Kilos | how much ram you got? | 11:10 |
Kilos | this is only a 1.7g cpu and 640m ram | 11:11 |
Kilos | but maverick is quicker than 10.04 was | 11:11 |

magespawn | hah | 11:47 |
nuvolari | puhleeze! | 11:47 |
nuvolari | that's an insult | 11:47 |
magespawn | you could get shot for that one | 11:47 |
nuvolari | magespawn: hand me my spear | 11:47 |
nuvolari | :P | 11:47 |
iancoetzee | oh crap | 11:48 |
Kilos | lol | 11:48 |
nuvolari | If it's not running linux, it's not worthy of mentioning | 11:48 |
nuvolari | :> I luv my Hero | 11:48 |
nuvolari | Android | 11:49 |
magespawn | well i am using an E63 not quite linux | 11:49 |
hihanhoesj | Ahhah | 11:49 |
magespawn | my other is a n900 | 11:49 |
hihanhoesj | now that I have my 3G back up, I can continue here :) | 11:49 |
magespawn | just had a look at the bb 9700 on gsmarena.com looks like a decent phone. | 11:50 |
nuvolari | My phone is a bit outdated now, but still rocking my world :> One can't say that about most other phones after a year | 11:50 |
hihanhoesj | and I rest my case :) | 11:51 |
nuvolari | *meaning non-android :P | 11:51 |
nuvolari | hihanhoesj: were you carrying it all the time? | 11:51 |
hihanhoesj | carrying what | 11:51 |
hihanhoesj | ? | 11:51 |
nuvolari | your case | 11:51 |
hihanhoesj | ah well now that you put it that way | 11:52 |
hihanhoesj | it was getting quite heavy | 11:52 |
hihanhoesj | with all the BB insults flying my way :) | 11:52 |
Kilos | lol | 11:53 |
nuvolari | sorry, you mentioned it at your own risk | 11:53 |
nuvolari | :P | 11:53 |
nuvolari | you betrayed the brotherhood | 11:53 |
nuvolari | *and couple of sisters | 11:54 |
hihanhoesj | hmm I was asked a question, so I answered it in all honesty | 11:54 |
hihanhoesj | would you rather I *gulp* lie? | 11:54 |
Kilos | weather strange. we got a fig tree that starts budding when summer is close but this year it already has figs on | 11:54 |
hihanhoesj | nuvolari: what is wrong with the phone, you know it runs a linux based os, dont you? | 11:55 |
Kilos | hi panfriedsidh | 11:55 |
froztbyte | hihanhoesj: eh, a blackberry? | 11:56 |
panfriedsidh | greetings | 11:56 |
hihanhoesj | froztbyte: I pleed the fith | 11:57 |
froztbyte | no | 11:57 |
froztbyte | 11:01:08 < hihanhoesj> nuvolari: what is wrong with the phone, you know it runs a linux based os, dont you? | 11:57 |
froztbyte | what phone did you mean with that? | 11:57 |
hihanhoesj | the one you mentioned | 11:57 |
froztbyte | yes, okay | 11:58 |
froztbyte | and no, it doesn't | 11:58 |
froztbyte | it's their own thing | 11:58 |
hihanhoesj | ok I concede your point, however I did see it displaying a folder structure on the phone once | 11:59 |
hihanhoesj | I was in my home dir and it was at the path /home/user/ | 12:00 |
froztbyte | so you assumed it was linux? *chuckle* | 12:00 |
nuvolari | lol | 12:00 |
hihanhoesj | I concede thats my only proof... | 12:00 |
froztbyte | there's a lot of systems which use that style of filesystem layout | 12:00 |
froztbyte | hell, linux inherited it from unix | 12:00 |
hihanhoesj | and its entirely circumstantial | 12:01 |
hihanhoesj | thats whay I am not pushing my point | 12:01 |
froztbyte | hehe | 12:01 |
froztbyte | anyway, RimOS or whatever it's called is entirely their own thing | 12:01 |
nuvolari | ok, I think we gave you enough grief hihanhoesj :P sorry for that | 12:01 |
nuvolari | I'll really stop now | 12:01 |
Kilos | anything that works is better than nothing at all | 12:01 |
hihanhoesj | nuvolari: you will realise soon enough, that I am very thick skinned | 12:02 |
nuvolari | Kilos: so you say windoze is nothing? :D | 12:02 |
hihanhoesj | Kilos: agreed | 12:02 |
Kilos | what windoze | 12:03 |
Kilos | whats | 12:03 |
Kilos | that gates thing? | 12:03 |
nuvolari | Kilos: ye, that thing | 12:03 |
froztbyte | hihanhoesj: regarding your initial question, that's probably dependent on what modem you've got | 12:03 |
hihanhoesj | and on top of that thick skin I always wear an asbestos suite. Your pyrotechnics just bounces of me :) | 12:03 |
hihanhoesj | froztbyte: Thats what I thought | 12:04 |
Kilos | i had to use xp to actually install a foreign usb modem to be able to unlock it | 12:04 |
Kilos | so it has its uses | 12:04 |
hihanhoesj | So I rephrase my question, anyone got experience using a Vodaphone K3565 on a headless linux server? | 12:05 |
Kilos | hihanhoesj, ask maaz to google that for you | 12:08 |
Kilos | Maaz, google using a Vodaphone K3565 on a headless linux server? | 12:08 |

hihanhoesj | I am able to connect | 12:13 |
hihanhoesj | but when I try go into the second tty, it gives me neverending information | 12:14 |
magespawn | okay then i have a kworld dvd usb maker that i want to use on linux. any help with that? | 12:14 |
hihanhoesj | which makes typing AT commands impossible | 12:14 |
hihanhoesj | I am looking for the AT command to turn the auto output off | 12:14 |
hihanhoesj | hmm I think I might have to write a wrapper program to ignore all auto output... | 12:16 |

nuvolari | hihanhoesj: whyt dont you try wvdial? | 12:20 |
nuvolari | I think it's a lot easier than issuing AT commands | 12:20 |
magespawn | i searched on linux not ubuntu | 12:20 |
hihanhoesj | nuvolari: I already use wvdial | 12:21 |
hihanhoesj | to make a connection | 12:21 |
Kilos | arent you using ubuntu magespawn | 12:21 |
nuvolari | oh, ya :P i forgot it uses AT in the config | 12:21 |
hihanhoesj | but I want to monitor my signal strength | 12:21 |
nuvolari | hihanhoesj: any reason why? | 12:21 |
nuvolari | if you really need that, VMC for you I guess | 12:22 |
hihanhoesj | Information is power :) | 12:22 |
nuvolari | hihanhoesj: there was a tool... the name escapes me | 12:22 |
hihanhoesj | does vmc not work on headed machines? | 12:22 |
nuvolari | hihanhoesj: wammu | 12:23 |
nuvolari | hihanhoesj: ah, forgot the headless mode | 12:23 |
hihanhoesj | :) lemme check something... | 12:23 |
hihanhoesj | ty | 12:23 |
nuvolari | ok, it's the wrong way round. wammu is the gui, and gammu is the CLI app | 12:24 |
hihanhoesj | thats right... | 12:25 |
nuvolari | I did not work with it extensively, but it worked with my Huawei E1690 | 12:25 |
hihanhoesj | tbh, I never even thought about gammu/wammu | 12:25 |
magespawn | kilos i am so much better search from you | 13:01 |

Kilos | i add ubuntu to all searches | 13:01 |
magespawn | will try it when I get home. want to add the extra ram first. | 13:02 |
Kilos | there is so much in the forums that someone else has already worked out | 13:02 |
Kilos | ubuntu loves lotsa ram | 13:02 |
Kilos | lemme know the speed diffs | 13:03 |
magespawn | will do. got to go work now later. | 13:03 |
magespawn | howdy all | 14:50 |

Kilos | youat work now | 14:52 |
magespawn | well back the pc at work yup. | 14:56 |
magespawn | at^ | 14:56 |
Kilos | ah | 14:57 |
magespawn | could not install the ram only one slot on the motherboard. did put in a wireless network card though. | 14:58 |
magespawn | trying to get it to work. | 14:58 |
Kilos | aw no place for more ram | 15:00 |
magespawn | does not look like it | 15:00 |
Kilos | maybe keep eyes open then for a 1g that is same size | 15:00 |
Kilos | they normally 2 next to each other | 15:00 |
magespawn | yup | 15:01 |
magespawn | got to go later all | 15:02 |
Kilos | maybe they snuck one space under a cover or something | 15:03 |
Kilos | have you got the manual | 15:03 |
Kilos | seems dumb to only take 512m ram | 15:05 |
Kilos | designed for xp i suppose | 15:09 |
nuvolari | lol Kilos | 15:27 |
nuvolari | maybe you're right :> | 15:27 |
Kilos | lol | 15:28 |
Kilos | even my old p4 had a sticker. designed for windows | 15:28 |
nuvolari | Kilos: it's only to make people think that | 15:31 |
nuvolari | :/ | 15:31 |
Kilos | hi kodez did you win | 15:31 |
Kilos | yeah nuvolari . first thing i removed | 15:32 |
kodez | hi kilos, i had not yet met solly. i will check him either later today or monday | 15:32 |
Kilos | ah | 15:32 |
kodez | do you why a vodacom 3g modem doesn't connect automatically without starting the pc with it connected? | 15:34 |
kodez | anyone can help, please | 15:34 |
Kilos | in nm you gotta tick a little block | 15:35 |
Kilos | in vpn connections | 15:35 |
Kilos | you go to the broadband section | 15:35 |
Kilos | then tick voda or whatever and edit | 15:36 |
kodez | it doesn't show at all in the nm | 15:37 |
Kilos | then at the top left..connect automatically | 15:37 |
Kilos | ok then go to broadband and go add | 15:37 |
Kilos | then you should see a choice of service providers | 15:38 |
Kilos | oh wait some | 15:40 |
Kilos | have you installed usb_modeswitch | 15:40 |
kodez | it seems it can't mount the 3g modem and can't show in the nm. i had configured it 100%. i am using it as we chat | 15:40 |
Kilos | its in synaptic | 15:40 |
Kilos | your pc sees the modem as storage without usb-modeswitch | 15:41 |
Kilos | are you using a usb modem now | 15:42 |
kodez | yes, i'm using a usb modem | 15:43 |
Kilos | whew then its something in the vodacom one | 15:43 |
Kilos | whew | 15:43 |
Kilos | i member with ian my son he had to delete the broadband stuff in vpn connections and then add them again | 15:45 |
kodez | the interesting thing is that, i can only mount it only if i connect it before starting my pc | 15:45 |
Kilos | what happens if you remove everything from vpn and unplug modem and restart pc and then plug in the modem | 15:46 |
Kilos | doesnt it then ask for new broadband connection | 15:47 |
kodez | it won't work. it's not a problem of connecting to the internet but it's a problem to identify the device | 15:48 |
Kilos | not because it already knows the one you got in there? | 15:49 |
Kilos | lsusb | 15:49 |
Kilos | then you will see if it sees it as the correct one | 15:50 |
Kilos | but from there we need a clever persons help cause i cant work them out without it in front of me | 15:51 |
kodez | the challenge is to connect to internet with another pc while troubleshooting this one. i will put a pause for now on this matter | 15:53 |
Kilos | ok | 15:54 |
Kilos | also i think superfly said something about wvdial for some modems | 15:55 |
nuvolari | kodez: ping | 16:03 |
nuvolari | kodez: send me a pastebin of "lsusb -v" | 16:04 |
