[18:21] <fawwaz> thanks
[18:23] <tomreyn> you're welcome (and still offline).
[18:25] <PeGaSuS> ROTFL
[18:26] <fawwaz> how do i
[18:37] <Maik> fawwaz: if you have a xubuntu support question just ask, casual talk is in #xubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:41] <fawwaz> sorry, i want to know why i keep failing to update the software after installing xubuntu, it keeps telling me that im not connected to the internet
[18:41] <fawwaz> *software updater
[18:44] <Maik> which xubuntu version?
[18:52] <fawwaz> latest
[18:56] <coconut> fawwaz, can you ping the internet on that machine?
[18:57] <fawwaz> yep, pinged google and working
[18:58] <coconut> and does apt work with updating packages?
[19:00] <fawwaz> it comes with several error before, and its working now. Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.13.0-19-generic
[19:01] <fawwaz> thanks, maybe i should pinged all the time to get the internet working
[19:11] <fawwaz> pinged several times after restart updating the system, figured out i've to click the connection to be connected...
[19:13] <coconut> fawwaz, you mean the nm-applet in your panel in top?
[19:14] <coconut> true, that is for almost all desktops afaik
[19:15] <fawwaz> yes, i'm using my android usb tethering right now to connect the internet
[19:15] <fawwaz> trying to figure out how to make my usb wifi dongle work rn
[20:10] <tomreyn> fawwaz: are you looking for support with getting that wifi dongle to work? if so, run this while online and post the resulting link: lspci -knn | grep -EA3 '(Network|Ethernet) controller' | nc termbin.com 9999 
[20:11] <tomreyn> and this:  lsusb | nc termbin.com 9999 
[20:11] <fawwaz> at the terminal?
[20:11] <tomreyn> yes
[20:11] <tomreyn> in a terminal emulator
[20:13] <fawwaz> wow. it works. thank you very much. i've downloaded the driver actually (rtl8188fu ver. not the rtl8188ftv) and wondering how do i run that driver, again, thanks..
[20:14] <tomreyn> i haven't done anything, the commands i provided were just for information gathering
[20:14] <tomreyn> it's possible that the kernel update you installed (and rebooted to?) made it work
[20:14] <fawwaz> need three days to get this dongle useful, been trying another distros but none of it works with this wifi dongle
[20:18] <fawwaz> first boot updating with several errors when apt-get update, software updater, also dongle didn't work. after 2 hours i restarted and installing the driver. it listed but didn't run. now i can sleep in peace
[20:26] <tomreyn> nice, nice
[20:26] <tomreyn> have a good night then
[20:31] <fawwaz> after i'm done with building websites and adding 114 products manually
[20:31] <fawwaz> does having a ethernet and wifi enabled will make my connection speed double too?
[20:32] <coconut> no internet connection is for eather one of the two
