| sagaci | have an internode (huawei e1762), i'm currently on the command line, how to go about connecting? what command or protocol should I read up on? | 12:37 |
|---|---|---|
| sagaci | so used to just using network-manager, want to know how to do it all over the cli | 12:37 |
| head_victim | sagaci: never really looked into it, does it show up as an interface? (I've never used a usb wireless modem) | 12:44 |
| sagaci | it does after I connect it via network manager over on a gnome environment... ppp0 | 12:45 |
| head_victim | sagaci: http://johnlewis.ie/mobile-broadband-from-the-command-line-in-ubuntu/ | 12:46 |
| head_victim | :D | 12:46 |
| sagaci | well I'll try that soon | 12:48 |
| sagaci | thanks | 12:48 |
| sagaci | most of the top google searches relates to intrepid | 12:49 |
| head_victim | Glad to help :) | 12:49 |
| sagaci | if it works I'll be back here on irssi | 12:49 |
| head_victim | sagaci: come back to the good gui side! :D | 12:58 |
| sagaci | ok wish me luck | 13:09 |
| sagaci | no joy | 13:19 |
| head_victim | Bummer | 13:21 |
| head_victim | I'd help more if I had any idea whatsoever | 13:21 |
| sagaci | i'm using the gui network-manager applet now so I guess it's just finding out its backend | 13:24 |
| head_victim | Yeah I've played with ethernet but no idea about modem stuff | 13:28 |
| head_victim | I've always had standalone modems and stand alone routers | 13:29 |
| sagaci | yeah, compizconfig-settings-manager is pretty comprehensive | 13:30 |
| head_victim | I'm working on getting my lightscribe burner working | 13:36 |
| head_victim | I got 4 perfect the next 2 have been coasters :/ | 13:36 |
| sagaci | lightscribe being? | 13:40 |
| head_victim | Burns a label into cds/dvds | 13:40 |
| sagaci | ah ok | 13:42 |
| head_victim | I didn't think it was even possible under linux, found out it works, just not reliably it seems. Either that or my drive is failing | 13:46 |
| head_victim | Hmm that one came out beautiful. Maybe it was a bad couple of disks or overheating or something | 13:48 |
| sagaci | what do you use that for, ubuntu cds? | 14:01 |
| head_victim | I'm actually doing up a slideshow for a funeral. | 14:02 |
| head_victim | But you can do it for whatever | 14:02 |
| head_victim | I wouldn't do it for throw away CDs though, it takes 20 minutes to do one | 14:05 |
| head_victim | Hmm glad I have both DVDRWs as lightscribe drives, if I alternate between the two they work perfect. I think the coasters were overheating issues so giving it a break in between each seems to work ok | 14:15 |
| sagaci | head_victim, when's the next ubuntu event that we can do something as a LoCo? | 14:22 |
| head_victim | sagaci: nothing planned to my knowledge just yet, I've asked if anythings in the works though so will let you know if I hear anything. | 14:23 |
| head_victim | The main page at http://loco.ubuntu.com/ has a section in the lower left where they pop up when decided upon | 14:23 |
| head_victim | sagaci: http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/05/23/community-team-plans-for-oneiric/ is a bit of a rundown on what should happen at some stage, but I don't think they're set in stone as to when/what just yet | 14:25 |
