<hateball> AhrenLinux: because that router should have gigabit speeds

<AhrenLinux_> hateball connection shows 1gbps on laptop
<hateball> weird
<hateball> AhrenLinux: we could for fun, try and force gigabit "sudo ethtool -s enp0s31f6 speed 1000 duplex full"
<hateball> that'll most likely end up in sadness, so use "sudo ethtool -s enp0s31f6 speed 100 duplex full" to return
<AhrenLinux_> Ok, I ran that
<hateball> do a speed test or so
<-- AhrenWindows (18382ac0@gateway/web/freenode/ip.24.56.42.192) has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
<AhrenLinux_> and the speed test results are back to slow
<hateball> yep
<AhrenLinux_> 0.02 mbps
<-- AhrenLinux (18382ac0@gateway/web/freenode/ip.24.56.42.192) has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
<AhrenLinux_> so, I forced it back to 100
<hateball> So, the problem here then is that the kernel driver for some reason is not super awesome, and with the switch it autonegotiates for gigabit, which it cant handle
--> batteronizer (~abhishek@182.64.91.39) has joined #kubuntu
<hateball> but the router recognizes this, and negotiates for 100mbps
<AhrenLinux_> Ok
<-- kottlett (~goeser@dslb-088-074-001-059.088.074.pools.vodafone-ip.de) has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
<hateball> so we'll want to force 100mbps as a permanent workaround
<AhrenLinux_> Ok, so there is a driver issue preventing me from getting gigabit speeds.
<AhrenLinux_> So help me force the 100mbps permanent workaround, and let me know what I need to keep an eye on to be updated in the future
<AhrenLinux_> Please :)
<hateball> So it would seem. It is possible there's kernel parameters to fix this, but I am not familiar with the chipset so
<hateball> AhrenLinux_: right, so you'll want to "sudo nano /etc/rc.local" and add "sudo ethtool -s enp0s31f6 speed 100 duplex full" without quotes at the bottom of that file, ctrl+x to close and save
<hateball> AhrenLinux_: then try a reboot, and check with "ethtool enp0s31f6" that 100mbps has been set
--> AhrenLinux (18382ac0@gateway/web/freenode/ip.24.56.42.192) has joined #kubuntu
<AhrenLinux> Ok, just connected back through the switch
<hateball> rc.local *should* wait for networking, but... I am not 100% with systemd. otherwise we'll go a different route
<AhrenLinux> Last message I saw was "because that router should have gigabit speeds"
<AhrenLinux> All other computers on the network get gigabit speeds

<hateball> AhrenLinux: so you saw nothing after that message?

<hateball> you've replied, after all :p
<-- AhrenLinux_ (18382ac0@gateway/web/freenode/ip.24.56.42.192) has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
<AhrenLinux> I'm sorry, all I got was "[00:15] <hateball> rc.local *should* wait for networking, but... I am not 100% with systemd. otherwise we'll go a different route"
