malice I just got a new usb PCMCIA card for my laptop, but when I put it in and connect my usb device Ubuntu does not see anything. Anyone point me in the right direction?01:54
Treenaksmalice: you might need to supply power01:54
Treenaksmalice: and is it PCMCIA or Cardbus?01:54
maliceyes01:54
malicemy usb port on the back on the laptop is broke 01:54
Treenaksthat's not a yes/no answer01:54
Treenaksmalice: is it a PCMCIA card,  or is it a Cardbus card?01:54
malicecard bus01:54
Treenaksok01:54
maliceb 2.0 cardbus pc card01:54
Treenaksdoes it show up in 'lspci' output?01:54
maliceI am a newbie01:54
Treenaksthen perhaps asking on #ubuntu is a better idea01:55
maliceI did they do not reply01:55
malice:)01:55
Treenakshowever, please check if it shows up in the device manager, and also check if it might need an external power connection01:55
malicethere is another power connector but it goes to the usb port 01:55
maliceand it is broke01:56
malice:)01:56

maliceI took the power/ usb adapter over to the desktop pluged it in there then and turned on the laptop.. the car dnow works. I will have to find out the voltage that comes out of the usb and rig up a power adapter since my usb is brok on the laptop :) thanks for the help02:11
TreenaksUSB usually takes 5V02:11
Treenaksor actually02:12
Treenaksdelivers 5V on 2 of the 4 pins02:12
Treenakscheck the relevant standard ;)02:12
maliceI have a volt meter I will just check then splice the wire and go out and get a adaptor :)02:13
Treenaksdon't do that... supplying power is 'special' in usb02:21

lazzarelloI'm running into playback and recording problems with dapper on a macbook. recording doesn't record and playback has no volume control.09:06
lazzarellothe driver is snd_hda_intel09:07
crimsunknown issues, should be addressed in next kernel.09:07
lazzarellocool. is the patch in the upstream kernel?09:07
crimsunno09:08
lazzarellobetter said, can I build my own kernel for the time being?09:08
crimsuna new vmlinuz won't help you. The patches aren't in linus's tree.09:08
crimsunbtw, "next kernel" above refers to the next Ubuntu revision for Dapper.09:09
lazzarellothanks09:10

yuriyNailor: yeah i just got one and installed edgy on it and wanted to contribute10:38
yuriyNailor: i've also had a couple problems and i wanted to ask if you've run into them10:38
Nailoryuriy: just shoot me here or to my mail, jyrki.pulliainen@gmail.com10:44
yuriyNailor: well, one thing, does sleep/suspend work consistently for you?10:44
NailorYeah10:45
=== Lure [n=lure@ubuntu/member/lure] has joined #ubuntu-laptop
NailorIt though requires nvidia-glx to be installed10:45
NailorThe only problem so far I've found out was installing banshee (propably libipoddev or some other package it depended on) broke the suspend10:45
yuriyNailor: it's installed. but sometimes instead of suspending the screen turns off but the power light stays constantly on and fan spinning, and I can't get out of that state10:46
NailorHmm.10:46
NailorI've got that once or twice10:46
yuriykubuntu btw10:46
NailorOh. I've got ubuntu, but don't think there's a big difference10:46
NailorAnyway, I've got that once or twice and I'm rationaling that it might have something to do with package installs 10:47
yuriyNailor: and the other problem is if i turn off the wireless, then turn it back on, it's detected and stuff but connection says 0kb/s and can't get an ip10:48
NailorThat's a problem I'm familiar with10:48
yuriy(also i haven't gotten wpa working yet but i think i just need to find the right howto)10:48
NailorFor me, the wpa works. I've even struggled with the 'most powerful' type of wpa encryption, having certificates and keys, and it works just fine10:50
NailorSomehow the NetworkManager (a Gnome wlan connection manager) didn't cope with that, but wpa_supplicant did10:50
yuriyNailor: using what? knetworkmanager isn't showing any networks for me10:50
yuriyNailor: a link to how to use wpa_supplicant if you don't mind?10:51
NailorOh yeah, the NetworkManager daemon has a kubuntu frontend too10:51
NailorJust a sec10:51
NailorThere's a conf file I've used once: http://mursu.dyndns.biz/~nailor/ukuwlan.conf10:52
NailorI had to turn off (disable networking) from NetworkManager and use plain wpa_supplicant / iwconfig10:53
Nailorwpa_supplicant -c/path/to/ukuwlan.conf -Dwext -B did the trick10:54
NailorOh, the file shows all the passwords and other too.. Well, those were valid for one confrence only =)10:54
yuriyNailor: it stores the password unencrypted? o_O10:55
NailorWell, if you want10:56
NailorSee man wpa_passphrase for encrypting the passphrases10:57
yuriythanks10:57
NailorHaven't used it since I don't have WPA in active use at home10:57
NailorMy 166MHz IBM laptop can handle only WEP :P10:57
Nailorwell. I'll head for the bead, been a rough week and I've "shceduled" a server fixing for tomorrow (my home network file sharing / backup server)11:03
Nailors/bead/bed11:03
NailorHave fun with the V6J and contribute as much as you can about edgy to the wiki =)11:04
