IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Hey Hello there06:58
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> I am having some issues with my Kubuntu Desktop06:58
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> My desktop has loaded but I am not able to connect to a network06:58
alkisgAre you using a wired connection or a wireless one? Was it working before? What happened that broke it?06:59
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> I am using a Wireless Connection. Realtek Wireless Lan Driver. Previous it was working completely fine but after an update of "linux-header", it broke.07:00
alkisgInsert the adapter, type `lsusb`, check the device id, and paste it here07:01
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Ok07:02
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Just a minute07:02
diogenes_maybe he cat load the previous kernel.07:02
diogenes_can*07:02
alkisgSure; he probably needs to recompile the module for the latest kernel07:03
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> When I am writing lsusb it is not showing anything07:03
alkisgWhat adapter model is it?07:03
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Realtek rtl8188ftv wireless lan 802.11 n07:05
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> I was using this driver07:07
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu07:07
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> /about@join_captcha_bot07:08
alkisgWhat is the output of this command? dkms status07:08
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> rtl8188fu, 4.3.23.6~ppa, 5.11.0-25-generic, x86_64: installed07:12
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> rtl8188fu, 4.3.23.6~ppa, 5.8.0-53-generic, x86_64: installed07:12
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> rtl8188fu, 4.3.23.6~ppa, 5.8.0-59-generic, x86_64: installed07:12
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> rtl8188fu, 4.3.23.6~ppa, 5.8.0-63-generic, x86_64: installed07:12
lordievader Cyber, did you compile your own driver?07:12

IrcsomeBot<Cyber> No, I didn't compile it, I just installed the ppa07:12
lordievaderDid you rerun those steps after the kernel upgrade?07:13
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Ahh... No...07:13
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> I mean, sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade will do it right?07:14
lordievaderDon't think so. Apt doesn't know about external things you might have installed.07:14
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> No no I had added the ppa07:15
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> And when I ran sudo apt update07:15
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> It shows the package by the developer kelebek33307:15
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> *showed07:15
lordievaderAh, right. What does `lsmod |grep rtl` show?07:15
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> It shows07:17
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> rtl8188fu    1265664   007:17
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> cfg80211    888832     1  rtl8188fu07:17
lordievaderCould you pastebin console output, makes it more readable 😉 What is the output of `sudo iw dev`?07:19
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> I want to do it but I can't do it because there is no way to copy the terminal of my computer to my phone as both usb internet and file transfer is not working.07:21
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> And it doesn't work. It just shows nothing07:21
lordievaderNo ethernet backup connection available? bummer. Interesting that the module is loaded but not device shows up. Does `sudo dmesg|grep rtl8188` return anything?07:23
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> No, it shows nothing07:24
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> And actually for backup internet, I can use the internet from my phone on my pc but currently that is also not working07:25
lordievaderDoes `sudo modprobe -vr rtl8188fu && sudo modprobe -v rtl8188fu` show anything?07:26
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> No 🥲07:30
alkisgCyber, you can select the previous 5.8 kernel in grub; wifi should still work there07:31
alkisgI believe your driver doesn't yet work with 5.1107:31
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> When was 5.11 released?07:32
alkisgYou'd need to find another package that works, or wait until the ppa is updated with a newer driver version07:32
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> If I could connect to the internet at the first place07:32
alkisgRecently, I'm on 5.4 so I don't know exactly when07:32
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Hey listen07:32
lordievaderCyber: Also nothing in `sudo iw dev` after reloading the module?07:32
alkisgBut people with 5.8 went to 5.11 recently07:33
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Hmm07:33
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Just one update07:33
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> *upgrade07:33
alkisgReboot, select "advanced ubuntu options" in grub, then select 5.807:33
alkisgThen you'll have wifi to be able to paste things and have iw working07:33
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> It showed something like "linux-headers" I did it and boom computer doesn't work now...07:33
alkisgThat's why old kernels are kept; to be able to work around through such regresions07:33
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Hmm07:34
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Will it delete my files?07:34
alkisgNo, it doesn't install or uninstall anything07:34
alkisgIt's just a reboot, select grub menu, press enter07:34
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Oh ok good07:34
alkisgYou don't need to type any commands07:34
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> But how do I enter grub?07:34
alkisgDon't you see the grub menu when your pc boots? If not, hold down left shift while it boots07:35
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Ok07:35
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Trying doing it...07:35
alkisgThere are screenshots in the 3rd answer there: https://askubuntu.com/questions/82140/how-can-i-boot-with-an-older-kernel-version07:35
alkisgDon't follow the 1st answer; see the screenshots in the 3rd answer07:36
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Hey listen07:36
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Grub loaded07:36
lordievaderWhat I find odd is that `lsmod` shows the module being loaded, while `dmesg` doesn't say anything about it.07:37
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Hey listen07:38
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> I am at advanced ubuntu options07:38
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> I see many kernel07:38
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> I guess I should select 5.8.0-63 right?07:39
alkisgSelect the most recent 5.8 one07:39
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Ok07:39
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> 63 is the most latest07:39
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Ok so what is it's number?07:39
alkisgI don't know, I have 5.4. Go ahead and boot it07:40
alkisgBooting older kernels is not a risk07:40
alkisgDon't be afraid to press enter there...07:40
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Ok07:40
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> I pressed it07:40
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Things are happening07:41
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Wait is it real...07:42
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> GUYS IT IS WORKING!!! 😍😍😍07:42
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Oh wow07:43
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> I didn't expected this would work in the first try07:43
Mekaneckalkisg: i do not agree, booting older kernels can be a risk because they could contain security vulnerabilities07:44
alkisgMekaneck: he was working on that kernel until yesterday or whenever 5.11 came. This is a new user we're talking about, don't scare him with such details...07:45
lordievaderMekaneck: Same argument applies to booting newer kernels...07:45
alkisgMekaneck: it's not an arbitrary old kernel. It's the previous ubuntu kernel, which is maintained and supported by the ubuntu security team07:45
Mekanecksure, right07:46
alkisgCyber, now you need to continue troubleshooting etc and make the driver work with 5.11. Unfortunately I don't have time to help there, maybe Olivier or someone else can.07:46
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Ok07:46
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> I am making it concrete07:46
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> So that everytime 5.8 boots up ok?07:47
lordievaderI'd compile the driver manually against 5.11 and see if you run into errors.07:47
lordievaderWhat is most surprising to me is that the module is completely silent when loading and unloading.07:47
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> 🤔 I don't understand but I think you have knowledge so go ahead07:48
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> And thanks very much to all of you07:48
* alkisg has bumped into the same issue with his rpi; the previous 5.10.17 kernel was working, while the new 5.10.52 broke things, and now I'm reverting to the old one...07:48
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Btw how can we save grub files?07:51
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Nano edit files07:51
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> I have edited my grub default to always load 5.8 kernel07:51
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Now how can I save it?07:51
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Ctrl + S isn't working07:51
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Oh I did it07:54
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Never mind07:54
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Hey, when I reboot it is showing something memtest8607:56
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> It is normal right?07:56
lordievaderAs a grub option or is it booting into memtest?07:59
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> No it is booting08:00
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> From memtest8608:00
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Blue Screen08:00
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Bad Design...08:00
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Things happening that I can't understand08:00
lordievaderIt is testing your memory, as the name suggests. Probably not what you intended. You'd need to reboot and select a Ubuntu/Kubuntu entry.08:01
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Oh okok08:01
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> It is saying press F1 to fail safe mode08:02
lordievaderErm? In response to what?08:03
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> That memtest08:03
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Listen I turned off my computer, turned on again, pressed shift, selected ubuntu08:04
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Yes08:10
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> It worked completely fine08:10
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Thanks all08:10
IrcsomeBot<Cyber> Have a wonderful day08:10
IrcsomeBot<silverblade21> Is Kubuntu good for battery life?10:04
lordievaderCompared to?10:38
lordievaderIf you are willing to really dive into these matters you can get your consumption down to relatively low values.10:39
Guest52Hi,I have a question about zoom. When I was on windows there was an option where you pressed space and the mic turned on,but in kubuntu it does not seem to work.Any way to do that in kubuntu12:28
