[07:04] <soreau> why is printers missing in settings? system-config-printer is installed and working if run manually
[08:55] <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
[10:19] <brainwash> soreau: https://i.imgur.com/cVTzjUP.png
[10:21] <brainwash> maybe /usr/share/applications/system-config-printer.desktop is missing in your case
[10:22] <brainwash> or overridden by a user created version in ~/.local/share/applications/
[10:33] <brainwash> blingrang: did you experiment with the font settings (size and dpi) yet? Xfce settings > appearance > fonts
[11:08] <blingrang> brainwash, Dam. That was it. Should have looked a bit harder. Thanks anyways.
[14:20] <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?
[15:56] <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
[15:59] <brainwash> soreau: did you play around with menulibre (the menu editor)?
[16:00] <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
[16:06] <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..
[16:07] <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
[16:08] <xubuntu24w> Yep frsh install
[16:09] <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
[16:10] <diogenes_> xubuntu24w, did it work while installing xubuntu?
 I installed it with another conection and it worked
[16:11] <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
[16:12] <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
[16:13] <xubuntu24w> I see wired connection 1 and 1 sec after it dessapears
[16:13] <diogenes_> xubuntu24w, desktop/laptop?
[16:14] <xubuntu24w> A pc portable
[16:15] <diogenes_> could be a network card issue, try in live session with usb
[16:15] <xubuntu24w> Now I don't have USB
[16:17] <xubuntu24w> And this problem only happens with this net
[16:18] <diogenes_> xubuntu24w, try: sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
[16:20] <xubuntu24w> The same problem
[16:22] <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
[16:23] <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?
[16:25] <diogenes_> xubuntu24w, to go to the service center
[16:25] <diogenes_> and replace the card
[16:26] <xubuntu24w> The phisic card
[16:26] <xubuntu24w> ?
[16:26] <diogenes_> yes
[16:26] <xubuntu24w> Omg
[16:26] <xubuntu24w> 😂
[16:27] <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'?
[16:28] <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
[16:29] <xubuntu24w> And its a pc portable
[16:29] <soreau> xubuntu24w: What is the output of 'lspci|grep -i Ethernet'?
[16:31] <xubuntu24w> Realtek semiconductor Co. Ltd RTL8101/2/6E PCI express
[16:32] <xubuntu24w> Fast/gigabit ethernet controller (rev 07)
[16:32] <soreau> xubuntu24w: Can you try 'sudo dhclient eth0'?
[16:33] <soreau> well, it might not be eth0, check 'ifconfig'
[16:33] <soreau> xubuntu24w: or just 'sudo dhclient'
[16:35] <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
[16:36] <xubuntu24w> Ok, I will be waiting
[16:37] <soreau> xubuntu24w: 'sudo rfkill unblock all' and then 'sudo dhclient'
[16:38] <xubuntu24w> One question, what is rfkill?
[16:39] <soreau> radio frequency kill
[16:39] <soreau> it's probably trying to dhclient on the wifi device too
[16:40] <xubuntu24w> I put it
[16:40] <xubuntu24w> But nothing
[16:41] <soreau> ok, can you connect to wifi and then run 'sudo apt-get install r8168-dkms'?
[16:43] <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
[16:46] <xubuntu24w_> It is installing
[16:47] <xubuntu24w_> Ok is installed
[16:48] <xubuntu24w_> And the same problem
[16:50] <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
[16:51] <xubuntu24w_> 😂
[16:53] <xubuntu24w_> Van o un installed the other driver
[16:53] <xubuntu24w_> The r8168-dkms
[16:53] <xubuntu24w_> Can i*
[16:53] <soreau> yes
[16:54] <soreau> oh hm
[16:54] <soreau> it's probably the one for 8106
[16:55] <soreau> but only supports up to kernel 4.15 apparently
[16:55] <soreau> xubuntu24w_: what does 'uname -r' say?
[16:57] <xubuntu24w> What driver
[16:58] <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
[16:59] <soreau> run it in terminal
[17:00] <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?
[17:01] <xubuntu24w> Only the command
[17:01] <soreau> uname -r
[17:04] <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
[17:05] <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
[17:06] <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?
[17:07] <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'
[17:08] <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
[17:09] <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
[17:10] <soreau> also
[17:10] <soreau> xubuntu24w_: see this too https://askubuntu.com/questions/770368/realtek-ethernet-driver-error-ubuntu-16-04
[17:11] <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
[21:39] <MannyLNJ> Hello on 18.04 where do I enable screen sharing?
[21:56] <MannyLNJ> Hello on xubuntu 18.04 where do I enable screen sharing for VNC?
[21:59] <brainwash> MannyLNJ: VNC isn't installed by default
[21:59] <MannyLNJ> brainwash, ahh thats my issue then
[22:00] <brainwash> probably best to follow some guide
