| locodir-user | Anybody there? | 22:31 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | yes | 22:32 |
| valorie | what's up, locodir-user? | 22:32 |
| locodir-user | Oh I have a presario f500 and I have unbuntu 14 latest stable release and it did not detect the broadcom WiFi hardware. Any ideas or suggestions? | 22:36 |
| locodir-user | Any packages or software suggestions? | 22:37 |
| locodir-user | I did find broadcoms driver for the hardware that is for Linux. | 22:38 |
| valorie | oh, please use #ubuntu for these questions | 22:38 |
| valorie | this isn't a support channel; rather it is for Washington *buntu users | 22:38 |
| valorie | and honestly, I have fixed my own wifi problems, but the broader issues are rather beyond my ken | 22:39 |
| locodir-user | I just figured I would get to know the group this way and I am in Washington | 22:39 |
| valorie | very cool | 22:39 |
| valorie | where do you live? | 22:39 |
| * valorie lives right outside Black Diamond | 22:39 | |
| locodir-user | Bellingham | 22:39 |
| valorie | south east of Seattle | 22:40 |
| valorie | ah, we'll soon meet then! | 22:40 |
| valorie | at lfnw | 22:40 |
| valorie | I'll be up there staffing a *buntu table | 22:40 |
| locodir-user | Don't know what lfnw is | 22:40 |
| valorie | Bellingham is so lovely | 22:40 |
| valorie | linuxfest northwest -- join #lfnw | 22:41 |
| valorie | it's in April, soon after Xenial is released | 22:41 |
| locodir-user | No idea what denial is I'm new to the I.T. occupation | 22:42 |
| locodir-user | Xenial auto correct is annoying at times | 22:43 |
| valorie | lol | 22:44 |
| valorie | xenial is the code-name for the next release, 16.04 which is LTS | 22:45 |
| valorie | so there will be a strong demand for ISO images | 22:45 |
| locodir-user | Oh interesting | 22:45 |
| valorie | we keep busy burning DVDs for people | 22:45 |
| valorie | or thumbdrives, if they bring them | 22:45 |
| valorie | we don't have the funds to buy thumbdrives to give out | 22:46 |
| locodir-user | Lots of server traffic also | 22:46 |
| valorie | certainly | 22:46 |
| valorie | I seed torrents for all the *buntu releases -- I'm active in Kubuntu, myself | 22:46 |
| locodir-user | Nice I actual want to take some sort of classes in it | 22:47 |
| valorie | classes in what? | 22:48 |
| locodir-user | Linux | 22:49 |
| locodir-user | Unbuntu just software engineering | 22:49 |
| locodir-user | Just learning on my own right now | 22:49 |
| valorie | lfnw is held at a college, so you might find out some cool stuff at the talks and also at the college itself | 22:50 |
| valorie | it's hosted by BLUG, which you might want to look up and get involved in | 22:50 |
| locodir-user | Yeah I went to Bellingham tech for a little while | 22:53 |
| valorie | excellent | 22:55 |
| locodir-user | Trying to design software right now to adjust fuel and other settings on a new motor to also work with a auto drive system | 22:57 |
| valorie | oooo, neato! | 22:58 |
| valorie | embedded linux is growing so fast | 22:58 |
| locodir-user | Yes indeed | 22:59 |
| locodir-user | Have to design the computer hardware around the software which is a challenge | 23:00 |
| locodir-user | We are thinking of using only ram mostly like puppy | 23:01 |
| locodir-user | Trying to get faster reaction times, had one of our engineers suggest using fiberoptics and a system they would use in a jet | 23:03 |
