| dizzylizzy | hmm | 03:47 |
| dizzylizzy | i have not used ubuntu in almost a year, how is 12.04? | 03:47 |
| dizzylizzy | stability-wise | 03:47 |
| stlsaint | dizzylizzy: stable | 04:07 |
| stlsaint | even lts worthy stable | 04:07 |
| dizzylizzy | excellent :) | 04:14 |
| purchaser_ | Hello! I have a CPU/Memory question: I would like this cpu: Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-3610QM (2.30GHz) 6MB. The memory I would get for it would be 16GB SAMSUNG 1333MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (4 x 4GB). | 05:52 |
| purchaser_ | Here is my question: would it be very much a good idea to change to memory to: 16GB SAMSUNG 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (2 x 8GB) | 05:53 |
| purchaser_ | or even 32GB SAMSUNG 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (4 x 8GB) | 05:54 |
| stlsaint | hey | 05:54 |
| stlsaint | purchaser_: why change? | 05:55 |
| purchaser_ | for a new laptop | 05:55 |
| purchaser_ | thank you stlsaint | 05:55 |
| purchaser_ | which speed does the cpu work at? I want the memory to be in synch with the speed of the processor | 05:56 |
| stlsaint | wouldnt it be 2.30Ghz? | 05:57 |
| purchaser_ | that is what i was thinking, but i don't know if it is that simple | 05:58 |
| stlsaint | well your memory isn't going to be utilized until its needed so how can you compare ram speed against cpu? maybe im missing something. Been awhile since took A+ | 05:58 |
| purchaser_ | I am at the moment most concerned about the speed of the memory. I am not really focusing on the quantity of memory i need right now. | 05:59 |
| purchaser_ | Only very few applications would ever need so much memory at the moment, perhaps virtualization applications like VirtualBox | 06:00 |
| stlsaint | true | 06:02 |
| stlsaint | and a bunch of open tabs in browser | 06:02 |
| purchaser_ | I had about 20 open tabs in my browser and it wasn't even using one gigabyte of memory | 06:02 |
| stlsaint | with 20 tabs plus IRC im at 45% ram use of 4gb | 06:07 |
| benonsoftware | 3 tabs use all of my 2GB of RAM | 06:18 |
| stlsaint | lol | 06:18 |
| stlsaint | thats not good | 06:18 |
| benonsoftware | Well 1.75GB of RAM | 06:19 |
| HiddenSanity | So... newbie question time! I want to download a free program, they have windows and mac versions, but for linux they just provide the source code and tell you to compile it yourself(for now). This a reasonably easy feat? I downloaded the latest QT as it was said I'd need at least QT4.6 | 07:13 |
| JoseeAntonioR | HiddenSanity: So, what are you trying to compile again? | 07:20 |
| HiddenSanity | Cockatrice | 07:21 |
| JoseeAntonioR | HiddenSanity: Have you already extracted the code in a folder in your home folder? | 07:21 |
| HiddenSanity | Yes. | 07:21 |
| JoseeAntonioR | HiddenSanity: Please, open a Terminal and cd to the directory. | 07:22 |
| HiddenSanity | I'm afraid I'm gonna need to learn that, too... | 07:25 |
| HiddenSanity | Is it just CD [path]? | 07:25 |
| JoseeAntonioR | HiddenSanity: Yes, with cd in not-capital letters. | 07:26 |
| JoseeAntonioR | s/not/non | 07:26 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Once you have, issue "/.configure" and then "make && sudo make install", both without quotes. | 07:29 |
| HiddenSanity | Err... so terminal command should look like: cd /home/folder/folder? | 07:29 |
| JoseeAntonioR | HiddenSanity: or just "cd ~/foldernamewhichisinhome/" | 07:30 |
| HiddenSanity | Ah... | 07:31 |
| HiddenSanity | Does the '&&' represent something? Or is that literally what I issue? | 07:32 |
| JoseeAntonioR | HiddenSanity: Literally | 07:32 |
| HiddenSanity | Hmmm... and the '/.configure' doesn't seem to work literally entered, some idiot mistake I'm making there? | 07:33 |
| HiddenSanity | bash: /.configure: no such file or directory | 07:34 |
| JoseeAntonioR | HiddenSanity: Then skip it. | 07:36 |
| JoseeAntonioR | I'm sorry, but I have to leave now. | 07:36 |
| HiddenSanity | Thank you. | 07:36 |
| HiddenSanity | I'm trying to start learning this stuff on my own, but I kinda want it working soon. | 07:37 |
| LinXz | HiddenSanity: I've been learning "this stuff" for some years now - be patient; we won't be specialists in a hurry. ;) | 07:38 |
| dizzylizzy | what | 08:07 |
| dizzylizzy | you kidding | 08:07 |
| dizzylizzy | it's not /.configure | 08:08 |
| dizzylizzy | that would try to run a file named .configure in the root directory | 08:08 |
| dizzylizzy | you want ./configure which would run the file 'configure' in the current directory | 08:08 |
| dizzylizzy | HiddenSanity, yeah | 08:08 |
| dizzylizzy | :P | 08:09 |
| HiddenSanity | What's better to do instead? | 08:10 |
| dizzylizzy | ./configure | 08:10 |
| dizzylizzy | if you get any errors I can probably help with that too | 08:10 |
| dizzylizzy | by the way, if the program requires Qt, and you are compiling from source, you won't just need to install Qt | 08:11 |
| dizzylizzy | installing libqt4 will only give you the runtime libraries, to compile with Qt support you will also need libqt4-dev | 08:12 |
| dizzylizzy | packages with the -dev at the end are used for compiling programs with those things, usually | 08:12 |
| dizzylizzy | don't forget to install "build-essential", which you will need to copmile just about anything | 08:12 |
| HiddenSanity | Ah, thank you. | 08:13 |
| dizzylizzy | i would not be surprised if, even after installing those things, you run into some errors when running "./compile" in the directory you extracted the source to | 08:13 |
| dizzylizzy | lemme know if anything pops up | 08:14 |
| HiddenSanity | There doesn't seem to be a make file or anything named configure... I may just be placing myself wrong, though. | 08:15 |
| HiddenSanity | I might try the cockatrice forums and site more, see if there's anything there. | 08:15 |
| HiddenSanity | I've tried to cd myself to a few different directories that look promising, including the pre-folder and the main folder it gave me... | 08:18 |
| HiddenSanity | Hmm... maybe I'll try again in 'src' | 08:18 |
| LinXz | what did you download HiddenSanity? Perhaps you have a Mac version? (shot in the dark here...) | 08:19 |
| dizzylizzy | HiddenSanity, it looks like somebody already filed a "bug" to get it built for ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/getdeb.net/+bug/991126 | 08:19 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 991126 in getdeb.net "[Create Package] Cockatrice" [Medium,Fix committed] | 08:19 |
| dizzylizzy | wow the source code is not very easily compmiled... looking at it now | 08:19 |
| HiddenSanity | Ah... so I picked a nice one for my first try at it. | 08:20 |
| dizzylizzy | i'm just trying to figure out what build system they're using | 08:24 |
| HiddenSanity | Ah well, thank you, I think I'll look into more info on this, then. | 08:26 |
| dizzylizzy | well that's frustrating | 08:26 |
| HiddenSanity | But for now, I'll retire, but thanks for trying to help. | 08:26 |
| dizzylizzy | It appears like they're using KDevelop | 08:26 |
| dizzylizzy | it's in the repos | 08:26 |
| dizzylizzy | you can open that folder as a kdevelop project | 08:27 |
| dizzylizzy | :-/ as much as I'll be able to help i'm afraid | 08:27 |

| ^zenyhooubby-it | hi! | 12:45 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | Do you know how upgrade from ubuntu 10.04 to 12 directly? | 12:51 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | I already did it from 8.04 to 10.04 but now I don't see that option anymore... | 12:52 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | can you help me please? :) | 12:56 |
| Sidewinder1 | !ask | 12:57 |

| ^zenyhooubby-it | I want to install ubuntu 12 but the live-usb gives an error message: update firmware drivers etc. from a website. Is it quick to do this? | 13:03 |
| wilee-nilee | ^zenyhooubby-it the official update for the 10.04 to 12.04 is not available yet, I believe it will be sometime in july, you can force a upgrade but I am of no help with that. | 13:09 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | back... | 13:25 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | As I sad before, when I boot ubuntu 12 live-usb, it retrieve an error message of "b43 firmware file not found". I gone to the website writen by the message, http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/b43#devicefirmware, but the page does not exist! any help? | 13:28 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: i would just install, and i would get that firmware later | 13:29 |
| holstein | i have just ran "sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer" before | 13:29 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | hello holstein! | 13:29 |
| holstein | you can always refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 13:30 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | but it can't install because it says this error | 13:30 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | so I just have to do that command in terminal now, reboot live-usb and installation will be fine? | 13:33 |
| holstein | you cant "reboot" a liveUSB | 13:33 |
| holstein | it'll just reset | 13:33 |
| holstein | you *might* be able to use the live CD after installing that firmware | 13:33 |
| holstein | if it were me, i would just install to that USB stick, putting grub on there | 13:34 |
| holstein | then, i would add whatever firmware, drivers, or software i want, and have myself a customized USB installation | 13:34 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | I don't understand... I created a live-usb because cd drive is broken. isn't it good? | 13:37 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: sure.. you are asking for changes to be saved in an environment where changes cant be saved | 13:38 |
| holstein | live CDs or USB are just that... LIVE.. to make changes "persistent" takes some special steps... i would just install to the USB stick if you want a live USB stick with persistent storage, or search around about persistent USB's | 13:39 |
| holstein | if you are just trying to install the firmware prior to installing as a test, i would just go ahead and install and grab that firmware afterwards from the installation with a wired connection | 13:39 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | I forgotten to say: now I am on ubuntu 10 installed on pc, not live-usb | 13:40 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: 10.04? 10.10? that guide i linked should apply to most broadcom harware in any version | 13:41 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | 10.04 | 13:41 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 13:41 |
| holstein | you can always search for "restricted drivers" in the system menu and let the GUI do it | 13:42 |
| holstein | you wont be able to add the firmware if you arent connected to the internet... there are work-arounds at that page i linked if you cant temporarily wire the machine up to wired internet | 13:42 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | Thank you! but I looked at http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43/devices and there isn't my laptop model 3630! so? | 13:49 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: laptop model doesnt matter, its the chipset of the wifi device | 13:50 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | ok | 13:50 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: there are directions on determining the chipset at that wiki page i linked | 13:50 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | yes terminal | 13:51 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | ok I have an bcm4318 [14e4:4318* | 13:54 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | it seems it is supported | 13:55 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: yes.. as best as it can be, it is | 13:56 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: someone has reverse engineered a driver or 2 for you | 13:56 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | cool :D | 13:57 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | so we | 13:57 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | weird | 13:57 |
| holstein | yeah?... broadcom only recently started supporting linux | 13:57 |
| holstein | your harware predates that, so you need to install some software that cannont be included in the kernel, or in ubuntu by default | 13:59 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | but my internet connection works fine now, doesn't it will stop it? Why I have to do all this work only for install ubuntu 12? | 14:03 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: im not following you | 14:04 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: i would just download the 12.04 iso | 14:04 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | yes I did | 14:04 |
| holstein | http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ | 14:04 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: ok.. just install that then, the proceedure for installing the firmware in 12.04 will be similar, if not more automatci | 14:05 |
| holstein | automatic* | 14:05 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | yes I want but the problem is that error message that don't let me to continue | 14:06 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | sorry if I don't explained well | 14:06 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: i have not seen an error message | 14:07 |
| holstein | seems to me, you wer running 12.04 live, and wanted to save the firmware in it... you cant | 14:08 |
| holstein | you'll need to just install 12.04, then install the firmware just as you did to get 10.04 supporting the broadcom chip | 14:08 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: maybe a more localized #ubuntu-* support channel? | 14:08 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | the message is "b43 firmware file not found" etc. I understand, but I can't install because it don't let me continue, nor I see the menu... | 14:10 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: that is not the name of the file any more | 14:10 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: in that guide i linked you, the instructions are different for 11.10 and above | 14:10 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | "ucode5.fw | 14:10 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: firmware-b43-installer is the name | 14:12 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer | 14:12 |
| holstein | from within the 12.04 install... and you can try that live | 14:12 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | how can I type the command within the install? | 14:13 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: i would just literally open a terminal and go for it | 14:13 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | hold shift? | 14:13 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: i need to run, but i assure you, after you install 12.04, you can get support for that hardware, just as you do in 10.04 | 14:13 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: i would just do it from the menu | 14:14 |
| holstein | ^zenyhooubby-it: from a terminal in the install, *after* you install 12.04 | 14:14 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | unluckly I can't install... that error blocks it... | 14:15 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | but thank you, I think to have understand | 14:16 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | thank you very much holstein :) | 14:51 |
| ^zenyhooubby-it | sorry for bad explaination | 14:51 |

| stlsaint | dragongate: nested virtualization is not possible | 22:09 |
| stlsaint | fc: run this command: lspci | grep Wireless | 22:09 |
| stlsaint | though network will give same result | 22:09 |
| dragongate | which means? | 22:09 |

| dragongate | yeah runescape private server and i need to compile source couse otherwise source doesnt recocnize run ;P | 22:12 |
| stlsaint | fc: i think you need to blacklist module. give me one sec | 22:13 |
| stlsaint | fc: what release are you on? | 22:13 |
| stlsaint | dragongate: compile whole server from source? | 22:13 |
| dragongate | well that's what im trying to doo! | 22:14 |

| stlsaint | dragongate: o_O | 22:17 |
| dragongate | (sorry for bad grammar) | 22:17 |
| stlsaint | fc: you know how to use program nano? | 22:18 |
| fc | Never even heard of it, honestly. I'm sorry for being such a noob at this, and I greatly appreciate all your help. | 22:19 |
| tenach | fc, no need to apologize; we were all noobs at one point :) | 22:21 |
| stlsaint | dragongate: i suggest finding a guide on private servers for that game | 22:22 |
| stlsaint | dragongate: why compile game? Seems you can play online on main servers | 22:22 |
| stlsaint | fc: open a terminal | 22:22 |
| stlsaint | fc: enter command: cd /etc/modprobe.d/ | 22:22 |
| stlsaint | fc: enter command: gksudo gedit blacklist.conf | 22:23 |
| stlsaint | fc: you there? | 22:23 |
| vinnie_ | what i have done with wireless cards that don't work is to remove the card and swop it for one that will defo work - v easy to do -just one solution -perhaps regard it as a last resort... | 22:23 |
| fc | Yes, I'm there. | 22:23 |
| stlsaint | fc: make sure you remember how to remove this one line in case this does not work. | 22:24 |
| fc | Okay, will do. | 22:24 |
| stlsaint | fc: in that file you opened at the very bottom enter make a space and enter this: blacklist acer_wmi | 22:24 |
| stlsaint | fc: save, close, reboot. If wireless works....your welcome....if not than remove that line and reboot and come back here | 22:25 |
| fc | So, go to the bottom line, hit enter, and put that in? | 22:25 |
| stlsaint | fc: at the bottom of that file, hit enter so the blacklist command has a space above it from the other text | 22:26 |
| stlsaint | dragongate: ? | 22:26 |
| vinnie_ | sorry to butt in just a quickie: what is the + at the end of: c r w - r w - - - - + and how would i add it.. | 22:26 |
| stlsaint | vinnie_: how long you been a linux user? | 22:26 |
| fc | So make sure there is a blank line above it? Because at the bottom I have another blacklist command. I'm probably making this more complicated then it needs to be so sorry. | 22:27 |
| vinnie_ | hi stlsaint - actually since 2008 - but only command line in the last 2 months! | 22:27 |
| dragongate | sorry man i was afk | 22:27 |
| stlsaint | fc: yes, make sure there is a space between the blacklist input already there and the one i gave you | 22:28 |
| stlsaint | vinnie_: ah, well we try and refrain from making the user replace hardware. Key notion with linux ;) | 22:28 |
| stlsaint | vinnie_: and what is this c r w you speak of cause it sounds like the permissions listing but there is no C permission | 22:29 |
| vinnie_ | oh apologies about that so... | 22:29 |
| fc | Okay, I'll be back | 22:30 |
| vinnie_ | is c driver, its for video, a web cam | 22:31 |
| vinnie_ | i'll adopt that principle from now on re-hardware | 22:32 |
| stlsaint | vinnie_: still no idea what your talking about | 22:32 |
| vinnie_ | are you familiar with zoneminder i'm having a bit of trouble getting it working and i think its just a matter of changing permissions for the web camera | 22:34 |
| stlsaint | vinnie_: nope, sorry | 22:35 |
| vinnie_ | i've installed it on my laptop and its working with permissions for video0 crw-rw - - - - + 1 root, but on a server installation it won't work and the permissions is crw-rw - - - - 1 root and it wont work... | 22:37 |
| vinnie_ | there is no + at the end | 22:38 |
| stlsaint | vinnie_: maybe the laptop user is in a group that server isnt | 22:38 |
| vinnie_ | i'll have to think about that | 22:39 |
| stlsaint | fc: guess no go | 22:40 |
| fc | It didn't work :/ Every couple of minutes while trying to get the connection it will say wireless connect disconnected. | 22:40 |
| fc | My bad, it says wireless network disconnected. | 22:41 |
| fc | It will also keep asking me for the router password. | 22:42 |
| vinnie_ | thanks for that stlsaint - ill research it further, see you's later.. | 22:43 |
| stlsaint | fc: open terminal | 22:44 |
| fc | Okay, ready. | 22:44 |
| stlsaint | fc: enter: rfkill list all | 22:44 |
| fc | Want me to post results? | 22:45 |
| stlsaint | fc: yes | 22:45 |
| fc | 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: asus-wimax: WiMAX Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no | 22:45 |
| stlsaint | fc: bad news or good news first | 22:47 |
| fc | Ehh, hit me with the bad news | 22:47 |
| stlsaint | fc: you will possibly need different kernel | 22:48 |
| fc | Will I have no clue how to do that, so make me feel better with some good news now. lol | 22:49 |
| fc | Well* | 22:49 |
| stlsaint | fc: good news is a new kernel propose's a fix | 22:50 |
| fc | Hmm, so where might I find this kernel? | 22:50 |
| stlsaint | good news=you need a different kernel, bad news=you need a different kernel | 22:50 |
| stlsaint | great news is you should't have to recompile the kernel for module | 22:52 |
| stlsaint | fc: its really strange cause your driver has been included in mainline kernel since 2.6.24 | 22:53 |
| fc | Yeah, it's weird because my friend told me I shouldn't have had a problem. Is it because I'm still also dual booting Windows? | 22:54 |
| eok | Hello, i just made a thread in ubuntu forums, does it need to be moderated before it shows up? I can't find it | 22:54 |
| stlsaint | fc: no that is no issue | 22:55 |
| stlsaint | eok: under your control panel look under your post listings. Does it show up there? | 22:55 |
| eok | i dont have any post listing under cp | 22:56 |
| stlsaint | fc: run this command: dmesg | grep iwl | 22:56 |
| eok | but i dont find it when i search my own threads | 22:56 |
| stlsaint | eok: you probably took to long to post and your session ended prior to you hitting the submit button | 22:56 |
| stlsaint | eok: try again at post | 22:57 |
| eok | fuu, it was so long.. | 22:57 |
| stlsaint | eok: thus your session ended | 22:57 |

| stlsaint | fc: alright we are gonna use paste.ubuntu.com from now on to paste output ;) | 22:57 |
| stlsaint | fc: please repaste that output into paste.ubuntu.com | 22:58 |
| eok | yay, i still had it in history :) | 22:58 |
| stlsaint | eok: maybe you could just ask your question here? | 22:58 |
| fc | I'm sorry lol. | 22:58 |
| stlsaint | fc: no prob. if you wanted a even easier method install application pastebinit | 22:58 |
| stlsaint | a fav of mine | 22:58 |
| stlsaint | fc: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 22:58 |
| fc | [ 26.872815] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 [ 26.872826] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 26.872850] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: pci_resource_len = 0x00002000 [ 26.872852] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: pci_resource_base = ffffc900057b4000 [ 26.872854] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: HW Revision ID = 0x67 [ 26.872978] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: irq 51 for MSI/MSI-X [ 26.873017] iwlwifi 0000:02: | 22:59 |
| stlsaint | fc: dang you | 22:59 |
| fc | Ahh, it still came out weird | 22:59 |
| stlsaint | fc: dude go to paste.ubuntu.com | 22:59 |
| stlsaint | fc: paste the output there and hit the submit button | 22:59 |
| stlsaint | fc: OORRRR just install pastebinit | 22:59 |
| eok | stlsaint: uhm i just copy pasted it in a new thread now.. it's not showing up | 23:00 |
| eok | am i missing something, or must i wait for it to be moderated? | 23:01 |
| stlsaint | eok: is this your first post to forums? | 23:01 |
| stlsaint | naw, nevermind im thinking elsewhere. No your post should show fine | 23:02 |
| stlsaint | fc: you install pastebinit? Are you on linux using ethernet now? | 23:02 |
| eok | its my first thread yes | 23:02 |
| fc | I installed pastebinit, but how do I get it to it now? And yes, I'm on a wired connection now. | 23:02 |
| stlsaint | eok: should be fine. I would start a new thread and re-type post | 23:03 |
| stlsaint | fc: enter command: dmesg | grep iwl | pastebinit | 23:04 |
| stlsaint | fc: give me the url that outputs | 23:04 |
| eok | i think it needs to be moderated :) poor moderator, will find at least 3 duplicate threads from me :P | 23:04 |
| fc | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1034642/ | 23:05 |
| stlsaint | fc: nice little app huh ;) | 23:05 |
| fc | Very useful, so the stuff I post isn't all over the place haha | 23:05 |
| stlsaint | yes | 23:05 |
| stlsaint | i love that app | 23:05 |
| stlsaint | fc: alright solution still stands and is confirmed by that output | 23:06 |
| fc | So I need a new kernel for sure? | 23:06 |
| stlsaint | fc: the iwlagn driver (one you would be using had it work) is a really good driver with pre-linux 3.x | 23:06 |
| stlsaint | everything after linux 3.x and this driver went to crap | 23:06 |
| stlsaint | fc: so yes, a 2.6.xx kernel is needed | 23:07 |
| fc | Can you point in the right direction to get it, and how to do it? Thank you, so much for all your time. | 23:07 |
| fc | point me* | 23:07 |
| devxdev | anyone know where files go after `bzr branch` command? | 23:07 |
| stlsaint | fc: OORRR you could install say ubuntu 10.04 which is really a favorite of mind and it still has support until april 2013 :D | 23:08 |
| stlsaint | and your wireless will (should, but probably more than likely will) work out the box along with everything else ;D | 23:08 |
| stlsaint | fc: ^^ | 23:08 |
| stlsaint | devxdev: in the directory you were in | 23:08 |
| devxdev | aah damn thank you :D | 23:08 |
| stlsaint | devxdev: :D | 23:09 |
| fc | Lol sounds good to me. Now where do I go to get that :P | 23:09 |
| fc | And do I need to uninstall this version first? | 23:09 |
| stlsaint | fc: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/ | 23:09 |
| stlsaint | fc: install that over your current | 23:10 |
| stlsaint | fc: DONT choose the alternate cd or you will be left with no gui to install from | 23:10 |
| stlsaint | fc: choose dvd-i386 or amd64 of course | 23:11 |
| fc | You sir are amazing. | 23:11 |
| stlsaint | fc: naw, just a guy who received help from another great person in this channel when i first came to ubuntu returning the same | 23:12 |
| stlsaint | fc: got that help here and never left ;) hopefully i can influence you to join this team/channel and offer support to others. Or just kick it and hang out chatting | 23:13 |
| stlsaint | though we chat in #ubuntu-beginners-team | 23:13 |
| stlsaint | or #ubuntuforums (no support as you saw) | 23:13 |
| fc | Thanks, I'm glad there are people like you. Now, one more help needed from my stupidty lol. Which exact download should I pick. | 23:13 |
| fc | for* | 23:14 |
| stlsaint | fc: lol, alright you using i386 or amd64? | 23:14 |
| fc | And yeah for sure I'll go in the chat channel. | 23:14 |
| fc | I think amd64. That's for 64 bit right? | 23:14 |
| stlsaint | yep | 23:14 |
| stlsaint | fc: open terminal ;) | 23:14 |
| fc | Lol already ahead of you | 23:15 |
| stlsaint | fc: uname -a | 23:15 |
| stlsaint | fc: its one line so past it here | 23:15 |
| fc | Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 23:15 |
| stlsaint | yep your on 64bit | 23:15 |
| stlsaint | fc: in terminal: sudo apt-get install wget | 23:16 |
| stlsaint | fc: if its already there than fine | 23:16 |
| fc | Yeah, I have it. | 23:16 |
| stlsaint | fc: in terminal: cd Downloads | 23:16 |
| stlsaint | fc: the following command i give you will start the download in the terminal, let it run, if you accidentaly close the terminal than just re-enter the command by hitting up arrow and the download will resume at the point it was at. way better than direct download via browser | 23:17 |
| stlsaint | fc: wget -c http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/ubuntu-12.04-dvd-amd64.iso | 23:18 |
| fc | Wait a sec, I thought I was suppose to get 10? | 23:18 |
| stlsaint | lol ah crap | 23:18 |
| stlsaint | fc: good catch there. that would have been hilarious | 23:18 |
| fc | lmao I noticed it just when i started downloading | 23:19 |
| stlsaint | fc: wget -c http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lucid/daily-live/current/lucid-desktop-amd64.iso | 23:20 |
| stlsaint | fc: i think thats right ;) | 23:20 |
| stlsaint | naw it is | 23:21 |
| fc | You positive you not trying to give me the same version I already have again? lol okay it's downloading | 23:21 |
| stlsaint | fc: well if it is same you always know where to find me to yell at | 23:22 |
| stlsaint | fc: or type capital letters at should i say | 23:22 |
| fc | I'm gonna hold you to that. | 23:23 |
| fc | You know I find it ironic that I'm going to school right now for software engineering, but have yet to get much experience at all :| | 23:23 |
| stlsaint | fc: what year? | 23:25 |
| fc | Well, maybe that's why I don't know. Im about to start 1st year lol. It's because I was originally going for programming then I switched majors, and schools so now I'm basically starting over. | 23:25 |
| stlsaint | fc: naw, your starting early which is way excellent | 23:27 |
| stlsaint | lot of you young kids coming up invovled with this stuff are making your resume beef nicely with linux experience | 23:27 |
| fc | Yeah I'm trying to get a head start on things, but it's hard to contain all the information. Especially when I have to be in those intro classes where i barely learn anything, and it makes me forget the important stuff I already knew. | 23:30 |
| stlsaint | fc: join back to #ubuntuforums for chat | 23:31 |
| fc | Okay, so it's finisihed downloading. How do I install it over this version now? | 23:47 |
| stlsaint | fc: just install it same way you did. it should give you the option to erase and install your 10.04 | 23:48 |
| fc | I installed 12.04 from windows though. | 23:48 |
| stlsaint | O_O | 23:49 |
| stlsaint | dude you did a wubi install? | 23:49 |
| fc | Yeah. | 23:50 |
| stlsaint | smh | 23:50 |
| stlsaint | dang wubi | 23:50 |
| fc | Why, whats wrong with it? | 23:50 |
| stlsaint | fc: well that makes things easy. simply use add/remove programs within windows to remove 12.04 | 23:50 |
| fc | Okay, then how do I get 10.04 in windows | 23:51 |
| stlsaint | fc: do it the same way you did 12.04 if you want | 23:55 |
| fc___ | hmm browser crashed. | 23:56 |
| stlsaint | firefox huh? smh | 23:57 |
| fc___ | Actually chrome. First time ever | 23:57 |
| fc___ | Okay so I know how to delete 12.04 with windows. How do I then install 10.04? I don't have a CD right now to do it that way. | 23:58 |
