[05:52] <JoeGibken> Hi! I just installed Ubuntu Studio 12.04.3 64bit on a Lenovo laptop
[05:52] <JoeGibken> But I can't seem to make it detect wifi or lan internet
[05:52] <JoeGibken> How do I troubleshoot this?
[05:52] <JoeGibken> I tried googling the same problem but none of them works
[05:52] <JoeGibken> Any help is much appreciated
[06:07] <yeahnoob> at first, you should check your notebook's product model. Find its wifi/lan card hardware model and google its name with "linux".
[06:16] <JoeGibken> I take that back, Wifi now works when I used the newer updated kernel
[06:17] <JoeGibken> Now, the LAN cable internet does not detect it
[06:17] <JoeGibken> Thanks for the advice yeahnoob :) Appreciate it
[06:17] <JoeGibken> lemme google the hardware
[06:17] <JoeGibken> this is my fiance's laptop - http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/essential/g-series/g480/index.html#techspecs
[06:18] <JoeGibken> Is there any other way to detect its LAN?
[06:18] <JoeGibken> Lemme try to google that first
[06:19] <JoeGibken> Okay.... - http://www.linlap.com/lenovo_g480
[06:21] <yeahnoob> en...that web page  show the solution. " Wireless works"
[07:44] <JoeGibken> yeahnoob: Wireless is not the problem you see, the LAN cable internet is the problem
[07:53] <XRS1> open a terminal and type lspci     what kind of network chip is it?
[07:57] <JoeGibken> Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wirless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[08:14] <wilee-nilee> !Broadcom
[08:14] <wilee-nilee> JoeGibken, ^^
[08:24] <XRS1> thats wifi
[08:24] <XRS1> whats the ethernet?
[08:28] <JoeGibken> XRS1: Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR8162 Fast Ethernet (rev 10)
[08:32] <XRS1> oopen a terminal and paste this: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6-quantal-generic
[08:35] <XRS1> which version of ubuntu studio are you running? 12.04?
[08:37] <XRS1> im seeing forum posts about this problem being fixed in ver. 13.xx
[09:17] <JoeGibken> I'm using 12.04.3
[09:17] <JoeGibken> XRS1: Is it advisable that I should just install 13.x?
[09:20] <XRS1> in your case it seems so. id give it a try.  from what im seeing, thats the easiest fix
[09:21] <XRS1> id suggest 13.04. 13.10 isnt quite ready for primetime yet (still in beta testing and has a few issues that still need ironing out)
[09:23] <JoeGibken> Would it be alright to ask when is the end of life of 13.04?
[09:23] <JoeGibken> You see, my fiance, not me that will be using it
[09:25] <cfhowlett> !13.04
[09:26] <XRS1> January 2014
[09:26] <cfhowlett> JoeGibken, if you're concerned about long-life; install LTS Ubuntu: 5 year support
[09:26] <XRS1> then you wanna help him with his ethernet?
[09:27] <cfhowlett> XRS1, sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*t MY ethernet isn't even working at the moment!
[09:28] <XRS1> well thats not good
[09:29] <cfhowlett> XRS1, it'll be something simple switch that I flipped.  My system seems to be pretty bulletproof since I went to LTS only

[22:29] <ubuntu-studio> hi, I know I rather late coming to the party...  but just loaded up beta 2 in virtualbox and find that the audio does not work at all, is this a known issue?
[22:30] <XRS1> not that i have heard of
[22:30] <XRS1> open a terminal and type alsamixer
[22:31] <XRS1> make sure its using the right sound card, nothing is muted or turned down
[22:31] <ubuntu-studio> ok, checking
[22:31] <XRS1> if not, type lspci and find out what audio its got installed
[22:38] <ubuntu-studio> hmm, there is sound but it's very broken.  first is that the Speaker Icon next to the clock shows  <|---    i.e. zero volume, then clicking on the speaker  displays an empty drop down menu with no entries.  using sox play a sin wave I get sound but only chopped stutters  and WARN alsa: under-run  errors, alsamixer looks okay
[22:40] <XRS1> what version studio are you running?
[22:41] <ubuntu-studio> live cd, 13.10 beta 2 i386
[22:42] <XRS1> the volume indicator is broken in 13.10
[22:42] <XRS1> what are you using for playback?
[22:44] <ubuntu-studio> playback...  you mean what audio program?   I'm testing with SOX PLAY to generate a sin wave.   okay, so broken volume control is a known issue.
[22:45] <XRS1> try editing your BIOS settings and if the audio is set to HD, try changing to AC'97 . If your listening with vlc, try changing the output codec to alsa.
[22:51] <ubuntu-studio> THANKS FOR THE HELP   got it working now.
[22:56] <XRS1> nice
