| pleia2 | bkerensa secretly moved to kenya to replace grantbow and didn't tell us | 07:12 |
| pleia2 | why is your internet so terrible? :) | 07:12 |
| bkerensa_ | well | 07:14 |
| bkerensa_ | the main Access Point went down | 07:14 |
| bkerensa_ | and I cant access it at all | 07:14 |
| bkerensa_ | its not responding to ping, telnet, http nothing | 07:14 |
| pleia2 | main access point? | 07:14 |
| bkerensa_ | Yeah I live adjacent to one of the hotels I do wifi for | 07:15 |
| pleia2 | ah | 07:15 |
| bkerensa_ | so I have to wait maybe till tomorrow for our maintainance guy to come out and go on the roof and take down the AP so I can reset the device | 07:15 |
| bkerensa_ | or potentially replace it | 07:15 |
| pleia2 | fun | 07:15 |
| bkerensa_ | and its snowing | 07:15 |
| bkerensa_ | so idk | 07:15 |

| Darkwing | Nice! | 18:18 |
| Darkwing | Wikipedia is down | 18:18 |
| Darkwing | :D | 18:19 |
| DonkeyHotei | has been for ages | 18:20 |
| Darkwing | just noticed that it's down in protest to SOPA | 18:20 |
| Darkwing | I'm thinking that is going to be one of my hot topics for this weekend. | 18:20 |
| DonkeyHotei | it's already been a hot topic in this channel for more than 24 hours | 18:22 |
| DonkeyHotei | i'm proud to report that i was the one who brought it up here first | 18:23 |
| akk | Weird, I've been doing a bunch of wikipedia lookups this morning and they've been working here. | 18:26 |
| DonkeyHotei | wikipedia still works unfettered if you are a user of NoScript, sadly | 18:27 |
| akk | ah | 18:27 |
| pleia2 | yeah, they just use javascript for the "blackout" | 18:28 |
| akk | Maybe I should feel guilty that the net's still working for me. :) | 18:30 |
| DonkeyHotei | yes. BURN, WITCH! j/k | 18:32 |
| Darkwing | There we go... blacked out my site. | 19:08 |
| nhaines | Looks like the presenter system for Ubucon is running precise nice and easy. | 19:25 |
| akk | The presenter system being laptops provided in the rooms? | 19:26 |
| nhaines | akk: The presenter system being my personal desktop computer with a Velociraptor hard drive donated for the weekend by a coworker, tha I lug to the conference. | 19:27 |
| nhaines | s/tha/that/ | 19:27 |
| akk | ah, your presenter system, thought you meant something conference-wide | 19:27 |
| nhaines | Ubucon-wide. :) | 19:28 |
| akk | ah | 19:28 |
| nhaines | Between the Velociraptor drive and backup thumb drives, should be perfect for presentations. | 19:29 |
| nhaines | It's booting pretty slow, though. Might drop back to oneiric (or dual boot). | 19:45 |
| akk | That's a bummer, if boot time has gotten slower. | 19:55 |
| akk | BTW, I installed oneiric last night on the ExoPC for the booth. | 19:56 |
| akk | It's pretty much ready to go, but it has some issues -- like Banshee keeps popping up every minute or two, I have no idea why. | 19:56 |
| akk | Booth people are more than welcome to configure things to make it work better. :) | 19:57 |
| nhaines | akk: when I unplug the network cable it drops from 49s bootup to 14s bootup. So It's probably just a work-in-progress sort of thing. | 19:58 |
| Darkwing | Disable network boot in the BIOS | 19:59 |
| nhaines | As I'm auditing the boot process from bootloader to desktop, I doubt that is applicable. | 19:59 |
| akk | Oneiric hangs for 3+ minutes at boot if there's no network available. :( Pangolin probably does too. | 19:59 |
| Darkwing | ahhh | 19:59 |
| nhaines | akk: opposite for me! | 20:00 |
| akk | I can't imagine who thought it was a good idea to make boot dependent on configuring the network, on an OS that can run on laptops. | 20:00 |
| nhaines | Well, with precise, anyway. Oneiric doesn't care. | 20:00 |
| DonkeyHotei | i run oneiric and wifi connects only after the desktop appears, pretty quickly | 20:01 |
| akk | If there's an entry in /etc/network/interfaces that involves DHCP, then the boot will wait on DHCP for minutes. | 20:01 |
| nhaines | Hmm, that's odd. | 20:01 |
| nhaines | Seems like that should background. | 20:01 |
| akk | You might think. | 20:01 |
| DonkeyHotei | bug | 20:02 |
| akk | Unfortunately the networking stuff isn't scriptable to the extent where I can just edit /etc/init.d/networking and add an & after the dhcp | 20:02 |
| akk | (the dhcp is coming from something deep inside ifconfig or ifup or some other C program) | 20:02 |
| akk | I should probably add something to /etc/init.d/something-called-early that does a rm /etc/network/interfaces. | 20:03 |
| DonkeyHotei | not if there's something in there you want | 20:03 |
| akk | yeah, but at least I can always copy something there later | 20:04 |
| akk | though I like having the network available early if it's actually there | 20:04 |
| akk | At SCALE I'll probably have to have networking turned off anyway, unless they have a WPA network available (nobody seems to know). | 20:05 |
| DonkeyHotei | scale connectivity was never good | 20:06 |
| akk | I wasn't able to get a signal most of last year ... I think I got one for a few minutes at a time, a few times | 20:07 |
| akk | but my new laptop doesn't seem able to talk to open/802.11b networks at all (Broadcom, probably a bug in the driver?) | 20:07 |
| akk | I ordered a new Intel wifi card, but I'm a bit nervous about opening up my laptop for the first time a day before a conference | 20:08 |
| akk | so I might chicken out on that. | 20:08 |
| DonkeyHotei | there are several competing drivers for broadcom, so try a different one | 20:09 |
| akk | I thought there were several drivers because there were several chips? Didn't know I could use a different driver with this chip. | 20:10 |
| akk | (brcm80211 is the driver, I think) | 20:11 |
| DonkeyHotei | depends which chip it is | 20:11 |
| DonkeyHotei | some have more than one driver and some don't | 20:11 |
| akk | I think it's a brcm4313 | 20:12 |
| DonkeyHotei | follow the dmesg-brick road | 20:12 |
| akk | (or maybe 3413, I get those confused) | 20:12 |
| nhaines | akk: nothing like upgrading a computer the day before an important conference to get the adrenaline running! | 20:14 |
| akk | DonkeyHotei: dmesg doesn't actually give a model, just "Broadcom BCM43xx" | 20:16 |
| DonkeyHotei | bah | 20:17 |
| DonkeyHotei | not on any line? | 20:17 |
| akk | I've grepped -i broadcom and -i brcm | 20:17 |
| DonkeyHotei | try grepping 43 | 20:17 |
| akk | I knew you were going to say that | 20:18 |
| DonkeyHotei | though, not every model in the 43xx line actually begins with 43 | 20:18 |
| akk | The only thing 43 matches that wasn't shown in the other lines is: "Applying 4313 WARs" | 20:19 |
| akk | which I suspect is the chip just because grepping for broadcom linux finds a lot of 4313 references | 20:19 |
| akk | though I don't know what a WAR is in that context. | 20:20 |
| nhaines | In A.D. 2101 war was beginning. | 20:20 |
| akk | (war is not an easy thing to google for :) | 20:20 |
| DonkeyHotei | definitely not a song by edwin starr | 20:21 |
| akk | I also never found a way to google for "my broadcom works on WPA but not on open networks" | 20:21 |
| akk | Lots of pages contain both words WPA and open, or 802.11b and 802.11g -- the trick is googling for cases where one works and the other doesn't. | 20:22 |
| jtatum | http://thedailywtf.com/ good sopa page | 20:35 |
| akk | heh | 20:39 |
| akk | That bit about the joys of discovering a new phone number -- that even applied to the early web (pre search engines). | 20:40 |
| akk | I remember URLs got passed around word-of-mouth -- "Hey, there's a BOOKSTORE on the web now!" "Oh, yeah? Cool! How do I see it?" | 20:42 |
| jtatum | pre-working search engines i suppose :) | 20:44 |
