[00:02] sup guys [07:46] heloo guys [07:56] how is your experience with the Ubuntu Mate [07:56] ? [08:03] So far so good. [08:04] I did not think anyone used IRC anymore. I used it in 97/98 but hey if it works. :) [08:19] where is my megaimage? [08:26] Good morning, I am a beginner on linux, I am having many troubles installing it on a 64Gb microSD card for Raspberry Pi 3, I installed it from Win 8 using Win32Diskimager and everything works fine at the fisrt start, but after shutdown and restart it is impossible start again. [08:27] I installed Mate on 8Gb without troubles other times. Does Mate have problems with 64Gb microSD? [08:28] you have not to use the ms formatting tool. i had problems on 64GB msd. [08:28] use gparted fat32 [08:29] i used lubuntu on a 64GB msd but i had problems. the card was too slow. [08:29] I've used SDformatter [08:30] i am searching a mega-great image for berryboot again. [08:31] including a wine or virtual-box fast windows. [08:32] sd formatter should be working but i tried gparted gain. [08:32] so my 64GB card worked for berryboot. [08:35] OK thank you i will try it, thank you [08:58] mate|62732: I guess you have followed the instructions here? [09:10] is there a ubuntu mate 17 with desktop? i forgot how to build sth. [09:10] or a ready-to-use windows? windows is just to use in connection with a pc? [09:11] oh these raspis must be old...... [09:13] (11:31:40 πμ) jogi: including a wine or virtual-box fast windows. ==> haha do you mean to run windows on vbox on rpi? That would be like... running it in a 286 :D [09:14] rpi is already 50 times slower than a real pc, to run emulators there... is asking for turtles [09:16] alkisg, nevertheless Achilles couldn't catch the turtle XD [09:16] diogenes_: wasn't that the rabbit/hare? :D [09:17] alkisg, https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/142932/achilles-and-the-tortoise-paradox [09:17] Ah you don't mean aisopos' tales, you mean ...sofisteies I don't know what's that in english [09:18] Yeah ok lame argument, it was disproved from the start :D [09:18] hehe [09:19] I'd love to see windows 10 start in 2 days though, sure! [09:19] I just wouldn't want to be the one to do it; I'd watch it in fast motion in youtube :P [09:24] what is the best DVD-burning software? K3b? .... i could not burn several times on a BD-RE100, just once. [09:25] windows is better, even the old one. [09:25] xfburn did burn multi-session DVDs?! i forgot . Or Brasero? [09:55] hi [09:55] hello word [09:56] could not find medium [12:29] hola === mate|91000 is now known as VirtualBoxMATE [12:30] hola [12:30] MATE is quite cool! [12:30] it is [12:31] Any idea if it supports HiDPI well, since it apparently migrated over to GTK3? [12:41] Ok, so I just tried and MATE works excellently on a HiDPI/Retina display. Awesome! [12:41] awesome [12:42] Only thing I noticed is that there Welcome app looks slightly blurry. Other apps are fine. [12:47] como puedo recuperar la opción de apagado [12:48] !es [12:48] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [14:35] greetings [14:35] hi [14:36] I'm trying to auto start vivaldi not having much luck [14:37] do you have any suggestions? [21:41] hi [21:41] im a relative linux noob [21:41] can someone help me with rdp? [21:41] im not sure what im doing wrong [21:44] anyone? [21:44] im desparate [21:49] sure [21:49] rdp into a windows machine? [21:55] opposite [21:56] windows to ubuntu mate [21:56] oh [21:56] what have you tried already? i would suggest vnc [21:56] when i try vnc [21:56] i get [21:56] the connection was refused by the computer [21:57] from the windows machine [21:57] ok what did you do on the ubuntu machine to set up vnc...? [21:58] one moment [21:59] i believe i installed tightvnc [21:59] i haven't messed with vnc in a LONG time [21:59] but try this: https://snarkybrill.blogspot.com/2016/05/running-vino-vnc-server-on-ubuntu-mate.html [21:59] the commands listed are meant to be run on the ubuntu mate pc, in a mate desktop session [22:00] alright ill work on it [22:00] i mean [22:00] i have a ssh session [22:00] up [22:00] so on some level i can always connect [22:00] do you have console access (keyboard & mouse) at the ubuntu pc? [22:01] yea [22:01] yeah so follow those instructions [22:01] now...to have it be running directly after the PC reboots would be more complicated [22:02] the easiest way would be to setup e.g. lightdm to auto login to the user after a reboot. the instructions i linked should create an autostart entry so the vnc server is run at every login [22:02] alright let me work on it [22:02] so auto login = autostart vnc server [22:06] how do i "run vino preferences" [22:07] im a little confused about this [22:08] maybe system->preferences->*->remote desktop [22:08] not sure which menu [22:14] im lost [22:14] run vino-preferences enable remote access disable confirmation of the access [22:14] idk how to "run vino-prefences" here [22:14] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPQz9n5OLMo [22:15] see the problem im having [22:15] is that the version of ubuntu mate im using [22:15] doesnt have "desktop sharing" [22:15] settitngs [22:15] at least not where ive been able to look [22:15] which version of ubuntu? [22:16] ubuntu 17.10 [22:16] ubuntu mate is the distro? [22:16] do you have a system menu at the top left? [22:16] i have a menu on the top yes [22:17] ah [22:17] yeah maybe it doesnt show in mate [22:18] oh hmm [22:18] yeah [22:18] welcome to my world [22:19] hold on [22:22] yeah of course gnome stripped out the preferences gui in later versions lol [22:22] this is also me [22:22] https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/vino/filelist [22:22] wait [22:23] no they didn't [22:23] https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/amd64/vino/filelist [22:23] they did in 18.04 but you're on 17.10 [22:23] yes? [22:23] can you open a terminal and type: vino-preferences? [22:23] without the ? [22:24] unable to init server: could not connect: connection refused [22:24] ok [22:24] (vino-preferences: 3292): Gtk-warning **: cannot open display: [22:24] in another terminal type /usr/lib/vino/vino-server [22:24] wait [22:24] are you doing this over ssh? [22:24] you need to be in mate desktop [22:25] oh [22:25] ok [22:25] one sec [22:25] there should be a 'Desktop Sharing' or similar entry in the system menu there... [22:25] oh [22:25] sweet [22:25] or just type vino-preferences [22:26] lol [22:26] yeah i see it [22:26] were you checking windows menus or something? [22:26] ok! [22:26] no i was just on ssh trying to do it [22:26] heh [22:26] im a very adept windows user [22:26] but very novice linux user [22:26] m4t | maybe system->preferences->*->remote desktop [22:26] idk how you would look for that over ssh [22:27] its not under the typical menu [22:27] but i see system [22:27] and preferences [22:27] theres 4 submenus [22:27] hardware [22:27] internet and network [22:27] look and feel [22:27] and personal [22:28] ive navigated through each and never found what i was looking for for sharing [22:28] yeah [22:28] you're right. i just installed the 17.10 package. [22:28] so just use vino-preferences from terminal; [22:29] can you copy-paste that link again [22:29] https://snarkybrill.blogspot.com/2016/05/running-vino-vnc-server-on-ubuntu-mate.html [22:31] after running '/usr/lib/vino/vino-server --sm-client-disable [22:31] ' [22:31] i think you should see a new entry under system->preferences->personal->startup applications [22:31] if you run that and scroll === rev_strangehope_ is now known as revstrangehope [22:33] hmm i just ran it [22:33] it seems stuck [22:34] what does [22:34] terminal [22:35] i ctrl-c my way out [22:35] but is it supposed to do that? [22:36] can you be more clear [22:37] e.g. details [22:37] ran the command [22:37] what command [22:37] i ran the command ' /usr/lib/vino/vino-server --sm-client-disable" [22:37] in terminal [22:37] on the machine [22:37] okay. and it stayed running? [22:37] but it did not resovle as other commands usually do [22:37] yeah [22:38] ^C [22:38] thats what i did [22:38] ls -lctr ~/.config/autostart [22:38] is there a new entry at the bottom of the output? [22:38] -rw-r--r-- 1 andrew andrew 784 Apr 22 10:57 ubuntu-mate-welcome.desktop [22:38] which is me [22:40] hrm [22:41] andrew@Ubuntu1:~$ ls -lctr ~/.config/autostart total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 andrew andrew 784 Apr 22 10:57 ubuntu-mate-welcome.desktop [22:41] is the whole string [22:41] is that bad? [22:42] oh nvm [22:42] its using systemd in 17.10 [22:42] heh [22:42] i dont see vino under startup applications [22:42] systemctl --user list-units vino-server.service ? [22:43] 0 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too. To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'. [22:44] maybe try systemctl --user enable vino-server.service [22:44] ndrew@Ubuntu1:~$ systemctl --user enable vino-server.service The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units). This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl. Possible reasons for having this kind of units are: 1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's .wants/ or .requires/ dire [22:44] o [22:45] hmm [22:45] requirement dependency on it. 3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...). 4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some instance name specified. andrew@Ubuntu1:~$ [22:45] try logging out and back in [22:45] see if it starts, i guess its using /etc/xdg/autostart/vino-server.desktop [22:46] idk. i can't test this on my end. [22:46] crono2 will brb then [22:46] you did set it to enabled? [22:46] in vino-preferences? [22:47] AutostartCondition=GSettings org.gnome.Vino enabled [22:47] the autostart checks that... [22:48] ok im back [22:48] how should i test? [22:48] you did set it to enabled in vino-preferences though right? [22:48] yes [22:48] ok [22:48] open up a terminal and 'pgrep -f vino-server' [22:48] does it list a #? [22:49] andrew@Ubuntu1:~$ pgrep -f vino-server andrew@Ubuntu1:~$ [22:49] andrew@Ubuntu1:~$ vino-preferences Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged. (vino-preferences:5263): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion 'text != NULL' failed [22:50] uhm [22:52] that last one was just a precaution [22:52] okay well i have no idea what is keeping it from starting but you can manually add it [22:52] go back to the startup applications preference window, click Add [22:53] for name put: vino-server [22:53] for command put: /usr/lib/vino/vino-server --sm-disable [22:53] then click add [22:53] done [22:53] click close, then logout and back in again [22:53] brb [22:55] im back [22:55] does pgrep -f vino-server show anything now? [22:55] im back [22:55] woops [22:56] 5854 [22:56] ok it's running [22:56] perfect! [22:56] fyi, doing it that way bypasses the preference from vino-preferences [22:56] it might start even if you disable it in vino-preferences [22:56] from the startup apps? [22:56] if that's the case just go back to the startup applications and uncheck the vino-server entry [22:56] yes [22:56] gotcha [22:56] (if you want to disable it) [22:56] im not too worried about it [22:57] at the rate that i image machines [22:57] it wont be an issue [22:57] i guess see if it works [22:57] which vnc client are you using? [22:58] vnc viewer [22:58] connection refused [22:58] heh [22:58] did you set it to listen on all interfaces? [22:58] i set it to lo [22:58] lol [22:58] per the instructions [22:59] lo = localhost = won't work from anywhere except...the pc itself [22:59] oooooooooooooo [22:59] unless you did an ssh forward which will be another complicated setup.. [22:59] i clearly did not [23:00] yeah those instructions said lo for some reason, i guess the guy was intending to use ssh forward [23:00] which is more secure but an additional setup step [23:00] i think if you blank out the interfaces field it should listen * [23:01] suc [23:01] ccess! [23:01] cool [23:01] we did it! [23:01] more accurately [23:01] you did it! [23:02] wow what a pain in the ass [23:02] those instructions say blank password too btw, which you might want to change as well [23:02] and no encryption. hah ;) [23:02] yeah i have one [23:02] ok [23:02] sweet [23:02] now i dont have to get up so much [23:03] basically im trying to get to the point [23:03] where i dont have to be home to use my home stuff [23:03] ie vpn [23:04] baby steps! [23:05] you initially asked about rdp...there's this https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp [23:05] funny it seems like it would've been a heck of a lot easier to setup [23:07] i dont know to use github on a linux machine [23:07] its not the first time its been linked to me [23:07] can you explain? [23:07] way too broad a question. just use apt-get [23:07] apt-get https://github.com/url [23:07] ? [23:08] no...that's the source code. ubuntu ships binary executables derived from source code [23:08] you've got vnc working - stick with that until you're comfortable setting something else up [23:10] will do [23:12] https://github.com/Angristan/OpenVPN-install
