[00:00] lsb_release shows 14.04.5 as well [00:02] Greetings all [00:03] I'm looking for a php expert. I've install php 5.6 on Ubuntu 16.04. Is there a way to confirm if mbregex is enabled? And, if it is not, how do I enable it? [00:10] hi! is pacmanfan around? [00:13] transhuman: Enter into your client pacman ; if it autocompletes, yes the party is on-line - else not . [00:17] actually I figured he might have changed his handle [00:18] t3kg33k, make sure you have installed the mbsting module (i believe mbregex is part of it), $ sudo apt-get install php-mbstring [00:18] perhaps it might now be pacbard [00:19] iCherry I did install that module. So, mbregex is enabled by default when that module is installed? [00:19] t3kg33k, are you running this within a webserver like apache, or cli? [00:19] yes, apache [00:20] did you also install the apache php lib? [00:21] $ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php [00:21] I don't think so. I installed apache, then installed php 5.6 with modules [00:22] libapache2-mod-php has the mbstring module built in [00:22] it looks as if I did install it [00:23] you can test if php works by doing the following: [00:23] iCherry, thanks a lot [00:23] echo "" > /var/www/html/index.php [00:23] I created a phpinfo file and it shows all the information [00:23] yep [00:23] that is the default document root for apache [00:24] I see the mbstring module, I just couldn't see the mbregex [00:24] mbregex is part of mbstring [00:24] you could also try this: [00:25] [00:26] iCherry From command line? Or, do I just add that to the php info file? [00:26] add it to a .php file [00:27] then go to the website and check if it works [00:30] iCherry the page does not load from that new file [00:31] oh sorry, my bad, try this: [00:31] [00:32] iCherry That worked. Thanks. Output is 'loaded' [00:33] t3kg33k, no problem === zenguy- is now known as zenguy [01:06] every now and then after 20 min or so; my ubuntu 16.04 laptop drops my bluetooth connection to my headphones and i have to reconnect [01:06] is this a known problem/ [01:10] arooni, sounds like a power saving feature is causing it. [01:12] helo I'm having trouble with my wifi. It's a ralink board. Anyone can telme a good wifi board that works fine in ubuntu? [01:12] i'm using ubuntu 16.04 [01:14] eremita, generally, anything with intel is well supported in Linux. Most of Atheros as well. Here is the support status for different ones: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers [01:15] apn: thanks [01:22] apn: way to disable that? [01:28] arooni, kind of. You will have to find out if it's bluetooth device, or port (like USB for instance) power management that does it. Then you can go to /sys to check power setting (/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:00.0/power for instance) and change it from auto to on. [01:28] arooni, or you can use a tool like powertop to see if it can see it in tweaks. [01:37] Hey all, where can I get information on the preseed file syntax and possible options? [01:37] !preseed [01:42] DWSR: hi, https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/s390x/apb.html might help [01:44] glitsj16: That's helpful, thank you [01:45] DWSR: you're welcome, had it in my bookmarks === vimart is now known as Bischoop [02:36] what causes this error when restarting a network device: RTNETLINK answers: File exists [02:37] Don't use multiple default gateways [02:39] If you need to use a secondary gateway use a static route and you won't get that error. Make sure only one is in the interfaces file [02:42] https://gist.github.com/mnathani/b2c682a497406cd765b068134263468a [02:42] thats my /etc/network/interfaces [02:43] Ah ok, that is just the most common reason for it. Possibly the interface can't be stopped when it does the restart for some reason [02:44] If it detects it already up it will give that error as duplicate [02:45] ok, silly question... is there a simple calculator GUI I can install in ubuntu? similar to the microsoft one, I just type calc in the command box and it pops up, nothing fancy... [02:45] root@water:~# ifdown ens160 && ifup ens160 [02:45] ifdown: interface ens160 not configured [02:45] RTNETLINK answers: File exists [02:45] Failed to bring up ens160. [02:46] so, I should reboot? [02:47] Does it give the same error when you use the new IP tool ? [02:47] the nettools will be deprecated eventually [02:47] what new IP tool? [02:47] ip [02:47] as in: ip link set dev ens160 down [02:47] whats a sample command [02:47] ip link set dev ens160 down && ip link set dev ens160 up [02:47] like that? [02:47] ya [03:45] What does Ubuntu do to allow udisksctl to mount block devices without prompting for authentication? I'm trying to replicate the same thing on Debian Stretch. [03:52] Upgraded my Dell XPS 15 from 16.04 to 17.04 over the weekend. After the first restart it goes to a black screen with '/dev/sda1 clean ####/##### blocks'. The OS is started in the background since I can ssh into the box, but something is going on with X or a driver I think. I've tried installing, removing, and every combination of driver possible. I finally gave up this afternoon and upgraded to 17.10 hoping that would get me some [03:52] I can successfully boot to the console, but am unable to `startx`. I'm out of ideas so any advice is appreciated. [03:52] hi, support for ubuntu 16.10 was ended two night a go, and now i want to upgrade to 17.04. using sudo apt dist-upgrade... it says nothing is there to update! sudo apt do-release-upgrade shows No new release found! [03:52] what should i do now? [03:54] senaps: `sudo do-release-upgrade -d` [03:54] senaps: sorry, `sudo do-release-upgrade` no need for the `-d`. [03:55] yup that throws a no new release found too :( [03:56] senaps: open up Software & Updates. Under the `updates` tab select `notify me of new ubunt version:` and set it to `for any new version`. that should do it. [03:58] jerknextdoor: i have done that too! its on any new version. it prompted me 2 nights ago for a upgrade but i didn't have a stable connection so i clicked on tell me later! now it's not upgrading or showing the need for upgrade:( [04:23] if i only wanted to accept incoming ssh connections from other computers within my network and not outside of my router, is there a way I can enforce that on ubuntu? [04:25] snowkidind: You can try setting the listen address to be your local subnet. [04:25] snowkidind: Or you can configure the firewall to just allow connections to your machine from your local subnet. [04:25] oh ok [04:26] thanks ill dig a bit [04:49] hello everyone [04:50] I think I messed up my dns settings, I can't lookup anything [04:50] how can I reset it to default? [04:50] neither nslokup nor other internet applications work. nslookup server 8.8.8.8 works [04:50] also server 127.0.0.1 (dnscrypt) works just fine [04:51] but other than that nothing else works out side of nslookup [04:51] help please [04:53] campitor: well what did you do to cause the problem [04:53] Hello, I did a minimal install on my laptop. My integrated webcam doesn't seem to work. I have installed 'libv4l-0' and here is my demsg https://paste.debian.net/978006/ Also I don't have /dev/video present. [04:53] Ben64 : it is the funny part, I really don't know what got me here. === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [05:02] nope not working still [05:02] how can i force the whole os to only and only do ns lookup on 127.0.0.1:53 ? [05:02] and no where else? [05:03] campitor: you should really try to remember what you did [05:04] i really only set the dns setting for ethernet connection, nothing else [05:05] so unset that [05:05] i don't know why the system is persistent on usin 127.0.1.1:53 (Bind if I am not mistkaen) eventhough I am telling it to go for 127.0.0.1 [05:05] theres no difference between 127.0.1.1 and 127.0.0.1 [05:06] ok,, if no diff, why nslookup on server 127.0.1.1 times out, but it answers perfectly on 127.0.0.1 [05:06] it really doesn't work on 127.0.1.1 !!!! [05:06] you're going about this all wrong [05:06] how? [05:07] just unset the dns [05:07] clear the settings? [05:07] all of them? [05:07] yep [05:07] and it will lookup on my 127.0.0.1:53 ? auto? [05:07] ok [05:07] let me go for it [05:08] with no dns set for ethernet: server can't find www.google.com: REFUSED [05:08] !!! [05:08] now reboot [05:08] ok [05:09] 89ANI567 [05:10] oops wrong place for BIOS pass [05:10] LOL [05:14] Ben64 : Ben my man, now server 127.0.0.1 > www.google.com results in server can't find www.google.com: SERVFAIL [05:14] !! [05:14] yet dnscrypt-proxy reports successful proxying to the dnscrypt server [05:15] did I mess something up or is this normal [05:15] yeap working now [05:15] wrong server chosen [05:16] campitor: if you're going to pick a dns server, pick an actual dns server [05:16] what do you mean? [05:16] actual? [05:16] dnscrypt is pretty good, no? [05:17] oh dnscrypt [05:17] cause without it, I think anyone can easily send me to www.letmehackyou.com instead of www.google.com [05:17] not really [05:17] not just my isp, any one with access to my traffic [05:18] why not? [05:18] ssl [05:19] well, yes, google was just an example, even though stealing ssl certs from some websites is not that hard, to make a copy of them. but this is super easy to copy a site with no ssl [05:19] am i right? [05:19] most of ubuntu update servers use no ssl [05:19] for obvious reasons [05:20] I know there are signatures and certs in place [05:20] but still, if someone has the sigs and the keys, they might give you a faulty update [05:20] no? [05:22] YEAP WORKING LIKE A CHARM, thanks Ben64 [05:22] you awesome === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [05:44] http://imgur.com/gallery/F0UCN6D [06:00] If I recall correctly (it's been so long since I've done a fresh install) there is an optional package statistic reporting tool, are the aggregated results of that reporting available anywhere? [06:00] I'm specifically curious about percentages of users on 14.04 vs 16.04 and non-LTS releases [06:01] (which I imagine could be inferred from the package data) [06:03] Ademan: your on a server? [06:43] hi guys [06:43] I am trying to start using ubuntu [06:44] I have a HP laptop and was advised to get a 128gb flash drive and boot the ubuntu from the usb [06:44] someone mentioned that I would need empty "dvd" disk drives or something along with the usb [06:44] any idea what they are talking abou? [06:44] about? [06:46] USB-stick with 128GB capacity. Install Ubuntu on it. Boot from it. [06:46] jink! so I don't need to order anything other than the USB 128GB flash drive? [06:46] Order? [06:47] yes, they told me to order a USB flash drive [06:47] "they" ? [06:47] yes I was trying to get support from some people who already use ubuntu [06:47] but lost communication [06:48] and found this channel [06:48] #ketocaht [06:48] #ketochat [06:48] jink : do I need anything else to install and use ubuntu? === Mittens007 is now known as Mittens [06:49] If you want to try it out, using a USB-stick is a good option. If you want to install it, you can go with USB or DVD, whatever works for you. [06:50] jink: ohhh so I don't need that DVD thing whatever that is [06:50] jink: just use the USB stick for now okay? [06:50] they said something like, without DVD thing I won't be able to boot it proper === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [06:50] I could be wrong tho, I got dced mid convo [06:51] https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/try-ubuntu-before-you-install?_ga=2.76840597.1272931721.1500965406-1304707405.1500965406#0 [06:51] jink <3 thanks a lot [06:52] https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [06:52] jink thanks. [06:53] I don't even know why it's necessary for me to keep windows10, and have two operating systems available [06:53] what is the benefit to that? [06:54] well I guess I can always download ubuntu directly onto my laptop [07:26] hi [07:26] may I ask some help, how to delete an installed theme [07:29] fixed it already by deleting local themes [07:30] jink! [07:30] hmm is imagemagick also installed on ubuntu? [07:30] it seems required by cups [07:30] (print driver stuff I think) [07:30] jink I heard back from them and found out why they ask u to purchase/order DVD disks!!! [07:30] are u there? [07:30] (I'm on lubuntu) [07:31] !info imagemagick [07:31] imagemagick (source: imagemagick): image manipulation programs -- binaries. In component main, is optional.

[07:39] Mittens: Unless you don't know what you're doing, but then maybe Ubuntu isn't for you. [07:40] jink: their reasoning was, because I'm downloading ubuntu onto the flashdrive, I can't burn the ISO on the flash, so I would need dvd cds to burn ISO on it [07:40] mittens try a different USB? [07:40] https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows?_ga=2.76962069.1272931721.1500965406-1304707405.1500965406#0 [07:40] jink: I'm not good with computah stuff, but people gotta start somewhere :S [07:41] Mittens: See that link. [07:41] cfhowlett: hmm, I guess u can, right? [07:42] this is so confusing. one ubuntu channel says I need the dvd cd [07:42] but then this is the main [07:42] shit. [07:44] There is no "THE dvd". You can burn your own. [07:44] Or you can go with USB, and flash it yourself. [07:45] You don't have to buy anything (except for a writable DVD or a USB-stick). === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [08:13] Hi there!

I have changed the cursor size in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and in ~/.Xresources where else would I have to change? I am getting a very large cursor in a few different applications.. one QT application for example. [10:05] Kingsy, only certain cursos sizes are accepted, see this answer of dobey > "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 48" https://askubuntu.com/questions/682641/change-mouse-pointer-size-in-ubuntu-15-04 [10:05] if that does not work, check out the theme installed?? those can be nasty too [10:05] e.g. with unity-tweak-tool [10:06] well I am using openbox [10:06] oerheks: if I use gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 48 it does absolutely nothing.. [10:08] maybe you need to logout/login again to take effect, i have no clue with openbox themes [10:08] oerheks: I am using lxappearance to set the cursor theme.. and I have tried alot of different ones [10:09] oerheks: no luck either. [10:09] let me try one more time [10:11] naa no good [10:11] its just so erratic [10:11] :-( [10:11] now its huge in xfce-terminal [10:11] (I changed the cursor theme in lxappearance) then logged oput and back in again [10:12] huge... 48 is huge indeed [10:14] ok adding 16 to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini fixed xfce-terminal and chrome [10:15] oke, you determined the right config. [10:16] for the user, that is [10:16] well for xfce-terminal and chrome yes [10:16] but phpstorm for exampel is still shwoing a big big cursor [10:16] is there a settings.ini system wide? or another config I don't know about? [10:18] not in the /home/ folders, that would be in /usr/share/themes/ and /usr/share/icons/ [10:19] well those are the actual theme folders.. [10:20] the index.theme files don't contain anything about cursor size [10:20] hi [10:20] they just style the cursor right? [10:23] hmm yes, no settings there in a file, you would need dconf for that [10:24] I checked dconf [10:25] I couldnt see any settings for cursor size on there at all [10:25] unless I am being blind [10:26] nothing under unity of course.. given I am not using unity [10:26] that is where we started with, org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 48 [10:27] but this theme and cursor thing is a mystery to me too [10:27] the cursor size is set to 16 on dconf. [10:27] the cursor theme is wrong... [10:29] ok corrected that but know that isnt going to make a differenc.e [10:29] hehe crazy to spend over a day trying to fix a cursor size [10:29] it's a link [10:30] woops wrong window [10:30] hehe damn I thought we had another chipping in :P [10:30] need all the help I can get at this point [10:42] Hello. Around every six or eight weeks our Ubuntu 16.04 LTS xrdp servers stop listening to port 3389 and no more logins are possible while all the old sessions are still running. [10:43] What could cause this? [10:43] Is there an internal "counter" that overflows after a certain amoutn of logins? [10:43] And how can I "refresh" xrdp without having to destroy all the old sessions? [10:43] old = currently running [10:50] vlt, in the /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini perhaps, tcp_keepalive=[true|false] >> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man5/xrdp.ini.5.html [10:51] one should destroy old sessions, they seem to be not-properly-closed [10:52] swear to god.. hahaha I am going to throw my computer out the windopw :P [10:54] vlt: if there was an internal counter which overflowsand someone here knows about it then it would likely be a known and reported bug in this soiftware, one you could search the web for. you're basically asking whether the unexpected functionality in a specific software is a bug. since you asked this before (i think several times actually?) and no one happened to know about this specific behaviour, it's quiote unlikely you'll rub into someone on [10:54] this linux distribution channel whoo knows this specific software's source code well enough to tell whether its a bug or intended behaviour. [10:54] *rub -> run [10:55] in fact i saw you post this question a couple times, people responded (mentioning your nickname) and you went silent. [10:55] if you specify the port static, you would reuse the old rdp session, it says https://askubuntu.com/questions/133343/how-do-i-set-up-xrdp-session-that-reuses-an-existing-session [10:56] ah,asking in multiple channel, and forget to read [10:56] ubottu, wipe my answer please. [10:56] oerheks: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:59] maybe it'sa cron job ;) [11:02] cfhowlett sorry [11:02] http://i.imgur.com/PPtOJFw.png I mean I see this [11:02] if I remove imagemagick I'm afraid to break stuff [11:05] .aaand vlt went silent [11:06] vlc? [11:06] just use MPlayer [11:06] oh the user [11:10] hi [11:13] Kingsy: I came in after you stated your cursor issue, so I don't know what the actual problem is, but if the box isn't out of the window yet, you could go over https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cursor_themes to check if you missed something [11:16] I also came [11:22] <_8bits> What desktop tweaker are you using guys at the moment? [11:23] * qswz is on lubuntu [11:23] useless to poll, _8bits, unity-tweak-tool for unity, gnome-tweak-tool for gnome3 etc etc [11:23] well I'm off before being molested [11:23] glitsj16: yeah I have been through that wiki a few times. [11:23] cant spot anything I havnt tried [11:23] LxQT is going to be great [11:24] qswz, yes, waiting for 17.10 ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/LXQt [11:25] Kingsy: what cursor theme are you having trouble with? [11:26] glitsj16: all of them [11:26] yep [11:27] glitsj16: so the problem is on certain applications sucjh as keepassx or phpstorm the cursor is massive.. i'd say 3 times as big as it is when hovered over regular windows [11:28] this seems to be regardless of what cursor theme I have set. I am using lxappearance to set the theme (cursor and desktop) and I have openbox as my WM [11:29] Kingsy: have you specified Xcursor.size in ~/.Xresources? [11:30] yes I have Xcursor.size: 16 [11:30] thats the only thing in that file mind [11:31] Kingsy: you'd need to put in the theme you use as well in that file, Xcursor.theme:foo [11:32] Kingsy: use the exact same name you see in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme on the inherits line [11:34] ok done [11:34] I will log out and back ina gain [11:35] glitsj16: ok I think this is the issue. On lxappearance the cursor theme I have selected is called "moblin" however that is not the cursor theme that is applied. [11:36] also the issue still remains. the cursor is huge on certain windows [11:36] so somehow lxappearance isnt actually changing the cursor theme. [11:36] Kingsy: what is set in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme? not 'moblin'? [11:36] surely its not waiting for a cold reboot ? [11:37] it is yes Inherits=moblin [11:37] Kingsy: that would be odd, a re-login should do it [11:37] yeah just did that. [11:37] its so so strange. [11:37] its like I have some serious misconfig somewhere. [11:37] I wish I could just scrap it all and return to default somehow. [11:38] maybe you could, i'm not familiar with lxappearance, no reset to default option? [11:38] no :( [11:40] I also find it strasnge having to do this at all.. I have been using openbox for years and never had this issue [11:41] Can I create an SSH account that can run certain commands only, with no write permissions? [11:41] lxappearance also doesnt seem to be editing /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme its not changing when I change the cursor themem [11:42] Kingsy: do you have a symlink to the moblin theme in ~/.icons/default? [11:42] no index.theme is just a file owned by root. perhaps I should delete it [11:42] see if lxappearance makes one for me [11:43] Kingsy: i'm looking at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=97229 [11:43] mzaza: sure [11:43] mzaza: that's why the execution bit and write bit are different [11:44] oh I lie --> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Mar 7 16:49 index.theme -> /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme [11:45] warri0rr: I have a directory and files owned to user 'ubuntu' I want user 'dummy' to be able to run php artisan commands in the same directory but not write to any files. [11:46] warri0rr: Would you recommend using the default method for jailing SSH user or use Jailkit? [11:46] right I will update that via --> sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme [11:46] Kingsy: i forgot about the alternatives, if it isn't already complex enough lol [11:47] why are there no package contents available at https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/llvm-3.9 ? [11:48] ppf: there are, you need to follow the link at the bottom for your architecture --> list of files [11:50] ppf, always check the updates- part https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/llvm-3.9 [11:50] it will give hte list of files, not the packages itself [11:52] oerheks: thanks! [11:52] glitsj16: tell me about it [11:52] so, essentially, xenial knows the package exists, but only xenial-updates has the contents? [11:55] glitsj16: I fixed it!!!!! [11:56] but I have no idea how...... :S [11:56] haha [11:56] Kingsy: haha, well, make a backup now you have it as you prefer [11:56] ppf, when xenial was released, it used llvm 3.8 iirc, so that is why there are no packageslists there i guess [11:57] Howdy folks [11:57] hello BluesKaj [11:57] that is why you always should look in updates on launchpad [11:57] oerheks: sounds alright [11:58] hi glitsj16 [11:58] glitsj16: I reverted everyhting to core [11:58] so its not running a theme. [11:58] but at least it works [11:58] totally right I will make a backup [11:59] Kingsy: nice catch, incredible how hard cursor themes are, i've had similar issues in other desktop environments [12:00] haha yeah. and also how ANNOYING it is when you have a cursor thats 3 times too big [12:00] :P [12:01] glitsj16: thankyou for your help! [12:02] Kingsy: no trouble, i just happenend to keep you motivated to try without throwing your box on to the pavement :p [12:02] oerheks: Thank you. The tcp_keepalive setting seems to be newer than in current LTS and I don't know exactly what it does. [12:02] haha yujp [12:02] I was on the cerge [12:03] verge* [12:05] tomreyn: Hi! Yes, I asked here a couple of times before. Propably every six to eight weeks when it happened again ;-) I'll try to search the logs for an answer I might have missed. Thank you :-) [12:07] oerheks: What does "one should destroy old sessions" mean? My "old sessions" are sessions people currently work in without problems. Or did you mean TCP session (if there's such a thing)? [12:08] old sessions as in your old session when it broke off without a kill signal. === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [12:09] is this the right place to ask questions about using multistrap for ubuntu? [12:12] necrophcodr, sure, ask wait and see. [12:13] never used it myself, though [12:17] I'm using multistrap with this configuration: https://browse.dgit.debian.org/multistrap.git/tree/examples/trusty.conf?id=debian/2.2.8 [12:18] but it's simply getting stuck on [12:18] Setting up libselinux1:amd64 (2.2.2-1) ... [12:18] Does anyone know how to get past this? Or how to troubleshoot it? [12:18] I'm running it like this: [12:19] fakechroot fakeroot perl multistrap -f multistrap.conf -d . [12:28] selinux is not installed or enabled by default. We use apparmor by default. [12:28] oerheks: But (I think) I don't have any old sessions around everytime that happens. Any idea how to find out? [12:28] but if you want to, you can .. https://askubuntu.com/questions/481293/selinux-implementation-in-ubuntu [12:29] oerheks, i'm not asking for it to be installed either. does debian use selinux by default perhaps? [12:29] it's a dependency that's being pulled somehow. [12:29] necrophcodr, could well be, yes [12:30] vlt, your problem was a xrdp service crashing, not accepting new connections, so it is hard to find out why with such little info, one issue could be ports in use, and hardcoding the port, could fix that [12:31] oerheks: Ah, I see ... thanks! [12:35] it appears that it _does_ have it compiled in and depends upon it by default, even though it isn't enabled. [12:35] i guess i'll have to find a workaround somehow. [12:36] i could've sworn this wasn't a problem a couple months ago though [12:57] how to delete Google Drive Ocamlfuse from my device [12:58] how did you install it? [12:58] tomreyn: Hmmm ... unforunately in my logfiles I can't find a single answer to my xrdp problem I didn't answer. Can you point me to one? I really might have missed that then. [12:59] vlt: i'm not sure whether it logs to., i would check xorg.*.log*, syslog and dmesg at least. [13:00] tomreyn: Oh sorry, I referred to my *irc* logfiles. [13:01] tomreyn: Nothing in xorg.log (as X isn't involved at all here), nothing suspicious in syslog/dmesg or xrdp's sesman.log [13:01] vlt: one of the questions i asked you one of the lprevious times you asked your question is (roughly) "what's in your log files?" [13:02] have you tried to increase logging verbosity / enabling debug logging? [13:06] tomreyn: Not yet. I'll find out where to set that. Thanks! [13:06] apparently xrdp and sesman each have their own logging configurations. you may need to modifiy both [13:06] tomreyn: Is this also you? 2017-06-17 16:34:53 rictaslix vlt: Have you checked your xrdp logs? [13:06] whats the error message when a client tries to connect? can you connect to the srdp server port using netcat still? [13:07] vlt: thats not me [13:08] tomreyn: Ok, then I'm sorry for not having replied to you. (I suspect a netsplit because there's absolutely nothing in my own irc logs.) [13:08] * vlt checks how to increase logging verbosity [13:09] vlt: it is possible that someone else asked what i meant to ask and since you never responded did not actually ask more questions, sorry if that's so, can't find it on irclogs.ubuntu.com using a web search either. [13:12] anyways, looking forwards, the generic approach to find out why some service is not working is: get textual error messages and check the web for any of these, possibly combined with a generic descritption of this issue; check log files; increase log file verbosity, reproduce the issue, check log files; maybe try a newer version; run service through gdb, get backtrace by the time things fail, pass it to the software developers, ask for more [13:12] instructions. [13:13] that's not exactly applicable in all cases, but should usually work [13:13] vlt: ^ [13:15] tomreyn: Looking backwards for a last time: I hope I don't give the impression that I just want to demonstrate how wrong you are ;-) I was just deperately trying to find an answer in the irc logs I might have missed. I really appreciate your help! [13:17] * vlt increases logging (but also fires up standby xrdp servers to take over when this happens again in around six weeks :-D) [13:21]
