| Bilz | does anyone have any experience getting ctrl + down arrow/up arrow to mimic fn + up arrow/down arrow to get pg up / pg dwn | 12:21 |
| daftykins | why press one non-standard thing when you can press the right thing? | 17:21 |
| penguin42 | you do keyboards with particularly annoying layouts or maybe you want to do it with one hand | 17:32 |
| dogmatic69 | so, looks like the wifi card I got does not work out the box :( | 20:21 |
| penguin42 | what is it? | 20:22 |
| dogmatic69 | is there something I can use to see what PCI devices are connected / discovered? | 20:22 |
| dogmatic69 | I got this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00TZJYRF6 | 20:22 |
| penguin42 | dogmatic69: lspci | 20:23 |
| dogmatic69 | does not look like its in there | 20:23 |
| dogmatic69 | https://gist.github.com/dogmatic69/ebc43b6c978e32984189c6ac04b82964 | 20:24 |
| penguin42 | it would be very odd for it not to show at all | 20:24 |
| dogmatic69 | maybe something disabled in the bios. let me go check, ill brb | 20:25 |
| daftykins | eww desktop wifi :| | 20:34 |
| daftykins | dogmatic69: keep juggling it around in the slots until it is seen in lspci output, doesn't even matter if you try a non-1x slot | 20:36 |
| dogmatic69 | man, the card does not fit correctly.... | 20:47 |
| dogmatic69 | daftykins: im hoping the wifi card will be better than eth over power which is limited to 40mb/s on mine | 20:47 |
| daftykins | cables are nice :) | 20:48 |
| dogmatic69 | got it detected now, I will continue with the guide | 20:48 |
| daftykins | it's not some shifty blog is it... | 20:48 |
| dogmatic69 | yes, but right now I cant be arsed to run cables as im in a temporary location | 20:49 |
| dogmatic69 | Stack overflow... | 20:49 |
| daftykins | maybe you should link it before you start XD | 20:49 |
| dogmatic69 | or ask ubuntu even. http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers | 20:49 |
| dogmatic69 | seems like the right one ;) | 20:49 |
| daftykins | should just be in the additional drivers prog then ja | 20:50 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: I agree; I like to be able to see where my packets are going | 20:51 |
| dogmatic69 | and I have wifi showing \o/ | 20:52 |
| dogmatic69 | all I done was install bcmwl-kernel-source | 20:52 |
| daftykins | now for the inevitable dropping and DHCP woes and such with broadcom on Linux :> | 20:53 |
| dogmatic69 | cant see the 5g network though.... | 20:53 |
| daftykins | no the driver likely doesn't include a 5GHz portion on Linux | 20:53 |
| daftykins | or at least, not that one | 20:53 |
| dogmatic69 | lame | 20:57 |
| daftykins | you can still try the other ones | 21:02 |
| dogmatic69 | well that was completly lame | 21:04 |
| daftykins | hrmm? | 21:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | so much for a quick change of internet provider... :-P | 22:26 |
| daftykins | o0 | 22:26 |
| zmoylan-pi | changed my wifi extender from old ap to new ap. web works but my pi refused to join the network even though it's linked via cat 5 cable to my extender... | 22:29 |
| zmoylan-pi | had to dig out my scart monitor and all my adapter dohickeys to connect the pi to it | 22:30 |
| daftykins | ;) | 22:31 |
| zmoylan-pi | used the opportunity to try and use my new adapter to connect my pi2 to it but no joy... | 22:31 |
| daftykins | oh you meant IRC with 'join the network' ? | 22:33 |
| zmoylan-pi | but i think i know why it didn't work now and can try it again tomorrow... a bigger faster pi will be mine... oh yes... :-) | 22:33 |
| daftykins | i wonder if a new one will come with a new graphics core at long last, capable of H.265 decode | 22:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | no, the pi refused to connect to ap in any discernable way | 22:34 |
| daftykins | ah, wifi channel perhaps | 22:34 |
| daftykins | except you seem to have said wired but i can't tell :> | 22:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | but of course once i connected the monitor and convinced it to work it worked perfectly | 22:34 |
| daftykins | as is tradition! | 22:35 |
| daftykins | it just wanted you to work for it | 22:35 |
| zmoylan-pi | well i had to step around my fubar and hammer storage so it was taking a big big risk | 22:35 |
| zmoylan-pi | not impressed with virginmedia... very laggy | 22:54 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: It's very location dependent; the latency here has been wonderful on them, but it varies sometimes | 22:55 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: It certainly suffers from evening latency issues | 22:56 |
| daftykins | and student season from my memories of it :D | 23:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | all those kids running napster... | 23:25 |
| daftykins | one told me about slipping the installer some cash to have your 'modem' back in the day MAC cloned with someone on the top service | 23:26 |
| daftykins | that'd do horrible things to the network i'm sure | 23:27 |
| * zmoylan-pi remembers the fun when our small business server kept giving people the same ip address | 23:28 | |
| zmoylan-pi | no internet for you you you or you | 23:29 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: I once gave my old DSL router to someone and then spent a few days wondering wth I was having random drop outs.... | 23:30 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: He was on a different exchange about 15 miles away but it was still giving him my static IP even though I thought I'd reset it | 23:30 |
| daftykins | o0 | 23:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | probably just the ip the government was tracking you at... :-P | 23:35 |
| diddledan | *want* http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Arcade-Machine-2-Player-Bar-Top-Stand-Flat-Pack-Kit-Raspberry-Pi-Mame/142242269234 | 23:36 |
| zmoylan-pi | that's a big case for a pi!! :-D | 23:37 |
| daftykins | sounds like 2017 has gained its' first break-up between drunks in my lane | 23:38 |
| zmoylan-pi | but a case like that would be a fantastic place to store a lot of storage for drives, dvd, cd collections... | 23:38 |
| diddledan | \o/ | 23:38 |
| diddledan | daftykins: you probably broke their HDD and they blamed each other rather than you | 23:38 |
| daftykins | :D | 23:39 |
| daftykins | must have had an external in her purse to give to the DJ down the club | 23:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | ...but they're not waiting till 0100... it can't be true love | 23:39 |
| diddledan | isn't it supposed to midnight that the woman turns into a pumpkin? | 23:40 |
| diddledan | to be* | 23:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | no no, with booze the guy starts out looking like a pumpkin but looks more like a swede the more booze drunk... :-P | 23:41 |
| daftykins | a friend of mine broke the clip on a horrible old netbook a few years back doing a screen replacement - i continue to rub it in: http://i.imgur.com/UOiaGeI.png | 23:59 |
