[00:29] <darklord__> hello. anyone have experience on how to correctly configure a broadcom chipset wnda3100v2 in ubuntu?
[00:30] <bones__> @dark
[00:30] <bones__> I do a little, depending on what you're needing it for
[00:30] <bones__> I'm assuming just basic wifi access?
[00:30] <darklord__> well, i'm hoping to use the dual band for packet injection, eventually
[00:31] <bones__> Yeah I figured as much
[00:31] <bones__> broadcom chipsets are finniky at best
[00:31] <bones__> I'll give a quick check to see the compatability for you
[00:31] <bones__> one sec
[00:31] <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.
[00:32] <bones__> is it interna or external?
[00:32] <darklord__> external- i have an internal that i was able to wlan0 down to switch
[00:33] <bones__> you shouldn't have to down any other chips
[00:33] <bones__> you can actually run both at the same time doing different things
[00:33] <darklord__> it would be nice not to have to do so
[00:33] <bones__> they don't generally interfere with each other that I've experienced
[00:33] <bones__> I have a broadcom that I use to start up and just keep dumps
[00:34] <bones__> then have an atheros I have doing all the work
[00:34] <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 laptop
[00:35] <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 setup
[00:35] <bones__> or have them all strapped?
[00:36] <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 installed
[00:36] <darklord__> just ubuntu
[00:38] <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 well
[00:38] <bones__> just missing the magnet blocks under your seat
[00:38] <bones__> yeah.
[00:38] <bones__> This is what I thought
[00:39] <bones__> that chipset is finiky as is
[00:39] <bones__> you'd be able to get it to function but I would doubt ever getting it to inject
[00:40] <bones__> but thats just first glance
[00:40] <bones__> there is a chance
[00:40] <bones__> I doubt injection but basic working
[00:40] <bones__> do you see it listed in Ubuntu when you call for the usb inputs?
[00:42] <darklord__> lsusb?
[00:42] <darklord__> yeah, it shows up
[00:44] <bones__> is it the g version or the g/n version?
[00:45] <bones__> ! I mean, N, or G/N
[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 the
[00:45] <darklord__> wifi adapter)- i was able to do so through the command terminal
[00:45] <darklord__> it's a/b/g/n
[00:46] <bones__> you can try installing the ndiswrapper for the bcm43, that is your best bet, I'll post a link for you
[00:46] <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 inject
[00:46] <darklord__> it's on the 2.4 GHz b/g/n/ bands and on the a/n bands for 5 GHz
[00:47] <bones__> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[00:48] <bones__> thats a list of the drivers best suited to use
[00:48] <bones__> I'd had figured Kali would have had some support for broadcoms though
[00:48] <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 remember
[00:50] <bones__> I always just try to stay clear of broadcoms
[00:50] <bones__> !list
[00:50] <bones__> heh
[00:50] <darklord__> what's the absolute top on the line go-to wireless answer for linux with packet injection and great range?
[00:51] <bones__> I'll give you the link
[00:51] <bones__> one sec
[00:51] <darklord__> thanks for your help, bones
[00:52] <bones__> http://www.amazon.ca/Alfa-AWUS036H-802-11b-Wireless-Network/dp/B0045C6MGA this is a cheaper version
[00:52] <bones__> it's like 30$
[00:52] <bones__> but if you just look into these type of things
[00:53] <bones__> they can get better
[00:53] <bones__> and read for blocks
[00:54] <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 n600
[00:58] <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?
[01:01] <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.
[01:02] <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 really
[01:02] <bones__> workstations always take more resources
[01:02] <bones__> but, tbh, you might be able to answer that better than I would
[01:08] <darklord__> i allocate more towards the workstation now and it's worked fine either way.
[01:09] <bones__> so you just doing this for fun?
[01:11] <darklord__> just for learning purposes, yes- i've recently made the transition from windows to linux a few months ago.
[01:12] <darklord__> but i've dedicated a fair amount of time to it since getting introduced.
[01:14] <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 code
[01:28] <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 be
[01:28] <bones__> and laughed
[03:09] <utusan> what was updated on 12.04.4?  The release notes is empty.  Nothing said as if  Kubuntu wished it didn't happened.
[05:15] <jackyalcine> Is Kubuntu Active the mobile-friendly version of Kubuntu?
[05:16] <lukas> czech?
[05:16] <rww> !cz
[05:20] <tsimpson> jackyalcine: yes, but beware that it's highly experimental
[07:17] <jackyalcine> tsimpson: experimental is my middle name, how did you know? ;)
[07:19] <jackyalcine> I have another phone I've used primarly for testing (the Nexus 4)
[07:35] <jackyalcine> it didn't boot :/
[07:35] <jackyalcine> going to try trusty amd64 now
[09:25] <yossarianuk> hi -can anyone recommend an alternative to k9copy (no longer availiable)
[09:28] <valorie> k3b will do it, right?
[09:29] <hewhomust> yes
[09:29] <yossarianuk> k9copy used to do what dvdshrink+dvd decrypter on winblows used to...
[09:30] <yossarianuk> i.e can k3b shink also ?
[09:30] <valorie> that I don't know
[09:31] <yossarianuk> only one way of finding aboout I guess.
[09:31] <yossarianuk> thanks
[09:31] <valorie> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2180393
[09:31] <valorie> has some more ideas
[09:32] <valorie> including the cli one,  xdvdshrink
[09:35] <yossarianuk> ah - looks like there is no software that does the same (aloone)
[09:35] <yossarianuk> shame...
[09:40] <valorie> well, maybe you should port over k9copy!
[09:41] <valorie> find some folks to work with you, and Just Do It
[09:43] <yossarianuk> valorie: i.e the sorce exists for the old version?
[09:43] <valorie> yes, of course
[09:43] <yossarianuk> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k9copy
[09:43] <valorie> you might have to dig for it in svn, but it is there
[09:44] <valorie> ok, still in launchpad
[09:44] <valorie> now, that might be patched, so it's worth looking at svn in the KDE repo
[09:44] <valorie> it probably was never moved to git
[10:17] <excognac> anybody tried ever copy dvds with k3b? cos it kinda sucks.
[10:18] <amari> Hi whenever I play a video my laptop screen becomes dark after a few seconds, How can I disable that?
[10:23] <excognac> amari: watch less Tarkovski. with power management sttings
[10:24] <excognac> amari: you find power management settings on system tray
[10:59] <odinsbane> If I have an issue with kubuntu 14.04, should I ask about it here or in #ubuntu+1?
[11:42] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[13:32] <ronaldsmazitis> hello
[14:09] <LucidGuy> and I'm back
[14:27]  * LucidGuy FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[14:28] <LucidGuy> It only took me 3 hours
[15:32] <BluesKaj> ok LucidGuy, care to share your fix method?
[15:33] <BluesKaj> xorg-edgers?
[15:55] <LucidGuy> 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] <LucidGuy> untu/maintainers fix the package?
[15:57] <LucidGuy> 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] <LucidGuy> BluesKaj, thoughts?
[16:04] <BluesKaj> 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] <BluesKaj> let me check my other pc
[16:07] <BluesKaj> ok, neither of my desktops require the uvm package
[16:08] <BluesKaj> both using 8400gs
[16:09] <BluesKaj> basic entry level pci cards tho, not fancy like yours, LucidGuy
[16:10] <LucidGuy> 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] <LucidGuy> My kernel driver in use is "nvidia" ..
[16:12] <LucidGuy> nvidia-settings simply says version 331.20..
[16:13] <LucidGuy> 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] <dougl> morning BluesKaj
[16:14] <dougl> LucidGuy, what was your issue you fixed?
[16:14] <BluesKaj> 'Morning dougl
[16:15] <LucidGuy> dougl, Performed a simple apt-get dist-upgrade and destroyed my systems ability to use the nvidia drivers
[16:16] <dougl> LucidGuy, on what 13.10
[16:16] <LucidGuy> dougl, 12.04
[16:16] <dougl> oh
[16:16] <LucidGuy> I stick to LTS versions
[16:17] <LucidGuy> I'll be deploying 12.04 on all my systems in this office in the next 2-3 months
[16:18] <dougl> 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] <LucidGuy> 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] <dougl> 12.04 why notr ...
[16:18] <dougl> gotcha
[16:18] <LucidGuy> dougl, are you sure your still using your nvidia drivers?
[16:19] <dougl> LucidGuy, I think so not sure how to change to neuvow dont know how to spell it either lol
[16:20] <LucidGuy> 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] <dougl> 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] <LucidGuy> dougl, that would bug me..  I want proper GPU performance.
[16:27] <dougl> BluesKaj, does your effects work on your 14.04 config?/
[16:28] <dougl> still after yesterdays update?
[16:28] <BluesKaj> yes, dougl
[16:29] <dougl> k thanks
[16:29] <BluesKaj> I don't use an xorg.conf file
[16:30] <dougl> I don't do anything other than stock is that xorg.conf?
[16:34] <LucidGuy> dougl, if you use nvidia drivers you want an xorg.conf file
[16:35] <LucidGuy> BluesKaj, you using nouveau?
[16:35] <dougl> LucidGuy, thanks
[16:35] <LucidGuy> Or just an onboard basic GPU
[16:35] <dougl> 8400
[16:35] <dougl> for BluesKaj
[16:36] <dougl> how do I switch back to nouveau drivers?
[16:37] <LucidGuy> dougl, remove the xorg.conf file should do the trick
[16:37] <dougl> or remove the nvidia and reinstall them ... I noticed lots of xorg updates yesterday
[16:38] <BluesKaj> LucidGuy, nvidia-331 on both
[16:38] <LucidGuy> BluesKaj, you have nvidia drivers with not xorg.conf file?
[16:39] <LucidGuy> BluesKaj, how does that work?  If you make a change via nvidia-settings, it wants to save to xorg.conf
[16:39] <BluesKaj> yes, LucidGuy, xorg.conf is no longer default
[16:40] <BluesKaj> it's just optional if you really need it
[16:40] <LucidGuy> BluesKaj, so how do you make changes and save them?
[16:43] <BluesKaj> LucidGuy, in system settings desktop effects, I have no nvidia-settings gui any longer, guess i could install it if needed
[16:46] <dougl> I have not xorg.conf
[16:46] <dougl> no
[16:49] <dougl> 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] <BluesKaj> LucidGuy, greyed out?
[16:50] <dougl> gives me a notice to check composting setting not greyed out just a message and changes back
[16:51] <dougl> Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values.
[16:51] <dougl> Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type.
[16:51] <BluesKaj> dougl, I did find the nvidia-xserver GUI, just hadn't bothered with it before, guess it was there all along :)
[16:52] <dougl> lol
[16:52] <dougl> just like microsoft in a different hiding spot?
[16:56] <BluesKaj> 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] <BluesKaj> 22" samsung monitor keeps her happy :)
[16:59] <BluesKaj> LucidGuy, your card is capable of more effects than desktop effects can dish out. I don't get it.
[16:59] <dougl> This notebook is the newest machine I have the rest of them are tried and true handme downs... just videos and music.
[17:03] <BluesKaj> 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] <BluesKaj> 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] <dougl> I like the cube and wobbly windows the rest I just leave
[17:06] <dougl> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0"
[17:06] <dougl> does that mean much to anyone?
[17:09] <dougl> how do I purge the nvidia drivers and re install them?
[17:13] <BluesKaj> dougl, try this, glxinfo | grep OpenGL , the output shoud just be one or 2 lines, so you can paste it here
[17:17] <dougl> BluesKaj, thanks for taking some time :)... more than a few but all the same...http://pastebin.com/Bkr6MmPu
[17:21] <BluesKaj> hmm, install mesa-utils
[17:21] <dougl> k
[17:22] <dougl> mesa-utils is already the newest version.
[17:22] <dougl> mesa-utils set to manually installed.
[17:23] <BluesKaj> ok , try, lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga , it should show the installed graphics driver...seems 14.04 no longer shows GLXinfo
[17:25] <dougl> root@kubuntu:/etc# lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga

[17:33] <dougl> BluesKaj, you on facebook? I should show you our driveway clearing hills... 15 feet... I should have bought my boy a tractor not a snow blower...
[17:34] <dougl> 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] <dougl> BluesKaj, nice chat... talk to you later drive safe :)

[17:44] <genii> thoid2000: Can you be more specific as to what you need help with?
[17:44] <thoid2000> I was trying to bring up a list of commands.
[17:44] <thoid2000> thought /help would do that for me.
[17:59] <LucidGuy> I work in Toronto
[18:14] <genii> LucidGuy: Here too.
[18:14] <LucidGuy> genii, work in Toronto?  IT?
[18:14] <genii> LucidGuy: Yup, at Dundas and Bay
[18:15] <LucidGuy> genii, What do you do?
[18:16] <genii> LucidGuy: I am the caretaker of an old office building here and the building next to it. Also board member and volunteer for Toronto Freenet

[18:30] <naftilos76> 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] <RishJ> if possible can anyone tell me what would have caused this error
[18:41] <RishJ>  g++: error: unrecognized option '--no-undefined'
[18:44] <jackyalcine> interesting, none of the ISO dailys are booting for me :/
[18:56] <rberg> RishJ: are you messing around with CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS?
[18:57] <RishJ> nopes...just trying to build abiword
[18:58] <tsimpson> RishJ: it's pretty clear, an invalid option is being passed to g++
[18:59] <RishJ> tsimpson: ok..thanks...nothing wrong with g++ right?
[18:59] <rberg> I dont know all the flags of the top of my head but it looks like that was truncated or something
[18:59] <RishJ> so i guess something wrong with abiword build..right?
[19:00] <tsimpson> RishJ: right, that option is actually a linker option not a compiler option
[19:00] <tsimpson> so it needs to be prefixed with -Wl, as in: -Wl,--no-undefined
[19:01] <RishJ> so build abiword with -Wl,-no-undefined?
[19:01] <tsimpson> well you need to change the place where it's passing "--no-undefined" to pass "-Wl,--no-undefined" instead
[19:01] <tsimpson> as a guess, I'd say to look for LDFLAGS
[19:11] <LucidGuy> genii, how many people attended last lts?
[19:13] <genii> LucidGuy: Altogether in the area of 20-25, but about a dozen or so at one time. People kept popping in and out
