[04:09] 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 [04:10] 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. [04:12] well I use it to do everything I need for a computer [04:12] what do you do with your computer currently bnmorgan [04:12] unfortunatly due to my cad program, that isn't really an option for me. [04:13] because it can probably do most all of that, plus diffrent things [04:13] engineering with a particular cad program that isn't linux friendly. [04:13] yeah, but you probably do other things as well. it can do that [04:13] have been begging for a linux version of it since i started using it 14 years ago [04:13] autocad? [04:14] right, i surf, play a few games, btc/gpu mining, and that's about it. [04:14] no, solidworks. [04:14] bitcoin huh? [04:14] is that profitable? [04:15] 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] You can stick screen and alpine, irssi, newsbeuter, canto, or anything else on there and set it atop your router. [04:15] (and now i can't figure out how to undo that or remove its propensity to wantt to autoboot into linux) [04:15] Edit /etc/default/grub for that. [04:16] 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] btc: yes, even with my slow card, i am profitable [04:17] 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] not tonight, it's afer 2200 hrs and i am nearing braindead [04:17] ok, what are you talking about setting on my router? [04:20] Sticking the pi and directly plug it in. :P [04:21] ohh, i'm not that far along yet. [04:22] i'm talking about what to do with ubuntu in the meantime, the one i have running in VM [04:23] Whatever you like. [04:23] Install pianobar for one. ;) [04:35] i don't see a pianobar [04:36] i see pithos which is listed in reference [04:37] meh, tomorrow maybe [04:37] gnight and thanks for the info [04:38] ubot2`: !info pianobar [04:38] Right, good night! [05:03] 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? [05:05] 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 [05:06] izpele: how is it connected? USB? [05:06] wired network [05:07] i would try via USB, just to have "some joy" [05:07] lol... i would need a long usb cord [05:07] network scanning might be more tricky... last time i looked at one, where was a web interface [05:09] I am able to log on to web interface of scanner no prob thru browser.. [05:10] the scanner is even recognized by brsaneconfig -q command.. but software doesn't find [05:11] izpele: the webinterface im referencing allows scanning through it [05:12] what scanner is it? [05:12] 7820N [05:12] MFC [05:15] so, you are *not* going to take the thing over and plug it in via USB to troubleshoot? [05:16] you are referencing http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/MFC-7820N ? [05:16] yes [05:18] izpele: i would start at "scanner" and just follow the steps [05:19] 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] could [05:20] i choose my battles typically [05:20] if there is not web interface to scan with, i would seriously plug it in and check [05:20] i would also try with some live CD's [05:20] try a 32bit 10.04 CD.. see if you can get it working, then you'll be more preparded [05:20] prepared* [05:21] hmm.. ok, i'll keep trying, thanks for your help. [05:33] holstein - got it working! [05:36] 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 [05:37] cool, always nice to see the forum being of assistance :) [09:03] Hi, how do I work with RAW files on GIMP in Ubuntu 12.04? [09:05] goodboy678, good question [09:05] I think UFRAW cuts it.. [09:06] #gimp would know probably [10:28] Heil. [13:22] 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. === sattu94 is now known as satyanash [13:44] Hi [13:45] o/ [13:45] ashickur-noor, halo [13:45] need help to boot Ubuntu UEFI enable PC [13:45] scriptwarlock: hi [13:47] ashickur-noor, some readings https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting [13:47] Checking [13:54] but i was thinking only wubi can be successfuly installed in a uefi enabled laptop [13:55] never tried it though === nlsthzn is now known as not_found [16:56] I am going for a run.
