[02:36] <lifewithryan> oops
[03:22] <guy1823129> WHATS UP GUYS
[03:22] <lifewithryan> wow, irc been years
[03:23] <guy1823129> what do you think about the grimace shake
[03:23] <lifewithryan> grimace? isn't that the purple mcdonalds thing
[03:23] <guy1823129> si
[03:24] <lifewithryan> is the grimace shake a dance or a beverage?
[03:24] <guy1823129> a beverage
[03:24] <lifewithryan> never had it
[03:24] <guy1823129> what is your opinion on hitler
[03:24] <guy1823129> my friend wants to know
[03:25] <lifewithryan> wow asking the hard hitting questions...hitler was an a$$
[03:25] <NewtonTrendy> my opinion on hitler is that if we invent a way of bringing people back to life, chances are, in infinite time, we'll have to learn to live with him
[03:26] <Unit193> This is a support channel for Ubuntu linux, please keep it on target.
[03:26] <NewtonTrendy> opps
[03:26] <guy1823129> well, (this is his friend typing) FYI, he's the best guy ever, he donated too charity, and also hates the gays
[03:26] <NewtonTrendy> oops
[03:27] <lifewithryan> thank Unit193
[04:39] <lilalvaro> hi
[04:39] <lilalvaro> it's me again :D
[07:39] <PeGaSuS> can someone please point me out what I have wrong, because I'm failing to do so? https://0bin.xyz/?c97fd5dba33145eb#EVR88X5frRAtpdg7fJ8asVxNbUvHEpHUaA2oRYUinMvE
[07:52] <raub1> Showing how much I do not understand snap, I am not running chromium and yet I see this when I do "df -h"
[07:52] <raub1> "/dev/loop0 151M  151M     0 100% /snap/chromium/2497
[07:53] <ravage> snap list|grep chromium
[07:53] <ogra> raub1, thats just a mountpoint ...
[07:54] <ogra> (if you have chromium installed the snap gets mounted, no matter if you run it or not)
[07:59] <raub1> ogra, ravage: thanks! Where disk space is being used for this block device comes from?
[08:00] <raub1> s/Where disk space/Where the disk space
[08:00] <ogra> raub1, /var/lib/snapd/snaps holds the actual files that get loop mounted
[08:00] <raub1> That explains what I saw in "losetup -a"
[08:00] <ogra> imagine a highly compressed iso ... the space you see used under /snap is not actually used ...
[08:01] <ogra> ... it represents the compressed content only
[08:01] <raub1> So /var is being used for that then: 2.8G    /var/lib/snapd/snaps
[08:08] <ravage> if war is a mount point on your system then yes
[08:08] <ravage> *var
[08:08] <ravage> war: please turn off your away message status messages
[08:24] <raub1> ravage: thanks. That explained why I was running out of space in /var. I increased its size and all is well
[09:11] <OutOfService> hi
[09:12] <OutOfService> Is there a way to prevent loading one module on ubuntu installation? I can pass some commands to kernel via pxe, but I don't know if it's possible. I'd like to prevent oading a raid controller, megaraid_sas module
[09:31] <ogra> OutOfService, yes, there is a kernel cmdline option to blacklist modules (you need to google the exact syntax, but "blacklist" is in the name of that option), tat should be respected by ubuntu kernels
[09:33] <alkisg> OutOfService: try 2nd and 3rd answers there: https://askubuntu.com/questions/110341/how-to-blacklist-kernel-modules
[09:33] <alkisg> But it must NOT be built-in; built-in modules are much harder to blacklist
[09:35] <ogra> yeah, but i doubt it will be built in ... AFAIK all recent ubuntu kernels turn pretty much everytihing into modules that is possibl to be a module
[09:36] <ogra> (which causes these horridy large initrds)
[10:12] <h3ck4> hi
[10:32] <Guest71> everyone/someone recommend most newbie-friendly way of getting ubuntu server vps going with a gui?
[10:33] <Guest71> 20.04 by the way
[10:38] <weedmic> I generally use vmware esxi and virtualbox.  but I found this link that shows what it is and how to setup vps on ubuntu.  I cannot vouch for any of it though "https://www.virtuozzo.com/application-platform-docs/vps-ubuntu/". Guest71
[10:39] <weedmic> what does "[Notice] -war- away: off" mean/indicate?
[10:53] <webchat87> I'm trying to check CVEs and getting a 500 from the Ubuntu website -- where's the best place to report this?
[11:11] <weedmic> webchat87: are you using this "https://cve.mitre.org/cve/search_cve_list.html"?
[11:11] <weedmic> I generally use virustotal.com, but I Im not checking cves
[11:45] <OutOfService> thnks ogra. I'll give it  try
[11:46] <TomyWork> installing a new laptop with kubuntu 22.04. I see the default for the file system is still ext4. I want to give btrfs a try since I have good experience with it in some ubuntu 22.04 servers. first of all, is that advisable for a desktop? and are there any pitfalls if I do that?
[11:48] <Jakov> can some one help me pls install Windows App https://quicktextpaste.en.uptodown.com/windows/download on Ubuntu, using wine?
[11:49] <TomyWork> can't you just use ctrl+v?
[11:49] <Jakov> oh, please
[11:50] <TomyWork> don't blame me, blame the description on the page you linked
[11:51] <TomyWork> there's likely already a feature in ubuntu itself or one of the packages in the repository that does whatever this tool does
[11:53] <TomyWork> there, found one, AutoKey
[11:54] <TomyWork> though the article I found this in is from 2016, so ymmv
[11:57] <TomyWork> there's also Glipper, which has a "snippet plugin", which sounds like what you want
[11:59] <TomyWork> the article about *that* is from 2015, so again ymmv :)
[11:59] <Jakov> AutoKey = AHK = AutoHotKey?
[12:00] <TomyWork> no, AutoHotKey is a windows tool
[12:02] <TomyWork> sudo apt install autokey-gtk
[12:02] <TomyWork> or I guess -qt if you're on KDE
[12:02] <ravage> Jakov: https://alternativeto.net/software/quicktextpaste/?license=opensource&platform=linux
[12:03] <TomyWork> native tools usually integrate much better into the linux desktop than a windows tool via wine would
[12:04] <Jakov> ravage, i've everything from this website, there is no substitute even close listed there
[12:05] <Jakov> i opened with wine, but no copy/paste available
[12:05] <Jakov> and other featuers
[12:05] <TomyWork> a minute ago you were wondering what AutoKey is, despite it being listed on that website
[12:06] <weedmic> Jakov: I have not used wine in many years because I started to use virtualbox which comes with shared directories, cut and paste, etc.
[12:06] <TomyWork> Jakov, yeah that's what I figured. good luck getting more than the basics working and working well
[12:07] <Jakov> there were 3 diiferent names, which are same program which is total shit
[12:07] <Jakov> share pls AutoKey link
[12:07] <weedmic> perhaps you should consider that, a virtual machine in it's original os, running things nicely, with those options.  you can even use vmware player for free, both are pretty powerful/useful.
[12:07] <TomyWork> Actiona is the same program as AutoKey?
[12:08] <TomyWork> weedmic, does vmware player still require manual steps to update the kernel modules after each kernel update or have they fixed that now?
[12:08] <TomyWork> weedmic, if not, I'd recommend virtualbox over vmware player
[12:09] <ravage> or virt-manager
[12:09] <ravage> that does not require any special modules :)
[12:09] <ogra> or just qemu from cmdline 😉
[12:09] <TomyWork> neither of these integrate well
[12:09] <weedmic> TomyWork: yes, that is correct, but it is just a script you run, did it yesterday in fact.
[12:09] <TomyWork> or are very beginner-friendly
[12:10] <weedmic> i also found it is b/c vmware doesn't contain anything for emulating monitors - pretty darn dumb imho.
[12:10] <ogra> if you want beginnerfriendy in a default ubuntu desktop, take gnome-boxes
[12:10] <TomyWork> weedmic, yeah every time I update the kernel. that's just hilarious that they haven't fixed it in 10 years
[12:11] <weedmic> i got that, i only learned about git server (and thereby git commands) last week, and those modules are on git (only) - so it is a pain (the first time).  nothing wrong with virtualbox.
[12:11] <TomyWork> virtualbox supports multi-monitor setups
[12:12] <ravage> if you want to discuss more software alternatives or features please continue in #ubuntu-discuss
[12:12] <ogra> yeah, we'Re getting pretty offtopic for here ...
[12:12] <weedmic> reminds me of runescape, each time I change either nvidia, x11, or 1 other things I can't remember right now, i have to delete flatpak, reboot, reinstall flatpak, and see if it works (or revert).  it's a pain.  I have 8 such updates waiting at home, not looking forward to it at all.
[12:13] <weedmic> what does this libera chat message mean "[Notice] -war- away: off"
[12:13] <weedmic> is it an off topic warning?
[12:13] <TomyWork> weedmic, it means someone misconfigured their IRC client to send chat messages when they return from the toilet or something
[12:13] <ogra> weedmic, its an auto-away message from the IRC client of the user "war"
[12:13] <ravage> it means that someone should kick that user after multiple warnings to turn the auto away message off
[12:13] <weedmic> oic, nothing to do with me, just keeping me informed.
[12:14] <ogra> war, please turn off auto-away here, it is against the channel rules for ubuntu channels and i dont want to ban you for something that trivial
[12:14] <ravage> -> /ignore war
[12:14] <ravage> takes care of it
[12:14] <TomyWork> their name is -war- though
[12:15] <weedmic> tks
[12:15] <TomyWork> I have a support question btw: is running kubuntu 22.04 on a btrfs partition a supported configuration?
[12:16] <ogra> why wouldnt it
[12:16] <TomyWork> cause the installer doesnt offer it
[12:16] <TomyWork> except via "manual"
[12:16] <ogra> in manual partitioning it doesnt ?
[12:16] <ogra> right
[12:16] <ogra> so it is a supported config 🙂
[12:16] <TomyWork> and I'm getting a bunch of errors cause I have no f'in clue what I'm doing
[12:17] <ogra> then yu should probably not do it
[12:17] <ogra> (or learn abou it first)
[12:18] <ravage> one could argue that any manual config is not very "beginnerfriendy" :)
[12:18] <ogra> yeah, definitely
[12:18] <ogra> but "hard" doesnt mean unsupported ....
[12:20] <TomyWork> I mean i have used btrfs, but not on a desktop together with encryption
[12:21]  * ogra happily uses ext4 with no issues ...
[12:21] <ogra> never felt the need for something else
[12:21] <TomyWork> btrfs can snapshot subvolumes
[12:22] <ogra> sure ... and i'd need that because ?
[12:23] <ravage> i liked the idea of snapshots too. used ZFS for it. but regular backups are needed anyway
[12:23] <ravage> so i never used any of the snapshots
[12:23] <ogra> yeah
[12:24] <ogra> i really prefer the KISS approach ... especially for something like filesystems or other core system components ...
[12:25] <ogra> stability > features
[12:25] <TomyWork> oh and block-level checksumming
[12:26] <ravage> if you need those features use ZFS
[12:27] <ravage> it works out of the box with Ubuntu. Even with encryption on 22.04
[12:27] <ogra> well, tricky with the current desktop installer i think 🙂
[12:27] <ravage> but im not sure about the future of ZFS on the desktop
[12:27] <ravage> it does not get much love at all
[12:28] <ogra> there were no resources to car for it
[12:28] <ogra> 24.04 will see a lot o love for zfs again
[12:28] <ravage> that would be great :)
[12:28]  * ogra notes it s time for a new laptop with an actually working keyboard
[12:29] <Znevna> was it cheaper without the keyboard?
[12:29] <Znevna> :P
[12:29] <ogra> lol
[12:29] <ogra> nah, it is simply worn out ...
[12:29] <ogra> 5y old xps13 ... the age shows ...
[12:30] <bot910> hi
[12:30] <ogra> (the 5 key needs like 3 presses before it even prints the 5)
[12:34] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:49] <weedmic> TomyWork: btrfs is new (although it isn't anymore) and some don't trust it b/c some have had problems with snapshots.  hence it is not the default.  you can choose it in manual.
[12:51] <TomyWork> suse has been using it for years, so i guess it cant be that bad
[12:52] <weedmic> I see people in that room have snapshot problems too.  but as a general fs, I see nothing wrong with it.
[12:52] <weedmic> that said, I generally use ext4.
[12:53] <hsiktas[m]> is there a Gnome extension that brings this Windows feature back where I can double-click on a window's edge and said window will expand only in that dimension to the screen border?
[13:34] <terri82> Is this possible to use banking apps on Ubuntu Touch etc?
[13:34] <TomyWork> banking on a phone?
[13:35] <terri82> https://www.commerzbank.de/konten-zahlungsverkehr/service/banking-app/
[13:35] <terri82> like this one
[13:36] <terri82> I know such an apps don't work on rooted android phones
[13:36] <TomyWork> I mean I would advise against using your phone for more than the 2nd factor for your banking, but I also dont think ubuntu touch will be terribly popular with the rootkit that comes with most banking apps these days
[13:36] <TomyWork> also, commerzbank, didn't they like crash the german banking system at some point?
[13:38] <TomyWork> sorry, that's offtopic here, disregard the question :)
[14:01] <OutOfService> ogra, the command line in kernel worked for me to blacklist the raid kernel module. Thanks for the advice!
[14:02] <TomyWork> hnnnng, why does the kubuntu installer swapon the target's swap device? that makes no sense to me and it just cost me half an hour to debug...
[14:10] <ogra> OutOfService, awesome !
[14:10] <OutOfService> modprobe.blacklist=megaraid_sas is the line
[14:11] <ogra> yeah, i knew it was someting with "backlist" ... i just couldnt remember the full name of the option
[14:23] <aiena_> I am trying to troubleshoot an issue. Sometimes pulseaudio shows the outputs but there is no sound of late I only get a dummy output. On further diggigng running speaker-test I get some errors so it looks like alsa is broken orsomethig
[14:25] <aiena_> how OD I troubleshoot I looked at lspci the  snd_hda_intel module is loaded and the card appears in that output
[14:26] <aiena_> Earlier before a reboot if I plugged in or unplugged a device from the back ports the line out option would show/disappear but there was no sounding in spute of raising/l;owering the volume my speakers are ok.
[14:28] <BluesKaj> pavucontrol ?
[14:29] <aiena_> pavucintrol ony shows "DUmmy output'
[14:29] <JanC> did you try looking in the logs for ALSA and or PulseAudio errors?
[14:30] <JanC> maybe something else fights with PulseAudio for the audio devices?
[14:30] <aiena_> I did try the pulseaudio--kill and then pulseaudio =vvv
[14:30] <aiena_> there I saw that pulseaudio I got ...module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-card" (argument: "device_id="0" name="pci-0000_00_1f.3" ...
[14:31] <aiena_> looks a bit like https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/issues/89 but
[14:31] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Issue 89 in alsa-project/alsa-lib "ALSA error on finding 'working profile' for a USB MIDI device." [Closed]
[14:31] <aiena_> I am on 5.19
[14:32] <aiena_> then I ran speaker-test and get https://bpa.st/FNEIK
[14:32] <JanC> do you have jack installed?
[14:32] <aiena_> no jack installed
[14:32] <aiena_> no pipewire either it looks like
[14:34] <aiena_> JanC, only thing different i can think of is before i used to have an nvidia PCIE card which used to override the intel one. I removed it because it would periodically fall off the bus freezing the system
[14:35] <aiena_> the nvidia card doesnt show but and the module doesnt appear to be loaded
[14:35] <aiena_> not showing is expected as I removed it.
[14:39] <aiena_> I'll try troubleshooting some more myself and hop back in here later.
[14:40] <shailangsa> does anybody know whether it's by design that extracting RAR files copied over from a windows machine does not work on ubuntu and we need to use unrar instead?
[14:41] <lgrn> what do you mean "doesn't work"? if you can do it with unrar, it works?
[14:42] <lgrn> I would guess that it's by design that it's not included by default, because unrar is not free software (I think)
[14:43] <shailangsa> after copying the file over from the windows host machine onto the ubuntu guest machine i used "extract here" and it just hangs https://prnt.sc/x_izTq32U431 and then takes up 467GB+ worth of disk space https://prnt.sc/lntyaWQfuL4A
[14:43] <jean-loups> hello i search an friend to learn C by extrem programming by etherpad and audio conf
[14:45] <lgrn> shailangsa: are you saying that this only happens in the GUI, but running 'unrar' in the terminal works fine?
[14:46] <shailangsa> thats exactly what's happening
[14:46] <lgrn> shailangsa: if I were you I'd check htop and see what binary is running when the GUI is attempting to unpack the file. could maybe be worth filing a bug report for, but if unrar isn't free software to begin with the chances of it being fixed are possibly slim
[14:48] <shailangsa> the gui's "extract here" does not use unrar, its the native extractor to ubuntu, its only after downloading unrar from the package repository i got it working
[14:51] <lgrn> is there any reason you're using rar specifically?
[14:53] <lgrn> my first thought for something cross-compatible between windows and linux would be zip, since rar haven't had native windows support until very recently, and it's not widely used on linux
[14:54] <shailangsa> its weird because its working fine now, i am lost as to why it happened
[14:55] <lgrn> do you have a reason for including the .git folder to begin with? if you're just going to try installing https://github.com/EFForg/cover-your-tracks it won't be needing the .git folder I'm pretty sure
[14:55] <ogra> well, the GUI bit will use unrar when it is installed, did you have unrar installed before trying it first via the GUI ?
[14:56] <shailangsa> oh i didnt know the gui uses unrar if its installed
[14:56] <shailangsa> no i didnt when trying it at first via the gui
[14:56] <ogra> yeah, that might have been the issue
[14:57] <shailangsa> but what i dont understand is that it extracted other RAR files which i downloaded to ubuntu via firefox, it just started bugging out after i copied over this rar from the windows host machine, do you know whether there's a reason for that?
[14:57] <ogra> though you should probably open a bug about the GUI not asking you to install unrar when it was missing and instead going mad trying to extract it somehow
[14:58] <ogra> ah, the windows rar file might have some special flags used that only the nonfree unrar understands ... not sure
[14:58] <shailangsa> actually i take that back, i think it worked fine on zip files on rar files before
[14:59] <shailangsa> not rar*
[14:59] <ogra> ah
[14:59] <ogra> yeah, that would make sense
[14:59] <shailangsa> so ubuntu can't extract rar files natively?
[15:00] <ogra> rar is a really antique format nobody really uses anymore ... especially on linux because it is proprietary ...
[15:01] <ogra> (if i personally think of rar i think of win95 shareware or pirated stuff 🙂 )
[15:01] <ogra> war, last warning before i permanently ban you from this channel ... please turn ff your auto-away messages, they are against policy in ubuntu channels ... next time i see one, i will kick and ban you from the channel
[15:10] <shailangsa> as an off topic, i cant see any messages from war in this channel, or am i missing something?
[15:11] <shailangsa> oh i just saw it
[16:50] <someone235> $ /usr/sbin/sshd -f /etc/ssh/sshd_config_external
[16:50] <someone235> sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
[16:50] <someone235> Someone knows what's the issue here?
[17:05] <rfm> someone235, where-ever that custom config file says the hostkeys are, the hostkeys aren't.
[17:07] <rfm> someone235, you're not trying to run sshd as a normal user (not root) are you?  That's unlikely to work...
[17:07] <someone235> rfm: yes I did. The problem was fixed by running as a root
[17:07] <someone235> thx
[18:01] <eFfeM> Hi, anyone an idea what I can do to detect a hdmi monitor connected to my laptop (ubuntu 22.04)
[18:02] <eFfeM> displays only shows one monitor (the laptop screen), when booting into windows the monitor is detected
[18:04] <highs78> try xrandr
[18:05] <highs78> with --help flag also if it's undetected in the GUI.
[18:05] <oerheks> look for the FN + screen key on your laptop?
[18:06] <highs78> usualy that's to on/off the LCD.
[18:07] <eFfeM> oerheks, that key has no effect
[18:07] <highs78> but it should shows up into the config panel, did you try booting on Ubuntu with the external screen plugged ing?
[18:07] <highs78> and did you look into the bios if there is something about external screen.
[18:07] <eFfeM> highs78,  xrandr only lists one screen
[18:08] <eFfeM> highs78, it should not be a bios thing as the extenral screen is detected under windows
[18:08] <eFfeM> also I had it working for a moment but after a reboot the external screen is gone again.
[18:09] <highs78> Okay, then maybe the external HDMI output is not supported for your graphic card, you should look with lsmod, what model you have, check the bios if there is an option about external screen also, then check online ubuntu forum with the card model and/or past it in here.
[18:09] <eFfeM> this is a laptop with intel 915 and an nvidia 3050 card
[18:09] <highs78> did you installed the nvidia drivers?
[18:09] <eFfeM> video is now connected to i915
[18:10] <eFfeM> using prime-switch and prime-select
[18:10] <eFfeM> highs78, hmm, I did get an update to the nvidia drivers
[18:11] <highs78> there is an nvidia-config tool or something, look into that one, check the drivers are properly working.
[18:11] <highs78> maybe the cable is faulty also if you got it detected for a moment.
[18:12] <highs78> try a second cable.
[18:12] <eFfeM> highs78, update, apparently the i915 does not support the extenral display, I did a prime-select nvidia and a prime-switch nvidia and the external screen is found
[18:12] <eFfeM> (normally when running on battery I prefer intel as it runs twice as long on intel than on nvidia)
[18:13] <eFfeM> let me try a quick reboot, brb
[18:14] <eFfeM> highs78, back, with prime-select nvidia it works also after a reboot; i'd hoped it would also be detected with i915 (onboard of the 12700h)

[23:14] <MadLamb> I have been trying to understand why my bluetooth headset is not working and was guessing it could be a pipewire/wireplumber issue. In the pipewire channel I was told it was most likely a bluetooth adapter driver problem. I have a 0cf3:e300 Qualcomm Atheros Communications QCA61x4 Bluetooth 4.0 installed. I was wondering if I could replace that with a more modern card. If that is possible, can someone help me to understand what to
[23:14] <MadLamb> look for?
[23:16] <jeremy31> MadLamb: It doesn't connect to Bluetooth?
[23:17] <MadLamb> jeremy31: it does connect, but its very unreliable. There have been times it worked beautifully but now I am on 23.04 and I was already having issues in 22.04.2
[23:18] <MadLamb> jeremy31: I used to be able to walk around the house with the headset and would not have any issue to hear, but now it starts to break up if I move half meter away.
[23:19] <coolness> those little ones do that
[23:20] <MadLamb> jeremy31: I did find this hw probe of a similar machine and it indicates that "this device model is known to have problems" https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=f00fb4467d
[23:20] <MadLamb> but it is for kernel 5.4.0-40-generic. I am on 6.2.0-24-generic
[23:21] <jeremy31> MadLamb: What Ubuntu version, 23.04?
[23:21] <MadLamb> jeremy31: yes.
[23:22] <jeremy31> MadLamb: Try 22.04 as it is long term support
[23:22] <MadLamb> coolness: its a Google Pixel Buds Pro. I can still be very far away when connected to the phone. It must be something either software or hardware related in the notebook
[23:22] <jeremy31> The phone has more space for an efficient antenna
[23:22] <coolness> the little usb bluetooth ones break up easy
[23:22] <MadLamb> jeremy31: I was also having issues before. I did 22.04, 22.04.2, 22.10. All with problems
[23:23] <jeremy31> MadLamb: Using wifi at the same time?
[23:23] <coolness> if thats what you have anyways
[23:23] <MadLamb> jeremy31: no cable, but also had the same issue while using wifi
[23:24] <MadLamb> coolness: little usb bluetooth ones? what do you mean? it is a wifi + bluetooth card on the computer side
[23:24] <jeremy31> MadLamb: No idea as I can use my Sony headset upstairs while using Bluetooth
[23:24] <coolness>   oh
[23:26] <MadLamb> jeremy31: yes this is what it used to be. I could go anywhere in the house without any issue
[23:26] <MadLamb> jeremy31: now I move half a meter away and it breaks up
[23:27] <MadLamb> so I was wondering, maybe I should replace the wifi + bt card with a more modern one?
[23:29] <jeremy31> MadLamb: It might be caused by more 2.4GHz traffic in your area
[23:29] <MadLamb> jeremy31: I think its unlikely, but could be. In the same location it has no issue when connected to the phone.
[23:30] <coolness> you could also get one thats meant for stereos and just plug into headphones plug if you dont need mic
[23:30] <MadLamb> jeremy31: and it used to work exact the same way with the computer. It was probably a software update, kernel update, etc.
[23:30] <jeremy31> The phone likely is more optimized to wifi interference
[23:31] <MadLamb> do you think changing the wifi card is a bad idea?
[23:31] <coolness> no
[23:31] <MadLamb> I can prob get a good brand one for 30 eur
[23:34] <coolness> is it a desktop or laptop
[23:35] <coolness> maybe if laptop the antenna came off
[23:35] <coolness> the wire
[23:37] <MadLamb> coolness: possible. I already had this issue before and eventually it started working again.

[23:38] <MadLamb> this is my card
[23:39] <coolness> i dont like clicking links
[23:40] <MadLamb> its ebay official url, but I understand
[23:50] <MadLamb> well, bought a new card, 27 eur
[23:51] <MadLamb> thanks guys, crossing fingers it helps and the kernel likes it
[23:51] <coolness> good luck :D
[23:52] <MadLamb> got an intel ax210ngw
[23:53] <coolness> did you research it if it works first?
[23:54] <coolness> i think intels are pretty good. i had an intel that worked well
[23:54] <coolness> but thats like a newer one you bought
[23:54] <coolness> mine was an old one
[23:56] <MadLamb> I did find a article on ifixit and there was a comment that the guy got exactly this one
[23:56] <coolness> ah cool ok
[23:58] <MadLamb> well having issues already, would not make sense to bet a unknown brand will make my life easier, better go safe :D
[23:58] <coolness> are you on the laptop right now with irc
[23:58] <MadLamb> yes
[23:58] <coolness> if so its probably not the antenna
[23:59] <MadLamb> wifi is doing great, the issue is bluetooth
[23:59] <coolness> yeah
[23:59] <MadLamb> but i am also on cable right now
[23:59] <coolness> yeah
[23:59] <MadLamb> since its the same card i have to update wifi too :D
