| tsimonq2 | *Hi | 02:04 |
| Kamilion | Good news; my ISO boots on an AMD Raven Ridge APU (2200G) to the desktop. | 05:29 |
| Kamilion | Not bad for 16.04 with 4.13! | 05:30 |
| sacarde | hi | 09:16 |
| sacarde | in alternate install Lubuntu, there is a singulare way to configure keyboard | 09:17 |
| sacarde | by pressing some keys to recognize keyboard | 09:17 |
| sacarde | is possible to start this in a installed system? | 09:18 |
| sacarde | something like: dpkg-reconfigure ....... | 09:19 |
| Guest46 | Does anybody know how to fix VPN on lubuntu? | 19:11 |
| wxl | Guest46: works for me. what's wrong? | 19:12 |
| Guest46 | wxl well, no idea really, just that the setup wont read my saved conf file | 19:13 |
| Guest46 | but it works in ubuntu srv 16.0.4 | 19:13 |
| wxl | what version of lubuntu are you using, Guest46 ? | 19:13 |
| Guest46 | 16.0.4 | 19:14 |
| wxl | so assuming you use the same tools, it should work the same. i assume you're not using Network-Manager in ubuntu server, eh? | 19:14 |
| Guest46 | When im trying to load a conf file in lubuntu it just gives me , configuration error: invalid 1th argument to 'reneg-sec' where number expected (line 18). | 19:15 |
| wxl | that seems like a pretty clear error..... | 19:15 |
| Guest46 | yeah, but when im trying to fix it, i cant connect to it | 19:15 |
| wxl | how did you "fix it?" | 19:16 |
| wxl | and what's line 18? | 19:16 |
| Guest46 | if u clear it and it will accept my conf, my connection wont go through | 19:16 |
| wxl | i'm sure that removing a configuration option isn't going to go well | 19:16 |
| wxl | most likely your vpn requires it | 19:16 |
| wxl | but you might need to set it correctly | 19:16 |
| Guest46 | yeah, but to what | 19:17 |
| wxl | give me the EXACT error and the EXACT content of line 18 | 19:17 |
| Guest46 | reneg-sec 432000 | 19:18 |
| wxl | i'm not sure if there's an upper end to it | 19:19 |
| wxl | the fact that it says it's expecting a number is strange | 19:19 |
| wxl | can you provide a copy of the file? | 19:19 |
| wxl | feel free to pull out identifying info. i just want to see the structure of the whole thing | 19:20 |
| wxl | one thing you can do is just avoid NetworkManager and do openvpn and networking in general just like how you did on server. i'd be shocked if there were a difference there, but maybe | 19:21 |
| wxl | you also might check for weird characters: | 19:23 |
| wxl | grep -P -n "[^\x00-\x7F]" /path/to/your/file | 19:23 |
| Guest4653 | hey wxl, well there did i go | 19:26 |
| Guest4653 | i tried something that cleary didnt work | 19:26 |
| Guest4653 | Well okay | 19:28 |
| Guest4653 | I have no idea | 19:28 |
| wxl | ? | 19:28 |
| Guest4653 | Apparently im on the vpn now | 19:28 |
| Guest4653 | No clear idea what fixed it tho | 19:29 |
| Guest4653 | wxl how did u setup vpn? | 19:30 |
| wxl | in NetworkManager | 19:32 |
| Guest4653 | well it works atleast | 19:34 |
| wxl | if it didn't work, some random things happened, and then it did work, there's not much that can be done, so yeah, be happy it works :) | 19:36 |
| Guest4653 | @wxl well, yeah, but i dont really like it in the end | 19:37 |
| wxl | that's why you got to keep track of that random stuff | 19:38 |
| wxl | but mine worked right out of the box with no other changes | 19:38 |
| Guest4653 | yeah, but i have been messing with it for a hour and just trying stupid shit | 19:38 |
| wxl | did you remove the line and rewrite it? | 19:38 |
| Guest4653 | and then getting pinged-out from connection to the vpn and faling, then diconnected then connected and it started working | 19:39 |
| Guest4653 | i just removed it entirely | 19:39 |
| Guest4653 | gonna check if i put it back and set it to 0 | 19:39 |
| wxl | could have been some change on the vpn end | 19:39 |
| wxl | but it could have been there were some non-printing characters in there that were causing parsing issues, which a rewrite might have fixed | 19:40 |
| Guest4653 | well putting it to 0 works | 19:43 |
| Guest4653 | atleast the conf file | 19:43 |
| wxl | that just turns it off | 19:43 |
| Guest4653 | yeah | 19:43 |
| wxl | so there's never any renogiation | 19:43 |
| wxl | removing it should set it to 3600s | 19:44 |
| wxl | which means renegotiation every 3600s | 19:44 |
| wxl | you had it set to a monstrous value | 19:44 |
| wxl | admittedly the serve needs to match, too, so you should set it to whatever the server suggests | 19:44 |
| Guest4653 | yeah, will try to chat with em tommorow | 19:46 |
| wxl | if you have further problems, i'd watch the openvpn logging | 19:46 |
| wxl | chances are the problem lies there | 19:46 |
| Guest4653 | wxl yeah,wich networkmanager did u use? | 19:49 |
| Guest4653 | did u just install gnome? | 19:49 |
| wxl | no. it's included with lubuntu | 19:49 |
| Guest4653 | Yeah, but the included would allow me to add a VPN connection | 19:50 |
| wxl | the included is NetworkManager and it certainly does allow it | 19:50 |
| Guest4653 | If u rightclick -> VPN connections -> its grey isnt it? | 19:51 |
| Guest4653 | and if i go to edit connections -> create, vpn wasnt there | 19:52 |
| wxl | one second | 19:52 |
| wxl | ugh my virtualbox is being problematic. not in front of lubuntu currently, but i've set that up on two machines before with no problems. so i guess the short answer is: no. | 19:54 |
| Guest4653 | hmm, and ur using the 16.0.4 lub? | 19:55 |
| wxl | yep | 19:55 |
| Guest4653 | well, what | 19:55 |
| Guest4653 | Now i feel like a reinstallation would be in order, but it was a clean install before also | 19:56 |
| linguini | I just installed and my M.2 SSD isn't detected. What must I do to use the SSD? | 19:56 |
| wxl | linguini: not detected or not mounted? | 19:57 |
| linguini | wxl: Not detected AFAICT. | 19:57 |
| wxl | it's always good to start from a fresh state | 19:57 |
| wxl | linguini: is it showing up in `sudo fdisk -l`? | 19:57 |
| linguini | wxl: Nope | 19:57 |
| wxl | 1s | 19:58 |
| linguini | wxl: FWIW, I've had many problems with virtualbox. But I don't see your original complaint. | 19:58 |
| wxl | linguini: in general, vbox is pretty good, but i'm running some bleeding edge stuff right now. | 19:59 |
| linguini | Oh yes, I love vbox. But I've also had many problems with it. | 20:00 |
| redwolf | Guest4653, what VPN are yu using? the provider, I mean | 20:01 |
| Guest4653 | redwolf ovpn | 20:01 |
| wxl | linguini: can you confirm the BIOS sees that SSD? | 20:01 |
| redwolf | Guest4653, that's the interface. who is giving you that connection? RiseUp? Proton? | 20:01 |
| Guest4653 | redwolf no, its ovpn | 20:02 |
| Guest4653 | not openvpn | 20:02 |
| Guest4653 | ovpn | 20:02 |
| redwolf | ah, sorries | 20:02 |
| Guest4653 | np | 20:02 |
| linguini | wxl: I'll reboot in a bit to check, I guess. | 20:02 |
| Guest4653 | cant know every vpn-provider in the world | 20:02 |
| redwolf | and do you have the network manager module to manage those connections? | 20:03 |
| redwolf | it should be shipped though | 20:03 |

| blue1 | Hi i am having problems with lubuntu on an acer aspire. I installed lubuntu 16.04.3 and that worked fine. the kernel version was 4.x.28. It updated to a 4.x.32 kernel. the .28 kernel works. that .32 kernel displays a garbaged gui | 21:33 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> I have an Acer Aspire E and it works nice. does it crash after booting or it never starts? | 21:34 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> anyways, try pressing shift while booting and choose another kernel, just for trying | 21:34 |
| blue1 | lubot: yes the .28 kernel works just fine - I just nuked all the .32 stuff | 22:14 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> good, I guess newer releases have better support for your graphics card or motherboard | 22:15 |
| krytarik | blue1: Please see if it's LP bug 1724639. | 22:19 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1724639 in openSUSE "Bug in Kernel 4.13 : Intel Mobile Graphics 945 shows 80 % black screen" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1724639 | 22:20 |
| blue1 | krytarik: yup that's it | 22:22 |
| krytarik | Cool, then see the workaround mentioned there. | 22:22 |
| blue1 | except mine is an acer aspire | 22:22 |
| blue1 | okay let me see if I can find the work around | 22:23 |
| krytarik | The "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text" one, to be specific. | 22:24 |
| blue1 | let me search for that b/c I have not found the work around yet | 22:26 |
| blue1 | found it | 22:26 |
| blue1 | okay the gfx_payload is NOT in the file, should I just add it then? | 22:30 |
| blue1 | oh do not edit grub.cfg | 22:30 |
| krytarik | You edit "/etc/default/grub" | 22:30 |
| blue1 | it's not in that file either -- okay to just add it at the end? | 22:32 |
| krytarik | Well yes, if it's not there.. | 22:33 |
| blue1 | kk | 22:35 |
| krytarik | Aha, the comments to the bug report indicate that indeed. | 22:35 |
| blue1 | sorry I don't futz with boottime stuff that often. | 22:35 |
| blue1 | thank you for your patience | 22:35 |
| krytarik | No problem. And you are welcome. :) | 22:36 |
| blue1 | okay regenerated the file - and re-installing the updates | 22:36 |
| blue1 | It says it's up-to-date with the .28 stuff I will wait and try tomorrow -- thank you again. | 22:48 |
| blue1 | not new to linux, just new to lubuntu | 22:48 |
| krytarik | blue1: Is the metapackage "linux-generic-hwe-16.04" still installed? If not, reinstall it: "sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-16.04" | 22:54 |
| blue1 | krytarik: i think so let me ssh in | 22:54 |
| blue1 | good catch - no it is not installed | 22:55 |
| blue1 | that got it. | 22:56 |
| krytarik | Good good. :) | 22:56 |
| blue1 | it works -- just like downtown! | 23:04 |
| krytarik | !yay | 23:04 |
| ubottu | Glad you made it! :-) | 23:04 |
| blue1 | I had never heard of lubuntu till last week -- frankly xubuntu was pretty much taxing the limits of the machine -- this runs very well on this little netbook | 23:05 |
| hehehe | yes lubuntu is nice | 23:10 |
| hehehe | very nice | 23:10 |
| hehehe | who here is into blockchain? | 23:10 |
| blue1 | ah there is no 32 bit skype anymore -- maybe hangouts will work | 23:13 |
