Kiloshi psydroid 07:38
psydroidhi Kilos07:38
psydroidhow did yesterday's adventure end?07:39
psydroidare you running ubuntu 12.04 now?07:39
Kiloswhich one?07:39
Kiloslol07:39
psydroidhaha07:40
Kilosi still cant get usb modem working on 12.0407:40
Kilosbut skis3g connects07:40
Kilosbut then emails and mxit dont work07:40
psydroidbut it works on 10.04?07:40
psydroidthat's weird07:41
Kilosyeah modem works kiff on 10.04 and 11.0407:41
psydroiddo you have any idea what the problem might be?07:41
Kilossomething in nm that lets enable mobile broadband to not show all the time07:42
Kilosworks with my cell as it shows enable mobile broadband07:43
Kilosbut the auto connect function does work either07:43
Kilosso every cut you gotta manual start07:44
psydroidI had some problems with nm on my (now broken) laptop too07:54
Kiloswith what releaser07:56
Kilosrelease07:56
Kiloshi SilverCode 07:56
psydroidmy network card worked perfectly on 10.04 but on 12.04 it wouldn't connect, so I needed an external USB adapter07:56
SilverCodehi Kilos07:56
psydroidit could be a kernel driver problem too, but I didn't get so far07:57
Kilosthere is lots of try this try that at them places 07:57
Kiloslaunchpad i think07:57
psydroidyeah07:57
Kilosor forums07:57
Kilosi tried lots of their scripts etc but nothing worked07:57
Kilosthey should just fix nm on 12.04 or bring the one from 10.10 or 11.0407:58
Kilos12.04 is 4 months old and still got the prob08:00
Kilosinternet connecting should be a priority08:00
psydroidthat's why I have them installed side by side, I can't be bothered to find solutions to problems that didn't even occur on previous releases08:00
psydroidthings should move forward, not backward08:01
psydroidespecially not on LTS versions08:01
Kilosya08:05
Kilosi wish i was cleverer08:05
Kiloswould make the 11.04 nm work on 12.0408:06
Kilosand remove the 12.04 one08:06
psydroidusually that's not even possible08:07
Kilosyeah but what is different08:07
Kilossame script files isnt it08:07
Kilossimilar08:07
Kiloslike why keep pumping one wheel that keeps going flat if you have a good spare in the boot08:08
psydroidor you would have to do a lot of coding to make up for the mismatch between library versions that are installed and expected to be installed on your system08:08
Kiloshi Stephan 08:09
Kiloshi superfly 08:09
superflyhi Kilos08:09
Kilossuperfly, does kde use the same nm as unity?08:10
Stephanhi Kilos08:10
superflyKilos: Network Manager has a number of parts08:10
superflyKilos: so while both KDE and Unity use Network Manager, they don't use the same one08:11
Kilosdoes the kde one work on usb modem08:11
psydroidhi superfly08:13
psydroidI'm eager to try out the next Ubuntu/Kubuntu daily to see if Wayland is already usable08:15
KilosStephan, are you new here?08:15
superflyhi psydroid08:16
superflypsydroid: are they using Wayland from 12.10?08:16
psydroidhi Stephan and Silvercode08:16
psydroidsuperfly, I think everything should be in place so people can test it in 12.10, I don't think they'll switch until 13.04 or 13.1008:17
psydroidthat's what I read when I was searching for information a few months ago08:18
Kilosyo barns Banlam bakuman 08:19
Kilospsydroid, if they remove nm from hiding the enable broadband option then it will work im sure08:20
Kilosalso if you lsusb it shows the modem in storage mode so usb-modeswitch isnt working properly08:21
psydroidKilos, what is the reason for hiding it in the first place?08:21
psydroidoh, so that looks like a problem with kernel drivers08:22
Kilosit seems to be fashionable08:22
Kilosim on 11.04 now here so cant show the output of lsusb08:23
Kilosbut its where it shows bbbb:000008:23
Kilosit should be bbbb:001708:23
KilosBus 001 Device 002: ID 1bbb:0000 T & A Mobile Phones 08:24
Kilosif we can hack that somehow it will work08:24
Kilosso modeswitch doesnt have to do the deciding08:25
psydroidhmm, I hope someone here knows how to deal with that stuff08:26
psydroidI've never had such an adapter to work with, since I've been on broadband using cable or adsl for more than a decade08:27
Kilosyou lucky08:28
Kilosdont you guys have rural areas without cable 08:28
Kilosim sure this usb modem thing is gonna lose us lotsa ubuntu followers08:29
Kilosand i dunno how to make modprob find it08:37
Kiloslooks like modprobe adds things to the kernel08:37
superflyKilos: My USB modem has always worked fine in Kubuntu08:39
Kiloseven 12.04?08:42
Kiloswhew08:42
superflyKilos: I haven't used it in 12.04 cause I have ADSL\08:43
Kiloslol lotsa peeps didnt have probs till 12.0408:43
Kilosinternet full of please helps08:44
Kilosdoes this look like a solution  guys08:48
Kiloshttp://askubuntu.com/questions/126854/problem-connecting-internet-through-usb-modem-micromax08:48
Kilosif so how would one make it a permanent thing not redo after every reboot08:49
SilverCodeKilos: you might be able to set up a udev rule to do that when the modem is inserted08:53
KilosSilverCode, i dunno how to do them kinda things08:54
SilverCodeKilos: yeah, unfortunately I can't give much more info than that right now. Have all those sorts of scripts on my work machine08:55
Kilosand is the vendor there OMEGA TECHNOLOGY08:55
Kilosnp but ty for the advice. someone will tell me how to 08:55
Kilosim going back to 12.04 brb08:57
superflyKilos: pastebin the entire ouput of lsusb for me please?09:10

magespawnEvening.15:45
Trixar_zaHey magespawn15:49
Cantidehi ^^15:49
Trixar_zaKilos: 3G Modem?15:49
Trixar_zaAlso I'm starting to notice there is several ways to connect using one now15:50
magespawnHey  Trixar_za, cantide15:50
Trixar_zaConnman's 3G extension, Network Manager, Saki3G (if you update it a bit for more modems and providers like 8ta) and Betavine15:52
Trixar_zaAnd that's off the top of my head15:52
nuvolario/ g'evening15:57
nuvolarilo magespawn, Cantide, Trixar_za 15:57
Trixar_zaGNOME Network Manager, Sakis3G*15:57
Trixar_za:p15:57
nuvolariseems like gnome is going downhill?15:58
nuvolariI hope it's not :-/15:58
Cantidehi nuvolari :)15:59
nuvolaribeen my favourite for quite a while15:59
Trixar_zaThere will always be MATE and Cinnamon for joo15:59
Trixar_zaEven XFCE4 is taking a 'classic' GNOME look16:00
magespawnHey nuvolari16:00
Kiloshi magespawn Trixar_za smile 16:00
smilehi Kilos :p16:00
Kilosyeah Trixar_za sorry i was asleep. head no good today16:01
Trixar_zaBut yeah, Betavine is the closest you'd get to the Vodafone client on Linux16:01
Trixar_za:P16:01
Cantidehmm16:01
Cantidewhat's the problem, Kilos ?16:01
Kilossec im trying to think16:01
Kilosoh ya i cant get it going with nm16:02
Kiloshave sakis3g but then no email works or mxit16:02
Trixar_zaRead up. You have lots of options :)16:02
Trixar_zaWait. why not?16:02
Trixar_zaActually, better question, what model is the modem? :P16:03
Kilosi read all the stuff int the help places there16:03
Trixar_zaI can rebuild sakis3g to be newer atleast16:03
Kilosits an alcatel stc one16:03
Kiloswas from saudi arabia but unblocked it16:03
nuvolariyeah, xfce is rocking my boat currently, so I'm happy with it16:03
Cantideoh...16:04
Cantidei see .-.16:04
Kilosi am using 11.04 now and it works fine16:04
smileKilos: cool :)16:04
Kilosits in the nm dropdown window it doesnt show enable mobilebroadband on 12.0416:05
Kilosalso if i go lsusb it shows the modem in storage mode16:05
KilosBus 003 Device 002: ID 1bbb:0000 T & A Mobile Phones 16:06
Kilosbut on releases before 12.04 usb-modeswitch sorted that16:06
Trixar_zaYeah, but usb-modeswitch-data has some errors :/16:08
Trixar_zaTo make it work with NM, you need to have the damn thing switched16:08
Kilosoh16:08
Kilosdid you look at the link i left here16:09
Kilosoh my was i still on 12.0416:09
Trixar_zaThe askubuntu one?16:09
Kilosno16:09
Kiloswhere i said i gotta install windows16:10
Trixar_zaThat's bad advice. You must use option instead of usbserial16:10
Kiloshttp://luv2know.wordpress.com/16:10
Trixar_zausbserial has a buffer limit16:10
Trixar_zawhere option does not16:10
Kilosdidnt that say you can get a program to change the switch thin in the modem itself16:11
Kilosproduct id you change16:12
Kilosthen it wont be seen as storage isnt it??16:12
Trixar_zaYes, when most modem switch their product id change16:12
Trixar_zaThat's what you normally use usb_modeswitch fore16:13
Trixar_zaHell, it's what I sometimes use sakis3g for - just to switch it :P16:13
Kilosya i member when i first went to the modem16:13
Trixar_zaThen I dial up using gnome-ppp16:13
Kilosdo you just type in gnome-ppp16:14
Kilosthe answer would be to block the storage in the modem then nm will work again surely16:15
Kilosive lost sound here on 11.04 thats why i never heard you guys16:16
Kilosoh my16:17
Trixar_zaNo you need to install gnome-ppp and you probably need to run it as root to work properly. For some reason if the user isn't in the right group, they can't dialup16:19
Kilosok ill try that. see you now now on 12.0416:20
Trixar_zaOh right, Ubuntu comes with Sudo16:22
Trixar_zaI keep forgetting :/16:23
smileTrixar_za: if you keep forgetting in a terminal, type sudo su16:25
smileafter that you don't have to use sudo anymore, as long as the terminal stays open16:26
smile:p16:26
Trixar_zaNah, it's just that SliTaz doesn't come with it pre-installed16:26
Trixar_zaso I have gotten in the habit of explaining around using Sudo16:26
smileI see :)16:26
smilesudo is maybe 0.5 mb, that's too much for slitaz16:27
Trixar_zaNo and my fork will probably have it16:27
Trixar_zaIf I ever get a proper connection to make it :P16:27
smilelol. :p16:27
smilebye :)16:29
Trixar_zaBye smile16:29
smilegood night :)16:29
KilosTrixar_za, sorry to worry you. gnome-ppp needs some info i dunn16:51
Kilosdunno either16:51
Kilosdial command16:52
Kiloshave *99# and says its invalid16:52
Trixar_za*99# works for me. So does the username internet and password 1234516:53
Trixar_za:P16:53
Trixar_zaBut you need to setup the device it uses16:53
Trixar_zaUnder setup16:53
Kilosthat where i put *99#16:54
Trixar_zaFor my cellphone it's /dev/ttyACM0 and for my 3G Modem it's /dev/ttyUSB316:54
Kilosminy is /dev/ttyUSB216:54
Trixar_zaI use sakis3g to switch the modem, so it does the whole device setup and everything and gives me a device to work with16:55
Trixar_zahttp://www.trixarian.net/sakis3g.gz <--- my copy of Sakis3g16:56
KilosATM1L3DT*99#16:56
KilosGNOME PPP: STDERR: ERROR16:56
KilosGNOME PPP: STDERR: --> Invalid dial command.16:56
Kilosi think its the dialup string thing thats wrong16:56
Kilosi got your sakis3g but need to work how to install it, other one i did with wget commands from their site16:57
Trixar_za--> Modem initialized.16:58
Trixar_za--> Sending: ATM0L0DP*99#16:58
Trixar_zaJust right click and extract it16:58
Trixar_zaThe just run it. It will ask for root permission as it needs it16:58
Trixar_zaIt's a normal bash script16:58
Trixar_zaComes with usb_modeswitch built in16:58
Kilos--> Modem initialized.16:59
Kilos --> Sending: ATM1L3DT*99#16:59
Kilos--> Waiting for carrier.16:59
Kilos ATM1L3DT*99#16:59
Kilos ERROR17:00
KilosGNOME PPP: STDERR: --> Invalid dial command.17:00
KilosTrixar_za, what must i right click?17:05
Trixar_zathe sakis3g.gz file and extract it17:05
Trixar_zaDoubling clicking should pop up a dialog box in Ubuntu. If it doesn't, try running it from a terminal17:06
Kilosoh. this gnome-ppp sees the modem just needs to know how or where to dial *99#17:06
Kilosread up 1017:07
Trixar_zaSakis3g is probably the easiest since it does most of the work for you17:10
Trixar_zaShame about it not being updated in 2 years17:11
