| hende | jordan im pretty sure i have all the files i need i just dont know how to make them work | 02:36 |
| Jordan_U | hende, Lets try to deal with wifi first. | 02:37 |
| hende | thats what im talking about | 02:37 |
| hende | so you tell me what to do i do it | 02:37 |
| Jordan_U | hende, Can you connect to the internet through ethernet temporarily? | 02:37 |
| hende | see right not i have it hardlined to my router | 02:38 |
| hende | it picks up the connection but firefox doesnt | 02:38 |
| hende | but there is no wifi connection at all | 02:38 |
| Jordan_U | hende, try running: sudo dhclient eth0 | 02:39 |
| Jordan_U | hende, If it doesn't work then pastebin the output | 02:39 |
| hende | i cant firefox dont work | 02:39 |
| Jordan_U | oh yea :) | 02:40 |
| hende | i ran it | 02:40 |
| hende | what do you need to know | 02:40 |
| Jordan_U | What did the last line say ? | 02:40 |
| hende | no working lease in persistent database | 02:40 |
| hende | - sleeping | 02:41 |
| Jordan_U | :( | 02:41 |
| hende | what? | 02:41 |
| Jordan_U | And ethernet worked in windows? | 02:41 |
| hende | yes | 02:41 |
| hende | ? | 02:42 |
| Jordan_U | Ok, then I guess we can still try to get your wireless working, but you are going to have to transfer things with a thumb drive | 02:42 |
| hende | huh??? transfer what | 02:42 |
| hende | whats a thumb drive??? | 02:42 |
| Jordan_U | The firmware for your card, a USB key | 02:43 |
| Jordan_U | ( there are ~ 500 different names for it :) | 02:43 |
| hende | ok i dont think i have a usb key | 02:43 |
| hende | but i can burn to data disk | 02:43 |
| Jordan_U | Do you have an external drive or CD burner? | 02:43 |
| Jordan_U | Ok | 02:44 |
| hende | k | 02:44 |
| hende | so step 1 | 02:44 |
| Jordan_U | Grab the firmware for your card @: trogdoor.googlepages.com/firmware.zip | 02:44 |
| hende | its just closing the window | 02:45 |
| Jordan_U | Strange | 02:46 |
| hende | k got it | 02:47 |
| hende | open it or just burn it | 02:47 |
| Jordan_U | hende, Just burn it, I sent the file to you in case you can't get it from firefox for some reson | 02:48 |
| Jordan_U | *reason | 02:48 |
| Jordan_U | You could also unzip it first, it really doesn't matter | 02:48 |
| hende | ok well i already started burn | 02:49 |
| hende | k im ready | 02:49 |
| Jordan_U | hende, Ok, extract the firmware folder to your desktop | 02:49 |
| hende | i just out it in laptop | 02:49 |
| Jordan_U | then run: sudo cp ~Desktop/firmware/*.fw /lib/firmware | 02:50 |
| Jordan_U | Forgot a "/" it's : sudo cp ~/Desktop/firmware/*.fw /lib/firmware | 02:51 |
| hende | no such file or directory | 02:52 |
| hende | do you want me to just go to my desktop | 02:52 |
| Jordan_U | Do you have a folder named firmware on your desktop? | 02:52 |
| hende | yas | 02:53 |
| Jordan_U | hende, Does it have a bunch of .fw files in it? | 02:54 |
| hende | yes i can go in that folder in the terminal | 02:54 |
| Jordan_U | You need to copy the .fw files into /lib/firmware | 02:55 |
| Jordan_U | I don't know why that command wouldn't work though | 02:55 |
| hende | so how would i do that from the terminal or would i do that like with the filesystem | 02:55 |
| Jordan_U | Try cd'ing into ~/Desktop/firmware | 02:56 |
| Jordan_U | Then run: sudo cp *.fw /lib/firmware | 02:56 |
| hende | thats where im at | 02:57 |
| hende | it did it | 02:57 |
| hende | k what next | 02:58 |
| Jordan_U | hende, Ok, now either restart or run: sudo modprobe bcm43xx | 02:58 |
| hende | nothing happened | 02:59 |
| hende | it just went to the next command line | 02:59 |
| Jordan_U | hende, Then it worked | 02:59 |
| hende | ok | 02:59 |
| hende | the lights on will i have to do that everytime i turn it on? | 02:59 |
| Jordan_U | hende, No | 02:59 |
| hende | let me test it | 02:59 |
| hende | its working yay | 03:00 |
| hende | that was way easier then everyone made it into | 03:00 |
| hende | thank you | 03:00 |
| hende | let me check firefox | 03:00 |
| hende | its working | 03:00 |
| hende | so i wont have to do that everytime i turn it off and on | 03:01 |
| Jordan_U | Nope, it will be loaded automatically | 03:01 |

| Jordan_U | hi, sorry, have you installed bcm43xx-fwcutter so that your firmware will be updated automatically ? | 03:06 |
| hende | no fw cutter i have the file though | 03:06 |
| Jordan_U | hende, fwcutter is a package, you don't need it now but it will keep your firmware up to date whenever a new version is released | 03:07 |
| hende | so how do i put it on | 03:07 |
| Jordan_U | Install bcm43xx-fwcutter from synaptic | 03:08 |
| hende | and the firmware files can i put them in the trash | 03:08 |
| Jordan_U | Do you know how to install things in Ubuntu? | 03:08 |
| hende | no | 03:08 |
| Jordan_U | Yes. | 03:08 |
| Jordan_U | !synaptic | hende | 03:08 |

| hende | hit yes | 03:15 |
| Jordan_U | Yes | 03:15 |
| Jordan_U | Once that is done run: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" and choose "intel" as the driver then restart X and try desktop effects again | 03:15 |

| Jordan_U | hende, Try running the same command but choose "i810" instead of "intel" | 03:26 |
| hende | failed to start xserver | 03:26 |
| hende | it is likely it is not set up correctly | 03:26 |
| hende | view server output??? | 03:26 |
| Jordan_U | no, just press ctrl+alt+F2 to get to a terminal | 03:26 |

| hende | jordan??? | 03:33 |
| Jordan_U | hende, Sorry, choose whatever your native resolution is | 03:34 |
| hende | k | 03:34 |
| hende | now im back to command line | 03:34 |
| Jordan_U | hende, Run: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 03:35 |
| hende | failed to start | 03:36 |
| hende | ??? | 03:36 |
| Jordan_U | hende, Then it really appears that you don't have an intel GPU, at least the intel drivers aren't working | 03:37 |
| hende | try different res??? | 03:37 |
| hende | its a intel extreme i googled ir | 03:37 |
| hende | it | 03:37 |
| hende | somebody said turn on direct render | 03:37 |
| Jordan_U | hende, You could try a different res, do you know the native resolution of your screen? | 03:37 |
| hende | on ubuntu normally 12 something by 768 | 03:38 |
| Jordan_U | hende, What about on windows? | 03:38 |
| hende | no idea | 03:38 |
| hende | i can google it | 03:38 |
| hende | 1280 by 800 | 03:39 |
| hende | hold on | 03:39 |
| Jordan_U | hende, Whatever it is that is the resolution you need to choose | 03:39 |
| hende | still failed | 03:40 |
| Jordan_U | Try without addig anything but the resolutions that are pre-selected | 03:41 |
| Jordan_U | i.e. just hit enter when it comes to the resolution screen | 03:41 |
| hende | k | 03:42 |
| hende | it still didnt work i tried intel too | 03:42 |
| hende | umm can you find anything on the forum about it | 03:42 |
| hende | would beryl be easier | 03:43 |
| hende | nice got it | 03:43 |
| hende | ati | 03:43 |
| hende | wow | 03:43 |
| Jordan_U | So it's an ATI card? | 03:44 |
| hende | i guess | 03:44 |
| Jordan_U | ATI cards are a pain | 03:44 |
| hende | still white screen | 03:44 |
| hende | so now we know its ati what do we do | 03:44 |
| Jordan_U | hende, You probably need to install the proprietary drivers + XGL, XGL is basically a hack that is only required on ATI cards because ATI/AMD hates Linux :( | 03:45 |
| hende | how to??? | 03:46 |
| Jordan_U | I don't know, ask in #ubuntu-effects | 03:46 |
| hende | k | 03:46 |
| hende | thanx | 03:46 |
| Jordan_U | on any other card it's easy | 03:46 |
| hende | so tell them i have a ati and need help | 03:46 |
| Jordan_U | Yes | 03:46 |
| hende | thank you so much jordan | 03:46 |
| Jordan_U | np | 03:49 |
| hende | wait i did it myself i think with the restricted drivers thingie | 03:50 |
| hende | 3d accelarator or something was disabled | 03:51 |
| === PWill [n=paul@unaffiliated/pwill] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| Jordan_U | hende, Yes, restricted driver manager will give you direct rendering, but ATI's direct rendering does not support Beryl or Compiz | 04:04 |
| Jordan_U | That is why you also need to install XGL after you enable the restricted drivers | 04:05 |
