Magnetz741Hey all03:50
Magnetz741So I'm working on something funky, trying to make xfce4 behave like i3wm keyboard shortcut and window manager wise, I've managed to set my hotkeys how I like for the most part with the workspaces, but I can't set i3 as my Window Manager. Is there a way to make xfwm4 behave like i3wm so that it automatically tiles windows?03:51
Magnetz741I can't get XFCE4 to run with anything other than stacking Window Managers03:52

Guido1I have a problem with a samba (xp) printer. i get the errormessage Gestopt - Backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb does not exist! The comand sudo ln -fs /usr/local/bin/smbspool /usr/local/lib/cups/backend/smb does not work18:27
geniiGuido1: Remove the symbolic link and install the smbclient package18:47
Guido1genii: what are the comants?18:48
Guido1genii: i have the normal sambaa installed18:49
geniiGuido1: sudo rm /usr/local/lib/cups/backend/smb    then: sudo apt update && sudo apt install smbclient18:50
Guido1genii: "/usr/local/lib/cups/backend/smb"does not exist18:51
Guido1instalation running18:52
Guido1how can i check it? in the printer settings i still see "Gestopt - Backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb does not exist!"18:53
geniiGuido1: Close all the printer stuff, then: sudo service cups restart18:56
genii( alternately, just reboot)18:56
Guido1still the same in the print manager18:57
geniiProbably cached18:59
geniiGuido1: Try a reboot instead. I'll still be here19:00
Guido1will do it in a second19:02
Guido1back19:06
Guido1and still have Gestopt - Backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb does not exist!19:06
geniiGuido1: What says result of:  ls -l /usr/lib/cups/backend/*19:08
Guido1genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15955025/19:09
arunpyasiHi guys, I am trying to listen songs from my PC via bluetooth to my bluetooth headset but I am having issues. I don't hear anything..19:15
geniiGuido1: The symlink was not removed.19:19
geniiGuido1: sudo apt purge smbclient && sudo rm /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb && sudo apt install smbclient19:20
Guido1genii: i enterd the comand so and it says that it does not exist. a bit strange19:20
geniiApologies on lag, I'm at work and being asked to actually do some work :)19:21
* genii slides Unit193 a fresh coffee19:23
Unit193:)19:24
Guido1genii: it says again that /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb can't be removed as it does not exist19:26
Guido1genii: however, it seams that it is removed now.19:28
Guido1genii: but after restarting the cups i still have the same error message19:29
geniiIt  seems that it is correct for /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb to point to /usr/bin/smbspool but that smbclient package does this automatically when it gets installed19:29
Guido1now there is no smb in the map19:30
geniiGuido1: Earlier you used a different path. What is the result of: ls -l /usr/local/lib/cups/backend/19:32
Guido1genii: does not exist19:32
geniiOK19:33
geniiGuido1: Sorry, fresh out of ideas at the moment19:33
geniiGuido1: As you can see at http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/amd64/smbclient/filelist  the smbclient package is what installs the things which your CUPS says is missing19:33
Guido1looks like it is looking for /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb19:34
Guido1maybe try to install it again19:34
Guido1and remove before compleetly19:34
Guido1genii: or may smb link to a non existing place?19:39
geniiGuido1: What is the result of: ls -l /usr/bin/smb*19:40
Guido1genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15955469/19:41
geniiNope, it exists19:42
geniiConceivably the file refers to shared libraries whish are not there19:42
Guido1you mean the printer is not there?19:43
geniiGuido1: It's tedious to do, but if you get a list of what shared files /usr/bin/smbspool uses, then you can look in those directories and see if all the files it refers to are actually there.19:44
geniiGuido1: ldd /usr/bin/smbspool   ...will tell you the shared libraries it wants to use19:45
Guido1genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15955537/19:45
Guido1any files are suspicious or more likely to cause troble?19:46
geniiGuido1: Those are the shared files it wants to use to operate. As you can see they are all in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu  subdirectories. So the idea is go down the list file by file and see if they actually exist there in those directories where smbspool thinks they are19:48
Guido1genii: yea, will do that. was hoping you had an idea which files are likely to be wrong so that i can start looking for those first19:50
geniiNot offhand, sorry19:54
geniiProbably a way to script the searching but I don't have time to write such a thing right now19:54
Guido1don't see libsmbconf.so.019:55
Guido1ah, cheked the wrong folder19:55
Guido1don't see libc.so.619:58
Guido1don't see libpthread.so.020:01
Guido1genii: libtime-basic.so.020:01
Guido1libbsd.so.020:02
Guido1oh, different place ...20:03
arunpyasiHi guys, I am trying to listen songs from my PC via bluetooth to my bluetooth headset but I am having issues. I don't hear anything..20:06
knomearunpyasi, consult a medical doctor if you have hearing issues20:06
knome:P20:06
arunpyasiknome: hehe. are you comedy me ?20:07
knomearunpyasi, of course i'm joking...20:07
arunpyasiknome: BTW, good answer :D20:07
knomearunpyasi, maybe share some details; what's wrong with the headset?20:07
arunpyasiknome: is your nick mixture of KDE and Gnome ? :P20:07
knomei mean, does it connect correctly, does it work with other devices...20:08
knomearunpyasi, nope.20:08
arunpyasiknome: yeah, it does work with other devices.20:08
geniiGuido1: ls -l $(ldd /usr/bin/smbspool|cut -d' ' -f3 ) seems to work20:08
arunpyasiI think I have bluetooth issue with my PC running xubuntu20:08
knome(not that i'm able to help much with bluetooth stuff, but for others who might)20:08
geniiGuido1: If there are files which are missing, then to search for those on the "Search contents of packages" part of http://packages.ubuntu.com/20:10
Guido1genii: looks like libtime-basic.so.0 is missing20:16
geniiGuido1: Weird, can't find it at http://packages.ubuntu.com/20:19
geniidpkg -S on my box here says it comes from the package samba-libs20:20
Guido1genii: output of ls -l $(ldd /usr/bin/smbspool|cut -d' ' -f3 ): http://paste.ubuntu.com/15955952/20:22
Guido1genii: everything seams to be there20:23
Guido1genii: will do another reboot20:24
Guido1genii: back20:28
Guido1still have Gestopt - Backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb does not exist!20:29
Guido1genii: why the heel is linux always switching the printers off???20:30
geniiNo idea :(20:30
Guido1now it says inactief20:31
Guido1genii: now i have "Aan het verwerken - Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds..."20:32
Guido1if i want to change the path i have to enter some kind of user name and pasword20:33
geniiThat would be the username and password on the XP machine the printer is connected to20:34
Guido1also can't open any files on the xp machine20:34
Guido1genii: on the xp there is no pasword set.20:35
geniiGuido1: Sorry, I'm out of ideas on where to try looking next20:36
Guido1maybe i have to get my 89/xp dual boot working again ...20:37
Guido1also i'm not promted for any pasword if i try to open files. just get the message that it is rejected20:38
Guido1genii: as path I use smb://Yi/BrotherDCP.20:41
geniiMight need the IP instead20:41
Guido1genii: worked when the printer was conected to the dual boot. was thinking about capital leters etc.20:42
Guido1genii: don't remember how i set it up with the pasword issue20:45
* genii makes more coffee20:48
