01:09.13sticksterjsmith: So I'm trying F7test3 on my ThinkPad
01:09.28sticksterLooks nice, but a couple important things are borked, like my ipw3945 :-(
01:09.47jsmith:-(
01:09.54sticksterOn the + side, my fingerprint works for authentication
01:10.08sticksterAnd no more random lockups as of the 3025 kernel, also +
01:10.09jsmithI've heard several people complain about weird bugs in test3 that really keep them from testing the livecd
01:10.35sticksterWell, bugs are really the BEST reason to test the liveCD, you don't have to worry about *living* with the bugs :-D
01:10.54sticksterI couldn't resist, I just installed in on the HDD
01:11.26jsmithAh...
01:11.39jsmithWere you able to work arounhd your ipw3945 problem?
01:11.45sticksterNo :-(
01:11.50jsmith:-(
01:12.03sticksterI'm dead in the water. And that really stinks because I like to stay where I can see/interact with the kids
01:12.13sticksterOtherwise I'm stuck in the basement.
01:13.29sticksteryum seems to be working great, though
01:16.00sticksterThe bug in Python that caused a CPU wake every 100ms, and made yum-updatesd/puplet useless on laptops, seems to be fixed too

14:32.02IrishW0lfstickster: Hi, what's  on the agenda for tomorrow?
14:38.30IrishW0lfjsmith: how are you?
14:49.37jsmithIrishW0lf_afk: Sorry, I was away... as far as I know, the agenda is for everyone to show up and bring their favorite Linux problem
14:51.23IrishW0lfjsmith: thanks for the update.  btw, do you know what packages (modules) are needed for python?
14:52.22IrishW0lfsuse shows a lot, but I don't know whether to install all or just some.
14:52.34jsmithWell, install "python" first
14:53.06jsmithAnd if you have programs that need others, then install those (packages such as python-imaging, python-numeric, etc.)
14:53.08IrishW0lfi have that, it shows it as an interpreter
14:53.33jsmithYes
14:56.54IrishW0lfok, how do you start the program
14:58.10IrishW0lfthe interpreter
14:59.51IrishW0lfnevermind, i figured it out
16:58.53*** join/#fredlug IrishW0lf_afk (n=william@70-41-145-17.cust.wildblue.net)
17:49.07sticksterIrishW0lf_afk: Check out http://diveintopython.org/ -- free book, browseable online or download it -- GREAT way to learn Python
17:51.12jsmithstickster: No skin off my back
17:51.26jsmithstickster: I just like *writing* for O'Reilly... I didn't say I don't buy books from other publishers
17:53.05sticksterheh
17:54.03sticksterWell, I had to revert to FC6 again.  But I'm watching the bug at the IWL site so if they can fix the AP registration problem, I may go back to Rawhide
17:55.06jsmithOh, Intel broke it and gets to keep all the pieces?
17:55.44sticksterjsmith: Apparently... it's SO close you can taste it.  The hardware is recognized once you drop in the firmware, and it can scan correctly and see the AP, it just can't associate with it -- at least using WPA/WPA2
17:56.18sticksterIt *MIGHT* work if you manually enter the MAC for the AP, but I am simply not going to do that every time I move from wired -> wifi at home
