| mar77i | hello world | 08:00 |
|---|---|---|
| mar77i | what is jockey-gtk and why does it break? | 08:02 |
| highvoltage | mar77i: it detects newly installed hardware and detects whether you need any additional drivers for existing hardware | 08:08 |
| highvoltage | mar77i: what does it do? do you get an error message? those are usually safe to silence (I think there's a button that says "don't warn me again about this error" or something like that) | 08:08 |
| mar77i | yup. although the UI "this program has crashed and we want you to send an error report" wasn't too helpful. I'll try logging in again in a minute | 08:09 |
| mar77i | this being a laptop of average age surprised me that wlan didn't just work, although I guess it can be toggled through an fn key | 08:12 |
| mar77i | negative. Let's first set up wlan, so I can make the rest work a bit more comfortably. Networkmanager shows grayed out wireless connection / scan entries which can be configured but not activated. | 08:17 |
| mar77i | ip link shows a device wlan0 which is down. networkmanager seemed not to be managing that device though. | 08:18 |
| mar77i | erk | 08:21 |
| mar77i | still no wlan. tried setting it up with iwconfig, which leads to a message "SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported." | 08:38 |
| mar77i | okay. found the hardware button | 08:44 |
| mar77i | ...no updates? I hate the people I have to work with | 08:45 |
| mar77i | (obviously that doesn't mean it got updated recently but that support has been cancelled and ) | 08:48 |
| mar77i | okay. now... I haven't got the jockey error message any more, but I have no idea how I could make this laptop's dvi output work. | 09:30 |
| mar77i | xrandr is showing vga-0, dvi-i-0, tv-9 and dvi-i-1 as disconnected and an lvds-0 as connected... hmm, the release is "precise", the laptop is a maxdata thingy which doesn't look very promising | 09:32 |
| mar77i | how can I boot to rescue mode? | 11:39 |
| mar77i | there seems to be no grub menu or something | 11:39 |
