xubuntu54dHello00:25
mrkrampshi00:26
KingsQuestanyone get network browsing working in xubuntu 16.10 ?00:31
KingsQuestgigolo doesn't work either00:31
KingsQuestsimply cannot resolve a lan backup00:31
Unit193Got winbind and libnss-winbind, btw?00:32
KingsQuesti'll ret00:32
KingsQuesttry00:32
Unit193I mean, that really shouldn't be the issue, just helps resolve the hosts.00:33
KingsQuestyes i do.  still not working00:33
KingsQuestthat was what i believed too00:33
Unit193Windows or Linux hosts?00:33
KingsQuestits a WD backup device00:34
KingsQuestprobably biased towards windows and mac00:34
KingsQuestit works on windows 1000:34
Unit193So gvfs-backends and samba crap.00:34
KingsQuestdoesn't work with that either00:35
mrkrampsKingsQuest, exact model of this WD device?00:35
Unit193You tried the different cifs tools to try and figure out where the issue is?  (smbtree, smbclient)  Or mounting manually?00:36
KingsQuestWD MyBookWorld00:37
Unit193I used to mount the cifs drives due to better throughput than gvfs gave me, but that's been a while and I wasn't using a network drive but was to a Win host.00:37
KingsQuesti have not tried cifs tools and gigolo doesn't mount manually.  is cifs necessary for network browsing ?00:37
Unit193It's Windows shares.00:38
mrkrampsobviously even people with windows OS have problems finding this device in their network oO00:40
Unit193That's fun.00:40
mrkrampsKingsQuest, can you access the device via webbrowser?00:42
KingsQuestyes00:46
mrkrampsKingsQuest, and you have used this network drive before?00:50
mrkrampsin terms of any linux could connect to a share?00:50
KingsQuestin a linux other than xubuntu it would access it on one occasion. it was lubuntu.  15.10 i think00:52
KingsQuestit still wasn't perfect00:52
KingsQuestbut worked00:52

TheWildhello12:48
TheWildGiving Xubuntu a try. I managed to successfully change language... except internet browser. Maybe I should remove this one and install international version, but the software manager just stays like this: http://pasteboard.co/fEqoL2rPP.png12:48
TheWildhow to deal with it?12:49
TheWildI could try to run the software manager in terminal to see debug messages, but it is hard to know what process name it is12:53
TheWildok, that was "gnome-software". sudo gnome-software helped to run it, but first impressions weren't very good.12:55
Castor_TroyAudio is not working on my xubuntu, how can i fix it ?12:59
TheWildRemoving Firefox failed. Oh wait, there are updates to Firefox. Maybe this will help.13:04
MildlySeriousCatAlways do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y" after installing Xubuntu :p It dont install from net during install13:08
TheWildI always wonder why it isn't done automatically?13:09
TheWildI'm after update, but not upgrade13:09
TheWildIt's live session btw13:10
MildlySeriousCatNvm, think it do have an option to install from net. Anyway it is good to do to be sure13:10
TheWilddownloaded firefox-49.0.1.tar.bz2. I can't "just install" it. I opened it to see what's inside and it seems like there are binaries inside instead of source code. Fine, maybe I can extract it and run it via ./firefox13:21
TheWildArchive manager just disappears while extracting13:22
flocculantTheWild: if you want newer on the live session - just do what MildlySeriousCat says for update and upgrade13:30
flocculantwhy would you want to update packages and then not upgrade it?13:30
TheWild^ that happened because I exhausted virtual disk free space on live session. I'm restarting it and going to do update and upgrade.13:31
TheWildI'm generally new to linux13:32
flocculantTheWild: aah right, well update just updates package list - upgrade grabs new package and installs it over old package (generally)13:33
TheWildWindows 7 on my parents notebook once got fundamental reinstallation (not recovery). It worked fine for few months until it started displaying message about being non-genuine. Maybe it's good time to go open-source instead of bugging Microsoft to fix the issue.13:47
TheWildHowever, I'm afraid that some day they hit a problem with new OS and I won't be able to help them.13:49
MildlySeriousCatDOnt give them the root password or a sudo abilities and they cant destroy it :p13:53
TheWildsure13:53
SlabDabsTheWild: honestly i'd just crack it14:43
SlabDabsif you can't get it to reauthenticate14:43
SlabDabsyou have a key for it obviously, so morally i don't see much of an objection14:44
