[03:19] gateSmalls: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [03:19] there's also this factoid, i haven't read it though [03:19] * seidos clicks [03:19] cool logo [03:21] gateSmalls: i think they are the same thing [03:22] gateSmalls: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_Camp_(software) [03:24] hope it helps [03:30] not realy helping it tells me for the desktop vs not the server one [03:31] as for the boot_camp its not as sown [03:34] i'm not familiar with sown [03:35] since i don't have the hardware, and have never done it, all i can do is search the web and have an open ear, sorry i can't be more help gateSmalls [03:36] you could also try the forums and check with your LoCo as well === benonsoftware is now known as OutOfControl [05:05] Having problems with my Ethernet card... Anyone know anything about that? [05:07] Ford_P: potentially... just ask, and if someone knows they will answer [05:07] 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? [05:08] while not having access to the web [05:09] Laptop is a Asus K53E and it's a Atheros AR8151 card. I need to load the driver. [05:10] Ford_P: you can download the .debs and move them over [05:10] I've been following the instructions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1677122 till I got stuck [05:10] Oh maybe I should just do that then...... [05:10] how do I know that I've met all the dependencies? [05:11] where can I get the .deb files? [05:11] Ford_P: it should let you know if you havent [05:11] you can only get deb files if they are availalbe [05:11] ok [05:12] you can just search for them [05:12] http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [05:12] For example it's asking for ver. 4-3-3 gtk [05:12] ok cool I'll try that [05:13] Thanks [05:13] Ford_P: you cant wire it up temporarily? [05:14] nope [05:14] How do you add another location for libraries to be loaded by an application? [05:14] I ran lshw -C network [05:14] *-network UNCLAIMED [05:15] for both wired and wifi [05:15] 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] Ford_P: wired should just work [05:16] I could try it again. [05:16] so basically there is an auto detect feature?? [05:16] JackyAlcine: wish i could help... [05:16] Ford_P: depends on your network [05:17] if a wired connection works then that's half the battle right there [05:17] i have DHCP... when i plug it into my router, it just works [05:17] then, i can apply upates, and try wifi again, and fiddle from there if needed [05:17] 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". [05:18] JackyAlcine: i forget about that! [05:18] thats pretty slick [05:18] 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] holstein: :P [05:18] Yes it's on my system. I tried that and it's saying i need to install 8 packages [05:18] Ford_P: personally, i would try 10.04 live as well.. and go with that if it works out-of-the-box [05:19] * holstein gotta run... [05:19] thanks [05:20] Ford_P: did you add those packages to Synaptic or wanted to manually installed them by double-clicking? [05:20] 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] so I'm looking at it now using Synaptic [05:21] otherwise I was going to download each package manually [05:21] http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/ [05:22] Hmm. Did you generate the script? [05:23] After selecting the packages, click the File menu then click "Generate package download Script" [05:23] ohh sorry no network access [05:23] can't download [05:23] well I'm using a 2nd computer which I will manually download each package [05:24] or [05:24] the 2nd computer I'm using the newer version. [05:24] 11.xx [05:25] No problem, just generate the script _then_ copy it to the other computer. [05:25] the other computer is 10.04. Also one computer is 32bit and the other is 64 bit. Would that be a problem? [05:25] No, because the architecture (32-bit, 64-bit) would be hard-written into the download path. [05:25] sorry.. by generate script what are you referring to. [05:26] in the terminal? [05:26] just want to make sure I understand [05:27] In Synaptic. [05:27] After you've selected the package "build-ess", it should tell you it needs a few more. [05:27] click ok and then when you're satisified, click "File" then "Generate Package download script" [05:28] 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?? [05:30] Yup. [05:30] The thing is, after you've downloaded them, make sure that they're in their own folder. [05:31] each package in it's own folder. [05:31] ok [05:32] No! lol, all of the packages in one folder. [05:32] ahh gotcha [05:33] :D Tell me when you've made the script. [05:35] so I ran the "Generate package download script" [05:36] the 2nd computer? [05:36] on the 2nd computer? [05:36] on the computer that needs the packages [05:36] You should have seen a bunch of download actions by wget. [05:37] I have a file in the folder called build-essential [05:39] Wait, so you've generated the script via Synaptic? [05:39] let me review. [05:39] to keep things organized [05:39] I'll call computer 1 the computer that needs packages [05:40] computer 2 providing packages [05:40] so I created the script on computer 2 and saved it to a usb drive [05:41] is this correct? [05:43] so we should be ready to go then [05:44] YEah [05:44] *yeah [05:44] sorry went to the bathroom. [05:44] run in terminal? [05:44] np [05:48] so I'm guessing I need to move the file from the usb drive to a folder on computer 2. [05:48] sorry computer 1 [05:48] and run [05:50] Yeah [05:50] Well, it'd be easier if you could run in while having it still on the drive. [05:51] So you wouldn't have to copy anything. [05:52] so I clicked Run [05:52] what do I do then? [05:55] clicked run? the script's something you'd have to run in a terminal. [05:55] You mean from a context menu? [05:55] when I click on the file it asks how to run it [05:56] so I clicked Run [05:57] Hmm, check your home directory ("~/"), the packages may have been downloaded there since you didn't use a terminal. [05:58] I checked the file and it only had #!/bin/sh and nothing else [06:00] O.o [06:01] You have Synaptic opened on computer 2? or computer 1 [06:02] yeah on both [06:04] Only need it on computer 1. [06:04] yep [06:05] wonder if I can get it on the packages site [06:06] You can, but Synaptic would pull in all of the dependencies. [06:07] that's one of the problems with all the dependencies. It's a huge web of dependencies you have to track down. [06:07] take forever [06:10] thanks for the help. I'll keep picking away at this. [07:05] hello anybody :P [07:10] Hi zkriesse [07:10] allo! [07:11] how thee be OutOfControl ? [07:12] Yeah [07:13] Uhm, that was akin to a: "How are you?" [07:14] allo sattu941 ! [07:14] zkriesse: Hi! :D [07:14] How thee be sattu941 ? [07:15] zkriesse: I be fine, how thy bee ? [07:15] Lol, you messed up just a tinge there... [07:15] * sattu941 sucks at whatever he is doing now. [07:15] It's Old English and no, you did not suck, you just need some practice! [07:15] zkriesse: Yes, maybe I do. [07:16] :P [07:16] no in this channel though [07:16] *not [07:17] hm. [07:17] We need more beginners here. [07:17] hobgoblin: Well apparently the #ubuntu-beginners-team channel is only for the bt team now... [07:17] no it's not [07:17] According to bodhi_zazen anyway [07:17] bt team ? [07:17] sattu941: This channel and other #ubuntu-beginners- channels are under the Ubuntu Beginners Team :) [07:18] oh. [07:18] 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] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam [07:19] wb zeroseven0183 [07:19] :-) [07:20] 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] rad [07:21] try ssh @grubblyplank.no-ip.org -p 24 [07:21] no thanks :P [07:22] :P [07:22] Will probably write a review for the noip2 package in Software Center soon. [07:24] Ah... the fun-ness of tech review/writing === hobgoblin is now known as elfy === elfy is now known as hobgoblin [14:43] Hi., === Guest97949 is now known as EvilJackyAlcine === EvilJackyAlcine is now known as Guest85587 === Guest85587 is now known as JackyAlcine === benonsoftware is now known as TLayMeeting === TLayMeeting is now known as benonsoftware === benonsoftware is now known as MeetBot-TL === MeetBot-TL is now known as benonsoftware === benonsoftware is now known as MeetBot-TL === MeetBot-TL is now known as bennosoftware === bennosoftware is now known as benonsoftware
