| chris_ | this is visual assassin.....had to get a new user name.....having some trouble can anyone help? | 13:10 |
| brousch | trouble with what? | 13:11 |
| brousch | greg-g: i just saw this on the Python Planet https://openhatch.org/blog/2012/ten-contributors-hacked-oh-during-pycon-sprints/ | 13:11 |
| chris_ | well two things, i cant get my wireless to work and my sound isnt working | 13:12 |
| chris_ | my wireless used to work when i had a different distro of linux installed as well as the sound but now the sound is not working and i can only connect with a wired connection | 13:13 |
| brousch | what version of ubuntu are you using and what's your wireless card? | 13:14 |
| chris_ | im running lubuntu and im not sure of the wireless card. How do i find out what type of card im running in terminal? | 13:14 |
| chris_ | i know lubuntu is a slimmed down version of ubuntu but i cant find help anywhere else | 13:15 |
| brousch | run this at the command prompt: | 13:18 |
| brousch | lshw -C network | 13:18 |
| brousch | that will get a lot of info about your network devices | 13:18 |
| chris_ | BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN | 13:20 |
| brousch | ok, try this at the command line: | 13:26 |
| brousch | sudo modprobe b43 | 13:26 |
| brousch | i see a lot of other people with similar issues, but haven't found a fix yet | 13:28 |
| brousch | any particular reason you're using lubuntu? | 13:28 |
| chris_ | because when i was running the newest version of ubuntu is was laggin my machine and someone suggested lubuntu | 13:36 |
| brousch | it is fast | 13:37 |
| chris_ | wait a second now, it looked like it didnt do anything in terminal but i just looked down and my wireless button came on | 13:38 |
| chris_ | but now it isnt picking up any networks | 13:40 |
| brousch | hm | 13:42 |
| chris_ | yeah its weird, my phone connects to my wireless but my machine isnt | 13:43 |
| chris_ | for some reason it is not populating a list of wireless connections | 13:46 |
| brousch | chris_: you might try this https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/161457 | 13:47 |
| chris_ | thanks for the info, ill look into that.....i need the wireless because i need this machine for school that starts monday | 13:50 |
| chris_ | im gonna reboot and see what happens | 13:57 |
| chris_ | thanks a lot i rebooted and the list populated and now the wireless is working.....thanks a lot | 14:02 |
