Searched lubuntu.me for an arm version of lubuntu, couldn't find it. Was hoping someone can point me in the right direction. [17:20] Install arm version of ubuntu desktop [17:20] Then afterwards install lubuntu-desktop === Mir is now known as Guest31926 === Guest31926 is now known as mirhanz === mirhanz is now known as mirhnaz [17:51] [telegram] or... follow the documentation on the Discourse? [17:52] [telegram] Forwarded from kc2bez: Yes, we have instructions here for pi installation: https://discourse.lubuntu.me/t/raspberry-pi-installation/2050 [17:53] oh mirhnaz left nevermind [17:54] still valid instructions ^ [17:59] hello community [17:59] im having some issues to enable my laptop wifi driver, am i in the right place to get help on this matter? [18:02] latincanadian: We can try to help. What version of Lubuntu are you using and what have you tried so far? [18:03] i was using 18.0 then i did a marathon upgrade until 20.10 [18:03] i was hoping to get the drivers but not [18:04] the funny thing is the cd of the 18.0 have the driver , but once i update the computer software the wifi got disabled and no longer functioning [18:05] im using a network cable now to connect to internet :( [18:05] Oh fun. If you have a wired connection this might go easy. [18:05] ok...? [18:06] im reading . [18:06] [telegram] can we start by identifying your network card? lshw -C netsork [18:06] [telegram] oops [18:06] sure [18:06] [telegram] lshw -C network [18:06] [telegram] take that and put it in a pastebin and then share that here. you can use paste.ubuntu.com [18:06] let me go to pastebin [18:06] [telegram] that needs run on the command line by the way [18:08] there you go https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kgK2wTjxZj/ [18:09] [telegram] ok so it's less a driver issue and a "disabled" issue. Run rfkill list and see what it says? [18:09] broadcom INc. :( [18:09] [telegram] "UNCLAIMED" would suggest a driver issue, "DISABLED" suggests the wifi is just off on the system either by a key combo or a soft block. [18:10] rf kill https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3bBSzRRZNW/ [18:10] there [18:10] [telegram] > Hard blocked: yes [18:10] [telegram] do you have a switch on your system or function key combo that turns on / off wifi / wireless on your system? [18:11] [telegram] if so try pressing that key combo [18:11] [telegram] some systems have a physical switch for it [18:11] im using a acer laptop [18:11] the f3 key have the wifi icon [18:11] [telegram] might be FN+F5 on your keyboard [18:12] [telegram] fn+f3 then [18:12] FN and F5 messed up my screen lol [18:12] let me try with f3 [18:12] [telegram] yeah fn+f5 is the 'general' acer button, but i don't know all the systems. :P [18:12] yes it work but still hardware wifi disabled [18:13] [telegram] so you hit it but it's disabled still? [18:13] yes still disabled :( [18:14] the wifi icon say - Hardware disabled- [18:14] [telegram] then lets try and verify the drivers. sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer linux-firmware then reboot the system. [18:15] [telegram] that should attempt to install / reinstall the firmware for the Broadcom cards. [18:15] already done :( [18:15] [telegram] so still not working then. [18:15] before upgrade to 20.10 i did that several times. then upgrade again and repeated the same routine. and still epic failure [18:17] [telegram] check rfkill list again - see if it's still hard blocked or if it's just soft blocked now. [18:17] hold on [18:17] [telegram] yep - sorry to make you verify but sometimes hard block is fixed but soft block is on [18:18] `still hard blocked [18:19] i was wondering if i could try using the old drivers from lubuntu 18.0 [18:20] [telegram] the old drivers from 18.04 would be superseded by the newer kernel in the 20.10 system. [18:21] well i guess we are facing a bug. because in the old version the wifi works but no longer in next versions [18:22] [telegram] here's a question: [18:22] [telegram] when you were on 20.04 during your power upgrade session did it work>? [18:22] [telegram] rather than latest-and-greatest 20.10 [18:22] [telegram] if you know. [18:22] [telegram] did you test 20.04 before going to 20.10? [18:22] [telegram] also sorry ERR:LAG on my network [18:22] no. only worked on 18.0 [18:22] after i did the first software update-security etc the driver stopped working. it just dissapeared. [18:25] for some reason the newer kernels when they overwite the system config, over miss some drivers, like this particular case. [18:30] teward001 got it? [18:43] [telegram] sorry yeah i needed a bathroom break. It might be a kernel incompatibility, we had that chaos recently with kernels and drivers as @kc2bez knows [18:51] And they left... [18:52] [telegram] bah i can't tell not viewing IRC at the moment [18:52] [telegram] :\ [18:52] ... now I am [18:52] bleh
