[02:52] <bleb> hi.  does xubuntu still get non-DE updates from ubuntu after the lts support runs out?
[02:57] <genii> no
[02:58] <bleb> after the 3 year xubuntu lts support runs out i mean
[04:37] <bleb> one more question - where/when are xresources set in xubuntu?  i'm trying to make my xterm not white-on-black
[04:38] <ball> bleb: Eww.  You could probably edit the launcher though
[04:39] <ball> xterm or terminal?
[04:39] <bleb> xterm. i put xrdb ~/.Xresources in ~/.profile (which make it black one white), but it's still white on black
[04:39] <bleb> s/make/should &/
[05:11] <ball> bleb: open a terminal and then type "xterm"
[05:11] <ball> ...it could be that the terminal you're looking at isn't xterm.
[05:11] <ball> (because xterm is old and, in some ways, lacking).
[05:13] <bleb> i just had to explicitly define white on black
[05:14] <bleb> before i was relying on the app-defaults and xrdb ~/.Xresources would remove the *cusomization: -color from xrdb, causing it to use the white on black default
[05:16] <bleb> but the script run by lightdm sources .profile before it builds the other xrdb stuff, so the *customization: -color was being added back in, causing it to use the XTerm-color default which is white on black
[05:18] <ball> ok
[13:18] <visone> howdy¡
[13:18] <knome> hello
[13:40] <xubuntu16w> hi, I have a problem with a WIFI card: The card needs firmware, which is not in the distribution. I have the firmware, but it looks like the name does not match. How can I find out, which file the system tries to find? I use Xubuntu 18.04.01.
[13:50] <diogenes_> xubuntu16w, lspci -nnk | grep Net -A3
[14:05] <xubuntu16w> This command gives me:
[14:05] <diogenes_> xubuntu16w, wait
[14:05] <diogenes_> don't paste here
[14:05] <diogenes_> !pastebin
[14:08] <xubuntu16w> OK - let me ask as follows: I get the name of the controller: "Texas Instruments ACX 111" - how do I form the file name out of this message?
[14:10] <diogenes_> xubuntu16w, first run: lspci -nnk | grep Net -A3
[14:10] <diogenes_> then cp[y what you get in terminal to https://paste.ubuntu.com
[14:10] <diogenes_> then sahre the link here
[14:10] <diogenes_> share*
[14:11] <xubuntu16w> Can't do - the computer with the problem has no network connection,  I can just type
[14:12] <diogenes_> what device are you typing now from?
[14:12] <xubuntu16w> from my computer with perfect connection and everything OK
[14:13] <diogenes_> have you got an ethernet cabke?
[14:13] <diogenes_> cable*
[14:13] <xubuntu16w> I can install - will take a while
[14:14] <diogenes_> then use the ethernet, even you can share the internet from your pc to the other one via cable
[14:14] <diogenes_> no need to connect to your router
[14:15] <xubuntu16w> Ok - I did
[14:16] <diogenes_> now go ahead and chat from that pc
[14:20] <xubuntu16w_> Now I'm back on the computer with the problem
[14:21] <diogenes_> lspci -nnk | grep Net -A3
[14:21] <diogenes_> and
[14:21] <diogenes_> !pastebin
[14:21] <diogenes_> !pastebin
[14:21] <diogenes_> damn
[14:21] <xubuntu16w_> What means !pastebin? I have done the command
[14:21] <diogenes_> paste the output to https://paste.ubuntu.com
[14:22] <diogenes_> share the link
[14:22] <xubuntu16w_> OK got you
[14:23] <xubuntu16w_> link: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vwyd6g2sJf/
[14:26] <diogenes_> xubuntu16w_, try this: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2086711
[14:32] <xubuntu16w_> OK I'll try - thanks
[14:32] <diogenes_> you're welcome, and come back with the feedback
[14:33] <xubuntu16w_> Yes, I will reboot, and give feed back.
[14:43] <xubuntu16w_> @diogenes: didn't work
[14:43] <diogenes_> xubuntu16w_, what exacly you tried
[14:46] <xubuntu16w_> I looked into the directory /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity for the firmware. Found the mentioned files wl1251-fw.bin and
[14:47] <xubuntu16w_> wl1251-nvs.bin. copied both files to /lib/firmware and rebooted.
[14:48] <diogenes_> run this: sudo modprobe -v wl1251_sdio
[14:50] <xubuntu16w_> OK - so far no changes
[14:50] <diogenes_> now run: sudo rfkill | nc termbin.com 9999
[14:51] <diogenes_> share the link here
[14:52] <xubuntu16w_> did - no system answer
[14:53] <diogenes_> sorry
[14:53] <diogenes_> this one
[14:53] <diogenes_> sudo rfkill list | nc termbin.com 9999
[14:53] <xubuntu16w_> which
[14:53] <diogenes_> ^^
[14:54] <xubuntu16w_> the command operates but gives no answer back
[14:55] <diogenes_> try only: sudo rfkill list
[14:55] <diogenes_> see if you get putput
[14:55] <xubuntu16w_> no
[14:56] <xubuntu16w_> I mean: no output
[14:56] <diogenes_> ok download this: https://netix.dl.sourceforge.net/project/acx100/acx100_old/20080210/acx-20080210.tar.bz2
[14:57] <xubuntu16w_> sure ? the acx100 is not compatible with acx111 - that's what I figured out before
[15:02] <diogenes_> looks like it's no that easy
[15:03] <diogenes_> xubuntu16w_, here on this page you can find many instructions, see which one works for you
[15:03] <diogenes_> https://askubuntu.com/questions/225858/how-do-i-get-a-texas-instruments-acx-111-wireless-card-working/671103
[15:03] <diogenes_> you nee lots of patience
[15:09] <xubuntu16w_> OK - I will try. Will report the result. Thanks
[15:09] <diogenes_> ok
