Laneymeow15:31
brobostigonit is preferable isnt it, to setup your wifi channel, to one, that is as far away as possible, from any around it? yes.15:55
shaunobrobostigon: big time, yeah.  wifi channels overlap a lot, so you don't just want to be on a different channel, but preferable 4-5 channels away from your closest neighbours16:51
ali1234and it's better to be on the same channel than off by one16:51
brobostigonshauno: everything is used, except for some space between channel 8 and 9 and 3 and 4.16:52
shaunothat's pretty normal.  the trick is to figure out who's using them.  I Worry more about coliding with my neighbour upstairs, than the offices across the road.  I can drown out weak neighbours16:54
brobostigonours is set to channel 6 and is atleast between 2 to three time as powerful as anything around here.16:55
brobostigontimes*16:56
shaunothe other fun one is to make sure your wifi is set to UK, because a lot are set to US out of the box, so won't have channels 12 & 1316:56
brobostigonit has 12 and 13.16:56
ali1234a lot of hardware won't allow you to use 12 and 13 under linux17:04
shaunodidn't know that.  but then I don't use linux on mobile devices17:06
ali1234not mobile devices.17:07
ali1234laptops17:07
brobostigoninteresting,17:07
ali1234it can also be caused by the AP17:07
ali1234because CRDA will only allow the set of channels allowed by every device involved17:08
ali1234the AP broadcasts it's idea of what country it is in in the beacons17:08
ali1234if it broadcasts "hello i'm in china" on channel 13, linux will attempt to connect and then fail over and over17:08
ali1234and it won't give an error message17:09
ali1234it will put some message on dmesg like "disconnecting by choice"17:09
brobostigonso as shauno said, inportent to set the country properly.?17:09
ali1234setting the country doesn't make any different17:09
brobostigoninteresting, hmmm,17:10
ali1234you can't et the country in your wifi card firmware without special software17:10
ali1234and you can't set the country code at all on a lot of routers17:10
ali1234you can, but it doesn't actually affect what the beacon says due to badly designed firmwares17:10
brobostigonah.17:10
ali1234so the router will hapily use channel 13, but your linux machine will refuse to connect to it17:11
ali1234windows doesn't do nearly as much checks so they work fine17:11
brobostigonhmmm,17:11
ali1234basically attempting to use 12 or 13 is a waste of time because it wont work properly on too many devices17:12
ali1234unless you are lucky and didn't buy any broken hardware17:12
SuperMattnice to see the new ubuntu icon has dropped into raring17:27
SuperMattanyone else noticed that the raring has been more stable during development than any other of previous releases?17:43
penguin42SuperMatt: It's been pretty good for me - I know a few people who are having problems getting it to boot17:44
SuperMattreally? Good job I haven't considered upgrading my work pc17:45
kvarleyAny plans yet to integrate Nautilus with Mega?18:30
penguin42SuperMatt: I think it's specific hardware, but I know 2 people with very different hardware18:32
andrewsHey all - does anyone else have problems using Ubuntu and Channel 4's On Demand service?19:17
Daraelandrews: freezing after the last of the ads?19:24
DaraelI was just getting ready to report that it seemed to be working fine from here, too.19:24
bootkigftrgdsdwatkins: Thanks- heaben's Sheffield got it right ... http://goo.gl/JZYPo aall for today, beddie-byes All19:25
andrewsDarael - yes.  Thats indeed the problem!19:27
andrewsOnly certain shows though19:28
andrewsSome work, some just go black screen and freeze after the adverts19:29
DaraelWell, no idea what's causing it, but at least it's definitely not just thee.19:29
andrewsWas trying to watch that World Without End and it just freezes after the nokia ads.  Is it some DRM lockout?19:30

penguin42popey: Couldn't you bring some warm weather back with you?20:18
ali1234hmm... maplin sells on amazon...20:22
ali1234http://www.amazon.co.uk/V80H-70MAH-MOUNTED-BATTERY-RECHARGEABLE/dp/B005ZS3XAQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1358626896&sr=1-320:22
ali1234prices are identical, including delivery... so they are making a loss on that over the website20:25
ali1234but presumably they get enough extra business to make up for that20:25
