| blingrang | Hi, just installed a fresh 18.04 on a new laptop. The menu items sizes are really small. How do I make them bigger?. The window titles and terminal fonts are fine. | 08:55 |
| blingrang | It's just the menu items. | 08:55 |
| blingrang | and folder/file names | 08:55 |
| brainwash | soreau: https://i.imgur.com/cVTzjUP.png | 10:19 |
| brainwash | maybe /usr/share/applications/system-config-printer.desktop is missing in your case | 10:21 |
| brainwash | or overridden by a user created version in ~/.local/share/applications/ | 10:22 |
| brainwash | blingrang: did you experiment with the font settings (size and dpi) yet? Xfce settings > appearance > fonts | 10:33 |
| blingrang | brainwash, Dam. That was it. Should have looked a bit harder. Thanks anyways. | 11:08 |
| SeTunTun | Hi, I use xubuntu 18.04 with a bluetooth adaptor. Everytime the computer boots bluetooth is on. Is there a a way in xubuntu to bootup with bluetooth off? | 14:20 |
| soreau | brainwash: /usr/share/applications/system-config-printer.desktop exists and there is ~/.local/share/applications/system-config-printer.desktop but even if I temporarily move it, the printer icon still doesn't show in settings | 15:56 |
| brainwash | soreau: did you play around with menulibre (the menu editor)? | 15:59 |
| brainwash | it could be that the entry for s-c-p is disabled | 16:00 |
| brainwash | or something like that | 16:00 |
| brainwash | disabled or hidden | 16:00 |
| xubuntu24w | Hello, I have a wire conected to my pc but I don't have connection. Help pls | 16:06 |
| soreau | brainwash: not that I know of but I could check.. | 16:06 |
| soreau | brainwash: if I type 'system-' in whisker menu, the printers is the only thing that shows up | 16:07 |
| soreau | so it's in the menu, just not in the main xfce settings gui | 16:07 |
| xubuntu24w | Hello, I have a wire conected to my pc but I don't have connection. Help pls | 16:07 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu24w, fresh install? | 16:07 |
| xubuntu24w | Hello, I have a wire of ethernet conected to my pc but I don't have connection. Help pls | 16:07 |
| xubuntu24w | Yep frsh install | 16:08 |
| soreau | xubuntu24w: The only time this ever happened to one computer I came across, I had to run 'ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full' each time I reboot the computer | 16:09 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu24w, did it work while installing xubuntu? | 16:10 |
| xubuntu24w | <diogenes_> I installed it with another conection and it worked | 16:10 |
| diogenes_ | try same cable on a different machine, might be cable might me router | 16:11 |
| diogenes_ | does it say connected? | 16:11 |
| xubuntu24w | No | 16:11 |
| xubuntu24w | When I put the wire in other pc it works | 16:12 |
| soreau | that sounds like the problem I mentioned | 16:12 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu24w, but when you click then network icon do you see wired connection 1? | 16:12 |
| diogenes_ | or similar? | 16:12 |
| xubuntu24w | But here recognize the net for one sec and then desappear | 16:12 |
| xubuntu24w | I see wired connection 1 and 1 sec after it dessapears | 16:13 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu24w, desktop/laptop? | 16:13 |
| xubuntu24w | A pc portable | 16:14 |
| diogenes_ | could be a network card issue, try in live session with usb | 16:15 |
| xubuntu24w | Now I don't have USB | 16:15 |
| xubuntu24w | And this problem only happens with this net | 16:17 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu24w, try: sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager | 16:18 |
| xubuntu24w | The same problem | 16:20 |
| xubuntu24w | If I put the mouse above the net icon it says : asking for a wired net connection | 16:22 |
| xubuntu24w | Im not very well with English and I have the system in another idiom | 16:22 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu24w, might be the networc card issue with the computer | 16:23 |
| xubuntu24w | But that what I said is something like the pc says | 16:23 |
| xubuntu24w | And what can I do? | 16:23 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu24w, to go to the service center | 16:25 |
| diogenes_ | and replace the card | 16:25 |
| xubuntu24w | The phisic card | 16:26 |
| xubuntu24w | ? | 16:26 |
| diogenes_ | yes | 16:26 |
| xubuntu24w | Omg | 16:26 |
| xubuntu24w | 😂 | 16:26 |
| soreau | xubuntu24w: it's not impossible that it could be a driver bug too | 16:27 |
| soreau | xubuntu24w: What is the output of 'lspci|grep -i Ethernet'? | 16:27 |
| xubuntu24w | My pc have 4 years, I have had Windows and it has worked, but I decided to put xubuntu | 16:28 |
| xubuntu24w | Pc is 4 years * | 16:28 |
| soreau | the hardware is most likely ok | 16:28 |
| xubuntu24w | And its a pc portable | 16:29 |
| soreau | xubuntu24w: What is the output of 'lspci|grep -i Ethernet'? | 16:29 |
| xubuntu24w | Realtek semiconductor Co. Ltd RTL8101/2/6E PCI express | 16:31 |
| xubuntu24w | Fast/gigabit ethernet controller (rev 07) | 16:32 |
| soreau | xubuntu24w: Can you try 'sudo dhclient eth0'? | 16:32 |
| soreau | well, it might not be eth0, check 'ifconfig' | 16:33 |
| soreau | xubuntu24w: or just 'sudo dhclient' | 16:33 |
| xubuntu24w | It says operation not possible due to RF-Kill | 16:35 |
| soreau | interesting | 16:35 |
| soreau | sec | 16:35 |
| xubuntu24w | And if I put dhclient eth0 it says that cannot find device | 16:35 |
| soreau | yes no problem | 16:35 |
| xubuntu24w | Ok, I will be waiting | 16:36 |
| soreau | xubuntu24w: 'sudo rfkill unblock all' and then 'sudo dhclient' | 16:37 |
| xubuntu24w | One question, what is rfkill? | 16:38 |
| soreau | radio frequency kill | 16:39 |
| soreau | it's probably trying to dhclient on the wifi device too | 16:39 |
| xubuntu24w | I put it | 16:40 |
| xubuntu24w | But nothing | 16:40 |
| soreau | ok, can you connect to wifi and then run 'sudo apt-get install r8168-dkms'? | 16:41 |
| xubuntu24w_ | It is a driver | 16:43 |
| xubuntu24w_ | Sorrau | 16:43 |
| soreau | yes | 16:43 |
| xubuntu24w_ | Ok | 16:43 |
| xubuntu24w_ | Can you pass me the name again | 16:43 |
| soreau | sudo apt-get install r8168-dkms | 16:43 |
| xubuntu24w_ | It is installing | 16:46 |
| xubuntu24w_ | Ok is installed | 16:47 |
| xubuntu24w_ | And the same problem | 16:48 |
| xubuntu24w_ | Hello? | 16:50 |
| soreau | you might have to download and build one of these drivers https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/advanced-search/280?Itemid=276 but I'm not sure which one exactly | 16:50 |
| xubuntu24w_ | Omg | 16:50 |
| xubuntu24w_ | 😂 | 16:51 |
| xubuntu24w_ | Van o un installed the other driver | 16:53 |
| xubuntu24w_ | The r8168-dkms | 16:53 |
| xubuntu24w_ | Can i* | 16:53 |
| soreau | yes | 16:53 |
| soreau | oh hm | 16:54 |
| soreau | it's probably the one for 8106 | 16:54 |
| soreau | but only supports up to kernel 4.15 apparently | 16:55 |
| soreau | xubuntu24w_: what does 'uname -r' say? | 16:55 |
| xubuntu24w | What driver | 16:57 |
| soreau | xubuntu24w: what does 'uname -r' say? | 16:58 |
| xubuntu24w | The r8106-dkms | 16:58 |
| xubuntu24w | Una unamer? | 16:58 |
| soreau | no it's a command to show kernel version | 16:58 |
| soreau | run it in terminal | 16:59 |
| xubuntu24w | It DONT recognize the command | 17:00 |
| xubuntu24w | Dont * | 17:00 |
| soreau | you're probably typoing | 17:00 |
| soreau | xubuntu24w: just type 'uname -r' without quotes | 17:00 |
| xubuntu24w | Can you send it again? | 17:00 |
| xubuntu24w | Only the command | 17:01 |
| soreau | uname -r | 17:01 |
| xubuntu24w_ | It says | 17:04 |
| xubuntu24w_ | 4.14.0-45-generic | 17:04 |
| xubuntu24w_ | 4.15.0-45-generic* | 17:04 |
| soreau | xubuntu24w_: ok, go here and download "2.5G Ethernet LINUX driver r8125 for kernel up to 4.15" https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-pci-express-software | 17:04 |
| soreau | I think they require you to enter an email | 17:05 |
| xubuntu24w_ | Ok I will do it tomorrow then | 17:05 |
| xubuntu24w_ | Thanks for The help | 17:05 |
| soreau | yea it looks like a driver problem | 17:06 |
| soreau | xubuntu24w_: it might already be fixed in later versions of xubuntu | 17:06 |
| soreau | but no way to tell without testing | 17:06 |
| xubuntu24w_ | One Last question | 17:06 |
| xubuntu24w_ | After download that | 17:06 |
| xubuntu24w_ | I have to installed it,, but how? | 17:06 |
| xubuntu24w_ | Sudo apt-get install (what?) | 17:07 |
| soreau | xubuntu24w_: extract it, change into the directory on the command line and run './autogen.sh && make && sudo make install' | 17:07 |
| soreau | but you'd want to run 'lsmod' on the driver to make sure it supports your card | 17:08 |
| soreau | it might be the r8168 link there | 17:08 |
| soreau | hard to tell | 17:08 |
| soreau | ultimately it will build a .ko file that is a kernel object | 17:09 |
| soreau | which is the driver | 17:09 |
| xubuntu24w_ | Ok | 17:09 |
| xubuntu24w_ | Thanks | 17:09 |
| soreau | np, best of wishes | 17:09 |
| soreau | also | 17:10 |
| soreau | xubuntu24w_: see this too https://askubuntu.com/questions/770368/realtek-ethernet-driver-error-ubuntu-16-04 | 17:10 |
| soreau | there is a guy that talks about even further steps after installing the driver | 17:11 |
| soreau | for your specific chi[ | 17:11 |
| soreau | chip | 17:11 |
| xubuntu24w_ | Ok thanks | 17:11 |
