[18:58] <Gino> Hey eveyone
[18:58] <Gino> Anyone here?
[18:59] <diogenes_> whoever
[19:00] <Gino> Dumb question... where can I get some help with networking in lubunti 18.04?
[19:00] <Gino> *lubuntu
[19:01] <wxl> um, here.
[19:01] <Gino> Great. As you can see... noob alert. My apologies upfront
[19:02] <Gino> I installed lubuntu 18.04, but cannot get it to connect to my home network
[19:02] <wxl> wifi?
[19:03] <Gino> Nope, ethernet
[19:03] <wxl> ooh that's new
[19:05] <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)
[19:07] <Gino_> Lost connection...
[19:08] <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)
[19:09] <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
[19:14] <Gino> Sorry... connection keeps dropping
[19:14] <wxl> did you get anything i said?
[19:15] <Gino> Trying to start this dinosaur up
[19:16] <Gino> I get a garbled screen, and I can only get past that if I hit shift at the right time during startup
[19:17] <Gino> I tried to add nomodeset to grub, but I cant get it to start properly. Basically limping along
[19:21] <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
[21:53] <tito_> hi
[21:57] <tito_> is there more lighter than lubuntu?
[21:58] <Unit193> Just install from the mini.iso and install openbox, not a full DE.
[21:58] <tito_> only dekpok
[22:03] <tito_> only desk
