I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I have xubuntu running on a VirtualBox. I am only interested in the terminal. Can I expose it somehow to the host OS so I can SSH into it, and perhaps even disable the GUI? [04:30] KalEl, ssh from your host to the ubuntu guest [04:30] Bashing-om It worked, I just repeated the whole system shift process in legacy mode [04:31] as far as disabling the gui, easiest way is to set the grub configuration to boot into text, but cleaner to install ubuntu-server with no extras [04:31] anirbaan: I had confidence :) [04:31] Bashing-om: ha ha ha [04:33] ffs, I log into steam through wine to run a windows game [04:33] cfhowlett, is the guest IP accessible to the host? [04:34] and a hardware survey comes up [04:34] KalEl, if you have the vbox network settings configured correctly, yes. best to ask #vbox or google [04:40] i need to see bpg files. Do I need libraries or a specific imageviewer? [04:41] lerner, bpg? [04:41] yes, thats the format [04:41] from what program? [04:42] anyone get color emojis working on chrome? [04:44] tried google noto color emoji but theres some kind of spacing issue and all numbers turn into emojis [04:44] from none progran, it is a file [04:47] lerner, google it up: bpg file view linux [04:50] does 'extract' work from the shell? it is a tar.gz file I want to make and install [04:50] good evening everyone! [04:51] @lerner man extract should give you the proper guidelines [04:52] anyone awake? [04:53] ok. Question: If I create a directory and extract a tar.gz there, does the tar.gz create the directory in a standard directory (like /etc/fgfs) or only in the directory I created? [04:54] is there a keyboard shortcut to switch sound sinks? [04:54] lerner: whatever is in the file gets extracted [04:54] lerner: what are you trying to install? compiling should be the last resort [04:55] Ben64, but ./configure, make and make install install the program in the proper directory and not in the extraction directory, correct? and Im compiling because it is apparently the only way. but please stick to this question [04:55] JFox762, function keys , on my keyboard fn+f5 [04:55] lerner: it probably isn't the only way, and ./configure, make, and make install have nothing to do with extracting a file [04:56] ahh ok [04:56] apt-install unzip, apt-unzip from directory should handle it [04:56] even so id like to understand this [04:56] lerner: the more you explain, the better [04:57] log preferred [04:59] fn key? I'm tanlking about a desktop PC here [04:59] My razer blackwidow *DOES* have an FN key... but it isn't anything like a laptop FN key [05:00] can someone give me a hand..i got one of my wifi adaptors stuck in monitor mode and was hoping someone could help me get it back to normal? [05:02] doc [05:03] yea [05:03] i do [05:03] sorry cant login === memphisw is now known as memphsiw === memphsiw is now known as memphisw [05:25] I pinged 192.168.56.1, which is my XUbuntu (I think), and I got a ping. Is there any way to know for sure? Any way I can see a log in the xubuntu or send back a 'Hi there' message from linux? [05:25] that's your gateway more than likely, Kal. lol [05:25] hey [05:25] hola, kuck. [05:25] Oh what does that mean [05:25] KalEl, great question! there's got to be a log entry that would show a response, but I don't know where to look. [05:25] The ping is actually not from xubuntu? [05:26] there is no /etc/group is it a problem? [05:26] depends, cuckoo, are you running at-risk PCI data or anything? [05:27] sudo mkdir from cd [05:27] problem solved [05:27] i am on ubuntu 16.04 LTS. [05:27] cd /etc/group [05:27] if it doesn't exist [05:28] cd /etc/ [05:28] opsu, do you need it for some reason?? [05:28] I am not sure if you can cd into /etc/group, isn't it a file [05:28] need what? [05:28] you could vi /etc/group [05:29] i was going to suggest a wipe instead of him sudoing the filesystem, lvm can be tricky to a beginner [05:29] Can I use something slightly more sophisticated than ping instead, that can send back a message? I don't know what though [05:30] KalEl, thankx [05:30] I.e. to know that the IP is indeed connecting to the Ubuntu guest machine inside Virtualbox [05:30] KalEl, ssh to the guest and do an ls or something [05:31] Much flattered that I am, I suppose your gratitude is misplaced since I didn't really answer you cuckoo. Perhaps someone else did, and I must apologize but I can't in right conscience accept the appreciation for someone else's effort [05:31] kalEl, netstat -i [05:32] SSH says access denied [05:33] Does that mean it's working? A random IP shouldn't say access denied, right? [05:33] did you ping .1? [05:33] Also, if it is working, is there anything I need to do to really enable ssh [05:33] KalEl, u said its not a file [05:33] that's more than likely the gateway to your initial connection, not the virtual machine. [05:34] and itsnt a folder its a file so i cant cd into it i can vi into it :) [05:34] Oh right... you are very welcome in that case! [05:34] but you can mkdir then chmod [05:34] Guy1524: steam is available for linux, you better run that :) [05:34] just delete system 32 bro [05:34] opsu, WHAT??? [05:35] !danger | opsu [05:35] opsu: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [05:35]
