[23:17:52 BST] Mike PReDiToR: oh
[23:18:41 BST] Mike PReDiToR: tar jxvf <file>
dpkg -i <files just extracted>
[23:18:53 BST] Tim's Mobile: so please repeat that command for unpack
[23:19:08 BST] Mike PReDiToR: ^^
[23:23:17 BST] Tim's Mobile: errors
[23:24:13 BST] Mike PReDiToR: Vague.
[23:24:26 BST] Tim's Mobile: very
[23:25:07 BST] Mike PReDiToR: Have you tried plugging your phone into your Ubuntu? Mine comes up as a modem and just works.
[23:25:46 BST] Tim's Mobile: when run in Gdebi says broken dep
[23:26:02 BST] Mike PReDiToR: WTF is Gdebi?
[23:26:52 BST] Tim's Mobile: what happens when double click on a .deb
[23:27:09 BST] Mike PReDiToR: for fuck's sake tim. use the CLI
[23:28:23 BST] Tim's Mobile: so whats that viewer
[23:28:29 BST] Mike PReDiToR: what?
[23:28:50 BST] Mike PReDiToR: terminal
[23:28:58 BST] Mike PReDiToR: use the terminal
[23:29:02 BST] Tim's Mobile: that log viewer
[23:29:05 BST] Mike PReDiToR: Command Line Interface
[23:29:15 BST] Mike PReDiToR: that won't make a difference here.
[23:29:20 BST] Mike PReDiToR: Open the terminal
[23:29:58 BST] Mike PReDiToR: dpkg -i the files, one at a time, or all at once ... don't know how they will work out, but they might need other files too *sigh*
[23:30:19 BST] Tim's Mobile: exactly
[23:30:40 BST] Tim's Mobile: next?
[23:32:26 BST] Mike PReDiToR: dunno. you tell me. what's happened? you installed some of those files?
[23:39:52 BST] Tim's Mobile: i did libc6
[23:42:39 BST] Tim's Mobile: it had errors
[23:43:03 BST] Mike PReDiToR: Oh, you're still alive!
What were the errors, pray tell?
[23:43:18 BST] Tim's Mobile: tried it in the gui
[23:43:48 BST] Tim's Mobile: gui said dep
[23:44:08 BST] Mike PReDiToR: Remember Tim, it's your time you're wasting.
[23:44:24 BST] Mike PReDiToR: If you insist on using the pictures you won't get the information I need.
[23:44:55 BST] Tim's Mobile: so thats all i did
[23:45:32 BST] Mike PReDiToR: Well, when you're ready to try it properly give me a shout.
[23:49:45 BST] Tim's Mobile: so the last thing in dmesg is the phone going in and out despite trying dpkg again
[23:50:49 BST] Tim's Mobile: oh so logs for errors ? howto
[23:50:49 BST] Mike PReDiToR: *sigh*
[23:51:31 BST] Mike PReDiToR: Open a terminal. cd to the dir where your .DEBs are. dpkg -i the files in that dir.
[23:52:29 BST] Tim's Mobile: i stopped when the first one threw error
[23:52:56 BST] Mike PReDiToR: do't stop, carry on
[23:53:26 BST] Mike PReDiToR: they aren't in order and they depend on each other.
[23:53:29 BST] Tim's Mobile: you mean ignore errors?
[23:53:44 BST] Mike PReDiToR: I mean run dpkg -i for each file
[23:53:47 BST] Mike PReDiToR: and then again
[23:54:08 BST] Mike PReDiToR: and you might find they all install ... unless they need something that I didn't download
[23:55:17 BST] Tim's Mobile: k
Friday, 22 April 2011
[00:00:13 BST] Tim's Mobile: so no more errors
[00:01:06 BST] Mike PReDiToR: Wow, it's like you did as you were told and it worked.
Man, if only you knew someone who had an idea what they were talking about and was prepared to spend their valuable time giving you instructions to follow ...
[00:01:54 BST] Mike PReDiToR: Right. Now that you've done that, you can try installing (dpkg -i) aircrack and iw
[00:01:57 BST] Tim's Mobile: /sarcasm
[00:02:08 BST] Tim's Mobile: k
[00:02:30 BST] Mike PReDiToR: oh no ... the / suggests that it is over. There may be more if you don't listen to me.
[00:02:30 BST] Mike PReDiToR: I'm going to have bumsecks with my dog now, LOL!!
