| Kilos | i dunno how to do that | 07:47 |
| Kilos | but peeps are buying them like mad so it gotta be added | 07:47 |

| Kilos__ | and im still busy with the mount stuff | 08:17 |
| Kilos__ | how did you get to me man the modems were unplugged and d-link plugged | 08:18 |
| Kilos__ | only got to mount /dev/sr and hit tab twice then you said hope it works | 08:19 |
| Kilos__ | mine shows as /dev/sr0 but when i try mount it it says mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0 | 08:21 |
| Kilos__ | grrrr | 08:21 |
| kbmonkey | any other sr's? | 08:24 |
| Kilos__ | nope | 08:24 |
| kbmonkey | eish | 08:24 |

| Kilos | yeah | 08:27 |
| kbmonkey | my work here is done! :D | 08:27 |
| Kilos | nononono | 08:28 |
| * kbmonkey dusts hands | 08:28 | |
| Kilos | how can that mount /devsr tab tab make it work | 08:28 |
| kbmonkey | nonono? don't give us mixed messages Kilos | 08:28 |
| Kilos | not mixed man it means your work aint done | 08:28 |
| kbmonkey | it can't, mount failed - | 08:29 |
| Kilos | well you tell me what happened then | 08:29 |
| kbmonkey | probably because it mounted itself before you got a chanceto | 08:29 |
| kbmonkey | ;) | 08:29 |
| Kilos | oh earlier i also got the .deb file off the modem with xp and tried to install it here but it never said done | 08:30 |
| Kilos | tried with gdebi and software centre but they both kept going back to install button lit up | 08:30 |
| Kilos | betcha if i reboot its gone again | 08:31 |
| kbmonkey | don;t reboot! | 08:31 |
| kbmonkey | Kilos will have the computer with the most uptime ever ;) | 08:32 |
| Kilos | hahaha so you mean leave the battle for tomorrow morning | 08:32 |
| Kilos | i switch off at night because we never know what the power is gonna do | 08:32 |
| kbmonkey | I do not think reboot will break it | 08:33 |
| Kilos | so how do i mount the thing so i can get the files off it | 08:34 |
| kbmonkey | you said you copied the files from xp right? | 08:36 |
| kbmonkey | also you dont need the files after you installed | 08:36 |
| Kilos | the .deb ya | 08:36 |
| Kilos | it didnt complete the install | 08:36 |
| Kilos | supposed to say done | 08:36 |
| kbmonkey | yaaa that gui isn't very helpful./ | 08:37 |
| kbmonkey | install with "sudo dpkg -i the-file.deb" | 08:38 |
| Kilos | lemme try that | 08:39 |
| kbmonkey | and it will tell you if it already installed | 08:39 |
| kbmonkey | typing is so very slow on phone connection :( | 08:41 |
| Kilos | oooo yay | 08:47 |
| Kilos | sudo dpkg -i /home/3g_modem_connect_DTLWB_D310A_amd64.deb | 08:47 |
| Kilos | says installed | 08:47 |
| Kilos | after doing its bit | 08:47 |
| Kilos | ty kbmonkey | 08:47 |
| Kilos | i copied it to /home/ first | 08:48 |
| kbmonkey | oh that is good Kilos - I wonder why the gooey did not install it. anyway I hope it works now after reboot | 08:54 |
| Kilos | me too kbmonkey ty very muchness | 08:54 |
| Kilos | i need to remember dpkg -i | 08:55 |
| kbmonkey | the deb package manager, it is very useful | 08:56 |

| Kilos | i got that off the modem | 09:14 |
| Kilos | but that guy gives more info it things fail | 09:15 |

| Kilos | i go see | 09:38 |
| kbmonkey | hrumph. the info does not seem very helpful on this. | 09:40 |
| Kilos | no replies to it yet | 09:40 |
| kbmonkey | this modem model is around back to 2010 even. so it is not new, it should have config | 09:41 |
| kbmonkey | either the vendor changed the usb or it is a bug | 09:41 |
| Kilos | only with linux . works kiff in xp and 7 | 09:41 |
| kbmonkey | you get all the luck Kilos ;D | 09:42 |
| Kilos | yeah | 09:42 |
| Kilos | haha | 09:42 |
| Kilos | told you before murphy lives here | 09:42 |
| Kilos | always trying to force me to use windows | 09:43 |
| Kilos | but he got 2 chances and they both zero | 09:43 |
| kbmonkey | does it not even show the fake cdrom heyy? | 09:45 |
| Kilos | how would you see that | 09:45 |
| Kilos | xp shows it | 09:45 |
| Kilos | thats where i got the .deb file | 09:46 |
| kbmonkey | run 'df' | 09:46 |
| kbmonkey | itshows mounted disks and cdroms and usbs | 09:46 |
| kbmonkey | i.e. it shows in file manager | 09:47 |
| Kilos | http://slexy.org/view/s2ISfLzkrZ | 09:48 |
| Kilos | maybe i should try get the modem upgraded on xp | 09:48 |
| kbmonkey | this is from the usb modeswitch forum | 09:50 |
| kbmonkey | http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?p=4145 | 09:50 |
| Kilos | i been there | 09:50 |
| Kilos | thats where i started | 09:50 |
| Kilos | hehe | 09:50 |
| kbmonkey | oh okay lol :D | 09:51 |
| Kilos | scared to do some of that stuff | 09:51 |
| kbmonkey | you are steps ahead of me! | 09:52 |
| kbmonkey | your df does not show any /media or dlink cdroms. | 09:52 |
| Kilos | yeah | 09:52 |
| kbmonkey | I type and my words only send to irc like 1 minuteafter, lol | 09:52 |
| Kilos | i dunno why because the modem shows in lsusb | 09:53 |
| Kilos | wow bad lag | 09:53 |
| kbmonkey | lsusb only shows you what the computer ispluggedinto | 09:53 |
| Kilos | ok | 09:53 |
| Kilos | so if it shows there one should be able to find it | 09:54 |
| kbmonkey | check if the vendor and productcodesof your lsusb match those onthatforum | 09:54 |
| Kilos | ok | 09:54 |
| kbmonkey | sorry for the missing spaces, they seem | 09:54 |
| kbmonkey | they talk of different versions of that modem, and each have different product id's | 09:55 |
| Kilos | np | 09:55 |
| kbmonkey | maybe you just need to try another id? | 09:55 |
| Kilos | i dont see ids there | 09:55 |
| Kilos | oh ya | 09:56 |
| Kilos | can one do an upgrade with that link in there | 09:57 |
| Kilos | # Upgrades at ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/dwm_3G/DWM-156/ | 09:57 |
| Kilos | here is my id from lsusb | 10:00 |
| Kilos | ID 2001:7d01 | 10:00 |
| kbmonkey | let me check | 10:00 |
| Kilos | they show ID 2001:7d00 | 10:01 |
| kbmonkey | I see | 10:02 |
| Kilos | i can try the stuuf from lom near the bottom | 10:03 |
| Kilos | modprobes and so on | 10:03 |
| kbmonkey | okay using those, we can modify our modprobe command | 10:03 |
| kbmonkey | sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x2001 product=0x7d01 | 10:04 |
| Kilos | done | 10:05 |
| kbmonkey | sorry it is painful on this phone3g. I am going to mop the floors then I will get on the wifi and check up on you | 10:05 |

| kbmonkey | modem makers that only support windows. grrr | 10:06 |
| Kilos | yeah | 10:07 |
| Kilos | that echo command doesnt finish what its doing | 10:07 |
| kbmonkey | I spent lots of timeon modeswitch forums before | 10:07 |

| Kilos | maybe the new install sees the d-link | 11:37 |
| charl_ | strange | 11:45 |

| Kilos | i been trying lotsa stuff to get nm to see it | 11:46 |
| Kilos | installed lotsa stuff too | 11:47 |
| Kilos | it even connected on its own with no nm | 11:47 |
| Kilos | but reboot and its gone again | 11:47 |
| Kilos | reinstalling pidgin fixed it | 11:47 |
| charl_ | hmmmm ok | 11:49 |

| Kilos | nearly at the end | 15:58 |
| Kilos | post by bise | 15:59 |
| not_found | this is pretty sweet - http://www.eweek.com/pc-hardware/linux-intro-course-available-online-for-free.html | 16:00 |
| not_found | a $2400 course for free | 16:01 |
| not_found | without the ceritfication however | 16:01 |
| * not_found will be back | 16:02 | |
| kbmonkey | Kilos, the second part of that code I am familiar with, it sets up a udev rule to run the script on device connect. | 16:03 |
| kbmonkey | it seems alright to me, I think it may be worth a shot to try it, but... | 16:03 |
| kbmonkey | it relies on the fact that the first part, (echo 1C9E 9605...), works | 16:05 |
| Kilos | cool ty i will be back hopefully from the d-link | 16:05 |
| kbmonkey | I suggest you try that command by itself first: | 16:05 |
| kbmonkey | echo 1C9E 9605 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id | 16:05 |
| kbmonkey | (replacing your vendor and product) | 16:06 |
| kbmonkey | (with sudo) | 16:06 |
| Kilos | i gotta disconnect this old modem first though | 16:06 |
| kbmonkey | and if the modem is then seen by nm, you can do all those steps so it works after reboot | 16:06 |
| Kilos | ty will try it | 16:06 |
| Kilos | wbb | 16:07 |
| kbmonkey | cool | 16:07 |
| kbmonkey | did it work Kilos ? | 16:13 |
| Kilos | i am still by sudo su | 16:13 |
| Kilos | but it connected on its own again | 16:13 |
| Kilos | but not via nm | 16:13 |
| Kilos | must be that .deb off the modem i installed | 16:14 |
| Kilos | grrr | 16:14 |
| kbmonkey | does nm come with that ubuntu or did you have to install it? | 16:14 |
| Kilos | it comes as default | 16:14 |
| kbmonkey | o my | 16:14 |
| Kilos | now i gotta remove that thing we did dpkg on | 16:15 |
| kbmonkey | which modem connecct itself? the old one? | 16:15 |
| kbmonkey | this is confusing | 16:15 |
| Kilos | no the d-link | 16:16 |
| Kilos | old one on bed | 16:16 |
| kbmonkey | taking a nap lol | 16:16 |
| kbmonkey | so we are chatting through dlink now? | 16:16 |
| Kilos | ya | 16:16 |
| Kilos | weird | 16:16 |
| kbmonkey | oh... but then isn't it fixed? | 16:17 |
| Kilos | no nm dont see it and pidgin and evo dont get online | 16:17 |
| Kilos | they want nm connection | 16:18 |
| kbmonkey | mmm, that does not make sense. so weird! | 16:18 |
| Kilos | same as with sakis3g evo and pidgin dont work but irc does | 16:18 |
| Kilos | also the mobile partner does that | 16:19 |
| Kilos | (gedit:13631): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme file for DMZ-Black has no directories | 16:20 |
| Kilos | what does that mean | 16:20 |
| kbmonkey | its just a warning for gtk themes, dont worry the widgets will use the default theme | 16:21 |
| Kilos | ok | 16:21 |
| kbmonkey | the only thing I can think of is that pidgin, evo etc uses system network proxy settings | 16:21 |
| Kilos | i dunno because i set everything to no proxy | 16:22 |
| kbmonkey | maybe first look in settings for networking, and if a "proxy" or default connection is set | 16:22 |
| kbmonkey | oh, okay | 16:22 |
| kbmonkey | if you want to remove that .deb install, do... | 16:24 |
| Kilos | lemme finish this first | 16:25 |
| kbmonkey | sudo dpkg -r that-same-setup.deb | 16:25 |
| Kilos | ty | 16:25 |
| Kilos | gonna unplug it now and replug | 16:29 |
| Kilos | oh my | 16:48 |
| Kilos | couldnt boot with modem plugged in | 16:48 |
| kbmonkey | yup pc thinks its a bootable device. mine does that. sillly huh | 16:49 |
| Kilos | yeah but nm still dont see it | 16:49 |
| Kilos | grrrr | 16:49 |
| Kilos | maybe gotta remove the file first | 16:50 |
| Kilos | kbmonkey i gave you that dpkg command i used | 16:50 |
| Kilos | i cant find it here in scroll back | 16:51 |
| Kilos | i need to sort scroll back | 16:51 |
| Kilos | i can only go to [Sunday 09 March 2014] [17:30:56] | 16:52 |
| Kilos | grrr | 16:52 |
| Kilos | it used to be 1500 lines | 16:52 |
| kbmonkey | the install one? sudo dpkg -i <deb file> | 16:52 |
| kbmonkey | do you want the filename? | 16:52 |
| Kilos | no man i gave you the whole path | 16:53 |
| kbmonkey | let me grep the logs | 16:53 |
| Kilos | ty | 16:53 |
| kbmonkey | 10:47 < Kilos> sudo dpkg -i /home/3g_modem_connect_DTLWB_D310A_amd64.deb | 16:54 |
| kbmonkey | that one? | 16:54 |
| Kilos | ty my monkey | 16:54 |

| Kilos | wb not_found | 18:18 |
| not_found | thank you uncle Kilos | 18:18 |
| Kilos | hmm... Gustav H just lurking again | 18:22 |
| not_found | it is the nature of the IRC to lie in wait until needed (or being in need :p) | 18:23 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:23 |
| kbmonkey | what happened Kilos ? | 18:23 |
| Kilos | it just hangs my ubuntu if i plug it in now | 18:23 |
| inetpro | UH | 18:23 |
| Kilos | that dpkg command didnt work, just hung terminals | 18:24 |
| * inetpro stretches itself | 18:24 | |
| inetpro | good mornings! | 18:24 |
| Kilos | hi inetpro | 18:24 |
| Kilos | daai modem baie sleg | 18:24 |
| Golynx | wb not_found | 18:25 |
| Golynx | hi inetpro | 18:25 |
| inetpro | ai! | 18:25 |
| kbmonkey | bad modem. bad bad bad. go sit in the corner. | 18:25 |
| not_found | o/ Golynx and init 6 pro :p | 18:25 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:25 |
| inetpro | Kilos: don't say I didn't warn you | 18:25 |
| Kilos | the bugs will be fixed in 14.04 | 18:26 |
| * inetpro hates memory stick type modems, never had a good experience | 18:26 | |
| not_found | +1 | 18:26 |
| inetpro | they are inflexible to start with | 18:27 |
| Kilos | i find working with them interesting, but time consuming and frustrating | 18:27 |
| Kilos | its only since they started with that cdthing | 18:27 |
| not_found | interesting and frustrating... interesting mix | 18:27 |
| inetpro | can't exactly move your laptop/computer with the stick to the best point of reception | 18:27 |
| Kilos | i will visit the gsm guys soon i think | 18:27 |
| Kilos | so what do you use in the lappy them inetpro ? | 18:28 |
| Kilos | then | 18:28 |
| inetpro | a better solution is an Android phone with hotspot enabled | 18:28 |
| Kilos | eish thats big bucks | 18:29 |
| inetpro | but the best is a decent router type modem | 18:29 |
| Kilos | modem was over 2 months data already\ | 18:29 |
| Kilos | oh i havent tried it in the router yet | 18:29 |
| Kilos | ty for that | 18:29 |
| inetpro | yea, try that | 18:29 |
| Kilos | also i had one modem before if i remember right that also didnt work till i put it in a bridge | 18:30 |
| Kilos | but first gotta get rid of my corrupt 12.04 | 18:30 |
| Kilos | grrr | 18:30 |
| Kilos | i hate adding scripts | 18:31 |
| Kilos | they kill things | 18:31 |
| not_found | since introducing the family and friends in SA on how to use their android devices as hotspots life has become much easier :p | 18:31 |
| kbmonkey | I am on via my tethered android hotspot. the gsm signal is so bad I keep dropping :/ | 18:31 |
| kbmonkey | from one problem to the next, heh | 18:32 |
| inetpro | the next best solution is a router type modem with an external high gain antenna | 18:33 |
| kbmonkey | Im off to read a book before it disconnects me again | 18:33 |
| not_found | k bai | 18:33 |
| Kilos | toods kbmonkey | 18:33 |
| kbmonkey | moving across the city soon, I'll be in a better recpetion area | 18:33 |
| kbmonkey | :D | 18:34 |
| Kilos | havva good one | 18:34 |
| inetpro | the bad thing about Android tethering is that it eats a lot of battery | 18:34 |
| Kilos | lets hope so hey | 18:34 |
| Kilos | no man modems must work | 18:34 |
| Kilos | they work on windows | 18:34 |
| inetpro | Kilos: they don't | 18:34 |
| kbmonkey | busy with the 5 book Hitchikers Guide trilogy ;P | 18:34 |
| Kilos | no good always finding workarounds | 18:34 |
| inetpro | trust me, we have a lot of complaints at the office | 18:35 |
| Kilos | we just need to be able to format that cd thing inetpro | 18:35 |
| inetpro | not necessary | 18:35 |
| Kilos | ive tried it here on xp and 7 and no hassles | 18:35 |
| inetpro | if you have the correct drivers everything should just work | 18:35 |
| Kilos | ya but the d-link i have has a few bug reports at launchpad | 18:36 |
| inetpro | linux is not bothered with the cd thing | 18:36 |
| Kilos | and the fixes mess up your pc | 18:36 |
| inetpro | with the correct driver it's just disabled | 18:37 |
| inetpro | you don't ever need to read it | 18:37 |
| Kilos | well then why arent there links on how to do it | 18:37 |
| Kilos | by hook or by crook i will get it sorted | 18:38 |
| Kilos | not wasting that money | 18:38 |
| inetpro | what exactly is the model of your new modem? | 18:39 |
| Kilos | and its 2 years old already and i cant find a firmware upgrade from them | 18:39 |
| inetpro | wb psydroid | 18:39 |
| Kilos | grrr | 18:39 |
| Kilos | dwm-156 i think | 18:39 |
| inetpro | i think? | 18:39 |
| inetpro | lsusb | 18:39 |
| Kilos | its not in now man | 18:40 |
| Kilos | hangs pc | 18:40 |
| not_found | then it seems there is other issues too | 18:40 |
| Kilos | scroll back and you will see it | 18:40 |
| Kilos | hehe | 18:40 |
| not_found | modem shouldn't hang your system when you plug it in ?! | 18:40 |
| Kilos | too many scripts tried i think not_found | 18:41 |
| not_found | sometimes undoing the damage is the hard part :p | 18:41 |
| inetpro | ai! | 18:41 |
| inetpro | take it back | 18:41 |
| Kilos | and i installed the .deb file off the modem too | 18:41 |
| Kilos | take it back and what inetpro ? | 18:42 |
| Kilos | they know less than me | 18:42 |
| inetpro | tell them you want something that works | 18:42 |
| Kilos | it works on windows | 18:43 |
| Kilos | thats how they will test it | 18:43 |
| psydroid | ty inetpro | 18:43 |
| psydroid | hi Kilos | 18:43 |
| inetpro | tell them they must give you a free licensed version of windows in that case | 18:43 |
| psydroid | hi not_found | 18:43 |
| Kilos | i will mail d-link and if no satisfaction will mail their ceo | 18:43 |
| Kilos | hi psydroid | 18:43 |
| Kilos | hahaha inetpro | 18:44 |
| Kilos | i dont wanna start that | 18:44 |
| Kilos | i have a xp OEM cd | 18:44 |
| inetpro | ahh... it will probably work on 32bit | 18:45 |
| inetpro | have you tried? | 18:45 |
| Kilos | ive even install that i386 stuff here | 18:45 |
| Kilos | i dont have 32 bit going anymore | 18:45 |
| inetpro | sorry I haven't scrolled back ... too much to read | 18:46 |
| Kilos | yeah | 18:46 |
| Kilos | you know the packages that let 64bit use 32bit files | 18:46 |
| Kilos | i have them | 18:46 |
| inetpro | do you have ia32-libs installed? | 18:46 |
| Kilos | ya 60m of stuff installed | 18:47 |
| Kilos | many libs | 18:47 |
| inetpro | hmm... | 18:47 |
| Kilos | but putting it in the router is the way i think | 18:48 |
| Kilos | if the router sees it | 18:48 |
| Kilos | most likely not supported yet | 18:48 |
| not_found | I hate it when I read something like http://alsa.opensrc.org/Jack_and_Loopback_device_as_Alsa-to-Jack_bridge and my eyes start to glaze over | 18:49 |
| Kilos | hard work reading for old peeps | 18:51 |
| Kilos | thats why i battle with reading instructions on sites | 18:52 |
| not_found | oh reading is easy, understaning it however >.< | 18:53 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:54 |
| not_found | and I asked a few questions on #jack and I got really well owned by a user there... | 18:54 |
| not_found | he is one of those that answers your question exactly >.< | 18:54 |
| Kilos | DWM-156 ya inetpro | 18:54 |
| Kilos | well owned? | 18:55 |
| not_found | and I know if I ask more specific questions I will be getting some rtfm type answers too :/ | 18:55 |
| inetpro | Kilos: you must find the /dev/sr? that is added after you plug in the modem | 18:55 |
| Kilos | it refuses to work | 18:55 |
| inetpro | ls -la /dev/sr* | 18:55 |
| Kilos | have done mount /dev/sr tab tab | 18:55 |
| inetpro | /dev/sr0 will be there without the modem plugged in | 18:56 |
| Kilos | shows as sr0 but no cammands work with it | 18:56 |
| Kilos | says no such thing | 18:56 |
| not_found | http://slexy.org/view/s21omSofjj | 18:56 |
| inetpro | when you plug in the modem it will probably have /dev/sr1 or /dev/sr2 | 18:56 |
| Kilos | ok ill plug it in here with this one and see what happens | 18:57 |
| inetpro | those instructions at lawrencematthew.wordpress.com seem quite clear | 18:59 |
| Kilos | grrr | 19:09 |
| Golynx | wb Kilos | 19:09 |
| Kilos | ty | 19:09 |
| Kilos | stupid modem | 19:10 |
| inetpro | Kilos: have you rebooted yet? | 19:11 |
| Golynx | I made a quick little game called Ubuza lol | 19:11 |
| Kilos | yip it takes forever | 19:11 |
| Golynx | maybe it will help a little http://jarrydx86.byethost22.com/ubuza/ | 19:11 |
| Kilos | the d-link disconnected me then the e220 wouldnt work so 3 reboots later im back | 19:11 |
| Kilos | grrrr | 19:12 |
| inetpro | ai! | 19:12 |
| * inetpro started reading parts of the scrollback | 19:13 | |
| * Kilos needs a clean install to get rid of all the scripts and stuff installed for the thing | 19:13 | |
| Kilos | dont worry inetpro everything seems corrupted here | 19:13 |
| Golynx | what do you think of the ubuntu-za game ? http://jarrydx86.byethost22.com/ubuza/ | 19:13 |
| inetpro | I guess starting on a clean slate can't hurt | 19:13 |
| Kilos | like terminals hung | 19:13 |
| Golynx | hmm wrong time for such things | 19:14 |
| Kilos | have to forcequit them etc etc etc | 19:14 |
| inetpro | sorry Golynx | 19:14 |
| * inetpro just ignores Golynx | 19:14 | |
| Kilos | hehe | 19:14 |
| Golynx | inetpro its fine nevermind | 19:15 |
| inetpro | :-) | 19:15 |
| Kilos | rahter late to start reinstalling now methinks | 19:15 |
