| dun | is this the right place to ask questions about lubuntu? | 05:44 |
| Unit193 | Yep | 05:46 |
| dun | I am curious about wireless detection in lubuntu on an older laptop. I know the idea is for the OS to be compatible with older hardware. i jsut started and install for the second time and both times it has shown as it is not connected to the network. The catch is I have it hard wired, as well as a secure wireless network and an unsecured network in the room where this is taking place. | 05:52 |
| Unit193 | Can you access the internet though? If it's an unknown device, you should be able to find what it is with lspci or lsusb typed into the terminal | 05:54 |
| Unit193 | !wireless | 05:55 |
| ubot5 | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 05:55 |
| dun | sweet thanks for that link! | 05:55 |
| dun | No I have not been able to access the internet in lubuntu yet. But I have had success in other variants of linux were the wireless networks are detected. I am wondering if lubuntu will see the networks or do I need to point it at them? | 05:59 |
| Unit193 | You will need to connect the wireless one | 06:00 |
| Unit193 | It should "see" the wireless as long as the router is set for broadcasting (As yours is) | 06:00 |
| dun | Perfect that is what is was hoping to have some light shed on. Thank you! | 06:02 |
| Unit193 | Are you connected yet? What type is the wireless model? | 06:03 |
| jmarsden | Might be simpler to get the wired connection working first; then, you can use it to get any extras you need to work on the wireless NIC. | 06:05 |
| silverarrow | hi | 06:12 |
| silverarrow | anyone awake? | 06:12 |
| silverarrow | I have had some kind of hd crash | 06:12 |
| silverarrow | and I have lubuntu on my hard drive | 06:12 |
| silverarrow | lubuntu have acted odd lately | 06:13 |
| jmarsden | Even Lubuntu, great though it is, has a hard time booting off a crashed hard drive! | 06:13 |
| silverarrow | maybe not the best term to use | 06:13 |
| silverarrow | hard drive should be all right | 06:14 |
| silverarrow | I scanned it with ultimate boot cd, and it came of all right | 06:14 |
| dun | I am up and running now with the install complete. I just configuered the wireless network although under the network icon in the taskbar both wired and wireless are grayed out. I am wondering if I still need drivers for both. I will check on the wireless model i am pretty sure it is a broadcom. | 06:14 |
| jmarsden | !b43 | 06:15 |
| ubot5 | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 06:15 |
| jmarsden | silverarrow: Then... you need to describe the issue in a way that will help us understand it :) | 06:15 |
| silverarrow | yesterday lubuntu didn't shot down properly. When I shutting down, the regular boot down menu would not appear. I got "child process would not respond" or something like that | 06:16 |
| silverarrow | not I get "not hd detected" | 06:16 |
| silverarrow | no* | 06:16 |
| silverarrow | now* | 06:16 |
| silverarrow | sorry | 06:16 |
| silverarrow | no hd detected* | 06:17 |
| silverarrow | a bit unusual isn't it? | 06:17 |
| jmarsden | So when you boot the machine, exactly what do you see? Do you see a GRUB boot menu, or does the "no hd detected" happen before that? | 06:17 |
| dun | broadcom bcm306 is the wireless device, the link looks promising | 06:17 |
| silverarrow | no grub, just a lot of red text, either "no os detected" or "no hd detected" it sort of varies on attempts | 06:18 |
| dun | 4306 typo | 06:18 |
| silverarrow | I'm not sure if red text is lubuntu or BIOS though | 06:19 |
| jmarsden | dun: Ah, good, that makes more sense. And then yes, the info in that link should be what you need. | 06:21 |
| jmarsden | silverarrow: Can you take a picture of the screen (with a digital camera) when it is in that state and put it online so I can see it? | 06:22 |
| dun | jmarsden: i now need work through the info within the provided link, I'll check back when I get done. | 06:25 |
| dun | thanks btw | 06:25 |
| jmarsden | dun: Cool. I may be gone by the time you come back, 11pm here... but come back anyway, I leave the machine logging this channel. | 06:25 |
| silverarrow | jmarsden, getting camera | 06:34 |
| jmarsden | silverarrow: OK. I am hoping seeing it will help me know which it is, BIOS or GRUB... | 06:35 |
| dun | right on . pretty late here...might be quite some time, but i will be back. | 06:36 |
| silverarrow | back in a few minutes | 06:39 |
| dun | Driver is installed and now the wireless device is recognized. Big thanks, I am well on my way now. Until next time! | 06:55 |
| jmarsden | dun: Good :) | 06:55 |

| AmberJ | Hello | 11:53 |
| AmberJ | Is lubuntu going to be official *ubuntu (canonical supported/sponsered) distro when 11.10 comes out? | 11:54 |
| head_victim | AmberJ: it already is official. You'll find daily images on the Ubuntu image server. | 12:03 |
| AmberJ | head_victim: I'm using lubuntu 11.04 since it was released. I'm sure it got much better than the last release...There are a few kinks that I seem to notice very regularly | 12:07 |
| AmberJ | (?) | 12:07 |
| head_victim | AmberJ: what sort of kinks, have they been reported as bugs or can I help you accomplish that :) | 12:07 |
| AmberJ | yea, all are already reported | 12:07 |
| head_victim | Cool, well hopefully they're being worked on then :) | 12:09 |
| AmberJ | ok thanks head_victim :) | 12:12 |
| head_victim | You're welcome, feel free to sign up to the mailing list so that you can keep up to date on how it's all going | 12:12 |
| leszek | hi | 12:18 |
| m6locks | o hai guises | 12:43 |
| m6locks | i got this small problem i'd like to ask about | 12:44 |
| leszek | m6locks: just ask | 12:45 |
| m6locks | is there like a way to hard-reset keyboard using command line? my eeePC got some cola dried up in it and it gets this periods where ISO_Level3_Shift is turned on, and all I can type is greek/whatever characters | 12:45 |
| m6locks | alt + sysrq + r does not work | 12:45 |
| m6locks | xmodmapping iso_level3_shift does not work either | 12:46 |
| m6locks | (before that issue happens) | 12:46 |
| m6locks | i can use the system correctly for some time before i'm stuck with that ISO_Level3_Shift, hard booting the system helps, but I was wondering if I would not have to reboot the system | 12:48 |
| leszek | m6locks: this seems to be a hard problem to fix. | 12:52 |
| m6locks | i've been googling madly, but so far no luck | 12:53 |
| rezbd | backlight supposed to be dim when laptop running on battery, but it's not. | 12:59 |
| rezbd | I wounder did I install Lubuntu 11.04 properl? having problem with some applications and matters. or there are bugs. | 13:25 |
| === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie | ||
| silverarrow | is there a way to see if file checksum is correct in lubuntu? | 14:28 |
| IdleOne | silverarrow: you mean for the .iso? | 14:41 |
| silverarrow | yes | 14:42 |
| IdleOne | !checksum | 14:42 |
| ubot5 | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 14:42 |
| silverarrow | well, it is not exactly like usual | 14:42 |
| IdleOne | hmm lets see if we can find the lubuntu checksums | 14:42 |
| silverarrow | I am in lubuntu, which is my main os these days, and I have burnt a puppy linux cd | 14:43 |
| IdleOne | ok | 14:43 |
| IdleOne | so want to verify the puppy checksum? | 14:43 |
| silverarrow | yes | 14:44 |
| silverarrow | but I get this following the ubuntu guide http://imagebin.org/172956 | 14:44 |
| IdleOne | look on the puppy site they must provide checksums so you can compare | 14:44 |
| IdleOne | not sure why you are trying to mount /dev/sda | 14:46 |
| IdleOne | read the "Checking the CD directly" section on the HowToMD5SUM page | 14:47 |
| silverarrow | I'm just copy and pasting from a guide lol | 14:47 |
| IdleOne | guides are just that, guides. They are meant to be read not copied verbatim | 14:48 |
