[01:58] <Tavor> Whenever someone can assist, I'm having an issue where my laptop running Ubuntu 12.04, seems to create a 'dead' zone where other devices (like my iPhone for instance or other laptop) cannot connect to the internet. I feel is this is an Ubuntu issue as my Winodws 7 partition does not offer this odd situation. Thanks for any assistance!
[01:59] <Tavor> And yes, this is a wireless connection
[02:04] <Tavor> Also noting that disconnecting my laptop from the internet allows other nearby devices to be able to connect with no issues. Once again though, if I connect my laptop on Ubuntu to the network, other devices (while shown to still be connected to a network) will not load anything and thus become rendered useless while my laptop is connected. In some form of fashion, it's like a total wifi hogger. On the flipside, if I boot into my
[02:05] <Tavor> behavior works fine
[02:05] <Tavor> between any devices
[02:10] <holstein> Tavor: interesting
[02:10] <holstein> Tavor: some broadcom n chip?
[02:10] <Tavor> Yes, it's a broadcom wifi driver
[02:10] <Tavor> the model, I cannot recall at the very moment however...
[02:11] <holstein> Tavor: you can try other drivers i suppose
[02:13] <Tavor> holstein: I could, however, this issue has arisen about a week ago (I have been running 12.04 for about 9 months or so) and it just seems rather strange that my Windows 7 side on my laptop does not cause such an issue.
[02:13] <holstein> Tavor: those are different drivers
[02:13] <holstein> Tavor: usually, the only thing troubleshooting with windows can constructively demonstrate is that the hardare is functioning with supported drivers
[02:14] <holstein> you cant say "the drivers are this way in windows and should be this way in linux" since they are different drivers, and likely not supported anyway
[02:15] <holstein> if it used to be working, the first thing i would do is boot an older kernel
[02:16] <Tavor> It appears that perhaps a recent update down the pipe has caused the issue then. Well, thank you for assisting, looks like I'll have to take that into consideration about using an older kernel. Thanks!
[02:16] <holstein> Tavor: likely the kernel update.. thats the first thing i usually test
[02:17] <Tavor> holstein: Hm, while I'm not too savy about messing with Ubuntu's kernel, I'll look into it.
[02:17] <holstein> Tavor: i not either
[02:18] <holstein> Tavor: its literallly this easy.. reboot.. tap shift to see the grub list if you dont see it.. select an older kernel, and boot it
[02:18] <holstein> Tavor: if the device works, then you know where the issue is.. in the kernel
[02:18] <holstein> !grub
[02:18] <Tavor> Oh! Okay, I see what you mean now, thank you, I'll do that now, thanks!
[02:19] <holstein> yeah.. dont add or remove anything.. just boot it once and test
[02:19] <Tavor> Will do.

[13:38] <danman1453> good morning
[13:39] <danman1453> i have several lines in my xorg.0.log that I am trying to debug
[13:39] <danman1453> one of them is "FBDEV(0): FBIOBLANK: Invalid Argument".
[13:40] <danman1453> Is there a good resource I can look at to debug this on my own?
[13:45] <Silverlion> danman1453: try http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=52253 maybe this helps. but i havent read the entire thread
[13:45] <Silverlion> so dont blame me :D
[13:45] <danman1453> i will give it a look.
[13:46] <danman1453> Mostly I am trying to get my dual port video card working. I am just taking the debugging step by step.
[13:48] <danman1453> stinking nvidia cards.
[13:53] <danman1453> just tried x -configure and got the following msg:
[13:53] <danman1453> "Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices"
[13:53] <danman1453> Just vague enough to not be of much help.
[13:55] <danman1453> It was working, sort of, then stopped. Now it seems the ssecond port of the card is not detected?
[13:55] <Silverlion> sorry but i am not a dever :D
[13:55] <danman1453> ???
[13:55] <Silverlion> so wrong person to talk to about that
[13:55] <Silverlion> i dont even understand what you are talking about :(
[13:55] <danman1453> would you point me to the correct channel, if you could?
[13:56] <Silverlion> which distro are you working with?
[13:58] <danman1453> ubuntu 12.04
[14:00] <Silverlion> in that case i would suggest you try #ubuntu
[14:01] <danman1453> ok, thanks Silverlion
