[01:49] hello [01:49] I am just wondering where your source for Xubuntu and Ubuntu is === s0rcer3r is now known as sorcerer [06:43] how can i make thunar show option of " recent opened folders......" ? [09:51] Regor: try this https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/418056 [09:52] thanks [11:01] it gives recent opened files not recent opened folders [11:01] brainwash: [11:01] though its useful enough [11:08] Regor: not sure if having that option would make much sense. if you browse through different folders, the list would get spammed with new entries. [11:10] actually it makes sense if it gives last 5-6 folders .. it saves time a lot.. [11:13] feel free to open a new bug report for this [11:13] if i open mousepad/vlc ..... i see recent opened files ...so i can access directly .. its no spamming at all .. [11:14] ys. bug report is good idea [13:12] Hi 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 19.010 [13:13] I also have restarted network-manager several times to same result.. [13:14] Gusj, have you ever been able to connect through ethernet on linux before? [13:16] diogenes_: 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' [13:17] Gusj, i didn't get that. you're saying you have never tried ethernet+linux on this machine? [13:18] diogenes_: 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 online [13:19] Gusj, then how can we make sure the ethernet card is not broken? It might be the card itself. [13:22] diogenes_: I have no idea how we can test that on Xubuntu, it shows up in lshw -C network correctly [13:22] Can you check the cable with another machine? [13:22] Gusj, it doesn't say anything if it shows, it might still be broken. [13:23] diogenes_: in lshw -C network, it said disabled, and I did 'sudo ifconfig enp2s0 up' and now it does not say disabled [13:23] diogenes_: But why would that be the case?? as a first option?? that ssumption? [13:24] 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. [13:25] diogenes_: 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, [13:26] Gusj, wireless module has nothing to do with the ethernet card, they work independently. [13:26] diogenes_: So there is no other test I can check to get lan connection working? [13:27] diogenes_: yes but both under the network-manager [13:27] Gusj, sublevel already suggested you something. [13:27] diogenes_: yes I tried that to no effect :( [13:29] Gusj, then you could try on windows. [13:29] diogenes_: install windows to test the ethernet card? [13:29] Gusj, you can install windows on a usb pendrive and boot it from there. [13:31] diogenes_: 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 ip [13:31] diogenes_: isnt that an indication that the card is working? [13:33] Gusj, not necessarily, could you pastebin: nmcli device [13:35] diogenes_: Copied it here, cant connect to do pastebin, the 3 lines, 'enp2s0 ethernet unmanaged' 'lo loopback unmanaged' wlp1s0 wifi unmanaged' [13:35] diogenes_: the connection column in all lines is empty, has '--' [13:36] try: nmcli device connect enp2s0 [13:38] diogenes_: thank you, it says "Error: Failed to add/activate new connection: Connection 'enp2s0' is not avaliable on device enp2s0 because device is strictly unmanaged" [13:40] Gusj, yeah now you see. [13:42] diogenes_: I am sorry, I see what exactly? [13:42] Gusj, that ethernet card looks broken, unresponsive. [13:44] diogenes_: Ahhh I c... fk :( [13:47] diogenes_: Is there another test that we could try [13:48] Gusj, how old is the PC? [13:48] diogenes_: 2014 [13:48] what model? [13:49] diogenes_: Toshiba Satellite C55-A5105 [13:49] another way to try is to run a live session of ubuntu 16.04 and see if it makes any difference. [13:51] diogenes_: Ahh ok ok will try that.. [13:52] diogenes_: 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... [13:53] Gusj, then you can: sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager [13:54] diogenes_: 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.. [13:55] another ways is to: nmcli device disconnect wlp1s0 && sleep 3; nmcli device connect wlp1s0 [14:00] diogenes_: 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] ok was the wifi on and connected? [14:02] diogenes_: Yes wifi is on, but not connected, I don't see any networks, evenb if wifi is on, this is what happens [14:04] 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: sensors [14:06] diogenes_: Temperatures seem normal, +51.0C [14:07] Gusj, ok then with live ubuntu 16.04 we gonna see if wifi works better there. [14:09] diogenes_: 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] diogenes_: So localhost, wifi, and ethernet [14:09] Gusj, who told you to do tht? [14:10] diogenes_: at the default, the file only had "auto lo, iface lo inet loopback" so I added the other lines after researching online [14:11] Gusj, omg, revert all the changes you have done and leave it the way it was by default. [14:11] diogenes_: Ok I just commented them out [14:11] Gusj, better comment everything out and reboot. [14:12] diogenes_: ok, doing that right now, commented everything out even the 'lo' that was there before [14:20] diogenes_: 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 GREEN [14:20] diogenes_: 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 happens [14:21] Gusj, cat /etc/resolv.conf [14:21] what do you get? [14:21] diogenes_: but on the network manager menu (nex tto clock) now i see wired connection, not greyed out and I can click on it [14:22] diogenes_: I get 2 uncommented lines: "nameserver 127.0.0.53, options edns0" [14:23] Gusj, now run: ping google.com [14:24] diogenes_: YES!!!!Q!!! it works on google.com and jkust opened the browser and it is now working/.!!!!!!! [14:24] Gusj, now the lesson is, don't ever edit system config files if you don't know what are they for! [14:25] diogenes_: 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] diogenes_: haha ok ok thank you.. but the 2 'lo' lines were there before, these 2: 'auto lo, iface lo inet loopback'\ [14:25] Gusj, xubuntu.org is not pingable, you must try to ping their ip. [14:28] diogenes_: 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 localhost [14:33] All my file has in is auto lo [14:33] iface lo inet loopback [14:33] sublevel: Thank you, [14:36] diogenes_: 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 rec [14:36] ompile 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 hotkeys [14:36] I 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 date [14:36] sublevel: thank you made a note for it to install it later [14:37] https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/etckeeper.html [14:37] Is 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? [14:40] have 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 options [14:40] keyboard and trackpad work perfectly in the bios btw [14:41] and 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 dead [14:41] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="atkbd.reset=1 i8042.kbdreset=1 i8042.dumbkbd=1 i8042.reset acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi=! acpi_osi='Windows 2013'" [14:42] "atkbd serio0: Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program might be trying to access hardware directly." [14:43] Gusj, honestly, i'd have sold (or exchange) that pc and buy something more linux friendly. [14:43] the more direct question is: where do I add those options speficially while recompiling the kernel? ( CONFIG_ACPI and CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA) ?? [14:44] diogenes_: 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 kernel [14:45] I 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.. [14:46] I have found this guide ===> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile but I don't know at what point I can enable those toshiba options [15:36] Could 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] they are in spanish, but to see if the directions seem appropriate for you [15:37] Spanish is my 1st language [16:17] Have 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 recognzed [16:18] I 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.... [16:26] is what I am trying to do called" compiling a kernel module into the kernel? so that I can google instructions? [16:28] When I do 'sudo make install' I get the following errors ===> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vPsVy7gfHR/ [16:45] hi === lochnas is now known as Guest15289 === Exterminador is now known as PeGaSuS [17:51] anyone have any idea why after i login to xubuntu 18.04 it only shows my wallpaper and blank panels? I cam ctrl alt f1 and then f7 and all is fine? [17:52] Casper26, is "save session" enabled? [17:53] no [17:55] look in .xsession-errors [18:05] i see a lot of QQmlComponent: Created graphical object was not placed in the graphics scene? [18:08] QQmlComponent? that's qt related. [18:11] https://pastebin.com/F4T56Xby [18:11] thats everything in the xsession-errors file [18:16] Casper26, what changes you did to your system? [18:17] short of installing some applications very little [18:17] exact same setup as 3 other machines they work fine [18:18] only difference this machine is using proprietary nvidia drivers [18:19] and is multi monitor [18:21] and this started to happen after you installed nvidia? [18:22] no it's done since install [18:22] maybe try a new user. === Guest15289 is now known as lochnas
