[00:11] i keep getting random crashes on youtube [00:11] ever since an update a long time ago [00:11] and restarting doesnt help [00:11] and its not just youtube sometimes and this is on firefox [00:19] have you tested it in other browsers? [00:20] also, have you installed restricted extras? [00:27] so is this the right place to ask if the wifi card in the acer aspire E 15 is supported now? [00:27] I guess, so, Isaac, but I'm not very into the network issues [00:28] BUT I have an Acer Aspire E1 under my hands right now, and everything works fine [00:28] no additional steps were needed? [00:28] no [00:29] Acer uses Intel standard cards so drivers are already in the kernel [00:29] 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] I'm using wlan [00:29] it detected my home network automatically and everything worked fine [00:30] well this one uses a Qualcomm Atheros device [00:31] any of these? http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/make/Qualcomm%20Atheros/ [00:32] setting in WPA mode should work [00:34] 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] try with hardinfo [00:35] or System Information in the menu [00:36] "Qualcomm Atheros Device 0042 (rev 30)" is all it gives me there as well [00:37] it should work [00:39] I hope so but in this case it obviously does not [00:40] even installed a wlan network manager to make it more viewable but nothing there either [00:40] it's odd. have you tried with other versions? 14.04 LTS? [00:41] nope [00:42] 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] no, right [00:43] sorry, I told you, I can't be really helpful with hardware. have you tried in askubuntu.com? [00:44] no, I thought I´d try it here first [00:47] sorry [00:47] "There is no driver for this device in the current kernel. – mark kirby Oct 14 2015" that doesnt sound all that good [00:47] :( [00:47] there's a way to use Windows drivers in some weird way, in the Proprietary Drivers tab (Software Properties) [00:48] but I never used that [00:48] well either way I hope network drivers get some love quickly(dunno the priority of that kind of "bug") [00:49] yes, me too [00:50] 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] no, regular updates. sometimes, when a new kernel revision appears, you get the upgrade [14:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12999208/ if anyone wants to help me w/ my vnc setup [16:31] hi === mgodzilla is now known as mhuman === mhuman is now known as mgodzilla
