| 06:21.44 | bradym | any linux gurus around? |
| 06:25.43 | herlo | why? |
| 06:25.50 | herlo | should there be? |
| 06:26.08 | herlo | bradym: seriously, how can I help you... |
| 06:26.42 | bradym | i've got wireless working on an ubuntu box when i login... trying to figure out how to get wireless working on boot |
| 06:26.50 | bradym | so far no go, after many google searches |
| 06:26.59 | bradym | guess i should have asked for ubuntu gurus ;) |
| 06:27.13 | bradym | any ideas? |
| 06:28.05 | herlo | bradym: I don't think an Ubuntu Guru vs a Fedora Guru will make much difference |
| 06:28.25 | bradym | true :) |
| 06:28.39 | herlo | bradym: what you are asking is, can your system automagically identify a particular wireless device on boot and associate with it and get an IP before logging in? |
| 06:28.51 | bradym | exactly |
| 06:28.54 | herlo | why? |
| 06:30.18 | herlo | bradym: I ask because I can't see a good reason to have wireless work before login... |
| 06:30.18 | bradym | i'm setting up a box for my roommate to use that will be used mostly via ssh and vnc... if for some reason it reboots, i want it to connect to the wireless without me logging in firs |
| 06:30.21 | herlo | most of the time... |
| 06:30.48 | herlo | well, you could have it autologin |
| 06:30.58 | herlo | is it gnome or KDE?? |
| 06:31.17 | bradym | gnome |
| 06:32.34 | bradym | at this point, i mostly just want to win.. hate it when computers win ;) |
| 06:32.47 | herlo | bradym: would this work for what you need? |
| 06:32.53 | herlo | http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/07/09/enable-timed-or-automatic-login-on-ubuntu-804/ |
| 06:35.10 | bradym | yeah, i think so. i may create a limited access user for that so i don't feel so dirty having auto login ;) |
| 06:35.36 | herlo | lol, k |
| 06:35.38 | herlo | good luck |
| 06:35.47 | bradym | thanks for the suggestion |
| 06:35.50 | bradym | :) |
| 06:35.58 | herlo | np, anytime |
| 06:36.17 | herlo | another thought is to have a kiosk user, there's a package called xguest that might work |
| 06:37.08 | bradym | ooh.. that sounds like a good idea |
| 06:38.12 | herlo | bradym: not sure if Ubuntu has xguest, but it's pretty awesome |
| 06:38.28 | bradym | not in the apt-get repository :( |
| 06:38.57 | herlo | well, I guess autologin will work |
