| kaushal | hi | 06:19 |
|---|---|---|
| nisshh | kaushal, whats up? | 06:19 |
| kaushal | is there a irc channel for debugging wireless issues on Ubuntu ? | 06:21 |
| kaushal | I am faced with http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/533367/ | 06:22 |
| kaushal | nisshh: hi | 06:25 |
| nisshh | hmmm | 06:25 |
| nisshh | kaushal, where is that output from? a logfile? | 06:26 |
| kaushal | nisshh: Its from a daemon log | 06:28 |
| nisshh | kaushal, so is your wireless choppy? has dropouts? doesnt work at all? or what? | 06:29 |
| kaushal | wireless choppy ? | 06:30 |
| nisshh | kaushal, like is it slow sometimes | 06:33 |
| kaushal | yes | 06:33 |
| nisshh | ah ok | 06:34 |
| nisshh | kaushal, how often does that message appear in your logs? | 06:34 |
| kaushal | also is there a way to find lspci -vvv | grep "Network" | 06:34 |
| kaushal | I mean full output for the wireless card | 06:34 |
| kaushal | when i run that command i see only a line | 06:34 |
| nisshh | which is? | 06:35 |
| kaushal | 0c:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) | 06:35 |
| kaushal | and not details | 06:35 |
| blahdeblah | kaushal: I don't know about the avahi stuff, but that WPA supplicant stuff is just harmless noise, in my experience. | 06:35 |
| nisshh | well, thats because your being too specific with grep | 06:35 |
| kaushal | oh ok | 06:35 |
| nisshh | blahdeblah, +1 | 06:35 |
| kaushal | nisshh: so what would be the option for grep ? | 06:35 |
| kaushal | to print the rest of the lines | 06:35 |
| kaushal | is it -C 5 ? | 06:35 |
| nisshh | kaushal, try | grep wireless | 06:35 |
| blahdeblah | kaushal: Do you have a Windows laptop around? | 06:36 |
| kaushal | ok | 06:36 |
| nisshh | with no double quotes | 06:36 |
| * blahdeblah hangs his head in shame for having to ask the question | 06:36 | |
| kaushal | nisshh: nope | 06:36 |
| nisshh | blahdeblah, bad bad boy! :) | 06:36 |
| kaushal | it doesnot result anything | 06:36 |
| nisshh | kaushal, what info are you trying to find anyway? your IP address or something? | 06:36 |
| kaushal | nope | 06:37 |
| * blahdeblah slaps himself on the wrist, but consoles himself with his excellent taste in music presently playing. | 06:37 | |
| kaushal | nisshh: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/533369/ | 06:38 |
| kaushal | so i am interested to get that output using lscpi | 06:38 |
| blahdeblah | kaushal: In my experience, most problems with poor wifi performance are caused by interference. | 06:38 |
| kaushal | I know i can use lscpi -vvv | less | 06:38 |
| blahdeblah | If you're able to, download a copy of this http://xirrus.com/library/downloads/XirrusWiFiInspectorSetup.1.2.0.exe onto a Windows box, and do a quick survey of the area. | 06:38 |
| kaushal | but i need to go through each and every hardware | 06:38 |
| nisshh | kaushal, why? | 06:39 |
| nisshh | oh wait, i see | 06:39 |
| kaushal | blahdeblah: sure | 06:39 |
| kaushal | blahdeblah: what does it do ? | 06:39 |
| nisshh | kaushal, also, you are using the ath5k driver, which has known issues, so there is an ath9k driver too | 06:39 |
| blahdeblah | It tells you what wireless networks are in range, and how strong they are, etc. | 06:39 |
| kaushal | oh ok | 06:39 |
| kaushal | nisshh: sure | 06:39 |
| blahdeblah | When i did a survey around my place, i found that there was so much interference on the 2.4 GHz that it basically was not viable to use it at all. I ended up buying a 5 GHz-capable access point. | 06:40 |
| kaushal | nisshh: i was interested in that command | 06:40 |
| nisshh | blahdeblah, thats what the network indicator does on Ubuntu :) | 06:40 |
| nisshh | kaushal, ah ok | 06:40 |
| blahdeblah | nisshh: If you haven't used it, don't knock it - it's heaps better than anything i've found on Linux | 06:40 |
| nisshh | blahdeblah, fair enough i guess :) | 06:40 |
| kaushal | nisshh: basically how do i get that output | 06:40 |
| blahdeblah | kaushal: There were even some idiots in my area using channel 3 & 9, thereby trashing two channels at once! | 06:41 |
| kaushal | without going through each and every hardware | 06:41 |
| kaushal | nisshh: is it lspci -vvv | grep -C 10 "Network" | 06:41 |
| nisshh | kaushal, try grep Wireless or grep Network | 06:42 |
| nisshh | kaushal, also when using | less, you can use page up/down to scroll as well i think | 06:43 |
| blahdeblah | That's the way i would do it: lspci -vvv|less, then search for Network | 06:43 |
| nisshh | yeah | 06:45 |
| nisshh | blahdeblah, i bet darkrose would know how to do it more specifically :) | 06:45 |
| blahdeblah | so would man lspci, no doubt | 06:45 |
| darkrose | o.o | 06:46 |
| nisshh | haha | 06:46 |
| nisshh | the beast awakens :) | 06:46 |
| darkrose | what are you wanting to do? | 06:46 |
| nisshh | darkrose, kaushal wants to know how to use grep on the end of lspci to find the detailed info about his wireless hardware | 06:47 |
| nisshh | but he isnt getting the juicy details, just his card manufacturer | 06:47 |
| blahdeblah | nisshh: There is a way to limit lspci output to just certain types of device - check man page | 06:54 |
| darkrose | lspci -vvvv | awk '/net/ {f=1}f' | tac | awk '/^$/ {f=1}f' | awk '/^[0-9]/ {f=1}f' | tac | 06:56 |
| * darkrose gives blahdeblah a preemptive panadol | 06:57 | |
| nisshh | blahdeblah, yeah i know, i cant remember how though :) | 06:59 |
| nisshh | darkrose, you want kaushal to use awk? damn! | 06:59 |
| blahdeblah | darkrose: bwahahaha - not only old-school, but ugly as well! | 07:01 |
| darkrose | :D | 07:01 |
| nisshh | blahdeblah, it may be old school but awk is very powerful :) | 07:02 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: bought an external drive today, should be setting it up tonight to copy across the repository. Should be able to set it up on that laptop to be a portable repository for your meeting ideas. | 07:02 |
| blahdeblah | nisshh: You have no idea how ironic that sounds - i've been using awk since you were in nappies. | 07:03 |
| blahdeblah | nisshh, kaushal: http://ubuntu-au.pastebin.com/V9u9x2Y2 | 07:03 |
| blahdeblah | nisshh, kaushal: Pastebin from my laptop - just find the id, then use -s to select only that | 07:03 |
| nisshh | blahdeblah, meh, when i was in nappies i was hacking on the linux kernel :) | 07:03 |
| blahdeblah | nisshh: I don't believe you. :-) | 07:03 |
| nisshh | blahdeblah, bah! :) | 07:04 |
| darkrose | s/hack/poop/ | 07:04 |
| * blahdeblah goes back to his firewall rule editing session | 07:04 | |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: cool - sounds good. | 07:05 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: just gotta work out how to set it up so I can share it across a lan and just have people put in the right lines to their sources.list and have it work. | 07:08 |
| * darkrose goes back to coding skynet | 07:14 | |
| * blahdeblah makes a note to kill darkrose as soon as he gets over the flu | 07:19 | |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: HTTP is best - just install apache and put in a directory section in the config and you're done. | 07:20 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: sounds easy enough for even me to do. | 07:24 |
| === Fudgey_ is now known as Fudge | ||
| head_victim | What switches do you use to rsync the mirror? I was using -vtlr, is that sufficient to get what is needed done? | 07:27 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: That looks good to me - once it's running reliably, i would probably drop the -v | 08:27 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: cool, will be my first foray into apache so at least I'll be learning stuff as well | 11:46 |
