ragecraze 2017-01-27 14:46:54
reisio?
reisio 2017-01-27 14:47:53
ragecraze: probably like this: https://www.linuxbabe.com/linux-server/how-to-enable-etcrc-local-with-systemd
reisio 2017-01-27 14:47:58
unfortunately I don't follow systemd usage
rifter 2017-01-27 14:47:59
eddy, you may have to install proprietary drivers or something ..
reisio 2017-01-27 14:48:04
(because I have standards :p)
rifter 2017-01-27 14:48:27
ok no problem eddy if you open a terminal you can try the lspci command
rifter 2017-01-27 14:48:42
that will give you the model of your card .. it will give you a bunch of other junk ytoo
rifter 2017-01-27 14:48:58
but you're lookng for the wifi adapter
ragecraze 2017-01-27 14:49:01
reisio bro this is too complicated for me, do i have to cd somewhere and make a text file there? if so please explain in easy words
rifter 2017-01-27 14:50:09
if it is not an internal card or built into the system, and is instead a usb adapter, lsusb is the command you want
rifter 2017-01-27 14:50:50
once we know what kind of adapter you have, we can find more accurate steps. Also what version of Ubuntu did you install?
rifter 2017-01-27 14:51:24
if you do this command: cat /etc/lsb-release
rifter 2017-01-27 14:51:31
it will show that if you don't know
eddy 2017-01-27 14:52:39
rifter My wifi adapter is intel dual band AC-7265. The ubuntu version I have installed is 16.04.
rifter 2017-01-27 14:53:08
lsusb : lists all plugged in usb devices. lspci: lists all pci devices (just think stuff that is inside the computer). cat just outputs a file's contents and /etc/lsb-release si a file Ubuntu puts there with release information
ragecraze 2017-01-27 14:53:15
reisio??
rifter 2017-01-27 14:53:16
ok cool
ragecraze 2017-01-27 14:53:22
reisio??
rifter 2017-01-27 14:55:17
I'm looking into it now
eddy 2017-01-27 14:55:32
k thanks
rifter 2017-01-27 14:58:19
I'm finding some information .. I know that ages past there was some stuff I had to install for my wifi to work. I'm looking at what some other people with your card encountered
LuMint 2017-01-27 14:59:20
hello. I run ubuntu 14.04. Should I install the kernel 3.13.0-98 or 3.16.0-77?
LuMint 2017-01-27 14:59:54
i have an older graphics card (nvidia-173) whose drivers doesn't compile for any newer kernel, so that's not an option.
rifter 2017-01-27 15:00:15
I found this page on intel's site has some links t o firmware to your card, but I'm hesitant to say do that, because there used to be packages that installed the right firmware files. I need to look further before suggesting something that manual
Bashing-om 2017-01-27 15:01:17
LuMint: Unless you gave some reason .. stay on the 3.13 series kernel . Greater compatibility .
LuMint 2017-01-27 15:02:38
thanks
LuMint 2017-01-27 15:02:47
Bashing-om: which is more secure, though?
LuMint 2017-01-27 15:03:32
I couldn't find any info on the date 77 and 98 were released
Bashing-om 2017-01-27 15:04:31
LuMint: security on either is not an issue . Same same considerations .
Bashing-om 2017-01-27 15:05:23
!info linux-image-generic trusty | LuMint

rifter 2017-01-27 15:07:57
eddy let's take this to a sidebar . looks like we have a lot to check
eddy 2017-01-27 15:08:14
what is a sidebar?
nathani 2017-01-27 15:09:54
anyone know how I can get gnome-terminal running on Windows 10? bash / export DISPLAY=:0 && gnome-terminal Doesnt seem to work
Bashing-om 2017-01-27 15:10:53
!ubuwin | nathani
ubottu 2017-01-27 15:10:53
nathani: Canonical and Microsoft have announced that Windows 10 will be able to run Ubuntu programs without needing porting/recompilation. This functionality is still in beta and is not supported in #ubuntu. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows.
nathani 2017-01-27 15:12:20
Bashing-om: cool, except theres only 12 ppl in there :-(
Bashing-om 2017-01-27 15:14:48
nathani: That has nothing to do with the fact that we here do not do Windows .. even in ubuntu . Few here would have any idea .

Hi guys ineed some help. Im trying to edit a config file for my Ark server. But the file i need to edit aint so easy to edit. i have mceditor but when i type mcedit GameUserSettings.ini the file is emty. do i use vim then i have to do vim ark/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/Linuxserver/GameUserSettings.ini/GameUserSettings.ini to gain acces ?
Lassem 2017-01-27 15:22:57
how do i define the 2 string to mcedit ?
Lassem 2017-01-27 15:24:18
any one ?
Lassem 2017-01-27 15:24:19
:)
Amm0n 2017-01-27 15:24:39
A .ini should editable by any text editor
Lassem 2017-01-27 15:25:25
Yea i know
Lassem 2017-01-27 15:25:30
but
Lassem 2017-01-27 15:26:21
I need to use edit but i only know how to tell it what name it is. its like its a .ini inside a .ini
timetocode 2017-01-27 15:27:05
Are there date-related variables useable in systemd services? I want to start a service with something like this: ExecStart=/path/to/nodejs /srv/www/somesite/app.js > /srv/log/app-*DATETIME*-log.txt
timetocode 2017-01-27 15:28:14
Im a little new to linux so incase that is unclear the goal is to have a service that starts node and pipes to a log whose filename has a date in it (i dont want to overwrite logs if the service restarts)
Amm0n 2017-01-27 15:33:27
Lassem, i don't know what you mean by that. Afaik a .ini is just a textfile. Maybe its related to encoding?
Lassem 2017-01-27 15:34:49
When i type dir ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini
Lassem 2017-01-27 15:35:04
it says: ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini

http://askubuntu.com/questions/877081/will-a-thinkpad-x61-run-ubuntu
Lassem 2017-01-27 15:35:39
so how can i edit GameUserSettings.ini when there is 2 strings called the same ?
mann 2017-01-27 15:35:56
Lassem, cd ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini/
mann 2017-01-27 15:36:02
vi GameUserSettings.ini
rifter 2017-01-27 15:36:09
guys I'm getting pulled into some stuff .. is there maybe someone who can help eddy with setting up his wifi adapter? I found some links to info but in order to troubleshoot my other problem I keep having to kill my browser
rifter 2017-01-27 15:36:22
which is kind of making it hard to research his problem :P
Lassem 2017-01-27 15:37:05
if im doin cd ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini/
Lassem 2017-01-27 15:37:13
its says its not a dir
rifter 2017-01-27 15:38:40
I just don't want him to have to wait on me
mann 2017-01-27 15:40:12
Lassem, what does vi ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini do for you?
Lassem 2017-01-27 15:42:03

Lassem 2017-01-27 15:42:20

pauljw 2017-01-27 15:43:29
Lassem, have you tried nano?
Lassem 2017-01-27 15:43:37
nano ?
pauljw 2017-01-27 15:44:09
just another editor that is a bit easier to figure out than vi
hiexpo 2017-01-27 15:44:20
