@ThomasWard have some sugar with that coffee :=)

@Rinzwind the caffeine is important, it's what helps stabilize the INSANE in me :P

@cl-netbox well, i could, except, I'm at work, and, I can't drink at work :P

unlimited coffee though with a coffee maker at my own desk, so that's a plus >:D

cl-netbox

@ThomasWard reasonable argument ... :)

@ThomasWard better pure coffee than nothing at all - right ? :D

Thomas Ward

well, there's coffee like everyone drinks... and then there's coffee which fuels my power sometimes.

sinjax

hi :) so I'm having wifi problems on 16.04 that I can't debug... not sure how to proceed. My wifi card seems to be recognised and active?
`lsusb` shows the card
`dmesg` seems to suggest the card has been found (when i unplug and plug it back in)
but ... no wifi networks found in the top right. Clearly I'm missing a step in installing this thing but I have no idea what it is. any help?

Fabby

@dessert Danke!

@sinjax What's the link to your question on this sitte?

sinjax

should I ...ask it as a question on stack exchange?

Fabby

@sinjax On AskUbuntu.com, but...

thanks @fabby

having a look

just ran the info script, not much to divine there :)

Fabby

Nope, but now you're ready to ask a question on the site if you cannot figure it out yourself.

Post the paste.ubuntu.com link you got in your question.

hah yeah sorry changed the link :)

long day

feels.... like it's telling me the card is active and present? and yet it isn't visible in the network-manager menu

im starting to think the network manager menu isn't magic

Fabby

only looking now

was chatting

@sinjax Do you have an Ethernet cable?

@sinjax Disregard me for the moment.

@sinjax Chili555 is the best we have on the site for wireless problems!

Thomas Ward

@Fabby would you rather me just drop thermite on that one comment you made with the next one saying "disregard me"? (rather than leave the comment there)

sinjax

@Fabby

no ethernet cable long enough no :D

Fabby

19:58

@ThomasWard Are you the best we have then?

:-) :-) :-)

Thomas Ward

no i meant the possible duplicate comment :P

Fabby

Ah! :D

You idiot! :-) :-) :-)

Thomas Ward

@Fabby chili555 really is one of the best at fixing wifi hardware problems, you aren't wrong about that one.

Fabby

@sinjax Do you have a desktop or a tower?

@ThomasWard Starred for his enjoyment!

Thomas Ward

fun fact: my phone tries to autocorrect your name to 'Flabby' whenever I type it in. You didn't anger someone at Samsung or who works on the Android OS did you? >.>

Fabby

20:00

:D :D :D

It's a pretty good phone then!

sinjax

...? :D it's a tower...

Thomas Ward

@Fabby oh, also, 'desktop' and 'tower' are synonymous. #fail

Fabby

@sinjax Are you older than 70?

@ThomasWard nah. if desktop, I would have asked older than 80...

sinjax

@fabby not last i checked :)

i like to imagine this line of questioning will lead to an answer, but i suppose not :)

Fabby

@sinjax Well then move your tower closer to the router, plug in the short Ethernet cable and run:

sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

because you're running o an old kernel and it might just automagically dissapear after the update.

(but like I said: follow chili555's request and post the output in your question)

@sinjax Chili already found the issue...

He's good!

sinjax

20:09

Chilli suggested disabling a module which seemed to make the wifi interface disappear.

i tried disabling the other one he said was conflicting

no joy on the scan

Fabby

@sinjax I told him to drop by here.

IMHO, you should upgrade your kernel first, but I'll ask chili first.

sinjax

fair.

Fabby

SMOKE! BRB...

sinjax

I mean i guess i can just, reinstall to the latest ubuntu, the machine is a bit of a wrapper around the GPU that i access through docker so the specific install of ubuntu is a little irrelevant

Thomas Ward

waves to @chili555

chili555

20:18

@sinjax I suggest that you actually blacklist rtl8192cu and reboot and check. If no joy, change the blaclist file to blacklist rtl8xxxu and reboot. Do you need a step-by-step?

sinjax

how does one blacklist a thing

:)

chili555

Good afternoon @ThomasWard

@sinjax Please return to your question and I'll propose an answer. Depending on the result, I'll edit the answer to further refine it.

@sinjax wait until he's posted an answer...

chili555

@sinjax Tentative answer posted.

sinjax

@chili555 blacklisting the first had no effect, attempting to blacklist the second

Fabby

20:31

upvoted already because it's going to be solved soon!

@chili555 How are you doing lately???

Thomas Ward

@Fabby you presuppose that I had only one mouth to begin with, or that I even have a mouth. For all you know I have a computer jacked into my mind that translates what I want to say into a speaker and speaks for me. :)

chili555

@Fabby LOL! Fingers crossed.

sinjax

@chili555 alas, no change :) i'll revert that

Fabby

@ThomasWard :D I indeed presumed you were human... Now I know you're not!

;-) :-) ;-)

@sinjax you tried both already now? :/

chili555

@sinjax We need one or the other blacklisted and then we can troubleshoot, starting with dmesg | grep rtl

David Foerster

20:34

Hi @all!

Fabby

Guten Abend!

sinjax

having a look

chili555

@sinjax which is blacklisted now and did you reboot after applying the blacklist?

David Foerster

I came across an (apparently Iranian) user with double Sig runes as their profile picture. :-S

Don't know if SE tolerates such things…

sinjax

removed the blackllist... trying something... booting off a usb and seeing if the wifi just...works?

seems like it doesn't work from the usb either...interesting

Fabby

20:41

@DavidFoerster It's cultural... Illegal in Germany, offensive to most of Europe, not so much outside there.

chili555

@sinjax blacklist rtl8192cu and then let me see: dmesg | grep rtl I'd probably also revert your partly faulty additions to /etc/network/interfaces as well and let Network Manager do the work.

David Foerster

@Fabby I'm aware of that much. I'm trying to find SE's stance specifically.

Fabby

I'll ask around in The Tavern.

chili555

Offensive in my neck of the woods, too.

sinjax

welp. I have found that one of my usb wifi dongles seems to work with ubuntu 18.04 :D so...if none of this works I'll just install that

but let's keep going for a bit... dmesg | grep rtl, let me just boot again

@DavidFoerster they've been running sales recently. It was $5 on steam about a month ago for all platforms

David Foerster

@RobotHumans Yeah, GOG and Steam both have summer sales. I try to avoid the latter though if I can.

Sebastian Stark

I didn't even know GOG has Linux games

David Foerster

The only things I bought on Steam in the last 8 years are games made by Valve (and thus don't work without Steam) or when no other platform sold the Linux build at a reasonable price (e. g. XCOM: EU).

(GOG does sell XCOM: EU for Linux now but they didn't at the time.)

RobotHumans

I bought dying light there, and I buy bundles there sometimes - if it's 4-10 games for $20 USD.

David Foerster

@SebastianStark They did so for years.

@Fabby that's awesome. And good I didn't write anything. I did not even know MMCs are replaceable.

David Foerster

@SebastianStark Never mind. They announced it as a possibility at an early development phase but decided against it in favour of other more popular platforms.

Sebastian Stark

21:25

oh

Fabby

@SebastianStark Yes you do:

MultiMediaCard

In consumer electronics, the MultiMediaCard (MMC) is a memory-card standard used for solid-state storage. Unveiled in 1997 by SanDisk and Siemens AG, MMC is based on a surface-contact low pin-count serial interface using a single memory stack substrate assembly, and is therefore much smaller than earlier systems based on high pin-count parallel interfaces using traditional surface-mount assembly such as CompactFlash. Both products were initially introduced using SanDisk NOR-based flash technology. MMC is about the size of a postage stamp: 24 mm × 32 mm × 1.4 mm. MMC originally used a 1-bit serial...

Sebastian Stark

haha, I never heard of those cards, how is this possible.

Fabby

Do you have a phone with an SD-Card?

this is the old version

David Foerster

I think the Linux port of TW2 came to be because a game porting studio received funding for it from investors due to the hype around SteamOS and the Steam Box. CDPR didn't do it itself but sold the rights to that studio. I hear the port performed rather poorly.

Sebastian Stark

@Fabby of course I know SD cards

Fabby

21:28

Same technology, different form factor

Sebastian Stark

@DavidFoerster they should release cyberpunk as linux only :)

Fabby

@SebastianStark He'll probably need the service manual of the Lenovo to take it apart and change the MMC, but it's a hardware problem, so...

RobotHumans

Original MMC is SD form factor. microSD is basically what everything uses now (rpi3, bbgw/bbb, phones, cameras)

Sebastian Stark

what I mean is: if for some thing there exists an "ergonomic" version, it normally means that it's bad for you. Sitting, typing, mousing, lifting

I think the only way to fix it is to avoid as much as possible

David Foerster

It actually lets and makes me sit straight instead of just letting me slink down on it over time.

Sebastian Stark

@DavidFoerster hope it works for you then

consider an adjustable standing table

David Foerster

Yes, that's certainly among the list of things to get even just for reading. That's half of a good developer's work anyway.

Like, at least a podium with a tablet computer or e-reader.
