| lubot | <Dreamingwolf> HP zd8000 Pentium4 @3.4 (single core with hyperthreading) AMD ATI Mobility Radion X600 2Gb of RAM. ... 32bit iso burned to a dvd. ... Installed cleanly even in an optical drive that tends to overheat and lock up. Was it intentional to have no 'Erase disk' option in the installer? Also would personally like a 'use same password | 02:37 |
| lubot | for administrator' option (but understand why it's not there) ... System rebooted with no problems and updated cleanly. System seems lean and quick. ... Will update further as I add my usual array of muck to the system. | 02:37 |
| lubot | <Dreamingwolf> No Broadcom support out of the box, but track pad and logitech mouse (via dongle) work flawlessly. | 02:37 |
| wxl[m] | Blame Broadcom | 02:39 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> @wxl[m] [<wxl[m]> Blame Broadcom], What's the deal with Broadcom drivers anyway? | 02:39 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Why are they so freaking problematic and is there anything we can do about it, at all? | 02:40 |
| lubot | <brli7848> they didn't release any new driver ever since 3.x kernel series IIRC | 02:40 |
| lubot | <brli7848> the rest of support up to 4.0x was done by patching the last release | 02:41 |
| lubot | <brli7848> they claim to contribute to kernel but the fact is their upstreamed kernel module (bcm, or, the supported hardware list) is always a few model behind the latest | 02:42 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Harumph. | 02:45 |
| lubot | <Dreamingwolf> Siduction 18.3.0 has them working out of the box. Any chance of stealing their setup? (It was their x64 version I had on this laptop) | 02:46 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> wxl: IT'S ALWAYS ALF'S FAULT XD | 02:49 |
| lubot | <Dreamingwolf> LOL | 02:49 |
| wxl[m] | Siduction doesn't care about using proprietary binary blobs | 02:57 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> True. | 02:57 |
| wxl[m] | Alf hates free software | 02:57 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> agaida doesn't care. XD | 02:57 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Exaaaactly. | 02:57 |
| wxl[m] | So no we won't | 02:58 |
| wxl[m] | Of course we do too since we're using Telegram 😭 | 02:58 |
| lubot | <Dreamingwolf> Is it available under additional drivers like Nvidia? Hasn't found that part of settings yet. | 03:02 |
| wxl[m] | There's a package who's sole purpose is to download the binaries | 03:03 |
| wxl[m] | That way we don't have to dirty our repos with them 😁 | 03:04 |
| lubot | <Dreamingwolf> B43 cutter installer or something. I installed that from the software installer already. | 03:04 |
| krytarik | !info ubuntu-drivers-common | More general like this | 03:33 |
| ubot93 | More general like this: ubuntu-drivers-common (source: ubuntu-drivers-common): Detect and install additional Ubuntu driver packages. In component main, is optional. Version 1:0.5.4 (cosmic), package size 39.5 kB, installed size 209 kB | 03:33 |
| lubot | <Dreamingwolf> Thank you | 12:12 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> @Dreamingwolf [B43 cutter installer or something. I installed that from the software installer …], here is a compiliation of different methods for broadcom http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers | 13:19 |
| lubot | <Dreamingwolf> Excellent! Thank you @HMollerCl ! | 13:20 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> IN my case what work was: ... $sudo apt-get remove —purge bcmwl-kernel-source ... $sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter ... blacklists: ... $cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep 'bcm ... (You may want to copy this) and see if the term 'blacklist bcm43xx' is there. ... If it is, type cd /etc/modprobe.d/ and then $sudo le | 13:22 |
| lubot | afpad blacklist.conf ... Put a # in front of the line: blacklist bcm43xx ... reboot | 13:22 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> $sudo modprobe -r b43 ... $sudo modprobe b43 ... $sudo rfkill unblock all | 13:22 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> when if turno wireless on/off Ihad to ... $sudo rfkill unblock all ... tomo make it work again | 13:23 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> of course, it was a bcm43xx | 13:23 |
| lubot | <Dreamingwolf> Again, thank you. I'll try that when I'm back at testing. Nuling and paving my desktop… again… at the moment. | 13:40 |
| lubot | <Dreamingwolf> *nuking not nuling* | 13:41 |
| wxl | looks like the bluetooth stuff should be in the menu now https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluedevil/4:5.13.5-0ubuntu2 @tsimonq2 do we need to do something to get around freeze with this? | 17:03 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> @wxl [<wxl> looks like the bluetooth stuff should be in the menu now https://launchpad …], Should be in the next dailies. | 17:04 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> It migrated and should be installable as of 20 hours ago. | 17:04 |
| wxl | 20 hours ago.. might already be there in today's? | 17:04 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Yeah. | 17:04 |
| wxl | k cool. just didn't know if that FFe is automatic or if we need to bug people | 17:05 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> An FFe is a human-made and human-enforced freeze. :P | 17:05 |
| wxl | ah ic | 17:05 |
| wxl | oh jeez what did i do wrong | 17:18 |
| wxl | i tried to land D16 and smoething went weird | 17:19 |
| wxl | i think | 17:19 |
| wxl | @tsimonq2: ? | 17:19 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Oof, rookie mistake :) | 17:20 |
| wxl | i blame my instructor | 17:20 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Go to master and revert that commit you just made. Later I'll rewind both and force push. | 17:20 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> When you do arc land, you have to do `arc land BRANCH` otherwise it automatically lands to master. | 17:21 |
| wxl | aw jeez that's dumb | 17:21 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> So you just landed all of that to master. | 17:21 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Yeah ik :/ | 17:21 |
| wxl | tjat | 17:21 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> So revert it, and retry it. | 17:21 |
| wxl | oops | 17:21 |
| wxl | that's particularly ungitlike | 17:21 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> But you'll likely have to git merge the branch created by arc patch onto ubuntu/cosmic. | 17:22 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> This part is weird and buggy, I know. :/ | 17:22 |
| wxl | ok i think i did the revert right | 17:23 |
| wxl | `git diff HEAD HEAD^^` returns null so that's a good sign | 17:25 |
| wxl | weird that i can do the arc patch but land fails | 17:27 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Huh | 17:27 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> I dunno, dude. | 17:27 |
| wxl | nope can't do it | 17:29 |
| wxl | i give up | 17:29 |
| wxl | you fix it XD | 17:29 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Lazy XD | 17:29 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Let me sleep a little bit to let you wallow in shame | 17:29 |
| wxl | no effect | 17:29 |
| wxl | you'll just be making wendy sad | 17:30 |
| wxl | oh. i think i know why. it updated the whole differential https://phab.lubuntu.me/D16 | 17:31 |
| wxl | and even picking at just the diff (62) of the whole differential (D16) is still not enough. | 17:36 |
| lubot | <TheWendyPower> Yay! You are making more progress than I was in actually getting it to land. | 17:50 |
| wxl | there i think i did it | 18:18 |
| wxl | problem was, again, the instructor | 18:18 |
| wxl | arc land --onto ubuntu/cosmic | 18:18 |
| wxl | ok let's try this again | 18:20 |
| wxl | ah well i was going to land D21 but it wants launchpad credentials which then doesn't seem to accept | 18:24 |
| wxl | maybe if i change the remote to git+ssh instead of http | 18:28 |
| wxl | that seems to work but cosmic doesn't exist in remote origin bah | 18:43 |
| wxl | well i give up on that. @tsimonq2 got any clues? | 18:52 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> git merge arcpatch-D12 or whatever and push. | 18:52 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Using arc patch makes its own Git branch locally. | 18:53 |
| wxl | or whatever? | 18:53 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Whatever the branch name is. | 18:53 |
| wxl | let's make sure we get this right | 18:53 |
| wxl | so you wnat me to arc patch | 18:53 |
| wxl | and then what? git checkout cosmic? | 18:54 |
| wxl | and then git merge arcpatch-Dwhatever? | 18:55 |
| wxl | why doesn't this just work with arc land? | 18:55 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Yeah | 18:56 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Because arc land is stupid, that's why :) | 18:56 |
| wxl | that seems like a less likely explanation | 18:56 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Bet | 18:56 |
| wxl | so you have no clue. got it | 18:57 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> I get it to work locally that way. | 18:57 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Right, I don't. | 18:57 |
| wxl | :) | 18:57 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> You think I'm just being a bad instructor? I had to clumsily step through this myself. XD | 18:57 |
| wxl | hm | 18:58 |
| wxl | i wonder if it's not the changing of the origin that messes with things | 18:59 |
| lubot | <acheronuk> using stupid arc puts me off upstreaming patches to KDE | 18:59 |
| wxl | well often times it's so much easier it's ridiculous | 18:59 |
| wxl | but these edge cases good god | 18:59 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> @acheronuk [using stupid arc puts me off upstreaming patches to KDE], Oh so KDE has the same problems? | 19:00 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> wxl: Maybe poke around there? | 19:00 |
| lubot | <acheronuk> dunno. but the docs are **it | 19:00 |
| wxl | hah now THAT is true | 19:01 |
| wxl | https://discourse.phabricator-community.org/t/documentation-for-bin-commands/1928 | 19:01 |
| wxl | apparently the developers are allergic to making it better, too | 19:01 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Hahahahahaha | 19:02 |
| === shalokshalom is now known as ShalokShalom | ||
| wxl | i tried explicitly setting the branch tracking to no avail | 19:13 |
| wxl | oh well that's done | 19:15 |
| wxl | another one for Hans | 19:15 |
| wxl | maybe if we actually had that on phab as opposed to launchpad that might make a difference | 19:17 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Let's move it then. | 19:17 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> I can in a bit. | 19:17 |
