darklord__hello. anyone have experience on how to correctly configure a broadcom chipset wnda3100v2 in ubuntu?00:29
bones__@dark00:30
bones__I do a little, depending on what you're needing it for00:30
bones__I'm assuming just basic wifi access?00:30
darklord__well, i'm hoping to use the dual band for packet injection, eventually00:30
bones__Yeah I figured as much00:31
bones__broadcom chipsets are finniky at best00:31
bones__I'll give a quick check to see the compatability for you00:31
bones__one sec00:31
darklord__i have kali on a usb and was able to get it- after a day or so of searching- configured for an hour or so, but it's not connected anymore.00:31
bones__is it interna or external?00:32
darklord__external- i have an internal that i was able to wlan0 down to switch00:32
bones__you shouldn't have to down any other chips00:33
bones__you can actually run both at the same time doing different things00:33
darklord__it would be nice not to have to do so00:33
bones__they don't generally interfere with each other that I've experienced00:33
bones__I have a broadcom that I use to start up and just keep dumps00:33
bones__then have an atheros I have doing all the work00:34
darklord__well, i've got windows 7 setup on the desktop in my room, but run most of my virtual machines such as whonix, tails, kali, and ubuntu from my laptop00:34
bones__you do those all on live iso's?00:35
darklord__and that's why i need the wifi card to setup on ubuntu and kali- so that i can keep my virtual machines in my encrypted partitions within a FDE setup00:35
bones__or have them all strapped?00:35
darklord__no, ubuntu 13.10 is my main o.s.- the rest are live or virtual.00:36
darklord__what's strapped?00:36
bones__I mean all perma installed00:36
darklord__just ubuntu00:36
darklord__but i keep the entire drive encrypted. bios password is on, bootloader is encrypted as well, and i have truecrypt partitions for encryption as well00:38
bones__just missing the magnet blocks under your seat00:38
bones__yeah.00:38
bones__This is what I thought00:38
bones__that chipset is finiky as is00:39
bones__you'd be able to get it to function but I would doubt ever getting it to inject00:39
bones__but thats just first glance00:40
bones__there is a chance00:40
bones__I doubt injection but basic working00:40
bones__do you see it listed in Ubuntu when you call for the usb inputs?00:40
darklord__lsusb?00:42
darklord__yeah, it shows up00:42
bones__is it the g version or the g/n version?00:44
bones__! I mean, N, or G/N00:45
ubottubones__: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)00:45
darklord__i'll still use it rather than return it, regardless, given that it's useful on my desktop windows workstation. i was just hoping there was a way to do it. i've tried the wine installation of the wnda drivers, but it proceeded to give me an error. on a note, though, the one time that i was able to get it to work (as indicated by both an addional option in the network configuration menu as well as an orange indicator light from the00:45
darklord__wifi adapter)- i was able to do so through the command terminal00:45
darklord__it's a/b/g/n00:45
bones__you can try installing the ndiswrapper for the bcm43, that is your best bet, I'll post a link for you00:46
bones__https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_(ndiswrapper)00:46
bones__but then even after doing this you're still just going to have managed to have a broadcom fuinction mosting into monitoring mode mostly, but not able to inject00:46
darklord__it's on the 2.4 GHz b/g/n/ bands and on the a/n bands for 5 GHz00:46
bones__https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx00:47
bones__thats a list of the drivers best suited to use00:48
bones__I'd had figured Kali would have had some support for broadcoms though00:48
darklord__i would assume it does- and it may be that it was kali from which i was able to get it configured. honestly, it was a few weeks ago and i've been going through so many different o.s. that i don't remember00:48
bones__I always just try to stay clear of broadcoms00:50
bones__!list00:50
ubottubones__: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ».00:50
bones__heh00:50
darklord__what's the absolute top on the line go-to wireless answer for linux with packet injection and great range?00:50
bones__I'll give you the link00:51
bones__one sec00:51
darklord__thanks for your help, bones00:51
bones__http://www.amazon.ca/Alfa-AWUS036H-802-11b-Wireless-Network/dp/B0045C6MGA this is a cheaper version00:52
bones__it's like 30$00:52
bones__but if you just look into these type of things00:52
bones__they can get better00:53
bones__and read for blocks00:53
bones__you could up it to 2000mw but, that was a year or so ago, I'm not possitive what the best is now.00:54
bones__but, I know those never let you down if you're moving on from a netgear n60000:54
darklord__so alfa in general? should i just get one with a higher model number? and let me ask you this: i've got 16 Gb ram on my 2.20 GHz i7 and run the whonix workstation and gateway with roughly 5 or 6 Gig of ram each, but would it be better to allocate for ram to the workstation and less to the gateway as it servers only as the router?00:58
bones__alfa in general yeah. I'm sure there's better things out there now. Especially how the markets switching to coin minners now too.01:01
bones__and I'd figured if you're just routing to your own things. unless you're needing a lot of cash overflow then less is more really01:02
bones__workstations always take more resources01:02
bones__but, tbh, you might be able to answer that better than I would01:02
darklord__i allocate more towards the workstation now and it's worked fine either way.01:08
bones__so you just doing this for fun?01:09
darklord__just for learning purposes, yes- i've recently made the transition from windows to linux a few months ago.01:11
darklord__but i've dedicated a fair amount of time to it since getting introduced.01:12
darklord__i think that the point at which one becomes what could be considered addicted is when they're searching all over the internet for source code01:14
bones__darklord: I liked when I thought one day after I switched and wanted to get a windows OS back onto my netbook in a dual boot situation but needed to do it over the net, and just thought about how much of a pain in the ass it would be01:28
bones__and laughed01:28

=== freeflying is now known as freeflying_away
LucidGuyBluesKaj, Ok.. I removed all nvidia drivers via dpkg/purge.  I then manually deleted an nvidiafb.ko file.  I then installed the nvidia-331 package via apt-get.  Now the only real difference from my previous attempts was deleting that nvidiafb.ko file (restarted immediately after).  A colleague of mine mentioned hes heard a few people recently complaining about a similiar issue after performing updates.  So... was it my efforts? Or did Ub15:55
LucidGuyuntu/maintainers fix the package?15:55
LucidGuyOhhh .. I also installed the nvidia-331 package with the --install-suggested option, which caused the nvidia-331-uvm package to be installed also15:57
LucidGuyBluesKaj, thoughts?15:59
BluesKajLucidGuy, that's new to me, could be your gpu isn't quite compatible without the uvm package, because I don't seem to need it with the geforce 8400gs16:04
BluesKajlet me check my other pc16:05
BluesKajok, neither of my desktops require the uvm package16:07
BluesKajboth using 8400gs16:08
BluesKajbasic entry level pci cards tho, not fancy like yours, LucidGuy16:09
LucidGuyI'm not suggesting that addtional package resolved my issue, but I noticed the uvm package was a "suggested" with the nvidia-331 package16:10
LucidGuyMy kernel driver in use is "nvidia" ..16:11
LucidGuynvidia-settings simply says version 331.20..16:12
LucidGuyI wish I knew where that nvidiafb.ko module came from?  And I bet by removing it and restarting allowed for my install to succeed.16:13
douglmorning BluesKaj16:14
douglLucidGuy, what was your issue you fixed?16:14
BluesKaj'Morning dougl16:14
LucidGuydougl, Performed a simple apt-get dist-upgrade and destroyed my systems ability to use the nvidia drivers16:15
douglLucidGuy, on what 13.1016:16
LucidGuydougl, 12.0416:16
dougloh16:16
LucidGuyI stick to LTS versions16:16
LucidGuyI'll be deploying 12.04 on all my systems in this office in the next 2-3 months16:17
douglI did update on my 14.04 and my effects quit working was wondering if anyone else's did...thot LucidGuy already had fix...16:18
LucidGuyI know, 14.04 is not far, but I prefer stability over everything else.  We are currently running 10.04 on all systems still.16:18
dougl12.04 why notr ...16:18
douglgotcha16:18
LucidGuydougl, are you sure your still using your nvidia drivers?16:18
douglLucidGuy, I think so not sure how to change to neuvow dont know how to spell it either lol16:19
LucidGuyMy graphics looked fine, just my second monitor was not responding.  If I had a single monitor I probably would not have noticed right away that my system was not using the nvidia drivers16:20
douglI am not too worried... after all this is alpha ... just greatful I am not on the windowxs machine or the old mac16:21
LucidGuydougl, that would bug me..  I want proper GPU performance.16:23
douglBluesKaj, does your effects work on your 14.04 config?/16:27
douglstill after yesterdays update?16:28
BluesKajyes, dougl16:28
douglk thanks16:29
BluesKajI don't use an xorg.conf file16:29
douglI don't do anything other than stock is that xorg.conf?16:30
LucidGuydougl, if you use nvidia drivers you want an xorg.conf file16:34
LucidGuyBluesKaj, you using nouveau?16:35
douglLucidGuy, thanks16:35
LucidGuyOr just an onboard basic GPU16:35
dougl840016:35
douglfor BluesKaj16:35
douglhow do I switch back to nouveau drivers?16:36
LucidGuydougl, remove the xorg.conf file should do the trick16:37
douglor remove the nvidia and reinstall them ... I noticed lots of xorg updates yesterday16:37
BluesKajLucidGuy, nvidia-331 on both16:38
LucidGuyBluesKaj, you have nvidia drivers with not xorg.conf file?16:38
LucidGuyBluesKaj, how does that work?  If you make a change via nvidia-settings, it wants to save to xorg.conf16:39
BluesKajyes, LucidGuy, xorg.conf is no longer default16:39
BluesKajit's just optional if you really need it16:40
LucidGuyBluesKaj, so how do you make changes and save them?16:40
BluesKajLucidGuy, in system settings desktop effects, I have no nvidia-settings gui any longer, guess i could install it if needed16:43
douglI have not xorg.conf16:46
douglno16:46
douglBluesKaj, and where you said to use those settings in advanced tab for opengl and raster does not let me select them now16:49
BluesKajLucidGuy, greyed out?16:49
douglgives me a notice to check composting setting not greyed out just a message and changes back16:50
douglFailed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values.16:51
douglCheck your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type.16:51
BluesKajdougl, I did find the nvidia-xserver GUI, just hadn't bothered with it before, guess it was there all along :)16:51
dougllol16:52
dougljust like microsoft in a different hiding spot?16:52
BluesKajmy nvidia card is mostly for watching TV/videos. It's a 5yr old pc converted to a DIY/HT media center pc, and I don't play games. Wife has her own pc for her games, and she's happy to play them without a TV screen16:56
BluesKaj22" samsung monitor keeps her happy :)16:56
BluesKajLucidGuy, your card is capable of more effects than desktop effects can dish out. I don't get it.16:59
douglThis notebook is the newest machine I have the rest of them are tried and true handme downs... just videos and music.16:59
BluesKajyeah, this laptop is pretty basic grphics wise altho it can do OpenGL 3.1 and raster with a few effects ike desktop cube animation and a few others, but I'm not much into all the availble effects17:03
BluesKajmy windows user friends were wowed by the revolving screen from one virtual desktop to another tho, 6 different desktops flipping around was impressive to them :)17:05
douglI like the cube and wobbly windows the rest I just leave17:05
douglXlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0"17:06
dougldoes that mean much to anyone?17:06
douglhow do I purge the nvidia drivers and re install them?17:09
BluesKajdougl, try this, glxinfo | grep OpenGL , the output shoud just be one or 2 lines, so you can paste it here17:13

RishJtsimpson: ok..thanks...nothing wrong with g++ right?18:59
rbergI dont know all the flags of the top of my head but it looks like that was truncated or something18:59
RishJso i guess something wrong with abiword build..right?18:59
tsimpsonRishJ: right, that option is actually a linker option not a compiler option19:00
tsimpsonso it needs to be prefixed with -Wl, as in: -Wl,--no-undefined19:00
RishJso build abiword with -Wl,-no-undefined?19:01
tsimpsonwell you need to change the place where it's passing "--no-undefined" to pass "-Wl,--no-undefined" instead19:01
tsimpsonas a guess, I'd say to look for LDFLAGS19:01
