Josephim back guys, i am stuck at the dependency error01:45
Josephhello?01:48
Unit193Howdy.01:49
JosephI was in here earlier with a realtek card problem01:50
Unit193Right, http://askubuntu.com/questions/346685/wired-connection-problem-ubuntu-13-04-realtek-rtl8111-8168-ethernet-controller01:52
Unit193One idea was to get apt-offline and get whatever packages you needed to fix the problem with that tool, http://docs.xubuntu.org/1404/offline-packages.html01:53
Josephi got the package and installed it. what is the command?01:54
JosephHello?02:01
Unit193Yes, hello.02:01
Josephim confused on what to do here02:04
Unit193wrst said that forcing 100Mbps/full-duplex mode is helpful: sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off02:07
Unit193Ah, I see, they were trying to get you to install the dkms module, actually.02:07
Josephyes but the modules gave me an error on install02:08
Unit193sudo apt-offline set --install-packages r8168-dkms --update apt-offline.sig02:09
Unit193If you downloaded apt-offline from the page linked.02:09
JosephI did and it just gave me the error"apt-offline set: ambiguous option: --install could match --packages, --install-src-packages"02:11
Josephany ideas?02:12
Unit193You're sure you used --install-packages and not --install?02:14
Josephi ran it again. it says "ERROR: Fatal: Something is wrong with the apt system"02:15
JosephI feel bad giving you all these errore02:17
Josepherrors02:17
Unit193I'd say it's because you tried to install a package and don't have the deps for it, so first you'll have to remove the package.02:22
Josephwhich one?02:22
Josephi have the r8168 package02:23
Unit193Whichever one you tried to install.  sudo dpkg --configure -a  will tell.02:23
Josephnothing happened after i ran that command02:24
Unit193sudo apt-get install -f02:25
Josephit installed then i ran the other command and still nothing02:26
Josephare you there?02:33
Unit193Kind of, but also doing other things.  Not a lot to go on there, not really sure what you're doing or what's not working.02:33
Unit193Was hoping wrst or average_guy were still around.02:33
Josephim sorry for the trouble02:34
average_guysorry I'm late, what did I miss?  reading scrollback02:34
Josephif this help another error "Unable to locate package r8168-dkms02:35
average_guyhmm, I am sorry that you are having such a difficult time Joseph02:36
Josephits fine. I just really want to switch to linux and stop using windows. Im trying to learn software development02:36
average_guyso you did "sudo apt-offline set --install-packages r8168-dkms --update apt-offline.sig"02:37
Unit193average_guy: He may not have a full repository cache, thus it may not know yet about that package and a refresh may be required before installing it.02:38
Josephyes and it gave the error "E: Unable to locate package r8168-dkms Error: FATAL: Something is wrong with the apt system."02:38
average_guyJoseph: You mentioned initially that you connect for a few minutes and then lose the connection,  is there a chance that rebooting  will give you a connection long enough to complete the download?02:39
Josephits not even a few mins. its a few seconds02:40
Josephafter a while it just stops trying02:40
average_guyI see02:40
average_guygimmie a sec here02:41
Josephhaha alright02:41
average_guycould he not just copy the entire repo to a usb key and then install it as a local repository Unit193?  Sorry I tend to use the sledgehammer approach02:43
average_guyyou said you do have another machine with a connection right Joseph?02:44
Josephyes, the one im using now. MacBook Pro02:44
average_guyobviuosly I guess, since we are talking02:44
Unit193average_guy: ...Do you happen to know how large it is? :)02:45
average_guyI do not, is why I ask02:45
Unit193I'd just say, refresh the cache, then install it using two steps rather than one with apt-offline.02:45
Unit193average_guy: Think hundreds of gigs, IIRC.02:45
average_guyew02:46
Josephhow do i refresh?02:46
average_guyI am reading http://docs.xubuntu.org/1404/offline-packages.html02:48
Unit193First section, updating.02:49
Unit193If he doesn't have an online computer with apt-offline, I can volunteer that.02:49
Joseph That was the problem. I do not.02:50
average_guyare you reading the page Joseph?  It has pretty clear instructions02:51
average_guyfrm deiconnected machine: apt-offline set --update apt-offline.sig02:52
Josephyes i am. I just dont have a computer that apt-offline02:52
Josephhas02:52
Josephi got the .sig file, put it on a usb and onto my macbook but i do not have the command available to do so.02:52
Unit193I do, if you want to use the Mac to download it from me.02:53
Unit193it = the zip file.02:53
Unit193Just send me the sig file.02:53
Josephcan you send files through irc02:53
Josephhttp://www.mediafire.com/view/yxvqvh0xn6x29v1/apt-offline.sig here you go02:57
Josephyou get it?02:58
Unit193Will in a sec.02:58
Unit193https://unit193.net/bundle.zip MD5: 0fcb108469214d9ea97793ee364e8e2a03:00
Josephwhy so large03:00
average_guy27mb is large?03:01
Josephthe original file was just a few kb03:01
Unit193unit193@Sigma:~$ du -hs /var/lib/apt/lists/03:01
Unit193102M/var/lib/apt/lists/03:01
Josephwhat is that03:01
Unit193That's the full cache update, you then transfer that to the offline linux computer to update the cache.03:02
Josephi ment the command03:02
Unit193sudo apt-offline install bundle.zip03:03
Josephi typed that command perfectly and nothing happened. Should i see a result?03:04
Josephokay it finally worked03:07
Unit193Does  sudo apt-offline set --install-packages r8168-dkms apt-offline.sig  command work?03:07
average_guyyou have to navigate to the folder on the usb with the .zip03:08
average_guyand enter the command03:08
Josephit says "Generating database of package r8168-dkms, and its dependencies"03:08
average_guyjackpot03:08
Josephthen stops03:08
Unit193Should have a new apt-offline.sig file for me.03:09
Josephwhat do i do now03:09

Josephwrst you there?04:11
Unit193Not quite, but the maintainer of a package I help with is online, and we have a build failure to fix, as well as I'm working on converting a couple svn repos to git.  My recommendation would be to try again from the top, and see if you accidentally missed a step.04:11
Josephokay thanks man. Im sorry for bothering you.04:12
Unit193No problem, just a tad busy atm.04:13
Josephanybody else in here?04:23

Joseph__Need a little help. My headphones and microphone are not showing up in the sound setting on ubuntu 14.0418:36
Joseph__average_guy?18:36
wrstJoseph__: what type of headphone/microphone? bluetooth? USB? wired?18:42
Joseph__btw i fixed my wifi18:43
Joseph__blue yeti mic and audio technica headphones18:43
wrstJoseph__: ahh thought it was a wired network setup?18:43
Joseph__ive tried a billion methods but none have worked18:43
Joseph__i found this forum that had some commands for downgrading the realtek driver18:44
Joseph__and it was18:44
Joseph__i ment wired18:44
wrstahh ok going to say that might have brought on a different line of thinking18:44
Joseph__but i cant get my mic or headphones to show in the settings18:45
Joseph__the only sound that works is the one from my monitor18:45
Joseph__any ideas?18:47
wrstwell I'm no for sure if they should show in the settings18:51
wrstare your headphones just normal headphones with an 1/8 inch jack?18:51
Joseph__to be honest im not sure18:51
Joseph__the headphones plug into the yeti which is then plugged into the computer via usb18:52
wrstok so its getting the mic to work then, I am guessing that it should show up as another audio device if it is detected properly18:54
Joseph__the problem is that under the input and output section there are not options18:54
wrstthat is a symptom of the problem, does the mic light up?18:59
Joseph__yes the mic has power to it19:00
wrstis it powered only by usb?19:00
wrstopen up a terminal and type: lsusb and see if your mic is listed there19:00
Joseph__i dont see it19:01
Joseph__Do you know what is wrong19:05
Joseph__you there wrst?19:14
wrstJoseph__: yep, I'm at work19:24
Joseph__oh my bad. what do you do?19:24
wrstI know its not being detected now we need to figure out why19:24
wrstits a usb 2.0 audio device which does not work as well as usb 1.0 devices19:24
Joseph__is there a driver i need19:25
wrstunsure, I *think* it should be detected in lsusb, do you care to paste the results of lsusb19:25
wrstprobably do it at pastbin.com so we don't clutter things up here and post the link back19:26
Joseph__it wont let me copy the terminal19:28
Joseph__nvm figured it out19:28
Joseph__http://paste.debian.net/112501/19:30
Joseph__there ya go19:30
wrsthmm....19:34
Joseph__what?19:34
wrstI don't know things look like it should just work from what little I see19:44
Joseph__is there a driver i need to install19:45
wrstno19:46
Joseph__linux is slowly losing its value to me19:47
wrstwhat i'm seeing it looks like it worked but now doesn't for some... still searching19:47
Joseph__are there any  commands i can do in the terminal to reset the audio or?19:48
wrstno because it isn't listed as a device19:48
wrstyou could try a couple of things, one try unplugging and plugging it back up and then try lsusb to see if it is listed19:49
wrstthe next thing I would try would be to reboot with the mic plugged in if you haven't already19:49
wrstthen we can move to something else19:49
Joseph__it was listed in the first one because when i ran the lsusb command the second time the list was shorter19:50
wrstlisted in the first what?19:50
Joseph__the pastebin link'19:52
Joseph__Bus 008 Device 003: ID b58e:9e8419:52
Joseph__that is the one19:52
wrstok so where are you at? have you rebooted19:58
wrstjust a good way to be sure we are starting off from scratch19:58
Joseph__just a few moments ago i did20:00
wrstI don't think your card will show up here but its a good place to look when having sound problems20:00
wrstdrop to a terminal and type: alsamixer20:00
wrstthen press F6 and see if you see it listed in that list20:00
Joseph__okay now what20:00
wrstis it listed?20:01
Joseph__yeti mic is listed but when i select it the command prompt times out20:01
wrstwhat do you mean?20:01
Joseph__i try to look at the setting for yeti in alsa but it just closes the command prompt20:02
wrstwhen you arrow down and press enter?20:03
wrstthat can't close the terminal20:03
Joseph__yes and it does20:04
Joseph__it freezes then closes20:04
wrstdoes it close alsamixer or the entire terminal?20:04
Joseph__alsamixer and now its not even listed when i go back into it20:04
wrstso the terminal doesn't close.... ok let me do a little more checking, have you tried another usb cable that type of thing?20:05
wrstoff and on is very odd with most things linux it either works or it doesn't20:05
Joseph__it use to work on my windows20:07
