[00:54] Does anyone havea good guide to installing Ubuntu alongside windows 10? [00:54] Im running into some issues trying to get dual bootwork working [00:55] !dual boot | sgen [00:55] sgen: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [00:58] Bashing-om: Thanks!

[02:15] " [02:20] CyberFingers, it's possible the mirror is currently refreshing it's packages and files from the primary repository. Try again in later [02:21] can I change the server in the sources.list file? thanks [02:25] CyberFingers: mirror you're using is having issues? try opening the Ubuntu software center, click the Edit menu > "Software Sources" and click the "Software" tab - try selecting a different mirror from the dropdown list ("Download from") . [02:26] I'm using terminal [02:28] CyberFingers, then it is better to wait this one out... usually a mirror is only down for a short while. Try again in an hour [02:28] CyberFingers: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors // 389 mirrors registered, when you have one in mind - then 'sed' to replace in your sources.list file. [02:29] CyberFingers, Also, this channel focuses mostly on the Desktop version of Ubuntu. If you are running server (or prefer to work in the terminal), it's better to use the #ubuntu-server chat where reponses are more likely to be given assuming you're in the terminal [02:30] OK Thanks :) === zbenjamin is now known as Guest59867 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:44] anyone using transmission for torrents [02:44] CyberFingers: I'm not sure I agree with other's advice. archive.ubuntu.com is the main, official US-based Ubuntu archive. While it certainly doesn't hurt to change mirrors, theres no reason you should need to do so. [02:45] CyberFingers, While it shouldn't have caused you any issues, looking at the archive, the file in question was infact updated/replaced a bit before you asked your question. That file is routinely updated as packages are updated. I would simply try it again. [02:45] I want to crank up the upload on transmission, accept more peers, speed and such [02:46] Gotta seed them ubuntu torrents harder - there should be a file by file override for global, it's also in preferences [02:47] augz, it still seems to crawl [02:48] Edit -> preferences there's a speed, and downloading portion. sometimes it takes a minute to get peers found it's just the protocol, there has to be a more appropriate channel for that help [02:48] speaking of ...i have some of those to add... [02:49] augz, heh yes I think another channel heh [02:49] #transmission [03:14] I use virtual box, kubuntu for both host and guest. The pixels in guest are not sharp/accurate. What do I need to do? [03:22] I'm having trouble finding any resources on this. I'm trying to define either a path or wildcard of files to be excluded from cachefilesd, or set an inclusive set of files, as they are being shared across auto-scaling servers via EFS mount. Does anyone know of such a way to configure cachefilesd for that within Ubuntu? === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [03:56] I have a quick question.

How do I set Ubuntu applications Transparencies and keep them permanent. Like after every restart? [09:20] [09:20] I've been using this command: sh -c 'xprop -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c -set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY $(printf 0x%x $((0xffffffff * 80 / 100)))' [09:21] It works great. But I have to do it on every start up and would like it to be permanent on the windows I use it on? === Leion1 is now known as Leion [09:59] hey. supppppper annoying: Ubuntu 19.10, deactivated Automatic Update Check to "NEVER" in the Software & Updater GUI, also editied the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic file and set ALL unattended-upgrade, update etc. etc. to 0, also I followed some advice and deactivated the systemctl of the daily check by apt.timer and apt.service with systemctl [09:59] disable --now apt-daily{,-upgrade}.{timer,service}. Now I start my system again, and guess what: Update-notifier process prompts me Software&Updater and wants me to update! What the heck is wrong with this freaking system that all settings set are still overwritten by some other bs? Any advice except to report a bug again.... ? === Leion1 is now known as Leion [10:10] anyone her who can help me fix my bluetooth device not working? [10:11] my network device is rtl8723de [10:26] hi all [10:28] Anyone familiar with an alternative to compiz for application window transparency? === Leion1 is now known as Leion [10:36] mmhh... connection issues. i asked some question regarding ubuntu update. Still see my Q? [10:38] quaklo: why not just update? [10:39] ... why always counter questions... [10:39] updates are good [10:39] a system not doing what I say is bad [10:39] yes [10:40] but also, not updating is bad, so i'm curious [10:40] ... always replying to someone curiosity "steals" me 90% of the time. If you can not think of any scenario where it might come handy I may not inspire you [10:41] ya it can be super beneficial to not update [10:41] what? [10:41] nobody talks about not updating. It is about AUTO updating! [10:41] isnt it just notifying you that there is updates [10:41] that's not what you said [10:42] you said it wanted you to update, not that it is automatically doing it [10:42] joemerit yeah it is, but for that it has to be started, make some connection, download data. 3 steps i dont want. exp. not at every restart of a system [10:42] remove the notifier software [10:43] just set it properly in the update-manager and it will work [10:43] joemerit was thinking about removing the package aswell. but that is not a clean solution to me. [10:43] ben64 wow dismissed. lol [10:43] it does work [10:44] well. maybe you should not claim whats wrong. doesnt. [10:44] maybe you're wrong [10:44] here we go again, getting personal without any clue [10:44] personal? [10:44] irc needs some ignore feature [10:44] your client probably has it [10:45] nah, webchat. never use irc. to 90s [10:45] well 19.04 loses support this month so either way you won't have updates for long :) [10:45] oh wait, 19.10, you have till July [10:46] ... ben stfu please [10:46] rude [10:46] you incisted on [10:46] you came in here looking for support with an attitude [10:46] yes, i came here asking for support and you reply with nonsens. [10:47] i asked a simple question, which you could have just answered [10:47] if you are so geeky, cmon, whats about the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic unattended-upgrade 0 cfg I set, or the systemctl disable --now apt-daily{,-upgrade}.{timer,service}? Mhh? you did not asked a simpel question. you made up zynism first. so please just move on [10:47] and you refuse to accept that you could have been wrong about your diagnosis [10:48] quaklo: why not just update? [10:48] very simple question [10:48] and again, has nothing to do with the question. like I sayed, people like you steal me 90% of the time because you think your nonsens Q has any matter [10:49] you're wasting so much time instead [10:49] Hi. [10:49] so is it updating on its own or just prompting to update? [10:49] anybody else in here enjoing the show? That ben really has to be born 64, am i right? [10:49] quaklo: the attitude is a great way to ensure you do not get help in this channel [10:50] I'm trying to open a slideshow in LibreOffice impress, but it starts the slideshow automatically on a different monitor. When I press escape, libreoffice exits? [10:50] guess what, I do not seek your help [11:03] hi all im having major issues with my bluetooth after resuming from sleep, can anyone recommend how to handle bluetooth turning itself off to save power (turning off from gui settings power isnt persistent) and systemctrl restart bluetooth + unplug reconnect bluetooth dongle wont allow me to find my speaker after sleep resume [11:16] Hi, we use a SD card for booting multiple Raspberry Pi's. Unfortunately netplan seems to bind to interface name (and even the MAC address). Is there a way to have netplan just do dhcp on whatever interface? [11:18] freakynl, yup - you can use something like this: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Y5dCjD4ScT/ in /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml and that'll just run dhcp on eth0; the "match:" stuff gets added by cloud-init when it doesn't find an existing network-config; for reference that's something we fixed in eoan so hopefully this shouldn't be an issue going forward [11:20] (from eoan onward, the first-time network configuration can be found in "network-config" on the boot partition: edit that to include whatever you want before first boot and cloud-init will give it to netplan) [11:20] waveform: thanks I'll try that. There's no match stuff in the paste however and I'm not sure the interface will always be called eth0 [11:21] freakynl, "out of the box" the interface should always be eth0 (at the moment) but yes, if you're doing something in your config that renames the interface you will need to adjust it accordingly [11:24] Does anyone know why Chrome's fonts in KDE look inconsistent? In Gnome it looks amazing. Why not in KDE? #ubuntu18.044 #kde5.12.9 #plasma - https://i.imgur.com/OmPLvsD.png [11:31] Hi guys [11:31] I have a Lenovo L580 with i7 8th gen cpu [11:31] It has turbo on up to 4Ghz [11:32] When I run "stress --cpu 8" and lscpu | grep MHz it maxes at 2.5Ghz [11:32] Anybody have a idea on why this is? [11:33] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1077856/intel-turbo-boost-not-working-properly-18-04 [11:35] XiAye: will check thanks. no_turbo = 0 atleast [11:41] To answer my own question: go to KDE System Settings > Appearance > Application Style > Gnome Application Style and set the font as desired. Cool! :) [12:04] My virtual pc with ubuntu suddenly has begun unresolve dns names. Ping by IP works. I put dns 1.1.1.1 everywhere with nmcli and gui. But it hasn't been working yet. What to do next? [12:08] "dig @1.1.1.1 example.com" shows connection timed out === lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotuspsychje [12:16] I guess dns resolving broke down after update & upgrade [12:24] nslookup example.com 10.6.0.6 works! So the reason is the security policy of my company. They block all DNS requests outside LAN. [12:33] Hi, I have several machines running Ubuntu (19.10) and a USB HID device. I added udev rules to automatically assign the correctname to the device and assign hidraw. [12:34] now all machines have the exact same rule files. And on one of the machines if I connect the device and enter `lsusb -t` it shows the driver is bound [12:35] Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 12M. But on all other machines Driver= , 12M so the driver is not bound automatically. And I have to manually bind it with the following command: echo -n "1-3:1.0" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/bind === bildramer1 is now known as bildramer [12:35] at which point it then shows up correctly in lsusb -t and I am able to use it. Now I cannot figure out why one machine does this automatically and the others do not or how to fix it [12:42] I want an ubuntu iso that boots directly into a game (so I can flash multiple USBs to set up a LAN event). Obviously I can just write a script that runs on boot to launch into the game, but how do I go about making a small iso that can potential fit on a flash drive? [12:43] The game itself just sits in a download folder, it doesnt get 'installed' per se [12:44] Is anyone familiar with an alternative to compiz, to render application windows transparent? [12:46] Bluewolf: There is not a support alternative for Ubuntu [12:46] *supported [12:49] Bluewolf, you can trry some shell extension [12:49] Bluewolf, like this : https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/982/glassy-gnome/ [12:49] Bluewolf: In the more recent versions of Gnome-Shell and KDE, the Desktop Environments have been supplying their own window compositors. Gnome-Shell, the default DE for Ubuntu, supplies its own internal compositor, which does not play well with others at this time. It is tightly coupled to the Desktop Environment [12:54] ioria: I'm struggling to get it working. [12:54] Bluewolf, i see [12:54] pragmaticenigma: So I'm noticing. [12:55] Bluewolf, maybe a reboot or a logout/in [12:55] Bluewolf: https://askubuntu.com/a/8278 [12:55] Bluewolf: wich ubuntu release are you asking your question for anyway? [12:55] GNOME shell uses compositing and is integrated with Mutter, a compositing window manager for X11. Mutter is the next generation of the Metacity window manager which uses the Clutter toolkit for compositing. [12:55] GNOME Shell has received some controversy in the free software community because the planned tight integration with Mutter will mean that users of GNOME Shell will not be able to switch to an alternative window manager without breaking their desktop. In particular, users will no longer be able to use Compiz while GNOME Shell is running.[2]. Discussion between the developers of Compiz and GNOME has failed to resolve the issue. [12:55] However, it will still be possible for users to run the GNOME desktop environment without GNOME Shell and still use whatever window manager they choose. [12:55] lotuspsychje: Ubuntu Gnome 18.04 [12:57] pragmaticenigma: I'm way over Compiz. Its just not getting certain windows to be transparent that's annoying. [12:57] Hi folks [12:58] I can do it easy with this command: sh -c 'xprop -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c -set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY $(printf 0x%x $((0xffffffff * 80 / 100)))' [12:58] Which is perfect. Just can't make it a permanent fixture. Using it on each start up is a bit much [12:59] Bluewolf: That's because those commands are directed at Xserver... not the window manager [13:00] pragmaticenigma: And that's why it stops working after the program is closed. [13:02] Bluewolf: You might want to try asking in #gnome or their official channel is on the irc.gnome.org (GIMP network) [13:03] anyone here who can help me with my bluetooth? [13:03] !ask | sumagna [13:03] sumagna: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [13:04] pragmaticenigma: I'll give it a go, though I'm not optimistic. [13:04] i am having this problem after installing drivers for my rtl8723de wifi device [13:04] the bluetooth stopped working after that [13:05] i got the drivers/modules from rtlwifi_new repository of larry finger [13:05] !patience [13:05] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ [13:07] pragmaticenigma: lotuspsychje: ioria: Thanks for your time and help :y: [13:07] sumagna: Support in this channel is only available for software obtained in the official Ubuntu repositories. You will have to seek out help from the PPA maintainer for help with their software [13:07] Bluewolf, ok [13:09] ok will see to that === msalvatore_ is now known as msalvatore [13:16] Bluewolf, you could work on this script : while : ; do for i in $(wmctrl -l| awk '{print $1}' ) ;do xprop -id "$i" -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c -set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY $(printf 0x%x $((0xffffffff * 80 / 100))) ; done; sleep 1; done [13:45] is it possible to replace the included Networkmanager package with a more recent version direct from github? [13:47] aesthe: it is possible, but it is not supported by the volunteers here. [13:47] aesthe: is there a particular reason that you desire having the latest Network Manager version? [13:56] pragmaticenigma, I have been having trouple connecting to a company vpn via IpSec/l2tp. long story short I've noticed that none of the settings I have been writing have actually been making it to network manager. [13:57] I wanted to know if that option was available if I couldnt get it to work otherwise [13:59] aesthe: I don't believe a newer version is going to resolve that issue [14:00] unless you've seen something in their change logs/release notes to indicate otherwise. It sounds more like an implementation issue [14:05] yea you're probably right. I plan to spend some time on it on Friday. It just gets annoying when a few arch users are getting it to work without errors. Their version of NetworkManager is accepting options that Ubuntu isn't [14:05] or my version that is [14:12] aesthe: it's entirely possible. which version of Ubuntu are you currently using? [14:12] 16.04 with KDE plasma on top [14:13] oh, wow... that's pretty old [14:14] still LTS though [14:16] aesthe: Right, but if you're finding that something isn't working because of a versioning difference, I would recommend upgrading to a newer version of Ubuntu before trying to manually upgrade a single package. Building your own version is likely to have dependencies on things that aren't available in the 16.04 repos [14:17] aesthe: And while 16.04 is still supported, it is approaching EOL in a year. If you need to migrate, now is the time to start [14:17] Thanks, I'll look into it [14:18] !backports | aesthe: one other option is backports [14:18] aesthe: one other option is backports: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [14:37] hello [14:37] i was thinking about something [14:38] i want to remove the rtlwifi modules from the computer using dkms [14:39] because the bluetooth worked fine before it but how to remove it from the computer using dkms? [15:05] Hello [15:08] Anyone awake? [15:09] Hello iATR, hopefully your doing well today. Is there an Ubuntu support question we can help you with? [15:09] $ask [15:09] oh wrong channel. [15:10] I was mainly making sure that that I registered and everything properly. I do have a ssh question [15:12] I’m running Openssh server on laptop at home. Running Termius on my phone at work. The only time I can ssh my laptop seems to be when I’m on my home WiFi , is there a way around this? [15:15] Hey, I was upgrading 16.04 to 18.04 using do-release-upgrade. And now I ended up with a broken python. [15:15] python3-apt : Depends: libapt-inst2.0 (>= 1.4~beta3) but 1.2.32 is installed [15:15] Depends: libapt-pkg5.0 (>= 1.4~beta3) but 1.2.32 is installed [15:15] Can someone tell me if there's a way to fix that? [15:17] iATR: You would need configure your router to allow SSH traffic from the internet to reach your home computer. Usually called port forwarding. BE CAREFUL! Exposing your computer to the open internet can be very dangerous. It is not recommended to use the standard SSH port and it is also recommended that you harden SSH by switching to public key verfication and disabling password authentication. [15:18] I see [15:18] Maybe it’s not worth the hassle then and the risk! [15:19] iATR: using a non-standard port only does so much though. disabling password login for non-local clients would solve most of the security concerns. [15:19] @pragmaticenigma: Thanks for the info! [15:19] that pretty much shuts down drive by connection attempts. [15:20] @ryuo is it possible ssh home from anywhere with just my cellular service? [15:20] iATR: does your home network have a public IP? [15:21] iATR: if not then no. it requires at least one public IP for server stuff to work. [15:21] iATR: anything on cellular networks is usually behind CGNAT. [15:21] iATR: As long as your internet provider supplies you with a public ip address, it is possible. Though most ISPs provide Dynamic IP addresses which change regularly, meaning you would need to know what the IP address is before you leave home everyday, and even then, the ISP could change it later [15:21] I haven’t set a static ip. Although I did hear that is suggested [15:22] iATR: you can't set one unless your ISP provides you with one. [15:22] MindSpark, apt-cache policy libapt-inst2.0 libapt-pkg5.0 | nc termbin.com 9999 [15:23] @ryuo oh I didn’t know that! So I need to call them to get a static IP address? [15:23] iATR: not necessarily. dynamic DNS is a thing. [15:23] iATR: There are services that you can sign up for that offer free domain names that can be updated with some software on your computer. [15:23] ioria, https://termbin.com/x4ev1 [15:23] honestly if you're going to do fancy stuff like this you should probably get a suitable router. [15:24] it will make things a lot easier i think. [15:24] openwrt or so. [15:24] Ok. I truly appreciate all the advice! [15:24] openwrt can install a lot of addons to do a lot more. [15:25] dynamic dns just one of them [15:25] mine also runs some network services in some containers [15:26] MindSpark, cat /etc/apt/source.list | nc termbin.com 9999 [15:26] I will definitely check it out!

[16:19] That seems to have worked [16:19] !details | RoseBus [16:19] RoseBus: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. [16:19] MindSpark, sudo dpkg --configure -a [16:19] no output this time [16:20] MindSpark, sudo apt full-upgrade [16:20] i'm using nvidia jetson nano board and i downloaded the .tar from this link: https://developer.nvidia.com/deepstream-download [16:21] Ok, running. Thanks ioria! Can you maybe explain to me what the issue was? [16:21] i downloaded the .tar file for the tesla t4 which was not built for the nano board [16:21] somehow ubuntu let me install it, but i noticed it's failing to execute, then i realized i downloaded the wrong version [16:21] MindSpark, the first thing is an empty sources.list ??? very weird [16:22] RoseBus: is this something you manually execute? or did it install itself as a service? [16:22] so now i want to remove this version for tesla t4, and install the correct version [16:22] pragmaticenigma, it's not a service, it's manual exectution [16:22] MindSpark, the second are those external sources ubuntu.list* in sources.list.d [16:22] ioria, yes, what about them? [16:23] MindSpark, no idea [16:23] RoseBus: Then all you need to do is fing were it installed its files and delete them [16:23] *find [16:23] Ubuntu didn't know how to upgrade them to bionic maybe? [16:23] oh okay thank you pragmaticenigma i'll just delete the directory then [16:23] MindSpark, as i rule, when i perform an do-release-upgrade i remove/purge all the external sources [16:23] i wasn't sure if the binaries were moved by apt to some other location [16:24] MindSpark, maybe you enable -proposed or something like that [16:24] *ed [16:24] brb [16:24] Doesn't the script do that automatically? Hence those distUpgrade files? [16:25] Anyone running Mint on a late 2013 MacBook Pro? Everything working perfect for me aside from webcam. [16:25] RoseBus: apt only allows you to install from a package from a repository [16:26] omg yes you're right i used tar not apt [16:26] lmao [16:26] so minimal harm it would appear RoseBus [16:26] yea [16:28] pragmaticenigma, but at one point i did sudo ./install.sh [16:28] after i unpacked the binaries [16:29] and now i'm getting a symbolic link error when i try to run ./install.sh on the correct version [16:29] RoseBus: You might have to inspect the script to see where it might have installed stuff to [16:30] ok [16:34] I am having an issue where any web browser that I run frequently crashes or is in general just unstable. Sometimes the entire browser crashes unexpectedly, but more often than not it's an individual tab or several tabs which crash and has to be reloaded but the rest are fine. The hardware is a Dell XPS 13 9350 running Ubuntu 19.10 [16:34] Anyone have any ideas? [16:34] This is the sort of dmesg I am seeing: [39200.470659] traps: Compositor[9144] trap int3 ip:556047ec1c1d sp:7f3f23cc0590 error:0 in chrome (deleted)[556045577000+7170000] [16:35] something to do with a graphics driver perhaps? === akemhp_ is now known as akemhp [16:55] what yall use to rdp from windows to ubuntu? ive installed xrdp, connect and it prompts me for login but im trying X11rdp and it just doesnt seem to actually let me control the machine. === hexo is now known as grcamduhu [16:58] sethh_89: Personally I use VNC, secured behind a VPN [16:59] sethh_89, what DE ? gnome-shell ? [16:59] I tried VNC but had some issues. all my machines are local so dont need anything super secure [16:59] ioria KDE [17:00] sethh_89, can you login with Xorg (the first option, i mean)? [17:00] Wait I got it using xorg. I had to logout of the local machine I guess [17:00] sethh_89, I use x2go, but xrdp and the others require a 2D desktop. I use a minimla Mate desktop [17:00] Last time it just disconnected me [17:00] yes [17:00] Thank you [17:00] sethh_89, same with gnome3 [17:00] ok [17:01] sethh_89, that's why with xrdp people use xfce ot lxde [17:01] even x2go requires a 2D desktop [17:02] PLEASE HELP: Terminal in Ubuntu is no longer behaving properly! I tried 'reset' and now is does not echo typed commands properly, etc! How do I fix this please! [17:07] RadSurfer_ are you sure a key isnt stuck down? [17:07] No, it's something else. What I typed isn't echoed, and Up/down array fail to move through history! [17:07] Okay cool, I may look at xfce or something. [17:08] /s/array/arrows [17:08] I'm sure it can be fixed... [17:10] RadSurfer_: Did you accidentally press "Ctrl + s" ?? If so "Ctrl + q" might help? [17:10] what do they do? [17:11] Freeze? [17:11] "Ctrl + s" I think does something to the close to scroll lock. It "freezes" the terminal. "Ctrl + q" should restore it [17:12] Okay... but don't think I typed those... [17:13] I do it all the time by accident [18:06] Hi anyone got luch with XRDP? I did follow this guide, https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-xrdp-on-ubuntu-18-04/ but got no luck, i only see a blue screen. Not sure how to troubleshoot [18:07] funabashi: Did you also install XFCE ?? [18:09] pragmaticenigma: yeah correct [18:13] funabashi, did you set a /.xsession file [18:14] funabashi: Are you attempting to log into an existing session (one that you logged into on the localmachine) or remotely connect to a virtual environemnt [18:14] ioria: that technique may not work if the desktop manager is SDDM or GDM [18:15] pragmaticenigma, i use it on gdm3 [18:15] I Know this isn't the channel for it, but does anyone know if you can select the results of a command in the terminator terminal [18:15] ? [18:16] so I can run like `cat foo` and have the output highlighted for a copy/paste action? [18:16] funabashi, sorry not /.xsession but ~/.xsession [18:16] ioria: nope how do i set it? [18:16] (or better just copy the output) [18:16] funabashi, what's the main DE in use ? [18:16] pragmaticenigma a new test user which not are logged in [18:17] ioria: that's what I was referring to. SDDM and GDM3 do not set the "magic cookie" until after a user has authenticated. Which means setting up VNC and xRDP services won't work until the default DM is set to lightdm [18:17] funabashi, what's the main DE in use ? [18:17] DE? [18:17] Desktop Environment [18:17] funabashi, desktop environment [18:17] xfce [18:18] So I think I fucked up my dual boot install. my BIOS boot menu shows Windows Boot Loader (2 of them somehow) with a UEFI Label, and the ubuntu loader without, grub doesnt initilize. [18:18] Can I just wipe the ubuntu partition and reinstall it?
