[00:03] Boosted the toot! [00:06] Huzzah! [02:37] 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] 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] No Broadcom support out of the box, but track pad and logitech mouse (via dongle) work flawlessly. [02:39] Blame Broadcom [02:39] @wxl[m] [ Blame Broadcom], What's the deal with Broadcom drivers anyway? [02:40] Why are they so freaking problematic and is there anything we can do about it, at all? [02:40] they didn't release any new driver ever since 3.x kernel series IIRC [02:41] the rest of support up to 4.0x was done by patching the last release [02:42] 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 [02:45] Harumph. [02:46] 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) [02:49] wxl: IT'S ALWAYS ALF'S FAULT XD [02:49] LOL [02:57] Siduction doesn't care about using proprietary binary blobs [02:57] True. [02:57] Alf hates free software [02:57] agaida doesn't care. XD [02:57] Exaaaactly. [02:58] So no we won't [02:58] Of course we do too since we're using Telegram 😭 [03:02] Is it available under additional drivers like Nvidia? Hasn't found that part of settings yet. [03:03] There's a package who's sole purpose is to download the binaries [03:04] That way we don't have to dirty our repos with them 😁 [03:04] B43 cutter installer or something. I installed that from the software installer already. [03:33] !info ubuntu-drivers-common | More general like this [03:33] 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 [12:12] Thank you [13:19] @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 [13:20] Excellent! Thank you @HMollerCl ! [13:22] 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] afpad blacklist.conf ... Put a # in front of the line: blacklist bcm43xx ... reboot [13:22] $sudo modprobe -r b43 ... $sudo modprobe b43 ... $sudo rfkill unblock all [13:23] when if turno wireless on/off Ihad to ... $sudo rfkill unblock all ... tomo make it work again [13:23] of course, it was a bcm43xx [13:40] Again, thank you. I'll try that when I'm back at testing. Nuling and paving my desktop… again… at the moment. [13:41] *nuking not nuling* [17:03] 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? [17:04] @wxl [ looks like the bluetooth stuff should be in the menu now https://launchpad …], Should be in the next dailies. [17:04] It migrated and should be installable as of 20 hours ago. [17:04] 20 hours ago.. might already be there in today's? [17:04] Yeah. [17:05] k cool. just didn't know if that FFe is automatic or if we need to bug people [17:05] An FFe is a human-made and human-enforced freeze. :P [17:05] ah ic [17:18] oh jeez what did i do wrong [17:19] i tried to land D16 and smoething went weird [17:19] i think [17:19] @tsimonq2: ? [17:20] Oof, rookie mistake :) [17:20] i blame my instructor [17:20] Go to master and revert that commit you just made. Later I'll rewind both and force push. [17:21] When you do arc land, you have to do `arc land BRANCH` otherwise it automatically lands to master. [17:21] aw jeez that's dumb [17:21] So you just landed all of that to master. [17:21] Yeah ik :/ [17:21] tjat [17:21] So revert it, and retry it. [17:21] oops [17:21] that's particularly ungitlike [17:22] But you'll likely have to git merge the branch created by arc patch onto ubuntu/cosmic. [17:22] This part is weird and buggy, I know. :/ [17:23] ok i think i did the revert right [17:25] `git diff HEAD HEAD^^` returns null so that's a good sign [17:27] weird that i can do the arc patch but land fails [17:27] Huh [17:27] I dunno, dude. [17:29] nope can't do it [17:29] i give up [17:29] you fix it XD [17:29] Lazy XD [17:29] Let me sleep a little bit to let you wallow in shame [17:29] no effect [17:30] you'll just be making wendy sad [17:31] oh. i think i know why. it updated the whole differential https://phab.lubuntu.me/D16 [17:36] and even picking at just the diff (62) of the whole differential (D16) is still not enough. [17:50] Yay! You are making more progress than I was in actually getting it to land. [18:18] there i think i did it [18:18] problem was, again, the instructor [18:18] arc land --onto ubuntu/cosmic [18:20] ok let's try this again [18:24] ah well i was going to land D21 but it wants launchpad credentials which then doesn't seem to accept [18:28] maybe if i change the remote to git+ssh instead of http [18:43] that seems to work but cosmic doesn't exist in remote origin bah [18:52] well i give up on that. @tsimonq2 got any clues? [18:52] git merge arcpatch-D12 or whatever and push. [18:53] Using arc patch makes its own Git branch locally. [18:53] or whatever? [18:53] Whatever the branch name is. [18:53] let's make sure we get this right [18:53] so you wnat me to arc patch [18:54] and then what? git checkout cosmic? [18:55] and then git merge arcpatch-Dwhatever? [18:55] why doesn't this just work with arc land? [18:56] Yeah [18:56] Because arc land is stupid, that's why :) [18:56] that seems like a less likely explanation [18:56] Bet [18:57] so you have no clue. got it [18:57] I get it to work locally that way. [18:57] Right, I don't. [18:57] :) [18:57] You think I'm just being a bad instructor? I had to clumsily step through this myself. XD [18:58] hm [18:59] i wonder if it's not the changing of the origin that messes with things [18:59] using stupid arc puts me off upstreaming patches to KDE [18:59] well often times it's so much easier it's ridiculous [18:59] but these edge cases good god [19:00] @acheronuk [using stupid arc puts me off upstreaming patches to KDE], Oh so KDE has the same problems? [19:00] wxl: Maybe poke around there? [19:00] dunno. but the docs are **it [19:01] hah now THAT is true [19:01] https://discourse.phabricator-community.org/t/documentation-for-bin-commands/1928 [19:01] apparently the developers are allergic to making it better, too [19:02] Hahahahahaha === shalokshalom is now known as ShalokShalom [19:13] i tried explicitly setting the branch tracking to no avail [19:15] oh well that's done [19:15] another one for Hans [19:17] maybe if we actually had that on phab as opposed to launchpad that might make a difference [19:17] Let's move it then. [19:17] I can in a bit.
