[00:58] <fictionalhippo_> Please, can someone help me?
[01:00] <wilee-nilee> fictionalhippo_, Possibly if you state your problem to the channel, thats how this works, your on ubuntu now so apply this there.
[01:01] <fictionalhippo_> Ok, so im still a beginner with Ubuntu. I've got Ubuntu 13.04 running alongside windows 7. My problem is i cant seem to find the drivers for my wireless adapter.
[01:01] <Tiweh> My non-pae install boots to tty instead of gui.
[01:20] <wilee-nilee> fictionalhippo_, I could find no instructions for that belkin router
[01:21] <wilee-nilee> fictionalhippo_, Do you have an internal card that works?
[01:22] <fictionalhippo_> wilee-nilee, is there a difference between a router and a wireless adapter?
[01:22] <fictionalhippo_> And no, there is no internal card just the usb adapter that i am using.
[01:23] <wilee-nilee> fictionalhippo_, When I see router I think of one that sits on my desk, however being specific always helps, I looked up that belkin as you described it.
[01:23] <wilee-nilee> fictionalhippo_, lsusb will tell you what ubuntu see if run in the terminal.
[01:23] <wilee-nilee> sees*
[01:24] <wilee-nilee> I have yet to try a usb wifi device and not have it plug and work, many do.
[01:25] <fictionalhippo_> Sorry about that, its a USB wireless adapter. I've run the lsusb command and it tells me Bus 001 Device 003: ID 050d:110a Belkin components
[01:33] <wilee-nilee> fictionalhippo_, Not my area of knowledge in general, I do see some info ralink and a driver by searching with ID 050d:110a Belkin  but noting I can isolate as exact info. https://www.google.com/search?q=ID+050d%3A110a+Belkin+&btnG=Search&hl=en&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&gbv=1  You might try the main channel with this new lsusb info.
[01:34] <wilee-nilee> nothing*
[01:38] <fictionalhippo_> Alright, so on the main channel how should i word it to get the best response? Also, thank you for helping me. I'm sure i seem like annoying not knowing much about all this.
[01:39] <wilee-nilee> fictionalhippo_, I would give the name and the lsusb info, but I think think this usb device is just not well known and may not work anyway so it is hit and miss,
[01:40] <wilee-nilee> If it does work, it may not be worth the hassle, when you can get ones that plug and play that are cheap.
[01:41] <fictionalhippo_> Well that'd be my luck. I always seem to get the not so well known devices. Thanks for the help. Are there any usb wireless adapters that you suggest i could buy?
[01:43] <wilee-nilee> fictionalhippo_, Not really the two I used I bought at a local store called fred meyers in the US, I forget the names. If I was trying to find one I would look close by so I could return it or on a returnable website like amazon...etc, I suspect a web search will find linux plug and play wifi, there is a outdated ubuntu wiki on ones that tested to work.
[01:43] <wilee-nilee> !wifi
[01:45] <wilee-nilee> fictionalhippo_, Might be a list of ones linked here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecommendedHardware
[02:08] <needy> hey guys :) quick question: I'm on a macbook pro right now which is my only system currently and i want to create a bootable ubuntu12.04 usb stick; using the latest unetbootin i am not lucky, my PC-to-be-used returns "missing operating system". solutions i found refer to installing ubuntu ON a mac, not simply creating a bootable device. (CD/DVD is no option) any tips / help ?

[22:22] <ryan___> Hello, I'm new to Ubuntu & Linux and recently installed 12.04.  Everything was working fine until I made a mistake yesterday.  I tried to install the education pack not knowing what edubuntu was (abortive installation attempt).  It seems like this has caused some issues with Unity dash Application Search.  The Search panel is there it is just empty.  Can anyone help me get the apps appearing...
[22:22] <ryan___> ...in the panel again?
[22:58] <ryan___> I've tried resetting unity, logging on and logging off, resetting the cache for unity and software center and nothing has worked so far
[23:00] <rreed> ryan___, I honestly wouldn't be able to be of much assistance in helping you find a solution, but if this channel is slow right now, you can always stop by #Ubuntu and ask there, as well.
[23:06] <wilee-nilee> ryan___, You might try #edubuntu
[23:07] <wilee-nilee> ryan___, Problem with using the software center is no actual package install list, a apt-get would generate one to save and synaptic has a history.
[23:10] <wilee-nilee> ryan___, Can you pastebin a sudo apt-get update
[23:51] <ryan___> Thanks rreed.  wilee-nilee I did download synaptic yesterday - used Ubuntu back in the hardy heron days for a bit and took me a while to find synaptic.  much quicker and better than software center.
[23:52] <ryan___> willee-nilee, can could you walk me though the commands I should use in terminal?
