honestemuI recently installed Lubuntu on an ASUS X502CA. In my dorm I was able to connect to the wireless flawlessly. It was a WPA personal, I believe. Now at home, I can't seem to connect. When I attempt, it asks for the Encryption Key, but then nothing happens. Any suggestions for a fix or troubleshooting?17:49
koellhonestemu: weird thing :)17:59
honestemukoell: Yeah, I'm wondering if it's an issue with my home router. I have another laptop with Ubuntu running on it, and that works fine. Maybe the router hit some sort of device limit? We have a lot of devices connected to the same router. Any advice for troubleshooting?18:05
koellhonestemu: im sorry i cant help u with. you may try it to configure via the console. but i tihink you will get a better chance of support in the official ubuntu channel18:07
koellhonestemu: i think its not a specific problem with lubuntu itself. (i just answer your querstion because i dont like how people "idle" in these channels :))18:08
ianorlinsince both use network manager can't you try using the settings on the ubuntu laptop on the lubuntu one?18:10
ianorlinalso what kind of wireless adapter?18:11
honestemukoell: Me neither. A response, even I don't know is appreciated.18:28
alkisghonestemu: it's possible that your router's IP pool is full (too many active leases), in that case a router reset would help.18:28
honestemuianorlin: I matched the setting on the 2 laptops perfectly.18:28
honestemuianorlin: I ran an lspci and this is what I got. 02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)18:29
honestemualkisg: That's what I'm thinking. Is there a proper method for a router reset? I just unplugged it for 5 minutes.18:29
alkisghonestemu: and it still didn't work after that?18:30
honestemualkisg: Nope. Exact same results as before. I wish wireless symptoms were more apparent. After I type in the encryption key, nothing happens. It doesn't even tell me if it is trying to connect to the router.18:31
alkisgThen it might be an issue related to the Atheros driver, we've had a few issues with the Atheros drivers here as well..18:31
ianorlinif you think it is too many computer connected at a time can you try maybe shutting down some computers and then trying to connect with the laptop?18:33

SlesaHi all19:40
SlesaI am trying to switch the keyboard layout. The wiki sounds a bit... well, complicated at this point19:41
SlesaAre the plans to get a GUI for those options?19:41
ianorlinSlesa: what release it is different in 13.1019:44
SlesaIt is 13.1019:44
ianorlinon your panel does it show a keyboard indicator on the panel?19:45
Slesayes, it does. But I cannot add an input method19:46
SlesaAh, it needs the setxkbmap.19:51
ianorlindo you have keep system layouts checked?19:51
SlesaNo, it is not.19:52
ianorlindid you purge xbkeymap or something?19:56
SlesaI installed the sytem today, so everything should be default19:56
SlesaHow are the IBus settings and the setxkbmap related?19:57
Tlanlubuntu does not like my laptops uefi bios19:58
Tlananyone try the new 3.13. rc319:58
Tlanman this distro is so buggy20:01
ianorlinSlesa I wonder if an update fixed it have you run updates yet on your new system?20:02
Slesalanorlin: yes, system is uptodate. I think the problem is only that I don't know how the keyboard programs work together20:05
Tlanok i got lubuntu installed with legacy bios20:13
ianorlincongrats Tlan20:16
SlesaTlan IMHO it is the uefi that is broken20:19
Tlani dunno why it won't work with uefi20:19
Tlani got it to work with mint and xubuntu20:19
Tlani made my disk parition table GPT20:21
Tlanit still worked with legacy bios20:21
SlesaHey, this is strange. I called setxkbmap with setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps,caps:swapescape us,ru.20:25
SlesaNow I can change the settings in the keyboard switcher20:25
SlesaLet's see what happens when I reboot...20:27
Tlani installed kernel 3.13.rc320:33
SlesaIt becomes interesting... I loaded Java 7 from oracle. As it is a rpm, I used alien to convert it to deb. But the installation failed.20:52
SlesaNow I get 'E: The package jdk needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.' Unfortunately still after dpkg --configure -a20:54
Slesadpkg has parameters I never heard of (force-remove-reinstreq)20:58
