| mrd2689a | tHi everyone. I just did a clean install of Xubuntu on an Asus X551M laptop, with the hard drive completely formatted. The wireless/bluetooth adaptor is an Atheros AR9485. I cannot get the bluetooth to work. Every time that I click on "Bluetooth manager" or "bluetooth adapters", nothing loads/happens. Can anyone please help me out? | 00:33 |
|---|---|---|
| mrd2689a | I formatted my hard drive and did the clean install of Xubuntu per the recs from another user from this IRC channel, because before I had a (broken) dual-boot setup with Windows 10, and that user thought that might have been related to my troubles with the bluetooth. | 00:40 |
| genii | That chipset does not have Bluetooth | 00:41 |
| raccoon_dog | mrd2689a: Did you give us the correct model of chipset? | 00:42 |
| raccoon_dog | mrd2689a: I'm searching online, and that chipset only has wireless -- it has no Bluetooth radio that I can see. | 00:43 |
| mrd2689a | I suppose that I am not 100% on the chipset. I googled my laptop and I that's the chipset that I got via the Google search, but it might have been incorrect info. Is there an easy way to verify? | 00:43 |
| genii | Usually lspci and lsusb will tell you what the hardware is | 00:46 |
| mrd2689a | Holy crap genii you are right . I just Googled my laptop again and it appears that it does not have bluetooth! How embarrassing! And frustrating..... | 00:47 |
| mrd2689a | I really thought that it did. | 00:47 |
| genii | When combined with the swtiches which report vendor:device codes, ambiguous ones can be further investigated | 00:47 |
| raccoon_dog | mrd2689a: I hope you didn't just reformat to try and fix this issue, only to find out your hardware doesn't have Bluetooth. | 00:47 |
| genii | mrd2689a: Well, this might explain why trying to enable it has been problemmatic.... | 00:48 |
| mrd2689a | I just did lsusb and lspci and I did verify that it's the AR9485 | 00:49 |
| mrd2689a | No other mention of bluetooth, neither | 00:49 |
| raccoon_dog | Yes. That chipset does not have Bluetooth capabilities. | 00:49 |
| mrd2689a | Yes, this seems to explain the problem!! | 00:49 |
| mrd2689a | I *did* do the reformat to fix this issue.... but to be honest, I had a Win10 that I could not boot into, so I suppose that it was worth getting rid of the dual-boot | 00:50 |
| mrd2689a | Thanks for your help! | 00:50 |
| raccoon_dog | I see, so it wasn't totally useless. No problem! | 00:50 |

| tomreyn | does xubuntu use sddm as a login manager? i was thinking it uses lightdm | 18:43 |
| diogenes_ | mrfree, sddm? | 18:43 |
| diogenes_ | right that's odd. | 18:44 |
| mrfree | yeah, it looks like it's using sddm | 18:44 |
| tomreyn | yours is, a fresh installation wouldn't | 18:44 |
| mrfree | should I try to switch to lightdm? | 18:44 |
| mrfree | perhaps I tried it in the past and forgot | 18:45 |
| diogenes_ | i never heard Xubuntu to use sddm. | 18:45 |
| Maik | Xubuntu uses lightdm by default | 18:47 |
| mrfree | Oops sorry guys... I'm connected remotely and I didn't realize that's a lubuntu box :P | 18:48 |
| diogenes_ | lol | 18:49 |
| Maik | good morning to you :D | 18:49 |
| tomreyn | :) | 18:49 |

| Bischoop | I had disable lightdm (systemctl disable lightdm) but now I'm stuck on /dev/sda7 clean, xxxx files xxxx blocks | 19:39 |
| Bischoop | I went to recovery mode and tried systemctl enable lightdm.services but seen a notices, I've done then: systemctl unmask lightdm it was done but then according to Google I should done systemctl demon-reload (thought it's more Debian thing) but it was also on Buntu site. | 19:42 |
| Bischoop | However it showed command not recognised. Any thoughts? | 19:42 |
| Bischoop | Ok needed to get into terminal lol | 19:47 |
