[00:12] <purencool> Is there away to save the package list that is installed on my system. So when I do a reinstall I can go to that list and deploy with out trying to remembering what was installed before?
[00:14] <jea> I would start with this http://superuser.com/questions/48374/find-all-user-installed-packages
[00:17] <purencool> ta
[00:49] <purencool> dpkg --get-selections | sed 's/\t.*//' > packages-list.txt
[00:51] <jea> nice and simple
[00:53] <purencool> I only want the packages  like Apache Gimp etc.  Will this add  packages that are out of date because I mentioned them in the txt file?
[00:54] <jea> um, if you just get the package names without versions, then it will install the latest version
[00:58] <purencool> Cool that is  what I want. I am sick of trying to remember what I use in my  development chain. I am going to make bash script after a clean install  that does the bulk of the work. Opt is my next issue thanks
[06:52] <tonph> hi any one home ?
[06:52] <jea> there are some people here
[06:53] <tonph> hi... just need a help.. on setting up bluetooth in delln4010, ubuntu 14 64 bit..
[06:54] <tonph> in case you guys have some idea..!!
[06:54] <jea> I can't say I have dealt with bluetooth setup for a while
[06:55] <jea> Have you tried the people in #ubuntu at all?
[06:55] <jea> because they might know more
[06:55] <tonph> yeah I tried, but looks like nope..
[06:55] <jea> hmm
[06:56] <tonph> or may be no ppl are not yet in the room at this time... :)
[06:56] <jea> could be
[06:56] <jea> what is the issue in general?
[06:57] <tonph> its like , I have dell n4010 laptop, with ubuntu 14 64 bit. and I want to set up my bluetooth in my box..
[06:58] <tonph> my homework says, it needs windows driver to make it work.. now I dont have any windows with me and its been long time i used windows too.. 
[06:58] <tonph> opening my bluetooth app, says no adapter found
[06:59] <tonph> lsusb result has this entry : Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0a5c:4500 Broadcom Corp. BCM2046B1 USB 2.0 Hub (part of BCM2046 Bluetooth)
[07:00] <jea> right
[07:00] <jea> looking online, people seem to be saying a broadcom 365 chipset
[07:02] <tonph> yeah smthing like that,, i tried installing many bunches of software including reinstalling bluez-utils , but no luck
[07:04] <tonph> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8477463/, ths is my lshw
[07:05] <jea> does lsusb contain anything about Dell Wireless 365 Bluetooth?
[07:06] <tonph> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8477473/, i think 365 is not there..
[07:07] <jea> what version kernel and bluez do you have installed?
[07:08] <tonph> kernel is : Linux ayuk-Inspiron-N4010 3.13.0-36-generic #63-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 3 21:30:07 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[07:10] <tonph> let me try to find the bluez version, cmd not working...
[07:11] <tonph> looks like this 4.101-0ubuntu13
[07:11] <tonph> m not sure, but tried this dpkg --status bluez | grep '^Version:'
[07:12] <jea> ok
[07:12] <tonph> yeah its true, bluetoothd -v = gets me that version too
[07:14] <tonph> m checking this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom, may help me..
[07:14] <jea> what does `rfkill list` show?
[07:14] <tonph> 0: phy0: Wireless LAN
[07:14] <tonph> Soft blocked: no
[07:14] <tonph> Hard blocked: no
[07:15] <tonph> 0: phy0: Wireless LAN \n Soft blocked: no \n Hard blocked: no ; this only
[07:15] <jea> right
[07:15] <jea> so nothing about bluetooth at all
[07:16] <tonph> yes .. :(
[07:16] <jea> https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/34791/no-bluetooth-adapters-found-broadcom-bcm2046b1-or-dell-wireless-365-bluetooth/
[07:16] <jea> that is fedora, but they seemed to have it appear
[07:16] <tonph> lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4 => 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:4727] (rev 01)
[07:16] <tonph> ok, let me check
[07:17] <jea> someone else mentioned that they had the bluetooth not work until they booted into windows and then enabled it
[07:17] <jea> do you have a hardware button to enable/disable bluetooth?
[07:17] <jea> or bios stuff?
[07:18] <tonph> yes- that is the thing haunting my mind, if i  dnt have windows then no chance of waking up my bluetooth, was thinking that
[07:18] <tonph> then I started searching the work around until i landed here :)
[07:21] <jea> yeah
[07:21] <jea> i am wondering if it is something to do with being disabled
[07:22] <jea> someone else managed to get it to work by making a winxp virtual machine, connecting the bluetooth device as a usb device to the VM, then installing drivers in the VM
[07:22] <jea> but that is a long way to go to get something working
[07:22] <tonph> yes - its a long way ..
[07:24] <tonph> just a trace of command bluetood - http://paste.ubuntu.com/8477541/
[07:29] <jea> not too sure what to suggest sorry
[07:30] <jea> it sort of sounds like you might have to see if it still works in windows
[07:30] <tonph> not a prob , still thanks for the time.. 
[07:30] <jea> a VM will probably be enough for that
[07:30] <tonph> i dnt have windows as of now, I have debian wheezy on kvm on top of my ubuntu
[07:31] <tonph> let me do some more home work and check if my hardware is pretty old to be supported or where is the bug.. thnx
[07:31] <jea> i suspect if it doesn't work in ubuntu, then it won't work in debian
[07:31] <jea> possibly something like fedora would give a different result, but I am not too sure
[07:32] <tonph> ok.. let me do some more experiments....
[07:35] <tonph> thanks jea - got to run; catch u later.. tc
[07:35] <jea> no worries
[07:35] <jea> hope you get it sorted
[07:35] <tonph> thnx - tc
