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