[00:01] under partams for starting ubuntu, i don't see quiet splash, or either word of it anywhere [00:02] Where you looking? It should be at the end toward the linux /boot/vmlinuz line [00:03] op, there I see it [00:03] my bad [00:06] hmm, I think it's hung up with a black screen [00:06] pragmaticenigma, only open amd drivers were installed, not commercial [00:09] I fixed my opengl crawling. [00:09] I've noticed (tried with glxgears), that moving from one monitor to another had different fps. [00:10] I'd try to do the nomodeset boot CrazyLikeAFox [00:10] Graphics drivers probably broke on the update [00:11] screen flickered some color, went off, came back up black, now it's showing a black screen with a non-blinking cursor at the upper left corner [00:11] terminal type cursor that it [00:11] ad nomodeset to the options? [00:12] I.e., I have 2 Radeon cards (different models) - Oland XT [Radeon HD 8670 / R7 250/350] and RV710 [Radeon HD 4350/4550] [00:12] with 3 monitors [00:12] for some conext on my hardware, dell inspiron laptop with all amd/radeon hipsets [00:12] *context [00:12] Yeah on the same line as the quiet splash just add nomodeset [00:13] monitors, connected to one card was crawling and to another card was fast. [00:13] If it lets you boot, reinstall your GPU drivers [00:14] Strange thing, After I've changed the default monitor in monitors settings, all of the monitors started working fast, I just had to replug the monitors to different outputs, so that my menu stays on the left side. [00:14] oh yes, that booted to my login page/first workspace's wallpaper [00:15] I presume nomodeset is one of recovery mode's options? [00:16] It just lets you boot with default vga drivers kind of like the livecd does [00:17] I'm surprised it drove the screen at the correct resolution the entire time [00:17] nouveau drivers are acting weird: the first monitor is 640x480 and I can't open Displays (in system settings) [00:17] guess the default drivers are getting way smarter [00:19] sayo-, after I upgraded to 18.04, I couldn't open desktop other, then OpenBox, the only thing, that has solved my problem is removing nvidia* drivers, that for some reason got installed during upgrade, while I don't have any nvidia graphics. [00:19] sayo-, check, if you have some nvidia* drivers installed [00:20] that is if you have radeon card, of course [00:21] so, completely remove xserver-xorg-video-(amdgpu, ati, radeon), then reinstall them? [00:21] igoryonya: I have an nvidia card, but I can't install the drivers because of some weird conflicts in the package manager, so I removed all the nvidia packages and I switched to nouveau [00:21] my card is an NVS 510 [00:22] I don't know anything about AMD drivers but it sounds good [00:22] sayo-, I see, what kinds of conflict did you have in package manager? [00:23] because, I always have conflicts in package manager after upgrading. [00:23] one sec, Ill show ya [00:23] that I keep resolving, before doing anything else. [00:24] igoryonya: https://pastebin.com/rmS9Yt51 these are the errors, a few mismatch [00:25] I try to install 396 but it clashes with nvidia 340 [00:25] mitmatch on packages or whatever [00:25] graphics redone I think, reboot time [00:26] I'm not gonna touch it, and see what it does === mouses_ is now known as mouses [00:27] x, did the fsck with splash behind it, flashed a screen covered in lines of text, went back to the one with the cursor in the corner and hung again [00:28] it didn't do the text thing last time, maybe turning the quiet off will do something [00:28] sayo- Resolving package installation problems is a step by step handwork [00:28] sayo-, did you try to remove 340? [00:28] igoryonya: I had to remove all nvidia-* by hand using dpkg [00:29] Did you remove or purge those drivers? [00:30] sayo- did you try to do: sudo apt remove nvidia-340* ? [00:30] it didn't stop on a screen with anything or show any sort of text.. [00:30] You usually have to reboot between reinstalling too, at least I have to with nvidia drivers [00:30] xamithan: purged, dpkg -P [00:31] xamithan, it's better not to reboot, while resolving package issues. [00:31] K, I didn't suceed in reinstalling drivers [00:31] igoryonya: yep, but apt-get wouldn't work, it just complained that there were a problem in the package tree because there were unmet dependencies (again with NVIDIA)\ [00:31] sayo- can you show me that complain? [00:31] Either something corrupt stuck behind, or I didn't even touch the right stuff [00:31] nope, I didn't save that log [00:32] there will always be complains, while resolving package issues, until you fix everything. [00:32] Are you able to do it now? [00:32] sayo- [00:32] is there any way to get all the drivers/graphical packages back to default? [00:32] apt-get is working now that I purged everything by hand using dpkg [00:33] like getting ubuntu back to a clean install except for the settings [00:33] sayo- first thing first: you need to resolve your package issues, before you do anything with graphics. [00:33] currently the package system is working [00:33] It's possible, that after you resolve your package issues, your graphics issues will go away. [00:34] sayo-, so if you try to install 396, it doesn't complain any more? [00:34] it does complain [00:34] it's the esame rror I showed you before [00:35] so, try to: sudo apt remove nvidia-340* [00:35] and show me the results. [00:36] igoryonya: https://pastebin.com/gMNv5ETr [00:39] sayo-, can you show me this: ls -lhd '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.distrib' [00:40] and: ls -lhd '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1' [00:40] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jun 5 09:16 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.distrib -> libGL.so.1.0.0 [00:40] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Sep 9 06:21 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.0 [00:41] what are you trying to figure out with this? whether sudo should have enough permision to overwrite these conflicting files ? [00:41] OK, I see. The package manager thinks, that 340 is not installed, but some files from 340 still exist on the drive. [00:42] Anybody familiar with radeon drivers? [00:42] igoryonya: interesting [00:42] do this: sudo mv -vi '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1' '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.bkp' [00:42] Not since they moved off fglrx =) [00:43] and: sudo mv -vi '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.distrib' '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.distrib.bkp' [00:43] xamithan, it's a step by step process to resolve package issues. [00:43] sayo-, tell me, when you rename them. [00:43] Why do you keep tagging me for no reason ? [00:44] igoryonya: done [00:44] xamithan, I thought, you were talking to me [00:45] sayo-, now try to install 396 [00:45] sudo apt install nvidia-driver-396 [00:46] I hope it works cause purging the packages one by one is a PIA :D [00:46] no need to reboot or anything before? also, can we check whether there are other remaining files? [00:46] sayo-, no [00:47] okay, fingers crossed [00:47] if there are some remaining files, the installation will tell us [00:47] also, why apt install instead of apt-get? [00:47] not only don't need to reboot, you must not reboot, until resolve package issues. [00:48] apt-get is the non-user friendly command that doesn't give you progress bars and things [00:48] sayo-, I am used to apt already. it's pretty much a newer version of apt-get, but you can do apt-get, if youwant to. === coffeeguy is now known as zenguy [00:49] I'm happy with both of them, thanks for the clarification though igoryonya xamithan [00:49] also I like the fancy bar [00:49] anyway more errors [00:50] sayo-, give them to me [00:50] brb pastebin [00:50] https://pastebin.com/DMKZBZv9 [00:50] same files same errors I think? [00:51] Ye, looks like the same error. [00:52] OK, then, rename those files back to the way they were before, i.e. remove .bak from those 2 files. [00:52] then: sudo apt install nvidia-340 [00:52] it installed all the other packages though, it'd be better if it didn't install anything since some part of it failed [00:52] ok [00:53] sayo-, when you install nvidia-340, it says that it has to install a lot of other things? [00:54] igoryonya: it just starts complaning about unmet dependencies https://pastebin.com/2W7UKERF [00:55] you ran nvidia-340? [00:55] yup [00:55] sudo apt install nvidia-340 [00:55] try: sudo apt --fix-broken install [00:56] igoryonya: https://pastebin.com/Dd0Pwk50 it keeps whining about these files [00:57] igoryonya: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1035409/installing-nvidia-drivers-on-18-04 [00:57] do you think that is worth trying? [00:57] It's ok, we are trying to resolve it step by step, I'll get some coffe and get back to you === BgLamersTeam is now known as Dreaman [00:59] hm, it gives the same error. [01:01] igoryonya: one sec, it seems something is happening here [01:03] Ye, that link is on askubuntu is on track. [01:03] sayo-, what's happening? [01:04] Im trying the suggestion in askubuntu and it seems package manager is back alive [01:05] sayo-, so --fix-broken worked? [01:05] after running that FOR loop that removes everything, --fix-broken worked [01:06] it seems like sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390 worked [01:06] Did you already try to install 396, or --fix-broken installed it? [01:06] it's about tpo work, it's 91% [01:06] cool [01:06] 99% almost there, hold on [01:07] seems it worked, I'll reboot [01:07] brb [01:08] OK, try, but I'd do 'sudo apt upgrade' first (before rebooting), so it would install all the rest of packages, that didn't installed, because of an error. [01:08] igoryonya: it worked !!!!!! finally [01:09] it seems that the key was to remove all those files, the for loop took care of everything [01:09] sayo-, congratulations :) [01:09] after that, you just purge and autoremove and install the drivers again [01:09] reboot and done! [01:09] thank you igoryonya for troubleshooting this with me ^_^ [01:09] now, time to leave, this stuff kept me here with the computer [01:09] have a good night igoryonya o/ [01:10] sayo-, not only removing, there was also editing in some file going on, because, we, by doing mv, also pretty much removed them from the system, but it wouldn't help. [01:12] sayo-, you are welcome. I know, how painfull it is, when something didn't get installed all the way and packages got broken. [01:15] Hi guys. I have modeled a 32 bit computer (no joke, see vids: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpXJ4YQjSkt5EWqJIXcYN9w) with logisim, and have a compiler for pseudo-assembler code (and assy compiler written in Java that parses my pseudo-assy and outputs hex, in order to load it on the schematic RAM, and run it). [01:17] I was thinking on a forward step and I think it could be a good idea to write a C compiler. ATM I've tried antlr for parsing C/C++ code, but I consider now to port an existing compiler like gcc. [01:19] I don't think you're in the right channel [01:19] eangulo: you're in a support channel [01:19] oh, may I ask on -dev? [01:37] how to disable keyboard led, when I switch keyboard language [01:41] I have 2 keyboard layouts: Russian and English [01:42] When I switch to Russian, keyboard's scroll lock led lights up. Back to English, turns off. How to disable such behaviour? [01:42] I want to have that led to be used by scroll lock button, not language layout. [01:46] It used to be an XKbOptions in xorg === Dreaman is now known as Blade [02:02] Hi, could someone perhaps help me setting environmental variables for java and maven? I've been running in circles for 2 days now. [02:27] Hi, I would like to install Ubuntu on a virtual machine running on Windows 7 but my computer is too old to support the virtualization features you need to run the 64 bit version. If I run 32 bit Ubuntu, will I still be able to use most programs or are a lot of them 64 bit only at this point? [02:27] ubuntu 18.04, gome 3, switches only one (main) display, when switching desktops [02:28] how to make it to switch all displays, as it was in unity [02:30] MrMobius: You can install a 32-bit Ubuntu flavor. The software in the Ubuntu repositories should work. [02:30] MrMobius: Things like Chrome won't, but there's Chromium instea. [02:49] MrMobius, try xubuntu or lubuntu instead [02:49] i wouldn't recommend ubuntu for low end machines though === Blade is now known as BgLamersTeam === BgLamersTeam is now known as Dreaman === Dreaman is now known as Blade === capella|away is now known as capella [03:25] what was the first Ubuntu version with APT 1.5? [03:27] according to packages.ubuntu.com, ubuntu 16.04 has apt 1.2.15, and ubuntu 17.10 has apt 1.5, but 16.10/17.04 are out of support and thus out of packages.u.c already, so I don't know where to get that info [03:34] nicolas17: Check the manifest files for any 16.10 or 17.04 release [03:34] http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/16.10/ [03:35] 16.10 had apt 1.3.1 [03:35] thanks! [03:35] 17.04 had 1.4 [03:35] so 17.10 is the first === Blade is now known as BgLamersTeam === BgLamersTeam is now known as Dreaman === Dreaman is now known as BgLamersTeam [04:09] Just installed Ubuntu 18.01, DNS won't resolve. I can ping external IP addresses. I tried setting DNS to google's (8.8.8.8 which I can ping successfully) but even then DNS still wont resolve [04:10] 18.04.01* [04:12] JustAPerson: is this Desktop or server? [04:14] leftyfb: desktop, trying to set up brand new computer [04:14] JustAPerson: it should get it's DNS settings from your DHCP server (router) [04:16] I think there may be something wrong with my school network (I booted up Win8 on another drive and it also had similar DNS issue using dhcp). I have changed the DNS setting of my network card to hard code an IP address [04:17] JustAPerson: contact your school's network admin(s) for support then [04:20] that's the school DNS. Why can't I resolve using another DNS server if I can ping it? [04:20] because they allow outgoing ping but not outgoing port 53 UDP? [05:22] anyone else find that several of the built-in gnome extensions are not working in bionic? (window list for one)? === gr33n7007h is now known as al2o3-cr [05:29] not using gnome [05:30] isn't it the default? are you perhaps one of these xfce/mate people? [05:30] yea, I usually use xfce [05:30] and the terminal [05:31] If it wouldn't be for this web crap I could live happily in the terminal [05:33] well, i get the "WTF" over what happened with gnome3 [05:34] :) [05:37] that said, gnome3 has a way better chance of being used on a touchscreen than gnome2. ofc this never became en vogue [05:39] I think it will get really good at some point and all these pains will go away [05:40] till then...you have to ride it out :) === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [05:52] gnome3 is better on my desktop touchscreen and my tablet. but it does have some pains and 2 big ones. One in the neck nd you can guess where the other pain is located. [06:14] TxRaspPi: if you find a new !bug, then report it mate [06:26] Hello. Does someone have a suggestion for the easiest way to replace Ubuntu Studio with standard Ubuntu, without affecting other partitions. Basically battery life was better before and I'd like to do standard again [06:27] temp_user555: wich studio version are you running right now? [06:28] Lotus|NUC I'm honestly not sure [06:28] It was part years version [06:28] IDK if LTS or not [06:28] I don't have it with me right now [06:29] temp_user555: lsb_release -a please [06:29] temp_user555: there are a few option for you, from your existing install you can install ubuntu-desktop [06:30] temp_user555: or choose a fresh install, but let setup takeover your /home and data on the new install [06:31] temp_user555: yet another way, would be cleaning your current studio with bleachbit, install laptop-mode-tools to save battery [06:33] anyone else find that several of the built-in gnome extensions are not working in bionic? (window list for one)? [06:34] ntd: did you enable extensions from gnome-tweak-tool? [06:34] gnome-tweaks, yeah. gnome-tweak-tool is just a dummy package in bionic [06:35] application menu also not working [06:35] ntd: just wondering, did you download the right extension for your gnome version? some extensions could not work on wrong gnome version [06:36] it's built-in [06:37] so unless canonical fucked up, should be the right version [06:38] ntd: please mind your language in the main support channel, we have users from all over the world here [06:39] "messed up". he said "messed up" [06:39] ntd: can you make a screenshot of whats happening exactly? volunteers might have a look for you [06:39] well, activate the extension and nothing happens [06:39] window list [06:40] activate application menu and "applications" appear in the top left corner but nothing happens when you click it [06:40] Greetings. I have a question about Ubuntu and a specific piece of software. Is this the right channel for it? I am also asking in the software's channel. [06:40] ntd: wich ubuntu version are you on? [06:40] 18.04 [06:40] "anyone else find that several of the built-in gnome extensions are not working in bionic? (window list for one)?" [06:41] *built-in* and *bionic* [06:41] ShawnEvans: we take ubuntu questions here, also on packages that are on official repos [06:41] ShawnEvans: wich package are we talking about, and whats happening please? [06:42] What is lsb_release -a [06:42] lotus|NUC, thank you. My question is about Ubuntu and some behaviour in blender. Specifically, lights are not being drawn correctly in the viewport. [06:43] And lotus|NUC thanks [06:43] ShawnEvans: join the #blender chanel please [06:43] temp_user555: thats to see your ubuntu release version [06:43] lotus, I am there as well. [06:43] Ohh [06:44] ShawnEvans: we mostly take questions on the ubuntu side of problems, if blender would not work or so [06:44] Does Ubuntu only use Freenode? Or other servers as well? I'm just wondering because I've never used others [06:44] ShawnEvans: so your best bet is in #blender [06:44] !freenode | temp_user555 yes [06:44] temp_user555 yes: freenode is the IRC network that you're on! - See http://freenode.net/project - - freenode has policies that govern how people should use the network which can be read at http://freenode.net/policies - The Ubuntuchannels on freenode also have their own !Guidelines [06:52] Hello, I'm trying to create a bootable liveUSB. I've tried etcher-cli and dd. Both have a similar problem. When I look at the drive in parted after the write finishes, parted says "driver descriptor says block size is 512 bytes, but Linux says it's 2048 bytes", and the partition table looks broken with small partations and no bootable partition. The drive obviously doesn't boot. [06:53] correction: driver descriptor says its 2048, Linux says its 512 [06:55] dollfan: what was your dd command? [06:56] ponyrider, sudo dd if=~/Downloads/devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_dvd-1.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=512 && sync [06:57] that looks correct. so you should start your partition at 2048 bytes [06:58] make make the drive bootable. use gparted, it will make it very simple maybe even automatic [06:59] and you can increase the byte size to 'bs=4M' in the dd command to make it faster [06:59] oh so bs doesn't matter for what parted reports the block size as? [07:00] oof, Gparted shows the entire drive as unformatted [07:00] no its to do with how many bytes are written at a time when you copy the iso [07:00] yeah so that would be the problem [07:01] what do you suggest ponyrider ? [07:02] what do you mean? [07:02] I'm just out of ideas, that's why I'm here [07:02] make a gpt partition table and format as fat32 [07:02] then use dd to copy the file over [07:03] do I dd to sdc or sdc1? [07:03] just sdc [07:04] "plain floppy: device "/dev/sdc" busy (Resource temporarily unavailable): [07:04] Cannot initialize '::' [07:04] mlabel: Cannot initialize drive" [07:04] gparted gives me that message [07:04] well is /dev/sdc really your usb stick? [07:04] and the option to manage flags is greyed out [07:05] pretty sure, its the correct size, 14.4GB, and the only other drives are my SD reader (sdb) which is currently empty and my main drive, sda, which is ~1.5TB [07:06] delete the partitions and tables, start again [07:06] alright will do [07:07] partition table type msdos? [07:07] no gpt [07:08] what is that img anyway? [07:08] Devuan, its for people who really hate SystemD [07:08] I'm just trying it out [07:09] its a Debian derivative [07:09] should I check flag legacy_boot? [07:09] you shouldnt need that [07:10] alright, now I do the dd right? [07:10] yeah it should be good just double check that your usb stick is actually /dev/sdc [07:11] alright, dd running, I'll be back if it doesn't work, thanks for your help [07:17] dollfan, devuan? now there is a proper systemd hater. good values :) [07:18] I honestly don't know anything about systemd other than a bunch of people hate it [07:18] i like it [07:21] hey; are display issues with java menu bars in Gnome a known bug? [07:25] ponyrider, is there a way I can run a checksum on the drive after I write it, to compare with the img? [07:26] I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 dekstop. I'd like to get completely rid of snap. Can I safely uninstall snapd (sudo apt purge snapd ; sudo apt autormove)? I can see (snap list) that a few apps are installed, including gnome-3-26-1604 which seems pretty important. Can these be installed as traditional deb packages? [07:26] dollfan, first, it was systemd. not it's networkd, resolved, etc etc [07:27] and ubuntu are doing their darndest to keep messing with us [07:27] netplan? really? [07:27] whats next? 20.04 will use "flub" instead of grub, just to mess with us? [07:27] dollfan: would md5sum /dev/sdc1 work? [07:28] ponyrider, not md5sum /dev/sdc ? [07:28] no sdc1 [07:28] TESloth, i've seen menu issues in gnome, please elaborate? [07:28] hello! I'm trying to install dconf-tools in order to customize panel/dock, but my apt cant locate this package. I'm on 18.10, is that why? [07:29] man, deb sid has less issues than bionic if you ask me [07:29] oakle, dconf-editor? [07:30] ponyrider, I'm looking at it in gparted, and its formatted as iso9660, not marked as bootable, and the option to change the flags is greyed out [07:31] ponyrider, should I dd of=/dev/sdc or of=/dev/sdc1 ? [07:31] no [07:32] ntd: dconf-editor exists! Tyvm [07:32] dollfan, wait. yes. do it. you deserve it for asking that [07:32] it doesnt work? [07:32] ntd, do what? [07:33] I haven't tested it yet, should I? [07:33] no we good we did it correctly. we didnt even need to format as fat32 but all g [07:33] yes [07:33] and also, check your bios [07:33] check my bios? [07:33] that it recognises the usb and boots from it as first priority [07:34] when you restart press DEL or F1 or whatever is says, to enter settings [07:34] oh BIOS, I thought you mean bio-s, like something biological or a biography haha [07:38] ponyrider, so in UEFI mode, my bios keeps forgetting that I told it to put the usb drive first, and it just boots into win10... in legacy mode, it says "no bootable device" and tries again when I press enter [07:38] its an acer laptop [07:39] you want uefi mode. and you are saving the settings? [07:42] So I press F10, it says "do you want to save and exit now", I select yes, the computer reboots into win10, when I go back into the bios it's forgotten I changed the boot order [07:48] ponyrider, okay I got it, I had to turn on an option to enable an F12 boot menu, and when I booted into the usb in UEFI mode, I got a security error. Switching to legacy mode worked [07:52] ok ! great! [07:53] thanks for your help! [08:15] i have script: something(){ echo garbage;echo value;};something , i want all to display but i need value as a return value [08:17] that command forks itself? [08:17] looks like a fork bomb haha [08:17] it aint [08:17] i dont get what you want [08:18] it drops two lines: garbage and value [08:18] yeah i get that [08:18] i want both to display, but i need value as a return value [08:19] what do you mean? [08:19] if i execute the function, i get garbage and value [08:19] i need only value to assign to something [08:20] stumper__, that's more of a thing for #bash [08:20] JimBuntu, they dont react [08:20] value=somestring; echo "$value" [08:20] dont work because its a subshell [08:21] cant assign to global value from subshell [08:21] thanks though [08:23] stumper__: something(){ echo this; echo "$1"; };something return [08:24] like this?? [08:31] Hello. Does photoshop work in Linux? (Without a 3rd software between like 'Wine') [08:32] afaik no native port so must use wine [08:32] ponyrider, the other way around: the return you pass along, i need back from the function =) [08:33] so you want to pipe a value into another command? [08:40] something(){ echo this; echo value | xargs printf "\033[0;32m%s\n"; };something [08:41] stumper__: ^^^ [08:44] ponyrider, testing =) [08:44] so we are passing value into another command (printf) using xargs [08:50] ponyrider, still need to assign value =/ === dreamon__ is now known as dreamon [08:53] ponyrider, this is what i want, but less bloated =) : something(){ echo this; echo value>/tmp/0;};something;value=`cat /tmp/0`;rm /tmp/0;echo $value [08:54] ugly ugly ugly hack [08:55] but then a nice solution =) [09:11] ponyrider, found it, thanks for thinking with me =) : something(){ echo this; eval value=value;};something;echo $value [09:14] Hi, is there any backup solution for (ubuntu) linux that can do live full backups of the entire system? [09:14] like veeam for linux, but without all the bugs lol [09:15] !backup | milp [09:15] milp: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [09:16] lotus|NUC thanks, thats a lot of info, which ones do support live full backups though? [09:18] milp: didnt test myself, but we hear good things about rsync and clonezilla [09:19] yes, however rsync would not backup things like bootloaders and clonezilla requires downtime :( [09:19] (also mdadm raids and crypto containers) [09:27] any good alternatives for o365 in ubuntu [09:27] samiperera: libreoffice [09:28] i mean i tried installing it on wine, === Class7_ is now known as Class7 [09:29] samiperera: use openoffice , libreoffice etc while using Linux systems , [09:42] samiperera: o365 can be used natively...just open firefox and log in [09:56] how do i use it offline [09:57] ponyrider: >=( fascist [09:58] milp: your behavior is a bannable offense [09:58] * runjutsu aggressively drags FortKnight across the room [09:59] this is a unix system, I know this! [09:59] is there a way, i can use a windows samba share offline in ubuntu ? [10:00] John... Johnn... Can't get the computer system working without Dennis Nedry. [10:01] we have a network share based on windows and i'm a newbie to ubuntu [10:03] samiperera: let me see if i can help you understand something..see a samba/smb share can only be accessed if there is a LAN/network and or communication medium between computers "A" and "B" if you disconnect the network cable or wireless there is no longer a medium of communication between the systems [10:03] hi guys, i need a bit of help,i just managed to run WSL with LXDE on a VNC on my desktop, trying to do the same thing with a remote machine i have but instead of LXDE i wanna use gnome, is there a tutorial for that as the only ones i keep finding are from years ago [10:04] samiperera: so this whole "offline" fascination you got going....is counter productive [10:04] the remote machine is a full linux desktop, no WSL on it [10:05] we have shared document location in our small office, we normally updates docs on that share [10:05] my collegues use "Available offline file" option in windows. [10:06] samiperera: you will NOT have the same option(s) ...sorry for your loss [10:07] FortKnight: Thanks bro [10:08] samiperera: he's not your bro, bro [10:08] he is a Knight [10:09] samiperera: sorry, what are you trying to do? [10:09] I didn't quite understand the question since we haven't used windows for a couple of years [10:10] Hi! I have ubuntu 18.04 and i am fiddling with xkb to make my layouts switch. I rebound caps lock to send ISO_Next_Group and checked that it sends this command via "xev" and "setxkbmap -print" returns "pc+us+ru:2+inet(evdev)+capslock(grouplock)" in its xkb_symbols but the layout of keyboard does not change on caps_lock. Can anyone help me debug this problem? Or maybe there is a more appropriate irc channel? [10:11] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/z3ztn7Vhvx/ Heres paste with information [10:12] You need sync smb shared files to be avalible when lan goes off? [10:12] yes [10:19] samiperera: only to get a local copy or also to upload files and changes that you make? [10:20] https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/9gtia9/i_tried_solus_these_are_my_experiences_being_in/ [10:23] baimafeima: why are you just randomly throwing urls into this channel? [10:24] I read the TL;DR but have no clue what this has to do with #ubuntu [10:24] TvL2386, I was a former Ubuntu user, have moved on to Solus and now move back to Ubuntu [10:25] Ubuntu and Solus share a focus on ease of use, I thought it might be of interest [10:25] baimafeima: you're weird. [10:25] baimafeima: ubuntu is not even mentioned in your post [10:26] seems like advertising or something [10:26] I thought I mentioned that I started out on Ubuntu, maybe it was on GitHub [10:26] nevermind [10:33] baimafeima: to me it just seems like you're trying to get a "political message" across here. Both your text and your linking in here. It's all political and you fail hard at framing it as anything else, especially a bad attempt with the title. ".. I have been expelled from the community for posting "political messages.. ". Perhaps that wasn't it really, perhaps the real reason was being off-topic political or not. [10:34] baimafeima: you're free to discuss relevant "politics" in here. We talk about ubuntu and privacy from time to time. But some things are off-topic in here, such as vaccinations, even if not a single one of us believe that it causes autism - it's just simply off-topic. [10:36] discussing Solus /may/ be semi-relevant, maybe, maybe not .. but the way you do it is just ugly. You're like one of those people that goes around and try to push the bible on people by giving it in a Play Station 4 box. [10:37] At least be sincere, statistically we're obviously not below average IQ in here. You're not going to pull a shitty one on us that easily. [10:37] baimafeima: You're not fooling us but you seem to be fooling yourself. But deep down there you know what you just did. [10:38] runjutsu, I think there's no need to discuss anything which you regard as off-topic [10:41]
