[00:08] <anonrebel> I need help I have wifi connected but it says there's no internet. I can't connect wired because I guess drivers are missing or something.
[00:09] <wxl> what version of lubuntu are you on?
[00:09] <wxl> also we'll need the output of `lspci -nnk` which you can pastebin
[00:09] <anonrebel> not without internet connection
[00:10] <wxl> sure, just move it around with a usb
[00:10] <anonrebel> and latest version
[00:10] <Unit193> !crosspost | anonrebel
[00:10] <ubottu> anonrebel: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support.
[00:10] <wxl> oh fun :/
[00:12] <wxl> anonrebel: so which channel are you going to pick to get your support?
[00:13] <anonrebel> I guess here
[00:13] <wxl> ok, at minimum i need to know the PCI ID of the device(s) in question and the drivers available/being used. you can figure that out from lspci -nnk.
[00:15] <anonrebel> okay, one sec
[00:17] <anonrebel> wxl; this could take a while my external HDD is slow because it's on it's last life.
[00:17] <wxl> anonrebel: you're running the install off an external HDD?
[00:20] <anonrebel> wxl; no transfering the data you requested to my HDD
[00:20] <anonrebel> I don't have a USB flashdrive
[00:20] <wxl> anonrebel: i was suggesting that you could just read the input and type in the answer
[00:20] <wxl> anonrebel: the pci id is 9 characters
[00:20] <wxl> anonrebel: the driver names are usually lesss than that
[00:37] <anonrebel> wxl: kernel driver in use "i915"
[00:38] <anonrebel> oh here's the pci
[00:38] <anonrebel> ehci-pci
[00:48] <wxl> anonrebel: for the wifi or the ethernet? and the pci id is in the format [xxxx:xxxx] (the first of two) with the x's being alphanumerics
[00:48] <wxl> anonrebel: also i'm pretty sure you're wrong either way since i915 is for graphics.
[00:48] <anonrebel> wxl: ah I see ok hold on I'm looking
[00:49] <wxl> anonrebel: example output https://paste.ubuntu.com/24093354/
[00:49] <wxl> anonrebel: in this case the ethernet is [8086:10bd
[00:50] <wxl>  ]
[00:50] <wxl> anonrebel: and it's using the e100e driver
[00:51] <anonrebel> wxl: I don't think I have ethernet it doesn't exist on my system
[00:52] <wxl> anonrebel: you said above that you can't do wired (ethernet) because of drivers
[00:52] <wxl> anonrebel: you should have another network controller that' swifi
[00:57] <anonrebel> wxl: 8086:2e30
[00:58] <wxl> anonrebel: a dram controller? https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/8086/2e30
[00:59] <anonrebel> wxl: yeah that's what it says
[00:59] <wxl> probably for a dram controller, yeah.
[01:00] <wxl> might want to go back to just getting the output on the drive :/
[01:01] <anonrebel> it just sucks I don't have eth0 as an option it would make things easier
[01:01] <wxl> the good news is we can probably fix it
[01:02] <anonrebel> k
[01:02] <wxl> just need to know what to fix
[01:06] <anonrebel> I'm lost I wish I could just show you the results but my external HDD is acting up
[01:07] <wxl> once we have the info we'll be able to help you out
[01:07] <wxl> alternately, there *MIGHT* be a loco in your area where you could get some one on one support
[01:07] <wxl> !loco
[01:07] <ubottu> Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at http://loco.ubuntu.com/
[01:10] <anonrebel> wxl: I got it to mount finally
[01:11] <anonrebel> http://dpaste.com/13GWBGX
[01:11] <wxl> oh
[01:11] <wxl> hahahah
[01:11] <wxl> i see the problem
[01:11] <wxl> according to this you don't have any networking devices :)
[01:11] <anonrebel> ah. hold on brb
[01:13] <wxl> linux can't fix hardware problems XD
[01:24] <anonrebel> wxl: yeah I'm aware.
[01:24] <anonrebel> wxl: but I use to have wifi the wlan0 worked fine before the updates
[01:27] <wxl> anonrebel: it's highly doubtful that's because of the kernerl (or anything else for that matter)
[01:28] <genii> See if the wifi adapter is on lsusb instead.
[01:28] <wxl> yeah good question. is it a usb wifi adapter, anonrebel ?
[01:28] <genii> Some broadcom are mini pcie to usb bus
[01:29] <genii> So it could be internal but still usb
[01:29] <wxl> ahh yuck
[15:44] <anonrebel> wxl: yes it's a wifi adaptor it's called Ralink Technology RT2870/RT3070
[16:09] <anonrebel> it says firmware detected I'll send over results for certain commands I tried for the adaptor
[16:26] <anonrebel> ...... I just saved it to my EHDD but it's not there
[17:36] <wxl> anonrebel: in that case, get the pci id from the line of lsusb that's related to it
[17:36] <wxl> anonrebel: it SHOULD be 148f:3070. please confirm
[19:16] <p0llock> hello, can anyone help me with a bad sd card? there seems to be a finding/mounting issue of the device
=== longerst- is now known as longerstaff13
[21:28] <anonrebel> wxl: yes that's correct
[21:29] <anonrebel> sorry for the slow response
[21:33] <wxl> anonrebel: what interfaces does ifconfig show? wlan0?
[21:36] <wxl> anonrebel: there are some others suggesting getting other drivers, but they all require a network to grab 148f:3070
[21:36] <wxl> oops
[21:36] <wxl> https://askubuntu.com/questions/641724/how-to-install-rt2870-rt3070-wireless-driver
[21:36] <anonrebel> command not found
[21:37] <anonrebel> for "ifconfig"
[21:37] <wxl> ifconfig gives command not found? you have a messed up install then!
[21:37] <Unit193> wxl: No, use ip addr
[21:37] <anonrebel> yeah I thought that was odd
[21:37] <wxl> Unit193: did they get rid of ifconfig off of yakkety???
[21:39] <Unit193> wxl: There was discussion about dropping net-tools, but for yak still in 'minimal.
[21:40] <wxl> Unit193: my impression was that net-tools is likely to be around for some time, but yes i did see that discussion
[21:40] <wxl> you can also look at this anonrebel https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/244410
