependencies. It's a huge web of dependencies you have to track down. | 06:07 |
| Ford_P | take forever | 06:07 |
| Ford_P | thanks for the help. I'll keep picking away at this. | 06:10 |
| zkriesse | hello anybody :P | 07:05 |

| sattu941 | hm. | 07:17 |
| sattu941 | We need more beginners here. | 07:17 |
| zkriesse | hobgoblin: Well apparently the #ubuntu-beginners-team channel is only for the bt team now... | 07:17 |
| hobgoblin | no it's not | 07:17 |
| zkriesse | According to bodhi_zazen anyway | 07:17 |
| sattu941 | bt team ? | 07:17 |
| zkriesse | sattu941: This channel and other #ubuntu-beginners- channels are under the Ubuntu Beginners Team :) | 07:17 |
| sattu941 | oh. | 07:18 |
| hobgoblin | well it is for the beginners team but the BT is not as it was - regardless this is not a channel for chit-chat | 07:18 |
| zkriesse | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam | 07:18 |
| zkriesse | wb zeroseven0183 | 07:19 |
| zeroseven0183 | :-) | 07:19 |
| sattu941 | Anyway I set up ssh with key based authentication yesterday, and also set up free DDNS with no-ip.org, I'm pretty happy about it :). | 07:20 |
| zkriesse | rad | 07:20 |
| sattu941 | try ssh <user>@grubblyplank.no-ip.org -p 24 | 07:21 |
| zkriesse | no thanks :P | 07:21 |
| sattu941 | :P | 07:22 |
| sattu941 | Will probably write a review for the noip2 package in Software Center soon. | 07:22 |
| zkriesse | Ah... the fun-ness of tech review/writing | 07:24 |
