castor_tI am able to ping the server.03:42
flocculantcastor_t: might be this helps https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-beaver-samba-shares.html05:11
novaflocculant, I wonder if the fine people that make Thunar are going to update it to allow it to work with SMB3 since reverting to NT1 might be a security problem.06:26
Unit193Seems to have nothing to do with Thunar...?06:30
Unit193Either have to blame gvfs or samba, and much more likely the latter. :P06:30
novafrom what i could tell samba had to push security forward a little bit, but thunar doesnt work with the newer protocols07:15
novafrom what i could gather07:15
novasomething about specter07:16
novaIt just doesn't seem to me that reversing the change by Samba is wise, if they felt it was necessary.07:17
novayet I did it...07:17
novabut I feel some shame07:17

xubuntu27iHello!18:15
jaltIs there a way to get thunar-archive-plugin to always ask the user which application (file roller, engrampa, xarchiver, ark) to use? It seems that it only asks for it on the first run with multiple choices. Latest Xubuntu 16.04.4 amd64.20:14
jaltA cursory check of https://github.com/xfce-mirror/thunar-archive-plugin/blob/master/thunar-archive-plugin/tap-backend.c revealed no obvious way to achieve what I wanted.20:14

ubuesktopdear team20:39
ubuesktopI'm failing at installing Xubuntu, and hoping to find support here20:40
ubuesktopI've installed the amd64 Iso into several USB sticks, using rufus 3.0 and Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.8.120:41
ubuesktopbut when I boot into the usb stick, the Xubuntu menu appears, I select "install" and get three black "i2c i2c-2:sendbytes: error -110" lines on a white screen20:42
ubuesktopthen nothing happens, at all, even after 30min wait20:42
ubuesktopcan you please suggest some help?20:43
ubuesktopthanks a bunch!!20:43
jalt@ubuesktop: you probably should specify which Xubuntu version (18.04) and target platform (manufactured, model, cpu or chipset) you are having trouble with. Also whether you are booting via BIOS or UEFI. Lastly, try the regular Ubuntu iso and see if the problem is the same. If so, you should probably ask in #ubuntu, as it has more people.20:48
ubuesktopapologies, I am trying to install 18.04 indeed20:50
ubuesktopand will provide HW spec in a sec20:50
ubuesktopcpu is Intel Pentium E2140, Packard Bell GA-T671MG motherboard20:51
ubuesktopBIOS is Si671V14 version from 07/17/2007 (apologies, not sure whether it's UEFI or BIOS, I would need to reboot it to know that, but am using it from Windows right now)20:53
ubuesktop4GB DDR220:53
jaltthe cpu seems to support 64bit, so that should not be the problem. if it's from 2007 probably still BIOS.20:53
ubuesktopright, good to know20:54
ubuesktopI should add that I started up by installing Win7 through a USB boot, so that seems "supported"20:54
jaltumm my rusty french tells me that might be an issue with deprecated/removed SiS drivers for your onboard card: https://www.forum-francophone-linuxmint.fr/viewtopic.php?t=722520:57
jaltstill, i think it ought to default to vesa and carry on a little further into the boot process20:57
ubuesktopI'm actually french, so I'll look into it right now. Although I don't understand the issue / implication as of now...21:00
jaltit might be unrelated, but it was something that popped up when i searched for your motherboard + ubuntu21:00
ubuesktopsorry I don't understand how that's related, the guy is having issues with his display driver, but under a running ubuntu21:02
ubuesktopI'm kind of way behind that :)21:02
jaltagain, i suggest that you try normal ubuntu desktop iso, just to see if it breaks at the same point21:03
jaltalso, if you have a running linux system, i suggest using dd to make the bootable usb out of the iso21:03
jalton windows, rufus should work fine21:03
ubuesktopI am downloading another distro right now, will try indeed21:05
ubuesktopnope, don't have a running linux, that's the issue :)21:05
ubuesktopI've "burnt" the iso onto the USB stick with rufus, with no luck. Although I did not check / know how to set all parameters...21:06
ubuesktop--> allocation unit size?21:07
jalti used rufus about 2~3 years ago and it was really easy, just accept defaults. i guess it has more features now, or maybe boot cds are more picky21:07
ubuesktopthat's what I've done indeed, using defaults21:08
ubuesktopwith no luck :-(21:08
ubuesktopam looking into it again, another setting is whether MBR or GPT should be used: any recommendation?21:09
ubuesktop(sorry, poor translation on my side, the first option was "cluster size")21:10
=== sorinello1 is now known as sorinello
diogenes_ubuesktop, mbr should be used for legacy biods21:10
diogenes_bios*21:10
diogenes_gpt for uefi21:10
ubuesktopright, thks21:10
jaltnot for 18.04, but seems a decent guide: https://kristerholmstrom.wordpress.com/2017/08/27/creating-a-xubuntu-boot-stick-on-windows-10-with-rufus/21:11
jalti'd say to use dd mode and not iso mode, though, just to be safe.21:11
ubuesktopit alos has an option to "add fixes for old BIOses (extra partition,align etc...)" --> would you recommend selecting it?21:11
jaltnot at first21:12
diogenes_ubuesktop, also you could try this piece of software: http://wiki.rosalab.ru/en/images/6/62/RosaImageWriter-2.6.2-win.zip21:12
jaltif you still cannot boot, maybe try again later with those fixes21:12
ubuesktoplooking at the links, thanks chaps21:12
ubuesktoprufus 3.0.1304 does not ask whether "iso" or "dd" though21:13
ubuesktopdiogenes_, are you sure about the rosalab tool? never tried such a (russian) tool...21:15
ubuesktopdoes anyone know whether there's a verbose mode for the install, that would tell me more about potential issues? and this i2c 110 error in particular?21:27
jaltAnswering my own question: thunar-archive-plugin will ask the user to choose the backend for creating a new archive, if and only if, two or more MIME types of the following basket are currently registered to two or more different (supported) backend applications: application/x-compressed-tar,application/x-tar,application/x-zip,application/zip. Sadly engrampa and file roller seem to register them to themselves once run, so there is no simple workaround.22:35
