| pvl1 | morning | 16:30 |
| lazyPower | o/ everyone | 16:37 |
| JonathanD | hi | 16:38 |
| pvl1 | how are you lazyPower | 16:40 |
| lazyPower | I'm doing well. Gearing up for a sprint in DC next week and a presentation at CMU on Friday | 16:40 |
| lazyPower | next week is going to be busy | 16:41 |
| lazyPower | How about you pvl1? | 16:41 |
| pvl1 | oi im sick | 16:48 |
| pvl1 | caught the current filly plauge | 16:48 |
| pvl1 | (spelling?) | 16:48 |
| InHisName | Hey I just got something from FreedomPop it is WiFi/WiMAX with a USB cable. Is there a way to hook the USB to Ubuntu and see if I can access the internet via that dongle ? If I could make an active connection via ifconfig, that would offer a bunch of possibilities. | 18:25 |
| pvl1 | should work InHisName | 18:28 |
| InHisName | I'm ready to implement commands. Just don't know what to activate so I can see "ifconfig usb0" | 18:29 |
| pvl1 | ah | 18:31 |
| pvl1 | well first and foremost | 18:31 |
| pvl1 | what does dmesg | tail give you | 18:31 |
| InHisName | one web site uses terms like "gadget USB" to install. Not real interested in adding software if I can help it. | 18:32 |
| pvl1 | i doubt you need to | 18:32 |
| pvl1 | as long as the kernel recognizes the module | 18:32 |
| pvl1 | you would just need to adjust your /etc/network/interfaces file | 18:32 |
| InHisName | OK, I'll go try some stuff and be back in a bit. | 18:33 |
| InHisName | found USB using uhci_HCD { or similar} | 18:35 |
| InHisName | was in dmesg | 18:35 |
| pvl1 | sounds like it recognized it | 18:37 |
| pvl1 | lsusb | 18:37 |
| InHisName | lsusb <-- command not found. (is old linux on old laptop) | 18:39 |
| pvl1 | ah | 18:39 |
| pvl1 | well | 18:39 |
| pvl1 | lets give it a shot | 18:39 |
| InHisName | bang | 18:39 |
| pvl1 | sudo ifconfig usb0 up && sudo dhclient -v usb0 | 18:39 |
| InHisName | ok, off to try | 18:40 |
| InHisName | Grrr, can't remember the pwd for sudo/root | 18:49 |
| pvl1 | boot up in recovery | 18:52 |
| InHisName | And then ? | 18:52 |
| InHisName | don't I still need root pwd ? | 18:53 |
| jedijf | InHisName: Append init=/bin/bash at the end of line in grub | 18:55 |
| pvl1 | jedijf: wow i would have never thought of that | 18:56 |
| jedijf | then change passwd and try to remember it | 18:56 |
| InHisName | Booting up in PCLinuxOS failsafe | 19:07 |
| InHisName | last 2 lines show: ACPI: PCI INterrupt: setups. then seems to hang there. | 19:08 |
| jedijf | hah, i should have read backlog ....tail -f /var/log/syslog is your friend....when booted - then plug in usb device and watch | 19:15 |
| jedijf | your answers will be revealed...or not...which is an answer | 19:16 |
| InHisName | Now can't boot at all with any of the three partitions. WinXP, Ubuntu 9.x, PCLinuxOS all start for a few seconds then hang and make NO more progress at booting up. Uggghhhh ! | 19:54 |
| InHisName | I unplugged the USB dongle thingy and tried all three again. NO change. Fooey | 19:55 |
| pvl1 | how far does boot process get | 19:57 |
| InHisName | 2 to 5 seconds into it. Windows XP three swipes with blue thing, then runs off and no more. | 19:59 |
| pvl1 | so grub is working yes | 19:59 |
| InHisName | PCLinuxOS has graphic similar to winxp with moving bauble. No bauble even starts on that one. | 20:00 |
| pvl1 | InHisName: try to custom boot pclinuxos, and take away quiet splash | 20:00 |
| InHisName | Yes grub works and starts the partition for a few seconds. Then it freezes. | 20:00 |
| InHisName | Ok, off to try | 20:01 |
| InHisName | got 17 minuts left till sch bus comes. Then done til 9pm | 20:01 |
| InHisName | PCLinuxOS with splash off, hangs right after the same 2 lines that Ubuntu shows and hangs at. | 20:05 |
| pvl1 | jeez what did you do | 20:05 |
| InHisName | Both OSes --- > last 2 lines show: ACPI: PCI INterrupt: setups. then seems to hang there. | 20:05 |
| InHisName | Don't know. | 20:06 |
| pvl1 | at this point, i would reset bios settings, and pull battery. press and hold power button. let everything flush out | 20:06 |
| InHisName | I may have allterd som things in pclinusos, but how to affect 2 other partitions that used to boot in 2010. | 20:07 |
| pvl1 | what did you change in grub | 20:08 |
| InHisName | Bios battery is dead, now. I'm running with default. PCLinuxOS did come up 3X with the dead bios battery this year. | 20:09 |
| InHisName | Aren't the grub changes temporary for ONE boot normally ? | 20:10 |
| pvl1 | not that i think so | 20:11 |
| InHisName | the /init=/bin/bash that I added once , was gone next time I booted and checked. It was back to original. | 20:12 |
| InHisName | b bak at 9 | 20:21 |
| jedijf | es those changes are temporary - only permanent with a menu.lst or /etc/default/grub(grub2) edit and then a sudo update-grub | 20:52 |
| jedijf | yes those changes...^ | 20:52 |
| jedijf | so if you get it right, make it right, permanently, or at least for the next 4 years | 20:53 |
| jedijf | InHisName: wrong date is the fail - that's the boot fail if cmos is dead - go to bios set right, or close date, save changes, reboot - it should boot like 2010 | 20:54 |
| jedijf | in my experience | 20:54 |
| jedijf | order cmos battery | 20:55 |
