[08:00] <ApfH> Hello
[12:11] <pjotter> Hi people. I just tried installing Xubuntu 16.04 from a live CD and the installer seems stuck on a lot of "WARNING:root:can't add [packetname]..." Does anyone know what is going wrong here?
[14:06] <xubuntu90w> One question, I'm using Xubuntu (whatever version) trough VirtualBox and I always have the same problem: when I want to add Guess additions to put 1024x768 pix, appears an ISO to mount and there are some .exe's when I open, the result is an error that cannot open that file
[14:07] <xubuntu90w> I tried to input some code I saw on forums, but always with the same results
[14:09] <flocculant> let the cd run - in the filemanager which should open up, right click >open terminal here and then run the linux .run file - you will want sudo
[14:10] <flocculant> you can tab complete to make sure you get the filename correct
[14:14] <xubuntu90w> thanks for response. I opened the terminal and run the .run file, but appears another window with this message: This program must be run with administrator privileges. Aborting
[14:18] <xubuntu90w> thanks for response. I opened the terminal and run the .run file, but appears another window with this message: This program must be run with administrator privileges. Aborting
[14:22] <flocculant> as I said - you will want sudo
[14:24] <xubuntu90w> I don't know the code to be sudo :(
[14:25] <flocculant> it is sudo
[14:25] <Pici> xubuntu90w: its your password
[14:25] <flocculant> just sudo nameoffile.run
[14:31] <xubuntu90w> Appears "Command not found"
[14:31] <xubuntu90w> I put in my case: sudo VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
[14:33] <flocculant> xubuntu90w: please check you are in the correct folder to run it - the command looks right
[14:34] <flocculant> hence mention tab complete - it won't tab complete if you're not in the right place in the terminal
[14:36] <xubuntu90w> I'm in the disk directory mounted "VBOXADDITIONS v5.0.24_108355"
[14:37] <akxwi-dave> xubuntu90w, are in the terminal or in thunar file manager?
[14:38] <xubuntu90w> I'm on that directory that appeared once I click on guest additions and the disk mounted
[14:38] <akxwi-dave> ok
[14:38] <flocculant> you need to be in a terminal to run the command
[14:38] <flocculant> right click in there and 'open terminal here'
[14:38] <akxwi-dave> right click on any plain area of the file manager and select run treminal here
[14:39] <akxwi-dave> open terminal here that is
[14:39] <xubuntu90w> yeah, that was I did
[14:40] <akxwi-dave> in the terminal type in
[14:40] <akxwi-dave> sudo VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
[14:40] <xubuntu90w> and then I put my passwrd
[14:40] <akxwi-dave> yes
[14:40] <xubuntu90w> and finally appears the message I told: Command not found
[14:40] <xubuntu90w> (in spanish, orden no encontrada)
[14:41] <Unit193> akxwi-dave: Forgot ./
[14:41] <akxwi-dave> opppp   try      sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
[14:41] <xubuntu90w> ok
[14:42] <akxwi-dave> Unit193, doh
[14:42] <flocculant> hah
[14:42] <xubuntu90w> hahaha yeah! This works
[14:42] <flocculant> same forgetting here too ...
[14:42] <flocculant> sorry xubuntu90w :)
[14:43] <xubuntu90w> haha no prob friend
[14:43] <xubuntu90w> :D
[14:50] <akxwi-dave> hides face in shame...
[14:51] <flocculant> nah - just change your nick or pretend I stole yours :)
[14:52] <akxwi-dave> that will do me
[16:03] <ranu> flocculant, not sure if you remember but I was having a problem with VLC and the screen lock, I found the solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/668834/vlc-player-is-not-displaying-video-but-audio-works
[16:07] <flocculant> ranu: right the first time - no I don't remember :)
[16:08] <ranu> flocculant, no problem though :)
[16:08] <flocculant> looks a bit like the xubuntu clutter in parole (and other apps) issue
[16:09] <flocculant> hence us changing default from clutter there
[16:09] <flocculant> anyway - thanks for coming back and updating people :D
[16:10] <ranu> I still think that it has something to do with the problem in intel drivers (xorg), it never happened in older xubuntu versions (at least with me).
[16:11] <flocculant> ranu: possibly - an intel update recently fixed something else - rather unexpectedly
[20:26] <craigbass76> I've got a remote guy running a 14.04 livecd. Had him run apt-get install openssh-server, and after a sudo -i ran passwd xubuntu. I still can't ssh in.
[20:40] <genii> Should just be: passwd      ..as the default user which is named xubuntu. Then ssh in as user xubuntu and whatever password got set for that. After that use sudo to do admin things
[20:41] <genii> What you've done there is put a password on the root user, which normally is not allowed to ssh in
[20:41] <genii> ( or even have a valid login)
[20:44] <craigbass76> genii, well, as xubuntu I first just tried passwd. After we did the sudo -i, then passwd xubuntu (thought I was setting xubuntu's pass with that), then just passwd (thought I was setting root's with that)
[20:46] <craigbass76> We also got, both times, updated successfully, and I can't log in as either xubuntu or root
[21:01] <genii> craigbass76: If you're trying from some location on the other side of their internet, make sure the modem/router is forwarding port 22 to that machines LAN IP. If from inside LAN, make sure sshd is actually running by having him ssh localhost or his current IP
[21:05] <craigbass76> genii, He actually gets denied when running it. It's asking for a pass, so I'm assuming ssh is running. S'pose that's accurate?
[21:06] <Elec_A> Hi, I want to install KDE on my xubuntu, Is it ok if I add ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports repository ?
[21:07] <genii> Elec_A: Just sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ...after that you can start adding PPAs
[21:08] <Elec_A> genii: so should I add that PPA for Plasma 5.7 ? or not ?
[21:08] <knome> tbh, you should ask #kubuntu on kde specific issues
[21:08] <Elec_A> knome: but my OS is Xubuntu
[21:09] <knome> Elec_A, believe me, they know much more about installing plasma this and that than anybody here. and the core system is still ubuntu on both, so it doesn't really matter.
[21:10] <Elec_A> knome: nice, I just wanted to make sure the above PPA does not conflict with other packages.
[21:10] <Elec_A> I mean in Xubuntu
[21:11] <knome> xubuntu and kubuntu are very different; anything related to plasma will not conflict anything in xubuntu
[21:12] <genii> The main difference is it will replace the login with sddm, or if 14.04 then lightdm-kde-greeter
