| PreZeasy | Hey all! | 02:56 |
|---|---|---|
| PreZeasy | I'm pretty new to lubuntu, I seem to have an issue where the shutdown stops at 4/5 dots and never completes randomly. Is there a way to check the system files//figure out what is going on? | 02:57 |
| Gelb | Hey guys, so I just installed lubuntu on my laptop, its an old HP pavillion dv6t-1200, is there a way to get the wifi card to work? Is there a blanket driver that would cover it? | 03:42 |
| DarinMiller | Gelb: I do not run lubuntu, but assuming it's like other *buntu flavors with old Belkin cards, you might need to run updates using a LAN line. | 03:45 |
| DarinMiller | s/Belkin/Broadcom | 03:53 |
| Gelb_ | Can anyone explain how the Synaptic Package Manager works? | 03:53 |
| Gelb_ | I'm still trying to get drivers for the wifi card | 03:53 |
| DarinMiller | Gelb_: Do you know which wifi is installed? | 03:54 |
| Gelb_ | No, I've tried looking on HP's website | 03:54 |
| Gelb_ | but they don't list the hardware | 03:54 |
| Gelb_ | 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN mini card | 03:55 |
| Gelb_ | is what's listed for parts replacement on hp's website | 03:55 |
| Gelb_ | but that just tells what it is | 03:56 |
| DarinMiller | accroding to this site, you could have Broadcom, Realtek or Intel: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-dv6-1200-entertainment-notebook-pc-series/3872814/model/3945149 | 03:56 |
| DarinMiller | open a terminal in type: sudo lshw > t.txt | 03:56 |
| Gelb_ | it gives me command not found | 03:57 |
| DarinMiller | what version of Lubuntu? | 03:57 |
| DarinMiller | lshw does not work? | 03:57 |
| Gelb_ | Sorry about that, mispelled it | 03:58 |
| DarinMiller | Gelb_: Yep, been there :) | 03:59 |
| Gelb_ | it rolls through 3 things | 03:59 |
| Gelb_ | one of them says usb | 03:59 |
| Gelb_ | SCSI | 03:59 |
| Gelb_ | and im not sure what the first one says it goes to fast | 03:59 |
| Gelb_ | PCI something | 03:59 |
| DarinMiller | use the redirect to point dumb output to a file: sudo lshw > t.txt | 04:00 |
| DarinMiller | the greater than sign is the redirect symbol... | 04:00 |
| DarinMiller | s/dumb/dump.... | 04:00 |
| DarinMiller | then gedit t.txt | 04:01 |
| DarinMiller | use search to find "Wirelss" | 04:01 |
| DarinMiller | Are you able connect to the internet with a LAN line? | 04:03 |
| Gelb_ | Yeah, I'm connected right now with an ethernet cord | 04:03 |
| Gelb_ | sorry, changed the directory to documents so i could figure out where it was sending | 04:04 |
| DarinMiller | I am not familiar with Lubuntu. Do you have a Drivers option in the system settings? | 04:04 |
| DarinMiller | It might be called Driver manager or something like that. | 04:05 |
| Gelb_ | I have Synaptic Package Manager | 04:05 |
| Gelb_ | which was running my updates | 04:05 |
| Gelb_ | also it looks like its a broadcom | 04:05 |
| DarinMiller | Most ubuntu distros have the ability to auto detect hw and offer to install drivers automatically. | 04:05 |
| DarinMiller | oh try this: lspci -vnn | grep Network showed: | 04:07 |
| DarinMiller | good webpage here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers | 04:07 |
| DarinMiller | lspci -vnn | grep Network | 04:08 |
| Gelb_ | So its listing Broadcom Limited BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY | 04:10 |
| DarinMiller | Go here: Menu button - System Tools - Software Updater | 04:11 |
| DarinMiller | Click Settings... and then click the tab Additional Drivers | 04:11 |
| DarinMiller | Hopefully you will see the Broadcom driver that is speciifc for your wireless card. | 04:12 |
| DarinMiller | I a following directions found here: https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/first-lubuntu | 04:12 |
| Gelb_ | Awesome, thank you, I really appreciate the help | 04:13 |
| Gelb_ | It found it | 04:13 |
| Gelb_ | :) | 04:13 |
| DarinMiller | Good to hear. :) | 04:13 |
| Gelb_ | Thanks again! | 04:16 |
| DarinMiller | Wireless card working now? | 04:16 |
