[03:09] <alejok0> hi
[04:17] <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"
[04:18] <xu-irc23w> should I just ignore the error message and move forward with the installation?
[09:22] <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
[09:24] <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
[09:25] <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).
[09:26] <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
[09:27] <tomreyn> partially, but there's more to it
[09:29] <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: iwl3945	Kernel modules: iwl3945
[09:30] <tomreyn> so what'S the next step according to what i wrote?
[09:31] <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
[09:32] <tomreyn> or driver
[09:32] <tomreyn> those two words basically mean the same thing
[09:33] <tomreyn> which kernel driver is in use to drive your wireless chipset?
[09:33] <tomreyn> (see the output you pasted above)
[09:35] <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
[09:36] <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
[09:37] <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.
[09:38] <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.
[09:39] <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
[09:43] <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.
[09:44] <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
[09:45] <tomreyn> make sure you point out that performance was better on windows.
[09:46] <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?
[09:48] <Xu-Wifi-Help> Uploading the problem information now, guess that is a negative on the screenshots xD
[09:49] <tomreyn> Xu-Wifi-Help: you can both attach image and text files to your bug report after posting it
[09:50] <tomreyn> whereveer textual output is possible, showing the same information as the graphical would, the textual variant is preferred.
[09:52] <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
[09:58] <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).
[10:24] <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
