[16:29] <regum> hi everyone
[16:30] <regum> how can I connect to a wifi with wpa without installing lubuntu, xubuntu etc?
[16:30] <rbasak> regum: install wpasupplicant
[16:31] <k1l> or use nmcli
[16:31] <regum> rbasak, is that the only way? I tried that
[16:31] <regum> it doens't work
[16:31] <rbasak> regum: then read /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.Debian.gz
[16:31] <rbasak> Ultimately everything else uses wpasupplicant anyway
[16:32] <rbasak> Raspbian as shipped by the Pi Foundation uses ifplugd and wpasupplicant together
[16:32] <k1l> the question is: is it not working because you cant setup it up/use it, or is the hardware not working?
[16:32] <rbasak> Or you can just use wpa-* lines in e/tc/network/interfaces which is managed by the ifupdown plugin supplied by the wpasupplicant package.
[16:32] <rbasak> Or you can use Network Manager as k1l says.
[16:33] <rbasak> I think there's a fancy curses-style interface that doesn't need Network Manager as well, but I forget what that's called.
[16:33] <regum> The thing is that ubuntu arm finds a wifi dongle with lsusb
[16:33] <k1l> rbasak: wicd?
[16:33] <regum> but when I install a gui to configure it, it stops detecting it
[16:34] <k1l> regum: ah usb wifi dongle. so make sure you got the right modul loaded for the specific chip on it
[16:34]  * ogra_ always just uses /etc/network/interfaces ... 
[16:34] <rbasak> k1l: that might be it, thanksk.
[16:35] <regum> yes, it's not like lubuntu uninstalls the driver does nit?
[18:01] <regum> hello
