Dr-redfieldHey guys09:25
Dr-redfieldI'm trying to install an Java program on my xubuntu but when I run it, it gives me a error saying: "Graphical installers are not supported by the V;. The console mode will be used instead..." and then it exits... I've googled the issue and I believe that this is caused by me running linux in 64 bit and the program I'm trying to install is in 32 bit.. however I am not able to find any solution to how to enable the 32bit installer to work on my system.. anyo09:30
pmjdebruijnDr-redfield: what program?09:31
Dr-redfieldit's a cisco program, RTMT09:31
pmjdebruijndid you start the installer from a terminal?09:32
Dr-redfieldyes, I just entered "./Programname.bin" in the terminal, and that's where I get the error message09:33
pmjdebruijncan you pastebin the entire installer log09:33
pmjdebruijnas in on pastebin.com09:33
Dr-redfieldhttp://pastebin.com/5gBeD7nw09:35
Dr-redfieldsweet, never used pastebin before...09:35
pmjdebruijn./CcmServRtmtPlugin.bin -i console09:36
Dr-redfieldI tried that allready, did it again now just to be sure.. it makes no difference, I get the same exact error message09:37
pmjdebruijnfeels like a broken installer09:37
Dr-redfieldwell that's not true, the "Grapical installers are not supported..." part is now missing09:38
pmjdebruijnof course09:38
pmjdebruijnyou can try09:38
pmjdebruijnsudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre09:38
pmjdebruijnand see if the installer will use the system jre instead09:38
Dr-redfieldopenjdk-8-jre is already the newest version (8u121-b13-0ubuntu1.16.04.2)09:39
Dr-redfieldI tried two diffrent versions of this installer ant it's the same thing with both of them09:39
Dr-redfieldand I am pretty sure I have installed this on a ubuntu machine before09:39
pmjdebruijnno clue sorry09:40
pmjdebruijncommercial software is often quite buggy sadly09:40
pmjdebruijnif they just offered the .jar file :)09:40
pmjdebruijn"installers" are such a dumb idea to begin with :)09:40
Dr-redfieldyeah..09:40
Dr-redfieldcould xfce have anything to do with this? is it worth the time to try another windowmanager?09:41
Dr-redfieldsince it works in ubuntu running gnome..09:41
Dr-redfieldI'm just desperate..09:42
pmjdebruijnI would be honestly surprised if xfce would prevent it from being installed09:42
cfhowlettDr-redfield, easy to test.  sudo apt install lxde.  logout, choose lxde session, login09:42
Dr-redfieldI will try, just for fun09:43
Dr-redfieldhehe, no that did not work.. well *sigh* I guess I have to install a virtual Windows machine then...09:50
Dr-redfieldThanks for your effort anyway.. really appreciate it! :)09:50
necrophcodrHi everyone. I'm using my Xubuntu desktop as a web development workstation, and for that, I'll be using Caddy with the DNS feature enabled.12:38
necrophcodrThis requires me to change dnsmasq configuration so that it also forwards certain requests to the Caddy DNS server and port. Well, I went and did it, and confirmed the functionality with a simple `dig` command, however it doesn't seem to work when I ping the domain, even though it points to 127.0.0.1.12:38
necrophcodrCould anyone help me out here?12:38
necrophcodrIt works like this:12:40
necrophcodrI have a caddy file which describes the bare basics of my web site, and it also includes a startup command that starts another caddy instance in the background, as a DNS server.12:40
necrophcodrThe DNS server then reads my handwritten DNS zone file (verified with named-checkzone) and listens on a user port.12:40
necrophcodrI then set up a file /etc/dnsmasq.d/10-local that contains12:40
necrophcodrserver=/local/127.0.0.1#port12:40
necrophcodrHence, doing a simple "dig domain.local" returns the correct information, but "ping domain.local" returns:12:41
necrophcodrping: unknown host domain.local12:41
necrophcodrI have finally solved it after working for a few hours12:54
necrophcodrTurns out that it was actually due to the /etc/nsswitch.conf file:12:54
necrophcodrhosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns12:55
necrophcodrThat line ensured that the host would never be queried using the local DNS server, for some reason or other.12:55
necrophcodrHowever, changing it to12:55
necrophcodrhosts:          files dns mdns412:55
necrophcodrSolves the issue, although I'm not sure if it would be the correct solution.12:55

bonsaitreeWhy the *main* software repository is not present in the sources.list file? I have restricted, universe and multiverse, but *main* is not present. Thanks in advance.16:22

xubuntu50wbut nothing work19:20
knomexubuntu50w, is there a specific reason you absolutely need MS office for?19:20
knomexubuntu50w, libreoffice is available in the repositories, it'll work much smoother and has all the same features - and can open/save in MS formats without problems in most cases19:20
xubuntu50wyes, i need to open and edit some ms office docs and then resend19:21
xubuntu50wto my partners19:21

xubuntu50wthanx knome19:23
xubuntu50wi have a last question, if i edit ms office doc on libreoffice doesnt change any config on the document? like fonts, page layout, etc?19:27
knomeno, but it's possible that with complex documents some visual effects might be a bit off; but you need to try it to know19:27
xubuntu50wthanks a lot19:27
