| Gino | Hey eveyone | 18:58 |
|---|---|---|
| Gino | Anyone here? | 18:58 |
| diogenes_ | whoever | 18:59 |
| Gino | Dumb question... where can I get some help with networking in lubunti 18.04? | 19:00 |
| Gino | *lubuntu | 19:00 |
| wxl | um, here. | 19:01 |
| Gino | Great. As you can see... noob alert. My apologies upfront | 19:01 |
| Gino | I installed lubuntu 18.04, but cannot get it to connect to my home network | 19:02 |
| wxl | wifi? | 19:02 |
| Gino | Nope, ethernet | 19:03 |
| wxl | ooh that's new | 19:03 |
| wxl | open up the terminal (lxterminal) and type `lspci -nnk | grep -A 3 Ethernet` and let me know the name of the controller including the bit in the square brackets (something like [8086:10bd] or something) as well as the kernel driver in use (and if the kernel driver available is shown) | 19:05 |
| Gino_ | Lost connection... | 19:07 |
| Gino_ | Where can I get some docs to help with networking? | 19:08 |
| wxl | open up the terminal (lxterminal) and type `lspci -nnk | grep -A 3 Ethernet` and let me know the name of the controller including the bit in the square brackets (something like [8086:10bd] or something) as well as the kernel driver in use (and if the kernel driver available is shown) | 19:08 |
| wxl | tl;dr i'd check to see if it isn't a driver issue, maybe some problematic device with a proprietary or unsupported driver and if not search through the logs. /var/log/syslog,dmesg should provide some useful information | 19:09 |
| Gino | Sorry... connection keeps dropping | 19:14 |
| wxl | did you get anything i said? | 19:14 |
| Gino | Trying to start this dinosaur up | 19:15 |
| Gino | I get a garbled screen, and I can only get past that if I hit shift at the right time during startup | 19:16 |
| Gino | I tried to add nomodeset to grub, but I cant get it to start properly. Basically limping along | 19:17 |
| wxl | Gino: you can open a virtual terminal with CTRL-ALT-F1 | 19:21 |
| wxl | the garbled screen suggests some sort of video driver issue | 19:21 |
| wxl | looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log should provide some insight there | 19:21 |
| tito_ | hi | 21:53 |
| tito_ | is there more lighter than lubuntu? | 21:57 |
| Unit193 | Just install from the mini.iso and install openbox, not a full DE. | 21:58 |
| tito_ | only dekpok | 21:58 |
| tito_ | only desk | 22:03 |
