[00:30] <rardiol1> I'm running the live usb 17.04 and I can't connect to wifi with a uss wifi connector. The connector works on another linux system. I select the network, put in the password, and it just works for a few seconds and then stops and says i'm disconnected. The rt2800usb driver is loaded. I just tried the 16.04 live and it worked. any idea why?
[15:16] <foxjazz> hi, just installed video drivers and I get /dev/sda1 clean, #/# files #/# blocks
[15:16] <foxjazz> any idea what to do?
[18:22] <xubuntu78i> hello?
[19:21] <foxjazz> trid installing radeon driver for linux, after reboot it fails to boot.
[19:24] <GridCube> foxjazz, go to a tty and try reinstalling, else just remove xorg.conf

[20:10] <_BIGSHOT_> $ sudo vim /etc/init.d/make-ir-work <-- will this work on 16.04?
[20:10] <_BIGSHOT_> what do i have to use instead of init.d?
[20:11] <well_laid_lawn> _BIGSHOT_:  the init now is systemd
[20:13] <_BIGSHOT_> well_laid_lawn, can you turn this script into systemd script? https://paste.ubuntu.com/25610043/
[20:13] <well_laid_lawn> not at the moment
[20:14] <_BIGSHOT_> aww man it's only 2 to 3 lines
[20:14] <knome> if it's only 2 to 3 lines, why don't you do it yourself? (:
[20:15] <knome> or in other words, line count doesn't tell the whole story
[20:15] <_BIGSHOT_> knome, can you write it out?
[20:15] <_BIGSHOT_> there are lots of echo in it
[20:15] <_BIGSHOT_> systemd won't be too big
[20:15] <_BIGSHOT_> script i.e.
[20:16] <knome> please
[20:16] <_BIGSHOT_> huh? no man you don't need to show courtesy
[20:19] <testerbeta> hi
[20:19] <_BIGSHOT_> line 1: modprobe -r nuvoton_cir line 2: sleep 1 line 3: sys/bus/acpi/devices/<strong>ITE8713</strong>:00/physical_node/resources line 5: ir-keytable -p NEC,RC6 -w <strong>/etc/rc_keymaps/apple_remote</strong>
[20:19] <testerbeta> i want know how much ram  will need xubuntu   (32bit)
[20:19] <_BIGSHOT_> only 4 commands are there
[20:19] <testerbeta> i just need xubuntu  with networkmanager (no more)
[20:19] <foxjazz> using ubuntu how do you install trendnet ethernet adapter
[20:19] <foxjazz> usb
[20:19] <_BIGSHOT_> testerbeta, i guess 1GB is more than enough
[20:19] <knome> testerbeta, try checking https://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/requirements/
[20:20] <knome> _BIGSHOT_, please do not tell everybody on the channel your problem is "just 4 commands"; everybody here is volunteer and if they can help, they most likely will
[20:21] <_BIGSHOT_> knome, relax bud, here have some soda
[20:21]  * _BIGSHOT_ give knome soda
[20:21] <_BIGSHOT_> gives*
[20:21] <foxjazz> GridCube: Hey so I had it working on linux server. so installed this
[20:22] <foxjazz> problem comes when I add a second card, the ethernet port is no longer available
[20:22] <GridCube> that sound very weird
[20:23] <foxjazz> yes, so I have got a usb to ethernet adapter
[20:23] <foxjazz> and before I put the second card in, I want to get it working
[20:23] <foxjazz> it's a Trendnet adapter
[20:23] <GridCube> second card of what?
[20:23] <foxjazz> the second video card
[20:24] <GridCube> oh, you want to have both running at the same time?
[20:24] <GridCube> i don't know how you can do that
[20:24] <foxjazz> well. I just need one
[20:25] <foxjazz> and since the second video card will break the on board adapter, it would be good to get this other one to work
[20:25] <foxjazz> when I installed xubuntu, it auto installed the usb adapter
[20:25] <foxjazz> with no issues
[20:25] <GridCube> as i said before the best thing i can come with is deleting the Xorg.conf file
[20:26] <GridCube> so you get reverted to the default drivers
[20:26] <GridCube> and that should work
[20:26] <foxjazz> I have linux server booted and running
[20:26] <foxjazz> what is xorg.conf delete going to do?
[20:26] <GridCube> make the system use generic drivers that where working before you installed the privative ones
[20:26] <foxjazz> I have the video drivers installed and working under linux server
[20:26] <GridCube> oh
[20:27] <GridCube> i don't understand the problem then
[20:27] <foxjazz> my current problem is this. when I add the second video card, it will make the ether net adapter stop working
[20:27] <GridCube> oh
[20:27] <foxjazz> I have a usb adapter
[20:27] <GridCube> right
[20:28] <foxjazz> if I can get that working before adding the card, then at least I have comms
[20:28] <GridCube> does the card show up with lspci?
[20:29] <foxjazz> lspi no command found
[20:29] <foxjazz> oo
[20:29] <GridCube> lspci
[20:29] <foxjazz> looking
[20:30] <foxjazz> i don't see it
[20:31] <GridCube> I'll bet then you have a hardware problem
[20:31] <GridCube> try removing the card and placing it again, or changing the slot is using
[20:31] <foxjazz> well ok, if it's hardware why was it working with xubuntu?
[20:31] <foxjazz> ok
[20:31] <foxjazz> sure
[20:31] <GridCube> because it might have moved when you added the vga
[20:32] <foxjazz> lsusb it sees it
[20:32] <GridCube> lsusb sees the usb one
[20:33] <foxjazz> yes
[20:33] <GridCube> thats not the one you want
[20:33] <foxjazz> I haven't added the second card just yet
[20:33] <foxjazz> I think when I add the card it will break ethernet
[20:33]  * GridCube facepalms
[20:33] <foxjazz> so I need to get the usb ethernet adapter working
[20:34] <GridCube> it should just work
[20:34] <foxjazz> ifconfig doesn't have it listed
[20:34] <GridCube> I don't know how else to help you
[20:35] <GridCube> foxjazz, https://www.linux.com/answers/how-do-i-setup-network-card-if-linux-cannot-see-it
[20:36] <foxjazz> ok.. tx for the time
[20:37] <GridCube> I think you need to work on a problem at a time, if you want to have the ethernet pci card working or the usb one
[20:37] <GridCube> if the pci one doesnt work, try changing it's port
[20:38] <GridCube> maybe the mobo has problems with many cards at the same time?
[20:38] <GridCube> maybe the vga card is pushing the ethernet card and making it disconnect from the pins?
[20:58] <foxjazz> hmmm interesting
[20:59] <foxjazz> since I couldn't add the usb ethernet, I am trying the xubuntu install one more time, if that doesn't work on installing the vid drivers, I am just going to get another license for windows.
[21:18] <foxjazz> when installing -y why does it say invalid operation -y it just means yes right?
[21:21] <foxjazz> GridCube: how do I remove xorg.conf on boot
[21:26] <GridCube> if you can get to a tty go to /etc/X11/ and inside of it it should be there, if you dn't have one then you are already using the generic drivers
[21:26] <foxjazz> how do I get to a tty
[21:27] <foxjazz> it just comes up with that clean entry and doesn't do anything else
[21:28] <foxjazz> huh, should I try oem install?
[21:29] <foxjazz> I tried debian last night, and well there was no su, debian is screwed up.
[21:49] <foxjazz> installed oem
[21:50] <foxjazz> instead of updating distro, going to just install the driver and reboot.
[21:50] <foxjazz> fingers crossed
[21:53] <foxjazz> wow it's doing nothing
[21:55] <foxjazz> nada
[21:55] <foxjazz> gonna try one more thing
[22:04] <foxjazz> this is like the 5th time I have done an install or 7 this weekend... getting old
[22:31] <foxjazz> well linux is officially !@#$
[22:31] <foxjazz> windows here I come... LOL
[22:36] <foxjazz> you would a thought after all this time, they would build a better linux.  I am just going to virutalize a linux server under windows
