[00:34] 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? [09:55] i have lubnutu 14.04 installed and preferences > language support menu is missing [09:55] how do i add it ? [11:06] i have lubnutu 14.04 installed and preferences > language support menu is missing [11:10] dan, is the package language-selector-gnome installed? [11:10] btw running gnome-language-selector does the same [11:11] no its not , installing [11:12] okay now menu is there [11:12] thanks zy3pD [11:12] np daker [11:12] *np dan [11:21] guys i have "Sinhala" in my Installed Languages , yet there is no "Sinhala" input methods on ibus ? does anyone familiar wiith this ? [11:22] dan, do you need multiple keyboard layouts? [13:36] I recently installed lubuntu and I am getting this weird graphical bug. It happened while I was installing it as well.

[14:44] Anyone have a working driver solution in US for Roper Class 1 USB bluetooth adapter? [14:44] Or a reccomendation for USB Bluetooth adapter at a low cost. [20:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10785698/ [20:49] aladiah: um? [20:49] 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/ [20:50] Should this be the right part of the manual INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS http://paste.ubuntu.com/10785720/ [20:52] why is this the ultimate driver? [20:53] i dont see none with yearlier release [20:53] !broadcom [20:53] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [20:54] wxl thats it is unrealistic for me . to much hi tech [20:54] too much information [20:55] you're talking about compiling a driver [20:55] it *IS* hi tech [20:55] i need to test if with that driver works the bluetooth [20:55] well anyways, what's your question? [20:55] my broadcom is two in one ... blutooth and wifi. wifi works, bluetooth not [20:57] iam sure that it is the right driver for my broadcom [20:57] just follow this section https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#A12.04_.28Precise_Pangolin.29 [20:57] lets try [20:57] four lines and you're done [20:57] no compiling or anything else necessary [20:58] wxl : Do you mean this 4 lines http://paste.ubuntu.com/10785753/ ? [20:59] lines 3-4,10-11 of that paste [20:59] thanks lets try [21:00] as long as you have 12.04 or greater, you will get the same version [21:00] i.e. 6.30.223.248 [21:00] you can see all the different versions with rmadison bcmwl-kernel-source [21:01] 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] 1either way is certainly "technical" so i wouldn't recommend it [21:04] wxl i should type all that commands up to point 6.x ? [21:04] aladiah: um, no, you type lines 3-4,10-11 of the last paste you sent [21:18] wxl : my blutooth still dont work [21:56] wxl : what it is it you another idea ? [21:57] 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. [21:58] aladiah: ndiswrapper uses the windows drivers to make it work [21:58] aladiah: none of the alternatives will be easy, per se. good luck! [21:59] thats why i ask your help to teach me install this new driver from broadcom website [21:59] 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. [22:00] 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. [22:05] it works perfectly on windows. on windows i just dowloaded the driver, then execute it , done [22:05] aladiah: then you can complain at broadcom for providing less than optimal drivers for linux [22:05] yep [22:06] wxl but i didn t tryed their driver yet . i dont know how to install it [22:06] for linux [22:06] aladiah: you already did is what i'm telling you [22:07] read the PRECOMPILED DRIVER section of the readme for more information there [22:07] ok [22:07] you should also note at the very bottom of the readme they have the same exact instructions [22:09] yes https://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README_6.30.223.248.txt [22:10] they say ; Some distros (Ubuntu and Fedora at the least) already have a version of this driver in their repositories precompiled, [22:10] how could i know iam using the same distro now or not ? [22:10] aladiah: and they do, and that's what you installed [22:14] wxl : Dont you think i can put # in some of lines in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [22:14] aladiah: yep, that's one way to comment things out [22:14] remember me how to edit [22:14] gedit doesnit ? [22:15] that's one way to do it [22:15] lets see [22:18] wxl : wich of this ones in blacklist could need a # before each line ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786543/ [22:23] aladiah: why do you think you need any? [22:23] i think maybe one of those is bluetooth and it is on black list [22:24] why would that be? [22:25] my old machine, only works with wireless when i put a # before bcm4311 line [22:25] lololol [22:25] on that file ... [22:25] blacklist.conf [22:27] so at some point you got this to work on some other machine? [22:28] bluetooth ? my old machine dont have bluetooth , only wifi [22:29] but to make it work, i always need to put # before bcm 4311 line [22:29] 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. [22:30] wxl: how can i be sure i have the proper pakacges to start build it [22:30] ? [22:33] wxl: they say: tar xzf /hybrid-v35-nodebug-pcoem-portsrc.tar.gz , i should put something where say PATH ? [22:34] aladiah: then it's probably not related [22:34] 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] ok [22:35] wxl do you have knowledge to do it ? [22:36] wxl : if was your laptop , you were able to do it for yourself ? [22:36] aladiah: yes [22:36] aladiah: if i reached the point you have reached, i'd probably seek support from broadcom. [22:36] wxl : do you want acess my machine via chrome remote acess and do it ? [22:36] aladiah: absolutely not. [22:36] ok [22:39] 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] when you open your blueman do you have this message? [22:40] aladiah: no. [22:40] aladiah: have you tried a reboot? [22:41] 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 [22:42] aladiah: have you tried to contact broadcom? [22:42] no yet [22:42] but i will [22:42] you should [22:42] what i should say them? [22:42] that you have the latest driver installed and bluetooth doesn't work and explain it further [22:42] thats it [22:43] well i would certainly expound and be more detailed [22:50] wxl : what you thinmk about this http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786727/ ? [22:51] aladiah: add that you installed the precompiled binary from the ubuntu repos [22:51] wait a minute [22:52] bah chatzilla [22:53] like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786733/ i will send to https://www.broadcom.com/contact/feedback.php [22:54] hold on aladiah [22:54] ok [22:57] aladiah: you get anything from `lspci | grep -i bluetooth`? [22:58] let me try [22:58] nothing [22:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786784/ [22:59] what about `lsusb | grep -i bluetooth`? [22:59] but bluetooth is not usb, it is embedded [23:00] i am aware of that [23:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786800/ [23:01] nothing [23:01] k well weird, but whatever [23:01] i have dual boot, i tested on windows, work fine [23:02] showld be a blueman problem ? [23:02] isnt an alternativa app to test it ? [23:02] no, but i'm thinking the kernel doesn't see the hardware [23:02] we'vbe been looking at bcm4365 but that's the wifi chip [23:02] why this wxl ? [23:02] the bt is a separate chip [23:03] lspci should show a separate entry for it [23:03] 1you might want to provide the whole content of lspci [23:03] how ? [23:03] `lspci` [23:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786820/ [23:04] wxl: lspci result [23:05] yeah i see nothing there at all [23:05] maybe the card is not seated all the way or a cable is disconnected [23:05] wxl, it works on windows [23:06] i tested this afternoon [23:06] then i am baffled [23:06] connected with my nokia E63 [23:06] even if it cannot understand how to work with a piece of hardware, the kernel should be able to recognize it [23:07] Maybe it start work with the 15 version [23:07] 111what's the output of `dmesg | grep -i bluetooth`? [23:07] some months ago ICEDTEA dont work for me . . . no one could helped me to , then an update came, and voilaaa it work [23:07] also `rfkill list all` [23:09] wxl: results for dmesg | grep -i bluetooth : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786852/ [23:09] fascinating [23:10] wxl: results for rfkill list all http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786860/ [23:11] weird there's no bluetooth there [23:11] no ? [23:11] the driver . . [23:11] the problem is the driver . . [23:11] doesnit ' [23:11] there's no reason to be sure of that [23:12] because the wifi and bluetooth is the same piece of hardware doesnit ? [23:12] what about `hcitool dev`? [23:12] it's on the same card, but not on the same chip [23:12] the driver is apropriate to wifi , but they forgot the bluetooth lololol [23:12] what else? [23:13] 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] the problem is that the bluetooth is not foudn [23:13] bluetooth ≠ wifi [23:13] totally different protocols [23:13] yes it is different [23:14] lolol how do you put that sign "different" ? [23:14] its a keyword combination ? [23:14] it is if you use altgr [23:14] err compose key [23:15] 1https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey [23:15] i dont see that sign on my keyboard [23:15] it's not [23:15] set up compose and it should be as easy as something like ralt = / [23:15] but what about `hcitool dev`? [23:17] wxl : results for "hcitool dev" http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786924/ [23:22] Maybe i shloud add to broadcom ticket , this past.ubuntu . . . . too doesnit ? [23:29] wxl : look to the ticket to broadcom now, with commands yhou ask my add to it : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10786973/ [23:29] its more complete now doesn i t? [23:30] yep [23:30] good luck aladiah [23:31] please share the solution with us when you find it [23:31] you can email the mailing list [23:31] should i included your nick too as channel lubuntu support ? [23:31] * wxl shrugs [23:31] i doubt they'll pop into irc and ask questions :) [23:31] but i will [23:31] anyway, [23:35] wxl : read the latest paragraph please http://paste.ubuntu.com/10787004/ [23:35] sure [23:35] bbl [23:36] lets see [23:38] 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] aladiah: I think the driver you installed is for the wifi part of the chip [23:38] What recaptcha, there is no re captcha . [23:38] ianorlin, that is what i think too [23:40] I don't know of a broadcom bluetooth driver but I don't actually have anything bluetooth [23:49] ok done, lets see what they have to say about it !
