| implite | hello can i get some help to make my wifi work on my dell d620 laptop? | 18:33 |
| wxl | could you pastebin up `lspci -nnk`? | 18:34 |
| lubot | <teward001> and explain what isn't working currently, if you can. :) | 18:35 |
| lubot | <teward001> "not working' is vague :) | 18:35 |
| implite | i dont see any networks | 18:35 |
| lubot | <teward001> ah. then yes please put into a pastebin the output of the command `lspci -nnk` :) | 18:37 |
| implite | how do i pastebin? | 18:37 |
| wxl | !pastebinit | 18:38 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit | 18:38 |
| implite | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/66gqrp9RNm/ | 18:39 |
| implite | to make my wifi work in mint linux i needed to use this command sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-dkms.conf | 18:42 |
| implite | but it does not help here i think | 18:43 |
| implite | No such file or directory | 18:43 |
| diogenes_ | implite, run: sudo rfkill list | nc termbin.com 9999 | 18:46 |
| diogenes_ | share the link here | 18:46 |
| implite | http://termbin.com/p756 | 18:47 |
| diogenes_ | now: ls /etc/modprobe.d | nc termbin.com 9999 | 18:48 |
| diogenes_ | share | 18:49 |
| lubot | <mekschr> diogenes | 18:49 |
| diogenes_ | mekschr, what? | 18:49 |
| implite | http://termbin.com/xr70 | 18:50 |
| lubot | <teward001> just going to say but this might be helpful? https://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers | 18:50 |
| lubot | <mekschr> do you remember my problem ? | 18:51 |
| diogenes_ | implite, ok first follow the link you have been given, if that doesn't work, come back here | 18:51 |
| diogenes_ | mekschr, remind me | 18:51 |
| lubot | <mekschr> that linux couldn't run 1366x768 | 18:52 |
| diogenes_ | mekschr, ok and did you fix it? | 18:52 |
| lubot | <mekschr> you fixed it for me using xrandr command script at autostart | 18:53 |
| diogenes_ | mekschr, so the issue is solved? | 18:53 |
| lubot | <mekschr> My GPU has DVI-I port only, so I was using A VGA to VGA cable connected to a converter adapter VGA to DVI-I then to the GPU | 18:54 |
| diogenes_ | and? | 18:54 |
| lubot | <mekschr> Today I bought a VGA to DVI-A cable then connected it to DVI-I GPU, I don't know the difference between DVI-A and DVI-I but anyways that's not the matter | 18:56 |
| lubot | <mekschr> now i noticed a huge difference in xorg.log file | 18:56 |
| lubot | <mekschr> so i want to show you xorg.log using both setups, because somehow, now the monitor runs at 1366x768 without any script | 18:57 |
| diogenes_ | you should care about the log only if something doesn't work | 18:57 |
| diogenes_ | if everything works then all is well | 18:57 |
| lubot | <mekschr> yes but i want to know what was the source of the problem at first | 18:58 |
| diogenes_ | maybe the port, cable, no clue because the driver seemed to work correctly | 18:59 |
| lubot | <mekschr> the screen name in display settings now is changed ... at first it was called Default Screen, now it actually detects the name of the monitor and shows Samsung Syncmaster bla bla bla | 18:59 |
| wxl | probably something about the different cables | 19:00 |
| lubot | <mekschr> Does that mean that at first, Linux wasn't detecting the monitor wrongly ? | 19:00 |
| wxl | like there's one more wire on the new noe | 19:00 |
| wxl | and that was carrying the identifying information | 19:00 |
| diogenes_ | ^^^ | 19:01 |
| wxl | that or it was something getting lost in that VGA to VGA cable which probably didn't include wires that might be appropriate for DVI | 19:01 |
| lubot | <mekschr> The monitor now runs 1366x768 by default without using xrandr, yesterday with the old setup I couldn't set the resolution to anything higher than 1024x768 except by using diogenes' script | 19:02 |
| lubot | <mekschr> so seems like the whole problem was hardware-related | 19:03 |
| diogenes_ | mekschr, sometimes hardware have mysterious lock ups and then magically fix themselves | 19:04 |
| diogenes_ | maybe you needed an exorcist :) | 19:04 |
| lubot | <mekschr> xorg.log at first wasn't showing EDID code, after changing thr cable, now it shows EDID code | 19:04 |
| diogenes_ | the it's obvious that it's cable | 19:05 |
| lubot | <mekschr> Anyways, It is now running 1366x768 with 59.8 Hz not 60 Hz, is that normal in linux ? | 19:05 |
| lubot | <mekschr> After all, I would like to thank you a lot for your efforts to help me, much appreciated <3, now I can enjoy any linux distro | 19:07 |
| diogenes_ | mekschr, cheers! | 19:10 |
| Nielzie | lubuntu lxqt is a very enjoyable distro. There's no need to enjoy other distros. | 19:10 |
| lubot | <mekschr> Nielzie I mean at first I couldn't use any Linux Distro because I couldn't set the resolution to 1366x768 | 19:12 |
| wxl | i wouldn't worry abotu the 59.8Hz. it's close enough to be 60. some monitors might be happier with a slight change | 19:12 |
| lubot | <mekschr> Now the new cable fixed my problem and I can finally enter the world of linux | 19:12 |
| lubot | <mekschr> and since my pc is very old, i m probably going to use Lubuntu | 19:13 |
| diogenes_ | good choice | 19:13 |
| implite | wifi working now thanks! | 19:14 |
| implite | how come that is not added in fresh install? | 19:15 |
| wxl | implite: proprietary drivers. boo. broadcom sucks. | 19:16 |
| wxl | @mekschr apparently with long cables, EDID is degraded, so that might be the issue, too. | 19:16 |
| wxl | it's remotely possible that the additional VGA/VGA cable also somehow resulted in degraded signal | 19:18 |
| wxl | that's what a quick DuckDuckGo search tells me, at least. i'm not a hardware expert, per se. | 19:18 |
| lubot | <mekschr> I never thought the problem was because of the cable | 19:21 |
| lubot | <mekschr> I have been trying to install different distributions thinking it was a linux-related problem | 19:21 |
| wxl | #1 thing i do in troubleshooting is try to eliminate the possibility of hardware issues | 19:21 |
| Nielzie | 1366x768 is a resolution normally used on small laptops, right? So why vga cable? | 19:22 |
| lubot | <mekschr> By the way, I have never used anything except Windows 7 but now I want to migrate to Linux | 19:22 |
| lubot | <mekschr> Nielzie this is my monitor https://www.samsung.com/africa_en/monitors/led-b1930n/ | 19:23 |
| lubot | <mekschr> wxl I have asked a lot in Reddit and Ubuntuforums and they told me the problem was because my video card is old and unsupported and they all said i had to buy a new gpu | 19:24 |
| Nielzie | ahh I see.. | 19:25 |
| lubot | <mekschr> Should I install 18.10 or 18.04 ? : D | 19:26 |
| lubot | <teward001> it depends :P | 19:26 |
| lubot | <teward001> I prefer the LTS of 18.04 because upgrading every 6 months is a pain in the ass | 19:26 |
| Nielzie | 18.10 works like a charm over here | 19:27 |
| lubot | <mekschr> I mean what is the difference | 19:29 |
| wxl | 18.04 is LXDE, 18.10 is LXQt | 19:31 |
| wxl | we won't be going back to LXDE | 19:31 |
| Nielzie | Big difference LXDE vs LXQT | 19:31 |
| wxl | indeed | 19:31 |
| Nielzie | It's practically a different distro | 19:32 |
| Nielzie | with same name | 19:32 |
| Nielzie | I'm pretty happy with the switch to QT | 19:33 |
| wxl | like LXQt will be well supported into the future...... while LXDE continues to struggle with GTK3 support while GTK4 looms in the near distance | 19:33 |
| wxl | and GTK LOOOOOVES to break backward compatibility so that's no small issue | 19:35 |
| Nielzie | LXQT looks nice and is pretty low on resources. Not as low as "old" LXDE, but very reasonable | 19:35 |
| wxl | this is on the wikipedia page for GTK: | 19:36 |
| wxl | Hong Jen Yee, developer of LXDE (which of the GTK version will be dropped and all efforts will be focused on the Qt port.[28]), expressed disdain for version 3 of the GTK+ toolkit's radical API changes and increased memory usage, and ported PCMan File Manager (PCManFM) to Qt additionally. | 19:36 |
| wxl | note *INCREASED MEMORY USAGE* | 19:36 |
| lubot | <mekschr> My specs are C2D E6550, 2GB RAM and Ati Radeon HD 4650 | 19:36 |
| wxl | so once LXDE manages to catch up with the current release of GTK, they won't be able to compare to LXQt | 19:37 |
| wxl | also note that Hong Jen Yee (aka PCMan) has entirely stopped working on the GTK version and is entirely within the Qt camp | 19:37 |
| wxl | if one of the major developers— and one concerned about resource usage— decide to jump ship.. that's pretty darn telling | 19:37 |
| Nielzie | Both KDE (also QT based) and gnome apps look good on it | 19:38 |
| Nielzie | 2GB RAM is a little low though.. I have 4GB with 2GB swap partition and that is enough for smooth working. | 19:40 |
| wxl | i've done an install with 512k. it's possible to run on very little. the biggest problem is that the modern web is extremely resource demanding. | 19:40 |
| wxl | read: javascript sucks. | 19:41 |
| Nielzie | First I tried without swap but then sometimes after a few hours of work (especially internet browsing) it hanged | 19:41 |
| lubot | <mekschr> so are my specs suitable for lubuntu 18.10 ? | 19:42 |
| wxl | there's really no difference between lxde and lxqt regarding memory | 19:42 |
| Nielzie | good question | 19:42 |
| wxl | so yes | 19:42 |
| wxl | but the more memory the better..... for using the modern web | 19:42 |
| lubot | <mekschr> i m running mint xfce right now it is running smoothly | 19:43 |
| wxl | then you'll be fine | 19:43 |
| wxl | xfce's got a little heavier footprint | 19:43 |
| Nielzie | exactly. If you have your brwser open all day it could be troubling | 19:43 |
| lubot | <mekschr> alright, i have to go, see you guys later <3 | 19:43 |
