| bobweaver | hello there I just got a new job and the boss is going to let me use ubuntu on my work computer. So I am writing a script to use after I install with certain applicaations on them. I got down all the ones that I am using from ubuntu repos and others but I am having trouble with virtual box. My question is a sudo one when I do say : sudo wget --output-document= What is the user that sudo is using is it still you way I ask is | 15:41 |
|---|---|---|
| bobweaver | like this sudo wget --output-document=/home/$USER/some-dir so it dont go to roots home dir | 15:41 |
| bobweaver | or does sudo still uses /home/some-user/ | 15:42 |
| Sidewinder1 | bobweaver, I'm certainly no expert, when it comes to CLI;.. but if you want a good resource for scripting, please try here: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ | 15:44 |
| * SEABird needs help getting rid of grub2 on dual boot laptop | 15:44 | |
| Sidewinder1 | On a side note, gksudo, for GUI, apps; sudo, for the rest.. :D | 15:44 |
| bobweaver | I guess I will just try and see what happenes | 15:45 |
| bobweaver | SEABird: do you want BURG ? | 15:45 |
| Sidewinder1 | As long as everything's backed-up, try away! | 15:46 |
| SEABird | Have Acronis Boot Manager on most of my machines | 15:46 |
| bobweaver | ahh not sure what that is | 15:46 |
| bobweaver | SEABird: so grub is getting in the way of Acronis Boot Manager ? | 15:48 |
| SEABird | Acronis is a multiplatform partition backup program and includes neat boot manager with GUI that allows for more than 4 primaries while hiding unused | 15:49 |
| SEABird | Think both will fight each other and and grub is too difficult to see on small laptops | 15:50 |
| LemonAid | I wireless went down for no apparent reason. I tried ifup/down /etc/netwroking restart ,services netwrok-manager restart. Nothing worked. Only a reboot helped. Any ideas how i could identify the problem? | 15:51 |
| LemonAid | *my | 15:51 |
| SEABird | Is there anyway to manage grub to get rid of Windows recovery partitions ( have 2)? | 15:52 |
| LemonAid | What do you mean by "get rid of"? | 15:52 |
| bobweaver | LemonAid: please open terminal and enter lspci -nn | grep Wireless && lsmod && rfkill list all and paste back using http://paste.ubuntu.com | 15:53 |
| SEABird | Or make it larger to see and choose s/u options? | 15:53 |
| SEABird | I am really new at this | 15:53 |
| bobweaver | SEABird:are you daul or triple booting ? | 15:53 |
| LemonAid | SEABird, Grub is a boot manager. It won`t modify partitions. You need a partition manager. | 15:54 |
| SEABird | just dual but laptop has a Win7 recovery partition and a Win7 repair partition, then Win 7 and then Ubuntu | 15:55 |
| LemonAid | bobweaver, http://pastebin.com/rzgXTkj7 | 15:56 |
| SEABird | Don't need to change partitions for trial installed Ubuntu on 40 GB free space | 15:57 |
| LemonAid | SEABird, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Remove all the recovery partitions, or just have them not shown at boot time? | 15:57 |
| bobweaver | LemonAid: Could I see a dmesg | grep 819 | 15:59 |
| SEABird | Just have Win7 as default boot (sorry guys but that my bread and $$$ - Windows support) then have some longer time to choose Ubuntu while I learn | 15:59 |
| * SEABird mutters "Is the a #wantstobeabeginner channel?" | 16:00 | |
| LemonAid | bobweaver, http://pastebin.com/aivqcdEw | 16:01 |
| bobweaver | LemonAid: sudo modprobe r8192se_pci | 16:02 |
| bobweaver | then dmesg | grep 819 again | 16:02 |
| LemonAid | SEABird, http://tinyurl.com/d786ok2 This should help you. | 16:02 |
| LemonAid | bobweaver, http://pastebin.com/Qyv3q2iP | 16:04 |
| LemonAid | SEABird, alternatively you can try and install Burg, it`s a manager for Grub. With a nice interface and all that. You may find it more to your liking. | 16:05 |
| bobweaver | LemonAid: 64 or 32 bit ? | 16:06 |
| LemonAid | Burg will let you set the default os to boot into, and also have the option to restore your grub/winboot (from what i recall). | 16:06 |
| LemonAid | bobweaver, 64 | 16:07 |
| bobweaver | LemonAid: lsb_release -a && uname -a | 16:08 |
| SEABird | Thank I will continue reading and try to come to some agreement between me and me laptop | 16:09 |
| LemonAid | bobweaver, http://pastebin.com/4RxCtdPC | 16:09 |
| bobweaver | LemonAid: too options compat-wireless or the one from the site either way time to compile which do you want | 16:10 |
| LemonAid | bobweaver, what you`re saying is that my driver is at fault? | 16:11 |
| bobweaver | See post #23 down http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1703443&page=3 | 16:11 |
| bobweaver | Yes LemonAid | 16:11 |
| LemonAid | Will check it out. Thanx for the help :) | 16:11 |
| bobweaver | Cool compat will also help you out either way | 16:12 |
| bobweaver | http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download | 16:12 |
| LemonAid | bobweaver, always a good thing to have additional resources. | 16:13 |
| bobweaver | :D | 16:13 |
| bobweaver | LemonAid: Let me know how it works out | 16:14 |
| LemonAid | Will do. | 16:14 |
| LemonAid | bobweaver, it would appear that the firmware change worked. Now it remains to be seen, but things look promising. :) | 16:27 |
| bobweaver | good | 16:27 |
| bobweaver | so you now have wifi again ? | 16:27 |
| LemonAid | Well, i had when i asked for help the first time. I just did not know why my wifi crashed and i couldn`t get the connection back up without a restart. | 16:28 |
| LemonAid | A system restart. | 16:28 |
| LemonAid | Time to do some reading on the commands you told me to run :D | 16:29 |
| bobweaver | LemonAid: wifi can be funny at times with firmware it seems that it sometimes just gives out. wich is not good basic with wifi that I know is look at the card and see what driver "modual" that you need. then see if it is loaded the modual/driver using the command lsmod if it is there then run command rfkill list all if it is hard blocked(outside switch ) fix by turning switch on or soft blocked (sotware blocked ) run rfkill unblock | 16:35 |
| bobweaver | all if it is all no on rfkill then it is usally firmware that is causeing troubles | 16:35 |
| bobweaver | you can also see what a modual/driver is by running the command modinfo <name of moduals > Notice the depends area and the firmware that it needs | 16:36 |
| LemonAid | bobweaver, thanx for the mini guide. It does make sense now now that i follow it, i see that i have a lot of other useless modules/drivers for a lot of other network cards. | 16:44 |
| bobweaver | just be carefull somethimes the can get in the way of loading a different one to remove a modual we use the command rmmod <name of modual > then we load the other with the command modprobe <name of modual> most of these commands need sudo | 16:46 |
| LemonAid | I guess, that when i installed Ubuntu, it installed a lot of additional drivers to cover a wide range of cards. O well. | 16:46 |
| bobweaver | Yes jockey-gtk (additional drivers) can sometimes load the worng mods and the same with thye linux kernel | 16:47 |
| LemonAid | I did read on those exact 2 commands just now since i was curious what they did. I will of course be careful while using them. | 16:48 |
| bobweaver | time to file bugs when that happens so deveolpers can fix | 16:48 |
| bobweaver | the devolpers help the end users and the end users help the developers = non subjugated people | 16:50 |
| bobweaver | :D | 16:50 |
| LemonAid | :)) | 16:50 |
