| lubot | <tsimonq2> @tttomat19, Welcome! | 02:03 |
| lubot | <ShiBonCip> @wxl23, Yes, broadcom here; ie: BCM43142 | 04:22 |
| lubot | <ShiBonCip> sometimes i have to use nmcli to connect | 04:22 |
| lubot | <wxl23> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 04:23 |
| lubot | <ShiBonCip> @wxl23, thanks | 04:24 |
| lubot | <wxl23> That's only supported by the proprietary driver which you have to explicitly install | 04:24 |
| lubot | <ShiBonCip> noted | 04:24 |
| lubot | <ShiBonCip> no worries | 04:24 |
| lubot | <wxl23> That's true across all of the Ubuntu flavors and derivatives | 04:25 |
| lubot | <wxl23> Which is to say it's not an LXQt and/or Lubuntu issue | 04:26 |
| lubot | <ShiBonCip> noted | 04:26 |
| lubot | <wxl23> Most distros won't ship proprietary software. That said, it's a general Linux issue | 04:27 |
| lubot | <wxl23> Or rather an issue with Broadcom not generally supporting open source | 04:27 |
| lubot | <ShiBonCip> @Sam, but i think that im facing the same problem like sam the network applet not quit intuitive because it only said connected | 04:27 |
| lubot | <ShiBonCip> *quite | 04:28 |
| lubot | <ShiBonCip> that's why i usually have to use nmcli rather than network applet | 04:28 |
| lubot | <wxl23> I would expect erratic or incomplete behavior from the chip given the fact that whatever driver you might be using doesn't fully support it. | 04:29 |
| lubot | <wxl23> What driver are you using? | 04:29 |
| lubot | <ShiBonCip> checking | 04:30 |
| lubot | <ShiBonCip> vendor: Broadcom Corporation | 04:31 |
| lubot | physical id: 0 | 04:31 |
| lubot | bus info: pci@0000:08:00.0 | 04:31 |
| lubot | logical name: wlan0 | 04:31 |
| lubot | version: 01 | 04:31 |
| lubot | capabilities: bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless | 04:31 |
| lubot | configuration: broadcast=yes driver=wl0 driverversion=6.30.223.271 (r587334) | 04:31 |
| lubot | <wxl23> Ok so you are running the right thing if you're on Xenial or later | 04:33 |
| lubot | <wxl23> So if there is a bug, figure out how to clearly reproduce it, and then file a bug report. | 04:34 |
| lubot | <ShiBonCip> yes 16.04 | 04:34 |
| lubot | <wxl23> In other words, you should be able to follow the exact same steps on a freshly installed system and see the exact same results | 04:35 |
| lubot | <wxl23> It also might be wise to try a newer version and see if it has the same problem | 04:36 |
| lubot | <ShiBonCip> 17.10 is a good start? | 04:36 |
| lubot | <wxl23> I'm sure the applet has been updated and I know the wl driver has been | 04:36 |
| lubot | <wxl23> Yep | 04:36 |

| lubot | <tsimonq2> @Dave K, Welcome! | 15:59 |
| lubot | <Dave K> Hey thanks! I was wondering where lubot was piping everything in from lol | 16:00 |
| lubot | <drkokandy> it's been awhile since I've been actively contributing but hopefully on the "better late than never" side I thought I would try to reconnect and see whether I can be helpful now that things have calmed down in my life | 16:03 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> @drkokandy, Awesome :D | 16:40 |
