| 19:13.39 | macluvjay | :) |
| 19:13.48 | macluvjay | do you have the source already? |
| 19:13.51 | techrush_ | no |
| 19:14.05 | macluvjay | your at a console or in gnome? |
| 19:14.09 | techrush_ | gnome |
| 19:15.23 | macluvjay | ok, you are not root right? |
| 19:15.35 | techrush_ | no not anymore :) |
| 19:15.38 | macluvjay | cd /usr/src |
| 19:15.48 | macluvjay | are you in the sudoers file? |
| 19:15.54 | techrush_ | no |
| 19:16.15 | techrush_ | ive just been using su |
| 19:16.23 | macluvjay | you're gonna need to do a lot of this as root, so go ahead and add yourself |
| 19:16.32 | techrush_ | su is no good ? |
| 19:16.35 | macluvjay | ok, as long as you can become root |
| 19:16.38 | techrush_ | yea |
| 19:16.49 | macluvjay | be root it /usr/src |
| 19:16.53 | macluvjay | wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.20.2.tar.bz2 |
| 19:17.07 | macluvjay | oh, you need some extra pkgs |
| 19:17.09 | macluvjay | one sec |
| 19:17.21 | techrush_ | wgetting now |
| 19:17.42 | macluvjay | apt-get install kernel-package libncurses5-dev fakeroot wget bzip2 |
| 19:17.51 | macluvjay | if you don't already have them |
| 19:18.53 | macluvjay | tar xjf linux-2.6.20.2.tar.bz2 |
| 19:18.59 | macluvjay | ln -s linux-2.6.20.2.tar.bz2 linux |
| 19:19.02 | macluvjay | cd linux |
| 19:19.33 | techrush_ | eta 1min on the kernel download :) |
| 19:19.43 | macluvjay | ok, I'll slow down |
| 19:19.47 | techrush_ | np |
| 19:22.48 | techrush_ | ok im caught up sorry |
| 19:23.13 | macluvjay | so you're in /usr/src/linux/ |
| 19:23.16 | techrush_ | oh wait its saying my .tar file is corrupted |
| 19:23.32 | macluvjay | ? |
| 19:23.37 | techrush_ | it chugs on decompressing it for a while then spits out some errors |
| 19:23.44 | macluvjay | you have bz2 installed? |
| 19:23.54 | macluvjay | bzip2 |
| 19:24.22 | techrush_ | bzip2 is already the newest version. |
| 19:24.49 | macluvjay | :/ |
| 19:25.00 | techrush_ | maybe i can just try to dwonload it again |
| 19:25.13 | macluvjay | remove the old one |
| 19:27.18 | techrush_ | ok |
| 19:27.25 | techrush_ | downloading now we'll see how it goes |
| 19:27.36 | macluvjay | ok, let me know when it's down |
| 19:34.28 | techrush_ | ok |
| 19:34.49 | macluvjay | tar xjf linux-2.6.20.2.tar.bz2 |
| 19:34.58 | macluvjay | ln -s linux-2.6.20.2 linux |
| 19:35.15 | macluvjay | I messed that line up before, but ^ that is the right one |
| 19:35.44 | macluvjay | you want to link 'linux' to the untarred directory not the tarball |
| 19:35.56 | techrush_ | got ya |
| 19:36.06 | techrush_ | still decompressing |
| 19:36.14 | techrush_ | i hope it works this time |
| 19:36.45 | techrush_ | ok cool |
| 19:36.53 | techrush_ | i must have just gottena bad download before |
| 19:37.02 | macluvjay | apparently |
| 19:37.23 | techrush_ | ok its all linked up |
| 19:37.34 | macluvjay | once in the /usr/src/linux/ directory you want to copy over your old config to ./.config |
| 19:37.39 | macluvjay | so it'll look something like |
| 19:38.09 | macluvjay | cp /boot/config-WHATEVERTHEMOSTCURRENTVERSIONIS ./.config |
| 19:38.45 | techrush_ | so i copy it to /.config ? |
| 19:38.59 | macluvjay | ./.config |
| 19:39.01 | techrush_ | cp /boot/config-2.6.18-4-powerpc /.config |
| 19:39.04 | techrush_ | ok |
| 19:39.16 | techrush_ | done |
| 19:39.18 | macluvjay | no that will put it in the / direcoty |
| 19:39.28 | macluvjay | you want it in your current working wirectory |
| 19:39.37 | macluvjay | ./.config |
| 19:39.41 | techrush_ | ahh ok |
| 19:39.45 | macluvjay | ./ means right here |
| 19:39.52 | macluvjay | where I am working now |
| 19:40.33 | macluvjay | cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ./.config |
| 19:40.44 | macluvjay | ^ would be another good way to put it |
| 19:41.01 | techrush_ | ok |
| 19:41.08 | macluvjay | once that's done |
| 19:41.16 | macluvjay | make menuconfig |
| 19:41.33 | macluvjay | you'll want to load an alternate configuration file |
| 19:41.51 | macluvjay | choose .config |
| 19:41.59 | macluvjay | the file you just copied over |
| 19:42.04 | techrush_ | ok done |
| 19:42.37 | macluvjay | that's probably all you'll do in menuconfig unless you want to go messing around in there |
| 19:42.44 | macluvjay | I don't think you do |
| 19:42.46 | techrush_ | not really |
| 19:42.50 | macluvjay | ok |
| 19:42.58 | macluvjay | now you can exit and save |
| 19:43.14 | techrush_ | ok |
| 19:43.25 | macluvjay | make-kpkg clean |
| 19:43.43 | macluvjay | preparingto make the kernel package |
| 19:43.55 | techrush_ | yah |
| 19:43.59 | macluvjay | once that gets done |
| 19:44.14 | macluvjay | fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers |
| 19:44.16 | techrush_ | done |
| 19:44.22 | macluvjay | change custom to whatever you want |
| 19:44.30 | techrush_ | cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ./.config |
| 19:44.38 | macluvjay | I suggest adding a 0.1 or something |
| 19:44.42 | techrush_ | oops |
| 19:45.05 | macluvjay | like, in place of custom put techrush-0.1 |
| 19:45.31 | techrush_ | bash: --append-to-version=-techrush-0.1: command not found |
| 19:45.45 | macluvjay | what that will do is make the initrd, kernel image and headers for you in a .deb file |
| 19:45.51 | macluvjay | is it all on one line? |
| 19:46.36 | techrush_ | ok got it working |
| 19:47.06 | macluvjay | now you wait |
| 19:47.12 | macluvjay | go drink some tea |
| 19:47.20 | techrush_ | heh i just drank some :/ |
| 19:47.24 | macluvjay | watch a movie |
| 19:47.31 | techrush_ | is it gonna take that long ? |
| 19:47.33 | macluvjay | 300 |
| 19:47.34 | macluvjay | yes |
| 19:47.49 | techrush_ | i bet it wont be over an hour |
| 19:47.57 | macluvjay | depending on youir specs, maybe a couple of hours |
| 19:48.10 | macluvjay | on my 1GHz G4 it's about 2 |
| 19:48.18 | techrush_ | 1.5ghz g4 1.25gb ram |
| 19:48.21 | techrush_ | we'll see |
| 19:49.21 | macluvjay | once it get's done, you just: |
| 19:49.33 | macluvjay | dpkg -i foo.deb |
| 19:49.43 | macluvjay | and reboot |
| 19:49.48 | macluvjay | and pray |
| 19:49.50 | techrush_ | is it really called foo.deb ? |
| 19:50.04 | macluvjay | lol, no |
| 19:50.11 | techrush_ | sorry if thats a dumb question but that throws me off sometimes |
| 19:50.11 | techrush_ | ok |
| 19:50.15 | macluvjay | linux-image-something.deb |
| 20:08.57 | techrush_ | this thing sure is getting hot |
| 20:10.53 | macluvjay | it won't explode |
| 20:11.09 | macluvjay | just don't keep it on your lap |
| 20:34.30 | macluvjay | techrush_: http://abstract.quadspeedi.net/~macluvjay/configs/config-2.6.20.1-macluvjay-0.2 |
| 20:35.04 | macluvjay | ^ my config |
| 20:35.47 | macluvjay | if it doesn't like yours after the reboot just type in old at the second yaboot prompt like I told you before |
| 20:36.03 | macluvjay | then you can try with my config |
| 20:36.23 | macluvjay | and I'll help you make the proper symlinks in /boot |
| 20:36.30 | macluvjay | hopefully you won't have to |
| 20:36.41 | techrush_ | ok |
| 20:59.53 | techrush_ | ok done |
| 20:59.55 | techrush_ | installing now |
| 21:00.34 | techrush_ | where is the .deb file ? |
| 21:00.55 | techrush_ | found it |

| 21:03.42 | macluvjay | :) |
| 21:03.58 | techrush | yeah booting into the new kernel now |
| 21:04.53 | techrush | yay |
| 21:05.11 | macluvjay | =D |
| 21:06.44 | techrush | hey thanks macluvjay |
| 21:06.55 | macluvjay | anytime, you know that |
| 21:15.49 | techrush | now to get wifi working |
| 21:16.00 | techrush | the whole reason for the new kernel in the 1st place :) |
| 21:16.26 | macluvjay | bcm43xx? |
| 21:16.45 | macluvjay | Airport Extreme |
| 21:17.11 | macluvjay | apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter |
| 21:17.18 | techrush | already done |
| 21:17.35 | macluvjay | /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh |
| 21:17.41 | techrush | i know how to get this working it was just a bit unreliable under 2.6.18 |
| 21:17.49 | macluvjay | oh ok |
| 21:18.11 | macluvjay | what wifi tool are you using? |
| 21:18.34 | macluvjay | I'm usually in a console, so I use those tools |
| 21:18.49 | macluvjay | I'll ususally do; |
| 21:18.57 | macluvjay | iwlist eth2 scan |
| 21:19.00 | techrush | i usually use wifi-radar |
| 21:19.13 | macluvjay | eth2 being your wireless interface |
| 21:19.14 | techrush | between that and the network-manager thing i can get it going usually |
| 21:19.34 | macluvjay | iwconfig eth2 essid myessid |
| 21:19.41 | macluvjay | iwconfig eth2 mode managed |
| 21:19.52 | macluvjay | iwconfig eth2 key s:mykey |
| 21:19.55 | macluvjay | sudo dhclient eth2 |
| 21:22.37 | techrush | do you have to do that everytime you reeboot ? |
| 21:22.42 | techrush | to bring up the wireless |
| 21:22.57 | chrisa | Network-manager works fine with bcm43xx if you're lazy |
| 21:23.01 | Corsac | you have to ip l set eth2 up before |
| 21:23.03 | chrisa | Even with LEAP/WPA |
| 21:23.10 | Corsac | and yes, nm works fine here |
| 21:23.33 | chrisa | You just need to keep in mind the debian and ubuntu NM packages ignore interfaces which are configured in /etc/network/interfaces |
| 21:23.50 | chrisa | So in my case, I don't have anything listed for eth1 in there |
| 21:24.01 | techrush | network-admin ? |
| 21:24.18 | macluvjay | network manager |
| 21:24.19 | chrisa | I think the package was network-manager-gnome ? |
| 21:24.50 | techrush | network-manager-gnome is already the newest it says |
| 21:25.02 | techrush | but network-admin is the only thing i can find along those lines on my system |
| 21:25.12 | chrisa | nm-applet needs to be running |
| 21:25.23 | chrisa | If you need to restart the daemon restart dbus |
| 21:25.34 | techrush | it is running |
| 21:25.34 | techrush | hrmm |
| 21:25.49 | techrush | oh wait here we go |
| 21:25.50 | chrisa | I'd restart dbus in that case if you don't see it |
| 21:29.55 | techrush | its not connecting bah |
| 21:33.52 | techrush | using the command line worked....where can i put those commands on my system so they will run everytime i boot ? |
| 21:57.29 | techrush | bleh this isnt working consistently either |
| 22:09.45 | macluvjay | like it's not staying online, or what? |
| 22:10.51 | techrush | sometimes it just wont resolve the dhcp request or whatever |
| 22:11.14 | techrush | then sometimes the device isnt up |
| 22:11.35 | techrush | i dont know its all messed up |
| 22:11.49 | macluvjay | well, it won't be up by default |
| 22:13.09 | techrush | ok now my keyboard stopped working |
| 22:13.10 | techrush | heh |
| 22:13.17 | macluvjay | uh, oh |
| 22:15.47 | techrush | it looks like the best way to do it is going to just make a custom script to keep on my desktop |
| 22:15.53 | techrush | and just run it everytime i boot |
| 22:16.03 | techrush | or everytime i need wireless |
| 22:16.07 | techrush | which is basically all the time |
| 22:16.29 | macluvjay | yeah, that's what I do |
| 22:16.44 | macluvjay | hang on, I'll give you a skel to work with |
