[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] <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
[01:10] <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
[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
