[11:11] Hello, may i have a question for install/upgrade from KUBUNTU > XUBUNTU over SSH. There are installations in a network with KUBUNTU but i want take a new installtion of XUBUNTU. Is it possible to do this over remote (SSH ist active) or not? Sorry my english is not so good...=L [11:13] ....i want take a new installation, there are many network problems with kubuntu... === GridCube_ is now known as GridCube === sorinello1 is now known as sorinello [16:41] diogenes_ hello, did you try install the xubuntu focal fossa? [16:41] Noboru55, no [16:42] diogenes_ i didn't try the 19.04.. maybe it works better then 19.10 to me [16:44] Noboru55, it still uses xfce 4.12 so i guess no big difference. [16:45] i see.. the xfce 4.12 is not a problem, but the 18.04 works better beacuse the video drivers and config. and the cpu usage when copying and moving files [16:46] i do not know the difference of 18.04 and 19.10 in this kind of work, like video e moving copying files [16:46] the 19.10 really works in slow way here [16:46] =/ [16:47] so was thinking to try 20.04 to see how it works.... even its just in begining of the version [16:47] Noboru55, as an experiment you could try 19.10 but with 18.04 kernel or vice-versa. [16:48] vice-versa good word.. the same in my language [16:48] diogenes_ good idea. === sorinello1 is now known as sorinello === sorinello1 is now known as sorinello === sorinello1 is now known as sorinello [17:50] how do i set the clipboard from a terminal? this doesn't seem to do anything: echo foo | xclip -in -selection primary [17:51] (xclip returns 0, but the clipboard is not modified) [17:51] 18.04 [17:53] huh, seems Xubuntu doesn't use the "primary" clipboard? because if run `echo foo | xclip -in -selection primary` followed by `xclip -out -selection primary` , i do indeed get `foo`, but if i try to ctrl+V, i get something else [18:05] hans__: and with shift+insert? [18:07] brainwash, yup, shift+insert contains whatever i gave xclip -in -selection primary [18:07] don't know what shift+insert is tho :o [18:49] Hello, I have a problem with cryptsetup. At start of my PC the encryption does not work. No I started live CD and then I can encrypt. [18:50] I have XUbuntu 18.10 installed [19:11] !18.10 | xubuntu56w [19:11] xubuntu56w: Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) was the 29th release of Ubuntu. Support ended July 18th, 2019. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2019-July/004996.html [19:13] But I'm not able to update due to the problem [19:15] the "does not work" problem? [19:16] maybe you can describe a bit more detailed what you are doing that does not work, how you can tell that it does not work as expected. [19:17] also whether you recently changed something which may have caused it to stop working the way it used to (and if so, what you changed). [19:18] xubuntu56w: ^ [19:21] Yesterday it worked well. The system is LUKS encrypted. At start I'm asked for the password. If I enter the password I get the error message "cryptsetup failed, bad password or options" [19:23] If I start with Live/CD I can encrypt same drive. Curiously I got an error message, but I can access the drive. [19:29] xubuntu56w: maybe think about whether you have special characters in your LUKS encryption passphrase which will be located at different positions on an US-English keyboard. It could be that the keyboard layout changed for some reason. [19:30] also, if you can tell what the error message is you get to see when opening / accessing the LUKS encrypted storage from the live cd, this may be useful [19:31] That was my first thought, but unfortunately that is obviously not the problem [19:31] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery explains how to recover a system from a live cd (using a chroot). it's unfortunately somewhat advanced [19:32] I would check it again, I'm not able to unmount it [19:33] see the systemd journal also, maybe the storage is physically defective [19:33] journalctl -b0 -p err may report such [19:36] i'm afraid i need to leave it there for now, i'll be afk for a while, maybe for the night [19:36] ok, thank you === GridCube_ is now known as GridCube
