Comments:
<0> its an old habbit i will try to stop
<1> obbit
<1> bobbit
<2> HELP. I had to do a reinstall and when i did udev updated now i cant boot
<2> how can i downgrade it?
<1> !**** udev
<3> !mhallsmite udev
<2> !**** udev
<3> odd it replies to /msges
<2> seriosly help
<4> someone said the !**** stuff had been removed.
<5> udev is great.
<3> Craigevil: stable, testing, unstable?
<2> sid
<5> ... when it works.
<3> Craigevil: there you go
<2> yeah i know
<6> loather: udev does not work here
<0> so can some one help me with my i915 card ...it stoped working no 3d acceleration
<2> how can i fix it if i cant boot
<3> Craigevil: boot from the installer
<7> redphoenix1, gma950?
<0> yea
<2> yeah then what?
<0> Erudified, yea
<8> mentor: iwconfig wifi0 mode "Monitor" - tried this and any other mode, but then i cannot set ESSID for the device. so how and where i configure then? and use iwconfig for this?
<3> Craigevil: if you have to ask how to fix something if you can't boot, you are not qualified to use sid.
<7> redphoenix1, what did you do to make it stop working? dist-upgrade or something?
<2> i can fix most things just freaking help
<5> Plater: change it to Managed
<3> Craigevil: try testing. if that doesn't work, then ask.
<2> thanks for not helping
<0> Erudified, i did nothing it just stoped working and when i did xglinfo it said no 3d acceleration but then someone told me to compile it myself and now it only works with vesa driver
<8> loather: done. but then how i connect wifi0 to my AP ESSID?
<8> I dont see how to config this with iwconfig
<9> Plater: STA/Managed/Client mode.
<7> redphoenix1, which distribution of debian are you using?
<0> Erudified, sid
<9> Plater: I don't know the exact sequence of commands. Try man iwconfig
<0> Erudified, i had to get the binary snapshot to get it to work
<3> if i had a dime for each idiot who uses sid without being qualified to do so...
<8> mentor: i did. not long manual.
<3> !unstable
<10> i heard unstable is the status of a Debian release when packages can be added to the system at any time that might disrupt the integrity of the whole system! Ask me about <break>. not supported here, in general. It's also newspeak for not stable. If you have to ask whether you should use it or how, you shouldn't. apt-get install apt-listbugs (!) See testing. see sid. see sid faq.
<5> Plater: set the essid and key with iwconfig also.
<7> no need to call people idiots =(
<5> Plater: it helps to set the AP to open auth, no encryption to start
<8> loather: ok. but those not show up in iwconfig?
<0> SerajewelKS, i have to use sid i am on an intel mac mini and it did not seem to want to boot with an older kernel
<9> Plater: /usr/share/doc/wireless-tools
<8> AP is open, no encrypt
<3> redphoenix1: you can backport the kernel
<9> Plater: I don't know any more than this.
<8> mentor: ok. ill read and hope loather knows also a bit, so we can get this solved. thanks!
<3> redphoenix1: at least in theory. anyway, my comment was not directly at you specifically.
<8> loather: if I do iwconfig wifi0 essid "MYID"
<8> then after i do: iwconfig
<8> where can i see if essid is changed?
<8> i dont see it anywhere
<5> hold on a moment, let me boot my laptop.
<0> SerajewelKS, i also wanted to try xgl as its the reason i would install linux so early on an intel mac otherwise i would have waited untill a distro supported it
<3> redphoenix1: ah. i've tried it with a boot cd. it's okay, but something i can live without for the time being. not that it wouldn't be cool as hell ;)
<11> Plater you might also consider using wpa-supplicant
<8> loather: ok.
<8> wpa-supplicant?
<7> redphoenix1, i havent tried using an intel mac, but you might have to specify the device ID in your X config file
<8> i have tried hostap, wlan-ng drivers
<8> and have wireless manager installed
<0> Erudified, i did :)
<7> ah =)
<8> should normally do the trick they told me
<5> Plater: try iwconfig $device commit
<11> Plater: it's used to authenticate to WPA or WEP or open access points, it doesn't not replace drivers for your wireless card
<12> I've always wondered one thing about the debian release cycle. When etch is declared the new stable distribution, will the testing and stable branches be the same for a while?
<8> but unfortunately for me
<5> wpa_supplicant still doesn't work with a lot of drivers
<5> wpa on linux is ****.
<13> marco13185: probably not for long
<7> loather, as well as cd burning =(
<7> What I do, is run testing, get it where I want it, and leave it there till it's stabe
<13> marco13185: there will be a lot of stuff that's been stewing in unstable while testing was frozen, and that will all hit testing with a big wet sound
<8> loather: now reading iwconfig: wifi0 -> IEEE 802.11-DS Mode: Managed Encryption key:off
<0> so i am guessing i wont get any support for the problem i have since i am using sid?
<11> loather what kind of card does he have?
<14> If I set only console users can start X when i isntalled x, will that make xdm not work?
<8> Senao SL-2511CD PLUS
<3> redphoenix1: more likely because nobody knows the answer
<11> Plater what kind of chipset?
<8> prims 2.5
<8> prism*
<3> charzero: it shouldn't affect xdm
<5> Erudified: i've never had issues burning CDs.
<11> that shouldn't be bad at all
<14> SerajewelKS: if i /etc/init.d/xdm start, it should start xdm on vt7, right?
<8> bws: exactly, so i have no idea. i must be doing something wrong! (probably something very stupid) ;)
<8> loather: now reading iwconfig: wifi0 -> IEEE 802.11-DS Mode: Managed Encryption key:off
<3> charzero: sure, if your X configuration isn't screwed
<8> so I do not reading my ESSID setting
<11> Plater aren't there even modules in the kernel to support that chipset?
<5> Plater: you should have something like: http://pastebin.com/742191 as output from iwconfig.
<14> SerajewelKS: I can 'startx' just fine. /etc/init.d/xdm doesn't do anything. no xdm process. no X process. no logs.
<15> hi all
<3> charzero: try running xdm directly?
<15> how can i add a default path to search apps for?
<1> it's 2112 baybee
<15> as like /usr/bin
<8> loather: not even close to that. i wrote you all i see when doing iwconfig wifi0
<8> ifconfig wifi0 gives more info like yours
<14> SerajewelKS: kdm works fine. i'll just use that.
<8> bws: yes, modules are hostap, orinoco, wlan-ng etc
<3> charzero: ok
<5> Plater: what version of wireless-tools do you have?
<8> loather: i see what you mean. on desktop system i get same iwconfig results as you
<8> loather: how i check version?
<5> iwconfig --version
<8> Wireless-Tools version 27
<16> .
<8> kernel: currently compiled with wireless extension v19
<16> someone know how can I delete my icewm and return to my knoppix desktop?
<8> wifi0: same
<16> I mean, how can I change my windows manager?
<17> zenetio: this is a Debian support channel. ask #knoppix
<8> loather: it seems like cardmgr recognize that some 802.11 card is inserted in socket, but cant read properties from this device
<8> i have tried also other similar intersil prism card, but same results, so cant really be card i think. both work in win32
<8> and if i try: ifconfig wifi0 up - then iwconfig reads -> wifi0: no wireless extensions - and i have to re-enter the card to get at least a few details there with wifi0
<8> loather: you sure i need HostAP for this Senao card, im pretty much sure, but i can easily switch to wlan-ng driver (which should also work i think..)
<5> you don't want hostap
<5> you want wlan-ng probably.
<5> hostap is to configure a wireless access point.
<18> :-|
<18> !smp =~ s#/smp-faq/#/Beowulf/smp-faq/prive/mentre/smp-faq/#
<10> that's too long, sussudio_
<18> ...
<8> loather: ok switching driver and rebooting (just to make sure)
<8> hostapd is for AP's i thought
<18> !smp =~ s #/brahma/smp-faq/#/Beowulf/smp-faq/prive/mentre/smp-faq/#
<18> !test
<10> No, sussudio_, you're not online any more.
<8> loather: loading wlan-ng now. green led is off from card. iwconfig gives wlan0: no wireless extensions
<19> is there any program i can apt-get to uncompress .rar files?
<18> wut: yes
<5> is there a wlanconfig thing that you have to do to create a virtual station?
<5> i've never worked with prism cards before.
<8> loather: asking me?
<5> yeah. i know with atheros (madwifi) boards you need to use a utility called wlanconfig to create a virtual station
<5> i'm wondering if wlan-ng is the same way
<8> well normally i would say yes. if i read manual for wlan-ng then a lot to do. but this is now included as far as i know
<8> distros now claim that configuring wlans is as easy as it is in win32
<8> im using now BACKTRACK
<8> they just released v1 today
