[00:00] <bazhang> copy it over then install
[00:00] <bazhang> make sure you get the right version, ie matching your current system installed on that xubuntu machine
[00:01] <kurokashiro> `r8168-dkms_8.042.00-2_all`
[00:02] <bazhang> what version of xubuntu are you on
[00:04] <kurokashiro> Latest LTS release: 16.04, Xenial Xerus
[00:05] <bazhang> so the above package you listed matches that?
[00:11] <kurokashiro> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/r8168/8.041.00-1
[00:11] <kurokashiro> i think this one might
[00:11] <knome> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=xenial&searchon=names&keywords=r8168 - indeed
[00:13] <kurokashiro> r8168-dkms_8.041.00-1_all.deb
[00:13] <kurokashiro> this is the file i downloaded to the usb
[00:15] <kurokashiro> i plugged the usb into the xubuntu pc
[00:16] <bazhang> r8168-dkms_8.041.00-1_all.deb
[00:16] <bazhang> yeah thats it
[00:16] <bazhang> copy the deb over, then right click with mouse
[00:17] <kurokashiro> open with software install?
[00:17] <bazhang> is that what it offers
[00:18] <bazhang> if so, then yes
[00:18] <kurokashiro> `open with software install` `open with "archive manager"` `extract here/to` `open with other application`
[00:18] <bazhang> the first
[00:20] <bazhang> installed? then plug in the ehternet cable, if not yet done
[00:20] <kurokashiro> it opens up a window with an install button
[00:20] <bazhang> install it
[00:20] <kurokashiro> i clicked the install but it doesnt seem to do anything
[00:21] <kurokashiro> there is a blue box that says "this software may contain non-free components."
[00:21] <kurokashiro> after i click install
[00:22] <kurokashiro> and nothing seems to happen
[00:23] <bazhang> got an ethernet cable handy?
[00:24] <kurokashiro> yes i have an ethernet cable
[00:24] <bazhang> is it plugged into the xubuntu machine yet
[00:26] <kurokashiro> not yet im moving the machine closer to the modem
[00:27] <bazhang> ok, let us know when you have done so
[00:29] <kurokashiro> im powering up the machine
[00:32] <kurokashiro> the machine is turned on
[00:32] <kurokashiro> when i open with software install
[00:33] <bazhang> you did that already
[00:33] <kurokashiro> there is a blue box saying "this software comes from a 3rd party and may contain non free components." then when i click install it changes to "this softwar emah contain non free components" and seemingly does nothing
[00:33] <kurokashiro> the install button is still there
[00:33] <knome> what if you press install again after the blue box?
[00:34] <kurokashiro> yes
[00:34] <kurokashiro> and it doesnt seem to do anything
[00:34] <knome> okay
[00:34] <kurokashiro> the first click of install changes the text on the blue box
[00:35] <kurokashiro> the second click of install doesnt seem to do anything
[00:35] <knome> so in that case, try opening a terminal in the directory where you have the file and running
[00:35] <knome> dpkg -i filename.deb
[00:35] <knome> (you can use tabcompletion, eg. type the first few letters of the filename and then press tab)
[00:36] <kurokashiro> "requested operation requires superuser priv"
[00:36] <kurokashiro> so put sudo at the start?
[00:36] <knome> yeah
[00:39] <kurokashiro> "dependency problems prevent configuration of r8168-dkms: r8168-dkms depends on dkms (>=2.1.0.0); however: package dkms is not installed."
[00:39] <knome> ...this is the reason why you'd want to use apt-offline
[00:41] <bazhang> sneakernet the appropriate dkms first , then that package
[00:42] <knome> (note that dkms might have some dependencies that are not installed yet, so you might have to repeat the proces a few times)
[00:42] <bazhang> I'm surprised dkms is not included by default
[00:42] <knome> yeah, that's kind of weird, but....
[00:46] <kurokashiro> dkms_2.2.0.3.orig.tar.gz
[00:47] <kurokashiro> from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/dkms
[00:47] <knome> please get the .deb
[00:49] <kurokashiro> dkms_2.2.0.3-1.1ubuntu5.14.04.5_all.deb
[00:49] <kurokashiro> this one?
[00:50] <knome> no, that's for 14.04
[00:50] <knome> http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/all/dkms/download
[00:50] <knome> get it from one of the links there
[00:51] <kurokashiro> i moved it to the desktop of the xubuntu machine
[00:52] <knome> now run "sudo dpkg -i file.deb" with that
[00:52] <bazhang> I hope he runs it from Desktop
[00:52] <knome> well yes, again in the directory of the file...
[00:53] <Unit193> You can actually now  `sudo apt install ./file.deb` and it'll resolve deps too.
[00:53] <knome> Unit193, considering they are all satisfied...
[00:53] <bazhang> no internet of any kind
[00:54] <kurokashiro> i did that
[00:54] <kurokashiro> now im running the other command
[00:55] <knome> or more exactly satisfiable
[00:55] <knome> kurokashiro, once you've ran the dkpg command for both of the packages, the driver is installed
[00:55] <kurokashiro> it said dkms install completed
[00:56] <knome> ok, now for the r8168 one
[00:56] <kurokashiro> i did that one too
[00:57] <kurokashiro> do i restart the computer now?
[00:57] <knome> yep
[00:57] <bazhang> got the cable attached?
[00:57] <kurokashiro> yes
[00:57] <knome> ideally, after reboot you should have connectivity
[00:57] <bazhang> should work as is
[00:57] <bazhang> but reboot to make sure
[00:57]  * knome isn't sure how dkms works, so...
[00:57] <knome> and yes, sometimes things doesn't work even if they should
[00:59] <kurokashiro> ethernet still isnt working
[00:59] <knome> after reboot?
[00:59] <kurokashiro> yes
[01:05] <kurokashiro> i dont know why this isnt working
[01:05] <knome> Unit193, ideas?
[01:19] <bazhang> kurokashiro, did you check what ifconfig -a says now, no need to paste here
[01:19] <kurokashiro> i did `$ inxi -Fx` and for Network it says `Network: card: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller` `driver: r8168 v: 8.041.00-NAPI port: b000 bus-ID: 0a:00.0` `IF: enp10s0 state: down mac: 30:8..etc`
[01:20] <bazhang> please pastebin such a huge output in future
[01:21] <bazhang> sudo ifup enp10s0
[01:22] <bazhang> then sudo dhclient enp10s0
[01:25] <kurokashiro> `unknown interface enp10s0`
[01:25] <Unit193> knome: Not sure if you already checked logs or if the driver was in use.
[01:26] <knome> no.
[01:26] <bazhang> what does ifconfig -a show  kurokashiro eth0 or just that other, please just say which, dont repaste all that
[01:27] <kurokashiro> it shows `enp10s0` and `lo`
[01:27] <knome> Unit193, doesn't the inxi output above confirm it is?
[01:28] <Unit193> The latter it does.
[01:28] <knome> yup
[01:29] <bazhang> sudo ifconfig enp10s0 hw ether 00:04:FE:11:22:38
[01:30] <bazhang> the last bit we have to substitute
[01:31] <kurokashiro> substitute with what?
[01:32] <kurokashiro> `00:04:FE:11:22:38` with my `HWaddr`?
[01:32] <bazhang> do ip link
[01:32] <bazhang> the MAC address is what we want
[01:33] <kurokashiro> link/ether 30:85:a9:93:89:7d
[01:34] <bazhang> bingo
[01:34] <bazhang> substitute that
[01:34] <kurokashiro> i did the command
[01:35] <bazhang> sudo ifconfig enp10s0 hw ether 30:85:a9:93:89:7d
[01:35] <bazhang> that?
[01:35] <kurokashiro> yes
[01:37] <bazhang> is the cable attached
[01:38] <kurokashiro> yes it is
[01:38] <bazhang> try to use the internet
[01:38] <kurokashiro> it still doesnt work
[01:38] <kurokashiro> http://pastebin.com/pJBF1wqu
[01:39] <kurokashiro> this is what ifconfig -a prints
[01:39] <kurokashiro> now
[01:41] <bazhang> sudo dhclient enp10s0
[01:41] <bazhang> does that get you a lease
[01:44] <kurokashiro> i did the command and it is still doing something
[01:46] <bazhang> doing what
[01:46] <kurokashiro> it just finished
[01:46] <kurokashiro> it wasnt doing anything
[01:47] <kurokashiro> it was just "stuck"
[01:47] <bazhang> ping www.google.com
[01:47] <kurokashiro> unknown host`
[02:01] <bazhang> kurokashiro> i did the command and it is still doing something
[02:01] <bazhang> what was the something
[02:02] <kurokashiro> by something i meant it asked it for my password and then made an empty line and just stayed like that until it finished
[02:02] <bazhang> what was the command you did
[02:03] <kurokashiro> sudo dhclient enp10s0
[02:21] <kurokashiro> i tried `/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-npm10s0` and it gives me an error
[02:22] <kurokashiro> enp*
[03:18] <kurokashiro> i got a you are now connected to enp10s0 but still cant connection to the internet through etherner
[03:18] <kurokashiro> ethernet
[03:43] <kurokashiro> im just going to reinstall windows and see if everything works fine on windows
[03:43] <kurokashiro> to at least know if its something wrong with hardware or something

[13:42] <Tedd872> Anyone here?
[13:47] <Tedd872> My Ricochet is not working. Always says Connection Pending with my contact.
[13:47] <Tedd872> Is this because they need to be online at the same time?

[19:28] <sun45261> does anyone know how to invert the standard fn-key-function?
[19:28] <sun45261> atm if I want to use the f1,...,f12 keys i have to hold down the fn-key

[19:31] <sun45261> Spass_: hi, no not yet
[19:32] <Spass_> I think that this option should be there.
[19:33] <sun45261> Spass_: unfortunately i am using a macbook pro
[19:33] <sun45261> _Spass: seems like there is no way of getting into the bios
[19:33] <Spass_> Oh, sorry I don't have any experience with Macs.
[19:34] <sun45261> nvm
[19:35] <sun45261> may have found something

[22:51] <knome> maybe you'll want to disable that addon from firefox?
[22:52] <xubuntu67w> ok thanks.
[22:54] <xubuntu67w> Yes, that's done. Many thanks.
[23:27] <xubuntu86w> why is there a bug in thunar that causes it to crash when a file is renamed?
