| chomwitt | hi from greece. gnome-software wont ask me for a password. it just refuses to install a package | 10:36 |
|---|---|---|
| M_aD | chomwitt: i never use it because it's buggy and installed synaptic instead | 11:39 |
| M_aD | i also install from the terminal if i know the package name | 11:43 |
| chomwitt | hi | 13:06 |
| chomwitt | yes , i could install by lower level tools, but i was wondering why that tools fail | 13:08 |
| chomwitt | strangely update-manager also wont work. It crashed suddenly just when it should display a dialog asking for my password. strange, what action i did could mess with two applications? | 13:37 |
| M_aD | chomwitt: which version of xubuntu are you running? | 13:46 |
| chomwitt | 18.02 | 13:46 |
| M_aD | 18.04.2 | 13:46 |
| chomwitt | Desktop: Xfce 4.12.3 Distro: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS | 13:46 |
| chomwitt | yep , u'r rigth | 13:47 |
| M_aD | :) | 13:47 |
| M_aD | i would either search for bugs related to that version or file a bug report if there are none | 13:47 |
| chomwitt | ok. i'll do that | 13:52 |
| Thr0r | Where can I find "Activities menu" in XUbuntu? Anyone knows? There's supposed to be at Hotkey for it but the ones suggested does not work | 15:31 |
| Unit193 | What is an 'Activities menu'? | 15:32 |
| Unit193 | M_aD: If you don't know the name of the package you wish to install, apt-cache search can assist. | 15:32 |
| Thr0r | It's refrerred to in much of the documentation I read | 15:33 |
| Thr0r | I want to enable remote desktop sharing and I am supposed to go to Activities menu and search for "Sharing" - cant fint it | 15:34 |
| Unit193 | And which documentation would that be? Surely not in https://docs.xubuntu.org | 15:36 |
| Unit193 | There's several tools you can use to do that, VNC (x11vnc?) is one such tool you can set up. | 15:38 |
| Thr0r | Well - right now I was just reading a post on https://websiteforstudents.com/access-ubuntu-18-04-lts-beta-desktop-via-vnc-from-windows-machines/ | 15:40 |
| Thr0r | I have installed VNC | 15:40 |
| Unit193 | Ubuntu uses GNOME, so 'activities' is a GNOME-ism. | 15:40 |
| Thr0r | Oh - ok . But is there a guide somewhere explaining how to enable sharing and connect via VNC using Xubuntu | 15:42 |
| Thr0r | Surely this Sharing setting is essetial.. cant find it | 15:43 |
| M_aD | Unit193: thanks, forgot about that. :) | 15:43 |
| Thr0r | Unit193: Still there? was that your final reply? | 16:03 |
| xubuntu52w | hey! is there anyone that can help me with shared folders? | 17:14 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu52w: What seems to be the issue? | 18:13 |
| Unit193 | Thr0r: Yes that was pretty much my final statement. Depending on if you want VNC or RDP changes which tool you should likely use, and how to implement it. | 18:22 |
| Thr0r | Unit193: Ok - I will look into it. I want to use VNC. But It seems I have to permit sharing of the desktop I am going to take over first. Hope I find how to do that. Now I'm looking into Ubuntu studio to create a lib of all my old music CD's and playlists and all but when copying from CD I only get Track 1, Track 2,.. Not the song title.... | 18:29 |
| alexandre9099 | hi, i'm trying to boot an ancient laptop with xubuntu, but i'm getting a kernel panic with "unable to mount root fs on unknown block", how can i try to fix it? | 18:31 |
| diogenes_ | alexandre9099, 90% it's HDD fault, 10% your usb pendrive fault. | 18:41 |
| alexandre9099 | first i removed the hdd (does the live image need some disk to boot?), and the pendrive is "new" | 18:43 |
| diogenes_ | how did you write the iso onto pendrive? | 18:44 |
| alexandre9099 | using dd | 18:44 |
| diogenes_ | try formatting it and use etcher. | 18:45 |
| alexandre9099 | i'll give it a try | 18:47 |
| === malysps is now known as Spass | ||
| alexandre9099 | diogenes_, nope, same error (i'm discussing on #ubuntu) | 19:17 |
| diogenes_ | alexandre9099, can you test if that pendrive can boot successfully on a different machine? | 19:19 |
| alexandre9099 | i don't have any other BIOS only/32 bit devices :/ | 19:19 |
