[17:55] <Iowan> Looks like it
[17:55] <Paddy_NI> gah
[17:56] <Paddy_NI> just when find something promising :P
[17:56] <Iowan> It'll still be there... I hope...
[17:56] <Paddy_NI> :)
[17:56] <Paddy_NI> Going crazy here trying to turn my netbook into a wireless access point that shares the internet from the mobile broadband dongle
[17:57] <Paddy_NI> Lots of fun ;(
[17:57] <Paddy_NI> I hate broadcom
[17:57] <Paddy_NI> and anyone else with poor drivers
[17:58] <Paddy_NI> </rant?
[17:58] <Paddy_NI> err
[17:58] <Paddy_NI> hmm, well perhaps that's appropriate
[17:59] <FuturePilot> some accidentally the forums
[17:59] <FuturePilot> *someone
[18:00] <FuturePilot> I haven't had any issues with the bcm-wl driver. works perfectly.
[18:02] <Paddy_NI> FuturePilot: yeah.. try setting master mode
[18:02] <Paddy_NI> ;)
[18:03] <Paddy_NI> sudo iwconfig INTERFACE mode master
[18:03] <Paddy_NI> it needs to be down first though
[18:04] <Paddy_NI> apparently the reverse engineered driver does this.. although I have no idea where this driver is or what it is called
[18:05] <Paddy_NI> gotta love how vague linux people are when creating guides.. ultimately the ubuntu wiki will become a link to google
[18:05] <Paddy_NI> :)
[18:06] <FuturePilot> lol
[18:14] <Kenbo11> Is Ubuntuforums.org down for some reason?
[18:15] <Iowan> Seems to be down...
[18:15] <Kenbo11> kinda sux
[18:15] <Kenbo11> Just making sure it wasn't my end
[18:21] <Kenbo11> Any one here good with USB drive mounting problems
[18:23] <Paddy_NI> Kenbo11: Can you be more specific?
[18:23] <Paddy_NI> I am sure everyone has their fair share of usb mounting problems
[18:24] <Kenbo11> My USB flash drives and my mp3 player stopped automounting last week. They show up under lsusb but not fdisk -l
[18:24] <Paddy_NI> Had you installed anything related to disk management during that time?
[18:25] <Kenbo11> not that I know of. (but I really didn't pay much attention to anything that came through update manager)
[18:26] <Paddy_NI> oh that would not be updates that are to blame
[18:26] <Kenbo11> I didn't think so
[18:26] <Paddy_NI> I did have this issue once before.. but if I recall correctly I caused it
[18:27] <Kenbo11> It's entirely possible that I did too :)
[18:27] <Paddy_NI> gah.. damn forums are down :)
[18:28] <Paddy_NI> found a thread marked solved and title "usb stopped automounting"
[18:28] <Kenbo11> I know, I posted the question there last night. and was checking it today
[18:28] <Kenbo11> (or was going to check it today)
[18:28] <Paddy_NI> they really should have a backup
[18:28] <Kenbo11> yup
[18:28] <Paddy_NI> I thought rackspace was providing some sort of gratis hosting for canonical
[18:29] <Kenbo11> Is there a history in Synaptic so I can see when I installed stuff That you know of?
[18:30] <Paddy_NI> Kenbo11: I think its just a simple config file that is to blame
[18:30] <Paddy_NI> I don't believe synaptic will be helpful in this instance
[18:30] <Kenbo11> Probably. but which one?
[18:30] <Paddy_NI> forums down cannot remember
[18:31] <Kenbo11> I just wanted to see if I did install something that I'm not remembering
[18:31] <Kenbo11> OO found the history
[18:31] <Paddy_NI> hmm
[18:31] <Paddy_NI> cool
[18:31] <Kenbo11> last thing was Mahjong on 4/4 Don't think that could do anything
[18:32] <Paddy_NI> :)
[18:32] <Paddy_NI> extremely unlikely
[18:32] <Kenbo11> lol
[18:33] <Kenbo11> wierd thing is, it's just the drives. USB printer and wifi still work
[18:33] <Paddy_NI> different kettle of fish
[18:33] <Paddy_NI> it's not a usb problem
[18:34] <Paddy_NI> its a mass storage device prob
[18:34] <Kenbo11> yup
[18:34] <Paddy_NI> Have you tried throwing raw minced beef at it?
[18:35] <Kenbo11> will a chopped up hotdog do?
[18:35] <Paddy_NI> hmm.. I don't think so.. but there is no harm in trying
[18:35] <Kenbo11> rofl
[18:36] <Paddy_NI> as you can tell I will never work for a call centre
[18:37] <Kenbo11> I would think I could find something for this in google but No luck yet
[18:37] <Paddy_NI> Mostly links to ubuntuforums
[18:38] <Paddy_NI> where I know it is a simple solution
[18:38] <Paddy_NI> very
[18:38] <Paddy_NI> frustrating I don't write down anything
[18:38] <Kenbo11> I'm the same way.
[18:41] <Kenbo11> NetworkManager[1326]: <info> Unmanaged Device found; state CONNECTED forced. (see http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191889)
