[09:34] <Nailor> yuriy: Hi
[01:54] <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] <Treenaks> malice: you might need to supply power
[01:54] <Treenaks> malice: and is it PCMCIA or Cardbus?
[01:54] <malice> yes
[01:54] <malice> my usb port on the back on the laptop is broke 
[01:54] <Treenaks> that's not a yes/no answer
[01:54] <Treenaks> malice: is it a PCMCIA card,  or is it a Cardbus card?
[01:54] <malice> card bus
[01:54] <Treenaks> ok
[01:54] <malice> b 2.0 cardbus pc card
[01:54] <Treenaks> does it show up in 'lspci' output?
[01:54] <malice> I am a newbie
[01:55] <Treenaks> then perhaps asking on #ubuntu is a better idea
[01:55] <malice> I did they do not reply
[01:55] <malice> :)
[01:55] <Treenaks> however, please check if it shows up in the device manager, and also check if it might need an external power connection
[01:55] <malice> there is another power connector but it goes to the usb port 
[01:56] <malice> and it is broke
[01:56] <malice> :)
[02:11] <malice> I 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 help
[02:11] <Treenaks> USB usually takes 5V
[02:12] <Treenaks> or actually
[02:12] <Treenaks> delivers 5V on 2 of the 4 pins
[02:12] <Treenaks> check the relevant standard ;)
[02:13] <malice> I have a volt meter I will just check then splice the wire and go out and get a adaptor :)
[02:21] <Treenaks> don't do that... supplying power is 'special' in usb
[05:27] <malice_> Is there a way to add Windows blue screen of death to my ubuntu only Laptop? I would like this to pop up oh say every minute or so....
[05:28] <jsgotangco> huh?
[05:29] <jsgotangco> get the screensaver, there's one full of BSODs
[05:29] <giftnudel> malice_: there is a screensaver
[05:29] <jsgotangco> windows, macs, take your pick
[05:30] <malice_> thanks
[05:50] <yuriy> Nailor: you did the testing page on the asus v6j?
[07:03] <Nailor> yuriy: Yeah, I've been filling it up (and created it originally too)
[07:03] <Nailor> Some other contributors there too
[07:08] <Nailor> yuriy: why? You got something to contribute/add there? =)
[07:27] <Rroet> anyway, ik ben afk vanavond.
[07:27] <Rroet> Ik type morgen weer met jullie :)
[09:06] <lazzarello> I'm running into playback and recording problems with dapper on a macbook. recording doesn't record and playback has no volume control.
[09:07] <lazzarello> the driver is snd_hda_intel
[09:07] <crimsun> known issues, should be addressed in next kernel.
[09:07] <lazzarello> cool. is the patch in the upstream kernel?
[09:08] <crimsun> no
[09:08] <lazzarello> better said, can I build my own kernel for the time being?
[09:08] <crimsun> a new vmlinuz won't help you. The patches aren't in linus's tree.
[09:09] <crimsun> btw, "next kernel" above refers to the next Ubuntu revision for Dapper.
[09:10] <lazzarello> thanks
[10:38] <yuriy> Nailor: yeah i just got one and installed edgy on it and wanted to contribute
[10:38] <yuriy> Nailor: i've also had a couple problems and i wanted to ask if you've run into them
[10:44] <Nailor> yuriy: just shoot me here or to my mail, jyrki.pulliainen@gmail.com
[10:44] <yuriy> Nailor: well, one thing, does sleep/suspend work consistently for you?
[10:45] <Nailor> Yeah
[10:45] <Nailor> It though requires nvidia-glx to be installed
[10:45] <Nailor> The only problem so far I've found out was installing banshee (propably libipoddev or some other package it depended on) broke the suspend
[10:46] <yuriy> Nailor: 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 state
[10:46] <Nailor> Hmm.
[10:46] <Nailor> I've got that once or twice
[10:46] <yuriy> kubuntu btw
[10:46] <Nailor> Oh. I've got ubuntu, but don't think there's a big difference
[10:47] <Nailor> Anyway, I've got that once or twice and I'm rationaling that it might have something to do with package installs 
[10:48] <yuriy> Nailor: 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 ip
[10:48] <Nailor> That's a problem I'm familiar with
[10:48] <yuriy> (also i haven't gotten wpa working yet but i think i just need to find the right howto)
[10:50] <Nailor> For me, the wpa works. I've even struggled with the 'most powerful' type of wpa encryption, having certificates and keys, and it works just fine
[10:50] <Nailor> Somehow the NetworkManager (a Gnome wlan connection manager) didn't cope with that, but wpa_supplicant did
[10:50] <yuriy> Nailor: using what? knetworkmanager isn't showing any networks for me
[10:51] <yuriy> Nailor: a link to how to use wpa_supplicant if you don't mind?
[10:51] <Nailor> Oh yeah, the NetworkManager daemon has a kubuntu frontend too
[10:51] <Nailor> Just a sec
[10:52] <Nailor> There's a conf file I've used once: http://mursu.dyndns.biz/~nailor/ukuwlan.conf
[10:53] <Nailor> I had to turn off (disable networking) from NetworkManager and use plain wpa_supplicant / iwconfig
[10:54] <Nailor> wpa_supplicant -c/path/to/ukuwlan.conf -Dwext -B did the trick
[10:54] <Nailor> Oh, the file shows all the passwords and other too.. Well, those were valid for one confrence only =)
[10:55] <yuriy> Nailor: it stores the password unencrypted? o_O
[10:56] <Nailor> Well, if you want
[10:57] <Nailor> See man wpa_passphrase for encrypting the passphrases
[10:57] <yuriy> thanks
[10:57] <Nailor> Haven't used it since I don't have WPA in active use at home
[10:57] <Nailor> My 166MHz IBM laptop can handle only WEP :P
[11:03] <Nailor> well. 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] <Nailor> s/bead/bed
[11:04] <Nailor> Have fun with the V6J and contribute as much as you can about edgy to the wiki =)
[11:05] <yuriy> k night
