Regorhow can i make thunar show option of " recent opened folders......" ?06:43
brainwashRegor: try this https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/41805609:51
Regorthanks09:52
Regorit gives recent opened files not recent opened folders11:01
Regorbrainwash:11:01
Regorthough its useful enough11:01
brainwashRegor: not sure if having that option would make much sense. if you browse through different folders, the list would get spammed with new entries.11:08
Regoractually it makes sense if it gives last 5-6 folders .. it saves time a lot..11:10
brainwashfeel free to open a new bug report for this11:13
Regorif i  open mousepad/vlc ..... i see recent opened files ...so i can access directly .. its no spamming at all ..11:13
Regorys.  bug report is  good idea11:14
GusjHi there, I am unable to get connected with my wired lan connection, When I do 'lshw -C network' the ethernet card shows as DISABLED, but I have it enabled through gui, I am on Xubuntu 19.01013:12
GusjI also have restarted network-manager several times to same result..13:13
diogenes_Gusj, have you ever been able to connect through ethernet on linux before?13:14
Gusjdiogenes_:  Nope this would be the 1st time, I wanted to enable wake up on lan, I have also added to the /etc/network/interfaces, the following lines with the logical name of my ethernet card: 'auto enp2s0 , iface enp2s0 inet dhcp'13:16
diogenes_Gusj, i didn't get that. you're saying you have never tried ethernet+linux on this machine?13:17
Gusjdiogenes_: That is correct, I have onyl connected using wifi, since I wanted to use wake on lan, I connected the lan cable from router and have not been able to get online13:18
diogenes_Gusj, then how can we make sure the ethernet card is not broken? It might be the card itself.13:19
Gusjdiogenes_: I have no idea how we can test that on Xubuntu, it shows up in lshw -C network correctly13:22
sublevelCan you check the cable with another machine?13:22
diogenes_Gusj, it doesn't say anything if it shows, it might still be broken.13:22
Gusjdiogenes_: in lshw -C network, it said disabled, and I did 'sudo ifconfig enp2s0 up' and now it does not say disabled13:23
Gusjdiogenes_: But why would that be the case?? as a first option?? that ssumption?13:23
diogenes_Gusj, because i personally had such situation when the network card was detected, everything seemed right but it still couldn't connect because it was broken.13:24
Gusjdiogenes_: With 19.10 as opposed to 18.04 even the wifi works intermittenly sometimes boots yes, sometimes no, even if wifi is on, the ssid list is not populated,13:25
diogenes_Gusj, wireless module has nothing to do with the ethernet card, they work independently.13:26
Gusjdiogenes_: So there is no other test I can check to get lan connection working?13:26
Gusjdiogenes_: yes but both under the network-manager13:27
diogenes_Gusj, sublevel already suggested you something.13:27
Gusjdiogenes_: yes I tried that to no effect :(13:27
diogenes_Gusj, then you could try on windows.13:29
Gusjdiogenes_: install windows to test the ethernet card?13:29
diogenes_Gusj, you can install windows on a usb pendrive and boot it from there.13:29
Gusjdiogenes_: Ahh i c.. just for information, when I scan my whole network from my macbook, I can see the ethernet card on xubuntu, its mac address and its ip13:31
Gusjdiogenes_: isnt that an indication that the card is working?13:31
diogenes_Gusj, not necessarily, could you pastebin: nmcli device13:33
Gusjdiogenes_: Copied it here, cant connect to do pastebin, the 3 lines, 'enp2s0 ethernet unmanaged' 'lo loopback unmanaged' wlp1s0 wifi unmanaged'13:35
Gusjdiogenes_: the connection column in all lines is empty, has '--'13:35
diogenes_try: nmcli device connect enp2s013:36
Gusjdiogenes_: thank you, it says "Error: Failed to add/activate new connection: Connection 'enp2s0' is not avaliable on device enp2s0 because device is strictly unmanaged"13:38
diogenes_Gusj, yeah now you see.13:40
Gusjdiogenes_: I am sorry, I see what exactly?13:42
diogenes_Gusj, that ethernet card looks broken, unresponsive.13:42
Gusjdiogenes_: Ahhh I c... fk :(13:44
Gusjdiogenes_: Is there another test that we could try13:47
diogenes_Gusj, how old is the PC?13:48
Gusjdiogenes_: 201413:48
diogenes_what model?13:48
Gusjdiogenes_: Toshiba Satellite C55-A510513:49
diogenes_another way to try is to run a live session of ubuntu 16.04 and see if it makes any difference.13:49
Gusjdiogenes_: Ahh ok ok will try that..13:51
Gusjdiogenes_: Thank you, and to force the wifi to populate the ssids, what could I try? It is kind of frekish,. if I reboot it works, its as if something is stopping the wifi from doing its job sometimes...13:52
diogenes_Gusj, then you can: sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager13:53
Gusjdiogenes_: that is the thing, when I have booted to no wifi, I have tried that, and I can see it restarting, (icon near clock) but it does not do anything.. then I reboot and it connects by itself..13:54
diogenes_another ways is to: nmcli device disconnect wlp1s0 && sleep 3; nmcli device connect wlp1s013:55
Gusjdiogenes_: THANK YOU, THE OUTPUT IS: "Error: Device 'wlp1s0' (/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/3) disconnecting failed: this device is not active Error: not all devices disconnected"14:00
diogenes_ok was the wifi on and connected?14:00
Gusjdiogenes_: Yes wifi is on, but not connected, I don't see any networks, evenb if wifi is on, this is what happens14:02
diogenes_Gusj, maybe your pc just needs to be serviced, it might get overheated and the devices get disconnected or work very unstable, check the temperature with: sensors14:04
Gusjdiogenes_: Temperatures seem normal, +51.0C14:06
diogenes_Gusj, ok then with live ubuntu 16.04 we gonna see if wifi works better there.14:07
Gusjdiogenes_: Looking for a solution, I added, these lines to the /etc/network/interfaces file, the whole file has these lines i use comma here to signify line break: "auto lo, iface lo inet loopback,  auto enp2s0, iface enp2s0 inet dhcp,  auto wlp1s0, iface wlp1s0 inet dhcp"  is this correct?14:09
Gusjdiogenes_: So localhost, wifi, and ethernet14:09
diogenes_Gusj, who told you to do tht?14:09
Gusjdiogenes_: at the default, the file only had "auto lo, iface lo inet loopback" so I added the other lines after researching online14:10
diogenes_Gusj, omg, revert all the changes you have done and leave it the way it was by default.14:11
Gusjdiogenes_: Ok I just commented them out14:11
diogenes_Gusj, better comment everything out and reboot.14:11
Gusjdiogenes_: ok, doing that right now, commented everything out even the 'lo' that was there before14:12
Gusjdiogenes_: Diogenes I see somehitng different on the lan connection now... when I do 'nmcli connection show' it shows up as wired connection, type ethernet, device enp2s0 and the whole line is GREEN14:20
Gusjdiogenes_: When I ping the ip from my macbook it now works.. but when I try to ping from the xubuntu machine to xubuntu.org nothing happens14:20
diogenes_Gusj, cat /etc/resolv.conf14:21
diogenes_what do you get?14:21
Gusjdiogenes_: but on the network manager menu (nex tto clock) now i see wired connection, not greyed out and I can click on it14:21
Gusjdiogenes_: I get 2 uncommented lines: "nameserver 127.0.0.53, options edns0"14:22
diogenes_Gusj, now run: ping google.com14:23
Gusjdiogenes_: YES!!!!Q!!! it works on google.com and jkust opened the browser and it is now working/.!!!!!!!14:24
diogenes_Gusj, now the lesson is, don't ever edit system config files if you don't know what are they for!14:24
Gusjdiogenes_: xubuntu.org does not let me ping... I don't understand Diogenes, was it that lo lines preventing me?? they were there before...14:25
Gusjdiogenes_: haha ok ok thank you.. but the 2 'lo' lines were there before, these 2: 'auto lo, iface lo inet loopback'\14:25
diogenes_Gusj, xubuntu.org is not pingable, you must try to ping their ip.14:25
Gusjdiogenes_: It appears that those lo lines that were there before were preventing me from connecting with lan.. because the problem was there before I added the other 4 lines.. the interfaces file comes with that localhost14:28
sublevelAll my file has in is   auto lo14:33
subleveliface lo inet loopback14:33
Gusjsublevel: Thank you,14:33
Gusjdiogenes_: diogenes_: Thank you.. I also wanted to ask, although this is somewhat speficic, I have been wrestling with this laptop for a month now, Tomreyn has tried to help me along with TJ-, the laptop does not recognize internal keyboard and trackpad, I am runing now with usb kybrd and mouse.. the computer sees internal kybd and track pad, assigns irq but has tporuble configuring them.. only 4 keys work, one of the solutions I have found is to rec14:36
Gusjompile the kernel, with ACPI and Toshiba support ( CONFIG_ACPI and CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA) at the present moment I have by default installation (dmesg kernel) "toshiba_acpi: Toshiba Laptop ACPI Extras version 0.24, toshiba_acpi: Unable to activate hotkeys14:36
sublevelI haven't used it for years, but there's a program called etckeeper that lets you track changes in /etc with version management tools (e.g. git)  -  can be useful if you're altering things and want to check what happened at a later date14:36
Gusjsublevel: thank you made a note for it to install it later14:36
sublevelhttps://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/etckeeper.html14:37
GusjIs there a way I can access, the 'toshiba_acpi' that got installed by default? or do you think I have to recompile kernel with these options on?14:37
Gusjhave been really struggling with this laptop trying to make at least the internal keyboard work, it shows up in 'xinput list', but when I do 'acpi_listen' only about 4 keys work.. have read ALOT of info online about this problem with toshiba laptops, the only thing I have not tried is to recompile kernel with those toshiba options on, but reading up on how to compile a kernel, I don't know WHERE do i have to set those options14:40
Gusjkeyboard and trackpad work perfectly in the bios btw14:40
Gusjand have tried a million different grub commands, with the ones I have at the moment, I get these 4 keys to work at least, all the rest, the kybd is dead14:41
GusjGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="atkbd.reset=1 i8042.kbdreset=1 i8042.dumbkbd=1 i8042.reset acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi=! acpi_osi='Windows 2013'"14:41
Gusj"atkbd serio0: Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program might be trying to access hardware directly."14:42
diogenes_Gusj, honestly, i'd have sold (or exchange) that pc and buy something more linux friendly.14:43
Gusjthe more direct question is: where do I add those options speficially while recompiling the kernel? ( CONFIG_ACPI and CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA) ??14:43
Gusjdiogenes_: I know, I am unable to do that at the moment, I thought I would try this solution, there is an app called 'fnfx' which is avaliable through synaptic pckg manager that helps with toshiba hotkeys, but the app says in synaptic that these 2 options need to be enabled in the kernel14:44
GusjI have been high and low tourbleshooting this laptop, but it has helped me in learning about linux, used it 20 some years ago and back after a long time..14:45
GusjI have found this guide ===> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile  but I don't know at what point I can enable those toshiba options14:46
GusjCould somebody please take a look at the instructions at: http://jpcozar-public.wikidot.com/bluetooth-en-laptop-toshiba-satellite-usando-modulo-omnibook  this is to compile a module called Omnibook that apparently helps with toshiba laptops too, can I follow theses instructions along?15:36
Gusjthey are in spanish, but to see if the directions seem appropriate for you15:36
GusjSpanish is my 1st language15:37
GusjHave not been able to install it, the package is git://omnibook.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/omnibook/omnibook and it supposed to enable hot keys functionality on toshiba laptop as well, a possible fix for my internal kybrd and trackpad not recognzed16:17
GusjI have already donwloded the kernel headers, and the package is in /usr/src/omnibook/omnibook all of the .c files, but I do not know how to proceed....16:18
Gusjis what I am trying to do called" compiling a kernel module into the kernel? so that I can google instructions?16:26
GusjWhen I do 'sudo make install' I get the following errors ===> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vPsVy7gfHR/16:28
