| cdoublejj | that escalated quickly not only did install grub to my ssd it's broke oh well i'll just bootrec it | 00:41 |

| BenMcLean | hey. i was in here earlier confused cause i didn't know the difference between lubuntu-core and lubuntu-desktop | 03:15 |
| BenMcLean | So i did sudo apt-get lubuntu-desktop and everything is here that is supposed to be, except that it's not finding any wireless networks | 03:16 |
| BenMcLean | I was able to get it to detect wireless networks when I installed 12.10 the other day but I need 12.04 | 03:16 |
| BenMcLean | on 12.04, the wireless stuff in the wireless menu is greyed out | 03:16 |
| holstein | BenMcLean: you can try different drivers for the wifi.. i usually plug them in wired and see if there are any restricted drivers available.. i would also just apply upgrades and see if an upgrade "fixes" it | 03:29 |
| holstein | could be permissions... | 03:30 |
| BenMcLean | no restricted drivers | 03:34 |
| BenMcLean | how do i set permissions? | 03:34 |
| BenMcLean | apparently, network manager doesn't recognize that I have a wireless device on this machine | 03:35 |
| BenMcLean | which i found out from nmcli | 03:35 |
| holstein | BenMcLean: well, you would first need to determine if its a permisions error | 03:35 |
| holstein | BenMcLean: when you say "wifi access points are greyed out", that doesnt sound to me like it doesnt recognize your device | 03:35 |
| BenMcLean | here's the results from running lspci http://pastebin.com/bupAsWcF | 03:43 |
| BenMcLean | i could be misidentifying something but it doesn't look like wireless is on there | 03:43 |
| BenMcLean | which is odd, because i installed linux using the wifi | 03:44 |
| BenMcLean | cat /proc/net/dev has lo: and eth0: | 03:48 |
| BenMcLean | what is the "lo" ? | 03:49 |
| holstein | BenMcLean: if it were me? i would hook it up wired... check for and apply all upgrades.. reboot, and see if the wifi is there | 03:49 |
| holstein | BenMcLean: lo = loopback | 03:49 |
| BenMcLean | ah | 03:49 |
| BenMcLean | already tried that holstein | 03:49 |
| BenMcLean | no wait | 03:49 |
| BenMcLean | how check for upgrades | 03:49 |
| BenMcLean | its plugged in wired now | 03:49 |
| holstein | BenMcLean: however you check.. the update manger.. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ..whatever you do | 03:50 |
| holstein | might be a kernel upgrade that "fixes" it.. | 03:50 |
| BenMcLean | found update manager aleady nvm thx | 03:50 |
| holstein | sure.. but you need to run it.. upgrade, and reboot into the newer kernel | 03:51 |
| BenMcLean | it says no updates to install | 03:51 |
| BenMcLean | rebooting anyhow | 03:51 |
| holstein | also, if its not showing in lspci, that makes me think its off... by the switch, or in the bios | 03:52 |
| BenMcLean | just checked bios. no | 03:54 |
| BenMcLean | i have not found any wifi switch on this machine | 03:55 |
| BenMcLean | interesting ... now it's saying "waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration" during boot | 03:55 |
| BenMcLean | now it says booting system without full network configuration | 03:56 |
| holstein | well, that doesnt matter to much, though it is annoying | 03:57 |
| BenMcLean | now network menu is completely disabled. says "network manager not running" | 03:58 |
| holstein | BenMcLean: i would run live CD's til everything works | 03:58 |
| holstein | i usually use those as a tool... otherwise, i would run the 12.10 live CD, run lspci.. and search "ubuntu 12.04 that model card" | 03:59 |
| BenMcLean | so basically, reinstall lubuntu. AGAIN. | 03:59 |
| holstein | thats not what i said.. or meant to implay | 03:59 |
| holstein | imply* | 03:59 |
| holstein | im just saying, i dont have enough information to help you.. since the wifi device is not even showing up now | 04:00 |
| holstein | booting a 12.10 live CD would tell you a few things.. is the wifi card still functioning properly? and what is the lspci output? | 04:00 |
| BenMcLean | this netbook has no optical drive. have to use usb. | 04:01 |
| holstein | sure.. substitute 'CD" for however you boot isos | 04:01 |
| holstein | i use USB mostly as well | 04:01 |
| BenMcLean | k well i'll see what i can do. thx and bye for now. :) | 04:07 |
| chromeprob | i installed the latest chrome Version 23.0.1271.64 on 12.04 and the macromedia flash does not appear in plugins! what gives? | 04:30 |

| cdoublejj | i need help removing grub fro my windows install/ssd | 20:32 |
| hasturanhost | Hi, couldn't resume from suspend in 12.10 and now the task bar isn't displaying... had an error referring to apportcheckresume. Any help'd be appreciated! | 21:03 |
| cdoublejj | got it al lsorted out | 21:36 |
| cdoublejj | last night issues were caused by having more than hdd hooked up and not formatting thedrive before install | 21:37 |
| MroiZo | Hi everybody, can any one help me with a kinda odd problem? I have an external keyboard plugged into my laptop running lubuntu 12.10, but i'm not able to type "@" and other special characters until i type something (anything) on the built in keyboard... (it's an english system, with danish keyboard, lubuntu 12.10)... everything works fine on LinuxMint but as i remember i had the same problem on Ubuntu a while back | 21:43 |
| MroiZo | I don't even know what to search for on google... | 21:44 |
| jude0 | MroiZo you have wrong layout most likely try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration | 21:54 |
| MroiZo | jude0, well that didn't work either... | 22:06 |
| jude0 | MroiZo, is it possible that the mint version has a newer kernel version than the lubuntu that you are currently running, if so, maybe just trying a newer kernel could fix it | 22:32 |
| MroiZo | I'll have a look at it tomorrow, my girlfriend tells me it's time for bed :P but thanks | 22:35 |
