Jul 27 13:29:03 <waheedi> sup folks :)
Jul 27 13:29:13 <waheedi> glad to find this channel
Jul 27 13:29:28 <waheedi> any advice on getting the wifi up on ubuntu 18.04 arm 64 for pi 3?
Jul 27 13:30:05 <waheedi> when i do ifconfig wlan0 up i get nothing
Jul 27 13:30:20 <waheedi> ifconfig > has no wlan0 device
Jul 27 13:30:30 <waheedi> thanks lotuspsychje :)
Jul 27 13:31:29 <waheedi> brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_map_chip_to_name: using brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin for chip 0x004345(17221) rev 0x000006 from dmesg
Jul 27 13:31:42 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: im not used to arm devices, but does your wifi device has driver loaded?
Jul 27 13:31:56 <waheedi> usbcore: registered new interface driver brcmfmac
Jul 27 13:32:02 <waheedi> lotuspsychje: how to check on that?
Jul 27 13:32:12 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: sudo lshw -C network
Jul 27 13:32:20 <lotuspsychje> at bottom should show driver=
Jul 27 13:32:25 <waheedi> let me check
Jul 27 13:33:44 <waheedi> lotuspsychje: anything other than lshw -C network
Jul 27 13:33:55 <waheedi> as I'm blindly using my keyboard on that pi :)
Jul 27 13:34:14 <waheedi> no screen no serial connection nor usb to ethernet
Jul 27 13:35:07 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: can you ssh in there?
Jul 27 13:35:23 <waheedi> no, i just login through the keyboard
Jul 27 13:35:40 <waheedi> then I mount the sd card to my machine
Jul 27 13:36:38 <waheedi> lotuspsychje: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/G3CrwC2syc/
Jul 27 13:36:44 <waheedi> DISABLED
Jul 27 13:37:04 <lotuspsychje> yeah disabled seems not good heh
Jul 27 13:37:42 <lotuspsychje> does the Pi have a wifi switch or something?
Jul 27 13:38:18 <lotuspsychje> or uefi?
Jul 27 13:38:42 <waheedi> no
Jul 27 13:38:52 <waheedi> nothing that i'm aware of
Jul 27 13:39:48 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: how about a bios?
Jul 27 13:40:00 <waheedi> no
Jul 27 13:40:09 <lotuspsychje> im a pi noob sorry :p
Jul 27 13:40:23 <lotuspsychje> something blocks the card heh
Jul 27 13:40:37 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: can you reach your dmesg in a pastebin?
Jul 27 13:40:59 <waheedi> yeah i have it
Jul 27 13:41:07 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: i can take a look
Jul 27 13:41:51 <waheedi> lotuspsychje: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vdbcMdHPsx/
Jul 27 13:42:40 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: thats a linaro image you are using
Jul 27 13:43:14 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: they have their own channel on freenode, #linaro
Jul 27 13:43:29 <waheedi> i got it from here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases/bionic/release/ubuntu-18.04.2-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3.img.xz
Jul 27 13:43:58 <lotuspsychje> hmm
Jul 27 13:44:40 <waheedi> honestly this is the first time i hear of linaro
Jul 27 13:44:41 <waheedi> :)
Jul 27 13:45:03 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: same here lol, but thats what your kernel says in dmesg
Jul 27 13:45:11 <lotuspsychje> and the channel exists..
Jul 27 13:45:22 <waheedi> yeah true
Jul 27 13:46:07 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: did you try another broadcom driver yet from repos?
Jul 27 13:46:34 <lotuspsychje> apt-cache search broadcom
Jul 27 13:47:21 <waheedi> no internet on that machine
Jul 27 13:47:41 <lotuspsychje> not handy that, as updates could fix your issue
Jul 27 13:47:49 <waheedi> true
Jul 27 13:48:07 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: maybe try the offline broadcom method, are you familliar?
Jul 27 13:48:27 <waheedi> i tried to use the latest firmware for it
Jul 27 13:48:32 <waheedi> but not the drivers
Jul 27 13:48:50 <waheedi> lotuspsychje: any recommendations?
Jul 27 13:48:59 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: check your install media source for the /pool directory there's the broadcom drivers you can install offline
Jul 27 13:49:22 <waheedi> well, thats a preinstalled image
Jul 27 13:49:36 <lotuspsychje> on an sd or so?
Jul 27 13:49:42 <waheedi> yes
Jul 27 13:49:48 <lotuspsychje> right..
Jul 27 13:50:26 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: check your software & sources perhaps, see if you can enable the install medium
Jul 27 13:53:04 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: first tab, you see a dvd 18.04 bionic?
Jul 27 13:53:49 <waheedi> lotuspsychje: no i don't see it
Jul 27 13:54:40 <lotuspsychje> https://i.stack.imgur.com/DiL3n.png
Jul 27 13:54:47 <lotuspsychje> looks like this, but with 18.04 at bottom
Jul 27 13:55:40 <waheedi> no screen, no ssh, no vnc :)
Jul 27 13:55:42 <waheedi> nothing
Jul 27 13:55:56 <lotuspsychje> handy :p
Jul 27 13:55:59 <waheedi> yaa
Jul 27 13:56:30 <waheedi> maybe its worth it to buy a usb to ethernet plug
Jul 27 13:56:31 <waheedi> :)
Jul 27 13:57:01 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: i see in your dmesg there's a broadcom kernel line added
Jul 27 13:57:08 <lotuspsychje> maybe thats where it goes wrong?
Jul 27 13:58:46 <waheedi> lotuspsychje: which one?
Jul 27 14:01:54 <waheedi> one more thing, why each time the machine reboots the date is gone
Jul 27 14:02:11 <waheedi> i tried to set both date and hwdate for current time
Jul 27 14:02:11 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: hmm, im reading things in forums like that firmware doesnt work by default, and some compile driver from source oO
Jul 27 14:02:36 <waheedi> hmm
Jul 27 14:03:27 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: this looks interesting: http://geekinlinux.blogspot.com/2018/06/raspberry-pi-3-b-no-wireless-interfaces.html
Jul 27 14:03:40 <waheedi> on it
Jul 27 14:03:41 <lotuspsychje> i think we can conclude your driver doesnt load/work right
Jul 27 14:04:35 <waheedi> dmesg does not complain though?
Jul 27 14:04:45 <waheedi> it says driver registered
Jul 27 14:05:07 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: yes, i was browsing on: brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_map_chip_to_name: using brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin for chip 0x004345(17221) rev 0x000006
Jul 27 14:05:17 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: and as your card says disabled..
Jul 27 14:05:49 <lotuspsychje> a woring card should show chipset and driver= at bottom
Jul 27 14:06:26 <waheedi> brcmfmac: brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds: Firmware version = wl0: Feb 27 2018 03:15:32 version 7.45.154 (r684107 CY) FWID 01-4fbe0b04
Jul 27 14:07:05 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: think you need to find a newer firmware, and do that dpkg trick
Jul 27 14:07:18 <waheedi> this one from the GitHub repo
Jul 27 14:07:54 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: you grabbed the firmware yourself?
Jul 27 14:07:55 <waheedi> https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/tree/master/brcm
Jul 27 14:07:58 <waheedi> yeah
Jul 27 14:08:24 <waheedi> brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin brcmfmac43455-sdio.clm_blob and brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt
Jul 27 14:08:45 <lotuspsychje> maybe thats why it doesnt work?
Jul 27 14:09:13 <waheedi> it was the same before
Jul 27 14:10:07 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: check the ubuntu archives, just like that forum does with debian
Jul 27 14:10:22 <lotuspsychje> maybe there are useful firmwares in /pool too
Jul 27 14:11:42 <waheedi> lotuspsychje:  i followed this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi#Wifi
Jul 27 14:13:05 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: did you execute the wifi steps?
Jul 27 14:13:11 <waheedi> yes
Jul 27 14:13:32 <lotuspsychje> and reboot too?
Jul 27 14:16:35 <waheedi> yeah hard shutdown :D
Jul 27 14:16:46 <waheedi> looking at this: https://github.com/tomeshnet/mesh-orange/issues/47
Jul 27 14:24:16 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: try this perhaps http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/f/firmware-nonfree/
Jul 27 14:24:54 <lotuspsychje> thats the same archive as that forum, and try that dpkg trick
Jul 27 15:54:22 <waheedi> what are the wireless-tools version for arm 64?
Jul 27 15:54:42 <waheedi> iw and ifconfig are not found by networks-dispatcher
Jul 27 15:54:47 <waheedi> networkd*
Jul 27 15:55:38 <waheedi> i can't find arm here http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/w/wireless-tools/
Jul 27 15:56:21 <waheedi> i think this should work http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/w/wireless-tools/
Jul 27 16:06:03 <lotuspsychje> waheedi: here some broadcoms: http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/
Jul 27 16:06:22 <waheedi> thanks lotuspsychje
Jul 27 16:21:35 <waheedi> well, I can see the wlan0 in ifconfig now
Jul 27 16:21:36 <waheedi> :)
Jul 27 16:21:49 <waheedi> i changed the default.target system to multi-user
Jul 27 16:22:48 <waheedi> it seems I was booting in emergency before, and graphical target does not seem to make it, as the getty screen gets reset every 5/6 seconds
Jul 27 16:23:53 <waheedi> still i'm not connected to the network, but the wlan0 device in ifconfig is bit relifeing
Jul 27 19:18:43 <waheedi> finally I'm in :)
