[12:09] it works, most of the buttons on the front seem to work, except for the wireless [12:09] whats the laptop? [12:10] it's a Compaq (rebranded HP) Presario something or other [12:10] file bugs [12:10] I need to do dads laptop when he gets back [12:10] I would, if I could figure out the model number of this silly thing === Kamping_Kaiser hasnt used presarios [12:11] don't need it [12:12] Gnome runs OK on only 512Mb RAM; laggier than my desktop w/ the full Gb, though... [12:12] Burgundavia, no? [12:12] yes, machine has that information within it, jsut a sec [12:13] cat /var/lib/acpi-support/*-* [12:14] that will get you bios version, manufacturer, product name and system verison [12:14] and sudo dmidecode |less [12:15] HP/Presario V2000, [12:19] I'm not going to get into it tonight, but I want to poke at the wireless card in this thing a bit, see what it is and if it'll work on *nix. [12:20] lspci | grep Atheros [12:20] replace with Broadcom or Intel [12:21] 0000:05:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) [12:22] that should work with the builtin bcm43xx driver [12:22] but you need fwcutter [12:22] apt-get install fwcutter? [12:23] hmm, not certain the exact package [12:24] actually, it is showing up in System->Admin->Networking [12:26] the neighbors have an unsecured AP, so if it works I should be able to see it [12:28] hmm, Network Settings is claiming the wireless is now active, but the blue light on the wireless button doesn't want to come on [12:29] right, that is the lack of firmware speaking [12:29] OK [12:29] what do I use to browse available wireless networks? [12:30] welcome to pain [12:30] ah [12:31] try doing this "sudo dhclient eth0" (or 1, if eth1 is the wireless card) [12:31] in other news, the button to turn the touchpad on & off does work on this thing [12:31] anyway, I really need to sleep [12:31] will be awake again in a about 8 hours [12:31] but still online [12:32] OK, good night - I should crash too, and not get disracted by this laptop... [12:34] I keep automatically reaching for the mouse on this thing... or hitting the touchpad by accident... :| [12:36] anyway, going to crash too - night all. Let's see if hibernate works on this thing, so I don't have reboot the LiveCD when I wake up... === Kamping_Kaiser [n=kgoetz@easyubuntu/docteam/kgoetz] has joined #ubuntu-doc === jsgotangco [n=jsg123@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-doc === jono [n=jono@88-107-5-110.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc === tuxmaniac [n=aanjhan@unaffiliated/tuxmaniac] has joined #ubuntu-doc === ThiefOfBaghdad [n=aanjhan@unaffiliated/tuxmaniac] has joined #ubuntu-doc === jono [n=jono@88-107-5-110.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc === jsgotangco [n=jsg123@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-doc === glatzor [n=sebi@ppp-82-135-3-178.dynamic.mnet-online.de] has joined #ubuntu-doc [06:36] hey guys.

I was going to add it to the wiki and was just reading the guidelines about improving existing pages, but I am not sure if it fits in [11:22] right [11:22] here is a general feeling behind such large pages [11:23] rather than create one giant howto that is going to fester, fix up the postfix, dovecot and mysql pages [11:23] and then create a small howto that links there together [11:27] nixternal: you need to consider that new migration-assistant stuff [11:28] All the existing pages contain conflicting info. [11:30] Gargoyle: then fix them up === poningru [n=poningru@ip70-171-62-28.ga.at.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc [11:48] Burgundavia: I understand what your saying, but I think it would mess up existing pages if there was lots of sections for every possible config! [11:49] Gargoyle: you can link to the installation instructions and then have the config sutff that is specific to your stuff on the main page [11:51] Burgundavia: So I could create a DovecotMysqlVirtualUser page, that basically says follow the normal dovecot install [link] and then edit config file to look like this example... etc? [11:52] yep [11:52] and cleanup the other pages while are at it [11:56] Is it worth posting [maybe a PDF] to the mailing list to get some feedback first? [11:56] edit the wiki page and then ask for feedback [11:56] ok [11:56] I'll give it a shot. === Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #ubuntu-doc [12:00] thanks [12:06] Burgundavia: whats up with that migration-assistant stuff? is it alright to apply? or should I wait for mdke to make a decission on that? [12:06] i know he is on holiday for the next few weeks [12:06] time for some lasagna..i shall return ;) [12:06] nixternal: afaik, it is already in ubiquity as of 0.2
