[00:42] <ironhoof> Hey I just installed xubuntu 16.04 on my netbook, it installs fine, updated and now it just sits on recovering journal, after I had hard reset it. It was just a blank screen before that. There is also a nomodeset on my kernel so its not that
[00:43] <ironhoof> Anyone know whats going on?

[04:25] <nu7shell> Hi
[05:01] <nikolam> I turned off lightdm with ' echo "manual" | sudo tee -a /etc/init/lightdm.override ' to save RAM, for thinking to use it as smallish web server
[05:01] <nikolam> maybe I should just uninstall desktop parts (12.04LTS)...
[05:02] <nikolam> Or reinstall newest LTS with minimal install
[05:03] <nikolam> Thinking of getting rid of Pulseaudio and how to have network working, without need to run NetworkManager (also so save some RAM)
[05:05] <nikolam> On plus side newest server brings ZFS by default. On minus side it's smallish 512MB machine
[07:42] <xubuntu87w> Hello I have installed xubuntu and my WiFi is not working.  Model is 802AIN2 what do I need to do to get it working?
[07:56] <xubuntu87w> Is there more information about the wireless adapter I'm using I need to give?
[08:02] <xubuntu87w> Is anyone able to help me please?
[08:22] <xubuntu87w> Can somebody help me please?

[20:46] <xubuntu48> Hello I have installed Xubuntu and my WiFi is not working. Model of wireless usb adapter is 802AIN2, what can I do to get it working?
[20:53] <xubuntu95w> Yo guys, is there anyone around feeling like giving some basic help?
[20:54] <flocculant> xubuntu95w: just ask the question - if someone awake can answer they will
[20:54] <ax562> xubuntu95w check for drivers
[20:58] <xubuntu95w> I have a problem with Xubuntu installation from a bootable USB Drive and a DVD. No matter which one I choose it doesn't go through the "Boot from CD/DVD" or just hangs with the underscore. Downloaded twice already, created bootable USB with both Rufus and Unetbootin, any ideas?
[21:00] <ax562> xubuntu48w check for drivers
[21:05] <xubuntu48> ax562 no drivers that i know of to download. When it is plugged into windows its listed as cd drive and has .exe file to install drivers for windows from it.
[21:06] <ax562> so works on windows?
[21:06] <xubuntu48> ax562 Yeah not sure how to it working on Linux though.
[21:07] <xubuntu48> Get*
[21:07] <ax562> check the model and manifacturer and look up linux driver download
[21:08] <knome> atheros dongles don't have the best support for linux..
[21:10] <xubuntu48> I have, Model 802AIN2. There doesnt seem to be any driver downloads because it comes with it on it.
[21:11] <knome> yes, the windows driver
[21:12] <xubuntu48> What can i do with the windows driver?
[21:12] <knome> not much on linux
[21:12] <knome> as i said, dongles with an atheros chip have bad support on linux
[21:13] <xubuntu48> Oh i would really like to use Linux, so hopefully there is a way. If you don't think its possible to get it working let me know, since you said this adapter has bad linux Support
[21:14] <knome> do you have any chance to try another adapter?
[21:16] <ax562> or wired ethernet port connection?
[21:16] <xubuntu48> I have another i could plug in but its a big problem and bricks the computer, makes it completely freeze.
[21:16] <knome> wired != wireless, but sure, that's also an option
[21:16] <knome> xubuntu48, that's probably not a good idea either then ;)
[21:16] <knome> what about a third one O:)
[21:18] <xubuntu48> I can still plug it in if need to download stuff, but it will eventually freeze the computer. Sadly i dont have a third one
[21:19] <knome> just to explain why support is often bad; the hardware manufacturers do not share the specs on how their hardware works, so it's impossible to create linux drivers for the devices without reverse-engineering, which takes a lot of time (and means a developer with that time has to have that device and the motivation to make it work)
[21:19] <knome> with often cheap usb dongles it's often too easy to just buy a new one rather than try to reverse-engineer anything
[21:20] <xubuntu48> Okay yeah
[21:21] <xubuntu48> I have a few extra routers if i could somehow use that as wifi? lol
[21:25] <knome> you probably could with some soldering, but it's probably worth it, again considering how (relatively) cheap usb dongles are
[21:28] <xubuntu48> Oh thought it might be easy then that. Well i guess ill have to wait until i can get a new one or something. Thank you for your help, and you too ax562
[21:29] <knome> np, and before you get the new one, search a bit in the internet about compatibility :)
[21:29] <ax562> :)
[21:29] <xubuntu48> Ok :)  bye
[21:43] <pavlushka> xubuntu48: I think you should post this issue to ubuntuforum or askubuntu

[21:53] <knome> pavlushka, first, they are gone already; second, that wouldn't help if there isn't any support for his devide
