simtowerhi02:22
XTorchedXso does ubuntu work on laptops?02:22
simtowerpretty good02:23
simtowerthe biggest problem is no support for voltage scaling so my laptop gets really hot02:23
simtowerbut other than that i like it02:23
simtoweryou can do voltage scaling but you have to roll your own kernel... kindof defeats the point of using ubuntu02:24
jlduggerno voltage scaling?02:26
XTorchedXthere'd be a lot of proprietry driver issues wouldn't there02:26
simtowerwell it does voltage scaling but only what the acpi table says, not user overridable02:26
simtowermine is kinda on the high side02:26
simtowerprocessor bumps up against the thermal limit at 89C with the values in that table02:27
crimsunXTorchedX: ati, nvidia, madwifi-ng are included02:27
XTorchedXahh ok02:27
jlduggerwhat's it take to get the nvidia driver to cooperate with hibernate?02:28
simtowera miracle02:38

malice_I am using a wireless PC card to get on the net on my laptop on wlan0 will this work to change my mac addy or do I need to change eth0 to wlan0 and what about the ether after the hw?01:48
malice_ifconfig eth0 hw ether 02:01:02:03:04:08 01:48
Treenakswhy would you want to change your mac address?01:50
malice_I do not want people to know who I am. I already use tor01:50
Treenakschanging your mac won't help01:50
malice_it wont? 01:51
Treenaksonly the computers connected directly to you 'see' your mac-address01:51
Treenaksnext router hop -> no more mac address, only IP01:51
malice_I would use a wireless connection at work01:51
Treenaks(well, actually, the mac of the router;s interface)01:51
malice_we are not really supposed to use it01:51
Treenaksthen don't01:51
malice_so if I use the wireless connection at work they never see my mac?01:52
giftnudelthere are usually reaons for rules ...01:52
giftnudelmalice_: oh, they will see your mac, just in the internet you won't bee seen01:52
malice_ok now that is why I asked if that command would work to spoof it01:53
malice_I know I have to turn it off before and turn it back on01:53
giftnudelI don't know how to do that, or if the command will work, I just know that it is somehow possible01:53
TreenaksI'd say: man ifconfig01:54
malice_I will try it later today :)01:54
NailorBut what does the spoofing help?01:54
NailorUnless you change it frequently enough01:54
malice_Spoofing will then not have them track me01:54
malice_on my laptop01:54
malice_be able to point the finger at my laptop01:55
NailorWell if you use a different mac, they propably can figure out what computer is using that mac anyway :p01:55
NailorAnd well, I really don't get your point why you're doing that, but that's no my problem either :P01:56
malice_I do not have a life01:57
malice_:)01:57
Nailor=)01:57
