[02:13] <brock_f> Hi, I'm having some problems getting my airport extreme card to work in my iBook - can anyone help out with it?
[02:14] <brock_f> I installed the b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer packages but 'additional drivers' says it can't detect any proprietary drivers...
[02:17] <holstein> brock_f: open a terminal
[02:18] <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
[02:19] <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...
[02:20] <holstein> cool !
[02:20] <holstein> enjoy :)
[02:20] <brock_f> haha, thanks :)
[07:15] <deper29> hey guys, I ran PATH=~/bin:$PATH but I don't want that in my path, can I undo what I did?
[07:19] <Snicksie> good question deper29 :) should be easy, but let me think ^^
[07:19] <deper29> thanks :)
[07:21] <Unit193> Simple, close out that terminal and open a new one
[07:23] <Snicksie> hm, true Unit193 ><
[07:24] <deper29> that simple?
[07:25] <Unit193> Unless you added it to your profile or bashrc, and you'd have to edit files for that
[07:25] <deper29> gotcha
[07:25] <deper29> thanks :)
[07:26]  * Unit193 says Snicksie did all the work, and passes it off to her
[07:27] <Snicksie> combination Unit193 :o
[07:27] <deper29> the .bashrc file being in my home directory, right?
[07:27] <deper29> what would I be editing in there out of curiosity?
[07:29]  * Snicksie thinks ^^
[07:29] <Snicksie> aliases
[07:31] <deper29> that's starting to look a bit intimidating
[07:31] <Unit193> In my more basic one I have   PATH=$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
[07:32] <deper29> I might have to look into this a bit, see what I can't do
[07:33] <deper29> thanks for the help again, Unit193 and Snicksie :)
[07:34] <Unit193> Make sure to make a backup
[07:34] <Unit193> And sure
[07:35] <deper29> yeah, i learned the hard way many times ;)
[07:35] <deper29> have a good night!
[10:11] <JonathanRW> anyone around ? :-)
[10:12] <nothingspecial> what's up?

[13:39] <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.
[13:40] <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
[13:41] <ts2> unrar should do that for you
[13:41] <Snicksie> do you have the 'unrar' package?
[13:42] <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 :)
[13:44] <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"
[13:46] <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
[15:36] <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?
[15:38] <Snicksie> FischerFritz, I used rEFIt, but it seems to be possible without
[15:38] <Snicksie> lemme take a look
[15:39] <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
[15:41] <FischerFritz> I format the USB drive as fat-32 (master boot record), so it should do, or not?
[15:43] <geirha> You apparently need a specific partition table, GUID
[15:43] <geirha> According to the page Snicksie linked to
[15:44] <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.
[15:45] <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
[15:46] <geirha> By default, a "PC" harddrive will have an msdos partition table. This is also the default Ubuntu will use.
[15:47] <geirha> It appears Mac doesn't support booting from a drive with msdos paritition table.
[15:48] <FischerFritz> but rEFit does the job?
[15:58] <FischerFritz> ok, will give it a go, then. Thanks!
[15:58]  * Snicksie likes rEFIt :)
[19:49] <hobgoblin> hi haqking - long time :)
[19:49] <hobgoblin> do you want some help with something :D
[19:51] <haqking> hi piskie, yeah took a long xmas break from the forum and chat ;-)
[19:52] <hobgoblin> always good to take one of those :)
[19:52] <haqking> indeed, hope you had a good break
[19:52]  * hobgoblin wondered where you'd gone 
[19:52] <hobgoblin> I did thanks
[19:53] <hobgoblin> haqking: you should join the team channel if you want to chat though :)
[19:53] <haqking> well im never far away but been catching up on some personal projects that were overdue
[19:53] <hobgoblin> :)
[19:53] <haqking> which one
[19:54] <hobgoblin> it's #ubuntu-beginners-team
[19:54] <Unit193> :D
[19:54] <haqking> ahhh im already in ubuntu-beginners
[19:54] <haqking> didnt realise there was another one
[19:54] <hobgoblin> but ignore Unit193 in there haqking - yea - the team one is the 'chat' one this is mainly for support
[20:27] <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?
[20:29] <holstein> tsime: ?
[20:29] <holstein> i would just do an ubuntu install to the USB stick, putting grub there... and install the printer
[20:30] <holstein> not sure if the mint live CD makes you a USB with persistance or what exactly you are referencing
[20:31] <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
[20:32] <holstein> bodhi_zazen: i almost did ;)...
[20:33] <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
[20:34] <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.
[20:35] <holstein> tsime: you'll need to elaborate... im unclear how mint is remembering a printer config live
[20:36] <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
[20:37] <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
[20:38] <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
[20:39] <holstein> tsime: cool
[20:39] <holstein> maybe consider trimming down mint then
[20:40] <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
[20:41] <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
[20:43] <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?
[20:44] <holstein> if you want to build your own, build it with that printer option
[20:45] <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"
[20:46] <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...
[20:48] <holstein> you might find something on a forum somewhere... i would probably just try it
[20:49] <tsime> Ok thanks anyway.
[21:20] <JohnnyAppleseed_> Yooooooooo.
[21:21] <JohnnyAppleseed_> Nobody?
[21:21] <JohnnyAppleseed_> Alright.
[21:21] <JohnnyAppleseed_> That's cool.
[21:21] <JohnnyAppleseed_> Lingerers....
[22:47] <erik61> i love lamp
[22:47] <erik61> is anyone else in beckys class?
[22:48] <Jechs> Nope. Just you.
[22:48] <erik61> do
[22:48] <erik61> does any one wanna private chat ;-)

[23:39] <stepnjump> I cannot see my cd rom mounted under nautilus
[23:39] <stepnjump> yet I have a cd in it
[23:40] <stepnjump> I even looked in fdisk -l ... nothing.. not even in /dev!
[23:45] <bodhi_zazen> what sort of CD ?
[23:45] <bodhi_zazen>  /media is the default location
[23:46] <stepnjump> It's Quicken CD for windows. It used to work bodhi_zazen
[23:47] <stepnjump> bodhi_zazen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/803582/
[23:47] <stepnjump> oh /media! I thought it was in /dev!
[23:47] <stepnjump> would you mind telling me how to add it to my fstab bodhi_zazen  please
[23:48] <stepnjump> so next time I don't have to mount it manually?
[23:48] <bodhi_zazen> It should mount automatically or via nautilus
[23:49] <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
[23:50] <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] <stepnjump> right ok... I assumed because it's in /media it was mounted
[23:50] <stepnjump> let me try to mount it manually brb
[23:50] <stepnjump> tnx fer your help
[23:52] <stepnjump> bodhi_zazen: NAT-8:/media$ sudo mount /media/cdrom /media/cdrom1
[23:52] <stepnjump> mount: /media/cdrom is not a block device
[23:53] <bodhi_zazen> mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
[23:54] <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
[23:55] <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
[23:56] <stepnjump> thats a good idea
[23:58] <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
[23:59] <stepnjump> Well thanks. I will try to reboot
[23:59] <stepnjump> thanks for your help
