Guest67565i just installed 14.04 version yesterday,and after that i saw that there is no wifi option available..so can i install the required drivers in windows laptop from net and after that can i transfer in ubuntu via pendrive?06:19
nhainesThis isn't the right place to ask support questions.  #ubuntu is better for that.  But just as a general rule, it's often good to have your laptop connected to the Internet via Ethernet while installing Ubuntu, because occasionally it can install additional wifi drivers that way.06:19
Kilosty nhaines  06:19
nhainesRight now, your best bet is to go to the dash, search for "Additional Drivers", and check there to see if there are wifi drivers available for your hardare.06:20
nhaineshardware.06:20
Guest67565there it nothing shows 06:20
nhainesThen there may be no wireless drivers for your hardware.  We'd need to know the exact chipset model to verify that.06:22
nhainesYou can search askubuntu.com for more information on your hardware, or ask in #ubuntu for further assistance.06:22
nhaines!support06:22
ubot5The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org and http://askubuntu.com06:22
Guest67565so can i install the required drivers in windows laptop from net and after that can i transfer in ubuntu via pendrive?06:23
nhainesNo.  You need Ubuntu drivers, and they are either activated automatically or available from the Additional Drivers window.06:23
geniiThis is not the support channel06:24
Guest67565so what i should do now06:24
geniiAre you unable to join the support channel?06:24
nhaines23:22 < nhaines> You can search askubuntu.com for more information on your hardware, or ask in #ubuntu for further assistance.06:25
Guest67565ok06:25
geniiGuest67565: You should /join #ubuntu ..and ask there06:25
Guest67565how can i do that?06:25
nhainesType "/join #ubuntu"06:26
Guest67565where?06:26
geniiwhere youy're typing now06:26
Guest67565"/join #ubuntu"06:28
nhainesYou've got it.  No quotes this time.06:29
Kilosshame06:35
Kilossorry for trying support here nhaines  06:35
geniiheh06:35
nhainesIt's okay.  We all want to help. :)06:35
Kiloshi genii  i dont know why he does plug his broadband connection into the ubuntu lappy06:36
nhainesThe problem is that if users learn that they can come in here for support, well, it'll just grow and grow, and even though this channel isn't busy, it would be disruptive.  :)06:36
nhainesThat's why since you already offered support, I tried to give him a couple of pointers before kicking him over to the actual support channel.  :)06:36
Kilossome of the locos in africa have given this channel as a support channel06:36
Kilosthats why i asked where he was06:37
geniiOdd, that06:37
nhainesWell tell them to stop it.  :)06:37
nhainesAnyone with any LoCo question at all is in the right place.06:37
nhainesWifi questions, not so much.  ;)06:37
Kilosthey are the dead ones in still trying to find06:37
Kilosi dont even get email replies from them06:38
nhainesWell, with any luck new members will step in someday, if the old ones don't return.06:40
Kilosi will find odd ubuntu users and revive them06:41
Kilosmany have just joined lugs06:41
Kilosoh thats why i asked him where he was so i could point him to a better channel06:42
Kilossorry guys06:42
nhainesNo, that was the right thing to do.  :)06:43
nhainesJust have to show a little tough love to push them into the right channels even when they still try to get support here.  :)06:43
Kiloslol :)06:43
nhainesBut I've been doing paid tech support for like 19 years now so I'm a pro at that.  ;)06:44
Kiloshahaha06:45
genii"your CD needs to be manually fed? Are you sure it's not a 5 and a quarterter floppy drive?"06:46
genii\( I had this happen )06:46
Kiloslol06:49
Kilosi battle to even learn to understand pcs, because i only started using them late in life and after being to the happy hunting grounds snd the za guys were very kind and patient with me and got me to where i am today06:51
