[13:09] <yeehi> Why does Chromium start using 1.6 Gig of memory? It only has 3 tabs open. This occurs repeatedly. After a while, Chromium crashes and exits. Raring 13.04 64 bit and Chromium Version 25.0.1364.160 Ubuntu 13.04 (25.0.1364.160-0ubuntu3)
[14:09] <gucciburr> so which one should i get
[14:09] <gucciburr> 12.04 lts or 13.04
[14:09] <gucciburr> how outdated is 12.04?
[14:10] <ar__> Hello all. Brand new Ubuntu user here. I am in love with this OS but am having a heck of a time getting my printer to work.
[14:12] <ar__> I've tried everything recommended but my Canon MF6550 just doesn't seem to be that popular.
[14:17] <ar__> BTW, I guess it would help to say I am using 12.04
[14:18] <ar__> Canon's website does provide a driver, but I am stuck after downloading it.
[14:20] <ar__> So here's my question... how do I install proprietary printer drivers?
[17:57] <kills> hello
[17:59] <kills> anyone can advise me where i can get help with ubuntu 13.04?
[18:20] <gucciburr> what kind of help
[22:48] <exad> Hiya
[22:48] <romtsjo> hie, guys!
[22:48] <romtsjo> I need help
[22:51] <romtsjo> ubuntulog, can I ask your help?
[22:53] <Jpaez> looking for help wondering if anyone has used or know how to use cricket crosswave modem
[23:23] <Jpaez> understanding that i worded my earlier statement wrong the information i'm asking for will be at this url : http://pastebin.com/FExbnHk9
[23:28] <isiah> Jpaez: tough one
[23:29] <isiah> if I am understanding correctly you are trying to get your connection over a usb device?
[23:29] <Jpaez> yes
[23:31] <isiah> ok then, you have a few challenges ahead of you. The first is getting the correct driver
[23:31] <isiah> have you checked online to see if that particular usb device has a linux driver?
[23:32] <Jpaez> they've posted on their website that they don't support linux but people have said they've gotten around it but as raw as i am at using it their instructions seem unclear to me
[23:33] <isiah> as raw? What does that term mean?
[23:34] <Jpaez> ..... as new
[23:35] <Jpaez> or.... as fresh* of a user as i am
[23:36] <isiah> ok, so I am assuming you did some sorta search along the lines of "usb linux not working model-name-here" found a guide and following it is proving quite difficult?
[23:36] <isiah> is this valid?
[23:37] <Jpaez> yes
[23:37] <isiah> ok perhaps it would be best if you could show me a guide and point to the part you dont understand
[23:37] <isiah> would that work?
[23:37] <Jpaez> i'll see if i can find the link i recieve when i asked around
[23:40] <Jpaez> http://rikasanggana.blogspot.in/2009/06/how-to-setup-cricket-wireless-a600.html
[23:41] <Jpaez> it is wrong modem i believe but they said that it should be equivalent
[23:41] <isiah> ok then
[23:41] <isiah> what step is confusing?
[23:43] <isiah> or, if you prefer: do you want me to explain what is happening step-by-step?
[23:43] <Jpaez> could you please explain step by step.... i'm sorry if it's frustrating but still trying to learn how to do everything it's asking of me
[23:44] <isiah> ok, do you know how to open a terminal?
[23:44] <isiah> you might call them a command window or cmd
[23:44] <Jpaez> yes i do let me get to my desktop
[23:46] <isiah> whenever you are ready
[23:51] <Jpaez> okay sorry about wait
[23:52] <Jpaez> having to download again due to deleting what i put on originally
[23:52] <isiah> ok, do you have a nice clean terminal open?
[23:52] <Jpaez> yes i do
[23:52] <isiah> ok you have downloaded the Cricket_Mode file to where exactly?
[23:53] <Jpaez> it's in a flashdrive connected to my computer right now
[23:53] <isiah> ok, lets make it a little easier. Do you feel confident enough to take that file off and say put it on your desktop?
[23:55] <Jpaez> .... is drag and drop acceptable ?
[23:55] <isiah> yes
[23:55] <Jpaez> then yes where do i move it to
[23:56] <isiah> just put it on the desktp for now
[23:56] <Jpaez> to "home"
[23:57] <isiah> under home you should find a directory with your username
[23:57] <isiah> put it there
[23:57] <Jpaez> okay it's on my desktop the file is "cricket_mode_switch.tar.gz"
[23:57] <isiah> good
[23:57] <isiah> now in your terminal you should be able to go to there and see it
[23:58] <Jpaez> how so?
[23:58] <isiah> I am going to tell you commands. Each one I enter yo u enter
[23:58] <isiah> cd
[23:58] <isiah> now you are supposed to type cd
[23:58] <isiah> do you follow?
[23:58] <Jpaez> yes
