plus2equalsmewxl it's a bcm4321 (14e4:4328 rev 03)00:01
wxlplus2equalsme: and which kernel?00:01
wxlsorry00:02
wxlkernel driver00:02
plus2equalsmeUm, whatever is standard for a 64-bit fresh install of 18.0400:02
wxlare you currently using00:02
wxlfollow the instructions and you'll see it00:02
plus2equalsmeOh, um, stand by, not at that machine00:02
wxlthe instructions you need are here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing_STA_drivers00:03
wxlbasically the bcmwl-kernel-source package will do the trick00:04
plus2equalsmeyes, I'm running the bcmwl-kernel-driver00:04
wxlit lists that as the module00:04
wxlcuz that's weird00:05
plus2equalsmeyeah, not so much wxl it scans available networks but never actually connects to mine, instead it asks for the password every minute or 2, even after I input it00:05
wxlhave you checked other networks?00:05
plus2equalsmeYeah, that's why I'm in chat, trying to figure it out. I don't have the passwords to join any of the other networks it picks up (except for my "guest" network, didn't think to try that one, it DOES have a simpler password on it though)00:06
plus2equalsmeI will go test on that machine in a few and see what happens with the guest network00:11
wxlsounds good00:11
wxlif that fails, uninstalling that and trying broadcom-sta would be the next step. failing that, install the upstream packages which will be much harder00:12
plus2equalsmeJust in case, are there guides for installing the upstream packages? I'm fairly new to *nix so need some guidance00:13
wxlonly the ones they provide00:13
wxlso not beginner friendly00:13
plus2equalsmeI understand.00:14
plus2equalsmeI'm going to set away and go test now. Thank you00:15
wxloh yeah this involves actually compiling the kernel module00:15
wxlyou don't want to do that XD00:15
wxlshoot it would probably a better use of your resources just to buy some cheap usb wifi adapter!00:16
plus2equalsmeThat's why I gave up on freebsd, which was the FIRST *nix I tried on that machine, came down to compiling the kernel, and couldn't find enough info on it to make me comfortable trying it00:16
plus2equalsmetrue that, I'd have to get a hub too though (it's a mid2007 macbook!)00:17
plus2equalsmeanyway, gonna go test00:17
wxlgood luck!00:17
plus2equalsmealright!!!!!! connected to the guest network no problem. So, now I know the problem would appear to be in my security setup on the primary network00:39
plus2equalsmeeither the access control, or the too complex password, would be my guess. Which do you think I should start with?00:40
wxlplus2equalsme: i'd be shocked if it was the password. although if you've got some special characters that might be a thing00:44
plus2equalsmeit00:44
plus2equalsmeit's one I have left over from the old wep passphrase days (kept the password it generated so I wouldn't have to reconfigure a couple of devices when I upgraded the router years ago), so it's a very long hex string00:46
plus2equalsmeexcept, I may have celebrated early, I'm on the network, but not getting out to the internet00:46
wxlmight be a router/isp issue still00:53
plus2equalsmeoy, turned off access control, and already I've got someone trying to get into my network01:00
wxlh4x0rzzzz!01:01
plus2equalsmeyup01:03
plus2equalsmethe odd thing is, looks like they've been previously allowed01:03
plus2equalsmeneed to go check something01:03
plus2equalsmeok, really weird, looks like I'm gonna have to do some more research on this01:12
wxl[m]Hmm? You think it's the router?01:18
plus2equalsmeit might be the router, it is on it's last legs, tends to randomly deny internet to 1 or 2 of the several devices I have attached01:24
plus2equalsmeI just don't have the funds to replace it right now01:25
plus2equalsme(if I did I'd go get a cheap desktop system to do what I'm trying to get the aging macbook to do as well)01:25
plus2equalsmecould also be that I've got a rpi running a local dns for webdev purposes01:26
plus2equalsmewill, sigh, probably not the router02:37
lotuspsychjetsimonq2: awake?05:03
wxli'm sure he's not05:03
lotuspsychjeok tnx wxl05:03
wxlwhat do you need?05:03
lotuspsychjei still got that lubuntu double network icon on 18.04 installs05:04
wxlyeah he mentioned that the other day and that he'd fix it05:04
wxlhe explained it to me and i found it weird05:04
wxlhaven't investigated further05:04
lotuspsychjeallrighty05:04
lotuspsychjei know ive seen some earlier bugs for that05:05
wxlbut i guess there's a non-network maanager icon that's also sometimes a network icon05:05
wxlwhich is different than earlier bugs when we actually had two nm panel items05:05
lotuspsychjeah kk05:05
wxleither way the issue is one two many panel icons05:05
lotuspsychjeauto updates are on so np :p05:06
wxlright click on both of them.. what do they say they are?05:06
lotuspsychjelets c05:06
lotuspsychjeoh wait, updates fixxed it05:06
wxloh heh maybe he did fix it05:06
lotuspsychjeonly 1 after reboot now05:06
lotuspsychjeif you see him awake, let him know ok05:07
wxlk05:07

lubot<Pradeep_Rwes> Hello everyone I'm new to linux so i was thinking to make a dual boot09:34
lubot<Pradeep_Rwes> I created a 40 gig partition  free space for lubuntu09:34
lubot<Pradeep_Rwes> But in the installer09:34
lubot<Pradeep_Rwes> It is showing like this09:35
lubot<Pradeep_Rwes> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/7EPjwLA.jpg09:35
lubot<Pradeep_Rwes> Showing the entire hardrive as 1.7 tb ... Where in ... Windows partition table it is like this09:35
lubot<Pradeep_Rwes> (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/bZIUr2e.jpg09:35
leszekseems like the partitions might be dos format and not gpt and that does not allow more than 4 primary partitions09:39
lubot<Pradeep_Rwes> K thank u10:12
lotus|NUCwxl: yes both icons similar13:22
lotus|NUCwxl: and when connecting a network, both simultaneous turn13:22
lotus|NUCthat happened on the lubuntu 32bit 18.04 iso from the website13:23
lotus|NUCcant recall if previous install was 64bit or 32bit13:23

lubot<Mahdis> Hi all, I am currently trying to run a live image of lubuntu on an old machine with atom processor and it takes about 5 minutes each time to boot up! It there any where that I can get support (even paid) to edit the image to a lighter version so it boots up faster?23:09
wxl@Mahdis what are the specs on this machine? which version of Lubuntu? why not use the installed image rather than live?23:11
lubot<tsimonq2> @Mahdis [Hi all, I am currently trying to run a live image of lubuntu on an old machine w …], For paid support you can call +1 (866) 280-1433 or email support@altispeed.com but if you want to save a few pennies we can certainly help you here. :)23:12
lubot<Mahdis> Thank you Simon! I will definitely come back here after I discuss it with my team.23:13
lubot<tsimonq2> @Mahdis [Thank you Simon! I will definitely come back here after I discuss it with my tea …], Excellent, thanks for coming by.23:19
