[00:01] <plus2equalsme> wxl it's a bcm4321 (14e4:4328 rev 03)
[00:01] <wxl> plus2equalsme: and which kernel?
[00:02] <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
[00:03] <wxl> the instructions you need are here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing_STA_drivers
[00:04] <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
[00:05] <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?
[00:06] <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)
[00:11] <plus2equalsme> I will go test on that machine in a few and see what happens with the guest network
[00:11] <wxl> sounds good
[00:12] <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
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <plus2equalsme> I understand.
[00:15] <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
[00:16] <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
[00:17] <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!
[00:39] <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
[00:40] <plus2equalsme> either the access control, or the too complex password, would be my guess. Which do you think I should start with?
[00:44] <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
[00:46] <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
[00:53] <wxl> might be a router/isp issue still
[01:00] <plus2equalsme> oy, turned off access control, and already I've got someone trying to get into my network
[01:01] <wxl> h4x0rzzzz!
[01:03] <plus2equalsme> yup
[01:03] <plus2equalsme> the odd thing is, looks like they've been previously allowed
[01:03] <plus2equalsme> need to go check something
[01:12] <plus2equalsme> ok, really weird, looks like I'm gonna have to do some more research on this
[01:18] <wxl[m]> Hmm? You think it's the router?
[01:24] <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
[01:25] <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)
[01:26] <plus2equalsme> could also be that I've got a rpi running a local dns for webdev purposes
[02:37] <plus2equalsme> will, sigh, probably not the router
[05:03] <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?
[05:04] <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
[05:05] <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
[05:06] <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
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> if you see him awake, let him know ok
[05:07] <wxl> k
[05:08] <lotuspsychje> tnx
[05:08] <wxl> hey lotuspsychje were they the same visually?
 Hello everyone I'm new to linux so i was thinking to make a dual boot
 I created a 40 gig partition  free space for lubuntu
 But in the installer
 It is showing like this
 (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/7EPjwLA.jpg
 Showing the entire hardrive as 1.7 tb ... Where in ... Windows partition table it is like this
 (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/bZIUr2e.jpg
[09:39] <leszek> seems like the partitions might be dos format and not gpt and that does not allow more than 4 primary partitions
 K thank u
[13:22] <lotus|NUC> wxl: yes both icons similar
[13:22] <lotus|NUC> wxl: and when connecting a network, both simultaneous turn
[13:23] <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
 Welcome!

 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?
[23:11] <wxl> @Mahdis what are the specs on this machine? which version of Lubuntu? why not use the installed image rather than live?
 @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. :)
 Thank you Simon! I will definitely come back here after I discuss it with my team.
