| 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? | 01:49 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | 02:24 |
| wilee-nilee | do* | 02:25 |
| alankila | kdef: I have had good experience on ath9k based device, but unfortunately only on PCI/PCIe | 03:50 |
| 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 | 03:52 |
| 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. | 03:55 |

| fetoega | My attempt to purge nvidia-325 defies me. "Error! There are no instances of module: nvidia-325" Any ideas how to solve this? | 16:18 |
| fetoega | Or can i bypass this step by telling the system that the particular package is not installed and remove it manually? | 16:19 |
| BluesKaj | fetoega, check for it in muon | 16:20 |
| 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 | 16:21 |
| fetoega | i am trying to remove/purge it after all. | 16:22 |
| fetoega | gonna give aptitude a go at it. perhaps ill get lucky | 16:24 |
| 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 | 16:26 |
| BluesKaj | fetoega,^ | 16:27 |
| fetoega | how would that help? | 16:28 |
| fetoega | aptitude is chugging along though | 16:28 |
| fetoega | perhaps itt will work | 16:28 |
| fetoega | but aptitude has runied my systems before =) | 16:32 |
| FernandoMiguel | fetoega: since multiarch, aptitude is not recommended | 16:38 |
| FernandoMiguel | and I did use it a lot | 16:38 |
| 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 | 16:41 |
| Pinocchio | good morning | 19:46 |
| Pinocchio | should i use drm-intel-next kernel for saucy salami? | 19:46 |
| unicornjedi | hello | 22:31 |
| wilee-nilee | unicornjedi, Your aware that 13.10 is in development and not advised for regular use. | 22:37 |
| unicornjedi | yes | 22:39 |
| 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. | 22:40 |
| unicornjedi | okay let me boot into a liveUSB and get the info | 22:42 |
| 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. | 22:45 |
| wilee-nilee | I would help if I could | 22:46 |
| unicornjedi | thanks wilee-nilee! Do you know anything about this error upon boot-up. "gave up waiting for root device" | 22:47 |
| 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. ;) | 22:48 |
| unicornjedi | D: yeah it's corrupted because mdadm messed up my boot files >:{ | 22:50 |
| Pinocchio | hi | 22:53 |
| unicornjedi | hello pinocchio | 22:53 |
| Pinocchio | should i use drm-intel with i915 using a sandy bridge | 22:53 |
| 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? | 22:55 |
| unicornjedi | :( i can't help you much since I can't even get my raid working | 22:56 |
| Pinocchio | no | 22:57 |
| Pinocchio | i had that problem years ago, but i switched to btrfs raid 1 on my root and boot partition | 22:57 |
| unicornjedi | hmm | 22:58 |
| 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" | 23:00 |
| Pinocchio | you boot with cd? | 23:01 |
| Pinocchio | disable those raid stuff on your motherboard first | 23:01 |
| unicornjedi | okay | 23:01 |
| 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 | 23:03 |
| 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 | 23:04 |
| unicornjedi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5841863/ | 23:06 |
| unicornjedi | here is some information of my computer in case you need it | 23:06 |
| Pinocchio | yeah seems to be you have to remove those dm-raid stuff | 23:09 |
| unicornjedi | :o how could I do that? | 23:09 |
| unicornjedi | should I continue with boot-repair? | 23:10 |
| Pinocchio | udo dmraid -rE | 23:10 |
| Pinocchio | then boot repair | 23:10 |
| unicornjedi | okay, I really appreciate your help by the way. | 23:11 |
| unicornjedi | will sudo dmraid- -rE delete any personal files? | 23:12 |
| Pinocchio | yeah | 23:13 |
| Pinocchio | it kills the entire library of the universe | 23:14 |
| 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 :) | 23:15 |
| unicornjedi | okay i'm running boot-repair again and it says "RAID detected" | 23:17 |
| Pinocchio | omg | 23:18 |
| unicornjedi | ??? | 23:18 |
| Pinocchio | this is strange | 23:19 |
| 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 | 23:20 |
| Pinocchio | this stuff takes 20 minutes, yu may have a few gb of data | 23:21 |
| 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) | 23:22 |
| unicornjedi | AHCI mode? | 23:23 |
| Pinocchio | yeah without those motherboard raid functionality | 23:23 |
| 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 | 23:24 |
| unicornjedi | interesting.... | 23:25 |
| 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 | 23:26 |
| unicornjedi | (sigh) I don't want to have to reinstall all my programs after a fresh install | 23:27 |
| unicornjedi | along with the repositories | 23:28 |
| 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 | 23:31 |
| unicornjedi | but I had to load an old kernel from advanced options | 23:32 |
| Pinocchio | yeah do a update-gorg later | 23:32 |
| unicornjedi | oh great..... I have to reinstall programs | 23:34 |
| unicornjedi | again I really appreciate your help | 23:34 |
| Pinocchio | are you using raid1? | 23:35 |
| Pinocchio | used? | 23:35 |
| unicornjedi | I think so. how can I check | 23:36 |
| Pinocchio | you have the same data on sdb | 23:36 |
| Pinocchio | my mnemonics in my cognitive apparatus needs a recovery | 23:37 |
| Pinocchio | in other words, i need to sleep its very late in this part of earth | 23:38 |
| unicornjedi | good one haaa | 23:39 |
| unicornjedi | well I have to go to | 23:40 |
| unicornjedi | goooood nightt | 23:40 |
