[18:58] Hey eveyone [18:58] Anyone here? [18:59] whoever [19:00] Dumb question... where can I get some help with networking in lubunti 18.04? [19:00] *lubuntu [19:01] um, here. [19:01] Great. As you can see... noob alert. My apologies upfront [19:02] I installed lubuntu 18.04, but cannot get it to connect to my home network [19:02] wifi? [19:03] Nope, ethernet [19:03] ooh that's new [19:05] 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) [19:07] Lost connection... [19:08] Where can I get some docs to help with networking? [19:08] 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) [19:09] 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 [19:14] Sorry... connection keeps dropping [19:14] did you get anything i said? [19:15] Trying to start this dinosaur up [19:16] I get a garbled screen, and I can only get past that if I hit shift at the right time during startup [19:17] I tried to add nomodeset to grub, but I cant get it to start properly. Basically limping along [19:21] Gino: you can open a virtual terminal with CTRL-ALT-F1 [19:21] the garbled screen suggests some sort of video driver issue [19:21] looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log should provide some insight there [21:53] hi [21:57] is there more lighter than lubuntu? [21:58] Just install from the mini.iso and install openbox, not a full DE. [21:58] only dekpok [22:03] only desk
