[09:25] <Dr-redfield> Hey guys
[09:30] <Dr-redfield> I'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.. anyo
[09:31] <pmjdebruijn> Dr-redfield: what program?
[09:31] <Dr-redfield> it's a cisco program, RTMT
[09:32] <pmjdebruijn> did you start the installer from a terminal?
[09:33] <Dr-redfield> yes, I just entered "./Programname.bin" in the terminal, and that's where I get the error message
[09:33] <pmjdebruijn> can you pastebin the entire installer log
[09:33] <pmjdebruijn> as in on pastebin.com
[09:35] <Dr-redfield> http://pastebin.com/5gBeD7nw
[09:35] <Dr-redfield> sweet, never used pastebin before...
[09:36] <pmjdebruijn> ./CcmServRtmtPlugin.bin -i console
[09:37] <Dr-redfield> I tried that allready, did it again now just to be sure.. it makes no difference, I get the same exact error message
[09:37] <pmjdebruijn> feels like a broken installer
[09:38] <Dr-redfield> well that's not true, the "Grapical installers are not supported..." part is now missing
[09:38] <pmjdebruijn> of course
[09:38] <pmjdebruijn> you can try
[09:38] <pmjdebruijn> sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
[09:38] <pmjdebruijn> and see if the installer will use the system jre instead
[09:39] <Dr-redfield> openjdk-8-jre is already the newest version (8u121-b13-0ubuntu1.16.04.2)
[09:39] <Dr-redfield> I tried two diffrent versions of this installer ant it's the same thing with both of them
[09:39] <Dr-redfield> and I am pretty sure I have installed this on a ubuntu machine before
[09:40] <pmjdebruijn> no clue sorry
[09:40] <pmjdebruijn> commercial software is often quite buggy sadly
[09:40] <pmjdebruijn> if they just offered the .jar file :)
[09:40] <pmjdebruijn> "installers" are such a dumb idea to begin with :)
[09:40] <Dr-redfield> yeah..
[09:41] <Dr-redfield> could xfce have anything to do with this? is it worth the time to try another windowmanager?
[09:41] <Dr-redfield> since it works in ubuntu running gnome..
[09:42] <Dr-redfield> I'm just desperate..
[09:42] <pmjdebruijn> I would be honestly surprised if xfce would prevent it from being installed
[09:42] <cfhowlett> Dr-redfield, easy to test.  sudo apt install lxde.  logout, choose lxde session, login
[09:43] <Dr-redfield> I will try, just for fun
[09:50] <Dr-redfield> hehe, no that did not work.. well *sigh* I guess I have to install a virtual Windows machine then...
[09:50] <Dr-redfield> Thanks for your effort anyway.. really appreciate it! :)
[12:38] <necrophcodr> Hi 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] <necrophcodr> This 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] <necrophcodr> Could anyone help me out here?
[12:40] <necrophcodr> It works like this:
[12:40] <necrophcodr> I 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] <necrophcodr> The DNS server then reads my handwritten DNS zone file (verified with named-checkzone) and listens on a user port.
[12:40] <necrophcodr> I then set up a file /etc/dnsmasq.d/10-local that contains
[12:40] <necrophcodr> server=/local/127.0.0.1#port
[12:41] <necrophcodr> Hence, doing a simple "dig domain.local" returns the correct information, but "ping domain.local" returns:
[12:41] <necrophcodr> ping: unknown host domain.local
[12:54] <necrophcodr> I have finally solved it after working for a few hours
[12:54] <necrophcodr> Turns out that it was actually due to the /etc/nsswitch.conf file:
[12:55] <necrophcodr> hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
[12:55] <necrophcodr> That line ensured that the host would never be queried using the local DNS server, for some reason or other.
[12:55] <necrophcodr> However, changing it to
[12:55] <necrophcodr> hosts:          files dns mdns4
[12:55] <necrophcodr> Solves the issue, although I'm not sure if it would be the correct solution.

[16:09] <bonsaitree> Any documentation on how to *properly* modify the sources.list? Let's say i want to add a faster server and remove the default one.
[16:22] <bonsaitree> Why 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.
[17:38] <xubuntu71w> First I want to report the broken link on the h-page =>page Not Found
[17:39] <xubuntu71w> http://xubuntu.org/news/category/faq

[19:16] <xubuntu50w> hello there
[19:16] <xubuntu50w> everyone

[19:19] <knome> bunchies, no problems with using hdmi
[19:19] <xubuntu50w> i was trying to install ms office. I do install playonlinux and then winetricks
[19:20] <xubuntu50w> but nothing work
[19:20] <knome> xubuntu50w, is there a specific reason you absolutely need MS office for?
[19:20] <knome> xubuntu50w, 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 cases
[19:21] <xubuntu50w> yes, i need to open and edit some ms office docs and then resend
[19:21] <xubuntu50w> to my partners
[19:22] <knome> as i said, libreoffice can do that without problems in most cases
[19:22] <knome> have you tried it?
[19:22] <xubuntu50w> nop
[19:22] <xubuntu50w>  i didint yet
[19:23] <xubuntu50w> iĺl give a try
[19:23] <knome> i recommend doing that
[19:23] <xubuntu50w> iĺl let you know
[19:23] <xubuntu50w> thanx knome
[19:27] <xubuntu50w> i 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] <knome> no, but it's possible that with complex documents some visual effects might be a bit off; but you need to try it to know
[19:27] <xubuntu50w> thanks a lot
[19:28] <xubuntu50w> have a good day
