[01:47] <dskw> hi, i've asked this yesterday in #ubuntu but didn't get a reply. i'm experimenting using a preseed file with ubuntu 16.04 mini ISO for installation. manually, i'd select 'Ubuntu standard utilities' and 'Xubuntu minimal installation'. for my preseed file, i included "d-i tasksel/first multiselect ubuntu-standard, xubuntu-core" but xubuntu didn't get installed. what's the entry for tasksel if i'd like to get x
[01:47] <dskw> ubuntu core installed?
[03:35] <BR_GhostBuster> hello
[03:35] <BR_GhostBuster> im a new user of xubuntu :D
[03:36] <xangua> One of us, one of us
[03:58] <BR_GhostBuster> hi
[06:22] <xubuntu906> hello
[08:33] <on3pk> Hey.  Is it possible to give a user or application rights to open raw sockets?
[14:53] <xubuntu03w> Hi everyone :)
[14:55] <xubuntu03w> I'm trying to install a toicj screen monitor om xubunto, but unfortunatly
[14:55] <xubuntu03w> I don't no how to do it...
[14:55] <knome> "toicj"?
[14:55] <xubuntu03w> Can everyone please help me?
[14:56] <GeekDude> everyone?
[14:56] <xubuntu03w> Any...*
[14:56] <GeekDude> I think toich is supposed to be touch
[14:56] <GeekDude> xubuntu03w: I take it just plugging it in didn't work?
[14:57] <GeekDude> Did you plug in both the video cable and the USB cable?
[14:57] <xubuntu03w> You are right GeekDude ;)
[14:58] <xubuntu03w> Yes vídeo and usb cables are conected...
[15:02] <xubuntu03w> I've tried the command apt-get xinput-calibrator and it work correctly...
[15:03] <xubuntu03w> But the touch monitor haven't been found!
[16:35] <xubuntu86w> How does a free VPN service like OpenVPN work? If it's free, who's paying for it?
[16:35] <pleia2> it's not a service, it's a program
[16:36] <xubuntu86w> So it's just a client?
[16:36] <pleia2> you can run it yourself on your own server (I do)
[16:36] <xubuntu86w> I see
[16:36] <pleia2> or you can pay someone to manage it for you
[16:36] <pleia2> there is a client and server
[16:37] <xubuntu86w> I don't have the technical capabilities to run a VPN on my own server, though I would like to as it seems like the safest option.
[16:37] <pleia2> !vpn
[16:37] <pleia2> gosh, that hasn't been updated in a long time
[16:38] <pleia2> https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/openvpn.html
[16:38] <pleia2> that's probably better ^^
[16:38] <xubuntu86w> If I'm running it on my own server, is it only useable at home?
[16:38] <xubuntu86w> Thanks
[16:38] <pleia2> if your server has a public IP address you can use it externally too
[16:39] <xubuntu86w> I suppose the first step then is to build my own server.
[16:44] <xubuntu86w> Is there an equally safe alternative to using a personal server, like a paid service (e.g. PrivateInternetAccess, TorGuard VPN, etc.)?
[16:45] <pleia2> openvpn.net links to privatetunnel.com but I've never used it or any other
[16:49] <xubuntu86w> For the time being, I'll take other precautions to improve my internet privacy. I need to figure out how exactly I want to setup as VPN
[16:49] <pleia2> good luck :)
[16:49] <xubuntu86w> *setup a
[16:51] <xubuntu86w> I've seen a slot of firefox plugins like HTTPS everywhere, PrivacyBadger, and random agent spoofer, but it seems kind of overwhelming because there are so many plugins and applications to use. Do you know of a basic online guide for privacy?
[16:52] <xubuntu86w> * seen a lot
[17:20] <xubuntu01w> I downloaded Tor from the Tor website, unzipped the archive, and ran the configuration file, but the icon doesn't show up in my whisker menu
[17:21] <Noneatme> hello, quick question: What can I do if my Sound indicator icon disappeared? I've installed some mesa stuff, and now it's gone
[17:22] <xubuntu01w> In other words, in order to launch the browser, I need to run the file from the zip archive; it isn't listed as an application in applications menu
[17:22] <flocculant> xubuntu01w: it doesn't - you run it from the extracted folder - you'd need to create a launcher for it
[17:22] <flocculant> alternatively install it from the repos
[17:22] <xubuntu01w> sudo apt-get install tor?
[17:23] <flocculant> torbrowser-launcher
[17:23] <flocculant> then run that and it does some more bits iirc
[17:24] <xubuntu01w> okay, thanks
[17:24] <xubuntu01w> since i've already installed, how do I create a launcher for the application?
[17:26] <flocculant> right click on the menu - edit applications > then add the launcher https://smdavis.us/doku/doku.php?id=menulibre_usage
[17:26] <xubuntu01w> Thank you
[17:26] <flocculant> welcome
[17:39] <nikulinlg> hi all! I have a problem with the indicator on the taskbar . Not displayed dropbox icon. Sorry for my English
[17:53] <xubuntu19w> hi, where can i find the signature or hash file for the xubuntu image?
[17:56] <genii> !md5
[18:03] <xubuntu19w> thanks. but i know how to do it. I just dont know where to find the md5. Should be here: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
[18:06] <flocculant> xubuntu19w: there's a link in the first to the hashes page - ends up here for Xubuntu http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/
[18:06] <flocculant> choose your version
[18:07] <flocculant> Noneatme: sound indicator is in Indicator Plugin - check that's there
[18:11] <Noneatme> nothing there
[18:11] <Noneatme> completly gone
[18:11] <Noneatme> :c
[18:11] <Noneatme> pavcontrol works fine
[18:12] <flocculant> Noneatme: indicator plugin is gone? just add it back to the pane;
[18:13] <flocculant> sigh ... panel :)
[18:14] <Noneatme> I mean the sound item in the indicator pane
[18:14] <Noneatme> that's the main problem...
[18:15] <flocculant> Noneatme: dpkg -l indicator-sound    does that show ii ?
[18:16] <Noneatme> it says un  indicator-sound  <none>        <none>        (no description available)
[18:16] <flocculant> of course - I'm not quite sure what "I've installed some mesa stuff," means
[18:16] <Noneatme> |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
[18:16] <flocculant> oh right - install indicator-sound - do it in a terminal see if there's an issue with the 'stuff' you installed
[18:17] <Noneatme> huh how did I uninstalled it
[18:17] <flocculant> no idea ;)
[18:17] <flocculant> anyway - in a terminal sudo apt-get install it - see what it says
[18:17] <Noneatme> wohoo it's back
[18:17] <Noneatme> thanks man
[18:17] <flocculant> welcome :)
[18:22] <Noneatme> someone here with knowledge of blender?
[18:23] <Noneatme> ah
[18:23] <flocculant> try the #ubuntustudio channel perhaps
[18:25] <flocculant> xubuntu19w: sorted now?
[18:43] <xubuntu27w> Will using a free SOCKS proxy slow my internet connection?
[18:44] <xubuntu27w> And is there a security risk?
[18:44] <Azelphur> xubuntu27w: yes.
[18:46] <xubuntu27w> I was really hoping there would be a way to improve my internet privacy without using a paid VPN/proxy service. Is building my own server really the only way?
[18:47] <xubuntu27w> (that is free and trustworthy)
[18:48] <xubuntu27w> Aside from using Tor (which is slow) and various firefox plugins.
[18:52] <Azelphur> xubuntu27w: not really, the act of "privacy" usually involves simply routing your connection through something else, if you can't trust the something else, then it's not safe
[18:54] <xubuntu27w> Okay, thanks
[18:57] <ondondil> xubuntu27w: If you want to improve your privacy you could avoid using services from big companies like google or facebook
[18:59] <xubuntu27w> I no longer use facebook and am in the process of eliminating all of the google services I am signed up for. I now use DuckDuckGo and have signed up for a RiseUp.net email account
[19:00] <xubuntu27w> So I am taking some steps, though I would like to make more changes
[19:00] <xubuntu27w> I have also begun using KeePassX
[19:01] <Azelphur> xubuntu27w: I'm a reasonable fan of privacy, but there's only so far you can go, at the end of the day your ISP is privvy to what you do
[19:01] <Azelphur> but beyond that, there are things you can do, I run a lot of services on a server at home, such as ownCloud, GitLab, etc..
[19:02] <xubuntu27w> I would build my own server if I had the knowledge to do so. It is something I need to look into and become more knowledgable of
[19:04] <xubuntu11w> Hello.
[19:05] <Azelphur> !hello | xubuntu11w
[19:05] <xubuntu11w> I'm having an issue and wondering if anyone can help me resolve it.
[19:05] <Azelphur> !ask | xubuntu11w
[19:08] <xubuntu11w> I am running Xubuntu 16.04 on a laptop. I have set Xubuntu to Switch off my display (but not sleep) in Xfce Power Manager when the lid is shut on the "General" tab. On the "System" tab, I have both sections set to never suspend. Still, when I shut the lid, my laptop sleeps. I need to resolve this because I run a media server and need it to always be on. If I leave the lid open, the laptop never sleeps, but it seems to sleep almo
[19:11] <Azelphur> I noticed that on Xubuntu, not sure why it happens though, sorry
[19:13] <xubuntu11w> Yeah. That's my main issue, but it's compounded by the fact that resuming from sleep never works right.
[19:18] <pleia2> xubuntu11w: your line cut off at "but it seems to sleep almo"
[19:18] <pleia2> but I haven't had trouble with resuming on my laptops, aside from the known missing cursor issue
[19:21] <xubuntu11w> pleia2: "but it seems to sleep almost immediately when I close the lid." was the conclusion of that section. Upon attempting to resume, the laptop turns back on but nothing displays on the monitor. I heard somewhere it may have something to do with the proprietary NVIDIA driver, though this doesn't happen with standard Ubuntu, only Xubuntu.
[19:21] <pleia2> I have to tap the power button to wake mine up fully, but I think that's just an HP-ism of my laptops
[19:21] <pleia2> (it's always been that way)
[19:23] <xubuntu11w> pleia2: I read that might work somewhere and tried it. No luck. The only way to use the laptop after sleeping is to power it off completely and boot it back up. I have a Sager NP9377s (Clevo P377SM-A).
[19:23] <pleia2> not much of a sleep then :(
[19:24] <xubuntu11w> Hence why I'm trying to avoid going to sleep altogether. (Well, to avoid having my computer sleep... I still need sleep myself)
