| pip__ | Hi, has anyone updated their AMD drivers using the Steam for Linux utility thing? | 13:46 |
| pip__ | If so, does it actually work? | 13:46 |
| Chalksmith | I'm having trouble connecting to a WPA2 wireless network (WPA works, card supports WP2) , could someone point me in the right direction? | 15:03 |
| MacGuges | Chalksmith: can you get a list of access points? | 16:55 |
| Chalksmith | MacGuges: yes, with "sudo iwlist scanning" I get 8. The one I wish to connect to is the first | 17:04 |
| budtuba | I'm watching | 17:09 |
| MacGuges | Chalksmith: so you're using the command line. is your wlan interface showing on iwconfig? | 17:15 |
| MacGuges | you can specify your AP with the command iwconfig <interface> essid <my AP> | 17:16 |
| Chalksmith | MacGuges: well I've been trying to use network-manager as I usually do but it tries to connect and after some time just says it has disconnected without ever connect to the internet | 17:23 |
| Chalksmith | MacGuges: I used the command you suggested | 17:24 |
| MacGuges | ok | 17:24 |
| MacGuges | if you enter the command iwconfig (by itself) you should see your interface with some information about your AP listed. | 17:26 |
| MacGuges | you can then run sudo dhclient <interface> to request an IP address from your AP | 17:27 |
| MacGuges | that is how you'd configure WPA2 through the shell. | 17:27 |
| Chalksmith | running iwconfig alone gives some information such as the essid is set correctly however I have "Access Point: Not-Associated" | 17:29 |
| Chalksmith | I'm running dhclient now and there is no output to the terminal | 17:29 |
| Chalksmith | and it hasn't returned yet | 17:30 |
| Chalksmith | ah, it returned | 17:33 |
| MacGuges | oh, dhclient may be a daemon-type process. or else it may just be waiting for a response. | 17:33 |
| MacGuges | oh good | 17:33 |
| Chalksmith | now trying iwconfig has "ESSID:off/any" | 17:33 |
| MacGuges | ok | 17:34 |
| MacGuges | I've been using wicd myself lately, though Network Manager usually does a fine job in ubuntu. | 17:36 |
| Chalksmith | well it works well for my wpa connections | 17:37 |
| Chalksmith | would wicd work on ubuntu? would it be worth giving it a shot? | 17:37 |
| MacGuges | just not this wpa2 one? | 17:37 |
| Chalksmith | yep | 17:37 |
| MacGuges | It won't hurt to install an alternative. | 17:38 |
| MacGuges | you'd just need to turn off the Network manager service before starting the wicd service. | 17:38 |
| Chalksmith | how do I do that? | 17:38 |
| MacGuges | http://askubuntu.com/questions/19320/whats-the-recommended-way-to-enable-disable-services | 17:39 |
| MacGuges | you'd use Startup Applications.. | 17:40 |
| Chalksmith | kk | 17:40 |
| Chalksmith | I'll just do all that | 17:40 |
| MacGuges | if you're in unity, enter startup ap | 17:40 |
| Chalksmith | will be a min | 17:40 |
| MacGuges | gl | 17:40 |
| Chalksmith | I think I'm using wicd now | 17:48 |
| Chalksmith | I'll give the wireless a go | 17:49 |
| MacGuges | you'll be using a different gui for wicd. | 17:49 |
| MacGuges | I run wicd-client on my laptop to manager my access points. | 17:49 |
| MacGuges | err, manage | 17:50 |
| isiah | i am bored of lvms and overclocking | 18:39 |
