[01:33] you need to give me context :) [01:33] sorry [01:33] it came with the linux drivers i downloaded from ralink [01:33] ok so the readme has a vi command that is not in the ubuntu wiki? [01:33] yes [01:34] what command? [01:34] Use "vi -b rt61sta.dat" to modify settings according to your need. [01:34] ryan_: ah but that is the same command as in the wiki, so you should be able to use that gedit command [01:35] Just heed the warning in the ubuntu wiki to only use ASCII characters [01:35] ok well i typed in the gedit command, and i dont see where to modify the settings [01:36] gksudo: unrecognized option `--encoding=ISO-8859-15' [01:36] i think i have a problem [01:36] erm ok [01:36] we'll use vi then [01:36] close all vi instances you have open [01:36] ESCAPE :q! [01:36] hey guys [01:36] should quit vi [01:37] mau: hi [01:37] i type "ESCAPE :q!"? [01:37] i'm not sure what the protocal is in irc... noob. may I ask a question? [01:37] ryan_: well instead of ESCAPE, you hit the escape button, then you type :q! [01:37] lol, ok [01:38] mau: sure, but you are usually better off starting in #ubuntu since there are more eyes there [01:38] good call, thanks [01:38] bash: :q!: command not found [01:38] ryan_: I mean in vi [01:39] ahh, im so lost [01:39] im sorry [01:39] ryan_: this is just to close any vi windows you have open so we can start over. Are there any open? [01:39] i dont even know what a vi window is [01:40] well your terminal will have a text editor [01:40] ok [01:41] 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 10226 9958 0 17:41 pts/1 00:00:00 grep vi [01:41] great, ok now what does the command 'pwd' return? [01:42] /home/ryan [01:42] ok, and this one: ls /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat* [01:43] no such file or directory [01:44] oops typo on my part [01:44] /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat [01:44] in green === Crusher [n=You@ppp69-128.lns3.adl2.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom [01:46] my fault, it should be: ls /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/.rt61sta.dat* [01:47] (it's ok if it gives you an error or nothing) [01:48] that time it said no such file or directory [01:48] ok so there should be no .swp file. What happens when you use vi now? sudo vi -b /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat [01:49] cool i think that worked [01:49] ryan_: do you know how to do basic editing in vi? [01:49] nope, lol [01:50] ryan_: if you want a good intro, run 'vimtutor' in another shell [01:50] ok thanks [01:50] ryan_: but basically, if you want to insert text, press i [01:51] i think it said only to use ascii text, is an under-score okay? [01:51] ryan_: the warning is only if you use gedit [01:51] _ should be ok [01:51] ok [01:52] SSID is the name of a network right? [01:53] no idea [01:53] oh [01:53] SSID= from the wiki [01:53] yes, i guess they mean the name of my lan? [01:54] ryan_: give it a try [01:56] how would i delete blank spaces from the vi [01:56] blank lines* [01:58] ryan_: ESCAPE :g/^\s*$/d [01:58] that deletes lines with only space on them too... [02:00] where do i type that [02:01] in vi [02:02] you press the escape button then type in that stuff after [02:02] when i do that i dont see anything come up [02:02] i have to press i [02:02] well when you press : you should see a : at the bottom left and then what you type goes there [02:07] another happy vi user === PriceChild [n=pricechi@ubuntu/member/pricechild] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === mau [n=mau@adsl-75-35-18-233.dsl.irvnca.sbcglobal.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === cyberjackal [n=cyberjac@pool-70-109-61-28.clppva.fios.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === cyberjackal [n=cyberjac@pool-70-109-61-28.clppva.fios.verizon.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["WeeChat] === ash211 [n=andrew@71-86-32-82.static.stls.mo.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === hedix [i=usr25391@c1.edrana.lt] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === DerXero [n=patrick@dslb-082-083-136-076.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === DerXero [n=patrick@dslb-082-083-136-076.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === hedix [i=usr25391@c1.edrana.lt] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === ash211 [n=andrew@71-86-32-82.static.stls.mo.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === Crusher [n=You@ppp69-128.lns3.adl2.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === rhkfin [n=rhk@a88-114-123-46.elisa-laajakaista.fi] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === DBO [n=DBO@unaffiliated/dbo] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === hybrid [n=x@easyubuntu/supporter/hybrid] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === neuratix [n=lorents@ti521110a080-0483.bb.online.no] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === ryanakca [n=ryan@ubuntu/member/ryanakca] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === merriam [n=merriam@84-12-152-141.dyn.gotadsl.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === cpk1 [n=cpk1@sjs-130-65-211-115.sjsu.edu] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === jaba [n=jaba@jaba.mbnet.fi] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === EDVINAS_ [i=usr25414@c1.edrana.lt] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === nalioth_ [i=nalioth@freenode/staff/ubuntu.member.nalioth] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === hedix [i=usr25440@c1.edrana.lt] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === croppa [n=stuart@135.27.233.220.exetel.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === PriceChild [n=pricechi@ubuntu/member/pricechild] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === rhkfin [n=rhk@a88-114-123-46.elisa-laajakaista.fi] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === hedix [i=usr25484@c1.edrana.lt] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === BuffaloSoldier [n=firdaus@ubuntu/member/BuffaloSoldier] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === jrib [n=jasonr@upstream/dev/jrib] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === hedix [i=usr25489@c1.edrana.lt] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === LjL [n=ljl@unaffiliated/ljl] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === PriceChild [n=pricechi@ubuntu/member/pricechild] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === bigli [n=amir@85.198.21.82] has joined #ubuntu-classroom === itscoldoutside [n=chatzill@unaffiliated/itscoldoutside] has joined #ubuntu-classroom [02:40] bigli: what does this command return: apt-cache policy libgl1-mesa-dev [02:42] paste bin or normal paste?
