| * starsprout taps cyberanger | 00:51 | |
| starsprout | you know how to change kernel boot options in crunchbang? | 00:51 |
| wrst | hello starsprout | 00:51 |
| starsprout | hi wrst | 00:54 |
| starsprout | tryin to get this old aetheros wifi pci card working at my local coffeeshop's new crunchbang machine :-) | 00:54 |
| wrst | cool starsprout any luck? | 00:55 |
| starsprout | compat_wireless seems to be the agreed upon solution | 00:55 |
| cyberanger | hey starsprout | 00:55 |
| starsprout | however, make says "kernel was compiled with CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=n" so it won't build it | 00:56 |
| starsprout | erm, "make" it | 00:56 |
| starsprout | hiya cr | 00:56 |
| * wrst rejoices | 00:58 | |
| wrst | natty started up | 00:58 |
| wrst | yeah starsprout that certainly sounds like a cyberanger issue :) | 00:58 |
| * wrst begins to pull in 200MB of updates it will probably never start again | 01:00 | |
| starsprout | yeah, prolly just be easier to buy a usb wireless adapter than try to get this old pci aetheros to run | 01:00 |
| wrst | aetheros i have dealt just a little with them but seemed to be a pain | 01:01 |
| wrst | crunchbang its based straight up on debian now right? | 01:02 |
| starsprout | yep | 01:02 |
| wrst | ok i remember having to blacklist something on ubuntu to get an aetheros of some sort to work but that's been forever ago | 01:03 |
| starsprout | what does CONFIG_ITEM=m mean? what's the m? I see y, n and m | 01:03 |
| starsprout | yeah I read about that - blacklist the ath5k - how do I do that? | 01:03 |
| starsprout | didn't try that yet - I also read compat-wireless was a good way to go, but now I'm trying to rebuild the kernel with wireless_ext=y | 01:04 |
| wrst | in ubuntu it was a simple edit of a config file not sure about debian | 01:04 |
| wrst | oh goodness rebuilding a kernel seems excessive | 01:05 |
| cyberanger | starsprout: yikes | 01:07 |
| starsprout | lol | 01:07 |
| starsprout | i dunno | 01:07 |
| starsprout | nothing to lose here, just groping my way through.... :-) | 01:07 |
| starsprout | I used to not know a lot about unix that I do know now, so I'm ok asking stupid questions to learn my ways | 01:08 |
| wrst | starsprout: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros | 01:08 |
| wrst | that's the solution for ubuntu | 01:08 |
| wrst | and i know that worked for me | 01:08 |
| starsprout | ok I blacklisted them and am rebooting now (seems better than editing the kernel config, heheh) | 01:14 |
| starsprout | heck yeah wrst!!! it worked - wireless networks are available :-D | 01:15 |
| starsprout | All hail, Linux in Tennessee!!! | 01:16 |
| wrst | starsprout: the easy way is good sometimes ;) | 01:16 |
| starsprout | or something like that | 01:16 |
| starsprout | thanks a lot y'all... | 01:16 |
| cyberanger | wrst: the command line is easy | 01:17 |
| wrst | no prob starsprout | 01:18 |
| wrst | cyberanger: doing whatever tothe kernel isn't!!!!! | 01:18 |
| starsprout | crunchbang actually looks pretty cool now that I'm using it a bit | 01:20 |
| starsprout | thanks as always y'all. buh-bye! | 01:21 |
| chibihogoshino | i like how synaptic tries to fix a deb package but dosnt really do anything | 01:21 |
| cyberanger | wrst: ah, come on, it can be easy | 01:22 |
| wrst | well that broke wireless and some how my 10.10 install disappeared from grub | 01:44 |
| wrst | chibihogoshino: i guess atleast it tries? | 01:44 |
| wrst | cyberanger: you will not be happy with me | 02:33 |
| cyberanger | wrst: why's that? | 02:59 |
| cyberanger | wrst: what broke your wireless and caused 10.10 to be cleared out of grub? | 03:00 |
| wrst | natty did all of that, and I'm back to quassel again cyberanger | 03:07 |
| cyberanger | shame on natty | 03:15 |
| wrst | yeah cyberanger it has grub 1.99 so its even worse than before i suppose? | 03:15 |
| cyberanger | as for quassel, that's fine, your smartphone just will have to be neglected I suppose | 03:16 |
| wrst | yes cyberanger i think it will, as much as i hate to, I may change my mind but just so many things are irritating to me about using irssi | 03:17 |
| cyberanger | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1631755 | 03:17 |
| cyberanger | might that describe your issue ^ | 03:17 |
| cyberanger | (with grub, not wireless) | 03:18 |
| wrst | yeah it sees the older natty kernel but the 10.10 kernel just flew out the window it think i will reinstall with 10.10 live cd grub | 03:18 |
| wrst | and the wireless, well actually grub is just all part of running alpha grade software :) | 03:19 |
| wrst | i just have a somewhat overly strong hatred for grub2 :) | 03:19 |
| cyberanger | oh, come on, you know you love grub 2 ;-) | 03:32 |
| wrst | well when they get it working i will love it actually, because the concept is great the execution... well... you know how i feel about that :) | 03:34 |
| cyberanger | oh, come on, you know you love grub 2 ;-) | 03:36 |
| cyberanger | but yeah, I do know that it's had some hiccups | 03:37 |
| cyberanger | and ubuntu messing with it doesn't help | 03:37 |
| wrst | but when they get it all going it really should be great | 03:51 |
| mhall119 | excid3|mbp: are fluttrly #hash lists not per-user? | 18:10 |
| mhall119 | for that matter, are all fluttrly lists public? | 18:10 |
| excid3|mbp | they're all public right now | 18:12 |
| excid3|mbp | hashes just link two lists | 18:13 |
| excid3|mbp | I'm adding accounts and private lists this weekend though! | 18:13 |
| mhall119 | cool | 18:20 |
| mhall119 | I just git-cloned fluttrly and fluttr-desktop | 18:20 |
| excid3|mbp | ah sweet | 18:22 |
| excid3|mbp | I haven't done as much on is as I wanted because I realized I should focus on Keryx 1.0 | 18:22 |
| excid3|mbp | but now that's finished enough, I'm going to do some more on fluttrly | 18:22 |
| excid3|mbp | mhall119: iirc we removed CSRF protection so the fluttrly-desktop won't work | 18:26 |
| excid3|mbp | but it can post to the site without having to grab the cookies and CSRF token | 18:26 |
| excid3|mbp | It's a bad API design, but I didn't know how to do it better at the time. We also want to figure out a way to order the items | 18:26 |
| mhall119 | I'd have to learn Ruby to help with the server | 20:26 |
| mhall119 | but maybe I'll hack on fluttr-desktop | 20:26 |
| mhall119 | I'm also thinking of making a fluttrly backend to Tasque | 20:26 |
| mhall119 | course, that'll all depend on changes to the API | 20:27 |
| mhall119 | could I recommend a simple REST/JSON | 20:27 |
| mhall119 | though if you feel like re-writing fluttrly in Django, let me know ;) | 20:42 |
| netritious | howdy locotn | 21:58 |
| cyberanger | hey netritious | 23:08 |
| cyberanger | mhall119: are you around? | 23:09 |
| cyberanger | netritious: how's your day | 23:12 |
| mhall119 | cyberanger: I am | 23:53 |
| cyberanger | mhall119: a member in chattanooga's lug metioned qimo recently | 23:54 |
| mhall119 | cool, someone in nashville was blogging about it too | 23:54 |
| * mhall119 was in both cities this week | 23:55 | |
| mhall119 | but totally unrelated | 23:55 |
| cyberanger | you were in chattanooga this week? | 23:55 |
| mhall119 | yeah | 23:55 |
| mhall119 | visiting friends of my wife | 23:55 |
| cyberanger | ah | 23:56 |
| mhall119 | but we spent most of our time driving all over the state | 23:56 |
| cyberanger | I'm not too far north, but you weren't heading north to knoxville I bet | 23:56 |
| cyberanger | he did metion one thing | 23:56 |
| mhall119 | the original intent of the trip was to take the kids up to see snow | 23:56 |
| cyberanger | "The first thing you do is setup a parent login, which is just a normal ubunt= u "admin" login (sudo access). I wish the installer highlighted that point m= ore clearly as I ended up renaming the login to be me (after install) rather= than my son as I had assumed. " | 23:56 |
| mhall119 | so of course we picked the one week where temps where in the 70's | 23:56 |
| cyberanger | (poor c&p, whoops) | 23:57 |
| cyberanger | that was is only gripe, and that was easy to fix, he loves it | 23:57 |
| mhall119 | cyberanger: the installer doesn't mention that because it doesn't apply anymore | 23:57 |
| cyberanger | and yeah, good luck on timing | 23:57 |
| mhall119 | as of 2.0, we don't have "parent" or "child" accounts | 23:58 |
| cyberanger | hrm, outdated version I guess then, he cited version 2 though | 23:58 |
| mhall119 | you can choose whether to use the Qimo session on any account | 23:58 |
| mhall119 | he could have left the original account for his son | 23:58 |
| mhall119 | but it would have sudo access | 23:59 |
| mhall119 | I'm looking at adding the ability to create multiple accounts during the installer, but it seems like it's going to be more work than maybe it's worth | 23:59 |
| cyberanger | ah, that was his issue | 23:59 |
