[00:30] @dark [00:30] I do a little, depending on what you're needing it for [00:30] I'm assuming just basic wifi access? [00:30] well, i'm hoping to use the dual band for packet injection, eventually [00:31] Yeah I figured as much [00:31] broadcom chipsets are finniky at best [00:31] I'll give a quick check to see the compatability for you [00:31] one sec [00:31] 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. [00:32] is it interna or external? [00:32] external- i have an internal that i was able to wlan0 down to switch [00:33] you shouldn't have to down any other chips [00:33] you can actually run both at the same time doing different things [00:33] it would be nice not to have to do so [00:33] they don't generally interfere with each other that I've experienced [00:33] I have a broadcom that I use to start up and just keep dumps [00:34] then have an atheros I have doing all the work [00:34] 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 laptop [00:35] you do those all on live iso's? [00:35] 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 setup [00:35] or have them all strapped? [00:36] no, ubuntu 13.10 is my main o.s.- the rest are live or virtual. [00:36] what's strapped? [00:36] I mean all perma installed [00:36] just ubuntu [00:38] but i keep the entire drive encrypted. bios password is on, bootloader is encrypted as well, and i have truecrypt partitions for encryption as well [00:38] just missing the magnet blocks under your seat [00:38] yeah. [00:38] This is what I thought [00:39] that chipset is finiky as is [00:39] you'd be able to get it to function but I would doubt ever getting it to inject [00:40] but thats just first glance [00:40] there is a chance [00:40] I doubt injection but basic working [00:40] do you see it listed in Ubuntu when you call for the usb inputs? [00:42] lsusb? [00:42] yeah, it shows up [00:44] is it the g version or the g/n version? [00:45] ! I mean, N, or G/N [00:45] bones__: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:45] 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 the [00:45] wifi adapter)- i was able to do so through the command terminal [00:45] it's a/b/g/n [00:46] you can try installing the ndiswrapper for the bcm43, that is your best bet, I'll post a link for you [00:46] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_(ndiswrapper) [00:46] 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 inject [00:46] it's on the 2.4 GHz b/g/n/ bands and on the a/n bands for 5 GHz [00:47] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:48] thats a list of the drivers best suited to use [00:48] I'd had figured Kali would have had some support for broadcoms though [00:48] 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 remember [00:50] I always just try to stay clear of broadcoms [00:50] !list [00:50] bones__: 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] heh [00:50] what's the absolute top on the line go-to wireless answer for linux with packet injection and great range? [00:51] I'll give you the link [00:51] one sec [00:51] thanks for your help, bones [00:52] http://www.amazon.ca/Alfa-AWUS036H-802-11b-Wireless-Network/dp/B0045C6MGA this is a cheaper version [00:52] it's like 30$ [00:52] but if you just look into these type of things [00:53] they can get better [00:53] and read for blocks [00:54] 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] but, I know those never let you down if you're moving on from a netgear n600 [00:58] 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? [01:01] alfa in general yeah. I'm sure there's better things out there now. Especially how the markets switching to coin minners now too. [01:02] 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 really [01:02] workstations always take more resources [01:02] but, tbh, you might be able to answer that better than I would [01:08] i allocate more towards the workstation now and it's worked fine either way. [01:09] so you just doing this for fun? [01:11] just for learning purposes, yes- i've recently made the transition from windows to linux a few months ago. [01:12] but i've dedicated a fair amount of time to it since getting introduced. [01:14] 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 code [01:28] 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 be [01:28] and laughed === aragorn is now known as entah === entah is now known as aragorn === aragorn is now known as safridzal === safridzal is now known as hatori === hatori is now known as blackshirt === blackshirt is now known as Guest31245 === Guest31245 is now known as safridzal === LjL is now known as Al-Jayal [03:09] what was updated on 12.04.4?

[09:29] yes [09:29] k9copy used to do what dvdshrink+dvd decrypter on winblows used to... [09:30] i.e can k3b shink also ? [09:30] that I don't know [09:31] only one way of finding aboout I guess.

[09:40] well, maybe you should port over k9copy! [09:41] find some folks to work with you, and Just Do It [09:43] valorie: i.e the sorce exists for the old version? [09:43] yes, of course [09:43] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k9copy [09:43] you might have to dig for it in svn, but it is there [09:44] ok, still in launchpad [09:44] now, that might be patched, so it's worth looking at svn in the KDE repo [09:44] it probably was never moved to git [10:17] anybody tried ever copy dvds with k3b? cos it kinda sucks. [10:18] Hi whenever I play a video my laptop screen becomes dark after a few seconds, How can I disable that?

[14:28] It only took me 3 hours [15:32] ok LucidGuy, care to share your fix method? [15:33] xorg-edgers? === freeflying is now known as freeflying_away [15:55] BluesKaj, 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 Ub [15:55] untu/maintainers fix the package? [15:57] Ohhh .. I also installed the nvidia-331 package with the --install-suggested option, which caused the nvidia-331-uvm package to be installed also [15:59] BluesKaj, thoughts? [16:04] LucidGuy, 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 8400gs [16:05] let me check my other pc [16:07] ok, neither of my desktops require the uvm package [16:08] both using 8400gs [16:09] basic entry level pci cards tho, not fancy like yours, LucidGuy [16:10] I'm not suggesting that addtional package resolved my issue, but I noticed the uvm package was a "suggested" with the nvidia-331 package [16:11] My kernel driver in use is "nvidia" .. [16:12] nvidia-settings simply says version 331.20.. [16:13] I wish I knew where that nvidiafb.ko module came from? And I bet by removing it and restarting allowed for my install to succeed. [16:14] morning BluesKaj [16:14] LucidGuy, what was your issue you fixed? [16:14] 'Morning dougl [16:15] dougl, Performed a simple apt-get dist-upgrade and destroyed my systems ability to use the nvidia drivers [16:16] LucidGuy, on what 13.10 [16:16] dougl, 12.04 [16:16] oh [16:16] I stick to LTS versions [16:17] I'll be deploying 12.04 on all my systems in this office in the next 2-3 months [16:18] I 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] I 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] 12.04 why notr ... [16:18] gotcha [16:18] dougl, are you sure your still using your nvidia drivers? [16:19] LucidGuy, I think so not sure how to change to neuvow dont know how to spell it either lol [16:20] My 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 drivers [16:21] I am not too worried... after all this is alpha ... just greatful I am not on the windowxs machine or the old mac [16:23] dougl, that would bug me.. I want proper GPU performance. [16:27] BluesKaj, does your effects work on your 14.04 config?/ [16:28] still after yesterdays update? [16:28] yes, dougl [16:29] k thanks [16:29] I don't use an xorg.conf file [16:30] I don't do anything other than stock is that xorg.conf? [16:34] dougl, if you use nvidia drivers you want an xorg.conf file [16:35] BluesKaj, you using nouveau? [16:35] LucidGuy, thanks [16:35] Or just an onboard basic GPU [16:35] 8400 [16:35] for BluesKaj [16:36] how do I switch back to nouveau drivers? [16:37] dougl, remove the xorg.conf file should do the trick [16:37] or remove the nvidia and reinstall them ... I noticed lots of xorg updates yesterday [16:38] LucidGuy, nvidia-331 on both [16:38] BluesKaj, you have nvidia drivers with not xorg.conf file? [16:39] BluesKaj, how does that work? If you make a change via nvidia-settings, it wants to save to xorg.conf [16:39] yes, LucidGuy, xorg.conf is no longer default [16:40] it's just optional if you really need it [16:40] BluesKaj, so how do you make changes and save them? [16:43] LucidGuy, in system settings desktop effects, I have no nvidia-settings gui any longer, guess i could install it if needed [16:46] I have not xorg.conf [16:46] no [16:49] BluesKaj, and where you said to use those settings in advanced tab for opengl and raster does not let me select them now [16:49] LucidGuy, greyed out? [16:50] gives me a notice to check composting setting not greyed out just a message and changes back [16:51] Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values. [16:51] Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type. [16:51] dougl, I did find the nvidia-xserver GUI, just hadn't bothered with it before, guess it was there all along :) [16:52] lol [16:52] just like microsoft in a different hiding spot? [16:56] my 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 screen [16:56] 22" samsung monitor keeps her happy :) [16:59] LucidGuy, your card is capable of more effects than desktop effects can dish out. I don't get it. [16:59] This notebook is the newest machine I have the rest of them are tried and true handme downs... just videos and music. [17:03] yeah, 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 effects [17:05] my 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] I like the cube and wobbly windows the rest I just leave [17:06] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0" [17:06] does that mean much to anyone? [17:09] how do I purge the nvidia drivers and re install them? [17:13] dougl, try this, glxinfo | grep OpenGL , the output shoud just be one or 2 lines, so you can paste it here [17:17] BluesKaj, thanks for taking some time :)... more than a few but all the same...http://pastebin.com/Bkr6MmPu === bones-afk is now known as bones__ [17:21] hmm, install mesa-utils [17:21] k [17:22] mesa-utils is already the newest version.

I should show you our driveway clearing hills... 15 feet... I should have bought my boy a tractor not a snow blower... [17:34] thank fully our neighbour is good to us... I threw a few bucks his way and he keeps coming back when it blows in... I love that guy! [17:35] BluesKaj, nice chat... talk to you later drive safe :) [17:43] help [17:44] thoid2000: Can you be more specific as to what you need help with? [17:44] I was trying to bring up a list of commands. [17:44] thought /help would do that for me. [17:59] I work in Toronto [18:14] LucidGuy: Here too. [18:14] genii, work in Toronto? IT? [18:14] LucidGuy: Yup, at Dundas and Bay [18:15] genii, What do you do? [18:16] LucidGuy: I am the caretaker of an old office building here and the building next to it.

[18:30] Hi everyone, how do i force kmail to download all messages and attachments on an IMAP configured account? I have many folders into each other and lots of attachments. Last time i checked the total folder tree including messages and attachments was close to 5GBytes. Anyone? [18:41] if possible can anyone tell me what would have caused this error [18:41] g++: error: unrecognized option '--no-undefined' [18:44] interesting, none of the ISO dailys are booting for me :/ [18:56] RishJ: are you messing around with CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS? [18:57] nopes...just trying to build abiword [18:58] RishJ: it's pretty clear, an invalid option is being passed to g++ [18:59] tsimpson: ok..thanks...nothing wrong with g++ right? [18:59] I dont know all the flags of the top of my head but it looks like that was truncated or something [18:59] so i guess something wrong with abiword build..right? [19:00] RishJ: right, that option is actually a linker option not a compiler option [19:00] so it needs to be prefixed with -Wl, as in: -Wl,--no-undefined [19:01] so build abiword with -Wl,-no-undefined? [19:01] well you need to change the place where it's passing "--no-undefined" to pass "-Wl,--no-undefined" instead [19:01] as a guess, I'd say to look for LDFLAGS [19:11] genii, how many people attended last lts? [19:13] LucidGuy: Altogether in the area of 20-25, but about a dozen or so at one time.
