[11:56] <ChrisWere> Hi all, I'm getting random disconnections on my WIFI which I haven't had on other distros, either previous Ubuntus or Manjaro. Is anyone familiar with this problem?
[11:57] <sixwheeledbeast> Laptop? Driver issue?
[11:59] <ChrisWere> Well I can't see it being a driver issue as it works on other distros including 18.10. It's an entroware triton, the WIFI card is an intel 3165
[12:01] <ChrisWere> The connection just drops out, the the password dialog box pops up and I just click connect and I'm reconnected.
[12:03] <sixwheeledbeast> It would be the first place to look is all. Where the driver versions the same between the two distros?
[12:04] <ChrisWere> I don't know, how would I find out?
[12:04] <sixwheeledbeast> grep dpkg
[12:06] <ChrisWere> I'm just getting a blinking cursor when I type that
[12:09] <sixwheeledbeast> it wasn't a full command just a comment. try "lshw | grep driverversion"
[12:10] <ChrisWere> Sorry you've lost me.
[12:18] <ChrisWere> Ah ok, diver version is 5.0.0-20
[12:30] <sixwheeledbeast> search says there a a few people that have issues on certain kernel versions. maybe check that too. I have had issues with broadcom cards on certain kernels "uname -a"
[12:35] <ChrisWere> How do I switch kernal versions?
[12:38] <ChrisWere> this is all very complicated
[12:42] <ChrisWere> I've got an appointment I have to make, so I'm going to have to leave. Thanks for the help, but I'll have to come back to this later, or install a different distro. Thanks again.
[12:43] <sixwheeledbeast> select available ones at boot
[14:39] <ObiDriftKenobi> hi i just wanna tell the devs that ubuntu mate is awesome!
[17:24] <ChrisWere> I'm told from others that my WIFI cutting out may be due to some new power saving feature? Would anyone happen to know about this?
[17:41] <ChrisWere> I've sent a ticket request to Entroware, to see if they can get to the bottom of it, since there's no progress made here. But if any of you good folks would like to chime in on suggestions, I'll be here.
[17:52] <ChrisWere> Ahh, I think i found the issue thanks to a forum post.
