| SomeDude56 | Hi, I am having an issue with my Lubuntu wifi, I was wondering if someone might be able to help me | 04:02 |
|---|---|---|
| SomeDude56 | Lubuntu cant seem to find the wifi adapter on the computer I installed it on | 04:02 |
| guiverc | SomeDude56, what release of Lubuntu, have you tried using the Ubuntu wifi troubleshooting (the base of Lubuntu is of course Ubuntu so it applies; the device recognition section the most useful as it lets to work out what chipset your wifi needs & thus you can search for details..) | 04:18 |
| SomeDude56 | 16:04 i believe | 04:21 |
| SomeDude56 | i am having issues getting it to recognize the wifi card / adapter in the computer | 04:21 |
| guiverc | The oldest supported release of Lubuntu is Lubuntu 20.04 LTS. All supported releases of Lubuntu use LXQt, you're no doubt not; 16.04 reached EOSS back in April 2021 so your machine should be kept offline, no-wifi is actually a good thing I suspect | 04:26 |
| guiverc | You can pay for 16.04 ESM support; but it's not worth it with Lubuntu in my opinion, I'd suggest using a supported release. | 04:26 |
| guiverc | fyi. 16.04 tells you it was the 2016-April release (year.month format; add 2000 to year) which had 5 years standard support for Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Cloud etc & 3 years for flavors like Lubuntu. | 04:28 |
| FatPhil | having a spot of bother with a live usb - looks like I got some fs corruption, and I can't do a normal boot. I've got into recovery mode, and it told be there were errors, unsure how to proceed... | 09:22 |
| FatPhil | it did let me resume a normal boot from there, but the gui's different from how it last looked, it doesn't fit neatly in my QEMU window any more | 09:26 |
| FatPhil | I'll just do a restart without going through recovery mode | 09:26 |
| FatPhil | Oh, it's a "persistent live" image, for reference | 09:28 |
| FatPhil | ah, yes, normal boot restored the desktop to the high-viz mode I'm used to. | 09:29 |
| FatPhil | can I check all packages are correctly installed and not corrupted? | 09:30 |
| FatPhil | debsums isn't installed, and muon package manager won't run: "The package system could not be initialised, your configuration may be broken" | 09:37 |
| FatPhil | apt install debsums also fails "Reading package list... Error!" plus some other error lines | 09:39 |
| FatPhil | even apt list fails | 09:43 |
| FatPhil | ugh, now firefox fails too, which is the only reason I run the image | 09:58 |
| FatPhil | booting straight from the usb stick rather than in a QEMU is also failing with a kernel panic. | 09:59 |
| FatPhil | trying recovery mode again | 10:00 |
| FatPhil | ......./casper/filesystem.squashfs: mismatch | 10:03 |
| FatPhil | CHeck finished: errors found in 1 files! You might encounter errors. | 10:04 |
| FatPhil | fsck option says "/lib/recovery-mode/recovery-menu: line 80: /etc/default/rcS: No such file or directory" and then does nothing | 10:05 |
| FatPhil | root shell lets me see that indeed, that file doesn't exist | 10:06 |
| FatPhil | I can't bring up networking, but can't see how it's failing | 10:23 |
| FatPhil | nothing in /var/log | 10:24 |
| arraybolt3 | FatPhil: OK so what happened? This is a normal live USB? | 17:56 |
| arraybolt3 | Or one with persistence? | 17:56 |
| arraybolt3 | If this is a USB, I'd back up my data, reflash the USB, and restore data. | 17:56 |
| dragon_ | has anyone installed Ubuntu lately? | 18:14 |
| dragon_ | I am wondering if I should go for lubuntu or Ubuntu this time | 18:14 |
| dragon_ | I have grown to like the lubuntu desktop interface, easy and simple | 18:14 |
| dragon_ | It is a while since I had Ubuntu | 18:14 |
