| brock_f | Hi, I'm having some problems getting my airport extreme card to work in my iBook - can anyone help out with it? | 02:13 |
|---|---|---|
| brock_f | I installed the b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer packages but 'additional drivers' says it can't detect any proprietary drivers... | 02:14 |
| holstein | brock_f: open a terminal | 02:17 |
| holstein | run lspci | 02:18 |
| holstein | see if you see the device mentioned in the list | 02:18 |
| brock_f | BCM4318 | 02:18 |
| holstein | see if you have any way to disable the device via hardware... shortcut keys or a switch | 02:18 |
| holstein | i typically just install firmware-b43-installer and it 'just works' | 02:19 |
| holstein | have you rebooted? | 02:19 |
| holstein | you might need to... | 02:19 |
| brock_f | oh, man, it actually just started working... | 02:19 |
| holstein | cool ! | 02:20 |
| holstein | enjoy :) | 02:20 |
| brock_f | haha, thanks :) | 02:20 |
| deper29 | hey guys, I ran PATH=~/bin:$PATH but I don't want that in my path, can I undo what I did? | 07:15 |
| Snicksie | good question deper29 :) should be easy, but let me think ^^ | 07:19 |
| deper29 | thanks :) | 07:19 |
| Unit193 | Simple, close out that terminal and open a new one | 07:21 |
| === tenach_ is now known as tenach | ||
| Snicksie | hm, true Unit193 >< | 07:23 |
| deper29 | that simple? | 07:24 |
| Unit193 | Unless you added it to your profile or bashrc, and you'd have to edit files for that | 07:25 |
| deper29 | gotcha | 07:25 |
| deper29 | thanks :) | 07:25 |
| * Unit193 says Snicksie did all the work, and passes it off to her | 07:26 | |
| Snicksie | combination Unit193 :o | 07:27 |
| deper29 | the .bashrc file being in my home directory, right? | 07:27 |
| deper29 | what would I be editing in there out of curiosity? | 07:27 |
| * Snicksie thinks ^^ | 07:29 | |
| Snicksie | aliases | 07:29 |
| deper29 | that's starting to look a bit intimidating | 07:31 |
| Unit193 | In my more basic one I have PATH=$PATH:/home/unit193/bin | 07:31 |
| Snicksie | extra permanent variables, like gpgkey, debfullname, debemail (thats useful for developing, they use that variables for changelogs, so you don't need to change everything yourself | 07:31 |
| Unit193 | It's not hard really, just have to give it time | 07:31 |
| deper29 | I might have to look into this a bit, see what I can't do | 07:32 |
| deper29 | thanks for the help again, Unit193 and Snicksie :) | 07:33 |
| Unit193 | Make sure to make a backup | 07:34 |
| Unit193 | And sure | 07:34 |
| deper29 | yeah, i learned the hard way many times ;) | 07:35 |
| deper29 | have a good night! | 07:35 |

| eyadof | hi ! i have a rar file with a password is there a way to unzip it from terminal ? | 13:39 |
| fr33r1d3 | eyadof: get the password. | 13:39 |
| eyadof | i have it | 13:40 |
| eyadof | i want to unzip it | 13:40 |
| eyadof | automatically | 13:40 |
| Snicksie | eyadof, should be possible afaik | 13:40 |
| Snicksie | lemme see | 13:40 |
| ts2 | unrar should do that for you | 13:41 |
| Snicksie | do you have the 'unrar' package? | 13:41 |
| Snicksie | -p is the password switch | 13:42 |
| Snicksie | http://linux.die.net/man/1/unrar | 13:42 |
| * ts2 informs you of http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ | 13:42 | |
| Snicksie | ah, even better :) | 13:42 |
| eyadof | Snicksie: it's ask me the password i want to be auto , is there any way ? | 13:44 |
| ts2 | it shouldn't ask you for the password if you use the -p option | 13:44 |
| ts2 | like "unrar e -pMyPassword somefile.rar" | 13:44 |
| eyadof | ah ok there isn't a space between -p and the password | 13:46 |
| eyadof | its work now | 13:46 |
| eyadof | thanks all | 13:46 |
| ts2 | yeah, it's an odd command like that | 13:46 |

| FischerFritz | I want to boot my macbook into ubuntu 11.10 from an usb drive. I managed to get the iso right, but it wouldn't boot. Has anybody done this successfully without installing rEFIt? | 15:36 |
| Snicksie | FischerFritz, I used rEFIt, but it seems to be possible without | 15:38 |
| Snicksie | lemme take a look | 15:38 |
| Snicksie | if im correct, you should be able to choose whatever device you want to boot from with the 'option' key | 15:39 |
| Snicksie | http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1948 | 15:39 |
| FischerFritz | the problem i am encountering is that it I only have the option to boot from the internal drive and the recovery drive, but the usb image is not listed | 15:39 |
| FischerFritz | I format the USB drive as fat-32 (master boot record), so it should do, or not? | 15:41 |
| geirha | You apparently need a specific partition table, GUID | 15:43 |
| geirha | According to the page Snicksie linked to | 15:43 |
| Snicksie | yeah, they want a GPT-table... don't know exactly how to do that tbh... :p | 15:44 |
| geirha | GNU parted should be ablo to change the partition table to that, but I doubt the current partitions will survive it. | 15:44 |
| FischerFritz | but in the article it is stated that this is for booting OSX, elsewhere I thought I read something about formatting the usb for ubuntu as fat-23 | 15:45 |
| FischerFritz | -32 | 15:45 |
| geirha | By default, a "PC" harddrive will have an msdos partition table. This is also the default Ubuntu will use. | 15:46 |
| geirha | It appears Mac doesn't support booting from a drive with msdos paritition table. | 15:47 |
| FischerFritz | but rEFit does the job? | 15:48 |
| FischerFritz | ok, will give it a go, then. Thanks! | 15:58 |
| * Snicksie likes rEFIt :) | 15:58 | |

| hobgoblin | always good to take one of those :) | 19:52 |
| haqking | indeed, hope you had a good break | 19:52 |

| hobgoblin | I did thanks | 19:52 |
| hobgoblin | haqking: you should join the team channel if you want to chat though :) | 19:53 |

| tsime | hi guys. Does anybody know how to make 11.10 running from live-usb to auto setup a printer at startup like linux-mint does? | 20:27 |
| holstein | tsime: ? | 20:29 |
| holstein | i would just do an ubuntu install to the USB stick, putting grub there... and install the printer | 20:29 |
| === Alcine is now known as jalcine | ||
| holstein | not sure if the mint live CD makes you a USB with persistance or what exactly you are referencing | 20:30 |
| bodhi_zazen | did someone say persistence ? | 20:31 |
| tsime | Thanks holstein. I have a custom live-usb made with remastersys from my desktop. I work with stick on multiple pcs and is annoying to have to setup the printer manualy. Linux-mint does it automatically at startup but is too bloated | 20:31 |
| bodhi_zazen | tsime: an ubuntu live usb is almost exactly the same as making a mint usb | 20:31 |
| holstein | bodhi_zazen: i almost did ;)... | 20:32 |
| === bladernr_ is now known as bladernr_afk | ||
| holstein | if you set up ubuntu to use the persistant space, it will | 20:33 |
| holstein | same as mint.. i would just do a normal install | 20:33 |
| tsime | Persistence is not an option. I want nothing wrong to happen to my working stick. It's well done configured until auto printer setup. | 20:34 |
| holstein | tsime: you'll need to elaborate... im unclear how mint is remembering a printer config live | 20:35 |
| holstein | if you did a remastersys of mint with the printer configured, just do that from ubuntu | 20:36 |
| tsime | No not remember. It just finds out during startup the connected printer and it configures it with no question from me. | 20:36 |
| holstein | tsime: maybe you are talking about different versions | 20:36 |
| holstein | maybe look and see what version of ubuntu the verion of mint you are using is derived from | 20:37 |
| holstein | consider trying to use that version | 20:37 |
| tsime | I believe it has to do with system-config-printer-udev but i don't know how to set it up on ubuntu to act the same as mint | 20:38 |
| holstein | tsime: you wont be able to, and make it persistent | 20:38 |
| holstein | you'll need to remastersys you an ubuntu version like that | 20:38 |
| tsime | Alll version of mint haw the feature to auto config printer | 20:38 |
| holstein | tsime: cool | 20:39 |
| holstein | maybe consider trimming down mint then | 20:39 |
| tsime | I' ve already did that. I just want to have my private distro out of ubuntu-minimal iso | 20:40 |
| holstein | nice... maybe you can remastersys you one that does what you want | 20:40 |
| holstein | or maybe find another ubuntu based distro that is closer to what you want... peppermint OS for example | 20:41 |
| Unit193 | BodhiLinux for E17 | 20:41 |
| tsime | Thanks but if speaking of choosing something else to ubuntu then i'll stay with mint | 20:43 |
| holstein | tsime: ok... im unclear on what the issue is? | 20:43 |
| holstein | if you want to build your own, build it with that printer option | 20:44 |
| tsime | With custom live-usb mint to any different pc i work the setup of the local different printers is done by mint during startup automatically. I want to know how to add this feature to my ubuntu-minimal based "distro" | 20:45 |
| holstein | sure... go for it.. i think you could be right about the system-config-printer settings | 20:46 |
| holstein | only one way to know for sure | 20:46 |
| tsime | Any topics to look at... | 20:46 |
| holstein | you might find something on a forum somewhere... i would probably just try it | 20:48 |
| tsime | Ok thanks anyway. | 20:49 |

| bodhi_zazen | /media is the default location | 23:45 |

| stepnjump | would you mind telling me how to add it to my fstab bodhi_zazen please | 23:47 |
| === Ukikie is now known as Guest91153 | ||
| stepnjump | so next time I don't have to mount it manually? | 23:48 |
| bodhi_zazen | It should mount automatically or via nautilus | 23:48 |
| bodhi_zazen | If you *must* /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto users 0 0 | 23:49 |
| stepnjump | well it used to! | 23:49 |
| bodhi_zazen | /dev/cdrom could be /dev/cdrom0 or /dev/sr0 | 23:49 |
| stepnjump | I have 2 cdroms though... | 23:49 |
| stepnjump | oh ok | 23:49 |
| bodhi_zazen | Add 2 entries in fstab =) | 23:49 |
| stepnjump | Well this is not good news | 23:49 |
| stepnjump | when I go to /media/cdrom and do a ls, nothing is in there | 23:50 |
| bodhi_zazen | is it mounted ? | 23:50 |
| stepnjump | but I guess it's not mounted yet right? | 23:50 |

| === Guest91153 is now known as Unit193 | ||
| stepnjump | let me try to mount it manually brb | 23:50 |
| stepnjump | tnx fer your help | 23:50 |
| stepnjump | bodhi_zazen: NAT-8:/media$ sudo mount /media/cdrom /media/cdrom1 | 23:52 |
| stepnjump | mount: /media/cdrom is not a block device | 23:52 |
| bodhi_zazen | mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom | 23:53 |
| stepnjump | mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist | 23:54 |
| stepnjump | it's not even showing in fdisk -l | 23:54 |
| bodhi_zazen | You will have to try cdrom0 , cdrom1, sr0 ... | 23:54 |
| bodhi_zazen | Of course you might have a hardware problem | 23:54 |
| stepnjump | of course.. but it always worked ok | 23:54 |
| stepnjump | I might try to reboot | 23:55 |
| bodhi_zazen | Does not mean it always will | 23:55 |
| stepnjump | true | 23:55 |
| stepnjump | but both! | 23:55 |
| bodhi_zazen | CD go bad, cdrom / cables go loose | 23:55 |
| stepnjump | at the same time? | 23:55 |
| stepnjump | I'll try different CD | 23:55 |
| stepnjump | thats a good idea | 23:56 |
| stepnjump | Would that help to kick start it by putting it in my fstab bodhi_zazen | 23:58 |
| bodhi_zazen | robably not | 23:58 |
| stepnjump | ok | 23:58 |
