[13:18] <alo21> philipballew: can I ask techniqual question here (about dev)?
[13:20] <philipballew> You can ask anything here about that kind of stuff, and someone might answer. However, for future reference, dont ask to ask a question as people will probably not say ask away. Id personally just ask and if somebody knows they will answer.
[13:20] <philipballew> so yeah, ask then wait alo21
[13:20] <alo21> philipballew: ok

[20:32] <s0m3nak3dguy> despite following multiple tutorials for several weeks, I have yet to get my rtl8187 up and running.  Anyone available to help me out?
[22:01] <tlwsmith> I'm a little new to Ubuntu, so I might be doing this wrong, but here's my problem: I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 onto my mac using the Parallels virtual machine application.  I'm trying to add a few pieces of software from the Ubuntu Software Center (Gimp, Adobe Flash, and Mozilla Thunderbird), but every time I try to download these pieces of software I get an error that says "Failed to download package files - check your Internet connection." 
[22:02] <Mitchx> Make sure that your vm settings are set to use NAT
[22:03] <Mitchx> I'm not too familiar with Parallels but I use VMware and that's the option I normally go with.^
[22:04] <tlwsmith> What is NAT and how would I change to it?
[22:05] <Mitchx> In VM settings. Also, check out this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1698386        - it seems to reference the exact issue you're having
[22:07] <tlwsmith> Thanks!  I'm gonna try switching to NAT and doing what this threat says
[22:08] <Mitchx> Happy to help. :)
[22:09] <Unit193> Not sure how USC handles it, but in synaptic you have to "Reload packages" and terminal you have  sudo apt-get update  to get current ones.
[22:11] <tlwsmith> I did what the forum said, under the edit menu I selected software sources then picked another source.  Completely fixed the problem.  Thanks again guys!
[22:38] <Mitchx> So I'm setting up a LAMP stack and trying to install PHP (apt-get install php5-gd), but /var/lib/dpkg/lock is being used. How can I kill the process using it?
[22:45] <Mitchx> When I try to use sudo lsof | grep /var/lib/dpkg/lock     i receive    apt-get  806   root   4uW    REG   8,1 0 262337
[22:51] <heimdall-xyz> Good lord. For what you need know this?
[22:55] <Mitchx> I'm trying to install PHP but apt-get is not working. I'm getting an error saying /var/lib/dpkg/lock is in use by another process
[22:56] <heimdall-xyz> hmm... did you try command ps -x
[22:56] <heimdall-xyz> "?"
[22:57] <heimdall-xyz> if it is there, maybe you can kill this process
[22:57] <Mitchx> Awesome. It's hung up on 806
[22:58] <heimdall-xyz> SO
[22:58] <heimdall-xyz> kill 806
