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