| Guest63714 | hello i was wondering if i could get some help about my wireless network | 09:32 |
|---|---|---|
| brot | Guest63714: whats your problem? | 09:33 |
| Guest63714 | my wifi adapter doesn't seem to show up | 09:33 |
| Guest63714 | i've been looking for drivers or some way around it finally had to hook up my ethernet cable | 09:34 |
| brot | what version of ubuntu do you run, and what wifi adapter do you have? | 09:34 |
| Guest63714 | i'm on Xubuntu 10.04, and my wireless adapter is a Actiontec 802AIN | 09:35 |
| Guest63714 | all i can find is 802UXX, but oddly my adapter has worked on ubuntu | 09:35 |
| Guest63714 | lol i usually try not to ask for help but i'm at the end of my knowledge on this distro and overall linux | 09:37 |
| Guest63714 | i'm performing a update so perhaps that will fix the problem | 09:42 |
| knome | Guest63714, asking is okay | 09:43 |
| knome | Guest63714, what works in ubuntu should really work in xubuntu, so there's hope | 09:43 |
| Guest63714 | thanks i'll be back i have to restart i'll give you an update on the situation | 09:45 |
| jay_ | back | 09:51 |
| jay_ | didn't seem to work | 09:51 |

| bluedoor | Hello, I'm a happy user of Xubuntu 10.04(LTS). Some background: I have recently decided to try out i3 tiling windows manager. I'm able to chose i3 session from login screen, and after i3 starts, I no longer see the xfce panels. Here's the problem: I cannot connect to wireless network from console. | 13:42 |
| Sysi | log into xfce, alt+f2 'i3 --replace' and save session on logout | 13:43 |
| bluedoor | every post I've seen recommends a sequence of commands: iwlist, iwconfig, dhclient and I run them, however dhclient displays only "NO DHCPOFFERS received" at the end | 13:43 |
| bluedoor | @sysi, thank you, this might work, I'll try that. | 13:44 |
| bluedoor | one more thing - when I run "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid 'linksys' " (my router has default configuration, no password) and then execute iwconfig, the essid near the wlan0 is some complicated text. | 13:47 |
| bluedoor | ...and when I connect through xfce panel, it's the network name (linksys). Is it possible that there's the problem? | 13:47 |
| Sysi | wireless from CLi is just something i won't touch | 13:48 |
| psycho_oreos | wireless managers like network manager and wicd usually inhibits any manual operation | 13:50 |
| psycho_oreos | dmesg usually proves as such, one will see device is not ready, etc | 13:50 |
| Sysi | cnetworkmanager does exist though | 13:51 |
| bluedoor | I've just downloaded cnetworkmanager, that seems to solve my problems, thank you! | 13:58 |
| crond | Hi, my 'Other' menu in the Applications menu is just randomly going missing. If I restart X, it's back for a couple of minutes, then... poof, gone again | 14:57 |
| crond | can anyone help me with this bit of oddness? :) | 14:57 |
| crond | this is so bloody odd. | 15:05 |
| crond | wtf | 15:31 |
| crond | ITS GONE AGAIN | 15:31 |
| crond | Does anyone know why an entire menu category in xfce would just go missing, then come back after a restart, then go missing again? | 15:34 |
| TheSheep | crond: sounds like whatever generates it on startup does it differently than on update | 15:37 |
| crond | its driving me bonkers | 15:38 |
| crond | Oh, now its back, for now, with no restart. | 15:38 |
| jeward | My Mac Pro is having trouble booting from either the 10.10 or 11 alpha CDs. | 18:24 |
| jeward | I get to: 1. 2. Select CD-ROM Boot Type : | 18:24 |
| jeward | And I can't get it to go beyond that prompt. | 18:25 |
| Sysi | jeward: might be more of mactel business | 18:40 |
| jeward | Sysi: What does that mean? | 18:45 |
| Sysi | irc.oftc.net #mactel | 18:46 |

| mark76 | Why's Xubuntu going grey with Natty? | 21:03 |
| Sysi | new theme? :P | 21:09 |
| mark76 | But... Grey? | 21:09 |
| mark76 | I mean... Grey!? | 21:09 |
| TheSheep | shh, could have been yellow | 21:09 |
| mark76 | :D | 21:09 |
| zillar | i like the black and blue | 21:09 |
| mark76 | Black and blue's good | 21:09 |
| TheSheep | nobody tells you to change your settings | 21:10 |
| Sysi | grey is way better than brown | 21:10 |
| mark76 | Are they trying not to look like LXDE? | 21:10 |
| mark76 | I mean Lubuntu | 21:10 |
| Sysi | trying to look less smurf i guess | 21:10 |
| TheSheep | I don't think it has anything to do with branding | 21:10 |
| Sysi | just new default theme, why not | 21:10 |
| charlie-tca | I don't think Xubuntu ever tried to look like Lubuntu, did they? | 21:10 |
| Sysi | blue one will be available anyway | 21:11 |
| mark76 | Cool | 21:11 |
