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

14:32.02 | IrishW0lf | stickster: Hi, what's on the agenda for tomorrow? |
14:38.30 | IrishW0lf | jsmith: how are you? |
14:49.37 | jsmith | IrishW0lf_afk: Sorry, I was away... as far as I know, the agenda is for everyone to show up and bring their favorite Linux problem |
14:51.23 | IrishW0lf | jsmith: thanks for the update. btw, do you know what packages (modules) are needed for python? |
14:52.22 | IrishW0lf | suse shows a lot, but I don't know whether to install all or just some. |
14:52.34 | jsmith | Well, install "python" first |
14:53.06 | jsmith | And if you have programs that need others, then install those (packages such as python-imaging, python-numeric, etc.) |
14:53.08 | IrishW0lf | i have that, it shows it as an interpreter |
14:53.33 | jsmith | Yes |
14:56.54 | IrishW0lf | ok, how do you start the program |
14:58.10 | IrishW0lf | the interpreter |
14:59.51 | IrishW0lf | nevermind, i figured it out |

17:49.07 | stickster | IrishW0lf_afk: Check out http://diveintopython.org/ -- free book, browseable online or download it -- GREAT way to learn Python |
17:51.12 | jsmith | stickster: No skin off my back |
17:51.26 | jsmith | stickster: I just like *writing* for O'Reilly... I didn't say I don't buy books from other publishers |
17:53.05 | stickster | heh |
17:54.03 | stickster | Well, 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 |
17:55.06 | jsmith | Oh, Intel broke it and gets to keep all the pieces? |
17:55.44 | stickster | jsmith: 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 |
17:56.18 | stickster | It *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 |
