| ianorlin | kg that has no ethernet does it | 01:29 |
| kg | What? | 01:30 |
| ianorlin | the laptop | 01:30 |
| ianorlin | so you can't plug a cable into back of router | 01:30 |
| ianorlin | although that might not work on appartment wifi | 01:32 |
| kg | ianorlin: thats right, I already ordered an usb-to-ethernet-adapter | 01:52 |
| kg | But I wanted to solve it by installing the wifi drivers | 01:52 |
| ianorlin | actually plugging in ethernet and isntalling broadcom drivers is what I find to be the easiet way | 01:56 |
| kg | ianorlin: I know that it is the easiest way | 02:05 |
| kg | But it is currently not possible | 02:05 |
| kg | I need a way to automatically download these packages: http://pastie.org/10007164 | 02:05 |
| kg | So that I can install them manually | 02:05 |
| ianorlin | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx see STA no internet access | 02:09 |
| kg | ianorlin: I'm already trying to install bcmwl-kernel-source | 02:14 |
| kg | http://pastie.org/10007164 | 02:14 |
| ianorlin | !info apt-offline | 02:14 |
| ubottu | apt-offline (source: apt-offline): offline APT package manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.1ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 66 kB, installed size 404 kB | 02:14 |
| kg | ianorlin: any step by step guide? | 02:40 |
| kg | I got the package list via apt-depends | 02:41 |
| kg | bcmwl-kernel-source has to be installed with all its dependencies (seen here: http://pastie.org/10007164#1 ) | 02:41 |
| ianorlin | http://docs.xubuntu.org/1304/offline-packages.html | 02:42 |
| ianorlin | that is best guide I know of and will still work for lubuntu | 02:42 |
| kg | ianorlin: it seems to me that apt-offline is for updating all installed packages | 02:46 |
| kg | How does it help me to install bcmwl-kernel-source? | 02:46 |
| ianorlin | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/apt-offline.8.html | 02:46 |
| kg | ianorlin: so should I install bcmwl-kernel-source on my VM? | 02:58 |
| ianorlin | this is a vm why not use bridged networking to the host? | 02:59 |
| kg | The vm is running on OSX | 02:59 |
| ianorlin | oh | 02:59 |
| kg | My working installation is on an external drive | 02:59 |
| kg | I'm currently download all packages via apt-get download | 02:59 |
| kg | Hope that will work out somehow | 02:59 |
| kg | Got all dependencies with apt-rdepends | 03:00 |
| ianorlin | but you can get online in vm? | 03:00 |
| kg | Yes | 03:00 |
| kg | I cant get awk via apt-get download :/ | 03:00 |
| kg | "Can't select candidate version from package awk as it has no candidate" | 03:01 |
| ianorlin | you maybe could bridge to the vm | 03:01 |
| nimbiotics | hello everyone/ I recently installed lubuntu on an old laptop. I need this box to treat a USB headset as default, when plugged or de system's audio card when not. How can I do that?? TIA! | 03:01 |
| kg | ianorlin: no its not possible, I have to reboot my mac to boot lubuntu on the external harddrive | 03:01 |
| ianorlin | might just try downloading all the debs needed in rdepends | 03:03 |
| kg | ianorlin yeah im trying it but cant download awk | 03:04 |
| ianorlin | on macos download all the debs | 03:05 |
| kg | ianorlin via terminal? | 03:06 |
| kg | just need awk | 03:07 |
| kg | Where to download this package/deb? | 03:07 |
| ianorlin | on os x? | 03:10 |
| kg | ianorlin: no, I mean the awk package | 03:11 |
| kg | Its the only one thats missing | 03:11 |
| ianorlin | are you sure it isn't installed by defualt | 03:15 |
| ianorlin | if you run awk does command not found say anything? | 03:15 |
| kg | ianorlin didnt try it yet | 03:20 |
| kg | Just saw the dependency | 03:20 |
| ianorlin | on a default install vm awk is installed so just try it | 03:20 |
| kg | awk and libc-dev couldnt be downloaded | 03:32 |
| kg | I'm putting it now on a usb stick and give it a try | 03:33 |
| Unit193 | Skimming along scrollback. Do you perhaps require the help of apt-offline? | 03:33 |
| bongma | /msg nickserv register | 03:37 |
| * ianorlin tried to link | 03:38 | |
| Unit193 | Ah yes, I see that. Also seems to be what the user is wanting. | 03:39 |
| K-g | How should I install all these deb files? | 03:43 |
| K-g | sudo dpkg -i *.deb? | 03:43 |
| ianorlin | K-g, that works | 03:43 |
| K-g | Oh god hope that works | 03:44 |
| K-g | god what the... | 03:45 |
| bongma | cfhowlett ##linux :Cannot send to channel | 03:45 |
| K-g | errors were encountered while processing: libc6-dev:amd64, libstdc++-4.9-dev:amd64, bcmwl-kernel-source, build-essential, g++-4.9, g++ | 03:46 |

| K-g | The driver seems to be installed | 04:07 |
| K-g | but if I enter "iwconfig" in terminal it shows up "no wireless extension" | 04:07 |
| K-g | Any idea what I should do next? | 04:08 |
| holstein | i use gdebi-gtk ..but, you can use what you like to install a deb | 05:31 |
| === Steven| is now known as Steven- | ||
| Duality | hi | 16:03 |
| Duality | how do i stop linux from loading the builtin audio modules ? | 16:03 |
| holstein | !blacklist | Duality | 16:22 |
| ubottu | Duality: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 16:22 |
| holstein | you can always disable in bios, or physically remove.. | 16:23 |
| Duality | holstein: its built in audio so can't remove it :) | 16:27 |
| Duality | hmm yea got the built in blacklisted now, but now alsamixer won't open so i can adjust my usb audio device settings. | 16:36 |
| Nebbles | Hey folks. Anyone about and fancy helping me uninstall lubuntu? :P | 21:20 |
| Nebbles | I have a netbook with no web connection, and a bootable SD card with windows XP on it. Sadly the BIOS doesn't boot from SD Card, so I'm currently trying to get it working via GRUB | 21:22 |
| Nebbles | with, uh, absolutely no success | 21:22 |
| wxl | wait a minute | 21:23 |
| wxl | you want help booting xp? :) | 21:23 |
| Nebbles | yeah, I realise I might not be in the best place ;) | 21:24 |
| Nebbles | I had no issues installing lubuntu on the netbook, but I've had no end of connectivity issues and want to switch back to XP | 21:24 |
| wxl | Nebbles: /join #grub | 21:24 |
| Unit193 | I'd say plop+grml-rescueboot. And XP is a bit... Unsupported by Microsoft and security updates. :P | 21:25 |
| wxl | what sort of connectivity issues? | 21:25 |
| Nebbles | (it's an old netbook, xp'll run smoother than win7) | 21:25 |
| Nebbles | wxl: it won't connect to any wifi networks except my home network | 21:26 |
| wxl | yep, pretty nice way to get viruses, though. | 21:26 |
| wxl | Nebbles: what happens when you try to connect? and what wifi card? | 21:27 |
| Nebbles | wxl: I can't connect, because it doesn't list the networks | 21:33 |
| wxl | Nebbles: if you enter them in manually, does it connect? | 21:33 |
| Nebbles | not sure how to do that :) I've added the "manage network" applet to the menu bar across the bottom, and clicking on it only ever shows my home network | 21:34 |
| Nebbles | can't see a scan or refresh option | 21:34 |
| wxl | what version you running? | 21:35 |
| Nebbles | how would I find out? | 21:36 |
| wxl | oh man you haven't even given lubuntu a chance yet :) | 21:42 |
| Nebbles | 14.04 LTS | 21:42 |
| wxl | is it updated? | 21:42 |
| Nebbles | it's currently chewing through a list of apt-get updates | 21:44 |
| Nebbles | if that's what you mean | 21:44 |
| Nebbles | if you can show me how to reliably connect this machine to a wifi network, I'm happy to give lubuntu another go | 21:46 |
| Nebbles | but no networking makes the netbook a bit pointless :P | 21:46 |
| wxl | get all those updates and then see if it fixes it | 21:46 |
| wxl | you should be able to see the `nm-applet` process running | 21:47 |
| wxl | there was a bug where it wasn't | 21:47 |
| wxl | so you should be fixed by the updates | 21:47 |
| wxl | if it's not fixed, just start `nm-applet` in a run dialog (alt-f2 or use the menu) and you should be good to go | 21:47 |
| wxl | and please, for your own safety, don't use xp ☺ | 21:47 |
| wxl | if you struggle with linux for some reason, you MIGHT try reactOS but i'm pretty sure it's still alpha http://www.reactos.org/ | 21:49 |
| Unit193 | Yes, very alpha. | 21:49 |
| wxl | i think their indiegogo campaign just finished so that may suggest a brighter future | 21:49 |
| Nebbles | ah, yes, running nm-applet shows the wifi strength indicator and a list of networks | 21:53 |
| wxl | if you had that problem with windows, you'd be on your own fixing it | 21:54 |
| Nebbles | it's a different applet to what I added to the menu manually ("manage networks") | 21:54 |
| wxl | yeah manage networks is not really useful | 21:54 |
| Nebbles | I've much more windows experience than linux :) | 21:54 |
| wxl | understood | 21:54 |
| wxl | but as i said, xp gets no updates | 21:54 |
| wxl | if you use it, i'd make sure you NEVER connect to the internet | 21:54 |
| wxl | it's just waiting to be hijacked | 21:54 |
| Nebbles | fair enough | 21:55 |
| Nebbles | I guess for a device of this power, linux is the way forward then, if not XP | 21:56 |
| wxl | yep | 21:56 |
| wxl | linux is incredibly powerful and flexible | 21:56 |
| Nebbles | but not at all intuitive ;) | 21:58 |
| wxl | well neither is windows | 21:58 |
| wxl | before you argue with me, ask yourself how long you have dealt with microsoft's paradigm | 21:59 |
| Nebbles | oops | 21:59 |
| wxl | and ask yourself if it's possible to tweak their paradigm on your own without violating the EULA | 21:59 |
| wxl | ask yourself if you can pop into some IRC channel and get help with windows issues by people who are acutally involved in the development of their product | 22:00 |
| Nebbles | yeah, that's true | 22:08 |
| Nebbles | well, I've finished updating and restarted, and the nm-applet is now showing in my toolbar next to the clock | 22:08 |
| Nebbles | and I can connect to other networks | 22:09 |
| Nebbles | so I count that as a win | 22:09 |
| Nebbles | thanks for your help! | 22:09 |
| wxl | np Nebbles we're here for you if you need further help | 22:11 |
| Nebbles | wxl: ty :) | 22:12 |
