MouxonHi! I just upgraded to Zesty (from Yakkety) and now, I have a lot of problems with gtk application. I tried to execute gedit or gtk3-demo, but nothing happened and there is no error. Any idea to show the log ?15:02
ScungielliQuestion:  What is the best/fastest LIGHTWEIGHT web browser for running on an old netbook?  1GB ram, Intel Atom CPU15:15
leszekScungielli: xxxterm15:27
leszekupps they renamed it15:27
leszekhow is it called now15:27
leszekxombrero15:27
leszekgtkwebkit based and uses the vim like commands for controlling it. So might be something getting used to15:28
kerbyathHello15:47
kerbyathfirst time here, don't know how it works...15:48
kerbyathdoes it works like a chat?15:50
leszekkerbyath: exactly15:51
leszekits a chat system15:51
leszekpretty old one actually15:51
leszekkerbyath: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat15:51
kerbyathfantastic, I have just installed lubuntu on another computer but I need help to understand why I cannot reach my access point configuration page from mozilla browser15:52
leszekok but your router or access point is using dhcp so clients automatically get an address right ?15:53
kerbyathit's an outdoor access point that can be used like a repeater, it must be configured without dhcp, it's very simple, I saw it yesterday in the shop laboratory how to configure it, they just put manually the ip address on the network configuration and then they reach it via web browser ....I can see the wired connection linked in the small icon on the status bar, I have configured the ip address, I see that15:54
leszekah ok15:55
kerbyathIsee that the connection status reports the ip address, but when I open mozilla and put the ip adrress it says that the page is unreachable15:55
leszekhave you tried pinging your access point15:55
kerbyaththat's the point... how should I do? with windows I type ipconfig.... and here ?15:55
leszekfor pinging you type ipconfig ? I just type ping 127.0.0.1 :)15:56
kerbyathoh yes sorry.... you are right15:57
kerbyathis the same with lubuntu? I try15:58
kerbyathNETWORK IS UNREACHABLE15:58
leszekkerbyath: hmm... then please the output of ifconfig (please use a pastebin.com service so you don't spam in here but just paste on this website and post the link here)16:00
kerbyaththanks, the problem is that I don't have ifconfig installed, maybe I have downloaded a limited version of lubuntu...16:01
leszekmight be just it isn't installed anymore. Which version of lubuntu ?16:02
kerbyath17.0416:03
leszekI still have the LTS 16.04 here16:03
leszekjust a sec16:03
kerbyath:-)16:03
leszekkerbyath: ip link ls up  should list all interfaces which are up16:05
leszekcheck if your ethernet device is listed there16:06
kerbyathno it is not listed... but... then it is strange to me that the ethernet icon shows the connection.... or not...?16:09
leszekyes thats indeed strange16:09
kerbyathmay be on lubuntu you have to specify other values than the ip address and the subnet mask?16:09
leszekusually not16:10
leszekcan you try bringing the interface up with ip link set dev eth0 up  (replace eth0 with your ethernet name you can get from ip a)16:10
kerbyathI try16:12
kerbyathlet's try another thing... I delete the wired connection, so I won't have no connections at all, I reset the access point and I will reconnect the ethernet cable16:13
leszekif the device itself is down it won't change a thing I think16:14
kerbyathyeeeeeeee solved :-)16:17
leszeknice16:17
kerbyaththank you anyway... we could say that I havae solved the problem but... not for my ability.... just tjhe case!!!!16:19
kerbyath:-) :-)16:19
kerbyaththksss16:20
