[13:35] <jarnos> Can't make running custom command in terminal work in pcmanfm.
[16:45] <llogiq> Hi folks. I have a patch (from arch) that I want to apply against the bcmwl_kernel_source package's contents. However, when I try to manually apply the patches, it errors out, and the resulting code won't even compile.
[16:45] <llogiq> Btw. the patch in question is on http://pastebin.com/pATazP6K
[16:46] <llogiq> It has gotten positive results with BCM43142 and BCM4311 chipsets, removing the dreaded kernel oops for some people, that's why I wanted to try it.
[16:59] <teward> llogiq: you might want to see if the patch even applies in the current package contents
[16:59] <teward> (for all we know it's already there)
[16:59] <llogiq> the patch itself is not applied, and it's also not already there.
[17:00] <teward> the next question is, does the patch apply at all, in that you go code hunting to try and find where it needs patching
[17:00] <teward> the patch not applying means that theres things changed somewhere, and the code wouldn't apply
[17:01] <teward> (means the matching changes can't be found)
[17:01] <llogiq> I already did that. The problem is that the package has its own set of patches.
[17:01] <llogiq> Those patches apparently need to be applied (because else the thing won't build with current kernels)
[17:02] <teward> llogiq: this is why you download the source package with dget, then rebuild the source package as a new package yourself
[17:02] <teward> (`quilt import /path/to/new/patch` later)
[17:03] <llogiq> But when I try to apply them manually, they fail.
[17:03] <llogiq> The patches are not applied in /usr/src/bcmwl-6.30.223.248+bdcom
[17:04] <llogiq> I have also looked at the exact location where the patch applies, it looks the same.
[17:04] <llogiq> teward, the package is in a way already a source package. Or do I misunderstand you?
[17:11] <teward> llogiq: which version of the source package did you pull
[17:11] <teward> (i.e. which release)
[17:12] <teward> ooo restricted
[17:12] <llogiq> 6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu1
[17:12] <llogiq> Why do you ask? And yes, the broadcom linux sta driver is partially closed-source.
[17:12] <llogiq> Which is why it's in restricted.
[17:14] <teward> llogiq: i asked because i was going to test the patch myself and see if it applies (then run it through a debian package builder to see if it actually fails to build that method)
[17:14] <llogiq> I'm probably doing something wrong, because using apt-get install the package builds just ok.
[17:15] <llogiq> teward, could you walk me through the steps to add that patch to the package?
[17:16] <llogiq> I'm good with low- and high-level code, but not very knowledgeable around dpkg or apt.
[17:17] <teward> llogiq: well adding it to the package yourself is one thing
[17:18] <llogiq> Or at least find out what the installation is doing so I can trace its steps manually (and apply the patch inbetween)
[17:18] <llogiq> Whatever is easier.
[17:19] <llogiq> Of course, if it actually works, I'd link the patch to a couple of bugs on launchpad... :-)
[17:20] <teward> llogiq: well, that's a different process than just patching it for yourself
[17:20] <llogiq> teward: What would you do?
[17:21] <teward> llogiq: well, i usually dont' fuss with libraries and kernel stuff, and you might want to check with people much higher up the dev pipeline than I am
[17:21] <teward> wxl: any insights?
[17:22] <llogiq> I think I may be able to handle the kernel stuff, but I don't want to break what has already been done right by others.
[17:24]  * llogiq needs to go afk for about 2 hours. I'll be back.
[18:49] <robin_be> I am trying to install lubuntu 14.04 and I get following message: "The attempt to mount a file system with type swap in SCSI2 (0,0,0), partition #6 (sda) at none failed. You may resume partitioning from the partitioning menu"
[18:53] <Mr_Comet> robin_be-  i think it is a partition issue.
[18:57] <robin_be> Can I install without creating swap partition and add if afterwards? It's not complaining about the ext4 partition
[18:58] <ianorlin> you can install without swap but then you cannot suspend the computer
[18:58] <Mr_Comet> ianorlin-  interesting limitation on feature
[18:58] <ianorlin> and you may run out of memory and have your process killed by the out of memory killer
[18:59] <ianorlin> which can happen with browsers with lots of tabs open
[19:00] <robin_be> But I can add swap after installation right?
[19:00] <Mr_Comet> true
[19:00] <Mr_Comet> robin_be-  dont think so
[19:00] <robin_be> oh
[19:00] <ianorlin> yes you can but you would have to resize a partition
[19:00] <ianorlin> and install something like gparted to do that
[19:01] <ianorlin> also how many partitions are already on that disk
[19:01] <ianorlin> as with mbr you can only have 4 primary partitons
[19:01] <robin_be> 3 primary + 1 extended
[19:01] <apricot1> hello I installed Lubuntu on a 'BananaPro'. Then I wanted to install TigerVNC as described in ubuntuusers.de/VNC - I get: E: unable to locate package tigervnc-server. What should I use to connect to a BananaPro from PC with Ubuntu 14.04?
[19:02] <robin_be> can windows access a ntfs partition inside an extended partition?
[19:04] <ianorlin> not sure don't use windows anymore
[19:04] <robin_be> oh nvm, don't have to do that, I could delete the reovery partition (still have that on a 2nd hdd)
[19:05] <robin_be> but now the installer is freezing...
[19:06] <ianorlin> !md5
[19:07] <robin_be> Can I terminate it someway?
[19:29] <robin_be> no problems now
[19:30] <robin_be> now I didn't format the swap partition on forehand with gparted, and didn't select format for the ext4 partition
[19:33] <robin_be> oh no this is 32bit
[19:33]  * robin_be smashes head on desk
[19:35] <robin_be> oh well, installation finished, good enough for now :p
[21:50] <llogiq> re
[21:51] <llogiq> This is later than I had anticipated. I just had a bike accident (luckily I got off without any bruises).
[23:27] <shuman> hello
[23:28] <shuman> I just installed lubuntu-desktop on ubuntu, and I like it, but can't change the keyboard layout.. which app should I use to do it?
[23:29] <shuman> I'm asking also because right now I have many apps for system preferences from other "desktops" and so I don't know which one is actualy the one I'm looking for in lubuntu-desktop ;)
[23:45] <shuman> ok, nvm...
