[01:49] <kdef> hello, can someone here give me suggests for a wifi usb n device?   I think the most common chipsets are atheros and realtek.... any opinions?
[02:24] <wilee-nilee> kdef, I have found all the ones I bought locally worked, there is a wiki on ones that due but not really up to date.
[02:25] <wilee-nilee> do*
[03:50] <alankila> kdef: I have had good experience on ath9k based device, but unfortunately only on PCI/PCIe
[03:52] <alankila> I actually have two devices on my NAS/router/VPN/VM host, a 5 GHz ralink RT2800 and Atheros AR5418, which is 2.4 GHz only. Both have worked very well over the last few year or two
[03:55] <alankila> now I have every expectation that USB introduces no particular problems, maybe the antenna is poor or something. Interface-wise, even USB 2 is fast enough, and USB itself is simply a packet-based point-to-point scheme so it shouldn't be difficult to support.
[10:41] <zhak> hello can someone help me. I just got a new ultrabook but the wifi does not work. So I need to build a custom kernel to ger it working. But the build fails because dpkg-dev package is missing. How can i get that package without network?
[11:36] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[13:23] <FernandoMiguel> howdy
[16:18] <fetoega> My attempt to purge nvidia-325 defies me. "Error! There are no instances of module: nvidia-325" Any ideas how to solve this?
[16:19] <fetoega> Or can i bypass this step by telling the system that the particular package is not installed and remove it manually?
[16:20] <BluesKaj> fetoega, check for it in muon
[16:21] <BluesKaj> if it's a ppa , it should still show up
[16:21] <fetoega> BluesKaj: I have no Xorg running.
[16:21] <fetoega> it is from edgers
[16:21] <BluesKaj> ok
[16:22] <fetoega> i am trying to remove/purge it after all.
[16:24] <fetoega> gonna give aptitude a go at it. perhaps ill get lucky
[16:26] <BluesKaj> use a text editor like nano to check your sources.list and either deletet he deb/ppa or # comment it ,. or  sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers , if you have ppa-purge installed
[16:27] <BluesKaj> fetoega,^
[16:28] <fetoega> how would that help?
[16:28] <fetoega> aptitude is chugging along though
[16:28] <fetoega> perhaps itt will work
[16:32] <fetoega> but aptitude has runied my systems before =)
[16:38] <FernandoMiguel> fetoega: since multiarch, aptitude is not recommended
[16:38] <FernandoMiguel> and I did use it a lot
[16:41] <fetoega> hehe aptitude decided to remove a couple of xorg drivers and vlc for some reason... then is proceeded
[16:41] <fetoega> hope it worked. brb
[19:46] <Pinocchio> good morning
[19:46] <Pinocchio> should i use drm-intel-next kernel for saucy salami?
[22:31] <unicornjedi> hello
[22:37] <wilee-nilee> unicornjedi, Your aware that 13.10 is in development and not advised for regular use.
[22:39] <unicornjedi> yes
[22:40] <unicornjedi> but I think the problem I have pertains to other versions of ubuntu.  it's something to do with busybox
[22:40] <wilee-nilee> unicornjedi, Easiest way to see what is up is a detailed description, and running the bootinfo summary on the boot repair app, and posting the url to it.
[22:42] <unicornjedi> okay let me boot into a liveUSB and get the info
[22:45] <unicornjedi> okay i'm in the boot repair app right now
[22:45] <wilee-nilee> unicornjedi, I know nothing about mdadm or raid so others wil be your best help.
[22:46] <wilee-nilee> I would help if I could
[22:47] <unicornjedi> thanks wilee-nilee! Do you know anything about this error upon boot-up. "gave up waiting for root device"
[22:48] <unicornjedi> okay i have the info ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/5841863
[22:48] <wilee-nilee> unicornjedi, not sure, generally suonds like fstab not having the correct uuid, in the circumstance I'm just guessing.
[22:48] <wilee-nilee> or root is corrupted, another guess. ;)
[22:50] <unicornjedi> D: yeah it's corrupted because mdadm messed up my boot files >:{
[22:53] <Pinocchio> hi
[22:53] <unicornjedi> hello pinocchio
[22:53] <Pinocchio> should i use drm-intel with i915 using a sandy bridge
[22:55] <Pinocchio> isw_bbfjfegbje_ARRAY
[22:55] <Pinocchio> horrible
[22:55] <Pinocchio> those bios raid stuff is just junk
[22:55] <unicornjedi> wait are you having problems with raid too?
[22:56] <unicornjedi> :( i can't help you much since I can't even get my raid working
[22:57] <Pinocchio> no
[22:57] <Pinocchio> i had that problem years ago, but i switched to btrfs raid 1 on my root and boot partition
[22:58] <unicornjedi> hmm
[23:00] <unicornjedi> could you help me with this? I installed mdadm and upon reboot I get this error. "Gave up waiting for root device" /dev/mapper/ubuntu-vg-root does not exist"
[23:01] <Pinocchio> you boot with cd?
[23:01] <Pinocchio> disable those raid stuff on your motherboard first
[23:01] <unicornjedi> okay
[23:03] <unicornjedi> i've done that. I'm also running a liveUSB on the computer that contains the Hard Drive with Ubuntu
[23:03] <Pinocchio> install grub
[23:03] <unicornjedi> Grub is installed and working
[23:03] <Pinocchio> you need to re-install it
[23:03] <unicornjedi> ahhhh okay, let me do that now with boot-repair
[23:03] <Pinocchio> yeah or something, im old school
[23:04] <unicornjedi> old school=swag
[23:04] <Pinocchio> im not familiar with acronyms
[23:04] <unicornjedi> I'm in boot-repair... should I do recommended or advanced repair?
[23:04] <Pinocchio> just standard
[23:06] <unicornjedi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5841863/
[23:06] <unicornjedi> here is some information of my computer in case you need it
[23:09] <Pinocchio> yeah seems to be you have to remove those dm-raid stuff
[23:09] <unicornjedi> :o how could I do that?
[23:10] <unicornjedi> should I continue with boot-repair?
[23:10] <Pinocchio> udo dmraid -rE
[23:10] <Pinocchio> then boot repair
[23:11] <unicornjedi> okay, I really appreciate your help by the way.
[23:12] <unicornjedi> will sudo dmraid- -rE delete any personal files?
[23:13] <Pinocchio> yeah
[23:14] <Pinocchio> it kills the entire library of the universe
[23:15] <unicornjedi> i guess that includes my home folder?
[23:15] <Pinocchio> no
[23:15] <Pinocchio> it does not delete data
[23:15] <Pinocchio> it just removes raid signature
[23:15] <unicornjedi> oooh okay :)
[23:17] <unicornjedi> okay  i'm running boot-repair again and it says "RAID detected"
[23:18] <Pinocchio> omg
[23:18] <unicornjedi> ???
[23:19] <Pinocchio> this is strange
[23:20] <unicornjedi> when I ran sudo dmraid -rE it had errors like
[23:20] <unicornjedi> ERROR: ddf1: seeking device "/dev/dm-3" to 18446744073709421056
[23:20] <Pinocchio> i would re-install the system and save a copy of your home folder
[23:21] <Pinocchio> this stuff takes 20 minutes, yu may have a few gb of data
[23:22] <Pinocchio> i only had problems after disabling dm-raid on some linux installations, i reinstalled on a clean AHCI mode (  well i use ssd and dm-raid doens't support dischard afaik)
[23:23] <unicornjedi> AHCI mode?
[23:23] <Pinocchio> yeah without those motherboard raid functionality
[23:24] <unicornjedi> how is that different IDE?
[23:24] <Pinocchio> ide is a compatibility mode
[23:24] <Pinocchio> it doens't use the advanced features of AHCI like prefetch and NCQ or large disks >2tb
[23:25] <unicornjedi> interesting....
[23:26] <Pinocchio> your board supports AHCI? if not update your bios
[23:26] <Pinocchio> some boards like p5k or other garbage needs to be patched to enable ahci due licensing issues
[23:26] <unicornjedi> haha, i have AHCI
[23:27] <unicornjedi> (sigh) I don't want to have to reinstall all my programs after a fresh install
[23:28] <unicornjedi> along with the repositories
[23:31] <Pinocchio> if you back up the folders you don't have to worry about that
[23:31] <Pinocchio> usr var and stuff
[23:31] <Pinocchio> etc
[23:31] <unicornjedi> OMG... I was able to boot up Ubuntu. YESSS
[23:31] <Pinocchio> fascinating
[23:31] <unicornjedi> I restored the MBR record of my hard drive
[23:32] <unicornjedi> but I had to load an old kernel from advanced options
[23:32] <Pinocchio> yeah do a update-gorg later
[23:34] <unicornjedi> oh great..... I have to reinstall programs
[23:34] <unicornjedi> again I really appreciate your help
[23:35] <Pinocchio> are you using raid1?
[23:35] <Pinocchio> used?
[23:36] <unicornjedi> I think so. how can I check
[23:36] <Pinocchio> you have the same data on sdb
[23:37] <Pinocchio> my mnemonics in my cognitive apparatus needs a recovery
[23:38] <Pinocchio> in other words, i need to sleep its very late in this part of earth
[23:39] <unicornjedi> good one haaa
[23:40] <unicornjedi> well I have to go to
[23:40] <unicornjedi> goooood nightt
