| quackgyver | Hi. I just installed Lubuntu and already I'm having problems. :-/ | 01:56 |
|---|---|---|
| quackgyver | How do I scan for nearby WIFI networks? | 01:56 |
| rosemball | don't you have an wifi icon near the clock? | 01:57 |
| rosemball | otherwise, post a screenshot of your desktop into an image site and post the link here | 01:57 |
| ianorlin | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Networking | 01:58 |
| quackgyver | I do, but it doens't show a list of networks. It only gives me the following options: Ethernet Network (grayed), disconnected (grayed), VPN Connections (submenu), Enable Networking (checked checkbox), linebreak, Information (grayed), Edit (brings up a manual connection creation wizard) | 01:58 |
| quackgyver | Frankly, the menu makes no sense. | 01:58 |
| quackgyver | rosemball: Can't post a screenshot since it doesn't have any networking, unfortunately. :-/ But I think the list of options should suffice. | 01:59 |
| ianorlin | what kind of card? | 01:59 |
| rosemball | okay | 01:59 |
| quackgyver | Built-in wifi laptop card. Haven't had any problems getting it to work on Ubuntu. | 01:59 |
| rosemball | lspci and post the output in some pastebin | 01:59 |
| rosemball | also, which ubuntu version was it working | 01:59 |
| quackgyver | In fact, it worked just fine in Ubuntu before I installed Lubuntu. | 01:59 |
| rosemball | and which lubuntu version are you trying | 01:59 |
| quackgyver | 12.04 (I think?). Now I'm using 13.-something. Can't remember which version is the latest one. | 02:00 |
| quackgyver | Downloaded it today. 32-bit. | 02:00 |
| quackgyver | 12.04 = Ubuntu. 13.XX = Lubuntu. | 02:00 |
| quackgyver | Will try lspci, one sec. | 02:00 |
| quackgyver | rosemball: lspci outputs Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) | 02:02 |
| quackgyver | as network controller | 02:02 |
| quackgyver | So I take it that my experience isn't typical for lubuntu? | 02:02 |
| quackgyver | or is lubuntu just bad at UX and network management? | 02:03 |
| phillw | quackgyver: broadcom WiFi is never a lot of fun with linux. | 02:04 |
| quackgyver | Well, it worked perfectly fine with Ubuntu :-/ | 02:04 |
| quackgyver | So I figured it would in Lubuntu | 02:04 |
| quackgyver | But | 02:05 |
| quackgyver | http://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=2432&pictureid=8204 | 02:05 |
| quackgyver | Looking at this, I can def. say that my popup menu looks messed u | 02:05 |
| quackgyver | up* | 02:05 |
| quackgyver | my menu doesn't make any sense | 02:05 |
| quackgyver | Ethernet Network / disconnected / VPN Connections > / Enable Networking / Information / Exit | 02:05 |
| quackgyver | And the first two options are grayed, as well as "Information". | 02:05 |
| quackgyver | Not very clear. :-/ | 02:05 |
| Unit193 | !bcm | 02:06 |
| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 02:06 |
| quackgyver | Ugh :-/ | 02:08 |
| quackgyver | Aight, well, really appreciate all of you taking the time but I think imma drop Lubuntu. | 02:08 |
| Unit193 | I've not had a lot of problem with mine. | 02:08 |
| quackgyver | But thanks a lot anyway. Appreciate it. | 02:08 |
| rosemball | try xubuntu if you want something lighter than ubuntu | 02:09 |
| rosemball | and a little more robust than lubuntu | 02:09 |
| rosemball | and lastly, try running 'jockey' from the command line | 02:09 |
| phillw | quackgyver: If you find ubuntu 13.04 (and 13.10) work, and lubuntu does not, please do let us know. WiFi should be the same across all flavours, but there is always a chance that a file needed is missing from the manifest. | 02:10 |
| phillw | quackgyver: http://askubuntu.com/questions/315245/broadcom-bcm4311-wireless-not-recognized-in-usb-live-install-of-13-10-on-dell-64 shows that ubuntu 13.10 and ubuntu are still not getting along. This is down to the fact broadcom do not hav ean open source driver for their wifi chips... Of that decision, we can do nothing. | 02:11 |

| leszek | hi | 10:00 |
| speckmade | ist it still true that my lubuntu (13.04) doesn't use PulseAudio? | 10:46 |
| bioterror | is it running? | 10:46 |
| speckmade | ha - could have thought of that myself... :-) | 10:46 |
| leszek | :) | 10:47 |
| speckmade | seems like. | 10:47 |
| speckmade | so the wiki is wrong. | 10:47 |
| speckmade | "[tested with ... Ubuntu 12.04]" - could've seen that already. | 10:50 |
| speckmade | I'm not yet fully awake, it seems. | 10:50 |
| jellow | Hi there dialogues keep popping up telling me pcmanfm has crashed at startup , does it log to any files ? I want to find out why it is crashing. | 11:53 |
| Wednesday | what is the terminal command to execute the logout menu | 14:25 |
| Wednesday | nvm, found it | 14:28 |
| leszek | h | 15:38 |
| leszek | i | 15:38 |
| Monday | please add a keyboard shortcuts GUI in the next version, that is like a basic app | 16:53 |
| leszek | Monday: I am afraid that is not possible for 13.10 | 17:00 |
| leszek | also there seems to be no gui yet for openbox shortcuts | 17:02 |
| bobobobo | hey guys....how do I boost the headphones? I have green speaker line going to monitor for speakers....but can barely hear. I read something about pulseaudio, but that doesn't seem to even be installed. | 19:38 |
| bobobobo | all sounds are at max that I can set :) | 19:39 |
| bobobobo | is it alsa? | 19:39 |
| bioterror | yes, alsa | 19:40 |
| Unit193 | You could always install pulseaudio (and pavucontrol), just they aren't by default. | 19:42 |
| Unit193 | alsamixer is what we use for levels, but seems you already found it? | 19:42 |
| bobobobo | I am on alsamixer and they are all at 100...not sure what to do next | 19:42 |
| bobobobo | I | 19:42 |
| bobobobo | I've had this monitor on windows and mac laptop and sound was fine.....hrmmmmm | 19:43 |
| Unit193 | So try pavucontrol. | 19:43 |
| bioterror | with VLC you can go beyond 100% :D | 19:44 |
| Unit193 | 200% in the UI, and 400% with scroll wheel! :D | 19:44 |
| bobobobo | LOL | 19:44 |
| bobobobo | k, will try....told I need to restart....fun ;) | 19:44 |
| bobobobobo | k, restart didn't help, pavucontrol still says Fatal Error: Unable to connect to PulseAudio: Ok | 19:48 |
| bobobobobo | :( | 19:48 |
| bobobobobo | of course it can't connect pulseaudio is not even installed | 19:50 |
| Unit193 | ...Yeah, stupid depends with pavucontrol, should have them in there... | 19:51 |
| bobobobobo | should I install or will that dork alsa up good too :) | 19:51 |
| Unit193 | If it screws with stuff, purge it again. | 19:52 |
