[00:15] I suppose I could just use a kernel to kexec the kernel on the volume for now [00:17] Hi! I'm having issues with the wireless mouse when the laptop has been running for some hours, Then the mouse pointer starts "lagging" way back of my movements of mouse. I suspect it has something to do with some power saving settings. When I set everything - Suspend, blank after, put to sleep after, Switch off after, lock, etc. to "never" it works ok. Is this an issue with the Core/Kernel of ubuntu or is it an issue as pr. Flavours? I'm [00:17] testing and want to know where to ask questions for now.. [00:17] Are you using wifi on your laptop? [00:19] longus_catus: If that question was for me - Yes [00:19] Well, the only time I've gotten wireless lag is when using bluetooth and 2.4GHz wifi. Proprietary wirless protocols don't seem to be affected much [00:21] longus_catus: ok - but "Is this an issue with the Core/Kernel of ubuntu or is it an issue as pr. Flavours?" [00:22] In that case it would be neither. Uh, supposing it was a quirk with your wireless mouse, it would be a kernel issue to have a "quirk" enabled for your wireless mouse to disable power saving. But, like, using powertop you can disable and enable the auto power saving features which might be useful to toggle and see if it affects your mouse [00:24] ok [00:24] It could still be thermal throttling or performance (both things that are more likely after a bit of uptime) [00:25] 18.04 xubuntu blank screen after resume from suspend or lock screen. can someone help? [00:34] longus_catus: Ok - I'll see if I can pinpoint it more and ask again. Just wondered what "layer" it was - thanks. [00:38] guest0111, resume from suspend is maybe just not fully supported on your hardware, you can check logs, also try to switch to tty with ctrl+alt+fX etc [00:39] akem : it used to resume fine same hardware. [00:40] guest0111, Ha ok that's different then - it worked on 18.04 or previous release? [00:41] yes fresh install but worked on previous install [00:42] 18.04 [00:44] guest0111, i would try to suspend and try to resume from a clean new user, just to see if some user configuration could impact on this - i think it's not the case, but worth a try...also maybe you changed video drivers since then? [00:44] akem: im using i915 driver. ok ill try new user [00:46] guest0111, if it worked on some fresh install there must be a way to reset the APM/suspend-resume settings thought i don't really know how, couldn't help much with that. [00:47] And i think many people on the chan are sleeping atm. [00:47] akem: thanks for helping. [00:47] howdy, peeps! [00:48] anyone there? [00:48] Hi. [00:49] anyone here use guayadeque? [00:51] not that many, i guess, it is not in our repos, just a ppa [00:51] https://launchpad.net/~anonbeat/+archive/ubuntu/guayadeque === linuxdaemon_ is now known as linuxdaemon [01:21] there is one guayadeque in the canary islands http://www.grancanaria.com/turismo/es/cultura/espacios-arqueologicos/centro-de-interpretacion-del-barranco-de-guayadeque/ [01:48] Hello everybody :) What info should be collected when performing social engineering? E.g. name, surname, email address, etc? Could you give me the most detailed list of info you can come up with? Include everything you think is valuable to collect about a person.

IRC seems dead [02:20] This channel used to be way too overactive not too long ago. I wonder where the support is taking place. Or ubuntu is dead too., [02:20] that's 'cause you're a nerd [02:22] longus_catus: yeah, I remember when this channel was jam packed with like 20 people asking how to use apt at the same time === msalvatore_ is now known as msalvatore [02:48] longus_catus: It turns out all question about Ubuntu have finally been answered. [02:51] ha ha ha, nice one gbellinoz [02:52] I sort of resent Slack for splitting traffic. [02:53] IRC is simpler, uses less memory, and does everything we need. [02:53] ANYWAY, maybe Stack Overflow is enough of a resource now to bat away most of the apt questions? I mean, there are 1252 people in here... [02:53] splitting traffic between...? [02:53] IRC and slack. [02:53] In other words, I have two places to go for a certain topic now. [02:53] slack? is that stack overflow? [02:54] Slack the chat client. It's been taking over IRC for a few years now. [02:54] Are you messing with me? [02:54] No...I've never heard of slack [02:55] It's huge. Not to make you feel like a rock under-dweller. But back me up here team? [02:57] are there art places?

Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:05] Uh thanks... I was asking gbellinoz about the topic of Slack === [b0b] is now known as b0b [04:16] how do i find out who the maintainer is for libplacebo? i need to ask them a question [04:17] the package maintainer* [04:28] looking for another pair of eyes as I have been staring at it for a while. How come this grep command /bin/grep -P '^-w[\s]+/etc/apparmor.d/[\s]+-p[\s]+wa[\s]+-k[\s]+MAC-policy$' is not matching -w /etc/apparmor.d -p wa -k MAC-policy? [04:33] truexfan81: Looks like upstream is debian: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libplacebo , [04:33] anyone? [04:42] Is it just my slow connection, or does the Spotify in the snap repo suck? [04:43] adelo: for snap problems, snap info snapname and see the 'contact' section to reach the maintainer [04:53] anyone know a bit about plymouth? for some reason i cant get my boot splash to show up on startup or shutdown. i just have the black screen and white text while booting but i'd prefer the nice Xubuntu logo i used to have. [04:54] friendlyGoat: did you change grub 'quiet splash' yourself? [04:54] with grub customizer but no matter what i do i cant fix splash being gone [04:55] friendlyGoat: by default quiet splash is enabled, did you do update-grub after edit? [04:56] im gonna try real quick. [04:56] On a new laptop the wireless card and driver doesn't work after a new install of operating system. I am rusty with Linux commands, so I need someone with patience to help. [04:56] i use a tool called Grub Customizer and save it, after saving it i do Install to MBR. [04:56] monte9: ubuntu version kernel version and wifi chipset please? [04:56] for a pic of what i use to customize grub: http://tipsonubuntu.com/2018/03/11/install-grub-customizer-ubuntu-18-04-lts/ [04:57] friendlyGoat: why did you use grub customizer for? [04:58] monte: "sudo ifconfig" to check if your wireless got recognized at all [04:58] i used it for changing my background on grub and then i tried out disabling my splash screen and now i want to undo it @lotuspsychje [04:58] lotuspsychje: I am using Kali, but I don't think anyone will help me in the Kali IRC page so I came here as I used to use Ubuntu for a number of years.

[05:03] lotuspsychje: I was hoping there would be a quick way thru terminal bash. But thank you for your time. [05:03] friendlyGoat: when you come here in ubuntu support, please mention this in your original question you installed grub customizer, this way you can avoid volunteers digging a problem [05:03] oh sorry about that [05:04] friendlyGoat: try uninstall grub customizer, and edit grub the way i suggested? [05:04] monte9, sudo ifconfig. [05:05] jack: should i go ahead and bash that command? [05:06] yup [05:06] jack: if the user doesnt use ubuntu, its not fair to keep helping here [05:06] lotuspsychje, does it really matter [05:07] i'm on trisquel ;) [05:07] jack: there's ##linux to support different distro's if you want? [05:07] you could both join there? [05:07] i'm there already [05:08] I have been trying to get this laptop wireless card working after the install for a while and I finally have my own NBN connection at home so I can connect via wire to the router [05:09] jack: done [05:10] so? study the output [05:10] does anything resemble a wlan?

I have found the chipset: 0bda:b009 Realtek idVendor=0bda, idProduct=b009 802.11n Manufacturer: Realtek [06:07] Hello everyone! I'm running Firefox 67.0.2 on ubuntu 18.04 and I find that now, audio does not work on Firefox. It works fine on desktop applications but I can hear no audio output from firefox. I tried refreshing, deleting all contents of ~/.mozilla and even apt purging + reinstalling firefox but no luck. Can someone help out here? [06:07] what the command for xrandir to resize your screen [06:11] dnivra: and it worked with 67.0.1? [06:13] Yes I'm certain it did. I think it probably did work with 67.0.2 too since according to my apt history logs, it was installed yesterday and I do remember watching some videos. [06:13] dnivra: start playing somethign with audio, say a youtube vid, then go to Settings -> Sounds -> tab Applications and see if the Firefox icon's audio slider is enabled and to the max (right). [06:14] dnivra: the system Settings I mean [06:16] blackflow: Ah there we go. Thanks for that tip! The sounds were at max but looks like firefox was picking the wrong hardware device for some reason. I have system default set to built in analog audio but somehow firefox was using a different device. I switched and now it works. [06:17] Hey you super smart linux weinies. Whats the command for xrandir to resize your screen..I am to lazy to go through all my cli commands to find it. [06:17] Strange how firefox doesn't use the system default though. [06:17] dnivra: it should, who knows what happened there. [06:19] Yeah. I've never really had this problem before so it is baffling. Even more baffling is that the other device is an HDMI device but nothing is connected to my HDMI output port. [06:19] vas_tappendage: you need both --display and -s (--size) params, the manpage has more info [06:20] vas_tappendage: `man xrandr` for a stream of pure, informational enlightment! :) [06:21] dnivra: nvidia? [06:22] vas_tappendage: sorry, --output not --display [06:22] blackflow: Nice guess :). Yeah I have an NVIDIA card but currently I'm using the onboard and not external graphics. [06:23] vas_tappendage: not really the right way to ask for help [06:24] dnivra: asking because there was an update few days ago and depending how recently you ran updates, it's possible that combination of driver update + hdmi/device-renumeration + something something reset + oh look, new FF == FF audio settings burped. [06:28] blackflow: Ah okay. I run updates daily; sometimes even twice daily. The latest firefox was installed ~32 hours ago. === mouses is now known as longcat === longcat is now known as mouses [06:46] Hi, I'm the author of an old tool / hack called pdf2oo which would turn a pdf into a libreoffice document without editing possibilities (but with overlay possibilities, which some of us found useful). Now libreoffice has pdf import but [06:47] the question is: is there a way to convert a pdf to another pdf in ubuntu, keeping it vectorial, but discarding text information, so that libreoffice does not attempt (and fails) to make it editable? [06:50] vincenzoml= ubuntu has several pdf tools built in. from the command line, pdf + tab will get you the complete list. ghostscript can also do some interesting things. you might also see pdfshuffler though that will require installation [06:56] if I understand your request correctly, I think ghostscript might be the key. It removes the meta settings, e.g. printing disabled and creates a "clean", generic PDF [06:57] command line: gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile='output.pdf' 'inputfile.pdf' [06:58] cfhowlett: that command line produces a pdf with textual information still embedded but yes, restricting my search to gs is a good idea for the moment [06:59] is there an app that can change window size? like Sizer for Windows [07:12] darutoko: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5999/setting-the-window-dimensions-of-a-running-application [07:15] Hi, is it possible to export /home with nfs3, yet specify that /home/administrator isn't exported? E.g. maybe with an additional line like this in /etc/exports? /home/administrator 127.0.0.1(..) [07:21] as we are here: since some days, I keep getting a very hot cpu just by using chrome and / or searching an application in gnome-shell (win key + type) [07:21] This is since ubuntu 19.04 [07:21] May this have anything to do with e.g. updated video card drivers? did any of you hear about this? [07:22] blackflow, thank you! [07:25] vincenzoml: you might wanna tail syslog & keep an htop running while you use chrome [07:25] vincenzoml: also keep in mind you are on a non-lts version of ubuntu, and chromium is the ubuntu alternative of chrome [07:27] "ubuntu alternative"?? I always thought it was a linux alternative. is it specific to ubuntu lotuspsychje ? [07:28] lotuspsychje: sure, I'll first of all install chromium [07:28] cfhowlett_1: chrome is from google, chromium the ubuntu inspired one right? [07:29] gotta research this one. I thought chromium was the unbranded version offered and maintained by google [07:29] lotuspsychje: I'm tailing everything I can but the fact is, nothing odd appears, cpu usage is low. Thinking of it I will try iotop [07:29] cfhowlett_1: oh you mean other distro's chromium? [07:29] yes [07:29] chromium-browser is the FOSS part of chrome compiled for linux and distributed by distributions [07:29] right [07:31] i just wanted to point out, chrome we dont really support and for ubuntu we advice chromium :p [07:31] I've wasted like 2 precious hours of my saturday morning with family still sleeping, but did not find a 2019-ish way to remove the **** textual information from a pdf... [07:31] even pdf2ps retains text. [07:31] vincenzoml: inkscape seems to be able to edit things on pdf's, worth a try? [07:32] lotuspsychje: yes I know, I don't suspect chrome on its own, but it costs nothing to try chromium first [07:32] lotuspsychje: I need to NOT edit things :) I want a flat pdf like in the old days when text selection in pdfs was not a thing. [07:33] or even better, I want an option in libreoffice to import text as vector graphics, not text, which is broken [07:33] my final goal is to update my pdf2oo which has gotten rotten [07:34] vincenzoml: i like mupdf, lightweight, but not sure its what you need [07:41] vincenzoml: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28797418/replace-all-font-glyphs-in-a-pdf-by-converting-them-to-outline-shapes [07:44] blackflow: aaah finally! Thanks. I was using the first solution in the first answer (gs -sDEVICE=pswrite, as a first step) and that apparently is no longer supported by gs (is ps dead?) [07:44] ps can't be dead, it's the defacto format the printers use [07:44] but the second solution works, the "new" option is "-dNoOutputFonts" directly in pdf conversion. Thanks a lot, I googled for 2 hours and was unable to. [07:45] you can literally cat a ps file to a /dev/ and it'd print it out [07:45] blackflow: that's the same thought I had, but where did "DEVICE=pswrite" go? [07:45] vincenzoml: yeah I looked up using "convert to curves" terminology we used in pre-press industry [07:45] I mean, once upon a time gs did NOT support pdf at all... [07:45] blackflow: "convert to curves", great info [07:46] ok, so I can update pdf2oo and make it greater and better. [07:48] hummm no, it's not so easy since libreoffice's pdf import is broken also in other places besides text, e.g., transparency and color fill of those curves [07:48] vincenzoml= I think I saw that on a hat. "M P G B" [07:51] and I think pswrite would be the output? [07:51] ps2write [07:52] cfhowlett_1: I don't understand what you mean with your first line :) but for the second one, pswrite just doesn't exist anymore, but I guess there's another filter replacing it maybe for newer formats, who knows. [07:53] ah. got it. you know, it might be worth querying the ghostwriter forums/channels directly for their expertise. [08:18] why this sanduhr package removed on bionic? [08:27] fishcooker: probably because it was removed from debian [08:30] fishcooker: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=887859 [08:30] Debian bug 887859 in ftp.debian.org "RM: sanduhr -- RoQA; long-dead upstream, old gnome libs" [Normal,Open] [08:38] hi there [08:39] can anybody help me. want to do double boot on my computer. I have windows 10 and under that sytem I'm tryign to do usb ubuntu installer [08:40] !dualboot | trafaret1 here's the general guide [08:40] trafaret1 here's the general guide: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [08:40] I use rufus application for that. When I'm trying to boot that usb then I get message will not mount read/write [08:40] try a different USB? [08:41] also trying to install under VB all works well [08:41] don't know what is the problem [08:45] does it possible to install ubuntu right into windows? [08:46] do you mean the full ubuntu desktop? [08:46] yes [08:47] since VB works, why not do that? [08:47] does fat32 will work in x64 systms? [08:54] Can I remove python 2 or 3? I dislike python as a language, don't want to see it in the updates [08:55] test it for yourself: apt purge -s python* will SIMULATE removal. NO SUDO [08:55] qswz: if there are packages that depend on python, there is not much you can do [09:00] Does Livepatch cover HWE kernels? [09:01] looks like no [09:03] qswz: in the end, whether you like python as a language or not shouldn't have any influence on whether you have python installed [09:03] qswz: that's a bit like saying: "I don't like C as a language, so I want to get rid of the C standard library on my system" [09:05] ayekat: hehe ok [09:07] yea removing python affects lots of packages I have (firefox, chrome, krita, ..) [09:28] hi there i was adding crons in my ubuntu , i want to know " wget -O - -q -t 0 " why "0" in last and somewhere existing cron have "1" in last.. [09:40] wget --help | grep -t [09:41] wget --help | grep '\-t' [09:46] man wget [09:47] snake-venom: the manual says -t is for retries, 0 is infinite [10:11] Hi there. I am running into a weird issue. I am running the Tibia game (you can find it on tibia.com) and when I try to drag an item in the game with my touchpad all is well but when I do the exact same action with my external mouse (Logitech G402) the fps in the game drop to 1 or 2 and I even get disconnected from the game if I keep dragging the item on screen for too long. I think this might be an issue with the drivers [10:11] or configuration because I can not replicate the issue with the touchpad. Do you have any idea of how to debug this? or what the issue might be? Thanks for the help. Cheers. [10:23] ivoadf= what ubuntu version? [10:25] 18.10 with i3 window manager [10:26] I'd suggest making sure you're fully updated/upgraded. open a terminal: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade [10:35] I did have some upgrades but the issue remains. [10:36] Howdy folks [10:43] I have somewhat of a weird issue, when I'm root the output from apt is in German even though I haven't set the language to German anywhere. [10:45] Your system has decided for you, as root, what does `locale` output? [10:45] ikanobori, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TXhDDYKwmk/ [10:46] I haven't even generated locales for German, and it seems to only affect apt so far. [10:47] LANGUAGE=en_US:en_GB:de [10:47] For some reason you seem to have a de_* locale. [10:47] I think that's likely inherited from Plasma / KDE, I have set German as a secondary language there. [10:48] I don't know what exactly the standard for secondary languages is and if that environment variable is correct. [10:48] But it seems it makes apt go all German on you. [10:48] yeah normally it should pick the leftmost language first? [10:48] I am unsure, I've never seen that before. [10:48] So I don't know what the 'normal' is here. [10:50] https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/The-LANGUAGE-variable.html#The-LANGUAGE-variable states the priorities are left to right. [10:53] nils_: The last paragraph there seems interesting. [10:54] indeed, this also seems to only hit when I don't set LANG/LC_ALL, I'll give that a test. [10:56] I assume it just doesn't know about en_US and en_GB (because maybe the locales haven't been generated), so software using gettext falls back to german - `locale -a` might help understand it a bit better [10:57] I haven't generated the de_* locales though (at least not on the CLI). The output gets even more bizarre when I start adding other languages. For example when I have LANGUAGE="en:pt_BR:de" it mixes German (for string not translated in portugese) and Portugese [10:57] nils_: please paste the output of `locale -a` [10:57] hello :) [10:58] how do you see on ubuntu the current servers that are running ? [10:59] ayekat, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6Tjnsr8HTf/ (first one is the output from locale -a, the rest shows the bizarre behavior) [10:59] candidat: if you want to list running services, `systemctl list-units --state=running` [11:00] nils_: wow [11:01] "Meist verwendete Befehle: update - Obtém novas listas de pacotes" O_o [11:01] I'm pretty sure I never generated any portugese or spanish locales [11:05] I imagine that apt may have their own localisation files, so even without certain locales existing system-wide, it can localise most of the messages [11:06] and I guess pt_BR is just missing a lot (because I assume it is meant to fall back to pt_PT, but you instead fall back to german), so that would explain that weird mix [11:06] the only thing that's weird is just why `en` seems to be entirely ignored [11:07] ayekat, it may be intentional, so people get the localized version first? [11:07] nils_: yes, so you can do things like de_CH:de_DE:de for swiss people, for instance (and de_CH only needs to define the swiss-specific grammar, and use the german orthography as a fallback) [11:08] i found the guilty [11:08] (actually, I think de_CH:de should be sufficient there, because `de` is simply shorthand for `de_DE`) [11:08] thanks ayekat [11:08] i am using ubuntu as guest on virtualbox and it doesn't allow me to copy&paste from guest to host [11:08] yeah that's how it's supposed to work (similar to the Accept-Language: header for HTTP) [11:08] but in fact, it doesn't allow me to copy url from chrome address bar to host operating system [11:08] nils_: so the only mystery there is why english is entirely ignored ^^ [11:09] so, it seems like the reason is multiple clipboard registers [11:09] ayekat, yeah that is bizarre. [11:09] i really started to hate this multiple clipboard feature [11:09] is there a way to have only one clipboard for all console, gui apps, mouse selections etc.. for all of them? [11:10] is it impossible to memorize which application use which clipboard and manage this situation [11:10] it is* [11:10] cixx: it is custom to use the clipboard for Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V like operations, and the primary selection for mouse-select/middle-click [11:11] cixx: if Ctrl-C in chromium doesn't put the content in the clipboard, but in the primary selection, that's just weird [11:11] yes it doesnt [11:12] I just tested, and chromium behaves as expected, but I'm not on Ubuntu right now, so I can't confirm that... [11:12] buy also when i use Ctrl+u on console to cut and copy the line, it doesn't put the content in the clipboard either [11:12] cixx: you mean in a terminal emulator (like gnome-terminal)? [11:13] ok but there must be a center to manage all [11:13] ayekat: yes [11:13] Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V in a terminal usually doesn't do any copy/pasting, because those keys are already mapped to something else [11:13] typically it's Ctrl-Shift-C instead [11:13] ayekat: i use Ctrl + u [11:14] it copy the content but for just inside ubuntu [11:14] that also has some meaning in many CLI applications, so it's not very wise IMHO - but I guess if you've mapped it in the terminal's settings, it should work [11:14] cixx: so Ctrl-U ends up in the primary selection instead? [11:14] i don't like custom settings really if i don't have to [11:15] hmm [11:15] it seeems like it is working only on terminal === lotus|i5 is now known as lotuspsychje [11:17] (to correct what I wrote above: Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V are not mapped to something else by the terminal, but just aren't mapped to anything, because they typically are used by the CLI application running inside) [11:18] cixx: I would personally just try to get used to Ctrl-Shift-C/Ctrl-Shift-V in gnome-terminal - it's pretty standard behaviour, after all [11:19] https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=91583 [11:20] hm [11:21] ah well, that seems unfortunate -- can you reproduce it in chromium? [11:21] exactly.. it happens everytime. it doesn't work [11:22] i call it as chrome, why do you call it as chromium? :) [11:23] because they are two different pieces of software - chrome is the browser distributed by google, and chromium is the open-source version on which chrome is based on [11:24] hmm [11:24] I'm not 100% sure how exactly those projects are related and how much development efforts of google flow back into chromium, but essentially: chromium=open source, chrome=proprietary [11:24] I mean... chromium=free (because open source does not strictly exclude proprietary, but that's getting offtopic ^^) [11:26] :) [11:26] cixx: but anyway, I'm afraid I can't help there, because it seems a deliberate design decision by chrome, and I don't have sufficient knowledge how the X clipboard and primary selections are implemented :-| [11:26] thank you [11:26] there is a project like this but it seems old. http://www.nongnu.org/autocutsel/ [11:33] after tried virtualbox drag and drop feature to ubuntu desktop, all files on desktop are gone. ubuntu doesn't show files which are in Desktop folder anymore [11:34] i don't like virtualbox for years but after chrome thing, i can't blame it :| [11:35] i use virtual box [11:35] but i think vmware is better [11:35] candidat: vmware is much much more better but not free :( [11:35] and not cheap [11:35] you can have it cracked [11:35] i gave up using cracks [11:37] cixx: the desktop directory is no longer shown on the desktop because that's how GNOME works [11:37] (for whatever obscure reason) [11:37] ayekat: files were on desktop before virtualbox drag drop test [11:38] try gnome boxes, its fast and easy [11:39] i am checking. i heard it first me [11:41] there's also virt-manager which interfaces with (local or remote) libvirt, which can can use kv-qemu and other HVs and also containers [11:42] *kvm-qemu [11:42] that's a bit more work to set up, though, if you're used to GUIs. [11:44] well, gnome-boxes and virt-manager are both frontends to libvirt [11:46] lotuspsychje: so i need linux host for virtualbox? i use windows 10 as host [11:47] virtualbox withs with either windows or linux hosts. but we only support ubuntu here. try #vbox [11:47] * works with [11:50] they are dead [11:50] 3 minutes without a reply doesn't mean "dead" [11:50] cixx: other timezones might help [11:50] it is not 3 mins. it is 6 hours [11:51] no single msg on channel [11:51] cixx: i hope you understand, we have a lot of ubuntu users here, we cant mix other Os support [11:51] lotuspsychje: i dont insist about it :) i was just asking if it possible to use gnome boxes on windows 10 somehow [11:52] in fact, it is linux app as i got [11:52] cixx: you could make your life easy, install ubuntu physical and ask lifetime support here :p [11:52] lotuspsychje: it is corporate machine and they will not allow that :) [11:52] right [11:55] i have to say linux changed my life [11:55] im so gratefull [11:55] no crash no virus [11:55] !discuss | candidat [11:55] candidat: Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks! [11:56] thanks lotuspsychje i m gratefull [11:59] can i restart gnome completely without logout user? [12:00] cixx: depends how you've started gnome [12:00] cixx, you mean restart gnome-shell ? [12:00] in fact, if gnome-shell is equal to gnome, yes [12:01] cixx, Alt+F2 , r, enter [12:01] ayekat: it starts automatically, i login via gnome gui [12:01] it's quite shame that the gtk3 doesn't honor a custom font weight set from gnome-tweak even though gtk2 applications do :( [12:03] ah, I didn't know about the GNOME self-restart mechanism ^^ [12:03] ioria: alt+f2,r -> what does this run at background? [12:03] as a workaround I created custom font family variant from the font I use using font forge and saved it as a standalone font, which forces the gtk3 to use it as it has no regular weight to fall back to [12:04] hmm [12:04] cixx, press Alt+F2; trype 'r' and then Enter [12:04] it is gnome shortcut? not linux [12:04] so it is same for all gnome's on all dists? [12:04] nope [12:07] it seems to be distro-agnostic, though (it's apparently the same as sending SIGHUP to the gnome-shell process) [12:09] i tried kilall -1 gnome-shell. seems same thing but different taste [12:30] I need a video player that can download subs for movies like bsplayer. There is any? [12:37] how do I make Ubuntu start openbox session [12:37] what should I write with startx [12:37] ? [12:38] I am having difficulties as my WINE game does not allow me to alt-tab, so as solution I thought is starting different tty windows [12:38] but starting window manager starts gnome which I don't like\ [12:38] my pc kinda lags on gnome [12:39] RonaldsMazitis: startx is not really supported any more. Installing openbox will add an Openbox session to choose from on login. [12:39] ohh there is wine already [12:40] I am on 18.04 [12:41] startx kinda is how it starts windows manager [12:41] what should I write [12:41] RonaldsMazitis: startx is no longer used. if you're using startx, that's because you're manually running it, and that's not really supported here. [12:42] for a regular ubuntu installation, just installing openbox will add an openbox session to choose from, on login (click the cog icon to select it) [12:42] but when I start tty [12:42] I don't get window manager [12:43] "start tty"? [12:43] I know how to start openbox from login screen [12:43] ALT-CRTL-F3 [12:43] tty [12:43] oh you mean _Change_ tty, not _start_ it [12:44] yeah so, no, you can't run parallel sessions like that in different TTYs like that (would require running separate instances of xorg, but that's another issue) [12:44] on the login screen, choose openbox, and that's it. you can switch to and from openbox/gnome from the login screen. [12:44] okay so it's limited [12:45] but the main problem is [12:45] when I start my wine program in fullscreen [12:45] I can't alt-tab out of it [12:45] which wine program? [12:45] thug pro game [12:46] I'd say something is wrong with alt-tab in that game then. I can normally alt-tab in wine games like doom3, doom and warhammer 4k -- though nowadays I don't use wine any more, the Linux Steam does it automatically in the background. [12:47] (in gnome, that is) [12:48] but nevertheless, you're talking about two separate things here. one is using openbox and the other is alt-tab in a wine game. [12:49] I just thought [12:49] tty is solution [12:49] but [12:49] !xy [12:49] The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned. [12:49] obviously [12:50] using another tty or even starting xorg from startx most certainly has nothing to do with the alt-tab problem. [12:51] if you think your game would work better when run under openbox, that's fine, you can log into openbox session from the login screen, but forget fiddling with TTYs and startx. That's a red herring. [13:22] How do I add (jetdirect) printer in 18.04? The UI prompts for driver but there is no way to focus anything in the list. [13:26] ... or does that depend on networkmanager actually working, which sounds like science fiction for systems upgraded from prior ubuntu releases? [13:31] blackflow: solution to my problem was creating key in openbox to show desktop [13:31] with super-d [13:37] Good morning [13:37] Anyone around [13:37] Nope. We're all hiding. [13:38] fun fact, my i5 processor does video rendering 20 times slower that my galaxy s7 phone [13:38] should I blame kdenlive or ubuntu [13:38] @RonaldsMazitis: what year is computer from [13:38] I don't even remmeber [13:39] 5 years older or more? [13:39] might be 2013 [13:40] Can you upgrade ram or processor in computer? [13:41] Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz [13:41] Are you in the usa? [13:41] no Latvia [13:41]
