| BigBlackBeard | my desktop path now /home/broken/?n� | 16:40 |
| BigBlackBeard | and i want /home/broken/Desktop | 16:40 |
| BigBlackBeard | and i cant it change | 16:41 |
| BigBlackBeard | i'm tryed to change /.config/user-dirs.dirs, but this not works | 16:41 |
| holstein | BigBlackBeard: what i sugggest is, determine where the issue is.. is it system-wide, or just in your users config.. an easy way to do that is by trying the guest account, or making a new users, or temporarily renaming or moving the config files for the current user | 18:43 |
| holstein | if you find that things are as-expected as a different user, then you can look at how you broke the user config, and either generate fresh configs, or repair | 18:44 |

| Noreen | hi, does anyone know how to help me get wireless drivers for lubuntu? back story here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2254994 | 21:40 |
| Noreen | to be fair, i have the drivers, i can't get them working | 21:41 |
| testdr | Noreen: to be fair - you should provide the concrete product-id of the wifi-chipset (maybe its different from the known ones) - you already have installed broadcom-firmware? | 21:47 |
| Noreen | i thought i did | 21:47 |
| Noreen | i mean i thought i did provide the product id | 21:47 |
| Noreen | did you read the thread? | 21:48 |
| testdr | Noreen: sorry - i did not check all lubuntu-logs of last hours | 21:48 |
| Unit193 | !b32 | This has offline instructions as well. | 21:48 |
| Noreen | did you read the thread? | 21:48 |
| Unit193 | !b43 | This has offline instructions as well. | 21:48 |
| ubottu | This has offline instructions as well.: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 21:48 |

| Noreen | i need gcc, but every time i get one dependency it just tells me i need another, anotehr, another | 22:15 |
| Noreen | is there anyway i can get everything related to gcc in one go | 22:15 |
| Noreen | the computer with lubuntu on it has no access to the internet and can't get any) | 22:15 |
| Unit193 | You could try apt-offline. | 22:17 |
| Noreen | how do i do that? | 22:17 |
| Noreen | ok i am downloading that, fingers crossed.. | 22:19 |
| Unit193 | Install that, then use it like so http://docs.xubuntu.org/1410/offline-packages.html#offline-package-install | 22:19 |
| Noreen | error fatal something is wrong with the apt system | 22:29 |
| Unit193 | Oh for petes sake, I backported that fix, it's still stuck in -proposed. | 22:30 |
| testdr | Noreen: corrupted system? - if its a fairly last new install - you can save a lot time with a new clean install and check all updates are running | 22:31 |
| Noreen | the install is about 7 hours old | 22:31 |
| Noreen | check all updates are running? what updates? | 22:31 |
| Unit193 | testdr: No, LP: #1357217 | 22:32 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1357217 in apt-offline (Ubuntu Trusty) "[SRU] Update apt-offline to fix apt compatibility" [Undecided,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1357217 | 22:33 |
| Noreen | ? | 22:33 |
| testdr | Noreen: sorry - looks like you are testing the walking on the edge... | 22:35 |
| Noreen | you mean get offline doesn't work y et? | 22:35 |
| Noreen | apt offline i mean | 22:35 |
| Unit193 | Noreen: The version released with trusty was broken, the fix is still stuck in proposed, this version https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/apt-offline_1.3.1ubuntu0.1_all.deb | 22:35 |
| Noreen | k | 22:36 |
| testdr | Noreen: no - i wanted to express there are ways to get it working - or most online-(internet)-hints are wrong - you should check other live-version and try to stick to those. | 22:36 |
| Noreen | i can't just use the other one? | 22:37 |
| Noreen | i have already been at this for more than 6 hours | 22:37 |
| Noreen | if it is faster to just use the old version.. | 22:37 |
| testdr | Noreen: you had a working version for 6 hours? Why not disable the kernel+driver update till its fixed? | 22:38 |
| Noreen | working? it's not working | 22:39 |
| Noreen | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2254994 < i mean i have been at this for more than 6 hours | 22:39 |
| testdr | Noreen: ok - maybe i now understand - you never tried other linux-live-version to check your hardwar is working with it? | 22:40 |
| Noreen | i had ubuntu lucid lynx for years and never had a problem, and before that juanty | 22:41 |
| Noreen | same computer | 22:41 |
| Noreen | no problems | 22:41 |
| testdr | Noreen: again - did you check the live-version? - you think every update and bigger upgrade will always work? | 22:41 |
| Noreen | the live version worked fine except for the internet | 22:42 |
| Noreen | which i didn't think would be an issue | 22:42 |
| Noreen | i am sorry | 22:42 |
| Noreen | i guess i am an idiot | 22:42 |
| Noreen | i'll do penance | 22:42 |
| Noreen | so sorry | 22:42 |
| Noreen | i made a mistake | 22:42 |
| Noreen | happy? | 22:42 |
| testdr | Noreen: maybe you prove now yourself you were wrong | 22:42 |
| Unit193 | testdr: He's got a b43 card, that's all. | 22:42 |
| Unit193 | Noreen: Please don't use enter as a period, it makes Drone` unhappy. | 22:43 |
| testdr | Unit193: maybe - i dont have his hardware to know about those quirks - but he did not check for it - i can only assist and give a hint. He knows he had a working linux-version and did put it into the waste-basket. Why? | 22:44 |
| Unit193 | Noreen: I have a b43 card as well, as far as getting internet (back) when there's no driver, yeah that's "fun", but otherwise it's functional for me. | 22:45 |
| Noreen | testdr why do you want me to hate myself? | 22:46 |
| testdr | Noreen: you should have a twisted-pair-cable - and then you have to spent some time close to your router to fix it. | 22:46 |
| Noreen | i had lucid lynx.. it was really old, it refused to update or allow me to install any new programs because it was so old | 22:46 |
| Noreen | i don't mean it was full, it was just broken | 22:47 |
| Noreen | i don't know what that means | 22:47 |
| testdr | Noreen: Do you have a twisted-pair-cable? Do you able to get close to your router? Or are you at a hotel(or something else) with only wlan-support? | 22:48 |
| Unit193 | testdr: ...It's not really "bad" hardware, if he had a LAN connection he could just install firmware-b43-installer and be done with it, but since he doesn't he has to download the driver tarball, and get b43-fwcutter installed using another method. | 22:48 |
| testdr | Unit193: i understand - i can feel the pain if something gets broken and one cannot get back to the last working version -- but some steps are hard to be learned | 22:49 |
| Noreen | testdr over the last 6 hours i have explained this to many many people, but i have learned that people who can't be bothered reading the thread don't want to help me anyway http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2254994 | 22:49 |
| testdr | Noreen: first question is always: are you really want to get a working hardware? Why are you not using all possible hardware-options? And one options is always to use a twisted-pair-cable instead of a wifi(wlan)-connection with possible different encryptions/password settings.. | 22:51 |
| Noreen | i can't | 22:51 |
| Noreen | did your read the thread? | 22:51 |
| Noreen | i said ic an't get a cable | 22:51 |
| testdr | Noreen: you are like the car-driver on the highway without any fuel and crying why there is no fuel-provider around - maybe you now get it. | 22:52 |
| Unit193 | testdr: Dude... | 22:52 |
| Noreen | you are like a bully | 22:52 |
| testdr | Noreen: where is your working ubuntu-live-boot-version? | 22:52 |
| Noreen | you aren't trying to help me at all | 22:52 |
| Noreen | you didn't even read my thread | 22:52 |
| Noreen | stop takling to me | 22:52 |
| Noreen | please | 22:52 |
| Unit193 | Noreen, testdr: this isn't really helping, I'd recommend stop trying to compare each other and just deal with this issue as-is, or not at all. | 22:53 |
| Noreen | Unit193 i am still getting error messages with offline get, i'm not sure i'm putting the commands in right | 22:54 |
| Noreen | is this it? | 22:54 |
| Unit193 | Noreen: Have you read this section: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43_-_No_Internet_access ? Do you still have the CD so you can install the packages off of it? | 22:54 |
| Noreen | sudo apt-offline set --install-packages-gcc-update pat-offline.sig | 22:54 |
| Noreen | *apt, not pat | 22:54 |
| Noreen | yeah i have a live usb with packages but it hasn't got the ones i need | 22:55 |
| Noreen | or if it does i can't find them | 22:55 |
| Unit193 | sudo apt-offline set --install-packages b43-fwcutter --update apt-offline.sig | 22:56 |
| Unit193 | Noreen: b43-fwcutter doesn't depend on gcc, is there a seperate reason to install it? | 22:57 |
| Noreen | i was trying to get bcmwl-kernel source which depends on dkms which depends on gcc | 22:57 |
| Unit193 | In fact, it doesn't depend on anything that's not already in your system, so you should be able to just download the deb for your current version and install it. | 22:58 |
| Noreen | k i will try that | 22:59 |
| Unit193 | Your card should be supported by just b43, "BCM4312 (with Low-Power a.k.a. LP-PHY)" is supported. | 23:01 |
| Noreen | hey, it installed! :) no sign of wireless yet though.. | 23:01 |
| Unit193 | Have to follow the rest of the guide, extract the other tarball you downloaded, then use b43-fwcutter to install the firmware itself. | 23:02 |
| Noreen | all the other things are missing dependencies | 23:03 |
| Noreen | what guide? | 23:03 |
| Noreen | oh i see it now | 23:03 |
| Noreen | OH MY GOD IT WORKED | 23:18 |
| Noreen | UNIT193 i love you! | 23:18 |
| Noreen | i love you more than my boyfriend and my cat! | 23:18 |
| Unit193 | Heh, glad to help. | 23:45 |
