| tachibana | i keep getting random crashes on youtube | 00:11 |
|---|---|---|
| tachibana | ever since an update a long time ago | 00:11 |
| tachibana | and restarting doesnt help | 00:11 |
| tachibana | and its not just youtube sometimes and this is on firefox | 00:11 |
| redwolf | have you tested it in other browsers? | 00:19 |
| redwolf | also, have you installed restricted extras? | 00:20 |
| Isaac | so is this the right place to ask if the wifi card in the acer aspire E 15 is supported now? | 00:27 |
| redwolf | I guess, so, Isaac, but I'm not very into the network issues | 00:27 |
| redwolf | BUT I have an Acer Aspire E1 under my hands right now, and everything works fine | 00:28 |
| Isaac | no additional steps were needed? | 00:28 |
| redwolf | no | 00:28 |
| redwolf | Acer uses Intel standard cards so drivers are already in the kernel | 00:29 |
| Isaac | because I am enjoying lubunut, thanks for that but without wlan it kinda defeates most of it´s usefulness outside of my room | 00:29 |
| redwolf | I'm using wlan | 00:29 |
| redwolf | it detected my home network automatically and everything worked fine | 00:29 |
| Isaac | well this one uses a Qualcomm Atheros device | 00:30 |
| redwolf | any of these? http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/make/Qualcomm%20Atheros/ | 00:31 |
| redwolf | setting in WPA mode should work | 00:32 |
| Isaac | cant tell since I it only gives me the brand name, iconfig seems to need the driver to be able to tell what it is (lol) | 00:34 |
| redwolf | try with hardinfo | 00:34 |
| redwolf | or System Information in the menu | 00:35 |
| Isaac | "Qualcomm Atheros Device 0042 (rev 30)" is all it gives me there as well | 00:36 |
| redwolf | it should work | 00:37 |
| Isaac | I hope so but in this case it obviously does not | 00:39 |
| Isaac | even installed a wlan network manager to make it more viewable but nothing there either | 00:40 |
| redwolf | it's odd. have you tried with other versions? 14.04 LTS? | 00:40 |
| Isaac | nope | 00:41 |
| Isaac | since a similiar device from other acer products is listed as non supported as well I dont assume some old version is going to fix it | 00:42 |
| redwolf | no, right | 00:42 |
| redwolf | sorry, I told you, I can't be really helpful with hardware. have you tried in askubuntu.com? | 00:43 |
| Isaac | no, I thought I´d try it here first | 00:44 |
| redwolf | sorry | 00:47 |
| Isaac | "There is no driver for this device in the current kernel. – mark kirby Oct 14 2015" that doesnt sound all that good | 00:47 |
| redwolf | :( | 00:47 |
| redwolf | there's a way to use Windows drivers in some weird way, in the Proprietary Drivers tab (Software Properties) | 00:47 |
| redwolf | but I never used that | 00:48 |
| Isaac | well either way I hope network drivers get some love quickly(dunno the priority of that kind of "bug") | 00:48 |
| redwolf | yes, me too | 00:49 |
| Isaac | leave a question open for me: does stuff like drivers get update through the regular update channels or are these only pushed out with big releases? | 00:50 |
| redwolf | no, regular updates. sometimes, when a new kernel revision appears, you get the upgrade | 00:50 |
