| ryan_ | ok, im trying to install drivers for my wireless card because it wont recognize ine | 01:28 |
| ryan_ | mine* | 01:28 |
| jrib | have you checked the ubuntu wiki for ubuntu-friendly instructions? or is that what you are using? | 01:28 |

| ryan_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT61?action=show&redirect=Rt61WirelessCardsHowTo | 01:29 |
| jrib | ok then :) | 01:29 |
| ryan_ | yes, im using that doc above | 01:29 |
| jrib | ryan_: notice that it may be easier for you to use gedit | 01:29 |
| ryan_ | can i open this dat file with gedit and make the changes that i need | 01:30 |
| jrib | ryan_: that is what the document you linked to says (it gives you the proper switch for gedit right below the vi command) | 01:30 |
| ryan_ | i put in this command: gksudo gedit --encoding=ISO-8859-15 /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat | 01:31 |
| jrib | yep, that seems right | 01:32 |
| ryan_ | then i went into the readme where it told me to use the vi command, and now im stuck | 01:32 |
| jrib | ryan_: what readme? | 01:33 |
| jrib | you need to give me context :) | 01:33 |
| ryan_ | sorry | 01:33 |
| ryan_ | it came with the linux drivers i downloaded from ralink | 01:33 |
| jrib | ok so the readme has a vi command that is not in the ubuntu wiki? | 01:33 |
| ryan_ | yes | 01:33 |
| jrib | what command? | 01:34 |
| ryan_ | Use "vi -b rt61sta.dat" to modify settings according to your need. | 01:34 |
| jrib | ryan_: ah but that is the same command as in the wiki, so you should be able to use that gedit command | 01:34 |
| jrib | Just heed the warning in the ubuntu wiki to only use ASCII characters | 01:35 |
| ryan_ | ok well i typed in the gedit command, and i dont see where to modify the settings | 01:35 |
| ryan_ | gksudo: unrecognized option `--encoding=ISO-8859-15' | 01:36 |
| ryan_ | i think i have a problem | 01:36 |
| jrib | erm ok | 01:36 |
| jrib | we'll use vi then | 01:36 |
| jrib | close all vi instances you have open | 01:36 |
| jrib | ESCAPE :q! | 01:36 |
| mau | hey guys | 01:36 |
| jrib | should quit vi | 01:36 |
| jrib | mau: hi | 01:37 |
| ryan_ | i type "ESCAPE :q!"? | 01:37 |
| mau | i'm not sure what the protocal is in irc... noob. may I ask a question? | 01:37 |
| jrib | ryan_: well instead of ESCAPE, you hit the escape button, then you type :q! | 01:37 |
| ryan_ | lol, ok | 01:37 |
| jrib | mau: sure, but you are usually better off starting in #ubuntu since there are more eyes there | 01:38 |
| mau | good call, thanks | 01:38 |
| ryan_ | bash: :q!: command not found | 01:38 |
| jrib | ryan_: I mean in vi | 01:38 |
| ryan_ | ahh, im so lost | 01:39 |
| ryan_ | im sorry | 01:39 |
| jrib | ryan_: this is just to close any vi windows you have open so we can start over. Are there any open? | 01:39 |
| ryan_ | i dont even know what a vi window is | 01:39 |
| jrib | well your terminal will have a text editor | 01:40 |
| ryan_ | ok | 01:40 |
| jrib | ryan_: if you don't see any then just type this command (in your terminal) and tell me the output: ps -ef | grep vi | 01:41 |
| ryan_ | ryan 10226 9958 0 17:41 pts/1 00:00:00 grep vi | 01:41 |
| jrib | great, ok now what does the command 'pwd' return? | 01:41 |
| ryan_ | /home/ryan | 01:42 |
| jrib | ok, and this one: ls /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat* | 01:42 |
| ryan_ | no such file or directory | 01:43 |
| ryan_ | oops typo on my part | 01:44 |
| ryan_ | /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat | 01:44 |
| ryan_ | in green | 01:44 |
| === Crusher [n=You@ppp69-128.lns3.adl2.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jrib | my fault, it should be: ls /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/.rt61sta.dat* | 01:46 |
| jrib | (it's ok if it gives you an error or nothing) | 01:47 |
| ryan_ | that time it said no such file or directory | 01:48 |
| jrib | ok so there should be no .swp file. What happens when you use vi now? sudo vi -b /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat | 01:48 |
| ryan_ | cool i think that worked | 01:49 |
| jrib | ryan_: do you know how to do basic editing in vi? | 01:49 |
| ryan_ | nope, lol | 01:49 |
| jrib | ryan_: if you want a good intro, run 'vimtutor' in another shell | 01:50 |
| ryan_ | ok thanks | 01:50 |
| jrib | ryan_: but basically, if you want to insert text, press i | 01:50 |
| ryan_ | i think it said only to use ascii text, is an under-score okay? | 01:51 |
| jrib | ryan_: the warning is only if you use gedit | 01:51 |
| jrib | _ should be ok | 01:51 |
| ryan_ | ok | 01:51 |
| ryan_ | SSID is the name of a network right? | 01:52 |
| jrib | no idea | 01:53 |
| ryan_ | oh | 01:53 |
| jrib | SSID=<SSID of your Access Point> from the wiki | 01:53 |
| ryan_ | yes, i guess they mean the name of my lan? | 01:53 |
| jrib | ryan_: give it a try | 01:54 |
| ryan_ | how would i delete blank spaces from the vi | 01:56 |
| ryan_ | blank lines* | 01:56 |
| jrib | ryan_: ESCAPE :g/^\s*$/d | 01:58 |
| jrib | that deletes lines with only space on them too... | 01:58 |
| ryan_ | where do i type that | 02:00 |
| jrib | in vi | 02:01 |
| jrib | you press the escape button then type in that stuff after | 02:02 |
| ryan_ | when i do that i dont see anything come up | 02:02 |
| ryan_ | i have to press i | 02:02 |
| jrib | well when you press : you should see a : at the bottom left and then what you type goes there | 02:02 |
| jrib | another happy vi user | 02:07 |
