[07:56] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[12:21] <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
[17:21] <daftykins> why press one non-standard thing when you can press the right thing?
[17:32] <penguin42> you do keyboards with particularly annoying layouts or maybe you want to do it with one hand
[20:21] <dogmatic69> so, looks like the wifi card I got does not work out the box :(
[20:22] <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
[20:23] <penguin42> dogmatic69: lspci
[20:23] <dogmatic69> does not look like its in there
[20:24] <dogmatic69> https://gist.github.com/dogmatic69/ebc43b6c978e32984189c6ac04b82964
[20:24] <penguin42> it would be very odd for it not to show at all
[20:25] <dogmatic69> maybe something disabled in the bios. let me go check, ill brb
[20:34] <daftykins> eww desktop wifi :|
[20:36] <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
[20:47] <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
[20:48] <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...
[20:49] <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 ;)
[20:50] <daftykins> should just be in the additional drivers prog then ja
[20:51] <penguin42> daftykins: I agree; I like to be able to see where my packets are going
[20:52] <dogmatic69> and I have wifi showing \o/
[20:52] <dogmatic69> all I done was install bcmwl-kernel-source
[20:53] <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
[20:57] <dogmatic69> lame
[21:02] <daftykins> you can still try the other ones
[21:04] <dogmatic69> well that was completly lame
[21:05] <daftykins> hrmm?
[22:26] <zmoylan-pi> so much for a quick change of internet provider... :-P
[22:26] <daftykins> o0
[22:29] <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...
[22:30] <zmoylan-pi> had to dig out my scart monitor and all my adapter dohickeys to connect the pi to it
[22:31] <daftykins> ;)
[22:31] <zmoylan-pi> used the opportunity to try and use my new adapter to connect my pi2 to it but no joy...
[22:33] <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... :-)
[22:34] <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
[22:35] <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
[22:54] <zmoylan-pi> not impressed with virginmedia... very laggy
[22:55] <penguin42> zmoylan-pi: It's very location dependent; the latency here has been wonderful on them, but it varies sometimes
[22:56] <penguin42> zmoylan-pi: It certainly suffers from evening latency issues
[23:24] <daftykins> and student season from my memories of it :D
[23:25] <zmoylan-pi> all those kids running napster...
[23:26] <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
[23:27] <daftykins> that'd do horrible things to the network i'm sure
[23:28]  * zmoylan-pi remembers the fun when our small business server kept giving people the same ip address
[23:29] <zmoylan-pi> no internet for you you you or you
[23:30] <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
[23:34] <daftykins> o0
[23:35] <zmoylan-pi> probably just the ip the government was tracking you at... :-P
[23:36] <diddledan> *want* http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Arcade-Machine-2-Player-Bar-Top-Stand-Flat-Pack-Kit-Raspberry-Pi-Mame/142242269234
[23:37] <zmoylan-pi> that's a big case for a pi!! :-D
[23:38] <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
[23:39] <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
[23:40] <diddledan> isn't it supposed to midnight that the woman turns into a pumpkin?
[23:40] <diddledan> to be*
[23:41] <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
[23:59] <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
