[00:38] <kg> Any ideas?
[01:29] <ianorlin> kg that has no ethernet does it
[01:30] <kg> What?
[01:30] <ianorlin> the laptop
[01:30] <ianorlin> so you can't plug a cable into back of router
[01:32] <ianorlin> although that might not work on appartment wifi
[01:52] <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
[01:56] <ianorlin> actually plugging in ethernet and isntalling broadcom drivers is what I find to be the easiet way
[02:05] <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
[02:09] <ianorlin> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx see STA no internet access
[02:14] <kg> ianorlin: I'm already trying to install bcmwl-kernel-source
[02:14] <kg> http://pastie.org/10007164
[02:14] <ianorlin> !info apt-offline
[02:40] <kg> ianorlin: any step by step guide?
[02:41] <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 )
[02:42] <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
[02:46] <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
[02:58] <kg> ianorlin: so should I install bcmwl-kernel-source on my VM?
[02:59] <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
[03:00] <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 :/
[03:01] <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
[03:03] <ianorlin> might just try downloading all the debs needed in rdepends
[03:04] <kg> ianorlin yeah im trying it but cant download awk
[03:05] <ianorlin> on macos download all the debs
[03:06] <kg> ianorlin via terminal?
[03:07] <kg> just need awk
[03:07] <kg> Where to download this package/deb?
[03:10] <ianorlin> on os x?
[03:11] <kg> ianorlin: no, I mean the awk package
[03:11] <kg> Its the only one thats missing
[03:15] <ianorlin> are you sure it isn't installed by defualt
[03:15] <ianorlin> if you run awk does command not found say anything?
[03:20] <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
[03:32] <kg> awk and libc-dev couldnt be downloaded
[03:33] <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?
[03:37] <bongma>  /msg nickserv register
[03:38]  * ianorlin tried to link
[03:39] <Unit193> Ah yes, I see that.  Also seems to be what the user is wanting.
[03:43] <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
[03:44] <K-g> Oh god hope that works
[03:45] <K-g> god what the...
[03:45] <bongma> cfhowlett  ##linux :Cannot send to channel
[03:46] <K-g> errors were encountered while processing: libc6-dev:amd64, libstdc++-4.9-dev:amd64, bcmwl-kernel-source, build-essential, g++-4.9, g++
[03:56] <Unit193> bongma: Your nickname is not registered, they require this to speak.
[04:06] <K-g> Hey

[04:07] <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"
[04:08] <K-g> Any idea what I should do next?
[05:31] <holstein> i use gdebi-gtk ..but, you can use what you like to install a deb
[16:03] <Duality> hi
[16:03] <Duality> how do i stop linux from loading the builtin audio modules ?
[16:22] <holstein> !blacklist | Duality
[16:23] <holstein> you can always disable in bios, or physically remove..
[16:27] <Duality> holstein: its built in audio so can't remove it :)
[16:36] <Duality> hmm yea got the built in blacklisted now, but now alsamixer won't open so i can adjust my usb audio device settings.
[21:20] <Nebbles> Hey folks. Anyone about and fancy helping me uninstall lubuntu? :P
[21:22] <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
[21:23] <wxl> wait a minute
[21:23] <wxl> you want help booting xp? :)
[21:24] <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
[21:25] <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)
[21:26] <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.
[21:27] <wxl> Nebbles: what happens when you try to connect? and what wifi card?
[21:33] <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?
[21:34] <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
[21:35] <wxl> what version you running?
[21:36] <Nebbles> how would I find out?
[21:42] <wxl> oh man you haven't even given lubuntu a chance yet :)
[21:42] <Nebbles> 14.04 LTS
[21:42] <wxl> is it updated?
[21:44] <Nebbles> it's currently chewing through a list of apt-get updates
[21:44] <Nebbles> if that's what you mean
[21:46] <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
[21:47] <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 ☺
[21:49] <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
[21:53] <Nebbles> ah, yes, running nm-applet shows the wifi strength indicator and a list of networks
[21:54] <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
[21:55] <Nebbles> fair enough
[21:56] <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
[21:58] <Nebbles> but not at all intuitive ;)
[21:58] <wxl> well neither is windows
[21:59] <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
[22:00] <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
[22:08] <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
[22:09] <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!
[22:11] <wxl> np Nebbles we're here for you if you need further help
[22:12] <Nebbles> wxl: ty :)
