SquirmI see you're struggling there07:16
Kilosbad bad bad07:16
Kilosmagespawn, inetpro_ why didnt you okes tell me a router dont look for a wifi signal07:18
Kilosi shoulda rather got a wifi adapter card07:18
Kiloshi Vince-0 07:18
Vince-0haai! That quit message wasn't a custom one - its not set like that anywhere07:18
magespawnthe router can be made to act as a wireless ap or a bridge, if it can connect to the wifi network07:19
Kiloswow07:19
magespawnhi Vince-007:19
Kiloshow do i tell it to search then magespawn 07:20
magespawnlet me check the router specs, which one was it again?07:20
Kilosmillion 07:20
Kilosum07:20
magespawnbillion 07:21
Kilosbillion 7300nx07:21
Kilossorry had to hunt07:21
Kilosarent they made to supply an adsl 3g connection to wifi lan peeps only07:23
magespawnthey do that as well07:24
Kilosim just about ready to pack it away07:24
Kilosi couldnt find any search thing and neice found a wifi signal on her tablet here07:25
Kiloshi ThatGraemeGuy wb07:26
Kilosniece07:26
magespawnthwasn't that signal coming from your router?07:26
* Kilos throws bricks at inetpro_ 07:26
Kilosno name of a business near here07:27
Kilosso there must be others too07:27
Kilosif wifi is cheaper than mobile maybe i can buy a connection to one of the businesses near by07:28
Kiloshi nlsthzn 07:29
nlsthznmorning07:33
magespawnKilos: I do not see anything in the spec sheet that says it can, so you would need somebody to have a look at that router07:38
Kilosoh my07:39
Kilosyou cant see anything but white cover with lights in front and sockets and aerials at the back07:39
magespawni meant in the software07:40
superflyohi magespawn07:40
magespawnhey superfly07:40
Kilosmaybe they got a forums magespawn where one can get infoe07:42
Kilosinfo07:42
ThatGraemeGuymorning Kilos, everyone07:42
magespawnwhen you log into the router itself it, usually under wireless network settings, usually called wireless bridge or something similar07:42
magespawnhi ThatGraemeGuy07:43
Kilosah lemme look07:43
Kilosyay my 3g strength is back to 3 bars07:43
superflyohi ThatGraemeGuy07:49

magespawnKilos gets 3 bars and then disconnects? lol07:52
Kilosim starting to hate that wifi thing07:56
Kiloskills my 3g everytime07:56

inetprogood morning08:39
inetproThatGraemeGuy: me08:39
ThatGraemeGuydid you manage to sort it out?08:40
inetproThatGraemeGuy: why?08:40
ThatGraemeGuyjust curious. got a new box i'm installing so i wondered08:40
inetproThatGraemeGuy: yes I installed Dell Open Manager or some such08:40
ThatGraemeGuyah ok08:40
inetproThatGraemeGuy: see http://linux.dell.com/repo/community/deb/08:41

inetproit's a bit outdated if you ask me but it works08:42
ThatGraemeGuycool08:42
inetproand all info is actually nicely accessible via the cli as well08:42
inetprowith the omreport command08:43
Squirmmagespawn: lol. surprisingly, I'm still flying with that motor. It's been too windy to try and attach the GoPro08:46
Squirmso, from the first video, I've captured a whole bunch of frames I now want to merge into one large 'panorama' type image. Any idea how I can automatically do this?08:50
magespawnnuvolari might know08:52
magespawnKilos: wb08:52
inetproKilos: wb, I was just about to ask what happened with you08:53
Kilosty magespawn terrible signal that keeps dropping and the billion dont help either08:53
Kiloshi there inetpro 08:53
inetproSquirm: you must learn to fly man :-)08:54
Kilosmagespawn, did you look at that link in my channel or was i disconnected08:54
Squirminetpro: I know how to fly08:54
Kilosinto trees08:54
Squirmlike I said, the tree jumped in the way08:54
Kiloslol08:54
Squirmand the plane is really... dosile, with the GoPro onboard08:55
magespawnwill check it now08:55
Kilosdocile08:55
inetproSquirm: looks like a lot of fun08:55
Kiloshmm...08:55
inetproMaaz: define docile08:56

magespawnKilos: to do that you would have to check if your router can handle dd-wrt software08:57
magespawndid you check the router to see if it can bridge?08:58
Kilosi see nowhere in it the word bridge08:58
Kilosor in the manual so far08:58
Kilosdid find one link where someone else cant connect it to their 3g with 8ta but works on voda08:59
Kiloshey you clever peeps go read this09:04
Kiloshttp://lifehacker.com/178132/hack-attack-turn-your-60-router-into-a-600-router09:04
inetproKilos: forget about it being a router and focus on making it work as a switch09:05
Kilosai! what does a switch do?09:05
inetproobviously if you could get it to work as a router with a 3g dongle it would be ideal, but I doubt it will work with your arab thing09:06
inetproyou would need another 3g usb device09:06
Kilosinetpro, listen to my plan of yesterday09:07
Kilosi was trying to share 3g from a second pc09:07
Kilosthe idea was that if i then put the router on the second pc it will work through that pc to share this ones 3g09:08
Kilosdoes that sound feasable09:08
KilosMaaz, define feasable09:08
MaazKilos: I don't know about feasable. Maybe you meant Leasable, Feasible or feasible?09:08
Kilosfeasible09:09
inetproai!09:09
Kiloswhat ai!09:09
Kilosdumb idea?09:10
inetprono time to explain now but basically you need to have it as follows09:11
inetpro3g <-> PC <-> switch <-> other PC's or wireless devices09:11
Kilossjoe09:13
Kilosnp ill keep playing and see what the outcome09:13
inetproto be more clear09:14
inetpro3g <-> PC acting as router/gateway <-> switch <-> other PC's or wireless devices09:14
Kilostheres that switch thing again09:15
Kilosai!09:15
SquirmKilos: the switch = your current router09:18
Kilosoh ty Squirm 09:18

superflyi tried using awesome earlier today. it was pretty awesome, except i needed to actually be useful, so I had to go back to KDE12:35
Kiloshehe12:36
psyatwhaha12:42
charlsuperfly: how is awesome not useful?12:54
charla window manager is a window manager, as long as it manages your windows it does its job12:54
superflycharl: it is not useful because I don't know it12:54
superflyit has a bunch of shortcuts and a learning curve, and I just don't have the time to learn it at work right now12:55
superflycharl: and I never said awesome wasn't useful, I said that *I* need to be useful today12:56
superfly"...except i needed to actually be useful..."12:57

Kiloshaha18:11
mazalAnd it's only the hdd's that does it , the sticks behaves18:12
magespawnno idea18:13
mazalIs there an auto mount setting somewhere magespawn ?18:13
magespawnmaybe a lose connection, have seen that before18:13
magespawnnot sure there is software to install to do auto mount18:14
mazalI don't think so it fits really tight , and it's two different drives doing it with different sockets and cables.18:14
