| LinusTorvaldII | forthewin: | 00:09 |
| ForTheWin | LinusTorvaldII: | 00:10 |
| LinusTorvaldII | if u hard wire the computer to the internet during the install of ubuntu, the driver will almost always come in right then. | 00:10 |
| LinusTorvaldII | it is very difficult to do otherwise | 00:10 |
| LinusTorvaldII | unless ur experienced with buntu | 00:10 |
| ForTheWin | LinusTorvaldII: okay, the laoptop is currently at a no internet house, gonna have to take it somewhere with wifi, thank you for the suggestion, seems the simplest way | 00:10 |
| LinusTorvaldII | by far | 00:11 |
| ForTheWin | i mean take it somewhere with an ethernet | 00:11 |
| LinusTorvaldII | but again hav eit hard wired via CAT5 or 6 | 00:11 |
| LinusTorvaldII | then boot it and install BOOM done | 00:11 |
| LinusTorvaldII | it does it for you | 00:11 |
| LinusTorvaldII | i once tried doing it the hard way...i tired it on ubuntu and once on puppy...id rather have all my teeth refilled than do that again-i will never do it again. | 00:13 |
| ForTheWin | LinuxTorvaldII: sounds good. I will do exactly that. | 00:13 |
| LinusTorvaldII | 10-4 | 00:13 |
| ForTheWin | i mean the cat5 way, not the tooth invasion | 00:14 |
| LinusTorvaldII | hehe | 00:14 |
| ForTheWin | did you end up with proprietary or open source drivers? | 00:14 |
| LinusTorvaldII | i really dont recall | 00:14 |
| ianorlin | that depends which one you have | 00:14 |
| LinusTorvaldII | i seem to recall simply clicking on the network icon and entering in my network password and that was it | 00:15 |
| LinusTorvaldII | after the hard wire install i mean | 00:15 |
| LinusTorvaldII | i have 3 laptops and i go back and forth on what OS i have in them, a few times even dual boot and it worked on all 3 perfect...and i did it with several types of buntu too. | 00:16 |
| ForTheWin | thank you good to know that. was wondering if lubuntu had a shortcoming. does lubuntu work with usb tethering? | 00:20 |
| ianorlin | I don't know | 00:24 |
| koell | ForTheWin: yes it is working out of the box with tethering | 00:27 |
| koell | i use it with my nexus 4 and also with wicd-curses :3 | 00:28 |
| ForTheWin | koell: ok thank you then i can use my phone to give lubuntu internet | 00:42 |
