| [04:09] <bnmorgan> In tinkering and getting ready for raspberry pi that will be here (in june) i installed ubuntu in a VM, and it seems to be working, but i have one main problem | |
| [04:10] <bnmorgan> what do i do with it? I mean, I need some purpose for it....it seems straight forward enough that I don't really know what niche it fills that I need it for. | |
| [04:12] <philipballew> well I use it to do everything I need for a computer | |
| [04:12] <philipballew> what do you do with your computer currently bnmorgan | |
| [04:12] <bnmorgan> unfortunatly due to my cad program, that isn't really an option for me. | |
| [04:13] <philipballew> because it can probably do most all of that, plus diffrent things | |
| [04:13] <bnmorgan> engineering with a particular cad program that isn't linux friendly. | |
| [04:13] <philipballew> yeah, but you probably do other things as well. it can do that | |
| [04:13] <bnmorgan> have been begging for a linux version of it since i started using it 14 years ago | |
| [04:13] <philipballew> autocad? | |
| [04:14] <bnmorgan> right, i surf, play a few games, btc/gpu mining, and that's about it. | |
| [04:14] <bnmorgan> no, solidworks. | |
| [04:14] <philipballew> bitcoin huh? | |
| [04:14] <philipballew> is that profitable? | |
| [04:15] <bnmorgan> i even installed ubuntu a while back as a separate OS, but it was just too big a PITA to reboot when i needed cad. | |
| [04:15] <Unit193> You can stick screen and alpine, irssi, newsbeuter, canto, or anything else on there and set it atop your router. | |
| [04:15] <bnmorgan> (and now i can't figure out how to undo that or remove its propensity to wantt to autoboot into linux) | |
| [04:15] <Unit193> Edit /etc/default/grub for that. | |
| [04:16] <Unit193> Also you can boot from a windows rescue disk and run `fixmbr` to remove Grub and then you should be able to remove that partition. | |
| [04:16] <bnmorgan> btc: yes, even with my slow card, i am profitable | |
| [04:17] <bnmorgan> i don't have a rescue disk, but will boot to the other side and come back when i have time and request direct instructions | |
| [04:17] <bnmorgan> not tonight, it's afer 2200 hrs and i am nearing braindead | |
| [04:17] <bnmorgan> ok, what are you talking about setting on my router? | |
| [04:20] <Unit193> Sticking the pi and directly plug it in. :P | |
| [04:21] <bnmorgan> ohh, i'm not that far along yet. | |
| [04:22] <bnmorgan> i'm talking about what to do with ubuntu in the meantime, the one i have running in VM | |
| [04:23] <Unit193> Whatever you like. | |
| [04:23] <Unit193> Install pianobar for one. ;) | |
| [04:35] <bnmorgan> i don't see a pianobar | |
| [04:36] <bnmorgan> i see pithos which is listed in reference | |
| [04:37] <bnmorgan> meh, tomorrow maybe | |
| [04:37] <bnmorgan> gnight and thanks for the info | |
| [04:38] <Unit193> ubot2`: !info pianobar | |
| [04:38] <Unit193> Right, good night! | |
| [05:03] <izpele> hello not sure if this is the right channel. But having problems with getting 11.10 to recognize my brother scanner. I run brsaneconfig -q and it does show my scanner but when i run scan program it doesn't find scanner? | |
| [05:05] <izpele> Hello, having problem with Brother scanner, anyone have any experience with gettin g 11.10 to recognize scanner? Printer works fine, but scanner does not recognize from scan util | |
| [05:06] <holstein> izpele: how is it connected? USB? | |
| [05:06] <izpele> wired network | |
| [05:07] <holstein> i would try via USB, just to have "some joy" | |
| [05:07] <izpele> lol... i would need a long usb cord | |
| [05:07] <holstein> network scanning might be more tricky... last time i looked at one, where was a web interface | |
| [05:09] <izpele> I am able to log on to web interface of scanner no prob thru browser.. | |
| [05:10] <izpele> the scanner is even recognized by brsaneconfig -q command.. but software doesn't find | |
| [05:11] <holstein> izpele: the webinterface im referencing allows scanning through it | |
| [05:12] <holstein> what scanner is it? | |
| [05:12] <izpele> 7820N | |
| [05:12] <izpele> MFC | |
| [05:15] <holstein> so, you are *not* going to take the thing over and plug it in via USB to troubleshoot? | |
| [05:16] <holstein> you are referencing http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/MFC-7820N ? | |
| [05:16] <izpele> yes | |
| [05:18] <holstein> izpele: i would start at "scanner" and just follow the steps | |
| [05:19] <izpele> i did.. everything checks out.. get the right responses and confirmation of installed scanner but scanner utils don't recognize it. using 64 bit version of 11.10.. not sure if that makes a diff | |
| [05:19] <holstein> could | |
| [05:20] <holstein> i choose my battles typically | |
| [05:20] <holstein> if there is not web interface to scan with, i would seriously plug it in and check | |
| [05:20] <holstein> i would also try with some live CD's | |
| [05:20] <holstein> try a 32bit 10.04 CD.. see if you can get it working, then you'll be more preparded | |
| [05:20] <holstein> prepared* | |
| [05:21] <izpele> hmm.. ok, i'll keep trying, thanks for your help. | |
| [05:33] <izpele> holstein - got it working! | |
| [05:36] <izpele> anyone who is using 64 bit 11.10 and trying to get network scanning working this is what i used: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1874323 | |
| [05:37] <nlsthzn> cool, always nice to see the forum being of assistance :) | |
| [09:03] <goodboy678> Hi, how do I work with RAW files on GIMP in Ubuntu 12.04? | |
| [09:05] <philipballew> goodboy678, good question | |
| [09:05] <goodboy678> I think UFRAW cuts it.. | |
| [09:06] <philipballew> #gimp would know probably | |
| [10:28] <s-fox> Heil. | |
| [13:22] <ubustudent> Can I set up a ubuntu server as a PDC on a small LAN and expect to be also an exchange type server as well as a file server and be able to administer it with a gui? The LAN has no internet connection and we want to keep it that way. | |
