Linux Lite Forums

You know what btsnpcs?
I followed what I was supposed to do in the first place without that extra $ and it did everything it was supposed to and it is now connected by wireless. I guess I just neede to slow down and read it all. Plus make sure synaptic was CLOSED!!!
LOL
The only line that did not work was the last one. sudo echo "b43" >> /etc/modules
and it only said permission denied. What does that mean.... not written in the grub or something?

The reference to the Linux/BSD: sharing was what I followed and it worked.

Thanks for the assist.

That is great news. Glad I was able to assist.
It may be worth saving the Linux BSD code as snippet in a text file on a memory stick, as it will come in use for when you do any future installs.

I checked the files that were removed for you -
These are all to do with LibreOffice -
Removing libcdr-0.0-0 (0.0.15-1ubuntu1) ...
Removing libmspub-0.0-0 (0.0.6-1ubuntu2) ...
Removing liborcus-0.6-0 (0.5.1-7) ...
Removing libvisio-0.0-0 (0.0.31-1ubuntu2) ...
Removing libwps-0.2-2 (0.2.9-2ubuntu1) ...
Removing libwpg-0.2-2 (0.2.2-1ubuntu1) ...
Removing libwpd-0.9-9 (0.9.9-1) ...

This is for Kernal Developers -
Removing module-assistant (0.11.6) ...

This is security related and its why it is removed -
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-0ubuntu6.3) ...

Man pages are information/manuals
Processing triggers for man-db (2.6.7.1-1) ..

Oh yeah... Good Idea. never thought of that. I will save it as a text now.. then move it to a stick or something.

Thanks again for the assist.

That"s how its done!!!!

On this website they show 3 ways to do the last command, do either of the other 2 work for you ?

1. execute the command as root:

2. use the "tee" command:

3. execute the command in a root shell:

I am trying them now. What exactly am I supposed to see when it works right?

So far the first one has this:
ohjrson@ohjrson-Aspire-3000:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for ohjrson:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for ohjrson:
root@ohjrson-Aspire-3000:/home/ohjrson# echo "b43" >>/etc/modules
root@ohjrson-Aspire-3000:/home/ohjrson#
? now what?

I am unsure what the output will be when it works, I have only recently begun to learn how to use the terminal, I have just completed Chapter 1 so far, but am enjoying it.

As a guess only, which is not very useful :-[, I would think the echo command will listen and give results of the driver/wifi .

This website has some info on the echo command you may enjoy, it is the online version of the book, there is also a free pdf of the book, I have just finished Chapter 1 of, Scott(0) made a post about the book and it is how I found to about it. I am going to buy a hard copy of the book now I know I like it and can follow the book style.

Ok I took a look at the /etc/modules and b43 is written in there, twice now because I did it again. Not sure if that will effect anything but I guess I will find out next boot.

I am assuming that command writes what is in " " to the file specified. in this case the modules file that opens when LL boots. Echo >> would tell LL to place it where the file is /etc and of course the file is /modules....

I am just guessing here...

We will see..
Thanks again for the assist. And happy windows burning....LOL

Thank You for explaining.

You're welcome.

Correct.

">>" appends the "b43" to the end of the file (adds it to what is already there).

">" replaces the contents of the file with whatever is specified by echo command

You can open the file in leafpad as root and delete that last instance of b43 -- you only need one line for it.

Then just save the changes and close leafpad when done.

Ok, hey thats great. Did that and it now shows only one instance of b43 however there is 2 instances of lp in there does that make a difference?

Thanks.
