| xu-irc23w | I'm trying to set up a manual partition scheme with LVM but the installer doesn't seem to be recognizing my ESP partition which I have mounted to /boot/efi | 04:17 |
| xu-irc23w | when I apply changes to the disc to install the system it says 'No EFI partition was found" | 04:17 |
| xu-irc23w | should I just ignore the error message and move forward with the installation? | 04:18 |
| Xu-Wifi-Help | Hello out their, I was wondering if I could get some help on a WiFi problem. I am running Xubuntu 20.04 and though I am extremely happy with the performance on it the laptop itself, I'm having WiFi issues with it. When I was running Windows 7 starter on this laptop I was getting around 30-50mbps, with Xubuntu I am getting around 10mbps at most. Any | 09:22 |
| Xu-Wifi-Help | help would be greatly appreciated | 09:22 |
| tomreyn | Xu-Wifi-Help: disabling power saving can sometimes help there. first of all, you need to look up your wireless chipset using lspci -knn | grep -EA3 '(Network|Ethernet) controller' | nc termbin.com 9999 | 09:24 |
| tomreyn | then i would recommend to make sure you have another way of accessing the internet while you play around with it (it can get tedious otherwise). | 09:25 |
| Xu-Wifi-Help | Is this the information you are looking for? | 09:26 |
| Xu-Wifi-Help | -network description: Wireless interface product: PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0 logical name: wlp3s0 | 09:26 |
| tomreyn | then run modinfo -p against the active driver module given in the above command output, to see which, if any, power saving options are available | 09:26 |
| tomreyn | partially, but there's more to it | 09:27 |
| Xu-Wifi-Help | When I put in what you sent me I got this as output: 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection [8086:4222] (rev 02)Subsystem: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection [8086:1000]Kernel driver in use: iwl3945Kernel modules: iwl3945 | 09:29 |
| tomreyn | so what'S the next step according to what i wrote? | 09:30 |
| Xu-Wifi-Help | When I run modinfo -p I get: modinfo: ERROR: missing module or filename. | 09:31 |
| tomreyn | right, you didn't specify the module | 09:31 |
| tomreyn | or driver | 09:32 |
| tomreyn | those two words basically mean the same thing | 09:32 |
| tomreyn | which kernel driver is in use to drive your wireless chipset? | 09:33 |
| tomreyn | (see the output you pasted above) | 09:33 |
| Xu-Wifi-Help | This the correct output? modinfo -p iwl3945antenna:select antenna (1=Main, 2=Aux, default 0 [both]) (int)swcrypto:using software crypto (default 1 [software]) (int)disable_hw_scan:disable hardware scanning (default 1) (int)fw_restart:restart firmware in case of error (int) | 09:35 |
| tomreyn | yes, but please use https://paste.ubuntu.com for sharing multi-line outputs | 09:35 |
| tomreyn | since there aren't a lot of options that seem useful, i'd do a web search for ubuntu OR linux OR debian iwl3945 throughput OR slow | 09:36 |
| tomreyn | ...to see what others did about this | 09:37 |
| tomreyn | you'll find all kinds of similar reports, but should always double check that they're really about your wireless driver, iwl3945, since other reports are irrelevant to you. | 09:37 |
| tomreyn | also, you run a fairly recent kernel version ("uname -r" will tell the version you're running), which means you should ignore all reports that are older than a year or two. | 09:38 |
| Xu-Wifi-Help | Ah okay, well thanks for trying to help. I tried editing the default-wifi-powersave-on.conf and set it to 2 because that seemed to be a often recommended answer. I'll keep googling, thanks for trying | 09:39 |
| tomreyn | Xu-Wifi-Help: so i searched the web a little, as suggested above, but i don't think i have a good suggestion either. | 09:43 |
| tomreyn | what you can do is to file a bug about it. | 09:44 |
| tomreyn | ubuntu-bug linux | 09:44 |
| tomreyn | you'd run this on your affected computer | 09:44 |
| tomreyn | make sure you point out that performance was better on windows. | 09:45 |
| Xu-Wifi-Help | Running it now, I will report what my issue is and what we have tried. Also will this allow me to also link screenshots as proof by any chance? | 09:46 |
| Xu-Wifi-Help | Uploading the problem information now, guess that is a negative on the screenshots xD | 09:48 |
| tomreyn | Xu-Wifi-Help: you can both attach image and text files to your bug report after posting it | 09:49 |
| tomreyn | whereveer textual output is possible, showing the same information as the graphical would, the textual variant is preferred. | 09:50 |
| Xu-Wifi-Help | Ah I see, okay I'm going to give it time to collect information and do its thing. I will type everything out as thoroughly as I can | 09:52 |
| tomreyn | great, i'll have some breakfast now, but am looking forward to take a look at what you posted later on if you like. just post the bug url here, then (if you prefer not to, that's fine, too, of course). | 09:58 |
| Xu-Wifi-Help | Thanks for the help tomreyn, enjoy your meal! Here is a link to what I posted: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1902421 | 10:24 |
