[00:03] Can someone perhaps answer a newbie question ... if I make a empty Linux partition / mount /format it etc ... can I get Ubuntu to install new software to that NEW partition ... kinda of like installing software to a different drive letter, is that possible? [00:04] I just want to keep this drive I have with just ubuntu running on it, and it has like 20+G free space so that's all good, but I can make a 210G drive and install more software onto that, I just don't know how. [00:06] !home | DOSfan [00:06] DOSfan: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [00:07] hay thanks :))) === Flexman is now known as Guest16676 [00:08] lotuspsychje: well I ask this cause Ubuntu seems tro always just install onto itself when doing ANY updating using ... sudo apt-get update [00:09] lotuspsychje: if I remove all software and reinstall to different partition/drive that's what I want ... personal files are not the issue .. it's where all the software IS installed now. [00:09] Yeah. In Windows, every drive gets their own letter. [00:09] that's the problem [00:09] You start with a drive, then add directories to it. [00:09] In linux, you start with a directory structure and attach drives to it. [00:09] ya sorry I am kinda new to linux/ubuntu .. but this Unity desktop I have running is AWWWSOME :) [00:10] DOSfan: its reccomended to keep linux structure as it is [00:10] oh I' using Ubuntu 16.04.6 with Plasma installed [00:10] When you install software via apt, it usually goes under /usr [00:10] If you want to add more drive space to /usr, I think you'd need to do something with LVM, but that's all black magic to me. [00:16] when my system boots it stalls for 2 minutes on the networking part, is there any way to skip whatever is making it stall? [00:16] genewitch, does this also happen if you have no cable plugged in ? [00:17] For what it's worth, I don't think skipping runlevels would be a good idea [00:20] genewitch, I need to go, but I would ask myself if this is a symptom of the computer or the networking appliance... as in, does rebooting the router /etc fix it. If so, deal with that issue... if not, do I have the correct module for the network interface loading at boot... is it in the kernel or external, are there conflicts. What of my services require networking [00:21] Is it a DHCP assignment request that's hanging or something else... things like that. Either way, you are in good hands here. Post details and someone should be able to help. [00:21] JimBuntu: i never have a cable plugged in, it's wifi only [00:26] bbl ... [00:26] i would enable wireless after user login, not at boot [00:28] OerHeks: ideally this is headless. Should i be in #ubuntu-server [00:30] wireless is working, it's a DKMS driver, it still takes over 2 minutes for the networking part of boot to pass (it's orange/red when it's booting, that line on the screen) [00:35] headless and wifi usually are annoying [00:35] any reason why it can't be next to the modem? [00:35] not like it has to physically be in the same room [00:36] wireless servers, no way to speed that up than reserve your connection in the router [00:44] yeah you could give it a static ip [00:44] even wired devices that wait for networking take longer to boot [00:45] I had FreeBSD installed with an older init style and it sat there and waited for every last drop of ethernet to be established before it would boot further === zbenjamin is now known as Guest80435 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:28] Hello. I installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 with encrypted root partition. now I want to change it, how do I do it? Thank you [01:28] Change it to non encrypted? You re-install. [01:29] nope, I want to change the LUKS encrypted password, not remove the encryption [01:29] jups, no roll back. [01:29] ohh .. [01:30] Mr_Cyclops: you use 'cryptsetup' [01:30] with screenshots https://www.maketecheasier.com/change-luks-encryption-passphrase/ [01:30] Mr_Cyclops: something like cryptsetup luksChangeKey [path to your device/partition]. [01:31] awesome! thats what I wanted :D [01:31] even better. Thanks OerHeks [01:31] thanks DomingoMontoya [01:31] and thanks OerHeks .. cheers! [01:31] I suggest adding a key, making sure that key works, then removing the old one. [01:32] basicly, yes [01:32] easy to check if the key works, before destroying the old === [b0b] is now known as b0b [02:51] back [02:53] OmniscientQ: I read what you typed, yes exacly it's perhaps about making a Linux LVM partition, which I have done, it's just a matter of setting some paramters of the original Ubuntu partition to see that new free space area. So it's getting there :) === fernando is now known as ElFerna [02:56] * uRock is still known as uRock [02:56] annoying namechangespam [03:48] i'm setting up 18.04 on a new machine, and i created a .desktop file to add a shell script to my launcher, except when i click on it, it runs and opens a duplicate icon on the launcher instead of just highlighting the one that i added to favorites [03:48] anyone run into that before? [03:49] having trouble knowing what to google for this one :) [03:52] nevermind ... got it [03:52] in .desktop need to add StartupWMClass [04:41] protip: put this in your shell rc file: cat() { lolcat -f $@ | ponysay -Wi } [04:42] makes your day much more colourful. [04:44] I wish the colour saturation and lightness of lolcat were configurable, however. [05:11] hello, does one of the following patches require reboot? https://paste.centos.org/view/0600fd24 [05:18] If the file /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs exists, then one or more processes require a full reboot. [05:19] cat /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs # will tell which package [05:19] not sure that works on centos too :-P [05:36] hello, is there a way to set the programs up in such way that they do not show up in the program switching screen(Alt+Tab), but only in the tray on the top. And only when clicked would maximize and then appear in the program switching screen. For example skype does that. I would like the same thing to happen with my IRC application. === im0nde_ is now known as im0nde1 [06:06] I need help with my microphone or something in ubuntu [06:07] It works in windows but when I use it in Ubuntu it does some weird high pitch scream sound [06:07] move the mic away from speakers [06:07] I have headphones so [06:07] I know its not feedback [06:08] it sounds like feedback but it doesn't make sense for it to be feedback [06:08] back :) [06:09] hi [06:10] badcomoc: I read what you typed ... I have been using this ubuntu for awile and one add-on I put in is the Pulse Audio driver/software ... that way the microphone is using a totally differnt audio input so to speak. [06:11] Well I have this Pulse Audio loading on boot so I don't know if you have that running or not. I would think you would since you kihda install it anyway ... just a thought. [06:12] I'm using Pulse Audio. [06:12] oh [06:12] wellll in that case I typed allot for nothing ? ;) [06:13] so explain your problem again ... I might be able to help cause I do audio/wiring as well [06:13] hmmmm // I guess you already did ... thinking [06:14] I don't exactly know what the problem is but my microphone plays back a high-pitch sound somewhat like audio feedback despite the Microphone seeming to be working fine on Windows. I know it's not actually audio feedback because I'm using headphones so it doesn't make sense for it to be getting feedback. [06:14] try different microphone I would suggest // even if it [06:14] s one of thoes real cheap 3.5mm jack ones [06:16] if you think, do you have any other microphone you can try? ... even if you may have an adapter to run the lager ummmm 5mm jacks (if you have a handy 3.5 converter) .. which I have with my microphones. [06:17] I have two Microphones [06:17] I just mention this cause it sounds perhaps more of a hardware/microphone issue [06:17] they both do it? [06:17] I've already tried both of my Microphones [06:17] they both do it but slightly differently [06:17] different sounds. I don't know how to explain them [06:18] so you Dual-boot this computer/box ... is windows using the SAME sound card/chip as the ubuntu one is using? ... what sound card.chip/make is it? [06:19] Sound card is onboard. I don't know what it is. Windows and Ubuntu use the same one and it works on Windows. [06:19] I assume you have the Pulse Audio icon on your Ubuntu screen? ... by the main shutdown icon? .. can you bring that up? [06:21] what setting are showing in the basic Ubuntu Settings for Sound? .. a seperate popup should also come up .. that shows the microphone LEVELS [06:21] ok holdup a second [06:21] suuuuure thing :D [06:24] http://i.imgur.com/A9THQwp.png [06:25] The input level for the microphone shows it picking up the sound correctly but if I enable loopback or if I use the microphone in a program such as Discord it has the high-pitch feedback like sound [06:26] Welll ... new Kernel version is showing as available for install as well as Firefox update ... looks like I might have to install this and reboot here now ... brb === Flexman is now known as Guest62668 [07:27] hullo [07:35] brb .. coffee break [07:41] fancy data visualizers are slowing down the system [07:41] aneon: is that a question or a statement? [07:41] statement [07:42] aneon: please use ubuntu-discuss for that [07:42] interesting .. [07:42] Okay [07:42] redirect accepted [07:42] I am trying to figure out a remedy for this [07:43] aneon: please keep the offtopic out of the support channel [07:44] okay [08:35] bbl ... sleep/zzz/bed time :) [08:41] DOSfan, noneed to tell us [09:35] so about snaps, why is it that apt-cache search doesn't show "skype" but sudo snap install skype works? [09:36] is installing something through apt different than through snap? [09:38] johnjay: Yep, two entirely different software installation methods with their own libraries. [09:38] johnjay: Sometimes you can snap & apt install the same software side by side! [09:45] oh... ok [09:55] Hi @all. Why does ping https://www.google.com fail in the bash shell and ping www.google.com works fine? [09:56] Had this problem after updateing to ubuntu disco. [09:57] pcre: it had the same behavior before [09:59] ping relies on ICMP, not HTTP, the adress in http:// doesn't make sense in a ping context. [09:59] lgreffier: ok. I did not notice. I had no problems with git clone https://somerepository at first - now i do. [09:59] http relies on tcp [10:00] pcre: does it give an error message ? [10:00] timeout ? [10:00] what repository ? [10:00] It is a german error message: ping: http://www.google.com: Der Name oder der Dienst ist nicht bekannt [10:01] Means something like service unkown. [10:01] oh [10:01] i was talking about git clone [10:02] oh wait. [10:03] as i said earlier : ping didn't and wont work with URL (http://www.stuff.com/) , it's supposed to work with a domain name (www.stuff.com) [10:05] legreffier: It has no error message. It says "clone repository". And returns to the shell. But it does not download anything. [10:06] legreffier: git clone https://github.com/JFreegman/toxic.git [10:07] legreffier: dig www.google.com returns an Ip address but "dig https://www.google.com" wont. [10:09] pcre, does this work> wget https://github.com/JFreegman/toxic/archive/master.zip [10:09] jeremy31: yes it does. [10:12] wget has its own ssl cacerts, doesn't it? [10:12] Hi, how do i increase the value of ulimit -n? [10:17] I tried "apt-get reinstall ca-certificates". Did not help [10:17] ulimit [10:18] ulimit -n [10:19] pcre: you can make it permanent via /etc/security/limits.conf [10:20] @diverdude -^ [10:21] aneon: aha ok. [10:26] I got this message while reinstalling "ca-certificates" package. /etc/ca-certificates/update.d/mono-keystore: 10: /etc/ca-certificates/update.d/mono-keystore: /usr/bin/cert-sync: not found [10:26] /usr/bin/cert-sync not found. [10:35] pcre: any update for ca-certificates-mono available? [10:36] cert-sync should be in package ca-certificates-mono <- but this package is not available. [10:53] jeremy31: I had to add universe and multiverse to the /etc/apt/sources.list. All i had was restricted. [10:54] jeremy31: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade is running now.

I’m trying to re-install it (with hope that updates to 7.1.3 from 7.1.1) but i’m getting the following problem - https://pastebin.com/PqHPyqVE [11:31] I’ve tried apt-get update/upgrade/autoclean/autoremove/clean [11:32] But the same problem from the pastebin exists [11:32] I have also ran apt-get remove php7* [11:32] 14.04 is EOL [11:32] 14.06 never exist [11:33] 16.04 perhaps [11:33] 14.04.6 LTS - I thought it was until 2022? :( [11:33] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [11:34] 14.04.06 isn’t EOL until 2022 [11:34] But yes on the standard support. I didn’t think that affected apt-get repos [11:37] maplesyrup43543: are you paying for ESM?

Unofficial. [11:49] they send me to here [11:49] c_m: who did [11:49] Acheron [11:49] 14:46 <@Acheron> maybe someone in #ubuntu could help with this xorg issue [11:50] c_m: from wich channel was that? [11:51] lotuspsychje: obviously from ##linuxmint [11:52] c_m: the mint channel forwarding users to here, thats reverse right [11:53] looks like that's not mint [11:53] i used to have mint 18.3 (based on ubuntu 16.04), and there was no such bug [11:53] looks like it is xorg [11:54] c_m: we can only take ubuntu releases here for support (from the topic) [11:54] (which, according to Acheron's messages, was rewritten in 18.04) [11:54] ok [11:54] bye [11:59] Has ubuntu/unity/gnome moved away from having the menu in the title (like macos?)?

[12:43] lotuspsychje, disco, linux, the one from repository [12:43] it's not so labor to change it back, but it really annoys [12:46] vadique: wich search engine did you have, and wich engine did it change to? [12:47] lotuspsychje, google to yandex [12:47] (maybe because yandex is the first in the list) [12:47] vadique: i dont even see a yandex here, on 18.04 [12:48] mine was set on google and after firefox updates remained google === akaWolf1 is now known as akaWolf [12:48] vadique: did you try to create a new user, see engine it picks? [12:48] lotuspsychje, too much effort for such [12:49] vadique, you probably installed some extensions [12:50] ioria, two for codecs and drm [12:50] russian search engine? [12:50] vadique, as lotuspsychje said yandex it's not in the list (at leat on 18.04) [12:52] hi all [12:53] ioria, it wouldn't be unless you're in Russia, Ukraine etc === Flexman is now known as Guest17992 [12:53] welcome nagyg [12:53] how can I install mysql-server-5.7 on ubuntu so that I can set the root password at installation? [12:53] BluesKaj, probably [12:53] currently I struggle with overwriting the root pwd because with apt install it sets a root password I do not know [12:54] hi lotuspsychje [12:54] nagyg: if its on ubuntu server, see also #ubuntu-server [12:56] it's a development machine [12:56] nagyg: ubuntu desktop? sure thing idle here then [12:57] ah, I think you meant sth else, its the desktop [12:57] yep [12:57] I even tried running mysql_secure_installation which asks for a root pwd but then again, I cannot login with that [13:01] on ubuntu gnome both pgadmin and dbeaver look atrocious on hidpi screen, are unusable. Anything I can do about it? [13:06] anyone using libcurl3? [13:08] aneon, sometimes but its been a pain in the ass as ubuntu can have only one or the other [13:08] ive got some apps needing 3 some needing 4 [13:11] same here, I need it as a dependency for nepenthes [13:12] I think curl-7.14.X compile will work [13:13] nope [13:13] the way i did it was to download the lib and package it with my app [13:13] i tried for months trying to get curl3 & 4 together [13:14] I will build static libcurl3 and install in /usr/local [13:14] later remove it [13:14] its the associations [13:14] its not as simple [13:14] you will see [13:15] its been a while so i cant remember exactly but if i remember a little its you cant even install it side by side [13:15] LD_PRELOAD [13:15] lets see [13:16] I can bootstrap pkgsrc and compile on it [13:16] im skeptical haha. [13:16] once done I will purge it [13:16] if you manage to get it working would be nice to have a tutorial [13:16] ahahaha [13:18] I will get it working [13:32] i think your going to have to pull out the .so to be able to use the api with your app [13:32] can you not stick to using 4 [13:37] the program I want wont compile with libcurl4 [13:38] that stuff is ancient - from 2008-10 something [13:38] hahaha [13:38] really good luck i honestly spent a good 5 months trying [13:38] thats why i dont remember much but i bloody remember this hahah [13:39] aneon MrCrackPot can you both please stop ranting in the support channel? [13:41] ^^ ubuntu has a new police offer ?? [13:42] MrCrackPot: this channel is for ubuntu support questions, please respect the guidelines [13:43] if you hadnt noticed i was helping him with a ittle light banter inbetween [13:43] no need to go pc mad [13:44] hi [13:45] libreoffice writer on ubuntu 18.04 seems to be missing some fonts that I require [13:45] Preferred Fonts: Times New Roman, Garamond, Tahoma, Verdana, Book Antiqua, Courier New, Calibri, Cambria, Palatino Linotype, Arial [13:45] Out of those Garamond, Tahoma, Book Antiqua, Calibri, Cambria and Palatino Linotype are missing [13:45] How do I install them? [13:45] how I could download ubuntu drivers for emerson tv??? [13:46] MrCrackPot: I installed libcurl3 but nepethenes still can't find it, ldd finds everything [13:46] CoolerZ check out google fonts then follow the steps [13:46] aneon, it refused to let me install side by side so you got one step further than me. [13:47] im guessing your having the same problem though the linking issues [13:48] not really I compiled some other stuff with it and it worked, this is probably due to the other code [13:48] MrCrackPot, google fonts links to a different website for Cambria, Calibri and so on that asks you to buy them [13:48] CoolerZ, https://www.wfonts.com/font/cambria [13:49] ah sorry my bad [13:49] i think the owner made it commercial [13:49] CoolerZ, try this one https://www.downloadfonts.io/downloads/cambria/ [13:50] MrCrackPot: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/x79kD7wSGD/ [13:51] CoolerZ: identify the packages providing these fonts and install them, e.g.: apt search Garamond [13:52] aneon, yer its the linking sorry pal the only thing i know is to extract the lib and compile it with it [13:52] or you can go through and change each sym link [13:52] but there are at least 15 - 30 [13:54] MrCrackPot, aneon: this is really not the best place to discuss software development / building. the goal of this channel (as the topic states) is really just supporting users in using ubuntu. i would appreciate you two moving to #ubuntu-app-devel [13:55] how I could download ubuntu drivers for emerson tv??? [13:55] MrCrackPot, aneon: i mean you're obviously very welcome to stay here, just moving this very chat there. [13:58] okay [14:00] luxbel, you use the drivers on your computer not the tv [14:01] i know [14:01] then connect the tv to your computer [14:01] but the generical with comes with the os are malfunctioning [14:02] already done but it is blurred the image [14:02] luxbel: can you pastebin: sudo lshw -C video && uname -a && lsb_release -a [14:03] what type of connection is it? [14:03] hdmi [14:04] could be a bad cable [14:06] it is new [14:06] and it works only blurred [14:06] its software realted problem [14:07] tomreyn, which packages have it? [14:08] packages??? [14:08] CoolerZ: have you run "apt search Garamond" as i suggested? [14:08] https://pastebin.com/Mk4PqmXX [14:09] tomreyn, what about this? ttf-mscorefonts-installer - Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts [14:10] luxbel: seems like everything ok there [14:11] yeah on paper hahaha, but not the image [14:11] luxbel, check the tv to make sure your setting is 1080 not 480 [14:11] it si 1080 [14:12] luxbel: and also the systemsettings/devices/monitor to see settings there, mirrored or stretched? scaling? [14:13] yes [14:13] everything is fine on settings [14:15] luxbel: journalctl -f and plug out your hdmi and plug back in, then pastebin us the whole output please [14:32] !pastebin | luxbel [14:32] luxbel: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [14:38] I'm having trouble finding instructions from DigitalOcean to setup an http caching proxy. Can someone point me in the right direction? [14:39] Hmm. I guess that's because you wouldn't want to proxy on a remote server. Derrrrr. === phd is now known as _pa [15:05] Hi, how to get a graphical password prompt for gpg key decryption? On other distros I can just start and install lxqt-policykit-agent, but it doesn't seem to work on Ubuntu, still getting a cli prompt. The goal is to use passmenu on i3. Any idea? Thanks for your help. [15:06] My guess is that gpg isn't configured to use polkit, but I don't know how polkit is involved. [15:12] Exagone313: sudo update-alternatives --config pinentry [15:13] i'm not aware of a policykit integration for passphrase prompting (but such may exist) [15:16] (i *think* polkit is mostly used for authorization purposed (requesting your account password to carry this out), not for authentication against services / within applications.) === luxbel1 is now known as luxbel [15:39] Hello o/ === Blade is now known as Blade`test [15:51] tomreyn: I'll have to check how it's configured in other distros :/ [16:11] what's the difference between "apt-get install" and "apt -y install" [16:13] so -y is yes to questions [16:13] but what is the difference between apt-get and apt? [16:13] emOne: what are you trying to do exactly? [16:13] they're two frontends to the same system, and do broadly the same thing. apt is newer, apt-get has been around for years [16:14] lotuspsychje: install varnish and hitch [16:15] dax: I have always used apt-get [16:15] but I see tutorials are using apt -y install [16:16] lotuspsychje: okay. thank you. I think I will start using apt [16:16] emOne: in some ways apt is friendlier and is designed to be run interactively by users - if you're using these in scripts though, apt-get is what you want [16:17] see the "SCRIPT USAGE AND DIFFERENCES FROM OTHER APT TOOLS" section of apt's man page [16:17] thank you tds [16:18] apt calls up apt-get or apt-cache or other legacy apt- commands depending on the switches used. [16:36] hihi linux people [16:36] a while ago, someone told me about a terminal command (not the standard library function) printf which can send data to a serial port with full control over start and stop bits, baud rate, parity and so on [16:37] I totally forgot how to do it [16:37] can someone remind me [16:37] it's sort of hard to google as you just get buried in the results for the c function [16:38] Jan-, 'help printf' gets you the bash builtin, and 'man printf' should get you /usr/bin/printf [16:38] However, I don't see baud rate, etc 'in either [16:38] me either [16:40] alternatively I'd like to know how to get or set those parameters in the general case [16:40] then I can just go echo -n foo > /dev/ttyUSB0 [16:40] I'm basically looking for the equivalent to the windows mode command [16:40] I've seen people use 'screen' to use /dev/ttyUSB0 as an interactive shell [16:40] And done it myself, actually [16:42] doesn't help me figure out what settings it's using [16:43] the sitaution is that I'm writing a software serial decoder for a microcontroller and it's behaving as if it isn't actually doing 8,n,1 serial (if you know what I mean) which would be the obvious default to me but I don't know [16:43] on windows you just "mode COM20" and it'll tell you [16:43] on linux "stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0" gives you the bitrate [16:45] Ok. Yeah, I've not done much with serial [16:54] i've not done it by piping from stdin either (just using minicom + screen). web searches and the stty man page seem to suggest that you should be able to first set the parameters (not just the baud rate, but all of the 8n1, too) using stty, then just redirect in- and output to / from the serial device from a shell. [17:05] I've bought a monitor and it has USB-C port, DP port, and 2 HDMI. I tried using the USB-C to USB-C cable that followed to connect to my mac and it worked. However the monitor was intended for my Ubuntu stationary. I've tried many possible cables and setups and everytime the screen just says "Power saving mode" [17:05] and there is no image [17:05] ubuntu however discovers the monitor [17:06] it discovers that I have 2 monitors and all the details about the monitor [17:06] but there is no image [17:07] I don't think it's a cable problem anymore, I tried HDMI-HDMI, DVI-HDMI, DVI-DP and HDMI-USB-C [17:07] some cases I get "No signal" for example with HDMI-USB-C [17:07] and it's not detected in Ubuntu. [17:07] but other times it's detected but the screen says "Power saving mode" === GraysonB_ is now known as GraysonBriggs [17:10] Hi [17:10] Siamaster: please provide ubuntu version, ubuntu !flavour, graphics chipset(s), X variant (Xorg/XWayland), xrandr output (only on Xorg), journalctl -f output added by the time you connect the monitor. [17:10] !pastebinit | Siamaster [17:10] Siamaster: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit [17:11] hi harsh [17:11] Am getting the error on apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [17:11] What to do? [17:11] Ubuntu 18.04 [17:11] most of the time you just wait a few minutes then try again [17:11] How can I find out which ubuntu version I am running? [17:11] Aleric: lsb_release -a [17:12] Thank you lotuspsychje [17:13] Solution for problem? [17:14] most of the time you just wait a few minutes then try again [17:14] Okay... Thanks, buddy...!! [17:14] harsh: let us know if it still happens after 5 minutes. [17:15] harsh: are you using `sudo` ? [17:16] harsh: actually, sorry, i gave an incorrect answer in this case. the correct answer is: you need to use sudo [17:16] going back to what we were saying earlier [17:16] yes in theory I'm told you can set it all with stty [17:16] but nobody ever says how :/ [17:16] Jan-: i think you were talking to lordcirth [17:17] whoever :/ [17:17] Jan-, I wouldn't know. The only time I've used serial is when getting a terminal on a switch. [17:17] I can't find it :(. I want to connect my tablet to my PC over wifi. So I need my PC to provide wifi. But when I search for "how to create wifi hotspot on ubuntu 18.04 PC" I only get results for laptop and other mobile devices that give directions that don't even exist on my desktop. [17:18] well the stty man page does. first you provide the transfer speed, then add more settings and their values/parity [17:18] My motherboard doesn't have wifi - but I have a pci card for wifi - not sure if it can provide wifi, or only can connect to wifi though. [17:18] ignore "/parity" [17:20] Jan-: example: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/242778/what-is-the-easiest-way-to-configure-serial-port-on-linux#answers [17:20] Aleric, does this work? https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/09/how-to-create-wi-fi-hotspot-in-ubuntu.html [17:22] lordcirth: no... here is my desktop: https://gyazo.com/b3b3e31731fbbb12385981ddff74a6d2 [17:22] I don't have the icons they show. [17:23] Aleric, so, you've heavily customized your desktop. What DE is that? [17:23] Oh, KDE [17:23]
