| mifritscher | moin | 16:49 |
| mifritscher | I switched from gnome flashback (compizz) to xfce4 | 16:49 |
| mifritscher | on a nearly fresh ubuntu 16.04 | 16:50 |
| mifritscher | generally it worked well, but following issues: | 16:50 |
| mifritscher | the touchscreen isn't working | 16:50 |
| mifritscher | the interesting thing is that xinput disable 10; xinput enable 10 helps | 16:51 |
| mifritscher | but only for about 10 seconds | 16:51 |
| mifritscher | how can I debug this? | 16:52 |
| xubuntu227 | hi there | 17:33 |
| xubuntu227 | I'm sébastien from french new caledonia | 17:34 |
| xubuntu227 | I'm installing xubuntu 14.04 LTS and the wifi doesn't work | 17:34 |
| xubuntu227 | the computer is a msi CR61 | 17:35 |
| Spass | hello Sébastien, why 14.04 and not 16.04? | 17:35 |
| xubuntu227 | because I had the same issue on my older computer on 16.04 but the wifi works with 14.04 wich is very surprising | 17:36 |
| xubuntu227 | on this laptop none of the 2 versions make the wifi reliable | 17:37 |
| mrkramps | it is not surprising depeinding on wifi chipset | 17:37 |
| xubuntu227 | you understood very fast I do not understand a lot of things about all that ;o) | 17:38 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu227, pls show output of command 'lspci -nnk | grep -i net -A2' in a paste service | 17:38 |
| xubuntu227 | wich is very surprising is that my wifi doesn't work any longer on my older computer since I tried a live usb of 16.04 on it | 17:39 |
| xubuntu227 | 01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723AE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:8723] Subsystem: AzureWave Device [1a3b:2114] Kernel driver in use: rtl8723ae 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet [1969:1091] (rev 10) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Device [1462:10f7] Kernel driver in use: alx | 17:40 |
| mrkramps | paste service | 17:40 |
| mrkramps | and yeah, there's nothing suprising about bad driver support for realtek chipsets | 17:41 |
| xubuntu227 | sorry I can't understand what you mean. Perhaps because of my english | 17:41 |
| xubuntu227 | what else should I past | 17:41 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu227, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastebin | 17:41 |
| mrkramps | for example: https://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 17:42 |
| xubuntu227 | Thanks. I tried it. I did past into . What should I do then ? Copy ? and paste there ? | 17:45 |
| mrkramps | press "paste!" and copy the URL to irc | 17:46 |
| xubuntu227 | https://paste.ubuntu.com/23538691/ | 17:47 |
| xubuntu227 | that's it ? | 17:47 |
| mrkramps | yay, the first basic step \o/ | 17:47 |
| mrkramps | =D | 17:47 |
| xubuntu227 | learning still learning... ;o) | 17:48 |
| mrkramps | ok, so your wifi is currently working on 14.04? | 17:49 |
| xubuntu227 | not on this laptop. On the other computer but only on a live session since I tried 16.04. But I only want to make this laptop reliable for the moment. On 14.04 unless you are sure it would be better to install 16.04. | 17:50 |
| xubuntu227 | If this is it I must stop and start another installation later on | 17:51 |
| mrkramps | well, the simple point of all this is the very unstable support of realtek wifi chipsets and there is absolutely no guarantee how long such a device is working reliable | 17:52 |
| mrkramps | it might happen it is not working on 16.04 NOW, but will change with the next kernel update | 17:52 |
| mrkramps | or things get even worse :) | 17:53 |
| mrkramps | i would still recommend installing 16.04 | 17:53 |
| xubuntu227 | you mean there no way to make it reliable at the moment ? | 17:53 |
| mrkramps | actually ,there is no way of making realtek chipsets working reliable since … ever? | 17:54 |
| xubuntu227 | so I didn't choose the good laptop ... | 17:55 |
| mrkramps | no, this is rather a common issue and realtek chipsets are used in many many laptop models | 17:56 |
| xubuntu227 | ok. Just pray then, isn't it ? | 17:56 |
| mrkramps | install linux-firmware-nonfree after installation | 17:57 |
| mrkramps | this might help | 17:57 |
| xubuntu227 | It will be asked or I need to do it by my own ? | 17:58 |
| mrkramps | if i recall correctly a manual installation of nonfree formware is required | 17:58 |
| xubuntu227 | Thanks very much. Perhaps I will need your help later to make my older pc wich was working so well to wifi again ! | 17:59 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu227, and another option to work around such wifi issues if - from my experience - to buy a usb wifi dongle with ralink chipset | 18:00 |
| xubuntu227 | ok I will have a look | 18:00 |
| xubuntu227 | before closing how will I easily find this chat ? I've found it during installation | 18:02 |
| mrkramps | phew, hexchat comes preinstalled and this chat should be pre configured there | 18:04 |
| mrkramps | but i am not sure to tell the truth | 18:04 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu227, or https://xubuntu.org/irc/ | 18:04 |
| mrkramps | ;) | 18:04 |
| xubuntu227 | it's ok. thanks for all. I found it on google using webchat xubuntu | 18:04 |
| xubuntu227 | thanks for all. See U | 18:05 |
| mrkramps | you are welcome | 18:05 |
| seb_ | Hi there. I'm coming back with my wifi issue. I have just installed xubuntu 16 lts. The wifi doesn't work. I have been told sooner to install the nonfree firmware but it doesn't exist for xubuntu 16... | 23:43 |
