do I need to install 'wireless-tools' at all?
coreutil 2017-03-09 07:54:18
it is referred as prereq. on wiki
greycat 2017-03-09 07:54:34
If it is literally required by the package, apt will pull it in.
coreutil 2017-03-09 07:55:08
ah, ok, thanks
coreutil 2017-03-09 07:56:11
will be back in a min
Iridos 2017-03-09 07:57:50
well, but the firmware package doesn't depend on anything because it only contains the firmware blob… which I guess is loaded in by the kernel itself in some way…
Iridos 2017-03-09 07:58:31
but seems to me like you need/want wirelesstools if you actually want to use the wireless
coreutil 2017-03-09 07:58:49
back again..I installed firmware-iwlwifi. do I need to restart?
jpw 2017-03-09 07:59:30
you shouldnt have to
jpw 2017-03-09 08:00:09
if you type `ip l\ you should see your wireless card
coreutil 2017-03-09 08:00:46
jpw, I installed them all, but no wifi appeared. now that I restarted, I have the,
coreutil 2017-03-09 08:00:48
them*

by the way, so I dont need to install the deb package from the net?
greycat 2017-03-09 08:01:42
coreutil: you should be installing everything with apt-get
greycat 2017-03-09 08:01:49
(or aptitude, or apt, or synaptic)
coreutil 2017-03-09 08:01:52
greycat, right
n4dir 2017-03-09 08:02:03
no, you use apt-get, aptitude or one of the gui frontends (synaptic?) coreutil
n4dir 2017-03-09 08:02:25
dang, too slow
stoned 2017-03-09 08:02:28
sometimes you can install from the net, using a .deb packages (which is not in repository) but that's not uspported
stoned 2017-03-09 08:02:39
only official reposityr packages are uspported (techsupport wise)
greycat 2017-03-09 08:03:45
For coreutil in particular, that would be an EXTREMELY unwise idea. He doesn't even understand the basic concepts.
n4dir 2017-03-09 08:04:03
to solve the wireless problem you will probably have to offer some of this info: ifconfig, ifconfig -a, lspci ; or lspci | grep -i net (or such)
jpw 2017-03-09 08:04:03
*ahem* iwconfig or ip please :p
n4dir 2017-03-09 08:04:05
use pastebinit (the program) or a side like paste.debian.net to give that info
coreutil 2017-03-09 08:04:27
greycat before I talked to you here, I'd first found this deb page, and installed it, frankly. is my system darned forever now?
n4dir 2017-03-09 08:04:33
jpw: sure. old dogs don't learn new tricks. aka my fault
greycat 2017-03-09 08:04:45
coreutil: what *precisely* did you do? What commands did you run?
coreutil 2017-03-09 08:05:39
greycat, I went to the deb package page, clicked on 'all', selected a mirror and downloaded deb. then ran 'dpkg -i *.deb'
greycat 2017-03-09 08:05:58
Which packages did you install this way? What filenames?
coreutil 2017-03-09 08:07:38
it was 'firmware-iwlwifi_20161130-2_all.deb'
greycat 2017-03-09 08:08:29
That is the stretch version. So if you are really running stretch as you claimed, that should be perfectly fine. And apt-get install should do nothing since you already have the current version.
coreutil 2017-03-09 08:09:10
greycat, so it was fine to download from the wild web instead of apt-get?
greycat 2017-03-09 08:09:35
No. You got lucky.
stoned 2017-03-09 08:09:42
web is wild.
stoned 2017-03-09 08:09:48
web gone wild.
dowwie 2017-03-09 08:10:53
debian stretch cannot come quickly enough
coreutil 2017-03-09 08:11:59
can I get sha256sum etc. from somewhere? I cant see it on the page
greycat 2017-03-09 08:13:23
wooledg@wooledg:~$ type sha256sum
greycat 2017-03-09 08:13:40
sha256sum is /usr/bin/sha256sum
greycat 2017-03-09 08:13:40
wooledg@wooledg:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/sha256sum
greycat 2017-03-09 08:13:40
coreutils: /usr/bin/sha256sum
sonOfRa 2017-03-09 08:13:40
sha256sum is part of coreutils, isn't it
greycat 2017-03-09 08:13:40
Yes.
BluesKaj 2017-03-09 08:13:40
dowwie, it's stable for home users who don't kmail/PIM/akonadi/mysql
jpw 2017-03-09 08:13:40
yea it should be standard
BluesKaj 2017-03-09 08:13:40
need
greycat 2017-03-09 08:13:40
Not just standard. Required.
coreutil 2017-03-09 08:13:40
I found the sha256sum by command line, but I need to compare it with the one on download page
greycat 2017-03-09 08:13:40
coreutil: what the FUCK are you talking about
coreutil 2017-03-09 08:13:59
greycat, maybe go grab a coffee?
jpw 2017-03-09 08:14:33
im fairly sure he's trolling now
n4dir 2017-03-09 08:16:41
yup
BluesKaj 2017-03-09 08:17:05
greycat, easy now....
dowwie 2017-03-09 08:17:05
wait, mysql is bundled in stretch?
jpw 2017-03-09 08:17:05
coreutil: in case you are being serious `sha256sum --version`
jpw 2017-03-09 08:17:05
however if you're not, please quit. thanks
coreutil 2017-03-09 08:17:05
jpw I thing those here didnt understand my sentence. I just meant to say that I precisely did that on terminal
TomTomTosch 2017-03-09 08:17:05
you want the hash to check if the package you downloaded is not corrupted?
BluesKaj 2017-03-09 08:17:05
dowwie, yes
jhutchins_wk 2017-03-09 08:17:05
dowwie: Bundled?
dowwie 2017-03-09 08:17:05
BluesKaj: is postgres ?
greycat 2017-03-09 08:17:07
If you want to replace your manual download with the one from apt, use: apt-get --reinstall install pkgname
dowwie 2017-03-09 08:17:40
ah I understand now, nvmd
BluesKaj 2017-03-09 08:17:46
dowwie, no postgres
coreutil 2017-03-09 08:17:57
and I need to verify the terminal output by comparing it to the value on the download page. right?
jpw 2017-03-09 08:18:06
coreutil: you were talking about firmware-iwlwifi a second ago. I assume english isn't your first language but please articulate ecaxtly what you would like help with. im very confused right now :)
jpw 2017-03-09 08:18:44
yes that is correct.
greycat 2017-03-09 08:18:57
terminal output OF WHAT. FOR WHAT PURPOSE. WHY.
coreutil 2017-03-09 08:19:19
greycat, feel free to withdraw from conversation if that doesnt appeal to you
greycat 2017-03-09 08:19:42
coreutil: feel free to stop being a fucking idiot
jpw 2017-03-09 08:20:15
greycat: please keep it professional
n4dir 2017-03-09 08:20:26
someone has to say it
greycat 2017-03-09 08:20:44
He doesn't get to be an idiot and then insult me because I ask him to clarify. No.
coreutil 2017-03-09 08:21:22
fuck you dumbass! you insult people, who the fuck do you think you are? a troll or a FOSS developer?
heap_ 2017-03-09 08:21:36
auto eth0
coreutil 2017-03-09 08:21:38
in a place like FOSS what do you have to do?

helped, thanks it leases its ip
