[02:04] <moriahnoelle> hello
[02:04] <tsimonq2> Ho
[02:04] <tsimonq2> *Hi
[05:29] <Kamilion> Good news; my ISO boots on an AMD Raven Ridge APU (2200G) to the desktop.
[05:30] <Kamilion> Not bad for 16.04 with 4.13!
[09:16] <sacarde> hi
[09:17] <sacarde> in alternate install Lubuntu, there is a singulare way to configure keyboard
[09:17] <sacarde> by pressing some keys to recognize keyboard
[09:18] <sacarde> is possible to start this in a installed system?
[09:19] <sacarde> something like: dpkg-reconfigure .......
[19:11] <Guest46> Does anybody know how to fix VPN on lubuntu?
[19:12] <wxl> Guest46: works for me. what's wrong?
[19:13] <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 ?
[19:14] <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?
[19:15] <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
[19:16] <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
[19:17] <Guest46> yeah, but to what
[19:17] <wxl> give me the EXACT error and the EXACT content of line 18
[19:18] <Guest46> reneg-sec 432000
[19:19] <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?
[19:20] <wxl> feel free to pull out identifying info. i just want to see the structure of the whole thing
[19:21] <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
[19:23] <wxl> you also might check for weird characters:
[19:23] <wxl> grep -P -n "[^\x00-\x7F]" /path/to/your/file
[19:26] <Guest4653> hey wxl, well there did i go
[19:26] <Guest4653> i tried something that cleary didnt work
[19:28] <Guest4653> Well okay
[19:28] <Guest4653> I have no idea
[19:28] <wxl> ?
[19:28] <Guest4653> Apparently im on the vpn now
[19:29] <Guest4653> No clear idea what fixed it tho
[19:30] <Guest4653> wxl how did u setup vpn?
[19:32] <wxl> in NetworkManager
[19:34] <Guest4653> well it works atleast
[19:36] <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 :)
[19:37] <Guest4653> @wxl well, yeah, but i dont really like it in the end
[19:38] <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?
[19:39] <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
[19:40] <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
[19:43] <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
[19:44] <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
[19:46] <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
[19:49] <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
[19:50] <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
[19:51] <Guest4653> If u rightclick -> VPN connections -> its grey isnt it?
[19:52] <Guest4653> and if i go to edit connections -> create, vpn wasnt there
[19:52] <wxl> one second
[19:54] <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.
[19:55] <Guest4653> hmm, and ur using the 16.0.4 lub?
[19:55] <wxl> yep
[19:55] <Guest4653> well, what
[19:56] <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?
[19:57] <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
[19:58] <wxl> 1s
[19:58] <linguini> wxl: FWIW, I've had many problems with virtualbox.  But I don't see your original complaint.
[19:59] <wxl> linguini: in general, vbox is pretty good, but i'm running some bleeding edge stuff right now.
[20:00] <linguini> Oh yes, I love vbox.  But I've also had many problems with it.
[20:01] <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?
[20:02] <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
[20:03] <redwolf> and do you have the network manager module to manage those connections?
[20:03] <redwolf> it should be shipped though

[20:20] <Guest4653> wxl yah sure u didnt install it?
[21:33] <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
 I have an Acer Aspire E and it works nice. does it crash after booting or it never starts?
 anyways, try pressing shift while booting and choose another kernel, just for trying
[22:14] <blue1> lubot: yes the .28 kernel works just fine - I just nuked all the .32 stuff
 good, I guess newer releases have better support for your graphics card or motherboard
[22:19] <krytarik> blue1: Please see if it's LP bug 1724639.
[22:22] <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
[22:23] <blue1> okay let me see if I can find the work around
[22:24] <krytarik> The "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text" one, to be specific.
[22:26] <blue1> let me search for that b/c I have not found the work around yet
[22:26] <blue1> found it
[22:30] <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"
[22:32] <blue1> it's not in that file either -- okay to just add it at the end?
[22:33] <krytarik> Well yes, if it's not there..
[22:35] <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
[22:36] <krytarik> No problem.  And you are welcome. :)
[22:36] <blue1> okay regenerated the file - and re-installing the updates
[22:48] <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
[22:54] <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
[22:55] <blue1> good catch - no it is not installed
[22:56] <blue1> that got it.
[22:56] <krytarik> Good good. :)
[23:04] <blue1> it works -- just like downtown!
[23:04] <krytarik> !yay
[23:05] <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
[23:10] <hehehe> yes lubuntu is nice
[23:10] <hehehe> very nice
[23:10] <hehehe> who here is into blockchain?
[23:13] <blue1> ah there is no 32 bit skype anymore -- maybe hangouts will work
