[00:09] <cantmount> Hello. I recently installed Xubuntu core 18.04. My android device won't mount. What do I need to do for the device to be mountable?
[00:10] <cantmount> Is it not mountable because I used the minimal iso (need a driver)?
[00:12] <Unit193> Do you have gvfs-backends installed?
[00:12] <cantmount> how do i check
[00:13] <Unit193> apt-cache policy gvfs-backends
[00:13] <cantmount> Unit193 says: "installed: none"
[00:14] <Unit193> See also https://docs.xubuntu.org/1804/user/C/appendix-packages.html#background
[00:14] <Unit193> cantmount: I'd install that.
[00:14] <cantmount> should that fix my problem?
[00:15] <Unit193> Contains mtp, so should.  Might need gvfs-fuse if you don't already have it.
[00:16] <cantmount> So this is the "Git Virtual File System"
[00:16] <Unit193> Git?  No.  GNOME.
[00:17] <cantmount> ok
[00:18] <cantmount> wouldn't it be easier to just install mtp directly?
[00:18] <cantmount> doesn't seem to have worked after installing gvf-backends
[00:20] <cantmount> nothing is popping up in thunar
[00:25] <Unit193> Did you install the -fuse extension too?  And you'll want to quit the thunar daemon too.
[00:31] <cantmount> unit193: yes I did
[00:32] <Unit193> cantmount: So after quitting the daemon, opening thunar again, then plugging in your phone it doesn't pop up?
[00:32] <cantmount> unit193: yeah no luck. I have my device set to MIDI too
[00:33] <Spass> btw, this should be updated - https://docs.xubuntu.org/1804/user/C/appendix-packages.html (Document Viewer, Calculator, Theme Configuration)
[00:33] <Unit193> Spass: Correct.
[00:38] <cantmount> unit193: any other suggestions?
[00:38] <Unit193> cantmount: gvfs-backends+gvfs-fuse is what allows one to mount mtp devices via fuse, sooo..
[00:39] <cantmount> I guess I'll try rebooting
[00:41] <cantmount> thanks for help anyway though, appreciate it
[02:22] <jalt> Hi, how can I script (bash) adding and configuring the xfce4-genmon-plugin to the panel? A manual setup revealed that it gets assigned a (sequential?) id, such that xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /plugins -lv shows "/plugins/plugin-9 genmon", and I can find its (genmon) config in ~/.config/xfce4/config/genmon-9.rc. I am unsure how to use xfce4-panel --add= because it always returns 0 (success) regardless of what name I pass, including gibberish. What I specifical

[05:12] <Andrio> As long as it's not a USB bomb.
[05:12] <Unit193> What an odd fella.
[05:33] <jalt> Hi, can anyone confirm that running "xfce4-panel --add=foobar" (where foobar is anything but a valid plugin name) results in no output and exit status 0? Because that is what I get on latest Xubuntu 16.04.4.
[06:02] <Unit193> jalt: Confirmed.
[06:03] <jalt> Thanks Unit193. I will file a bug tomorrow, too tired to write coherently right now...
[06:04] <Unit193> I'm running the 4.12 series though, not 4.13
[06:05] <jalt> right, 4.12 is what comes with xenial
[06:08] <uselessnoob> hi
[06:08] <Unit193> I'm on Bionic, jalt.  FWIW.
[06:08] <Unit193> uselessnoob: Howdy.
[06:09] <uselessnoob>  i have installed ubuntu on a usb disk (not live usb) it worked fine last night but when i want to use on my desktop pc after selecting ubuntu in gru it says cannot find boot partition
 guiverc, i run latest ubuntu
[06:09] <uselessnoob> but when i connect it to my laptop its just shows me an error and after i click on a key it boots into xubuntu normally
[06:10] <uselessnoob> so grub tries to look for another OSs like when i connect my usb stick into another pc grub thinks there is windows 10 installed in there but in fact there is no windows 10
[06:11] <uselessnoob> Unit193, can u help me?

[06:12] <Unit193> I see you're currently getting help in #ubuntu.  I'll leave that there so as to not confuse the matters.
[06:13] <uselessnoob> nope they say they cant help me
[06:13] <uselessnoob> and i dont wanna use hacking methods
[06:14] <uselessnoob> i thought since ive installed xubuntu and not ubuntu maybe its better to ask in here
[06:15] <Unit193> It's not Xfce specific, so either there or here would do.  At this time of night you're not the most likely to find someone active, so perhaps the larger channel would be better.
[06:16] <uselessnoob> oh well its not night in here
[06:16] <uselessnoob> its 10:45 am in my country lol
[06:17] <Unit193> :)
[06:17] <uselessnoob> Unit193, i just wanna make sure that there is a way to fix this problem (not hacking)
[06:18] <Unit193> USB installs are usually a bit finicky, I only have done live or persistent USBs.
[06:19] <uselessnoob> this isnt live.
[08:25] <gnarlfox> i'm having an issue getting sel4 to run on qemu
[08:26] <gnarlfox> i haven't messed around with linux in a long time so i'm just following directions from the l4 website
[08:26] <gnarlfox> seL4*
[08:28] <gnarlfox> this link in particular: https://docs.sel4.systems/Hardware/Qemu/
[08:28] <well_laid_lawn> what is seL4 ?
[08:28] <gnarlfox> i can't get past the "make part"
[08:28] <gnarlfox> seL4 is an os with a microkernel
[08:29] <well_laid_lawn> k
[08:29] <well_laid_lawn> what make issue are you experiencing ?
[08:31] <gnarlfox> root@doc-desktop:/home/doc/test_default/test_default/test_default/camkes_vm/build_vm# make clean
[08:31] <gnarlfox> make: *** No rule to make target 'clean'.  Stop.
[08:31] <gnarlfox> root@doc-desktop:/home/doc/test_default/test_default/test_default/camkes_vm/build_vm# cd test_default
[08:31] <gnarlfox> bash: cd: test_default: No such file or directory
[08:32] <well_laid_lawn> from that link it seems you missed a few steps
[08:33] <gnarlfox> repo sync seems to work
[08:33] <gnarlfox> but i'm not sure what to do next
[08:33] <gnarlfox> make clean seems like the next step
[08:33] <gnarlfox> but i'm not sure what that means
[08:33] <well_laid_lawn> you didn't make a dir and change to it before the repo sync it seems
[08:34] <well_laid_lawn> the first box in the compilation section
[08:35] <gnarlfox> i just checked, and it looks like i have test_default inside test_default
[08:35] <gnarlfox> think that could be an issue?
[08:35] <well_laid_lawn> I'd remove those and start again
[08:36] <gnarlfox> okay, i'll give it a try
[08:36] <well_laid_lawn> luck
[08:36] <gnarlfox> thanks
[08:36] <gnarlfox> do you think it's fine do delete test_default
[08:36] <gnarlfox> i've got a few things in it
[08:37] <gnarlfox> seems like it wouldn't since it's labeled as test, but i'm not ure
[08:37] <gnarlfox> sure*
[08:37] <well_laid_lawn> you can make a dir with a different name
[08:37] <well_laid_lawn> the directory name shouldn't be important
[08:37] <gnarlfox> okay
[08:59] <gnarlfox> anything seem wrong with this?

[08:59] <gnarlfox> qemu-system-x86_64: -kernel-ia32-pc99: invalid option
[09:00] <gnarlfox> -smp 3 is how many cpu's i'm giving
[09:00] <gnarlfox> i have a 4 core i5
[09:00] <gnarlfox> and i've got 16gb of ram for -m 10000
[09:04] <gnarlfox> maybe i should check if Vt-x is enabled in my UEFI
[09:56] <gnarlfox> looks like i just needed a absolute ton of dependencies, then i'll try again
[15:59] <kimmok> Hi, Can some experienced guru tell when would it be good time to upgrade 16.04 to 18.04?
[16:07] <knome> you're notified of the LTS->LTS upgrade once the first point release it out. that's not a bad time.
[16:10] <kimmok> Ok.. I red from some old LTS release that it would come few weeks after first full release, but I haven't got any info about that so thats why I asked
[16:17] <knome> a few weeks from now
[16:30] <kimmok> roger that
[21:09] <xubuntu50d> Всем привет! Как установить Skype на Xubuntu? Спасибо!
[21:13] <Spass> xubuntu50d, what version of Xubuntu? 18.04? you can install Skype as a snap package from the gnome-software
[21:14] <Spass> ...or you can download DEB package from the Skype's official website
[21:18] <xubuntu50d> Xubuntu 16.04
[21:19] <xubuntu50d> Thank You!!!
[21:23] <Spass> Hmm, I don't remember if 16.04 has snaps enabled by default, but you can try to just search for "skype" in the gnome-software, or try with that DEB package from skype.com (I think it's only for 64-bit)
[21:26] <xubuntu50d> Ок. Thanks!
[21:27] <Spass> sure, no problem
