| grl | Hello, I have an application that is sending broadcast requests by an UDP socket, but i think xubuntu is blocking it. How can i check if xubuntu is allowing broadcast? | 01:16 |

| dorianjames | hello | 07:58 |
| diogenes_ | hello | 07:58 |
| dorianjames | i have a real annoying issue with my install of xubuntu. Would you be able to help me? The wifi is blocked by hardware | 08:02 |
| dorianjames | i've tried a lot of things from forums with no luck | 08:03 |
| diogenes_ | dorianjames, what about checking bios? | 08:13 |
| diogenes_ | there are cases when it's blocked in bios | 08:13 |
| dorianjames | i don't see any options in the BIOS for WIFI | 08:17 |
| diogenes_ | what is the laptop model? | 08:18 |
| dorianjames | lenovo t430s | 08:19 |
| dorianjames | i'v seen something about a ribbon cable inside but i really don't want to open it up. | 08:20 |
| diogenes_ | dorianjames, keep in mind, when it's about lenovo, you better ask for refund or throw it in the trash | 08:30 |
| diogenes_ | lenovo is the most crappy thing of all crappies thing ever | 08:30 |
| diogenes_ | 90% of all people who come here for help are lenovo users | 08:32 |
| bazhang | hardware critique is better in #xubuntu-offtopic please | 09:08 |
| dorianjames | well i ended up opening it up and pushing the ribbon cable in more and that worked. thanks for your time | 09:09 |

| tsglove | Hello. I am setting up a small lab inside VirtualBox. I want to create an "internal network" between those virtual machines. | 12:15 |
| tsglove | I was wondering: should I setup three different servers? One for DHCP, one acting as gateway, and one as DNS? | 12:16 |
| aot | how can I know when my xubuntu was installed? | 12:17 |
| tsglove | tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 **OR** /dev/sdb1* | grep 'Filesystem created:' | 12:18 |
| tsglove | maybe | 12:18 |

| aot | oh, cool. thanks. yeah, should have just googled :) | 12:21 |

| AppAraat | hello, I would like to have Scale and Expo effects (https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/641v1n/kde_is_pretty_rad/dfzp3aj/) on Xubuntu 16.04 - What is the most stable way I can have those? Install compiz? If so, what compiz packages do I need? | 15:36 |
| xangua | Doesn't alt+tab do that already? Well kinda | 15:47 |
| AppAraat | yeah kinda, it lets me cycle through windows but doesn't really let me go 2 dimensional and select using arrow keys | 15:52 |
| AppAraat | also Expo... I frequently drag&drop windows to specified virtual desktops | 15:53 |
| AppAraat | lol installed compiz and did compiz --replace and now all window decorations are gone and I can't move my windows | 16:02 |
| AppAraat | some things never change :p | 16:04 |
| xangua | You needed a gtk/compiz window decorator ten years ago, you still need one today | 16:08 |
| AppAraat | why is that not included as dependency to compiz package though? | 16:09 |
| xangua | I believe it does, haven't used a combination of compiz and xfce since years ago | 16:11 |
| AppAraat | if it does then perhaps it's a (packaging?) bug? | 16:12 |
| xangua | You just need to figure out how to select a (metacity¿) theme, if you even have one installed | 16:13 |
| xangua | You can also install kwin, that would be actually a sane option since compiz doesn't seem to have a future | 16:13 |
| xangua | !compiz | 16:13 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 16:13 |
| xangua | Mmm there was a different factoid | 16:14 |
| AppAraat | I installed Xubuntu Core on Ubuntu 16.04 mini install if that matters. | 16:14 |
| AppAraat | oh kwin on 16.04 is a can of worms that I tried to fix but gave up on | 16:14 |
| AppAraat | it was my first choice though | 16:15 |
| xangua | You might be interested in mate (gnome two fork), it integrates with compiz better | 16:16 |
| AppAraat | is a metacity theme included here? Because every choice I make doesn't add window decos: https://s28.postimg.org/rp1thq6n1/Virtual_Box_minibuntu_16.04_12_04_2017_18_13_50.png | 16:16 |
| xangua | Or at least offers it in a default Ubuntu mate install | 16:16 |
| AppAraat | hmm, I'll try that. I tried Mate and Kwin and at least Kwin didn't crash then so I guess it might work. | 16:17 |
| xangua | Well xfce window settings will only show you xfce windows (xfwm) themes | 16:17 |
| AppAraat | ah I thought it was just WM configuration regardless of WM. I'll try to find Compiz config somewhere. | 16:18 |
| AppAraat | (should actually be in the menu) | 16:18 |
| AppAraat | well I installed compizconfig-settings-manager but couldn't find much there. I'll just try this with Mate and see how it goes. | 16:24 |
| xangua | Mate is a full desktop environment | 16:31 |
| AppAraat | XFCE too I think :p | 16:37 |
| xubuntu13d | hi im trying to find the right release to turn my old pc into home sever.. any help | 18:40 |
| knome | there are likely better distributions for home servers, but if you want xubuntu, pick any of the supported releases... | 18:41 |
| encomjones | xubuntu13d: I would use a LTS realease | 18:41 |
| xubuntu13d | ive tried lubuntu basic server but had ata2 error 16 probs | 18:42 |
| xubuntu13d | my system: pentium 4 3054 mhz socket 478 1gb ram | 18:43 |
| knome | if you are having hard drive issues, changing the distribution won't help | 18:43 |
| xubuntu13d | i read that the error can be fixed by selecting cable select | 18:44 |
| xubuntu13d | so do the release need certain hard drive | 18:44 |
| knome | no | 18:45 |
| xubuntu13d | thats what i thought.. the only os i can get to work is puppy.. is ther a ubuntu release simular | 18:46 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu13d, the complete error message would help identifying the exact problem | 18:48 |
| xubuntu13d | i will try xubuntu LTS then.. thanks | 18:48 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu13d, and you should check your hdd's s.m.a.r.t. values | 18:48 |
| xubuntu13d | is there any specific bios setting for the release | 18:49 |
| mrkramps | no | 18:49 |
| xubuntu13d | the hdd s.m.a.r.t is set in bios right? | 18:50 |
| mrkramps | no | 18:50 |
| xubuntu13d | ok | 18:50 |
| mrkramps | all hdd controller | 18:50 |
| mrkramps | and yes, it might be possible on very old drives the feature is not enabled | 18:51 |
| xubuntu13d | i remember seeing it when was enabling the usb booot | 18:51 |
| mrkramps | hmkay, might be possible you bios can ensure this feature enabled by the controller then | 18:52 |
| xubuntu13d | yes that was it.. the bios was simply enable s.m.a.r.t .. i'll search for it before trying LTS.. | 18:53 |
| xubuntu13d | thanks | 18:53 |
