You're choosing the wrong laptop ?

Hi @lurkerth ! Welcome to the group

Hi group!

I got rid of my Dell Inspiron 5520 because of the same reason, even tho it still works fantastic for normal usage

my wife's older laptop is old. maybe not has 12 years, but congratulations .-)

btw Can any one advice me book(s) or course(s) to learn about pc hardware?

maybe Fedora shares some

btw Can any one advice me book(s) or course(s) to learn about pc hardware?

What exactly do you want to learn?

idk recently I found out that BT device in my laptop is in the same wireless card as wifi. I was shocked by the depth of my ignorance

I want to know everything!

As a primer, Sedra's book about electronics can introduce you from basic Electronic components to CMOS and how pc hardware is made of and explains well SRAM and DRAM technologies

I want to know everything!

Impossible :P

You already are 20 years late to learn everything about ISA cards and pains that they had with COM

And you likely dont know that your pc today still has ISA somewhere in the system for legacy reasons :P

I installed fedora spins on my think pad and the Bluetooth doesn't work ,any suggestions?

it's might be too deep :D

my bluetooth is dead.... I have tried it with few bluetooth handler packages, and after with a live distro

it's might be too deep :D

You said you want to know everything. The rabbit hole is always deep ;)

Replace the wifi card with the highest end model (no bios flash needed) or unlock the wifi list/flash coreboot and ge tthe best possible wifi chip.

Which thinkpad is it exactly?

it might be the entry point to start learn...

Which thinkpad is it exactly?

x1 carbon

You said you want to know everything. The rabbit hole is always deep ;)

yes, you're right!

1st gen

thx :3

yes, you're right!

Tanenbaum is a great start, not too deep, not too generic

x1 carbon

I dont know how well they are to open or if you can even replace the wifi+bt card in there

I don't think so coz most components are soldered

Secondly the BT Used to work in windows 10

Oh you can seprately switch bluetooth off, maybe its still switched off in hw

Tanenbaum is a great start, not too deep, not too generic

I actually forgot about Tanenbaum's Modern Operating Systems. A couple years ago I have read it to the middle of RAM chapter.

I don't think so coz most components are soldered

Can you do dmesg | grep -i bluetooth

Does any line like Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e6.hcd failed with error -2 appear?

If yes, welcome to the hell that is broadcom shitty products. You need the propreitary driver firmware. Slackwiki describes how to: https://www.slackwiki.com/Btfirmware-nonfree BUT ONLY IF THAT LINE IS IN THE DMESG LOG!

thx :3

welcome ?

Can you do dmesg | grep -i bluetooth

lemme try

I have used a web crawler written in python3 to save all the links, after opened with a text editor and searched for "file.all" and selected all that line. copied, pasted to another text file. and »> wget [commands] [download_path] -i [text_file_location] the ebooks are approximately 100GB

I would like to be immortal just to read all these books :c

Hey tobias the error doesn't appear

That doesnt seem right at all.

dmesg | grep -i bluetooth

Did you forget the | ?

yes,Sorry about that

If you do CS at university you must study them in ~3 months. It's your choice, if you are motivated enough and have passion for technology you can make it through ;)

No such error

I had some random IT courses while I studied... Now I want to know what I want :D

No such error

Then search in journalctl for bluetooth: journalctl "/" bluetooth

Oh, still broadcom.

Still a hell of a time that will await you.

Broadcom ...

do this sudo modprobe -r btusb && sudo modprobe btusb

I don't understand why Broadcom is so hard to make it work properly on Linux. How does M$ or Apple do? Request special datasheets from Broadcom? Make lots of quirks and hacks to appear stable? ?

something you have to do yourself ?

Afaict, it isn't even in the repos ?

Apple get direct drivers for them per contract. For M$ its hard too, old broadcoms will routinely fall out of maintenance - very old broadcoms may not work under modern windowses.

I decided to change my DE to KDE

Smart ?

Then search in journalctl for bluetooth: journalctl "/" bluetooth

no such file or directory

no such file or directory

you have opened journalctl.

Then typed /

then bluetooth

then enter

Afaict, it isn't even in the repos ?

if you have all the source codes, you can compile it ? don't be afraid.... I know, in the past and I was a beginner, a newbie....

ERROR: S client not available

without closing journalctl?

Hi Folks, Does anyone know about websites and contact forms? I got stuck trying to add one. Thanks in advance

then bluetooth

now I have gotten u

yes I have seen the commands

Oh, I see thank you. Maybe a little bit of reverse engineering of Apple HW could help us ?

Hi Folks, Does anyone know about websites and contact forms? I got stuck trying to add one. Thanks in advance

Use formspree.io if its a static website and you don't want to do a lot of work.

I want to know everything!

Everything is impossible. Nobody knows everything. But you can learn and know as much as you can. ?

Hi Folks, Does anyone know about websites and contact forms? I got stuck trying to add one. Thanks in advance

it depends what is your problem

was, in the past....

Pretty much :/

<Sheogorath[m]> @Kohane depends on what you need but you may want to use a regular HTML form + formspree

if you have all the source codes, you can compile it ? don't be afraid.... I know, in the past and I was a beginner, a newbie....

Something to consider, yeah... (I have to find time tho)

<Sheogorath[m]> @Kohane depends on what you need but you may want to use a regular HTML form + formspree

Ah, that sounds good. I'm still learning, so I don't want to overcomplicate it.

"class Bluetooth socket not defined in policy

Your bt firmware is giving a timeout error which is common error faced by broadcom Bluetooth in linux.. This is the sole reason I sold my previous laptop which came built in broadcom card. Try this sudo modprobe -r btusb && sudo modprobe btusb

Oh, I see thank you. Maybe a little bit of reverse engineering of Apple HW could help us ?

Its a bsd. The only thing that would help the world is broadcom never getting used wherever possible and using vendors that care atleast a tiny bit for users instead.

If you press / and just enter again it will jump trough the search results.

There must be more lines than that :P

like this?

.... I'm on the way to re-write my website to be mobile-compatible + adding a secured guestbook

<Sheogorath[m]> If it's about sending mail with sensitive content, you may don't want to use formspree and send it with a few liney of PHP or JS through your own server

it depends what is your problem

From what I've learnt, I have to add a link in the beginning of <form> but I don't know what should go there. I mean, I'm in a page named "contact-us" that is expected to have a contact form. Fine. Now in <form> what is the link for? Where should it point?

Oh, that's nice. I'm using Bootstrap to make it responsive.

Oh wait, you are given that task by your mentor now?

me too. the new template is almost done

<Sheogorath[m]> If it's about sending mail with sensitive content, you may don't want to use formspree and send it with a few liney of PHP or JS through your own server

No, no. No sensitive content. Just name, email & message.

Every form must have an action. Normally you use a server side language for this. Formspree allows you to just add a single line of code to email that to you

That always requires you to have some kind of server that takes the request and either makes a mail out of it or uses javascript to then hand it into a mail program for the user.

Oh wait, you are given that task by your mentor now?

Yes, I have a new task. He was happy with the results in my last tasks.

<Sheogorath[m]> @IceWreck, actually it's not even code. It's just a form destination

Yeah that.
