| inetpro | good evening | 16:19 |
| panfriedsidh | evening | 16:20 |
| * inetpro just realised that CellC is a big NOGO at home | 16:21 | |
| inetpro | now testing Vodacom again | 16:21 |
| inetpro | sadly the best option is still Telkom wireless | 16:22 |
| superfly | hi inetpro | 16:23 |
| panfriedsidh | i havent been paying attention to the 3g offfers much lately. i useusing voda3g on the road | 16:24 |
| inetpro | superfly: hi | 16:24 |
| panfriedsidh | >use | 16:24 |
| panfriedsidh | dont even know what Telkom wireless is :| ..and i think i can live with that for the moment | 16:26 |
| inetpro | well if I could get wired ADSL I would definitely be on it | 16:27 |
| panfriedsidh | sure | 16:28 |
| panfriedsidh | i've heard those booster antennae work for 3g | 16:29 |
| inetpro | I'm kinda happy with Telkom wireless but was hoping that I could get away with something cheaper | 16:32 |

| Kilos | commands/code | 18:37 |
| Kilos | and i am not sure if it might fix this modem prob or change things so other modems dont work here anymore | 18:42 |
| inetpro | Kilos: pong | 19:06 |
| inetpro | what's with gedit? | 19:06 |
| Kilos | lo boet | 19:07 |
| Kilos | http://paste.ubuntu.com/597947/ | 19:07 |
| Kilos | im not sure what all to put in and what to leave out inetpro | 19:08 |
| Kilos | i have wvdial and modeswtch installed | 19:08 |
| Kilos | its just from where they tell you to do this and further | 19:09 |
| Kilos | sudo gedit /etc/usb-modeswitch-x225s.conf | 19:09 |
| Kilos | i dunno if i must have the word code in too | 19:10 |
| Kilos | and after that there are a few more to do but i am not sure what to not put in | 19:11 |
| superfly | Kilos: did you install modeswitch from the site, or from the Ubuntu repositories? and where did you get those instructions? | 19:12 |
| Kilos | sec superfly it comes from ubuntu | 19:12 |
| superfly | good | 19:12 |
| nlsthzn | cheers all... time for zzzzz's | 19:14 |
| Kilos | im just trying to find the link | 19:14 |
| Kilos | sleep tight nlsthzn | 19:14 |
| Kilos | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1576997 | 19:15 |
| Kilos | methinks it was that one | 19:15 |
| Kilos | and modeswitch etc i installed with sudo aptitude | 19:17 |
| superfly | Kilos: ah, yes, that looks like a good tutorial | 19:17 |
| superfly | Kilos: what sim card are you hoping to use in it? | 19:18 |
| Kilos | vodacom | 19:18 |
| superfly | ok | 19:18 |
| Kilos | then my cell phone can be a cellphone not a modem | 19:18 |
| superfly | in the wvdial script, where it says: Init3 = at+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet.wind" | 19:18 |
| superfly | change that to: Init3 = at+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet" | 19:19 |
| superfly | (i.e. remove the ".wind" in the last quoted part | 19:19 |
| Kilos | ok | 19:19 |
| Kilos | the big thing is superfly i am not sure where to stop and what to leave out from all of that | 19:21 |
| superfly | Kilos: do *exactly* as the instructions say | 19:21 |
| Kilos | like where it says unfortunately the network manager isnt happy or something | 19:21 |
| superfly | Kilos: yes, the instructions get you to use wvdial instead | 19:23 |
| Kilos | eish the remote thing killed me | 19:27 |
| Kilos | ok superfly but the next line i must leave out hey? | 19:27 |
| Kilos | i bang i mess up then its ten times the work to repair again | 19:28 |
| superfly | Kilos: as long as you follow all of the instructions, and follow them exactly, you should be fine | 19:29 |
| Kilos | ok heres hoping | 19:30 |
| Kilos | ty superfly | 19:30 |
| Kilos | i can always go edit it agin hey? | 19:30 |
| superfly | yes | 19:30 |
| Kilos | it wont crash my using fone as modem? | 19:30 |
| superfly | no | 19:31 |
| Kilos | oh sorry superfly must i leave the word code: out | 19:32 |
| Kilos | or must that also be in there | 19:32 |
| superfly | oh yes, leave that out | 19:32 |
| Kilos | whew ty | 19:33 |
| superfly | Maaz: Kilos++ [ nie so dom soos hy dink hy is nie ] | 19:33 |
| Kilos | eish | 19:33 |
| Kilos | superfly, skuus man. where they use wind for password and username can i take wind out and leave blank there or do i need the vodacom info | 19:44 |
| superfly | Kilos: blank | 19:44 |
| superfly | Vodacom doesn't use a username and password | 19:45 |
| Kilos | yay | 19:45 |
| superfly | they track you via your cellphone number | 19:45 |
| Kilos | ok and willlsusb tell me what port the modem is usint or is that irreleant of where i plug it in? | 19:46 |
| superfly | Kilos: it's pretty irrelevant | 19:47 |
| Kilos | because i use one of those 4 in one usb hubs | 19:47 |
| superfly | oh, no, don't worry about that | 19:47 |
| Kilos | so must i remove the usb4 | 19:47 |
| superfly | whatever is in the tutorial, use that | 19:47 |
| Kilos | Modem = /dev/ttyUSB4 | 19:48 |
| Kilos | just like that? | 19:48 |
| superfly | oh, yeah, use that | 19:48 |
| Kilos | ok ty | 19:48 |
| superfly | we can always find out which port it is using, and come back and change that later | 19:49 |
| Kilos | ok looks like i am at the reboot stage. hopefully i see you from the modem next | 19:50 |
| Kilos | aw i cant reboot busy copying dvds to external | 19:51 |
| Kilos | another hour | 19:51 |
| Kilos | grrr | 19:51 |

| kodez | good evening | 20:29 |
| kodez1 | to all those who love www.demonoid.me. please note that user account registration is open | 20:40 |
| Kilos | you still up superfly | 21:57 |
| superfly | Kilos: yes | 21:58 |
| Kilos | when i do lsusb now that id is still as it was | 21:58 |
| superfly | Kilos: you did everything 100% according to that tutorial? | 21:58 |
| Kilos | didnt change it to the new id | 21:58 |
| Kilos | yip i think so | 21:58 |
| Kilos | but if i go cd /etc/ and then ls | 21:59 |
| Kilos | i get the old modeswitch.conf still there | 21:59 |
| Kilos | the old one is usb_modeswitch.conf | 22:01 |
| Kilos | and there is a usb_modeswitch.d | 22:02 |
| Kilos | and then the new one usb-modeswitch-x225s.conf | 22:02 |
| Kilos | i copied and pasted the info from the tutorial and removed the wind bits in 3 places | 22:04 |
| superfly | Kilos: you did this too? sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-x225s.rules | 22:04 |
| Kilos | yip. let me go check | 22:05 |
| Kilos | yessir this is in there | 22:06 |
| Kilos | SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1bbb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="f000", RUN+="/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb-modeswitch-x225s.conf" | 22:06 |
| Kilos | SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1bbb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0017", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1bbb product=0x0017" | 22:06 |
| superfly | hrm | 22:08 |
| superfly | Kilos: I'm not sure oom, I don't know much more than that - everything looks right to me | 22:09 |
| Kilos | and i still not sure which port it goes in because i need to remove the sim card to use fone every time | 22:10 |
| Kilos | i see the modem is an alcatel i will see if there is any info on their site | 22:11 |
| superfly | Kilos: in a terminal, type in "tail -f /var/log/syslog", press enter a few times to make some blank lines, and then plug the modem in. when the output dies down again, copy and pastebin it so that I can see it | 22:11 |
| Kilos | ty very much for your help | 22:11 |
| Kilos | ok | 22:11 |
| Kilos | i dont want to keep you up superfly | 22:12 |
| Kilos | will take a while | 22:12 |
| superfly | I'm busy with a few other things | 22:12 |
| Kilos | ok ty i will try hurry | 22:12 |

| Kilos | http://paste.ubuntu.com/598031/ | 22:21 |
| Kilos | maybe its still looking for STC the service provider, but i dunno where to see that | 22:26 |
| superfly | Kilos: you don't have your sim card in the modem | 22:28 |
| Kilos | i did but i will try again | 22:30 |
| superfly | Maaz: tell Kilos Oh, it's still doing that "Network PIN required" thing - I don't think you'll get past that... I have to go to bed now, good night | 22:38 |
| Maaz | superfly: Got it, I'll tell Kilos on freenode | 22:38 |
