| alexandros_c | good day is the update for 18.04 to 20.04 out? | 02:40 |
|---|---|---|
| Bashing-om | alexandros_c: Last I was aware the .1 is to be released Jul23. | 02:57 |
| alexandros_c | thanks for responding, so no upgrade path from 18.04 to 20.04 as yet? | 02:59 |
| Bashing-om | alexandros_c: There is a means if you are in a hurry - yes . | 03:01 |
| alexandros_c | no I am not in a hurry just checking | 03:02 |
| alexandros_c | once again, thanks Bashing-om for asking my questions | 03:03 |
| Bashing-om | alexandros_c: Be aware that untill the .1 release that 20.04 remains under the development umbrella. There is a command to effect that release upgrade. | 03:03 |
| alexandros_c | just out of curiosity, what is it? | 03:04 |
| Bashing-om | alexandros_c: Once your system is fully updated - PPAs reverted ( graphic's driver) then ' sudo do-release-upgrade -d ' . | 03:06 |
| alexandros_c | it did that and it said no updates available | 03:08 |
| Bashing-om | alexandros_c: Terminal command ' grep -i ^prompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades ' returns what ? | 03:09 |
| alexandros_c | I am not at that machine atm | 03:11 |
| alexandros_c | I will try it when I git access to that machine | 03:12 |
| alexandros_c | *get | 03:12 |
| Bashing-om | alexandros_c: ack - no hurry :P | 03:12 |
| alexandros_c | lol | 03:13 |

| xu-help23w | Hey, I am having trouble establishing an initial wifi connection on my new xubuntu system. | 16:10 |
| diogenes_ | xu-help23w, initial? | 16:14 |
| xu-help23w | Yes, my first connection to a wireless network | 16:14 |
| diogenes_ | xu-help23w, details | 16:17 |
| xu-help23w | I am selecting the Icon in the taskbar and I have only a few avaliable options: VPN Connections, Enable Networking (checked) and Edit Connections | 16:18 |
| xu-help23w | The unselected ones are Ethernet network, and connection information | 16:18 |
| diogenes_ | xu-help23w, can you connect with cable? | 16:19 |
| xu-help23w | No, I dont have a space ethernet cable | 16:19 |
| xu-help23w | No, I dont have a space ethernet cable | 16:20 |
| diogenes_ | xu-help23w, try with phone tethering. | 16:20 |
| juno | run dmesg and look for detection of your wifi card | 16:21 |
| xu-help23w | I should mention that I am dual booting | 16:23 |
| xu-help23w | so that may effect tethering | 16:23 |
| diogenes_ | xu-help23w, it won't affect anything. | 16:23 |
| xu-help23w | What should I look for when running dmesg | 16:24 |
| diogenes_ | it would be almost impossible to fix your issue if you don't get internet on that PC. | 16:25 |
| xu-help23w | After enabling tethering, where should I look to check for connections? | 16:26 |
| diogenes_ | it should be via usb cable just open firefox. | 16:27 |
| juno | something like 'dmesg | grep -i wifi' or 'dmesg | grep -i wlan' | 16:28 |
| xu-help23w | No matches | 16:29 |
| xu-help23w | Should I try a different linux distro? | 16:29 |
| juno | from the options you listed in the applet it sounds like the wifi isn't enabled at the hardware level | 16:30 |
| juno | or its just a complete driver failure which wouldn't be too surprising | 16:30 |
| juno | but i would expect to see that in dmesg | 16:31 |
| juno | do you know the chipset of your card? | 16:34 |
| xu-help23w | I do not, is there a way to get this hardware info? | 16:35 |
| juno | try lspci | 16:35 |
| juno | maybe slpci -knn | 16:35 |
| juno | lspci -knn | 16:36 |
| juno | sorry | 16:36 |
| xu-help23w | Yeah, quick hardware test says processing is fine | 16:36 |
| juno | need to find the chipset | 16:38 |
| juno | so, lspci | grep -i broadcom | 16:38 |
| juno | same for intel | 16:39 |
| xu-help23w | just lspci? | 16:39 |
| xu-help23w | no flags/ | 16:39 |
| juno | try lspci | grep -i wireless too | 16:39 |
| xu-help23w | it lists my network controller | 16:39 |
| xu-help23w | PCIe Wireless network adapter | 16:40 |
| juno | ah good | 16:41 |
| juno | so anything in 'dmesg | grep -i pcie' | 16:42 |
| xu-help23w | ACPI FAST deckares the system doesn't support PCIe ASPM, so dsiable it | 16:43 |
| xu-help23w | FADT* | 16:43 |
| xu-help23w | and it lists pcieports | 16:43 |
| juno | you might try: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-wireless-troubleshooting-hardware-check.html | 16:44 |
| xu-help23w | From the looks of it I have a supported wireless card | 16:51 |
| xu-help23w | (reltec PCI) | 16:51 |
| xu-help23w | I think the network drivers may be the issue. | 16:52 |
| xu-help23w | They may not be dysfunctional, but they were designed for windows machines. | 16:52 |
| juno | does 'dmesg | grep -i reltec' show any errors | 16:52 |
| juno | sorry i meant realtek | 16:53 |
| xu-help23w | I dont see any errors, just memory addresses, and driver information | 16:54 |
| xu-help23w | ``ums-realtek 1-9:1.0: USB Mass sotrage device detected`` | 16:55 |
| juno | at this point I would follow this advice: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-wireless-troubleshooting-device-drivers.html.en | 16:56 |
| xu-help23w | Is there a way to check if your driver is designed for a particular operating system? | 16:57 |
| xu-help23w | Maybe I should use the NDISwrapper? | 16:58 |
| juno | without knowing the exact chipset, I don't know | 16:58 |
| juno | but if it's designed for windows, you're probably SOL with that card | 16:58 |
| xu-help23w | SOL? | 17:01 |
| juno | it probably won't work if it's windows-specific | 17:03 |
| xu-help23w | So say I have the chipset, how can I tell if my driver is Windows-Specific? | 17:04 |
| xu-help23w | chipset information* | 17:06 |
| juno | check this list: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported | 17:06 |
| xu-help23w | Realtec support pci and usb | 17:07 |
| xu-help23w | supports* | 17:07 |
| juno | chipsets: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsRealTek | 17:08 |
| xu-help23w | What if my chipset is not stated in the By Card Section? | 17:12 |
| juno | at this point I'd throw up my hands and go buy a cheap tp-link usb card :) | 17:14 |
| juno | sorry I can't be of further help | 17:15 |
| Previous | @juno | 17:19 |
| Previous | sorry, my broadband disconnected | 17:19 |
| Previous | What should I do given that my chipset is not listed on wifidocs | 17:21 |
| juno | at this point I'd throw up my hands and go buy a cheap tp-link usb card :) | 17:27 |
| juno | sorry I can't be of further help | 17:27 |
