[02:28] no internet connection on install of kubuntu 22 [02:28] Dumpy: Ethernet or WiFi? [02:28] wifi [02:28] sorry, ima newb to linux and friend told me this was good intro from windows [02:29] Dumpy: Can you run "lspci" in a terminal? This should pull up the devices in your system, one of which will likely be your wifi card. Tell me what the line containing your WiFi card says. [02:29] Dumpy: You can also just take a picture of the lspci output, upload it to Imgur, then send the link. [02:30] Dumpy: You can open a terminal by running the Konsole application. [02:30] Dumpy: Then type "lspci", press Enter, snap a pic of the text that it spits out, upload to Imgur, then send the link. [02:41] 01:00.0 Network Controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03) [02:56] Dumpy: Broadcom. Fantastic. Install Kubuntu, but check the "install proprietary drivers" box during installation. You should notice your Wi-Fi start working after the screen progresses to the next step. [02:57] Dumpy: If you want to just play around with the live environment but still have Internet, start the installer, proceed through it until you get to the bit where you can enable the drivers, then once your WiFi kicks in, close the installer. [02:58] Dumpy: And if you've already installed Kubuntu, connect to the Internet with your phone or something, open Konsole, and run "sudo apt update && sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source", type your password, and you should be good to go. [02:58] (You will have to press Y at one point to confirm that you really do want to install the drivers.) [03:06] Thanks I will try it. [03:09] I was just in the Try It part so now real install [03:12] Any starter tips or tricks for a guy who just wanted to shoot his laptop after Windows 11 install? [03:14] Dumpy: The Help Manual built into Kubuntu should give you a good start. Also, make it a point to always apply all the system updates as soon as Discover lets you know they're ready to be applied, and when Firefox asks you to close it so it can update, open Konsole and run "sudo snap refresh firefox" to force it to update immediately so you don't have it nagging you over and over. [03:15] Also, if and when things go wrong, check Ask Ubuntu for fixes, and don't ever hesitate to pop open your IRC chat and ask for help on #kubuntu and #ubuntu . [03:16] Thanks, hopefully this is a step in the right direction [03:17] I'm SO MUCH HAPPIER after switching from Windows to Linux. And I even was mainly using Windows 7 when I made the switch, and still loved Linux. [03:18] Oh, one last tip. Try to get at least a little bit familiar with the terminal (Konsole). It may be tricky at first, but it will unlock a whole world of Linux awesomeness (tools, cool configuration tweaks, the ability to fix just about anything, etc.). [03:18] I liked 7 and 10 but 8 was crap and 11 is shaping up to be worse than 8 [03:18] Me liked 7, sorta worked with 8, hated 10, and have yet to try 11. [03:19] I YouTube a lot. Is there a good YT guide on Konsole or Linux command line? [03:22] Actually, YouTube guides are all too often dangerous. The best way to learn the command line is by experience. If you need to learn how to use a command, run "man ", and if you want to find a command, do "apropos ". [03:23] Oh, another really good tip. Install Gnome Boxes on your system, and create a Kubuntu virtual machine. Then try out commands in there. If anything goes wrong, you may nuke the VM, but your main system will be untouched. [03:26] How resource heavy is Gnome Boxes? I have an old 4th Gen 2 core i5 with 8G ram and only 128G storage [03:27] That will do just fine. The VM will only need 4 GB RAM while in use, and it only needs 15 GB disk space per VM. [03:28] Cool. Thanks so much. I will take all your advice and run with it. Definitely safer to sandbox and scrap it if understand what you're saying there. [03:28] Have a goodnight [03:29] Glad to help! [03:29] Dumpy: That's it exactly. [03:31] Dumpy: You can also use Lubuntu in the VM rather than Kubuntu - it's lighter on resources, can live with just 2 GB RAM, and will perform better. [08:17] kdepanel keeps crashing [08:17] everything is up to date on 22.04 [08:17] plasmashell freezes up and I can't do anything [08:18] I have to kill it, restart it, and it freezes again after a min === Guest4031 is now known as Duality === william is now known as Conna [11:42] Hi all === pablo is now known as pablo__ === pablo__ is now known as pablo === pablo is now known as pablo__ === faLUKE is now known as paooo [18:40] @find toriel [19:47] Hmm...
