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] like this sudo wget --output-document=/home/$USER/some-dir so it dont go to roots home dir [15:42] or does sudo still uses /home/some-user/ [15:44] 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] On a side note, gksudo, for GUI, apps; sudo, for the rest.. :D [15:45] I guess I will just try and see what happenes [15:45] SEABird: do you want BURG ? [15:46] As long as everything's backed-up, try away! [15:46] Have Acronis Boot Manager on most of my machines [15:46] ahh not sure what that is [15:48] SEABird: so grub is getting in the way of Acronis Boot Manager ? [15:49] Acronis is a multiplatform partition backup program and includes neat boot manager with GUI that allows for more than 4 primaries while hiding unused [15:50] Think both will fight each other and and grub is too difficult to see on small laptops [15:51] 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] *my [15:52] Is there anyway to manage grub to get rid of Windows recovery partitions ( have 2)? [15:52] What do you mean by "get rid of"? [15:53] LemonAid: please open terminal and enter lspci -nn | grep Wireless && lsmod && rfkill list all and paste back using http://paste.ubuntu.com [15:53] Or make it larger to see and choose s/u options? [15:53] I am really new at this [15:53] SEABird:are you daul or triple booting ? [15:54] SEABird, Grub is a boot manager. It won`t modify partitions. You need a partition manager. [15:55] just dual but laptop has a Win7 recovery partition and a Win7 repair partition, then Win 7 and then Ubuntu [15:56] bobweaver, http://pastebin.com/rzgXTkj7 [15:57] Don't need to change partitions for trial installed Ubuntu on 40 GB free space [15:57] SEABird, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Remove all the recovery partitions, or just have them not shown at boot time? [15:59] LemonAid: Could I see a dmesg | grep 819 [15:59] 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 [16:00] * SEABird mutters "Is the a #wantstobeabeginner channel?" [16:01] bobweaver, http://pastebin.com/aivqcdEw [16:02] LemonAid: sudo modprobe r8192se_pci [16:02] then dmesg | grep 819 again [16:02] SEABird, http://tinyurl.com/d786ok2 This should help you. [16:04] bobweaver, http://pastebin.com/Qyv3q2iP [16:05] 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. [16:06] LemonAid: 64 or 32 bit ? [16:06] 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). [16:07] bobweaver, 64 [16:08] LemonAid: lsb_release -a && uname -a [16:09] Thank I will continue reading and try to come to some agreement between me and me laptop [16:09] bobweaver, http://pastebin.com/4RxCtdPC [16:10] LemonAid: too options compat-wireless or the one from the site either way time to compile which do you want [16:11] bobweaver, what you`re saying is that my driver is at fault? [16:11] See post #23 down http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1703443&page=3 [16:11] Yes LemonAid [16:11] Will check it out. Thanx for the help :) [16:12] Cool compat will also help you out either way [16:12] http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download [16:13] bobweaver, always a good thing to have additional resources. [16:13] :D [16:14] LemonAid: Let me know how it works out [16:14] Will do. [16:27] bobweaver, it would appear that the firmware change worked. Now it remains to be seen, but things look promising. :) [16:27] good [16:27] so you now have wifi again ? [16:28] 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] A system restart. [16:29] Time to do some reading on the commands you told me to run :D [16:35] 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] all if it is all no on rfkill then it is usally firmware that is causeing troubles [16:36] you can also see what a modual/driver is by running the command modinfo Notice the depends area and the firmware that it needs [16:44] 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. [16:46] just be carefull somethimes the can get in the way of loading a different one to remove a modual we use the command rmmod then we load the other with the command modprobe most of these commands need sudo [16:46] I guess, that when i installed Ubuntu, it installed a lot of additional drivers to cover a wide range of cards. O well. [16:47] Yes jockey-gtk (additional drivers) can sometimes load the worng mods and the same with thye linux kernel [16:48] 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] time to file bugs when that happens so deveolpers can fix [16:50] the devolpers help the end users and the end users help the developers = non subjugated people [16:50] :D [16:50] :)) [18:22] hey, im sitting here with a problem, that is transmission update nad its blocklist-related, that im not able to solve for myself [18:23] is there anyone who can help?
