| Culiforge | I could be talking complete nonsense... but does 10.04 not have acpi support and is that why when I dist upgrade I have to add acpi=off to my grub to get new install to load? | 01:36 |
|---|---|---|
| philipballew | Culiforge, it should. | 01:40 |
| Culiforge | phit | 01:41 |
| Culiforge | phillipballew: | 01:41 |
| Culiforge | now i'm confused then | 01:41 |
| Culiforge | when I initially installed 10. | 01:41 |
| Culiforge | 04 | 01:41 |
| Culiforge | things went just fine.. upgraded to 11.04 and I need acpi=off to boot normally... | 01:42 |
| Culiforge | sorry, fat fingers tonight apparently | 01:42 |
| Thelas | I'm unable to connect to a wireless (WPA) network under Ubuntu 11.10. When clicking Enable Wireless from the menu it's disabled again very shortly thereafter. The same occurs from the Network menu in System Settings - I disabled Airplane Mode (which was enabled after the install), but it seems to reenable itself every time I reopen settings. I tried the commands at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=882357 but after | 03:24 |
| Thelas | the command "sudo dhclient wlan0" appears to hang, as it does not return even af ter several minutes. I ^Ced, looked at the man page, and tried it with "-1", whi ch had the same problem. Any help would be appreciated, as I'm not sure how to p roceed. | 03:24 |
| Thelas | [sorry for the odd spacing, the message went over the max length of my irc client's textbox, so I composed part of it in vim, and the newlines from wordwrap apparently became spaces when I copied it. | 03:25 |
| M0hi | Thelas, dhclient wlan0 hung and never responded with a value? | 03:38 |
| Thelas | Yeah, as far as I can tell. Didn't get a prompt back at least. | 03:38 |
| M0hi | can you run lspci and pastebint he result? | 03:39 |
| Thelas | sure. Any particular part you want, though? (I'll be copying it out by hand, as the computer with Ubuntu, well, won't connect.) | 03:40 |
| Thelas | Either way, just finished copying the full output out: http://pastebin.com/76y9sknE | 03:51 |
| Thelas | M0hi, if you're still there, pastebinned it above as requested. | 03:58 |
| M0hi | Sorry. I din't see it coming. give me a min Thelas =] | 03:59 |
| M0hi | Thelas, yours is a 64 bit OS or 32 bit? | 04:04 |
| Thelas | I downloaded the 64bit ubuntu installer off the site, assuming that's what you mean. | 04:05 |
| M0hi | The post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1900253 says that you have to disable N :[ | 04:07 |
| M0hi | Lemme dig more on it Thelas | 04:07 |
| Thelas | M0hi: Should I do that, then? Or are you still looking for something else? | 04:08 |
| M0hi | Thelas, Just create a backup file and please do the changes mentioned in that. Lets give it a try =] | 04:13 |
| Thelas | The file doesn't exist, so no need to back it up. | 04:13 |
| M0hi | Ahha! okies | 04:13 |
| Thelas | I'm getting a permission denied when I try to cat >> it though, even with sudo. | 04:14 |
| Thelas | (and vim and emacs aren't installed by default apparently.) | 04:14 |
| M0hi | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1844396 another post | 04:14 |
| M0hi | lol | 04:14 |
| M0hi | did you create the file and try it | 04:15 |
| * M0hi prefers nautilus ;D | 04:15 | |
| Thelas | how should I edit it? | 04:15 |
| Thelas | since I'm getting "Permission denied" | 04:16 |
| M0hi | Thelas, 1) sudo nautilus 2) goto the particular location, create the file 3) right click and open with gedit | 04:19 |
| Thelas | yeah, I just figured that out | 04:19 |
| Thelas | not sure why sudo nautilus worked but not sudo cat | 04:19 |
| Thelas | but oh well | 04:19 |
| M0hi | or else change the file permission first. sudo chmod 777 <file-path> | 04:19 |
| M0hi | hehe cat do not need a sudo unless the file is locked though ;P | 04:20 |
| Thelas | I meant "sudo cat >> /etc/[...]" | 04:20 |
| Thelas | but either way, change made. Do I reboot now, or..? | 04:20 |
| M0hi | Yep. Try rebooting. I will be here. just ping my name wheny oua re back =] | 04:21 |
| Thelas | This is on a separate computer, I have no internet at all on the ubuntu box. | 04:23 |
| M0hi | awwe :[ | 04:24 |
| Thelas | but I'll ping you when it's up | 04:24 |
| M0hi | sure | 04:25 |
| Thelas | M0hi: Well, that was the fastest reboot since ever | 04:25 |
| Thelas | I have opened the Network settings and there is no longer a Wireless tab at all. | 04:25 |
| M0hi | owh! that's great. check whether the issue got resolved =] | 04:26 |
| Thelas | Also, Airplane mode turned itself back on. Again | 04:26 |
| M0hi | :o | 04:26 |
| M0hi | Forgot to ask you a question. What is your laptop model? | 04:27 |
| Thelas | Lenovo V570. | 04:27 |
| M0hi | http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=266687 | 04:32 |
| M0hi | Thelas, are you looking at that thread? | 04:35 |
| Thelas | yes, I did | 04:35 |
| Thelas | trying the commands, acer_wml does not exist for rmmod | 04:37 |
| Thelas | and more importantly it isn't found by modprobe | 04:37 |
| M0hi | so sudo rmmod -f acer_wmi returns nothing? | 04:38 |
| Thelas | with -f it returns nothing, yes | 04:39 |
| M0hi | dmesg | grep iwl returns nothing? | 04:41 |
| Thelas | [ 9.041459] iwlagn: Unkown parameter `11n_disable50' | 04:43 |
| M0hi | :/ its the entry we made and it is not present already :/ | 04:44 |
| Thelas | yeah, that's what that looks like to be | 04:44 |
| Thelas | what now? | 04:44 |
| Thelas | should I delete that, reboot, and try the same thing again? | 04:48 |
| M0hi | Thelas, saw something in http://askubuntu.com/questions/77719/wireless-doesnt-work-on-a-lenovo-v570 | 04:49 |
| Thelas | should I delete the file you had me make earlier first, or keep it/ | 04:51 |
| Thelas | *? | 04:51 |
| M0hi | yeah. Delete it and give a try for the response in askubuntu | 04:52 |
| Thelas | Well, I just got a popup saying "connection established" | 04:57 |
| Thelas | so I think I am now entitled to be happy. | 04:57 |
| M0hi | Me too :) | 04:58 |
| M0hi | So you tried the second point right? Just planning to keep a note to help in future ;D | 04:59 |
| Thelas | The answer that was +2ed is the one that helped. | 04:59 |
| M0hi | cool | 05:00 |
| M0hi | Thelas, Internet is connected now? | 05:01 |
| Thelas | Yep! | 05:01 |
| M0hi | Yay!! great =] | 05:01 |
| Thelas | of course not everything's working smoothly... | 05:02 |
| Thelas | "sudo apt-get install vim" yells at me | 05:02 |
| M0hi | awwe | 05:02 |
| Thelas | by which it mean it says "Package 'vim' has no installation candidate." | 05:02 |
| Thelas | I'll figure that out, though. Thank you for the help with the internet. | 05:05 |

| M0hi | Thelas, ^ | 05:05 |
| M0hi | wait...! 11.10 right? | 05:05 |
| Thelas | Yeah, 11.10 for me. | 05:06 |
| M0hi | Thelas, sudo apt-get install texlive-full vim | 05:07 |
| Thelas | ah. It's yelling at me about locks now... I'll wait for after the updates, maybe it'll work then. | 05:07 |
| M0hi | Aye! :) | 05:08 |
| Thelas | For now, the person who lent me this other computer to use while I was getting this working would like it back, so I'll probably come back next time I can't figure something out (once I have an IRC client on the Ubuntu machine.) | 05:08 |
| Thelas | Thank you! | 05:08 |
