[06:19] hi [06:19] kaushal, whats up? [06:21] is there a irc channel for debugging wireless issues on Ubuntu ? [06:22] I am faced with http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/533367/ [06:25] nisshh: hi [06:25] hmmm [06:26] kaushal, where is that output from? a logfile? [06:28] nisshh: Its from a daemon log [06:29] kaushal, so is your wireless choppy? has dropouts? doesnt work at all? or what? [06:30] wireless choppy ? [06:33] kaushal, like is it slow sometimes [06:33] yes [06:34] ah ok [06:34] kaushal, how often does that message appear in your logs? [06:34] also is there a way to find lspci -vvv | grep "Network" [06:34] I mean full output for the wireless card [06:34] when i run that command i see only a line [06:35] which is? [06:35] 0c:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [06:35] and not details [06:35] kaushal: I don't know about the avahi stuff, but that WPA supplicant stuff is just harmless noise, in my experience. [06:35] well, thats because your being too specific with grep [06:35] oh ok [06:35] blahdeblah, +1 [06:35] nisshh: so what would be the option for grep ? [06:35] to print the rest of the lines [06:35] is it -C 5 ? [06:35] kaushal, try | grep wireless [06:36] kaushal: Do you have a Windows laptop around? [06:36] ok [06:36] with no double quotes [06:36] * blahdeblah hangs his head in shame for having to ask the question [06:36] nisshh: nope [06:36] blahdeblah, bad bad boy! :) [06:36] it doesnot result anything [06:36] kaushal, what info are you trying to find anyway? your IP address or something? [06:37] nope [06:37] * blahdeblah slaps himself on the wrist, but consoles himself with his excellent taste in music presently playing. [06:38] nisshh: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/533369/ [06:38] so i am interested to get that output using lscpi [06:38] kaushal: In my experience, most problems with poor wifi performance are caused by interference. [06:38] I know i can use lscpi -vvv | less [06:38] 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] but i need to go through each and every hardware [06:39] kaushal, why? [06:39] oh wait, i see [06:39] blahdeblah: sure [06:39] blahdeblah: what does it do ? [06:39] kaushal, also, you are using the ath5k driver, which has known issues, so there is an ath9k driver too [06:39] It tells you what wireless networks are in range, and how strong they are, etc. [06:39] oh ok [06:39] nisshh: sure [06:40] 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] nisshh: i was interested in that command [06:40] blahdeblah, thats what the network indicator does on Ubuntu :) [06:40] kaushal, ah ok [06:40] nisshh: If you haven't used it, don't knock it - it's heaps better than anything i've found on Linux [06:40] blahdeblah, fair enough i guess :) [06:40] nisshh: basically how do i get that output [06:41] kaushal: There were even some idiots in my area using channel 3 & 9, thereby trashing two channels at once! [06:41] without going through each and every hardware [06:41] nisshh: is it lspci -vvv | grep -C 10 "Network" [06:42] kaushal, try grep Wireless or grep Network [06:43] kaushal, also when using | less, you can use page up/down to scroll as well i think [06:43] That's the way i would do it: lspci -vvv|less, then search for Network [06:45] yeah [06:45] blahdeblah, i bet darkrose would know how to do it more specifically :) [06:45] so would man lspci, no doubt [06:46] o.o [06:46] haha [06:46] the beast awakens :) [06:46] what are you wanting to do? [06:47] 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] but he isnt getting the juicy details, just his card manufacturer [06:54] nisshh: There is a way to limit lspci output to just certain types of device - check man page [06:56] lspci -vvvv | awk '/net/ {f=1}f' | tac | awk '/^$/ {f=1}f' | awk '/^[0-9]/ {f=1}f' | tac [06:57] * darkrose gives blahdeblah a preemptive panadol [06:59] blahdeblah, yeah i know, i cant remember how though :) [06:59] darkrose, you want kaushal to use awk? damn! [07:01] darkrose: bwahahaha - not only old-school, but ugly as well! [07:01] :D [07:02] blahdeblah, it may be old school but awk is very powerful :) [07:02] 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. [07:03] nisshh: You have no idea how ironic that sounds - i've been using awk since you were in nappies. [07:03] nisshh, kaushal: http://ubuntu-au.pastebin.com/V9u9x2Y2 [07:03] nisshh, kaushal: Pastebin from my laptop - just find the id, then use -s to select only that [07:03] blahdeblah, meh, when i was in nappies i was hacking on the linux kernel :) [07:03] nisshh: I don't believe you. :-) [07:04] blahdeblah, bah! :) [07:04] s/hack/poop/ [07:04] * blahdeblah goes back to his firewall rule editing session [07:05] head_victim: cool - sounds good. [07:08] 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. [07:14] * darkrose goes back to coding skynet [07:19] * blahdeblah makes a note to kill darkrose as soon as he gets over the flu [07:20] head_victim: HTTP is best - just install apache and put in a directory section in the config and you're done. [07:24] blahdeblah: sounds easy enough for even me to do. === Fudgey_ is now known as Fudge [07:27] What switches do you use to rsync the mirror? I was using -vtlr, is that sufficient to get what is needed done? [08:27] head_victim: That looks good to me - once it's running reliably, i would probably drop the -v [11:46] blahdeblah: cool, will be my first foray into apache so at least I'll be learning stuff as well [15:38] hi,all [15:39] quit === JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett === JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett
