| honestemu | I recently installed lubuntu and I am getting this weird graphical bug. It happened while I was installing it as well. I'm seeing a bunch of black squares. Like things haven't rendered completely. Luckily, I knew where all of the buttons were, so I was able to complete the install. But that didn't fix it. Any idea? | 00:34 |

| Kenb | Anyone have a working driver solution in US for Roper Class 1 USB bluetooth adapter? | 14:44 |
| Kenb | <Kenb> Or a reccomendation for USB Bluetooth adapter at a low cost. | 14:44 |
| aladiah | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10785698/ | 20:46 |
| wxl | aladiah: um? | 20:49 |
| aladiah | Some one help me upgrade to the ultimate wireless driver to Lubuntu 14.10 64 bits ? this one here work for me https://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php , i already tested with http://paste.ubuntu.com/10785698/ | 20:49 |
| aladiah | Should this be the right part of the manual INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS http://paste.ubuntu.com/10785720/ | 20:50 |
| wxl | why is this the ultimate driver? | 20:52 |
| aladiah | i dont see none with yearlier release | 20:53 |
| wxl | !broadcom | 20:53 |
| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 20:53 |
| aladiah | wxl thats it is unrealistic for me . to much hi tech | 20:54 |
| aladiah | too much information | 20:54 |
| wxl | you're talking about compiling a driver | 20:55 |
| wxl | it *IS* hi tech | 20:55 |
| aladiah | i need to test if with that driver works the bluetooth | 20:55 |
| wxl | well anyways, what's your question? | 20:55 |
| aladiah | my broadcom is two in one ... blutooth and wifi. wifi works, bluetooth not | 20:55 |
| aladiah | iam sure that it is the right driver for my broadcom | 20:57 |
| wxl | just follow this section https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#A12.04_.28Precise_Pangolin.29 | 20:57 |
| aladiah | lets try | 20:57 |
| wxl | four lines and you're done | 20:57 |
| wxl | no compiling or anything else necessary | 20:57 |
| aladiah | wxl : Do you mean this 4 lines http://paste.ubuntu.com/10785753/ ? | 20:58 |
| wxl | lines 3-4,10-11 of that paste | 20:59 |
| aladiah | thanks lets try | 20:59 |
| wxl | as long as you have 12.04 or greater, you will get the same version | 21:00 |
| wxl | i.e. 6.30.223.248 | 21:00 |
| wxl | you can see all the different versions with rmadison bcmwl-kernel-source | 21:00 |
| wxl | if that doesn't work, you can either compile the driver yourself from broadcom or you can use ndiswrapper https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 21:01 |
| wxl | 1either way is certainly "technical" so i wouldn't recommend it | 21:01 |
| aladiah | wxl i should type all that commands up to point 6.x ? | 21:04 |
| wxl | aladiah: um, no, you type lines 3-4,10-11 of the last paste you sent | 21:04 |
| aladiah | wxl : my blutooth still dont work | 21:18 |
| aladiah | wxl : what it is it you another idea ? | 21:56 |
| wxl | aladiah: well i've never use broadcom for bluetooth. you might want to seek support with them directly. ultimately this is a broadcom issue not a lubuntu one. | 21:57 |
| wxl | aladiah: ndiswrapper uses the windows drivers to make it work | 21:58 |
| wxl | aladiah: none of the alternatives will be easy, per se. good luck! | 21:58 |
| aladiah | thats why i ask your help to teach me install this new driver from broadcom website | 21:59 |
| wxl | aladiah: and what i'm telling you is that we don't claim to support it per se. you should ask broadcom for further help. | 21:59 |
| wxl | aladiah: especially given what you just did essentially replicates the process of compiling that driver. sounds to me like it doesn't work. again, that's a broadcom issue. | 22:00 |
| aladiah | it works perfectly on windows. on windows i just dowloaded the driver, then execute it , done | 22:05 |
| wxl | aladiah: then you can complain at broadcom for providing less than optimal drivers for linux | 22:05 |
| aladiah | yep | 22:05 |
| aladiah | wxl but i didn t tryed their driver yet . i dont know how to install it | 22:06 |
| aladiah | for linux | 22:06 |
| wxl | aladiah: you already did is what i'm telling you | 22:06 |
| wxl | read the PRECOMPILED DRIVER section of the readme for more information there | 22:07 |
| aladiah | ok | 22:07 |
| wxl | you should also note at the very bottom of the readme they have the same exact instructions | 22:07 |
| aladiah | yes https://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README_6.30.223.248.txt | 22:09 |
| aladiah | they say ; Some distros (Ubuntu and Fedora at the least) already have a version of this driver in their repositories precompiled, | 22:10 |
| aladiah | how could i know iam using the same distro now or not ? | 22:10 |
| wxl | aladiah: and they do, and that's what you installed | 22:10 |
| aladiah | wxl : Dont you think i can put # in some of lines in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 22:14 |
| wxl | aladiah: yep, that's one way to comment things out | 22:14 |
| aladiah | remember me how to edit | 22:14 |
| aladiah | gedit doesnit ? | 22:14 |
| wxl | that's one way to do it | 22:15 |
| aladiah | lets see | 22:15 |
| aladiah | wxl : wich of this ones in blacklist could need a # before each line ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786543/ | 22:18 |
| wxl | aladiah: why do you think you need any? | 22:23 |
| aladiah | i think maybe one of those is bluetooth and it is on black list | 22:23 |
| wxl | why would that be? | 22:24 |
| aladiah | my old machine, only works with wireless when i put a # before bcm4311 line | 22:25 |
| aladiah | lololol | 22:25 |
| aladiah | on that file ... | 22:25 |
| aladiah | blacklist.conf | 22:25 |
| wxl | so at some point you got this to work on some other machine? | 22:27 |
| aladiah | bluetooth ? my old machine dont have bluetooth , only wifi | 22:28 |
| aladiah | but to make it work, i always need to put # before bcm 4311 line | 22:29 |
| aladiah | wxl : They say : Building this driver requires that your machine have the proper tools, packages, header files and libraries to build a standard kernel module. | 22:29 |
| aladiah | wxl: how can i be sure i have the proper pakacges to start build it | 22:30 |
| aladiah | ? | 22:30 |
| aladiah | wxl: they say: tar xzf <path>/hybrid-v35-nodebug-pcoem-portsrc.tar.gz , i should put something where say PATH ? | 22:33 |
| wxl | aladiah: then it's probably not related | 22:34 |
| wxl | aladiah: as for what you're asking about, i wouldn't recommend it. for one, it's already done for you and it didn't work. secondly, it's extremely complicated | 22:34 |
| aladiah | ok | 22:34 |
| aladiah | wxl do you have knowledge to do it ? | 22:35 |
| aladiah | wxl : if was your laptop , you were able to do it for yourself ? | 22:36 |
| wxl | aladiah: yes | 22:36 |
| wxl | aladiah: if i reached the point you have reached, i'd probably seek support from broadcom. | 22:36 |
| aladiah | wxl : do you want acess my machine via chrome remote acess and do it ? | 22:36 |
| wxl | aladiah: absolutely not. | 22:36 |
| aladiah | ok | 22:36 |
| aladiah | wxl : its normal when we open up the blueman , a box with a message saying Bluetooth switched off! The bluetooth must be swithec off to let the device manager work! OUT or Activate bluetooth ? | 22:39 |
| aladiah | when you open your blueman do you have this message? | 22:39 |
| wxl | aladiah: no. | 22:40 |
| wxl | aladiah: have you tried a reboot? | 22:40 |
| aladiah | if i click, activate bluetooth, the box closes and nothing happen, even if i try to reopen blueman. If i reboot, and try again, and choose OUt, then reopen blueman, and choose activate , the blueman opens up but no buttons works , except help button | 22:41 |
| wxl | aladiah: have you tried to contact broadcom? | 22:42 |
| aladiah | no yet | 22:42 |
| aladiah | but i will | 22:42 |
| wxl | you should | 22:42 |
| aladiah | what i should say them? | 22:42 |
| wxl | that you have the latest driver installed and bluetooth doesn't work and explain it further | 22:42 |
| aladiah | thats it | 22:42 |
| wxl | well i would certainly expound and be more detailed | 22:43 |
| aladiah | wxl : what you thinmk about this http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786727/ ? | 22:50 |
| wxl | aladiah: add that you installed the precompiled binary from the ubuntu repos | 22:51 |
| wxl | wait a minute | 22:51 |
| wxl | bah chatzilla | 22:52 |
| aladiah | like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786733/ i will send to https://www.broadcom.com/contact/feedback.php | 22:53 |
| wxl | hold on aladiah | 22:54 |
| aladiah | ok | 22:54 |
| wxl | aladiah: you get anything from `lspci | grep -i bluetooth`? | 22:57 |
| aladiah | let me try | 22:58 |
| aladiah | nothing | 22:58 |
| aladiah | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786784/ | 22:59 |
| wxl | what about `lsusb | grep -i bluetooth`? | 22:59 |
| aladiah | but bluetooth is not usb, it is embedded | 22:59 |
| wxl | i am aware of that | 23:00 |
| aladiah | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786800/ | 23:01 |
| aladiah | nothing | 23:01 |
| wxl | k well weird, but whatever | 23:01 |
| aladiah | i have dual boot, i tested on windows, work fine | 23:01 |
| aladiah | showld be a blueman problem ? | 23:02 |
| aladiah | isnt an alternativa app to test it ? | 23:02 |
| wxl | no, but i'm thinking the kernel doesn't see the hardware | 23:02 |
| wxl | we'vbe been looking at bcm4365 but that's the wifi chip | 23:02 |
| aladiah | why this wxl ? | 23:02 |
| wxl | the bt is a separate chip | 23:02 |
| wxl | lspci should show a separate entry for it | 23:03 |
| wxl | 1you might want to provide the whole content of lspci | 23:03 |
| aladiah | how ? | 23:03 |
| wxl | `lspci` | 23:03 |
| aladiah | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786820/ | 23:04 |
| aladiah | wxl: lspci result | 23:04 |
| wxl | yeah i see nothing there at all | 23:05 |
| wxl | maybe the card is not seated all the way or a cable is disconnected | 23:05 |
| aladiah | wxl, it works on windows | 23:05 |
| aladiah | i tested this afternoon | 23:06 |
| wxl | then i am baffled | 23:06 |
| aladiah | connected with my nokia E63 | 23:06 |
| wxl | even if it cannot understand how to work with a piece of hardware, the kernel should be able to recognize it | 23:06 |
| aladiah | Maybe it start work with the 15 version | 23:07 |
| wxl | 111what's the output of `dmesg | grep -i bluetooth`? | 23:07 |
| aladiah | some months ago ICEDTEA dont work for me . . . no one could helped me to , then an update came, and voilaaa it work | 23:07 |
| wxl | also `rfkill list all` | 23:07 |
| aladiah | wxl: results for dmesg | grep -i bluetooth : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786852/ | 23:09 |
| wxl | fascinating | 23:09 |
| aladiah | wxl: results for rfkill list all http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786860/ | 23:10 |
| wxl | weird there's no bluetooth there | 23:11 |
| aladiah | no ? | 23:11 |
| aladiah | the driver . . | 23:11 |
| aladiah | the problem is the driver . . | 23:11 |
| aladiah | doesnit ' | 23:11 |
| wxl | there's no reason to be sure of that | 23:11 |
| aladiah | because the wifi and bluetooth is the same piece of hardware doesnit ? | 23:12 |
| wxl | what about `hcitool dev`? | 23:12 |
| wxl | it's on the same card, but not on the same chip | 23:12 |
| aladiah | the driver is apropriate to wifi , but they forgot the bluetooth lololol | 23:12 |
| aladiah | what else? | 23:12 |
| wxl | you can think of it like a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich. the two components ARE seperate even though they're on the same thing. | 23:13 |
| wxl | the problem is that the bluetooth is not foudn | 23:13 |
| wxl | bluetooth ≠ wifi | 23:13 |
| wxl | totally different protocols | 23:13 |
| aladiah | yes it is different | 23:13 |
| aladiah | lolol how do you put that sign "different" ? | 23:14 |
| aladiah | its a keyword combination ? | 23:14 |
| wxl | it is if you use altgr | 23:14 |
| wxl | err compose key | 23:14 |
| wxl | 1https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey | 23:15 |
| aladiah | i dont see that sign on my keyboard | 23:15 |
| wxl | it's not | 23:15 |
| wxl | set up compose and it should be as easy as something like ralt = / | 23:15 |
| wxl | but what about `hcitool dev`? | 23:15 |
| aladiah | wxl : results for "hcitool dev" http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786924/ | 23:17 |
| aladiah | Maybe i shloud add to broadcom ticket , this past.ubuntu . . . . too doesnit ? | 23:22 |
| aladiah | wxl : look to the ticket to broadcom now, with commands yhou ask my add to it : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786973/ | 23:29 |
| aladiah | its more complete now doesn i t? | 23:29 |
| wxl | yep | 23:30 |
| wxl | good luck aladiah | 23:30 |
| wxl | please share the solution with us when you find it | 23:31 |
| wxl | you can email the mailing list | 23:31 |
| aladiah | should i included your nick too as channel lubuntu support ? | 23:31 |
| * wxl shrugs | 23:31 | |
| wxl | i doubt they'll pop into irc and ask questions :) | 23:31 |
| aladiah | but i will | 23:31 |
| aladiah | anyway, | 23:31 |
| aladiah | wxl : read the latest paragraph please http://paste.ubuntu.com/10787004/ | 23:35 |
| wxl | sure | 23:35 |
| wxl | bbl | 23:35 |
| aladiah | lets see | 23:36 |
| aladiah | wxl : you will not believe, when i submitt the ticket , the ticket is not accepted, because this: The reCAPTCHA wasn't entered correctly. Please try again. | 23:38 |
| ianorlin | aladiah: I think the driver you installed is for the wifi part of the chip | 23:38 |
| aladiah | What recaptcha, there is no re captcha . | 23:38 |
| aladiah | ianorlin, that is what i think too | 23:38 |
| ianorlin | I don't know of a broadcom bluetooth driver but I don't actually have anything bluetooth | 23:40 |
| aladiah | ok done, lets see what they have to say about it ! | 23:49 |
