[00:02] <DanaG> Oh boy, 30% packet loss.
[00:03] <WelshDragon> ouch =\
[00:04] <DanaG> Oh, I see...
[00:04] <DanaG> that loss isn't between the iwl3945 one and the dd-wrt router...
[00:04] <DanaG> it's between the other PC (realtek rtl8187) and the router.
[00:05] <DanaG> USB wifi thingy is highly directional.
[00:11] <DanaG> Oh, and the USB wifi thingy is approximately scalding hot to the touch.
[00:26] <WelshDragon> How do you get something which is approximately hot =\
[01:21] <gluer> trying to get nvidia drivers installed on intrepid so i can test compiz, can someone point me in the right direction?

[03:41] <DanaG> The state of iwl3945 is STILL rather sucky.
[03:41] <DanaG> s/The state of //
[05:58] <mojo_> allright, I know that Intrepid will tend to be very unstable and things will break and yes, it is indeed break somehow, I got into an issue with every program loaded, the screen flicks to black then flick back to normal, I would like ask if any bugs has been logged and I would love to know how to fix this, cheers
[06:12] <darthanubis> Bug #237801
[06:13] <mojo_> Bug #10333
[07:20] <DanaG> Argh, stupid iwl3945.
[07:20] <DanaG> If you repeatedly do 'iwlist scan' --- half the time it shows nothing.
[07:20] <DanaG> ipw3945 didn't have that issue.
[07:40] <DanaG> Oh, I just love how 'iwlist scan' randomly decides to sometimes give nothing at all on my Intel 3945 card.
[07:44] <ionstorm> where is the alpha iso
[07:45] <DanaG> I ingested it.
[07:45] <DanaG> (kidding. =þ)
[07:45] <ionstorm> lol
[07:45] <ionstorm> id like to see how it runs on virtualbox
[07:46]  * ionstorm throws in his hat to alpha test it
[07:46] <ionstorm> i love when things break
[07:46] <ionstorm> so i can fix it or learn a bit more
[07:47] <DanaG> Ion storm?  As in Tiberian Sun?
[07:47] <DanaG> Ugh, I hated those storms -- they even dented the actual GROUND, if I remember correctly.
[07:48] <ionstorm> yea
[07:48] <ionstorm> lol
[12:37] <danbhfive> anyone know about driver detection, for things like printers and wifi, and webcams too?  Is there a way I could help with those projects?
[12:39] <elky> danbhfive, #ubuntu-motu is a great place to find out about how to help with development
[12:40] <danbhfive> elky: ah, ok
[12:40] <danbhfive> thanks
[12:40] <elky> no problem
[16:16] <hydrogen> hi I upgraded to intrepid on my companys login server and now it won't start, why did you make this availible?????
[16:18] <danbhfive> hydrogen: see the /topic
[16:18] <danbhfive> hydrogen: afaik, intrepid is not actually available
[16:28] <jrib> hydrogen: intrepid is still under heavy development.  It isn't intended for production environments.  It is only for testers and developers (and people who do not care if their machine explodes) until it is released in october
[20:43] <so2> did anyone get wireless working with iwl3945?
[20:44] <so2> with the 2.26 kernel ...
[20:49] <DanaG> I haven't installed that kernel, for exactly that reason: no ubuntu-modules package, and thus no iwl3945.
[20:49] <so2> ah k
[20:49] <so2> mhhh
[20:49] <so2> wait???
[20:49] <so2> aren't these things in restricted?!
[20:51] <so2> it's a bit wierd here ... i think i have anything i need ... i see the available access points, but can't connect to one ...
[20:51] <DanaG> Odd.
[20:51] <DanaG> One possible workaround: compile a new iwl3945 yourself.  http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download
[21:27] <Amaranth> so2: you just need the firmware
[21:28] <so2> where do i get it?
[23:54] <teamcobra> hello all... I've heard that the xen kernel and the standard kernel have been merged in ibex.... I'm running it right now, and everything is working nicely, except xen, xm list reports that xend isn't running
[23:57] <teamcobra> or have I just been misinformed? ;)
