should be easy..wpa_supplicant should have a config file in /etc...should contain your ESSID and password

I didn't try WEP or WPA - I just turned the encryption off completely, and that worked. maybe old Ubuntu didn't support WPA2?

lotuspsychje: I just want something to plug into the TV that I can stream from - nothing sensitive will be on it
dooglus 2017-03-03 16:48:21
when I say stream, i mean play streams, not broadcast
lotuspsychje 2017-03-03 16:48:38
dooglus: will the box be connected to internet?
dooglus 2017-03-03 16:49:02
yup. I'm doing an apt-get upgrade now - not sure if that's enough to upgrade the minor version number though
dooglus 2017-03-03 16:49:07
it's a 3 hour download
dooglus 2017-03-03 16:49:35
20% [214 libgs9-common 1,833 kB/2,067 kB 89%] 76.1 kB/s 1h 41min 46s
dooglus 2017-03-03 16:50:45
the laptop screen got smashed when the airbag went off when my driver hit a deer at high speed - so I figure it's idea for pluggin into the TV - don't need the laptop screen for that...

I have another question, which I wait for that apt-get upgrade to download...
dooglus 2017-03-03 17:03:29
my ISP limits my downloads to about 50 kB/s each. but if I do 20 downloads at once, they all get 50 kB/s, so it's not a bandwidth issue
dooglus 2017-03-03 17:03:57
is there some way I can ask apt-get to make multiple connections, maybe to download multiple packages at once? it would make the download so much faster
dooglus 2017-03-03 17:04:34
or, even better, is there some way I can have Ubuntu split *every* download over multiple TCP/IP connections, so I get more than 50kB/s per download?
lotuspsychje 2017-03-03 17:04:53
dooglus: better to let apt install the regular way
lotuspsychje 2017-03-03 17:05:12
dooglus: multiple sessions result in a lock
rocketeer 2017-03-03 17:05:43
lotuspsycheje: Multiple sessions actually playing with dpkg result in a lock
lotuspsychje 2017-03-03 17:05:57
dooglus: another workaround is to update your box in a public place faster?
dooglus 2017-03-03 17:05:59
lotuspsychje: I don't want multiple sessions
dooglus 2017-03-03 17:06:23
lotuspsychje: it's a few hours' drive to civilisation from here - so not really
rocketeer 2017-03-03 17:08:14
dooglus: "apt download packagename" will download it to the working directory
rocketeer 2017-03-03 17:09:15
I'm not sure if there's a way to make that play nicely with dpkg
