[01:43] i did `find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sha256sum > ~/sha256sums` [01:44] libhunspell-1.4-0 [01:45] how do i get this packaged installed on 18.04 [01:45] says unable to locate [01:48] !info libhunspell-1.6-0 | pi0 [01:48] pi0: libhunspell-1.6-0 (source: hunspell): spell checker and morphological analyzer (shared library).

[01:52] oh understood [01:59] shoot i installed a deb and it ws expecting an older lib [02:16] wich packagename has that worspaces switcher on 16.04 again? === Mrokii_ is now known as Mrokii === Kira is now known as k_sze[work] === JanC_ is now known as JanC [03:13] If i a network bridge, br0, with a /29 subnet (5 ip), should I immediately be able to ping the additional 4 ip's from external network? [03:13] how do I install the previous version of Wine? the latest version broke my game. === jost__ is now known as jost [03:13] I'm using this command: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging=3.14.0~bionic [03:14] and I get E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [03:14] it didn't fix it to run sudo apt autoremove [03:14] I don't know what I'm doing. [03:15] because I can't ping the other addresses in the subnet... granted the additional IPs aren't assigned to anything but the bridge is working [03:17] awc737: might want to ask in ##networking [03:17] how ubuntu18.04 can use SSR client ? [03:20] !latest | StupidDanbo [03:20] StupidDanbo: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [03:21] !backports | StupidDanbo [03:21] StupidDanbo, please see my private message [03:22] it's not that old. it's not a previous version of the OS. [03:23] well I have no idea how this helps. [03:25] don't use winehq-staging if you wanted stable [03:26] I don't think the non-staging one works for my game [03:26] I just need what works [03:27] i've been using wine for around 10 years, i've never seen something that works stop working after an update [03:27] i'd suggest heading to #winehq and describing the issue there [03:27] this channel never ceases to amaze me, 2018, and there are still wine users lol [03:27] Stable: Wine 3.0.2 pretty sure that's way too old. [03:27] steam using wine to make more games playable in linux [03:28] I am, but #winehq is kinda slow, so no replies yet. [03:28] well that's the place for wine support [03:28] yeah but a more general question of how to install an older version of software would seem perfectly fine here. [03:29] I don't need Wine support, I need to know how to install a previous version. [03:29] and it's not working [03:29] you're not even getting it from the ubuntu repositories though, so not on topic here [03:30] but I don't even know if I'm doing the right command. that's not a Wine-specific command. [03:31] searching for how to install older versions of Wine got me terrible results. I had to search for sudo apt-get install older version [03:31] I dunno [03:31] I'm retarded. nothing I do ever works. It takes me so long to do the simplest of things. [03:31] It's been an hour so far trying to do this. [03:32] just attempting to reverse the update that totally screwed me over. [03:32] you should be looking how to make it work on the new version [03:33] I have no idea how to do that. It just doesn't launch. The error window never finishes loading details. [03:33] and of course support for specific games in Wine is really slow, so there's no mentions of problems with it yet. [03:34] I play this game all day every day. I can't just NOT play it for a week or two waiting for some comment on winehq's website. [03:34] I shouldn't be on Linux [03:35] what game [03:35] World of Warcraft [03:35] ha [03:35] and I suck at it [03:35] it told you the problem, broken package, fix that first so apt doesn't fall over [03:35] WoW! :) [03:36] StupidDanbo: Dualboot Windows/Linux and only use Windows for "gaming hour" and switch back. [03:36] I don't see where you said that. I've been trying to fix that but found no solution. [03:37] there's gotta be something else going on, wow definitely still works in wine [03:37] It does. [03:37] dpkg --get-selections | grep hold [03:37] in Wine 3.15? [03:38] this did not fix it: dpkg --get-selections | grep hold [03:38] it's data gathering, it's not meant to "fix" it [03:39] The following packages have unmet dependencies: winehq-staging : Depends: wine-staging (= 3.14.0~bionic) [03:40] and do you have wine-staging? [03:40] I need to install Windows first... which means I need to wipe Linux, which means I need to backup my files, which means I need to buy another HD. [03:41] isn't installing wine-staging without a version number just going to install 3.15? [03:41] !info wine-staging | StupidDanbo [03:41] StupidDanbo: Package wine-staging does not exist in bionic [03:43] assuming the package exists in whatever repo you have setup, specify the version you want with the = [03:44] I searched for [sudo apt-get install older version] and found apt-cache showpkg lists all available versions. [03:45] so as a result I'm running: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging=3.14.0~bionic [03:46] oh... what a surprise. without a version number, it installs the latest version, 3.15. without any problems. but when I tell it to install 3.14 it fails. [03:46] I just added the repo and checked on my machine, plenty of packages to choose from: http://dpaste.com/236PJW7 [03:49] StupidDanbo: what's the command you're using, and use a paste service [03:49] a paste service for a command? [03:50] oh, you mean the results? [03:51] https://pastebin.com/aQmzKdcX [03:52] I should have stopped. maybe there could have been a way to undo the update, but I uninstalled Wine before trying to install the older version manually. [03:53] StupidDanbo: dpkg -l '*wine*' [03:56] xar-, https://pastebin.com/cF7xXiKL I installed 3.15. [03:56] my computer needs to restart? [03:57] I don't remember that being there. [03:57] brb\ [03:57] you don't need to restart, but you probably should remove the installed packages [04:01] of course restarting didn't magically make the new Wine version work. T_T [04:02] why would it? [04:03] I don't know. because it wasn't completely finished? this stuff is all magic. [04:03] if you truly desire an older package, remove the existing installed packages, anything with an "ii" in that list you provided [04:05] I don't get it. do I remove wine-staging completely or do I need to remove something else? [04:05] there's no "ii" in the results of dpkg -l '*wine*' [04:05] oh... on the left hand column [04:06] you said you don't want 3.15, so remove everything relating to wine, yes [04:06] that's what I did before. I uninstalled wine, and tried to install 3.14, and it gave me the results of that 1st pastebin. [04:06] not sure why you're fighting me on this, can you just do it? [04:07] how do I do that? [04:07] apt-get remove [04:08] confirm your progress by running another dpkg -l until it's all clear, then I recommend installing aptitude (apt-get install aptitude) which I find to be more resilient in situations like this [04:09] then you'll do something approximating this: aptitude install winehq-staging=3.14.0~bionic wine-staging=3.14.0~bionic wine-staging-amd64=3.14.0~bionic wine-staging-i386=3.14.0~bionic [04:09] huh... that wine-staging-a and wine-staging-i are still installed after removing wine-staging [04:10] because your terminal is too small, the package names are wine-staging-a [04:10] because your terminal is too small, the package names are wine-staging-amd64 and wine-staging-i386 [04:10] apt-get remove wine-staging-amd64 wine-staging-i386 [04:11] there we go [04:11] ok so you see my recommendation on aptitude, do that next [04:11] oh right [04:12] the aptitude install will moan and complain, but it should offer the ability to proceed regardless and resolve dependencies [04:15] once the install completes, rerun dpkg -l, you should see the version you wanted [04:16] wow you're not kidding. do I need to tell it to try harder for every single time above it says "but it is not going to be installed"? it looks like there's dozens of them. [04:16] I hope it's not just stumbling on the same spot. [04:16] just mash the "Y" key, see how far you get [04:17] ok, thanks. I just couldn't tell what it was doing. [04:17] obligatory disclaimer: I know nothing about Wine, I know nothing about this third-party, non-standard repo, I can't be held liable for your box crapping itself or getting hacked [04:18] yeah, no problem [04:28] StupidDanbo: so? [04:28] it's still going [04:35] ~70 lines said "but it is not going to be installed". I dunno how many times I've hit yes so far. [04:35] I'm probably not even half done so far [04:41] I ran the same command on xenial just now, 160 packages, only prompted me twice to continue, odd [04:46] well my whole system ground to a halt and after a few minutes I had to hit the reset button. [04:48] xar-, my system froze and I had to restart. [04:52] do I just try again? [04:56] hello everyone [04:56] I just recently upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 from 16.04 [04:56] I just completed the upgrade [04:56] I was just a bit surprised the screen's orientation changes each time I rotate my laptop [04:56] Is there anything I can do to lock the screen of the laptop to its normal position [05:01] easyOnMe, are you on gnome? there should be a orientation lock in the battery status/wifi/etc dropdown in the upper right corner of your screen. [05:02] or search for "orientation" in the gnome dash works for me too [05:03] ok thanks [05:18] oh crap I think I see why my PC froze the other time. my memory usage is maxed out and my swap is at 50%. why??? [05:19] just from running aptitude install winehq-staging=3.14.0~bionic wine-staging=3.14.0~bionic wine-staging-amd64=3.14.0~bionic wine-staging-i386=3.14.0~bionic [05:19] xar-, why is my memory usage maxed out by running that? [05:20] I can't even see what's using it all. there's nothing in the task manager using it, but it's showing it all being used. [05:21] like I sort by RSS and nothing's using it. hexchat is using 53mb and mousepad 34mb and there's no huge list of small things or anything. [05:22] StupidDanbo: check top or htop [05:23] StupidDanbo: some ram remains used by caches, but these are reclaimed if necessary. [05:23] StupidDanbo: run free for a better understanding of current usage of overall RAM. [05:23] what do I do? I need to fix my game but running that aptitute install command was my only hope. [05:24] and it maxes out my ram and crashes my system [05:24] StupidDanbo: how much ram do you have? [05:24] ryuo, I don't know how to check. [05:24] and I don't remember [05:24] StupidDanbo, open system monitor [05:24] then click system tab [05:24] I have a task manager. but it doesn't say what the total is [05:25] I would be concerned if you have less than 4G... [05:25] Hm. [05:25] StupidDanbo, https://i.imgur.com/Si61OBm.png [05:26] free -m reports I have 16056 total [05:26] no units shown [05:26] 16gb is good [05:27] well my graph just shot up while I was running that command. [05:27] ... how can you be running out of RAM? o.O [05:27] that's rather high. [05:27] huh. [05:28] I was just running this command and hitting Yes over and over again for all ~70 {I'm guessing that amount} entries, which I've never finished. last time it crashed. this time I closed it before it could when I noticed my memory maxed out. [05:28] aptitude install winehq-staging=3.14.0~bionic wine-staging=3.14.0~bionic wine-staging-amd64=3.14.0~bionic wine-staging-i386=3.14.0~bionic [05:28] here's a thought... have you had your RAM tested? [05:29] I just want my game to work again. are you sure that's necessary? [05:29] No idea, but then i've had so many strange issues over the years. [05:29] I broke my game over 3 hours ago and I've been working on it ever since then. [05:29] I see. [05:29] So then perhaps not. [05:29] amixer settings as non-root user? === LabMonkey is now known as Mechanismus [05:31] would that really indicate my RAM is bad? [05:31] I just need to get this working. [05:31] I'm a pathetic subhuman that needs to get back to his useless stupid game. [05:31] No idea, but system crashes aren't always software issues [05:32] Or various other glitches. [05:32] I've had issues that only a BIOS update could fix. [05:32] can I run this command in separate parts instead of all at once? aptitude install winehq-staging=3.14.0~bionic wine-staging=3.14.0~bionic wine-staging-amd64=3.14.0~bionic wine-staging-i386=3.14.0~bionic [05:33] why are you running it with aptitude? [05:33] because it won't install normally. [05:33] I see. [05:33] I'm not a wine expert, but what game is it? [05:33] World of Warcraft [05:34] I was searching for things like how to install older versions, relative to the methods the wine website said to install. [05:34] so wine's website said to run: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging [05:35] I don't know much about it, but i've used playonlinux. [05:35] https://www.playonlinux.com/en/supported_apps-1-0.html [05:35] so I searched [apt-get install older version] or something [05:35] It mentions your game, but no idea if it works. [05:35] the game ran fine before the update. [05:36] I tried to get playonlinux to work before and I think it was a headache. I dunno. [05:36] I don't know if that would really help. especially since I'm running WoW off my SSD and I'm not sure how I would do that for PlayOnLinux [05:37] so I found instructions for installing older versions: sudo apt-get install = [05:37] you could try removing wine and reinstalling. [05:37] with a specific version. [05:37] reinstalling will just give me the latest version. {no, it doesn't work} [05:37] Oh. [05:38] I'm trying to install a specific version. it's failing. [05:38] well, i don't normally need to revert packges so, no wonder... [05:38] so I tried: sudo apt-get install winehq-staging=3.14.0~bionic [05:39] and I got an error, which is why someone told me to use aptitude. [05:39] I got: Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have [05:39] requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable [05:39] distribution that some required packages have not yet been created [05:39] or been moved out of Incoming. [05:39] Does the regular Ubuntu wine not work for you? [05:40] Those tend to stay version locked. [05:40] Only seldomly upgraded. [05:40] "regular Ubuntu wine"? it recently updated to 3.15 and broke. yesterday it was working fine. [05:40] I'm pretty sure it was 3.14 yesterday. [05:40] The following packages have unmet dependencies: winehq-staging : Depends: wine-staging (= 3.14.0~bionic) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [05:41] These [05:41] https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/wine-stable [05:41] https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/wine-development [05:41] when I try to run my game launcher in 3.15 it just has some critical failure or whatever window, and refuses to load the details. [05:42] Not the packages from Wine HQ. [05:42] The official distribution versions. [05:42] yes. stable is too old. staging/devel are 3.15 and won't work. unless somehow devel is different from staging. I'm not sure. [05:42] official? [05:42] WineHQ's are not official ubuntu packages. [05:42] They're a 3rd party source. [05:43] Like PPAs. [05:44] I don't know, but you may have to ask the wine people about it, since they maintain these builds. [05:44] .... Package: wine-development (3.6-1) that sounds pretty old. doesn't sound good. [05:45] I remember something like 3 weeks I spent trying to get my computer's software running. god that was hell. I wonder how long I'll be stuck in this hell. [05:46] https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/pool/main/ [05:46] Hm. [05:46] I suppose you could try removing wine and then installing these deb files directly. === bs is now known as Guest23409 === bs_ is now known as bs [05:46] Though, i'm not an expert on something like this. [05:47] StupidDanbo: for future reference, you can use /etc/apt/preferences.d to pin wine so it won't upgrade. [05:48] that can be useful if your system is that delicate. [05:48] I manually updated. I just... god, I wish I never had to update. [05:48] StupidDanbo: if you pin the packages, you can do regular system upgrades and it'll ignore these packages. [05:48] but WoW updates, so unlike a single player game, I can't just rely on it working forever [05:48] Oh. [05:49] StupidDanbo: that's how it is for many online games. [05:49] it's fine for this version, if I can get the old one working. if. [05:49] StupidDanbo: either way, i'm out of ideas. I just thought i'd show you where to download the deb files from if you wanted to try something else using dpkg. === techmagus_ is now known as techmagus [05:50] why does the official thing only have developing and stable but not staging? [05:51] No idea. Ask Debian upstream. Ubuntu only inherits from them. [05:51] StupidDanbo: we advice not to mess with different package versions [05:51] I NEED MY GAME TO WORK [05:52] I DON'T CARE HOW [05:52] StupidDanbo: to keep your system sane, install 'only' the packages meant specificly for your ubuntu version to avoid dependencie nightmares [05:52] StupidDanbo: please tone down [05:52] IT WAS WORKING FINE YESTERDAY [05:56] is there a way to run this command in separate parts? aptitude install winehq-staging=3.14.0~bionic wine-staging=3.14.0~bionic wine-staging-amd64=3.14.0~bionic wine-staging-i386=3.14.0~bionic [06:00] I don't think this is doing anything. [06:01] why is it not doing anything? [06:01] maybe I need to start at the end instead of the start. [06:01] ok now it's doing something [06:02] all this to play a game that I hate. [06:03] strange how smoothly it's going when I break up that command into separate lines. [06:03] no dozens of prompts to force it [06:05] ... this is ridiculous. a minute ago I'm crying and now suddenly it's all fixed. and I just guessed at how what to do and how. [06:18] can anybody help me im using a laptop and every once in a while when i listen to the music it skips meaning that my audio is choppy can anybody help me? === mar77i_ is now known as mar77i [06:20] Bashing-om: have you ever had somene with this problem? === mar77i is now known as man === beaky1 is now known as beaky === man is now known as Guest11401 [06:21] gt8ost4l: did you try different players? === Guest11401 is now known as mar77i [06:21] lotuspsychje: its the ausio so everything is effected!

[06:23] in the past i've observed poor audio playback to be related to the size of the audio buffer, but that wasn't with digital music files. [06:23] it was with emulator.s [06:25] lotuspsychje: in english? [06:26] gt8ost4l: ah my girlfriend's computer has this issue.. on my computers I solve it by removing pulse and just using alsa, but ubuntu and derivatives won't let me do that.. on hers I had to add some secret option to kernel commandline to shrink the soundcard driver's audio buffer size [06:26] Ah. [06:26] if the buffer is too small or too big you can get audio oddities. makes sense. [06:27] I once had to disable dmix on a really slow device to get good audio playback. [06:28] ryuo: you mean here /etc/pulse/daemon.conf [06:28] ryuo: must have been really slow, I used to play mp3s over network on a cyrix 6x86, and it would only get choppy while I was changing the volume [06:29] Triffid_Hunter: it was a Marvell Dreamplug. It's ARM, so it was slow. [06:29] it crackled before I disabled dmix. [06:29] Too bad that only Debian still supports it. [06:51] Ok recently I noticed that my Ubuntu 18.04 machine loose DNS resolution capabilities on a regular basis [06:51] until I toggle my ethernet card off and on again [06:51] How can I fix this ? any idea ? [06:51] My machine worked flawlessly for age until then [06:52] I'd tcpdump to see what's going on while it's not working [06:53] check /etc/resolv.conf ? [06:53] while DNS is not working, can you still ping ip addresses on the internet like 8.8.8.8 [06:53] my /etc/resolv.conf looks ok [06:53] that too tarzeau, but likely it just says "nameserver 127.0.0.53" [06:54] pointing to 127.0.0.53 as it should [06:54] ha :) [06:54] heh [06:54] 127.0.0.53 is the systemd-resolved stub resolver. [06:55] nighty-: not everyone wants it like that. so it shouldn't always say that [06:55] ok [06:55] frankly I hate systemd [06:55] so nighty- can you answer my question? [06:55] trying to help you [06:55] and I would rather have a good old resolver [06:55] anything but freakin' resolved [06:56] TvL2386, which question was that ? [06:56] 04 08:53:22 < TvL2386> while DNS is not working, can you still ping ip addresses on the internet like 8.8.8.8 [06:56] TvL2386, tcpdump ? [06:57] Ah can I still ping 8.8.8.8 [06:57] I do not know [06:57] I am not using external DNS [06:57] I have my own [06:57] pinging an ip doesn't use dns [06:57] tcpdump is a user on this channel, and get highlighted every time you refer to him [06:57] :) [06:58] nevermind, it does if you do not specify -n [06:58] what I'm trying to find out guys, is whether his internet is dead or DNS dead [06:58] Fine, so specify -n and find out [06:58] TvL2386, net is fine [06:58] I am talking to you over it [06:59] Ae you using Network Manager [07:00] ok: So your questions is: "I have my own DNS recursor which suddenly doesn't work anymore and if I disable/enable my NIC it's resolved again" [07:00] yes on this machine I am [07:00] then I'd still tcpdump to see the normal behaviour and the failing behaviour [07:01] I have got plenty other machines not running Ubuntu [07:01] https://askubuntu.com/questions/907246/how-to-disable-systemd-resolved-in-ubuntu [07:01] who can still resolve fine using that DNS [07:01] while the ubuntu can not [07:01] my other machines are running OpenBSD NetBSD FreeBSD [07:01] `sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -nn port 53` [07:02] and other machines running Ubuntu [07:02] -_- [07:02] same version [07:02] nm [07:02] i'm gone [07:02] who do not seen to have that problem [07:03] Good morning [07:03] Does anybody know if there is a way to make the transition between workspaces smoother? I have a dual system, windows and ubuntu, and in Windows changing workspaces makes a really smooth transition, but in Ubuntu it does now. Dont get me wrong, it changes without a problem, but it is not as smooth as it could be, and I was wondering if i am missing something. [07:03] I already have installed the propietary drivers (Do i need to restart?) [07:04] TvL2386, at the moment everything is resolving fine ( looking at the tcpdump ) [07:04] oh well I'll look for the solution myself [07:04] dbugger: after installing gpu drivers yes you do need to reboot [07:05] I just thought people here would instantly know what it was because seen before [07:05] no biggy [07:05] thanks guys anyway [07:05] nighty-: https://blobfolio.com/2017/05/fix-linux-dns-issues-caused-by-systemd-resolved/ [07:05] Ben64, thanks, i will do so [07:05] nighty-, see the note at the bottom for ubuntu [07:06] dnssec-trigger ? [07:06] I have not tried that [07:06] nighty-: I'm not here for a laid back conversation... I'm occassionally checking here to see if I can help ppl... And "looking for the solution yourself" is step 1. Step 2 is asking for help... You're wasting my time if you have not even looked for a solution yet... [07:07] TvL2386, dude chill [07:07] TvL2386, I am not saying you did not help [07:07] TvL2386, reread what I wrote === SynchronE is now known as aleks_bogdanov [07:46] hello, I've question, how to restrict folder on ubuntu so only added group that's allowed to access and show the file. Thanks [07:47] ben__: you can change the owner, group, and permissions to limit access to a folder and its contents. [07:47] ryuo: Ok. I'm the owner, but I want my folder be accessed by www-data ony [07:48] ben__: http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_lts0090.php [07:48] ben__: no access for the owner? [07:48] you have owner and group to play with, use that site to figure out the way you want to do it [07:48] ryuo: I've, I just don't want other user could read it [07:49] Ok... you probably want to use chgrp and chmod. [07:49] chmod 0770 [07:49] chgrp www-data [07:50] ben__: but for future reference, you should learn how to use these yourself. === vali is now known as servergeek [07:53] ryuo: thanks, I read link that Ben64 shared. :) [08:15] hows the package called on 16.04 to switch workspaces? === jluc_ is now known as JLuc [08:27] How do I go from 18.04 to 18.04.1 [08:27] leonardus: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade [08:28] Thanks === servergeek is now known as valentin === Richard is now known as Guest97781 === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [09:30] How do I set a reminder? === semeion is now known as mnemonic [09:34] leonardus: install some application which can handle reminders, or setup an at or cron job triggering an on-screen notification (involves some scripting). [09:34] tomreyn: any recommendations for applications? [09:35] what do you use for managing e-mail currently? [09:35] Just gmail web. [09:36] google calendar is somewhat integrated with gmail and can be used to set reminders. [09:37] if you'd prefer to do it locally, (optionally) not storing (sharing) the data in the cloud, you could use lightning === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [09:40] tomreyn: Roundcube [09:40] blackflow: requires a server installation, i guess? [09:40] tomreyn: oh hahaha... sorry, totally misread both your q and the chan :) [09:41] tomreyn: yeah. I thought this was -discuss and you asked in general. need moar coffee.... [09:41] leonardus is asking ;) [09:41] leonardus, you might want to try out kubuntu, if you're more of a windows person. there you have KAlarm which is nicely integrated into desktop [09:42] leonardus: ig uess the gnome tooling for calendaring is "evolution", providing integration into the gnome shell [09:43] yeah I use android devices for that, and with that, gmail email client (even for non-gmail addresses) and calendar. [09:43] those could be used on any device via the web, afaik. [09:43] tomreyn, that's a good option aswell [09:44] leonardus, it's not a straight answer.. there are lots of options on linux based systems. [09:45] https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/California [09:45] This is a new calendar application for Gnome 3 [09:45] so this can be a good choice for 18.04 [09:47] hmm not packaged for ubuntu, though, weird [09:47] tomreyn, that's all well and good.. but the version is 0.4.0 .. [09:47] well, if it works... [09:50] https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Calendar is part of 18.04 [09:50] true.. many programs never make it to 1.x, yet they work fine [09:52] so for s stand-alone calendar app on ubuntu 18.04, gnome calendar looks like a good choice. it provides all the basic features. [09:54] hello [09:55] (optionally recurring) reminders, desktop integration (calendar events also show on the mini calendar when you click on the clock), synchronization against nextcloud, google, ms exchange.
