[06:04] <xubuntu79i> Hi, there.
[06:05] <xubuntu79i> Is anybody here?
[06:05] <Unit193> Howdy.
[06:05] <xubuntu79i> I'm installing Xubuntu on a MacBook Air 11" 2010 : )
[06:06] <xubuntu79i> But having some troubles with GRUB installation.
[06:07] <xubuntu79i> Would you please help me?
[06:10] <Unit193> Last I knew there were differences between installing on Mac and a normal computer, if that's true then I have no idea about Macs.
[06:10] <xubuntu79i> "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda" is what it says.
[06:11] <xubuntu79i> Yup. I've to install rEFIt first in order to boot the USB.
[06:13] <xubuntu79i> Well, I'll try something else. See you.
[06:14] <Unit193> You may wish to seek help in #ubuntu
[06:24] <Gobelijn> Is there anyone that by any chance succeeded in permanently changing his DNS?
[06:25] <Andrio> I may have managed that, yeah
[06:25] <Unit193> Gobelijn: Are you editing /etc/resolv.conf or actually changing it via network-manager?
[06:26] <Gobelijn> When I change it in Network, it resets after a reboot
[06:29] <diogenes_> Gobelijn, maybe with something like dnsmasq
[06:31] <Unit193> I used nm to change it, via Connection Editor, etc.  It holds after reboot.
[06:32] <Gobelijn> what does nm stand for?
[06:32] <Gobelijn> Unit193:
[06:32] <Unit193> NetworkManager
[06:33] <Unit193> nm-applet is the try frontend, there's also nmcli and other tools.
[06:35] <Gobelijn> network manager is not 'installed' by default is it?
[06:39] <Unit193> It is.
[06:41] <Gobelijn> what method do you use? Automatic (dhcp) addresses only?
[06:41] <Gobelijn> Unit193:
[06:41] <Gobelijn> cause one website says this, another website says something else
[06:42] <Unit193> For the specific one I have in mind, pretty much yeah.
[06:44] <Gobelijn> And what about IPv6?
[06:44] <Unit193> I leave that alone, I don't have it on the host in question.
[06:46] <Gobelijn> K, let's see what it does, thanks
[06:48] <Gobelijn> Meh
[06:51] <Unit193> I also don't use systemd-resolved.
[07:39] <Gobelijn> Unit193, answer 1 did the trick. Had to make this /resolv.conf.d/base file and then install resolvconf. Now my DNS finally remains unaltered after rebooting. https://askubuntu.com/questions/157154/how-do-i-include-lines-in-resolv-conf-that-wont-get-lost-on-reboot
[07:43] <Unit193> resolvconf uses dnsmasq to cache requests, that specific file is used to add options before the automatic configuration so when you put your nameserver there you aren't actually using resolvconf to cache requests.
[07:51] <Gobelijn> I had to install it to use this command though: sudo resolvconf -u
[07:52] <Gobelijn> To be honest I have no idea what it means what you said, all I know is that it works for now
[07:52] <Unit193> Sure, just figured I'd mention it.  Also you may want to check your config files in /etc/NetworkManager/ and see if anything is overriding /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-dns-resolved.conf
[07:52] <Unit193> Right, so I guess we can say "good enough"
[07:52] <Gobelijn> Yeah, but it is a good thing to know more about it though
[13:21] <xubuntu48w> Hi
[13:21] <xubuntu48w> Are you boycott iran?
[13:23] <xubuntu48w> Are you online!
[13:49] <Gobelijn> Is it safe to uninstall gnome-keyring?
[13:50] <Gobelijn> My VPN probably doesn't autoconnect because it always asks for a keyring
[13:50] <diogenes_> Gobelijn, i'd rather not, you can configure the keyring to not nag you for password.
[13:54] <Gobelijn> Configuring that doesn't seem to be straightforward
[14:15] <knome> diogenes_, i just always uninstall it :P
[14:31] <Gobelijn> goddamn I thought I had the fix, by clicking on the icon next to the password entry in Network Manager
[14:31] <Gobelijn> ON which you can choose to store password for only this user, all users, not ask password, or ask for password every time
[14:32] <Gobelijn> but still it doesn't automatically connect to the VPN
[14:32] <Gobelijn> How such trivial things can be so difficult is beyond me
[14:42] <irwand22> hi

[20:09] <pavlushka> caldarella: better ask in ##networking channel
[21:11] <SeTunTun> Hi. Everytime i boot in xubuntu 18.04 it boots perfectly but i  get a message telling me about an error.
[21:12] <SeTunTun> I can clic on inform about the error or cancel but there is no iformation about what kind of error it is.
[21:12] <SeTunTun> is there any way to know it? by the way, it appears on the desktop after logging in.
[21:25] <Spass> hello SeTunTun, do you see any useful info in /var/crash/ directory? or maybe apport puts some dump files somewhere else
[21:25] <Spass> last time I had a similar issue the culprit was light-locker on my laptop with nvidia drivers
[21:28] <Spass> I can see that apport logs its activity in /var/log/apport.log and /var/log/apport.log.1
[21:37] <SeTunTun> Spass, hello, let me see
[21:40] <SeTunTun> yes, there are some errors related with lightdm and other things
[21:43] <SeTunTun> https://pastebin.com/Y32GsPsa
[21:46] <Spass> well, that's a trace for sure, maybe /var/crash/_usr_sbin_lightdm.0.crash file will tell you more? do you have nvidia graphics card?
[21:52] <Spass> what you can try (it may help in some cases from what I know) is removing all files from /var/crash as root :)
[21:53] <Spass> then if it was a "one time bug" that window should not bother you anymore
[21:53] <SeTunTun> i have a basic intel graphics card. I'll try to remove them
[21:54] <SeTunTun> there is nothing in var/crash
[21:55] <Spass> my problem was solved by removing light-locker and installing xscreensaver instead, but that may not be solution you're looking for
[21:55] <Spass> can you lock your screen using Alt+F2 and running "xflock4" without a problem?
[21:56] <Spass> if it doesn't lock properly, maybe you have the same issue like me
[21:57] <SeTunTun> i can lock and unlock correctly
[21:58] <Spass> so the problem is elsewhere, you need to investigate further or wait for someone else to give you another answer
[21:59] <Spass> another "extreme" solution is disabling apport completely
[21:59] <SeTunTun> mmm a bit radical ;)
[22:00] <SeTunTun> don't worry, i'll investigate. thanks a lot Spass
[22:00] <Spass> no problem, good luck and if you find something useful let us know
[22:02] <SeTunTun> of course
[22:32] <rebab> I've just installed Xubuntu. My boot screen doesn't show up. It has a glitch.
[22:35] <rebab> How do I fix it?
