[00:25] <xubuntu54d> Hello
[00:26] <mrkramps> hi
[00:31] <KingsQuest> anyone get network browsing working in xubuntu 16.10 ?
[00:31] <KingsQuest> gigolo doesn't work either
[00:31] <KingsQuest> simply cannot resolve a lan backup
[00:32] <Unit193> Got winbind and libnss-winbind, btw?
[00:32] <KingsQuest> i'll ret
[00:32] <KingsQuest> try
[00:33] <Unit193> I mean, that really shouldn't be the issue, just helps resolve the hosts.
[00:33] <KingsQuest> yes i do.  still not working
[00:33] <KingsQuest> that was what i believed too
[00:33] <Unit193> Windows or Linux hosts?
[00:34] <KingsQuest> its a WD backup device
[00:34] <KingsQuest> probably biased towards windows and mac
[00:34] <KingsQuest> it works on windows 10
[00:34] <Unit193> So gvfs-backends and samba crap.
[00:35] <KingsQuest> doesn't work with that either
[00:35] <mrkramps> KingsQuest, exact model of this WD device?
[00:36] <Unit193> You tried the different cifs tools to try and figure out where the issue is?  (smbtree, smbclient)  Or mounting manually?
[00:37] <KingsQuest> WD MyBookWorld
[00:37] <Unit193> I 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] <KingsQuest> i have not tried cifs tools and gigolo doesn't mount manually.  is cifs necessary for network browsing ?
[00:38] <Unit193> It's Windows shares.
[00:40] <mrkramps> obviously even people with windows OS have problems finding this device in their network oO
[00:40] <Unit193> That's fun.
[00:42] <mrkramps> KingsQuest, can you access the device via webbrowser?
[00:46] <KingsQuest> yes
[00:50] <mrkramps> KingsQuest, and you have used this network drive before?
[00:50] <mrkramps> in terms of any linux could connect to a share?
[00:52] <KingsQuest> in a linux other than xubuntu it would access it on one occasion. it was lubuntu.  15.10 i think
[00:52] <KingsQuest> it still wasn't perfect
[00:52] <KingsQuest> but worked

[12:48] <TheWild> hello
[12:48] <TheWild> Giving 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.png
[12:49] <TheWild> how to deal with it?
[12:53] <TheWild> I could try to run the software manager in terminal to see debug messages, but it is hard to know what process name it is
[12:55] <TheWild> ok, that was "gnome-software". sudo gnome-software helped to run it, but first impressions weren't very good.
[12:59] <Castor_Troy> Audio is not working on my xubuntu, how can i fix it ?
[13:04] <TheWild> Removing Firefox failed. Oh wait, there are updates to Firefox. Maybe this will help.
[13:08] <MildlySeriousCat> Always do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y" after installing Xubuntu :p It dont install from net during install
[13:09] <TheWild> I always wonder why it isn't done automatically?
[13:09] <TheWild> I'm after update, but not upgrade
[13:10] <TheWild> It's live session btw
[13:10] <MildlySeriousCat> Nvm, think it do have an option to install from net. Anyway it is good to do to be sure
[13:21] <TheWild> downloaded 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 ./firefox
[13:22] <TheWild> Archive manager just disappears while extracting
[13:30] <flocculant> TheWild: if you want newer on the live session - just do what MildlySeriousCat says for update and upgrade
[13:30] <flocculant> why would you want to update packages and then not upgrade it?
[13:31] <TheWild> ^ that happened because I exhausted virtual disk free space on live session. I'm restarting it and going to do update and upgrade.
[13:32] <TheWild> I'm generally new to linux
[13:33] <flocculant> TheWild: aah right, well update just updates package list - upgrade grabs new package and installs it over old package (generally)
[13:47] <TheWild> Windows 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.
[13:49] <TheWild> However, I'm afraid that some day they hit a problem with new OS and I won't be able to help them.
[13:53] <MildlySeriousCat> DOnt give them the root password or a sudo abilities and they cant destroy it :p
[13:53] <TheWild> sure
[14:43] <SlabDabs> TheWild: honestly i'd just crack it
[14:43] <SlabDabs> if you can't get it to reauthenticate
[14:44] <SlabDabs> you have a key for it obviously, so morally i don't see much of an objection
[15:22] <xubuntu94i> hey
