[09:40] no replies to it yet [09:41] this modem model is around back to 2010 even. so it is not new, it should have config [09:41] either the vendor changed the usb or it is a bug [09:41] only with linux . works kiff in xp and 7 [09:42] you get all the luck Kilos ;D [09:42] yeah [09:42] haha [09:42] told you before murphy lives here [09:43] always trying to force me to use windows [09:43] but he got 2 chances and they both zero [09:45] does it not even show the fake cdrom heyy? [09:45] how would you see that [09:45] xp shows it [09:46] thats where i got the .deb file [09:46] run 'df' [09:46] itshows mounted disks and cdroms and usbs [09:47] i.e. it shows in file manager [09:48] http://slexy.org/view/s2ISfLzkrZ [09:48] maybe i should try get the modem upgraded on xp [09:50] this is from the usb modeswitch forum [09:50] http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?p=4145 [09:50] i been there [09:50] thats where i started [09:50] hehe [09:51] oh okay lol :D [09:51] scared to do some of that stuff [09:52] you are steps ahead of me!

[15:32] love to do that [15:32] ssh is fun [15:33] the power in what can be done with a little knowledge is mind blowing [15:33] *mind-blown* pop [15:33] using tmux you can just detach and resume later [15:34] keep session, irc, etc [15:34] kbmonkey, tmux++ :D [15:34] * not_found is on XP without admin so just doing what I currently am able to is way awesome [15:34] sjoe [15:34] putty ? [15:35] not_found, xming? [15:35] yes, running putty and I also have xming if needed [15:36] portable apps ftfw [15:36] got cygwin at work, I use that for ssh. I use it for work too, lol. [15:38] I have a shell account I ssh into, runs my irc session :D [15:38] actually have a look at x2go [15:38] x2go? [15:39] looks [15:39] ah ok... I could do that but I really don't need IRC 24/7 in such a manner... I am currently not even using the ssh for the IRC session, I have a chrome app called Byrd that works just fine [15:40] mostly for unstable connections not_found - I can reconnect and carry on. [15:40] ah true, SA internet and all [15:41] I see that Titanfall the game has been abondoned in South Africa as the server lag is too much :/ [15:41] so they just pull the whole game from the country >.< [15:47] okay I see, x2go is a bunch of bash and perl scripts that wrap ssh port forwarding [15:47] clever [15:54] seems there is much more fun still to be had with ssh [15:57] kbmonkey please look here [15:58] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1969322&page=7&p=12132847#post12132847 [15:58] do i just do everything in the bottom block [15:58] awight... [15:58] just put my modem id from lsusb in [15:58] I will looksey [15:58] nearly at the end [15:59] post by bise [16:00] this is pretty sweet - http://www.eweek.com/pc-hardware/linux-intro-course-available-online-for-free.html [16:01] a $2400 course for free [16:01] without the ceritfication however [16:02] * not_found will be back [16:03] 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] it seems alright to me, I think it may be worth a shot to try it, but... [16:05] it relies on the fact that the first part, (echo 1C9E 9605...), works [16:05] cool ty i will be back hopefully from the d-link [16:05] I suggest you try that command by itself first: [16:05] echo 1C9E 9605 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id [16:06] (replacing your vendor and product) [16:06] (with sudo) [16:06] i gotta disconnect this old modem first though [16:06] and if the modem is then seen by nm, you can do all those steps so it works after reboot [16:06] ty will try it [16:07] wbb [16:07] cool [16:13] did it work Kilos ? [16:13] i am still by sudo su [16:13] but it connected on its own again [16:13] but not via nm [16:14] must be that .deb off the modem i installed [16:14] grrr [16:14] does nm come with that ubuntu or did you have to install it? [16:14] it comes as default [16:14] o my [16:15] now i gotta remove that thing we did dpkg on [16:15] which modem connecct itself? the old one? [16:15] this is confusing [16:16] no the d-link [16:16] old one on bed [16:16] taking a nap lol [16:16] so we are chatting through dlink now? [16:16] ya [16:16] weird [16:17] oh... but then isn't it fixed? [16:17] no nm dont see it and pidgin and evo dont get online [16:18] they want nm connection [16:18] mmm, that does not make sense. so weird! [16:18] same as with sakis3g evo and pidgin dont work but irc does [16:19] also the mobile partner does that [16:20] (gedit:13631): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme file for DMZ-Black has no directories [16:20] what does that mean [16:21] its just a warning for gtk themes, dont worry the widgets will use the default theme [16:21] ok [16:21] the only thing I can think of is that pidgin, evo etc uses system network proxy settings [16:22] i dunno because i set everything to no proxy [16:22] maybe first look in settings for networking, and if a "proxy" or default connection is set [16:22] oh, okay [16:24] if you want to remove that .deb install, do... [16:25] lemme finish this first [16:25] sudo dpkg -r that-same-setup.deb [16:25] ty [16:29] gonna unplug it now and replug [16:48] oh my [16:48]
