| whateva | hi, my friend asked me if I could install ubuntu on his macbook 3-1. It looks like there's a modified version of 10.10 that works with this model for intel processors, but the link to the iso is dead. I would like to find it and burn it to a dvd if possible. I know this is an ancient version and I'm sure that there will be hardware issues but I can sort that all out, I just want to find the iso and figure out the rest from there. | 00:15 |
| whateva | the page with the dead link is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook3-1/Maverick | 00:16 |
| whateva | or any ubuntu iso that has a high chance of working. I'd prefer to burn it to a DVD but I'll use USB if need be | 00:17 |

| stuck__ | madmangun: I'm not sure of how to do item 1: "Make sure that your PPA is set up." | 02:08 |
| stuck__ | madmangun: Bashing-om had me run `apt policy emacs24` earlier and I believe that showed the PPA | 02:08 |
| stuck__ | madmangun: the wierd thing, is this command shows the conflicting files listed. https://paste.ubuntu.com/25642879/ | 02:09 |

| stuck__ | Oh, wait a minute! `sudo apt-get install emacs24` now stuck me back in the error loop. | 02:18 |
| stuck__ | Seems like `sudo apt-get UPGRADE` is the issue. I dont' think emacs24 is compatible with the latest Ubuntu or something. | 02:19 |
| stuck__ | https://paste.ubuntu.com/25642926/ | 02:19 |
| stuck__ | Dammit. Nope. This "fix" allows apt to be usable again, but upon trying to `apt-get install emacs24` (after removing it), get the same errors | 02:23 |
| madmangun | Not sure how to help you install that package without re-breaking it again. Get back to the point where you can apt-get update && apt-get upgrade cleanly. Then install aptitude with sudo apt-get install aptitude. Re-install emacs24 and run sudo aptitude install -f to see the output. aptitude shows more information. *shakes fist at Ubuntu | 02:23 |

| b0nn | Bashing-om: FTR the apt-get -f install and dpkg --confgure -a solutions don't solve the problem (libc is needing to update, but cannot because the kernel is out of date) | 03:21 |
| madmangun | use sudo iw reg set US and see if that stops the random disconnections. If it does then type gksudo gedit /etc/default/crda and edit the line REGDOMAIN=US and save | 03:21 |
| Bashing-om | b0nn: Got operational head room ( kernel out of date ? show ' df -h ; df -i ' in a pastebin and we start to see what we can do to move forward . | 03:23 |

| madmangun | If you edit the file I listed and set it to US it shouldn't cause any trouble only help from what I read. You'll need to wait it out to see if you have any further disconnects. | 03:29 |

| Bashing-om | b0nn: yeah, we got a prpblem . Mine -> http://termbin.com/dzki . Now where did all your kernels go ? | 03:32 |
| b0nn | hmmm, that could have been an illadvised apt-get auto-remove | 03:35 |

| b0nn | Bashing-om: is it a complete loss? | 03:37 |
| madmangun | can you type sudo apt-get install linux-image-4. and press the tab key to list available linux kernels that can be installed? | 03:37 |
| madmangun | You can re-install linux kernel, headers, etc. We need to know what kernel version you where running before or what we can install | 03:38 |
| Bashing-om | b0nn: Well no . Are you presently on the system in question ? | 03:38 |
| b0nn | Bashing-om: yes, this IRC client is running on it | 03:38 |
| b0nn | # uname -mrs | 03:39 |
| b0nn | Linux 2.6.32-042stab120.20 x86_64 | 03:39 |

| b0nn | Possibly | 03:41 |

| Bashing-om | b0nn: Let;s see what out sources are at this time . show ' cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list ' . | 03:42 |
| madmangun | cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:42 |
| b0nn | Bashing-om: the sources have been edited ( afew times) I think they're set to Xenial atm, for the upgrade) | 03:42 |
| b0nn | lsb_release gives me "No LSB modules are available" | 03:43 |
| Bashing-om | b0nn: OK, still we want to know what all and where we are fetching from . show us the file please . | 03:43 |
| b0nn | Bashing-om: https://bpaste.net/show/2ec2206298ba | 03:44 |
| madmangun | Is this a VPS b0nn? | 03:45 |
| b0nn | madmangun: Yes | 03:46 |
| madmangun | You are not able to upgrade your kernel on a VPS. I believe your on a OpenVZ VPS. | 03:47 |
| madmangun | You would need a KVM based VPS to manage the kernel. | 03:47 |
| Bashing-om | b0nn: madmangun :: Let's take a gentle poke at it ' sudo apt install linux-image-generic ' . What results ? | 03:47 |
| Bashing-om | madmangun: b0nn ^^ so much for my skill set :( | 03:48 |
| b0nn | Bashing-om: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 03:48 |
| madmangun | <- work for a web hosting company :) | 03:48 |
| madmangun | Screams OpenVZ to me | 03:49 |
| * b0nn looks at the plan | 03:51 | |
| b0nn | It does appear to be an OpenVZ VPS (they have both KVM and OpenVZ, so I had to dig a little) | 03:52 |
| madmangun | Happens alot b0nn, You will need to upgrade to a KVM to have control over the kernel. Unfortunately this requires a move to a different server and the data will be lost, you'll need to backup what you would like to copy over to the KVM if you decide to upgrade. | 03:54 |
| madmangun | Any reason why you need control over the kernel? Most cases this is not important. | 03:54 |
| Bashing-om | b0nn: keeping in mind I have nev er run a VPSl we can still try ' sudo apt autoclean ; sudo apt autoremove ; sudo apt clean ; sudo aot update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ; sudo apt -f install ; sudo dpkg --configure -a ; . see what flows out . | 03:55 |
| Bashing-om | sudo apt update ** | 03:56 |
| madmangun | It couldn't hurt. Honestly, unless you are installing software that requires additional kernel modules to be installed it's not something to worry about or upgrade to a KVM b0nn | 03:58 |
| Bashing-om | b0nn: madmangun running a 2,6 kernel - no telling how this is going to go with xenial as the source file , | 04:00 |

| b0nn | Bashing-om: I think that's what's being upgraded, and that's why there's such a major problem | 04:15 |
| Bashing-om | b0nn: Keep in mind I do not know ! never run a VPS. But FYI do ' apt show libc6 ' In a normal install libc6 is required and is the biggy . | 04:18 |

| JFox762 | nope | 05:59 |
| alkisg | JFox762: wait, you're trying to run it as the user | 06:00 |
| alkisg | That's why it doesn't have access | 06:00 |
| alkisg | Same thing happens here; samba runs as a service as root | 06:01 |
| JFox762 | what do you mean | 06:01 |
| alkisg | That it's installed fine, and that you're not supposed to type "samba" | 06:01 |
| JFox762 | ok... | 06:02 |
| JFox762 | so how do i access folders on my windows machine? | 06:02 |

| alkisg | Wait, the folders are on ubuntu or on windows? | 06:02 |
| JFox762 | windows | 06:02 |
| alkisg | Then you don't need samba at all | 06:03 |
| alkisg | You just go to the network places in nautilus | 06:03 |
| alkisg | Samba is for sharing ubuntu folders to windows clients | 06:03 |

| JFox762 | Ubuntu | 06:05 |
| JFox762 | Gnome desktop | 06:05 |

| alkisg | "...enable NBT (NetBIOS over TCP) on the Windows server and try again." | 06:18 |
| JFox762 | Ahh Ok | 06:18 |

| alkisg | Don't use the disk at all until you can find the correct partition table | 06:34 |
| FreakingOut1987 | alkisg, I have testdisk running atm can't find anything | 06:34 |
| alkisg | You just used gdisk, or did you also format partitions wiping the data completely? | 06:35 |
| FreakingOut1987 | I used gdisk only | 06:35 |
| FreakingOut1987 | i'm not very familiar with testdisk either, my original disk was a single filesystem ext4 | 06:35 |
| alkisg | MBR or GPT? | 06:35 |
| FreakingOut1987 | GPT | 06:35 |
| FreakingOut1987 | i used gdisk to create one 2G EFI System and another Linux System that contained the rest of the disk | 06:36 |
| alkisg | It should be able to detect it... testdisk is the best I've seen on that | 06:36 |
| FreakingOut1987 | then I realized my mistake and used gdisk again to make one full partition of linux system | 06:36 |
| alkisg | If you're using it properly and it doesn't... :/ | 06:36 |
| FreakingOut1987 | should I be using Intel/PC, EFI GPT? | 06:36 |
| FreakingOut1987 | its detecting a bunch of Linux Filesystems | 06:36 |

| Alberto | ok i noticed | 10:45 |

| Alberto | terrible sir | 10:45 |
| lundmar | its a basic design flaw in gnome that casuses it, they didn't separate the input processing from the main rendering loop :( | 10:46 |
| lundmar | so now, if you eg. start a video player in gnome/way and mouse the mouse around everything will stall | 10:47 |

| sponge | 'm trying to install kubuntu on an Asus L200HA with win10. It has a 32 GB eMMC (internal), and an a microSDXC memory card slot. When loading the kubuntu installer, it identifies the 32GB eMMC storage (although most of the partitions there are recognized as "unknown"), but it doesn't recognize the microSDXC memory card slot. I tried different cards (sandisk/kingstone). Nothing works. Any ideas? | 17:04 |

| FManTropyx | I presume it powers down immediately | 17:23 |
| ioria | sponge, yes 4.10 | 17:23 |
| sponge | Is it reasonable to assume that 4.10 might support this reader? | 17:24 |
| ducasse | assuming things are always a bad place to start | 17:25 |
| ioria | sponge, maybe not "Kernels 4.8 and 4.9 don't detect them and kernel 4.6.7 doesn't seem to work either" | 17:25 |

| sponge | ioria, trying to install zesty | 17:26 |
| sponge | ioria: So basically, I shouldn't try to install ubuntu on that ASUS machine? | 17:26 |
| ioria | sponge, ok, select 'Try Mode' , open a terminal and run lspci -k | 17:26 |
| ioria | sponge, who knows ... | 17:26 |

| sponge | ioria: It's my friends computer. He's not here right now. When I do get the computer back, what should I try after running lspci - k? | 17:29 |
| ioria | sponge, in order to install a new kernel , you first need a running system ... | 17:30 |
| ioria | sponge, if that reader it's not recognized , maybe you can use an usb adapter | 17:32 |
| sponge | ioria: I was planing on installing the system to that card, since the internal 32gb is mostly occupied by windows10 | 17:33 |
| ioria | sponge, ok, but i think you can use that card also via usb | 17:34 |
| sponge | so install it when it's on a usb, then install latest kernel, then put it back inside the computer? | 17:35 |
| ioria | sponge, that's the idea ? :þ | 17:35 |
| ioria | sponge, btw, never tried | 17:36 |

| sponge | The internal card reader should work faster than a normal usb? | 17:37 |
| ioria | sponge, sure | 17:37 |
| sponge | cool. So it's not pointless to try that | 17:38 |
| ioria | sponge, but i guess you have a 1.44 GHz atom .... so whatever you run ... | 17:38 |
| sponge | Would it be slower than windows 10? | 17:39 |
| ioria | sponge, i can't tell, sy | 17:39 |
| sponge | ok, we'll give it a try anyway | 17:39 |
| sponge | basically, my friend just wants this to try ubuntu. So I might just install it to a USB, let him try it for a while, and than if he decides to delete windows10, install it to the internal 32gb | 17:40 |
| ioria | sponge, yes | 17:40 |
| FManTropyx | welp, now I can't log in to Digital Ocean to boot my VPS again | 17:40 |
| ioria | sponge, consider also Xubuntu as alternative or Budgie | 17:41 |
| sponge | ioria: Why? You think kubuntu will be to much load for such a machine? | 17:42 |
| ioria | sponge, yes | 17:42 |
| sponge | I was under the impression, that if it handles window10, it'll surely handle kubuntu | 17:43 |
| ioria | sponge, you can try | 17:44 |
| sponge | I guess trying to install xubuntu will have the same problem as kubuntu installer had regarding the card reader, right? | 17:46 |
| ioria | sponge, yes | 17:47 |
| sponge | OK, thanks | 17:49 |

| Bajorn | Heyo | 19:13 |
| Bajorn | anybody alive? | 19:13 |
| ikonia | many people | 19:13 |
| oerheks | confirmed | 19:13 |
| Bajorn | I haven't used any kind of linux distro since I was 16 | 19:13 |
| Bajorn | what did I missed? | 19:13 |
| ikonia | try it and find out | 19:13 |
| ioria | depends on your age now | 19:14 |
| Bajorn | Well, I'm 25 now, I'm trying 16.04, unity looks nice, getting some issues as usual, but everything looks more "cool" | 19:15 |
| Bajorn | Perhaps it's just a matter of looks | 19:15 |
| oerheks | unity-tweak-tool can make it more fun | 19:16 |
| ikonia | keep in mind unity is being dropped by ubuntu by default | 19:16 |
| ikonia | so what you see today is probably not something you should get used / depend on | 19:16 |
| Bajorn | Already did, looks even nicer with the arc theme. And back in the day I used quite a lot of gnome, kde and xfce, I can get usted to any of those quickly | 19:17 |
| Bajorn | Still faster and more stable than win10 still | 19:18 |
| ikonia | yawn | 19:18 |
| Bajorn | Anyway, do you guys heard about problems shutting down? | 19:19 |
| Bajorn | when I shut down, the system restarts, lol | 19:19 |
| ikonia | Bajorn: why don't you just state your issue | 19:19 |
| ikonia | Bajorn: how are you shutting down, from the button in the top right of the gui ? | 19:19 |
| Bajorn | Yup | 19:19 |

| cristian_c | hi | 19:19 |
| ioria | that's not good | 19:20 |
| Bajorn | Already moved some configs on grub, and is still the same | 19:20 |
| ikonia | Bajorn: run a test, from a shell, run "sudo shutdown -h now" does it still restart, or does it stop | 19:20 |
| ikonia | moved some configs on grub ??? | 19:20 |
| ikonia | what ? | 19:20 |
| Bajorn | Still restarts | 19:20 |
| cristian_c | I've gotite 9135 dvb chip (with remote control), it uses dvb-afatech9035 driver, and i've typed sudo ir-keytable | 19:20 |
| Bajorn | in /etc/default/grub | 19:20 |
| ikonia | Bajorn: what about it ? | 19:21 |
| cristian_c | ir-keytable and evtest perform successfully keypresses on the remote control. Unfortunately, enabled protocol field is empty and if I try to configure shortcuts in kaffeine, many keys don't work | 19:21 |

| cristian_c | Any ideas? | 19:21 |
| ioria | Bajorn, what's your kernel ? uname -r | 19:21 |
| ikonia | Bajorn: could you please clarify, you seem to be struggling to explain what you've done | 19:21 |
| cristian_c | *protocol | 19:21 |
| Bajorn | when I used irqpoll in the brub_cmd_line_linux_default="quiet splash irqpoll" It just ruined the shutdown on windows too | 19:22 |
| Bajorn | 4.10.0-35-generic | 19:22 |
| ikonia | Bajorn: just run "sudo shutdown -h now" does it still reboot, or does it actually power off | 19:22 |
| Bajorn | Already did with shutdown will try with shutdown -h | 19:23 |
| Bajorn | with shutdown alone it restarts | 19:23 |

| erio | I guess nautilus ? | 21:03 |
| erio | I tried launching nautilus from command line | 21:03 |
| erio | clicking on the desktop file and giving error doesn't print anything on the command line | 21:03 |
| illuminated | what are the perms on your desktop file? | 21:05 |
| === xmetal_ is now known as xmetal | ||
| illuminated | maybe try xdg-open aseperite.desktop or something | 21:06 |
| erio | illuminated the perms are -rwxrwxr-x | 21:06 |
| illuminated | remove x from it | 21:06 |
| erio | The application launcher “Aseprite.desktop” has not been marked as trusted. If you do not know the source of this file, launching it may be unsafe. | 21:07 |
| erio | :( | 21:07 |
| erio | I did chmod -x Aseprite.desktop | 21:07 |
| illuminated | is it in /usr/share/applications? | 21:08 |
| erio | not | 21:08 |
| mguy | I'm getting a cron email from root@myserver, but I can't find the cron that it's running as. where should I look? | 21:08 |
| mguy | I did a crontab -e after running sudo -i but it didn't show anything | 21:08 |
| illuminated | erio try xdg-open your.desktop file | 21:09 |
| erio | it opens on gedit | 21:10 |
| illuminated | hmm | 21:10 |
| erio | I moved the file to ~/.local/share/applications | 21:10 |
| akik | erio: chmod -x removes the x bit | 21:11 |
| illuminated | well man, idk. | 21:11 |
| erio | it's alright | 21:12 |
| illuminated | can you right click a .png file and go to properties | opwn with | and see your program in the list there? | 21:13 |
| erio | let me test.. | 21:13 |
| erio | no, I can't | 21:14 |
| erio | it's not there | 21:14 |
| illuminated | hmm | 21:14 |
| illuminated | it's almost as if there's some sort of application db that needs to be updated to register your new program's associations | 21:15 |
| erio | but | 21:16 |
| erio | Is there a way to just | 21:16 |
| erio | run the desktop file? | 21:16 |
| erio | or print whatever errors it encountered? | 21:16 |
| erio | I am using Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity | 21:16 |
| erio | everything is updated | 21:16 |
| illuminated | idk | 21:17 |
| illuminated | anyway i gotta pick up some meds from the pharmacy before they close. bbl | 21:18 |
| erio | illuminated it's alright, thanks! | 21:20 |
| SimonNL | erio: does this help you in any way ? https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1910493 | 21:26 |
| wook_ | so i configured vino and created a password, and then trying to follow instructions i found when i googled using remmina, i filled in the IP address of the host machine, selected VNC, filled in the password, and whenever i try to connect it gives me the message "unable to connect to VNC server", any suggestions? i'm open to other remote desktop clients, just trying to get this thing working.... | 21:27 |
| erio | SimonNL no, it doesn't :/ | 21:30 |
| SimonNL | sorry I thought it was related to it. | 21:30 |
| glitsj16 | erio: the only commandline launcher for .desktop files I know is exo-open from the exo-utils package.. that said, to debug one of those .desktop files it's easier to execute the command referenced inside on the Exec=... line | 21:32 |
| erio | hey | 21:36 |
| erio | I solved | 21:36 |
| erio | but it's ugly | 21:36 |
| erio | apparently for some reason inside desktop files | 21:37 |
| erio | neither $HOME/ or ~/ works | 21:37 |
| erio | I had to actually type /home/myusername | 21:37 |
| erio | and get this, I had to log out and log in before it worked | 21:37 |
| erio | So thanks SimonNL and illuminated | 21:38 |
| erio | it doesn't make any sense to me... | 21:38 |
| glitsj16 | wook_: is the VNC server running? | 21:39 |
| pavlos | wook_: is there an active firewall blocking ports? | 21:40 |
| geirha | that's because $HOME and ~ are shell syntax, and the programs interpreting xdg-desktop entries do not use shells to evaluate commands | 21:42 |
| wook_ | i'm not sure actually, all the guides i find doesn't mention having to have a VNC server running, they say just run vino, configure it, and ouila! | 21:42 |
| wook_ | i've been poking around remmina, i see one of the options has an incoming connections option, not sure how to fill out the fields though | 21:43 |
| glitsj16 | wook_: have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers yet? If I recall correctly, vino is autostarted via /etc/xdg/autostart/vino-server.desktop.. | 21:45 |
| glitsj16 | or at least it does so in GNOME, not sure if the good old unity session picks that up.. | 21:46 |
| wook_ | i'm actually trying it on xubuntu 16.04, which of course is xfce | 21:47 |
| pavlos | wook_: there should be a /usr/lib/vino/vino-server running on the host | 21:47 |
| wook_ | what's the way to start vino? simply typing /etc/xdg/autostart/vino-server.desktop? or something like /etc/xdg/autostart/vino-server.desktop restart, etc? | 21:48 |
| wook_ | or /etc/xdg/autostart/vino-server.desktop start? (i'm wondering if it has commands like samba) | 21:49 |
| wook_ | i tried running /etc/xdg/autostart/vino-server.desktop, it gave me the message "bash: /etc/xdg/autostart/vino-server.desktop: permission denied" | 21:49 |
| glitsj16 | wook_: you're hitting the same issue as erio did before.. try "/usr/lib/vino/vino-server --sm-disable", which is what that desktop file does inside | 21:51 |
| wook_ | looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers it doesn't give any commands for starting the vino server | 21:51 |
| wook_ | oh, i suppose i should've scrolled up :D but still running into a brick wall for this problem | 21:51 |
| glitsj16 | wook_: indeed, in GNOME it autostarts via the .desktop file.. not sure if xubuntu does that by default | 21:52 |
| wook_ | ah, i ran "/usr/lib/vino/vino-server --sm-disable" and now i see a server running in terminal | 21:52 |
| glitsj16 | progress :) | 21:53 |
| wook_ | in "/usr/lib/vino/vino-server --sm-disable" it lists port 5900, so i tried adding 5900 to the end of my IP address in remmina, but still the same message of "unable to connect to VNC server" | 21:54 |
| wook_ | i tried it with and without the port 5900 added | 21:55 |
| wook_ | i was able to use remmina to connect to my win7 machine and was successful with it, now with ubuntu to ubuntu it's being a pain in the ass | 21:56 |
| glitsj16 | wook_: pavlos hinted at firewall issues, have you tried updating it yet? something like "sudo ufw allow from any to any port 5900" might get things moving | 21:58 |
| wook_ | ran it and it said | 22:00 |
| wook_ | Rules Updated | 22:00 |
| wook_ | Rules Updated (v6) | 22:00 |
| wook_ | and still nothing | 22:00 |
| wook_ | googling it, it seems that xubuntu possibly is the thing making it more difficult than other distros, although i know in theory it shouldn't make a difference what distro i'm using, bash commands should work universally for all ubuntu distros but maybe is that part of my problem? | 22:07 |
| glitsj16 | wook_: http://termbin.com/2rbo has an example .desktop file for vino-server.. I adjusted the last 3 items for xfce.. try saving it as ~/.config/autostart/vino-server.desktop, set permissions as you have on other files in that dir and reboot.. that's about all I can think of right now | 22:07 |
| glitsj16 | wook_: that might be the case yes, I've read a few similar notes websearching around | 22:08 |
| wook_ | reboot? i haven't tried that yet, but i could follow that, right now i'm up for anything to make it work, although it's pretty late for me :P | 22:08 |
| glitsj16 | do you actually have a /etc/xdg/autostart/vino-server.desktop on xubuntu? | 22:08 |
| wook_ | any suggestions for better distros for remote desktop? i'm not a big fan of unity, and my distro of choice actually is ubuntu studio, it's what i've used for the last 5 years, but any other suggestions for it? | 22:09 |
| wook_ | do you actually have a /etc/xdg/autostart/vino-server.desktop on xubuntu? <------ ummmm....i'm not sure actually.... | 22:10 |
| glitsj16 | ubuntu studio is fine, and you can use whatever desktop environment you prefer | 22:10 |
| glitsj16 | wook_: use your system tools to find out.. sudo updatedb && locate vino .. that's one way to check | 22:10 |
| pavlos | wook_: I just enabled Remote Desktop on ubuntu16 and was able to access via remmina from anothr machine. In the vino-preferences, you have sharing both checked, require pw check and notification never. | 22:12 |
| wook_ | glitsj16: i ran "sudo updatedb && locate vino" and /etc/xdg/autostart/vino-server.desktop is at the top of the list | 22:13 |
| glitsj16 | wook_: cat it and put it in a pastebin so we can help .. it might need some editing | 22:14 |
| wook_ | so for using xubuntu vs ubuntu studio, both are xcfe environments, but are there any other big differences regarding vino? | 22:14 |
| glitsj16 | and follow pavlos, I haven't used remote desktop stuff in ages | 22:15 |
| glitsj16 | wook_: no they both carry the same vino package from official ubuntu repos as afar as I know.. but like I said, this is all guessing i'm afraid | 22:16 |
| wook_ | so when u say ubuntu16 is that plain vanilla unity ubuntu? | 22:17 |
| wook_ | i'm open to that, i just really hate unity environment :D | 22:18 |
| wook_ | xcfe is my flavor of choice, i know i should be able to install it on vanilla ubuntu, i've just never done that before | 22:18 |
| pavlos | wook_: you may have to edit using dconf-editor ... org gnome desktop remote access ... unclick require encryption | 22:18 |
| glitsj16 | wook_: we need that paste to confirm if it has the correct format, otherwise it might give you even more trouble when using the .desktop file I posted^^ | 22:18 |
| wook_ | hold on, doing one thing at a time while having my cat bitching at me that he's thirsty but he doesn't want the water in his bowl :D | 22:20 |
| glitsj16 | pavlos: did you have to use that ufw firewall command to get VNC going? I'm having trouble finding info for 16.04 on that | 22:20 |
| glitsj16 | wook_: cats go first, always :p | 22:21 |
| pavlos | glitsj16: nope since I'm not running ufw ... | 22:21 |
| pavlos | glitsj16: high ports should be open (unless specifically ufw blocks them | 22:22 |
| glitsj16 | pavlos: or any other firewall you use? just trying to gather some info so we can guide wook_ along the way | 22:22 |
| pavlos | glitsj16: my steps on ub 16.04 were 1. enable remote desktop, 2. set vino-references, 3. edit with dconf-editor encryption no | 22:23 |
| wook_ | so i copied and pasted what u had written in termbin.com/2rbo to a file and tried to save it as ~/.config/autostart/vino-server.desktop and it gives me the message of "the folder contents could not be displayed" | 22:24 |
| pavlos | glitsj16: started remmina on another box, connect to ip using protocla vnc, enter passwd ... and I see desktop | 22:24 |
| glitsj16 | pavlos: thanks, that's basically what I was going with from http://confoundedtech.blogspot.be/2014/07/enable-xubuntu-remote-desktop-access.html, although that's from 2014 and I didn't want to confuse wook_ | 22:25 |
| wook_ | you may have to edit using dconf-editor ... org gnome desktop remote access ... unclick require encryption <---- could u explain this a little more? | 22:25 |
| pavlos | wook_: sure, sudo apt install dconf-editor | 22:26 |
| glitsj16 | wook_: better follow pavlos, and get vino working before making an autostart file like the one I posted, we can deal with that later, once you get VNC connected | 22:26 |
| wook_ | ok i got that installed | 22:27 |
| pavlos | wook_: then type dconf-editor, you need to travel to >org >gnome >desktop >remote access. On the right pane there should be encryption selected ... unclick it | 22:27 |
| wook_ | require encryption? | 22:28 |
| pavlos | wook_: unclick | 22:28 |
| slee | ho, how can i stream an online stream to other pcs with ubuntu?...so i don't have multiple pcs downloading the same stream eating up bandwidth | 22:28 |
| pavlos | wook_: see the link glitsj16 provided, there is a png of that screen | 22:28 |
| pavlos | wook_: step7 | 22:29 |
| wook_ | ok, rebooting it now | 22:31 |
| wook_ | u know the funny thing is that i'm actually just using xubuntu on a recommendation, when actually xubuntu seems to make everything more complicated for remote desktop, although i'm sure the person giving the recommendation didn't realize i intended for using remote desktop | 22:32 |
| pavlos | wook_: check ps aux | grep vino ... vino server should be running | 22:32 |
| wook_ | so run "$ps aux | grep vino"? | 22:32 |
| pavlos | wook_: at the terminal prompt, ps aux | grep vino | 22:33 |
| pavlos | wook_: ps aux lists all processes, grep subsets for some named vino | 22:33 |
| wook_ | ah, i had to search forever to find the key that has the "|", the laptop is actually my gf's and it's got 2 pains in the ass, it's got all turkish keys printed on it and it's a compact keyboard with keys in different places than a full size keyboard :D | 22:35 |
| de-facto | does ubuntu 17.04 support connecting to Wifi? it never worked for me, even with different drivers/adapters... Maybe network manager is utterly broken? | 22:36 |
| wook_ | pavlos: yes, vino server is running | 22:36 |
| pavlos | wook_: good, go to the remote machine start remmina, protocla vnc, give ip and pw | 22:37 |
| wook_ | now tried connecting from my other ubuntu machine and still "unable to connect to VNC server" | 22:37 |
| pavlos | wook_: protocol* | 22:37 |
| wook_ | and again, i tried it with and without port 5900 and still same results | 22:38 |
| pavlos | wook_: are host and remote on the same subnet? | 22:38 |
| pavlos | wook_: remmina knows if you use VNC protocol, it will use 5900 | 22:39 |
| wook_ | ummmmm...they're both on the same router if that's what you're asking, both right in front of me | 22:39 |
| pavlos | wook_: so their ip's are 192.168.1.100 and .102 | 22:39 |
| pavlos | wook_: example | 22:39 |
| wook_ | yes, like that | 22:39 |
| wook_ | both are "local" | 22:39 |
| wook_ | this is taking so long, and it's 1.40am, and i'm thinking hey, this is a big pain in the ass, maybe just put it away for now and tomarrow start over with a new distro that should be easier to remote desktop D: | 22:40 |
| wook_ | :D | 22:40 |
| pavlos | wook_: from remote, type "nc thehostip 5900" ... you should get RFB 003.007 | 22:40 |
| wook_ | from remote? | 22:41 |
| pavlos | wook_: from remote machine, the other ubuntu box | 22:41 |
| pavlos | wook_: you have a host (running vino) and a remote (truying to access vino | 22:41 |
| pavlos | wook_: if you want to stop, that's ok | 22:42 |
| wook_ | i actually typed what u said and actually nothing happened :D | 22:42 |
| wook_ | looks like this: $nc 192.168.0.26 5900 | 22:42 |
| wook_ | $ | 22:42 |
| pavlos | wook_: nc 192.168.1.102 5900 (replace the ip | 22:42 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | Hello! I'm trying to install a WLAN router on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. But I failed. The device is detected as a USB one. But wlan0 doesn't appear or work on ifconfig. | 22:43 |
| pavlos | wook_: nothing ... that means the vino server is not responding | 22:43 |
| wook_ | ok...apparently xubuntu is not the droids i'm looking for... | 22:43 |
| wook_ | :D | 22:43 |
| wook_ | but u said u got it working with vanilla ubuntu right? | 22:44 |
| pavlos | wook_: yes | 22:44 |
| pavlos | wook_: I dont have xubuntu else I would test it with that | 22:44 |
| wook_ | if i install vanilla ubuntu it should work the same with unity or xcfe right? | 22:45 |
| coldasfucc | Does anyone have any solutions to fix screen tearing? I've tried some things, and while they've reduced some of it, it's still present in an extremely distracting way when scrolling through things. | 22:45 |
| pavlos | wook_: yes, I dont see differences, unity is a DE, xfce is a DE | 22:46 |
| wook_ | i've never used one distro and used it with a different DE | 22:46 |
| wook_ | different than default i mean | 22:46 |
| de-facto | it seems even wifi device names are broken wlx<weird letters> instead of wlan0 | 22:46 |
| de-facto | probably mac address or such | 22:47 |
| oerheks | not broken, it is the new interface naming | 22:47 |
| de-facto | how can i get back wlan0 and have it managed by network manager in a way that is able to connect to a wifi? | 22:47 |
| wook_ | so, the moral of the story is that xubuntu 16.04 really sucks for remote desktop :D | 22:47 |
| wook_ | ok, see u guys tomarrow if i still have more issues, which hopefully i shouldn't if i just work with vanilla ubuntu | 22:48 |
| de-facto | i dont like the new interface naming then, because i cannot remember my mac address | 22:48 |
| de-facto | so i want wlan0 back | 22:48 |
| oerheks | enough howto's on the forums .. | 22:48 |
| pavlos | de-facto: https://askubuntu.com/questions/767786/changing-network-interfaces-name-ubuntu-16-04 | 22:49 |
| glitsj16 | de-facto: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ | 22:49 |
| oerheks | he knows | 22:49 |
| glitsj16 | I'm slow oerheks, as always :p | 22:49 |
| de-facto | thanks rebooting | 22:50 |
| de-facto | ok much better already wlan0 is back | 22:52 |
| de-facto | now i just have to convince network manager to use it to connect: never worked for me on 17.04 before, so i bought new usb wifi adapter, still not working though | 22:53 |
| de-facto | i dont think its driver related but rather a bug in network manager or such | 22:53 |
| de-facto | oh wait its working already | 22:55 |
