[19:07] lo boet [19:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/597947/ [19:08] im not sure what all to put in and what to leave out inetpro [19:08] i have wvdial and modeswtch installed [19:09] its just from where they tell you to do this and further [19:09] sudo gedit /etc/usb-modeswitch-x225s.conf [19:10] i dunno if i must have the word code in too [19:11] and after that there are a few more to do but i am not sure what to not put in [19:12] Kilos: did you install modeswitch from the site, or from the Ubuntu repositories? and where did you get those instructions? [19:12] sec superfly it comes from ubuntu [19:12] good [19:14] cheers all... time for zzzzz's [19:14] im just trying to find the link [19:14] sleep tight nlsthzn [19:15] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1576997 [19:15] methinks it was that one [19:17] and modeswitch etc i installed with sudo aptitude [19:17] Kilos: ah, yes, that looks like a good tutorial [19:18] Kilos: what sim card are you hoping to use in it? [19:18] vodacom [19:18] ok [19:18] then my cell phone can be a cellphone not a modem [19:18] in the wvdial script, where it says: Init3 = at+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet.wind" [19:19] change that to: Init3 = at+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet" [19:19] (i.e. remove the ".wind" in the last quoted part [19:19] ok [19:21] the big thing is superfly i am not sure where to stop and what to leave out from all of that [19:21] Kilos: do *exactly* as the instructions say [19:21] like where it says unfortunately the network manager isnt happy or something [19:23] Kilos: yes, the instructions get you to use wvdial instead [19:27] eish the remote thing killed me [19:27] ok superfly but the next line i must leave out hey? [19:28] i bang i mess up then its ten times the work to repair again [19:29] Kilos: as long as you follow all of the instructions, and follow them exactly, you should be fine [19:30] ok heres hoping [19:30] ty superfly [19:30] i can always go edit it agin hey? [19:30] yes [19:30] it wont crash my using fone as modem? [19:31] no [19:32] oh sorry superfly must i leave the word code: out [19:32] or must that also be in there [19:32] oh yes, leave that out [19:33] whew ty [19:33] Maaz: Kilos++ [ nie so dom soos hy dink hy is nie ] [19:33] eish [19:44] 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] Kilos: blank [19:45] Vodacom doesn't use a username and password [19:45] yay [19:45] they track you via your cellphone number [19:46] ok and willlsusb tell me what port the modem is usint or is that irreleant of where i plug it in? [19:47] Kilos: it's pretty irrelevant [19:47] because i use one of those 4 in one usb hubs [19:47] oh, no, don't worry about that [19:47] so must i remove the usb4 [19:47] whatever is in the tutorial, use that [19:48] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB4 [19:48] just like that? [19:48] oh, yeah, use that [19:48] ok ty [19:49] we can always find out which port it is using, and come back and change that later [19:50] ok looks like i am at the reboot stage. hopefully i see you from the modem next [19:51] aw i cant reboot busy copying dvds to external [19:51] another hour [19:51] grrr [19:51] Maaz, coffee on [19:51] * Maaz puts the kettle on [19:55] Coffee's ready for Kilos! [19:56] Maaz, thank you very much my bot buddy [19:56] sure thing, Kilos [20:16] found a way to watch dvds on my pc . used boet's i5 lappy to copy to his external then copied from his external to here [20:16] his stupid win7 couldnt even see my external or i coulda saved many hours of copying [20:29] good evening [20:40] to all those who love www.demonoid.me. please note that user account registration is open [21:57] you still up superfly [21:58] Kilos: yes [21:58] when i do lsusb now that id is still as it was [21:58] Kilos: you did everything 100% according to that tutorial? [21:58] didnt change it to the new id [21:58] yip i think so [21:59] but if i go cd /etc/ and then ls [21:59] i get the old modeswitch.conf still there [22:01] the old one is usb_modeswitch.conf [22:02] and there is a usb_modeswitch.d [22:02] and then the new one usb-modeswitch-x225s.conf [22:04] i copied and pasted the info from the tutorial and removed the wind bits in 3 places [22:04] Kilos: you did this too? sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-x225s.rules [22:05] yip. let me go check [22:06] yessir this is in there [22:06] SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1bbb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="f000", RUN+="/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb-modeswitch-x225s.conf" [22:06] SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1bbb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0017", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1bbb product=0x0017" [22:08] hrm [22:09] Kilos: I'm not sure oom, I don't know much more than that - everything looks right to me [22:10] and i still not sure which port it goes in because i need to remove the sim card to use fone every time [22:11] i see the modem is an alcatel i will see if there is any info on their site [22:11] 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] ty very much for your help [22:11] ok [22:12] i dont want to keep you up superfly [22:12] will take a while [22:12] I'm busy with a few other things [22:12] ok ty i will try hurry [22:21] Maaz, hi [22:21] Howzit Kilos [22:21] here it is superfly [22:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/598031/ [22:26] maybe its still looking for STC the service provider, but i dunno where to see that [22:28] Kilos: you don't have your sim card in the modem [22:30] i did but i will try again [22:38] Maaz: tell Kilos Oh, it's still doing that "Network PIN required" thing - I don't think you'll get past that...
