| mnemoc | hi, what's the panel plugin to see the applications running? I lost it when upgrading to xfce 4.14 (ppa) | 18:39 |
| Spass[m] | hello mnemoc it's called Window Buttons | 19:55 |
| mnemoc | Spass[m]: thanks! | 20:08 |
| friendlyGoat | looked further into what my problem was yesterday. after experimenting a bit i realized i can connect to my wifi if i turn off its password but when i have my password turned on i cant connect on ubuntu at all. | 23:28 |
| friendlyGoat | whenever i have the password turned on on my router my network manager plugin just stays at "requesting a network address for (wifi name)" but i can connect just fine if i remove my router's password. | 23:28 |
| friendlyGoat | perhaps its a problem with WPA Supplicant? i have no idea but jeeez | 23:29 |
| genii | Does the router broadcast it's SSID? | 23:31 |
| friendlyGoat | yes it does. | 23:32 |
| genii | .. I remember there used to be some weirdness with WPA when the access point is hidden | 23:32 |
| friendlyGoat | i can see my network is available but when i try to connect to it and put in the right password and everything it just laods forever saying its requesting a network address | 23:33 |
| friendlyGoat | this started a few days ago and bugs me immensely | 23:33 |
| friendlyGoat | i can connect if i turn off the router's password completely but thats not sustainable | 23:34 |
| genii | Yes, it would be annoying | 23:34 |
| genii | Does the router have some feature like captured portal? | 23:36 |
| friendlyGoat | no | 23:36 |
| genii | friendlyGoat: You could try command-line method like: wpa_passphrase your-ESSID your-passphrase | sudo tee /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf then sudo wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i adapter-name-here | 23:41 |
| genii | ( and then sudo dhclient adapter-name-here to get an actual IP from the router) | 23:43 |
| genii | If the wpa_supplicant command fails, it may at least give some useful error | 23:44 |
| friendlyGoat | gonna try it now thanks | 23:52 |
| friendlyGoat | what do you mean adapter name here | 23:54 |
