| lovkesh77 | how to install driver? | 13:53 |
| lovkesh77 | can anyone help? | 13:55 |
| lovkesh77 | its urgent | 13:55 |
| GeekDude | lovkesh77: Are you using a livecd/usb, or have you already installed Xubuntu? | 13:58 |
| GeekDude | My laptop's wifi doesn't work on the LiveUSB, but it does work after installation | 13:58 |
| lovkesh77 | i have already installed it | 14:00 |
| lovkesh77 | presently i am using a wifi adapter | 14:00 |
| GeekDude | What model computer do you have? | 14:00 |
| lovkesh77 | sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer | 14:01 |
| lovkesh77 | after i typed this | 14:01 |
| lovkesh77 | my wifi adapter has also stopped working | 14:01 |
| lovkesh77 | actually i have an old dell latitude series laptop | 14:02 |
| lovkesh77 | now it shows that wifi is disabled by hardware switch | 14:03 |
| lovkesh77 | what should i do? | 14:05 |
| GeekDude | I'm not sure to be honest | 14:11 |
| GeekDude | What model computer do you have, specifically? | 14:11 |
| knome | lovkesh77, have you actually disabled the wifi by a hardware switch then? | 14:12 |
| lovkesh77 | latitude d610 | 14:12 |
| lovkesh77 | then what should i do? | 14:13 |
| knome | where did you find out you should install the package you told you installed? | 14:14 |
| akxwi-dave | Try pressing Fn +F3 to see if it turns it back on | 14:16 |
| lovkesh77 | i just googled it | 14:20 |
| lovkesh77 | fn + f3 does not seem to work | 14:21 |
| cm2 | lovkesh77: restart network-manager | 14:21 |
| cm2 | sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service | 14:22 |
| lovkesh77 | i have done it | 14:23 |
| lovkesh77 | i cant still enable wifi | 14:23 |
| lovkesh77_ | only i can use ethernet | 14:25 |
| lovkesh77_ | what should i do?? | 14:27 |
| cm2 | lovkesh77: what does "nmcli d wifi" say? | 14:27 |
| cm2 | (i'm late to this party, but it looks like you installed firmware?) | 14:28 |
| cm2 | i would reboot after that | 14:28 |
| lovkesh77_ | * SSID MODE CHAN RATE SIGNAL BARS SECURITY | 14:29 |
| lovkesh77_ | nmcli d wifi says this | 14:29 |
| cm2 | yeah there's no wireless interface | 14:30 |
| cm2 | do you know if wireless works on this machine? | 14:30 |
| lovkesh77_ | yes it works | 14:30 |
| lovkesh77_ | surely | 14:30 |
| lovkesh77_ | i have used it while using windows previously | 14:31 |
| cm2 | what does lspci tell you? | 14:31 |
| lovkesh77_ | xubuntu@xubuntu-Latitude-D610:/$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM/GMS/910GML Express Processor to DRAM Controller (rev 03) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW | 14:32 |
| cm2 | which kernel? | 14:34 |
| === Executioner` is now known as Executioner | ||
| lovkesh77_ | what does that mean? | 14:34 |
| lovkesh77_ | i am using xubuntu 15.10 | 14:35 |
| cm2 | lovkesh77_: ok; try this | 14:36 |
| cm2 | lspci -vvnn | grep -A 9 Network | 14:36 |
| cm2 | what's the output? | 14:36 |
| lovkesh77_ | xubuntu@xubuntu-Latitude-D610:~$ lspci -vvnn | grep -A 9 Network 03:03.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02) Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN Mini-PCI Card [1028:0005] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <T | 14:37 |
| cm2 | ok; and you already installed the b43 firmware. correct? | 14:40 |
| cm2 | (btw, you have a BCM4318 chip. write it down) | 14:40 |
| cm2 | you are now missing the driver. | 14:41 |
| cm2 | you need the b43 driver which you can get from here: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 | 14:41 |
| cm2 | and then read this (twice) and follow instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20STA%20drivers | 14:42 |
| cm2 | and stop installing things just because someone told you so. | 14:42 |
| lovkesh77_ | kk | 14:42 |
| cm2 | you're missing the driver that's all | 14:42 |
| cm2 | otherwise lspci would tell us which driver is in use | 14:43 |
| cm2 | follow the instructions. you'll get it going. | 14:43 |
| JeZxLee | when will proprietary AMD display driver work on 16.04 ? | 16:53 |
| pflanze | Hi. I'm looking for GPG signatures on the release images. | 16:55 |
| krytarik | pflanze: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/16.04/release/ | 17:01 |
| pflanze | Thanks! | 17:04 |
| krytarik | JeZxLee: That depends on AMD making it work with the current X server. | 17:06 |
| JeZxLee | krytarik - hope it's soon - running Win 10 on my AMD desktop and would like to install Xubuntu soon | 17:09 |
| GeekDude | I really wish X would stop crashing whenever I add or remove external monitors on my laptop | 17:14 |
| GeekDude | Maybe I should be blaming the proprietary amd drivers I'm using | 17:14 |
| stephane | Hi ! I have a question about swap... I've just installed Xubuntu 16.04LTS with a " / " " /home " and "swap" partitions and encrypt my home folder.. and just after I tried to run a ecryptfs-setup-swap and I have an error message saying: | 17:29 |
| stephane | I dont have any swap space defined.. | 17:30 |
| stephane | any reason? | 17:30 |
| stephane | and when I check on gparted I have a swap partition but "type: unknown" | 17:31 |
| suncokret | what is better for install, xubuntu 14.04 or xubuntu 16.04? | 17:35 |
| JeZxLee | there is no log viewer in Xubuntu 16.04 ? | 21:51 |
| knome | not one specifically designed for that purpose | 21:56 |
| hispeed67 | where should i go to ask questions/seek help with using a camcorder with ubuntu? | 22:33 |
| knome | #ubuntu ? | 22:34 |
| hispeed67 | trying in there too | 22:35 |
| hispeed67 | figured might find more advanced multimedia people in here. | 22:35 |
| knome | i don't know why that would be so, nonetheless you should keep questions in one channel at a time | 22:36 |
| hispeed67 | xubuntu is a multimedia distro.. so i figured it was worth a shot. | 22:37 |
| Unit193 | That's UbuntuStudio, not Xubuntu. | 22:37 |
| knome | Unit193, or maybe we don't know what we're doing (: | 22:37 |
| hispeed67 | woop. you're right. my bad.. | 22:37 |
| Unit193 | knome: Ooooh! I'll go for that one, I have no idea. ;D | 22:38 |
| pflanze | Hello. How much space does Xubuntu need? We've allocated an about 72GB partition to /, but it ran full during install. Can this be real? | 22:48 |
| knome | nope | 22:48 |
| pflanze | Well, it shows 5% free space now, but one of the error messages in /var/log/<something> that was recommended we have a look at showed "out of space" | 22:49 |
| pflanze | So, doubly odd then. | 22:49 |
| Unit193 | I have it on a disk smaller than you allocated to it.. | 22:49 |
| pflanze | So why would it fill it with 68 MB of stuff? | 22:49 |
| mikodo | MB/ | 22:49 |
| pflanze | GB | 22:49 |
| urraka | i installed it on a 10GB partition while testing | 22:49 |
| urraka | and no problems | 22:49 |
| mikodo | You sure? | 22:49 |
| pflanze | Yes, it also ran until almost the very end until it failed. | 22:50 |
| pflanze | (Using encrypted home btw.) | 22:50 |
| pflanze | (But no dmcrypt) | 22:50 |
| hispeed67 | i've installed xubuntu on 4 and 8 gig partitions.. i use separate for /home. | 22:50 |
| Unit193 | Check where the space went, perhaps du -h on /tmp/ and /var/ ? | 22:50 |
| mikodo | pflanze, Is this in a vm where the host is running out of room possibly? | 22:59 |
| pflanze | No, plain eee pc laptop. | 23:00 |
| mikodo | k | 23:00 |
| pflanze | Rebooting from the live image now. | 23:00 |
| pflanze | actually just going to reinstall. | 23:04 |
| pflanze | This time directly choosing the "install now" button. | 23:05 |
| pflanze | (No time to fiddle around and figure out what went on.) | 23:05 |
| pflanze | Could the home encryption have been the issue? | 23:09 |
| pflanze | I switched to the second screen (ctl-alt-2) and 3 etc. in the search for a login / shell prompt, which I didn't get (just blank black screens), | 23:17 |
| pflanze | then went back to screen 1 (installer in X), now the X mouse pointer is gone. | 23:18 |
| pflanze | Found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1568604 | 23:23 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1568604 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "Mouse cursor lost when unlocking with Intel graphics" [High,Confirmed] | 23:23 |
| pflanze | Now if only I could run a shell command? | 23:23 |
| pflanze | While running the installer. | 23:23 |
| gump744 | how can I change the Xubuntu XFCE menu button appearance? I know how to change themes and icons but can't find a way to do this though I have seen people who change these | 23:23 |
| urraka | gump744, right click on it, choose panel -> panel preferences, then go to items tab, select whisker menu and click the config button | 23:35 |
| urraka | that's how it works here on 16.04 at least | 23:35 |
| urraka | eh apparently you can right click it and just choose properties... | 23:38 |
| gump744 | geez how did i miss that...but how do you add a new icon? do you have to create a file somehow? | 23:40 |
| urraka | oh there's probably some dir where you can place icons, not sure about that | 23:40 |
| urraka | there's /usr/share/icons/ so i'd try in ~/.local/share/icons/ | 23:41 |
| urraka | just guessing now though | 23:42 |
| gump744 | urraka: usr/share/icons is mostly icon themes for system....three of the icon options from the whisker menu properties are in there but I can't find all the others-.local/share/icons has a few folders but its mostly google icons | 23:45 |
| gump744 | tried selecting the icons to see a path but you can't | 23:46 |
| urraka | gump744, i found a bunch of app icons in /usr/share/pixmaps/ | 23:49 |
| gump744 | thanks will have a look | 23:49 |
| gump744 | ah yep that looks like the bulk of them...so do I just find an icon online and copy it there as a png? how do I make sure the size is right? | 23:50 |
| urraka | i imagine it will get resized to fit | 23:52 |
| gump744 | thanks | 23:53 |
| pflanze | Problem: fresh install, "iwconfig" shows a network interface, but none is configured, and nm-connection-editor doesn't have anything on wireless. | 23:58 |
| pflanze | How comes? | 23:58 |
| pflanze | We didn't install the binary drivers. But given that iwconfig shows an interface...? | 23:58 |
