| bnmorgan | In tinkering and getting ready for raspberry pi that will be here (in june) i installed ubuntu in a VM, and it seems to be working, but i have one main problem | 04:09 |
|---|---|---|
| bnmorgan | what do i do with it? I mean, I need some purpose for it....it seems straight forward enough that I don't really know what niche it fills that I need it for. | 04:10 |
| philipballew | well I use it to do everything I need for a computer | 04:12 |
| philipballew | what do you do with your computer currently bnmorgan | 04:12 |
| bnmorgan | unfortunatly due to my cad program, that isn't really an option for me. | 04:12 |
| philipballew | because it can probably do most all of that, plus diffrent things | 04:13 |
| bnmorgan | engineering with a particular cad program that isn't linux friendly. | 04:13 |
| philipballew | yeah, but you probably do other things as well. it can do that | 04:13 |
| bnmorgan | have been begging for a linux version of it since i started using it 14 years ago | 04:13 |
| philipballew | autocad? | 04:13 |
| bnmorgan | right, i surf, play a few games, btc/gpu mining, and that's about it. | 04:14 |
| bnmorgan | no, solidworks. | 04:14 |
| philipballew | bitcoin huh? | 04:14 |
| philipballew | is that profitable? | 04:14 |
| bnmorgan | i even installed ubuntu a while back as a separate OS, but it was just too big a PITA to reboot when i needed cad. | 04:15 |
| Unit193 | You can stick screen and alpine, irssi, newsbeuter, canto, or anything else on there and set it atop your router. | 04:15 |
| bnmorgan | (and now i can't figure out how to undo that or remove its propensity to wantt to autoboot into linux) | 04:15 |
| Unit193 | Edit /etc/default/grub for that. | 04:15 |
| Unit193 | Also you can boot from a windows rescue disk and run `fixmbr` to remove Grub and then you should be able to remove that partition. | 04:16 |
| bnmorgan | btc: yes, even with my slow card, i am profitable | 04:16 |
| bnmorgan | i don't have a rescue disk, but will boot to the other side and come back when i have time and request direct instructions | 04:17 |
| bnmorgan | not tonight, it's afer 2200 hrs and i am nearing braindead | 04:17 |
| bnmorgan | ok, what are you talking about setting on my router? | 04:17 |
| Unit193 | Sticking the pi and directly plug it in. :P | 04:20 |
| bnmorgan | ohh, i'm not that far along yet. | 04:21 |
| bnmorgan | i'm talking about what to do with ubuntu in the meantime, the one i have running in VM | 04:22 |
| Unit193 | Whatever you like. | 04:23 |
| Unit193 | Install pianobar for one. ;) | 04:23 |
| bnmorgan | i don't see a pianobar | 04:35 |
| bnmorgan | i see pithos which is listed in reference | 04:36 |
| bnmorgan | meh, tomorrow maybe | 04:37 |
| bnmorgan | gnight and thanks for the info | 04:37 |
| Unit193 | ubot2`: !info pianobar | 04:38 |
| Unit193 | Right, good night! | 04:38 |
| izpele | hello not sure if this is the right channel. But having problems with getting 11.10 to recognize my brother scanner. I run brsaneconfig -q and it does show my scanner but when i run scan program it doesn't find scanner? | 05:03 |
| izpele | Hello, having problem with Brother scanner, anyone have any experience with gettin g 11.10 to recognize scanner? Printer works fine, but scanner does not recognize from scan util | 05:05 |
| holstein | izpele: how is it connected? USB? | 05:06 |
| izpele | wired network | 05:06 |
| holstein | i would try via USB, just to have "some joy" | 05:07 |
| izpele | lol... i would need a long usb cord | 05:07 |
| holstein | network scanning might be more tricky... last time i looked at one, where was a web interface | 05:07 |
| izpele | I am able to log on to web interface of scanner no prob thru browser.. | 05:09 |
| izpele | the scanner is even recognized by brsaneconfig -q command.. but software doesn't find | 05:10 |
| holstein | izpele: the webinterface im referencing allows scanning through it | 05:11 |
| holstein | what scanner is it? | 05:12 |
| izpele | 7820N | 05:12 |
| izpele | MFC | 05:12 |
| holstein | so, you are *not* going to take the thing over and plug it in via USB to troubleshoot? | 05:15 |
| holstein | you are referencing http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/MFC-7820N ? | 05:16 |
| izpele | yes | 05:16 |
| holstein | izpele: i would start at "scanner" and just follow the steps | 05:18 |
| izpele | i did.. everything checks out.. get the right responses and confirmation of installed scanner but scanner utils don't recognize it. using 64 bit version of 11.10.. not sure if that makes a diff | 05:19 |
| holstein | could | 05:19 |
| holstein | i choose my battles typically | 05:20 |
| holstein | if there is not web interface to scan with, i would seriously plug it in and check | 05:20 |
| holstein | i would also try with some live CD's | 05:20 |
| holstein | try a 32bit 10.04 CD.. see if you can get it working, then you'll be more preparded | 05:20 |
| holstein | prepared* | 05:20 |
| izpele | hmm.. ok, i'll keep trying, thanks for your help. | 05:21 |
| izpele | holstein - got it working! | 05:33 |
| izpele | anyone who is using 64 bit 11.10 and trying to get network scanning working this is what i used: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1874323 | 05:36 |
| nlsthzn | cool, always nice to see the forum being of assistance :) | 05:37 |
| goodboy678 | Hi, how do I work with RAW files on GIMP in Ubuntu 12.04? | 09:03 |
| philipballew | goodboy678, good question | 09:05 |

| philipballew | #gimp would know probably | 09:06 |

| ubustudent | Can I set up a ubuntu server as a PDC on a small LAN and expect to be also an exchange type server as well as a file server and be able to administer it with a gui? The LAN has no internet connection and we want to keep it that way. | 13:22 |
