Re: [lubuntu-users] wifi
Hi I found this link, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Ralink_RT5370 I suggest not using vim (unless you are familiar with it) Use nano instead (also known as pico) On 05/25/2016 10:30 AM, Aere Greenway wrote: > On 05/25/2016 07:51 AM, Wilbert Heeringa wrote: >> |Ralink RT5370| > Wilbert: > > I have an RaLink wireless dongle (the one without an antennae, about > the size of a coin, sticking out of the USB connection about 1/4 > inch).

[lubuntu-users] Keyboard shortcuts to run arbitrary programs
Hi, I use both Ubuntu and Lubuntu. On Ubuntu I can use Super+1 to run the first program on the panel on the left of the screen. On Lubuntu, I can add programs onto the "Task bar" - added GNU emacs today, to accompany the icons to 1) start PCManFM and 2) start a web browser. I'd like to have a keyboard shortcut to run these options so I don't have to use the mouse to start one of those programs. Any ideas?

It seems like it used an rt2800usb driver, but my precise memory of it 'evaporated' as I started typing this information. This wireless dongle works with both Lubuntu 14.04, and 16.04. However, it gets very poor reception from my DSL wireless modem upstairs. Sometimes it 'sees' my wireless network, and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't 'see' my wireless network, I can't use it. Sometimes unplugging the wireless dongle, and re-plugging it in will get it to work. Sometimes a reboot will get to work. But that's too un-reliable, so I just use a different wireless dongle (unless it's close to and in line-of-sight of the wireless modem). -- Sincerely, Aere -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
[lubuntu-users] wifi
Dear all, I installed Lubuntu on a Toshiba Satellite M35X-S349. This is a laptop with a Centrino processor. First I installed Lubuntu 14.04. In the installation menu I entered the following command: file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash – forcepae Once Lubuntu 14.04 was installed, I upgraded to Lubuntu 16.04 with this command: sudo do-release-upgrade -d I did not manage to installed Lubuntu 16.04 directly on this computer, therefore this roundabout route via Lubuntu 14.04. Now the problem is with the wifi adapter. On my HP desktop computer I succesfully use the Ralink RT5370 wifi adapter in combination with Lubuntu 14.04 (thanks for Phill Whiteside). So I tried to use this adapter also for the laptop. To some extent is adapter is recognized: modinfo rt2800usb | grep 5370 alias: usb:vF201p5370d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v148Fp5370d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* But when clicking on the wifi icon in the lower right corner of the screen (left of the clock on the taskbar) not any wifi connection is listed. I looked at many websites, but they did not help me, also since some of them are outdated. Does anybody know how to get the wifi usb adapter working on this laptop? I would be immens thankful for any help. --Wilbert -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
