[00:04] Sorry [00:04] https://thepasteb.in/p/DRhjAGPXNApfy [00:05] so here's your device: Bus 003 Device 005: ID 1bbb:0195 T & A Mobile Phones [00:05] it's a mobile phone router? [00:05] http://www.telkom.co.ke/telkom-4g-mi-fi-router-0 [00:06] yikes never used that before so ymmv [00:06] Its wifi works, but its been giving me crazy headaches [00:06] What doesn't work is the wifi from my Computer [00:07] Wifi-Networks=Device not ready [00:07] i'm really confused about which device is what and which is connected to what, so maybe being extra super clear would be helpful here [00:07] I'd like my lubuntu wifi to work [00:07] G7000 16.04 [00:07] HP G7000 [00:07] Lubuntu 16.04 [00:08] and this is the thing that has the router connected to it? [00:08] Mifi Router is connected via USB cable [00:08] That thing IS the (mini)router [00:09] and that thing is connecting to the the mobile network and then providing a wifi network or it's meant to be used as an adapter to connect to the internet for the computer? [00:09] http://www.telkom.co.ke/telkom-4g-mi-fi-router-0 [00:09] yes [00:09] Let me start again [00:09] That thing... connects to the mobile network [00:10] via USB cable, to computer, which facilitates my getting your beer [00:10] It has a wifi yes, but I switced it off because it gave me crazy headaches [00:11] Now I want to use the wifi form my comuter [00:11] Which I previously used without headaches [00:11] But it wont work [00:12] "it" having the wifi is the computer? [00:12] oh dear [00:12] Where is the miscommunication? [00:12] Please tell me what you understand [00:13] you say "it" has a wifi. which it? [00:13] mifi Router [00:13] But I don't want that wifi [00:13] Right now Im using USB cable [00:13] Wifi off [00:14] so you have a non-mifi wifi access point somewhere? [00:14] Dont understand [00:15] you have a wifi chip on the computer, right? [00:15] Yes. Which Ive previously used before while accessing network via Dongle [00:16] That is what I want to access again [00:16] i have never tried to connect two routes to the internet simultaneously [00:16] how would the computer be able to determine which request goes where? [00:16] This is what I'd like [00:17] then answer the question XD [00:17] i have never heard of such a thing working unless you disconnect one of them [00:17] Internet =>Mifi router=>Computer=>Android phone [00:17] The source of internet will remain the router [00:17] yes but you're saying you want to connect to internet » some AP » computer AT THE SAME TIME [00:18] Oh boy [00:18] Maybe this is not a good day [00:19] The only reason why I want the wifi from computer activated, is so that I can connect my android phone [00:19] Or if theres a way I can tether it, via another USB port [00:19] you want the phone to share from the computer? [00:19] Yes Yes Yes!!!!1 [00:19] so you actually expect the computer to act as an AP? [00:20] Either via USB (preffered) or via wifi [00:20] this is the first i've heard of phones the entire conversation... .__________. [00:20] My bad.. [00:20] Should have started there I guess [00:20] probably [00:20] Sorry [00:21] you should be able to create an ad hoc network via network manager [00:23] Tried and failed [00:23] Tried everything I did before [00:23] I think setting up the router messed something [00:24] Because it says on my network manager 'Wi-fi Networks = Device not ready [00:24] Ethernet network= disconnected [00:24] yeah well you don't have ethernet, so that's fairly obvious [00:25] Ive coonected to network via cable before [00:25] honestly, i can't provide you with any help with this because i don't even have the hardware to test it. sure, ic ould probably test an ad hoc network but that's not going to test how it works with this mifi thing if that's the issue [00:25] it doesn't mantter. disconnected is the current state [00:26] ok... Help me with this then [00:26] I got 3 links that might work [00:26] https://askubuntu.com/questions/844746/wifi-networks-device-not-ready [00:26] https://askubuntu.com/questions/810229/network-disabled-device-not-ready-16-04?rq=1 [00:26] https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/pulse [00:27] Help me with the last bit... Never been able to figure out github [00:27] what did you do exactly to set this whole thing up? [00:27] wait a minute [00:27] backup actually [00:27] Wish I knew.. Somebody set it up [00:28] do you have an AP somewhere? [00:28] something that you could test the wireless on? [00:28] What is AP? .. Here its Administration police [00:28] :-) [00:28] (wireless) access point [00:29] I've used wifi before. Used to connect to internet via dongle.. then share it to phone via wifi. Without the headaches [00:29] i'm suggesting you test it again [00:30] 1. remove the mifi [00:30] 2. set up a normal wireless connection to an AP [00:30] 3. if that works, create the ad hoc network [00:30] 4. connect your android phone [00:30] if all that works, you can pretty much eliminate wifi being your issue [00:31] Ok.. Let me try.. Unfortnate thing is, even after I unplug the mifi, it still says same Not ready thing [00:49] Wifi Device not ready [00:49] could you connect to wifi at all? [00:49] no [00:49] ok so we have a wifi problem [00:49] so now i need `lspci -nnk` [00:51] https://thepasteb.in/p/k5hYBG7ORx0fE [00:51] My computer is HP G7000 [00:56] Lots of Hewlett-Packard Company Presario C700 [00:56] Not my HP7000 [01:07] DeviceNotReady: now give me `grep -R ath5k /etc/modprobe.d` [01:11] ok [01:13] https://thepasteb.in/p/nZhlDBzjqXpHY [01:13] Error [01:14] oh that's interesting. pastebin the entirety of that file to me (/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf) [01:15] https://thepasteb.in/p/DRhjAG1PKn7hy [01:17] ok now we're getting somewhere [01:17] finally i need the entirety of /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf [01:22] No file like that [01:22] Don't have it [01:22] oh hm [01:22] Even after dir [01:22] alright well it might not be needed [01:23] but if what we do, doesn't work, make athat file and include "options ath_pci rfkill=0" in it and reboot. that might fix it. BEFORE THAT: [01:23] (hold please) [01:26] holding.... [01:26] run `ubuntu-drivers list` [01:26] show me whatcha get :) [01:27] you may need to do sudo that [01:27] Maybe I should have said please... Computer [01:27] oh.. ok [01:29] intel-microcode [01:29] intel-microcode [01:29] xxintel-microcode [01:29] intel-microcode [01:30] copied 4 times.. sorry. Appears only once [01:30] that's it? [01:30] Without sudo [01:31] Same thing after sudo [01:31] ok [01:31] i have one last thing to check.. [01:38] ok DeviceNotReady i have confirmed you indeed have the right driver and that the specific device you have does support that chip very well, with no clear caveats [01:39] ehe [01:39] that said, try what i said above. if it doesn't fix it, delete that file. there's no reason to have something that doesn't work (could potentially lead to other issues) [01:39] What to do? [01:40] `echo "options ath_pci rfkill=0" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf && sudo reboot` [01:46] wifi networks = Device not ready [01:46] How do I install this? [01:46] that's utterly bizarre [01:46] ath10k as you showed before is the wrong driver for your chip [01:46] https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/pulse [01:47] it's not in any way applicable [01:47] Ok [01:48] i mean it's probably already in your kernel but using it won't do you any good XD [01:48] Assumptions [01:48] do you have any blocks on `rfkill list`? [01:49] https://thepasteb.in/p/Elh1xXmvXL5im [01:49] None [01:50] ok [01:50] pastebin /var/log/syslog and /var/log/dmesg [01:53] no log [01:54] you HAVE to have those logs, unless you know that you explicitly turned them off [01:58] Old comp.. not much space [01:58] so you explicitly turned them off? [02:00] `dmesg` should at least output something. [02:14] dmesg [02:15] Too slepp [02:15] Lets look at this another time [02:16] Thank you [09:03] hey tsimonq2, I have just read your last e-mail on the mailing list. I would like to say thank you for clearing out all issues and misunderstanding and for putting taking a clear stance on what was going on. [09:04] Also I completely forgot to join IRC channels since I installed Lubuntu a year ago. Well, here I am and happy xmas for all of you :) [13:01] Hi.. anybody here? I'd appreciate some help [13:02] ? [13:16] hi [23:40] Hi.. Need assistance tethering comp internet to android phone via usb
