plus2equalsme | wxl it's a bcm4321 (14e4:4328 rev 03) | 00:01 |
---|---|---|
wxl | plus2equalsme: and which kernel? | 00:01 |
wxl | sorry | 00:02 |
wxl | kernel driver | 00:02 |
plus2equalsme | Um, whatever is standard for a 64-bit fresh install of 18.04 | 00:02 |
wxl | are you currently using | 00:02 |
wxl | follow the instructions and you'll see it | 00:02 |
plus2equalsme | Oh, um, stand by, not at that machine | 00:02 |
wxl | the instructions you need are here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing_STA_drivers | 00:03 |
wxl | basically the bcmwl-kernel-source package will do the trick | 00:04 |
plus2equalsme | yes, I'm running the bcmwl-kernel-driver | 00:04 |
wxl | it lists that as the module | 00:04 |
wxl | cuz that's weird | 00:05 |
plus2equalsme | yeah, 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 it | 00:05 |
wxl | have you checked other networks? | 00:05 |
plus2equalsme | Yeah, 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 |
plus2equalsme | I will go test on that machine in a few and see what happens with the guest network | 00:11 |
wxl | sounds good | 00:11 |
wxl | if that fails, uninstalling that and trying broadcom-sta would be the next step. failing that, install the upstream packages which will be much harder | 00:12 |
plus2equalsme | Just in case, are there guides for installing the upstream packages? I'm fairly new to *nix so need some guidance | 00:13 |
wxl | only the ones they provide | 00:13 |
wxl | so not beginner friendly | 00:13 |
plus2equalsme | I understand. | 00:14 |
plus2equalsme | I'm going to set away and go test now. Thank you | 00:15 |
wxl | oh yeah this involves actually compiling the kernel module | 00:15 |
wxl | you don't want to do that XD | 00:15 |
wxl | shoot it would probably a better use of your resources just to buy some cheap usb wifi adapter! | 00:16 |
plus2equalsme | That'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 it | 00:16 |
plus2equalsme | true that, I'd have to get a hub too though (it's a mid2007 macbook!) | 00:17 |
plus2equalsme | anyway, gonna go test | 00:17 |
wxl | good luck! | 00:17 |
plus2equalsme | alright!!!!!! connected to the guest network no problem. So, now I know the problem would appear to be in my security setup on the primary network | 00:39 |
plus2equalsme | either the access control, or the too complex password, would be my guess. Which do you think I should start with? | 00:40 |
wxl | plus2equalsme: i'd be shocked if it was the password. although if you've got some special characters that might be a thing | 00:44 |
plus2equalsme | it | 00:44 |
plus2equalsme | it'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 string | 00:46 |
plus2equalsme | except, I may have celebrated early, I'm on the network, but not getting out to the internet | 00:46 |
wxl | might be a router/isp issue still | 00:53 |
plus2equalsme | oy, turned off access control, and already I've got someone trying to get into my network | 01:00 |
wxl | h4x0rzzzz! | 01:01 |
plus2equalsme | yup | 01:03 |
plus2equalsme | the odd thing is, looks like they've been previously allowed | 01:03 |
plus2equalsme | need to go check something | 01:03 |
plus2equalsme | ok, really weird, looks like I'm gonna have to do some more research on this | 01:12 |
wxl[m] | Hmm? You think it's the router? | 01:18 |
plus2equalsme | it 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 attached | 01:24 |
plus2equalsme | I just don't have the funds to replace it right now | 01:25 |
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 |
plus2equalsme | could also be that I've got a rpi running a local dns for webdev purposes | 01:26 |
plus2equalsme | will, sigh, probably not the router | 02:37 |
lotuspsychje | tsimonq2: awake? | 05:03 |
wxl | i'm sure he's not | 05:03 |
lotuspsychje | ok tnx wxl | 05:03 |
wxl | what do you need? | 05:03 |
lotuspsychje | i still got that lubuntu double network icon on 18.04 installs | 05:04 |
wxl | yeah he mentioned that the other day and that he'd fix it | 05:04 |
wxl | he explained it to me and i found it weird | 05:04 |
wxl | haven't investigated further | 05:04 |
lotuspsychje | allrighty | 05:04 |
lotuspsychje | i know ive seen some earlier bugs for that | 05:05 |
wxl | but i guess there's a non-network maanager icon that's also sometimes a network icon | 05:05 |
wxl | which is different than earlier bugs when we actually had two nm panel items | 05:05 |
lotuspsychje | ah kk | 05:05 |
wxl | either way the issue is one two many panel icons | 05:05 |
lotuspsychje | auto updates are on so np :p | 05:06 |
wxl | right click on both of them.. what do they say they are? | 05:06 |
lotuspsychje | lets c | 05:06 |
lotuspsychje | oh wait, updates fixxed it | 05:06 |
wxl | oh heh maybe he did fix it | 05:06 |
lotuspsychje | only 1 after reboot now | 05:06 |
lotuspsychje | if you see him awake, let him know ok | 05:07 |
wxl | k | 05:07 |
lotuspsychje | tnx | 05:08 |
wxl | hey lotuspsychje were they the same visually? | 05:08 |

lubot | <Pradeep_Rwes> Hello everyone I'm new to linux so i was thinking to make a dual boot | 09:34 |
lubot | <Pradeep_Rwes> I created a 40 gig partition free space for lubuntu | 09:34 |
lubot | <Pradeep_Rwes> But in the installer | 09:34 |
lubot | <Pradeep_Rwes> It is showing like this | 09:35 |
lubot | <Pradeep_Rwes> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/7EPjwLA.jpg | 09:35 |
lubot | <Pradeep_Rwes> Showing the entire hardrive as 1.7 tb ... Where in ... Windows partition table it is like this | 09:35 |
lubot | <Pradeep_Rwes> (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/bZIUr2e.jpg | 09:35 |
leszek | seems like the partitions might be dos format and not gpt and that does not allow more than 4 primary partitions | 09:39 |
lubot | <Pradeep_Rwes> K thank u | 10:12 |
lotus|NUC | wxl: yes both icons similar | 13:22 |
lotus|NUC | wxl: and when connecting a network, both simultaneous turn | 13:22 |
lotus|NUC | that happened on the lubuntu 32bit 18.04 iso from the website | 13:23 |
lotus|NUC | cant recall if previous install was 64bit or 32bit | 13:23 |

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 |
